Speaker 1:
[00:22] Well, hello, and welcome to Watch What Crappens! I'm Ronnie, that's Ben over there. Hello, Ben.

Speaker 2:
[00:29] Hi, Ronnie, how's it going?

Speaker 1:
[00:32] I'm good, I'm giving Mueller some butt scratches. He just came in for some butt scratches right at the start. Okay, are you good? I'm good here, buddy, okay, that's all you're gonna get today. Welcome to Southern Hospitality Day. If you want this recap on video, or you want bonus episodes this week of Survivor, or you want Discord server, a free newsletter, or ad-free listening, that is all available on patouillon.com/watch what crappens. So go over there and check it out. Today is Southern Hospitality Season Four, Episode Eight. What's it called? My Chemical Bromance.

Speaker 2:
[01:10] I have really never been happier to not be part of a trend. Like I have been not being part of the emo scene. Gosh, I watched this episode and I was like, I am so glad that like I missed this window. I was already like an adult, you know? Like it made me so happy.

Speaker 1:
[01:30] It's a long window though, right? Cause they did it on Vanderpump Rules like two years ago.

Speaker 2:
[01:35] Yeah. I mean, I guess like, I guess like though, I mean, emo was a big thing, but I'm just saying like, I'm glad that when I was in high school, like the vibes are more like a grunge. I like the grunge thing.

Speaker 1:
[01:48] You meant back then, the emo thing.

Speaker 2:
[01:50] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[01:50] Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[01:52] Yeah. Like I was already-

Speaker 1:
[01:52] Yeah, the emo thing was happening when I was young, but I was already emo. So to me, it was just a bunch of fakers. I was like, I've been doing this since I was a baby. Now you guys just put on some eyeliner and some movement. Get the fuck out of here.

Speaker 2:
[02:05] Yeah. Cause I felt like emo was just sort of like a more diluted grunge, a more diluted goth mixed together, or just make like largely generic music. I mean, I definitely have some emo songs in my library. You know, I've got some yellow card. I've got like Hoobastank. You know, I've got all those things, but like just so glad I never got caught up in the spiky haired bullshit and the mascara. I'm like, oh, it just feels. Yes, I have a faux hawk. I had a faux hawk in 2005 that was never quite properly formed. Yeah. It was not a triumph, but I'm just-

Speaker 1:
[02:41] Yeah, cause I remember, I didn't know you though, but I've seen pictures of you, yeah, with a faux hawk.

Speaker 2:
[02:45] At like a little peak. It was like a little something. It was like a little bird house. But I never quite shaved the side of my head, so it didn't quite look like a faux hawk. It just looked like my hair just rose up.

Speaker 1:
[03:00] Yeah, I had a moment in my 20s where I was like combat, and in high school actually, where I was like combat boots and all black, and I wore a long black trench coat, and I had really long black hair that was curly, and that I could sometimes put up, let's face it, the look was not great. But back then, that wasn't really a thing. But yeah, that was a look, and I remember I went to my sister's college, she spent her first year in Lubbock, and that is like real like Texas-y, cowboy Texas-y, and I was walking through a Walmart dress like that, and people were like, what the fuck is that piece of shit walking in our Walmart? But I don't know if that was Emo or not, was it? I guess it's close. I really loved my docs though. I had to make a look to work with the docs, because I just really wanted those docs so bad. The point is, at least we earned it back then. We felt it. We were like, Emo, these people didn't earn it.

Speaker 2:
[04:00] Yeah, like moshing to like a fallout boy, whatever. Before we start the show, shout out to the Fixing Famous People podcast, Chris Rosen, Dominic Pupa. Thank you for having me on. That episode is now live. And we talk about Misha Barton and her life and times, my experiences with her and how we can fix her, get her back on the right track. It was a really, really fun and funny podcast. So go check that out wherever you listen to podcasts. Thanks for having me on, guys.

Speaker 1:
[04:37] Yeah, go check it out. Oh, and tell people where to vote for your board game podcast too, because there were confused people in comments yesterday trying to find it.

Speaker 2:
[04:45] Okay, so a few things on that. So it's at the website is boardgamegeek.com and then you do slash golden geek, boardgamegeek.com/goldengeek. But the thing is this, if you want to vote, what I've now learned is you do have to be a member of the website and then you have to have a thing called like geek gold. So honestly, if it's like too much of a pain, like don't bother. I get it. I'm not trying to get everyone to sign up for things and whatever. Geek gold is like this currency.

Speaker 1:
[05:18] They need to like geek out to vote for the geek thing, you see?

Speaker 2:
[05:21] Yeah. And like, I don't know, I have geek gold that I can give people, but I don't know if that's quote unquote ethical for an award, like an awards thing for me to be like, here's some geek gold.

Speaker 1:
[05:31] He was buying votes with the geek gold.

Speaker 2:
[05:34] I don't know if that's right to do. So like, if you can't do it, it's fine. I will not be offended. Like I appreciate it. I appreciate the people who messaged me about it. I appreciate it, but like, please don't spend any. I don't know if it costs money to get the geek gold. I just sort of, if you contribute a lot to those forms, you just sort of naturally get it because people just have it. It's weird. I don't know. I don't know how it works, but like, please don't spend any money if they, if that's a thing. Because someone said like, I donated to the site to get geek gold, but it still wouldn't let me do it. I'm like, please don't spend money to do this.

Speaker 1:
[06:03] Oh no, oh gosh.

Speaker 2:
[06:05] If you happen to be a member already or whatever, I would appreciate your vote, but don't go above and beyond. In my pursuit of my own personal egot, I appreciate the sentiment nonetheless.

Speaker 1:
[06:17] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[06:18] They should make it easier.

Speaker 1:
[06:19] Well, that's cool.

Speaker 2:
[06:19] I don't know why they do that.

Speaker 1:
[06:21] Well, you know, I've always said the same thing about taxes. So here we go. Mia is doing laser hair removal. We can't want you to win that thing.

Speaker 2:
[06:32] Thank you. Thank you.

Speaker 1:
[06:33] I want you to be like, we're not just some Bravo podcast. Ben has a geek. He has a golden geek.

Speaker 2:
[06:40] I also record a podcast with several middle-aged straight men, guys. We talk about cards and dice.

Speaker 1:
[06:49] Yeah. That's my man. So Mia is doing at-home laser hair. I've always wondered how this works, because I have one of those things. And I was like, ow! And I didn't even do it on my nuts. But she was doing it on her bikini line and, you know, screamed every time that it zapped her. But I don't know, it gave me some kind of strength. I was like, maybe I can try again. Not really on my nuts. I don't know if you're supposed to use it on your nuts, but I would try it like on my shoulders or wherever I'm starting to get like little old man hairs coming up. But I think I did it wrong. But maybe I didn't do it wrong because I screamed. So I guess that's what you have to do. I'll try it next time at the bathtub. So she FaceTimes with TJ who's in New York and he's like, Oh my God, it's so nice to be out of Charleston. We're going to gay meeting. We're going to gay bars and stuff. And it's going to be crazy. We're going to find some guys. And I want to hear about the paint and sip though. And she's like, those fucking girls are like ridiculous. Like it's like in middle school. Like you held hands with my boyfriend. I don't like you. It's like this whole, I'm dipped out. I dipped out.

Speaker 2:
[07:53] I dipped out. What do you mean? Because that's it. Oh, gotcha. Wait, did you really need that clarification, TJ? Wait, when you said dipped out, did you mean that you went and bought like a lot of dip and then you ran out? She's like, no, I meant that I'm done with it. Oh, okay. Just want to be sure. Thanks. So she says, this whole Justin thing, I'm done with it. I'm over it at this point. I don't need all this drama. I got other things to focus on. You know, I've got athlete DMs to answer back to.

Speaker 3:
[08:18] Hee hee.

Speaker 2:
[08:19] And she's like, I'm just so jealous that you're in New York.

Speaker 3:
[08:22] If I were there, I would have had six boyfriends by now.

Speaker 2:
[08:24] And she's like, yeah, me too, I don't have any boyfriends, but that's okay. I'll bring you back some dumplings from New York. You're down with some soggy old dumplings, right?

Speaker 1:
[08:36] I feel like if I ever got DMs from an athlete, they would just say something like, please stop trying. Or like, some people just weren't born for this.

Speaker 2:
[08:50] I don't think I'm ever going to get a DM from an athlete. That's just like not in my cards. I don't know what that would even be like.

Speaker 1:
[08:59] So a guy with a baby stroller passes and he's like, excuse you, you're in the middle of the fucking walkway. Look around. Jesus. You're the one walking your baby through a busy street, sir. I'm calling child services.

Speaker 2:
[09:13] And in TJ's defense, TJ was a little bit off to the side. Like there was plenty of room for you and your baby vehicle, sir. But I did laugh also. So then we see Michael's and he's like arriving with his talent manager, Corey. And he's like, hi, welcome to New York. How was your flight? It was honestly like not so bad. Like I made out with all the people in my row. It was like kind of amazing, like very liberating. Like it was a little weird when I like took off my shirt, like in the middle of landing, but like everyone was down with it. It was pretty cool. I know.

Speaker 1:
[09:46] I wish my mom was there to see it. So he's like, okay, we've got photos from the So.Gay shoot. Okay. This is the cover. It is you standing extremely awkwardly in a gigantic shoulder padded blazer. We just look at him.

Speaker 2:
[10:02] He's like, that is so okay. Michael's like, oh, my God.

Speaker 3:
[10:11] That's like sick.

Speaker 2:
[10:12] Oh, my God. So this will be your first cover. I love it. Like and I think it's like giving old Hollywood glamour. Can someone remind me what actually is old Hollywood glamour? I just sort of said it. Is this oh, I take it back. This is not giving old Hollywood glamour. This has nothing like old Hollywood glamour.

Speaker 1:
[10:32] I was going to say, what, who? Could you name one old Hollywood glamour person that this reminds you of? I was like, yeah, I was sitting there and I was like, that's not like me. That's like FaceApp. You know, like when you do a FaceApp version of yourself and it's like sick. This was like that. But like it was me. It was like so hot. I was like, bitch, you're hot as fuck.

Speaker 2:
[10:54] It's called retouching and airbrushing.

Speaker 1:
[10:57] Yeah, it's the original. It's the original, OK? Before there were apps, there were actually people who sat there and painted your face.

Speaker 2:
[11:05] The apps were based off of the process of doing your face for magazine covers. Like, oh my God. Like, oh, this is like amazing. Like my body looks so tea.

Speaker 1:
[11:17] OK, so there's like a couple more meetings I want to set up for you. We had one minor setback where one of the brands had to cancel because it's a popular dating app and they were ready to offer a deal, but it turned out you'd been banned from the platform. So what the hell did you do to do that? It's like, oh my God, I don't even remember why.

Speaker 2:
[11:40] Yeah, I like don't know. Like I actually don't remember what I did to get myself banned, but um, it's like where you posting is posting is he's like, oh, oh, oh my God. That's so tea right now.

Speaker 1:
[11:56] So, okay, well we're going to try and get you reinstated and try and get that deal. But um, you know, like you were so professional on set and you know, influence your managers heard about that at men's warehouse. Men's warehouse actually has a bulletin out where if anyone hears of well-behaved models, we ding men's warehouse and men's warehouse heard about it and they want you. They love well-behaved models. So you get to do a men's warehouse thing.

Speaker 2:
[12:23] We're in a little bit of a little bit of a pickle here though, because that's so gay magazine found out that you're doing a men's warehouse campaign and they would like to revoke your cover. So they said it.

Speaker 1:
[12:35] Send them my dick. Send them my dick though. Just send them my dick. Wait.

Speaker 3:
[12:41] Okay, we'll do that.

Speaker 2:
[12:43] It's like, no, this actually is like so good because like I actually like wear a suit for work and like the suit I wear is actually from men's warehouse. It's like so amazing.

Speaker 1:
[12:54] Of course, like, oh my God, there you go. Proud of you. Congratulations. By the way, that's gross. But you know what? You just got a national campaign. So let's go, baby. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappens commercial.

Speaker 2:
[13:09] So now we go to Joe's apartment and he's on the phone coordinating his, his Emo night party and he's like, all right, yeah, okay, I'm going to try to sell as many tickets as possible. And he's talking to a girl named Cameron, which makes me think there's only one girl named Cameron in Charleston. So clearly it's Cameron from original Southern Charm. And she's like, okay, you stupid face. So you really think you're going to throw a party with 300 people?

Speaker 3:
[13:34] Okay, we'll see about that. Bye now. Bye.

Speaker 1:
[13:39] Secure the best, Cammie. Do not call me Cammie. I'm not your mother or your sister. My name is Cameran. Do you understand, man child?

Speaker 2:
[13:48] Cameran, now, excuse me, I have Shepherd on the other line. So Maddie is like, Joe, I'm coming over, let's talk. I was like, okay, I haven't talked or I haven't talking to or slept in the same bed with Maddie in like a week. I just can't believe it's been so long since I've talked to her. So like, this has like never happened. Like it's been like a nightmare, like turning 30 alone is like making me freak the fuck out. Like on top of that, you know, like, what? Talking?

Speaker 1:
[14:22] Turning 30 alone, it's so hard. Turning 30 alone, shut up.

Speaker 2:
[14:26] I don't want to die alone.

Speaker 1:
[14:29] I could die, I'm 30 now. Yeah, you never know, old age could just put me under, you know? Like I spent so much money on this and I'm like, I'm putting so much like stuff into this party. Like I just want to, I don't want to have to be worried about our relationship. So then, Maddie is coming, so he hears her coming and he's like, like trying to cry and look really sad. He's like just shoveling himself, trying to look really sad. So come on, man.

Speaker 2:
[14:55] These two just like crack me up. So Maddie walks into this house that she presumably has been in many times. She walks in and doesn't see Joe anywhere in this lofted house. It's like a single story apartment with a loft. She's looking around, she's like, Joe, Joe, where's Joe? Did he fall down a well? He's like, I'm up here. Huh, where, huh? He's in the walls. It's Stranger Things. He's in the, guys, Joe's in the underneath. He's in the upside down. He's in the wherever the whatever. God, we got to save Joe. I'm like, just go up the staircase that the voice came from, Matty.

Speaker 1:
[15:24] He's right up the stairs. You'll be okay.

Speaker 2:
[15:26] It's right there. It's up there.

Speaker 1:
[15:30] Yeah, so she goes up and she goes, oh my God, Joe, I don't like your outfit. White on cream. What are you doing, Joe? How are you showing people that you're ready to run a bar when you're wearing white on cream?

Speaker 2:
[15:43] Well, my inspiration was that I got a latte and it was like a vanilla latte with foam, so my legs are like the body of the latte and the top. I get it, Joe. I understand. I'm just saying it's fine on a drink. It's not good for an outfit. God, you're out of control. You're spiraling white on cream.

Speaker 1:
[16:03] Well, I'm sorry that I'm about to turn 30 alone and I'm not really thinking about my outfit.

Speaker 2:
[16:08] Okay?

Speaker 1:
[16:09] I just need my best friend. My girlfriend. She's like, yeah. I just want you to be there for me this week because I'm not in a good place. She goes, you know what? Okay, I'm sorry for seeing red sometimes. I would appreciate seeing red right now because white on cream, serious. Look, I let that go. Yeah, but I'm just like, I had a conversation with Lava yesterday and I got a bunch of clarity.

Speaker 2:
[16:31] Yeah, clarity on the situation, specifically one situation. The situation of you leaving and saying you're gonna work and then like you're leaving and then like going out and like drinking. It's like it's not cute. Like you're turning 30 years old. I don't want to do it alone. Quiet, Joe. Like you need to reel it in. You have a hard time saying no and having boundaries. I'm not some crazy alcoholic. It's like I don't appreciate the way you phrase that, but go on. I'm just like very professional. I like I'm not one of these crazy cuckoo weirdo like strange people who's an alcoholic. You know what I'm saying, Matty? Please, Joe, stop trying to say it that way. Okay, I guess I go out, I have a better chance of meeting investors for future location elsewhere other than Republic. You're trying to find potential investors for something that doesn't exist. What are you talking about?

Speaker 1:
[17:19] Nobody, no potential investor is going to give money to some drunk guy in the club, who's pitching stupid things.

Speaker 2:
[17:25] Bring it, bump it.

Speaker 1:
[17:26] That's what stupid guys do at clubs. They're like, hey, I got an idea.

Speaker 2:
[17:30] I'm going to give you my idea.

Speaker 1:
[17:32] No, I'm not going to give you money for that. So, Matty's like, okay, so you go out and network and you meet these investors. Where are they? Where are they at, Joe? Where are they at? What is this room? Where are we? Who is this? Is this a loft?

Speaker 2:
[17:49] What do you want? Will you want to stay home? You want me to be a prisoner? You're such a idiot. First, when you said, I'm not some crazy alcoholic, I was like, why did you just say that to Matty? And then second of all, when he's like, you want me to be a prisoner? Like, are you just trying to get broken up with right now?

Speaker 1:
[18:06] Okay, how about this? I'll just not have a birthday. I'll just not have been born 30 years ago. And then we can just work the whole time. I can go to work instead, okay? Like, I won't have to drop a drink. It'll just like, I'll just have the best birthday doing nothing and being at work. It's just like not have work. She's like, Joe, I'm not telling you to skip your birthday, okay? Yeah, no, because like all these people are coming in town, so I'll just be at work. You can just go to my birthday party and be like, here's the day that Joe didn't turn 30. Why do you do that?

Speaker 2:
[18:32] Yeah, yeah. Maybe I'll own a bar by next week because this will fix everything. She's like, okay, you're being dramatic and the victim, okay? He's like, I'm being dramatic, me, I'm being dramatic. You just put on a cape and a mask. Oh, really? And he just knocked over a chandelier. What are you doing, Joe, stop being so dramatic. Oh, wow, wow.

Speaker 1:
[18:48] How is the cape even cream-colored? It doesn't match, Joe.

Speaker 2:
[18:52] Technically, it's beige. Well, even worse, even worse. Okay, Joe, no one is thinking about that. You're saying that you're working on your birthday. Like your reality is not reality, which is funny because he does say, fine, I'll take my birthday off and I'll go to work. Like, you don't take your birth. The birthday is not a job that you take off. I like that the party is the thing that he takes off and the work is the thing he goes to. No, you take off work to do your birthday, Joe.

Speaker 1:
[19:21] She's like, no, you need to take your reality and then you need to like throw it away, Joe. Like, for example, I'm going to pick up this like stupid little nothing off your desk and throw it off the loft. That's what you need to do to just throw it away. He's like, hey, I needed that.

Speaker 2:
[19:36] That was my favorite. She takes some little thing, it's like a pencil sharpener, like a little pencil sharpener. She like throws it off on an eraser. I needed that.

Speaker 1:
[19:46] I mean, that's not real life, Joe. You're having like a midlife fucking crisis, Joe. Like chill, Joe. Like, come on, man. And he's like, I'm turning 34 days. Like that's not a, it's not a midlife crisis. It's like, I'm a turning 30 crisis. It's like, oh my God, your dream is this fucking close, Joe. You need to prove yourself. I'm like, I don't know if you even have the capacity to be able to reel it in, Joe.

Speaker 2:
[20:08] I clearly do have that, or I did have that before you threw my reel downstairs. I just think that like right now in my life, I'm just like, oh, you clearly do, really? I don't think there's been a weekend where you haven't gone out and you want to move in with me and marry me and do all those things. And like, I don't really know, I don't really want a boyfriend who's like going out and getting drunk all the time. But it's like crazy to me that you're like attacking me on my birthday week when I'm supposed to be like celebrating. Well, can I tell you, it's my birthday week too.

Speaker 1:
[20:36] Well, that's next week. No, I'm like four days after you, Joe, it's in the same week. And you just, he just blinks and you watch him try to figure this out.

Speaker 2:
[20:45] It's like, I won't argue with this somehow. No, it's the same seven day span, Joe. But like, when does your week start? No, it's the same week, Joe. What are you trying? You can't use the birthday excuse. It's my birthday too, Joe.

Speaker 1:
[20:59] Okay, fine, fine. It's my birthday month. But it's my birthday month too. Wait a minute.

Speaker 2:
[21:04] That's even more well defined.

Speaker 1:
[21:07] So like, she's like, Joe, you know what? Like, I'm trying to hold you accountable because I love you, Joe. He's like, yeah, but like, okay, fine. Like, I cope with my like stress and anxiety by like drinking too much. Like, okay, I acknowledge it. But like, when I'm home with you, I don't crave alcohol. But I picked a career path where I just got to be, you know, around alcohol, you know? And then people are like, Joe, that's like the most confident guy in the world. I don't know what he's saying, but like he's really confident. And like it scares the shit out of me that I can't do without alcohol. So like, why are you trying to suggest that I'm an alcoholic?

Speaker 2:
[21:41] Yeah, it's really hard to feel like I'm at my best socially without alcohol. And I just think it's like because been like that since college, like it hasn't pissed anyone off until now. And now it's pissing off the person I love the most. Just like, look, I'm somebody that can help you maybe set boundaries or someone that you can talk to. Notice I'm saying boundaries all the time. Ever since Leva said I was really good with boundaries. Boundaries, Joe. Yeah, well, I need your support. And sometimes like yelling at me is just like, gonna make me feel even more defeated. So I would love for you to be like sweet to me this week and like not throw like really important erasers over the side of the balcony. Like I'm actually like, I don't know, like I'm having like real anxiety because like, I actually need to do a shit ton of things by the end of the day for like my event. Like I've got to like erase a whole bunch of pencil things. And like my eraser is missing now. Like what am I supposed to do?

Speaker 1:
[22:28] She's like, okay, Joe, how can I help you? Well, you can help by giving me a 20 second hug because a 20 second hug decreases stress by, no, it decreases anxiety by 20%. God, Joe.

Speaker 2:
[22:41] It's being by the waterfront reduces stress. Hugs are for anxiety, waterfront is for stress. Did you learn nothing, Joe?

Speaker 1:
[22:48] So she agrees she's going to help him and they're going to get along now, okay. So now on the screen, seven hours left of Joe Bradley's 20s. And Justin and TJ are walking and talking about New York and how fun it was. And now it's time for a day shift at Rapopark.

Speaker 3:
[23:05] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[23:06] So Michael's, it goes up to a table of ladies like, are we interested in getting a bottle with us tonight?

Speaker 3:
[23:13] Oh my God, sorry.

Speaker 2:
[23:15] I'm like living in like nightlife. It's like not even nighttime. I'm like, so sorry. Oh my God, am I gonna get banned from another platform?

Speaker 1:
[23:24] I think it's like that same table of older ladies. They just keep coming back. It is. You guys got the sparklers again? Give us some sparkler. We love that. That was so funny. We thought there was a fire first. You ever tried to blow one of those out? We actually hit the season in the eye with one of those things. That's why she's not here today.

Speaker 3:
[23:43] Hey, can you get one of us one of a picture of those cocktails?

Speaker 2:
[23:46] What was that cocktail that Lady Bird Johnson used to always love? One of those, one of those, you know, you know.

Speaker 1:
[23:54] OK, let's I mean, it's like, oh, my God, we have to we have to like clean and go walk off and then we're going to go to Joe's Emo party, everybody.

Speaker 2:
[24:04] And Bella's like, it's not a phase. Yeah, it's not a phase, mom. I mean, they're being like funny about like Emo. So she just like, is Jordan going to come tonight? And Justin's like, I fucking don't care. Like if she does, she does. Cause guess what? I'm already Emo. You know what? I'm actually really disappointed that I'm back in the friend zone with Mia. It would have been nice to see where things could have panned out. But you know what? Before the peanut gallery got it's nasty, nasty little hands over it, they ruined it all. Cough, cough, lake.

Speaker 1:
[24:38] Okay, you took five minutes to find another girl who's on TV. I mean, we see what you're doing, Justin. You're very transparent. He's like, well, I couldn't go with that lead of a TV show. So, you know, I went out on the strip on King Street and I found another lead of a TV show to be with within five minutes. So Lake is like, I'm so excited for tonight though. Oh my God. But like 30, like he's 30, 30 is not even old. And Lake's like, yeah, 30s are like sexy.

Speaker 2:
[25:10] And then we see TJ, he's like, I mean, obviously 30 is sexy and 34 is even sexier. And he like tries to wink at the camera. And they're like, you can't wink. He's like, no, I can, I can't, no, I can't wink. Like TJ, you're just scrunching up your entire face right now, that's not a wink.

Speaker 1:
[25:29] So the girls are like, oh my God, he's bringing a date. And like, you're gonna be my date, girls. It's gonna be so fun. And Lake actually has a girl coming. She's dating a girl. And TJ's like, yeah, I feel like that's very emo of you. And Emmy goes, yeah, it's not a phase, mom. Let's keep doing that.

Speaker 2:
[25:47] Lake goes, yeah, it was never a phase. Fish tacos for life. And then he goes, Mahi? Like, not literal fish tacos for life, Emmy. It's a girl, girl, fish. I was just like, I'm not following, I'm sorry. So do you not want the fish tacos? What are you gonna have for lunch? It's a metaphor.

Speaker 1:
[26:36] So apparently Emmy goes to the hair salon and is telling everybody that Bradley was stalking her outside of her hotel room in New York, drunk, banging on her hotel room door while she was naked in the bathroom and terrified. And she's like, What the fuck, Brad? You were not, Brad, you didn't even drink and you were not banging on her door and you were not a threat. And he's like, yeah, that didn't happen. So she's like, someone needs to fucking talk to her. Okay. And if your friends can't do it, I'm gonna do it. And he's like, he gets really upset and he's like, what the fuck? Oh my God. Like she's fine. And then she goes home and probably talks to Will or her mom and they destroy whatever piece we've come up with. And then she comes back with a totally different attitude.

Speaker 2:
[27:21] Yeah. Also like, I think we need TJ to step in as well because wasn't Brad with TJ when they came up out of the elevator and they heard Emmy, isn't that like part of the story here? Like, yeah, I think we need TJ to be like, Emmy, I was with Brad. None of this happened that you're saying and you're being really, really harmful right now with what you're talking about.

Speaker 1:
[27:45] Well, so was Julia, right? Because Julia says, Julia's talking like she was there too. So, yeah, I think they're all telling her, but Emmy, since this whole thing has been distilled down to Brad and Emmy, you know, stuff. Ugh, it's just so gross. Emmy, it's like, God, Emmy, just when you think Emmy can't be more fucking disgusting. Like, just, can we just mid-fire, mid-season fire Emmy? Like, get rid of her. What the hell? She's horrible. So, Emmy, then we cut to Emmy, and Emmy's like, I mean, why am I so dramatic? Because no one is listening to me, and I have to scream from the mountaintops because no one will listen. Like, nobody believes me, like, no matter how I put it. So like, I start losing my mind, and that's what's going on. Like, I'm alone, I'm made to be crazy, and like, no one's ever gonna believe me, and like, I'm back to my like, child again with like, raging ADD, and it's just like, point the finger at Emmy, point the finger at the Emmy, because like, the person who's hyperactive is like, the easiest one to blame. Oh, okay, so now you're gonna start using ADD as you're a victim, and people are just doing this because you're like, the poor ADD kid. No, Emmy, this is like, typical, typical victim cloaking, and ain't nobody gonna fall for it, man. This is crazy.

Speaker 2:
[28:59] Yeah, I think the one that's easiest to blame is the one who's going around saying, he was making me feel unsafe and was stalking me at my door while I was naked. Fabricating lies is probably the easiest one to blame, and that happens to be you as well. So Julia is like really mad. Brad's upset. Brad actually is like stepping away from the production because like, and I can only imagine how frustrating it is and disappointing and like, it's scary. It's scary to be have someone who's now going around town saying this stuff and painting you a certain way as he's trying to like launch his business and painting him as like scary black man. And that's what Emmy is doing and it's really fucked up. It's like, and it keeps on happening. It keeps on going after they've had multiple conversations. And it's just sad. I just feel like the fact that Emmy can't hear this or understand it is just so terrible. For some reason, I have this idea that younger people are more open to understanding these concepts than older people. Older people sort of get like locked in their ways and they're thinking, and they just sort of become brittle, and you can't get through to older people. But I always feel like if you're someone who's younger is around more thoughts and things, and I don't know, there's more of a discussion about different perspectives and world experiences. And so I just have this expectation that she would be able to understand this. And the fact that she doesn't is just so deeply disappointing. As someone who formerly really enjoyed Emmy on the show, I just think it's just like real crap. It's just shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty.

Speaker 1:
[30:35] Ignorance comes in every age. So now it's two hours left of Joe Bradley's 20s, everybody. So Maddie picks up Michael, he's like, oh my God. He's like, you look hot. Like, let's go, like get me out of here. So like you got balloons, like they're safe this time. It's like, oh my God, bitch, they are waited this time. And we see the clip of the balloons flying away when... She freaked out last time. And those were waited as well. So I think that these just are more properly waited. I don't know. This is probably a barbell on the bottom.

Speaker 2:
[31:07] Last time they were waited with Joe's, with Joe's skill set, which was not much. And so they flew off into the sky. Joe, the balloons. Oh my God, the balloons flew away. Which was a great moment. So Maddie is asking how she's doing. And she's like, I have been the best, I've been living the best life this weekend. So like, okay, when I was like, when I was ill, I had to cancel the show. And like my manager came to me and said, they want to give you an opportunity to make it up in Punta Cana.

Speaker 3:
[31:36] And they're like, oh my God, Punta Cana.

Speaker 2:
[31:38] By the way, did we ever find out what Maddie was ill with?

Speaker 3:
[31:42] Did that was ever a storyline?

Speaker 2:
[31:43] Or we just know that she was in the hospital and we don't know what it was, right?

Speaker 1:
[31:47] Yeah, I don't think we know what it was. So she's like, I played everywhere in the nation, but my dream is to play out of the country. And I like that it's so nonspecific. I believe that's how your dream should be. Just very nonspecific. Like, I don't want to play in Paris. Just stay out of the country. You can go to Mexico, do it there in a weekend, boom, a goal accomplished, something off the vision board.

Speaker 2:
[32:12] So James Kennedy, when he pressed play in a club in Mexico, he's like, I just played Tulum. You're like, you pressed, you do not have a DJ set in Tulum. You pressed play on a CD player.

Speaker 1:
[32:24] Yeah, exactly. So Michael's is like, oh my God, that's literally my homeland. Like I've been there since I was Southern, seven years old and I haven't been there since I was seven. And so that's where his parents are from. His dad is half Puerto Rican and Dominican and his mom is fully Dominican. So he talks about going there as a little kid and he knows everything about it. So he's going to help her figure out where to go and plan the trip and all that stuff. So then she asked about New York and he's like, oh my God, you named the bar? We were there. Like I fucked somebody named Men's Warehouse.

Speaker 2:
[33:02] It was amazing.

Speaker 1:
[33:03] And then we went to another gay bar and TJ, like I made out with like five people, but then we got in the taxi and then I made out with TJ. And she's like, so you got to make out with like half the city and TJ got to make out with you. Yeah, he's like 34. So.

Speaker 2:
[33:19] I just wanted to see what it would be like. I sort of have a kink for old men. So she's like, I am dead. She goes, you guys are crazy. So now we go to Brad's house and everyone's getting ready. And TJ is putting on a shirt that says, don't waste your toy money. You're all ready. It's like, it's so, our note taker says, it's sounding out the lyrics to Blink 182s, I miss you. Cause I was looking at that t-shirt and I did not get it whatsoever. And like, oh my God, that t-shirt, I used to have a t-shirt like that. Oh, you're, I'm not, no, I don't know. I still don't get it. I still don't get the t-shirt. This is a generation gap moment for me and this show.

Speaker 1:
[34:07] So everybody's coming in their Emo outfits and talking about like how crazy they were back then. And Julia tells Justin, yeah, you look more Emo like on a normal day than you do right now. Which is kind of true. So he, it's his turn to say, it's not a phase, mom. So then Mia comes and she's wearing like a wig, like a pink wig and stuff. And they're like, whoa. He says, you look like a weird anime hot chick with big boobs. It's like, yeah, okay. So they're all talking about their emo phases and stuff.

Speaker 2:
[34:42] Yeah, we see pictures of a lot of them from like when they were in high school, listening to this music in 2005 or six or something. And Mia's like, I didn't really have an emo phase. Maybe I listened to Paramore like once or twice, but like, that's it. She's like, I was a jock. And then Brad comes out in like a wig, which doesn't make any sense, but it's like a lady wig.

Speaker 1:
[35:02] Yeah, it comes out in kind of like a Mary Lou Retton wig, which is weird.

Speaker 2:
[35:05] Yeah, it was so weird.

Speaker 1:
[35:07] So TJ is asking Mia, so are the girls gonna be nice to you tonight? She's like, I don't even know what I did to those girls. And Molly's like, yeah, like it's a rude ass. And then we see a flashback of like being like, what I value in friendships and what I value in people are not characteristics that you guys have exhibited.

Speaker 2:
[35:28] So Molly says, the only reason Lake doesn't like me is, it's very clear, it's cause Emmy doesn't like me. Mind you, Emmy also has no reason to hate me either. They should just go for my club. I hate Molly for no reason club, just to hate Molly. Put it on a t-shirt or a mug and then actually you can have like a party and I can actually plan it. Like I actually would like not mind planning an I hate Molly party. I mean, a check is a check, am I right?

Speaker 1:
[35:50] Yeah, but Molly, also you told that girl to go date. You told me to go date Justin and then now you're acting like, oh my God, I can't believe she dated Justin. So whatever. So Brad's like, okay, I co-sign. Oh, they're saying she needs a stern talking to him. Brad's like, I co-sign. So now Julia comes in and she looks gorgeous. She's wearing this like collar thing. And Mia's like, oh my God, you look so sexy. And Titi goes, yeah, it's like all the girls that dress really hot for Halloween, but then you come and dress like a blueberry.

Speaker 2:
[36:26] And so yeah, Mia's like, that's not fair. Like I didn't know it was sexy goth. I thought it was funny goth. So Mia's like, I'm going to go pull Grace Lilly and be like, I'm going home. I didn't know the dress code. You didn't tell me. So now it's one hour left of Joe Bradley's 20s. And now we're with Joe at this, at this place. It's called the Music Farm. And Joe is with actually his brother, his hot brother. And Joe's like, hey, so like this is a music farm. And like that's Republic. Look, like Republic's there and music farm is there. And I come out of like the back alley of Republic there. The music farm is like there. Like have you ever seen like two buildings so close to before? Like it was like a building there and a building there. It's like crazy, right? God, the 20s are crazy. I'm going to miss them.

Speaker 1:
[37:07] His brother looks just like him and talks just like him too. He's like, yeah, like this is really cool. Like I'm putting on makeup on, like a girl. This is crazy, bro. He's like, yeah, my brother's got like a great corporate job. He's intelligent and successful. He's crushing it with work. And like, I just want to be him, you know? Like makes me feel like a piece of shit. His brother's like, you're not a piece of shit. Like you could do this too. You're doing so good, Joe. You're doing great. I wouldn't put on the eyeliner for anyone else, Joe.

Speaker 2:
[37:35] Joe's putting on his brother's eyeliner, which I would not trust Joe to do this. And his brother's like, are you sure you're doing it right? And we do a YouTube video, it's like, no, don't worry about it. It's not like not rocket science. Like I know how to do it. Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[37:49] I thought we should have watched a YouTube video.

Speaker 2:
[37:52] Joe, why is your brother in an eye patch? So Joe's like, yeah, my brother's inspiring, but he's also like, makes me feel like a piece of shit. Like in a good way though, like a good piece of shit, like a really like well-formed piece of shit. Like he makes me feel like, damn, like I could do this. Like, what's my excuse, you know? Yeah, okay, cool. Well, you look good. You look great. Michael's like, all right, great. Cheers to being 30. All right, thanks.

Speaker 1:
[38:15] Yeah, I was sort of talking about their love life and Michael doesn't have a girl and Joe's like, can't believe that we live in a world where like I have a girlfriend before you. That's crazy. He's like, yeah, if only girlfriends were jobs, right Joe? Like careers, it's like a damn owl. Okay, wow. So he's saying Maddie's it for him and he's going to propose to her sooner than you think. And it's probably going to be next year. And he's like, yeah, fighting with Maddie's been a wake up call. You know, like wake up calls go off and then you turn off the alarm, take a shot and go back to bed for a while. So it's time to make some changes. You know, maybe vodka instead of tequila, something like that. But one thing is for sure, I want to marry Maddie with.

Speaker 2:
[38:57] You know, my biggest dream besides like marrying Maddie is having kids beyond that. My biggest dream is like, I want our sons to be best friends. He's like, well, you know, we don't have any sons yet, right? Just saying no. He's like, yeah, well, we'll see if I can catch up to you and Maddie. I'm scared that you're going to be like popping out a baby in two years. Also again, neither of us have children. So, and they're not guaranteed to be sons. Just want to put that out there to the world. Dream there.

Speaker 1:
[39:25] So, on the screen, we see RIP Joe Bradley's 20s and everyone's on their emo looks. And so, a lot of people start coming and they're back in the backstage area right now. And he's like, oh my gosh, the Dream Country is amazing. Like the definition of punk rock is not giving a fuck what people think. Like seriously, you guys, even though I do care what people think, especially Lava.

Speaker 2:
[39:47] Yeah. So yeah, he's like, really, really excited to have Lava here. So we see a flashback and he's like, hey Lava, it's my birthday weekend. So I don't know if you can get like a babysitter or like, maybe you can hire someone or maybe like, can your baby like put on a wig? Can your baby, can your baby put on like eyeliner?

Speaker 1:
[40:05] I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[40:05] Like I just want like you and Lamar to like come see like my show. And like, I don't know.

Speaker 1:
[40:09] I'm coming Joe, okay? Like I'm coming. What? What do you want? Yeah, it's like, just be quiet enough. He's like, oh, okay, great. So he says, if this is a bust, he's like, I don't think Leva will ever take me seriously after this. Joe, there's so many people here. So Levin and Jordan arrive, not Lamar. Lamar is like, no, still no, like still no, not doing that.

Speaker 2:
[40:33] Yeah, Jordan. Jordan has a lot to say this episode.

Speaker 1:
[40:37] Like as usual, here comes Jordan with her ruse. Today she's wearing Emo ruse. So Leva's like, I'm happy to see Joe, like taking a risk on himself. But like, I mean, I'm proud of him in that sense. I just think if you're going to make all that effort, like just do it at Republic. Like he just essentially filled a competitor's space. Like it just circulates back to not thinking through and not communicating. And that's very on brand for, oh, Leva, fuck off. Give me a fucking break. Republic is the size of his shoe closet, first of all. This is like a venue that's holding 400 people for like dancing in a mosh pit in a concert. And second of all, who wants to have their party at work? And third of all, you've called this guy a loser all year. Why is he supposed to bring you work on his birthday? Love is a mess.

Speaker 2:
[41:24] Yeah, I do think that like the main, the strongest point is like this is a concert. Your Republic is not set up for that. But I do think like there is a point to be made about like, yeah, put this energy into your job too. I know you're trying to prove that you can do it, but you can also do it at your job.

Speaker 1:
[41:43] Well, yeah, she said that, I would agree, for sure.

Speaker 2:
[41:47] So Mia is like, okay, cool, this is fun. And they're all just like laughing and everything. And Maddie's like, besides my look, I think Mia killed it. She looks so emo, but unlike Emmy, who's giving like Britney Spears, hit me baby one more time. And we see that Emmy did dress like Britney Spears. Emmy is, she's just completely disconnected from any sort of reality, even costume reality. She just can't do it. I mean, also, like, I feel like we haven't even really dug in on her crazy interview look, where she's wearing this, like, white, lacy figure skating look. I mean, she just looks, she just absolutely bonkers this season. She totally deranged.

Speaker 1:
[42:25] Yeah, she really is. So Julia's pissed. She's like, oh, my God, I'm going to cry. I'm so angry. And he's like, yeah, I mean, she's mad. Personally, I'm exhausted, you know. And so everybody just arrives and says hi to each other. And we meet Lake's girlfriend or her date, at least. And she's really cute. And she's like, I'm the queen of situationships. Like something's always happening. Boy, girl, other. Like Nessa is so pretty. I saw her around Republic. And like, I get that tingly feeling.

Speaker 2:
[43:00] And you're like, wow, like, oh, my God, her girl's hot. And Michael's like, yeah, they look like cousins. DJ goes, yeah, they look related. I just said that, DJ, God, I'm not into it. And he says-

Speaker 1:
[43:12] Low key, I'm not even gonna cap. Like we'd look alike. Maybe I just love myself.

Speaker 2:
[43:19] So then Joe's like, hey, everyone. Welcome to Emo Night. It's Joe's birthday.

Speaker 1:
[43:24] Whoa.

Speaker 2:
[43:25] Okay. Hey, everyone. So, oh man, I feel like I'm on top of the world right now. Like all my anxiety, all the doubts out the window. Like this genre of music heals my soul. Like this is exactly how I was hoping tonight would go.

Speaker 1:
[43:40] Joe, your outfit doesn't match. God damn it, Maddie. Sorry, I love you. I love you too. So O'Sheen comes. He's like, hi, hello there. It's me, O'Sheen. No one's butt is safe. So O'Sheen is there and TJ is like, oh my God, it's the milkman. We're gonna have a mess.

Speaker 2:
[43:58] Whenever O'Sheen's in town, there's gonna be a mess. And we see last year that fight that I totally forgot about between Maddie and Grace Lilly. That's the prom party that they held.

Speaker 3:
[44:07] Where they're like, hey, ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba.

Speaker 1:
[44:12] He don't even like you, he likes me. What you think about that? You don't get no milk from the milkman. He don't even like you, he only likes me. Right milkman.

Speaker 2:
[44:22] So O'Sheen is like, hello there. Are you guys friends? Are you girlfriend or what? What's happening? And Janessa is like, ask Lake. She's like, I like her. It's like, oh, but I thought we had something like, DJ is like, this second worst secret, kept secret after Joe and Luan is O'Sheen and Lake. Like, I don't think any of us care if Lake had sex with O'Sheen. You care about the characters though.

Speaker 1:
[44:43] Yeah, they fucked after prom night last year. Oof. Yeah, but O'Sheen's like, he's too old and gross for little Lake. I mean, what was she, 20, 21 last year? Leave her alone. O'Sheen's so creepy.

Speaker 2:
[44:57] O'Sheen's been pretty grody these days too.

Speaker 1:
[45:01] So she laughs about it. She's like, oh, I'm not even gonna talk about it. That's all I have to say. So he's like, let's do a shot there, baby. Come on, do it for me, baby. And TJ's like, oh my God, is he trying to have a threesome?

Speaker 2:
[45:16] It's like wild. So Joe's like, yeah, like, huh, the three day love story was like Lake and O'Sheen. And Lake is like, oh my God, like I can't even talk about it.

Speaker 3:
[45:27] Oh, that's all I have to say.

Speaker 2:
[45:31] So then Sally shows up.

Speaker 3:
[45:32] She's like, any boys around this Emo night?

Speaker 1:
[45:39] It's not just her, it's also Charlie. And Charlie is there with Justin Yikes. And she's like, oh my God, I'm glad to be here. Like, do I look like I normally go to an Emo night?

Speaker 2:
[45:53] He's like, wait, are you saying you just came for me? She goes, yeah. Really? Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[46:00] Wow.

Speaker 2:
[46:00] And he tells us the Jordan situation, it's just been nothing short of abysmal. And at this point, me and Mia are just friends. So, the boy's a free agent now and I really like Charlie and she's on a TV show, so why not? Let's go for it.

Speaker 1:
[46:14] Yeah, so they have like small talk, like, it's so refreshing to be around you. Oh my God, you too. She goes, yeah, I've known you for two days. He goes, yeah, crazy. And he said, they found love in a hopeless place. Instagram DMs. And they grabbed drinks over the weekend. And they had a pretty fucking amazing date, you know. I lied to her about locking myself out of my apartment. So we had a cheeky little sleepover. And God, that's it. We've been with each other ever since.

Speaker 2:
[46:40] Great. Built on a lie. So Justin is like, by the way, I'm getting like the love bomber accusation. She goes, yes, yes, yes. Totally. Yeah, yeah. It's so funny because I'm being accused of being a love bomber to Craig. So I totally get you.

Speaker 1:
[46:55] Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2:
[46:57] Joe's happy because there's a mosh pit that's happening. He's like, this is what I've always wanted. A mosh pit of my birthday. Dare to dream, Joe. Dare to dream. And Janessa and like are just sort of talking about Mia and Janessa is like, tell me what's going on. And Leake's like, yeah, well, Mia was just like, she's just like a bitch. I'm sick of Mia. And then like Sally's like, hi Mia, you here?

Speaker 3:
[47:19] What's going on?

Speaker 2:
[47:21] Are you okay? And Mia's like, no, I'm sick of these girls over here.

Speaker 1:
[47:26] Yeah, and Leake is like blatantly talking about her, you know, like where you could see it. She's like, yeah, that one over there, that one. She's just a bitch. I hate her. Mia's like, oh my God, what is going on with these women? It's like fucking insane. Like I'm taking off my hat. Like it's too damn hot. I can't even deal with this. I mean, like I can't have this energy. Like I can't have like this little girl being mad at me and making snotty faces at me. Like what the hell? So she goes up and she's like, can I pull you outside? And like, it's like me, but it's Joe's birthday. Like I don't want to go out there. Like I just really want to get drunk enough from with my friends though. So like, I don't want to leave. It's like, come on, it'll be 10 minutes. She goes, no, yeah, no, I would rather not.

Speaker 2:
[48:10] Cause well, I would rather not have gotten yelled at you by on Friday, but it happened anyway, didn't it? So she's like, she has nothing to say to me unless her little minions are around where she can be like, yeah, I said it, I did a good job. I did a good job yelling at me. I did nine minions. So like I said, guys, I'm not going to do this right now. Okay. She's trying to have a conversation with me and like, I don't want to have a conversation right now. Like I don't want to have a conversation. It's Joe's birthday and we were having a very intimate, quiet birthday party for him and I don't want to ruin the vibe.

Speaker 1:
[48:41] So Mia walks away, but then like keeps going on to everybody else. Like whatever, like I don't want to talk to that bitch.

Speaker 2:
[48:48] I don't want to talk to her.

Speaker 1:
[48:49] Like okay, now I'm going to get pissed, okay? Because her fucking ugly ass could never be me and that's the whole thing. Well, she's not ugly, but Mia's getting pissed and like, stop pointing at me.

Speaker 2:
[49:02] Because I'm not pointing at you. You keep pointing at me, stop pointing at me. At which point now Lake is getting up in Mia's face, sort of pointing at Mia. Because you want to talk about me, don't put your hand in my face. Don't fucking touch me, don't touch me bitch. Because there's like a moment where there's like a hand on a hand, like pushing the hand away. You're pointing, you're pointing, the hands touch. And then it's like, oh my god, oh my god, touching.

Speaker 1:
[49:24] Yeah, so Mia's like, I don't know who she's friends with or who she hangs out with or where she's from, or why she can stick her hand in people's face. But I'm from Belize, bitch. And I went to school with barbed wire, okay? I will not be disrespected.

Speaker 2:
[49:41] Lake is like, fuck Mia, fuck that bitch. She's eye catching, she is. But she's also like a sociopath. It's kind of like Jennifer's body. You see in that movie where Megan Fox is beautiful, but she's like a crazy psycho. I'm gonna give the point to Mia. I think I'm from Belize and went to school with barbed wire is stronger than you're like Jennifer's body with Megan Fox. I'm gonna, Mia wins this round.

Speaker 1:
[50:05] But also Mia's, I mean, Mia's gotta be like, why do I have to fight with the 20 year olds? Like, what does this show come, why are you making me do this show? You know, like why? Because you're never gonna win. Because even if you go get into a SmackDown with a 22 year old, you're still fighting with a kid, you know?

Speaker 2:
[50:25] Yeah, because Mia's like, it's not that deep to me. Like I'm made out with Justin, like we're not even friends, so like I really don't care. And you're making it this whole big production and it's not that like, and now we have to have this feud. Can we just like squash this and be like, I don't, it's like, it's not that big of a deal. But you know, Lake is young, she's 22, and she is doing the 22 year old thing like, oh my God, like why would you do that? Like, I don't want, I'm like, okay, like I love Lake, but she really is showing her age right now.

Speaker 1:
[50:52] Yeah, I think me and just needs to back off this one and not get into like smacking fights with this girl. It's weird, it's like fighting with a baby. I got in a fight with my niece when she was a baby. She was like sitting in the back seat and she took something from me and I took it back and she cried and I was like, whatever. And then we started like fighting. And my sister was like, you're fighting with a two year old. I was like, but she started it and she's like, Ronnie, you're fighting with a two year old. Like at some point, you just have to be the one to walk away. Not that I did. I mean, I got that candy back.

Speaker 2:
[51:22] Good.

Speaker 1:
[51:23] But still.

Speaker 2:
[51:23] That's right.

Speaker 1:
[51:24] So now Julia pulls Emmy for a talk and Emmy's like, oh my God, do you want to have a talk with me? Okay. Yeah, sure. Like, oh my God. Okay. Why are you walking so fast? You're walking really fast. Okay. Hold on a second. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. I'm with you now.

Speaker 2:
[51:40] I've known Julia for years. I influenced her to move here and I encouraged her to date Brad. So I'm hoping Julia is an olive branch to help me mend my relationship with Brad. And I'm like, oh, finally, someone wants to talk. So Julia was like, okay. So over this last week, yeah. Okay. Just come down. I've heard that you were leading some sort of defaming of Bradley's name. What do you mean? Defaming of Bradley's name? She's like, I've heard that you're saying that he was drunkenly banging on your door in New York City and that you were naked and afraid in your bathroom that he was making you feel unsafe. You said he brought a chainsaw in and that he brought in 12 other people and that he aimed a gun at your face and that he was stalking you and that he's scary. And he said something about Clarice and eating fava beans. He wants to actually eat humans. Does any of that sound familiar?

Speaker 1:
[52:32] Oh, I mean, I never said he was banging on my door. So I swear to God, never said that. I mean, you know, chainsaw stalk, all that stuff.

Speaker 2:
[52:41] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[52:42] But like in that moment, like the only thing I thought was like, oh my God, Brad is stalking my hotel room. Like that's it. That was what I was thinking at the time.

Speaker 2:
[52:48] So she's like, I mean, we heard you screaming 12 doors down.

Speaker 1:
[52:53] I wasn't screaming. I wasn't screaming. I wasn't even screaming though. So.

Speaker 2:
[52:58] You know what? You've gotten away with this for way too fucking long. The words that you were using to describe Bradley are so, I'm not doing this.

Speaker 1:
[53:04] I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this.

Speaker 2:
[53:05] But you are.

Speaker 1:
[53:06] You are.

Speaker 2:
[53:07] You owe me a conversation. Okay. And Emmy like tries to go around the corner and then he's like, I'm not doing this as a woman. She's like, no. Okay. Then like, let's have a conversation around the other side of the corner. We're going back to the other side of the corner. Okay. Okay. We're going to have a talk. And Emmy of all people is like, calm down, Jules.

Speaker 3:
[53:21] Emmy is going to tell someone to calm down.

Speaker 1:
[53:23] And you're the one hyperventilating and running away. And she's like, listen, what did he do to make you feel unsafe? Tell me. And she's like, Julia, I'm a fucking woman. So, first of all, so like he stalked my hotel room.

Speaker 2:
[53:41] She's like, he did not stalk you.

Speaker 1:
[53:43] Yeah. Well, what I knew in the moment was that's what he had done. So that's like what I had with like the information I was given, which is like he was stalking me.

Speaker 2:
[53:50] So I was going to Molly's room to apologize.

Speaker 1:
[53:53] Well, I didn't know that. I don't know that. I don't know that. Like how do I know that? I don't know that.

Speaker 2:
[53:57] We told you a million times. So why the fuck are you not listening? Why do you use those words to describe it again?

Speaker 1:
[54:03] Like I didn't ever talk about it, Julia. Like what are you talking about? Like I'm being like, so like I'm a woman. Like I'm a woman. What are you talking about? Like I'm so confused. I don't even know where she's getting this. Like what's your point? Like are you trying to make me look crazy? Like is that what you're trying to do? Like are you trying to make me look crazy? And the producer says, well, do you have any idea why? Like why do you think she's lying? Do you think someone else lied? And she goes, oh my God, like, well, okay. Well, like who have I even talked to? And then we see flashbacks of Emmy talking to literally everybody in town. So it's like the postman comes by. She's like, oh my God, I was stalked and harassed and terrified making a shower. And like this guy was like trying to murder me. So his name is Brad, okay? Buddy by Brad. Terrifying.

Speaker 2:
[54:46] I'm a 115 pound woman. Like when a man threatens you, you are scared. By the way, the assumption is that you were threatened. There was no threat.

Speaker 3:
[54:54] There was nothing that was a threat.

Speaker 2:
[54:56] He said, you're dead to me too. That's it. That was not a threat. He was echoing what you said. Yes.

Speaker 1:
[55:02] She took the bitch and the dead to me. Like you're threatening to murder me and you're calling me a bitch. So.

Speaker 2:
[55:08] Then we see her talking to Lucia. So like flashback Lucia in season one. And she's like, Brad, obviously, like you were intoxicated and you were angry. And then you tried to scare me and be like, sleep with one eye open. And you made me feel like unsafe because like you intimidated me, you threatened me, you stalked me. And Lucia is like, what is wrong with you? You crazy white woman.

Speaker 1:
[55:28] And then we see her sitting with a yoga teacher. It's like, yeah, this guy was like stalking me. He was like stalking me. And the yoga teacher is like, that's Lucia. That was Lucia. Oh, that was Lucia.

Speaker 2:
[55:38] Oh my God.

Speaker 1:
[55:38] I didn't even recognize her.

Speaker 2:
[55:40] Yes. She's like now all earth mother, but Lucia is the yoga teacher.

Speaker 1:
[55:44] Oh, I didn't even recognize her. That's hilarious.

Speaker 2:
[55:46] What the is wrong with you?

Speaker 1:
[55:47] I thought it was so funny. We just see her in yoga. She's like, this is the yama stay portion or the namaste portion of this evening, ma'am.

Speaker 2:
[55:57] She's like, okay, now we're going to do some downward dog. Oh, now you're calling me a dog. Fine, fine. So, so Emmy is like.

Speaker 1:
[56:03] I'm in my hotel room. I'm having a private conversation with my fiance and my mother and he's eavesdropping and his feelings got hurt because I have to abolish that.

Speaker 3:
[56:11] Like, what? What?

Speaker 2:
[56:16] You were screaming.

Speaker 1:
[56:18] I was not screaming. I'm screaming right now. That was screaming. This is not screaming.

Speaker 2:
[56:23] You got caught.

Speaker 1:
[56:24] For what? For talking shit in the privacy of my own hotel room. Like, I'm not allowed to talk in the privacy of my hotel room.

Speaker 2:
[56:31] You were talking loud enough for us to hear you all the way in Charleston.

Speaker 1:
[56:35] It's how it made me feel. Okay, he's not an safe man. He's not like a scary man. It's just in that moment, he made me feel that way.

Speaker 2:
[56:43] So, okay, so why are you using those words?

Speaker 1:
[56:47] Well, because he called me a fucking dumb bitch.

Speaker 2:
[56:49] He did not call you a dumb bitch.

Speaker 1:
[56:51] Like I'm saying in the context of the sentences that he used, like, I, I, I, I, I, I, Julia, Julia, like, don't you, don't you know, like that morning, like with me and Will, like, I don't, I don't even think you know, like how bad I was.

Speaker 3:
[57:03] You don't even know.

Speaker 2:
[57:05] She's like, I could sit here in tears, just like you are, to say exactly how Brad was feeling this morning.

Speaker 1:
[57:11] Yeah, but like, like I didn't even work last week. Like I couldn't even sleep or I couldn't even eat. I mean, I normally don't do either of those things anyway, but like I couldn't, even if I wanted to.

Speaker 3:
[57:21] She's like, I couldn't even put together a really nice charcot replatter last week.

Speaker 2:
[57:24] She's like, why? Because you knew you fucked up.

Speaker 1:
[57:27] No, like no, Jules, cause I'm like not allowed to feel the way he made me feel, Jules.

Speaker 2:
[57:32] And you're making him feel the way, like just as you are.

Speaker 1:
[57:35] No, like who gives a fuck? His actions are the one, I guess it's actions, it is.

Speaker 2:
[57:40] Julia's like, me, I give a fuck. I give a fuck and you will never fucking understand because you are a white privileged ass bitch.

Speaker 1:
[57:49] Julia like, what does that even like, what does the enemy have to do with the way that, what are you talking about?

Speaker 2:
[57:54] Because you don't understand.

Speaker 1:
[57:56] Don't even get any closer to me. Do not even get closer to me.

Speaker 2:
[58:01] I just want to let you know we're done. The tears and the I'm sorry's don't mean a goddamn thing. And Julia just walks off.

Speaker 1:
[58:08] Yeah, she just completely drops the tears and the whole act. And she's like, okay, whatever then. Because she's so psycho.

Speaker 2:
[58:15] You send your girlfriend to fight your battles. You do realize that that's what you did all of last season for Will, just so you know.

Speaker 1:
[58:23] Yeah, this is literally you fighting your boyfriend's battles because the whole battle was that Will was cheating on you.

Speaker 2:
[58:30] Yes, that was great. Julia was, what a great display of solidarity with your boyfriend. I mean, she really just spelled it all out for Emmy. And I love when she was, she also was like very reasonable too. She's like, yeah, what you're saying right now, Emmy, how you feel, that's how Brad feels. She's sort of saying like, you're okay to like, like what you're feeling, I'm not saying that you're, it's invalid, but you have to consider what Brad is feeling. And the difference is that what you're saying about Brad could mess up everything in his life in a way that it won't mess up anything in your life. And I thought Julia was just great. It was actually, it was inspiring to me.

Speaker 1:
[59:10] You know, I think it's like, because Julia was like wallpaper when you're tripping. And you don't know that you're tripping out, like you've just taken whatever, like mushrooms or whatever, and you're like, let's just wallpaper. And then like a long time goes by, and you're like, there's wallpaper. And then all of a sudden the wallpaper starts moving. And you're like, oh my God, that wallpaper is fascinating. Cause Julia, this whole time, I'm like, Julia, is Julia even, take her pulse. Take her pulse. Is there anybody in there? And Julia came to life tonight. I was like, yes, Julia!

Speaker 2:
[59:39] She was great. I thought when you said, she's like wallpaper when you're tripping up, I thought you're going to be like, you know when you fall over and you reach for something and you just try to, the only you can get is the wallpaper and you tear off a piece of it by accident. And you look at it and you say, that was really pretty. I was like, where's Ronnie going with this?

Speaker 1:
[59:55] Tripping bowls. So yeah, good for her. So she goes over to Brad and she's like, yeah. She's fucking crazy. She was saying like, he was talking to me and I was like, no, he's not. And so he's like, yeah, I knew that wouldn't go anywhere, but you know, at least you tried.

Speaker 2:
[60:14] Yeah. She's a bit, she's like, yeah, she just doesn't take accountability for anything. And she's like, no, you, you're saying he drunkenly banged on your fucking door and you felt unsafe and he's talked to you. Are you fucking kidding me? Like that didn't happen. And she's like, yeah, she's a liar. But she's like, yeah, they both have given up. And Brad feels great though, cause he's like, wow, I have a girlfriend who's gonna ride for me. And that's like really important. And so they hug and it's a really nice moment. But meanwhile, Emmy is still spiraling. And so she gets Bella and she's like, oh my God, oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. I need a cigarette. I need a cigarette right now. Oh my God.

Speaker 1:
[60:46] Oh my God. Dumb fucking bitch. Like have I not gone like through fucking and I'm like, I can't even have a minute to just enjoy fucking just party. Like, I just like, I get like a what the fuck? And Bella was like, okay, whoa, whoa, calm down. And inside they're watching and like, what's up? Brad's catching them up on what an idiot she is. So Bella's like, so did you take ownership for what you said and any of that? It's like, oh my God, I couldn't even get there because like she'd like, she's like, I mean, I tried. Like I would try. Like I like it would be nice if I could like express that, you know, like if I wasn't being stalked and harassed, like, you know, someone's threatening to murder me while I'm helpless and naked in the shower. Like I'm a girl. I'm a woman.

Speaker 2:
[61:27] And she keeps on saying that she tried to express things. You had plenty of chances in the conversation. So, Bell is like, okay, I'm telling you for the time being, drop it.

Speaker 1:
[61:42] Fuck no.

Speaker 2:
[61:43] I am not dropping this. I'm not dropping this. No, I am not dropping this. Would you drop this?

Speaker 1:
[61:48] No.

Speaker 2:
[61:48] Like, yeah, I would drop it. I would drop it. How many more times do you need people on TV to tell you what you're doing is a microaggression? Okay. It's kind of racist. You're on TV. Stop it.

Speaker 1:
[62:01] God, to take that and not only not take the advice of the people who are on the show, you go and you start telling the entire town worse stuff, like you start making up crazy, like adding on to it. What the fuck is wrong with this lady? She's just crazy.

Speaker 2:
[62:18] She's like lost her marbles. She's like, I need to have a conversation with Brad. Point blank. Not fucking Julia. Bradley Carter. Brad. Brad. Brad.

Speaker 1:
[62:28] You've made it so bad, no one owes you a conversation. You're lucky if you're not iced out of this entire season. So Julia's like, yeah, I'll never be putting Bradley's shoes and she'll never be putting Bradley's shoes. And Michael's is like, yeah, cause you're black, duh. She goes, yeah. And that's that. So he's, he's, Michael's is like, yeah, Emmy's just trying to prove that Brad's wrong and she's right. It's not about her feeling unsafe. Like she's going to talk to anybody and then only tell her side of the story. Like why is she still talking about it? Oh my God.

Speaker 2:
[62:58] Yeah, so then they get like Emo-ish and they're like, let's get back to partying and Maddie's like, this is for my boyfriend, Joe Bradley. I want to see you all rock out for him. And then she throws an eraser into the audience. He's like, but wait, I was about to use that. I needed that.

Speaker 1:
[63:14] I needed that. It's like, this is the best light of not only my life, but Joe's life too, probably. Like this is epic. I'm like, I'm so proud of him after a hell of a week we just had, like he's so great. It's amazing. So everyone's like, oh my God, this was great. And Joe thanks Leva for coming. He's like, you made my entire birthday. Like, thank you so much.

Speaker 2:
[63:34] Leva's like, you know what? The room is full. The vibe is high. I'm wearing a stupid hat. I think Joe is smart to partner with somebody who was established, the Emo Night guys. From my perspective, it looks like Joe, it's like a very successful event. He's like, yeah, move the bus. She's like, no, I'm happy for you. That's just all I want is for you to be happy. I just want you to be happy. She basically says, I've always seen Joe's Joey bottles and it's always been Floor and VIP. I never knew about concert Joe. So if it's what makes you happy, do it.

Speaker 1:
[64:03] Yeah, so he's like, oh my God, like I'm gonna do this forever. And so he goes and gives her a birthday speech and he's like, yeah, I fucking did it. I pulled this off my fucking 20s. Fuck all the haters. I can make money while crowdsurfing. Like I never have to grow up now. Are you proud of me, dad?

Speaker 2:
[64:24] That was the end of a very Emo episode.
