#2915 Next Gen NYC S1E6: Shore War

In short

Recap of Next Gen NYC S1E6 “Shore War,” centered on the cast being forced to celebrate Brooks’s birthday at the Jersey Shore instead of the Hamptons, plus escalating drama around Charlie, money, and relationships.

Guest backgrounds

No podcast guests are featured in the provided transcript; it’s a recap hosted by Ronnie and Ben (What’s Crappin’s) with recurring cast discussion of Bravo’s Next Gen NYC.

Key claims

  • The Shore trip is “anti-Brooks” and mostly happens because Gia insists, repeatedly pulling the group out of NYC.
  • Charlie is portrayed as a cheapskate/freeloader who starts fights, owes money, and insults others as “poor.”
  • Kim Zolciak’s arrival is framed as a “of the people” moment via a Toyota, while her finances and house-sale pressure are discussed.
  • Gia’s Jersey Shore branding is defended as flexible/peaceful, not just stereotypical.

Notable examples

  • Charlie’s “vile” fight with George over a $200 speaker and 1942 bottle-service costs.
  • Georgia touring a bowling alley for a rave with extreme, surreal set ideas (leaky brown water, floating bowling balls, kids dropped by a machine).
  • Dinner at “Little People, Italy” where Kim demands a fan and the group roasts Charlie’s spending and Apple Pay confusion.
  • Charlie’s alleged interest in Ariana and the group’s fear of more drama at the Shore.

0:00Hey guys, it's Paige from Giggly Squad. Okay, can we all agree that hosting is so much fun? And I really do love it. Every weekend, it's come over for snacks, let's make dinner together, and somehow the second you put out a fruit platter, it seems that bugs show up before your friends do. This is why I have to have my Zivo flying insect trap. You plug it in and you let it do all the work. It's specially designed blue and UV light attracts the bugs you didn't know you had and wow did we have a lot like house flies fruit flies gnats and then with zivo bam next thing you know the pests are caught in the sticky cartridge and away from your yummy treats without any mess or strong odors the best part is the design is actually sleek and curved so it hides the bugs it catches keeping them out of sight and when the cartridge is full you just grab the no mess tab throw it in the trash pop in a new cartridge and then you're done no mess no stress So whether you're hosting a dinner party or spending an afternoon baking treats with all your friends and you want to focus on hosting and not constantly swatting at bugs, Zivo has you covered with 24-7 bug protection.

1:07Plug in a Zivo flying insect trap so you can work smarter, not harder, and actually enjoy your time at home. There is such a better way to spend your time than doom scrolling or watching terrible TV. Get some stories in your life, okay? Audible is perfect for that. I use it while I'm cleaning the house, while I'm running errands. I listen to books all day, every day with Audible.

1:34Ben Mandelker: Yeah, they have a massive library of audiobooks and ad-free podcasts. And it is really the perfect thing to turn on when you're taking a long drive, washing some dishes. Like, enrich yourself. New members can start listening with a 30-day free trial at audible.com slash WWC.

1:55Ben Mandelker: What happens when there's so much that happens? Well, hello and welcome to What's What's Crappin's. I'm Ronnie and that's Ben. Hi, Ben. Hi, Ronnie. How's it going? Good.

2:48We'll be back next Monday with a little crappy hour. and until then we're getting caught up with our bravo. This is my last day before I go on break again because I'm going to get my eyelids done. What do you think of that? I'm going to get my hoods. I'm going to get de-hooded.

3:04Ben Mandelker: Yeah, very excited. So tomorrow we'll have a Miami recap up and starting tomorrow with Miami and for the next few days we're going to have a whole bunch of subs in your place. No one could ever fill the shoes of Ronnie Karam ever as I think we all know. Oh, come on. they sure could uh we're gonna have a lot of fun they're gonna step into them yeah we're gonna have a lot of fun with a whole bunch of guests uh from the world of podcasting and beyond really from the world of podcasting so we're gonna have a lot of fun with that in your in your in your absence um so uh i'm excited for you though and i'm excited to see how the eyes are going to look after all this glamorous treatment me too like this they're gonna look like this i'm very excited let's get on with some next gen nisi what do you think of that next gen let's do it i really enjoyed this episode i feel like the cast is starting to really gel uh sometimes i felt like some of the earlier episodes were a little disjointed because i sort of got the sense that um bravo kind of took two concepts and mashed them together it's like they had a children of of bravo stars concept and they also had rich kids of new york city concept and they're like well why don't we put them all together and it's felt like i've enjoyed the show immensely but it's felt a little uneven in some in some ways um and i feel like now the cast chemistry is starting to really come together which is which is lovely yeah um they're all there which i like too because it's hard to get all this group together you know well they're not all there i guess because one of them has a ava has a um dolce a bounce event.

4:39So, sorry. Couldn't make it. I'm choosing Dolce over the shore.

4:45Ben Mandelker: I think it's probably the smart choice. To be honest. I'm going to support her on this one. It's Brooks' birthday episode. Just a toddler, if you will. He is registered, so please get him. He's already got a xylophone. He's got 20 xylophones. No more xylophone. He would really enjoy a big, chunky plastic key ring that has plastic keys on it that he can just put into his mouth and chew on for a little bit. So if anyone could get him that, that would be wonderful. Every time we've tried to get him one, he's afraid of looking like a lesbian toddler. So don't get him one that hooks onto his belt loop.

5:26like my aunt Josie the property manager used to carry a big the biggest chain of keys around her

5:32Ben Mandelker: polyester pant belt belt loop that I've ever seen in my life when that when that song happened in madhouse funhouse funhouse no madhouse fun home fun home fun home when that song happened and that girl sang about the ring of keys and lesbianism I died I will never forget that number because of my aunt josie i was like this is so true there just needs to be some rhyme about rhymes about managing a bowling alley and she's got josie down well i think the same didn't the same writer for that show also do the one that we both saw like a few months ago um the the one about the girl who ages ages quickly and that one had a bowling alley oh did you see that one too kimberly akimbo kimberly akimbo yeah over there i said it overrated i said it i said the silence of the silence that lingered after that because i was just thinking about like do i really want to diss kimberly akimbo but you know what it was fine but also a whole plot line about someone who ages too quickly like stop looking at my diary you know what i mean get the fuck out of here i was very traumatized by the plot I was like, she's getting old so fast.

6:50I was like, get in line, you little brat.

6:53Ben Mandelker: Well, I just wanted to say that there was sort of a bowling alley associated with Fun Home. Unless I'm totally wrong on the same creatives. They did go to a bowling alley. They did. So she worked at the bowling alley, right? Didn't she work there? One of them worked there. Oh, no, she was in love with the guy that worked there. Yeah, she fell in love with a kid who worked at the bowling alley. Been there. Kimberly Akimbo was my mom. Rondalee Rondondo. So this is a podcast recap, again, though, at the moment. Yeah. So this podcast is going nowhere. So you've been warned. OK, so they're all planning on going down the shore, which Gia has invited everyone down the shore for Brooks's birthday, which is probably the most anti Brooks choice you could have made for a birthday.

7:39Ben Mandelker: Yeah. Everyone is really upset about this. You can tell because they're like, um, we're supposed to be on a show about like rich kids in New York City. we're supposed to be going to the Hamptons, but because Gia has to be on the show, now we have to go to New Jersey. They have to do this. Otherwise, Gia's existence on the show sort of doesn't make any sense. They have to do something. In fact, this is twice now that they've been pulled out of New York City to go to New Jersey. I feel like they're kind of like, we did it once. Are we really doing this again? Gia's that friend who lives the furthest and then makes everybody come to her.

8:09Ben Mandelker: Always. Yeah. And because her mom's famous, they kind of have to do it. Like, like Bravo kind of has to do it to make Teresa happy. I guess. But yeah, here we go. Down the shore. So Amira's like, is it Amira or Myra? I feel like I know how to pronounce this name, but today for whatever reason, I don't. I think it's Amira. Oh, so Amira's like, dumb question, but is there a beach? And like, yeah, there's like a boardwalk, a water park. There's fucking tubing. Like it's good, clean fun. So they're talking about who's going to go and is Charlie going to come? Cause Charlie's like fucking dead to me.

8:47I'm not even kidding. Charlie is as dead to me as my skin looks to you.

8:54Ben Mandelker: I was like, wait, what happened? What did I fucking miss? And George was like, he literally said the most vile, disgusting things anyone has ever said to me in my entire life. Aside from that one time, someone said, why don't you throw a party in a club? Ew, gross. Hallmark stores only weird, unconventional spaces for raves. hashtag my life so we see a flashback of the Georgia and Charlie fight and he's like if you were a man I would fucking slap you in the face you fucking poor person you're fucking poor I was like you're the one crying over a$200 speaker sir yeah let's be honest so George is like you know all this fucking crazy shit I'm fucking done I'm like not even kidding Because like growing up on the Upper East Side and being one of the poorer people in those places, Charlie calling me poor was like a re-rejection all over again.

9:49Ben Mandelker: And the ridiculousness of someone using you are poor as an argument when they literally get every single dollar from their parent. Am I right, everyone? Yeah, and Hudson's like, that is unacceptable. My father's billion is built on people loving fried chicken. It is for people who can't afford a lot. How dare you? poor people bought my jewelry and George is like um guys I got his speaker back to him in six days that is a totally reasonable time frame yeah he can go buy another one with the money he should have paid for the box the other night I mean the kid just slithered out of the club somehow and I haven't heard from him in a damn week and Ariana's like yeah he drank a whole bottle of 1942 cough up 2k am i right oh 2k idiots paying 2k for a bottle of 1942 when they're 20 stop so kevin's like yeah he texted me and said thanks for starting the fight because now i get out of it and aria was like oh oh so we started a fight on purpose so he doesn't have to pay i just want to clarify that 1942 tequila is about 140 it depends on the size but it's about $140.

11:04Ben Mandelker: Either way, either way, far lesser than$2 ,000. Not in a club. Not when you get bottle service. Not in the bottle. Not at the box. Not when you got people like Lexi Wood and her family who are like competing to get a table. So they're going to charge a premium. So yeah, you get a section to get a sex show as well. So they're like, let's get Charlie. Let's all get him. And so George is like, um, I'm going to do the best of my noble ability to not get from, provoke the first night because it's it's going to be about brooks this is all about brooks guys right can we just celebrate someone not really understanding how to thread a needle when they're a designer can we just have a day to celebrate that that would be great it's we're going to be selling brooks and also grocery stores because i hear that they have them in new jersey and i really can't wait to see what they look like literally never been

11:57Ben Mandelker: they put the gross in grocery stores so then we go to ariana and hudson and they're baking she's baking something and she's like by the way hey hudson i want to have pictures on before my mom gets here i never thought i'd be saying that my mom was coming to visit me at my apartment in new york city isn't that hilarious and then we see brooks and kade and they are like decorating and kate's like what are we doing with that calendar um it'll be easiest to plan our month the head because fashion week is from here wait is this our one-year anniversary this box over here gross and he's like what are you drawing on the anniversary goes an engagement ring because like we're gonna get engaged right like i honestly thought when i was 25 i'd have like a baby right now i i think the biggest revelation on this show is how much of a team gay that brooks really is I thought he was gonna be just like I'm a fashion gay and I'm like on my phone I'm going to chic events all the time and only hang with the chicest people but he's secretly just like Adam from Shazza Sunset he just is like I want to have a baby I want to wear a sweater and I want to stay inside and crochet and I want a giant whiteboard calendar that helped fill nothing in on except our anniversary I just want a big whiteboard a calendar that says where my mother's going to be every single day.

13:22So then we go back to Ariana. The yarn's coming in. Yeah. When's the yarn supposed to get here? So then we go to Ariana in Hudson's apartment and she calls Gia and Gia's like, I have my friend's birthday party tomorrow night. What do you want to? Because we're going to go down the shore. She's like, yeah, well, my mom's coming, so you want to have dinner with me and my mom? Because we're going to the Jersey Shore we're going to celebrate Brooks she's like I can't do it I have my friend's birthday party tomorrow okay well that's cool I was just gonna ask you to see if you could come but I can't because tomorrow I have my friend's birthday party okay um so then Ariana's talking about how

14:10Ben Mandelker: like she's really excited to go to the casino on this trip and we see flashbacks of Kim at the casino on Tardy for the Party, just like getting ready for the rest of her life, sitting at that slot machine. Sitting at a nickel machine, asking random men around for money as she blows millions, literally millions of dollars. So then we go to Georgia visiting a bowling alley. So chic, so new, so about to be in because I'm going to make bowling alleys in. Hi, I'm Georgia. I'm here for the venue tour. Can I see the space? I think this will make for an awesome rave. Okay. So that brown leak spot there?

14:46Ben Mandelker: Can we make that bigger? Can we just pour a lot of water in here before Saturday night? I just want it to look really leaky and brown. It'll be amazing for the rave. I don't know if you know about this, but the DJ Marshmallow says he loves a water spot, so can we just make it as big as possible? Thank you. Yeah, I was thinking that maybe we could have bowling balls that were hung as chandeliers or something, maybe on fish strings so you can't see the strings, so it'd be like floating bowling balls. I'm bringing bowling balls back. that. Could we do like a past app situation, but like the apps are all past on like bowling pins?

15:16Ben Mandelker: Like you hold, the waiter holds the bowling pin on the bottom, but like there's like a little tuna tartare on the top. What about that? Do you guys do that over here? Instead of like giving bowling balls based on weight, can we have them based on like follower count? Here's what I want to do. I want to put some like mermaids on the alleys and then you can just pretend like they're swimming or even better. Can we just put a tank of water on top of the bowling alleys and then they can just swim in that? I'm just thinking out loud here so you know how like when it's time to put down new bowling pin thingies like a machine drops them could we put like small children instead and then they'll drop the small children and they could do like a synchro synchro pated dance or something hey so that's the area over there where you got the pizza can we put like a turntable on that that way he's like djing with the pizza instead of like a record with i think that'd be really cool actually honey that's already been done on vanderpump rules okay i don't know if you've watched james kennedy seasons but now listen i don't go to raves i'm too old and she goes that's actually not true no i really don't go to raves know that you're not too old oh that's sweet but i've been to concerts okay she goes what's the best concert you've ever been to do not say chapel it's so basic i'm saying no led zeppelin she goes oh my god i have a led zeppelin tattoo check it out that's amazing it's ironic actually it's ironic wait the only tattoo i can see is something that says i'll have what she's having oh yeah did i say led zeppelin i meant um i've seen harry met sally in concert so good i i have a tattoo of rob reiner's mother on my chest basically from that movie it's amazing so um marianne's like you're my kind of girl i said yeah well by the time i'm 30 i want to have like all of my all of like these successful businesses like i want to have like i don't know amazing parties and then like event production crypto water like just water that you drink but it's really crypto marianne i'm like having so many good concepts right now do you have a white board you have like a wall of whiteboard i could use in my moment i just really need to whiteboard you don't have a whiteboard okay well you're white just get me a marker i'll write it on your face do you mind if i like write something in on sharpie on this like on this bowling alley right here uh could you use the gutter instead sure so then we go to ariana and hudson waiting for kim to arrive and here she comes she shows up in a toyota which i think is i think the first time we've ever seen that on bravo i think the closest thing was when lisa hoxian drove her maid's car her maid's honda wants to show that she could be of the people but here comes kim zolciak arriving in a toyota and they were like lisa you're snobby and she's like i drove a poor people car here how dare you so kim either had to take uber x or hitch a ride with one of the pas on the show or who knows what but this big old toyota shows up and she gets out and she's like wow i made it i made it the big city hey ariana can you pay for that car thanks so much sorry about the peep in there it's a long drive from jfk my mom is like forever and will be my best friend but like we're going through it you know the beer mens like i was 21 when they decided to get a divorce you know and then my dad told me and my sister we have no money i mean i was doing brand deals i thought it was coming up in my life but i guess i wasn't dun dun dun so kim's like oh girl okay so arian let me tell you something we need to we need to pray for a buyer for this house because we've had three people on Monday look at it.

19:01Ben Mandelker: Technically, one was termite guy, one was plumber, and one was mold inspector. But none of them wanted to buy a house either, which is too bad. So hopefully the help of that pans out. I mean, look, this house, it's got to sell. I'm about to drop$4 million to be done with it. I mean, this house is appraised at $5.5 million. Listen, Mama needs to play those slots. Have you ever played those Little Shop of Horror slots? That is scary. It was exciting. That's scary. Okay, so I need to get back to it. Okay, Audrey too, almost gave me$45. dollars i mean the house is appraised at five five million more we're gonna sell it about four we're gonna sell it about four million dollars and i hope this house sells too what do you mean i already put this house on the market so it's free i hope you don't mind by the way i told all your step brothers doing this with their hair like oh my god put the house on the market you don't need this toaster do you i need toaster back home it's just funny you know the foreclosure guy loves toast It's hilarious.

19:50I haven't taken it yet.

19:52Ben Mandelker: I hope you don't mind. I told all your stepbrothers they get to move in here. So Cash and Cooper and Clopper and Kabumple, they're all going to get into that room over there with a beanbag.

20:05So she's like, my mom is trying to keep up with bills and it puts me in a tough spot. Okay. And Hudson's like, yeah, she's plenty capable of making her own money. I've watched the classics. Where's Big Papa when you need him? I mean, come on.

20:19Ben Mandelker: kim really here's what kim needs to do and this is what erica jane failed to do but this is what kim needs to do she needs to like say goodbye to the wig because she's the first of all had the same wig since like 2009 so just in general you need to change that up but she needs to go like natural and she needs to become like an earth mother and she needs to be someone who's like very goopy like don't i mean don't go into like don't go down a path of anti-vax we don't want that but like go down i'm sure she's already there we're talking about yeah you're right She's already there. It's time for a commercial.

20:51It's time for a Crappens commercial. There is such a better way to spend your time than doom scrolling or watching terrible TV. Get some stories in your life, okay? Audible is perfect for that. I use it while I'm cleaning the house, while I'm running errands. I listen to books all day, every day with Audible.

21:15Ben Mandelker: Yeah, they have a massive library of audiobooks and ad-free podcasts. And it is really the perfect thing to turn on when you're taking a long drive, washing some dishes. Like, enrich yourself. New members can start listening with a 30-day free trial at audible.com slash WWC. Is there anything better than your team bringing home a W? How about a personal W for your health? If you're 45 or older and at average risk, it's time to screen for colon cancer. Now the number one cancer killer of people under 50 in the U.S. It's easy to put off when screening feels like a hassle, but Cologuard Plus makes it simple.

21:52Ben Mandelker: It's non-invasive, requires no prep, can be completed at home in about 15 minutes, and is 95 % effective. Talk to your healthcare provider or request Cologuard Plus online, Rx only.

22:08Ben Mandelker: We need her to like, she should be doing yoga and spirituality. and people will be like, oh my God, this is ridiculous. But eventually it would work. But she's just still doing the same Kim Zolciak that she was in 2009. And just how Erika Jayne should just change up her image as soon as all the scandal hit. And she refused to do that. If Kim does that, I guarantee she would find success on Bravo again. Well, two things. First, Kim did try to do that, kind of. She became like a Christian influencer for a minute and tried to be like, I'm into Christ. So if you guys want to be into Christ with me, come on over here to Kim's Instagram.

22:42We're going to Christ it up. Just me and you and Jesus. And I was like, please don't. Please don't do this. So she did that. And then second thing is, did you read all the new Erica Jane news? Oh my gosh. So Erica Jane, well, first she performed at Gay Pride with the Scissor Sisters, which was pretty cool. I had a friend sending me videos like, oh my God, Erica's with Scissor Sisters. Okay, the next part, she announced this week.

23:08Ben Mandelker: To be fair, I don't know if you heard, but Kim Zolciak performed with a pair of scissors

23:15in her kitchen. And tried to stab a pair of sisters for the insurance money. But Erica Jane announced her new boyfriend this week. His name is Shrek and he's a military guy. He's known as the chief of Baghdad and in the shirt, in the picture of the article she's walking hand in hand with him and he's wearing a shirt that says slaughter stuff. and uh he's on news things like i like trump i like vance i like you know like he's like hugely conservative and i was like what an interesting choice for eric what an interesting choice to be bringing on i doubt she's going to bring him on the show but his shirt says slaughter things in the stranger things slaughter things font yeah i know but in the stranger things font I didn't notice it was that.

24:08That's funny.

24:09Ben Mandelker: It was like a play on that. Yeah. It's good to see that she's standing up for all the people that she, all the people in her audience, all the people who paid the tickets to see her shows. Yeah. Like she goes from Scissor Sisters to dating Slaughter Things guy. And his name is Shrek. Like I can't, you can't make this shit up. But does he have money? i don't know what he has i guess i don't know what he has yeah that's the question he has a t-shirt collection he has a vibrant t-shirt collection and uh he's got a very violent uh t-shirt collection so we'll see where that goes but yeah kim did try to uh do the christ thing and people did not buy it so um now they're talking ariana's talking about how she's going to go to italy and kim's like you never been you never been to italy come on come on now come on hey you got any cheese i can squirt on this cracker what the hell this cracker's undressed you got anything in a can come on hey you only pouring me half a glass of wine get over here it's a solo cup get your shit in there there's lines on a purpose fill it to the top one fucking loser i can't wait to go to little italy you've never seen spaghetti so small everything just tiny over there just please don't let it be little people italy i don't like little little little waiters i need tall wait only tall waiters all right that's why i never dated someone named little papa only big poppers only big bob i need bigs i need big before their name is there a big italy ariana's like by the way i don't know if i told you but i saw candies well if you think you're bringing candy to dinner you got another thing coming unless candy wants to buy my house which case yes she can come to there i'm like by the way you should be nice to candy you need that you need you need some rich friends right now kim so you better know fairy the hatchet real quickly it's like she tried to sue me she tried to take me to court ariana yeah because you owed her a ton of money you scammer what the hell you owed money try to take you to court well you know poor candy had to listen as you tried to take it to church and that was probably not good for her ears yeah so arian ariana is like i mean i'm not i'm not bringing you to see candy i've never even told you by the way we finally secured a manufacturer for our athleisure uh line that's all about pastels the vision is pastels we got a manufacturer aka someone who's he has a business called i'll take your money it's great so i just met him the other day and he's incredible i'm the president of that i don't remember hiring anybody i've been taking your money for years where's my money where is it and then she really does squirt cheese onto her cracker i thought you were making that up i missed that it's just so it's just so them i loved it i do and i do enjoy that the cheese like a cheese whiz moment i do enjoy it i'm not gonna lie um i don't actually get cheese whiz but i do love the cheese whiz crackers that you buy in the store you know like the peanut butter crackers but they've got the cheese whiz in there instead they taste like chemicals delicious or a handy snack i would love a handy snack right now let's do it man so ariana's like yeah i'm really excited having my own things come to flourishing and hudson's like no she's okay fruition then i know it's fruition god i say flourishing for so long i said flourishing for a very long time and no one corrected me kim's like well i don't know that's just like when i was spelling cat like k-a-t i mean i'm not an idiot we all know it's spelled Z-A-T, right?

27:41Ariana is like, I'm flourishing, so I come to flourishing. You know what I mean?

27:48Ben Mandelker: But that's not where you're, you're not talking, coming to, if you're coming into, if something comes into fruition, it doesn't necessarily mean it's flourishing. Don't try to explain to these people that fruits grow out of the ground, please. I don't want to watch, I don't want to watch their brains leak. I was just cleaning the floor, so my idea of a clean kitchen is coming into flourishing. What don't people understand? So then we go to Charlie and Ava shopping for a birthday gift. Are they at a baby store? Wait, where are they shopping? They're at, I think, a store run by babies because it seems like there's a child that's working there.

28:25Ben Mandelker: And Charlie is, he will not stop pacing. I'm not saying he's on drugs, but he's definitely on drugs. And he's just like, he just paces back and forth. He's like, oh man, you have to come, You have to come to the Jersey Shore, otherwise I'm going to be alone. I'm like, could you stand still, please? We're trying to watch a show. No. And he's like, oh, God, the Jersey Shore? He's like, the Jersey Shore? I mean, I only go to there to fly out in Newark. I mean, I never saw the Jersey Shore show, but I know it's a bunch of ugly chicks and dudes like they're ripped, like beating each other up and shit.

28:54Ben Mandelker: Excuse me, sir. It is not ugly chicks and ripped dudes. It is ugly chicks and ugly men, too. Okay? Yeah, what the hell? What kind of thing is that to say? How dare you? I hope he gets attacked by that entire cast. I would love to see that. He will. Yes. This guy is such a piece of shit. I will take any one of the Jersey Shore people over him because, you know, the Jersey Shore people, they were icons of a generation. But he is such a piece of shit. He has done nothing with his life. He has done half of what Snooki had done before walking into the Jersey Shore for the first time. He's done half of what the situation and whatever the situation did at that time.

29:28Ben Mandelker: And this situation did a lot of stuff going into that season. He's done half of that. And all he has, because he's accomplished so little in his life and done so little and disappointed so many, all he has to cling on to is this snobbery. Because it's the only thing that can separate him from failure is to have this idea that he doesn't do these things. You've never even done a third of what these people have done. You haven't done gym, tan, or laundry in your life. How dare you? You better step down, sir. so they're like okay um so what's the vibe of your friend um does he like colors neutrals what's his vibe he's a toddler obsessed with his mother okay well um i'm gonna just leave you guys to that i'll just be standing over here in the back just let me know if you need anything yeah so it was like yeah i have to go to an event in the hamptons and they just changed the fitting to tomorrow instead of today so i probably am not gonna go and try it's like i mean i wish you were there i mean oh god like now i'm gonna be all alone yeah i'm going to a brand event which means i've got to go to a fitting and like i don't know if i can do i have to prioritize it's like yeah well it's like i mean why don't you just come the day after yeah well unfortunately i'm going to a brand event in the hamps okay ava we got it we got it you're going to the hampset for brand events he's like yeah but if you're not there i'm going to be down bad because you know dylan's probably going to pull some flaky bullshit why don't we get the story of what happened with dylan because last week he owed dylan four thousand dollars and this week dylan's moving out you know there's something weird going on dylan is like he's not on the poster of this show but he's had a role for sure and they were buddies and then suddenly he owes dylan money and now Dylan's on.

31:22Ben Mandelker: And Dylan's also like, I need to get back to focusing on work. Charlie's been a bad influence on me. It's like, something happened here. Yeah, this is fishy and they're not telling us and I don't like it. So Ava's like, wow, they have a lot of baby clothes here. Which is perfect. And she's like, yeah, the clothes make me want a baby, but I'm not there yet. And Charlie's like, I was born there. Let's just have a kid and get it over with. My dad will give me a lot more money if I have a kid. come on yeah man so then he's like well when Ava says she might not go that means she doesn't want to go and why you know the reason why I really want Ava there is because you know and why I want Dylan there is because there's like drama that I can just foresee happening with Georgia and all the bullshit that's going on plus Jersey people gross disgusting yeah so we go to Gia who's getting glam before a fashion shoot so she's FaceTiming with Teresa Teresa like are you getting ready for the photo shoot it?

32:19You know what you doing over here? You getting ready for the photo? Blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink. She's like, yeah, I did my fittings. It's gonna be like really retro Italian, like a postcard vibe. Like, Sophia Loren.

32:38Ben Mandelker: What is this photo shoot for? No, like, I'm like, Charlie, you're so dismissive and so snobby about New Jersey, but then we come to Gia and I'm like, what what's going on here i'm like she's doing a photo shoot for what posh um g um so i'm looking up um photo shoot vince camuto gia judice um i don't know but she it's she's sipping she's eating a pizza or she's serving a pizza it's oh is this a is this a shoe company vince camuto well i don't know they're not showing shoes maybe it's a purse because there's a lot of purses in these pictures when she's uh drinking a glass of wine and there's a giant purse on the table and then when she's getting a pizza out of the oven with a huge purse where did you find this photo shoot do you want me to show you right here on the screen so people can see us what is this image share screen window crap it's on demand exclusive exclusive okay It's not audio content.

33:44Let me make it bigger. Okay, can you see?

33:47Ben Mandelker: Oh, it's nice. This is the one where she's... Oh, that's... It looks just like Sophia Loren pulling a pizza out of the oven. There's a big shadow behind her. It's not a great picture, I'll tell you that. It's like hard lighting. Look at the... Yeah, and then this shadow. This is not great, I'm going to say. I do love it that she drank the entire carafe of wine, though. And this bag is humongous. This bag is bigger than Gia. it's it's a vince camuto specialty it's a come to a bash it's it's a design it's okay accessories fine great yeah vesuvio bakery she's in a pretty like okay gia we want you to be our model okay so what we're gonna do is we want to style you so that way you look like you're 47 years old we think this will really sell the product yeah um but you know hey there you go working so good for her you doing the photo thing Oh,

34:46Ben Mandelker: okay. So she's doing that. So Gia says, I think a lot of people have preconceived notions about the Jersey Shore, but the Jersey Shore is what you make of it. It can be a peaceful place. You can go play miniature golf, or you can be like my bitch aunt and throw cheese all over a deck somewhere. You make it what you want. So back with Ariana, Kim and Hudson, they're having dinner in Little People, Italy. and Ariana's like, oh my God, children really do work here, mom. She's like, I told you. I told you there was going to be little people running all over the place. Did you see that little kid who just picked his nose and threw a pizza in the air?

35:21Ben Mandelker: Hey, who's that guy over there making love to a lady with a culotta and then her mom is joining in? Oh, that's just the guy from that one season of Jersey. We don't talk about him anymore. I was secretly hoping that guy was going to show up. Remember? Because he had that restaurant in Little Italy. yeah yeah what was his name at uh sant no santa was santa was the mom i don't remember the guy nicole uh look it up a reach i think it was like alberici or something like that something like that twins jerry yeah i don't remember new jersey restaurant owner restaurant doing really great work here reno reno yeah reno reno angelo's of mulberry street come in here whenever you want to come in here yeah this my place is your place you want to meet boy you gotta meet paul that's what you come when you come to reno's all right you know i think we should have the i think it's time to bring the twins back because anytime someone says uh remember that one season of jersey people just go the twins they don't even mention amber marchese thank god but it's always like oh yeah the twins no one even really knows anything about them they just know that there were twins there was a season where there were twins and that's it um okay so uh riley comes and it's not awkward at all it's like hi everybody and she's like oh my god honey so good to see you how are you you look so pretty was that was that outfit bought with the money your mom stole from me that's great have a seat the the children around here are your waiters don't let them make me don't let them make you uncomfortable fuck away from me you little brat i don't want to get get a big person to serve me okay you're not old enough to serve me so um kim's like all right well okay so i'm gonna i need a fan because i'm gonna fucking die over here well i'm sure we can get one at radio check no one no i need someone who knows who i am because If I don't feel famous, I'm going to die.

37:19Ben Mandelker: I need a fan. Get me a fan. So they tell her what a dick Charlie is and how he spent all this money in the bottle section of the bar. And Kim's like, I mean, come on. Come on, bro. Just stay home and drink bottles of wine. What the hell? Yeah, Kim, known for saving money. Kim, how many millions have you gone through in literally five minutes? Stop. Hey, I put the gal in frugal, okay? Okay. So, Ariana. Charlie is the Kim Zolciak of this cast, just like stealing money. She's like, wait a minute, you had$14 ,000 to steal? Well, shit, why did I only ask for two? What the hell, Charlie? Those are damning words, saying that Charlie is the Kim Zolciak of this cast.

38:01Or the freeloader, you know, the one who just wants to use everybody for their money and pretends they're the rich one.

38:07Ben Mandelker: Sounds familiar. Yep. So, they tell about the bill, and she's like, what? and Riley's like and then we hop in the car and I say Charlie put your card down you go first and he says I don't have a card everyone knows that I have Apple Pay which by the way hello is 2025 or 2024 when this was filmed how do they not have Apple Pay at the box okay who's not well and also the box just on that if you have Apple Pay and your friend is paying it on a credit card you send them the Apple Pay that moment like yeah what the hell it's called also like it's also called Venmo like it's literally I don't understand why they are in this situation.

38:44Ben Mandelker: Why doesn't he just Venmo right then and there? It doesn't make any sense. That's what I mean. It's weird. So,

38:52it's like the future. So, figure it out. So, they have dinner and basically they just talk shit about Charlie and what an asshole he is. And then Riley's like, yeah, and then he randomly brought up wanting to sleep with Ariana. Anna. And she's like, what? Does she know that Hudson's rich as hell? Look at him. You think I'd let her date the physical embodiment of fried chicken if he wasn't rich? Come on. Come on.

39:24Ben Mandelker: Does he sort of look like the lady in election whose brother won school president? Perhaps. But that's okay.

39:34So Hudson's like, yeah, the second we met that guy, the first night, He just looked her up head to toe. She goes, who, me? And he's like, well, both of us probably. So who knows which one he's in for? And Hudson's like, yeah, it makes sense. He doesn't want to be friends with me. He wants to fuck my girlfriend and then make me pay for a section.

39:56Ben Mandelker: Kim's like, wait a second. Are you saying there's a world in which my daughter could be in a throuple with two rich guys? Because this ain't sounding so bad.

40:08Here comes one right now. There is such a better way to spend your time than doom scrolling or watching terrible TV. Get some stories in your life, okay? Audible is perfect for that. I use it while I'm cleaning the house, while I'm running errands. I listen to books all day, every day with Audible.

40:31Ben Mandelker: Yeah, they have a massive library of audiobooks and ad-free podcasts. And it is really the perfect thing to turn on when you're taking a long drive, washing some dishes. Like, enrich yourself. New members can start listening with a 30-day free trial at audible.com slash WWC. Hey guys, it's Paige from Giggly Squad. Okay, can we all agree that hosting is so much fun? And I really do love it. Every weekend, it's come over for snacks, let's make dinner together, and somehow the second you put out a fruit platter, it seems that bugs show up before your friends do. This is why I have to have my Zeevo flying insect trap.

41:11You plug it in and you let it do all the work. It's specially designed blue and UV light attracts the bugs you didn't know you had. And wow, did we have a lot. Like house flies, fruit flies, gnats. And then with Zeevo, bam. Next thing you know, the pests are caught in the sticky cartridge and away from your yummy treats without any mess or strong odors. The best part is the design is actually sleek and curved, so it hides the bugs it catches, keeping them out of sight, and when the cartridge is full, you just grab the no mess tab, throw it in the trash, pop in a new cartridge, and then you're done.

41:44No mess, no stress. So whether you're hosting a dinner party or spending an afternoon baking treats with all your friends, and you want to focus on hosting and not constantly swatting at bugs, Zeevo has you covered with 24-7 bug protection. Plug in a Zivo flying insect trap so you can work smarter, not harder, and actually enjoy your time at home.

42:29Ben Mandelker: like, if this is hard, this is so heavy. I don't have the upper body strength for them. I don't want to have killed the fly because I hate conflict. Like, I don't want to confront the fly with my racket. It's too much. It's scared. I'm going to cry. So then George is packing. She's like, okay, this one needs to be washed. That one's dirty. That one picks up on my BO. This one's a no. I don't think a tutu is going to land. Fucking George. You know what? I'll bring them all. I'll bring them all. We're in the mall at once. then amyra is packing she's like oh my god so places i will go if you invite me immediately south of france the hamptons abiza london not mayorka because i'm banned if it was not for and brooks i would not be going to the jersey shore hello building my brand as a fashion model why are we going to oceanside and how is nobody asking her why she was banned from mayorka yeah i don't even know what that really even means that's one of those things where people say that i'm like i'm not gonna even ask you because i know you're dying to tell the story and the story's gonna be bullshit so i'm gonna let you like die on the vine with that one oh well i just looked it up and it says no mallorca has not banned amyra the claim that amyra was banned appears to be a joke made by herself on social media amyra disfame is known for her humor okay ronnie so get the fuck over and stop googling everything during a podcast wait was that was that that's a very funny thing that was that like on snopes or something i just looked it up i just looked up majorca band amira and it's like no they haven't so stop spreading this about amira ronnie so now we cut to brooks on the phone with ava how many bangs do you think you're gonna bring and she's like honestly one to zero because i'm not planning to come but i'll just say one Really?

44:20Ben Mandelker: Yeah, like one duffel. Because, you know, I have to leave on day earlier because I don't know if you know this. I have a brand event at the Hamptons that I have to go to. Yeah, Dolch & Gabs. Dolch & Gabs. So sorry. And then she tells us a random thing. She's like, in my family, we have a birthday tradition where everybody goes around the table and then they say, like, something that they absolutely love about you. And that's, like, my favorite thing. I'm like, here's the microphone. Oh, really? Hello. So this is Anwar here. We have tradition in our family where when it's Charlie's birthday, we go around the table and tell him all the things that he has failed at.

44:53Ben Mandelker: Okay, I'll start. Everything! Haha, so fun. For Charlie's birthday, we go around the table and say what we could be doing instead of celebrating such a loser. I'll go first, golfing with someone who's not such a loser.

45:09Ben Mandelker: We have a tradition where we talk about the things that we would love to throw at the loser of the family and then we throw it. So I'll go first. Apples and oranges. Here you go, duck Charlie! For Charlie's birthday, we go around the table and we say, who has more muscle tone than Charlie? I'll go first, bunny rabbit. We have tradition where we say, what sort of thing that could be served in a bowl looks most like Charlie? I'll start, white pudding. You don't work out like your roommate. Happy birthday. So Hudson and Ariana pack and we find out that he's like obsessed with jewelry. So he's like, yeah, I'm not jealous.

45:46I'm competitive and if anyone thinks they're going to get in the way of this relationship you've got a full head of very long split ends to deal with. So come at me.

46:00Ben Mandelker: He's like, yeah, I like my jewelry. Not to show off. It's because I fucking love my jewelry. Okay? This is what I like. I actually like his style. I'm shocked how much I like Hudson. After the trailer I was like, oh God, look at this guy trying to be like the Fonz. I actually like hudson the most i do like his style i do think he will get mugged and robbed at one point and he should be very careful and i think like it might be time for him to explore like some costume pieces maybe go to h m and get some five dollar necklaces like i have and then he'll be set to go yeah you know he's one of those people that get mugged but you still love him you know you're like that's how you learn you know and also i like that he is somebody that can learn lessons because we've seen that he now has short hair that looks very healthy and i'm glad that he watched his show and was like you know what my hair looks like shit so i need to get that fixed like he took someone's advice and listen i love a learner i love a learner and you know i can't stand charlie but when he said he says you know he's too rich to be showing off as well this christian rock band lead singer lookalike i was like it's kind of an accurate read it is giving a little scott staff i know have you ever seen have you wait who is it i'm sorry i talked over you as usual scott's creed their creed singer i was gonna say have you seen lead singers of christian bands because they're usually hot i mean like a christian band knows how to get a lead singer because the leader of christianity is jesus who was hot like you don't see any pictures of ugly Jesus, you know, that's why he has a whole religion.

47:34So I figured that's not like that bad of a diss, but yeah, Charlie's being a bitch. He's like, yeah, he just like flaunts his wealth. Yeah. It's like too rich to be showing off his wealth. Okay. All you do is talk about your wealth and call people poor. Be quiet, Charles. Yeah.

47:51Ben Mandelker: That's the thing. If you hadn't just like ended an episode being like, you're poor, um, I might agree with you on this one. Like, you know, what did uh dorinda say um written money money screams whispers yeah yeah so yeah wealth whispers but charlie also talks like he is old money and as far as i can tell he's not old money his dad is like a mutual fund guy that's like uh yeah that's that's new money i hate to say i think he just like adopted old money ways yeah so um they're talking about whether they've been to the shore or whatever and um he charlie's like yeah i'm mad excited i'm trying to like gamble my dick off tonight so unfortunately i only have apple pay so i hope you guys brought some cash yeah so then um brooks and charlie and chloe are talking and brooks is like, so I told Cade that we're all riding together in the car and he was like, are Chloe and Charlie rekindling?

48:55Ben Mandelker: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Charlie's like, are we? No, the flame is out. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. He's like, unfortunately Cade has work and my mom's in Bali. My mom's like living her best life in Bali while I'm sitting in a car with Charlie. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. so then um charlie calls ariana and he's like are you on the way she's like yeah are you she's like yeah we're and then they're basically saying we're gonna go um that's just coordinating it's like yeah yeah it's just kind of boring stuff so then um we find out that dylan moves out but we don't find out why so that's we've already talked about that it's annoying and shy is gonna come late so you know they're talking about who's gonna be coming and who's not and charlie is like yeah i'm actually excited to see ariana and hudson you know because i saw ariana weeks ago at the box and then uh hudson got stuck with the bill because riley was like dylan charlie get out we don't want your money so like riley was on some shit so whatever this is gonna blow fuck maybe i'm not excited god everyone hates me right now right yeah so then uh and a car the other car riley georgia amir and kevin are driving and riley's like my mom's actually pissed she was so bewildered and george was like wait your mom was like what over charlie question does your mom have any sort of unorthodox spaces to have a rave because i could totally see myself loving your mom she's like no because of the whole thing and how we pay for the drinks and we see a flashback of candy be like so yeah they're all just like stewing about how charlie is so cheap for being so rich and charlie sent a text to georgia and was like i mean are we gonna get along or do we have a beef like just warn me now and she's like i'm not even gonna write him back because like what the fuck that's not cool i mean he has no friends left so he's about to step into a house full of people he has beef with so that's why he's trying to be nice to me now

51:01Ben Mandelker: and ariana's talking about like but she said she says from the moment i met charlie we had a beef you know and he's just like progressively gotten into like owing money and telling my friend he wants to fuck me and i have a boyfriend blah blah blah we're all mad at charlie okay but we also need to dial it in i guess maybe for brooks or something like that she's like we're here to celebrate a dear friend and we're not like how can we not have a great time okay look at all these amazing people in the car yeah so then uh they start arriving at the jersey shore and everyone's like wow this isn't as shitty as we thought you know like everybody's opinion is like wow this is way not as shitty so then um georgia is like oh my god shut the front door they have mac and cheese there's like a whole deli bar over there this is fucking crazy yeah yeah because when they're arriving chloe was chloe asked um amira's like how is your drive amira and amira's like it was good but we had a little detour and so you think it's going to be that they went someplace like awful something terrible happened and all that happened was that they went to a grocery store and Amira's like, I'm not going to go in there.

52:06Ben Mandelker: I absolutely loathe grocery shopping. Ugh! And George has never been into a grocery store, so she's like, oh my god, like, mac and cheese? What the hell? I liked this episode because we got to see a little bit more of Amira's personality and her quirks, and her rear disdain for grocery shopping was, I was like, okay, we're starting to see something here. We're starting to see the cracks in this lady. And so, but Georgia being like, oh my God, they have an entire aisle dedicated to something called cereal. I don't even know what that is, but so exciting. That podcast was so popular, they even sell it at grocery stores.

52:53Ben Mandelker: Insane. You guys, they sell lettuce here. You can actually get like a whole farm's worth of produce in a grocery store. Can you even believe it? So Gia's in the kitchen and she announces they're going to do a seafood boil. And Brooks is like, do they have sharks? And she goes, Brooks, it's the ocean. That's where sharks live. And he goes, so yeah. Saying that there are sharks here. The shark is not coming to dinner. She's like, we're making dinner. But what about the sharks? They won't be able to make it up into the house. It's okay. And he goes, wait, I like have a shark tracker on my phone. I just look at it in general.

53:31It could be scary. Sharks are scary.

53:34Ben Mandelker: Well, a lot of shark content on NBCU. So then Brooks is like, I'm just like, I have a really big fear of just like animals in general. Unless it's like a dog. I like dogs and hamsters, not flies. That's why I brought this tennis racket. And Amira doesn't. She's like, I got stung by a jellyfish last summer in Ibiza. Scary fish, alligator, sharks. I mean, I literally have goosebumps thinking about that. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I got banned from Jellyfish Mallorca. So sad. So then Brooks is like, hey, everyone, big news. My Instacart arrived. I got yarn and crochet needles. They're like, what?

54:20Ben Mandelker: They're like, is crochet a brand? Like, yeah, we're going to make friendship bracelets. Charlie, do you want to learn how to crochet? He's like, no, it's not crochet o 'clock. oh charlie so funny he's like where'd you even learn how to do that and he goes yeah charlie's like yeah i went to the knitting camp because it was knitting club i like that brooks has all of these boundaries on what's called a club and what's called the camp in his life because remember a few weeks ago i was like it wasn't tennis what did you say it was like a tennis intensive it was a tennis camp it was a tennis intensive he's like brooks is like adamant he's like he refuses to say camp.

54:59Ben Mandelker: He's like, I went to a knitting intensive. How cute that Brooks showed up with like, that Brooks just wants to crochet. Like, I feel like I never saw this side of him before. Now I know why Meredith is like, he's just a child. Because he is actually so it turns out to be very sweet and innocent. So George is like, um, like, I don't get it. Grocery stores are boring. I could have watched like two shows in the time that it takes to go to the grocery store. And Hudson's like, I mean, it's getting close to$400, guys. And someone's like, well, I mean, 400 divided by 12, that's not bad. Think about it.

55:35And Ariana's like, wait, you mean 11? Because someone's not going to contribute. And George is like, I don't get it. Yeah, because like, someone's not going to pay. I don't get it. They only have Apple Pay. Oh.

55:51Ben Mandelker: Oh, yeah. I saw apples at this grocery store do you know they sell those there they were that what apple pay is yeah so then we go to the back to the house and uh charlie's like i need to smoke so it's time to eat and amira's like um love you but i can't eat seafood don't do it i'm not a fish person so i'm gonna just order doordash don't love seafood have you heard of my jolly fish stories why are you questioning me sort of odd to announce that you don't like seafood the moment that the seafood hits the table. Like when it's obvious that they're cooking seafood, why did you not order the DoorDash ahead of time?

56:26Ben Mandelker: Like, why did you wait until that moment to then announce that you're going to order your food? Yeah. So Riley comes and she, yeah, no, you're right. Like coordinate, coordinate a little bit. And so Riley's like, well, uh, Charlie's a dick, but what are you going to do? We'll just keep our distance. So they hug awkwardly. And then, um, Brooks is talking to Georgia about her ride here and she's like well we made a couple stops but we made it in one piece it was like my first time in a grocery i mean not like ever but like mostly like usually i'm there like ironically but this time i actually had to put things in like something they call a car i mean it was weird it was weird it jingles i can i can literally count on my hands how many times i've gone to grocery store um like literally i just scratch in the numbers on the dirt and then And I just do some little math and that's how I find my total.

57:21Ben Mandelker: How many times I've been, that's how I count on my hands. So were you poor or were you not? Cause like half of your story is like, I grew up poor, but I noticed that this time she kind of changed it to where she's like, well, I wasn't like poor, but I was like poorer than most people on the other side. Yes. I know that she said that too. Poorer. She's still pulling the poor card. Well, she obviously she was pulling the poor card because she was taunted for being poor. but I guess maybe the pain was that they weren't actually poor they just were poor and she was being associated with the actual poor

57:57so they're talking about Charlie and she's like I don't want drama on your birthday he's like why it's fun tell me what happened and she's like well he went berserk over a portable speaker like a berserk okay like I mean I said shit back I'm not innocent but like I mean he was calling me poor And he called me a dumb bitch and said he would slap me in the face. And Brooks is like, what? So he's like, I can't believe this is happening on my birthday. We need some sort of binding principle to bring us together. I guess crochet is not going to work.

58:29Ben Mandelker: Well, maybe it'll be Red Robin. Because in walks Amira with some Red Robin. And George is like, what is that? Did you literally kill a Robin? Are you eating a Robin for dinner? She's like, mozzie sticks. and she's like ew gross i don't even know what that is but i feel like it's very new jersey-ish because yeah well fuck you i'm gonna eat them okay yeah i didn't eat it all earlier i haven't had any food all day let me have my mozzie sticks and georgia goes huh the azempic's wearing off which is like you bitch how dare you that is so classless and tacky so now she's mad and we get the beginning of the amira versus georgia fight that hopefully will last a decade controversy yeah this would be the mozzie stick fight of the century and she's like i'm comfortable in my body i'm hot as fuck and i don't need some like little pale like white cheated little bitch telling me what i've i shouldn't shouldn't be eating are you a doctor is it georgia mccann md i don't think so so so then we come back from commercial and riley's telling charlie he should like uh like come outside so she can throw water balloons at him.

59:36Ben Mandelker: He's like, okay. And so they're all sort of joking around and everything. And then Charlie calls Ava and he's like, when are you coming here? When are you getting here? She's like, oh yeah, I can't come now. I'm so bummed. I have a brand activation in the Hamptons. So I got to go to that. I don't know if you've heard. Hamptons. So then they get in the car to go to the casino. And she is like, so Charlie, do you ever get annoyed with being the center of the drama? He's like, I just leave when I'm annoyed. Yeah, but like, honestly, like I feel like that's like a coward move because like, just address it and tell everyone to shut the fuck up if that's how you feel.

1:00:19It's like, not worth my energy. Worth your energy? How about like painting your character? Come on, Charlie. Were you a wuss? Like, come on, paint your character better. You need to be more self-aware. Gia, you have nothing to do with anybody here, except you keep dragging them miles away from home.

1:00:39Ben Mandelker: I know. He hates Gia. You can tell he hates being in New Jersey. We didn't even talk about the fact that when he went out to his room, they had to walk behind the house. And as they were doing that, someone from a neighboring house yells out to Gia, I love your mother. And he's like, oh, great. I have to be next to that. Which is so hypocritical because he's literally on the same network that made her mother famous. And he's acting like he's not on a reality show. You're just as low as everyone else. But the fact that he has to even be in New Jersey, let alone talk to Gia, daughter of a famous New Jerseyite, and now be lectured by Gia, it's like his full nightmare.

1:01:15Ben Mandelker: And I guess because it is his nightmare, I love it. Can't aluminum shame when you're inside a recycled bean. Okay, Charles. Okay, Charles. So Brooks is like, I'm in my own world because they're fighting. And she was like, yeah, but you say the wrong things to the wrong people, Charlie. And then we see this new thing of Brooks just zoning out while we hear his voiceover. And he's like, honestly, crocheting is so slept on. We should bring it back. Like, I don't know why it's giving geriatric vibes. I should drop a crochet tutorial. And he, by the way, he's crawling farther and farther into the back of this car.

1:01:55Ben Mandelker: First, he like crawls a row back and then he like crawls into like the way back. And now he's like in the trunk practically. He's like, I want to be away from everyone. It's like, he's like a, he's like a little puppy when there's like thunder outside, just like running for cover. Yeah. And Charlie is like, this is an example of a time I want to leave because like, I'm sitting here and I'm like getting this in my ear. Like I would, I would prefer peace. Okay. And I'm not a fake person. Okay. And Brooks was like, I'm going to cry. I would cry, but I hate confrontation and I hate the confrontation of tears leaving my eyes.

1:02:30Ben Mandelker: I'm miserable. So Charlie's like, whatever, I'm going to leave. I'm going to Uber away. He's, he's basically doing like the 11 year old thing. Like I'm going to, I'm going to go. I don't want, I'm not going to stay here anymore. And everyone's like, whatever. So now they're, they're all pretty good at being on a reality show. So they get to the casino and And Amira goes right up to Georgia and is like, they're all downstairs. And I think it's wise of you to just go downstairs and you guys hash it out. And Ariana's like, yeah, you can be the wrong person and go downstairs and hear somebody out, Georgia.

1:03:00And she's like, all right, fuck, let's go. What the fuck ever. Like, I just went to a grocery store today. Like, carpe diem. You know what I mean? Like, I'm down.

1:03:11Ben Mandelker: Yeah. So she's like, I don't really understand why I need to talk to him. But, like, he's probably too stubborn to leave. So I'll go do it. Whatever. So then she goes out there and he's like, oh, I'm sorry for a fight. Sorry for what I said. I shouldn't have said that whatever and he's like hugging on her. Okay, here's the thing though. The things that were said in that conversation on both sides were irreparable and I want nothing to do with the situation. Everyone knows everyone wants to know why I can't look you in the eye and vice versa. And that's I'm going to tell you why I can't look you in the eye because I rub my eye with my hand and now I've got pink eye.

1:03:42so there are you happy she's like yeah and everyone's upset with you and to some degree you know and i can't even believe i said that because that's the name of a deodorant and normally i would like um just not say it at all but that's how mad you've made me and he's like well who else is mad at me besides you and riley and then so we go to the rest of the group who are now at the table and she is like this is so stupid well who else is mad at

1:04:08Ben Mandelker: you okay question does this casino have a white a whiteboard room because i'm gonna list a whole bunch of people who are mad at charlie okay he's like well how about i just go home bro well and amara's like if you leave that insinuation is going to become a full-blown fire he's like i don't know what that even means but whatever this is just never ending reality stars am i right um she's like you know i don't believe that charlie doesn't care i mean he does care he He does. And he's like, I wouldn't stay for my own mother right now. I'm leaving. So now it's dinner. My mom is like, oh, I'm sorry, sweetheart.

1:04:43Ben Mandelker: I think you got it wrong. I wouldn't stay for you. That's how it went. Okay. Slam. Abandoned minute issue slam. So then we go to the table and everybody's arriving to dinner except Charlie. He's sitting down on a bench moping because nobody likes him. And he's like, is this the shore? It's not that shitty. So then he's a real charmer that one. So George is like guys at the table everyone at the table assembled I told Charlie it's irreparable what you said to me, but don't leave on my accord And he said I would never get into a Honda Accord I said I don't even know what that is We laughed and then Amira was upset that I insinuated that other people have issues with you But if I were him, I would leave too.

1:05:25Ben Mandelker: I mean if everyone kind of has like something to say and she's like no But he shouldn't leave. He should be able to have a good time. You guys have always been good friends so for you to be like to why are you flipping a switch so fast and then they're like whoa she's not she didn't flip a switch so fast during that fight you know because so then riley defends georgia's like if someone said i if you were a man i would slap you right now would you be considering that like like flipping a switch yeah i guess not yeah and she's like a hundred percent but like we could be in the same room like do i respect you no but like let's continue so then um charlie comes and um he's like yeah i just want to gamble so brooks goes to take a selfie with ariana and then um but that's wait it's not just a way it's not just a selfie with ariana because he takes he takes a selfie with ariana and she's sitting next to charlie and she's like charlie look get in the picture and this is unacceptable because if you're mad at Charlie, why in any world would you ever be asking him to smile for the camera?

1:06:33Ben Mandelker: Horrors. Oh, so George is like, yeah, I can't believe you just said Charlie. Look. And she's, yeah, because we're taking a picture, Georgia. Just yeah. But like, I just feel like everyone's fake as fuck. And then like Ariana, who I thought got it. It's like literally taking selfies with them. Like, what the fuck? You didn't mind taking selfies with him when he was being a dick to everyone else georgia it's only yeah you you definitely did not mind when he microaggressed riley and you still were being kind to him so sorry that it's now come over to you yeah so now she's like georgia's talking shit about ariana but she's like doing in front of her face but has her hand over her mouth so ariana can see this she's like what the fuck what's going on and george is like i mean he could fucking kill my mother and everyone would still be taking selfies with him right now like what is the boundary yeah well instead of talking like this with your hand over your mouth like that's crazy like everyone can still hear you like listen you're like cheese whiz on a cracker it's not subtle okay so like just say it okay it's like your point you're out of pocket if you're out of pocket as fuck so chloe's like everyone quiet everyone this is chloe speaking i got joe magic is here joe joe holiday is here he's a magician wow so this guy starts doing magic.

1:07:54Charlie's like, magicians are fun as fuck.

1:08:00Ben Mandelker: Everyone's like grumbling. Everyone's so mad. George is like, it's just like a lot of bullshit. I have like Ariana waiting to defend Charlie, which by the way, Ariana's not defending Charlie at like literally not even a trace of it. And she's built this whole thing up based off of a selfie moment. And she's like, Amira is pissy for some reason, probably because the Ozempic ran out of, you know what I'm saying, everyone? Mozzie sticks. And just like that, everyone's in a really bad mood. And I'm like in the center of it's like ridiculous and yes the seven of clubs was my card joe holiday congratulations

1:08:31um so she's like yeah ariana said she didn't have a problem with charlie i never said i didn't have that so get your facts straight and then we get brooks's inner thoughts he's like i really need a straw in this drink i can't eat i can't drink without a straw it's like really hard

1:08:46Ben Mandelker: like who invented liquid in mouth i mean the poor kid is sitting here at dinner no one's even talking into him. It's terrible. I wonder if I could do like a collection of casino apparel. They need it. Poor kid. He's 29. Who gives a fuck? Yeah, like athleisure at a casino is kind of slept on. You know, I'm gonna crochet like really fancy covers for oxygen tanks. Have you ever been to an Italian restaurant where you were served by only little, little people? I have. My mom freaked out. She tried to take one of them home in her purse. So basically, it ends with them all fighting and Brooks hoping to have some sort of like inner peace.

1:09:29Ben Mandelker: And whether are they ever going to be able to get through this? I don't know. Oh, my God. Oh, the drama of it all. That was a fun episode. I'm still loving the show. Yeah, it's a good show. Everyone, thanks so much for being here. I will see you next week. But Ben will see you manana with a little. Yes. I'm going to miss you guys. I love you guys.

1:13:14There are so many complicated things on Bravo. Like opening the front door on Summer House. Or figuring out how to wear a Linfinity dress. Or understanding Tom Schwartz's purpose on the Valley.

1:13:23Ben Mandelker: In a world full of confusing choices, thank goodness for Nature Raised Farms. They believe that food shouldn't be complicated. Especially chicken. But the freezer aisle often makes it that way. Too many options, too many additives, too many compromises. Do I like complicated chicken? No. No. Chicken should be fun. Complicated chicken, not fun. Chicken should meet a higher standard. And Nature Raised Farms is free from gluten, dairy, and soy. There are no seed oils and no artificial ingredients. Also, Nature Raised Farms chicken is a good source of fiber and only between 8 to 12 grams of fat per serving dependent on the product.

1:14:00Ben Mandelker: Chicken, that's just chicken. When food is that simple, there's a quiet joy in it. And we love quiet joy. like the moment Erika Jayne puts down her microphone. Keep your life simple with your new favorite chicken. Nature Raised Farms Chicken, because chicken shouldn't be complicated. Hey guys, it's Paige from Giggly Squad. Okay, can we all agree that hosting is so much fun? And I really do love it. Every weekend, it's come over for snacks, let's make dinner together, and somehow the second you put out a fruit platter, it seems that bugs show up before your friends do. This is why I have to have my Zeevo flying insect trap.

1:14:38You plug it in and you let it do all the work. It's specially designed blue and UV light attracts the bugs you didn't know you had. And wow, did we have a lot. Like house flies, fruit flies, gnats. And then with Zeevo, bam. Next thing you know, the pests are caught in the sticky cartridge and away from your yummy treats without any mess or strong odors. The best part is the design is actually sleek and curved. so it hides the bugs it catches, keeping them out of sight, and when the cartridge is full, you just grab the no-mess tab, throw it in the trash, pop in a new cartridge, and then you're done.

1:15:12No mess, no stress. So whether you're hosting a dinner party or spending an afternoon baking treats with all your friends, and you want to focus on hosting and not constantly swatting at bugs, Zivo has you covered with 24-7 bug protection. Plug in a Zivo flying insect trap so you can work smarter, not harder, and actually enjoy your time at home.

1:15:32Ben Mandelker: Hello, hello. This is Brooke DeVard, host of the Naked Beauty Podcast. I want to take a minute to tell you about K18 because it completely shifted the way I think about hair care. We're so used to thinking about longevity when it comes to our skin. We wear SPF, we use retinol, I take collagen. But I hadn't really thought about taking that same proactive approach with my hair and scalp. That's what makes K18's new Future IQ Biomimetic Hair Longevity Serum so interesting. Instead of simply covering up changes after they happen, it's designed to support the long-term health of your hair by targeting the biology beneath the surface.

1:16:09Ben Mandelker: I am someone, I've noticed gray hairs popping up. I've also noticed that my hair has not been as thick as it used to be, and that's why I want to address it at the scalp level. Future IQ is clinically proven to deliver up to 19 ,000 more hairs, fewer visible grays, and an improved scalp barrier. They have done clinical trials to prove this. It's powered by K18's proprietary multivital technology, the first synergistic multi-pathway system designed to address premature hair aging. As someone who is in protective styles, but is always thinking about the health of my hair, I love anything that supports a healthy scalp because that's really where healthy hair begins.

1:16:51Ben Mandelker: You can find Future IQ at Sephora or get 10 % off your first purchase at k18hair.com with code Brooke. Thanks again to K18 for supporting Naked Beauty.
