🐚 RH of Rhode Island Recap: Trivia Night Madness, Pizza Mama Schemes & Van-Charcuterie Chaos

Amy and Emily lean hard into the chaos and comedy of “Rhode Island kind of a day,” roasting the disrespectful, table-switching bar trivia scene, spiraling into bug trivia, and joking that everyone on the cast is “burying” each other. Amy celebrates being done with jury duty and they riff on Alicia’s over-the-top “Pizza Mama” presentation (including notes in pizza boxes and heart-shaped pizza loyalty ideas), while dragging Barry/Billy/Buddy for his weird comments. They laugh at Alicia’s confident word mix-ups (“stickle,” “Audrey/Aubrey Plaza”) and lose it over the open charcuterie board in the car—strawberries on the floor and back on the tray. They debate the Liz vs. Alicia “homeless” semantics fight, react to Rosie’s husband’s music video, and dish on the Coach Cooley rumor mess and Kelsey’s bullhorn stunt.

Speaker 1: Drama, Darling.

Speaker 2: Drama, Darling Drama, Darling.

Speaker 3: Hello, welcome in, Darlings. It's a Rhode Island kind of

a day, and Emily Dress is here to share that

day with me. Did you buy any chance?

Speaker 1: Emily?

Speaker 3: By the way, look up what the Blue Bug and

Rhode Island is from the Trivia night. Shoh oh, okay,

that's all right.

Speaker 1: I was getting so anxious and I was answering the

questions that I could hear, uh huh, and I was like, guys,

what this is so disrespectful to the trivial game in general.

I love bar trivia, Darlings, Yeah, my favorite. And there

was just a lack of respect m to whoever planned

that game. And I mean, I know Ashley's husband was

reading the questions, but like, yes, if he sat there

and wrote that game out, and that's how they treated it,

switching tables and teams like the points don't fucking matter.

Speaker 3: That was not only was that insane just from a

gamer's point of view and a trivia point of view.

And shout out to Ashley for trying to play the

trivia And I was actually impressed that Ashley and Joe

Allen got in an answer which the marine won the

hell like the President's helicopter, and that they attempted. Ashley

attempted to figure out what the Blue bug is. Now,

I'm looking this up right now. It says the Big

Blue Bug, also known as Nibbles wood Away, is the

giant termite mascot of Big Blue Bug Solutions, located along

I ninety five in Providence, Rhode Island. Is that is

that what we're talking about and we'll never know? Okay, well, no,

you're right. How about this one? What is the Rhode

Island state bug? The American burying beetle is the Rhode

Island state insect. So historically, this is you're gonna get

your historical facts here, Your real housewife's history is happening

in real time. It was found in thirty five states.

And besides, Rhode Island currently has populations in Nebraska, Oklahoma,

South Dakota, Kansas, and Arkansas. And again, that is the

American burying beetle. You know, you know who's burying each other?

Several people. First of all, we've got Kelsey and Rosie

practically burying each other, and you got Liz practically burying

herself under that trivia table. Then you got Liz and

Alicia burying each other in the van.

Speaker 1: What about next week Dino's up to I don't know

what he's up to. He's badly burying somebody agedly.

Speaker 3: Allegedly he's already buried him, ye know, And I mean

b no, hey, b no, it's a matter of time

where we read you were in the news for something

of criminal activity. By the way, I think it's time

for me to announce something very important that has happened

today in my life.

Speaker 1: You're going to meet Dino at the sea wall.

Speaker 3: No, we're all going to go down to meet Dono.

We're all going to go down to the sea wall

with my husband and do you know so everybody knows

this no ongoing, no ongoing anything. No, that's not right.

That's not what I was going to say. I am

officially finished with jury duty. Thank you, Thank you so much, everybody, Thank.

Speaker 1: You for your longest service of all time.

Speaker 3: Thank you very much. It was a month. In fact,

it was every bit of a month. I honestly thought

we were going to get out earlier for whatever reason

we did not, and hashtag no regrets. It was amazing, powerful,

life changing, important, and it was more than a civic duty.

It was a life lesson. And don't worry, I'm not

going to cry. You're waiting for the joke. You're waiting

for the punchline. There is no punchline. The real truth

of it.

Speaker 1: More about that fucking bug in Rhode Island. Keep going,

keep going.

Speaker 3: I have a presentation I'd like to present to you

all about why you should you should answer a summons

and commit to Jerry.

Speaker 1: Jerry Mama, Jerry Mama.

Speaker 3: So we're going to have beige boxes with beige bows,

and we're going to serve you your verdict in this box.

The four person is always going to be a blue,

big blue bug. It's like the mascot, Well, what's your

favorite pot? What's your favorite pot right now? Though? What's

your favorite pot right now though?

Speaker 1: The bug box? That's really good?

Speaker 3: All right, good, okay, thank you, Thank you, Billy Gary

or whatever the heck your name is, Billy, Billy. We

can't go wrong. You know. I love this show so much.

It's a little late to say welcome in, but it

I just want to say welcome in and welcome back,

darlings to the new refreshed Your bitch wife right here,

who has no longer an eighth duty in her life.

That is swept off the table and I'm ready to

get going.

Speaker 1: You're right, are you off now?

Speaker 3: Off the clock?

Speaker 1: That?

Speaker 3: Yep?

Speaker 1: For how long?

Speaker 3: No, they can't. It's done today.

Speaker 2: I know.

Speaker 1: But like I'm saying, in a year where you get another.

Speaker 3: One, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1: Call sheet for a minute.

Speaker 3: Yeah, no. You know what's crazy is that they're like

when the judge was originally like doing the selection, she's like,

you know, you'll be You'll be excused for a year,

you know after this sound I'm like a year a year.

This was a year that I served. I just served

a year. I mean, I don't know what the chances

of that are. But let's just say we'll cross that

Rhode Island Bridge when we come to it, Love Island,

Jerry duty, all right, So we might as well talk

about Alicia in her gorgeous, gorgeous presentation. Yeah, that was

great and I love that Rula. By the way, when

they were on the beach in their little black bikinis,

yes they looked like you know the twins emoji on

your phone, of course, Yeah, that's like what they looked like.

But I didn't realize that Rula was like a financial

planner or what have you. I did not know that.

Oh yeah, she did know that.

Speaker 1: She mentioned she she mentioned it's not that the front

Usually what we're seeing is the show with her husband

going down. But I did know that she was okay

with her without him financially, and that was why she,

I guess, has this decent business going on.

Speaker 3: She's the least thing. She's a work.

Speaker 1: Do you think she had Amanda stormed them on the beach,

that old neighbor of Joe Ellen.

Speaker 3: The fix was No, I don't not. I honestly think

that was very organic. What do you think I do too?

It's not like they got anything from her other than like,

oh well, I guess they did. There was a jumping

off point to say like she's she's doesn't get along

with Joellen either, she won't have anything to do with her.

That's a neighbor.

Speaker 1: I think it was real. I just think that it

was so it's it feels to me like what we

keep hearing Rhode Island.

Speaker 3: Is yeah, everyone's at the peach did right?

Speaker 1: Yeah?

Speaker 3: And it could be also that like maybe d had

a falling out because Amanda wanted to be on the show,

and Joellen didn't, you know, help get her on the show.

So all Amanda's been doing has been waiting to watch

to see where they're gonna pop up filming. So she

saw that they were filming there, and she showed up

allegedly allegedly I'm killing kind of like what Shariz does

on Potomac. She like goes and shows up where they're

filming the.

Speaker 1: Rhode Island, Cherise, that's her.

Speaker 3: It's a world island.

Speaker 1: Storming the beach, yeah, storm on the beaches, Yeah, storm

the beach.

Speaker 3: But I did like that. Rula, you know, was like,

you need to get this under control. You need to

get your financial stability, you know, your legs underneath you

financially present something to your husband. And and then of

course before we get to the presentation, which is what

we all want to discuss. Uh, Alicia does, you know,

speak with Rula about her situation, and she's just hanging

on by a string. She says, my light has been dimmed.

And I was like, oh, my doubt, her sparkle, her

sparkle's down. She got to get it by you. But

she's like, my light has been dimmed. And she's taking

steps to repair, and she's doing everything to stay zen.

And then she's like Brian used to kiss the ground

that I walk on. So it's odd to believe that

this can happen. Get your finances, and I love these ladies. Yeah,

what did you think about that? I kind of. I

just feel bad for Roula at this point. It's tough.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too, And I think, like I saw

a little bit online where she's getting some backlash about

like thinking that she could control the narrative. But I

think we got to give her a little grace because

nobody knows what the hell they're getting into when they

get into these shows.

Speaker 2: Oh.

Speaker 3: Absolutely, she's completely exposed and now she's just trying to

get through it. I have no problem with that, I mean,

because it's out of her hands.

Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 3: And she still doesn't even know about the video at

this point, and Alisha does.

Speaker 1: I'm sure she. If she doesn't know about that particular video,

she knows about.

Speaker 3: Many the other ones. Yeah right, she knows. Yeah, you're

right about that. She knows what's in his phone, but

she doesn't know that it's out there forever.

Speaker 1: And I see in her mind she do think that

she was told that Brian and her story would have

to be discussed on TV, but it wasn't going to

be the main focus. So I do think she's also

operating in the place you're like, yeah, I'm gonna acknowledge it,

but really they're going to be talking about my business running.

That's up right for ha.

Speaker 3: So today, Rula and Alisha, we're gonna have you guys

walking on the beach, and Rula's is the great opportunity

for you to talk about your business like and you know,

really the onus is on Alisha because she doesn't have

it together, you know, financially, she's in a really bad

position with her husband. So you really have to be

the voice of reason here, okay.

Speaker 4: And producers are like c Amanda, yeah right, producers like Alicia.

Speaker 1: You have to tell her about this video today. This

is the fifteenth time we filmed in the last four days.

You have to tell her today.

Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, I will, I'll come.

Why am I the one who has to do it?

Why I'm too lazy? I can't.

Speaker 1: All of her interviews are about not wanting to talk

about the video.

Speaker 3: I know, And then doesn't she say something like she

almost doesn't want to try to like secure financial protection

and security because she's like too lazy, because it takes

a lot of work. I hear you on that, Alicia,

it does.

Speaker 1: You know though, to that point to her presentation, like

I will say that it does take a lot of work,

but I don't think she's realized. She doesn't give herself

credit for the work she's put in.

Speaker 3: Yeah, she really downplayed her her role in it and

sold herself short at the end by you know, she

ten percent is not enough, and then she wrote the

caveat of as long as I work. I was like,

don't sign your up, don't don't sign yourself up to clock.

Speaker 2: No.

Speaker 1: I know, I know, and I think we all do that.

But there is this idea. It's like work has to

be something that I hate, and it's like or it

has to be really hard, and sometimes if it comes

naturally to you, it doesn't feel like work.

Speaker 3: And I think some of this comes naturally, just like

this podcast.

Speaker 1: Well I do hate it.

Speaker 3: Okay, I go back to jury duty. Now you guys

know why I was away on jury duty. Quotes Emily

refused to record for a month. Amy Mama, that board Okay,

wait when she was like, I know how to get

the kids like presentation like that trifle presentation board. I

would have never known what that meant until Maddie started,

obviously going to school, because that's what you have to

get for the science fair and stuff. I didn't even

know those things existed because I was born in another era,

in another time, in another like BC. You know.

Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like, go go over to the grocery store

and see if they have any huge boxes we can

cut up for your science fair price.

Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's like we're gonna take

you behind the behind Jerry's Deli and we're gonna go

pick up some boxes over there. There's cockroaches on them.

Paint over it, you know, paint over it. That's what

you're gonna do. Yeah, don't get me started on uh stickers,

you know what I'm saying. How about stickers, Amy, You

gotta scratch that gum up off the cement and color

a little picture on it, stick it on something. There

you go, you got your stickers. Scratch and sniff smells

like bubble gum. Okay, grew up in the eighties, grew

up in the eighties, Go outside. See if you get

kidnapped or not.

Speaker 1: You know knows, sky's the limit today.

Speaker 3: Sky's the limit. Any who. So the was fabulous. I

like the thought that she put into it and that

her daughter was there. Didn't like that. Bill Billy whomever

was like, why you got why you got lipstick on?

Like why you why are you going to drag your daughter?

You know you're get in the middle of this presentation.

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1: He said something weird too that I was like, oh, man,

if she never goes down, this is going to be

the clip that plays over and over again. I was like, yeah,

I want to. He didn't say, did you say I

want to kill you or something? For He's like, I'm

going to it was like violent. I'm always like buddy,

right on.

Speaker 3: But right, but you know I'm gonna kill you. Oh

it isn't. I thought it was okay. I said it

same thing, Billy, Buddy, Bobby, Bunkie, Barry.

Speaker 1: Yeah, let's call them Barry. So yeah.

Speaker 3: So he's like, she's like, we're having a thing. We're

in the moment, all right. And did she ever sunglasses

on the whole time or did she put them on

at some point because that was.

Speaker 1: What she had them on the whole time. They both

did because they were both being pizza mama.

Speaker 3: Oh right, I see, I didn't quite get that part.

Speaker 1: It wasn't clear.

Speaker 3: Okay, thank you.

Speaker 1: It wasn't clear. It just was like, I think that's

what they're going for now.

Speaker 3: Listen, heart shaped pizzas all the time is a brilliant idea.

I didn't even know they made them until recently. We

went and picked up a local pizza, meat Che's right

around the corner, and then I saw on their sign

heart shaped pizzas for Valentine's Day, and I said, excuse me,

a meat cheese. So I remembered that, and I went

over there and I got us a heart shaped pizza

for Valentine's Day. And Maddie had her little friends over

and they all had heart shaped pizza. It was so exciting.

No one's ever seen the likes of that before. Why

just Valentine's Day?

Speaker 1: Well, you're saying what Alicia was laying out there.

Speaker 3: H Okay, So I love that, and I like that.

Billy Bob Bubba Berry loved the notes.

Speaker 1: The notes on the box. I'm kind of feeling like

that's a cute idea, but it's a little bit empty.

I don't know to maintain that. I don't give two

shits about it, but maybe somebody would. I was just

kind of like, it's just like, it's what are you

going to say? You know what I mean? That's going

to be personal.

Speaker 3: It's like, you know, like for example, fortunes fortune cookies, right, yeah,

everybody loves them. Yeah, don't get snarky, you love them.

Speaker 1: Oh I love a fortune cookie.

Speaker 2: Wow.

Speaker 3: Okay, that could have gone right or left. I wasn't sure.

Speaker 1: Dare you you know what I will? I don't like them.

I'll tak this counterpoint. Unpredictable and stale at best.

Speaker 3: Wow, the flavor has never been good, but we love

the whole process of it, the experience.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 3: And so it's an activation, So essentially it would be

like that, but you turn it into today's vibe. So

it's like instead of like rose all day, you're.

Speaker 1: Gonna handwrite that on the box, you're wasting values.

Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no, no, you're not gonna write it.

You're gonna print out different messages on paper and you're

gonna put the note in the box.

Speaker 2: Now.

Speaker 1: I like this idea because you could collect the notes.

Speaker 3: Yeah, and then after you collect ten notes, you get

a free what this okay this, after you collect ten notes,

you get a free heart shaped pizza.

Speaker 1: Oh my god, pizza mama, Pizza mama.

Speaker 3: Okay, honey, we are We're gonna serve up some pizza

mama here. So what are some phrases that you would

have inside of the pizza box? So it would be

something like your mama pizza isn't your mama, but mama

is your pizza. I gotta, I'm not good at this,

so let's let's try that again.

Speaker 1: Or could could quote some of the wives on there,

so like then you said something.

Speaker 3: This you can't okay, but you can't get them in.

There's gonna be a lawsuit. Oh god, don't just.

Speaker 1: Spell out how Liza is the word combative? Rosie was

so camb.

Speaker 2: What Oh my god, I love it.

Speaker 3: Yeah, she does take some liberties, you know, I mean

this accent. You gotta you gotta give them a wide berth,

you know, to get around the corner her of some

of these bigger words, because where they're coming or where

they're going.

Speaker 1: Get caught up in the corner and she flows through.

Speaker 3: It's like a little speed bump, can't quite get over it,

and then you just ram it and you know I

don't over.

Speaker 1: So put that one in the pizza box.

Speaker 3: Hombata buny. Somehow it started with a V and ended

with a B.

Speaker 1: I love. Well.

Speaker 3: Actually Alicia had some I think it was when she

was talking to Liz in the van. She's just like, yeah, Patnas,

you know with Patnas and and so you gotta be

Patanas and I wanna be Patanas.

Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm talking about?

Speaker 3: I don't know what I forgot to write it down,

but god, they're so amazing too and entertaining to watch.

Speaker 1: Yeah, she said something to like, Billy is uh, he's

a stickle. He's a sickle about his business.

Speaker 3: Okay, I looked it up. It's a real word.

Speaker 1: It is, Yeah, but how I mean a stickler.

Speaker 3: That's what I thought too, But no, it's a real word, stickle.

Stickle most commonly means to argue, debate, or haggle stubbornly

over minor trivial things, trivial details.

Speaker 1: So, Alicia, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3: I am sorry. I am sorry too that I doubted you, Alicia,

and you win and so and I bet you were

not the only ones.

Speaker 1: We're always wrong. Maybe Alicia's always right.

Speaker 3: We're only like five episodes in Let's not get carried Away.

Speaker 1: Nine.

Speaker 3: Okay, I've been jury duty. It feels like I'm just

you know, you're always going to hear me talk about

jury duty because it's a huge part of my life.

Speaker 2: Now.

Speaker 3: Yeah, I lived in I got a button from it.

I'm wearing it right now, proudly gorgeous.

Speaker 1: Any Who, she did call Audrey's Aubrey's when they were

in there.

Speaker 3: Let's go over to Aubrey Plaza, this place.

Speaker 1: I gotta say, there's part of this in her parks

and rec offe. Sorry, I don't mean to be a commodi.

The way Alicia's brain works, I have some of that

in me in terms of like really confidently saying the

exactly whole word and then switching it at the end

of the wrong thing. So my heart goes out to

her because I'm like, oh god, I get it, I know,

but I love her confidence. She just lands that plane

in the wrong airport and is like, yep, oh, well

you take care of this airplane now bye, that's so good.

Speaker 3: What about that fight that she and Liz had in

the Van. You know, this whole homeless not toothless thing

is like, it's very interesting because you know, I just

feel like I do see both of their points at

the I really do. I think they both laid them

out pretty clearly. I immediately knew what Liz was doing. She

was trying to, you know, put an olive branch out

to her to be like, you're gonna look like a

fool on national television if you claim that you were

homeless when you weren't, when there are real unhoused people

dealing with very serious things living in their car things

like that, Right, So she was trying to make sure

that Alicia's not going to taint the good name of

Rhode Island. And I appreciate that. Now when you get

further into her story, you do understand that ultimately, at

the end of the day, Yeah, her dad did leave

her family homeless. He left them without a home. The

definition is there, However, they were in homes. They did

have a home to be in, even though it wasn't theirs.

So technically, and people who are unhoused don't even have

a home to go to to stay in. They can

go to shelters, right, But.

Speaker 1: I think also what Alicia, there are things that aren't

being said or that aren't being clear. It's just like

a breakdown in communication. Because I agree with you. I

think Liz is like trying to protect Alicia from us basically, well.

Speaker 3: Protect herself or protect the show and more important, more importantly,

and not listen to her pain, which is sad at

this point.

Speaker 1: Right because really, what Alicia's saying is I was a kid,

so you know, whatever cultural norms and society you guys

are talking about, like Liz is saying, I was five

and all or however old she was, and all of

a sudden, my house and all my stuff was gone.

My mom was taking us. We were crashing at different

people's houses, which I can only imagine came with its

own baggage of being like, don't do this, don't do this,

don't do that. You know, behave do you know? So

I just so I get that, I get what Alicia's.

Speaker 3: Saying, so absolutely, yeah, I you know, I think it

comes down to like semantics. Liz would like for her

to word that differently, and she is way too hurt

to be able to hear what she's saying and then

rephrase it and quite Frankly, I don't know if Liz

does Liz even know her well enough to know her story,

because if she did, oh, I don't know why she

had to be so cold about it, because I think

there was another way to do it. Maybe initially it

would have been it's when she initially was like, you

weren't homeless, Like let's get that out of the way.

But in this van, I don't know why Liz didn't

back down a little bit and say, look, I'm not

trying to attack you for what you went through, So

I apologize if I triggered you, you know, because she

it is a trigger and she's not really believing her.

It's like Alicia. The way Alicia must be feeling is

that Liz doesn't see or believe her pain and that's

going to be really hard to accept, and which is

why she started crying.

Speaker 1: Well, I think Liz is probably being like, you're so

lucky you have all this family to lean on. I

think Liz's does not have that kind of big family

to lean on. She's mentioned that in terms of like

compared to Alicia. But I also think maybe Alicia's mom

and Liz's mom know each other or their aunts or something.

But I could see Liz and Liz's connections, not realizing

how bad it was for Alicia and her mom because

her mom does speak on it, she's coming up or whatever.

Speaker 3: Well, she kind of did a little bit in this.

Yeah Alicia's mom you mean right, yeah, Alicia.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 3: She was just like, yeah, he did us so wrong.

I made that such a mistake, which is sad, you know,

because you want to see somebody at that point in

their life say that was bad. But you know, but

we had nowhere to go. We went house to house.

I picked the wrong man, But you want to have

that person see it through to the other side and

be like, but we we survived in the face of

some unfortunate circumstances, and we leaned on family who were

there for us, and they gave us a home to

stay in, and home is where the heart is. Like

you know what I'm saying. I think that that all sounds.

I know it sounds very lifetime movie esque or home goods,

But my point is is that, like, you want to

find strength in that at some point in your life,

And it really sounded like her mom certainly has no

peace at all from that and probably still has a

ton of anger and then, and in part Alicia does

too when understandably so, but she hasn't gotten to the

other side of it at all.

Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, Peacock, your picture for Rhode Island

Housewives is Alicia and her aunt. Like, get us another thumbnail, Peacock,

Please thank you for the entire show. It's already we're

trying to learn names, and I'm like, what the hell

get another wife in that?

Speaker 2: Oh?

Speaker 3: How interesting?

Speaker 1: Yeah? Maybe that was up until every week I'm like,

why are they doing this? Why is that The thumbnail

on the main page is the graphic of the show.

But then once you're in to watch more episodes, it's

just Alicia and her aunt at the top.

Speaker 3: That's amazing. I kind of love that.

Speaker 1: Actually, it's such a slam to everybody that casts?

Speaker 3: Is it a slam pig to everybody else?

Speaker 1: Slam pig?

Speaker 2: Oh my god.

Speaker 3: Alicia was like, I love slam pig. I love that.

My mom used to say that, and the definition of

that is terrible.

Speaker 1: It's bad.

Speaker 3: I didn't look that up. We all heard it. I

won't repeat that. Yeah, but she was like, oh, I

love slam pig. It sounds like some sort of great

barbecue restaurant, you know, Pizza Mama with a slam page

barbecue pizza. Yeah, that was sad. At the end. Alicia

was like, you're trying to dissect what I was saying

instead of how I feel. I get it. They were

not seeing each other. They were not seeing each other. Hey, guys,

if you haven't tried Born shoes, now is the time.

I love my Born shoes. I have the Bengal in zebra.

It's a gorgeous zebra print. It's so cute and it

is so comfortable. Now here's the thing. I wear them

Remy for sponsoring this episode. Oh my god, wait a minute,

how about that? How about when Alicia puts strawberries that

were on the floor back onto the sharcuterie board and

then looks away like it didn't happen.

Speaker 1: Guys, why are you bringing an open charcuterie board into

the car? What is going on?

Speaker 3: Have sides come on?

Speaker 1: Pizza? No? No?

Speaker 3: I mean it looked gorgeous. It did, but like that

was trouble. First of all, Joe Ellen spilled drink on it.

Speaker 1: It's dumb. It gave me anxiety. This stalked the house.

Speaker 3: It was such a mess.

Speaker 2: It was such a mess.

Speaker 3: Then you've got this awkward thing. You're trying to enjoy it.

Then she spills something on it. Then you're trying to

make it sit. You can't put it on the floor,

God forbid. And then they come up with this great well, Alicia,

another great idea. She should put that on her presentation board,

lay the charcuterie tray across the two arms of the vehicle. Beautiful.

Joellen was like, thought, she just discovered mercury, you know,

it's like that. It's not Madame Curry over here. It's

just we just laid it across two foundational pieces. Now

I'm still going to fall one break tap, Well, we're done.

Will strawberries did fall and then they landed back on

there and whose fault is that? Then we've got Liz

who's like, I need to have eye contact with you,

eye contact. I need to look at you in the

face so that we can puck. We need to look

and then Joeln's like, yeah, no problem. So they start

shifting around. All of a sudden, we just see like

brunette hair swinging from side to side, like we're inside

of a car wash. Like I'm like, are we like

drive through a car wash and it's made its way inside.

Then the freakin' driver pulls over on the side of

the freeway, and so she's like, no, you don't have

to pull over. It's like, yeah, actually he does. That's

his job to keep you safe. And now you guys

are playing musical chairs. So that you can have eye contact.

Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's cameras everywhere, so he absolutely had to

pull over because could you imagine, Yeah, something happened during

that and he's like eighty miles an hour down that.

How about that video of Rosie's husband that they showed

of him, the.

Speaker 3: Video, the music video.

Speaker 2: That was amazing. That was amazing.

Speaker 3: Oh my god, Wow, that's good chewing.

Speaker 1: That gum chewing was great, hard ass, open mouthed gum chewing.

Speaker 3: Yeah, that wide smile, just ready for the lights of

Broadway or something, or Cabo wherever they are, wherever they're going.

I love seeing him like warm up ba ba bah

in the mirror and and you know what, tbh, I

do love that kind of music and like I'm a

huge fan of that, so I would be. I've never

really seen, you know, a performer like him other than

like a Michael Boublay, and I love a Michael Boublay.

I do booblay love him. Good for you, thank you.

Speaker 1: So anyway, how about all this scandal with coach Cooley. Okay, Rosie,

they've been in the jurors box, so I don't know

if you were.

Speaker 3: Wait, oh, I thought you're talking about from the actual show. Okay, wait,

so what I know. I don't even know what you're

talking about. So from this episode, we saw Kelsey in

her confessional say I'm not I don't sleep with married men.

She does, she has more than two times, and one

person is paid her to keep her mouth shut, and

she ruined a marriage. And she said something about a coach.

So fill me in on the team.

Speaker 1: Well, so allegedly alleged two allegedly because now allegedly too.

I think Ed Cooley is getting he's lawyering up. But

he's the coach. He was in Georgetown. I don't know

where he is now, but he's like an he's like

a basketball coach a college.

Speaker 3: Oh he's a well known coach. Oh yeah, like oh wow.

Speaker 1: Carstol Dave Portnoy got involved. Then Rosie like posted a

denial video like I don't only I've never met this guy.

All this stuff, oh and the rumors and the nastiness

is that she, according to Kelsey, Rosie signed something and

that is why she can afford this lifestyle because he

paid her to be quiet. And Rosie is like, no,

that is I've never met this guy. Whatever.

Speaker 3: Now, Romas Jazz tickets.

Speaker 1: Well, I have to say, Like in the after show,

the gals are talking and Ashley said, what I absolutely

believe is that Rosie is a was a personality on

TV in a small town that people could have access to,

and I think that they kind of like made her

all the gossip and so there's like a lot of

and Kelsey's like, well on the after show, like, well,

she doesn't know that I know people that she works with,

and I'm like, who did? Everybody would know those people?

Speaker 3: Like did Kelsey name the coach? Did she name him?

Name him? Did she name this coach?

Speaker 1: So?

Speaker 3: Where did the name actually come from?

Speaker 1: The name's been out. I knew I've heard about this,

like right in the first week. You probably did too,

that there was like I didn't want to look at it.

Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't look at I was avoiding any Rhode

Island gossip at the beginning because I did not want

that in my brain. I want to go and clean,

I don't I don't want to have anything. I want

to go in like a juror.

Speaker 1: Yeah, oh gorgeous California. She uh it got mentioned. I

think in the first episode I was like, who's the

basketball coach? And then, but but very briefly. I yeah, yeah,

and then I was like, oh yeah, I kind of

remember this, and then but now it seems to be

fully out there. And like I said, like Dave Portnoy.

Speaker 3: Was talking about it, Well what did Dave say?

Speaker 1: I don't listen much to what he says, but I

know that he was saying something about Ed Cooley and

then and made this rumor go much bigger. And so

that's when Rosie posted, I've never met him, I don't

know him, like coach Ed Cooley's married, so like it's

a whole thing.

Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, oh boy, oh my goodness gracious.

Speaker 1: But so to have Kelsey come through to Rosie's house

with that loud ass fucking siren and bullhorn and and

us I know, but now I'm just like extra, like, Kelsey,

are you fucking Because Rosie's like, you know, Kelsey's spreading

these rumors about her. She's also saying like things about Brian,

she's Rosie's husband. She's also saying things about like that

she got fired from her job for sleeping around. And

then Rosie's got all.

Speaker 3: This, Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like that.

When their feud started from what I thought I understood

was that Rosie threw the first stone by calling her

out on her boyfriend, her living, her live out boyfriend. Yeah,

and it was fake that she wasn't living there anymore

and all this stuff, and that she had another boyfriend. Right,

So wasn't she the first one to strike? So if

that's the case, and I don't know, but we also

could not know that maybe Kelsey said something about Rosie

before even filming started. Maybe she was spreading some of

these rumors outside of even filming, and that's why Rosie

came on and said that about her. So yeah, I

don't know what, like what came first, the chicken or

the egg? And I certainly don't like the exploitation of

dragging all these names and things into it. If it's

not true, I think the punishment fits the crime. I mean, yes,

I'll give it to Kelsey. Yes, Rosie casts the first stone.

Let's just say it.

Speaker 1: We'll give it to you.

Speaker 3: But the rest of it, like going right, it's not

first degree, you know, it's just not Yeah, So let

me ask you this. Do you think that when Kelsey

came into Trivia Night with Miss slam Pig that that

was funny. Yeah that was fine, Okay, good because I

thought that was funny.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't even know. I mean, I think at

this point Rosie is just so done.

Speaker 3: Yeah she's so done with her. But like, yeah, but

I don't even why did they even have her over

her house if she was already so done with her?

It was funny when she called Ashley and she was like, well, yeah,

she came over and she did this, that and the

other thing. And Ash's like that's funny.

Speaker 1: Yeah, oh it's not.

Speaker 3: Okay, I'm sorry, it's terrible because like everyone's like, no,

that is kind of funny. It's just she just really

didn't have a sense of humor about it, and we

don't need to go back and read.

Speaker 1: I just can't wait for the reunion when they all

sit there with that clip now, you know what I mean, Like,

now that they've all actually seen how that went down,

I can't wait what they I see, like really all

in a room, because we kind of got a little

bit of it on the after show, but I want

them to really be like, yeah, that was I want

to hear their take because they're all getting it.

Speaker 3: Seems like it's a lot of like the way it's

described seems exactly how it was presented.

Speaker 1: I don't think they understand how loud that siren was

coming down the street over a bull warm.

Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know. Maybe I don't understand how loud

that was. Did I like miss that siren? I don't know.

Maybe I'm just like immune to these types of things anymore,

and not even considering that it was a neighborhood.

Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine you live on a quiet

street and can you imagine a police car sound coming

at your house into your driveway over and someone's over

like a bullhorn. I mean, it just sounds like shit,

it's about to go down? It does?

Speaker 3: It does?

Speaker 1: I mean, and it's not going down. But I think

it's just like for Rosie, it's like what the fuck? Like,

what are you doing? I'm here as a favor to

you so you can post this picture on Instagram with

your dumb haircut that you're giving me.

Speaker 3: Well, and she didn't get that dumb haircut, No she didn't. Yeah,

but what we did get in this episode was a

triple date night. Triple date night night.

Speaker 1: Oh my god.

Speaker 3: Those blazers were, yes, they were. I didn't mind him actually,

it just was great. Yeah, they looked very sharp. It

just was so funny that they were like exactly the

same powder blue and like the same plan and they

like a white.

Speaker 1: Shirt on liz Is.

Speaker 3: We got a little bit of foreshadowing when they talked

about Joe Ellen, because she's like, I'm surprised she called you.

When Joellen's like, I'm sorry when somebody said Rosie called

me today, I don't even know what I'm talking about

it anymore.

Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, no it was you're right, it was Joellen,

because Rosie and Joellen aren't okay friends.

Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, Okay, thank you. I don't know anymore.

And she's like, I'm surprised she called you. I'm surprised

she called yo wa yaho. And then in her confessional

she's like, Joellen is like a banana piola. Yeah, you

can slip right at it. Then not even know would

hit ya.

Speaker 2: I don't know.

Speaker 3: I'm trying trying to figure out how she does what

she does. And the producers like, so you're saying that

she like plays both sides. She's like, that's exactly what

I'm saying. Okay, that's you could have just said that,

but whatever. Then it's not fun to talk anymore if

I can't say things like that, Liz, can we get

you to say just combative one more time.

Speaker 1: Just for the commntaive.

Speaker 3: Okay, we're gonna need to so, uh we thought you

were saying. Are you saying Kocha?

Speaker 1: I'm sorry, No, I'm saying she's com.

Speaker 3: Oh I get it. You're saying she likes Benedict Cumberbatch.

Speaker 1: Is that No, I'm saying she's combat it.

Speaker 3: Oh you're saying, come and get this bat. Okay, hold on,

we'll be right there. Okay, Okay, Well we'll let the

subtitle people know what you're saying. How about like the

setup trivia question where Jared's in the background, He's like,

what's the name of the pig in toy story? The

name of him?

Speaker 1: Pig?

Speaker 3: Aham? Yes, good job good what?

Speaker 1: And he's like job what does HBO?

Speaker 2: Yeah?

Speaker 1: I really hit that HBO For all your peacock producers

out there.

Speaker 3: Sure did oh box of that?

Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, he's like HBO.

Speaker 3: He's living his best life at Audrey's. Wait, why did

Ashley have such a big meltdown?

Speaker 2: She was so freaking.

Speaker 1: It? Don't get in there.

Speaker 3: Yeah, I was really happy to see it. I'm very

happy to see it, really lovely, because we don't, you know,

when they have these events, no one's freaking there. It's

like crew, like a couple of plants and that's it.

Speaker 1: They get all. Getting under the table was so fucking crazy.

Speaker 3: That was like the most chaotic thing. I didn't know

what was going on. I really didn't. I kind of

lost control of the plot and the argument between Kelsey

and Rosie and then everyone else kind of getting involved

but then not wanting to get involved. But then it

was just like this bar table that was supposed to

house them.

Speaker 1: It made no sense. And I also like thought, like,

no other franchise is going to do this. These are

fresh baby housewives. Yeah, and I don't even think I

knew franchise, Like it is something so specific to these

gals that we might have. I could see us seeing

this if everybody was wasted in the OC ten seasons ago,

But like that would.

Speaker 3: Never right now, right because everyone would walk off. No one.

Everyone's like, no, we work and we're new. We're not

gonna leave the scene. That's why Kelsey showed up. I

mean she's like, I'm not coming if I'm sorry Rosie

showed up. She's like, I'm not coming if Kelsey's coming. Meanwhile,

she's like, hey, I'll be over here at this table

that you set up for us, you know. I mean

they're gonna show up and that's what we love. And

they didn't walk out. They just hid, you know, like

it was a drill.

Speaker 1: Yeah, they hid underneath their legs, which was also so weird.

Speaker 3: Who wants to be.

Speaker 1: We're like kids on Thanksgiving, Like we have to leave

the table, but we're gonna sneak in and spy on

the grown ups, right.

Speaker 3: And there's no table club to hide under. That was

such a chaotic scene.

Speaker 4: And then ash is like, you guys, I'm beginning to

think that Ashley's emotions don't always match the mood.

Speaker 1: I'm just softly landing on that.

Speaker 3: That's just you, that's just you. I don't think that's

a fair take.

Speaker 1: Just consider I accept the note. I'll take that note.

Speaker 3: Okay, sure enough, sure enough. Well is there anything else

from this episode? Because I sure did. It was nice

to be back in Rhode Island with these gals, and.

Speaker 1: Not too many notes on the episodes, just a lot

of ideas for the trivia night.

Speaker 3: So at Trivia Night and pizza Mama. We've got all

the ideas just.

Speaker 1: Trivia Night and mainly just questions. I have about eight

pages of questions. If you don't mind, I'll just start those.

Speaker 3: Okay, now, I'll be Ashley. Go ahead, I don't I'll

just start crying no matter what you say, Jared Audrees, Yeah,

poor Ashley. Yeah, she's having the time of her life.

It's great that Trivia Night's gonna be huge over there. Now,

it's gonna be great.

Speaker 1: They're never doing that again. What I was just that

was a one off.

Speaker 3: No way, they're gonna start it. They're gonna they have something.

They're gonna host events there. Who knows, maybe Sinatra guy

will come over there and sing.

Speaker 1: Jared can't be writing full fucking trivia games every week.

Gave me. It is a lot of work. It's a

lot of work.

Speaker 3: Can't he just pay for the game and then they

have the questions already?

Speaker 1: That's what they need. They need to hire King Trivia.

That company not sponsored, not at all, but that's what

he needs to do.

Speaker 3: Well, what why doesn't he just hire you to do it?

Speaker 1: Queen Trivia? The you're fighting with people, No, the pigs

Do named the pixelly toy. It's not named him. Originally

it was named Bacon, and then it was switched to him,

and we had Bacon down and you're not taking it.

It's like, I don't want to deal with this.

Speaker 2: Hmm.

Speaker 3: Sounds like someone lay the game.

Speaker 2: Emily.

Speaker 3: You weren't homeless, okay, we were just you were just

a trivia host that had a bad bar of unruly

people that treated you poorly one night. Okay, I stopped

taking it out on the darlings.

Speaker 1: I I Darling's here's a confession. I was the unruly

trivia person.

Speaker 3: Well, that doesn't surprise any of us.

Speaker 1: So I went to a this was twenty years ago.

I went to a Bruce trivia night and the questions

were fucking terrible. Oh they were. They were wide, they

were they they had open ended questions like answers. Oh

my god. I still I went up and I told

I like laid in. It was because it was she

start to in Chicago shout out. The DJ was like

in over his head, especially with me, because one of

the things was like what do Bruce and Patty never

do together? And I was like, this feels like fucking cheers.

What are you talking? Like? Two people that have never

been in my kitchen? That was like when Cliff Cleveland

was on Jeopardy but is never flying the plane, same

planes together. I was like, what, yes, they do they?

Speaker 3: What are you talking darling? She is on one. Just

let her go, just let her work it out. Okay,

she just let her keep it? Yeah, yeah, I know

what else did they want to help?

Speaker 1: That was the top forty question, like, yeah, you know

something with an answer? Right?

Speaker 3: So are you saying that they went? It's did they?

But you're not homeless. Okay, you're not homeless, You're just ticketless.

Speaker 1: I'm ticketless for brutes.

Speaker 3: Well, listen, I think I think we can land on that.

Speaker 2: I really do.

Speaker 3: And Emily, you know what, let's take a minute. Let's

have you take five, you know, pull yourself together. And

if anyone has any Bruce Springsteen connections, he's.

Speaker 1: Going under the table.

Speaker 3: Let's get our girl. Let's get our girls some tickets. Please.

She's gone. She's gone, by guys,
