[Lexi]

So Lindsay's like, amanda, I have two more people. We're gonna have a conversation about a douchebag. And they didn't want the douchebag to hear them talking. Where would they go?

[Ben]

Amanda's like, how many douchebags have you told off in this house? But I wanted everyone to hear those conversations.

[Lexi]

Where do you do it?

[Ben]

And she's so they're finding where Lexi can hide to have this conversation with Jesse.

[Ronnie]

So a man.

[Lexi]

She's like, yeah, I'm not feeling very good, so just, I just want to have like a conversation. You guys like, oh, my God, we're going to have a conversation. Conversation.

[Ben]

So only knows how to do it when she's like, oh, you, you stupid mother.

[Lexi]

Okay, we had a talk. We had a dog.

[Ronnie]

So Lexi's just telling everyone she's sort of holding court there. And she's like, yeah, I'm just like, done with it.

[Lexi]

I'm like, done, like, teaching him. Like, I don't trust him at all.

[Ronnie]

And Amanda's like, like, was there, like a catalyst to this? Then Gabby's like, there was a manicure.

[Ben]

Everybody's like, I do not trust a guy who's gonna get a manicure instead of hanging out with Tiffany and Tiffany's mother and Tiffany's father. That is bullshit.

[Ronnie]

But Lisa, I mean, I do think. I honestly think that Lexi has a point, which is, like, whether or not he got the manicure. The point is that when he said he got a manicure at 9:30pm she was like, you're lying. And then she realized, I can't. You can't be with someone if you think. Your first instinct is to think that they lie. Also, that smile. Too much. Too much.

[Ben]

So Lexi's like.

[Lexi]

Like, I don't think it would be fair to, like, snuggle with him and kiss him all weekend and pretend that I still like him. She gave me the ick.

[Ben]

And they're like.

[Ronnie]

The ick is holding the sickle. Like, that's right. I'm here.

[Ben]

The ickle.

[Ronnie]

Final externation.

[Ben]

So good.

[Lexi]

So Amanda's like, first it was toe sucking, and now it's a 9pm manicure. He needs to keep his fingers and toes to himself. Like, just move on to the next. There's plenty of douchebags. I mean, look how easily I moved on from my. I married my douchebag. My douchebag still trying to impregnate me.

[Ben]

You just hear her mind start, like, sad.

[Ronnie]

So outside, Carl's like, hey, so, Jesse, are you nervous about summer coming to an end? Do you want it to come to a hard stop or a soft stop?

[Ben]

I was just so excited to be here with Lexi. But, you know, like, something feels, like, off. You know what I mean?

[Ronnie]

Yeah, I noticed that when I drove up, when I turned off the calliope music in my van, she seemed a little off.

[Ben]

With you, I haven't noticed anything. Everything's totally fine for me. I mean, everything's great. So are you peeing right now? Yeah, Peeing right now.

[Ronnie]

So Lex is like, okay, guys, I'm gonna go break up with him. And she opens the door and she has this big smile.

[Lexi]

She's like, jessie, you want to talk?

[Ben]

So now it's time for the talk.

[Lexi]

She's like, I think we might need to, like, realign and really, like, chat and, like, a line that we're feeling stuff.

[Ben]

And he's like, okay.

[Ronnie]

He's like, oh, what's going on? Why can't I see you? Is there sun in my eyes?

[Ben]

He's like, no, your lips are fine. You don't need to realign yet. I tell you. I'll tell you.

[Ronnie]

So Sierra comes in, she arrives, and then this. My favorite is these late arrivals, how they get, like, told the news it's like, oh, my God, Sierra. Oh, my God. They're breaking up outside. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. Sierra's like, I don't give a fuck. What. I don't care.

[Ben]

I was like, so is he too busy to take my fucking suitcase up? Because that's what I need from him.

[Ronnie]

So Lexi has a whole thing where she basically says she's looking for a relationship that's deep and she wants to feel connected to the person that she's with, and she just doesn't feel like she's been. They've been able to break into that level. And even though she's tried really hard to get deep and, like, feel like Jesse is her person, she always gives him the benefit of the doubt. She's always trying to.

[Lexi]

How I can make, like, whatever you say make sense in my head. And I just feel like you actually aren't even ready for the relationship that I'm looking for. And I just. I don't know. I just need to be someone like that, and I just can't trust that, like, without any doubt in my mind.

[Ben]

For once, I had something in common with Jesse because we had the same look on our faces. Both of us were like this. And he's like, so I take it you don't want to date anymore?

[Lexi]

And she's like, no, Like, I just need to be like. We see someone that, like, I can, like, trust. You know what I mean? Like, if someone's gonna get a manicure, I wanna know. Like, oh, my God, they're getting a manicure. You know?

[Ronnie]

He's like, but what. What changed between the time we spoke and now manicure?

[Lexi]

Jesse, are you listening to me? I'm trying to communicate it.

[Ronnie]

I mean, it was just a manicure. I mean, was there a little pedicure? Yeah. Did the tech suck my toe?

[Ben]

Perhaps.

[Ronnie]

But it was part of the service.

[Ben]

Was it a man getting cured? Yes. But you know what?

[Ronnie]

I needed the anti.

[Ben]

Not antioxidants, not antidepressants. What do you get when you get, like, syphilis?

[Ronnie]

Biotics?

[Ben]

Antibiotics? Yes. Thank you.

[Ronnie]

Wow.

[Ben]

I'm fucking done. I can't even think of antibiotics. I'm almost 50.

[Ronnie]

Paige Desorbo says this.

[Ben]

Paige had a great episode because Paige didn't have to do. But this all episode, really? She was just laughing at everybody's stupidity.

[Ronnie]

So outside the other part.

[Ben]

First of all, I have a question to ask. Why has nobody just said, jesse, give me your hands? He got a manicure, yes or no?

[Ronnie]

They do.

[Ben]

Very easy to tell.

[Ronnie]

They do do that. They do do that. So Kyle is like, what's going on?

[Lexi]

And Lindsay's like, oh, well, she has the ick.

[Ben]

And the other side, Sierra's like, oh, no, she got the ick. Oh no, that's bad.

[Lexi]

Like, oh my God, the ick.

[Ben]

Ky's like, what?

[Ronnie]

What's the ick?

[Ben]

What's the ick?

[Ronnie]

What I don't get what. What is the.

[Ben]

What is it? They're like, kyle, next time you're up there wiggy wiggying on a record, look at people's faces in the audience.

[Ronnie]

Sierra, look at him real close. Sierra literally says that to him. She goes, you know how when you start DJing, we all said we got the ick. It's like, oh, oh, yeah, okay, that's the ick.

[Ben]

I don't know what it is though. Like, how is that applicable?

[Ronnie]

So Lexi, back to Lexi.

[Ben]

One man's ick is another man's applicable.

[Ronnie]

How much sperm does the ick have? Cuz I got 150 million.

[Ben]

So is this where they had the. Where the producer asked Car asked Kyle what it.

[Ronnie]

Oh, no, it's a little bit later.

[Ben]

I was like, if they cut this part, someone's fired.

[Ronnie]

No, no, no, no. It's coming up. Don't worry. Kyle has several, like, old man moments.

[Ben]

So, Lexi, because the other night I.

[Lexi]

Was like, jesse, do you want to come over and hang out with me and my friend and Tiffany and my mom and my mom's husband who's also my dad? And then you were like, no, I'm going to go get a manicure.

[Ben]

And he goes, oh, I didn't say that. I said, I'm going to go get a manicure.

[Ronnie]

And so she goes, no, but like.

[Lexi]

When you said that, I immediately was like, it was like a God punch where I'm like, he's lying again. And then I was like, well, it's not fair for me to say that he's lying. But then the fact that I thought that he could be doing that, it was just like the fact that the realization that, like, it could be my first instinct and I'm not like, I don't know. All summer just been like, saying, like, I don't want to change because it's like in a relationship.

[Ronnie]

And then I love this.

[Lexi]

She goes, you've changed me. I can't trust people anymore. Since the beginning of the summer, I feel like the light in me is slowly dying. The lip liner is fading just to lipstick. I came in here a girl, a girl with a dream. Am I even living anymore. I don't even feel my own pulse. Does anybody feel my pulse? I walked in here a woman who had such a big heart, she had Bailey alongside her. And now. Where's Bailey? You've changed me. You sent away Bailey. Was Bailey even real? I see Bailey people.

[Ronnie]

I like to think that Bailey was like her imaginary friend from inside out. It's like, bye, Bailey. Bailey's like, you can go on without me now.

[Ben]

Bailey was the happy emotion from inside out. She got better and she got sad and didn't need Bailey anymore.

[Lexi]

So she's like, yeah, because like, I was a good person. But then I was like, but is a girl sucking his toe?

[Ben]

She just looks at him like she just said, by the way, this is two paragraphs of the monologue. We're not even kidding. And she's looking at him at the end like this, like she said something. And he's like, uh, well, I don't appreciate that you said that I'm lying. Cause like, I mean, withholding the truth isn't really lying. So like, how is not telling you the truth the same as lying about something?

[Ronnie]

Yeah, I don't even lie. I didn't even get my toes off, cuz I don't even have toes. So stop calling me a liar.

[Ben]

So she's like, but, yeah, but you.

[Lexi]

Were lying by like, Amish.

[Ben]

He's like, omission. Yeah, I was lying by omission. Okay, but like, it doesn't mean I've lied to you all summer. Okay, Like, I just don't appreciate the way that you're like, calling me a liar because like I said, say things that aren't true sometimes.

[Lexi]

Just like, well, I just. I'm just saying I want to date someone who like, doesn't do these things.

[Ronnie]

He's like, yeah, but like, I just don't appreciate you trying to tear me down and saying that.

[Ben]

He's like, why does he do that? He's like, it looks like he's looking out over the sea to see if like, the ship is coming in. He's like, yeah, so that.

[Ronnie]

By the way, I have to say I. I really enjoyed this whole scene because, like, we give Lexi shit, but I love that she was kind of reading him for filth. And she's just like, yeah, no, you're immature. I can't trust you and you're lame. And we're. I'm way too. I have way too many Instagram followers to be with joking around with someone like you.

[Ben]

I gotta like that too many Instagram Followers. I know that that matters, and I.

[Lexi]

Like that she was. I dated a backcomment. Have a lot of Instagram followers. No one's heard your papa, can you hear me Cover. Okay, no one's heard it.

[Ronnie]

And, like, here's why. I really liked it, because first of all, she sort of said it so, like, authoritatively, like, she wasn't crying. She wasn't hedging. She just was ready. And, like, she saw a red flag. And honestly, we talked about at the top of the show, you know, we see what happens if you ignore the red flags. You wind up like the lollies and the Britneys and the Jacks of the world. And she just cut that. She nipped it in the bud. And I have nothing but respect for that. I mean.

[Ben]

I just like when there's a coup couple and there's no imbalance. They're both so annoying that I have no choice but to be amused. Like, I'm amused by every scene. Like, I don't really hate either one of them. I just think they're both, like, morons. Like, yeah, I read these scenes. I'm like, what are you two even talking about? If you're this bad in front of cameras, what were you like, alone?

[Ronnie]

Yeah, that too. So then just.

[Ben]

I've never stood for that game Wordle. I've never liked it. I feel like all the basic people.

[Lexi]

Are like, oh, my God, what was your word? All scar today, darling.

[Ben]

I hate it. Know that's a fight. I don't mean to fight with anybody in here. I know a lot of y' all love it.

[Ronnie]

It's too soon, because guess what? I did not get Wordle today, and I'm very upset.

[Ben]

Well, you see, Very upset. I've never really been, like, a wordle fan, but I've never wanted to see two people do a wordle more than I have when I watch these two. I want to see these two talking Wordle over at dinner so they kind of win the season is what I'm saying.

[Ronnie]

So, okay, so just.

[Ben]

Oh, sorry, go ahead.

[Ronnie]

I love that. No, you.

[Ben]

You wordle motherfucker. Go ahead. I already turned him now. Go ahead. They're yours. All these.

[Ronnie]

I'm having a. Guys, I saw a big David Copperfield and lost that Wordle. It's a lot. So Jesse's like, okay, well, I'm not really gonna fight you on it, that's for sure.

[Lexi]

She goes, yeah, I didn't think you were going to. You never do.

[Ronnie]

I was like, oh, I don't even know the Larger context of that. But I liked it.

[Ben]

She's saying, like, you never fight for me, you know? And he's like, but gaslighting me into thinking that I actually did really bad stuff. That's like gaslighting. I mean, I told half truths, which are lies, and now I'm a liar. What?

[Ronnie]

Yeah.

[Lexi]

I hope we can, like, move forward and, like, respect each other, because there was, like, a level of, like, emotion when we were, like, emotionally emotioning. So.

[Ben]

Bye. He's like. He just walks back to the guys.

[Ronnie]

Like, yeah, well, I'm single now, so there's that. How would Jesse Solomon cry?

[Ben]

So kind of like, that didn't look good. What happened over there? That didn't look good. You all right, too? Seriously, what's going on?

[Ronnie]

That looked as bad as my report. Reports from my sperm were good, and they were hella good. 150 million sperm.

[Ben]

So he's like, west, can we just go up to the room and chill a bit? Just go chill.

[Ronnie]

It's like, yeah. Can we go in this way? Yeah. To avoid Lexi. No, to avoid Lindsey. She's still pretty mad about that Instagram post.

[Lexi]

So Lexi's like, you guys, like, I'm not even crying. Like, it's crazy right now because, like, I was just going through so many emotions. But, like, you could say manicure to me right now. And I feel like tears should be coming down my cheeks, but they're not.

[Ronnie]

Tiffany's like, don't worry, I'll draw them with some lip liner. So Emeril has something to say.

[Ben]

I like that Tiffany never leaves the room. She's just always standing there with lip.

[Ronnie]

Liner, and now she's actually doing my makeup. So Emeril is like, hey, has that happened before? Like, two people dating at the beginning of the summer? And, like, does it count as dating if you haven't used a gallon of lube and a cat of nine tails?

[Ben]

A cat of what?

[Ronnie]

[Ben]

So then the producer sitting with Kyle and Kyle's like, I'm just trying to follow along here. What's the nick? And the producer's like, okay, okay, let's do a quiz on some current dating terms. Okay, now this part was embarrassing as.

[Ronnie]

Ah yeah, this was a little bit of an indictment on me too.

[Ben]

Yeah, I Know what the ick is?

[Ronnie]

Because we watch Love Island.

[Ben]

That's a supplier of it. In the past.

[Ronnie]

No, Ronnie.

[Ben]

Oh, come on, please. But in the past, you know, occasionally, but I know what that is, at least. But these words I didn't know. So Carl's like. They're like, okay, what is orbiting? Did you know what that is?

[Ronnie]

I assumed it meant that, like, when you slice someone, you pop in some Orbit's gum and chew it and you say, I like you so much, I want to have minty fresh broth for you. What do you think it means?

[Ben]

I mean, I think it's just like when you're kind of around somebody but not saying anything.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, that's what I figured it was. Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's good. Oh, I love the youth. They're actually making things that make sense. It's like, it can make sense. Orbiting makes.

[Ronnie]

Orbiting is such a nicer way of what I grew up calling it skeevy or any.

[Ben]

Okay, so the producer's like, okay, what is roaching?

[Ronnie]

This one I have no idea about. Is this when you won't go away?

[Ben]

Is that when you won't go away? Like, is a roach?

[Ronnie]

Is it like. Is it like when you go to a Papa Roach concert and you're like, hey, I really like. You want to go to a Papa Roach concert?

[Ben]

Are you saying it's when you get a boner and then run away? Is that what you said? Oh, wait, I'm very bad.

[Ronnie]

You are now. You are now a resident expert on roaching.

[Ben]

Wait, can you tell us exit of this show?

[Ronnie]

Can you tell us what roaching means? Wait, what do you. You lay it on and run away.

[Ben]

You lay it on.

[Ronnie]

Oh, the lights come on. Oh, when the lights go on, you run.

[Ben]

I've done that too. I've done that too. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

So would you say all of Emerul's friends are roaches? Because we haven't seen them.

[Ben]

That's funny. Roaching is when they turn the lights on and they run away. Well, shit, we've all been that.

[Ronnie]

I love, by the way, I love you.

[Ben]

Better keep those lights off. It's 1:45 in LA and they're like, lights on. All the gays are like, no, I'm wearing my dark makeup. My dark. I need my light base. We walk out of the streets like this. Like anybody going for a burrito.

[Ronnie]

I. The amount of murmuring in here about that, it sound like we're at like a town hall meeting. And. And I just announced that we're shutting down the Town factory. I was like, I did not.

[Lexi]

I did not vote for you for that. You roach this factory.

[Ben]

I'm never paying another tax in my goddamn law.

[Lexi]

I'll take this to Washington.

[Ben]

Yeah. So he doesn't know shit. And they're like, okay, so roaching. Kyle says, roaching is that when you're interested, but then you just go down a shower drain.

[Ronnie]

You're just talking about jerking off Kyle.

[Ben]

So.

[Ronnie]

The producer then is like, okay, what about zombie? And he's like, oh, is that when you bring old cans of Lover Boy to the supermarket and they recycle it and turn it into new cans of Lover Boy?

[Ben]

He actually gets this one right, which is. Yeah, that's when you've been ghosted. But somebody gets ghosted, but he comes back as a zombie. That one makes sense. That one makes sense. So then we go to Lexi talking. She's still going.

[Lexi]

She's like, you guys, like, our bedrooms share a wall. And, like, I've never felt farther away from the girls than I did this summer, even though I was right next door. It's, like, crazy. Like, I was there and you guys were there, but it's like, Jesse blinded me to all of you. Oh, I wish we got to hang.

[Ben]

Out with you more.

[Ronnie]

Oh, that's too bad, sweetie. See you never. So then Paige walks in. She's like, okay, what's going on? Did I miss anything? They're like, yes, Paige. Like, okay, tell me everything. Just inject it into my veins right now. I can tell there was drama. There's gossip to be had. Should we go to the bed?

[Ben]

Yeah. She's. They're like, oh, my God. Lexi broke up with Jesse. She's like, oh, my God. Do you still have it in you to do it again? I'm gonna put you on speakerphone. Siri, call Craig. You'll need to add a contact information for Craig before I can do that. How do I not know one Craig? Well, that actually works for Paige, so.

[Ronnie]

So then upstairs, Jesse's sad, and his.

[Ben]

I like that they're improving. Siri, she's just downright evil now. She's like, ah, nailed it.

[Ronnie]

Would you like me to break up with your overbearing boyfriend from Charleston? I can do that. So Jesse is upstairs, and he's, like, feeling sad for himself in his twin bed. He's like, oh, I'm sad. And so he's like, it was the toe. I mean, like, not telling her about the toe, Which I guess can be a lie by omission. Yeah. Cause you had another Girl, suck your toe when you're telling the other girl that you like, are in love with her and want to marry her. So, yeah, it goes a lot.

[Ben]

So he's like, yeah, you know, I guess it's just, like, telling half truth and, like, my storytelling. She's not really into my storytelling.

[Ronnie]

So maybe he's more like Craig than we thought. I'm a storyteller.

[Ben]

He's like, she wants to be friends, but I don't know if I want to be friends with someone that makes me liar. Makes me out to be, like, a liar when I'm lying to people. It's bullshit. So Paige is like, oh, my God.

[Lexi]

Is Jesse, like, crying?

[Ben]

Does anybody have a camera?

[Lexi]

Please go film this.

[Ronnie]

Do we have eyes on Jesse Solomon? Is he crying? And Gabby's like, well, you go check on him. You can do it because you weren't here. So you're, like, an innocent. So you can do it, like, pretend like you don't know what's going on. She's like, great idea. I'll be right back, guys.

[Ben]

Meanwhile, Lindsay has announced that she's gonna have this freedom dinner or whatever to celebrate Carl's stupid ass. Still being stupid right in front of Carl's face.

[Ronnie]

Yes.

[Ben]

But to block it, Carl has been like, oh, Lindsay's gonna have a freedom dinner. I'm gonna bring in a sandwich tray and some cookies. So Lindsey sees it and she goes.

[Lexi]

What are these gross sandwiches doing here?

[Ben]

These guys, like, Carl brought that for people.

[Lexi]

She's well, they need to go away, just like Carlton, because I have something improved coming in. She's like, I accidentally one upped him by organizing a sandwich dinner.

[Ronnie]

I was like, I could just end the episode now with the fact that Lindsay has better sandwiches to one up Carl's leftover sandwiches. Like, how amazing is that?

[Lexi]

She's a minor caterpillar.

[Ronnie]

But also, if you're having a freedom dinner, like, why are you serving sandwiches?

[Ben]

Why not?

[Ronnie]

Because I think if you have freedom dinner, it should be something more auspicious than sandwiches. I'm sorry, you can't call it freedom, really? Clearly the crowd is with me.

[Ben]

60% of that crowd is like, I love sandwiches at least.

[Ronnie]

I just. I just love that. I'm like. I'm like, I love that Lexi is an independent woman. People like, yeah. I'm like, I love that she's saying, like, it is. Yeah, a freedom dinner should not have sandwiches. That's the wedge issue.

[Ben]

I'm just not gonna sit here for a sandwich slander. But no, do whatever you Want audience.

[Ronnie]

I just feel like I should be more auspicious.

[Ben]

I don't even know what auspicious means. What does that mean?

[Ronnie]

Like, family, more impressive, more important, more exciting. Like, I love a sandwich, but, like, let's. You know.

[Ben]

Yeah, okay. I'm with you.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, I'll just take the.

[Ben]

Just leave the bread, though. I'll take the bread.

[Ronnie]

Did you mean to serve sandwiches at your freedom dinner, dummy?

[Lexi]

Can we try for a little more auspicious food next time?

[Ben]

So Paige is going to gossip with the guy.

[Lexi]

She's like, what happened? The girls just keep saying ick over and over again. I can't get a good story.

[Ben]

And Jesse's like, I could tell she was off, and then she got here and suggested that I'm a liar. I mean, my God, like, it's so nice to see what a nice, actual relationship looks like. Paige thanks you. And Craig. And she's like, ew. She's like, get better, heroes. So Kyle and Amanda and Sierra come in, and Sierra's like, oh, my God, you're a of traitors. What? You are.

[Lexi]

And Paige is like, what? You guys wouldn't shut up. I came to get juice. I came to the guys. I came to. I came to the geyser of lies himself, Jesse Solomon.

[Ben]

Tell us some more lies, Jesse. So Jesse, who's like, wow, I hate that she called me a liar. And he's like, yeah, well, obviously I told her it's affecting me. Like, my relationship with Sierra doesn't feel like it's in a good place. And then we hung out at the US Open, and now she's mad at me because Sierra hung out with me at the U.S. so you liar. Really?

[Ronnie]

Where did that come from?

[Ben]

They're gonna lie immediately.

[Ronnie]

Immediately. And Sierra's like, what the. And then Carl shows up. People just keep walking into this room. I heard there's some conversations in here. You guys talking a bit softly. So I came in. So Jesse's like, yeah. I mean, I told her like, you know, it's like, sierra, Sierra. And Sierra's like, well, then what? He's like, well. And then she was like, how are you just gonna get over it when she's been rude to me and rude to West? Sierra's like, what? I haven't been rude to Lexi. I've just been standard level cold. Sierra.

[Ben]

I'm just completely uncaring for the girl. Like, who cares?

[Lexi]

And Paige is like, what did you say back?

[Ben]

And he's like, oh, it's just like, I've been friends with Sierra for a long time. Of course I'm going to stand up for Sierra when Lexi is coming for her with bared teeth, ripping her flesh off. That's all. And K's like wait, wait, wait, wait. Is there more to it or is that it? Did she wrote you, bro? What are you talking about? That's a real zombie right there, that girl.

[Ronnie]

So Sierra's like, well I'm going to say something at family dinner tonight. And then Gabby enters cuz there's still someone who has not entered the room. And she comes in and she's like, guys, sandwiches are ready. Smells like Jim in here.

[Ben]

Wes is like, I don't know that that was necessary. So Kyle sees Lexi sitting on the couch and so he's like, hey Lexi. Hey Lexi, it's Kyle. Hi.

[Lexi]

Hi Kyle.

[Ben]

This is me, Kyle.

[Lexi]

Hi.

[Ben]

No, listen, I don't want to weigh in and offer opinions on other people's relationships. Okay, Just kidding. So listen, like your relationship is obviously a bit of a roller coaster.

[Ronnie]

Shut up man.

[Ben]

But you know, I just want to say we got kindness for you. I just want to know what's going on.

[Lexi]

Well like all summer he's been like taking like like chances and like my kindness and like my love and he's like walking all over my love and my kindness. Then he walked over Tiffany's love and kindness and my mom's loving kindness and my dad's love and kindness.

[Ben]

I'm have to cut that short because I can only so much in right now. But how much of this had to do with Sierra being a bitch? Specify what it has to do with Sierra being a bitch.

[Lexi]

I didn't even like talk about it.

[Ben]

Saying you said Sierra's a bitch. You're trying to rip her from arm from arm or something.

[Lexi]

What we didn't even have that was.

[Ben]

Yeah, it's like how dare he.

[Lexi]

We did not even have that conversation about Sierra today.

[Ben]

Cuz at first I was like, Jesse is so full of shit. I can't believe he said he's not gonna lie and then turned around and lied immediately. But then I thought about it and I was like, this sounds exactly like something Lexi would say. Like excuse me, one minute you hate.

[Lexi]

Her and the next minute you're at the US Open pretending everything's okay. Really?

[Ronnie]

I actually fully agree that they talked about it, but I think it was probably like I can't get you Jesse, because you say one thing and then you do another thing.

[Ben]

I agree. Yeah. Yeah you're right.

[Ronnie]

So it's not. It probably, probably was not like. But I think he took it that way and I think.

[Ben]

I think he's gonna use it that way.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, I think she probably was like, it's just hard for me to get a read on you because you say these have truths. Like, you say that, oh, Sierra doesn't like you and that she hates you. But then all of a sudden you're at like, U.S. open. And he's like, she hates that I hang out with Sierra. She's so jealous of Sierra. And she says Sierra is the worst person in the house. Like, that's how it gets translated.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's true. That's true. But don't forget the very end of this episode. Episode either. Which will get you in about three hours. Just you wait. Wise guys comedy. They're like, what the is this?

[Ronnie]

We're orbiting. We're orbiting the end.

[Ben]

So now cut back to Jesse. Jesse's still telling them, like, oh, my God, I'm sorry. He's like. And she's saying, like, all of a sudden you're on good terms with Sierra. Like, she's made my time here terrible, and she's made west time here terrible. Like, you don't have protective instincts. You don't protect me. Does that sound like you made it up? I'm sorry. I'm.

[Lexi]

I'm half.

[Ben]

I'm half in the. Jesse is. Well, I'm total in the. Jesse is an and a in a blowing things upper. But I also believe this is built on half truth. Okay. I can't. I can see her saying this.

[Ronnie]

Well, she pro. And I think that maybe what she probably said was like, now all the girls think I'm a crazy person and you haven't done anything to say to them. She's not crazy.

[Ben]

Here's where I'm coming from. Because Lexi's been doing a lot of press, and in this press, she's making it sound like Ciara has been torturing her. Like, she's hinting. She's like hinting at people to come for Sierra. She's like, you know, on my birthday.

[Lexi]

It was like, really important to me. But then I saw this. Sierra and Jesse went out together instead of coming to my birthday.

[Ben]

And they were like, oh, and after you see this, it's like, why the fuck would they come? You dumped him and said you don't trust her. But she's saying things to get people to come for Sierra. And the con, she's trying to get her millions of people to come for Sierra. I trust this girl.

[Ronnie]

I think there's nothing that Jesse would like more. I think there's nothing that Jesse would like more than to come for Sierra.

[Ben]

Well, look, it's not. My distrust of her isn't even about Jesse because obviously Jesse's a douchebag. My mistrust of her is coming for Sierra because she keeps hitting all this. I don't like Sierra and I don't like it.

[Ronnie]

So I don't. I don't like that. But I can't take in those external elements because I haven't watched them or heard them. So all I can go off of is on this show, and I'm just more inclined to trust the girl over the fuckboy. So I am totally willing to let this all come out in the wash and get. I will take my pitchfork out when it is ready, but right now, I'm sort of aiming at Jesse a little bit. Bit more than Lexi.

[Ben]

All right, fair enough.

[Ronnie]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Okay. So then we go back to Kyle, and Kyle's like, listen, I don't want to play the game in telephone where Jesse says one thing and then I repeat it to you too late.

[Ronnie]

So Paige is like, well, I think you should say something and just be like, I hope you're not upset with me or.

[Lexi]

I don't.

[Ronnie]

Honestly, I really don't care what you say. Just, like, make it really good so I can watch and we can talk about in bed afterwards. Okay, great.

[Lexi]

Thanks. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Hello, everybody. It's dinner time. Welcome to Freedom Dinner. This is the anniversary of me and Carl breaking up, or Carl breaking up with me, in case any of you.

[Ben]

Didn'T read Instagram today. And Carl's like, I didn't look at Instagram, but it was sent to me several times.

[Ronnie]

Don't say that to Lindsay.

[Ben]

Carl's just so adamant, like, oh, never saw it. Totally read it. Yeah, five times.

[Ronnie]

I. I also like that Lindsay's like.

[Lexi]

Okay, I know there's been, like, a lot of talk in this house today and a lot of breaking up. Whatever. I just want to remind everyone I'm the number one crazy over here. Okay. Freedom dinner.

[Ben]

All right, well, thank you for reminding everybody about last year publicly, in paragraph after paragraph that I didn't read, but was that text messages apply money every time they're sent. Okay, so. And Paige's like, yeah, it was long.

[Ronnie]

That was really long. I'm so impressed that someone at your age could type so much.

[Ben]

And you were stating a reality that I don't think was a reality. So thanks.

[Lexi]

Oh, but this was the day we broke Up. No.

[Ben]

Yeah, but, like, why do you need to remind it publicly? It was. Publicly. It was very hard.

[Lexi]

Well, it was an awful, terrible, awful, horrible, terrible.

[Ben]

For me as well.

[Lexi]

It was a little bit more for me.

[Ben]

For me as well.

[Lexi]

Yeah. Well, I was almost gonna go to Marshalls that day, and I didn't, so it was a little bit worse for me.

[Ben]

Me as well. And then, like, you post a year later, like, you're with someone else, you're pregnant, you moved on, and, like, you're harboring this darkness. What is the storm inside?

[Lexi]

I'm not harboring. I'm not harboring. Okay. You're welcome to post on Instagram if you want, but I'm not harboring. I am landlocked. There are no harbors. No harbors. I actually reflected and I cried about how much that I had changed the past year. I had a freedom change. I had a freedom reflection. I looked at the mirror, and I was like, mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's reflected the most of all? It was me. It was me. Who's the most free of all? The mirror said you.

[Ben]

That's. Was I.

[Lexi]

Okay, well, thank you very much, Carl.

[Ben]

Okay, well, you've done a lot this year, and I'm super proud of you. I mean, the Oscar awards were amazing.

[Sarah]

Congratulations.

[Ben]

The Pulitzer Prize.

[Lexi]

Thank you.

[Ben]

Congratulations. Thank you. That was amazing. I rented a van.

[Lexi]

Okay, first of all, I didn't. I don't need you to congratulate me on my Oscar, okay? My work was really wrong.

[Ben]

I don't know that we need to celebrate. What happened happened last year.

[Lexi]

She's like, who's celebrating? All right, everybody, cheers. Cheers. Let's celebrate. Cheers to my freedom summer. Freedom weekend.

[Ronnie]

It's like. Well, this is like a freedom dinner, so it sort of feels like a celebration.

[Lexi]

Well, it's not just us having a tough time. Lexi and Jesse went through a moment. Oh, Lexi. Free. You're free. You're free as well. Freedom's just another word for no more boys left to give.

[Ben]

And Amanda's, like, got her drink.

[Lexi]

Okay, well, guess what. You're all free. You're all. Lexi's free. We're all free. Tiffany's not free.

[Ben]

Tiffany is still under the bed upstairs, so she's like.

[Lexi]

A lot happened. That was a very dramatic day last year. It was humiliating, quite frankly.

[Ben]

Even though last week I almost bit your head off for saying I was embarrassed.

[Ronnie]

She's embarrassed. I pray for her.

[Lexi]

How dare you, Quite frankly. But I am pregnant, and it's the best thing that could have ever happened to me.

[Ben]

And it would not have happened to.

[Lexi]

Me if you ever changed your white.

[Ben]

Pants and didn't discuss me. But you do, you douchebag.

[Lexi]

So she's like, thank you for setting me free.

[Ronnie]

And he's like, well, I can only dream that you're happy, and I'm happy, and I feel like we've accomplished that, and I've accomplished that, and you've accomplished that. I have a van. You have a baby zone of freedom to babies and vans.

[Ben]

Everyone's just, like, dying because.

[Lexi]

And she goes, emeril, you're in this episode.

[Ben]

Why don't you give a speech? And he's like, fuck, no, I'm not gonna give a speech.

[Ronnie]

Lexi's like, well, Lindsay, since it seems like you will be aging out of.

[Lexi]

This show next season, I would like to take the mantle for crazy of the show. So I have a speech like, okay, I would love to hear it.

[Ronnie]

She goes, okay, well, this speech is really only for Jesse. And Jesse goes.

[Lexi]

Stop saying things that aren't true.

[Ronnie]

I didn't say anything that wasn't true when I.

[Lexi]

You're saying I broke up with you because of Sierra?

[Ronnie]

No, I only said you broke up with me because of Sierra.

[Lexi]

I mean, come on. And like, Kyle said you talked about Sierra a lot in the way of us breaking up. But that sentence doesn't make much sense. But you know what I'm talking about. And, like, it's weird, and it has nothing to do with anything else other than you and your actions.

[Ronnie]

I haven't taken any actions except having sex during a manicure that wasn't a manicure.

[Ben]

And Sarah goes, ooh, that's twisted if you heard it from Kyle. Huh?

[Ronnie]

What? No, my sperm aren't twisted. I got 150 million of them.

[Ben]

I was just checking on her.

[Lexi]

Sorry.

[Ben]

And Paige is like, I'll defend Jesse because he wasn't speaking ill of you upstairs.

[Lexi]

He was just saying it's so sad, and he's very upset. He wasn't running his mouth. He was just compulsively lying about you.

[Ronnie]

And Sierra's like, well, we're kind of, like, chatting about what happened and how he's feeling. Then somehow it gets, like, brought up, like, us hanging out on Monday. Like, what's up with that?

[Lexi]

Well, yeah, but all I'm saying is, like, on Sunday, he dislikes you.

[Ben]

And then I was like, okay, well.

[Lexi]

I can see why you're having these feelings, like, of not liking Sierra, right?

[Ben]

Sierra's like, okay.

[Ronnie]

And Jesse's like, no, I. All I Said was I dislike the way our conversation ended. That's all I said.

[Ben]

Yeah, but then you said, I'm disliking her.

[Lexi]

Okay, and then, like, maybe it's your communication skills, but then I go into protective mode for you because I thought we were in a mutual relationship or we protect each other and it's mutual.

[Ronnie]

That was a weird thing to say. I think protection mode. I don't know. Jesse is like, well, I didn't think that you showed up to our dinner and like, you were upset that Sierra and everything. And like, I thought we'd gone to a good place where we could both hate Sierra together. I don't know.

[Lexi]

No, but like, that's not what I said because you were saying you were actually disliking her. And I said, okay, that makes sense because her and west have issues. And like, yeah, this summer, because of you, like, her and I have not been able to be besties. Right, Sarah? Like, it's totally normal that we wouldn't like each other.

[Ronnie]

Sierra's like, you're not my best friend.

[Ben]

She's like, what are you talking about?

[Lexi]

She's like, yeah, because you're trying to pit us against each other all summer.

[Ben]

And he's like, no, I'm not. And she's like, uh huh.

[Lexi]

That's what you're doing. That's what you're doing. Cause I haven't had time with Sierra. And like, right now, based on what you've told me about her, I don't trust her. Sorry, Sierra, but I just don't trust you.

[Ben]

I was like, so you did say all that shit. You did say all that shit. You just said it before tonight. Lexi.

[Lexi]

Happy Freedom dinner. Freedom dinner.

[Ben]

All right, everybody. That brings us to the end of summer. Halsey.

[Ronnie]

Thank you, Vegas, for coming out tonight.

[Ben]

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 Recipe 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.

Every successful business starts with an idea, and on the Best Idea yet, we're obsessed with those light bulb moments. Like how a bored barista invented the Frappuccino during his downtime and then it got acquired by Starbucks. Or how Patagonia's iconic fleece was inspired by a toilet seat cover. On the Best Idea yet, we dive into the untold origin stories behind the products you're obsessed with, and the bold risk takers made them go viral. These are the wild ideas and insights that made Birkenstock the best selling sandals since Jesus and made Super Mario the most played video game in the history of attention span. Yeah, Nintendo almost became a ramen company until Super Mario saved it. New episodes drop every Tuesday. Follow the Best Idea yet on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts.
