Dear Albie

We're rolling out another Dear Albie Classic (TM): The "Polly or Paulie?" episode, which we got a TON of feedback on. This was the episode where we debate whether Markie wanted to call her new puppy "Polly" or "Pauly" and then ask her and multiple people to confirm. Good times were had by all! Enjoy the trip down memory lane, with an intro by Jules!!

Caroline and Chris join Albie for a Real Housewives-centric episode, where they discuss the aftermath of the infamous table flip, where the Real Housewives' catchphrases came from, the downside of Bravo fame for some people in the cast, what to do if you happen to meet someone from RHONJ in public, and more. Some quotes from the show:

Advice from Al: "Once in a while you have to roll in the mud".

Chris on meeting in real life: "Sometimes I think about doing an etiquette course on what to do if you see someone from Housewives, and what not to do... Just fucking come up and be like, 'hello'"

Chris on Teresa: "You're Van Wilder at this point. Sorry, but like, get the fuck out of college"

Chris on the trappings of fame: "Half the Housewives would go to the opening of a fucking envelope"

Caroline on future TV projects: "Let's put it this way. If we wanted to be on TV, it was happening"

Caroline on the show: "I was the one that signed my life away. So they had me whenever, wherever they needed me".

On the table flip: "I think that is an iconic moment in reality TV history"... "It is not scripted"... "We're not thirsty people"... "Teresa got shoved, Al got shoved"
