Charlie, at some point,

Riley Burruss! I didn't have sex with him.
No, no, no, no, no, no.

Take me to brunch, so I can eat now.

I can't.
- Yeah. Uh, no, no, it's just very stressful.
- How are you guys not pie people?
- And I know what Riley is saying, right now,
in her head. What did I say after Hudson?
- She said, "My next man, he has to be tall.
I'm not ----ing with any shorties, again."
And then she was like,
"Yeah, I actually really like Liam."
- He's 5'7", one. Two, it's not about the height.
- Now, it's not about the height.
Like, but was it like this, or, like, am I getting closer?
- Everybody should know. Liam is doing great down there.
Got the height where it counts. [laughing]
I don't care how tall you are, if you're an honest person.
He makes my heart beat quick and my stomach turn in butterflies.
- Yeah. - Are you Hannah Montana?
This is so cute. - I feel like it, right now.
- Ariana is single.
She's flirting with Charlie, and she's flirting with Liam.
- We had a great night. - Yes.
- All right, let's go take our picture.
- Let's go outside.
- I have my indoor slippers on. [laughing]
- As a group, I think that we got closer in Vegas.
I'm always in favor of keeping as much peace between me
and the rest of the friend group as possible.
- Love-- three, two, one.
- I think he's trying to get on good terms with the group.
Maybe he's also trying to look like
a different person for Ariana. Who knows?
But I see right through it.
- Shai, you're a bitch.
- It depends how seriously he wants to be with her.
I think Liam is perfectly fine rebound material for Ariana.
He seems-- he seems nice.
I don't-- I don't have anything negative to say about him.
- Ariana tries to tell me he's a good person sometimes,
but the majority of people don't really say
you're a good person. So, if it walks like a duck--
I don't know the saying, but the duck is a dick.

but she definitely did come over drunk at 1:00 AM.
So... - Okay, well, that's fun.

- Yeah, too complicated.
- Come on, bro, a girl comes over drunk at 1:00 AM,
and she has a guy that she is dating.
- I'm not surprised by this information.
- That's how it is, bro.
Yet another angle of interesting sh--
that could go down this weekend.
- Oh, God.
- So, no, I asked.
I was like, "Are you still sharing a room with Liam?"
- That's hilarious. She was like, "Yes, I am."
- She is.
Whole thing is just gonna be weird.
I mean, I'm not gonna be beholden to anybody else,
but if she wants to respect her thing with Liam,
that's, you know, her decision.
I owe him absolutely nothing.
The question is whether he tolerates it or not, you know.
There is an argument, like, if I had a girl
I was talking to, I'd be like,
what the (BLEEP) are you doing going over to someone's house
late night drunk, but she came over as a friend,
and we just hung out with her and her two friends.
I wanna be super clear about that.
- I do think, if she came alone, I'd be like, bro, but--
- Correct.
Well, if she came alone, it would've been crazier.
But at least if she comes with friends,
she has, like, some excuse.
- Dude, would you actually do that, though?
Would you hook up with her?
- Would I have ----ed her?
- Yeah. - Well, why wouldn't I?
Like, what's the downside?
- I mean, I don't know, like Hudson.
- Yeah.
[laughing] I don't know, it's nuanced.
- That reaction tells me everything I needed to know.
- Hudson-- he doesn't seem to be doing all that much
to, like, stay involved, get her back.
I can't really sympathize with him caring all that much
when he's not doing anything about it.
Try to get her back, if you want her.
Do something, just anything.
Don't just, like, bitch from ----ing Atlanta
about the situation
while doing absolutely nothing about it.
So, I can't take his care all that seriously, I guess.
Long story short, I believe Hudson might be
kinda being fake with me just in the hopes that he can,
like, sort of, like, recruit me away
from trying to (BLEEP) Ariana, yeah.
I think, genuinely, that he, like, has been
under the longstanding belief that Ariana low key
wants to (BLEEP) me since last year.
I think that he, like, clocked that.
You know, if you're a long-term relationship
with a girl, you can clock micro things she says.
You know, and frankly, whether she owes
her ex-boyfriend respect by not ----ing me,
is also her decision, you know.
So, I don't feel like I owe anybody, really, anything,
certainly not Liam.
But, yeah, bro, this is gonna be a fun trip.
- For sure.
- Next time, on "Next Gen NYC"...
[screaming] - Ava!
You gotta brake! - Ahh!
- Thank y'all for being here. Let's have a fun weekend.

- The only people who have their own room
are Ariana and Liam.

- I told him don't ask me to be your girlfriend yet.
- Ariana came over-- late night horny booty call.
- That's tea.
- I think she's made it clear to you.
I'm into her, and she's into me.
If the line gets crossed, like,
I'm gonna have a ----ing problem.
- I don't give a (BLEEP). If I wanted to (BLEEP) Ariana,
there's no one at this table that I would not do it for.
