So go check that out. And without any further ado, let's just like dive into this because people have been talking about Roni for the past week Not necessarily in a good way. A lot of people were upset about the prank

Betrayed the trust of the audience quite a bit, you know, we were on Jeff Lewis Earlier today and we didn't really talk too much about the fact that like Jeff went on to watch what happens live I was like, yeah, I don't like pranks. And I think this is bad. And I think this was wrong. And I, you know, I think, I think it was a bad move, bad move of this show to build to, it's okay to have a prank, but the way that they framed it on this episode, I think that they're going to have to do a lot of, a lot of work to get that good will back from the audience that they've squandered. I mean, it's not just the way that they framed it on the show, it's that they based the whole season on this one thing.

It's like coming up this season, this thing happens. And so people are like, oh my God, this show has some life in it. And it turned out they do not. It was just a joke. But you know, whatever. That's like, and we move on. You know what I mean?

Like, it's too boring to keep talking about over and over again, you know? We've got new things. But the show, this is the show that never learns its lesson, as we know. I've said it 9 million times this year. So they're not going to learn their lesson from this even in the moment. They are going to add on to this and make it more of a storyline by changing it and making it that Brynn never even knew it was a... It was actually, I was surprised actually by the turn that this took. It's like I get it now, like in some ways it's kind of brilliant what they did. Like they got us all mad. They got the audience so mad about this prank. And then we find out that there's way more, not way more that's

interesting, but way more to the story. So basically we come back to the dodgeball court and you know, they're like, oh my God, oh my God, all this stuff about the, about this rumor that's going around and you know, cause Rebecca has walked off, has stormed off, allegedly furious and Erin has gone after her. And now Erin and Rebecca walk back and side like I don't even know what to do with my facial expressions oh my god and then Rebecca's like guys so Gavin does not know about this I I told him the reason why I'm feeling sick is because

my diva cup keeps falling out of the weird things to my body but that's it. So Rebecca's like, so you guys have to zip your fucking leaky mouth, leaky mouths, okay? And then it's like, wait, so your husband, he doesn't know that you're what's like, it's early, it's just five weeks. So who told who aside from this, Aaron, which is a whole other situation, I'm very, very, very upset with Aaron. Very, very, very upset with Aaron.

Nobody from that 70s show is ever going to be nice to Aaron again. I can promise you that much. But I would never say anything to anyone that you're pregnant, because I know you're not supposed to say anything until three months. But that being said, I did tell my mother and about five other people off camera, but that's it. That's all I've spoken to. So Brent, did you tell them? And Brent's like,

No, honey, I didn't tell them you're pregnant. I just told them I heard other things. Beep, beep, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Mostly you told them I need bottle. I'm sexy. Yeah, I told them people that you do like a Russian roulette with like other nails. Ah, that's what you do, gaff gaff, have fun fun. Interesting, so rumors are going around then, and she's like, yeah, that you and gaff gaff

like to have fun fun. It's less offensive if I just say things twice. Gaff gaff, fun fun. Ah, see, that's great. So Jenna tells See? It's great. So Jenna tells us Jenna's like upset because she's like, you know, Brynn likes to embellish, you know, and I'm just like bummed that she's like gossiping about someone's marriage that could like do potential damage their marriage. I went through

that because I was out on page six, I have trauma. So then Rebecca is basically like, hey, Brinn, you're extremely quiet. Brinn's like, I'm just like having my thoughts, Becky. So then Aaron's like, okay, Rebecca, you should just tell them, like tell them, it's like so hilarious, just like tell them. So it comes out. Rebecca's like, guys, we're fucking with you.

We just wanted to see who the leaky pigeons are, and now we know who the leaky pigeons are. It's you guys. It's Rin. And so they start cracking up. And Erin's like, okay, here's how it happened. Last Tuesday, Rebecca and I are having lunch and a light bulb goes off in Rebecca's head. And she says, I think it's hard in a big group

when there's a leaky pigeon. Who's the leaky pigeon? Shouldn't it be leaky pitcher, by the way? It's driving me nuts that the entire episode they keep saying leaky pigeon. Like a leaky pigeon is really actually, of course it'd be Rebecca Minkoff to create a concept of a leaky pigeon.

She just loves leeks. Even Even she even projects it onto animals. How about a pigeon that just has a pigeon with diarrhea just flying around like Rebecca? She started with the pigeon thing from fucking uva as just pigeon, pigeon, this pigeon that you're all pigeons. And so now they've turned it into the pigeon is leaking. Oh, now we, you're all pigeons. And so now they've turned it into the pigeon is leaking. Oh, now we've got leaky pigeons. So Rebecca's like, guys, we just came up with a really funny harmless rumor that she's pregnant.

Maybe just you just didn't know, like who the dad is. And so Aaron's like, yeah. And then the following day, I go to lunch with Jessel and Brynn and I find the perfect moment to drop the news. And it was when I dropped the news. Whoa, good one, Aaron. So then Raquel is, so we see the conversation, right? We've already seen it, but Brynn's like,

is she pregnant again? Who's the dad? And Aaron's like, it's not even a joke. They're not sure yet. She had one night, like a crazy night, guys. It was just one crazy night. Yeah. Basically, it's like everything we saw last week. The only new thing that we see is that when Abe, the babe, and Aaron go out to a double date with Mal and Raquel, Aaron

actually tells Raquel that there's a prank going on. So Raquel actually knew. I think that was, oddly enough, a pretty nice thing because she's prank going on. So Raquel actually knew I think that was oddly enough a pretty nice thing Because like she's the new girl. So she's like look, I'm in my mind I'm thinking she's telling Raquel because she's like I'm gonna spare her, you know, so Then you know, they're just talking about like the seeds were planted. The rumors are gonna spread far and wide Wide so now we're back to dodgeball and Jussell's like I don't know guys That was that kind of a fucked up lie. And so I was like, yeah, that was like really fucked up guys. So they're like, you know, Aaron

has this look on her face. She's so proud. She's like taught people a lesson. And you know, the audience is just like, I can't believe we we fell for this bullshit. But also, and Uberwe says it the best, when she says, if I were Erin, and Rebecca comes up to me and says, let's find leaky pigeon, I would be like, girl, I don't think I'm the one you should be going to,

because I'm like the leaky leak of all the leaky pigeon, because Erin is the worst. I mean, Erin ties with the brain as being of the worst, of like, oh my God, how are you feeling about her? Here's how she's feeling about you. Well, also like Aaron has spent the whole season. I won't tell anybody. She's pregnant. I mean, the whole thing was Erica was Erica, Aaron, sorry, two recaps in a day. I'm like, Erica, the whole thing was Aaron leaking it in the first place. How's everybody else in trouble?

Exactly. Well, the whole and the thing is that like, Aaron's whole thing with Brynn is that Brynn always goes and gossips and puts her own spin on things. And it makes people look shitty. So the whole purpose of this, this prank is to out Brynn as someone who does this. But it's Aaron who does it. I mean, Brynn does it too doesn't exonerate Brynn. But Aaron does it and she does it a lot yeah, and this whole episode is actually exposing that Erin does add sizzle or

Has lies by omission and lets people infer things so Ubers so Erin's like just let their record stand I would never say someone was pregnant if they asked me not to because guess what, I have a secret about almost every person here. It's like we should just stopped the first sentence. Why are you saying that? Because then it was like, Oh, no, you have you don't have a secret about me. Do not lie. Do not lie. If you do tell it to the group right now you

lying bitch. I know for 100% sure you do not have a secret about you basic basic bitch who drinks water from glasses. She's like, okay, I don't have a secret on you then. She goes, okay, so don't say everyone. And she was like, what is she doing? What is she, the mafia? You know? And Rebecca's like, well, I think this just teaches us all a lesson. If you want to keep a secret, don't tell these two. And she points to Jessel and Brynn. And so Brynn's like, oh yeah, you need new material. Like you need better jokes. What are you so defensive at? She still might even come at you like you deserve. You just went and told everybody that she's like a total whore.

Like, yeah. What do you, you do not, you do, you have no room to be defensive right now, man. Yeah. And then when later on we find out that Brynn knew it was a prank. So she was adding lots of sizzle to this prank, hoping to get other people being like, wow, Becca's a slut. So Brynn is basically like, why are you testing us? Okay. This isn't SAT prep. Like unless you're in an Ivy League school, you don't need to test people, let alone friends. Like I think, see, don't say you need better jokes and then you make that clunky one right there, okay? But also to be like, oh, you don't need to test us.

You failed the test, you know what I mean? Like, obviously you do need to test. You're like someone who hits another car in parallel parking, you know, like there shouldn't even be testing. You're the reason that there's testing, know what I mean? So then Jessel's like, excuse me,

do not include me in this. I told my mother and that's it. And then we see her telling her mother, you know, and then Raquel's like, you told your mom? She's like, well, I thought she was getting pregnant and knocked up by some random and I was like, I have to tell somebody. Then we see that shot again of her mom going, what? So, now, I love her mom. So now it's another day. So Brynn goes and meets Jessel at like a patio. They're wearing captain's hats. It's fleet week in New York City. So they've gone out to some bar to find sailors, I guess. I want to find me a sailor. It's fleet week.

So they, Jessel and Brynn sit down to have this lunch. And they are just talking about sailors coming in and Brynn, this of course gives Brynn a chance to make all the most obvious jokes. Like, I'm just like lost at sea with like no semen in sight. Just Jessel. Well, I need someone to push my chair in, but I think I just have to do it myself. Do you want to switch chairs? Do you want to switch chairs? You can use my face.

Just kidding. Just kidding. So, pretend I'm Puppet. That's hilarious. So, now they start talking about the third child thing, which I still, I don't know, do I not believe it or do I just not care? I don't get people going this crazy over having a third child, you know? Aren't the first two painful enough?

Look at them, just over there knocking everything over everywhere they go. Yeah, so, but she's talking about how Jessel says they've got a therapist from Mexico who's really help us navigate and you know, but then she goes, he's really cool because he's from Mexico. She's like, oh, wow. So then Jessel's like, well, as long as this day is shot since no one was able to push in my chair, why don't you tell me about your love life? Who are you dating? And so Bryn Charles talks about like being in your late 30s, the pool of eligible men is much smaller. The good guys are all gone,

they're all taken. And when she was in her 20s, it was much easier, but she's been freezing her egg. And she's kind of like, man, why did I take Plan B so many times? Like why did I take Plan B when I had so many great options? I never should have done that. She was like, I just feel like Carrie Bradshaw, making the biggest mistake of her life, not marrying Aidan. Ah. So sad that you're still comparing yourself to Carrie Bradshaw, like, please.

Also, I feel bad for this guy, because she's talking about the billionaire Hugh Cant, who's just like a goofy version, like fun house mirror version of Hugh Grant. And I feel bad for him, because she's just like a goofy version, like fun house mirror version of Hugh Grant. And I feel bad for him because she's just kind of using this dude. And he's like, all right, someone's talking to me, I'm in. I know.

Pretty girl talking to me about 20 years, I'm a junior, I'm in, what do I need to do? You know? Yeah, I mean, here's sort of a hot take that this scene when Brynn was talking about like, freezing her eggs and how it's tough, I actually, I liked this, I felt like this was actually a very honest thing that she was sharing and like how it is tough

and all that stuff. And I was like, this is the Brynn that I like, I like when she's just like, being more real. And then all but then it's like, so what we're gonna do is we're gonna have like a baby, we're gonna borrow a baby for a day and like see how it is a little baby. I was like, okay, and what we're gonna do is we're gonna have like a baby, and we're gonna borrow a baby for a day and like, so I do some baby. I was like, okay, and now we're back to like, you know, like, the silliness. This is actually not her fault. But like, the show is like, like, just let her, like, let her have a real moment. Why do we have to have us like a scene of like, we're

gonna see what it's like to be parents for a day. I was like, Oh, I don't know if I'm articulating myself, right. But I just had a glimmer of feeling like there was something, you know, compelling about Brynn. And I was like, I became very quick to realize, oh, this is like a fleet week itself. It will be fleeting because we're going to go into like a fake scene of like child rearing. Well, at least it wasn't a doll baby, because that would have been worse. At least it was a real kid. I didn't even catch this because when the scene actually came up, I was like, who the fuck is that kid? Why is there a child in my room?

I never really got it. I was like, why is there a kid here? Are they not going to talk about how the kid ended up here? Did it just happen to crawl up to the fifth floor and they're too afraid to let it crawl down by itself? Like what happened? Yeah. No, I mean, Bryn's like, yeah, like little, like my friend Laura is bringing over Luca and Gideon and I are gonna test drive a two-year-old to see if we could be co-parents. I guess what I'm trying to say is that like, I thought what Brynn was sharing was compelling.

Cause I felt like it was honest. You said she was being truthful and then she resorted to a stupid hack, you know. Then you realized, oh, this is just set up for like another classics or reality show scene of like, can we be parents? I was like, oh, okay. Like it just went from being interesting to a groan.

Yeah. So then, um, she's like, uh, Jessel's like, so you just think that he's in love with the idea of you? And she's like, no, unfortunately, I think like he's actually into me, which is like so crazy. And she's like, why do you say that? What's wrong with you? By the way, there's no sailors here.

Just don't answer because I really don't care. Does anybody, you okay? Where are the sailors? And they're like, Chelsea, girl. When do you think they come? You think sailors are going to come out of here and get a mediocre blowjob? They're in fucking Hell's Kitchen, fucking Chelsea. Yeah. So now, Jenna's in her bathroom and she has a black eye from dodgeball. She's like, huh, I'm like kind of into my black eye. It's like pretty cool. I think it's like extra spice. I like it. But also I'm pretty strong, but she's also kind of a bitch. And then Uber's on the phone with someone named Wendy and she's like, hi, this is Uber.

I've been stalking your Instagram with pictures and the picnics, I want to do a picnic with I want to have a perfect picnic. And Uba's basically like, yeah, we're 35. We're not playing dodgeball for fun. We're gonna have a fancy picnic instead. So then Mel and Raquel go to like a sex museum. Isn't this a sex museum or is this, there's a lot of like the giant,

like this episode is like sex toys and like, what's the other one? It's like sex toy, sex toy, freezing eggs and in vitro. Reproductive elements. You know, yeah, this is like a real place. I feel like I walked by this place. I feel like it's on like fifth avenue or something like that. Something random like near the Empire State building.

I just remember I was walking remember I was walking by there recently and I was desperate in need of like lunch and I think I got like a piece of, I think I got like a- Dildo. Grocery. I got a dildo. I went and I ate a dildo. They had the most- I digested that. It's like gum from the fifth grade. They have an amazing cafeteria there. They have kale salads in the shape of penises.

I don't know how they do it. I love its kale. It's just so gross looking. It's like, oh, geez, that's really vain. That's kale. They're like, it's actually supposed to represent body parts in the 70s. So there's a lot of kale. I'm a lunatic right now. I don't know what I'm talking about. So they're in there here. Oh, you know what? I'm sorry. This is the sex shop. This is different. This is like a sex shop. This isn't. Now I know why you were saying what you're saying, because I got confused with the sex shop with the sex museum that they had on this episode. Right, yeah, I'm just saying like every scene is something to do with either a sex store,

or you know, the sex paraphernalia, or eggs, or in vitro, or something like that, you know, or trying out a baby or whatever. Yeah, which- So I mean, I guess maybe that's on, maybe it's a theme, I don't know. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappinins commercial. Have you ever wondered who created

So then Raquel's like, oh gosh, so what is this a speak easy sex shop? I mean, this is so New York. This is just so New York. And it's like in an office building and they're like, wow, this is so wild. So basically we find out that this is some, they're going to have a ball for their engagement party and she means, uh, like the old, like drag queen, like, like Paris is burning. I actually liked this, what she means like the old like drag queen. Like Paris is burning. I actually liked this one.

She's like, she tells the person behind the counter like, yeah, we're going to do like a ball for the theme. And she's like, you know, like with pose and the employee is like, yeah, so like not like Cinderella, Cinderella more like I was like, I love that. She was like, you don't have to explain to this person what a ball is. She knows she She starts doing the whole dance. She knew long before Pose, ma'am. And then Raquel, just trying to explain like gay men things. She's

like, Ballroom, it's an underground dance culture started by young queer men of color. It's about being fierce, but most of all, it's about community and supportive environments, making us all feel loved. Those are values we treasured. I hope my mom comes." Yeah. So, the whole thing is that she has a fraught relationship with her mom these days, and she hopes that her mom is going to come to this engagement party that's also going to feature

various, you know, ball gags and whips. That just cracks me up. She's like, God, my mom's very, you know, she was progressive, but then she became really religious and conservative and it just changed her. She got brainwashed. And I really hope she comes to this BDSM party I'm throwing because it would really hurt my feelings if she didn't. So they try and all sorts of stuff. This is so funny to me. This scene is so wild. She's just such a self-serious person too, you know? But like ultimately silly at the end of the day. Yeah, I really like Raquel and we've said this a million times.

I think we both really like her. We're just not sure that she's really like it for a Real Housewife. So then we go over to Erin and her mom and they're at like some kids play experience thing called Genius Gems. And Jessel and her mom and Jessel's two little monster children come in and immediately start knocking everything over and pushing people into garbage cans and spilling all the fire alarms.

Genius Gems, I was like, wow, it's a diamond shop? Nope, it was just a place where you could either have intelligent children playing with blocks and putting them together or terrible children just punching the blocks and knocking everything over. Yes. Some are builders, some are knocker overs. You can guess which one that was.

You were probably writing about the builders. These builders are terrible. Terrible builders. I was probably organizing people one person at a time. probably writing about the builders. Like these builders are terrible. Terrible builders. I was probably organizing people, like one person at a time. And then people started knocking them over. And here's what I'd like to say,

parents, do you not take care of your children in the gem store? Please take care of your children. Just do blogging. I'm like, here we go, the final piece in my representation of the I Am Peg pyramid in front of the Louvre. Oh my God, who knocked over my pyramid? So fun. Okay. So yeah, so they're at that place. And then we see Brynn going to the

Museum of Sex. So it's another sex shop scene. And she's like, oh my God, I feel like I'm coming home. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Yeah, it really goes exactly the way you'd expect it. And I think that the big, like the joke here is that we're gonna cut back and forth between Jessalyn and Erin playing with her kids doing something wholesome, but the rest of them are like grabbing dildos and like a glory hole reenactment. Yeah.

And so, um. It's funny. So, they're like, so, Brin, so it's Raquel, Brin, and I think Psy comes and Uba. So, um, or is that a different scene? No, it's the same scene. I don't know. Yeah, it's the same scene. Okay.

So then. It's the same compelling scene, yes. They're like, so what do your orgasms feel like, Brin? And she's like, um, like my whole body. Yes. They're like, so what are your orgasms feel like? Brandish? Like my whole body. Yeah. No, I've had people tell me like you're super hot, but like you look stupid when you come. So then we, you know, there's a lot of sort of back and forth stuff. That's really not that interesting, but eventually we,

we land back at genius gems. If I have to say genius gems one more time, I swear to God. So Erin is like, so what did you think about dodgeball? And just like, Oh my god. It's like, yeah, you were freaking out. Guess what, mom, we played another prank. It was Rebecca's idea to see like she was like pregnant. And she's gonna say like where she's pregnant and doesn't know who the father is because she has like four kids. And Jess's mom is like, a one night stand for a joke? What? And Jess was like, well, I'm not trying to spread a rumor like that.

And they're like, yeah, of course. And Jess was like, well, that's a serious accusation and definitely not about Rebecca Minkoff. And then Bryn walks in and says, and then I asked around and people are saying XYZ. And I was like, seriously? I had no idea she was going to go and say she called around and found out that they're like freaking. And like, I don't think she wants to spread the rumor because she doesn't like Rebecca I think she just likes to spread rumors or Rebecca is an easy target for her. So then we go back to the sex museum and Brynn is

like okay everyone so Jessel, Erin and I go to lunch and then Erin tells this whole story and like Jessel believed her but like I didn't and then like afterwards Erin and I had a drink and she told me that she was pregnant but that the dude part was like a prank and so like, like Erin told me and it was just like the fact that they didn't know the father was was the prank and I'm like, okay, I'll be in on it. I was like, wow, Brynn is like, like Brynn, you've been caught, you're caught and you're trying to wiggle your way out of it. That's what I thought at this point. That's what I was thinking too. And I still don't really know what to think

except that I know that Erin's also a goddamn liar. So it's not like I don't trust, it's not like I trust her either. But Brynn, yeah, so Brynn's saying she didn't, she knew that the pregnancy thing was a prank. So she's gonna add some sauce to it and tell everybody on purpose that Rebecca's being a slut. And this was the setup. So then we cut back and I was doing that mostly for myself to keep this off. You

didn't say anything wrong. I'm just like trying to get it. No, I can see it. Sometimes it's a lot. It's just too stupid. It's too many details for such a stupid plot. Okay. So then Jessel's like, wait, did she know? And Aaron's like, no, she wasn't in on it. And then she tells us in the typical shady Aaron way. She was like, I actually did she know? And Erin's like, no, she wasn't in on it. And then she tells us in the typical shady Erin way. She was like, I actually told Brynn after we got a drink, which I'm not doing with her anymore, by the way. And she was like, did she really fuck other guys?

And I was like, eh. And that was me being like, eh, exactly like it was, which means I don't know, but no. Why, how does that exonerate you or justify that? Like you don't just tell people she is fucking other guys and got pregnant from another guy. Was she, wait, was she sleeping with another guy? Yeah. I don't know.

How do you say the inflammatory part on camera and then off camera be like, well, maybe it was a lie. And then you're gonna go and start accusing Brynn of being like gossiping and lying and putting sizzle on it on camera and then turn it having us all turn against Brynn. I mean, look, Brynn does a lot of things for us to turn against it. Brynn does a lot of work herself. But you can't do this whole season of like, Brynn goes and tells Jenna that I said

this, she always puts her sizzle on things. That's what she does. And that's why I'm mad at Brynn. But you were actively putting a sizzle you actually are setting up Brynn. And please don't make me advocate for Brynn here. But you are kind of on Brynn's side about this. I mean, I kind of am, but I just don't believe the whole thing. Because then why didn't Brynn at the when this all happened and Rebecca and Aaron were like, haha, we got you guys wasn't why wasn't Brynn like, yeah, yeah, we got you guys. That was funny. She got defensive

against Rebecca was like, you need to come up with more jokes. Well, because telling her why were you lying about stuff? Brynn didn't stand up for herself. She just got really defensive and started being mean. So because she still was because she still was half pranked because she she thought one half of the prank, she knew one half the prank was a prank, but she didn't know the other half the prank was a prank so she still got pranked so she could either choose the I'm a pranker or I'm the pranky and she shows

I'm gonna be the pranky I have a chance to be to be indignant right now and to be upset at someone's thing when I choose that path okay so then we go back to the sex museum and Raquel is like so everyone this is so weird because we were on a double date and she told me she didn't know. And that she was like trying to seek out like a leaky pigeon. And then, you know, basically Brynn tells everyone like, yeah, like I thought this was a fun prank and everything. And I knew about it. So she tells everyone that she knows and everyone's like, so this is kind of fucked up because basically, she did this prank. And then she

told you, but then she tells Raquel that you had no idea about it. So she's like, everyone was like lying to Raquel about Brin's involvement in the prank. To make it look like Brin's just going around and making up horrible slut stories about right when Brin was Brin thought she was just like making the prank more fun because she knew it was a prank so she was it was it ultimately was just like a prank on Jessel because Jessel's the only one who had no idea that it was a prank as usual one size I didn't know oh yeah but yeah

size involvement was for like 45 seconds, but Jessel actually had a dinner and then she went to a jewelry store with her mom and told her mom to go to a therapist in Mexico, you know, the whole thing. So then Uwe is saying, well, I was getting really uncomfortable and I think Bren sensed it.

And so she saved the day by telling me it was a prank. And then Bren's like, but I did think she was pregnant when we were playing dodge ball. And Raquel's like, so you thought she was pregnant, but you thought she was pregnant with her husband's baby? And she's like, yeah. So then we go back to Erin and Erin's like, I mean, if someone told me they were pregnant early on

and said, don't say anything, I would never say it. You know me. You know what? Here's what we do. Here's what we definitely know about Erin. She's a terrible pranker like this is this is the second season a row where her pranks have fallen so fucking flat last year was about the phone and then she's like, why is a joke? And this year, this year she's I'm actually like angry at how bad she is of a prankster because she

goes on Rebecca's like, everyone says I'm boring. So I'm going to do a prank. And Aaron's like, I'll do it with you. And then she basically fucks up Rebecca's pray for it. Let Rebecca have her prank. You ruin Rebecca Minkoff's prank. Yeah. So Dorothy is like, well, people have to be able to trust you. And Aaron says, yeah, that was the moral of the story. So says the lady who just completely fucked somebody over during the prank. I mean, what the hell? Yeah.

So then, Uba's like, you know, okay, listen, I'm thinking I could be wrong, but I think the reason she told you it was a prank was because she wants you to do it and then go around to everyone else and say, look, look, who's the leaky pigeon? Because if she didn't tell you it was a prank, then you would not have said it. And I was so glad that it was taking Uba a minute to piece it together because I was like, oh, okay, I'm kind of getting it now because I didn't really get it. I still thought Brynn was lying at this point. So then Uba is like, well, why didn't Erin come and tell me the story?

Why didn't she tell me? Because she knows I wouldn't tell anybody. So she found someone who does exactly what she wants, which is fly away with the message, which is so true. And Erin and Brynn do this with each other. They just they probably get together and are like, let's do this storyline and let's do this and then we'll fight over this. Yeah. And Sai is actually the one who has some sense and she's like, you know what it's safe to say that Erin already failed her own test. She leaked this prank to Raquel. She leaked this prank to Brynn. And out of all the women in this group, Aaron is the last person who needs to be testing people on who is a leaky pigeon, and what the fuck is a leaky pigeon in the first place? It's disgusting. Get the pigeon a diaper, put it down. If we've got leaky pigeons in New York, something tells me there could be a public health issue going on. So Raquel's like, she wanted to believe that you're a leaky pigeon and that you're like this

terrible person that would go out and tell us these things because she told me that you and Jessel bought it hook, line and sinker. I feel like Erin manipulated the situation. She left out Brynn was going to be a part of it. So the minute Brynn started speaking, I was like, holy shit Brynn's a pigeon. This is fucked up. This is the most convoluted, uninteresting storyline. It's so hilarious. And yet I, you know what? I can't keep saying it's uninteresting because the way that I am actually shouting

into the microphone, It's getting more interesting. For sure. No, for sure. Like I have to say, I was with everyone else. I was really upset with the prank last week, but actually seeing what it's actually revealing is surprisingly interesting. I'm okay with this. Here's something really fucked up. Okay, they put this on right after Beverly Hills, right? Which Beverly Hills is their highest rated show. And it's not that I'm actively

rooting against New York, but this was the highest ratings of the season. They got 0.406 million viewers. So that's 400,000 people, which, you know, isn't great, but for them it's good. I mean, they've been around 300,000. So this was this stupid plot line in there in the network's mind because all they do is look at these ratings is like, ah, see, it's good now. We fixed it with that stupid prank storyline. Yeah, because I think that the show, the show is now going into like, big hate watch territory where people are like,

I'm so mad about that prank. I just want to watch it again and get mad about something else. So now they're talking about this, but it is kind of fucked up what Erin did, because Erin is framing Brynn in this situation. So then ultimately they're all upset and then it was like, okay, well I have to go to a picnic.

Goodbye everyone. And then she like slides down a blowjob. There's like a mouse. It's like, yeah, now you can know what it's like to be semen during a blowjob. And she's like, and then she's like screaming for a while. She's like, and then you just hear her crash. She like winds up on the sixth train.

Then we go to Jessalyn Povett and he's bringing bowls of snacks to the table. And she's like, what is this? A freaking fiesta? This is supposed to be therapy. Why don't you just get a Corona? And he's like, we should have tacos. We're talking to someone in Mexico.

It's it's she's like, I'm not eating on this call. And he's like, well, we'll all we're just going to have some chips and salsa, which by the way, it's not appropriate to be snacking while you're talking to a therapist. So I'm not guilty now. Just like, OK, hi, Joe, thank you for your patience with us. So um, they're talking to this therapist about this whole thing and talking about how puppet is always the first to

it's time to say certain hard truths, which is, you know, we all love part of it last season, because poppets pop it and does his little food things. It's so amusing. I think he's like a little too aware of how much we all loved him and he's trying to like lean into this character. And I think what's happening is he's just being a dick because you're like you're in therapy right now and like you have a professional on the phone, you're eating chips and salsa

and everything is always like a little joke like the wink wink. It's like, okay, we get it, Povit. Just let us love you the way we loved you last season. I think people sometimes people are just like that, you know? And then you're married to Jessel who's constantly just going and going until she gets what she wants. It's like, do you want children? Nope.

Do you want them now? Nope. Do you want them now? Nope. Can I have another kid? Nope. I'm going to get a therapist. Okay.

Therapist. You tell them, do you want a kid? Nope, I still don't. Why don't you want a kid? I told you I don't. Then the therapist is like, why don't you want a kid? Shouldn't you all want kids to have a kid? But then it turns out the private kind of does want a kid because then he admits that he was 99% against kids, but that 1% is there. And then the doctor is like, oh, great. So, there's 1%. And he's like, yeah, so maybe we can have another kid. I was like, oh, God. So this is just your game. You just say no multiple times until someone talks you into it. That kid's gonna feel very, very lucky when they watch this later.

Yeah. Also, Jess will beware of a passive aggressive chip because we saw it happen with Shannon Madure and the fact that they're doing this therapy. And she's like, you know, we're just so busy with kids and with work and you're just like, sometimes you sort of forget. Yeah, I'm sorry. Povets having a salsa party in honor of you being in Mexico City. She literally said that. That sounds like something we would say. She said it. Fried chicken committee having a fiesta today. Congratulations. You just learned about mezcal, courtesy of Erin. Yeah. So then a profits like well, if I had to bet money, will we have a baby girl next year? I don't bet money, but I

will bet a flauta. We'll see. So by the way, by the way, also his reasoning for not having a third child is not because like, this is good. Actually, he's not like, Oh, hey, you know, I just, I only want to have two children. A lot of work, but he's like, no, when we travel right now, we're four people. That's one hotel room, five, five, five, three kids. Now you're at five. That's two hotel rooms. That's expensive. I was like, okay, miles work differently. Miles worked differently. Literally said, Miles worked differently with five.

So I don't think he's even leaning into it. I think that's just who he is. And it's like, it's one thing to say, look, we just don't have the resources to support three children and we don't have the room or we don't have the bandwidth, whatever. He's like, no, my miles, I don't think we can do it. He was more worried about the miles. All right. So now we get the Brynn trying out a two-year-old. So Luca comes over. You can't. Oh, no. Luca's a toddler. And so what's the other guy's name? I forget. Gideon comes over. Gideon. Yeah. And so Brynn's like, oh my God, can we hide from Gideon?

I will say, I mean, Brynn is really good with kids. I like really just like one. She talks to them. She was already talking to them in the kid voice. So he comes over and he's like, oh, I thought we were doing a wine tasting today, but we're babysitting. That's so fun. So glad I cancelled my return trip to London for this. Okay, well, okay, let me pour some of this $1,000 Dom Perignon that Heather Debreu gave me. I'm going to pour it in my glass. Oh, you put your Tonka truck in it. Thank you. All your Hot Wheels. I love that and my expensive champagne. So lovely. Glad I came over today. Thank you so much. Well, I haven't talked to Gideon much about whether or not he wants kids, but he didn't when we were together. He just didn't want them. He said, if you want to, we will.

But he's like, I'm good with that kids, because he likes his life, you know, but he's never going to be like gung ho on the kid thing, but he's really rich, so I'm going to have a kid with him. So. So I was just like thinking like, maybe, like I've got some eggs and like, maybe we could like go bury it.

Like, and he's like, I've got some eggs and like, maybe we could like, go bury it. And he's like, Oh, um, I would love that. Because I'm on television. Just, I just have to, let me just think about how I will tell my mother. And let me just, let me just imagine it. Okay. And yes, it will be awful. Great. Got it. Yeah. God, it's fucking I don't think he's he says that he'd be down to do it. But I don't think he is. I think I'm just such a desperate ploy. It's like, okay, I dumped you not gonna date you anymore, but you are still rich,

so I'd love you to be the father of my children. You want to? That's so offensive. I mean, this guy is just such a goofball. He's like, who? Maybe I have a chance still. And please trim your chest if you're going to do your open shirt like that, Gideon. You seem like a fairly nice person, but you're saddening me today.

You're saddening me. It was a lot. There's a lot of hair going on. I just needed that one Gideon scene of sitting in that fancy car and then he's like, he's the one that got away. And then he never calls back. You know, it's like you had your chance. I'm a billionaire.

Goodbye. But this whole like still showing up and like, I don't know, I feel bad for Gideon. What's wrong with Gideon? I don't know. It looks like he went through something since last season. I feel like he's like 10 years older. His hair is big and poofy. A drying cycle. He looks like he was left in the dryer for too long.

I know. I was like, Oh God, someone check in on Gideon. So now we go to a picnic in Central Park. This is Uba. Uba's picnic, the perfect picnic. Because Wendy, the party planner, was like, I've got a great idea for you. We're going to make you the perfect picnic. So here it is. The perfect picnic has arrived. And there are tons and tons of little, little pigeons that don't appear to be leaking, which is great. Yeah, pigeons are the theme of the season. So then they have little wooden pigeons and then Uber's like, oh my God, I've decided to invite these girls to show them how to be classy. So, you know, we get this is New York. So everybody arrives and it's five minutes of, Oh my God, you look amazing. What are you wearing? Oh my God, you look so pretty. Oh my God, you are still wearing clothes right now. Oh my God, everybody

looks like they're wearing clothes right now. So, uh, Brian is like, yeah, I was like talking to my brother last night. I was telling him that like, I made up with you. So I was like, good. I love science. So sign Brian are just like fine now, which I don't know where that happened. I, cause I thought that they were like, had like a fake piece or a fake truce, but apparently it't know where that happened. I thought that they had a fake piece or a fake truce, but apparently it's a truce now. So that's resolved, I guess. So I was like, yeah, so I was thinking about that prank and I was like, that's fucking

shady. When we got home that day from Dodgeball, this is me talking about Rebecca. I was like, hey, that line was awesome. It was so stressed out. And then she wrote back, hee hee hee. Which by the way is funny because Rebecca would totally write back. He just, yeah, you know, that's all she writes. It's like, Hey, um, Hey Becky. So we're in need, we need to know like for Q4, what are your intentions for the, for the line? Okay. We're need you to answer Becky. Okay. Seriously. Emoji. So she's like, I said, Bryn knew about the prank, right? And she said, no, she didn't,

only Raquel. And Bryn's like, so Erin literally just sat there and told her that Bryn didn't know. And she's like, she set you up. And so, it was like, we should take all these pigeons and just leave one in the table. And Brynn's like, it's frustrating dealing with Erin when she doesn't remember the shit she does. She forgets she told me about Sy. She forgets saying Jenna's broke. Now I just don't really understand what she's doing or she's trying to do or like what it's nothing adds up.

You're both compulsive liars and you're getting caught on it and trying to point fingers at each other and start plots that are stupid. Both of you just get lives, just lead lives that we want to watch please. So Jenna walks up and Brynn is like, okay, fun news. I got set up. Not on a hot day, but with a hot guy. Aaron set me up. And she's like, what do you mean? Is anyone going to ask me about my black eye, by the way? And it was like, there's a difference between set up and framed. And she got the framed. So she tells her the story. When Aaron told me about the prank, we were at lunch. And after that lunch, Aaron and I went had a drink and I was like dude no way

and she's like no, it's not true and She said Aaron told me that she's pregnant. Of course, it's Gavin's but she wanted to do this prank on everyone So I was like, oh my god, let me in on the prank and that's why it dodgeball It's like hey hoes and that winking and making all the jokes and being like, should we take a pregnancy test? Jenna's like, are you fucking kidding me? And Brynn's like, yeah, I'm just like crazy. Like, why would you just be like, oh no, no dude, she knew. And Jenna's like, of course, I'm an errand.

What the fuck? And Ubers like, so if they couldn't find the pigeon, then we would be looking for the pigeon, right? But she's the pigeon. Pigeon, pigeon the pigeon, then we would be looking for the pigeon, right? But she's the pigeon. Pigeon, pigeon, pigeon everywhere pigeon. And then in walks Aaron, not realizing that everyone's talking about her. And then we got the mid-season trailer, which looked all right. Well, the mid-season trailer looked like it looked like nothing interesting

happens until apparently the last night of Puerto Rico. So who knows when that's going to be, but that's when the big fight happens that we hope is a fight and not another prank. Yeah. So we'll see episode, I guess, 16. Do they get a 16 episode season? Oh, God, please make it a 12 episode season. Please, 12 episodes. What are you guys doing over there?
