Session 129: Alicia Carmody

23:04Oh. Oh, my God. The Italian grinder is my favorite food when I'm drinking. I don't know why. If I have, like, three drinks, I'm, like, right for that. It's the bread. It's the dressing. But that's epic. You're lying. No, it's not. What? That's so good. Do you like that? So there's a cheese crust around it. No. It's light and airy. Is anyone from Detroit over here? I never had Detroit until now. No. Oh, my God. Wait, I'm, like, actually. Yeah, it's so good. I don't like pizza. You don't like pizza? Not really. What? What do you eat? Sushi.

23:44Am I good? I'm so psychic, by the way. FYI. I eat, like, sushi, Thai. Yeah, I knew it when you said you don't like pizza. I like pasta, though. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. I can't stop eating. I'm, like, my fat ass is just going to be munching into the mic the whole time. That's how I get it. If you're at my house, I want you to eat. Right. You know, whether we have Greek food or the Italian, eat, wine, drink, desserts. You like Greek food? I love Greek food. Well, Billy's Greek. Oh. So he owns a lot of Greek restaurants. Oh, I didn't know that. Round two, we got to go to the Greek restaurant. Yeah.

24:10Well, only if you have a steak in it. Yeah. Yeah. So that's his mother's and his dad's and all that went together. Oh, that's all right. They don't care. But I, you know, you never know. But I never really liked Greek food until I met him. Right. When did you guys meet? How'd you guys meet? He stalked me. What? He was persistent. and then um yeah no but then i felt i like a stalker really yeah i like someone i think i'm very shy that like if you have to fucking beat me down and be like i want you i want you then i'm like i fucking love you then i'm a lifetimer yeah then i'm not going kind of similar yeah in terms of relationships like romantic relationships like you need to be like i want you we're doing this or else i'll just be stubborn yes because it's like something i don't know maybe it's my i don't know what it is but he had to lock it down probably probably anxiety anxiety i love how open you are about your anxiety do you think like when you go to bed like are you anxious every night no when i wake up i'm anxious got it nighttime is when you're free i'm so tired i want to watch a show you guys do you hear that rumbling it's getting closer it's getting closer it's here happy prime day everyone prime day is finally here and prime day is now from june 23rd through 26th and strike what you know what they say strike while the iron's hot right okay prime day is the day to shop online so that thing you've been putting off you can be like well i can justify it because it's prime day for example you guys know i've been wanting a new tablet and i've been putting it off, but Prime Day left me no excuses.

25:47And now I have a new tablet to binge watch all my television when I travel or when I'm laying in bed. And it just makes my life so much easier.

I literally damned you being like, I need you in my life. Like, I need to start texting you. Can we start texting? Yes, please. I love to text. Do you play like the Wordle? Who? A Wordle? Never mind. Do you watch TikToks? I'm trying. Are you a real person? I do like voice mel-mel-s. I don't like no technology. I do like voice notes. Okay, okay. That's what I'm good at. Right, right, right. I need to take a bite of this grinder.

27:36Yes, try it. Do I just eat it as is? Yeah, you put it together. and then you just chop at it. Very Italian. Mmm. What the fuck? Yeah, it's so good. You got it, sir? Yes, of course. We have salads. We have desserts. We have a Nutella pizza. Yo. I'm not even... You can tell when I'm lying. Like, this food is fucking insane. It's cute. It's good. This is... Italians made this food. They did. Well, Billy's Greek, so... Well, yeah. But so the part of Greece that he's from is like right next to the part of Italy that I'm from. So it's wild. So it's like a boat ride away. Do you guys ever go? Yes. Yes, to Greece.

28:10Yes, please, God. It's the worst. It's the biggest fight. We broke up about it many times. What? Yeah, he's obsessed. With going on vacation to Greece? He's obsessed. It's like, oh, I have to hear about it every single holiday, every time I'm happy, every time I'm sad, every family event. We have to talk about Greece. Like, what do you – give me an example. Do you know anyone Greek? Wait, I'm like – we actually went to couples therapy about Greece. Wait, give me an example. Give me an example. But we're talking, we're talking, we're talking. Hi. Hi, Billy. You know, I got to go to Greece this summer, right?

28:45Well, Billy, I can't. I'm filming a show. I got to go to Greece. This is what I did all summer long. And my father, my brother, you know, we got to go to Greece. My daughter needs to speak Greek. And my daughter needs to go. It's like all day. It could be Christmas. But in Greece, like it's like Greece. It's like, yes, it is. It's all you do. And then he blasts Greek music, like Greek music in the car. And he smacks the windshield. And he smacks this. And it's just like, that's what Greeks do. And I get mortified. and it's not hot. And you know it, Billy. And my daughter gets so ashamed. She does.

29:16So you don't like Greece? I like it. Like, I'm so happy I got to, like, do it and go. I don't need to go every summer. You're not a vacation person, are you? I love vacation. Oh, you are? I thought you liked staying at home. I love being home, too, though. Okay, sweet. Oh, no, I get FOMO when I'm not home. Okay, I get FOMO, too. You do? Like, all my friends are in Monaco right now. I kind of have FOMO. But, like, you didn't go to Monaco? I went, but then I left. But aren't you happy to go and be like, I want to go home? But you know what? I got to leave and I said, I literally said, I was like, you know what?

29:44Like, trust the higher power. Yeah. And then I went to the Knicks and I saw the biggest comeback in sports history. And it's like, thank you. Yeah. It's literally like, thank you. Because you don't need to be everywhere. You can just be close to home and have that experience. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. What's the best concert you've ever been to? It's Britney, bitch. You saw Britney? Yes. Which tour? When she was doing the circus tour. Oh, you saw. Good. And you know who else is really good? Beyonce. Whoa. That's Beyonce. It's what tour did you see of Beyonce? Halo. Right when Michael Jackson died.

30:14You saw the Sasha Fierce? Oh. No. Right when Michael Jackson died, she sang that song Halo. And I remember just crying my eyes out because she was so beautiful on stage. She was like an angel. Uh-huh. You know? And you can feel things. You know how you might meet your favorite celeb and you might always love them, but then you see them and you're like, you ain't shit. Yes. Or whatever. You don't have that bad. You know what I mean? And then you meet someone that you already thought in there, like just glowing. That's how they both were to me. We were talking about Beyonce on the ride over today.

30:39We said she just glides. She was like an angel. I was like, she is like, I felt it. Like, you know? Yeah. Right. Yeah. Okay, do you want to get into the tell me what's wrongs? Oh, I love a tell me what's wrong. This is where you give advice. Okay, I give you advice? No, you give the pussies advice. Okay, pussies. Let's go. I love it. Let's have another bite of my grinder because it is that good. I'll sip my drink.

31:01Summer is all about spontaneity. and what is more spontaneous than a summer Friday turned into weekend extravaganza. You could go for a simple after work mocktail or cocktail with a friend and it could turn into an entire weekend trip. Chances are you'll be having a Venmo balance this summer because you will either be paying for something, your friend will be paying for something, and you'll need to pay them back and they will need to pay you back. My favorite way to spend whatever Venmo balance I may accrue over the summer is via the Venmo debit card because it is the simplest way for me to spend that balance.

31:34You could also add it to your digital wallet so you could tap to pay. And it really, for me, takes the anxiety out. I find solace in the fact that there doesn't need to be an extra step into getting the money into my bank account because I can already use it on the Venmo debit card. So there isn't like lost money or money like kind of in purgatory. Also, when you use Venmo at checkout or use your Venmo debit card, you can earn always-on cash back with Venmo Stash Rewards. And it all leads back to a summer Friday because a simple outing can either end there or it can go for the entire weekend. But regardless, the chances of you using Venmo are high, whether that be you're the one paying or you're the one paying someone back.

32:11The Venmo MasterCard is issued by the Bancorp Bank N.A. Venmo stash bundle terms and exclusions apply. Max$100 cash back per month. See terms at venmo.me slash stash terms. Venmo checkout not available at all merchants. Thank you again, Venmo, for sponsoring tonight's episode and go enjoy that summer Friday. Thank you, SeatGeek, for sponsoring tonight's episode.

Any burning questions from the Rhode Island fan?

33:56Are you hungry? Well, of course I'm hungry, but I feel like you need to like go to Greece with Angie Kay. So I met her. I feel like she'll change your life about how you feel about Greece. So you don't go to Italy either? I love Italy, but I like a city. Oh, fair. So I like, I love Rome. I love Paris. I love London. But Greece, it's... She's got a lot of Greek haters. I love Greece so much. No, and I do. I just, I'm so happy I went. I feel like we can have a special of you and Angie Kay like going to Greece and her changing her mind. Have you met Angie Kay? I did meet Angie Kay. I met her at the girls' trip, the ultimate girls' trip.

34:32You did ultimate girls' trip? What did I do? Did I do that? I just know what I did. It was like the all cast. The Bravo rep is shaking. Wait, what did I do? Very calm. I think it was. It was like the one that all the girls got together. They were traveling. And so it was like the grand finale. And Angie Kay was there. And I was like, oh, my God. I have to go up to you because you're Greek. And Billy loves being Greek. We hear about it all day long. And do you love Grease? You guys just went. And she was like, I love Grease. And she was beautiful and so nice. Gorgeous, gorgeous. High body count hair.

35:05Not on her. No. Do you watch any other housewife shows? I used to love the old Jersey. I haven't watched a new one. I was obsessed with Jersey. People are saying that you guys are giving old Jersey. That gives me life because that's why I used to watch it. It reminded me of my family. Yeah. My aunt. So I felt like I was like in my kitchen or my dining room table sitting with them. And I also love Utah. Salt Lake. Yeah. Best. For sure. Was Kelsey's boyfriend or her old ex-boyfriend, the one that paid for everything? Like, how did she get him to agree to filming in the house? I heard that maybe that wasn't his house.

35:38So I don't know. Me and her never talked about that. So that's a true story. I swear to God, I've never asked. And I just kind of let her do her thing. Okay. And what's up with Rosie at the news station? She was the best newscast girl. Everyone thought she was so hot. Wait, but so what was it a thing in Rhode Island though at the time like oh Rosie's doing the news? I didn't watch the news then. So that's what you're talking about. I never watched the news Yeah Didn't watch the news. So I didn't know who she was. Is that is that what you mean? Like I thought like was she like the talk of the town that she was the news anchor my yeah But I think with like what she will say for Rosie.

36:14Yeah, my stepdad thought she was beautiful like the older crowd Yes, got it. And then why did she leave the job? She had colitis and she was bleeding through her ass she said which I almost died I said oh my god girl you are so real I'd rather die than say that on TV but that's why I love Rosie but then didn't Kelsey say she lost the job because of an affair that's not true not true that's so not true okay not true no promise that's false and I think that's why Rosie has such a hard time with her okay right because she's like you're making shit why don't they get along what do you think it is alright so I think that Rosie's not originally from Rhode Island and so like we know like the people that are from Rhode Island we know the whole background story of everyone.

36:54Like, I know Kelsey. I know everything about her. So, like, the fact that we didn't know who Rosie was and her background story, and we were just going off of rumors, and I think that's what it was. Mean girl, a little. It was more like a mean girl, but yet she was like, I don't know your background story, and I'm trying to figure you out. Yeah, but you had Rosie's back. But Kelsey's actually sweet. She seems sweet. But to her and Rosie, they aren't sweet together. Like, they're not good together. Was the reunion, did things get nasty? They're just, they're always gonna be like, you know you know but i see kelsey in a different light but rosie's obviously i'm very close to rosie real honest answer what goes through your mind when ashley cries like good feet i don't i i'm i'm like waiting for her i feel like it's like you know it's like oxygen to like breathing it's like okay is it time if she doesn't cry i'm offended if she cries i'm a little offended but if she doesn't cry i'm offended yeah yeah i want her to cry that's who she is oh love that yeah have you been to ashley's restaurant yes well You went for trivia night.

37:50That I know. Right. But did you eat there? It's good. It's great. Billy loves it. Yeah. Billy? Yeah. Yeah. He loves it. It's cute. It's a vibe. Okay. As a restaurant owner, you think it's going to stay open? Yeah. I think so. Oh, yeah. I think especially now. Right. Right. Especially now. Like, he's vested. What is in this wine? Oh, I finished the thing. Let's have more. That's what's going on. We have a pour. A re-pour. A re-pour. Right away. A re-pour. Fuck me. But the only way out is through, huh? I know. That's why you got to keep going. Oh, my God. I'm obsessed with you. I'm sick. Keep going.

38:20I always quote the hair of a dragon, but I guess it was the hair of a dog. And this summer is like giving. Oh, thank you, Billy. Do you guys want pizza? Yes, they do. They're starving. All right. Everyone's starving. Let's eat. Let's eat. Pizza for everyone. We love food. I can just tell that you have such a good soul. I do. No, I'm very real, but I 1 ,000 % do. You do. You have so much love to give, and it's such a joy to see on my television. So I feel like I've been through a lot. Yeah. And I also, animals love me. Babies love me. And I was a hairstylist my whole life. I've talked to women and men about their problems.

39:00Right, okay. So I just, like, I empathize with people. Like, I feel things. Some people can just, like, move on. I feel, like, people's energy. You're an empath. Yeah. And I understand it, and that's why I was, like, a flip-flop at the beginning. Because, like, I don't want to judge people. I didn't think you were a flip-flop. I actually didn't think you were a flip-flop. I thought you were just trying to see every side. Thank you. Yeah. No, but I really did. I was like, Joellen, flip-flop. She is. She's the one that gave me the name. Love Joellen, Jo Mellon. Love her. Love her down. But she is a flip-flop.

39:30But you, to be a flip-flop, you have to be calculated. I'm not. And you're just genuinely trying to understand everyone's POV. I wish I was more calculated to be on the show. I have no time. I'm 80 day. I can't even do homework. I can't balance a schedule. What homework? I just like can't do any. Like I have homework. Like if I like for the way for the business of this. But I wish I envy that about Joellen. Wait, what? Like what would like homework? Like what would homework look like? Like for like just like certain things. Like we have to do this. We have to do this. Like I don't like homework.

39:59I don't even like my daughter's homework. I get overwhelmed when she comes home. Does she ask you for help? I'm not good. So she goes to him now. Do you help? Yeah, I don't do the homework no more. I'm not good at it. So. Right. Not my thing. Does she like school, Selena? loves loves she's my daughter she's social what was high school like for you in Rhode Island what was it like like would you go to Friday night football games like so you're gonna skeeve me but I'm gonna be honest with you I was very popular no I really was like were you had queen bee I was just like but like in a genuine way I was friends with everybody I wasn't just friends with the popular girls I was friends with like everybody I loved all groups but I was like I would have to hide So, like, if I went to the market.

40:45And I also have a very big family in Rhode Island. Right, right. So in high school, like, I couldn't smoke a cigarette, put it this way, because I would get caught. I couldn't cut classes. I would get caught. Everyone was always trying to protect me. So you've always been famous. Like, when I was young. Billy, what happens when I hide from people? Tell them. I hide. What do you mean you hide? Like, so, like, we'd be at Garden City. I'd be like, oh, God. And I love people, but I also, you need your downtime. You need your downtime. So, yeah, like people, yeah. When did the doll obsession begin?

41:16I've always loved dolls. Uh-huh. When I, if a doll's hair was out of place, I would smash it and throw it as a kid. I think I had OCD, but no one knew about it. Oh, I have OCD. I think I do too. How does it manifest for you? Not well. Not well, bitch. No, it's bad. And it's the point where, like, I don't let my daughter play with her dolls as much upstairs. But now she is, I'm getting better. My house, my blanket. Like today when I told you my daughter came here and she did never hear. Like I have, I like things, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know.

I told her I'd be on my honeymoon and wouldn't be able to go to her wedding. And she said, yeah. Like, I don't give a fuck vibes. What should I do? I'm really sad about it, but don't want to seem selfish for being upset.

42:32Okay, so it's a week away. She told her about it. And is she more mad that her friends are more like, no, I don't give a fuck? Yeah, that's what she's upset about.

I know, but that's why it's a good team. I thought this was crazy. People love it. Yeah, and it's this big. Good food, good people. That's all that matters. It was small. This was supposed to be a quick thing, get it up and running. it was a little different than what we usually do. And we were, I was just going to sell it. Like it was going to be a quick flipper. And she didn't like the name. So business. We're so not alike.

45:11Yeah, no, but that's right. Why? You can't be so alike. Or else that's not, I know. But see, your story is like a history teacher. I feel like it's like very history. She makes me laugh. Yeah.

46:26I feel now I'm like, is he? I don't know. Billy? That's where I was going. Billy. Is Shakespeare a poet or is he just a storyteller? Yeah, you're right. I knew you were right. I knew you were right. All right, we don't need to get into the details. It's a quick quest. My boyfriend will not stop sending me Instagram reels. Like one out of the 20 of them are funny or interesting and it's becoming an ick that he's scrolling so much. I think he may be a little down in the dumps though so I don't want to pile this on top. How do I be gentle about it or should I just ignore it? I would ignore it. Billy does it to me all the time.

47:02I just, I actually feel bad when Billy does it. I'm like, oh, he must miss me. He's, maybe it's like a card that he should have sent me or, yeah, no. I just, I just, I don't even answer them. I put them on silent. You have Billy on, you have him on silent. Yeah, what is it, Cole, and you just. Do not disturb. Yeah. I get it. Yeah, I don't answer them. He sends me a thousand. So I get you, girl. Does your daughter have a cell phone? No. Good. iPad. Good, okay. On restriction. Good. I didn't have a cell phone until I was 12, 13. And I needed it to go and do stuff. I don't believe in it too young.

It's a drug for me. It's a drug for me. Yeah. When I do a post and I get likes, I'm literally like, it feels like I just worked out. Isn't that crazy? It's a literal drug. I feel like we're the guinea pigs for that experience. You know what I mean? I miss, I miss like other stuff, you know, like I, I hate that I go through my phone. I didn't know how to use my phone before. I started for the show, by the way. I didn't even know, I didn't even know how to use Instagram.

48:04I didn't know how to take a picture, nothing. Well, now you have Owen. But now I'm, yes, now I have Owen that helps me so much. But I hate that I rely on people. Like, did I look good to see on Instagram? But you always look good. You know? You always look good. But it's still hot. It's like, I never relied on that. Do you feel like, is it weird perceiving yourself? Like watch, perceive you? Is that weird? It's weird because it's like I don't ever want to stop talking about crackers. That's who I am. I eat them all the time. You know? But people love that. People responded well. But now I'm like I think that people are going to be like oh she's a stop talking about a cracker but I don't realize I'm talking about it.

48:36It's just my nervous it helps me. It's like instead of doing drugs I do crackers. Right. You know? Would you ever just like not read the comments? Do you not read or do you just log off? I've been getting better. I think you just need to log off and be you. Yeah. And then good things will come. Yeah. Because you are her. Yeah. I don't want to read the comments anymore. They take my phone. I almost fistful. I tackled her this week. Good friends, by the way. Good friends. I literally tackled her. I was like, no, show me what she said about me. And she was like, get my phone. I'm lucky you have them.

49:09I have Amani here. She calls me and she's like, did you see what they said about you? Yeah, no, but guess what? Sometimes it's like, you know, ignorance is bliss. And I've lived that way my whole life. So I think it is, if I want to stay the same, I think I have to like block out the noise. Right, right, right. I'm in law school and hate all of my peers. They're snobby, preppy, know-it-all assholes who dress bad and are probably going to be sleazy lawyers. It sounds whatever, but it's genuinely making me rethink my career path and want to drop out. I want to do good things with this life, so how do I not let them win?

49:38Oh, my God, girl. Like, who cares who they are? Be you, shine, and your light will be so bright. Let them lose. Let them be the sleazy lawyers that they are, and you do you. Stay true to who you are. Done. And people will love that. You give really good advice. I don't. Do you think so? I think you do. Well, I was a hairstylist. I did it for years. FYI. Oh, what's the craziest story you heard when you were a hairstylist? I've heard them all. What's the craziest one? Dang. You don't even know. They have who slept with whose husband. They were switching and swapping, and they both didn't think that they knew it, but I knew about it because they knew, but they weren't.

50:09It was a nightmare. No, it was a lot. I've always heard stories, and that's why I loved my job, because I loved listening to people. When did you stop being a hairstylist? Like, maybe two months before the show. started yeah would you ever go back or you have time no i'm done been there done that i did it since i was like 16 so but now kelsey is hairstylist yes is she booking clients i don't know i don't know she i don't she's i think she might do weddings but she's not like a i don't know is her ex still paying for everything i don't i don't think so i hope i don't know did you know her boyfriend um i ran into him a few times was he hot yeah he was like a good looking like he was a catch back in the day for sure oh like did you go to high school with him no no okay he was just like you know i just think that um when you have that much money you have like a aura to you oh i kind of agree yeah and that's what he had you know it's like big dick energy yes bde bd bd my partner is an actor and just landed a role in something the issue is while i'm super happy for him because of how competitive it is out there he told me there are multiple sex scenes.

51:16He plays like the fuck boy. I'm sure it's all professional and good and I haven't said anything about it, but it does genuinely bother me. And we've never talked about that or really thought about it, but now I'm uncomfortable. I want to support him and I will, but how do I get over this in the meantime? Go out with your friends and take hot pictures with all different single people. I kind of agree. It's like, that's his job too. Yeah. Like you knew he's an actor, like you knew what you were signing up for, but that is tricky. I want to kill Billy, but I would be out every night of the week and my best outfits working out, taking care of myself.

51:44So no bitch can compete. Oh, I haven't been able to work out in weeks because my wrist hurts so bad. What happened to your wrist? Tentinitis. Oh, why? How? I was doing pull-ups. Oh, no. I can do 12 in a row. You're so cute. I love you. I couldn't even do one. I couldn't do one, and then you start doing them, and you start doing it with a resistance band, and then you just work your way up, and you get there. But my wrist, look how swollen. You gotta wrap it. I know. I've been wrapping it. I got acupuncture. I fell asleep at the acupuncturist. I fell asleep. There was, like, a heater over me. It was burning my head.

52:11The whole thing knocked over. Oh, no. Wow. Yeah. Are you kidding? I swear. And he gave me like a little button to press for help. And the button fell out when I fell asleep. So I was screaming, help, help, help. That place is scary. No, I mean, he clearly knew what he was doing. He put the last needle in and I was out. Okay, good. No, oh my God, I'm going back tomorrow. I'm kind of hooked. All right, good. There you go. See, I love it. It's a party. Yeah, we'll go together. The next time you're in New York, you'll love it. Yeah. I have a really hard time becoming friends with my other friends' friends, if that makes sense.

52:39So like, yeah, I get that. I get it. Like, I have my group, and when we party, they introduce me to all these people, and I swear I turn into a brick wall. Like, honestly, I just don't care, and I'm worried they think I'm rude for it. Do you think there's a balance between pleasant and honest, or do I just need to be fake? Fake it until you make it, have a drink, loosen up, and don't think about it too much. Because when you think about it too much, you turn into a stone wall. Just have fun. Right. Vibes. You might have something in common, you know? Just start to drink. Have a drink. Like, a half a—even if you don't drink, have, like, a few sips.

53:08Everyone's friends after a few sips. That is very true. You know what I mean? When did you first start? Like, how old were you when you had your first drink? I think I was, like, 16, 17. You know, I was, like, a very good girl. And I had, like, a few, like, sips and I was wasted. I'm still, like, very much of a lightweight. Right, okay. Got it. Which I love. I mean, it's the best thing in the entire world. But I get hangovers very easily. Do lightweights get hangovers more than heavyweights? Yes. Okay. Because it sucks. When people can like drink all night and then go out and work out the next day when I'm in bed.

53:41And they had 10 drinks. I had two. And I'm like in bed. Like that pisses me off. Yeah. What's your hangover result like? Oh, I'm terrible. I do the eye patches. Billy. Billy. You know. Billy. I can't get it. But yeah, Billy. Billy. Peppermint oil. Tylenol. Liquid IV. And TB. Do you ever get an IV? Or do you not like needles? Oh, I love an IV. I love an IV. We are so similar. I love an IV. But I wish they came to my house when I had a hangover. I'm not driving. They can come to your house. I don't have a place that comes to my house yet. This is prime opportunity for any IV person to go to Alicia's house and give her an IV.

54:13Please. And I also get tired all the time of a fragile flower. Yes. My energy. Please help her. Yes. Help me. She can't drive. I'm tired. I'm fragile. I get weak. Seriously. My roommates got a second cat without asking me. I was already generous with the first one. And they're like a couple. so my friend's boyfriend already had one when he moved in. But they came home the other day saying they found it on the street and decided to help it. Very sweet of them, but they got attached and want to keep it. I'm going to kill myself. Please, what should I do? Oh, my God. See, I love animals. Wrong question.

54:46Just, you know, you might, like, play with a cat. Catter. What's your favorite animal? I love a dog. I love a pig. I love a horse. I love a fig. I love a fig. I just made that up on Cameo just now. That's what just happened. Yeah. Wait, did you do that on purpose just now? or did? No, I literally love a dog. I love a cameo, but you know, I love all animals. You know, your cameo sounds have gone viral. I had to get off. Why? Which I'm so sad about. Why? Bravo said enough. No, it was just like getting to, I felt like I was trying to please everybody and I couldn't get them all out and it was taking up too much of my day and I was getting headaches so I was like, I need a break.

55:20You know what you do? You bring them back for like one day and one day only during Christmas, the holiday season when people are feeling sad. But I love them. I feel like it helps me. So why don't you just do, Owen, can you help her get back on Cameo? Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, it was too much, though. I was, like, wasting my day looking at my phone. You need to have someone make the Cameo, put the phone away, watch TV. Yes, yes, yeah. So, one a day, maybe. One a day. One a week. So, I've been completely in love with one of my closest friends for a while, and she is giving such mixed signals. She's always dating or talking to some random guy, but she keeps telling me that she would much rather be dating a girl.

55:55She drunkenly pulled me aside at a bar to kiss me one night, but claims it was just silly fun. She's actually so evil. How do I move forward to something better? Go make out with another girl right in front of her and see how jealous she gets. If she doesn't get jealous, she doesn't give a shit. Yeah. Hello, right? Yeah. You give great advice. Oh, because I've been there, done that with this all. Yeah, right. By the way. I've been really annoyed lately when people tell me I'm a really nice person. Growing up, I always thought it was a compliment, and I wanted to be known that way. But recently, as I navigate the back half of my 20s, I'm realizing I just might be coming across as a pushover, and I have no backbone.

56:28I will always be a good friend and person to the people I love, but I don't want to be a doormat. What's your advice to change my narrative? First of all, there's nothing wrong with being nice. That's what I think, too. You know what I mean? And if people have a problem with that, that's their problem. Let them go hang out with all the devils and the assholes and then see where they're going to always want to go back to the nice person. Right. So they didn't live enough. Exactly. Tell them they didn't live enough. Is Dolores going to be filming more next season or no? I don't know. I hope so. I do like her.

56:55I do. How long have you known Dolores? I only met her when she set a film with us. Okay. But I watched the show, and she was always one of my favorite housewives. Yeah, yeah. She was on New Jersey, right? Yes, and I love Jersey. Yeah. I was a big Salt Lake, Beverly Hills, and I just kind of got through a few seasons of New York. Yeah. I never watched New York. I need to. It's great. Yeah. Scary Island is great. But it's just, I think, at the time, do you know what I'm talking about, Scary Island? No. Okay. So they all went on a girls' trip, like Bethany Frankel and them, and Kelly Ben-Symon, and went to psychosis.

57:29Oh, really? Yeah, like... Really? Yeah. All right, I gotta watch this. Scary Island? Yeah, but it's like, for now, that's an episode of Rhode Island, you know? Yeah, yeah. But now it's like, at the time, it was so major. Right. Am I explaining this right? Yeah. I need to watch Scary Island. Did you ever watch Bad Girls Club? No. America's Next Top Model? No. A little bit, I watched it. Okay, okay. Those were my reality shows back in the day. For you. Okay. Car troubles follow me like a damn shadow. I cannot catch a break where it's almost like every other month something is wrong with my car. I'm convinced that I have like actual voodoo bad luck.

58:05I know you can't help with that. But what are ways I can keep my cool? I always lose it every time something like this happens. And I'm tired. Oh, my God, girl. I feel you. Girl, oh, boy. I feel you. I get it. Especially with your car. You're like, I'm so tired. It's so much money. It's like a money pit. You want to know what? Just keep going. It'll come back and move on. Just like let it go. What do you mean? Just keep going. Let the car fucking run itself into the ground. Yeah. So push it down. Push it down and let it keep going. Until it all explodes. Something's going to come good out of it.

58:35You know? There'll be a good part of it. Has that ever happened where you push something down and then something good happened? Yes. It's crazy. That's why I said that. Like what? Just like so many accidents and this and that. And then all of a sudden it's like a good thing happens. And you're like, you know what? This is why I went through hell. It's wild. I know it's crazy, but like literally it happens. It happens. I love the way you live life. I'm trying to live. You're living. I'm living. Have you ever been to Vegas? Yes. I would love to go to Vegas with you. I love Vegas. How long can you stay there though?

59:06Three days, four days. I love to shop and I like the shows, you know. Uh-huh. I love a nightclub. I love to shop. Yes. Shopping's the best. Retail therapy is real. That's real. It's real. That's really healing. That's real to me. Me too. Yeah. It is. Hey Jake, this girl that lives in the door across from Mars keeps asking to get ready and go to parties and events with me and my best friend. We are barely friends with her, but I feel so bad saying no. It honestly impacts our environment every time because it's awkward and we have to make a lot of conversation. So you're meeting a new person. How do we solve this without being mean to her?

59:35You don't. Just hang out with the girl. Just like go leave the room and never let her see you. I would take off. Oh, you wouldn't hang out with her? Oh, was she like... They're like, I feel bad. This girl clearly doesn't have many friends. Oh, just go. Go for an hour and then take off so you go to the bathroom. You don't feel good, but go. Yeah, right? Like it probably makes her day or her night. Yeah, go. Go. Yes. My boyfriend was blacked out on a night out and literally got arrested for assaulting an officer. This is so incredibly out of character for him as he pretty much never drinks. He handled it well and paid his own bail.

1:00:04Good. Well, I'm glad. We've been together almost a year. Is this a red flag or a one-off incident? Oh, I mean, I would consider it a red flag, but give him another try. You never know. Red flag, though. To an assault an officer, what do you think? That's a big deal. Probably, probably. But maybe he was just drunk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just keep the alcohol away from him. Yeah, maybe he's bad with alcohol. Yeah. Well, Alicia, what did we learn today? I learned so much about different people, but I also learned that you've never had a grinder. You didn't know what a grinder was. You got to have a pizza chip.

1:00:37I'm about to house this the second we're done. And I think you're so incredible, and I'm so happy that you love The Housewives of Rhode Island. It is the best show on television. If you haven't seen it, watch it. I won't watch it, so that's why. Right, right. Good for you. You shouldn't. Well, you probably actually should. Yeah. Right? Because for the reunion, don't you have to like prep? Yes. Yeah. I had to do that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You sat right next to Andy though, I saw. I did. I like Andy a lot. I love Andy. Yeah. He's awesome. I was like so nervous when I first met him. I was like, oh my God.

1:01:07Like I was like starstruck. And then I was like, he's so nice. Yeah. I loved him. Yeah. He's awesome. Yeah. Bye pussies. I love you all. Thank you for being a pussy.

1:01:28I have to call someone. I have to call Manny. Who's Manny? FaceTime Manny. Is this about me? Is this about me? Hi! Where are you? Why aren't you here? Why aren't you here? Hi! We have pizza chips. My grandma is visiting. I'm literally on my way to go get her lunch. Oh my God, you're so cute. I love that you love your grandma. You're so cute. I love my grandma. but I also love you. I'll meet you one time. We have to meet. And I'm so sad. No. I love her dog besides you. What kind of dog? Oh, why are you talking to my dog? Because I love dogs. No, you don't know what I am like with dogs. I'll go to Bible Dye.

1:02:08What kind of dog? I'm so sorry. It's okay. It was a Chihuahua Italian Greyhound mix. That's my dog, Wolfie. Why are you doing this? Billy, a Chihuahua. That's my dog. I am so sorry. I live for that dog. Don't do this to me. Wolfie. What was your dog's name? I'm so sorry. How old? He was 15. Oh, 15's a good age though. I have failed hope. Okay. He was 16. Oh, 16. So we lived a good life. Okay, Manny, well, we love you. Manny, we love you. Sorry about that dog. I love you both. Love you, Manny. I miss you. Thank you so much. Bye.
