0:21Ronnie Karam: Well, hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens. I'm Ronnie and that's Ben over there. Hello, Ben. Hi, Ronnie. How are you? Good. What's going on with you?

0:56Ronnie Karam: Go to patreon.com slash watch whatcroppings for all of that good stuff. And today is the season finale of Vanderpoop Truths. Season 12, episode 12. Called Pride and Joy.

1:12Ben Mandelker: That's right. Good classic Vanderpump Rules pride episode. Full of all the petty squabbles you could ever want. And it starts with a brunch shift at Sur. And we see Chris walking in into the bathroom and everything. And he's like, oh, time to suck today's dick. Which, I mean, what a great way to start off the episode.

1:35Ronnie Karam: And pretty believably, too. Yeah. Like, I bought it. I bought it. I love a for rent boy as the new cast, the new casting structure on this show. I love it. I will say I didn't think this was a very classic Vanderpump Rules Pride episode. it was like kind of a how far we've fallen pride episode i mean there was nobody there i think there were 10 people there they kept like grouping everybody in the restaurant together to try and make it look like a lot of people and then you would see in the background that nobody was there and then all the decorations were like party city gay pride cardboard cutout things i mean they even had one with words that spelled like wow gay pride motherfuckers or something like you know of those things that say happy birthday that you string up for like the least effort for somebody's

2:23Ben Mandelker: birthday it was sad yeah it's i mean the scene at sir is sad these days i mean yes the nightlife in west hollywood is you know not as strong as it used to be but also like sir is specifically just sadder you know and if you think about it when the original vanderpump rules when it premiered sir was probably popping because lisa vanderpump was a very popular cast member on a very popular show. But now Lisa Vanderpump, I don't know if like, if the appeal is there anymore on the same level that it used to be, it's been a while now. So I don't think it's like, oh, all the Vanderpump Villa fans are coming to Sur to see Lisa in person anymore.

3:03Ben Mandelker: And, you know, like, I think, you know, Vanderpump Rules sort of snowballed in terms of, in terms of popularity, you know, people would come to Sur to see the people from Vanderpump Rules. But I think they initially who were coming for Lisa. But now what are they coming for? So it's like, it's a sad situation over there.

3:21Ronnie Karam: Yeah. And so everybody's working. Venus and Marcus are chatting. And Venus is like, you want to see some of the shit I ordered for Pride? You gotta look at this shit. So he's showing them on his phone. He's like, I've got pool party stuff going. Gay Pride stuff. I mean, I just ordered like rubber duckies. Big on rubber duckies. Why? I don't get it. I don't get the rubber ducky thing at all. What is the rubber ducky thing? It's so weird. It's like child bathtub, child in a bathtub. It's just like hot bathtub.

3:49Ben Mandelker: It's kind of giving like Katy Perry vibes. Like it's something that Katy Perry would do. Like it's pride. Let's put up some rubber duckies.

3:56Ronnie Karam: Yeah. And it's really like straight people doing gay pride type stuff, which, you know, like, yeah, allies, that's great and everything. And it's always kind of been that way at Sir, you know, but I would expect the cardboard cut out shitty party city decorations and just you know the cheapness of it all from the straight people but like you're a gay and you're put in charge and it's worse I think it's the worst one we've had what the hell's going on so he's like well I'm a freak when it comes to throwing parties I did throw a Halloween party last year and it had a red carpet but I've never helped organize it Halloween with a red carpet but I've never helped organize an event this large I mean, the pressure is hot.

4:37Ronnie Karam: It needs to be Gaga gay, Madonna gay, Cher gay, Dolly Parton gay. But we also need something for the lesbians.

4:48Ben Mandelker: Also something for the lesbians, which, by the way, I don't think I saw anything for the lesbians in this. I guess unless you talk about the waitresses in their bikinis.

4:57Ronnie Karam: Yeah. Well, those were, yeah, I mean, those bikinis are terrible. But who makes the bikinis again? Is it Kim who makes the bikinis? No, Angelina. Angelica. Angelica. Yeah. So he's like, okay, what's your face? You need to make four or five cocktails, okay? They need to be colorful. And she's like, okay, I'll show you one. It's Natalie he's talking to. So they're making drinks for the gay list. And Kim, we're here, Kim chatting with her table. And she's like, okay, did you guys have a sweet tooth? because I would say the chicken sandwich is really good. Why is the chicken sandwich sweet?

5:37Ben Mandelker: How does a chicken sandwich recommendation come on the heels of asking if someone has a sweet tooth? How does that work? This is the problem with sir. This is why attendance is low because people come in asking for dessert and they get a chicken sandwich instead.

5:54Ronnie Karam: So Demi brings some drinks out and she's like, English Rose Garden, here you go. doesn't that sound delicious no one wants to drink an english rose garden either they need

6:04Ben Mandelker: help over there they really do so then chris is talking to natalie and he's like hey i got your song stuck in my head oh my god yeah that was perfect except it goes like this passengers yeah it's like really catchy yeah are you so excited about our performance yeah dude we're gonna like kill that shit yeah i definitely feel like we are we're gonna like kill it like it's gonna be a big big thing because like being in the studio and singing in a booth is like totally different ball game okay then singing in front of a live audience okay because like when you're singing in front of like 12 people in a studio it's a lot scarier to then sing in front of about

6:42Ronnie Karam: 25 people in a restaurant yeah so then marcus gives him a kiss and they're and demi's like not on the floor not on the floor not on the floor oh yeah you're such a mini lisa you were It's like so-to-many Lisa. You guys, what pink drink should we use? Like Pumptini for like penis Pumptini? We'll garnish it with like different, you know, we'll garnish it differently. Maybe with penises because it's pride.

7:08Ben Mandelker: Yeah, with penises. Yeah, exactly. And Marcus is like, well, what's that? Because she has, I think this is when she has her blue drink. And Natalie's like, this is my pride drink. It's blow. It's like, but what's the name of it? How about Aquamarine? It just like came to me. Oh, my God. Oh wait no that was Kim who said that. Wait Kim you do it. How about Aquamarine? It just came to me. Yay gay pride. Kim's contribution. And they're like uh that's not gay Kim.

7:35Ronnie Karam: Pretty gay.

7:37Ben Mandelker: Guys that's so gay. Kim came up with like the gayest name ever for a cocktail. Why are you taking away from Kim? It's so gay. Kim I'm totally on your side. We're sisters again okay. I love your gay suggestions.

7:50Ronnie Karam: Marcus is like yeah it's not gay enough. Marcus says, my true belief is that there's no one in the world that's just 100 % totally straight. I mean, except for Kimberly. Like for me personally, I'm like at least 10 % gay. And at the end of the day, you get penis for penis. And this drink needs to scream cock and balls. It needs to.

8:10Ben Mandelker: I like that he had to clarify that Kimberly is 100 % straight. I guess maybe there was an issue with that or something. Like Kim's a lesbian. He's like, no, she's straight, man. She's straight. But yeah, he's saying he's got like a little gay in him or enough gay in him that he can name a cocktail. So he's like, yeah, what about Blue Balls? That's a good one, Blue Balls. Demi's like, oh my God, I actually like that. Look, can you see by the smile on my face how happy I am? I'm so happy. I'm so happy. Demi, you're frowning. It's my happy frown.

8:41Ronnie Karam: It's my Blue Balls frown. Why is Blue Balls gay? Just because it says balls? I think so. I don't think. I don't think gay guys have this. I think it's blue balls of straight guys. I'll tell you that.

8:53Ben Mandelker: Yeah. I think it needs to have a pop culture name. Like I just got, just call it like Gaga, like the Gaga call it the, the blue ker face or born this blue or, um, you know, I don't know. Blue romance. Like that's all, which is an actual name of a song, but like, you just have to just make it a Gaga pun and we'll all be like, yes, queen. Yes. Bride

9:23Ronnie Karam: I'm more of an Adele gay I'd be like just call it Somebody Broke Up With Me

9:29Ben Mandelker: Well if they were smart

9:30Ronnie Karam: They could have called it True Blue Which is a Madonna song Why am I so lonely all the time I have no catchy drink names They're just like Adele themed I'm exhausted and I don't know why

9:44Ben Mandelker: Set fire to the rain Hello Hello Hello Hello Hello from the other cocktail

Do you want red or white for wine? Look, it's amazing So they get wines and everything She's only five minutes from work, which is good I'm expensive

11:30Ronnie Karam: What is she? What is your job? So Demi's like Well, you can put your coffee down, Kimberly Because Kimberly's double fisting With coffee and red wine She's like, what? I'm totally straight What? So Kim's like, you're gonna pry my coffee from my cold dead hands. I'm Kim and I love coffee. It's my thing.

11:51Ben Mandelker: It's totally like my personality that I've decided to have in the final episode. So Angelica's like, I no longer have to share closets with a man. So I have two closets to myself. I love it. And they're like, oh my God, so nice. It's so nice. It's so nice. Oh my God. It's like so nice. It's like so nice. So they're complimenting her. And then Angelica's like, guys, the comedy routine last night, I just felt like it was like a personal attack at the end. Like, to be honest, because there was like a lot of like personal things that I went through and she like turned it into a joke. And like, I just, I didn't want to leave, but like, I have to have a boundary.

12:23Ben Mandelker: And if you're going to like say those things, if you're going to like publicly humiliate me, then I don't want to, I don't want to stick around.

12:30Ronnie Karam: Hi, you're on Vanderpump Rules. By the way, it was a personal attack. Yeah, it was a personal attack. But you're also on Vanderpump Rules and you're being, you've been publicly humiliated for 12 episodes. But she's like, yeah, everybody's saying these are like the same jokes we make among each other. But like what she said about me was like deeply rooted in insecurity. And she knew it. And I'm, you know, I'm walking out the door and she still didn't get enough. And she's right. You know, Audrey was damn wrong for that. And it's crazy how nobody really stands up for her in this.

13:03Ben Mandelker: It is wild. I mean, Audrey was being mean. There were no punchlines there. She was just airing out dirty laundry in front of strangers. and it was obnoxious and yes, I think someone should have defended Angelica.

13:18Ronnie Karam: Yeah, and Demi's like well, at least she says stuff about you. She didn't say anything about me. That's like rude. She goes, you know what? And then Shane called me this morning though and I was really surprised because he ran after me. I was like, he didn't run after me. He ran after your boobs. Yeah. Admittedly. I mean, even Shane's like, it's going to be hard to resist those titties, sawboy.

13:38Ben Mandelker: Yeah, and they were like, yeah, that was crazy because wasn't he there on a date? Like, yeah, he was, he like definitely left the date. So that meant that you got a very good boob job. So Angelica is like, yeah, he just asked if I was okay. It was like really sweet. And Kim's like, so what's the answer? Like, are you going to say yes? She's like, well, I said I'm talking to someone new. So they're like, okay, good for you. Good for you for not falling back into Shane's evil ways. To me, it's like, oh my God, but you picked him

14:05Ronnie Karam: up from LAX. Like, do you love the new guy or what? Because like, that's crazy. That's a big deal. I mean, anybody who lives in LA knows that going to LAX is a nightmare. Like, if I do that for a guy, like, that means we're getting married.

14:17Ben Mandelker: She goes, yeah, I wouldn't do it just for anyone. Like, I would do it for you, too, but, like, I wouldn't do it for Audrey. Huh?

14:25Ronnie Karam: Well, did he test out your new boobs? She goes, no, I told him not to touch them because, you know, they're so stiff right now, you guys. Like, yep, fresh out the shop. So then we go to Chris and Jason's apartment in Marina. and Chris is preparing some food and it is definitely workout guy food because it's like a little salad, you know, and it's one of those balsamic and cranberry and nut salad. So the salad is decent. But then it's like a boiled chicken breast.

14:53Ben Mandelker: Yeah. It's just, this reminds me of like the food I used to prepare for myself when I first moved to LA. I didn't know how to cook. So I would get a bag of salad, one of those salads and I would like make a little salad on the side and I would just take a chicken breast and put it in the Foreman grill. And I would just grill a chicken breast. Maybe I put like one of those pre-made marinades on it. And that was my meal. I would eat that every single night because I didn't know how to cook. And I'll tell you one thing, I was in the best shape of my life. I never looked better than when I was eating nothing but chicken breast and salad.

15:22Ronnie Karam: That's how it works. So yeah, learning to cook. Education is deadly, guys. Never educate yourself. Stay ignorant and thin. So Chris is like, wow, I cook for you. She's like, oh, my God, you made all this food? That's crazy. He's like, yeah. Like, I haven't really shown my romantic side to Audrey. So, yeah, I bought some chicken breast. And I want to show her, you know, I care about her. However, I want to be realistic. And, you know, I'm traveling a lot. I'm going to Jersey. I'm going to Europe. Going to bring some bad bitches in Bali. So, I just need to make sure we're on the same page.

16:01Ben Mandelker: He's like, I want to show her my romantic side and then tell her she can't have that side. but I don't want to get her hopes up too high. So I'm just going to make her chicken breasts.

16:09Ronnie Karam: Yeah. A week after I told her that I wanted a commitment and that I only want us and we are all I think about. So he was like, Hey, I didn't know what flowers to get you. So I just got you some flower flowers. These are called flowers. And she's like, okay. Yeah. I was like, let me just get what reminds me of you. So I wanted to get you flowers that you don't really have to water much because I'm not really around. I got you plastic flowers. I hope that's cool. Plastic flower flowers.

16:38Ben Mandelker: I got you the most romantic flowers of all, tulips. I don't know what the, I mean, we all like tulips, but I feel like tulips are not romantic flowers, right? Like it doesn't, you don't have to give someone roses. That's so on the nose. But I feel like a bouquet of tulips feels almost like platonic, right?

16:56Ronnie Karam: I don't know. I mean, aren't tulips like super temporary and they only bloom once in a while? Like they only bloom once a year or something? I thought there was like more orchids. Oh. No, because aren't there like, didn't we go to those tulip? Where were we that there were tulips? Everyone's like, oh, my God, it's tulip time. You're here for tulip time. It's crazy. They only grow. Oh, no. Once every 20 years. We're like, wow, my God, we're here for tulip time.

17:21Ben Mandelker: Was it because we watched The Real Housewives of Orange County and they went to Amsterdam and they went out to the tulip fields?

17:27Ronnie Karam: No, because we had already done that when we were on our European tour. One of the places we were in, maybe it was Switzerland. I don't know. One of the places we were in for our tour. Yeah, Sweden. Sorry. Oh, maybe it was. I think it was tulip time. So anyway, I don't know if that's romantic or not, but I'm not a very romantic person. I would have been fine with bread with my salad. I mean, if a guy who worked out gave me a salad, I would be like, gross. But then if he gave me bread, I would be like, this man wants to marry me.

17:56Ben Mandelker: Well, there is a very important Reddit thread that says, which flowers are platonic and which are romantic? So the top thing says, all flowers are emotional. You provide the emotions when you gift them. Okay, thanks a lot, face of a dead goat. Yeah. Thanks a lot, person with no standards. Yeah. Someone's, okay, no one has any good answers. Everyone is getting very academic. Someone's like, well, as far as historians can tell us, the Essex worship sunflowers and believe them to be. Everyone's showing off their flower knowledge in this thread without actually answering the question. So it makes me very upset.

18:30Ben Mandelker: Yeah. So I guess we can't get to the bottom. Well,

18:32Ronnie Karam: if someone wants to get me a romantic flower, might I suggest wheat? Cause that's the most romantic flower.

18:39Ben Mandelker: Oh, someone says tulips. Someone says tulips tend to be pretty romantic coded. Okay. I mean, I guess like flowers are Trader Joe's shit,

18:47Ronnie Karam: whatever it is. He walked into the Trader Joe's, whatever was on sale. He got it. I don't know.

18:53Ben Mandelker: For me personally, I love a tulip, but I just feel like they look a little bit more like friend vibes and they do romantic vibes. I don't know why. I can't say. They look like they're about to fall apart and die in two seconds. You have to see them at one time of the year.

19:06Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So Chris is like, yeah, I didn't know her favorite flower. The producer says, did you know that her favorite flower is tattooed on her arm? And he goes, yeah, yeah, I did know that. Okay, well, what is it? It's a tulip It's a rose It's a sunflower And then Audrey shows it She's like it's a stargazer lily You can buy it at Trader Joe's

19:35Ben Mandelker: But I like that he's like You know he got her tulips And the producer says do you know that her favorite flower Is tattooed on her arm He goes yeah it's a tulip He does not know that at all He just wants to make his choice seem like more thoughtful So the producer says just says to him, it's a lily. And he goes, what the fuck is a lily? I mean, Chris, come on now. Let's not be I mean, I know you're on OnlyFans. I know you're I know you're like, you're known for your looks over your over other things, but you gotta know what a lily is. Come on now.

20:07Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So they start talking about last night and he's like, yeah, you were savage but you did hold back on me though. She goes, yeah, I did hold back on you because I was like focusing on people that deserved like the roasting and typically I stand up for the men on this show and attack the women so anyways how are you feeling since like we talked at the bar and we see a flashback to him being like oh yeah um I just want you I want us you're all I think about yeah um and so he's like you know we we talked

20:40Ben Mandelker: about a lot and we didn't really like I don't know kind of get to where we like want to be because like I know how I think of it is and like you know it's been like two months and me personally I feel like we've been going fast because like we work together he's basically saying gobbledygook and he is the one again who at universal studios is like i'm all in i'm ready to marry you and have children with you and now he's like i just think that we're going too fast she goes yeah it does feel fast yeah well um we hang out a lot outside of work and we hang out with like the whole group and if you weren't so amazing i would have like been slower but like time flies with you so like i'm not even like trying to sound charming because i'm like being super charming right now aren't i And like everything, I just feel like if we keep doing what we're doing, communicating and having fun, I just want to do like more stuff.

21:22Ben Mandelker: And like when I have the time, you know, and like he just basically is sounding like A.I. slop. It's just like a whole bunch of like buzzwords and phrases that's actually saying nothing at all.

21:31Ronnie Karam: He's basically backing slowly into a bush like Homer Simpson, just like very slowly backing away. And she's like, um, so I don't really understand what your expectations are for the summer. He goes, I'm going to be hanging out with you until I leave. And I mean, we've got a whole month. But like, you know, when we're gone, I just, you know, I want to protect your feelings. And I want to protect my feelings, too, you know, because like maybe bad bitches in Bali will hurt my feelings, you know. And so like that's why I'm like boundaries, you know, boundaries get confusing.

22:03Ben Mandelker: So what is he talking about? He's literally making no sense. The moment he says, I want to protect your feelings is the moment he's saying, I want to bang other people. and I don't want you to get upset about it.

22:14Ronnie Karam: Yeah, that's what he's saying. He's saying it in a very long way. He goes, yeah, and you know, I don't know where your feelings are, but you know, mine are simple, you know, until like until you're my girlfriend, you know, which is when I would grill the chicken breast. And she's like, so wait, until I'm like your girlfriend, it's like open date. Is that what you're saying? He goes, well, I mean, like, I mean, I'd say it like that. I mean, it's not, we're not skating. It's not like everybody can skate now, But like being away from someone that long is a long time to me. And, you know, a lot can change in that time, you know.

22:47Ben Mandelker: She's like, yeah. Then he finally says what is really on his mind. He goes, I mean, God forbid I fucking meet a random girl that I end up liking. Why would she say that? And she's like, God forbid I wind up meeting a random girl that I wind up liking. Real great, great line there for someone that you're trying to break up with.

23:04Ronnie Karam: I mean, hypothetical, hypothetical, hypothetical. Like, I don't want there to be anyone randoms, but like, it's almost like if something happens, you know, it's just, what does he mean? I mean, I broke up with him because he's not committing to me and he told me he wants to commit to me and I took him back. And now you want to fuck other bitches? Like, what? What is happening?

23:21Ben Mandelker: Because I think I'm saying too much. I'm like, you somehow are saying too much and nothing at all at the same time. And she goes, well, what I think you're saying is you want to keep going how we're going. And if something were to come along, that you wouldn't be upset at me and I wouldn't be upset at you if something better came along. He's like, yeah, yeah, it's pretty simple Yeah, pretty much that, like, everything's fine here But we could probably both do better, right?

23:42Ronnie Karam: It's like, I feel like I'm in a psycho ward Like, I need grippy socks on my feet Okay, like, he just The male species never Ceases to amaze me So what do you think changed? I think it was the stand-up Um, I

23:57Ben Mandelker: Think that I think he started to realize You know, I am going on this trip And like why, why, like, this girl, why would I sacrifice banging bad bitches just for this girl who already dumped me?

24:17Ronnie Karam: But here's why I don't think it's that. Because, first of all, he knew already that he was going to Bali. He already knew all this. And also he's doing this on camera. I mean, this is the season finale. All he had to do was just go through a normal episode. It's not like he's dating her right now. Anyway, he didn't have to have this big date scene with her. He could have just gone through the gay pride party, been done with it, and then been like, well, you know, we grew apart when I was out of town and whatever and not had to deal with it. But to distance himself like that on camera is weird that he had to make like a big scene out of it.

24:49Ronnie Karam: Also, it's shitty that he made her drive all the way to Marina because, you know, anyone who lives in this town, no, that's like going to L.A. It's worse than going to LAX. It's further. So to make someone drive all the way to Marina Del Rey to dump them over a boiled chicken, I think it was a stand up. I think he was like, she's not nice. I don't, you know, it was nice to have her on our side when she was like arguing in our favor for the OnlyFans thing. But she's mean. And I don't want to be publicly associated with her.

25:17Ben Mandelker: Or it could be something much simpler.

25:18Ronnie Karam: I have my OnlyFans reputation to worry about.

25:20Ben Mandelker: Yeah. Or it could be something much simpler, which is like a really hot girl messaged him on IG and he's like, fuck. I want to go this direction instead.

25:27Ronnie Karam: dead you know yeah what if she comes to pride and then i'll get in trouble or something i don't know um so now marcus so she's like okay so we're together unless we meet other people and he's like yeah unless we meet other people okay great glad we had this talk uh do you want a ziploc to take that chicken home with because i got things to do i've got a life coming up i know i gotta go meet some people we'll hopefully replace you someday so uh marcus is go goes to dj's shop

25:57Ben Mandelker: with Shane, the International House of Music. And so Marcus is like, yeah, I'm here to get a mixing word and my full setup going, you know. I mean, to be honest, I think it's pretty super cool that Venus asked me to be a DJ at Pride, you know. And Shane's like, ha, so that's a big deal for sure, right, Pride? Ha, ha. He's like, yeah, dude. I think that's probably the most they're doing for Pride since I worked there. It's gonna be a big deal. I mean, the coolest thing about DJing to me is putting together the entire vibe for everyone. I just got to make sure I'm ready and I crush it. By the way, why is Venus having Marcus be the DJ for Gay Pride?

26:33Ben Mandelker: If Marcus is involved in setting the tone, don't you want to have a gay person setting the tone for the Gay Pride?

26:38Ronnie Karam: Exactly. Well, that's the whole thing. You know, there's one gay guy and he's at Party City. So I don't know. I don't get it. So he's like, yeah, I'm likely like really into like competitive DJing, bro. Like I'm going to be like people are going to be there and then I'm going to be like dropping the beat. That's how it works, Marcus. And Shane's like yeah you envision it though Like look think about it You're in Vegas bro There's like a huge fucking crowd There's shades on indoors bro Yeah winning

27:07Ben Mandelker: Ha ha Marcus is like yeah I should just throw them on right now I'm just joking I would never put shades on inside Like that's like even too bold for me Yeah that's crazy

27:16Ronnie Karam: Alright now I'd like you all to gather round for fuckboy emotional corner Come on everybody gather round This is good So Shane's like, well, I'm glad we talked about you DJing, but, you know, I'm having some things going on in my mind right now. Doodly-doo, doodly-doo. Because, you know, I got to be honest with women. And I do think that I do that right because I'm so honest with women. But then when I think about it, I'm like, part of me, why it's hard to commit is because what I get terrified about, like, what about all the other chicks? Like, there's this one chick right here, but there's another one.

27:49Ronnie Karam: And then you go to the grocery store, there's one checking out. Then there's one checking out the lady who's checking out. It's like, oh my God, there's so many chicks at the same time. They're everywhere you look. It's almost like it's half of the population. What are you supposed to do?

28:02Ben Mandelker: Well, bro, hooking up with other chicks or missing out? Are you interested in hooking up with other chicks or are you just missing out on the validation from other chicks?

28:11Ronnie Karam: Yeah, well, I think that the hookup is the finale of the validation.

28:18Ben Mandelker: Yeah, I've seen patterns in my life where I've used women very similarly to the way I've used drugs. Have you ever tried to snort a woman? It's crazy, man. At one point in my life, I did 15 months of no dating and no sex and I actually went through a real withdrawal and the validation from women and the intrigue with women, the sex with women, all of that has been used as a way to avoid my own emotions.

28:42Ronnie Karam: Sad laugh. Dude, I think like the middle path is like finding a super special one girl and then you just cheat on her a lot, you know? And then the validation you'll ever need is when she finds out or she suspects it. And then she gets mad that you were missing. He's like, oh, wow. Yeah, that sounds good. He's like, yeah. And once you start going on that path, you feel more validated and fulfilled, you know? And he's like, yeah, yeah, okay, right. I guess that works for some people. I don't really get it. One time I tried to smoke a girl. She was like, oh, that burned. And I was like, sorry.

29:17Ben Mandelker: hey you know what the best part about being with kimberly is what's up what's that bro anytime some something cool happens or i have good news or i got i've got someone to call and share that way then she says why didn't you tell me sooner i said well i just found out she goes i don't believe you and i said it's true and she goes i don't know if i trust you anymore and i say you know what we're broken up and then we break up and we get together a week later that's the best part.

29:42Ronnie Karam: Yeah, I'm going to play this guitar while I talk about something really romantic. You know, Kim could be pregnant right now. It's really funny. I know like all her days, her period days. I know her ovulation days. You want to know why? Because she showed me on an app one day and I just remember clocking it in. And I was like, yeah, we'll see. So, you know, that's why you need a chick. So you can just memorize when she's ovulating.

30:11Ben Mandelker: Hey, bro, listen, I genuinely care about, uh, what's your, what's your name again? What's your name? The one with the boobs, new boobs, new boobs girl. I really care about her a lot.

30:21Ronnie Karam: Oh, right. Angelica, Angelica. Right, right, right. Yeah. But I do though, right? Like I genuinely care about Angelica and her boobs and like it upset me when the crowd turned on her. You know, I'll be real with you, bro. Like there's still potential there. I just saw this girl, this girl getting mocked and made fun of. I really wanted to fuck her in that moment, bro.

30:40Ben Mandelker: Yeah, I'm open to getting To us going to real slow Possibly entering something like my face Entering the space between her boobs And I don't buy Angelica seeing someone new as a threat I feel it was her way of saying Act quickly Shane, please And that's, you know, and I'm now acting quickly As in I want to quickly put my hands All over those nice big chesticles

31:00Ronnie Karam: Well I came here to find you DJ equipment and I ended up finding My soul, my soul is what I found Today bro, I'm addicted To women

31:11Ben Mandelker: Yeah, you should really get paid for this Ha ha ha Ha ha Commercials Here comes one right now

31:23Ronnie Karam: So he's proud of his bro For like having that moment in the guitar store And then Marcus buys Like kind of a cheapy DJ set thing And they're off, you know And he's like, yeah, I just think me seeing Angelica And Kimberly's friendship is like crazy like you know maybe we could go on a double date or something he's like yeah but then what if we're on a double date and there's another girl who comes by what am i gonna do bro so then uh it's

31:52Ben Mandelker: audrey's apartment in koreatown and she is in the kitchen with parker parker who's doing great work as gay best friend in the sitcom and uh he's like making coffee or something he's like you look happy. She goes, I'm fucking ecstatic, you know, ready for pride. He's like, I'm so ready for pride. She goes, me too. He's like, wait a

32:12Ronnie Karam: minute, wait a minute. I'm going to stop doing these dishes right now. These dishes can wait. Why are you so down, hon?

32:21Ben Mandelker: Well, I'm just going to have to see about, you know, I'm going to have to see what's his face at the bar. You know. Chris, are you talking about Chris? Yes. Yes, Chris, Chris. God, You were really slow on your cue there, Parker. But I'm going to have to talk to him today. And he's going to be like, well, I thought we were on the same page. And I'm going to be like, actually, no, because I'm like on a completely different page. You ever like share a book with a friend and you're on different parts of the book? That's where we're at right now. Different pages.

32:50Ronnie Karam: Holy shit. Mary Faith, where did you come from? Mary Faith. Mary Faith, that little ghoul is just like suddenly standing right next to him. He's like, oh, God, Mary Faith, please do not walk up on people when you're not even bothering to suntan.

33:06Ben Mandelker: Did Mary Faith always look like that? I feel like at the beginning of the season, Mary Faith looked like some waspy blonde girl with a horse. And now she's like, hello. No, yeah, she's like a goth, like super pale goth chick. Like she may have been super pale goth all this time, but I guess because her name is Mary Faith and she has a horse. I just always imagined her as just like a waspy blonde girl. and it turns out she's very emo and she's got like chains on like a lock and like dark eyeshadow. Yeah, she's like Wednesday Adams.

33:33Ronnie Karam: So she's just right there. He's like, God damn, Mary Faith. Jesus. And she's like, hi.

33:39Ben Mandelker: I just like to teleport in the mornings. Jesus, Mary Faith.

33:44Ronnie Karam: So, um, Parker's like, okay, listen, me and Mary Faith love you, okay? And we love him too, but y 'all are not for each other. I mean, it's just a waste of time, girl. It's a waste of time, okay? And those dishes don't cleaned themselves so are you pet talked up and she's like oh my god you guys like y 'all are so harsh i'm just like i'm upset okay it's been eight weeks and he made me a sandwich and he poured some champagne and he was like i want to be more romantic with you but i also want to see

34:09Ben Mandelker: other people i mean who says that and then parker being the good gay that he is is like and he didn't even give you that vase that's our fucking vase for his flowers and i was like you see those

34:22Ronnie Karam: tulips those were in my vase because chris couldn't even care enough to get me a face

34:29Ben Mandelker: she's like had a whole hour drive back home where i was like i don't like how that conversation went at all and i just felt like i just kind of like rolled over and was like yeah i'm fine with us being open and like i don't know i just because i just didn't expect him to say that and like a week or two earlier he was like i'm not seeing other people i don't want to see other people and parker's like well there's too many things that aren't working including a non-existent vase Okay besides the fact that he might want to see other people You don't even love him

34:53Ronnie Karam: It's like well I never said I loved him Yeah and he doesn't even love you Whoa Parker Jesus Mary Faith's like good one Good one Parker High five You want to go ride horses later I'm not talking to you Mary Faith You fucking human embodiment For tortilla Just stand there

35:15Ben Mandelker: Mary Faith is like I'm going to an audition For several horror movies later today So, Audrey was like, I was going to go into that moment with Chris thinking that he was going to ask me to be his girlfriend because I thought that's where we were at. And I thought that was the page we were on. Remember when I said we were on different pages? I thought we were on the same page in that moment. And Homeboy was on a completely different book. Not even the same page. A different book. I got whiplash after that one. Book whiplash.

35:37Ronnie Karam: But he is going to be in a Speedo. Oh, gosh. I don't know. I'm going to be like, it's not working. He's going to be like, what? And I'm going to be like, we're over. And then he's going to be like, huh? Huh?

35:48Ben Mandelker: totally girl that was so articulate what you just said it's pride day

35:54Ronnie Karam: she pretty much called it so we go to pride day and Venus is chatting with Israel and he's like okay so we got one hour left until we open I'm gonna start working all the like putting up the floaties and I've got rubber duckies coming it's a big day for rubber duckies and then Angelica and Natalie are gonna be here I'm gonna have them help but we're gonna be blowing shit up Israel blowing shit up

36:15Ben Mandelker: Israel's like we've got so much to do. It's like, I know. And we only have one hour. Let's get to work. Put up some rubber duckies. You know, where I grew up, I never got to embrace being gay. So to be able to host Pride at SIR is such an honor because it truly makes me feel like I escaped my past and I'm living in a future that I always dreamed of, which is being out and proud and made fun of by other gays for loving rubber duckies.

36:37Ronnie Karam: So they're like, wow, sounds fun. So Natalie comes and everybody's just setting up and stuff, you know. And Israel's like, oh, wow, nice of you to show up, Natalie. She goes, are you kidding me? Because I threw up all over myself in my Uber. Okay, that's why I'm late. And I'm not sorry about that. I wasn't even sick. I wasn't even partying. Okay, it's called car sickness, which everybody in my age range seems 90 % of people in my age range get car sick now. It's just a thing.

37:05Ben Mandelker: She puked on herself on the way to pride. Jelka's like, I'm excited. it it's my first bride well actually i've done pride before but like new angelica with boobs first bride nadley's like oh my god and like you're like a big part of it with these outfits like so nice i love them i know i think we're going to go with shorts but i told demi and kim that like i just don't like the way that my shorts look so i'm gonna wear a skirt guys and i just like didn't want to say that like i i did want to say that i talked to kim about the whole situation with audrey the other night and she said that you asked how i was and i just want to say that I say that I really appreciate that.

37:42Ben Mandelker: I don't know why. Like I talked to Kim and she told me what you said and I want to say that I believe it too. And I told Kim that I'm going to say this to you as well.

37:49Ronnie Karam: And there's no way that I was going to stay at that stand-up event because like people were telling her like, hey, Angelica was really offended and she was hurt and all she did was roll her eyes and didn't even reach out. So like that's how I know she meant to insult me because like she doesn't even fucking care. She meant to insult you because she insulted you and then she insulted you again and then she insulted you again and as you left she insulted you. How many signs did you need, Angelica? I love that Angelica's like, I figured it out. She meant to insult me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you figured it out.

38:24Ronnie Karam: So Venus is working. He's like, Woo, girl, I can't breathe. I just did a lot of blowing. And Angelica's still going on. She's like, I mean, she didn't even reach out to me and be like, my jokes offended you. I'm sorry, but she didn't.

38:38Ben Mandelker: Venus tells us the amount of times Angelica has roasted Jason, you would think that she could take a joke. I just didn't want to step on Jason's toes. And then we see a montage of Angelica being really mean to Jason about his height and everything.

38:50Ronnie Karam: Not a terrible point, but it doesn't exactly work because Angelica roasted Jason. Yeah, and she thought it was funny, but nobody else did. And everybody else stood up for Jason and said that it was super, super mean. and then Jason had a fit about it and everybody else had a fit about it. So you guys can't act like, oh wow, why is she so sensitive when you guys have been crying for three weeks.

39:11Ben Mandelker: And also I think Angelica thought she was being funny and she wasn't, whereas Audrey knew she wasn't being funny. Audrey knew she was just straight up insulting this girl. And Audrey also was very sanctimonious about it earlier and now has like changed her tune and is being kind of like really rude with her standup set. So Venus, whatever, They have to open up their stores. They can't talk about it anymore. Not store, but the restaurant. They're going to open it up. Pride is, sir, is open for Pride. So everyone's getting ready. And there's a lot of like hubbub. And everyone's looking at the outfits.

39:45Ben Mandelker: And Parker's like, ooh, coochie mama. Bear faith. Oh my God. I didn't know you'd be wearing the bathing suit too. Wow. That was not what I was expecting. A lot of pale skin.

39:53Ronnie Karam: Venus is like, oh my God, you guys, we're almost ready. I even have a gay towel. It's got sperm all over it. Nella's like yeah I was like fuck yeah I saw that So Demi, Kim and Marcus Come up and Kim's like oh my god I've never seen my boobs like this Before what are we wearing Look crazy They look crazy in those Swimsuits I can't believe they had to go to work in those

40:15Ben Mandelker: I know it is crazy So everyone's saying hello to Marcus Everyone's saying hi Everyone's saying hello hello hello And Audrey is There's like an awkwardness because Audrey And Angelica are both At the hostess stand. And Angelica's saying, I just feel like every time I meet her, it's like a new Audrey. And then I think I figured it out. They say that women don't finish developing their frontal lobe until about age 25. And I'm age 26. So Audrey's 22. And she's still got a few screws loose.

40:45Ronnie Karam: Oh, my gosh. I think you've got a few years left too.

40:50Ben Mandelker: Okay. I don't think anyone who works at this place has any frontal lobe development. I'll just say it right there.

40:54Ronnie Karam: Yeah. I think your first day of work, like Natalie comes out and like lobotomizes you. Like the front lobe is not going to lobe. Okay. No. For any of you. So Audrey's like, oh, can I get some glitter? I just need body glitter. And Angelica's like.

41:11Ronnie Karam: So the boy, the twins arrive wearing jeans and hats and looking all hot and freshly waxed. And Chris is like, there's a snake in my pants, guys. Watch out.

41:23Ben Mandelker: And they're talking about doing like body paint and everything. And Chris wants to have an arrow that points to his crotch. And Audrey was like, oh, I still think he's hot. But now I have to make him all sad when he looks good. Like he's in cowboy hat and boots. That's like exactly my type on paper. Then they get into Speedos.

41:43Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So they're putting on Speedos and stuff. And Chris is like, oh, my God, I've got to see if my balls can take this pressure.

41:51Ben Mandelker: Sir Take

41:54Ronnie Karam: Is that new branding from the restaurant Sir Take Yeah so they're talking about Underboob and stuff like that as the girls Get dressed and Angelica's like oh my god Like why do they expect me to know their size When they pump it up anyways Like how am I supposed to know the Speedo size is So now Venus is like oh my god Everybody get to work this is gay prep We have stuff to do and Chris is like Yeah I need to look like Like, I need to, like, grow a little bit because I, like, have three legs today. So, pretty big.

42:27Ben Mandelker: Now, that is like, you guys, you know, we're singing in, like, an hour. Apparently, there's going to be, like, a platform. And I just, like, don't know how big it is. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I'm getting so nervous. I'm going to puke on myself all over again. And Chris is like, yeah, I'm just going to do, like, a little body roll. Like, yeah, exactly. Body rolls and vibes. Yes.

42:47Ronnie Karam: So Lisa comes And even Lisa's pride Like did she let Venus decorate her for pride What the fuck is she wearing for pride She's wearing one of her hats But she's had somebody glue Like weird party city feather Things to It looked like a

43:03Ben Mandelker: It looked like a bachelor party cake But the stripper had already like Jumped out of it And she was wearing it on her head Like an exploded cake on her head Full of feathers Yeah.

43:16Ronnie Karam: So she tells us why she likes gay pride, and it's because she has a nephew. And he was gay when he was three or four years old. I used to call him, oh, I used to buy him My Little Pony. And little did he know that his family would all celebrate him for being the wonderful person that he is. Maybe I can't buy every little kid My Little Pony, but I can throw a great party in their honor. and that is all you're getting from me today.

43:48Ben Mandelker: Lisa's My Little Pony gay savior story. That's amazing. You just let me know if there's a gay toddler in your midst and I will give them a My Little Pony. It is my duty in this world. Broken birds and little gay childs.

44:05Ronnie Karam: So now pride starts and everyone's dancing around. Ten people come and Shane comes in. He's like, oh, ain't that gay? And the producer asked Angelica if the LAX boy knows about Shane. She's like, he did ask me last night, did they film you kissing? And I was like, yeah. And he was like, did you kiss in the bed? And I was like, I don't think so. Maybe. And we see a flashback of them kissing in bed. And so they talk. And she was like, do you want to change into a pink swimsuit? And he's like, oh, yeah. Sounds great. I'm ready to work.

44:39Ben Mandelker: And then Marcus is like, hey, everyone, thanks for coming out tonight for Pride. I'm 10 % gay. Kim is 100 % straight, though. She just wants me to say that to you all again, just 100%. Don't even try anything with her. Okay, everyone.

44:55Ronnie Karam: So Venus takes the stage to give his speech because he bought Party City decorations, so why not? So he's like, hey, welcome to Gay Pride, everybody. I'm a badass bitch. I'm Venus. I grew up in a town where you couldn't be gay. It was bad. Nobody knew I was gay. They were all shocked. It's a whole town of people who couldn't see or hear. And then I realized when I went to Sally's one day, I found a crimper, a hair crimper. And then I knew. And I got on the bus and crimped my hair. And that's fucking it. Give me some dick. And they're like, oh, my God. That was beautiful, Enos. That was beautiful.

45:29Ben Mandelker: So then Chris is like, let's get drunk, motherfucker. So Shaden pulls Angelica to go outside to have a conversation. and shana's like hey so uh i'm just you know i wanted to apologize for hurting your feelings on that trip you know because at the end of the day uh you get nothing for nothing and i i do like getting to know you but wouldn't it be nice if at the end of the day you got more boobs for more boobs because that's what i'm kind of thinking about these days so i do kind of want to go on more dates with you i'd like to feel your breasts i want to know how heavy they are how round they and that the nipples give you a little indent in your palms and you touch them real hard.

46:08Ben Mandelker: These are the things I'm just thinking about.

46:11Ronnie Karam: Yeah, but like, how do you know you're not just bored of the girl that you were talking to? He's like, um, I don't think that's it. It's not it. It's it's I connect with you. And I think that you feel that. And I think you know what I'm talking about. And I think that you've got a stamp in your purse. And if I pull out my penis, you could stamp it. Validate it. Validate my penis.

46:30Ben Mandelker: Yeah, I really appreciate that so much, Erica.

46:33Ronnie Karam: It's Angelica.

46:34Ben Mandelker: whatever your name is. And you see boobs.

46:37Ronnie Karam: So she's like, well, I mean, if you're seeing somebody, I mean, that's okay. She's like, well, I mean, not officially. I mean, like I started talking to somebody else and it was a really long talk because we were driving back from LAX.

46:48Ben Mandelker: I just think you're such girlfriend material and you're so loyal. Like, you know, you just, I mean, boobs. You got really big boobs now.

46:58Ronnie Karam: Well, I mean, I like you too. So there you go. It's like, okay, then we're in a good spot. And we know that at least Yeah I said that's what we know So she sits on his lap and they kiss And um So they're gonna go back

47:25Ronnie Karam: So um he's like wait a minute I'm not gonna go back in here I'll be right there in a second And um Then we see more Pride stuff. And Natalie's going to perform, guys. Venus is like, Jesus Christ, get the fuck up on the bar, okay? Because someone named Natalie is about to hum for us. Badass bitch.

47:46Ben Mandelker: And then Chris and Jason are on the bar top. And they're just like, you know, they're writhing around. And Demi's like, huh, well, Jason's finally doing a great job. And he's not serving tables. Just standing there looking pretty. Go figure. That was a joke. See, aren't I laughing?

48:03Ronnie Karam: All right, without further ado, one of my best bitches in the entire fucking gay world, she's got such a big heart, you guys. She can sing like a motherfucker. Natalie Maguire with the first hit single, Passengers.

48:17Ben Mandelker: Lisa's like, ooh, lift me up on the bar so I can see her. Look, I'm fun. My little pony is for all of you. So then, now she's out singing. She's like,

48:38Ronnie Karam: Oh, she's good. Wow. Oh, wow. It's amazing how she sounds exactly like the squirrel machine starting up.

48:48Ben Mandelker: And everyone starts going, Natalie, Natalie, Natalie. Who? What? What line producer is telling all these people to chant things every week? Like last week it was like, penis bump, penis bump. People just don't do this.

49:02Ronnie Karam: Sorry. Like we need more energy, guys. Let's just shout Natalie a bunch of times, okay? Well, I think the first impression of Natalie is that she comes across as somebody who's kind of all over the place, you know? But she's not really. She's smart.

49:19Ronnie Karam: All right. Let's just do it again. She's smart.

49:26Ronnie Karam: just keep it rolling you'll edit this later surely

49:32Ben Mandelker: yes I think she's the kind of young woman who could possibly do anything if she set her mind to it unfortunately she doesn't have much of a mind oh just cut that part so Lisa's like I'm so proud of you Natalie just be proud of yourself for being able to squeak some lines out on top of my bar you're such a divine talent. Good for you.

49:55Ronnie Karam: And Natalie's like, oh my god, it literally means so much to, like, impress Lisa because, like, she got mad at me and, like, it was destroying my life. But now I've placed Lisa Vanderpump and I can live. I can continue to live.

50:10Ben Mandelker: So then Audrey goes out to the back to, well, she pulls, it's time for Audrey and Chris to have their big scene. So she goes out to the back and I say, hey, what's up?

50:21Ronnie Karam: right well not that it matters i think i was just cracking up because i was like wow happy gay pride it's like the front of sir getting dumped you know two straight people crying over their relationship like can you two take it somewhere else this is gay pride i shouldn't have to deal with your shit today i know seriously so chris is like hey what so what's up he's like well i really appreciated

50:43Ben Mandelker: like the gesture that you did but like i feel like when you were saying that you want to continue everything and get to like know me and there was always like a but and for me it's like a little confusing and i'm like sorry but like i didn't say that in the moment but like i wish that like i would have said that like that's what i want because like this isn't what i look for in a relationship he's like um yeah well i get what you're saying but like the truth is like i really do like you but like i don't want to make any promises because there are going to be some bad bitches in bali and so i'm just kind of like like yeah it's cool to date you for tv but it'd be fun to bang bad bitches in Bali.

51:19Ben Mandelker: That's my mantra. It rhymes. See what I'm saying?

51:22Ronnie Karam: Wait a minute, but like a bare minimum, like you want to keep getting to know me while I stay here and you go fuck whoever you want? That doesn't make any sense. It actually makes perfect sense. And the fact that you're trying to break up with someone who just broke up with you yesterday is weird. Like you kind of already got dumped. It's weird. She's like trying to reframe it. I mean, I guess it wasn't totally dumped because he's like, yeah, we'll still see each other. But I think if somebody's like, If somebody makes you all the way, come all the way to Marina Del Rey for boiled chicken and says, yeah, I want to fuck other people still.

51:52Ronnie Karam: They kind of just dumped you, right?

51:54Ben Mandelker: Yeah, well, but she's mad. I think I'm allowing her a chance to say all this stuff because she actually dumped him. And then he begged for her to take him back. And she took him back. And then he basically demoted her. And like he didn't even like actually stand in it. Like he didn't even dump her. That's the problem is that he kept her as an option. like oh let's keep this going but like if something better comes along i'm jumping ship but like still like let's keep this option going and now she's like no i don't even want this option open and you humiliated me because you made me drive to marina del rey you gave me vaseless flowers a chicken breast a long drive and this is on the heels of you begging for me back so no i don't want to be even an option anymore for you yeah and he says well i mean

52:42Ronnie Karam: I'm just saying like, I'm not where I need to be at with you. Like with us, it's just not me. It's not me. It's not you. It's just where we are. Know what I mean? And, uh, I wasted a bag of lettuce on you. That's what I'm saying.

52:57Ben Mandelker: So she's like, well, I don't know if you're like ready yet. And like, I don't know when you're going to like know when you're going to be ready. Because like right now it's been like eight weeks. And I feel like at the point, like someone should know if they want to be with me or not. and like my standards are like up here and you're like down here. Yeah, I learned that from Kelly Ben Simone, okay? And he's like, I mean, I guess I can't meet your standards then because I'm not there. So I'm not ready to do all that, you know? She's like, yeah. And I'm starting to realize that Chris has a problem with commitment.

53:26Ben Mandelker: Oh, wow. Wow. Good.

53:29Ronnie Karam: You're getting it. Yeah, really.

53:32Ben Mandelker: A lot of, wow. A lot of epiphanies over there.

53:37Ronnie Karam: She's like, you have made it clear You want to see other people and you don't want to be in a long-term relationship, but you want to get to know me, but you haven't tried to get to know me and you don't even know what my favorite flower is. You don't even know what my mom's name is.

53:49Ben Mandelker: It's like your mom's name is tulip and your favorite flowers. You can't keep answering tulip for everything.

53:57Ronnie Karam: And then in the bar, you told me you wanted to do these things with me. And then I was like, okay, so I opened my doors back up and let you back in. And then two seconds later, he's like, it wasn't two seconds later. It was like a whole few days. Like it took a while. It was a few days.

54:11Ben Mandelker: I'm not being literal. It's not a literal two seconds. She goes, I have been trying to realize what I deserve and put myself first. And why waste both of our time by continuing on. You should just have your time to go do what you want to do. And I'm going to move. And I'm going to like heal from this situation. And put this aside right now because I can't be strung along in this situation anymore.

54:34Ronnie Karam: He was like um I don't want to string you along Which is But you are stringing me along And he's like I'm being honest with you No cause you're contradicting yourself You know like I don't want to see other people I'm not seeing other people but I'm open if they come along Like what the fuck

54:49Ben Mandelker: By the way this is a classic fuck boy thing Which is By somehow like Carving out a moral high ground From From their actions Like I do want to just demote you down to being an option until I find someone better. But because I'm being honest with you, I'm actually being very virtuous. And like, this is really clear, clean communication. So I'm not the bad guy here, actually.

55:16Ronnie Karam: Well, I mean, it's also dating though. It's like, okay, well, I don't want to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but we can still see each other. Right. I mean, I don't know. It was my brain. So that, I mean, I get, I get why she's annoyed. I just don't get why she doesn't understand what he's saying. Like he's saying, okay, we can still see each other, but I'm not where you need me to be. She's like, but you know what? Like, I don't think like you're where I need you to be. It's like, he just said that 10 times. What are you not understanding? Walk away. Just walk away. It's like, she thinks if she keeps arguing with him, he's going to give her a different answer, but this guy is a fuck boy.

55:49Ronnie Karam: He's not going to stop. Stop even having the conversation. Walk away. Yeah.

55:55Ben Mandelker: I mean, I think that basically it should just, it's the broader context and how insulting it is. Like, yes, he is being honest about his intentions and he is just saying, Hey, let's just like, I don't want to be in a relationship with you, but let's fuck around. But she's also like, why did you beg for me to come back? And so now I think she's just, she's just taken her licks where she can get them. You know, she was like, I'm mad at you and I'm going to tell you off on everything. And I'm going to boost myself up in the process. And I'm going to say, you're not where I need you to be blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

56:22Ben Mandelker: And the other thing is that he did not just come out and say it. He did not say, look, I've been thinking about it. And I was thinking like, I actually don't know if we would be great as like a full-fledged relationship but it's fun it's fun having fun with you so i'm down with that and let's just have fun and maybe we'll meet some other people but in the meantime we'll have fun like he didn't even say that he he sort of couched in this all this talk about like i like i want to be right like you know i want to protect your feelings and then i gotta protect my feelings and there's so much that's going on and boundaries are strange blah blah blah blah he just sort of couched in all this bullshit so she's just like whatever fuck you and she's just like having her monologue and you know yeah he may have been you know i get it he did say like i'm not there yet and she's like you're not there yet it's like yeah that's what i already said but i think she's just she's just trying to like you're trying to get

57:08Ronnie Karam: water from a stone here you know what i mean and you're trying to save dignity in the worst bathing suit in the world working the chintziest gay pride party in the world out front of sir i just i'm like oh my gosh i'd feel kind of bad for her but then i don't because she was also mean to angelica so um which i think is why i'm conflicting i'm like shut up part of me is just like shut up but then chris uh is like yeah you know i feel like shit because i'm not confident in my in myself oh i meant in what in what we have i'm totally confident myself have you seen my dick it's huge and if you haven't you can just uh follow this qr code um so audrey's crying on the side.

57:49Ronnie Karam: He's like, and he's like, I mean, if we were like dating half a year or something or like traveling, you know, the traveling wouldn't be a thing, but it's just too early, you know? So I pushed her away. It's my fault. It's my fault. You guys I'm damaged.

58:03Ben Mandelker: So then Chris Jason's like, Hey, are you all right? He's like, I don't know. Cause you got glitter in your mustache. It's like, yeah, the fucking stash. Audrey and I just talked in like, I told her that I want to get to know her more but then i also want to keep my options open because i'm not 100 about us and then uh parker's like comes over like what did he say what did he say and i'm just like well i just don't want to be i don't want someone who talks to me like that if you don't want to be with me at this point then what do you want literally like what do you want like i put all all of me into you okay and i support you through fucking everything you're only fans you're everything

58:38Ronnie Karam: i like that she tried to make a list she's like i tried to support you through everything You're OnlyFans. You're. I mean, it's really all that's going on. So everything, everything. I supported everything. Hi, guys. God damn it. Fucking Mary Faith.

58:56Ben Mandelker: Mary Faith. You said you'd be up in Northern California this weekend. I'm back.

59:02Ronnie Karam: So back to Chris. He's like, I mean, obviously I like her. That's why I was like spending a whole bunch of time with her. And, you know, she was saying like, it seems like two months is like a really long time. But like, I mean, regardless, she pretty much told me like, if you don't know by now, I can't wait any longer. And Jason is just Jason, who I don't think has had one line in this entire episode. It's just like, no, bro, your stash looks really good. Come here, bro. Let's hug it out.

59:28Ben Mandelker: So Parker's like, he is a waste of time. He's a waste of energy. He doesn't know if he wants to. And you need somebody that says, I want Audrey, period. End of story. And I was like, yeah, thank you. So meanwhile Angelica Is talking to Kim at the Host stand she goes have you noticed that Audrey's Been avoiding me all day long and Kim's Like is she yeah she keeps Walking by me she doesn't acknowledge me she doesn't Even say hi well she Should have at least said hello to you yeah

59:55Ronnie Karam: Like I literally can't even get through the day anymore Like I need to say hi like what The hell

1:00:01Ben Mandelker: My insatiable need to say hi To someone just cannot be Satisfied I need to say Hello to her it's an addiction

1:00:10Ronnie Karam: so Parker's still going oh my god fuck that guy it's gay pride it's gay time let's dance so Angelica's like oh my god I love you so much Kim for supporting me and my need to say hello she's like you've got this okay I'm gonna do it I'm gonna say hello hey can you come to the back alley with me cause it's like so loud and you're Audrey so she's like okay so they go sit in the smoking alley and Angelica says congrats on her performance and she goes yeah thanks it was great wasn't it By the way, she's just like slumped over, like rolling her eyes and being like, yeah, God, Chuck's like Angelica.

1:00:47Ben Mandelker: And Angelica's like, yeah, I thought it was great, except, you know, I thought it was amazing. I just, you know, I was really caught up by like, off guard by the ending. Cause like, then like, even though like, you know, even though you knew you, it hurt me. You didn't like reach out either. And she's like, I didn't reach out to anyone though. Yeah, but like, I don't think anyone else told you they were upset. She's like yeah because it was comedy That's like what it is It was just like comedy duh She's like yeah but like why are you coming at me With this like weird energy Cause you told me to come talk to you So I'm not coming at you at all Hashtag comedy learn some rules

1:01:20Ronnie Karam: No but like what I'm saying is like What's up with your strange attitude She's like there's been a lot going on today Like some of us have real storylines With the men on the show So

1:01:33Ben Mandelker: Yeah my emotional battery is below zero and I'm going through what I know from my therapist as emotional withdrawal I have no emotion left to give you babe sorry that's just how it is in comedy but like you

1:01:48Ronnie Karam: understand where I'm coming from right she's like no not really okay well it wasn't funny Audrey it wasn't funny she's well everyone else was laughing I thought it was pretty funny um well I think it's

1:02:00Ben Mandelker: just like that just really tells like the type of person you are honestly um it was stand-up comedy and everyone knew they were gonna be roasted because it's comedy you talked about my traumas

1:02:12Ronnie Karam: i have a great credit score okay and i don't live with a x anymore what she said you talked about

1:02:19Ben Mandelker: my traumas i have a great credit score i can't that's why it's a joke comedy keep up bitch not Not only is she like disregarding my feelings, but it feels like she's trying to make me feel small for even having feelings Take a shot every time I said feelings. Okay, guys So Venus is like guys what's happening? Are you guys talking about comedy? What's happening? She's like wait, can you just hear how she's talking? What she did on stage wasn't comedic, but this is comedy? I don't get it

1:02:48Ronnie Karam: So they were laughing though and Venus is like I thought you were funny as fuck girl I'll tell you that right now. That was funny as fuck and she's like okay she was funny and i gave you flowers for that but like you went off you know the penis pump and you told me i weaponized it and that i spilled secrets and you would never do that to you know you would never do that to me and then that's exactly what you did you turned all my trauma into a bit and then you weaponized it she's like um hun hun doing stand-up comedy on stage and telling the whole fucking staff she goes you're pick me you are pick me you are one and you do seek malvalidation.

1:03:23Ronnie Karam: Venus is like, oh my God, I didn't think you were a pick-me at all. No, if you're going to insult someone,

1:03:31Ben Mandelker: Angelica, by the way, is the biggest pick-me of them all. If you're going to insult someone in a way or if you're going to roast them, have the decency to let them know, okay? If you see that I'm hurt. She's like, I didn't tell anyone about my comedy. She's like, but if you see that you have the fucking decency to follow up. I was hurt. You can say it's fucking comedy, but you're ugly. that's comedic like you look like tits o 'clock what comedy

1:03:58Ronnie Karam: you look like tits o 'clock so audrey's like yeah i'm not apologizing to her like i mean maybe something's maybe something's wrong maybe she should be like maybe something's wrong with audrey and i should see if she's okay no the point is you're not seeing that something's wrong with her and saying sorry you're the one who hurt her she's not the one who hurt you some other guy hurt you Asshole So now everybody's kind of gathering around In the back and watching this And Kim's like well I mean the truth is What you said hurt her you know Maybe it was below the bell you know Like I think what bothered her Is that Audrey didn't reach out And then tell the cause like you went for it at the end And that was insane Audrey's like okay well then I'm sorry I hurt your feelings Like welcome to stand up comedy

1:04:44Ben Mandelker: Well but yeah but you don't fucking mean it You're a shitty person That's what you are. You're shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty. Okay, bye. Walk away. Walk away. I'm not walking. I'm going to stand right here. That's what it's called.

1:04:56Ronnie Karam: Stand-up comedy. And Marcus is like, guys, as a DJ, can I be the voice of the reason? I'm a DJ now. And Angelica's like, yeah, where I come from, like with my girlfriends, like I'm there for you. And I thought it was the same for Audrey. She's like, girl. No, because I can't believe you would trade friendship for a boy. I mean, that's what it fucking feels like. What boy? Well, crazy, because you said you're not going through it. You're not going to last through the summer, okay? You could have had a girlfriend for your lifetime, and instead you chose him.

1:05:24Ben Mandelker: Guys, guys, guys, DJ talking. We've all got heightened emotions here right now because the music is so good, and that's okay because Audrey did empty a clip on Angela, but in the name of comedy, it's okay. No, I don't think it was in the name of comedy. I think it was shitty. It was shitty. Hey, guys, how could you feel like that about her, But you can't say the same fucking stuff About us Quiet Jason because I'm not your fucking friend You're literally a gnat

1:05:53Ronnie Karam: What are we doing out here We're supposed to be working This is People expect amazing service Sorry can we do that again Let's just roll that one again
