Summary

The BravBros hosts recap the Southern Hospitality season premiere, analyzing the fallout from the reunion between cast members, particularly the Trevor cheating rumor lie, Maddie's complicated relationships with Brad/TJ/Emmy/Will, and the rekindling of various friendships and conflicts as the cast reunites in Charleston.

Insights
  • Reality TV cast dynamics shift based on circumstantial alliances rather than genuine trust—Maddie aligning with Emmy despite their history demonstrates how common enemies create temporary bonds that lack foundation
  • Accountability messaging differs significantly between cast members: Brad's genuine confusion suggests he believed the conflict was resolved, while TJ's defensive posture indicates unresolved guilt and no intention to apologize
  • The show's strength lies in its workplace-based conflict model where cast members work together daily, creating organic drama distinct from typical Housewives-style social circle shows
  • Joe Bradley emerges as the emotional anchor and mediator, prioritizing relationship repair while maintaining boundaries—a role that prevents the cast from becoming entirely fractured
  • Fame and social media validation are beginning to affect cast behavior (Michael's infidelity, increased confidence), suggesting the show is entering a critical phase before potential decline in 2-3 years

I feel like these people were made for reality TV like I don't understand what this cast did Before they were on TV the joy I get from watching this and the fact that it's back. It's just God I can't even describe it. We're back As there's a drive in a deep left field by Castellanos. It will be a day to clock and so that'll make it a I don't need this spotlight. I shine just fine. Hi, I'm karma and yes, I am a bitch. Brav bros. Good evening everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Brav bros. Your favorite podcast from the bros for everybody for whoever wants to listen I'm your co-host steel Russell joined as always by the one and only Sir ween are good. What's up dude feels like fucking four years since we've talked about this show I they They did something to me in the beginning of this episode when they're going five back or five months back Six months later all this it was so convoluted I think they're trying to throw me off the scent because in my brain it's been two years since this show's been on And I don't think that's true. That's not true But it feels like it's been two goddamn long and I don't understand it I feel like we've gone through so many different phases of stupid ass shows. I've had to watch all of that shit No, see go down. I've had to watch all the shit in Atlanta go down all this shit going on in Southern charm and no We don't get a check in with Southern hospitality. Why why don't we get a check in so I think of reason because I felt the same I was like, oh yeah as as they're running through like the reunion and the offseason I'm like Jesus I forgot about all this stuff. We really haven't heard much out of them Since Will and Emmy got engaged. Yeah, my god. I can't wait to talk about them It is this is ludicrous what we have in front of us with this current cast and where they have all somehow fallen like Teams or whatever you want to call it is crazy. That's my point. It's perfect. How do they function? I don't understand. I really don't know how they function and I love that we basically just get like It's how a show should be honestly like you start off We want to know what happens because this is so different than a house wave show It's so different than even Southern charm because yeah, you know, they're gonna mingle They're gonna get into like business endeavors and shit together This cast hangs out all the time they work together every day So they have a lot of things going on and things are not exactly where they were six months prior to filming far from it So they're gonna spend and it's captivating too. That's the best part It's not just like bullshit like oh, yeah, you know, I was dating this girl and then we broke up Like I don't need to hear that she's not on the show. I don't really care It's no actually we were really good friends that we had a huge falling out and things are kind of in the same place that they Worth the reunion but they're really not and they're doing a really good job of telling us what happened how they feel How those months went by and it's just so goddamn captivating I agree and like it was confusing at times because we jumped around so much But it was all information that I was asking these questions and they were answering the questions I had Yep, we don't get that a lot so I was like Really really excited to go through this whole Preamble this montage like six months later and then it doesn't clarify as the episode starts if we're six months later six months back We don't know when we are they've dropped us off in this timeline somewhere But they've given us enough info that we know what's going on at least and so From the reunion on Obviously, we know what the reunion shit was weird Emmy and Will their master plan was to come out and tell Maddie that the Trevor hookup rumors Were not true thus sending her into a spiral thus protecting their own asses and thus getting them out of a lot of trouble Let's not forget why that happened. That's very important to me. Why they did that, okay? Now after the reunion we get back to the hotel Brad TJ and others corroborated by many granted this is a cast that likes to lie a lot as we're coming to find out Yeah, but it's one of those things where they like to lie a lot but all of the stories added up perfectly So either their masterliers they are because we try everything lined up really well the Trevor thing lined up perfectly And that's that's the thing with the Trevor thing like and we'll get into it later with you know where Maddie's at with it But like he was a terrible guy so it was loser It was an incredibly believe I fuck now I'm talking myself into it because it's an incredibly believable lie That he would be cheating on Maddie because he's done it before so she doesn't really need a whole lot of evidence to go off of to get to the point of Oh, you definitely cheated on me. We're done. I'm moving on now. She's with Joe. Yeah We might have a similar situation here between Molly corroborating with TJ and And Brad who overheard Emmy and Will talking was it Emmy's mom they were talking to me outlier though Because Molly doesn't even work at republic so I don't know Well, she did at the time. She did at the time. It's time a confessional I know not at the time the confessional, but that doesn't mean anything to these people. I am going under the guys of that actually that part happened I believe that part happened just based on the other lies that they were called it them being Maddie and Will Emmy and Will During their podcast that was the dumbest shit ever. I can't imagine Dude if by the way guys they wanted to come on our podcast not they just will and we said fuck no He's Mr. Safe. No, we said it's gonna be a tough conversation like we're not gonna give you softballs We're going to tell you exactly how we feel and we're gonna make you answer for shit And then we kept going we didn't hear back from them for weeks and I'll honestly is the season progressed and the reunion progressed We made our stances very clear on where we were with them Then he chimed back in is like hey, I don't really have any time to jump on but like yeah, I'll let you guys know if something pops back up And we didn't answer we're like all right, whatever like whatever like we don't care us do yeah You reached out to us and you found out that we weren't gonna nick vile you and then you went another way which I Then even try to start a podcast beef. I don't like obviously they have no this is more followers than we do like I'm not saying that or anything. I just do not understand for the life of me And we've said this before and it does not have to be us. That's not my implication here How did that become the go-to for when shit pops off? I don't know so many better podcasts well I have a problem with it when Good people go on that show like we saw what happened when Austin went on that show and the whole fall out from that with all the questions that they asked like They're just not good people any and we'll go on that show mixed total sense And I think it right in I guess we know the line of questioning We know the interview tactics that they use they're very easy to just kind of swim over you can quote him quote Like reimagine who you are and try to heme sand of all during Yeah, I know and like they were but they weren't it's just they're very consistent with they will just love whoever they're interviewing Sistently not doing their job correct. Yeah, so it's a very easy interview process So of course they're gonna go on there because they can quote unquote tell their story without a lot of Interjections without a lot of pushback from the people who are interviewing so the two of them going on that show made total Sense to me doesn't mean that I have to be okay with like going back to that clip every five seconds No, I like we know what happened there and I think the the thing I was pointing out by the way is in that interview He said he didn't go on stage because it would be a blood bath Now a week prior at the reunion they use the mental health thing which we called bullshit on everyone watching called bullshit on So that leads me to believe that when they're walking back in the hotel and he's not a quiet person That they probably did hear him and that sounds like I can hear wills little like Giggle you know that fucking stupid he I I really don't tackle yeah the cackle Yeah, it's like a belly over and then you got his is fucking crazy fiancee just Co-signing everything regardless of what's going on. I'm gonna play devil's advocate I do actually believe that what Brad T.J. and Molly are all saying is true. I agree But there is a world in which they did over here them talking shit on Brad and T.J. Yeah And Molly even maybe like you know just kind of by proxy But they could have added in that whole first thing just like oh you guys are gonna talk shit on us Brad shows the text message that he sent to them You didn't really reference the whole master plan They could have just thrown that in in the beginning and just said you know what? Well, we'll just throw this in there too We'll say that this was their whole master plan They were gonna spin it and use Maddie to get a lot of the heat off of them I I'm okay with it But on the heels of lying to Maddie for an entire season about Trevor cheating on her. It's not a great look Now we're gonna need more evidence if we're gonna say that that actually happened No, I and I'm not I do genuinely believe what we're being told right now I do too for now and I would imagine that that will come up at some point so we can Save total judgment for then but it just sets the stage of this absolutely disastrous friend group right now There's so many people mad at each other obviously Maddie is upset with Brad and TJ because they were involved with this whole Trevor thing So we're Emmy and Will By the way, which is very important for later, but that that's how we start we start the episode We start with stuff that didn't even happen on camera correct great Phenomenal and they do a really good job. Honestly, and that's I don't even know if it's credit to the cast or credits of producers They do a great job of painting a great picture for us. I know I have no questions. Yeah me either that was what I was saying I have all these questions in my head and they're just answering them after the other so It was a great intro, but then I get confused again because it's like six months later We get a montage of like people crying and people yelling and Emmy having yet another Episode is what I'm gonna start calling them where she I can't breathe in the table Yeah, I'd be like she even says at the end of this episode like hey, they're not worth it I'm not gonna even think about them I'm not worried about them. I'm like okay Yeah, and all the scenes that we see of you crying throughout the season wills not there So shocker shocker, but yeah, you're gonna go through with the marriage. That's gonna go super well You won't be there at the marriage either. Yeah You're getting a glimpse into the future Yeah, just don't sign a prenup and try to take a good move back into the apartment back in like university Southern California or South Carolina. Oh, he can't he's got his other chicks roommate there. Yeah, yeah His other girl's standing in the place to crash come on Jean yeah, what am I gonna do send her out on the street? Yeah, the futons a little yeah, it's a little janky You know my buddy come on where was I supposed to sleep? I'm not gonna sleep in my own bed Got a lot of classes tomorrow. Yeah, I got a sleep for my classes tomorrow on I got to go to the ball tomorrow night with this chick. Oh the Debbie Tons ball Debbie Tons ball where he took this girl to that ball And yet we are going to totally look at the other night. Yeah, who cares? Like it's just so it brings back Sony fun memories too because now I'm remembering that they threw a prom party last year To try to make fun of Will for taking the girl to prom at South Carolina I can't fucking figure out what state they're in South Carolina. I'm having a hard Charleston South Carolina I'm having a university of South Carolina. I'm just gonna call it game coclan game coclan game coclan We from coclan come from whist coclan game coclan Anyway six months later and we arrive in Charleston. I believe we're back in time At this juncture. I don't think this is six months later That's where I wish they hit us with the six months earlier because I got this is how my brain works But I believe that the montage we saw was what we're going to see this season And now we're starting at the beginning. Okay, you guys all with me great. Let's dive in so we're in Charleston and The first confessional we get is Emmy and she's like you know since New York I don't talk to TJ Brad at all and it's sad TJ was my gay bestie and Brad was like a big brother, but once you show your true colors piece out motherfucker You're stupid. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm okay with it like look. This is the thing I'd rather her be like this than like one toe in one toe out Hey great. I mean like I don't want you to do that Will they won't they because they'll just spend the entire season doing that where she'll keep going back to her confessional talking about I gave him another chance. I thought we were gonna be friends again And we're still like we are probably gonna hear that but at least if she's all the way on the other end of the spectrum I'm fine with that. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. At least she's picking a stance But Maddie is coming back to Charleston. She's been on as we know she had like her 40s plus city tour Multiple shows multiple cities a weekend. She's been on like buses and the side of buildings It was like a big deal. So like we said when she said but I thought she meant like sleeping on buses No, I mean, I'm sure that she was yeah, but like I think within that context when she was talking about it Thought she was talking on buses. She did kind of merge it now that I'm thinking about it Yeah, she did kind of merge because she was advertised on the side of buildings and billboards and buses But she was also staying in those buildings and wow she that said wow double on tundra I guess What's that on tundra's we're only sex. I guess not. Yeah, I guess we just proved that wrong. Yeah, maybe we didn't maybe don't know what I'm talking to her means Yeah, I don't know Where are we friends? It's gotta be about sex the freaks She's so surprised But anyway, she's back in Charleston. It just so happens to coincide right with filming What crazy we're getting close then you know we are We're getting close to the vpr line They're starting to get more famous. They're starting to get real One or two of them are going to do that. That's fine It's when all of them have too much money then it's like okay, and then there's that like stalemate period Yeah, they all have money and it's like you You can still act like this and you're doing a good job But you're gonna get to a point where it's gonna be heavily produced. We got three years Yeah, I think so three years before it turns for the worst But enjoy it while we can now the thing is Charleston though versus LA good point If they stay in Charleston to continue to film the show southern charm If they're just gonna be Greg and Austin opening a bar. Yeah, like we're gonna have michael's and tj opening a bar or something That's actually a good point. See, you know, I'm okay with that. Okay. All right. There's hope for the future Now michael's this commenting on all of this obviously, you know Joe Being Joe has not been at work She's the least surprising news ever. He's been touring around with Maddie when he can make sense go live your life Who gives a shit but Brad and tj are talking and we got service coming up. So we're just meeting everybody back in the restaurant for the first time and On his way in he relistened to the vial files. We had to watch the clip of the vial files again and It's just more fallout, but obviously I didn't listen to that podcast because I don't want to I had no idea That they imply on that podcast that tj took advantage of Joe while he was drunk. Yeah, I'm surprised that we didn't stay on that longer Yeah, I think fucking deal. They spend some time on it last season because they were Implying that that happens, but they never really got that far and then when they got to the podcast Then they were just plainly saying thing right so it might just be a matter of of course They're gonna fucking retaliate and obviously tj's gonna feel some type of way about it Joe it seems like obviously he's dating Maddie so he's in a much better place He's not spending a whole lot of time on it But I mean it obviously sucks for tj I mean in the midst of all of this like yeah, of course you expect Emium will to go on a rampage and start talking shit like they're gonna get on these weird ass podcasts and be able to say whatever they want So you're expecting all of that fallout, but this is one of those things. It's like why is this being brought into it? I don't know it's it's crazy. It sucks dude. It sucks for tj and When we heard of that whole situation like it didn't sound like anybody got taken advantage of it sound like You know a confusing time for Joe and some stuff happened. Yeah, but there was never the impolition time for everyone Yeah, but it wasn't like a bad night Yeah, and then we also watched them address it together and it was a powerful scene It was powerful and probably still confusing for both of them. So whatever that's for them That's their thing though.

She's a Hawaii getting married or wedded wedded. She's at a wedged No, she's not getting that's the guy she broke up with She's single now. Yeah, so it's the same guy I had that they might get engaged correct I had to try to figure this whole fucking thing out because I was very confused because I knew going into the season that she was now single again Right, so I'm like oh cool. She moved back to Charleston. She's gonna be on it and as soon as tj says that I'm like are we doing this again with me? I love me. I think she's great for the show. Same and if she's not gonna be present again. Why is she still on the show? Getting it's just a trip. I know but I still have issues because the entire back half of the first season She really wasn't there. Yeah, the entire second season she wasn't there and that's you know Obviously she was doing a beauty pageant down in Bahamas But this I was like what are we doing? Yeah, but I have hope because I we not you know It sucks that she broke up with the guy but she's gonna move back to Charleston So she should be in this season. I would hope we need her on this show. We do. Yeah, she's like the voice of reason She will stand up to anybody. She has no issues trying to resolve situations like you need that she's a jack of all trades Like she can do anything in any moment. That's perfect for the show. I agree. I agree But I guess the Molly fallout has also affected lake lake is friends with most Michael both both Michael's and Molly so now she's feeling the whole thing so she's outside and Molly decides hey, let's go for a quick chat Didn't love the tone Molly came in a little hot there and lakes trying to tell her side of it You're not really letting her talk and you call her a kindergartener that being said Michael's comes out in a blind rage. Yeah, this was a weird thing that unfolded I I agree with you. I think that Molly took the wrong tone sure But it does seem like lake was of the thinking that she was just ignoring her Molly wasn't like big leagueing her in her mind When it gets back to michael's when lake goes back over it's she's like yelling at me So Michael says she's yelling at me. She wasn't yelling. Yeah, she wasn't she wasn't yelling it all honestly And I think that the conversation eventually probably would have been fine Yeah, but it didn't last long enough because it was all of my work I can't be doing this which is always such a funny little thing to have on that I mean this show But michael's was already seeing red because lake goes and gets him in the manager's office to tell him He's like I just know I don't fucking care But he still comes out to go check so he does care a little bit Well, that's when he clearly cares right after yeah And lakes like she was yelling at me and he like kicks the door open shoves a man we haven't met yet Yeah, who's Justin will meet him in a little bit on stolen offense about him shoves him out of the way and gets him Molly's face and He yelled yep that was yelling and that's the side of michael's like we really haven't seen much of So to start off the season like that was like oh shit It was funny. Yeah, it was great. I was like whoa. I mean like look I'm not gonna condone a guy yelling in a girl's face of course But when he starts saying things like you're gonna get banned from this club Which we find out a little bit later. He doesn't have hiring firing power. He can't ban people But he also goes I'm gonna go grab the cops right now if you don't welcome and say what? What are you gonna do? She's here. It's just a great threat. I love that thread But it's just an empty thread because what are they gonna do yeah, but It's like I said again. It's a side of michael's we haven't really seen my first thought was oh I've seen people get suspended for less than this true I wonder what's gonna happen and Lowen behold lev is at the restaurant. So we get a conversation between those two I Think she has a soft spot for michael's and I understand you know, he's a very charm and fella But she pretty much just like checks him like dude We can't be having that you can't be letting your anger get the best of you at this restaurant I know it's a lot. We're gonna be fine get back out there champ So everything seems to be pretty mellowed out In a little bit we're gonna get to that conversation with michael's and molly and that is one of the main reasons why I love this show so much Yeah, but we'll save it for for a little later because we got to go into a sensory deprivation tank to die Because like we follow emir I follow any I'm not really sure she has like some sort of partnership with this It's like every day. It's constant like I'm at the sweat house meant the sweat house meant the sweat house We're going to sweat house. We are going to the sweat house. We are for sure going to the sweat house and we'll do this This is we'll talk about southern charm another day, but this is fine The I'm okay with this type of stuff. This isn't like holistic healing. Okay. This is more you know Some of the stuff ice baths. Yeah, that's cool by me But I'm not surprised that this is the first thing that we get together I was surprised that immediately maddie walks in. I'm like wait a minute. Where are you guys? Best friends. Yeah, I didn't see that coming Yeah, and now because up until now I pretty much just been getting all of you up the speed as well Now we can dive into something because what the fuck like what is happening right now? And I understand the common enemy kind of thing. It's like you know, they burned Will and me and they burned you too maddie It is such horses that they get to use that now And say they did the same thing to me and will yeah, no, they didn't that's not the same thing the Trevor thing Objectively is fucked up right like yeah, he was a loser and a douchebag and driving a bike taxi No shade to bike taxi men out there. You're probably a lot cooler than Trevor But that's not the same situation will we have pretty substantial evidence against you Multiple times the only evidence we have that you didn't cheat Is you saying I didn't do it yeah other than that we got plenty of people that have seen it corroborated it Senior with women you were in the bathroom at Oshina's apartment With another woman because you were quote-unquote consoling each other So this is not the same situation. I'm I'm wondering Where maddie's that because I know that she's got a lot going on she's been very open with some of her struggles I'm curious with everything that happened at the reunion obviously hitting her like a ton of bricks understandably so She's been having anxiety going to therapists trying to deal with this whole thing Is that is this friendship a product of that where it's like I feel like I can trust Will and Emmy at least because they came clean about this whole thing And I don't know who I can trust right now. I don't think it's trust at all honestly I really don't think it's trust I think you hit the nail on the head with the common enemy thing But I do also think that there is a weird gray area in there and we talk about it a little bit later at the end of the episode Where Emmy and maddie were not friends So anything that was going on between the two of them when they weren't friends and they were mortal enemies Is kind of by the wayside now because it's like yeah, all right you were doing that because I was mad at you I was doing things. I don't give a shit if it should be or not I have a theory not a theory, but like I have a reason why I'm okay with all of this It's it's fine because again when maddie has time to decompress and everything happens and you know We get into a little bit later with what happened right after the reunion where it seems like everything squashed I mean obviously she's gonna come back and start thinking about what happened and it's genuinely fucked up So then she can talk to other people that were involved but weren't actively doing it necessarily And it's like okay, yeah, let me talk to Emmy about this. I don't think they're best friends I don't think there's a lot of trust there I don't think that maddie because maddie's a smart girl I don't think that she's gonna trust Emmy and Will in any way But it's a good person to at least talk to and have surface level conversations about Until it gets to another point now the reason that I'm fully okay with it I went into this season thinking we were just gonna have Every awkward encounter with Emmy Probably not will I don't even know if he's on the show at all. I really hope not I really hope not, but it's gonna be Emmy versus everyone and eventually that's gonna get a little tired Yeah, if you put maddie with Emmy even if it's just a circumstantial lineup That's fine. That's that's even teams as far as I'm concerned because maddie can hold her own against four or five different people You throw Emmy in there. Maybe she won't have as many crash outs. I'm good with that It works out for the show really well. Yeah, I guess you're right I just I like when maddie's on the good side So to see her on team. I don't think there is good side in bed Because if you say good side then you're going over to Brad and TJ who's lied to maddie for an entire year about Yeah, cooler and more fun They're cooler and more fun for sure, but is that the good side? There is no moral good. We can do the whole Compisting okay, where it's like moral good moral chaotic all of that They're all kind of just scattered around yeah, but they're cooler and more fun to hang out. It's that's a different thing We'll do that compass another time. Okay, we get that fucking weightboard in here. I know we need one desperately But yeah, they I don't know that I think that you Nailed it with that where it's like common enemy. They're able to discuss this stuff She has somebody to talk about this shit with yeah, somebody that was close to the situation Did you know do some things in the situation or just it's complicit as everyone else but oh correct Yeah, complicit is the key word there because TJ and Brad were the ones who actively did it Yeah, so it's like okay, let me try to bounce some ideas because he could only talk to Joe so much TJ was only in the group chat. He didn't do anything Yeah, I Guarantee you TJ did some shit probably. I'm just saying I'm just basing it off of what we know of TJ And what he's gotten himself in the top of the years He's a thousand percent in pop-tom I just really don't like Will and Emmy, so I'm trying to get it And I like off of their team. Yeah, no, that's fine I don't I don't that's the other thing I don't think Maddie being friends with Emmy is going to make Emmy and Will somewhat likeable. No It's gonna make Maddie our like no, it's not gonna make I'm gonna root for Maddie in every regard I'm cool with Maddie Maddie's probably the coolest person on the show. So I'm good with her She can do whatever the hell she wants everybody else. It's like all right. We'll see what you guys do It's gonna be interesting to see where the lines fall who lands on what side and everything and the Joe Bradley aspect that's where it gets really interesting because Joe just wants to get over it. He misses his friends. Yeah, and of course He's concerned about Maddie and wants them to actually apologize But he's not going to hold it. He has no intention of holding a grudge. No, he just wants it cleaned up He wants Maddie to feel good to feel respected to get her apology clear the air and be able to hang out with his friends without Maddie getting mad at him And praying out with his friends for the most part Yeah, and I think honestly the majority of this episode he does a really good job of that I thought he did too. He did a nice job telling the line and That's kind of my saving grace here of getting the group back together Is the Joe Bradley aspect because he's gonna keep pushing But he's doing it at least for now in a good way like you said where he's like guy Like because the dudes get up too off the rails. He's like whoa, whoa, he checks him. Yeah, I actually appreciate it He's got his priorities in order. He does. He's got Maddie's back first. Yep But he is trying to get to an amicable place. Mm-hmm, and that's really what you expect growth Joe Bradley. Hey Now love can do strange things to a man had a boy Joey I just I have an issue and then we can move on from the the salt tank But I don't like that Maddie is just agreeing with certain statements such as Emmys like well, you know will and I We were involved like we we weren't we knew we were involved like they knew and they did it I'm not saying you have to go after I know she's your only friend right now to talk about this with But the complete acceptance of that answer without any like Well you guys knew he didn't say I know we weren't talking but they're the I guess that's why I'm having such a hard time. What was that? They're in the same boat. They did the same things. Mm-hmm. It's just because they technically weren't friends It's such a like an asterisk on this thing. Yeah, yeah I just think that the way that they went about it like and we see the clip where Emmy walked over to the girl that Trevor supposedly cheated on Maddie with She was doing those things she was Prepetuating the rumor so to speak she was asking more questions and trying to get it out there and then talking to other people about it I imagine the whole group was doing that So I do think that's enough for Maddie's like okay like yeah, you were involved But like you didn't plant the rumor. I'm going after those who planted the rumors We are splitting hairs, but at the end of the day and look You can argue as much as you want about who Trevor is and what that relationship was gonna be Maddie does know who Trevor was He didn't cheat this time, but in that regard When she broke up with him because he was quote-unquote cheating on her she probably felt really empowered She's like finally I'm getting the fuck out of here I see this guy for who he is and then immediately that comes crashing down That's right even though he is a piece of shit and he probably was cheating on her This instance that she actually the straw that broke the camel's back that got her enough power to get the fuck out of there Now it's kind of all gone so she's gonna question a lot of things. That's right This is probably part of that with you know, where is Emily and Will not even Will where's Emily's allegiance I'm actually gonna leave Will out of this one. Yeah, let's just leave Will out the whole season. Yeah, fuck Will Okay, now we can move on we got boys night in the poker room Little speak easy action going on and I like the vibes with the boys. I feel like we're in a good spot Obviously the elephant in the room is the Maddie situation, but I thought it was whether or not Joe's dad thinks he's gay That's I mean TJ's line of like his dad started the rumor is the funniest. Yeah, it's incredible Yeah, it sounds like that if your dad thinks you're gay because he like art like that's that's a tough hill to climb If you do anything even remotely artistic or feminine you're probably gay. Yeah, okay cool Just making sure but they just they seem to get along really well Justin were introduced to him. He was kind of Bopping around the world. He's from Charleston. Try to find a place Called TJ after you got broken up with and moved back down to Charleston So he's into this group now. I'm on the fence about him Because he feels like another oh sheen kind of that kind of vibe. He very well could be I think he's somewhere between He's probably closer to Austin who doesn't look like he's on the show anymore I'm okay with I didn't like Austin anyway I think he's probably closer to that maybe a little bit more likable than Austin. I don't think he's oh she was terrible Oh, she was awful. I just more meant like the um worry that he might be yeah like the ladies man like You know not with milk hopefully this time But you know what though everybody's reaction while we're going through his whole backstory Everybody talking about him is like yeah, he just kind of looks like he's pretty attracted But he might need another shower. He looks gross. Yeah, so I don't think he's gonna be that like overzealous like ladies man Like we've seen in the past that's my only hang up because I liked them With all the other like he seems to get along really well with the group And he seems to fit in with everybody So like I liked a lot of the things I saw from I just got that little tinge of like oh, I don't want to go down that path I agree But there's a big wrinkle in this whole story here because They're asking Joe like how the Maddie update Brad's under the impression that they're good mm-hmm because at the reunion he did take accountability And then after the fact they all went out Maddie went up to him apparently and was like hey I don't want to talk about the Trevor shit anymore. Let's just agree to move on Okay, to me that's squashed mm-hmm, right? That's the dude's perspective. Yeah. Yeah, so I'm assuming that that's squashed could it Have a follow-up conversation probably at some point Brad but Thrall intents and purposes you can at least chalk up. Okay. She's not mad at me anymore. Yeah, right? You can take that away from it. I think yeah, I mean look I don't really fault Brad for thinking that this just screams to me And there's a lot of nuances to it. This isn't a situation a classic reality TV situation I'm gonna hold on to these feelings until we start filming and then I'm gonna pop off we've seen that a million times This is more us seeing how emotional Maddie was at the reunion mm-hmm right after the reunion She's probably fucking drained Let's move on. I don't want to talk about this at all anymore. We're good. Whatever. I don't care Let's go have fun in New York and then when she comes back as we know she was going the 40 cities She was jumping all around so she was keeping herself busy and not thinking about it But probably also thinking about it by the time she gets back she's got her head in a complete pretzel Why did this happen? Why did they do this? I don't really understand and I'm questioning everything So I'm completely fine with where she lies because that makes total sense to me And it also kind of makes sense as a dude where Brad is because like you said she squashed it like we're good I texted her and congratulated her on 11 years being sober She sent me a really nice message back. We're good. Everything's fine like I we don't hang out all the time But it seems like everything's cool and if she had a problem she would bring something up She wasn't really there if she was living in Charleston the whole summer And they didn't say anything and you guys were seeing each other all the time and then it was brought back up first episode I'd have a problem with that This doesn't smell like any of that situation No, and that's kind of where it gets confusing because like you said you haven't been around The text chain Seems to exonerate Brad or at least be like you guys are cool again Yeah, so I understand and later on when she's talking it gets more confusing when she confronts them at the bar Now TJ Seems to be a different story. Yeah, TJ seems like there's been no resolve whatsoever And as we see later TJ still holding on to the well, I didn't do anything which is not the right approach Yeah So we'll see how that one shakes out, but yeah with the Brad part I was like, oh okay Well Brad seemed like genuinely confused That's why I fully believe that he was like wait It's a squash we're good. I agree TJ didn't have that same feel about him when Joe was bringing this up And this is where I'm talking about Joe being a good boyfriend and having his priorities in order We haven't really seen that in the past where he's like, hey whoa whoa whoa whoa No, we're gonna do this like we do have to have a discussion It's just the pushback that he gets from Brad. It's genuine confusion from TJ It's why the fuck would we do that? So it's a little bit of both, but he's standing his ground So yeah, no and I give him boyfriend of the year award right there Yeah, Joe did a good job. I mean translating it too madty It sounds like he threw both of them under the bus, but I don't really fault him for that No, that's not the way we're Information and obviously that's gonna be on camera So you want to make sure that you dot your eyes cross your teeth Make sure you're not gonna get it I think he would be doing this camera or not No, I can't Man his head overheels I agree and we've seen this out of him I'm just saying like that's another aspect to think about It's like you know, yeah, make sure you you cover your tracks kind of deal But I like that Brad's like what do I have to do? And Joe's like respect me and go talk to her It's like Hey guys nice. I like this And this is why or one of the many reasons I love this show Because Michaels and Molly meet in a park It sounds like a nursery rhyme And immediately the vibes are okay Molly's like feels like I'm sitting now in the next And they're kind of smiling But they're after what we saw at Republic where legitimately Molly said that she was traumatized by getting yelled at Michaels blacked out and doesn't remember doing it really He just saw red That's not what we're seeing on this bench Okay, we just haven't really talked let's let's air some shit out And in five minutes they're best friends again They're able to both talk about their sides of what they viewed What the conflict was the conflict goes back to Preston who Molly's friends with Molly was taking Preston's side because from her perspective only talking to Preston And yeah, maybe she should have talked to Michaels at some point Furthering that relationship furthering that friendship But if she's closer to Preston, I'm going to leave it there From what Preston is saying He was based my Michaels is basically cheating on him Yes, and I love this too because this is so fucking funny Because Michaels was such like a buttoned up like very polished man I'm gonna just go to work and I'm gonna work and I'm gonna do my best And that's pretty much what we saw all the last season Here the fame got to is had a little Yeah, I love that too That's incredible And look from Michaels perspective too We watched him he had a really hard time last year talking about All of the personal details he went into like his dad He was talking about coming out I'm nobody new he was coming out Like all of the things that really went into it This is mom was the big one Yeah, his mom was a big one So he had a lot of things and now he's gotten to a point We're in Charleston we know everything about Charleston Watching his other charm He's at a point where everybody knows that he's out Everybody knows that he's gay And they're okay with it Not only that he's got hot dudes Lusting after him He's are knocking So from Michaels perspective And he was doing that like yeah Beginning of the relationship Like we would break up We were broken up We would get back together We try to figure things out And like in the interim Yeah, I mean it was making out with dudes Like that fuck yeah You were because guess what The fame went to your head a little bit You got some hot dudes knocking on your door Why not Go after it So I love that that's his perspective Because that's really funny And it kind of grounds him And takes him away from the big dead manager role Where he is part of this mess He really is part of this mess And it's great Because he's able to get through a lot of this And when we talk between Molly and Michaels They're both able to say their piece Without the other one interjecting And jumping down their throat And then you go to the confession I was like yeah I'm not really sure if I believe him But like whatever It's okay Perfect Now she really says I'm going to take his word for it Yeah That's not what I heard But yeah It would have been out of her It's fine And like the fact that she says to him She's like Yeah I mean I was talking mad shit And they're just like high five We're good Hell yeah That's what we want to see We don't need to get stuck on shit Especially stuff we didn't see Correct So the other conversations The fired conversation Which we already heard from Leva Why she got let go And again We heard from Michaels saying I'm going to ban you And love it being like That's not really your thing And we are not in the business of banning people anyway He doesn't have the power to do that No he doesn't No Iron firing power doesn't have it So yeah Again that's when she goes to the confession Like well I heard different They but I'm going to take his word for it It's like I don't think that he Would have anything to do with being fired No it also we know where Leva comes from Leva's whole background is through Southern charm She's not going to tell Molly That She's not going to clarify No she's going to fire Bye You can put two and two together No I just been I've been hearing a lot of things There's a lot of things going on right now Like we're going to have to let you go Do you want to try to dig a little deeper on that one No not really Go back to your day job We'll see you at the event planner See you tonight Yeah Filming starts Yeah bring a couple friends Yeah you're good Great bye But let's get to Sir Weinerz And I'm stoked for TJ That this thing really I love Sir Weinerz Yeah it's all unbelievable No we didn't get a box I know It's because we're a little falter I don't either We're repairing our relationship with TJ Is that why No I was going to I said I wasn't going to falter Because like he's trying to get the business off the ground No I remember last year like No we were talking a little shit Because some shit needed to be talked And we're definitely good now I'm just saying like I understand if that was a reason Why we didn't get a box Possibility It would be a reason Yeah We love you TJ But we're at Sir Weinerz And the Weenebiz is a rockin You know he's had these sundays At Levas Or at Republic for a while now And it seems like he's really taken off He's got like 10,000 followers on Instagram now For hot dogs That's pretty

don't want to see the guy You know Hey let me Make sure it's two pictures Yeah maybe a thousand words But I want to watch a video We We saw him on camera last season I don't remember that Okay Anyway G-Lily Who Has had an interesting year Maybe got arrested right after this Was it after I thought No I thought it was Oh it was definitely like It was right after they finished filming I think This season Yeah Oh that's not good I thought this was her like getting her shit together No Oh This is the spiral They finished film That's the other thing that we have to look forward to We'll know when they're going to be done the season Because Joe invited us to the party Oh that's right For his birthday which was like August I think Yeah it sounds right So when we start getting close to the emo party at the end For Joe's birthday That's the end of the season We know we're close to August And G-Lily's thing was in like My little October now Yeah yeah I The best part about that Is her response So she posted modeling pictures Yeah I know A bitch got a live She's great But she's into tarot cards now So she's still trying to figure out Where her lot in life is She's really a sin Yeah Because she knew There was a minister at her nail salon Sounds like a sin to me too Tarot cards No getting your nails done As a minister We need split hairs with this stuff You're picking shoes You know Yeah sometimes that's a sin Sometimes not a sin Make up scripture You know The works Yeah paganism Yeah I like what it is Who knows Who knows Well never know I will not ever know But Maddie and Joe Are on their way to the party And that's when we hear That Joe told her about The boys night And that she was very surprised To hear that Brad and TJ Were combative about the whole thing Again I think that we can lean on Brad confused TJ combative Yes Right So She is talking herself down On the way there And we've seen a Maddie Reese Escalation And they can get pretty hairy So she's trying to avoid that As she's going into work Joe's like All right we got this bib We're going to be great Don't freak out And we get two serweeners We're back at the weeners And there's a cheater weener So here's my thing Mm-hmm The cheater weener is obviously will Because TJ names his weeners after castmates Correct I do not understand I get that You and Emmy are hanging out now I get that they are your Quarantin quote safe-ish space Getting through this whole thing Because they're not part of the other group That does not completely wipe everything Cleaned where you're like This is so you guys are getting married So now you're just going to forget All the things that you personally know about I think it's more just the word Cheat popped up And it was from TJ And she saw red Okay I think that's all it was Because I really don't Again I'm not really putting a lot of effort into thinking Maddie has Emmy's back in any regards That's where I'm getting confused Yeah I just don't see that happening And look I might be proven wrong It's happening I just I don't think that that's what this is I think that Maddie walked in Salt cheating Doesn't give a fuck that it's about will Just sees TJ made a cheater weener And he's in the midst of this whole fucking drama About saying the Trevor cheated That's it like it's still all about her Okay It's all about her And she still obviously has a lot of disdain for TJ So it's just all kind of coming to a head I think Emmy walked in Saw that and was like Yeah can you believe that And she just thinks that her and Maddie are like close And she can do things like that Like it's us against the world right now We're gonna figure this whole thing out I think this is all about Maddie still Yeah I'm no Okay All right I'm not there I want to be there Okay I really want to be there with you I might we might flip flop at some point Perhaps Because I need more evidence But right now it's just I can't wrap my head around Maddie immediately being like You know what That makes me feel better Because that's my thing I can't understand it Yeah I'm thinking the opposite You're on the other end Yeah yeah yeah I can't imagine Maddie in the off season It was like You know what maybe Emmy and Will were right It's like no No that doesn't make sense It can be true I just don't think that she's thinking that I think she's only thinking about her own situation With TJ and Brad Okay That's the only thing that's really coming to brain I really really hope so I want to be in your camp Because I don't like my camp Yeah I don't like her camp either Yeah it's kind of a bit stings It's a shower or something What am I just in Yeah Oh get a shower for my camp Not take a shower I thought you were calling me dirty No Anywho Let's go back to the Weiner party Cheater Weiner, Maddie's upset Emmy How many professionals did we see last season Or conversations with somebody Where she tried to give the appearance Of being unbothered A lot Most of them I believe every other episode Here's another one Yeah She's like The way she talks too I know I really just I just Maddie's still upset I don't care Yeah I don't think At least like I had the best time of my life We went to France We got engaged I don't care what any of the haters are saying I'm like you don't have any friends left No What's going on That's why you're so happy that Maddie's here Yeah you have a circumstantial friend In Maddie That's it No you're good in there You're getting there You're getting bolded Yeah but no A circumstantial friend Does not fix the other issue I agree that it's slowly working there No no that's right where I've been Yeah I trust me The minute that I see anything I'm jumping on the other side of this thing Because I cannot understand Everything is just Clean slate between Emmy will Fuck not will Emmy Yeah from away Yeah through them Over there I just I It doesn't compute My brain is Over working I've been getting really good at You might call a lobotomy So I can try that on now Can part mentalizing Nope Lobotomy Yeah what do you mean Open you up and take it out That sounds like a different thing Does it um Brad Brad is dating somebody Julie Julie Yep Julia Julie Yeah yeah My question is They've been dating for a year Which is good I feel like Anytime Brad has a love interest Brad has other love interests I don't know they're still together Oh good I will rescind that This might be the end of that So when he says like when I saw her Like I knew that she was the one I wanted to Okay nice Brad Yep I apologize Sorry It's just he's been the lover boy Oh it's fair honestly If we didn't have social media We'd be thinking that for sure Yeah all right so I'm not a dick But anyway During the party Maddie and Emmy have to work the party Which is actually kind of funny And they're handing out cheater winners And he's like You want a hot dog? They suck You want to get sick tomorrow Here eat this Doesn't taste good The level of petty Is just chef's kiss Yeah it's unbelievably incredible Like yeah yeah what's on this I don't f*** As Cheetos dust and like Weenere sauce I don't know what the fuck this is Like it sucks Just Do you want it or not I don't care Do whatever you want The funniest part of this whole thing Is just And this is good producing Playing over and over All the things that me Was saying to earth reunion And then looking over at the cutout Which cutouts are just back in a big way After summer house I got no I'm here Cutouts everywhere Looking at me as thing I'm like Ah are they Why are they doing that? Like me as not even here Knocks at the f*** over Walks away You guys want to name this sh** Nah I'm gonna dump this whole thing out My favorite is Not only knocking down the cutout But also that people Are saying as she describing them That sounds really good It's not Yeah Okay That one guys If you want one he's like Ah no actually Not anymore Yeah I'm fine thanks I did but But the party goes They get done There's an after party TJ's inviting people Joe again Is trying to find a way forward Joe was so f***ing great Cause I know this move I know like You're mad at these people But like The after party is gonna be fun I don't want to go But like it's a great opportunity Through eating clear the air Like we can have a little like sit down We can talk and just try to figure things out But like we should We're going to that after party Like I got my cool like sweater top on I'm ready to roll Like really good I spent like 45 minutes doing my hair I got more volume I'd take in two hours You've got the snooki cut Yeah he's just like Spending so much time getting ready for this after party And she's like I don't want to f***ing go to that You can see like the life leave his body like Oh All right Are we gonna go home What do you mean? Anything else we can do Like I'm just ready to go out Come on No I'm going the f*** home TJ walks over Right during this conversation No camera work here at all This is just TJ walking right over Hey I just really want to thank you guys for coming I know you didn't really want to work today But like I really appreciate you guys being here That was a good move It is a good move And I guess If he had more time I don't think he would have gotten into it But like on the heels of the conversation That we had a boys night Maybe there's a world In which this is just the beginning of a conversation He was going to say go away Further I thought he was too He didn't No he actually went the other way Yeah Because Maddie brings it up She asked Sim about it Like you know I wish there was plenty of times That we could have had a conversation And I agree with her And she hasn't had any kind of resolve with TJ apparently So that's a different story entirely TJ Pretty much not having any of it I don't know what the f*** you're talking about I can show you a horrible text from her about you And that's where I'm like Waving my hands I'm like that's my point Yeah Two things can be true Emmy standing next to you Smirking like an asshole Because she's scot free She's involved with all of this shenanigans And this is where we are We're just at opposite ends right now Because I took that as I don't care about Emmy I don't give a f*** about Emmy I care about this No she pointed to Emmy and goes she's the only one that told me the truth That's just I just don't buy it I told you the truth because she was out on an island With her dickhead fiance And wanted to find somebody to drag out their weather Yeah She found you That's pretty much what happened But this whole thing just completely boils over And this is the best way to figure out where everybody is Yeah Because TJ's going in And like you said there's no resolve there There hasn't been any resolve He has no reason to be like You know what? Like What am I apologizing for? He probably should apologize But he's like What am I f***ing apologizing for? We're at odds right now I don't need to apologize This isn't how this works Brad walks over He's like I heard my name What's going on? What Why are you still mad at me? I thought we were cool I thought we were cool You said we were cool after the reading That's a dude brain That is a dude brain at heart Time out How it works No Why? This is different Only because of what Maddie says She's like, oh no, actually I really appreciate your accountability That was really great Like we were But She only had an issue with him Based on the fact that he was apparently combative at the boys night Mm-hmm But that's not what she's like That's like it's convincing That's wrongly Yeah But that's also like Earlier she's like Brad and I are not okay Like we have no resolve So like I feel bad for Brad Because we've heard three different things We've heard Brad say they're cool We've heard Maddie say they're not And we've heard Maddie say they were I don't know if accountability and being cool Is the same thing though Now we're splitting hairs like really But I do think I think Brad is an easy one to like figure out I think if Brad had had that Or had walked up first Yeah They would have been cool And this I think also got lost in translation Because we weren't privy to the conversation That Joe and Maddie had after boys night Yeah We probably should have been To be honest Like maybe they wanted to leave us wondering what Joe actually said But I don't think that Joe would come back to Maddie Trying to further instigate Like any sort of situation No I don't think he was instigating it I don't think he was at all And I don't think that he would have If anything I think he would have dumbed down the reaction That's true To try to make it seem like there's still hope But something got lost in translation We don't know who's at fault necessarily It could just be Maddie's still going through it And trying to figure it out And now that she's seeing all of these people again Because she hasn't been around It's bringing up those memories again So now she's unsure of her feelings So she is kind of waffling But I feel like Brad is an easy one Because like we said like she's pointed to him Even at the reunion And now after the reunion I'm happy that you took the accountability Like I'm actually cool with that Like I respect that So I do think that that's an easy conversation Eventually to have TJ can't be there for that conversation now Because he is going to exacerbate the whole situation Because he's not in a good place with Maddie And it seems like there's no hope for him in Maddie Yeah There will be obviously We know how these shows work But right now They're not in a good place So if Brad wants to do that He's gonna have to do it in a situation Where maybe his girlfriend's out there Because her getting involved was wild That was crazy But I didn't hate it honestly Only because she's like you said to his face Like it's squashed We're good Yeah but I laughed out loud When she started stammering a little bit Yeah Maddie's like Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh Fucking She was seeing red I love it when she pops off She's so fucked She's really good at it She's really good at it But you know Obviously I don't think she should have interjected there You know that was between Yeah I think she's standing I'm not actually I'm just saying You know what she said We've now heard twice That you said you squashed it But a bigger part of that for me Is Maddie's response saying that never happened I was like oh wait That's a whole different thing What do you mean that never happened That's like the whole basis of Brad's everything Yeah now it's like Wait what actually did happen Not necessarily like Oh that definitely happened Like what From Brad's point of view it was Yeah you know we're good Maybe from Maddie's point of view It was I don't want to talk and talk about this anymore Let's just move on So it could have just been a let's move on Versus a But then we were cool Then where does Maddie saying You took accountability come in I mean that's just the different part There's like so many layers to this thing That's what I mean saying And I think layers Don't let it get lost in translation Like I am not saying that Maddie has to be cool with these people No Definitely not I'm actually surprised that she's even thinking about me Yeah Like it's actually a testament to I think the show more than anything That she's trying to smooth it over But like I get why she's pissed Like that's a crazy lie And it did end to relationship Great That dude was a fucking loser But that's your decision to me Not mutually exclusive Right So I get where she's coming from Totally You don't have to be over something Even because you said previously like Yeah I'm good You can still get mad about it again Absolutely So Don't let that get lost I just think like the situation If it was a little different If it was just Brad there I think Brad would hear her out Yeah You're the whole thing out And then have a conversation We've seen that before So I have no doubt in my mind That if she was able to And she wasn't seeing red TJ wasn't there If she was able to sit down And eloquently say Look yeah I mean I was just kind of Exhausted from the whole thing I wanted to move on I started thinking about it more I'm a little fucked up about it I think Brad would immediately Apologize again And then maybe walk her through it And then they'd be fine Yeah that's what I think I really do think that But when TJ's there The whole thing is going to blow up But that's what Bums me out Because TJ Introwing it And then Brad coming in the way He did made it 10 times worse Right Now Maddie's got a bad taste in her mouth Talking to Brad Because TJ let it off Heavy So I agree I think that Brad and Maddie Will be fine You know they got through the Dumpster Blowjob situation Which Although apparently somebody Slap to sign up there And put like B.J. Alley or something That's kind of funny This is fucking hilarious That's pretty good Brad took a picture of it He's owning it now But that yes I don't know Like we got to to be continued At the end of the first episode It's awesome Incredible It's a great start to the season It's a great show I say this every year I think I'm going to Be able to stop saying it soon But if you're not watching this I don't know what you're doing This is top tier television It really is But let's get the best show on Bravo I I'm getting there I think it's I don't even think there's much Competition to be honest Let's see What are audiences to say about it From Lorraine promo Who is the messiest on this cast Probably TJ Intentionally Tensionally messy TJ He likes to stir the pot He's really good at it Unintentionally messy While thinking she's not Is Emmy She's the messiest of the messy And she's just That's involuntary Yeah, that's true TJ knows what he's doing most of the time Here you go from K Messnick Why does Maddie have the heat You just kind of use the expletive emoji For Brad but not for Emmy Also why is Emmy still there I'm actually surprised that Emmy came back We talked about it last year I was kind of going back and forth But I mean, Will's not there So I guess I'm glad that Emmy's there Genuinely Because when her loser Fiancé leaves her She's gonna have her own money Yeah, that's a good point Uh, for uh, this is actually This works out perfectly From Charlie 44 Why does this new guy look familiar Where do I know him from And then immediately after that A-Sme Said the new guy just did Is from perfect match Like Chris on the new VP Are what is happening I mean, they're just dipping into reality TV pools I think it's pretty normal Yeah What I don't want to do is Have that whole thing again Like two years ago Mm-hmm When friends of people And like fans of the shows We're getting cast And when it's like Why are we casting people that are Why does that matter Yeah As long as they're good on camera Like most people at this juncture No Bravo TV So it's like Yeah Most people are gonna be At least familiar with the network Yeah From A Wilson B1 When exactly did Maddie succumb To the Joe Bradley Stockholm Syndrome I think they're in love honestly They're talking about The issues they're talking about right now Is Maddie saying Joe really wants to buy a house Have kids get married And I'm not really sure I'm ready for that Because marriage scares the shit out of me It's normal Pretty normal relationship things They're both in their 20s I think So Yeah, I don't That's what Let's get some time I'm not here to say That also removes agency from Maddie Who is very much your own person Yeah From Keckles Will we survive another season of Emmy Yeah, we're definitely gonna survive Oh Uh Will this Emmy Yes Yeah Because Yeah, her Her moments are a lot Mm-hmm It's hard to argue That she does not make great television Yeah Good point So that's what we're You know We're in the business of entertainment here And She brings the thunder It might be fucking loony tunes But it works It works And last one here from Nicole Hanson 317 Do you trust anyone in the cast to tell the truth Seems like everyone is lied, slash made up shit I actually don't trust anybody on the cast to tell the truth Nope No, not at all I've actually had that moment Multiple times during this recap Where I like I'm like well no Oh Maybe they were lying Honestly That's a different layer A very mysterious layer Yeah, mystery The mystery in Charleston The Soho mystery Mm-hmm I don't know I think we're in for a great season though To start off That hot That's A Top tier Premier top tier show I don't know what you're doing if you're not watching this You are just You're the contrarian for contrarian's sake at this point Yep Jump in Damn it Jump in But that's all I got You got anything else?
