Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Stacy & Kierna’s Awkward Lunch Summit

• Cheese-Gate:

  • Stacy and Kierna’s lunch is deeply awkward, starting with Stacy repeatedly ignoring that Kierna can’t eat cheese. (02:43–04:25)
    • Memorable line:
      • Kierna: “I don’t eat cheese, Daisy.”
      • Stacy (persisting): “Wanna try the burrata just in case you do eat cheese? I’m allergic.”

• History & Tension:

  • The hosts recall a history of petty grievances, with flashbacks to previous seasons and how quickly friendships sour.
  • Brandi: “I just loved seeing burrata weaponized in this way.” (03:48)
  • The fight shifts from food to feelings, with accusations about turning on each other at reunions and past events (04:28–05:29).

• Altercation Allegations & “Chin-Check” Drama:

  • Kierna claims Stacy “weaponized” a previous altercation; hosts clarify Stacy never actually called her violent but tossed off a snarky “don’t chin check me” due to Kierna’s prior boasts.
  • Ben: “She was just kind of fudgeing with you based on your previous, you know, stupid dust up scandal.” (07:18)

• Resolution Attempt:

  • Both pledge to ‘go straight to each other’ with any new rumors instead of involving the group—a classic Housewives truce. (10:37)
  • Quote:
    • Stacy: “Can you give me the benefit of the doubt going forward? Can we just do that?” (10:37)

---

2. Potluck Prep & Potato Salad Discourse (11:28–15:47)

• Giselle, Ashley, and Wendy’s Dinner:

  • Much giggling over menstrual woes, then talk turns to Angel’s plan for a “cowgirl energy and sisterhood” trip to Colorado, which the hosts predict will backfire. (12:07–13:24)
    • Brandi: “She already tried to do her little yoga thing at the beginning of the season, and no one liked it. This is just not gonna work.” (12:53)

• Potato Salad Wars:

  • Detailed (and increasingly absurd) discussion on regional potato salad recipes: American (mayo-heavy), German (vinegary, mustardy), Korean (with apple and sweet elements).
  • Brandi: “Did anyone even try her potato salad this episode after all that talk?” (14:58)

---

3. Angel’s Rental Drama & “Eviction” Gossip (15:48–18:52)

• Dishing the Dirt:

  • Wendy reveals the ‘tea’—Angel allegedly needing a Potomac home that looks like $50K/month but only wants to pay $2–3K. The ladies cackle over the seeming mismatch, setting up the running gag of Angel’s “top tier WAG” status vs. actually getting evicted. (16:37–17:19)
  • Tom: “Angel, you have been evicted. Didn’t you tell us you was top tier WAG? This is not top tier WAG. Where’s Taylor Swift? She is top tier WAG.” (16:27)

• Bravo Hypocrisy:

  • The hosts poke at the double standards: many Housewives rent and front on TV.
    • “Just be careful who you throw stones at when you live in a cardboard box.” (17:50)

---

4. Potomac & Ponies Potluck Party (19:05–22:07)

• Venue Shade & Potluck Fails:

  • Held at a random indoor soccer space.
  • Wendy and Giselle’s co-hosted event is compared: Wendy throws glam events; Giselle is famous for low-budget ones. (19:44)
    • Giselle throws shade about Popeyes chicken being brought as a potluck dish; hosts defend it.

• Catfish as a Recurring Read:

  • Ashley brings catfish “because it’s a running theme in our group”—cue montage of past catfish drama, mostly targeted at Angel. (20:45–21:25)

• Angel as Bravo Outsider:

  • Ben & Ronnie riff on how Angel enables her own outsider status by reacting to shade and not “playing the game” of brushing things off.
    • Ben: “If you don’t act like Teflon … they finally get you on a bigger thing, and then they do break you down.” (21:25)

---

5. Late Arrivals & Angel’s Flustered Defenses (22:24–34:48)

• Angel & Bobby’s Delayed Entrance:

  • Bobby’s brusque “We’ll get there when we get there” sends the group into a tizzy, with several trying to paint him as having a temper. (22:49)
    • Ashley: “That Bobby. I think he’s got a temper on him.” (23:17)

• Timo’s Debut:

  • Stacy’s elusive husband Timo finally appears, endures awkward jokes about his existence, and has his German-ness discussed.
    • Ashley (jokingly): “He’s kind of old and pasty, which, not gonna lie, kind of turned me on.” (26:26)

• More Shading Angel:

  • Conversation circles the timeline of Angel’s rental moving out, with the group questioning her story and hinting at eviction.
  • Wendy: “They were saying you were evicted, girl. I’m just gonna get right to it. You’re addicted [evicted].” (34:29)
  • Ashley attempts to question Angel’s mothering by pointing out confusion over moving dates, hoping to trigger a defensive reaction (33:57).

---

6. General Potluck Chaos and Conclusions (27:54–35:42)

• Food Shade:
  • The group universally trashes Stacy’s potato salad, with only a child expressing approval (28:07).
• Kids Distract (and Direct):
  • Comic relief as Ashley bribes her son Dylan with tug-of-war, and Wendy’s daughter Cam calls out her mother for swearing (29:13).
• Social Maneuvering:
  • The women jockey for narrative control—pivoting blame from Angel to Stacey, weaponizing “as a mom...” and dropping new rumors just as Angel arrives (34:29).
• Angel’s Weak Defenses:
  • By the end, Angel is still at a loss, vaguely insisting their moving troubles are just part of NFL family life, but not convincing anyone.
  • Brandi: “The worse she is as a housewife, the more I’m amused by her because she’s just so bad at it. So bad.” (35:04)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Kierna, on cheese (03:08): “I do not eat the burrata.”
• Brandi, on passive-aggression (03:48): “I just loved seeing burrata weaponized in this way.”
• Tom, on hypocrisy (17:50): “Just be careful who you throw stones at when you live in a cardboard box.”
• Wendy, to Angel (34:29): “They were saying you were evicted, girl. I’m just gonna get right to it. You’re addicted.”
• Brandi, on Angel (35:04): “The worse she is as a housewife, the more I’m amused by her because she’s just so bad at it. So bad.”

Tone, Style, Energy

Ben and Ronnie are snarky, quick, and referential, always leaning into inside jokes and meta-commentary about Bravo’s reality machinery. Their playful mockery, sound effects, and zingers keep the recap as entertaining as the show itself, never taking the drama (or the cast) too seriously.

---

Summary Takeaway:
This episode was all about Housewives weaponizing food (burrata, catfish, potato salad), group suspicion over who’s “real” (from marriages to mansions), and a relentless — but loving — skewering of every Housewives tactic from shade to fake truces. The hosts’ gleeful commentary reminds us that, on Bravo, the more ridiculous the drama, the better.

[Brandi]

Hi everyone. Welcome back. This is part two of a two part recap. 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. Okay, so now we go to Stacy and Kierna, who are going to try to mend fences. So Stacy, they they're gonna meet for lunch and Stacy tells us, Michelle Obama teaches us that when they go low, we go high. So I'm going to take a gummy and go high and meet K today.

[Tom]

So tense lunch with Stacy and K. Here we go. So Stacy's like, well, I don't know what you like. I don't know what you feel like today. Anything without cheese. Okay, well we have to start with burrata. Do you like burrata? I don't Eat cheese, Daisy. Oh, you don't eat cheese. How did I not know that about you? Don't worry, we'll just get burrata. I don't eat cheese, Stacy. Okay. Okay.

[Brandi]

Yeah. Okay. Okay. Well, do you want to try the burrata just in case you do eat cheese? I'm allergic. Okay. All right. You ever actually tried cheese, though? Are you sure you're allergic? You know, Karen is like, I had a whole arc about diarrhea my first season. Where do you think it came from? I do not eat the paratha.

[Tom]

So Karen is like, yeah, we do need to have a discussion, because this is getting ugly. And then they start ordering, and guess what? Stacy orders burrata.

[Brandi]

Of course.

[Tom]

Of course she does. And he's like, I just told this girl, I don't eat cheese. Then order your own fucking appetizer. And did you notice they ordered it? She ordered burrata and a pizza.

[Brandi]

Because that. I did notice that there was a pizza. Just lingering there, maybe it was like a red sauce pizza. But I. I did clock that, and I thought that was hilarious. I just loved seeing burrata weaponized in this way. It was such a funny, passive aggressive move to just, like, insist on the burrata to the lactose intolerant person.

[Tom]

So funny. She ordered burrata and then a pizza, and Kieran just orders a. She's like, can I have the faro salad without cheese? I just want to make sure it doesn't have cheese because I'm allergic to cheese.

[Brandi]

That's crazy. I can't believe I never knew you were allergic to cheese. If I had known that before we ordered. You did know that. I literally told you. Told me what? That I'm allergic to cheese.

[Tom]

You are.

[Brandi]

Why don't you ever tell me?

[Tom]

It's like, well, I don't think it's crazy that you don't know that I'm not into cheese. Because the dynamics of our relationship at this moment is not great. And it's disheartening because I feel like what I like to think about our relationship from the top is that we started at Lake Norman when nobody wanted to share a room with us, but then we shared a room. Do you remember? Yeah. When Stacy said she would be honored to bunk with uk? I do remember. Remember this season when you turned on her? Or remember at the reunion when you turned on her for no reason because the other girls were doing it. I do, too.

[Brandi]

Exactly. So Kieran was like, so when I.

[Guest]

Showed up at that. At that Bloom ball, like, you were so nasty to me.

[Brandi]

And then we See footage from like the first episode where like, Stacy, I guess, is like, hello. Okay? And Karen's like, oh, you're not gonna talk to me. You're not gonna talk to me. You're not gonna talk to me. And Stacy's like, oh, my God, get out of my face.

[Tom]

And she goes, well, you have to keep it in chronological order. What happened to Giselle's house? She goes, well, at Giselle's house, I was very upset. She was?

[Brandi]

Yeah.

[Tom]

You screamed at me and you said you're a phony and a fraud.

[Brandi]

And we see flashback to Kieran and being like, you lied on national tv. You looked in the camera, you tried to cry about it. You couldn't even squeeze it. You're out of that BS eye. Like, why are you so mad about the tj, you know, dust up? Which, by the way, still has never turned into anything. It's now been a few months since the premiere and TJ has yet to produce any sort of court documents or, or evidence of any of this bullshit, so.

[Tom]

Well, he provided that that whack, you know, home printed evidence that was supposed to be sold. Yeah, but here's the thing with Kierna. She's not necessarily wrong, but she's also doing the same thing. This whole, oh, I broke up with Greg. Well, I'm giving him another chance. Well, I bought myself a as woman power because, you know, I'm not going to let Greg control my life because we're broken up and just lightly dating. Oh, guess what? Greg bought my condo, though. Come on, Karen, you're just as dishonest about your relationship. So this is projecting.

[Brandi]

Exactly. That's why she's so mad at Stacey. So Stacy's like, well, please explain to me why the next time I see you, I'd be like, hey, girl. Hey. I mean, are you kidding me?

[Guest]

She goes, well, you weaponized my altercation when I was assaulted against me on the railer.

[Brandi]

And Stacy goes, because every time I see you, all you do is scream at me and do all this kind of stuff. And I just, I don't know what this is. And she starts doing this like, hand in the face kind of motion or whatever and cancel.

[Tom]

She makes it like a punch thing. Like, you're like, I'm gonna punch you. And she's like, I did not do that. I did not do that. But then we see the clip and she's like getting her finger in her face and all this. But also this whole thing of. You weaponized my altercation. No, she did not. And we see the clips of what she's talking about, and it's when she's going for Stacy on the van and Stacy's like, well, don't chin check me, because I know you can do it. She wasn't even referring to the fight. She was referring to the fact that you just had a chin checked fight. Literally.

[Brandi]

Well, a fight about she checked and she's not being like, oh, don't chin check me because you're violent. It wasn't like it came out of, like, in a vacuum. It was because you actually said that you chin checked angel. You said you chin checked angel. And everyone's like, whoa, did you chin check angel? And then, and then you backed up on it, then you said, yes, and then no, what if I said it? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So she was just kind of like fudgeing with you based on your previous, like, you know, stupid dust up scandal or controversy. It had nothing to do with her saying, oh, you're violent. She just was, like, hitting a sore spot for you because she knows. She knew she could because you were coming for her first.

[Tom]

Yeah. And so we see the flashback work here, and they're saying, did you pay tj? Did you pay tj? Don't do me, because I know a tired asshole when I see one. And here's the other thing about fighting with kids. Stacy never calls her a hoe or a. Or BDS eyes. And all the stuff that Case says when she's mad, you know, all Stacy says is, why are you so angry with me? And Karen is trying to act like that's fighting fire with fire. What?

[Brandi]

Yeah, she might call someone an imp, but that's about it.

[Tom]

Yeah, but it took. It was a long road to imp.

[Brandi]

Yes, but. But I agree. I agree. Kieran actually is the one who goes lower in these fights. So Stacy's like, I never once said you were violent. And then we see the well, I don't want to get chin checked flashback, which again, we explained why we are okay with that. And also, that was a funny ass line. I'm sorry. That was hilarious. Because Kieran was getting herself all whipped up into a tizzy. And Stacy just sits there and shrugs and has this one liner that is just so perfect at that moment. I don't know. So Stacy says, you know, I have never seen the text messages that you had. It was asked of me, did you date Chris? And I said, I've never dated him. And I know. I'm so sure. So why would you go to Monique and Say, you know Stacy, she dated your ex husband. Which, by the way, she. Stacy's right. Because remember, Kieran just meets Monique, and the first thing that Kieran does is say, oh, Stacy dated your. Your. Your ex. That's so messy. That's so messy. You don't know Monique. You don't have any loyalty to Monique. Like, what is that about?

[Tom]

So Kay says, I don't know what she's done for a fact, but I do know for a fact that I've seen Stacy with Chris, and I've just accepted Stacy for who she is. No, you haven't. When. When did you do that? And she's like, well, you know, we just need to discuss from now on how we can get along. So Stacy's like, well, listen, it's so sad because we actually have a lot in common. You have a wellness brand. I've just launched a wellness brand. You're known for your fashion. I'm known for selling amazing fashion on qvc.

[Brandi]

I'm back with my husband, and from what I've heard, you're back with Greg. Hey, here's the thing.

[Guest]

Here's the thing. This is where I get somebody because.

[Brandi]

Like, there's lies and then there's, like, not being forthcoming. And Stacy's like, sure. She goes, I'm a very passionate person, and I'm a very direct person, and I would like for. For me to be able to have a conversation with you. It's never going to feel like you have to fear for your safety when it comes to me, because I would never harm you. And I just. I just. I just don't want to have to be the landing point for your defense every time we have a conversation. So we're.

[Tom]

Okay, well, then stop talking about chin checking and then getting in people's face and waving your finger in their face and yelling at them about business. That's not even your.

[Brandi]

Yeah. So Stacy's like, just. Can you give me the benefit, the doubt going forward? Can we just do that? And if you hear something, will you just come to me? My favorite resolution in the Real Housewives, when two people pledge that if they hear something about someone, they'll come directly.

[Tom]

To them, each other instead of the group. Okay. Okay. Yeah. So she's. So they agree to do that. And then she's like, let's do a cheers. I can't because my drinks. My drink's not full. She goes, you can do this, Kiara. Now you still have a swig. Come on. Come on, K. And she's like, all right, now all right, Detroit. And she goes, okay, Baltimore. Which. So we'll see if that comes up later. She called me Baltimore right after selling me. She wasn't gonna call me names.

[Brandi]

See?

[Tom]

Okay.

[Brandi]

So now it's a dinner girl. Dinner time for Giselle and Ashley and Wendy. So they go to this. This place, and they all order and everything. And Ashley's like, I'm getting my period.

[Guest]

I'm getting it, like, twice a month sometimes.

[Brandi]

And she's always like, oh, gosh.

[Guest]

Yeah, I feel like I'm gonna get it right now. Right now. My fourth time this month. Right now.

[Brandi]

It's like, really? Your period?

[Tom]

So Wendy's like, oh, baby. Every month, Eddie has it, like, on his calendar. He's just like. You know, he's in his office, like, oh, like, peeking out if it's time. He doesn't want to come out of the office. It's very funny.

[Brandi]

So Giselle's like, okay, well, ladies, this has been some good smart talk, but let's get to the main event. We have been invited from angel to something. Here we go. Pack your cutest fits. I'm honored to invite you all to Colorado for a few days to fly. Cowgirl energy and sisterhood. No spoilers. Just know you'll want to be there. Y' all ready?

[Tom]

So angel is like, well, because the ladies have made so many different overtures about not getting to know me and how I'm closed off. You're the one who makes the overtures about, oh, my God. She's like, and we're going back to Colorado, so we're going back to my happy place. They are gonna hate this because your whole happy place there is going outside and making them do outdoor things. They don't want to do that. Okay, this is not the way to win these ladies over.

[Brandi]

No, you. She already tried to do her, like, little yoga thing at the beginning of the season, and no one liked it. This is just not gonna work. So anyway, she tells everyone to wear cowgirl boots and Daisy Dukes, and Giselle's like, okay, well, I've got something to say about angel because I called Tia to invite her to our cowboy Potomac party. And Wendy's like, wait, you don't. You're making calls? This supposed. See, this is why I don't do with you. It's supposed to be a collaborative effort. Like, Wendy's, like, three quarters of the way through, making her powerful event, like, invite, invitation, and just all just goes. It calls people.

[Tom]

Yeah. So she's. Beyonce is going to be coming to town, so they want to do a cowboy theme, and so they're gonna hold you do a whole week of Western. And Wendy's like, well, we started it. We started it before angel did it. And just. I was like, yes, we did it first. She's copying us, copying Beyonce.

[Brandi]

So they're making jokes about, like, oh, Ash is gonna wear assless chaps or whatever. And so they're gonna, like. The kids are invited to the Giselle and Wendy thing, which I'm. I'm already, like, nervous about. Like, oh, whenever they bring all the kids to these things, I'm like, is that a smart idea? I'm not sure about that.

[Tom]

I did like this. Wendy goes, well, for the potluck. I've asked Stacy to wean the potato salad. Now she's like, there better not be raisins or grapes. Which, listen, I don't agree with Ashley a lot these days, but I definitely agree with that potato salad does not need to be fixed. You know what I mean? Like, there's not. It's not broken. Just leave potato salad. Leave your raisins. Leave your grapes. Leave your little apple. The little apple I sometimes put in there.

[Brandi]

Well, Korean potato salad usually has, like, some sweet elements, like apple in there, which I actually quite enjoy.

[Tom]

Korea. But I just.

[Brandi]

No, I know. I'm saying that's a different. But in terms of, like, the sort of. The. The sort of the. The traditionally, quote, unquote American style. I know what you're saying. That's more of a tangy potato salad. So, yeah, grapes are, like, a weird choice. I do enjoy a German potato salad as well, which is why I'm convinced this is why Stacy is making a potato salad. She's like, I'm married to a German, so I can make a potato salad, which. Did anyone even try her potato salad this episode after all that talk?

[Tom]

No, it didn't look very good. It was all mayonnaise. I think it was grocery store. So what is the German potato salad?

[Brandi]

I think it's a little bit tangier. I think it's a little bit more mustardy. Like, there's. It's, like, mustardy, vinegary. I think there's still mayo in it, but, like, the American style is, like, just, like, big deal. Big, big mayos behind that one. Although the Korean also has, like, a lot of mayo. But the German one is, I think, a little bit more mustard and vinegar.

[Tom]

That's probably how I make it more German. Like, I use a lot of vinegar. Mustard, pickle juice.

[Brandi]

Yeah. And, like, grainy mustard, dill, yeah, that's. That is kind of the best.

[Tom]

Yeah, there is. And then I. I like to bake the potatoes as well.

[Brandi]

Oh, baked potatoes. Wow. Instead of boiling them. Wow.

[Tom]

It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappin's commercial. So then they're talking about potato salad, which I can't imagine two people talking too long about potato salad. And then Giselle's like, okay, let's talk Tia. So Tia just left Angel's house, and angel got kicked out of her house, and, you know, they're renting, so said, your little lease is up and you have to get out of here. And angel tells us, angel, you have been evicted. Didn't you tell us you was top tier wag? This is not top tier wag. This. Look, where's Taylor Swift? She is top tier wag.

[Brandi]

It's a fair point. It's a fair point. So Wendy's like, okay, well, you know what? Let me tell you this. Tea. And as she's like, what's the what?

[Tom]

Tell?

[Brandi]

Because one of my friends who's a realtor, told me this girl came up to me and said, hey, I need a house in Potomac and need it to look like it's $50,000 a month, but I'm only willing to pay two to three thousand dollars for the house. And then they all laugh because they know that she's.

[Tom]

The way that Giselle cackles is like the sea urchin from the Little Mermaid turning gigantic and finally getting all the power and making the ocean go in a storm. She's like, There are dolphins, like, flying out of the ocean behind her. I was like, jeez, Giselle. There's no bigger gift to Giselle than something she can use against somebody else.

[Brandi]

She just love the evil.

[Tom]

The enjoyment of the evil is just.

[Brandi]

Hilarious to watch that Giselle is gonna. And Giselle is gonna probably go hard with this in Colorado in Angel's own house. So Wendy's like, yeah, and then she wanted to have, like, this lavish lifestyle all presented, but she said that she wanted to pay a certain sort of amount, which is sort of funny coming from Wendy, given all the controversy there.

[Tom]

But Wendy lives, like, an hour away to have a bigger house. You know, I mean, they all kind of do it. It's housewives, but they all. They all.

[Brandi]

I mean, look.

[Tom]

And all of them. I mean, just be careful who you throw stones at when you live in a cardboard box. You know what I mean? Although I guess that would be a safe place. Don't throw box cutters. When you live in a cardboard box. Okay?

[Brandi]

So Wendy's like, look, if she wanted. If she wanted discount, by all means, baby, get your discount. I'm not vested in angels living accommodations. I'm well invested in angel and how she. And how she shows up for us as friends.

[Tom]

Yeah, you're the one who just outed this on tv. So don't do the whole, like, oh, I just care about her friendship. No, you don't.

[Brandi]

Yeah, seriously. So they're. Now they're wondering if, like, is angel broke? And Giselle's like, I feel like Bobby is over it.

[Guest]

Yeah, he doesn't like it here.

[Brandi]

So here. Now they're going to start painting Bobby as this, like, surly, grumpy husband who doesn't even support Angel. And maybe angel is. Oh, maybe she's suffering in silence. And so Giselle's like, yes, well, I heard. I heard he doesn't even like Eddie. And when he goes, when he's like, eating, she goes. She just starts laughing.

[Tom]

Like, what? It's like, okay, I made it up. I made it.

[Brandi]

And then when he just laughs, Wendy looks at the camera, just laughs more full on food in her mouth. She's like, this bitch. I have to pretend to be friends with her all the season.

[Tom]

Yeah. So now we go to the Potomac and ponies party, and it's at, like, some indoor soccer place and curious, curious, curious place to hold a party. So Giselle comes first. And, you know, everybody starts coming, whatever, looking over the party and stuff like that. And Wendy's like, well, coming together with Giselle was really interesting because You've seen my 40th birthday, and we see how glamorous, glamorous it was. And she's like. And then you've seen all the events that Giselle is thrown. And then we see a clip of the reasonably shady party in Giselle's front yard where nobody could go in to.

[Brandi]

Use the bathroom and, like, magic marker signs and things falling over. So then Giselle. Giselle gives Eddie shade about bringing Popeyes. And she's like, well, Wendy, give out the food assignments. And then here she comes with a bucket of Popeyes chicken, ma'.

[Tom]

Am.

[Brandi]

Well, but to be fair, Popeyes chicken, it's quite good. It's quite good.

[Tom]

So there's cotton candy. And then everybody's just coming. Charisse is here. She just comes rollerblading in on a little hoverboard with a horse tail on it. Hello.

[Brandi]

Cowboy time. Wendy says that, you know, we have to have. We've. We've had so Many events in this group, and naturally, we always cater. But like, to make it really a family style event, it has to be potluck. But everyone, like, the only one. No one actually brings their own food. So Ashley comes in and she's brought catering, like catfish. And she's like, well, I felt like.

[Guest]

It was appropriate to bring catfish to the party because it's a running theme.

[Brandi]

In our group, which means we queue up the angel catfish footage.

[Tom]

Just leave angel alone. I mean, my God, Angel's not the best housewife, but they're really mean to Angel.

[Brandi]

Well, but like, I mean, they are really mean to Angel. But also angel kind of just gives them the perfect fodder. Like, time and time again, she falls. She falls into the. We talked about traps before. Angel falls into the traps. The way that she got so fussed continually about the catfish. They were like, oh, okay, she's not really one of us. She can't hang with us. So we're just gonna drive her off the show. Like, she just didn't know how. She doesn't know how to play the game. Really.

[Tom]

Yeah. And, you know, she's actually doing herself kind of a favor because she gets so offended over the little things. Basically, how it works is if you don't get, you know, you act like Teflon. You're like, that doesn't offend me. That doesn't offend me. You can say whatever you want, you can do whatever kind of like they're doing with Stacy where it doesn't really matter. And then they finally get you on a bigger thing, and then they do break you down. And in this one, angel is not really letting them get to the bigger thing because she's still offended over the small things. So in a way, she's doing herself a favor because I feel like if she was more Tefloni, the whole cast would have jumped on this thing about the other woman who was texting Jazzy with all this information about how angel was really an. And all this other stuff and jealous of the husband or whatever the hell that was all about. They would really be harping on that. But they can't even get to a good plot point because angel is still sweating the small stuff. So maybe she's helping herself out. Yeah.

[Brandi]

So then they're like, people are arriving and Angel's still not there. So they decide to call her up, and Kieran is like, hey, when are you gonna. You're on speaker. How far away are you? And Angel's like, we are far. But, like, we'll Be there. And Wendy's like, well, how far are you gonna be? Like, everyone's like, how far? And Bobby goes, we'll get there when we get there. And everyone's like, bobby, how. How angry.

[Tom]

How could Bobby speak to us like this? And Wendy's like, that doesn't sound very. I know.

[Brandi]

They're, like, really scandalized by this. Meanwhile, Stacy still hasn't even arrived yet, but they're like, wow, I can't believe angel is so late. So Giselle's like, angel, first of all, you're running two hours later, like, why would you even say that? You get there when you get there. Well, actually turn around and go home. Oh, I forgot. You don't have one.

[Tom]

Ah.

[Brandi]

Oh, God.

[Tom]

So then. So Ashley's like, why does Bobby have all this energy? Sir, pipe down. That Bobby. I think he's got a temper on him. And so Tia tries to help her. She's like, well, she had a. A stressful week, though, with the move, didn't she? And, you know all the stress that I've added by telling everyone that she's being evicted.

[Brandi]

But whose fault is that? Who gets booted out of their house? Oh, Giselle, you just wait, okay? Because it comes around to everyone on these shows. You just wait till you get evicted. So Tia is like, although I think that she's probably gonna be fine. I'll eat my words. Tia's like, I'm just saying, let's be compassionate, because I would like everyone to be angry at Stacey instead. And it seems like we have a lot of energy for agent right now.

[Guest]

Let's get eyes on Stacey, please.

[Tom]

Yeah. So now they're like, you know, she's had a stressful week. And, like, well, have you had a stressful week? She's like, oh, yes, actually, I have. Like, there. Then. It's no excuse. Everyone has a stressful week. Ah, it's not an excuse. So Karen is saying, well, look, Bobby was just being honest. They packed her house up. They have two little kids. They're driving all the way up to Baltimore. Like, he's just probably frustrated. And so they're like, yeah, kids suck. So she. She's on her way, guys, let's just calm down. So now they go get drinks and stuff. And then Stacy arrives, and they're all shocked because they've never seen Teemo before. And Wendy goes, oh, my God. Is that Stacy? Is that a husband? Is that Timo? Timu? Is that Timu?

[Brandi]

Yeah. And so they meet him, and he's, like, very awkward, and he's uncomfortable. He doesn't know what to do. And so they're all saying, hi. It's like, nice to meet you. And Arabella is there, and she's being very sweet and lovely. And, you know, as she's saying, like, at one point, I think Ashley's like, oh, my God.

[Guest]

So there finally is a face to the name. Oh, wow. I finally get to see.

[Brandi]

Which is like, that. Like, that's the. That, like that thing that people say, which is, like, kind of mean, you know? And so Timo's like, yeah, no, I mean, it's mean. Well, I mean, it's kind of like it's making. It's like it kind of puts someone on the spot right away when they, like, show up, you know, it's like, oh, Oh, I didn't know you actually existed. Oh. And then they have to be like, ah, yeah, I do.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Brandi]

Like, okay.

[Tom]

He's like, I am real. Have you had a pizza oven? I have one.

[Brandi]

So Wendy's like, so were you part of the process of making the potato salad, Timo? You made it.

[Guest]

He's like, no, I didn't make it. That was part of the process. I did some of it.

[Brandi]

I observed.

[Guest]

I said last German.

[Tom]

Enough.

[Guest]

Now is the time we make potato salad.

[Tom]

We are done with potato salad now. Now you eat. You eat the potato salad.

[Brandi]

So Ashley is like, it's really nice.

[Guest]

To know that Teemo actually does exist. I mean, I almost pinched him to make sure he was real. And I was happy to see that he was there supporting his wife, even after she got busted paying the paying to play with tj. Kudos.

[Brandi]

Props.

[Guest]

He gets points in my book. Also, like, he's kind of old and pasty, which, not gonna lie, kind of turned me on.

[Tom]

I'm so excited for everyone to try my potato salad. They're potatoes, but they're cut in a small way. There's just a little bit celery. And let me tell you the special ingredient. Everyone be quiet. This is a shocker.

[Brandi]

Mayonnaise.

[Tom]

There's mayonnaise in there. Can you believe it? Absolutely incredible potato salad. Like, you've never had it before.

[Brandi]

A lot of people don't know this, but I'm a fabulous cook. And we see three days ago, she pulls some something out of the oven that's, like, white, but then has this big burnt spot in the middle. And AJ Is like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not touching that. That's not even cor. No, no, no, no, no. It's a peach cobbler. He's like, no, it's not. No, it's alive.

[Tom]

It's moving.

[Brandi]

It's the substance. It's the substance.

[Tom]

It's from Detroit. So Stacy's like, my potato salad. World class. My secret ingredient love.

[Brandi]

So when they're just talking about food and everything and getting food and. And like, they're like browsing through the food, the catfish and the chicken and all stuff. And then they're. They have seasonings. Stacy has some. Some Lowry's seasoning, salt and everything. And they're just going to.

[Tom]

Yeah, they're talking a lot about stuff. They all disappoint. They all dis the potato salad at some point. They all talk about how nasty it looks, which is pretty funny. And then one of the kids says, they like the potato salad. So.

[Brandi]

Yeah, you see pumpkin marks? Yeah, see? And then Ashley's trying to get Dylan to eat lunch.

[Guest]

She's like, if you eat some lunch, I'll do tug of war. I feel lunch sick.

[Brandi]

No, Mummy, I'm trying to watch my figure. You can't lure me out from this wall. I'm gonna stay here for the rest of the day.

[Tom]

Mother, I'd appreciate it if we didn't spend today talking about body image issues. Mother, please, you really need to eat something. All right. Will you shake my hand? If you shake my hand on it. If you eat. He's like, all right, I'll shake your hand. And I will prefer that you stick to this promise. Mommy.

[Brandi]

Hold on.

[Tom]

Let me say a song now. Much I love you. All right, all right.

[Brandi]

He's crying because there was no counters to stand on. So then he doesn't know what to do.

[Tom]

He's like, how am I supposed to play a sport without a countertop to stand on?

[Brandi]

Giselle's like, is it Timu or Timo? And Eddie's like, timo. And when he goes, timo. Where the fuck did this name have an O in it? And Cam is like, right there. Her daughter.

[Guest]

And she's like, excuse me, Mother.

[Brandi]

Oh, sorry. I love when kids get bossy about. About. About curse words.

[Guest]

You curse and you're not supposed to say those words, Mother.

[Tom]

Yeah. So they're about to announce a winner for the potluck, like, who made the best food? None of it looks great. I'm going to be honest. No, this was not the most successful potluck we've seen. So angel and Bobby walk in right then, and it's awkward. And so Wendy is like, o. We can make it worse now for angel, who just got here and is probably already stressed out. So we had. We had this. We had that. Okay, now who made catfish? Ashley Darby was on catfish. I just want to make sure angel has heard the term catfish. He cuts to angel and she's like.

[Brandi]

She'S not happy. I also just want to point out that when angel and. And what's his face, Bobby walk in the way that Greg went running over to Bobby, like tumbling over chairs and tables, he was. Greg was so excited to be like, I could be friends with a football player now. He went. The biggest smile on his face. He showed more excitement for Bobby than he ever did for Kierna.

[Tom]

I know I would date that Greg. He looks so happy to be there. But not the one that's with K, that's for sure. So he was all excited. He's like, oh, my God, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby at home. Am I right? It's the only place I like to. Only place tell all my friends so much.

[Brandi]

He's also like two times the height of Greg and just like looking down at him. So then, yeah, this catfish moment happens, which is hilarious. And of course, angel is not liking that. Perturbed.

[Tom]

Yeah. She's like, you can take that catfish and shove it. What could be her justification for bringing catfish? At least when you come to my house, you had a chef, you had a real open bar. A ten dollar party. But we show up to an event for kids with Popeyes and half rented space. Please show some respect. Show some respect.

[Brandi]

You show up three hours later and then you want to talk about respect at an event?

[Tom]

So you showed up three hours later and you're evicted. Just take the chicken. You know what I mean? Bring some Tupperware. That's what I suggest.

[Brandi]

Yes, I would. It all looks. I mean, I. I would have. I look good. So then they are all gathering and the men gather so to do, like, men talk. And Eddie is like, so you came a little tardy to the party, huh? That's Kim Zolciak reference. Welcome to Bravo. And Bobby's like, yeah, well, somebody's got to do it. So then the kids are all making friends, which is really cute. The kids are getting along. And then we go back to the adults and Ash is like, so from.

[Guest]

What I understand, Tia talked to Giselle and said that you have to move within a few days. Angel.

[Brandi]

Because I. Yeah, we're used to moving. We're an NFL family. We've had short term lease for this property originally because we thought within a certain period of time we would and we'd find a house. But you know. You know what it is? Hashtag NFL family, right?

[Tom]

That was a really long way to just say wag, wagity wag wag wag. I'm a wag. So I just have to point out something that just happened that I thought was really funny. So Arabella goes up to Cameron and she's like, so, Cam, you have four phones. And Tim was like, four phones?

[Brandi]

Yeah, four phones.

[Tom]

And she's like, well, I have three, but my dad is gonna buy me another one. Those are called burner phones, and you're not supposed to tell people you have those.

[Brandi]

Oh, my God, you are hilarious. Ronnie.

[Tom]

You are gonna get in trouble.

[Brandi]

My God.

[Tom]

They're just putting them all under Cameron's name. Oh, bless their hearts.

[Brandi]

My God.

[Tom]

Wag, wagity wag wag wag. So Stacy's like, are you living here? Are you going back to Colorado, Angel? And she's like, well, well, we're going back to Colorado, and then we're going to get our stuff, and then we're going to pack it up, and then we're just going to be back and forth until we find a house that we want. If I make another season, which I probably won't, so fuck you people. No, I'm not getting a fucking house. Get off my ass.

[Brandi]

So was it originally booked for July 12th or the 1st when you booked it? And Angel's like, well, it was originally for.

[Tom]

I don't know.

[Brandi]

And here's where I think Angel's, like, afraid to.

[Tom]

Ouch.

[Brandi]

Conversations with production. And she's like, I don't know. I mean, I don't know what happened. To be honest with you. I don't. I don't know what happened. And now she's like, babe, it's just.

[Guest]

Hard for me to understand because, like, as a mom, I know area on top of it.

[Tom]

Like, as a mom, Ashley's not getting enough reaction, so she's gonna make it that you're a bad mother. She's like, okay, yeah. She's like, I'm not getting enough reaction. I'm going to insinuate she's a terrible mother for letting this happen. Now let's see what happens. Happens. I mean, Ashley, listen, you can say a lot about Ashley, but she does come to work.

[Brandi]

Yeah. And she's basically like, when you say that you were confused about it, that's just not something I would see you doing. She's actually doing a reverse as you mom. As a mom, she's like, you're such a good mom. You're on top of. So how did you not find. How are you not on top of this instead? And it seems like when Tia says. In fact, when Tia says, was it originally for July 12th? I guess that's probably the wrap day for their shooting. July 12th. So they're like, oh, it's 12 days early. Like, what's going on? And Wendy's like, you know what? They were saying you were evicted, girl. She's like, I'm just gonna get right to it. You're addicted.

[Tom]

She's like, we've been waiting for the whole cast to get here for three hours. Now they're saying, you got evicted. Let's just end this. And he is like, oh, Wendy, it's such a mess. And Theresa's like, yeah, Wendy. Willie throws a wee mix on it, huh?

[Brandi]

Wendy's like, I'm not gonna dance around there. The people saying, you're evicted and just, like, say, it ain't so. Wow. Guess we'll find out what happens with this, but. Oh, Angel. Oh, Angel. Angel, Angel.

[Tom]

Oh, Angel.

[Brandi]

Mess. Mess. So funny. What a funny thing. Angel is so funny to me. She continued, like, the worse she is as a housewife, the more I'm amused by her because she's just so bad at it. So bad.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Brandi]

But also at. They're also. Ashley is so transparent, the way Ashley tries to whip up these things. Like, oh, I think that Bobby has a real temper on him. He just was like, we'll get there when we get there. He's like, you're. You guys should just be so lucky that we're even coming in the first place because we have to back up this whole house and, like, in, like, minus five hours.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Brandi]

So she's just trying to create some narratives, and they all. They're all at work, basically.

[Tom]

Yeah. Oh, Lord, the mess. The mess. All right, well, thanks, everybody, for being here. We'll be back week next week with some more Potomac, eh? Yeah.
