  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: We are back on the Almost Famous podcast with another
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: recap of the Real Housewives of Road Island.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: The best time of the day.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Why do I get excited to break this down? I
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: mean I get excited about a lot of things on
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: this show. I do love doing it, and I love
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: talking to your sister, Lauren. She is one of my
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: favorite humans that ever exists in the world. However, there
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: is a different excitement for me when I get to
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: break down this show for some reason or another.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Well, it's different for you. You've never watched it before.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: And yeah, the episodes get better and better every week,
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: and I was very pleased with this week's episode.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: And I like Ashley would be in my top five
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: women that I like, feel a protection for and I
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: love for in this world. So we've spent ten years together.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: So when I watch this, I don't necessarily have the
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes because it wasn't like she was calling
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: me confiding in me. She was talking to you and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: her husband. So I'm like blindly as a fan and
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a friend, and some of them like, Okay, I know
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: she's awesome. I'm so nervous right now. I know it's
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: like a and.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I want the girls to see and the viewers to
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: see that, like there's more to her than what she's
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: giving right now. Yeah, because you can sense her nerves
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: and a lot of these interactions. So I feel I
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: feel like, come on, Ashley, come on, say more. But
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: I know she's so nervous, and it's just because she's
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: so sweet and she's scared to get yelled at. So
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: that's also I feel the protection too.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, these women could make her, I mean if I
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: don't want to see it. Yeah, but there's a side
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of me that's like if something turns and they go
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: after Ashley, I'll be so mad at all those women.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: And I also will find it very entertained because they
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: could crush her.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I know there's no reason to crush her a.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Thought, but she doesn't have it, like you're right, like
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it won't happen because she's not gonna put herself in
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that position. But sometimes these women are yelling at people
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: for the stupidest stuff already, so.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: True, so true. We don't even know what they could
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: yell at her for. It's like buying the wrong brand
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: of cereal or something.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: You know, bringing a cheap bottle of wine. Ps. Yes,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: a little note as we get started, Ashley does go
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: on a cruise this episode, so she's there, but she's
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: not there the whole time. And because of the drama
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: about Rula and Brian the Mistress and Joel and uh,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: there's just a lot of drama that goes on. So
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: we don't see Ashley a ton, but we see her
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit. I do want to mention it's gonna
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: be later on the episode, I noticed that Rosie is
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: bringing better bottles of liquor to the parties. Now I
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: think she brought some move move to uh the like
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: get together at the restaurant. And I was like, that's hilarious.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah. She's like, I'm not mistake making that mistake again.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: No way.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: The episode starts with Rosie's gay friend Anthony, invites her
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: to a surprise birthday party for his husband Jack, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Anthony mentions that she can invite her friends. Well that's
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: great because the cameras will be up and that's what
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: we want to see.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Isn't it amazing how the world are colliding here with
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: no production at all?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: No production at all?
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a quick really like quick little thing
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: and then we go right, it was like really nothing,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: just to kind of say that, like Rosie was kind
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: of nervous to get back with the girls because the
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: last time Alicia flipped and she won't have her emotional
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: support friend because Ashley's on the Lovely Royal Caribbean cruise
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: with her lovely sister.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, who we see this episode.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll get into that, cutting out the fact that
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I cut Ashley's hair.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, I have a lot that I want
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: to ask you about as one of Ashley's personal hairstylists
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and her sister. In a second, we do find out
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: that Joellen lost her grandfather was a grandfather or grandmother.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Grandfather, and it was really she almost made me tear
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: her up. The way she was tearing up. She has
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: like an infectious cry honestly, because she lost her father
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: and then her grandfather became like her father essentially and
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: walked her down the island. So it was a really
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: big loss for her, even though he didn't make it
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: to one hundred, which is lovely.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's celebrate that in the great words and Order
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: of Winnie the Pooh.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: How lucky am I to have something that makes saying
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: goodbye so hard.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, come on, goosebumps. No, I love Winny. All right,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: let's dive into this. There's so much that happens this episode.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I would say this was one of the most action
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: packed episodes that we've had so far. There's a lot
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: of changing storylines, a lot of different dynamics happening. So
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: we'll kind of fly through some of the parts that
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: feel less necessary. This part is very necessary. Yeah, Ashley
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: shows up to Kelsey's house for a haircut. This is
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: on the back end of Kelsey. If you remember a
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: few episodes ago criticizing Rosie for not kind of promoting
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: her business when Kelsey did her hair, she promotes everybody
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: else but not her, and and Kelsey's taking deep offense
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to it. So Ashley has a lot to live up
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: to here. So she's at the house and Ashley gets
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to see this magnificent mansion for the first time.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like, what can we do with Kelsey and
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Ashley to like have them be closer. Basically, it's like, Oh,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: let's have her cut her hair in the mansion so
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: she can see where she lives and all this stuff.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I thought it was funny because obviously they showed me
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: washing Ash's hair in the sink and then her going
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: to this mansion and with like a prover salon.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Well time out, let's pause here though, Let's talk about
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: your scene. You are shown in this. Why is Ashley
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: on your kitchen counter and in your sink, well not
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: at your like salon.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Well she I was her house and she doesn't have
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: us a loon, so that's why. And that we did
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: a huge chop that day, like we cut her hair
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: is like long, like almost boot length, and then we
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: cut it right above her shoulders so she could differentiate
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: yourself from all the other women that have long brown hair.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: So that's why she did the tiniest, tiny s little trim,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: just like kind of make this a storyline, honestly. And
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: going back to Rosie and not posting and all that stuff,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I was like, you don't have to post anything. Also,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: like I wouldn't post if I just got a trim
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: and some curls. I wouldn't be like, look at this,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Oh my god. If you are if if you are
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: a paying customer, you don't need to post. If you
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: are exchanging a post for service, then yeah, obviously you're
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: not posting, but that wasn't the case. And I am
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: so scared to watch this reunion between Rosie and Kelsey.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's not going well and we're only
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: five episodes in. Yeah, did they set up this Kelsey
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Ashley meeting because they're hoping that there was a friendship
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: that could blossom between the two of them.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, I can tell in Ashley's face when Kelsey's
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: explaining the situation about not getting a post that Ashy's like,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I don't agree with you, and I'm in your house
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: and I don't know what to say.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: No, Ashley says, I see I like her, is what
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: she said.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she says, I like Rosie. I'm sorry, I like
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Rosie basically, but like she should have been like, oh
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: come on, Kelsey, like, did she pay you? Then that's
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: what you get. But that's actually being too nice, you know.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, It's It's weird though, that it's become such a
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: major thing.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I agree, I wouldn't remember, like you said last week,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't remember if it didntone's hair they didn't post.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: So she's holding onto a lot.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: It must be that there is like a weight put
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: into this of Hey, I'm gonna cut this news anchor's hair.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: This is going to blow up my business. This is
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: kind of my next thing. It feels like it if
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I was sitting with Kelsey and able to be her therapist,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: which I'm not licensed to do, nor do I think
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: i'd be very good at it. Yeah, but it'd be
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: like all these things are stemming from this, like searching
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: for meaning.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, in her way out basically of the situation that
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: she's in.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: That's it. It's like you're crying to get out of this.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Maybe the band aid just needs to be ripped off.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: If there's not a better time than when you're on
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: you know, on Bravo as a real housewife, I don't
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: know what it is like now is your opening? Go
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: run yes, yes, say goodbye?
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: And and then Kelsey starts coming out Rosie for like
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: the house that she's building, and she's it's not even
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: that big. I'm like, you don't even own a house,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: so like are you are you jealous? Like why are
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: you coming at someone when you're literally just living in
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: someone else's house.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it feels good to see other people's you know,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: feel like other people are experiencing a pain or if
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: you're trying to hide something. I don't know how. I mean,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: we saw two episodes ago their remodel of this house
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: look pretty big to me.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look big. You're building a house, you're designing it.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: It's a big job. It's like all consuming and it
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: doesn't really matter how big it is. If she's exaggerating
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: the square footage, fine, but the fact that she's building
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: her own house don't diminish that.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Well. It's a little bit though, and I do think
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: we're going to fall into this, and I wonder how
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: much of the production of behind the scenes this plays
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: into it, but it is a little bit with this
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: show of keeping up with the Joneses. Yeah, and there
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: is that envy, that jealousy that I need to, you know, perform.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: That's one of the things I love about Ashley so
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: far in this. Yes, we want her to speak up
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and get into it. However, what I love is that
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: we're seeing that Ashley really doesn't have this desire to
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: be richer, cooler, more important than anybody else. That's not
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: how she comes at conversations. And I'm watching this going
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I like, this is such a beautiful thing to witness
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: on the show like this is where somebody isn't drawn
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: in to the rat race.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I remember production at the beginning when they were
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: like going over outfits and different events and stuff, and
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: they're like, what are you gonna wear? She's like, I
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: was gonna wear like this, like body suit, and like
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: some genies are like do you have like Gucci or Blanciaga,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: like and she's like no, no. So then Dolores ended
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: up giving her some bags just to like wear to
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: like keep up with the Joneses and like, yeah, we
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: got a fluff it a little bit, but she would
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: never buy something like that now.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: And it's it's not only attractive, it's also a really
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: fun dynamic to see somebody like Ashley and then somebody
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: who's out there like this. A lot of these women
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: are trying to you know, either name drop or boost
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: how much money they have or what they're doing, which
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: is always a very unattractive quality in people. Is when
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: you sit in a room and everybody's like, oh, who
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: do you know and how much money do you have?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Not important? Not cool.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: You would be surprised how many people do it though.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, I think it comes from a place.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Of vincent, right, therapist Ben, Yeah, yeah, that's right.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: This, Uh, how do you feel about like do you personally, Lauren,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: did you feel a little bit of like jealousy and
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: envy and protection over Ashley she sat in that chair
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: and got her haircut by Kelsey.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: If it was like the greatest haircut she's ever had,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: that was life changing, I'd be a little pissed, you
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. But didn't feek that extraordinary to me. Yeah,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be torn apart by Kelsey because you know,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: like I'm more wired i Rosie, So like, if Kelsey
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: ever listens to this, I'm beheaded.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: That's okay, Maybe we'll see you more often on that.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Kelsey is like so stunning, like annoyingly beautiful. I'll get it.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: She is gorgeous. Yeah, she is gorgeous, and I think
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: that's something that everybody knows. It's almost like you're yelling
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: at the screen, being like recognized at Kelsey, like yeah,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: you know you have nothing to prove here, so true. Yeah,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: we are going to flash through this Jack's birthday party.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: They do go on a boat. It looks like it
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: could be set up for a fun day. Honestly, it
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: doesn't look that fun. And I wonder watching this how
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: much Jack's birthday party was taken away from by having
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: the cameras there. I wonder what the like what he
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: would say was, Hey, that was a decent idea, and
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that like the show paid for my birthday party. However,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: it really like there was it took away from it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: It seemed Yeah, it seemed like obviously there's two different
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: like parties going on. You had the fight in Rosie
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: and Ashley and Kelsey on one end, and then it
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: was a little awkward, and then Alicia didn't know about
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: what game were. I don't know. I mean, I think
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Ashley did her like welcome party on that boat for
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: her wedding. Actually, m did you go to that.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think I was at that. I wonder why
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I was at a wedder.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you were invited to that, but they it
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: is a fun time, it's lovely, so I don't it
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: should have been fun, but I think that it was
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: obviously ruined by Rosie crying and fighting.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: It's uh, Rosie's definitely getting like she's the outsider here.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: It feels like more.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Than I feel bad for her. I hope she comes
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: back because they are just like anything she says is
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: not going well, and not posting someone's haircut is crazy,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Like do you post your haircut every time you get
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: your haircut? Me? Yes?
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: No?
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: No? See why is he different?
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah? My hair is not one to show off. Though,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: A very interesting switch here, Lauren to the whole thing.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: The bow day was great. A lot of the things
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: you said were brought up, like there's arguments, but we
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: do get what I feel like could have been the
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: whole episode is did Joellen and Rula sit down? They
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: agree to sit down for brunch together without the husbands,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: And I actually think this is a I'm enjoying Joellen
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: and I think she'd be a good time to hang
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: out with. She's definitely, though, one of those people that
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: love to get into everybody's business and be actively involved
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: in that business, and so I know this was something
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: that she probably was like, really excited about. I'm impressed
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: that Rula said yes to it is myte Oh.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: I'm still impressed that she shows up to shoot. This
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: was such a gold Still, I don't know if Rula
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: believes the words coming out of her mouth because Joellen's saying,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I literally have text messages between your husband and the
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: mistress from my friend and she and Joeln says that
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: she knows the stress because her kids went to school
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: with mistress's kids, and Rula is like, no, those oh no, no, no,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: those texts are from uh, they're like AI, they're made
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: up texts. And it's like, do you hear the words
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: coming out of your mouth? Like do you? She goes
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: and Brian told me that himself. I'm like, of course,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Brian told you herself. What. I don't know what. I
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: don't know what's going on? Like how could you believe that?
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: And I love what men I don't actual shouldn't say, man,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: I should say like people who cheat, they always say like,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: oh the person other person's crazy, they're crazy committable, you know,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: and so it's like, oh no, she's unstable. It's like
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: they that is a great way to still communicate and
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: have text with someone and cover up a whole story.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Brian is amazing. It's amazing television.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: It is amazing television. Lauren. I want to dive into this. Yeah,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I am so confused. You are married. I am married. Yeah,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I have a hard enough time like can my wife
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: is very allowing of me to doing things I enjoy
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: and love like golf.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, I am also very understanding boys out of the house.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Today, But I'm just confused on how this happens. And
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: I know manipulation happens, and I know it's a process.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Brian obviously is an intelligent person because of his career
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: and you know his education. However, like you said, he
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: is somehow convinced Rula, who also is a very intelligent person, Yeah,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: that this thing's not happening in any proof of it
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: is either based on somebody being crazy or ai and
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: made up. I don't know how you get to that, Like,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know how that happens in a relationship.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: You really just want to believe what they're saying, Like
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: I've been cheated on and pass relationships, and you just
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: kind of want to believe it even if the proof
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: is right there. Like one time I read a boyfriend's text,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: like literally went through a phone, read them, disgusted, and
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: still was like, I'm just gonna ignore it because it's
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: easier to ignore it, and especially with her actually being
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: married in having kids. But then she also says she
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: has a tracker on his car, so she knows where
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: he's going. And then Joellen's like they get breakfast or
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: coffee every morning or something. The mistress and and Brian
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: get coffee everymore. And she goes she gets to the gym.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Does he look like he goes to the gym? Iconic line?
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: And it's like, yeah, you can put a tracker on
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: someone and be like, yeah, i'mount a coffee shop and
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: then I'm going to work and she works. She can
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: come to work and it trackers are fullproof, not foolproof.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: They're not fullproof. You can go wherever you want.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: How in a town like this do you get away
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: with anything like this?
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: So sounds like he's just never gotten.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Away with it once and he's just somehow convinced the
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: one person his wife, who's some Here's my confusion, if
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: I'm honest, why does he care if his wife is
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: mad or not? It doesn't sound like he's invested in
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: that relationship at all. If he's meeting up for coffee
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: with somebody every morning, that sounds a lot more like
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: a romantic relationship than what he has with Rula right now,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: where he's lying to her the whole time, and at
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: what point does it move beyond just being a mistress.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: If you're having coffee with somebody and you're not just
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: laying down beside him and you know, doing what you
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: want to do based on urges and lust, then you
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: are no longer just cheating. You are full blown in
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: a relationship with somebody.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and if what we see later on, I
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: don't know if we want to dive into that now,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: but he like kind of it seems like when the
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: mistress says John p says how high, like he's risking
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: at all, and it appears that like, yeah, he doesn't
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: really care if he gets caught, because it kind of
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: alludes to him making up elaborate lies just to go
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: see her for an hour. So he's definitely like in
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: love with her, I guess, And he should leave Roula,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: but maybe there's some financial things or he can or
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: the appearance of a divorce like Rula said in the beginning,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: But this thing is definitely not over, and I don't
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: know where it stands today, like months after filming, but
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: we do know that the mistress is posting things in
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: his backyard still.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: And they're getting I mean, goodness, gracious, Lauren like they're
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: getting all this aired on television, which Brian is obviously
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: very uncomfortable with. He doesn't want any of this done publicly.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: What in the world did he think was going to happen?
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: I think we've said that every episode for the last
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: five episodes is what did he think was going to happen?
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: When you agreed to a show? And maybe he wasn't
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: a part of the agreement, And this is kind of
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: but Rula just feels like she doesn't want to know.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: So let's go to the ent of Joellen, because none
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: of these other women are really pressing the issue like
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Joellen is what is her intention of continuing to bring
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: this up, continue to make it a storyline, continuing to say, Rula,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: it's right in front of your face. I'm trying to
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: share with you. Why is she doing that? If she does,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: if Rula continues to be like Joan, I don't care.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I really don't understand that. But this is kind
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: of like something Ashley would do in like our personal lives.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Is like she will not let it go until someone
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: like has all the information. And it's very frustrating when
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: someone isn't listening to you, and at least what Rula
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: could do is say I hear you, I know what's happening.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I will take it from here. But the fact that
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: she's continuing to defend him is what's driving Joell and crazy.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: I think is like, let's just start stick up for him.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: It's fine if you guys want to continue this weird relationship. Obviously,
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: polyamory or polygamy or the hell, it's okay on this show,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: so we can handle that. It's just admit it. Just
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: admit it to me.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's going to be interesting. As you said,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: we were months post filming. Hopefully season two will be
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: picked up. I think it might be. I mean, it
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: has to be a done deal. This show has been
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: so popular. I know, I know wild, but it'll be
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: interesting and continue to follow to see if Rula ever
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: does go back to Joel and say, hey, didn't feel
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: good at the time, didn't like it at the time,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: don't really know what your intentions were, and continuing to
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: bring it up. However, thank you for bringing the information
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: to light to me. Yeah, we'll see if that ever happens.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Rule it seems like a kind of person that'll do that. Now.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Let me say, I was watching like the old episodes
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: just in here, and then it rolled over into the
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: after shows. Have you watched any of those?
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: No?
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: I didn't watch it until today. They are crazy on there,
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: so like they're admitting so much more stuff than what's
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: shown on the actual episode. And Joe Ellen was talking
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: way back to when Rosie was asking about Kelsey's relationship
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: and Joelan's like, just don't get in your just don't
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: get in anyone's business. Just and then like, Joelan, are
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: you literally saying with a straight face, don't get in
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: anyone's business? Unbelievable? So I really recommend watching those. I
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: was like, what I And Kelsey is so mean to
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Rosie in these episodes too, So if Rosie is watching
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: the after show too, they're they're gonna need like a
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: severe moderator in this reunion, Like I know it ends
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: up getting physical.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: So I mean, you've admitted that you're you know, you
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: like Rosie, you're close with her. So when you see
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: this stuff, do you feel like you're biased or you're
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: like no, this was just actually like very mean.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Let's see, am I bias? I'm trying to watch from
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: another perspective? I think I would. That's hard I think
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: it maybe be a little biased. I think that like
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Is and Kelsey kind of seem like the cool mean girls,
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: you know, like the pretty cool mean girls, and I
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: would want to be friends with them. But I know
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: that i'd probably get a lot better with Ashley and Rosie,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: you know, so I would probably want to be friends
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: with them and like get their trust. But yeah, so
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: watching it as like a total outsider would probably be
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: a little more neutral.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, this is where things get weird, Lauren. The
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: episodes continue to leave us on cliffhangers. They find it
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: every week. We are going to go to the polo match.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: It's at Billy's restaurant. I kind of forget the exact
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: name at this point. It looks like a just a.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Cool mom or is there another one.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Angelo's Antonio's. Oh yeah, Angelo's Antonio's. It's it looks like
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: a very like simple, nice little spot to grab a bite.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: The women are meeting there before the polo match. An
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: important note is that they've gotten transportation to the pole
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: match from the restaurant, so they can eat and drink,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: and they have rides to the polo match. This is
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: like a very welcoming, fun experience and Brian and Rula
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: show up. This is the first time that Joellen has
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: been around Brian since their conversation at the party, and
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: everything's going great until Brian gets the phone call that
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: his mom is sick and she's going to the hospital.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: And Rula and Brian say, hey, we're going to meet
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: at the polo match, but we're gonna have to drive separate
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: because we need to go check on Brian's mom. And
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: to me, I'm feeling for Brian here, right, we all
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: have parents, you know, everybody's like, dang, Like that's tough.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of where we lead up to till
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: we get to the polo match, is that everybody's feeling
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: for him. Everybody's having a good time. They're chatting.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: They facetimed Rula in the bus on the way to
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: the polem and they find out that Brian is at
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: the hospital with his mom and dad, but Rula didn't go. Interesting.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: It's very interesting. For one, you'd ask the question, Rula,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: why didn't you just get on the bus and go
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: to the pole match if you weren't gonna go visit
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Brian's mom. Correct, And I'm guessing Brian might have been
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: pushing for Rula just to get in the bus.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Ah. She's like, no, oh my god, you're so rich. No, no, no, babe,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: I'll come with you. Come with you. And then he's like,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: you know what, she's actually you know what that I
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: think he's She was like, she's like, no, I'll come
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: with you. And then they get home and home or something,
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: and then he's like, actually, they're not going to the
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: hospital that I'm just gonna go check on her at
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: the house, but I'll be back in like ten minutes
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: or something. And then that's when he got his little
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: whatever the hell happened with his mistress. But we'll get
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: we'll continue on.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, good things happen in ten minutes.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: For some people.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: For some people, Brian is not with Rula when they FaceTime.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: So everybody does show up to the pool match. It
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: looks like such a fun day. It's beautiful, drinking, eating,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: hanging out with friends. Everybody's dressed up. So they get
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: to FaceTime, they hear that Brian is checking on his parents.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think this brings up like any shock and ad.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: It's like, okay, fine, But then Joellen gets a text
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Lauren from a.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Friend very convenient text, Yes.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: How does that happen? Actually? Can you explain to me,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: like how that happens where it's so convenient?
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Well, honestly, maybe it was just like a maybe Joellen
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: was talking to her friend who also knows the mistress
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: and was like, Oh, I'm gonna be seeing Brian and
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Rula today. How crazy is that going to be? And
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: then maybe the friend got whin that the mistress was
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: going to go hook up with him, and he's like, wait,
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: aren't you filming? Let me text you? Well, And so
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: maybe it actually happened organically.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: When you are a mistress, are you texting your friend
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: like Hey, I'm sorry, I can't like come see you
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: right now, I'm going to go hook up with Brian
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: for ten minutes.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Maybe she's really proud of like her role and she's like, haha,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: I even got him away from filming. I am so powerful.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: M And she had to share it with her friend.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Interesting, Well, it's an interesting friend to share it with
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: because you know this friend also is the one that's
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: going to be sharing it with the masses. But this
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden starts kind of the whole cycle
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: towards the conclusion of this episode. After this text, Liz
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: does say this is a lie.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's too convenient.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: It's too convenient.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand that, And it's so elaborate. I don't
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: know how you even get your wife to stay home
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: when she's on the way to the hospitl with you.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: It is very convenient, And I understand Liz being like, Okay, now,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: everyone relaxed. This is just fairy tales. Until they show
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: up to the pole match and his ring is missing
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: because Kelsey is like, h Brian, where's your ring? And
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: he goes, oh, it's in the cards. I forgot to
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: put it on. It was on when they showed up
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: to the bus, and Joellen goes for the whole storyline,
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: but that is wild to take your ring off, like
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: there's no other reason, right, do you see another reason
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: to have your ring off in that matter of time?
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: He says what he was putting jel in his kid's
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: hair or something.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Okay, I wear I do hair, I have goop all
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: over all the time. This ring never comes off.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: No, I'm with you. I don't think that's an excuse.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I'm just there's a few things here. One I'm impressed
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: at anybody noticed that he had ring on or not.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: That is so woman coded, like I am always looking
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: at men's left hands.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: That is wild to me that that's ever like a
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: thing too. If I'm Brian, I know these women think
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I'm having an affair. Yeah, I'm doing everything I can
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: if it's not true. Yes, I also just use the
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: word proove to prove to them that I'm not doing
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: it anymore. It's done, it's over. I'm happy with my wife.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: I want to invest into my wife. That would be
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: like I would overcompensate. They'd probably be like, hey, dude,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: like we get it that you like your wife. Back
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: up a little bit here, this is a lot. You're overcompensating.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: He is doing the opposite of overcompensating. He is trying zero.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: I know, I know. It's it's amazing to see it.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: And then I think that Liz or Alicia comes over
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: and I don't remember who it was in goes, oh,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: what are you scrolling Instagram? Because it was right after
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Joellen was on her phone and saw that the mistress
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: posted in Brian's car like an hour before. So the
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: timeline is checking out even further. And so then this
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: is where I find it to be very interesting. I
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: think Liz comes over and goes, what are you doing
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: on your phone? What are you scrolling Instagram? My theory
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: is that he's actively deleting texts with the mistress, delete
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: texting her being like delete that photo, you dumb, dumb
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: be and then just making sure there's no evidence because
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: he knows they're coming for him and he needs to
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: get rid of all that evidence. And when someone's also
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: talking to you and you're continuously looking down like ferociously
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: on your phone, you're doing something sketchy.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I found it weird that two episodes in a row. Yeah,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: he has, you know, I pretty much like exited the situation,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: or tried to at least. He is very much not
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: wanting to have this conversation on television. He's really not
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: want to have the conversation with Rula at all. I
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: don't know what happens when they get back in private,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: but after the party, remember the you know questions that
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Rula was asking, like just tell me it's done, and
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: we didn't see that. Then here when he gets confronted,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: he is like, I'm not having this conversation here, and
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: you're like, how many times can this, do get out
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: of this. That's what I'm thinking. How many times can
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: this guy get away with it again? We're talking completely
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: different scenario. If Rula is like, yeah, he's doing this
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: and I'm cool with it. No, all we want to
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: hear from Brian, not from Rula telling us what the
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: situation is. We want to hear from Brian. This isn't
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: happening anymore, but there's too many clues leading to it.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. His defense, his continuous line keeps saying, is if
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: I was gonna leave rule, I would have done it
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: last year. And he says it like three times over.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: I'm like, how is that your defense are using? And
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: then he also says, oh, yeah, I called her yesterday.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: She called me yesterday, And it's like, what would she
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: have to say? And that's just another defense that if
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: they go through his phone, they'll see a call from
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: her and it was harmless. It's just so obvious and
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: it's amazing.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: I gotta be exhausting, like really tiring for him, Like
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: how is he he's juggling all this stuff? I mean
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: he has to come up with an excuse like who
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: knows if his mom was sick or not, But he
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: uses that excuse to leave this party and leave the
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: party to go see what we imagine is his mistress.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: That's a big like, that's a lot of like circus
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: acts going on. Yeah, and let me be mean here
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: for a second. When Rula and Brian walk into the
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Pol match, it was another reminder how far out of
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: his league she is. She's not only like five inches
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: taller than him. You see them walk in, You're like,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: this does It's one of those you know that you
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: get on Instagram, your buddys send your picture like this
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: doesn't make sense? How is this couple together?
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: How does it come to be?
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: And he's like I would leave her a year ago.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: You're like, dude, She like, what are you talking about?
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: I know, I don't know how he's got such a
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: big head. But what's what's really interesting is that basically
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: on the bus list was like this is bullsh This
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: isn't you know you guys A timeline is too convenient.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: But then she sees the post on Instagram and then
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: the way he's acting, she's like, okay, I believe you
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: guys now. And also Rula was saying like Joellen's perpetuating
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: this narrative and she hangs out with the wrong people,
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: and Liz was like, enough of blabing, Joellen, please look
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: at the man standing next to you, And I was like,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: that's the right take. Here is like, just don't shoot
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: the messenger and Rula needs to get that through her
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: head that Joellen's not the enemy.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Here's going to be the interesting part. There's a few
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: things that come from this episode that I find fascinating.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Does Brian ever show up again? Does he ever agree
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: to show up to a filming again? It's not gone
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: well for him so far. The other one is we
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: kind of started this season with Joellen being the one
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: that people were most hesitant to, Like, I think, does
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: this switch Joellen's you know, friendship with everybody? Does she
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: now get even more ingrained in the group and kind
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: of become the pack leader because she's like I was
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: telling you guys the whole time, you never listened. You
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: should listen to me from here on. Now does that
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: dynamic change where now all of a sudden, Joellen is
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: the beloved participant in the Real Housewives of Rhode Island.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: And then the final one for me is where does
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Liz play at? Like, how does this Liz conversation play
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: out in the long term. I mean, Liz switch, we
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: saw it, you just said it. Her role switched here
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: to being no longer kind of hesitant of Joel and
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: but saying stop Rula, like look at this. Does that
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: open Rula's eyes? In episodes that come at all?
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: I yeah, I mean I really, I really hope so.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: And in the beginning of the episode when it was Alisha,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Joellen and Rula are not Alesia, Joellen and Liz at
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Alicia's house. Sorry, Liz mentions that it's low lying fruit
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: to like pick on Rula because it's such a sad situation.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: But there comes a time where like you can't help
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: anyone anymore if they're not going to like admit what's happening.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: So first with to see if Rule admits what's happening,
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: and then we can see like how like Liz, you know,
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: handles it all. On the after show, it's Rula, Rosie
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: and Ashley sitting there and talking all about the episodes.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: So like they are like a clique because I think
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: they understand. These girls understand like it's hard to just
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: admit that this is hard and what she's going through.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: So she's not they're not going to badger her to
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: admit that your husband is having this there. So I
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: feel like that's kind of how they became a click.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: It's like you don't have to say it, I know.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's fair and that's good, great episode, wild moments.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: We do see in the preview Ashley get a little feisty.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: She guess she said a word.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: She said a word. I like how you said that.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm excited to see what that's about. I
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: think Kelsey goes a little overboard with Rosie and her
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: hatred for Rosie. So I think Ashley really needs to
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: step in, you know, because she could lose Rosie. She
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: doesn't defend Rosie at some point.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: And yeah, Ashley really can't afford to lose Rosie and
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Rosie can't afford to lose Ashley. We see what happens, yeah,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: when Ashley is not around to pull her to the side.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: But I'm excited to see what Ashley is getting feisty about.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: That's going to be fun.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, Kelsey calls out Rosie for lying. I know
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: that it's a lot about I think her job and
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: how she lost her job and lying about the scorefooters
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: of the house, so very exciting, can't wait for that.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: I'm excited to see Ashley, obviously. And then it appears
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: that Kelsey is going through a breakup, and I wonder
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: with who that's that's kind of the right which one.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: I guess I assumed the dude who we haven't seen,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: and the guy that is, you know, no longer around.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: But that's why she's asking for tags on Instagram all
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, because she needs an income.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, this is so wild and so good, Lauren.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Has Ashley ever yelled at you?
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: We've gotten in one No, we've gotten two fights, two
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: fights before all my fault. Jesus.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: I really can't get into it.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: But you see, you have seen the feisty side of Ashley.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, is it good?
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: But only with me. I've never seen with anyone else.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: So I honestly have no idea how it's gonna look.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: It is very foreign to me as well.
