Well, hello and welcome to Watch What Crapins, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. I'm Ben Mandelker. Joining me today is the one and only the joyous, the joyful, and the beautiful Ronnie Karam. Hi, Ronnie. How's it going? Hi. Hi. Ronnie and I are doing something cray-cray in June, which is we're going to New York City and we're putting on a cabaret. It's forbidden housewives,

a watcher-crapins cabaret, a crapperay, and it's going to be on June 3rd and June 5th. Two shows. Seating is limited, small venue, and a lot of tickets have been sold. So if you want to come join us, the link is on our website, and it's also on our social media.

So come join us. I think it's going to be a really, really fun and funny time. We're just going to be laughing and singing songs and making fools of ourselves and having a good old time. So can't wait to see all of your faces there. And fun fact, Ben Rimmelauer is the one who reached out for us to do this.

And Ben Rimmelauer is also the man who is behind Luann's first cabaret. So this is as authentic as a kid. We made that basically. We made it. We made it. What else is going on with you, Ryan? So come check that out. June 3rd and the 5th.

And if you want this video on, if you want this recap on video or you want bonus episodes, this week was Top Chef. last week with Survivor. Who knows what next week is going to be? Who knows? I don't. Go over to our Patreon. That's also where you get our free weekly blog, Read What Crapins. That's really fun.

So you can sign up for that for free. And that's that. What were you going to say? I was going to say, I just want to make sure everyone knows this episode of Watchwell Crappens will not have any stunt cameos by Mr. Beast. So you're A. Okay.

You're safe to all the Survivor watchers out there. No, Mr. Beasts on this. this episode. What's Mr. Beast on? Is he coming on this week? He was on last night's episode of Survivor. Oh, I have to watch it the next day because I have YouTube TV and it won't show it to me here.

It'll show me on my other time zone where I live. Oh. So I have to wait for it. So I haven't seen it. But I heard that it's going to be extended because of fucking Mr. Beast. I can't take that. Remember that last one with the country Western guy and he's like, oh, I'm Luke

Brian or whoever the fuck that guy was when we had to sit there and watch him talking Spear fishing for half an hour. Come on. Mr. Beast was much better than Zach Brown. Mr. Beast was not there to be like, this is what I do. We didn't have to watch Mr. Beast to go spearfishing. Mr. Beast introduced a twist and a cause. Real men. There was a lot of waxiness.

Real men spearfish. Why teach him, why feed a man fish if you could hand him a spear and watch him spearfish? And they're like, oh my God, you're so amazing sing it's a country song. And he'd be like, my fish. My fish is in a pickup truck. My fish loves that pickup truck. I was like, oh, my God, you're slowly killing me episode. Yeah, that was probably one of the worst moments in Survivor.

Or I should say one of the worst of the non-problematic moments in Survivor History is watching 20 minutes of Zach Brown, Spearfish, and talk to us about how important Survivor is in his life. But yeah, last night's episode was two hours, but you could fast forward over like a good chunk of it. Oh, I will. Unless you want to sit and watch people balancing balls on things. But it was a good episode. It was a good episode. We probably won't recap it because it was so long. And we need to like spare ourselves sometimes with these super long episodes.

But it was a funny one. And yeah, you'll enjoy it. You'll definitely enjoy it. That's for sure. All right. But today is Southern Hospitality Season 4, episode 9. Suns out, Shades out. And this one is going to be about.

Maddie's birthday. Last time was about Joe's birthday, but this time it's about Maddie. So let's see what everyone's doing. T.J. is making breakfast and sort of feeding a sausage to a picture of Mia. And then Lake is at a grocery store trying to figure out vegetables. She's like, I can't have too much cheese because then I'll be on the shitter. And now we have the boys, Michael's and Brad and Joey bottles and they're playing golf. And basically, they're like, oh my God. Like, Michael's you hitting that ball? That's the straightest thing I've ever seen you do. Yeah, you guys, this is like really good therapy right here.

Like going from emo night to fucking golf. Yeah, we're doing that. I loved it. Like, I'm so grateful, like, how into it you guys got. Like, that meant the world to me, which is so funny. Because I just realized that Joe says that all the time. It's like, you giving me that straw right now for my coffee. That meant the world to me.

Thank you so much. It meant the world. I think I was being a little. little dramatic about the whole 30 thing because like I don't even feel any different. I'm 30 now. Should I feel different? My bumpet still looks the same. My skin still is only 22.

So being a little bit dramatic. But it meant the world to me that you guys all were patient with me. I know I made a lot of the about this whole month because it's my birthday. And Maddie's O'Leo. And I feel like deep down it's like kind of eating her up that like, you know, where's my birthday party? So my buddy's getting us on a yacht. And I'm going to have like a crazy pirate themed yacht party.

And I'm going to surprise Maddie with it. Another year, another booty. Yeah, I don't know about this. Maddie has probably already told him 20 times. I don't want to do anything, Joe. For my birthday, I don't want to do shit. That's what I want to do. But don't you want to do something?

No, Joe, nothing. And he's like, we're going to have a giant party for Maddie. Joe, tell me lies. Okay, the sky has read. No, I want to watch Tell Me Lies in Bed all day for my birthday. Oh. Why do you want to be told lies in your bed? Joe, it's a TV show.

I can't follow. So now it's time for night shift at Republic. People are partying and Mia shows up with a bunch of ladies, a bunch of sexy, sexy ladies. She's like, hey, everyone, these are my beautiful friends. What everyone likes to do, hang out with their friends where they used to work. Right, ladies? They're like, yeah.

Hey, ladies. You want to meet a bunch of guys? in Tommy Bahama, follow me, okay? Please do not put us by the older ladies again. Hey, Mayor, you wanna come sit by us? We're getting sparklers again. Those things are fun. I was really upset and I have been upset

that all season long we have not seen the Chloris Leachman waitress and especially I'm upset because it turns out that today would have been Chloris Leachman's birthday. So I felt like they should throw us a bone today. And also, amusingly, yesterday what popped up in my social media timeline, because I guess I talk about it enough that the bots have listened and are serving me this important information. Yesterday was the 31 year anniversary of the final episode of Empty Nest. Whoa.

Wow. Your algorithm really does know you. Geez. Yeah. I was like, on this day in 1995, the last episode of Empty Nest ever aired. And then there was like all these people that were like, what is this show? But it doesn't know you well enough to serve it to you like on the 30th anniversary. It's only this random one, like the 31st anniversary.

Yeah. Stupid. So she comes with a bunch of her friends and Lake is at the door and Lake hates me. So she's like, oh, do they have a table? Okay. Why are you stressed? Why are you stressed about this Lake? It's like, they don't have a table.

I don't want to put them somewhere. Mia sucks. Mia's like, everybody VIP this way. Whatever, like, whatever, like, whatever. Okay. Okay. Whatever. Mia's like, um, I have the haircut of a 45-year-old cougar. And so, and you have the personality of a 13-year-old girl.

So between the two of those things, I'm just going to ignore you right now. Okay. Bye. And Justin's like, calm down, like. Like, right. He's like, no, they don't have a table. You're not Beyonce, bitch. Like, typically when you reserve.

a table you're going to call ahead or email ahead don't walk up here in VIP thinking you got a VIP table this is Republic so like this is this is it's full like we have seen you guys we saw you drag in eight octogenarians last week yeah off the street please stop acting like republic is always full we know it's not it's it's not yeah like is it kind of being annoying now like I've been like a big fan of Lake for a long time, but she's being kind of annoying now. So Mia's like, um, I think she's forgetting who she's talking to. I used to be at the front door and I used to be selling tables and this job is not rocket science. Like, like, oh, maybe she forgot because she only worked for five seconds.

Like both of you guys shut up. I'm not interested in your feud. It's not, it's just not good enough. Just welcome to the bar, you guys. So they're taken inside. And meanwhile, Emmy's in the back. It's like, um, what's up, Pookie? You know, like, um, hi, Michaels.

Like, you look like you have a thought or two. Like, what are you thinking? This is me, fun, Emmy. It's very, and he just ignores her. And she's like, it is very obvious when Michaels, like, has a problem with anyone. And I, I, I don't, I don't even know why. Like, so Michael's tells us, after email night, I was getting a lot of spam text messages from Emmy, like, freaking out. And, like, oh, my God.

like here we go and then he like shows this like wall of text from emmy like like not even paragraphs it's just one long paragraph and then there's some attachments and this and that it just goes and goes and goes and he's reading he's like i'm being like goslet and to feeling like i wasn't allowed to feel on save and like every way every ride to feel the way i did and then she sent me like some chat gpte screenshots and then oh my god i can't even read this shit it's like too much like it's too much and emmy's like not thinking about how things that she's saying are like damaging to brad's reputation it's just like selfish at this point jeez amy god so she really is a disaster i mean seriously so you're texting another black guy to what excuse your micro microaggressions against the other black guy come on

she's she's basically trying to get like she's trying to get someone of color to co-assign her to be like see i'm not racist because lucia said it's okay and uh michael said it's okay so it's okay so it's okay Right? It's like, I mean, yeah. Like, it's, it's actually staggering how much she's been digging her heels into this. Like, most people on TV have enough media savviness to realize, oh, okay, I should walk away. I should walk away from this stance right now. And she is just like doubling and tripling down. And I actually don't even like when people are like, it's because Will and her mom are getting in her ear.

They may be, but this is also, she is a independent person. this is on her. This is on her that she has these really problematic stances and it's extremely disappointing as someone who has been a fan of her in the past. It's like really disappointing that she cannot get past this.

Yeah, she learns nothing. Instead, she shows up and she's like, hey guys, listen, no drama today. Okay, I don't want no drama in my life, okay? Oh, God, Emmy. I learned that from a song. She's going to start quoting black people now. She's like, guys, guys, guys, give me a break.

I sure could use it trying to make it to the top. Am I right? It was like, yeah. Guys, rock the boat, work the middle. Am I right? Am I right? Please don't do that. Guys, I don't want to fight.

I'm moving on up to the east side. Okay? To a deluxe apartment in the sky, you guys. Wow, your, your access is really limited to black music, Emmy. I went from Mary J. Blythe's to just sitcom theme songs. She was like, guys, guys, I just, this place used to feel like home for me. And there's no place like home, do-do. When your family's around, you ain't never alone.

Am I right, guys? Am I right? So now it's a new day. Everyone's going to their pirate boat. They're all dressed like pirates. And Brad's wearing another wig. He's like, this is my second wig in a week, like three days. days, like two eggs and three days.

Huh, it's crazy. Yeah, this show's really, really killing it. So then at Maddie's, we see Joe bringing her a birthday smoothie in bed. And he's like, happy birthday. She's like, yeah, there's the dog or whatever. Yeah, she's a Leo. It's her birthday, too. So, like, here's Olive.

She's like, yeah, honestly, Joe, like, I felt like it was already the worst day of my life, like waking up nine in the morning. I was like, oh, my God, especially after your birthday weekend. So, like, I'm birthdayed out. The last thing I want to do is anything for my birthday. I just want to lay here in my bed and eat Uber Eats and bed rot. Yeah. Or we could go on a boat and you could be surrounded by people engaging in the thing that you swore you never do again.

So how about that? Yeah. So any intelligent person would be like, listen, I'm so sorry. I made a huge mistake and planned you a party. What should I do? Do you want to go to the party? Should I just cancel it and tell them to enjoy the boat? Like, what should I do?

I feel terrible. But instead he's like, no, you know what we should do? Like, you should get out of bed and then we should just go, like, have a romantic day together because we haven't spent a time together in a long time. She's like, oh, my God, Joe. That is so romantic, Joe. Okay, I'll get out of bed if I get to spend time with you. Just one-on-one time with Joe, which I haven't had in so long.

He's like, okay. You're making it worse, Joe. It's time for coming. It's time for a crap and's commercial. You know, I'm sorry, I've been preoccupied because I'm just trying to imagine the process, like the thought process of Maddie Reese naming her dog Olive. Like, Olive is not a crazy name for dog whatsoever. It's some people are just named Olive. But for Maddie Reese specifically that she decided to name a dog Olive is like a very funny concept to me, the more I think about it.

like Maddie Reese finds a puppy. I was like, um, Olive. Like, I don't know why. Like, I just don't see her naming a dog Olive. I see her naming a dog of Ichi or something,

like, as a tribute. But like, I don't know. I, like, the more I think about Maddie Reese. Jazzy Jeff.

I think, the more I think, Jazzy Jeff. It's big bopper. Um, I don't know why. It just says like, I may be alone in this, but if you really think about it, if you think about Maddie Reese thinking about olives, it's just a funny concept. Well, it's also a drink garnish.

So it's kind of a weird thing for a sober person to name. You know, it's like just things you're missing. Like a twist. My other cat is named Twist. Rind. Shaker. Pearl onion. Wait a second.

Someone say pearl? There's no. place like um emmy get out of here i'm so excited to have a romantic day with you joe okay thank you so much for that for not having a party for me he's like okay well happy birthday so on the boat me is like oh my god she's gonna be

so triggered when she sees this don't let it go of those balloons okay please we do not need a mattie being triggered over balloons flying away thing which i'm surprised we didn't see another scene of because they really love showing that they showed it oh they did They showed it. Yeah, they showed it. I think you blocked it out.

Or maybe you were distracted by Ali Balie. I was going to say, someone who could grab hold of those balloons and just fly away, Ali Bally is on the boat. Allie is really trying. I mean, she moved to Charleston. She's doing her best to hang out with this crew and get on TV. And God bless her, she just doesn't, she's just not very interesting. She can't even get on here.

Yeah. Part of me felt like this was a soft launch for her to take over Grace Lilly's spot. Because apparently Bella really is not working out. I didn't even realize that Bella was on the cast poster. It was like the entire cast looking all sexy around like, you know, like Leva and everything. And then Bella's there. I was like Bella? You can't replace Grace Lily with Ali Balli.

Like Ali Valley has the personality of like a dishrag. You know, no offense. Like, she's a very nice dishrag. William Sonoma dishrag. Yeah. But yeah, Grace Lily is Grace Liu. Like you need, there's no replacing that. Yeah.

So Lake is telling us Molly and Mia are just like the popular mean girls that like to think that they run shit but actually know nothing. And like my chakras are telling me to stay the fuck away. I'm like, you're the one who came at them. You're starting it. You guys exhibit things in your personality.

And you did this all because of Jordan. She was mad at Molly because Molly advocated for Mia to go on a date with Justin. She's mad at Mia for going on the date with Justin. She's just getting mad at. at these people all on behalf of Jordan. And Jordan's just sitting there, you know, girl crying under trees. Is that what you said?

Is that what you said a few weeks ago? She's just a girl crying under trees. Yeah. Stay under the tree. Just give her some sympathy ruse and just watch her dab her face to death. Like, what are you going to do? Let her go back to her young adult novel and you can go forward and have fun on the pirate ship.

Yeah. So Lake is bitching to Ali. She's like, oh my God, she hates me anyway. And Ali says, yeah. I feel that energy. So yeah, I feel it. So me as like, yeah, I've never seen a girl be so mad at me for like no fucking reason. Like it's ridiculous.

Like, what the fuck? And, um, and he's like, Maddie doesn't even fucking drink and this is a booze cruise? It's like a booze cruise. It's a booze cruise for somebody that doesn't even drink. I mean, that was one of my first thoughts. I was like, they're all going to get drunk on a boat for Maddie. I was like, it doesn't make any sense to me. It was Joe.

Joe is just not a very. He's sweet. He's thoughtful in that he's going to throw a party for somebody, but not thoughtful of like what kind of party they would enjoy or, you know, anything, anything like that. He's thoughtful, but maybe not diligent or thoughtful, maybe not detail-oriented, thoughtful, but not. He's thoughtlessly thoughtful, if that makes sense. He really is like the sweetest guy. We met him at BravoCon.

And he was, like, so sweet. He was like, I gotta thank you guys. Like, because, you know, like, no one was, like, watching us at first. And you guys really have had our back. And, like, it meant the world to me. And he was just so lovely. He's, like, a sweet, sweet guy. But I think he doesn't know his connect dots.

No, he's not a dot connector. So, um, my goals is, everybody's like, she doesn't want this party. Like, why are we doing this for her? And Emmie's like, yeah, I wouldn't fucking kill Will if he did those for me. Well, thankfully, Will will never do anything special for you. So you're lucky there. Okay. Yeah.

The if is a big if. I mean, the closest you got was getting, you know, driven around on a speedboat last year, like under the bridges, under like the Ravenel Bridge. So that way Will could prove to America that he isn't cheating on you. But yeah. Yeah. I don't see Will commissioning any yachts for Emmy anytime soon. No. So they're like, yeah, maybe Joe should just take her on the boat alone or something.

Meanwhile, Maddie and Joe are in the car coming over. And she's like, oh, my God. Joe, all summer we haven't done anything romantic together. So I'm glad we finally get to do something romantic. He's like, yeah, you're going to love this. It's going to be amazing. It's just going to be me and you. You're going to love that.

We're going to go kayaking. Like, you know what's also sad is that like, why not just lie and say, um, I got us like an afternoon cruise around the harbor, you know, like the kayaking is like, you're not even going to work. There's not even going to be a kayak visible, you know. It's like there's not, you're not going to get, like there's no kayak. Sure enough. They start walking up and she goes, oh, I'm not seeing any kayaks, Joe.

Like, they get through. Imagine what's going to happen when she approaches the dock. He's like, no, I think the kayaks are on the other side of the boat. Okay. The other side. Yeah. We're going hot air ballooning. So you're going to love this.

We're just going to go to the boat dock. We're going to go on a helicopter ride, but first you have to go to the docks. So they all hide on the. the boat to surprise her. And they do. They surprise her. And they start screaming and they're all pirates. And she's like, oh my God, Joe, I did not want this, Joe. Like, Joe, I wanted a private thing. Like, after your weekend,

I just really wanted to fucking chill. And he's like, but I planned it a long time ago. So come on. Just do it, babe. I love this show. It's so funny. The stupid things they do. So Maddie is like, she's like, I do not like surprises. And if there's a surprise, I want to be warned. Okay.

I was like, oh my God, come on, get your booty up here. So they like get on there and he's like, ha, I think I might be walking the plank on this one. Huh, huh, huh. Power joke. Yeah. She's like, I really thought we were going kayaking. I thought we were going to the boat marina to go kayaking.

I don't want to say that Joe Epic failed because like, I'm sure he put it like a lot of work into this, but like, yeah, he failed. He failed. Don't say that in front of la, blah, blah, though. So they get on board. And there's balloons and everything. him as like okay fine so where's my pirate outfit did you get me a pirate outfit he's like uh

please tell me there's a pirate outfit joe did you think to get me a pirate outfit oh this in my truck because i thought we're gonna go back to the truck afterwards why did you not put it in your day bag and be like yes what those or why didn't you have one of like why didn't you have emmy bring the pirate outfit there so that way she had something to change in. Like, come on, Joe.

I was honestly thinking about this the entire time. I was like, how's she gonna get into a pirate outfit? It's like,

I'm not gonna lie to you. Like, I kind of understand how Grace Lily feels right now because I'm the only fucking person here not in costume

at a costume party. And like, it sucks. Told you. Nine and a half for you, dumb bitch. Grace Lily just floats by

on another boat. A Tulum boat. So, Joe's like, oh God. Oh, put this on like a power ranks of how Joe fucked up like right below the balloons

and I'm about to jump overboard. So Bella's like, that's okay. You look pirate enough. Who are you? I'm Bella. I thought you were Ella. No, I'm Bella. Ella's back. It's fine. Just call me Ella. It's okay. I'm just happy to be here. She has a point though because Maddie does

kind of dress pirity anyway. Like she loves a headscarf that matches her outfit. You know? So the boys are all sitting around and Justin is holding an inflatable sword. And he He's like, this looks like a dick. Like a what? And he's like, yeah.

Like, tell me when it stops to T.J. Because he's like putting his figure around to be like, how big is it? Is it this big, this big? This big. And, you know, Michael's like, oh my God. No. So tell me, like, what's going on with like Charlie? And he's like, yeah, I think Charlie's the one.

I think I'm going to propose to Charlie. Really? All right. Well, talk to you in about like a month. He just got TJ'd. And Charlie told him that she really likes him, but let's see how Diar goes. So wait, they're Leo's. So that means their birthday.

This is like July, right? So when was Southern Charm shooting? That's what I need to know. Like, was she, was this when she was dating Craig? I want to know the timeline. Yeah. All right. All right, Mark Anthony.

I need to know. So Brad is, yeah, I don't, I actually really don't remember. Well, they had a July. Did they have a July 4th party on Southern Charm? Well, they had a Memorial Day party. They had a Memorial Day party, remember? So that's in me, right? So I feel like Southern Charm finished in June, somewhere in June, and then this show picked up.

Okay, okay, so that makes sense. I just didn't know if I had to fight for Craig because I will not see my innocent little Craig and being cheated on. Because you know this audience, the Southern Charm audience is Vish, like they will come for Charlie. they will rip her to shreds. So, so something about being bullied. Sure. It was like just the other day.

It was like, okay, so it was Southern Charm Star, it was in a Forbes article two days ago. He says he's opened up about being severely bullied as a teenager, which he says helped him develop resilience against modern online trolling.

So this is something he'll be talked about in his book. So, guys, When you see Craig screaming out a woman every season, just know, hurt people, hurt people. He was bullied, you guys. It's really hot being a young, wealthy, hot. Fake lawyer.

Straight guy. The world. So hard. So Joe is attempting to put on an eye patch, but he can't do it and somehow breaks it. And they're cracking up. So they're all congratulating him on at least making an effort. and the balloons start moving. It's like, no, no, no, they can't blame the balloons on me.

Oh my God, please. Does anybody have proof that I just saved the balloons? Please, tell Maddie. Tell Maddie. Just save the balloons. Say the balloons. They give her some non-alcoholic rosé. And Maddie's like, 28 motherfuckers.

And Michael's like, yo, no, you're pushing 30. And Lake is like, yeah, she's 28. Like, what are you doing tomorrow for your actual birthday? He's like, um, she's, we're working at Republic, okay? We are. Like, are you serious? Are you serious? I'm DJ fucking Maddie Reese.

Are you serious? I just turned 28. Yeah. Because we're going on the trip. We're going to have fun next week. It's a trip for your DJing, but I'm going to make it into like a trip for me. So get ready. Yeah.

So they talk about planning the trip and his family's there. And growing up, he would go over there in the summer and stay in the house as grandma owns because they have a bunch of mango trees. And then he's like, mango trees. Oh my God. I'm sorry. I love mango you guys. But he hates her. So he just like gives a little pause and just looks at her like anyway back to my back to my story about growing up in the DR. So yeah, our next. Oh my God. I love going to the doctor. We're connecting right now, Michael's. We're connecting right, right, right, right, doctor. D.R.

Okay. So the next door neighbors, their daughter and their son used to come in our backyard and like steal the mangoes at night. Oh my God. I love that skit on Saturday. Now have mango. You want to be. the mango. Oh, my God, it was so funny, right? Right, Michaels? Remember, we're friends. I five. I five, Michael's. I five. No. And my sister was, like, obsessed with the mangoes. And she would like, like, fight the girl off because she would come in the backyard and try to steal our mangoes. Oh, my God. I would do the same shit. I would do the same shit. Because I'd be like, oh, my God, give me my mango. Give me a mango. I'll be like, no, you can't take my mango right now. Look at me. I'm a white lady talking to a black man. Okay, I can, I can do it. I can do it,

I can do it, guys. He was like, um, I think that anchor was put down. And he's like, oh my God, I love anchors, don't you? Don't you, Michael? God, I have so much in common with the community. Oh, my God. My favorite anchor, Don Lemon. Right? Right, guys?

Give me a break. I'm so cold you there. Like, Emmy, please stop. So they all go frolic in the water and stuff. And Emmy talks to Maddie. She's like, um, Michael is clearly upset with me about something. I mean, like he's pushing me away. Like, he pushed me away.

It was like abuse. It was like abuse how he pushed me away. Like, I could have fallen over. He tried to murder me. I could have fallen over the boat. I could be drowned right now. It was, I felt unsafe. He was like stalking me with his hands on my chest.

Sammy is like, I am experiencing firsthand what Michael's did to Lake. He has a bad habit of going quiet, giving people the silent treatment. And I am on a phone dressed as a pirate. I'm on a boat dressed as a pirate. Do we really have to ignore me today? And then they show that she's actually not dressed as a pirate at all. She's just dressed like normal Emmy. Do you even know everything that went down on like Joe's birthday, Maddie?

Did you even hear about it? And she's like, no, but like I did see me in Lake like fighting and, you know, going at each other. And then he's like, yeah, I wasn't part of that. But like Julia, like Julia pulled me to the alley. It was terrifying and just like started like going at me like baseball bats. There was like a whole gang of people back. there. Like, they put it back over my head. Like, I was on a warehouse. I was like, where am I? Like, make a video for your mother demanding money, you know? It was terrifying. Maddie goes,

but the fact that you didn't react is really good. And I say that as someone who has no idea what happened back there. She goes, well, I did. I mean, I called her a fucking cut fitness when she walked away. And the entire night, Michael didn't talk to me at all. And then he sat next to Brad and Julia and Mia and the entire fucking night. Like, I don't know. I like, I, I don't know. Well, Have you tried to text him or talk to him? Yeah, I mean, I texted him and I expressed to him. I was like, everything. I was like, why won't you talk to me?

And please stop making me feel unsafe. And then this is like Michaels and like, you know, you're like my best friend. And you're supposed to be like a ride or die. Like you're supposed to protect me, okay? Protect me. Maddie says, yeah, but you know, like I feel like this hits home for him. Like personally, you know what I mean? Do you understand what I mean by that?

And I mean, it's like, I mean, what? What? And she says, yeah, I don't know how Emmy expects Michaels to defend her when he's someone of color who's also personally affected by this. I mean, loyalty is important, but like blind loyalty, like you just run into walls. Like, no one chooses that, you know? So I'm not doing that. And Emmy's like, you're on my fucking list of my wedding. Like, that's how you treat me?

Like, if I'm saying like two plus two is five, it's fucking five. Oh, God. I feel sorry for anyone who is part of Emmy's bridal party. Yes. The fact that she's like, it's my wedding. If I say two plus two is five, then you do it. If I say jump, you say how high. I'm like, bye, we're not friends anymore.

Yeah, goodbye. Enjoy your wedding. Have fun in your miserable marriage with your cheater husband. And Maddie says, wait, but two plus two equals four, right? She goes, that's my point. That's my point. Don't you understand? What does nobody understand me?

So then, oh my God. God, why isn't Mali, why isn't Mia a real pirate? Because she has no booty. Ha ha. And now, Emmy is like, well, you know what? I know this might not be the birthday party of your dreams, but like, we should go downstairs and hang out with everyone. So they hang out.

And it's like, oh, my God. And Maddie now is dressed like a pirate because she basically took some tipple claws and turned it into a pirate's hat. They're like, wow, you did it, Maddie. We did. And she's like, yeah, of course I did. Of course I did. So that's the end of the birthday party.

It was a fun time. but now it's time to pack for Punta Kana. Punta Kana. Pekay's favorite place. Here we go. The Punta Kana, babe. That's where you go. Wait, Punta can.

Was that what? Yeah. That's where you go. Punta canna. Was it Punta Kana? Punta Kana. Punta Kana. Puntikana.

So, everyone's packing and everything and it's like, oh my God, this speed all. Like, it doesn't even have a liner. Like everyone's gonna see my junk. I'm gone. That's like scary. So, uh, him and, uh, Maddie talk. And she's like, um, like, I don't know.

Like I originally brought this like net top thing, but maybe I shouldn't, uh, no, he did. He's saying I bought a net top, but I shouldn't have my pepperoni nipples out. So they're talking about what they're packing and, um, how he's not talking to Emmy. And he's like, yeah, I've done a lot of like realization. Like I just I'm not going to be your bodyguard or your mouthpiece, you know, and I'm over it. Like I'll have a conversation, but after that, like, I'm having a fun trip. Yeah, I'm Michaels. I'm known for like making sure things are fun.

Okay. So it's going to be a fun trip. Commercials. Here comes one right now. So now we go to Grace Lily and Leva. And they're meeting up outside of Zachary's, Zacharies. although at first I was like, is it called that? Or is it called Zach, Zax.

Zax. To those in the know, it's called Zax Dax. Okay. This is going to be an episode where Lever is going to check in on Grace Lally, and Grace Lilley is going to talk about her struggles with substance abuse. And I'm so glad they're doing it at a Dackery establishment. At a bar. Yeah. Lava's like, we will get some publicity for my scene, even if it's talking to you about your addictions.

Yes. No, we cannot go get ice cream because that's what you do on Bravo. when you have an addiction. You go get ice cream. Everybody knows that. But she's like, no, you will sit in front of 37 different churning, brightly colored, and also is like geared towards children. And Grace Lilly is basically a child.

It's like all these brightly colored things. So anyway, great. She's like, have you been gray? She's like, oh, my God, I'm good. I'm taking it day by day. You know how life is. Life's always life is. You wake up in the morning.

It's morning out there. The sun came up. I said, hey, son, what's you doing? Tell me to fuck off. Some can fuck itself. This is what I say. So what did the son do for me lately? Tried to give me cancer.

You know what? Life goes on, but so do we. Just how we do it is no mystery. Right, Leva? Anyway. So Leva's like, yeah, well, I didn't want to make any assumptions about what's going on with you,

but like, talk to me. And she's like, yeah, well, it's kind of hard to talk about, to be honest, but I feel louder or being more honest about my past. And basically, Grace tells, Leva that she is you know

she hasn't been honest really about what's been going on with her but that she has been you know dealing with ketamine you know abuse and substance abuse etc and Leva's telling us that like Grace used to be full of sparkle in life and joy and all these wonderful things and then she started a darkness

descends it on her she started become sad or she'd be unreliable she got into a fight they had to let her go and Grace is saying that she's now she's sober she's doing better she's not her bed sleeping all day. She's not depressed. She's sort of like she's in therapy again and she's on the up and up. Yeah. And Leva asks that she's seeing so much. She's like, I am. I'm therapy again. So that's good. Well, I'm at dating. My therapist. Yeah. It's super healthy. So you're really the first one to know that I admitted to it.

You know, like I admitted it to you and you are the first one to know. So congratulations. It hasn't even gone out on the gram yet. So that's something. Good for you. You know, good for you. You're like my big sister, almost like my second mom, almost like my grandma. I mean, you're just so old lover. You're just like a big old granny. It's like you go to the Natural History Museum and you see it those fossils, but it's you and you're alive and you run a bar, but you're a fossil. That's what you are.

So it really means a lot to me that you met me here. It's like, uh-huh. Okay, grace, thanks. Yeah, and I respect you. I love Republic. I'm not going to lie. You know, I love getting dressed up and like looking cute, walking in there and sit on those tables. You know, and so if I were to come back to Republic, I really hope we can be cool again, you know, so my schedule, what's my most of my schedule like?

I can't work on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and with the day, as they say, you know, but otherwise, I'm just ready to go, ready to do this. So let's do this thing. Put some money in my pockets. Get some lip liner. Come on. Um, yeah, I don't think this is a great environment for you unless you're okay. cleaning out a daquery spinner, but I think, unfortunately, yeah, I don't know. Maybe we should rethink this.

Hey, I'm getting a phone call from a, from a, that's a potato salesman. Got to check on the potatoes. I'm just going to back away from this very slowly, Grace. I let you have a scene. Talk to you later, Grace. Well, I've got another call coming in. Could you hold on? Listen to your potato seller, motherfucker.

You better back off, Margaret. I'm having a conversation with Leva. Stop trying to ruin my... Wow, you know the potato seller. Hell yeah. Um, so... It's my therapist, actually. The therapist I'm fucking.

So Leva's like, yeah, I don't know if this is a good space for you to be like, you know, drugs and alcohol and then a bar. She's like, oh, but it is. It is. You know, it just wasn't at one point, you know. But I can manage it better now. And I'll prove that to you. You know, however, you know, however you feel is what we're going to go with. So you feel like putting me on the schedule?

That's great. I'll go with that. I'll go with that. Sure, I'll work there again. Okay. Okay. Twist my arm. Okay, I'm back.

Employer of the month. What? Yes. Okay, fine. I'll do it. You know, I miss you guys so dearly. I miss the group. You know, it's one thing, you know, one thing I kind of do get down and out about.

I just feel so sad. She was like, yeah, I saw that you weren't at Joe's birthday. She's like, oh, yeah, and I wasn't at Maddie's birthday and haven't really been part of anything. But I'm hoping I can. maybe hang out with some people tonight. Yeah, they're in the Dominican Republic. Oh, yeah, I wasn't invited to that. I'm like, Leva, could you, like, not send her into a relapse, please?

Leva. Leva's just, like, twisting the knife. She's like, okay, well, you know what? I will save this for you. Card reading, you know? Like, when I saw you card reading, I was like, whoa, I told everybody. I was like, that is something the grace should, like, really go after. You know, something flaky doesn't actually have.

to have an education or any kind of real knowledge, you just sit there and make shit up and take people's money, you know? Like, maybe you could do it in a day club, you know, day clubs that just, you know, have random people coming around asking for money. You could wear a headscarf, you know, they could have events. You know, less about VIP and more about the grace experience, you know, just somewhere where you could just be, you know, yourself. And by the way, what happened to you and Joe and Maddie? Weren't they kind of like your people? Aren't you best friends She's like, oh yeah. So there was this joke I said that it's kind of taken out of joke in terms, you know, where I asked if Maddie ever fucked Joe in the ass if she ever pegged Joe.

So, and I said, I thought I heard that. Isn't he a sissy boy? No, I'm not joking. For real, he likes it up the butt. What's wrong with you? Are you in a lavender marriage? Things like that. She didn't really like that so much.

So I don't really want to repeat it again. because like I don't want to hurt their feelings. So it was just something that came out like word vomit. Yeah. I don't want to say anything that's going to make Joe butt hurt, you know, because he's got enough of that because he takes it up the butt a lot. So, you know, I was just thinking maybe keep that between us. And Lever tells a story.

She's like, you know, I've always really loved Grace Lilley. I remember this one time we had her into a management meeting on Zoom, and she showed up in a string bikini. I just remember texting her and saying, Grace Lully, put a shirt on. It was, yeah, great. She's like, I can do this level. I can do it, okay? I can do it.

She's like, yeah. Well, look, you made a joke that hurt Maddie's feelings. Yeah. Mm-hmm. But have you said, can we talk? She's like, well, I've texts. I've text. You know, I've text that I reached out, you know, even the night after, every day,

every day after, you know, I text you about, most of them say you're a stupid bitch. I'm going to fucking kill you in your sleep. But, you know, I mean, have you ever worn pajamas to, have you ever worn not pajamas to a Pajama party. It's hurtful. It's hurtful. It's hurtful. Um, maybe just like write her a letter, like an old school letter. Okay. Like, Q. No, no. No. Yeah. Like you actually take a paper and pan. Okay. G. No. Okay. When I say write her a letter, it's, it's, it's like a, it's a thing that you put in an envelope. Oh, Lily. G. Lilly. That's the alphabet. Nam.

it. Okay. I will accept that race. Thank you. You know, it's been over a month since I touched ketamine. And of course, there's like maybe times where I get triggered, you know, I resort back in old ways or whatever. But you know what I do now? I therapies, I journalize, I meditate eyes. Hula hoop. Give me a hoot hoop. You know what I'm saying now? Where's that? Where's that A? H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. That's what I got now. And it's real good. You know. So, okay, I'll see it work, Leva. She's like, oh. you're not hired okay see you i will take over i will take xax grace lily's dacquiries you're gonna doesn't rhyme so then uh now it's a travel day now it's time for everyone to go to punta gana so they are meeting at the uh charleston airport and uh emma is like i can't wait to get on this flight we're going to punta gana i want to go to fucking dance i want to go eat some tacos and the producer's like

It's not Mexico. Okay. I want to have some enchiladas. Still not Mexico. Fajitas, not Mexico. Gorditas, not Mexico. Burritos, not Mexico. Tacos.

You already said that. Still not Mexico. Jerk chicken is jerk chicken, right? No, that's not Dominican either. And she goes, okay, well, we don't talk about the food. Good to see that she's spreading it out in different areas. Like, you know what? she's not specifically targeting anybody she's just awful to everybody so yeah it's all just a big it's all just a big haze to her outside of charleston and her experience you know so now mattie is packing and we've seen them all get on the plane and who's upgraded who's not upgraded but here we are we're in puttakan punta kana so mea's saying oh yeah i've never been to the dominican republic like i'm a caribbean girl okay like my entire mom's side of the family is just

from Trinidad and Tobago. And I was born there and I was raised there. And then I moved to Belize with my dad who was living there, which is why I have, you know, the wire that I fight with. I don't know if I mentioned that. But yeah, like being different cultures, it's like who I am.

I just, I love it. Absolutely love it. And Justin tells us, Hey, you know what? I've never been to the DR. But a part of me thinks that I've been here vicariously because I've had a couple of Dominican girlfriends. I love Dominican food.

So it feels right being here in Santa, Domingo. They're like, you're not going to Santa Domingo. Then going to San Juan. That's in Puerto Rico. Cape Town, South Africa. Burrito. Tokyo. Nope.

Zachary's Dachry's. Jerk chicken. So now they get into the sprinter van and Michael's is speaking in Spanish. And Brad's like, oh, yeah, he's going to be showing off this whole trip. What is that Greek? Nope. I don't think it's him showing on. Not Greek.

Mexican? Well, that's not really a language. So then they get... Like, no one gets it. They're all... Zero people on this trip get it. They don't understand what's happening. So Michael says the last time he was in the DR was when he was seven and he's really excited about it.

And then he goes, it really sucks that Michaels and I aren't like on good terms because like this is his history. this is where his grandmother lives. This is where he buys all his shirts. You're not at the Banana Republic. You're at the Dominican Republic. Oh. Oh. Side question.

Why don't they sell bananas? I mean, you're walking through them all. You want a snack. You see banana. You go ask for a banana. They're like, we don't have that here. Fuck. Well, I'm hoping I can show you guys a little bit about my family tomorrow, guys.

I was thinking about doing. a thirst trap in my child at home. So then... They go to the resort and it's gorgeous, of course. And they're like, so are you guys coming to celebrate something special? And they're like, yeah, DJ Maddie Reese is in the house. It's honestly hard for me to like truly have fun until the gig is over. Like, what if I go to press play and I hit pause by accident?

What if I go to hit play and I hit stop by accident? What if I go to hit play and I just don't hit play? Or what if I hit play and then it, Play it's properly. Like, it's a lot of things to think about when I hit play. I have this dream that I press play and it like sets off the nuclear button. Like, what the hell? Really fucked this one up, Joe.

You fucked it up, Joe. Fucked it up. So Michael talks about how this is crazy different because they're in this gorgeous resort. And he's like, yeah, this is not how I grew up. He says, we were showering outside with the hose. Like, we didn't have a car. So like my grandma would drive her friends or she would have our friends come pick us up on motorcycles. and we like ride on the back of motorcycles and stuff.

And Justin's like, well, as they say in Spanish, Le Playa. Like, okay, thank you. You read a word. So then Michael's like, I'm a boozy bitch. I can't complain. I'm excited to be here. By the way, it's best to keep Mia and Lake separate

because I don't need to be breaking up any fights on this trip, even if it's just like the, you know, like a cow, cat fine. So Mia is, they're just me as talking to TJ and Brad about how it's a good group and they're going to have a good time

blah blah blah blah and then Emmy is in her villa and she's like this is my dream vacation like just you guys nobody else just us and our good friend local food burritos cannot wait cannot wait you guys

I thought of a really good idea for this town called the Dominica Republico whatever it is I am going to bring them burritos. Did you know, these are the only Mexicans

that don't eat burritos. Like, what the hell? Do you ever figure out what Domini can do? What? Well, they say, like, Domini can, but, like, can what?

Like, what can Domini do? Like, why don't you finish the sentence, right? Okay, I mean, we're going to send you back to Charleston. And the other villa, Mia is asking where Michaels is, and they're, like,

joking that he's going to be fucking, TJ the whole time. And Brad's like, so do you not want to hang out with the girls, Mia? What's going on? And Molly's like, well, the only person I feel awkward around is Lake. I mean, it's her issue with me that she's created. So I'm good. I mean, I have absolutely no idea why Lake doesn't like me. I don't know if it's because of me and Jordan. If it's because my resolved conflict with Jordan, I mean, emphasis on a resolved at this point. They should make a sport out of hateing me. Molly is always talking like she's got these. amazing lines, but they never come out amazing.

But she does deliver them very well. I think Molly thinks in actually like the nicest way possible, like not in an obnoxious way, but I think she's getting feedback from the producers that she's like in the center of the season right now. And like, she's just not. She's like, oh my God, this, this feud with Lake. Am I right, America?

And we're like, sure. She's like, I mean, it's really fucking annoying that I got my ass hand to me for being a quote unquote bad friend when you're going around to fuck o'shene someone who's not on this season and shows up for like a few seconds in an episode am i right america yeah and like lake uh lake called jordan the other day and was like people are finding out about o'shine and me and that girl having a threesome they're like what and so here's the scandal because it's like okay here we go mea tell us everything okay guys let me get this straight so asheen has a girlfriend, and Lake went home with him, but Lake is mad at me for going out on a date

with a guy, Justin, who's up with Jordan like a couple of times, not even boyfriend, girlfriend, oh my God. And Justin's like, the absolute hypocrisy. I mean, hello, like, am I at the Twilight Zone here? Like, am I losing it here? And Brad's saying, yeah, I mean, she's holding all of you accountable because all of you are bad friends, all of you, but not her. I mean, I guess, like, who has the longest term friends out of anybody running here? Okay, us, us guys. We win. We win.

Yeah. It's your crew. So now the DJ coordinator, Juan, comes to meet up with Maddie and Joe. And he's like, okay, everyone I want to explain about the event. Come on, follow me. He's like, go take a tour and they look. And Maddie's just, like, really excited to be doing this getting back on stage. And she's going to be, like, floating in the middle of a pool.

They're going to put a little podium up. And she's like, but what about my equipment? It's going to get wet. Which is her ongoing storyline. Like, my equipment, it's going to get wet. Joe. That's like every episode. My equipment got wet.

It's going to get wet. It might get wet. Joe. Yeah. So now, let's see. What do we do? Time for dinner. Reservation at 7 p.m.

And they're getting ready. And Michael's is going to put on some jorts. And Justin face times with Charlie. And he's like, hey, what time is it in Charleston? I didn't even know if there was a time difference. And Charlie goes, well, they're very well could be. I'm like, you know, there's a way to figure that out. You can share what time it is with you, and then you could share what time it is with you.

And if there's a difference, then you know, there's a time difference. But Charlie's like, there could be a time difference. I guess we'll never know. No way of finding out. And Justin's like, yeah, it's a single kind of vacation to be having a field day. But my connection to Charlie's just been so strong. I mean, it's been a week and a half. But her show's bigger of mine, so I'm going to be cool to her.

He goes, yeah, it's 556 type shit. You know, 556, that's that time of day that I think about you the most. Did you know that? 556? She goes, really, 556? Yeah, that's when I feel the loneliest. At 556. Oh, God, this guy, the way he is just like full of bullshit at all times.

He already admitted that he pretended to get locked out of his house. It's that way he could sleep with her. Now he's coming up with this line. Yeah, it's 5.56. Oh, I wish I knew what time it was here in Charleston. Let's go to wacky silly times with T.J. and Justin hiding in credenzas. So that's fun. They can, you know, fit in there, which is crazy.

And Justin's like, whoa, is this what it feels like to be trapped in the closet, TJ? How would I know? It's never in a closet. Did I even do this right? They, like, climb into the credenza. They hide. And then, like, Joe comes, like, Joe comes in. And then Brad is standing there.

What Brad's supposed to do is just go to the other room to do something. And then the guy's supposed to startle Joe. But instead, Brad goes, hey, look in the credenza. Kind of ruining it there, Brad. That's not how you surprise someone. Whoa, that was crazy. Because, like, I wasn't even expecting it. I'm like, there's no way.

Like, you sick fucks. Like, these guys are weirdos. They can get in credenza. Yeah, because Joe literally is like, where are TJ and Justin? And Brad says, check the credenza. So he walks up really slowly. And they're in the credenza.

Yeah, Joe. All right. So now Michael's goes to Emmy store. And he's like, um, hey, I wanted to ask if you wanted to go to chat before we go to dinner because like, I don't want a conversation across the dinner table. She's like, um,

yeah, let's go on the porch. Okay, go ahead. Oh my God. You look so cute, by the way. That is so,

so cute. Okay, go ahead. Talk. You can say anything to me. You can say absolutely anything to me. Oh, well, not so loud. Not so loud.

Whoa. God, feeling attacked. Okay. All right. Okay. Well, what I just, like, want to say is I think my biggest thing is that, like, I don't want what happened with Lake to happen with, like, me and Emmy. And I just would rather just, like, get on the same conversation.

So, okay. Can you just, like, tell me what it is that I did that was, like, wrong and, you know, whatever? And then, of course, Joe interrupts. because like this is his thing is like when people are about to have a constructive conversation or attempt at it. Joe appears out of nowhere. I was like, hey, guys, just want to let you guys know. I got a new bump it.

Okay. Guys, I just look. I see you're busy. I just want to ask you, does my hair look okay? Okay. I'll be waiting for you in here. If you hear spraying, it's hairspray. Don't worry about it.

By the way, two guys fit in the credence out. It's like, go away, Joe. We're talking. All right. I'll be in here. Okay, can I, okay, I'm gonna talk. Okay, I'm gonna tell you, okay, this is the story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down. I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there.

I'll tell you how I became the Prince of a town called Bel Air. Okay, Emmy, please. Okay, enough. Okay, I've here, okay. It's just never, ever, ever been a time that I can remember that I've never once supported you. Because you're saying I don't support you. I always support you. Whether that be like all the shit you got last year from the whole entire group,

you getting engaged. I was the first person you called, remember? And I just like, being in New York, with your fiance, didn't show up on stage, I held your hand, okay, and I wiped your tears. So for me, it's like really hurtful that you just disregard our whole friendship the second you felt like I didn't defend you to Brad.

So now everybody else is sitting down at dinner and Joe's like, well, anyone's wondering where Emmy and Michaels are? I know they've kind of been having like some problems, but like they'll be here soon. The important thing is they both liked my hair. So we should be up. It's real important.

Really boring. And Molly goes, I can smell someone's Axe body spray from over here. Who is it? Admit to it. And they all just stare at her. Like, how are we supposed to pick just one? You're in Axe body spray neighborhood.

I mean, every one of these guys is wearing axe body spray. I know. But the camera then just goes over to Justin. He's like, hey, why do you guys look at me? So Michael's basically is like, you know what? You know, our friendship should not be reliant. I'm me telling you whether you're right or wrong in a situation. and I've been a good friend to you.

And, you know, I hope, like, I would tell you, if you were wrong in the situation, I hope you would tell me if I were being wrong. And she's like, okay, well, I took what you said about how this is like Brad's his own, like, personal issue. Seriously, I just felt like invalidated in my right to like, he's like, um, yeah, you need to stop. Like, whether you feel invalidate or not,

you're never going to understand what it's like to be my skin color. She's like, no, no, no, I won't. I absolutely, I won't, I won't, I won't. this is making me feel scared and unsafe. I was like, seeing you're doing it again, you're doing it again. And he's like, so you don't know what it's like to be yes. She says, yeah, no, I don't. I mean, yeah, I mean, no.

So when situations like this happen and I say drop it, just leave it. She's like, yeah, but like, here's the thing. Like, because like, look, I talk to Lucia at length about this because I wanted her to like, tell me if I had done something wrong. And then she said that his actions were unacceptable. So solved. Okay. I know a person of color And the person of color said that the other person of color was at fault

So Yeah What more do you want for me? Yeah, and of course, Emmy had You see a flashback of her talk to Lucia And saying like, he actively chose to text me, not my fiance And you chose to go after me and scare me and be like Sleep with One Eye Open and what the hell does that mean?

Like was that man have his door for me because he's a vengeful man, blah blah blah You didn't say Sleep with One Eye Open, did he? Not that what we saw. We saw him saying like, you know what you're dead to me? because she said he's dead to me and he heard it and he said you know what you're dead to me too like whatever but now it's like sleep with one eye open he was pounding on the door i was in the shower i was naked uh-da-da-da-da-da-da-da it's like it's the hysteria is like getting bigger and bigger and bigger like she is turning into the lady who harassed like the the bird watcher in central park

at the she's janiting she's janiting this situation right now and i was actually like really really really bad and scary so um Lucia, I was waiting to see what Lucia was going to say because we see Lucia's face and she's looking at her like you're crazy, right? But then she goes, wow, what a violation of privacy. So Michael's, of course, calls it, God, I waxed my nose hairs the other day and they're like growing in and it's making my nose. It's so bad. Oh, it's making me crazy. I feel like a Coke head over here.

So anyway, Michael's calls this and he's like, well, yeah, she used Lucia to validate her own feeling. and I can guarantee you that Emmy only told her her side of the story, you know. So, I mean, he's like, there is no microaggression, okay? Like, and I'm a hard time moving on. Like, when a man stalks my hotel room, like, he threatened me. Like, he sent me those two impulsive texts. Like, that was terrifying, okay? I was like, terrifying.

So Michael goes, um, I'm confused. I don't really understand, like, what's brand situation has to do with our friendship? He's like, because I would fucking ride or die for you. And I feel like you didn't. Like, I don't think, like, you understand. Like, I had a fucking panic attack in my hotel room when Brad was texting me. Like, well, we're supposed to have a 9.30 p.m. flight that he changed. He changed the flight.

And Michael's is like, Michael says the thing that everyone's been saying online, which is, you feel unsafe and your fiance's in the room. Girl, I would not marry a motherfucker that made me feel unsafe if somebody's banging on my door and so on my room. Like, am I wrong? And he just stared at the camera. Yeah. Yes. Precisely. And so he says.

So whether you agree with it or not, look, there's a double standard here. It's just, I mean, look, I just want us to, like, align our opinions because, like, I mean, like, when they don't align, it's, like, hard for me. So, like, by align our opinions, I mean, like, when I say something, I need you just say, like, you're right. And then, like, tell, you know, call the police on him or something. Like, is that so hard to ask? Yeah, right? Like, why doesn't he help me with that? Because, honestly, I think that for tonight, I feel like we should just be able to, like, just, like, go to the table of conversation.

because like I said, I haven't been here in a really long time and I just want the opportunity to be like to connect with my family. So, so basically it's like I'm not getting anywhere. Let's go to dinner. Yeah. So at first, my first thought was good for Michaels because he did not end up screaming at a woman because that would have been a third time this season. So I was actually proud of him. Although it is, it is Emmy and you don't want to get into a screaming match with Emmy because she will win in the screaming department. So he didn't.

So I was like, good for him. Like, he's learning as the season goes on, you know. So then we go to dinner and Maddie is talking about how she's going to have to DJ at the pool. She's so nervous. And then drinks start coming to the table and they start talking about their worst first dates. And Molly goes, yeah, I got hit by a car once on a first date. That wasn't good. It's a big trend on Bravo these days, apparently, between this and Rhode Island.

So Michael's and Emmy joined them. And Emmy sits down and says, I, caramba. So Emmy's like, I'm happy that he heard me out. Like now I can go dinner. And like at dinner, we can keep this a private matter between Michael's and I. We'll just keep this very private and no one's going to know about it.

Then Bella's like, guys, here's my worst date. My date was arrested on Valentine's Day. He was arrested on our date. They're like, wow, that's crazy. Who are you again? I'm Bella, guys.

I'm Bella. So then Joe is talking to Michaels. And he's like, what about you? Do you have a crazy date story? And Michael's is very upset. It's like he's moping. And they all see it. And they're like, oh, God, what's wrong, Michaels?

Come on, Michael. And he's like, I'm fine. They're like, no, you're not, obviously. He's like, the one time I tried to get through to Emmy, she doesn't hear me. This trip is important to me, but you only care about yourself. And so, Emmy, not getting it at all.

It's like, I'm where everybody get their outfits from? Mia's like, my outfit's from Colt Gaya. She's like, really? Oh, you're an expensive woman, whatever, whatever. But Michaels is like, he's like really hurting because he's like trying to get through to his friend. She won't listen to him. And like it's all, it has to be compounded by like there's the fact that this is such a sensitive issue about microaggressions. And Emmy, he cannot get through to his best friend about this.

It's got to make him feel like shit right now. Like it's got to really be very hurtful to him. And so he's just like going through it. And TJ's like, oh, yeah. Well, you know, he has a hard time opening up and everything. And so Maddie goes up to pee and Michaels goes with her. And she's like, what's going on? Like you look like you're about to cry and everything.

And meanwhile, Emmy is at the table. Completely oblivious. She's like, oh, yeah. Is that lioness? Is that not, no, no, that's not lioness? Is that like runway the runway or the preorder? Like, whatever it is. I love it.

Oh, my God. So good. She's just like in her own. own world, completely oblivious, that like, she is massively hurting her best friend because she's being so insensitive to his lived experience. Yeah, and he's crying in the bathroom to Maddie. And he's like, she doesn't listen. She's like, yeah, you know why? Because she's Emmy. Like, Emmy doesn't listen. And so, uh, he cries in the bathroom. Yeah, in the bathroom. And that's how it ends. And that's how it ends. Well, everyone, to be continued, we'll see what happens next week

on this wacky and silly show that somehow manages to do. deal with very heavy, serious things, but also be a light frothy show. We will talk next week about the next episode of this. And in the meantime, get your tickets. We got a notification in the middle of our recording that our 7 p.m. Friday show has sold out for the caperet. So that's very exciting. But guess what?
