00:00Right now, right now, I get along with everyone.
00:02But I also feel like people don't want to tell me everything
00:04because they're going to be like,
00:04oh, you're going to sort of stick up for her.
00:06Oh, you're going to give her an excuse.
00:07And they don't want me to soften them.
00:09They want to go to town.
00:14Virtual reality.
00:17Alicia from the Real Housewives of Rhode Island,
00:19we love you so much.
00:20We chatted with you for Patriots Radio,
00:22and the fact that we're getting a double dose of you
00:23means everything to us.
00:25Thank you so much.
00:26This is magic.
00:27I know, we love that you are a housewife now
00:30because we just want to talk to you all the time.
00:31And this season, this first season of Rhode Island
00:34has been explosive.
00:35How has the Rhode Island group chat been
00:38as the episodes come out?
00:40What do you mean?
00:41Like how people have responded?
00:42Like all of the ladies, like is there a group chat?
00:44Not no more.
00:45No, we're definitely divided.
00:47No.
00:48Definitely.
00:49What are the two group chats going on?
00:50Or are there like three or four group chats?
00:52There's a few.
00:53I don't think I'm on all of them either.
00:55Really?
00:55Shopping for Switzerland.
00:56I feel like you get along with everyone for the most part.
01:00I know you're going to have your moment with Rosie,
01:01but you and Rosie are good today.
01:03Is there anyone who you are sort of maybe not vibing with,
01:08like on their end,
01:09that they wouldn't include you in a group chat?
01:11No, I actually right now, right now,
01:13I get along with everyone.
01:14But I also feel like people don't want to tell me everything
01:16because they're going to be like,
01:17oh, you're going to sort of stick up for her.
01:18Oh, you're going to give her an excuse.
01:20They don't want me to soften them.
01:21They want to go to town.
01:23They don't want to talk to you
01:24because you'll help solve the problem.
01:26I'm always like, no, there's quite a better way, you know?
01:29Did you make, like,
01:30because the moment when you all were on the Today Show,
01:32which can we, like, you were on the Today Show.
01:34That's insane.
01:34Insane.
01:35And when they were like,
01:36and you're all friends, right?
01:37And the silence was so loud.
01:40It was, because we're all like,
01:43I guess I'll say, yeah, yes, you know?
01:45I mean, you're friends with everyone.
01:47Yeah.
01:47Which is great.
01:48For now.
01:49I was going to say,
01:50I feel there is so much,
01:52there's a lot of, like, little divides going on
01:55because, of course, like, Joellen and Rula.
01:57And then what shocked me,
01:58I didn't know we were going to see Kelsey and Liz go at it.
02:01Yes.
02:02Well, we heard it.
02:02We didn't see it.
02:03Yeah.
02:04What did you make of that going down
02:08in this last episode?
02:10So, when I watched it,
02:11I had a whole different opinion.
02:12Oh, okay.
02:13What did you think at first,
02:14and how did watching it change your mind?
02:16So, at first, I was like, wow.
02:18I've never heard Kelsey yell, you know, a cry.
02:20I've never seen her act up.
02:22So, I was like, oh, wait, who is this?
02:23So, I was kind of, like, watching, like, a movie.
02:24Yeah.
02:25Like, I was like, oh, what does she do when she gets mad?
02:27Oh, this is like,
02:28because it's important to pay attention
02:29to, you know, how people act when they're upset.
02:33And the vibe was,
02:34oh, I just wanted to get the hell out.
02:36I'm going to be honest with you.
02:36I was like, this, I went up,
02:38I checked to make sure,
02:39and I was like, it's just, we need to go.
02:40Yeah.
02:41You know.
02:41And now that you watched it,
02:42how do you feel?
02:44I kind of feel like,
02:45I understand why Liz was upset a little bit more.
02:48Before, I was more like, oh, Kelsey.
02:49But I think that, like, Liz,
02:51she just felt like my best friend.
02:52It was the ongoing, like,
02:54Liz didn't like how she said it.
02:55Right.
02:55And it triggered her.
02:56Do you feel Kelsey meant to push a button,
02:59or it just came out of her mouth?
03:00I just think that Kelsey just slipped
03:02and just said what she was saying.
03:04Like, oh, I don't think it's a good idea.
03:05And Liz was like, what do you mean it's not a good idea?
03:07Yeah.
03:07She has nothing to be guilty about.
03:09Will we learn more about Kelsey's dynamic with Dino?
03:13Because it seems like there's something weird going on.
03:16We just don't know it yet.
03:17Yeah.
03:18Okay.
03:18Did they date or hook up?
03:21Or what's the story there, Alicia?
03:24So, I will find out when you do.
03:27I've heard rumors, the rumors,
03:28but it was very shocking to me.
03:31I'm like, does she have a type?
03:34I mean, like, it's like, I don't, it's different.
03:36I mean, we, you know, it's good to try different flavors.
03:38Yeah.
03:39But, like, this is, like, complete opposites.
03:41It's unpredictable.
03:42Yeah, unpredictable.
03:43She keeps you on your toes.
03:44Yeah.
03:45I guess when would she have the time
03:46between the mystery man,
03:48and then there's Bill,
03:49and then I guess she can make room for Dino
03:52when she wants.
03:53Okay.
03:54Wow.
03:55So are Liz and Kelsey,
03:57do you feel like their friendship is kaput,
03:59or do they end up getting back to a better place?
04:01They're so close.
04:02Okay.
04:03You know, and I think that, like,
04:04when you're so close with people,
04:05it's easy to fight because, you know,
04:06your feelings get hurt easily.
04:08Right.
04:08Yeah.
04:08How much did you lose your mind
04:10at that Joellen post
04:11where she talked about how your husband
04:12sleeps in Cranston about Rula?
04:15I didn't pretend like I didn't see it.
04:17You want to write it out tomorrow?
04:19Oh, I didn't see it.
04:19They're like, did you see it?
04:20No, I didn't see it.
04:21I've been so busy, you know,
04:24and I literally, that's what I just did.
04:25I played dumb because I had to.
04:27I just didn't feel like it again.
04:28That's all we talked about for a year.
04:30Do you think that Joellen's intentions
04:32in the beginning
04:33when she did share the information
04:35and did share the photos,
04:36were her intentions pure,
04:37or do you think she was trying
04:39to make Rula's life implode?
04:42I think they were pure, you know.
04:45She wanted to tell her,
04:46but I think that, like,
04:47you know, Rula was like,
04:48I took him back.
04:50He's, you know, my family.
04:51I love him.
04:52And I think that she wanted us
04:53all to accept it.
04:55And I think Joellen kept it,
04:56but I have more information.
04:57And, you know,
04:58you've got to accept
04:58she didn't want to hear it.
04:59She was done, I guess,
05:02from what it sounds like.
05:02I don't know.
05:03Okay.
05:03I know it was awkward.
05:05The tension at Liz's party
05:07of the sit-down of Rula, Joellen,
05:09and their husbands
05:09was very tense.
05:10And I thought the most tense
05:12was Rula in the car back home,
05:14where she was like,
05:15why didn't you defend yourself
05:16or me?
05:18You know, with Brian,
05:19you guys are going to think
05:20I'm crazy.
05:20Why?
05:21But if you,
05:21I probably said this to you
05:22this morning,
05:22if you put that story aside,
05:24he is very well-liked.
05:25People love him in Rhode Island.
05:27I think he really messed up a lot
05:30over and over.
05:31And, you know,
05:32they do love each other.
05:34I witnessed it.
05:34So I was there
05:35when he was with the kids.
05:36He's a great father, you know?
05:38And so when I see that side of him
05:39being a family man,
05:40being a great husband,
05:41it's so hard to see the truth
05:44sometimes, you know?
05:46Right.
05:46And you want to see them win.
05:47So for me,
05:48I want them to work on their marriage.
05:49I do.
05:50Do you think Joellen
05:51wants to see them win?
05:53Would she like to see them break up?
05:55Not right now.
05:56Okay.
05:56You know?
05:57Not right now.
05:57But I think her attention
05:58started off like very pure.
05:59Yeah.
05:59And I think it is that hard thing
06:01where someone looking
06:03at someone else's relationship,
06:04they're like,
06:04I wouldn't put up with that.
06:06But if they want to deal
06:07with something,
06:07then you kind of just have
06:08to let them...
06:09Let them.
06:09Do it.
06:10You know what I mean?
06:11You've got to let them.
06:12Let them be.
06:12They've got to figure it out themselves.
06:14You know?
06:14You don't know
06:15what you are feeling
06:16or how you're going to be
06:17until you're in a situation.
06:18You know?
06:19You really don't know.
06:21You think you would be
06:22something different
06:22until you're in it.
06:23You're like,
06:23oh, so I am that girl.
06:25And that sucks.
06:25And some people
06:26don't want to be embarrassed
06:27about that either
06:27or reminded about it,
06:28you know?
06:29What you and Billy have
06:30seems so strong.
06:32Going on Housewives,
06:33going on reality TV
06:34is not easy for relationships
06:35most times.
06:36Do people come for your relationship
06:38throughout the season?
06:40Or did you have any talks
06:40with him prior to filming?
06:42Like, look,
06:42this is what we're going to do
06:43to make sure that,
06:44you know,
06:44we're impenetrable
06:45and no one can really
06:46take us down.
06:47Like, how do you handle that?
06:48I didn't talk to him
06:50about this stuff.
06:51Okay.
06:51I mean, like,
06:52I didn't tell...
06:52I think I just kind of,
06:53it was just like,
06:54how the day went,
06:55that's what I did on the show.
06:57Okay.
06:57Yeah.
06:57I probably should have thought of it.
06:58Well, obviously,
06:59that's the best way
07:00to approach it.
07:00It's good when you do it.
07:01It's authentic.
07:02So I was,
07:02I kept it real,
07:03but I mean,
07:05it is hard.
07:06It's hard to rewatch it
07:07because you're like,
07:07oh, I shouldn't have said that.
07:08He is a good guy,
07:09but, you know,
07:11there are our problems.
07:12We have our problems,
07:13you know?
07:14Right.
07:14But you don't feel like
07:15the cast came for your
07:16relationship in any way.
07:17Oh, no,
07:18because I was so open
07:18and honest about it
07:19that they couldn't
07:20because I was like,
07:21this is what it is.
07:21Because then you get to,
07:21like, claim it for yourself.
07:23Yeah.
07:24You guys really,
07:25I mean,
07:25you're very open
07:26about the relationship
07:27and the prenup
07:28and the not getting married,
07:29et cetera.
07:30Did you always know
07:32that you were going to be
07:32open and honest about that
07:33or did you have to be,
07:34like, encouraged
07:35to be so vulnerable?
07:37I'm an open book.
07:37It's amazing.
07:38Honestly,
07:38that's, like,
07:39the best quality
07:39for a reality star
07:41because I feel like
07:41a lot of housewives
07:42come into the game
07:42and they're not super,
07:44you know,
07:44transparent about
07:45what's going on.
07:46No.
07:47But you're very brave
07:47for being so transparent.
07:49I'm like,
07:49and it's weird
07:50because I'm like,
07:50we're friends,
07:51like, off camera,
07:52but then we're on camera.
07:53I'm like,
07:53so,
07:54who are you today?
07:55You know?
07:56So that could happen,
07:57not with any of the guys,
07:57I shouldn't say,
07:58but it does happen
07:59because I think that
08:00when the cameras are on,
08:01you're, like,
08:01you're thinking about,
08:02I want this,
08:03but oh my God,
08:03the whole world
08:04is going to see me.
08:05I'm exposed
08:05and it's like,
08:06you don't realize it
08:07until you're on the cameras,
08:08you know?
08:09Did any of the,
08:09because like you were saying,
08:10there's like 85 different
08:11group chats now
08:12of who is getting along
08:13with who.
08:14Is anybody so far,
08:16is everyone allowing
08:17everyone to be friends
08:17with one another
08:18or are they like,
08:19you're talking to her?
08:20Yeah, of course.
08:21That's why I pretend
08:21I don't see anything.
08:23Like, I'm like,
08:23you know what?
08:24What's a white lie here
08:25and there?
08:25What are you going to do?
08:26I'm so tired.
08:27I'm so tired
08:28of trying to be like,
08:29no, she's good.
08:29She didn't mean that.
08:30You know what I mean?
08:31You know who seems
08:32like she's going to,
08:32I feel like,
08:33stay out of the drama
08:34in a beautiful way
08:35because I just think
08:35she's so sweet
08:37and confused
08:38at what's going on Ashley.
08:40I love Ashley.
08:41Yeah, she has a very,
08:41it seems like she has
08:42a very pure heart
08:42and whenever drama starts,
08:44she's like,
08:44wait guys,
08:44can we all be friends?
08:46Ashley, I feel like,
08:47I don't know
08:48what friends she had
08:48growing up
08:49in a good way
08:50because I'm like,
08:51I'm so used
08:51to this dysfunctional.
08:53So like her,
08:54she's,
08:54this is good for her too.
08:55She needed to break her in.
08:57Yeah.
08:57You know,
08:57and it's good for us
08:58to have someone so naive.
09:01Were you a Bachelor fan at all?
09:02Did you see her
09:03on Paradise?
09:04I didn't know
09:04how famous she was.
09:05Oh yeah,
09:05she was a good deal.
09:06who is she?
09:07Like, who is she?
09:08I thought she was
09:08from Nebraska at first.
09:10She kind of gives
09:11Nebraska energy.
09:12She does.
09:12Hold some good,
09:13you know,
09:13like a pickup truck
09:14with a beer can.
09:15I just,
09:15you know,
09:16just so chill
09:17like a fire girl,
09:18you know,
09:18somebody small.
09:19Oh yeah.
09:20But she's not,
09:21you know,
09:21but that's,
09:22she's just so different
09:23from Rhode Island.
09:23I do,
09:24speaking of,
09:25I love how open
09:25she is about her
09:27and Jared's situations too
09:28about finances
09:30with the coffee shop
09:31and are they making
09:32time for each other?
09:33And it just seems
09:33like they really
09:35have a good thing
09:36going in the sense
09:36that they know
09:37it needs to be better.
09:39Yeah.
09:39Which I feel is very,
09:40I love how vulnerable
09:41she's being.
09:42She is,
09:42because when your husband,
09:44like,
09:44you know,
09:44my,
09:44my fiance,
09:45he's in a restaurant business
09:46and they're just never home.
09:48They can't be,
09:49they have to,
09:49you know,
09:50so I understand with her,
09:51you know,
09:51I understand what she's
09:52going through a lot.
09:53But then I actually enjoy it.
09:54I said,
09:54this is your time.
09:55Blast music.
09:56Have some friends over.
09:58True.
09:58Have fun.
09:59Buy some dolls.
10:00Buy some dolls.
10:02Do whatever the hell
10:02you want.
10:03Party.
10:04Yeah,
10:04exactly.
10:05But I don't get it,
10:05you know,
10:05but that's with time,
10:06you know?
10:07That's true.
10:07Aside from Ashley,
10:08most of the cast
10:09is so connected
10:10and does have like
10:10deep,
10:11you know,
10:11roots in Rhode Island.
10:13Yeah.
10:14Knowing most of the cast
10:15for such a long time,
10:16did anyone change at all
10:18in front of the cameras?
10:19Or do you,
10:21did you sense it?
10:21I think so a little bit.
10:22I just think that like
10:22it's maybe normal,
10:23it's nerves,
10:24excitement.
10:25Right.
10:25You know?
10:26Who surprised you
10:27the most in that way?
10:28Who changed in front of it?
10:29Yeah.
10:29Depends on the week.
10:30Okay.
10:31Right.
10:31Maybe at the start of filming
10:33you were like,
10:33oh,
10:33who,
10:34like what?
10:34Yeah.
10:35Yeah.
10:35A little bit,
10:35you know.
10:36Gotcha.
10:36And then did they
10:37eventually sort of
10:38settle into their
10:39more authentic personalities?
10:40Yeah.
10:41Nerves.
10:41It's nerves.
10:42It's nerve wracking.
10:43Were you nervous
10:44when the cameras came around
10:45or like how did you
10:46assimilate?
10:46So weird.
10:47I swear to God
10:48on my daughter.
10:48Okay.
10:49I thought I was going to be,
10:50because I have anxiety,
10:51like for sure.
10:52You know,
10:52I can't drive.
10:52I was like,
10:53I am going to be freaking out.
10:55And then I was like,
10:55this is like,
10:56it didn't feel real yet.
10:58You know what I mean?
10:58Like it just didn't feel real.
10:59Does it feel real now?
11:01I mean,
11:01after today,
11:03all the press.
11:03I feel the shoe pain
11:04in the heels.
11:05It feels really real.
11:06Yeah.
11:06But you're enjoying it,
11:07right?
11:07Love it.
11:08I couldn't be more happy.
11:10And Art,
11:10I'm kind of wondering now
11:11with being in your
11:13Housewives realm
11:13and anything,
11:14has your relationship
11:15to like what you're buying
11:16to shop and clothes
11:17and everything,
11:18has that changed?
11:19Like what have you been doing
11:19to like either amplify
11:21or amplify your style?
11:22I have changed my style.
11:24I love clothes,
11:25by the way.
11:25Oh, I love clothes.
11:25We have no shops
11:26in Rhode Island.
11:27But I started getting
11:28into the mom era.
11:29It's very easy
11:30to do after COVID.
11:31I was,
11:32you know,
11:32yoga pants,
11:34different sneakers.
11:34Now I'm like,
11:35oh, hell no.
11:36You know?
11:36Now I brought back
11:37me again.
11:38Like I feel like
11:39just because I'm 41,
11:40I could dress like I'm 26.
11:41I don't care.
11:42Why not go to Whole Foods
11:43like a superstar?
11:44I'm going to wear heels.
11:45You know,
11:46a lot of people
11:46don't do that
11:47in Rhode Island anymore.
11:48Oh, I love that you do that
11:49because I love dressing up
11:50to go out to do anything
11:51because it makes you feel better.
11:52Yeah, it makes me feel good
11:53because if not,
11:53I'll get in a funk
11:54and I'll go to like McDonald's
11:55and have a burger
11:55because I'm in yoga clothes
11:59and most shops
12:00being in Rhode Island,
12:01where do you shop?
12:02Is it all online pretty much?
12:03If I travel,
12:04I shop a lot
12:04and online.
12:05Okay.
12:06In New York City,
12:06are you shopping anywhere?
12:07Do you have time to shop
12:08while you're here?
12:08I started,
12:09I only went to one store
12:10and then we got tired.
12:11Did we get anything good?
12:12Yeah, I bought these shoes.
12:13Oh, the shoes are amazing.
12:15And I want to go back.
12:17Yeah.
12:17What store?
12:18It's,
12:18I don't even know
12:18the name of it.
12:19It's like all like
12:21sample sales
12:22right off the runway.
12:23There you go.
12:24Okay.
12:24It looks like you stepped
12:25off the runway today,
12:26girl.
12:27Yeah.
12:27And you were,
12:28we were talking a little bit
12:29at Page Six Radio
12:30how you kind of were like
12:31Rosie's wing girl
12:33because no one really
12:35was vibing with her
12:36at the jump.
12:37How does she grow
12:39to become more of a vibe
12:41of the group?
12:41Or,
12:42because it seems like
12:42she does have fun
12:43pressing buttons.
12:44Is that just kind of
12:45what she does all season?
12:46I don't think she realizes it.
12:47Okay.
12:48She does it well.
12:49She does it so well.
12:50She's a genius at it.
12:51Yeah.
12:52And, you know,
12:53I think that like
12:54she just comes across
12:55the wrong way
12:55and I think she's sensitive,
12:56you know,
12:57and I think that she wants
12:58to be accepted
12:59but she's like
13:00maybe doing it
13:00in the wrong way
13:01and she doesn't realize it.
13:02She's like a little sister.
13:04Yeah.
13:04That's true.
13:04I like really,
13:05like,
13:05and I love her.
13:06I have the best,
13:07I have the best time with her.
13:08We're obsessed with her.
13:08I think she is so hysterical.
13:10And I think her and her husband
13:11are so cute together.
13:12So cute.
13:13Who is your favorite
13:14husband on the show
13:15other than Billy,
13:16obviously?
13:17Do you vibe with one the most?
13:19with Gary.
13:19Yeah.
13:19Since we were like
13:20prayer parties.
13:21I do all that.
13:22I mean,
13:23communion,
13:23confirmation,
13:24and I love his parents.
13:25So like Gary,
13:26I would say.
13:27I know him so well,
13:28yeah.
13:28Aw.
13:29Yeah,
13:29it's a good group of guys
13:30that honestly,
13:31in a way,
13:31kind of reminds me of Jersey,
13:33how the guys are also
13:34very likable.
13:34I feel like all the husbands
13:35on Rhode Island
13:36are also very likable.
13:37Was Billy excited
13:38to film with you
13:40when this all started
13:41or did you kind of
13:41have to like
13:42convince him?
13:43Yeah.
13:43I mean,
13:43he's so busy.
13:44He's so busy with his work
13:45but he showed up
13:46and showed up.
13:47I'd be like,
13:47Billy,
13:48we need food
13:48and he'd help.
13:49He did it for me.
13:50He'd be like,
13:51get all the platters
13:52and stuff.
13:52Like he would show up
13:53like that,
13:54you know?
13:54Like,
13:54I need the pool cleaned.
13:55Call the clean lady.
13:56Like,
13:56because I was giving out orders.
13:57I'm not used to this.
13:58Yeah.
13:59You know what I mean?
13:59I'm like,
14:00oh my God,
14:00you know?
14:00So I was very demanding
14:02this summer
14:02and he came through.
14:03I love that.
14:04And I'm kind of wondering
14:05because like you were saying,
14:06like you,
14:07everyone has known each other
14:07for so long.
14:08Have you like talked
14:09to any of like
14:10your like former like
14:11teachers or people
14:11growing up
14:12that are like,
14:12this is,
14:13what's happening now?
14:14You got,
14:15there's a show?
14:16Like,
14:16they always like thought,
14:18but I feel like Joellen
14:19and me were going
14:19to be on TV.
14:20Yeah.
14:21They're like,
14:21I'm not surprised.
14:22I was like,
14:23what?
14:24You know?
14:24But yeah,
14:25Joellen too.
14:25She has a big personality.
14:27She has such a big personality.
14:28And Liz.
14:28I mean,
14:28hello,
14:29Liz is epic.
14:30So another one.
14:31Yeah.
14:31Liz is so fun.
14:32We're so excited.
14:32We're doing a live show
14:33with Liz and Dolores.
14:34Yeah.
14:35And they are just
14:35such a fun dynamic duo.
14:37And they really do
14:38remind me of what,
14:38like I'm like,
14:39they do feel like
14:40they are related somehow.
14:41They look like twins.
14:43It's hard to tell them apart.
14:45So Liz has the long,
14:46the long hair
14:46and Dolores isn't as long.
14:48Okay.
14:48That's like,
14:49it's like Mary Kay
14:49and Ashley at this point.
14:50It's like really,
14:51honestly,
14:51very tough.
14:52You were telling us
14:53that the casting process
14:54kind of took a whole year.
14:56How would you describe
14:56the casting process?
14:57Did you enjoy it?
14:58Were you surprised
14:59that they found you
15:00or did you seek it out?
15:01Like,
15:01how did it all work out?
15:02They actually found me.
15:04I thought it was a joke.
15:05Okay.
15:06And then I just loved
15:07like the producers,
15:09like the process of it.
15:10It was like kind of fun.
15:11So like,
15:11it was like easy.
15:12It was like very weird,
15:14like very easy.
15:15It was almost like meant to be.
15:16You know what I mean?
15:17It was like very,
15:18it wasn't stressful.
15:19Like I said,
15:20like I thought
15:20there would be like more
15:21like LA assholes.
15:22I said that once before.
15:24Like strits,
15:25like what are you wearing?
15:25They were just so calm
15:26and be yourself.
15:27So I felt like it was easy.
15:28Yeah.
15:29For me.
15:30I don't know.
15:30We all felt that way actually.
15:32Yeah.
15:32It just felt right.
15:33It felt right.
15:34It was supposed to happen.
15:35And that's what I do feel like,
15:36because everyone is loving
15:37that this season,
15:39like the series kicked off,
15:40you guys got right into the drama
15:41and right into like
15:42the fun conversations.
15:43Like we feel like there was like,
15:44oh,
15:45I know everybody right now.
15:45It's easy.
15:46It's great.
15:47It is.
15:47I know.
15:48Which I know.
15:48I feel like there are moments
15:49where I'm like,
15:49oh my God,
15:50I hope the girls can have
15:51some time to relax
15:51because it is a lot of like
15:53drama and tension,
15:54which is like very entertaining
15:55to watch.
15:56But do you feel,
15:57did you have like,
15:58can you tease like a very fun moment
15:59you guys all had together
16:00that you're like,
16:01oh,
16:01I can't wait for people to see this.
16:03Oh,
16:04I love,
16:04we went to a castle.
16:06Ooh.
16:07And like my dream,
16:08if you know,
16:08like I like love dolls
16:09and stuff like this.
16:10A castle to me
16:11was a fairy tale.
16:12Where was the castle?
16:13It was in Newport
16:14and it was like,
16:15it was just a really
16:16fairy tale.
16:16Isn't that amazing
16:17that you live near castles?
16:19Like Rhode Island is,
16:20I think so much more magical
16:21than people may realize
16:22and hopefully we get
16:23a bigger glimpse
16:24into Rhode Island
16:24just like watching the show
16:25because I don't,
16:26I didn't know much
16:27about Rhode Island.
16:27I went there once
16:28for a wedding
16:28and it was beautiful,
16:29but it just seems
16:30like such a vibe.
16:31It seems like,
16:31I feel like tourism
16:32is going to like go up now.
16:33If you go to a CVS,
16:34this is what I tell people,
16:35this is so random,
16:36okay?
16:37But if you just like
16:37stop in a CVS
16:38like in Cranston
16:39or like,
16:40you know,
16:41the people are a sight.
16:43That's a show in itself.
16:44Like who's wearing leopard
16:45all dolled up,
16:46perfumed out,
16:47like a spot comb
16:48with a shirt out.
16:49It's just,
16:50everyone's got
16:50such a personality.
16:52So just by going
16:53into a CVS
16:53and taking it in
16:54is a show.
16:55I also love too
16:56because like Taylor Swift's
16:57house is in Newport,
16:59right?
16:59So I love,
17:00I want her to,
17:00I hope when she went to CVS
17:01she was also in The Leopard.
17:02Oh yeah,
17:03yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:03I'm telling you,
17:04it's crazy.

17:22I want to live there.
17:24Well,
17:24speaking of neighborhoods,
17:25is Cranston really that bad?
17:26I,

17:30I went to therapy
17:31for moving to Providence
17:32with Billy

17:33We went to couples therapy,
17:34I swear to God.
17:35Wow,
17:35okay.
17:35Yeah,
17:3616 minutes
17:36because I said,
17:36why would you do this to me?
17:37So I love Cranston.
17:38The East Side is more like,
17:40it's a different vibe
17:41but I'm a Cranston girl.
17:42Oh,
17:43I love that.
17:43I know,
17:44it's like really getting
17:44a lot of hate though right now.
17:45I'm like so confused.
17:46I know,
17:46one of my friends lives in Cranston
17:47and she's like,
17:48I love that my show
17:48is getting attention,
17:49like my town
17:50is getting talked about.
17:51Cranston for life.
17:52Oh my God.
17:53Do you have a favorite place?
17:54Like when you make
17:55the long journey,
17:56the 15 minutes back to Cranston,
17:57what's like your favorite
17:57space there?
17:59I mean,
17:59I just love Twin Oaks.
18:01Like it's like an Italian restaurant.
18:02It's not too fancy
18:03but you feel like you're home.
18:04The drinks are strong.
18:05They make good garlic bread
18:06with the dip in the marinara.
18:09Baked stuffed shrimp,
18:10a nice chicken parmesan,
18:11sauce on the side.
18:12It's just,
18:12it feels like home.
18:13I love that.
18:14You know,
18:14the waiters are so old school.
18:16They're all Italian men
18:17and they're just,
18:17they'll give you,
18:18they'll make anything that you want.
18:19Like it's just like old school.
18:21It's like Sopranos.
18:21If you were like an Italian dish,
18:23which would you be?
18:24Oh,
18:25that's a good one.
18:26I never thought of that.
18:26I would say chicken parmesan
18:28but I don't like the sauce.
18:29I like the lasagna.
18:30Lasagna?
18:31I like lasagna.
18:32There's layers to lasagna.
18:33Yeah.
18:34It's a fun,
18:35it's fun.
18:35A lasagna.
18:36And you can do like
18:37a meat lasagna,
18:37a veggie lasagna.
18:38Like there's so many different
18:39ways to do lasagna.
18:40Yeah.
18:40It's very multidimensional.
18:41Kind of like you.
18:42Yeah,
18:42I like a lasagna.
18:43Oh,
18:43I like that.
18:44But I can't be around it
18:45because I turned into
18:45a drug addict for it
18:46and I can't remember it.
18:47That's the thing.
18:48Like one square of lasagna
18:49is impossible.
18:50I'll eat the whole platter.
18:51The whole platter.
18:51Oh my God.
18:52And when you said
18:52the garlic bread,
18:53I just want the whole sleeve.
18:54Yeah.
18:55Just dip it in the marinara,
18:56heat it.
18:57And then put some cheese
18:58on top with the marinara.
19:00Do you know,
19:01who's the best cook
19:02on Rhode Island Housewives?
19:04I don't think any of us cook.
19:06Really?
19:07Yeah.
19:07I don't even think
19:08any of us cook.
19:09Maybe Rula?
19:09I don't think she,
19:10no,
19:10she doesn't cook at all actually.
19:11No,
19:11I don't think any of us cook.
19:13That's all right.
19:14That's what catering's for.
19:14I'm not good at cooking either,
19:15but that's why
19:15I love to order the Italian food.
19:17They made us lazy,
19:18Grubhub and DoorDash.
19:19Right.
19:19Why do I cook?
19:20Like, you know,
19:21it's,
19:21you can have any restaurant
19:22delivered to your house.
19:24I know.
19:2420 minutes.
19:24And I'm always like,
19:25they're so much better at it.
19:26They're the professional.
19:27Yeah.
19:27I don't know how to do that.
19:28Leave it to the professionals.
19:29Leave it to the professionals.
19:30Stimulate the economy.
19:32Yes, exactly.
19:34Small businesses too,
