Hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. I'm Ben Mandelkirch and joining me today, fresh from his almost-done home, Ronnie Karam, how are you? Well, hello Ben. What's going on, baby? Not much. Just excited to kick off a very spooky week on crap. And it's not that spooky.

Actually, it's just that Halloween's later this week. So I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon, but I think it's spooky. You have a bunch of random children showing up at your door demanding shit. It's pretty spooky to me. It's like every single adult's worst nightmare. Hey master, where's my fucking candy? Where's your fucking education? Where's your job? Okay. Thank you. You giving back. I pay

taxes. What do you do? You know, where's my candy? This little fucker should be bringing me candy and saying thank you for paying for my schooling, sir. Where's that? Yeah, I would like candy give back day where children just come to your house and give you candy. How about that? Yeah. Hey, you know what I love adults? I love your outfit. So here's some candy. Thanks for all that you do for this. Children. Um, we, this is an exciting week over here because our Patreon is becoming a monthly Patreon,

which will streamline the process for many, many people. If you're already a Patreon supporter, nothing is going to change for you. It'll be exactly the same, but that changeover is going to be happening later this week, right ahead of November 1st. Um, but, um, if the process, because we were like a, by a quote unquote by creation model before, which was antiquated from when we initially start signed up in 2014 and it, therefore that's why we're always saying things like, don't forget to cap your support. Da da da da da da da da da da da.

Well, guess what? It's all going to be streamlined. It Well, guess what, it's all gonna be streamlined. It's monthly, everyone, everyone's gonna be monthly, even before you were already signed up, everyone's being converted to monthly, it's gonna be monthly going forward. So yeah, so if that is something that is appealing to you, if you were sort of confused by the process, starting November 1, Come on into Patreon land because it's much more user friendly. Okay and today something else that's much more user friendly is the Real Housewives of Potomac, ladies and gentlemen. So in this episode everyone is going down to Lake Norman for the first cast trip of the season. Jacqueline who is very insecure about being labeled a sidekick gets to see what it feels like when you're not the sidekick in your thrust front and center for to receive all the scrutiny that a non-sidekick would receive.

I'm not sure she likes it to be honest. sure she likes it to be honest. Not fun. Sometimes it's okay to be a sidekick. You know what I mean? Robin doesn't need his, Robin doesn't need his own thing. He's Robin, you know, it's just Robin. I think he's okay with that. I think it, I really did not expect you to be invoking Batman's Robin.

I thought you were definitely talking about Robin of Robin and Gisele. So that, that caught me by surprise. Robin never escaped that either really did she? I mean, she was a, she did have her own storyline. She, she had a dump truck that time. Remember? And then her husband was always like accused of fucking other people. So there was that, but for the most part, she had her hats. She had her hats. But I think for the most part, yeah, those sidekick energy. And she was, she didn't like being thrust into the spotlight either.

She liked being the spotlight and throwing rocks from behind Giselle But whenever it came to her having to explain her husband's business or anything like that, she could not handle it She freaked out. So yeah sidekick energy stay the sidekick guys. If you're like it's fine, you know, it's easier You don't have to pay all the bills Although it's more beneficial to us if you want to break away from being a sidekick, because you know my theory, I've got a sidekick theory, which is that the best drama happens when the sidekick decides

it doesn't wanna be a sidekick anymore or it wants a new, like it wants a new boss. So like if Jacqueline's gonna go down that path, I'm all for it, but I don't think she really wants to. I think it's just gonna be like, Jacqueline's just a sidekick. That's just how it is. She's Mia's sidekick, and she spends this whole episode complaining about being a sidekick and then taking her claim

as the chief sidekick, which is hilarious. Yes. Yes. Anyway. She can't let it lay in there. She tries to be a lead character, but then starts fighting because the chorus is singing without her. Girl, pick it up. Who do you want to be a lead character, but then starts fighting because the chorus is singing without her. So girl, pick it up. Who do you want to be? So we start in the car with Karen and Mia, and they're talking about the drunk driving, kind of. Mia's trying to, and Karen's trying not to. So Karen's like, well, I broke. I broke. And I'm not apologizing for breaking. I admit it. I'm a person who breaks dances. That's right Moving like a robot now Now Karen you almost hit me with your windmill So Mia's like well good for you Karen for owning up to that part because I feel like it's okay for you to say

Hey, I f'd up and it's not okay to do what I did because it's not like, you know, it's not your first time doing this, you know? I love that Mia just quietly just slides that in there. Like, by the way, let me remind you, you've now gotten two DUIs. Parents are like, well, I'm not gonna say I f'd up yet. I just want you to wait for that. I'm not admitting anything.

I want you to wait until we can talk about it and this will show me who my real friends are. I'm really broke, but I did not F up. My real friends wouldn't ask me to walk a line. They wouldn't ask me to do that. Can you walk in a straight line? Who asked that? Not friends.

And that cop is no longer my friend. I'll tell you that. I'll tell you who's not coming to like Norman. That really is completely disrespectful. So Mia's like, well, I'm disappointed in Karen. Just saying you didn't, girl. Just saying I need you girls, I need your support, bail me out of jail, whatever you need to do. Give me some bail money. Just own it. And Karen's like, I can't talk about it. Here's what I can do. I can close my lips and swirl them all around my teeth

while you talk to me about it. It's like she's gargling but doesn't want her cheeks to puff out. She's like, yeah. Karen also, this episode, she's really leaning into or really it's kind of a pun because she's kind of leaning forward. Her new thing is that she's like lowering her chin as low as possible. She's like let me show you the top of my forehead to emphasize my feelings on something. Like it's like she is she is really like doing this whole thing like she's like it's almost like she is

trying to hold a piece of paper between her chin and her chest. She's like, hold on, I can do this. I will carry this piece of paper across the field. It's like a three legged race. She's like doing a potato sack race or three legged race was like, okay, the challenge in today's event is carry this piece of paper between your neck between your chin and your neck all the way to the finish line. I can do that. But it also got back to me from my birthday party that Jacqueline said that the night

before my party that I called her and I was drunk. That is a lie. That is a lie and I will not stand for it. So then in the other car, Jacqueline's like, well, Karen doesn't like the fact that I was going around telling people that she called me drinking. And then she's like, well, I don't know why, because Karen used to call us drunk all the time,

which I love that this is a, this is like an ongoing trope with the drunks of Bravo, probably the drunks of the world, but like the drunks of Bravo that they get drunk and they call each other off-camera to complain. We get the stories about Shannon, Karen, and I feel like there was someone else.

Did Dorindo call people on the phone a lot? How many times does this thing get aired out? Well, you're a drunk. All you do is call me and drunkenly and complain and keep me on the phone for hours and hours. Well, it just goes to show what bad friends these people are in real life. Cause that's what you're supposed to do with your friends.

You call them drunk and you bitch about things. I mean, hello? Like I've been doing it for years. Why? I hate when they hold shit like that against each other. Like, yeah, you're my friend. That's what we're supposed to do. If it was ever bothering you, you call me drunk too. Well, not you. But you know, generally, that's what friends do. So I don't like when they're like, Oh, how dare you call me drunk? Who am I supposed to call? You know, yeah, fire department. Of course I'm calling you drunk.

on the car to defend herself so if one stops but then in the other there's another car is the jassy ashley and kierna and kierna's like and then she's like yeah it's not and kierna's like have you noticed like this what you say does kierna talk like that oh my god have you noticed like this? What'd you say? Does Kierna talk like that? Oh my god. Like, I like Kierna. Beautiful woman. She seems sweet. She has such a marble mouth. I mean, like I would I had to go back Dom and I were watching and we're like, what did she say? We had to go back like a few times. Like, there were a few times this episode where she said well you know what I mean I was like what are you saying here now it's like she's being fast forwarded or what yeah it's just it's just like she's swallowing she she's swallowing her words and as someone who swallows his words I get it I understand the struggle but like some it's more

when she does her interviews where I'm like, I think she's like being quieter. But when she's like talking with the group, you can hear pretty well but like in the interview, she's like, well, what are you saying? Oh, God. So she's saying that she's married older, right? Oh Oh no, but he's divorced. So she's saying that her guy is divorced. So he's had so much experience and it's really hard because he's had so many experiences that she's never had. Do you know what I mean? So like,

he demands half of her dinner and stuff like that. Because he knows what it's like to get half of everything when you're broken up. I'm like, he's like, so do I get custody the day of the kids? She's like, does that mean you're picking them up from school? Why are we talking like this? You bring your divorced energy into every new relationship. Yeah. She's like, my med spa right now is pretty much an auto-pilot,

runs itself. I'm wearing wind drag and I'm the person that's actually going to go to schools training relationships. I'm like letting them know what services we provide. Like, I'm here to help, okay? I'm here to help. So he has a mental health facility called Open Arms. And yeah, so she's, so I guess she goes to schools

to get people to come to the Open Arms mental health facility, which. I guess so, I guess she recruits. I literally, I'm not even. Any questions after this part? I was like, wait a minute. So you run the med spa on the day, but then you go to school to try and to try and get kids to go to the mental health place. What's going on over there? Like door to door mental health things. I don't know. I guess we need to like tools, right? I guess. Um, she, I don't know. I guess she's just trying to, I guess maybe increase awareness. So Kierna is basically saying that, uh, she was like, yeah.

And he called me an employee the other day and she was like, oh my God, affectionately or what? She's like, I was like gagged. I was fucking gag city. No, it was dead ass serious. I almost passed out. Um, and as she's like, yeah, I've worked with like working, I worked with my ex-husband and it was not pleasant. And I was like expecting them to like bring back that clip of them yelling in the parking

lot at Oz, but sadly no. No kidding. You're trying to shove kangaroo down people's throats. So Kieran was like, oh, you did have a business. Well, we'll see how long I work over there, as long as he calls me an employee. We'll see about that. So we go back to Giselle and Jacqueline and Wendy,

and they're talking about how, how are Karen and Giselle doing? And she's like, we need to have a conversation because I had an event for my father and my business of sweatpants, but still, it was very important. It was, it was about brain diseases and really tight, adorable sweatpants

that we buy off Alibaba and still haven't put on our website. So Wendy's like, well, can you guys talk about it tonight and not tomorrow? Because tomorrow's a special day. She's like, yes, yes, we're not gonna mess that up. I don't plan on screaming at Karen. I don't plan on it going left.

Karen and I have come a long way Maybe me I've gone a little bit longer because I think her car crashed along that way, but either way hopefully she will receive So then Jacqueline's like wow Wendy you don't have a problem with anybody huh? She's like little old me So she's like yeah, there's maybe some unspoken tension competition. Oh, she's saying between you and Jassy, right? Because she's saying Jassy's made a comment about her being a sidekick. And she was like, I'm no one's sidekick or side chick or whatever.

And so Wendy's going to just start a fight with Jacqueline and this new girl. But I don't even think that that sounds mean because she says that Jassy saw her on the plane and was like, oh, hey, where's your sidekick? Which would mean that Mia would be the sidekick, not Jacqueline. So why does that mean? I think that people would say that to me. If I walked into a room, they'd be like, hey, where's your sidekick? I'd be like, you know, probably at a board gaming thing. Like, what the fuck do I know? He's sewing a sleeve. Like, can I come anywhere alone?

So Wendy, I'm me. I'm my own person. Let me be me. Um, so Wendy says, so she's, yeah, so she's like, she hears Jassy saying that and just sounds like sidekick. She's calling you a sidekick Jacqueline. And Jacqueline's like, she's calling she's calling me a sidekick. There's no comparison between myself and Jassy. No offense. So I just want to reassert. I am not a sidekick. I'm independent. But if I were a sidekick, I'm a better sidekick than jazzy. And Wendy's like, not on my 40th. You started it. Why did you start that? You love that he comes in and lights a bomb and then she's like, I hope no bombs go off on my 40th. So then we go to Stacey's. She's taking a road trip in the car.

She's just like, it's going to be a long ride today. Then we get back to Mia and Karen. Karen's talking about how Stacey's coming. Then we see Mia saying, first of all, where is Stacey? Karen's like, call her, let's see what she says. They FaceTime Stacy and she doesn't answer. So I wouldn't either because Stacy's probably like, oh, it's Karen's,

she's probably drunk. Let's face it. She's probably, yeah. And she's, Stacy's probably still like upset about something from last episode because last episode she was very huffy. So, um, Mia's like, you know what, I think that she's done with us. Stingy, stingy, stingy. She's just not that interesting. I'm like, Mia, you came on the show with your big claim to fame that you worked at a joint chiropractic and then showed us like we have to watch you moving brochures around. So let's not like, let's not get it twisted. Actually, I mean, Mia did come in as a stripper at a steak and lobster place who married some

rich guy who was throwing around cash. I mean, Mia had some pretty good stuff, but I feel like that's unfair to judge other people when you have that kind of a backstory. Like we can't all just be strippers at a lobster place finding a rich man, you know? Like, I don't know. Stacey, give the woman a break. That had to be revealed. We have yet to find out Stacey's skeletons in her closet. So although I don't think they include ball gown stripping. But also Mia came on. Yeah, ball gown stripping.

Yeah, that was it. But also Mia came on and immediately went after Wendy, right? Wendy who she was like, yeah, what surgery have you had? She's Wendy, right? Isn't it Wendy? Who she was like, what surgeries have you had? She's like, what? They started fighting about surgery or something like their first time. Right out the gate. Yeah.

At Wendy's party, it was like, what was her party? It was so funny. That was, it was for Happy and Ness. It was the day before Happy and Ness. It's also the party where it's like, wherever Karen said the thing about like, I'm going, you're going up and sing sing. Whenever.

My hot box. The hot box at Hamilton College or whatever, whatever it all was. It was great. I wish I remember. I'm definitely bad at invoking quotes. But so that was a good episode. So yeah, Mia came in firing and I guess Stacy's not really, but Stacy has come in and I guess Stacy's not really but Stacy has come in and I think she's brought a lot to the show. She's brought a questionable man,

right? Yes. Nobody believes this really into her or vaginas. And then she's got like her huffiness where she gets like really upset at being, I mean she think they kicked out a party too, but her whole, I love when she got kicked out and was like, I am leaving. You got kicked out. Like, what are you? Yeah. She's bringing like bougie indignance, which is really what this show was built off of. Like this show, we all remember the first episode where they keep, they've been showing it a lot. The, uh, Karen getting mad at Giselle at the birthday, uh, from speaking at center. But that was also an episode where Karen brought Giselle like a picture frame of, uh, etiquette lessons to be had.

Like this show was built on, you know, like people pretending like they are actually, you know, much more, uh, I don't know. I don't know. I was going to say much more sophisticated. It's not that it's more like they just are very indignant. Yeah. They're constantly like, I cannot believe you did that. So it's nice to see a return to that with Stacy. A return to bougie indignance. Exactly. Love to see. Um, yes. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappins commercial. Have you ever wondered who created that bottle of Sriracha that's living in your fridge? Or why nearly every house in America has at least one game of Monopoly?

Plus, we guarantee that after listening, you're going to dominate your next dinner party. In a quiet suburb, a community is shattered by the death of a beloved wife and mother.

But this tragic loss of life quickly turns into something even darker. Her husband had tried to hire a hitman on the dark web to kill her. And she wasn't the only target. Because buried in the depths of the internet is The Kill List, a cache of chilling documents containing names, photos, addresses and specific instructions for people's murders. This podcast is the true story of how I ended up in a race against time to warn those who lives were in danger. And it turns out, convincing a total stranger someone wants them dead is not easy.

And Mia is telling us Lake Norman has a very special place in my heart, you know, Inc. And I actually moved to Lake Norman together post graduation. I was 19 when I first moved here and Ink and I were kids.

Just tell us, tell us, tell us the, their origin story with Lake Norman, which is about as fascinating as Mia's assessment is. I just don't think you can go from accusing Stacia of being boring and then tell the story about her and Ink moving to a lake. Well the erasure is amazing to behold, isn't it? That Mia's just pretending that she's, her love, her great love story is Inq and it has been this whole time. And Gordon was nothing.

Gordon was just some crazy, senile old man and she doesn't even know, it's like he's stalking her now. She's turned in Gordon as some crazy stalker that she was never into that kind of just came in and tried to make himself a part of her and Ink's relationship. You gotta have to me how she's really just rewriting history without any sensitivity to those around her.

She's like, yeah, this is where my love story started with Ink, who I'm still with by the way. It's the greatest love story ever told. Yeah, so they walk in and there's like a bunch of like concierges and they're like greet them and everything and it's a really beautiful house everyone's very happy and they do like a toast and Karen is like this is as good as it gets that's all that's it no more celebrations of Wendy I'm also having a birthday this weekend because isn't Karen's birthday coming up. Isn't that the whole thing or no? Well, she already had her celebration. Oh, she did you're right. It was the Inquisition birthday. Sorry Monday's am I right everyone? Remember she got her uber cards and stuff

And so then she's like every birthday that's been thrown by this group for me has gone completely to hell in the basket. And then we see Karen birthdays, just going to shit, you know, Giselle taking the middle seats, me and Wendy fighting last year at dinner, the ladies painting Karen's vagina and not vagina. Now I'm starting to talk like Karen. Oh, my vagina. Vagina in Starr County. Either way, the point is that Karen is jealous that Wendy seems to be getting a better birthday reception

than Karen is. So she's like, everyone has to stop it but this is recapping it right here. So here she goes, you all have my permission to cancel on Wendy's birthday celebrations. So they all go to their rooms and everything and Karen is immediately furious because she discovers that she and Gisele will be sharing a bathroom. Both their rooms are attached to the same bathroom.

Yeah, I said I can't do a boo boo and say the same. No, I can't. I cannot do it. I will not do it. I shall not do it. It will not happen. Okay, I'll do it. I mean, where else am I going to sleep the couch? Let's talk about it. Giselle's like, well, I really do have to pee, so I'm going to pee really quickly then. She says, do you have to use the word pee? I'm going to have to use that. We have to use it at some point and you're going to pee like a cow. She said, well, what are you going to do in there? Are you going to pee? She says, I know I'm going to urinate when it's the proper time.

Urinate. I thought she was going to come up with a sprinkle. Something tinkle. Or tinkle. Yeah, I'm going to, yeah, something cute, but not urinate. I think pee is better than urinate. Who says that? Pardon me, what about urinate?

I don't even, then no one fancy says urinate. That's probably like a four letter word to fancy people. She's just like, well, I'm gonna pee. Like a horse. So now they're all, you know, it's more room stuff and looking around and stuff, you know, as she sees her room and Mia's saying that like, oh, there's a place where you can do your little

tiki-takis. And then Jacqueline's like, As she sees her room and Mia is saying that like oh this place we can do your little dookie dookies and then Jacqueline's like she really wants to have her own room because now she's paranoid that she's gonna be viewed as a sidekick So she's like, what where's my room? Is this not my room? Can I not have a room? What's going on with this? And Jesse says you're probably gonna sleep with Mia and she's like no I want to be in my own room And Jessie says, you're probably gonna sleep with Mia. And she's like, no, I wanna be in my own room. She's like, Mia, we're besties, but in Miami we were in the same room.

And then we see a flashback to them sharing a room and her saying, well, I'm not gonna be attached to the hip of Mia for the rest of my life. Okay, then get off the show because you didn't get on here with your own sparkling talent and personality. You were brought on by somebody, okay? You don't get to just be brought to the dance and then ditch the person who brought you to the dance. I mean, I guess you do get to do that, but you at least have to

become a full cast member first. Or is she a full cast member? She's still a friend of, right? Yeah, she's still a friend of. Still implies that she will someday not be a friend of. I think she just is a friend of. By the way, one one of the one of the distinct joys about doing watcher crap ins is that occasionally I sort of just like look up and I appreciate Ronnie just sort of like reading someone while casually stroking his face with his like infrared skin thing. I don't know what I don't know what Jacqueline expects, but you know what she is just a sidekick and she either stays as a psychic or she gets off the show as he just goes in his face

like it just makes it so much more devastating for those people who can only hear him you're missing out on this view of Ronnie right now with this infrared thing. Well, listen, you gotta kill yourself and you got to get some skincare and where you can get it like what else am I going to hear? You know, I fully support it just there's something about the way you basically take someone down while you're doing it. So slowly.

It's like the equivalent of like a girl brushing her long hair slowly and being like, we don't like her, you know? It's just so perfect. Oh, gosh. So Jacqueline's like, well, I'm not just a friend of, and how dare my bestie not give me a great room? So then we see that Kier and I get stuck in the bunk bedroom, and she's someone else who's, like, having trouble escaping friend of energy, and Mia's not having it,

so she puts her in the bunk bedroom bedroom and she's like, I'm rooting for Mia. This is what you give me bunk beds, the last room in the whole house. Thanks a lot. Now I know what you think about me. Cause you know, the hardest on the new girls is the previous new girl. Yeah. Oh, of course. It's like shut the door behind you mentality. So Kieran's like, this is like jail, like I need to move the beds back together and then I'm gonna have a clean house. So, but she's actually pretty chill about it. So then, so then Karen sees the bunk beds and she is horrified. She's like, Karen, this is where you might be living if that court case doesn't go well. But yours will be made out of cement. And she's like, who's in here? And they say Stacy,

she's in boot camp. And she's like, I'm okay. Stacy in the bunk bedroom, because they're in girlfriend bootcamp. And it's who's the toughest, you know? All right. Well, a basically you're hazing. Be I love this idea that like, the bootcamp really is just like can you sleep in a Twin size bed if you can sleep in a twin size bed Then you're okay Does me even had to sleep in a twin size bed on this show because guess what a whole bunch of them had to in Season one when they went to Ashley's we're home. Oh god Ashley's little guest home thing that she took everybody to

another lake, right No, no, no, that was on the beach. Yeah. Yeah. This show has come a long way from Ashley's twin size beds for everyone in Rojo Beach to now this nice, you know, Airbnb on Lake Dorman. Yeah. But I think it's like suffering the sheer embarrassment of being put in the bunk bedroom. Like how are they going to deal with it? But they're all very mature. Like okay. Yeah. And I think that Mia is anticipating that Stacey is going to have a meltdown because Stacey's like, you know, like she's like a Barbie almost like she's like, everything's perfect. Everything's fine. And I'm pretty and nice and da da da da. So, but then we go into Wendy's room and Wendy's room has

like balloons says 40. It's just like all done up and Karen is so jealous. She once again does a thing where she like curls her top lip over her bottom lip and then lowers her chin like and no one ever did this for me. So then Wendy reflects on the fact that you know, we you know, me I, we've had a very checkered past. I know our relationship continues to be evolving. Me and a lot of the Lees have come a very long way and we have history. The fact that they're willing to come together to celebrate me, they can't refuse to give us a gift.

Karen is like, well, this is the way you thank me for all the fucked up birthdays and your 40th is good. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Hug me awkwardly. All right. Now I don't mind having the best room, but did they have to decorate it? Really? The last thing they decorated, they put a handcuff in the shape of they could balloons, the shape of handcuffs at my birthday party. But enjoy enjoy all lovely decorations. I'm glad that they're celebrating. Last time I had a cake where someone jumped out it was a police officer asking me to walk in a straight line. So enjoy

your room. I love Karen being upset that someone has like stolen her thunder her birthday thunder essentially when she has just literally talk blocked Giselle's tribute to her father event the week before. Oh God, it's not like her father would remember. Well, that was a quite rude joke. But you know what? I take it back everybody. I take it back everybody. Okay, so now they all go to the kitchen for lunch.

And by the way, it sounds reading it back. The room selection sounds very sort of like endless and boring. But watching it, it was actually very funny. I have to say. Well, that's good. You're like, I'm glad you were entertained. I'm glad you enjoyed that. Yeah. So then now they're heading to the kitchen for lunch and stuff. And then Jacqueline's like, smell the bunk bed. And Jesse's like a win is a win. Okay. And

she's like, Oh, they're really gonna put Stacy in a junk bed. A bunk bed. I mean, a junk bed. Hi, here's your bed. It's the recycling bed. Enjoy it. Yeah. But yeah, she's shocked that they're going to do that to Stacy. And so then they see this other huge room, and they're like, whose room is this? And Jassy says, this is your room, Jacqueline.

She's like, it is? And Gisele's like, she's lying. But Jassy's like, no, this is your room, Jacqueline. She's like, it is. And she's like, she's lying. But Jassy's like, No, this is your room Jacqueline, because it's clearly Mia's and you're gonna be stuck with Mia. So actually, it's funny, because this room situation is continuing to go on. I thought it was over, but it is continuing on. But they're all it's just like a lot of, again, room selection, etc. So anyway, they all gathered, they eat, and then Stacy finally arrives.

And Karen is talking and she's like, Gisele and I have almost progressed where we never wanted to be. We are sharing a bathroom, everyone. And then Stacy walks in and she's like, I have traveled extensively all over the world with my soon to be ex-husband. So this is the first time that I'm actually traveling with just the girls.

And I've never really had the opportunity to travel like this. And I'm excited. It's going to be absolutely great. Yeah. And so I was like, well, tonight I'm going to be getting on the road and going home. And tomorrow morning is Angelina D'Oro's cap and gown ceremony at their school. I'm very upset about it.

It's my storyline. Everybody watch me tear up. Just kidding, but I'll be leading. So, and Karen's like, well, that's just a lot. It's a lot, it's a lot, Giselle. She goes, it's a lot, but you know I'm here for whatever the hell this is right now. Whatever this trip is.

By the way, I just want to tell everyone that even though my daughters are graduating from high school tomorrow, we will be dragging out their graduation ceremony over the next eight episodes. So enjoy. Yeah, buckle up. We will be trying to convince America

that I have feelings over the next few episodes, so enjoy that arc. So then she's like, anyone have to fight because that's what we're here for. Anyone want to make the paychecks for the day? So Jacqueline tries it then she's like, anyone have to fight because that's what we're here for. Anyone want to make the pageants for the day? So Jacqueline tries it and she's like, um, so Jassy, the ladies heard you on the plane saying that I'm Mia's sidekick. And she's like, Oh yeah, they were listening too hard. That was never said. Well, I just felt very

attacked because some of the ladies, some of the ladies have been giving the connotation that I'm living in Mia's shadow and... Like was that, Jacqueline, we can't quite see you. It seems like there's a shadow over you right now. Oh, I'm sorry. Why did you get up to get water? The sun is literally in my, okay. She moved back.

Jacqueline's like, I have my own business. I'm a mom. I hold it down, okay? I have never been anybody's psychic. Oh my God, I can't believe I. I hold it down. Okay, I have never been anybody psychic Oh my god, I can't believe I'm doing this interview alone. Where's Mia? Where's Mia? What's your business called la amiga? Okay. Well The friend She's like I'm the main course honey, okay, I'm giving the full-bodied everything honey. Okay. I'm giving the steak and the lobster

Okay. Well, why can't you just give the steak? Why do you have to be to my little sides on each other's dish? Why are you giving a sidekick meal like a meal like potatoes and mac and cheese? Nothing but sides. So, um, Jassy's like, really? Where, where are you giving that? Jacqueline goes, I'm Jassy says that Jacqueline goes, honey, you want me to stand up and show you how I'm giving it. So she stands up, she goes, the hair, the body, the intellect, the finesse, the t-shirt that says I'm with Mia. Oh, God. Well, that was a gag. That was that. That's a sport argument. I get it. And she goes, I'm giving it. And Jassy says the neck up for sure. There is no sidekick here, honey. And Jassy is like, from what I've gotten to see from

Jacqueline, she's just a little obsessed with Mia. Okay, and we see like clips of her and everything and Jacqueline being like, she's my friend. And she's like, it just makes her a bit strange to me. Yeah, and she's like, well, actually, I was just joking. And I was saying, you know, we're expecting her to give a great house trip because this year she has an even better sidekick. And Jacqueline says, which is yourself. Jacqueline is so cringy, by the way, this whole like, Oh, is this a sidekick? And then she stands up. She's like, I'm strong enough to

cover a house like siding Jacqueline. She's like, Oh, she's so embarrassing. And so she's like, you're the sidekick. And Jassy's like, uh, okay. Like, yes, like that was the joke. And, and Giselle's like, uh, okay. Exactly. She's like, yes. She's like, that was the joke. And Giselle's like, you're fighting to be a sidekick. Woohoo. The self-esteem is wow. So Jassie's like, yeah, but when she was so heated about it, I was like, okay, take it.

And Stacey goes, and that doesn't bother you to call yourself a side chick? And Jassie's like, no, it doesn't bother me. I said it as a joke because I know people know I am not a sidekick. By the way, I did meet Taylor Swift and I'm like, I can say that I'm friends with her now. Yeah, my husband's a celebrity. So Karen is like, well, where is this heat coming from Jassy? Because Jassy is cool, by the way. Where is the heat coming from?

Because Jassy is cool. And Giselle says, oh, they're working it out, Karen. Now let them fight before our main event. Duh. So then basically everyone's like, so she's just a pick me, right? Because she's giving that kind of energy, you know? It's- Well, because Jaclyn says this, Jaclyn goes,

she was like, you know what, Jassy, I'm happier in her life because I know I'll always be number one. It's like you were just standing up proclaiming that you're not a psychic. And now you've said, I am number one, like number one in line next to Mia. Like of all the people who are friends

with me, I'm her number one friend. I was like, which one is it? Jacqueline? How like this is like within seconds that you just contradicted yourself. I know she's so crazy. But then I don't is Jesse really close with me even? Or she just said, you're the one who's you're the one who's a sidekick. And she was okay, yeah, I am a sidekick. She's like, well, you're not hurt. You better not be. You better back off. I'm always her number one sidekick. It's like, whoa, crazy pants. So then Karen was like, well, I've been thoroughly entertained. So

now the boat's going to come get them for a cruise around the boat and then they're going to have dinner and stuff. And she's like, and then my guests will have arrived. They're like, we're having guests because we are, my girlfriends that live here are coming to visit. They stood up for me and Eek at our almost wedding that we probably could have had, just pretend we did. So Ash was like, oh my God, we're having a party. I mean, it's like, yeah, a little cocktail party.

Wendy's like, well, congr little cocktail party. And Wendy's like, well, congratulations, fucking, congrats, you're fucking lutely, Wendy. So Wendy's like excited that she's getting a whole party and Cameron just rolls her eyes because she never got thrown a party like this on her birthday. So then Mia's like, they say, so Jacqueline, do you know these girls?

And she's like, well, they're Mia's friends and I'm cordial with them, absolutely. Like, oh. So now she sees girls cause they're close with Mia. The competition and everything. And Mia's like, yeah, she used to text and talk to one of them, but then she theatrically exited the groom chat.

Hehehehe. Like, what does that mean? And they don't even explain it. They just like leave it there and just keep going. So Stacey says, Jocelyn, you have a lot of beef with a lot of people, huh? She's like, I don't have beef with a lot of people at all. Do I, do I Mia?

Yeah, do I Mia? Well, hello, Grand Beef Dom over here. I have been nothing but a friend to Jacqueline and I feel that she is not a friend. I wanna be transparent. Let me be very clear, is another way of saying I wanna be transparent. And okay, so let me be very clear

that I wanna be very transparent in front of the whole group. When you came to me the night before my party for a phone call, you were seeking my advice. No one was drunk on that phone call. And I swear when I picked up both of those receivers on my phone, which I didn't know there were two, but apparently there are two. You have to hold two of them to your ear at the same time.

Not saying I had double vision or anything. I just think that there were two receivers. But when I picked up that phone call, no one was drunk. I see you, Jacqueline. I see two of you right in front of me. Are you drunk right now? I am not see two of you right in front of me. Are you drunk right now? I am not. Both of you can stop applying that. reading you. When do we get off this boat?

We're still in the dining room, Karen. No, things are swaying a bit. I'm pretty sure we're on the boat. Why is Gilligan over there questioning me? That's Jack and Karen. Fucker, too. Take off the hat. Commercials. Here comes one right now. Just I was like, Karen, just so that you know, anything that Jacqueline said I felt was not malicious or mean. She was just saying that you were drunk. So

she was just saying that you were drunk on television ahead of your court case where you were facing charges for driving drunkenly across the median. Don't do that! Don't do that! And Giselle says, well, I don't want you to be mad at her. She goes, nah, no, I'm not mad. I'm passionate about it. I'm passionate about being mad.

That's all. But I'm not actually mad. And Jacqueline's like, we don't have to have further conversation about it, do we, Mia? Once again, she doesn't hear anything I have to have further conversation about it, do we, Mia? Once again, she doesn't hear anything I have to say. So look at her, just ignore. You're lying, you're a liar. This is why I don't fuck with either one of you, Jacqueline. Jacqueline's like, okay, well, then don't fuck with me, Karen. Don't, because you're deflecting about a lot of things right now. Let's be honest,

and do not call me a liar. Do not do that. It's like, you are a fucking liar. I'll call you a liar all day long, liars. I've been nothing but friends to both of you. Oh, there you are. I tried to be helpful, and this is how they both repaid me. Oh, you backstabbing heifer. I really don't care about them,

because both Jacklins are irrelevant to me. No. She called her a backstabbing after I died. And Giselle's like, well, this is actually Karen being one, a mean girl and two, a deflecting mean girl. I love Giselle. Okay, are you really that changed this season that suddenly you're gonna call people out

for being a mean girl? That's your jam, baby. She goes, you're just deflecting and don't want anybody, nobody wants to talk with you. And I'm not even deflected. I'm not deflected. I still know, Karen, that you have a court case and Karen goes, what the fuck have I done to you ladies? And by ladies I mean Jacklins. For you to lie it on me. Shut up. Don't fuck with me okay because you're a flipper and I don't fuck with flippers unless

they're for your teeth, which in which case, this one won't really stick very well. Right. That's my other ear, not there. Flipper. Flipper, Flem. Flip, Flipper. Flip Wilson. Flip at the bathroom. So, Jacqueline. I ran out of flips. There's only so many flips you can really have. So, Jacqueline. Flip, flip, flippy, flip. Karen, stop saying flip. All right, fine.

I'm not that kind of person, guys. I'm really not. Guys, I'm not that kind of person. Mia, tell them, please. Well, I'm on the receiving end of it, and I don't buy it. And Jacqueline's like, whatever. You can cry until the cows come home. I don't buy it. And Jacqueline's like, whatever, you can cry until the cows come home. I don't give a fuck Jacqueline's.

And just as I was like, Karen, nah, Karen, Karen, come on now, come on now. She's just a sidekick. Don't be so mean to her. Do not fuck with me. Do not. Well, I'm not the only one that was concerned. Don't lie on me.

Don't fuck with me. Don't lie. Oh, fuck with me. Lie on me. Fuck with me. Fucking me. Lie on me. Lie with me. Lie on me. Karen stop. Flip phone. So, me and the Karen, we were all concerned. Okay. And Karen's like, people are judging

me as the least of my worries. When have you ever known the grand dam to crumble? Never. And it ain't gonna happen. How many wonders are there in the world? Seven? Seven wonders as far as I can tell, there's 14, and I'm the eighth, which makes me the 16th, especially in this group, they are so obsessed. How many were, how many wonders? I'm number eight. Yes, yes, Karen.

Didn't you just run into a tree? I love her, she's like, no one will ever see me crumble five minutes ago. I broke, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Ladies and gentlemen, how many world wonders are there? Seven, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Ladies and gentlemen, how many World Wonders are there? Seven. And I'm the eighth. I'm also a fence.

That's it. That's right, America. The eighth World Wonder is a fence. The Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, the Hanging Guns and Babylon. And a fence of atomic. Oh, God. What in that case? long. And offensive atomic. What in that case? So now it's time to get up and Mia's comforting or Wendy's comforting Jacqueline. And Wendy's like, Listen, I know that you guys have issues, but these these days are really about me. So you guys need to be happy. Okay, I

don't want crying. I just want people celebrating. So let's concentrate on that. So then they lead Stacy to the room because she hasn't seen it yet. And they're like, Oh my gosh, Stacey's gonna have a meltdown. Oh my god, she's gonna go from QBCOs to monster wait watch. And then they bring her in and Stacey's like, Oh my gosh, bunk beds. Are those for me? Yay. I've always wanted to be in a bunk bed." And everyone's like, what? She's like, when I was growing up, I wanted to have bunk beds so bad. What are the chances that I'm walking into my first girl's trip and I get to have a roommate and

we get to have a sleep in bunk beds? I am so happy. You know what's so crazy is the second time this has come up this week, because when I was with my boyfriend, I said, are we ever going to sleep together? And he said, if we do, it's going to be on bunk beds. And here we are. It must be a sign. Now I understand when he talked about tops and bottoms. So Karen was like... He said he was versatile, but he did like to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of it. It was like, this is so like, I was like, I don't even know.

See, even here we are. And they said, Well, we are going to get to know each other. And she's like, Yeah. So Karen was like, Yeah, I thought she was gonna be more upset. But you know, she goes, I thought she was gonna be more upset. But, you know, she goes, I thought she was gonna be more upset about the bunk bed, given her length. But Stacy's attitude inspires me. Like her leg. She's too tall to fit in the bunk.

Yes. Oh, gosh. So now Jassy and Jacqueline are talking and Jassy's like, Okay, when I said neck up, I just meant that whatever going on, I can't deny that you're a beautiful woman. I wasn't thinking about, oh, how your body is shaped. I hope you don't think I was body shaming you. And Jacqueline's like, was it my outfit? And she's like, well, I don't like your outfit, Jacqueline, but that's not why I said that. She's like, well, it's fine. It's just an airport outfit. Mia likes it. Mia picked it out for me.

So now we go to Ashley's room and Ashley is FaceTiming with a guy about an event. And she just basically tells us that she is hosting a lot of shows like drag shows and comedy shows or whatever because she needs to make money because she is raising kids. So that's her journey right now. She's hustling. Okay. And then while she's talking, you hear a gunshot and then see a deer start running through the trees. Are you allowed to do that with your neighbor's home? Well, I don't know. I don't know. You're allowed to just literally hunt in the backyard. What the hell?

There wasn't a gunshot. It was Karen throwing a tree at throwing a chair at a tree to scare the deer. Dear my mortal enemy. never forget my plastic. You would have done this to me, you little fucker. So then they're like, Kierna and Stacey are figuring out their room and there's like a little dresser and Stacey is like, well, my clothes don't go in drawers, they have to be hung. I was like, ooh, I love that.

She's gonna be, like, I can sense Stacy's inner monster is like creeping towards the front, but it's not there yet. But like, I feel like we're seeing the little diva signs. It's gonna happen. Oh yeah. So then she's like, do you wanna use the bunk bed as a rack? And so they make friends. And so Kierna's like, so are you gonna hang up clothes

so they don't get wrinkled or what yeah exactly so stay there's like a walk them into a ball yeah how are we supposed to be ready in 45 minutes there have to be more bathrooms here right is this a bathroom oh that's a closet is this a bathroom that's a pac-Man machine. I love Pac-Man. I am so happy right now. So is that everything? She's going to be like crazy trying to convince everybody she's really happy energy and she has not given this in the past few episodes. So I'm confused as to where this energy is coming from because the past few episodes, yeah, I mean, she hasn't seen miserable or

anything but she hasn't been trying too hard to seem like she's like Pollyanna. So it seems weird that she's coming out with it this episode. So then Mia is talking to Jacqueline and asking if she's okay and Jacqueline's like, yeah, I'm okay. Karen's pissed. All I said was that I thought she was drinking and she turned this into some big shit. And Mia's like, Karen has to deflect, right? Because she doesn't want to talk about her citations, so she's going to talk about somebody and ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Jacqueline, it's your turn. I mean, it's right that Karen does like to deflect and stuff, but you also did come into a party for a lady that had just had

a DUI and told everybody at the party that she was just calling you drunk. Don't act like you were doing that to be messy. Give me a fucking break, lady. Yeah, that's true. Now, Stacey's sitting down with Karen and she's like, I have just been so grateful for the past few months, but being back home with my husband, soon to be ex-husband in Arabella, the closer we get to mediation, I have to tell Arabella that we're getting a divorce. And I don't know that I'm prepared to do that to Arabella. She's eight. Oh, God. Well, here's what you do. Get a syringe

and tell her this is only going to hurt your back for a moment, and then stick it in the spine and start sucking out some fluid. Because what those have are stem cells. Bring those to my house and you'll ask your daughter, do you remember anything I told you about the divorce? She won't, because those shots will be painful. But I'll comfort you and I'll look 10 years old again. Wow. I never thought a spinal tap was the way to go, but it apparently is. Thank you so much, Karen, for this wonderful advice. Now, you know I've never blown smoke up your ass. I've tried, but it's extremely tight.

So I want to talk to you here. Now, the girls have given some feedback. And she goes, oh, feedback? What's the feedback? Well, okay, I'm going to bring it to you slow. All right? They say you're boring, girl. They say you're boring. Every single one of them. Everybody hates you. Even the driver thought you were boring. I said, look, here's her on QVC. They all fell asleep. We ran off the road. I said, if I'm caught again, I drag that out with my fist. I pushed the car all the way back here just so I wouldn't get another trouble call from the cops. And here I am sweaty, but alive all because of your boring. Please stop being so boring. You're killing the show. Karen saying, I'm going to bring it to you slow. By the way, you're boring. If

that's her version of slow, this explains why she got into the accident. So I think she may have some issues. This is like the verbal equivalent of running into a tree. So Stacy goes, boring? Who said I was boring? No name calling. Well, you better tell me who. Well, it's just a general consensus. What I'm trying to say is that everyone thinks you're boring. Every single person. Listen, I want to bring this to you. I'm going to tell you, I want to let you down easily. Everyone hates you.

So funny. I love that she's like, I don't want you to feel bad and think it's somebody that I hate. It's everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone. There's no reason to call anyone out because it's a collective feeling. So Stacey goes, you know, I get all the jokes about Stacey is so happy, she's so quirky, I'm sorry that I'm joyful. I don't use my success to divide. I use my success and all this to unite people. And then we see this clip of her on QVC saying, as a proud Christian, I think that if you're picking up this beautiful trinket, what a wonderful way to stay close to God by putting this cross right on your

wrists. Am I right? I've now united all of you with my joy. Listen, if you really love God, you'll be sending me money soon, you know, that kind of vibe. And so she's like, you know, I just, I know it's so difficult for people to take it all in, you know, just understand the light know it's so difficult for people to take it all in, you know, just understand the light that shines through me. What is she a jack-o'-lantern? It's just me. It'll be okay. I'm not flammable. I mean, of course I could have chosen all sorts of different lanterns and lamps to be an example of light shining through, but a jack-o'-lantern is the only one that smiles. A permanent smile that's just a happy, happy, happy pumpkin. So Karen is like, you know, people like to come for what they aspire to be. Wait, are they aspire

to be born? Is that what she's saying? Yeah, I guess so. So they just want to be you. Very, very exhausting. You know, people do get addicted to ambient. It's a thing, so. So now they go onto this boat, a very narrow boat where I felt claustrophobic because you could tell that the camera people were like standing in the middle

and having to like pivot left and right just to get people into frame. And they get into the boat and everything and they go out and Captain Mike takes them out into the lake and they look around and everything and they have to keep cutting away to like the waves of the lake which feels very ominous it feels like someone's about to get thrown overboard or left being behind or something like that but they're just you know they're floating along and everything and Captain Mike has a little tidbit he He's like, excuse me, ladies.

Now Miss Mia, you'll see on the left, there's a bridge to Governor's Island and that's where celebrities are. He's like, yeah, yeah, celebrities, no race car drivers, Panther players, Inc. God, he's pretty much a celebrity around here. Inc. Huge. He's huge. And Stacey's like, well, we've gotten to know each other really well so fast, right? And Kieran was like, oh yeah, it's like personal between us because we have bunk beds. So we're like sisters now. And she's like, yeah, so deep.

We're sisters. Isn't that hilarious? Just you and me against the world. Not against, with the world. I love you guys. And Stacy is basically telling Jassy, like, you know, by the way, Jassy, we have a bed for you. We've got like seven beds. So Kierna, by the way, Kierna, out of all the women in the group, who are you not close with? It's like, my wonderful

producer asked you to ask that question. And Kierna was like, well, me and Ashley, of course, very interesting situation. And Stacey's like, oh really? Did she ever apologize for her role in everything that happened last year? Do you want to get mad about it right now? She's like, well, I wasn't ready to accept the apology, but I did press charges. That's an assault with a deadly weapon. Then I pressed my own charges,

the city did and then I did too. She's like, and what happens? What happened if you don't mind me asking? And she's like, oh, well, we're still waiting on the court day. And so Mia, she's asking me, she's like, so on Mother's Day, you posted a very nice photo of you and

Gordon and your beautiful children in ink. And was that here when you said it was New Year's Eve? And she's like, yeah, yeah. Sometimes Gordon's good with us all being together in the same house, sleeping under the same roof. And then sometimes he's like, who are you? And he pulls out a machine gun and he threatens everybody. And then we lock the bank and hide away from him

for a little while. And then it's okay for another little while. We're doing our best to take care of poor, poor Gordon during this difficult time. It's like, oh my God, Gordon went poor and now you're just like, look what you're doing to Gordon. She's like, poor, poor Gordon walking around all day in his hospital robe, flashing his butt to the innocent children who deserve none of this. Are you still married to Gordon? Nah. And he's like, mm-hmm. And she's like, well, that's a lot for him to

take I think. I mean, all of this is too soon and it's confusing. And I'm confused. The children are very confused. And he's like, yeah, well, he's on medication. Yeah, he's better. Like, you know, he's he's getting the help and he needs and she's like, that's her answer. She's like, it's confusing the children. She's like, well that he needs. And she's saying- I like that that's her answer. She's like, it's confusing to children. She's like, well, he's on medicine. No, it's not. It's confusing that you're living as three parents, I guess.

But listen, I'm all for alternative lifestyles. I mean, maybe the kids will be better having three parents, you know? Why not? Well, she talks about his, how he's dealing with being bipolar, bipolar and that like, when he gets manic, he starts spending cash and he wants to buy cars with cash

and he bought the G wagon with cash. We see a flashback to him being like, I'm gonna get a G wagon. And then what happens is it puts us, puts the marriage into a pickle. And then she, you know, Mia has to pick up the pieces and she's like, I'm not doing milk anymore. So Kierna, then we go back to Kierna,

who's talking about, you know, like to Stacey about like, oh wow, it's, you know, it's too bad you didn't fly with us, but I understand it's a serious situation with your uncle, you know, but by the way, they were talking about your dating and Stacy's like, well, Ashley was saying that like, I'm getting a divorce and I've got a new man and he, he, he, and I just didn't like that energy of it. So I had to say something.

Hey, wait a minute, Stacy. I said that he's a friend. I didn't say Stacy's getting a divorce and she's getting under a new man. Stop saying that. I didn't know it was a national secret. I think actually I'm on Ashley's side with this. I'm not really, because it's still Karen's thing to bring up to the group when she's like, here's my storyline Ashley. Now she's like, here's her storyline. Like, let the woman meter it out. I love that the QVC lady came so prepared for a storyline and stuff.

She already knows what she's doing. Yeah. So Karen says, well, I know that she is a very private person, a boring private person that we all agreed is very, very boring. Okay. On a scale of one to Captain Mike, how boring is Stacy? We're going to say three Captain Mikes out of five. You know, also QVC.

Quiet. Very. Cod. She's boring. Extremely boring lady. Quite very closed. Quite very. Quite very closed eyes.

Quite very closed eyes. Quite very closed eyes. Quite very closed eyes. Quite very closed eyes. Quite very closed eyes. Quite very closed eyes. Quite very closed eyes. Quite very closed eyes. Quite very closed eyes. Quite very closed, quite very, quite very closed eyes. I would come up with a word for the scene, but I'm exhausted even thinking about Stacey.

So I've lost all the energy to come up with a word. And so Wendy's like, well, this is, you know, everyone shares differently, okay? And then Kierna,acy, and Jassy are squeezing into sit with them. Estacy's like, well, I never thought I was gonna go through a divorce. I thought I was gonna be married forever

and I have a wonderful man who loves me and I just can't even start that relationship with him because I'm not done with my marriage. And the way you spoke about him in that moment, I just felt like you took someone special and you reduced it so I'm sorry I shouldn't have snapped at you I appreciate that but you very much were like Ashley you're messy you're messy and I think that's what unnerved you Ashley correct let's fight correctly here please I'm only here for a day yeah come on we need to do the full song not just

the first verse so Ashley Ashley's like, yeah, but she doesn't know me. She just met me. So how would she know? Yes, but you also spent hours at my house. Then you came over the next day, put your bunion on my marble countertops. And I thought we were getting to know each other, Ashley. I love it. This is very Karen coded, right? And then you put your feet on my countertop. Don't worry, I forgave you for that. But now you put your bunion feet on my marble, which is very difficult to clean. Yeah, Arabella eats there.

Yeah, you could have killed my daughter with your bunion disease. How dare you, ma'am. So Ashley is saying that she understands Stacey's position because she doesn't want her ex-husband to potentially hear about the new best friend or love interest, but she's like, I'm telling you from experience, it's going to eat you up from the inside. It's not fun for everybody. Stacey's like, ugh, what I would give to be eaten up on the inside. Anyway, I'm in new waters. So she's like, literally in new waters. TJ and I aren't intimate because he's a devout

Christian and I haven't been intimate with anyone in a year. And everyone's like, all the water is sucked out of the lake. It's like, I was married to a man that believes in the Lord and there was a whole lot of sex going on. I'm like, yeah, but look how that turned out too. Yeah, to be fair, Jamal has his own version of kind of preacherism. I don't know that I would really follow his example. Well, I would just say that I think that the sex wound up not so great in the end. But hey, at least there's always Arizona's the restaurant.

They got that restaurant. So Mia's like, Stacey's not so bad. That's my opinion. I'm going to stick that. And Jacqueline's like, me too. Whatever Mia said, I say the same thing. Yeah. So then Wendy's like, well, what are they talking about now?

So then Stacey's like, oh, and who called me boring? And she goes, I think I called you stiff, if that helps. And Wendy's like, I think it was Mia. It was Mia. OK, Mia called you boring. And she's like, so Mia, you called me boring, and then you gave me the kids' room? What's going on?

Is that where boring people sleep? Do you think kids are boring? What are you trying to say here? Mia? Well, we had a conversation at breakfast this morning and we all agree that you're just a little uninteresting Everyone's like when he's like out that was diabolical Stacy's like I know what I know it's a lot to take I move in a different way I don't let things bother me like a kid's bed with a safety rail.

I spread joy. That tickled me. And Karen's like, this is the Stacey I know, the girl that makes you crack your side. Look at that, everybody laughing, laughing, yawning. There's a couple of yawns, but still she's warming up. And what she's going through right now, I remember when I divorced, what that was like. I don't really, it was a long time ago, but I was still very upset about it. We need a supporter, everybody. Support

her, stop calling her Stacey. You're boring. I'm bored now. Are we going to continue this for a while? Get Stacey a cane, a top hat from tap dance shoes. Something please. God falling asleep here. You know, this friendship is like coming around just at the right time. Because like I'm like a vessel and everything I've been getting, I'm just going to give it right back to Stacey paying it forward. I'm like, what have you been getting, Ashley? I don't understand that. So we're going to get rid of them on all the nothing that's been done to her. OK. And by the way, you kicked them on all the, nothing that's been done to her. Okay.

And by the way, you kicked them out of the party, which was way worse. Yes, exactly. So Mia is like, all right, ladies, it's time to go back to the house now. So they are going and they're strutting and now they're back at the house and, um, they are, they're back at the house and they are there. Like there's some cocktails. Uh, there's bi-coastal queen, because, uh, Mia referred to herself as being bi-coastal because she lives in Potomac and also in Lake Norman.

So then just gives a speech and she's like, I need to say a couple of things. Now I have daughters, their names are Angel and Dore. I love them. They're going to college. They're learning to drive. They're graduating from high school. They're getting their vaginas frozen. Wait a minute, you're just going through every storyline

in the Housewives. I'm sorry. It's been a long, it's been a long few years. Okay, college, college, leaving soon. Karen, I'm mad at you. Let's fight. Well, Karen, there's already been some opening fights that we had with the newbies and now it's time for the main event. The lights have gone down, it's darkness, it's dinner time, so it's time for a main event fight. So I just want to say that the event of it all, you knew I had an event,

you knew how important the event was to me and to Ashley, and I feel like I'm being the utmost friend to you and I'm not getting it in return." And Karen's like, okay, I do want to address your dad's event. I needed my friends with me too that day to receive the Pet Boys honorary certificate of being a good person who has tires on their car. It was a big deal for me. I needed friendship at that car. It was a big deal for me. I needed friendship at that moment. And she's like, Karen, stop talking. Karen's like, well, you asked me what day it was. I said, I don't know. I don't know. Be there both events. I don't know. I told the ladies

come to my event because I didn't know when your event was. When was your event? Sunday, Friday, Thursday. Was it the same as mine? That's crazy. Nobody told me. Did you have an event? What was it the same as mine? That's crazy. Nobody told me. Did you have an event? What was it for? She's like, well, you, Aaron, stop fucking with me. All right, I'm very sorry that you decided to celebrate brain trauma on the same day that I had my very important event being honored by whoever it was that was honoring me. I don't remember, but I do remember the award was shaped like a fuzzy dice and it hangs in the front of a car window, which is very touching. It is a bit distracting. I hit a deer as I left that place. I wasn't drinking. Don't even question me, anybody.

It's just a shame that no one was there to see me win not one award, but two awards. Like, can't believe I was there. You only won one. You just saw two. Well, I accepted it with four hands. So, explain that one to me. Well, you said you weren't going to double the book. Well, I thought I was only booking a single thing, but apparently it was doubled. So, Karen is like, you know, you asked me specifically what day it was. And, you know, I do really regret that I was not there for you in memory of your father. However, I do not take responsibility for your behavior."

So, they stopped talking about my behavior, Karen. She goes, you could have been better. I raised you better than that, Giselle. She goes, no, you have not. And so, they're all laughing and Giselle's like, but moving forward, our communication can be better. She goes, it could be. I agree. Or do I agree? I don't agree. I don't know. Do I agree? Is it Saturday? Is it Sunday? I agree. With all of those things, you're forgiven, Giselle. Thank you for the apology in public. Girls, wasn't that good? Thank you, Giselle. Thank you. And again, I feel like I have 100% been there for you. And she goes, you have and I want the girls to know that

that Giselle has been there for me all over the place." Gisele's like, so if I'm going to be there for you... Except when she chose her father over me at my big award ceremony when she didn't show up. Instead, celebrated her father, which I suppose was an important day for her. So congratulations to you, and I will be waiting for an apology for you not coming to my award ceremony. Thank you.

All right. So we're going backwards now, Karen. So if I'm gonna be there for you, I want to feel it in return is my point. And Karen's like, hmm, I agree with you. And so, Gels... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha So she's like, I'm just sick of being mad at Karen, we need to clear the air and just dead this and bury it and move forward. I'm not gonna fight with her anymore. Okay, bye. I'm going back tomorrow. I have daughters. Like, bye. Say hi to your

daughters, both daughters, adorable daughters. All right, bye now. So some more of me as friends arrived because some of a whole batch of them already had arrived. And now some more of them arrive. And they're just like, they're like beautiful and cool. more of them arrive and they're just like they're like beautiful and cool they're well dressed they're just like everyone's like wow Mia has like cool friends you know everyone's pretty impressed and we are what everybody wants on their birthday Mia goes all right everybody here's the birthday girl just kidding here's my friends everybody go around and tell a funny story about me.

Yeah, on Wendy's birthday. So, Joy, Joy is Mia's friend, which goes, Well, I think the best funny story was ink licking your toes. So we linked it between the big and the second. Happy birthday, Wendy. You get that visual for your 40th birthday. Oh, yeah. We were on a yacht in Mexico and he actually picked my foot up on the table and licked my mouth. It was hilarious. So then Ashley who is Mia's another Mia's friend says like oh I met Mia 13 14 years ago and when I met her she was getting married to G and I was helping her shop for wedding shoes and all that and Jacqueline goes, well, I knew Mia before she had G like in the Honda Civic, unlike the 22 rims shopping at Payless. Okay, I'm number one. I'm the

first. First sidekick, first sidekick, number one Jacqueline, world's biggest Mia fan. She starts spinning out of control and everyone's like, okay, Mia is obviously trying to stake her claim and Mia's like, well, Mia is obviously trying to stake her claim. And Mia's like, well, there was a time where Joy and Karen and I went out in DC. And the funny story is when you left Karen, you butt dialed us. She goes, oh, did I? Oh, my butt was dialing. It was very active, very active butt. What did it say? Tell me what it said. She's like, well, it's you were with someone else and you said those girls think I'm with Rain.

She's like, I don't remember, I don't remember. I can't remember my name. What? Cool. How dare you? How dare, how dare, all 19 of you with this thing. Well, I broke, I broke, how dare you? Bad friend, Jackman sucks.

I'm not drunk, you're drunk. Messy Mia, that's so funny. It's so messy. Just ways to bring it up in front of the largest group possible. I guess you want to have Joy there as backup, but that's probably why she invited Joy in the first place was out Karen. Butt dialing and saying something shady. I love this combination. Like what the parallels between Karen and Shannon Badour. They both get GYs. They both are being accused of burdening their friends with drunken phone calls and they both have had dials that are

being weaponized against them. It's true. How many seasons is it that Karen is accused of cheating on Rey? I think it's so funny that like every season there's a new story of Karen just fucking around all over town on me. It's so funny. What every season there's a new story of Karen just fucking around all over town on. So funny. What? Blue eyes? Old blue eyes.

So Mia picking up Robin's mantle of outing Karen for affairs. So you'd love to see it in a much funnier way. Yes. Much funnier about it than Karen, than Robin was. Robin would be like, you had an affair. But Mia's like, so I heard from my bed. So yeah, well, this is the gift for Wendy, the birthday gift is scandal.
