SPEAKER_00

Hi everyone and welcome back to Friends of the Show. I'm Chem X and I'm here with my best friend Austin, and we're here to discuss the Real Housewives of Atlanta and the Real Housewives of Rhode Island with you today. Woo woo! It's gonna be kind of a go-along ride because these two episodes were up and down. They fluctuated quite a bit.

SPEAKER_01

Agreed. So let's start off like we always do, Real Housewives of Atlanta, season 17, episode eight, a sound bath breakdown. And man, ladies, I love you, but this episode almost put me to sleep.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I woke up at three in the morning and went back to bed.

SPEAKER_01

That's how like you said try again tomorrow.

SPEAKER_00

Try again in about two hours because this is just not gonna happen right now.

SPEAKER_01

And it was only like nine o'clock. I'm like, usually I'm not tired until about 11, but this this was like a lullaby.

SPEAKER_00

This was an ambient. We uh opened to Kelly in her restaurant discussing multiple things. She brings up her financial woes with her family and how that restaurant is actually not doing well, which you were privy to before this. So we've been watching you, Kelly.

SPEAKER_01

And I'm like, so did the one she was saying isn't doing well? I wonder if that's the one that closed.

SPEAKER_00

No, it's the brand new one, is what she said. The one that they just opened up on the show.

SPEAKER_01

Ooh, Kelly.

SPEAKER_00

Maybe you should stop expanding and just keep one location.

SPEAKER_01

If the one location's working for you, just focus on that clearly.

SPEAKER_00

It's the way to go.

SPEAKER_01

And let your mom run everything because I bet she has it together.

SPEAKER_00

It seems like her mom kind of is running everything because she said, We need to retrain the kitchen, we need to retrain the staff. And Kelly was just like, Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01

She was with her grandma as well. It was a cute little family affair.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and they discuss she admits to being in a one-year relationship with a man named quote unquote Jarvis.

SPEAKER_01

Or Tony Starks.

SPEAKER_00

Or Tony Starks with a S.

SPEAKER_01

They asked Kelly, why Jarvis as his nickname? She said, Well, it's from Iron Man.

SPEAKER_00

And that's about it.

SPEAKER_01

That was it. And I was like, I you could have paid probably a hundred people. Everyone would have guessed Iron Man. So I'm just saying it wasn't the most cute thing you thought it was.

SPEAKER_00

I'm just like, is it because he simplifies her life? Or is it because he's a computer? Yes.

SPEAKER_01

I've got that too. And uh I do appreciate her saying Tony Starks. So thank you for that laugh, Kelly. And then what do we do? We see Phaedra, Angela, Porsche, and Drew all having dinner.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and Phaedra is the first one to be like, hey y'all, Kay Michelle says we're plotting against her, which I find to be hilarious because the fact that Kay Michelle doubles back and goes to Phaedra and goes, Well, I guess you're not so bad.

SPEAKER_01

And then she's like, and I gotta keep Phaedra close.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I need one of the rats in the loop.

SPEAKER_01

Phaedra's a good one to do.

SPEAKER_00

Phaedra's gonna keep it real and also not get messy anymore, which we saw because she immediately was like, I'm not part of this mess, leave me out of it.

SPEAKER_01

She was too busy doing a sound bath for people.

SPEAKER_00

Which I don't blame her. Good for her. Get your Reiki on, girl. Because Reiki's weird, but I'm into it.

SPEAKER_01

I'm into it. I would have loved to have floated in the pool for a meditation.

SPEAKER_00

It would have been nice.

SPEAKER_01

But okay, we're jumping ahead. Let me not get there. But so they sit down, they're talking about Kay Michelle yet again. I don't know where at the start of the episode, I'm still kind of on Kay's side a bit. You know what I mean? Like I'm like, this is all getting blown out of proportion. But if Kay just comes and puts it on the front, then we'll get somewhere. That didn't happen.

SPEAKER_00

No, but I'm also still, I guess I'm on the fence with Kay, and I'm kind of on Portia's side, being like, these are the voices in her head. Just because I've been here with Kay Michelle before on Love and Hip Hop, where she's sometimes been a little delusional on what's happening to her or around her.

SPEAKER_01

Just a little delusional.

SPEAKER_00

And escalated problems to places they didn't need to necessarily go. But I mean, she said, Yodolee, Yodole. And I ain't mad at I clapped.

SPEAKER_01

And let me tell you, I was kind of who says it that's like, uh, Kay, oh, it's about Kay being upset with Portia for Porsche not telling her they dated the same guy.

SPEAKER_00

But in Porsche's defense, she says, I didn't even know you.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-huh. Why would I tell you? We weren't friends yet. And then Kay tries to argue, well, when we became friends, it's like you're still not friends though.

SPEAKER_00

Also, Kay, let's talk about the fact that you're getting really defensive over your friendshipslash relationship with this man you share in common with Portia, yet black can't be your friend.

SPEAKER_01

And you're still trying to fight Drew over all this?

SPEAKER_00

And you're still trying to fight Drew. So I'm very confused. Can you be friends with a man or can you not?

SPEAKER_01

And I think it was Drew who was like, You just got married. Like you can calm down a bit. A little bit. And I was like, you know what, Drew? I really like you this season because your comebacks to Kay Michelle have been killing me.

SPEAKER_00

Drew's never kind of missed. She's always been ready.

SPEAKER_01

She's quick with this. Like, I wanted to see Kay Michelle's side, but you can't mess with Miss Porsche Williams and think I'm gonna ride with you still.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I wanna see Kay's side, but I guess I have to see the actual receipts, the evidence.

SPEAKER_01

Right. The and she keeps saying, I'm not gonna repeat what he told me about Portia. And I'm like, Do it. Do it because you doing that is even worse to me. Because now we have to paint it in in our own minds.

SPEAKER_00

It's gonna wind up not even being that bad. And then it's gonna look really stupid.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and it's gonna make Porsche look better. So you shouldn't have gone there, Kay. We love you though. What else do our ladies get up to?

SPEAKER_00

Portia gets into her relationship status quite a bit.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah. With uh what's her lovely name?

SPEAKER_00

We have both Sway and Mike involved with Porsche. Sway. Mike, we saw previously telling Portia that it's a deal breaker for him if she does not want to have a baby. Right. And then Portia's like, well, I don't know about that.

SPEAKER_01

She said, I just got it together too.

SPEAKER_00

And now Sway is back in the picture saying, Hey, I want a baby.

SPEAKER_01

But I can carry them.

SPEAKER_00

And you know, more power to you because if you want a baby and you want to carry it, go for it.

SPEAKER_01

And you're younger than Porsche, I'm assuming.

SPEAKER_00

They look about the same age to me.

SPEAKER_01

I assumed, but I thought Porsche looked younger, but yes. So I was like, Well, I guess I don't know, but that's fierce for Porsche. And I'm happy for her. And they're still together. That's so beautiful. Every time I see their she's too impressed or something, she got her there with her.

SPEAKER_00

I gotta say, like, I really respect the conversation that they had. Like, are you sure you can be in a relationship with a woman for the rest of your life? And instead of Porsche saying yes or no, she said, I'm figuring it out, which I highly respect.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And she's not like, no, she's not like yes. She's like, I'm just dipping my toe in the water, and you think I'm gonna marry you? Like, did you just propose?

SPEAKER_01

Right. And have babies. I mean, but it's good to know before you get too serious.

SPEAKER_00

I guess so, but lesbians like to move quick. That girl said, one year, I want this baby.

SPEAKER_01

That is such a stereotype, and she played right into it.

SPEAKER_00

She did, and apparently they've known each other for like 10 years.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So I guess it's not super quick, but still, it's quick if you just jump into the relationship finally.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, my favorite joke I ever heard was Lesbians three weeks into a relationship will show up to a date with the U-Haul.

SPEAKER_00

It's not even three weeks, baby. Let me tell you. I was moved in with my ex after like a couple days. She said, I'll I'll stay here.

SPEAKER_01

But Portia, I she just deserves the biggest round of applause right now. Because can you call Kyle Richards and tell her this is how it's done? Oops sorry, Kyle.

SPEAKER_00

She said, I'm here, I'm queer.

SPEAKER_01

She said, I'm a little, I'm half queer. Get used to it. Kyle said, I don't know who you're talking about. And it's just refreshing to see somebody actually be honest about who they're dating when the cameras aren't around.

SPEAKER_00

And be like sweet about it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and be real. It just humanizes everybody. I'm like, Kyle, you made yours so much worse.

SPEAKER_00

There is the loudest plain right now. So, anyway, from Portia, we visit with Shamia, who is going through some more fertility issues. We find out she's had five failed transfers now. We knew she was on the last male egg, but five in a row costs a lot.

SPEAKER_01

Your body's been through it.

SPEAKER_00

You've been pulling eggs out like nobody's goodness. You like a chicken house right now.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And you know that process ain't easy on the body. No, it's very difficult. So I feel very bad for her.

SPEAKER_00

I do. And then I also feel bad that like things haven't been easy with her surrogate. She's had to get another one. And her BFF Kelly is sitting out at the clinic with her because her husband never goes with her.

SPEAKER_01

I I hate that. What is with men like that?

SPEAKER_00

I don't get it. You want the baby so bad, supposedly.

SPEAKER_01

But you can't go to the doctor with her while she cries? Yeah. I felt Kelly, you were a good friend in this episode, her. I will give you that.

SPEAKER_00

And when Shamia said that Simon doesn't like her acting.

SPEAKER_01

I almost punched my TV.

SPEAKER_00

And Kelly said, You had a career before this man, and you're gonna have a career with this man.

SPEAKER_01

And I said, Preach, Kelly. You tell him the facts. I appreciated it. It makes me a little nervous for Shamia.

SPEAKER_00

I think Shamia's just gonna like fold into herself, unfortunately, instead of outwardly expressing herself creatively still because she's got this hindrance in her marriage of not being able to do things.

SPEAKER_01

And her first thought was like, Well, I guess I have to give up my career now.

SPEAKER_00

I'm done now. That was it.

SPEAKER_01

He said one passing comment, and you're gonna give it all up.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, I don't know what tube movies Shemia's in, but uh she was on a press tour at the start of this episode.

SPEAKER_01

I said, What press tour for what movie?

SPEAKER_00

She was. I didn't even blink and notice it.

SPEAKER_01

She was sitting with her co-star and an interviewer. You said didn't even register. Nope. Sorry, girl. It can't be a big movie. I've never knew she was in a movie.

SPEAKER_00

No, it's gotta be straight to Tubi.

SPEAKER_01

Mm-hmm. Because I see all the movie trailers, at least the big ones. I've gotta tell you, I just love Angela Oakley.

SPEAKER_00

Angela's killing it this season.

SPEAKER_01

She's housewiving to a T. She's like doing conflict and immediate resolution by the next episode. Not by the end of the season at the reunion, but like next next time she sees these people, she's like, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_00

Which she was not like in the past. No.

SPEAKER_01

And I'm like, she if she don't win whatever the fuck most improved housewife.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know how we get her that award, but I'm campaigning.

SPEAKER_00

Ooh, there should be like Bravo Con awards.

SPEAKER_01

There are. That's why I'm like, she better win one.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, most improved housewife.

SPEAKER_01

And people loved her last season, but she's a real MVP. Because they all show up to go to Phaedra's sound bath, meditation, Reiki time, when Angela sees who was it? Was it uh Kelly or Kay? She was like, I'm so sorry. I didn't, I misunderstood. I thought it was Shamia who was stirring the pot. And none of them had a word to say. They were just silent, especially Shamia.

SPEAKER_00

But she apologized. That's why I'm like, why are you mad? And then they kind of just yeah, stare at her for a while.

SPEAKER_01

And you know, Angela's like, okay, I'm done with that.

SPEAKER_00

She said, hands clean.

SPEAKER_01

Let me remove myself. Then they do the actual meditation in the pool.

SPEAKER_00

Shamia almost drowns, apparently.

SPEAKER_01

I love the way Aidan was holding her in her floaty like a baby.

SPEAKER_00

As a 15-year-old child, not even a man.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly. He's like, I okay, I don't know what to do. And she just froze.

SPEAKER_00

She said, And I love Phaedra telling him to go get her too.

SPEAKER_01

And then she goes out on the side. And when they were doing the sound bath, she was getting into the rhythm. It's like that's real, Shamia. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00

I loved the sound bath with Phaedra on the flute. I was dead.

SPEAKER_01

They just cut to Phaedra playing the flute, and I was crying. I haven't laughed that hard at Atlanta in a long time.

SPEAKER_00

When she said Andretta 2K, I was dead. And then she brought out the fattest flute, like a big dick flute, started piping it down.

SPEAKER_01

She did. I was like, is that a wind flute?

SPEAKER_00

What is what is that?

SPEAKER_01

Then after that, that's when they got to Shemia. Just like.

SPEAKER_00

I would be the same way.

SPEAKER_01

And finally, we got some uh addressment of Kelly wearing her white t-shirt in her confessional.

SPEAKER_00

Which I gotta say, did somebody get a sneak preek view? Because, like, I didn't see the white t-shirt last week. And here's the white t-shirt, but I heard about the white t-shirt last week.

SPEAKER_01

I've been hearing about it, I feel for like two weeks on social media.

SPEAKER_00

There's gotta be someone who's getting these episodes early.

SPEAKER_01

And whoever you are, can you call us? Because we want the inside too.

SPEAKER_00

I don't want to wake up at 3 a.m.

SPEAKER_01

No. So, Kelly, no offense. That probably is the worst confessional I've ever seen.

SPEAKER_00

Don't care if it's Tom Ford or not. You looked like trash.

SPEAKER_01

You rolled out of bed and said, All right.

SPEAKER_00

It wasn't even a good white tea. It was just it was a white tea. It was overly baggy, so it didn't look good.

SPEAKER_01

Well, you know she had to get an extra large and she said, Okay, it's a dress.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, but like there's ways to do that. You don't get like one, you look like Dobby. You don't look like you're wearing a nice like t-shirt dress, like that kind of cinches a little bit.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-huh. And I knew the producer was being shady shady. Because she said, You want to tell the people about what you're wearing? I was like, we never hear the producers' voices. So I know that was shade.

SPEAKER_00

Especially over what they're wearing.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-huh. Sorry. Not sorry. So then after the meditation, they all sit for dinner. And this is where this episode popped off.

SPEAKER_00

Finally.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-huh. And unfortunately, it was like the final five minutes.

SPEAKER_00

Which was the preview for it last week. So we kind of already knew.

SPEAKER_01

Because you told me it was like you were like Porsche's getting a glass in the face and walking out. And that's what happened.

SPEAKER_00

And that's where Drew and Kay Michelle got into it over black again. She said, Yodole, yeah. Drew told her, You need a yodel your something. She said, I will yodel. Yodole.

SPEAKER_01

She was real for that. I don't care. Then for some reason, because the fight is originally really between Kay and Portia. Because Porsche's like, I really would have appreciated it if you had just told me. Because you could tell I was trying to be nice to you in that moment when we were in Dallas, and you let me comfort you instead of just telling me.

SPEAKER_00

And Kay, with the voices in her head, is like, Well, why would I tell you when you should know?

SPEAKER_01

Uh-huh. If you're already plotting against you. You're doing it. You see, Portia is stumped. She's just like, I don't know what to do.

SPEAKER_00

I don't believe Portia really is trying to do anything nefarious because Portia really can't hide when she's doing something shady. It's true. Because she just turns any kind of defensiveness becomes whatever you're accusing her of. We've watched it all season already. It's happened with Kelly multiple times. Whatever you accuse her of, she just throws it back at you. And this, she's just sitting there going, What? What?

SPEAKER_01

Baffled. And I was too at this point. I'm like, we're still going.

SPEAKER_00

Just Kay.

SPEAKER_01

Baby, I think you gotta get off Twitter. It might not be helping.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you need some help.

SPEAKER_01

Sometimes if you hear voices in your head, it's not right. It ain't real. For some reason, the fight, I almost said pipe, the fight pivots to Kelly and Porsche. Like immediately. Kelly was looking for her moment.

SPEAKER_00

Kelly's always looking for her moment. She's got to make that bread.

SPEAKER_01

Because she said it in the episode, I can't film my kids. So immediately she puts a glass in Portia's face and like there. She goes looking for her moment.

SPEAKER_00

Like, I still don't know what that popped off about.

SPEAKER_01

Me neither.

SPEAKER_00

I just know glass in the face, Portia saying, Get that glass out of my face.

SPEAKER_01

It was about Portia accusing Kelly of sleeping with the married man.

SPEAKER_00

Again.

SPEAKER_01

Because it was Kay Michelle being like, You why would I trust you, Portia? You're the one who when I first sat down with you, accused her of being with a married man.

SPEAKER_00

And then Portia said, Well, she did sleep with that preacher.

SPEAKER_01

So she did. We didn't know he was a preacher.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, no, she soft outed him totally. And if you want your research done, you just gotta go on Twitter now to figure out who it was.

SPEAKER_01

I was just gonna say she knew what she was doing. She gave the audience enough breadcrumbs to go figure it out.

SPEAKER_00

They figured it out right away. And I feel bad for that preacher's wife. That's all.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's all. Because I don't feel bad. You're a preacher cheating on your wife. Seems about right.

SPEAKER_00

Sounds like someone's not making it into heaven.

SPEAKER_01

No kidding. What are you up to? But I lived for Portia in that. She said, Phaedra, you know he's a preacher. You know who he is. And Phaedra was like, Yes, I do. Trying not to out him, which I do appreciate, Phaedra.

SPEAKER_00

Phaedra looking out for the families this year.

SPEAKER_01

And then they hit us with a to be continued. The fight's not over.

SPEAKER_00

And then we go on to Rory, where it picks up in season one, episode nine.

SPEAKER_01

Questionable behaviors.

SPEAKER_00

This episode starts where the fight left off, and we have Rosie and Kelsey ending their fight. Kelsey's on her way home. She calls Liz and tells her she's been called a slam pig.

SPEAKER_01

She omits the fact that she pulled up with a bullhorn on her car.

SPEAKER_00

She does.

SPEAKER_01

To everybody. She never mentions that part.

SPEAKER_00

No, and Liz is just like, oh, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's an overreaction. But good, it made good TV.

SPEAKER_00

It did. I don't think though that they needed to include that extra little bit. I felt like they extend a lot of these Rhode Island episodes, I've noticed, like 10 minutes. And I felt like they did not need the 10 minutes this episode.

SPEAKER_01

No, because you know what I felt about that is that they gave a lot of that time to Rula and Alicia on the beach.

SPEAKER_00

And again, another scene cut too long because Alicia doesn't tell Rula about the video of her husband cheating.

SPEAKER_01

And it's just Rula ranting about, like, here's what you have to do to protect yourself. And I'm like, Are you doing any of that, Rula? Because you seem a mess.

SPEAKER_00

And then Alicia asking you, How long have you been married for? And you defend your marriage, like he's not cheating on you. And girlfriend, your girl's asking you how long you've been married for. You should be questioning why she's asking you questions about your marriage.

SPEAKER_01

But then Rula would say stuff like, you know, he used to worship me. Isn't it sad where we've come? But then she's also like, But the mistress is crazy and you can't believe it. And I'm like, but you're admitting it in some of your words.

SPEAKER_00

She needs to just get him an AI girlfriend.

SPEAKER_01

Do something, a fleshlight. Lock him in a room.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, and then we have a triple date between Jo Allen, we have Liz, and we have Kelsey with their men.

SPEAKER_01

Bill, Gary.

SPEAKER_00

And Jerry.

SPEAKER_01

And Jerry, yeah. I love that everyone, it's very jersey. Like almost all the men have the same names.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, we have two Billy's and then a Gary and a Jerry. But I digress.

SPEAKER_01

Their triple date was cute though. I liked seeing all the men. I also like seeing all the men get a little shady.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, because they actually asked Bill, they said, Do you have a problem with that man paying them bills? And just like I thought, seems like he does.

SPEAKER_01

He sure does seem like he does.

SPEAKER_00

He said, It's not his problem to be paying for that.

SPEAKER_01

Well, and you can tell he's not thrilled about that situation. And then uh Kelsey can't help herself. She they're like, Do you have to do anything for him to pay your rent? She's like, I have to blow him once a month.

SPEAKER_00

Not even once a month. She said once a week.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, it was a week. Even worse.

SPEAKER_00

He didn't find that funny at all. I wouldn't find it funny.

SPEAKER_01

I didn't because I'm like, I see him, he's uncomfortable before you got asked that question.

SPEAKER_00

So And if the rumors are true and it's been two years, time to cut the cord. I'm a little bit like, all right, girl, are you going over there once a week? Because how is this still happening?

SPEAKER_01

And he knows you're with Bill at this point.

SPEAKER_00

So yeah, she says if I got serious with Bill, he would cut it off. So, like if you move in with him or what? Because I thought you were in a relationship, and I if I was your ex, I would stop paying the second you got in another relationship.

SPEAKER_01

Doesn't matter if we live together.

SPEAKER_00

Doesn't matter any of it. Now you're moved on, I'm moved on.

SPEAKER_01

Also, as Liz said, it's common law if Rhode Island has common law, but you should have gone to the court about that.

SPEAKER_00

I'm like, then you gotta go through things, but you didn't. Especially if he's a judge's son or something, you're not gonna go anywhere in that, anyways.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you well, that's a good point. They also talk about Alicia. Is she was she homeless or not?

SPEAKER_00

They can't seem to let that go, Liz can't. But she claims she's trying to protect Alicia's family by being like they were never homeless because the family took them in. Right.

SPEAKER_01

They stepped in and would never have let them be actually on the street.

SPEAKER_00

But I see Alicia's point. Like, if you removed me from my home, and now we're in a situation where perhaps we're living out of like garbage bags or boxes that we could get, and we have to move and shuffle those around every so often because we can't stay here, we can't stay there. You're homeless.

SPEAKER_01

That happened to me when I was a teenager. We had to move in with someone, but I never thought of it as homelessness personally. Because I was like, Well, I have a somewhere to go, I just would rather kill myself than be there.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and maybe for you it was temporary and you didn't have to do it more than once.

SPEAKER_01

That's true.

SPEAKER_00

Because she did say there was times they moved house to house. Her mom said that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and then she reiterated.

SPEAKER_00

So I'm on Alicia's side with this one, and it's like not that big a deal. No, you don't have to be like homeless in the sense of smelly and like on a street corner. Yeah, there's different versions of it. You don't have a house, you don't have anywhere to go.

SPEAKER_01

That's homeless. So I saw her point there. And I can get wanting to protect her family because of like, oh, they all stepped in and made sure they had somewhere to be, but it's like that doesn't change when she was a child, how she felt. Yeah. I think that's where she was getting at. It's like I felt like we were made to be homeless by my own father. Like, I get that.

SPEAKER_00

That's okay. Let her say that. And she's a child, so emotions are always more extreme when you're a child. So what she felt is what she felt.

SPEAKER_01

And it's clearly a trigger spot for her by the end of the episode. That is clear.

SPEAKER_00

Very clear.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, so what happened first? Trivia night or Alicia's plan? Trivia night. Trivia night was first. Okay, well, Ashley and What's his name? Jared. Host a trivia night at Audrey's, which Alicia calls Aubrey's. And the editors had to put in a little thing that said Aubrey's equals Audrey's.

SPEAKER_00

Because she just won't let it go.

SPEAKER_01

I love that she never gets anything right. Someone said it sh she's like Teresa of Rhode Island.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, just making up her own language. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And I love that. I don't know what Ashley was expecting to break down when she didn't uninvite Kelsey.

SPEAKER_00

I think you had a fair enough warning, Ashley. Rosie said, I don't want to be there if Kelsey's there. And then you let Rosie show up and then tell her, by the way, Kelsey's still coming.

SPEAKER_01

And she was like, You look so good today. Rosie was like, You have to tell me something or something? What's what's this? She said, I don't look that good. You gotta tell me. Keep it real. But I gotta tell you, I don't think Kelsey did anything to Rosie that Rosie hasn't done to Kelsey. So Kelsey does need to take a deep breath.

SPEAKER_00

You mean Rosie needs to take a deep breath?

SPEAKER_01

Did I say Kelsey? Yes, I meant Rosie.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I think Kelsey's a little immature. She keeps trying to come with these childish jokes, and it's not coming across to Rosie as funny because Rosie has the ick for Kelsey. And so anything Kelsey does is gonna be just forever like the worst thing she can do. And so I think it's never gonna be resolved because we have them then breaking into another argument in the middle of Audrey's over the same thing.

SPEAKER_01

Well, uh, Kelsey rolled in with her Miss Slam Pig Sash.

SPEAKER_00

She said, She's beauty, she's Grace, she's Miss Slam Pig United States.

SPEAKER_01

I said, I love all the pop culture in this show. Thank you, Kelsey. That was Miss Congeniality. These young girls are doing it. Uh-huh. They get it. They know what people want. I didn't laugh out loud because I first of all already saw that coming in the preview from last week. But also I was like, I get Rosie having the ick, but Rosie, just be the bigger person over something like that.

SPEAKER_00

You should have laughed at that.

SPEAKER_01

And turned your back and then minded and don't talk to her. But that's just me.

SPEAKER_00

And I will say though, Kelsey did walk up to Rosie right away and be like, Oh my god, Rosie, hi, how are you?

SPEAKER_01

She did. So like nothing.

SPEAKER_00

Like nothing happened. And I thought that was pretty hilarious because she was clearly trying to antagonize Rosie.

SPEAKER_01

And it worked. And she's also so like loving on the other women.

SPEAKER_00

Like, oh my God. Yeah, she has those other women like in the palm of her hand. And I haven't quite figured out how.

SPEAKER_01

Or why?

SPEAKER_00

Or why yet?

SPEAKER_01

Me neither.

SPEAKER_00

And the only thing I can think of is because she's so pretty.

SPEAKER_01

And like a beauty queen. She would have the sugar daddy. I don't know. I think that's a good thing.

SPEAKER_00

I really just think it's she's pretty and she's young. And I mean, Rosie, you're pretty and you're young too, but they picked one that they liked more. They did, the funnier one.

SPEAKER_01

That's true. And you're a little gross.

SPEAKER_00

You said you pooped your pants.

SPEAKER_01

And Kelsey said, She told me I suck dick for money. You're the one who hooked up with the basketball coach and he had to force you and give you money to shut up. To shut you up.

SPEAKER_00

And I have a little bit of tea on this. What? Barstool Sports actually came out with a little, yeah, Barstool Sports, David Portney. Uh-huh. Or Dave Portney, whatever his name is. He was like, This is big news in the sports world. It is. Because, yes, that coach that supposedly she was in an affair with was the basketball coach for Providence, Providence. Rhode Island? Yeah. For the college. And they were a really good sports team. They were doing really well. This whole thing happens with Rosie. And he has to go. The wife takes him, makes him move states. And now he's a basketball coach for Georgetown. And neither team is doing good. So Rosie, I'm surprised the whole state of Rhode Island ain't mad at you.

SPEAKER_01

I'm just going to say, you've got two states of sports fans against you now. That's scary. That's like a mob.

SPEAKER_00

And apparently, yeah, this coach was like super good. And after this whole thing with Rosie, he's not done very well.

SPEAKER_01

Was Rosie not married during all these escapades?

SPEAKER_00

Rosie's pretty young, so I would assume not.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. I couldn't tell.

SPEAKER_00

I would I want to say Rosie is probably within her first five years of marriage still.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. I was thinking so, but I'm like, we ain't getting the answer, so I'm just gonna start assuming.

SPEAKER_00

They just seem like they love each other still too much.

SPEAKER_01

That's a newer relationship. She's newer. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like she's getting ready and he's getting ready. It's all cute. She's like, look at my one eyelash, and he's like, uh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Looks good and Frank Sinatra.

SPEAKER_00

No, if they had been married longer, he'd be like, look at your dumb eyelashes.

SPEAKER_01

And she'd be like, I don't give a shit about Frank Sinatra. I I know I'm jumping ahead, but I can't wait to see him perform some Frankie Sinatra because it's gonna be a good time in that club.

SPEAKER_00

It really is, because those girls are gonna go back at it.

SPEAKER_01

They're fighting like Salt Lake City fights.

SPEAKER_00

They don't stop.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00

But yeah, so Rosie invites the girls to go to Boston to watch her husband. I don't know her husband's name.

SPEAKER_01

I keep forgetting Rich.

SPEAKER_00

Rich perform Frank Sinatra tunes. And on the way, the car ride there, Alicia, Liz, and Joelyn all take a charcuterie to go to Boston in the car.

SPEAKER_01

They were fussing over that charcuterie.

SPEAKER_00

I would have been too. I was we didn't bring this in a Tupperware, just like Alicia said.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, she was like, or Joel and was like, it's too late now. I'm like, you're still in the driveway. You say stop, I'll go get a fucking Tupperware.

SPEAKER_00

But as we're going, Alicia and Liz get into it over the homeless thing. Liz again.

SPEAKER_01

Liz was burdened, not unburdened in this episode. Because she sat in the back seat. Something was wrong with her.

SPEAKER_00

She said, You need to move me. I need to look this bitch in the eyes when I start yelling.

SPEAKER_01

She did. She said, I'm trapped back here.

SPEAKER_00

I don't blame her. I wouldn't want to be back there either. I hate people her knees were touching the seat.

SPEAKER_01

She was scared. She thought she was gonna go flying out at one point.

SPEAKER_00

Screaming.

SPEAKER_01

That's when the fight really breaks out. I didn't see the preview for this episode, so I didn't know how hard Liz was gonna go.

SPEAKER_00

She goes at her pretty good and just doesn't let it go. And I had to side with Alicia because as we brought up previously, she's just validating how she felt as a child. And she's like, you just can't let the terminology go. Right. And you just are fixated on that, and you're not listening to how I feel.

SPEAKER_01

I'd be crying too. She's got her sunglasses out because she was crying.

SPEAKER_00

I'm like, Yeah, if that's one of my good friends since childhood, and you watched me go through it, like, come on, give me a break.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And I don't need your opinion. Whether you think I was homeless or not, I'm telling you my perspective.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, I lived through it, not you.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I think Liz had a good life. It seems like it.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, she's able to afford going off to California at like 21, she said. And then now she owns a marijuana company. So that's takes a lot of money to invest. That's true. It's a lot of money that was.

SPEAKER_01

I could tell looking at her wedding ring. I had never really seen it before this episode, but I was a rock.

SPEAKER_00

That boat, too.

SPEAKER_01

Mini with the seawall. Trivia night at Audrey's really made me laugh, though, because uh we forgot to mention Ashley cried again.

SPEAKER_00

She cries every episode.

SPEAKER_01

They weren't lying when they said she's a crier. They fight and she goes behind the counter like James.

SPEAKER_00

And her husband says, get it together. This is Audrey's.

SPEAKER_01

He said, Go to the office if you need to.

SPEAKER_00

People are watching.

SPEAKER_01

They were all the customers had a great time.

SPEAKER_00

One of the I watched one of the people recording them though, and I was just like, uh.

SPEAKER_01

Put your phone down. There's cameras there. Don't record people. There should be a rule. I did love Ashley in the middle of crying about them fighting. Jared said, What's the name of the president's helicopter? She was like, Marine one. It's like, okay, she knew it. But I did love also, they said Jared was like, and we learn I didn't know uh Jared and Ashley were Disney adults, but he Yeah, they brought that up previously.

SPEAKER_00

I do. It was just touched on, but I could tell.

SPEAKER_01

They gave they do give that vibe, and he confirmed it in this episode. It was one of my favorite things in the world. And I didn't know, I thought he was gonna say anything, and then he said Disney. I was like, oh okay.

SPEAKER_00

I guess he kind of looks like Prince Charming.

SPEAKER_01

He also kind of looks like uh from Tangled. Did you see Tangled, that guy? So I like Ashley and her husband. I don't all the fans are like, get her off. We need a normal person. It's good to have the normal if she could stop crying though, that would be helpful.

SPEAKER_00

She's just too pure for me, I think.

SPEAKER_01

So this is housewives.

SPEAKER_00

And you're a Disney adult. It's just not clicking for me either.

SPEAKER_01

I just need her to stop crying and actually stand on business, and then maybe she'd fit in a little bit better.

SPEAKER_00

Acting like a 30-year-old woman to start.

SPEAKER_01

Because she's they're just fighting, and she said, And I'm like, why are you crying? They we're not lying. No. And I've seen so many clips now from her on Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise or whatever, just crying the whole time. How'd she get picked? So I saw the clip. Jared picked someone else originally, and she's storming around crying. She they put her in the car, you know, they always escort him out. She jumped out the car and came back. She cried crying at them. So I read some information that said he loved that so much he chose to not be with the girl he picked and pursued Ashley. Oh, he's crazy too. They both are crazy a little bit. Disney adults. Disney adults. Can't trust them all. Where do we go? Oh, so then back to them driving. They fight Alicia's crying.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and then it just ends.

SPEAKER_01

And then that's the end. Wow.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Next week look good though. Joe Ellen and Liz are getting into it.

SPEAKER_00

I can't wait. There was hands.

SPEAKER_01

Liz was scooting her chair.

SPEAKER_00

She was being very passive aggressive.

SPEAKER_01

When we start pushing each other's chairs, that's when I get invested. Yes. So I can't wait. I do feel bad because it's at Alicia's expense, kind of, but just sit there with your sunglasses on, Alicia, and you'll be fine. Oh, did we touch on Alicia's? Uh we didn't, we did not. Her business plan.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, that's okay. She didn't really do much. She just brought a science board.

SPEAKER_01

That's what I wanted to talk about. She brought the science board fair poster. Yeah. The trifold.

SPEAKER_00

It was hilarious.

SPEAKER_01

And she said, because that's all I know how to do.

SPEAKER_00

It was not a good science board, though, that she put together.

SPEAKER_01

It didn't make sense. She was bopping around. It did not look good. She made you know she made her daughter do that PowerPoint. She's like, I don't know how to hook it to the TV.

SPEAKER_00

Can you blame her? No, but it's sometimes it gets complicated.

SPEAKER_01

It just made me laugh that she's like, here's why I'm good for business, and she cannot get it together for the presentation.

SPEAKER_00

I will say her husband did admit to her that in his will and stuff, she is the beneficiary. So she's not totally gonna be homeless again or have nothing if something were to happen to him. She is taken care of.

SPEAKER_01

She said, even a money manager so that you don't blow through money.

SPEAKER_00

And she's like, you know, chest pain. He's like, no, not with money.

SPEAKER_01

I agreed with him.

SPEAKER_00

But if you haven't had money your whole life, you can't hold the money.

SPEAKER_01

Right. So you need someone else to do it. And he also acquiesced and said, you should be a partner. You're right.

SPEAKER_00

And he gave her a little percentage. I was like, I like him.

SPEAKER_01

I was unsure about this man.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I thought he was like controlling and stuff, but I think it's just her being a little neurotic. Dumb and neurotic. And him just she doesn't involve herself, so he doesn't involve her.

SPEAKER_01

He just rolls with it, you can tell. I'm like, so they just really she wasn't lying. They really never went through this conversation. You can tell by his reaction.

SPEAKER_00

They'll never get married.

SPEAKER_01

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_00

She's got to plan a wedding and she's never gonna do that.

SPEAKER_01

He'd have to do it. But I did love your um hard to follow science board, Alicia. So don't be scared to do more like that.

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_01

All right, ladies. We'll see you. I think we have another episode, two more next week. So see you then.

SPEAKER_00

See you next week. Have a good week. Bye. Follow us on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, wherever you want to follow us. Friends of the show.

SPEAKER_01

With a Z.

SPEAKER_00

Thank you. Bye. Bye.
