I'm Ronnie and guess who I'm with. It's Ben. Ben came home. Hi, hi Ronnie, how are you? Good, I'm Mr. I'm so glad you're okay babe. Thank you, thank you so much for covering for me while I was out and thank you to everyone who sent me so many kind messages. Excuse me, I'm like, I'm not joked up.

I just have to laugh a little in my chest right now making me sound like I'm very joked up. I had to pen to side us last week that came on out of nowhere, which I guess is how it always happens. So I spent really the second half of the last week in a hospital. So thank you to everyone who sent me a message and reached out. I'm doing great. And yeah, I just have to not pick up anything for six weeks and I think we'll be all good. So thank you.

Well, hey, you got that covered. That's, I can be, they can be even lazier. I think both of us are kind of the king of not ever picking anything up ever. So you've got that you've got that medical advice down. Listen, it was really hard without you. I'd also like to thank all the people who didn't send me a message. You know what the fuck? I know that Ben was going through things.

What do you think I'm going through? How about one more of you says, what are you doing here with that bone, Ben Rinda? I couldn't even go to the fucking home goods. I'm not even lying. A lady came up to me at home goods and was like, is Ben okay? How dare you? How dare you?

This is like one time to be recognized at a home goods. Okay? I'm just kidding, Ben. I miss you. I miss you too. And, you know, first of all, I think my surgeon's wife may listen to the podcast, which is very cool.

So, hi there, wife of Dr. Bronstein. And if not, then I just had hi to someone who doesn't listen, which is not very strange in my life. But also I was really happy because the whole reason why I came east is because my boyfriend Dominique, he choreographed a new musical, uh, and version of the great Gatsby, and they had the premiere last night. And I was so worried that because of the appendicitis, I was not going to be able to go to the premiere. And luckily, I was able to go.

And I was just, the reason why I mentioned that this is because if it ever goes the broadway, everyone should just gather your tickets because it is so good. I was like imagining you, Ronnie watching it, and you like listening to the ballads and just like sobbing. It was so good. I was like imagining you Ronnie watching it and he like listening to the ballads and just like sobbing. It was so good. So I just have to give a big shout out to the great Gatsby as well. Yeah, the great Dom'sby. Congratulations, Dom. He did such an amazing job with the choreography and one of the one of the cast members, Sarah, is also a crap ins listener. So you know, it's so cool to find everyone Sarah played Myrtle, by the way, which is very important. But it's just cool to see crap ins listeners, you know, in all sorts of random places. It's so cool. But it's, but I just honestly, I just wanted to give a giant

giant shout out to that show and to everything and everyone goes to use it. Yeah. Yes, that's great. A couple more little shout outs to start. Thank you to Ryan Bailey, who came and filled in. I hope everyone goes to use it. Yes, that's great. A couple more little shout outs to start. Thank you to Ryan Bailey who came and filled in. We did a bonus episode that's available to the public, but we did a bonus episode just catching up because I am obsessed with that guy. He actually talked to me into going to Bravokon.

I'm going, suckers. Ronnie is going. I'm going, Ben can't go because he already had made plans at a different point. I made a blood pact to not go without each other. And guess what, I'm violating Ben can't go because he already had made plans that made a blood pact to not go Without each other and guess what I'm violating the blood pact So I'm okay. I'm a board person. So I'm going. I also don't know if it's like the smartest thing for me like a week out of

An epindectomy to like throw myself to Las Vegas and the madness that happens there So I think it's it's okay. I'll you know, I'll see everyone next year Well, I don't know if it's wise for me to put either of us in that situation because that is going to be a lot of bravo people with fists. Yeah. Post that that can punch us at any moment. So looking forward to that. But yeah, thanks to Ryan. Also, my friend speaking of Ryan, my friend, our friend, friend of the pod, Rebecca Leib, who hosts Ghost Town podcast. She co-hosts that with Jason.

That's a spooky podcast. Mm-hmm. And it's October, they're doing a three-part episode on the shuttle mommas and all the outness that has gone on there. So that's a three-part. They have Ali Luber coming on to that one. So go listen to Ghost Town and check that out. We love you Ghost Town. Hope you're great over there. And today,

I just, I wrote three main notes down for Real Housewives of New York. Their first reunion, so congrats, ladies, on getting your first reunion down. Here are my notes. Poor Aaron, poor Aaron, poor Aaron. Wow, really felt for Aaron. You know, Aaron is quite a victim of this real housewives of New York reunion. Poor poor Aaron, what you gonna do? What you gonna do? Seriously. Amazing Technicolor Dream Co. Really? Okay. Go, go, go, Joseph. Seriously? Um, yeah, I'll just come out and say it.

This sucks. This first episode sucked. I'm sorry, I'm saying it. I am living in my truth right now. I'm not afraid to say it. I know people, I'm saying it. I am living in my truth right now. I'm not afraid to say it. I know people, they're, I'm just starting like this. I don't care. I don't want this to be a podcast

where people who love a show come here and then we shit on it. But guess what, I'm doing that. And I'm okay with that because I'm just gonna say I had my appendix out and therefore I also lost the part of me that gives a shit about people getting upset at me that I don't like real house What's in New York? Because Here's the thing here's why I'm why I'm angry

All season long people are like no, it's really good. It's really good. You should watch it It's like you you're LeBan get over the fact that it's not like Luana Ramona Give it. It's don't like this. It's just different. It's a new, you bend, get over the fact that it's not like Louanne or Ramona. Give it a shot. This is just different. It's a new thing. Get over it. And I'm like, I like look, I just don't think it's that good. And then it starts to get like, okay, like an angle.

It starts to get okay. It starts to come together. And I make this whole proclamation on the bonus episode about how I'm coming out of the closet saying, I officially don't really like this season, except for really jessil. And then the show starts to improve. And then I feel like shoot. then um and then the show starts to improve and then I feel like shoot now of course the show starts to get better and guess what then

here comes this reunion and it's like no suck and I'm like aha I knew it I knew it all along except for jessil. Well they really do lean into just crying all the time and I get it and you know they do have reasons right I mean they are they do have reasons, right? I mean, they have legit reasons. So it's not like any of it, I didn't want any of it thinking, oh, God, we are crying about this again. But at one point I did text bed and say,

there's literally five people crying about their mouth right now, it's like five people, crying about that. Now, is the pain real? Of course it's real. They all have like horrible things happen to them. But I don't know. I don't know.

It's one of those segments where I'm like, wow, this is supposed to be fun. At some point, I mean, I get crying a little and then there's other things. But you know, I did it. It's a lot of it that I'm just not into. But I didn't dislike it as much as you. You know, I do see some promise here.

Uba keeps kind of promising things, but she's promising not that much. And then she's making promises you don't want to hear. It's like if you ever want to hear promises from your boyfriend, and then they're like, I promise to eat a big back every other week. And you're like, but that's not the promise I was looking for. You know what I mean?

And by that I mean like yelling at Jenna, or not yelling at her, but getting pissed off at Jenna about something weird that we really cares about was, and then she doesn't follow up on it. And then she's like, oh no, I just meant that like you should be stronger. And you're like, well, who but who?

Not what you meant. That's not what you meant. Yeah, who but're like, well, who but who? Not with you, Matt. That's not what you meant. Yeah, who but is like, look, I don't have to like, try it out all the things. I've done it so many times this season. It really is disrespectful. I do think to the people who do enjoy the show. And I actually, I'm genuinely happy for the people

who enjoy it because I'm like jealous. I'm jealous that you guys are enjoying it as much as you do. I just think that the think that Bravo and production tried too hard to make this about a group of people you want to be friends with, and that's not what the Housewives is about. They tried to be like, look at this great group of women

who are just like doing, they're just like amazing, and they're just like sexually liberated, and they just do amazing things all the time, but they're real and they're relatable because they have all these issues. And I'm like, that's fine, it's just not what I'm signed up for. I want Campy Bullshit. I want the can people shit. I want whatever's going on in Salt Lake City.

I want more of that in my New York City. And don't tell me that there are two different things because the principles of a good show are still the principles of a good show. And principles of housewives are still principles of housewives. You know what I mean? It's going to be different, different flavor for every city,

every different group of people that you get, but it should still be fun. I require a lot less. Just make it fun. And you know what, it started out where it looked like it was about, first of all, you can't have Aaron leading a fucking cast and expect it to be fun.

Okay, now there's where I'm gonna never stop pounding. I can't wait for the first thing. But, you know, it opened with the promise of fun because we see Uba's, well first, the first thing we see is Si. It's reunion day. It's like, oh God, that open with Si. But then we see an Uba text message flash on the screen

and it says, I'd like to kindly request that you refrain from intervening during my conversation with Karen tomorrow. Spelled K, E R I N as the internet calls Aaron, you know, so we're like, ooh, Ubisoft's angry. Ubisoft's finally like, you know what? I'm here to make a show. We're gonna do something.

This is gonna be a salty, salty reunion. Everyone buckle up. Roni is finally arrived. But also, Uba, that's her group text we find out. This is her group text to everybody in the cast. You can't warn them what's coming. You know what I mean? Like we don't need a warning. You need to show up and blindside somebody. You don't give somebody a warning like here's what I'm coming you after you with tomorrow. I'm going to call you Karen. No. Then, then, then,

then Jenna's text is, uh, sorry, who is Karen? I'm like, Jenna stop apologizing while you're engaging in in a text fight. Sorry, but is that someone on the show? I'm not sure. Have I met Karen? I'm so sorry, Karen. Did I meet a Karen? Is there a Karen on the... I'm so sorry. I then Aaron responds by saying, I will not be slandered by you. I have done nothing wrong. I've done nothing to you, which by the way, honestly, you know that Aaron has written that to so many people in her life. Like, it's not just Uba. It's like, it's postmates. It's like her brother. It's like anyone. She has to say this to many, many people. I will not be slanted. Your door dash is 10 minutes away. I will not be slanted by you

So then then it will be respond by saying Ketan you better pray to your god tomorrow or you come correct So Brent yeah, I don't know so it's like enters Seems like there's like be a fight. It's exciting. Yeah, it seems like there's gonna be a big fight I'm still not really sure what Karen did, but I can't wait to find out at this point, right? Like I'm actually excited. I was like, why have they pulled it off? So then Brynn comes in and she's like,

Oh, man, did you not answer? You're the one who's like, yeah, she's gonna tell Karen, make a big home. Oh, which is where I'm gonna do. Anyway, I find her. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna do any All right calm down. It's like six in the morning. We just get our hair done So it's a nine-amovagina yeah

So she so she's like um do you think that she's like regretting all the mean text like the shit that we dealt with on the group text only long it was like hot tub time machine from hell times to via text that makes no sense but I thought I'd just throw some things together that sounded kind of cool. I'm Aaron the great repeater goes hot tub time machine from hell is exactly what it was. I don't get why wait wait so did you guys travel to a prehistoric period where you're almost were trampled by like a mastodon what happened why was the time to hot tub time? No, and I didn't see hot tub time machine, but I was like wow amazing that they brought up a movie that I have no interest in seeing as their reference because I was like yeah I don't want to see that I don't know what like, yeah, I don't want to see that. I don't know what they're referencing

and I don't want to see it. So now Uba comes in and Brinn is like, she's like lots of shit this week. So they're team up that Uba's going to be on a rampage. And that like this nice group of like gals of like girl bosses that we've seen all season. Now like the cracks have appeared, they've seen how like, you know,

there have been a lot of people like me, by the way, I'm not the only one, okay? Not the only one. What? We're homing eyes. Listen, they're in there. No, no, no, no, no, no, but I'm saying that like,

there are a lot of people who also think it's mediocre and I feel like they've read this and they're like, okay, we're gonna show them that we have a spot here in Bravo, we're gonna come in here, we're gonna have a reunion. I mean, Andy's real excited, he's with Uba and he's like, hey, Uba, you're pretty upset. That's why we do it with our unions,

we're gonna work through it. So he's like, you know, chomping at the bit, chomping at the bit, which I learned from Ben here on Want What Crappens. So he's like, he's getting all excited about it. And then Brinkas, it's not going to turn into fine club, is that? It's like another movie reference. Fight Club and hot tub time machine.

She's like, I'm going to be a gone girl. Yeah, I'm in a fincher sort of place right now. I'm some real a gone girl. Yeah, I'm in a fincher sort of place right now I'm so my old selfies choice That's probably too classy that movie I know that's a little That's a you know what it's gonna be like me versus the volcano No, I don't know what I don't go all seven on us No wonder why you don't film with it. I was like, oh, I was seven on us. You know, the only reason why you never saw my house all season is because it's a real

money pit. Wow. Now, that was a film. You know, that was when Shelley Long left Cheers and she's like, I'm going to be a movie star now. And then she did like money pit with Tom Hanks. I was the only one who was like, wow, that was a great move that you made. Because you're gonna be a movie star forever.

You know, she'll be long. Her movie career was not that bad. I mean, outrageous fortune. She was in a movie with Bet Midler, so already that's a good move. No, she was, yeah. And she was in Hills Cookies or what a Beverly Hills girl's got.

Beverly Hills. True Beverly Hills, yeah. And then there's Hello again, which is not a great movie but seal award is in it so that matters and um seal of approval not gonna award her all can we get seal award for the crappies this year last year year was Linda Cartelini. I'm not. Yeah, let's try and see a reward. Last year we tried Lea Thompson. She ditched us. Just don't follow her on Instagram, by the way. Sorry. Both of us there. And we tried for Christina Applegate and for Linda Cartelini. I don't know where you just like to tell me about the Christina Applegate is going through a lot. However, no, no, I have no leanies

not so fuck her. No, Christina Applegate's representative got a lot, however. No, no, I have no leanies, not so fuck her. No Christina Applegate's representative got back to us. It was so nice. Totally, it was totally great. It was totally cool. Oh, thank you, Christina Applegate. I hope you're doing well. Yeah, Linda Cardellini, not in the same boat. You're not in the same boat.

Linda Cardellini, yeah, they're in the end. Just want to say, J.K. everybody. Okay, so let's get back to this because really this needs to be five minutes song. Okay, let's wrap it up. Sorry, sorry that we're providing content that's infinitely more entertaining than the actual reunion itself. Listen, there's an extra or you need to bring out your Cilla word content. And this is that bay.

So lightning bolt. Okay, so um, brand... My god, this is a sealer ward, sisters. I love that show. Puppet, we have to get our children into a private school that sealer ward went to. Just to rub shoulders with anyone related to sealer, am I right? I love her mattresses. Oh, that's silly. By the way, did you see Povid? He came out with his review of the Bond May. He did like a travelogue and it was so like serious and awkward, but he had like little shade in there too. It was, I don't know, I just

loved the whole thing. It was great. Yeah, he had like a, who doesn't like cheese, am I right? It was weird when he did the video coming back and he was sitting next to a sex worker. I was like, wait. Okay, so then the rest of this intro is just like previous of what's gonna come. So let's just like fast forward to the start of the reunion with Andy Cullen. Hi everyone! Tonight I'm joined by a fresh group of powerful, intelligent, dynamic women who I can say with confidence have no idea what's in store for them today, especially gentle lines. Who is besmirching my so far with jeans?

Wow, gentle lines. I'm gonna pretend like I'm not insulted, but I'm a my so far with jeans, wow, Jenna Lines, I'm gonna pretend like I'm not insulted, but I'm a little pissed. Oh, also, I've never heard Andy introduce anybody like that. But what the fuck kind of intro is that? Amazing, dynamic, intelligent women. Like when no one else has had that kind of an intro, usually he's like, both.

Welcome to a bunch of rubber face vocals. We want that obscurity just to piss people off for ratings. Well, I mean, to be fair, are you going to like sit down with the likes of like Theresa Judis and Melissa Gorga and say, welcome to some intelligent and dynamic women? I think this is the first time he really has a chance to say it. I think this is the first time he really has a chance to say it. I think this is the pitch for New York City. We're going to redo New York, but the reboot,

we're going to feature intelligent dynamic women pass. I've just, this is what I need to be in that work executive just so I could say pass, okay? You know where I love intelligent dynamic people in my life, okay? Not on my television. Not on my television. So. So. Hello, ladies.

Hi, Aaron. Did your dad give you any advice for tonight? I'm like, well, that just shows how bland Aaron is that like Aaron, and he had to make some bizarre like deep cut to a random moment about her dad. And she's like, yes, Andy, he did. He said, be strong. Okay, cool.

Well, hold on a second. I'm getting you. Actually, I was just publicly mocking you for calling your daddy after you got in a fight with somebody on the national TV, but okay, take it like a serious. Hey, if everyone's really quiet right now, we can hear Bethany Frankel making a tick talk about how you just sold her phrase, be strong. You know what? I talked talked to Aaron the she's father Let me tell you that kind of needs protection. All right, let me tell you something

Let me tell you something she steals my my tag. I don't care I don't give a shit she steals my tag line, but it just shows once the reality once the reality carousel starts going You can't get off you can't get off you start saying things that's the only thing. That's one thing You got it. We got to get whatever information. Okay reality reckoning trade marking tag lines. Okay, what I'm saying. We gotta get reaffirming information, okay? Reality reckoning, trademarking tag lines. Okay, the stolen gold. It's gonna be huge. Hey, hey, okay, Jenna Lyons, I have to tell you, in hundreds of reunions,

never seen jeans. How do you feel not wearing a semi mesh golly-o-lo-hove sort of thing that has white paisley over your boobs. How does it feel like not dressing like an ice skater in hell? How does it feel dressing like the audience right now? Jeans. And she's like, wow, you know, well, I, um, uh, Jeans, I'd like, um, you know, uh, jeans, so okay. Thanks. It's time for commercial. It's time for a crapence commercial!

Watch what crapens and winter is crappening of a funniest recap podcast, but if you want something more eerie, try the new podcast Ghost Story about my investigation into a murder suicide in my own family. Ghosts aren't real, at least that's what I've always believed. Sure, odd things happen in my childhood bedroom, but ultimately I shrugged it all off. That is, until a couple of years ago, when I discovered that every subsequent argument of that house is convinced they've experienced something inexplicable too, including the most recent inhabitant who says she was visited at night by the ghost

of a faceless woman. It just so happens that the alleged ghost haunted my childhood room might just be my wife's great grandmother, who was murdered in the house next door by two gunshots to the face. Ghost Story, a podcast about family secrets, overwhelming coincidence, and the things that come back to haunt us. Follow Go Story on The Wandry Out wherever you get your podcasts.

He's like, what's going on with Jenna?

She's like, I'm going to get Jenna. He's like, what's going on with Jenna? Because she's like, I'm going to get Jenna. He's like, why? And he goes, what's the difference between TV, Jenna, and real Jenna? And she's like, TV, Jenna is poor, me, victim. And the real Jenna, she's some powerhouse, but she's, you know, I was like, okay, I'm interested to see that play out. All right. It's interesting. To Jenna. She's like, yep, I'm, I'm in jeans. Faker. I love by the way, I love the Jenna war jeans. I love that she just like, fuck this entire process. I'm wearing jeans. I know what I know my look and I don't care what the memo says. This is what I'm wearing. I mean, I get that I'm not really a fashion

gay, you know, but I do think it's kind of contributing to the downfall of housewives. If you're just like, I don't have to, I don't have to, I can do whatever I want. No, you don't show up in fucking jeans. This is real housewives, but I'm ball-gown. I know you're different. I know you're like wacky and crazy.

I'm so flogged. You need to look insane, okay? This is a housewives television show. I'm not gonna wear jeans. And also she's, well, I mean, I'm not saying pants like where some I don't know make an effort Dude fucking jeans and didn't she wear this in her opening or she wore it the same outfit somewhere else I've already seen the outfit. I don't know. I was happy. I'm supposed to love my casual queen queen I don't love it. I'm oddly enough that Jenna lines apologist so you know take it for what it is so

I'm oddly enough a Jenna Lyons apologist, so you know take it for what it is. So meaning my opinion. So then here comes Si. So like, hi Si, you look incredible. Let's address the elephant in the room. Have you eaten? And she's like, I did. I brought my own groceries today and they show like she's earlier in the dressing room. She's like literally there and like unpacking milk, et cetera.

Ronnie's split. So those were just hired to say, yeah, I just, you know, keep trying. So, uh, and he's like, okay, good. You got groceries. Hi, chance for you. Look beautiful. And, Marvin, I'll be big out tonight. And she's like, absolutely. He said I looked like a glorified garbage bag. And I said well that's good because I'm married to trash.

Alright. At least I don't try to find bond me at the bottom of one. So, uh, say hi, Bran. And of course she's like, hi daddy. How are you? We're putting for Diddy. How would you describe your look tonight? I think I'm a little sexy pilgrim. Say, Lou, which child meets only man? I did not understand what was going on with Bren's look. Okay, this to me looked ridiculous.

I feel like this is one of the, like a bottom five reunion dress. I don't care if I'm not a fashion gay. It just looked strangely baggy with a little like joily trim, the lace trim, I don't know, the whole thing looked, looked like. It was very like child Easter, but like funeral colors. It's like if your grandma died on Easter.

Well, I shouldn't say that because your grandma did die. Okay, I didn't mean that. That was an honest mistake. But I mean like if like someone in your family passes away on Easter and you have to go to a funeral, so you're wearing an Easter dress, but it's also black. It was just, I didn't understand. It almost felt like retro, but I didn't know what she was going for. And it distracted me the entire episode, in fact.

So last but not least, hello, Uber. And she's like, save the best for last, ambi. And he goes, okay, hello, how are you, Uber? And she's like, first, I wanna say, I love each and everyone on this stage. It's like, oh, you're like, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same. I mean, you were just backstage like, fucking Jenna. Yeah, I know.

Fucking fake ass Jenna. She's like, let me open by saying, I love you. Even the fake people who didn't have my back. But for me, this has been very, very scary experience because my last job it was, you take a picture and that's it. And nobody knows your voice. Nobody knows your name. And nobody knows your voice, nobody knows your name. And now I actually have to represent myself. And so it's just nice knowing that

I'm going through this with these girls. I'm like, so way to go, Bravo. Casting someone who doesn't know how to express themselves on camera. Great. Love that. So he's like, so guys, how do you feel about being the new crop of the real housewives of New York City? And he's like, you know, you had some big shoes to fill. And you did a great job. What's been the reaction from the fans? What's been going on in your own minds, Jenna? How about let's start with Jenna.

And he was like, wait, wait, wait, did you just say we did well? He goes, yeah, yeah. So Jenna, he goes, you did great. You did great. I'm like, okay, and he stopped it. Stop it, stop it. Okay, enough of this. Stop trying to sell us.

We've seen the whole season. Yes, some people love it. But honestly, stop trying to sell us. This is the best shit that Bravo has ever put on because it is not. I'm sorry, it is not. So, Jenna's like, well, everyone is trying to compare us to the other woman, but they were great. I'm like the other women, but you know, and they were great

I'm sure I mean whoever watched him. I didn't I wouldn't recognize him in a lineup But you know, they're fine, I guess, but you know, we're not trying to be them. We're just trying to be you know people who love jeans, you know, and I do so I love a NASA Washington D It's what I'm trying to say Well, I'm glad you're not trying to be us because you can't. We're all right cons. We're pop culture okay? Sorry, sorry. So Andy's like, wow that's sweet, that's sweet. Okay. So New York region no one is being tough as nails and Aaron is no exception. Okay, Aaron, hold on, this would be a nice thing. Aaron is tough as nails, so tough that when someone took her sunglasses off, she cried.

And would have called the cops if she could have. So from taking care of three kids to running a business and keeping Abe satisfied and massively gaslighting the entire cast every single episode. There's nothing this homegirl can't do. Keeping Abe satisfied, I just... There's nothing this homegirl can't do except being interesting on camera. Okay, let's watch. Just the... From the...

There's nothing this homegirl can't do. Keeping Abe satisfied. the from the there's nothing this home girl can't do. You think gave satisfy us like how much cringe are you going to fit into one freaking intro. So then we see the Aaron scenes or whatever. And we come back and he's like, so I heard you recently moved because the entire world is making fun of try back after you made an ass out of yourself there. So what's up with that?

I love it. So you live in like a brown stone? And she's like, yeah. And like, eventually I think we'll make our way, but for now we're in a rental and we're in opt-out. I say, huh, I've been going, cool. Did she say why they moved after all that Tribeca to, oh, she could be closer to her family or something?

She said to be closer to her kids school. I mean she said that in an interview, I think. That's right. Yeah, which is just I mean, I don't know. I don't know. He seems weird, but it's it's more to it. There's more to it. There's more to this. There's something. There's a mistress in try back being made fun of. There's a mistress and try back. I'll say it right now. Mistresses do not take cabs. We all know that. She's like, I'm gonna move one mile north. She's a regional mistress.

But I'm gonna go, she goes, so you got rental uptown and she and he goes up and coming and she says, very up and coming. Like she literally still just repeats the last thing she was very up and coming. And she's still just repeats every the last thing she was very up and coming. And she's not a parrot, guys. She's not a parrot. So, I mean, what's more happening?

And Jussel says, I mean, right now, Trebekah, Jussel's like, because I made it happening, and he goes, yeah, I was like, and I was like, oh my God, you're joking. She's, no, it was literally, I was like the most tweeted thing when I said, oh, it was Tribeca up and coming. Therefore Tribeca was made up and coming by me.

Don't you understand? She's like, I know, but like seriously, you don't think you made Tribeca happen, right? Like you didn't, like you really didn't just say that, right? Okay, humorless fucking Aaron. Is anybody gonna explain to Aaron that it was a joke? I mean, these people are just staring at Aaron like, how do you even start, you know?

Where do I even start with this person? It was a joke! I'm like a whole not lady. It actually takes size, size of all people to say. It was just a joke. So Aaron's like, well, that's what I was asking were you asking me a joke? And I thinken's like, well, that's what I was asking. Were you asking me a joke? And Jess was like, no, I didn't make Tribeca happen.

I didn't build Tribeca. But then I'm like, wait, Jess will actually think she might have made Tribeca happen because now she's making it very literal. Like, I didn't build Tribeca. I don't know. So Andy's like, okay, cool, cool. So Tribeca is a place that's established and Aaron

doesn't want to live there anymore. Got it. Okay. So bottom from of the barrel wants to know how homegirl is doing, Aaron. And she's like, homegirl is so good. Like I have one really big project coming. So I'm super excited about it.

Hey, bottom of the barrel, if this is how you spend your time asking, if you're like, I want to ask a question to reunion, Aaron, how is homegirl going? Okay, bottom of the barrel, you need to really reconsider like what you find interesting in life because like, this bottom of the barrel here is Aaron's sister. She's like, please, please Aaron is trying to talk This is very inappropriate Yeah, that was clearly It was by the way, but on the barrel is clearly Aaron here like Aaron's the only one who it right in to Andy Cohen and say Hey, how's homegirl going Aaron?

Literally nobody asked how homegirl is okay It came up once in the second episode for one second as we watched Aaron move like a bin and never was mentioned ever again. I cannot believe that one person held onto that scene and was like, I would like to know how homegirl is going. Well, you put the pass in Pasadena wants to know

what is like working for Frederick possibly the complete opposite of you. I mean you're both annoying but that guy at least has personality am I right? Go ahead or an answer. He's exactly what you see. He's exactly like what you see on TV and in fact I have a permanent bruise on my right side because he keeps accidentally kicking me. It's terrible. So she says, yeah, he's exactly like you see on TV. And Uba says, we love that unlike Jenna. What? I mean, at this moment, I appreciate it.

Uba just attempting to do something here. So I was optimistic. And Andy is like, um, so you think Jetta is not as she appears on television like What is different between TV Jenna and real Jenna? And she says TV Jenna has poured me and she's a victim and she just says I'm old I'm nin-nin-nin and the real Jenna is a powerhouse. It's not this old victim. I'm like wow Wow, so she's faking her insecurity about her genetic dizzy. I don't know. You know, I just wanting to root for

Uba, but I just every time it comes, it comes time to I just can't. Yeah. So Jenna's like, I mean, if you're going to get Jennifer something, wait and have it be good. But you're coming into someone else's segment and just bringing up a bunch of nothing. Yeah. So, Jenna's like, I don't even know what to think about this. It's a lot of different, it's not different being on camera and watching you have vulnerability

and being powerful and we can exist together. I'm just not in a power situation in this dynamic, but'm just gonna keep on talking until Andy just like saves me. Okay, Andy, can you save me? But then Uba is like, but every time someone's yelling or something, you would never like, you know where to be found. And I don't know, like I just feel like, like you kind of avoid a lot of things. She's right on that. But so what?

Why are you mad at her about that? That has nothing to do with. Says Uba who had COVID for four fifth of the season like quote unquote, COVID. Uba's like missing every every other episode. I mean, you can't help your sickness, right? I just know I'm being I'm being facetious. The point is that like she's always out like, oh, I'm sick. I'm out for this or that like, I feel like Uba was missing for for for so much of the season. I just feel like if you're gonna come at Jenna, and I'm not like an all protector of Jenna,

I think that Jenna's a little overrated in everything on this season too. But if you're gonna come for Jenna, like if she's different off camera, how, when was she different off camera? When was she like a raging asshole to people? Because I wanna know, and by not telling me, you're depriving me.

So if something happened, I need you to tell me. Yeah. So Jenna's like, well, if something happened, I'm excited to like, then it involves me. Like I just, I'm not, if it's something happened that doesn't involve me, I'm not gonna weigh in on something that doesn't involve me. And it was like, yeah, but you're excited.

Like, you know, you're, you know, you were, you were excited to make an opinion. She's like, you're very excited making an opinion when it's about people when you're not in the scene. Like, you have excited, making an opinion. She's like, you're very excited making an opinion when it's about people, when you're not in the scene. You have no problem giving your opinion because she, Uba's pissed because Jenna had, she took Aaron's side basically during the sunglasses match and stuff, right? So Andy's like, okay, we're just going to get to that.

Hey, Aaron, Ken from Opener says, hey, watching the show, it seems like you're the matriarch of your family. How often do people in your family come to you with their problems and how many other people are out of town that they had to come to you? With the rest of us. So she starts crying.

So like that makes me emotional. And she, he's like, why are you crying? And she's like, I had a rough summer. So then we find out that her mom had some health issues and like it's all on me, you know what I mean? Like it's always all on me. And so that's kind of, you know, that's kind of sad. That's kind of sad. That's a mediocrely sad. That's that mediocrely sad. That gets a sick sudden sadness. Sick mom and it's all on Aaron. And then she starts talking about how her dad

is a single father of four. I don't know what, she was like, I'm the oldest and my dad is a single father of four, which is a funny thing to say as if they're all eight years old. He's a single father trying to make ends meet. It's like he's got adult children and he's unmarried at the moment.

So then she starts going on. This is our first official sob story of the episode and talking about like how her dad got remarried through half years after like mom. I don't know. It was like actually such a long, uninteresting yarn about5 years after, like, the mom, I don't know. It was like actually such a long, uninteresting yarn about her childhood, you know, architecture. Yeah, basically that her parents got divorced and so he became a single father

and it was up to her to raise all of the kids, right? And so she's like, yeah, I was like basically the mom. And so then her dad went to Israel to work and so she would be left there to raise the kids and all this stuff. And I don't take any of that away from her. I just, it's Aaron. So I'm like,

huh. Yeah, I was like, okay. It's like the guy who went the phone has just been hung up on the other end. Yeah. And it was me. It was me who hung up, hung up, sorry. Good luck, good luck to you. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM So it was like one moment I'm three years old, coloring in, coloring books with Brad and

Gwyneth. And another moment I'm eight years old, buying booze. My mom's soul is a Lincoln center. Before you know it, my brothers are all trying to do meth under the house. But I felt a little watching this like, eh, it's not cool to make fun of someone's sob story, right? But B, she was on jussle about how her sob story was just trying to compete with everyone else's sob story. And I feel like Aaron came to this like, I didn't have a sob story this year. Here's my sob story. And so she's trying to like pull a sob story on me. And I'm not having her sob story.

Sorry. And I love the way that I love the way that Andy transitions out of a sob story because she's like, so like this summer, it just was like hard because it was like my mother and it was just like all me, right? And like it's just always stressful when you have to like start taking care of parents and then he goes, okay, I want to move on to something else. He's like, oh, bossing from bottom wants to know if, hey, wants to take it up the butt. Yeah, the least like, would you guys consider swinging? She's like, yeah, so it's just sad.

Parents are getting older. I don't have much time left and I'm taking care of my mother, roles are reverse. I'm never, okay, do you want to swing? Do you and your husband want to swing? It's just really hard having to raise all of my brothers just wondering. My parents ever speak to me again. Does Abe like fingers in his butt or not?

Pagging, have you considered pegging? You know, there's no shame in the consensual monogamy. Wait, non-consensual monogamy. Oh, and she's like swinging. We like to play around like we talk about sex with friends, but we would not swing. And so I was like, I don't know about that. That 90-dinner seemed like you guys were recruiting.

I mean, no one's ever said something more romantic to me than would you like an appetizer. So might as well just made out with me, right then and there. Yeah, it seemed like you were recruiting. Okay, well, not interested. Okay, oh, here, this is actually a question from not interested. From anything's I says, wants to know how much you spent on your 10th anniversary versus how much was covered by sponsors.

Oh my God, covered by sponsors. Okay, I get it. Like a lot of these brands were really small and so they asked me if they could put their name on the invite and like I didn't care. It didn't bother me. Oh really, all those brands just happened to ask if they could be put on the invite. No, this is the thing. Like just tell the truth. She never just tells the truth. You wanted to get a bunch of free shit. You were finally a house wife. You got a bunch of free shit and you're not apologizing to anybody? That's the answer. That's the answer, not...

Well they asked me and they're just small businesses, so you know what? I support small business. You're fucking liar. Don't say the truth about one thing. Are you saying that Aaron and Abe are not a small business incubator? Is that what you're saying? Homegirl. Homegirl. Hey, thanks for asking about homegirl. So then, so it's hot. I said, but you would totally still do it. You would still do it again. And Aaron's like,

what, like put the names on and yeah, yeah, put the names on. Like, you don't care. I was just sponsored. Like, who cares? And Aaron's like, I don't know, it was like a lot of names and... Well, it is what it is. I don't even know why I'm saying these words, right? I don't know why I'm detailing this part of the conversation. Lil and Remy. Yeah, I mean, there's nothing wrong with being sponsored. It's just funny, because it's like this wedding event.

And then at the bottom, it's like sponsored by Chase. Ah! Come on, Shooz. Here comes one right now. So you know basically Aaron takes ownership kind of and she's like I was just trying to help the little person Sorry, I mean I was trying to help small businesses guys. I spent a lot of money on food I mean that's them that's the most amount of money that I spent with on the food budget. And he said, ah, food. Hey, sir, was it worth the money? And so, the honestly, you need a refund. You need a refund for that food. Okay. Hey, what's the deal? By the way, um, erectile from dysfunction wants to know, everyone, what's the deal

with you not serving food? I mean, what do you continue to serve appetizers to hungry people? Have you heard of means? Come on now. Oh my God to serve appetizers to hungry people? Have you heard of means come on now? Oh my god appetizers to hungry people it was a cocktail party Okay, I reckon you're about spending so much money on food like you can't have it both ways, okay? Yeah, it's the blanket. That's all anybody saw Yeah, exactly and and he's like come on defender hostess your hostessing. So she goes, well, I am good to defend my hostessing. I am going, I'm going to because I host this all the time. Like we are Jewish, we center everything around food. Unfortunately, sometimes that food

is invisible and not able to be eaten, but that's still food that's there. And he's like, man, you're too old, you're just loving ash. I want someone to be like, hello, I just want to say I am from a culture of Northern Europe and we hate to eat. We hate food. We hate food. We gather around. We do not gather around the dinner table. We gather around the floor and stare at the nothing on there that you can eat.

You know, being from Lebanon, we just, the family likes to gather around a handicap spot in the home goods and just really hash everything out. That's how we come together. So, yeah, Jews, Lovanovsh says Andy. It is true, but I think like I'm sure every other culture would probably say the same thing. So yeah, so then Aaron's like, yeah, we always have to like in my anniversary party. I thought I was like more of a cocktail vibe like I was saying and then when I was seven o'clock, well, and then he's like, yeah, I mean, and Abe's dinner time. At least when you've got kids like I do, I'm a dad. I'm a dad. I'm a dad. So if you invite people

to a party at eight, that means there's going to be food. And they're like, yeah, she goes, but there was food. So, you know, there's Aaron running in circles as usual. So Andy's like, so, Povett wrote on Instagram. And then we see him showing his sandwich on Instagram and he says, I was starving. Aaron needs to consult me for the next one. What is your react into Pa, then posting on Instagram about you. And and Brynn's like, Pa, he's like the seventh housewife and I would totally do him slash her. He's the seventh housewife because you guys have all made it your business to get all up into his business. So then eventually he starts reacting because he hears that everyone sings up about him. So he starts to react. I don't know.

So the next question is Aaron, you recently went on a podcast and said the following about side. You said, I think I thought we got along along but all she does is talk about me and her Confessionals and it really bothered me that she made fun of my sex you got oh my god I'm the sex I'm who's inviting Aaron listen I know that the the the annoyance with one character gets old I know it does with me it happens so many seasons. I can't help it. I don't know what to say. Like who is asking Aaron to complain about complaints about Shashuka? Shashuka. Star Hopper.

There's probably bottom bottom from the barrels podcast. Tell me about home girl and then talk. Shit. How did you feel about your Shakshuka? Did it get enough respect? That was really mad she didn't respect my shakshuka from the barrel So I was like I didn't make fun of it. I just had no idea what it was so Andy's like, okay, cool Well, two two from seven says how was watching the show change your view on the friendship and everyone's like Honestly, I have like no idea what happened to Si. Like, something like switched and Si's like,

me? She's like, yeah, something switched, which by the way, I don't believe this. I feel like they're trying to have like, I think they're both, they're both realized that they're like not fan favorites. And so now it's gonna be like, crabs in a bucket trying to like,

pull each other down, that way like, they're trying to disassociate from each other So they don't get each other's think on it on each other right So only one of them gets completely obliterated in the comments and not both so size like um something happened to me You like that's what's going on and you didn't own your shit Aaron you didn't own your shit And check here we go didn't own my shit. Oh another liar in the group. Oh, God, of course I'm a liar. Go on, of course, it's all my fault. Yeah, I mean, it's not a here we go.

I mean, who's a liar? You're the one who lied clearly. You said something on a podcast and you're not gonna admit it. And Aaron's like, yeah, I mean, I can't even answer right now. Like she doesn't even let me talk. So, yeah, you don't get to talk. Okay, because it's my fault.

You told mine. Yeah, it is is your fault because you told Brenda's lie that was a pose a complete lie and I never came to your house and I never said that I think about the cheese ever I never said the thing about the cheese fact that there's anyone who went into the cheese I was one I was the one who's eating all the cheese I was gonna love the cheese do not see a brought milk backstage guess what guess we make cheese out of milk so I basically brought cheese backstage and don't respect my milk don't respect my cheese you don't respect me I don't know how to respect you. Guess I lied about it.

So frustrating. So then she has a clip of this podcast and she whips it out and plays it. And what was it? So the clip was, the clip was basically, Erin saying, so before we started filming, I hosted something for all the girls. And like, I was like, oh, so we're having all this cheese. And like, this one's always hungry. Oh, she said so.

Oh, we're having this cheese, right? She said, oh, really? So all we're having is cheese. And I was like, yeah. So then, so I was like, you know, I didn't say that Aaron, I never came to your house. I never said that at once. Can I talk?

No, no, I'm talking. No, I'm talking. No, I'm talking, okay Aaron. I never came to your house. I never said that. I want to talk. Can I talk? No, no, I'm talking. Now I'm talking. Now I'm talking. Okay, because I never came to your house And I never said that never. Ubu was there. Jessa was there. There was a little mouse that was walking around I don't know that was strange. I know I bought you a nice little bottle of champagne and we were there Well, I didn't buy you I was gifted it and I re-gifted to you because you know hashtag sponsored But what we were there to have a good time and I was the only person eating the cheese actually so stop Considering the story that I'm a rude person who came to your house and complained because I never did that just not once. And she's like, but that's not what I said.

And because well, she said that you said all you're having is cheese. I mean, her goes, yeah. So she called me and she's like, so should I eat dinner before or are you serving dinner? And I said, no, we're going to do wine and cheese. And he's like, so did she come to your house and say, all there is is cheese? And she says, well, I mean, no, she didn't say it like that. So I'm like, okay, so you're, you lie.

You fucking lie. Every time I said it on the podcast, and it's not like, so why'd you say it on the podcast? And it's like, I didn't say it as accurately as what happened. I meant, it like, more proverbially. Like, you were like, oh, we're having this cheese, like that's all I really meant. What the fuck does that make any sense?

There is no proverbial, oh, we're having this cheese, there is no proverbial of that. I'll just say that. I know like I'm being so moral, like you lie, oh, you do, it's lie. You know what's the problem? It's not that it's a lie. I love a lie. I love when a lie plays out and you have to figure out it's a lie. I mean, brother was built on my eyes, but this is just such a boring lie, a cheese lie, as somebody complained about cheese lie. Come on. And this could honestly, you could even do a good cheese lie, like a cheese lie could really work, but this is just the worst version of it. And it's like the worst, like, you know, when she's caught, she doesn't even have a fun way. Like, you know, you know, who's really good about doing this? Okay.

I dare, I, I, I shot her to mention her name, but Leon lock in, because Leon lock in when we get caught in these stupid lies all the time and know what she would do on the reunion. She'd be like, I guess, uh, it just makes me think of when I was in the car level. And my mama would hide the cheese from from me And it brings me back so much PTSD that I didn't know what to say and I locked up because I just want to people to love me Like that is how you like having to sneak into a 7-Eleven and steal a block of cheese That's how you that's how you lie on the lie, you know Yeah, so they're like why are we talking about cheese?? Just like, oh my God, so much focus on cheese. And just like, Uber says, yeah,

how about you guys focus on why you didn't want Jenna on the show? And they're like, what? And Jenna goes, wait, who, what? And Uber gets the three of them saying, who is she saying, not Brynn, right? She's saying, are they just saying, Si and Jessel, right? She's saying, are they just saying Sigh and Jessel, right?

Yeah. Well, I think it was Aaron, Aaron Jenner, and no, no, no, you're right, because Jenner was the one who's, yeah, I'm not sure. This is all a little unclear. And so everyone's confused. Sigh goes, I didn't want Aaron on the show, and she goes, yes, you all said it.

And she's like, what are you even talking about? And then Aaron and Sigh kind of laugh awkwardly together. And Andy says, well, that's a side bomb. And then they just ignore it. And that was let it go. He doesn't ask who said it when they said it, why they said it. We literally go back to talking about cheese. This is the first major fail of this reunion. I have to say, what the fuck? It was a side bomb. And then we're talking about cheese. Uber was trying say, what the fuck? It was a side problem. We're given and we're talking about cheese. Uba was trying to, yeah, exactly.

And I don't know how Andy didn't like, at least try, like, he's asked some more questions, which has me believe that Andy does not like Uba very much. I think he kind of like let her, he let her like just look like an idiot because she says this crazy thing. And then he's like, that was a side bomb. Like he's like, that's crazy. you're a crazy person you know so he's like okay back

to the cheese let's let's let's get more deeper into this so it was like anyway I miss both and I should have just like said it more accurately or maybe I should have tackled it like a hagg cackling haggs so size like you know it was nice that you invited us and it was nice that you gave us cheese. And then for you in sinewink that I would say something like that. I didn't mean to upset you. I'm sick. It's a lie, Erin. I mean, how could you not think a lie? What an upset me. And it's like, oh, and Andy says, so you're saying you miss spoke. And she's like, miss spoke, sure. Okay. Like, I don't think it's that deep. I actually said, if you listen to the podcast,

a lovely thing about you right after I said, I actually really love Si. You know, she's a close friend of mine. And so I was like, I didn't even hear that. Because you know what the full quote was like, I actually really love Si, which is why I was so upset that she was making fun of my cheese. Why would you do that?

You know, that's probably what it was. And they're fighting about the minutia of this cheese. When the fact is, you're having, again, you were having people over at dinner time and you were not serving them food. I mean, it's like, you still lose in this argument. You can try and change the wording of whatever was said to whoever, but you're complaining about somebody else, complaining that you don't have food when you invite everybody over at dinner time wrong again, ma'am Long again wrong again. All right. Well Teenage Mutant from Ninja Turtles says on the show you said

Aaron that you're direct and can't be fake But some women have called you at for being rude. What's the difference between being direct and being rude? So Aaron's like um well, I think they like sometimes I can come off a little rude and crash and maybe it's like something I should work on. Yeah, I think that would be a great idea. Oh, just interesting. I still feel like work on interesting and then you can work on being not being rude.

You know, there's a reason below deck does not do reunions. Besides the fact that Andy doesn't watch him doesn't care probably, but, um, they've kind of slowed down on the reunions or doesn't watch him, doesn't care probably, but they've kind of slowed down on the reunions or when they do them, they do them on watch what happens live instead of giving them a real union. And our theory has always been the reason they don't is because everyone has to keep a job. Like everyone looks at it like we need this job because there's a job beyond this show,

right? They all work in the industry. And so once they show up to the reunion and they're confronted, their immediate response is, you're right, I'm sorry. I'm not a kind of this reunion, right? Everything they do, they're like, yeah, you guys are right. I should work on that. Yeah.

The whole reunion is like that. So then it was like, I don't think Aaron's rude. I think she's polite. I think she's elegant. And I think she's nice. I just, I think she's a shitster. And I was like, yeah don't think Aaron's rude. I think she's polite. I think she's elegant. And I think she's nice. I just, I think she's a shitster. And I was like, yeah. I start shit.

Yeah, I'm a shitster. Shitster. She's a gaslight. That's what she's a gaslighter. Yeah, yeah, I'm a gaslighter, right? Yeah, she gaslights. She gaslights. She's a gaslighter.

And she's like, okay, so you're not rude, but you start shit and you gaslight. Got it. Got it. It's like very nice, very nice. So, and he's like, let's leave it there. Okay, this is the second time who was tried something and then he's like, got it, got it. So like, very nice, very nice. So, and he's like, let's leave it there. Okay, this is the second time who was tried something and then he's like,

no, we're not going to do that. I would like to talk about cheese. And now we're going to talk about gentle lions and show gentle lion segment. You're just pissing a lot away, is all I'm saying. So now we get Jenna, Jenna lions being a housewife wasn't on their bingo card. What?

Yeah, we learned that like a great pair of lashes. There's mortar, then meets the eye. Let's take a walk. So we get the Jenna segment of her doing all the things. And he's like, wow, it's so wild. Given your public persona that you grew up feeling unattractive and unseen, did you ever think you'd be on Bravo? Where people would savage the way you look at every instance across the internet

and hear on this reunion? Wow. Also, just a general question of, wow, someone who didn't feel attractive went into fashion behind the scenes. That is crazy. So then, Jenna started talking about how she decided to go into fashion because she didn't feel, you know, like, she didn't feel good. And then she started trying out, like, you know, when she found clothing, she felt better

in her own skin. It was powerful. And it's got her over lots of things, and the ugly duckling thing and everything. And it was just like a very incredible experience for her fashion. And then we enter the mom segment. So Jenna is talking about her mom and like how it was so detached because of her mom's mental disability and stuff. So it was really hard to connect emotionally and stuff like that. And she really was helped by Uba's healing session where the lady told her, you know, tell you're a seven-year-old self that it's okay, you know. And so they do all that. And then

Jenna's like, you know, Jessel says, you know, I thought she was going to have this hard exterior, but she, you know, really went through the emotions this season, Andy. She really went through the emotions. Just like Povit when he found out his favorite halal standard closed down. Really so many emotions. So, at first time, Povit went to a restaurant and someone asked him if he'd like his bon me as a rap. Never seen a grown man cry like that Andy. Very sad times.

So then, you know, they're just like, oh, you know, they're just saying that Jen was brave and she starts talking about how she's on autopilot. And you know, when she was just talking, she's just talking about the childhood shit and being at the healer and, you know, and talk. It goes on, honestly, it goes on for so long. It's very moving and very sad.

And it goes on for a very, very long time. And she talks about how now Jenna, when she hugs her son, she hugs him because she didn't get that. And it's actually very healing for her. And so she likes to say, I'm so proud of you and this and that because she never got it. So please enter into the discussion. Brin. Brin. Here comes Brin. So Brin comes and she's like, yeah, you know, I'm going to, you know, she goes through her stuff basically like when I have kids, I'm going to love them

so much because I didn't get that. And she, so now she starts crying. And then, let's see who I'll start crying. So I'm going to end you. So then who starts crying about her mom. And this is all real, very sad stuff. I do not respond to this. I have a very tough exterior. Once I do start crying, it never ends.

I start sobbing. I start cursing everybody I've ever known. I will stop traffic. My whole face swells up. My eyes swell closed. Snot comes down my nose. And so I tend to avoid emotion. And that's what I do during this. I mean, during this, we had to take notes, obviously, so I did not fast forward. But I literally was doing this with my hand. Like I was pressing the effort in my mind. I was mentally fast forwarding. I was like, please take me

back to the ER. I'd like to do the appendix thing again. I was like, please take me back to the ER. I'd like to do the appendix thing again. I was like, I remember, remember when I had appendicitis, that was so much more entertaining. This was, no, I actually, I re-do'd like moments when, I believe they're not as cynical as I sound. I do like moments when people share and they have these emotional moments, but it just was going on and on and on and then this one jumps in and then that one jumps in and it felt like I was like, I'm now entering from the upper side, Uber, so Uber comes in

and everyone comes in and it's just like, it was beautiful but it just kept on going and going and going. Well, that's how this season is. They each go through a trauma and then the next one goes through their trauma and then the next one because that's their thing. It's the trauma. You know, like that's our main comment probably of this whole season is the trauma.

So now we're seeing like the rehash of the trauma and it's like, okay, let's all come together and group number. Exactly. And, you know, there was a time when the reunions, the purpose of the reunion was, hey, remember when so and so, I said that about you earlier in the season, what do you think?

Now that you've watched season, what do you think? But lately, like, there's been this sense of like that the reunion is a group therapy. And like, we're coming together to hash that and to heal and to grow and to mend. And it's like, that's fine, because you do have to set up the next season, but also, like, it doesn't have to be

literal group therapy. So, like, this stuff is interesting, but like, I honestly, I tune into the reunion to find out, like, the goss about the season. And this is more just like, okay, interesting insight. Lovely, you could even say it's beautiful, but also for me boring. You know, I just think that trauma can shape who you are,

but what you do define who you are. You know what I mean? And I would just wish we'd all stop defining ourselves by trauma, okay, let's define you. So they talk about, and it's a, I think it's also the times that we live in and the times that I'm from where I'm like, fuck that, you know, I'm like, genetics, I'm like, middle cry, but whatever it is,

now it's size turns. So she comes around the corner talking about her story. So before, before Scythe comes in, I also like Andy just like trying to squeeze a little more juice from the lemon. And he's like, Jenna, is your father still alive? I was like, you gotta be kidding me, Andy. I mean, he's alive, the guy's alive.

But to me, it was like, you're just gonna want to whip this all up again. Now, let's do the father. I was like, oh my God, I can't. Yes, and her answer to anyone who's wondering is that yes, he is, but he started over with a new family and just kind of forgot about them. And it was really painful. So it's like another like, and then right, and then he's asking, Uba, and then he's like, Oh, did you get like a lot of, who've been brin? I know you're trying to move on to the side, but like he's asking Uba and brin like, Oh, did you get a lot of response from viewers? And then brin's saying,

Oh, I had a huge response in Uba's like, I had a huge response, maybe not as large as Bryns. And Bryns like, it doesn't matter because you did have a big response. And then it's like, oh, my, that's like, I'm happy for you all, but yeah, let's go. So, um, so now, basically, Si is saying, you know, I overcame so much on my, in my life that I have this coping mechanism

and that's where a lot of this stuff comes. And I mask it with humor, you know? And I'm like, how can we get a montage of sibing hilarious on the show? That's my, I think that notes on every single episode and don't worry. Sib is the one who showed up in the mass singer with her face right there.

Your mask isn't working. Yeah, so she's like, yeah, it's a coping mechanism. I've had to overcome so much in my life. I'm broken on the inside. I hate talking about this so much. Anyway, so my mother, let me tell you another story about my mother. So then we go to kind of talking about Jenna, right?

So we've just had this very cryy sensitive moment. And like saying, well, Jenna, back to Jenna, I think I'm very impressed. Considering where you've come from, all this emotional relationships that you've had and you've come this far, you're a success. And then you overcame rough odds. And Jenna's like, you know, basically,

size like listen, you don't celebrate your wins. You're very hard on yourself. You don't celebrate your wins. But it's hard on yourself. You don't celebrate your wins. And it was like, yeah, that's all I meant to Jenna earlier when I was saying things. You know, Jenna, all I'm saying is that Jenna puts herself down so much. Like, that's not what you were saying.

You were saying she's a fake ass. So go back to that. Go back to that. And so I was like, yeah, you don't celebrate your wins enough. You can just celebrate your wins so we can tell you down. There's no fun in tearing down someone who's tears themselves down first. It just doesn't work for me.

That kind of is it, don't you think? That's kind of very annoying. Because you won't engage in this. And I do that. I have a lot of self-deprecating stuff just because you've earned. Like, if people are gonna give you shit, it's like, I'm gonna make jokes about myself.

They can't come get you. You know what? She puts herself down to a puts herself down to some to a point so much. I just want to shake her. I get so upset. Oh, by the way, I actually could go for a shake. Someone got me a shake. I'm starving over here. I just get so upset with you. You know, because I just want to shake you and you've accomplished so much and you've got some, you've done some such amazing things. You've done so much. You are an icon, which is why I will never accept another gift from you. The disgusting while you're trying to give me gifts. This is the end of part 1 of a 2 part recap, come back later for part 2.
