RHOA -Reset the Trip, Not the Drama

Wendy (00:00.942)
Hi, welcome to We Wine Whenever. I'm Wendy. We are talking about Real Housewives of Atlanta, Season 16, Episode Number 13. This one is called Chapter 1 Reset. I didn't like the name at first, but then when we get into the episode, I know why it was Chapter 1 Reset.

Kelli (00:03.878)
Kelly.

Kelli (00:15.078)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (00:25.133)
Right. They kind of explain it, yeah.

Wendy (00:27.402)
Yeah, so we start out with Shemeah and her daughter. They're getting stuff together for their trip to Grenada because they're going to be donating because of the hurricane. And then Kelly shows up with an SUV full of water. Cynthia sent her donations. She went and picked out her donations at Target. They look like Target bags. And she picked out exactly what she wanted to get. Drew sent her donations with a, I guess, assistant.

Kelli (00:35.535)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (00:48.645)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (00:56.945)
Mm-hmm.

Wendy (00:57.55)
And then Britt shows up with a small box and Sheme like, well, where's the rest of your stuff? She's like, oh, it was going to be coming later. I just couldn't get it out. I couldn't get it the car. She's like, are you going bring your car up here? She's like, no, no, someone's going to bring it later. She's like, they're picking it up in an hour.

Kelli (01:14.853)
Yeah, Brit's lying.

Wendy (01:17.017)
Yep, yep, yep.

Kelli (01:18.417)
Listen, not everybody can do what everybody else can do, but just, just own up to it. You know, like this is what I got.

Wendy (01:25.004)
I mean, not for nothing, but let's be real. An SUV full of water doesn't cost that much money.

Kelli (01:34.093)
No, you're absolutely right.

Wendy (01:35.766)
An SUV full of water does not cost that much money. And I think it's going to come out. Does she drive a Rolls Royce?

Kelli (01:45.888)
I think that whole scene was a bunch of bullshit. When she was looking at that car.

Wendy (01:51.008)
Yeah, but anyway, we're talking about not a lot of money, right? She shows up with...

Kelli (01:56.081)
Yeah, I mean, if you spent $100, you could get how many, you could get 70 cases of, no, no, no, Kelly.

Wendy (02:06.094)
I mean, it's $4 a case of Costco. It's not even $4. Right. So.

Kelli (02:08.973)
Right, that's what I'm saying. Right. You could get 25 cases of water. That'd be huge to send.

Wendy (02:13.71)
Right. Right. Yes. Right. Or spend $200. I mean, you know what saying? looks 50 cases of water. I mean, looks like a lot. You know I'm saying? Instead of what did she have in her, I mean, two things of toilet paper. I just have to say.

Kelli (02:22.063)
Yeah, but... Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, exactly.

Kelli (02:38.341)
Yeah, I know. Brit, come on, man. You have to, you have to like show, you got on the show, somehow. Somehow you got on this show. We don't know how. But you're here, man. You gotta fake it till you make it.

Wendy (02:46.517)
Right, right.

Right.

Yeah, you gotta show up. That's it. That's it. So then she's talking about the bare and naked party and how she wasn't happy with the party planner, but you said she was not a party planner. She was a decorator.

Kelli (03:06.961)
but now there is a party planner that came out and said she owes her money.

Wendy (03:10.542)
was it for that event? there's a lot.

Kelli (03:13.359)
I think so.

There's a lot going on here, a lot to unpack. I think she had a party planner and a party decorator, but that kind of doesn't make sense because if you hire a party planner, isn't she gonna do the decorating? I don't know. I'm seeing mixed things on social media. So if somebody wants to correct me, feel free.

Wendy (03:32.576)
Yeah, let us know what's going on there. And then she's talking about to Shemeah, like how are things between her and Drew? And Shemeah said that, you know, she really didn't address the Drew thing, but she did say that her and Portia talked and everything between them is fine, which, you know, we're good. I'm glad to hear that, right? Then we see Portia and Drew are at the restaurant together. And the first thing...

Kelli (03:34.224)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (03:50.063)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Kelli (04:00.881)
I loved how Drew's like, oh, I'm easy about the tea. But every time they tried to bring her a cup, she was like, oh no, no, no, no. It's just tea.

Wendy (04:07.296)
I know.

No. No. It's just, but she needs it for her voice. She needs it for her voice. It's for her voice. I like how, uh, Portia is like throwing shade at her hair as soon as she walks up. That's not go naked hair. And they're like, yeah, it is. The reviews are like, yeah, it is. She's like, well, she had to mix it with something then. Cause that's not my hair. I'm just like, it's just always something. It's always something.

Kelli (04:17.819)
You know that's right, yeah, for her, yeah.

Kelli (04:36.401)
Yeah

Yeah.

Wendy (04:40.022)
So they're trying to have the conversation about Dennis and, you know, she's now signed the deal and he's going to be working on her record. you know, Porsche is saying, like, if I knew you were dating Black, I guess that's guy's name is Black or that's his code name. That's his code name. All right. So she said, you mean my friend? Drew said, you mean my friend? And she's like, well,

Kelli (05:00.023)
I guess that's what he goes by. Yeah, that's what he goes by.

Wendy (05:08.546)
She's not dating him. She doesn't have a boyfriend. She's not doing that yet. Her divorce is not over. She's trying to make this crystal clear. And we've heard this a couple of times in this episode.

Kelli (05:16.347)
Yep.

Clearly she doesn't want to talk about it.

Wendy (05:21.454)
Black is not someone she's dating. There's nothing romantic. There's no friends with benefits. There's nothing going on with Black but friends. That's it. um, Porsche is, you know, trying to get that in there, but she was like, but wait, you're complaining about me, but then you go out to dinner with Ralph and you know that we are not getting along and this divorce is not over and

Kelli (05:29.275)
Right, right.

Wendy (05:51.36)
It is messy. And Portia's like, well, I didn't know he was gonna be there. She invited me and he was there.

Kelli (05:58.256)
I really think that's a load of bullshit.

Wendy (06:00.404)
We all know that's a load of bullshit. I mean, that's the story they gave us to begin with. We knew that that was bullshit the first time they told us. And the second time we still know it's bullshit. You can't trick us. Sorry. We've been here before. Right?

Kelli (06:02.043)
Yeah.

Kelli (06:09.273)
Right. That's right. Yeah. But Drew said, they, they, like blanked out his name. Drew said something about Portia dating somebody, right? Did you hear that?

Wendy (06:22.958)
you know what? It's weird because when I was watching this episode, I kept hearing like blanked out stuff and I didn't know if it was just my episode was glitchy.

Kelli (06:30.33)
Yeah.

Kelli (06:34.327)
No, in that particular scene, I think Drew went back at her and was like, well, you've been out to dinner with so and so, like, then he blanked it out.

Wendy (06:43.072)
Okay, maybe. Yeah, I missed that.

Kelli (06:44.389)
And Portia was like, I don't even know so-and-so and they blanked it out again. So, you know, I don't know why these women move this way. if you're dating, I mean, I understand. Well, you know what, Portia too, they're both going through divorces so they can't, I get it. Okay, I get it.

Wendy (06:49.026)
Okay.

Wendy (07:00.142)
Porsche's going through, right, right. Yeah, and Porsche, the whole point is Porsche knows, so why is she doing that to Drew?

Kelli (07:08.717)
Exactly, if you're doing the same thing, like why, don't be stupid. You know she's gonna bring it up.

Wendy (07:12.854)
Right. Right. So that, you know, they really don't come to a place of peace and Portia just gets up and walks out and she says she's going to drink her tea at home.

Kelli (07:24.067)
I do feel like Drew does not let Portia talk. I think Portia talks a lot, but in this lunch and even at the end at that table in Grenada, she wouldn't let her talk. It's like, shut up for a minute.

Wendy (07:39.49)
You know what I do respect about Drew is that every time she's having these conversations, she is very calm and very composed. Like I don't really see her pop off. Like I don't.

Kelli (07:47.793)
I'd give her that.

Yes.

Kelli (07:56.529)
She doesn't get overly emotional. Yeah, you're absolutely right. Like she keeps it together.

Wendy (07:58.893)
Right.

I mean, it may be the actress in her. I mean, she is an actress. Although what Phaedra said, what did she say? Like she was shading her acting career later on in the episode.

Kelli (08:06.927)
Yeah.

Kelli (08:14.575)
Yeah, what was the movie they said she was in?

Wendy (08:19.116)
I don't remember.

Kelli (08:19.183)
I it was the dance movie with Channing Tatum. I thought I could be wrong though. Like when he was young.

Wendy (08:25.343)
I don't know, whatever it was, Phaedra was shading it.

Kelli (08:29.54)
So funny.

I don't... yeah.

Wendy (08:34.05)
Then we see Kelly's talking to her daughters and she's telling them, you know, she's getting ready and she's packing for Grenada and she's going to miss their first day of school. she says, her friend and we find out it's also her publicist, Uncle Lamont is going to be able to take them to school. And then she breaks it to him. Then he's going to be taking them. And he's like, all right, yeah, no problem. I'll get it done. And she's like, okay, but.

Kelli (08:43.003)
Yeah.

Kelli (08:58.257)
Mm.

Wendy (09:00.59)
You have to drop off at three different schools and he's like, and what time do we start? And she's like, 7 a.m. and he's like, all right, when you getting back? That's a lot. That's a lot.

Kelli (09:07.441)
Yeah.

You know what I thought was interesting though? The youngest go the earliest and the oldest goes the latest. Did you catch that?

Wendy (09:18.631)
I did not. That is interesting.

Kelli (09:20.451)
Is her oldest chance or is the middle one chance? All I know is the twins were first. Okay, so the youngest go first, then the oldest goes in the middle and then the middle child goes last. But here it's so annoying because the little ones go later and the older ones who want to sleep have to be out the door at 6.15.

Wendy (09:25.12)
Her oldest is, Chloe is the oldest.

Wendy (09:34.679)
Last.

Wendy (09:44.906)
Yeah. Yes, this is very true. We are living it. Yes, that's it. Not for much longer. It's almost over. It's almost over. Yes. I did think it was very interesting Lamont tells Kelly that he called Mark. I don't even know that we knew his name prior to that, to be quite honest with you.

Kelli (09:47.801)
Yeah, we're living it people, we're living it. Two more weeks, baby.

Two more weeks, thank you, Jesus. Yeah. Yeah.

Kelli (10:03.364)
Yeah.

Kelli (10:07.375)
I think we did because remember she said to Kenya, I have a mark too.

Wendy (10:12.078)
yes, yes, that's right.

Kelli (10:14.127)
Yeah, but so Lamont must have had some kind of friendship with this guy as well.

Wendy (10:18.616)
Well, that's what he said. mean, yeah. To see where he was at with the kids. And know, Kelly wasn't upset about it. She wasn't. I didn't think she was, did you?

Kelli (10:20.657)
Yeah. Yeah.

Kelli (10:29.839)
I think she was upset with the fact that he doesn't want to be a father right now. She wasn't upset with Lamont for talking to him. No.

Wendy (10:33.844)
Right, but I'm saying she wasn't upset with Lamont. Right, she wasn't upset with Lamont for talking to him. Yeah, absolutely she's upset that he is not doing his part and not upset for herself, but upset for her girls.

Kelli (10:39.299)
Right.

Kelli (10:46.115)
Right, yeah, mean, how do you just, I'll never understand that, how somebody just walks away from their kid. I can't wrap my head around that. If you don't get along with, you know, your ex, that's one thing, but these kids are innocent victims in all this.

Wendy (10:53.578)
No, I can either.

Wendy (11:03.596)
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

Kelli (11:05.445)
Like how do you not see your kid? I would die.

Wendy (11:09.41)
Yeah, I agree. I Kelly starts crying when she's talking about it. And I don't blame her because it's very emotional for the girls. Next, we see all the ladies are at the airport and Angela is meeting Phaedra for the first time.

Kelli (11:14.438)
No.

Kelli (11:18.373)
Yeah.

Wendy (11:27.746)
you know what Angela said or Phaedra.

Kelli (11:28.889)
I don't like what she said.

What Phaedra said? She's the oldest looking young person? She's an asshole.

Wendy (11:35.276)
That's what she said. That's just, that's just Phaedra throwing her shade. I mean, she was throwing shade about Charles too.

Kelli (11:43.973)
Yeah.

Wendy (11:44.106)
That's what Phaedra does. Then we see they land in Grenada and Shemeah's bag did not make it. my gosh, I would have been so pissed.

Kelli (11:56.143)
She's like, I'm gonna dance on that in here, but not too much. I only got one pair of underwear.

Wendy (11:58.574)
Cause I don't got no panties.

Kelli (12:06.433)
so funny did you notice drew was the last one to the airport drew was late to the airport

Wendy (12:06.67)
So then we see on the

Wendy (12:13.176)
I did not, but she's always late. She's always the last one there. She's on her own time.

Kelli (12:17.487)
I did not. She's definitely on her own time. I think everybody was appropriately dressed to fly. I think they were all in comfy clothes from what I remember. You know, I always have to pay attention to that.

Wendy (12:26.274)
Yes, I don't remember anything. I don't remember anything out of, yeah, out of sync with that.

Kelli (12:30.799)
Yeah, I don't understand those Beverly Hills girls. Half the time they're dressed like, you know, they're going to a gala to go on a plane.

Wendy (12:36.438)
Yeah. Yeah, no, that doesn't make any sense. Then on the ride to hotel, Phaedra is in the car with Drew, Angela, and Cynthia, and she asks who's beefing. So she wants to know what's going on. Drew starts to talk about it, but she doesn't really get into it. And then in the other car, it's Kelly, Portia, Britt, and Shemeah. And they're not really getting into it yet.

Kelli (12:39.991)
Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

Wendy (13:06.41)
either at this point. Then they get to the hotel and that's when we find out that this whole trip is reset, renew, and rebirth. So what I'm thinking is that this episode is chapter one reset, the next episode will be chapter two renew, and then the third one of the trip will be chapter three rebirth.

Kelli (13:07.205)
No.

Kelli (13:19.281)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (13:28.209)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (13:33.061)
Right, and we only have like five more episodes and then there'll be two after that or something maybe. Yeah. Did you see them having the man on the stilts, they had him doing the running man? Really nice greeting.

Wendy (13:38.06)
Yeah.

Wendy (13:45.6)
Yes. They had a nice greeting at that hotel. mean, jeez, there was like, it was like a three ring circus. I was like, yes, there was a lot going on there. And then they're going to play a game to find out, I thought they were finding out who's rooming with who, but they were finding out what room you were getting. They already predetermined who was rooming with who.

Kelli (13:52.641)
Exactly. It was like a festival.

Yeah, nice.

Wendy (14:12.44)
So obviously Kelly and Shemeah are rooming together because they are co-hosting this trip. And then they announced Britt and Phaedra are rooming together. Angela and Portia are rooming together. And Cynthia and Drew. I actually thought the roommate situation were good pairs. What were your thoughts?

Kelli (14:22.833)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (14:35.257)
Me too, because I think Angela and Portia, like, they're gonna be fine, you know? And I think putting Portia with Drew would have been horrendous, obviously. So, and putting Portia with Phaedra would have been, you they did it the right way. yeah, for sure.

Wendy (14:44.865)
Right.

Wendy (14:49.391)
Right.

I thought so too. I thought so too. And then they're all doing shots and their shots I guess had numbers on them to determine what room they were getting. So we find out that Britt and Phaedra are getting the scenic suite with a king and a queen.

Kelli (15:12.089)
That was a nice room.

Kelli (15:17.339)
They each have their own bathrooms, right? That's what I was wondering.

Wendy (15:19.566)
No, not in that one. Angela and Portia get the premium two bedroom, two bathroom suite. So they have two bathrooms. Then Cynthia and Drew get the premium with the king and two twin beds.

Kelli (15:28.74)
Okay.

Okay.

Kelli (15:40.209)
can't believe Drew B earned that arm wrestle.

Wendy (15:43.564)
Yeah

Kelli (15:44.817)
I mean, Cynthia, strength training. I thought she was on this journey, this fitness journey. All right, I mean, not that I think I could beat anybody in an arm wrestle, but yeah. that's true, that's true. It was, it was. Yes, she is. Drew does have youth on her side.

Wendy (15:48.113)
Yeah.

Well, I think she just started it. This was filmed last summer. Yeah, this was last summer. Like give her a break. And Cynthia's older than Drew. And I will tell you this, the more I read about this, as you hit menopause, you lose muscle mass. And that does not happen to men and that does not happen to younger women. So I'm giving Cynthia some brace.

Kelli (16:18.351)
Right. Yeah, let's give her some grace. I'm sorry. I apologize, Cynthia. I just felt bad. But thank God Drew gave up that king-sized bed because Cynthia is a tall drink of water. She would have been way too long for that. I mean, it's like Joe sleeping in his bed.

Wendy (16:21.386)
Okay. Okay.

Wendy (16:32.437)
She is.

Wendy (16:39.156)
I thought that was so classy of Drew to do that. I really did. I did. They announced that they have 30 minutes to get ready. And that's not a lot of time for these ladies.

Kelli (16:43.267)
I agree. I agree.

Kelli (16:53.785)
not to eat and get ready. Did you see Portia when she grabbed the food from the chef and she's like, I'll do crazy things for some chicken wings.

Wendy (16:55.671)
Right.

Yep.

Portia always gets the food she wants. She is all about her food, right?

Kelli (17:05.366)
She likes her food. I wonder where she would fall with the ranking the sleep sex food. I think food would be first.

Wendy (17:15.342)
Probably. I think you're probably right. I think you're probably right. And Sheme is talking to Kelly about the Instagram post that Drew tagged her in, in a post that said, be careful about people who create imaginary beef. I don't know why Drew would have done that. I really don't.

Kelli (17:16.228)
Yeah. Yeah.

Kelli (17:31.153)
Mm-hmm.

I don't either. guess because of what Shemeah said on that radio station, but you're working with this woman. Like she's your coworker. Don't do that.

Wendy (17:42.35)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah. And then Drew and Cynthia, they get to their room and she, you know, she gives it up. Cynthia is talking to her about Amsterdam, her boyfriend. Then, you know, Cynthia says, you're dating and she's like, no, Drew's making it very clear that she's not dating anybody. She's not involved with anybody. There's no benefits because it's not finalized her divorce with Ralph.

Kelli (17:56.369)
Mm-hmm.

Wendy (18:14.04)
Then she tells Cynthia about what happened between her and Portia and that Ralph and Portia did film together. And you could see Cynthia's like, boy.

Mmm.

Then what happens? I guess all the ladies get ready and then they get in the cars to go to dinner.

Phaedra on the way is talking about how well the funeral business is doing. I didn't forget she did that, but I honestly, really, since it hasn't, she hasn't been on for so long. I, cause she's also an entertainment lawyer. So I really wasn't sure how involved in the, like, I know she owns a funeral home, but I wasn't, I still am not really sure how involved in it she is. Right.

Kelli (18:39.643)
Scotchy did that.

Kelli (18:48.794)
Yeah.

Kelli (18:57.861)
Yeah, I mean, who knows? I mean, if she owns it, she's reaping the benefits, but who knows if it's her day to day? Or if she's practicing law more?

Wendy (19:03.914)
Right, and is she still doing the entertainment law? I mean, I don't know. I really don't know. This is what I want to know about Phaedra. I want to know what's going on. I want know what's going on with Phaedra. I want to know what's going on with her two boys, Prince and what were they, King?

Kelli (19:09.457)
Who knows?

Kelli (19:14.319)
Yeah. Tell us where you're at.

Kelli (19:21.113)
Yeah.

Kelli (19:25.969)
Yeah, I think so.

Wendy (19:27.614)
Aiden and I don't remember their names. But anyway, I wanna know what's going on with them. That's what I wanna know. And I would like to know if she is dating anybody who she's dating because she's not married so she can date whoever the heck she wants. right, let's know what's going on with them. So they get at the restaurant and it's, that was a beautiful restaurant.

Kelli (19:39.033)
Right, right, she's not going through a divorce. Yeah.

Kelli (19:48.027)
Sure was. And Shemeah did have a different outfit on, so she said she packed something in her carry-on, so at least she had that.

Wendy (19:52.786)
Yes. I was happy that she had that. thought maybe she could have borrowed something too from Kelly because they're both tiny. Angela announced when she gets there that it's her eighth wedding anniversary. Wait, why would you announce that?

Kelli (19:57.721)
yeah, yeah, yeah, I was thinking that too.

Kelli (20:11.697)
I mean, I guess maybe just to make conversation, like, you know, or to see what they had to say if they were going to say anything shady about Charles. Yeah.

Wendy (20:16.225)
Yeah, yeah.

Wendy (20:21.538)
Well, they did cheers to it. mean, they did, did cheers to it. Britt announced about the guy that was across from them hanging out, I guess, naked about her room and Phaedra's room. Yeah. And that maybe he was a masseuse and they were talking about maybe there was some happy endings involved. And then Kelly chimes in that she's had a happy ending.

Kelli (20:31.301)
yeah. Yeah, Phaedra wanted to see him.

Kelli (20:46.385)
She didn't admit to it. She insinuated. She asked, have you ever had a happy ending? But she'd never admit to having one.

Wendy (20:54.444)
On the after show, she admits to it. You gotta watch the after show. You have to watch the after show.

Kelli (20:56.305)
I have to watch the after show.

Kelli (21:02.67)
I mean, listen, Phaedra, with all due respect, she's like, that happened in some back alley corner. That's not giving four seasons. You don't know that. You don't know that.

Wendy (21:13.25)
You don't, and she doesn't really give up the location, but she does give up a little more in the after show, so you're have to watch the after show.

Kelli (21:21.613)
Yeah, mean, Denise Richards admitted getting one. I'm sure she's not going in some back alley and getting it. I'm sure this is happening at some highfalutin places.

Wendy (21:27.062)
No.

Wendy (21:31.148)
I'm sure it is too, but I can tell you, I mean, not that you're asking me, but I do get massages regularly. I've never had a happy ending and I would not want a happy ending. saying that. That is not, no, that is not what I'm going there for. Because listen, I am happily married.

Kelli (21:37.201)
Mm-hmm. No.

Kelli (21:46.063)
Not from that person.

Kelli (21:50.171)
Right.

Good to know.

Wendy (21:57.422)
As Shemeah pointed out, she's also happily married. she's not going to be getting exactly. That's where those happy endings happen. Kelly says that she wants to reset the energy between Shemeah and Drew. Drew says she wants to clear the air.

Kelli (22:01.263)
Right, so the happy endings happen at home.

Wendy (22:20.878)
And I guess it's Portia that starts with, you called her a lap dog and she's like, well, you brought back information that wasn't correct. And they bring up once again, the PJ's college being paid for comment. How many times are we gonna talk about this? This is another thing that we've discussed. this is episode 13, we've probably discussed it, six episodes we've talked about this.

Kelli (22:43.217)
too much.

Kelli (22:47.569)
Yeah, like you did say it though, Drew. You did say it. And Shamiah put a stop to it and was like, well, her college has already paid for it. know, like we got it. We get it. We get it.

Wendy (22:51.488)
Right. So.

Wendy (23:01.646)
Right, right, right. So, and then Drew's like, well, she said, hit dog gonna holler. And I actually had a replay. Yes. And then that's when Portia said, did you mean to call her a dog? And she said, well, she was barking at the table. Portia's like, Shemeah, she's crazy. She was barking at the table.

Kelli (23:11.055)
Mm-hmm. So she called her a dog again.

Kelli (23:20.625)
to us.

Wendy (23:30.83)
Uh, and then Shmi's, uh, said, but can you be honest about some stuff? It's called accountability. And Kelly said, you can't say nothing when that bitch bites you to, to, Drew. So now she's also saying, Shmi's a dog, right? So then Drew said, I was saying the music is a blessing. I can pray. It can pay for the college. I'm saying that the music's a blessing. It can pay for the college.

Kelli (23:44.485)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (23:48.271)
Right. Right.

Wendy (24:00.27)
Portia said, yeah, but she wants you to apologize for calling her a lapdog. And then Angela jumps in and says, you know, we do take offense. And she wasn't a part of this conversation. So I was like, all right, Angela, we do take offense when we have an intimate conversation that you run back to Portia. And then all of a sudden, Phaedra jumps in as she should have. Like when she jumped in right there, I was like, okay, lawyer Phaedra.

Kelli (24:15.599)
Yeah, where you going?

Kelli (24:27.686)
Yeah.

Wendy (24:28.034)
But she said, let's be clear, did you really think that you were gonna say something like negative about her best friend and she wasn't going to tell her? And Portia's like, yeah, that's what I'm trying to get at. Like what was going on? And like, who's bringing out the problems in our friendship? That's what Portia's saying. And then Angela says,

Shemeah brought up her grievances to us about you, to Portia. And Kelly said, do you feel like you've been a good friend to Shemeah? And Portia's like, no, no, we've already squashed this. We had this conversation. We're not talking about this. And then Kelly's like, what you said, if we have a question to come to you. And Portia's like, no, no, that was before we had our conversation. We had our conversation, we're done.

Kelli (25:09.841)
We're not doing this. Yep.

Kelli (25:22.565)
Right. Right. And I'm so glad she did that because you can't say you want to reset and then go backwards. Like they're cool now. So let it lie.

Wendy (25:25.686)
So, I am too.

Wendy (25:33.826)
Yeah. Right. Right. Right. Just let this go. Right. And Shemeah says she's good. So they're like, OK, so if Shemeah is good and Portia is good, we're going to let that go.

Kelli (25:48.685)
Mm-hmm. I didn't understand why they were like, okay, so Drew, we're gonna let this go. Like, as if Drew was bringing up Portia and Shemeah, like, not being good. Did you notice that?

Wendy (26:01.694)
No, didn't know that they said to Drew, we're gonna let this go. I just thought they said, we're gonna let this go, because they're good. Well, no, because then, no, because then Kelly said, okay, you're all good, we can be too. Kelly said, Drew, I feel like you have an issue with everyone at the table except Cynthia. So that's how Drew got brought back into it again.

Kelli (26:07.902)
Somebody addressed Drew about it though. And I was like, that's

Kelli (26:23.441)
That's not even true. She doesn't have a problem with Britt. She doesn't have a problem with Phaedra. She doesn't have a problem with Angela. That was not true. She really doesn't have a problem with Ellie either.

Wendy (26:24.95)
It's not true. It's not true.

Wendy (26:31.68)
No, it's not true. No, that's just Kelly. Well, maybe she does because Kelly's the one, right, because Kelly's the one who's bringing this up.

Kelli (26:38.853)
Well now she does.

Right.

Wendy (26:43.95)
And then Drew said, I don't have an issue with Portia. She has an issue with me. And Portia says, I don't have an issue with you. That takes energy. I thought it kind of shade. It's good. Portia's good with that shade. She comes out with it quick. I know. She does. She does. And then she says, Portia says, listen, I could have handled it better when it was brought up with Shemeahs. I could have handled it better. said some horrible things. And they flash back to what she said. She did say some horrible things. And Drew said, listen,

Kelli (26:54.287)
Yeah, but she does, but it's not even true. She does have a problem with her. you know.

Kelli (27:09.925)
Yeah. Yeah.

Wendy (27:13.204)
I appreciate you saying that because you never said that before. I appreciate that. Thank you. And I love that that happened. And on the after show, like that was talked about too. And Portia's like, listen, I was giving too much energy to Drew. It was really Dennis, right? And she's like, at this, right. The more I thought about this, she said, you know, I'm giving all this

Kelli (27:33.367)
and Dennis, quite honestly. And the more you...

Wendy (27:43.148)
bad energy to Drew. And at this point, I'm just like, I'm done with this. I really need to fix this with Dennis because he's the one who's doing this.

Kelli (27:51.247)
And the more you're calling Drew out on it, the more you're bringing attention to it, something that you didn't want to happen, so stop bringing attention to it. He's the one that looks like a fucking loser. So let him.

Wendy (28:04.844)
Yes, yes, yes, yes. And like I said, on the after show, she acknowledged that. She didn't exactly acknowledge it there. She once again says, know, she brings up that Drew was dating Black and that she should have just said that to shut it down. And Drew said, don't repeat what the streets are saying. And then a producer asked Portia, like,

Kelli (28:15.121)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (28:26.458)
Yeah.

Right.

Wendy (28:32.396)
Where did you hear this? She's like, I didn't say it. was Dennis.

Kelli (28:35.953)
Which, you, honestly, I'm starting to think that Porsche is just lying about stuff.

Wendy (28:42.54)
No, I think it's Dennis that's lying. And now, like, because even when Drew said, should have called you and not sent you the text because Dennis said you were good with it, Portia said, he'd be lying, right? So she knows he's lying. She knows he's lying. Everyone knows that Dennis is the one that's lying. And these two women are fighting over it, which is ridiculous.

Kelli (28:44.421)
Yeah.

Kelli (29:00.486)
Yeah.

Right.

Kelli (29:10.767)
Right, it's like the summer house thing, like, yeah.

Wendy (29:12.822)
Yes, yes.

Kelli (29:17.317)
I don't know where Kelly got that crystal from, she whipped out. I'm like, what is she holding? It looked like a piece of chalk.

Wendy (29:22.35)
I know her rose. Thank gosh she had the crystal, because then we could control the conversation, right? She announces, unless you have the crystal, you cannot talk. So she hands the crystal to Drew. And that's when Drew says there was nothing inappropriate between her and Dennis. I could have handled it better. And of course, she's like, OK, good. We're good. Let's squash it.

Kelli (29:24.887)
yeah. Right. Yeah.

Kelli (29:45.743)
Yeah. Do you think they're going to be good?

Wendy (29:48.962)
They better freaking be good. If I hear about this one more time, I'm going to lose it. That and the damn lapdog. I'm over that and the lapdog. I'm done with it. Like enough. Enough.

Kelli (29:56.483)
I'm over it.

Kelli (30:00.465)
No, I know. Yeah, like the fights that are lingering in the Bravo verse right now, I'm not into it. Yeah. Yeah.

Wendy (30:08.27)
This stupid shit, it's just so stupid.

And then Britt asks for the crystal.

Kelli (30:15.889)
This is so stupid.

Wendy (30:17.91)
And she says to Phaedra that, you know, at her event, she just wants to put everything out there. Apollo and his wife were there because they were invited, but she didn't invite them. And she just wants Phaedra to know. And Phaedra's like, yeah, it's not my problem. He's not my husband. What?

Kelli (30:30.725)
Yeah, who gives a shit? And by the way, he wasn't even at a table where they were served food. So really who cares? He didn't have a chair or an appetizer.

Wendy (30:38.07)
No, was not. Exactly.

No, and Phaedra wasn't there either, so like-

Kelli (30:46.809)
Right, so what does she care? She wasn't even there.

Wendy (30:49.646)
I mean, we didn't even see him. Did we even see him? We didn't see him, right? We did not even see him. But Brit felt the need to tell us he was there.

Kelli (30:51.843)
Not even a second. We did not see him.

Kelli (31:00.015)
Yeah, that was, that was so stupid.

Wendy (31:02.976)
Yeah. So she, you know, they all agree that they're leaving everything at the table and that's my last note. And I really hope that that is the case because if we hear about the lap dog or Dennis, like enough.

Kelli (31:21.425)
How have these women, how have Drew and Portia not figured it out yet? You're giving him exactly what he wants. He's got two women basically fighting over him. I mean, come on, look at him. And you're talking about him constantly. His name is probably, I mean, if we were playing a drinking game to drink every time you hear the name Dennis, we'd be wasted by the end of the episode. They're giving him exactly what he wants. It's infuriating.

Wendy (31:31.66)
Yes. Yep.

Wendy (31:45.347)
we would be

Wendy (31:49.258)
It really is. It really is. So we'll have to wait and see what happens on chapter two of the Grenada trip and see if they really are able to, you know, renew because supposedly they reset. So next they're going to be renewing. We'll have to wait and see if that happens. Right.

Kelli (31:51.685)
Yeah.

Kelli (31:58.768)
Mmm.

Kelli (32:12.739)
Yeah, real quick, are you gonna watch the season of Below Deck? I think it's starting tonight.

Wendy (32:23.88)
I'm definitely going to watch it. Although I'll be honest with you, I didn't finish the last season. I still didn't watch it. I know that something big happens. Yeah, yeah, I didn't finish it yet.

Kelli (32:32.133)
Down Under, right? It was good. I mean, I love Captain Jason, so I'll watch that. I missed Aisha that season though, but I know she got married, so maybe she's just taking a break. But I liked all the people on it. I don't think I'm gonna watch this season of Below Deck. I haven't quite decided yet. I don't, yes, I don't like him. I don't like him at all, and they're trying to make him into like some James Bond, like stop it right now. And there was that guy,

Wendy (32:37.379)
Yeah.

Wendy (32:48.928)
Is it Captain Carrie? You don't, huh?

Wendy (32:58.35)
Hmm.

Kelli (33:01.147)
Ben Willoughby on the last season. And I remember after the season ended, he came out and said like, Captain Carey was like a dick. Like they didn't get along and it was like, yeah, like he didn't have like this thing charged that Captain Carey like to ride on and yeah. I'm not a big fan of Carey. I don't think he was a good replacement for Captain Lee.

Wendy (33:12.45)
Really?

Wendy (33:25.826)
Hmm, all right, I'll have to let you know. don't dislike Captain Carrie. I mean, he's not my favorite of the captains. Ben was not, I like Frasier. I don't think Ben was such a great guy, to be quite honest with you.

Kelli (33:32.707)
Right. I do love Frasier though and Frasier's on it. I do too.

Kelli (33:41.604)
he was a big giant player, but...

Wendy (33:43.872)
Yeah. And I don't think he was a good, what decade? Was he a decant or a bossin? Yeah. Yeah. don't listen. I don't, I don't take his words for what they are. mean, your captain's your captain. You know, Eddie's got his own boat now. He's his captain of his own boat.

Kelli (33:47.333)
Well, he became Bozen at the end of the last season because they got rid of that other guy.

Kelli (33:55.077)
I miss Eddie. Yeah. I liked Eddie as Boson.

Kelli (34:03.971)
Yeah, he is. Yeah, we'll see. I'll probably wind up watching it.

Wendy (34:06.318)
You know what, I did watch Jersey Shore Family Vacation. I agree with that, Angela, 100%. I mean, we really, she hasn't been with them yet. So, no, we really don't.

Kelli (34:22.085)
We don't need her. I just feel like that show, you know, I personally don't watch that show for drama. I legitimately watch that show to watch where they are and watch them with their families and watch them go on these funny vacations together and watch Dina boss everybody around and make them wear these silly t-shirts.

Wendy (34:39.528)
I loved, yes, yes, I loved seeing Ronnie and his daughter. Love that. I love the fact that Dina is now a class mom and she joined the PTA.

Kelli (34:46.668)
Absolutely.

Kelli (34:56.559)
This is what I need. I need to see her living this out. Like I wanna be an outsider looking in now because that's what we did.

Wendy (34:58.23)
Right? Exactly. Exactly.

Wendy (35:07.618)
Yeah, well, no, that's what you did. And I'd say to you all the time, stop saying yes, just say no, you can do it, you can say no. I know you can.

Kelli (35:09.585)
I did, I did.

Kelli (35:14.234)
I know.

I can't, I physically can't.

Unbelievable. Yeah, I'm so excited though. And Sammy, well, we don't know. She hasn't announced that she's pregnant. Well, she's not pregnant yet, right? While they're filming.

Wendy (35:29.396)
not on the show, but we know that she is and that's exciting. we also get to see Snooki gets to find out who her birth mom is. And I'm excited for her for that. am.

Kelli (35:32.592)
Yeah.

Kelli (35:41.392)
Yes.

Kelli (35:45.551)
Yeah, me too. I'm into it. that's how, listen, I've never been to the San Gennaro festival.

Wendy (35:53.134)
We have to go this year. I have been, but I haven't been in a while. And every year I'm like, we're going to go again. It's so much fun. We have to go. The problem is when it is. It's like the first week of school or like the second week of school. But we don't have that problem next year. So we're definitely going. We are going. We're going. Yeah.

Kelli (35:54.661)
That's what I told Tess, we have to go.

Kelli (36:02.418)
It looks so much fun, but how funny was that then?

Kelli (36:12.875)
I know. We're free. Yeah. Yeah, we're going. For sure. Yeah, and I thought that that was so funny when they were doing this speed dating with Vinny and then at the end it's Pauly sitting there.

Wendy (36:26.56)
So funny. like he said, like he liked like the quick questions and listen, I think that might be a formula for him.

Kelli (36:34.767)
Yeah, you know what I was thinking? I wonder if he ever met Lexi Wood from Summer House. I feel like, although he does like the ethnic girls, Vinny.

Wendy (36:36.663)
What?

Wendy (36:44.654)
Yeah, no, I don't think Lexi's the right fit for him. she's no because he's a mama's boy. He's a mama's boy. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Kelli (36:47.543)
No, I thought that they would be cute.

Kelli (36:52.758)
I mean, she gets along with her mom very well.

Kelli (37:00.035)
No, I might have to root for this. I might have to slide into Vinny's DMs again.

Wendy (37:01.24)
Nope.

No, and I think she's too young. She's too, she's too young. She's too young.

Kelli (37:10.745)
You think she is? I think he likes, yeah, but he likes him young, doesn't he?

Wendy (37:12.514)
What is she 26? He's like four. He's like. No.

Kelli (37:17.509)
He's definitely 40. He's damn near close. Paulie's 40, right? Wally Dee's 40.

Wendy (37:21.482)
No. Yes. Yes. No. I don't think she's a good fit because she's too close with her mother and her sister and he is a mama's boy and his mama, no, no. It's not gonna work. He's only.

Kelli (37:28.017)
this age.

Kelli (37:39.749)
He's 37. He's only 11 years older than her. I'm rooting for this.

Wendy (37:45.698)
No.

Wendy (37:50.542)
I'm rooting for the girl. No, no, no, Okay, I'm rooting for the girl that does the marathons and is doing the New York marathon.

Kelli (37:50.693)
I'm gonna, I'm gonna inbox him on, Instagram again. I've inboxed Vinny a couple of times.

Kelli (37:59.239)
none of those girls from that festival are going to be in there. Because he needs somebody. Well, I don't know. Maybe he'd wind up with somebody not famous. Maybe.

Wendy (38:01.794)
Why not?

Wendy (38:06.222)
don't think he does. I think he needs an ordinary girl. I think he needs an ordinary girl. Someone who's gonna take over the role of his mom when she's no longer there.

Kelli (38:16.747)
god forbid, don't even say it.

Wendy (38:18.294)
I know, you know, like he needs someone who's gonna be there.

Kelli (38:22.181)
Yeah.

Amazing he never talks about his dad.

Wendy (38:25.335)
I don't think

Yeah, it is amazing, right?

Kelli (38:29.521)
I'm gonna have to a little research on that.

Wendy (38:33.878)
I did it one time, but you know what? I don't freaking remember what I found out. I did look it up.

Kelli (38:39.249)
Vinny, could you write a book, please? Because I would read it. Did he write a book?

Wendy (38:45.976)
I don't know.

Kelli (38:47.057)
This conversation's really getting away from us. But the bottom line, people, is that we don't need Angelina on this show. I can't stand her. I really can't stand her.

Wendy (38:48.558)
There.

Wendy (38:53.334)
Yeah, let's get back to that. Okay.

Kelli (38:57.105)
It's just too much. She does too much.

Wendy (39:01.07)
I'll just say that she doesn't bring a lot to the table. That's all I'll say. I don't like to say like I don't like people, but I don't really care for her. I don't think she brings much to the table for this television show. I love seeing...

Kelli (39:11.951)
Right. She should go on like House of Villains or something like that.

Wendy (39:17.388)
I, yes, that would be good for her. I did like seeing the kids go off to school and I liked watching J Wows daughter get ready. And I liked, what was Vinny's mom doing for him? All the kids were going to school. That was so.

Kelli (39:19.471)
That would be good for her.

Kelli (39:34.609)
When she went and picked out his outfit for him to do his stand-up show and she was like, but you want to make a good impression

Wendy (39:42.1)
I know. I love his relationship with his mom. I love that. I do. Like, I love that. He's got to find someone that's, like, on board with that.

Kelli (39:46.193)
It's amazing.

Kelli (39:51.321)
Yeah, well yeah, I mean famous, not famous, ordinary, extraordinary, whoever it is has to be okay with his relationship with his mother and who wouldn't quite honestly because it's adorable. And if you have a son, you strive for it.

Wendy (39:56.568)
Yeah.

Wendy (40:03.35)
It really is.

Yes, absolutely. Especially if you're Italian. My son says to me all the time, why don't you make me chicken cutlets? I'm like, yeah, that's right, because I don't cook. Just remember that.

Kelli (40:11.469)
Absolutely. I'll make chicken cutlets at 2 a.m. if you ask me to.

Kelli (40:21.809)
Because your father does, that's why.

Right. Hop on board, hop off. I don't care.

Wendy (40:30.976)
I do have to say this since, William's working full time now that he's done, he's got like a full time internship, like Monday through Friday. And he recently found out that Bill's mom used to make Bill lunch for work every day. So Bill makes William lunch every single day for work every day. Every day Bill makes William lunch. was like.

Kelli (40:51.675)
Don't let Tess hear that. She's gonna be like, what the hell?

Wendy (40:57.036)
You make him lunch every day? And William's like, yeah, as soon as I heard Nanny made him lunch, I was like, you're making me lunch. I was like, But he loves to feed people. Like this is right up his alley. Just when the kids need lunch.

Kelli (41:02.221)
my God, that's so funny. Listen, Bill retired at the right time. This is definitely right up his alley. This is what he wants to do. He wouldn't do it if he didn't want to.

Wendy (41:16.349)
100%. I mean, he'll say to me, do you want me to make you lunch? I'm like, no, I don't want you to make me lunch. I got my own crustable. I'm good. All right. Until next time, thank you for watching and listening. Please subscribe and give us five star reviews. Bye.

Kelli (41:20.827)
That's right, have my own crustable, I'm all set.

Kelli (41:26.405)
That's great.

Kelli (41:33.445)
Bye.
