1:28.5

with Patric and Paul. I get it. Well, listen, I mean, I don't know if Housewives will go away like

1:34.2

you said, but I think, because I read this article, I think next gen is, here's a big statement.

1:40.2

I think next gen is, I think it's the most important show on Bravo right now. I really

1:48.6

do not the best. I think it is because people don't realize. Now look, I agree with you. I

1:55.6

trashed it. I thought the idea was insane. I didn't want to watch it. I watched it. I liked it. I kept watching it. I really liked it. I kept watching it. I loved it. I do think for me, Ariana Bierman, I mean, what the fuck? She is a breakout star. But the whole cast I think is really good. I like Charlie. People don't like him. I mean, what the fuck? She is a breakout star. But the whole cast, I think, is really good. I like Charlie. People don't like him. I mean, that is the typical. That's not so atypical that you grow up with a rich father and now you're a day trader and getting $10,000 a month. And your roommate is bisexual and he's making a shitload of money on only fans this is all very normal

2:35.2

for it's that he's a new york kid that is what it is it's normal that george i'm doing only fans i

2:41.7

missed it his roommate dylan oh honey honey take a minute out of your busy day darling darling. Let me tell you what there is to see.

2:53.7

2:59.1

of course you dated Lindsay Lohan in high school and her limo came to pick you up. Duh. And Georgia

3:05.6

was in the clubs when she was 13. Same thing with Bethany Frankel. That's what New York kids did. And now she's starting a club. That's a bowling alley. And she's closing down Katz's Deli, which is one of the most, like, famous, iconic delis on East Huston and we're having like a rave with Diplo. Yeah. Yes and yes. These are the things that that... So I think it was authentic. I didn't think

3:26.3

the cast, I didn't understand how they all fit together. I think the chemistry is great. But what I really...

3:31.9

So it's like all this stuff is coming out now. Like some of these numbers are a little bit the way

3:37.3

they're marketing them are not exactly what they seem. But like deadline,

3:41.5

deadline did a huge article on it that,

3:44.4

that like it is the most watched premiere

3:55.5

I'm right feedback.
