• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Island with the incredible spectacular co host of mine, Lauren.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Welcome back, Hello, thank you for having me back. It
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: was so much fun last week. I have to keep
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: coming back.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever felt like the Almost Famous
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: podcast has gotten such positive feedback. And when we announce
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: you as the co host for the Housewives.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: The engagement on that Instagram is popping off.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Guys, you really are the difference maker. I don't know
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: what that says about myself. Ashley is a lot of love,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: but I think that.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: It may be the fact that people really want to
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: know we have to say about Ashley on TV again.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: But we can make it about ourselves if we.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Want, well, we can make it about us. But I
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: do actually want to make it about your dad. Oh
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: your dad.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: So I have been able to talk to Ashley in
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the interim between episodes and life and she mentioned to me,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I was I'm curious, your dad's a fantastic man. I've
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: known him, met him just enjoy being around him. And
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I was like, Ashley, does he watch this stuff, like
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and when he does, kind of how is he watching it?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Is he like weird it out or what? And she said,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: you got to ask Lauren about that.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well I haven't watched Housewives with him, but
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I would watch Bachelor And like his normal like reaction
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: is always just smacking his head, like smacking his forehead,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: like every time she says anything. But I mean, I
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: think he thinks it's hilarious. I mean, he's very proud
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: of her, this is huge. But he doesn't really say much,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: but he'll like laugh at it. I'm sure it's very
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: weird to see. He doesn't really speak that much. He
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: doesn't really speak that much. Okay, guys, Like he's very
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: he's very smart and kind and amazing. We love him.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: But like I don't really know what's going on in
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: his head a lot at the time. But like when
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: he smacks his head, I know he thinks it's hilarious,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: So that's a reaction.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: It's there's just some moments. I mean, for the most part,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Ashley has had no embarrassing moments or even moments that
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: as a I think as a dad, you'd be like,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I cannot believe she's saying this or
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: doing this.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, because like a lot of people that go
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: on dating shows and stuff like this are absolutely absurd
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: and they're talking about, like, you know, having sex with
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: tons of people and all this stuff, and they have
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: to be kind of semi ashamed, and all she's saying
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: in this episode in particular, is like, yeah, I didn't
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: have sex until I was twenty nine. You know. It's like, Okay,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: that's a much easier watch than a lot of the
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: other people, you know, like I'm a little concerned for
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: like Joe Ellen or Rosie's dad when they're talking about
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: like penises and stuff.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. You're spot on, have you Okay,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you've followed along, you obviously have the inside scoop. Yeah,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I'm watching the Real Housewives of Rhode Island. Is it
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: normal for so many women to have so many different secrets?
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Okay? So I had a client this morning who is
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: the most diehard Real Housewives fan knows everyone from every franchise,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: goes to Bravo Khan and she said that this has
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: been the most juicy first season of any Housewives and
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: she was like, I can't believe these Rhode Islanders have
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: so many secrets. It's so juicy from the jump, and
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I'm like, Wow, the other seasons must be really, really
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: boring because it usually builds up to that drama. But
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I guess the fact that they're very open about their
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: relationship drama is what's interesting. Because she's saying that on
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: New York, On New Jersey Housewives, everyone just pretends everyone's
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: amazing and they dig up secrets rather than offering these secrets.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that actually makes it, maybe
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: for me, in my own pert preference, a better watch
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: than seeing somebody's life, Like, people are gonna make mistakes, right,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not here to throw stones, but it's it'd be
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I think it'd be hard for me to see somebody's
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: life get ruined on TV because they signed up for
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: a show. But if they're out there being like, hmmm, no,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I've slept with this dude and he's sleeping with this
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: girl and we're just kind of all figuring this, Like,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I think that's easier for me to like consume.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I get that, and a lot of people, like in
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: the Housewives franchises have like gone to jail for like embezzlement,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Like a lot of them, A lot of the husbands
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: are doing sketchy And I don't know why you'd sign
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: up for this show if you're not willing to expose
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: all your secrets. And that's a huge secret, you know.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: So like that's also kind of brings me to this
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: episode when the rula is introduced and they talk immediately
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: about her husband cheating on her, and it's like, I
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: the balls to go on here, just knowing that's going
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: to be dug up, and especially him as a pediatrist,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I like that could really ruin like your livelihood.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: You know it is, but it does. I'm almost having
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: a hard time tracking who, like who's sleeping with who,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and like who actually like has a relationship that like
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: is not you know, having extra marital affairs and not
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: totally And we kind of see it at the beginning
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: with Liz and Jerry they they hang out the in laws.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: This is I think a very I think that's a
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: very sweet scene.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I loved it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: It's very nice. Like their daughter. You see Liz as
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: a mom, which I think is cool, you know, as
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: a stepmom, but a mom. Yeah, you see the boyfriend
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: bring his family in, and the boyfriend probably like peeing
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: down his legs so nervous.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: You know, yes, yes, I know, I know. It's very cute.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: And I also kind of like how Liz didn't really
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: disclose why they end up getting pretty much like full
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: custody of the girls. They she didn't air that out,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: and that's protecting the kids and stuff. So I thought
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: that was really nice to see. And the boyfriend, yes,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: must be very nervous and expecting the question when is
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the ring coming? They didn't get into that. Maybe they'll
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: get into that later, but it's very overall sweet scenes,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: super Italian, super like. Yeah, And what I love about
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: this season is we see all of these women eating,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: and I feel like on Beverly Hills and all the
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: other seasons, no one's eating. Like it's a very big
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: cultural thing up there to be eating the cheese and
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: all the Boston and all that stuff.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, my wife's family has a fairly like a
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: big East Coast presence, but some of them are in
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Rhode Island, and oh my god, yeah, they eat. Like
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: when I say they eat, they eat, and they eat
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: all the time, Like there's platters of food that come
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: out throughout the day.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, Oh, it's so amazing. So is she watching this?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: She will be, I obviously have the screeners, and so
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: tonight I think during the National Championship of the basketball game,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: she's going to be catching very fair Rhode Island. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: do want to get into the Ashley scene obviously with
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Joel in the park, but we I think, just for
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: my brain, it makes more sense to honestly go to
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the Kelsey Liz Rula getting drinks seen because there's so
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: much of the like Liz's life that's brought up, and
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: we obviously saw at the beginning of the episode Liz's
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: life in such a like dynamic way with the you know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: kids and the baby on the way and the grandparents,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: and Rula really makes her entrance here. I'm still shocked,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and I've been on reality television. I'm shocked that people
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: can get into these kind of conversations knowing it's going
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to be aired on National Time.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I know, that's what I'm saying. It's kind of nuts. Yeah,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: she went into it knowing that they're going to bring
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: up the fact that her husband had an affair and Liz,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: which I love the quote, like they were like, oh,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: is it still ongoing? Is this a fair song going?
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: And She's like, no, it was last summer or whatever.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: And then Kelsey's talking about the timeline of their outfits
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: and being Christmas or summer or whatever, and Liz goes,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: but it is MA, and that's going to be a
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: line of mine until the end of time. But it
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: is MA because everyone is talking about it and seeing it,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to have a little inside scoop. Now,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: all the inside scoop that I have is actually not
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: from Ashley because I'm not going to get her in trouble,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: but it is from my sleuthing on the internet. So
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: allegedly she works in the building next to Brian, and
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: later in the episode, Brian says, Rula, this affair cannot
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: be going on because I share my location with you,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: you know where I am. It's like, yeah, you work
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: next to your mistress, like you know, like you could
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: be doing whatever you want. So I thought that was
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: a very interesting tibot. And she does work in aesthetics,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: like Joellen says, So Joe Ellen allegedly follows her on Instagram,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: so that's yeah.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: So this is okay. He does he know he's been caught.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Brian knows that everyone knows, and he apologized and said
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: it it ended and that it's not ongoing. But apparently
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Liz has some insider scoop and knows it's still going on.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: And we don't really know how she knows that though.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: But this lunch is kind of the moment to I mean,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: is do you think this lunch is meant to help Rula?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Is it meant to expose like what's happened? Like this
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: is where I'm getting confused on the Real Housewives, because
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: is it actually meant to be helpful?
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I think it's both. I think it's great television. This
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: is when you're going to bring up Rules affair or
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: not Ruald affair or whatever, Brian's affair and let her
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: know like you shouldn't trust him yet like we know
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: some information and we're being good friends and just keep
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: an eye out.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Really I get I'm shocked, Like if this was a
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: thing a year go, how somebody can say, yes, I
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: want to go on this show now, like I know
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: this is still.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: How could Brian ever sign off on this? It makes
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: him look like a masrule look stupid and so Liz, Yeah, yeah,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: they want to Liz. Okay, so I'm trying to remember Liz. No,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Joe Wellen sent Liz the pictures of Brian having an affair,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: and that's that's she's.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Like private investigating.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, Rula saw the pictures from Liz, and then I
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: guess down the line they blame Joeellen for exposing this
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: entire affair. And that's what they get to at the
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: winery later on. Is and that's why Joellen hates Rula
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: so much, because they blamed her for her own husband
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: having an affair. It's like, that is his problem, and
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: that is that is not Joellen. She's being the messenger.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, unless, I mean, the only thing I can think
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: here is that it was done with this not the
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: spirit of I'm trying to help you, but the spirit
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: of I know something that you know, I'm in on
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: the joke or I have a little you know, like
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: there is that element too, you're like when I screw
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: you too. Yes, we all have that in our life
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: where it's like you did this, you sent me a picture,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: you know what's happening, but you're almost proud that you're
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the one to find it, and not it's not helpful,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: it's actually very hurtful to me.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: One hundred percent. I understand. I can see that, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: as women, I think we love a little bit of drama.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: And then she got the drama. You know. It's not
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: speaking for all women, but if I saw that, I
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: would be like, I would probably show my friends and
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: I'm an asshole for it, but I would need to
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: talk about it, and then eventually I think Rulas should
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: have known. I don't think that Joel should be in
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: trouble for showing Ula. But Rula does not like Joellen.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: We've seen that she she she hates her for it.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: And last night, after this episode aired, Joellen wrote on
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Instagram referring to Rula, you shop in Cranston, you golf
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: in Cranston, and your husband sleeps in Cranston. Because it's
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: like look, because she was talking to it on Cranston
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: and now she's on this whole Cranson parade because it's
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: not the most expensive area and so Rula was talking
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: shit about that. So they're already firing shots and I'm
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: very looking I'm looking forward to the reunion.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: If this is all we get for someone talking on
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: one town, you know.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Does the reunion happen? After the whole show's done.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I think so, but there are so
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: many episodes that I think they do like a chunk
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: and then a chunk, like a midway season.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, because like there's some stuff already
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I want them to have to like bick her out.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I can't even imagine. I haven't in the next episode,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: so I don't have any more like inside scoop on
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: what's about to come. All what I've heard is like
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: they're literal physical fights, so well they were union maybe
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: even wild.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's this is this is the wildest thing I've
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: ever entered into. We've covered so much of the episode already,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: but I do want to get to the part that's
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: so intriguing to our listeners is Ashley. Yeah we did.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: We get to see Ashley and Joel on at the park.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: It looks really hot.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: It's too hot for them. Those poor kids have those
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: red little cheeks. They're so sweaty. I would be so overstimulated.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I couldn't do it. And the fact that they were
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: able to have somewhat of a conversation amazes me.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, this is a moment where we see
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Ashley express some emotion. You know, she's talking about Jared,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: and I think I want to clarify this, and I
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: think Ashley would like it if we did clarify. Knowing
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Ashley and Jared ashally, Jared is an incredible husband, man,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: and father. I think there there is a world in
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: which and I don't think this is what Ashley meant.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I don't think it is actually what she was saying.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: I think it was just how it was shown where
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: it was almost like Jared's just like this unhappy, like
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: grouch walking around all the time, and he like and
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: that's just not the case. But he he takes a
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: lot of his responsibility seriously, and I think it's an
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: admirable thing. And I think he is an admirable able admirable.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I need to pick it up your stuff to say.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's a great man. And I think this
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: was a hard moment because Ashley's kind of talked about
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: it on almost Famous before where he gets down on himself.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: But yet if you walk into Audrey's, you're like, this
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: is one of the coolest places that exists.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, awesome, Yeah, I feel really that was very emotional.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I was just like my throat had a lump watching
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: her because you know, you're stressed out with the kids
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: and you're just trying to convey this. But Jared literally
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: is the best. Like I'll tell everyone, like he if
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: he's not at Audrey's, he's playing with the kids, he's
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: planning Disney trips, or he's on like a date night
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: with Ashley, like and the only thing he wants to
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: do is like play softball on Sundays, So like that's
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: what he lives for. He's the best. So I don't
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: want anyone to look at this being like, oh, she
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: has the husband that only cares about work and stuff.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: It's quite literally the opposite. And also I want to
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: mention that since airing that he's like has way more
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: like work life balance, Like he's at home like twice
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: as often. So that was just like a rough period, I.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Think sure, and Audrey's has picked up a little bit
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: and probably customers so.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: In the past two days.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah, Okay, it works out for the housewives and
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: be a good thing for those who attend. There's a
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: scene at Alicia's house. It's a party busy. Alicia says
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: that Ashley looks like a medieval princess in fact, do
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you think she does.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I'd like to address this. Okay, I bought her that outfit,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: but I never intended her to wear it to a
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: housewife gathering or any kind of winery. I thought it
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: was cool. I wore that to Ashley's baby shower at
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: a tea party. It was a tea party outfit sort
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: of situation. And then the day, the morning of filming comes,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: she calls me. She says, what do I wear? It's raining,
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: la la, la, la la, all these outfits. I was like,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know what to tell you, what you wear
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: to a winery, but like, I probably wouldn't pick that,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: and she's like, it's all I have. I'm just wearing it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: And then they're making fun of her the whole time. Oh,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I feel bad. But she really owns being the worst
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: dress on that show. And that's okay. She knows it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: She knows that's her role. She does not care what
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: her outfit is. She only cares what her hair and
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: makeup looks like. And that's always good.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Has that always been the thing with her? Always? Okay,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: it's not the outfit, it's the hair and makeup.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: She will be going to the Grammys or the Oscars,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: and she won't think about what she's wearing until the
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: day of, but will have her makeup and hair all prepped,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: you know. So that's just not it's not her thing.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: So they're going to make fun of her a couple
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: more times, probably for her outfits.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: She I mean it honestly, though, is some of these outfits.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I mean they're all wonderful and they're like outrageously like
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: you'll net you would never wear those out to lunch
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: with your friends. Some of the stuffer seeing. And so
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: maybe Ashley is the fashionista in the sense of this
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: could be your everyday outfit.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, except not the turkey like outfit. But but there
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: was a TikTok that was that someone just made and
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I should find the creator. But she goes through all
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: the girls and what they've worn this season and where
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: they get it from. This is the most like low
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: budget outfits of any franchise ever. Like a lot of
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: them is fashion, a lot of them's fashion, no, and
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: like nothing's over one hundred dollars. Usually a lot of
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: it is like obviously Revolve, but like not even the
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: high end stuff on Revolve, So like people, it's more affordable,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: like they're putting on like a face, but they all
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: look great. I love that it's an affordable fashion season.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Do you think that will continue if they make it
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: like five seasons and now they all start getting like
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: big old paychecks.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: No, they're gonna buy a whole bunch of bullshit. But
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Ashley will not. She won't.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: She doesn't care.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: No, she does not care. She never buys any clothes
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: for herself.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Oh that's amazing.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. All right, So yeah, we're out Alicia's
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: house and Alicia kind of apologized to Kelsey for bringing
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: up her relationship again, just like she was inquiring. And
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: then there she goes inquiring about rural You do the
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: same thing, and I'm like, I get it, you get
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: I get it. You want to talk about it, and
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: it's just funny. They're like. And then Kelsey's like, yeah,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: but what's going on with real It's like, you're just
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: doing the same thing. Okay, but another since this is
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: the only time we really talk about Kelsey and like
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: her her relationship other than at the box game. At
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: the end of the winery, Kelsey's boyfriend has been revealed
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: to the public. And I don't know if all of
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: your listeners know who it is now, but it's Judge
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Caprio's son, John Caprio, who Judge Caprio has gone viral
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: many times on like Instagram and TikTok for being like
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: the sweetest Judge of all time and gives people out
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: of grace and it's amazing, heartwarming videos. He passed away
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I think in twenty twenty three, five, I'm five, Okay,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: you do this, Skuy. Isn't he an amazing, amazing man?
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Yes? Yeah, so.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, so Judge Caprio, John Caprio, I guess. And he's very,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: very wealthy, he's pretty handsome, he's older, and apparently he's
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: to date Paula Abdul, So that's pretty cool.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I feel like Paula pops up a lot in pop culture.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: That's what I said. I was like, she has dated
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: every tall dark hancer man.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and she was on the Bachelor for some episode.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I don't remember which season that was, but.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she just like is she like stays in it.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she loves it and she loves boys. So yeah,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: John Caabrio. And then the other girlfriend that apparently John
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Cabrio has is they actually stop dating and he doesn't
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: actually have another girl. But this is also alleged, but
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: all of that is alleged, but allegedly. The girl's name
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: is all over the internet, and I did not get
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: it from Ashley. I found myself. The other girl is
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Crystal Camera and she is floing. She's very very hot.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Really yeah, I can send you screenshot later.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: So this dude's just out there just dating pretty people.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, So that's all that's all
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: I got. But yeah, I don't think he's actually dating
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: someone else.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: You knew that was about to happen to like, yeah,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: this guy probably didn't want that to happen.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: But I mean if also, this is my other take,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: is if Kelsey really wanted to continue her relationship with
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: this man, she would to go on this show because
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: he's not gonna like that.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this could be her out right, It must have already.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Been on the way out. And she said, I don't
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: know if I can say that on your Almost Manous podcast,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: but you know, okay, yeah, so that is yeah. And
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: then so Alicia and Kelsey are at their house are
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: talking about how they're gonna plan on a winery day,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: and then I guess they flash forward to the winery day.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: I mean obviously we're at the winery day. Is there
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: any big standout moments now as the episode kind of
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: closes up, Oh, we do have to talk about Actually
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about is so bad? Yeah, the
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: one on one interview with Alicia, and she's like, I
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: don't like driving on the highway. Yes, she's like, goes
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: through all the things that she's done on a highway.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: She's like, I've hit a woman.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: A woman like Alicia, I think it's not about the roads.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: I think you're just a bad driver. I don't think
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: it's about driving in Rhode Island.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: There's a large percentage of people that don't do the
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: things you just said you did.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Correct. She's like, I'm over driving. I just want to
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: eat my krack as since like, I don't think you're
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: a good driver. But yeah, that was kind of funny.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know. People in Rhode Island don't drive further
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: than fifteen minutes, as we said in the beginning of
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: the last episode, but like, they don't drive very far.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: If you have to drive further than twenty minutes, you're
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: driving to another state. So I hate it.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't they don't leave their little bubble.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why she said she doesn't go on like
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: the highway so weird.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: So I just I think it's so wild lord that
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: like she can sit there and have an interview and say,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I've gone off the I've hit a person there, Like
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: what do you mean by that? She's like, yah, I
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: don't worry about it, and they're like okay, yeah, no,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: we won't worry about it.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Then, like, hey, don't let that fly out of your mouth.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, maybe don't tell us that you hit a
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: human driving and don't expect us all to go. That
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: feels like an arrest, correct anything else.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: So Joellen kind of well, Kelsey lets Joellen know that
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Rula is coming to the winery and Joellen loses her ship.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: And she says once the picture of Brian and his
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: mistress got out that Brian like retaliated, I guess against
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Joellen and try to get her fired from her job,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: which is awful. We don't know if that's true or not.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: So this is all alleged.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: It's all alleged because she makes it seem like it's
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Rulea's fault. But I'm thinking, like, maybe it's just Brian
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: who is like, how dare you call me out on
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: my cheating, So I don't know if it's Rulea's fault.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: But Rula ends up not coming to the winery because
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: she's sick allegedly.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so sick.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: She's so sick.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: We really haven't seen that much of her. I mean
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: this episode we did, but we just haven't seen that
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: much of her in the first, you know, two episodes.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: No, we haven't seen her at all in the first episode.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: And this was just that was just the lunch really.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: And they also were asked Rosie if she had sex
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: with a coach, and they never say who the coach is.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Did you pick up on that? I was like, who
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: is this coach?
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah? No, and it's like she I think She responds
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: with that she's never had sex with a basketball.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Coach, right, she said she never met on or anything.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Is that going to be? Is this foreshadowing?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: You think that's what I'm thinking? I'd hope And I
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: was like, is it Bill Belichick? But it's a basketball coach,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: it's not. But I was like, that would be good
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: because she kind of does look like Belichick's new lady.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: That would be a wild That would be wild. Bill
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Belichick shows up to the real Housewives of Rhode Island.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well I think that's pretty much all the standout
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: stuff from this episode.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just kind of building now on like it
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: feels like in the first up, So we've built into
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: all these storylines that again, it's hard for me to
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: keep track of who actually is sleeping with who, who
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: has like a marriage that doesn't have like any outside influence.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: It does to me, and I'm biased, but it does
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: to me seem like Ashley and Jared are coming out
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: of this looking like so insanely normal to the like
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: populations that would watch this.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: I know. I mean I think it'll stay that way,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: it will what could possibly come up? Yeah, sorry, guys,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: no tea on Ashley and Jared there, but we're very
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: grateful for that.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Audrey's has gotten just as much screen
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: time as anything else in their relationship, and that's amazing
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: for them.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: It's great. But then also I'm a little mad because
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: then Audrey's will be so busy and they'll never end
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: up moving back to Virginia to be with me. So
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: it's okay, I'll sabotage in another way.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's when they get their jet and they can
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: just fly back and forth.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm thinking.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that'd be nice. That's even actually better for everybody.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Hey.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: In the next episode, Lauren, we see some things. We
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: meet Kelsey's other boyfriend. There is a Studio fifty four
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: theme party and Joe Ellen and Rula have a confrontation
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: that I think so many of us are on the
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: edge of our seats.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm very excited. I think that Joel's gonna
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: be very scary again. And everyone looks really beautiful in
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: their seventies outfits. I told Asha to do bangs so
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: it looks good.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Do you know, I think we can ask this when
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: like they have a party like this, a theme party,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: does actually pick out her outfit?
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she picks out her outfit.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: She picks out her outfit. That's impressive. Do you help her?
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: She just happened to have that outfit in her closet
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: and she goes, she faced on me. She goes, does
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: this look good? And I was like, that's absolutely flawless,
