Starting point is 00:00:00 Girl, winter is so last season. And now Springs got you looking at pictures of tank tops with hungry eyes. Your algorithm is feeding you cutoffs. You're thirsty for the sun on your shoulders. That perfect hang on the patio sundress. Those sandals you can wear all day and all night. And you've had enough of shopping from your couch. Done hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear up on that envelope.
Starting point is 00:00:24 It's time for a little in-person spring treat. It's time for a trip to Ross. Work your magic. Betches Media presents. Ha ha, laugh, funny. Mention It All. A Bravo by Betches podcast. We don't say that, but now we said it.
Starting point is 00:00:39 With Dylan Hafer. Who going to check me, boo? And Barry Rosenfeld. I need to start drinking alcohol. Now go to sleep, we. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of the Mention at All podcast. I'm Dylan Hafer.
Starting point is 00:00:51 And I'm Barry Rosenfeld. And happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Oh, my gosh. Happy Thanksgiving. A different Thanksgiving. than usual. You know, everything is a little different this year. But thankfully, we have Bravo and we have our new shows to talk about just like always.
Starting point is 00:01:11 So it doesn't have to be that different. What is your favorite Thanksgiving food to eat? Okay, my favorite Thanksgiving food, my mom makes biscuits from scratch that are like really, really good. So that's maybe my, like, personal. personal favorite, but I also, I weirdly like turkey. Like I feel like a lot of people are kind of like, I eat turkey on Thanksgiving, but it's not that good. And I'm like pretty into it. That's really great to hear. I don't eat turkey, obviously, because I don't eat meat, but I don't eat anything on Thanksgiving. It's always been one of my least favorite food holidays, which people would, I should like
Starting point is 00:01:54 duck for saying that. People are like, what? So because I'm, we're just very like non-traditional. We always have like our Thanksgiving, but then we always have, you know, like a chicken palm or like something on like a different theme. Like we usually have Italian food on Thanksgiving just because like, you know, whatever, as long as our families all together or whatever. We have to have something to eat for everybody. Plus everyone just wants dessert anyway. I feel like, okay, I feel like in the last couple years, I've started to kind of be like a little more like, who cares about Thanksgiving? not in a way that like Thanksgiving is stupid, but it's like you shouldn't feel like you have to do all the like
Starting point is 00:02:33 the same stuff everyone else does. If it like the eating the food, having a million people over it's like it's a glorified meal. Like it's not like. But that's what makes everyone want to do it because they don't do that on like a regular Thursday or Friday night, you know. Right. But it's like if you'd rather have chicken parm than turkey,
Starting point is 00:02:53 like make a fucking chicken par. Oh, we're going to fucking do it. Yeah. So we're recording this early. Obviously, we didn't wake up on Thanksgiving morning. I have to make a pumpkin pie tomorrow and I'm kind of stressing out about it. Okay. So funny thing. I saw you post that can of pumpkin whatever on your story. And literally I go, oh my God, what is that? Because I should know it's for pumpkin pie. It's like the classic Libby's pumpkin pie throwing in the can. Like that's what that's what you use. Yeah, I don't eat. Guys, I'm a weird eater. I know. But like, so I, so when I saw that, I was like, what is that? But because I'm not a pie person. I'm just a freak. Okay. I just like, when it comes to food, I love pasta. Okay. So speaking of Thanksgiving, we wanted to do a little fun, a little fun game, I guess, where we each are, we picked some Bravo liberties that we would have at our family Thanksgiving. Or I guess it just, it doesn't have to be like your family, but. Mom, dad. I have some guests. Oh my God. My mom would be like, who the fuck are these people? Okay. So we could let's go like one by one. So my first pick, my first pick was Garcel.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Okay. Because I feel like she would kind of get along with everyone and have, be really fun to talk to. And also she would be down to help in the kitchen, which is always appreciated. My first would be Andy Cohen without even like thinking that is who I'm having at my dinner table because he's just a mensch and like he'd get along with my my whole family and he can I feel lead a good conversation that's a good call I didn't pick Andy but I kind of feel like I should have everyone always forgets Andy as a Bravo Lab and I'm like he is the Bravo Lab okay my second pick is Kate Chastain oh because I feel like she would kind of spice things up she wouldn't be afraid
Starting point is 00:04:50 to maybe like get in maybe like started a little bit of drawing but not in like a toxic way just in like we want this to be fun kind of way. She would be like flirt with your uncle. Right. I feel like and I feel like if somebody was acting out of turn like I could talk shit about them with Kate and that is really necessary. Yeah, that's a good one. So I'm also inviting Sonia because when the dinner is done,
Starting point is 00:05:19 we are going to sit by the fire and have some cocktails and really just like get the family going, whether it be with karaoke or anything. The straw that stirs the drink. You got to have it. Okay, my third one is Jackie Goldschneider, just because I feel like she would just, she would have good conversation at the table. I would just enjoy her presence. She would be a nice grounding presence.
Starting point is 00:05:45 And, you know, I just like Jackie. It is what it is. So I was also going to pick Jackie slash Melissa, but then I was like, let me, let me not. I picking five is actually very hard. It's harder than you think. There's a lot of Bravo Lab. So I decided not to go with Jersey.
Starting point is 00:06:02 So I'm going with James Kennedy because I shouldn't even have a reason. But that's just going to be like pure entertainment. And also, yeah, just James Kennedy. The turkey. Yeah. Yeah. It's hockey. It's not about the turkey.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Okay. I love that. Okay. My fourth one is Portia just because I love Porsche. and she would be a great time, of course. Yeah, I knew you're going to have fours on your lineup. Obviously. Mine is Cynthia because I just love Cynthia.
Starting point is 00:06:33 We both have our same reason. It's really like, I just love Cynthia. I think she's so like, just a classy presence. And, you know, I just need to sit next to those cheekbones. So I would love to have Cynthia at the head of my table. I love that. Okay, my final pick is Ariana Maddox because I think that she would be a great. great time in terms of like conversation. She would help in the kitchen, all of that stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:57 But then also, you know, she can turn up and have a good time. And I feel like, I feel like Ariana and Kate Chastain would get along really well. I agree with that. I can see that happening completely. And which is funny that you say that because those are two people. I feel like who like don't necessarily like everyone like myself. Like we don't like anyone. And I feel like the two of them would be friends, which let's manifest that. This episode is brought to you by Prime. Obsession is in session. And this summer, Prime Originals have everything you want.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Steamy romances, irresistible love stories, and the book-to-screen favorites you've already read twice. Off-campus, L, every year after, the love hypothesis, Sterling Point, and more. Slow burns, second chances, chemistry you can feel through the screen. Your next obsession is waiting. Watch only on Prime. Okay, so my final pick, obviously, because I don't follow rules are I'm going to rotate.
Starting point is 00:08:03 There's three of them and I'm going to rotate them in. So you know. They each get to come for one course. Yes, you know I'm going with Beverly Hills with Erica, LVP, and Doree. Like I can't like, like, the three of them would just like be great and festive to have at Thanksgiving. Mm-hmm. So that's a rotating door. And we're going to be like, okay, time's up.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Thank you so much. Next. It's like speed Thanksgiving. I like that. Maybe I could do that for some of my relatives. You get one slice of pie and then you can go. That was so fun. I wish this was real because I would love to hang out with all of these people.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Maybe next year. Let's get into it. We have an episode of Below Deck and an episode of Salt Lake City to talk about today. Below Deck, it's not that I didn't enjoy it, but I feel like not a lot super happened this episode. I don't know. It's because for a bunch of 20-year-olds, I feel like they were more behaved than production kind of wanted them to be. They were kind of boring. Yeah, compared to the drama of our first charter, I feel like this one was kind of just like, okay, like they're drunk.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Like, but people being drunk doesn't automatically make them interesting. I mean, the most interesting about this group is that their names are Max and Dax or Pax or Lacks, whatever. They have like rhyming names. Max and Dax. I also feel like so obviously they were like drunk and young and whatever but because they actually weren't the most like demanding charter guests and so when we saw they did a beach picnic which a beach picnic has never gone smoothly on below deck that's just like that's just like that's just a requirement but like all this little stuff was going wrong with the beach picnic but the other than the fact
Starting point is 00:09:48 that they were like we're hungry they weren't really like mad about it so I was like okay whatever They had a shoes. It's fine. Right. But watching the beach picnics season after season, I'm always like, do you guys not have an actual checklist to go off of? Like I think Kate actually does. But for this one, they were like, oh, and this and this and this. I'm like, oh my God, this is not going to go well as a, but I mean, luckily the boat is just, you know, a few yards away, but it is still annoying to go back
Starting point is 00:10:19 and forth. Like who brings just two pre-made pictures of margaritas instead of the bottom. of tequila. Like, I don't know. It was just like, and then maybe forgot the shock glasses. And I was like, oh my God, this is a mess. Like if you were, and I feel like I have more faith in Francesca, but she is leaning heavily on the second stew. Yeah, it's the kind of thing where it's like, yeah, like, why is there not a checklist? Like somebody has done this before. It's not, it's not rocket science that you need like the pre-made drinks and the liquor and the shock glasses and the the limes like it's it's the kind of thing where like yes it's a lot to remember but that's their job right and
Starting point is 00:11:00 I love you know what I just thought about as we're saying this like hypothetically imagine they're listening to this and they're like okay so you two fucking set up for a beach picnic but we're like this is so easy you know you know maybe they maybe they could do a picnic better but I would like to see them host a podcast you know it's it's all relative that is boom roasted okay So I feel like what's happening in this crew is that it's like Eddie and Francesca both feel like they have kind of the team on their back. And like everyone isn't really like picking up this lack. And Captain Lee seems to agree with this because he kind of reams them out after the charter ends. When Eddie made a joke about carrying the team on his back, I was like, stop.
Starting point is 00:11:47 He was like my back hurts from carrying everyone on it. I was like, that's so funny. Yeah, Captain Lee is always, I can never read him in that sense. Like you know when he's mad, but it's like how mad is he? And it's like, are we actually in trouble? And it's funny because they got a tip. They got $1,000 each. We never usually talk about tips, but it's like into the average person being handed
Starting point is 00:12:12 $1,000. Yeah, that's great. But for this specific charter, you wonder if the parents just gave them the money. and it's like ahead of time and we're like here's the tip like those kids don't know what to talk about them like they're five years old but seriously like they don't know what's like good service level and whatever compared to like adults who do this often so i do wonder if their tip did reflect off of their work or not for this well and also the fact that i think a lot of young people just like aren't good tippers in general so i mean the tip was definitely lower than other ones we've
Starting point is 00:12:49 seen, but at least they tipped. I mean, it could have been worse. I think I'm not kidding. I think they have to. Like I think they like literally cannot not tip. It's like in the contract. Like so I feel like because in the past we would have seen a charter like not tip before, but they can't get away with that, especially on camera. That is, I can't even think about it. On TV, that would be a rough look. So they go out there. I, I feel like the one, not a ton happens, but I feel like the one thing that's worth noting is that James is like freaking out because he realizes that he has to do work for his job, which like I understand that like some people have like different reactions to being in situations like this.
Starting point is 00:13:32 But it's like I don't have a ton of sympathy for the fact that you're like expected to do work. No, I hate that. I wake up every day and I'm like I literally hope no one emails me today. Like I wake up and to do work and I'm just like, I'd rather not. But you know, I do it anyway. No, I'm kidding. I love my job. I do. Right. It's just like, it's like, it's one thing to say you feel a little overwhelmed, but not to be like, oh my God, like I didn't realize I would have to work.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Yeah, like he's wrapping up all the sofas and everything. He's like, oh, fuck my life. And I'm like, but that's literally what you have to do. It's not like, hey, do you mind going in and cooking a few lobsters? That would be different because that's not his job. But to make sure the furniture is covered while everyone sleeps, you know, that's part of the. mean things in the job description. But speaking of sleeping at the end of the episode, we see Shane who is just like, oh, he's so tired. He. Oh, poor thing. Talking about how it's really hard as a deckhand because you only get about six hours of
Starting point is 00:14:34 sleep a night, which is not that crazy to me, but whatever. I mean, obviously these people are tired. It makes sense that they're tired. But he goes down in the middle of the day when they're all cleaning the boat. And it's a little unclear if it's like a scheduled break or if he just like oversleeps or if he literally is just like, I'm going to go sleep for an hour. No, no. He was pretty vocal about going and taking an hour off. But not he like he was like, yeah, I'm going just like for an hour just to take a nap.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Like he thought, I feel like he thought it was much very much downtime, but that you're prepping for the next charter to come. But also like as soon as you. were finished cleaning, you could have probably taken a nap because the charter's not, they, like they're not coming yet. So the whole thing was very, what do you expect to happen once your boss catches you sleeping? Yeah, we'll see. And I love that. He's like sleeping with an, with a eye mask on plus headphones and like he is fully like, he doesn't want to wake up anytime. Right. Like he wasn't like, oh shoot, I fell asleep. No, no, you like, you, you set yourself up for beautiful midday nap.
Starting point is 00:15:46 I, you know, I don't know if I see Shane making it through the duration of this season. But Eddie also didn't wake him up. Like when his boss went to go find him, I think he was in such shock. So he. We'll see. We'll see. I feel like we kind of left on a cliffhanger. It's true.
Starting point is 00:16:03 We always do. Yeah, we'll see what happens with Sleeping Beauty, Sunshine next week. Salt Lake City this episode had a lot going on. We got some more Mary, which was interesting. Got a lot of Mary. Let's just dive right into Mary, honestly. I feel like that's my number one takeaway. Well, I really wanted to know why they waited three episodes to do this.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Well, it's interesting because way back in the first episode, you know, she was with Whitney and we got kind of the first mention of her marital situation. And at that point her attitude was kind of like, yeah, like it is what it is what it is. Like get over it. And then this episode, we kind of take a closer look and she seems like she has some issues with it too. Yeah. It's like it's almost like her first instinct is to be defensive.
Starting point is 00:16:58 But then like when you actually let her open up a little bit, she's like, yeah, this was weird. And there are, you know, problems. Absolutely. And we find out she was 22 years old. that she said when she married this guy and the fact that her mom wanted to be the one to marry him, I was like, oh my goodness. But that hearing that from her was very different,
Starting point is 00:17:19 which made me sad because it's like this whole world opened up and started judging her right away, including, we were like, oh, that's weird. We weren't judging her. We're just saying the situation was weird. But like that should have totally been like explained beforehand. Then the production asked her if they did sleep together that night. And she said she was very adamant.
Starting point is 00:17:38 No, no, we did not. And it felt weird. Like it almost was like she was uncomfortable at that age to be married to someone that much older than her. Plan B is a backup birth control option that's there for you when things don't go according to plan. It specifically works after unprotected sex and before pregnancy occurs by temporarily delaying ovulation. Plan B is available nationwide at all major retailers and through delivery apps like DoorDash. No ID, prescription, or age requirement. It's the number one OBGYN-YN recommended brand of emergency contraception, and it won't impact your future fertility.
Starting point is 00:18:19 That's Freedom to Be. Fuse as directed. It just felt like, I mean, because before we knew, we knew kind of what the basic situation was, but it had always seemed like she was like a willing participant in it, kind of. And then the way she described it this episode, the fact that she was basically relieved that she was on her period for the first week after they got married. so she didn't have to have sex with him. It was like, oh, that's, that's like a pretty major yikes to me that, like, you were relieved that you got to wait a week to have sex. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:53 It was like, I don't know. And now she's stressed about her son who has this girlfriend and she feels like he doesn't want to be as close to her. Like, there's some darkness in her, in her personal life. And I, it makes me sad. Yeah, bottom line is that she did this for her grandmother. Like him and loving him like that's a whole different story. Like she did it to respect her grandmother.
Starting point is 00:19:18 And then but with that comes a lot of other things. And yeah, I'm like at that point, it would have been like, here you go, mom. You could have him. That's what I would have done, I think. Oh, Mary. Mary M. Cosby. Yeah, Mary M.
Starting point is 00:19:31 I feel like she's going to take us on a journey and we're still just getting started. Totally. But we also, speaking of like marriages and everything, we also open up with, with, um, Heather. And, you know, she's prepping for this baby shower who we find out, you know, these five out of 20 employees are all having baby boys, which is wow. But she starts talking about her marriage and her divorce and she's opening up to the women. And I honestly, I was like, wow, I do not relate to this woman and her views to be honest. And I didn't want that to come off as like rude or weird. Obviously, we have different like outlooks on life.
Starting point is 00:20:11 But she said she, she, um, has never really been in love. She doesn't really know what love is. She kind of just overlooks that and married her ex-husband because he was Mormon, not because she was in love with him. And they were married for 11 years, which is, you know, a decent amount of time. But when she kept going on, you know, her, her talk about the right thing to do, whether and, and just more so you can tell she was almost like trapping herself, even Jen was like you would still be married to him even though you weren't in love just because you're
Starting point is 00:20:45 Mormon you know like people are trying to get through to her and listen if you feel some type of way that's how you feel but I just can't get on board with that it's interesting like hearing her talk about some of these excuse me some of these like Mormon kind of ideals of what a marriage is what a wife and mother's role is it feels like she you can feel kind of her sort of internal conflict about that this is how she was brought up. This is kind of what she knows, what she feels like she's supposed to believe, but that she kind of is struggling with whether that's how she feels personally. And, you know, because to say as a woman, like, nothing you ever do in your life is as important
Starting point is 00:21:28 as your role in the home, like, that's a major statement and something that I think a majority of people would kind of be repelled by. And so to be like, okay, this is what I've been doing for the last 20 years of my life, I don't know if I really agree with that principle. That's a big thing. And I think it's it's kind of, it's really interesting that we're seeing somebody on a housewives show really struggling with this because we don't, it's something that I don't think gets talked about at a time. Right. And you know she was saying, well, it's also right. Like seeing that just because you're divorce doesn't mean you're ever going to stop being a great mom. you know, but I think she looks at as big picture, like the whole family. But she, um, was crying at this point and she was saying, if I'm divorced, like, how am I Mormon? But it's like, you're divorce and look at you. You're still going on. Like, you can still do all the other things. You know, so it's just very complicated, I feel. And it's not for me to like preach. I don't know anything. Right. It's just like personally that's just, it's hard to, I don't know, understand other people's
Starting point is 00:22:34 like situations, I guess. I will say I kind of, I want like a timeline. of when all of this happened. Like the divorce? Sometimes when she's talking about her divorce. Yeah, there's sometimes when she's talking about it that it feels like, oh, and then there, like, in this scene, it almost felt like it was like really recent.
Starting point is 00:22:56 And I don't know kind of what the exact, you know, time frame is. Yeah, I know what you mean. I mean, hopefully we'll find out. I don't know. And then I want to, like, find out more, like with her daughters and whatnot, but it's like, is she willing to talk about it after? You know, I feel like at this point we would have found out more about like the situation.
Starting point is 00:23:19 We'll see. So we have another kind of little feud, it seems, brewing in the cast this week between Meredith and Jen, which we see developing unexpectedly over the course of this episode because we start out with Jen showing up to Meredith's house. Brooks and Chloe are there. And Jen, okay, so Jen seems to be like so loving and warm to Meredith's kids. Like they're her own. She says like you're my babies.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Like she's hugging them. First of all, Chloe is so beautiful. I don't know why she's in like a cocktail dress. Why is she wearing that? I know. I noticed that too. She looks like she's going to the VMAs. Meanwhile, Brooks is in like a hoodie.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Yeah. I have a lot to say a little bit a lot about. this situation because we all have those like family friends who come over and hang out with with you know the family so when brooks and chloe got so uncomfortable i was like wait do they know each other like what is happening like it was very weird and then i laughed out loud when brooks is like okay we have to go we're going to best buy i was like you guys are going to you're going a best buy what are you getting there like a vCR right and because i had already seen like we had when we had seen what Chloe was wearing,
Starting point is 00:24:38 I was like, oh, she must be going to like a party or something. After this, and they're like, Brooks and I're going to go to Best Buy. Oh my God, I was dying, laughing. Like, I really was. I was like, that is so funny. But I feel like they use it as an excuse to get out of the house, but they could have chosen any other store.
Starting point is 00:24:53 It was one of those things where, like, I understood why they felt kind of like a little uncomfortable around Jen. It seemed like a little extreme to me the reaction. in, but at the same time, like, I don't know, you know, exactly what, like, headspace Brooks is in or if this is, like, something that he's expressed before. And, like, Meredith says that he can be kind of, like, very particular or, like, whatever, I don't know. So, yeah, I mean, it's a tough thing.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Like, I've definitely, I feel like a lot of us have been in that position where we're kind of like, mom, like, I don't want to, like, I don't want to go over to this person's house or, like, something like that. Right. but fast forward this whole like sleepover and Meredith canceled with Jen because she wanted to spend time with Chloe. I'm sorry. Like at that point and then like she was talking to Brooks about how she felt and Brooks was very adamant about her not hanging out with Jen after her behavior. And I was like, I don't know. Like I feel like at that point Meredith could have been like it's I'm just hanging out. She's my friend. I'm going for the night. Like Jen didn't do anything that I was like appalled by. Not that I made. the rules. But it's like she didn't do anything that to point where Meredith has to stay home with her college aged kids to not avoid going to hang out with her. I do think it was it was the fact
Starting point is 00:26:21 that it was apparently Chloe's last night in town. It's kind of like, okay, that's like, yeah, stay home with your daughter. Yes. And I think Jen's reaction was kind of like, okay, just let it go. But at this point, Jen seems to kind of have latched on to the idea that Mary or that Meredith is like against her because then she finds out at this baby shower, which is pretty chic, by the way. I liked the baby shower. Whatever. So Jen finds out that Meredith went to Mary's church with Whitney and her dad. And Jen takes this as some kind of personal affront to her that Meredith would go to Mary's
Starting point is 00:27:01 church. And then later in the episode at Whitney's Prohibition Party, when she, when Jen walked, when Jen walks in, Meredith happens to be talking to Mary. And Jen takes this as some like, this backstabbing bitch. Why is she talking to Mary? And it's like, because you're at a party and you're all in the same cast of a TV show. And you made up with Mary last week to everybody else around you. You guys are on the same page and you're fine and you're moving on. And also at all of these things happening, like where Jen's like, oh my God, I feel so betrayed by Meredith. I feel like Meredith. I feel like Meredith there's no idea what's going on.
Starting point is 00:27:38 She doesn't know that Jen is mad at Mary. And also it's, it's, um, Jen feels like she's being attacked in the world. There's like, I want to be so bad, say to her so bad like the world does not revolve around.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Right. I feel like Jen has kind of like cooked this up in her head that it's like, okay, Meredith did this thing I wasn't a fan of. So now Meredith and I are in a feud. And Meredith is just kind of going. about her business and Jen keeps finding reasons to be like, that's shady, that's shady. And it's a little bit like, I feel like she's raised to the stakes above where they should,
Starting point is 00:28:19 where they would make sense to be at this point. Because it's like nothing, you can be like, sure, be annoyed with Meredith. Go talk to her. But like nothing she's done is like crazy or egregious at all. Her and Whitney and Whitney's father going to Mary's church was beautiful to watch. And like it was like an invitation. Mary felt really good that they wanted to come. She was excited to like for them to see that part of her world.
Starting point is 00:28:46 And like that to me, that is when I was like, Jen, that's not a part. Don't take that personal. This has nothing to do with you at all. Like at all. Right. Like she went to the church service. She didn't like join the church and give all her money to it. Like even if she did.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Even if she did. She's allowed to support, you know, but Jen also. I have noticed freaks out. Like we noticed this last week in her own bathroom at Meredith's birthday. Like she freaks out over little things. So I have now come like to learn that that's her way of like fighting or arguing. Yeah. I think she needs she needs to just like relax a little bit.
Starting point is 00:29:28 It feels like she is like a little a little too amped up about everything that goes on, whether it's good or bad. And it's like, you know, it's, we're three episodes in. You've got to just roll with the punches a little more. I'm curious to see next week, I assume we'll get some kind of confrontation between Meredith and Jen. And I hope that they can kind of like squash it because it feels dumb at this point. Like it does not feel like something that needs to be conflict. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:59 I feel like also Lisa wasn't really in this episode other than her going to get another like Diet Coke. and I was like, is this going to be like her new like spiel? Like she needs to go get like a fountain soda every time she gets in the car. Her son, her son who does not look old enough to drive. I know, but she got me a 44-hance diet Coke, easy ice with lemon. Yeah, they were. Yeah, I mean, that was great.
Starting point is 00:30:22 And he did look like very flustered while learning to drive. But when they were picking out just a little detail about this prohibition party where everything Whitney says, by the way, is so like, provocative. I'm like, oh, I feel like she's like trying to be so like, oh, but Meredith and Lisa are picking out Lisa's outfit. I thought this was so funny. And they're like this is set. This is 70s. Like the parties 20s. You can't wear that. Like this is not the 70s. And then Meredith comes to the party dressed in bell bottoms. And I was like, wait, hold on. Bell bottoms like are classic 70s style. And you just told Lisa she couldn't wear something because it was 70s specifically. And that was just like,
Starting point is 00:31:04 like, you know, a little minor fashion detail that I had to call out because it's just like what I notice. But Meredith's jewelry was 20s. And I think that's the only thing she cared about. She did. She has, you know, the jewelry. And I was like, I still don't see that either. But it was beautiful pieces. Oh, my. Yes. Whatever. We'll see next week how this party plays out. But of course, I'm interested to see where everything goes. Quickly, who is your number one Bravo Lab in the group, Barry? I'm going to give it to Whitney because I loved the fact that she brought her dad to Mary's church and she hosted this party and she is like really fun for me so far. And just a quick note, I'm not giving it to Jen because I've kind of am up to my wits end this episode with her and her Shaw squad. We can talk about that another time because that.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Yeah, I'm over that right now. Um, okay, I am going to give it to, I think I'm going to go to Captain Lee because I feel like he, I forgot about below deck. You know, we're still early in the season, but he sees some shit he doesn't like and he is laying it all out there. And I respect him as a captain. And I think he's doing what he needs to do. Also, how are his ribs? Anybody want to give us an update on, you know, I think the ribs are fine. Thanks for listening so much. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
