#3110 Vanderpump Rules S12E2 Part 1: A Manifest for All Seasons

0:00Ben Mandelker: Watch what crappens, watch what crappens, who cares what happens when there's so much that crappens. Well, hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. I'm Ben Mandelker and joining me today for some Vanderpump Rules action. It's Mr. Ronnie Karam. Hi, Ronnie. How's it going? Hi, Connor. Everyone, here we are, middle of the week. It's such an exciting time because Vanderpump Rules is back. It's exciting. So on Monday, we are doing two fabulous things. We have Amazon Live at 4 o 'clock on the West Coast, 7 o 'clock on the East Coast.

0:55Ben Mandelker: So join us for that because we actually have a lot of fun doing those. So we always love seeing your faces there in the comments, et cetera. And then after that, we have a crappy hour. It's our last crappy hour of 2025 and we're going out with a bang. There is slated to be a special guest, but we always, we never want to jinx it in case things happen and they can't be there for whatever reason. But we do have a special guest and we're really excited. I personally am extraordinarily excited for this guest. And I think that you are also equally extraordinarily excited. So stay tuned for that. And come join us Monday at 530 on the West Coast, 830 on the East Coast.

1:36Ben Mandelker: Also, we have Patreon, patreon.com slash watch for crappens, where you can watch our bonus episodes. This week, we did a trailer breakdown of Summer House, the trailer that everyone's been talking about. features the return of the original theme song and uh carl and kyle fighting which is exciting and rhyming so that is what's going on bonus episode ronnie we are here vanderpump rules

2:01Ronnie Karam: what say you what say you about vanderpump rules loved it two weeks in even better than the first one i liked it i thought it was really funny i mean listen when you've got someone getting a lap dance next to someone who's sobbing i'm in i mean that's when i was like okay this show is speaking to me this is all i need a bunch of young dum-dums i mean the guy who's like a fucking uh what is it uh the secret he brought up the secret a manifestation coach the guy who doesn't condition

2:28Ben Mandelker: his hair i mean yes i'm yeah i i love it too i think it's actually really good i actually have honestly have no complaints i'm actually shocked at how easily i just segued into this new cast i i started watching the episode it felt like old school vanderpump rules to me in terms of the way it looked, the pettiness, the silliness. I really have no issues with it whatsoever. And it makes me sad because I go online and I see people complaining. People, you've got to like get your priorities together because when the show, when last season on Vanderpump Rules, everyone complained and guess what? They got rid of the cast.

3:05Ben Mandelker: Now there's a new cast and everyone complaining. It's like you either complain, you complain about one or you complain about the other. Well, actually I shouldn't say that. I was going to say everyone has a right to complain about everything at all times. God knows I do. but like I think that people should legitimately give this show a shot I think it's I think it's

3:21Ronnie Karam: like very entertaining so far but you know what is part of being in the bravo audience yeah it's just that that's just how it is we're not grateful for fucking anything all we do is complain I mean listen and I'm the worst my hobby is complaining I love to complain and you know I watch you shows I mean I almost had a conniption fit watch talking about Salt Lake City today because of things that I was complaining about, but I don't want those people to get fired. I love their show. Like even the people getting on my last fucking nerve, I understand that they're giving me a gift, you know, because I watch these shows because I like people to get on my nerves.

3:55Ronnie Karam: I just like it. It gives me a chance to be judgmental and everything else. I don't know. It's like you have to see the grateful part too, but I do think it's just part of being the Bravo audience. We complain about everything. We don't like anything. If you only read what people's reactions were to shows, you'd be like, these shows are going to be canceled in two seconds. But ever since they came out, that's just how the Bravo audience is. We like to fight and we like to complain.

4:20Ben Mandelker: Yeah, I get that. And the truth is, you know, I obviously famously complained right from the get-go about the Roni reboot and how I didn't like it, yada, yada, yada. And I would contend that, you know, the reason why I complained about that was because that show did not go back to its roots. It tried to create new roots in a different kind of vibe and that failed. whereas this show I think actually did go back to what the show was always about which is poor people working at a restaurant thinking that it's going to make them famous outside of reality fan stardom you know and I think that's that's what we want and what we need so I think that like the the reboot is doing good things um I also should mention that uh there was a Vanderpump Rules publicity party basically like Bravo threw a party for Vanderpump Rules on Monday so invited all all the usual suspects so i was there courtney from two judgy girls kiki monique sassy for the bravo docket ryan bailey all of us you know we're just a pack so we went to sir

5:19Ronnie Karam: i'm so pissed and we're still so pissed i'm still so to this day i'm pissed i'm missing so much stuff being in texas and i'm sorry go ahead because i'm happy for you so it was fun got to

5:29Ben Mandelker: like, you know, you know, I hadn't been discerned forever. I forgot, I forgot the joy that, um, that comes with trying to sit in those tiny little kindergarten seats they have where you sit and your knees are up to your eyeballs. I like, why do they have those chairs? Um, here's some of my takeaways. So there were, there were tons of past apps. You cannot imagine there was more Pat, there are more little hors d 'oeuvres going by than I've ever seen at a party. And like, look, We've both been to Sur. We know food is not the strong point. It's not even their weak point. It's their really, it's their food.

6:03Ben Mandelker: It's not even a point. I'm surprised they even have it, to be honest. Can I tell you something? Their hors d 'oeuvres were delicious. Every single one of them. I was like, that's really, that was delicious. That was delicious. I mean, they had crab cakes, you know, tuna tartare tacos, goat cheese balls, sliders, everything. I was like, whoa, something has happened here. And I'm actually not even comfortable with how good this food is tonight. Like, and we were all like, Whoa, the food is good here tonight. So chef Joe stepped up his game. I appreciate that. Um, also, so almost the entire new cast was there.

6:40Ben Mandelker: The only two people that were not there were the eyebrow cousins. I don't know why they weren't there. Maybe they, maybe they have a scandal brewing that NBC was like, we're not going to put them in front of our content creators, but everyone else was there.

6:50Ronnie Karam: I would have left anyway. If my little mini brows wasn't there, I love him. Mini brows was not there. So cute. his little tiny butt and his little mini brows

6:59Ben Mandelker: Shane Davis was there and he was wearing like sorry, Shane Davis Shane Davis was wearing like a black Shane Davis was wearing like a black t-shirt but at some point he was like I'm gonna take the t-shirt off so we took it off and he was just like walking around in like a white like tank top yeah Shane Davis

7:16Ronnie Karam: that's why you're Shane Davis baby yeah Shane, Shane Davis

7:20Ben Mandelker: the white tank top was like actually I don't know it actually like we all kind of agreed we're like kind of ruined something it just sort of was like not it wasn't as sexy as you think like yes we could see his arms but it kind of took away from his hotness i'm not gonna lie and then um i do not believe you and i love a bunch of like podcasters sitting around like

7:42Ronnie Karam: shaming the hottest guy in the room it was just sort of being like whatever we have to he doesn't work with that that doesn't work for him we have to otherwise we need to be able to

7:54Ben Mandelker: Superboy at the hot people.

7:55Ronnie Karam: Hilaria Baldwin was there. Hilaria Baldwin. What the hell is she doing there? Get back to your cucumbers.

8:03Ben Mandelker: I don't know. But I think my theory is that her Dancing with the Stars partner, Gleb, he was there. And Gleb was Lisa's partner. So I think Lisa invited him. And then he invited Hilaria. But I didn't realize it was Hilaria at all. People were like. Sorry, but her name is Hilaria. Hilaria. Hilaria. about what um uh i'm trying to think of who i interacted with uh marcus marcus uh from the show uh i was like okay i'm gonna go take a picture and and i go up to him and he's like oh man you guys are hilarious oh man you guys are so funny so he listens and he was so he was adorable i'm not gonna lie he was adorable and uh i was like now listen we're still gonna make fun of you And I said, if you really mess up, you're going to hear it from Ronnie.

8:54Ben Mandelker: I said, for me, I said, well, because I said, I will, I'll go in on you, but Ronnie will really go in on you. So be careful. He's like, totally, man. I mean, what's going to get you, but it'll also take care of you forever.

9:07Ronnie Karam: He'll also, he'll also hug you. Okay.

9:09Ben Mandelker: Yeah, we will hug you. We will take care of you. Sweet, sweet Marcus. Don't, don't quote me on the sweet part because we were only two episodes in. And then I saw there was just sort of around, I met Natalie and she was like, hi. Um, and, uh, someone on the staff, Gabby, she's like, Oh my God. She also listened to the show. She was like, am I in the presence of greatness right now? I love your podcast.

9:31Ronnie Karam: Oh yes. So I hope I see Gabby on the show.

9:35Ben Mandelker: I hope you see Gabby on the show. Oh, and I'm actually one of my greatest thrills. Wow. You could take like pictures in the back alley. So that was fun. Except they were all blurry. Thanks a lot. That's so typical that you do have, like, they have a professional photographer back there taking blurry photos um in the in the back alley but i was like you know all this has been exciting it's cool you know ken and lisa were there ken's sort of like he's sort of like walking around like the tin man but um i said honestly the thing was he holding a tiny dog of course yes the thing that was yeah and by the way the two bartenders the two male bartenders who were back there holy crap i mean sir's always had hot bartenders these are the two hottest bartenders they've ever had on their staff.

10:18Ben Mandelker: I was like, wow, Lisa really pulling out all the stops. But the thing that got me the most starstruck, the most starstruck of all, of the entire evening, and I say this as someone who got to take a picture with Lisa, the thing that got me most excited was I got to see the Sir Squirrel Machine up close and personal. I was like, is that it? I was like, Gabby, is that the machine? She's like, that's the machine. I was like, oh my God, it's the Sir. a number of times we've seen Sheena clock in on that machine or tap it like clock, clock, clock, clock, clock, clock. Table 16 needs a pumpkin. I was like, this is the real star of the show.

10:56Ben Mandelker: No, the refrigerator is the star.

10:58Ronnie Karam: Did you get a picture of the fridge?

11:00Ben Mandelker: Well, that's in the kitchen. I don't think we're allowed in the kitchen. Isn't it right by the

11:06Ronnie Karam: machine? It's right by the squirrel.

11:08Ben Mandelker: It is. I did take a picture of the machine. I'm going to try to get the, let me see if I, hold on. I'm going to send it over and I'm going to put it up on, on our screens. That way everyone can see the glory that is, um, you know, the sir squirrel machine. Of course, airdrop isn't working at this very vital moment of the podcast. And I just have to vamp, vamp, vamp, vamp, vamp. The point was, it was a really fun night and, um, it was a delight. I also, Oh, I also went up to someone that I thought I recognized from Bravo con and I went up and I go, hi. And she goes, hi. I go, we met at Bravo con, right?

11:41Ben Mandelker: She goes, yeah. And then she was staring at me like, I don't know who this person is. And I realized, I don't know who this person is. I go, well, it's good to see you. And she left. And I was like, I don't know. Who is Alaria?

11:53Ronnie Karam: She was like, adios, amigo. Hasta luego, amor.

12:00Ben Mandelker: That's exactly how it went. All right. Anyway, it was super fun. Yeah, I'm super proud. It was a great time.

12:07Ronnie Karam: I'm glad you had fun.

12:09Ben Mandelker: Oh, look what's on screen, everyone. Stupid fan. The squirrel machine. There it is. I'm not lying. Look, Ronnie. Hold on. Look. Oh, there you go. Crap is on demand. Exclusive. It's a shot of the squirrel machine at Sir. And look, there's a martini glass next to it.

12:26Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So someone's actually working there because you see an empty martini glass. You know, you know, it's in use. Well, that's good. Good times, everybody. Well, thanks for the invite, guys.

12:37Ben Mandelker: Yeah. I'm sorry. I wish I had more tea for everyone, but it was, it was just a giant, like publicity event. It was fun.

12:43Ronnie Karam: Yeah, it sounds fun. All the pictures look really great. I've seen, I see it on everybody's socials, you know, and I'm like, whatever. So Lars and Carrie.

12:50Ben Mandelker: Oh yeah.

12:51Ronnie Karam: Laura and Carrie were there. Everyone got to go except me.

12:54Ben Mandelker: Bravo breaking news. Our friend Jacques from Daily Mail. The Jazz Girls. Whatever.

13:01Ronnie Karam: Okay. So let's get this going. We open up at where? Sir, everybody. And, um, A little cupcake comes out. A waiter's holding a little cupcake. And the little poof comes out. And then Lisa turns into Lisa. And she's like, hello. Bloody hell, that staff meeting. I mean, what was that, darling?

13:21Ben Mandelker: Oh, yes. How terrible. Guillermo's like, with everything that we have to deal with, you know. Like, did you remember last week when we saw that plastic bag blowing across Santa Monica Boulevard? The times. The times.

13:35Ronnie Karam: They are a-changing. and there's a lot of intense relationships going on here, that's for sure, because it's, uh, what a crazy environment. Marcus has been with us for many years, but I don't know whether to suspend him, fire him, or throttle him. But how can I throttle a person with a penis? I'm going to have to find a way to work this out.

13:59Ben Mandelker: I mean, it's hard to believe it. He's been working here for so long. I mean, he's worked so long he predates 2023.

14:11Ronnie Karam: The year at all changed. 2023.

14:16Ben Mandelker: How can I run a successful business if the servers are pissed on the floor? Pissed of course is in English that means drunk. My English, not your English. You guys messed it up on the boat coming over here.

14:35Ronnie Karam: Well, we've got to do the Sir Pornography photo shoot. It's just in a couple of days, everybody. This is where we make a calendar of sexually harassing the young people that come in here to work. Now I'll whip them into shape for sure.

14:50Ben Mandelker: That's right, because we have HR now. And as we all know, HR stands for Happy Rotini. it's new on the menu

15:02Ronnie Karam: hussies and renegades so the restaurant

15:06Ben Mandelker: it's contagious when Lisa gives a real sweaty joke about the English and coming over and being drunk it's just contagious you start making bad jokes yourself what can I say

15:15Ronnie Karam: when did we ever stop happy rotini

15:19Ben Mandelker: please get the happy rotini

15:24Ronnie Karam: so now the restaurant's opening and guests are coming in And Demi's like, hi, how's it going? And Chris is like, oh, my God, I'm sweating my balls off. You look happy for once. And she's like, thank you.

15:36Ben Mandelker: By the way, I did talk to Demi also. I said, by the way, I love you on the show. She goes, really? I'm like, yeah. Like, oh, you're not joking. I was like, no, I think I love that you look disgusted by everyone. She's like, I am.

15:48Ronnie Karam: That's funny. So which one is Chris? I'm sorry. I still don't know people's names.

15:53Ben Mandelker: I think Chris is tall jersey, tall eyebrows.

15:56Ronnie Karam: Oh, yeah. Okay. From Tangled. So he's like, yeah, I know I'm new to the restaurant because I've been here for like three weeks. But my first impression of Demi is like she doesn't have a resting bitch face. She has a resting I fucking hate you face. It's 24-7.

16:14Ben Mandelker: Or she just might hate you 24-7. So Demi's like, do you know the specialty cocktail? How would I know that? She just points like the menu that's literally in front of him. this is where the resting bitch face comes from so audrey is seating guests uh because that's her

16:31Ronnie Karam: job and she's like i've been serving since i was 16 i knew i needed to support my goals and dreams of becoming a scream actress and like literally the first time i was ever driving to la i'm like listening to rihanna full blast and then i got pulled over because i saw sirens behind me so i like pulled over and then like i've had i've had handcuffs on me and it wasn't the last time and they show for playing Rihanna at full blast

16:57Ben Mandelker: was that the story the police officer's like if I hear one more card playing shine bright like a diamond I swear I'm just gonna arrest them it's like the song is overplayed okay I don't care if Sia wrote it

17:11Ronnie Karam: where are you now what's that song where have you gone all

17:21Ben Mandelker: my life. Now we'll know if Rihanna listens to the podcast, she'll be like, how dare you? I secretly dreamed that she listens to our podcast, but I know she definitely doesn't. I just want to be like Heather Gay and have Rihanna in our DMs. So what I also liked is when Audrey's telling this story about how she was driving to LA to start her life at Sur. The picture was from 2023. I was like, really? This really is a momentous year. That's all they talk about is year 2023 on this show.

17:56Ronnie Karam: It's when everything fucking happened. It's like they're talking back to the Stone Ages. They're like 2023. I know. When the Declaration of Independence was signed. 2023.

18:07Ben Mandelker: Expect like the Black Monolith from 2001 to be there. And you just see like a server throwing a pumptini glass in the sky. And it comes back down. It's just a little pumptini though. It doesn't advance the timeline.

18:18Ronnie Karam: mine um so audrey likes chris they're like flirting a little bit and someone and then we go to venus at a table and um someone's like oh i love your necklace and he's like oh thank you it's moldavite yeah i got it from having a dream and this is probably the only crystal i've ever experienced that actually had effects on my life okay we don't need that you know it's like when a customer said when you say hey how you doing and the customer goes good how are you they don't really

18:42Ben Mandelker: care dude okay quiet come to my house yeah you i would have allowed the it's moldavite but after that like no more don't need to know like that you got it from a dream and that it's had side

18:54Ronnie Karam: effects on your life um what does that mean then i got it from a dream you dreamed of moldavite and then you went and found a moldavite necklace what does that mean i don't understand you're talking in flakes sir okay i don't believe the thing you're saying and i don't like when someone's like, oh, I'm a manifestation coach. You're waiting on my table. Don't get my, I'm manifesting bread. Make it happen.

19:15Ben Mandelker: I'm manifesting the end of this anecdote. Yeah, exactly. I'm using the secret to have you be quiet and take my order. I'm manifesting the end of your Moldavite story. Moldavite is a rare natural glass that is, it was formed from a meteorite 15 million years ago in what is now the Czech Republic. Wow. I mean, I mean, I know Prague is a popular tourist destination, but wow, I didn't know it's been so popular for 15 million years. Am I right, meteors?

19:46Ronnie Karam: Moldavite, a high vibration tektite from a meteorite impact, is believed to cause intense personal transformation, spiritual growth, and accelerated evolution by cleaning energy, releasing patterns, and connecting to higher realms. I don't see anywhere in this description that says moisturize his hair. Okay? Change your stone.

20:07Ben Mandelker: he's like i have this crazy thing i just have i have this moldavite necklace and now all of a sudden i can speak check it's the craziest thing i'm in another table jason's like here follow my instagram jesus christ is anybody gonna work you're telling your customers to follow your instagram

20:22Ronnie Karam: how dare you the guest is like i'll follow you right now i'm asking ai i said what are the top

20:31Ben Mandelker: 10 dumbest crystals and is Moldavite on the lists.

20:34Ronnie Karam: It is funny though because the first time I ever met Tom Sandoval he I met him at a bar down the street from my house years ago pre 2023 believe it or not and he was like oh hey hey bro what's up and I was like nothing and he's like follow my Instagram

20:53Ronnie Karam: yeah dude so it's very

20:55Ben Mandelker: Vanderpump rules to be like hey follow my

20:57Ronnie Karam: Instagram bro yeah

20:58Ben Mandelker: so Moldavite am I right everyone

21:01Ronnie Karam: It's time for a commercial.

21:03Ben Mandelker: It's time for a Crappens commercial.

21:12Ben Mandelker: I literally asked AI to come up with the 10 stupidest crystals, and it's actually given me a list of 10 crystals. It's actually kind of funny.

21:19Ronnie Karam: 10 stupidest crystals?

21:20Ben Mandelker: Well, at first it was like, well, what do you mean by that? Like, are you talking about their most ridiculous metaphysical properties? And I was like, sure. So now it says, now it came up, it like basically is passing judgment. It's like, organite, not technically a crystal, but contains crystal bits in resin. It claims to convert negative organ energy into positive energy, a concept invented by William Reich that has zero scientific basis. People make pyramids out of this stuff.

21:43Ronnie Karam: Yeah, it's savvy. Mine says, there's no official list of stupidest crystals, as it's subjective. But common criticisms in the crystal community involve easily damaged or coated stones like mystic topaz, virtually lifeless synthetics like poorly cut Spanel. and generally disliked opaque types like some jasper or stones with bad reputations like opal. While geologically, minerals like cinnabar or galena are considered stupidly dangerous. Girl, there's a crystal that is considered stupidly dangerous called galena. Girl, these crystal people watch Bravo.

22:20Ben Mandelker: I mean, my AI is being real catty. It's like azestolite literally trademarked by one guy who claims angels told him about it. it's just quartz, but he insists his specific quartz is special. Peak crystal gift. Whoa, AI. And then the next one says citrine, which is heat-treated amethyst. It goes, most, quote-unquote, citrine is just baked amethyst, but it's sold as a, quote-unquote, manifestation stone that attracts wealth. The financial irony is chef's kiss.

22:46Ronnie Karam: Whoa! Yes. I love a bitchy AI. I love it.

22:50Ben Mandelker: AI is not playing today. Meanwhile, behind the bar, Natalie

22:54Ronnie Karam: is talking about Marcus. Marcus was kicked out of the staff meeting. What does everybody think about it it's crazy i was actually shocked to see him get kicked out can you even believe it like

23:03Ben Mandelker: shook shooketh and demi's like yeah that's like cool and everything but bar four ordered food and they didn't cover your table so can you take care of that please thank you very much jason

23:12Ronnie Karam: so um demi um so he's basically ordering jason around and jason's like but like can we get a

23:20Ben Mandelker: drink menu like whatever he's just like well sorry i did this because like you were gone talking to the bar or whatever so like you're really failing your job you're stupid so he's like but where's

23:31Ronnie Karam: the straws and kim's like over by where the salt is and he goes oh see that's why i need marcus because like he was feeding me the knowledge he was feeding you the drink sir he fed you no knowledge that's why you still don't know where straws are yeah so kim tells us marcus and i date

23:46Ben Mandelker: started dating about nine months ago and we've had like a lot of ups and downs because marcus's go-to is when we're fighting is saying like we're broken up it's like ross and rachel break up where you aren't actually broken up like you can't sleep with anybody else but we're like broken up and we're not speaking for a few days like it's like one of those things the worst thing to ever happen

24:05Ronnie Karam: to pop culture was friends being re-released on netflix why are we still hearing about friends i liked the first time didn't you like friends you didn't like friends nah not really oh my god every episode i was so invested i was like ross ross is such a prig Like, oh, my God, they deserve each other. How did they get back together? But they were on a break. I mean, I was totally into it the first go around. But the second go around, I'm like, I've already seen it. It's like when someone watches Breaking Bad too late. You're like, oh, yeah.

24:35Ben Mandelker: It's called Broken Bad at this point.

24:37Ronnie Karam: Yeah, or like Game of Thrones. Like, oh, my God, have you heard of Game of Thrones? Who do you think is going to win?

24:42Ben Mandelker: It is really annoying when people have breathless announcements about, like, oh, my God, I'm like on season three of Game of Thrones and like, I cannot believe what they just did. Like, yeah, well we all watched it. And I say this to someone who watched it late also. But anyway, uh, I agree. Like the last thing I need is some, this is how you know your basic is if you're comparing yourself to Ross and Rachel.

25:04Ronnie Karam: Yeah,

25:05Ben Mandelker: true. That's how like, at least like up your game. Why don't you say like Niles and Daphne, just try it, try it out.

25:11Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So she's like, so, I mean, we can be broken up, but I still can't have sex with anybody else. But I mean, it's like the dumbest Ross and Rachel breakup. So Demi's like If I had a dollar every time Marcus and Kim broke up I would not need to work at Zara anymore

25:29Ben Mandelker: I thought she was going to go someplace more inventive than that But I have to remember it's Vanderpump Rules I just play along at this point Like this time it's serious Like they are for sure broken up Like yes you are, good for you

25:39Ronnie Karam: Oh no, that's so sad I'm bored, I'm Demi So back with Jason and Kim She's like you're actually going to learn how to be trained properly without him I mean, I didn't say that, though. Okay. And he's like, well, listen, tell him I said hi. Okay, would you text him for me? Just tell him I miss him.

25:56Ben Mandelker: Jason's so cute. I just want to hug him. I love his, like, 2005, like, emo hair that he has. It's like he's, someday he's going to be, you know, like in 10 seconds to midnight or whatever that band was. or car dashboard confessional or, you know, what was the name of the, nevermind. Name of Simone? Who's that guy? Who's that awful guy that was on the hills?

26:28Ronnie Karam: I know none of your music. I know none of your music, sir.

26:32Ben Mandelker: The guy with the spiky hair. He was a musician. Come on, we could do this one. Jason. Sting. Jason Alexander.

26:40Ronnie Karam: He was. Jason's vacation.

26:43Ben Mandelker: He had that song that was called On the Way Down. Bob Barker. Bob Barker. You know. Bob Costas. Ryan Cabrera. Dolly Parton. He's like an aspiring Ryan Cabrera.

27:00Ronnie Karam: So now we see Marcus and his brother Aaron arrive at All Season Brewing. We don't shut down for the winter. This is All Season Brewing, bitches.

27:11Ben Mandelker: Bro, this brewery is the post office of brewing. It doesn't care if there's snow or thunder or like 65 degrees in LA. We are going to brew for you.

27:26Ronnie Karam: So he's like, cheers to a better day than yesterday. Am I right? So he talks about growing up in Indiana. Him and Aaron were like two peas in a pod. Aaron was always the well-behaved older brother. And I was just a psychomaniac younger brother. That doesn't sound like two good peas in a pod.

27:43Ben Mandelker: That's not two peas in a pod. That's not a functional pod. I'm sorry. The two peas in a pod means you're both like both cray cray or you're both like really lovely and sweet. But like if there are two different peas here in different pods, I apologize. But that's the reality.

27:58Ronnie Karam: Isn't that why it's nice watching Vanderpump Rules with a new cast? Because you can still explain things like pee in a pod like it's new to somebody. You know, you can be like, oh, come over here, kid. Let me tell you what two peas in a pod really means. got the Rams blanket.

28:12Ben Mandelker: Marcus says he looked different than everybody in his neighborhood because his mom's Italian and his dad's black. And they were the only mixed family in the neighborhood. And he was also a lot smaller than everyone. So it made him an easy target in a lot of situations. He goes, no joke. Before I was 10 years old, I probably had like 50 fights. So he's like, so older brother, we had a meeting yesterday. like natalie got suspended like well she was suspended and it was like the first time we had a meeting since then so i was thinking i was just gonna like watch and never get it see what everyone get bitched at but then lisa comes in and she's like she's like prince she comes in floating and singing party like it's 1999 and that was a funny reference i was like actually

29:01Ronnie Karam: not does have the ruffles yeah he does have the same outfit yeah and did you notice in the opening now the things she throws because you know how she's always throwing something in slow motion remember at the time wasn't it a purse one time chef penny's like ow um but this time it was it's like a pink like uh panther print or cheetah print scarf and it's just purple if only it were a

29:27Ben Mandelker: raspberry beret but um yeah she just throws garbage she just throws garbage and yeah i want

29:34Ronnie Karam: I want to see her throw a McDonald's container out the window of her car. It's just slow motion. A Mr. Coffee machine.

29:41Ben Mandelker: Just throw Rocio's old alarm clock radio. The Sony Dream Machine. She's like, there! Crash. At the side of the wall. She just throws Jiggy out.

29:58Ben Mandelker: She's just throwing rescue dogs out of the car. She's just throwing free merch she got from Peacock. They're like, welcome back to the Peacock family. Lisa has like a cutting board. She just throws it. No.

30:10Ronnie Karam: So he's like, yeah, I mean, and then she's looking at me, bro. And she's fucking hitting me with the stalest face ever. I hope that I don't. I hope she never hears you call her face stale.

30:23Ben Mandelker: No, man. Stale means hot in Gen Z talk. Just kidding. Stale means stale. So he's like, I don't know if she's being a rich ass. Real.

30:32Ronnie Karam: Real. something I need to say all the time like real real real

30:40Ben Mandelker: you're cooking facts facts 6-7 6-7 I don't know if she was like just being a rich asshole or if I got in trouble so like she's like Marcus going to the bar and drinking shots you're scooping sangria walking around with a coffee cup I mean apparently Natalie was looking for something on the security tapes and I got caught, man.

31:08Ronnie Karam: Yeah, and his brother's like, that is hilarious. Yeah, I've been at Sur just over three years and Lisa's always busting my balls for sure. Wink! So then we see one week earlier, we see an example of this. He's serving Lisa and he goes, hey, I know you're waiting for some people. Do you want me to get anything going for you? She goes, I'm not waiting for anybody. Ooh, burn! Yes, ball buster!

31:33Ben Mandelker: Do you want some English breakfast? No. Ball Buster, two for two. Two for two. You want some Earl Grey tea? Earl Grey tea?

31:44Ronnie Karam: No. Earl Grey tea? It's Wine O 'Clock. I have an Academy Award here for last name Keaton. First name Buster. Buster.

31:57Ben Mandelker: Ball Buster.

32:02Ben Mandelker: or i guess it's like to be honest everyone does drink at work i just happen to get caught so

32:08Ronnie Karam: marcus said yeah she sent me a text message yeah that's that's why you're in trouble stupid that's what happens when people are in jail too they're everybody does that it's got caught yeah because

32:16Ben Mandelker: you're an idiot okay stop bragging like that yeah so he's like she sent me a text message and she said marcus this is lisa i which by the way i love that that's how like them trying them trying to convince us that like Marcus is like a beloved part of the family when this is clearly the first time that Lisa's ever texted him because she has to say Marcus this is Lisa

32:37Ronnie Karam: Marcus this is Lisa this is written in disappearing text because I'm magic now listen here we're going to have a meeting on Tuesday okay because I know that you're better than this and I want to see you come through it because at the end of the day you've got a wiener so please let's work this out Boys will be boys. And then the text disappeared, bro. I never saw it again.

33:07Ben Mandelker: Yeah, it turned into like a handkerchief in my hands. The entire phone did. It was crazy. So obviously I'm nervous about what she's going to say or if I'm going to get in trouble. But like, by the way, did I tell you about the night before that much at Belmont? Kimberly was getting into it with Natalie about whether or not me and Natalie are really friends. And we're like, brother and sister, we do have that kind of vibe. And she's like a little nuts, a crazy little sister. I mean, what's going on, man, bro? What do I do?

33:31Ronnie Karam: Aaron's like, that's hilarious. Yeah, but I don't even know that Kimberly knows that, you know? And he's like, do you feel like you're not doing a good job of making Kimberly feel secure enough?

33:43Ben Mandelker: Whoa.

33:44Ronnie Karam: There's silence while he just considers that like, uh.

33:49Ben Mandelker: Marcus does like the double blink thing. That's my favorite thing that Marcus does is that he does like a heavy double blink. It's like the Teresa Judas blink. and so like when he doesn't when he's either sad or he doesn't understand something his his entire face squishes together he's like you know because some people when they blink they just lower their eyelids but he moves the entire face in into the blink he likes like yeah this is gonna be an assertive blink and he's just looking at his brother like what it's so adorable he's like

34:20Ronnie Karam: well i think i'm doing a great job i mean we still have sex all the time so that's great you know so at least she knows I'm using her for something. And I am kind of in love with her, you know, but I'd rather be peaceful and steady than in love living my life like a goddamn maniac.

34:36Ben Mandelker: Yeah, peaceful and steady. So now we go to Venus's place and Audrey shows up and Audrey's like, oh my God, you look so cute. I love this orange moment that you have with this vest. He's like, thank you, I'm going for Justin Bieber. She's like, I'm really living for it. This is great. You know, I felt Venus's aura the second I laid my eyes on him and his moldavite necklace. God, those side effects.

35:00Ronnie Karam: His aura is so moldavite. I mean, the second I looked at him, I was like, that guy crashed out of a meteor.

35:10Ben Mandelker: He looks like he is embedded deep below Prague from a meteor that landed 15 million years ago.

35:15Ronnie Karam: And he's like, yeah, we have this communication Where we're like, we penetrate each other's eyes And we know that we have something to fucking tell each other I'm obsessed I'm obsessed with her

35:29Ben Mandelker: You are me, I am you We are one Like, obsessed Our auras are obsessed Oh my god, I'm so excited to do our manifestation, Venus Okay, what look am I giving you right now?

And he's like, yeah, I stole this candle from Sir. I just manifested a Sir candle in my house. And now I got it. Okay. listen manifestation is complex as fuck okay but i'm gonna break it down into eastern terms

36:22Ben Mandelker: oh my goodness i'm ready my body is ready for the for digestible manifestation so venus is like audrey reminds me of home we're both from texas and she has that sweet southern charm and she's like yeah and we're both single which is so texas and so like when venus told me that he was a manifestation coach i was kind of like i kind of like creamed my pants i was like oh my god i was like if you're straight i would jump on you can you manifest turning straight again please

37:16Ben Mandelker: you know maybe he's got something there you know what venus tells us where i grew up you're from texas so you get it i grew up in a small in a small town and like we didn't have a red light i was gay so i wanted to go to the red light district i didn't even know what that was i was like what's the red light district do we just go to target by a red light i had no frame of context we had no red light and i had like to pretend to be someone that i wasn't to fit in like someone who loved driving through an intersection that just had a stop sign. And I was like, give me a traffic light, damn it. That's what I felt on the inside.

37:45Ben Mandelker: By the way, I stumbled on this book. It's this crazy old book from ancient times from before 2023. It's called The Secret. Have you heard of it?

37:52Ronnie Karam: The Secret? Girl, please. Who's still talking about The Secret? Yes, I've heard of The Secret. It's how I get parking spaces. And I still use it to this day for that. But I think that's pretty much all it's good for.

38:04Ben Mandelker: This was amazing. The Secret is like the biggest thing. like everyone talks about the secret the secret the secret the secret and i just assume it just was still like one of those things that just with us it's out there and he says first of all he's like i stumbled upon this book called the secret which i'm like you stumble he's literally acting like he just like he was indiana jonesing it and he went into like a cavern and he picked up the book and a boulder came chasing him out of there he's like i found this crazy book and she's like i've never heard of it i was like what like that's when i felt old that this that's like well within this commercial break this segment and this zeitgeisty new age thing to them is like

38:44Ronnie Karam: this they don't even know it's like an old text it's like b b 2023 i mean it's like it's like old it's like methuselah shit it's like when you find out what people were doing in 1921

38:57Ben Mandelker: to like improve their bodies they're like well we must go to the shore because the sea air the salt that will protect your lungs.

39:04Ronnie Karam: That's actually why I did that water fast for 43 days because I read about it in a book from like 1920. Well, I saw it on YouTube and then I looked up books about it and I read a book from like 1920 about how the water fast heals everything. And I did it for 43 days. Guess what was healed? Nothing, okay? Certainly not my eating disorder. That's for sure. The secret, let's see, secret publish date. Let's see when this was. 2006 yeah i was gonna say 20 years ago that's crazy so he's like yeah the secret and listen this is coming from someone who shouldn't even be here right now i mean not only did i grow up gay but i grew up in a town with so many car crashes

39:50it's a miracle i survived that intersection he's like okay so it's this book that tells you about

39:56Ronnie Karam: how your thoughts create your reality and that book basically like opens the door to how our life is like merely a projection of stepping stones to always being at the highest timeline your brain is like recording this information like there's such a magical abundant neuroscience quantum physics epigenetics biocentrism peach is the language of your subconscious mind and

40:13Ben Mandelker: what physical reality even is okay and it keeps it keeps cutting to her and her mind is blown she's like oh oh oh i'm like girl the secret okay that's nice and everything here's what the secret it is um i really hope my postmates comes five minutes earlier get here earlier get here earlier

40:33Ronnie Karam: get here earlier uh no that's the secret the secret is saying i deserve my postmates to get here early and i know it's going to come early because that's just how it is that's like you accept it like it's fact and then boom you manifested it gets there a little early right even if it didn't even if it gets there five minutes late you're like well it could have been 15 minutes late yeah secreted that shit but the point is that all this talk about you know

41:00Ben Mandelker: abundant neuroscience and quantum physics and epigenetics and biocentricism it's really just used for like little everyday tasks like peach is the language of your subconscious mind they're all

41:13Ronnie Karam: peach is the way that you're really going to make money in this town now open it up and get to work

41:18Ben Mandelker: there will be chicken thighs at the supermarket tonight there will be chicken thighs Nailed that one. Thank God for epigenetics. So she's loving it. She's like, I love

41:31Ronnie Karam: bicentrism. I have a really open mind. Yeah.

41:37Ben Mandelker: Commercials. Here comes one right now.

41:44Ben Mandelker: It's like, okay, so let's talk about relationships. Okay, she's like, all right. Well, I got out of a relationship in October. That was when I I was arrested for singing Rihanna too loudly on the highway and he just couldn't be with me after that. So it's just been like, you know, eight months and, you know, it's been a while, you know, I've dated women, I've dated men, I've just dated everything really.

42:03Ronnie Karam: He's like, you're bisexual.

42:07Ben Mandelker: Yes. You can call it that. I guess.

42:12Ronnie Karam: She's like, okay, let me sum up my dating. Oh, sorry, Ben, go ahead.

42:15Ben Mandelker: I was going to say, I'm like, rye sexual as in Rihanna. And I call it, is that a stretch? Can I do that? No.

42:22Ronnie Karam: I like to think of myself as a bicentrist. So let me tell you my dating history. So I dated a girl for four years when I was in high school. Then we broke up. Then I started dating only men. Like usually girls date men and then they get traumatized and start dating women. But I did the opposite. I'm such a romantic. I love falling in love. Even though it hurts like a bitch when it doesn't work. I love it. I love love. Wait.

42:44Ben Mandelker: So you're telling me that you, before you turned 22, you dated a girl for a period of time. and then went to dating guys for the rest of your life. I've never heard of that before.

42:55Ronnie Karam: That is crazy.

42:57Ben Mandelker: That's crazy. Girls never do that.

42:59Ronnie Karam: A dip in the lady pond. So then they're back on the couch and Venus is like, oh my God, the power of believe is enough alone to get you what you want. Just believe. And a little delusion too.

43:13Ben Mandelker: Am I right?

43:15Ronnie Karam: He's like, yeah, delusion got me everything. I mean, the only person that can make something happen

43:19Ben Mandelker: is you bitch i love this manifestation oh my god thank you so much i feel like i've just manifested something oh my god what have i manifested was oh my god is it that look there's flowers in the charcuterie i manifested that you really do know what you're doing um so it's like do you like this

44:05Ronnie Karam: good manifestation really want to invite everyone to my party and he's like i love that i love this I love it. I just cannot stop concentrating on the charcuterie. It's making me crazy. Why are you spending money on that? Get some white rain and steal some food from work. That's what all my charcuteries were when I was waiting tables. I was like, hey, everybody, here's some half-eaten chicken and some focaccia bread and some loose green tea I stole on the way out of work.

44:35Ben Mandelker: Loose green tea. so audrey goes i'm so excited for the party but like i'm also like everyone hates me right now i'm like are you in any storylines i don't think so but i like i love when someone does that just to insert themselves in the drama oh my god like people are so angry at me right now like the number of feuds i'm in it's crazy they're like who are you again i know i'm wondering i'm wondering

44:58Ronnie Karam: if they were shooting a long time before they actually started keeping footage because everybody does seem kind of comfortable in front of the cameras and they do have stuff kind of already going on amongst themselves so I'm wondering if they were just like alright well we'll just try this and just keep shooting until something happens right so Venus is like

45:16Ben Mandelker: well either way we're gonna have a good ass fucking time and I don't give a fuck about anyone else

45:23Ronnie Karam: spoken like a true manifester that's how you get everything and she's like have you talked to Marcus since yesterday after the staff meeting after he got kicked out he's like yeah he texted me and he was like i'm sad and i'm scared lol yeah but at the end of the day you get nothing for nothing and that's all you can say for the life of the me's and he has an actual issue with drinking and he does it at work all the fucking time so this is like a great time for him to like be held accountable and i do love marcus but if they were to actually like look at all the cameras and look back he would be fucking fired and that's it oh my god why do i have hair all over my couch stop flicking your fucking hair i know god i'll meet him just to give him some bands it's the moldavite speaking it's not me

46:11Ben Mandelker: so now sir is taking i mean lisa's at sir taking photos with fans and natalie and audrey and kim and demi are working and we go over to third base where chris and jason it's guys night they're going to have a guys party eyebrows are are gathering at a at a sofa and then shane david

46:29Ronnie Karam: it's nice to see the hot cousins make it to third base

46:35Ben Mandelker: shane davis is here and then marcus shows up marcus is like i'm not a friendly guy so when chris and jason first got to sura they found the way to soften me up which is to compliment me they're like look at this handsome motherfucker and i was like all right you got a friend

46:52Ronnie Karam: and you know they all love him too because he's always trying to do crazy shit man me and him vibe over that because we're like shots like both of us like love shots like when we go places we're like shot shots you're crazy no you're fucking crazy you handsome motherfucker no you're crazy get your dick in my mouth no nuts it is nuts so they're doing shots and chris is like i can hang

47:19Ben Mandelker: with anybody and I feel like Marcus is probably the only one that can hang with me. It's hard. It's hard to hang with someone who could possibly be in a live action version of Tangled someday.

47:29Ronnie Karam: He's like, we stopped and done proper shots. Bro, are you suspended, Marcus? Are you suspended, bro? Are you suspended, bro? Tell daddy the truth. You suspended? Tell Shane Davis the truth.

47:43Ben Mandelker: He's like, yeah, I got to meet with Lisa on Tuesday. And then Venus joins and they're like, oh my God, Venus you look so fab like you're making us look bad looking fresh over here venus is like huh i dress like this just to go down to the store yeah i dress up when i'm at home when i'm out of the streets when i'm at the club when i'm at the laundromat the only time i don't dress up is when i file my taxes because the patriarchy doesn't deserve me at my best okay it's like a

48:10Ronnie Karam: pink suit from the 70s it's so funny um so you don't pay your taxes like who are we kidding So back at the table, they order some drinks. And Shane Davis gets a mojito mocktail, you guys, because I'm sober. But guess what? Guess what I'm not off of? Pusei. Shane Davis, baby.

48:34Ben Mandelker: Yeah, man. So Venus is talking about the drinking. Because they're asking, like, hey, how are you and Kim? Which I guarantee no one cares about that. But a producer was like, one of you guys has to ask Marcus about Kim. So Venus is like If both of them are drinking They're two completely different people It's like before Moldavite After Moldavite Marcus is like Yeah I'll be like an average bastard And do like average shit But then when she gets to her point It's like Crazy lady

49:06Ronnie Karam: Yeah there's no stopping Kim And they're like well wait But how long have you guys been talking to each other Yeah well we've been like officially together for 10 months coming up soon. Like, it's big. Like, that's a lot longer than it would have been before 2023.

49:23Ben Mandelker: Oh, damn. It's like, yeah, Kimberly has a huge heart. I love how much she loves her family, how mean she is to other guys. She's just an East Coast motherfucker who says what's on her mind. But when me and Kimberly fight, I would say that, like, she's a lot like a werewolf. You know, when the sun goes down and the moon comes out, she turns into the Michael Jackson video. You know, thriller. Ever heard of thriller? It's crazy, crazy. God, that Kimberly. She's a wild woman.

49:51Ronnie Karam: So they're like, are the girls having a girls night? And Marcus is like, huh, they're working. They're like, yeah, bro. We're bros. Am I at work? Yeah, third base.

50:01Ben Mandelker: You got Shane Davis.

50:03Ronnie Karam: So back at Cirque, Kim's on the patio. And she's cold, guys. And she can't believe that they still have to wear these dresses in the winter. And Audrey's like, I know. My nipple piercings are like frozen into my nipples right now. They're like never going to come out.

50:17Ben Mandelker: It's 67 degrees out, by the way. So Kim is like, oh, my God, the way that you're pressing yourself against the heater. That's what I do all the time. Because Kim is still working hard on trying to not sound totally scripted all the time. So I was like, I'm not going to be able to take them out later. Ha ha ha ha. So now Demi's talking to Guillermo. She's having an issue with Natalie. Even though they seem to have last episode, they seem to be besties. and she was visiting Natalie at the recording studio. Now they're having an issue again pertaining to Paolo, the elusive Paolo, who was not at the Monday night event.

50:50Ben Mandelker: But the issue is, in case you forgot, that Natalie freaked out on her off night and was yelling at Paolo in the middle of the restaurant.

51:00Ronnie Karam: And to me is the assistant manager, so she has to make her sign HR forms. Holy rollers, boys, would it be boys? So she's like, okay, well, Natalie basically got kicked out of Sur the other night by Guillermo because she was wasted at the bar standing across from Paolo, her ex-boyfriend. She was making a huge scene, etc. So I have to write them up. And in this case, she deserves it. So I'm actually looking forward to it.

51:30Ben Mandelker: So we go back to third bits and Marcus is like, hey, I got a question for you guys. What was like your coming in and meeting everybody? be totally honest tell us you're the new you're the eyebrow twins or cousins i should say what did you think about everyone and jason's like um well you were the first one that said what's up to me and i was like what a handsome guy he is the best i love that guy god god he's so handsome and wonderful and then i was like yeah that kid's cool as fuck and then you looked me in the fucking eyes and i was like okay i'll blow him they always said this is what you got to do in hollywood and

I love the way he would just, you know, trim our, trim our, our hedges and mow our lawn just for free. God, what a sweet kid.

52:41Ronnie Karam: I got so many A's on my report card. People were like, that guy is an asshole. Am I right?

52:49Ben Mandelker: I got, I was in 50 fights, but by the time I was 13 and by fights, I mean hugs. Ah, so many hugs. Everyone just loved hugging me. It's like a fight just to get out of those arms.

52:59Ronnie Karam: And Venus is like, well, I always make eye contact because I like feel like the eyes are like the windows to the soul. So if I want to know who you are, bitch, I'm going to look you in the face.

53:11Ben Mandelker: I love that Venus acts like eyes are the window to the soul. He came up with that. He's like, I really feel like eyes are the windows to the soul. Yeah, trademarked. Did that.

53:27Ronnie Karam: So Jason's like, wait, are you bi or gay? And he's like, 100 % gay. I could never eat a Poussey say. Never. Won't touch it. Disgusting. Shane's just cracking up in the corner.

53:42Ben Mandelker: Woohoo. That's funny, guys.

53:44Ronnie Karam: Yeah, he's never even kissed a girl, guys. Seriously? A gay man? Okay, tell me. As a gay man, when you think of vagina, is it like, ew? Is that what you're thinking? He's like, um, I think of like a vagina.

53:55Ben Mandelker: It's like, you know, an alien versus predator. And it's like, that's like, it's just like

54:03Ronnie Karam: you know it's like that oh gosh so jay i just you know what why can't you just say thank you thank you exit you know what i mean just be appreciative you know it all came out of one you know well i mean i guess there's the there's the circ not circumcision what do you call it when they cut it out of you um cesarean. I was going to say

54:28Ben Mandelker: circumcision. I was going to say, look, when I get off a plane, I don't stop and give a moment of thanks to the jetway. I'm just, I'm going forward. So Jason is like, he's like, oh my God, that's what I was thinking. Oh my God, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. So then Marcus is like, yeah, so what about you guys? Chris is like, well, I'm not going to lie. Audrey's cool as fuck, but I'm 31, man. I don't know if I can be dating someone who's younger than me because I'm at a ripe old age. I'm at the time where I'm no longer suitable to be playing the guy from Tangled. It's time I'm playing one of the burglars from 101 Dalmatians.

55:05Ronnie Karam: I'm growing up, man. That's what I'm trying to say. It's true, though. I mean, I know to us, it's like, wow, 31, you're still a baby. But 31 in LA is like, okay, well, have fun in retirement.

55:20Ronnie Karam: It's a time where you're like, okay, well, I guess I'm going home. So, uh, this is pretty much done. Hope my parents haven't turned my room into a personal gym. That would suck.

55:30Ben Mandelker: Hey guys, Shane Davis talking here. I hung out with Audrey last night and she feels a lot more mature than 21.

55:40Ronnie Karam: Spoken like every aging guy that dates a 20 year old in LA, but she's so mature. She is so mature. You guys, she got arrested for blasting Rihanna. I mean Maturity incarnate So Chris is like yeah I was gonna say I think she's more mature than most of the girls Am I right? And Chris says yeah the last girl I dated We were talking for like three weeks Like maybe a month Well I don't know a month-ish I'll say And she would like love me Yeah and she loved me on the third week And she like keeps making out with like a dude Right in front of me at the same bar we were at And like Audrey does not strike me As a typical LA girl because she's like spicy, but she's also innocent and sweet.

56:22Ronnie Karam: And that's so hard to find out here in L.A. You know what I want? I just want an innocent, sweet, young person who wants to date an old man. I mean, that's it.

56:31Ben Mandelker: Yeah, I really like Audrey. She's not like all those other L.A. girls. She's, you know, fit and blonde and believes in things like manifestation and doesn't know a lot of things. She's a real unicorn.

56:45Ronnie Karam: uh so then uh venus is like yeah well when she came over the other night she's like my birthday is tuesday and everyone's invited so i'm like all right let's fucking go i'm ready thanks for thanks for sharing that that unique emotional experience you had when

57:03Ben Mandelker: she said you want to come to my birthday party and you said sure everything he says is like

57:07Ronnie Karam: telling somebody off he's like oh yeah well let me tell you something she came up to me and she was like, you want to come to my birthday? And I was like, fuck yeah.

57:18Ben Mandelker: Cheers to boys, night boys. And they do shots. And our eagle-eyed note taker noticed that they were taking a swig out of an 818 tequila bottle.

57:29Ronnie Karam: Yeah. Oh, shit. So then we go back to Sir and Demi finally finds Natalie and she's like, where have you been? Hi, what? You've been gone for like an hour. I've not been gone for an hour. What? What? You've been gone for a long time. No, I haven't. You've been gone for a long time. But I haven't, though. You've been gone for almost as long as 20 years. Nuh-uh. You've been gone. I told Serge I was going. There were no tickets, so I went.

57:53Ben Mandelker: There's no unnamed Serge who works here. Yes, there is.

57:56Ronnie Karam: That's a lie. No, uh-uh. You've been gone for an hour.

57:59Ben Mandelker: Now, you've been gone for an hour and a half. I can't believe you've been gone. Three hours you've been gone.

58:03Ronnie Karam: Nuh-uh. I've not been gone for three hours. No, I'm not. No. You need to sign this. No, I'm not going to You know what, I don't want you telling me So, you know what

58:13Ben Mandelker: No, I'm super confused

58:15Ronnie Karam: Like, you know what, if you want me to sign it Then Guillermo can have me sign it Because I'm not going to sign it for you

58:23Ben Mandelker: Even though Demi is her manager Natalie's like, I'm super confused Demi is on my ass And Kim won't even make eye contact with me Oh my god Like, excuse me Demi Like, don't tell me I've been gone for an hour When I've not been gone for an hour Yeah, you have. So, like, can you sign this, please?

58:40Ronnie Karam: And by the way, the chyron just said that you've been gone for 27 minutes, which is basically an hour. Because if you're 27 minutes late, you're an hour early. I forgot the saying. But whatever. You know what I mean? You were gone 12 hours.

58:54Ben Mandelker: In for a dollar, out for a pound? Is that where you're trying? Or in for a bush and out for a partridge? What is it? Like, you guys are acting like I fucked your dad. But really, I'm not going to be your stepmom. Like, I'm just your coworker. Guys.

59:11Ronnie Karam: So Demi's like Guillermo she wants you to be the one to give it to her She won't take it from me She's like yeah cause I just want to communicate with you Because she's like yelling at me And I'm not okay with that

59:21Ben Mandelker: I'm not yelling okay Yeah you are

59:25Ronnie Karam: You're yelling right now

59:26Ben Mandelker: I'm just like showing that I have absolute disdain for you And I think you're disgusting

59:30Ronnie Karam: And Guillermo's like well you understand She's the manager so she kind of has to do this Yeah of course I understand

59:36Ben Mandelker: I mean fine

59:38Ronnie Karam: Yeah, yeah, I get it.

59:41Ben Mandelker: It just feels like my little family has a bond on me. Okay, me, Kim and Demi, we had a routine. Okay, after work, we're always doing something, whether it was like going home and like drinking wine or like going to TomTom or like parading around WeHo. Like everything was fine until I got suspended. And now like my little family is just like broken up.

1:00:00Ronnie Karam: Lisa's very smart how she opens all those restaurants right next to each other. So the people off shift from the other go pour money that they made from that one into the other one. It was very smart. Yeah.

1:00:11Ben Mandelker: I heard TomTom is pretty empty these days, which is very sad to hear.

1:00:15Ronnie Karam: Yeah, I told you. I went there a couple months ago just because I was in the neighborhood and had to meet somebody. So I was like, oh, let's go to TomTom. I haven't been there. It was crazy. It was very like, I was like, is everybody in here from Jersey? Like at 10, some people came, but I was like, who are these people? What's happened to this neighborhood? Are these people even, Who are they? I don't know where they came from. It's like they were bussed in from someplace else. Oh, sad. And they've added a lot of the Philips Hue lights everywhere. TomTom didn't used to have that, right? Where it was like green.

1:00:48Ronnie Karam: It's like, ooh, now the lighting is all green and red. It's weird. I didn't get it.

1:00:53Ben Mandelker: Yeah, that's weird. So now Natalie signs her papers because Guillermo's there. And then she walks away. She's like, I can't fucking do this. I'm literally about to blow up. I'm about to blow up. And Demi's like, Natalie, I went to you and I said, You were gone for an hour because you were, I was not gone for an hour. Okay. But like, please do your report and clock clock. You got to clock out. Okay. I'd be happy to get out of here. I don't want this anymore. I'm gone. I was gone for an hour anyway.

1:01:22Ronnie Karam: So now Natalie and Audrey are taking a walk to the Hollywood sign with her dogs. And Natalie's like, oh my God, this is what I used to dream of doing when I moved here one day. Look, here we are. It's the Hollywood sign.

1:01:35Ben Mandelker: oh now we like our we're like totally like living our dreams right now right

1:01:42Ben Mandelker: this show's so cute i can't

1:01:46Ronnie Karam: we go over to chris's apartment oh it's so cute and then going to that dog park and be like oh my god you can see the hollywood sign and i just stepped in shit this is great this is we're living

1:01:56Ben Mandelker: the dream we're living the dream because we're like in the presence of the hollywood sign so So Chris is, he's FaceTimed his dad, Paul. So Chris is like, hey, what's going on with you? How was your trip? And Paul's like, it was nice. You know, I had weather of all extremes. I had 85 on Sunday. I had rain on Monday. See all these years where your dad watches the weather channel pays off for me. Right, right.

1:02:19Ronnie Karam: I watch the weather channel so much. I can understand that weather changes now. Isn't that crazy? He's like, yeah, dad, you definitely sound like a meteorologist.

1:02:30Ben Mandelker: I'm really close with my dad I call him like everyday Like growing up as a New Jersey Italian I'm a very family oriented person I have like 100 cousins And obviously my cousin Jason There's like 6 Tonys and 4 Anthonys and 3 Dinos And everybody's like Hey how you doing cuz? Cuz? Cuzzo? How you doing? Cuzzo? Cuzzo? Hey you know if they want to do a reboot of The Sopranos I'm your guy right? You need a tangled guy in The Sopranos right?

1:02:53Ronnie Karam: You know what they say in Jersey It's not gay if it's your cousin so paul's like so how's the goal one do you remember how to make more than six drinks and do you want to stand when it's raining outside he's like yeah dad yeah most of the cocktails are like tailored around drinks i've made before like you know vodka with stuff in it or like i don't know like vodka with stuff in it so it's just kind of muscle memory yeah you know like the poor stuff so that's cool but lisa thinks i'm doing a great job because we had a staff meeting and some people got in trouble, but she just said, wow. And then she touched my eyebrows and said, are those real?

1:03:29Ronnie Karam: It was cool. It was pretty cool. I basically made it. Yeah.

1:03:33Ben Mandelker: And by the way, Jason actually got in trouble a bit. So then we see that Jason did get in trouble because he says like, then you are not training under the guidance of Marcus to get shut off face every night. Do we understand each other, Mr. Little Eyebrows?

1:03:49Ronnie Karam: Well, you know, that's Jason's middle name. It's trouble. Everything else go to what? Have you been surfing at all? I hope you've been surfing

1:03:58Ben Mandelker: Yeah, Dad I've been surfing a decent amount I actually bought two new boards So I spent a little bit of money But I needed them

1:04:04Ronnie Karam: Yeah, well, you'll figure out What, you know, you really like to do in your life You know, no matter what it costs You treat yourself New golf clubs New surfboards Do whatever you enjoy Spend your money on hobbies Life is too short One minute it's sunny The next minute it's raining Sometimes it snows What can you do?

1:04:24Ben Mandelker: Oh, my God. You really are a weatherman. You know, my dad never really wanted me to move to California. He's like, it's always the same weather. What's even the point? But he knew it would make me happy. So that made him happy. And I think that if I still lived in Jersey, I'd probably just have a 9 to 5. I'd probably have a girlfriend. I'd probably have kids. I'd probably be actually a very happy person with a stable income and experiencing different types of weathers. But I know what it's like to be a big actor. I want to know. I want to know. I really want a model. I want a model for John Barbados.

1:04:54Ben Mandelker: I'm wearing John Barbados right now. Chasing that life would be everything that I want. I'd rather do that than bail and settle in Jersey. Every episode.

1:05:02Ronnie Karam: John Barbados. Isn't John Barbados a hair thing? No,

1:05:06Ben Mandelker: John Barbados is, is passion.

1:05:08Ronnie Karam: I just looked it up. It's very glittery and furry. I just love that. It was men, Templeton leopard effect, faux fur top coat. All right. You go girl.

1:05:17Ben Mandelker: I just love that. This guy comes on to every episode and pitches himself for a new role last week it was like i could be in live action tangled hey john barbados call me i'm i'm i don't know about you guys but i think quiznos is coming back and they're gonna need someone in

1:05:31Ronnie Karam: their commercials so give me a call yeah he's like i'd rather do that and fail than just settle in jersey without even trying which god bless you listen as long as your ankles are behind your head i believe in you okay only fans keep it up so paul's like are you seeing anybody i am Rain No dad Well I did go on some few dates in the past month But you know how picky I am He's like I know you One of their toes could be longer than the other toes And you're dumping them God you find the stupidest things to get mad about God

1:06:02Ben Mandelker: I know I'm into weather But I didn't realize that would cause me to have a fair weather sun See what I did there son He's like I don't get it dad But yeah I mean I'm older now I don't look at that stuff as much Toes That's for the 29 year old me Though me, that was from 2023. It's mainly just about our vibe, our personality, our chemistry. Personality is big, though, because you know what? Obviously, we all grow old, and we're all going to be ugly one day. For me, it'll be about 30 years from now. So I think the personality is the number one thing that I look for. Of course, after the big tits.

1:06:34Ronnie Karam: But still, I look for it. Oh, yeah, you're all personality. Can't wait to see who you date for their personality next.

1:06:39Ben Mandelker: I'm sure. Yep, we'll keep an eye out for that.
