00:03:13
Speaker 3: I'll be honest. I was like, I was a lot like you. I'm like, we have New Jersey, like we have New York. I'm like, what is this?

00:03:21
Speaker 5: I like Ashley. I liked Ashley from when she was on the Bachelor. I've always loved her. But I was I was very skeptical. I love my girl, Dolores down she.

00:03:33
Speaker 3: I fuck with Dolores all the way.

00:03:36
Speaker 5: But I was very like, this is probably gonna be Matt when I tell you, When I tell you, the other franchises better be fucking shaking because they are taking it. That was an insane premiere, an amazing first two episodes.

00:03:54
Speaker 3: And it's giving everything.

00:03:57
Speaker 5: It's giving family, it's giving rumor, it's giving money, it's giving the parties, bitch, the parties.

00:04:07
Speaker 3: Everything. Ten out of ten out of ten across the board. It ate down, it was, it blew me away. It really did no it listened.

00:04:17
Speaker 4: It's funny because I guess going into Sophie with I'm not even gonna say low expectations. No, bitch, I had no expectations and everything Monica is saying is one thousand percent accurate, and it's how I feel.

00:04:34
Speaker 2: This This the Real Housewives of.

00:04:37
Speaker 4: Rhode Island brought back the old g nature of why we all fell in love with this brand.

00:04:47
Speaker 2: These women and ladies.

00:04:50
Speaker 4: If you're listening, Real Housewives are road either ladies.

00:04:54
Speaker 2: I beg of you. Yes, do change they are.

00:04:58
Speaker 4: They are so refreshing because they're not coming in.

00:05:04

00:05:08
Speaker 4: Way they act, it's like they've never seen a housewive show, you know, Yes, you know, like some girls come in a little too thirsty, yes, and they kind of know the program and they try to come in being that these girls are so Roe Island, and I'm like, I.

00:05:27
Speaker 2: Have to get.

00:05:28
Speaker 3: The I was so worried. I was like, this is gonna be cheesy for real. I was like, this is it? You know, I'm hooked. I'm hooked. I am obsessed. The cast is perfection.

00:05:47
Speaker 2: Let's get into the cast. Yes, yes, me and Monica have not talked obviously since we hit the record by ed, I have no idea how she feels.

00:05:57
Speaker 4: But as of now, as we get into the first episode and listen. We don't have to go through scene by scene by scene because we're recapping two episodes.

00:06:05
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, bitch, live live.

00:06:13
Speaker 8: She's my favorite's my favorite bitch because she's the boris. She is the doll o honey of Rhode Island. She is taking it. She is mother so.

00:06:26
Speaker 3: Far of Rhode Island. She doesn't give zero fucks. She will say it's happening now, ma, like, don't try.

00:06:36
Speaker 5: And act like, oh my god. She she's she's a boss.

00:06:41
Speaker 3: She is a boss. She gives me like East Coast hard vibes, and I am living for it.

00:06:51
Speaker 5: I love her fucking story with her daughters because I can relate to that on every level.

00:06:59
Speaker 3: When she clocked missus.

00:07:01
Speaker 5: Rue la la la honey, when she clocked her for pretty much saying you're not the bio mom, right, you know what I'm talking about?

00:07:11
Speaker 4: Oh no, yeah said what she said, urbat Yeah, because I when I said to you, I get and my brother's not on my nose because I said, god.

00:07:21
Speaker 2: Yes, that's not listening.

00:07:22
Speaker 3: Same notes.

00:07:24
Speaker 2: We're mine Carlo for a reason. Real No.

00:07:28
Speaker 4: When she said it's different when you produce your own kids.

00:07:33
Speaker 5: Ill, I I was infuriated.

00:07:41
Speaker 3: Because I have that exact situation.

00:07:45
Speaker 5: And I was like, listen, my ex husband adopted the baby girl that I had at nineteen, and.

00:07:52
Speaker 3: That is her dad.

00:07:54
Speaker 5: That is her father, and he has when when Liss says I sacrifice everything from them, but whatever, I felt that because same, he sacrificed everything for that baby girl and that is her father, bio or not, bio or not, and the bio can be worse.

00:08:13
Speaker 3: So what are you talking about? What are you talking about?

00:08:15
Speaker 5: I love that she called her right away to the carpet on that and was like, uh uh uh uh.

00:08:21
Speaker 3: Those are my girls.

00:08:23
Speaker 5: I am their mother all intents and purchases, even though I didn't birth them.

00:08:28
Speaker 3: I loved it, love, and I was just like, I fuck with you.

00:08:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, I Look.

00:08:33
Speaker 4: The thing with Liz is the fact that Liz was still extremely respectful of the biological mother because ye all, she wanted to and I'm not gonna say throw her under the bus, but she wanted to tell the.

00:08:47
Speaker 3: Truth about the situation.

00:08:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, the situation with the biological mom. But she was still very respectful. She's like, I have these kids since they were three, yes, so what are.

00:08:58
Speaker 4: We even talking about? Here and then the oldest daughter's pregnant. Yes you saw her embrace Liz like that was you know her her bio mom. So listen, Liz is so good, So rain drops Liz star so far. Liz is married to a guy named Gary. They were married for about six months when she also learned about this DNA thing. Uh, but she said, if you look at Gary, you look at me, no one's ever going to say we are related.

00:09:32
Speaker 3: But we wait, Jerry or Gary, Jerry my bad girl.

00:09:36
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, it's Jerry, my bad because G he spells with the G.

00:09:41
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

00:09:42
Speaker 2: So thank you babe. So Jerry.

00:09:45
Speaker 4: So she goes, if you look at Jerry and you look at me, no one's ever going to say we are related. So we are related somewhere down the line.

00:09:54
Speaker 2: And I'm like, no, shade.

00:09:57
Speaker 4: I'm like, wasn't the incest is going? What is this grossness? So she cleared it up. She cleared it up, Monica and said that her mom passed away in nineteen eighty five, but she did not realize that her mom had divorced her dad married this Irish guy for one year, divorced him, and then married my mom who she thought her dad was, which is also confusing. So my great my great grandmother was a McGraw.

00:10:35
Speaker 2: It's distant. It's very, very, very distant.

00:10:40
Speaker 3: I'm so confused, right, I was just like, I don't even care which I like you, but I don't give a fun girl.

00:10:49
Speaker 1: You do you?

00:10:51
Speaker 4: Hey, listen, you do you? You know what was so interesting about the fact that and and I do feel like we're gonna get more out of this this season Liz unless unless I got this wrong, Liz never explained why she was unable to have kids biologically.

00:11:16
Speaker 3: No, I don't think she did touch on that.

00:11:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, she kind of danced around it, which to me makes me think like we're gonna learn that more in this season, which we're confined with because you don't want to put all your eggs in the first episode basket and it gives you something to want to like rest on, But Liz is everything. We're gonna get to Rula because Rula.

00:11:45
Speaker 2: Rula La La.

00:11:46
Speaker 4: She came second episode, so before we get to that, Yeah, we got to get into the bombshell of the first episode. To me, Kelsey Kelsey, yes, former Miss Old Island, a self described lady of leisure.

00:12:04
Speaker 2: Who lives in a home with seventy nine TVs and.

00:12:08
Speaker 5: Four which not me ready four kitchens and seventy nine TVs.

00:12:15
Speaker 4: Kelsey was okay, Kelsey has a boyfriend. Yeah, he was with for ten years.

00:12:23
Speaker 7: Yeah, she says dates multiple people and he lives in Miami with somebody else for several months out of the year.

00:12:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like six months in Miami or something and the rest there.

00:12:38
Speaker 2: Yeah. And she has this massive house.

00:12:43
Speaker 4: I want to say, dont get this wrong, Like it's like double dis it's more than ten thousand squirre feet.

00:12:49
Speaker 3: Wasn't it like twenty something thousand square feet like that?

00:12:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was exaggerating.

00:12:54
Speaker 4: I'm like, I think she said it's either between sixteen or twenty thousand to twenty thousand.

00:13:00
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:13:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's huge.

00:13:02
Speaker 2: And when they sell that bitch laying down by the pool and.

00:13:06
Speaker 3: The bitch bitch. Let me tell you something I will never forget.

00:13:13
Speaker 5: At reunion, when Heather Gay said to me, you don't have any of the same things we have, it was probably the most classest thing I've ever heard on Housewives said to another housewife, and let me tell you something right now, RHSLC cast bitch you ain't got anything that these other Rhode Island housewives have, bitch, because.

00:13:42
Speaker 3: Those homes, those homes, those are mansions. They are mansions, Bitch. They have full time house keepers living in the homes, living in the homes full time. Okay, are you kidding me?

00:14:03
Speaker 5: They've got nanny's working thirty three hours a week. I mean they are giving fucking I could. I couldn't now listen, this is Kelsey is living everybody's dream a lot of people's dreams. But but I love that we're also seeing the flip side of that, where she's lonely and she does want to be married, and she's realizing she does want children, and so it's it's I love that, this is what I love and this is a lot of times what people try to hide is this gorgeous home. You have all these things in it, The house is full, the garage has the cars, the car has no limit, and you're still empty. There's still something missing. And I love that she is bringing that.

00:14:59
Speaker 3: Side of it.

00:15:00
Speaker 5: So there's depths, there's a lot of depth in that situation. There's a lot of tea too, honey, Because I don't know if you saw, but her alleged escort past has been leaked online, which, let me tell you right now, I have friends that were escorts. No shade, no shade, no shade none. But what I'm saying is the layers bitch, the layers bitch, and I'm living for it.

00:15:27
Speaker 3: I'm living.

00:15:43
Speaker 4: I better the girl for or sleep her way to a twenty thousand dollars house.

00:15:48
Speaker 9: Some of those girls are are as course, y'all just don't have a backpage or a website saying saying exactly what you would do for the piece of change.

00:15:58
Speaker 2: Y'all can hear it on the lofe.

00:16:00
Speaker 10: Oh.

00:16:00

00:16:11
Speaker 4: She like like she she's This.

00:16:14
Speaker 2: Is why I love this show.

00:16:16
Speaker 4: They are giving that these new housewives to be like.

00:16:20
Speaker 2: Are they talking about that?

00:16:22
Speaker 4: Yes, yep, yep, Yep, she is honest about this guy.

00:16:29
Speaker 2: So the guy.

00:16:30
Speaker 4: Alleged his alleged identity has been revealed. Yes, he's allegedly the son of this powerful man.

00:16:40
Speaker 2: And she said that.

00:16:45
Speaker 4: In regards to the escort thing, she responded and said, it's not true. She says it's been a rumor for many, many years. She said, she laughs at it, and she knew that she had to address it. With that being said, Kelsey, me and Marka would love to get you on the podcast to interview you.

00:17:06
Speaker 2: I don't know if I believe you.

00:17:07
Speaker 3: Okay, it's okay, I don't believe we are.

00:17:12
Speaker 5: We are the land of the Black Sheep. Honey, you can always sit with us. You are always welcome. We don't give a fuck about the passpeech. We don't care if you are an escort, a stripper, a bottle girl.

00:17:24
Speaker 3: We don't give a fuck. Okay, Just you don't give a fuck that Joe Ellen married her, you know, sister's love. We just we don't care. We don't discriminate.

00:17:39
Speaker 2: I guess what, Listen.

00:17:41
Speaker 4: It also goes to show you that everybody's situation, like you said, when.

00:17:47
Speaker 2: You have these big homes, and I always tell people this. Yees, be careful.

00:17:51
Speaker 4: Being endious of someone's life because you never dealing with I listen, we all will love to live in a house that big.

00:18:01
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's at the expense.

00:18:04
Speaker 4: Of my happiness and lonely loneliness. I just I don't know if it's worth it. But the girl did say she has a boyfriend, she has two boyfriends.

00:18:16
Speaker 5: You know what drove me crazy is the whole time they were calling it polygamy and I'm like, no, like polygamy is if you're married.

00:18:24
Speaker 3: But they cleared that up and they said, no.

00:18:26
Speaker 5: It's polyamorous or whatever. It's not polygamy, polygamy if you're married. So she's polyamorous or in an open relationship or however you want to word it. They have an agreement and arrangement, whatever you want to do. But yeah, I was surprised that that came out.

00:18:43
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, again giving us real reality and I'm here for it. Okay, yep, we got to get into this next broad who uh oh who.

00:18:55
Speaker 2: I love a villain as you look as.

Speaker 5: You know, so do I bitch, And every good story needs a villain.

00:19:05
Speaker 3: Ask Disney, honey.

00:19:07
Speaker 5: Disney makes some of the greatest villains of them all.

00:19:10
Speaker 3: Okay, even we all need a villain.

00:19:13
Speaker 5: Bravo needs to learn that r H O SLC had a great villain and they let you.

00:19:19
Speaker 2: Will go down in history as the greatest. We got againto Joe Ellen.

Speaker 5: Bitch, bitch, look what I put for your name villain.

00:19:33
Speaker 3: And I love it. You know I love a villain. Come on, I'm here for the villains.

00:19:38
Speaker 2: You go first of all, talk about that faith. Gorgeous, gorgeous.

00:19:45
Speaker 5: Honestly, Well, I saw a tweet, but I was gonna post it, but I was like, let me stay. It's the Lord's week. I'm gonna stay, you know, above approach. Someone posted a tweet and said r H O s LC better run, honey, because Rhode Island is taking it.

00:20:02
Speaker 2: Yep.

00:20:02
Speaker 5: And then they said and the cast is far more attractive too, And I was.

00:20:07
Speaker 3: Like, oh, oh, but they're right.

00:20:12
Speaker 2: They are right.

00:20:13
Speaker 3: That cast is stunning. I'm sorry, I'm not saying rh O SLC is you know, I'm gonna keep your mouth shut. But they are all stunning. They are beautiful. Cast, stunning, cast stunning.

00:20:30
Speaker 5: Joellen, Look, I'm gonna do what villains do, and that stick up for the villain because.

00:20:45
Speaker 3: I saw myself.

00:20:47
Speaker 5: I saw myself and her when she said that Rula was coming for her reputation, her job, owing the HR to try and get her fired.

00:21:04
Speaker 3: And I loved that. I lived that and it cost me my job. Actually.

00:21:09
Speaker 5: So when she says that you don't understand what it's like to go through that, yes, Joellen, I do, and I see you, and I'm interested to hear that story, the story between that and you know what all that involves.

00:21:29
Speaker 3: Damn, it's this is crazy. She's also got mom issues.

00:21:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, she barely touched on that, which is also something we're probably gonna see play out through this season. But she's pretty pretty vocal about the resentment she holds to her mother and her childhood. And yeah, I saw unfortunately a lot of similarities.

00:21:59
Speaker 3: We both got issues. We both have someone that tried to ruin.

00:22:02
Speaker 5: Our lives, take away our jobs, assassinate our characters.

00:22:08
Speaker 4: So what you tell you tell me, you guys know, like you said, relatable for sure.

00:22:18
Speaker 2: I agree obviously with everything you're saying.

00:22:21
Speaker 4: And the thing was, Joellen, is she also listen. The show should be called The Rumors of Rhode Island because the beauty of this show.

00:22:33
Speaker 2: And this is why you were on Salt Lake City.

00:22:36
Speaker 4: That season was great because I think for us the audience.

00:22:41
Speaker 2: We kind of love the rumor mill and it's sort of like who've done it? The mystery, what's going on?

00:22:48
Speaker 3: We don't like.

00:22:49
Speaker 4: Things to be so perfectly saved and like or the usual things of like oh, well, I'm mad at you because you said something about me behind my back.

00:22:59
Speaker 3: It's like and that was me. That was like me with Angie cats Navius. It's like, bitch, where do you think we are right now?

00:23:06
Speaker 9: Yeah?

00:23:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, we we want more than that.

00:23:10
Speaker 4: Yeah that Joe Ellen is married to a man who dated her sister first, just.

00:23:19
Speaker 3: Like Lisa Barlow. Honey, just fan, she do you not remember that?
