Well, hello, welcome to Watch What Crappens, the podcast about all the crap that we just love to talk about. On Ye Olde Braves, I'm Rondal. That's Ben. Hello, Ben. How are you? Hi.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Hi. How are you? Guys, it's a very special day because we've been missing Southern hospitality and it's back. We are doing this extremely late. Guess why? Because it came out on vacation, okay? So you can suck it.
Starting point is 00:00:54 We're not doing that. And then we're gonna do it today though, and we're gonna enjoy it just as much. Now, for those of you who love this show, these recaps will be out probably every Monday. That's what we're gonna to shoot for from now on. But we will be covering this. We're also covering the Traders, which is another show coming out on Peacock, but that

Video recaps if you'd rather watch these. If you don't want to pay for it, don't worry. You can get them for free a week later on YouTube. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Now, we also are going on tour. We're starting in San Francisco, San Diego in two weeks, which is crazy, it's coming right up. But we're also doing the Golden Crappies, which is our star-studded event. And that is going to be on Broadway this year at the Town Hall. We've got crazy guests coming.
Starting point is 00:01:43 It's gonna be a big musical extravaganza for Broadway. Working on my music right now, you guys. Getting my Vokes, getting my box and shape. That's going to be great. Get tickets for all that good stuff over at watchwhatcrappens.com and come to Instagram to vote for the prelim nominations, which are up right now. So do your duty as a Bravo citizen and vote. I just saw, nevermind, it doesn't matter, do it. All right, Ben, welcome to the show. Hi, hon, what are you thinking today? Hi, what's going on? I am so excited to talk some Southern hospitality.
Starting point is 00:02:18 The premier blew me away. I did not think it would be nearly as funny as it was. It was great, loved it, so excited to tear it down. All right, well, let's get going. So we start with the golden couple, Emmy and Will, who are on a boat floating in the water. And Will's saying, I really don't think I could have gotten through this year of law school without you.
Starting point is 00:02:40 You've been my rock. And she's like, oh my God, you're gonna make me cry. So she's still cracked out and he's still a lying cheater. We know that in two seconds. And so they kiss and he's like, I love you too. And then we see an Instagram story of Will and Emmy titled Our Love Story, two years ago. Dum dum dum dum dum. Let's watch it, shall we?
Starting point is 00:03:00 Yeah. And we're just seeing a happy stable couple. You know, Will and Emmy, they're making out at kiss cam at whatever sporting event they're at. Was it another, did they go back to the minor league baseball game? I don't remember. Then, you know, she's saying, I'm happy. He's happy. It's great. They're playing around in bed. They're joking around. They're silly. They love, they are in love. This is a forever couple that we are seeing on camera. By the way, this is how every Dateline starts. They were the perfect couple. All they wanted
Starting point is 00:03:30 was each other. If you asked anybody in town who they loved more, they would say, I love nothing more than a good couple. And that's a good couple. Nothing could come between them. Then they were both murdered by possibly a horde of squirrels. And he was cheating on her and beating her the entire time. It's like, whoa, dateline! And that's kind of the vibes I'm getting from this. And Emmy is very much like, he's a lawyer, he's going to be a lawyer waiting for that ring,
Starting point is 00:03:54 not cracked out at all. And just kind of desperate. And then we get to more recently, I'm praying these rumors aren't true about Will and Maddie. Dun dun dun. Now everybody's gossiping about it. And now it's the future and they're still gossiping about it.
Starting point is 00:04:13 And are there cheating rumors? There sure are. And Brad, who is some new guy, right? He's like, I'm asking you what you know, Luke. And Luke's like, I have a mustache and I already said what I know. And then Mia's like, she won't leave him until she sees him sticking a dick into somebody else's poo-tay-tay. Brad is actually the guy who is like the trainer and Luke is actually Lake and
Starting point is 00:04:38 Lake is the new one. She is, looks like she's like the new waitress or something like that. Um, she just, she gets, Oh, Brad is Bradley. Okay. Yes. And Lake is Mount Luke. Isn't there a guy named Luke with a mustache? Is that the new guy? Well, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:55 I don't remember what the new guy's name is. I'm assuming he's a blonde guy with a mustache. He looks like a Luke. I was just, I was just going to wait to see when we got there in the notes. Cause I forgot his name entirely, but he like chops wood. So I was like, whatever. Oh, sorry, Lake, you don't have a mustache.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Lake's a real cute girl who looks way too innocent to be here. And she's already getting flirted with by Bradley, which makes me worry for her. You know? Right. Um, cause the, this show's confusing cause there's Bradley and then Joe Bradley, but we call Joe Bradley, Joey marbles. Yeah. Cause he talks like he's got marbles in his mouth, but also he just sort of has marbles energy. Like he has marble. And like he somehow has the energy of a sack of marbles.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Or he seems like a marbler, like someone who'd be like one place the marbles will, but it's mostly because he has marbles in his mouth. So, um, and now they're like, Oh my God, who's cheating. And then we see Will and a woman kissing on a boat, but we don't know if it's Emmy, but she is a thin blonde, but then again, so is 90% of Southern charm and Southern hospitality in Charleston in general, so.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Yeah, and then there's just like a lot of talk back and forth about there's investigating and this and that. And you know, Molly has something to say, she's like apparently, allegedly not proven, he had a whole girl living with him. And because is Molly, wait, who, is Molly, Molly, is Molly a new girl? Yeah, we're just gonna have to go with this.
Starting point is 00:06:14 So then TJ is like- Could you take a moment for us to wrap up again? It was like five days ago we watched this. TJ, when he gets angry, gives the church lady from SNL back in the 80s, Dana Carvey, he was like, oh, sin, huh? And he's doing that right now. He's like, if he's cheating on Emmy, I'm gonna fucking figure it out, Satan.
Starting point is 00:06:30 And then everybody, it's like the big gossip. Of course he's cheating. And guess what? So are all of your boyfriends. Welcome to Charleston. I don't think I've seen any of you date somebody that's not cheating on you. So welcome to the show, guys.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Yes, he's cheating. So three months earlier, so now we see Bradley and TJ and Maddie and Joe Bradley, all the, all the classics, they all are showing up at Republic to clock in. We also meet Michaels, whose name is spelled Michaels. And he's the new assistant general manager. He's like tall and hot. And he's shockingly 21. Yeah. Please say he's into crafts. Cause my, like, please. Oh my God, that'd be so perfect. He's adorable. He's gay. He's so cute. But I have to point out something before we get to the scene. Matty goes, everyone's talking about whether he's cheating or not.
Starting point is 00:07:27 And then Matty goes, he took her to law prom. I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist. Law prom. And the girl that you were talking about, I think you said Molly, but there was one girl who's gossiping like, he is a piece of shit and he's living with another girl and he's doing all this. Wasn't that the girl who said that Trevor tried to make out with her that day? Remember, she was a huge part of the plot last season. Sammy?
Starting point is 00:07:52 Yeah, oh, that was Sammy. So it wasn't the same girl, it looked like the same girl who was like, I have to tell you something. It's coming back, yeah, cause I thought Molly reminded me of Sammy, but she sort of is like from the Sammy essential casting, right, like they had like, okay, we need to find a generic girl who maybe shopsick wins.
Starting point is 00:08:08 They're like, yeah, we need to find a girl who would never ever hang out with these people at least on camera and then just get her gossiping about everybody. Yeah, please do that. Law prom, I love that. Sorry I passed forward over that because that was the funniest thing.
Starting point is 00:08:23 That was so good. I mean, to law prom at I say, I say, I say university. So, um, they, uh, people are showing up at work clocking in and everything. And Michael's cause he's like a new assistant general manager. He's like, Hey, what's going on? How's everybody? So for VIP, we have ownership coming in. Okay. Ultra VIPs. So let's be on our Ps and Qs, okay? So everyone should be good tonight.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Okay, rumor has it that Leah CEO may be stopping by, so everyone be ready, because she's in no mood, no mood. That's my only complaint for this episode, is that there was no Leah CEO. What the hell? Where's Leah? Where the hell is Leah?
Starting point is 00:09:04 Leah was like my favorite part of last season. She got this show a third year and they don't even have her on, fucking weird, okay? And I also like that Michaels is so young and just obviously worked for where he got because everybody's like, Michaels is amazing and the whole town knows that. But I just like that he's so young
Starting point is 00:09:23 and he's still like stealing management things just from a book, you know, like things you say, guys, P's and Q's, we're totally minding our P's and Q's, okay, you got time to lean, you got time to clean, guys, okay, denial wasn't just a river in Egypt, that table said that you hadn't been there, you haven't been there, okay, get over there. He literally says, if you have time to lean,
Starting point is 00:09:46 you have time to clean on this show. Like that was the most triumphant moment of the year. I mean, it was just so wonderful. He really said it. Yeah. Peas and Qs, guys. And it's an ownership there every night. Why is it such a big deal that Leva comes in?
Starting point is 00:10:02 Ownership is here and she's rolling her eyes big guys. P's and Q's. Why are they acting like Elon Musk is coming in? It's Leva. It's Leva and her husband. They have nowhere else to go. It's either they are watching their kid make cookies again. That's 86 that bad energy, 86 that bad energy.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Guess what tonight's special is? Ultra VIPs and we're all serving it. We're all serving it. So the big story with last year was that Emmy was working really hard and Maddie was focusing on her DJ career and Emmy was like, I could do this job. And so she finally, finally was promoted to being like assistant manager or GVM, GBM, DBM, BBL. And she gets it and then everyone gets mad at her. So this year turns out doesn't have the job anymore. She's like, well, I was very excited
Starting point is 00:10:53 when I got my promotion last summer because I was like, I had finally proven that I was that bitch. And then we see last year about her getting promoted and everything. And then we see a flashback. She goes, but it didn't last very long. And we go to watch what happens live. And Emmy is sitting next to Leva and Andy and he like for the reunion and Andy's like, so Emmy, are you not the AGM anymore?
Starting point is 00:11:18 And Joe Bradley's like, no, no, it's not. It's not anymore. No. And Leva's like, yeah, because we opened a new space. And Emmy was told, listen, we need you to go down the road to help us open the new space. And she said, no. Dun, dun, dun. Well, yeah, of course she's going to say no. She's not going to go off of a TV show
Starting point is 00:11:36 so she can be on some other stupid job of yours down the street. What do you think she's here for? OK? She's here for the cameras, ma'am. So she's like, yeah, I want to stay at Republic. That's some other chef. That's everything. That is everybody. That is what I know. It's the most important nightclub in all of America and you want me to go to some random
Starting point is 00:11:58 ass place down the street? I don't think so. So then Lava says, well, maybe it was a blessing in disguise because we found Michael's and he's really a gem. And then we see Michael's being like, yeah, hello everyone, Jim speaking. I believe we only have table 10 open so we really should be pretty booked up. Oh, God, he's so good. He's so good.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Lava's like, God, he's nailing it. And the best thing is he's a toddler. So he won't be able to leave. I took all of his, I adopted him. I've legally adopted him. He won't be able to leave. I took all of his, I adopted him. I've legally adopted him. He won't be able to leave here for another eight years. All right, everyone, let's get active. Come on, okay, come on, AGM, superstar AGM here.
Starting point is 00:12:36 People get active. Oh my God, is there anyone better than him? He's telling people to get active, so good. Everybody, I want you to be a square in a customer's pocket and get buzzed. Do you hear me? Always be closing. Always be closing.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Oh, so good. So now it's DJ music and Joe approaching the ladies and Matty grabbing carafs of juices and mixers and Joe's being like, hey, how you doing? And by the way, you know, it makes me so happy. My favorite waitress is still there. She's not part of the cast, but she shows up in the corner of scenes.
Starting point is 00:13:16 You know, the one who looks like she's like 48 years old and she's like, she's like a young Cloris Leachman, the bowling alley person. The bowling alley Cloris Leachman. She's always off to the side being like, I guess I'll serve. Oh my God. I just love her. She says like two words a season and she's just the best. Did you see what dress Maddie was wearing today? She has that bleach blonde hair and everything.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Okay, toots. They want Shirley Temple's at table four. I'm not gonna serve them. I want a better tip. You do it, newbie. Ha! Ha ha ha! So, Molly, Molly's a new girl, right? We don't know who Molly is.
Starting point is 00:13:55 I gotta look up who Molly is. Molly's the blonde girl. She's a blonde, she's another blonde girl. I remember, because I just keep getting her confused with the new girl on Southern Charm. So many blonde people this time. Right, right, new Molly. Yes. Okay. She's like Sally. Right? Doesn't she look like Sally? They're really into casting. Listen, if you're going to make a splash on the Southern Charm or
Starting point is 00:14:22 Southern Hospitality, you better have L's in your name, okay? You better have Val and then Ellie at the end of your name, Lee. So basically, Lake is there too. We see Lake and she has a sparkler. And then we see Mikkels talking to Leva and he's saying hi and he's like, yeah, it's crazy. We sold out the inside today.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Don't lie to me, Michels, except for table 10. Thank you, that's a good boy. That's my guy right there. Pure professionalism. Party, party, party. Oh my God, biggest party happening. And so Michels is like, okay, what's going on TJ and Molly? Are you good?
Starting point is 00:15:00 Let me know if you need anything, okay. Wow, he is so good at this job. Like he is just like, he's gonna win the hospitality awards. He's gonna go to law prom and be prom king. And he's not even going to law school. He's so good. TJ is like, he's really hot.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Look at that guy. Nice to look at at work. Molly's like, yeah, I look like Sally. He's like, shut up. I was with rhetoricals. Be tolerant, hot or molly. So Michaels goes to the kitchen and people are trying to figure out
Starting point is 00:15:31 what's going on with the bubble maker because there's a bubble maker and it's not working. And Matt, he's like, Michael, is this just super important because they want a bubble maker and the bubble maker is not working. Yeah, it's been like janky, L. Oh, fucking L. Am I right? And so then they had a sign, by the way, that said something like have like bubbles, bubbles and something and they spelled bubbles.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Like, I don't know. There was like an A in there. I don't know. But, um, Burbles babies. The sign says, so it's Burbles babies. Burbles babies. Is that what? Oh, burbles babies. well, my burbles, baby. Is that what a burbles babies? Sorry. Burbles babies. Yeah. Burban bubble. And Maddie explains,
Starting point is 00:16:11 Maddie explains her methodology of what she wants to do. She goes, the sign says bubbles on it. So I want to drop the bubbles. You follow? Otherwise all I know how to do is blow spit bubbles. And everyone's just going to have to come around and come up with a lot of spits. It's going to be weird. Michael's he's like, we'll figure it out guys. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:16:30 He's amazing. Like hello fucking L like I have an artistic vision. There's going to be bubbles on the sign like bubbles on the table. Like why don't you fucking get anyone? Don't worry, Maddie. We're going to be on top of it. Oh my God. You're so fucking good, Michaels. So Matty's like, the first time I met Michaels,
Starting point is 00:16:48 I was like, oh my God, I met the love of my life, but he's gay, so now we're best friends. I was like, well, then does this mean he's problematic? Cause the last time it was O'Sheen, and I don't know, I don't know how that worked out. Is he even still there? Did they just bury O'Sheen? O'Sheen probably went back to Tulum.
Starting point is 00:17:07 So then we see Maddie and Michael's hanging out. It's really hard to say Michael's when his name is spelled Mickels. So Michael's- My best Michelle Collins, isn't that like her email address? Oh, I guess I shouldn't say that. But she goes, she has something that's like McCall. Right?
Starting point is 00:17:25 On her Twitter, it's her Twitter. It's her Twitter. A lot of her social media is Mishcall. Yeah. So, Michael fixes the bubble maker. It's like, oh my God! It's like he basically closed like the little door that keeps this open.
Starting point is 00:17:36 And they're like, oh my God, so good. He's so good. Big genius. He's like, next time guys, slide the door open, okay? How are you guys sober and you don't use your brain? Also, what brain are we talking about? So then Brad's like, hey, where's the lighter? I'm like, table four.
Starting point is 00:17:59 And so then there's like more clothes than everything. Sparklers. Everybody goes out with their sparklers. It's like, we have sparklers! And the crowd's like, that's why we're VIP because they have sparklers here, wow! Got them like five tequila shots. Sure, oh my God, Republic, Republic, woo!
Starting point is 00:18:20 I like that they put all, they get people to dress in sequins and stuff and like put them in the front, but then in the back you still see like girls in like really bad cotton like target Frilly Laura Ashley And then the guys and their shorts and their polos and their backwards caps or whatever. They can't keep it They're trying to make it one thing on TV. But guys you we still see your eyes You can't hide that we we can see that Tommy Bahama walking in and that like Bass Pro Shop hat turned backwards.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Yeah. So, so, uh, Joe asked for something at the bar and, um, oh, Molly, Molly gives something to Joe and TJ goes, thanks for serving him. Cause I'm not fucking serving him. You know, for about four months now, Joe and I haven't spoken at all. I mean, I've gone over and vacuumed his floors, but I mean, who wouldn't? But either way, we don't talk.
Starting point is 00:19:11 And Joe's like, yeah, my beef with TJ first started in New York. So then we see flashback to five months ago. Watch What Happens Live. Well, Watch What Happens Live is getting a lot of play today. Where is Jeff Lewis? And how is Jeff Lewis not pissed anybody off on this show? He doesn't respect that because they're like young waiters.
Starting point is 00:19:29 I'll bet. Yeah, next time we go on that show, we'll be like, Jeff, you need to have the Southern hospitality people on because watch what happens, has taken back the reins as being like, the innocent drama. I know, I was so sad for him. I was like, oh Jeff, it was such a fun, glorious career. Now it's over.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Dead in the water. You had a good run. You really fucked up, Jeff. You really fucked up. You really fucked up, Joe. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappin's commercial. They say Hollywood is where dreams are made.
Starting point is 00:19:57 A seductive city where many flock to get rich, be adored, and capture America's heart. But when the spotlight turns off, fame, fortune, and lives can disappear in an instant. When TV producer Roy Raden was found dead in a canyon near LA in 1983, there were many questions surrounding his death. The last person seen with him was Laney Jacobs, a seductive cocaine dealer who desperately wanted to be part of the Hollywood elite. Together, they were trying to break into the movie industry. But things took a dark turn when a million dollars worth of cocaine and cash went missing. From Wondery comes a new season of the hit show Hollywood and Crime, The Cotton Club

Starting point is 00:21:57 So now Andy is interviewing Luan and Joe Bradley and Andy's like, great to see you, have the two of you met? And Joe Andy's like, great to see you, have the two of you met? And Joe Bradley's like, not yet. She's like, never, we just met, didn't we? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. You see one of those cartoon clouds that where you just see hands and boots coming out
Starting point is 00:22:16 and then it settles and then like her hair, her wig's over on the side. So then four months ago at the Southern Hospitality Reunion, did you sleep with Luan? And TJ is like, I think you should be honest. I was like, are we? Is this gonna be the quarter zone in the feud? Joe Bradley sleeping with Luan?
Starting point is 00:22:34 Luan still got it over there, kid. And Joe's like, I'm not hooked up with Luan. I'm like, why'd you even attenuate that? Why? Joe definitely hooked up with Luan. TJ is so, why'd you even attenuate that? Why? Joe definitely hooked up with Luan. TJ is so mad about, TJ, you're a gay. This should be the proudest moment of your life.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Your best friend hooked up with Countess Luan. You should be so grateful to be linked to that. No kidding. And also gay people are always like, you're not supposed to out somebody. That's like the worst thing in the world. If he fucked a guy and he's married, who cares? I don't fuck a guy and he's married.
Starting point is 00:23:06 It's not our business to tell his wife. But if it's a guy fucking a girl, it's like, tell on him, get him. I mean, doesn't everybody deserve a right? Come on. Mattie's like, Joe hooking up with Luan is so iconic. And Grace Lilly, Grace Lilly's like, Luan is such a bad ass. I mean, who wouldn't want
Starting point is 00:23:27 to fuck a cartoon from Family Guy? No, Grace Lilly, that's not the Luan. Oh, I don't know who Luan is then. So you're saying that Luan from Family Guy is still free? I mean, I think it's amazing. I would fuck a country singer. No, that's Leanne rhymes. That's different.
Starting point is 00:23:53 So then I fucked that ice cream too. That's Leawen's. Still. So then Joe Bradley's like, yeah, well, so what if I do hook up a little wad? And then TJ's like, he was dating Danielle when he hooked up with Luan. That's the point. Oh, please, he knew Danielle for five minutes.
Starting point is 00:24:14 I forgot about the Danielle part. I forgot that this was actually a triangle. So TJ is mad that Joe got himself in a triangle with Danielle Olivera from Summer House and Countess Luan from Roni, which is truly the funniest love triangle we've seen on Bravo in some time, if not the funniest we've ever seen. It's pretty awkward. It's weird.
Starting point is 00:24:33 And then the fact that it's actually having an impact on this show, where you would think they would have no idea who Countess Luan is and maybe not CEO and founder Danielle. It's amazing. Yeah. So TJ is like, well. I don't, it's amazing. Yeah, so TJ is like, well, I was just giving him the opportunity to tell the truth because everyone knew. And like, well, why did you have a problem with TJ
Starting point is 00:24:53 when the story was already on page six, Joe? And then we see the headlines, Luanne 58 and Joe 28 all over each other. Damn, that's good, 30 years? God, you go girl. That girl does Pilates for dinner. She'll do it every day. That Pilates works.
Starting point is 00:25:11 That girl can still smoke three packs of cigarettes a day and pull in these guys hot. She is an icon. So then Joe Bradley is like, well, cause page six isn't one of my best friends. TJ betrayed my trust. He confirmed those rumors and sabotaged my relationship. I mean, right now I could be with Danielle.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Oh, well look behind you. She's still standing right outside your window. So there's still a chance. She's just, his turnaround is just Danielle like. Danielle's like, why isn't page six writing about my love triangle with Joe Bradley and the balloon guy? Yeah, so TJ is like, I'm not saying what I did was right.
Starting point is 00:25:51 However, this still that still is no excuse for the nasty messages that Joe sent me. And then we see text messages from Joey marbles and it's like, oh, oh, I hope you enjoyed your moment. Hope it was worth our friendship. You're a supporting character And then he sends like a rat emoji Yeah, heartbreak heartbreaking supporting character. You're dead to me and my family. He's like i've never expected that that would end our friendship I'm never gonna make you nanny's chicken parmesan So he hasn't talked to joe since new york
Starting point is 00:26:20 Sean. So he hasn't talked to Joe since New York. And then Michael sees them chatting and he's like, what's up? You got time to lean? You got time to clean, clean something. Come on. I was like, I don't need to watch any more of this episode to know it's one of the best things
Starting point is 00:26:35 that you'll see this entire year. TG's like, he's hot. I just totally got excited. My vacuum just hardened. I didn't even know I was leaning. he's hot. I just totally got excited. My vacuum just hardened. I didn't even know I was leaning. He's so good. So Molly's like, we got in trouble. I know, he's kind of hot.
Starting point is 00:26:52 I kind of got excited. She's like, okay, calm down. So the next morning, Bradley wakes up and finds a big old tacky ass eyelash on his bedside table. It is huge and glittery. And he's just looking at it like, what would this even fit on? I know. bedside table. It is huge and glittery. And he's just looking at it like, what would this even fit on? You know?
Starting point is 00:27:09 I know. And then, uh, Michaels and Emmy are at Pilates and they're working out and the instructor is like, is that floor tight? Okay. Slowly send the carriage out as far as you can. And then give me three more each. And Michaels is like three. And the instructors is like, yes, three. Oh my God, he is so good. Wow, wow, he's so good at this. Then we see everybody waking up and getting ready, which is there, it's a young cast. That's everybody getting out of the shower, you know?
Starting point is 00:27:33 And thankfully they're doing it with these people and not Shep, okay? These are the people I want to see get out of the shower. Shep, retire Shep, please. So we get to see some Joe Bradley butt, which is great. And then we get some Trixie Monocle and she's like, you can take your patriarchy, shove it where the sun don't shine, cold mess other known as goddess,
Starting point is 00:27:55 snatching my crown, no contest. It's like did Grace Lilly write this? This sounds like a Grace Lilly jam. I'm pretty sure it is. I'll exercise my right to say I am a work of art in every way. So now Emmy and Will are going to have a nice pretend breakfast. And by pretend, I mean, he's going to be pretending to not cheat on her and she's going to be pretending to eat the breakfast.
Starting point is 00:28:17 So they're like, I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. You're amazing. You're amazing. You're a lawyer. You're going to be a lawyer's wife. Oh, he, you know, last summer we definitely had some doubters about our relationship and we see flashbacks of last year. Everyone's saying like, yeah, he made out. He made out with someone and she's like, uh, uh, um,
Starting point is 00:28:40 but now everything is good. So, um, she orders them, she orders a mocktail and then we find out, Will's like, you've been a mocktail queen. She's like, yeah, it's been over eight months. I don't even think about it anymore. I don't crave a drink ever. So her whole thing is that she stopped drinking and now she's doing the Kyle Richards
Starting point is 00:28:59 working out like crazy thing. And he doesn't like it, of course. And he's like, and now you work out all the time. She's like, it grounds me, okay? My typical day right now is go for like a three mile run and then I go to the gym for like another hour, cardio, weightlifting, Pilates, high intensity, low intensity, lifting my knee, putting my knee back down, squats, glutes, you know, underarms, back arms,
Starting point is 00:29:17 tries, buys, you know how it goes. Great, great, I'm happy, I'm super, super happy. I'm totally not insecure about my relationship whatsoever. I'm not channeling all my emotions and rage into this. It's working out. This is totally a healthy habit that I picked up. Totally, totally, totally. I mean, it's like, I just miss Republic, you know?
Starting point is 00:29:34 Like so much camaraderie there, so many friendships, you know? And it's like, oh my God, Joe can be happier to have you in his life again. He's like, yeah, I had to forgive him. Because like, I'm a forgiver. And then we see flashbacks to them arguing last year. And because Joe was furthering this rumor that Will was cheating. He wasn't totally supportive in denying it for Will.
Starting point is 00:29:55 So then Will's like, yeah, when he called me out of the blue and apologized, you know, he just changed his whole tone. And I understood that like, I had a part to to playing this too. Wait, you cheated on me? No, I mean getting mad that he got mad that I cheated on you, but never told you so you cheated on me No, who told you that Joe fucked you? I'm never fucking talking Joe yet Hey, should we wake up early in the morning jump in the ocean? He's like, I'm too busy I have like so much work at my dad's law firm I'm just like I'm working like nine to five.
Starting point is 00:30:26 What a way to make a living. Am I right? I don't get that. So then we'll like, the first year of law school has like been probably like one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. Like, do you know how awkward it is when you try to ring up someone's tap
Starting point is 00:30:39 and they're like, what are you doing? You're in this class. I'm like, yeah, I keep forgetting. I'm not at a bar. It's so strange. They don't like me there. Now with an internship, I just don't have moments off what are you doing? You're in class. I'm like, yeah, I keep forgetting. I'm not at a bar. It's so strange. They don't like me there. And now with an internship, I just don't have moments off, you know? So like, I don't think Emmy gets it. And then he's like, I'm so happy right now. You just make me feel so, so secure.
Starting point is 00:30:54 Wait a minute. Let me lift this plate. Don't look away. I've got bigger muscles. It's going great. I love how successful you were with your first year of law school. And I love being so accomplished and like being in a place I never thought we'd be. And like law prom, the best night of our lives. I'm just, I'm like so much more in tune with everything. Like give me a kiss, give me a kiss, give me a kiss, you love me, you love me, you love me. Oh God. Okay. Okay. He still loves me. And he kisses her, but also kind of looks towards the exit sign. Like the signs are not looking good here, babe. So then Trixie's like, sunshine, everything I want is a miracle. I'm never coming down. I don't want to worry. Sunshine on my face. I've got sunshine on my face. I've got sunshine on my face. I've got
Starting point is 00:31:35 sunshine on my ass. Just kidding. My face. So TJ sits at a chair by a pool on FaceTime's Mia and she's like, oh my God, Pookie. Hey, what's up? She's like, I'm so excited to see you. I am like completely booked. Sort of like your love life. Just kidding. Exact opposite. Oh, well, it's only gonna be three more weeks. So we find out that she has, um, moved back to Trinidad and Tobago to, um, basically join, she's running for Miss World. And so she's doing the pageant life thing down there.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Yeah. And I love a couple of things. First, that people on this show aren't so fame hungry that they just stay on the show. Like they don't care. Mia's like, bye, I'm moving. See you later. I'm moving to the islands. And then Grace Lilly is like, I want more for myself, bye. So she leaves, like people just leave, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:26 it's crazy, because most people are just like reality TV whores, like they're going to stay forever. Guys and girls are going to stay no matter what. And she's like, nah, I'm going to join a beauty contest, you know? And also that they're so just fine with eating disorders because she's like, yeah, basically I don't eat anymore. I have one cup of egg yolks in the morning and that's it. And Emmy was just like, yeah, I don't eat anymore. I have one cup of egg yolks in the morning and
Starting point is 00:32:45 that's it. And Emmy was just like, yeah, I don't eat all I do is work out now. Isn't it amazing? Like this is such an odd shift from our, like our current culture, you know, the cat disorders, it's called making an effort. They're saying, unfortunately, that like the like fashion is embracing skinny like skinniness again, because honestly of that, well, the article I read says because of a Zempi culture that people are like, like down for skinny again, because before it was like, no, like,
Starting point is 00:33:17 you know, embrace curves, yada, yada, yada. But now people are like skinny again, which I think actually misses the point, I think of taking Ozempic probably, but either way. So it looks like, if anything, it looks like this might be another indicator of where things are going. Yeah, so that's her thing. She's gonna do that.
Starting point is 00:33:39 She's still in love with hotness Troy. And then we see Troy, he's hot as fuck. And they're still basically boring. I mean, she needs to come back here and ruin somebody's life because that's kind of what she does. But that's their thing. I love your husband. I love your boyfriend. Please have him shirtless on the show more. I know. I'm so glad they're still together. Like, dear to hot. So then they start talking about how, TJ immediately is gossiping. And he's like, yeah, I just feel bad for Emmy.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Like she's so small now. And like we both heard that like Will's running around badmouthing her behind her back. And she's like, oh my God, yeah, I heard that. And she says that Will was at a Republic obliterated going up to people talking about how much he hates Emmy and hates his relationship. And she's so annoying.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Yeah, I've heard that he's just like, I don't think she's my person. Yeah. And like now that she's sober, he's she's like not fun anymore. Yeah. And the people he's telling that have like the loudest mouth. I know. Like, yeah. She's like, I found out about it the next day. People were in my phone telling me like, oh my God, Will has gone crazy. And it's like, yeah, I'm gonna have a conversation with him and I'm gonna say you better tell her cause it's gonna get back to her. And you know who's gonna tell her? I'm not gonna tell you right now, but you're gonna hear this before it's told. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeseeeeeeeeseeeeseeeeseeeeseeseeseeseeseeseeseeseeseeseeseeseeseeseeseeseese He rides up on a vacuum to tattletales.
Starting point is 00:35:11 So yeah, because Mia's like, I know I did that last year and it was a big, I was a big bad wolf for meddling in their relationship. And so we see flashbacks of like them getting mad at Mia for trying to step in and fix the situation. Yes. And so she's like, it's not coming for me. And he's like, well, I mean, it's just hard because she says how much she loves him. Like, how am I going to ruin this life? Can't wait. Okay, I'll do it on FaceTime. Don't worry, you'll be able to see. So then we go to Grace Lilly's mother's house. And she's sitting at the table writing a notebook. And the song is,
Starting point is 00:35:45 you're living in the moment, wasting your time chasing stars. Trixie didn't even bother trying to rhyme. Not this time. So Derby, her dog is there and Maddie comes over and she's like, Oh my God, can I just like walk in? Hello fucking L. She's like, Hi, where's my best friend?
Starting point is 00:36:12 So they say hi and everything. And Maddie sees an envelope that says taxes on it and like things like work expenses. She's like, Oh my God, Grace Lilly, what are these like work expenses? Like what work? Like what are even taxes? Am I right? So what do you mean? I don't work. That's profit. Put it away. After five years of working at Republic Garden and Lounge, Grace Lilly has exited the building. Grace Lilly's been doing modeling and you know,
Starting point is 00:36:44 Grace Lilly just wants to do bigger things. And we see her modeling, uh, doing the Grace Lilly thing and Grace Lilly is like, she's like, there is never any knowing of where Grace Lilly will jet off to. And I'm going to rock with it. Some days I'm going to jet off to downtown Charleston and some days I'm going to jet off to downtown Charleston. It's a wild world I live. And she's wearing a bandana around her head. It just looks
Starting point is 00:37:17 crazy. And Maddie's like, but I miss you at Republic. She's, I'm always going to love Republic. But last summer, I took that time to focus on me you know as opposed to all the other times where I was focused on I mean mostly me too but it was different you know so I did an Iwaska ceremony I got to dive so deep into myself I saw Bob Marley I was like Bob I love you Bob I'm always going to spread the message of like, Ja, like, I love him, you know? He's just so great. He was so good in that movie called Bob Marley. It was a coincidence, right? Yeah. And then after I saw Bob Marley, I saw
Starting point is 00:37:56 Bob Euker and I was like, Hey, Bob, glad to see you're still playing baseball. And then he was like, what are you talking about? I said, I don't know. I don't even know how I know who you are. And then next, next I saw Jesus and Jesus said, Hey, did you see Bob Buecher? I said, yeah, who is that guy? He said, I don't know, but he plays baseball and was on Mr. Belvedere. And I said, that's awesome. Can I go back to Bob Marley now? And Jesus said, no, no, you can't. Then Jesus asked me, why haven't you said hi to Bob Barker?
Starting point is 00:38:21 And I said, Jesus, I don't approve of Spain in neutering. I say, let your dogs procreate. Matt is like, oh shit, maybe I need ayahuasca. Maybe you do, girl. You're the only person who watched that and thought maybe I need to do that. I know. How has she not done it yet, by the way? You were in Tulum with O'Sheen,
Starting point is 00:38:49 how have you not done Ayahuasca? Hey girl, how's your sex life with Joe, by the way? Jesus wants to know. And she's like, oh yeah, by the way, America, yes, I am dating Jill Bradley. Yeah, so then we see two hours ago, they were rolling around the bed together. And Maddie's like, yeah, like I've always liked Joe,
Starting point is 00:39:10 and we work so well together, and we're like best friends. And to make it romantic was such a risk, but I know he's been in love with me for years. Like it used to be like I was too in love with somebody that didn't really love me the same, but now it's like reversed and it feels so good. Like you know who else that probably felt good to? Joe who's watching this at home right now.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Yeah, I like wasn't into Joe until I realized he was like famous enough to be in a love triangle that made it to page six. I thought, you know what? I could do this. So here I am. Plus his mom bought him a Costco card, which is pretty hot. So there was like, we see flashback to them lying in bed and her locking fingers. And she's like, so it was a rest that totally has been worth it. I was like,
Starting point is 00:39:56 what is the risk in sleeping with Joe Bradley? Like there's, you're not even barely even working at this place anymore. So Grace, the least like you guys are totally all over each other, I think there's, you're not even barely been working at this place anymore. So Grace Dilly is like, you guys are totally all over each other. Like sucking each other's faces down, like Slurpees. By the way, Bob Marley said, stop doing that. It's kind of gross, kind of ruined the Jive vibe. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:18 And then Maddie's like, yeah, I had to get away from Trevor cause like a light bulb clicked. So I never went back. Dun, dun, dun. And so then she's light bulb clicked, so I never went back. And so then she's like, yeah, like I trust him, but I'm like, push the brakes, Joe, push the brakes, Joe. Maybe I'm just traumatized, traumatized by my past with bicycle gondola drivers. And Grace Hilley's like, yeah, as anyone would be as I was after Jesus told me to be nice to a spayer. I mean, who would say that? I'm so mad at Jesus right now.
Starting point is 00:41:02 So then we go to TJ. He's cooking some bacon for himself and Bradley comes in and he's like, Hey, you didn't leave the key under the mat for me. You know, I like that. Oh, just come on right in here, Bradley. I brought you and he's like, Oh, I brought you some wine. She's like, well, I just eat some breakfast. It's 2pm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:20 I know. Wild night for me and my boyfriend, Mr. Invisible. So his back hurts. So Brad's like, does it hurt from staying hunched over or were you bent over last night? And he's like, all right, I haven't had sex in six months. Jesus, I can't even get any action from my vacuum. Every time the room that gets next to me, it just stops, looks at me and turns away. That's not supposed to be part of the AI.
Starting point is 00:41:45 She says, the dating scene in Charleston is horrendous. There's like one gay bar and like in the South, I just feel like everyone is still afraid to be who you are. And honestly, I haven't gotten on a date in like two years. I'm like, well, maybe it's more about you than this gay bar in Charleston. But wasn't he just dating that guy? He was.
Starting point is 00:42:07 At the end of last season, I'm so confused. It hasn't been two years since they shot that, right? No, but that's why I got so excited when there's an option. Like this whole Michael's thing, I told you about that story, right? Remember? Anyone, is anyone listening to me? Who am I telling the story to?
Starting point is 00:42:20 Oh, the vacuum. Right, the vacuum, remember? The story about Michael's. Don't leave, don't leave. Why did they make vacuums that could turn away? Why does it go back to its dock so quickly? It just left the dock. The vacuum's like, uh, I think it's pretty clean in here.
Starting point is 00:42:33 I'm going back to the dock. Good night. This does suck being the only gay. I mean, whenever you're a gay, you know what that's like, being in a space with no other gay people. And then one other gay comes in and you both start looking up at each other up and down like, Oh my God, you're gay. Oh God, you're not good enough. You're smart enough. People do not like you because it's like, you're,
Starting point is 00:42:52 you're so bitter. It's like, that's my only fucking choice. And that's like you, you're forced. And it's like, Oh my God, you're gay. I have a gay person I can introduce you to. And it's like, Oh, it's like you naturally have to kind of hate each other because of the resentment you feel towards everybody else around you for not being gay. You know? Yeah. So TJ says, well, Bradley, a couple of months ago, I got drunk one night and I kissed,
Starting point is 00:43:13 I kissed Michael's and I thought, well, I didn't really kiss him. I just took out my dust buster and was just trying to get something off of his tie and I got onto his lips and that's kind of counts like a kiss. Anyway, I just I felt bad because he like Uber me home and I just got out. And he's like, yeah. And I think he thought he was getting out with me. Bradley's like, wow. And you're just like, all right, bye.
Starting point is 00:43:30 What a dick. And he's like, well, I mean, obviously there's chemistry because like literally we're each other's only options. So it's like being on a deserted island and asking yourself if you're gonna eat the first prime apple that floats up. I mean, kinda have to. Also, like I, like I don't think I could date a 21 year old.
Starting point is 00:43:48 I'm like 23. It's like that age gap is like, it's insurmountable, right? And brother's like, yeah, that's right. How old is he? He's like 30, right? He's probably 32 or 33, something like that. That does seem like a lot when you're 30. But then if you're in LA or somewhere like that,
Starting point is 00:44:04 I guess you don't have to be in LA really, it's just men. But then when you're 40, you're like, oh, 20, 21 is totally natural. I'm 60, oh, so she's not in college or she's halfway through college. So hey, yeah. Also TJ, you don't have to date him. He's fucking hot.
Starting point is 00:44:20 Let him come out of the Uber with you. You just have to have a night. Yeah. But you know, you don't want to look like an old gross perv either. Um, I mean, I don't mind, but some people obviously from a personal point of view. Okay. I do not mind. So, um, a few weeks ago, Michael's asked me if I want to get dinner, but we started talking about like, oh, he starts saying like, oh, I have class tomorrow. And I'm like, he has class tomorrow. He's in college.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Education's frowned upon at Republic. It's disgusting, isn't it? We saw what happened with Will. So I'm focusing on myself this summer, which has been great. Unlike last summer when I focused on myself and every other day. I love that everyone's goal on the show is to focus on themselves. You guys have focused on nothing else.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Okay. He's like, well, my issues are when I like somebody, I put them first instead of myself. And Bradley is like, you know, go to therapy. And he's like, well, I've been in therapy. Thanks for asking Bradley. And he's like, well, it's just weirdest because now Joe and Maddie are dating, you know? Like, make it make sense. And he's like, oh, well, gee, best be nice having options. And then we see flash to last night as Joe grabs Maddie's shoulders.
Starting point is 00:45:38 They pass each other working at Republic and they smile at each other. You know, it's just like crazy to me that someone that has so much self control and discipline, sober for 10 years, chooses to be with a person similar to Trevor, like going out and drinking and cheating. Joe's a cheater.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Joe's cheating on every relationship he's ever been in. I was like, okay. This is, this is taking, this is a bridge too far. Just because she's been sober doesn't mean that she can't get with Joe Bradley. Yeah, and I mean, I get what he's saying in that that's a similar type. Like, why are you leaving one, one loot, like one cheater for another cheater? But like I said earlier, it's Charleston.
Starting point is 00:46:16 I mean, it's in the water there. Who doesn't cheat? I mean, I, I know, I think that Joe Bradley will cheat, but I don't think he's going to do mind games the way the other Trevor was doing. He'll probably be like, you wanna fuck Joanne with me? It's gonna be so great. Yeah, it'll just be a straight up cheating. It'll just be a very on the nose cheating. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:39 So TJ is also way too invested, and I think it's hard to like kind of being the gay in the relationship with a bunch of guys because you're friends with a girl too. And so it's not kind of like a bros before hoes or Mr. Before sisters or whatever. You can't, it's hard to choose because like you're still friends with the guy,
Starting point is 00:46:56 but you're like, I need to warn this girl what this guy is. You know what I mean? Yeah. But also you've, well, nevermind. Sorry, I'm going too to the weeds with it. He's way too invested. He's got a lot of friends make their own mistakes and he can just focus on the vacuum. So now we go Trixie, watch me go, go never slow, slow. I mean, that was pretty obvious. I can't be poor. All these years we've been making songs. How we never
Starting point is 00:47:24 write that lyric before. I mean, how did we never do that? Well, actually, we did have watch me go never slow. That's right. That's why we didn't have watch me go go. Never slow slow. So shut the fuck up. I mean, all right, don't question me. I'm sorry. I said, Paul, you know what? It's not called wake me up before you go. It's before you go go. We've already done that one actually. So come up with a lyric that says watch me go never slow. We've already done that one.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Sorry, we've already done that one. You should know. Oh, look at that. I just did it. Watch me go go, never slow slow. You should know know. So Michaels is, you know, locking up the doors and putting menus away and turning on the neon light.
Starting point is 00:48:03 And then... So talented. Yeah, he's like so good at this, you guys. So he's like, yeah, Leva and Lamar call me the beast because I'm 21 and I'm running their nightclub. Dun, dun, dun. Really? Because we're all kind of calling you sucker
Starting point is 00:48:17 because I think they have you doing that because how many hours are you working? I'll bet they're abusing you. Tell me where Leva hurt you. So then he's like talking to the staff. He's like, hi, make sure you're coming in on time and in dress code. If you're planning on leaving, you always ask me.
Starting point is 00:48:36 He really has this place on lockdown, gotta say. Wow, so good. So before Republic, he was working as a bar back at clubs and ownership was like, you're way too pretty to be doing this. And I'm like, obviously I'm way too pretty to be doing this. Look at me. And he's like posing. He's like, yeah. So I mean, and me and Molly walk in, um, they're in that back room that, and, and he's like, uh, someone's sucking on our titty and she's got a hickey.
Starting point is 00:49:06 I got to cover it up. And Michaels is like, meow. And Molly is like, it's not a real hickey, everyone. So they're just. This is really bothering me, this whole like, I'm too hot to be a bar back. Listen, no one's too hot to bring me a bottle of Tito's. So you're fired.
Starting point is 00:49:24 How dare you? Okay, I'll get over it. It's of Tito's. So you're fired. How dare you? Okay, I'll get over it. It's passed and it's time to let it go. So then TJ comes in and he's decided since they started shooting and he's so fucking lonely at this point, he's like, here's some coffee, I got it for you. And Michaels is like, thanks.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Well, we're just gay. We like, we like Starbucks. So. Yeah. Cause the girls were mad that TJ didn't get them coffee. So the thing is, this is sort of like a weird mood. Like it's like a weird, like flirtation, you know, and he's like, turns his flirtation on and off and like, so, so the girl's like, um, where's our coffee? And he's like, whatever girls. Um, so then, uh, then TJ Lee takes off his shirt to put on the Republic one. And then he's like, Ooh, wow. Oh wow. They're all looking at him. He kind of looks over. He kind of keeps like catching glances of him and stuff.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Um, which is cute. I liked that he likes him. That was pretty cute. I mean, I have to say for all the shit talking about TJ, there is something sort of revolutionary about the storyline on Bravo because really gays are almost always sidekick status. And if they're not sidekick status, they rarely have like a love interest who's like a main cast member the way all the straight people do. And like, I think this is like the first time we've ever seen two gays who are like fully cast members who have romantic tension. Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:50:50 I think so too. It's pretty cool. I mean, except for Van Der Pramp rules, but they were in the closet. They're still straight, technically. So. And a couple of Lodex, let's face it. But yeah, out of the closet, yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:51:02 So now they're prepping the restaurant, a bar, whatever it is. And Austin, that's who I was calling Luke earlier. Austin, the new bartender is like, hi, I'm Austin, I have a mustache. And Michael's just like, yeah, he's gonna be training today. And TJ goes, oh, I know who he is. You know each other?
Starting point is 00:51:22 He's like, yeah, what's up? And so he reached, he like, he and Austin have a hug and Austin's like, you smell like almonds. And Michael's is like, oh my God. He's just like, I told you I knew him. He knew I always smell like almonds. I met Austin a couple of years ago
Starting point is 00:51:41 and I wouldn't say he's like a lot of guys in Charleston. And then we see clips of Austin shirtless in the woods bench pressing logs. He's like, yeah, guys, welcome to my Insta. Today, you don't need a gym. You know what you need? God's gym. Logs. Yeah. God, I'm sorry for all his Facebook friends who have to hear ceaselessly about his crossfit. Oh, and his rock deodorant. Oh, goodness. You know he had the most annoying
Starting point is 00:52:07 updates about watching like Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. He's like, guys, watch the big fight tonight. He's like, guys, it would be nice if Netflix's streaming was consistent, am I right? Guys, I just rediscovered this show, Two and a Half Men. So funny. So then, let's see. He's like, yeah, he's into lifting logs in the woods. So I don't really know why, but you know, whatever he's doing, it's working for him. He's hot.
Starting point is 00:52:39 And he sure is, you know, but he's one of those people that's hot, but he's like saying goodbye to youth. And he's trying to like hold on to it as hard as he can by like growing a mustache and putting log videos on Instagram, you know, and two years he'll be fine with it. He'll be bald and just, you know, have a little pot belly and just start being a 20 year old. So, you know, I'm telling him he has money. Yeah. I love his, I love his, his little trick though of you smell like almonds. That's a good line. Cause I think everyone will be like, oh, thank you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:09 It's so specific that people will be like, oh, thanks, that's just me. Well, I hope it's because of our condo. TJ, I believe in you. I mean, last time I checked, I'm the only one here whose last name actually means almonds. Thank you, Mandel, Mandelker. Oh yeah. Mine last name means humble almonds. Thank you. Mandel, Mandelkerr. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Mine last name is Humble. No, that's not true. My middle name means Humble. Rondle Humble Caram. My first name means King. So King Almonds over here. King of Almonds. Fuck yes.
Starting point is 00:53:39 You're in the wrong business, babe. King of Almonds. Thanks for smilin' me through the TV, Austin. So Emmy and Maddie are like, let's have a scene wiping down menus. And I was like, fuck yeah, I miss this. So they do it. And Emmy's like, got you a rag girl.
Starting point is 00:53:54 And she's like, thanks. So Michael's birthday is coming up. What are they gonna do? Maddie's like, yeah, I want it to be a theme. Like the weather's getting really warm and I feel like a summer kickoff pool party, you know, like a theme like pools, parties, pool party. I don't know. Something like that. Like, what about, what about bikinis and trucker hats? Cool. I don't think that's like a theme.
Starting point is 00:54:17 It's more like a dress code, but like, cool. Yeah. Cause I think that like, I think Michael deserves the best birthday ever. He's genuine. He's a genuine person who cares. And he like puts his heart and soul into everything he does, including being hot and a good manager. And he's like, yeah, it's so nice that Michael's is also friends with Emmy and like, and he brought us together and close her together. And I feel like it's like really nice to be in a good place with Emmy again, just like wiping down menus, giving her rags and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:54:45 And Emmy's like, yeah, because underneath all the bullshit, like it was really hard being friends with her last year because she was dating a piece of shit. You know, it's hard when I'm dating a piece of shit and she's dating a piece of shit. Like, how many hiding a piece of shit can we do? But now since I'm the only one still dating a piece of shit, we can be friends again. Yeah, I think this is going gonna be a really fun party. So now the lounge opens up, Lake comes by, she's saying hi to everyone. And you know, Austin is like asking about how to make a drink and you know, Lake is
Starting point is 00:55:19 like, oh my god, are you like training him? Molly's like, yeah, I'm training him. So Molly's being hard ass with them. She's like, I, I'm training him. So- Molly's being hard ass with him. She's like, I don't even know if he can pour drinks yet. We'll see, log man, we'll see. You smell like almonds. So then Austin's like flirting with the girls and stuff. And then Maddie can't uncork a bottle.
Starting point is 00:55:40 And she's like, Brad, it's one of those like fucked up bottles. He's like, I got you, baby. One of those fucked up. This bottle is like fucked up. Like, hello fucking L who made this bottle. This bottle has something stuck in it, Brad. It's a quirk, Matty. Yeah. That's what I mean. Get it out. So he, uh, he uncorks it. And he also says that he and Maddie are good. It's pretty much like,
Starting point is 00:56:06 he's like, you know what, I'm not going to like, keep talking. I'm not going to keep holding on to the past. Cause you know, last year they got into a big fight about the dumpster and everything. Getting his dick sacked next to the dumpster. Yep. As long as I don't talk about blowjob alleyway and he doesn't talk about my relationship, we're cool. So then, um, outside of the bar Molly's doing her training and um, he's like, I have no idea what's going on, you know, and I'm cool with that. She goes,
Starting point is 00:56:33 he yikes better not be cool with it for long log man. So then, um, uh, Maddie is like sitting on a chair and Emmy like is touching up her eyeliner and Michaels, they're in the back room and Michaels walks in and he looks like he's just seen a ghost. He goes, I am feeling very numb right now. It's like, Oh my God, anti-LOL. Are you okay?
Starting point is 00:56:59 He's like, I am literally internally shitting myself right now. And my heart is beating out of my chest. I am literally, internally shitting myself right now and my heart is beating out of my chest. I am gonna shit myself. I'm like literally dead right now. I'm so dead Haley Joel Osment would see me under the bed. Like I am that fucking dead. I'm like a dead person who just shit himself.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Like it's crazy. And she's like, why? He goes, cause TJ brought me coffee. And then at a VCR flashback, I brought you coffee. And Maddie goes, so did you drink it? Oh no, she goes, so drink it. And then he's like, wait, but like, it's not just coffee. Duh. And he goes, yeah, because we were in an Uber
Starting point is 00:57:42 and he kissed me. And I was just like, well, what is this going to be? What does this mean? But then we never talked about it. There was like never a conversation. There was like never a like, what is oh, I kissed you. There was never that. And now here I am covered in shit that smells like coffee because I drank coffee
Starting point is 00:57:57 before I shit myself internally, of course. And Maddie goes, wait, what would that conversation have to do with him? I don't understand what's going on. And he's like, wait, what's his intention? What does he want? If DDA is not interested, then it's just wasting both of their times. Why would he give him coffee? And Michael's is like, yeah, like cool. Thanks for the coffee. But like, what are we doing? I am like, shitting. I just vomited inside of myself. I am losing it. He must have breakdowns when he passes sample people at Costco. That lady just gave me a quarter of a cookie and then nothing, not even what's your number. I'm too hot for this.
Starting point is 00:58:37 She literally gave me a sample of Quest Ice Coffee in a Dixie cup. I'm like, are you coming onto me? Because I thought this we were chill. And now I'm like, what is happening? So then so from how he's acting, I thought he was going to be like that guy fucking kissed me in the cab, like what the fuck? I didn't even know that was coming. Like, where the fuck did that come from? Yeah, but he's not at all. He's like, that felt like a date. And then he then he kisses me. And then he just drops me when I'm developing feelings. And I was like, Oh my God, this is so cute.
Starting point is 00:59:05 There's gonna be like a gay storyline on here. I can't believe it. I know. And I was like, wait, Michael's the hot guy is pining after TJ. I mean, TJ is cute. TJ is hot as hell too. But normally it goes the other way
Starting point is 00:59:18 where it's like Michael's is the hot guy and like the introvert, the one who's awkward, who can't quite find his place in the gay world, is gonna pine after Michael's the on a table one, but wait, it's going the other way around. I was like, I love it. Yeah, it's pretty cute. So he's like, yeah, there was never a conversation.
Starting point is 00:59:35 Like there was never like, I mean, what's going on here? And so he's like, he's playing games and I'm not here for the games. The coffee I'm kinda here for, I would have preferred some heavy cream because it doesn't take me out of ketosis, but otherwise, whatever. Yeah, like like what's up with these games? Like just be straight up.
Starting point is 00:59:56 And that is like, yeah, it's kind of a pussy, to be honest. So now Maddie and John Bradley or Joe Bradley arrive at a place called the Picklebar. And I was like, oh no, pickleball. I'm really excited to play pickleball. Yeah, you're definitely better than me. And like, I'm afraid to play sports against and all. And so, oh wow, look, we have a private court. Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 01:00:22 I'm like, yeah, that's how pickleball courts work. You get it for your group. It's a private court. He's like, there's not even traffic on private court. Are you kidding me? I'm like, yeah, that's how pickleball courts work. You get it for your group. It's a private court. He's like, there's not even traffic on this court. It's crazy. It was great. I got my own paddle. Wow. So, um, I saw him play pickleball was in a crosswalk. It was pretty good. It was pretty good. I mean, it's still fun. You know, it was hurtful. Like I got hurt a lot. Basically I just like hit a pickle at a ball. It was kind of gross. It smelled. I got a ticket.
Starting point is 01:00:50 I thought pickle ball wasn't going to be like law prom. It was just like where pickles go to have a form of nuts. So he's like, yeah, I'm like the luckiest guy in the world. The Maddy wreath agreed to love me back. And now here we are, in Pickleball. I might not use the word lucky, but something. So Joe's like, yeah, I feel like, like some guys do Pickleball to get away from their wives. And like, I want to be with my future wife here.
Starting point is 01:01:16 She's like, ah! The only thing I could do was like wait out and be patient and then like in New York, she was like, come here motherfucker. And like, she grabbed me and like kissed me out and be patient. And then like in New York, she was like, come here motherfucker. And like, she grabbed me and like, kissed me right in the mouth. And like, since that moment, like we're pretty much like inseparable
Starting point is 01:01:31 and I've like never been happier in my life except until like, I just found out we have our own private pickleball club. Like actually probably number one moment. So Will and Emmy came and Will's like, whoa, how weird is it that we're on like a double date? Like, I mean, if you told me last summer, I would have like laughed at that. Like, what world did I leave and go to school and then come
Starting point is 01:01:49 back to? I mean, you guys are gross. Okay. So was there a crossover? Like, were you still with Trevor when you started with Joe and then Joe just like slams a pickleball into his chest? He's like, Whoa, whoa, whoa, sorry, bro. Don't speak that name in this sacred court, sacred private court, I'd like to add. And so Will's like, okay, couples, whatever, blah. So pickleball, they're gonna play some pickleball and they're gonna play pickleball, pickleball. And the girls are badass and Maddie's really good.
Starting point is 01:02:22 And so Maddie's like playing too hard. She's doing that thing where you hit the ball and tennis like, it's just, she's doing too much. She wins. So she wins handily. And so she's like, I spent too many years in rehab not to be good at pickleball. I mean, not to be good at ping pong. And this is basically like ping pong in real life. I mean, not to be good at ping pong. And this is basically like ping pong in real life. Yeah. I like that in rehab, it was ping pong in like dreamland, but out here it's ping pong in real life.
Starting point is 01:02:53 So they wind up going- No, actually it's even better. I'm sorry to interrupt you. She goes, and pickle ball is a human version of that. Yes. Before we were playing with robots, but now we stepped up. Human ping pong. So they basically, uh, Will's like saying like, I can't get over how weird this is. You guys are like a cute couple. Like do you guys cuddle and stuff? Like I'm really confused. Yeah. We cuddle. Ooh, something just fell over.
Starting point is 01:03:25 It is so windy here. It is a windy ass day here in Los Angeles and something fell over outside. It sounded like thunder. It's scary. Oh, wow. But you know what's not scary? I wanna look at my ring cam.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Joe and Maddie. Well, it's funny that you're saying that right now because in this scene, they're inside now and they're like eating and stuff. And they're like, wow, it's getting really bad out there. And then they just show outside and it's a full hurricane. There's like a car flying. Like you see the fucking cow fly across the screen
Starting point is 01:03:53 and they're like, yeah, whatever. And there are people like, it's a lot there. They're like running in. You just see them like fly off into the sky, like never to be heard from again. It is crazy what's going on out there. Yeah. Like, yeah, it's crazy. Anyway, so they start talking about the party coming up and Matt is like, by the way, have you
Starting point is 01:04:13 guys seen each other since New York, you and TJ and Joe's like, yeah, I mean, like, oh wait, no, sorry, you're talking about me and Will. Yeah. I mean, you stopped by the club a few times and then Will looks down, looks sad, but also guilty because he knows what he said when he was at the club and he got wasted and talked shit about Emmy. Yeah, and he's like, yeah, this is so painfully awkward because like a few months ago, Will comes from the Republic saying the worst things possible about his own girlfriend. But like last year, I expressed my concerns about their relationship. Flashback to that, I've concerns about your relationship and I'm dressed like a Latin. So you have to listen to me. I heard those are rumors that will make that girl.
Starting point is 01:04:53 So, um, I've learned my lesson and guess what? This year, it's like, nothing's coming out of my mouth this episode, but maybe next week it probably will. So it was like, I just want to have a happy summer. Cause like I'm an intern at a law firm and it's like really stressful. And it would be great if my boys were friends. And he's like, yeah, but my thing with TJ, like our relationship and our past, it's like, still coming out. It's gotten like almost like, well.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Yeah. You don't talk when you're in the same room. Like what the fuck is that? He's like, yeah, well, I told him a secret that I made out with Luan and he said telegrave. And I was literally like best friends and married with him two weeks before that. And then this comes out of nowhere and he blindsides me with it. Like that's how I feel betrayed. And he has a right to, I think. And then he's like, fuck that guy. I trusted him. And he goes, and I can't trust him anymore. And I know that he's going to come into my relationship
Starting point is 01:05:52 and try to like, but, but, but sabotage? No, no, that's not it. Like, um, reconfilify, sabotage? No. What's it called when someone's trying to fuck with your relationship? Sabotage. No.
Starting point is 01:06:10 Yeah. Sabotage. God damn it, Joe. He's trying to sabotage it. He has all my past relationships. It's not just the Luan thing that made me not trust TJ last year. There was Sally, remember Sally.
Starting point is 01:06:26 And then we see a flashback to TJ being like, oh my God, she totally made out with somebody right before she ate your grandma's, your nan's chicken. Wow, like you made out with him right before our date. Like that makes me sick, Sally. Sally and Gaston who passed that audition onto Southern Charm. Congratulations.
Starting point is 01:06:49 So Joe says, why on God's green earth would I go back to someone who tries to, what's the word, emulsify? Sabotage. Right. Whatever. So well, it's like, you don't have to be friends with them, but you know, like I can't be put in the middle of this. So Matt is like, I'm not put in the middle and I'm like totally still friends with TJ. So whatever.
Starting point is 01:07:11 Joe's issues with TJ happened way before Joe started dating. Joe and I started dating. So they're like not my issues. And like I learned from my last relationship, not to let my relationship affect my friend's jobs. I think it's different. Like he's bitching at me for being friends with you. It's like TJ is? Yeah, and Joe Bradley's like, he's like a 32 year old and he's like, don't be friends with Joe because I'm not friends with him.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Like, is he that petty? Like a middle school girl? Girls are stupid. That's fucking crazy. That's weird. And Will's like, yeah, but taking sides is always a shitty thing to do. So, done, done, done.
Starting point is 01:07:47 So now we're all getting ready for Michael's party and Lake shows up at Michael's home with coffee, which he shits himself physically. Shits himself. It's like, I can't take it. I'm too hot for this. I am like literally shitting on the inside. She brought me a coffee. Like, what does this mean?
Starting point is 01:08:03 I thought like Lake and I were cool, but does she even know I'm gay? Like I am losing it. And then Bradley is over at TJ's and TJ comes out in a t-shirt that says Joe's best friend. And then Bradley's like, huh, I knew you were gonna do some stupid shit like that. And then we go to the Ryder Hotel and so hour before this big party and Joe and Maddie, they come in with these, this enormous like collection of balloons. They're like struggling. They're getting through all the doors. They go through the hallways, they go outside and Joe's like, all right, let's not let any of these balloons fly away. I'm going to attach this, um,
Starting point is 01:08:41 big pen to the bottom. That should weigh it down pretty good. I'm going to weight it down. Does anybody have a shoelace? I could just tie around that. And then there's a lot of mylar here. I'm just going to say there's a lot of mylar. It's a lot of sea creatures being harmed by this and birds. There's a lot of death about to happen because of these stupid balloons.
Starting point is 01:09:03 I thought those were outlawed. I don't know if they're outlawed. I think you're just not supposed to release them, although out into the sky. I think that's, I don't know, at least according to Karen Huger. I forgot to mention Joe's big joke, which is that he steps out of the car with all the balloons and he's like, huh, Matty, huh, I'm flying away, help. Just kidding, I wasn't flying away. The balloons weren't enough to fly me away. Guys, here's where I got it. To do, to do, to do, breaking news,
Starting point is 01:09:35 breaking news right now and watch what happens. Everybody hold please. Mylar balloons are to be banned in California by 2031. So enjoy your giant sparkly penis balloons now, because in six years, they're done. We're not gonna have you, we're not even gonna have birthdays anymore, okay? Marlar's over bitches.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Marlar's done. Marlar's the past. So they go in with the balloons and Matt is like, don't fucking let go of the balloons. Okay, you're gonna fuck this up Don't fucking let go They're all gonna let go. I'm totally gonna weigh them down. Hey, can I use that napkin to weight down these balloons? And we see that like last week Emmy and Mattie went to party city to get balloons and Because he's turning 22 Emmy holds up two it's a good fun house in here. They've made all these trucker hats that say like Michael's the best or
Starting point is 01:10:26 something. Michael's amazing. Michael's the best. I mean, I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie.

I'm not my God, look at the fun house in here. They've made all these trucker hats that say like, Michael's the best or something. Michael's amazing, Michael's 22.
Starting point is 01:10:51 And then there are all these balloons. She goes, could you put the balloons under the umbrella? And so he does. And she's like, this is like the eighth time I've been slapped in the face by these things, stupid balloons. So they start doing other stuff while he's weighing them down with a little bracelet he found on the ground.
Starting point is 01:11:08 It's like nothing. And she's like, they're gonna fly away. He's like, no, they're not gonna go anywhere. I weighed them down with an ant. So then Matt is like, okay, but I thought we were gonna separate the balloons. He's like, no, we gotta do the sign first. I printed it off of my Apple IIGS
Starting point is 01:11:24 that I found in the basement. Come on. So they start putting up a banner and then the balloons fly away. Of course. They're like, bye. Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, you fucked up, Joe. You fucked up, Joe. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Joe! It's fine, they're little balloons. They're little balloons.
Starting point is 01:11:46 Think about that. Come on, don't cry. They're balloons. Don't cry, Maddie. You can't cry over balloons. Yes, I can! You can't just get more balloons! See how hard it is to get balloons done? You have to order the balloons, you have to talk to the people about the balloons,
Starting point is 01:12:02 you have to come up with the idea for the balloons, you have to wait three days for the balloons, You have to go pick up the balloons, Joe. Are you really fucked up, bro? I was at the party store for six hours, Joe. Like literally six hours. I mean, to be fair, it was a DJ set, but come on, Joe. I was there for so long. And he's like, you were getting balloon for six hours.
Starting point is 01:12:20 Okay, that's when you die. You know what I mean? You're the one who released the balloons. Now's not the time to be getting fresh, sir. Okay. Okay, that's when you die. You know what I mean? You're the one who released the balloons. Now's not the time to be getting fresh, sir. Okay? Okay, because guess what? We've all been to party city or party stores and guess where Joy goes to die?
Starting point is 01:12:34 Party stores. And we've all been in those lines and you sit there and you're like, I just, this should have been a five minute thing. I just get balloons. And then you're there for 45 minutes, an hour, 90 minutes, just trying to get the fucking balloons. I actually was totally team Maddie on this.
Starting point is 01:12:49 100%. She's like, ah, the balloons, ah. Well, it's always the one who didn't do anything. He was like, it's not a big deal. It is a fucking big deal. Now what do you have? Nothing, trucker hats. And she probably did those too.
Starting point is 01:13:04 Yeah, she probably spent, she spent money on, those balloons are expensive. He's like, well, the balloons are gone. Fucking big deal. Now what do you have? Nothing. Trucker hats. She probably did those too. Yeah, she probably spent, she's spending money on those balloons are expensive. He's like, well, the balloons are gone. You know what are under the bridge? Balloons are over the bridge. They're over, they're over the revenue. They're gone. Ha ha ha.
Starting point is 01:13:16 He's like, I'll get you some more. It'll take 10 minutes. No, it won't. I'm telling you, it took me a week to get the balloons. Those balloons were back order for 23 years. This like global supply chain. I only just got those. I ordered those balloons in 2021. She's like, this is the worst day of my life, Joe. So then people start coming and say hi. You know, everybody's starting to arrive and Austin's like, I wanted an espresso martini. And while he's like, Oh my god, did you say
Starting point is 01:13:46 expresso and I'm training you? Oh, hell no, trainee, you better drop and give me 30 logs. You fucking moron. It has an S not an X. First person on Bravo to ever say these words. I know I can't believe they even let her on here. They're like, guys, it's a new generation on Bravo. How are we going to get this across? Have someone stand up against expresso. So Grace Lilly shows up. He's like, Hey, Grace, how are you? I miss you. I miss your work. I miss you in life. Well, it ain't happening without me. Okay. I just saw Terry Gar and she says,
Starting point is 01:14:23 who the fuck are you? And I was like, oh God, you are so funny. So Emmy comes and she's like, hello. And Joe's like, hey, man, can you keep a secret? Yeah, we drive here with balloons and as we're setting up the sign, the balloons flew away. Emmy is like, are you kidding me? I skipped leg day to get those balloons, leg day. Emi is horrified, which I like.
Starting point is 01:14:50 She's like, she gets it. You know, she's like, how could you do that to my friend? So now PJ and Bradley come and let's see. So Joe Bradley's still talking about the balloons. He's like, I've never seen a shark talk about balloons. And then we see Maddie like holding herself on a drink, like stressed out. She's like, I've never seen a shark that talks about balloons. And then we see Maddie like holding herself in a drink like stressed out. She's like, where's Michael's?
Starting point is 01:15:08 I cannot wait. I can, I'm so upset that I have to tell him about the balloons. So then TJ and Bradley walk in and say hi and everything. And then Joe Bradley standing around and he's like, you know, he didn't, he didn't get a hello from TJ. So, you know, it's awkward. And he's like, it know, he didn't, he didn't get a hello from TJ. So, you know, it's awkward. And he's like, it's one thing to ignore each other at work. I mean,
Starting point is 01:15:30 there's rules at work. Like, but we're at a party. Like immediately I get negative energy from him. It kills my vibe. Yeah. So they're awkward. If you're so bothered, why don't you go say hi? Yeah, exactly. Because I think he knows how TJ is. Cause TJ is like, Yeah, exactly. Because I think he knows how TJ is. Because TJ is like, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. TJ walks in. He walks in and kind of keeps looking back at you like, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. He grows. Yeah, it's making it very obvious. So then Bradley is talking to Grace Lilly. He's like,
Starting point is 01:16:01 how are your vibes Grace Lilly? She's like, they're doing good. I made Jesus cry last week on accident, but he kind of deserved it. How are you? He goes, are you wavy baby? She's like, I'm getting my booty back. And Bradley's like, yeah, I was about to say I saw jiggle when he walked in. I was like, damn, Grace is coming back. Yeah, Grace is coming back. is coming back. Yeah, race is coming back. So they're all just like having fun and everything. And then Michael's Michael shows up who he seems, I don't know if this was supposed to be a surprise party or not, but he seemed very unsurprised by the whole thing. Yeah. And, um,
Starting point is 01:16:37 he's like saying hi. So everyone's coming around him and everyone's like saying, hi and being like, Oh my God, Michael's, they're all hugging. And TJ does that weird thing where he's like, I'm going to be separate. So he like goes and gets a drink, like, well, everyone's hugging. He goes and gets a drink for Michaels. Cause he's like, I'm going to be the guy gets him the drink. So I'm like, I'm not going to be there to hug him because I'm not going to be like crazy like that. I'm going to get him the drink.
Starting point is 01:16:56 And so it's like that weird energy where you're like, Oh, TJ, just be chill. Just hug him like everyone else. And then he's like, Oh, I want a spicy Mark please. And TJ, cause I already got else. And then he's like, oh, I want a spicy Mark, please. And TG goes, I already got it here. And he's like, oh, well, I mean, that's okay. Cause just take it, just take it. Take it, I timed this out perfectly, take it. And Michael says like, literally,
Starting point is 01:17:16 my brain just shitted into my ear canal. So don't know what to do about this. It's like a bag of mixed signals. It's just like so selfish, point blank, period. GJ is like, all right, well enjoy your margarita. I'm not going to talk to you the rest of the day, mate. So then Bradley, and then Bradley's like, Hey, what's going on Michaels? Did you see Preston? And there's like a guy named Preston who's like over in the corner and Michael's
Starting point is 01:17:44 like, yeah, he looks hot. I want to bite. I didn't know you brought me a cake though. Vanilla, hello. Oh my God, I'm freaking out. There's vanilla cake, vanilla cake. I said I wasn't gonna have vanilla cake today, but now there's vanilla cake.
Starting point is 01:17:55 I am shitting myself. So now everybody starts jumping into the pool wackily and this guy that he likes jumps in backwards and somehow makes it right through a donut, you know, like a donut blow up thing. So then everyone's like, that guy's amazing. He's almost as amazing as Michael is at managing a restaurant.
Starting point is 01:18:15 So then Joe is watching Maddie talk to TJ. So Maddie's over there. She's like, you know, there was that weird time when I was like friends with you first and then you and Joe got really close. Do you remember? Cause like, you know, you guys should get close again. And. She's like, you know, there was that weird time when I was like friends with you first and you and Joe got really close. Do you remember? Cause like, you know, you guys should get close again. And Joe Bradley's like, I don't like the smell of this. I don't like the look of this.
Starting point is 01:18:31 Maddie got in the pool. Let's make a chat. Everybody say Maddie got in the pool. Maddie got in the pool. Maddie get in the pool. You can remember it cause it rhymes. Yeah. And the chant does not catch on. And then Bradley and Lake are like talking and being flirty, which is nice. And Bradley starts saying how Lake started working at Republic a few months ago.
Starting point is 01:18:54 He's like, and it didn't take me long to notice her. I'm like, well, it took about half a second. I think you have a boner for any lady that walks through that front door. Yeah. Hey, why aren't we gonna get an update on what's her face from last year? She's not here. The mom.
Starting point is 01:19:08 Lucia. Lucia, yeah, where's she at? She's not back? Probably not. She has a kid. Lovett's like, she was so lucky I let her work when she had a child. Yeah, I said it.
Starting point is 01:19:23 So Bradley's like, yeah, Lake's new and she's hot. So I'm into her. So then Maddie, meanwhile, is talking to Emmy and she's like, are you getting in the pool? And Emmy's like, do you want some salad first? And she's like, I want octopus first. So then TJ comes over and she's like, TJ, you gotta talk to Joe.
Starting point is 01:19:42 I feel like you guys owe each other a conversation. He's like, I'm not, I'm really trying to have respect for myself. Do you think you can just shit and I'm not gonna retaliate to show everyone who the fuck you really are? Wait, but you talk shit first, then he talk shit. Because no, babe, I gave him the opportunity to tell the truth when he cheated on Danielle
Starting point is 01:20:01 when he fucked Luan. That's what I fucking did. So that's another thing, okay? I feel like I need you to, that's what I fucking did. So that's another thing. Okay. I feel like I need you to, I feel like I need to tell you that like once a cheater, always a cheater. He cheated on Danielle. He cheated on fucking Natalie.
Starting point is 01:20:14 He cheated on all his past relationships and I wouldn't be a friend if I didn't tell you. I don't know how Joe's relationship characteristics are different from Trevor's. Okay. But you're also kind of being a little naggy tattletale right now, and that's not cool. You betrayed your friend. You started this. For Danielle, of all people. You started this. Who like even knows about Danielle
Starting point is 01:20:30 or cares about Danielle. You can't betray your best friend of like years for Danielle. That makes no sense. So you're fault. Yeah, you started this. Yeah, you started it. You're fault. So Maddie's like, well, you're wrong though,
Starting point is 01:20:41 because I know who Joe is, you know? I've been friends with him for years, and like, sure. I like she tells us, she goes, yeah, it's like not news to me. Joe's a, well, you're wrong though, cause I know who Joe is, you know, I've been friends with him for years. And like, sure. Alex, she tells us, she goes, yeah, it's like not news to me. Joe's a cheater, duh, but he's not going to cheat on me. I already know his red flags. So like again, he did not necessarily wrong on this one, but. Yeah. T.J. is wrong about his role in the feud.
Starting point is 01:21:02 He's not wrong about Joe cheating on you. Yeah. So Joe's like, I don't trust TJ. I just know that he's in her ear whispering negative shit. Like Joe's over there. I can read it all over his mouth. I just know he's gonna get between our relationship once again.
Starting point is 01:21:20 So then Joe Bradley comes over and he's like, TJ, we gotta talk. We're gonna have this conversation like adults. So just say yes, you're gonna have a conversation with your ex best friend. And they're like, gentle Joe, gentle. And he's like, oh wow, he's not even willing to look me in the eyes right now.
Starting point is 01:21:36 Look me in my eye right now. Look me in my tongue. I mean, I don't know if you deserve that. You disgraced Danielle all Danielle Oliver from Summer House. So then everyone's kind of watching them now. And Joe Bradley's like, Oh, so you're not going to talk with me? And he's like, you didn't take accountability for what you did. Dude, there's something I want to talk to you about.
Starting point is 01:22:01 What? What are you saying? What are you saying? It's one on one. Stop pretending like you about. We're one. What? Well, what are you saying? We're one. It's one-on-one See they stop pretending like you don't understand Bradley speak. I mean Joe speak So confusing here, oh my god, hey Michaels, can you help us decipher? No, sorry busy busy mentally wiping the shit off of my mental shit So Get off of my mental shit. So Joe was like, why do you think I sent you those messages, TJ? And then we see the text that say, like the same thing about like your dentimia and stuff.
Starting point is 01:22:33 And Bradley is like, what did he do to TJ? Joe needed to apologize. What he did to TJ, those text messages, Joe needed to apologize months ago. And Lake says, some people just don't take accountability for their actions. It's like, exactly. Yeah, well, you're standing with a guy
Starting point is 01:22:50 who won't admit to the blow job by the dumpster either. So. Yeah. So then we go back to Joe and TJ and Joe's like, we gotta talk right now. And he's like, I'm just not ready. I'm not ready. I'm not ready to have hard truths about the Wandelisens.
Starting point is 01:23:08 Like, well, I'm done. That's it. So Joe, he storms off and he's like, he wouldn't even look at me. Don't you ever, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Will this friendship ever be repaired?
