00:01:48
Speaker 5: Hey, Ray drops on today's episode, Reality but the King. Mine Carlo is back to talk about episode three of the Real Housewives of Rhode Island. And I'm calling this episode, Monica, let's talk about the husband's.

00:02:02
Speaker 6: Okay, right, like this, Okay, the flow of this is just perfection. How they are just oh, they're writing it, they're writing it, and they're doing it so good.

00:02:16
Speaker 5: Well, it appears that Rula's husband is writing something because or somebody writing him. But nonetheless, it's a lot of writing going on.

00:02:28
Speaker 6: There's a lot, I mean, we even got we got to meet the boyfriend of miss sugar Baby honey boyfriend Bill. I mean, there was a full intro. It felt like, Okay, here we go. We are fully being introduced into the opposite partners here.

00:02:46
Speaker 5: Yes, no, so let's let's get into I mean, listen, we should just start with Bill. Okay, so rain drops kill the resident sugar Baby who has a boyfriend of ten years. She lives in the twenty thousand script for the home he the boyfriend is in Miami six months out of the year with his girlfriend's plural. This is according to Kelsey, not us. And she is home alone, like Macaulay Caulkin said, baby besides her living nanny but not nanny housekeeper.

00:03:24
Speaker 1: But instead of all.

00:03:26
Speaker 5: Of that, we get to meet her boyfriend Bill. And this is what I said, This show has taken on a life on the Monica. Yes, gag with They actually showed us in episode three no less, Yeah, this woman's second boyfriend.

00:03:50
Speaker 6: I did not see that happening. I'm shocked and I look. I thought some very very interesting dms yes sent to me about this specific situation.

00:04:09
Speaker 3: Carlos, I know, I'm okay.

00:04:16
Speaker 6: So apparently there is major drama happening in real time right now due to this situation and the girlfriend allegedly. Okay, these are just dms sent from people that apparently aren't familiar and close to the situation.

00:04:37
Speaker 3: This is for entertainment purposes only. Okay.

00:04:39
Speaker 6: But apparently the girlfriend didn't live in Miami all this time, and she lived there as well and moved allegedly because of the show.

00:04:58
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, this is just.

00:05:04
Speaker 5: Yes, you were told that Kelsey's benefactor, yes, has a girlfriend.

00:05:12
Speaker 3: Yes, that there.

00:05:16
Speaker 6: I don't know if it was in the house or but definitely in the same little town and moved out because.

00:05:26
Speaker 3: They were filming the show.

00:05:28
Speaker 6: She was like, goodbye, I'm off to Miami.

00:05:35
Speaker 5: So wait, the bene factor allegedly, if not in the house, he had his.

00:05:42
Speaker 1: Slew of women. Stay. I believe.

00:05:46
Speaker 5: I believe listen, I believe it. No, I believe that this makes sense. So it's sort of like this man had a couple of girlfriends and they all knew what was going on, and he has he also had two girlfriends. Kelsey and this other woman live in that twenty thousand square foot home, which makes sense because might have that big of a house if you're not there. And this also makes sense to me because she she meaning Kelsey, Kelsey is so for the rights about all of this.

00:06:23
Speaker 1: And I just don't think.

00:06:24
Speaker 5: I don't care if the man does have multiple women. No man is funding your lifestyle with the understanding that.

00:06:31
Speaker 1: You have a boyfriend as well. So this actually tracks to me.

00:06:37
Speaker 6: But continue right, Yeah, So once they got picked up and the casting was happening, and da da da da, this other person allegedly wanted nothing to do with any of this and got the hell out of Dodge. And apparently the show is just opening all these cans of worms on that on that town, on honey, and yes that you know that, you know this, The BTS is always better than this.

00:07:07
Speaker 5: Well, look the real show, Yes, exactly, exactly.

00:07:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, is that funny? I was like, oh my god, this is tea.

00:07:19
Speaker 1: I believe it.

00:07:20
Speaker 3: Yeah right, it makes sense.

00:07:22
Speaker 6: No, I believe because to me that that makes sense. And not everybody is so upfront with that being their lifestyle. A lot of people do like to keep that very private, and a lot of people that really do have a lot of money don't want to be part of something like this. They don't want that exposure and secrets coming out in their life.

00:07:45
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean.

00:07:47
Speaker 5: I get it. I do. Yeah, you know, you know, no, okay, because because rain drops allegedly allegedly allegedly, Yeah, the guy is Okay. So Kelsey's boyfriend that they're talking about. His name is allegedly John Caprio, and he actually addressed the situation a few days ago.

00:08:16
Speaker 1: Monica.

00:08:17
Speaker 5: Not sure if you saw this statement he released, but he saw.

00:08:20
Speaker 3: That he said something, but I didn't know what he said.

00:08:22
Speaker 5: Okay, So let me read it to you. And the rain draws. Okay, okay, So he's addressing the rumors, so listen.

00:08:29
Speaker 1: His name is John Caprio.

00:08:32
Speaker 5: He is a high profile local figure who released a firm statement regarding their connection just.

00:08:40
Speaker 1: As his ex wife and daughter.

00:08:43
Speaker 5: Publicly inserted themselves into the messy reality TV.

00:08:48
Speaker 1: Drama John and his family.

00:08:52
Speaker 6: See I told you this person said that there was all this drama happening because of the show.

00:08:59
Speaker 3: Wow.

00:09:00
Speaker 5: Okay, John and his family's law firm released an official statement confirming he knows Kelsey but actively deny any serious romantic involvement. Immediately after the firm's statement dropped, John's ex wife spoke to the press to heavily criticize his association with the controversial bravostar.

00:09:22
Speaker 1: His daughter also took the social.

00:09:25
Speaker 5: Media to express her intense frustration with her family being dragged into the reality television spotlight. Dragging a well known local family to a brand new reality show.

00:09:39
Speaker 1: Okay, this is.

00:09:41
Speaker 3: God, harlows. That just means that my source was totally right.

00:09:48
Speaker 5: Yes, because they're saying that, oh okay, we gotta get into this baby, and the.

00:09:52
Speaker 6: Other woman was like, you're not going to fuck up my check.

00:09:57
Speaker 3: I'm leaving. He doesn't want shit to do with this, so I'm out.

00:10:01
Speaker 5: And guess what I would be out too, because excuse me, Moir, I don't want anything to do with this while my bills are potly up and you expect me to talk about this shit on camera. Ra Oh wow, this is okay, so a right, not denying her, bitch, He's yes, he's he listen. First of all, what's true is she's in the house, like.

00:10:31
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

00:10:32
Speaker 5: She she's she's in the house like she's in the house, So we maybe not anymore. Oh baby, she got kicked out, I'm pretty sure.

00:10:41
Speaker 6: Yeah, Because if he's denying, oh.

00:10:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, So John's ex wife name is Catherine Caprio, and she made a very clear mind because she wants no part in the reality TV chatter. His daughter, Sophia uh said, I'm going to let Kelsey tell her story and let this season unfold. John said, I respectfully have no more for the comment. Oh Catherine, his ex wife said, we want nothing to do with the Real Housewives.

00:11:15
Speaker 1: Baloney.

00:11:18
Speaker 5: Well baby, I'm eating this up with a rye bun, mayonnaise, avocado, vegan cheese, okay, and a slice.

00:11:26
Speaker 3: Let's tell you. Let me tell you. I cannot even believe that. I can't believe that.

00:11:31
Speaker 6: Holy shit, because yeah, the source said, like the other Miami girl or whatever was like deuces, I'm out, I'm not going to be involved in any of this, like whatever, and that this was causing major issues for everybody else involved in Then while that totally makes that's so embarrassing.

00:11:53
Speaker 5: That tracks, that tracks, It actually tracks. So you can't be that brazen to brand on your boyfriend. And I don't know any me And this the other thing, I don't know any man who would be okay with his girlfriend having a boyfriend whose house she's staying in.

00:12:15
Speaker 1: If there wasn't some arrangement right right? Because Bill is on camera.

00:12:21
Speaker 5: Bill's a handsome guy, and as they're talking, you know, she's even like my mom likes.

00:12:28
Speaker 6: Him and a yeah, she's like my future son in law.

00:12:32
Speaker 3: How's my future son in law?

00:12:35
Speaker 4: You know what?

00:12:36
Speaker 3: I will tell you this. Okay.

00:12:37
Speaker 6: I had a thought while I was watching this scene with her and boyfriend Bill. I was thinking, this is giving bronwin. It reminded me of Bronwyn a little bit.

00:12:51
Speaker 3: That's no shade. You have no shade where.

00:12:57
Speaker 6: She was in this situation and now is maybe looking.

00:13:01
Speaker 3: At the show as her out. Does that make sense?

00:13:06
Speaker 1: Like?

00:13:06
Speaker 6: I was sitting there watching this scene, Yeah, watching the scene and how are you talking to this man about children and whatever? And they were talking about he can't he can't afford her lifestyle and his home is much much smaller and she would have to work and all these things. And I'm like, why are you so openly having this conversation when you've been with this other man for so long?

00:13:32
Speaker 3: You know we won't have kids.

00:13:33
Speaker 6: You don't have to like it's giving kind of like, Okay, now I have this show, maybe that's our.

00:13:40
Speaker 3: Did you get that vibe?

00:13:41
Speaker 5: Am I like, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, percent. The thing is this Kelsey who is very pretty and listen. There were also allegations that she's a former escort, which she denied. Hey, listen, I'm gonna say this, and this is just the reality of the world we live in.

00:14:01
Speaker 1: There's a lot of women.

00:14:02
Speaker 5: Who are with these wealthy men for transactional reasons and they're not considered es course, because they're not in the back pages or they don't have a only fans, you know what I mean. There isn't a website. However, we all know about the transactions. Right, I'm a young, pretty hot thing, you're you're whatever. You got the means? I got the thing.

00:14:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I got the things.

00:14:30
Speaker 5: We both are getting something out of it, and I think Kelsey got something out of it.

00:14:34
Speaker 1: I believe your source is.

00:14:37
Speaker 5: I believe that once the show got picked up, he was like, look this is you don't mention my name, and she said, of course I won't. I don't think he understood, because I'm pretty sure he doesn't understand bro Housewives. I don't think yeah, baby, I don't think he understood. How now going to dive in into it? And yeah, I think the reason why she was able to have a boyfriend is because she probably said to look, he's a nice guy. We're not committed. He doesn't want me homeless.

00:15:13
Speaker 6: So well, she said she said in the episode, we have kind of like a don't ask, don't tell, if you remember her saying that, And so that's kind of like, hmm.

00:15:26
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, Monica, we're asking and telling. Yeah, we're all asking.

00:15:31
Speaker 6: We're doing all the telling, and everybody is sending me all of their asking and tellings and my dms and and also I want to make it clear Kelsey girl and whoever else, there is nothing wrong with going on this show to get a check and to hopefully change your life and to build from it. And I think that is like the biggest bullshit, like you were only there, Da da da d That's why they're all there. That's why everybody's there. What are you talking about, you know?

00:16:02
Speaker 5: Is do people not understand that everybody's on this Let me tell you something that's not one person. Lisa Vanda Pump is not on the show because she just wants something to do. No, she likes the money and the fame and and what comes out of it. Based on her businesses plural exactly, you know what I mean? Like everybody benefits off of being on the show Who the fuck joins a reality show, especially of her Housewives franchise. That part where they understand how massive it is if you don't want money, fame, Yeah, like it is one of it.

00:16:33
Speaker 1: Guess what.

00:16:34
Speaker 5: I was watching this interview with Kim Kardashian's business partner named Emma Gerdy, and she said, and it really just hit me. She said, in order for you to be successful, you have to be honest about what you want.

00:16:49
Speaker 1: If you want to be rich, say that. If you want to be famous, say it.

00:16:52
Speaker 5: Be audacious and what you want, and the universe will give it to you.

00:16:57
Speaker 1: There's people out there.

00:16:58
Speaker 5: Would be like, na, bitch, I want.

00:17:01
Speaker 1: All of it.

00:17:01
Speaker 5: Guess what?

00:17:02
Speaker 6: And you know, I was very clear that I was like, I am here for the check, bitch, I am here for the check.

00:17:11
Speaker 1: It's a cute check.

00:17:13
Speaker 5: Yes, and what comes and the thing is what comes after it too.

00:17:19
Speaker 3: So yes, yes, don't.

00:17:22
Speaker 5: Understand the shading back Kelsey. I agree with you. I think Kelsey's trying to set herself up. Yeah, a good life and you deserve a mama.

00:17:30
Speaker 1: You spent ten years.

00:17:32
Speaker 5: Yep, making your way.

00:17:39
Speaker 1: And baby, I'm bad.

00:17:42
Speaker 6: Now he's saying, I don't know her.

00:17:46
Speaker 1: Look, she's a great and a good thing about is this. I will give him this. What he did not disrespect her?

00:17:54
Speaker 5: No, he didn't, you know what I mean, In all fairness, he said, I know her were not together, and that's that, Like I wish her well, he's not disrespecting her. So and I also think it's because Kelsey, in her defense, so far in three episodes, she has not said.

00:18:12
Speaker 1: Anything bad about him. The only thing.

00:18:14
Speaker 5: She's saying is he's about to do him all allowed.

00:18:16
Speaker 1: To do me?

00:18:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and that he has his own kids and so he doesn't want to do it again.

00:18:22
Speaker 3: I mean that's it. Then that's fine, you know.

00:18:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's no there hasn't been hatred vibes at all.

00:18:28
Speaker 5: No, why do you think Bill is okay with this arrangement that he has with Kelsey? That was the one thing I could not put my finger on. I understand Kelsey's intentions, I could not put my finger on Bill.

00:18:46
Speaker 1: You know what.

00:18:47
Speaker 3: I never even thought of that, right, yeah, wait, that's such a good point, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, like you're okay, with for having this other.

00:19:04
Speaker 5: I never thought that to the point, hey, listen, it's not a fake relationship, because the mother did say how my son in law, And it goes to show you that he has definitely been around for a long time.

00:19:17
Speaker 6: Well, and they showed pictures of them in like school, growing up and da da da.

00:19:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's been around.

00:19:25
Speaker 5: Unless well, now it's hitting me unless they have you know how, like you have a friend that you grew up with and you guys have a pack, like if we don't get.

00:19:34
Speaker 1: Married by thirty. Yeah, you know what I mean.

00:19:36
Speaker 5: Maybe it's one of those things. Maybe because I forgot about that. You are right, they are like childhood friends.

00:19:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean, maybe he's okay with it because.

00:19:51
Speaker 3: He's just I don't know. Maybe I don't know.

00:19:55
Speaker 6: That is such a I mean, but she's okay with it, you know, him having other girlfriends. Maybe it's kind of like maybe he views it as like you're not really in a relationship.

00:20:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I'm so.

00:20:08
Speaker 3: In love with her that he doesn't care.

00:20:11
Speaker 6: I don't know. It's interesting and as I know, and they've got to be having conversations obviously between each other that we don't know about and that's why he's around. I do find it funny though, that when they had the party the Studio fifty four, they kind of seemed more distant than they did at their.

00:20:32
Speaker 3: Little Yeah, they were like.

00:20:37
Speaker 6: She was like, he's here because he's friends with Jerry, not for me. He would have been here anyway, Like they were like.

00:20:45
Speaker 5: Separate.

00:20:46
Speaker 6: It felt very separate versus the coffee shop or whatever.

00:20:50
Speaker 3: It was very interesting to.

00:20:52
Speaker 1: Me, Right, are you bringing Bill mom?

00:20:59
Speaker 5: Theshell to have a good storyline because you guys are friends, and because he all did day and your mom. Every mother has their daughter's husband picked out for them, and maybe because he's a family friend that's been around. Yes, the mother is probably like I always like him, like marry him. She's like, oh no, look, no, Shade, he's not a bad boy. He's not bad enough or even Shade, or he's not rich enough. You know, he's not rich enough, but he's a cool and hey, Bill, come on the show. Let's just say, because it's true, they probably have slept with each other in the past couple of years. For sure, you are right at the Studio fifty for a party. They did not seem united as they do one on one scene.

00:21:45
Speaker 6: Nope, nope, it's giving you guys were just talking about how many kids you want to like?

00:21:53
Speaker 3: I don't know him. It was weird.

00:21:57
Speaker 1: It was weird. And even when it comes to the.

00:22:03
Speaker 5: Studio fifty four party, before we begin to the fullness of that, even seeing Liz and Jerry together embre scene this Dino thing, and again we'll get to the party later, but yeah, Liz is still denying that she had anything to do with Dino. Her and Jerry are pretty much laughing at it, and for me, I get the sense that they.

00:22:31
Speaker 1: Knew it was gonna come out.

00:22:33
Speaker 5: I think Liz understood the gravity of being on the show. Watch her and watch What Happens Live last night?

00:22:39
Speaker 1: Did you see it?

00:22:40
Speaker 3: I didn't.

00:22:42
Speaker 5: Was it good?

00:22:43
Speaker 1: She was good. She said that she was waiting for this room to come out.

00:22:49
Speaker 5: She was she said while they were filming, she was sitting on it for it to come out because she couldn't wait to address it and nip it in the butt. So my girl was prepared, yeah, for this, And the reason why I'm saying she definitely was prepared for it, although she admitted it is because I feel like her and Jerry's answers are a little bit too clean for my life. We know that he stepped out. She's denied they had anything. I think they had. I think I definitely think they had something. And I think Jerry and Dino being bros, they made amends and they have a story and they're sticking to it.

00:23:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't.

00:23:38
Speaker 5: I believe that they have something. I just believe it. I believe it.

00:23:44
Speaker 1: And yeah, go ahead, well you have more tea.

00:23:51
Speaker 3: No, I haven't received any tea on that yet yet.

00:23:56
Speaker 1: We look, Monica, we need Dina on the podcast.

00:23:59
Speaker 3: No, right, we really do.

00:24:01
Speaker 6: No, I just I you know, we had this conversation last time. It's very very hard to be friends that close for that long and not have some kind of something happened.

00:24:18
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know.

00:24:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how that one plays out. It really will, because I feel like they left. The ending of the show was on her kind of what.

00:24:33
Speaker 3: Do they call Hurricane Liz.

00:24:34
Speaker 6: Hurricane Liz kind of exploded over the whole Dino of it all. So it'll be interesting to see.
