Bros & Shows - Trivia at Aubrey's: First Prize Goes to Miss Slam Pig (RHORI Full Recap S1E9)

Episode Date: May 26, 2026

What's up bros? It seems no one really knows what to make of the dust up between Rosie and Kelsey as we get wildly different stories from those two leading to a very funny Trivia at Aubrey's .... I mean Audrey's. It's a good showcase of the househusbands from Jared MCing the trivia to Bill listening intently to the best business proposal of all time ending with an evening with Rich in Boston. We're due to a massive all-group blow up and we see it coming. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I know I'm going to jinx it at some point I'm going to jinx it. But this train continues full steam ahead, another phenomenal week of Rhode Island, in my opinion. Are you trying to jinx it? You could just say it's a phenomenal week. You could just say it's a great episode. You don't have to throw in the jinks. I feel like you want it to be a jinks. I feel like the more I test fate, I'm confused.

It's making me question if jinks is real. I've been a very superstitious person my whole life, but I've said this for nine weeks. And here we are. It's still good. Maybe I'm testing fate. So if they fall off a cliff and it sucks, we can all blame you directly. Yes. Yeah.

Okay. All right. That's a big man there. I'm a big, big man. As there's a drive in a deep left field by Castellanos. 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. Bravo Bros. Good evening, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Bravo Bros. Your favorite podcast from the Bros.

For everybody, for whoever wants to listen, I'm your co-host, Steele Russell, joined, as always, by the one and only shoot a Maguda. What's up, dude? I don't know if I'm alone in this, but I was very surprised that not only was Rhode Islands, but Atlanta both on last night over a holiday weekend. This doesn't seem like what Bravo usually does. They usually just don't have episodes and don't tell us about it.

Yeah, I know. They have no planning or scheduling and then it's just like no episode. And then weirdly, there wouldn't be an episode next week for some reason. Like no if hands or butts, they're just like, yeah, we're just taking two weeks off. We're going to take one week off for the holiday and we're just, we don't feel like doing next week. You know how it is. I mean, Memorial Day weekend is a little early this year. They expected it to be next week.

So I wouldn't be surprised if next week's off because they just got wrong to begin with. That easily could happen. I would put nothing past Bravo. Yeah. Lack of scheduling, lack of promotion, lack of everything. If we go back,

lack of Miami. Don't. Don't. It's still a sore subject. I will never understand why that shows off the air. I blame all of you, honestly,

for not watching it. I don't get it, but I'm just going to, I have to blame somebody. Then make it make sense. Why is it? I know that the cost of filming in Miami is like astronomical. I know that's a big part of it.

You're telling me. that NBC Universal does not have the money to fund Real Housewives of Miami? Cancel, Beverly Hills and O.C. Take all of that money and put all of that into Rhode Island and Miami. No, honestly. Just fucking bolster these shows. I think we need a Midwest. We absolutely need a Midwest.

There comes Cleveland again. Yeah. I mean, I'll get there. Chicago obviously makes sense. But, you know, if it's too expensive to film in Chicago and you already have, Oh, God, I forgot that they're filming Roney right now. Oh, this is my point. Why?

Why? Miami's right there. You don't have to, uh, Roney. And then they have, who took the other one? They have competing shows for Roney now. What network took the other version? Oh, uh, E, I believe. What's happening?

Like, this is insane. That shows going to be better than Bravo's, Rody. Probably. Yeah, we can't watch Miami. Yeah. It's a, it's a real bummer. But you know why. Oh, C.

starts soon. Yay. I was just on the day night. That's exactly what I was going to follow up with. We thought we'd have the summer off. We'd be able to just relax. It's so funny too, because I feel like every summer we get to like mid-July

before we started doing Love Island and we're like, what do we do? And we start putting out like personal episodes or just like Q&A episodes because we have no idea what to do. And now we're like, ah, it's the summer. We get to, oh, fuck, it's OC. God damn it. Oh, no.

I don't want to do this. I don't want to be here anymore. You know what? let's just not cover OC. What do you say? I, oh, don't tempt me.

Don't fucking tempt me, dude. I would be, here's why we have to, honestly. They did the most outrageous thing this season. I could not fucking believe it, that they got rid of Katie Janella. You had Asian representation on the show.

You fire her. You go to Japan and you cosplay. It was fucking. Walking bananas, a bunch of white OC ladies walking around Japan, fully decked out as anime characters, the year after you fired your Asian representation from the show. It is so out of touch. It's hard to fathom. I do think that Vicky will buy us about four episodes. And I'm giving it four and I'm being very reasonable.

I was going to say that's generous. I think that's it, though. It's going to lose its charm very quickly because the rest of the women around her are not going to be doing anything and Tamara's going to Tamara. I don't know. Tamara was the only bright spot last year because at least she did her job. I had to watch the likes of Shannon fucking Bador. Heather's out the door right now speaking of doors. Who I don't even remember the fuck else is on the show.

Katie? I don't care. No, no, Gina. Gina. What do you mean, Gina?

What the fuck do I have to watch this show? Can we talk about? about, let's talk about a good show. Let's go to Rhode Island. We do this. We get into a spiral. We can't get ourselves out. It's like quicksand. We got to, uh, everybody felt the quicksand was going to be a much bigger issue. It is a big issue. It's called OC. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that is funny. You know, as a kid, I thought that stop, drop and roll would be a little bit more prevalent in my life as well. I thought it was going to be set on fire more often than I am. Uh, put sand, definitely. Uh, so yeah, those things. I'm pretty sure dare pushed me to alcoholism. So. Yeah, that's probably true. of a point. Anyway. Pretty cool. Hell yeah, brother. Well, anyway, we can talk about a much better show.

This show is fantastic. The cast is great. I'm seeing some things that it's not cause for concern. It's just interesting to see how this group dynamic works because it is extraordinarily clicky, but not in a bad way yet. I think I'm going to be okay with the click for a little while. It just to me, what it's giving is it's very, hard to crack into a group in Rhode Island.

Like, they're very tight-knit. And if you're on the outside of a group, they will back you no matter what, Kelsey being the main culprit here. Because Kelsey, in my eyes, is, I don't even, I'll try to explain it later. But like, the blind support for her, I can only chalk up to click. Yeah, maybe. I mean, I do think that Rosie overdid it with the whole click thing. I don't think it's that big of a deal.

But, yeah, it doesn't make any sense. sense as to why people are backing Kelsey, especially given what she did. I do think it is coming down to two people were there. We're hearing both sides of the story. It doesn't seem to add up. We like Kelsey better. So we're going to choose Kelsey's side or at the very least, like them staying neutral and not really picking aside is also kind of taking Kelsey's side because Rosie's like,

what the fuck? She's still talking about the square footage of my house that isn't even built yet. I don't understand what's going on. So I get where she's coming from there. But I think she did a little too much with the click stuff. But at the same time, I mean, uh, The mark of a good show is last week having a discussion about whether or not Ashley is even going to be good for the show. She's great.

I take everything I said back. This episode was enough for me. The whole scene at Audrey's was absolutely hilarious to me. And Ashley was at the center of it. And Jared was at the center of it too. Both were very funny to me. So they could stay. Yeah, big Jared fan.

Finally learned his name. He deserves me to know his name. I thought he did great this episode. And I agree. It's funny you said that Ashley stood out a lot for me this episode in a good way. And that's what she can bring to this show. She's this like neutral, awkward third party that just wants people to get along, but is also extremely emotional.

So while trying to calm things down, she actually escalates the situation, which is perfect. I love that character. So, yeah, I agree. I think she stepped into a big role today or this week. But let's jump in. There's a lot to discuss this episode. Obviously, it's the aftermath of the conversation at Rosie's. she's staging the whole house after Kelsey left, which I thought was funny.

And Kelsey calls Liz on her way home. And I knew this was going to happen. And it's very funny to listen to because she's telling her side of things. Completely disparate. Doesn't even mention the siren, doesn't mention coming up with the loudspeaker. She just goes, yeah, she freaked out and yelled at me. I slept with married men. I didn't get to the haircut.

I barely got in the house. And she said that, like, as I was walking out the door, by the way, because she's, she's a pussy is the vibe I was getting. and you just got Liz on the phone that's like, what? What the hell's going? I don't even know how to respond. It's such a funny scene too because no one's doing a really good job at explaining it. Like it's almost one of those things where we're talking to Rosie or we're talking to Kelsey and it sort of just goes off like a light bulb in their head.

Like, oh, yeah, she did say that because Rosie said a lot in a very short amount of time. So she was really just firing on all cylinders. But it's very funny to me that knowing these women are now watching this live. like, oh, so that's what happened. That is not even close to what you guys said. So now we can actually figure it out. So that's what I'm waiting for for the reunion, of course. And it seems like there's still blad, blood, wow.

Glad, bud. Yeah, blad, bud. There's still a lot of bad blood to go around because Ashley was on watch what happens live and she was talking about where she is. And she's like, obviously, I'm friends with Rosie. I do hang out with the rest of the cast, but no one, but yeah, I don't really see Kelsey. So that's still something fun to look forward to. Yeah, I saw the after show for this one.

just ran after this episode played. It sounds like they're in the same exact spot as far as Rosie and the group because Jo Ellen was, but the thing is, like in the after show too, the things that they pick on, it's like you're just looking for reasons because they're still talking about the $6 bottle of wine.

They're still talking about the stale cookies she brought. So it's like, all right, and you guys are trying to nitpick here. And that's where it does feel clicky to me. Because if you're looking for teeny tiny things all the time, it does feel somewhat clicky. And again, no issues.

Like, I'm not, they're not sequestering off, which is usually the problem with clicks. So I don't have an issue right now. But just something to keep an eye on. But anyway, there are some big allegations made in that phone call. Obviously, we've heard about this, this rumored basketball coach. We've also heard the rumor about somebody at her job. I don't know if we're going to get more information about this, but Kelsey continues to bring it up. Liz being Liz is still saying like, whoa, these are big claims that you're making here.

like what the hell is going on. So we move on. We get to Ashley and Jared. And have you ever been to a restaurant depot? No, but I've seen them a lot. And I've heard very, very good things, like the best possible things. There's one, is it East Falls? It's around.

I think it's around East Falls. There's always one that I can see. I think there's one like deep out 476, too, that you can see from the road. They're all over the place. I really would go in there. I'll take you. I have a membership, quote, unquote. Like, you can get the part-time deal to go in them.

Nice. It is so cool. Like, when you see the cool food things at restaurants and stuff, like the big chocolate bars and all that, you can, like you saw in the show, you can really go in there and get all this wacky, cool shit at like half the cost. So if you go to a restaurant depot, especially now with prices being so insane, you can get a membership there. And you can save a ton of money. It's even cheaper than Costco. So highly recommend.

Yeah, it's pretty incredible. They got a whole entire warehouse refrigerator full of meat. It's awesome. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah, that sounds fantastic. I'm going to have to invest in a second freezer for something like that. But yeah, you bring me along. I will take you.

It's actually really, really fun to go. But they're getting ready for trivia night at Audries. We are still trying to make Audrey's happen. I will say this. If this is what happens at Audrey's, I'm down to go to Audrey's more because I enjoyed my time there Aubrey's Audrey's whatever you want to call it

A, it's a B or a day depending on who you are but obviously they're trying to figure out they're going to invite everybody Ashley just wants to keep the peace so she's like yes of course I'm inviting everybody FaceTime's Rosie and Rosie didn't love this is like well if Kelsey's going

I'm not going I get it but at the same time this is what I don't want to see in a new show I don't want to see us not filming together I was lucky enough to have seen a picture of Audrey's with all of the minute. So as soon as she said it, I knew she was still going to go, thankfully. But I think I would have been in your world where I would be pissed off about that.

And we see a lot of that in this show. It's very funny because Rula makes zero sense to me still. She doesn't go to anything. She just refuses to go to anything unless it's the beach or her house, apparently, which we'll get to it a second. But when Rosie said that, I'm like, nope, can't do that. And same with Kelsey, you can't do this. we're not doing any of these things, especially your first season. Like, I get it if you earn the right and it's season six and you've been around long enough

and you don't want to go because you don't want to deal with it. We're going to have grown at it collectively. But at the same time, it's not that big of a deal. First season, you have to show up to everything. I don't know what you're doing. Agreed. I thought it was a bold move to say that. Obviously, it didn't matter.

She ends up showing up. And I did actually appreciate usually when we get a blindside moment like that where she's like, Kelsey is coming. You see the other person freak out. She didn't freak out. She was like, oh, damn it. So I was cool with how she handled it. But Ashley is left to try to figure out what to do. You could tell she's anxious about it.

And we get to Rula and at least you're having a little beach walk. I am, and I know she has the chance to get into my good graces because she gets made full time on this show at some point in the middle of the season. I am currently 100% out on Rula. 100% out. Yeah, this scene was a joke. I mean, it's really funny to me because I think the first or second up, episode when we go to that beach. It's like, what are we doing at this beach?

There's clearly better beaches and it looks like a New Jersey beach, which is even funny. Yeah, it did. But when they're walking, I'm like, this is such a setup. Amanda shows up and I know, you know, Alicia and Rula are talking about like pretty much more of the same. It's just like a continuance of what they talked about at dinner. Alicia's still not going to tell Rula about what's going on.

But Rula's got an agenda. She wants to talk about Joe Ellen. And as soon as she starts talking about Joe Ellen, who shows up at her hated neighbor, which we don't really know much about. And I didn't learn anything about either. Literally learned nothing. Amanda didn't even speak a word. I don't even know why we know her name.

But that was such a setup. That was a, hey, I'm going to be filming. Like, why don't you swing by? And then it'll give me something to talk about so I can keep going on about Jo Ellen and how she's got strained friendships left and right.

Everywhere you look, she's doing something. I thought personally when Amanda walked up, she was going to be part of that group text that we always keep talking about, which I don't even know if there is a group text, but I keep talking about it like that. I thought Amanda was going to be part of that group text.

and she was going to spill the beans. Like, oh, wow, Alicia, did you show her that video? That would have been really funny. Instead, we get nothing from it. We get nothing but Rula telling us what this neighbor's relationship is allegedly with Joe Ellen. She's like, oh, there's two sides to every story. Like, she did hurt dirty too.

I'm like, she didn't say that. She just said she hadn't talked to Jo Ellen in a while. Like she made a little face, sure, and I'm sure there's something there. We didn't get anything. And now we have to listen to Alicia who is trying to. to try to come up with an excuse not to tell Rula. That's why he's picking Rula's brain. Like you guys are happy, right?

Like you're figuring, you're figuring things out. She's trying to find a route where she doesn't have to say, hey, I saw this awful video. Meanwhile, you have Rula who's trying to defame Joellen. But everything she's saying, I'm like,

hey, your husband's cheating on you and she has the evidence. Like, I don't know what you're trying to get us, the audience to think about this whole situation. But we've seen your husband cheating on you. Like, I'm team Joellen. I'm not team Rula here.

Yeah, I'm definitely team Joe Ellen. I think it's also very funny that Ashley, or that Alicia is doing this rather, because it's so obvious. Like the video is Brian grabbing a woman's ass and kissing her for like five minutes, very clearly from last week when you guys know where Rula was, you know what was going on. And you're still trying to give her a pass. Like if I didn't love Alicia as much as I do and I didn't think that everything she does is incredibly funny, I'd be like, what is going?

Like this is this is delusion that I've never even seen before. This is more so just Alicia trying to squirm her way out of it. Like, ah, you know, uh, yeah, I got to go back to the group and tell them that I didn't show Rula. What am I going to say? Well, Rula and I had a really nice beach day and she was just singing, Brian crazy. And she was talking about how great their marriages. And I didn't really want to bring her down with that. I mean, we don't really know what's going on in that video.

Like that's very funny. I can see that all playing out. So I can't wait for that to happen inevitably. But I don't know, like, what we do with the rest of it. I don't know what we do with Rula. Really, I mean, she gets her own scene. She gets her own introduction. I'm still waiting for her to make a mark somewhere and it's episode nine.

So like, I don't really get it. No, I don't either. And that's kind of my point. At some point, I'm not giving you the leeway to make a moment. She's second chair, by the way. She's second chair at the reunion. Something must happen between now and the finale in which it's so earth-shattering. Maybe it's when the tracker gets involved because then she's going to lean away from

Brian for a little bit. But again, I talk about this every single week. When we extrapolate this into further seasons, if she's constantly trying to defend this fucked up marriage, this is what we're going to get always. It's not going to change. That's not a good housewife. And I still believe you. I still believe you when you say that Rula could be a star.

And that's crazy because she's done nothing in nine episodes, but I do think it's in there. I'm not going to wait forever. something happens, but is it actually going to be good enough for us to 180 on how we feel about her currently? Yeah, I don't know. Rula is like the Justin Herbert. She's the if man. If you just get a good offensive line, if you just get some good wide receivers, he's going to be the next big thing. We're waiting.

It's episode nine still got nothing. Been waiting and he loses in the playoffs every single season. So what do you want? Oh, boy. Well, the best part about that scene is it ends with Rula and a confessioner going, Alicia needs to take the time and not sweep things under the rug. Incredible. It's just unbelievable.

Ridiculous. Well, let's get to dinner. Everybody's there except for Rula and Rosie. And Kelsey comes in hot. Now, again, and I'm just going to point this out every time Kelsey's on the screen, it seems to me that she has flooded with insecurities. And her only way to handle those insecurities is to talk about. about them openly, but act like she doesn't care about them because she is the one that

has continuously brought up her relationship and the ongoings-ons about it, or ongoings, if you will. And this scene, she comes in and says, contrary to what Rosie said, I don't suck dick for a career. It's like, okay, what? No one was there for that conversation. You didn't have to say that part. I mean, you can't if you want, but like, you offer up so much.

it's just the way she says it is very funny like you could just go about this very differently and just say yeah i mean it was pretty crazy i was just trying to like recount exactly what rosy was saying to me do you believe at one point she even said to me that i suck dick for a career like how crazy is that instead she's like contrary to everybody believed i don't suck dick for a career i just do it for my own free will like what no one was talking about that you don't have to come in this way that's my point she comes in and offers up things but again like you see the group because rosy had talked to joe ellen and this was interesting because i do assume that that phone call was fine i think that they were nice and i think that when no one else is around i think joelan likes rosy but i think when she's with her

girl she's like oh i don't like that bitch like no no like i was just i send memes like it's not even that's serious like you know i guess i'm nice to her but i'm not actually i don't really like her guy That's the vibe that it gives me. And that's where the click kind of comes into the whole thing. Again, click aside, I will say, and I'm probably going to kick myself in the butt for saying this, but I'm enjoying the husbands. Like, they are kind of funny. The husbands have grown on me significantly.

I do think when we started the season, there were so many question marks about relationships, marriages, the husband's being kind of dirty and scummy. Yeah. But they've kind of settled in. I don't know if it's because we're seeing less or we're talking less about them. Maybe the girls on the show just kind of realize like, hey, let's leave the husbands out of this and just kind of focus on Brian who we know is cheating versus talking about, you know, what Gary's doing with his sister-in-law or, you know, what Jerry's doing on his boat or, you know, Billy, whatever Billy's up to. If the other bill is pushing Alicia out and not trying to pay or anything, what are those things? We kind of just slowed down on all of that and allowed them to show their personalities, which is fine.

I mean, it's sort of close to, and we saw this kind of breaking this way. It was kind of breaking towards the New Jersey house husbands where we're like, all right. Like, you guys are fun, enjoyable. But Bravo, please don't have like a husband's outing on a boat one day. We don't need to see that. That's not where we're watching the show. So I was worried we were going to go down that path. But I think that they've kind of settled in.

And I think it's a lot better. It's a lot more enjoyable for them anyway. I agree. But as we're getting through dinner, again, first of all, we get actual Webster's definition of slam pig, which is a promiscuous woman who's fat and ugly and some other things. Now, as we're sitting here, again, completely not addressed. Kelsey goes, do you think it's normal if you break up with someone if they still pay for your stuff?

Let's get into this. Okay, cool. Everybody at the table gives their opinion. Meanwhile, again, Bill's sitting right here. And every time this happens, I kind of feel. bad for Bill because he of all people is saying they're going yeah i don't think you really owes you anything i i think this is got and that was my whole point because she keeps harping on this like it was a 10 year relationship and look if you can get the bag from this guy and you can pay for your

shit by all means go ahead i have no issues with that whatsoever but you're acting like you know the payoff was the big house the payoff was 10 years in a mansion solo for six months out of the year with a full staff but again we get to see kelsey offer up something that nobody else is talking about about her life, which again, all that tells me is I'm insecure and I need you to tell me that this is okay. Yeah, and going around the pretty much going around the table,

everybody spilling out their opinions was very funny to me because they all have like different takes on it, but they're all like clearly walking on eggshells because they don't know why, I guess they're wondering why Kelsey even brought this up in the first place. Like, ah, you can kind of keep that one to yourself. We don't have to talk about that right now. But Bill's sitting right there is hilarious. I think he kind of stumbled through it, but you can tell where he is.

Like he doesn't want to deal with it. He doesn't want this guy to pay for Kelsey's life. He wanted her to move in immediately. She wanted to have her apartment free or whatever. They'll figure it out. But he doesn't want her to be like financially restricted to this guy in any sense. So when he said, I don't think he owes anything to you. I'm like, oh, I don't think that came out right.

I don't think that's what you mean. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt because we're kind of putting you on the spot right now. But you got to be careful about what you say. because it's starting to set a little derogatory. Ever so slightly. And, you know, to his credit, though, he does have to sit there and listen to things like, yeah, just have to go over there and suck his dick once a week.

It's like, ha, ha, ha. Again, yeah. Right, Bill? Right, Bill? Ha, ha. Oh, boy, that's tough. But we get to Liz and the Alicia thing about the homeless claim. Now we get to get everybody's opinion on the homeless thing.

Jerry is friends with Alicia, new Alicia growing up. He's like, well, I hung out at that house, like the grandparents house. Like, at no point was she even remotely homeless. Like, she always had a nice place to live. So I love later on the conversation in the car where we're trying to get to the bottom of homeless or without home. We can talk about that when we get there. But yeah, let's get to trivia night at Aubrey's and Kelsey and Rosie are both coming as we find out. Rosie finds out again, I will give her credit.

She didn't make a whole thing about it. She's like, oh, that sucks. I'm just going to stay away from her. Ashley has the whole thing planned out. As we know, plans always go well on housewife shows. Here's our table. They're going to sit over there

and never the two shall meet. We'll be fine. It's not a big deal. I love Jared thinking that he has any control over this where he's like, well, if it gets out of head, I'm going to shut it down. It's like you're not going to do shit. Jared is so funny.

The fact that like we watch them at Restaurant Depot planning the whole trivia night talking about how big of a night this could be for them. Like I truly don't understand the restaurant industry. if this is going to be a massive night for you guys, but whatever, to each their own. I hope it works out for you. Maybe because it's on TV too.

It was like adding the two things. That's a possibility. But I expected him, yeah, maybe he was going to emcee the trivia or he was going to float around and kind of like be the personality. He was cooking. He was getting things ready.

He was making his press of martinis. I know he emceeded. He did everything. This is what we're talking about. This is what we've been talking about with Ashley since day one. Take a break, buddy. Delegate.

delegate for the love of God delegate hire a DJ hire somebody to come out and do the trivia I know you're a personality and I know that like you were on The Bachelor and part of the allure of going there is to see you and Ashley I get that but you can do that by floating around you can do that by walking over and being like how how's your night going how's the how's the dinner everything good anything like you need to replace or whatever you don't have to do everything I think that's kind of what he's doing and I feel like that's what we're seeing and that's what we've been hearing from Ashley the whole time. It's like he just refuses to let up any power.

That's interesting. I didn't even think about that. That's true. You get to watch it in real time. He should be like Rocky and Rocky Six. You know, just walks around Adrian's and they. Yeah.

But trivia starts. And obviously, tensions are already high here. Kelsey's not there yet. So Rosie's able to tell her side of the story. And I knew this is going to happen. And it is still probably happening. Well, you can't take a joke.

I'm like, I personally didn't find the humor in it. I could see the argument for it, but I didn't think that Kelsey was trying to be like, ha, ha, I thought it was her trying to take a dig. But trivia starts and Kelsey comes in wearing a, I didn't even know what it said, Miss Slam Pig.

It said Miss Slam Pig USA, yeah. Miss Slam Pig USA is exactly what it said. And she, she thinks she eats with this stuff. Like she thinks she's crushing it. Do you think she's crushing it with this stuff? I think this one was funny. I think that the loudspeaker was not.

Now, what I think we're learning about her humor is it's very quirky and it doesn't make a ton of sense, but every once in a while I think she's going to hit on one. I thought this was a good one. I thought walking in there and owning it was the best way to do it and to keep it going, obviously, for the show, because now we're going to continue to talk about it. She could have walked in there with her head down.

She could have not gone. She could have done a lot of things. but she showed up and she had that sash made, which is very funny. That means that she's got a sash guy. Like, oh, hey, can you put this on there and put this on there? Oh, no, dude. That was like a Michael's peel and stick thing.

I have a feeling she's got a sash guy. I hope she uses the sash more. I want prop work from her. But I do think that this one was funny. I thought this was good because at least she's owning it and not just, you know, kind of moving on and doing the normal thing of like showing up and just screaming in Rosie's face telling her that she's wrong. And now that I think about it even going back to Rosie's house,

it's still incredibly funny to me that she had nothing to say the entire time, but she walked back in the house to be like, by the way, I did win that patched by and square. Like that's very funny to me. Like she does things either intentional or unintentional that are going to be funny, but I feel like she's going to miss on a lot more than she hits. That's a good way to put it.

I'm on board for that. And I do think she's crucial to the show. Like she's a big addition to this whole thing. And if that's how it goes, I'm okay with that. If we get like 80% misses, but every once in a while we get a funny one. Like, I'm on board.

But I did appreciate Alicia because I do feel like it's getting to a point with Rosie where it's like, all right, can she do anything right when she's with the group? And Alicia kind of gets that vibe too. So she goes over there. She's like, look, you've been picked on a lot lately. I'm sick of people picking on. You're like, how would they like if this was going on? And you get, I don't even know how to describe this.

Like, you get this weird overall interaction with everybody at the table. And it's Kelsey and Rosie. going back and forth. I love that the other girls are just like, you know what, fuck this. Let's get under the table and just hang out down here because I can't do this anymore. I'm down for that.

Like if this is a Kelsey Rosie situation and they go at it frequently and the other ladies are just tapping out of it, I'm cool with that. When it gets to be two one-sided like five-on-one, or I guess five-on-a-half of Alicia's playing somewhat neutral, it's not like I'm like, oh, my God, stop picking on the poor girl.

It's more so like, I want more. I want more out of this. It's kind of one, what is it? One note. Kind of a one note thing. Yeah, I get what you're saying. I also think that going into it, I fully expected a different scenario. But I thought that they did a pretty good job.

You know, somebody like Joellen, who was, it was very interesting to find out that Rosie called Joe Ellen right afterwards because they had no relationship. But I thought that Joe Ellen was trying to get the lay of the lands at the very least. So this is why when Rosie starts talking about the click behavior, I'm like, I don't really think they were being clicky because I thought they gave you and Kelsey both ample opportunities to explain what happens. And then once push came to shove and you guys started yelling, they recuse themselves. They didn't take a side. So I don't really see that that's much of an issue. Like, that's a very funny visual.

And it was very funny to watch play out. But I don't really think it was. I think they were letting you guys go one on one. And then afterwards, like in the aftermath, then they go over. And yeah, maybe people didn't come over to check on you. But they were still just trying to figure out what was going on and what you guys are even arguing about. Like that's really what it is. It seems like to me that it's the group trying to get to the bottom of what the hell's going on.

Like I think in the beginning, it was less, it was more just like disinterest. Like, all right. Yeah, Kelsey's going on about square footage. We're just going to let her go because we don't care. And we're going to see how Rosie handles herself and Rosie can handle herself. She needs Ashley to fire battles. So they wanted to see a play out. And I think more than anything, even Joe Ellen said this, I was happy to see that she stood up for herself.

You stood your grounds. You fought back. You got back at her. That's good. I think that there is a path. forward. I think that it makes a lot of sense moving forward to show that Rosie can stand out for herself. But I do think that Rosie's very quick to just jump back into the click thing because I think she's a little like jealous. Like she wants to be friends with them. She wants to be in the group.

And I don't really think it's a click mentality. I think that she's just very well aware that she's not really good friends with them like Kelsey is. Maybe it's the after show then because when I watched that it was very much like Ashley and Rosie and then everybody else. Yeah. Maybe that plus watching the show gives me a little bit of a different perspective. because with the Joellen thing, then I'm thinking because the way that she said, I'm glad you stood up for yourself, was kind of timid and like, yeah, yeah, I said that. And then she doesn't really dive back in to her having. So then I'm like, okay, did you not want everybody to know about the conversation as much?

Because you don't want them to think you're on Rosie's team because you want to be part of the group, like that kind of vibe. And again, that plus the after show, I guess gives me a little bit different perspective. But I'm glad that, you know, at least Alicia is trying to play neutral. because that makes a good, a good show because you have multiple people on this side, not just Rosie and Ashley, which means Ashley speaking on behalf of Rosie, which is going to get hold pretty quick. But I agree 100% with you. I think the star of Audrey's was Ashley.

I thought she was hysterical because of all the people to make a scene, Ashley decides to make a scene and starts yelling. So can we just have a normal fucking car? She's walking around. a plate drops on the floor she's getting out jared takes notice he's like what the hell's going on he's like can you go in the office and cry yeah right out here but it was just overall a very chaotic very funny scene nothing gets accomplished rosy leaves early and that's it but wildly entertaining high entertainment value from uh from very high now we get to alicia and bill for one of my favorite scenes ever in the history of me watching bravo tv this was fucking phenomenal and he needs

to get that poster board and put it in the clubhouse forever she asked bill hey come inside you got a presentation bill's asking his daughter why you're wearing sunglasses she's like shut up dad get in the fucking house we got some shit to talk about we go in the house there is a what i can only describe as like a science fair poster board that that's what she described the nice yeah oh she did i even hear that part. So there you go. Maybe I heard it in subconsciously. We got the science fair poster board and a PowerPoint that is not hooked up to the TV because she doesn't know what an HDMI cable is, which I love. She goes through the reasons. This also gave me a much different perspective on Philly, by the way, like significantly

in a good way. But she goes into all of the reasons why she should be a part of Pizza Mama. And I loved her ideas. But the thing that I loved the most, and we'll go through each idea, is that Billy took her seriously. And that spoke volumes to me because if he could have brushed it off, he could have laughed at it. He didn't. He sat there.

He listened intently, gave her responses. Number one, what made it different than any other place, Billy, fucking the chandeliers. It's the chandelias. No other places to do shandleas.

Two, hot pizza. We're going to do hot, not still Valentine's Day. It's like a gift. Five dollars more people will pay that. Three, gift box on the pizza. What about a red bow for Christmas? Four.

I actually love this idea. Mama's notes. Remember I put a little note in your lunch? And her daughter won up and you're going, yeah, I was like, this isn't my mom. She's never wrote me a note before. I was like, that's really funny. But the whole thing, now in uniforms, uniforms is the last one. And then we have her daughter modeling the uniforms, which is very funny.

You can't break out of the accent. It's so hard. It's so high. Give me a crack. I'll calm down. But I love this scene. I loved Billy's response. I love that she.

And this is clearly residuals from her dad and him leaving. She is so not trusting of Billy or of dudes in general. So she's like, look, if you die, as she's saying, I'm screwed. Bill's like, yeah, you and our daughter, you get everything. And she's like, I'm screwed. He's like, wait, what? No. He's like, I'm going to be screwed.

And it's because you don't trust me. And he's like, what are you talking about? Just said that you're getting everything. What are we doing it? All right. well, I just, I got so much momentum right now. I talked to Rula about this whole thing. She really jazzed me up, uh, uh, 10%.

What do you, what do you think about 10%? Yeah, we can, we can make that happen. We'll figure it all out. Let's, let's implement some of these things. I love your ideas. Like he was just being very supportive and I appreciate that because I think, even though it was very funny and it looked very simplistic, I think she put her heart and soul into that presentation.

And I think he recognized it. Celine obviously recognized that she was fucking hilarious. I mean, when she's like, When she was getting ready and putting her sunglasses on in the bathroom, she's like so hot, so hot. And then when they open the poster board, you see the chandeliers that I'm like, what are the chandeliers about the baby?

But in the right corner, it said so hot up there. I'm like, did she read that and then just like amplified that back in? And now she's going to go talk to her dad about it. The whole scene was just great. It was absolutely great. I couldn't have expected more from Bill who has completely risen in the ranks

as far as the house husbands go. And I do think that again, And this is still, it wasn't something that we identified early enough, but it's definitely what Alicia's going through. It's just her journey. I mean, she just doesn't trust. She doesn't know what's going on. We didn't know what the hell was going on.

You guys have been engaged for 10 years. You're not married. You're worried that you're never going to get married. Other people are talking about it. But we find out that it's mostly on Alicia's side. So they'll figure it out. And I've got the utmost faith in them. I do too.

I just, I can't say enough how much I love this scene. And him saying, I've actually set you up with like a money manager because I know you don't know how to handle that stuff. She's like, oh, great. So he's in control. So I'm still on control. Great. Thanks, Billy. I'm like, no. He set you up. You're good. Yeah. He can die and you'll be fine is what he said to you. But yeah, lovely, lovely scene. Handwritten contract, 10% of Bill's share. And she even throws in there if I work. If I work, I'll put that in there too. So she's got integrity. And we love integrity around here. But we move on Ashley FaceTime's Rosie and Rich is performing. He performs. He

performs in South Boston every weekend at a place called Capo, which sounds like an old school, like Italian crooner type bar, like the Sinatra vibes. I love that she references the 45 minutes away. She's like, because 10 minutes are a big deal in Rhode Island. But I didn't realize that Rhode Island was that close to Boston. So I learned something new. But of course, Kelsey's not getting an invitation to this whole thing, which in a nutshell, I'm okay with, with, yeah, leaving people out for now.

You know, it's just like, I personally think that this one's fine because this is a way more intimate type of situation, like sitting at a table, watching your husband sing. Like that that's a different thing than going to trivia night at Aldreys. I agree. So I'm okay with the omission of Kelsey. I don't want it to happen frequently, but this time I'm good with it. But we get to learn more about Rosie and Rich. And we get to see a, I guess a music video. Is that what you call that?

It reminds me like a fine. Remember Vine? Yeah, I was getting like, uh, like, 2011 Jason Moraz vibes. Oh, wow. That's a high praise for rich. Deep, deep, deep pull high praise. But that's, they met when he was DJing at a radio station like 10 years ago or something like that.

And she loves the guy and they're going to, uh, to watch and perform Sinatra. And everyone else is invited except for Kelsey, like I said. And we head to go pick up Joe Ellen, Alicia and Liz. I love the charcutory in the car. I love the inability to get a way wildly impractical to bring an actual charcutory board. Alicia's response of should we have maybe thrown something in like Tupperware or something? Yes.

I don't. Yeah, probably. But even that sounds awful. But yeah, I mean, this is going to be a fun ride for you guys. 45 minutes. It's going to feel like two days of travel for you, Rhode Islanders. And you're going to have a charcutory board on your lap, the entire time. Good luck.

Dare I say carcudery? Yeah. I don't like that. Actually. I don't like that word. Dare to dream, buddy. Thanks, pal. But they touch on the,

the Kelsey thing that she's not invited, but the real discussion here goes to Alicia, and she's talking about her dad, and we got a quick scene with her and her mom, which was sad. You know, mom's like, I married the wrong man. I'm really sorry to you.

Confirming that her childhood was kind of nuts, which I never doubted that part of the whole thing. but it does get us back to the homeless conversation. And Liz is trying to be nice, I guess she's like, I want you to look at me, look at me, okay? I wasn't trying to be insensitive when you said you were homeless.

You have a beautiful fan. I lost my family home. Yes, we know, but you weren't homeless. Alicia trying to, because in so many ways, like, I understand where she's coming. I get what you're saying. I lost my home,

was forced to move. with my grandparents. I don't have a home. I'm living in someone else's home. Therefore, I am homeless. Yes. My favorite part of the whole thing is Alicia's inability to understand what Liz is saying.

Like, when you think homeless, you think somebody sleeping under a bridge on a cardboard box or something like that. And she's even saying, in America, this is what homeless means. It will not crack through Alicia. She's like,

no, you don't get it. And you're dissecting. I would love a word. count of how many times dissecting was said. It had to be over 20. It was easily over 20. I don't know why this is such a big deal.

I think I love it. I'm not really sure how I feel about it because I think it is hinging on how they react and if they keep doing it and we get absolutely nowhere, which it seems like we're getting absolutely nowhere. We're going to have to ditch it at some point. Like Liz is just going to have to move on. I don't think Joe Ellen wants any part of this. She's just mediating at this point.

But Liz really wants to get her point across. It really offended her deeply that Alicia thinks that she was homeless and she really needs to get that across. But Alicia's never going to get it. She is absolutely never going to get it. She's living in her truth. I'm waiting for her to say that. I'm waiting for that line to drop at some point. Like living in my truth, you can't tell me what my truth is.

You're not in my head. I do. I truly do believe that she thinks she was actually homeless. But she doesn't care what the definition is. She had one home, then she had one less home. So she was homeless. That's how it works in her brain. That's how she got that.

there and that was it. And that's all that really matters to Alicia. And there's obviously more issues underneath of all of that that lead down to the dad and lead down to her mom and all of those things that are distrust of men afterwards. Like I'm sure that's at the core of everything and that's why she's refusing to budge. But we're going to have to ditch it at some point because Alicia is never going to understand what Liz is saying. And I can see Liz getting very, very frustrated and just not talking to Alicia anymore.

I agree. And I don't want that because I really like those two together. We've seen them butt heads a few times now, but it's usually over pretty quickly. Yeah. I think the big thing that's going to come from this and we get scenes from next week, I think Joe Ellen's going to take the brunt of most of this because Liz was getting pissed off that she was in her ear. I think Alicia and Liz have done this enough times that they'll squash it. And Liz, I do think we'll be able to drop this whole thing.

She just wanted to get that out there. And I think she got more pissed because of the things that Alicia was saying in return or she's like, her go-to is all your true colors. I see your true color. You're a snake. You're a fucking snake. I see you now. I see you for who you are.

Give me a fucking cracker. But I think that they're going to squash it. I think Joe Ellen's going to catch most of the shit here, which is very funny because she was trying to calm it down. But I agree with Liz actually, where Liz was like, she was saying all the same shit at dinner. And now we're in the car. And I think Jones is trying to defuse the situation.

But I can see why Liz would be pissed. And I think they're going to. end up budding heads. I think for longer than an episode is my, yeah, my prediction. Yeah, I think that's where I have a hard time wrapping my head around it because I see

what that is. Like I understand that Gary was also saying and he was like, oh, I guess, I don't know. He was, he was on the heels of what Liz was saying. So he was definitely just trying to say,

yeah, I was at her grandparents house all the time. And Joellen was co-signing, I guess. That's pretty much it. Joellen didn't really have a whole lot to add into it. Gary was the one who was talking about it. So I don't really see an issue in Joellen not speaking up here because again, I think it's a dumb issue and I don't really think it's something to argue about.

But Liz and Alicia are so close that it is that type of dumb issue that they're going to argue about. Joellen getting into crossfires, it's just inevitable. It's going to happen. Liz is going to take it out on her because she knows not to take it out on Alicia because Alicia won't handle it right. So she'll take it out on Joellen because Joellen can handle it. And I think that's going to be pretty entertaining. I don't know if it's going to lead to anything else, though. I don't either, but I will say, obviously, Liz is quote-unquote scary.

I think if you push Joellen, I don't think Joellen will back down from that, which I actually kind of want to see them go back and forth a little bit because I think that Joellen can handle it. I could be proven wrong. We'll see because Liz, you know, she's a formidable force for sure. Yeah. But that's kind of two of your heavy hitters that are tight that we wouldn't normally see them button heads this early. I'm actually down for it. I want to see what happens. And I think that

that's also indicative of just this show as a whole. It's like things can turn on a dime with these ladies. And I fucking love that. Well, let's see what the audience has to say. Let's do it. All right. First up here from Andy Dorman. Liz has got to let this homeless, not toothless situation go. Yeah, I agree. I think she's going to have to let it go at some point regardless. Not yet. This was still funny. Not yet. Yeah.

From Marissa and Palmer, would you rather Trivia Night at Audries or watch Rich perform at Capo? I would like to see a clip of Rich. Apparently, he's really good. So I would like to see a clip. But yeah, from what I've seen, he is pretty good. But I'd still rather go to Trivia Night, I think. Yeah, that was a great scene. Me too.

I drank for free at World of Beer in Florida because I want trivia every week. Yeah, it's not good. But it's their fault. The winner would get a $100 gift card. And I won every week. And I got free beer every week. But they don't sell any like Cors light. It's all like fancy IPAs.

IPAs. You know, it's not my vibe. Not your vibe, though. Still dreck them. From J. Bay the Hut 713, think Joe Ellen's neighbor will be on next season? No, I don't think so. Probably not.

But perhaps. It was a weird drop in with a name tag for a very uninteresting scene. And that, like, again, I'm so dumb with Rula. Yeah, I agree with that. Speaking of Rula from Janice Ingram 360, why is Rula even here? She's on certain episodes of after show giving her opinion, but not on the show. I don't know. Something's going to have to give at some point.

Yeah, the whatever happens has to be so monumental that it just shifts our entire opinion of her. I don't I truly don't see that happening at this juncture not nine episodes it'll be 10 episodes in or more but we'll see uh jacklin michelle crest is brian laughing at alicia because she's funny or making fun of her i think he was just laughing at some funny moments i don't think i thought he was very genuine in that scene i was actually impressed yeah it also wasn't brian but yeah that's not your fault that was jackland's fault get your husband's right yeah um yes from uh a z Roxy 63. Why the fuck is anybody siding with Kelsey? I agree. Nobody should be signing with Kelsey. All of her stuff has been very peculiar and very interesting. I think they

just don't know Rosie. They're not friends with Rosie. So they're giving her the benefit of the doubt over Rosie. I don't that's that's all I got though. Same. And it's it's it goes back to what we led the show off with. I just think that it's hard to crack into there for better or worse. They're loyal to a fault. You know, and that that does make for really interesting scenes. But it, It could wear thin if it's just blindly taking Kelsey's side because she's so erratic at times. Like we can't always side with her. I'll say that way. The end.

From Beck Gibbo, was it hypocritical of Liz to tell Rosie not to prove her point when Kelsey was wearing the sash? Yeah, it definitely was because we know where Liz stays, Liz is friends with Kelsey. So for her to tell Rosie to not get involved and not prove her point was kind of wild. She came in. She came in with the sash. She was on one. She deserved to get a little talking to. Yeah.

If you're going to walk in with a sash, you're opening yourself up to a response. That's how these shows tend to work usually. So. Yeah. Yeah. That's again where the clickiness that I felt at least. From Jennifer 612, do you think Billy really does have a plan in place to make sure Alicia is taken care of?

I mean, that's hard to say. But yeah. I don't think he was lying to her. Obviously, we don't think ends and outs, but I think so. They have a daughter together. I think she's fine. He doesn't seem like a piece of shit or anything. He seems like a decent guy from all the scenes we've seen.

Everybody loves Billy. Even all the moms of these ladies love Billy. Yeah. What's the one that you have saved for the end? Go for that one. I think I know which one it is. From R.M. Lays, what's your favorite cracker? Oh.

Commercial cracker. Like, you know, when you go to giant pig of hawks of. Triscuits count? I was going to say Triscuits, but it has to be with cheese. Like a Triscuit by itself is very dry. A trisket with like a honey goat cheese is always really good. That sounds lovely. I also got a hot honey.

I mean, rits are great. Yeah, Ritz are the, are the number one always. You know what's underrated? What's that? Good old-fashioned saltine. Yeah, I feel like the saltine show. did bad marketing for saltines. That's a good point.

That's a good point. Yeah. I see a saltine and I just want to cramped seven of them in my mouth. I agree. And the last one I can think of, underdog here, oyster crackers. Oyster crackers. Somebody said that actually because, and this, oddly enough, somebody else also asked. Someone said oyster crackers?

Yeah, somebody said oyster crackers. Yeah, H.M. Falkner said, what's your favorite cracker of choice? Been on an oyster cracker kick since Freud. Hey, I love that. go. Oyster crackers in soup are unmatched. Yeah.

Give me a New England clam chowder with a fucking oyster crack in there, dude. Hell yeah, dude. Mix a little Manhattan in there? I do like a Manhattan clam chowder, actually. Yeah. I was surprised with how good it was. Yeah. But you get so stuck on the New England clam chowder.

It's just like so consistent. You know what I mean? Yeah, I agree. Yeah, Manhattan's pretty solid. But, uh, yeah, another phenomenal week for Rhode Island. Can they keep it up? All signs point to yes because we know what happens

at some point in this season. Yes. And we know how big it is, right? We're going to see Rula's husband get arrested for tracking her. And that has to happen soon-ish. What do you think the run of show is on this 14? Yeah, that was nine. We have the mid-season a couple episodes ago.

Probably, I would say 13. They're going to do like a weird 13, the same as Soho. So I would say next week or the following, We're going to get that. So look, they can easily tie this up as one of the better premier seasons for a Housewife franchise. I hope I'm doing everything I can to jinx them, apparently. But I have hope for these ladies.

I think they can take it home. But that's all I got. You got anything else? Nope. Well, that's our show. Brov Bros are out of here. The war is over and both sides lost. Kingdoms were reduced to cinders.
