I noticed like four weeks ago he stopped calling things.
How do you know that? What are you, a vlog?
Hi, I'm Danny Murphy.
I'm Evan Real.
And wow, Girls Night and Boys Night both were messy.
I don't know. It's funny.
I don't know which one I would have wanted to be at more,
mainly because the drama was happening on both.
I think Boys Night was the absolute pits.
Yeah, I would never want to be there.
I would be Brooks texting Gia like, I'm uncomfy.
I want to leave and I want to come to Girls Night.
OK, yes.
But the Girls Night booth looked very like there wasn't a seat for me.
It was table tennis kind of looked fun.
I would have wanted to play table tennis with Christian
because Christian's so cute and sweet.
And I do feel bad that he was texting Gia like, no one's having fun
at my boys night after they had a lovely night in Jersey City,
which I love seeing Jersey City out and about.
Jersey City did look beautiful on camera.
And like Gia said, it was basically the West Village.
It was basically New York City.
I've been to South House.
Is it cute? It looks like a vibe.
Massive inside.
They do for anybody who needs.
I think they do a dollar mimosa for brunch.
I don't drink, but I've been with people having a dollar mimosa.
That's amazing.
No, they have it.
So they were the separation of the boys and the girls.
The Girls Night, there was more drama than I was expecting
because we're going in.
I was, you know, Riley and Georgia, I was kind of assuming
and I was expecting maybe some Ariana and Gia versus Ava.
I did not expect Riley and Ava to get to where it got.
That was so confusing.
I don't think Ava understands what happened.
Right, because as Ava and Riley were discussing,
they always get along and they have a way of communicating well together.
But then Riley was seemingly upset with Ava
for the way that she speaks to Ariana and Gia,
which if Riley is good friends with Ariana and Gia, I understand that on some
level, but it just kind of seemed like Riley had had a few drinks, a few shots,
and she just wanted to pick a fight with someone instigate some type of drama.
But you already had Georgia.
That's oh, my God, you were already fighting with Georgia
and being rude to George, which honestly, very entertaining.
Entertaining, but also kind of got to a point where I'm like,
if I feel almost uncomfortable of just like I'm like,
how does everybody at the table feel?
Because it's like Riley just does not want Georgia there. Right.
Which I'm like, I do hate that she has to be at a table with someone
she doesn't like, but I'm like.
Maybe just ignore her.
But Riley herself says she's like, I can't control my face or emotions
when someone I don't like is around.
Or her words, apparently, because she's very she's very outspoken.
She said to Ava, why would I say please and thank you to you?
Well, you just asked her for a shot to to go get you a beverage.
So if someone fetches you a shot or an alcoholic beverage,
typically you say please and thank you.
Yeah, it's also funny, too, because it seems so far Ava and Gia and Ariana
were all fine at Brosnan.
Totally. Yeah.
Like they it seems like they already kind of like squash it.
And Gia and Ariana, they had made a commitment to not starting drama
or picking a fight with Ava.
It seems like everyone sort of quietly made a peace pact.
Ariana and Riley even made that pact together.
Like, we're going to have a good night.
Yeah, right. Everyone was talking about, let's have a good night.
And then, yeah, Riley didn't want to have a good night.
I know. And I mean, Georgia is an acquired taste.
She is. She is. Yeah.
But what did she say?
Well, I also think, Georgia, you did not help yourself
by bringing up the girl who wasn't touching anything on the subway
because then you're bringing up the handwashing and all of that stuff.
Right. So she's not leaving that in the past.
And also she's making a multi-surface spray product about it.
I mean, tell me, why are you starting a
cleaning product brand?
And we both hate cleaning.
I hope your savings account is OK, Georgia, because I don't know what that means.
So she's leaning into it.
So I understand why Riley's like, if you're leaning into what I said about you,
I'm going to lean into the fact that I don't think you still wash your hands.
Yeah. Georgia made the mistake of facilitating space for someone
to talk about that and discuss that.
I will say I've never resonated with someone so much.
That's what I do on the subway.
Georgia's friend, who is what did she call her?
Like, oh, it wasn't even a friend, just a girl.
She said it was like guerrilla.
Just like, yeah, that's what I do on the subway.
I don't sit. I don't touch the rails.
I'm essentially like what I would imagine surfing would feel like.
Oh, because I am a germaphobe.
And that's why, Georgia, sometimes I do fail to understand you.
Well, we're seeing her this week.
So, you know, I'm excited.
Do you know what? We've chatted with Georgia before.
And I will say in person, it hits different.
She is honestly a very nice person.
And I wish that Riley could see the side of Georgia we've seen.
I know. I do like that.
Riley's committed to not taking the subway in the city, though.
I would love to. I.
Yeah, I need to know more about that.
Does she just Uber everywhere?
It's kind of tough to get around the city.
She was like, I would never do that.
Yeah, she's like, you guys like this.
I do like that. Arianna started to take the ferry.
I know. That's so, so romantic.
I know. Very well.
Speaking of romantic, are we shipping her in Liam?
No, no. I'm personally not.
Yeah, I, I, I don't know.
It feels a little forced.
Yeah, I don't. I think she's kind of like, you know, let me make Hudson's.
Which I like that. I like that.
I approve of that. That's a move.
I think I even asked you about it.
And it was like, I did not think about that.
I got in my head. I was like, oh, am I being messy?
But I was like, I think Arianna even said this week's episode.
She's like, now that Hudson has rules for me, I'm going to write the rules.
But what did you think of Georgia bringing up Hudson's new social media
behavior, flaunting his cars and his jewelry, et cetera?
Arianna didn't really seem to have a response.
I think I if I'm getting to maybe Georgia's
doesn't want to be as messy as I think she's trying to say.
I think she was like, he's trying to flex to get a girl
to like thirst over him because of that.
And that's what I'm assuming.
Arianna really wasn't taking the bait.
Yeah. And then also that he stopped commenting on Arianna's post.
Well, they did break up.
So why would he still comment?
Oh, right.
Well, and then Riley was accusing Georgia of like being a stalker
and a weirdo for knowing about those comments.
And I was like, right, like Riley, this girl can't do anything right.
She can't. She she will never win if Riley's there.
She just can't. She like, honestly, she really can't.
And what did you think of Amira telling Georgia
just going to business with Charlie and her ex?
And I do think Amira just a little tipsy.
I think she was a little tipsy off.
Maybe she was being a little messy.
I don't know. I don't think that's a good idea whatsoever.
I think Amira knows deep down in her soul.
That's not a good idea.
I think it's also hard because Amira is kind of one of the few or only girls
or people or like actually anyone on the cast that likes Charlie.
I don't even Amira.
She likes Charlie.
It's really confusing because everyone talks about Charlie.
Everyone talks about Charlie being a pariah.
But yet there are so many people within the NYC orbit who want his approval
or seek a friendship with him.
So I'm just I'm very confused.
But you're right.
Amira has been outwardly a little bit more pro Charlie than others.
I think in terms of the people on the cast,
it's Amira and Skye are the only two that kind of tolerate him.
Yeah, shy, shy, shy.
Yes, I was like, sorry.
Who is Skye?
Shy and Amira.
Yeah.
Otherwise.
But then like that, like Hudson's feeling him.
And then and then Gia's boyfriend Christian was like,
he has a good heart and a good soul and he's a good person.
But then immediately was like, right.
I don't trust.
She was like, no, sir.
Yeah.
But it's crazy how his charm kind of like works on people.
Sometimes I don't.
I think Christian's like I'm in Jersey consolidating junk.
I don't know who Charlie is.
But I guess I'll invite him to my boy's night that nobody wanted to go.
I loved Gia having to call Christian to understand what it is that he did.
And it was junk demolition.
And what what is the title of that?
All right.
Love you like junk removal demolition.
He looked good doing it.
He did.
He's so cute.
He seems like just like a nice.
They are an adorable couple.
They are.
I also speaking of the boy's night, I do feel like Gia did.
Gia is an amazing.
She's a reality TV star.
She knew how to set the match.
She's like, well, how do I make this boys?
I haven't.
I am going to tell Brooks what Christian text me that Charlie said
and just kind of set the whole vibe as like a little a little mess.
Brooks.
Charlie is really pivoting to just being Brooks's full enemy,
because I'm sure he did not love Brooks.
The confessional that Charlie was saying about him being in his underwear, throwing up at clubs.
Yeah.
And also Charlie calling Brooks an aging gay man and saying he can't be a party gal forever.
The subtext is like slightly homophobic.
And I don't appreciate that.
Charlie Brooks was a proper fun friend.
He would like get blackout, like be in his underwear at the club, throwing up everywhere.
And I mean, look, he's an aging gay man.
He's got a boyfriend.
You know, he's not like going to be a party gal forever.
You know what I mean?
And also calling him an aging gay man as he's worried about his receding hairline.
Also an aging gay man.
He's like 25.
What the hell?
No, please don't ever describe me.
Thank you for being a friend.
We're the golden girls.
We are the golden girls.
Actually, I don't go out anymore.
I just would love to eat cheesecake at 8 p.m. in bed.
So yeah, I am a golden girl.
Charlie is.
Older than him.
Like 30 something.
So Charlie, my love, like how would you describe yourself?
Also, not brushing your hair for a confessional was a wild choice.
Yeah, I don't think he debuted a new confessional like this episode.
That was wildly offensive to my eyes.
Brush your hair.
Oh, I was gonna say in his defense.
I don't think he brushes his hair in general.
It's on.
It's kind of sad.
He like really thinks he's the ----.
He thinks he's doing something.
He's not doing anything.
Anything of the sort.
He's not it for me.
I don't understand why he is it for others.
It just doesn't make sense to me.
I do love everybody running away from him in a taxi.
That would be me.
Yes, I support that.
Yes, I like to.
They're going to girls night thinking it's a chill energy.
Riley and Ava are fighting.
Georgia was.
Yelling about business plans with Omar.
And her and Amira are like getting in a little fight.
That Kendall girl just there.
Is she on the show?
I'm confused about Kendall's participation.
Is she a friend of?
She's pretty.
And congrats on going to Cornell.
Yeah, I know.
Smart, pretty girl.
I love Ithaca.
It's gorgeous.
As I said, she just kind of like showed up.
Yeah, she just appeared.
And people are asking if she's involved with Liam.
But she's like, no, she keeps saying, no, I'm not.
Well, because they're like family friends forever.
Right.
But I don't know.
The setup is just kind of like the setup of her introduction to the group is like kind of weird.
And then Liam, like she is somehow involved in the process of Liam trying to date Ariana,
which I think, like you said, is a good move for Ariana.
She wants to make Hudson sweat.
But overall, it just seems like a little bit forced and overproduced.
Yeah.
And honestly, what did not feel produced at all are Brooke Shields cameo.
She came in and she's like, oh, we're filming a reality show in my apartment.
I like because it was great because it was like stressed out mom, but also
celeb that's like everything because she knows she's like she's like everything's misplaced.
But that's OK.
She's like nothing's where it belongs.
But can I have tequila?
Yeah, it was fun seeing her.
And also watching her just be like, my daughter's so pretty.
She doesn't like just being such like a mom.
She needs no makeup.
She doesn't.
Look at her and look in the mirror.
I'm like, oh, get a Kris Jenner facelift.
What does that mean?
Yeah.
No, I mean, Rowan is beautiful and she's she's fun.
Like she's a star.
She has a sense of humor about her.
She does.
I really like what she brings to the show.
And it's just great redhead representation.
That is very real.
And also, Rowan, she wants to be both a movie,
a feature film writer and also entertainment journalist.
Come entertain journalism with us.
Yes, please.
Come gab.
I didn't know that's what she wanted to do.
Come on.
Virtual reality whenever, Rowan.
Please, please chat.
I mean, obsessed, obsessed with her.
She seems very, very fun.
And I hope we see more Brooke Shields on the show.
I know that it doesn't happen this season
because Gia confirmed that Brooke Shields
did not film with any housewives.
But I desperately need Brooke Shields
and Kim Zolciak in the same room.
When Rowan said to Ariana, well, we grew up similarly
because our moms were in the public eye.
She did.
She did say a little different.
A little bit different.
But you know what?
Wait.
Also, the wisdom we learned from Kim Zolciak
to her daughter, young, dumb and full of ****.
Let's be 24, young, dumb and...
That's actually not good to say.
My mom usually says, young, dumb and full of ****.
But not what I need to be.
Young, dumb and full of what rhymes with ****.
Crazy.
When did she give her that advice?
I don't know.
Like at what age?
Because I did look up Ariana's age.
I think she's like 24, 25.
She can be young, dumb and full of **** if she...
If she so chooses.
But she's choosing to be young, dumb and living in New York City.
Yes.
That's what she said.
And riding the ferry.
Riding the ferry.
And going to Jersey City.
Yeah.
And living in Brooklyn.
Having all the fun stuff.
I know.
So I'm very curious where...
I'm so mad I chatted with Ava before this episode
because I didn't even think her and Riley had beef to beef about.
I think Ava also thought that.
I was...
I am loving...
The Kyle Cook is on top of it all.
Ava Dash.
And then this episode too.
She's really coming into her own so much.
She is.
It really is incredible.
Season one Ava versus season two Ava.
It's different.
And it's so nice to see her evolution as a reality star.
And she's finding her voice and her star power.
I just...
She's finally shining.
And also Amira opening up so much about how stressed she is taking...
I didn't know she was like taking care of so much of her family like this.
I know.
Yeah.
It was stressing me out.
Yeah.
She was like, I don't even live my life.
I live my life to get...
Content.
Performing content.
Yeah.
I know.
It seems like she works very hard.
Yeah.
Like that is very clear.
But I love that little moment she had with her mom where they just like...
I was like going to tears.
You don't have to prove.
You do not have to prove.
Okay.
I will always be proud of you my dear.
You don't have to prove.
Okay.
You worked so hard to be where you are today.
That is very sweet.
Yeah.
And I didn't realize like you said that she was bankrolling her entire family.
I didn't even realize that she bought her family a house.
It's honest.
Right.
It was beautiful.
And it's beautiful to see how much she does take care of her family.
Where's her car?
Because she said she has her car and her parents car.
I guess she parks it somewhere in the city.
Oh my gosh.
Why don't I feel like she has like the pink Jeep like Rosie?
I feel like she might.
She's got some fancy car.
She's got some fancy car and I'm sure it's pink.
I hope it is.
Okay.
We need more Brooke Shields and eyes on Amira's car.
And maybe eyes on Georgia washing her hands.
Riley would like that.
Riley would like to see that.
We would like to see that.
But we will see what happens next week on Next Gen NYC.
So until then, goodbye.
