Bros & Shows - Tribeca's Really Up and Coming- (RHONY reboot Full recap, RHOSLC's return, Crappie Lake full recap)

Episode Date: August 16, 2023

What's up Bro's?! We kick off tonights episode with a little RHOSLC talk as we get closer to the return of the ladies of Salt Lake. Will Mary Cosby save the franchise? Or is the absence of Jen Shah the nail in the coffin for the show? Then we're off to Crappie Lake where Sonja and Luann are planning Christmas in July. We get a great cameo from Paula Abdul herself as they plan the Talent Show for the big finale. Then we're in New York where this new cast is really showing promise. Brynn continues to dive into her past as she shares some tragic details about her upbringing only making her story that more inspiring. Jessel and Erin have beef as neither one can see eye to eye (or apologize... Jessel) but the group comes together for an event as Jessel's except for Jenna. AKA Jenna LIE-ons according to Brynn. The drama is starting to brew and meanwhile the ladies are still able to hang out in a group and have fun while avoiding some of the annoying tropes that we've gotten used to (i.e. massive overblown fights and overproduced nonsense) All that and more on today's episode!

Hi, I'm Karma. And yes, I am a bitch. Brov Bros. Good evening, everybody, and welcome back to the Brav Bros. Your favorite podcast from The Bros for everybody. For whoever wants to listen, I am your co-host, Steele Russell, joined as always by the one and only schluter m'gluter what's up dude feeling all right tonight schluter mcguter checking in um yeah no really nothing to complain about honestly are you comfortable always you don't

look comfortable no no what would make me look more comfortable i don't know you feel you look like you're hunched i'm feeling it okay as long as you're comfy just check i may yeah no i appreciate that that's a good friend yeah making sure i'm comfy no i'm just you know i think this is my ready stance It's just ready stance. I like that. You're amped up for today. I'm actually on the balls of my feet. Always fucking ready.

Always ready. I mean, steal second right now. I don't know. Who knows? Well, as you said, not a whole lot going on this week. I will say we are so close to football season. I'm so excited. I can't even watch preseason because I really don't care about it.

And none of our starters are playing. Anyway, DeAndre Swift had a nice run, which was nice to see. But I'm so stoked for football and fall. And I put the patio out there in time literally for the fall. Because what I want to do is get a project. So when we have night games... The side of your house? Yeah.

I'm going to use the side of my house as the TV screen. Do you like your neighbors? I love my... Well, that's the good part. So Rich next door, who's going to see the projector, is awesome. And Rich will probably watch the games with us. The other people, I don't care. That's what I was thinking.

I was thinking more so, less so that they'd complain about it, more so that they'd invite themselves. You know who I got the idea from? Oh, I see what you're saying. Two neighbors down. They did this last year. And I was like, okay, that's a great idea. now that I have my side patio, you know what I'm saying?

It'll be out there. Throw some dogs on the grill, a couple of burgs. A couple of glizzies? A couple of glizzies. Watch the birds? Yeah, it'll be the glizzy gulpers. Yep. Anyway.

Yeah, that'll work. I saw today, I'm kind of the same way. I was thinking about going to the game on Thursday night. But with the shortened preseason, they don't really play the starters ever. No. You might get a couple of snaps on Thursday night and then nobody on whatever the next game is. But I did see today, for the joint practice, it seems like

the Eagles were doing some unnecessary hitting on Deshawn Watson. Love that. I love that. He deserves all of the unnecessary hitting. It's not like he can complain about somebody touching him without his consent, right? No. He deserves to get fucking... I can't believe that they allowed him to, like,

re-enter the league. Like, 30 cases against this man. Not only that, but like watching NFL Live or something like that, they'll start talking about Deshawn Watson and will he return back to the talent that he was and Houston. It's like, who cares? We're just ignoring all this now? I know. He had his year. He had his suspension. We're just done with it. It's actually mind-blowing to me that

it's just glossed over. I'm the same way. When people will go on TV, like, if I'm watching Sports Center, and they're just recapping the Browns. I'm like, you guys are talking about Deshaun Watson. Like, he's not scum of the earth. Yeah. And then they'll go into a segment about how somebody just got suspended for an entire season because he put $1,000 on himself to get more receptions. Isn't that crazy? And on yourself? Roger God. What a guy. What a man. For all of you that don't watch football, just Google Roger Goodell and all the stuff that he's fucked up over the years.

He deserves to be on Bravo and just tear that motherfucker down. Anyway, now that we have... Yeah, inside the NFL could be a Bravo show. It really could be a Bravo show. Get everybody involved. And before we get to the Bravo stuff, we need to discuss Barbenheimer. We're getting close. We've gotten a lot of applications.

We're going to set a date on Friday. I think Friday's episode we need to set up Barber. We've got to really twindle this thing down and figure it out. Yeah, we've gotten a lot of really great. applications way more than I ever could have expected as far as the quality of what we're getting so thank you all so much for the content in them the things that you're saying are fucking great yeah but if you want here's the rules okay barbenheimer application you need to put your name all right you need to say whether or not you can make it to philly this has to be done

at the king of prussia iMacs because it's the only iMAX theater in the area equipped to handle Oppenheimer. You need to, one, say why you want to see Barbenheimer double feature and two, why you should go with Shooter and three, you need to bring him a gift and tell us what that gift is. Let me clarify because we got a couple, one in particular, that's my favorite one that. That confused that. Shooter's not giving you a gift. Yeah. You are giving him a gift, okay? And the person in question, I hope you understand who I'm talking about because your application's

fucking great. But email that to us. We're going to announce a date on Friday, so we'll get it in the books, and you guys can have a date with Shoots Magoutes at the Barbenheimer double feature. Figure it out. Got to see these movies. Figure it out. Oh, yeah, he's actually getting Nancy. He really wants to see him, so let's figure this out. As you know, when we have our midweek episode, we like to do our power rankings on the shows. So let's do our power rankings. I want to get some buttons loaded up on this bad boy so I can have a funny sound power rankings. Right in time for us to stop doing power rankings, probably.

Yeah, we'll probably go over the new segment. That's better. But for now, power rankings, too, too, too. Not a lot has changed. I think I am going to flip-flop Atlanta and New York. Okay. But that's going to happen probably every week. Probably still at the top just because it's just an enjoyable show.

As far as the Housewives go, New York and Atlanta are like neck and neck back and forth pretty much every week. So we have Atlanta 2 this week. We've got Atlanta 2 this week. Then I've got New York and then O.C., you know, O.C is what it is. Oh, see you later. Almost. Oh, see you next Tuesday.

I think it's got to be getting close. I, again, I enjoyed last week more so than I have the previous weeks. I'm curious about this week. I hope they're on this better trend. It's interesting. The more I'm reading into comments and stuff, there are a lot of people that are still loving OC this season. They're saying that it's like delivering. The Tamara's actually bringing the

heat. I don't see it. It's got to be paid bots. Oh, you think it's paying? I love that we just deferred. When it's a negative thing, everybody screams bots. But when they're trying to pump up a franchise that's just not doing well, nobody screams bot. It's going on with that. I mean, I will say, I agree with you. I think last week was better

but we can't make a change in our opinion on an entire season just because there was one week that didn't bother us. I'm not like yeah, OC's back. I'm just I would rather watch an episode I don't hate. So I'm glad that last week I at least didn't hate it. Yeah, I get that.

But yeah, I mean, it's still in the basement for me. I just don't think maybe it's more of a credit to New York has been really good. I hope more people are coming around on it. Atlanta's been steady for us. I know, again, people say that it's not the best season, but I think it's been still pretty steady. And if you try to put that in the same realm as OC, it's much better than OC. Yeah, I agree with that. It's really a comparison.

It's not close. Yeah, you're going to compare Atlanta to past seasons. sure, that's fine, but you compare it to O.C. It's not even a competition. Atlanta's not going anywhere. There's talked about O.C. doing things every year. That's a good point. And I think it's interesting that you brought it up by the last week or the week prior.

I forget when. But I think a good point is O.C. does not seem genuine anywhere. None of those women seem like they're actually friends. They seem like everything is fake and produced. And Tamara coming into the fold makes that even worse because she is the fakesest out of all of them. She's doing the most for every scene. I think there's something to say about that with them not being friends because I, that is how I feel. And I think I did say it last week.

However, I was shown a scene and we'll get into this with New York a little bit later in which Aaron and Jessel are clearly not friends. And it was still one of the more polarizing scenes of the episode. Oh, the coffee scene. There's a way for these shows to do that. Just because you're not friends doesn't mean there's not some good answer, the good TV, whatever you want to call it, in front of you. It just seems with O.C., they don't care. Like, they're not friends, and they don't care, and they're not trying to make a name for themselves anymore.

That's a good point. Tamara thinks that she's the star of the show, so she's going to push that as much as possible. Jen has no footing. I would like to say that she's trying to find her footing, but she has no footing. And the rest of them have been around for so long. I feel like they don't care,

and there's no real motivation for them to perform better and try to put themselves in uncomfortable situations to give us better TV. They're just kind of going around about their business. You think they're phoning it in? Yes. Okay. I agree.

Maybe they're not phoning it, and maybe this is just who they are, and they've gotten to this point where they're just comfortable and they don't really see an issue with what they're doing. Yeah, maybe. And that's why I wish that more, like you said, you saw a bunch of comments saying that it was a good O.C season, this is going well, blah, blah, blah, whatever. I wish there was more backlash because maybe they'd see it and they'd realize that they're doing something wrong and change it. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. But in light of that, my power rankings, I'll do it super quick, number one, crappy lake, number two, Roney, but very close. the number. I love this week's episode. Number three, Atlanta, number eight is O.C.

And fill in the blanks throughout. Yeah. A lot of Netflix. Every other below deck. Yeah. Every. 15 below deck shows. Sorry. OC is 25. Yeah. And all of the math. Bro, bros. You're doing a good job. In light of the O.C. talk, though,

why I sped through my power rankings. Let's talk Salt Lake. Because there's a lot more. Trailer looks really good. Trailer looks really good. here's my bold prediction for the season Mary Cosby saves the show and we have a second coming of Salt Lake back to its glory back to the show I fell in love with in season one

I think Mary's going to bring the heat and I got I posted that today and I said is Mary Cosby going to save the season? I got a resounding yes for most people it's interesting a lot of people though did not like her I don't think you appreciate what she brings to the TV screen I'm not trying to say that your opinion is wrong, but you can't look at Mary Cosby as she's more of a character.

Like the person that is Mary Cosby, she is a cult leader. She is unhinged 24-7. She says things like Heather asks, do I look inbred? And Mary says yes to her face. If you don't want that on TV, I don't know how to help you. This is exactly what Salt Lake needs because, One, Jen Shah's gone, and we were wondering what this was going to look like, do they have enough on this show to carry it?

We don't think we thought no, but you bring back Mary to kind of, in her own way, kind of guide them towards entertaining TV, if you will. Just comedic relief. Yeah, exactly. And obviously she's going to say some off the wall shit. You're going to get reactions out of Heather. You're going to reactions out of Whitney. Apparently she hates Whitney. She's going to push that a little bit more, that entertainment value that we so desperately need in Salt Lake that we were so.

tired of last year. Jen's gone. It's a whole new show, essentially. Leave them on, see what happens. You've got a star in Lisa Barlow. Let her have some fun. Meredith is hopefully going to be less of a stick in the mud. Of a stick in the mud.

That's a good way to put it. No idea what we're going to get out of the new girl. Not even really going to try to reflect on that. I have zero clue what Heather's coming with. Heather, no idea. I think she's going to be the punching bag all year. You think so? And that's not even like a pun.

Oh, shit. I do. I think that people are just going to rip her apart. all year and it's going to start with Whitney and then everybody else is just going to have at it. I said last week that I wasn't excited. I watched that trailer and I'm excited. So at the very least, they did a good job with the trailer. Yeah. Yeah. Now, again, there's not a lot going on around that time either. So it should get us through to Beverly Hills. And that's kind of what we want. We got that and we got Southern Charm. I think that will carry us. Yeah. So I think there's a

lot of promise in the upcoming shows, but there's a lot that needs to be delivered after the past two seasons that we've seen from both shows. Yes. So I think it's going to be really interesting and it's a very pivotal point for Bravo. And I keep saying this along the way, like while we're doing this, they're at a crossroads with a lot of these shows

where they need to figure out a new formula. And I do appreciate that they're trying stuff. I think we're a little too critical sometimes when they are, and not just you and I, but the audience as a whole. Yeah. I think everyone gets so stuck and set in their ways that, oh, the show's supposed to be like this.

It's supposed to look like this. They're supposed to act like this. That it's really hard for viewers to give it chance when they're like, hey, we're going to try this out and people immediately crucify. It's like, oh, this isn't what I'm used to. I don't like this. But you also don't like the current state it's in.

So you can't have your cake and eat it too. Either they shake it up and you watch it to support and hopefully they figured out along the way or you ride or die for the OGs and the shows go to shit. So like what's better? Yeah. And like you said, pretty much you find a lot of people in that gray area like with Roney just loving the old cast, but you stopped watching. I got in a comment war with somebody on.

TikTok because she wasn't making any sense. She was like, I refuse to watch the new one. It's no good. Like, I also said that season 13 sucked. I'm like, well, that means that the OGs that you love that you're riding and dying for right now, you're dying on this hill of OGs for life. You quit on them. Yeah, this isn't a fictitious show that they just replaced the actors in.

No. You think that they're just going to carry on a storyline and just replace people? It's very confusing. You know what? You get a lot of that on social media. People that just don't make any sense. It don't make a lot of sense to me. I don't get it.

And it was frustrating. So I wasn't rude. I was trying to get to the bottom of it. But she was just, she's like, I'm just not going to watch it. I'm like, well, that's weird. It's weird for you to stand on this soapbox of this show sucks when you refuse to watch the show. I don't, I will never get that as long as I live. Like just.

She has a vendetta against somebody on the show, what it sounds like. Oh, maybe. Maybe she got beef with Jessel. A lot of people seem to. Everybody does. But, uh, let's get into some crappy lake. And we are back in Benton. And, uh, this show continues to.

deliver it it hits every week i there i think there was one episode where i was like meh but other than that one and i think which one was that i don't know because i honestly think i've enjoyed it all the way through i think there was one that was a little bit slower maybe episode three but all of them have been enjoyable and this one is christmas in july and i can't get over and i don't think i ever will get over how invested luanne and sonia are in this town like genuinely they really appear to give a fuck. Yeah, no, it's, we can't talk enough about how refreshing it is to see that, especially from former housewives, current housewives, whoever, they are fully invested.

You can see that they're, they're either the best actresses in the world, which they are not. Which we've seen them act before, and they are not the best actresses in the world. It's okay. Can't be good at everything. No, it's okay, yeah. Or they're just genuinely having a good time and they just let their hair down and just went into it with open arms, excited to help out.

And I think the most compelling part about this entire show is watching each and every person in that town kind of open up to them. I was starting to warm up and like, yeah, I agree. Like you get these hard-ass Midwestern dudes like Craig that, like Craig that have been doing the same job for 50 years. It's living in the same town grew up in the town like that they currently live in. And these two women come in and they hate it. And six episodes later, seven episodes later, they're in love with them. Yeah, five weeks total. I do like that they keep saying the time frame.

Like, we've been here for five weeks. I'm like, thank you. Flowchart that bitch. Bam. Yeah. I know. We always need a good time frame. Yeah, I know.

It really helps. But I agree. I think it's heartwarming to see the town open up to them. And it's heartwarming to see them open up to the town. And that's why we talked about it a couple weeks ago and I had to cut it for time's sake. So I think we should discuss it tonight because the more I watch and I brought it to your attention at the end of the episode. And I don't know if I'm reading too far into it.

But Luanne says on the season finale, of Crappy Lake. So is that saying, oh, we're doing another season of Crappy Lake in Benton? Is that saying we're doing another season somewhere else? Or is that just wishful thinking like, oh, this is technically a season and the season's ending. And we don't know what the future holds. Honestly, I mean, if the two of us can sit on this couch and talk about the ideas of this show moving forward, then you got to assume that somebody who's getting paid a lot of money by Bravo is doing the same thing. If not, hire your boys.

but I think to answer your question plainly I think what they're doing is they're not sure what they want to do yet so it's better to leave it open-ended and say it's the season finale because then you can just push it and do one of the 15 ideas that you and I came up with what do you think is a better idea do you think it's a I think send the two of them to a different town to a different town you don't want to see him come back to Benton no should we do like a three year rotation like in three years come back with the cast or three years with oh you mean go back to benton she'll go somewhere else for two years like one place one place and then three years from now return to benton for a season to see how it's going and i mean there's countless towns like benton though oh i know i've lived in half of them yeah exactly um this is this is just my plan i would do three years rotation for for the cast

i would do luann and sonia oh i see okay for two other towns retire them okay and then bring in two two other polarizing ex-housewives, current housewives, whatever, if you can make it work, if they're willing to actually do that. Because if you get, I know, and if you get Sonia and Luann to kind of show them the ropes through three seasons, like, hey, we need you to hit the ground running, enjoy this, have fun, just look at it, lean into it, and actually care. If you can find the right cast, I mean, it's a little easier to go with two instead of like seven or eight like you're going to do on Potomac.

No, you can't do that. You just pan pick two that are good friends that will have fun together no matter what. throw them in a couple different towns and just see what happens if nothing else it's a good throwaway show just really is peacock have some fun give us something to watch that's you know 21 minutes long and sell some ads yeah exactly that's what you got to do but let's get to the episode we uh it's christmas in july like i said we get a leaf blower scene and um we get to see kathy involved in that you get a little slow motion like maryland monroe seeing where like they're blowing the air and everyone's having fun but the hotel renovation i didn't think the rooms

looked all that different, I thought it was just new bedding. The closets looked better and the vanities, I guess, looked better. But overall, I wasn't, like, blown away by the renovation. I think that's all they did was just replace the beds and... Yeah, they replaced the full beds. New vanities and new closets. And then they clean the floors, which probably haven't been cleaned. You need to get new carpets.

I don't know why they didn't get new carpets. Like, just seeing that, like... Probably time constraints, I'd imagine, or... I mean, you've got to imagine the Bravo's paying for it. Yeah, but it's carpet. I think that they just didn't want much. Maybe it's time. Maybe it's time.

Five weeks, you know. Maybe they couldn't. I don't know. But I think they should have gotten different. I agree with you. No. The carpet changes the room. But I did like what they did with the outside.

I like the mural. I like the outdoor seating area. And I love that, you know, he gets amped out. Where the hot tub go? I was still there. But they got a gazebo for it. Oh, okay. Under the gazebo was the hot tub.

Yeah. No, it's all, it's nice. It's a nice little upgrade. And I like that because I feel like a kosh throughout. this whole thing has, like, feigned excitement a lot of the time. He's like, oh, that looks really great. Oh, cool. Like, I know that he's genuinely excited and he's appreciative.

It just, he's kind of, I think he's a stoic man. Yeah, I would agree with. When he saw the mural, I genuinely saw him, like, wow, this means a lot to me. Like, this really hit. So I, it was nice to see that from him. I like, they still jabbed them, too, as they were walking him over blindfolded. Yeah, I like, you're walking into a pothole. Step higher.

Yep. When he was walking into the pothole and they're like, yeah, your parking lot sucks. You've got to get this fixed. Yeah, no, that was funny. That was funny. But when they were trying to make them step on an imaginary step, that had me go. I laughed out loud, I lo-led a few times.

Big old L-O-L-L-L-Ls. The next thing is the song, which is I would love to have a camera in the room with them that they just have a YouTube video of the whole thing unedited and watch this process happen. Six hours of unedited video. Unedited, these two try to figure the song out because it is hilarious that on one end you have Luann, the Countess, who is so serious. about this stuff. And look, I appreciate people that take their craft seriously. I'm not trying

to shit on her for like taking it to a different level. It's just on the other end, you have Sonia who will literally change the lyrics mid-song. She's like, I got me to change that, but doesn't tell anybody. She just keeps singing and goes, yeah, I changed it. It's like, we got to tell not only Luann, but the pianist, what's going on. Yeah. Because we don't know that you changed it. No, it's a great dynamic between the two of them. And I, look, I mean, I don't think I would watch six hours of uncut video watching the two of them do that. I would definitely click through it just to see some funny moments. But again, I mean, they're doing, how much are they doing per day? They're just all over the place. They do seem like it's a lot.

They're popping from the mayor's office over to the park and then into the town center to go do do the song? Yeah, I'd be tired at the end of the day. I'm curious how long they actually spent in that. Do you think they went back and forth to New York or do you think they actually stuck it out five weeks straight? I look, I'm a pessimist at heart. I don't think they would be this happy if they didn't go back to New York there and again. Like for a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. I'm curious. I'm going to do a weekend in New York in my own bed, come home, come back and I'll have some fun. That makes more sense. Like recharge and come back. And if there's weekend events, maybe stick around. I don't know. That's interesting. But we get to the Christmas in July and it looks like a blast. Sonia and Luann are, look, they look great. But interesting outfit choices when you're going to hang out with a bunch of children. And it was really funny. And this is why. I do like small towns because there's no filters. Yeah.

And Craig goes, man, they pulled up and now I said, oh God, they look like hookers. Yep. No punches pulled. Yeah, not only that, and they just start interviewing the moms on the street that had kids. Yeah. And I think they looked beautiful. I thought Tonya's dress was, you know, it was a little short. We saw her thong.

We saw her thong, you know. It's okay. It's fine. I think it's funnier because I don't think they're cool with it. But I think for the sake of both the town's image and their own image, they're trying to roll with it. Interesting. Yeah, I have a different take on that, actually. I think that if this had happened that first weekend before they had done anything else for the town and kind of gave it good PR,

they would have been like, what the fuck is going on? They know them now. These women are up here. Now they've been here for four weeks. They're having fun. They've done all these different things. They're putting together a talent show. They're trying to raise money for the town.

We appreciate what they're doing. All right. Yeah, we can laugh at all. That's just Sonia moment. Yes. They can now say that they're cool. They're on our first name basically. I got it.

I like that. That's a better. Better take on it. But the last thing is we get the rehearsal for the show and a stunning, shocking reveal of who they got there. And I don't know how the fuck they got. Paula Abdul is a superstar. She's Paula Abdul.

And she just shows up to Benton for Luann and Sonia, who met her through charity, I believe. Yep, pretty much. And Paula's going to go in and help out with the dance. I thought that scene was so touching. Dev and I both said the same thing. I wonder if these kids know who Paula Abdul is. I don't know.

I think I thought they were told to just be really excited. And then when you could see Paula walk over to the teacher and the teacher was genuinely excited and started crying. I think you can kind of see a turn in the kid's faces like, oh, wow, she's actually like a deal. I saw three reactions. I was like, that's genuine from the girls. I didn't know if all of them were like. A couple of them knew. Yeah.

But the rest of them, you know, young kids just getting excited because the other ones are getting excited. As soon as they Google it, they'll be like, oh, my God, we met her. Maybe. I mean, I don't think that, like, American Idol to you and I is huge. Bro, that's not what she's famous for. Sure it is. Wow. You want to put a poll out?

Yeah. I guarantee you. I hope you get dragged. The whole country, people remember her from American Idol more than her actual. I hope you get. The music video of her dancing with the cartoon cat is iconic. Okay. Cool.

Wow. I hope our fans... I'm not speaking for myself. I'm saying... I hope you get ripped apart. I'm saying the majority of Americans... You're speaking for yourself and America. If you put a poll up and say, where do you know Paul Abdul from? I guarantee it's probably so tilted in American Idol's favor. I'm going to put this up.

Okay, fine. This is going to happen. Okay. I don't, I hate... Cool. Don't do that. Yeah, go ahead. I hate when you talk like that.

Yeah, go ahead. You've done this before. You've been wrong before. You're ready to face this? No, I've done this. No, I'm not wrong. Wow. Fuck this.

we'll be back next week we're done Roney next week bye no but that takes us to Roney and this might have been my favorite episode of the season I'm going to tell you why I think you said that last week

I will say it every week when it rings true and I think it's a carryover from last week last week I felt was the most genuine episode that we're getting from this cast for sure this is a follow-up on that and I love that in the scenes when they're all together when there's a funny moment even though like they don't all get along but they don't turn it into a group ending fight it's like yeah some of them aren't getting along but

Aaron still shows up to jessle's event like they are still able to like keep the peace and when they're all in a group together they're still able to like laugh and kiki and have a good time and like that's what I'm all about I think that's what we're getting with fresh faces on a show I agree they're a not I don't want to say they're afraid to kind of split apart but I mean if this happened season 13 of Roney and you had two mainstays getting into a fight, like say Durinda and Luann at some point in time, get into a huge fight, it would be explosive. It would be explosive and they wouldn't be in the same room together for weeks because they feel like they're both big enough that they don't have to deal with it. These women do not have that notoriety. They

don't have that mainstay on this show. So I do wonder, and I think this is, I mean, it's making for great TV and I hope it continues. Obviously, it might not in like five, six seasons, but we can live in to hear it now and just enjoy it. Living the now, man. Live in the now, man. Come on, dude. Come on, man. Just living the now, man.

But let's dive right into it and along those same lines of being genuine. We're back with Bryn at the dinner and she's still diving into her past and we learned more and more about it. As she previously stated, her grandmother adopted her, but she was scared for years that she wasn't going to be allowed to stay there and drank a bottle of Dimetap as a first grader to sleep forever, which literally broke. my heart. Yeah. Like this whole scene really broke my heart and what I liked about it and not like, oh, I'm enjoying this. What I liked about it from Brin's standpoint and what we've seen from a lot of

these ladies on the show is the genuineness of it. And that's why I talked about it already. I like seeing them be vulnerable and open up to us. We talked about the generational thing, right? How our generation is much more open to being vulnerable, to being emotional and we want that reciprocated in the shows that we're watching. We don't want to see ice cold people all the time. So to see Bryn open up like this is really touching, but more so to watch the group react to it. Everybody in that room is engaged. They care. They're feeling her feelings.

Even if they're not Bryn's best friend, they can sit there in that moment and resonate with her. I'm like, damn, this story is nuts. You've been through so much. How did you get to be the person you are? That's incredible. Good for you. And it's a look into who Bryn is as a person, right? Like why she is so bubbly, why she is so happy, why she's a little bit extra sometimes.

It's because she was insecure for so long that if she wasn't the funnest person in the room, the loudest person in the room, the happiest person in the room, that she wouldn't be allowed to stay somewhere. And that is so heartbreaking, but at the same time, so endearing to see that carry over into her actual personality. Like, yeah, she genuinely seems happy all the time. And yeah, she likes to love her life. She likes to enjoy her life. And she has come from a place that she respects where she came from. So she's enjoying where she is. And I think that's a beautiful thing.

Yeah, it's definitely a beautiful thing. And I think that the way that they've got this broken down as far as just kind of introducing us to all of these women on a different level has been masterful so far. I mean, obviously, you know, look, you're not going to get as deep of a story as Brin for all of them. You couldn't, you'd be crazy to ask for something like that. Which raises questions for me about Jessel that we'll get to later. But I said that to remind myself. I think we will get there with Jessel if that, you know, when we get there. But we get that kind of breakdown for everybody.

we get to hear about their past and they're doing it one by one they're not doing they didn't front load it with the first and second episode and just say hey we're going to introduce it everybody and they're going to share their most intimate secret with all of you and you're going to have to pick from now on out who you're going to stand by no they're doing it one by one and it seems organic and it i think it is organic that's the other thing this seems organic yeah no well that's fair but you get to see a little bit more and i we got so much out of brin and obviously there's a lot of us going on this episode but she has so much much going on, sitting down and playing chess later, enjoying the chess, having a little chess

set, which never would have expected any of that. That's what we want. And that's, we're starting to kind of see why these women were picked for this role, which I think is huge. We always have questions about casting. We always have questions about, okay, this person is not bringing it on screen. But we never really think, okay, why were they chosen in the first place? They don't have any, yeah, they don't have any on-camera experience. They don't have any of this. So we're starting to See, at least with Brin, obviously, Jenna is her own thing. Jenna Lyons has her own thing going on. She's polarizing.

She's huge. But Brin, nobody really knew about her. You get this whole story about her past and then couple it with the fact that she likes to play chess on the weekends and she goes out and parties all the time and goes to cool places and has craft or whatever the fuck the name of that restaurant is. Low on the list. Catch. We're never going to remember.

We've made too many jokes about it. It doesn't matter. Crap. Crap. We'll call. Yeah. Craft Lake. Crap.

But no. We're starting to see why these women were chosen for these roles. And obviously, you're not going to hit on all of them. But when you have somebody like that in the middle of the show, I expect more moving forward from because we're going to know where she comes from. So when she acts out in certain ways, we're going to say, okay, well, look, I know why she did that. That's okay. It makes it easier to understand where they're coming from when shit gets bad.

That's a good way to put it. The next thing, Jessel announces to the group that she's having an event at her house for a designer. I was confused about the party once we got there. The friend is the designer, and she is starting her business as a fashion consultant. And it's kind of a joint venture here that, like, this is her in the know or something it's called, is her consulting group. And this is her first event that she's hosting for her friend who is a designer. We'll get to that later. I was confused about the dynamic of it earlier.

I had no idea. Yeah, well, there you go. Until it happened. Oh. So even when it happened, you didn't know? No, no, when it just fucking broke it down. What do you mean when it didn't happen? I didn't know.

Clearly, I knew. I just told you what happened. Don't do that. You're gaslighting tonight. You're a little gaslighty. Like gaslighting. You walked in the door, you smell a little gasoline. I should have known better.

Highlight on? Hope not. Did you see that house that blew up? Yeah. Jesus. Anyway, we're getting sidetracked. Jenna responds with, I have something that night. I can't be there.

I have an event. They ask her what it is. She goes, oh, I don't remember. Which, you lied twice now because... It's not an event. You can say that I can't be there. I'm decorating the tree with my son, who I don't get to see very often. Hell, them, what you told the cameras.

That's it. That didn't make any sense to me. It made no sense, but you lied about the event, because it's not an event, and then you lied about not knowing. You definitely remember what you're doing if you're decorating your tree with your son, who you don't see very often, Jenna. I'm done giving Jenna the pass on social anxiety and not knowing what to do in social situations. Here's the thing.

Here's the thing. This is going to be surprising. I think that that's her go-to move. I'm not saying she doesn't experience some social anxiety, but I think that she uses that as an out, where she's like, yeah, I don't, you know, I'm not really comfortable in these situations.

And in turn, she's able to be like, she's able to be like, oh, I just don't have to go now. Yeah. That's what I think. Yeah. Now, I'm seeing, you know, I'm starting to see between the lying. Ah, the lion.

Start to see between the lions. Yeah. They sort of made that same pun later in the episode. But all right. No, they said lying. Yeah, it's. I said lines. during the Volvo Fall Experience event

I'm glad that I think Sai needs to let it go as far as the food thing goes. That was annoying. He needs to let it go. That being said, I enjoy Cy much more. I think that she's great for this show, but she needs to let the food thing go. The food was not that bad.

But the thing with Sai is I like her more because we got to know more about her goddamn business. She's not just a fucking content creator that just sits on Instagram all day and just post pictures of herself in, which, you know what? Maybe we could have done some digging on it. Yeah, we could have, but that's not our job.

You're supposed to show us on the TV screen. Come on now. But no, when they broke down what her actual business is and the way that it grew, I felt better for Sy. I was like, wow, that's awesome. Good for you.

Hardworking, that's great. Biomager, dope. You went into the fashion industry and then you wanted to go out on your own and you found this niche in content creation and you're killing it. And also, your day sounds like a goddamn nightmare. She's a bio major and a fashionista. Maybe she'll be able to design some cool clothing for like a post-apocalyptic world.

That'll keep us from radiation. I think that'll work. Why are we there? I don't know. Getting there. Okay. Maybe she will. I mean, the apocalypse can't be that far away, so we'll find out soon.

Hopefully she makes it through the apocalypse, so she can design some cool post-apocalyptic clothing because she's a bio-major. Whatever. Oh, I get it. Oh, my God. Bro, in my head, I'm like, what are you talking about? She's going to make, like, atoms

and, like, cool designer-looking clothes with, like, atoms are part of biology as well. We're made out of atoms. Don't try to, don't see, gaslight. You all witness this YouTube. you're witnessing this live or not live. Yeah, you just witness steel completely miss it. Let's get back on track.

Yeah, I totally whiffed. I didn't understand. I get it because biology should be able to protect those from. I got it. In my brain, I'm thinking of biology-themed clothing, which I didn't understand why that would help us in a post-apocalyptic world, except we'd look great. Read between the lines.

Okay, cool. Back to the... Did you just read between the lions? I got to go to bed. I can't do this. Back to the episode. the first scene ends with the cackling hag's comment and jessel is going to be a great great housewife she is i can't i don't like her i really don't but what she brings to this show

and a lot of people are comparing her to romona i totally see it we've got some fans over in england can somebody please verify whether or not calling somebody a cackling hag is like a term of endearment term of endearment i like that she said oh yeah it's like you know Pip, pip, cheerio, cackling hag. Like, what? Both of those I think mean hello, I think. Hackling hag's an insult. And the best part is when she's trying to explain it away,

she goes, look, like Jenna, you cackling old hag? It's like, you didn't use old, bro. You didn't use old before. Old's a new part of it. And you just insulted Jenna. And you just showed your true hand. Yeah, but I love that she blames it on being British and that they're more crude over there.

I do believe that. I think that's true. That's true, but I don't think that. think that it translates here and with their food oh yeah their food's ass all right cool yeah i think you were going to be really bad about british cuisine's not my favorite i'm going to get dragged by our british fans but hey i just i don't like it you'll boil a potato you'll be fine that's that's irish yeah it's okay yeah god here we go he's irish he can see yeah i can say that yeah we're about to get some shit but moving on from that but i actually respect this move here

because erin says do you want to take it back and she says no I'm like, all right, I appreciate that. If you're going to say some stupid shit, at least you stand by it. Like, I hate when we get people saying dumb things, and then they reel it in. They're like, oh, I was joking or this or that. She's like, no, I was joking. I said I've been joking. I'm not taking it back.

I like that she stood by it. And I like that Bryn calls her out and says, your shit stinks. Like, you're messy as hell. This is sloppy. It's not a good look. You need to clean this shit up, Jessel. And that's when Aaron chimes in and says, you looked miserable the entire time. And this scene for me actually made me empathize with Jessel a little bit more.

Because she said, I missed my kids. And a lot of times I would hear that and like, yeah, whatever. I think that she's going through a lot more. And I'm going to be careful with this. I'm not saying it's postpartum. I don't know. I'm just saying I think that she is dealing with a lot more after the birth of her children, the change in the dynamic of her marriage potentially and the lack of sex and the lack of sex life.

I think because she's so crude and brash, I think that we're missing out on what's going on with it. I think the girls start to realize that as well because they have that conversation later when they're sitting around playing chess and they say something's actually wrong. I think she's going through some serious shit. I don't think she knows how to voice it or how to carry herself while she's doing it. Yeah, no, I think that's a really good point. I think that what we're seeing, we do see a lot of genuine jessel between not apologizing for the cackling hags thing. when faced with it, even when everybody in the group is staring at you, she still didn't take it back. And to have the audacity to come back and ask Aaron to go to coffee the next day, because

you're now upset with something that Aaron said is hilarious. And I think that's actually who she is. I think that's how her brain ticks. There are other things definitely in the background going on. And look, like pretty much everybody in life has something going on that they're probably not talking about all the time. Pretty much everybody? I want to know the people that have nothing going on. I'd love to meet those people out there. And they're very special people. people. I don't like those people. No, not a big fan of those people. No, no, you guys can kick rocks. They're probably not listening to our show. It'll have like an inner monologue. Do you know

not everybody has an inner monologue? Really? Yeah. My brain doesn't shut up. Yeah, I know. I talk to myself all the time. Sometimes I verbally talk to myself all the time. Okay. Well, that's a different look at the brain of Magout's, but the scene ends with Jessel and the sex talk coming back up. And I'm tired of this. I don't care if you like Jessel or don't like Jessel. The sex, life in her marriage is a serious thing and everybody in the group is treating it like it's a ho-hum, just blow them, just break the seal, just go get in. Clearly there's a lot more underneath this where it's not as easy to just grab her husband by the hand, lead him into the bedroom and break the seal.

Like there's a lot here. Once she moves in and starts talking to her husband about it and then they have a real discussion about it on camera, it should kind of stop there. Let them kind of figure it out. You know what I mean? It's run its course to bring it up again, and this is a time frame thing again. But it's like a week or two later. I know that you guys don't see each other all the time.

You probably see each other when you film, maybe a couple of your pair off here and there, whatever. But it shouldn't be that polarizing of a discussion, especially when it's something so intimate in somebody's life. Right. You talked about it already up front. Sure, whatever. You got some answers. You ain't get some answers. She talked about it with her husband.

She told you she talked about it with her husband. Leave it at that. Let them figure it out at this point. It's no longer your business. Mission accomplished, because you know what? did. You had her have a real discussion with her husband about something that, look, it probably is bothering her. I don't want to assume her intentions, but it probably is bothering her. She got to have the discussion. Let them go work on it. Don't chime in. You're not really best

friends. I don't want to hear you guys talking about it every week. It's annoying. Yeah, I agree. I think it's time to move on from it and let her and her husband figure it out. But moving on from there, we get the scene between Jessel and Aaron and they're having coffee. And they need to sort some shit out. This conversation does not go well. Jessel assumed that she'd be able to sit there and they would just smooth things over. Instead, Aaron says that Jessel must have been catered to her whole life and Jessel goes, oh, you're calling me a princess. And then Aaron pretty much says, well, yeah, pretty much.

I'm calling you a princess. What I'm seeing between these two is they just do not. They don't click, they don't connect. Aaron doesn't understand how Jessel ticks. I don't think anybody fully understands how Jessel ticks. And Jessel doesn't understand how anybody ticks because she just says things and she can't help herself. And that's what leads me to this question. I don't want to speculate because I don't know her backstory that well yet.

But she compares herself to Bryn, to sigh, to having a similar story as them where I didn't come from money, I came over here as an immigrant, worked my ass off, got to where I am. Now, regardless of her upbringing, she has worked her ass off to get to where she is today. I will give her that. No questions asked. I need to know more about her original backstory, only because the two stories, that we have heard from Cy and Bryn are so incredible, so amazing, such big stories of success and triumph and overcoming crazy odds that if you try to, you know, fit into that group

and your story is not the same, it's extremely belittling to those two. It disregards everything they've been through and it's a story grab. And again, I don't know, but we haven't heard that. When we heard her backstory, there was no talk of that stuff. No, no, I agree. I think that at least the vibe that I get from Jessel is, look, I don't think that she has as, I don't think she started as maybe lower income as, say, Bryn and Sye have. I think what she's saying is that she built her life by herself.

Which is great. That's awesome. But you can't, after hearing those two stories to throw your name in that hat, it better be, and I'm not wishing this on anybody, but it better be as like crazy, heartbreaking. shattering, earth shattering of a story as what we heard from the two of them. You cannot throw your name in that hat. And I think, honestly, it's funny because you say, nope, like, Jessel doesn't know how anybody ticks.

She can't get a read on it. Nobody knows how Jessel ticks. We now know how Aaron ticks. Yeah. It is four episodes, five episodes in, wherever the hell we are. We know exactly how Aaron speaks. When she walked in, Aaron thought maybe she's coming in to apologize to me finally. Nope.

Nope. Completely off. Aaron is still waiting for an apology. Yep. for three or four probably different things that she has written down somewhere. Jess doesn't remember those things. No, Jessett doesn't care.

She's moved on. She doesn't see any fault in them, I think, is the difference. She's unapologetic. She feels like she's right. She will explain until she's blue in the face rather than just saying, look, I hurt your feelings. I'm sorry. Because she just feels like she has the right to do that.

And I'm sorry, but that is Princess behavior. That is straight up princess behavior. From what I've gotten from are not going to apologize. The word princess is not a stretch. No. From what I've seen out of her. Not to cut you off, sorry. No, not at all.

But that's, I get the same vibe. Like, when Aaron calls it out, I'm like, yeah, that's, that's the vibe I've been getting. And the way that she talks to other people gives off that vibe tremendously. Her husband. I told you, I said it episode one. No one listens to me. But she ends the conversation with, I don't have time for fake breath. Pretty much drawing a line in the sand.

Which is fine, though. And I think this is, that's why I alluded to this conversation earlier. I think this seems incredibly important. While it was somewhat cringy to watch, it was a little upsetting, a little uncomfortable, you watch two people on a show that just don't mesh, and they went absolutely head-to-head, steadfast in their own beliefs, did not falter in one way or another. Obviously, Jessel cried at the end, but they didn't budge. They just stuck with what they had, and they actually, that was like a very sort of passive-aggressive of an argument.

That was a very passive. Well, here's Aaron's problem. Aaron takes things too personally Aaron spins things into different narratives that aren't actually being said about her Like when when Jessel says Like I thought you support women

Or I support women Something along those lines I thought it was like a slight dig At Aaron But I thought it was a dig Like you're not supporting me Jessel not Aaron You don't support any women anywhere

And that's how Aaron took it I didn't see it that way I didn't see Look as weird and uncomfortable As the situation was I was firmly on Aaron inside pretty much the entire time from the Tribeca comment which could have been fine if Jessel's just making conversation she walks in she goes oh I hear this is an up-and-coming area

if Aaron was mad because she's not a real New Yorker or whatever bullshit that is then that's on Aaron whatever but Jessel doubles and triples down and she goes into it and starts explaining away and it's like no you're absolutely wrong there's no restaurants it's like it's Tribeca man there's a restaurant right next door like shut up but no it between that comment and then the women comment I thought that what Jessel was doing yes I don't think that she was trying to take a dig directly at Aaron saying you don't support women. I think in her own way, she's trying to support herself and put herself up higher and say, look at me. How dare you talk to me like that?

Not only am I back to work, which you did not mention to Aaron, I'm back to work and I'm supporting women. Yeah. That's me. That's me in a nutshell. Not like you're not supporting women. It's just this is who you're talking to. And like, stop, stop propping yourself up. Just say, oh yeah, I never mentioned that I, like it just made no sense.

Aaron was mad solely because Jessel took offense to different things that just didn't make any sense. Yeah, that's a good way to put it. It's weird. But moving on from there, we get Sai and Bryn. This is the chess scene. We've talked about it already, so we're not going to get too far into it. But I like this scene because throughout it, one, we get to find out about Bryn and her playing chess. And I can't say enough about her actually having the balls to, like, she admittedly is not very good at it.

Like, she sits down with Cy. I'm not saying she's bad at. She probably beat me if she plays a lot. But she sits down with Sai, and sigh beats her. Then she goes to this chess tournament and openly says, like, yeah,

I'm just going to get so trashed after this after I get kicked out of this chess tournament. We watch her play this dude who was probably so stoked to be playing Bryn. She probably walked in the room. He was like, oh, my God. Like, I'm going to lose to you on purpose.

Probably tried to lose. You probably did. But like, she doesn't know how, like, the machine works. Like, clearly it's her first time in a chess tournament, but I love that she's confident enough and comfortable enough in her own skin to, like, show up to that. I love that she dresses up, like, a Harvard law student, like, in her, like, sweatshirt

or, like, crew neck sweater. Yeah, she wants to be L. Woods real bad. Yeah, look. That's fine. It's totally fine because she follows through. Yes, the follow through is super important. If she had just sat there with Cy, whipped out some chess set, it would have been a funny moment.

But the fact that she said, yeah, I do chess tournaments. And we actually got to see it on film that she was in a chess tournament. It's awesome. That follow through cannot be spoken about enough. Absolutely. But back to the scene in the coffee shop, they're sitting there talking about Jessel and the fact that she takes no accountability, no ownership, all true. But I believe that it's within this scene that they figure out, like, oh, there might be more going on here, guys. Like, maybe we need to lighten up a little bit and get to the bottom of this instead of just dragging her for being an idiot.

Yeah, and I like that the three of them were able to sit down and come to that conclusion. Obviously, they had some laughs. They made some jokes here and there. but the three of them were able to figure out okay maybe there is some more going on Aaron even said look I'm going to show up to her party because I don't think that was her intention I thought that her intention was to come into the

coffee meeting the day before which a lot of coffee meeting right look I love coffee I would love to have a cup of coffee with you play some chess I would play chess I used to play chess when I played baseball like rain delays and stuff we'd break out the chess boards we'll live stream that but um stream shooter and steel playing chess

yeah why not but I love like to see that they were able to come to that resolution between the three of them where they're not just ganging up. Like, this could have been a completely different scene. We could have seen them turn into a faction where they just start making fun of everybody else. And then all of a sudden, they're talking shit on Jenna. They're talking shit on Uber, which, by the way, do not talk shit on Uber.

Nobody talks shit on Uber. She is. There's nothing wrong with Uber. Flawless. But you're going to sit there and finally come to the conclusion like, oh, yeah, she's got more going on. What can we do to help? Smooth things over.

Beautiful thing. How in the world is this not on every show? I don't know. It's a great scene, and I like that they get to that. Because I think you're right. I don't think that Jessel goes into any situation with malicious intent. No, I think that she doesn't read the room. Yeah.

I think she just talks way too fast. There's no filter there. Yeah. So we're on the same page, but we get to Jessel's event, and it's called The No. So it's launching the No. It's also launching her friend's designer company. It's a lot of who's who in the room, I guess. I don't know these people.

I definitely have seen the lady with the tattoo red dots on her face. I've seen that woman before. That's what Bryn said, tattooed on her face, and I believe she was the editor. Editor Vogue. Right? Seen her before, could not tell you what the other people were, but apparently they're all big names. So this is a big deal. Jessel showed up, showed out.

Good for her. I hate how she talks to Pavit. I cannot stand it. The man's like, yeah, he put a carrot in his champagne glass. Is it? Just having a goof. Yeah, whatever. It's just a goof, man.

Sounds like he's a goofy dude that's just hanging out. doing some weird shit let him go it's dragged for doing anything keep him happy come on man like let him have like he thinks he's being funny and cute and you call him embarrassing and say don't embarrass me in front of it don't do this in front of other people she did it with a smile on her face it was kind of snide but that doesn't matter that's like saying go fuck yourself with a smile on your face it's not better it's just like it's like polishing a turd still a piece of shit okay all right i just don't i don't like it it's just not necessary but that's when we get the scene of jenna decorating the Christmas tree with her, we find out they're her goddaughters, and Beckett, her son.

Love the name Beckett. I think it's a great name. I'm not just trying to give her credit everywhere. I just do, I genuinely like the name Beckett. Noted Jenna Lyons lover. I still love Jenna Lyons, but I am starting the, what you call it? I'm just going to use a rehab term here. They call it the pink cloud when you get out.

Everything's happy and fun. Pink cloud. The Geno Lyons pink cloud is wearing off a little bit. I'm seeing through some of the cracks, but. Rehab terms. Rehab term. Everybody learned something new. It just knew that I can't say anything back to that.

Yeah. So, boom. But this is where we get Jassel saying that she's like Cy, that she came from nothing, worked her way up, worked her way from London to come over to the States as an immigrant. And even Sye says, oh, I just assumed you came from money. Maybe it's the accent. I may be how you carry yourself. I don't know.

And it's funny that the other women in the group are like the ones that don't come from money. I would love for people to say I look like I come from money. Like Bryn says that, Cy says that. And then you got Jessel who's saying that she doesn't come from money. Then she might not.

Again, like we are not making basis claims. We do not know. I'm just saying to lump yourself in with those two backstories that you're on the same page, risky business, unless you actually have like a big story.

Look, I do think we're kind of leading down that path where we're going to get more on the backstory for Jessel because I think she's the last one. Her and Uber. Yeah, well, maybe that's what they're doing. but that's what I think they're doing. Pretty much rolling out, like, episode by episode, giving it enough space in between for things to kind of settle

and then letting them kind of take center stage and show it out. Obviously, Brins was way more public, which I think it just does more. It's more dramatic. It does more to kind of make you feel a little bit more. After the audience. Everybody's there, and it's a real moment. It's not just a confessional.

Yeah. But I think what they're doing, like, Aaron, while I think Aaron's a cool woman now, you can tell that her backstory is not super crazy and super, like, deep they had her do it in a professional same with jena like jena yeah she worked her way up she got to the top she did a great job but there's not a lot more there so let's do it in a confessional so we'll see with they're building jessel up to a group breakdown moment where she tells everybody her backstory possibly i think we could get that look this is what we do we sit

as long as she doesn't burn too many bridges in the process because at that point if she starts to share they're going to think it's a move yeah that's got to kind of break down and do it within the next week. But I think that she needs to do it next week because the last part of this is we get Aaron showing up and they appear to smooth things over. They both are like, you know, whatever.

We're not seeing out of eye on this. Like, thank you for coming. Like, I'm glad you came to support. And it was a big moment. Like, that was a potential momentum changer if she did or did not show up. By showing up, granted she was pretty late, but the fact that she's there at all

kind of shows Jessel one. And I know why Aaron went there. The only reason she even says it, It's just to show Jess that she supports women. I don't think she's trying to smooth things over. I think in the process of doing so was like, yeah, you know what, this isn't worth it. Let's just squash this. Let's move on.

She could be smoothing things over for the show's sake. I also don't, anytime that somebody's like, oh, yeah, I was a little bit late on these shows, production just held them back. I don't really care. It's not, like, obviously they're going to have her come in last. They're not going to make her going first and help set up and then do the whole smooth over without everybody else there. I thought that just kind of a side note to the rest of this, with all the important

names that walked into that room that we were told were very important names that I didn't hear until today. They were still filming Real Housewives of New York, like on the couch. Oh, that's a really funny point. There's a huge party going on over there, having a great time. Look at all these names. This is crazy. Isn't this wild?

Hey, we've got six cameras over here. We're going to still film our show. Everybody that went to that house knew that. So we might have a lot of big name Bravo fans in that room. I would imagine probably, yeah. But the final part of this scene is they start talking about Jenna and the fact that she is not at an event. Is this an activity worth missing the party for?

Absolutely. You don't see your son. You're decorating the Christmas tree. It's a family moment. You can miss this. He probably knows most everyone in that room. Without a doubt, which also is a reason she wouldn't want to go because she's going to talk to everybody. So this is a good out.

But at the same time, oh, wait a minute. Do you think that she made up that she had something to do? do on Thursday and then just so happened to be like oh we're going to decorate like that she decided when jessel brought it up that she didn't want to go and then figured out what to do that night so she had something to do or do you think that was planned for that night originally i would say the former oh yeah so yeah i fully agree with you actually now that you just said that because she said that she gets her son for two weeks out of the year yes but we see her at Aaron's anniversary party in the next episode and we've seen her at Brin's giving and we've seen her like,

so look, I mean, two weeks is a pretty big gap of time. I don't think that we went from one episode to another skipping a full two weeks. She's going to be at other events. She's going to be at work. She's going to be doing this and that. I think you might be right, actually. I think that, look, I just popped into my brain. My genius brain right here, but we get Brin doubling down on the double standard thing. And clearly there is one. And I think that it's been publicly talked about. amongst the group, but I like the idea of a Brin and Jenna beef without Brin and Jenna actually having any issues with one another. The group is causing the issue is because they get pissed off at Brin for doing the same

shit that Jenna does, but they don't get mad at Jenna. So I like that. There's a lot brewing now, and it all feels. I know. Yeah, there's enough there. There's enough there, right? So, like, that's why I think I get more excited about this show week to week is I'm like, oh, it's building.

You can see the drama building. But at the same time, the group is not in tatters already. Like, they're still cool enough to hang out, talk, laugh, have a good time. We need the good times. We need them. They are essential to enjoying the season. So if you're not watching and you're listening to this right now, like, please just watch it. Trust us.

It might take you a little bit to buy in, but it's good TV. It's a good Bravo show. Yeah. And at this point, you've got like seven episodes that you can just binge right now. Yeah. We all love the binge. We love to binge. Do it on a rainy day.

Yeah, do it on a rain. Do you know what? Hurricane season's coming in? Call into work. Yeah. We talked about hurricane season again last year. Hurricane season's coming and, oh yeah. I'll back off of that one.

Yeah, no, look, just take a day off of work and binge it. You'll have a good time. If you do that, I'm going to make you a deal. If you take off a day of work and you're not a Roney watcher and you watch the whole thing, we will pay for one door dash for you. that's a good deal we will door dash a meal of your choice to your house if one you have to take off of work to do this you have to show us the email yep we need the email of your sick day all right and then we will order you door dash but you also have to write

a small synopsis of the episodes that you watched not all of them just like a paragraph when you're done however many episodes you are going to have 12000 door dash orders to pay for i no no it's only one person's oh only one person all right i read the fine print guys Yeah, read the fine print. Don't speed through the contract. You don't know what you're signing. But that takes to the question portion of the show. So let's jump right in.

From Laura Conan Levine. Laura Conan Levine. I mean, I think I got that one. I've been better at names lately. Yeah, not that. Do you think all of the new Roney cast will make it to season two? Yeah, I think so. As of now, yeah, I've liked them all back.

If the only thing I could see is Jenna not wanting to come back, just based off of how we've seen her. And not even her actual life, just her inability to show up for things. Yeah, I think that stick around, have fun. Like, it just doesn't seem like she's having a lot of fun. I don't know. I still can't get a read on her. From PRD 773 says out of all the new Roney cast, who do you think would be the first to leave? I agree with you.

I think Jenna, yeah. But if you like that, I just put two questions into one. moving on that was good boom from cat about cat ballas they say they were friends previously but i don't think they were what do you think who i don't know all the running all of them i think a couple of them probably were some of them we know that brin and sigh are friends are friendly um jessel knows jenna erin supposedly knows jenna so i think there's some like inner workings there but i don't really think that deep down any of them are actually friends or I've had been friends for years now.

Aaron actually outed herself on a podcast saying that she did not know Jenna before the show. Yeah, okay. That makes sense. I don't know, but I also feel like it's, look, we hear this argument a lot, and I don't disagree with it. The shows are better when they are friends, when they have a history. 1,000 percent, I don't think anybody's here disputing that. I think that it's a dangerous game to play when you just want everybody to be friends. I don't think it's realistic as far as casting goes, because you're not going to get a group of women in New York

city like you got originally, right? Like, it's not the same atmosphere as it was when they started Roney, the OG Roney, because things are different. They're social media. These women are much more in the limelight than they were back then. Like, back then these shows weren't as big until they finally took off with Teresa flipping the table and all that shit. But now if you're a housewife, it's a 24-7 job on social media. Like, you're constantly under scrutiny. And I feel like a lot of women that are in groups of friends, it's hard to find six to eight like-minded friends in that space.

Like, yeah, let's all put our shit on TV. Yeah, and the flip side of that is, I mean, obviously what we have where they're not that close, and I think it's making for good TV, and you can allow them to get closer as filming continues, and we get deeper into the seasons. What I don't want is that in-between space where two or three of them are really good friends,

and then the other three are on the outskirts, because it immediately puts in a faction, and obviously they're going to talk shit on the other people. Yeah. So that's not fair either. From Babbs Taylor, am I the only one not excited for Mary to come back to Salt Lake City? No, you're not the only one, but you're one of the few. Yeah, I would agree with that.

From Marissa and Palma, this will be our last one. This is a great question. Which Philly neighborhoods would you place each of the women, i.e. errands in Tribeca? This is a going. All right. Like, for them to represent each area? Yeah, they represent a Philly neighborhood. I'll name them.

Okay. And then we'll go through it. So Jessel first. Jessel, I'm going to put her in. Tough one. Delco probably. Yeah. I'm going to put her in Delco.

I'm going to see that going. All right. Jessel's in Delco. Tough shit. Let's go. Aaron. Aaron is the main line. Oh, good call.

Great call. I agree. So far, you're two for two, only because Jessel and Delco sounds really funny. Yeah, that's where I was going for. Okay, Bryn. Bryn is Northern Liberties. I say like Fairmount. It's sort of, I would say the same thing.

Same vibe. Yeah, yeah. It's all the same vibe. It's a younger crew. They all go out. They have fun. There's bars everywhere, and they're always looking to go out and have fun. Yeah.

Okay. Sigh. Similar. Sy is tough. Um, Fishtown? That's still Northern Liberties to me. Oh,

Writtenhouse. I was going to put Jenna at Rittenhouse. I don't want to put Sye in South Philly, though. No, so I don't go to South Philly. Or Northeast or Rocks. You know what? You could put Bryn in South Philly and you could put Sye in Fairmount.

Okay, that works. Yeah. Put Brin in South Philly. We'll put Sye in Fairmount slash Northern Liberties. And then Jenna in Rittenhouse. Yeah. Do we miss one? Uba. Uba.

She's at the top of Liberty One in that swanky penhouse. That's where she is. Yeah, without a doubt. Yep. Mailed it. Right next to Joe Allen Bid. Joe does have a house there or at a partner condo. I don't know if he does anymore.

You know what they always party is Jean-George. That's where they go. Yeah. I didn't know that. Should we go like crash it one night? Yeah, why not? Just go like seven days in a row and we'll catch him eventually. We'll get in there eventually.

Yeah. Just keep trying to sneak under the red rope. Come on. Come on work. Come on. We're the guy. We're the brav, bro. You haven't heard of us?

Come on, Joelle. Joel, seriously. Come on. Come on. Come on. Am I running this into the ground? Yes. But that does it for us.
