Good. I went to see La La Land last night. It was like some re-release at a movie theater here in Austin and... I've just been dancing around with Bueller all day. Just enjoying the time we have together before he chooses stardom over me. City of stars. So I'm good. I'm floating on clouds. What's going on with you over there? That dreary ass song.

0

84.013 - 108.122 Ronnie

0

187.611 - 208.304 Ronnie

Carl and the dishes that he's going to be doing the rest of the season because that's all Carl is going to do. Why is Carl back? I don't know. I guess Carl's back to watch Carl do some dishes and act like a huge victim of everybody around him. Well, not everybody. Lindsay. And it's delicious. It's actually really fun to watch. Carl's best season, I have to say, so far. Really enjoying it.

0

209.174 - 219.721 Ronnie

So Carl comes in. At the end of last episode, he came in, freaked out with the producer. He's like, oh my God, what am I going to say to Lindsay? And then went to the bathroom and hyperventilated for a while and talked himself up.

0

219.761 - 224.043 Unknown Speaker

He's like, you look great, by the way.

0

224.143 - 239.589 Ronnie

So now he comes out all confident. He's like, I'm Carl. And he walks right out to the pool where everybody's having a good time and starts doing his like, oh, how's it going? Look at all these faces. Hello, Sierra. Hello, Paige. Hello, everybody. Hello, everybody. But Lindsay.

241.178 - 259.725 Ben

Yeah, Lindsay is there in the pool, in her tube, so she's literally circled. Like, she might as well have, like, fluorescent yellow on her and high-lit, you know? She is, like, so obviously there, and you're like, oh, hey, I just want to say hello to everyone here. Does anyone know this balloon guy here? Can I say hi to him? Oh, look, hey, Pine Tree, good to see you again.

Chapter 3: Why is Carl's behavior causing tension in the house?

259.866 - 269.499 Ben

Oh, barbecue, am I missing anyone? Am I missing anyone at all? And Lindsay's just like, this is classic Carl, you know? Avoidant, passive-aggressive pussy. Yeah.

0

269.94 - 291.463 Ronnie

And Lindsay's like, um, I don't blame him for not saying hi to me, but, like, I really don't care. So... And so they're trying to make small talk with Carl and they're asking how he is. And he's like, I mean, butterflies coming out here. Of course, butterflies. Like, it's been really rough a couple of years for me, guys. I'm like, oh, Jesus. Here he goes.

0

291.543 - 295.285 Ronnie

And Lindsay's just staring at him like, okay. Yeah.

0

295.605 - 306.91 Unknown Speaker

Everyone's like, right, right. So Lindsay's like, I'm done with that relationship. And his feelings and emotions are just, like, not my issue anymore. So he can, like, lean on someone else for softness and tenderness and tighter hugs. Yeah.

0

307.568 - 325.219 Ben

It's like, yeah, you go, Lindsay. So then Sierra's like, she whispers to Jesse. She's like, did Carl and Lindsay even say hi to each other? And he's like, I don't think so. Hold on, let me FaceTime my girlfriend, Lexi. Hold on. Hey, Lexi, are you there? She's like, Carl, I'm Jesse. I'm sitting right next to you. All right, I just want to double check.

327.049 - 343.619 Ronnie

Uh, so then Kyle is asking Carl, you know, like, have you said hi, Lindsay yet? And he's like, Oh no, I just, uh, I want to congratulate her on everything, but I just don't want to make her uncomfortable. So that's super important. I mean, she's like pregnant, pregnant, right? And you're like, yeah, she's pregnant, pregnant.

344.279 - 365.509 Ronnie

so carl by the way nothing says nothing says making sure someone isn't uncomfortable like singling them out and not saying hello to them it's literally what i do with every pregnant person i see if a pregnant person comes on the bus i just like hide my face under a magazine I'm like, if they can't see me, they won't feel uncomfortable.

366.949 - 384.735 Ben

I don't want to feel uncomfortable. So Carl's like, she's like, pregnant, pregnant. I mean, and then he tells us this. This is one of many woe is me things from Carl that we'll probably get all season long. I just want to say the right thing, and I want to like deliver the right words, just like acknowledge it.

384.755 - 389.176 Ben

And it's just like, I think it's like the right thing to do, just to say something, but I'm afraid she's going to like,

Chapter 4: What drama is unfolding between Sierra and Wes?

565.6 - 569.323 Ben

And Paige walks in and is like, oh, look at your little terrycloth set.

0

569.343 - 573.027 Unknown Speaker

You're just like a little towel boy. It's like you made an outfit out of towels. Okay. Bye.

0

574.328 - 596.549 Ronnie

So then West comes in with like a Duck Dynasty outfit. I'm not really sure what West is going to do. I get wanting to do the whole like, I'm a guy. I listen to Barstool. Like, that's great. Okay. You guys do you. I see you all over the place here in Texas. This isn't fashion, right? At some point, he's kind of a caricature of those guys.

0

596.889 - 600.592 Ronnie

I'd actually like to see one of those Duck Dynasty guys just kind of beat up West.

0

601.793 - 610.399 Ben

Yeah, they probably would. So Amanda's like, where are we going hunting? No, it's like not fun pants summer. It's fun top summer this year.

610.419 - 616.743 Unknown Speaker

Is that what's going on, West? He's like, do you think this is a fun top? She goes, for you, yeah. For anyone else, it's garbage.

618.304 - 640.082 Ronnie

For us, it's all fine because we get to laugh at you. So Kyle, you know, I love that we're acting like the guys are all high fashion. They all look like dad's going to a Costco in the summer. Okay. But every time one of them comes out, they're like, oh my God, you look amazing. So now Carl's like, oh, I'm going to drive for boys day. It's for the boys. So Paige comes up with a better idea.

640.122 - 644.428 Ronnie

She's like, Amanda, what if we fuck around and lie down on the couch? It's crazy.

648.031 - 665.926 Ben

So then Carl's like, yeah, I already feel a good vibe to the boys. Wes is like, dude, if it makes you feel any better about an awkward intro with Lindsay, I went in to give Sierra a hug when she got here and she fucking stiff arm my arms away. Oh, and we see like we see like flashbacks of that.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Lindsay's pregnancy on the group dynamics?

709.664 - 730.269 Ronnie

So now the girls are talking about how nervous Carl was. So she's like, oh my, Amanda's like, do you think he noticed the gigantic ultrasound on the mantle? And she's like, the weirdest thing to me is that like Lindsay's pregnant. So now like we're all pregnant. Like I have to get my shit together now.

0

731.45 - 733.552 Unknown Speaker

Wait, do I have to get my taxes in order?

0

733.572 - 741.759 Ben

And Amanda's like, yeah, I gotta go on my accountant. Maybe I should move to South Carolina. What am I doing? Maybe I should just submit to hell.

0

743.007 - 759.874 Ronnie

Yeah, and so Paige is talking about how weird it is because, like, one girl gets pregnant and then it puts things in perspective with everybody else. And she's like, yeah, when Craig and I started dating, Lindsay and Carl started dating. And then they got engaged and they planned a wedding. They called off the wedding. She got a new boyfriend. She got pregnant. And I'm still dating Craig.

0

760.414 - 766.436 Ronnie

And all that's really happened is that I got Craig to get a new haircut. So... am I behind?

766.456 - 777.562 Ben

But to be fair, this all happened within the span of like six months. Okay. Like the wedding, the engagement, the wedding, the breakup, that was like, that could not have been more than a calendar year.

778.243 - 791.793 Ronnie

So, and it's also different because Lindsay's wants are very different. Lindsay was like, I'm getting married. I'm having a baby. This is my timeline. I want a balloon and I want, you know, I want a hot air balloon. Like she had all of her stuff and Paige is Didn't really like that.

792.093 - 809.916 Ronnie

I do think it's funny, though, that girls seem to have that like, oh, no, someone some one of my friends is getting married. Should I be getting married? Should I be getting a baby? When one of my friends gets married, I know that it's time to go to the BevMo and get the bar stocked because they're going to need somewhere to come complain about their marriage. And it's it works like clockwork.

810.276 - 810.556 Ronnie

you know?

Chapter 6: How do Jesse and Lexi's relationship developments affect the house?

1050.275 - 1071.023 Ben

We don't know. Oh, so what do you mean? Why isn't he coming? I don't know. He's like, sent some weird message. He was like, I'm sorry. I have a lot of work to do. I mean, I met this guy and we went on a couple of dates and he's such a beautiful man. And then I went into this with no expectations, but I also don't need you to give me attitude if I'm having a good time and I'm not on the phone. Okay.

0

1071.063 - 1084.815 Ben

Like, what do you think I'm doing? I mean, I just said, let's just see how this goes. Let's not put a label on it. Danielle's just sitting there like, I'm not Danielle, Gabby. She's just like, how much longer do I have to talk to these people before I can contractually go to a different room?

0

1085.956 - 1104.506 Ronnie

I think part of the problem in relationships today is that people are so afraid to put labels on things. Well, Bailey, I've got a label. I've watched you for about five minutes. Here's a label. Boring. Okay. Boring. There's your label. Sew it on and run along. So then Gabby goes to Lindsay's room and she's like, oh my God, these young girls have me like spinning in circles.

0

1104.806 - 1126.753 Ronnie

I mean, they're not drunk. They're just like boy drama. And Lindsay's like, I'm about to have a baby. So I'm very mature. She just sits and looks at her like, you guys are all so crazy. So then the boys are coming home now and Jesse got Lexi's number. And so he FaceTimes her and he's like, hey, how are you?

0

1126.833 - 1132.354 Unknown Speaker

And she's like, why did you FaceTime me?

1132.374 - 1134.955 Ben

I just want to see your face.

1135.215 - 1137.576 Unknown Speaker

Oh my God, do you miss me?

1138.968 - 1146.234 Ben

I mean, I didn't say that, but yeah, I mean, so we're just like leaving now. So we'll be home in like 10 to 15 minutes.

1146.954 - 1153.419 Unknown Speaker

You better get ready because when you're home, I'm going to run right into your room and give you a koala hug.

Chapter 7: What are the key conflicts in this episode of Summer House?

1542.436 - 1555.653 Ben

Can you love on mute, please? So now Jesse tells her about his testicular cancer, which was very scary. And they're basically bonding. They have trauma bonding here. And so they make out. This leads to the kiss.

0

1556.232 - 1570.771 Ronnie

Guys, nothing gets me hornier than my best friend dying and somebody else having cancer. I'm like, yeah, time to bone. So they do that. And then they don't bone. They just make out. And then they decide they officially like each other.

0

1571.232 - 1582.706 Ben

It's a fish. So then Lindsay goes into the kitchen where Carl is washing dishes. I think that Carl intentionally made dishes dirty so that way he could do dishes for the rest of the evening.

0

1583.206 - 1599.532 Ronnie

He's also so addicted to emotional turmoil because this is the set... where everything happens in Carl and Lindsay's relationship. Like, it's all in the kitchen. You know, all of their main... And, you know, they've had some scenes other places, but most of their main emotional work is done in the kitchen.

0

1599.652 - 1610.418 Ronnie

And so Carl is still stuck in the kitchen this whole trip, cooking, doing dishes, doing more dishes, kicking people out of the kitchen so he can stay in the kitchen because he cannot resolve anything unless it's done with Lindsay in the kitchen.

1611.258 - 1628.974 Ben

Yes. So, you know, Lindsay comes in and Wes says hi to her and Carl just like scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub. And he's like, oh, lunch. And he's like, it was good. It was good. Jesse is crazy. And they're just sort of talking. It's like very it's just patter. But like, clearly, Carl is there and Lindsay's there and they're not addressing each other.

1629.654 - 1636.598 Ben

So then Carl is basically like, Wes goes out, Kyle goes off to like fix something with the speaker or something like that.

1636.618 - 1645.604 Ronnie

Well, I like when Kyle goes, yeah, I mean, Jesse, Jesse's already in a relationship after like 24 hours. I mean, is that just what happens when you're six, five? I mean, God, how do tall guys live?

1646.004 - 1649.046 Unknown Speaker

And she's like, um, hey, like it works for some people.
