Speaker 2 Hello and welcome to Watch What Crap Ends, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. I'm Ben Mandelker.
Joining me today is the one and only Ronnie Carom. Hi, Ronnie.

Speaker 2 How's it going?

Speaker 1 Hello, everybody.

Speaker 2 Hello, hello. We are here to talk about the season finale of Next Gen New York City.
It's a big one. A lot of loose ends are tied up and stranded in Singapore.

Speaker 2 So before we get into that, please join us on Patreon, patreon.com slash watch for crappins to do things like, you know, if you support on the crap is on demand level, you can watch us, not just listen to us.

Speaker 2 And we also have bonus episodes. We did all of Love Island on our bonus episodes.
And those will be resuming next week. So go check those out.
But today, here it is.

Speaker 2 It's the, it's one of the buzziest shows of the summer next year in New York City wrapping up. Shall we just get into it, Ronnie?

Speaker 1 Yeah, let's do it. So did you see the news going around that this was Bravo's highest premiere ever?

Speaker 2 I did not see the news going around. That's very exciting.

Speaker 1 And I don't know why they're doing this eight

Speaker 1 weeks after it premiered, but the news this week is NYC was Bravo's biggest premiere. It was like five over 5 million viewers or something.
They said the show is doing really, really well.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think I didn't, so I didn't read that article, but I feel like

Speaker 2 they probably have to wait a while because

Speaker 2 I think they have trying to get all those streaming numbers is, I think they want to get as many streaming numbers as possible.

Speaker 2 So maybe they're like, oh, over the course of the season, this many people watched the first episode because people may have watched the first episode four or five weeks later. So that way they can,

Speaker 2 this is my theory, which is why they wait so long to announce that kind of stuff because then they can say that's how many numbers it's still very cool though because it also by the way just shows that the ratings really don't don't tell the full story because like every day you go onto twitter and there's someone who's like oh next gen

Speaker 2 new york city got five viewers looks like bravo is really tanking and they just like love to relish in that and it's like yeah that's the the ratings don't count as much anymore because people are streaming it like people are not watching you know old-fashioned tv the same way anymore so it's just exciting to know that people people are actually watching these shows, despite various Twitter accounts trying to kind of like be like, bravo's over.

Speaker 2 It's like, it's not over. It's thriving.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Shut up.

Speaker 2 Shut up. I still love it.

Speaker 1 Shut up, God.

Speaker 1 Okay, so

Speaker 1 we are at the Jersey Shore.

Speaker 1 The Jersey Shore at the birthday party for Brooks. And everyone had a wild night at the casino.
And so we're waking up and getting breakfast and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 And Ariana is texting Riley and she's like, morning, I hope you're feeling better. I'm sorry for last night.
Are we okay? I love New York. I'm such a New Yorker right now.

Speaker 2 I am so New Yorky. And like, it was last night was just like, not my proudest moment.
Like, I never wanted Riley to feel like she had nobody in her corner because you know what she had in her corner?

Speaker 2 A New Yorker, a new New Yorker.

Speaker 1 That's me.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So then

Speaker 1 Riley, we see a flashback where Riley's like, yeah, I don't appreciate when my friends come into this situation and are like, I heard this one sentence.

Speaker 1 Like, let me have have whoever side I agree with. Like, have my back in public and talk to me in private.
Okay.

Speaker 1 But Ariana is like, I'm a shitty friend. I should maybe be a better friend because I love her.

Speaker 2 And then we have, we go to Gia and Christian and they are making breakfast and making lots of pancakes, which was really nice because now that Love Island USA is over, I realize I've gone through a pancake.

Speaker 2 withdrawal. So it was nice to see some Gen X, Gen Zers making pancakes again on TV.

Speaker 1 And Gia says she didn't even know how to make pancakes. And they looked, I have to say.

Speaker 2 I thought she was being sarcastic when she said that. She's like, yeah, I don't know how to make these.

Speaker 1 I'm sure she has. But that Beru.

Speaker 2 I'm telling you, when Joe Judice was

Speaker 2 the parent in that household, well, Therese was in jail. I guarantee Gia was making all those breakfasts.

Speaker 1 One thing Gia learned how to do is make some breakfast for a lot of people. Yeah.

Speaker 2 That's probably why her hand gesture is always like she's just placing a stack of pancakes. She always has her hand flopping down like these are the pancakes.

Speaker 1 It's just her intonation. I can never tell what the emotion is when she's saying something.
It's always like, yeah, I don't know how to make pancake.

Speaker 1 I don't know if that's sarcastic. She could be crying.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 I don't know the difference. So they gather around this table outside and Brooks is like, thanks everyone for making such a beautiful breakfast.

Speaker 2 I'm so proud that we've all gathered here to eat carbs for the first time. I know it's crazy, but I think we can do it.

Speaker 1 Can I make it?

Speaker 1 thank you all for being here. I love you so much.
I love that we're honest with each other.

Speaker 1 And honestly, I don't like that they call it toast because it really, it's just like a carb and we shouldn't be engaging.

Speaker 2 I have to say, by the way, over the weekend, I went to Maryland and in honor of Amira, who I'm really growing to love Amira. I think she's like great and I love her takes on the show.

Speaker 2 But in honor of her, I went to Red Robin for the first time ever and I had my first Red Robin experience.

Speaker 1 Oh, I like it.

Speaker 2 It was delicious.

Speaker 1 Because they've got crazy burgers there. They're like blue cheese, candied apple, and MMs.
Burger.

Speaker 1 I know. The burthen.

Speaker 2 Doesn't sound so bad, actually. There was like one burger that was like a queso burger that looked like, it looked like someone dropped a ball of queso on a burger from like an airplane.

Speaker 2 It was just like splattered all over. But I got the, I got like a mushroom and Swiss burger, which is low-key, one of my favorite types of burgers.
And so

Speaker 2 it was, it was lovely.

Speaker 1 I, the fries were great burger was great it was a good red robin experience yeah so brooks is like i know things can be combative but at least you guys aren't trying to stop working for your moms and they're like yeah good point good point brooks so um then we see clips of the drama from the season and he's like uh

Speaker 1 So Amira's like, Riley, what's wrong? What's wrong, Riley? Because Riley's just sitting over there like, I will not speak. I'm upset.

Speaker 1 And now you will all all ask me why i'm upset she's doing that that thing and so she's like yeah i've learned my lesson and amira's like about what she goes speaking

Speaker 2 all right i was like i mean at least i can speak for me but I always want to hear what you have to say, Riley. So that way we can then make you feel bad about it.
And

Speaker 1 I don't want you to feel like you can't say anything. Like, I want you to know like your voice matters.
And I honestly think it's just the way you say things.

Speaker 1 Just like how sometimes I say things you don't like, my approach. It's like the same thing, but without an annoying, whiny voice.

Speaker 2 Riley's like, well, I understand. I can't be like, oh, I shouldn't have said that.
And it erases it. Like, I know that doesn't work that way.
I know that.

Speaker 2 But I also feel like I acknowledge what I said. And when Georgia was talking about her idea and you were like, oh my God, Riley, that's so mean.
I was like, well, I just said I shouldn't say it.

Speaker 2 Because for those who didn't watch last week's episode, Riley's, Riley was like, She was about to say something. She goes, Oh, no, never mind.
I'm not going to say it.

Speaker 2 And then everyone's like, No, say it, say it, say it. And then she said, and they're like, That was mean.
And she's like, I told you it was going to be mean. That's why I wasn't going to say it.

Speaker 1 So, George's like, Yeah, but like, that was your moment to pause and think, Oh my God, like what I'm about to say is probably too harsh. So, maybe I shouldn't say it.

Speaker 1 And then Amira gives her this look. She gives her the Ozempic shaming look.

Speaker 1 Um, because she made an Ozempic joke towards Amir last week, and Amira's never gonna let it go, yeah, because Amira's like, um,

Speaker 2 because

Speaker 2 Georgia is like preaching about how you should pause and think about like what you're about to say. It probably sounds too harsh when she herself has said some very harsh things.

Speaker 2 So, Raw was like, Well, to be real, I said, Well, I thought that me and Georgia were like friends, and like, if you're my friend, I should be able.

Speaker 2 And so, my friend said, What do you think about this idea?

Speaker 2 I would be honest because I thought we were friends, and we just had a whole nice day where I had to sit there and have Miami vices with you in some shitty hotel on ocean beach.

Speaker 2 And Gia's like, okay, well, I think that there's like maybe like a nicer way to say it. Like, that's all I'm trying to say.
It's like there's like nobody.

Speaker 1 Brilliantly doesn't understand it all. Just being like, that is a terrible idea.
She's like, I don't, I don't understand how that was banned.

Speaker 1 She's like, what? How did that hurt? I don't get it. I don't get it, everybody.
So they're like, Riley. And Christian's like, yeah, you know, she can talk however she wants.

Speaker 1 If you don't like it, don't talk to her. And Gia, you just see Gia seed a little.
She's like, okay, Christian.

Speaker 2 carry this later

Speaker 2 christian definitely has the energy of like the guy who runs a pizza place in the teen movie whose daughter's going off to prom and he's going to give like some warm advice i you know i think he has early joe judice energy because what he just said was basically like so what who cares so what yeah who cares who cares

Speaker 2 so what come on so what so riley is like riley's like look if i if i speak it's an issue if i don't speak it's an issue so brooks comes over is like i'm going to hug you mainly because I heard that hugging burns a little more carbs than usual.

Speaker 1 It's like, okay, fine. So,

Speaker 1 Mira and Brooks do a confessional together. And they're like, yeah, Riley really wears her heart on her sleeve.
And he's like, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, she always expects people to have her best interests.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And she's not guarded at all. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Could you say something else? Not at all. Good job.
Good job, Brooks. Yeah, you know, people take advantage, but she's a baby, so it's like part of growing up, know.

Speaker 2 I think we all owe Riley an apology, and she said she didn't want to say it, and they were all saying, say it, say it, and then everyone turns on her. I just think that's like not fair.

Speaker 2 He's like, I completely agree. Can I hug you? I have a few more calories to burn.
I was like, it's just like, it's really frustrating.

Speaker 2 But then birds come and they're like, wait, are these birds going to like shit on us if they poop on us? That's like disgusting. Like, ew.
So they all basically run inside.

Speaker 2 Like, we need to get out of Jersey.

Speaker 1 They just show shy running. He's like holding a plate of pancakes and he's like, no.

Speaker 1 So now they're packing and Georgia and Charlie are spending some cute time outside with the bong.

Speaker 1 And she's like, you know, Omar and I are exclusive now. And he's like, that's dope.
Like, oh, sorry, I was hitting this while you said that. And she's like,

Speaker 1 we're basically best friends. We're like brothers and sisters, me and Charlie.

Speaker 2 I'm like, you guys never even resolved your issues. Like, you guys just had a huge fight before this trip and now you're just like hanging out.
And he's like, oh my God, bongs, am I right?

Speaker 2 Aren't drugs hilarious? I'm such a rebel. So she's like, yeah, we have a label.
I mean, I've been single, aka non-monogamous for five years. It's just like, what?

Speaker 2 He's like, yeah, I've had a lot of relationships. Really?

Speaker 2 What? You mean like Lindsay Lohan?

Speaker 2 It's like, no, Lindsay doesn't count. Really? You weren't in love with Lindsay Lohan? Oh my my God.
I love how hilarious we are right now.

Speaker 1 So she's like, you know what? At the end of the day, you get nothing for nothing. There's still love for Charlie because we like have a friendship for a reason.
The bong. It's mostly the bong.

Speaker 1 So then

Speaker 1 we see proof of this because he offered Georgie his shirt so she could dive in the water for Wiley's phone. So you guys, it's like real.

Speaker 2 It's real. And it only took six weeks for him to get that shirt back.

Speaker 1 So he loves her too they're like brothers and sisters so he's like well congrats for like you and omar like i like him a lot she's yeah i know like i just like want him to talk to you like you guys need a moment i like want you guys to have a moment i hope it's like in front of like an artistic display of like bowling balls

Speaker 2 he's like yeah i'm just gonna get dinner with him like i'm down to chill with the bro yeah i'm cool like that

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 now people are like,

Speaker 2 now they're going to go,

Speaker 2 they're heading home to Jersey and

Speaker 2 they're in their SUVs, whatever, but then they like stop

Speaker 2 to

Speaker 2 go to like a rest stop or whatever. And

Speaker 2 everyone's like waiting for

Speaker 2 waiting for Brooks. So George is getting like really annoyed.

Speaker 1 Brooks is making gas station nachos, which isn't something I really ever thought I'd see where you pour the chips into a plastic thing and then put the cheese on top from the

Speaker 2 yeah.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't think he's a gas station nachos kind of a guy, but

Speaker 2 yeah, I wouldn't think so either. But I'm not going to lie, I was kind of like,

Speaker 2 I wouldn't be mad at that.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 bad, bad. I was like, that's kind of good to me.

Speaker 2 No, no. Maybe I still have the red Robin queso burger in my mind.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, no. Yeah, I bought cheese the other day that I thought was cheddar cheese because it was in the deli section and it was like fresh cut.

Speaker 1 You know, when you get it from the deli section and it's, I don't know. It's like supposed to be better than getting it in the pre-wrapped section, I guess.

Speaker 1 So I brought it home and it was, it it says on the label, processed American cheese. What the fuck, kind of, what is that? Why are you selling that in the deli section?

Speaker 2 Well, it's the valley. What can I say?

Speaker 1 Sprouts, it was a sprouts on like your sprouts. It was supposed to be fancy.
What the hell? No.

Speaker 2 So, anyway, well, while Brooks is like getting his nachos, the gas station nachos, Georgia's getting restless and she's like, Oh my god, I'm going to call an Uber.

Speaker 2 So, Georgia and Charlie go get an Uber so that they could

Speaker 2 drive back at roughly the same rate as if they just stayed in their car, but they can spend more money in the process. And Riley's like, oh my God, they're so dramatic.
I mean, this is what I mean.

Speaker 2 She was so appalled about being called privileged. And Amyra is like, Georgia, if you stand on the side of the road, someone will pick you up.
I promise.

Speaker 1 Hudson's like, guys, there's a privileged way to go and a non-privileged way to go. And they've chosen the privileged way.

Speaker 1 So Omar has called them a car because, of course, they're going to mooch it off somebody else. So he calls a car for them.
And Kevin is,

Speaker 1 Kevin's like, oh my God, remember when they said that their relationship was irreparable? Yeah. Looks like it's okay now.

Speaker 2 Oh, it's so irreparable.

Speaker 2 And Riley is like, I mean, also, she's wearing it, who wears a swimsuit for that long. Like, that cannot be good for the cooch.
And Mara's like, definitely not.

Speaker 2 So they all start talking. I mean, that's great because it gives them an opportunity to talk shit.
So,

Speaker 2 you know, Ariana's like, yeah, I mean, she's sitting there so excited about our idea. And then Riley's like, it's a terrible idea.

Speaker 2 And then Myra's like, I mean, honestly, like, where is she getting the money? Like, girl, be for real. I don't think Omar, I mean, you've been dating him for like three months.

Speaker 2 I don't think he's going to like invest like a million dollars into this.

Speaker 1 And they're like, well, he said. So she goes, yeah, well, also, he's an alleged scammer.
So I don't know how, I don't know how far this is going to go. You guys, Google him.
Google him.

Speaker 1 That's all I'm saying. Just Google him.
Oh, my God. You make a food comment at this chick, and she's going to take you down.

Speaker 2 She's great. I love

Speaker 1 Clarket. My God.

Speaker 2 Clarket. Who said that? Clarket.

Speaker 2 I was predicting that that's going to be a phrase in the year from now.

Speaker 1 No, it's Clocket.

Speaker 1 No, it's Clarket.

Speaker 1 No, it's Clocket.

Speaker 2 I know. She said Clocket, but Clark.

Speaker 2 You missed a lot when you were gone, Ronnie.

Speaker 1 Who's Clark?

Speaker 2 Clarket is what people are saying now instead of Clocket.

Speaker 1 Why? Who's Clark?

Speaker 2 From Love Island, USA, because there was like a moment where Clark was like, she like rolled her eyes or something.

Speaker 1 And then everyone started saying, fuck, I know it from Love Island, USA. Yeah,

Speaker 1 sorry. I've never heard anybody say it out loud.
I've only read it in threads. It's okay, Ronnie.
I've never heard it used as a real thing before.

Speaker 2 That's funny. If it makes you feel any better, I did have to ask someone, like, what is Clarket?

Speaker 2 I was like,

Speaker 2 so I'm just acting like I knew it all along, but it's okay. I'm just passing on education.

Speaker 1 You're like, I'm not sure if you're talking about children on the TV. I was like, what?

Speaker 2 I was like, I get that it's Clarket.

Speaker 1 But I'm saying Clarket. I'm dirty.

Speaker 1 I thought you heard it wrong. I was like, what is that?

Speaker 1 What you're talking about.

Speaker 1 Sorry, my bad. Clark it.
So Amira's like, mom, I won't say anything else about George's boyfriend.

Speaker 1 I will just say Google him and then see if he's going to give her that million dollars to invest in the bar.

Speaker 2 I tried to Google him and I could not figure out what his last name was. So my Googling did not go very far.

Speaker 2 I found someone else named Omar who was a scammer, but I don't think it was him, which was

Speaker 1 so now.

Speaker 1 Um, uh, on meanwhile, on the road to Montauk, and we see Avis' Instagram story, she's like, Hey, guys, you're coming on an event with me into Montauk for Dolce, but unfortunately, like Trump's in town or something, so like I'm stuck in like traffic, so like I need pictures, like I live for content, so watch what I do in a pinch.

Speaker 1 I get out on the side of the road and I take pictures anyway, huh? Made it with half an hour to spend. Got a cupcake.
Thanks, Dolce.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Ava is really not the best.

They hurt.

Speaker 2 Like, and also like, don't announce that like

Speaker 2 you, like, you did not go to this, this event and because you're like, I've got this thing that's coming up. It's coming up.
And then you were this late to it.

Speaker 1 Like, right. Like, everybody else was coming from the same place that you were.
And they all made it.

Speaker 2 So everyone made it. Like, why didn't you just go like the night before and spend the night in the Hamptons? Like, why are you just hanging around in the city?

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 then Charlie and Cheyenne Dylan are at T-Squared Social and they're like, what's up, man? Hey. And Charlie's like, oh, thanks for not coming, Dylan.
You really fucking left me without a paddle, bro.

Speaker 2 Cause Ava didn't even come either. And I was really like, I was ass out and now I'm missing a shirt.

Speaker 2 So then Ariana's hanging out with her friend Austin. They're all like, it's like, what the kids are doing in the city city now, you know?

Speaker 1 Yeah. So then Brooks is at his apartment taking out groceries and he's like, oh my God, they were supposed to give me a COVID test and they gave me a pregnancy test.
I'm still taking it.

Speaker 1 So he calls Chloe and she's like, how are you feeling? And he's like, I'm like, obviously, like overwhelmed because like I'm doing my resort collection. Do they wear jogging suits at resorts now?

Speaker 1 What resort? Where is the resort?

Speaker 1 alaska and i don't know i don't know last time we looked he was still learning how to do a use a sewing machine they show him drawing on the ipad but they don't show what he's drawing and every time you get any kind of sense of what it is it's just he's using the biggest marker on there and it's just big it's just a big red blob so i'm not really sure what he's supposed to be doing but i was cracking up I know.

Speaker 2 So Brooks is like, I, so she's like, what's going on with your merger?

Speaker 2 He's like, well, America, I started my brand four four years ago and i launched a few different products just one product really and they were all really successful with my mom she bought like three of them and i'm just like so i'm creative director at meredith marks and i mean i just feel like i'm being pulled in two separate directions like meredith marks has my arm here and brooks marks is my brand here i'm literally gonna split in half like it's awful

Speaker 1 it's like so hard there's so many instagrams

Speaker 1 so then we see a flashback of him talking about merging with meredith Marks.

Speaker 1 I think it should be an acquisition.

Speaker 1 It should be a conglomerate. Meredith is like, wow, your first word was mama and your second word was conglomerate.
I've never been prouder of a time.

Speaker 2 He's literally acting like he is Paramount and Skydance trying to merge together.

Speaker 2 Got Stephen Colbert fired. Seth is like, well, are you aware of the level of attachment issues you have with your mother? Do we need to Google that? What attachment are?

Speaker 1 I'm being hilarious right now?

Speaker 2 Okay, attachment issues is when a child is attached to their mom, when the child can't do anything completely on their own and need their mom to validate them. Meric, are you catching?

Speaker 2 This is hilarious. This is banter, right? This is good dynamics.
This is TV. This is what we're going.
Okay, keep going.

Speaker 1 Okay, attachment issues are when, hold on, let me read this from the phone.

Speaker 1 Attachment issues are when the son only hangs out with the mother and won't talk to the dad about his future journey as a pans.

Speaker 1 So that's not great, Brooks. Brooks, Brooks, anal, anal or no? Anal or no?

Speaker 1 Anal on the first date. Go ahead.
Dad,

Speaker 1 we're father and son. Come on.
Pretend I'm your mom. Oh, dad,

Speaker 2 I'm getting out of this interview session and going back to the current storyline. So, Chloe, all these conversations, I've realized I don't know if the merger makes sense.

Speaker 2 Like, I have to talk to mom. Like, the FCC.
They can't know that I'm going to back out of this merger. It's terrible.
And she's like, well, the sooner you propose a merger,

Speaker 2 you shouldn't propose a merger if you're like not confident in wanting a merger.

Speaker 1 I know. I just told you I want to talk to her about it, Chloe.
She's like, oh, my God, grumpy. He's like, yeah, you know I'm grumpy.
Conglomerate. She's like, yeah, that's like really hard.

Speaker 2 Good luck. He's like, oh, my God.

Speaker 1 It's so much pressure.

Speaker 1 So we go to Georgia and Omar. And Georgia's like, oh, my God.
Do you officially like the name Club Club for the club? He's like, yeah. She goes, yeah, cool.

Speaker 1 Cause like, I like when things are named what they are. Like when a shop is called shop, it's like the least try-hard thing you can do.

Speaker 2 It's, it's actually the most try-hard thing you could do.

Speaker 2 It's like being so ironic that it's actually very try-hard.

Speaker 1 I still get confused when I pass French laundry. I still get confused.
I don't understand it.

Speaker 1 Like, how can that be a popular restaurant? I just don't get it.

Speaker 2 Or how about Chinese laundry, which is somehow shoes?

Speaker 1 How does this happen? Well, what the hell, you guys? It's confusing. Stop confusing people on purpose.
And especially when it's bowling, like bowling is pretty specific.

Speaker 1 Bowl bowl would be good, you know, like

Speaker 1 you know what it is.

Speaker 1 But club club?

Speaker 2 Who knows? Club club. Yeah, guys, we're going to call it club club.
I'm like, okay, great.

Speaker 2 Try less.

Speaker 1 I have an episode store called Try Less.

Speaker 2 So she's showing up. Club Club is a place where you go and get sandwiches, right? No?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Club club. It's a place only people with one extra large foot can go.

Speaker 2 It's a place where only cavemen are allowed. Club club.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 she shows pictures of her concept and stuff. And he's like, she's like, yeah, at this point, a club club.

Speaker 1 We're doing a trial run of what this club club might look like and act like and be like and feel like and smell like.

Speaker 2 Just like, what is it?

Speaker 1 Is it like a club or is it a club? It's both. Do you understand what I'm saying? He's like, yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, good this is a great meeting you want a whiteboard yeah yeah i do

Speaker 2 yeah let's just do this like brutalist club club idea let's put on the whiteboard she's like you know i'm bringing like the idea like the creative like the team everything we're gonna like we're gonna like do a collab we should do a collab and like make the bowling balls look like some sort of like sexual bowling ball you know and like and omar's gonna come and he's gonna

Speaker 1 be sexual girl they're balls they're literally balls and they've got holes that you finger like there's nothing more sexual than a fucking bowling ball.

Speaker 1 And then you throw the balls at big giant penis shaped things. Like you're already in the most sexual fucking sport.
She's like, how do we sexualize something with balls, phallic symbols, and holes?

Speaker 1 It'll come to me. It'll come to me.
Oh my God. I just sexualized that sentence.
God.

Speaker 2 You know, like so much parties are just like reputation.

Speaker 2 So like basically, if it flops for some reason, like for whatever reason, that club club could ever possibly flop, like that's going to be like devastating to my career.

Speaker 2 Like, I may never, ever be able to throw another rave in a deli featuring a DJ ever again. I mean, this is it.
Everything hangs on this moment.

Speaker 1 He's like, well, if my friends tell me it's stupid, then like, we'll have to come up with another idea. She's like, yeah.
So, like, there's huge steaks. There's like huge steaks.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 We should have a steakhouse called Steak Steak.

Speaker 1 Steak Steak. No, no.
House House.

Speaker 1 It's less tryhard. Wait.

Speaker 2 What about Steakhouse or House Steak?

Speaker 1 Hmm.

Speaker 2 I may be onto something.

Speaker 1 So Riley houses out of steaks. It's like the least try-hard thing you could do.

Speaker 2 And vampires will never come, which is great.

Speaker 2 So Riley and Ariana are working out, and

Speaker 2 afterwards, they're talking. And Riley is saying how the Triple H stressed her out, and she was in therapy.

Speaker 2 And she's saying how, like, she was really disappointed in herself because she doesn't want to be like Charlie in 29 and getting into arguments with people, you know, and everything.

Speaker 2 And Ariana's like, well, what are you supposed to do when there's like 1500 million people coming at you, you know, and chiming in?

Speaker 2 And not, I always say I should stop chiming in, but no matter what, in any situation, I should come and stand down next to you and not chime in. I don't have an excuse.
I really don't.

Speaker 2 Cause I'm sorry. I really love you.
I was like, oh, that's, you,

Speaker 2 you resolved that.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 I know. Ariana's so sweet.
She's just like, okay, it's resolved. And Riley's saying, yeah, I went to therapy.

Speaker 1 And then I was like, I just want to be better because like, I want to be better with my issues and stuff. And I failed myself.
She's like, no, you didn't. You didn't.
You're great. You're amazing.

Speaker 1 We're friends forever. She's like, yeah.
So then Ariana invites her back to her house to get ready because it's time for Georgia's brutalist bowl party with sexualized bowling balls.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 But first, Charlie and Anmo are going to have a scene. So Charlie's like, yo, yo, yo, dad, father, figure, what are you up to today?

Speaker 2 She's like, trading a little bit, having a career, doing things successful, you know, things you've never done in your entire life. I might even go to the gym.

Speaker 2 Again, another fun experience for you, skinny boy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, I might actually go to the gym before I leave because like I gotta go set up my new apartment and everything. Oh, look at you.
New apartment. You know what that means for me? New bills.

Speaker 1 New bills for Charlie. Fun for me.
Oh, yeah. I can't wait to pay for a new apartment for you, stupid little fuck.

Speaker 2 Wow, actually might quote unquote go to the gym, just like you actually might, quote unquote, get a job someday, or actually, quote, do something with your life, or actually, quote, get a good personality for once

Speaker 1 i can't wait until i get a new bill for your couch i've asked for pictures of it because i know it's the one place that you'll always be

Speaker 2 by the way have you do you have my speaker yet i've been waiting several weeks for you to give it back to me

Speaker 1 He's like, I'm so excited to be back in a luxury building. Oh, really? Well, don't forget they need a COI, otherwise they won't let you in, you stupid little idiot luxury building.

Speaker 1 Well, that building is fun. Very, very very far.
Stupid building. If I get complaints from this building about letting losers in, I'm going to say, you did it to yourself, stupid.

Speaker 1 I told you who's a loser. You asked me to co-sign.
I co-signed father of loser, and they still accepted application.

Speaker 2 Ah, yes, you're excited about being back in the luxury building. That's like how I was excited when I finally had you, my son.

Speaker 1 And I thought, oh, look, I've finally an heir to leave everything to you.

Speaker 2 And then I realized, no, no, it will never happen. Okay, failure.

Speaker 1 It's what I said when your mother gave birth to

Speaker 1 your sister. I looked over at you and I said, finally, a luxury child.

Speaker 2 Turns out he was a loser child all along.

Speaker 2 So Charlie is like, wow, 30 is just like right around the corner and that's stressful, you know? Because like, where should I be in my life? And what should I be doing?

Speaker 2 And I know that I live a lifestyle that is relatively frowned upon by my dad. Not relatively.

Speaker 1 Completely.

Speaker 2 Completely frowned upon. Yeah, but at the end of the day,

Speaker 2 you do get nothing for nothing. Actually, you get a lot for nothing.
You get nothing. I'm the one who gets nothing for everything.

Speaker 1 miserab has nothing on you that's for sure

Speaker 1 it's like i believe you

Speaker 1 want to be happy oh really i want you to be happy is that is that a new word for employed that's a new word for employed now happy

Speaker 2 you know if you were if you wrote my uh lamezerab i believe the song would be called masturbate in the house

Speaker 1 It's funny that you quote Lehmesa Rob because that was your first report card from preschool. That's all it said.
Le Miser Rob.

Speaker 2 You know, I had a dream more like, oh, I dreamed a dream. Hold on one second.
I'm still trying to work on my limb.

Speaker 2 I blocked out Le Miss Rob for so much of my life because it reminded me so much of you.

Speaker 1 Okay, I dreamed a dream. More like,

Speaker 2 I sat around on my stupid face.

Speaker 1 One thing I've always wanted to be ever since I've met you on my own.

Speaker 2 Castle on a cloud. More like.

Speaker 1 Bong making cloud.

Speaker 1 Okay, well, let's leave my scene now. Let's just go to Georgia because she's going to Melody Lanes talking to a venue guy about sexualizing bowling balls.

Speaker 1 Even this girl, she wants to fuck bowling balls. She's doing more than you.
Stupid.

Speaker 2 Stupid peston. So Georgia is like, okay,

Speaker 2 so

Speaker 2 it's not going to be a traditional event bowling person. It's going to be like party vods.

Speaker 2 So like normally, you know how your bowling alley is normally all fluorescent lights. Now it's going to be 85% fluorescent light and I'm going to have a red LED light in the corner.

Speaker 1 So get ready. I love that she's acting like this is such a new idea.
They already have all the lighting there for this. It's called Moonlight Bowl.

Speaker 1 How many times do I have to say this before someone on this show hears me? It's making me crazy.

Speaker 2 So she's acting like it's like she's, she's acting like people going to go bowling and drinking, getting drunk while bowling is like a new idea.

Speaker 1 And I just love that she keeps saying things like, oh my God, this is going to be amazing because there's going to be like bowling, but there's also going to be like dancing. No,

Speaker 1 People dancing on bowling lanes? What do you, they're going to die. People will throw bowling balls and they will hit them in the legs.
Do you understand?

Speaker 1 And then they will break their legs and fall down.

Speaker 1 And then you'll probably still keep bowling because you'll have a bunch of drunk, drugged up kids in here throwing bowling balls at hookers on the ground. Yeah.
Good.

Speaker 1 Brooks Lauder.

Speaker 2 Brooks and Cade are at the apartment and Brooks is like, Cade, do you want to be a potential investor in my company? We're doing resort where.

Speaker 2 And he's like, um, we're not going to mix business and relationship. I mean, so I'm just going to let you, you can just do this.

Speaker 2 And he's like, but like, why can't you just be like an AirPod in my ear? It's like, um, I thought we talked about no more safety blankets.

Speaker 1 Yeah. They're so cute.
I love Cade. I want to find a Cade.
He's so sweet.

Speaker 1 So then Sarah, Seth, and Meredith come in. He's like, oh, look who's here, mommy.

Speaker 1 You could probably tell because your, your umbilical cord was probably like lighting up when that elevator came closer to him. All right.
All right. We're here.

Speaker 1 Stop Cade in the hallway. Asked him about Anal.
He says it's going great. Good for you, kid.
Good for you. I'm so proud of you.

Speaker 2 Well, we are here to do a test run of something, of you doing a pitch for the future merger of Meredith Marks and Brooks Marks and Marks and Marks, Marks Brothers, Daughters.

Speaker 2 And, well, let's see your presentation. I see you've stuck a lot of pictures on the wall and used up your monthly allowance on Inktoner.

Speaker 1 So thank you for using that let's see what you have to say hi my name is brooks marks um i make jogging pants i take jogging pants from china and put a ribbon on them that says brooks marks but recently i've discovered something called light terry it's like terry cloth but it's light so we call it light terry tm TM

Speaker 2 um hey can I have a hey wait wacky father needs to interrupt for one second I'm just saying the luxury sales yeah all offer wine and champagne, and they want their potential customers drunk.

Speaker 2 So it's a little tip from an angel investor to an angel son because you are an angel. Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay. Hold on.
Let me go to my sponsor, Vita Tequila. I love when he pulled out some Vita Tequila.
I was like, yes.

Speaker 2 I didn't even notice that. I am,

Speaker 2 I am,

Speaker 2 I'm failed as a podcaster. How did I not see that? It was Vita Tequila.

Speaker 1 Clark.

Speaker 2 So it's like, so Brooks continues on. He's like, fashion, fabric, et cetera.
Little toddlers need to grow up too. And Seth's like, wow, my brains are blown.
Look at this. Two words, pop how.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 2 Huge, hilarious, amazing work, son.

Speaker 1 Brooks, Marks, Individual Company, LLC, $100,000. Okay.
And you guys get 8% equity. And Murdoch's like, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
Stop, Roxy, honey.

Speaker 1 In exchange for, I just want to understand something. I came here thinking you were going to be pitching a merger between Meredith Marks and Brooksy Toddler Marks.

Speaker 1 And now you're saying you want to have your own company. So I'm just going to need a little clarification on that.

Speaker 2 I apologize for like not communicating this sooner, but I was in New Jersey. So I feel like that it's time for me to like take a risk and step back from Meredith Marks and grow my brand.

Speaker 2 I'm thinking about after four years, coming up with a new item. So, she said,

Speaker 2 Well, as a father, I love that you're spreading your wings. Oh my god, is there a bird in here? Like, gross, disgusting.

Speaker 1 She's like,

Speaker 1 She's not happy at all. And Seth is like, Oh, well, you had a business plan, kid.
And let me tell you, a business plan is like pornography. You know it when you see it.

Speaker 1 And it just jerked off in my pants. Just splurting all over myself.

Speaker 2 We have a deal, but I mean, you knew you'd have a deal because we were parents. So Brooks's like, hold on, mother, can you hold back? I want to speak to you privately.

Speaker 2 And by privately, I mean just three feet away while dad lingers nearby. Okay, I'm like really scared to not fully not work with you because like, honestly, I've carried just like a paper towel.

Speaker 1 It's great. You absorb it right away.

Speaker 2 Dad's, dad, stop jerking off into my samples. I've literally worked with you for like 10 years and like there's not been a single lemon I've cut without your hand on it.

Speaker 2 Also, and I just started your social media and like, I

Speaker 1 don't know what my relationship with my mom looks like when I'm not working with her.

Speaker 1 I don't know when you learn so many words, but they are nothing. You won't ever be loved by your mother, Bronxing.

Speaker 1 I don't want you to present me.

Speaker 1 I don't want you to present you, Brunson.

Speaker 1 You're all grown up.

Speaker 1 I'm not grown up yet. Coming to mama, time for a feeding.

Speaker 1 I'm not gone, mom.

Speaker 2 Mom, you want to use this Terry Light?

Speaker 1 It's high absorption.

Speaker 1 She's like,

Speaker 1 laughing through the tears.

Speaker 2 One white bean salad coming up.

Speaker 1 It's like, next, I think I need to have children. Saying, oh, one thing at a time, honey.

Speaker 2 Seth, when do we tell him that toddlers can't have children?

Speaker 1 So now we go to Omar and Charlie for their man meeting. Men talk privately about women.
Okay.

Speaker 1 So let's have our man meeting. I'll meet you at Peachy's.

Speaker 2 Yeah. So Omar is like, um,

Speaker 1 Peachy's in Janitan.

Speaker 2 So Omar is like, um,

Speaker 2 uh, you know, I didn't really get a chance to speak to you during the trip and stuff. And I typically like to deal with my issues.

Speaker 2 And he's when he talks, he swings his head around as if he's gonna like, he's getting ready to do like a shot put or something. He's gonna shot put his own head off his body.

Speaker 2 And he's like, you know what, you know, I don't know you. I just, I don't know what you said and the language.
Like I speak to a woman, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1 Omar is just a lump who doesn't move at all. He's just like, yeah.

Speaker 1 Is everyone on this show on some kind of a benzo?

Speaker 2 So low as Well, he is his body is a lump, but he like rotates his hands in his head.

Speaker 1 He does like a weird look.

Speaker 1 It's like

Speaker 2 in his same freaking, he has like that one suit from like Jose Banks, and he is just going to wear it all the way down. Yeah.
Which would take about one week.

Speaker 1 So he's like, you know, but like your language to a woman that I'm dating, like, that's obviously wrong. And so we see a flashback to Charlie being like, you stupid, delusional bitch.

Speaker 1 If you were a man, I would fucking hit you right now, slap you in the fucking face so we come back and charlie's like valid valid you know like i felt like i quick you know i i felt disrespected quite and uh obviously my reaction like made it go crazy so like i accept my responsibility in the escalation certainly certainly so yeah

Speaker 1 there's just some adult words there i hope you can just chomp on those for a second omar okay yeah He's like, yeah, I respect Omar in every way.

Speaker 2 I mean, I think power to anyone who could be such an adult, you know, and like, I mean, he's two years younger than me. I mean, are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 I thought he was 10 years older than me, mainly because of this suit, you know?

Speaker 2 But so then, then they, then it like goes into this scene where they just like talk about business, which is kind of funny. Now they become best friends.

Speaker 1 He's like, I'm sorry. He's like, yeah, man.
He's like, but I like crypto. He's like, yeah, crypto, right? He's like, yeah, bro, crip.
We're like DJs. We're like DJs together.

Speaker 1 We're both like, I like really respect what you've done in the space, bro.

Speaker 2 Omar's like, obviously, like, you know, if I were to get, if I were to do crypto now, I'd probably do a start like a very contrarian VC group.

Speaker 2 And like, you don't really need to be like, that have like that much experience. It's like whiteboards, like so many whiteboards and like whiteboards that would have pictures of crypto on it.

Speaker 2 And the crypto would fund more whiteboards. It's just like, it would repeat itself.
It's just like, bro, like, this is the future, man.

Speaker 1 And Charlie's like, yeah, like choosing a good project, like, it's like so many D-gens.

Speaker 1 And he's like, yeah, you know, it's like, if it's remotely of interest, though, Charlie, like, I'd highly recommend it because like there's so few people that have a backbone in this business.

Speaker 1 You have a backbone. Do you have one single suit that you can wear every day of your life? That's super important.
You need to sleep in it.

Speaker 1 You need a suit that you can poop in and also run in and also be fine, like just chilling in an elevator in.

Speaker 1 You have that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Commercials.

Speaker 1 Here comes one right now.

Speaker 1 Cold mornings, holiday plans. This is when I just want my wardrobe to be simple.

Speaker 1 I'm wearing it all the time, and I look adorable and dashing. I love them for the wardrobe pieces like this, you know, when it's like cold, you get a nice sweater, a nice pair of pants.

Speaker 1 I mean, Quince is great for that. And I got a titanium watch band for my smartwatch that looks very chic.

Speaker 2 omar's like you know crypto really attracts some like you know denizens of society you know what i mean i'm like yeah i'm i'm looking at two of them i'm like

Speaker 2 where are they is this i thought this was for sure setting up Charlie getting caught at the crime scene of the crypto bros who were torturing the guy from Italy in Manhattan, but no, didn't get there.

Speaker 1 I was waiting for some projects because Charlie sounds like he's going to pitch. He's like, yeah, like I've been trying to come up with a good project.
Like I thought of a coin called Fart.

Speaker 1 That's actually been done.

Speaker 1 Shit. That's been done.

Speaker 1 That's been done.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you know. Charlie.
Sorry, buddy.

Speaker 2 Charlie's like, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 I think I'm like prone to like understanding the average crypto degenerate that I am to like understanding the average traditional finance investor because like obviously there's a lot of toxicity in any group of people, especially with any degenerates, you know financially so like there's scams you know and like that's all sort of bullshit right and Omar's like yeah oh oh sorry

Speaker 2 since you brought up scams sorry to man oh George has called me twice uh I guess we can't talk about scams anymore

Speaker 1 when they when he's like yeah like financially there's scams and the music goes all right and it like focuses on Omar's face because he was called a scammer

Speaker 1 and he goes uh yeah well George has called me like twice she goes yeah because George's like feinting for her mans he's like yeah well we're gonna travel after this um we're gonna be going to like korea japan all over like basic asia basic asia touring and he's like yeah wow bro that was a good trial and tribulation

Speaker 2 living with a girl in your bed every day is difficult you know he's like he's like yeah well i love georgia This hopefully will be different.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 2 I just can't wait to visit Asia with her and come back with her from Asia. The two of us returning together on the same flight from Asia, specifically Singapore.
That will be a great moment for us.

Speaker 1 Our general Asia trip. So then we go to Brooks talking to Amira on the phone, and she's in France, and they're gossiping about Ava.

Speaker 1 And she's like, Did she even apologize, at least, for not making your event? Like, did she even apologize for not making it to her birthday party?

Speaker 1 And he's like, and we see a flashback to him talking to Ava. And he's like, I'm so sad you weren't there.
She's like, yeah, I'm sorry. It's like the worst timing.
Like, Trump came to town. So, like,

Speaker 2 well, the trip was from like Wednesday to Friday. So, I was like confused if like something more was going on.

Speaker 2 And she's like, Oh, no, I mean, my fitting was supposed to be a Tuesday, but then they had to move it to, um, or maybe the event was Thursday and the fitting was on Friday.

Speaker 2 No, sorry, the fitting was on Thursday, the event was on Tuesday.

Speaker 1 No, um, so

Speaker 1 I have to look.

Speaker 2 When did you guys have dinner? Thursday. That's when the event was.
No, Friday. That's when the event was.

Speaker 1 She's like, yeah, well. And he goes, Yeah, she was like, I really need to get to this event for my career.
And like, I support careers. And Amir's like, um, for her career, girl, girl.

Speaker 1 I mean, I have the actual invite here. Girl, this is a pop-up in Montauk.
Like, I can justify missing your friend's birthday for a store opening, but for a fucking pop-up batch.

Speaker 2 what like i do think it was actually really fucked up that she did not show for your birthday

Speaker 2 amira i am like loving amira she just comes in and she just sort of like she's saying about everything that we're thinking so now we go now it's time to go to club club

Speaker 1 club would you club club would you say she's coming for blood yeah amira's taking no prisoners so um georgia and danny are getting ready omar comes with an investor who i don't I'm just sorry.

Speaker 1 I don't believe that's an investor. Who is that guy?

Speaker 1 He's like, I'm an investor, and you guys can tell because I talk very low and I wear turtlenecks and glasses.

Speaker 2 And chains and I have like a high pony. So this, I mean, I really, I don't know what character actor this was, but great work.
Great work.

Speaker 2 If this was like, if this was Sasha Baron Cohen, if it Eric Andre, whoever you were in disguise, you did, you did it. You infiltrated a Bravo show.
No one even noticed.

Speaker 1 You're doing great. Yeah, great work.

Speaker 2 So George is all mad. She's like, um,

Speaker 2 Homar, like, why did you bring investors when it's just starting and no one's here? Like, don't you know no one comes to a party until an hour after it starts? Like, what?

Speaker 2 I'm like, uh, but you just do a party for Meredith Marks and you're upset that Ava showed up late. So

Speaker 2 this party's gonna be lame no matter what.

Speaker 1 Let's be honest.

Speaker 1 So, um, Riley and Ariana are getting ready and they're just talking about how this is gonna be a a disaster. I'm like, oh my God, I've seen pictures and it's a little confusing.

Speaker 1 Riley's like, yeah, I hope she proves me wrong. And then we go back and people are arriving.
The Brookses arrive, Chloe and Marks, Chloe and Brooks and Gia.

Speaker 1 And then we see basically this opening, which it's a bowling alley. It's people hanging out at a bowling alley.

Speaker 1 So Brooks is like, love the vibe. You're like totally making bowling chic.

Speaker 2 And I love that like Brooks goes around the, he like encounters a vending machine, and he, he acts like he, I think he thinks that, like, Georgia installed it there as part of like this, like, cool retro thing.

Speaker 2 He's like, oh, look, a vending machine.

Speaker 1 You're in a bowling alley.

Speaker 2 But it only takes quarters. What are quarters?

Speaker 1 There's these like projections up above the lanes of like women shadows dancing like they're at a club. And Brooks goes, oh my God, wow.
She goes, yeah, I made those projections like a year ago.

Speaker 1 And he's like, oh, I thought there were women like in a cage dancing back there.

Speaker 2 It's like, No, yes, they're doing the cell block tango at the bottom,

Speaker 1 but it was so funny. That vending machine, he's like, Yeah, like stuff's in there, but you have to have something called quarters.

Speaker 1 He's like, Where do I get that? And I'm like, Maybe they'll have it in cash register. He's like, What's cash?

Speaker 1 So they go up there and they're like, Can we do, should we do like a hundred dollars in quarters?

Speaker 2 Uh, so then people are arriving, and Ariana is like, Club Club is really not giving club. This is not a club.

Speaker 2 And she's like, Look, like Club Club is kind of like the Ariana Bierman of fashion designers. It's just not really giving what it's saying it's giving.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So Charlie comes and he's asking about Ava. And Brooks is like, Yeah, I got a pedicare with Ava.
And I was like, I'm so sad you're wearing at my party.

Speaker 1 And she was like, The event was on Thursday, but like the fitting was on Thursday. But the party went from Wednesday to Friday to Saturday to Monday to, I don't know.

Speaker 1 And she's like, she was making up bullshit excuses the whole time.

Speaker 2 And Brooke's like, I really don't want to jeopardize my friendship with Ava in any way because like it's really important that. you have someone who's very bland in your life at all times.

Speaker 2 And she's that person for me. So if that means I have to bite some of my conflicting feelings, like so be it.

Speaker 1 So then

Speaker 1 comes with her new man, Hook.

Speaker 1 Hook.

Speaker 1 Sorry about your arm, sir. Sorry about your arm.

Speaker 2 Hey, did anyone see Hook? He was at Club Club. No, I didn't see Hook at Club Club.

Speaker 1 Hey guys, I'm bringing Hook and I just want to make sure that there's no crocodiles with timing watches on them.

Speaker 1 He'll get really triggered.

Speaker 2 How does he feel about vending machines? Does he know about quarters? They're apparently like a thing.

Speaker 1 So, um, Hudson and Ariana are talking, and um,

Speaker 1 I don't know, they're talking about Ava, and uh, they're like, Well, yeah, she should have been there for your birthday.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you should have said something, but I know you hate confrontation, so I'm like, there's no way Brooks is going to be like, So, Ava, are you?

Speaker 1 Because, like, this is New York, so you need to learn to be listening as a New Yorker, let me tell you, learn to be a New Yorker. This is your time, this is your time.
I love the smell of piss.

Speaker 1 I'm wearing it tonight. Do you smell it?

Speaker 2 So, New York, yeah, I understand New York so well. So yeah, Ava like shows up behind and them and, and so it's like awkward.
And Brooke's like, oh my God, I have to say something.

Speaker 2 Well, Ava, you know, I like love you so much for some reason. It's not your personality.

Speaker 2 I don't really know what it is, but maybe because you're pretty, which is why like talking to you now, like, it really makes me like so uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 So yeah, so they finally have to go have a little talk. Yeah.
He's like, yeah, like what you're saying is different from what what Amir is saying.

Speaker 1 She's like, don't let like other people get in your head. Cause like, I mean, I'm not even 100% sure she was invited, but it was like in the Hamptons.

Speaker 1 So it had been like eight hours in the car from Jersey Shore to Montauk. So like technically, yeah, I could have come, but like, you know, hair and makeup, like, I just didn't want to.

Speaker 1 So he's like, wow. Okay, good.
I'm so glad we talked. She's like, great.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So basically, you just, my birthday wasn't worth it.
Exactly. Okay.
Thanks. That was like a hug.
That was like a hug.

Speaker 2 So Hudson's like, look, I'm, I'm not trying to be like in the middle of this, but I am stuck in the middle. And Ava's like, well, why are you stuck in the middle?

Speaker 2 And they're like, oh my God, oh my God, Hudson and Hudson. He's like, no, I'm, I'm stuck in the middle of you too.
I need to get out. Can you please step aside? I need to get out of here.

Speaker 1 And Ariana's like, my inner thoughts are, I'm trying to shut the fuck up. I'm trying to shut the fuck up.
I'm trying to shut the fuck up now. So Ava's like, you don't have to be involved, Hudson.

Speaker 1 And he's like, but also, also, and she, Ariana's still like, oh my God, keep your mouth to yourself. Keep it to yourself.
Hudson's like, well, like, I'm legitimately stuck.

Speaker 1 So, and finally shy is just like, can we go bowl? Like,

Speaker 1 my God, I'm the only one here with a job. I was actually looking forward to bowling.
These balls have condoms coming out of them. Why do I want to fuck these bowling balls? George is like, nailed it.

Speaker 1 Nailed it.

Speaker 2 Ariana's like story arc is complete because she's like, I decided not to butt in and

Speaker 2 I kept that promise to myself. I did not butt in over a minor discussion.
It's like, wow, she's come full circle. She's grown.
New York has made her a full woman now.

Speaker 2 So they start to do some more bowling. And then Georgia has to sit down with Miguel, the crypto investor.
And she's like, so what do you think about Club Club? It's just like, it is what it is, right?

Speaker 2 It just says what it is. It's on the nose.
He's like, he's like, well, I have a question. I mean, I want the idea.
I want the vision. I want the inspiration.

Speaker 1 She's like, look around.

Speaker 2 What do you not get? Fluorescent lighting check, projections check. Balls that are like sexual and have condoms coming out of the little finger holes.
Check, check, check.

Speaker 1 She's like, look, you've got merriment. You've got joy.
You've got like lighting. You've got flooring.
There's walls. There's air.
There's sandwiches. There's like dancing.
There's projections.

Speaker 1 There's happiness. There's people.
Uptown, downtown, midtown. Do you understand what I'm saying? Towntown, downtown.

Speaker 2 I like the concept. I like the concept.
And then you can just branch. Branch, branch.
Diversify.

Speaker 1 Diversify, diversify. Diversify fi.
Synergy. What are you going to do? It's going to change the world.
People all across America are going to bowl.

Speaker 2 Wow. It's like, yeah.
So

Speaker 2 you're saying this sport could really take off in every town in America. Wow.
Yeah. Innovator.
Sport is sports.

Speaker 1 Disruptive. So they've made a deal.
So now we go back to Charlie and he's hugging Georgia and he's like, wow, fun party. Love you.
Glad we made up. Omar and I had a good conversation.

Speaker 1 She's like, yeah, he said

Speaker 1 you were cracking him the fuck off. Like, I was fucking amazing.
He said you said DJN a lot and tribulation. So he's like, totally into you.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 So Georgia's like, everyone, I have an announcement.

Speaker 2 Thank you. Get ready for Club Club in 2025.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 2 everyone.

Speaker 2 Because everyone I talked to was like elated, like taking balls and rolling them down across the floor and knocking over pins. What an idea.

Speaker 1 Oh my God. Club club.
Yeah. Riley's like, yeah, I definitely wanted to be proven wrong.
And I was right. So, and Ariana's like, oh, the food was good.
And they said, oh, yeah, that's not her food.

Speaker 1 She's like, oh, okay. Sorry.
And we just see the food and it's chicken tenders.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And Ava is like, you know, this friend group, we've definitely had our small little tiffs, but at the end of the day, we can still like get together and support each other. And And I love that.

Speaker 2 Like, no one wants to hear from you, Ava. Everyone's mad at you.
And then she's, she pulls a strike and no one even pays attention.

Speaker 2 Anyone? No?

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 2 So now we have.

Speaker 1 Yay, that was a good show. It was a good season, but it's not over.

Speaker 2 Yes, we have this like fun kind of like, this is what happened the rest of the year for these kids in New York. So we see everyone doing things.
We see Brooks. He's doing like a photo shoot.

Speaker 2 Shy's playing guitar. Dylan is shirtless and running around the city working out, being hot.

Speaker 1 The currently time they show Dylan. Like, Dylan's not even on the show, but they'll show him occasionally shirtless.
But now he has a beard. So that's his growth.

Speaker 2 He's really grown up. So Ariana and Hudson are walking down the street.
And Ariana's like, my first summer in New York is like what I hoped it was going to be. It was like, forget about it.

Speaker 2 Am I right? I'm a real New Yorker now.

Speaker 1 And her dog poops in the crockwalk, the crosswalk. Someone's like, God damn it.
What the fuck? What the fuck? Shut the fuck up, asshole. Yeah, Ariana's made it.
She's a New Yorker.

Speaker 2 And then Brooks is like, moving to New York has changed my life entirely. Like, I'm not working for my mom anymore.
And I do think cutting the cord, I think we cut the cord.

Speaker 2 And I might be hanging on by like a thread, but like, I cut it.

Speaker 1 I've grown.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Now instead of working for my mom, I'm just like working for myself with money my mom gave me.
So it's like totally different.

Speaker 2 And then we see a scene of like, of Brooks and Seth going to, like, going to someone where Seth is going to pretend to be a potential investor and not the dad.

Speaker 2 So Seth is there and Brooks is making like a pitch and Seth is like, I'm a potential investor. And Brooks is like, dad?

Speaker 1 He's like,

Speaker 1 and I'm the dad.

Speaker 1 So then now it's fall and Gia, Christian, Hudson, and Ariana are having lunch and talking about how Gia has been with Christian for five years. Where's the ring? And she's like, maybe soon.

Speaker 1 He's like, maybe in like four years. And she's like, four years.
That's like another decade.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 then we go to the camera.

Speaker 1 She believes.

Speaker 2 Yep. Yes, exactly.
And then Ava and Dash are in the car talking about Hook because they're dating. And Dame is like, so you guys talked about marriage yet? And she's like, he has to move it.

Speaker 2 Like, he was like, he wants me to move in with him. And he's like, damn,

Speaker 2 when are you going to stay then?

Speaker 2 And she's she's like well i don't know i'm gonna go to your crib whatever it's like no one cares and then we go to charlie driving and he's like you know i'm almost 30 and you know that's something that's driving a lot of my decisions and behaviors is uh what's it like to skateboard around manhattan when you're 30 instead of 29 it's weird

Speaker 1 quote cut to georgia squirting a water gun in her mouth

Speaker 1 this fucking girl so omar gets a text from charlie and he's like hey really interested in consulting in this project i'd love to continue helping.

Speaker 1 So now he's agreed to help raise some money for Omar's business.

Speaker 1 Whatever that business may be, whatever it is.

Speaker 2 And then we find out that Georgia and Omar have like moved in together and they're like in this high-rise and everything is great between them.

Speaker 2 And then we go to this, we see Amyra and Brooks at dinner. And she's saying that like they're talking about their relationships.

Speaker 2 And Brooks is saying that his relationship with Kate is just like really healthy. He doesn't feel like it deserves it.
And she also feels like she's like, no, you do deserve it.

Speaker 2 Like, this is the genuinely happy I've ever seen you. Unlike that bitch, Georgia.
Hello. That's someone who's never had Red Robin.

Speaker 1 Okay, so then we get to the good part. So Georgia and Omar are in Singapore and we see pictures of her like jumping into the water.

Speaker 1 And she's like, yeah, we were planning like this Christmas trip to Singapore, like General Asia, because like Omar doesn't have to work one week out of the year. So we did it.

Speaker 1 And then we get to Brooks and Charlie, and uh, they're got, they're starting to gossip. Oh, no, Brooks and Ava.

Speaker 1 So Brooks goes, Georgia and Omar broke up, and they're like, Oh my God, oh my God, what happened?

Speaker 1 So then we go back to Amira and Charlie, and Amir's like, Oh my God, they're broken up, heartbroken, heartbroken. Google him, Google him.

Speaker 2 And then Amira's like, Well, she did fat shame me on national television. So that bitch can rot in hell.

Speaker 1 She did not fat-shame you. You're so ridiculous.

Speaker 2 Red Robin.

Speaker 2 The red robin meal that will never be forgotten.

Speaker 1 Oh my God.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 now Georgia, they're like, oh my God. Did Georgia post a TikTok about this? Oh my God.
No, she didn't. So we see the TikTok and Georgia's like, oh my God, life is so funny.

Speaker 1 One day you're living in a $10,000 a month apartment. You're with a man you think you're going to marry.
You're sexualizing bowling balls for him.

Speaker 1 And then you get into into one fight and he cuts you off financially.

Speaker 2 And it turns out that she's stranded in Singapore with like no way to get home. And Omar packed up all her shit and sent all her shit in boxes to Charlie's hallway.

Speaker 2 And we see a stack of these boxes that he just has to take in.

Speaker 2 Omar was like, you have to accept these boxes because I'm your boss now. So enjoy.

Speaker 1 What was this one disagreement? Jesus.

Speaker 2 I would like to know.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So boom, Charlie and George are now roommates.

Speaker 2 And Myra's like, you know, he's, you know, Omar is sketchy, right? Like, Google him. Google him.
Okay.

Speaker 2 And Charlie's like, no, he's at a very legitimate company and I am contractually obligated to say that it's legitimate. She's like, oh, yeah.
I love being messy.

Speaker 1 So now people have monologues about how New York they are. And like, it's important to have friends.
And they do have friends friends because they're New Yorkers.

Speaker 2 That's what New York is all about. Ariana's like, well, I don't know that I would necessarily say that I'm a New Yorker, but I'm definitely on my way.

Speaker 1 Just before we go, I looked up Hook because I didn't remember seeing him on the show.

Speaker 2 So you this dork.

Speaker 1 Let me show you.

Speaker 1 This is Ava and Hook.

Speaker 2 God, I'm scared. I'm scared.
We've already been been through so much in 2025.

Douche.

Speaker 2 No, I'm sorry. Oh, best buy.
Hello.

Speaker 2 No, no. Ava, you can do so much better.
Why is she wasting her pretty, which she has so much of on this, on this guy? This is a no. This is a big no for me.

Speaker 1 I'm going to give the hook

Look at that picture.

Speaker 2 I'm standing by it. I don't care if he's a wrestler.
You can still be a wrestler and a douche.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah. I mean, I'm not saying he's not a douche.
I'm saying he's not scrawny because I said he's a scrawny. He's a scrawny.
