00:00The only person I've ever bought a Chanel bag for is my wife.
00:02Is that you right there? Is that your purse?
00:05That's not me.
00:06Okay, gotcha.
00:13Virtual reality.
00:15Hi, I'm Danny Murphy.
00:17I'm Evan Real.
00:17And we could use a cracker right now to come to terms with the fact that we're done with the
00:22first season of Rhode Island Housewives, and I want more right now.
00:25I know, I'm a little bit sad, but the girls really delivered during part two of the reunion.
00:29I just want to say, Joellen, girl, you're the MVP.
00:33Who the f*** are you? You're a psychopath.
00:36I know. Thank you.
00:38Oh, here we go.
00:39I had a baby out of wedlock. It's not a big deal.
00:41Joellen, Rula, when's your wedding?
00:43Thank you, God.
00:44Evan, when's your anniversary?
00:46Do you know what? I don't, none of your business. None of your business.
00:49Do you know what was so crazy is Rula just refusing to state the date of her anniversary.
00:56It is not that hard, and it clearly makes it look like your anniversary and things related to your wedding,
01:03that it's shady.
01:04And you're right, fictional.
01:05Because that was Joellen's point.
01:07She's like, okay, so he got, divorce was filed when?
01:10Boom, boom, boom.
01:11And I love that it was all about Brian and the Spanish teacher.
01:14The Spanish teacher.
01:15That Alicia did love a Spanish teacher.
01:18We didn't really even get any clarity when Brian entered the scene.
01:22I think that his...
01:24Well, also, he said 2013, not 2011.
01:26Right, I know.
01:27So the clarity was just more confusion.
01:28And also all this whole, like, ongoing investigation about because the mistress has part of his company?
01:34That's crazy.
01:35And apparently that was in an attempt to, like, quiet her or make her less reactive.
01:41What?
01:42I don't really, I'm just, I don't get it.
01:44I feel bad.
01:45I honestly feel very bad for Rula.
01:48And I know that Joellen said she could do better.
01:50And Ashley I said she could do better.
01:52Actually, she said you were better than him in front of his f***ing face.
01:56You know you're better than him.
01:59Okay.
02:00I agree, Ashley.
02:02Because I know a lot of people have been saying, Ashley I, like, what are you doing on Housewives?
02:06Because she's just, like, such a sweet girl.
02:08Yeah.
02:08That was an amazing moment that she was like, I just want you to know you're better than him.
02:12Yeah.
02:12And guess what, Rula, babe?
02:13You are.
02:14You are.
02:14You deserve so much better.
02:15He has put Rula through so much.
02:18And it makes me so sad how she is committed to defending him after this man put a tracking device
02:24on her vehicle.
02:26She also didn't, like, really even seem to understand the gravity of that.
02:31Yes!
02:31Like, that is not okay, Rula.
02:33No, it's so bad.
02:34And that she was, like, learning new information that he was lying about at the reunion.
02:39So, so insane.
02:40It's honestly, it's heartbreaking.
02:41And also that she, when she was, like, even with the Liz phone call to Jerry.
02:46Right, and exactly.
02:47Oh, my God.
02:48When she thought she had bodied the girls on that, and then it was a da-dum-dum.
02:53But he put Brian on the phone, so there was a conversation.
02:56And Liz was just like, thank you.
02:57Like, oh, my God.
02:58I know.
02:59That was such a mess.
03:00I do love, I am never going to mess with Joellen.
03:03No, absolutely not.
03:04I am not, because one thing, Joellen will have 800 receipts.
03:07I don't know where she finds them from.
03:08She has receipts from Chanel.
03:09She has receipts from the local police force.
03:12She has receipts from the divorce document.
03:14And she remembers every single date.
03:16Everything.
03:17She remembers everything.
03:19She doesn't even really even have to refer to the receipt.
03:21Wasn't she?
03:21She's got it ingrained in her brain.
03:23She also is the one that knew, that helped Kelsey know that Rosie took out a second mortgage
03:27on her house, allegedly.
03:27She knows everything.
03:28She knows everything.
03:30And that's when Rula was like, you're a psychopath.
03:32Thank you, I am.
03:32She's like, thank you, I know.
03:33And then she did a little maniacal laugh.
03:35She is f***ing incredible.
03:38Also, she's so pretty.
03:40She is so pretty.
03:41And her man loves her down.
03:42Loves her down.
03:43And I love him up.
03:44And up and down.
03:45Up and down.
03:46And all around.
03:47And he did address that hot sauna photo.
03:50Or that hot sauna still from, oh my god.
03:52He said everyone's into the dad bod.
03:55We're into the dad bod.
03:56We are a papa.
03:57She looks so good.
03:58And then even my favorite receipt maybe was, she was like, so in this vehicle that is yours,
04:06this is a Chanel bag that you purchased.
04:09Rula, do you have this bag?
04:10It was.
04:12Joe Allen has to be a detective or a lawyer.
04:14Like, if she was a divorce lawyer, she would be saving lives.
04:19To even, like, accurately recap how incredible some of these Joe Allen moments were.
04:25Like, we couldn't even do it justice.
04:27Like, it was just prime.
04:29It was sublime.
04:29I feel Andy was even, like, stunned.
04:31I, he, like, he must have been so proud.
04:34Oh my god.
04:35And I hope the casting team for Rhode Island Housewives is so proud.
04:39The entire cast is amazing, but Joe Allen, she is really just, like, nothing we've ever
04:45seen before in the Housewives universe.
04:48Incredible.
04:48This was, this was amazing.
04:50Now, Alicia, you know we love you.
04:52And I'm, at least, I left this reunion feeling better about your financial situation in the
04:57sense that your man has your back and your man loves you.
04:59I knew he loved you, and I knew he had your back, but I always thought he was playing
05:04money games towards you and kind of using it as, like, financial bullying, which happens
05:10a lot in relationships.
05:11Right.
05:12Turns out, and well, first, before Billy came out, he, Alicia was like, I know, I don't
05:21know anything.
05:21I don't know.
05:21People didn't trust.
05:22I don't even know what the trust is.
05:23I don't know what a trust is.
05:25Rula tried to explain to her a trust.
05:26She didn't want to hear it.
05:27And everyone was kind of like, oh, this is really weird.
05:29Cut to, he's been apparently begging her to meet with the trust holder, begging her
05:35to come to their accountant, begging her to do all these things.
05:39And then she was just kind of like, I don't like business.
05:40I don't like math.
05:41I don't like legal stuff.
05:43I actually have consistently and persistently recommended monthly meetings to go over our
05:48finances.
05:50Alicia?
05:51A meeting?
05:52She says her brain turns off when things related to money and math and numbers come
05:58up.
05:59But, Alicia, we got to just like turn our brain on for at least 30 minutes.
06:0330 minutes.
06:04That's all it takes.
06:05That's all it takes, my love.
06:07Because, like Danny mentioned, it seems like Billie really does have her best interests
06:13at heart.
06:14I mean, I think the engagement and the marriage, et cetera, I don't want to negate her feelings
06:18completely about all of that.
06:20But financially speaking, in the current dynamic of their relationship, I do think that he wants
06:27to take care of her and he does want to make sure that she is okay.
06:30And he also apparently has even given her the opportunity to learn more about where she stands
06:34financially in their relationship.
06:36And then he offered her 50% of shares in the Pizza Mama company if she committed to driving
06:44their daughter, Selena, to dance every now and then.
06:47And she didn't seem to be interested in that offer.
06:50In fact, she didn't even want that.
06:51She was like, I don't want 50%.
06:52She doesn't want 50%.
06:53And I really don't think she wants to drive Selena to dance.
06:55She doesn't like driving.
06:57She really does not like driving, which she could drive 20 minutes.
07:00After 20 minutes, it's...
07:01That's a whole...
07:01She's got to think about it.
07:02She's got to think about it.
07:03I know.
07:04That was when I was like, it made me comfortable that I was like, at least Alicia's okay, but
07:07I need her to know why she is okay.
07:09Yeah, right, right.
07:10You know what I mean?
07:10I need her just to...
07:11I don't like numbers.
07:13Well, and all the girls, like a lot of the girls were saying like, Billy is such a great
07:16guy.
07:16He really is honestly the best.
07:17And that was before he came on stage and really explained the financial meetings and trying
07:21to make it work and trying to get Alicia more involved.
07:23And at first I was like, okay, because actually, I was very much like, he's, he's
07:27the absolute best.
07:27Like, you got to trust me.
07:28And I was like, I don't know if I trust you because the way Alicia's talking about it,
07:31I don't think he sounds like a trustworthy guy.
07:33But lo and behold, he doesn't seem half bad.
07:37Not at all.
07:38Especially in terms of like the financial situation, which we thought was really sticky, but isn't
07:42as sticky as Alicia made it sound.
07:46Wait, and also speaking of financial situations, Kelsey's paying her own health insurance.
07:50Go Kelsey.
07:51And then what is Billy paying?
07:52Or Bill?
07:52Bill's paying for the car.
07:54Okay.
07:54Um, I am upset that Rosie never got to bring out her little box of receipts.
07:59I know.
07:59Wait, when they told her-
08:00She should have brought it behind the-
08:01Rosie, this is how you know it was her first season.
08:02She should have brought it behind the couch because Andy's not going to let you get up
08:04for no reason.
08:05Yeah.
08:05Next time, bring it, put it behind the couch.
08:08She bedazzled it and everything.
08:10I do.
08:10Oh, I, oh, I missed that.
08:11I love that.
08:12It looked cute.
08:12I think she did.
08:12It looked cute.
08:13I really was wishing that she would just sort of not listen to Andy and not listen to those around
08:20her and just went and grabbed it because I feel like there's probably some really good
08:25information in there.
08:26And I do feel Kelsey might be giving Angela Oakley in the sense that she just said things
08:30because when they were like, so why do you think she left an affair because of a higher
08:33up?
08:34She's like, why does her things were like, I just feel like things were going on.
08:37Yeah, she sort of like admitted that she just made all that shit up, which, you know, in
08:43Rosie's defense, like I can understand why Rosie came for Kelsey so hard during the season
08:49because Kelsey was like, you know, she was talking a lot of shit, but like, I really appreciate
08:55Kelsey and all that she has brought to the Housewives universe.
08:58And I really appreciate that her ex previously dated Paula Abdul.
09:04What a fun revelation that he previously dated Paula Abdul, then they broke up, and then
09:09she would stay at Paula Abdul's house in L.A. when they would go to L.A. to visit.
09:14Like, that's amazing.
09:15I needed like an extra 20 minutes just about Kelsey's history with Paula Abdul.
09:20That is because, you know, we love our Paula.
09:21And also that they met at a tanning salon.
09:23Oh, her and the ex.
09:24Her and the ex because the ex was friends with the owner.
09:27And she worked at the tanning salon or just was going to the tanning salon?
09:29I think she just was a frequent flyer.
09:30Okay.
09:31A frequent flyer at the tanning salon.
09:32A frequent flyer at the tanning salon.
09:34Um, I also do love that the volley that her and Rosie have, and Rosie's like, and I actually
09:38paid for half of my house.
09:39And Kelsey's like, well, you've got a mortgage.
09:41She won't, like, they would just.
09:45See, I know that Kelsey's unfamiliar with the concept of a mortgage because she hasn't
09:48really paid her own rent in quite some time.
09:51But when you buy a house, you get, you get a mortgage.
09:55I think she was saying that it sounded like Rosie meant that like she paid for half of what
09:59the house was worth and not like the 20% down.
10:02She's making it seem like she just paid $689,000 for a house.
10:06If you have a mortgage, you put 10% down.
10:07Do you know how normal people buy a house is?
10:10She still bought a house.
10:12No, I know.
10:13I don't.
10:14I.
10:14I was.
10:15I know.
10:16Do you think she gagged anyone with that?
10:18I think she was like, I think she was just saying that she's like, is kind of like Joellen
10:22light.
10:23Or she's like, I have Joellen on my side to get receipts on you.
10:25Because she's like, I know you have a mortgage and you didn't pay for the house like in full
10:28in cash.
10:30Not many people do.
10:31No, I know.
10:32That's what Kelsey was saying.
10:33She's like, not a lot of people do that.
10:34You're not one.
10:35Like what?
10:36I'm kind of like confused with what Mike she was trying to drop there because it didn't
10:41it didn't land.
10:41I think the Mike she was trying to drop was saying that like, you were trying to say that
10:45like, you're so much richer than me.
10:47I can just buy a house full out.
10:49Did she ever say that?
10:51That's how Kelsey was feeling.
10:53Well, Kelsey was feeling insecure that she is not a homeowner.
10:56So then she made again, made something up, which was apparently Rosie was bragging about
11:03buying a house all cash, which I don't think she ever did.
11:07So I don't, I don't know.
11:09Telling someone they have a mortgage when they're a homeowner is kind of like a, well,
11:12then she's like, yeah, you have a mortgage.
11:13You have two mortgages.
11:14And Rula's like, a lot of people have that.
11:16Well, wasn't it?
11:16It wasn't a second mortgage.
11:17Rosie said it was like a loan for the renovations.
11:20I think she did a home equity loan.
11:21I'm assuming.
11:22Rosie, I'm just assuming.
11:23For the renovations.
11:24For the renovations.
11:25She didn't say it was a home equity loan.
11:27She said it was just like, I mean, it could, it could have been, but can you also take out
11:31a different kind of loan just for like renovations?
11:32That's usually you can take out a home equity loan on your mortgage.
11:35So you borrow against your house?
11:36You borrow against your house.
11:38Gotcha.
11:39Which a lot of people do.
11:40Yeah.
11:41And then Rula was like, I like how Rula gets in her money back.
11:44I forget that she's a full-on financial planner.
11:45I know.
11:46Yeah.
11:47I would trust her with anything.
11:48Which Andy brought up a great point.
11:48Why are you on a reality TV show?
11:50Like, if this is all happening.
11:52And I guess she just really kept on thinking it was done.
11:54Yeah.
11:55I mean, she loves the glitz, the glam.
11:57I guess so.
11:58I guess so.
11:59Glitz and glam, you're still with Brian.
12:00I'm like, I don't see glitz or glam with him.
12:02Also, glitz and glam, Brian, what are you doing in that turquoise suit?
12:05It was rough.
12:06Not even just rough.
12:07If the mistress saw that, that's how I know it's actually done.
12:11That actually, so maybe he wore the turquoise suit so the mistress will stop answering his
12:14calls.
12:15Like, it was so bad.
12:16Like, who advised him to wear that disgustingly hideous suit?
12:19That was so bad.
12:20Now, on the flip side, I will say, Rula, I thought hair, makeup, glam, dress, I thought
12:25she looked really good.
12:26All the girls looked impeccable.
12:27And I guess maybe Brian was just trying to, like, match her turquoise, light blue energy.
12:31It seemed like all the guys matched the girls for the most part.
12:35Yeah.
12:35Also, when was the last time we had a housewife reunion where everyone had a man?
12:39Yeah, you're right.
12:40That's kind of crazy.
12:42The Rhode Island girl, they still got their dudes.
12:43Season one.
12:44Kidding.
12:44Do you, no, I mean, do you think that Rula and Brian will last?
12:49Because I felt, I felt like when Brian came onto the stage and, like, started revealing
12:56things that Rula wasn't privy to, I could just see defeat in her soul.
13:01And to that, you know, that was indicative of, maybe this marriage won't last.
13:05I know.
13:05I hope.
13:06Well, I also didn't know Rula was that close with Ashley and Rosie.
13:09I don't know if they're that, they're couch close.
13:11Like, they were next to each other and it seemed Rosie and Ashley, I were really trying
13:14to talk some sense into her.
13:16Like, you deserve better.
13:17So, maybe if they still, hang on, maybe Rula can hang on with Rosie and Kelsey off camera
13:21because that's their new plan.
13:22Yeah.
13:23I hope Rula leaves him.
13:24I need her to.
13:25Yeah.
13:26Because also, if it keeps, like, because he's not going to stop.
13:28No.
13:29No, definitely not.
13:30And also, if he gives one mistress part equity of his business, soon there's going to be
13:37a mistress with the name of the mortgage.
13:38Well, at least Rula has a prenup.
13:40They both have prenups.
13:41She said.
13:42Oh, that's true.
13:42And it was her idea.
13:43So, luckily, she is hopefully financially protected.
13:47Yeah.
13:47She's a girl about her funds.
13:49That Rula.
13:49I hope so.
13:49So, no matter what happens, at least there's peace in knowing that she's protected financially
13:55through her prenup.
13:56Oh, that's true.
13:56Hopefully, it's like an iron god.
13:57I know she's the only girl with a prenup, right?
13:59Yeah.
13:59Okay, yes.
14:00Yeah, the only, the only one.
14:01Oh, I know.
14:03I just don't need Brian.
14:05I can't handle Brian anymore.
14:06But like I was saying, Kelsey and Rosie, I like how they kind of shit on each other for two
14:09whole parts of the reunion, and they're like, we should try to be friends off camera.
14:12Yeah, and do not.
14:13I think they really are girls.
14:14I think they could do it.
14:16Because I, I think they both, I honestly think, well, Kelsey was talking shit, but then
14:21I think they both were mad that they tried to outprank one another.
14:24And I know they think neither of their pranks were funny, but I think they just have to
14:28like, clean slate.
14:30Yeah.
14:31Because I think maybe in three years, Rosie will be like, okay, I get what you were trying
14:35to do with the cop thing.
14:36Right.
14:37And Kelsey will be like, I get what you were trying to do with the blueprints.
14:40Right.
14:41Yeah, I think that, I think they can make it work.
14:43I think that they are more alike than they think.
14:48I think so.
14:48And if they can just push all this aside, I think it would actually be a really fun friendship.
14:51Don't Rich seem like friends?
14:53Yeah.
14:53They seem like they get along?
14:54Yeah, they seem like they do get along really well.
14:57I think that, I think they could find a place of maybe not best friendship, but like a sort
15:04of like Karen and Giselle dynamic where they can be close, they can be friends, but they
15:08can also give each other shit and it's just fun to watch.
15:11Yeah.
15:12Yeah.
15:12You know?
15:13I think they could be like really great frenemies.
15:15And also especially, I'm like, did Ashley and I enjoy being a housewife?
15:17How long does she, does she, does like.
15:19I think, I think in some sense she did.
15:21I think she really enjoyed her friendship with Rosie.
15:24Oh, that's what, but that's what I was saying.
15:25I'm like, I don't want Rosie to like, if Ashley and I in like a year is like, I can't
15:30handle
15:30this.
15:31Yeah.
15:31I, I mean, she did say that.
15:33I loved her on the show.
15:34So I want Ashley to come back.
15:35I just don't know.
15:36I'm like, did she love doing the show?
15:37She said when Andy was asking about regrets, she regretted not being as outspoken, et cetera.
15:43So I think that if she comes back for a second season, she'll get a little more, I think
15:48she'll approach it with a new energy, maybe with like some more activation inside of her.
15:53I would love to see an activated Ashley.
15:55I think that that girl isn't, I mean, she has so much emotion.
15:59She has the tears.
15:59She can channel them into like shade and aggression.
16:05I don't know if that's great advice, but for the housewives of viewing experience, go
16:11for it, Ashley.
16:11Go for it, girl.
16:12Yeah.
16:13Start some chaos.
16:14Why not?
16:15I know.
16:15I need them to not touch the cast.
16:16Of course.
16:17I don't think we need a newbie.
16:18No, I don't think so.
16:20Although a lot of people have been saying Rula maybe fits better as a friend of, I say,
16:23give her another shot to not film from home and not to work from home.
16:27The amount that she delivered while being a remote employee really is a testament that
16:32we all don't have to return to office.
16:34Right.
16:35I do love how Joellen during part one kept reminding her you were in three episodes.
16:38Yeah, she's like, shouldn't she be gone by now?
16:40Yeah.
16:40Shouldn't she be gone by now?
16:41She was in three episodes.
16:42I will say, like, because first chairs were Liz and Alicia.
16:46Really?
16:47Rula and Joellen carried the entire reunion experience.
16:50They should have been first chairs.
16:51Well, it's funny because Liz and Alicia sat down, they're like, we love each other.
16:53Yeah.
16:54Because they didn't want to have beef with her.
16:55I mean, and they really, I will say, I feel like,
16:57Liz and Alicia, although I think Joellen is such an incredible housewife,
17:01I think that Liz and Alicia are being perceived as the breakout stars.
17:07And so I think that's why they both got first chairs.
17:09And they are stars.
17:10They both have a lot of star power.
17:12And I think because they have the deepest history.
17:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:15Which does make sense.
17:16But Joellen, man, she's really something else.
17:20And then Rula also, I mean, she, although she didn't film a lot this season
17:24and didn't appear in as many episodes as the other girls,
17:26I feel like she delivered as much as she could for the reunion.
17:29She really clocked in.
17:30Also, she was the one, the cameras picked back up for her.
17:33So she, I mean, in some ways, she really has impact.
17:38So let's have that.
17:39I know.
17:40So very excited.
17:41I feel like we're going to start probably filming tomorrow.
17:43I hope so.
17:44Because it's like a summer show.
17:45Oh, we need to have summer.
17:46Yeah.
17:47They got to get down to the shore.
17:50I think the shore, I think they're always at the shore.
17:52The Rhode Island shore.
17:54Because I don't think they call it down the shore up there.
17:56Oh.
17:56Because that's a Jersey thing.
17:57Oh, my God.
17:58They just go to the, I think they go to the beach.
17:59I don't know if they call it the shore.
18:01What do you call it?
18:01Road tripping with Rosie.
18:03Oh, my God.
18:04But you ladies were incredible.
18:06We loved you.
18:07Dolores, I know you're filming Jersey,
18:08but I would have loved just a Dolores to walk by with her cute dog at the reunion.
18:12Yeah, I know.
18:12That would have been nice.
18:13Just to be glamorous and cute.
18:14Because we love our Dolores.
18:15We do.
18:16But we love that she's on Jersey.
18:17And we love Rhode Island.
18:18What a fabulous season.
18:19And guys, I mean, we're recapping all the other shows.
18:21But we are very excited already for season two of Rhode Island Housewives.
