  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with I Our Radio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: We are back on the Almost Famous podcast with another
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: recap with the Real Housewives of Rhode Island Lauren. Things
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: are starting to go off the rails literally and figuratively
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: this week. And I don't know about you, but the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: end of this episode is giving me whiplash. I actually
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: think maybe the first like four episodes have given me
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: a little whiplash.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: I have trying to keep up, and I think I'm
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: keeping up.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: It comes out of nowhere, right, You're like, wait, I
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: don't even know what we're fighting about, because it's like that,
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: This episode starts out like very different than most. It's
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: very The first word that's coming to my mind is
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: like wholesome.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: It's nice.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: It's they're enjoying each other's time. They're breaking down things
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: that have happened in the past. Let's start with the beginning.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Joellen really isn't a part of this episode. And I
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: think we're only shown that she's packing for our work
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: trip because is the show is trying to set the
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: stage that she will not be a part of these
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: activities this week.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm kind of surprised they were like, oh, yeah,
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: we'll film without Joelle and like the realter or maybe
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: it'll give us an opportunity to talk about some of
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: the other girls, and we need to get to the
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: bottom of why Liz was so mad at Kelsey last
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: week anyway, So I don't even know. Do you feel
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: like we got clarity on that based on what we saw?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, I actually think it was a very normal
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: conversation where Liz was like, hey, I overreacted. I'm embarrassed
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: how I reacted to you and Kelsey, maybe your choice
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of wording was like I don't know, we'd call it
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: triggering or like it sets something off inside of her.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: But she also admitted over drinking. She's bummed with herself
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: because the night was so good. It was pretty much
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: everything we said last week.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Yep mm hmm. It was really nice to see because
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: usually women, especially they'll be like, I wasn't drunk. I wasn't,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: but was like, no, I was having a good time
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: and that was all alcohol basically, and I love to
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: see the accountability here. And then Kelsey gets into it,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: kind of explaining like Dino is a triggering topic because
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: I guess Kelsey hooked up with Dino in the past,
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: and Dino became a little obsessed, a little stockery, you
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: weird on her, Hu a little weird on her. And
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: it kind of all makes sense now because we've all
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: not we all most of the ladies have hooked up
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: with someone and you've gotten like the crazy ick from them,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: and you're like, I don't want to look at you,
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: I don't want to hear from you, and you keep
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: popping up in the fact that you're even in Liza's
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: life freaks me out. So her trying to stir up
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: sh is just basically another way to get Dino out
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: of her life and out of Liz's life.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: It all makes sense, yeah, I mean.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: And the weird part about this, and something that was
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: illuminated once again to me, it was just how close
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: this group is. She can't leave or separate from Dino.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: In fact, she said, even after they hooked up things
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: are done, he would show up at the same place
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: as she would, and he was like controlling in the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: sense of he didn't want her talking to anybody else.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: He was kind of hovering around. It just feels like
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: a very odd scenario, and obviously Liz was pointing to
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: that during the last episode. I still don't have clarity
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: on why it was such a hot topic for Kelsey,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: other than the fact that she's pretty much saying, Hey,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: that guy, like, I don't want to even be around him,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Like he's so weird to me that I don't want
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to be around him. The I guess from my perspective,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and nobody, I mean, most Housewives fans would not care
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: about this. I'm sure I was shocked at one how
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: nice their boat was and two how much stuff she
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: has in that boat.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm also shocked that those two ladies are the
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: only ones helping clean that thing out. Liz does seem
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: to be one of those housewives that like fits the
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: ultimate housewife like archetype, being extremely rich, like we can
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: tell by her house and her boat and her bags
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: and everything. So they're selling the boat why because he's.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Not doing him dumb He's dumb, all right?
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: So no, Moredina, we don't. We don't have any used
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Pardino anymore because her husband will be home with her.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: The cannabis, queen cannabis, the cannabis industry must be doing
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: well in Rhode Island. In fact, do you know, Lauren,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I mean you're a lot close to are we watching
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: this show? I mean, I think we've already commented. The
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: money side of this is actually very fun to watch.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Not everybody is super wealthy. Yeah, you don't have you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: it's a relatable in a lot of ways. But is
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: this mostly old or new money?
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: It appears to be new money. I don't think there's
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: any old money besides Kelsey's boyfriend who has old money.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Nothing, nothing's like been passed down from generation to generation.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: No, because you think about Rula, she makes her own money.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Brian's a pediatrist, and then Joe Allen like, if you
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: go down the list, they're all like, you know, they're
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: something they're doing well. But it's new for sure.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: We get our first big scene of the episode with
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the girl's beach day and Ashley chooses the beach that
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: she loves to bring her boys to.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like, I don't why is this the beach
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: for filming? I know there's only a couple beaches that
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: will allow filming, so as she's like, hey, I got
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: a great one. It's it's so tiny and there's absolutely
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: no good water or anything. That's why she likes it,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: because the boys won't drown in it. Yeah, it's so,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: it's so funny. It's so Ashley not to be like
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: embarrassed by like that. And then she shows up like
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: is she in a bathing suit? Then? Yeah, I guess
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: she shows.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Up saying that everybody looked like Barbie and she looks
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: like a mom who like kind of tried today. Zaccurate, Lauren,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Is you say Ashley isn't embarrassed by this?
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: She's never embarrassed period?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Is that because she is aloof to the like concept
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: She's just like, no, this is a good beach or
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: she's so I no, I'm going to own this. This
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: is what I do with my boys, and if you
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: all want to come with me, great, Like what is
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: her mindset?
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: I think she thinks it's a good beach. I think
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: she's like, well, it's quiet, we'll be able to hear
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: each other. No one's gonna drown. I it's close to
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: our homes. Like, I think she's literally thinking of the
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: good things and doesn't think of how anyone else could
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: possibly see this beach.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I love that one of the I forget which lady
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: said it, but she's like, I have a beach club
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: that we can go to. They'll carry my bags in
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: my chairs and set us up, And in my mind,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I'm like, no, I want to see this. I want
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: to see you all go to a beach that I
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: could go to. I want to see you sit down
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: there they're eating pizza chips. This becomes a topic of conversation.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I think it's a brilliant idea.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: You like pizza chips.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I've never had one. I don't know how it tastes,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: but when it comes to a beach snack, it makes sense.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: You eliminate the cheese and so you don't have to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: keep it cool or you don't have to like figure
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: out the whole contaminates on it, and it's it's filling.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Kids probably love it.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Is this your first time hearing of it? Oh?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, first time?
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, so my first time hearing of it too.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: And it's called According to Ashley, pizza chips are all
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: are also called party pizza in Rhode Island, where when
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: you're having a party it's already cold and there's no cheese,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: so you don't it's always gonna be fresh. Yeah, but
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: at the same time that it's always cold. Ashley obviously
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: is not a fan. She says she doesn't like pizza
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: without cheese, so she gets the concept. But these things
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: are like you go to the grocery store in any
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Rhode Island grocery store and they have a party pizza,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: which is simply a cold, saucy piece of bread. That's
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: just a thing, right, That's all it is. Yeah.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm I've never heard of it. I'm
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: glad we got exposed to it. Yeah, this episode really
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: kicks off with these really relatable moments and their funny moments.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: She's beach, the pizza, chips, those things, and then Rosie
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: goes in to say, hey, let's do something even like
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: more down to Earth, which is jump on this like
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: train ride that we pedal. And I am immediately excited
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: because one, I know, Ashley riding a bike for six
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: miles is not something that she's accustomed to.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: And I love the idea of it. Love the idea
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: of all.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Of these ladies, you know, diving in to get a
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: little workout in.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well Corn and Rosie, it's just so they don't
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: kill each other because they're going to release some door fence. Yeah,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, at the end of the bike ride is
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: really where all the drama HAPs Actually it happens on
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: the cycle with Rosie and Liz when they're talking about
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Ashley kind of and I'm like, who could possibly talk
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: about Ashley? Did you see that?
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: I did see it. I mean, I don't even know.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Ashley explained it.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Well, she know she's shyer, and so she's gonna come
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: off stand up.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I think everybody has this.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Idea of Ashley being you know, she's a big deal, right,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: She's beautiful, she's confident, she doesn't get embarrassed. They've seen
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: her on TV. They think she has this kind of
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: like larger than life personality, And when you spend time
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: with Ashley, she is larger than life in so many ways.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: But her personality doesn't need to take over a room.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: And she is probably a little more standoffish and shy
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: out of no other reason other than her own like
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: desire to get to know the situation before she steps
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: into it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and if you see, like the history she's with
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: the ladies, she's not going to jump in and just
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: speak her mind because you see how much they flip
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: a switch.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: So yeah, and she says that she is scared of
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Liz and I Rosie does say to Liz like, Oh,
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: it's because you're successful and beautiful and blah blah blah blah.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: But it's really because she's kind of just scary, Like
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: she is very dominating and she has strong opinions, and
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: that's kind of why I she's just like playing it safe.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: But then also I think they flashed back to the
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: fourth of July party where actually hugged her and then
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: looked away. But she's like, what do you say? Like,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: what's your next line? You say, Hi, I'm Ashley, blah
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: blah blah. What is your next line at a party? Like,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: so you live close to here? I guess, Like, I
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: don't know.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: I think it is.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: It's one of the things that Ashley is always commented
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: on with me. And I think it is because she
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: doesn't like the eye contact. She you know, I just
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: doesn't and it's not it's rude, and it's not because
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: she is dismissive or pushing away. But all these women
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: have such like this. I mean, even when they're fighting,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: they're staring each other in the eyes. That is not
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I guess. I don't know many people who when they're
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: arguing with me where they're like able to look me
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: dead in the eyes and make an argument. It's usually
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: like a very like nervous time man. Totally, yeah, it's
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: not She's not cold. I really didn't take it as
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: them talking negatively about Ashley because it felt like they're
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: trying to get to understand, like to understand her, and
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: as a result, it's coming off the way it is.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Ashley does, though, in this scene, kind of start to
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: engage a little bit. She's confused that this whole thing
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: because she says that Brian isn't very hot, like she
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: doesn't understand what's happening here.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes, we're at the beach again.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: We're at the beach.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: She's like, during this whole thing, Ashley feels like she
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: is entering in more than she is commentating on.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, And I was like, I'm so glad
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: you said that, because the audience is thinking, how is
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: this man getting two women and he's not even that cute?
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: So I thought I thought that was funny. She also
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: she spoke for the audience and then I think another
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: favorite moment of Ashley's is when they go to Alicia's house. Actually,
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: wait hold on, After the beach we go to Joellen's
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: house really quickly for like a little blurb to show
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: that her sister. Joellen's sister is like taking over her
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: role because she used to hook up with her husband,
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: which is very bizarre. And then she makes like a
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: comment being like she wanted his sperm or something, And
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: I'm just thinking, from like a sister standpoint, how weird
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: it is to even consider taking your brother in law's
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: sperm for your own.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: You know, yeah, the kids would look very much alike,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: But then at the same time, I always think of
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: this in The Patriot, you know, in The Patriot, when
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: mel Gibson ends up with his sister in law because
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: his wife died. I'm like, but the closest person you
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: could ever get if you don't have your wife is
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: your wife's sister, So it would make sense, you know.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I mean I actually think historically too, if you throw
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: it back to like two thousand years ago, this is
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: not an uncommon concept. Is hey, you take care of
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the person. If I've lost my the closest person kind
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: of brings them in. My only question here for you, Lauren,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: is that's you know, the whole thing with the sister
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: being at Joelan's house, helping take care of the family
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: while she was gone. You know, we've obviously had this
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: kind of language used in the season before, when it
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: comes to Liz and her husband and Dino coming into
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: help take care of his wife. Is this at all
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: foreshadowing something to happen like with Joelle and her sister
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: and the husband.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: I don't think that would ever happen. I think it's
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: kind of like a fun, playful thing. But then I
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: deep in Joellen's sister, I don't remember her name her mind.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: I think she would I think she would say yes,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: and I think she would marry Joeln's husband. But I
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: don't think it's actually going to happen, and Joellen would
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: obviously never allow it. But I think the sister kind
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: of has a crush and I think she has something
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: to prove since Joell and did end up swooping in
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: and stealing him in high school, you know, so she
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: has something to prove. And I don't think she's married
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: or has kids, so it.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Doesn't sound like it. Yeah, I think they actually mentioned that.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: It don't well, it is something to watch. Is that
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: going to be a foreshadowing of the future. Is the
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: sister going to engage Jin is the sister's name. Is
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Jin going to engage in the family deeper than she
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: already is one of my favorite moments of this whole episode,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: before we obviously get to the kind of climax of
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: the episode where everybody's arguing with each other and it
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: gets super funky. Is Alicia's house. I think it's such
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: a fun part of the show.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: It's the best. Just I love the mom and the
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: ant being so open and honest about their struggles in
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: their marriage. Seems like everyone's been cheated on affairs, and
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Rula is getting some Rula and Alicia are both getting
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: advice from these older women, and it feels like very
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: comforting to me. It reminds me of going to like
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: my grandma's house and and like having all these women
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: like giving you relationship advice when you're like sixteen because
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: they know so much better. And then there's a moment
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: where Alicia's mom says to Real like, I just want
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: you to hurt him. I want you to find a
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: way to hurt him, and Ashley says she beat her fans,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: which is very on brand rashly, but it was so
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: funny because yes, Reula needs to get back at him.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it kind of this whole scene feels honestly,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I think the real housewise what I'm watching is a
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: lot of these scenes feel genuine, even the arguments that
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: does not feel set up in stage. They're allowing conversations
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: to exist to get to a place where everybody feels
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: very comfortable. This feels like a very comfortable conversation. It's
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: also how I imagine never been a part of these
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: what it's like when a bunch of women get together
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: of all different age groups to just chat for the day.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: It's amazing. It looked so fun. I wish I was there.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Everyone was giving wars of wisdom. I think even Ashley
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: was like, Alicia, you've got to get your name out
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: of the house. It's like so important and ever it's
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: like real talk. It's not like fluff, And that's what
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: I really liked about it.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Let's pause here to talk about Ashley again for a second.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Got Lauren is actually going to bring back some looks.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: One is the pigtails.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Two.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: She rocks a backwards hat at the end of this
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: episode and kind of like tucks her hair into it.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: That's not something you see extremely often. I think with women,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: it's do you see these becoming trends?
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: The backwards hat's iconic. She looked amazing, so sexy.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: I loved it.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: I wore that all the time. I think she copied me.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: But the pigtails, I hope we never see again.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Why is that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: It's just like, I mean, she looks really good with
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: every hairstyle, but like, we can do better than that.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: We can. Yeah, did she decide that?
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she does that sometimes and it's not the best choice.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: The backwards hat's great though, Like don't you love a
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: woman in a backwards hat?
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, she looked amazing.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: That's why I was like, I could see this like
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: being rocked more by like everybody if they're going on
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: the beach or they're out with their kids. You know,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: it keeps the kids from pulling the hair. It's like
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: it's a cool look. I thought she looked great.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: I think she will influence children with her pigtails though.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: I think we'll see a lot more sixth graders going
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: to school with pigtails.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Why does she do it?
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: I don't she thinks it's cute. I think it like
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: makes her cheekbones look really nice to have it pulled
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: back like that. But okay, you know she obviously didn't
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: have a hair girl that day.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: No, she didn't call up the sister before and listen, Well,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: this is a incredible scene.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: It's funny.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I love when the housewife so far has brought have
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: brought in the moms and the grandmas of some of
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: these women to just because they're not early different. You
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: can see how the women became who they are.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: I sense a spin off. I think that would be amazing.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: It would be so good. We'll go back to Ashley.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Ashley brings Rosie to the farm day. This feels like
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: the set up at least. What I'm getting from this
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: is we're trying to figure out more about Rosie.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Is she wanting to be a mom?
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: What does her future look like? What is her future
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: with her you know fiance.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Are they engaged Rosie?
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're married. They've been there for one year.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, okay, her husband.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Look like we are really getting and I think it's
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: probably because the age.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Hayden and Dawson are making quite a few appearances during
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: this show and standing out during them. We have them
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: at the park last week with Joellen where it's hot outside,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: and Dawson is just upset because it's hot.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: We see him at the farm.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Rosie has been a close friend of Ashley's for a
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: while now and knows her children. Well, well, yeah, do
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: you think Ashley is trying to convince her, hey, kids
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: are great or do you think she's kind of like, hey,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: take it or leave it?
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I think at this point, I know Hayden was
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: being he had a really rough couple of months and
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: you can see here he's like, you know, pulling on
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: her earring and like he's being very fussy that phase.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know if she was pushing kids on anyone,
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: but like Dawson was beyond that fussy phase. So like
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: she knows it's worth it, Like once you get over
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: that hump, Like she will convince anyone to have kids now.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Obviously it's better than the ups, are better than the downs. Yeah,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: and so yes, she would love for Rosie to have kids,
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: because you know, we hear as women like our entire lives,
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: like you may not want them now, but once you
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: turn forty or something, you're gonna wish you had them
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: and you tried. So like she's definitely convincing her, but
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know if seeing like their behavior. Like I know,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Rosie goes over to her house all the time and
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: we'll see the kids have meltdowns and she leaves and
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: she goes, I'm so glad I can leave this house.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she kind of says they're in the episode even.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, So so I don't know how. I think
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: she'll probably have one, but I don't know.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know, it's funny because Ashley is walking
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: here through motherhood and talking through her and yeah, Hayden's
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: pulling on the ear rings. Yeah, and it's kind of
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: been this Ashley is carrying this young mom role, yeah,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: throughout this season so far, where we're getting a highlight
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: of what it's like for her to be a mom,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: the difficulties of it. What I want to see more of, though,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: because I know it exists, is the upsides to it
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: that Ashley has.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: You know, she's kind of upset that they're not really
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: showing a lot of the upsides and it's more about
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: like the woes of it all.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the story right now. Is it feels like
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: she's just like this, that she's like so far in
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: it that it's hard to find any space to breathe.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: But I know that Ashley loves being a mom and
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: I want to see that side as well.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: I know it's not as juicy to see that side really,
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: but it exists. It's totally. I mean, I'm I talked
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: to her nine percent of the day and like it's
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: always like can you believe how cute this is? Can
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: you believe? Can you believe? This is so good? So good?
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: It's rarely negative, And that was that last summer was
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: a moment that was very difficult. But now like there's
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: zero complaints really, so I do wish they would show.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: Maybe they will show. I don't know.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I hope they do, because Ashley, as an advocate for
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: people to have kids, also needs to show why she's
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: an advocate for people to have kids.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: So true, I know, I know she's concerned.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Let's flash to the rail explorers.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: The as we mention the ladies are going to go
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: on this rail line, it looks like a lot of fun,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: looks like a really cool concept and great idea. It
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: is brilliant to get people to work out so that
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: they don't kill each other. It doesn't work, as we
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: will get.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: To because the wine comes out and then you kill
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: each other all over again.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: The uh. The wild thing here is uh.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: And I'm almost upset with Ashley that she entered into
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: this conversation. Kelsey mentions that she ate the McDonald's cheeseburger
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: out of the trash, and Ashley says that's something I
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: would do. Yeah, And in my mind, I'm thinking that's disgusting.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: No, it's one hundred percent on brand.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: It's it's so weird to me. Lauren.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Ashley would eat any like something off the floor.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Like she one time I went to her house and
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: I was like, what is there to eat in here?
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: And she's like, oh, there's spaghetti. I like, this is
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: one of our hardest laughs ever. And if I explain it,
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: it's not that funny, but I laugh. We were both
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: just like puddles of peat. So funny because I was like,
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: what is there to eat in here? And she goes, Oh,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: there's spaghetti. I go, when did you make it? And
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: then she goes, it's fairly fresh, fairly fresh, and I go,
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: what the hell does that mean? And then she goes,
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: it's from Friday, and I was like, it's Thursday. Like
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: this is six day old spaghetti. She goes it's fine,
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: so like, but we laugh so hard because like it's
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: literally not fairly fresh and the slightest. But she would
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: eat out of a trash can. She's a raccoon. She
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: doesn't care.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: She doesn't care. Hunt.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: No, I just had to lunch with the buddy last week,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: and it's ingrained in my head.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I din't even say anything to him because I was so disturbed.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: We did this like dive bar, and we got burgers
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: and fries, and one of his fries dropped on the
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: ground of this dive bar and he just like picked
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: he took his time to pick it up and put
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: it back in his mouth, and I was like, that's disgusting, the.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Opposite of what I would do.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would not.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: No, it's a lot. So this kind of gave me
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: a stomach like bug for them.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: Do you know how she cuts up food for her kids.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: She'll like, say she's eating, like cutting up like a
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: carrot or something. She'll bite it all into little chunks
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: in her mouth and spit it onto their plate.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Like a baby bird, like a baby bird.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: And she'll make salads that way. She's breaking up croutons.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: He'll bite it and then spit it in to the
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: bowl for a human adult like so weird. So she's
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: not clean by any means. So yeah, that's where her
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: and Kelsey really bond because she's like, ah, something real
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: because Kelsey's almost like too perfect to get along with. Yeah,
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: like everything is very tailored, you know. She says like
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: she's kind of more posh than Ashley. So when she
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: heard that she ate out of the trash can, she's like,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: this is now my friend.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this we can relate on something one new. It's
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: McDonald's too, you ate it out of the trash can.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: We now see eye to eye and life. Yeah, the
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: wild move here too, and maybe this is a real
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Housewives thing. You can maybe explain it to me. We're
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: getting a look inside these like beautiful people in a
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: way that I love when it comes to television. I
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: don't want to just see the glitz and glamour. I
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: want to see the real life. I want to see
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: why they are the way they are. And we start
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: talking about Rosie and how she left work, and there's
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: theories on if she left or she got fired. That's
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: not important here, but she talks about suffering from colitis
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: and Ashley says in the back seat she was bleeding
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: from her butthole, and I'm like, this is why this
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: is amazing, because like you would never watch this show
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: and expect these beautiful people to be talking about eating
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: burgers out of trash cans and bleeding from their buttholes.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: I'm crying.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: I find it fantastic.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I love it. This whole scene, Like, yeah,
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: colitis in general is obviously awful, but it is like,
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: you know, it's poop talk, and these ladies are having
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: poop talk. But Ashley says she's bleeding from her butthole
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: because one time when time Ashley had food poisoning and
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: she was going to the bathroom like all day, all day,
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: all day, and then she comes into some room I'm
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: with my mom and she goes, well, I'm bleeding from
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: my butthole and we laugh for like what do you mean?
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: And then like to find out she actually just had
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: her perer. She wasn't actually blaeing from her butthole. So
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: that's why that term, like that phrase is like very
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: prominent in the ike and any family buttole.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: I love it. Yeah, I want to see more of that.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I want to see more of the hidden camera where
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: these women get comfortable and they start talking about the
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: things that all humans deal with, but so few talk about. Yeah,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: and I think it is amazing.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: Everyone's loving this season. I really they're really not hiding
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: behind anything.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: There's no height and I hope it stays that way.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Kelsey opens up a bottle of wine or a beer
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: with her teeth. Incredible party trick. I think it is
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: one that should be shown off more and more, and
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: also very impressive. The excursion is what it is. They
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: ride on a train rail for six miles. It's beautiful.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: I would want to do it myself if I'm ever
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: in the area. I think it's great. But this is
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: where we get into the heart of the episode.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Lauren U.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: All the women sit around, they start drinking wine. Everything
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: that day, we should mention feels very good in a
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: lot of ways, like very.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: There's no drama, there's no poking at each other. It
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: feels like they're experiencing some fun things together. But we
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: sit down afterwards and things start to happen.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: I guess it all stems because Rosie asked Liz, how
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: do you feel about Ashley? Yeah, and then Liz was like,
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: I don't really know her. Essentially, she doesn't give me
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: the time of day. She's scared of me. And then
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Rosie looks at Alisha basically and said, right, Liz is scary, Alicia,
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: you said this, And then Alisha loses her mind, being like,
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: don't put word to my mouth down and I don't
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: loses it, And I think she loves it simply because
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: she's scared of Liz. If you really go back to
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: the heart of the issue is Lizzy's a scary person
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: and she wants to show her loyal to Liz.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, how do you feel about Rosie like
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: bringing that up? I felt like it was The intention
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: was not to cause drama because it was done in
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: front of everybody. It was a It felt like one
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: of those comments that, again that we've seen on this show,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: that you make thinking it's going to be relatable and
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: widely accepted and then it turns into something you didn't
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: intend it to turn into. I don't think she meant
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Liz being scary was was anything more than like I
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: think she thought Liz was aware of it, I guess,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: and it's like, hey, you're scary, Liz. Like Alisha's even
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: said it. And she's your friend, and Alisha got very
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: defensive and it ended up blowing up to this argument
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: where I said, again, I'm impressed that they made eye
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: contact the whole time. Alisia says that, you know, welcome
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: to Rhode Island and this isn't like how we do
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: things here.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: It kind of came out of nowhere.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: I was shocked. Even Liz was like, what the hell's
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: going on? And then I think Dolores looked at Alisha,
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: and Alisha Liz isn't mad, so you don't need to
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: act like this, like you don't need to defend yourself
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: in front of Liz and she's like, yeah, but you
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: you if you come at me like this is what
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: you're gonna get, La la la. And then I guess
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: I don't remember who asked who to go like talk privately.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: I think maybe Rosie was like, come over here and
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: talk to me. They end up patching it out. I
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: don't know how it came to a conclusion, but they
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: hugged it out within five minutes. And then they were like,
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: that's why they call her I forgot, they said, But
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: Liz was like, and that's why they call her something
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: ceci because she flip flopper Ceci or something, because she
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: gets really mad and then she makes up really quickly.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: I'm scared of Alicia now, so I'm scared of Liz
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: and Alicia. And then the end they go one of
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: my favorite parts. I loved Alicia's house, but I love one.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: I think it was Dolores or she was like, Ashle's
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: gonna need a bath and holy water after this, because
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: this is the most conflict she's ever seen in her
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: entire life.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: It kind of feels like every episode there has to
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: be this moment. We should have expected it. Yeah, it
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: kind of felt like Alicia was speaking from now was
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Rosie right or wrong? And bring it up in front
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: of everybody. I do think it was probably a misplaced
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: comment that came off incorrectly to Alicia. She was probably
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: at some level or has felt based on the conversation
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: leading up to it and the days before where everybody's like, hey, Alicia,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: you got to figure your stuff out, Like your husband
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: is cutting you off. It might feel like she could
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: feel like she's being attacked in some way exactly, and
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: it's kind of held in and this was her moment
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: to say, no, stop this.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: I think that's what I felt.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: So smart, that is exactly what happened, because if you
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: notice over the whole episode, I think even when they're
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: role playing, they make from Alicia heart not knowing the
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: word intensive for all intensive purposes or some word like that,
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: and they make her feel stupid. And the whole time
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: it's like, you're so stupid, you're on the house, you're
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: not married. This whole episode was tearing her down. She
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: was like, I gotta fight back somehow, and Rosie's an
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: easy target.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, even if I mean, I know I do this
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: in my own life, like I'm sensitive if I get
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: the sense that over time somebody is continuing to pick
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: and prod even if they don't mean it that way,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I can take it that way, hold it in, and
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: then I do explode when the moment feels like I
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: can't take it any longer, I do do that. And
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: so I just felt like that's what was happening.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: And also to be very misplaced too, like yeah, if
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: one of your co workers is doing it and you
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: come home, you'll let loose on your family and you're like,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, You're just an easy target right now. And
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: I think that's probably what happened.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Rul this scene is kind of letting loose a
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: little bit. We get to see more and more of
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Rula over this episode, and I appreciate that because she
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: was kind of hidden for a while, and I do
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: think her story is interesting. We don't know a lot
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: about it yet, but I do find her story very
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: interesting when it comes to, you know, her past relationships,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: her current relationship, her relationship with her family. Who she
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: is as a friend to these women, because you know,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: she was communicated to us as a boss, and we
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: don't really see her leadership during this season yet, but
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I think we're getting to see more and more about
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: who she is now. Lauren during this scene, we are
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: one of the I think storylines that will continue throughout
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: the season. We're going to talk about it here and
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: just to bid in a little more detail on some
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: things that have come out since the airing of these episodes,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: is the Brian situation. Who Brian is, what he's up
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: to behind the scenes, who he is as a person. Obviously,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: we see Ashley comment that he isn't somebody that she
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: He is, somebody that she's kind of surprised, has a
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: mistress and a good looking wife because he's not that
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: attractive himself. But we Alicia starts to comment on Brian
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and Alicia give us a little insight here, a
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: little a little tea that Brian's first wife was Alicia's
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Spanish teacher, and then Brian cheated on her with Rula.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: So it's kind of the case of you you lose
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: him as you got him or got him, and you
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: lose on whatever the term is. So it seems like
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Brian is a chronic cheater. And then what's also come
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: out while these episodes are airing is Brian's current mistress,
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: last summer mistress, posted on her Instagram allegedly that he's
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: that she's the the miss she's allegedly still Brian's mistress,
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: but that she's posting pictures in Rula's backyard and kind
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: of rubbing it in everyone's faces, and she is apparently
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: and allegedly loving all this attention.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's owning this like mistress, is what we're hearing.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: And if it is true that she's posting from the backyard,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: she's not trying to hide this and it doesn't really
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: sound like to me from watching it. My opinion is
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: that he's not really attempting to hide this either, right,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: He's just trying not to get caught, but like not
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: get caught doing it, just not take ownership for it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, even in the last end of the episode
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: where he was being pressured to admit that it was over,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: he couldn't do it.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: And so he just doesn't want.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: To have it come to the surface. But he's not
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: being very good about hiding it, especially if this alleged
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: picture from his backyard is of the mistress. It's out
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: there online right now. If you want to google and
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: find it, you can see it. The situation gets weirder
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: and weirder, and I think it is getting It is
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: sad because it doesn't seem like Rula. Some of these
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: women do seem okay with the behaviors of their husbands.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Rula really doesn't seem okay with this, and yet she's
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: put in this hard place of having to speak about
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: it over and over and over again. It's going to
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: be interesting. It's going to be very interesting to me
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: how this plays out Lauren throughout the season, Like where
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: does this end?
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: And does it end? We see the next.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Episode the ladies have a boat Day. Kelsey says something
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: to Rosie that she needs to support people, and Rosie says,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: because I didn't tag you on Instagram.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: So that's interesting. And also with Brian and Rula, I'm
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: just gonna say, like, I don't know how their marriage
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: could make it past this season. I just don't see
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: how it could happen, especially with this misterss beink so
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: open about everything. It's yucky.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: It's probably I mean, I would assume too, with the
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: airing and the popularity of this season, it'll probably become
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: more and more open, especially if she, as we're hearing,
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: isn't hating the title of mistress. And Brian doesn't want
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: to have these conversations on camera, which continues to probably
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: push Rula away from the camera. We see in the
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: next episode that he asks her to leave with him.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: He doesn't want to like talk about this in front
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: of the others or in front of any type of
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: evidence that can be put out against him at some point,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: is what it seems to me. My final thought, Lauren,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: these women have great memories because if somebody didn't tag
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: me in an Instagram post, yeah, and I felt like
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: they should have, I would be upset at the time,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: and forget about it twenty four hours later, mostly not
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: because I meant to, just because I would have forgotten
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: about it and probably forgotten why I was upset in
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: the first place. These women are really good at remembering
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: why they're upset and who they're upset with.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: It's a blessing and a curse to be a woman
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: and remember everyone that's supposed to tag you, but we remember.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: I know, I know she probably is looking at Rosie
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: like being like, you knew my handle, I didn't you
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: say something? So, But I think Act week looks great.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: Another juicy episode, another fight with Rosie. Poor Rosie. I
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: hope she's doing okay, because anyway.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Would you've expected this you knew her before the season, Lauren,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: would you have expected this character out of her?
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm biased here, but I just
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: don't think she's being that dramatic. I don't think she's
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: being that polarizing. I think the women are just like
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: I think they're just using her as a scapegoat to
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: argue about something. I don't know. Maybe because they're not
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: as close with her, they can find it easier to
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: argue with her. But I don't think she's that problematic.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Is there any world here when it comes to the Housewives,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm asking that she's replaceable in a
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: lot of ways as a character, and so the Housewives
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: is okay with her kind of taking the brunt of
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: the drama for a season or two.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't say she's replaceable. I think
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: she brings a lot of the two groups together because
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: there's an obvious like two groups forming, So I think
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: she kind of is the bridge with the group. So
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: I think she's kind of very valuable there. I wouldn't
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: say she was like a classic housewife though, Like she
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: was a reporter and she's just kind of a good
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: dramatic girl, you know, but she's not like the classic
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: housewife archetype.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: I will not say Rosie is replaceable though.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Good well, I'm glad stand up.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: For you're testing my loyalty as a woman.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just think so many of these ladies
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: are huge characters, and it feels like most shows I
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: watch have the one person that's in a sense the
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: scapegoat for the drama. Yeah, and then at some point
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: they're like, if she gets so mad at being a
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: part of.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: This show that she leaves.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: That's okay because she isn't the Liz and she's not
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: the this like, yeah, yeah, she can get so mad
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: at us, and we're okay testing those waters.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: I also think Rosie isn't afraid to stand up for herself,
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: so it's not like they would like they would be
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: in a fight with Ashley, who would be like, yeah, okaying,
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: you're so ry good. But Rosie will come back, and
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: so that's why they can kind of attack her more.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. That does Okay.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll be back next week breaking down another episode
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: of the Real Housewives of Rhode Island lorn Any final
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: thoughts on this episode are so far in.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: The season, I mean, I don't know if this happens,
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: but I would love to see Brian's mistress come into play.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: I would like to see her and try and defend
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: herself because her advertising this all over the state and
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: now country is wild. And I know she showed up
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: to an event where all the housewives were a couple
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: months back, and she had the balls to do that,
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: so I guess I just want to see more from that.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: I do feel bad for Roula that the most dramatic
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: juicy thing is like her life falling apart, but I'd
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: like to see more of that. And next week it
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: looks like a man is her on a boat and
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: that looks kind of interesting.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: As there's so much look forward to, Lauren and I
• 40:03
