Welcome back everyone to another episode of All Routa Podcast. This is Chris.

SPEAKER_06 0:22

And this is Angela. And we are here to cover that second episode that I didn't even know was out of Rhode Island. I mean, wow, it was what, like days later, three days later.

SPEAKER_03 0:35

Yeah, they gotta get it, you know, kind of like in order at this point. You know, it's like, okay, now we're it's gonna be going forward for now it's Sunday going forward.

SPEAKER_06 0:43

Okay. So let's just get in.

SPEAKER_03 0:45

Oh my god, because you know, really what what they didn't have really much on Sundays except for Potomac, which I wasn't too much of a great fan of uh at the beginning of the season.

SPEAKER_06 0:55

So yeah, so okay, let's get into this episode. Liz House is what I put.

SPEAKER_04 1:03

That's like okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:05

Okay, they we're at Liz's house and she's having family over. There she's meeting the stepdaughter's man's family because she is pregnant.

SPEAKER_03 1:17

Yes. I was like, so she got tagged like immediately. I was like, wow.

SPEAKER_06 1:23

Tagged?

SPEAKER_03 1:24

Yeah, like that's a thing.

SPEAKER_06 1:26

So what thing? It's the same.

SPEAKER_03 1:29

I've never heard that in my life. You never heard that? No. Whatever.

SPEAKER_06 1:32

So okay, so I mean, do you have anything to say about that?

SPEAKER_03 1:38

It's um uh I it's just to me, it's like don't like don't put too much weight into this. You know, it's like it's a young couple, you know, he's probably gonna bail. Um, you know, this is not gonna be a forever thing.

SPEAKER_05 1:51

Why are you so like just being stop being so cynical?

SPEAKER_03 1:55

Like I'm just being honest. Like, come on.

SPEAKER_06 1:58

Now that I'm I'm reading this, I'm like, well, obviously they're only including this because they want to show the history with her and her stepdaughters, right?

SPEAKER_03 2:08

Fair to say.

SPEAKER_06 2:08

Because then later on we have that whole thing with Doctor.

SPEAKER_01 2:11

It's fair to say mixing up Rula Rick the Rula presentation.

SPEAKER_06 2:19

Ashley and Joe Allen they meet for a play date, and in true Ashley fashion, she cries about Jared.

SPEAKER_03 2:31

Dude, this was this was sad. Like, this was I was like, oh god, she's so like it's like there's so much going around. She's uh just like falling apart, you know what I mean? It's crazy.

SPEAKER_06 2:42

Like he's never there, and then when he does take time off, like he'll be like, I'm gonna go play golf, or he sounds like a jerk.

SPEAKER_03 2:50

He does, to be honest with you. I'm telling you, it's like it's like she's trying to tell him something, and they're on a show, and he's like, Okay, yeah, yeah, you got my attention. That's cool. Okay, okay, Rula, you're cool, brew. Oh, yeah. So, oh sorry, you're talking?

SPEAKER_06 3:06

So I thought Joe Allen seemed pretty normal in this scene. Not that I'm not saying she's not normal, I'm just saying she seemed like nice. Like she was listening to her.

SPEAKER_03 3:18

Yes, but the thing is is that that's the the gold about her, is that she can do the nice, and then she she's again, you want her to be in the middle of these fights because she's the one that's gonna bring it. That's my opinion. You know, like sorry, I know you I know you didn't care for her too much, like you know, at first.

SPEAKER_06 3:37

Well, I just don't like snobby people, but I get it. I I I there's a difference, like there's people who are snobby in like a more palatable way, like a Rachel Zoe. Like she flexes a lot, but it's never off-putting to me.

SPEAKER_03 3:54

Right.

SPEAKER_06 3:54

She doesn't put other people down over stuff like that.

SPEAKER_03 3:57

If you I don't know if you gave her credit for this, but then when she was making Rosie cry in episode one, she did be like, okay, I'm sorry. Let's let's start all over. Like, what'd you think about that scene, if you don't mind me asking?

SPEAKER_06 4:12

I thought she's just trying to it doesn't seem like she gives a fuck what people think.

SPEAKER_03 4:18

That I felt that that was a moment where it's like, okay, maybe she realized at that moment it's like, okay, maybe I went too far. Let's uh let's let's just try again.

SPEAKER_06 4:27

I thought it was a little more self-serving. You thought a little bit, but anyway, point is she seemed pretty normal in this scene. And I will say when I watched the after show, I thought her and the pairing of her and Alicia was a delight.

unknown 4:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 4:45

Like they were making me laugh. So anyway, uh, so there's that scene, and then we have Liz and Kelsey meet up at this restaurant, and then this is where we get the introduction of Rola. Kelsey describes her as like monotone but very put together. And then so she gets there, and she asks Liz what she did for Fourth of July, and Liz is like, Oh, well, Joe Allen had a party, and uh she's kind of like, you know, that type, like, well, I don't know why you hang out with someone who goes around talking shit about me, pretty much.

SPEAKER_03 5:23

I you know, obviously the origin story about this whole thing is we'll get to that, you know, we'll get to it, but it's just to me, it's like I okay, I'll explain myself then. So that's why.

SPEAKER_06 5:31

Liz is like, I have your back, don't worry. And then Liz says if anything was going on in her marriage, she probably wouldn't say it because she has like a lot of pride, and you know.

SPEAKER_03 5:45

Yep, that's it right there.

SPEAKER_06 5:46

And then we see the pictures of like how dumb are you as someone who's trying to have an affair be okay with taking a picture like that with the mistress.

SPEAKER_03 5:58

I mean, you idiot. Like, what at what point do you think this is not gonna somehow, some way get into the wrong hands? You dumbass. Like, it's just so dumb. It's stupid. It really is. Like, I was I just like I don't know. I would never do my mistress. I'm all taking notes. It's like, what an idiot. This guy's sloppy. I'm just kidding. No, I'm just playing. It was that was from uh what's it called? Uh it's from a comedian that I listen to. But anyways, no, but for real, like let's be let's be honest about it. It's like to me, it's like it's cocky, it's awful, you know what I mean? And it's just like, you know, who are you?

SPEAKER_06 6:36

So yeah, so she's like, well, that was a thing back then, and now it's over and things are good. And Liz is like, no, sure, sure it is. Okay, it's ongoing, and you know it. She's her sentiment is what I just said, like, cut the pride.

SPEAKER_02 6:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 6:53

And Rula shoots back with like, Well, you and Jerry have been through your indiscretions and you worked it out. And then in a in a confessional, she Rula insinuates like Liz messes around when he's gone. Like, she was pretty much like, Oh, when he goes on his long fishing trips.

SPEAKER_02 7:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 7:14

What you know what they say, when the mouse is away, wait, when the cat's away, the mice will play. Yeah. Like straight just throwing Liz, like making us think, oh shoot, Liz. To be honest though, here's and there's some weirdness on that too.

SPEAKER_03 7:31

Yeah, that that little, you know, explanation about her her friend that no one really understands their friendship. I didn't buy that one for one fucking second. At all. Like it's like it just when you have to say, oh, we have if you have to explain your friendship, it not a good good not a good thing.

SPEAKER_06 7:51

Did you know like that? Just a random weird thing. That guy that they were talking about, Dino. I seen this video. Dino, that's like the close friend.

SPEAKER_03 8:01

Oh, sure. Yeah. Uh-huh. Uh huh.

SPEAKER_06 8:03

He has a baby with the same chick that Aaron Hernandez had a baby with.

SPEAKER_01 8:09

Oh gosh.

SPEAKER_06 8:10

Fun fact.

SPEAKER_01 8:13

Jesus.

SPEAKER_06 8:14

Okay. All right, so Liz's reaction in her face was like, you bitch bringing up my shit. And then um she's like, I get it. You're protecting the image for the kids. And then this is where Rula, oh my, talk about foot in your mouth. She's like, Well, when you produce kids with someone, it's a game changer. And she's like, and I know Jerry has kids, and like, you know what I mean? And then it triggers Liz, like, oh, so you're saying raising them since they were little like is different than because you produce them. Like, it it's you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 8:56

And then she immediately freaking I'm not sure. I didn't mean it like that.

SPEAKER_06 9:01

I didn't mean it. Like, no disrespect, no disrespect, and it's too late. Liz will be forever mad about this.

SPEAKER_03 9:07

She will fucking rightly so. This will she will murder you at one point because of this. To be honest, you know, but honestly, like, how dare you? You know what I mean? Like, honestly, there's a a lot of uh of stepmoms that are out there and stepdads, let's give them love too, you know, that where you know the other parent is like a piece of shit and they're unfit, they obviously are not around for a reason, you know, and thank God for those people because then that child would be just with a single single parent family. You know what I mean? It's like give them give them some some credit, you know what I mean? So it's like, yeah, fuck that. That was bullshit. That was a good thing.

SPEAKER_06 9:52

She's trying to like kind of take it back, like, I didn't mean like that. I didn't mean like that. And then they just decide to move on, but I know Liz is gonna be salty.

SPEAKER_03 9:59

Well, she even said that, yeah, that that she it did bother her, so yeah.

SPEAKER_06 10:04

So we're now we're at Kelsey's. She's just like Rosie, where they don't have to drink expensive wine because she's drinking Whispering Angel, which is like a$12 bottle of wine. I've had to buy it for people.

SPEAKER_00 10:16

What did she call it before? Um, was it like stripper juice?

unknown 10:21

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 10:21

I thought that was the funniest shit.

SPEAKER_06 10:23

So Alicia comes over, and even Kelsey, and this is what I have said before. I'm like, Alicia for sure is like the most has the biggest accent and all that. And Kelsey says that, like, oh yeah, she's the most like Rhode Island, she has the craziest accent. And we find out she doesn't like to drive on highways, and she's so nonchalantly, like, yeah, you know, I don't like I I've gone in accidents, I ran over a woman.

SPEAKER_00 10:50

Oh I know. I was like, Well, wait, wait, I was like, rewind that? What did you just say?

SPEAKER_06 10:54

So even the producer is like, You ran over a woman? She's like, Yeah, like, and then I seen a better explanation, and like she posted a video kind of talking about it, and it was like a cra well, you don't say crazy lady, but probably someone on drugs or something, and then they she she was only going like 15 miles an hour, and the lady like leaped in front of her car, and she didn't know if she was like trying to end it all or trying to get money. Like well, no, I mean I believe what she's saying. Like, why is she gonna be like she would have got vehicle vehicular manslaughter?

SPEAKER_03 11:28

Like to me, it's like that just reminds me of the office when they're when uh when Jim was talking about uh about uh uh what's it called? Um everything okay?

SPEAKER_06 11:40

Oh, I smell a skunk. We have skunks.

SPEAKER_03 11:43

I was like, oh anyways, well, Michael Scott obviously hit one of his employees, you know, and then he remembered Michael Scott saying at one point that there was a speed bump on the highway, and he said, I wonder who he hit then. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 11:58

So the girls are going to a vineyard. Uh they're kind of making fun of Ashley's outfish. It looks like uh like a Renaissance outfit or something. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 12:09

I to me it's like leave the girl leave the poor girl alone. You know what I mean? It's like let her try to fit in, you know, leave her alone.

SPEAKER_06 12:18

They get on a little party bus, and then they I'm sorry, Alicia, call her dumb. I think she's so funny with her like just Oh my god. She's saying like, what did she say? Something's like heroin.

SPEAKER_03 12:34

Um oh, like breaking bad. Is this where they they make the heroin?

SPEAKER_06 12:38

And it's like, oh, in the big chamber the well, I don't even know what you call those. The wine whatever.

SPEAKER_03 12:45

But it's like, oh god, it's it's come on, dude. I it's like I get it. Like, maybe if you didn't watch the TV show, but she knew Breaking Bad is.

SPEAKER_06 12:56

But it wasn't even just lighting up, though. It's funny, like it's comedic relief. Literally, they're like, she's like, oh, that looks like poison ivy, and they're they're like, or she's like, or it's tomatoes. Are those tomatoes? I was like, oh. And then they're like, it's grapes. We're at a vineyard.

SPEAKER_03 13:11

I mean, but here's the thing. What I will give you.

SPEAKER_06 13:14

Leave that alone.

SPEAKER_00 13:15

I swear you're not what I will give her is at least tomatoes grow on vines, at the minimum. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 13:24

So it's like, okay, I will give you that. But yeah, no. I'm not saying here's the thing.

SPEAKER_05 13:30

Like, I just this is a fun show. Let's not be so cynical on this one.

SPEAKER_03 13:35

Understood, and she is dumb as nails for sure, but I will agree she is funny because of those comments.

SPEAKER_06 13:42

Yes. Kelsey talks to Joe Allen, tells her that Rula's coming, and then Jo Allen's like not happy about this, and then we find out that you know, like the mistress was the one that posted it. She just saved it or whatever, and then showed other people. And then she said that whatever Rula wanted her to send it to her.

SPEAKER_03 14:08

Yeah, because she said woman to woman, like, send me the pictures. At that point, it's like you cannot be mad at Joellen at that point. If you're so desperado to, you know, like to see these pictures, you know. If you're asking her woman to woman, please send me these pictures, you know, whatever. At that point, how is it her fault? Why are you mad at her? You wanted it, she all she has is the pictures. She's not spreading it around town, you know what I mean? You asked for it, you got it.

SPEAKER_06 14:40

Well, she was spreading it around town. She just she didn't go to her directly and show she showed it around town first, is what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_03 14:50

I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 14:51

I just to me she wasn't her friend anyway.

SPEAKER_03 14:53

It was just like gossipy things, and that's her her reputation precedes her, so I still feel that Rula doesn't need she like she's right, she's mad at the wrong person, pretty much. Like, be mad at your fucking shitty ass husband.

SPEAKER_06 15:08

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:09

Right? And let's be honest.

SPEAKER_06 15:10

No, I know. I'm just saying, like, she still went around and gossiped.

SPEAKER_03 15:15

Fair to say. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 15:16

Okay, so Rula FaceTime says she can't go, probably for the best. I love how on the FaceTime, Joelan got up and was in the background of it and just like got her box and like threw it.

SPEAKER_03 15:28

Yeah. But the thing is like, Rula, bad start, girl. Like, you know, it's like no matter what, I know, yeah, I understand that Joelan is a whole lot, you know. But the thing is that girl, you A, you I mean, I don't know if it's her fault or if it's the producer's fault, but you're already starting on episode two, and you already you showed up for one fucking thing, one dumb luncheon, and then you go to a major you miss a major thing because you just can't take it because no one's gonna believe your shit. You're not sick, you know what I mean? Let's be honest.

SPEAKER_06 16:01

And then the episode ends with they have this like whatever box where you answer some like a question.

SPEAKER_04 16:09

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 16:10

So like Ashley's was easy, it was like, oh, when'd you lose your virginity? And 29, whatever. And then um, Joe Allen, are you a swinger? She says, No. And then um Rosie's was like, Did you have an affair with a coach? Oh, yeah. She's like, no.

SPEAKER_03 16:30

And this is where they were talking about Liz's thing, right? Wasn't this the moment?

SPEAKER_06 16:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 16:37

It was Alicia who wrote the question to Liz, like, oh, what do you like, what do you say about the rumor about you and whatever his name is, yeah. Dino.

SPEAKER_03 16:48

Yeah, Dino, uh-huh.

SPEAKER_06 16:49

And then, but she, it's like everyone answered their questions, right? It kind of annoyed me. Oh, by the way, Alicia and her like affinity for crackers and fig newtons. I'm telling you, she's a delight. Who eats fig newtons? Um, when is the last time you ate a fig newton?

SPEAKER_03 17:12

Yesterday. Yeah, right. I'm just kidding. Um, no, I actually don't mind fig newtons. I don't either.

SPEAKER_06 17:18

They're fine, but I wouldn't go buy them.

SPEAKER_03 17:20

But here's the thing: I wasn't big on the fig newtons. Like, it's like those were okay, but it was more about the other newtons. Like they had other fillings. Okay, then those were.

SPEAKER_06 17:31

I'm talking about fig newtons. She wanted the fig, which is gross.

SPEAKER_03 17:36

But uh, but yeah. And then the crackers, uh, those weren't saltines, at least from outside, those look, those all look like freaking wheat tins.

SPEAKER_06 17:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 17:45

Which don't get me wrong, wheat-thins are great.

SPEAKER_06 17:47

We digress. Liz it seems a little triggered, and her her like explanation felt like I don't know. Too much explanation. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:00

It's weird, you know, and that's the thing. I don't, I'm sorry, like Liz, I really like Liz, but the thing is that I didn't believe that shit for one fucking second at all. Yeah, you know what I mean? And yeah, it's just like, I don't know, like, you know, you're starting off with uh, oh, he's a little brother, and then the the moment you go beyond that, that's where it's like, okay, now it's becoming less and less believable because then she's talking about like no one understood our friendship, and you know, whatever. It's like, mmm, okay, like something happened, and it probably still is happening. Yeah, let's be honest, you know.

SPEAKER_06 18:37

Who knows? Rula seems to know a thing or two. I'm certain Joe Allen probably knows something since she's like the town gossip.

SPEAKER_03 18:45

Yeah. Um, guaranteed, uh Rula needs to shape up as is already as it is. I don't even know the damn lady. I don't like her already. Because it's like you need you're at this is your fucking job. A, you're already late, you know, because you're on episode two, and b, you're missing the big thing, like the big, you know, whatever. Like, come on, fuck off. You know, it sounds like you need to, like, you know, it's like you can't take the heat. It's like, come on. At least, you know, like Ashley's there. You know, she definitely couldn't take there's no heat on her, but still, you know what I mean? She's there. I don't know. That's just me.

SPEAKER_06 19:23

All right. Well, it is time for our Hero and Zero!

SPEAKER_04 19:30

Hero and Zero!

SPEAKER_06 19:32

All right, who do you got?

SPEAKER_03 19:34

My hero, Alicia. I'm just kidding. I know that that has to be yours, but anyways, uh, no, no, no, no. Um, uh definitely Joelin. I'm telling you right now, she is she is the one to watch on this show. Everyone needs to be they everyone, it says it's all on the on the wall. Everyone wants to be on her good graces, because yeah, she'll rip their throats out, but you know, whatever. They all want to they they all want to be on her good side because they want to be a part of her. So let's be honest about it. Zero uh rula, who are you? You're not you're supposed to be here, and you're not. So, and then you done like you don't make not you don't make fun of, but you don't poke anything at step parents. That's not cool. Am I right? All right, you know, let's be real. Um, who'd you pick?

SPEAKER_06 20:26

Hero, obviously Alicia. Imagine all the she wasn't even on my radar episode one, and this second episode completely changed. Like, I literally thought she was the most forgettable person on the first episode, besides the fact she has like fun, quirky ants.

SPEAKER_00 20:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 20:43

Um, other than that, didn't really see much of her, and this time we really got to see her like quirkiness, and I dig it.

SPEAKER_03 20:53

And I think it helped that you watch the after show. Would you agree? Not you just told me that that you that she was sustained.

SPEAKER_06 21:02

Yeah, but she was equally, if not more, of a delight on the episode. Like I just named a bunch of like stuff that I was like, that was so funny.

SPEAKER_02 21:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 21:11

So no, it didn't take the after show, but that could uh enhanced it for sure. Um and then zero, I just have to go with Rula to do better, be better. Right. Jury's out, it's not looking good. It really isn't. But that is it. Thank you for listening. Be sure you always check in on these ever-developing episodes. You can see, you know, if just I I don't know what's in store and I I'm not gonna look back, but I sometimes I don't like watching those this season on Rhode Island. Like I feel like it spoils everything.

SPEAKER_03 21:52

Oh, yeah, no, I get you. Uh to be honest with you, a lot of times I don't even watch um uh in next episode, you know, or whatever. I don't Any show uh anymore for the most part.

SPEAKER_06 22:02

I don't want to be spoiled. I wanna I wanna just see how it plays out.

SPEAKER_03 22:06

So especially like Bachelor, Bachelor Nation, right?

SPEAKER_06 22:09

Yeah, because then you'll see certain people like in a tropical place. Oh cool. So we know that's free, like what?

SPEAKER_03 22:17

Yeah, that's that's the worst in my opinion. Yeah. So, anyways, dude, easily the best show on Bravo at this current moment. I if you asked me a year ago, uh uh I would have said the valley, the original valley, you know, easily. Now, sorry, step aside, Rhode Island is here to stay. Anyways, well, that is it for our episode. So we thank you, love you, and see ya.

SPEAKER_02 22:43

Bye. Thank you.

SPEAKER_04 22:54
