Bros & Shows - RHONY Returns Pt. 2 of 2 (RHONY Season Premiere Full Recap)

Episode Date: October 3, 2024

Whats up Bros? RHONY is back and while it wasn't the most exciting premiere that we've seen, we didn't hate it. We meet back up with everyone in the crew and it starts off with a teaser of the end of the season. At the end of the season photoshoot for the Title Image etc. a lot of the group is not on speaking terms. It seems Brynn is having some issues with some of the ladies... When the episode kicks off, it appears that relationships are a little fractured. Brynn is on the outs with a lot of the ladies as she plans a night out in hopes to reconnect. Erin and Abe have moved from Tribeca to uptown but they're having some issues that Erin isn't ready to speak about. Sai and Jessel hit the ice bath and Sai informs us that she is on a new zen path in hopes to fix some things that she saw last season. We get to meet Jenna's girlfriends mom as well as newbie Raquel (who seems super cool). The main focus this episode is Brynn keeps getting caught in lies, or misremembering/ misspeaking about past events. Erin is fed up with it, Sai is fed up with it, and the rest of the group is dragged into it as well as Brynn keeps spreading information behind the ladies backs. Is this the villain era for Brynn? Will Jenna bring enough to the show this season? Again, not the most exciting start but we did see some areas that give us hope that they can get on track in season 2. Want more access to the Bros?

The Dark Knight's definitive DC comic stories, adapted directly for audio for the very first time. Fear, I have to make them afraid. He's got a motorcycle, get after him, or have you shot?

What do you mean blow up the building? From this moment on, none of you are safe. New episodes every Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts. As there's a drive in a deep left field by Castellanos, it will be... Oh man, it's 8 o'clock. And so that'll make it a... I don't need the spotlight.

I shine just fine. Hi, I'm Karma. And yes, I am a bitch. Brov bros. We get to meet up with Jenna, and we don't get to meet her girlfriend, but we get to meet her mom. Yeah, that was bizarre. Wasn't that weird? Yeah.

Like, oh, no, my girlfriend's not going to be on, but... Nancy is. So Nancy, come on down. Come on in. Check out my closet. Let me know what you think about my shoes. Let me throw away some shoes. But this is the first time that we're introduced to Raquel, who is one of the newcomers.

She is an art curator or an art advisor. She does artwork on shows. And she's also a model. And she looks really cool. Yeah. She always goes, like, she's fucking cool. Yeah. I just got the vibe.

I was like, yeah, it's one of those things, too, where usually when we meet somebody new and they're going through their profession or they're going through their hobbies or whatever. And they end it with, I mean, basically, what don't I do? Right. This one actually landed. I tracked, yeah. Because I, there was obviously video and picture footage of all the things that she was doing. And then at the end, it's like, okay, no, I kind of believe you. You're pretty cool.

Yeah. That's funny. You said that because there are so many times, it's like, what can't I do? You're like, ah, shut the fuck up. But she said it, I'm like, I don't know. I don't know. Probably nothing. You could probably do everything.

Well, we're going to hold reservation just to make sure that you can act on a reality TV show. Yeah, we'll see. We don't know, yeah. We'll see. She did fine at her first episode. She did fine. But I do think it's cool that they have a similar backstory. Jenna and Raquel,

they're both in the fashion industry, known each other for years. They both were getting divorced from dudes at the same time and both coming out at the same time. So it's a very close backstory. I also think it speaks volumes that Jenna has support in the cast as well in somebody like Raquel so they can connect on that level. They're supported on that level.

And I think that's important. And so it may also lead to getting more out of Jenna if she feels more comfortable, perhaps. I'm not sure. But that's what I would like to see. I would love to see that because I don't think that we get enough out of Jenna. And I feel like... I saw some pitfalls this episode. And it's still the same as it was last year.

It's still the same complaints that we had where she's like, I don't want to fight. There's not a lot. Yeah, there's not a lot going on. She's doing things, even like the phone call to Erin to tell her what's going on. Why didn't we see that? Yeah, we didn't see that. I want to see you at least interacting to see what the conversation was like, but you're still like going behind somebody else's back because you don't want to fight like you're that much

of a pacifist that you're really going to do that like it doesn't work for this type of show if they had filmed the phone call between her and aaron and she got a little not i mean even just filming that moment i think would have done her a lot of favors even if she wasn't being like shady about it i just think the fact that you would show her moving behind the scenes mean she's playing the game a little bit even if her intentions were pure right but to find out later that she did that so that they wouldn't be fighting. Correct. Yeah, it's a little weird.

All right. I would like to see the phone call. But we get to Abe and Aaron, and they've moved uptown. So they're no longer in Tribeca. It wasn't up and coming enough anymore. You know, that was a really up and coming area last year. It was, yeah. Thanks to Jessel.

No one had heard of Tribeca until Jessel put it on the map. So good job on that one, Jessel. But they're uptown now. We find out Aaron's mom's battling breast cancer. She's on a third route of chemo. So hopefully that fight is going well. and her mom is getting better, but Aid makes a shroom joke.

Yeah. Because we're looking at townhouses. Yeah. And there's little cherubs on the ceiling. I think I know what cherubs are. Like, in my mind, I have a picture of a cherub. Can you describe to me what your image of a cherub is? No.

No? No. Okay. Nothing's coming. All right. You know what's weird is I'm thinking back to, there was like an old church hymn. I didn't include cherubs.

I didn't know what a cherub was at that point in time and then never really found out. Yeah, I think. I always thought it was like a little trumpet or something, like a trumpet that angels used or something. Oh, interesting. No, I see like a little, little bush with like little red flowery things, like balls on it. Yeah. That's what I see as a cherub, little cherubs. Okay.

I can't confirm that. No, that makes sense to me. My head goes. I can confirm it because it makes sense. Like a smurf movie or something. Sure, yeah. You know, I don't fucking know. But there's cherubs on the ceiling, and Abe makes a fairly harmless shroom joke.

And Aaron gets really upset about it. It's like, we can't talk about, like, why are you saying that? You can't talk about drugs and this and that and the other. Abe was all taken aback. I was honestly, like, it's shrooms, dude. It's 2024. Shrooms aren't as big of a deal as they used to be to the point where people tend to not get upset when they hear mushrooms. Like, if he'd been like, oh, yeah, there's cocaine or, like, LSD on the ceiling, like, all right.

Yeah, if you walked into a bath or. it was like a really shiny sink and you're like, oh, what's this for her? Ooh, this is a really flat surface right here. I mean, honestly, they should just take a book out of what we just saw in OC with Heather and Terry. Yeah. Don't admonish me on camera. Don't admonish me on camera. I don't like that.

Come on now. I don't do that. Wait till we're off camera. Yeah. No, don't. Give it to us. Give it to us. Beat us.

But Abe, confessional Abe, gets on there and says, there's some underlying things going on. I was shocked that he was the one to give us to. that info. I was then curious if Aaron wasn't aware that he had said that until she got to her confessional and they brought that up or they're like, what's going on with Abe? And she's like, oh, fuck, what do you mean? And maybe that led to some more? I don't really know.

That was interesting to me. It's always a weird move to me where you have Abe there who's saying, yeah, there's a lot of things going on under the surface that we're not getting into right now. Abe's out there doing that. And then you go to Aaron who just kind of pushed him down in this scene, but goes to her confessional where she's by herself and she has an open mic to say whatever she wants. She's not ready to talk about that. I don't know if I'm ready to address it.

Is that where your theory came from? Yeah, absolutely. Just in that. The whole scene, yeah. Gave you separation. Those two and then them sitting, like when they're sitting down at the restaurant talking to, it's just weird they're just at I think they're off

I agree that they're off to go from off to separate you know what happened I'm also throwing look I'm also talking about last year where A was really fucking weird and talking about swinging and stuff there's just there's more there

okay that fine I forgot about that part I'll give you that part I just I don't know it's a bold statement it's just a bold statement to be making awful I'm not wishing that it happens I know you're not we don't wish for that here We don't even wish the Tamara and Eddie get separated, and we hate them.

We don't wish for bad marriages. But I'm curious to see. I do think there's clearly more there. They do seem a little bit off, and that will be an interesting storyline to watch. And it does seem, if there are, here's the thing. If they're introing that episode one, we are going to discuss that this season. That will come up more. She has a confessional.

Yeah. That means there's more confessional. He's taking on a bigger role this season. And, you know, here's the thing. Actually, I'll save it for when the dudes come on, but we get to recap, and Mel, and I'm only bringing this one up, one because, you know, we get to meet, or I get to know a little bit more about

Raquel, but I thought Raquel was cool. Mel's cooler. She walks, you got a DuCotti shirt on, and she's got a fucking arm sleeve, and they ride bikes and shit. But, like, other characters on Housewife shows that have seen in the past that have said that they do cool shit,

I'm like, no, you don't. These two definitely do. Yeah, I agree. I want to, like, jump up and grab the light post. That resonated with me. I thought that. How many times I've thought of that? Oh, dude, yeah. You get bored in the backseat of a car and you're looking up.

You're like, I could probably just jump up and, like, grab that. Yeah, like, 100% when it's yours, usually like, obviously, it's way later in the situation when I'm thinking about potentially, like being in a car chase or something, like, for whatever reason. There's a box truck next to me, and I'm like, I could jump on that. Yeah, and I'd be fine. 1,000%. Like that UPS handle on the back of the truck? Oh, my God.

70 down the highway, done. Easy. Yeah. No, everybody has to do that outlandish, honestly. We could do that easily. let's go right now i had a pickup trucks you just jump out of the back dude we're waiting for i don't know bros are out of here let's go jump lots of trucks now let's keep going we're almost there we get to the floor room everybody looks great i loved the outfits i loved jenna's outfit yep and then when they called

it a vagina with a period i think i loved it even more because then i couldn't i said she's like ah that's all i see I'm like, unfortunately, that's now all I see as well. It is. But it's still a great dress. And her bringing you back up a little bit later, too, is great. Yeah, no, it was very funny. But Brin was excited to see Si when she got there. Aaron is apprehensive to see Brin, the Uber issue, and Jessel let slip that she got a text message from Aaron the night prior that just said, I'm so disappointed.

It just said so disappointed. So disappointed. Sorry, so disappointed, which is a very Aaron move. So weird. But did it surprise? It's very errant. No, not at all. It's just still so strange wrapping my head around that.

I can hear her saying like, so distant. And then not responding. Not saying why you're disappointed. You do question marks out of it. You just sit on this one. I'll see you tomorrow. Yeah. But I like that in this show and this is what gives me hope for the future and that they

are getting, you know, understanding how this all works. Because I brings up the I hate you comment right out of the gate. so who told you that this is where it starts to really point at brin having a much different approach this season because we have now and this also leads me to believe that what erin said was not negative yeah that she may have had a little stank on it but she wasn't trying to be an asshole about it because it comes out that brin was the one that told her and now we have brin behind three different rumors thus far and all in the first episode one episode in and i know to catch up on this like the off

season what they've been doing in the meantime but at the same time you are behind a lot of tension in this group to the point where I don't think you have anybody that's like team you right now I think Jessel will still hang with you because Jessel's Jessel. But as far as the other girls in the group

like who is Brin's go to right now? Because if Darius wasn't there she has nobody to go walk into the room with. No, not at all and she's completely left out to dry at that point. So I don't know if it's like I don't know what to say about Brin right now because you could say maybe she's trying a different approach this year and not doing that. I think yours is probably making a little bit more sense where other, you know, these other women have kind of figured out what to do in the show and have also kind of pinpointed a lot of shit on Brin with the whole I'm super bubbly and I just say things.

Nobody's ever mad at me because I can just laugh, which we saw last year with Aaron and Brin. It worked. And it really worked because Aaron even said in her confessional, I can't be mad at Brin that long. she's so cute and bubbly. Yeah, and she was mad at her frequently and then would be like, oh, Brin. Exactly. And that's how it always happened.

But this year it seems like a different approach. So I don't even think that Brin is necessarily taking a different approach. She's just getting caught up in shit that she didn't get caught up in last year. So I can't even call it sloppy because it's not like she's changing anything. I think it's sloppy, yeah.

Yeah, it's just really odd. But I mean, this could force Brin to grow maybe. Sure. Where she grows better into that role and she can do these things but be a little bit more quiet about it and she can try to, you know, build some friendships back, I guess, at this point.

Here's the thing if she's going to play this role. She has to be comfortable with some people not liking her. And I don't think that's a good point. Because you can, I think she'd be great at that role if she wants to go all in on it. Yeah. I don't think she can handle the heat. Yeah, and not everybody can, you know.

No, and you can base that directly off of her confessional when Cy walks in talking about how, you know, is this the time that me and Cy can really like bury the hatchet? finally, you're still holding on to hope. You're okay if you don't get along with Si. Sai is maybe she's just not your person. Maybe she's just not somebody that you want to hang out with, which

is fine, because Sai's personality is Sy's personality. I don't really see the two of them lining up that well. So it's okay if you just leave her out there, and then you can have some issues going forward because you guys are going to film together. But yeah, you're right. She has to come to terms of the fact that some people might just not like her. I don't know if she's going to be able to do that, but you get the

one-on-one between Sai and Jenna. this is where I'm confused by you because the first thing she says was I jumped to judgment I didn't get to know you and I talk shit before getting to know you and for that I take full accountability and I'm sorry

I was just a straight up apology with no butts we wouldn't have gotten that from Sy last year but that brings Cy back to Bryn where she's like she's just like she's unwell she starts saying that which I think that carries a lot more weight than hate than hate She's unwell, it implies that you're nuts And you're fucking lost your mind

And she keeps saying it And like, you know the way Like if you say it a certain way Like oh you're unwell Like now you're challenging like your mental status That's fucking I think that one is deeper But

Sye's like she always wants to start shit I think Sye is the first one I think she saw through the bubbly last year Maybe But she's like she always wants to start shit She's got shit with everybody Jessel wants to try Aaron's drink I thought this was such a fucking funny response

because it came out of nowhere just like, oh, I want to try your drink. She's like, I'd let you try it if you're nicer to me, but not in a funny way. Yeah. It's like, oh, there's Aaron. Everyone's got problems. Everybody's got problems.

This is their first time everybody getting all together. There's got to be some nerves out there for some of them, not all of them. And yeah, I mean, that's a very error in response, but I still. Disappointed text. With Sai specifically, and we did just say that it looks like Brin's behind like three different things that are going on right now, three different issues, and it's all going to come back on. on her. We just said, like, I still don't think that that should necessarily go back on Brin because she is relatively close to Jenna, about as close as Jenna is going to let you get to

her. So I think that that's just two friends saying, whatever. But Si, yes, she apologized, but then immediately went to Brin. So that's why I'm thinking, all right, maybe she's learned to apologize, or at least throw an apology out there to try to get it off. I didn't think that was genuine? It doesn't really matter to me if it's genuine or not because it's Jenna. You can apologize, you can just say, look, I'm really sorry, and Jenna's going to forgive you just for the sake of moving on. I understand that,

but I thought I was genuinely trying to make amends. I don't know. I need to see more, probably, but right now... Oh, you do? Then the first fucking episode? Look, it's the first 16 episodes. I'm still... She can't change that much in six months. You sure? Yeah. I did.

Well, that's way different. Way different. It's a easy card to you. It's a really easy card to play. No, I just, I still have vibes that she's just found a different way to play the game. I would agree with you except for the fact that she did acknowledge, I'm still me, and I'm not great all the time, but I am working on it. The acknowledgement of her behavior and continuous behavior, even though she's trying to work on it, for me, gives me hope. But time will tell.

It could turn into an unapologetic version of her. Pumpkin is here at Starbucks, and we're making it just the way you like. Handcrafted with real ingredients like our real pumpkin sauce and rich espresso out, sprinkled with pumpkin spice. It's full of real flavors you'll keep coming back for. Made just for you at Starbucks. Goodbye, summer movies, hello fall. I'm Anthony Devaney.

And I'm his twin brother, James. We host Raiders of the Lost Podcast, the ultimate movie podcast, and we are ecstatic to break down late summer and early fall releases. We have Leonardo DiCaprio leading a revolution in one battle after another, Timothy Chalmay playing power ping pong in Marty Supreme.

Let's not forget Emma Stone and Jorgos Lanthamos' Bugonia. Dwayne Johnson, he's coming for that Oscar. In The Smashing Machine, Spike Lee and Denzel teaming up again, plus Daniel DeLuis' return from retirement. There will be plenty of blockbusters to chat about, too. Tron Aries looks exceptional, plus Mortal Kombat too, and Edgar writes, The Running Man, starring Glenn Powell.

Search for Raiders of the Lost Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube. Are you looking for a movie review show where the critic is at the top of his or her game, meticulously breaking down and explaining exactly why a film does or does not work? Well, good luck with the search. Because we're having fun here on Adam does movies. Each and every week, I hit the big blockbusters, I cover the streamers, and I even toss in some movie news for fun.

Check out the show on Spotify, on Apple Podcasts, on YouTube. And hopefully, we can do movies together. Hot. Time will tell. She's just the same as last. Do you have to get the last word in? Yeah. Okay, cool.

Moving on. Jessel, being upset with Aaron, or sorry, vice versa. But back to Jessel and Aaron and the drink thing. This is when we get to find out about Aaron had found out about the conversation that was had because Jenna's a little snitch. Pretty much. Show us. I know. Why don't we not see that scene?

I still don't understand why we don't see that scene. And again... Is that shady? That's a little shady. It's shady, but it still points to the fact that I still don't think that Jenna belongs on this show. I'm giving her time. It's the first... Jesus Christ, bro.

It is the fucking premiere. Give it time to marinate. No, because it's the same take that I had last year and nothing's changed. It's the first... What changed to the off season? Anything? Did you hear anything about Jenna adjusting? I am not even sitting here defending Jenna.

I'm simply defending the first episode, and they... Go ahead. You started this episode out by saying they did a decent job. Why are you getting mad at me? Why are you gas-liding me? Jen is the one who called Aaron off-camera. I will not sit here and be gaslit in my own home. I'm not gas-lating you. I'm telling you what I think.

You can take your lighter and shove it up your ass, pal. I'll throw the gas canister up there, too. Later down there. Yeah, there is. Why don't you go ahead? Huh? All right. YouTube.

I warned you I was a frazzled little potato. YouTube. Check it out. What are you asking for help? No, I'm going to put the layer. Oh, you're going to show YouTube. Yeah, we'd probably get kicked off YouTube. Yeah, I don't think that would fly on YouTube.

But do you think if you farted with a lighter in your butt, it would catch fire? No. You'd have to strike it, I guess. Yeah. That'd be a talent. That would be a talent. Now we're talking about muscles. Yeah.

Oh, God. Jenna joins the conversation. Before we get to that part, Aaron's fed up with Brent. Sye is fed up with Bryn. Jenna wants to play in the middle. but she is also not perpetuating but relaying that Bryn is talking shit. Bryn is the issue right now. But Aaron was just bummed out that Jessel joined into this conversation talking about Aaron, right?

And if you go back and watch it, yeah, Jessel did somewhat. She wasn't like that all in on it, but she definitely was talking like, well, why would we both have that same story, implying that she did actually call her poor? But they bring Jenna over just to kind of squash everything. and that's when Jensil says, Jess Sol says that I thought it was just a funny story. I did like this confessional from Jenna because she's like,

let's roll the tape, check the film. She did say, I don't know why she's playing this role now. It's a little strange. And Jessel goes with the, I don't remember. And then cops to it on a confessioner goes, that's my go-to move. I got twins, I got two kids. I don't remember.

I'm tired, I'm stressed. I loved that. Yeah. I love that she all deck. Yeah, because we see this move all the time. Yeah. But at least she's acknowledging, like, yeah, I fucking remember. I just claim I don't remember.

Some people leave me alone. It works every time. It's an easy conversation to remember, too. Yeah. Because there wasn't a whole lot said in that furniture store. That was the main focus of that entire scene. So it's easy for Jessel to remember that. Yep.

And again, I still do think that it really wasn't that bad. I still think that Aaron probably made a joke. Oh, yeah. There was a little bit of stank on it, maybe, because it's Aaron. There's always a little bit of stank on the things that she says. It's dry. It's very. dry humor. But she feels like she's been somewhat wronged in some way, shape, or form.

It's always going to be a little bit of dry, a little bit of stank. It's always going to happen. So, yeah, I don't know, I don't know why Jess Levin needs to play that. She could just lean into saying, no, when Bryn said it, it sounded like it was a joke. And I said, doesn't it sound like a joke? Because she did say that. I know. So just leave it there. You don't have to go any deeper than that. Yeah. Especially with Jenna. Again, you don't have to do anything with Jenna. You can just say, yeah, I thought it was a joke. I didn't really think it was that big of a deal. Whatever. Yeah, if you just, I was going to move on. apologize to her.

Yeah. I hope she stands her ground at some point and, like, claps back at somebody, but we'll see. That's, that's her girlfriend's mom will do it. Maybe. I don't know, but it'll be interesting. What's your name, Nancy? Nancy.

Yeah, Nancy involved. But Bryn joins the convo, and I thought it was hysterical that when she walks up, and he goes, ugh. Like, you're in middle school. Ugh. Gross. And Bruce, like, did you just, ugh? He's like, yeah, I did.

They get into it. And it escalates very fast. And that is one thing with Aaron that you'll get is it tends to ramp up pretty quickly to the point where she's saying, I have integrity, I tell the truth, you don't do that. But arguably justified, because we've now gone from three different women, we went from Cy to Jenna, now to Aaron, all saying that she's talking shit, she's twisting words, she's changing up stories, and then she gets caught, does not back down. That is one of Brin's flaws is that when she's caught, she will double down, triple down.

I don't know if that's her actually. We know that a lot of housewives misremember things. I don't know if it's that. I don't think it's that. No, and it's a tough look when the one thing of all three of these things that we actually have footage for from the Jeff Lewis show is very plain and cut and dry. Erin did not say that you had a sugar daddy. But she did not say, I know, she keeps going back to the one thing that we can replay. the one thing that there's a ton of footage of

that we can dissect as much as we want there's nothing there. There is nothing there. Aaron didn't say anything and you can be mad at her for not going at Jeff Lewis and maybe Aaron will try to figure something out. That's, I guess, something. Aaron apologized. Yeah, exactly.

She didn't need to apologize. She didn't. I didn't think so. I'm watching it back. We've seen much worse things set on podcasts about people, insinuations, stuff like that. That really wasn't that. And this furthers my belief that

Brin likes to be in this middle ground of I like to cause some shit and I giggled myself out of it because she immediately tries to spin it again and goes well that one night it was so weird because you walked in between them and the vibe was off oh yeah well it was weird because you said fuck you Jessel and you're finding Nemo Dory lookalike husband when they cut to Povett that was brutal tell me he didn't look a little bit like Dory does yeah

That's okay. It's not a negative thing. He looks a sign profile. He looks kind of like Dory. That's fine. A very, very, very handsome Dory. Very handsome Dory with good food taste. Phenomenal food taste.

Strange methods of getting the food. You know, I'm not flying to Vietnam. Yep. But how long do you think Sye was sitting on that one though? Hmm. Because that's a really, that's a really good call. It's a deep pull. She must have figured that out at some point and then just like, I'm going to pull this.

out whenever I want. I don't know. I don't know, but it was good. It was good. Yeah. The face he was making in that exact moment. I was like, that's perfect. That really is Dorian. But again, not negative. Nope. But that's what she does. And Aaron, or sorry, sigh immediately was like, why do you do this? Because

we've already moved on. Jess and I are good. Yep. So now you're trying to throw us back into the trenches because you're caught. Yeah, because you think you're going to get out of hot water by doing this. No. Now that you're adding to your pile of shit. Because once again, this has been solved, you're trying to go back.

You're trying to change the narrative a little bit. They've already settled it. Your goal seemingly with all of these storylines or all of these things going on is to change the narrative, throw some shit around, stir some shit up, and then giggle your way out of it. I don't think the giggling's going to work. It's not going to work. And the problem that we're starting to see right now for Bryn specifically is by doing all

of these things, you're alienating yourself. As you said, she's on an island by herself right now. it's also showing that you're not with them all the time. You're not talking to anybody. So you're not privy to the information that Cy and Jessel have squashed this. You might be under... She knows. You think that she knows that they've been asked them from who?

I think that they probably hung out since then. And they probably were like, oh, yeah, like, we talked it out. I don't think Brin has. I think... Brin looked like she was going to use that against them thinking they're still at odds. She said, like, I haven't seen them in a while. She hasn't seen anybody in a while, yeah. Maybe you're right.

she was sitting on that one. Yeah. So I think that that's a really rough way to play this game. It's a really rough way to get through this show. If you're going to alienate yourself, you're not going to know what's going on with everybody else's relationships. So you have nothing to use against them

when you do get in the hot water. It does work. If you are knowledgeable of where everybody stands and what things are going on and you're a person who's a center character, you can deflect. You can deflect because people tell you stuff behind other people's backs.

That's how these shows work. If you're not in the sense, her anymore and you're not bubbly brin that everybody's just like oh it's brin i can say whatever i want to her you're not going to have that information to use at your disposal you're going to flounder and she is not good at floundering no god no she's awful she now she's on an island and she goes to thank god her brother's there because then you would you would legit have nobody to talk to this is where i just leaving your own party which you already are yeah but i just wrote down dudes dudes because it's so fucking funny on one side of like anytime those memes i see like

women think, like, we're out here cheating and it's like the boys and it's like dudes jumping off of roofs and stuff. It goes to the dudes. They're like, how long can you hold your breath? It's like, oh, I get like a minute. I don't either do that. Let's try it.

That's guys. Yeah. We're simple creatures. We are very simple creatures. We're going to stand there and hold our breath and stuff like that. Yeah. Just, I, that was a fun moment for me.

Yeah, that was a really good moment. And that made me excited for this group of husbands because we have been plagued recently. Oh, with really bad husband. husband play horrible they're trying to get way too involved this is what husbands do really well just show me a 30 second to 60 second clip of the dudes completely checked out of the drama doing something super innocuous it's like the old uh maricio and pk correct or back or it got weird in jersey when it would be the dudes like playing flip cup and doing stupid shit and then it would

Abe getting a confession on the gate. That's nerve-wracking. Curious how they're going to play it. But if that's a big storyline as Abe and Aaron this season, which it's going to be, because they introduced the first episode, I'm, I hope they handle it correctly as to how much involvement we need out of husbands. Yeah, I agree with that. He deserves to say his piece if we're going to go back and forth. Absolutely. I don't want it to become husband-centric. Yeah. Because that's not what this show is. And we've, like I said, been plagued with that.

We really have. The last few seasons of different shows. But anyway, but the last thing I want to say, and again, either she's playing the game way you're giving her a lot of credit or I'm giving her a lot of credit I don't know but for sigh to say because she checks out of the conversation she goes not today Satan and she stands up and says at one point we're going to have a one-on-one me and you Bryn we're going to do this but not today and then in her confessional she says when you yell you lose all credibility I'm mad at myself for getting amped up question for you before we get two questions yep did you see her yell nope I didn't either Not once. Not once, but she said she did, which means that she acknowledges she escalated slightly, even though she had the right to in that moment and still apologized for it and said, I need to be better. That is how I watch an episode one, not how you watch an episode one.

I watch and go, maybe, maybe, you go, ha ha, nope. Yep, uh-uh, fuck no, same person. Yeah. I feel good about it. I think you're going to be wrong. Ah, we'll see. I think you're going to be wrong. But let's get to some questions.

See what the people say. Yeah. First one up here from our buddy Ryan Stoneman. Oh, boys. Not about Tamara. Am I the only one who still finds Aaron and sigh to be a little unlikable? I don't think you're the only one. You're not the only one.

I think you got to, I will say meeting Aaron definitely, you understand the humor part of it more, the dryness to it. Yeah. That made more sense. And we both really like, we liked Aaron last year, too, though. But sigh, I did not like Sai last year. I liked Cy this episode. But to your question, Ryan, no, I think that there's probably a decent amount of people on your team. I don't think you're alone.

From Chandler Randler. I like that. Early predictions for who will have the most significant public opinion 180 from episode one until the end of the reunion. Hmm. The Jenna Lyons stand in me wants to say Jenna Lyons. Okay. Because, God, I want it. I want her to have like this come to Jesus moment where she's just like, oh, I get it now.

So you're saying like a positive spin. Yeah, to where she's been kind of like everyone, for the most part, saying we need more out of Jenna. Because the luster that is Jenna Lyons, the Jenna fucking lions from last year, did wear it a lot of people. Not for me, by any means. But I do understand where it comes from. I'm not blind to it. So I think the public opinion of her going from like, what is she doing here to,

oh, that's what she can bring to the show. It would be exciting to watch. My actual prediction of who may be able to pull that off is Sai based on this. Okay. I think Sai has a chance to turn it around. If this rings true that she's actually changing, just because her decline last season was so rapid and like after the second episode,

I was like, oh, wow, she sucks. Yeah. She has a chance simply because of how miserable she was last. year. So that's my actual prediction. What I want is the Jenna.

Yeah, that makes sense. I'm going to go with, I want to say Uber, but inside I feel like she's still not going to deliver a whole lot. She's awesome. She's great. She has so much potential. She does. I just don't think that she wants to, it's in a different way than Jenna.

I just don't think that she really wants to do a whole lot. Did you see the scenes from the season, though? Some of them, yeah. She seems to get really. It gets involved. Okay. I'm actually, I'm going to say that I would, going back to Ryan's question about Aaron, I feel like overall a lot of people do have a problem with Aaron.

I think by the end of this season, she's going to come into her own. Okay. So I'm going to say Aaron is my official answer. From Daria underscore PNG, did Brin's ego grow due to the show? I'm going to say yes. I think you can see that to where the heels moments. She's taken aback by reactions from people. I think that shows a little bit of it where she's like,

you're talking to me like that? Like, I'm Britain. You don't, I don't get talked to like that. I could see that, yeah. Yeah. Interesting take. Aaron underscore co underscore 321. Is everyone too dialed in slash course correcting this season?

It feels stiff and inauthentic. According to Shooter, they're all the same. So what show are you watching? Yeah, that's a good point. What do you think, Steele? Uh, I don't have an, here's, here it is, in a nutshell. The premiere, if we're seeing obvious signs of course correction, I'm okay with it. Because it's the premiere, it's their second season.

If we're still feeling that by episode three, where it's like, wow, you're very conscious of what you're trying to do on this show this season, that will bother me, you know me, that will bother me very quickly. And I'll quickly shift opinions as to how I feel about a lot of the characters. I don't mind it right now because they're clearly trying to set up their path for a storyline and they're not as nuanced yet is that like how to get there because it's their second season. So give it time.

If it's still obvious in episode three, yeah, that'll irritate me. Okay, I agree with that. I'm going to love this one and this is not my burner from Badger Reader. I don't think size has changed. Still mean and nasty thought. How about that?

Works out perfectly. All right, shooter. what's that what's that account name badger reader that's a that's a i don't know that's a palindrome for shooter somehow i know that a paladrome is the words yeah i was just i was reading it backwards while you did that yeah of course it was gonna say what it actually said backwards in it no i was going to say what it said out at backwards whatever uh you're like shoot no it doesn't from coco me me new york is it brin's flirty schick tired i am getting tired i am getting tired of it if she doesn't deliver another avenue to the show yeah i think that she again that goes

back to partly what you were saying she's like feeling herself this season and partly to her it's worked for her for so long she's not used to being on camera like this two seasons in a row and i don't think she's used to it not working right so i think that it's going to take a minute for that to run its course if it does ever but to answer your question yeah it's it's it's running tired all already because it's not we're not getting out of things now and now you don't really have a response your response is to leave the room your response is to say well that's what i heard even though everybody's telling you you're talking shit so yeah i think that it that'll get tired so again we'll see what she does with that agreed and one last thing here from jules mb2 would

would you watch a pavit version of diners drives in drive ends and dives because i would absolutely yeah thousand percent you'd have to call it uh oh Coming up something here? I got it. Just give me one second. All right. Don't bond me with Povett. Like, don't ban me.

Don't bond me. All right. You could have done way worse. I could have done worse. I was stuck. Well, here's the problem. Once I got Bond Me in my head, I couldn't think of anything else. I was stuck on Bonn Me.

That checks. One more try. One more try. Picnic with Povit. All right. Yeah, I like that better. Picnic with Povett. Picnic with Povett.

And he carries a little personal picnic table with him everywhere that he sits at. Okay. I'm into it. And it's Picnic with Povet. I love it. Yep. Cool. All right, well, that's all I got from questions.

Well, all in all, I think the overall sentiment between the both of us, regardless of our differing take somewhat, is that it was a solid premiere that wasn't the best. There is definitely room for improvement. They showed areas in which they could. definitely get on the right track and continue to get better. And there's also some pitfalls that we're going to be cautious of going forward. So, yeah, I think that's a good starting point. Perfect.

Yeah. Love it. Yeah. So you got anything else? Nope. All good here. Well, brav pros are out of here. Are you looking for a movie review show where the critic is at the top of his or her game,

meticulously breaking down and explaining exactly why a film does or does not work? Well, good luck with the search, because we're having fun here on Adam. does movies, I talked to you like we just got done seeing a movie together, giving you the pros and cons, and I'm digging in the trenches, in the mud and muck, on streaming services, telling you which films are worth your time. Each and every week, I hit the big blockbusters, I cover the streamers, and I even tossed in some movie news for fun, because this show is Adam does movies. I'm obviously Adam. I probably should have led with that, but perhaps I have led you to check out the show on Spotify, on Apple Podcasts, on YouTube.

And hopefully, we can do movies together. Hoo-hoo-hoo! Hot.
