- 0:40Speaker 3: know what Sonia was talking about with you don't brush
- 0:42Speaker 3: your hair.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Your hair looks amazing. The color.

- 0:46Speaker 2: It looks very brushed. Really?
- 0:48Speaker 1: Yes.
- 0:49Speaker 2: It really, really does.
- 0:49Speaker 1: It looks very brushed.
- 0:50Speaker 2: And I'm so excited to be here because I am dying. Well,
- 0:53Speaker 2: you know what?
- 0:53Speaker 1: In Florida, there's so much humidity. So it's like, you know, I,
- 0:57Speaker 1: and I have that kind of hair that just like
- 0:59Speaker 1: the humidity.
- 1:00Speaker 2: I didn't know what she was talking about.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Your hair always looks gorgeous. I think that they, they,
- 1:04Speaker 1: they also like, you know, nod to these comments like,
- 1:07Speaker 1: oh my God, she needs to brush your hair. Yeah.
- 1:09Speaker 1: I'm like, sometimes I don't brush my hair 24 seven.
- 1:11Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm not walking around with a brush like
- 1:13Speaker 1: I'm in high school.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Doing it.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Thank you. You're welcome. My Jen Jen. Thank you.
- 1:17Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:18Speaker 1: So let's get into this. First of all, the golden life.
- 1:20Speaker 1: I mean, I'm so great.
- 1:22Speaker 2: I am loving it.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Every Tuesday night, 10 PM and hours streaming on Hulu.
- 1:27Speaker 2: I know. I believe me.
- 1:28Speaker 3: I know. I've been watching it actually on Hulu. The
- 1:30Speaker 3: third episode just came out. So I cannot wait to
- 1:34Speaker 3: actually watch it, but it is so good for me.
- 1:37Speaker 3: It's like, all of the elements from New York and
- 1:41Speaker 3: that classic feeling of this group of wackos that are
- 1:45Speaker 3: together and crazy. And their antics are so much fun
- 1:49Speaker 3: to watch. I did have a couple of moments of PTSD.
- 1:53Speaker 3: I was, I got like a little scared, like scary
- 1:55Speaker 3: Island started to was.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 1:58Speaker 2: So I got a little, I got, I did get that.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:01Speaker 3: But in general, it's like, I'm being honest. It's like
- 2:04Speaker 3: watching New York, all the best parts of it. even
- 2:08Speaker 3: better watching you guys together again. It's like you didn't
- 2:10Speaker 3: miss a beat.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I mean, it's so crazy because, you know, I started
- 2:14Speaker 1: filming in 2009 and it's the same energy, the same connection.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I'm the same person. I'm always, I mean, like I've
- 2:22Speaker 1: always been the voice of reason. They just didn't want
- 2:24Speaker 1: to show me like that. And it's just, we're the same,
- 2:27Speaker 1: but it's just so connected. And I think that like
- 2:31Speaker 1: genuinely after COVID, like people are starving to, to see
- 2:36Speaker 1: what human connection really looks like. And you can't, you
- 2:40Speaker 1: can't turn the TV off when you watch us. I mean,
- 2:43Speaker 1: I don't watch it.
- 2:43Speaker 3: Personally, I don't, your connections are so wacky to me.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Like I don't even, that's why I love it. Like,
- 2:49Speaker 3: it's like, who are these aliens? How are they speaking
- 2:52Speaker 3: to each other?
- 2:52Speaker 1: It is.
- 2:53Speaker 2: And I love every second of it.
- 2:55Speaker 3: It's so, I remember like back in the day, watching
- 2:58Speaker 3: New York and looking at Ramona and I'd be like,
- 3:00Speaker 3: is she a Martian? How is she talking to people?
- 3:02Speaker 3: I have, you know, who talks to people like this?
- 3:05Speaker 3: But it was, fascinating and so fun to watch. Right.
- 3:08Speaker 2: And it just has not skipped a beat.
- 3:09Speaker 1: And it's interesting because, you know, she worked in the
- 3:11Speaker 1: fashion business and she worked with a lot of men
- 3:14Speaker 1: and we spoke about this and she was just, cause we,
- 3:16Speaker 1: cause I work a lot with a lot of men
- 3:18Speaker 1: and I'm just like, sometimes I'm like, this is a
- 3:20Speaker 1: cakewalk for me being, you know, being on the show
- 3:22Speaker 1: is a cakewalk working in my industry is so tough
- 3:25Speaker 1: working with these very, very aggressive men. And she's like,
- 3:28Speaker 1: I know me too. I had to do that too.
- 3:30Speaker 1: And I was like, Oh my God, we're in the
- 3:31Speaker 1: same boat.
- 3:32Speaker 3: I mean, I see you as very different personality types,
- 3:34Speaker 3: but we can, yeah.
- 3:36Speaker 1: I mean, I don't speak like that to people, but
- 3:39Speaker 1: I do know what it's like to work with men,
- 3:40Speaker 1: and it is not a cakewalk.
- 3:41Speaker 2: I can hear that.
- 3:42Speaker 1: All right, let's get into the golden life. Okay, so
- 3:45Speaker 1: 12 hours later, Luann is still upset because Sonia and
- 3:49Speaker 1: Ramona were dancing with Michael.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
- 3:52Speaker 1: This is so funny, you're going to die. So at lunch,
- 3:55Speaker 1: we're sitting there, and Luann goes... She gave her an inch,
- 3:59Speaker 1: and she took the whole bratwurst.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Yeah, that was good.
- 4:02Speaker 1: That was so good. That was good.
- 4:03Speaker 2: That was very cute.
- 4:05Speaker 3: I have to say, I'm sure it's already been said, damn, Luann,
- 4:09Speaker 3: well done.
- 4:10Speaker 1: I know that was a good one, right?
- 4:13Speaker 2: He is so hot. No, I don't mean the saying.
- 4:15Speaker 2: I mean the man.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Oh, Michael, very nice guy.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Damn, nice.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Very nice, yeah.
- 4:18Speaker 2: About hot AF. I think that's what the kids say.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Jen Fessler.
- 4:23Speaker 2: He is.
- 4:24Speaker 1: That was what the kids say.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Right?
- 4:26Speaker 1: Yeah. But how about Sonia? She's like, she humps everything.
- 4:30Speaker 1: She humps lamps.
- 4:31Speaker 2: I mean. I mean, what? Yeah, I mean, I think
- 4:35Speaker 2: she would say that.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Lamps.
- 4:36Speaker 2: I think she would say that. Like, that's her whole world.
- 4:38Speaker 2: What is she? Eat, sleep, dick or whatever?
- 4:41Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Eat, sleep, dick.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Right.
- 4:44Speaker 1: And then, you know, we're starting to talk a lot
- 4:47Speaker 1: about Sonia and her drinking. And, you know, this is
- 4:50Speaker 1: a big, big, big thing. Narrative in this episode because
- 4:55Speaker 1: we're seeing a lot of drinking, non-drinking, fighting about drinking.
- 5:00Speaker 3: If I'm being honest, I don't see it that it
- 5:03Speaker 3: was a big factor in the episode except for Luann.
- 5:06Speaker 3: I didn't see anybody else seeming that concerned. I feel
- 5:11Speaker 3: like that was kind of fueled by- Luann. And I
- 5:14Speaker 3: was surprised by it only because only knowing that Luann
- 5:18Speaker 3: has had, you know, her own struggles.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Right.
- 5:20Speaker 3: And she seemed very attached to me to, you know,
- 5:24Speaker 3: sort of like outing Sonia. I don't know where that's
- 5:27Speaker 3: coming from.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Right.
- 5:29Speaker 2: But I don't know. I felt like. Why are you, why,
- 5:34Speaker 2: what is, what are you diving into? What do you want?
- 5:36Speaker 2: Almost like, what do you want to discover here?
- 5:37Speaker 1: Right.
- 5:38Speaker 3: So I felt bad for Sonia in terms of that
- 5:40Speaker 3: because clearly, and she's not the only one I can name,
- 5:43Speaker 3: not you, but there are several ladies on the show
- 5:45Speaker 3: who have, you know, had issues with drinking.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Right. And, And they're still drinking.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Right.
- 5:52Speaker 2: So, you know.
- 5:53Speaker 1: You know, I think, too, and you know this, too,
- 5:55Speaker 1: from being on Jersey. Like, you know, you're in this microscope,
- 5:59Speaker 1: under this microscope, and you're in this bubble. And you're
- 6:01Speaker 1: filming every single day. Yeah. Two to three times a day.
- 6:05Speaker 1: And there's always a glass of wine. And, you know,
- 6:08Speaker 1: I found myself in Palm Beach, like, having a glass
- 6:10Speaker 1: of rosé at lunch and dinner. And I started... Like
- 6:14Speaker 1: I was, you see me in the scene, I'm like,
- 6:15Speaker 1: I'll have a piscine, which is literally a red wine
- 6:18Speaker 1: glass with rosé and tons of ice. I had to
- 6:21Speaker 1: dilute it.
- 6:22Speaker 3: That guy was looking at you, by the way. He
- 6:23Speaker 3: was also adorable. Yeah, I'll get you a piscine.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Okay, Kelly.
- 6:29Speaker 1: No, but I literally had to dilute the rosé because
- 6:33Speaker 1: it was just too much. I was just like, we
- 6:34Speaker 1: were drinking, we were drinking, I mean, minimum two glasses.
- 6:39Speaker 2: A day, which- Oh my God, that's not, I'm a drinker.
- 6:42Speaker 2: So like that to me is.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Right, but for me, that's a lot to be drinking.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Like I don't drink at lunch. Like I can't drink
- 6:47Speaker 1: at lunch, but I was drinking at lunch and at
- 6:49Speaker 1: dinner and then we were going for drinks and it
- 6:51Speaker 1: was just like.
- 6:52Speaker 3: Listen, again, I don't, I feel like most of those
- 6:56Speaker 3: women are drinkers. I don't know about Ramona. So I
- 6:59Speaker 3: didn't really get the hook. Like, okay, Sonia's not drinking.
- 7:02Speaker 2: She is drinking. Who gives a shit? She's being drunk.
- 7:04Speaker 2: over the top. She's crazy. She's a mess. That's classic Sonia.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Everyone is here for it.
- 7:10Speaker 3: Right.
- 7:10Speaker 2: You know?
- 7:11Speaker 3: Right.
- 7:11Speaker 1: She's a fun party girl. And we, I mean, we,
- 7:13Speaker 1: she's always been that girl. Do you know what I mean?
- 7:16Speaker 1: And I think that like what happened is that Luann
- 7:18Speaker 1: came from doing all these shows and she flies down
- 7:23Speaker 1: to Palm Beach and she's ready to relax and have
- 7:26Speaker 1: a good time with her friends. And having a couple
- 7:29Speaker 1: of glasses of wine is part of that. And Sonia
- 7:31Speaker 1: was like, I live here. Like, I don't need to
- 7:34Speaker 1: have a glass of wine on a Tuesday. If I
- 7:36Speaker 1: want to, I can, but she doesn't need to. She
- 7:39Speaker 1: was drinking a lot of these mocktails, and then, you know,
- 7:43Speaker 1: who knows?
- 7:44Speaker 2: I'm not saying that she wasn't drinking. I don't judge people.
- 7:46Speaker 1: I'm like, do you?
- 7:47Speaker 2: I'm saying that she wasn't hiding it, you know?
- 7:50Speaker 1: Right.
- 7:50Speaker 3: Because it did look, she was completely fucked up at
- 7:52Speaker 3: that dinner. I had no idea what Sonia was doing,
- 7:55Speaker 3: but she definitely seemed out of her mind. And she
- 7:58Speaker 3: was on a tear, farting on the way to the bathroom.
- 8:03Speaker 3: burping at the table. I mean, it also was kind
- 8:05Speaker 3: of gross and sloppy, but it reminds me of me.
- 8:09Speaker 3: So I, I, you know, I sort of enjoy watching
- 8:12Speaker 3: someone that's not me act like that. I don't fart period.
- 8:15Speaker 3: I can't, if you fart in front of me, our
- 8:17Speaker 3: friendship is over. I have a weird thing with it.
- 8:19Speaker 1: I I'm telling you, I do like smell or is
- 8:22Speaker 1: it like, it's.
- 8:22Speaker 3: Just that I don't want to smell what's inside of you.
- 8:24Speaker 3: I get really pissed. Like you can control it.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Go to the bathroom.
- 8:28Speaker 1: What if people vomit next to you or near you
- 8:31Speaker 1: or around you?
- 8:31Speaker 2: That's less offensive to me.
- 8:33Speaker 1: In all honesty.
- 8:34Speaker 2: I mean, she's so funny.
- 8:35Speaker 3: She's like sticking her finger down her throat with the
- 8:37Speaker 3: cameras and I'm farting.
- 8:40Speaker 2: And I mean, she's just.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Something is happening. It's not coming out this way. It's
- 8:44Speaker 1: not going out that way.
- 8:45Speaker 2: They call me messy fessy. So I relate to this behavior.
- 8:49Speaker 3: But I definitely think that Luann is being hard on
- 8:52Speaker 3: her and trying to out her with the drinking.
- 8:54Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:55Speaker 2: You know?
- 8:56Speaker 1: I think that, again, like I think that Luann is
- 8:57Speaker 1: just like, let's party. And she's not really thinking about
- 9:00Speaker 1: whether it's good for Sonia or not. She's just ready
- 9:02Speaker 1: to party.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't mind her being ready to party.
- 9:05Speaker 3: I just don't know why she's so attached to what
- 9:08Speaker 3: Sonya's doing, whether or not she's drinking. Right.
- 9:10Speaker 1: And I think that's also because there's only five of us.
- 9:13Speaker 1: It's like we're all like laser focused on each other. Laser. Yeah.
- 9:19Speaker 1: I mean, just like constantly, what are you doing? What
- 9:22Speaker 1: are you thinking? What are you wearing? Where are you going?
- 9:24Speaker 1: Why are you talking like that?
- 9:25Speaker 2: Lynn is the only one that seems so focused on that.
- 9:27Speaker 3: Right.
- 9:27Speaker 2: For whatever reason.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. That's a good point. Okay,
- 9:42Speaker 1: let's get to the dating.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Okay, Kelly.
- 9:44Speaker 1: I mean, not the dating, my dating.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Your dating.
- 9:47Speaker 1: So I'm back on the, back, you know.
- 9:49Speaker 2: You are back, baby.
- 9:50Speaker 1: I am back.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Well, you never, when are you not dating? I don't
- 9:53Speaker 2: think I've ever known you where there wasn't someone that
- 9:55Speaker 2: was calling.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Well, I mean, literally, you know, it's funny because after being,
- 9:59Speaker 1: you know, single for so many years and, you know,
- 10:01Speaker 1: being in a relationship, I had to call off a,
- 10:03Speaker 1: you know, wedding and then just getting into another relationship
- 10:06Speaker 1: who I really, I really, really cared about him, but
- 10:08Speaker 1: we were so far away and the connection, the real connection,
- 10:12Speaker 1: the emotional connection was not there. And the safety was
- 10:17Speaker 1: not there. And that's just so important for women. All women,
- 10:19Speaker 1: they should feel like very safe with their man. Not like,
- 10:23Speaker 1: oh my God, he walks across the street with me
- 10:25Speaker 1: to make sure I don't get hit by a car.
- 10:26Speaker 1: But like genuine safety, like looks out for me, make
- 10:30Speaker 1: sure I got home okay.
- 10:31Speaker 2: That's everything, of course. Everything, everything. I have to say,
- 10:34Speaker 2: you rebound so quickly. I do?
- 10:37Speaker 3: Yes, when you broke up with the guy that you're
- 10:39Speaker 3: referring to.
- 10:40Speaker 2: I remember just being like, are you okay?
- 10:43Speaker 1: And I, yeah, I was like, what?
- 10:44Speaker 3: And I don't know if that has to do with
- 10:45Speaker 3: the fact that you said it on the show, you've
- 10:47Speaker 3: never been in love, which I find very surprising and sad.
- 10:51Speaker 1: So sad.
- 10:53Speaker 2: No, I mean, listen, you're a happy woman. You've had
- 10:55Speaker 2: a happy life.
- 10:57Speaker 1: I am. I've had an interesting life. I've had a
- 10:59Speaker 1: colorful life. I wouldn't say a great life, but it's been,
- 11:03Speaker 1: it hasn't been easy. You know, my life has not
- 11:05Speaker 1: been easy. And I think that a lot of people
- 11:07Speaker 1: just think that it's just, This like, you know, curls, eyelashes,
- 11:12Speaker 1: purple blazers. Life is so easy. It's not what you present.
- 11:16Speaker 1: You don't present. Well, because I don't want to be
- 11:18Speaker 1: the girl that cries on TikTok and is like, poor me.
- 11:21Speaker 1: I've never ever seen you be like, poor me. No,
- 11:24Speaker 1: I will not be like that.
- 11:26Speaker 3: I'll go back to Scary Island. You were eating jelly
- 11:28Speaker 3: beans while they were attacking.
- 11:29Speaker 2: I know.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Thank God for my jelly beans.
- 11:31Speaker 2: Thank God for your jelly beans.
- 11:32Speaker 1: My friend group. Yes, exactly.
- 11:35Speaker 2: Your colorful little friend group.
- 11:37Speaker 3: No, but I mean, I, I honestly, I was, I,
- 11:39Speaker 3: I've never known you. I've known you for a while now,
- 11:41Speaker 3: not to be dating, not to be putting yourself out there.
- 11:43Speaker 1: So just to be open to it, to see what
- 11:46Speaker 1: goes on. It was so interesting because I was really
- 11:49Speaker 1: for a long time thinking to myself, okay, I'm looking
- 11:51Speaker 1: for this forever person. And then, you know, Heather and
- 11:55Speaker 1: I were talking one day, our producer, and I just
- 11:57Speaker 1: was like, Heather, like, what am I looking for? I
- 12:02Speaker 1: already have it. What am I looking for? Why am
- 12:05Speaker 1: I searching for something that I already have? Beautiful kids,
- 12:09Speaker 1: great family, great friendships, you know, great life, you know, work.
- 12:13Speaker 2: I'd like to see you with, I'd like to see
- 12:15Speaker 2: you with a partner.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Me too.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Right.
- 12:17Speaker 1: But I also, maybe I'm, maybe like, maybe this idea,
- 12:22Speaker 1: I mean, I always wanted to get remarried and have kids.
- 12:25Speaker 1: That's not happening anymore. Those days are over. And so
- 12:28Speaker 1: maybe it's just like, maybe I should just settle into like,
- 12:31Speaker 1: Who I am and be with someone and just be
- 12:35Speaker 1: with them. Why do I have to like get married again?
- 12:37Speaker 1: Or like, I just want that. I just really want
- 12:41Speaker 1: that moment. That real love moment where I'm like so
- 12:44Speaker 1: in love with someone that I want that moment.
- 12:45Speaker 2: I mean, you may not have been in love with anyone,
- 12:47Speaker 2: but I have no doubt in my mind that there
- 12:48Speaker 2: have been many men in love with you.
- 12:50Speaker 1: I loved them, but I wasn't in love with them.
- 12:53Speaker 1: I wasn't like, oh my God.
- 12:55Speaker 2: I met Jeff Bessler. I was not... I broke up
- 12:58Speaker 2: with him. I was like, there is no spark here.
- 13:00Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 13:01Speaker 3: And he, you know, he kind of wore me down. And,
- 13:04Speaker 3: you know, I'm 58 years old. There's not one person
- 13:08Speaker 3: in the world I'd rather be with. And I don't
- 13:10Speaker 3: mean just because I'm so in love with him.
- 13:14Speaker 2: I'm not saying that.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Like, that is not.
- 13:16Speaker 2: I'm 58.
- 13:16Speaker 1: I know.
- 13:17Speaker 2: You know, I just because I like him so much.
- 13:21Speaker 1: And because he loves you.
- 13:22Speaker 3: We're just partners, you know, and that's what.
- 13:24Speaker 1: I want for you. He adores you. Adores you.
- 13:26Speaker 2: You're making it look like I carried away.
- 13:28Speaker 1: I'm serious.
- 13:29Speaker 3: I see how I do.
- 13:30Speaker 2: It's all right. Anyway, it's not about me. It's about
- 13:33Speaker 2: you and the stables.
- 13:34Speaker 1: But I'm just saying like what I am looking for.
- 13:37Speaker 1: And I think that like after, you know, being on
- 13:41Speaker 1: the pod for, you know, a couple of years now
- 13:43Speaker 1: and just kind of talking through all of these insecurities
- 13:47Speaker 1: that I've had for so long, I think one of
- 13:49Speaker 1: the things that like was this like really baseline important
- 13:54Speaker 1: thing for me is safety. And I just haven't found
- 13:57Speaker 1: that in a man. What do you, what happens when you-
- 13:58Speaker 1: And we're going to talk about that, what happens in Florida.
- 14:00Speaker 1: I'm just curious.
- 14:01Speaker 3: It's like, what, give me, you don't have to name them,
- 14:03Speaker 3: but like, tell me in terms of like a specific,
- 14:06Speaker 3: what makes you What does a man do that is
- 14:08Speaker 3: making you feel unsafe or is not making you feel protected?
- 14:11Speaker 1: You know, I think that because my father was a
- 14:13Speaker 1: lawyer and, you know, came from nothing, you know, was
- 14:17Speaker 1: in the military with, you know, a fantastic, I mean, amazing,
- 14:22Speaker 1: amazing lawyer. Number one in his class, University of Illinois,
- 14:24Speaker 1: like self-made, very, very protective of my mother and us.
- 14:30Speaker 1: And was always like, when I would be in Paris,
- 14:33Speaker 1: I would call him and like, It'd be like two
- 14:34Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. I'd be like, hi, daddy. Nine
- 14:36Speaker 1: o'clock every day, every single day. And he'd be like,
- 14:39Speaker 1: you're gonna do great. You're gonna do a great job.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Like he'd be there at swim meets. He was just
- 14:42Speaker 1: very supportive, made me feel safe and never said to me,
- 14:47Speaker 1: you can't do something. It was like, whatever you need
- 14:49Speaker 1: to do, I will make it happen. And even if
- 14:52Speaker 1: there were situations that happened in his life, whether they were,
- 14:55Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't know about our, you know, if
- 14:58Speaker 1: we were, if we had money, if we didn't have money,
- 15:00Speaker 1: we didn't, you know, it wasn't spoken in our family,
- 15:03Speaker 1: but he always made everything possible and always made me
- 15:08Speaker 1: feel safe. And I do that for my girls, but
- 15:12Speaker 1: I've never been around a man who made me feel
- 15:14Speaker 1: like that.
- 15:15Speaker 3: I think that that is so interesting because my father
- 15:18Speaker 3: was the opposite. I never felt safe. And I don't
- 15:23Speaker 3: know that I was ever smart enough to say, okay,
- 15:25Speaker 3: this is what I need. This man will make me
- 15:27Speaker 3: feel safe. I think I just got lucky. But what
- 15:30Speaker 3: you just described is the thing that I love the
- 15:32Speaker 3: most about being married to Jeff Vessler. And I haven't
- 15:35Speaker 3: really thought about it until you just said it.
- 15:38Speaker 2: No, that's true.
- 15:38Speaker 3: I really do mean that. It's bigger than that. It's
- 15:41Speaker 3: what you described when you just described your dad. I
- 15:43Speaker 3: can only imagine how many men, though, there are many,
- 15:47Speaker 3: Good men they may be hard to find in this
- 15:48Speaker 3: world would want to be that for you.
- 15:50Speaker 1: But they don't have my back. They're like, they're just,
- 15:53Speaker 1: it's like, I feel like I'm just in a world
- 15:55Speaker 1: of like, these guys just want to be a plus one.
- 15:57Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, I want to be a plus
- 15:58Speaker 1: one to your life.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Right.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Not mine. I don't need a plus one. I've got,
- 16:02Speaker 1: I take my kids everywhere. I don't, I'm not taking you. Right.
- 16:05Speaker 3: So I was engaged and we were taking a ride.
- 16:08Speaker 3: I was, we were living in Guttenberg, New Jersey, and
- 16:11Speaker 3: I was working in Hoboken, but I just moved in
- 16:14Speaker 3: with Jeff. And I said to him, we were taking
- 16:16Speaker 3: a drive into Hoboken. I was like, you know, when
- 16:19Speaker 3: we get back tonight, we were going somewhere. I need
- 16:21Speaker 3: to figure out where the bus, how I can get
- 16:23Speaker 3: on the bus to get to work or whatever. And
- 16:25Speaker 3: I don't know why I thought this in the morning.
- 16:28Speaker 3: When I said it to him, it was early and
- 16:29Speaker 3: we had a whole day in front of us. And
- 16:30Speaker 3: my expectation was that he was not going to remember.
- 16:33Speaker 1: I don't know why.
- 16:35Speaker 2: I like marked it.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Like, I just didn't expect a man to remember. Like,
- 16:40Speaker 3: that's what I was going to need in the morning.
- 16:41Speaker 3: And we're coming home and I remember it was late.
- 16:43Speaker 3: And he's like, all right, we have to go drive over.
- 16:45Speaker 3: It sounds so silly, right? But we have to go
- 16:48Speaker 3: do the route so you know where you're going. And
- 16:50Speaker 3: that has stuck with me throughout my marriage, that I
- 16:53Speaker 3: said it to him. Once.
- 16:55Speaker 2: It was about me. It was once.
- 16:56Speaker 1: It was important.
- 16:57Speaker 2: And it was important. And I could count on him. Right.
- 17:00Speaker 2: You know?
- 17:01Speaker 1: I have never had that. I have never been in
- 17:04Speaker 1: a relationship with a man I could count on. Never.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Well, we're going to need to talk a little more here.
- 17:09Speaker 2: I mean, I... I don't know why you can't or haven't,
- 17:13Speaker 2: not can't, why you haven't found that.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Because I think that the wrong guys are attracted to me.
- 17:19Speaker 1: I think that they think that I'm the alpha. And
- 17:21Speaker 1: it's like, I'm not the alpha. I have to be
- 17:24Speaker 1: the alpha. It's a different thing. It's different. I don't
- 17:27Speaker 1: want to be the alpha. I want him to be
- 17:29Speaker 1: the alpha. I want to push them forward.
- 17:31Speaker 2: How do you pick that out before you waste time, right?
- 17:34Speaker 1: I know. I know. It's really crazy. Anyway, so I'm
- 17:37Speaker 1: on Raya again. And I love Raya because it's just...
- 17:41Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys that are similar to my lifestyle.
- 17:44Speaker 3: Sure.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Whether they're actors, CEOs, whatever they are. It's just, there
- 17:49Speaker 1: are a lot of really good guys. So I'm on Raya.
- 17:52Speaker 1: I just broken up with my guy and you were
- 17:54Speaker 1: so sweet to check in with me. And I'm like,
- 17:56Speaker 1: you know, I'm just going to go Raya. Like my
- 17:58Speaker 1: profile picture is like me, like looking down, you can't
- 18:01Speaker 1: even see my face, looking down with like all this,
- 18:03Speaker 1: all my polo equipment. Cause my daughter was like, you
- 18:05Speaker 1: have to show a vibe. You can't like show your face.
- 18:08Speaker 1: I'm like a vibe. I'm like, shouldn't they see my face?

- 18:14Speaker 1: Right.
- 18:14Speaker 2: It's the vibe. Go on. I'm sorry.
- 18:16Speaker 1: So anyway, so this is a picture of me and
- 18:18Speaker 1: I'll screenshot. Oh, I can't screenshot, but I'll show it
- 18:20Speaker 1: to you. And so you don't really know like who
- 18:24Speaker 1: I am or what's going on. So cut to, there's
- 18:27Speaker 1: this guy, Nick, and he's an Olympic snowboarder. I had
- 18:31Speaker 1: no idea. It's just, he was a snowboarder. And I
- 18:33Speaker 1: just thought, I was like, this guy is from upper peninsula.
- 18:36Speaker 1: I'm like, he's from the Midwest. Well, he's not really
- 18:38Speaker 1: from the Midwest, but he kind of is. And he
- 18:41Speaker 1: is like so fun. You can see, he's like comes
- 18:46Speaker 1: off the page. He's got this very dynamic personality. And
- 18:50Speaker 1: so we started texting and he's like, yeah, I have
- 18:56Speaker 1: a race tomorrow. And I'm like, oh, that's so great. Congratulations.
- 18:59Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I'm in the Olympics. I'm like, wait, what?
- 19:02Speaker 1: Like the Olympics? You're texting me from the Olympics right now?
- 19:07Speaker 1: You're right.
- 19:08Speaker 2: I can turn on the TV tomorrow and watch you. Right.
- 19:11Speaker 2: Race in the Olympics. Right.
- 19:12Speaker 1: I could have just watched him. Yes. Snowboard. Snowboard.
- 19:15Speaker 2: Excuse me.
- 19:15Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm sorry.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty cool.
- 19:19Speaker 1: I literally was like, drop the mic. This guy is
- 19:23Speaker 1: a baller. Like very cool guy.
- 19:27Speaker 2: I feel like that.
- 19:29Speaker 1: And so I just was like, I'm listening. I'm in
- 19:31Speaker 1: Palm Beach. Do you want to come and go? Because
- 19:34Speaker 1: he was going to be in Palm Beach with some
- 19:35Speaker 1: of the other friends playing golf because all the athletes
- 19:38Speaker 1: go to Palm Beach to play golf. And so I
- 19:42Speaker 1: was like, if you're here, do you want to go
- 19:44Speaker 1: on a date? And he was like, sure. So he
- 19:47Speaker 1: flies down. And he meets me at this.
- 19:50Speaker 2: He flew down for the date.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Well, he was down for golf. Okay. He was playing golf.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Okay.
- 19:55Speaker 1: And he flew, you know, he was down for there.
- 19:58Speaker 1: He was down for golf. And then he came to
- 20:00Speaker 1: see me. And I was like, let's go ride horses.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Do you ride horses?
- 20:04Speaker 3: So let me ask you this. I mean, obviously you
- 20:06Speaker 3: had to tell him that it was going to get filmed.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Right.
- 20:09Speaker 2: And he was cool.
- 20:10Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. He was totally fine. He didn't care.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Well, that says something also. I don't know what it says,
- 20:14Speaker 2: but I know it says something.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Well, true story. Because every single guy is like, I
- 20:17Speaker 1: just don't want to be in the press. And I
- 20:20Speaker 1: don't want to be filmed. I'm like, they don't want
- 20:21Speaker 1: you anyway, you slug. Like, gross. Like, why would you
- 20:25Speaker 1: say that to somebody? How rude. I would never say
- 20:28Speaker 1: that to somebody.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Maybe insecurity. Yeah. I would just say, you know, I
- 20:31Speaker 2: don't want to be on camera. Who knows why? But
- 20:34Speaker 2: I also think, but I think it's hard either way. Right.
- 20:36Speaker 3: If he, if they're like, oh no, don't, I'm fine
- 20:39Speaker 3: with that. That's a little scary.
- 20:40Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. You know, he wasn't fine with it,
- 20:43Speaker 1: but he didn't care. And I like that because fine
- 20:46Speaker 1: with it means like, you're just like a clout farmer
- 20:49Speaker 1: and not fine with it means you just want to
- 20:51Speaker 1: be known by the world, but you're just pretending that
- 20:53Speaker 1: you don't.
- 20:54Speaker 2: Right. It's hard, but you're in the hard position there. Right.
- 20:57Speaker 2: Cause like, You're being filmed. That's your reality.
- 21:01Speaker 1: It's my work.
- 21:02Speaker 2: Yes.
- 21:02Speaker 1: So cut to, so we go to the, we go
- 21:04Speaker 1: to the polar fields and I'm just like, okay, this
- 21:06Speaker 1: is going to be great. I talked to my, my
- 21:09Speaker 1: chief of staff. She like does all my business for me. Very,
- 21:13Speaker 1: very bright woman. And she was like, Kelly, you've got
- 21:15Speaker 1: to get out there. She was really pushing me to
- 21:17Speaker 1: do this. And I was like, I don't know if
- 21:18Speaker 1: I want to film. I don't want to film dating anymore.
- 21:20Speaker 1: I'm like, everyone's going to be like, oh my God,
- 21:22Speaker 1: Kelly's dating. You know, it's like, so I go to
- 21:26Speaker 1: the polar fields and And I walk up to this
- 21:33Speaker 1: man and his name is Juan. I was like, of
- 21:37Speaker 1: course your name is. Do you, are you featured in
- 21:41Speaker 1: like any kind of telenovela or like, is there something
- 21:44Speaker 1: I don't know? He's like, Kelly, Kelly. I was like,
- 21:49Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what? Kelly, Kelly?
- 21:51Speaker 2: You never met him before.

- 21:58Speaker 2: So, okay, go on.
- 21:59Speaker 1: I mean, who knows if Juan, I mean, Juan and
- 22:01Speaker 1: I became friends, but who knows if he's dating? I
- 22:03Speaker 1: never even asked him. But I just was like, wow.
- 22:08Speaker 2: Really, Kel?
- 22:09Speaker 1: Well, it's because it's like, that's what I love. That's
- 22:10Speaker 1: my like happy place is like my, is around horses.
- 22:14Speaker 1: And you really never see, I mean, polo players are
- 22:17Speaker 1: very attractive, but they're typically not very tall. That's interesting.
- 22:23Speaker 1: So this guy was very tall and very attractive and
- 22:26Speaker 1: age appropriate. And I was like, wow.
- 22:29Speaker 2: I wasn't feeling it.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Really?
- 22:30Speaker 2: Not really.
- 22:31Speaker 1: We should see him in real life, though.
- 22:32Speaker 2: No, it's not that he wasn't attractive.
- 22:34Speaker 1: No, I'm telling you, it was like, I swear to God,
- 22:36Speaker 1: it was like telenovela, like full on. I mean, I
- 22:39Speaker 1: was like, I needed like a fan to like blow
- 22:42Speaker 1: my hair around.
- 22:43Speaker 2: Maybe it's just because I just don't feel that anymore.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Period.
- 22:46Speaker 2: I'm dead inside.
- 22:47Speaker 1: You know, you're new. I'm 58.
- 22:50Speaker 2: I'm two.
- 22:51Speaker 1: Right.
- 22:51Speaker 2: I thought we were the same age.
- 22:52Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 22:52Speaker 2: Um, hard to tell, but yes, we're the same age,
- 22:55Speaker 2: but yeah, no, I, uh, no one.
- 22:57Speaker 1: Okay. Okay. So when, so then, so I'm like, Nick,
- 23:00Speaker 1: you're going to get on this horse named supermodel. It
- 23:02Speaker 1: was like, okay.
- 23:04Speaker 2: They had to do that on purpose, right? Pull out supermodel.
- 23:07Speaker 1: I literally did not even know. I don't even think
- 23:09Speaker 1: they knew. I think they were just like, we're filming
- 23:11Speaker 1: and then I show up and then the horse is
- 23:13Speaker 1: named supermodel. I think it was literally, I don't think
- 23:15Speaker 1: it was planned because it just happens to be, and
- 23:18Speaker 1: it's actually my friend's horse.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
- 23:20Speaker 1: That's named supermodel. So it was just like totally serendipitous.
- 23:24Speaker 3: Right.
- 23:24Speaker 1: But very funny. Okay. And then he gets on the horse.
- 23:27Speaker 1: And instead of being like nervous or anything, just zipping around.
- 23:30Speaker 2: He's an athlete.
- 23:31Speaker 1: And Juan is like, you, Kelly, you stay with me.
- 23:33Speaker 1: I was like, whoa. So. Wow.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Well, I would say, so Nick walks in and the
- 23:39Speaker 2: Olympic thing is hot, right?
- 23:41Speaker 1: Hot. But I didn't.
- 23:42Speaker 3: So I don't know if it's just me. Again, maybe
- 23:44Speaker 3: I was dead inside, but I didn't, I didn't. Your
- 23:47Speaker 3: reaction to him, I was a little surprised at, right?
- 23:50Speaker 2: Really?
- 23:50Speaker 3: Because I just see you and you're like, you know, this,
- 23:53Speaker 3: I don't know, six foot nine dreamy supermodel.
- 23:56Speaker 1: Six foot nine.
- 23:57Speaker 3: And this guy, whatever you are, and these, you know,
- 23:59Speaker 3: and he was fine. I wasn't into the mustache, but
- 24:02Speaker 3: he was cute. But I actually, he grew on me.
- 24:05Speaker 3: Like once you guys were sitting down having your solo
- 24:08Speaker 3: cup glasses of rosé or whatever. I was like, okay,
- 24:12Speaker 3: I like, like his personality.
- 24:13Speaker 2: Grew on me.
- 24:14Speaker 1: His personality.
- 24:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:15Speaker 1: Is amazing.
- 24:16Speaker 2: Juan was very Rico Suave.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Yes.
- 24:18Speaker 3: But I mean, you just seem so like excited by
- 24:21Speaker 3: both of them.
- 24:22Speaker 2: And I feel like that is a little bit of
- 24:24Speaker 2: your MO.
- 24:24Speaker 3: Like you're so, like you meet a guy and instantly
- 24:29Speaker 3: you're like, oh my God, he's so funny. He's so great.
- 24:32Speaker 3: He's so handsome. He's so this. I would have been
- 24:35Speaker 3: a little more like, We'll see.
- 24:38Speaker 2: Eh, maybe, maybe not. I am.
- 24:40Speaker 1: It's not that great looking. I'm like, I met a guy.
- 24:42Speaker 3: Yes, you're always like, he's the funniest thing.
- 24:44Speaker 2: I'm like, ain't that funny, Kelly.
- 24:45Speaker 3: I don't know what you're getting so carried away about.
- 24:47Speaker 3: I ain't that good looking, Kelly.
- 24:50Speaker 1: First of all, I love you for that. And I
- 24:51Speaker 1: love that you're just like so dry. And I am,
- 24:54Speaker 1: I'm a cheerleader. I swear to God. I'm like, I
- 24:56Speaker 1: need full on pom poms 24 seven.
- 24:57Speaker 2: I mean, you haven't even given them a chance to say.
- 25:01Speaker 3: Hello or make a joke. And you're like, he is
- 25:03Speaker 3: so funny and so handsome. And I'm watching like, But
- 25:06Speaker 3: he's not. I mean, maybe he's okay.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Give me a minute.
- 25:09Speaker 1: I'm also like, I get my like superpower is like
- 25:15Speaker 1: I can pull out one person's like dynamic quality in
- 25:18Speaker 1: like one second. Like I'm very, very good at that.
- 25:21Speaker 1: And then I just feed off of that.
- 25:23Speaker 2: Maybe you should make them work for it a little
- 25:25Speaker 2: harder first.
- 25:25Speaker 3: 100%.
- 25:25Speaker 1: I don't know. take away, work harder. And I said
- 25:30Speaker 1: that to him. And I said that to Juan. I
- 25:33Speaker 1: was like, you can't, you know, you have to make
- 25:34Speaker 1: these guys work for it. And he goes, no, don't
- 25:37Speaker 1: make them work for it.
- 25:38Speaker 2: Just give it away. I just watch you also.
- 25:40Speaker 3: You're so charming and you're always giggling and you're always light.
- 25:45Speaker 3: And I feel like you make it very easy on
- 25:48Speaker 3: these guys.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Wait, so I have to be tougher?
- 25:50Speaker 2: No, I don't mean tougher.
- 25:52Speaker 3: I just mean, I feel as if watching you that
- 25:55Speaker 3: you are making it comfortable. You're so eager to make
- 25:58Speaker 3: it comfortable and light and fun.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Right.
- 26:01Speaker 3: And I do think to myself, like, you don't have
- 26:04Speaker 3: to work. They should be working that hard to make
- 26:07Speaker 3: you feel comfortable and light. And like, you're the charming,
- 26:11Speaker 3: funny one.
- 26:11Speaker 1: I love you, Jen Fessler. Anyway. I needed this today. Oh, good. Okay.

- 26:22Speaker 1: And Sonia is mad.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Yes, she is.
- 26:28Speaker 1: And so is Luann. So Luann is like, you're telling
- 26:31Speaker 1: me that, you know, I steal all your boyfriends. Tom
- 26:34Speaker 1: didn't want to marry me. You know, you're, and she's, well,
- 26:38Speaker 1: I mean, Sonia was Tom's girlfriend for a very, very
- 26:40Speaker 1: long time.
- 26:41Speaker 2: So, wow. That was swept way under the rug. I
- 26:45Speaker 2: did not realize that.
- 26:46Speaker 1: I did not either.
- 26:46Speaker 3: Unless I was not that keyed in at that time
- 26:49Speaker 3: to New York, but I didn't realize that they were
- 26:51Speaker 3: a serious thing. And obviously I would think that Sonia
- 26:54Speaker 3: will be harboring a bit of a grudge.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Right. Right. Of course.
- 26:57Speaker 1: I mean, imagine if a guy that you've been sleeping
- 27:00Speaker 1: with or whatever you've been doing with for X amount
- 27:02Speaker 1: of years, and all of a sudden he meets your
- 27:04Speaker 1: friend and they get married. I mean, I would be like,
- 27:06Speaker 1: I'd be so jealous. So. You know, Sonia and Luann are, like,
- 27:20Speaker 1: literally fighting about, like, who knew Tom first and who
- 27:24Speaker 1: was more in love with him or all this stuff.
- 27:26Speaker 1: They're not even together.
- 27:27Speaker 2: I mean, Tom who?
- 27:28Speaker 1: Right?
- 27:29Speaker 2: I mean, but.
- 27:31Speaker 1: He is not my favorite.
- 27:32Speaker 3: I think, well, I don't think he's anyone's favorite. But
- 27:35Speaker 3: I also think that it was, it's easy for Sonia
- 27:39Speaker 3: to go back. Like, so now here's Luann saying you
- 27:41Speaker 3: are all over my man in an inappropriate way. Right.
- 27:44Speaker 2: Which clearly. She was.
- 27:46Speaker 1: Right.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Okay.
- 27:47Speaker 1: But she is like that.
- 27:48Speaker 2: I know.
- 27:49Speaker 1: She's just a playful puppy. She just is like, and
- 27:54Speaker 1: then she walks away. I mean, she's just like that.
- 27:56Speaker 2: I agree. I know that she is.
- 27:57Speaker 3: But, you know, this is, for whatever reason, this time
- 28:00Speaker 3: it got under Luann's skin.
- 28:02Speaker 1: Yes.
- 28:03Speaker 2: She's very into this guy.
- 28:04Speaker 1: Yes.
- 28:05Speaker 3: I'm not surprised. And she didn't like it. And it
- 28:08Speaker 3: was like, listen, Ramona was all over him in a
- 28:13Speaker 3: very innocent.
- 28:14Speaker 2: Way, I have to say.
- 28:15Speaker 3: Right. dancing, hugging, you know, like, like grabbing his ass
- 28:21Speaker 3: and pulling up his shirt and all of that does
- 28:24Speaker 3: feel like maybe there's a line being crossed. But I
- 28:28Speaker 3: think that probably Sonia's, I mean, she hopped right into, well,
- 28:34Speaker 3: you must know you're a cheater. Like it went from zero,
- 28:37Speaker 3: but let's say it went from about three to a
- 28:39Speaker 3: 10 quick.
- 28:40Speaker 2: Right. Right.
- 28:41Speaker 1: And she does that.
- 28:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 28:43Speaker 2: Well, I mean, she does do that.
- 28:44Speaker 1: Yeah, she does do that. She's very playful and fun.
- 28:46Speaker 1: And then if she doesn't like something, it's like, it
- 28:49Speaker 1: just goes into like, right.
- 28:50Speaker 2: Yes.
- 28:51Speaker 3: But I mean, I guess maybe she is still harboring
- 28:53Speaker 3: that resentment. Like, don't come at me for getting on
- 28:56Speaker 3: your guy when you basically stole mine. So, you know,
- 29:00Speaker 3: that could be still going on.
- 29:02Speaker 1: I think one of the things that I noticed filming
- 29:04Speaker 1: is that Because I haven't filmed with Sonia since Ultimate.
- 29:09Speaker 1: And before that, it was almost 10 years. And I've
- 29:11Speaker 1: done a lot of other things and been on other shows.
- 29:13Speaker 1: But I hadn't filmed with them. And what I see
- 29:18Speaker 1: and I hear is that they have a lot of
- 29:22Speaker 1: such pent-up resentment. And they just want to be heard.
- 29:26Speaker 1: They just want their stories to be heard. So I literally...
- 29:30Speaker 1: I'm sitting with them just like, tell me, tell me
- 29:32Speaker 1: what happened. yeah and nobody has had that opportunity like
- 29:36Speaker 1: whether it's all the women.
- 29:38Speaker 2: Are regardless of avery's best efforts.
- 29:40Speaker 1: No no and and sonia really opens up with me
- 29:43Speaker 1: and she starts to trust me because i'm actually genuinely
- 29:46Speaker 1: listening to what she's saying and i'm not waiting for
- 29:49Speaker 1: my like you know line right that's gonna be like
- 29:53Speaker 1: all the fans are gonna be like you know having
- 29:56Speaker 1: fun with i'm genuinely listening and And it makes her
- 29:59Speaker 1: feel safe.
- 30:00Speaker 2: That's what she said, literally, right?
- 30:02Speaker 1: I mean, it's unbelievable.
- 30:03Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:03Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.
- 30:04Speaker 2: Well, listen, I think that- And.
- 30:06Speaker 1: Our relationship went from like, I hadn't seen her, so
- 30:08Speaker 1: it was like lukewarm to like, you know, bathtub water.
- 30:13Speaker 3: You know, if I'm, just personally, if I'm choosing one
- 30:18Speaker 3: woman on the cast besides Kelly Ben Simone, I feel
- 30:22Speaker 3: like I would probably, believe it or not, trust and
- 30:27Speaker 3: confide in Sonia. And I know she can be a
- 30:30Speaker 3: loose cannon, but I, I, for whatever reason feel like
- 30:34Speaker 3: there is something very, um, vulnerable, compassionate, and I don't
- 30:41Speaker 3: feel like she's out to get anyone, which I do
- 30:45Speaker 3: sometimes feel from a couple of the other women who
- 30:48Speaker 3: will remain nameless for now.
- 30:50Speaker 1: For now. I agree with you. I think that, I mean,
- 30:52Speaker 1: I live with her. You're In B, so this is A,
- 30:57Speaker 1: we're in Palm Beach, and then we go to B,
- 30:59Speaker 1: we're in the Hamptons. And you're going to see, because
- 31:01Speaker 1: we live together, and you're going to see how fun
- 31:03Speaker 1: and playful, but how thoughtful.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe, yeah.
- 31:06Speaker 1: She's so thoughtful. Right. And she is, talk about a
- 31:09Speaker 1: girl's girl, and that's what you're saying. She is the
- 31:12Speaker 1: quintessential girl's girl. If somebody says something that she doesn't like,
- 31:16Speaker 1: she will really, really support you.
- 31:20Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how I feel it.
- 31:21Speaker 1: And I feel, and I think that Luann is kind
- 31:23Speaker 1: of like, you're not drinking. You're all over my man.
- 31:26Speaker 1: What is going on? And then you're telling, you're talking about.
- 31:29Speaker 3: It just keeps going back to, you're not drinking. Like, okay,
- 31:33Speaker 3: I don't get it.
- 31:34Speaker 2: Like, what's your point? So you are drinking, you're sneaking it.
- 31:37Speaker 3: Why are we trying to, you know, I don't get
- 31:40Speaker 3: why we're trying to sort of, trap her here into
- 31:43Speaker 3: admitting something.
- 31:44Speaker 2: Who gives a shit?
- 31:45Speaker 3: Not who gives a shit, but the bigger issue is
- 31:47Speaker 3: you have your hands up my man's shirt.
- 31:49Speaker 2: I don't like it. Right. Don't do that again.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Right.
- 31:51Speaker 2: Right.
- 31:52Speaker 1: But they also have this weird competition. Yeah. Because.
- 31:55Speaker 2: Over men.
- 31:57Speaker 1: I mean, I don't.
- 31:58Speaker 2: Back to Tom, maybe?
- 31:59Speaker 1: They have this weird competition. I think they've dated the
- 32:02Speaker 1: same men, whether it was like Harry, Tom. Oh, right, right, right, right, right.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Harry.
- 32:05Speaker 1: I'm sure there's others. Yeah. But it's very, it's competitive.
- 32:09Speaker 1: And it's just, I'm like, it's like watching like a
- 32:11Speaker 1: ping pong. I'm like, what is going on here?
- 32:12Speaker 2: The good news is it's over. I mean, Luann now
- 32:14Speaker 2: has this dream boat.
- 32:16Speaker 3: Right.
- 32:16Speaker 2: And let's keep it moving.
- 32:19Speaker 1: And I think that's hard for Sonya too. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah.
- 32:22Speaker 1: You know? Yeah.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Yeah. I could see that.
- 32:24Speaker 1: I mean, she wants to get married. She wants to
- 32:25Speaker 1: find a man. She wants to have a new life,
- 32:27Speaker 1: you know?
- 32:28Speaker 3: She doesn't act in a way, at least on the show,
- 32:32Speaker 3: that feels serious like that, at least not yet. Right now,
- 32:35Speaker 3: she feels like she is exactly what she describes out
- 32:39Speaker 3: for food, sleep, and dick.
- 32:41Speaker 2: What did she say? What did she say? I just
- 32:45Speaker 2: know husband was not part of that equation.
- 32:47Speaker 1: Eat, sleep, dick.
- 32:48Speaker 2: Eat, sleep, dick was not like eat, sleep, connect.
- 32:52Speaker 3: Right.
- 32:52Speaker 1: Eat, sleep, dick, dash, husband.
- 32:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not feeling that for her, which is fine. Listen, honey,
- 32:58Speaker 2: just be happy as long as she's happy.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Good.
- 33:01Speaker 2: I admire it.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Oh, my God. And so, you know, we've talked about,
- 33:07Speaker 1: you know, Sonia. We've talked about, I think it's really
- 33:09Speaker 1: about Sonia and Luann. Really, this whole... Deep-seated... Resentment. Resentment, competition.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Right.
- 33:19Speaker 1: And then I think at the very end, you see
- 33:21Speaker 1: Sonia's like, you know, Kelly's a kiss ass because then
- 33:24Speaker 1: it's just time to deflect on someone else. And if
- 33:27Speaker 1: anyone that knows me knows I am definitely not a
- 33:29Speaker 1: kiss ass. I'm polite. I'm well-mannered. I'm educated, but I
- 33:33Speaker 1: am not a kiss ass. If I don't like something,
- 33:35Speaker 1: you know it because you're done.
- 33:37Speaker 3: Listen, I think in that moment, she felt very betrayed
- 33:40Speaker 3: because she needed you to just be team Sonia.
- 33:44Speaker 1: And I was trying to give Luann some color and
- 33:47Speaker 1: just say, you know, this has been something that's worked.
- 33:49Speaker 1: She would have been talking about, like, I wasn't like,
- 33:52Speaker 1: Oh my God, tell me to tell you.
- 33:54Speaker 2: No, it definitely was not like that.
- 33:55Speaker 1: I was not doing that.
- 33:57Speaker 2: It was like, yeah. And I wouldn't do that.
- 33:58Speaker 3: Right.
- 33:58Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't do that.
- 34:00Speaker 3: But it was like, um, it was more like, yeah, listen,
- 34:02Speaker 3: she told me this yesterday. She can't, whatever it was,
- 34:05Speaker 3: she caught you saying it.
- 34:07Speaker 2: It was a bad moment. Your intentions were not real,
- 34:10Speaker 2: but she didn't like it.
- 34:12Speaker 3: No.
- 34:12Speaker 2: And, You know what?
- 34:14Speaker 3: I could understand where she was coming from because you're
- 34:16Speaker 3: the one she trusts most in that situation. So she
- 34:19Speaker 3: just wanted to see you say, you know, whatever you
- 34:23Speaker 3: were going to say, team Sonia.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Right. Exactly.
- 34:25Speaker 2: So she was sensitive to it.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Right.
- 34:27Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 34:28Speaker 1: Exactly. And I am team Sonia.
- 34:29Speaker 2: I know you are.
- 34:30Speaker 1: But I also am trying to give Luann like.
- 34:32Speaker 2: Some perspective.
- 34:33Speaker 3: Right.
- 34:33Speaker 1: So she understands because Luann hasn't been around everyone. She's been.
- 34:35Speaker 2: Right.
- 34:36Speaker 1: You know, traveling the world.
- 34:37Speaker 2: Right.
- 34:38Speaker 1: So yes, team Sonia. Always team Sonia. Always team Sonia.
- 34:41Speaker 2: You team everyone.
- 34:42Speaker 1: I love that you are loving. Well, that's not true.
- 34:45Speaker 1: I'm on your team until I'm off.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Until you're not.
- 34:48Speaker 1: And then it's like crickets.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see that.
- 34:51Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no, don't bother me.
- 34:52Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a softie though.
- 34:53Speaker 1: Not that soft. Okay.
- 34:55Speaker 2: We'll see. It's only, we're only in episode two.
- 34:57Speaker 1: We will see.
- 34:58Speaker 2: We will see. And then you've been thrown in with
- 35:00Speaker 2: the gladiators, so we will see, Kel.
- 35:02Speaker 1: No. Okay. Jen, thank you so much. I love going
