A
Exciting, exciting times over at Folly Beach. No, in Carolina's South Carolina.
B
There. Yeah. Fun episode. Made me think of PowerPoint differently.
A
Yeah. Yeah. I really appreciate it. I appreciated Maddie using PowerPoint not out of spite, but in defense of friendship. Oddly enough, it's not what I was expecting. Normally, people are like, I'm going to make a presentation of why you've been terrible to me. But she's like, I'm making a presentation on why we were actually really good friends. Yeah.
B
We also met possibly the best sponsor that we've ever seen. It's been a really good week on Bravo because last week, or maybe it was a week before we. We didn't meet her, but we saw Eric, Erica's therapist on Beverly Hills, who I love. I think she's great. And now the sponsor, who I think is great. A lot of great non fake helpers, I think.
A
Yeah, yeah. Sponsor was a really good one. Sponsor was like that. PowerPoint. No good. This is not. Do not enter this into a court of law or a court of Bravo.
B
And just how well she knows Maddie, she's like, were you doing the pointing thing and the waving your hands thing? And then they show her doing all the things that the sponsor is calling out. She's good. She's a keeper.
A
She's good, she's good. And there's just more intrigue. And I do love that the episode opens up with Maddy giving a four year recap to get into this episode. This all started four years ago. I was like, that's pretty cool. Like, I love a show that has, like, it has lore now. Like, you. You need to know the full timeline to understand how we get into the second episode of this season.
B
You really do. Yeah, it's. And that's what these shows need. That's why, like, the new Vanderpump rules. Okay. You know, some people are like, whatever. They're not the. They need time to get mad at each other over years.
A
Yeah, yeah. Decade long feuds. I mean, the best shows do have that, like, deep undercurrent of resentment that like, carries on from year to year to year. I mean, like a, like, like it's not just like a, oh, this year we're mad at each other. It's. It's like this goes back to season one. You know, you did that thing in season one that I'll always resent. You know, that's why it's so fun sometimes to watch, like, the Valley. And you see flashbacks throughout the years of Vanderpump Rules of, you know, terrible things that were done by someone, usually Jax to someone else, usually Brittany.
B
Yeah. You need to know the fight behind the fight, because it's never about the current fight. It's like real life. You're not mad at me because I left my underwear on the floor. You're mad at me because of a fight we had three years ago where you said, you know, you feel respected when I make, you know, whatever. When I make the effort to blah, blah, blah. Sorry, I'm getting too personal. Oh, my God, I'm pissed. Or like an example. Bravo. People will get like, kyle was not mad that Vanderpump supposedly leaked stories about Puppy Gate. She was mad because Lisa Vanderpump Brought up Mauricio cheating in the blogs in front of Porsche, like, five years before that.
A
She was waiting.
B
Grew, and it grew and snowballed and snowballed until Kyle finally got everybody to go against Lisa Vanderpump and finally won. You know, so you have to know the lore, guys. And this lore is Bradley got a blowjob behind a trash can a long time ago, and it's going to keep going forever.
A
Yeah. And now the question is, I was thinking about this. I mean, I don't think about this question a lot, but I was thinking about it last night. Did Bradley get that blowjob? Because he always denied that he got the blowjob, and he said he started the. You know, he started the rumor about Maddie and her ex, you know, out of spite, so that way Maddie could see what it was, what it's like to be on the receiving end of a vicious rumor. But the problem for Bradley is that he successfully lied about that for, like, a season and a half. So now when he says he didn't get that blowjob, unfortunately, he is the one on record who is the liar. So, yeah, I have to believe that
B
he was getting that blowjob now and convincingly lying.
A
Like, we all convincingly lied.
B
Yeah. So you're basically like, I'm the best liar here. So how about that? It's like, well, yeah. And of course he got the blowjob at the. At the trash can. Of course he did. Of course he did.
A
Of course he did.
B
What a random thing to make up.
A
Yeah.
B
About someone. I go, it's all been getting a blowjob the other. Well, first of all, our friends wouldn't really care. I mean, if you were like, ronnie got a blowjob behind a trash can, they'd be like, again, Ronnie, Jesus, use a bathroom at least.
A
Mm. Now, I do remember, though. I mean, I think that they brought up that blowjob thing because that was in retaliation for something else. Like, I think Bradley was, like, calling out at that time, Maddie for something with Trevor. I just don't remember what it was. So there is that, too. I mean, Maddie could have been motivated to lie. But I think now that Bradley has, you know, it's proven that he. He launched a very intentional and hurtful lie against Maddie. You just have to assume that when he says he didn't get that blowjob, like, he does, a very good chance he could have gotten that blowjob now.
B
He got that blowjob. Yeah. I believe 100% he got it. And, you know, more Power to him. It's not like he did. It's not like he. You know, it was with someone he shouldn't have. I mean, it was because he was dating somebody and that ruined his relationship that he got so upset. But, you know, listen, I say blowy where you blow. Get your blowy where you can. Okay. Yeah. It's like when there's someone passing canapes. Would I expect that to happen on the subway? No, but I would take it if one was passed. It's canopy.
A
Yeah.
B
You're gonna take it when they go
A
blow, you get the job.
B
Okay, so we are starting back with the argument we ended on last week, which is Maddie freaking out on everyone after TJ's wiener event. It's Sir Wieners event. And TJ's like, I think you have a hard time with the truth. And she's like, oh, honey, I get the truth. I read the truth. Okay, I've got it. He's like, oh, baby, I could ruin your fucking year if I showed you the mean shit they said about you. It's like, do it. Do it. Because we weren't in a good place, but we were in a good place, so that's it. It's okay if I fuck you over because we didn't like each other, but when you fuck over someone that you like, that's very different.
A
We were in a good place. I don't know if you've ever been in a good place, babe. You lie and you lie, hands flying everywhere. Well, you can go fuck yourself. So then Joe pulls Maddie back, and he's like, stop. Maddie, stop.
B
Stop.
A
No. Stop it. Joe. Stop it. Stop it. Back up. Back the fuck up. Back the phone. That's enough, Maddie. People are staring at us from the street. Then Brad jumps in, and he's like, look, I wanted to have a normal conversation with you, but you started yelling and getting ridiculous because you keep on getting combative and defensive. And he's like, I wasn't. You were the one who was combative and defensive, Mavi.
B
You're good and combative, too. And Brad's like, thank you. Thank you, Joe. Thank you. She's like, I have the right to. Joe. I have the right to. He's like, I know you do, but not here, Maddie. Not at a Sir Wieners event. This is a very classy event.
A
You. You took it where it is. Okay, we're here because you're yelling. Okay, we'll go private then. I like that she talks about it like. Like an Instagram account. Fine. I'm Taking this private, you have to request access.
B
So listen, this is a very classy event where we try and solely people's reputations by naming hot dogs meanly after them.
A
Yeah, you. You can't get too loud at that kind of thing. So they're like, okay, we're gonna go inside. And so they just, enjoy your.
B
Enjoy your salmonella. Everybody eating hot dogs.
A
They go inside, but Joe follows. And I was like, not you, Joe. Stay back, Joe. He's like, okay, all right, well, you're just yelling at everyone, huh? So Molly tells us, we all know who wears the pants in that relationship, and it's not Joe. Yeah, thanks for your insight, Molly.
B
They need to duke it out for a second without the drama. Joe, shut up, you stupid. Joe, shut up. Just leave, Joe. It's like, geez, okay, I'm gonna stand right here behind the bar and watch you guys while I play with little drink umbrellas. So, Joe. So Brad and Maddie go talk. And Brad's like, look, I apologized, and you said it was fine after the reunion, and I thought we were dropping it. And then you keep coming back with jabs, and she goes. Because you keep doubling down. You do, though.
A
How am I doubling down? You're doubling down saying, like, oh, I said this at the reunion. When did we talk at the reunion about this? When. When I'm crashing out and crying. He's like, no, you said, I appreciate the accountability and the apology. Literally, those words left your mouth. And then after the reunion, you immediately said that, like, let's. I want to drop this completely, move on from it. No, that. That. That's the part that never happened. That never happened at the reunion. This past year, we met in the hotel lobby, and I saw Emmy, and I saw Will, and I saw the entire staff, which has nothing to do with what you're talking about, but I'm just letting you know who I saw in the lobby.
B
He's like, but Emmy and Will didn't hang out with us after the reunion. She was. Yeah, so I went up to them, and I found out you were outside our private hotel room. And he's like, what? She goes, yeah, well, Brad didn't check on me after the reunion, but Emmy did. And Emmy told me that Brad was stalking her outside of her hotel room. And Brad's got plenty of time to check in on Emmy's hotel room, but none to check in on me, whose life he just blew up. Okay, so now we see what Emmy's doing. Emmy's like, oh, my God. He's been stalking Me. He heard what I was saying because he was standing at my door and stalking my hotel room instead of, like, I was yelling and cackling so loud with Will on the phone with my mother bragging about how much we burned you at the reunion, that they heard it from the elevator.
A
Yeah. So. So then Maddie starts reading text on her phone. And so Brad. You know, Brad's like. You know, because he shows the phone and everything. Like, lower your voice. You're dead to me, too. Because he wrote that to Emmy. And so Brad's like, I could hear through the wall. And she said, brad and TJ are dead to me. And after sitting through the reunion stage crying, saying how she wanted to try and make a relationship with us, I texted her and said, you're dead to me, too, because she said it first. So she also went after that.
B
She.
A
She also went after I texted her and said that I made her feel unsafe. And that is not cool. And magic. That's not cool. Yeah, that's not cool. It's like, yeah, it's fucked up. And so Maddie.
B
So this is why I love Maddie, because she gets. She's like, so mad. You are wrong. And he's like, no, but here's what happened. Just. Oh, no, you're right. Yeah. That really is uncool. Wait a minute.
A
She's calm all of a sudden?
B
Yeah, she, like, she believes it. She. She knows that he's in that moment. She knows he's telling the truth. And he's like, yeah, it is fucked up. So he says, after I heard Emmy's rant, scre doors in the hotel room, I'm getting ready to go to the club, and then I get a text from someone that we work with, which, you know, means production.
A
Production.
B
And the text says, I don't know what you said to Emmy, but she's saying that you made her feel unsafe. And she's moving hotel rooms. And he's saying, you know, that's dangerous. Like, that's why I'm pissed at Emmy, because you use that verbiage against a black man. You know, that can do a lot of harm. Like, not only to my reputation, but, like, that could put me in jail, you know? And was I making her feel unsafe when we hung out this time? And they, like, show pictures or, like, when we were doing this, and they show pictures and all the memories of them being friends. And he's like, yeah, calling me and, like, unsafe and using the word stalking.
A
Like, yeah, by the way, standing outside, someone's. Even if he's eavesdropping. Even if he was just standing there eavesdropping, that's not stalking. Okay, so let's not minimize people who really do have stalkers too. That's just. That was definitely like a. It was definitely a very Trishell moment for Emmy.

She's like, okay, and so what are you. What are you looking for? And by the way, they, like, cut to Joe Bradley, and he's at the bar, and, like, there's like, a bowl of, like, little mini wieners that are out. And so he decides to eat one. And he, like, he's like. He like, spits it out. It, like, takes it off his tongue.
B
She's like, I want to let go of this resentment, Bradley, okay? I want to move on, you know, I'm just saying I'm her and I want to be validated because, like, honestly, you all fucking up, you shook my world up. Like, I'm not kidding. My world is reality was blown up. Like, I blew up my own relationship because I trusted you. Like, I did love him, like, a lot. And we see clips of Maddie and Trevor together, and this is up. And I can't believe she's like. She says, you know, I feel like a piece of that I trusted you guys and. And dumped my partner. I didn't trust my partner. And okay, I do feel really bad for her. The reason, though, that you didn't trust your partner is because he had cheated before.
A
So, yeah, he sucked. He sucked them out.
B
It's not like Trevor was some, like, paragon of virtue that got caught up. Caught up on all this mess. It was a believable lie because Trevor was kind of a slime bag that also, she did really love Trevor. And you see the different energy that she had with Trevor that she has With Joe, it was just a different energy. And she should call Trevor and sit down with Trevor and talk to him. I don't know if she has or not, but she should because she. This is going to eat her up forever.
A
She should. But also, like, don't forget, like, yes, she threw his phone down and showed up with a shovel at his place, which was always hilarious, but she got back together with him afterwards. So what ultimately ended their relationship? I think, unless maybe it was. Maybe I'm not remembering it correctly, maybe it just was that the rumor was such a cancer that they ultimately could not get past it, but they did try to move past it because she didn't believe the girl. And so the girl, Sammy was her. I think her name was Sammy. So I don't know. But I do agree, though, that ultimately it's actually a really fucked up thing to do. Like, it's really, really fucked up. And the fact that they didn't, like, fess up to it or say, well, you know what? Honestly, we made this up because we wanted. I wanted you to see how much it hurts to, you know, have a rumor made up about you. The fact that they actually never, like, fessed up to it and they were never going to fess up to it, except that that Emmy is the one who actually brought it out to the four is actually, like, darkly fucked up. Like, it's. That's like you really. You mess up someone's trust. And that. That was a relationship. So it was definitely not cool at all. Even though Travis or Trevor seemed like a piece of garbage.
B
I mean, the whole group is up because they all knew about it in this group text and nobody did anything. Joe, her boy, her current boyfriend, was like, okay, well, let's. Let's get proof. Like, let's. It. He's in the group text. So, yeah, the fact that she's dating Joe and Joe did the same thing is crazy. This group is just so up and no one's even saying sorry. He's. Bradley's just saying like, well, I'm sorry I hurt you, but I did it because you hurt me first. It's like, what? What? You got a blow job? How is you getting a blow job behind a dumpster? The same. So anyway, so she's telling him, like, I was hurt. And he goes, you know, well, I'm glad you're telling me. Oh. Because she goes, yeah, I'm hurt. You know, like, I felt guilty for smashing his phone. And we see her smashing his phone and then, like, pulling up with a shovel. See her pulling up with a shovel. And she says, but, you know, like, I was so proud of myself for, like, standing up to a cheater, and I just feel like a now, you know?
A
So she's like, I feel like a. I feel. I'm just, like, fucking hurt, Brad. Like, you used to, like, pretty much, like, live in my house. Like, I was like, one of your first fucking clients. Like, I feel like we're so fucking tight, Brad. Like, we would go to parties together. Brad. Like, all this stuff, Brad. Like, I don't know how to move forward from here, Brad. Like, I want to move forward, Brad. He's like, okay, well, I'm glad you're telling me that now, because now I know we can do something about it. Well, I want to let it go, obviously. I just get emotional talking about my past. I was like, fucking 22, toxic as shit. So. So we're fucking. You okay? I love. She's talking like, she has so much perspective now. I was 22. I know.
B
It's like year 10.
A
It's your 10 of this show.
B
Joe's like, wow, these hot dogs chase. Shut up, Joe. You stupid. You shut up. So Brad's like, well, Maddie's my friend. I don't want to see her cry. And if I knew it would had this big of a ripple effect, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. And she's like, okay, well, I appreciate you having this conversation with me. So we can move forward now because, like, I want to build that trust with you again, Brad.
A
Okay, Brad.
B
He's like, well, okay, let's move forward. She goes, yeah, I'm trying to, like, work on my dark side. So I'm working on that. It's like, okay, so let's drop it. So now it's a new day. TJ is taking a shower with his vacuum cleaner.
A
Mm. The Mia cutout is next to him. He's like, mia, don't look. Hehe. And then Michael's and Lake are at brunch, and, like's like, I'm tired. A little hungover. And he's like, I'm tired. And she's like, but did you have fun at TJ's party? And we see that they were all, like, skinny dipping. And we hear him say, I just got a dingleberry in my mouth. So then back to the present. Michaels is like, yeah, how was your talk with Molly? And she's like, to be honest, I, like, really don't remember it. And then we see a flashback that they kind of, like, squash Their beef drunkenly at this party.
B
And Molly came up to her and was like, I just want to make sure that you, me are good. Because, like, I care about you and I care about our friendship. Let me finish, let me finish. And I would not be talking to you if I didn't care. Can we say this? Finish? I'm not finished. Are we good? Okay, I'm finished. You can talk now. Go ahead. Yeah.
A
Drunk words. Drunk words are sober thoughts. So me and Molly are cool. Like, we're good? Yeah, I drank a lot. And Michael says, oh, yeah, these two really, like, they really just have such sparkling conversation together.
B
Yeah. So Justin, Dirty Justin. Just dirty vibes from Justin. I don't like the vibes that Justin's giving off. I don't know what it is, but I'm sure we'll see soon.
A
Definitely. Dirt bag.
B
So he's texting Jordan, his. The girl that he's dating from work. And she's like. He's like, do you miss me? And she's like, I just saw you a few hours ago. And then we see that Jordan and Justin kissed. And now we see me and TJ on FaceTime. And she's like, oh, my God, my trip was fabulous. Amazing. It was dreamy. He's like, well, I have a guest, Mia here. Isn't that funny? You got a little beat up at my Sir Wieners party. It was crazy. Maddie just hit you and stepped on you. Like, it was really bad. We had a huge blow up fight after the party. She said crazy ass things and then we just like pissed off essentially. And like she was like doing this at my event. Like, I cannot believe she was ruining a Sir Wieners event.
A
Mia's like, well, if you want to take a hit at the real Mia, I'm right here. We can see whole win. Except I'm going on another trip. I probably won't join the cast again for another, I don't know, six weeks or so.
B
You'll.
A
You'll wait for me, right?
B
So we go to Maddie's, and this is the scene with her sponsor, Julia. And Julia's like rough and tumble. She's like, hey, do you want a coffee? I mean, that's the AA way. She's like, yeah. I mean, fine. Coffee? Yeah, yeah, coffee. Yeah. Put it in my veins. So Maddie's like, julie is my sponsor. You know, she's. She's been sober 11 years, which is crazy. And she, Julia was like another young person with sobriety long term. So boom, they're friends. So they're Talking about last night. And Maddie's like, oh, my God, I could cry about it. Like. Like, you know what? Resentment really makes you want to drink. She goes, yeah, I know. Okay, so start from the beginning. Okay, well, I went to work, and then tj, like, everyone was there. And then, like, Emmy, like, who's standing next to me, she's shaking. She's scared as fuck. And, like, TJ instantly started getting, like, really combative with me. And, like, we instantly into it, and Julia's like, so he started with you and she. And we see a clip of Maddie being you. Like, fingers in his face and yelling in his face. And then it comes back to her, and she just has a long pause, and she goes, yeah. And then it's like, bitch, you want to raise your voice? And I'm better at it. You know what I mean? Julia. You know what I mean?
A
Julia's like, well, we know you're the best at it. Yeah, for sure. You can definitely raise your voice. And I'm. I'm sure you're doing a lot of this, you know, with your hands and left and right and. Shut up, Joe. Shut up, Jo. And I don't fucking understand, Brad. And, you know, all that stuff.
B
She's like, joe is eating tiny hot dogs out of a bowl, and you yelled at him and called him a bitch. God, you're good. God, you're good.
A
TJ looked at me and was like, we were never friends. You were never my friend. And, like, literally. Like, literally, I made a PowerPoint to show we were actually friends. And she's pulled out a PowerPoint to show photographic evidence that they've hung out before. I'm like, you could just reference the footage. Like, we get it. You were friends. She stayed up. But I love that you did PowerPoint.
B
I love that she stayed up all night to make a PowerPoint.
A
And Julie is like, oh, wow.
B
Yeah. You said you were never friends. Okay, well, then why are we outside of Republic? Or why are you there when we're. When I'm DJing or. Us at Universal. Us at Universal. It's crazy. He couldn't make the magic thing happen in front of that window, which was really weird, but I was still his friend.
A
Yeah. They call it limited magic. So, Maddie, he is like. And look, here's me sleeping at his house. Look. And here's me, like, here we are at Starbucks. Julia's like, you know, I think I get the point. You can move forward here. Yeah. TJ was saying that we were never friends. That was just another gaslighting experience from him. So, yeah. Oh, here's us in Tampa. Yeah.
B
Do you have non friends that you go to Tampa with? I didn't. I don't think so.
A
This is us in Springfield, Massachusetts. We were driving by the Basketball hall of Fame. That was hilarious. He wanted to listen to Kelly Clarkson on the radio. I was like, no. Oh, God, listen to my new mix. We have so much friendship. So Julia's like, okay, can we just, like, can we go. Go forward? She's like, did you send it to him? No. Should I? No, don't, Don't.
B
Do not send it to him. Yeah, don't. Don't send that. It's like, well, you know. Do you know what? I picked TJ up from jail, okay? Three years ago, that motherfucker was rotting in jail with a dui, and I was his first phone call, and he. His first thought was, like, who's up? And who would be sober? So, like, I should have just let him rot in jail. And then we see a picture of TJ in jail, like, hey, look good. And then it says not charged under it.
A
So Julia then says, so you came home last night after the fight and went up to your room and made a PowerPoint presentation?
B
Yes.
A
It's like DJing, but with photos, okay? I was fucking pissed because it's hard not to look at them in the eyes and think about all the fucked up shit that they said and then imagine what would happen if that was in slide form.
B
Like, I'm not calculated about this shit, okay? Like, I don't think about shit all the time, but, like, it happens. She goes, yeah, this. But this is incredibly calculated, okay? Because you stayed up all night making a PowerPoint. Okay? Did you even know how to use PowerPoint? No, but, you know, I have the Internet and I learned I'm really good at PowerPoint now. Okay? Yeah, it looks like you're spending a lot of energy on these people. She goes, yeah, but you know what? I did this shit last night. Like, the shit they did with Trevor, that was calculated because that was two and a half years they worked on that. I mean, they blew up a relationship with someone I thought was my soulmate. Like, sometimes it does bleed into my relationship with Joe. Sometimes, you know, Like, I can't even tell, like, joe, shut up, you stupid bitch. Without even. Without feeling, like, a little guilty. Like, should I be saying, like, shut up, Trevor, you stupid bitch? You know what I mean?
A
Like, sometimes I just, like, show up at Joe's place with a shovel, and I don't even Know why I do that? Things just bleed in, you know?
B
I just broke Joe's phone the other day. I don't even know why.
A
When I'm like. I feel like sometimes I'm, like, scared to move forward, Joe. And I'm, like, scared, let's, like, move in and marry him or whatever. It's because, like, I've struggled trusting people around me. It's like, I feel like I'm like a idiot. Like, I'm like, Trevor did not deserve that shit. Like, Trevor probably did on some level, let's be honest. So Julia's like, I think the most important thing is you trying to figure out what is the end result that you want. Will you be giving a corporate presentation with this PowerPoint? Because if not, you should probably delete it.
B
And she says that she talked to Brad and he's willing to build trust, but TJ was not resolutional at all. And Julie is like, well, just open the door and say, like, look, what happened last night can't happen again. I won't allow it. And if it starts to happen again, I'm. From the PowerPoint. She's like, no, not. Don't. Don't show the PowerPoint. Okay? So don't. So just don't. I shouldn't bring my laptop just in case he has to see it? Like, what if he's like, God, I could really use a PowerPoint right now. What if he says something like that? Can I show him my PowerPoint? That's.
A
No, no, don't show it. So we're now at Justin's and TJ's. TJ. I'm sorry. Justin's place. And TJ is visiting. And TJ's like, oh, you got a candle. That's nice. No one got me a candle. And Justin's like, yeah, you know, everything here is essentially for the female gays, because I want women to come over and say, you know what? This guy seems to have his together. I might want to have sex with him. Oh, my God, that's so cool. Wow. And then there's, like, undies nearby.
B
And, like, ladies undies, like, under a couch or something.
A
Yeah.
B
And he's like, yeah, man. Just trying to squeeze the happiness out of life. I'll bet you are. I'm just squeezing every drop of that happiness out multiple times a day, sir. And TJ's like, well, I brought a wine opener because I don't think you have one. And he's like, wow, I have one. You know why? Because it appeals to the female gaze. Yeah, yeah.
A
So he says, my last relationship, you know, I moved to Australia with her and was head over heels for this person. Like, that was the first time in my life I really felt passion. I felt love during sex. Not just like empty ejaculation, but sometimes you get too freaky and it ruins the relationship. And the producer's like, what does that mean? Well, there was a little threesome that went wrong, so we can all imagine what happened there. So he says, he's like, yeah, I've been having too many sleepovers. Jordan's been staying over every single night, man. You know, it's obvious fun to go out and have a one night stand, you know, clap cheeks, but I'm always, you know, chasing, you know, that passion and that intimacy. Like, oh, sure, I. I fully believe that that's why you are out outfitting your apartment for the female gaze. So that way any woman who comes over will have sex with you. But yes, for sure, you're on the journey for passion. And.
B
And it's just a guy who's used to people with such low standards that he's like, yeah, outfitted for the female gaze. A candle and a wine opener. Oh, yeah, get some every time. Get those ladies every time. Well, you know what? We need to get you a body pillow. I got you a gift, though. I got you a gift. No, you didn't. Yeah, you have to close your eyes. Okay. Should I close my eyes and open my mouth? Yeah, you could if you want. He's like, yeah, I'm gonna pass on. Okay, put your hand out. So he puts a giant glass dick with gigantic balls into Justin's hands. And he's like, oh, my God, what is this? And he's like, it's a decanter. It's a dick canter. It's a penis shaped vessel for alcoholic beverages.
A
I really hated this thing because I didn't like its design. In order to pour the wine into the decanter, you had to, like, pour it through, like, the tip of the dick and had the tiny little slots. They had to, like, like, pour very carefully. That doesn't seem useful. And then on top of that, when they had to pour the wine out of the decanter into the glass, they had to rotate it to an almost unnatural angle. So, yes, it's funny that it's a dick and balls, but next time make it a dick and balls. That makes sense for what you're doing. Thank you.
B
It's poor. It's poor industrial design. It really is. Yeah, it's like 100% the. The dick is, like, bent. It's curled under, which is weird. First of all, for a dick that's supposed to be hard. Hard. It's, like, curled under, like fish hooked. So. And the balls are huge, so they're too far. So when you pour. Yeah, you're right. You have to go, like, turn the
A
wine all the way around the balls. It has to, like, go around the perimeter of the balls just to get to the shaft. Oh, no, actually, you could pour the. Yeah, because, like. Because the dick is going in that direction, so it has to, like, go around and then down. It's like. It's like they didn't test it out. That's my problem. You have to use it.
B
Yeah, I mean, you would think they would. If you're going to mass produce this giant thing, you'd think you would test it. But they didn't. Okay. This town needs more testing is what I'm saying. So Justin's like, watch. I've poured in over the white carpet. Oh, God. Oh, look at this precision. Did I spill it? I'm so locked in. This is what I feel like when I'm shaving my balls.
A
I didn't know you shaved your balls. I'm shocked. It's like, well, how do I explain myself to women that come over? I'm already fighting gay accusations left, left, and right. Jordan accused me of being gay. Well, I mean, because she saw you kiss Michael's. And I in front of her. Oh, yeah.
B
It's one of these guys. One of these guys desperate for attention. So he's gonna go make out with gay guys to get a little attention and then pretend like they're crazy if they like him. And he's like, yeah, that probably didn't help. So one night we're drinking and we're having some fun. And next thing I know, like, I turn around, and Justin's making up with Michael's. And then he turns around and starts making out with Michael.
A
Me. Is Justin a good kisser? Justin is an excellent kisser. So Justin is, like, saying that he took, you know, what's her face home. So, whatever. And he tells us. I mean, I've exclusively dated women, but I think I'm 30% gay, depending on how many tequila sodas I have in me. So fast forward 12 weeks from now to the reunion. All right, Justin, what percentage gay would you say you are? Have you ever experimented with a man? Have you ever had sex with a man? Have you ever had kiss with a man? Okay, we're going to commercial, and and we're back. More questions about how gay is Justin. Tell us more about your sex life, Justin. You know this is going to take up a full on segment of the Southern hospitality reunion.
B
What did you think of the deck decanter that you got? Do you use it? Do you ever lick the. Jeff? Show me using it. Show me. Show me you warming up the decanter.
A
And then Justin tells us. I remember watching Twilight back in the day, looking at Robert Pattinson and thinking, thinking that's a guy I could get behind. Shout out tops. So who knows? But no one's 100% straight. I'm like, you are queer baiting right now. Yeah, I could, I could feel it.
B
You are 100% straight.
A
You're just a straight guy.
B
I hope, I hope, I hope for our sake that you're 100% straight. So Mia's coming back today and Justin's like, yeah, I had a crush on Mia. And then she's like, I'm going to Hawaii, so. So I hope he proposes a story of my life. Right then I probably fuck some guy up the ass. I'm not going to tell you if that's true or not. Just let you wonder.
A
Yeah. First time I really, I met Mia was in Vegas and kind of sensed a certain tension. I could, I don't know, I could be overthinking that there. So Mia's like, I thought he was gay. I thought TJ brought him as a romantic interest and him and TJ were just sharing a room. So you tell me, am I right? So Justin's like, you know, but now they're just pouring more of the wine out and they're joking about tickling the balls to get it out and everything and, you know, whatever. So now we go tickle the balls.
B
You'll get a heavier pour.
A
We go over to Republic and Lake and Maddie say hello. And Michael's like, how are you feeling after the party? Like, it's like, oh my God. My mind was like racing. Like, honestly, I feel like I like stood my ground on how I've been feeling the past couple of months and we've never had a conversation about what happened. And just like, wow.
B
Hey everybody, it's me, Brad. Like, oh, oh. Well, I'm in a much better headspace after talking to my sponsor, but I still have all these unresolved issues with TJ and Mia. So like they were also in the group chat and they were trying to sabotage my relationship, but they haven't tried to talk about me or like try to make amends like Brad did.
A
Um, already. Is everyone ready? Happy Thursday, everyone. Brad, can you stop farting in the fridge, please? Thank you. Another beautiful night at Republic. Are we all excited? Everyone? Can we get excited? Hello, Hello. Anyone excited?
B
Okay, everybody get the floor set up. It's time to, like, set up the floor. So I guess just like, everybody go there and like, set up the floor. So they do. And they're talking about, like, they're gonna be so busy tonight. And Justin goes up to Jordan. He's like, what time you work until? She's like, probably 3:30. Yes, maybe I'll wait up. She's like, okay. Brad's like, me and Julia. So Brad comes up and he's like, me and Julia are gonna have this house in folly for our year to do like a little staycation. So I was thinking we could have like a party, you know, like, you know, a bonding type thing, you know, like me.
A
We'll have everyone there for our one year anniversary. Mia, tj, everyone. Every single person in this place. And he's like telling Maddie this right in front of Emmy. And Emmy's like, putting together the sign furiously, like, so Brad's like, yeah, you know, and we can sit down and talk. And you know, like, I like how when we were able to talk, you know, we made better progress, right? So let's do this. And he's. And he tells us, you know, Maddie's really good. Maddie will take a beef to the graves. The fact that I was able to, like, settle things with her was really good. So hopefully there's hope for her with TJ and Mia.
B
So he's like, okay, so in the spirit of progression, come out. You know, just hear each other out. And Maddie's like, okay, yeah, I want to move forward and I appreciate you inviting me. Okay? So they hug. And Emmy's just watching. It's like, what about me? I mean, what about everything Brad's done to me for, like the past few months? Like all that bullshit he put me through? All that shit he did at the reunion at the hotel? Like, yeah, I'm kind of hoping for a fucking apology.
A
All that stalking. I couldn't even leave my hotel room, okay? Because he was out there breathing into the peephole. It was awful. So then we see Emmy leaving and she's like, fuck it. So Julia walks in. That's Brad's girlfriend. She's like, hi. And he and Joe's like, hey, Brad just invited us to the anniversary party. That seems pretty good. Why do I keep eating these hot dogs? Disgusting. So Joe's like, yeah, so Emmy's like, I wasn't invited. Not invited at all. So Joe's like, really? You weren't invited? Yeah. And asked me who set them up. Who set them up? It was me. Could you tell by the setup of that joke?
B
Yeah, I'd like talk to up so much to Julia. Yeah, but then how come you're not invited to their anniversary party? Joe, Keep up. Joe. I mean, he's like, whatever. Off the party when they break up. But honestly, like, I thought Brad would have cheated on her by now. Burn. I mean, you're talking like you've been cheated on nine million times, babe.
A
Yeah, that's the thing.
B
It's not a burn from you.
A
Brad, this entire time was just trying to warn you that Will has been cheating. Okay, so Michael's like, okay, has anyone seen Joe? Where's Joe? Okay, I'm gonna look for him. He's supposed to be out here, like, leading by example and training you, Justin. Oh, my God. I feel like recently at work, Joe will show up, but, like, showing up is, like, the bare minimum.
B
So the search for Joe continues. Okay, so that's that. So Michaels is like, I feel like recently at work, like, Joe shows up, but, like, he does the bare minimum.
A
Could you go outside for me and train Justin? Joe. Joe's the lead VIP host, and that means you lead and you train. And when you don't do that, it kind of, like, shows the other host that you don't, like, really care about your job. So Joe's like, oh, yeah, sure. So he goes out to Justin's, like. I mean, I feel like he kind of got the seating chart down. So, like, I don't really know what I'm gonna be here for.
B
Yeah, proof that he cares about his job. Okay, Justin knows the seating chart. If he didn't, then you would have a point. Yeah, Joe's just kind of like, whatever. He's like, I'm bored. I've been crushing on the front door for five years. Like, I can do it in my sleep. Like, I want to own my own bar. I feel like Leva gave TJ this incredible opportunity to grow his business. But what about me, Joe? What's your business? Yeah, what is it? TJ came up with wieners. Joe, what did you come up with? You haven't come up with anything. What, are they just handing out wiener businesses? No, he made that wiener business happen.
A
Yeah. Also, did you not watch Vanderpump Rules and see the calamitous path that was Tom and Tom going into business and opening up one and then a second bar. It's not for the faint of heart. So, like, find an ancillary thing, though.
B
Yeah, he doesn't even want to do that. Yeah, he wants to find something that. He just wants Levitt to give him something. That's not how it works, Joe. Okay? Leva will profit off of any idea that you have, but she's not going to come up with an idea for you to profit off of. You dumb.
A
Dumb.
B
And if you want to start a business, start a bump it business. Are you wearing one? Start one of those. I bump it from you. At least Johnny Weir would purchase from you.
A
Yeah, seriously, they have the same haircut. So we see a flashback of when Leva, like, at the. At the Serener event when, like, Leva was congratulations, TJ or something, and Joe's like, hey, lover, I'm next. She's like, huh? I'm next. What?
B
What does that mean? I mean, Joe. Yeah, like, what is that? What are you talking about, Joe? He's like, like, business wise. And she's like, so back to now. He's like, where's my opportunity? When is it my turn? When you do something, Joe, Come up with something. So Julie is asking Brad. She's like, did you invite Emmy to folly? Because I think that you'd be, like, the bigger person if you invited Emmy, because, like, you can't be as her. Invite her and have the conversation. Like, listen, it's the only chance we're gonna get this episode to see Emmy hyperventilate. Okay? Just invite her.
A
It'll just be so fun for all of us. Brad's like, you know, the unsafe comment has been weighing on me more than anything else, so it's not easy for me to deal with it. But me and Emmy haven't talked for damn near a year at this point. I don't know if I'm ready for that yet. And I kind of feel like I understand what Julia is saying, but the unsaved comment is really bad. And I don't think that Brad should be, like, pressured to have to, like, bury the hatchet. I think he should do it on his own terms.
B
Well, he definitely. I mean, I think she's. First of all, Julia is good for tv, because Julia's like, okay, I know you don't want to work this out on private, but you need to call this. This lady out on camera in public at a whole party where the whole cast can get on her about it. And I think that's good advice.
A
Well, I mean, it's good reality show advice because anytime there's a season of two people that are like not talking to each other or avoid avoiding each other, it like actually often ruins the show. Usually get a bad season. So it will be good for this show. But like, on a human level, I can understand if Brad is kind of like, yeah, don't really feel like going back to that place again.
B
Yeah, yeah, you're gonna do it. Call her out. And for her Karen mess on national TV with the whole cast there to back you up. If you're gonna do it, this is the way to do it.

Molly's, like, sitting down, but she's, like, picking out her. Her. Her shorts. And TJ's like, are you all right? What are you doing? Just have, like, sex with Justin or something. Oh, my God. Female gays. And she's like, I'm picking up my wedgie. God. So they say, hello. And then Mia joins. She's like, hello. Sorry, I'm on Hawaii time right now. Which I'm sure they all really wanted to hear. Like, thanks for reminding us that you went to Hawaii. And we're stuck here in this humid city of khakis.
B
Hawaii time. Aloha o'. Clock. Am I right? Hi. So she's like, we had so much fun in Hawaii. And TJ goes, does your butt hurt? She's like, no, I don't do that. Like you. I don't use my butt. Have you been using your butt? So they start talking about their butt. And TJ's like, my butt is buttoned.
A
Is your. Is your butthole? Is. It's. Is your butthole in your butthole? I guess that's what mia says. So TJ's like, yeah. So she's like, guys, I have some news. Like, oh, my God, I'm. Molly goes, are you pregnant? And then. But, like, Mia literally has, like, a shot of alcohol, like, in her mouth.
B
They just took a shot. They're like, cheers, everybody, I have news. Are you pregnant? She just took a shot. Yeah. What's wrong with you? She's. Okay, guys, here's the news. Troy and I broke up. She's got a big smile on her face, and they're like, what? She goes, yeah, yeah, I know. I know. It happened last night. Yeah.
A
Oh, my God, you're lying. He was so hot. I'd like to stare at him. Wait, what happened? What's going on? She's like, yeah, it's. It's. It's over. And they're all like, you know, Molly's like, I was expecting her to come back with a ring. Not single status on her hinge profile or. Excuse me, Raya. She would kill me if I said hinge. So Mia Says, you know, on the last night, we were sitting down there, here, basically, and I was like, you know, what's the end game? And he obviously was thinking, like, about engagement movement, but I was like, no. First thing first is, like, coming down here to Charleston and ending the long distance. And basically, he just didn't want to come down to Charleston.
B
Yeah. So I get it. But it's two years, and he lived out of town. He's like, I can't move. I have a job.
A
She's like, but why? But she's like, I also can't move because I'm on a TV show that's in Charleston.
B
That's so rough. You finally find someone that hot and they can't move. I mean, both of them. Both of them found someone so hot, and they can't. That move. What's the point? Even I know.
A
I agree. I think he should have moved because you could probably replicate whatever job you're doing in Charleston, but you can't replicate being on a TV show up in Charlotte.
B
So not everybody wants that damn mess. Obviously, he didn't, because he skedaddled right out of there. He didn't even try. He was like, bye. And then when he was on screen, he was like a Brett type. Like, hey, yeah. Which was good enough for me. That's all I really needed. But, yeah, everybody doesn't need to be on tv. He's probably like, you need to, like, if you're really into this move to be with me, or is TV more important? And she's like, yeah, it is. Have you been featuring a cardboard cut out of me? You haven't. Bye.
A
Aloha.
B
Aloho. Mahalo. Mahalo. Is that how you say goodbye?
A
I think aloha is hello and goodbye.
B
I thought so, too.
A
I think mahalo. I don't know what mahalo is, actually, is that thank you. You. It works. It. Okay, I'll look it up. Mahalo meaning. And mahalo means thank you. It's mainly in Hawaii, used to express gratitude. Mahalo. Mahalo.
B
Mahalo. Next. So then Mia's like, I cried for, like, three hours on the drive down, you guys. Yeah, I cried. She smiled. She's still got this smile on her face, and she's like, wow, I'm impressed that you cried. That's really hard to do when you're a sociopath. She's like, yeah, I know. And Molly says, yeah. Oh, my God. You got to start something. Like. I mean, like, even his balls. His balls smell bad. Tell people that, like, to just make yourself feel Better and ruin his reputation. And she's like, yeah, his balls. His balls. Like. Like, checks mix. Didn't she say something?
A
Like, she basically. Well, she's like. She's like, well, the thing is this. I'm a really toxic ex. I'm gonna have to start rumors about him that he has a small dick. I'm telling everyone he has shrimp dick. And they're like, yeah, he's got like. Like, say that's bosma bash. Like, yeah, they smell like check mix. Gross. Yeah.
B
I've never heard of checks.
A
Balls.
B
Yeah. Do balls smell like. I think balls smell like crayons. One. One guy. One time a guy was like, you know, the thing I don't like about balls, not my balls personally, but he was like, the thing I don't like about balls is that they smell like crayons. And I was like, that's so stupid. And then over the years, I'm like, balls do kind of smell like crayons. I've never heard Chex mix.
A
I haven't heard that either, but I could see that. Actually, it was like they. They alternate between Checks Mix and Trail M Mix. So then trail mix.
B
Yeah, I mean, check mix. Checks mix calls up a smell. Trail mix doesn't call up a smell. A smell.
A
It can have a smell. It depends. There's a lot of different types of trail mix out there, too. Like, if you have a lot of the pretzels in there. If you have, like, a. What do you like that? Like, a sesame. A sesame crunch thing going on? So TJ Is like. He's like, wait, would you ever smell Justin's balls? Because he said he has a crush on you. He has a really cool new decanter. I don't know who got it for him, but that person's probably pretty cool. Mia's like, wait, why does he. He has a crush on me. Because Justin's hot.
B
Yeah.
A
Did Molly tell you that? Like, she went on a little, like, tequila soiree with Justin, by the way. Molly, tell him. Tell him about the sw.
B
So then we see a flashback to last week, and Justin's like, yeah, Molly. I'm like an onion.
A
Ew.
B
First of all, gross. That means you smell. I mean, I know that's not what. Like, I'm an. It means, like, peel back my layers. But it. So that evokes a smell. That's like saying Chex Mix. That evokes a smell. And it's the smell of bo.
A
But also, he says I smell the same too. So, like, no, I know you're trying to be like, I know he wasn't saying he smelled, but it makes me think of him smelling. But then he's like, no, I do smell. He goes, I smell the same too, but some girls are into that, so it works. She goes, I prefer showers. We're in the South.
B
Yeah. She's just grossed out by him right away. And he goes, okay, well, I got one back in my apartment. She's like, so me is like, what did you do? She goes, nothing, because he's rendezvousing with my new roommate. And then we see Jordan, Molly's new roommate.
A
Jordan better not have taken Cloris Leachman's job. That's all I gotta say. No.
B
Didn't you see her? She's in this episode.
A
I didn't see Cloris.
B
Yes, she was in the kitchen when maybe we already saw her, but I think she's in the kitchen at some point when Maddie and Emmy are back there, like, putting something on a sign.
A
Oh, I have to go back and look.
B
Look.
A
I must have gotten distracted. So Molly. Right? Of course she does. She's an icon. So Molly says, justin's banging my roommate, then trying to bang me, and now trying to bang Mia. The dude needs a little lock on his pants. He needs a chastity belt. He got mollied. So TJ Is like, molly's really trying
B
it with the one liners, but they're. They're not great. They're not great. Molly's confessional one liners need some work.
A
By the way, Mia, I almost brought your cutout just next to me. And M's like, oh, my God. I know. That's hilarious, because Manny tried to fix your head for you on it. And Molly's like, yeah. She literally was like, boom, boom, boom. Yeah. She stepped all over your cutout. All over your cutout. Feet on the cutout. Mia's like, oh, my God. I'm gonna confront her about that when I go to Folly for being disrespectful to. To my poster.
B
It was $200. She goes, yeah, yeah, that cost money. So they're like, let's send it to Troy. Why are you guys laughing so hard about poor Troy getting dumped? Yeah, I love Troy. Troy is so hot. And he was nice. He only got dumped because of distance. That's not fair to mock. Troy. Troy, get over here. I know you're upset. Come here.
A
Get over my face. Ronnie's face.
B
Come here. Get into my butts on your little. Your hair. Can I have some of your hair?
A
Hair?
B
Can we get that implanted into my head in Turkey. Okay,
A
well, it's a new day at Republic, and so Joe and Leva are sitting down for a chat because Joe wants to talk about business. So he's like, I've busted my ass for the past five years doing the same job, and man's like, do you think you're ready, Joe? Joe? Cuz there's a flashback leading up to. Do you think you're ready to, like, talk to Leva about it? It's like, yeah, 100%. I need to grow. And I'm sick of just, like, waiting for something to happen because, like, it. I'll just, like, text Leva, like, what should I say? Ask Chat GPT. Okay. Chat GPT says, hey, Leva, I hope this message finds you well. I hope there are opportunities where our skills and experience could align to create something. Maybe a PowerPoint that shows how I'm such good friends with TJ. Wait, what are you talking about? Sorry, I kind of use it for my own purposes.
B
It could be something. Adva. Adva. How do you say this? Advochies. Advogues. Do you want me to add her on LinkedIn, too? Like, come on. I'm just gonna say, hey, Leva, can we meet? And so they meet. So he comes in, and Leva's like, how you been, Joe? That.
A
And he's like, I've been great. You know, I'm so grateful to work here. I'm, like, not going anywhere. I'm like, team Republic till the day I die. She's like, yeah, yeah, we know. But by the way, what? Didn't Joe already get a promotion? And then didn't he already lose that promotion in season two? I think. I think at the end of season one, he, like, really wanted to step it up and be, like, a manager. And then season two, he had been demoted back down to door guy. Right? Or maybe that was going on from season two.
B
That was three.
A
Am I crazy?
B
I think that was. Did Joe get a. I remember Emmy did. Remember, they made Emmy a manager, and then they made her a manager at another place. And she's like, yeah, I'm a Republic girl. I'm not a boots and bobbles girl or whatever the fuck that restaurant. Honest. So. But, yeah, maybe they did with the job, but I think it's always been a VIP host, basically.
A
A lot of these people go up and down because I think Emmy. Yeah, Emmy was a manager, but now she's back down to being Normie. It's hard to. It's hard to track It's a very complicated system they have going on over there. So love is like, how you been, Joe? And he's like, I've been great. Like, you know, I'm so grateful to work here. And, like, I'm not going anywhere. Like I said, I'm just gonna repeat myself. Yes, we know, Joe. But also, like, I'm turning 30 and I August, and I have to do what's best for me, and I want to grow professionally. And, like, I have dreams. Huh? You know, like, in my mind. Like, I've got mind. Dreams. Dreams in my mind. Like, these dreams go on when I close my eyes, you know? One of them.
B
Yeah, One of them is like, these monkeys. Like, they're on tricycles, and they're like, going around in a circle, and people are like, monkeys drive tricycles? And I'm like, I don't doubt it because it's a dream. And you don't doubt stuff in dream. Joe, could you get to the point?
A
I would like to build my dream concept with my mentors. My concept was an upside down piano because it was a dream, but I know that, like, I can't. I can not only be an employee, like, but I could be a business partner. She's like, okay, well, Joe, it doesn't really work that way. It's like, I can't, like, go to my employer and be like, hey, I just want growth and I want this. But then at the same time, I'm like, not showing up to work, and you've just been slacking king.
B
And he's just like, don't.
A
His big eye.
B
He just, like, blinks his eyes. He's like, but I said growth. Like, how could you talk to me like that?
A
Love is like, every time I'm around Joe, I almost feel like I'm in the twilight zone. I'm like, we had this conversation a year ago, and like, a year ago where Leva was like, hey, if you want to grow this business, you have to be showing up at work. You can't just, like, go on the road with Maddie on her DJ tour.
B
Tour, yeah. She's like. And did he do that? No, like, he went on tour with Maddie. So, like, I cannot stop my business because you want to follow your girlfriend around the country. So you left with Maddie. And he's like, yeah, but like, she's suffering from anxiety, and she's like, I need you with me. And it's not, like, disrespectful thing, you know, Like, I just chose to be by Maddie's side and I missed some shifts. So what? She's like, yeah, but, like, you're sacrificing stuff, Joe. And, you know, you're, like, in a really good position that could have moved up, and you. You just stopped coming to work, and you were like, hey, whatever, I book tables online.
A
Like, I fucked up. I fucked up, Joe. I stopped showing up. But then I came back to work and I worked my ass off, and I feel like I'm back at square one. And, like, it's not motivating for me. Like, you have to motivate me so that way I could be a better worker. So that way, you. You can go into business with me.
B
You have to motivate me to give me a business. You understand?
A
Hello. It's called a paycheck, Joe. The motivation is for you to get the business, not for her to give you motivations. That way you show up, so that way then she can give you the business.
B
Oh, Joe, come on, buddy. Joe. Jojo. Like, yeah, I just don't understand it, you know? Like, I don't know if this is arrogant to say, but, like, you need to, like, feel that respect, like, reciprocated. Like, I came back to work a week ago, and I've been, like, doing good, Joe, you've been back one week. Why are you acting like I came back full force?
A
Love was like, is Joe out of his mind? Yeah, because everyone's like, when are they going to give you a place? She goes, well, anyone who thinks we're giving anybody anything or not, we're building something with somebody that's. That's reliable, okay? Like, you're not reliable. Does he just think I'm going? She goes, does he think I'm just gonna hand out businesses like Oprah hands out cars? I mean, sure, at one point, Joe was valuable to us. It was always the plan with Lamar and I to have Joe run one of our businesses, but, like. And have equity in one of them. But, like, he basically gave us a big fuck you. And Joe's like, but, like, can you give me a business, though? He literally saying, like, can you? He was like, can you give me just. Can you come up with something and give it to me?
B
He's just saying every wrong thing in this meeting. He's like, yeah, but that hurts my feelings. Nobody cares. Joe, you're not showing up to work. No, it's not about your feelings, and it's not about your girlfriend's anxiety. Like, that's crazy. I cannot imagine going into work and then being like, you fucked up me being like, but Bueller's got anxiety. So sorry. I feel like I've been.
A
I've been the face of your company. I've been the pompadour of your company. And when I'm here, I'm incredible. It's. I'm hard to replace. It's like, when I'm here. Right?
B
Yeah.
A
You know, love is like, I'm the face of my company.
B
Yeah. She's like, I literally have a TV show about my company, you dumbass. And she goes, joe, you have been replaced. Okay? This business doesn't wait for you. You think this bar rots itself? No. There are so many people working to not clean the floors properly in this bar so that it smells like a barn. Do you understand? That doesn't just happen without hard work. Joe, you've been replaced. His name is Justin, okay? He's down there showing girls that he's taking home matches because he wants the female gays. That is someone making an effort, Joe.
A
Okay, Joe, you think you're the only person who can point at a man wearing khaki shorts from Tommy Bahama and say, you get in here? No. You think you're the only one who can spot a lady in Talbots and find a table for her? No. Many people can do that, Joe.
B
But the thing that hurts the most is, like, loyalty. Because, like, to say, like, I'm replaceable, Like, that hurts. That hurts. It's like making a movie and Brad Pitt doesn't show up to work. Like, you're not going to replace Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt has been replaced. It was called the Departed, sir.
A
He will be replaced. Actually, that will literally happen. If Brad Pitt does not show up to a movie shoot, they will fire him. Even Brad Pitt?
B
Yes. They will play Brad.
A
That was supposed to be in the Departed. I didn't know that.
B
Yeah, I looked it up. I said, what are some movies that Brad Pitt was replaced in? And that was one. And then he was replaced by Russell Crowe in another one, which seems Gladiator maybe. No, it wasn't Gladiator. It was like, State of Play. State of Play.
A
Oh, that's such a deep cut. I remember.
B
Wow.
A
State of Play. That was, like, just prior to Gladiator, right?
B
Say what you want about me, but I do my research. Wow.
A
State of play.
B
I'm a professional.
A
State of not play. Am I right? Because he got fired. Oh, my God, it feels so good to finally. Oh, that was from 2009. Really? Geez. Okay, well, Joe is being so stupid right here, and it's Hilarious. And I'm cracking up. And I'm loving how love is just like. Like, what is wrong with you? And so love is like, would you be able to work for the next eight months, the next year? Do Thursday, Friday, Saturday while Maddie's on tour. 100%. I will go on tour with Maddie and check in on a Friday afternoon via email. A hundred percent.
B
100%. I will book tables Thursday, Friday, and Saturday online. So, yes, she's like, I'd love for you to prove me wrong, but, like, right now, I don't even know if you will. Oh, really? Then why am I in Ocean's Eleven? You're not Brad Pitt, Joe.
A
Last time I checked, I'm going to the Oscars because I was not in F1 best picture of the year. And guess who won F1. Guess what? And F is me. Joe, you're not even making any sense anymore.
B
I'm going to show you a clip from F1 and prove to you that I was. That's an empty car, Joe. There's no one in the car seat. Maddie had a gig, so, like, sorry, she had anxiety.
A
Joe, your race car is just sitting on the track. Everyone's going by you. Yeah, I couldn't race today because Matty was performing at West Lynn, so.
B
So now we're at Folly Beach, 20 minutes away from Charleston. I like that. They're like, 20 minutes away from Charleston. Okay, could you show me the traffic on the way there? So I know how long it's going to take me? Are there any alternate routes? What the. Do I care where it is? What is this? Map quest.
A
I know quest.
B
You like my map quest reference. What is this?
A
What do you want? You want me to look maps? Well, you want me to look up on Yahoo, this location?
B
Listen here. I'm gonna get there. I'm gonna find out how busy it is on MSN Traffic.
A
Okay, well, give me a moment to search up this beach on Bing, and I'll get right back to you.
B
20 minutes away from Charleston. Okay, so Graham and Mas Mais Lin of Calabria's Catering is there. I'm glad. Welcome, guys. So Julia comes in, and Brad's there. He's like, oh, my God, I don't even want to kiss you. You look so good. Yeah. So then he's saying he's so happy. It's like, the first time he's been in a relationship where there's a future. It's going to be super special. And they're using his client's house, and it's really Nice. They got a private chef, and he got her a Manny and a Petty and a new dress.
A
All the nice things. Yeah. All the beautiful sex.
B
Like, oh, my God. Is it an amex? What?
A
Oh, no. You were frozen for a moment there, but it looks like. Looks like it powered through. You're back now. So.
B
Yeah, they're getting Botox. Darling, I'm supposed to look this way.
A
Oh, beautiful.
B
And can you hear me?
A
Yeah, I can hear you. Can you hear me?
B
Can you see me? Oh, can you hear me? See?
A
Are you throwing your voice into the microphone?
B
Yeah.
A
So what were you mentioning that they're staying at this house?
B
Yeah. She gets him a gift, and it's a card, and he's like, oh, my God, is she getting me an amex? And it's not. It's like a gold card, and it's got his father's handwriting on it, and
A
it says, it's really lovely.
B
Yeah, it is. What a good gift.
A
I know. Like, that's kind of like an amazing gift. I don't know how she even thought about that. I didn't know that was. That existed. So. So it's a nice moment, and he's really touched by it, and he was just happy that they could do something before everyone gets here. And, you know, we did find out that he does. He did invite Emmy. And we see a flashback. He's like, well, I invited everyone else out to Folly, and I wanted to extend an invite to you as well. And I don't want you to think that's going to be some kind of ambush. So I do want to talk to you, and then we'll ambush you. Okay. Does that sound good to you? She's like, I will definitely be there. I will make all the beds and put out a charcuterie to try. Yes.
B
So he's like, you know, know if everyone else is going to be solving their issues, you know, there's going to be a massive elephant in the room if I don't invite Emmy. So, you know, Julia made me see it that way, so I'm going to do it. And Julia's like, yeah, that unsafe comment. That stuck with me. And I think it's time for Emmy to say sorry, so let's do it. And she said. He says, well, I think she wants an apology from me. And she's like, absolutely not.
A
Okay, Tomorrow will no longer be our one year if you apologize to Emmy. So now everyone's time to go out to Folly. Okay, let's get the Folly time. Everyone's getting the car TJ Gets to go in the front seat because he's hungover. And Michaels holds up a banana and pretends to hold up Justin. He's like, put your hands up. Just like, oh, my God. They're driving off. There's another car with Maddie Lake, Emmy, and Joe. And Emmy's like. Like, oh, my. Oh, my God, I forgot my good camera. That's. But that's because I don't think about taking pictures when I'm going to war.
B
It's like, yeah, I don't love that he waited until last minute to invite me. But, like, I'm not going to like, being the person who says no when, like, someone gives me an invitation. I mean, that being said, like, being in a social setting with these people, like, yeah, I'm. I'm on edge. I'm on edge. I'm on edge. We know. Yeah, we know. Emmy, you're resting. Always on edge, crackhead.
A
Yeah. So Emmy is like an adorable little lizard. She doesn't look like a lizard, but the way lizards are always like, oh, my God. Like, lizards always have that vibe, like, yes. And then they just scamper away.
B
That's what. I'm here in Texas. I know it's. I know that spring is coming because I opened the door to go outside, and there's always a lizard that's been sitting there or something that I haven't seen. That's like, I'm going to work. It's like every time you open the front door.
A
No, no. The hell.
B
Why are you sitting on the front doorstep? You know this is gonna happen.
A
So they are. People arrive that we see a succession of people arriving at the table at the house. Grace. Lily shows up at the whole. Both cars show up, and Mia is there and everything. And Mia's like. Like, hugs Justin and he's asking how. Why it was. There's just like, a lot of sort of patter as more and more people arrive. And Emmy's saying, I won't let these. I won't let these people get under my skin. Jokeo. When it's raining. Come on. I'm. We're going to do it. We're going to do it. We're going to war. Going to war.
B
So Mia. So Maddie comes over, she sees Mia, and she goes, oh, my God. Hi, Mia. And she hugs her. And Mia's like, okay, so you're not going to step on me today? And Maddie's just like,
A
I missed the first episode, so I'm going to have a cardboard fight.
B
Yeah. How dare you assault My cardboard cutout. I mean, for real, what the. TJ paid a lot of money for that cutout to represent me in his thing, his wiener thing. And that you doing that was really disrespect. It was just. It was disrespectful to me. It was disrespectful to tj. It was disrespectful to wieners. It was respectful disrespectful to FedEx. It was disrespectful to Slash Kinkos.
A
So me, I was like. I was on the beach chilling, and then they're like, maddie just. They say that Maddie just, like, pushed her down and stepped all over it. I mean, that's disrespectful. Where I come from, everyone knows. Step on me, that's a problem. Step on my Sandee, that's an even bigger problem. And she's like, whatever. It, like, probably costs, like, $3. Like, calm the down. Which I know that if we're the other way around, Maddie would be losing her mind, too, because of last year when she and Joe put together a bouquet, and then it flew off into the sky. And she's like, joe, that was. Was like, $45. Joe.
B
It wasn't $3. It was $200. And I also had to get another 201 made of my boyfriend so that my other cardboard cutout could make out. Could break up with the cardboard cutout of my boyfriend. And unfortunately, I had to dump a guy with a footprint on my face. Maddie.
A
Wow. Okay. Like, whatever. Like, it's okay. Like, it's fine. Like, she's like, you know, like, just don't be pushing down posters of me and walking over me. That means something to me. She goes, girl, it's a cardboard cutout. I didn't actually punch you in the face. Just don't resort to that. Don't play like that.
B
But I just feel like I was really hurt about you and T.J. and Brad knowing all that stuff and never telling me. She was. I wasn't even in the group chat, Maddie. I was not in the group chat. Just. Aha. You were. Emmy showed it to me. I was not in the group chat, Manny. Okay? I swear to God. I swear on my mother. I don't even know. Like. And she was. Yes, you were. You were liking things. You were in the chat about the Trev. The Sammy. She's like, no, I wasn't. The first time I heard about that was the same year that you heard about at the reunion. I mean, please let it go. I mean, I cannot believe. I swear on everything I know. And then it shows her in the. In the confessional, and she's looking at her phone. She goes, yeah, I'm. I'm in the group chat.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah, remember this? I'm sure I didn't say anything. And she's looking through it. She's like, oh, yeah, I did like that. Oh, yeah. Lol. Yeah. I don't remember. I don't remember this.
A
I don't remember it. But if I did, I probably would have liked it at the time.
B
So how do you not remember it? How do you not remember being in a group chat where everybody's talking about getting on camera that Maddie's boyfriend cheated on her when she didn't?
A
Here's. Here's how. Because, like, I have been added into random group chats that are really annoying, and I just don't pay any attention to them. And they just go and go and go. And then once in while, a while, I'll, like, open it up, and I'll just sort of see the latest comments. I'm like, huh? And I'll like, like the comments to be, like, a good participant. And then I go back to ignoring it. So I 100 know how she was in a group chat. I was not paying attention whatsoever. I've been there.
B
Yeah, that's a pretty big one, though. So she's like, yeah, you know, I was just hurt. Okay, so. And, you know, like, then you're gonna be their henchmen, and it's hard not to put you in the house.
A
That box.
B
And she's like, henchmen girl. She goes, yeah, because, like, TJ And Brad, they're your friends, and you defend them instead of the women. She's like, oh. And Brad's like, would anyone like gift bags? And she's like, I am team woman. How dare you, Maddie. Okay, but we have gift bags over here. Maddie's like, that's what I thought, because then when Emmy showed me it, your name was on there, and I was like, oh, my God. Women supporting women. Where'd that go?
A
I'm telling you, I wasn't on it. I would not lie to you. Okay? One thing I don't do is that. Which is funny, because the group text, if you were a participant of the group text, that meant that you were actively lying to her the whole time. So, like, it would actually be very conceivable that you would lie about being in the group text, because the group text in itself was about perpetuating a lie. But in this case, it seems like she had genuinely somehow forgotten, and she's like, I wouldn't have done that. I wouldn't have done that. So then she realizes that she was in this group text, and she's like, well, so funny.
B
Because the way she realizes. They make it look like. Because Emmy goes, mia's in the group chat, okay? Like, she totally is in the group chat. I mean, I literally still have the group chat. And they make it look like Emmy texts Mia from the group chat because Mia's phone dings, and she's like, oh, my God. I'm in the group chat.
A
Yeah. So Maddie. They decide basically to squash it. And she's. And Maddie's like, well, I'm sorry at the Sir Wieners party that it felt like I had a lot of PTSD and, like, a lot of old feelings came up. And I'm sorry that I stomped on your face. My cardboard face? Yes, your cardboard face, which is the same as my real face.
B
Well, it's like.
A
That's kind of what I just said, but, like, you have to honor the cardboard, but also acknowledge it's my face you stepped on. You stepped on my face. You're stepping on it right now.
B
Don't abuse my cardboard, okay? I was like a voodoo doll. I felt hit when I was in Hawaii. I was like, oh,
A
so Brad is like, aloha. Are we better? Look at. Oh, look at your goodie bag. I'm really just trying to push the goodie bag thing. Look, guys, I'm grown up. I made goodies bags. I mean, I was like, yeah, we squashed it. And can that be the theme of the night tonight? Squashing it? Because that'd be really nice. Yeah. Squash that beef. Squash that beef. Squash that beef. I love Maddie doing Bravo. Con a chance. So then 30 minutes later, cut to Brad and Emmy. Brad confronting Emmy and saying, why did you say that? I made you feel unsafe? She goes, I was scared. I was scared. I was scared. You were scared of Bradley?
B
Bradley Carter.
A
I was scared. I was scared of. And Emmy just, like, having a classic hyperventilating meltdown in the middle of folly.
B
Freaking out. Hyperventil, of course, leaving. And she goes outside. She's like, I feel unsafe. It's like, oh, Emmy girl.
A
Classic. Emmy.
B
Classic. Well, what a show.

Hosts: Ben Mandelker & Ronnie Karam
Date: March 12, 2026
This episode dives deep into the drama of Southern Hospitality Season 4, Episode 2, titled “Powerpoint Taken.” Ben and Ronnie gleefully dissect the messy personal histories, ongoing feuds, and latest party mishaps among the Charleston crew. The central theme revolves around Maddie’s attempt to resolve long-standing resentments—most iconically, with a late-night PowerPoint presentation “in defense of friendship.” The hosts praise, critique, and lampoon the cast’s emotional entanglements, fueling their trademark blend of sharp insight and Bravo fandom.
Bravo Show Longevity: Ben and Ronnie agree that what makes these ensemble reality shows so delicious is their long history of unresolved arguments and emotional baggage.
The “Blowjob Behind the Trash Can” Lore: The infamous rumor about Bradley getting a blowjob, and its fallout, is not forgotten.
Recap of Events: The hosts walk listeners through the escalating argument between Maddie and Brad at TJ’s “Sir Wieners” event.
Hosts’ Take: Ronnie points out the hypocrisy and emotional murkiness of the group, noting that even those now apologizing (like Brad) still justify their actions rather than truly making amends.
The Iconic Move: Maddie, tormented by the accusation that she was “never friends” with TJ, makes a PowerPoint documenting their history together—complete with photographic evidence.
Ben & Ronnie’s Laughter: The hosts delight in the absurdity and emotional earnestness of Maddie’s all-nighter, imagining her presenting slides of Starbucks selfies and Universal Studio trips.
Ronnie (re: show lore, 04:53):
“You need to know the fight behind the fight, because it’s never about the current fight. It’s like real life.”
On group lies and trust (Maddie, 17:40):
“My world is reality was blown up. Like, I blew up my own relationship because I trusted you. Like, I did love him, like, a lot.”
Julia (the sponsor) on Maddie’s scheme (27:46):
“So you came home last night after the fight and went up to your room and made a PowerPoint presentation?”
Maddie on her own growth (21:28):
“I was 22. Toxic as s***. So we’re f***ing—You okay? I love—she’s talking like she has so much perspective now. Like, I was 22. I know.”
Justin, about his sexuality (35:40):
“I’ve exclusively dated women, but I think I’m 30% gay, depending on how many tequila sodas I have in me.”
Leva on business (61:12):
“Joe, you have been replaced. Okay? This business doesn’t wait for you.”
Emmy, in full Emmy mode (75:15):
“I was scared. I was scared. I was scared.”
Ben and Ronnie bring their signature combination of affectionate shade, keenness for reality TV nuance, and boisterous humor. The episode is rich in callbacks, on-the-fly impressions, and in-jokes only a true Bravo devotee would catch (“Don’t abuse my cardboard, okay?”).
They cleverly weave critiques of cast behavior with Bravo meta-humor, continually reminding listeners that beneath all the drinks and drama, these are just very messy, very entertaining humans—plus, there’s always another beef to squash and another PowerPoint to make.
Endnote:
Episode two confirms the power of petty, the need for receipts (PowerPoint optional), and the never-ending mess that makes Bravo, and podcasts like Watch What Crappens, so damn fun.
