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. This episode is sponsored by Butterball Turkey. Butterball. Care hard, cook easy.

1:21Ben Mandelker: I was watching The Real Housewives of Orange County the other night, And I was thinking so much of this drama could have been solved with turkey. I think that about so many things. Exactly. Just get everyone around the table with a delicious meal, a turkey meal. That's how you bring people back together. What if it wasn't Thanksgiving? Being the Grand Dame isn't a one-day-a-year affair. Every day is a chance to get down with turkey burgers, ground turkey, and more. Eating turkey is like watching Bravo. You can do it anytime. And the more you do it, the happier you are. Yeah, Butterball Turkey is made for everyday moments that bring people together with ease, and it tastes great while doing it.

Everything is fried and greased and carved. But nice try. I mean, I figured that's what a person like Janet would do. Show up to someone like Lala's house with carbs. Yeah. Lala's like, I don't eat at Portos.

6:19Ben Mandelker: I eat at Porjo's. Get what I said there. It's my post-divorce journeys.

7:26Ben Mandelker: you know what that baby looks like you know what that baby looks like a little bridge sushi bridge little bridge chicken feed you ever put a chicken feed on a bridge that looks like a baby do you forget what they look like when they're little babies little babies I want to have another baby you know I always said it one and done but I know that something that Aaron really wants is to have several a hive if you will so I said maybe but just looking at somebody else have a baby it's very sweet and it gives me a feeling look here I am Michelle Lally having an emotion look at me I am emoting right now um yeah Michelle we all know what Aaron wants and it is a bag of coke okay i don't michelle's like look at me it is my era of better decisions you're considering have a baby uh with a man who has an entire honey line based off of cocaine terminology and named his dog kilo okay oh rethink now does that mean parents can't do coke of course not if there are parents out there doing coke you guys you go for it but listen this is your second go-round aim higher michelle for fuck's sake aim higher than someone who looks like they just stumbled into a road and was about to get run over.

8:53Ben Mandelker: We've all seen that movie. We've all seen the movie, the guy running away from someone and then they step into the road and they're like, and then they get run over. That's his face. His face is like he has headlights in his face. Not even a deer in the headlights. It's just a hooked up. So they're catching up and Brittany's like, well, it's just been disaster after disaster. Yeah, Jason sent me off. You guys will be real proud of me. I told him off. I'll let him have it. Brittany, you've been letting him have it for years. You'll be back together within a year. yeah well i was like do you think she will i hope she doesn't i hope that i'm not gonna i don't know i'm gonna hope that i'm gonna take that back and hope better for britney i'm gonna give it two years so britney is like well i was going i was like i'm going to expect you to start paying for half a cruise dollar with doctor bills and then stuff like that and then he freaked out at me and was like well i'm gonna go after alimony and i was like i don't even know who ali is and why do i know ali larder she's cool she's not an actress but ali moni don't know her anyway i'll win you because i'm gonna make you because you make more money than me that's what he said and blah blah blah blah blah wow i really had him really rang him a new one well yeah you'd like make more money because a cocaine addiction is expensive so i suggest you give that up cocaine right everybody michelle's like i can give you a family discount ever since i had cruise i've always been able to protect and make sure there There was nothing around.

10:15Ben Mandelker: So now that our Satan's getting older, like you shouldn't be doing this after you have a child whatsoever. I'm like, well, maybe you shouldn't also be on this show, but that's another issue. So, yeah, I mean, just get away from Jax. Just block Jax and stop taking Jax's calls because at this point, it's just that man is dangerous. Oh my God. Speak only to a mediator. Yes. And especially the one that you found because I love that lawyer. What was her name? Like Naz? Naz? Is that her name? I love her. What? Tell me. You need to go. You need to go right now. So Brittany's like, yeah, I ain't letting Cruz go over there anytime soon.

10:51He's a bachelor band.

10:54Ben Mandelker: I feel like there's nasty girls there. And until the divorce is fine lines, we have, like, drug testing rules in place. I don't feel comfortable with Cruz going over there. And Lala's like, and he's okay with that. And she's like, yeah, I mean, he doesn't really have a choice. So they're all like, yeah, we got him by the balls and stuff. So now they talk about the Hawaii trip. And Janet's like, well, I mean, Hawaii, that was rough. And Brittany's like, yeah, well, I had a fun time, but they don't like you, Janet. I can't hurt her.

11:26Ben Mandelker: And Janet's like, Kristen and Luke's. And so Janet's like, she called me a whore. Wow, Janet. So that seems like a little bit of a false equivalency based on. I'm sorry. I interrupted you. I'm assuming it's during one of Mariposa's, you know, mid-cruise, you know, flip out. It's like, I will not let you go after Nia and Danny, the most wonderful people on planet Earth. You are not allowed to. But I don't remember calling her a whore. I'm sure. I don't remember either, but I also like that. I would not be surprised if it like never made it to air or if it did make it to air and it did not. I did not keep it in my brain.

12:07I wouldn't be surprised either, but I also wouldn't be surprised if Janet's just making that shit up.

12:11Ben Mandelker: because it's janet well her note taker also did not remember and uh shelby wrote that she said she went back and looked it up in previous notes and that was not in the show if it happened so gotta remember looks like janet might be fabricating because we will take shelby's word over janet's any day yeah so janet's like she threatened to beat me up and my baby she threatened to murder a baby a baby she called my baby a whore and threatened to beat it up And she called me a fan. And Lala's like, well, I mean, you know, broken clocks, etc. And Michelle's like, I was like, hold on, everybody. I was like, calm down.

12:48Ben Mandelker: I also remember that happening. Michelle Lali, the great mediator. Everyone, calm down. I think maybe you were telling that to your boyfriend whose eyes were bugging out. And I was like, oh, hey, Kristen, I would love for you to hit me. I would love nothing more than for jail to take away your engagement ring for them. By the way, you can't take away mine because it's sewn on. I sewed it on. I have Jason's ring nailed to his fucking bones. If he ever takes that off, he's going to lose his finger. I machine gun Kelly that shit onto his. Anyway, I was like, I would love for you to look at your ring and only think of me in prison.

13:31the prison you go to when you call people a whore by the way lala do you mind signing my ring

13:39Ben Mandelker: real quick thanks um so uh lala's like yeah y 'all's group is messy i'm like you're the one who's trying to get on the show lala so michelle's like yeah feels very crazy to me like every day i tried janet here's janet's big moment i tried i really did this summer i included her, Kristen. And what did it get me? Where did it get me? Rumors about my husband. My husband. And I hope every time she looks at that ring, she sees a reflection of me. I'm like, okay, this is like, you're trying to do some sort of Alanis Morissette moment, and every time you scratch your nails on someone else's back, I hope you feel my Dave and Buster's tickets.

14:20Ben Mandelker: I hope you do. I invited her to Dave and Buster's! Dave and Buster's in Carson City and she could treat me like this? That's the best location of the Dave and Buster's? You had to drive two hours in the sun. How could she threaten to murder my whore baby?

14:47Ben Mandelker: I want you to know that I'm happy for you. I want nothing more than you to go to jail for one night and have your ring taken away from you for once. day. I am screenshotting this because I don't want to show the date or whatever because I don't want people to show up. A friend of ours is going to Janet's birthday party this year. She's friends with Janet. I don't want to mess this up. Hold on. Let me let me let me change orientation of this so I can show it on the street. I don't know why I find this so fucking funny. I just do. It's just so Janet, this birthday invitation. OK, I took out the date, everybody.

15:20Sorry for the wait. But this is Janet. Come celebrate Janet's birthday the literal only way she knows how Dave and Busters everybody that's my thing I'm a wacky person I go to Dave and Busters and it says cocktail attire encouraged because Dave and Busters can be fancy too

15:40Ben Mandelker: okay Dave and Busters money get ready get ready for that Dave and Busters time at Janet all the threes of you just batten down the hatches to get to that crash Janet's party I know I wonder how many people we're gonna get begging for the date just yeah for the date and if you bring your gay friend you can get jason getting extra aggro to him so um so then it is about a dave and busters though she did she is moving up in the dave and busters world um so remember beyonce did a dave and buster's birthday party don't forget so i mean i hate to drag beyonce into this but as long as you did it first what'd you say who did it first Beyonce well there you go so now we go to Jax's condo and Luke and Jason are there and I love these shots of Jax's condo a lot of reasons because first it's four stories okay they have to go to the fourth story to go outside and they're all huffing and puffing and Jax's like look at it I can't believe Jax can even do it with his limited nasal strength but god bless him he makes it to the top and then the other reason I love it is because the first thing the editors do is show a plane flying overhead which yes the james kennedy treatment man i just thought that was so sweet it's like that southwest plane like it's just like when that shows up that is like a david lynch detail that's like this is the sign of bob coming to possess like someone you know like like this is like the this is the sign of uh there's danger in this home there's an abuser in this home beware because uh yeah we see that plane and but but also like seriously it really is just a post-production's way of saying like yeah this guy thinks he has it made but he lives under an airport he lives under a flight pattern right now and he will never be happy he will never find the peace that he's looking for i think your first take was good the i think production's like abuser an abuser lives here because everyone else lives in the valley and they don't get that and trust me we all have the planes in the valley we all have We had a party over here for Watch What Crappens after our tour.

17:47And a bunch of Bravo commentators and stuff were here. And when a plane would fly overhead, everyone would be like, oh, my God, it's like James Kennedy's house. Like a Bravo thing at this point.

17:59Ben Mandelker: But it also is just like that's them trolling because it's them saying, look at this cheap-ass place that they live in. Because, yes, you're right. Everyone in the Valley lives essentially under the Burbank Airport flight path. but to highlight that there's a plane over your place that means the suggestion is yeah you think you're living at large but we all know you live close to that airport because that's what you could afford you know and and like whether or not that's true that's what they've decided the narrative that they're going to push on this show and i think it's wonderful good job post yeah he's like look everybody like my place is uh you know it's decorated you know it's finally decorated so you're gonna have people over it's like a used condom over a lamp like nice job the chip and joannas do this like damn what just what task rabbit maybe i should call it a tsk rabbit but task rabbit came in and decorated this place just like random like sports memorabilia on the wall and like the the room cruises room with like the the kids stuff i was like jacks 100 to not do any of this stuff i want to know who was commissioned to do this there's still wood art on the wall like word art it's just a big plank of wood that says come dumb as you are yeah so jacks is like yeah you know i don't want to call it a bachelor pad but yeah i mean i guess it's a bachelor pad so yeah it's a bachelor pad so he's showing everyone cruises room and he's like yeah i gave him the big room no you didn't that's not the big room that's a tiny little room don't tell me that you gave me jesus yeah jacks can jacks just be done now i mean he is done right well he will be but and you have to sit through three more weeks of this so then um yeah he's like yeah that's i just my main thing is like how good can this be for cruise like what is the the best environment for my little boy how many flights of stairs can you fall down while i'm up on the roof drinking beers i was thinking about this cruise which is why i got a four-story house i just want to know like what is the best place for my son and i thought you know what many staircases no yard perfect yeah and he's like i even got a beautiful uh rooftop it overlooks the city it overlooks apartments and it over it's next to schwartz's place you know so you haven't got my best friend actually close to me to help doing great we don't need to see this show's version of wilson in the form of schwartz who can't even do the wilson right because we see his full face like we like that is not a value add to be like oh yeah and i have i share a fence with with tom schwartz yeah that's like literally that's like the part on house hunters where they put an x like this is the downside like well it's close to work easy commute close to center town but i do share a fence with tom schwartz like i think we have to cross that house off the list you know i just i want to be close to town but i also really need to have a fence where there's someone that can just say this occasionally women am i right well even though the house is 35 minutes from work and uh does not have electricity is not furnished and is 250 000 over budget i really like that it's not attached to schwartz so we're gonna go for that one so he's uh telling everybody yeah you know like uh i'm at my house the other day birdie's yelling and screaming at me you know and uh she's like literally texting me every day since.

21:24Like, talking to me about the house, talking to me about, like, what flowers she's putting in, you know, like, one day you're hot, next day you're cold. Like, what do you want me to do? Like, you don't want me to be around? Fine, stop texting me every fucking day. Okay, then, like, pay her what you owe her and, like, do what you're supposed to do so she doesn't have to text you and say, hey, Jax, I found a kilo buried under some flowers, and since it's yours, you better get away from my baby. You better get away from my chicken wing. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappin's commercial.

21:56I have a giant deck outside and needed to furnish it and was worried about getting things that matched and getting things from different stores and making it all work together.

And so Jason's like, um, so would you say that she's breadcrumbing you? Yeah, I've been reading BuzzFeed. I know what breadcrumbing is. You think she's breadcrumbing you? And he's like, that's exactly what it is. She's breadcrumbing me. I'm like, she's literally not breadcrumbing you. like bread crumbing is i think a dating term right isn't that like when you are like you're leading someone on that they're like this is just this is just britney being messy jacks is the bread crumber but jacks has the loaf he has the loaf of the the shitty stale sourdough that he's scattering across the valley for everyone and then he's throwing it up himself he can't even do hansel and gretel correctly yeah he can't be bread crumb because he just snort them up you know his his body has probably learned to metabolize that shit um so and also jason shut the fuck up jason over here like turning it around trying to stand up for this abusive piece of shit she breadcrumbing you yeah everybody wants jason back everybody needs jack's couchy back jason i just here's the thing that really bothers me with jason and this is where like this is one of our listeners brought this up on crappy hour and i really have not been able to get it out of my mind which is that um jason and janet are very righteous about danny technically performing sexual assault uh and yet they they seem to not be so technical about jacks and and well yeah that's what we've been saying for the whole year i mean what the hell he's like their morals are like oh my god we're so outraged at the butt grab but you're fine with your abusive piece of shit friend and now it's now making it turning it around and making it sound like britney britney's fucking with him loser loser behavior jason yeah um so uh yeah jacks is saying that he's like baby proofing because he's gonna make he wants britney to feel comfortable to have crews in this uh mc escher townhouse and so uh you know jesse's like uh maybe well luke has proposed that jacks install a universal camera that they can all watch the baby with not a ring please do not get a name brand camera i don't want her to be offended this needs to be universal okay just get some knockoff amazon shit no i think it literally is like let's hit up the people our partners at nbc universal and see if they've got a camera um so then jesse's like also baby gates jesse's like i'm just gonna put this one out here maybe she'll feel more comfortable if you put some baby gates in front of one of your many staircases that your child can fall down he's like yeah yeah baby gaze and looks like well it's just a test like i think she's more concerned about your lifestyle you know like you have to prove to her you're not partying you're not like doing extracurricular with random girls up here it's like i would never come up with you or with a girl like what what what what what with him like and i expect the same from her like what me girls him in the same room jacks you know like goes to the fucking playground with the baby just to hit on moms yeah he's that one he is that one uh so luke's like by the way uh so it seems like you've got some sort of problem with danny like what's your problem just between you like what's what's going on like where'd this come from and jack's like yeah well i missed half the season so i need to pick a fight with someone so i've decided danny's the easy easy target you know i mean in my opinion i'm allowed to have my opinion i mean nia called me no joke not an exaggeration literally I don't even know what you're going to say.

27:37Ben Mandelker: I already know it's an exaggeration. She's called me at least five times, screaming and yelling, throwing things. She lit her house on fire. She was so mad. No exaggeration. Saying, you know, because, oh, your husband is drunk and can't even walk out of the bar because I've called her and told her that. And so she comes in and is like, Danny, I told you not to act like this. This is how we know that Jax is lying because Nia would never say, Danny, I told you not to act like this. She would say, Daniel, don't do that. Daniel, shh. Daniel, protect your peas. Daniel, where's your peas? Hey, bartender, can I please have an order of Daniel's peas?

28:11Daniel, shoot this. Shoot it, Daniel. So, yeah, he's going, he's ranting and raving. And he's like, I can't have him over here because I have alcohol. He can't be around alcohol. He's an alcoholic. My partners had to drag him out. They had to drag him out of the bar. He's just so, so drunk, you know. And he's like, yeah, you know, like he's fucking, he's feeling girls up in my bar. I mean, at my bar, feeling girls up.

28:36Ben Mandelker: Isn't that why the bar is there? Isn't the bar there for you and your friends to feel up girls? It's like the poorest version of Epstein's plane, that bar. It's just like a place for Jax to feel up. Jax and his old weird partner friends, who are now going to follow him around, I guess, for every scene, to feel up like young new girls, like starstruck in L.A. you know uh i mean i do believe that that danny was kicked out of that bar but i don't think jack needs to be the messenger of this i think jacks is just in no place to suddenly take a moral high ground about this at all so uh jason's like i mean i think that like part of what jack what's getting jacks worked up about danny is the fact that um jacks has made mistakes and when he makes mistakes those mistakes are discussed amongst the entire group and like meanwhile danny makes mistakes and if anyone calls them out it gets they get attacked um especially you know call them out for sexual assault so it's understandable though why he'd be frustrated oh yeah jason nobody's called danny out you guys have made sure that danny is called out in every single episode and now look he's using janet coded language he's like you get attacked you get attacked if you even call one person out yeah i mean look danny is no angel and i do think that he has gotten a very friendly edit because despite everything everyone's really still on his side but like I think I still think there's like plenty more bottom to follow.

30:06I don't think he's gotten an edit that's shown him showing up and apologizing which is something that we don't really see from Jax ever and he does apologize multiple times they've dragged him across the cold for this multiple times he's apologized multiple times

30:21Ben Mandelker: no he's gotten a friendly edit I think he's gotten a friendly edit in this sense yes he's apologize but they could have really edited this season to be like we're all concerned about danny what's going on with danny they could have really made him look like he had a big big big big big problem and they they did not focus on that and that's okay i mean maybe that also wasn't there to focus on but like um i think that i think danny i mean danny clearly has stuff going on like he got thrown at the bar even if it was jacks he got thrown in the bar he groped up his cast members like he's sneaking drinks in on camera like he made comments about like these girls like how we just for blonde because i mean it's like all right there but there are such worse things he did that no one heard him do that well but either way i still could have it could have been a whole big thing edit they're they're fucking full of shit with danny this whole thing they did do the whole thing that you're talking about where they're like danny has a problem you guys would if Danny has they've been doing it the whole season it's been all edited in there the only difference is Danny has handled it well and he's apologized and went to fucking therapy over it I mean for Christ's sake that's something you don't see from Jax I mean he'd handled it better than Jax for sure but like I I still think it was it was it was I'm not saying it was covered up and I'm not saying it was minimized I'm just saying I think the focus of the show is on they've got bigger fish to fry and i think that danny like it's like other reality shows like this would have been really really front and center like danny's stuff would have been really front and center and it hasn't been so that's where i think it's been friendly and that literally been the only plot line this whole season so i mean i think it's been front and center i think the difference is you've got a coke head who's abusive and threw a table at his wife to give her a black fucking leg and had to be dragged off by production to some mental facility who's still going off and attacking people and trying to get control to the camera and sending abusive texts, rage texts, and stalking this woman on national TV.

32:18And Jason's sitting here supporting that, but they're all fine with making Danny sound like this fall down alcoholic who needs to be locked away. It's just so fucking hypocritical and gross. I mean, it's not that Danny, Danny, of course, Danny was disgusting for what he did, getting wasted and filling up his friends. Like, that's horrible. But the guy apologizing with therapy, I just don't see, I just don't, I can't even I'm just saying I think that there's more is disgusting because they're not even I know I'm just they're not even bringing up Jax like Jax is fine they're like get a camera on some baby gates it'll be fine but Danny they're like cart him away burn him at the stake break his legs off

32:54Ben Mandelker: I'm and I just want to clarify I'm not saying that Jax is like right on this I'm just saying that like Danny I definitely I think that Danny on another season where you didn't have someone as monstrous as Jax. I think Bravo sure as hell would have had, like Danny would have been, it would have been even more centered. He would have been first seed at that reunion, I'm telling you. I think we have monsters like Jax, and Jax knows he's the monster, which is why he's trying to push the attention onto Danny, by the way. So I'm not condoning anything Jax is saying. I'm just saying that I think Danny's pretty lucky, to be honest, because I think that there are bigger boogeymen on this show, deservedly so, and while Jax may be trying to put it all back onto Danny, but it's like, no, Jax, you are really the problem here.

33:42Yeah, but no one says that.

33:44Ben Mandelker: No, no one does. Well, they say it in their confessional. They'll joke about it in their confessionals. But that's what puts it into a hard place to even talk about it because it's like, oh, standing up for Danny. It's not standing up for what Danny did. That's crazy. I would never do that. It's just this show makes you so fucking crazy because it lets Jax come in and gaslight everybody and the audience and then the cast just stands around and says nothing nobody says anything except maybe step away jacks you know kristen steps in and makes him step away at least but jeez but i also would have liked honestly jumping forward to that moment i would have liked kristen to have come with come at jacks the way she came at janet i felt like that like she like she was when when janet was hurling accusations in hawaii kristen was like fiery she was like absolutely not but when Jax did it she was like okay step away she was almost like considerate like you've had too much you're being too angry right now and I am like Kristen you should lay into Jax the same way too you know well you like Jax deserves that differently than you treat you know well she shouldn't be friends you know people that you hate and that are like trying to like come after you for two years in a row yeah well I don't think I think that speaks to another flaw which is that like she should also she should be divorcing Jax the way she divorced to janet too if you ask me personally yeah well yeah so anyway so uh there are just luke jacks is on this ridiculous terror about about danny and everything and luke is uh saying that danny hasn't had a drink in three weeks and didn't drink at all in hawaii and schwarz is like well yeah because jack's like well i don't believe that and schwarz is like well you know what he's putting in the work you know do you understand that concept jacks is like i don't understand what that means to put in the work i only understand symbolic gestures yeah yeah uh and jack's like yeah you believe that you believe that and he's like absolutely and they're like why wouldn't you believe it jacks and he's like i'm allowed to have my opinion i'm allowed to have my opinion i mean what the fuck i'm not allowed to have my opinion so you know um we had we see a flashback to luke and danny at lunch because luke says that you know danny knows that the the guys also had some beers in jack's back or someone's backyard um a few days ago and you know danny wasn't invited um and so uh we see a flashback to luke talking with danny and he's like hey i noticed you didn't drink in hawaii he's like yeah i haven't had i haven't drank in a few weeks i mean it's been uh four weeks under four four sobriety moments i haven't really worked that one out yet but i'm still working on that phrase just work i'm using this downtime to really come up with a good good zinger there so they're like why aren't you including him And he's like, okay, okay, okay.

36:27Because we see another guy's dinner where Danny wasn't included. And they were like, hey, where's Danny? And Jack's like, probably drinking somewhere. Probably drinking somewhere. And so Jack's is like, yeah, you know what? Like, we all fuck up. But, you know, like, you got to take accountability like me. You know? Like, don't preach on to others like when you're doing it. Okay? Like, he's preaching to me about, like, he's just as bad as me. No. No one, his wife has not shown up anywhere with bruises.

36:56Ben Mandelker: Jax has literally taken no accountability. That's been sincere. He has, Jax is the master of figuring out what is the right thing to say, but we've seen his actions do not take any accountability. The rage texting negates any sort of progress he claims he made. Like that was his, that was his biggest mistake to all this. You know, he's usually pretty slick about being able to like win people back. But like, well, Brittany exposed him because she's protected him for a long time. But the fact that he was raised to us through all of his quote-unquote therapy in this whatever rehab it was at the Denny's, I'm sorry.

37:28Ben Mandelker: Like, you have not had any healing. And everything you've said since then has still been about, like, but what about me? Why is it so bad for me? Because I do think that, like, there's actually a shred of truth to what Jason said, which is that Jax, you know, all his shit gets discussed. Every time he does something wrong, it gets discussed and torn apart by everyone, whereas Danny doesn't. But there's a reason for that. and the reason is that like Jax has been doing this for so long this is basically Danny's first time at the rodeo Jax has been wronging people for a decade over a decade on this show alone as opposed to everything that's beyond that and Jax proof that he's not taking accountability is the fact that he can't just sit and allow people to tear apart the shit that he did he has to then deflect onto someone like Danny instead so it just shows he's not healed at all I mean I don't know why I'm trying to litigate this point when it's like literally the most obvious point in all of the like all of all of like humanity right now is that jackson's not taking it's accountability yeah so um then we go to jesse's and um he's wearing his hat that says lolly estates i love all the hats on this show for businesses that are like soon to be defunct yeah so uh jesse puts his dog malibu in isabella's bed and uh he's like god dog might as well sleep in isabella's bed since Isabella's never here anymore.

38:46Now, Jesse, this was only a two-year reality star, and you've got to hand it to Jesse. He knows how to play this game. I mean, he shows up in the last episode. He's like, you know what? Who called their wife a whore? Who told everybody multiple times that his wife was a high-priced hooker? Not this guy. This guy's crying, guys. This guy's crying. Let's stand by for Jesse Tears.

39:08Ben Mandelker: Yeah, I mean, those narcissists, they really know how to do it. I mean, I wish Alexia were here to really say something to him because. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not a narcissist because I'm an empath. So we need to get her self-help expert out there to be like, the number one thing a narcissist does is talk about himself. There'll be$5 ,000 for that little nugget of information. Someone just sent me a clip of this guy, the guy from the narcissist party on Real Housewives of Miami, for those of you who don't watch this big party for narcissists and uh he was like the group leader of this party and he's like all right everybody let's talk narcissism so someone sent me a clip of him hiking and he goes look here everybody look here what i found it's a little mail slot with the journal in it and inside of the journal you've got many people writing things so many languages here you've got english spanish chinese arabic so many things now of course that this shows that we're all from the same place.

40:11At the end of the day, we fight about politics, but we're all people who just write in little books that we find while we're hiking. Now, I can't read the Chinese and the Arabic, but I'm guessing it's all very nice things. We're good people at heart. I was like, shut the fuck up, bro. Like, the only reason I'm watching this is because you don't have your shirt on right now. Please never put your shirt on. And when you've got it off, don't talk, okay? Speak with your chest.

40:36Ben Mandelker: Well, the hilarious part about that guy's Instagram is that it's all just close-up images of his face and then like an occasional shirtless photo and some quotes that he came up with himself. And he is trying to preach against narcissism when his Instagram is purely for self-promotion and like only showing him and showing no other parts of his life except his face. I'm like, okay, sir, thanks for really like proving your point there. The anti-narcissist who built an Instagram on his chest. I'm like, this world, I can't. Here comes one right now. This episode is sponsored by Butterball Turkey. Butterball.

43:23So, Jesse's talking about how, you know, there was so much resolution in Hawaii, guys. Listen, you know, he talked to Michelle and he said, Michelle, look at me. Aaron told me last night that he said he was in love with you. And I said, I'm happy for you. So I'm a good person now. I'm basically a good person now. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Yeah.

43:45Ben Mandelker: Come on over, Michelle. So Michelle comes over and is like, how are you doing? I am okay. Okay. Well, how do you feel about our trip together? She goes, well, I feel all right. I'm glad that you finally had the conversation with Aaron that you've been stressing about. Yeah, I really wanted to know how he's able to have that hairstyle without a big dent in the back. And he told me it's a product. I didn't know about this, but you can put stuff in your hair to get rid of dents and little recesses. So that was good to know about. I feel like my life has changed. Okay, well, now I can see a point one day where we can all hang out together.

44:24there yeah and he's like yeah just jizzle off a little bit of resentment and i'll jizzle off a little bit of irrationality and then we can build on that foundation because i'm a good person now jesse lally good person thank you well because he does this whole monologue where he's like michelle i just want you to know that uh my uh my bro coach wrote me a little script and here's how

44:50Ben Mandelker: because this divorce is not your fault. It's both of our faults and mainly mine. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. Stop doing good will hunting to me again. How do you like these apples? Okay, I know what you're getting at here. How do you enjoy them apples, Jazzy? Geez. He's like, we were both trying to one up each other and I think whatever power I have, whatever power I have left, I, I'm crying. I give it to you. I give you my power to do with whatever you'd like. Say whatever you want. Because I'm just so tired of this, Michelle. I'm so tired of this. Calling you a whore and you getting mad.

45:38Ben Mandelker: I don't care who's wrong or right. I don't want to fight no more. It's time for letting go. Okay, stop Tina Turner-ing me. we don't need another hero michelle we don't need to know the way home all we want is one another the thunderdome okay you are going backwards jesse i'm your private dancer dancer for money i'll be who you want me to be please don't stop doing that please no in that case now that you are a good person i would like to invite you to my zen party at yamajiro restaurant the tourist drop of the hills yeah he's like well a zen party that sounds interesting yes uh zen party and then we see like kaleidoscoping stuff which is funny because that has nothing to do with zen i don't think but whatever um and she says he's really funny because he's like a zen party what's that uh weren't you the one who just tried to fix all of your problems by going to an ayahuasca retreat in the desert for three weeks you should be a little bit more familiar with these tropes jess we were the one who watched your life coach put his hand on everyone's chest and like what was that like release and catch catch and release i don't know what they're that they like you are only people who understand men are men bro yeah part of the manosphere okay joe rogan is a king so um michelle is like um she's just saying that she just wants a zen party just some zen energy, right?

47:13Ben Mandelker: Yeah, it's been a rough year for her. And he's like, well, should I wear my ayahuasca beanie? And she's like, I threw it away because he lost it at the Chateau and it didn't turn up at the Lost Ground. And that they didn't cut to a picture of Rob Reiner wearing that ayahuasca beanie. I mean, what a waste. What a waste in the editor's room. The fact that this man wore that beanie to Chateau Mormont and had no shame about it, that was not lost. It was confiscated. I'm going to say that right now. someone there sat there was like listen we host a lot of douchebags at this place but even this is taking it too far okay we had quentin tarantino sucking on a hostess's toe last week while eating captain crunch out of the bag okay but this is too far yeah too far so um we go over to britney's house and she's putting out new doors i got a new door back okay it says the cart rides I knew whenever I moved back into this house, I had to take Jackson Lee out of it.

48:08Ben Mandelker: And I had to make it my own because this is my house now. So you know what? He's getting taken off the mortgage. He's getting taken off the deed. He's getting taken off of everything except for, I don't know. I'm going to keep this photo up. I'm going to keep this wall up. I'm going to do all this. But whatever. If I want a guy to come over, they don't need to see Jackson Lee everywhere in my house. Okay. I'm, you know, look, Brittany, it's so hard for me to believe that Brittany is not a moron. But did she just really take over this mortgage that has one point two million dollars of Jax Taylor debt on it?

48:41How stupid are you? What? Why would you do that? That sounds idiotic. Is there something I'm missing where he paid off like the one point two million dollars that added to that house? Because it sounds like she just took on all of his debt. So I'm not sure how judgy I should be over that because I don't know all the facts. But from where I'm sitting, this isn't the brightest move. OK, what are you doing?

49:03Ben Mandelker: yeah i wish i i remember when she walked in she put down that that mat and then she walked in and in her foyer she had some sort of generic wall art up and i was going to write it down and i forgot and i wish i had because it was it was so britney it said something like foyer it was like foyer welcome to the foyer where the foyers happened i was like why did you buy this piece of wall art why um so kristen comes and they talk about kristen going to her appointment about birthing you know about having a baby and basically they took luke's sperm and luke you know which i feel like it's like this with a lot of normal guys from normal places without crap in their water i mean i don't know but his sperm he's got like 97 trillion sperm that are all like yeah they've all got little beards they're like yeah we know how to fix engines but Kristen when she got her results back she just got all these prescriptions for shit and everything came with fertility warnings like you know this doesn't cover infertility your insurance doesn't cover infertility and so she's struggling with seeing the word infertile because she's being technically considered infertile because she hasn't been able to conceive in over a year but she's not they haven't told her she's infertile but she's technically considered that And so she's dealing with the terminology of it.

50:21And she's worried that she's not going to have a baby. I'm worried that I'm going to sneeze on camera, which I just did. But hopefully, I mean, thankfully it worked out better for Kristen than me. And it's just sad. You know, she's freaking out about the baby. Thankfully, we know now that she had one. So it all worked out. But yeah.

50:39Ben Mandelker: Yeah. Which is what actually makes these scenes, which should be kind of actually very sad, are, in fact, they're really like nice scenes because we know that there's a happy ending, but you do feel for her. And it's a, it's a very real journey that she's on. I'm obviously, I'm not saying like, oh, that there's any question that this is fake. I'm just saying that like, I feel like that's probably very relatable to a lot of people. And I really, I really appreciate her emotional honesty in these scenes, but it all works out. So that's great. So then we go over to a restaurant called Norma, which is a place where you can go to pretend like you're going to staff yachts um but eat food in the process and benji and zach are on a date and i'm so mad at this restaurant because they're like we're gonna seat you in the lounge and they seat them like in my nightmare thing like chairs with like a low like cat not even like shin high coffee table no one wants to eat their whole meal off the table like that this place should rotten hell rotting hell norma you're not the first person to see that um so yeah and zach's like oh my god they gave us menus even though we already know what we want because we look online hilarious that is hilarious did you guys get that in play that don't make me say it again later i love that i was like i love that these two like went to the menu beforehand and already chose their food they're like we are not gonna be slow on camera okay it's very rare that i get my own scene so we're not gonna waste it with ordering okay i love their waiter too he's like hi do you guys want to order something he's like yeah we're gonna have a porn star that sounds delicious and then benji's gonna have the dirty dancing and he's like oh my god you guys are meant to be together did you guys get that that on camera you need another chance it's probably one of their friends let's be honest so um zach is like so now it's been like three weeks since you moved in with me how are you feeling and benji's like well aside from the fact that the bottoms of my feet are permanently black because of all the shit you leave on the floor um i'm having a great time just i just don't look at my feet anymore just get used to it it's just i guess part of it's like it's so nice to officially be here in your dirty house missing my husband locally instead of missing him internationally.

53:03So that's been really good. Zach's like, well, it's just the beginning. Like, we're going to go through next hurdles. You know, like the thing that happens on my birthday. Wedding ring. Wedding ring. Oh, my God. It's so great. The Canadian court just deleted your divorce. They just deleted it. And he's like, yeah. And she's all bummed. And he's like, oh, my God. That's a great birthday present for me. It's happening on my birthday. Your divorce is being deleted on my birthday. It's amazing. We can get married now. And she's like, yeah. yeah really this is really sad benji says you know because with my ex he was the one who wanted the divorce i didn't want it i was really in love with him then after a year and a half past you were still there so i don't know here we are porn star martinis am i right yeah this is great wow

53:54Ben Mandelker: well i you've been a really great rebound zach oh my god i feel like that was i think what you meant to say is we're gonna be a forever couple but um sure yeah out with the old and with the new am i right so um he's like babe i have a surprise for you i got scrotox it's like oh i got for i got excited for a moment because i thought you said you got clorox for your floors but you didn't. No, okay, well, sure. Okay, scrotox, great. No, that's Botox for your scrotum. It's hilarious because it happened like six weeks ago and the audience has already been in love with the storyline. You're just finding out even though you have access to my scrotes.

54:36Ben Mandelker: It's like, oh, are you serious? Um, you haven't even said one thing. It really hurt my feelings. Did you notice no wrinkles down there? Felt like a baby's bottom, but it was my ball. Why would you do that? i got rid of three 11s on my nuts and you didn't even say anything bungee i got notification from canada that they were proud of me before you even noticed he's like aren't you so excited that my ball sack no longer looks like the monster energy drink logo i should look like my ex's net sack

55:08so now they start talking about janet and he's like oh my god like she walked away after our showdown i'm surprised she didn't jump off that boat to get away because that's like the only way and benji's like well she probably wanted to toss you off the boat

55:26Ben Mandelker: she's probably like jason jason toss him off oh wait that sounds sexual let's toss him off would you like to toss me off my scrotox balls just wondering and also it was like the most annoying thing that britney can't see what janet's doing ah yeah she just wants to like let's shit off and i'm sick of it i'm gonna stand up to britney now you know like britney john has treated me bad in the past and escalated things like me and never say like acting like i would say horrible horrible things cut to zach at the end being like you dumb bitch i hope you die in your fire you stupid whore slut zach is like basically what he's saying is i am so mad that britney didn't defend me when christian was yelling at janet it's like she didn't have to when when janet was saying those things about danny how come britney didn't stand up for me he's decided this is going to be his big fight in the season finale and he's going to shoehorn it in there no matter what it takes it's going to work somehow i had to sit at a low table and you didn't even defend me for the waiter yeah terrifying so um they decide he's going to confront her and zach's like yeah you've got some caviar on your lap i'm just waiting for you to say that i'm gallant and amazing so you can say that now and he's like you're amazing can i use your phone i really want to call my ex-husband and by the way the caviar is meant to stay on the lips that way when i taste your smooth balls it tastes a little bit better so um now um everyone is doing stuff around town everyone's doing things um michelle is uh she's getting really excited for the zian party hey erin look at my two-piece outfit for the zian party and then we go to jesse's house and he's like laying on the bed internally crying over is a bad ah and uh getting ready for the last hurrah this summer and then um but he does have isabella this time and he's like are you ready isabella are you ready for the last hurrah she's like last hurrah and he starts to cry so we go to danny and nia's and she's like i have to get ready daniel will you look after the kids while I do it?

57:31He's like, sure, I'll take care of all three of these kids while you get glammed up. Sure, that's not going to come up again today. Three under three. Three under three. So we go over to Brock and Janet. Janet's getting her makeup done with Sheena. And so Brock's like, would you like a drink, Janet? From my cock. We're getting over that cheating storyline, Brock.

1:05:35Ben Mandelker: Do I like complicated chicken? No. No. Chicken should be fun. Complicated chicken, not fun. Chicken should meet a higher standard, and Nature Ray's Farms is free from gluten, dairy, and soy. There are no seed oils and no artificial ingredients. Also, Nature Ray's Farms chicken is a good source of fiber and only between 8 to 12 grams of fat per serving dependent on the product. 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.

1:06:16Hey 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. The This is why I have to have my Zeevo 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 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.

1:06:56The 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. Plug in a Zivo flying insect trap so you can work smarter, not harder, and actually enjoy your time at home.
