2:25Ronnie Karam: Let's do it. Season 1, Episode 2, Ocean State of Affairs. So, we start with Liz and her husband visiting Jerry's parents, Judy and Jerry Sr., because they're going to have dinner with their kids, because we've got to meet daughter Brianna's baby daddy, the parents of that guy. Oh, yeah. So, Brianna got knocked up, and now we're going to meet the new family. Yeah, exactly.

2:56Ben Mandelker: So yeah, I like this show They're like, you know what, we got a new Real Housewives Let's take some inspiration from some of the classics Do we have a daughter named Brianna Who is in a relationship that may not be good For the rest of her life Okay, Zach, okay great, get them on here So Liz is like Jerry and I have been married for 11 years And I think Jerry's a perfect culmination Of both of his parents They're fabulous people I couldn't love them anymore And my stepdaughter Brianna's life has been a war wind Ok, she met this guy And before you knew it, she was pregnant It was pretty quick It was only a couple of months Jerry, she told him and he almost passed out

3:37Ronnie Karam: So, she's only met Jerry Four or five times He's got gorgeous teeth So that's all you can ask for sometimes So, Liz is like Ok, what are you going to ask them When they get here And Judy's like My granddaughter is pregnant What should I say? ¿Qué te vas a decir? ¿Qué te vas a decir? ¿Qué te vas a decir? ¿Qué te vas a decir? ¿Qué te vas a decir? ¿Qué te vas a decir? Pues, bueno, let me fuel them out. So, Brianna and Zach show up and Liz tells us, Jerry's daughters mean the world to me. Even though I didn't give birth to them, I feel like a part of my blood cost a stool-dom. And when Jerry and I first met, the girls were really little and ended up with us full-time.

4:15And it was a time that was like more appropriate for them to be with us and not their biological mother. So, I definitely did not expect that full-time mom que fue primero, ¿ok? Sí, antes de eso, yo podía wake up, yo podía drink, yo podía hacer lo que quería, pero yo decidí, yo decidí mi tiempo. Es un cambio. Yo siempre quería hijos de mi propio. Yo nunca pensaba que sucediera pero Jerry's girls realmente fulfilled

4:43Ronnie Karam: el need para mí. Así que los padres show up y, y, you know, es como, ¿hugs, ¿hugs?

4:50Ben Mandelker: ¿Cómo estás?

4:52Ronnie Karam: ¿Qué? ¿Qué? ¿Qué? ¿Qué? ¿Qué? What, that's my favorite meal? You got some rigatoni? I love rigatoni too, this is crazy. Oh, you found a bunch of people who love rigatoni, so it's all going to work out. This is my first gran baby. It's like a new chapter, it's a new life. Anytime life comes in, it's nothing but joy, but you know what, I don't want to be called, I'm certainly not grandma, or anything grand, or nan, or nan, or nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan. I like Gigi, give me a Gigi. that's like a double grandma being called gt it's g and great grandmother grandma grandma yeah it's like great grandma it's double it's double the offense i think so then we go over to joellen and ashley who are taking their kids to the park oh my gosh man a new show when people are still youngish and have young kids at home is crazy isn't it these four kids this scene was cracking me up because it's these two ladies trying to have a conversation with snot nosed brats running everywhere they have to pay attention to these babies y están tratando de un escenario y el bebé es como con una mano, la mano de la mano y la mano de la mano, la mano de la mano y la mano de la mano, la mano de la mano con la mano de la mano

6:02Ben Mandelker: El imágenes de Ashley y listosmente shoving her child en la swing como, oh, I am stuck This is my life This is the metaphor I'm trying to push this away from me, and it comes swinging back into my face

6:19Ronnie Karam: um but also they showed a scene about like a clip of that baby so they put them in this bucket seat on the swing and the baby is just like stiff as a board over like oh the baby is like what is this

6:34Ben Mandelker: sweet life that was my favorite shot that they threw in there that shot was amazing so so ashley

6:40Ronnie Karam: telling us you know i was really surprised when i got like invited by joellen because everyone's She's actually such a bitch, but she's actually very nice to me, so I don't know.

6:52Ben Mandelker: Yeah, I mean, there are rumors around the state that she could be quite a bitch, but she's really friendly, and she's not scared of a fight, but I don't want to be on Joellen's bad side. Are they contractually obligated to make sure anytime that you say that there's a rumor that you have to say that it's a rumor around the state of Rhode Island? Because every time they mention rumors, they're like, word is going around the state that this person sucks. I'm like, I'm pretty sure it's not really going around The whole state but I feel like they are like Encouraged to add that

7:22Ronnie Karam: To be fair

7:23Ben Mandelker: It's a tiny state but I feel like they're also Bravo's encouraging them to say the state Establish Rhode Island as a place for people in America Who are like where are they anyway Because like the amount of times they mention They contextualize everything within The state of Rhode Island is like kind of crazy

7:39Ronnie Karam: Yeah So they're talking about the Fourth of July party she goes even Jared Had a good time you know like he's not really big into social events but even he had a good time she's like yeah thank you I'm so glad you had fun you know you know cause your first impression of me was at Rosie's picnic and that wasn't great and she's like I don't care I've been on The Bachelor I was amazed

8:04Ben Mandelker: I was about to say this lady's been on Riyadh TV I'm sure she doesn't really care well I did tell Kelsey at the 4th of July party about the picnic and how Rosie and Alicia were Questioning her relationship And that was kind of what was bothering me a bit about Rosie She goes well I feel like you guys Will just be fine No I just need to exist around her She goes well why don't you guys just start completely clean She goes well that's the plan right now I'm just trying to turn over a new page

8:30Ronnie Karam: And she tells us Yeah you know like my personalities With that girl they don't mesh You know Rosie like I think there's like There's similarities sure like we both like Aesthetic treatments so there's that And we're both brunettes so you know she's photogenic i'm photogenic there was a bitchy joellen line did you hear joellen's a bitch the whole state says it so joellen's like how's the business doing rumors around the state

8:58Ben Mandelker: are that it's doing nicely huh and then we see a shot of jared uh at work and he's like the ice machine is broken again god damn it i can help honey sorry what was that order up for kathy así es como es constantemente stress

9:13Ronnie Karam: I wanted to support his dream but I had no idea it would be that hard you know he's feeling like he's failing and then he gets sunshine any days and he's always telling me honey it's not you it's not the kids I just hate my life I mean sure you're in the life the kids are in the life but it's not because you're in the life it's just because you're in my life and I'm miserable do you understand I don't understand why am I crying and meanwhile she's pushing a baby a baby's running around just not flying everywhere I was dying laughing

9:41Ben Mandelker: He tells me all the time Like whenever I'm moody and dark It's not about you It's never about you And then he says something like Cold brew ready for Susan And I'm like there is no Susan We're at home He goes I know I just like to pretend I'm at the shop sometimes I thought he had sleep apnea Because he kept waking me up In the middle of the night Going But he wasn't dying He was just steaming in his sleep He says something about like ¿Cómo cuando lo 리 en casa ,まず dicen que hay un latifoamer y le contaron mal as coalição y você es lo soldado

10:23Ronnie Karam: be alone for five hours like this and she like points to the kids because this is such a man thing too it's like you're raising the kids you're the one stuck at home with these fucking and then your hot husband who got himself a coffee bar to work at all day comes home and is like i'm depressed they hate my life yeah well everybody fucking hates their life it doesn't give you the right to just be a fucking lump of coal wake the fuck up yeah you're not the only person you think I think that I'm married. My God, I got so bad. It's true.

10:55Ben Mandelker: But it's also like she's all day and she's actually taking care of kids. I think the kids thing is harder.

11:00Ronnie Karam: Yeah, it's hard. And we see it in action and it looks like bloody hell. And we're only subjected to five minutes of it. And it looks so hard. And then he's like, I'm depressed. We'll get the fuck over it. Okay. I cleaned a shitty diaper like 20 times today. Like someone peed in my face today. Okay, Jared. Pero la cosa aquí con Ashley Es que si vienes a ver el Bachelor en Paradise Y ve visto este relación Este es como Jared es He es miserable, siempre skulking around He es siempre depressed No marry depressed people Y esto no es un tema de la general Sinceramente contra la depresión Estoy diciendo que no marry a sad sack Y entonces preguntar por qué Porque tu marido a sad sack ¿Qué quieres?

12:20Ronnie Karam: so yeah they leave and she's like oh gosh you know like Ashley like what a nice girl but Joana's face looks like do not ever make me shoot with that woman again Jesus

12:31Ben Mandelker: so now Liz and Kelsey go to Providence and they're talking about it oh hi by the way shout out hi everyone everyone out there just realized

12:44Ronnie Karam: I published this incorrectly and so now we're doing a live It's a live show everyone

13:00Ronnie Karam: So So Kelsey and her getting a drink you know and she goes do you want a drink Liz and Liz is like does a dog have an ass

13:11Ben Mandelker: Just a bear shit in the woods So they order their drinks And everything and then like This is funny because I feel like This probably happens a lot but for whatever reason This server hit the Bravo Lottery someone comes by and is like Caesar salad like nah I didn't order Caesar salad nah we didn't order Caesar salad And the guy's like My livelihood being shown on national TV I was like this poor waiter Gets roasted On Bravo for bringing Caesar salad to the wrong table.

21:40Ronnie Karam: I also like how on this show they don't just cross out or block out the person's face they literally rip it from the photo they're dead it's like revenge they're all dead so um she's like uh yeah joellen had some photos that was posted of brian and that cockroach she smiles she's like at first i thought joellen was trying to be supportive and help me because we're girls you know but then it turns out she shared the pictures with the whole group and was running a mouth around town and that was not okay with me Yeah, then maybe your husband shouldn't be fucking around and you shouldn't be calling the woman who's fucking him a cockroach.

22:16Ronnie Karam: What's wrong with you? Your husband's a cheater.

22:19Ben Mandelker: Yeah, Rilla is definitely like of the type where she's going to lash out at all the other women in this situation instead of the guy who is the active party and the one that's closest to you, who is the one that you should be kicking to the curb.

22:30Ronnie Karam: Girl, your husband is fucking around and posting pictures of the girl on Instagram. You best bet I'm going to be bringing it to lunch to show the girls. Of course. Yeah.

22:40Ben Mandelker: So Kelsey's like, well, that photo of Brian and that lady, you know, she's a hoe, not a lady. Oh, okay. Well, he posted that in the wintertime. And from what I understand, she had a summer outfit on. So you think this has been going on for a long time?

22:55Ronnie Karam: Kelsey. I love Kelsey's detective work. And she goes, it was last summer. She goes, but what about now? Well, nothing's been happening. That's been done. This is not still ongoing. This has not been ongoing. Show me that it's ongoing She goes okay so if it's soft Then that's the end of it right What are you insinuating the truth is Because there's a lot of talk about My husband's involved or he's still And she goes but he is ba He is ma He is ma But he is ma He is ma He is ma He is ma He's still out there ma Come on ma Pero él es So Liz es Es muy bien Que Brian está haciendo su cosa Con esta mujer Si Rola tries Not a acknowledge What's really going on Y living in that kind of land of delusion I'm sorry Elizabeth is allergic To that bullshit I'm Elizabeth For people who don't know Me Liz is short for Elizabeth A common nickname in Rhode Island Everyone in the state knows Elizabeth means Liz You gotta stop with the prideful thing Ma, you're stupid proud I mean, like it doesn't benefit you We've all been going through it She's like, I know, I know you all You shared with me, you know Like the stuff with you, Rula The stuff with you and Jerry that you shared with me You didn't kick Jerry to the curb You took time, you processed, you thought about it And look at you guys, look how many years You've been together I mean, what are you, first sister and brother?

24:30Ronnie Karam: It's been a long time It's been a very long time

24:35Ben Mandelker: So Rilla's like Liz has shared with me her issues And Jerry and the misunderstandings and indiscretions And she's done her thing And he's done his thing And he'd be away on a fishing excursion or whatever And they'd say well you know When the cat's away the mice shall play And I'll leave it at that Because everyone in Rhode Island knows what cats and mice do Right?

24:54Ronnie Karam: They fuck The cats and the mice They fuck the second they're gone

24:59Ben Mandelker: People think they're eating but they do eat If you know what I'm saying

25:03Ronnie Karam: I love that Rula's like, oh really, you're going to bring up my affair? Let's talk about your affairs. So she goes, well, Liz says, well, listen, you know, look, I'm willing to say this is going on because you have kids, you know. And she goes, well, that's what it is too. Because when you produce the kids with somebody, like you actually get a penis in there, spermatozoa comes out, hits an egg, and the baby is made. That's a game changer. Because, you know, Jerry has kids, but you don't have your own kids, you know. So you know what I'm saying, right? She goes, oh yeah, right, right. When you produce them with someone, not when you bring them up for when they're fucking three because they don't have a mother to do it.

25:41But all right, continue, Rula. Continue, continue. Continue down there.

25:45Ben Mandelker: No disrespect. It's, you know, I would never want to disrespect someone who's never produced their own children. So no disrespect whatsoever. You don't know what it's like to have a baby crowning through your vagina. So no disrespect. No disrespect whatsoever. Ok, ok, ok, thanks a lot Willa, thanks a lot No, I did not have my own kids But you have no idea what I've done in my life Bringing up kids, maybe not producing them But I brought them up, ok Oh, sorry they didn't come out from here Sorry, sorry that my Rhode Island didn't come out of my United States If you know what I'm saying Sorry, I lost the metaphor on that one But you know what I'm saying, sorry So you say to me, when you produce a kiss, take it back.

26:31You don't take it back. You take it back right now.

26:33Ronnie Karam: She says, I apologize. I care for you. I care about your comfort, which is why I'm offering you a four-inch thick futon for 30 % off. Listen, I didn't mean it that way. And you know I didn't. But I swear to you, my husband, we've been in a great place. I would just like everybody to respect that. Spermatozoa has touched my egg. Please.

26:54Ben Mandelker: There's a lot of fake out there. Bueno, hi, es mi, Kelsey. I'm still in the scene. I know I feel that way. I've been in the exact same position as you. I get it. Believe me. Because I can sympathize with Rula in this situation. Joellen's Fourth of July party, like everyone, had questions. Rumors in Rhode Island are like wildfire. Whether they're true or not, they spread. So next time you see an untrue wildfire, just know it's spreading whether you like it or not.

27:24Ronnie Karam: I like that she makes it all about yourself It's not the same as you Her husband, which she has children with Is cheating on her You're dating a guy who's openly fucking other people It's not the same thing, Kelsey Oh my gosh Liz is like, what other people think I'm loving It's none of my business It's none of my business She goes, yeah baby, bring it, watch out So now Kelsey's boyfriend We go to Kelsey's boyfriend's mansion and she's there with her housekeeper Christina and she's like ok you gotta open the wine for us you know how to use this electric wine opener she's like no she goes like this you put it on top of the thing you press a button she's like ok fine whatever so I guess I like that she acts like Christina does everything for her but she doesn't know how to open a bottle of wine come on where'd you get Christina did you just pick Christina up off the street

28:18Ben Mandelker: yeah so Alicia comes over Bueno, I like Alicia is also surprised to see Christina because Alicia rings the doorbell and Christina, well, first of all, Christina and Alicia, I'm sorry, Christina and Kelsey are standing together in the kitchen. There's a, the doorbell rings and Kelsey's like, there's someone at the door which I'm like, oh, you fucking bitch. You can't even open your own door for your own guest. So Christina goes up the door.

28:40Ronnie Karam: Christina kind of stands there and she goes, go Christina. Like, go get it. She's like, oh, okay.

28:45Ben Mandelker: So then Alicia, she's greeted and Alicia just stares at, Christina goes, Oh, hello. Y stares her like, am I at the right house? Like, what? I don't understand what happened here. I drove all the way over here. I don't even like to drive. So then Kelsey comes over. She's like, oh, hi. Oh, God. So, yeah, sorry. I brought crackers. I brought crackers, but I didn't bring cheese. The line was too long for the cheese. I was like,

29:11Ronnie Karam: what the fuck were you with? The cracker line. Oh, if you only have crackers in your basket, we can take you over on aisle six. pero la gente está en la calle. No, no, no, no. Es un lugar, mamá. Es un lugar de lado. Es un lugar de lado. En Rhode Island, that es como lo que hacemos. Oh, my gosh. Así que, sí, yo me he metido en la calle, so I bought crackers. I love crackers, pero la línea es tan solo para la cheese. I said, whatever, she'll figure it out. You got cheese? You no got cheese. OK, you no figured it out. OK, I believed en you, pero, you know, that was wrong. So.

29:42Ben Mandelker: So, Kelsey's like, well, I know you're always good for a good cracker. It's like, si eres de Rhode Island, born and bred you eres un diferente persona en tu breed Alicia es so Rhode Island I thought Kelsey was about to say si eres de Rhode Island, una cosa que te gusta son crackers pero thankfully she didn't porque este es el primer time ever on reality TV que crackers han sido so much love normalmente es como, oh my god I have to have my coffee or there's usually some random food that someone tries to make their personality and this is the first time we've seen someone say I gotta have a cracker I gotta have a cracker I love a cracker, gotta have it So she's like, so you know I came here a long time ago, right?

30:24Yeah, yeah, I've been to this house Yeah, like 10 years ago Yeah, he had a 4th of July party My best friend, Crystal, she left me on the side of the road

30:32Ronnie Karam: I had to walk to a Dunkin Donuts Because my phone died, oh god So I've been to the bridge, you know I've been there, I've done that with driving You know what, yeah You know, I've been over the bridge Like I can't drive Es difícil. I've been through it. I ran someone off the road one time. I almost fell off the bridge. I ran over a woman. And the producer's like, you ran over a woman? She goes, yeah, yeah, I ran over a woman. I almost died, swear to God. Did she? Who's the woman? What happened to the woman? She's like, oh my God, it was the scariest thing ever. I ran over a woman, but you know what?

31:07I'm okay. I'm like, we're not worried about you. y creo que

31:38Ronnie Karam: que y Y we see her driving Y es como, oh my god, what are you going to get in my lane now? What are you doing? Like this highway, the traffic's a little bridge, stupid car Fix your car, fix your car

31:49Ben Mandelker: You know, Alicia is the one Who's driving everyone batty on that bridge She's probably like swerving Reaching for crackers I gotta get my car's water cracker down here The only car I'm really comfortable with Are the car brand of crackers So she's like So you know, I kind of feel bad Because I feel like at the 4th of July party Which was great by the way Did you have fun at the party? She's like yeah Well yeah it's so much fun Yeah yeah with the situation that almost happened at the picnic You know like I shouldn't have said what I said I shouldn't have said what I said So I should not Listen I appreciate you saying that And I get everyone's gotta have questions I'm not mad at Joellen But if she segued this conversation into like Rosie asking anything about my relationship You know would I have rather not?

32:33Probably Yeah but it wasn't malicious about it y no, es como, se ha ido a ser un poco nosy, que es lo que yo me di, me di cuenta de eso cuando escuché, no sé si lo sabes, me di cuenta de que yo me di cuenta de eso, que fue muy scary.

32:46Ronnie Karam: Bueno, que es Rhode Island para ti, ¿eh? Bueno, speaking de rumores, me y Liz saw Rula el otro día, y Rula, y, you know, she no es un fan de Joellen, y, you know, Joellen es el gasolín para el mistress fire que está pasando ahora mismo, y ella ya está y se está haciendo pumping, y pouring, y pouring gasolín en el, y Alicia es como, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, I like Rula. Like her family owns a jewelry shop that we go to. It's really close with Billy. And her family also goes to Billy's restaurant a lot. And I feel like she's got a bougie vibe to her. When Rula talks, she's like very fancy. She's like, hi, yes, Alicia, I believe that.

33:18Is that me talking breathy? Hold on, does that sound different? Hold on, let me do it again. Hey, Alicia, it's me, Rula. It's pretty good, right?

33:28Ben Mandelker: Alicia doing sophisticated voice is hilarious. You wanna quacka? Alicia es like, what is the idea, by the way? Kelsey goes, well, according to her, there is no deal. Everything's status quo and hunky-dory. So he's not cheating? It's like, not according to her. Again, I haven't talked to her about it, but I keep hearing all these stories and I'm like, oh my god, like, please, someone give me something. I want to know. I need to know. Like, I mean, the rumors are flying all around the state of Rhode Island. You know, state of a thousand rumors.

37:57Ben Mandelker: I would never live in Cranston It's just not my vibe Now, I was a little surprised that Joellen was from Cranston Because I don't know anything I know some things about Rhode Island But I don't know much But what I've always heard is that Cranston is like Not the best I've always heard Cranston is kind of like Rhode Island's Patterson So I was a little surprised when they're like Cranston, Rhode Island I did not think this was like a real housewives neighborhood And I would like Rhode Island people to correct me Or fill me in on this one So when Rula says, oh, I wouldn't live in Cranston I was like, aha, see, that's what I thought I'd heard about this place.

38:31Ben Mandelker: But in fact, since we are live, people from Rhode Island can fill it in there in the comments. And we will report live back on what people say. Barula says, I'm a nautical girl. I own a boat. I'm one of the only female captains in Rhode Island. Watch out, boys. This bitch is coming like drop the mic. Here I am. I can captain a small boat. Watch out.

38:54Ronnie Karam: I'm the only captain. Drop the mic. Here I am. Fucking robot Rula So then we see Rula

39:03Ben Mandelker: Oh yeah I was going to ask, is this where we see her baby photos?

39:07Ronnie Karam: Oh, I don't think so I don't know, I don't remember But she's like, okay, I'm going to prove to you Right now that I'm a businesswoman Let's go to a car scene So we go to Rula in her car, her lips are gigantic And she's like, everyone tells me I run a tight ship, especially at the office Here, here's me I have projections en la pie chart de la sheet de Excel Google Sheet Pages vs Microsoft Word Boss Bitch

39:37Ben Mandelker: I'm a boss bitch I run a tight ship which is a pun because I also am a captain of small boats Drop the mic Very funny We see Somewhere in here we see pictures of her as a baby and they're like We see her as like a Es como 5 años y es una foto de ella smoking a hucca y yo cracké. Es como un pequeño pequeño, solo como un niño. Y alguien está tomando la pipa y poniendo en su boca. Es el último foto.

40:13Ronnie Karam: Así que yo he venido. El Brian comes out. Look at Brian. Look, look. Hi, Brian. You're doing so great, honey. Brian is my husband. I've been with him for 12 years, married for nine. He's a podiatrist. He does a lot of foot and ankle surgery. And then we cut to Brian. He's like, yeah, that foot's real fucked up. Yeah. Normally, I love tall, dark, and handsome. And my husband is lighter, a little shorter. And I mean, I think he's handsome. He got kind of one of the three.

40:46Ben Mandelker: Yeah. Real convincing there, Rula. We cut to him again being like, all right, notes on the ingrown toenail surgery. Everything's going fine so far.

41:00Ben Mandelker: She tells us she's Syrian descent.

41:02Ronnie Karam: She's Lebanese and Syrian. Her dad's from Beirut. Her mom's from Syria. But she's 100 % Italian. And he's 100 % Italian. And the two cultures go together because rigatoni, rigatoni, family, rigatoni, rigatoni, rigatoni. That's what we believe.

41:21Ben Mandelker: Yeah, you know, we just match. y se dice, es just killing me porque everybody in the state has made it their business and everybody in this group has made it their business to talk about us can you imagine how hard it is for us when the entire state of Rhode Island is paying attention to who this podiatrist is sleeping with am I right? so instead of firing away on stuff you know come and speak with the source that's what I say

41:44Ronnie Karam: yeah so it's like listen what happened last year happened last year it's in the past I just want to move forward yeah I bet you do So she tells us When I saw the cheating pictures I looked at Brian and I said Is there anything that I should know? And he said you've got very flat feet I said you better tell me now He said you should wear insoles

42:05Ben Mandelker: He says you know what You're like a plan to work You're on the bottom of my foot You'll always be there So don't worry about it Rula I said okay it's fine So I found out he was begging

42:17Ronnie Karam: He was pleading He was crying Y dice, I'm just tired of everybody making it their business. He goes, We know what's strong. Obviously, I'm with you. I let you track me. You know where I am every second. I love my wife. I love my family. They're just jealous. Yeah, let me see where you are right now. Why does this say you're in your office? Oh shit, I left my phone in the office. I'll be back. I'll be back. To wiping his face.

42:42Ben Mandelker: He's like, Never mind, never mind. So now we go to Alicia's house because we're going to go to this Newport Vineyards. y Alicia es como I don't leave the house without a quick carb ok, I love my saltines in case I get nauseous I got nuts for protein in case I feel light headed I love a cracker, figs you never know when you need a fig figs are also really good to feed to someone who's just been renovated by your car it really helps them stay focused and stay alive I just feel like it's healthy because it's like a cookie but it's filled with fruit

43:14Ronnie Karam: so by figs she meant fig newtons so they all start arriving and getting on the van y hugging each other y Ashley comes y she's wearing this like renaissance dress like this kind of hippie renaissance dress and like oh my god what is she wearing and then she goes Ashley's outfit is different it's like what is she turning Irish or something like I don't know if that's medieval something or what but like is that folklore like when they say folklore you know when they have the lambs and the women on the mountains folklore what the fuck I'm like please tell me please tell me that's a word folklore that's a word folklore is she a folklore

43:48Ben Mandelker: ¿Está bien? ¿Está bien? ¿Está bien?

44:18Ronnie Karam: from Rhode Island. You moved to Rhode Island.

44:24Ben Mandelker: He's a great guy. He's a great guy. Hold on. Oh, he's texting. He's calling me right now. Hi. Oh. Joellen, your coffee is ready.

44:35Ronnie Karam: She's like, oh, my God. It's so hard making friends and then making friends in your 30s. Is that even a thing? Are we evolved to make friends in our 30s?

44:47Ben Mandelker: so uh they start to drive it's their first sprinter van scene they're uh spilling champagne everywhere because of bumps and everything and uh kelsey and joellen and alicia are talking about how they love wine and alicia loves rose but um they don't but kelsey basically was like i like cheap wine i like what they call stripper juice and a dollar bottle wine you know give it give that to me and i'll be happy but um don't make me open it okay that's that's for christina Don't make me open my own wine

45:15Ronnie Karam: Joellen's like I'm not really a wine connoisseur But I would say I'm a wine snob Because I just buy expensive bottles Okay That's Joellen And ask anyone in the state They'll tell you I'm a real bitch

45:28Ben Mandelker: So they arrive at You know the heart of American wine production Rhode Island The Newport Vineyards And they're getting a tour And there's these big vats And Alicia's like oh is this what they use for heroin Joellen, kind of reminds me of Breaking Bad right now. Jorgen is like, uh, nope.

45:48Ronnie Karam: He's not put that out there either. Thank you. She's never seen that before. She's a character, that Alicia. So Joellen and Kelsey are still outside. Everybody goes into the lunch table. And Joellen's like, what's wrong with you? And Kelsey's like, I just wanted to warn you. Rula's coming. She goes, why? Why is she coming? And she goes, well, Liz and me met with her. She goes, oh, lovely. Bueno, you know, I haven't known Rula long I just met her through Liz However, I 100 % am getting the brunt of the blame from Rula Her husband was having an affair I shared a picture that the mistress posted On the internet And Helen is not like What the hell?

46:27Ronnie Karam: Why am I blamed? So Alicia's like, uh oh, Joelle is going to turn up tonight You guys, uh oh Joelle is going to More like Jo Helen Get it? Jo Helen, you know what I'm saying? Liz goes, well Ashley's saying, well why don't Joellen and Rula get along and Liz says the echoes of Rula's husband have an affair and Alicia's like Joellen took a picture and sent it to Rula so she was the one that was informed, like what's the big deal she was the messenger and she's got little kids and her husband's a foot doctor and I think that he's doing more than rubbing feet anyone want some cheese? I love that they get all these wine flights And Alicia at one point just goes Can I get some bread?

47:16Ronnie Karam: Like Yeah I think her husband's doing a lot I think her husband's banging a lot of people If you know what I mean Anyone want some cheese? Anyone want some cheese? Can I get some bread? Come on Can I get some bread here? So back to Joellen and Kelsey Joellen is like really pissed She's like I'm on TV And I'm going to be extremely pissed about this Now, I'm not here to publicize that her husband's having an affair She knows it It's like, well, she's telling me she doesn't know it I mean, come on, I sent her the pictures Where the husband and the mistress are making out They're making out the picture

47:48Ben Mandelker: And then we see the photo From December 2024 The winter photo that was taken in the summer And Joellen is like Last year, right around New Year's, I saw a picture on Instagram And it was Brian Rula Rula's husband, okay, with another woman And I sent it to Liz And Liz showed it to Rula y Соlived Loilla me and she said he atujas and she was begging me for the pictures she was like please woman to woman send her to him so he did and how could you hear she gasped she had an audible gasp so Kelty's like well I said if you have questions for Joe Uneen you should probably just ask her it's not my question stop stealing my line because that's what I said about you by the way her husband's the one stepping out don't fucking ask me a single thing

48:26Ronnie Karam: she's like it's not my problem you want to call my job you want to start shit because I'll fucking bring it oh yeah I didn't bring that part up She goes, oh, you didn't even bring up, she called my job? You didn't bring that up? She goes, yeah, I didn't get there yet. Well, you know what? That's like a big deal to me. Forward, six months later, Rula and her husband called my work, wrote emails into HR complaining about me to get me fired. All because he knows that I know that he's having an affair. I don't know what my job has to do with it. That's crazy. Rula called her job to complain. Rula, your husband is a cheater, okay?

48:59Ben Mandelker: Yeah.

49:00Ronnie Karam: That's crazy.

49:01Ben Mandelker: Rula is clearly going to be the villain of the season. que yo lo amo. Es porque yo no me he dejen ni a la vida después de la primera episodio y esto es bueno. Y así Joellen es como, no me he dejen a fuck lo que me he dejen que quiera que quiera suerte en la cama que no me he dejen que quiera suerte porque tu hijo está sleeping con alguien que lo que hay que hacer con ella? Fue con mi hijo, fuck mi hijo, fuck mi trabajo voy a la destruir tu vida

49:24Ronnie Karam: y ella le da con ella, ella es como, yeah, tú quieres fuck con ella, fuck con ella, I'll ruin tu vida. Y luego se levanta la eyebrows I don't know if I can do it. I probably need Botox, but she's like, yeah. So then we go back inside, and the girls are still talking about this, and Ashley's trying to put it together. She's like, wait a minute. So this woman and her husband is a foot doctor and may have had an affair, and Joellen may have let her know about the affair? Okay, I think I've got it.

49:54Ben Mandelker: Ashley, keep up. So now everyone's now at the table. y porque Kelsey and Joellen have sat down at this table and Kelsey is going to confirm she's going to call she's going to call up Rilla to be like are you still on the way but then the waitress comes up it's like so does anyone want to order anything and they all just stare at the waitress like who do you think you are the entire state's been talking about you waitress and no one likes you does anybody want to seize her salad get the fuck out of here

50:24Ronnie Karam: so they're I'm not trying to be this awful mean person but this person tried to hurt me and my job and you come from me and my work and my financial state you're not just coming for me you're coming for my children it's like oh wow episode 2 we're already getting that how dare you do this to my children so Rula is now facetiming Kelsey oh hi baby I'm so sorry I can't make it I was at urgent care I was at urgent care I'm not going to be there today ok

50:57Ben Mandelker: Apparently I saw that in order to get to Newport, Rhode Island, we'll have to drive through Cranston and I got an instant case of Cranstonitis and I just can't come. I'm just too sick. I'm just too sick by the association of Cranston. I'm sorry.

51:10Ronnie Karam: My car had to pass Alicia's house and it stopped. It stopped. It couldn't go any further. The house is just too embarrassing.

51:16Ben Mandelker: I had to come home. So Joellen There's like these boxes for the game they're about to play So Joellen picks one of the boxes up and throws it in the bushes I was like you're littering ma 'am So Alicia's like So what happened where was she She's like she's in bed And Rosie's like with a hat and full glam On too I'd like to add Like oh a hat and full glam Classic ruler

51:40Ronnie Karam: Joellen says she's not sick she gets headaches Because she's stressed out from taking too much Ozempic Have a protein paw Get a turkey leg from Ashley

51:49Ben Mandelker: That was funny I got to Ashley in her crazy outfit I'm done, I don't want to talk about her anymore Okay, so Kelsey goes Guys, I have a little game The Bravo wants me to play with everyone I feel like we've all said something We've all heard something I know I was talked about at the picnic

52:07Ronnie Karam: Oh god, Kelsey, nobody cares They're like, oh god, Kelsey It's like, okay, Rula didn't show up for drama So Kelsey's going to whip out her stupid, like, people are trying to accuse me of having a polygamous relationship. Which I love that she keeps saying polygamous. Yeah. So Kelsey is like, okay, I have questions. You have questions. So we've all got questions. So let's just air the questions out, you know. So we're going to write down questions and put them in a box. And then we're going to read each other's questions. And so Rosie's like, oh, my God, I got Sharpie on my nail. That's never going to come out.

52:43Ben Mandelker: She's like seriously upset You can see her, she's like guys Guys, I got Sharpie on my nail What do I do, should I just leave So Ashley's like okay Alright, so the question for me Ashley, when did you lose your virginity I was on the verge Of 30 and Kelsey's like 29 I lost my virginity when I was 14 She's like yeah, I just I wanted to wait for the right person So I ended up being a virgin por un poco de tiempo. I mean, I was trying to have sex with this guy, pero he kept on interrupting our activities to hand out flat whites to people. So it took a while.

53:19Ronnie Karam: No, really haven't had sex. I was actually knocked up by a milk steamer. So weird.

53:29Ronnie Karam: So that was her big plot on The Bachelor, that she was a virgin. And so then they ask Alicia if she hooked up with Gary, Joellen's husband. And Alicia's like, No, nunca once. ¿Qué es así, una craca? ¿yi crees uno de la puta hija cosa que yo lo hicieron con él? ¿Tú preguntan yo eso? Y ella se hubieran le pastebonado. Y él es algo un ebenfalls de un viejo, solo ha habido carlador. ¡V mieć conocido Gary desde que no soyos tres años! Las próes por aquello enzonan bir habían promulgado. ¿He간os mi hermano sin amor? Padd she goes ,otive chaise, hola, esta es una buena. ¿De la pude con ella? ¿As lo asuría el caro?

54:02Esejí te fue fascinando a mi hijo. Sí ,stáها. Hay poco más allá, yo, assessing. ¿There es una cosa, Joya? папas así. I did.

54:07Ben Mandelker: She was like, okay, there's a big rumor about me. I've never even met the coach. No. And this must be a very serious rumor because Bravo doesn't even show a headline or anything. Bravo doesn't even mention which coach this must be. But do we think this is like the coach of like the Celtics or something or like University of Ireland?

54:27Ronnie Karam: Did they not say? They were talking about sports on another show, I think. Seahawks. Where are the Seahawks from? Some show was just talking about the Seahawks. Where's that? Seattle. So I wouldn't be here. Seattle Seahawks. I don't know. But she's like, I've never had an affair with a basketball coach. I've never even met him. Okay, don't believe everything you see on Reddit. Give me a break. So now Joellen asks her own question. She's like, oh, okay, here's one for me. Are you a swinger? Oh, my God, I hear this question. I'm not a swinger. Gary and I are not swingers. A few of my friends are swingers.

55:01Ronnie Karam: And, you know, who cares? Like Rhode Island is a big swinging community, you know, to each their own. I don't give a shit what they do. Yeah, I don't care. I mean, I wish Gary would let me swing. We had a threesome. That's that's fine. The lady left. She said that's the biggest bitch in the state. I fucked.

55:16Ben Mandelker: It's so funny because when Ground says, yeah, Rhode Island has a big swinging community, they cut right away to Liz looking down at her plate. Like, don't look at me, which I thought that was very fun. I was like, I caught that editors.

55:29Ronnie Karam: They're all swinging and cheating. I love this show. And I don't believe Joe Allen for one second. And I don't believe Rosie either. You fuck the coach and you're a swinger Just gonna come out

55:38Ben Mandelker: It's all out there We should also mention that the food does arrive Somewhere in the middle of this And I don't know what I don't really know what What's her face ordered Liz, did she order like a roast beef sandwich Without the bread because she just gets a pile A mound, not just a pile A mound of roast beef Yeah, she orders Can I have shaved roast beef I don't like the bread Just the roast beef. He's got some pile of roast beef. I've never seen that.

56:11Ronnie Karam: So she denies being a swinger. And then Kelsey says, well, are you dating? Okay, so that's the question for me. Am I dating? Oh, gosh, this is a hot topic conversation. I'm very famous. You know, I'm not in a polygamous relationship, you guys. I've never been in a polygamous relationship. And obviously, I want to have kids. And I want to be married. and this person that I've been with for 10 years will not give me that. So yes, I'm dating someone else.

56:38Ben Mandelker: Guys, I could not be clearer about this. I'm absolutely not dating someone. So in conclusion, I'm dating someone else. What don't you guys get?

56:46Ronnie Karam: Get off my ass. And Rosie's like, wait, so now you do have two boyfriends? What? And Kelsey's like, okay, I'm cool. I'm happy and I'm living my life. Fine.

56:56Ben Mandelker: Rosie goes, well, I did ask ChatGPT about this. Polygamy is if you're married. polyamorous is when you're not she has two boyfriends at one time if this isn't polyamory i don't know what is so uh i love that rosie acts like she just discovered a rare earth mineral so kelsey's like the two people in my life are the most wonderful people whether i end up with either one i would be happy at least because as long as you're happy because you're a baby you want a cracker i got a lot so um joe allen says okay i know that you

57:29Ronnie Karam: guys have had questions so rosie alicia anyone has questions from matter ask her so liz is like um so why did you bring it up in the first place joellen you were the one who brought up who brought up uh kelsey being upset and she's like i did not bring up kelsey and they're like yeah you did so we see the clip of her bringing it up and uh joellen's like well i was just saying she was going through a lot and then rosie says yeah but then we asked up follow-up questions and you were like we can't talk about it so why bring it up if you don't want to answer follow-up questions i I mean, jeez.

58:01Ben Mandelker: So basically Joellen's like, look, if I brought it up, it wasn't intentional. Like it wasn't to get everyone to start talking. And once people did start talking about it, I shut it down. So there, that's all it is, right? And they're like, yeah, yeah. She was just saying like, oh, hey, like this is what she's been up to this week. Everything's fine. Everything's fine. Like, okay. And Kelsey's like, see, I think Joellen apologizing to me was like everything that I needed to hear. And I feel like what she's saying is genuine. So I hope that this is just kind of like a one and done. y eso es, que creo que es el show de decir que es lo que pasa 10 más veces este año.

58:34Ronnie Karam: Liz reads her question y es like, I know it's not true. ¿Qué es esto? Y Alicia es así, I was nervous, tried to write it. I'm sorry. I almost died. I almost died cuando I wrote it. I wrote it in the con, I ran a someone over what will happen. It was very scary, but I had a Fig Newton so everything was okay. Could you translate this for me? I can't read it. She goes, I love you, but is the news true? Could I have a cracker? ¿Qué do you mean the news? I don't know what you're talking about the news That you were having an affair, something like that She goes, oh So Ashley goes, wow, these women talk about affairs

59:07Ben Mandelker: They talk about cheating scandals This is definitely supposed to be a salacious game Like you're supposed to air out dirty laundry This is like the weirdest thing I'm like, shut up Ashley Honestly, I don't know why Ashley is here So far I'm like, every time she talks I'm like, this is time that we could be spending with the other women

59:23Ronnie Karam: I like it, I mean, I don't mind Ashley Maybe it's because I know her from the other show, but I think it's funny that they just plopped Ashley in a Real Housewives show and she's like, what the fuck is this? She's like, what even is this? You know? Yeah, but that's the point. She's a new fish. You know, you got to have someone being like, these women are crazy. So Liz is like, okay, what you're asking me, is it true of a heaven and a fear? No, it's not true. And Rosie's like, yeah, I've heard of a former romance with her best friend. Like they were calling themselves each other 400 times a month or something.

59:55Ronnie Karam: I mean, but like Liz is 56 years old. Like she's not really texting that much. Excuse you, Rosie. Old people text.

1:00:04Ben Mandelker: Yeah, that's right. And if you're lucky, they'll text in all caps.

1:00:09Ronnie Karam: Yeah, exactly. So Alicia's like, well, I'm just asking for everybody else. I know it's not true. She's like, well, we can pretend it is because it makes a great story. But now listen, my husband and I have a very close friend, Tino. He's my little brother. I love this person. y también

1:00:55¿Está bien en un crimen con un crimen con un crimen? Y le dice, Years ago, mi esposo took up sports fishing. So Jerry fue con tres meses de cuatro. So cuando Jerry fue ahí, I me siempre fue con Dino. Y me la gente tiene un affair. Pero Alicia debería saber que esto es todo el mundo. Ella sabe. Ella sabe. Porque otros no saben mi historia. Ellos quieren, pero tiempo nos dio.

1:01:18Ronnie Karam: Entonces, Kelsey es como, Wow, esto fue un gran tiempo, everybody. Nosotros nos hemos creado. Y Liz es como, You know, it's a scary day when people can take rumors And try to ruin their lives over it Like what Alicia said That rumors she was co-signing onto a narrative That she knew was false And look, they look at me like I'm scary But a couple of these girls at the table They're capable of much more scary things than I am
