0:21Hello and welcome to Watch What Crap Ends, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about i'm ben mandelker and joining me today on the first day of december it's ronnie carom hi ronnie how's it going well hello banoons how you doing buddy i'm feeling refreshed and wonderful after taking a very long thanksgiving weekend how are you doing good i'm back in texas so um it's good because look who is behind me on the couch it's bueller sleeping having his little nice piglet life back there. Look at the glorious beauty. Living the life. Well, I'm sorry that you're in Texas because that means that tomorrow I'm going on Jeff Lewis for the first time without Ronnie because Ronnie's in Texas.

1:06I know. So I know it's it's it's crazy. But Julia Cunningham looks like will be on with me and we love, love, love, love, Julia. So I'm looking forward to that. Go listen to Jeff Lewis tomorrow. Also, I was on Morally Corrupt with Ms. Rachel Lindsay last week. So go check that out. I forgot to plug it on the show. But that was a really fun episode. Yeah, she's a good chick. So go listen to that over on her podcast, Morally Corrupt. Okay. Yeah. And I don't know. We're doing Amazon Live today. And we also are doing Crappy Hour. So we have a whole bunch of stuff that's happening later this afternoon.

1:45That's going to be live, live, live, live, live. So come join us for all of those things. I think there was something else. Plus an insanely busy week. I mean, we've got Southern Charm is back. We've got Vanderpump Rules returning. We've got Real Housewives of Beverly Hills returning. We've got Married to Medicine returned. And we're going to check in with that one, do a couple of recaps of that bad boy. So, yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot happening in our world. It's like rest, have some, you know, carbs for the holidays and boom. Welcome back to 10 shows a week, baby. yeah it's gonna be it's gonna be a wild one um so anyway to that effect let's dive into it let's get into Potomac which was so good and so hilarious um where we last left off um Stacy was just handling Kierna uh Kierna was trying to take down Stacy and uh what I thought was so funny was that there was this line this very funny line that the last episode ended with which is karen is saying you know what like i would never trust you around my husband and stacy says you don't have one and it's hilarious and what i loved is that basically when i turned on bravo last night i heard it three times within within the span of 60 seconds because you turn it on and you hear the end of the replay from last week so you turn on the first thing you hear is i would never trust you around my husband you don't have one and then previously i would never trust you around my husband.

3:13You don't have one. And then this episode starts. I would never trust you around my husband. You don't have one. They just really drilled it in how much Kierna lost that fight. That was just cracking up. And you know, that line is spoken on every housewives show at some point, right? It's like, oh, she doesn't have a husband. Ooh, burn, you know? And it's usually so annoying. Like, who cares? Why do we all have to have a husband? You know, there's more to life than having a husband you know there's all that that usually goes on because it's been happening since the dawn of the show that's like one of the big disses it's like a dis trope on this a trope dis on this show but just the way stacy did it and just knowing how much kiana cares you know about it because she cares she really identifies she really needs that for her identity like it really bothers her that she's not and so that's why it burned so bad and it was good and it's also good just because it's fun seeing a QVC host pissed off.

4:08I mean, if there is one person trained in this world to not get pissed off, it's a QVC host. I mean, Buddha would yell before a QVC host. Yeah, it's really a very special thing to witness. And it was just, it's great. It's great work. So that's where we start up again. Oh, by the way, do you hear this? No. That's the sound of silence because guess what? america i finally got my chair fixed so no more creaky chair in the background of the podcast i'm sorry for everyone who had to deal with that but oh yes there will be fixed it because i didn't fix my texas one so i'll be squeaking plenty don't you worry everybody it'll be still be here we'll be squeaking at all times okay so we start up with kiana again saying again saying i would never trust you with my husband and stacy saying you don't have one karen goes and guess what you don't have one either bitch what about teemo what about teemo um which you know what that's got to be killing kiana because like in her mind she was probably watching last week's episode and being like but i said something back they made it seem like she ended me but i said something back yeah you said something back but it doesn't count babe i mean she had teemo which is more husbands than you've ever had and teemo she left teemo and then took him back so she's had a husband twice Nice.

5:29So that's, you know, it's even sadder. Kierna, just drop it, you know. And Kierna is also just still going too hard. It's every episode that Kierna is trying to start something with somebody and it just falls flat every time. And it's getting more and more fun because her face is getting crazier by the day, too. Have you noticed? Like, I think she's just pulling. She's just getting so stressed that she's like pulling her hair back tighter and tighter. And it's like moving her eyes back. and she's just getting a crazier face now too to go with all of the fail and it's just it's just delicious you know because it's so well earned i know it's like kiana and angel they're just like they they are just they're just like the worst right now and what's so frustrating is that they're bringing around the hottest guys ever to this show and it's like why can we can we get like someone who brings hot guys who's actually interesting to watch or what like why do we have to have these two be our ambassadors because it's like we know if we say okay get rid of kierna and angel we lose bobby and kieran his brother that's just not fair to us oh my god kieran his brother good lord i wasn't expecting that like happy thanks well we saw him last season we saw him last season in a polo shirt and he was hot then and then this time he was like oh i want to show america what i'm really working with i was like oh my goodness goodness gracious kieran his brother He doesn't even have a name.

6:51He's just Keanu's brother. Wow. Wow. Yeah, what a handsome feller. So, yeah, she's screaming, where's Timo? Where's Timo? And Stacey's like, here you go, acting a fool. She goes, oh, really? And that's a great defense mechanism. Well, what? And someone's like, well, someone here told Chris. Tia, who, you know, look, I like Tia on the show. She's a great addition, and I'm never going to not like her. but I'm not liking her jumping on the bandwagon. Tia's coming a little too hard for Stacey, and I don't like it, because especially later in the show where they all have the mean girls gang up, they're like, let's have a meeting just to talk shit about Stacey.

7:33And Tia's there, you know, lisping away with them. And I just don't, I don't like it. It's not a good look for you. I know, it makes me very upset that Tia is on the wrong side with this one. You know, Tia's just so wonderful, but that is the mean girl side. And it's the losing side. I would like to also add. So Stacey, so Tia's like, somebody here told Chris about what happened. And Stacey's like, well, I don't talk to Chris. Zell's like, yeah, this one, this one doesn't know girl Koda. She's not to be trusted around husbands or children or anybody else. Okay. Now we're putting her on Megan's list.

8:13I mean, seriously. She's like, she cannot go within 30 feet of a school or a church. Like, what are you making her out to be some child molester for now, Giselle? Jesus Christ, Giselle. And let's not forget Giselle was the one spreading that Chris was trying to, like, sexually assault her in some dressing room or something. And, oh, made her feel uncomfortable. Made her feel uncomfortable. Using language that would hint that he was, like, kind of assaulting with her. Giselle is going hard. Giselle's disgusting. Giselle. I love Giselle. Giselle can also be disgusting. They can be two things at the same time.

8:46Giselle's always been one of my favorites. Yeah. I love disgusting things. So wrong. Listen, I eat peanut M &Ms out of my belly button. Do you think, you know what? You think I'm going to kick you out of the car if you're disgusting? I'm not. Okay. I'm a human being. I pick my nose. I have poop. You know what? You know what? You're welcome at this table. But the thing is, the thing is that I think Giselle is going hard on Stacey right now because Stacey sort of has Giselle's number about the football player that Giselle went on a date with. She basically used Giselle's tactics against her in Nevis, and Giselle's not happy about that, so she's going to go extra hard.

9:22Because as we've discussed many times, and as I will always bring up, just in case someone is just brand new to our podcast, I don't see where Stacey violated girl code here whatsoever. She going on a date, whether or not she went on a date with Chris, it doesn't matter. None of that is a violation of girl code, because she only met Monique two episodes ago. So there's no violation there. If she has a preexisting relationship with Chris because they're already friends and then she sits at a table with Monique and Monique says, yeah, the reason why we got divorced is because he treated me like a piece of meat and you already know, you don't know this girl, but you have a friendship with the husband.

9:59It's not out of the realm of possibilities and it's definitely not a violation of girl code to even just to text your friend to be like, hey, just so you know, I just met, I'm at lunch with your ex and she's saying these things about you. I just don't think that's a violation. I do. I mean, I do think that that's a violation. I think that dating him is not, but I think that if she called him and told him filming information and said what Monique said, which Monique did say, like what we hear isn't exaggerated. Monique did say that, that he treats me like a piece of meat and stuff. By the way, it's not a crazy...

10:33I don't think these are salacious details. It's not like... I mean, Monique was sort of like... When she said, don't enter me, you can never enter me again. That's definitely like a, ooh, like, you know, moment. But it's not like she was revealing a very, well, I mean, it was important. It was an intimate story. But I don't think that like when someone's saying, you know what, and then like we had sex. And then he like gave me a cold shoulder afterwards. And I was like, I'm done with him. I don't think that's like a crazy thing to be like, hey, your ex just said this. I don't know. I just don't.

11:07Like I understand like it's maybe not cool, but I think when we were talking about girl code when you don't know this person, I don't know. I don't think it's still a girl. So I think like dating him would be but girl code is fucking with girl code. If you like turn around and tell the guy everything that she said at the dinner, but we don't know. So technically, I mean, I think I think technically. Yes. I just don't think that it deserves this level of scrutiny. No, because they were already giving her this level of crazy, you know, this level of pushback the whole season. And so this is just one more thing.

11:38And it's like, eh, you guys, you're like the ladies who cried wolf. You know, you're the ladies who cried girl code. And I've had enough. Is Giselle going to ice out Cookie for talking to Chris? Exactly. Well, that's the big thing here. Why is nobody mad at Cookie for being friends with Chris? But except Cookie and Monique are not friends. So that would not be a violation of girl code because she hates, they hate each other. But why are we trusting Sophia? I don't. I don't know her. So and everyone's like, well, she's friends with Karen, though. Yeah. And Karen's one of the messiest people on this show.

12:10Are we forgetting? I like that Karen has like, you know, gone to prison, gone to jail for the DUI. And everyone has elevated her to sainthood now. It's crazy. It's still Karen. Come on now. So Stacey's like, well, why don't we call the person accusing me of a lie then? And Wendy's like, oh, who can call Quith? You know Quith, don't you? Dun, dun, dun. hoverboard it's me i'm the hoverboard charise just hoverboards in from the sky and it's like here yeah it's the leaf anybody need me to be messy is that a pun yeah yeah yeah we didn't even mention that charise was in the scene last week and i remember like over the course of the week i was like oh we forgot to call out that charise was in the scene and then i thought do we have to call it every single time charise shows up we don't have to but then guess what charise plays a role she's like guess what i am the i am the eldest wag in the room so i have all the phone numbers of all the football players the eldest wag of all the wags so sharice calls she's like i'll call quiz so she calls him and um actually that's kind of more wendy three is more like this you're like i'll call right now so she does and it rings and rings and she's like hi quip this is the weave is that a pun and he's like what can i do for you the cell phone is like the size of a tic-tac in his hand he's like hello there so uh she's like okay chris i'm just imagining he's just like you're right i was holding it like this but for chris he'd be like hello there it's like I'm good.

13:57What is happening?

14:02I smell the blood of the housewives fight. What can I do for you? Okay, Chris, I'm good. I'm actually filming, which I know. Thank you very much. And we had a situation where Cookie was made to look bad. And I know you and Cookie are very good friends. And I just want to know if Stacy communicated with you about a conversation that was how about Monique. That's it. Yes or no, Chris? Yes or no? So he pauses, or at least they make it seem like he pauses. And then he goes, I don't know anything about what the fuck y 'all people are talking about. Okay, good. Have a good night. So Stacey's like, well, we called and here we are.

14:45You made a phone call and still she rises. Still I rise. Talk about drama. Talk about cell service Talk about clarity Talk about a reliable network So no one believes this though It seems like most women feel like Chris Is covering for Stacey that's the implication Cause you know then Karen is like Well then how would he know that there was a conversation Like how would he know about that And Stacey's like well you called Chris And you still want to accuse me of being a liar He just told you no Yeah and Everyone's like you're a liar you're a liar And Giselle's like nothing would convince me that she did not tell him nothing.

15:26Yes, I'm believing Stacy. And also, I believe that pigs fly. Of course I don't believe her. Princess Ben. So Stacy is like, it's very clear to me that no matter what I do or what I say, everyone is always questioning me. So fine. But I could care less. We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated. All right, Maya. Take a seat. So Jassy says hi to Greg. Greg walks in so Jassy waves hi to Greg. She's the one who does it. I guess they all like draw straws. No Greg comes over. He comes over. Whatever. It's like I don't know it's like saying a turtle walked in the room. It's like okay fine.

16:16That would actually be more. I was going to say that would be amazing. We'd all be like oh my god. I love that video where you became friends with the chicken on the dodo

16:27so Giselle's gonna celebrate her 10 million listens for her podcast and Stacy is trying to like she's sweating so she's trying to wipe down and Wale is having a conversation with Ashley Wale from Love Hotel and he's like your eyeshadow looks good everything looks amazing because now he's gonna be nice he can pretend like he wasn't ignoring her before yeah Wale you're so thirsty And he was much cuter on Love Hotel, right? He was really cute. I remembered him being cute on Love Hotel. He wasn't cute on this. But maybe it's because he's got like the thirst filter on. Because wherever there's a camera, there's Wale just trying to get into the camera, you know, into the shot or whatever.

17:03And so he's. Honestly, I have to say, I kind of love the strange trickling of Love Hotel men throughout these shows now. Like on Orange County, we had like Phil came back. And so did that one guy without like the chin. and then now we have Wale they're kind of like all floating through and it's just like fun to see these awkward men kind of you know getting a second chance in the limelight for like one second yeah so um Cherie's lost right because she called Chris and that was a big lose but she still wants to get one for the winning team so she's like okay girls well last time she and I went out we met these guys right and they're all married and the guy that she likes goes to the bathroom And the other guy says to her, oh, I can see you guys are into each other, but he's married.

17:49And this trick looks at him and says, what does that have to do with me? Boom. So everyone's like, oh, my God. Stacey's a whore. Stacey's a whore. Man stealing her burner alive. Suddenly you can't make jokes. Suddenly you can't have a funny, shady joke. I mean, I don't know. I mean, whatever. So I'm like, I'm going to defend Stacey no matter what. I know, but I also just love the thought that when the cameras go down, Stacey just turns into this, like, sex-hungry vixen, you know? It's like suddenly she's like, okay, cameras are down. She's like, what are you doing tonight? Married man. Yeah. I sold a camel sweater today.

18:34Fuck me in every orifice. Let's go. Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I kind of feel like sort of with the logic of like, this is not really how I believe what I think. But part of me feels like if you're going to use the logic that these women are using, then what Sharice, what were you and Stacey doing that going out with two married men in the first place? You know, like I think they were just talking to people at the bar. Right. Because she just said they were with. I mean, I'm assuming that they were just people they were talking to at a bar. I don't know now that being said I do fully believe that the Stacey who's on camera is very different than the one when the cameras are off and I love that for her it's time for a commercial it's time for a Crappens commercial

19:21so Wendy is like Stacey is talking to Wendy to be like can you get me together and everything and Wendy's like oh she's like oh girl they had you up on the ropes girl like you were up on the ropes She goes, oh, my God, put Vaseline on my eyes. Please do this. Oh, wow. You are really on the whoops. Put it on my knuckles. And so, you know, then we cut back to Greg. And Greg's like, no one spoke to me, everybody. I got a little jealous. And Jazzy's like, well, we spoke to you. We said, there's Greg, remember? And then we just decided to keep arguing. So sorry about that, but we are working. Okay.

19:54So then Vivian. I wonder how Greg feels, by the way, going to this party. and it's like you know the men always have to stand by the side and watch their their women fight and it's just like greg and then you got darius and bobby like he's like flanked i mean i i kind of feel like greg has the energy of someone he sort of has that like napoleon energy of of of someone who's trying to exert power on his women because he feels like inadequate in other parts of his life and i can't imagine that that standing between two like giant football player has made him feel any better about himself you know yeah it's like using bookends but you've only collected like you know one really small book it's not even a book it's just like a trinket it's like a yo-yo you found it's a rubik's cube um so then there's vivian vivian's talking to tia and they're bonding over the fact that they are uh nigerian which is cool i love that this show has really become it's like half the cast is wags half the cast are nigerians i think that's such a fun combo yeah i like that vivian's like oh you don't like stacy great i'll make dresses for you let's get together uh so they talk about being nigerian and then uh angel uh giselle giselle who said she's gonna go enjoy her party of course it's not she's not gonna do that because it's giselle right so she's like oh by the way yeah wendy just so you know why angel was all in my face talking about how she got smoke for you.

21:22So come over here, Angel. Come over here, Angel. Get some smoke for Wendy to her face. And, you know, then we see the conversation that Angel had where she's deciding to be upset with Wendy now. So Wendy goes, okay. So she's like, okay, make it make sense. Angel, you got smoke for Wendy. The smoke is smoking hot. It's smoking hot, everybody. Gather round. Next fight. Next fight. Let's keep it moving, people. Audition season. Let's keep it moving. So Angel is like it just feels more like I feel like you just don't treat me right I mean I feel like once you get to know me you'll see me as a different person but you haven't had a chance to get to know me I was surprised she didn't say that that's like her line this entire season in fact I was surprised she didn't say that the entire episode even later when she had people over to her house I was shocked Angel was like guys I'm really glad that you're finally getting a chance to know me I'm like oh god if she says that again so Wendy's like I don't treat you white she's like no you don't you're dismissive and snide like you're being right now and passive aggressive well what do you want her to do like give you a hug after you accuse her of something she didn't do like of course she's gonna dismiss you because it's an outlandish thing that you're doing it's crazy that you're bringing this up yet again that you're still upset about something that was discussed and dealt with weeks ago and it was also primarily Giselle who did it and now all of a sudden you're gonna resurrect it to be mad at Wendy and you now you want her to not be snide to you because of it I don't think so.

22:46And Wendy's done a very good job, I think, this season in general. She's having probably her best season. Her best season. With Angel, I think she's being very patient. She seems to be like, okay, it's a new girl. She's going to try and start a fire with me, whatever. And she's just keeping it kind of calm, cool, and collected, you know? And in this one, Wendy's like, okay, you want it? Okay, I'll just give it to you. But she does it in such a bored way, which is so funny. And she's like, oh, no, I'm being direct. And let me just tell you this. I'm not the one to have a problem, OK? Because I don't have an issue with you.

23:18It's a one-sided beef. It's a one-sided beef. And she's like, well, do you see? This is dismissive and gaslighting. OK, you said gaslighting. I can't. What are you, fucking 20? Get out of here. Everything is not gaslighting. I know. You can try to psychoanalyze me if you want. I'm like, I don't think she even tried to do that. She basically was like, you're trying to have an issue with me. I don't have an issue with you. so go do this if you want but i'm not going to engage in this yeah by saying gaslighting you're the psychoanalyzer not her what are you talking about you're throwing out some bullshit tick tops you know pop psychology terms god she's terrible so wendy's like i don't i don't need to okay i can tell what you were thinking while you were talking to me i could tell and angel's like oh because you're miss cleo come on angel so wendy's like yesterday tia told me the angel was upset because she saw me at the airport in nevis and i didn't say hi to her and you say that you saw me at the airport correct and she goes i did see you yeah so you don't say hi well you didn't say hi to me either so wendy just like like and case closed you cannot complain about someone saying hi if you don't say hi also like you can say hi first it's like you know what i hate is when people say you never call me you never call me i'm like the phone works two ways yeah exactly yeah exactly so um Now she's like, well, we addressed it.

24:39She felt like the whole catfish comment came from you. So did you originate the catfish conversation? And Stacy's like, how did the catfish comment come from Wendy? Wait, Giselle was the one who said catfish. Nothing can dim the light which shines from within. And Giselle's like, no, no, no, she didn't. Wendy said it. Wendy said it. I said it. I said it. I said it. I did. Wendy's like, she wants to have a problem. And so now Wendy and Stacey are both saying like Giselle said it and then we see footage of Giselle saying it. So Wendy's like, okay, instead of you coming for Giselle, it's me that you want to come for.

25:16And Angel's like, well, me and Giselle had a conversation. And this is just another example of you being dismissive. Angel, you literally walked into a conversation and put yourself, you did a self-fulfilling prophecy. You went into a conversation, put yourself in a position where she would dismiss you. And then you got mad that she dismissed you. Yeah. You came up with a court case that was dismissed. You came up with a dismissible case. Okay. If you don't want to be dismissed, then stop being dismissible. Get some evidence, ma 'am. So Wendy's like, no, this is another example of you falling flat.

25:48And just, I was like, ooh, Wendy's coming out. And so Angel's like, well, I'm done. Thank you. I don't choose to engage. You started it. You literally chose to engage. I know. Wendy's like, you're saying no thank you as if we want you here, girl. And she goes, it's fine. Kierna's like, are we still having the same chat? Oh, I know, Kierna, you're not the one who's going to be complaining about the storylines coming up again. Should we go back to two seasons ago where you spent an entire season talking about how no one paid attention to you while you had diarrhea? Oh, listen up, Scarface. So she's like, here comes her Siamese twin.

26:23Get on the piggyback. Get on her back. And I only say Scarface because I don't see a scar. So I don't know where that thing is, but I still haven't seen it. Even more damning. Listen up, Al Pacino. Oh, shut up. Shut up. absolutely gorgeous face. Quiet down, model face. Shut up, amazing cheekbones. Shut up, cheekbones from a family that all has amazing genetics. Shut up. So Stacy's like, here comes her Siamese twin. Get on the piggyback. Get on her back then. Kieran was like, girl, you just got off the back. They just ignore her because it's just another stupid, nonsensical Kieran-aligned. So they just ignore her.

26:59And Wendy's like, okay, listen to me, Kate. Can you guys just stop? Just stop. Oh, well, of course. at Giselle event is going to be an eventful day. It should have been called the$10 million battle, though. Princess Burn! Princess Burn! Two, two, the first 10 minutes, everyone. So Stacey's like, okay, well, what do you have to talk about besides me? And Karen's like, everything! She's like, well, what? For example, what? Everything, everything! My life, my business, my condo, my man, my things! Well, the only time you speak up is when it's about my name. She's like, well, what do you have going on?

27:34Well, I have a husband and a ring and you don't. Which is, again, so funny because, like you said earlier, I feel like Stacey's bringing this up mainly because she knows that that matters more to Kierna. I don't think this is a big deal for Stacey, but I think it's a big deal for Kierna. It's insecurity. Right. And Kierna's like, I don't want that ring. It's cloudier than a motherfucker. She's like, oh, is it? Oh, really? Well, it's probably cloudy compared to nothing. Go run after Greg. Go, bang. well you can talk well you got to talk about the man you paid did you pay tj and stacy's like go beg that's old that's last season that's old don't do me i know a tired asshole when i see one you're a tired asshole from detroit and i know when i see one oh yeah well you look like a troll i love stacy coming out like finally stacy's like fine i'll just fight these bitches you know um because for stacy to be like you look like a troll that's a lot for stacy and she's like um Don't do me By the way I like her dedication to fairy tale insults Because it was only a few weeks ago She's like you're an imp I'll bet you couldn't even figure out one of the riddles From the sewing guy I hope you get pricked and fall asleep for many years A troll and an imp What are you little boy made out of wood You're just a big bad wolf So Stacey tells Giselle Okay congratulations on a beautiful event And congratulations on your success And goodnight And Tia's like Stacey's leaving And Kira's like bye And Jassi's like but Stacey I haven't seen you since the wedding She's like okay well open your eyes honey I'm not welcome here I've come to support her and now I'm going to leave And she's like but why She's like I'll talk to you later And Giselle's like if you're gonna go please go please go please go it's like i pushed it i pushed the elevator button she's like please go so giselle giselle's really overplaying her hand this woman has done nothing to you this woman has done nothing to you and now you're following her to the elevator pushing the down button and kicking her out of your event like you lost giselle how many stupid storylines are you gonna lose until you shut up oh many many many and she's gonna come even harder at stacy at the reunion now that Stacey has become like the people's champion now that everyone is like obsessed with Stacey everyone loves her so now that's gonna make Giselle even angrier so Giselle's gonna just like double down and Wendy Wendy really she she backed the winning the winning the winning horse here right like Wendy needed an amazing season given the scandal that she's in she needed to come merge from this as like the people's hero as well and Wendy's having a great season.

30:24She's backing the one that we all love. It's just like everything is turning up roses for Wendy except for the fact that she may be facing serious jail time. But aside from that, it's a great look for her. Not maybe, is facing serious jail time. So Stacy is like, well, I pushed the button already. Well, I'm pushing it too. I'm pushing the button. No, I'm pushing the button. No, I'm pushing the button. I'm pushing it. I'm pushing it. I'm pushing it. So Giselle's like, I don't like what I've heard and I need to marinate on it. Like, okay. So you could also just stop talking about it and let Stacy do her own thing at the party and you can marinate later tonight, but that's fine.

31:03Yeah. So Stacy and Jazzy get in the elevator and leave. And meanwhile, Angel goes to Bobby, who's just like sitting there being hot, you know? And she's like, well, I told you I was going to say something to her and she was nasty and she was dismissive. She was not nasty. She was dismissive, but I mean. She was not nasty. She was dismissive with and we heard Ben and Ronnie say you know we rule in favor of the dismissive we dismiss you and we are we sustain the dismissiveness yeah sustained exactly so Bobby goes water Bobby goes water off the duck back mama I'm sorry was that dismissive that was dismissive that's dismissive he's kind of like you need to stop he's like remember when I told you last episode when I crossed my legs for America you need to just chill out while I'm saying it to you again.

31:54Water off a duck's back. Yeah. So now they're doing more cheers to Giselle's 10 million. And then it's time to catch up with the ladies. The party's over. So Stacy is with Arabella. We're going to make some pizza. She's like, do you want pepperoni? Or would you like my favorite flavor? You are alone enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody. God, I love that topping. I was so proud of you, baby. You did so well. The first race that you won, how did you feel? Like, did you know that you were that much ahead of the other people? And she's like, yeah. Sure did. So then Timo joins them, and Arabella's like, I literally tried my hardest, but we were only a second away.

32:40Oh, that's too bad. It's so funny. I remember when I was your age, I always won all of my swim meets. Oh, well. Okay, Timo, welcome back to the pizza party. Yes, you know, as a father, there's one thing I would like to say about losing, you know. You lost only by one second, okay? But still, you lose. Well, wait a second. That's not really a quote that we go by in this house. No, there's a Timo quote. And still you lose. This is what we say in Germany. Close, but no schnitzel. My schnitzel lose. My schnitzel lose. Still you lose. Still you lose, my schnitzel lose. So Timo's like, it was pretty close.

33:22Who wants to give me shovel? I would like shovel. Now is the time for shovel. It's like, what? Pizza shovel. It is time for pizza shovel. Oh, oh, you mean the paddle. Whatever it is called, give me pizza shovel. The pizza shovel? Isn't that sexy? Oh. So he slaps her butt with the pizza paddle thing. And she's like, oh, you helped your father with taking that outside. Bella, set the table, please. And she's like, thank God I have people who love me and support me. As I walked out of that party and out of that negativity, I'm walking into everything that sustains me as a mother and a wife at home.

34:00I found that among its other business, its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver. No time for poetry. Time for pizza shovel. Okay, well, Arabella, get in here. It's time for pizza shovel. So Arabella comes in She's like pizza pizza pizza pizza pizza Now is the time to stop talking about pizza Now is the time to eat about pizza So they sit down And um Stacy's like I am thinking about pizza night Back at home with my husband And not on a date with anybody else's husband Okay So uh she's talking about Timo and how they're not putting labels on anything Because we don't want to confuse Arabella So we don't, we don't want, we just told her we got a divorce.

34:46We can't just be like, we're back together. So we just make pizza shovel jokes at each other and giggle. We just make pizza with pale crust and serve them to her and say, this is real pizza. And she says, why is it in the shape of a kid's drawing of a house? And we say, no, that's a circle. She goes, no, it's a house. We say it's a circle. We just gaslight her until she believes that everything's okay. And she'll never watch television or ever find out about this situation. Well, I've got a lot of things coming up this week for Shio, Mommy's Gummies, Arabella. So I've got meet and greets where I actually go to dispensaries and I meet people that are trying Shio and eating Snickers bars off the back of their hands for some reason.

35:25Or one time I saw a guy eating mayonnaise straight out of the jar. What do you think about this, Arabella? Arabella's like, yeah, I think it's cool that you have a gummy bear brand. and they laugh and she's like, Arabella doesn't necessarily understand cannabis, but she understands that mommy has a line of gummies that are helping people feel happy and joyous. So what we like to do is we like to present information to Arabella and then lie about it right away. So she's at maximum confusion when the truth comes out later in her life. Now we go to Ashley and her boys and she's like, oh, you saw a bunny in the house?

36:00Was it a bunny or a bug? Oh, I hope you took the bug outside. You know, we don't kill bugs around here. like i would never kill a bug mother don't you worry about it i sent that bug off the kitchen counter and put it on the floor and i said you're not allowed up here this this space is for children only so then at so mimi comes over aka sheila aka ashley's mom and the kids are like keyboard keyboard keyboard so i thought this was funny to me i don't know if you had this thought but like ashley has this very nice little kind of keyboard situation um for the kids and has like a tv screen attached where you can like learn lessons so dylan goes and he sits at this keyboard and he puts his hands out on it i was like oh my goodness is i literally thought for a moment like this kid's been taking like little childlike lessons and he may actually be i thought he's to play something really good.

36:55And he's like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

37:02It's like Moonlight Sonata-ing out. But no, it's like you said. That doesn't work. Which makes a lot of sense with Ashley's, you know, intonation problems. Yeah. He's probably her accompanist. And she's trying to get him to play Loving and Surviving, whatever it's called. Healing and I'm thriving, I'll just survive. It's like, plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk. It actually made the song better. Commercials. Here comes one right now.

37:36So now Sheila and Ashley, she's like, I'm so proud of you. It's called Master Musicianship, Mommy. Now, please, retire to the other room so you and Mommy's wig can talk about her terrible, useless man. Like, okay. Mommy, will you be singing me a song? What type of song? I don't know. A song for the piano man. That's who I am, mommy. Oh, okay. I'd like to sing you, I'd like to play you a wonderful Elton John's tune called Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me. Are you ready? Ready? Yes. Blomp, blomp, blomp, blomp, blomp. All right, we're going outside, honey. before you do that i'd like to dedicate this this moment from mozart to you are you ready for a lovely bit of classical music yes all right okay we're going outside now so they go out and sheila's like okay so i'm so proud of you honey oh wow look at your house everything looks so good please don't cut me off like she always comes over with that voice like please honey please do whatever you want anyhow your piano sounds great the kids are doing great your house is so clean the yard looks so nice please don't cut me off i know and now she's like well i was talking to uncle lump the other day and like you know uncle lump was like you just gotta let josh go and so I let Josh go.

39:06And we see the flashback of Uncle Lump and I was like, you know what? I think it's time. We need to do something for Uncle Lump. He's been doling out good advice for these two ding-dongs for over 10 years on this show and no one listens to him. Every single year, he's like, you gotta leave Michael Darby. You gotta leave Josh. You gotta leave your boyfriend, Sheila. You gotta do this. You gotta do that. And they're like, okay, Uncle Lump, great advice. And then they go do the opposite thing. This poor man, he has to sit there every single season and just say the things that we are saying every single time knowing that they're never going to pay attention to anything he says.

39:43Poor guy. Yeah, and so she's like, well, why do you want to get rid of Josh, honey? And she's like, well, you know, I just feel like we need to be realistic. I mean, I don't want more kids and marriage would be a plus because I've, you know, I've done that already, so I don't need it. But he hasn't even been married or have kids. What a loser! yeah and we see flashbacks uncle lump being like yeah you know like don't you gotta let him go but then she's also says that by the way uncle lump also said that um you know like you i have to start respecting what you're gonna do too and you see uncle lump saying like ashley like you have to give your mom the liberty to live the life that she wants to she may be happy as you know a pig and shit like you just have to move on which i'm sure he's told her probably like a million times Because at this point, it sounds like Sheila's boyfriend, he sounds like a total deadbeat.

40:36And he sounds like he has some issues that are really affecting Sheila's life. It's really sad what's going on. But at a certain point, you just have to let people live their lives. And it's like, you just have to let it go, Ashley. Your mom's not leaving this guy. It's been 20 years. 23 is 23 years. So she's like, oh my god, this guy's such a loser. My mom's never going to leave the guy. Well, Ashley, you fumbled her bag. You know? you got rid of darby like what are you gonna do you gotta you gotta replace one in order for your mother to get over this one you need to get under another one okay with a lot of money so don't be this and make it happen you know the thing is this i'm maybe maybe if someone else told us to sheila she would listen i'm just not sure she's gonna take advice from the from the person who Michael Darby then was with Josh and then was chose.

41:26What's his face from love hotel, Ralph. I mean like Ashley, your picker is not so great at yourself. Yeah. You know, I feel for Sheila, but you can only feel so much. I mean, it's been years. I mean, and it's been 23 for Ashley, you know, but even for me for this 10, I'm like, Oh God, just who cares? Like what are you going to do? I have to, I have to say, uh, to quote, a great song from the 80s. Oh, Sheila. So, um... Could you play that, kid? Sure. Hold on, please. Are you ready? Blomp, blomp, blomp, blomp, blomp. Oh, Sheila. So now we go over to Wendy who is arriving at Jazzy's house and Darius is cooking for them.

42:12So sexy. Sexy cooking. So Jazzy's like i brought out the good stuff for you guys girl and so jazzy's like okay guys well um i hope you're hungry because darius has something else in the oven oh i'm sorry no pun intended i didn't mean it's not my oven it's not my oven something was formed in another oven during the course of our relationship it was pre-existing something pre-existing in the oven yeah i was distracted in the scene because Jazzy put out a nice little spread, but she had this like plate of shrimp cocktail that she put on like an armrest in between two sections of her sofa and that really, I couldn't stop looking at that.

42:59That like kind of stressed me out. Like, first of all, it just seems like a weird place to put shrimp cocktail in general, but also everything is gleamingly white or beige or cream in there. And you're going to put this shrimp, this dippable shrimp with a bright red cocktail sauce like dangling like on a plateau between the two seating areas of your sofa it just felt like no jazzy jazzy don't do that those shrimp didn't look good and i don't know what it was about the shrimp like they looked very precariously placed on the rim of that cup i just felt bad for the shrimp they looked like they were threatening something i was like don't jump don't jump you have so much to live for i was worried for the i wanted them to be larger i wanted them to be larger and i was gonna say that they just didn't look right but then we then went later on to angel spread and uh that really made jazzy's look like you know martha stewart went in there so those shrimp just look like raggedy you know how shrimp sometimes they look like they're torn like they're they're kind of too torn up they just maybe overboiled yeah something something looked wrong with those shrimp um but they were there and so um they were there there were shrimp there and so this is a stacy wendy and jazzy meet up and then the other girls are having like kind of a meaner girl meet up yeah but so those jazzy's like i literally hated to see my girl all over the place at the event because baby at the end of the day i want my girl to know i miss her and i'm grateful that she came to the wedding and since we didn't really get to shoot too much in the wedding we can pretend that this is kind of the wedding also right guys i just want to mention that i got married since bravo doesn't seem to pay attention to it whatsoever i'll wear a wedding dress in the confessional i don't care i will do that can we please get another wedding shot so we see a shot of stacy coming to the wedding and saying hi congratulations so when he's like oh that that sounds uh that sounds like your girl knocking like that you know she'd be knocking like she's from the fbi well you would know because it's stacy yeah so because the stacy's knocking So Jazzy's saying I'm always banking on the beautiful side That I've gotten to see of Stacey What is it?

45:06Guilty until No, innocent until proven guilty So I don't know what you did Or what you didn't do But I'm here to support you, Stacey girl Also, I'm just happy to find someone Who will shoot with me So I can be on a TV show Yeah So she also got shrimp for her Because she's pescatarian So that is the raggedy ass shrimp That's the low effort shrimp That was left out Low effort No, but it will get lower efforter at Angel's Place. I like that Stacey goes, the shrimp of it all. That's what I'm going to say when I walk into a room. Oh, the shrimp of it all. So now they start talking about, Stacey's like, well, can we talk about what happened after Giselle's event?

45:46I mean, what happened after I left? And Wendy's like, oh, can we talk about what happened while you were at the event? Let's talk about that. And Jazzy's like, can we talk about what happened before the event? How about five seconds after the event? Which time frame do we want to discuss? Can we just talk about events in general? I love them. Do you guys have pizza shovels? So then now we cut over to Angel's. So Angel has put out a spread that's like very supermarket coded. Like she has the supermarket cookies, which no snobbery. Those cookies are delicious. But she has supermarket cookies. She has the supermarket tray of cubed fruit and the supermarket tray of cubed cheese.

46:25and then she also has the supermarket shrimp cocktail which is smaller and sadder than um than what jazzy put out and also it was like really what we saw were like cookies and shrimp and i was like this is a i don't know if i love this this combo right now i mean i love shrimp cocktail i love cookies but i don't know if i want cookies and shrimp to be like my main offerings yeah we're all not home making things for our like little charcuterie things when the girls come over but there's a better way to do it like like let's have some art in this you know what i mean go to the buffet section and like you get little containers of things and then place them beautifully like why are you just unwrapping cookies from the store and throwing them on a dish that's yeah like we see you this is a bravo audience you're gonna have to like really up your game here okay go to whole foods like stop stop going to albertson's for this you need to go to like something like nicer go to whole foods go to like if you have a i don't know what the nice ones are out there in potomac but go there have them just do it for you but like you're a wag and you're on bravo like you have to do better than this spread i'm sorry angel and this has nothing to do with my feelings about you as a cast member but it doesn't help relatively low it doesn't help though yeah it doesn't help so um angel's like i have an announcement everybody i think i found the house that I'm going to buy.

47:44Wow. Isn't that great? Everyone's like, oh, great. Well, rich lady's getting a house. Congratulations. And then she's like, oh, it's so move-in ready. And that's a big difference. Yeah. It has nine bedrooms. Nine. It's a little big, but we can deal with that. God. Nine bedrooms. I have a filter room. It's just a big room full of Vaseline. I just take all my pictures in there. That's great. We're going to put in each bedroom, we're going to put a W-A or a G. So it'll say wag, wag, wag, because it's nine bedrooms. so that's nine letters. It's going to be great. And she's like, if someone asks where her kids are at, and she's like, hold on, let me get my binoculars.

48:19Oh, it's just that this property is just so vast. Hold on, let me see if I can see them. Oh, I can't see them. Oh, stop acting like you live in Yellowstone National Park, for Christ's sake. I know. Pull you out binoculars to try to find Bobby down by the river. She just wants to like, she wants to just brag again that she lives by the river. He must be down by the river, which we all care about. I'm by the river, guys.

48:44So they talk about the house a little bit while everybody gathers. And Tia's like, ooh, he sounds fascinating, doesn't he, Giselle? You should have him on your podcast. And she goes, everybody wants to be on my podcast. One thing Stacey's going to do is try to bring the group together. She's going to bring the group together because we trauma bond over Stacey. So when we get together to trash Stacey, it's a kiki. So she goes So Giselle starts saying about Oh the party was 10 million party for our listens And everyone rose to the occasion There was only one Cheeto that came Such a big deal the co-host didn't show up Huge Huge deal Huge, huge deal So they're making fun of Stacey's dress And Giselle's like She's the kind of woman you cannot trust And Tia's like Like, yes, she has just made this tangle web that we're in right now, which is so unnecessary.

49:42It's like, it's not the kiss of the Spider-Woman, more like the lies of the Spider-Woman. Oh, Princess Burn! So then we go back to Jazzy's, and Stacy's like, I don't understand why Kay was screaming at me over something that she heard from someone else, and I wasn't even given an opportunity to explain myself. When it comes to Stacy, Kay hypes up. Do you hear me? Do you hear me? If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded. So, and she's right. The only time Kiana gets excited is when she goes after Stacey. So, Angel, back at Angel's, Giselle's like, well, Kiana, I just saw you and you were like, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da.

50:28And she's like, yeah, I don't know why. Just like when it comes to me, like, Stacey like mustered up all of her Detroit, all of her hood. It's like, no, because you're always coming for her. Like you are, Stacey is always just kind of like, oh, Arabella. And then you say something to her. So she defends herself literally every single time. And so then we go back to Jazzy's and Stacey's like, oh, do you guys think that Kay is trying to have moments with me? And then we see flashes of the season and everyone is Kay trying to come for her for no reason. And Wendy says, I think you are her favorite toy in the toy box.

51:02well that means a lot to me because to be the favorite toy i mean that will sell really well on qvc zell is like what super bothers me about it is because y 'all didn't know monique when she was with her husband and to see her be able to sit down knowing what they have gone and divorced and talking about it it was just like refreshing to hear her story i mean giselle giselle suddenly leaning into this like oh how special to finally hear from monique when as if she wasn't one of the people who drove her off the show and as if she didn't rip down monique every second that monique was on screen for years for years every single season giselle was coming for monique and trying to rip her down right from the very beginning she didn't like that she had such a big house and that she was so braggadocious and all of that other shit so shut up giselle giselle's like me as monique's a biggest supporter even the bodyguard i was using to hold monique back from murdering me agreed that monique was very very raw yeah i mean i think she's trying to now recast it all by being like oh well that was not the real monique because that was the unhappy monique who was with chris but now we're getting the real monique and now she's being authentic so therefore i love her congratulations you've reached the end of part one of a two-part recap for part two go look for the recap that says part two see you over there suckers Watch what Crappens would like to thank its premium sponsors Ain't no thing like Alison King It's always a party on Alison Block Our way is the Amber way It's the Foster and the Furious It's Amanda Foster It's always automatic with Ashley Otto Put your hands together for Carly Clapp Get on the right foot with Chrissy Offutt We never miss her call, it's Diane Call Big yay, it's Emily Gauthier Erin McNicholas, she don't miss no trick-a-less Hava Nagila Weber You'll never hide from Heidi Eleanor Jones I go, you go, we all go for Hugo Jamie She has no less namey She's our kind of mess, it's Jennifer Messer Sips some scotch with Jessica Trotch She's our favorite streamer, Caroline Peacock Kristen the Piston Anderson Get a bee in your bonnet with Lacey B K, sara, sara, whatever we'll be, we'll Lauren Sills be She gets an A from us, it's Lindsay D Let's give a kisserino to Lisa Lino Fresh as a daisy, it's Maisie McHenry We love her on the rocks, it's Melissa Cox Megan Berg You can't have a burger without the Berg This is Livin' with Michelle Vivian I love-a-ya, Olivia Williamson She sure is swell, it's Raquel Yes we can-a, it's Sadana Cast a spell with Shannon Spellman Let's share with Sharon Eldridge Darn Skippy, it's Tippi And our super premium sponsors Make way for AJ Lopez She's VVIP, it's Amanda V Can't lose when you're with Amy Baldwin Somebody get us 10 cc's of Betsy MD We're taking the gold with Brenda Silva Let's get real with Caitlin O 'Neill Put us on a stretcher, it's Charlotte Fletcher Don't get salty with Christine Pepper Can't have a meal without the Emily Sides Who, what, why, where, and Gwen Pentland Let's go into the woods with Guy Tubbs Nobody holds a candle to Jamie Kendall Hail the Corkmaster, the Master of the Cork, Jennifer Corcoran.
