Joey From New York tells us, "I'm a very emotional person, you know, my blood flows red and competition brings out the animal in me." Wait, what color does he think blood flows for unemotional people? Green? Is he a closet Trekkie? In the back, Joey From New York makes a decision. "You know what?" he shoots at Howie, "Next time I'm in that room, I'll walk out, okay? Next time in there, you better step up and be a man." Okay, what does that mean? Howie doesn't know either and says, "I wasn't a man? I wasn't a man?" while Joey From New York talks over him, "This is the second time. This is the second time." "You've been blaming everybody else for your bullshit -- shake somebody's fucking hand to be a man. You be a fucking man!" Howie retorts. I think this is maybe about the fact that Howie wouldn't shake Joey From New York's hand when they left the Judges' Table? It could have happened in the hallway and we didn't see it. It sounds like Howie is trying to say, "I don't need to shake somebody's fucking hand to be a man and I'm not going to shake your fucking hand after what you did to me in there." Joey From New York adds that Howie is lucky he's from Florida because "this guy's from Florida." I think he's referring to NORM! "Oh yeah, I'm lucky," Howie says, pulling the most priceless expression of disgust mingled with disbelief. Howie tells us, "Don't take your shit out on me and think I'm gonna shake your hand like everything's everything. That's not how I am." "Like everything's everything"? I don't know what that means but I do know that I totally have to start using it all the time. "Don't blow through the stop sign, like everything's everything!" or "Hey, you're the one who drank Post Road Pumpkin Ale without me, so don't talk to me like everything's everything!" Howie's not done with Joey From New York. "You know what? I would've been a fucking MAN about it and YOU would have fucking bitched like a little girl, okay? Like you've been doing all day," Howie bellows, standing up. "You want me to go home now? You want me to go home now? I'll go home now," Joey From New York asks. What a weird comeback. Sara N. has covered her face. Howie sits down, "I don't give a fuck what you do! I'm here to do MY best. You do YOUR best. We'll see what happens. Arrightj?" How is Howie not from New York with an accent like that? Beaten, Joey From New York finally shuts up.
