Brotherly drama abounds in the latest episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Reverend. First off there’s Russy, baby of the family, who’s suddenly getting picked on so much you’d think Angela and Jojo held a meeting to strategize their attacks. Angela is the worst offender, giving the little dude double Wet Willies – as if your standard-variety single Wet Willy wasn’t painful enough. Somebody needs a soap opera to star in.
Jojo gives him plenty of reasons to fret too, picking on the poor kid just because he happens to know his state flowers. OK, maybe he deserves it a little bit. But even Russy’s right-hand man, his brother Diggy, breaks the news to him that yes, he is a wimp. Or maybe he’s just sick and tired of saliva in his ear. He gets a good pep talk from pops, though, who takes him for a ride in his Lamborghini. That’d cheer me up. Even if Rev does drive a few mph slower than your average senior citizen.
Rev is going through some turmoil of his own. Uncle Russell has asked him to invest in his new venture, GlobalGrind.com, referencing something or other about “Schmuck insurance” (insider lingo, I think), and asking for loads of money. Of course considering Russell Simmons is a gazillionaire, I’m not sure why Rev would hesitate, but he struggles with it before finally deciding to invest. Especially after Russy advises him to, and pitches in some cash of his own. He also accepts apologies from Jojo and Angela, but only after they give him $20. No wonder he was named Russell.
