Bros & Shows - R.I.P. RHONJ (RHONJ Full Recap)

Episode Date: August 1, 2024

What's up bros? It's Jersey time and this was a rough episode... Featuring the husbands more than the wives, it was an interesting direction to go in to say the least. Teresa gets the ladies together with her 'attorney' to discuss some 'bombshells' about Marge's involvement in Louie's case. Spoiler alert, its not a bombshell. At all. Marge is upset at some of the women in the group for participating in Teresa's little meeting. The airbnb for Dolo's retreat burned to the ground (apparently it was just the garage or something) and the ladies all see it as an omen that they are not meant to take that trip together. Then we spend 10 minutes plus on the husbands having steak parties. Fuda wears pajamas in an attempt to have a moment, Louie has the guys at his party record confessionals in his "man cave" which is a recording studio? Fuda has an allergic reaction to bone marrow? What the hell are we doing here everyone? Seriously? what a strange, strange place this show has gotten to... All that AND MORE! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is an eight-episode Hulu Original Limited series that blends gripping pacing with emotional complexity, offering a dramatized look

as it revisits the wrongful conviction of Amanda Knox for the tragic murder of Meredith Kircher and the relentless media storm that followed. The twisted tale of Amanda Knox is now streaming only on Disney Plus. 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. Brav Bros. Three, two, one. Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of Brav Bros, your favorite podcast from the Bros for everybody. am your co-host, Steele Russell, joined as always by the one and only, The Inevitable Magoutes.

What's up, dude? I feel like that would be like my UFC name or something. The Inevitable. The Inevitable The Inevitable Mgoots. It's actually pretty solid. That's not bad, actually. Yeah, I mean, look, we're here. We have to talk about this stupid show. Oh, God.

This is, honestly, after watching this episode, this is probably the worst place that. that we've ever been in podcasting-wise for a single TV show. O.C. was bad last year. This is now taking the cake. O.C. was bad subjectively. We didn't like O.C. A lot of people that watched last season enjoyed it and said that they enjoyed it. So that's different. This show is collectively bad. People on social media before I even watched it, and that's never good. I should never look at Jersey stuff before I watch it. Because I already struggle through it. And every post immediately after the episode,

was like this is the worst housewives episode I've ever seen this is terrible please get rid of this show and I'm like oh great so I already hate this show and I have to go into this episode you text to me the same thing you're like yeah apparently it's a complete shit show like in a good way and then immediately thought to myself it's definitely not in a good way the way that this season's been going no but what we did get as a result of this I guess Andy was on radio Andy or something along those lines and somebody called in and said hey what the fuck's going on pretty much yeah what the fuck is going on this sucks what are you subjecting us to because i can't take it anymore nobody can and he said that we can expect a reboot with more than likely fresh faces so it looks like they're going the route of roney we're getting a new jersey no pun is that even a pun yeah it's a new new jersey is that pun that's a pun i don't know if that counts as a pun just clever wordplay just a little clever wordplay for you well This is going to be a tough. How the state was made.

Yeah. It's like defectors from England. We're going to make a New Jersey. Wait a minute. That's a great idea. Why are the Australian? I don't know. But let's make it New Jersey.

I guess it'd be more British, huh? I would assume so, yeah. Oh, Pip, Pipp, Cheerio. I've got a grand idea. There you go. How about we call it New Jersey? It's like Jersey, but it's new. There you go.

Better? Yep. Well, should I be like, those guys? Nope. That's Australian again. Yep. What was I trying to do?

I was trying to do. I was trying to go Cochney, I think. Yeah, right, Michael Kaye. I will call New Jersey. There you go. How about that? That's better. Bruce.

He worked through the Bruce. Bruce Weinstein? No. No. It's the King of New Jersey. I thought maybe they were talking to Bruce. Here, because we have to fill time because there's not a whole lot to talk about this episode.

A little Cockney lesson for those of you out there. If you want to say Michael Kane's name in Cockney, just say my and then say cocaine my cocaine there you go yep that's a cockney lesson for you yeah anyway don't forget about lambogini's but uh we are here to talk about this disaster of a show and we don't root for shows to be bad despite what some people may think when we recap some specific franchises when we go into every episode we actually are looking for silver linings believe it or not even with jersey we are looking for ways for this show to rally or to find a different direction

and hopefully turn itself around. It's just simply not there. And I think that then we'll talk about it more when we get into it. I think Dolores knows the writing on the wall. I think that her entire idea for this cast trip, whether it was producers in her ear that were like, hey, let's try to do this.

Or if she just came up with the idea for a girl's trip, like, hey, let's try to make it a peaceful retreat to try a last ditch effort to bring everybody together. And that's exactly what she says. and I think that Dolo's been around for long enough. I think she understands how the show works. I think she understands how Bravo works. I think she's looking around at the big picture and going,

ladies, we're kind of fucked if we don't get this together. And all of you need to put your shit aside and figure out how to find some semblance of peace for us to be able to move forward and keep our jobs. Because at this rate, none of us are going to come back. Nobody likes this show. Nobody likes each other. No one's going to continue to watch fabricated made-up bullshit. Everyone pointing the finger.

He said, she said, bringing an outside. side sources to corroborate nonsense and that's what this show's turned into who can come up with the most damning storyline to take somebody's family down how can you corroborate it with idiots on the side that look like caricatures might i add and that's the direction that this show's gone in and then you get all of this toxic fan base rally behind it on social media that bullies anybody that has a differing opinion out of it so people that try to talk about this show get bullied off of socials people on the show that try to do anything new get hammered down by the same old bullshit.

That is a recipe for disaster, and that is exactly what we've watched throughout this season. It was starting to happen last year. It's the nail in the coffin. This show fucked itself. Yeah, for sure. It's reached a new peak of us not even really groaning while we're watching it. I honestly, I don't think that my facial expression changed the entire time I was watching that

episode. Oh, no. I was more, like, I never, ever look at my phone during an episode than I'm watching for anything that we do because I have to take notes. I like to be very thorough to keep us pointed. And believe it or not, you might think that the notebook's a joke are like a funny thing.

I take it really seriously because it does keep us like on track. This is one of the few times. I was like on my phone and I looked up and like, did I miss anything? And it's all the guys. I'm like, nope, probably not. Definitely not.

And just went back to my phone. I was like, this is the dumbest shit ever. And that's the funniest thing too is obviously the way that we have to watch these shows for you and I because we need to regurgitate information and have opinions on things.

If we were just putting this in a nutshell, which we do enjoy Bravo, especially some of the shows that we don't actually cover. We can throw them on. There's certain shows that you can scroll through. You're just sitting on your phone. You're just having a little bit of downtime. Below deck.

Letting the stress kind of, yeah, below deck, perfect. Have it on in the background. Check in every once in a while, laugh a little bit, back to the phone. The fact that we're doing this now, looking at our phone storing this show, shows you that we can't even put this on as one of those shows anymore. I wouldn't even look at this and say, yeah, I'm going to throw jersey on in the background while I'm cooking or cleaning

or sitting on the couch trying to decompress. I just don't care. No. Like, nothing happens. And even when things do happen, I'm just not emotionally invested in any of it. So I just don't care. It just doesn't hit, like, I don't know.

And like some of the women are trying, quote unquote, I guess, but it just doesn't matter. Nothing matters. Nothing matters. Nothing matters. Nothing matters. In New Jersey, nothing matters. Look, it truly doesn't. Put it this way.

We are currently recapping OC, which is. having a fantastic start to their season. We're hoping it continues in that direction. But the first two episodes have been great. Thoroughly enjoyed them. And you're looking for moments, you know, i.e. Alexis bringing this new dog in, and you're like, holy shit, that's archie.

It's just like these little moments where you're like, oh, man, and it hits and it lands. You're like, fuck, yeah, that's entertaining. It's funny. It's a ridiculous notion. You just adopted a dog that looks exactly like your boyfriend's ex's dog. That's crazy.

Fun times. Flash over to John. Jersey, it's like, we're going to watch the dudes eat steak and John Fuda have an allergic reaction. That's what, that, that's what happened. I need to remind everybody listening. And you, shooter, 10 minutes of a 40-minute episode was the men talking about nothing, having allergic reactions, and doing devotionals.

That is what we watch. Yeah, dude. And then we watched a scene. I think maybe the only thing that maybe got a slagic. light eyebrow raise for me the entire episode was the devotional. But even then, I'm not really surprised. I was more surprised that somebody like Bill was like into it. But who

knows? He was probably high as balls. He was so stoned and he was like, ooh, a microphone, Jenny. What's a reverb on that? Give me some auto tune. And Polly's like petrified that that's ever going to get back to Dolores. Who knows what he actually said and like the whole thing? It's just so funny.

Like, I don't care. It's just, none of this matters anymore. We're not going anywhere. We're in the same place that we were when we started. And I honestly, I think the best way to put this is housewife seasons are full of iconic moments. Sure. You ask anybody, they can pinpoint a certain season that they liked the most. And then you'll have four or five different quotes or moments that they can quote immediately.

What's anybody going to remember about Jersey this season or last season or the season before? The end of it. Nothing. You're going to remember it, but you're not going to say, oh, yeah, that's the season where this happens. It's like, what am I going to say? That's the season where John Fuda found out that he was allergic to bone marrow. Oh, boy. That's this season.

What are his bones full of? I don't know how that works. Does he not have bone marrow? Is he not allergic to himself? I don't get it. I don't know. Maybe, look. That's the kind of conversation that we have to have.

Well, because nothing else is fucking going on. I need to ask you how it works for John Fuda to be allergic to bone marrow, but not his own bone marrow. I honestly. And we're going to get, like, people commenting. People are going to send his DMs and be like, this is the breakdown on it. And that means that they have. have so much time on their hands to cover that that they don't even care about Jersey.

I want anybody to chime in. You can send us a message. You can tag us on Twitter. I don't care. If you are enjoying the season. Oh, I think you're going to say about the bone marrow. No, no, no. I think I have... I was going to say I'm not going to read it. I have theories on the bone marrow, actually.

And that's where my brain had to go. You're right, because we have to talk about that eventually. I have a call to our audience. If you actually enjoyed this season and not because you're a ride-or-dye jersey fan, I'm just going to like this show no matter what. You have to have actual reasons why it's been enjoyable. We won't come after you.

I'm not going to fan you on the next episode. I just am very curious a take from somebody that actually liked this season and thinks that it's going well. That would be really interesting to me. So we can boo you. No, I mean, we might boo you a little bit, but not on air. Yeah, not on air. Not on air. And I won't say anything snarky back.

I'll actually say thank you for giving you. us your rundown but i'm just curious i want to know what's entertaining about this show because i've lost all interest and that's sad because i love jersey i thought this show and i think again it comes back to being physically close to the state of new jersey for the majority of my life it's more relatable so i wanted to see it and this is what it's come to we'll be all in on the reboot we were all in on the roney reboot we wanted to give it the best chance that it had we were in on that when people are still trying to talk shit because it's not the oh geez that's what's going to be the hardest part if they do reboot this all the way is getting through that bullshit again yeah but

it's not teresa it's not marge we know and it doesn't really matter though because i i would even ask the people that are going to be commenting on this what what point do you have to make about why the person that you're cheering for is having a good season anyway that's a gorease is a shell of herself like i know if you're a huge tree fan you can't enjoy watching her like this. She's not fun. She looks like she's on the verge of a mental breakdown. Why is that enjoyable? It's not. You can back her all you want and say Marge is a terrible person, but what are you

really going to do? You can't do anything about it because Teresa doesn't know you in the first place, but she's also just not enjoyable and clearly not herself anymore. Marge is when she's on screen, she's just vindictive, but she doesn't really do anything. She still tries to have that moment with the flowers. But even Marge, like the Marge of old, was snarky and had good comebacks and she was fucking insane. but she's not doing any of that this year

if you're a Melissa fan she's not even on the screen anymore so like what are you cheering for anymore what's the point in watching this if the person that you're standing that you need to go on Twitter and fight for isn't doing anything in the show anymore they're not even themselves so it's just not enjoyable

for anybody I would imagine and that's also why we didn't dive deep into the John Fuda allegations that came out in the paper from like 20 fucking years ago because simply who cares and somebody's like he missed the point it's because he lied about it oh okay Oh, sick.

Who cares? Did that have ramifications in the show? No, not at all. People aren't going to talk to each other anyway. That's my whole point. And that's Shooter's point. And that's what we're trying to say. And no, we're not bashing you if you're a Jersey fan.

But it is genuine curiosity. Like, that's a great way to put it. You know what? If you're a Jersey fan, go catch up on Miami and then, you know, when the new season comes out, we'll talk about it. Do that. Because Miami's phenomenal. And I can't wait for Miami to come back. And to answer your question, no, this season will be remembered for the wreath that March sent.

That was a funny. That was funny. The only good moment in this season, honestly, and that was a baller move. So without further ado, don't worry. Just because I looked at my phone during the dude's scenes, I did write everything down as normal. We do have things to talk about. We will break it down like we always do. We take our job seriously.

Some people on that show might not, but we do, God damn it. We do. We're journalists at the end of the day. We really are. We have credibility. Do we? Yeah. Totally did.

Yeah, totally, dude. That's always a good response. We have credibility? Totally, dude. Okay, anywho, we start out with boners. That's at Danielle's house. But moving on quickly from there, we get to the Fudas. We get to check in.

I'll always shout out nice moments. Giuliana got her tongue-tie procedure done, and she is progressing very well. It's nice to see. Good for the Fudas. Great. All happy. It is. Happy.

Yeah. No, happy. Yeah. But not a whole lot to talk about there. So let's get to Jan 8. and she's recapping the pajama party and the milking of the prostate. I do believe she doesn't know what that means. She still does think cranking it.

Yeah, that's what she means. She's talking about a good old fashioned. Yeah. Yeah. That's, I don't think we need to break it down. Hopefully most people know what it is. Google it. Google it if you don't.

Keep your safe search on. I'm sure Twitter will probably work with that one. Yeah, there you go on Twitter and just search. Oh, no. Fuck up your entire algorithm. Yeah. you know what don't search it you don't have to search it just make up your own definition of what you think it means if you don't know what it means but um we get the layout for what's going on later

and it's like the group text to the dudes and you've got two different dude parties going on it's interesting that jen decides to call Nate a bitch boy and as we know that was what jo gorga was labeled years ago was the bitch boy so bitch boy's coming back but she's talking about the retreat and saying If Danielle comes up to me first and is the bigger person finally, then I'll be able to move on from it, taking zero accountability in what happened, which is really frustrating to what we've seen all season.

And I guess, because we're going to have to work our way through this a little bit, my question to you is, had they gone on this retreat, which it doesn't seem like they're going to because the house, quote, unquote, burned down, which didn't actually happen, the garage on the property burned down. But regardless, do you think there would have been any semblance of, those two being able to reconnect, would that have been a moment where

Jen is able to turn on Teresa? Like, what's going to happen between her and Danielle? And hold on, before we do that, that's the other hard part about talking about this. One, we know they're rebooting, and two, we know there's no reunion. So, again, we talked about this last week. It takes the carrying out of it a lot. Yeah, I mean, Jen Aidan came out in the press this week and even said that it was pleasant sitting there and watching.

Or I don't know if they've done it. I guess they did it already. I'm going to imagine it's done. I'm trying to remember what. the vernacular was that she used because I guess they already watched it and they did it like a screener up front. So she responded by saying it was pleasant watching the finale like that. Pleasant

for fucking who. For the people involved, I suppose. You usually are at each other's necks and you've got these binders and everything. It was just nice to just show up at a restaurant and have some food and watch. Sure. Okay, great. Get off the screen. I don't care anymore. But yeah, I guess hypothetically speaking, if they went on this retreat, sure I could see Danielle and Jen getting back together because we have at least seen Jen open to hearing other people talk so maybe Danielle would come in and just say hey

you know let's not talk about it anymore and Jen would say okay sounds good make a weird joke and then move on yeah do I care no it just doesn't matter it doesn't matter but we move on to Fessler and Dolo and this is what I was talking about before we started the episode I think it's really funny did you notice what she was saved in the phone as what, Jen Siggie's friend, not Jen Fessler, Jen Sigi friend is what she was named in the phone, but this whole retreat is a Hail Mary from Dolores and maybe from production, I'm not sure who was involved. Well, they needed a vacation or some sort of trip in the show anyway, so I guess this worked.

We needed a trip, so this is the trip. And the way that she's talking, to me, she sees the writing on the wall, genuinely. She's like, if this does not work, I don't know where we go. from here. And she says this is a last ditch effort. And she also pretty much says, like, it's not going to work. Like, I've got activities planned throughout the entire day just to keep people busy to avoid any kind of altercation that's going to transpire.

None of this is going to work. This is a disaster waiting to happen. But here's my last hope for this group to be able to come together and have a gumbaya moment. A little gumbaya. Which was funny. Yeah, that is funny. And I like the Fessler's response was, he's a ten.

Italians, got to just let them say whatever the hell they want. She just kept saying gumba, y'all. I just kept thinking about the gumbas for Mario. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Which one? The live action one with John Leggizamo. Yes, actually.

The 1994, yeah. Tiny heads. The one that I always think of, by the way. I don't think about the new one with Chris Pratt. I don't think about the video games. I think about the movie from 1994. And what's the guy's name? Oh, damn it.

I just had it. It doesn't matter. But, uh, fuck. Oh, this is it, the day you finally ask for that big promotion. You're in front of your mirror with your Starbucks coffee. Be confident, assertive, remember eye contact, but also remember to blink. Smile, but not too much, that's weird. What if you aren't any good at your job?

What if they dim out you instead? Okay, don't be silly. You're smart, you're driven, you're going to be late if you keep talking to the mirror. This promotion is yours. Go get him. Starbucks, it's never just coffee. This episode is brought to you by Mewmew. Introducing Mutein, the new feminine fragrance by the iconic fashion house.

Bob Hoskins, apparently was so drunk the entire filming of that movie. It was a disaster trying to get them on set. That's what you're going to get this episode. Tidbits about bad movies from the 90s. God, that's a great movie, though. It's a great. It's a really good bad movie if you haven't seen it. But anyway, we move on to Fessler and Marge and we get more on Joe and everything coming back is like right down the middle, which is kind of scary. You know, I guess in the one scan, you're either a zero or a one and that's don't worry about it or you're a four or five and that's, oh shit. Testicular, sorry, prostate cancer, and he's a three.

So they're a big question mark. He needs an MRI. Hopefully he gets it soon. We haven't heard in real time whether or not he's cancer free. Yeah, I haven't heard anything from socials or really anything else. So probably playing it a little close to the chest, maybe still just getting some test done and figuring it out. So we'll hold out some hope for that one.

Yep, T's and P's for Joe B. Tees and P's for Joey B. But yeah, it's interesting to see this side of Marge, I guess. The sentimental side. Going through this, like, you can tell she's going through it. There's a lot of stuff that she has to process. And again, her ex just passed away a little while ago. So she's having a tough time.

And Joe's keeping good faith, which is good to see. He's been pretty consistent for us. catches a lot of shit from from fans of this show and I've never really understood it like he's the most normal because he's like basically Marge's like little bitch boy yeah I guess as far as like you know just being a normal ish dude like he doesn't do a whole lot he seems like a very normal guy yeah so I've never I actually I had a funny thought during this and I'm just going to jump a little bit to when they're talking about everybody showing up at Joe's for the party, at Joe Gorgas for the party, they mentioned very quickly that Evan wasn't going to be there because his kids had some games going on. And I'm like, that's like every dad in the world. And I never realized that they just don't do this on these shows.

Oh, it's like when is it ever? Oh, yeah, Joe Gorga can't come tonight because Antonia has a game tonight or has some sort of competition tonight and he's not going to be able to make it. Did they not go to their kids things? That's a good point. Because they're filming for the show. That's a good point. But they are contractually obligated to.

a certain extent, I would have imagined being full-time, especially, and also, let's not get it twisted. You know, Joe, Gorga wants to be on camera. You know the other dudes want to be on camera. Fudo wants the, wasn't Gorga getting in fights and stuff for his son's, like, wrestling tournament, too? He did, dude, he, like, hollered at the ref. He's not allowed to go to those things anymore.

He's probably banned. Yeah, he's not allowed to go. The high school banned him. Yeah, you can't come to any more matches, Mr. Gorga. It's getting embarrassing. But I think that's probably what it is. And look, we haven't seen Nate all season. He doesn't want to be on, or sorry, Evan.

He doesn't want to be on the show. Barely seen Nate for that matter. Barely seen Jackie for that matter. And this is, you know what? Well, Jackie's not a full time, so I don't give a shit and she sucks. But the husband shouldn't be on this show to begin with. Like, enough. Go to your kids' events say that your wives can go film.

This is their job, not yours. We used to like those scenes because the show was centered around the housewives. It was cute for a season or two. Yeah. And then it's like, whatever. Now we're getting. Now it's too much. 10-minute segments of only husbands.

Only husbands should not be a thing. Okay. I said it intentionally. Okay. That doesn't seem like it should be a thing. No, that's my point. I don't want that to be a thing. That is, you see, you see what I did? Only husbands should not be a thing.

Take that however you'd like. I'm not going deeper on that one. You don't need to. I think everyone gets it. Real bad. No, no, I don't think you understand where I was going. Oh. Because like if it's...

I think what are the husbands has an only fans? No, so it's only fans. so only husbands would be just husbands being on there looking at things. Oh, yeah, see, yeah, that's all right. I would. I was saying that the models would be. The models would be husbands. Yeah, correct. But the models are not only fans. The fans represent the people that are on their paying. So it would be only husbands on their paying. So, yeah, it's just, you know, they didn't want to do it. You did it, though. You asked me. I didn't really.

I just got to. Maybe I jumped the gun a little bit. What do you want me to do? Let's get back on track here. With Fessler and Marge and the Joe B talk about the biopsy and all that, but Fessler is relaying to Marge what this setup is going to be at Teresa's later. And she says, I got a snitch move by Fessler. Fessler's been a snitch all season. Yeah, but like it started, the season started and it ended last year with her believing everything that people told her. Yes.

Now she's just snitching. She's a snitch. You know what you need to do, Fessler. You tell Marge after the fact. You go see the information for yourself. see what happens. And then if you deem it to be ridiculous and funny and terrible, then you go back to Marge and say,

this is what happens. That would be the correct. You don't sit down because you know what Marge is going to do. She's going to try to bully everybody and they're not going. I don't think she did know that. I think that Fessler doesn't know that stuff because that was the funniest part of the conversation. She lists who's invited to this event. And Marge, understandably so.

And no, we're not Marge stands here by any means. She's an evil, evil person. but anybody in her shoes would get upset at anybody that she is friends with going to this, it's more or less a roast with an attorney. Also, are we calling Danielle Bougy now? That's her nickname? I thought that was a dig. I thought it was a dig, but then I didn't.

And if it's not, that's kind of embarrassing. I'm a pretty embarrassing nickname. I mean, I don't know. That's tough. I guess if that's what you want to focus on or no. Dude, yeah. Dude, yes. Totally, dude.

More than anything. More than this TV show. I want to focus on embarrassing things. Okay. Yes, maybe that's her nickname. Maybe that's just how people say it, but they don't say it to her face kind of deal. That's what I would imagine.

It's got like a slight condescending. No matter how you look at it, it's rough. Yeah, I agree with you. But the best part of this whole thing, she calls Dolores and she's like, this is so ridiculous. I can't believe anybody would show up, blah, blah, blah. she calls Danielle says the same thing

and she's like, well, I can't let my omla get cold. Like, I got to go. Only now does Fessler go, you know, it didn't sound as bad when she brought it up. The more you're talking about it, this is a pretty bad look. I'm going to take, don't worry, Marge.

I'm going to take care of this whole thing. I'm going to text her right now and bow out. When this was presented to you, Fessler, at no point where you're like, oh, this is kind of fucked. Yeah. You're going to sit down with an attorney who's going to give us inside information, quote-unquote.

He doesn't, by the way. Inside information about this case that's going to damnify Marge, my close friend, I'm going to go to this willingly at Teresa's house, your sworn enemy. Now that I say it out loud, I get why you're kind of upset. Yeah, you just don't say anything up front. Just say I wanted to go see what it was all about so I could report that. That's it. That's all you have to say.

As a good friend. Yeah. Whatever. Yeah, I don't know. And also, Fessler has just really fallen apart. for me. She was fun last year. She's so wishy-washy now. Like last week, she sat down with Dolores and Dolores got her to text

Rachel and say that she was going to go to her sleep over within like 30 seconds. I don't mind that. I think a stand pat. Well, yeah, to an extent, sure. But like make a decision for yourself. I think where she, not bothers me, but where she's fallen off for me is, it

appears to me like the things that she's doing the way she's moving and she's trying to figure out how to be a housewife or how she wants to be a housewife and she's doing five different avenues and none of them are working. She's just trying to be everybody's friend. I think she's getting rattled by people reacting to things that she's doing by hanging out with other people.

She's like, how do I navigate this? I just have to be nice to everybody and just bow my head. Maybe that's it. Yeah. I think that's probably it. Boring. Yeah. We move on to dudes night and ludes night.

Talk about boring. This is the worst. This is the worst moment in Housewives history. We got the dudes are the Gorga crew and the ludes are Louis. and his crew. And for no other reason, then Lou is easy to fit into dude. So you got the ludes and the dudes. Yep. All right. We good? Everyone know where we're at right now? Because the dudes are Joe Gorga, Joey B, Thuda, and Fessler, and Frank. And Fuda thought he had a moment by strolling up in pajamas and goes, I'm doing this so you can feel safe. You get it? We all get it.

It's not that funny. It doesn't really land. You're just wearing PJs, now, ha-ha, call back to Louis, being crazy and wearing PJs last year. Yes, that was insane. This isn't like a fuck-you moment the way you thought it was by any means. Not when a husband does it. Exactly. It's not funny. It's just like the husbands are trying to do these iconic moments that you would call back to and say,

wow, that was really funny that she did that in season six. It would be funny. No one's going to remember that the husband did it. Nobody cares. It would be funny if they were all going to a party together. Yeah. And Louis was there. Yes. And he walks in with Rachel wearing pajamas but doesn't say anything about it. Just wear them.

These guys aren't funny. That's the problem. Yeah, you're probably right. There's no comedy involved in that. You're right. But on the lewd side, they're setting up for the evening. And I just got to point it out because we haven't gotten a lot of them on our screen this year. He, he being Louis, is so goddamn performative. If you watch these scenes where he's talking to the caterers or the people in the room. and you actually buy that he's that emphatic about everything. Oh, my God. Oh, look who's in here. Oh, it's Gio. Woo, whoop, who, who. Oh, I love everybody so much.

Baby, you look great. The food looks awesome. This is such a great job. Like, everything he does is the absolute most. And if you need a comp, a comp role, bull, a comp. A comp. If you need a comp, this shows rotted my brain. If you need a comp, look at Ryan on the O.C.

The O.C. On Roece. Look at Ryan on Rouse. He does the same exact thing. Every time he's on the screen, everything is happy, and he says the right thing, and he's trying to paint a picture that he's this great stand-up guy.

I don't know who's falling for it, and if you've listened to our episodes this season, we do not have a favorite on this show. We don't really like anybody. So we're not trying to just go after Teresa. They all suck. They all suck. But if you cannot see through this guy,

I can't help you. And people that defend him, I don't fucking understand it. Like, just watching him in that kitchen, in that moment, I'm like, this guy's fake as shit. He's fake as shit, but he's also so unhinged. He seems like he's on the... He's talking about

or just like, they're so out there. He just, he... I guarantee one, he's a very serious conspiracy theorist. And a very avid, avid Joe Rogan listener. Oh, yeah. Don't get me wrong. There's some great Rogan episodes out there. I've listened to plenty. I don't listen

religiously by any means, and there's also some crazy ones, and I'm like, that's just ridiculous. He takes them all at gospel. Yeah. And they go on. He has his own notebook that he writes down about it. About Rogan. Yeah, but doesn't talk to anybody.

Oh, no, no, no. Although he's got a fucking podcast studio. Is that where Teresa does her podcast, I guess? I don't, I don't know, but that was bizarre. Creepy. That was wild. Real creepy. Crazy?

What does he do that? I don't know. I thought the same thing. What the fuck is this room? Because I didn't realize there was a podcast studio in the beginning. He goes, this is the man cave. This is the cave for men. What is he?

Look, I don't know, and I don't care enough. But him and his son both had a shirt on. that matched. Oh, they did? Yeah. I don't like that either. No, but it was like sort of how Teresa is always

wearing the Namaste bitches shirts. It looked like it could have potentially been a podcast. Maybe it's him and his son talking about shit. I truly don't care enough to go look it up. Wait, they're both,

he's Louis Jr., right? Yep. The podcast has to be called Like, it takes two, Lou. Skip to my Lou. Skip to my Lou. What else could it be? Louis Squibreux.

Weird. What? If Teresa gets involved, Treludes? Treludes is not bad. That's pretty good. What else? There's got to be one more good one.

There's got to be a low-hanging food somewhere. Oh. And then you got a theme song, too. Louis-Louis. Louie, Louie. You're welcome, Louis. If that's your fucking theme song and that's the podcast. We know where you got it from.

All right. So you can take that one. You're welcome, pal. Copyright free. Anyway. Teresa walks in and Louis' dad is there and she starts laying out what's going to happen with fucking my cousin Vinulator. And she's like, look, I'm just laying out all the facts and the court ruled in Louis' favor. And this woman that I thought I was friends with.

When? In regards to Marge. I don't fucking know what. years ago? Yeah, maybe. Did you even know who Louis was 10 years ago? No. But that's my whole point to anybody that rides and dies for any individual on this show. And you point to a moment where it's like she's lying right now on TV. There's no other way to look at it. This is a lie and they still defend them. I don't get it. I don't understand how you can have the wool pulled over your eyes like that. She just said to Louis's dad, this person I thought I was a friend

with. No, you don't. You have actively been trying to ruin her life and her yours for the past at least three, four years. So that's simply not true. So it just, it hurts my brain when I then have to think about the fan base around this and be like, how the fuck is that defensible? Because it's simply not. It's not. It's not. Tis not. But we get back to the dudes, which is the Gorga crew, and Marge calls Joe and explains what's going on with Teresa, which is the worst because of this. And this is when it all landed how shitty this setup was for this episode. This is a moment that we normally get with housewives where the husband calls or a friend calls and you watch the reactions of the housewives in the room and then they discuss it after the fact.

That is a classic housewives setup. Phone call, let's discuss. We are now doing that with the housewife calling the husbands and the husband's. husbands dissecting what went down. That is awful. Yep. What happened in the production meeting where they're like, this is good?

Let's do this. This seems like a great idea. Everybody's going to love husbands, husbands, husbands, but we're going to make them the housewives for an episode. Oh! Nothing to do with them. Wait a minute. What? I think I just had

an epiphany. It's not a good one, so settled out. but I didn't sound that excited that was the joke I was being a is it good I think it might have some some merit so I think

it's not good but I think that it has some merit yeah relax that's why I said relax maybe they understand where this show's going the direction it's headed in so they're trying Hail Mary's left and right

the retreat with all the women and maybe they said the house burned down when the garage actually burned down it's like this isn't going to work they're going to kill each other so maybe in these last couple episodes are like what if what if they want to see more of the husbands what if this does weirdly work let's put them on because we don't have anything to talk about with the women because

they're not talking to each other so let's make a husband's episode and see what the reaction is engage that because maybe that's something that we can use next season with this same cast to see how it goes thoughts could be their choice i don't know no i'm just that's all i'm saying yeah i mean i could see them throwing hell mary's sure i i have no fucking idea I just don't think that this has anything to do with them and the fact that Marge is calling Joe to dissect why Teresa wants to hang out with their wives, but then you look around the room

and none of the wives are going. So it doesn't impact them at all. It only impacts Marge. So why do they care? It's just a moment for them to talk shit on Teresa and for Joey to start talking about his family again. It's like, it just don't, it doesn't do anything. No, it doesn't.

And it just sets up again, we have Joe talking about, the same thing we've heard about. This guy comes into my family. He comes into my family. He ruins my family. And I'm like, what the fuck? Fuck, this guy, you ruin my family. And I'm all about family.

Because I love fast and nefarious. And Vin Diesel is my spirit animal. Yeah, not a Corona in sight. Yeah, you need to at least have a Corona. Lean into it. Yeah, that would actually be kind of funny. I would respect if he just leaned full on. He were beaters and only had Corona.

And just was full of Vin Diesel and shaved his head entirely. Like, Basically. No, no, I know, but like the Vin Diesel, clean, like, shiny head. He doesn't really have much of a choice, but yeah. No, but he's not full-on diesel. Okay. I need him to be full-on diesel.

Diesel. Dominic Torretto, Gorga. Okay. That would be more fun. His son's name's Dominic. Ooh. Hey, oh. Dom Jr. Dom Jr.

Dom Jr. And then Dom Jr. pulls up in a black charger with the engine sticking out the front all crazy and says dad this is for the family yep and then he does something wacky that's a good movie we're going with this that's what this shows turned into are you guys enjoying this recap because i am but paulie i got a call out because i look at these sweaters often oh often and i always think man i could pull that off but without fail they always look like foreskin and it's the sweater you know what i'm talking about and it always looks like a good idea it's always like that's kind of classy it's casual it's kind of cool

I think the only person I've seen pull it off is one of the Hemsworths yeah which makes sense yeah if somebody's gonna be able to do it one of those guys I think it was even Chris Hemsworth so if Thor can do it most of us cannot so it's it's a four skin sweater is what it is more or less so I just needed to call that one out and see if you share the same sentiment I don't even look at Polly style it's just it was only the sweater this is just where we're going

with this. It was only the sweater, yeah. I know. It's the sweater. You've got to point out the sweater. Um, I'm not going to lie. I have, I could not tell you one thing that Polly has worn. He wears a lot of black t-shirts. Yeah, so that's probably, yeah. A big time black t-shirt. Jersey. It's a jersey thing. It's a jersey thing. But he wore that. I just needed to call that out. It always seems like a good idea. I've looked at those many times. I've never pulled the trigger and I'm glad I didn't. But, uh, we get back to the ludes. And, uh, this is immediately following the bills and a cult comment, which is It was funny because flash over to the ludes and this is, this is my man cave.

And it's a sound booth. And the first thought I had when he said this in my man cave, I'm like, what the fuck is this room? Where are the TVs? It's sound padded on the walls. Where's the bar? Yeah. What do you mean? It's a man cave.

This is a recording studio and a dartboard. That's a man cave. That's a man cave. This is a recording studio. Yeah. That I'm not sure if Teresa uses it. And that St. Polly Girl sign that everybody has.

Yeah. Remember that? Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about. That's an every man. cave in the United States. It's actually, you're not allowed to call it a man cave. Without that. Without the St. Polly Girl. One LED sign. One LED sign. You get to have a little creative freedom on that, though. You can choose whatever beer you want. It's either beer or sports team. Or you do full circle and you get like the Miller Light from Philly. So it's like

the Eagles logo with the Miller right under it, something like that. Wow, we really are digging deep. Yeah, we're trying. We're trying our hardest. But during this whole scene, I literally wrote down what the fuck because he's like here's what we're going to do guys because our ladies are going on a trip so we're going to do something really nice for them and I came with this great idea

it's off the cuff I just came up with it today I didn't plan this for weeks and weeks and weeks I didn't have this podcast studio built for this I didn't have this built yesterday so we could do this but we're going to do devotionals to our wives and let them know how much we love them because this is something I do all the time

because this is a normal thing for me to do and I'm not a psycho and I'm totally normal Don't worry, guys. While the contractors were in here building the entire thing, I made sure that they had water and that I just kept asking them if they needed any help. Yeah, they'll hold that.

I helped the entire time. Actually, I built this. You know what? I fired them because I felt bad if I still paid them, and I built it myself blindfolded. Yeah. Using only materials that I farmed from the backyard. Yep.

Anyway, they do this devotional thing, and he's like, I didn't even rehearse that. And the shit he says, it's like, yeah, okay, look, is it a nice thing to say, to your wife to send them with a devotional video, sure. When the fuck were they going to listen to it? When they're on the trip? When?

They're going to be at each other's necks the entire time. You think they're just going to stow away and listen to their husbands say how much they love them? Maybe they would put it on the screen. I don't know. I don't need to hear your voice. Listen to the message. Listen to me right now. I can't talk to you.

Listen to the message. I left you a message. No, I don't know. I don't think that matters either. That was what it was all for. And it gets to Bill who, this was bizarre. He starts like, you could say singing. He's like, oh, my Jenny.

And I'm like, I've never heard Bill talk like this or sound like this. So he's probably like you said, he probably hit the pool house before those. He's a little lit and he's like, oh, my Jenny. We don't hug anymore. It was almost like watching somebody take an edible for the first time and just like they have no inner monologue. They're like, remember hugs? We used to hug. What happened to hugging?

What happened to greeting people with hugs? Yeah. you guys ever where did hugs get invented that's what bill wanted to wrap their arms around each other what does that mean i wrote down again what the fuck i wrote it down twice in two lines because i'm i didn't know what was going on and then we get over to to pollies and it's like pulling teeth the guys got the most stoic face and they're going like thank you so much for what you do for me i'm i'm so happy that i have you in my life i can't imagine myself without you you've never talked like this before.

Again, sure, it's sweet, but like... It's mostly I feel like it's uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable to watch. Louis is not going to let me leave this room unless I do something. Yeah, because then Louis... And I hope this never goes anywhere. Louis let slip, by the way, I also built a dungeon behind this, so you better follow suit, or you got to join the guys that built this place

because I want them to get out. They're back there right now. But flashed a poker night, and this is the allergic reaction. We don't have to talk about it, really, except for the fact that apparently, if you're Italian, you're too tough for anaphylactic shock. Apparently. That's what he said. And I'm like, dude, you thank God for Joe Benigno.

Well, I also thought it was kind of annoying. It was. Was it over the top? Sure. Sure. But that's a reasonable reaction. If you think somebody's actually going into anaphylactic shock and they think that ice is the correct maneuver, like, oh, we'll just put some ice on it. I'll stare into the mirror, a splash some water on my face.

Give me some Vicks. Yeah, you know what? honestly, you know, the nightmare blunt rotation? Yeah. This is absolutely nightmare like medical emergency situation. Oh, totally. You do not want to be around these idiots. They got some steak out of it.

That's what I mean. I meant you don't want to be around like Joe Gorga and Frank and, yeah. They don't know what the hell we're doing. I can put ice on it. Just ice it, dude, you'll be fine. I'm Italian. I don't go to the hospital. That was what came out of that.

I'm like, that's not a thing. That's not a thing at all. Do you not read my shirt that says Italian? Yeah. If you were curious, I am in fact Italian, but that's not a thing. That's like that tweet from back in the day from Riggs where it was like somebody made fun for putting on sunscreens. Like, what are you tougher than the fucking suns? Like, what are you tougher than allergies?

You're having an allergic reaction. It doesn't make you a bitch. It doesn't make you soft. You're potentially going to die. Just get a fucking epipen. That's all they're going to, if it is anaphylactic shock, they're going to stick you in the leg with an epipen. You're going to bounce back in a little while. why would you try to be so tough that you die?

You don't want to ruin the night. Is that what it was? I came over here in my pajamas. I'm going to have a good time. I'm going to talk some shit with the boys. I'm not a bitch. I'm fine. I'm fine.

I'm going to be all right. Yeah, what's going on? My throat's closed, but I'm fine. I'm totally fine. I can't breathe. I can't breathe at all. I'm not. Who needs to breathe?

He says Italians are used to low oxygen. What? That doesn't make any sense either. I'm married to an Italian. She needs oxygen. Give me some olive oil. are at what the fuck it was just such a weird scene and also the the cherry on top of all of this nonsense that's occurring is that we're watching it yeah why the fuck am i watching this why are you

putting me through this right now this season's been tough enough i have to sit here and now discuss with my co-host what the fuck he could be allergic to is it the bone marrow could it have been something they made the bone marrow with because it was it a seasoning maybe it's the alcohol But maybe, just maybe, nobody fucking cares. And this was a bad direction to take the show in. Maybe it's that. Maybe we should look in the mirror and be like, what the fuck? What have we done to this show?

You're right? No. I'm just sad. Honestly. It's sad. Like, this is crazy to me that this went through an editing room, went through testing, and they're like, yep, let's send this out there. What else do we have? Nothing?

And fucking bang it. stop putting episodes out. If this is the product you're going to put out, people aren't going to watch the reboot. If it's anything like this, are we going to watch people eat bone marrow shots? Let's send Jermaine out there. He'll get it.

Oh, God. Keep Jermaine away from everything. Jermaine's going to ruin the reboot. But the next day, we get Polly and Dolo and she's saying that the house burned down. They're going to stay. And again, it came out.

The house didn't burn down a garage on the property burnt down or a garage near the property burnt down. That's what actually happened. but everyone takes it for what it is they're like it's a sign it's divine intervention of course the house burned down because it couldn't take us all being in there but we get to teresa's and we're met by james leonard who i retract everything i said last week other than i'm not trusting an attorney in a fitted hat this is why this is why i said i tried to be nice and be like oh he's still an attorney and they have a lot of money so he probably probably knows what he's doing. This guy's not a real attorney. This guy's an idiot. And also, Marge had a great point earlier where she's like, what attorney would be a party to this?

Theresa probably paid him. She definitely paid him. But even so, this is a terrible look. It's just, he starts it off by saying that he's been around Teresa's family and got her through so many different things. He's still just milking money out of her. That's all he's doing. That's all he's doing. That's all he really cares about. He doesn't give a shit about any of this. I'm going to get my face on there. Maybe some people create a little buzz around the firm that, if you ask Marge, it's next to a meth clinic.

That's going to go over pretty well. Maybe you need a new office. Who knows? I'm going to show up on this show and maybe it'll work out a little bit more. To any normal person, no, it's not going to work because you are just sitting there slandering somebody with zero proof. You have no proof other than

proof? Trust me, bro. Yeah. That's your proof. Proof? I was there. I was there. I read the case files. Show them the case files. If the case is closed, we can see it. It's public record. Boom. So again, this is more hearsay, more he said, she said, and he has the balls to say,

I was with them eight years ago, nine years ago, when she went to jail because I am not very good at my job. And she did get convicted. The clip is insane. The clip is wild. So mom's not going to be able to call today. Apparently, the power went out in jail. In prison. What does that have to do with Jim Leonard?

Anything? That's just the only clip they could show. other than the fact that you were... Jim, wait, no, it was Jim called and let us know. The power went out of the prison, so she's not going to be able to call today. No, but it was Jim. That was it. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah. That's all he's done. Yeah. No, I think he represented her. And show that clip. That's the other thing, though, if you represented her, she got convicted. So maybe not the guy... He got her a later sentence?

Probably not. He probably actually got her worse sentence. Yeah, I don't care anymore. Like, at this point, I'm just assuming that he fumbled the bag somehow. But regardless, or we're probably going to get shit for that, but whatever. Who cares? I don't. It's genuinely don't care.

And that's the thing. You know, all the girls arrive. And I genuinely forgot that Jackie was on the show. She walks up and was like, oh, yeah, she's part of this. And she's chiming in. She's happy to be invited. Dude, she's chiming in. Like, she's been part of this team for a very long time.

She's like, I just want Teresa to have closure. It's like, you just became friends with her. And it came out in an article that you both decided to be. become friends because you thought it was mutually beneficial and then it grew into something else. That was an actual quote from Jackie Goldsteiner. So it's like, look, dude, you're new

here. You're trying to be on the show. You're trying to do whatever you can. Guess what? None of you are coming back, apparently. And it's so fake. You're sitting there like, Teresa needs closure. What does Teresa divulge that you know about to know that she needs closure? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing at all.

You can just tell she's stress out. Maybe. just throwing this out there. It's her crazy fucking husband that's stressing her out. Could be. With all of his shit going on. Because Teresa's not going through anything

personally, other than hating Marge. Otherwise, it all comes back to Louie. Don't say that. Oh, God forbid. God forbid. You point to the red flag.

The literal... It's worth the bandaid off. I don't give a shit anymore. Louis sucks. He's a terrible fucking person. He's definitely doing a bunch of shit. He's definitely doing a lot of crazy shit. and he is not a mentally sane person. It doesn't appear to be. Any normal person with eyes, get your head out of Teresa's ass and take a look at her husband

and say, hey, this dude's nuts. Yeah. What's up with this guy? He's not making Teresa happy because Teresa's not happy. She's stressed out. So get off of that and move on. Maybe go attack him so that they'll get divorced and move on and she'll be happy. That's what you should be doing if you want a tree stand.

If you want a tree stand, we said that last year. When things were getting weird with him, we're like, if you're really a fan of hers, do you really want this to be the dynamic? Because it appears to be very toxic. Yeah. We can't say that, apparently. Nope. Because that just means we hate to research. She was getting canceled.

Yeah, it's all canceled. Just cancel it. But apparently, Marge was subpoena to ask whether or not she's been talking to Louis X's, and Marge said she wasn't going to show up. And I'm under the impression, and I am not a lawyer, nor am I in law enforcement in any way, shape, or form. I was fairly certain that if you get subpoenaed, you must appear in court or else you're held in contempt? Yeah. I think there's two different types.

I'm sure subpoena probably wasn't even the right word for them to use in this moment. He's a lawyer. What do you mean? She was probably requested to come to court to testify, and she could deny it, so she didn't go. Yeah, because I thought subpoenas, like, you get served. Yeah. You get served a subpoena, and it's like, you must appear.

Yeah. You're in arrears. And it's not like she's living this low-profile life where they can't find her. her to serve her. No, she definitely got served if that's the case. Right. And didn't go.

Right. So she would be in trouble. That's what I thought. She's not in trouble. She wasn't subpoenaed. I'm not coming. They said, damn, she foiled us again. She said no.

What do we do now? We call James Leonard. Next time she orders pizza, we'll put it under the pizza. What is going on? Ugh. But we get built up to this alleged payoff that we're about to get. And she's like, this will make your head spin.

Is everybody ready? Go to a commercial break, by the way, so we can build the tension during the commercials and come. Get some water so you can spit it out when I come back to this. And she says, Marge has been getting all of her info from Louis X.

Ooh, mic drop. Yeah, duh. What do you mean? And Dolores just says what we're, all thinking immediately. Of course Marge is getting all of her information from his ex. You even said that three years ago. Here's six

clips of her saying that. There's the montage. And what are you doing? You're also digging up dirt. You guys are doing the same thing. It doesn't matter. Who cares? I agree. And the funniest part is Danielle is the one that lays it out. It's like, well, let's break this down. Before that happens, by the way, Jeddain's like, well, she didn't like when I talked to Laura for months, so I stopped because it wasn't nice. After months when she became no longer useful.

After getting all of the information out of her. Then I stopped talking to her. So Danielle points out, you guys both did the same thing. This is the most pot calling the kettle black moment ever. And this is, again, we're going to point at the fan base and go, you just watched this scene transpire.

You just watched Teresa, quote unquote, out Marge for doing all this shit. We know that Jen Aden and Teresa were doing the exact same thing. I'm not saying one is better or worse than the other. I'm saying they are exactly the same thing. They are literally the same. So how the fuck, either way, would you defend either of these parties

and saying that they were in the right and the other was in the wrong? And I'm only saying this because I've already seen posts that are trying to burn march to the ground for doing this. I'm like, guys, it's on TV. It's right there. don't there's no dog in this fight they're both doing the same shit up and you are also part of the problem and why this show sucks so much so nothing else really happens except for this amazing moment

the only shining light in this whole season is there's a knock on the door or a ring on the ring cam and there's this big wreath presented and it looks like a funeral arrangement and marge sent a funeral arrangement and said, sorry for the loss of your dignity, love, love, love, march. That was a great move. That's funny. But that's too little too late. It will not save this show or the season. Great moment, great move.

That is hopefully what this season is remembered for other than that this season is when it all ended. That funeral arrangement, honestly, that was a metaphor for this show. There you go. This show is getting on to that one for. That literally just came to me and it's really good. that wreath, sorry for your loss, Roanjay, you're gone. Yeah, I mean, it was even really sad, too, when Danielle goes to her confessional,

and she's so excited about this. It's like, ugh. It's a cool moment. It's a cool moment. It's great, but, like, your excitement level too high. It's too high for us. I know you're still trying to do your job over there. Appreciate it.

We don't care. That moment, it's like, here we go. And then I think next week or the following is, we have one or two left. What next week is the finale and the. the week after that, we get to... Them watching it. Wait, wait a minute. We get to watch the finale. What do you mean?

If they were going to do it that way, they should have us watch the finale with them in like a little box in the corner reacting to it. That is a good one, or it should be like a 30-minute finale, just the scene of whatever the hell they're doing and whatever it happens with Teresa and Melissa yelling at each other at the end. And then for 15 minutes, we get to see some of the reaction shots. Do not waste our time with a second episode. I know they're going to.

Oh, no. If there's two episodes, I'm going to cry. Yeah. Cry? Yes. Weep. Sob. Maybe.

Hear me out. We'll cover next week. If there's a second episode, instead of covering that, we cry. Okay. On air. For 40 minutes. Yeah. Just weeping.

You guys just get to hear us cry. Yep. That's what we're going to do. We're good at it, too. But, uh, look, it's all just an ome. It's just an ome. I know what you're doing It's just an ome

I know it's just a dude Omen Of course there is Let's answer them all From Sarah Shears Do you think production tried to save them Or are they just watching them crash and burn We kind of talked about it a little bit

I think they were like They're throwing shit at the wall and hoping Trying to find something Yeah And from Sarah Pilarty. Am I missing something? This quote unquote bomb from tree has wasn't much of anything. You're not missing anything.

No, you're right on the nose. Nothing. Yeah, you're good. If you thought it was a bomb, something was wrong with you. So, no, you're good. From Rachel Michaelis, would adding Frank's girlfriend, fiancee, Brittany, make the show more interesting? No, we wouldn't.

Because she would just fall in line somewhere. That's what we've seen. You haven't seen the. theme of this show. It's newbie comes on. Newby picks team. Mubi. Newby switches side. Newby goes back to original side. Chaos ensues.

From Shauna Draper 27, I'd love to hear your power rankings on this group. Are they all tied for last? Yeah. I'm not even going to do a power rankings. No, there's no reason to. There's no power. There's nothing. It's not even a ranking. There's nothing. We've been shit list, maybe. It's the snap.

We've been Thanos snapped. Yep. Everyone's gone. uh from billy big deals does teresa yeah it's a great name wait what does he do is he a car salesman or something can you click on his profile real quick for me i really hope sorry billy we're really going to dig into your really i need you to be a salesman of some sort i hope so billy no i think his last name is deal oh okay i appreciate that too bow deal Sorry, Billy. Billy Bo-Dietel.

Does Teresa think this redeems Louie and the exes wouldn't have done this without Marge's influence? I don't know. The exes were going to do this regardless of Marge. I think Marge was just trying to get information from them to use against Teresa. Let's be honest. That's what you always was doing. Marge was digging for some kind of shit to throw at Teresa. and yes, Teresa thought that this would vindicate her and Louis end point.

She did think this would land so hard that everybody would be anti-March, and it did not at all. Yeah. From Christine D. Philippus, would you hire Trees attorney? Yes, to terrorize somebody that I hate. Yeah, no. I mean, I called it with the fitted hat last week and tried to be nice about it after this disaster. Absolutely not. I'm shocked that this man's an attorney.

All right. We'll do one more here from Mrs. Nage Angel. Probably getting that wrong. Do you think Margaret has something on Dolores and Polly? I think it's more hearsay, maybe. But again, that's probably something to do with Polly's X, as it always is. I don't think that Marge is actively digging to the point of talking to somebody in Polly's life or Polly's X. She's probably reading, like, posts and random things about it just to see if she can get anything.

But I think that she really only, she saves all that energy to actively talk to people for Teresa. Yeah, I think so too. But I also, you know, it doesn't matter anymore. I don't know. Yeah, does it? It just simply doesn't matter. The show's gone. The show's getting replayed.

Hi, Jersey. It's sad. It sucks. Like, fuck, this, what a downfall. God, what are all the people on Twitter are going to fight? about they're going to probably start yelling at each other again as they always do I don't know who knows this is we'll have to keep an eye out for our favorite toxic Twitter people oh yeah to see who they back in the new cast that'll be interesting then we'll have to

try to do some analytics on why they always trace it to this new person or marge to this are they reminiscent of are they showing similar signs of their predecessors yeah that'll be fun yeah or maybe this unifies them That would be, uh, wouldn't that be great? Wasn't it so much more fun when we used to just yell crazy shit at each other on Twitter and threaten each other's families?

No. No, it wasn't. But maybe it'll unify them and they'll be like, yeah, wasn't that great? That was a good time. Wouldn't it be funny if, like,

you could have a differing opinion and then either have a conversation about it or just agree to disagree rather than tell somebody that their entire lineage is idiots and they deserve to die? Because that seems like a crazy response to me. But hey, what do we know? What do we know? Apparently it helped the show out a lot.

anyway hopefully we didn't bum you out too much this was very therapeutic for me i don't know about you but it didn't feel good to just fumble through this one a little bit but um look we will continue to watch we will continue to break down each episode we will continue to call out what we don't like as we always do i will tell you this right now if they reboot this show we will be all in on board for the reboot tell them i'm telling them because that's how we were with Roney and I thought Roney was solid. They obviously have some things to work on, but they got a second season, so we're excited for that.

I'm excited for a reboot. Let's see what they can do with this show. And in the meantime, if you're looking for quality housewife shows and you're not watching Miami, I don't know what you're doing. If you're not watching OC this season, do yourself a favor there. We have a lot of shows to look forward to coming up. The non-housewife shows have taken over Bravo. They're much better right now.

We got a lot of those lined up for the near future, I believe, like the Southern Charms, Southern Hospitality's got to. be soon what else there's a third one summer house summer house um and then salt lake's got to be coming up soon like we got salt lake started filming like immediately after they're very quick they should be coming back soon the new ronio will come back soon yeah we've got enough on the horizon coming i imagine after the olympics yeah they're definitely waiting till that and for sure but the sun's on the horizon

everybody hang in there it's been a very strange time for bravo tv but as always always, we will ride through the gates of hell with you to get back to the glory days. Yep. Prov pros are out of here.
