00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:05.179
So I go to the jail and on her release day in
00:00:05.179 --> 00:00:11.220
September of last year, and I go there and Emma.
00:00:12.339 --> 00:00:15.820
Hello, Emma. And so if you watch Potomac, you
00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:18.100
know, there's that scene where Karen's leaving
00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:19.899
the jail and she rolls down the SUV window and
00:00:19.899 --> 00:00:23.699
she's waving to the fans. Well, that was me.
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.440
I was the only fan that was there. The only one.
00:00:27.539 --> 00:00:30.629
I would have thought. hundreds of people would
00:00:30.629 --> 00:00:32.310
have showed up for that like i truly thought
00:00:32.310 --> 00:00:48.189
like that like people that is crazy hi i'm travis
00:00:48.189 --> 00:00:53.329
i'm emma and this is bestie approved um I don't
00:00:53.329 --> 00:00:55.030
know how this is going to sound because editing
00:00:55.030 --> 00:00:56.890
Travis is going to like have a time with this.
00:00:56.969 --> 00:01:00.350
But we are here with our new friend, Chantel.
00:01:00.969 --> 00:01:03.729
I keep wanting to say Chantel and like I like
00:01:03.729 --> 00:01:06.510
I know that's not right. Chantel, thank you.
00:01:07.030 --> 00:01:10.629
And she's Purple Panda Pants on all social media.
00:01:10.750 --> 00:01:14.469
And we are going to talk today about the finale
00:01:14.469 --> 00:01:17.269
of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. And I
00:01:17.269 --> 00:01:19.409
have we're going to get into a couple of things
00:01:19.409 --> 00:01:23.719
first, but I. Obviously, the first thing we start
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:25.859
off with every episode is what's the last song
00:01:25.859 --> 00:01:29.219
you listen to? So what's the last song you listen
00:01:29.219 --> 00:01:33.359
to, Chantel? Last song I listened to was Glamorous
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.859
by Fergie. Because I just went to a glamorous
00:01:36.859 --> 00:01:41.560
at Kiarna's spa in Potomac yesterday. So I posted
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.200
a video about it. I felt like that song was very
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.019
fitting for that experience yesterday. So then
00:01:47.019 --> 00:01:48.959
I was like, so I listened to the clip on Instagram
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:50.459
and I was like, now I got to hear the whole song.
00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:52.739
So I'm on YouTube music, like playing the whole
00:01:52.739 --> 00:01:55.819
song. So that's like a classic from the early
00:01:55.819 --> 00:02:00.260
2000s. Love it. That is such a vibe. Yeah. Emma,
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.719
what was your last song? It was All Falls Down
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:09.280
by Kanye West. Okay. I'm sure I know it. I'm
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.580
terrible. I'm terrible with like song titles.
00:02:11.699 --> 00:02:13.800
You know, I couldn't tell you any title of any
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:18.259
song, but it's an oldie, but a goodie. I'm double
00:02:18.259 --> 00:02:22.340
checking myself before I lie to you. It's from.
00:02:24.539 --> 00:02:32.379
Hold on. Hold on. Technical difficulties. Yeah,
00:02:32.419 --> 00:02:36.960
it's on the college dropout. So what was that
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:44.979
like 2006? Nice. My last song and full disclosure,
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.520
Chantel and I did discuss this before you got
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:54.360
on. It's OK. I don't care. Was and I'm not pandering.
00:02:54.419 --> 00:03:01.469
This is fully the the truth is. Yeah. You know
00:03:01.469 --> 00:03:06.729
what it is, don't you, Emma? Baby Gorgeous by
00:03:06.729 --> 00:03:12.520
Lisa Barlow. And we were we were talking about
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.319
how Lisa is like respond to do a couple of things
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.020
on our tick tock. And like I like I hope I want
00:03:19.020 --> 00:03:21.219
to believe that it's actually her. And like when
00:03:21.219 --> 00:03:24.639
I post this on tick tock, I want I hope she sees
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.120
this. But I also the other thing I believe about
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.199
that song is I don't believe she wrote that for
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:33.300
anyone other than herself. Like I love that song
00:03:33.300 --> 00:03:35.659
with every fiber of my being. And like I know
00:03:35.659 --> 00:03:37.900
housewives like when they get into music like.
00:03:38.889 --> 00:03:41.830
it's it's very kitschy it's very like whatever
00:03:41.830 --> 00:03:46.969
like tardy for the party like uh uh this uh money
00:03:46.969 --> 00:03:51.310
can't buy you class like i love those songs i
00:03:51.310 --> 00:03:55.150
love baby gorgeous i love all of it yeah and
00:03:55.150 --> 00:04:01.849
her dj era too yes also because atlanta's airing
00:04:01.849 --> 00:04:03.969
right now i i think this is worth noting have
00:04:03.969 --> 00:04:06.409
you chantelle have you heard the song um come
00:04:06.409 --> 00:04:11.439
get this honey by nini leaks No. It is. Download
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.960
it after you get off of here. Okay, let me write
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.199
this down. Come get this, honey. Honey is spelled
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:23.399
H -U -N -N -I. So good. For Mimi. Okay. It actually
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.240
is. I used to have a whole little, like, playlist
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.480
that was, like, all Housewives, like, music.
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.339
Like, all the, you know. Because, like, you had
00:04:30.339 --> 00:04:32.220
Melissa Gorga in there. You know, there's so
00:04:32.220 --> 00:04:35.209
many. That wouldn't be a bad. So like Emma and
00:04:35.209 --> 00:04:37.569
I are like literally said we do this last song
00:04:37.569 --> 00:04:39.629
thing every episode. And so we've started the
00:04:39.629 --> 00:04:42.790
bestie proof playlist. Like I for like for reality
00:04:42.790 --> 00:04:45.149
roundup, I might like put together that playlist,
00:04:45.269 --> 00:04:49.009
too. I love that. You're right. I might do that
00:04:49.009 --> 00:04:52.610
for Fourth of July. I mean, hang out with Andreas.
00:04:52.970 --> 00:04:55.790
And so, yes, I might make this. I might make
00:04:55.790 --> 00:04:58.129
a house. I'm going to do that. Make a housewives
00:04:58.129 --> 00:05:04.350
playlist. um but so you you talked about how
00:05:04.350 --> 00:05:08.670
you um you like to get into the dynamics of these
00:05:08.670 --> 00:05:11.149
women and like i think this is something that
00:05:11.149 --> 00:05:13.670
like people forget about like these are real
00:05:13.670 --> 00:05:15.350
people we're watching on the real housewives
00:05:15.350 --> 00:05:17.410
but the the two shows that are airing right now
00:05:17.410 --> 00:05:19.170
real houses of rhode island and real houses of
00:05:19.170 --> 00:05:23.990
atlanta i think are probably two of the best
00:05:23.990 --> 00:05:27.910
examples of like the most real dynamics between
00:05:27.910 --> 00:05:29.569
these women because I think like Beverly Hills
00:05:29.569 --> 00:05:33.730
like we can we can get into like how that's what
00:05:33.730 --> 00:05:36.589
that's turned into New York I think the old New
00:05:36.589 --> 00:05:38.370
York is a very different story the new New York
00:05:38.370 --> 00:05:41.029
I think that I don't know that you're getting
00:05:41.029 --> 00:05:43.129
like real relationships there but like on these
00:05:43.129 --> 00:05:48.069
two shows you are truly getting like I wholeheartedly
00:05:48.069 --> 00:05:50.889
believe like these women's real relationships
00:05:50.889 --> 00:05:54.319
so like what I guess, what's your take on that,
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.560
like, when it comes to, like, breaking down those
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:03.019
dynamics? I think the reason why Rhode Island
00:06:03.019 --> 00:06:06.379
is just taking everyone, you know, lift just
00:06:06.379 --> 00:06:08.800
off of our feet here with the housewives is because
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:13.120
there's real connections. You know, you can tell
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.360
that these women know each other from childhood.
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.560
Like, they are legit friendships. They're not...
00:06:19.050 --> 00:06:21.769
You know, oh, you know, my friend Julie is going
00:06:21.769 --> 00:06:24.170
to join Housewives as my friend and no one knows
00:06:24.170 --> 00:06:26.389
her. And, you know what I mean? Like they have
00:06:26.389 --> 00:06:30.990
this deep their lives are intertwined. And so
00:06:30.990 --> 00:06:35.649
their dynamic is very different to me than like
00:06:35.649 --> 00:06:38.649
Atlanta is airing right now with Atlanta. It
00:06:38.649 --> 00:06:41.310
feels like they're just every every housewife
00:06:41.310 --> 00:06:45.769
is trying to produce a scene and they are thinking
00:06:45.769 --> 00:06:48.860
three episodes ahead. Of how is this going to
00:06:48.860 --> 00:06:51.819
portray to the fans, to the viewers? What's the
00:06:51.819 --> 00:06:53.939
feedback going to say? What's the, you know,
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:55.939
what are, what threads is going to, whatever.
00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:59.600
Like they just, you have one that's just too
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.319
hyper -focused on their perception, how they're
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:03.879
going to be viewed, the viewers are going to
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.399
view them. And you have one that like forgets
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.240
the cameras are even there. And they're just
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.259
living their life and we're just happening to
00:07:10.259 --> 00:07:15.500
be capturing it. And it's authentic. And you
00:07:15.500 --> 00:07:18.189
can't make up. what they've done on Rhode Island.
00:07:19.209 --> 00:07:22.430
You know, you can't make that up. Like the, the
00:07:22.430 --> 00:07:26.310
fights, the, the everything. It reminds me of
00:07:26.310 --> 00:07:28.850
this scene from literally in the finale when
00:07:28.850 --> 00:07:32.769
Joellen is like, how is Liz going to sit there
00:07:32.769 --> 00:07:34.970
and say, I'm not her friend, bitch. Like you're
00:07:34.970 --> 00:07:42.569
my family. But like. So that, yes, that is 100
00:07:42.569 --> 00:07:44.790
percent. I couldn't agree more, Emma. And like
00:07:44.790 --> 00:07:47.209
the other thing that like I keep coming back
00:07:47.209 --> 00:07:50.230
to with Rhode Island is is kind of something
00:07:50.230 --> 00:07:52.470
you called out, Chantel, is I don't think these
00:07:52.470 --> 00:07:54.370
women are producing themselves. I think the only
00:07:54.370 --> 00:07:57.910
one that kind of is is Rula, who like I think
00:07:57.910 --> 00:08:02.550
she is desperately trying to protect like the
00:08:02.550 --> 00:08:04.610
image of her marriage. And I can't fault her
00:08:04.610 --> 00:08:07.480
for that. And like, I think that like. And there's
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.300
there's a you can get into like a little bit
00:08:09.300 --> 00:08:11.339
of like the psychology there. But like Emma and
00:08:11.339 --> 00:08:14.699
I worked in finance for years before we both
00:08:14.699 --> 00:08:16.779
left the industry. So like there's also that
00:08:16.779 --> 00:08:19.319
thing of like clients are going to see this and
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.240
like clients will feel weird about it. So like
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.980
I 100 percent understand why she's doing that.
00:08:25.379 --> 00:08:30.379
But the rest of these women like. like i i it
00:08:30.379 --> 00:08:33.399
is this is real stuff like when i mean like when
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.639
joellen was like talking to her mother about
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.580
like her childhood and like i i was like this
00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:44.720
is deep tv yeah i love it but and also i think
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:49.639
it created one of the one of the if not the best
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:53.559
first seasons of housewives of any city like
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:55.740
i i cannot think of one like i thought salt lake
00:08:55.740 --> 00:08:59.539
city was like the perfect one i I did, too. I
00:08:59.539 --> 00:09:03.039
did, too. And if you go back and watch that first
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.179
episode of Salt Lake or even that first season,
00:09:05.419 --> 00:09:09.740
it's not as great as we recall it being. Like
00:09:09.740 --> 00:09:12.139
just the gents, the gents job at all and like
00:09:12.139 --> 00:09:14.600
her personality and just her taking over everything.
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:19.080
And and then you if even like she was producing,
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:22.100
you know what I mean? Like, oh, yeah. Playing
00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:25.419
it up. Yeah. Yeah. With Rhode Island, they're
00:09:25.419 --> 00:09:29.549
just like, it is what it is. Yeah. Well, so it's
00:09:29.549 --> 00:09:32.750
funny because Emma and I went back and unpacked
00:09:32.750 --> 00:09:35.330
the first season of Salt Lake City like and we
00:09:35.330 --> 00:09:39.110
just finished doing the finale. And so I. Oh,
00:09:39.250 --> 00:09:41.889
so this is fresh. This is very fresh for us.
00:09:41.889 --> 00:09:45.450
Absolutely. And like I, I go back and forth because
00:09:45.450 --> 00:09:49.269
I'm like, I, I don't know if Salt Lake City is
00:09:49.269 --> 00:09:51.269
one of the cities that like knew that they were
00:09:51.269 --> 00:09:54.289
going to be housewives in the beginning. Because
00:09:54.289 --> 00:09:57.370
like, you know, like Atlanta wasn't Atlanta was.
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.940
was going to be real housewives new jersey was
00:09:59.940 --> 00:10:01.679
going to be housewives but like everyone else
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.919
it was oh you're going to be something else and
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:05.700
we'll turn it into housewives i don't know salt
00:10:05.700 --> 00:10:09.919
lake city was like that and like i i can see
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:11.340
where they're like playing it up for the camera
00:10:11.340 --> 00:10:13.500
but like even still like i think some of that
00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:18.019
is like like the growth that we saw with heather
00:10:18.019 --> 00:10:21.279
the like the the like honesty we saw like with
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.299
meredith and seth's marriage like i was like
00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:26.179
this is like i like the real life and like and
00:10:26.179 --> 00:10:29.370
that's like i know that If Scott and Jeff from
00:10:29.370 --> 00:10:31.090
Husbands Watching Housewives watch this, like
00:10:31.090 --> 00:10:34.009
I know they defend Beverly Hills because that's
00:10:34.009 --> 00:10:36.450
like their their favorite. And like, I won't
00:10:36.450 --> 00:10:38.509
take that away from them. But I'm like, that's
00:10:38.509 --> 00:10:41.850
why I can't love Beverly Hills, because I'm like,
00:10:41.889 --> 00:10:43.990
I don't know that we're getting their real lives.
00:10:44.070 --> 00:10:46.990
And like, yeah, they've done this so well here.
00:10:47.049 --> 00:10:50.149
So I could I couldn't agree. Yeah, I think. Oh,
00:10:50.169 --> 00:10:52.590
go ahead, Emma. Sorry. I was just going to make
00:10:52.590 --> 00:10:56.149
a quick note that I think there's entertainment
00:10:56.149 --> 00:11:01.590
value in watching how far they'll play it up,
00:11:01.590 --> 00:11:09.470
too. It's fun to watch how far Jen would go to
00:11:09.470 --> 00:11:11.750
make sure she stays on Housewives. You know what
00:11:11.750 --> 00:11:15.210
I mean? I feel like I can tell when they're being
00:11:15.210 --> 00:11:18.490
fake and being larger than they'd actually be.
00:11:19.629 --> 00:11:22.909
And it's funny. Like, it's funny to see, you
00:11:22.909 --> 00:11:25.629
know. Yeah, I think with Salt Lake, the reason
00:11:25.629 --> 00:11:28.649
why it was so incredible that first season is
00:11:28.649 --> 00:11:33.190
that you got to peek into like Mormon culture,
00:11:33.370 --> 00:11:35.850
Mormon lives. Like that was new. That was exciting.
00:11:36.230 --> 00:11:39.110
And then everyone on that show was like a character,
00:11:39.269 --> 00:11:42.409
you know, like they all had their little quirks
00:11:42.409 --> 00:11:44.629
about them and they were all interesting and
00:11:44.629 --> 00:11:47.539
their stories were all interesting. who's from
00:11:47.539 --> 00:11:49.679
Utah, who's not and who's in the church, who's
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:54.139
not. So just I think that their dynamics were
00:11:54.139 --> 00:11:57.120
great in the first season. But Rhode Island still
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:01.059
wins. Rhode Island wins for me. For sure. I agree.
00:12:01.179 --> 00:12:04.000
I think as far as like diverse personalities
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.539
go, Salt Lake City still has the edge. But something
00:12:07.539 --> 00:12:09.679
about how the girls get along in Rhode Island
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:15.970
is just. And you mentioned like the how far Jen
00:12:15.970 --> 00:12:19.590
Shaw would take like that, the like playing it
00:12:19.590 --> 00:12:22.850
up. I go back to that to the scene with Liz and
00:12:22.850 --> 00:12:26.389
Joellen outside of that club where the Frank
00:12:26.389 --> 00:12:30.269
Sinatra guy was singing. And it's like, OK, got
00:12:30.269 --> 00:12:34.009
it. I agree. And like we all have you have I
00:12:34.009 --> 00:12:39.039
have. I got it. Agreed. I totally agree, Joellen.
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.740
I agree. However, however. How are you? Dolly
00:12:43.740 --> 00:12:49.120
said I was sorry 12 times. Dolly was never homeless.
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:51.600
You think that that's a character and I'm like,
00:12:51.620 --> 00:12:53.500
I feel like some people are like, oh, she's playing
00:12:53.500 --> 00:12:56.460
it up. I wholeheartedly believe that was as real
00:12:56.460 --> 00:12:58.820
and as raw as it gets. I do not believe she was
00:12:58.820 --> 00:13:01.240
playing anything up. And I think that was her.
00:13:02.100 --> 00:13:05.820
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's what I love about
00:13:05.820 --> 00:13:08.519
it. The fact that people are like, you know,
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.059
being friends with Liz is an abusive relationship.
00:13:11.259 --> 00:13:16.460
I mean, like, you know, so here's what I want
00:13:16.460 --> 00:13:18.980
to ask you guys. Question. Yes, please. How do
00:13:18.980 --> 00:13:23.120
you think the cast is going to behave for season
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:27.269
two after? Now they're, because when you're first
00:13:27.269 --> 00:13:29.529
season, you don't have, I mean, you can read
00:13:29.529 --> 00:13:31.710
viewer, you know, comments and be in the comments,
00:13:31.750 --> 00:13:33.610
whatever, during the season, but it's already
00:13:33.610 --> 00:13:35.389
filmed. So you can't change what has already
00:13:35.389 --> 00:13:37.590
been, you know, edited and everything else. But
00:13:37.590 --> 00:13:39.669
how do you think, who do you think is going to
00:13:39.669 --> 00:13:41.710
be the most, let me ask this, who do you think
00:13:41.710 --> 00:13:44.529
is going to change the most in season two based
00:13:44.529 --> 00:13:52.279
on viewer feedback? That's a tough one. i know
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.340
i don't have an answer either here's how i feel
00:13:56.340 --> 00:14:02.240
i would hope for it to be rula but i don't think
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:05.179
it will be because she's it's a defense mechanism
00:14:05.179 --> 00:14:08.220
what she's doing obviously i don't blame her
00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:12.779
like she's heartbroken anyway i hope it's not
00:14:12.779 --> 00:14:17.120
liz That's my really strong opinion on that.
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.080
I love her. And I think she's like being raw
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:23.039
and real. And I think she's like leaving space
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:28.100
for forgiveness too. And so I hope she doesn't
00:14:28.100 --> 00:14:32.120
read comments like that and like go easy on camera.
00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:34.500
You know what I mean? Like I want her to keep
00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:42.580
being her. I, if Liz does come back, I think
00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:47.720
that Liz, She will not like water it down a little
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:50.980
bit. I think she'll like I think you'll see the
00:14:50.980 --> 00:14:52.720
wheels turning. And I think that that's like
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.799
the result of that will be like she's going to
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.320
be a little bit kinder and not as intense if
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.320
we do see her change. I hope she doesn't. And
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:02.759
I hope she does come back because, you know,
00:15:02.779 --> 00:15:05.919
there's like a situation going on with her legally
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:08.240
right now. And I hope that we get past that.
00:15:09.139 --> 00:15:13.519
I think. joellen and alicia will be identical
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.139
to the people that we've seen now because i think
00:15:16.139 --> 00:15:17.820
the reception to them has been so incredible
00:15:17.820 --> 00:15:21.120
and i think that i think that alicia honest to
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:23.480
god i don't think she has the capacity to change
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:26.240
because i think this like she is just what you
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.059
see is what you get and i love that about her
00:15:28.059 --> 00:15:34.799
um i think rosie probably will Like there's going
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:36.720
to be some PR that comes out and it's like, OK,
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:39.740
how can I like because I think I think the reaction
00:15:39.740 --> 00:15:43.419
to how she treated Kelsey, I think will burn
00:15:43.419 --> 00:15:47.559
her a little bit. I think that Rula is the one
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.039
that will probably change the most. And I hope
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.559
that I'm wrong about this. But I think do you
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.460
remember when Miami came back and we got Larsa
00:15:56.460 --> 00:15:59.840
Pippen, who had like been like Kim Kardashianified
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:04.789
a little bit? I feel like that is going to be
00:16:04.789 --> 00:16:06.889
it's we're going to see something similar with
00:16:06.889 --> 00:16:10.169
Rula and I hope I'm wrong because I want to see
00:16:10.169 --> 00:16:13.330
the real Rula because I think like we we did
00:16:13.330 --> 00:16:16.649
a collab with Cam who's gay for Bravo on TikTok
00:16:16.649 --> 00:16:20.690
and he. talked about like he wanted to see like
00:16:20.690 --> 00:16:23.590
the the Lebanese representation and like I would
00:16:23.590 --> 00:16:26.210
like to see more about her giving the other women
00:16:26.210 --> 00:16:28.330
like financial advice about like hey this is
00:16:28.330 --> 00:16:29.690
how you have to protect yourself because I think
00:16:29.690 --> 00:16:31.750
a lot of women that watch these shows could really
00:16:31.750 --> 00:16:35.870
benefit from hearing that I I hope I'm wrong
00:16:35.870 --> 00:16:39.309
about where I think it's headed with Rula I really
00:16:39.309 --> 00:16:47.049
do I hope that Rula shows more of her life if
00:16:47.049 --> 00:16:51.909
she comes back for sure I don't want Rosie to
00:16:51.909 --> 00:16:57.870
change. I like her. I do, too. I like her. She
00:16:57.870 --> 00:17:01.750
says what she wants to say. And also, she made
00:17:01.750 --> 00:17:05.890
a point early on to say she's uncomfortable.
00:17:06.089 --> 00:17:09.750
She's a nervous person. She's not used to all
00:17:09.750 --> 00:17:11.589
this kind of stuff. And so she's trying to let
00:17:11.589 --> 00:17:14.700
them know. I'm not used to this kind of environment,
00:17:14.859 --> 00:17:16.960
this intense environment. And so like, take it
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.220
easy or like, give me, give me space to breathe
00:17:19.220 --> 00:17:21.200
and to understand. Like she's, she tried her
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.240
best. I just, I don't, I like her personality.
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:27.839
I think she's funny. I'm going to meet her. She's
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.900
coming to DC for a slam pig summer. She's doing
00:17:30.900 --> 00:17:34.680
like a little mentor. So I'm going to meet her
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:37.420
end of this month. So I'm very excited for that.
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:41.559
But yeah, I hope that she doesn't see any feedback.
00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:43.579
I want her to just stay. And I think her husband
00:17:43.579 --> 00:17:46.140
will help her, too. I think all the husbands
00:17:46.140 --> 00:17:51.259
are so level -headed that they will help. The
00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:55.279
husbands are great. Except for Brian. Well, you
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:58.779
are. Brian, he's trash. I consider him an ex
00:17:58.779 --> 00:18:01.259
already because I want Rula to come back like
00:18:01.259 --> 00:18:05.039
Ashley Darby in her single era. Oh, yeah. That's
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:10.390
what I want for her. Yeah. But in the other because
00:18:10.390 --> 00:18:15.509
I didn't mention them, Kelsey and Ashley, I think
00:18:15.509 --> 00:18:19.690
they are like they are two just genuinely sweet,
00:18:19.890 --> 00:18:25.549
sweet, sweet girls. And I hope that I hope that
00:18:25.549 --> 00:18:28.130
like the because I'm here's the God's honest
00:18:28.130 --> 00:18:32.750
truth. The fans of Bravo can be vicious. And
00:18:32.750 --> 00:18:37.369
I hope that like they only get the. best of like
00:18:37.369 --> 00:18:39.750
the feedback because I think like I don't I don't
00:18:39.750 --> 00:18:41.910
I don't want any of these women to change like
00:18:41.910 --> 00:18:43.829
even if Rula like is still trying to protect
00:18:43.829 --> 00:18:45.589
that space in her life I don't want her to change
00:18:45.589 --> 00:18:50.109
either I love these women your personalities
00:18:50.109 --> 00:18:52.910
just all work together there's something for
00:18:52.910 --> 00:18:55.109
everyone housewives fan wherever you like the
00:18:55.109 --> 00:18:58.009
villain or the quiet one or the one that's like
00:18:58.009 --> 00:19:00.509
I was talking to Karen about this yesterday about
00:19:00.509 --> 00:19:02.490
how in housewives you have to have like a medium
00:19:02.490 --> 00:19:05.150
housewife you have to have someone that just
00:19:05.589 --> 00:19:07.109
Kind of like if you watch Big Brother, it's like
00:19:07.109 --> 00:19:10.170
a floater, you know, and like just floats through
00:19:10.170 --> 00:19:15.450
a little bit. But they they can, you know, activate
00:19:15.450 --> 00:19:17.890
when they need to and then be chill when they
00:19:17.890 --> 00:19:21.369
need to. But you need to have all different levels
00:19:21.369 --> 00:19:23.230
of housewives to make a successful show. And
00:19:23.230 --> 00:19:25.730
I think that's what they have here. If we're
00:19:25.730 --> 00:19:28.990
talking about the archetypes, like who do you
00:19:28.990 --> 00:19:33.799
think would be the villain in Rhode Island? I
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:36.640
have a hot take on that that no one's going to
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.200
like. No one's going to like it. Do you know
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:43.140
who I can see having a villain arc? Joellen.
00:19:43.500 --> 00:19:47.339
Yeah. I knew you were going to say that. Why?
00:19:49.019 --> 00:19:55.359
Why do you think that? Something about her unwillingness
00:19:55.359 --> 00:20:00.680
to let go with that video. Like of her point
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:06.099
to Lula. Sure. Gave me the inklings of like,
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:09.240
like obviously not in this situation, but for
00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:13.160
future situations, her like holding on like a
00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:17.319
terrier to something until it's bigger than it
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:21.319
needs to be kind of. Sure. I can totally see
00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:23.859
that for her. I know people love her. I like
00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:27.259
her. I can see why people love her. But I can
00:20:27.259 --> 00:20:31.160
definitely see that for her, too. Okay. What
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:34.839
about you, Chantel? I could see Joellen as well.
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:37.460
Like, you know, second episode, everyone was
00:20:37.460 --> 00:20:39.119
like, oh, Joellen's a villain. She's the villain.
00:20:39.259 --> 00:20:41.700
And I was like, no, I don't think so. Not yet.
00:20:42.220 --> 00:20:43.880
Episode two was too early to pick a villain.
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.440
I can see it. You know what? Another example
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:50.299
that, and the one you gave, Emma, was great.
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:54.659
When she was talking with Liz on the beach. And
00:20:54.659 --> 00:20:57.579
Liz was like, Joellen, for three hours, I told
00:20:57.579 --> 00:20:59.460
you to stop touching me. Get your hands off of
00:20:59.460 --> 00:21:02.440
me. You wouldn't do it. And Joellen's like, I
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:04.700
know, but I kept doing it because I thought.
00:21:04.740 --> 00:21:08.599
And Liz is like, yeah. So she does. She pushes
00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:11.700
things. She pushes the envelope for sure. Yeah.
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.099
And even her tagline, you know, what's her tagline?
00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:18.819
I'm not mean. I just mean what I say. I say what
00:21:18.819 --> 00:21:21.579
I, yeah. I mean, you know. Yeah. It's right there
00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:24.319
in her tagline, so. That's true. That's true.
00:21:24.420 --> 00:21:26.220
Fair. Okay. Yeah, I could see that with Liz,
00:21:26.220 --> 00:21:29.400
too. I did not. Once they put the, like, clips
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.180
together of Liz swatting her away so many times,
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:35.980
I was like, yeah, Joelle and girl, chill out.
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:39.500
I mean, following her outside in Boston at the
00:21:39.500 --> 00:21:42.759
club and like following her back inside. I would
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:47.130
be annoyed too. Yeah, I would be annoyed. At
00:21:47.130 --> 00:21:50.069
the club, like in the car, like because I don't
00:21:50.069 --> 00:21:52.089
think I don't think Joellen was the bad guy in
00:21:52.089 --> 00:21:54.470
that scenario at all. I'm sorry. I truly thought
00:21:54.470 --> 00:21:58.210
Joellen was trying to fix it. I think the second
00:21:58.210 --> 00:22:02.130
Liz says, hey, get out of my face. You should
00:22:02.130 --> 00:22:05.130
probably stay out of her face. OK, that's fair.
00:22:05.210 --> 00:22:07.750
And I feel like Joellen, too, is kind of stubborn.
00:22:07.829 --> 00:22:10.250
Like someone will tell her, like, I don't like
00:22:10.250 --> 00:22:11.910
that you're doing that. Liz is the best example
00:22:11.910 --> 00:22:13.769
of this. But Rula, too, will be like, I don't
00:22:13.769 --> 00:22:15.880
like that you're doing this. And she'll just
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:20.920
keep going. Like they never said it. That's fair.
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:25.619
That's true. That's very true about her. I can
00:22:25.619 --> 00:22:28.079
see Liz getting her. I'm sorry, Joellen getting
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:31.160
the villain edit, even though she is of all of
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:34.720
these women. If I had to pick a favorite, it's
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:38.119
absolutely Joellen, because number one, I think
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:40.220
she's amazing. Number two, her husband is so
00:22:40.220 --> 00:22:43.890
obnoxiously hot and like. that like if they ever
00:22:43.890 --> 00:22:46.450
want to swing by all means i'll swing right with
00:22:46.450 --> 00:22:54.769
them well but but um if it's not joellen i'm
00:22:54.769 --> 00:22:58.390
truly like rosie feels like she could be a little
00:22:58.390 --> 00:23:02.369
bit of a sleeper cell because the way that she
00:23:02.369 --> 00:23:06.170
came out swinging with kelsey tells me like she
00:23:06.170 --> 00:23:09.730
is a girl like And Emma and I know a few girls
00:23:09.730 --> 00:23:11.970
like this that like it's like they're cool, they're
00:23:11.970 --> 00:23:14.029
chill, like whatever. And then like when when
00:23:14.029 --> 00:23:18.130
they get set off, it is all bets are off. I'm
00:23:18.130 --> 00:23:21.170
kind of a girl like that, to be honest. I'm kind
00:23:21.170 --> 00:23:24.329
of a girl like that, to be fair to you. I'm a
00:23:24.329 --> 00:23:26.710
Scorpio, so I'm definitely I'm a Scorpio. So
00:23:26.710 --> 00:23:28.369
I'm definitely a little bit like that as well.
00:23:29.250 --> 00:23:33.509
Yeah, I can definitely see her getting like pushed
00:23:33.509 --> 00:23:37.569
to the edge. But like watch it like be like someone
00:23:37.569 --> 00:23:40.970
you would never expect. Like like Ashley. Like
00:23:40.970 --> 00:23:42.829
it's like something's going to like just push
00:23:42.829 --> 00:23:45.930
her over the edge. Just make her flip. Yeah.
00:23:46.170 --> 00:23:50.430
I had to look up Rosie's sign. She's a Taurus.
00:23:52.009 --> 00:23:56.269
I don't know anything about astrology. So yeah.
00:23:56.390 --> 00:23:59.589
So Taurus Taurus is a bull like they're bullheaded.
00:24:00.390 --> 00:24:04.769
OK. I can see. She's also like loyal. And yeah.
00:24:05.379 --> 00:24:07.539
So, OK, I was just curious what her sign was
00:24:07.539 --> 00:24:10.380
because I was like, yeah, I can see that. Nice.
00:24:11.420 --> 00:24:14.599
But I feel like we've talked a lot around it.
00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:16.720
Let's do you guys want to get into the finale
00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:21.819
and unpacking it? Yeah, let's do it. OK, so we
00:24:21.819 --> 00:24:24.380
get the opening shots and like I always love
00:24:24.380 --> 00:24:26.940
the beginning of a finale because like and Emma
00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:28.539
and I just talked about this with Salt Lake City.
00:24:28.660 --> 00:24:32.960
Like we we got the like just like how much happened
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:36.789
in. in this season and it was this was a short
00:24:36.789 --> 00:24:42.269
it was 13 episodes they packed in a lot like
00:24:42.269 --> 00:24:47.890
this was so so great and then we get to like
00:24:47.890 --> 00:24:50.309
just the opening scene where liz calls kelsey
00:24:50.309 --> 00:24:52.029
while they're getting they're packing for the
00:24:52.029 --> 00:24:56.289
the island trip and um we get a confessional
00:24:56.289 --> 00:24:58.029
where liz says yeah i'm not gonna let the little
00:24:58.029 --> 00:25:00.009
stuff bother me anymore and i immediately was
00:25:00.009 --> 00:25:02.509
like But let's just see how that goes. And I
00:25:02.509 --> 00:25:05.569
was pleasantly surprised by this. But everyone
00:25:05.569 --> 00:25:08.690
starts to get ready to head over to the ferry
00:25:08.690 --> 00:25:12.549
for Block Island. Joellen shows up and it's immediately
00:25:12.549 --> 00:25:17.569
so awkward with with Liz. And also, I know, Chantel,
00:25:17.609 --> 00:25:19.410
you said you take notes, too. So like I take
00:25:19.410 --> 00:25:21.309
notes like a crazy person. Feel free to like
00:25:21.309 --> 00:25:26.240
jump in or whatever, like wherever. because i
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:29.039
i'm curious like what what you picked up on versus
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:31.599
like what emma and i typically pick up on um
00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:35.480
but like they're all getting on this fairy ashley
00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:39.700
is obnoxiously gorgeous like i like she is so
00:25:39.700 --> 00:25:43.559
pretty and just like naturally pretty and they
00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:47.000
get to this like very like beachy or new england
00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:52.940
new england looking beach and um i i don't like
00:25:53.950 --> 00:25:57.349
you you live in like the in the northeast like
00:25:57.349 --> 00:25:59.970
are all beaches like this because like i mean
00:25:59.970 --> 00:26:03.190
i the only like context i have is like the hamptons
00:26:03.190 --> 00:26:07.089
from went from new york and like i like it looks
00:26:07.089 --> 00:26:09.589
like every beach i was ever at in the hamptons
00:26:09.589 --> 00:26:11.750
like is it are they all like that i think um
00:26:11.750 --> 00:26:14.529
upper like new england area the beaches are like
00:26:14.529 --> 00:26:18.099
that like rocky Rough sea, you know, the rough
00:26:18.099 --> 00:26:22.359
ocean, the waves. Where I live, I go to the beach
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:25.220
like in Delaware. And it's not like that at all.
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:29.140
Okay. So it's definitely like a New England type
00:26:29.140 --> 00:26:32.660
beach. But it was gorgeous. I mean, it was so
00:26:32.660 --> 00:26:35.799
pretty. Nice. But apparently it was freezing
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:39.019
there. Apparently. And like they filmed this
00:26:39.019 --> 00:26:41.180
over the summer. So I'm just like is. Is it just
00:26:41.180 --> 00:26:43.920
cold there like all the time? Right, right. And
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:45.700
I might be going there in October and I'm like,
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:51.599
oh, my gosh, I'm going to be freezing. So Joellen
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:53.380
decides she wants to take Liz for a walk on the
00:26:53.380 --> 00:26:56.539
beach. And I correct me if I'm wrong, because
00:26:56.539 --> 00:26:59.740
apparently I'm a Joellen apologist. But I've
00:26:59.740 --> 00:27:02.119
I truly felt like she wanted to fix this. And
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:05.779
I felt like like they edited to they edited it
00:27:05.779 --> 00:27:08.870
to make Liz look like she wasn't that. interested
00:27:08.870 --> 00:27:11.369
but like i i was happy with the way it all ended
00:27:11.369 --> 00:27:13.769
but like do you guys feel like joellen was like
00:27:13.769 --> 00:27:20.970
i i need to fix this yes 100 she was like her
00:27:20.970 --> 00:27:23.289
goal was to make up with liz she said i want
00:27:23.289 --> 00:27:26.430
that the love feeling back in our in our friendship
00:27:26.430 --> 00:27:31.930
um you know she's she told liz um you know i've
00:27:31.930 --> 00:27:35.930
missed you did you miss me and liz was like okay
00:27:36.779 --> 00:27:39.200
Yes. Sure. I forget how exactly it went, but
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:42.680
but she's pressing her, like pressuring her to
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:46.259
respond back. And I just let Liz come to you
00:27:46.259 --> 00:27:48.660
or let her say what she wants to say. She wants
00:27:48.660 --> 00:27:52.400
to say it. Don't force her to respond to what
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:58.420
you're saying. You know, that's fair. So I did
00:27:58.420 --> 00:28:01.519
feel like it was begrudging on Liz's part, but
00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:04.500
I also felt like Joellen and forgive me, but
00:28:04.500 --> 00:28:07.299
like I felt like Joellen was like, this this
00:28:07.299 --> 00:28:09.220
is real like this is not for the cameras this
00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:11.799
is real like come on like i think she was like
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:13.940
trying to find something there so like but i
00:28:13.940 --> 00:28:15.940
can see where that would feel like oh my god
00:28:15.940 --> 00:28:17.660
just like let the woman have her feelings which
00:28:17.660 --> 00:28:22.759
is fair um i and i i literally wrote like i honestly
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:25.960
feel like this all boils down to liz saying a
00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:29.180
lot of shit she just did not mean in the moment
00:28:29.180 --> 00:28:33.589
and like truly if if she I don't know that Liz
00:28:33.589 --> 00:28:36.230
is this person, but like this, this truly would
00:28:36.230 --> 00:28:39.009
have been the perfect thing to blame on menopause.
00:28:39.009 --> 00:28:40.509
Like, cause I would have given her a pass if
00:28:40.509 --> 00:28:43.109
she would have said that. Like I, like, yeah,
00:28:43.269 --> 00:28:50.369
a hundred percent. Um, and then like, I don't
00:28:50.369 --> 00:28:53.019
like, I. As a guy, I don't want to be like, oh,
00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:55.619
it's a woman. It must be she's going through
00:28:55.619 --> 00:28:57.700
menopause or whatever. It's because I equate
00:28:57.700 --> 00:28:59.400
that to be like, oh, are you on your period?
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:01.420
I feel like that's such a mean thing to say.
00:29:02.660 --> 00:29:08.619
Well, I'm of the age where I'm perimenopausal,
00:29:08.619 --> 00:29:13.240
so whatever that means. I definitely think that
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:14.460
it definitely could have been something with
00:29:14.460 --> 00:29:17.279
her, with her hormones just like going haywire
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:20.559
that made Liz, you know, act the way that she
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:25.279
did. Yeah. I don't know. I think Liz felt like,
00:29:25.299 --> 00:29:27.220
oh, go ahead. Sorry. No, no, no, please, please,
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:30.480
please go ahead. I think that Liz just kind of
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:32.220
wanted to get it resolved and just get it over
00:29:32.220 --> 00:29:34.660
with. You know, she kind of was like, I want
00:29:34.660 --> 00:29:37.460
to start fresh. I want to start fresh, move forward.
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:39.920
And Joellen's like. No, I don't want to start
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:42.700
fresh. I want to go back to where we were before
00:29:42.700 --> 00:29:45.059
all this happened and continue building on what
00:29:45.059 --> 00:29:48.160
we had before. And it kind of ended up just agreeing
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.079
to start fresh at the end. Well, this is something
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:53.880
that we talked about with husbands watching Housewives.
00:29:53.980 --> 00:29:56.480
We're like a trigger for me is when literally
00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:58.980
anyone is like, oh, let's just start over. Like
00:29:58.980 --> 00:30:02.759
because I I'm like, no, you can't take some stuff
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:05.339
back. Like and I think like that, like the breaks
00:30:05.339 --> 00:30:08.509
in a friendship also like. make a friendship
00:30:08.509 --> 00:30:11.950
stronger. And I literally wrote, I love that
00:30:11.950 --> 00:30:14.089
Joellen said, I want to go back to where our
00:30:14.089 --> 00:30:16.849
friendship was and just keep going. Like, cause
00:30:16.849 --> 00:30:20.690
I, I, I, I loved that. I loved that she said
00:30:20.690 --> 00:30:23.190
that. Yeah, I did too. I think that Joellen was
00:30:23.190 --> 00:30:25.369
being very open and very honest, very vulnerable.
00:30:26.029 --> 00:30:32.069
Um, I loved it. Yeah. Um, So Rula, we cut back
00:30:32.069 --> 00:30:33.690
to Rula after we see the guys running around
00:30:33.690 --> 00:30:35.789
the beach and Joellen's hot husband. Like any
00:30:35.789 --> 00:30:38.630
time we get a cutaway to Joellen's husband, I'm
00:30:38.630 --> 00:30:40.390
like, oh, I'm going to mention it because I love
00:30:40.390 --> 00:30:45.289
him. But we get a cutaway to Rula acknowledging
00:30:45.289 --> 00:30:49.069
that she hasn't really been around. And this
00:30:49.069 --> 00:30:51.230
is something that I never really considered where
00:30:51.230 --> 00:30:53.869
she brings up the timing of Joellen bringing
00:30:53.869 --> 00:30:56.190
the thing to her at the polo match. And like
00:30:56.190 --> 00:31:00.420
I. Kind of get where she's coming from with that,
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.140
because it's like, first of all, you're on camera.
00:31:03.220 --> 00:31:06.339
You are like there's tons of people around. I
00:31:06.339 --> 00:31:08.720
don't know who Rula knew there, but like I have
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:11.440
to assume she knew some people there. And it's
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:14.599
like I you're you're bringing my cheating, terrible
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:17.099
husband to me right now. I don't want to deal
00:31:17.099 --> 00:31:19.019
with this right now. But I wish she just would
00:31:19.019 --> 00:31:20.660
have said that in the moment, because that is
00:31:20.660 --> 00:31:25.670
so valid. That is so fair. And she did mention
00:31:25.670 --> 00:31:28.049
that, I think, in the confessional in this last
00:31:28.049 --> 00:31:30.450
episode where she said, you know, the issue was
00:31:30.450 --> 00:31:34.349
that Joellen was wanting to, you know, give her
00:31:34.349 --> 00:31:36.750
the proof, but do it in front of everyone at
00:31:36.750 --> 00:31:39.329
a polo event. Why are you not coming to me privately?
00:31:40.069 --> 00:31:42.369
Number one, it's housewives, so that's not going
00:31:42.369 --> 00:31:46.269
to happen. But number two, number two, I mean.
00:31:47.210 --> 00:31:48.730
I don't know. What do you think about the fact
00:31:48.730 --> 00:31:50.609
that Joellen just showed all the girls when they're
00:31:50.609 --> 00:31:52.369
at the Newport mansion? She just showed them
00:31:52.369 --> 00:31:56.569
all the video before Rula even knew it existed.
00:31:59.190 --> 00:32:03.410
OK, this is the one criticism I can find of Joellen.
00:32:03.450 --> 00:32:08.930
We're like, and by the way, Joellen is a good
00:32:08.930 --> 00:32:11.690
housewife. You cannot say she's not a good housewife.
00:32:12.670 --> 00:32:17.490
I wish that. it didn't go to all the women first
00:32:17.490 --> 00:32:20.130
because because here's the thing joellen went
00:32:20.130 --> 00:32:22.289
to rula and said if you want proof i will find
00:32:22.289 --> 00:32:24.289
you proof like and i truly believe she was being
00:32:24.289 --> 00:32:25.910
a girl's girl there and i think she was doing
00:32:25.910 --> 00:32:29.329
everything in her power to be like i i i've got
00:32:29.329 --> 00:32:35.789
my friends back here and i think that she kind
00:32:35.789 --> 00:32:39.259
of offset that when she took it to the girls
00:32:39.259 --> 00:32:42.160
and it's like whatever and part of part of me
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:44.359
can be like well she's making good tv part of
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:49.500
me can be like oh well she um she she's like
00:32:49.500 --> 00:32:52.500
proving that her her credibility but like i i
00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:54.539
don't think that was right i i will i will agree
00:32:54.539 --> 00:32:58.640
with you i think that that was a rough move yeah
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:00.900
and i and i would if i was a little i'd feel
00:33:00.900 --> 00:33:03.259
you know embarrassed humiliated i mean it's embarrassing
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:06.660
I want you like here's the God's honest truth
00:33:06.660 --> 00:33:08.960
there. There are people that are known in the
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:12.680
community like they're like you're not like just
00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:15.440
a no one that's on the end up on the Real Housewives
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:17.700
like they have to have some like public facing
00:33:17.700 --> 00:33:23.240
persona. And I mean, he's a doctor. She is a
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:26.619
financial planner. So they're dealing with people
00:33:26.619 --> 00:33:29.960
in the community. This has to be. one of the
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:33.140
most humiliating outcomes I can imagine for any
00:33:33.140 --> 00:33:35.019
marriage to begin with. But anyone that knows
00:33:35.019 --> 00:33:39.319
people in your community, that sucks. I she's
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:47.359
absolutely humiliated. Yeah. But. But I also
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:49.400
do like that she does acknowledge because this
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.099
has been an ongoing conversation, like just like
00:33:52.099 --> 00:33:55.099
after like seeing the season really does acknowledge,
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:59.390
hey, I haven't been around much and I. she's
00:33:59.390 --> 00:34:01.269
just being honest about it I do like that she
00:34:01.269 --> 00:34:04.329
calls it out because like I think it was a tough
00:34:04.329 --> 00:34:06.089
look to just like be in the bed for half the
00:34:06.089 --> 00:34:07.609
season because like she didn't really leave her
00:34:07.609 --> 00:34:09.769
house for the first half of the season no she
00:34:09.769 --> 00:34:12.690
didn't she was she was asking a lot for a full
00:34:12.690 --> 00:34:16.710
time so um but like I say if you don't show up
00:34:16.710 --> 00:34:19.329
to the events the storyline keeps moving on without
00:34:19.329 --> 00:34:26.300
you so absolutely um and then billy pulls uh
00:34:26.300 --> 00:34:28.179
gary to the side he talks about how he's going
00:34:28.179 --> 00:34:32.059
to redo his engagement to alicia and like i think
00:34:32.059 --> 00:34:36.719
that is so sweet like it was so adorable well
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:40.960
the whole like just the idea that he like and
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:44.119
devil's advocate you can probably say like uh
00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:46.699
he knew that like how this is going to look on
00:34:46.699 --> 00:34:51.539
camera and he knew how the bravo sphere is going
00:34:51.539 --> 00:34:54.750
to perceive like I've been with this woman for
00:34:54.750 --> 00:34:56.909
nine years and I haven't like we haven't like
00:34:56.909 --> 00:34:59.730
actually made it official. I I can imagine that
00:34:59.730 --> 00:35:01.550
there was some of that there. But like, I truly
00:35:01.550 --> 00:35:05.289
think that this was coming from a place of like,
00:35:05.369 --> 00:35:08.030
let's do this. Like whatever got him there. I
00:35:08.030 --> 00:35:10.929
really do like that. I do, too. I don't. Yeah,
00:35:11.110 --> 00:35:16.809
I'm iffy on him, Billy. But. But he scored a
00:35:16.809 --> 00:35:18.829
lot of points with that. I know because you could
00:35:18.829 --> 00:35:20.809
tell he was awkward and uncomfortable. And then
00:35:20.809 --> 00:35:23.909
when they showed Rosie and her husband peering
00:35:23.909 --> 00:35:26.369
down from the window, you could see like the
00:35:26.369 --> 00:35:28.849
one Bravo cameraman just there filming. And I'm
00:35:28.849 --> 00:35:31.610
like, it has to be so awkward for him right now.
00:35:31.889 --> 00:35:35.650
But he did a great job. He did. And Alicia really,
00:35:35.769 --> 00:35:37.110
I mean, she deserved that. When she told her
00:35:37.110 --> 00:35:39.730
engagement story the first time around. Oh, my
00:35:39.730 --> 00:35:45.579
Lord. I. I couldn't I couldn't I was like you
00:35:45.579 --> 00:35:48.460
got a fudgesicle at the like he didn't even ask
00:35:48.460 --> 00:35:50.460
you a question he was like it's on the dresser
00:35:50.460 --> 00:35:53.860
pick up take your big pregnant self up and go
00:35:53.860 --> 00:35:55.840
look at the ring I bought you on top of the dresser
00:35:55.840 --> 00:36:01.260
I was I think I was texting you while like I
00:36:01.260 --> 00:36:03.639
was like while that scene was on and I was like
00:36:04.409 --> 00:36:06.250
i was like i there's no way i heard that right
00:36:06.250 --> 00:36:08.070
i had to like rewind that and watch it because
00:36:08.070 --> 00:36:10.829
i was like oh this was just trash like the original
00:36:10.829 --> 00:36:15.170
engagement was trash yeah um but then we cut
00:36:15.170 --> 00:36:17.429
back to rula and she starts to talk about the
00:36:17.429 --> 00:36:19.750
video where she's like hey let's let's call it
00:36:19.750 --> 00:36:23.730
out because i don't think and correct me if i'm
00:36:23.730 --> 00:36:26.849
wrong i don't we haven't seen joellen actually
00:36:26.849 --> 00:36:29.329
talk to rula about the video yet the only person
00:36:29.329 --> 00:36:31.590
that's talked to her about it is Rosie, right?
00:36:31.809 --> 00:36:34.469
It's Rosie. Yeah. Yeah. At the Arabian Nights
00:36:34.469 --> 00:36:39.150
party. Yep. OK. And it finally seems like, OK,
00:36:39.230 --> 00:36:40.710
we've got something from Rula. She's going to
00:36:40.710 --> 00:36:42.610
come out swinging like because the way she was
00:36:42.610 --> 00:36:45.869
talking about it, I was like, we're we're getting
00:36:45.869 --> 00:36:51.610
something real. Right. And then we go start going
00:36:51.610 --> 00:36:54.349
back and forth between that. And then we get
00:36:54.349 --> 00:36:56.530
a cutaway to Kelsey unpacking the video situation
00:36:56.530 --> 00:36:58.929
with Joellen. And I'm sorry, it was Kelsey that
00:36:58.929 --> 00:37:02.460
talked to her about it, not Rosie. Right. Oh,
00:37:02.460 --> 00:37:08.300
my gosh. At the Arabian Nights party. It was
00:37:08.300 --> 00:37:12.179
I did a whole video on this. I think it was Kelsey
00:37:12.179 --> 00:37:13.579
because they were the ones talking. Kelsey was
00:37:13.579 --> 00:37:15.079
like, oh, yeah, it didn't seem like she really
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:16.619
wanted. Because, yeah, it was Kelsey because
00:37:16.619 --> 00:37:18.380
she was like, oh, yeah, they talked about how
00:37:18.380 --> 00:37:21.159
it was AI and like timestamped or whatever. Oh,
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.659
right. OK, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. OK, so I
00:37:23.659 --> 00:37:26.099
also like couldn't tell the difference between
00:37:26.099 --> 00:37:28.380
Kelsey and Rosie for a very long time. It took
00:37:28.380 --> 00:37:30.380
me probably to like episode four or five. So,
00:37:30.380 --> 00:37:36.239
yeah, I agree. But so there she's unpacking that
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:42.639
with Joelle and Alicia. And the way so like Emma
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:45.099
kind of alluded to this earlier, where like we
00:37:45.099 --> 00:37:47.920
get this like intense, like she's she takes things
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:51.849
really, really far. talks about how she's not
00:37:51.849 --> 00:37:53.809
a liar. And like the way she said it, she's like,
00:37:53.869 --> 00:37:55.929
I'm not a liar. And like, I think part of that
00:37:55.929 --> 00:37:58.210
probably stems back to like the childhood thing
00:37:58.210 --> 00:37:59.989
where like, cause you heard her mom call it out
00:37:59.989 --> 00:38:03.650
with the lies or whatever. I have a feeling that's
00:38:03.650 --> 00:38:05.329
where some of that's coming from, but like, it
00:38:05.329 --> 00:38:10.719
was very intense. It was. And then we cut back
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:12.599
to Rula and like I literally wrote because like
00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:14.820
there there's not an ugly woman on this cast.
00:38:14.940 --> 00:38:16.880
I just want to start there. But like Rula is
00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:21.159
so hot. Like how could anyone ever see her? She's
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:26.860
gorgeous. And then. All the women start to go
00:38:26.860 --> 00:38:29.460
into the hotel and I hate this hotel. Like Emma
00:38:29.460 --> 00:38:31.219
and I have talked a lot on this podcast about
00:38:31.219 --> 00:38:34.460
like how I'm a Marriott Bonvoy loyalist. Like
00:38:34.460 --> 00:38:37.719
it is that is that like I couldn't stay in this
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:41.639
hotel. I hate most wallpapers and that wallpaper
00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:44.199
in each room was not beating those allegations.
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:48.099
I hated it so much. Yeah, it definitely was giving
00:38:48.099 --> 00:38:53.440
like early, early century, you know, historic
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:57.159
hotel. Do you know what? Like, I couldn't stop
00:38:57.159 --> 00:38:59.400
thinking about in each one of these rooms is
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:01.219
like Anne of Green Gables. Like, that's what
00:39:01.219 --> 00:39:04.480
it was. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. OK. Yeah, that's totally
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:10.460
it. Yeah. Yeah. And then. Hi, beautiful. I'm
00:39:10.460 --> 00:39:13.000
back. I couldn't even unmute myself to tell you
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:16.679
I was stepping away. I just texted Travis because
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:22.519
the screaming was intense. Glad you're back.
00:39:23.739 --> 00:39:27.159
I almost called it out because I feel like I
00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:29.340
have a habit of just like never shutting up.
00:39:29.380 --> 00:39:30.780
And I was like, Emma's actually on mute. You
00:39:30.780 --> 00:39:35.099
guys don't be mad at me. No, no, no, no, no.
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:39.219
I, um, I had to mute myself. He was like freaking,
00:39:39.219 --> 00:39:40.739
he's going through one of those stages where
00:39:40.739 --> 00:39:43.340
babies go through, like he will not calm down
00:39:43.340 --> 00:39:47.079
for dad, you know, go through it for like 15
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:48.880
minutes. And that's why I kept muting myself
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:51.659
and unmuting. And so I was like, all right, all
00:39:51.659 --> 00:39:54.659
right, all right. It's okay. Yeah, it's all good.
00:39:55.300 --> 00:39:59.219
I have to be so honest. Like I, part of the charm
00:39:59.219 --> 00:40:02.960
of this podcast, Emma, I think is like, this
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:06.539
is being as unprofessional as the day is long,
00:40:06.619 --> 00:40:08.679
not knowing what we're doing. And like, but also
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:10.579
like, it's, there's, there's such like, we're
00:40:10.579 --> 00:40:12.579
not polished about it. And I'm like, yeah, Emma's
00:40:12.579 --> 00:40:14.320
baby's fucking crying. What do you want? Like,
00:40:14.380 --> 00:40:17.139
I mean, it's real life. It's real life. Yeah.
00:40:17.900 --> 00:40:22.559
It's fine. but it does make for a fun time editing
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:25.900
I like sent a thing to Emma this is like a full
00:40:25.900 --> 00:40:28.380
segue but like I sent a thing to Emma like where
00:40:28.380 --> 00:40:33.079
they're like I have to cut out like 20 minutes
00:40:33.079 --> 00:40:35.519
at a time of like me like if something happens
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:37.420
with the baby and I'm just like oh my Christ
00:40:37.420 --> 00:40:46.969
like we're still um but yeah it's um so we're
00:40:46.969 --> 00:40:48.570
like getting the shots like of everyone like
00:40:48.570 --> 00:40:52.789
unpacking in the hotel and uh that joelle and
00:40:52.789 --> 00:40:54.969
her hot husband are unpacking their like feelings
00:40:54.969 --> 00:40:57.869
about the ruler situation and then we cut over
00:40:57.869 --> 00:40:59.849
to ruler running around in her cover up with
00:40:59.849 --> 00:41:01.750
a slit all the way up her legs and it's like
00:41:01.750 --> 00:41:06.869
i hate any interaction with brian like i i understand
00:41:06.869 --> 00:41:09.170
like you're like this is your husband and like
00:41:09.170 --> 00:41:11.969
if you want to stay with him like i get it like
00:41:11.969 --> 00:41:14.619
whatever I hate seeing him on my screen. I hate
00:41:14.619 --> 00:41:16.860
him so much. Like, he, like, makes me angry.
00:41:16.940 --> 00:41:20.420
And he's, like, the only bad part of this show,
00:41:20.699 --> 00:41:25.480
honestly, in my mind. I know. Yeah, I agree.
00:41:25.619 --> 00:41:31.840
Not a fan. He's so, like, outside of the cheating.
00:41:32.059 --> 00:41:35.280
He's, like, so icky, too. Like, the Versace crew
00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:39.980
neck and all. Ugh. Like, I don't want it. Like,
00:41:39.980 --> 00:41:43.420
ugh. Like, oh, did you dress up for the camera?
00:41:43.619 --> 00:41:50.159
Shut up. Yeah, he he's just a cheater, cheater,
00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:53.239
pumpkin eater. I just I don't even I just can't.
00:41:53.659 --> 00:41:59.880
That's it. So Billy takes Alicia out to the the
00:41:59.880 --> 00:42:04.500
like the his plan. And like, I couldn't see this.
00:42:04.579 --> 00:42:06.280
Like when I saw that it was like the candles
00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:07.980
in the circle. This is how they used to summon
00:42:07.980 --> 00:42:11.610
ghosts on Charmed. It was a heart. It was in
00:42:11.610 --> 00:42:15.590
the shape of a heart. Was it? Oh, it was? No.
00:42:16.289 --> 00:42:18.329
Oh, I thought it was just a circle of candles.
00:42:18.590 --> 00:42:21.349
Oh, I missed the heart. And I watched it twice.
00:42:21.409 --> 00:42:28.429
I totally didn't get that. But like, I love this
00:42:28.429 --> 00:42:30.889
scene because I, this was real. Like, this is
00:42:30.889 --> 00:42:36.409
like, you can tell. Like, you. Alicia reminds
00:42:36.409 --> 00:42:39.369
me so much of my aunt Tanya. And she is someone
00:42:39.369 --> 00:42:41.550
who it's like, I'm just going to keep talking.
00:42:41.630 --> 00:42:42.969
And like, whatever's on my mind, it's just going
00:42:42.969 --> 00:42:44.110
to come out of my mouth. And it's like, I want
00:42:44.110 --> 00:42:46.250
to cry. Like, Oh, you didn't get any snacks while
00:42:46.250 --> 00:42:47.789
we're out here. I love champagne. Like, and it's
00:42:47.789 --> 00:42:50.369
just like, she's just like, this is her. And
00:42:50.369 --> 00:42:51.929
she's like, you didn't give me a new ring. You
00:42:51.929 --> 00:42:53.349
didn't give me this. And I'm, and she's like
00:42:53.349 --> 00:42:55.369
telling the guy, she's like, Oh, he did a bad
00:42:55.369 --> 00:42:57.590
job with the first engagement. And I'm like,
00:42:57.610 --> 00:43:01.250
I love this so much. Cause like, yeah, this is
00:43:01.250 --> 00:43:06.059
their real relationship. oh it was and the emma
00:43:06.059 --> 00:43:08.699
like tell like you if if you don't mind me sharing
00:43:08.699 --> 00:43:11.739
this emma texted me earlier and she's like my
00:43:11.739 --> 00:43:14.159
hormones are still not in a place but it was
00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:18.739
like not even the moment itself i do love seeing
00:43:18.739 --> 00:43:22.289
a man show up for a woman when she tells him
00:43:22.289 --> 00:43:25.610
she needs it and i thought it was so cute it
00:43:25.610 --> 00:43:28.610
was the girls watching outside of their windows
00:43:28.610 --> 00:43:33.869
i know that was so sweet i know and then all
00:43:33.869 --> 00:43:35.610
and then they were cheering and everything once
00:43:35.610 --> 00:43:38.090
you put the ring back on her finger it was the
00:43:38.090 --> 00:43:41.389
sweetest especially like watching with their
00:43:41.389 --> 00:43:47.239
husbands like oh yeah And it felt so genuine,
00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:49.119
like it was they weren't putting it on for the
00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:51.260
camera. They were all like, I'm really excited
00:43:51.260 --> 00:43:54.940
for my friend. Like, I loved that. I don't think
00:43:54.940 --> 00:43:58.440
it was like an original part of like their unpacking
00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:00.820
scenes for them to see it because some of them
00:44:00.820 --> 00:44:03.139
didn't see it. You know what I mean? Oh, the
00:44:03.139 --> 00:44:04.920
ones that were in the other that weren't in the
00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:07.659
main house didn't see anything. Yeah. I feel
00:44:07.659 --> 00:44:09.619
like they would have like called them to like
00:44:09.619 --> 00:44:11.619
the bar to watch or something. You know what
00:44:11.619 --> 00:44:13.619
I mean? Like if that were going to be the scene,
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:17.340
I feel like it was just an inorganic. Oh, like
00:44:17.340 --> 00:44:19.340
it wasn't on the call sheet. You mean? Yeah.
00:44:19.940 --> 00:44:23.510
Yeah. I. No, I completely agree. And like, I
00:44:23.510 --> 00:44:25.369
think that's what makes this so much better is
00:44:25.369 --> 00:44:27.630
like because you see like they're like, what
00:44:27.630 --> 00:44:29.289
is happening out there? Like what's going on
00:44:29.289 --> 00:44:30.969
out there? And then they realize what's happening.
00:44:31.130 --> 00:44:36.449
And I was like, oh, yeah, I just oh, my gosh.
00:44:36.489 --> 00:44:38.610
The fact that he's like, I'm not romantic. I
00:44:38.610 --> 00:44:40.710
don't know how to do these things. And he's and
00:44:40.710 --> 00:44:44.929
he said I made a note that he said he was worried
00:44:44.929 --> 00:44:48.449
that she was going to think he was dumb. And
00:44:48.449 --> 00:44:51.880
I was like, oh, my God. Gosh, I just was like,
00:44:51.940 --> 00:44:54.739
and, you know, and you can tell, like, he's not,
00:44:54.739 --> 00:44:56.699
you know, this is not his thing, but he definitely
00:44:56.699 --> 00:44:58.699
worked with the hotel, got the flowers, got it
00:44:58.699 --> 00:45:00.920
set up, got her champagne and all the things.
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:04.760
So, you know, it just really, after everything
00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:07.699
else he's done this season with Pizza Mama and
00:45:07.699 --> 00:45:09.739
all the little comments he's made here and there,
00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:12.280
this kind of redeemed him for me at the end.
00:45:12.420 --> 00:45:14.860
I like him too. And then I have one other thing
00:45:14.860 --> 00:45:21.900
to say. No, no, please go ahead. So I was also
00:45:21.900 --> 00:45:25.880
touched by the fact that he like before when
00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:28.900
they were on the beach, he was like man enough
00:45:28.900 --> 00:45:31.420
to tell one of the other husbands that like he
00:45:31.420 --> 00:45:34.719
wanted to do this and he needs help. Yes. It
00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:38.579
has to take like some balls to be like, I'm doing
00:45:38.579 --> 00:45:41.960
a romantic gesture, girl. I don't know. You know?
00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:45.460
Well, no, he he did. He took Gary's finance aside
00:45:45.460 --> 00:45:48.719
and said, hey, you've known Alicia since she's.
00:45:48.969 --> 00:45:51.329
six years old right like what do you think about
00:45:51.329 --> 00:45:57.449
this and like how this I know I I could like
00:45:57.449 --> 00:46:01.750
that was so good like oh I was I couldn't get
00:46:01.750 --> 00:46:05.889
enough of that yeah um but I want to like so
00:46:05.889 --> 00:46:07.989
for I want to talk about Billy for one second
00:46:07.989 --> 00:46:13.789
because I think he got kind of a bad rap with
00:46:13.789 --> 00:46:15.710
the whole like I didn't put her name on the house
00:46:15.710 --> 00:46:19.070
and like I didn't she's not like part owner of
00:46:19.070 --> 00:46:22.130
pizza mama like yes that is that is a rough look
00:46:22.130 --> 00:46:26.489
but like do you guys remember the episode where
00:46:26.489 --> 00:46:29.329
uh alicia did like the presentation of like this
00:46:29.329 --> 00:46:31.190
is what i want to do for pizza mama and like
00:46:31.190 --> 00:46:33.510
i want i and she she talked about what she wanted
00:46:33.510 --> 00:46:37.670
in that moment i got the impression that billy
00:46:37.670 --> 00:46:42.329
is a guy that is a lot like my papa who he just
00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:45.500
Like it goes without saying that like things
00:46:45.500 --> 00:46:47.019
are just going to be taken care of because he
00:46:47.019 --> 00:46:49.360
does say like, yeah, I have an estate plan. And
00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:51.239
like, if God forbid something happens to me,
00:46:51.300 --> 00:46:53.840
yeah, you will be taken care of. And it's something
00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:55.780
that Alicia needed to hear. But it's something
00:46:55.780 --> 00:46:58.820
that Billy, I think, thought went without saying.
00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:02.940
So like that was kind of my redemption arc for
00:47:02.940 --> 00:47:05.340
him. And like this just put the cherry on top
00:47:05.340 --> 00:47:12.599
for me. I mean, would it be nice? To me, the
00:47:12.599 --> 00:47:20.039
sign print under her not being named is that
00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:23.699
if they were to split up before they got married,
00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:27.019
especially, she wouldn't get to be a part of
00:47:27.019 --> 00:47:32.019
it. But I genuinely feel like after seeing the
00:47:32.019 --> 00:47:35.780
full season, I don't think in Billy's head they
00:47:35.780 --> 00:47:40.170
will ever, ever split up. No, I 100 percent agree.
00:47:40.230 --> 00:47:43.869
I think that in their mind or in Billy's mind,
00:47:43.929 --> 00:47:45.710
he's just like, you know, like whether or not
00:47:45.710 --> 00:47:47.730
we get married, like this is just my person.
00:47:47.789 --> 00:47:49.929
Like, that's OK. Like, yeah, they have a child
00:47:49.929 --> 00:47:53.630
together. You know, I mean. Yeah. And he's like
00:47:53.630 --> 00:47:57.429
present in there, even though he's like a businessman,
00:47:57.809 --> 00:48:04.440
obviously. Yeah. So then we start like we. We
00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:06.940
get all of the like cheering for them. It was
00:48:06.940 --> 00:48:10.880
God, that was so good. And then everyone starts
00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:14.980
to head to the bar for dinner. And that's where
00:48:14.980 --> 00:48:18.980
Joellen is going to go talk to Rula. And this
00:48:18.980 --> 00:48:23.099
like the next the episode from this point on
00:48:23.099 --> 00:48:25.360
did not stop in my mind. I was like this. They
00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:27.820
are firing on all cylinders. This is good stuff.
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:32.659
So Joellen. looked incredible like joellen's
00:48:32.659 --> 00:48:35.420
hot like like she is like just hot to begin with
00:48:35.420 --> 00:48:37.739
but like which when she wears the dresses that
00:48:37.739 --> 00:48:39.920
are like cut out like right under her boobies
00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:43.679
and like it's she's showing a lot of skin i like
00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:47.659
i yeah love that i love those dresses yeah she's
00:48:47.659 --> 00:48:52.280
very hot very hot um i love the dress that rula
00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:54.880
is wearing because like rula does color very
00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:57.579
well like and like she's got i i feel like rula
00:48:57.579 --> 00:49:01.139
could make a burlap sack look good but like she
00:49:01.139 --> 00:49:06.019
the body is gorgeous too um i also thought they
00:49:06.019 --> 00:49:08.559
complemented each other like the blue of joelle's
00:49:08.559 --> 00:49:11.219
dress was the same blue of frula's dress oh yeah
00:49:11.219 --> 00:49:13.960
yeah that's true and like they weren't speaking
00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:15.760
at this point so you know they didn't plan that
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:18.699
i was just like women know what they look good
00:49:18.699 --> 00:49:24.320
in um but then brian shows up down at the bar
00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:26.340
looking sweaty and gross and i hate him so much
00:49:26.340 --> 00:49:29.750
that's literally just what i wrote and joe ellen's
00:49:29.750 --> 00:49:33.590
hot husband gary pulls brian aside and i would
00:49:33.590 --> 00:49:39.650
he's the the him defending his wife i'm like
00:49:39.650 --> 00:49:43.809
oh like like i can't get enough gary love gary
00:49:43.809 --> 00:49:47.130
but he pulls her pulls her aside he's like hey
00:49:47.130 --> 00:49:51.650
let's let's talk about this video brian fully
00:49:51.650 --> 00:49:53.949
admits that it's real he's like yeah the video
00:49:53.949 --> 00:49:56.659
is real where he's been gaslighting Rula and
00:49:56.659 --> 00:49:58.460
everyone else around him so I'm like why why
00:49:58.460 --> 00:50:00.480
are you gonna be like that with Gary and like
00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:02.199
be honest with him but like lie to all the women
00:50:02.199 --> 00:50:07.340
I hate you for that and and this is what Gary
00:50:07.340 --> 00:50:10.480
is like I don't care what you do I don't like
00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:11.840
if you're gonna whatever you're doing you're
00:50:11.840 --> 00:50:13.559
doing like whatever you need to deal with you
00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:16.820
need to deal with do not call my wife a liar
00:50:16.820 --> 00:50:20.500
and I was like god he is so hot oh I was gonna
00:50:20.500 --> 00:50:25.789
say he's so hot in that moment And I literally
00:50:25.789 --> 00:50:29.110
wrote like, if I ever get married, that is what
00:50:29.110 --> 00:50:31.369
I need my future husband to be just like that.
00:50:33.349 --> 00:50:35.530
He was not he wasn't playing anymore. He was
00:50:35.530 --> 00:50:38.110
tired of the whole summer, everyone calling her
00:50:38.110 --> 00:50:42.510
a liar, making it you know, why is Joellen the
00:50:42.510 --> 00:50:45.969
issue? You know, she's not the issue. She's not
00:50:45.969 --> 00:50:48.230
the problem. Brian, Brian is the problem. The
00:50:48.230 --> 00:50:51.329
cheater is the problem. I don't I don't I don't
00:50:51.329 --> 00:50:54.099
like how. The whole season or this whole, you
00:50:54.099 --> 00:50:56.519
know, she's just fighting for her life. You know,
00:50:56.579 --> 00:50:59.400
like for her care, for her character. You know,
00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:04.820
I'm not a liar. Yes. So Rula and Joellen have
00:51:04.820 --> 00:51:07.179
their conversation and it cuts back to that.
00:51:07.340 --> 00:51:12.719
And I thought this is this is something you don't
00:51:12.719 --> 00:51:14.840
get a lot in Housewives, where this is two women
00:51:14.840 --> 00:51:18.139
who know how to communicate. And I thought they
00:51:18.139 --> 00:51:19.639
did such a good job in that conversation because
00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:25.170
it could have gone. so bad and I think Rula did
00:51:25.170 --> 00:51:27.210
a great job of saying okay this is why I feel
00:51:27.210 --> 00:51:30.409
the way I do and Joellen said I thought you said
00:51:30.409 --> 00:51:32.690
you wanted me to get proof I like that's what
00:51:32.690 --> 00:51:35.050
I thought I was helping and I'll buy that like
00:51:35.050 --> 00:51:38.510
did she did she mess up a little bit 100 % absolutely
00:51:38.510 --> 00:51:42.150
but I think her heart was always in the right
00:51:42.150 --> 00:51:47.110
place and I like the way that ended and then
00:51:47.110 --> 00:51:50.519
Joellen heads down to dinner Gross, sweaty Brian
00:51:50.519 --> 00:51:53.860
walks by Joellen and I'm like, oh, how dare you
00:51:53.860 --> 00:51:59.000
grace that woman's presence? I have an observation
00:51:59.000 --> 00:52:01.739
and Chantel, I feel like you're going to have
00:52:01.739 --> 00:52:05.019
a great take on whether I'm crazy or not. OK,
00:52:05.139 --> 00:52:10.400
but I felt like maybe the age difference between
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:14.280
Rula and Joellen was relevant here because I
00:52:14.280 --> 00:52:18.690
feel like. joellen to an extent was almost like
00:52:18.690 --> 00:52:23.309
excited she had the tea and rula was annoyed
00:52:23.309 --> 00:52:26.269
by that and wanted it to be more like i'm so
00:52:26.269 --> 00:52:28.070
sorry you're going through this girl but you
00:52:28.070 --> 00:52:30.170
said you wanted me to find proof and so here
00:52:30.170 --> 00:52:33.110
it is like in private and i think that might
00:52:33.110 --> 00:52:37.650
be like an age discrepancy thing thoughts um
00:52:37.650 --> 00:52:40.489
that's a great question i'm looking up their
00:52:40.489 --> 00:52:45.559
ages really quick um Well, so Rula owns a financial
00:52:45.559 --> 00:52:48.159
planning firm, so that puts her at a minimum
00:52:48.159 --> 00:52:52.019
in her mid 40s, because I'm like, you don't you
00:52:52.019 --> 00:52:54.500
don't you don't just do that in your 30s. Like,
00:52:54.500 --> 00:52:59.019
yeah, Rula's estimated to be 46 and Joellen 38.
00:53:00.659 --> 00:53:02.840
Yes, that's older than I thought for Joellen.
00:53:02.920 --> 00:53:04.820
Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's not an age thing,
00:53:04.940 --> 00:53:07.880
but that is kind of like the dynamic I picked.
00:53:08.449 --> 00:53:11.570
No, I think you're 100 percent right. Yeah, I
00:53:11.570 --> 00:53:13.530
think you're right, too. And I think, too, it's
00:53:13.530 --> 00:53:20.329
also their culture. You know, I think I made
00:53:20.329 --> 00:53:23.190
a comment early on. I forget what it is now,
00:53:23.329 --> 00:53:26.170
but a comment about, you know, they don't talk
00:53:26.170 --> 00:53:27.690
about this kind of stuff in her family. You know,
00:53:27.730 --> 00:53:30.730
it's hush hush. It's private. It's quiet. And
00:53:30.730 --> 00:53:32.530
then you have Joellen on the flip side telling,
00:53:32.630 --> 00:53:35.469
you know, all of Rhode Island what's going on.
00:53:35.590 --> 00:53:39.309
And so I can totally understand why. Rula felt
00:53:39.309 --> 00:53:41.670
that way. And I'm glad that Rula said, told her
00:53:41.670 --> 00:53:44.630
how she felt versus, because remember when she
00:53:44.630 --> 00:53:46.429
was talking to the women or before, before at
00:53:46.429 --> 00:53:48.849
the beach, she was like, I don't want to talk
00:53:48.849 --> 00:53:50.530
to Joella right now, but you guys can tell her
00:53:50.530 --> 00:53:52.530
this message for me. And Liz was like, no, you
00:53:52.530 --> 00:53:54.510
can tell her your damn self. She was like, I'm
00:53:54.510 --> 00:53:57.730
not going to relay this message for you. I love
00:53:57.730 --> 00:53:59.670
the way Liz said that though, where she's like,
00:53:59.730 --> 00:54:01.730
no, no, no, no, no. You need to like, you need
00:54:01.730 --> 00:54:04.190
to speak your truth. You need to be honest. I
00:54:04.190 --> 00:54:10.079
loved that. Yeah, me too. I think that's the
00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:14.719
real being a girl's girl. Yeah, it's supporting
00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:17.099
your friend, but also letting them know, like,
00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:19.360
you need to speak up for your own self. Push
00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:22.239
her into her strength. Yeah, absolutely. And
00:54:22.239 --> 00:54:25.360
I think and I like that is I never once thought
00:54:25.360 --> 00:54:26.980
about that, Emma, because I think you're right.
00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:31.739
Like, I think we we this is one of the. younger
00:54:31.739 --> 00:54:34.599
groups of women like on average that we've seen
00:54:34.599 --> 00:54:36.260
on housewives because like i think when you think
00:54:36.260 --> 00:54:38.579
of real housewives you typically think mid 40s
00:54:38.579 --> 00:54:41.219
early 50s or like in ramona singer's case like
00:54:41.219 --> 00:54:46.699
almost 70 and like that no that's completely
00:54:46.699 --> 00:54:48.519
valid it's like i don't think we've seen such
00:54:48.519 --> 00:54:52.480
a skewed not not a skewed age gap is like the
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:54.559
the worst way to say this but like i do think
00:54:54.559 --> 00:54:56.460
there there's a there's a difference in maturity
00:54:56.460 --> 00:54:59.929
almost i think that's completely fair 100 Yeah.
00:54:59.949 --> 00:55:03.369
Yeah. And it can even just be like a personality
00:55:03.369 --> 00:55:07.530
thing. You know, some people like the gossip,
00:55:07.590 --> 00:55:10.070
like the tea, like all of that. But like you
00:55:10.070 --> 00:55:13.269
said, Rula comes from a family where like if
00:55:13.269 --> 00:55:16.329
the whole state, because Rhode Island is a dot
00:55:16.329 --> 00:55:19.489
on a map. Yeah. If the whole state is talking
00:55:19.489 --> 00:55:22.789
about it and that leads to the end of your marriage,
00:55:22.809 --> 00:55:26.530
especially like that, I can see that being so
00:55:26.530 --> 00:55:30.849
taboo and like. Oh, sure. And I feel like maybe
00:55:30.849 --> 00:55:33.949
she didn't come to Joelle's defense as much as
00:55:33.949 --> 00:55:38.510
maybe you or I would have, because it's like
00:55:38.510 --> 00:55:42.429
the easy out in that instance would be to call
00:55:42.429 --> 00:55:44.329
her a liar. Like if she's telling the whole state
00:55:44.329 --> 00:55:46.889
of Rhode Island what's going on, even if it's
00:55:46.889 --> 00:55:48.710
breaking your heart and it's true and it's real,
00:55:48.849 --> 00:55:51.590
but you don't want to tarnish the reputation
00:55:51.590 --> 00:55:54.489
like that. It's easy to just be like, no, she's
00:55:54.489 --> 00:55:59.989
lying. Absolutely. Yeah. But then the women head
00:55:59.989 --> 00:56:04.409
out to dinner and it just looks like the worst.
00:56:04.690 --> 00:56:07.090
It's cold. It's windy. They have those like heating
00:56:07.090 --> 00:56:10.849
lamps up. I'm like, girl, you couldn't have done
00:56:10.849 --> 00:56:12.610
this in the dining room. But like, I do love
00:56:12.610 --> 00:56:14.409
an outside dinner because like it takes me back
00:56:14.409 --> 00:56:17.730
to season. What was Monica Garcia's season of
00:56:17.730 --> 00:56:19.869
Salt Lake City? That was season four where they
00:56:19.869 --> 00:56:21.949
like did the thing on the beach. Like it took
00:56:21.949 --> 00:56:24.510
me back to that. I was like, I love a good outside
00:56:24.510 --> 00:56:28.159
dinner. It's I can't get it out of there. Like
00:56:28.159 --> 00:56:30.179
I told you, I write notes like I'm insane. I
00:56:30.179 --> 00:56:31.940
like I just start writing my thoughts sometimes.
00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:34.400
I'm like, I feel like I wouldn't be super into
00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:37.000
a clam bake, but I like the idea of this vibe.
00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:40.500
I like I just wish I was into seafood because
00:56:40.500 --> 00:56:42.699
like I feel like I would love to go to a clam
00:56:42.699 --> 00:56:46.199
bake. I would not enjoy the food, though. Yeah,
00:56:46.380 --> 00:56:49.780
I don't I don't like clams or things like that.
00:56:49.900 --> 00:56:51.760
I don't like seafood in general. I'm picky on
00:56:51.760 --> 00:56:55.909
I'm picky on seafood. i love all i'm so jealous
00:56:55.909 --> 00:56:58.110
of you because i'm it's so good for you but like
00:56:58.110 --> 00:57:00.650
i it's a texture thing for me i don't know but
00:57:00.650 --> 00:57:06.469
um yeah yeah and then we i i'm such a hypocrite
00:57:06.469 --> 00:57:08.710
about this because like when we did this with
00:57:08.710 --> 00:57:10.170
husbands watching housewives i was like oh of
00:57:10.170 --> 00:57:12.130
course the first thing they do is pull out a
00:57:12.130 --> 00:57:13.809
game where it's like we're gonna get to know
00:57:13.809 --> 00:57:15.949
each other better and then i literally wrote
00:57:15.949 --> 00:57:20.170
oh my god yeah they're playing another game really
00:57:20.170 --> 00:57:24.489
because i was I've thought about the games like
00:57:24.489 --> 00:57:27.969
in this specific series. It's kind of silly,
00:57:28.230 --> 00:57:30.289
right? Because they all already know each other.
00:57:30.389 --> 00:57:32.590
Like you're not going to find out any new genuine
00:57:32.590 --> 00:57:37.090
information. It's all just. I I think part of
00:57:37.090 --> 00:57:39.949
this is the producers pushing the women to be
00:57:39.949 --> 00:57:42.329
like, this is this is for the audience. Like,
00:57:42.349 --> 00:57:46.710
do you remember, Emma, when we talked about Secret
00:57:46.710 --> 00:57:49.530
Lives of Mormon Wives and like Jesse, every change
00:57:49.530 --> 00:57:54.320
she got pulled out that. damn truth box oh yes
00:57:54.320 --> 00:57:58.199
yes and i'm just like this is a hundred percent
00:57:58.199 --> 00:58:01.000
like they were like hey like let's do a call
00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:04.599
back to episode one i thought this was executed
00:58:04.599 --> 00:58:06.579
much better though because these were very good
00:58:06.579 --> 00:58:09.460
questions i thought these like this it feels
00:58:09.460 --> 00:58:11.679
like someone sat down and like thought this out
00:58:11.679 --> 00:58:13.699
like it was like the the people that make like
00:58:13.699 --> 00:58:16.739
that card game in the red box the like uh we're
00:58:16.739 --> 00:58:18.460
not really strangers game i'm like oh someone
00:58:18.460 --> 00:58:22.940
actually thought through this But that's just
00:58:22.940 --> 00:58:28.039
me. Yeah. The questions were good. Yes. We get
00:58:28.039 --> 00:58:31.219
like I didn't care about any other question except
00:58:31.219 --> 00:58:34.860
for Rula's question, which is. Yes. Literally,
00:58:35.000 --> 00:58:37.099
what is the most embarrassing thing your partner
00:58:37.099 --> 00:58:40.059
has done in public? And like the way that I gay
00:58:40.059 --> 00:58:42.699
gasped when that question came up and she looked
00:58:42.699 --> 00:58:46.239
at her husband and this is where I think she
00:58:46.239 --> 00:58:50.130
started to break. like is when she like this
00:58:50.130 --> 00:58:52.130
was I think hard and then I think it was Liz
00:58:52.130 --> 00:58:54.289
or someone that said like it doesn't have to
00:58:54.289 --> 00:58:56.409
be about your husband like you can you can throw
00:58:56.409 --> 00:58:57.929
it to someone else and then she throws it to
00:58:57.929 --> 00:59:01.750
Gary who said I don't think I don't think Joellen's
00:59:01.750 --> 00:59:04.610
ever embarrassed me and like like I'm just like
00:59:04.610 --> 00:59:07.010
you don't have a bad answer in you dude I love
00:59:07.010 --> 00:59:14.469
you I know but like this is I think this is where
00:59:14.469 --> 00:59:16.940
like the wheels start to turn a little bit And
00:59:16.940 --> 00:59:20.380
do you remember this is a deep cut, but there
00:59:20.380 --> 00:59:23.639
was an episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey
00:59:23.639 --> 00:59:27.420
where they're all at a party and something I
00:59:27.420 --> 00:59:31.400
don't remember exactly what Teresa did, but she
00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:34.440
said they she said they better not use this footage.
00:59:34.480 --> 00:59:36.579
And I think Melissa was the one who said, oh,
00:59:36.659 --> 00:59:38.000
they're absolutely going to use it. And then
00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:41.239
Teresa, like, oh, yeah, yeah, because I think
00:59:41.239 --> 00:59:44.239
she realized, like, oh. America's going to see
00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:47.619
exactly what happened in my marriage. And I think
00:59:47.619 --> 00:59:53.159
I obviously reacted differently, but like. Yeah.
00:59:53.159 --> 00:59:55.920
Like seeing her break a little bit and like seeing
00:59:55.920 --> 00:59:58.659
just how bad Brian was at being like, hey, no,
00:59:58.820 --> 01:00:00.119
like everything's going to because he was like,
01:00:00.139 --> 01:00:02.940
you put aside your ego. And I'm like, you cheated
01:00:02.940 --> 01:00:05.679
on her. You trash. I couldn't. I was like, you
01:00:05.679 --> 01:00:07.960
are. I'm like, and she was like ego. And he was
01:00:07.960 --> 01:00:11.719
like, oh, I'm going to use the right words or
01:00:11.719 --> 01:00:13.559
just don't like he doesn't even know how to say
01:00:13.559 --> 01:00:18.489
anything consoling to her at all. I just don't
01:00:18.489 --> 01:00:20.690
understand it. I feel like if you're going to
01:00:20.690 --> 01:00:24.090
take a man back after he cheats, he should be
01:00:24.090 --> 01:00:27.610
kissing your toes and nothing else. Like, shut
01:00:27.610 --> 01:00:30.889
up. In this scenario, like the only thing that
01:00:30.889 --> 01:00:32.789
should have come out of his mouth is I'm sorry
01:00:32.789 --> 01:00:36.590
for what I did. I'm sorry that like, I'm sorry.
01:00:36.630 --> 01:00:38.269
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's all you can say.
01:00:38.489 --> 01:00:47.050
I've embarrassed. I was wrong. I, we've never
01:00:47.050 --> 01:00:49.449
heard him say any of those things to her that
01:00:49.449 --> 01:00:53.110
we've seen that I can, no, he's just the video,
01:00:53.110 --> 01:00:55.369
you know, the timestamp can be, can be altered.
01:00:55.449 --> 01:00:59.389
You know, it's, I just, I can't with him. Like,
01:00:59.489 --> 01:01:04.900
okay, Brian, I just. I really hope they just
01:01:04.900 --> 01:01:07.619
like don't show him anymore if she's going to
01:01:07.619 --> 01:01:10.440
stay with him. I have a feeling that he's so
01:01:10.440 --> 01:01:13.940
sleazy and gross. And I feel like his reaction
01:01:13.940 --> 01:01:18.360
to everything and the way he just kind of like
01:01:18.360 --> 01:01:22.059
breezes through it, if anything, is just an indication
01:01:22.059 --> 01:01:24.780
to me that he is still cheating. Oh, absolutely.
01:01:24.940 --> 01:01:29.079
And like, do you. Yeah, the toast is like really
01:01:29.079 --> 01:01:31.780
what set me over the edge for him, because I
01:01:31.780 --> 01:01:33.980
literally wrote Brian opens his whore mouth and
01:01:33.980 --> 01:01:36.639
does a little toast where he was like, well,
01:01:36.800 --> 01:01:39.719
cheers to this, because everyone knows more about
01:01:39.719 --> 01:01:41.599
us than we know about ourselves. And I was like,
01:01:41.679 --> 01:01:44.820
shut your whore mouth. I hate you. You trash
01:01:44.820 --> 01:01:48.760
man. Shut up, Brian. Yeah, he made that comment
01:01:48.760 --> 01:01:51.880
about thanks for making us the most popular couple
01:01:51.880 --> 01:01:53.820
or most talked about couple. And I was like,
01:01:53.940 --> 01:01:56.239
you're not taking this seriously, dude. You're
01:01:56.239 --> 01:01:58.179
not taking this seriously at all. Your wife is
01:01:58.179 --> 01:02:01.280
right here bawling her eyes out. You've embarrassed
01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:05.239
her for all these months. And oh, thanks for
01:02:05.239 --> 01:02:07.019
making us popular. She doesn't want to be popular,
01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:09.719
dude. No. She's not interested in that. Like.
01:02:09.860 --> 01:02:12.099
She wants her life to stay, her home to be stable.
01:02:12.300 --> 01:02:18.320
Yeah. And like. The only scenario in which I
01:02:18.320 --> 01:02:21.280
can accept any of his behavior is if Rula said.
01:02:22.190 --> 01:02:25.469
cover it up we are going to put a good face on
01:02:25.469 --> 01:02:27.610
for the show and that's going to be that and
01:02:27.610 --> 01:02:31.329
like deny deny deny i feel like even then you
01:02:31.329 --> 01:02:35.989
feel even yes i agree yeah oh i hate him but
01:02:35.989 --> 01:02:42.030
we get the the comedic relief of a lifetime with
01:02:42.030 --> 01:02:46.500
alicia who is wasted I think she started drinking
01:02:46.500 --> 01:02:49.380
at that proposal and just continued drinking
01:02:49.380 --> 01:02:51.519
because like. And yeah, she never she didn't
01:02:51.519 --> 01:02:53.760
stop. She didn't stop at all. She was wasted.
01:02:54.719 --> 01:02:57.719
I love her so much because I mean, she I mean,
01:02:57.719 --> 01:03:00.219
she looks like she weighs like 26 pounds soaking
01:03:00.219 --> 01:03:04.880
wet. And I know, I know, I know. I was thinking
01:03:04.880 --> 01:03:07.239
I was like two glasses of wine or champagne for
01:03:07.239 --> 01:03:09.400
her. And I'm sure she's already like, you know,
01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:12.340
two sheets to the wind. So, yeah, she would not
01:03:12.340 --> 01:03:14.460
stop talking. She would not let Joelle. in a
01:03:14.460 --> 01:03:16.480
rule of talk she wouldn't let anyone talk and
01:03:16.480 --> 01:03:18.940
then billy's like alicia she's like i can say
01:03:18.940 --> 01:03:23.179
it's just hilarious she's so funny what i love
01:03:23.179 --> 01:03:26.860
because she's like i was like oh no this she's
01:03:26.860 --> 01:03:28.920
gonna keep talking and like she's like joellen
01:03:28.920 --> 01:03:30.820
tell her tell her you didn't tell her you weren't
01:03:30.820 --> 01:03:32.119
trying to tell her you had her your back you
01:03:32.119 --> 01:03:35.400
tell her tell her tell her and i was like she
01:03:35.400 --> 01:03:40.000
can't but then joellen was like It was so we're
01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:42.059
going to keep it private. And Alicia just wouldn't
01:03:42.059 --> 01:03:44.760
drop it. And I was like, oh, no, she would not
01:03:44.760 --> 01:03:47.519
drop it at all. I know she woke up the next morning
01:03:47.519 --> 01:03:51.260
with the worst anxiety in the world. No, I don't
01:03:51.260 --> 01:03:52.940
believe that for a second. I believe she woke
01:03:52.940 --> 01:03:56.320
up fresh as a daisy. She I believe she woke up
01:03:56.320 --> 01:03:58.699
like Sonia Morgan after a night of drinking and
01:03:58.699 --> 01:04:02.739
she's like on to the next one. Just feels nothing.
01:04:02.739 --> 01:04:06.500
Feels nothing. I feel like if she if not hung
01:04:06.500 --> 01:04:09.789
over. If that were me, like that moment would
01:04:09.789 --> 01:04:11.710
play over and over and over in my head. Like,
01:04:11.750 --> 01:04:15.429
why didn't I just shut up? But I'm so glad she
01:04:15.429 --> 01:04:17.469
didn't. Like, that's the God's honest truth.
01:04:17.510 --> 01:04:20.650
I know I loved it. It was beautiful. But then
01:04:20.650 --> 01:04:25.869
the other thing that I think was so telling was
01:04:25.869 --> 01:04:30.159
like all these other women hate Brian and. Rosie
01:04:30.159 --> 01:04:32.940
looks at Joellen's and says, Joellen, you are
01:04:32.940 --> 01:04:34.800
not the problem. The problem is sitting right
01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:38.099
next to me and points at Brian. And I like, yes,
01:04:38.139 --> 01:04:42.019
that moment was like, I literally wrote, I just
01:04:42.019 --> 01:04:47.420
love these women. I. Yes, I was like, yes, yes,
01:04:47.460 --> 01:04:51.460
yes. I was like, call it out. I love it. I love
01:04:51.460 --> 01:04:54.440
it. And then. Because what is he going to say?
01:04:54.500 --> 01:04:58.480
You know, I love. a group of girls that can set
01:04:58.480 --> 01:05:02.539
their problems aside for a con a common male
01:05:02.539 --> 01:05:09.159
enemy yes and then 100 we get the closing cards
01:05:09.159 --> 01:05:12.179
of like it's like oh yeah like we the cute little
01:05:12.179 --> 01:05:14.300
like i i didn't read a single one of them because
01:05:14.300 --> 01:05:16.719
like i was like finishing my notes and then i
01:05:16.719 --> 01:05:23.210
forgot that brian got arrested And I was like,
01:05:23.269 --> 01:05:24.750
I literally wrote, oh, my God, there's more.
01:05:24.869 --> 01:05:28.809
I forgot about the arrest. And then we get the
01:05:28.809 --> 01:05:30.929
scene of some of the women going over to Rula's
01:05:30.929 --> 01:05:32.730
house to like process the arrest and like the
01:05:32.730 --> 01:05:36.269
tracker situation. And I have a question about
01:05:36.269 --> 01:05:39.849
this. Because I listened to the Bravo docket
01:05:39.849 --> 01:05:42.369
talk about like how because in the state of Rhode
01:05:42.369 --> 01:05:44.389
Island, if there's a tracker found in the car,
01:05:44.570 --> 01:05:48.150
because from what I understand, BMW made Rula
01:05:48.150 --> 01:05:53.159
go to. the police department and like that's
01:05:53.159 --> 01:05:55.719
that's why the charges got filed and because
01:05:55.719 --> 01:05:59.340
it was a domestic violence charge or having a
01:05:59.340 --> 01:06:01.360
tracker and stalking is considered domestic violence
01:06:01.360 --> 01:06:06.500
they had to pursue the arrest but did am I like
01:06:06.500 --> 01:06:08.699
completely misremembering this or did Rula not
01:06:08.699 --> 01:06:11.440
say at the polo match to Joelle and I have a
01:06:11.440 --> 01:06:20.579
tracker in Brian's car did she say that I don't
01:06:20.579 --> 01:06:24.239
remember if it was exactly that. I have to go
01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:26.599
back and look because I swear to God, I remember
01:06:26.599 --> 01:06:30.139
her saying because it came right before because
01:06:30.139 --> 01:06:32.099
she said like something about like, oh, he I
01:06:32.099 --> 01:06:34.219
have a GPS tracker. He goes to the gym every
01:06:34.219 --> 01:06:37.440
morning. And then Joellen said, does Brian look
01:06:37.440 --> 01:06:40.539
like he goes to the gym like that? I kept replaying
01:06:40.539 --> 01:06:41.880
that in my mind and I haven't gone back to rewatch
01:06:41.880 --> 01:06:44.380
that because I'm like, I am positive she said
01:06:44.380 --> 01:06:46.940
she has a GPS tracker. So I guess my question
01:06:46.940 --> 01:06:54.809
is, is like. Did. Why? Why did she if she has
01:06:54.809 --> 01:06:57.070
a GPS tracker in his car, either a does he know
01:06:57.070 --> 01:07:03.269
about it or B? Is it? I don't know. I have a
01:07:03.269 --> 01:07:07.769
conspiracy. If this is all true. If this is all
01:07:07.769 --> 01:07:13.500
true. What if? That is the tracker she was referring
01:07:13.500 --> 01:07:17.539
to. And Brian is taking the fall for it because
01:07:17.539 --> 01:07:21.039
he knows he's a rotten asshole and Rula shouldn't
01:07:21.039 --> 01:07:23.039
be arrested. Why would she have talked about
01:07:23.039 --> 01:07:29.219
it on camera then, I guess? Well, we know it's
01:07:29.219 --> 01:07:32.139
illegal. If she talked about it on camera, like,
01:07:32.219 --> 01:07:36.730
or not, or got charges or not. it's illegal to
01:07:36.730 --> 01:07:38.369
put a tracker on someone's car unless they know
01:07:38.369 --> 01:07:40.590
about it like that's that's the that's the thing
01:07:40.590 --> 01:07:42.510
that like the bravo docket girls kept saying
01:07:42.510 --> 01:07:46.449
like hey like if it's knowing like it's fine
01:07:46.449 --> 01:07:48.469
but like it's the knowledge of it that is the
01:07:48.469 --> 01:07:53.829
like the indicator in my mind he she just like
01:07:53.829 --> 01:07:58.309
had his location like like 360 or something but
01:07:58.309 --> 01:08:00.989
i don't remember actually yeah i can't remember
01:08:00.989 --> 01:08:05.380
either if she said it directly sure It would
01:08:05.380 --> 01:08:07.380
make more sense if maybe she just has like my
01:08:07.380 --> 01:08:10.199
360 or his location or something. But I would
01:08:10.199 --> 01:08:12.079
imagine he would turn our location off. That
01:08:12.079 --> 01:08:14.380
makes more sense. Because like if she has like
01:08:14.380 --> 01:08:16.439
find my and she's saying it's a GPS tracker,
01:08:16.520 --> 01:08:18.899
like maybe that's what she's talking about. OK,
01:08:19.020 --> 01:08:22.020
that's yeah, that's that's more believable. And
01:08:22.020 --> 01:08:24.159
then like it's like, oh, you took it one step
01:08:24.159 --> 01:08:26.659
further and you took one that I can't. turn off
01:08:26.659 --> 01:08:29.220
like and that's but i guess like i wonder how
01:08:29.220 --> 01:08:32.119
she or why she thought there was a tracker i
01:08:32.119 --> 01:08:35.020
i i hope we get more about that in season two
01:08:35.020 --> 01:08:38.119
because or at the reunion i hope even at the
01:08:38.119 --> 01:08:43.819
reunion i hope he was trying to prove that she's
01:08:43.819 --> 01:08:47.619
hooking up with someone else and god for it oh
01:08:47.619 --> 01:08:50.520
like he was like so insecure about like his indiscretions
01:08:50.520 --> 01:08:53.079
that she's like oh maybe she like trying to like
01:08:53.079 --> 01:08:56.350
find something she's done wrong Or if he doesn't
01:08:56.350 --> 01:08:59.069
want to get fucked over in the divorce and he
01:08:59.069 --> 01:09:01.390
knows that the whole divorce is because he cheated.
01:09:01.829 --> 01:09:04.449
And then if he can prove that she also cheated,
01:09:04.529 --> 01:09:06.909
then then, you know, maybe it'll go over easy.
01:09:07.029 --> 01:09:10.449
No, that's actually really good. I like that.
01:09:12.510 --> 01:09:15.789
Yeah. And then I wonder, well, she dropped the
01:09:15.789 --> 01:09:17.789
charges. She did. She said she didn't want to
01:09:17.789 --> 01:09:20.789
press charges because because it's considered
01:09:20.789 --> 01:09:23.590
a domestic violence charge in the state of Rhode
01:09:23.590 --> 01:09:27.239
Island. So. I have to imagine that like there's
01:09:27.239 --> 01:09:28.960
some implications there, like where he would
01:09:28.960 --> 01:09:31.079
probably lose his medical license because it's
01:09:31.079 --> 01:09:34.399
like one of those things where. Right. I mean,
01:09:34.399 --> 01:09:36.979
she's a she's a financial planner. Like you're
01:09:36.979 --> 01:09:38.560
really going to ruin your chances of getting
01:09:38.560 --> 01:09:40.960
alimony and child support if you do get divorced.
01:09:41.239 --> 01:09:44.279
No, that's not going to happen. Yeah. It might
01:09:44.279 --> 01:09:50.720
also strain like custody of their kids. And she
01:09:50.720 --> 01:09:53.909
probably doesn't want to do that, you know. I
01:09:53.909 --> 01:09:55.869
think she might be staying for the kids, for
01:09:55.869 --> 01:09:57.810
her family, to keep her family together. She
01:09:57.810 --> 01:10:00.710
also did talk about early in the season how,
01:10:00.829 --> 01:10:02.510
like, because I think the producer asked her
01:10:02.510 --> 01:10:04.329
in a confessional, like, isn't this your second
01:10:04.329 --> 01:10:06.550
marriage? And she was like, my family doesn't
01:10:06.550 --> 01:10:09.130
like when I talk about that or something. I imagine
01:10:09.130 --> 01:10:11.510
that there's probably some level of shame there
01:10:11.510 --> 01:10:15.069
with, like, I am divorced. Well, they're a Middle
01:10:15.069 --> 01:10:18.220
Eastern family, right? They're Lebanese. I feel
01:10:18.220 --> 01:10:20.720
like it goes back to like not talking about cheating.
01:10:20.800 --> 01:10:24.619
They probably also can't talk about divorce.
01:10:24.960 --> 01:10:28.060
Yeah. Because the cultural constraints there
01:10:28.060 --> 01:10:32.699
are like very like it's it's it's very like the
01:10:32.699 --> 01:10:36.060
way some of my family is like because of the
01:10:36.060 --> 01:10:37.920
church where it's like you stay in the marriage
01:10:37.920 --> 01:10:39.920
and you figure it out, like whatever it takes.
01:10:40.000 --> 01:10:42.720
And I. Right. I'm a person where I'm like, I
01:10:42.720 --> 01:10:45.100
love divorce. Like, let's do it some more. Let's
01:10:45.100 --> 01:10:48.640
get married just to get divorced. Yeah, I mean,
01:10:48.680 --> 01:10:52.859
me too. But like, I feel like if you grow up
01:10:52.859 --> 01:10:56.840
around, like if you feel different from everyone
01:10:56.840 --> 01:11:00.779
else already being Middle Eastern, and then like,
01:11:00.859 --> 01:11:04.060
you just have to take what your family says as
01:11:04.060 --> 01:11:06.539
the truth, because you know, your culture is
01:11:06.539 --> 01:11:08.479
different from everyone else's. So you have to
01:11:08.479 --> 01:11:10.840
like follow that. I feel like that would play
01:11:10.840 --> 01:11:14.199
a part too. I agree. Absolutely. I think she's
01:11:14.199 --> 01:11:16.560
playing a role. Ruelas is playing a role right
01:11:16.560 --> 01:11:21.479
now. And I would love to see the mask fall down.
01:11:21.800 --> 01:11:27.920
I'm excited for the reunion. Yeah. I just, I
01:11:27.920 --> 01:11:29.359
don't know. I found it interesting and people
01:11:29.359 --> 01:11:31.319
online were like, I don't understand why he would
01:11:31.319 --> 01:11:33.279
be tracking her car. And I was just like, for
01:11:33.279 --> 01:11:36.720
me, it came to me immediately. I was like, so
01:11:36.720 --> 01:11:39.340
he knows when the mistress needs to leave. They
01:11:39.340 --> 01:11:42.000
did say that, yeah. Or leave the office. You
01:11:42.000 --> 01:11:44.100
know, it's like he needs to know where she's
01:11:44.100 --> 01:11:47.380
at so that he can control getting the other woman
01:11:47.380 --> 01:11:50.100
out of the way. You know, or, oh, shoot, she's
01:11:50.100 --> 01:11:51.979
on her way to the office. Like, you need to leave.
01:11:52.060 --> 01:11:56.140
I mean, I don't know. But we don't even know
01:11:56.140 --> 01:11:57.699
what kind of escapades he's going on. He can
01:11:57.699 --> 01:12:00.659
be like on actual dates and need to make sure
01:12:00.659 --> 01:12:02.880
that she's not alone for all we know. Would he
01:12:02.880 --> 01:12:06.920
be? Like, I'm this. I think it was the broth
01:12:06.920 --> 01:12:12.529
bros asked, like, who's dating him? No idea.
01:12:12.909 --> 01:12:15.430
Because podiatry is one of the more lucrative
01:12:15.430 --> 01:12:18.449
medical fields to go into. And if he's doing
01:12:18.449 --> 01:12:21.670
Ozempic and Botox out of his office, there's
01:12:21.670 --> 01:12:23.789
some revenue stream there. Unless it's for the
01:12:23.789 --> 01:12:28.930
money, I don't get it. I can see it being younger
01:12:28.930 --> 01:12:32.710
girls looking for a sugar daddy situation because
01:12:32.710 --> 01:12:36.930
of all the brand labels and stuff like that that
01:12:36.930 --> 01:12:43.199
he does. I could see that. But like other otherwise,
01:12:43.699 --> 01:12:50.699
I have no idea. This truly and I texted this
01:12:50.699 --> 01:12:52.640
Chantel, I texted this to Emma this morning.
01:12:52.699 --> 01:12:56.560
This is the best first season of A Real Housewife
01:12:56.560 --> 01:12:59.420
City we've ever gotten. Like I said, one of earlier,
01:12:59.600 --> 01:13:03.020
this is this is this is it like start to finish.
01:13:03.079 --> 01:13:06.119
Not a single not a single filler episode, not
01:13:06.119 --> 01:13:07.939
a single episode where I was like, oh, we could
01:13:07.939 --> 01:13:13.810
have done without that. so good yeah every single
01:13:13.810 --> 01:13:18.329
scene has been great um i just i'm sad that it's
01:13:18.329 --> 01:13:22.010
i am too but like what's interesting is i think
01:13:22.010 --> 01:13:25.350
it was like the third or fourth episode was that
01:13:25.350 --> 01:13:27.510
that's what lined up with the bravo up fronts
01:13:27.510 --> 01:13:30.510
and That was already renewed. So they were like
01:13:30.510 --> 01:13:33.029
they're they were getting back to filming fast.
01:13:33.270 --> 01:13:36.170
Like it was like, yeah, I think this first couple
01:13:36.170 --> 01:13:38.609
of seasons is going to be like a like a Secret
01:13:38.609 --> 01:13:40.470
Lives of Mormon Wives situation where it's like
01:13:40.470 --> 01:13:43.149
they don't really get a break from filming. So
01:13:43.149 --> 01:13:46.909
I'm. Yeah, just back to back. Yeah. I know they're
01:13:46.909 --> 01:13:50.829
going to start filming like in July. Oh, that's
01:13:50.829 --> 01:13:53.989
like for season two. That's like. Yeah. Yeah.
01:13:56.699 --> 01:14:00.359
That's what my sources tell me. Because me and
01:14:00.359 --> 01:14:02.199
a few other creators are planning a trip to Rhode
01:14:02.199 --> 01:14:05.079
Island. And we're trying to figure out dates.
01:14:05.279 --> 01:14:07.899
And one of the dates was like July 31st through
01:14:07.899 --> 01:14:10.159
August 2nd, when there possibly would be filming.
01:14:12.000 --> 01:14:13.319
But I think we're going to end up going in the
01:14:13.319 --> 01:14:17.399
fall instead. I... Yeah. I think it would be
01:14:17.399 --> 01:14:20.000
so beautiful in the fall. I know. And fall is
01:14:20.000 --> 01:14:21.640
my favorite season. So I'm like, that's actually
01:14:21.640 --> 01:14:23.539
perfect. Oh, it is? Yeah, I'm like, it's perfect
01:14:23.539 --> 01:14:25.979
for me. Yes, I love fall. This is going to be
01:14:25.979 --> 01:14:30.720
good. Some warm, like, seafood soup. Oh, my God.
01:14:30.739 --> 01:14:35.520
Like a crab. Oh, my gosh. It's beautiful. So.
01:14:36.159 --> 01:14:39.859
Crunchy leaves is the best. I know. I might have
01:14:39.859 --> 01:14:42.180
to join you in Rhode Island. I would love a trip
01:14:42.180 --> 01:14:45.840
to Rhode Island. I've never been. Yeah, me neither.
01:14:46.600 --> 01:14:51.159
I never wanted to go until now. I know. I always,
01:14:51.180 --> 01:14:53.859
if anything, do you remember the tirade I went
01:14:53.859 --> 01:14:55.899
on one time about how we should delete Rhode
01:14:55.899 --> 01:14:58.319
Island as a state? I do very fondly remember
01:14:58.319 --> 01:15:00.279
that. You were like, what are they here for?
01:15:01.880 --> 01:15:06.100
Right, right. That little blip. So a question
01:15:06.100 --> 01:15:10.079
for everyone. Who, now that it's all said and
01:15:10.079 --> 01:15:12.220
done, who would you want to be friends with from
01:15:12.220 --> 01:15:18.670
this cast? Ooh. I've said the same girl all season.
01:15:19.050 --> 01:15:22.550
Maybe I just like love it for a sight head over
01:15:22.550 --> 01:15:27.090
heels for her. I love Liz. I love her so much.
01:15:27.430 --> 01:15:31.210
I she really resonates with me. She's too cool
01:15:31.210 --> 01:15:33.069
to be friends with me, though. And I will stand
01:15:33.069 --> 01:15:38.829
on that. I think Liz would be friends with us.
01:15:38.949 --> 01:15:41.170
I really believe that. Like, I think she'd be
01:15:41.170 --> 01:15:43.189
like, come to my huge house. Let's go out on
01:15:43.189 --> 01:15:47.329
this like long dog. Let's go for a walk. Yeah,
01:15:47.470 --> 01:15:51.569
I think more realistically, though, Alicia seems
01:15:51.569 --> 01:15:56.229
like a good time gal. What about you, Chantel?
01:15:58.090 --> 01:16:05.829
Oh, that's hard. Gosh, I want to go with. Oh,
01:16:05.989 --> 01:16:10.470
OK. My first gut reaction was Rosie. Just because
01:16:10.470 --> 01:16:15.260
she's fun. But then I'm thinking more. Liz, even
01:16:15.260 --> 01:16:17.680
though she was a little unhinged, you know, those
01:16:17.680 --> 01:16:21.619
couple episodes, she just seems like she's fun.
01:16:21.680 --> 01:16:24.279
She's easygoing. She likes to be on the water.
01:16:24.399 --> 01:16:30.119
So do I. My only thing with Liz is that I feel
01:16:30.119 --> 01:16:31.720
like I might accidentally call her Dolores by
01:16:31.720 --> 01:16:37.020
accident. I've heard that. I've heard that. Do
01:16:37.020 --> 01:16:40.600
you know, in the finale, when she's on the beach
01:16:40.600 --> 01:16:42.880
with Joellen especially, I'm like, oh my God.
01:16:43.680 --> 01:16:47.020
that that's crazy she looks like her I mean it's
01:16:47.020 --> 01:16:53.220
insane if I okay what about you Travis if I had
01:16:53.220 --> 01:16:57.300
to pick like I feel like naturally I'm gonna
01:16:57.300 --> 01:17:00.880
say Joellen like but if I'm talking about like
01:17:00.880 --> 01:17:03.800
someone who like obviously joelle love joelle
01:17:03.800 --> 01:17:05.680
and but like if i'm if i'm like thinking about
01:17:05.680 --> 01:17:08.319
who like i can see myself truly like a friendship
01:17:08.319 --> 01:17:10.600
like emma and i have like where it's like we
01:17:10.600 --> 01:17:13.000
hang out like there's like it it's it's easy
01:17:13.000 --> 01:17:16.760
it's simple like we're just good friends i truly
01:17:16.760 --> 01:17:22.239
think ashley would be an incredible friend like
01:17:22.239 --> 01:17:26.199
she's like she's cool she's sweet she's she and
01:17:26.199 --> 01:17:29.359
she's just easy like it's like it doesn't feel
01:17:29.359 --> 01:17:32.720
like she's like putting on a show it's like She
01:17:32.720 --> 01:17:34.640
just seems really sweet. I really, really like
01:17:34.640 --> 01:17:39.640
her. She seems like the most real out of all
01:17:39.640 --> 01:17:42.760
of the cast in the sense of like, I see that
01:17:42.760 --> 01:17:47.000
girl every day when I'm out and about. And I
01:17:47.000 --> 01:17:49.239
love that about her. She's like very accessible,
01:17:49.359 --> 01:17:51.960
even though she's like not obviously, you know,
01:17:51.960 --> 01:17:57.340
she's doing glam and her husband's so hot. But
01:17:57.340 --> 01:18:04.069
she's like, she seems very down to earth. But
01:18:04.069 --> 01:18:13.630
what a good season. Like, wow. Yeah. Chantel,
01:18:13.649 --> 01:18:15.210
tell the people where they can find you. Tell
01:18:15.210 --> 01:18:17.310
it. Tell everyone the besties where you are.
01:18:17.449 --> 01:18:22.430
Yes. So I am on Instagram, TikTok and Reddit
01:18:22.430 --> 01:18:27.630
under Purple Panda Pants. All one word. Where
01:18:27.630 --> 01:18:30.899
did Purple Panda Pants come from? Oh, so that
01:18:30.899 --> 01:18:33.600
is my Reddit username that I came up with like
01:18:33.600 --> 01:18:35.420
10 years ago. I've been on Reddit for 10 years.
01:18:36.720 --> 01:18:39.380
And so purple is my favorite color because I
01:18:39.380 --> 01:18:41.819
was a kid and I've loved panda bear since I was
01:18:41.819 --> 01:18:45.260
a kid. And the pants part, I needed a third word
01:18:45.260 --> 01:18:50.220
and it just came out. It means nothing other
01:18:50.220 --> 01:18:51.840
than the purple and the panda part, but it's
01:18:51.840 --> 01:18:55.550
just silly. I like it. it's cute no i mean it's
01:18:55.550 --> 01:18:57.569
memorable people are gonna remember panda pants
01:18:57.569 --> 01:19:01.789
i noticed like because i mean obviously we don't
01:19:01.789 --> 01:19:03.949
have a ton of followers on tiktok but like your
01:19:03.949 --> 01:19:06.229
like screen name stood out to me because i was
01:19:06.229 --> 01:19:09.069

01:19:09.069 --> 01:19:11.090

01:19:14.250 --> 01:19:17.090

is we we were talking about this earlier but
01:19:21.239 --> 01:19:23.640
like when emma when you got on but like i i think
01:19:23.640 --> 01:19:27.340
