00:00In Rhode Island, everyone knows everyone.
00:03People here, they don't look down on other states,
00:06but they are weirded out that other states exist.
00:13Virtual reality.
00:15Hi, I'm Denny Murphy.
00:17I'm Evan Real.
00:18And wow, the clamshell is open.
00:20It really is.
00:21The Real Housewives of Rhode Island has premiered.
00:24It's out in the universe, and boy, is it good.
00:26I'm a...
00:27It's so good.
00:28I don't want to speak too soon,
00:30but I think I'm obsessed with every single woman on the show.
00:32There's no one that I dislike yet.
00:35Yet.
00:36The night is still young.
00:37The night is still young.
00:38But I remember when we were talking,
00:39we were like, who's the standout?
00:41And I think they're all standing out.
00:42Yeah, they really, really are.
00:44I will say on the premiere episode,
00:45we didn't get too much of Rula yet.
00:47So we have yet to learn more about Miss Rula.
00:51But everyone else, for the most part, rules.
00:53I really do like everyone.
00:54If I were to pick an early favorite,
00:59I got to say I love my girl Rosie.
01:01I was a TV reporter and anchor on the number one station here in Rhode Island.
01:04I don't think it's any shock to anyone
01:05that the only people watching the news the last 10 years were 50 plus.
01:08If I don't go somewhere and somebody says my grandfather loves you,
01:11then I've had a bad day.
01:13I think she is.
01:14Okay, we think Rosie is so fun.
01:15She's so fun.
01:16And she's young.
01:17I think we're like kind of maybe the same age.
01:19I might actually be older than Rosie.
01:22I think she's 34.
01:23So yeah, I got a year.
01:25I got a year on Rosie.
01:26That's the thing that is like tripping me out so badly now
01:28is that where we are in the history of Housewives,
01:31I am now the same age or older than some of the Housewives
01:35because I think that another youngin is Kelsey.
01:37Kelsey's very young.
01:38And Kelsey, we got to shout her out.
01:40She is making herself so vulnerable,
01:44so open and honest about everything going on in her life.
01:47She is a self-professed sugar baby.
01:50A woman of leisure.
01:51A woman of leisure.
01:52And boy, is she a woman of leisure.
01:53That house is crazy.
01:55That pool is amazing.
01:56And she's dating this man who she's been dating for,
01:58I think, 10 plus years.
02:00And he really supports her woman of leisure lifestyle.
02:04They won't get married and he gets to date other people
02:06when he's away from Rhode Island for six months of the year.
02:09And then she also has another boyfriend.
02:11Where he allegedly...
02:13I'm a little confused.
02:14For the first half of the year,
02:16my boyfriend is in Miami.
02:19And when he's in Miami, he's with somebody else.
02:22But it is funny when we chatted to her
02:24because we had the premiere party for this earlier in the week.
02:28And we were like,
02:29okay, so your man doesn't want to be even a photo of him on this show.
02:33Was he against you doing Housewives?
02:35And she was like,
02:36oh my God, no, he's the biggest Housewives fan.
02:38He was encouraging me to do it.
02:40I was so...
02:41I'm obsessed that he's this rich man
02:44who's watching Peacock.
02:45I need to hang with him.
02:47No, I know.
02:47He seems like a really fun time.
02:49I love that he was encouraging of her doing Housewives
02:52because I do feel like oftentimes
02:53the husbands are very hesitant about the Housewives experience.
02:58I mean, it's kind of a win-win situation for him
03:00because he's a fan of Housewives.
03:02He gets to watch his woman,
03:03well, his part-time woman,
03:05be on Housewives and do her thing.
03:07And then he gets to watch those episodes eventually.
03:10But he doesn't have to appear on them.
03:12Yes, it's a win all around.
03:14And you know what?
03:14I will say too,
03:15and not to be shady,
03:17but I did just the thought came in my head.
03:18Kelsey gets to be called a wife.
03:20There you go.
03:21Look at that.
03:21There you go.
03:22But I do what I...
03:23I think she's content.
03:25I think...
03:25Well, I know she's...
03:26Well, Joellen is kind of saying
03:28that she isn't a...
03:29She's feeling like what's next.
03:31Well, and I think that even Kelsey
03:33kind of says that herself.
03:35I think we see her become emotional
03:37and vulnerable in regards to her future
03:41because I don't think she wants to be
03:42in this situation forever.
03:44I think she does want commitment.
03:47But if the relationship has been operating
03:50like this for so long,
03:51I don't know that it's ever going to evolve
03:53into a place where she would feel satisfied.
03:57Well, because it seems like I...
04:02He seems content with the way it's going.
04:04Right.
04:04I would assume from our point of view
04:06from episode one.
04:08Yeah.
04:08Sorry, Kelsey.
04:09We were reading a lot into this.
04:10But I think he doesn't see a problem with it.
04:13Well, why wouldn't he be?
04:13Yeah, because he gets the cake in to eat it too.
04:15Yeah.
04:16Yeah.
04:16I like how you kind of dipped into a Rhode Island accent
04:18for that.
04:19He got the guy.
04:20I do like the accent.
04:22We were trying to dissect it yesterday
04:25with Maddie Magiacomo
04:27who taught for the women a Peloton class.
04:29He's like a Peloton superstar.
04:30We have an interview with him out.
04:31Yeah.
04:32He's from Rhode Island.
04:33And he was explaining that
04:35it's a softer accent than Jersey or Boston.
04:39And he kind of performed for us
04:43examples of all three accents.
04:44Yeah, because it's not like...
04:44Like Boston, I think it's like,
04:46park the car in the Harvard yard.
04:48And because it's like, ah.
04:50And I think Rhode Island's like, ah.
04:51Ma.
04:52Yeah, it's a little bit sweeter and softer.
04:55I love...
04:56Speaking of the Boston.
04:56Alicia?
04:57Alicia.
04:58Oh, I can't...
04:58The Rhode Island accent.
05:00Her...
05:00The way she talks, I'm just obsessed.
05:02I can't get enough.
05:03Yeah.
05:04Britney's Pass.
05:04This is my type of exercise.
05:06It's good for your lymphatic system.
05:08It's good for your feet to do this
05:09for some reason.
05:10I don't know.
05:12I love Britney's Pass.
05:13And what was it...
05:14What was it that?
05:15I'm driving two hours.
05:16Yeah, two hours.
05:18Two hours, two hours.
05:19Same thing.
05:19It's a whole lovely thing.
05:20Britney Spears, Britney Spears.
05:22And I do love to...
05:23You know we...
05:24Did you know we had beef with Rosie?
05:25And it was squashed.
05:26What?
05:27Did you not know that?
05:28What?
05:29Oh, what do you mean?
05:29Yes.
05:30You had beef with...
05:30I had beef with Rosie?
05:32You had beef with Rosie?
05:32You had beef with her by association with me, of course.
05:34What happened?
05:35As I'm going to do.
05:35Because I...
05:37When we interviewed Dolores,
05:38I called her man Frank Sinatra impersonator.
05:41Oh, and she does not like that.
05:43And he does not like that.
05:44And genuinely, like nine times out of ten, I do step in accidentally.
05:49And that was that.
05:49I thought that was what she explained.
05:52Right, yes.
05:53That it's not that.
05:54But I thought it was that.
05:55He just likes to sing Frank Sinatra songs.
05:57Honey, I live in Hoboken.
05:58Who the f*** doesn't like to sing Frank Sinatra songs?
06:00In the sort of style of Frank Sinatra?
06:02He doesn't look...
06:04Now, Evan?
06:04No, no, no.
06:04He doesn't dress up like Frank Sinatra.
06:06Well, he wears a suit.
06:07It's not a full-on tribute act.
06:09He's not doing his...
06:11I think it's kind of like how Lady Gaga goes like,
06:13Love for sale!
06:14Ba-ba-boop!
06:15And it's like...
06:16It's just Lady Gaga being silly.
06:16It's exactly that.
06:17It's him being silly.
06:18Yeah, it's very Lady Gaga, love for sale, ba-ba-boop.
06:20Yeah, you know that.
06:21Honestly, it seems like he's having fun.
06:23And that, I really appreciate.
06:25And also that he does...
06:26The second she was like...
06:28He flips houses with his uncle.
06:29I'm like, oh, there's money there.
06:30He kind of does everything.
06:31He flips houses.
06:32He sings like Frank Sinatra.
06:33He used to be a TV producer.
06:35Rosie herself, she used to be a TV entertainer.
06:37I think she did the weather.
06:38Road tripping.
06:39Now she's doing fun segments about picnics on the beach.
06:42That Joellen dragged the view count.
06:45That Joellen...
06:46Joellen.
06:47That was not...
06:47From a working woman to a working woman.
06:48Come on, Joellen.
06:49Did I laugh?
06:50Yes, but come on.
06:51Joellen.
06:52Wait, did you...
06:53The picnic scene, though.
06:55I feel like that's where a lot of the drama kicked off.
06:58Well, it started out good vibes.
07:00Ashley Eye bringing the munchkins.
07:02Ashley Eye...
07:02When Ashley Eye, I pray, comes into the studio,
07:05I'm gonna need a pail of munchkins.
07:07Girl, there is a Dunkin' close by.
07:08You better bring those munchkins.
07:10Please, please, please, please.
07:11Because now you have set a standard.
07:13Yes!
07:14And I do love, too, when we talked to her at the premiere,
07:15she's like,
07:16I realized I was promoting another coffee company
07:18when me and my husband have a coffee shop,
07:20but we're different.
07:21Okay, really quickly, before we unpack the picnic,
07:24speaking of the coffee shop,
07:25Audrey's that she shares with Jared,
07:26her husband, who she met on Bachelor in Paradise.
07:28By the way, he is so cute.
07:30He is so handsome.
07:31Watching him work the counter at the coffee shop at Audrey's,
07:35in that one scene.
07:36Bending for that eyes.
07:36I was like...
07:37Uh-huh.
07:37His jaw...
07:38And then the way he was...
07:39The jawline, the cheekbones, he is so beautiful.
07:41And the way he was so concerned about all the customers,
07:44which was kind of the issue for Ashley.
07:46Ashley was explaining,
07:47Yeah.
07:47You care way more about Audrey's
07:49than you do about anything else,
07:50and I really would like to see you more
07:52and hang out with you more
07:52and experience you more
07:53in the context of our family,
07:55because they have two very adorable, cute young kids.
07:58They're so cute.
07:58But I don't know if Jared is some sort of actor,
08:03but it was almost like he had superb comedic timing
08:07every time, like, interrupting Ashley I
08:09to tend to a customer.
08:11It was very funny.
08:11It didn't feel real.
08:13It was so hysterical,
08:14because it just felt like an SNL skit.
08:16Yeah.
08:17Ashley was like,
08:18I don't know.
08:18What do you think about this?
08:19He's like,
08:19Brendan.
08:20Right.
08:20I need to be better at it.
08:21I couldn't agree more.
08:23Okay.
08:24Poor Jason's waiting for his drink.
08:26Jason!
08:28And then even the scene,
08:29the scene ended with, like,
08:30poor Pete's waiting for his coffee
08:32as Ashley's trying to, like,
08:33finish up a thought anyways.
08:35Now, she had, like, a turtle latte
08:36that looked like it had caramel in it.
08:38I miss the turtle latte.
08:39Now, if it's not called that, my bad,
08:40but in my mind and recollection...
08:41Well, because, like, a turtle's, like,
08:42a chocolate treat with caramel nuts and stuff.
08:45Uh-huh.
08:46Right?
08:46It looked good.
08:46I would like to go to Audrey's.
08:48I would like to go to Audrey's, too.
08:49It honestly looked like such a cute vibe in there.
08:51And if Jared's taking care of his customers like that...
08:54I know. Oh.
08:54Yeah.
08:55Maddie told us that the location
08:56might not be the best.
08:57Oh, it's kind of close to a highway.
09:00A highway.
09:00Where he says people just drive,
09:01zoom past it.
09:02To the beach.
09:02So, guys, I hope people stop and slow down.
09:05Or maybe I think they should just, like,
09:06change locations.
09:07Although this place does look cute.
09:09And I don't know how easy it is for businesses to do that.
09:10Oh, it's gotta be simple.
09:13There's gotta be more time.
09:15Or maybe just, like, a second Audrey's location.
09:17Or a little pop-up.
09:18Because you know what?
09:19When a business isn't doing well, franchise.
09:21Franchise.
09:22Hey.
09:23That's it.
09:23You're like, let's have two locations.
09:24We will open it.
09:26Let's open an Audrey's in New York City.
09:29Oh, yeah.
09:30Right?
09:30It's gotta be easy.
09:31Yeah.
09:32I'll be working there for two hours.
09:33Yeah, exactly.
09:34Anyways, the picnic.
09:36The picnic was crazy.
09:37Because it was kind of like Joellen versus Rosie.
09:39Rosie cried because Joellen made her cry.
09:42Yeah, it was Joellen, Ashley, I, Rosie, and...
09:46Alicia was there, right?
09:47Alicia was there, yeah.
09:48And it was Rosie and Joellen.
09:50We're going a little back and forth because Joellen has questions.
09:54I mean, Rosie has questions about Kelsey's life.
09:58Yes.
09:59And et cetera.
10:00And then Rosie was like, Joellen, I also heard you talk about me.
10:04You said that I brought cheap wine and that kids don't like me.
10:09And Joellen was like, you did bring cheap wine.
10:12And I don't remember saying all that, but I do think it.
10:14I don't think I said that to your face, but I do feel that way.
10:19That is Housewives.
10:21That's, oh my God, such sublime Housewives.
10:24To fight over cheap wine in the hypothetical sense that kids don't like you.
10:27And then to say I never said that, but I do think it.
10:29That is amazing.
10:31It is amazing.
10:32I love it so much.
10:34Joellen, congratulations on a fabulous performance in that scene.
10:38But also, congratulations to Rosie because I think she said something to the effect of like,
10:43I invited you here and now you're just being yourself.
10:48Like, amazing.
10:49It really is beautiful.
10:50You're complaining about a woman being herself because you don't like who she is authentically.
10:54That's when Ashley I was like, what is happening?
10:56I know she's very, I do think Ashley I is very confused about this experience.
11:00Not only because I don't think she's wired in a drama loving kind of way.
11:04She definitely loves a good cry.
11:06But I think when it comes to the contentious atmosphere of what Housewives could and should be,
11:12coming from the world of Bachelor Nation, I think she's like, wait, where's the roses on champagne?
11:18Yeah.
11:18Where, like, can we all just get along and share a smooch?
11:21Ooh.
11:22You know, like, I think she is.
11:23But she's going to lean into it, I think.
11:25I think she's going to warm up to it.
11:26And I think on Rhode Island episodes to come, the talk of sharing smooches is there because everyone, like,
11:32there's, I feel like the preview had talks of threesomes.
11:35Yes.
11:36Polly vibes.
11:37Like, we're covering ground in Rhode Island.
11:40And Joellen is feeling the majority of the threesome conversations, right?
11:45Because apparently she and her man, well, she put a finger down for, when they played Never Have I Ever,
11:49but she put a finger down for the threesomes of it all.
11:52And I think she was explaining to us at the premiere party that.
11:55It was, like, 15 years ago.
11:56Right.
11:5715 years ago, she and her man had fun with other people.
11:59And now it's being brought back up because we have cameras in front of our faces.
12:03And she's probably like, I had good-ass times then.
12:05And I'll have good-ass times to come.
12:07You know, Housewives have been open about threesomes in the past.
12:09I think of Candy Burris.
12:10She's been open and honest about it.
12:13I think, well, Denise Richards wasn't super open and honest about it.
12:18But it came up.
12:19It came up.
12:22Liz on the dinghy.
12:24Oh, amazing.
12:24I already loved her from the jump.
12:26Like, did she drive the dinghy to lunch?
12:29And lost the Prada hat.
12:30The whole way she drove it.
12:32It was impressive.
12:32So crazy because she lives on the water in that beautiful-ass house.
12:36Oh, the real estate porn of this show is captivating me.
12:41And I really love Liz as her own entity.
12:43But what I really, really, really, really, really love is that she is the reason Dolores Catania
12:48is in Rhode Island.
12:50Them arriving to Joellen's Fourth of July party together.
12:54The physical similarities make it so much fun.
12:57They really are twins.
12:58It's so crazy.
12:59We're crabbing.
13:00We're crabbing.
13:00I make a good crab sauce.
13:02Last time I made crab sauce that I caught myself, I was pregnant for Gabby.
13:06They kind of talk like each other, too.
13:08They kind of talk the same.
13:08And also, they have the same, like, mannerisms.
13:10Yes.
13:10And I know in the preview of episodes to come, Liz is the one who does the iconic,
13:16Buddy Isma.
13:17Which is something Dolores would say.
13:19A hundred percent.
13:19You know?
13:20And so, the Buddy Isma, she's speaking to Rula.
13:25Rula, I believe.
13:26About her man cheating on her?
13:27I think so.
13:28Yeah.
13:28That seems to be what the cookie is crumbling as.
13:30All right.
13:30So, yeah.
13:31I'm interested to see more of, well, any piece of Rula.
13:35I know.
13:36She was fun at the premiere party.
13:37I know.
13:37Yeah, she was.
13:38She was a vibe.
13:39But then, yeah, they had the bouquet of fireworks and everything like that at this Fourth of
13:44July bash.
13:45And Joellen didn't love it.
13:46What do you think she liked less, the bouquet of fireworks from Rosie or the $6 wine from
13:52Rosie?
13:54The $6 wine.
13:55You think that was more disrespectful to Joellen?
13:58Mm-hmm.
13:58Because at least with the bouquet of fireworks.
14:00At least fireworks is on theme.
14:01There's never a theme for $6 wine.
14:02Because it was a Fourth of July party, which apparently Rhode Island goes all out for.
14:06Or who was having trouble remembering the history of the Fourth of July?
14:09It was Joellen.
14:10Okay.
14:10Yeah.
14:11Yeah.
14:11Do you know what, Joellen?
14:12I'm not great at history either.
14:13It's confusing.
14:15But nothing of what she was saying was resonating with the spirit of Independence Day.
14:20But it was fabulous.
14:21It was fabulous.
14:22And then I did also like, because Joellen was like, I don't want to talk to them.
14:26And Dolores was like, you're a host.
14:27Go talk to them.
14:28I see.
14:29And that's why we love Dolo.
14:30So she's always there to do the right thing.
14:33If you opened your house with someone, go talk to them.
14:35Or encourage someone to do the right thing.
14:37That's what we love about Dolores.
14:38I do love that Dolores is on the show.
14:40She did tell us at the premiere party that she kind of, after the premiere episode, she
14:44kind of like dips in and out.
14:45And she wishes she could have been there more, which obviously we want more Dolores.
14:49Which I mean, thank God we're getting on Jersey Housewives.
14:50Thank God.
14:51Soon.
14:52Yes.
14:52Very magical.
14:53Oh, and that was also, oh, Kelsey, not knowing that there's a Jersey Shore.
14:57Oh, yeah.
14:58How did you feel that as a New Jerseyan?
15:00Didn't love that.
15:01Yeah.
15:02I'm like, there's a lot of things I don't know about Rhode Island, but I wouldn't disbelieve
15:04you.
15:05And Kelsey is a pageant girl.
15:07She's won many a crown in the past.
15:08And I do feel like pageant girls should know about the beaches of America.
15:14Yes.
15:15Right.
15:15And also, you're alone for six months of the year.
15:18Come visit us.
15:18Right.
15:19Exactly.
15:19I do want to shout out Kelsey for not only being really fun to watch and being super
15:24vulnerable in discussing the situation with her mysterious man, but she is so pretty.
15:30They all are.
15:31Everyone's so beautiful, but Kelsey, you're like really, really pretty.
15:33Like I.
15:34Oh, you're blushing.
15:35I think she is so gorge.
15:37She is just, I love a pageant girl too.
15:39I really love a pageant girl.
15:40And to learn more about her pageant history was so much fun.
15:43I used to love watching like Miss Universe and Miss USA and all that.
15:46And I feel like pageant culture, unfortunately, kind of died.
15:50I never got into that.
15:51Oh yeah.
15:52I feel like.
15:52You ever got into it?
15:53No.
15:53Have you ever sat down for like a full on like Miss USA?
15:56Never in my life.
15:57Never?
15:58Oh my God.
15:59Like beautiful girls wearing bikinis and spray tans.
16:01And sometimes there's a fun performer like Jessica Simpson or Heidi Montag.
16:04I've never gotten into it.
16:05But now that I know that that was your favorite programming, you make so much sense.
16:08Right?
16:08It makes a lot of sense.
16:10Yeah.
16:10And they're wearing like clear stripper heels.
16:12Yeah.
16:13It's beautiful.
16:14It's so beautiful.
16:15Where are the pageants?
16:16Where are the pageants?
16:18I feel like the behind the scenes of the pageants.
16:19Maybe more truth.
16:20Oh yes.
16:21We did learn some terrible things about.
16:23So I think maybe that's why there's less pageants.
16:25Okay.
16:25And happy people were treated.
16:26Well, where are the happy pageants?
16:27Where everyone's having fun and treated with respect.
16:29If you're happy and you know it.
16:31Well, we're happy and we know it because Rhode Island is honestly amazing.
16:35I cannot wait to see the rest of the season.
16:37For a first season, I do hope there are many episodes to come.
16:40Sometimes it's like.
16:41Seven.
16:41I'm going to need eight.
16:43At least 17.
16:44Please.
16:44Come on, like more than 10.
16:46There's going to be a reunion for sure.
16:48Because I was going to ask.
16:48Did Salt Lake City have a reunion the first year?
16:50Yes.
16:50I think they had to have.
16:51Yeah.
16:51So.
16:51Housewives get reunions.
16:53That is a.
16:53No matter what, right?
16:55That's a fact.
16:56Yeah.
16:56I, uh, I, uh, I, I, I'm excited to see also, I know I'm like jumping the gun, but the
17:01looks
17:02for the cast photo shoot and the opening credits, so beautiful.
17:05I can only imagine that these girls are going to bring that ocean state heat for the reunion.
17:11Oh, and also I have to say too, they kind of, they all knocked out of the park with hot
17:15house husbands.
17:16I was going to ask you, I didn't want to like give the husbands too much attention,
17:20but why is everyone attractive?
17:21Mm-hmm.
17:22Like everyone looks good.
17:23And I do find.
17:24Liz introduced me to her man at the party and I was like.
17:26Wait, how did he hit in person?
17:27I didn't, I did not see him.
17:29It was.
17:29It's all drink of water.
17:30You were feeling it.
17:31And reached out his hand to shake my hand.
17:32I said, oh, hello.
17:33Okay.
17:34And then of course, cause like we shook our hand and then Polly was there and we had
17:36like a full hug.
17:37Wait, speaking of marriages though, I did not realize that Alicia was not like, I, I was
17:42a little bit confused about how she was not married to her husband and her family.
17:45Mom, where's the ceremony?
17:45Her family really wants her to be married to her.
17:48I said married to her husband, married to her fiance.
17:50Married to her man.
17:50But it's been like nine years.
17:52Yeah.
17:53But do you know what?
17:53Sometimes like when it works, it just works.
17:55When it works, it works.
17:56But I think she might want the happy moment.
17:58The, you think she wants the wedding?
18:00Cause I think in, I think in episodes to come, I think she was like,
18:01I thought, I thought I saw that in the trailer, but maybe I'm just, um,
18:05Imagining.
18:06She seems like a girl who would like a wedding.
18:07Yeah.
18:08She could walk down the elevator.
18:09Her daughter would love to be a flower girl.
18:10Oh my God.
18:11Yes.
18:12Throw in the paddles.
18:12Yeah.
18:13That'd be so beautiful.
18:13The daughter, I'm forgetting her name in this moment.
18:17But I remember the handshake.
18:18Yes.
18:19She is.
18:20She's a vibe.
18:20I really like her.
18:21I love it when a housewife child shines brightly.
18:24Yes.
18:25And she does shine brightly.
18:26It's magical.
18:27Okay.
18:27Yeah.
18:27So we can't wait for the rest of the season.
18:29Bravo.
18:30Thank you for this gift.
