Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hi everyone and welcome back to Friends of the Show. We are here to discuss today season 15, episode 16 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Last Supper. And we are so excited today because we are also gonna be going over the newest edition to the Housewives franchise. Real Housewives of Rhode Island.

SPEAKER_01 0:22

Rory.

SPEAKER_00 0:23

Rory! Season one, episode one. Welcome to Rhode Island. They could have had a better title for that.

SPEAKER_01 0:28

Yeah, that was basic, but that's okay. Because the episode wasn't.

SPEAKER_00 0:31

The episode was not.

SPEAKER_01 0:33

But we're gonna go into Beverly Hills first, because that's what aired first, and there's less to discuss.

SPEAKER_00 0:38

Yes, and I feel probably more to discuss on Rory. This one will probably be a little quicker.

SPEAKER_01 0:44

Quicker. Quicker. Because it picks up right where the episode 15 left off, where Kyle and Doree were going at it. And then what happens? Erica finally activated. And she went all the way in.

SPEAKER_00 1:01

She activated like little countress she is.

SPEAKER_01 1:04

Mm-hmm. Literally, because she said, I brought that word to this group. So you're late.

SPEAKER_00 1:09

You're late.

SPEAKER_01 1:10

I liked her little double entendre of using your late.

SPEAKER_00 1:13

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 1:14

It was a good first half I loved. Because I was like, here we go, finally, fight.

SPEAKER_00 1:19

Yeah, I was ready for like a big war because Kyle said, the episode before.

SPEAKER_01 1:26

She did, and Kyle was going around saying this was the biggest fight since Amsterdam when Lisa Renna threw the glass at Kim.

SPEAKER_00 1:33

Which I don't think it was that.

SPEAKER_01 1:34

We didn't get to that level. No. I was waiting for someone to get hurt.

SPEAKER_00 1:37

Yeah, because Lisa didn't just she broke the glass and was like, I'm gonna poke you with it. It was very old school.

SPEAKER_01 1:43

She emptied the glass on Kim first. It was almost to that level. If we had thrown a napkin, Tamara Judge or a glass, Lisa Renna.

SPEAKER_00 1:52

Yeah, or even, you know, Tamra Judge throwing the giving a swill.

SPEAKER_01 1:58

She did throw that wine.

SPEAKER_00 1:59

She swilled wine before Renna. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:02

Just saying. So we don't need to keep discussing Kyle and Dorita. I don't think we've covered that.

SPEAKER_00 2:10

No, Kyle just kept saying, we all think, let's go down the line. She was trying to talk again for everyone else, but then no one, she said, come on, guys, say something. And everyone said, not a word.

SPEAKER_01 2:22

Rachel Zoe was the only one being like, well, I not me actually.

SPEAKER_00 2:27

Because she says, I do think it does suck that you're late, but we've already discussed this, so I'm not part of this.

SPEAKER_01 2:33

And then they said suddenly in her interview, she was like, Am I concerned for Dorite? No, I'm not.

SPEAKER_00 2:40

Should I be?

SPEAKER_01 2:41

I don't know. But Erica Jane, thank you for clocking in.

SPEAKER_00 2:48

Thank you for clocking in and clocking her out because you sent her off. She's so scared of Erica as opposed to Kyle that she did walk off. Because I think she did kind of want to play the pain war, like Erica said, where she wanted to go tit for tat with what they're going through, and she knows she's not gonna win that against Erica when Erica's going through, she went through the divorce, but the husband wound up in prison. And he's old and he's old and feeble, and he's left her with a $25 million lawsuit. And she's got this situation that she talked about with her therapist on the show where she had a domestic violence.

SPEAKER_01 3:32

Which was more recent than anything else.

SPEAKER_00 3:34

Yeah. So she's she's had a lot going on, and she's sat there quietly and just been like, Dorite, you're late. Derit, I don't like it. Stop it.

SPEAKER_01 3:45

I've appreciated it because Erica was trying to be like, I'm just gonna go get Derit all season. Instead of us sitting here talking about it, I'll just be proactive. But I if I were Erica, I would reach that limit where I'm like, okay, you've been late to everything we've done, and now you're gonna sit here, and as Erica said, you wanna play Payne Olympics?

SPEAKER_00 4:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:06

No, we're not doing that.

SPEAKER_00 4:07

And then I freaking love that Kathy's the one that went after Derit. Like somehow that's gonna fix the situation.

SPEAKER_01 4:14

No, I'm like Kyle's sister's the one going.

SPEAKER_00 4:16

Like, not Bose, not Rachel, Kathy. Let's send Kathy.

SPEAKER_01 4:21

I believed in Bose and Derit, but I was shocked. I was like, Bose, were you there? Because you were quiet.

SPEAKER_00 4:29

Quiet as a mouse for that one. But I also think that she lets Darit handle her own battles for the most part. I don't think she jumps in too much. I think with anyone's battles, to be honest.

SPEAKER_01 4:40

To be fair, last season she did jump on Darit's battles, and she got called out for it a lot. So maybe she's just being like, I'll let Dorite handle this.

SPEAKER_00 4:50

And Derit will handle it for the most part.

SPEAKER_01 4:52

Even if she has to walk away, let her fight her battle.

SPEAKER_00 4:55

Yeah. And she said, Oh Amanda, I forgot you were there, sweetheart. I didn't skip you.

SPEAKER_01 5:03

Yeah. I'm sorry, I forgot. I just forgot you were on this trip in Italy with us.

SPEAKER_00 5:07

I just totally forgot that I had been fighting with you 24 hours ago.

SPEAKER_01 5:12

She managed to remember Natalina, but not She did remember Natalina.

SPEAKER_00 5:17

That's so cute.

SPEAKER_01 5:19

I don't know. I was like, we ain't never gonna see her again, and yet remembered her. Yeah, did you see Natalie's not at the reunion? Oh she didn't even get the invite.

SPEAKER_00 5:28

Well, that's because she only like really spoke like two words. Yeah. But that earned her the nickname Natalina, so forever. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:37

Congrats. Because I it's a term of endearment. Now I almost called her Angelina, and now I don't know her real name.

SPEAKER_00 5:44

Natalie.

SPEAKER_01 5:45

Natalie. Yeah, so basically the recap is Erica Jane ate that up, and I would uh I noticed on social media a lot of people are agreeing. And then the episode kind of went right back to boring once the fight was over.

SPEAKER_00 5:59

Yeah, once the fight was over, we get Rachel shopping with her sons, which was cute, but or with one son.

SPEAKER_01 6:05

The older one.

SPEAKER_00 6:06

The older one.

SPEAKER_01 6:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:07

Super cute, but it was a lot of footage.

SPEAKER_01 6:10

It was.

SPEAKER_00 6:11

And it took up a lot of airspace that I felt was could have been used elsewhere.

SPEAKER_01 6:15

You know what thought I had? It's kind of on that vein of what you're saying is I feel like they always cut so much out in editing. We could have had a whole different season probably with what they didn't include and still got to this point where it's Drink Kyle versus Erica. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 6:34

Oh yeah. I think that they I watched too, because uh, you know, when you're on Peacock, it'll just kind of play in the background, whatever um the teaser is.

SPEAKER_01 6:43

Oh, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:44

If you just stop watching things. They put together a really good package for this season. Like this season looks like it's gonna be drama. Gonna be drama. It's not so good. And it's not. They show the same clips, and if you've watched the season, you can tell they just use the same three episodes to cut this.

SPEAKER_01 7:04

It kind of was sad because we were all waiting for this big fight, and it's been it's at the end of the season.

SPEAKER_00 7:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:10

Because that's what they put in the trailer.

SPEAKER_00 7:12

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 7:13

Yeah. Uh I kind of changed my tune though, which is what I was texting you that I have some thoughts. I changed my tune, and I was like, maybe Kyle doesn't need to go. Because she is stirring up the drama. But we can't keep doing Kyle and Dorite. So if that's the only option, they both gotta go to me. Or get over it and fight with other people.

SPEAKER_00 7:35

Yeah. Or just like do something with your life to make you interesting again. Yeah. Because like you're not doing anything but fighting. Either one of you.

SPEAKER_01 7:46

For real. Um we're not seeing anything else from either. Supposedly, Dorite's got a book coming out that you know And apparently she got a huge advance.

SPEAKER_00 7:55

That's crazy because I I'm not gonna read that book.

SPEAKER_01 7:58

I'm I Darite, we love you.

SPEAKER_00 8:01

Dorit, love you, but I'm not reading books by Housewives. Housewives, to be honest.

SPEAKER_01 8:06

Actually, I listened to Lisa Rennes on audio, but that's Lisa Renna. And I wasn't gonna sit there and read it for three days.

SPEAKER_00 8:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:13

And Dore, that's Lisa Renna. She had stories. I she's been in Hollywood for 40 years. I don't know what stories you have to offer that I would be interested in. Not that the book won't be good, but just saying.

SPEAKER_00 8:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:26

Her photo shoot look good.

SPEAKER_00 8:28

I liked the first outfit, but it does not fit the book cover.

SPEAKER_01 8:31

Uh-huh. And she agreed with you. Yeah. She was like, this ain't it.

SPEAKER_00 8:34

She looked hot though. I was like, Jimmy, what's the problem? But I It was too powerful for being unbothered.

SPEAKER_01 8:41

Exactly. She needed strip down.

SPEAKER_00 8:43

She looked bothered.

SPEAKER_01 8:44

She was. She said, because on top of everything, now my daughter is not fitting in at school.

SPEAKER_00 8:52

And I'm like, I hate that. If you homeschool them too long, that's kind of what happens.

SPEAKER_01 8:58

It is. And I had that same thought of like, well, you've homeschooled her the first 10 years of her life.

SPEAKER_00 9:04

Yeah. And then I was like, oh, those kids are probably older than what I think they are, because the last time we saw them, they were in like diapers, I feel.

SPEAKER_01 9:11

And we ain't seen them in a minute. No. I wonder if PK's not letting them film.

SPEAKER_00 9:15

I wonder if they just both decided to, because sometimes they do decide they don't want their children on the show, which feel is fair.

SPEAKER_01 9:22

So where does that go? We g we covered Rachel, and then it goes Street's photo shoot, and then it just kind of goes to Rachel's party, I think.

SPEAKER_00 9:31

Yeah, it goes back to Rachel's party where we then start to see, like maybe there'll be another fight. Possibly.

SPEAKER_01 9:40

Or they're gonna avoid each other, nothing's gonna happen at all.

SPEAKER_00 9:44

That's probably the outcome because the season's over.

SPEAKER_01 9:47

And did you notice, because when there's a season finale coming, it they'll always say next time on the season finale of Beverly Hills. That they didn't say that this week.

SPEAKER_00 9:57

No, so there's probably two more episodes.

SPEAKER_01 9:58

I think there's two more, which means they have what eight, eighteen episodes?

SPEAKER_00 10:02

Which is a good run, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:04

I'm just shocked they got 18.

SPEAKER_00 10:05

I'm shocked they got 18.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

I don't think Orange County even got 18 in their last season.

SPEAKER_00 10:10

No, they they got around that? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:13

Okay, because I was like, we had Tamara versus Gretchen, and that was far more captivating than this season of Beverly Hills.

SPEAKER_00 10:19

Tamara versus anybody is always more captivating. Shout out Tamara.

SPEAKER_01 10:23

And I've made my feelings about Gretchen and Slade clear, so when we did round two, the return of, I was like, get him, Tamara.

SPEAKER_00 10:30

Yeah, I'm not on Jabonet's side.

SPEAKER_01 10:35

She does dress like her.

SPEAKER_00 10:37

Yes, it's very confusing to me.

SPEAKER_01 10:40

Next time on, the real housewives of Beverly Hills, and it I couldn't remember it. I couldn't, it was still at Rachel's party.

SPEAKER_00 10:48

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 10:49

And I'm like, they didn't tell us if we're actually gonna get anywhere. I hope we do, and we didn't have just 30 minutes of a good episode this whole season.

SPEAKER_00 10:58

We'll have a 10-minute montage of dancing.

SPEAKER_01 11:01

And then the little like Kyle is now whatever she's doing. And Darit's they're looking Kyle is now a lesbian. A lesbian. We're not judging, Kyle. We're just we're not judging.

SPEAKER_00 11:13

I used to be married to a woman. Get over it.

SPEAKER_01 11:16

She says, so just be honest.

SPEAKER_00 11:17

Just be honest.

SPEAKER_01 11:18

Which is Kyle's favorite term.

SPEAKER_00 11:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:21

Which is why the internet was so mad at her. They're like, oh, the woman who tells everyone to just be honest was not honest.

SPEAKER_00 11:27

Was not honest with anyone.

SPEAKER_01 11:28

Ooh, that brought me back to when Erica was like, I heard you said you would end Kyle.

SPEAKER_00 11:35

And that was all just about being in a relationship with another woman.

SPEAKER_01 11:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:43

Like that has nothing to do with like, I'll end you in this nefarious way.

SPEAKER_01 11:47

No, Sutton twisted those words and made it worse.

SPEAKER_00 11:50

And they played it back, and she didn't say, I'll end her.

SPEAKER_01 11:53

But then she agreed that that was how it works. Yeah, I noticed that too. But Sutton was the one who ran back and was like, she said she'd end Kyle. I was like, well, we already know, so the threat's taken out of it.

SPEAKER_00 12:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:10

So don't worry about that, Kyle.

SPEAKER_00 12:12

Also, think about your life. How critically can Derit really impact it?

SPEAKER_01 12:18

She said, who isn't Dorit to impact your life?

SPEAKER_00 12:21

That heavily.

SPEAKER_01 12:22

Yeah. I was kind of thinking the same thing. I don't know. You know what it is? It's because Erica, Derit, and Kyle were all part of the Fox Force 5 with Renna and Teddy that took Lisa Vanderpump down.

SPEAKER_00 12:36

That was a time.

SPEAKER_01 12:37

And the fans are very happy to see the Fox Force 5 implode on itself as a bit of karma for what happened to Vanderpump.

SPEAKER_00 12:46

Yeah, I do miss Lisa Vanderpump.

SPEAKER_01 12:48

I do too. She would be here telling these bitches, shut up and get over this.

SPEAKER_00 12:51

Yes. Calling them cunts too.

SPEAKER_01 12:54

With a glass of wine.

SPEAKER_00 12:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:56

I do miss her.

SPEAKER_00 12:57

And I miss that little doggy. R.I.P. to the little doggy.

SPEAKER_01 13:00

Was it Jiggy?

SPEAKER_00 13:01

Jiggy. That was his name.

SPEAKER_01 13:04

I want to go to her house and just see all her animals.

SPEAKER_00 13:07

Swans and shit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:08

In the fucking moat. She has a moat.

SPEAKER_00 13:12

Yes. Oh, beautiful, beautiful life.

SPEAKER_01 13:15

So that's Beverly Hills.

SPEAKER_00 13:18

Yeah. So I guess speaking of swans, we could jump over to Rhode Island, a new little swan in the pond.

SPEAKER_01 13:25

Real House was Rhode Island, as far as a first episode goes, I'm impressed.

SPEAKER_00 13:31

I'm so impressed.

SPEAKER_01 13:33

We don't ever get episodes of Housewives in a first season where they're just right into it.

SPEAKER_00 13:38

Yeah, they jumped right into this. We get introduced to the characters literally by their name cards, and we jump right into the action.

SPEAKER_01 13:45

And it's just them filming at home. We don't have to do introductions of here's my husband and here's all my kids, and they give you a little bit and then we're just watching.

SPEAKER_00 13:54

I want to say these girls looked a lot alike, so it's hard to tell them apart. But we had uh we have Alicia, Liz, Kelsey, Joelan, Rosie, Ashley, and then friend of the show, Dolores, Dolo. Dolo, one we haven't met yet, Rula. She looks like a viper.

SPEAKER_01 14:17

Uh we said we're scared of her.

SPEAKER_00 14:19

Yeah, she gives intimidating energy hardcore.

SPEAKER_01 14:22

I wouldn't mess with her.

SPEAKER_00 14:23

No.

SPEAKER_01 14:23

And she's living in Rhode Island. You will turn up swimming with the fishes.

SPEAKER_00 14:28

Swimming.

SPEAKER_01 14:28

I feel it. So first impressions, my favorite was Liz.

SPEAKER_00 14:35

I liked Liz a lot. I liked that she got on her boat and her Prada galoshes.

SPEAKER_01 14:40

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 14:41

And then probably like a matching Prada bucket hat that fell off, and she had to leave it in the ocean.

SPEAKER_01 14:46

And yet she still showed up dry.

SPEAKER_00 14:49

That's because that hat stayed in the ocean.

SPEAKER_01 14:52

That was so good. Her just rooming in on a little what looked like a dinghy.

SPEAKER_00 14:56

Yeah, it's just a little dinghy, probably for her yacht.

SPEAKER_01 14:59

She said, I'll take this to the restaurant.

SPEAKER_00 15:01

I can't pull up in the yacht, but I can't pull up in this little boat.

SPEAKER_01 15:04

I like anyone who's a hot mess, and that's what Liz gives, because she said, Oh my god, being a stepmom, you know, they were screaming at me, and they're like, That one, she's not in the car yet.

SPEAKER_00 15:14

And she said it had one leg in the car.

SPEAKER_01 15:17

Yeah, and she was driving. That's so good. For me, the confusing ones are Rosie and Ashley, because I can't remember that. Like, who which one's which?

SPEAKER_00 15:31

So Rosie, turns out she was a reporter or newsgirl on some news show, obviously.

SPEAKER_01 15:40

With 200 views.

SPEAKER_00 15:41

And she now has a little TV show she does on the weekend that gets 200 views, but I'm not gonna view count shame anyone.

SPEAKER_01 15:47

Not here.

SPEAKER_00 15:48

Not here, but that was a little funny dig. It was she was like, now she's got another one.

SPEAKER_01 15:54

But I'm watching going, she works for traditional media. She probably gets paid a big check from some other source, not YouTube.

SPEAKER_00 16:01

Yeah, it's probably due to airtime, not due to ones. YouTube beams. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:07

Which who cares if that's your deal? Go off. I need to go to Rhode Island.

SPEAKER_00 16:11

Yeah, there's so much to do. And that's what I want to say. The the girls seem like they're gonna give us so many activities.

SPEAKER_01 16:18

Oh my, I can't wait.

SPEAKER_00 16:20

Like, I gotta say, this first episode, we already went out to every restaurant on the coast.

SPEAKER_01 16:25

They literally did. Literally.

SPEAKER_00 16:28

We had a party at a mansion.

SPEAKER_01 16:29

Which was lovely. I want that house.

SPEAKER_00 16:31

It's so lovely.

SPEAKER_01 16:32

I was like, how do I get that house?

SPEAKER_00 16:34

Yeah, and it wasn't even her house.

SPEAKER_01 16:35

I know. I was like, wait, where are we?

SPEAKER_00 16:37

And then we had two girls cry.

SPEAKER_01 16:41

Literally by the middle, not even the end.

SPEAKER_00 16:45

Not even by the end. So these girls are bringing it.

SPEAKER_01 16:49

Yeah. And I I'm not entirely sure the group dynamic yet. But it would seem Joel is maybe the one they're all scared of.

SPEAKER_00 17:02

You think? I'm saying Rula. She's not here yet, but she's not here yet. I'm thinking it's gonna be Rula.

SPEAKER_01 17:09

I was thinking of the main cast. I do think they'll be scared of Rula more than anybody.

SPEAKER_00 17:16

And I think that Liz a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 17:18

I could see that.

SPEAKER_00 17:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:20

Because she's got that vibe, and that's why I liked her.

SPEAKER_00 17:22

And she just she already said she's the oldest, and it just tends to be a lot of people. They're gonna have something to say, yeah. Yeah. Behind her.

SPEAKER_01 17:31

You're right. Just interesting vibes, because you're like they're telling us who they are, but then we're seeing who they are in the group dynamic, which sometimes doesn't add up.

SPEAKER_00 17:39

No, because I would have never expected that we got polygamy going on in this series ever, or like even in any of the franchises besides probably Salt Lake. Shout out to the Salt Lake community.

SPEAKER_01 17:54

Yeah, this felt like an episode of True Life. Remember that show? Is that what it was called?

SPEAKER_00 17:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:59

That's how I learned what polygamy was at like 12.

SPEAKER_00 18:02

Oh. The real housewives are now teaching all of our moms about polygamy, so that's cute.

SPEAKER_01 18:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:07

So now they're all gonna use the word cunt and know what polygamy is. And if you're not familiar, that's when you are in a relationship with more than one partner and everyone's in agreement with it.

SPEAKER_01 18:18

Mostly.

SPEAKER_00 18:20

Usually somebody says they are and they're really not as in okay with it as what they expressed.

SPEAKER_01 18:25

Which I think is the vibe we got in this episode.

SPEAKER_00 18:29

I think she said she's at a point in her life where now it's not feeling good anymore because she's like 30, and that leads me to be like, is this one of our youngest housewives ever?

SPEAKER_01 18:40

I think so.

SPEAKER_00 18:41

Because we all know Kim Zolziak tried to tell us she was 29.

SPEAKER_01 18:45

I'm dead.

SPEAKER_00 18:46

She tried.

SPEAKER_01 18:47

Nene's called that out immediately.

SPEAKER_00 18:50

There's no way that she was 29 when that show started.

SPEAKER_01 18:52

I'm sorry, girl. You were 35.

SPEAKER_00 18:55

At least.

SPEAKER_01 18:56

And Megan King Edmonds was 30.

SPEAKER_00 19:00

Oh, shout out Megan.

SPEAKER_01 19:01

She revealed all that Cancer Gate.

SPEAKER_00 19:04

She did. Oh, she was good. Yeah. I kind of miss her.

SPEAKER_01 19:07

I miss her too. They should bring her back.

SPEAKER_00 19:09

She did come back for a moment in one episode.

SPEAKER_01 19:12

Oh, you're right. For a party, huh?

SPEAKER_00 19:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:15

Recently, too.

SPEAKER_00 19:16

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 19:17

But.

SPEAKER_00 19:18

And then Joelyn could possibly be Eskimo sisters with her real sister. And I was like, oh, oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_01 19:28

Yeah, that's, and that was the beginning of the episode.

SPEAKER_00 19:30

That was the beginning of the episode. So Joelen's husband once possibly dated her sister in high school, and it showed like a prom photo of them, and you never know what happens on prom night.

SPEAKER_01 19:41

Prom night of all nights.

SPEAKER_00 19:42

Prom night of all nights. So they could be sisters and Eskimo sisters. That's and that's almost as crazy as I think it was Alicia.

SPEAKER_01 19:54

Alicia.

SPEAKER_00 19:55

Is she the one that said that her and her husband when they looked were related?

SPEAKER_01 20:00

Was it her?

SPEAKER_00 20:01

Or was that one Liz?

SPEAKER_01 20:04

I can't remember now.

SPEAKER_00 20:06

Oh, I believe. I believe I want to say it's Liz now. I feel like it's a little bit more. We also have Ancestry.com revealing that one of the cast mates' husband is related to her. That's a lot of her. Not in a close enough relation to matter. Or be illegal. Or be illegal.

SPEAKER_01 20:27

She's a but someone doing it.

SPEAKER_00 20:29

They have a common. And that's crazy. But not crazy if you think about the size size of Rhode Island. And literally, like my experience in Rhode Island, there's so many families that are large.

SPEAKER_01 20:45

So there's gonna be overlap.

SPEAKER_00 20:46

There's gonna be overlap.

SPEAKER_01 20:48

Yeah, she the way she said related down the line. I don't know what that means, but you shouldn't be together. At least they're not procreating. That was her point. She said, wasn't it? Was she was is that what she said? She was like, we're older.

SPEAKER_00 21:02

No, I think she was just like, people don't recognize it because we don't look alike.

SPEAKER_01 21:07

She did, that's what it was. Yeah. She's like, you would never look at us and think we're related. And that's how she started that story. So I was like, wherever this is going is insane.

SPEAKER_00 21:19

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 21:20

Very Utah of them.

SPEAKER_00 21:21

It was very they were very open. And I gotta say, that is very Rhode Island of them. They're they don't bat an eye about you being anything over there. Even though if you're not from there, it's very sus and they're not gonna trust you. But if you tell them, like, you know, you're in a polygamy relationship, Liz, the oldest and the youngest, Kelsey, were talking, and she didn't even bat an eye about the polygamy. And I was like, oh, I kind of love that.

SPEAKER_01 21:48

And I liked how Liz spoke about it in her confessional. She was like, She's always been good to me, so why would I talk bad about her over something that's her choice?

SPEAKER_00 21:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:58

I'll this every episode. We're gonna be doing by the way is going to be me doing accents because I can't help it.

SPEAKER_00 22:06

Oh, I love a good roadie accent.

SPEAKER_01 22:08

Literally, we were two and a half minutes into this episode, and I was like, the accents have made this immediately one of my favorite shows.

SPEAKER_00 22:17

They have a very unique accent. It's between Boston and New York.

SPEAKER_01 22:21

I noticed that because they said something almost Boston-like, and I was because when I repeated it to myself, I was like, that sounds like Boston. So I'm glad to know that.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

Let's say Ashley is from Bachelor Re Bachelor in Paradise.

SPEAKER_01 22:37

One of those.

SPEAKER_00 22:38

She is married to The Bachelor from that show for six years. That's impressive. That's impressive. And they have two kids and they own a coffee shop. The biggest takeaway I have from that was she was peeling her fingernails at the coffee bar off of her fingers. And I was totally, totally, totally gagging.

SPEAKER_01 23:00

He was making orders too.

SPEAKER_00 23:01

He was making orders and calling out drinks, and she was snapping them off, and she was not caring. That's so gross. Gagging.

SPEAKER_01 23:09

I'm never going to that coffee shop if we're in Rhode Island, no offense.

SPEAKER_00 23:13

And I really had to appreciate how catty these girls were to each other. Like, yeah, I guess they may be a little bit afraid of Joeln. But uh Rosie said that she caught Joelen talking crap about her or whatever. And the crap that was talked was that Rosie brought her a $6 bottle of wine as a gift.

SPEAKER_01 23:34

She did. She said your wine is cheap.

SPEAKER_00 23:36

And how are you gonna like take offense to that? If you brought a $6 bottle of wine, you know what you did. And don't take offense if somebody calls you cheap.

SPEAKER_01 23:46

I'm with her on that. Because $6, I'm gonna have a hangover.

SPEAKER_00 23:49

I'm not drinking it.

SPEAKER_01 23:50

I'll I'll keep it in the fridge. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:52

Or you're I'll open it while you're there and pour a glass for you for you specifically.

SPEAKER_01 23:58

I'll pour a glass for myself and pretend I'm drinking it and throw it down the sink.

SPEAKER_00 24:01

I'm not even gonna pretend. I'm with Jo Allen all the way on this point. Don't even bother.

SPEAKER_01 24:07

Because I was wondering why this came up early before that when they were like, Did you bring her a bottle of something in the car? And she was like, Yeah. And they're like, How much was that?

SPEAKER_00 24:17

It was a bottle of Moet.

SPEAKER_01 24:19

And she says $60. And they're like, okay.

SPEAKER_00 24:22

They were like, finally, she got it. And then she brought a bouquet of fireworks and got roasted for that too.

SPEAKER_01 24:28

I agreed with her. She said, I would never give that to someone as a gift. I liked Jo Ellen. I know they were trying to set us up to be the villain. She's oh, she's gonna be the villain. They even said it.

SPEAKER_00 24:38

I really liked her. I think she even gives me Teresa Judy's vibes. I thought that too. And hairline vibes.

SPEAKER_01 24:44

I thought that too, because at one point they asked her about 4th of July, and she said, I actually don't know why we celebrate the 4th of July. Is it something to do with Columbus or the Nina Pinta Santa Maria?

SPEAKER_00 24:56

At least she knew about that because she said the Santa Maria, and I said she knows more than I do.

SPEAKER_01 25:00

Literally, I was like, I haven't heard that phrase since Step Brothers.

SPEAKER_00 25:03

Even though I did go see Plymouth Rock when I lived out there, and I did go for Fourth of July because I was like, I need to see it.

SPEAKER_01 25:11

What's next? What do we have? We're at the so at this point they're partying for Fourth.

SPEAKER_00 25:17

Yeah, they party for Fourth. They have a cannoli station, which is so roadie because most of the Rhode Island people that I met were Italian. Um and so to see all the Italian heritage amongst them is very comforting. It literally could lullaby me to sleep with their accents.

SPEAKER_01 25:36

I knew it. I was watching, like, I think I think you're gonna be obsessed.

SPEAKER_00 25:41

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 25:42

Absolutely obsessed. Because I already am.

SPEAKER_00 25:45

And then it kind of fades into a little bit of a tiff between Rosie and Kelsey. Kelsey over the polygamy comments that Rosie had questions during uh a lunch that Kelsey was not present at, which were shady questions, I felt. They weren't like aha ha, I have like they were like, uh ha ha, I have a question instead of being like, I have a question.

SPEAKER_01 26:12

Yeah, I felt the same way. Um but then when she was like, Well, Joe Allen brought it up, and I was like, But did she? I don't recall.

SPEAKER_00 26:23

Because they were playing Have I Ever or Never Have I Ever.

SPEAKER_01 26:26

Yeah. And all that. Well, I don't know why they would. If it's relevant to the story of the episode.

SPEAKER_00 26:34

Because they were playing, they said, Never have I had a threesome, done something sexual in a boat, and then she was like, Never have I ever done polygamy.

SPEAKER_01 26:42

Because Rosie said that that was one of the first mentions in the episode of it.

SPEAKER_00 26:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:46

And I was like, Excuse me.

SPEAKER_00 26:48

I like that they're using the word polygamy instead of saying I'm in a poly relationship.

SPEAKER_01 26:53

I hate that. Just say polygamy, because that's what it is.

SPEAKER_00 26:56

I I kind of like the poly term.

SPEAKER_01 26:59

It's like too cutesy for me.

SPEAKER_00 27:01

It's very cute. But I don't want a poly relationship.

SPEAKER_01 27:04

She said no, I just like the name.

SPEAKER_00 27:06

I just like the name.

SPEAKER_01 27:07

I really was appreciative though of both Rosie and Kelsey because they were just they were a housewife in it.

SPEAKER_00 27:13

Yeah, they got right into the meat.

SPEAKER_01 27:15

And they didn't take it too far. Like this is not unrecoverable.

SPEAKER_00 27:20

No, they they pretty much just had a couple tears.

SPEAKER_01 27:25

Except uh poor Rosie was sitting there, like, ready to hit. She was. I could see it.

SPEAKER_00 27:32

But I feel like that's the news reporter in her because she probably thinks she's right all the time. From the vision. That was it. That we got 55 minutes, which I thought was great because it was 10 extra minutes than what we normally get. And it was just a right amount that it gave us an introduction, it gave us some body to the show, and then it brought us to the this season on, which shows a bunch of shenanigans. They're always out doing something. Did you notice that?

SPEAKER_01 27:58

They're always at each other's houses or out.

SPEAKER_00 28:00

Yeah. Which I love. I love that. They're very grouped together instead of being individually shown, which is a problem that I've had with some of these series, is that they focus so much on the individuals.

SPEAKER_01 28:12

And then they only come together for like a party.

SPEAKER_00 28:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:14

After like, and they don't even know each other. Yeah, especially the earlier housewives. It's clear, like these were not a group of people who knew each other.

SPEAKER_00 28:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:22

This group knows each other. Even if they weren't friends, they know each other.

SPEAKER_00 28:26

They've been known each other.

SPEAKER_01 28:27

Rhode Island, small town. Because even Alicia's parents said, Oh my god, this is the longest drive.

SPEAKER_00 28:34

The longest.

SPEAKER_01 28:35

And they said, then they showed the map. They said 15 minutes. It was such a good episode. I'm so impressed, ladies. I didn't know if I was because the first episodes can be rough.

SPEAKER_00 28:45

Yeah, the first episodes can be rough, but I was glued. So congratulations, ladies.

SPEAKER_01 28:51

Thank you, Bravo, for not making us know too much about the men. Ladies, again, congrats. It was a good episode. Especially airing right after Beverly Hills. It really put into perspective like, wow, this is what it is when the whole group shows up and commits.

SPEAKER_00 29:07

You outshined Beverly Hills on episode one.

SPEAKER_01 29:10

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 29:11

That is pretty good.

SPEAKER_01 29:13

Congrats. Congrats, ladies. Beverly Hills has had 16 episodes and 30 minutes of that has been enjoyable.

SPEAKER_00 29:20

And I promise this next episode will have your names better.

SPEAKER_01 29:23

And faces.

SPEAKER_00 29:24

And faces.

SPEAKER_01 29:25

Because I'm going to go back and re-watch the first episode again anyway. Yeah. To keep trying to get to know everybody.

SPEAKER_00 29:29

I've watched it three times already. It came out uh for me at three o'clock this morning. Uh we're recording this on Friday, the day that it came out, and we are gonna post it today as well. This is kind of crazy, but experiment. It's an experiment.

SPEAKER_01 29:44

And is it Rory that moves next week?

SPEAKER_00 29:47

So yes, Rory moves, and it will be on Sundays with Atlanta. So we'll be doing double episodes.

SPEAKER_01 29:55

That's gonna be crazy. Atlanta into Rhode Island.

SPEAKER_00 29:59

Mm-hmm. So it'll be a nice little episode that we get to do every week instead of these Beverly Hills ones that have been a little shorter.

SPEAKER_01 30:06

Shorter. Because we don't have anything to say.

SPEAKER_00 30:09

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 30:09

Or nothing new to add. Wow. So this Sunday's uh Atlanta, everybody, season 17.

SPEAKER_01 30:45

I like knowing everything about things that I watch. I'm that kind of person. I'm like, give me the behind-the-scenes photos. Like Orange County's filming right now. I I saw the photos of Vicky on a scooter.

SPEAKER_00 30:56

Yes.
