One of the reasons we love watching Bravo shows is for the luxury. I mean, come on, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Most of the time I can just watch it for the shots of the gorgeous city and the houses. And let's not forget Lisa Barlow's $60,000 ring that she lost. Oh, heck yeah.

If you're looking for a way to experience luxury for yourself, try Virgin Voyages. Over $1,000 in value is included in every sailing. Everything they offer, from their menus created by Michelin star chefs to their cabins designed by top international firms, is the pinnacle of luxury.

of luxury. Virgin Voyages cruises are kid-free and catered to adult tastes, and they have some incredible destinations. We're talking Caribbean escapes, Iceland and the British Isles, Miami, New York. You can even live out your below-deck med fantasy with their Lux Voyage in the Med. I am so excited to go on my first Virgin cruise. You know, the idea of a kid-free ship is very appealing to me,

And all these menus. It's like definitely a boat made for Ben. It looks like a giant, gorgeous club with fabulous rooms. I cannot wait to go. Book now at virginvoyages.com or contact your travel advisor.

One of our favorite streamers, BritBox, just came out with a brand new original drama and we are obsessed! It's called Outrageous and trust me, the title is no exaggeration. We're talking drama, scandal, aristocratic chaos, and a whole lot of jaw drops. It's based on the true story of the Mitford sisters.

Think Kardashians if they were aristocrats in the 1930s with wildly clashing politics and a flair for international scandal. And chances are you've never heard their story. It's stunning. It's delicious. It's very British. So check out Outrageous, streaming only on BritBox. You're welcome.

Every big moment starts with a big dream. But what happens when that big dream turns out to be a big flop? From Wondery and At Will Media, I'm Misha Brown and this is The Big Flop. Every week, comedians join me to chronicle the biggest flubs, fails, and blunders of all time, like Quibi. It's kind of like when you give yourself your own nickname and you try to, like, get other people to do it. And the 2019 movie adaptation of...

Cats. Like, if I'm watching the dancing and I'm noticing the feet aren't touching the ground, there's something wrong with the movie. Find out what happens when massive hype turns into major fiasco.

Hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. This is part two of the recap. If you missed part one, go check out your podcast feed. It's right there. And without further ado, let's get right back into the recap. Okay, everyone. Real housewives know a thing or two about tension. On today's itinerary, I'm giving you the opportunity for a major release, blah, blah, blah. You're going to the spa.

Well, nobody gives a better massage than James, so that's all I need. Therapist person.

Well, hopefully James won't be giving the massage. I give a great tantric massage. Last eight hours. We come six times. All right. All right, James. All right. Nobody better touch the wind because he's my girl. You better tell all the massage therapists to back the hell off. That's my lady. Marcus, it's fucking painful. You know, I mean, really, I mean, how long do we have to listen to this bullshit from him? It's like, well, as long as I have to stare at your sleeveless arms, old man. Yeah.

Yeah, so they're all pissed off because this guy is so fucking annoying. And Mitch is like, your handling is not the way I would handle a woman. And she's like, oh, Mitch, you're missing the point. You said James was disrespectful towards me.

And he's like, I would punch him. He's like, I would punch him. And everyone's like, whoa, whoa. While it's like, no one's going to punch James. Like I would punch him. All right. All right. Please, please don't fight. Don't fight over me. If I'm smiling, it's only because I'm just so nervous. I'm not turned on by this at all. Not at all.

keep fighting yeah so they're like do you feel stalked by this person who's basically stalking you she's like no i feel like a princess princess di had people following her all the time even princess kate has people following her in front of her house to see what she's up to of course i don't feel terrible about it i've waited for this my entire life

You can call me Princess Mononoke. Or maybe Princess Mononote. I don't know. So Luanne's like, the audacity. Mitch didn't respect me because if you respect me, you would never say that to me. It's all about respect. And I sing about that, by the way. Respect yourself because no one else can change your path. Not even you, Mitch. Here are the rest of the lyrics and my cabaret coming soon to a bowling alley near you.

James, did you know Mark called you a fraud and he said he wants to punch you? Do something about it, James. What are you going to do? And he's like, well, I'm just expressing my feelings towards her. I'm screaming from the top of the mountain. Well, as long as she was up there, if she was down the mountain, I'd say, hey, get up to the top of the mountain or I'm going to have to roll down there and get you. Love of my life.

So everyone's like, "Yeah, he's love bombing." Even Shannon's like, "That is love bombing." So Luanne says, "Well, you know what? James gives me so much attention. He's always looking after me. He's always making me feel safe. Safe is an important thing for a woman." Luanne is like the one person in the world who actually is not satiated with love bombing. She's like, "He's love bombing and she's like, 'Love Los Alamos.' Let the bombs go off and test them." She's like, "Do it all."

Yeah, Luann loves a love bomb. And so they're like, but what are you talking about? What are you saying? He makes you feel safe. We're in a resort. Where's the danger? And she's like, everywhere, especially with you, therapist person. Well, and for a woman in general, but I'm going to send you off to the spa. Thanks, John. Thanks for the PSA there, buddy.

I'm going to be here alone overdosing on beta blockers because that was tough. Well, Joel, you need a massage too. So hopefully they will offer some spa services for the bellhops. Can we get a massage therapist who knows how to write scripts for television? That'd be great. Poor Joel. We can do a lot of shit, but I do feel bad for him. I mean, even every time Love Island finishes and I let it play through, it starts the first episode of Love Hotel.

And everyone is like, welcome, everybody, to the Love Hotel. I am so excited to welcome my guests here to have an exciting time in the Love Hotel. I was like, this poor guy. What did he do to deserve this?

He's like, I should be working in feature films by now. Why am I? He's like, I have worked in feature films. Why am I hosting this show? No. So they hate, everyone still hates Jams. Okay, so now they go to the spa and they're in robes and it's in the parking lot probably as all of these scenes are. And there's an ice bath and a hot bath. And Shannon's like, oh, I want to go in the ice. Oh, oh.

Jennifer Dorn, going in the ice. Watch out, boys. This is going to be cold. Wow. It's finally a time I can get into a bath that reminds me of David's emotional behaviors. Cold. So they get in and then it's like, oh my God, it's cold. And Phil is actually just

He's just in there. I'm used to this in Bel-Air. The temperatures rarely get above the frigid temperature of 57 degrees. This is nothing for me, Bel-Air. Yeah, Phil doesn't mind it at all. He does this every day and just sounds like, I'm Phil. Are your balls okay?

And Theo's like, yeah, I like being a man. I'm not going to go in there. Thanks. So now James and Luann are in the hot tub and his hand is between her legs. He's like finger banging her in the hot tub. What the hell is this show? They're in the corner dry humping. They're like, he's like, she's like, oh yeah, do me in the hot tub. Let's get by the jet. Oh, get by the jet.

by the jet. Yeah, right here. Put your shirt on. But I'm in the hot tub. I don't care. Show some decorum. Put a shirt on. Call me Diana. Do me, Dodie. Do me. So the guys are still pissed off at watching James. And Mark's like, I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with him. And Ralph's like, he's a child. If you think of him as six or seven year old boy that's not medicated, he's much easier to take. And Gus and them sing, La Motel

at the love hotel love hotel love hotel hanging out and ralph and ashley are flirty and wally is watching and he's like i can't believe i'm in a battle with a 60 year old european man if i'm being judged right now i agree damn he just demoralized so um shanna's talking to earl she's like earl earl earl do

Did you see the necklace that I wore tonight, Earl? Did you? He was like, yeah. I mean, what about it? It's a lock and key, Earl. Do you see it? Do you see that, Earl? I'm trying not to be critical. Do you see it? It's a lock and key, Earl. Do you see it? I was averting my eyes because I was afraid it might have been a kohlrabi. I just really can't take on any vegetables right now. I thought that was a broccoli that was supposed to fit into a mouth. I said, I don't know. It's not going to get me this time. Okay.

I'm really honestly very relieved it's just a lock and key. So am I going to get the lock? No, you're not going to get the lock. Am I going to get the key? No, I have the lock and the key. It's very romantic, Shannon. I just don't understand why you're not excited. Love hotel. Love hotel. Oh, yeah, right there. Right there.

So Ashley goes up to Wale and she's like, Hey Wale, do you have a second? He's like, to get out? Yeah, you don't want to? He's like, not really. Okay, excuse me? Okay, that's that. So she walks away because he's being like, mm-mm. So it's one thing to be like, I don't know what to do anymore. But it's another to just be like,

Like, I'm not getting out of the hot tub for you. Like, go get out of the hot tub and talk to her. He's being an asshole. He's trying to get her to, like, beg him. And it's just not going to happen while a, okay, like they say on Love Hotel, you are not the prize. You're the contestant trying to win the prize. So Wally tells the other guys, he's like, yeah, if I don't want to chat, I don't have to chat. And Giselle's sitting right there. And she's like, ooh.

And he's like, yeah, you know what? You have enough information. So you have enough information to make a decision. And Giselle is like, well, have you told her that? And he's like, oh, that you have enough information? Well, no, I haven't said it like that. But you should tell her. It's like, OK, I'll say it. So he gets up.

And she's like, "What's going on?" He's like, "Well, I reached a point where I just feel like you have enough information to make your decision and I just don't want to play the back and forth." I'm like, "Wale, that is why you're here. It is a back and forth show that you went on. If you didn't want to do the back and forth, don't come on a dating show. I'm sorry. You have to play the game. You're losing your own game." So they have this argument yet again and Wale is being a little wuss. And so he's like, "You know, you have enough data to make a decision. Okay? Stop being a PlayStation controller."

So she's like, are you removing yourself? And he's like, well, I've given enough, you know, I've given enough to this. And she goes, okay, well, if you're already checking out, then you're making the decision for me. And he's like, but I haven't checked out. She goes, but this is you checking out. And he's like, wait a minute. Do I still get free breakfast? No, no. If you're going to not be on the show anymore, you don't get to still eat breakfast while I can. Can I take a bagel to my room? No, you can't.

It's like, okay, well, let me finish up these spa treatments first, and then I'll talk about checking out. Yeah. It's like, this is why we're having difficulties, because you're not actually listening to me. I'm telling you I'm not checking out, and I'm telling you I'm not playing your game. I'm like, yeah, you're saying that, but you're also being passive-aggressive, which means that she's trying to figure out what you're really trying to say. She's like, it's not a game. He's exhausting. I was rooting for him. I've been trying to...

trying to root for him because I want her to choose him over Ralph, but he really makes it hard. I think that she should choose neither of them at this point, unfortunately. Yeah, I'm not rooting for Wale. He's a baby. He's a baby. He's fragile.

And Theo and Giselle are talking and Theo's like, you know, this is easy. We get along, you know, and I'm not looking at it as winning. It's not like, oh, I need to beat Phil. You know, there's no beating. You know, she goes, well, that's how Phil feels. It feels so nice to have two men not fighting over me at all. This is this is great. I love.

You know what I love about our romance happening here, our three-way triangle, is that I am not interested in either of them, and they don't seem to be interested in me either, so they're not fighting over me, and I'm not fighting for them to fight over me. I love it. So now Earl is excited because he's the only one invited to move in with Shannon, or with the woman, but specifically Shannon. He's like, ah, you know, now she can see me in the raw, I can see her in the raw. Well, keep it clean over there, Pinellas County. Yeah.

Yeah.

So he brings his little suitcase in and he's like, "Well, tell me where I should put my stuff." "Wherever you want, Phil. I mean, Earl, anywhere you want." "Well, I might require more than two drawers, maybe two and a quarter. God, I'm really charming and I can tell that this is the beginning of a great relationship between the two of us." So they sit and eat and she's like, "You're gonna..." Oh, he's like, "You're gonna fall asleep in my arms tonight. We're gonna wake up together. It's gonna be amazing. It's gonna be so good, Shannon." She's like, "Oh gosh.

Well, I just want to know, will we make it? Will we not make it? When I'm sleeping with a noise machine, that's non-negotiable. But is he a snorer? Am I going to wake up and his arm flap is going to be right over my face like a blanket? Or is he going to cuddle me right in his elbow, in his elbow nook? How's it going to go? Is he going to smell like lake? Am I going to wake up with algae? So much could happen. Earl, I am STD free, just so you know. He's like, so am I. But unfortunately, I am STD.

E-T-D laden, which is emotional traumatic disease laden. So if you're okay with that, I am going to have to deal with that. I'm also gluten free. I'm preservative free. I'm basically a kind bar. I'm also microplastics free. So I prefer it if we could leave your plastic suitcase outside. Okay.

So she's like, okay, well, I'm going to go to dinner with the girls and I'll be back in a few hours. A few hours. A few hours. Thunderclap. Thunderclap. So...

The wind gets bad, trees are swaying, and then a news announcer. Within five hours of becoming a stage four hurricane, Helene has made landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida, causing a state of emergency. Another report. Hurricane Helene. Hello, this is meteorologist Countess Luanda Luceps. Hurricane Helene killed 248 people. Maybe if they went to a cabaret, they'd be safe. National Hurricane Center report finds, leaving a biblical devastation as the death toll climbs.

to 90 yikes and i just looked it up and it says helene was the strongest storm to impact pinellas in 80 years yeah remember it's such a big deal over two feet higher than the previously recorded at clearwater beach that's crazy they were and i thought it was actually even worse remember like it was like we're all watching it because it was it was gonna be like this direct hit it was to be the storm of the century it was this whole big thing and um

It was scary. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Krappens commercial.

Every successful business starts with an idea. And on The Best Idea Yet, we're obsessed with those light bulb moments. Like how a bored barista invented the Frappuccino during his downtime, and then it got acquired by Starbucks. Or how Patagonia's iconic fleece was inspired by a toilet seat cover. On The Best Idea Yet, we dive into the untold origin stories behind the products you're obsessed with.

and the bold risk-takers made them go viral. These are the wild ideas and insights that made Birkenstock the best-selling sandal since Jesus. And made Super Mario the most played video game in the history of attention spans. Yeah, Nintendo almost became a ramen company until Super Mario saved it. New episodes drop every Tuesday.

At 24, I lost my narrative, or rather it was stolen from me. And the Monica Lewinsky that my friends and family knew was usurped by false narratives, callous jokes, and politics.

I would define reclaiming as to take back what was yours. Something you possess is lost or stolen, and ultimately you triumph in finding it again. So I think listeners can expect me to be chatting with folks, both recognizable and unrecognizable names, about the way that people have navigated roads to triumph.

My hope is that people will finish an episode of Reclaiming and feel like they filled their tank up. They connected with the people that I'm talking to and leave with maybe some nuggets that help them feel a little more hopeful. Follow Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen to Reclaiming early and ad-free right now by joining Wondery Plus in the Wondery app or on Apple Podcasts.

So then, now we cut to the real victim of the hurricane, Shanna Midori. So we see her, curlers in her hair, crying, sobbing, if you will. And the girls all come in like, what's

What happened? What happened? Breathe in, breathe out. Okay, here, here's a bongo. Slap on it. Tell me what you're feeling through the bongo. Left hand, right hand, left hand, right hand. You can do it. Puka, puka, puka. Here, I'll show you. What would you do if we ran out of time and we were only friends for a second? Show me a curler and put it in your hair and I swear we'll be friends for life.

Oh, I sing cabaret to my friends. He told me at 7.30 that he was really tired and he said, well, we're going to go to dinner. Why don't you try and get some sleep now? So, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I went to dinner with the girls. And then the screen ripples and we see iPhone footage of Shannon on a table dancing and partying with Luann.

And Giselle's spinning around with sparklers in her hands and everybody's cheering and having a grand old time. And he had already moved in, so Earl and I would see each other when I returned to the hotel. And before we went to dinner, I said the following. How is the hurricane? And he said it didn't hit St. Petersburg, which is good because it's landlocked. So perks for land, right? And it's going towards Tallahassee. And I said, see?

I told you. You know, I said, I told you your house is going to be okay. I told you. Why don't you ever listen to me when I tell you things? So next time, maybe you'll try a vegetable. So he said, yeah, everything's okay. And then I hadn't heard from Earl, and I went and knocked on his door, and he didn't answer. And I came home, and I read a text, and I'm like really bummed that we only have three nights here, and I invited you to move in, and where are you? We're supposed to sleep and fall asleep in each other's arms, and I haven't heard from you all day today. What's an idea?

What did I do? I don't feel like a priority, Earl. I don't feel like a priority. So we see Shannon's texts. Sweetie, I'm super sweaty and want to see you. Please come to my room.

If I'm not there, just go in. We'll be home soon. If you don't wake up, I'll come to your door. All the girls here, it's a bit crazy. Bit of miss you, and I want to see you. We've only got two nights. Oh, God, one night and 23 hours. Earl, where are you? Earl, I'm dying alone here. Earl, you're supposed to be with me.

And then, and then one hour ago, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue

Well, I had a rough day yesterday. I went to bed thinking a hurricane is coming towards both my houses, and we have an opportunity to be together, and you chose to go to a bar. When you were texting last night, it was just making landfall in Florida. The video of you dancing on the table and singing, yeah, well, guess what? You were dancing on my heart in that moment because there was a hurricane in the Florida area. Wait a minute. You told me it wasn't going to hit your house?

Well, I said it wasn't going to make landfall there, but it was going to be in Florida, which means that the eye of the hurricane was not going to hit St. Petersburg. So it turns out it would have not hit my house, but it was going to hit nearby houses. So you should have thought about that. Okay, well, I apologize that I wasn't there for you. Well, that's not good enough. They were playing the limbo song. Well, you know what's in limbo? My house.

And he's like, yeah, I'm getting alerts the entire time. The path is in Lawrenceville. I try to be here every time something goes bad and I'll hold her and we'll get through it. I needed that. I needed that last night. Just needed it. I'll hold me and there you are dancing on tables. We'll get fucking used to it. Have you heard of a place called the Quiet Woman?

I know. Have you heard of the Trace Amigas, which is now just Vicky and Shannon, but either way. There could be nuclear war outside and Shannon will be dancing on a table at the Quiet Woman. That's just what you're getting, sir. Okay. This is so unreasonable of him. I think it's wildly unreasonable for him to want her to just like

have the initiative to check on this hurricane if he said to her i'm really going through it can you please come back i think i really need you right now i guarantee she would have done it but he's just expecting her while she's having a fun time with her cast mates in this in this resort probably and the fact that the women were all going out together it probably was like an obligation with the show etc the fact that he's doing this that he's putting this all on her that he wants her to subvert her own fun time to deal with him while he's in a in the

in this hotel room, you know, I understand. If this was the other way around, if this was Shannon and there was a hurricane coming towards her house and Earl was out dancing at a bar, Shannon would lose her fucking mind, especially on the first night that they were together. He's just moving in. She would be there. You know, she would expect him to be there taking care of her.

So, but he's perhaps I still think he should have said something and be like, come back. But also the last note that she left on was him saying, it's not, it's not going to hit my house. Well, when you're not somewhere, when it's not happening to you, it's,

i mean there's so many tragedies going on in the world all at one time it's like at the beginning of the show sometimes we'll talk about whatever's going on in the world and be like i'm sorry to where wherever it's being affected but we don't do it every day and there's literally stuff going on every day

Like when L.A. was on fire, you know, I was just looking at my ring cam because I was in Texas. So I'm like looking at the ring cam trying to see because it was like a mile and a half from my house. So I'm like, where is at one point? So I'm like, where is this? I'm seeing the helicopters. I'm trying to figure it out. My family's just like, is the fire OK? And then they move on. They don't they don't call you every five seconds. You know what I mean? But to me, it's like this huge mess.

thing but if something is going on in texas i'm not necessarily calling them every it's just kind of normal but i think when you're in a relationship quote unquote yeah probably being out dancing on tables wasn't great what i didn't like it's just earl's just being too much like you're he's just too emotional for this you're right and that he has to communicate and be like i'm really scared

And you need to help me if he's really that scared. I need somebody to be with instead of being like, everything's fine. Well, who cares if I said everything's fine? Why do you have a news alert for it? It's like, oh, yeah, we can't have two Shannons in this relationship. Okay. Yeah. So he's allowed to be anxious. Absolutely. About his houses. A hundred percent. This was, this was, this was a hurricane that was making such major news. I mean, it was really, it was like everything stopped. And this was, remember, this was like there

There were a lot of headlines at the time and everything stopped for this hurricane. So he has a hundred percent, like his feelings are valid, but like when he says great news, it looks like, you know, the hurricane is not going to strike the house. And she says, I'm going to go out to dinner with my friends. Like he has an opportunity then to say, you know what?

Could you actually stay with me because I am really a bundle of nerves and I could really use your companionship right now He could have said that or when she sent the dancing like he could have said so many things but for him to actually expect her After he's basically told her yeah Looks like looks like we avoided disaster He expects her in the middle of dinner to stop and like check in on the hurricane and also know really where he lives and everything like that's

I think that's just a bit much. I'm sorry. Well, I think he's just saying like something. And also her reaction to it didn't have to be like it is. But of course, it's Shannon. So he's like, you know, I'm freaking out. I'm getting these alerts. And the sing you dance on tables. She could have just been like, Earl, I love.

thought it was okay. I'm so sorry. What can we do? Is your house okay? What can we do right now? How can I support you? She's freaking the fuck out. She's like, I didn't know. You said it was over. She just starts shannoning out on him. And I think it's just both of them being too emotional. But this could have been fixed by them both just communicating in a normal fucking way. But they're too much. But especially him.

I'm sorry. This is more Earl. Yeah, no, I think she's like, cause she says, I didn't know. And I thought it was over when you said it wasn't going to hit. He goes, well, so at the time you're knocking on my door, it had just hit Florida and there's a cone going. It's a big cone, a hurricane cone, just like this right in the dead center of the cone. That's my house. And she's like,

well, is your house okay? He's like, no. She goes, well, which house? My house in Georgia. So he's actually upset because it's the Georgia house. The Florida house is okay, but the Georgia house was the one that was in danger. And we, as we all know, that's the house that has the motorcycle in it for the stepson to come back to. And she just found the address. Uh, uh,

So he's like, here's the house next to it. Tore off half the roof or tore off a tree and damaged the roof. And now it looks like a field goal. And so we see photos. And she's like, Earl, Earl, I said if it didn't meet your house, you know, I didn't know it was headed to Georgia. And now you're having a difficult time. I mean, it's called communication. It's really difficult for me. And he's like, it's not about you.

And so they have a fight about the community, which I mean, I agree. It's all about communication. He should have handled this better, but she could have been more sensitive to say, you know, she could have. I think that she would have been sensitive. I, I, I a hundred percent believe Shannon, if she knew Earl was really going through it about the, the,

It's just that he is, this is not the first time he's, he's a big cry baby. He's a cry baby. It's not the first time he has hold himself up over some emotional thing. And then he says, well, I got triggered by something or another. And she just can't, she, she, she has put her, she has been in two big relationships where she did not put herself first. And I think she's in a state now of like, I can't keep her.

like putting pressing pause on what I'm doing and what I'm liking and how, how I'm enjoying life to make sure a man is feeling okay right now. Now, of course you want to do that for someone that you really like, but she just, someone going through a natural disaster. Yeah. I mean, you should, but he, but he let her know, but he let her know that everything was fine. That she left going to that dinner with the idea that like, Hey, everything is fine. And then he's like expecting her to understand like the trajectory of, of,

this hurricane and also where Lawrenceville, Georgia even is and all that. Like it's a lot that he put on her in that moment. And I just don't think that was fair at all. Okay. So he's like, well, you know, if you said there were landslides and earthquakes by your house, I would have been thinking about you that whole time until it was over. And I needed to be priority last night, not you. And, you know, maybe it's a good idea for you to process this and talk again later. Like, Oh God, that's not the right way. Earl, not the right way.

But why didn't you text me and say you didn't check up on me? Like, I've been sitting here all day. What did I do? What did I do? What did I do? Back to present. Yeah, so then the girls are on, you know, supporting her. She's like, you're not a mind reader. And this is red flag, red flag. He can't come in here and say that bullshit.

So now it's 24 hours until checkout. And Ashley's like, so he's mad that you didn't check in with him. And Shannon's like, well, I didn't know. I, I,

Big Diet Coke hands on her head. I didn't know! This is weird. This is weird. I am there for you every time, he says. And you're supposed to know the trajectory of a hurricane. He says, he says I should have been checking. She's now fully shaking and trying to like dot her eyes with like a tissue. He said I should have been checking. Maybe I should have. Theweatherjadot.com. I'll always go there before I go out.

So Earl, Giselle's like, well, Earl is doing the most. He wants her to support him, but did he support her DY anniversary? Something I've never even heard of before. But Shanna decided it's what she needed to do. No, he did not. And that was true. Like, I understand that she's insane for the request in the first place, but still she requested it.

And guess what? It's actually a very fair point because then we see flashbacks of Shannon celebrating her, like one, like made it through a shitty year of my life thing. And she wants to celebrate it with Ralph, but I'm not Ralph, but with, uh, with Earl, but Earl wasn't there because he was sulking about being yelled at about vegetables. Yeah.

It's also crazy. So we see that clip. Today at 11:59 is a one year mark of my DUI. And I shared that with Earl. And I just thought at 11:59, he would go, look where you are now. And I would look at the phone through the bottom of the martini glass and I would say, we made it. We made it, me. Did we just have an earthquake, by the way, in this discussion of natural disasters? Or was that just me?

Did we? The problem is me. Who the fuck knows? So much is going on in LA right now. It could have been a fucking bomb dropping for all I know. Jesus Christ, this town is in disarray. I would like it if Earl the Pearl would have actually... I don't see anything shaking out there. You notice that thing like when small earthquakes happen here in LA, you just sort of hear that like... It's not a crunch. It's like you hear just all the walls make that noise like...

but maybe it wasn't i don't know like my my mic isn't usually my mic wobbles because it's not the steadiest mic as we've learned in this episode but um yeah i don't think so i'm gonna text dom i'll say was there an earthquake or is that just just go on twitter because you know everybody will be like earthquake i felt did you feel it did you tom was there an earthquake and why did you not come downstairs into the podcast video you know i was going through it are you not checking on me dom

Okay, so now Ashley's like, well, why can't you just be a grown-ass man? And so they zip Shannon up. And Ashley's like, oh, you have a tag on. Get the tag off.

So they're, you know, pumping her up and telling her she's beautiful. And Shanna's still like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. Now we have argument number two. I was feeling so good about it. Back to present. You don't argue with someone and have these blowups when you first meet someone. I just I just I just I don't see how I can recover with Earl. I just don't see it.

So all the men are gathering in the lounge area for the latest strange meeting. And Earl's like, can we do some shots real quick? And Mark's like, hey, can I ask how's it going with Shannon? You guys had your first night together, right? He's like, yeah, well, we're going to get into that in a bit here because they're coming. I'm not going to talk about this while they're coming. It's just not cool. It's not cool. Oh, Carl's, please just have my back. Oh, there he is, sitting on the sofa holding a shot. Oh, God, please have my back. Oh, God. I will, uh...

So the man who greet the women and Joel comes in, he's like, oh, God, hugs and kisses. That's a great sign. So I think there are some things we need to talk through before we get to business today. And Ashley's like, well, Joel, we learned some things about Ashley. I mean, sorry, Shannon and Earl today. Yeah, the ladies talk to Shannon. And we kind of want to just hear Earl's side. Yeah.

It's not easy for me to talk about, by the way, an update from my side is that there was no earthquake. It was just probably the air conditioner going on in Ben's house. So just want to give an update everyone there. But I still would have appreciated some text messages from Shannon Medore. Anyway, Shannon, you are just an amazing person and you know how I feel about you and things were going really great for us. And I was just really struggling the night before. And you guys saw me, you guys saw I had Pinellas County fear all over my face and I didn't, I didn't have my real happy face on and I'm

I felt, well, so way down by the storm that was going on. Shannon storms, that is. Vegetable agenda. I haven't heard anything about her. She wasn't asking about how I was doing with my house. The hurricane stuff. She said she said it, but I don't remember her saying that. I don't remember her saying that she checked into my house, that she was happy about my house. She never said that. She never said anything about my house. I want to walk out. I want to walk out. I want to walk out right now. She never said it.

When we were hanging out together, I literally want to fucking walk out right now. How dare you? My favorite Shannon-ism of all time. How dare you?

By the way, the build up. Rest, rest, rest, rest, quarter rest. The drama with which they treated the situation was so amazing because also when Shannon was like, when they first came onto her crying in her room, they cut to her in like the confessional and they were doing makeup on her and she had this look on her face like,

I'm going to have to tell the truth now. Like it was some big reveal, like an expose documentary when they do that. But there's like, okay, this person's about to say something important. So let's see them getting their makeup on. I was having margaritas and Earl was worried about her. Everything went down. Ridiculous. So funny. What a funny, hilarious show. Yeah. I love this show.
