7. Carl’s Soft Bar Launch
- Soft Opening, Hard Feelings: The group attends the “soft launch” of Carl’s Soft Bar—a non-alcoholic venue in Brooklyn. There’s admiration for Carl’s achievement but bubbling tension over Kyle’s Loverboy not being included on the menu—despite prior arrangements.
- Ronnie: “Kyle tells us… not only did we discuss Soft Bar serving Lover Boy… I literally connected him with our distributor… I think he owes it to Kyle to be like, Hey bro, we’re... not going to use your Lover Boy.” (32:20)

- Wes (sarcastically): “She booked our wedding venue already.” (31:07)
9. The Tense Parental Reunion: Lindsay & Sharon
- Lindsay vs. Sharon (Carl’s Mom): A highlight scene is the icy confrontation between Lindsay and Sharon. The hosts debate who is at fault—Sharon for past shading and manipulations, or Lindsay for being “over-the-top rude.”
- Ronnie: “I kind of think that Lindsay was being over the top rude… she was actively cold…” (43:08–44:13)
- Sarah: “Sharon earned every bit of treatment that you just gave her after dragging your ass on camera all season last year…” (45:34)
