Drama, Darling Drama, Darling.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Drama, Darling, Hello, Darling, welcome in. We're doing Love Hotel, Emily, Hi,
welcome in, Welcome in, Hey, Hi.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Welcome in.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
You ready to do a little Love Hotel with me?

Speaker 3 (00:33):
I'm ready and I'm I'm I'm glad that we are
both checking out.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Oh yes, you know. I actually felt like there were
too many episodes. Remember, like three episodes ago, maybe even four.
I was like, is next week the finale? Is next
week the finale? And it wasn't. I was like, how
many episodes are there? I feel like they could have
cut it by two episodes because as much as I

(00:57):
loved it, and I know you loved it too, right.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yeah, yeah, I want more of another season.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
You're like, I wanted there to be eighteen and a reunion.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
No, I need I do. I do want more Love Island.
I'm almost there.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
I needed less Love Hotel, but one more.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
But what about love is blind?

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Love is blind? I can't want I can't do it,
but I would have. I would have taken one more
crappy lake for one less Love Hotel.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
That's where I am.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
That math is as they say, mathing.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Oh we're so cool and we're so cool. I'm so cool, darlings. Yeah,
I mean, I don't know. It's just like they just
kind of they shouldn't. They didn't need to bring Mitch back.
I'm sorry. They didn't need to bring Mark back. Mitch
didn't really need to be there. But I understand why
they what they decided to do that, and.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
I think that I get why they brought more.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
If I was producer, I would have thought bringing Mark
back was a good idea only because it gave thought
it would be an added tention for Lou, but it
ended up not being anything, right.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
She just left him for that anyway. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, and even if it was, if it was something,
I don't think it would have been more than ten
minutes of an edit.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Like I just yeah, it was just nothing. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
And by the way, Lou, she was on Watch It
Happens Live last night and we found out that James
gave her that little key necklace, which was adorable, and
that paradol ring was not from James. She was like,
it's from another suitor, which I'm guessing is the man
that she's dating now that we saw the article about.
And she's dating that man in the Hampton's or something like.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
That, right, and then she's like, I read that. I
didn't see the episode, but I read that. She said
James is so great because he says, you're in New York,
you date who you want to date, and when we're together,
we're together.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
That's my low impression.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Over there.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Oh my James.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Hey wait that scene with them at like their last dinner.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
You know, oh my god?

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Okay, so yes, when they're talking and their vases are
jacked up, She's like, darling, I can't even speak of
caperaine like pepsin all night long.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
They're like whistling from their throats. It's like, because his
is real high pitch, it's a kissing.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
I'm doing him. His voice is too low. I can't.
I mean, I'm making his voice way too low. What
was it like?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
This doesn't matter, it sounds. Earl's like, no, the hurricane's
coming here. He's got PTSD, poor Earl. James is just
talking and he's like, oh, Shannon, what did you do?
My middle name is Storms.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
I can't help it.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
I didn't bring a storm. He probably thinks that she
did it if he was like a you know, one
of those guys who believes in you know, I don't know, ladies.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
If he was superstitious, that's the word. A storm has
never hit my house, Shannon. And then I did this
show and what is your middle name?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:22):
And walk, I mean to to same storm, two houses.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Same storm, two houses, same storm, one lady.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Two storms, one cop, Shannon. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I also so I got a d M that somebody
that Earl was like staying at Shannon's house because both
houses were there was destruction, So this is allegedly he
was staying at her house. And like, pretty much like
over state is welcome.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
That checks out, I mean doesn't literally because he won't
check out. But they didn't check out.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
They checked out together, but I can see Earl and
Shannon not communicating, and then that getting real tense and
blowing out and then they're just friends.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, or not at all, because that's the last straw,
by the way, when they checked out together. And they
get to the point at the very end and Joel's like, okay,
so what do you say? It's like, Wow, this is real, real,
full of charisma and energy. We're waiting for this all season.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
And and and so Shannon and Earl are sitting there,
and she's like, I, it's it's it's funny. It's a
funny thing, Earl. I the girls told me that when
when they see me talking about you, that that my
face lights up. And but when when they when they they,
but then when I start talking about all the ups

(06:02):
and downs, I look like horror, stuck struck my face, horror, horrific.
A nightmare has come over me. And and and I've
become possessed in the devil, and and and it's will
you leave? Will you check out the Love Hotel with me?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Earl?

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Alrighty okay, that was beautiful.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
No, no more, that was beautiful poetry, Shannon, those are
your vowels, that's your What was that your lies?

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Shnor?

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah? Awful her eulogy? What was that thing with did
with David?

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah? Yeah, their marriage counseling weekend.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Well now you got your speech for Earl's weekend.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Earl's weekend at Shannon's before he gets booted. Yikes. Oh,
speaking of other dms, I got another DM from someone
that said that they matched with Ralph on bumble. Oh yeah,
how about that?

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Did they go out with him?

Speaker 2 (07:17):
No, they did not go out, but they did match.
So that's fun.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
That was I know we're skipping to the end, but like,
what the fuck THEO? He just lost his phone and
never he goes basically did he ghost Gazelle?

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh my god, that was crazy, Janey, it was crazy crazy.
I did not expect that, and I didn't that after
all of that with Gizelle, her whole journey, which, by
the way you called it in the beginning, she should
absolutely be the host of this show hands down.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, because I was like, oh, Luanne should do it,
and I think we did around about how she would
just steal all the men and stuff like that, she'd
be too flirtatious. But no, Giselle. I mean, she's been
great from the beginning. But even with the way that
she was dealing with THEO and Philip, she was dealing
them with them like she was Doel Kim Booster. You know. Yeah, yeah,

(08:17):
for sure, she handled the Earl.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
She fixed Shannon and Earl when when Earle.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
When when the episode opened, she was like, now, hold
on a second, she fixed me because I was like,
you know, when we last spoke about this, Amy, I
was like, I think she hadn't really overreacted Earl's going
through something, and I compared it to like how crazy
things were with the LA fires and how nobody knew
we were all getting checked in by loved ones or whatever,

(08:45):
and that was very important. And then Gizelle straightened my
ass out right on that couch.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
She will straighten everyone's ass out, whether you see it
coming or not. And I mean, I feel like, on
if she straightens out my ass, I'll be like, thank you, ma'am.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
You know yeah, And she says she still wants to
raise kids.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
I mean, Hia, that was wild because she it was
really sweet to hear her say, you know, she has
in her heart she really does want to have, you know,
a connection with children again. And I thought that was
so sweet again meaning in addition to her own, which
I just and you know, but I wanted before I

(09:27):
forget what I was going to say about ma'am when
I was like, yes, ma'am about Gazelle, Jilele saying yes
ma'am to Gizelle like a million times over is just
so awkward, and they just never had a chance. I
just wish that Ashley would have caught him off a
long time ago, because it just I felt so bad
for him because it was so awkward. He he even
in that hot tub at the very end of their

(09:49):
last date. It was like, She's like, I just need
more passion. It's like, well, how do I How can
I give you passion after you tell me you need passion? Like,
how was that supposed to happen?

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Well, I agree with you.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
However, I thought after I was like, oh man, that's
one of those moments where you say you want it
and then the other person has to then awkwardly make
that happen in the moment, And I thought that's while
I handled it. I thought that he's like, here's you
want your passion, here's your.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Path, Like, I agree, I agree.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah, he could have said that a lot of different
ways that would have made me cringe. But he hit
the exact note I needed to hear. It was the
note that whistles out of James's throat.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
No, it is the.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Exact note I needed to hear him hit with it.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
I was amazing, cute. Yeah, I completely agree with you,
But he the passion that he does have, that he
that she's never really gotten to see because she's kind
of kept him and she kept baby in the corner.
You know, she dirty danced him.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
She did, but she doesn't want kids with him.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
And I think I should have let go, and I
guess it's for the show. And I'm kind of like,
I really like Wale, so I enjoyed seeing him week
to week. So perhaps that was just like they do
on The Bachelor, Bachelor and the Bachelorette. They keep people
on way longer than they should because they know that
they're fan favorites. And I think Wallet was a fan favorite.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
I agree because you know who doesn't do that, Traders
And it drives me nuts. They get out the people
I am most excited to watch right away.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Pepper da Yeah, pep was it Peppermint? It was peppermint, peppermint?

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Dirnda yeah all yeah again. So
they do that and they and the UK should one
forget it. It's like the most charismatic goes first. And
so I appreciated Walle staying yeah, but you're right.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
I mean clearly.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Ashley Legit liked him because they're still texting and kind
of flirting.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oh yeah, what did those texts say? Because I couldn't
leave that far.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
He Well, you were in the pant weren't you cleaning
out your pantry. Oh yeah earlier.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
No, I actually watched the the like the middle to
the end last night in bed, so I was watching
on my TV, and then when I rewatched it today
from the beginning. I was cleaning out my pantry while
I was watching it on my computer. So what did
the text say?

Speaker 3 (12:23):
It was basically like, I think him asking about Diamond
and whatever her tits are. Diamond, God, forget that name, darlings.
I know you're screaming. Then please let us remind me anyway.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Diamond, you're thinking about diamond and Rose. You're thinking about
vander Palm's ponies rip Rose.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Remember she named her diamonds diamonds.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
But is one of them named diamonds?

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Diamond and Dena.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Okay, no, that's hilarious, but no, that's the name. That's
one of the options for my titties that like diamond.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
And wait, this is my text to you. Am I
thinking when I sexted you.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Bob name of Ashley Darby's boobs? They all have names.
You're You're not wrong about that? And oh my god,
you are so right. It's Demi and Diamond. Oh Demi, Okay, wow, okay,

(13:27):
I am really impressed.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Well, I just read his text, so that's don't be
too impressed.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Okay, okay, but.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Trust me, ask me in a week and I will
be like, she named her boobs, Like there are just
some bravo things that I can't retain and that I think,
but one of them is first.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Okay, you know that she's not the first to name
her boobs, right.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Uh yeah, and guess okay, Trivia, ask me who else
did who else? No fucking idea, Amy, Let's move on.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Okay, Portia. I uh oh, okay, you're all.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Right, yeah yeah, no, but now keep going because.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Wenday is forte yeah, Wendy. Right, it's all coming back.
Got into my head. I couldn't tell you any of the.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Names, but I love I like naming mine. Mine are
going to be named Diamonds and Denham, just so everybody knows.
That's what we're going to land on. And thank you
to everybody who submitted ideas. And I should go back
to that list a while back, a while back. So
we're gonna land on Diamonds and Denham, and so thank
you for bringing that back. I appreciate that. On that note,

(14:35):
why don't we just take a quick break. I wish
it was a braw commercial for Honeylove. But mm hmm, okay, everybody,
we are back talking Love Hotel. But finale, I am

(14:56):
with the fabulous Emily Jersis and you are so welcome.
You're so welcome. Wow, we've been I love how we've
been bouncing around. But when Luanne chooses James and they
check out and they're just like canoodling on the couch

(15:19):
like a couple of middle school kids, you know, And
he's like, well, here, well you do James's whistle voice,
tell I hear. And then she's like, Darling, just go
to the Countess Lwin dot com.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Get that plug in.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
I loved it. That was so so funny. Well, let's
circle back to Giselle because even though she's not the
host of the show this season, hopefully she will be
next season. But she brings both THEO and Phil to
the couch and is like, fel we're in different moments
in our lives. You are on chill mode and I'm

(16:03):
hustling and bustling and grinding and I'm not checking out
with you. And he's like, indeed, Madam, I'm going to
go back to my house behind the gates in Malibu.
And what was the other thing we were joking about
last week that he talks about. Oh, yeah, I'm going
to go up to the house of the house.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah, And he's like, Oh, I happen to just know
Mike in Cynthia.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
I know Karen really well. I know Wendy really well.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Robin your best friend. She James had me on read
when you were out that week, she had me guest host.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
I'm doing tras podcast again.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Also, I love really oddly, really oddly renovated homes.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Did I hear this right?

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Is the new Love Hotel going to have Sandobal and like, dudes,
are they flipping it?

Speaker 1 (17:14):
And they're going to have like guys there.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Oh, the next season I think is like for Bravo
guys with ladies.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Oh my gosh, that's so smart to just do. I
was thinking they would always do like hotels always do housewives.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
I think I would prefer that because what's the different?
I mean, like, what are we going to watch Sandibal
love bomb a bunch of people?

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, I'm up for that. Are you kidding? Absolutely? Oh,
I've just heard this.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
I'm just double checking before I say off.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Okay, I'll listen to this. Yes, for Castle might singing
terrible singing. Yeah, no that I mean we saw him
on Traders he killed it.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
I can't find the article I saw that, So I was.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Probably one of those those those fake my.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Favor dream, my favorite dream.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah, if you had a dream about it. No, but
if they did do that, I think that's such a
great idea. This show could last forever. I mean, it
is like The Bachelor. I mean, now I understand what
it is. It's the Bachelor for Bravo, duh.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Or reality Stars because theyve guy.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
I do think they need to expand it.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
From just because it's just it's peacock. It's not on Bravo.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Well only because like, we only not have those I know,
we only have so much, you know, so many people
in the U Bravo verse to go through before it's like, wait,
we need you to actually be in a relationship with
someone that's on your show, so we have that tension.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
We're going to take a quick break, darlings. When I
tell you about dupe dot com, I am not kidding you.

not happening. So when I go to the website of
the product that I really really want, that's like on
the vision board, on the Pinterest board, whatever, and I

All right, we are back. What did you think about

(22:58):
Wala writing Ashley and note when she broke up with
him in the end.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
I thought that was very sweet, and I also realized
that somewhere off camera she tipped him off and I
appreciated that.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Oh good point.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
Yeah, so she must have said, hey, i'm I have
to tell you on camera so you're not surprised and
it's not weird for you.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
I just want to tell you no respect.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Great point. I didn't even think about that. I love that.
I'm less he.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Had two notes one taking him I one for if not.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Or just the one note, and he wouldn't have given
it to her, had he picked her?

Speaker 1 (23:43):
What if he read him or what.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
If he was like, I'm not checking out with you?
And that was he was ready no matter what.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yeah, he was wait about the night before when she
tells Ralph that like, oh, he didn't spend the night.
We just cuddled and he left in the do that
flashback and he's like leaving with his suitcase. That was sad.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, yeah, but I got it.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Of course it made so much sense, but like, I
don't I almost felt like him leaving with his suitcase
was just a little bit of a dash of humiliation
that we could have left out for Wala. I mean,
it was just like the dead of night. It's his
silhouette and you know, when you're trying to leave a
hotel room with your rolling suitcase, what a shit show
that always is. Yeah, I mean maybe it's different for Wala,

(24:31):
but you know, you're like you can't quite get the
door open, and he's just like trying to get out.
He just he brought it there to like just in case,
and now he's gottah. We had to see that. That
wasn't right, that wasn't right.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Meanwhile, Shannon's up there getting earled out or something.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
I don't know what was going on.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Out oh oh earled out?

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yeah, Earl found that pearl?

Speaker 1 (25:02):
All right, yeah, mad.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Oyster gross you guys, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
I apologize. Just know that's what it is. Yeah yeah, yeah,
oh wait, yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
I liked that they were all kind of within ear
or eyeshot of each other and we're all kind of
observing on various towers.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
That was kind of cool too.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yes, when Ashley is being consoled by Joel and she's
like okay, oh no, Ralph is coming okay, okay, and
she's like, how do I look? I have to pull
it together and she's like totally crying. Then she's like, hi,
like she welcomed him and welcomed him.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Oh yeah, I want to happen there too.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
With Ralph, I really like that had to be Ashley
just being like yeah, nah, not for me, because he
would have gone he.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Knew he was out of his leave with Ashley.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yeah, oh my god. When Walle was like, ah, I
did a little googling, saw your husband? Gullum.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
I don't think I had a chance this whole time.
Glad I didn't google sooner. How's the divorce? She's like, yeah,
I'm actually been waiting for you to ask me that.
And also, it's like, Ashley, these men don't know you.
They don't watch the Housewives, they don't know your sexual orientation.
Stop assuming that everybody knows.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Yeah, I think too, Like I yeah, I would be
so confused as to where to start. But I do
think that Bet is safe that these guys really don't
know you, and even if they do, they're going to
assume it's bullshit until you tell them.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
They're gonna see It's like rumors and nastiness, et cetera.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
James is like, I just.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Ya yai.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Well, uh okay, what else is there anything else?

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Well?

Speaker 3 (27:32):
I still have no idea what kicked off the Joel
Camp Kim Booster whatever. I really thought leaving the last episode,
we were going to see Shannon livid from the Earl
situation going in and this this episode would have ended
in such a way that would have her rolling into

(27:55):
that after party cracking heads.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
But she seems to be in good spirits.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
I'm here to crack heads. I'm going to crack some heads.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
I mean the way he was Joe Kim Booster went
off on her. I was like, WHOA, what happened at
that after party?

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah? And I could kind of want to know, does
anybody know?

Speaker 1 (28:18):
I mean yeah, I mean we know the broad strokes.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
It was something about how she was treating his friend, right.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
But we don't actually know what really kicked it off.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
And now I know even less because you would think
she would be in a pleasant mood, especially after horseback
riding with Earl and not doing a fucking fun photo
bomb with him.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
I grew up on horses. I grew up on boats.
I grew up on horses. I grew up cracking heads.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
I grew up on a horse boat. She couldn't wait
to say that she grew up on horses.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
She she really never has there ever been a minute
when there's been a horse or a horse is brought
up in the history of Housewives where she hasn't said
I grew up with horses. It is so true.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Even when she's on a horse, she's like,
is that Joe?

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Is that Joe?

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Joe?

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Really? I'm actually wondering if the answer is out there
Shannon Badore and Joel Kim Booster, if like there is
somebody knows on Reddit.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
I feel like I also want to say, whatever went down,
kudos to the guys on the show who don't know
anything about how to handle this for not speaking out
on it.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Oh yeah, they all could.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Have, including Earl. Yeah they knew.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
I mean, they didn't come to Shannon's defense, but they
also weren't spilling tea either, and they all could have.
And I mean we know that the gals all rallied
around Shannon.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yeah, but I wasn't. Even when when I talked to
her on this show, I was like, what do you
think about that? She's like, well, Darling, I mean, just
wasn't very becoming of him to do that? And yeah, yeah, because.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
They are putting their fucking pure asses out there at
these gals and they don't need to be torn down
by the host's I love Joel Kim Booster, but I
just yeah, it was just so weird, and I was
hoping to have more clarity by this point.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
I can't believe that it hasn't really come out. I'm
just it's pretty shocking. Also, it was entertaining that a
host that's hosting four housewives just went full housewife. Yes,
like there's something to be said about like, you know,
being around those kinds of people, you know, birds of

(31:01):
a feather flock together. Maybe he just somehow got his
body was taken over by a housewife for that.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yeah, he's like, this is this literally the finale party
and we have not had a blowout and we need
it in this right.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Yeah, Well, I guess we'll never know. I mean, I'm
even trying to scan Reddit right now. Can't even uh,
can't even find anything. So well, if anybody does know,
sliding to my DMS meet Amy Phillips, thank you very much.
I feel like the Darling Show on Instagram, you feel like, well, now.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
I feel like eventually we'll know, because like he's got
a right he's going to have a book deal in
him soon that that's going to expose, like we'll find out.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
You're talking about Earl right, Okay, yeah, the difference between
lake boats and ocean boats. I mean, I'm sure that
would actually be a very helpful book to a lot
of people of the of the Waters. Did we talk
about how Fio like made that rubber duck that fondn't

(32:05):
rubber duck? And the cake?

Speaker 3 (32:07):
We didn't, But I'm so pissed about that last title card,
saying that he possibly ghosted Giselle that I don't give
two shits about that duck cake.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
That duck cake can go fucking fucking duck that's disgusting. Wait,
the only passed was so weird.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
The only even if it was like the kind of
thing where it was like, oh, he got back and
his kids were like, Dad, we didn't know you were
going to do this, Why did you do this? Or
his ex was like, hey, our kids didn't asked to
be a part of this, like they don't want to,
and so like even if there was that, then just
say they went their separate.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Ways, you know what I mean, like my phone Like
that was weird.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
He said that, like right, but they wouldn't upseid that
if he gave them anything to say or Gizzlle, I
mean they both signed off.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
I think on he lost his phone, I e.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
He ghosted, Yeah, Gizelle probably said that you can tell
a queen g yeah, queen gee yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Yeah, like gorgeous yeah, Queen g yeeah.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
And then also one more thing, did we talk about
Luanne wanting to keep her lifestyle?

Speaker 3 (33:25):
That was in oh yeah, when she was like I
want to be first class yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
I went my Space and I went first class.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Yeah. Yeah, I like how she horn that in there.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
That was so funny.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
I did I did hear that?

Speaker 3 (33:42):
The guys all kind of get together and hang at
Phil's house to watch the show, which is sweet.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
They like have a little viewing parties.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Well, they had to come up to the house. He
invited to come up to the house, you know, he did.
Hey guys, this on the Love Hotel thread. Hey guys,
it's Phil just behind the gates here. Thought I would
text you all and see if you wanted to come
up to the house for a viewing. I have a
theater room. We can all hang out there. I've got
some cigars, you know it. Oh yeah, Yi, I love that.

(34:15):
Ashley was like, I don't really have a type, and
like you see Michael and like realm side by that, Like, babe,
you do you really do? I mean I get what
you're saying. That it's about, you know, somebody who takes
care of their body.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Yeah. No, she has a solid type.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
Yeah, she's open to flirting with everyone.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Right, Well, well she's gonna lock it down when she's.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Gonna lock it exactly right. Well, I love that Lou.
James gave Lou a statement necklace. That was fabulous, great
to see.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Just for Lou. I mean, that is a Lou necklace.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
It sure is. She loved it. He knows her, he
really does. And uh, did we talk Did we talk
about Shannon and Earle like and their conversation? I don't
even remember.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
No, Yeah, we didn't.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
About bogging it down. Okay, but at the beginning when
they were Oh, did we talk about how like at
the very beginning they were still trying to work out
what happened last week with the hurricane.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Yeah, we didn't talk about so you and I were
talking before the show, okay, then, but I don't think
we talked about like Giselle set my ass straight. But
I don't know about like we I don't think we
talked about like Earle taking it and understanding the note.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
See, yeah, I thought that was really good of him,
because last week, you know, I was leaning more towards Shannon,
but I still really saw Earl's point about her not
going out and like not even checking a map or whatever.
But now this week, it really the pendulum swang pretty
hard solidly towards Shannon. I mean, if I was in

(36:04):
her situation. Obviously, you and I we come from you know,
we have apps on our phone about natural disasters. We're
going to be checking if it's a love one a friend.
So we're still going to hold her accountable for that regardless. However,
we now know the conversation that happened between them, which
is she said the last conversation they had was, Hey,

(36:26):
before I went to dinner, I asked you, you know
what's going on? And you said the hurricane was not
going to hit Saint Petersburg and it's going to Tallahassee
and you were fine. And then cut to him not
just ghosting her all night and then finally like just
snapping on her ass the next day. So and he
took accountability for that.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
Yeah, you know, I'm realizing now that if there had
been a pandemic right after a love Hotel, Shannon or
All would have absolutely he would have moved to California
and moved in with her, and James and Lou would
be they would absolutely live together.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
I bet they. Lou would have relocated to LA for
the pandemic.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Oh yeah, because he's in La a lot, right.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
Yeah, But I don't think that Ralph and Ashley would
have been together because she has her kids and they
live far enough away and he's got his.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Kids, so they would not have.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Like, but should a pandemic have hit right after Love Hotel,
we might be looking at a very different Shannon and
Lou right now.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
That's a great, great point. You know, when you put
COVID on top of every relationship that's just starting, you know, yes,
it really changes things.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
It fast tracks it in a way that maybe it
never should have and sometimes it's great, but it did
work out in a great way. But like, yeah, yeah,
and you know, oh my god, you know, Earl and
Shannon would have honkered down in a boat on a

(38:10):
horse boat, a horse boat. I'm ready to get earled
out now. Sorry, I'll never say that after this episode.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
E earl it out, Please earl it.
