We’ve Got Receipts! (Real Housewives of Rhode Island Reunion Part 1) · The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast

Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
0:03
Speaker 1: with on our radio.
0:06
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Almost Famous podcast. It's been in Lauren. Here,
0:09
Speaker 2: it's recap part one of the Real Housewives of Rhode
0:12
Speaker 2: Island reunion. But before we dive in, we want to
0:16
Speaker 2: bring in a huge fan of the Real Housewives franchise,
0:20
Speaker 2: someone who has seen it all when it comes to
0:22
Speaker 2: the episodes and the seasons and different locations. She's watched
0:26
Speaker 2: three reunions, she's analyzed these reunions before. It's producer Heather
0:34
Speaker 2: who started this conversation. We don't know what she's gonna say.
0:37
Speaker 2: She started by saying to Lauren and myself, this reunion
0:42
Speaker 2: was unlike any other reunion in the Real Housewives franchise.
0:46
Speaker 2: So Heather, that's the easiest way to do this is
0:50
Speaker 2: what do you mean? Yeah?
0:52
Speaker 3: So, what I wanted to say is, typically these reunions
0:57
Speaker 3: are three parts. Now should they always be three parts?
1:00
Speaker 3: I think some fans would agree with me and say
1:02
Speaker 3: that in previous franchises they definitely didn't need to be
1:06
Speaker 3: three parts, and we got a lot of filler stuff.
1:09
Speaker 3: So this one only being two parts is kind of
1:12
Speaker 3: good because we do get to the meat of a
1:14
Speaker 3: lot of things quicker than we typically do on these reunions.
1:17
Speaker 3: But what I will say that stuck out that was
1:19
Speaker 3: different to me is typically in these reunions, Andy will
1:24
Speaker 3: go to each person and we will get a highlight
1:28
Speaker 3: reel of that person's time on the season. Then that
1:32
Speaker 3: person will get to chit chat about you know, highs
1:36
Speaker 3: and lows from the season and address drama in that.
1:39
Speaker 3: We kind of got like glimmers of that and then
1:44
Speaker 3: got like just straight into fighting, which is just not
1:48
Speaker 3: really how we see it done on the show on
1:51
Speaker 3: these reunions, So that was probably the biggest difference for me.
1:54
Speaker 2: And then the.
1:54
Speaker 3: Second thing I would say is usually the women come
1:59
Speaker 3: our with receipts, picture, text messages, all these kinds of
2:06
Speaker 3: things that they are ready to air out and give
2:10
Speaker 3: full examples. So I can't wait to hear what you
2:13
Speaker 3: guys have to say watching this. But like, for example,
2:16
Speaker 3: that police report drama that was hinted at, like if
2:20
Speaker 3: somebody was really serious about that, they would have had
2:23
Speaker 3: that police report printed. They would have been like actually
2:27
Speaker 3: and pulled it out from behind a pillow and started
2:29
Speaker 3: to read it and show it off. So this just
2:32
Speaker 3: kind of leaned to me a little bit like, Oh,
2:35
Speaker 3: we're still new here. We're still the new girls on
2:37
Speaker 3: the block. You don't really know how all of this
2:39
Speaker 3: works just yet, but we're kind of getting there. And
2:43
Speaker 3: then I would say my final thought was that Rula
2:48
Speaker 3: really came to play in this reunion. It was like
2:51
Speaker 3: a and I'm not saying a different person showed up
2:54
Speaker 3: because of the cosmetic proceed I mean a different personality
2:58
Speaker 3: showed up in reunion and they were clearly all shook
3:02
Speaker 3: by how she was acting. And I'm going to say
3:05
Speaker 3: the word acting because it felt forced and unnatural. And
3:10
Speaker 3: those are my hot takes that nobody really cares about.
3:13
Speaker 2: But thanks for asking, Bet, I think everybody cares about him.
3:15
Speaker 2: Howather I do.
3:16
Speaker 4: I wanted to say this.
3:18
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's allowed or not, but people
3:22
Speaker 5: did come with receipts, but they did not allow people
3:26
Speaker 5: to show certain receipts.
3:28
Speaker 3: That's a hot take, Lauren, Yeah, you know that.
3:32
Speaker 4: I know this happened.
3:33
Speaker 5: And they said like certain people were allowed to show
3:36
Speaker 5: screenshots and others were not.
3:38
Speaker 3: Now I wonder if is it screenshots that they were
3:41
Speaker 3: allowed to show because they were their own, or this
3:44
Speaker 3: is possibly getting into defamation kind of territory and they
3:49
Speaker 3: just didn't push through that.
3:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know the specifics on that.
3:52
Speaker 5: I feel like some people were just like I wasn't
3:54
Speaker 5: able to show my receipts, but others were. It probably
3:58
Speaker 5: could be what you're saying, but I think they're may
4:00
Speaker 5: have been playing favorites on that stage.
4:02
Speaker 2: True, before Lauren and I dive into the breakdown of this,
4:05
Speaker 2: because I do find the reunion fascinating and I want
4:11
Speaker 2: to dive in a little bit more of the stuff
4:12
Speaker 2: you said, Heather, but we'll do it when you're out
4:14
Speaker 2: of here. One of the questions I had for you was,
4:18
Speaker 2: you know you mentioned reunions are three parts, there's usually
4:22
Speaker 2: some filler moments. Do you think that Bravo said, we're
4:26
Speaker 2: not having any filler moments because we don't need it,
4:29
Speaker 2: Like this is all so like it's so much that
4:31
Speaker 2: we can't fill anymore.
4:33
Speaker 3: No, I think you could definitely find filler moments. You
4:36
Speaker 3: could find the blooper, the funny stuff. There's clearly on
4:40
Speaker 3: air to see that. Yeah, there's clearly unaired scenes. We
4:43
Speaker 3: got one of those in this reunion. I'm sure they've
4:46
Speaker 3: got loads more that they could show us. I think
4:49
Speaker 3: it's just I think it's just being a season one.
4:52
Speaker 3: I would not be shocked if season two you get
4:54
Speaker 3: a three part reunion. I think that it's just being
4:58
Speaker 3: a freshman season that they maybe aren't giving that whole
5:02
Speaker 3: thing to them.
5:03
Speaker 5: Were there more fights in this franchise than other ones
5:06
Speaker 5: you've seen?
5:08
Speaker 4: Or is it pretty on par?
5:09
Speaker 3: No, it's pretty on par I would say that, and
5:14
Speaker 3: a lot of Bravo fans can attest to this. What
5:17
Speaker 3: ends up happening on some of the franchises is one
5:22
Speaker 3: storyline ends up being the talk of the entire season.
5:26
Speaker 3: As a personal Housewives fan, I hate that. Yeah, I
5:31
Speaker 3: love It sounds crazy to say, I love lots of
5:34
Speaker 3: little fights throughout a whole season.
5:37
Speaker 2: That is much more fighting, more fighting.
5:39
Speaker 3: About different things. And that's why I used to love
5:42
Speaker 3: New York so much because every time you tuned into
5:44
Speaker 3: New York, there was a different fight happening. Now this
5:47
Speaker 3: was before the recasting. That's how that show was. But
5:50
Speaker 3: like Beverly Hills in recent seasons, has been like one
5:53
Speaker 3: thing that happens over the entire season, which is a
5:56
Speaker 3: snoozefest to me. Or you have things like in Salt
5:59
Speaker 3: Lake that happened where it was like what happened on
6:01
Speaker 3: the plane? There was a giant fight on the plane,
6:03
Speaker 3: but there's no footage. But all we're talking about for
6:06
Speaker 3: the rest of the season is the fight on the plane,
6:08
Speaker 3: and there's no footage. So it's like, you also don't
6:10
Speaker 3: want to get into that dynamic where we're fighting about
6:13
Speaker 3: something that the audience has never seen and is never
6:16
Speaker 3: going to see. So that's why I kind of loved
6:20
Speaker 3: Rhode Island. We got to see it all, We got
6:22
Speaker 3: to experience it all, and there was lots of different
6:26
Speaker 3: things to follow.
6:27
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I love that too.
6:29
Speaker 5: They didn't be any situation to the ground. I think
6:32
Speaker 5: the homelessness thing maybe well a little bit too much
6:34
Speaker 5: for me.
6:35
Speaker 3: I was just about to say that Lauren the bar
6:37
Speaker 3: ride from Hell, I'm over that story of long right after.
6:40
Speaker 4: This because it doesn't make sense.
6:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also just like it's a feeling, right Like
6:45
Speaker 3: they're fighting over somebody's feeling. So there's never going to
6:48
Speaker 3: be resolution to that because you're just talking about how
6:51
Speaker 3: she feels one way, you see it another way. You know,
6:54
Speaker 3: it's not an actual situation that they were both experiencing. Together. Oh,
7:00
Speaker 3: they're always going to have differing opinions. Yeah, I think that.
7:04
Speaker 3: What really perked my ears up was that police report chat.
7:08
Speaker 3: I literally went ooh, I which, ben's really exciting. When
7:12
Speaker 3: the girlies start to fight, I go ooh when I'm
7:17
Speaker 3: that one perked me up. And then there was no
7:20
Speaker 3: proof and neither of them had seen it, and I
7:23
Speaker 3: was just like, no, ladies, this is not how we
7:26
Speaker 3: do this.
7:26
Speaker 4: That is defamation for real.
7:28
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, okay, guys, I can't wait to hear what
7:31
Speaker 3: you have to say.
7:32
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you so much for your inside.
7:44
Speaker 2: All right, Lauren, you ready to dive in?
7:46
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I'm very excited.
7:48
Speaker 2: Let's start with the looks. Can we start with the looks?
7:51
Speaker 5: Sure?
7:51
Speaker 4: So fun?
7:53
Speaker 2: Well, anybody stand out to you specifically looking like great?
8:01
Speaker 5: Well? I thought Liz's outfit was very cool. That's more
8:03
Speaker 5: like my esthetic, kind of very ethereal, kind of goes
8:08
Speaker 5: against her rough personality. Other than that, I mean, Kelsey
8:14
Speaker 5: looked amazing. I loved her dress, also very much my style. Honestly,
8:18
Speaker 5: everyone looked great. Would you think I.
8:19
Speaker 2: Thought everybody looked great? They look stunnying. It's very Rhode
8:22
Speaker 2: Island coastal theme like blues and you know these bright colors.
8:27
Speaker 2: This set looked really cool. I really loved when they
8:30
Speaker 2: were showing off the set and how they made that happen.
8:33
Speaker 2: They filmed this in Rhode Island, it seemed because they
8:36
Speaker 2: welcomed Andy to Rhode Island. Is that true?
8:39
Speaker 4: I think they filmed it in New York.
8:41
Speaker 2: But they were welcoming in because it looked like Rhode
8:44
Speaker 2: Island inside. Correct, correct, Yeah, that's good. I had a
8:47
Speaker 2: question about that because I thought I remembered actually going
8:49
Speaker 2: to New York, and then I forget who it was.
8:52
Speaker 2: It said, hey, Andy, welcome to Rhode Island. I said, oh,
8:54
Speaker 2: they they did this there, but it just the set
8:57
Speaker 2: felt very Rhode Island vibish.
9:00
Speaker 4: It was more welcome to Rhode Island, bitch.
9:02
Speaker 5: That's kind of yeah what it was? Yeah, Yes, everyone
9:05
Speaker 5: looked great. Uh and Rula obviously the elephant in the room,
9:08
Speaker 5: which they had to address up front, was her new face.
9:12
Speaker 2: It looked good.
9:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it looks great.
9:15
Speaker 5: It needs time to settle for real, like it happened
9:19
Speaker 5: like a week before.
9:20
Speaker 2: I'm not a big plastic surgery fan. I don't like,
9:23
Speaker 2: I don't hate against it. If you were to tell me, hey,
9:25
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go do this, I'd say you've you know,
9:28
Speaker 2: you've made that decision. I would never encourage it or say, hey,
9:33
Speaker 2: somebody needs to do this right. But once it's done,
9:36
Speaker 2: it's done. And I saw her walk in, and honestly,
9:40
Speaker 2: I've watched every episode. I don't maybe this is just me.
9:44
Speaker 2: I don't think I would have known if anything would
9:46
Speaker 2: change with her.
9:47
Speaker 4: You're a crazy person, I might be.
9:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
9:53
Speaker 5: If I wish I didn't know before because Ashley told me,
9:56
Speaker 5: but because I was writy, But I would have screamed
10:00
Speaker 5: when I saw her for the first time because it
10:01
Speaker 5: was like, oh, she looks so different. I think she
10:04
Speaker 5: looks so good, and so I'm happy that she is
10:06
Speaker 5: happy too. I'm sure she, like she said, it's been
10:09
Speaker 5: weighing on her for years and years and years, and
10:10
Speaker 5: I'm sure watching herself back from different angles, like, all right,
10:13
Speaker 5: this needs to happen immediately.
10:15
Speaker 2: That makes sense, does Andy? Do you know? If Andy?
10:18
Speaker 2: He does? He was a great host during this. He
10:21
Speaker 2: is calm, He's collected, he knows what to say and
10:24
Speaker 2: how to say. I'm understanding the Andy like hype through
10:30
Speaker 2: this he's perfect for this job. He acts like he
10:32
Speaker 2: cares just enough, but really doesn't care at all. He
10:35
Speaker 2: almost just is apathetic to the response and more direct
10:41
Speaker 2: with like what's normal behavior and what's not. He like
10:45
Speaker 2: calls out people yes in a very like if you,
10:50
Speaker 2: almost like condescending way, but it's not mean spirited. It's like, hey,
10:54
Speaker 2: that's wild that you did that.
10:56
Speaker 5: Like for sure, this dark Lord, I'm gonna keep saying
11:00
Speaker 5: in the dark Lord. He kind of says things in
11:02
Speaker 5: a way that you really want him to like you too,
11:05
Speaker 5: Like everyone wants to be Andy's favorite, and if you
11:09
Speaker 5: get him on your side, then your golden it. And
11:11
Speaker 5: so like the way he's kind of like snarky about
11:13
Speaker 5: it is like, oh, I need him to like me.
11:14
Speaker 4: I need his validation.
11:16
Speaker 2: That's funny.
11:17
Speaker 5: That's how I would feel if I met him and
11:19
Speaker 5: he was like critiquing everything I did on Housewives, Like
11:21
Speaker 5: I would probably go above and beyond dramatic to have
11:24
Speaker 5: him like me the most.
11:26
Speaker 2: He doesn't. He doesn't. I've never seen this done in
11:29
Speaker 2: kind of a live show. He goes around, he just
11:31
Speaker 2: says hi to each person and then asks them a
11:35
Speaker 2: very generic question based on the season storylines. Yeah, it
11:40
Speaker 2: was an It's an interesting production move for him to
11:43
Speaker 2: say warm up. Yeah, like let me get into this, Hi, Ashley,
11:47
Speaker 2: are you crying?
11:49
Speaker 1: Hi?
11:49
Speaker 2: Rula like how's Brian? Like all these things and you're like, whoa, Okay.
11:55
Speaker 2: Everyone looked great. Ashly looked fantastic. To be honest, I
11:59
Speaker 2: don't know if we'll talk about Ashley again through this episode.
12:03
Speaker 5: I know, I know, I'm trying to think. There was
12:06
Speaker 5: like one thing she said. It always looked like she
12:09
Speaker 5: was trying to say something, but the girls were cutting
12:11
Speaker 5: her off throughout.
12:13
Speaker 2: She just was silent. Her like little quiet comments were great.
12:18
Speaker 2: It's kind of her role all season is to be
12:21
Speaker 2: the quiet, like quiet commentator for us. You can tell
12:26
Speaker 2: and then this is kind of what the conversation about, Ashley,
12:29
Speaker 2: I want to have with you before we kick this off.
12:31
Speaker 2: You knew her kind of mindset going into it. Did
12:36
Speaker 2: Ashley like believe this was going to be a kind
12:40
Speaker 2: reunion where they came together again or did she expect
12:43
Speaker 2: it to be a complete mess? Because it felt like
12:47
Speaker 2: the mess almost overwhelmed her. She was sitting there going,
12:51
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, like can we stop? Can we just not?
12:53
Speaker 2: Why are we still talking about this kind of stuff.
12:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think she knew it was gonna be a mess,
12:59
Speaker 5: because the girls are talking about throughout the season, like
13:02
Speaker 5: just wait for the reunion, just wait for the reunion.
13:04
Speaker 5: I have this, I have that, So she knew it
13:06
Speaker 5: was going to be a bloodbath. I think that she
13:09
Speaker 5: was hoping to have more to get a word in
13:14
Speaker 5: a little bit more between the fights, to like show
13:17
Speaker 5: some kind of like stability and common sense. But obviously
13:20
Speaker 5: it didn't really work like that, And I don't think
13:25
Speaker 5: she was able to to like what calmed the fire,
13:29
Speaker 5: whatever you say, because she wanted to say certain things.
13:32
Speaker 4: Like oh no, but like remember this, remember this.
13:35
Speaker 5: No, no one was listening to Rationale that day, So
13:38
Speaker 5: I think she knew it.
13:39
Speaker 4: Was gonna be terrible.
13:41
Speaker 2: We're going to get into the individual fights that were discussed, Yeah,
13:45
Speaker 2: but it did feel like people came in wanting to
13:49
Speaker 2: rehash these fights without a memory of the good times. Ashley.
13:56
Speaker 2: I think once the good times, she wants to be like, yeah,
13:58
Speaker 2: but you remember the night we all stayed up late
14:00
Speaker 2: at the mansion and we talked over drinks about you know,
14:03
Speaker 2: high school crushes. How sweet was that? But it didn't
14:07
Speaker 2: feel like anybody else wanted that Lange. They they came
14:12
Speaker 2: in ready to break down any healing and forgiveness that
14:18
Speaker 2: had taken place.
14:19
Speaker 3: Yeah.
14:20
Speaker 5: I mean a reminder is they all watched the season back.
14:23
Speaker 5: They all saw everyone's confessionals where they're so mean, So
14:26
Speaker 5: then they're they're ready to fight with each other, like
14:29
Speaker 5: there's some mean thing said in confessionals that no one
14:32
Speaker 5: thought they thought of them, like even.
14:38
Speaker 4: Like what was it like? Even like Alicia says some
14:40
Speaker 4: mean things.
14:40
Speaker 5: Oh, I guess like Joellen is ruthless and her confessionals too, so.
14:44
Speaker 4: That people are coming for Joellen.
14:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, the individual fights like they obviously go out with
14:49
Speaker 5: Kelsey and Rosie, which I don't even think we need
14:52
Speaker 5: to talk about anymore.
14:53
Speaker 4: There's not gonna be friends. They don't like each other.
14:56
Speaker 5: The craziest thing was that Joelle and Kelsey came together
15:00
Speaker 5: and accuse Rosie again of breaking up a marriage and
15:03
Speaker 5: sleeping with a married coach, which we've talked about before.
15:07
Speaker 5: And they said that there was a police report that
15:10
Speaker 5: that ru not Rula, not Kelsey, that Rosie was in
15:13
Speaker 5: the car with him, and I just don't believe this
15:15
Speaker 5: at all. Do you believe it at all.
15:17
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, police reports are public records, so the
15:20
Speaker 2: slewthers out there are gonna find it if it's true.
15:24
Speaker 5: The reason I don't think it's true is because Rosie
15:27
Speaker 5: wouldn't be stupid enough to say it's so not true.
15:31
Speaker 5: And she doesn't even know him. If there was a
15:33
Speaker 5: report out there, all she would have to say was like, yeah,
15:35
Speaker 5: I worked with him and I was in his car,
15:38
Speaker 5: if she knew this report was gonna come out, So
15:40
Speaker 5: she can't be that stupid.
15:42
Speaker 2: And I think you would know because I feel like
15:44
Speaker 2: a friend like Ashley, Rosie would reach out to be
15:48
Speaker 2: like Ashley, this is gonna be bad. Mm hmm, Like
15:52
Speaker 2: it's not. I didn't sleep with him, but like as
15:54
Speaker 2: you said, I was in his car. It doesn't look good.
15:58
Speaker 2: There is, you know, documentation of this. But if that's
16:01
Speaker 2: not happening, I don't believe it to be true. Which
16:03
Speaker 2: is a great spot to kick off Lauren, because there's
16:06
Speaker 2: a lot of hearsay and there's a lot of sticking
16:08
Speaker 2: to the lack of facts without having an ability to listen, understand, forgive,
16:17
Speaker 2: and to learn it's it almost I'll say this and
16:21
Speaker 2: again probably get in trouble. Is this a Rhode Island
16:26
Speaker 2: personality where I don't care if I'm wrong. I'm going
16:30
Speaker 2: to die on this hill of being wrong and you're
16:32
Speaker 2: not going to prove me any other way. I'm going
16:35
Speaker 2: to believe the story. I believe, And it's almost like
16:39
Speaker 2: Liz's comment early in the season. It's like I've never
16:41
Speaker 2: been wrong. It's like, well, that's that's not true.
16:45
Speaker 5: So true. I was just going to say. It kind
16:47
Speaker 5: of reminds me just of Liz all over. I would
16:50
Speaker 5: say this is a Rhode Island trait, but I don't
16:54
Speaker 5: think Jared does this. I think Jared owns up to
16:56
Speaker 5: his mistake, so I can't view a blanket Rhode Island
17:00
Speaker 5: personality trait. But yeah, no, one's like being like, oh,
17:05
Speaker 5: actually Liz does this once, which is shocking because she
17:08
Speaker 5: was the one who said that she never makes a mistake.
17:10
Speaker 5: But she did say I was out of line there
17:13
Speaker 5: when I pulled your hair and I just want on
17:15
Speaker 5: g away, and I was like, whoa Liz taking accountability?
17:18
Speaker 5: So we love to see it there. That was the
17:20
Speaker 5: only accountability we saw the whole time.
17:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, so, as you said, we start with
17:26
Speaker 2: the Kelsey and Rosie scenario actually does stand up for
17:28
Speaker 2: Rosie and says, hey, you know, she's a good friend
17:33
Speaker 2: to me. We get into the whole idea that actually
17:37
Speaker 2: doesn't hang out the rest of the group. That doesn't
17:39
Speaker 2: really get spread any further because I think Ashley says,
17:43
Speaker 2: I would love to hang out with you guys, you
17:45
Speaker 2: just don't ask me or Hey, different places in life,
17:48
Speaker 2: and the way I hang out with Rosie is a
17:50
Speaker 2: way that none of you wouldn't want to hang out.
17:52
Speaker 2: So it's not personal, it's just the way it is.
17:55
Speaker 2: It doesn't really stretch on anymore. At this point, Ashley
17:59
Speaker 2: is kind of removed from at least part one's drama.
18:01
Speaker 2: She becomes a bystander, a commentator. We do continue on
18:07
Speaker 2: with the Rosie Kelsey thing. I'm with you, it's done,
18:10
Speaker 2: it is, and I think it's this is a good
18:12
Speaker 2: spot to turn it to. I have a list of
18:14
Speaker 2: the individual fights here. It's the same thing. I did
18:17
Speaker 2: not think Alisha saying that she was homeless. Alisha going
18:23
Speaker 2: into that she was without a home was going to
18:27
Speaker 2: be a storyline during the reunion because it always felt like,
18:31
Speaker 2: as Heather said, it was feelings and it's revisionist history.
18:36
Speaker 2: It's looking back and remembering things a certain way and
18:38
Speaker 2: your friends going that's not the case. Liz even says
18:42
Speaker 2: like I was trying to protect you. I maybe went
18:44
Speaker 2: overboard there, but I look back and I was just
18:46
Speaker 2: trying to have your best interest in mind. But then
18:48
Speaker 2: it does kind of start and spiral into this big
18:52
Speaker 2: fight between Liz and joe Ellen. Joellen's involved in a
18:57
Speaker 2: lot of these fights, at least the beginning of this episodisode,
19:00
Speaker 2: it feels like we're getting a like Joellen, Heather said,
19:03
Speaker 2: Rula came into it ready to fight. I actually would
19:06
Speaker 2: say Joellen came into this ready to get her voice heard,
19:10
Speaker 2: because I watched it, goodness, I just watched it two
19:14
Speaker 2: hours ago. I can't remember all the things that they
19:18
Speaker 2: were fighting over because it felt like it was just
19:20
Speaker 2: back and forth all the time.
19:22
Speaker 5: I know, I was getting confused, and I know everything
19:26
Speaker 5: about the show behind the scenes everything. I am getting
19:28
Speaker 5: confused here what are we fighting about? Especially with Alisha
19:32
Speaker 5: and Liz and Joellen in the car and they were saying, yes,
19:37
Speaker 5: that was an ambush, and I'm like, I don't how
19:41
Speaker 5: could this be an ambush if you were in the
19:43
Speaker 5: same like, is this just them trying not to break
19:46
Speaker 5: the fourth ball and saying like, the producers wanted you
19:49
Speaker 5: to talk about the homelessness again. And then Liz is
19:54
Speaker 5: basically saying to Alisha, why would you ever agree to
19:57
Speaker 5: them agree to talk about the homeless again if you
20:00
Speaker 5: know what's going to make me look bad? And then
20:02
Speaker 5: they continue talking about it. Is that what I'm getting here?
20:04
Speaker 5: I don't understand this fight very much.
20:06
Speaker 2: It sounds like it was a you know, if you've
20:10
Speaker 2: been on Bachelor in Paradise, Absolutely, it sounds like it
20:14
Speaker 2: sounds like a producer sending a text being like, hey,
20:16
Speaker 2: in the car, I would love for you guys to
20:18
Speaker 2: talk about this. And then obviously they're all friends and
20:20
Speaker 2: they voice messaged each other and said, hey, we're going
20:23
Speaker 2: to talk about this, and so they talk about it
20:26
Speaker 2: and then it spirals out of control. Based on this
20:29
Speaker 2: conversation being rehashed, the fight between Liz and Joellen was
20:33
Speaker 2: never about Alicia's comments at the mansion. It was always
20:37
Speaker 2: about something else that felt like.
20:39
Speaker 5: Do you think that the audience, like not knowing any
20:41
Speaker 5: background of reality TV, could understand that That's what Liz
20:45
Speaker 5: was trying to say.
20:46
Speaker 2: It doesn't really matter to me, Lauren, and I've always
20:49
Speaker 2: held this stance because even if a producer tells you, hey,
20:54
Speaker 2: talk about it, it's your decision on how you talk
20:58
Speaker 2: about it and how far you let it go and
21:00
Speaker 2: what you let it spiral into. It's fine if a
21:03
Speaker 2: producer is like, hey, guys, just a memory here. You
21:07
Speaker 2: know last week, you guys we were talking about this.
21:12
Speaker 2: I would love for you guys talk about the car
21:14
Speaker 2: like it's totally fine. Yeah, But it means that it
21:19
Speaker 2: could be done in a soft way. It means it
21:21
Speaker 2: could have been done in a way that brought togetherness.
21:24
Speaker 2: The point is it didn't that Joellen and Liz ended
21:28
Speaker 2: up going directly at each other and then directly at
21:31
Speaker 2: each other again during the reunion. That just because the
21:34
Speaker 2: topic was brought up, it doesn't mean it has to
21:38
Speaker 2: lead to anger or mean words.
21:43
Speaker 5: Do you think that these voice notes that they never
21:46
Speaker 5: showed us are maybe Joellen and Alicia and Liz all
21:51
Speaker 5: saying and agreeing, we'll talk about it, but we'll just
21:54
Speaker 5: squash it really quick and not make a whole thing
21:56
Speaker 5: out of it.
21:57
Speaker 4: And it turned to be the opposite way.
21:58
Speaker 2: Would I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, I think so.
22:01
Speaker 5: I needed to talk that out because I was like,
22:03
Speaker 5: I don't know what the heck is going on over here.
22:05
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah I don't. I think that would probably be
22:08
Speaker 2: the path. And then it turned ugly, and it did
22:11
Speaker 2: turn ugly, and it feels like there's a residual dislike
22:17
Speaker 2: after this conversation. Joellen during this whole show is very
22:24
Speaker 2: much standing her ground on the decision she made throughout
22:28
Speaker 2: the season, and this not shocking me. In the same breath,
22:32
Speaker 2: so is Liz. Liz at one point here feels like
22:36
Speaker 2: she's been proven wrong in some of her takes and
22:40
Speaker 2: again is just not able to admit it. She resorts
22:44
Speaker 2: to calm people crazy Alisha for example, you know, calling
22:49
Speaker 2: saying that no, she loves Alicia, like she loves to
22:53
Speaker 2: laugh at her, like she pretty much was like, yeah,
22:56
Speaker 2: you're you. I always will laugh when I'm around you
22:58
Speaker 2: because of the things you say. And it felt like
23:01
Speaker 2: we were getting a different side of list. This is
23:03
Speaker 2: not the Liz that's the leader, not the Liz that
23:06
Speaker 2: is the strong personality, Not the Liz that is, you know,
23:10
Speaker 2: the host of the parties and the wealthy one from
23:12
Speaker 2: the group. It felt, at least during the reunion, that
23:16
Speaker 2: we got a side of Liz that I hadn't seen
23:19
Speaker 2: all season. It was almost a I'm gonna get defensive,
23:24
Speaker 2: and when I get defensive, I get mean and personal.
23:28
Speaker 4: Mm hm.
23:29
Speaker 5: And you can almost see that in her posture, like
23:32
Speaker 5: she was like slinking down taking hits of her vape
23:36
Speaker 5: like kind of just looked like she gave up on
23:38
Speaker 5: a lot of this, like she's like, I'm stating on
23:40
Speaker 5: my ground and I'm mean, and I'm saying all these
23:42
Speaker 5: mean things and I don't really care anymore. There is
23:44
Speaker 5: talk through the grapevine that she is probably not going
23:48
Speaker 5: to be returning for season two because she's so over
23:50
Speaker 5: it and she doesn't like need this drama. Yeah, and
23:54
Speaker 5: I could see that. I mean, she's she said, she's
23:57
Speaker 5: the oldest one there. She already feels out of place,
24:00
Speaker 5: and maybe she's like this isn't worth it. This is
24:01
Speaker 5: ruining like a friendship that I've had with Alisha. But
24:05
Speaker 5: then also what I noticed was when Liz walked in,
24:08
Speaker 5: Alicia goes, there's the Queen Bee, and it's like, ooh,
24:10
Speaker 5: that was like really snarky of Alicia.
24:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't do you think Alicia knows
24:17
Speaker 2: she's being snarky though.
24:18
Speaker 5: Actually, great question. I don't think so. But it was like,
24:22
Speaker 5: Liz think she's the leader, I guess.
24:25
Speaker 2: And in a lot of ways she is. She brings
24:27
Speaker 2: off that vibe throughout the whole season. I think she
24:30
Speaker 2: is the one that intimidates the group. She is the
24:33
Speaker 2: one that if I would imagine if she sends a
24:35
Speaker 2: group text out to everybody and says, hey, show up
24:38
Speaker 2: to my house and at five pm everybody would be there,
24:41
Speaker 2: whereas if Joellen did that, I don't know if anybody
24:44
Speaker 2: would go, or maybe whoever was free and not had
24:47
Speaker 2: other plans. It does seem like Liz holds some sort
24:51
Speaker 2: of power over this show right now. I'd be shocked
24:56
Speaker 2: if she doesn't come back. I think, especially with the
24:58
Speaker 2: launch of her gummy, I would imagine that this show
25:02
Speaker 2: is probably going to be helpful.
25:04
Speaker 4: We'll see. I don't know.
25:05
Speaker 5: It's not looking great. But we did see Liz in
25:08
Speaker 5: Rula fight, which they didn't really do in the whole season,
25:13
Speaker 5: because Rula came to fight, I guess during the reunion
25:19
Speaker 5: and she said that Rula said that she saw Liz
25:23
Speaker 5: like cheat on?
25:25
Speaker 2: Is it?
25:25
Speaker 4: Gary or Jerry that thing.
25:28
Speaker 5: It's Jerry, Jerry, right, Jerry, I don't like years ago
25:31
Speaker 5: or something. And I don't know why Rula would bring
25:34
Speaker 5: that up in the situation that she's in, right, Why
25:37
Speaker 5: would that matter?
25:39
Speaker 1: You know?
25:39
Speaker 2: It's I'm I'm really intrigued by a Part two, Lauren,
25:42
Speaker 2: because you make a great point. Rula was very defensive
25:46
Speaker 2: this whole time, pointing fingers at everybody else for their
25:48
Speaker 2: extra marital, you know, conquests, and it almost feels like
25:55
Speaker 2: they're I'm wondering there's really two options here. I think
25:58
Speaker 2: either Rula gets straight confronted with a truth that Brian
26:03
Speaker 2: has not been loyal to her, that he has not
26:06
Speaker 2: only tracked her car, which I don't know how that's
26:08
Speaker 2: not a bigger thing to her, but has also, you know,
26:13
Speaker 2: stepped out on her consistently with this mistress. But it
26:18
Speaker 2: feels like Rula showed up to this saying, hey, you
26:20
Speaker 2: want to point fingers at me, I'm going to point
26:21
Speaker 2: fingers at all of you. Even if these things we
26:27
Speaker 2: want to point fingers at have been healed between marriages,
26:30
Speaker 2: like Jerry and Liz. Liz says, hey, Jerry knows about this.
26:33
Speaker 2: We were separate. He knows what went on. This is
26:36
Speaker 2: not even an issue. I don't know why we're talking
26:38
Speaker 2: about it. Like, if you want to embarrass me, cool,
26:40
Speaker 2: embarrass me, but this isn't a thing. And then you know,
26:43
Speaker 2: we go into Joellen and all this kind of like
26:48
Speaker 2: rulis standing up during this thing. I was wild getting
26:52
Speaker 2: really mad at Joellen. I I think we have igine.
26:58
Speaker 2: You tell me if I'm wrong. I would imagine that
27:00
Speaker 2: we have to take into perspective how hard this has
27:02
Speaker 2: been on Rula personally and her relationship, and so she
27:05
Speaker 2: came into this thinking and I don't think it's his
27:08
Speaker 2: healthy behavior. But the only way to make this better
27:11
Speaker 2: is to make everybody else feel worse.
27:12
Speaker 5: You know, it's such a childish way to look at it.
27:16
Speaker 5: I wonder if Brian like did lots of research for
27:19
Speaker 5: Rula to have ammunition for the stage to almost like
27:22
Speaker 5: him better.
27:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would. I would to put it past him.
27:26
Speaker 2: That would be crazy.
27:27
Speaker 4: I know.
27:28
Speaker 5: I'm so excited for next week when he comes on stage.
27:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the previews look like he just gets
27:34
Speaker 2: absolutely destroyed.
27:37
Speaker 4: I'm so excited.
27:39
Speaker 2: Starting with Jared being like you gotta tell her Man like,
27:41
Speaker 2: this is crazy.
27:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, the only way to start is to have a
27:45
Speaker 5: clean slate if you want to stand this marriage.
27:48
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, okay.
27:50
Speaker 5: So Jerry, uh Jared, the whole thing squashed and stupid.
27:54
Speaker 2: I don't know.
27:55
Speaker 5: And then Rula wants to bring out receipts and it
27:57
Speaker 5: seems like Andy's very annoyed when Rula says, Andy, I
28:01
Speaker 5: have receipts to show you or whatever.
28:04
Speaker 4: What was it text?
28:06
Speaker 5: Oh it was it was Brian surgical schedule for the day. Yeah,
28:13
Speaker 5: everything can be doctored. Also, like what what?
28:18
Speaker 2: I love how Andy handles that moment where he's like, hey, yeah,
28:22
Speaker 2: we're taking a little break here, and then he just
28:23
Speaker 2: gets up if you notice, and he's just a pro.
28:26
Speaker 2: He walks out of there, so there's no more conversation
28:28
Speaker 2: that he's a part of. But that commercial break is crazy. There's,
28:33
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of conversations going on all across
28:36
Speaker 2: the room while the break is happening. And I love
28:39
Speaker 2: how they just kept rolling. We never really had a break,
28:42
Speaker 2: They just kept rolling. The cameras so good.
28:44
Speaker 4: That's where the best stuff happens.
28:47
Speaker 5: That's when when Rula was like Joelleen stop stop, and
28:51
Speaker 5: she's like, did you think I was going to stop
28:53
Speaker 5: for the reunion, You're crazy, And then she's right, She's right.
28:56
Speaker 5: I grew with her.
29:07
Speaker 2: So at this point, we're kind of halfway through the episode.
29:10
Speaker 2: We've had a lot of bickering back and forth. Again,
29:14
Speaker 2: we've pretty much gone through each episode's storylines. We have
29:18
Speaker 2: the Kelsey Rosie scenario, we have Liz and Rula, we
29:24
Speaker 2: have a Joellen confrontation. Joellen's actually says that this has
29:28
Speaker 2: not been good for her and her mom, that her
29:31
Speaker 2: mom is really hurt by watching the season badly.
29:34
Speaker 4: Why did I miss that?
29:35
Speaker 2: And said that her mom is saying, hey, if you
29:37
Speaker 2: say anything bad about me during the reunion, like I'll
29:39
Speaker 2: stop watching your kids, is the comment made. But Joel
29:43
Speaker 2: doesn't really stop, you know, she kind of calls her
29:46
Speaker 2: mom a narcissist, and you know, they have a whole
29:49
Speaker 2: section on her and Rosie bonding over the lack of
29:53
Speaker 2: motherly love that they feel. It's a storyline that hasn't
29:57
Speaker 2: really been shown, and I'm glad it has it. I
29:59
Speaker 2: don't know if I could even get behind watching it's.
30:02
Speaker 4: Like low hanging fruit kind.
30:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just sad too. It's mother daughter like dynamic
30:06
Speaker 2: and it's not playing out well, and there's a lot
30:08
Speaker 2: of hurt and pain that you know, it feels like
30:11
Speaker 2: they kind of confronted but didn't really make up for it.
30:15
Speaker 2: And it almost feels like this whole reunion, Lauren, is
30:17
Speaker 2: that to me where I thought we were moving into
30:20
Speaker 2: season two? In fact, last week I asked you the question,
30:23
Speaker 2: when the world are they going to talk about during
30:25
Speaker 2: season two? I thought so many of these dynamics had
30:29
Speaker 2: been healed, or at least had been had there's been
30:32
Speaker 2: some like understanding of, hey, we're just not going to
30:35
Speaker 2: bring this up anymore. Not to be the case.
30:38
Speaker 5: I know there was an event this week. I don't
30:40
Speaker 5: remember what it was, but like all the girls were
30:42
Speaker 5: there except for Liz and Rula I think, and Ashley
30:45
Speaker 5: was like Rosie and Kelsey can't even like make eye
30:49
Speaker 5: contact in a general direction of each other. Like that's
30:51
Speaker 5: how bad it is after the reunion, So out of
30:55
Speaker 5: season two is just gonna be more of the same shit.
30:57
Speaker 2: I think we saw that like this, these things have
30:59
Speaker 2: not been healed, they have not been forgotten. There is
31:03
Speaker 2: going to be a season two full of new confrontations
31:07
Speaker 2: and new issues, probably amongst the you know, very similar people.
31:13
Speaker 2: Is this how you think most reunions are, Lauren? Do
31:16
Speaker 2: you think most reunions are just like an ambushing of
31:20
Speaker 2: different people and why you know, bringing back memories from
31:24
Speaker 2: months ago.
31:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no like kumbaying at this point. You've just
31:29
Speaker 5: seen everyone talk so much on social media in their confessionals,
31:33
Speaker 5: all the behind the scenes stuff, so I wouldn't expect
31:35
Speaker 5: anything less.
31:36
Speaker 2: The one thing I did feel from this, you know,
31:40
Speaker 2: we've wondered all season what Joe Allen's intentions are when
31:44
Speaker 2: it comes to her continuation of bringing up the Brian scenario.
31:47
Speaker 2: Good for the TV actually would go as far as saying,
31:52
Speaker 2: you know, good for Rula because she's getting some clarity
31:55
Speaker 2: on what her husband's doing. We imagine that Joan was
31:59
Speaker 2: doing it because she likes a little bit to engage
32:01
Speaker 2: into the storylines, but also because she really did care
32:04
Speaker 2: about Rula and went into this season going I'm filming
32:07
Speaker 2: this show with this lady. I think we can be friends.
32:10
Speaker 2: Here's one way that I can help kind of break
32:12
Speaker 2: the ice. Just tell her about her husband's extramarital affairs.
32:17
Speaker 2: They don't like each other now though, like at all.
32:20
Speaker 2: If there's I mean, I understand you saying Rosie and
32:23
Speaker 2: Kelsey can't look at each other. I would go as
32:25
Speaker 2: far as saying Rula and Joel and I like dislike
32:28
Speaker 2: each other more and probably have a harder path to
32:32
Speaker 2: ever having a friendship than Kelsey and Rosie. Yeah, I'm don't.
32:38
Speaker 4: I don't know Rula personally.
32:39
Speaker 5: I know Ashley's like really good friends with Rola and
32:42
Speaker 5: she likes her and all that stuff, But like it's
32:44
Speaker 5: just it's really hard to be on Rula's side during
32:48
Speaker 5: all of this and not be on joel in'side when
32:51
Speaker 5: everything I see from Joel and is it kind of
32:53
Speaker 5: makes sense to me, like you're just trying to gather
32:55
Speaker 5: information and tell someone they're being manipulated. But everyone's calling
33:00
Speaker 5: Joellen the devil, like they're literally saying she's the devil.
33:04
Speaker 5: But I haven't seen anything of that except for when
33:07
Speaker 5: Rula calls out Joellen for how she got laid off,
33:13
Speaker 5: and there is a lot behind that, and I'm surprised
33:16
Speaker 5: they didn't get into it more.
33:18
Speaker 4: I think they had other fish to fry.
33:19
Speaker 5: But like Joellen has like sued the company that she
33:24
Speaker 5: used to work for, and there's like a lot of
33:27
Speaker 5: legal stuff there and everything seen.
33:29
Speaker 2: Is this allegedly or is this like actually true?
33:32
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm sure we can find we can I'm
33:34
Speaker 5: sure we can find the legal process of it. I'm
33:36
Speaker 5: sure it's not alleged. But I'm gonna stay allegedly. She's
33:42
Speaker 5: the company she used to work for. It's like she's
33:45
Speaker 5: done a lot of wrong and no one's like bringing
33:48
Speaker 5: it up. They're just calling from the devil and we
33:49
Speaker 5: have nothing to back it up.
33:51
Speaker 2: As the viewers, Yeah, we're just hearing. I mean, really
33:56
Speaker 2: as entertaining as their union was, we do just have
33:58
Speaker 2: a lot of people saying a lot of things without
34:00
Speaker 2: proof of any of it exactly.
34:03
Speaker 4: I think they may show us the video, Brian.
34:06
Speaker 2: I think maybe, oh goodness, that's a good preview.
34:09
Speaker 4: Maybe I can only hope.
34:12
Speaker 2: I can only hope that that would be fun. I
34:16
Speaker 2: would raise some lie. I just I wanted to see
34:19
Speaker 2: a moment where one of these strong willed personalities were
34:23
Speaker 2: proven wrong, honestly, because there's two sides to every single
34:27
Speaker 2: one of these conversations. There's a right and the wrong.
34:29
Speaker 2: And I don't really care who it was. It'd just
34:31
Speaker 2: be nice at some point for the viewers. I think
34:34
Speaker 2: to be like, oh, that wasn't real, or that's not true.
34:38
Speaker 2: That person now has to go apologize, or if they
34:41
Speaker 2: don't apologize, what does that say about them? We don't
34:44
Speaker 2: get that. We just get a lot of like bickering
34:47
Speaker 2: and saying I know it to be true, and you're
34:50
Speaker 2: another person saying no, it's not. And then that's it.
34:53
Speaker 2: It's really every scenario. There's not one memory of this
34:56
Speaker 2: episode moreen that I remember somebody going oh, actually, you're right.
35:01
Speaker 3: Yeah.
35:01
Speaker 5: The closest we get to that is when Kelsey calls
35:05
Speaker 5: Ashley out for not hanging out with the group, and
35:06
Speaker 5: then she explains why, and then she's like, yeah, I
35:08
Speaker 5: guess I guess it's true.
35:10
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I guess I guess I haven't invited you anywhere,
35:13
Speaker 2: so I can't really be that mad about it.
35:15
Speaker 4: Correct? Correct?
35:16
Speaker 2: Do you want to? And that's like a very awkward
35:19
Speaker 2: moment where she's like, well do you want to hang out?
35:20
Speaker 2: And they're like yeah, okay, let's move on.
35:23
Speaker 5: Like that was so awkward, and I felt kind of
35:25
Speaker 5: bad because Ashley, what is ashly supposed to know even
35:28
Speaker 5: though she probably doesn't want to, but but and Rosie's
35:32
Speaker 5: sitting right there It's like, what do you do? And
35:33
Speaker 5: Rosie was like, you can do what you want. You're
35:35
Speaker 5: an adult. And then it's also like, well now I
35:36
Speaker 5: feel bad for even saying I would hang out with
35:39
Speaker 5: our guy.
35:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was a weird moment. It was like,
35:42
Speaker 2: very awkward. It was very much of hey, friend, or
35:45
Speaker 2: do you care? And Rosie's like, I don't care, You're
35:47
Speaker 2: an adult. And then like she had to, Ashley asked
35:50
Speaker 2: her permission, which is a nice friend move, but not
35:52
Speaker 2: necessarily when you want to watch on television.
35:54
Speaker 4: It looked like reallypathetic. Yeah, great, did look great again?
36:00
Speaker 2: Great?
36:01
Speaker 3: Uh?
36:02
Speaker 2: You know, we could go through each one of these people,
36:05
Speaker 2: from Rosie to Rula to Liz to Joellen to Alicia
36:10
Speaker 2: to Kelsey to Ashley and remember specific storylines from this season,
36:15
Speaker 2: storylines that are planted in our brains, ones that we
36:21
Speaker 2: have questions about. My hope is Lauren. As we move
36:25
Speaker 2: into you know, episode two of the Reunion, we do
36:29
Speaker 2: start to get some answers because we have the right
36:32
Speaker 2: people involved. We have now the couples, the spouses, the partners,
36:36
Speaker 2: the husbands, the Brians that can respond to some of
36:43
Speaker 2: these accusations. Because outside of Rosy and Kelsey and maybe
36:51
Speaker 2: the Liz joel On thing a little bit. So much
36:54
Speaker 2: of this season has existed around things that are not
36:58
Speaker 2: a part of the cast specifically, but a part of
37:01
Speaker 2: the people that they're living life with. The Brian scenario, yes, yeah,
37:05
Speaker 2: Jared Nodry's right.
37:07
Speaker 4: Yes, the Gary's and the Jerry's.
37:10
Speaker 2: The big house being built for Rosie, like these things
37:14
Speaker 2: are outside. So I'm excited to see the men sit
37:18
Speaker 2: down with them.
37:19
Speaker 4: And that really happens. I think with a housewife.
37:21
Speaker 2: Reunions it doesn't really happen.
37:23
Speaker 5: I don't think it happens that much. And it's just
37:25
Speaker 5: because the men have been the most involved in this
37:28
Speaker 5: season that.
37:29
Speaker 4: They have to have them.
37:30
Speaker 2: I wonder if Dino will show up.
37:32
Speaker 4: Oh, just to make Kelsey very uncomfortable.
37:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, that'd be great, that would be great. I don't
37:37
Speaker 5: think he signed up to do that though. Okay, I
37:41
Speaker 5: just really think I need to do my own saluting
37:43
Speaker 5: and find this police report for Rosie so at least
37:45
Speaker 5: we get one solidified, not true answer, and then.
37:51
Speaker 2: That's homework.
37:52
Speaker 4: I love it. I love it.
37:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got some homework to do.
37:55
Speaker 5: Okay, and then I'll see I'll do that and I'll
37:57
Speaker 5: see if the suing thing was was.
38:00
Speaker 4: Joe Allen, Yeah, then I really.
38:03
Speaker 5: Want to see the surgery thing, although I'll never believe
38:06
Speaker 5: a surgery or schedule from that man.
38:08
Speaker 2: I hope it's a word document that was like Brah home,
38:10
Speaker 2: like at nine o'clock.
38:11
Speaker 4: I and this is Chatchy bet in the corner.
38:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a complete Please fill in at twelve
38:17
Speaker 2: hour surgery day if I'm a podiatrist and make it
38:21
Speaker 2: look like a schedule.
38:22
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly.
38:23
Speaker 2: That would be my question for chat Lauren Previews for
38:26
Speaker 2: the next episode. Obviously, the husbands are there. It does
38:29
Speaker 2: look like Brian gets absolutely grilled, and he should I don't.
38:34
Speaker 2: I think he needs to speak up or speak out
38:38
Speaker 2: for Ruler's sake and for you know, really so many
38:42
Speaker 2: of these women who have invested so much into their
38:44
Speaker 2: relationship just because of the show. What else are you
38:47
Speaker 2: looking forward to for the next episode outside of the
38:51
Speaker 2: potential to see the video.
38:53
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm obviously just excited for Andy to point
38:57
Speaker 5: blank ask Brian certain quest Russians that he can't wiggle around,
39:02
Speaker 5: and I think Andy will hold him accountable and in
39:05
Speaker 5: the way that Brian has like word salad when he
39:09
Speaker 5: answers questions and you will not allow that. So I'm
39:11
Speaker 5: excited for that.
39:13
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, nothing's going to be funnier than Andy
39:15
Speaker 2: doing his comments back to Brian when Brian. Brian is
39:20
Speaker 2: just twirling in circles and mumbling and say please speak up, Brian,
39:26
Speaker 2: we can't understand you. That would be gold.
39:29
Speaker 5: So you just said that, We just said that, and
39:31
Speaker 5: then it's just so good. Okay, So I hope that happens.
39:35
Speaker 5: I don't know any of any inside scoop on how
39:38
Speaker 5: much Brian is roasted, but it looks pretty good and
39:41
Speaker 5: obviously excited to see Jared.
39:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jared's going to be looking good. Looks like Jared
39:46
Speaker 2: is also still continuing to be the hospitable one because
39:48
Speaker 2: in the preview it shows him with a bottle of
39:50
Speaker 2: what looks like bourbon or some like rose tequila, pouring
39:55
Speaker 2: drinks for everybody and calling out Brian and saying, you
39:58
Speaker 2: gotta say something, man, good for Jared. Jared's one of
40:03
Speaker 2: a kind here, good business owner, good husband, good father,
40:07
Speaker 2: good man. We love him here. It's almost famous. Podcast Lauren.
