Drew and Ralph's Divorce Drama

The episode kicks off with the escalating tensions between Drew and Ralph as they navigate their divorce court proceedings.

• Ralph's Self-Filming Antics:
  Ronnie highlights Ralph's attempt to document himself, stating, "Ralph home videoing himself because the camera crew won't follow his ass is next level Ralph" at [04:01]. This move underscores Ralph's desperation to control his narrative.

• Courtroom Strategies:
  Ben explains the strategic maneuvers by Drew's attorney aimed at discrediting Ralph:
  "Ralph's a serial cheater. He's taken money out of the account. He's been sexing with other women. He's following you and tracking you" [07:06]. This barrage of accusations is intended to sway the court in Drew's favor.

• Unsealing the Case:
  A pivotal moment occurs when Ralph celebrates the unsealing of his divorce case, which Drew finds perplexing:
  "I don't know why he wanted to unseal the case. I feel like that's what the..." [08:42]. This action potentially exposes personal details, leaving Drew anxious about public perception.

Nashville Trip: Tensions Rise

The narrative shifts to the housewives' planned Nashville trip, intended as a bonding experience but fraught with underlying tensions.

• Planning and Personalities:
  The group, including Portia, Angela, Kelly, Brit, Shami, and Cynthia, embark on the trip with varying expectations. Portia hosts a birthday celebration, setting the stage for conflict.

• Room Assignments and Underlying Frictions:
  Issues arise over room assignments, notably with Brit staking a claim to a particular room:
  "Shamia finds the second biggest room and starts humping the bed. She's like, this is mine." [14:00]. This minor dispute foreshadows larger conflicts.

• Guest Appearances and Meddling:
  Angela's surprise appearance and Drew's uninvited presence ignite tensions:
  "Yet, Drew's about to crash Portia's birthday trip, setting up a classic confrontation." [32:15]. Portia confronts Angela about Drew's intrusion:
  "This is my birthday. I'm being bullied on my own birthday." [35:29].

• Hookah Bar Shenanigans:
  Drew's sideline activities at Dennis's hookah bar introduce further drama. Ben notes Drew's evasive behavior:
  "Drew is being shady." [31:57]. Her interactions hint at alliances and ulterior motives, heightening anticipation for future episodes.

---

Clash and Cliffhanger

The Nashville trip culminates in a heated confrontation, setting up a cliffhanger that leaves listeners eager for more.

• Portia vs. Angela:
  The tension peaks when Portia insists on addressing their issues directly:
  "The point of this trip is me. This is my birthday." [35:29]. Angela challenges this approach, leading to public disputes.

• Drew's Unsettled Alliances:
  Drew's alignment with Dennis and her nonchalant attitude about her record deal introduce layers of complexity:
  "Drew is talking to Dennis more than making music." [36:29]. Her actions suggest strategic maneuvering behind the scenes.

• Final Showdown Tease:
  The episode ends on a tantalizing note as Drew's relationship with Dennis and her return to the trip set the stage for explosive drama:
  "So that's the cliffhanger for Nashville. We'll see what happens when Drew shows up next week, which will be a shit show, of course." [37:12].

If you're wondering where part one was, well, go check in the feed and be sure to subscribe. So that way you always get your episodes. But enough of that. Let's get right back into the episode.

[Ronnie]

And then we see on the day of the court hearing, Ral home video Ralph home videoing himself because the camera crew won't follow his ass is next level Ralph. That shit's hilarious. Ralph having his own. This probably his son walking around filming him to use in the show because he can't even get his own camera crew.

[Ben]

I. I loved this like dual like shaky cam situation between the Drew and Ralph. Like the, like this is really a testament to the iPhone. Like I felt like, talk about like anora. I felt like the director of that movie was like, I've got my. I got my next thing planned. We're gonna film Drew and Ralph going to court.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. The sequel Annoya. So he comes out in his little suit and his briefcase. He's like, I'm going to go out and I'm going to go. It's very serious. Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. Where's Douglue Ellen? Where is he? So Drew, he's also got his cousin Ralph or his cousin. What's his cousin's name?

[Ben]

I just saw it.

[Ronnie]

It was cousin Dwight.

[Ben]

Dwight.

[Ronnie]

He's got his cousin Dwight with him. And so now Drew has a home video as well. And she sees his car, so she assumes he didn't leave, but he got Uber. So now she's telling us, you know, this divorce is making it more contentious for us. And I'm hoping that we can mediate. But Ralph definitely is acting like he needs a fight. Look, he has his own camera crew. Son, get inside. It's snack time. No, it's almost done, Mom.

[Ben]

So in Drew's side of this, she has on her shaky cam. She's got her. Her sister Allison, and then she has some guy. He's like. I think an assistant. He's like, a beleaguered man who. This poor guy looks like he just needs to be put into, like, a barkalounger. He is, like, struggling to keep up with everyone the entire time. So she calls her mom, Jeanette. And of course, Jeanette's like, yeah, it's gonna be fine. Whatever. Drew's like, I just hoping. I'm hoping we can make some movement here. And we go back, we see her attorney. I love Drew's attorney. Who's like, okay, here's what we need to do. Get Ralph out of the house, Get Ralph's financial records, and keep the divorce file sealed. Okay? Get out of my office. So that's their plan for today in court.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So she tells us the plan, and then we go see Ralph and his cousin Dwight in their car, and Ralph's like, just try to get. Get me kicked out, you know? I mean, I think that's the goal for the day. Like, get me kicked out of the house. And the cousin's like, what do you mean? From the crib that you pay for? And he's like, yeah, for the crib that I pay for. So, you know, round number two. Here we go. And then Drew's mom's like, everything's gonna be great. I'm sure. I'm so faithful. I've been praying about it. God told me you're gonna win this case. I'm sure everything.

[Ben]

The producer's like, so what? In the documents is so damaging? And Drew's like, oh, I mean, there's definitely more evidence against Ralph than against me. And then this is where we see the attorney, like, a month ago, rattling off all the things, like, Ralph's a serial cheater. He's taken money out of the account. He's been sexing with other women. He's following you and tracking you. You know, all the things you can dream of from a God.

[Ronnie]

Insane. And I love that the how, you know, the lawyer was like. And tracking you. The man was tracking you. She goes, yeah, he was tracking me. So they're saying, is there anything that you're ashamed of in these records, Drew? And she's like, no, no, no, no. Oh, it's me. No, there's no scary details for me. It's all Ralph. And, you know, I'm more fearful for Ralph than for me. So now it's 30 minutes till the court hearing. And so Drew's attorney is like, okay, well, I just talked to opposing counsel. And she goes, yeah, he's got a third attorney now, and Ralph's got a new attorney. And this attorney, let me tell you, is taking no shit.

[Ben]

I love her. She's like, all right, everyone. She's, like, dancing the entire time. She's like, okay, it's about business, okay? Because this is a financial game today. It's a money grab. Ralph's like, yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying, too. She's like, okay, we're going to go in, and we're going to kick ass. So then we see 20 minutes later, and shockingly, Ralph emerges full of joy. His big smile is even bigger than usual, and he's like, I'm telling you, this is better than when I did it by myself. And apparently, they got a little bit of victory, because the victory was that they wanted to unseal this case, which is what happened. I don't know why. Like, I don't know why he wanted to do this. To be fair. Like, I really don't understand. I feel like that's what the. Okay. All I know about sealing and unsealing cases, I've really just learned from Ashley Darby. And as far as I could tell, it seemed like unsealing something was bad. But Ralph's celebrating, which is so Ralph.

[Ronnie]

Well, unless it shows Drew in a bad light, because Drew's able to come on tv, paint Ralph however she wants. And Ralph, I think, has painted himself pretty poorly. I mean, the cameras and the. The tracking and all of that. So he's, I think, probably like, okay, well, if she's gonna do this, and why am I not allowed to say what she did? So it's probably like a tit for tat thing. God knows what it is. Did she cheat? Is he gonna try and make it look like she cheated? If she hooked up with somebody when they were separated or whatever, who knows? Who knows what he's gonna do? But there's something in there that she wants to keep hidden.

[Ben]

Or maybe it's just, like, her financial status or the success of Dropper with Drew, all the. Maybe it's stuff like that. That. That, like, she doesn't want to come out because she's acting like she's, you know, killing it. So Drew is very upset, and she's, like, sort of, like, breaking down in the car and everything. And she's saying that, like, Ralph still gets to stay in the basement because she just wants to kick Ralph out of the house, but he gets to stay in the basement. And she's like, is this a joke? I don't know why Ralph wanted to unseal the case. This is a nightmare. My kids will have to see everything on the. The worst thing would be for my kids to have to see me and Ralph fighting in public. Could you imagine that there's a way for them to actually see us fighting. That they could be like, that could imagine if they could see us fighting for the past three years, that would be absolutely terrible. If my kids could see that, like, if we're on camera, that would just be the worst thing in the world.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So she's scared, but it's happening. And also, he didn't have to provide his financial documents or anything else. So whatever this lawyer did, she seems magical because she basically got Ralph everything that he wanted. And he gets to stay in the basement, and he makes some comment to her. When she gets in the car, she's really upset, and he makes some comment from the lawn, you know, probably still filming himself. And his lawyer. His lawyer is so professional. I love it. She's like, yes. Yes. Nailed it. Nailed her to the cross. Yes, boys. And he makes some comment to her as she gets in the car, and she's like, oh, you just shut up. You just shut up, you idiot. You're a dumbass, Ralph. You're a dumbass. And Ralph's like, finally, we're making progress. Finally.

[Ben]

There's a lot of misconceptions about me and Drew, and I think the biggest misconception is that I don't care for my wife. And the truth is, well, I actually don't care for my wife. That's actually a pretty good mis. That's. That's a conception. That's. I would say that's actually a conception for me. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So he's like, you know, I've done bad things in the marriage, but so has Drew. And we're about to find out what Drew has done. And so Drew's really upset, and I'm upset for Drew because, look, I think Drew's full of shit. But Ralph is a monster.

[Ben]

Ralph is terrible.

[Ronnie]

Ralph is an emotional terrorist.

[Ben]

Yeah, he's terrible. But watching them. Watching them fight is like, this. This whole divorce thing is just, like, makes me chuckle just because they're so ridiculous. I mean, this whole thing, Ralph being in the basement, and he's, like, fighting to stay in the basement. I don't know. They're so. It's terrible for the kids, you know, I feel really bad for these kids. This is gonna be hard for them. But as two people on tv, they are so silly. I can't. So then we go to the airport because it's time to go on our Nashville trip. So Portia's excited and everyone's happy, and they're talking about, well, this is what I think about when I think of Nashville dancing and drinking and da, da, da, da, da. And Cynthia's like, oh, what happens in the girls trip never stays on the girl trip. This ain't Vegas, baby.

[Ronnie]

Here's what I think of when I think of Nashville. Trains of ladies going down streets of bars screaming, woo.

[Ben]

I think of. I think of the last time we were in Nashville, and I just remember, like, it was like every two minutes, those freaking bar bicycles went by the hotel with, like, six girls.

[Ronnie]

That's what I mean.

[Ben]

Is that what you're talking about?

[Ronnie]

That's what I mean. Yeah. That's what I think of every time. Bachelor, bachelorette party is going woo. Down the street. Yep. So Angela is at the Atlanta airport. She missed her flight. She's like, oh, you know, I left the house late. Traffic wasn't accommodating.

[Ben]

Yeah. Also, like, I'm sure production was, like, production through a delay in her way. So just that way she could arrive later as that way they could talk shit about her before she gets there.

[Ronnie]

So there's a producer lying down in her driveway. She's like, oh, for some reason, I was late today.

[Ben]

So then the ladies are in the Sprinter van, and they were talking about how Angela's not there. And Kelly says Angela probably missed the flight because she saw that there was a heat wave in Nashville and she had to go home and get a fan before she could bring her ass down here.

[Ronnie]

It cuts to her in the airport with her little fan. So they're joking about how much fun they're gonna have. And Britt's like, oh, gosh, you know, I've got allergies. I'm stuffed up. And she goes, do you have your adenoids? And she's like, I don't know. I had a nose job. And so Shami is like, oh, you know, I'm. I'm gonna get some stuff done this summer. I'm gonna get back fat gone. I'm gonna get my skin back. My back skin gone. You know, gonna get all that stuff. And Portia's like, I'm not changing anything about this, Bonnie. I was gonna get my titties redone, but then I said, you know what? These men don't even deserve new titties.

[Ben]

She's like. She's like, yeah. These used to be called Coco and Chanel, and now it's just Bob and Ben. I'm honored.

[Ronnie]

I don't know why I'm covering my nose. Bob and Ben. I like that. I don't know why I'm covering my nose for Porsche. Okay, so then they. They go to the house, and it's. It's kind of like an Atlanta house. Looks the same. It's the same style and everything, but they're like, oh, whoa, whoa. And they have a hot bartender guy that gives them drinks. You know, the kind of typical housewives trip stuff. And now should we go look at rooms? So Shamia finds the second biggest room and starts humping the bed. She's like, this is mine. This is mine.

[Ben]

Yeah. And they're all just, like, choosing rooms and everything. And then Portia is like, I just.

[Ronnie]

Want to make sure that each girl has a nice and comfy place to sleep.

[Ben]

Now, I didn't say that all the beds were created equal. I mean, if your bed just happens to be among other beds and that don't think that should be an issue, because it turns out there's, like, bunk beds, and there's one room that has, like, five beds all crammed next to each other.

[Ronnie]

Now the bunk beds look like it was the worst thing. And she's like, haha, someone better pick this room. And then they don't. And then there's a. Yeah, five beds in a room that's not gonna go over very well.

[Ben]

Nope. So that's basically. Then Kelly tells us. Kelly's trying to be funny in her confessional, and she's like, I mean, if I would have known I was gonna be in the room from the movie Kevin and Shrunk the goddamn kids in the attic. They're like, I think he's called Honey, I Shrunk the kids, not Kevin. Kevin Shrunk the goddamn kids in the attic.

[Ronnie]

And she's like, okay, but that was Kevin though, right? And they're like, kevin was from home alone. She goes, oh, my God, Come on now. So now Kelly is asking Portia, how she feels on divorce and her birthday. And she's like, yeah, you know, for me, you know, it's just so rough because for the past three years, which is like an eternity, relationships for me, Me and, you know, that guy. What's his name? Simon. You know, we traveled everywhere, but now I just have to be around girlfriends. You know, after such a lengthy relationship now to just be with my girlfriends. Wow. What a relief.

[Ben]

Yeah. So Cynthia's like, well, girls trips can be kind of tricky. You can't take every girl on a girls trip. Portia's like, yeah, but that's.

[Ronnie]

You know, somebody's just like, are you a totally different person just because we're out of town?

[Ben]

Like, what's up with that? And she means like, or when you're in a group, you're a totally different person. And Brit's like, yeah, Angela texted me, and she said, I hope you're doing well. And, like, the second I saw you, it was like a completely different tune. So, like, I'm like, ah, pick a side. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

How dare she try to be nice to you after an argument.

[Ben]

You're the one who texted you, Sedora, out of nowhere to be like, let's. Like, we started off on the wrong foot. Let's go to.

[Ronnie]

So then she's like, yeah, you know, like, I don't like that. I. I want to see the same version of you that everybody sees. So Angela arrives while they're talking shit about her, and she's like, yeah, you know how you go into a room and you're like, bitches talking about me? Are you all talking about me?

[Ben]

So Angela's like, girls, well, my bag was busted, my luggage fell to pieces, and it's just. It's been a long morning.

[Ronnie]

And it's like, okay, well, we're happy you're here.

[Ben]

You know, we're gonna do a turn up. So she basically, Angela sits down right in the middle of the whole group. And then she's like, so speaking of having a good time, I would like for Drew to come just announces. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

And they're like, wait a minute. Did you invite her? And she goes, well, I anticipate seeing Drew. So, yeah, I did invite Drew because it felt like Drew should come.

[Ben]

Well, we just checked the AccuWeather forecast, and there is a 99% chance of Drew Sedora showing up in Nashville. Back to you, Chuck.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. And she's like, but Shamia. Portia said at Shamia's house they could coexist, so why can't we Just be a mediator. You know, let's. This is my attempt to make a good friendship. This is you doing what production is making you.

[Ben]

Exactly.

[Ronnie]

And I respect that. But you're also gonna get slaughtered for this.

[Ben]

Yes.

[Ronnie]

This is not gonna go well for you.

[Ben]

I respect her. Like, clearly she's been given marching orders and she just walks in with this little smile like, I anticipate that. We'll see, Drew. Just like, yep, I'll do it. I'll do it. I'm new on the show. I understand I gotta do these things. Yep, here I am.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, it's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappin's commercial.

[Ben]

At 24, I lost my narrative, or rather, it was stolen from me. And the Monica Lewinsky that my friends and family knew was usurped by false narratives, callous jokes, and politics. I would define reclaiming as to take back what was yours. Something you possess is lost or stolen, and ultimately you triumph in finding it again. So I think listeners can expect me to be chatting with folks both recognizable and unrecognizable names about the way that people have navigated roads to triumph. My hope is that people will finish an episode of Reclaiming and feel like they filled their tank up, they connected with the people that I'm talking to, and leave with maybe some nuggets that help them feel a little more hopeful.

[Ronnie]

But Molly, well, she dove headfirst into a world of no strings attached sex, secret rendezvous, forbidden affairs, and unforgettable adventures. And together, we tell every juicy detail.

[Ben]

[Ronnie]

[Ronnie]

Everyone has that friend who seems kind.

[Ben]

Of perfect for Patty. That friend was Desiree until one day.

[Ronnie]

I texted her and she was not getting the text. So I went to Instagram.

[Ben]

She has no Instagram anymore.

[Ronnie]

And Facebook. No Facebook anymore.

[Ben]

Desiree was gone. And there was one person who knew the answer. I am a spiritual person, a magical person, a witch. A gorgeous Brazilian influencer called Kat Torres. But who was hiding a secret from Wondery. Based on my smash hit podcast, from Brazil comes a new series, Don't Cross.

[Ronnie]

Cat, about a search that led me to a mystery in a Texas suburb.

[Ben]

I'm calling to check on the two.

[Ronnie]

Missing Brazilian girl, maybe get some undercover crew there.

[Ben]

The family are freaking out.

[Ronnie]

They are lost.

[Ben]

I'm Chico Felitti. You can listen to Don't Cross Cat on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Ronnie]

So Portia's like, well, I'm being cool about it, but it's like, you know, I mean, who else invited. Who else invited themselves? She tells us, like, this lady's out of her goddamn mind. You know, like, who does that? And she goes, well, I'm not letting nobody or nothing be bigger than me on my birthday. And they're like, okay. So Kelly's quiet. And they're like, why are you so quiet? She goes, I'm just seeing how far my stylist is because he brought all of my looks for me, so he better get here soon. By the way, did you hear Kelly was, like, six figures behind on her waffle place rent?

[Ben]

Oh, geez.

[Ronnie]

That was the other news of the week.

[Ben]

Oh, come on. Is nothing sacred anymore?

[Ronnie]

Jeez, God, protect the waff waffles.

[Ben]

Always protect the waffle. Do you think, by the way, with this. This moment here that they highlight of her, you know, like, on her phone seeing, like, where her stylist is? Later on, as we'll get to, there's more stylist stuff. Are they setting up a giant rift between Kelly and her stylist and Brit? Is this what's happening here?

[Ronnie]

I think so, yeah. They're starting the old classic. I loaned her my stylist, and she never paid. She never paid for the stylist.

[Ben]

This is. We're. I'm sensing something, because there's no reason to include a moment of Kelly checking her phone to see where her stylist is. Like, that stuff that does not make it to the show normally.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. Okay, so now we move over to Angela, seeing these girls shopping. Okay? And she goes, so you guys were doing some shopping in the mall when I saw you, Kelly and Brit. And Kelly's like, yeah, we did do a little something. She. You were definitely duck and dodging, from what I remember, she goes, oh, well, I was just trying to lay low. And Britt's like, girl, you never lay low in demons on a Saturday.

[Ben]

So Britt's like, me and Kelly run.

[Ronnie]

Into Angela at Neiman's, and she had on her granny glasses and her hair a mess.

[Ben]

And Angela's like, no. When I saw them, I actually spoke to them. I walked up to them and I said, hi.

[Ronnie]

Britt's like, yeah. I said, angela, is that you, girl? And she started hiding in the clothes. So fucking funny, imagining Angela just jumping into the racks of clothing.

[Ben]

Yeah. She's like, no. I was. Open arms. I was like, hey, what's going on? And then I picked up some pleather pants nearby and started fanning my face with them. It was just a typical Saturday.

[Ronnie]

So they're like, did she get some work done or something? So is this when her face was really big that she was trying to hide? Her face must have been.

[Ben]

Maybe it had something to do with the. Yeah, the Botox. The Botox swelling.

[Ronnie]

That's funny. So she's like, whatever. Britt's like, I just saw you since. For the first time since peace brunch. So I gave you a hug. And she goes, and I was receptive to your hug. And she goes, but was that real or not real? She goes, I'm not fake. You know, if I show love, I mean, the love. And she goes, that's fair. And so Portia's like, oh, you don't hold on to stuff, huh? And she goes, no. And so then we see the olive branch moment, and they just let it go. So now they're getting ready for their activity. They're all, you know, whatever, getting ready. Oh, so there's. They're like. There's gifts or something, right?

[Ben]

It's like the afternoon they're getting settled in, but like a point, something that happens that when it happened, I thought it was, like a nothing little moment. They all have, like, pillows. They're like pillows that have, like, affirmations on them or something. I was like, not even. I wasn't even paying attention. I was like, oh, there's a pillow. Like, who cares? And so, Brit, there's like, a pillow that says, all are welcome here. And so Angela. Angela sort of, like, grabs it, and they, like. They sort of tussle over, and they're, like, laughing. You're like, okay, it's fun. A fun and games moment, but it actually becomes an issue later on. So I'm just flagging it here as A dutiful recapper.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. And Brittany is like, well, I brought locks just in case anybody wants to get funny. And Kelly says, well, I brought some sage and security in case anybody wants to act a fool. So try. Try that. I love that she's flying her security to Nashville.

[Ben]

Yeah. I would have liked it if she. If, like, Brit had brought, like, actual locks, like, smoked salmon. She's like, guys, I rotlocks in case anyone gets wild with me. You want some smoked fish on your face? Because you're about to get some. So.

[Ronnie]

So Kelly is definitely spending. I mean, she brought security. She brought her own glam. That's a lot for a season one.

[Ben]

Well. And that's why she's in a waffle pickle. So the ladies are. So. They're FaceTiming in. Everyone's saying hi to their booze and everything. You know, all that. This bullshit that they always make everyone do on. On these shows. Check in with the fam. And then Shamir facetimes Gerald. And Gerald going to Target for the first time in, like, I don't know, 20 years or something. He seems like he hasn't been there in a very long time. And he's like. He's amazed. He can't believe it. He can't believe everything.

[Ronnie]

He's like, I've found pure art in a Target. Her name is Joanna Gaines, please.

[Ben]

He's like, I don't know who Nate and Jeremiah are, but their towels are fabulous.

[Ronnie]

They look like they hate each other even in pictures, but God damn it, I love their comforters.

[Ben]

I keep looking for the second floor because everything seems to say up and up, but there doesn't seem to be anything up there.

[Ronnie]

And Britt talks to Mike and tells him the gossip. And then Angela's FaceTiming drew. And so Angela's like, okay, well, the vibe is good, so everybody knows that you're coming. She goes, okay, well, I'm not sure when I'm coming because, you know, I had court, so it's very difficult for me. It's very difficult. And she's like, well, don't worry. I'm securing your piece. But don't we see that Drew's somewhere else? She's at, like, an open opening or something.

[Ben]

It shows up a little bit later. But like, yeah, Drew, in this very sensitive time, we will find out later, is going to go to a hookah bar. A hookah bar started by Dennis, because Dennis is a Renaissance man.

[Ronnie]

Oh, it's a hookah bar opening. It's a Dennis opening. Oh, that's even worse. She's not on Portia's trip, and instead she's going to Dennis's.

[Ben]

That's why I said it was a passive aggressive plan, because, yeah, she knows what. She knows what she's doing. Yeah. So Angela is basically saying, yeah, I'm gonna secure your piece. Okay. So then it starts to rain really hard, which I loved. I was like, ugh, this seems like a dream to be in that big old house while it's raining outside. I love it. So they're all getting ready. And so Paris is Kelly's Silas, who we met last week, kind of like in that he sort of has that look of, like, pink meets Tabitha meets. I forget who else we threw in the mix, but he's.

[Ronnie]

He's Gosselin. The Gosselin lady.

[Ben]

Yeah, I love that he's a mix of all the icons. So Para's like, okay, so what do you have going on tonight? She's like, well, maybe a mechanical bull. And if we're gonna do a bull, then I probably shouldn't do a dress. He's like, oh, never rode a bull with a dress bond before. She's like, I mean. He's like, I mean. So she tells us that she doesn't go anywhere without a glam squad. And Paris is her stylist, and he's.

[Ronnie]

Like, your nipples done pop out. And so Kelly's like, well, you know, I believe in charity, and Brit doesn' stylist, and she's really been going through it, so I wanted her to know that she supported. So I recommended Paris to her, and I thought that would be fun. Now, this is careful wording, like you said, there's something fishy here. She said, and I recommended Paris to her, meaning you got to pay for Paris. Where Britney's probably thinking, oh, she said I could use her stylist to make me feel better.

[Ben]

Yeah, this is going to be an issue, and I can't wait. It seems like the perfect petty issue for 2025. So now they all come outside, they're in their cowgirl looks and everything, and they're gonna. They're gonna be going there. So Cynthia says. She says, like, so, Portia, you're in a good space. Angela said you all did affirmations.

[Ronnie]

And she's like, yeah, Angela would talk about affirmations.

[Ben]

And then the one she got, I didn't like it. And since she physically fought me for.

[Ronnie]

The affirmation, and she's, like, very aggressive to get her piece.

[Ben]

I mean, I'm assuming this was about that pillow that had the affirmation.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, that's the affirmation pillow. She's like, yeah, she was fighting over the affirmation. And she's like, this is my birthday. This is my birthday. I'm being bullied on my own birthday. And Cynthia's like, can we just have fun tonight? She goes, well, I choose peace. And I'm telling you right now, I'm not going to make a thing out of anything. Oh, this is Portia girl. Portia has like six girls as backup and she's going to be drinking. Portia will be making an issue. Okay.

[Ben]

Yes, yes. So they meet up with this whole little gaggle of people that Portia wants to have on the show. And Portia's like, well, I invited my sister and some other super special girlfriends. I don't know all their names, but they're cool. And that just like means a lot.

[Ronnie]

That they flew all the way from.

[Ben]

Nashville for one night. And then we see on screen that it takes an hour and five minutes. She makes it sound like they flew in from Paris.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So then they ride the bull. Everybody takes their turn riding the bull and getting thrown off. Wacky. And all I think is back pain.

[Ben]

And by the way, yes, I think back pain. And also I. What I did not like is that you're supposed to do it with one arm, one hand, not two hands. And so like Shamia and Kelly have these really good, you know, they have really good numbers because they use both their hands. And that's cheating.

[Ronnie]

It is. You're not allowed to use two hands on a bull ride thing.

[Ben]

I mean, I, I mean you can do it, but like the people who were flung off after seven seconds were doing, they were doing a one handed one. I think that's like the proper thing is they do this and then the one, the ones who held on with both their hands got to last longer. And I just don't feel like that's fair. I feel like they're in a different category. They're in the two handed category, the cheating category. Just. I just want to fly.

[Ronnie]

All right, well, good. Let's, let's take them down.

[Ben]

Let's just, let's just, let's just have that moment. Thank you.

[Ronnie]

So now it's eating time and we know it's gonna go bad because Portia says this is the best birthday ever. And Monetta's like, wait a minute, where is Drew? And then we see Drew at Dennis hookah bar and there's bottle service girls and they're holding Up a sign that says, album coming soon.

[Ben]

A photo album on your phone. So Drew is like, tonight I met crew to celebrate that, we got offered a record deal with Connect Music, and Drew is Dennis not even there. She FaceTimes Dennis, and she's like, hey, thanks for the bottle. Thanks for the bottle, bro. So, I mean, she is. She's going to Dennis's establishment on Portia's birthday party weekend after. She's already been invited by. By what's her face, Angela. Like, Drew is. She is being shady. She's being really shady. And you know what? I'm ready for it. Good job, Drew.

[Ronnie]

Why?

[Ben]

Portia didn't invite her.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, Portia didn't invite her. If Portia's not going to be her friend, then go on, do your Drew thing. I mean, go do your Dennis thing, I guess.

[Ben]

But she's still going to go. She's still going to go to Nashville. And then she'll be like, oh, sorry, I was just at Dennis's hookah bar last night. It was just a really long it. You know, she will. Yep.

[Ronnie]

So Drew's like, you know, core was just a lot. So I just wanted to take this moment to celebrate. And she's telling Dennis, oh, it's so sweet. It's so great to be celebrated through all the trauma. So then back in Nashville, Portia announces, yeah, Drew wasn't invited, but apparently this one down here at the end, she's actually having her crash my birthday trip. And then her girlfriend's like, oh, wait a minute. That is so rude. Who does that?

[Ben]

Well, the energy you gave me, it was okay. Portia's like, no, you pressured me. She's like, I pressured you? That's getting bullied. No, I didn't pressure you. She's like, no, you're forcing her on my birthday trip. And I'm not gonna be a mean girl to her.

[Ronnie]

I even picked a room, and I.

[Ben]

Was gracious enough to give her not.

[Ronnie]

One, but two beds.

[Ben]

Lucy hits the pipe, and she's like.

[Ronnie]

They got to the beds. Yeah. And Angela says, but I thought the point of this trip was to put our differences aside. And she's like, no, the point of this trip is me. This is my birthday. It's my birthday. And she's like, but it's a perfect opportunity to lay our issues. And everyone's like, no, no, no. Don't try that shit. No, ma'am.

[Ben]

I'm sorry. I had to look up what Connect Music was, because that's where Drew Sidora got her quote. Unquote record deal. And I just wanted the website and looks pretty much like it's a thing you sign up for and looks. It looks kind of like a rev share kind of thing. It is. It's literally an 80, 20 royalty split. I don't know. Like, she's acting like she just signed with, like, Sony Music, and it's like she. She signed up for, like, a service to distribute her music, I think.

[Ronnie]

Oh, I know.

[Ben]

I'll do further. I'll do further research because I don't want to be totally, like, she didn't do anything. I don't want to totally discredit Drew because, like, you said, her album did do well. So, you know, but, like, she's. To me, I was like, what? When we're saying that Drew got a record deal, I was like, why do I feel like she is overstating what she really did that says you can apply request an invitation to be part of the service? And I feel like they probably requested invitation and they got in and.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, that's what. That's what it looks like. Yeah. So, yeah, it's one of those things, like, when you're in a podcast and you go to, you know, like, we were on for years, you sign up at a network, and then they put you on all, like, itunes and everything like that. So you're distributed wherever you get podcasts.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's funny.

[Ronnie]

She's like, we got a deal. I'm here to celebrate our deal with Connect Music. Girl, you signed up on the online.

[Ben]

I know. Like, that's what I did to release those Countess Luann songs. Seven years ago, I just signed up on, like, a service, and I was like, here, put it on itunes.

[Ronnie]

That's probably the best way to do it with a lot of music, right? Especially if you have an audience that can go listen to it already. Like, if you're on Housewives or something, maybe that's the best way.

[Ben]

Yeah, for sure. Not shading the process, just shading the celebration.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, we got an. We gotta. We gotta sign to a deal, you guys. I. E. Signed. I. E. Signed. It's good.

[Ben]

So anyway, back to this issue here. So Angela is mad at Portia, and. Or Portia's mad at Angela, and she's like, it's my birthday. And she's like, well, I feel like it's the perfect opportunity to lay your issues on the table. Everyone's like, no. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

So Portia says, I thought she was, like, demure, but she's not. She's demanding and very stressful. And she says, so what kind of glue is on your wig, sweetie? You're not understanding. And she goes, just talk to me like I'm five. And she goes, well, no, I'm gonna talk to you. Like, however old you are at that age, 55, and you brought this energy, and now the whole table is like, where is she? So you should have kept your mouth shut, because we had a wonderful day before this.

[Ben]

Well, on FaceTime, Portia should have just told me, no, but Drew can't, like, said, she should have said, drew can't come. So don't act bold now just because you got your little friends here. I wear a size 12 shoes stand. I stand on my own two feet.

[Ronnie]

So now one of the friends is like, wait, what's going on? And so Drew. Portia tells him that Drew's been undercover, and she's been, you know, bullshitting with Portia. And she's like, and now our work is ended. And whatever she's got going on with whomever is also her personal business.

[Ben]

And Lauren's like, I mean, it's talking to. Like, it's talking to Dennis more than making music. Like, that's what allegedly it is. And Portia's friend is like, yeah, well, she' Suck some dick. Everyone's like.

[Ronnie]

Oh, no, that's a bit much. I'm Bre and I stand up for people who have been accused of sucking dicks. Now. That's my. That's my niche. And so Porsche is like, well, Drew and Dennis, I don't know what they've done, but fellatio is his thing. And if there's a girl, I'm like, how'd you mess with her? And he's like, no, she just gave me a head. She just gave me head. That. That girl just gave me head. So that's how he keeps his body count well balanced. I'm not going to say low.

[Ben]

So that is the. The cliffhanger for Nashville. So we'll see what happens when Drew shows up next week, which will be a shit show, of course. Anyway, thanks, everyone, for being here, and we will catch you on the next episode. And don't forget to go to watchwalkrapins.com to get your tickets. Tickets to our final shows of our tour.
