It's going to be some great time. I was drinking water. Thought you were going to talk longer. Everybody, welcome to NextGen, NYC, season two, episode nine. No F's giving. I don't give a F. So, French giving episode. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. So we see, it's like, day before Friendsgiving and George is just like in a car riding through the city and she's like, yeah, I feel like there's been like no stopping. Like I got back from Vegas, landed and then it's been like, go, go, go ever since. Like I chatted with Brooks a little bit, like I went Rowan a little bit because I saw her mom at a charity event. I was at the other day. It's been like nonstop. What does Georgia do for work these days? Again, event planner, event thrower, like what? Why?

Why has her life been nonstop? We haven't seen her do anything. I was wondering that too. Yeah. Anything with business. Yeah, what are you doing? I mean, yeah, she does party planning, but I don't know. We haven't heard of any specific ones.

Yeah, I kind of wondered her too. I was like, what is a day in the life of Georgia like? And she drives in the city. That's pretty rare. Well, I don't think she drives. I think she was just in the backseat of a car. Oh, I thought she was driving. No, no, no.

I think she was riding in the car. Oh. Uh, never mind. That question's gone. It's like, oh, look at that. So grocery store, uh, Gia and Ava are shopping and Ariana comes. And, um, Eva is wearing like a fur coat and a crop top. They're like, oh my God, where are you going? Fashion Week. It's stunning.

Yeah, Carrie Bradshaw is my inspiration. I signed my lease today. Moving on Monday. And like, oh my God, so happy for you. Blah, blah, blah. And then we go back to the car, uh, where Georgia is still, sort of like giving her thoughts on anything. And she goes, I'm going to make an adult mac and cheese.

I'm like pretty good at boiling water. I taught Charlie actually how to boil water. True story. I swear. I swear. Pass his 30th birthday. He like didn't know how to boil water. Yeah.

Just put a camera on Georgia and just let her go. That's what she does. Please. Please. She's so funny. I don't know what she's talking. about. She goes from like, yeah, it's been like, go, go, go. It's like so rough. I've just, like, not stopped. So I'm going to make an adult mac and cheese. Like, Charlie doesn't even know

how to boil water, like I do, like for real, for serious. It's true. It's ridiculous. I know. We're going to keep it. I wonder how much footage that is. It's probably just like an hour and a half of Georgia going from one location to another and just not shutting up. Oh, my God. And all of it's just got to be hilarious. Just her commenting on things and her hot takes on stuff. I mean, she really is. She's amazing. So back at the store, Gia is checking what everybody's bringing.

So she's sending them messages and stuff. And then we go over the fact that Ariana is bringing vegetables with Liam. It's huge. It's huge deal. And we find out. that Hudson has been removed from the group chat because he got all pissed off when he found out that the group vegetable thing was, or the couple's vegetable thing was happening. And so Ariana made Riley do it. She's like, I don't want to look like the asshole for doing it. You do it,

Riley. Yeah. So Riley is like, she said that she got a text from Hudson being like, wow, really? But she's like, I didn't respond. So now back to the store. And Ava is asking, Arianna, she's actually dating Liam. And she's like, oh, we're not dating. No. I mean, like, we're going on dates and like, we're just like figuring it out. But like, that's it. And so that we see a flashback of them on a date the night before. And Liam is like, I don't know what's going on. And she's like, I don't know what's going on either. Even though you make me nervous, it's a good nervous. It's a good. Yeah, but if that's a good. Yeah, but they don't really have a lot of anything. They show them on the date and it's like,

like, just kind of staring around. Like, should we talk about something? I don't know. So it doesn't seem like much is going to happen there. But they do have a date tonight. And she tells them that they've made out. And he invited her for Thanksgiving. And they're like, oh my God, that's a little fast.

Havis says these men have lost their minds. Like Liam inviting Ariana to his family's Thanksgiving. That's like literally crazy. Like I would invite someone to my dad's Thanksgiving. but he's literally asked me for $20,000 to pay for the Thanksgiving in the first place. So I'm not really sure where we're going to go from here. Yeah. I mean, I feel like he just had Ariana over for like, what was his birthday with his family?

And now he's having her over for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving's a big deal. It's a big deal. Yeah. And then she talks about the stuff with Shy. And she's like, I mean, what the hell? Shy asking if he could kiss me while I'm still living with my ex. He was on one bed.

I was on the other. He said, can I kiss you? And I said, no. Like, where are the boundaries? Yeah, where are they? Where are the boundaries these days? So, I don't know. I think I lost track of where we are in this very different conversation.

No, they're basically teasing her that Charlie's going to cry because Ariana is dating Liam. She's like, he can suck my ass. Like, yeah, he would. But, bye. So they're like, what if Hudson shows up to this Friendsgiving thing? What will we do? because obviously the plan is to have Hudson show up and start some drama at Friendsgiving. So then we see Charlie, he's walking through the city.

I miss a skateboard, personally. I loved when Charlie would have as like, yeah, I'm a cool guy. I'm a skateboard. So whatever. Yeah, he was like one of the people back then. And Ariana tells us that Charlie, Charlie loves to be involved in the drama. And he told Hudson to come to Friendsgiving to tell, like, to tell Liam like, what the fuck's going on and put him in his place, you know? And then we see Hudson, right?

We go to Hudson and he says, right now I'm thinking about coming and crashing the whole thing. And Charlie's thinking you'd love to see that confrontation play out. I love that Hudson is this like, do we be threat from Atlanta that they never know if he's going to like show up and then sulk. Like that's his whole thing. Like is Hudson going to do anything? Hudson just shows up in sulk's. Yeah, what's Hudson going to do? No one's afraid of you, sucker.

and the producer is telling Charlie, wow, you're friends with everyone's ex. Do the guys just like you more? And he's like, yeah, it better be portrayed on the show. It better be like an episode like Everybody Loves Charlie or some shit like that. Yeah. So then they do a little sitcom intro. So now we see Charlie and Omar. They're going to have a little drink talk about their bar that they're going to open up.

And Omar is all about giving a lowball offer. to this one spot that's like really struggling. And then Omar's like, so how was Bravo Khan? And Charlie goes, it was good. I mean, one of the panelists, I think the one with the hunchback asked, who's the fame change the most? And everyone around the home was just like Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Georgia. And it's just sort of like this like, I don't know,

minorly putting, she was minorly put in her place. It was really good. I really loved that. He's like, you would have loved it. Yeah, and then me and Ariana fucked in the plain bathroom and everyone made a huge deal about it. It was fine. It was fun.

They talk about Hudson and, but he's just catching Omar up on all the gosset, but Omar still just a bundle of charisma that guy. So how's it going with, how's it going with Ariana? How's it going with Hudson? Yeah, he just pops on camera. That's what he does. Yeah, he just comes alive. So then Omar asked how Hudson's doing and Charlie says,

he's out in Atlanta and he just dipped, bro. She's like, fucking, she's like fucking Liam for sure. That's what I got to say. And like, you know, Arianna's like listing her friends to like to also be weird to him. And like she told like Riley to go kick him out of the group chat. And it's just like a cold world, bro. Like got to bundle up. So the producer asks Hudson, oh, you're still in close contact with Charlie.

Why? And he's like, I think Charlie is the most malicious person I've ever met in my life. So I'm going to buddy up to him. I don't think Ariana's interested in him, but it's inevitable that Charlie's going to try and make his move on Ariana. So I'm playing my hand the best I can. Like the entire motive is to keep your friends close and to keep your enemies closer. So I'm trying to figure out how to manipulate Charlie before he manipulates me and then manipulates her. Yeah, your girlfriend broke up with you and now she's going to go hook up with other people.

That's it. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know what you're trying to achieve here. Or what, like, even if they do, like, have sex, what, how you're going to be able to fix it by being friends with Charlie. He's just an idiot, this guy. He's just, somehow it's like worse than Charlie. I think his manipulation is that he wants to still be on the show without dating Ariana.

So he's got to have other people to shoot with. So he's being friends with Charlie. Yeah. He's, I don't think he's as smart as he thinks he is. He's just, I don't know. He's, like, his whole game plan doesn't make any sense to me. Like, you don't have to be that literal with the expression. It's time for a commercial.

It's time for a crappence commercial. So it's the day of Friendsgiving, and so Brooks FaceTime's Ava. And he's like, look, I'm making turkey-shaped sourdough. And she's like, oh, my God, does it even look like a bird? She's like, oh, my God. Like, I don't even know. And then Teresa and G.R. cooking. And Teresa's like, I'm so old and a ditty.

Like, what's the cook? Like, you only like doing that stuff in your 20s. Haven't you been selling cookbooks for like 20 years? I know. Seriously. Did Teresa forget that she's trying to sell books online? I think she forgot that part. Then Rowan and Brooke Shields are trying to figure out how to make butternut squash soup.

And Brooke Shields is like, she's like, well, there's a reason I did a segment called Brooke don't cook. Am I right, everyone? Am I right? Brooke don't cook. God, I remember that. Really? No. What does she do a segment on?

That's what I'd like to know. Brooke don't cook. Yeah, I don't know. So they're looking up how to make butternut squash soup. And she's like, mom, she's asking the digital assistant, Sue. She's like, Sue, how long do we need to cook

butternut squash? And Brooke's like, we're going to just leave it in here Rachel is soft, God damn it. Okay. Geez. Back to Gia's. Gia and Georgia are face-timing. Georgia's going to come up.

And she's like, I don't even mind if your parents are there. Like, I'm totally good with parents. I love that. Yeah. And so Brooke is talking about how she met Georgia at a Meals on Wheels event. And she's like, yeah, she was lovely. She was so pretty and so sweet. And so effusive about you, Rowan.

And Rowan is like, oh my God, she's like impersonating her mom being like, oh, my God, your friend came up to me. And she was like very excited of me. I love you and loves you and loves you. But Georgia tells us, she's like, yeah, I charm that generation. I think like boomers. They just like really like me. They show Seth and Brooks and Brooke and they're like, not boomers. Or Teresa Brooke.

So Teresa, the cookbook office. author who insists that she wrote every single recipe herself and did not steal them from her grandmother at all or her mother. It's like, Hey, so how long does it take to cook a 13.7 ham? And then Rowan, this is where Rowan and Brooke are trying to soften the squash. And Brooke is like, we're going to cook the shit out of it until it becomes ripe. I was like, well, that's not quite exactly how that happens, but that's fine. I know what you're trying.

I know what you're going for. Amira has the best, the best kind of grandma. The best. You know, we all love this kind of grandma, especially on TV. We're like, hey, grandma. She like, hi, honey, you look so good. Oh, my God, you're so beautiful. What are you making over there, candy?

The grandma's name is Betty. And I think the rule is that if you have a grandma named Betty, like, she can act in no other way than this. Like, is there a grandma Betty who doesn't, act like this. She's like, oh my god, you look wonderful. And Amira's like, I'm making your pecan pie. That's wonderful, honey. I love it. Well, I'll see you next week. Kevin's coming with me. Kevin, oh, I'm so excited. What a cool guy. He's just such a cool, cool guy. So then we go to like to think these grandmas hang up the phone. They're like, little fucking bitch. Shit.

Calling me during my shows. Now you call me what you need. Let me guess. She wants to learn how to play mahjong. I don't play it. So now at 6 p.m. at Ariana's apartment and Liam and Ariana are making carrots. And you know what sucks?

Is that they all have to make this food and transport it to New Jersey. That's a pain. That's a lot to bring all these dishes out there. So... Most of them are driving, you know, driven. And it wouldn't have been good for me because I'd have been like that damn train and the stairs and then the yeah really anywhere in New York. I don't want to be bringing food over.

I feel like New York is not a good potluck city because of that. Yeah. Liam and Ariana are making these carrots and Liam's like, I need a favor. You know what I need. And then they kiss. And he's like, yeah. Actually, what I needed you was to bring me my side so I can run over this scene for tomorrow. Got a big audition.

Actress Life. Yeah. Hopefully it's for somebody who really understands carrots. Method. Method. And then we go over to, and then she gives him another kiss. And she can drink now, you guys, because she's off probation. He's like, don't love the solo cups, but that's how we got to do it.

This is how she was raised. This is fine China in this old. at home. It really is. I love Arianna also saying, sobriety's been great, but I'm off probation now. And I'm coming back hard. I'm coming in hard. I was like, okay, I guess, I guess the lessons were not learned. So, so then he's like, so what do you like, stem or stemless wine glasses? And she goes, I like a big stem. Oh yeah, you like a big stem.

He's like, yeah, I like a big one. Like last night. Oh, yeah, being an actor, you're used to all sorts of flirtations from girls, but when there's that one that you really like, you're happy to show up your big stem. Oh, actor. Yay, how was Liam in bed? Oh, he had a really big stem. It doesn't sound good. It's long, skinny. So then we go to Friendsgiving, and, oh, wait, first the producer asks Liam what he thinks of Hudson possibly coming to Friends.

just going to be a total surprise to everybody. And he's like, I'm not going to let some stupid ex-boyfriend bother me. Is he a motorcycle riding, acting firefighter who ice skates? Nope. I don't think so. Did he audition for an indie film that was only to be shown in a regional film festival in the shorts division? I don't think so, bro. I don't think so.

Doubtful. So now Charlie's Now shy And Charlie is texting shy That he thinks Hudson's bailing And then we see an Instagram post from Hudson That his Lampo caught on fire In the middle of the night

After being hooked up to a battery tender I don't even know What is a battery tender? Do you know? Did you lose me, Bannoons? No Hold on a second, everybody I'm still here

I'm looking up a battery tender It's a smart electronic device that plugs into a wall outlet and safety maintains a 12 or 6 volt vehicle battery at full charge during long periods of non-use. Wow. Okay. So I guess it caught on fire. Wow. Yeah. By the way, why don't you just have, what's so funny about this is, why don't you, you're wealthy enough to have a Lambo?

Why did you not pay like the extra $500 to make sure you had like a, a, charger safe outlet in your wall. Like, why did you use this battery tender? Like, why did you do the cheap workaround? And now you're a Lambo caught on fire. I have to do that to recharge my Lambo. Guys, I got to recharge my Lambo. But if I'm gone for a while, I have to hook a battery thing up to my car. Like, you recharge it and then, yeah, then you put it on your car. I don't know. And this is different than the- This is different than the charger you just plug your car into? I don't know, are Lampos all electric? I don't know, but like, for instance, with my IKEA, since it's a plug-in hybrid,

I had to have an outlet installed, and it's like it can't be like a normal outlet that you'd plug a toaster into. It has to be a certain kind of voltage that's higher. And then you plug in like this box, and then that's like your charger box. And then you plug in the charger from that box into the car. But like the point is, like, there has to be an adjustment in terms of like you can, you can't just like necessarily plug in from the household like you could do something from the household and be a trickle charge and that's like takes a long time and it's apparently very expensive

all i'm saying is that i feel like hudson probably tried to do a cheap workaround that i'm like bro you've got a lambo why did you not pay to have a proper outlet installed for your car oh yeah i don't know how lambos work but i do have one question whatever happened to gas whatever happened to it you know it's a good question so now Hudson's fucked so he's not going to be making it to Friendsgiving well you guys have teased us a lot

for this big thing that's going to happen in Friendsgiving which isn't going to happen so thanks a lot Dix Also was he going to drive up to Friendsgiving in his Lambo I don't see why his Lambo catching on fire prevents him from going to Friendsgiving BG Dubs Oh, well, that's true. But I guess that's like your baby.

You know, like, my Lambo's in trouble. I need to be with it. So now we go to Gia's apartment and Georgia comes over and Gia's like, oh, my God, last thing I have to do is make the chakotot a re-wash. Like, I'm good at that. Let me wash my hand so there's not a riot. Yeah, it smells good. Like, I'm going to make a cleaning product just for you. I'm trying to show people that, like, cleaning can be, like, fun sometimes.

Yeah, because she hates cleaning, you know? Then Gia's boyfriend Christian shows up, and they're setting the table, and people start to arrive. They're in the common area of the building. They've taken it over. And Brooks and Shai are, you know, there's still tension between them because of Brooks, deciding that he doesn't want to be a Shai's photo shoot. and then Liam, Ariana are making out and, um, Ava. And then here comes Kendall.

Oh, Kendall arrives. And Liam is like, Kendall. He's still trying to, you could see he's still trying so hard to sell Kendall on this group. At this point, Jackson has dropped off. I don't know. Maybe his dad was like, please don't be on reality TV. I'm an esteemed director. I don't need you to be on this show.

Or maybe Jackson just realized, I don't want to be with these awful people. I can be with much, much better people. But either way, we still have Kendall with us. And for the first time ever, someone outside of Liam says something nice about Kendall, which is Ava. And Ava's like, Kendall's quiet, but she's clocking shit. Yeah, it's me, Kendall. I love Ava. She's like, so funny.

I went out with her the other day in Vegas, and we ended up in a stretch limo. Here's a picture of it. We didn't even know how we got there. Oh, Kendall. I mean, it's amazing she doesn't have her own spin-off at this point. Kendall just kind of comes alive at one moment, like, what are we doing in a stretch limo? Where am I? Who are you?

Where's Liam? Yeah. She's the battery tender. Exactly. So then Georgia, Prez arrives. Prez. You know, there is a lid for every pot. That's for sure.

That's right. And Prez is definitely a lid that. Georgia needs because he just shows up and they're just, they just love being grossed together. And I'm not going for them. They do. She's like, she's so happy to see him and she tells us what she said like, Presn and I're like in a really good place. I could be like, what do you think about getting marriage night and I'd be like maybe saying yes. So Charlie and Shai are like talking about Prez and everything.

And Charlie says, look, Georgia's a fucking handful. But if you're going to sign up to be your boyfriend, you should be loyal to her. And Prez is maybe smart enough to see that she's like a little bit crazy or whatever, but he at least has to fake it for his go-friend, right, man? Yeah. So then it just cuts to Prez and Georgia dancing like really awkwardly to no music playing. And Georgia's like, yeah, it's really annoying because like his name is Prez. And so like every time he gets to meet somebody, they're like,

Prez, wow, is that short for something? What is that? It must be annoying. That's why you don't name your kid's weird names. And they're like, well, what are you going to name your kid? She's like, only option is sushi. Sushi. This is from the lady who wants to open up a club club.

So Prez is saying, yeah, I was worried this was going to be a shoes off party. She goes, why are your socks mismatched? And he's like, no, they just say. stink she goes oh did you just realize that today and he's like i've known it for days she's like yeah well wow you're making a really strong case for just like not smelling good she goes that's very anarchist actually to think out a party and know it is it anarchist to like have stinky socks on and had them on for a few days and then still wear them like um so prez is like yeah it's almost endearing to wreak like shit all over the place

yeah yeah you're making really strong case about not smelling good he's not let's get just stating that he knew the socks were stinky a few days ago and still wore them like the moment you know your stocks are your socks are your socks are stinky that's the moment they are they're out of play for wardrobe needs that means whatever boomer whatever boomer so Brooks and shy go outside to talk because they need to get they I need to sort this stuff out. And Brooks says, honestly, the whole situation with Shai has been weighing on me. I just want to be direct.

I'm not really happy with how dinner when in New York. And Shai's like, I can only take so much shit, you know, at some point, you only take an uncertain amount. And with Brooks, I just can't take it anymore. So Shia goes, you know, just to say my piece, I've been frustrated about stuff, but it's also been like affected me a lot and like you know how i mentioned i was like you know i was like not authentic and distrusting you mentioned that about me like i just felt like i just felt like i just felt like you for no reason you know and like i've done i'm done like walking around eggshells around you like

i've tried for the past month and a half and i'm like this is it for me like honestly i'm like just say how it is which is here's the first thing i'm going to say it like it is what is this show what is this like a reality show i know i didn't even heard of a reality show it's crazy bravo what's that tv right now this is not some briggs is like Well, I hurt your feelings. I didn't know I had that kind of power. I like you now. Let's be friends.

He's like, okay. Well, we don't have to like walk around like being best friends in the West Village or anything. But like maybe we could have lunch. Like talk about fashion. He's like, for sure. Yeah. I completely agree. So there you go.

Boom. Yeah. They settled it. They settled it. So he goes in and Brooks announces to everybody. He's like, shy and I just pressed a reset button. and nobody pays attention and shy's like yeah nobody gives a fuck no one cared the drama everybody has been waiting at the edge of our seats to see finished yeah seriously amira and

kevin arrive and amira's nervous because kevin and charlie haven't seen each other since halloween um but then uh ariana's like talking to charlie and asked about like what he did for his birthday and he's like i just chilled sleeping from Vegas from our long flight home lot of skateboarding during the day. It really tuckered me out, you know? It was hard, bro. She's like, yeah. It's a flight that we can't live down, am I right?

And, yeah, Charlie is like, Hudson was removed from the chat. I'm convinced he set his car on fire as a crash out. Which would be hilarious. That's like the ultimate, like, spoiled little rich kid move is that he sets his Lambo on fire just for attention. So, shy's like, I just think that Charlie's like, kind of like an agent of chaos. He's been with Ariana. Like, I'm sure he would, like, have loved it if Hudson was here just for, like, the chaos of it all, right, man?

And so, uh, he's an agent of chaos and he loves chaos. It's like chaos. It's like a lot of chaos with Charlie. So they get food. They all sit down. The food looks pretty good. I was impressed. Yeah.

It was. Yeah. Um, so Riley starts giving Ariana shit. She's like, you want to swap seeds so you can be closer to Charlie. And Charlie's like, huh. Yeah, it was really funny. It's really funny. Shai's like, that was chaotic.

And then they're talking about how the food is so good. And then Brooks says, I love that we can trust each other. They're like, no one poisoned them. And Mira's like, oh my God, wait until you get a bite of my at Pekan Pie. Can't wait for you guys all to have the Pekan Pie. A lot of hype on this one. It's Grandma Bettys. So then Amira.

All right, guys, I've got a game. We're gonna go around and say what we're thankful for about people. So just pick somebody. So they have to pick a name, I guess, and then go say something they're grateful. about? Is that a game or is that just like hokey, Friendsgiving stuff? So they go around, Amira pulls Kendall first. She goes, um, Kendall, I'm thankful for you because you always bring a positive vibe. It's like as generic

a statement as possible. You know, Amira's like, who's Kendall? Hi, I'm sitting right in front of you. Oh, I thought you were a PA. I thought you were just sitting in that chair waiting for the actual cast member to take over. Okay, Oh, well, yes. Great to see you, Kendall. Kendall's like, oh, thank you. Um, Eva, I'm really grateful for how our friendship has grown this. Yeah.

And then Riley's like, wow, you, we, uh, Rowan, we always like laugh when we hang out. It's, um, they're, you know, they need to do some Bravo games. Like, if you're going to whip out a game, it needs to be like, okay, everyone take a little piece of paper and, um, fill it with how you're going to make Brooks cry within the next five minutes. Okay, so he wants to make Brooks cry first. Yeah, Charlie says he appreciates Riley's honesty and that she has a good heart. And she's like, thanks. I would swap out my first class seat for you anytime.

I'm like, shut up. So they're just all just saying. It was pretty funny. She's like, okay, I got Georgia. Georgia, I feel like I love everything that you, She's like, oh my God, I'm honored. You're thankful for my clothes. Thank you.

Yeah. So they're all being really nice to each other. And Ariana's is like, Charlie, I'm grateful for the way, one that you make me laugh. And you're like, not as much of a dick as you give off. And I don't know, like you're a douche. But like, you know, I appreciate your duchiness. And everyone's like, look at her being nice to Charlie. Yeah.

So, I mean, everyone's like, what does she do? And they're like, wow, there's a vibe. But there's definitely a vibe with Ariane and Charlie. There's no denying it. And she does give the longest speech out of everybody. She's like, yeah, I'm like, maybe other people don't like you, but I get you, Charlie. You know, like, you're like in my heart. Like, what the fuck is she talking about?

Yeah. And she's like, sorry, guys, this is my first night drinking. Well, drinking again. So, yeah, they're like, this is kind of crazy. So then we have officially a pee break. It literally says it on screen. And Ariana, Ava and Riley go to the bathroom. And Ava's like, how's Liam dealing with Charlie?

And Ariana's like, well, I mean, who wouldn't be worried about it? And Riley says, you know, I'd be worried if my girl switched up her first class seat. She's like, well, I love to give up my seat. Literally never heard anyone say that they love giving up their seat in a nice cabin on an airplane. Yeah, no one. No one loves giving up their first class seat. So meanwhile, Amira is trying to get people to eat her pecan pie, but not many people will for whatever reason. And George is like, I don't like pie.

That's my only flaw. I don't like pie. My only flaw. My only, I just don't like pie. But it's so funny because, like, for the rest of the episode or the rest of the scene, we just keep cutting back to Amir, being like, does anyone want the pie? Does no one want the pie? Like, she was so excited to bring this. pie. She even teased it during dinner, like, wait to try the pie. And then no one wants to eat it.

Well, it's also the most we've seen her eat. You know, it's like when people don't eat a lot, but then they've made the pie. They're like, oh my God, this pie is so good. Okay, but you're into it because it's your pie. Like, you don't have to sell me on the pie so hard. Of course, you don't really have to sell me hard on a pecan pie in general. I love that shit. That's good, especially if it's like an Aunt Betty pecan pie. Now. Back in the bathroom, Ariana is saying, yeah, I think I've heard enough about Liam saying he's going to have his dessert later. He said he wants dessert and he's going to eat my effing pussy. Everyone's like, uh, gross. So Riley says literally did like he bless it before he got to eat.

Like, oh my God, Riley Burris, I did not have sex to them. So you're just like, thank you for your service. Take me to brunch so I can eat now. Oh my God. God, I know what Riley's saying right now in her head. Like, what did I say after Hudson? Riley goes, yeah, you're like, my next boyfriend has to be tall. And then you end up with five foot seven long stem over there. He's like, shut up, Riley. Okay, he's like five, seven, one, and two, it's not about the height.

Hmm. So, Riley, then they're sort of like trying to guess, like, how big Liam's dick is. which you know this will be a 10-minute segment on the reunion. And Ariana's like, everyone should know Liam is doing great down there. Okay, he's got height where it counts, okay? So she's like, well, I mean, I can't tell you, I can't, I don't care how tall you are if you're an honest person. He makes my heartbeat quick and my stomach turning butterflies. So then everyone goes outside to take photos.

And Charlie tells us, as a group, I think that we are closer in Vegas. I'm always in favor of keeping as much peace between me and the rest of the friend group as possible. Yes, Charlie, the peacemaker of the group, the one who is just trying to make sure everyone gets along. And then Liam tells us, I think he's trying to get on good terms with the group. Maybe he's also trying to look like a different person for Ariana. Was he trying to be an actor? escaping into a role. Sorry, bro.

Got to be there. Who knows? I see right through it. So the producer asks if Liam should be concerned at all that Charlie and Ariana flirt. And he's like, oh, it depends on how seriously he wants to be with her. You know, like, I think Liam is perfectly fine rebound material. But I mean, like, he's nice. He's nice.

I don't have anything negative to say. I don't mean, you can see him. Liam's like, Ariana tries to tell me Charlie's a good person sometimes. But the majority of people don't really say you're a good person. And so if it walks like a duck, I don't know the saying, the duck's a dick. Here's what I would say. If it walks like a duck and it can talk like a duck, has it ever had tacos at craft services with Mariska Hargatee? Think about that.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably a very qualified actor portraying a duck. Been there. Been there. So, Ava is moving into her apartment. She's like, oh, my God, it's so, so real, like, moving into my apartment. Like, no guys are allowed here. Only, like, women and gays. And then it cuts to the mover standing there.

It's like, ding. Yeah. And then there's headlines because Candy and Todd getting divorced. So Riley texts, you know, Ariana about it, and she was, like, not ready for it. So then we see Amira facething Brooks and Amira's like, oh my God, I look like Hannibal Lecter because she's in like one of those plastic masks, like the infrared masks, et cetera. She's like, did you hear the news about Riley's mom? I know. It's crazy.

I feel like it's all over social media. Yeah. And then we see all the girls texting in to check on her and see if she's okay. And then Riley and Ariana go meet by the Hudson River. to talk about divorce. And Riley's like, yeah, I mean, today's been like low-key annoying. I know my mom and taught her on a good page. Like, they're co-parenting well.

I just like, you know, the young one. So I'm like trying to deal with my emotions and see how I feel, but like also be there for my mom, you know. And so she cries a little bit. Yeah. I feel bad. Although I was a little confused when she said she's the young one because I thought she was the eldest child but maybe she meant like i'm the youngest one of the three adults in the

household i guess you could say i'm not sure yeah i don't know because there's two babies so yeah i don't know what she meant maybe she says that felt for the young one but no she said i'm the young one i don't know i think she just means i think she means that like she sort of views herself as an adult just the way her her parents are but like but like of the three of us adults i'm the young one so So she talks about how it sucks and everything and having to deal with a divorce and public opinion and public questions navigating all that. And she says, I think people were pressing her a lot. And she was like, okay, I have to like publicly speak about it. But like I didn't know she was going to do it at that time.

And I got like a text from a random number that was like, hey, is your mom okay? And she basically tried to reach. She thought her mom something had happened to her mom. And she tried to reach her mom. And Candy was on a plane. So she didn't hear back. So she was sort of going through it, et cetera. Yeah, and Candy just got annoyed with Riley for having to find out stuff on the internet a couple of weeks ago.

Candy. He didn't give her a heads up. What the hell? So Ariana's like, well, she's probably putting up a front that she's okay, but she's not really okay. And I want her to know it's okay to not be okay. So I have like a nice little scene. And then we hear Amira doing a voiceover. it. So I was like, oh, is this the, is this it? I thought it was the end, like the season finale.

I'm so confused. Yeah, but it was actually just like, this is what we all did for Thanksgiving. So she's like, well, so, you know, we all went off and did things. Amira, like Amira and Kevin went to Texas for two Thanksgiving dinners. And Brooks and Kate also went to Texas. And he wore Brooks Marks on the plane. And then Riley and and I went home. Brooks and Kate, maybe it was Brooks and Chloe. Riley went home to Atlanta. Everyone went home to celebrate Thanksgiving. I don't know why we needed all sorts of animation for this,

but I mean, it was cute. It was a very adorable little segment that was narrated. And then they went to Thanksgiving. And guess what guys? Afterwards, they all came back. And now here we are. After Thanksgiving, back in the city. Yeah, so we see everybody doing their thing.

Gia takes Pilates. Brex tries to figure out how to ship his clothes. And it's funny because he's asking the internet, how to get my packages from Austin to New York. It's like, please hold. Yeah, they just starts pressing zero over and over again. And then, well, basically, Liam is organizing the cast trip to go to Windham, to go skiing.

And he says, skiing is a big part of my life. I've been teaching skiing for, five years now. I have a buddy with a ski house in Wyndham. As a guy who loves upstate New York, why not bring my friends to go ski? Bring this group of athletes to go skiing, bro. That's just what I do. Firefighter and Lake George slash actor slash carpenter slash skiing professional. Brooks was like, I love it. I love group trips. What could go wrong? And we see flashbacks of fighting in their group trips. He's like, I'm more scared about the Catskill Witch. And they're like, Okay, what?

Yeah, I learned about that in an online forum. Like, I'm like a paranormal freak. Like, I get excited by it. My house was haunted growing up. That was just your mom. I'd love the idea of a witch. God forbid. Meredith tries to do some yoga or something.

Brooks is under his bed, terrified. I love the idea of a witch from the cat's gills. which is like, take my cat, please. Ah, ooh! Hey, anybody here want to piss on the fire hydrant? You're not dogs. I'll give you five shekels just to get out of here. Otherwise, I'll hug you.

So... Listen, you can call me a lot of things. Don't call me a pussy, huh? I said, there's something strange in my cauldron. And my friend, my other witch friend said, what's wrong with what's in your cauldron? I said, it doesn't taste right. She goes, okay, well, let me taste it. Okay, I said, okay, taste what's in the cauldron.

She goes, okay, hand me a spoon. I said, okay. And she goes, wait, where's the spoon? I go, aha. And then she said, you sold that from coming from America. And I said, perhaps I did. But I felt right for this region. One of my friends who's going through menopause.

She said, oh my God, is it hot? I'm burning up in here. I said, too soon. So they're going to be going to the Catskills. And Eva is now with Rachel Roy. And they're setting up a budget. And Eva's like, oh, my God, I made a budget for the move. And I'm over by like $2,000. And I love Rachel. So, so sweet. sweet and so lovely saying, and by over it, you mean in debt. You put it on the credit card, right? That means that you're in debt. You're in debt $2,000, honey. Just remember when you're buying things with the credit card, you're not really buying them. You're borrowing them. Okay. Yeah, it's called being an American. What the hell?

Guess what? It's time for Ariana and Liam to go on a date. So Ariana is talking about how Herski's stuff should be delivered because Hudson has to send her ski stuff over. And Liam's like, oh, did the assistant send it? It's okay. I have my hazmat book in case he puts anything in there. So I'll check. Don't worry. You've got a big week ahead of you.

You got mom coming to town. You got Breel coming into town. Don't you worry, honey. Which is a lot of covering of your purse you're going to have to be doing. Kim's coming in town. I get it. So then we go to Brooks, who's still on hold with the shipping people, and then they just hang up. They're like, thank you for calling. Have a nice day. He's like, oh.

So now, um, Eva, Amir and Kendall, go have a girls lunch. Yeah. Amira's like, this trip's going to be interesting. I mean, I feel like there's just like underlying tension, but I don't feel like there's anything that like there's like, there's like no drama. It's just like famous us words, right? And Kendall says, I know that Liam does love the group and wants to be friends to everyone. like he speaks highly about everyone except for like Charlie doesn't like don't like Ariana and Charlie do they have like their own weird thing or something I'm yeah so the girls are like um so basically Charlie will go to any girl okay and Kendall's like not me you're like well I mean I think it just like has a crush on Ariana is what I mean like he has had a crush on her since the day he met her and Kendall's like well I think Liam's picked up on

and he doesn't like it. A million percent. But I also think that if Liam's not hype about it, he needs to stand up for himself because otherwise, like, Charlie will bulldoze. And so they're like, yeah, Charles could press family boundaries. Like, yeah.

And by the way, it was like really bad that Liam wasn't there in Vegas because, like, we all bonded in Vegas and things got like really close. And there was like flirty vibes back and forth to one another. And Kendall was like, she was giving flirty vibes to him.

And they're like, yes, Kendall, yes. She was loving it. She was loving it so much, Kendall. She was loving the attention. He'd be like, oh, my God, let me eat your Poussay. And she'd be like, oh, my God, no. But like, you know, like in a flirty way. And then we were like, yeah, she's not exaggerating.

So Kendall's like, wait a minute. From talking to the girls, I'm sensing that there might be some energy between Ariana and Charlie. I love how quick she is. Then we go to Charlie's apartment and Charlie and shy are facetiming and talking about packing. And Charlie's like, you seem exhausted, shy. What did you end up getting into last night? He's like, oh, I just went to the Lower East Side. I was like, what is this neighborhood?

I never even heard of it. Lower East Side? Like, what? There's a Lower East Side? Is there a lower West Side, too? It doesn't make any sense. Yeah, well, I've been busy. Last night, Ariana and like a few of her, like, girlfriends came over to like Sesh.

You know how it goes. I mean, clutch your pearls, bro. Are you ready to clutch your pearls? He's like, why did you hook up with the Ariana? He's like, yeah, we only fucked for like a second. But I mean, come on, I don't kiss and tell, bro. You know, you know, I don't. You know, I don't kiss and tell.

Stop asking me. She just comes over in the middle of the night. What do you think is going to happen? You're not going to hear it for me, though. I'm not going to say it. Yeah, I'm not going to say it. It's kind of such an answer. It's so ridiculous.

And then the producer's asking me. He's like, yeah, nothing too interesting happened. So Shia goes, sounds like you had an interesting night, bro. He's like, yeah. No, it was like, it wasn't like, it wasn't like that event. but like she definitely did come over drunk at 1 a.m. And I wonder like what Liam would feel about that. And shy's like, this is too complicated.

Like, come on, bro. Girl comes over drunk at 1 a.m. and she has a guy that she's dating. I mean, bro, it's crazy. Yeah, I mean, that's just how it is, bro. He had another angle of interesting shit that could go down this weekend. So, you know, right now. I like the, they're all like teasing up their trip.

Like, who knows what could happen on the next gen New York City trip coming next week on Bravo. Like it's okay, guys, we're invested. What if Hudson comes? What if Hudson comes, the ongoing story of the season? What if Hudson's there? Yeah. So Charlie's like, yeah, well, I'm not going to be beholden to anybody else, but if she wants to respect her thing with Liam, that's her decision. I owe him nothing. You know, the question is whether you tolerate it or not. It's clear. There's an argument that if there was a girl I was talking to you, I'd be like, what the fuck are you doing going over to someone's house late night drunk, but she came over as a friend.

And we just hung out with her and her two friends. So I want to be super clear about that, that even though nothing happened and she came over with friends, I'm going to make it sound like she came over with no friends. And that something did happen, but nothing did happen. I'm like, could you get your stories straight? You're changing it like mid-seeing. You're getting shy who's like the most easily manipulated person here on the planet, probably, to be like, oh, yeah, fuck her.

Just kidding. I wouldn't tell even if I did it. I mean, I'm not going to talk about kissing and telling, which I definitely did probably not do so just don't think that i'm talking about getting because i'm really not saying i'm with ariana even though we're together i'd just rather keep it a secret okay you got that shy okay don't say anything to anybody got it yeah um so shy's like uh dude would you actually do that though would you hook up with her and he's like um would i have fucked you here well why wouldn't i i mean what's the downside and shy goes um i don't know like hudson

the guy's going to be bankrolling your bar with Omar. He's like, oh, yeah, I don't know. It's nuanced. It's nuanced. Yeah. It's not that nuanced. So Charlie says that Hudson's just not doing anything to try to get Oriana back. So, sorry.

Like, try to get her back then if you want her. Like, don't just, like, bitch from Atlanta while your Lambo's on fire. Loser. Long through short, I believe Hudson might be kind of, like, fake with me, just in the hopes that he can sort of, like, recruit. me away from like trying to fuck aryana which is hilarious because hudson thinks he's being so sneaky and like charlie's are just sniffed it out he's like i don't care i'll just get his money yeah pretty much so he's like uh-huh frankly whether she owes her ex-boyfriend respect by not

fucking me is also her decision you know so i don't know anybody anything point is i'm fucking ariana but i'm not saying that except that it's not really happening and i don't want anybody i think that it's happening just because i'm saying that it's not happening which i definitely said spread it tell your friends tell you friends i love this show i do love this show i actually like love this show i think it's so good you're bored yeah i'm getting i love it i love it i think it's a hard i like it for the most part i think it's like yeah all right i'm totally involved i'm totally invested i i think there is there is like a way that they all talk with each other and with the audience that is um it's so unaffected it's something that's so entertaining to me and i think it's i'm

going to just sort of make my own boomer assessment which is that these are people who are um they grew up in social media making videos talking directly to an audience on the other side of the camera and now that they actually i should say the other side of the phone and now that they actually are on camera they're just very much at ease just sort of saying what they just saying things in the confessional saying things with other in a way that's like very entertaining and kind of um it's i'm having a hard time articulating what it is about the way that they communicate and the way they sort of like interact with each other but you feel like you're just sort of like hanging out with a bunch of friends in a way that i think that intimacy that like that false intimacy that comes from social

media sort of this like it's like an extension of that i don't know i've been drinking coffee but i just really like the show a lot so you mean from the sense of like the false and sense of intimacy that comes from social media, do you find to be, you find them to be like giving that social media vibe, which you find genuine? The parasycial, there's like, there's a parasycial vibe on social media

when people like do their stories, like, hey guys, get ready with me in the morning. Like, that's inherently very parasocial. Like, you're inviting people into, like, your bathroom while you get dressed in the morning. And that's inherently very intimate, right? But it's so, it's so standard now that we don't blink at it. It's just like, that's how it is.

And there's like an ease with which people on social media talk to their camera and say, hey, I'm doing this. I'm like chopping carrots. I mean, I do it. Everyone who's like making little, making quote unquote content is used to that. And it's like there's some reality shows that are very, that like try really hard to create these very funny moments. I can think of like Big Brother, for example.

Big Brother, whenever people are in the confessional and how. having to narrate how they feel or what's happening. It's very sing-songy. It's very much like, I'm thinking, I have to win this competition. Because if I don't win this competition, I could be out. And I'm not ready to be out. Like, people talk like that. Whereas on this show, I think there's people are so at ease with just, like,

communicating directly from what's in their head to a camera, that there's just a vibe that's very accessible. I don't know. Like, I was just trying to think about why this show sort of. seems so entertaining to me. And that's the best I could come up with. Well, I get you. I think it's just a bunch of dumb-dums. It's usually pretty fun, but they are really falling into the like, uh-oh, what if Hudson comes to Friendsgiving? Hey, guys, Hudson's going to show up and have a scene at Thanksgiving. Oh, my gosh, what if Hudson shows up? Is Hudson going to

show up? And then his Lambo starts on fire. So that one's asked. They're like bringing Kendall to lunch to be like, oh, you know, this Liam should be upset because here's what's going on with, I mean, that part all seems so, you know, staged and stulted to me. Like, they're really trying on that. But I do see what you're saying as far as their confessionals and being so comfortable there. And I guess it is that being comfortable with social media, you know? That's my theory. I mean, obviously, people who are not Gen Z are also comfortable on social media. But I just feel like there's just like an ease with which they communicate. And I think the show is also really good at highlighting kind of funny little observations that that they make

with each other in a group setting that it's like very endearing and likable. So yeah, I love my next-gen New York City. I love it. Well, good news. It'll be, it's going to keep on coming back. And next week, we go on their group trip, which looks pretty funny. So we'll talk to you next week for group trip, everybody. See you later. Thanks for being here with us.
