2:12Well, hello and welcome to Crappy Hour. I'm Ronnie. That's Ben over there. Hello, Ben.

2:20Ben Mandelker: Hi. How's it going? Good. Happy Crappy Hour, everybody. It's July 22nd. It's a Monday. And it's the day after Father's Day. What a good one. What's a good one? What a good one. We are here and we've survived. And I just want to say, by the way, everyone, welcome to Crappy Hour. Some people in the comments have already talked about how they want to talk about the Rhode Island reunion. And if you want to talk about that, just hang on until the latter portion of the episode when we bring people up on stage. We'll send you all a link and you can ask away any question you want about Rhode Island or anything else.

3:06Ben Mandelker: So get your little fingers ready to copy and paste some URLs in your browser. Yes. And speaking of Father's Day, Danielle from In the City in Summer House just gave birth. I mean, that's a mother, but, you know, Owen's the father. So congrats to those guys. He's 10 weeks premature. So he's in NICU. So sending prayers to that little baby. I think his name is Aiden. Oh, okay. Well, congratulations. I think his name is Aiden Heavey or Heavy. I'm not sure. It's like heavy, but with an E at the end. Heavy with a heavy. It looks to me like a Heavey than a Heavy. I think it would be a Heavey, right? I would be so mad if my last name was Heavy.

3:49Ronnie Heavy? Oh, for Christ's sake. Just leave me alone already. Even Heavey.

3:55Ben Mandelker: let us know in the comments how to pronounce that last name i'm gonna go with heevee but i will also take an outside um like like a like a dark horse candidate like like heavia you know well you never know owen e-o-i-n so you never know but you see you know god bless them and their little baby i don't mean that in a mean way like bless her heart i really mean it like congrats on your baby guys For real, a real, a real, real one. It's very exciting. And the first of the, of the in the city babies to drop. So very exciting path for all of them. So I'm just looking at the comments. Miriam says today I found out Tammy Roman is a YouTube slot machine broadcaster and she's winning.

4:45Ben Mandelker: I don't know what that YouTube slot machine broadcaster means, but Tammy Roman, isn't she from the original real world? She's been making it work for all these years. God bless. Yeah, she really has. And speaking of Father's Day. Well, I know you're trying to set up a Ramona thing. I can't find the link. Someone, where was it in the comments? Can someone send us the link? I saw this on social media yesterday in passing. Ramona put up a very awkward Father's Day post. And so Roxy, Roxy in the comments, could you put the link in the comments so we can send it? Because it was like... Well, I found one posted on Reddit.

5:28Do you want me to show it to you? Maybe that's the one it was. Yes, please. Oh, my gosh. It's Ramona sitting kind of on a chair here. It's Ramona sitting on the couch arm behind her dad. And she says, We made up two weeks before we passed, comma. Love you, Dad. Happy Father's Day. Was a witness of domestic abuse towards my mom. Is that the end?

5:54Ben Mandelker: I think that's just what she posted. That can't be. She's just so, she really delivers a message so delicately. Well, obviously it's not funny, but like the incident is not funny. The social, as a social media post, it's very funny because it's a disaster of a post. It's a very It's a very Ramona Singer post That's for sure After all these years She still has really not figured out How to How to do a social media post There was that time It was a little longer It says This photo was taken two weeks before he died And I've said this before But I'll repeat it Life is short, nothing is perfect But family is everything So glad I made up with him oh okay that's cute so it ended okay but geez i thought it ended like that i was like bam ramona oh my gosh but okay well i remember one time we she posted like well everyone this is how you make an apple pie okay and she showed every single step every single step and then she's like and now we put it in the shell okay the next step is the oven and then that was it we never saw the We never saw how it turned out.

7:13Ben Mandelker: We never saw how it tasted. We just never saw the apple pie. What is up with the New York ladies being like that? Because Dorinda was doing her cooking YouTubes. I don't know if she still does them, but I caught one of them. She's like, all right, here's how to make a lasagna, okay? You do this, they have this thing, and then you have the cheese, and then you do a lasagna, and then you have the cheese, and then you put in the oven. And then she opens the oven when you would see the thing, and then you see it for one flash, and it's gone. I was like, can I see the fucking thing? I just sat here for 45 minutes.

7:45Show me the fucking lasagna.

7:47Ben Mandelker: I will also say I have definitely done the exact same thing where I've spent a lot of time showing people to prep up every stupid thing. Like, here I am pouring milk into a bowl, like a step that no one needs to see. And then I leave out the entire end result. So I make fun of Ramona because, unfortunately, I'm a little bit too close to Ramona in my real life. Well, it's very like male climax. It's like work, work, oh God, work, work. Done, bye. The light's off. Bye. Speaking of cooking, by the way, I just made this little cake in between our Amazon Live. And now I made this this afternoon for Dominique's birthday.

8:24That is such a gorgeous baby bump cake. Oh my God, so beautiful. And I love that you put the spoon for scale.

8:34Ben Mandelker: It wasn't for scale. I have been previously drizzling like a syrup on top of it and I just left the spoon on the grate. But yeah, that's just... You were like, Ben, you should show everyone your little button cake. So here it is, the button cake that I made from Ina Garten's recipe. Ina Garten has a new podcast out, by the way. She does? They just announced today she's going to be doing a podcast with Box Media. So there you go. Ma, I'm in. Yeah, I know. Call us, Ina. Seriously, call us. That would be my dream come true. I'd just sit there like this. Um, so I was thinking, you know, that some, some would say that cake was a bit of a bombshell.

9:13Ben Mandelker: Was it not segue segue segue? Uh, I'm, I'm putting this, this first before we get to any bigger headlines, mainly because the new episode of love Island drops in about 22 minutes and we have a bunch of male bombshells entering the villa. And I thought as long as we're all here hanging out, could we just like as a group pass judgment together on this new batch of men? would that be okay if i if i brought up sure where is it is it in the links it's in the links um let me see the meet the love island okay do question we're gonna look at the official photos which are different than the uh photos cosmo cosmopolitan did some like work in terms of finding proper photos from people's social media and uh unfortunately uh for whatever reason love love island is like no we're gonna decide to take photos that make them all look crazy so we're gonna look at the love island photos which i think it looks like you've got ready you want to bring those back up up to the front here yeah but they're showing uh boys and girls yeah that's what you're wanting to show right um yeah it's fine we can just start you just scroll up to the first so yeah we already met the girls last night one of them's already gone because of course she said the n-word yeah what do you mean last night the bombshells came in last night

10:32wait wasn't last night the after sun that was saturday last night who here watched last last night by the way chime in you were so proud you were like i'm caught up on the violin

10:45Ben Mandelker: last night was great okay i'll tell you what happened i'll tell you what happened okay essentially they uh you know the heart race challenge where they have to get in costumes and we spend 45 minutes watching them writhe on each other it's like i'm actually over the heart race challenge in general because it just goes on for so long so they get the thing like tonight's the heart race challenge they all get in their costumes they all get ready the girls come out sit around the fire pit ready to watch the guys the guys however get a text saying change of plan you're doing the heart race challenge over at casa more so they hop in a car they go to casa more and now the girls all come in and the girls all do like lap dances on them basically and then the guys I'll do it for the girls.

11:26Ben Mandelker: And it goes on and on. And what the guys don't realize is that over at the main villa, they gather around all the women ready for the guys to come out to do their bombshell thing. And instead, there's this giant – looks like a giant present. And they're like, oh, my God, especially like Kada from New Hampshire. I was looking all around for her in New Hampshire, any signs of Kada. I couldn't find any. But she's like, oh, my God. Like, I wonder what's going to happen. And everyone's so excited because they think the guys are in this box. Meanwhile, the guys would have suffocated and died because they waited so long.

11:55And then all of a sudden the front of the box falls forward and it's not any, it's not any bombshells.

12:00Ben Mandelker: It's a TV showing them what's going on at Casa Amor. And all the girls are sitting watching the guys do the heart rate challenge with the bombshells. And like the guys are saying things like, like what's his face? Corbin's like, like I'm coming home with a new girl. Bye bye Kenzie. You know, and so the girls are seeing this and they're so mad. Kenzie gets so mad. She does a rage split. She just, she's like, you know what I say to that? And she just does a split on the lawn for no reason. Well, that's my favorite thing about Kenzie when she's like, yeah, doing the split. That's like, everyone should do that every day.

12:38Cause just like grinding your pelvis into the ground is like very grounding. And then it just shows her doing the splits and like kind of rubbing up against the grass. Oh my gosh. Yeah. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappens commercial. Your outdoor space should feel like you. I have this gigantic patio deck thing that I wanted to use for parties. And I could just not find any fashionable patio furniture. I needed a lot and I needed it to go together. I needed different pieces that all kind of looked the same. I was able to go on Wayfair and search for exactly what I needed. Different brands, different things all coming together in one style.

13:25It was so easy to do it, and it looks great.

13:28Ben Mandelker: I can confirm that his outdoor area looks great. And the thing is that you can get more than just seating. You can get grills, major appliances, storage, patio lighting, rugs, decor. Wayfair really is your one-stop shop for home. And the best thing about this place, well, not the best, one of the best, is that you don't even have to put this stuff together. you can hire somebody from Wayfair to come put it over, put it all together for you, you know? And that's the best part because if I put it together, it's rickety, it's falling apart, no matter where it's from. I just don't have that skill.

13:57Ben Mandelker: But they do. Yeah, that is actually probably the part of Wayfair that I just tell my friends about just unsolicitedly. I just will say, like, not only can you order the stuff, someone else can put it together for you. Patio season is here and these deals won't last. Head to Wayfair.com right now and get your outdoor space ready for way less. That's W-A-Y-F-A-I-R dot com. Losing weight is one thing, but keeping it off, that's where it gets really frustrating.

16:29Ben Mandelker: Or is this not turning? I feel like not so exciting so far. Not so much. I mean, honestly, I just feel like I'm passing. I don't know, like I'm sexually judging babies, if that makes sense. But for the people in the show, I mean, Chandler. I think Chandler. Chandler looks hot. Oh, my gosh. He's got a good face. Che. Che. Che. Che. Come on. righteous gemstone says he doesn't look great by the way you don't look great by the way another girl oh my god this guy's eyebrows and he's got good he's got good contact and hair and how do you a lot going on what the hell that do you pray to be like this before you're born i mean how does this happen good lord i have a terrible personality i hate to tell you all Who cares?

17:20Ben Mandelker: Who's listening? Who is listening? Here's what's great also is that Carrie knows that there's 12 new guys. So they're really stacking it. The producers want the women to leave the guys and shake it up. 12? Okay, then I better start. Oh, Catherine says that Carl is much hotter in his candid photos. Corey, I don't know if I love this photo of this guy. I need to read. Oh my gosh, he has the eye. That's what Lake likes to paint on Southern hospitality. She loves that.

I kind of see the big beard, the penetrating stare. It's Viking-esque. Okay. This cat is adorable. The cat's a real bombshell. This is what I say. Everybody leave whoever you're dating on Love Island. They're only going to hurt you. This cat will not. It will wait until you're dead to eat your face off. Okay? Go for the cat. PetSmart is like, hey, make sure to book an ad in the middle of the bombshells for Love Island.

19:28This guy, I mean, I see a lot of hair. I feel like they don't love his tattoos. These guys, like the white guys seem to look alike, right? Yeah. They seem very generic this year. Sandy blonde haired, light eyes. I mean, very handsome, but I want to see these tattoos. I want to read this. The ultimate something of a man, I guess. Umbrella in comfortable.

19:52Ben Mandelker: It's a commercial. It's just ad copy for Sealy mattresses. I thought you were like Sealy. Me and you must never part. No, it's not Sealy. That's Sealy. That would be very interesting. Definitely not. Okay, so Ronnie. I just got to look surprised to be here. Ronnie It's a Ronnie We don't often get it Ronnie So Ronnie Yeah he does look like Huh?

I'm going to reserve judgment. If it's actually a tribute to his bloodline, then I will be okay with it. If it's just a white guy being pretentious, then I'll be like, sir, please take a seat. Yeah. Yeah, because I feel like he's so young that I don't know if it was like an old, old man You'd be like, oh gosh, remember back then? God, our grandparents were so embarrassing But like, yeah, you're too young to be that problematic Another eye Yeah I thought that was a cow face Is it a cow?

What number? Here, okay. Let's say 137. Okay, 130. Ooh, I opened 132. Okay, 137. I have a game here that gives a prompt, and you have to pull a... Never mind, just go on. Okay. There is no season where I haven't learned something about myself. Whether it's how I respond under pusher, or how I handle confrontation, how quickly I forgive, or how deeply I feel. I came to understand that I cannot control how I'm perceived. I can only control how I show up.

26:40To show up, to show up, show up like not two hours late.

26:44Ben Mandelker: I was like, you actually, that's good advice. You can control how you show up. And also when. I'm not naive about the medium anymore. I understand its tempo. I respect its structure. I appreciate the opportunity, but I no longer measure myself by re-auction. When the camera's shut off and the house quits, when I check on my children before bed, when I sit on the stillness of my own thoughts, that is where I recalibrate. She's about to sing. These are some of my favorite things. When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I recalibrate me thoughts. I simply remember I've got one child And then a girl knocks on my front door And I say get out of here I've got one child Pringles on sweatshirts And Coke cans on sweatshirts Chocolate on sweatshirts And sticky things on sweatshirts So many things that PK has on his chest These are a few of his favorite things PSA hate sweatshirts He spills everything on his sweatshirt

27:58Ben Mandelker: Okay, some pretty huge news Is Lisa Barlow Came out with a single Did we talk about this? It was kind of a while ago I think we sort of like addressed We noted that it happened Do you want me to play it so that the audio comes through? Yeah, you have to because I can't play it Let me bring it up But the song is called Baby Gorgeous by Lisa Barlow. And it's Lisa in a crazy outfit with fur around her waist. Yeah, here we go. I'm going to press play. Baby Gorgeous. Your energy is magic. You're just Baby Gorgeous. If you feel it, then it happens. You don't need to hide. You're already shining. Just look to the sky if you don't know where to find it.

28:58You're just baby gorgeous. You're just baby gorgeous. If you run with us, we don't want to stress. Okay. I think the English is bad. You're just baby gorgeous.

29:15Ben Mandelker: You're just baby gorgeous. Well, I guess that makes sense when you say it. the rhythm's a little tricky because it goes, you're just baby gorgeous. It kind of feels like it should go, you're just but it's actually, you're just baby gorgeous. I'm sensitive to these things now since we did a campaign. I was going to say, she's a real sondheim. Okay, so some comments. Sabrina Carpenter who? Song of the Summer. Yes. But what do the lyrics mean? They don't mean it's poetry yeah you're asking kind of questions of that go ask shakespeare actually i think his things meant things his sentences meant things but you know what i mean does shakespeare have a platinum hit i don't think so how many songs has shakespeare gotten to the top of the charts well i'm really glad for her because yeah shakespeare really like right better um but I'm actually super happy that this came out because I was just thinking a couple weeks ago, like, where are the Housewives singles?

30:18Like, what happened to that plot where Housewives would come out with singles? It had been a while. And I never would have thought it would be Lisa. But it's Lisa. Here we go. Right on.

30:28Ben Mandelker: Yeah. They're all DJing now. That's the thing. Yeah. So they're like, rather than being in front, we're going to go behind. Even Erica Jane halted her illustrious musical singing career to be a DJ. so it's nice to see someone deciding no I'm going to still be on stage on a mic performing it's her it's Luann, it's Candice and it's Adriana yeah, that's pretty good, I look forward to hearing it in every gay bar I go to for the rest of my life and our shows it will be in the remix of our next live show for sure I would like to put it in the montage but it has to become popular enough that people recognize it because I put so many songs and that pre-show montage where I'm like, people are going to be cheering.

31:13Ben Mandelker: And really, the only songs people ever want to hear are the Vanderpump Rules theme song and Chic C 'est La Vie. Like, that's it. All the other songs I put in there, people are always like, what is this? Oh, don't know Baby Gorgeous. Trust me. I'll put Baby Gorgeous in there. Fine. I mean, I knew it. I was kind of singing it in the shower. I was like, Baby Gorgeous. And I kept saying, what does that mean? Yeah, well, yeah. Drive Back is actually the best Housewives song. says we giordiano and i agree that is the best real housewives song release drive back for for sure um because you make me want to drop back drop back remember baby gorgeous battle battle oh my god let's make it a remix let's make it a mashup can you make me want to drop back actually good as gold actually i would say good as gold is my favorite i actually think that's a legitimately great song the brain doesn't mean a thing there's so many that stick in my head or on display on display on display it's not bad either it's not bad a lot of like songs you know one good thing about the pop landscape is it has lowered our expectations a great deal we're just it's great and if it sticks in your head i think it's good yeah i mean like i mean when you hear like sounds of like candace yeah yeah yeah that's how to set a tone yeah yeah yeah this is a classic of course

32:47Ben Mandelker: here we go yeah good job Candice can Lisa have her moment no no because she stands on the shoulders of others and everyone has to be acknowledged all right what else what else you want to talk about in here well let me go back to the uh page the starbell um uh for those who are um i don't know i guess one thing that was sort of making some waves last week was a story that said that west wilson was trying to get lindsey carl and kyle fired from summer house um apparently he was going around when lindsey was pregnant telling producers like she shouldn't be on the show because the show is not about pregnant people and then he was also saying that carl and kyle like they're like basically old news and um like like it really should just be about like the new people that are on the show this is all what's being alleged and he is of course categorically denying any of it and all of it but do you think that he he tried to do that i mean i'm sure he said what we saw on camera him well he said to didn't he say it on camera like or he said in an interview or something like i'm sure lindsey will be gone because like what are you going to do on the show with the baby which i think at the time people were like what is she going to do on the show with the baby you know it is at the time it was like it's just people are getting wasted every week like you're going to have a baby that's like a natural end of the show and lindsey was like excuse me and um taught us otherwise for sure but the carl and kyle i mean i don't i don't know is it so weird that i've killed west wilson in my pop culture mind already i'm like i'm like goodbye goodbye you fucking loser i'm so sick of it that after after the math aftermath after the aftermath after the aftermath yeah i i was like okay we're broken up now but i mean not that we were ever together but like tv wise you know bye well people here in the comments do believe that he was trying to sort of plant seeds to be like let's let's move on past past them and uh i think like a year ago i would have been like oh no i think that he's like you know he's shifting to fame more but he understands how this works but now i actually do kind of think that maybe maybe he did you know yeah i wouldn't i wouldn't add those seeds you know and i said a million times in the recap but one thing that always sticks in my mind this little tinker about West and Jesse is when Lexi was talking about Jesse complaint saying oh no we need to do this because West is popular kind of the insecurity about who's the most popular or whatever and that's I think they're thirsty fucking douchebags you know fuck off West bye go do it over there just do it over there Do it on another channel.

35:49Okay. Can't wait for your CMT show.

35:52Ben Mandelker: Yeah, exactly. Well, he'll be on what's it called? The special ops show. He'll be carrying around, you know, some reality star over his shoulder. And then, yes, then the next step will be Manosphere, Theo Vaughn, Joe Rogan. You can't say anything anymore. Wow. And that'll be, that's the trajectory. So good luck. Yeah. So a pretty big piece of news. Well, there's two Jersey things. One is that There was a headline this week That said Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 15 is reportedly less toxic After Bravo's cast shake up To which I say boo sounds boring Bring back my cast Why are you firing everybody?

36:31No! Boo! Boo! Pre-boo! Pre-boo! Do not support

36:36Ben Mandelker: Yeah, yeah I don't see it First of all, you know that It's going to be awful When they've tried to make the show non-toxic it's just like scenes of Teresa and Melissa pretending to play house like family is everything and then they're like making cookies together and they're just doing stupid things around town no it doesn't work that way oh by the way someone at my reunion is from Tenafly I was like where do you live these days she goes I live in Tenafly I was like oh and she goes you know it I'm like well the real housewives there's one real housewife and she gets gossip from someone named Serena from Tenafly my friend was like what Short court reporter Wasn't that her?

37:18No, that was Laura Laura was the short one, Serena's the one with all the gossip Oh, Serena's the one with the gossip Okay, well the other time One of the other times, the most famous time in my mind That Bravo said, oh guess what It's coming back and it's less toxic Is with Real Housewives of New York, the reboot So, I don't know Not great PR for you, Bravo Although, I'm a huge Jersey stan From back in the day So my fingers are crossed, but it's going to be hard to make up for firing all those people. Do not like.

37:50Ben Mandelker: Yeah. I think getting rid of Margaret was, that was not smart because Margaret is a great foil for Teresa because Teresa is so dumb and Margaret is so smart. And you need to have like the dumb and the smart facing off because right now it's just going to be Teresa. It'll be Teresa and Melissa. It's just not going to be enough. Pretending to like each other. Who wants that? Yeah. Literally nobody. Here comes one right now. Grilling season is finally here and let's be honest, the difference between a good cookout and a great one comes down to the quality of your meat.

40:29Interesting. Okay, so the other piece of Jersey news was Melania Judais was arrested for domestic violence. Did they ever say for sure what this was? We didn't really know. Apparently, she hit somebody one of the sisters called the cops and it was supposedly allegedly this is just from comments i was gathering on the internets about uh fighting over going back to college and getting into it with louis and this and that and then uh kim d on her podcast was like oh yeah oh she slapped the shit out of them thank god then melania came out with uh some instagram posts hinting at what she's going through.

41:18One of them is a street sign. A street sign? I'm guessing this isn't a real street sign. I'm really smart. It takes me a while. None of us sit high enough to look down on anybody. Be humble.

41:33Ben Mandelker: Interesting. Cryptic. I'm sorry. She also shared a few quotes about mothers, including, I hope my mom never carries the weight of thinking she wasn't enough. I could fill pages with the quiet, beautiful ways she shaped my life. Well, Doha in the comments here says, on Reddit, there was a post about Antonia's new nose job. I did see that, actually. Antonia, which is Melissa's daughter, got a nose job. And people were upset with Melissa and her passing on poor body image to her kid. Within hours, the months-old Melania rest story came out. So, like, do you think there was some sort of conspiracy theory to take attention off of Melissa?

42:15What, did they make her hit somebody in the family?

42:18Ben Mandelker: Well, the idea that the story was there all this time. No, when people leave a kid alone about her damn nose, give me a break. And if anybody's to blame for people feeling insecure about their bodies or anything, it's the commenters on these fucking posts. Jesus. Yeah, that's for sure. Although, I mean, hello. Not to be a hypocrite. We all watch these shows, but I guess It's like, leave the kid alone You know, geez, what'd she do? She's a kid Yeah, but Melania has A high-powered attorney Alan Kraminski Of Kraminski Law To take on her domestic Violence case Still don't really know what is going on With this case, but she hired someone Very high-powered for this Of whoever Saying that she hit her So I guess we'll see No she hit somebody No I'm sorry that's what I meant to say Oh okay I never know how I'm reading things because I could have read it to you Completely backwards knowing me So that's Melania I don't know I love my little Melania Good luck over there I mean don't hit people But Don't hit people I love Melania I love her ever since she sat on the sushi in the grocery store Who'd have thought of all people Melania judice would have um been someone to act out it wasn't the most shocking news um so especially like you know her mom's on her mom no no no need to go further her mom's her mom uh so let's see what else oh so speaking of the real housewives of new york as i just did in passing the drama that is coming out of that one is that Real Housewives of New York star Cy DeSilva shares a cryptic post about Carol Radswell during feud.

44:11It looks like she's coming after her for being on the Epstein list. And she said in a post in the now deleted Instagram story Cy shared a glam chair selfie alongside the caption just out here asking the questions that everyone wants to know. you know what i applaud si for doing it because it's true like real housewives old school real

44:33Ben Mandelker: housewives of new york would go there giselle would go there giselle wish giselle naomi wish but like in like the housewives would go there and so si has to ask carol these questions because it's a thing that's out there and like why not make people feel uncomfortable why not be a little So I think Cy, I'm hoping, is getting the memo of what they have to do for the reboot. And I think it'll be fun to see Carol. Well, you have to ask. I already know. Yeah. What? I barely knew her. She's some girl I knew from a party who took my picture for my book cover because she said she was a photographer. Okay.

45:12I mean, you have to ask her. Right when she was cast, all this news was coming out. It was like the Epstein list comes out and they're like, and Carol Radwell coming back to the Epstein list in Real Housewives of New York.

45:26Ben Mandelker: Yeah. So I'm all for it. I'm all for like, you know, not being like, oh, my God, Carol needs to go to jail or anything. I just like I want them to address stuff that's out there. And I just don't want another season of like, you know, oh, my God, there was like, I like cheese. I don't like cheese, you know? Who complained about the cheese? Although, that was one of our favorite plots to come out of that show. I do like a petty fight. Because that was the beginning. And we were like, oh, good, a cheese fight. I'm in. And then it turned into what it was. Bad news for Alicia from Real Housewives of Rhode Island.

46:08Pizza chip inventor says the one shown on Real Housewives was not actually a pizza chip. A burn.

46:15Ben Mandelker: That's really a shame. We strive for authenticity at all times on Bravo, so to know that what we saw was not a real pizza chip, it's just sad. It's sad that Alicia has to resort to lying about pizza chips. What a shame. What a huge shame. Don DiPetrillo says, piece of dough. It has to be very crusty, but you got to have the right sauce. Sauce has to taste good, said DiPetrillo. They have to be baked at the right temperature, and consistency is the main factor. He said his idea for the pizza chip came when he was hungry and goofing around with his nephew back in the day. Pizza chips were basically invented in 87, said Petrillo.

46:58Ben Mandelker: So how could he tell it was not real from the image? Was it just not dark enough? Is that why? Oh, I'm sure. Well, you know, his bakery sells 55 ,000 pizza chips in one week. So he hears someone's claiming to invent the pizza chip. He's going to get his ass down to pizza mama. Okay. Yeah. Well, there's pizza chips and pizza strips. So we know that there's a whole world of pizza adjacent things in Rhode Island that we're going to have to try someday. But I'm glad that he spoke up and righted the wrong. Speaking of cooking, one thing that caught my eye this week. So Top Chef is done. Carolinas are done.

47:39Ben Mandelker: we were not fans of the twins because they were very annoying and they were very much like they were clearly just trying to on-ramp into celebrity chef stardom they were very food network-y on Bravo and so Jonathan he made it just shy of the end and arguably one could make an argument that he may have contributed to Lawrence losing and Lawrence was a front runner and guess what Jonathan was a sous chef so well anyway the big thing is that Jonathan he actually was a I guess you could say like a performer or something um he performed uh at that UFC fight at the on the White House lawn he performed uh for the that birthday celebration that happened and he was on stage and then he started and there's like a video of him and he's like high-fiving all these all these bros in the audience and everything and then he's like um he's like oh well you know you know just my political beliefs you know you you decided my political beliefs based on a ufc fan event where i was invited to cook is a pretty wild assumption so i just wanted to point this out that uh this guy who has sucked for many reasons now there's another real big reason to say that he sucks this guy lost me when he made a dinner roll for a challenge for his whole dinner he made a dinner roll okay i will not ever get over that um yeah this picture is very funny too because it's him pointing up like hey but they're putting a picture of him you know at the game or whatever or whatever he was doing on the lawn and the headline oh i'm sorry and the poster right above his head says mushroom smothered steak oh that makes me laugh of course just someone smiling and then their title is mushroom smothered with bourbon pan gravy don't leave that part off anyway I just wanted to highlight that

49:53Ben Mandelker: mushroom smothered steak he's doing a Joe Gorga post but his inspirational quote is mushroom smothered steak oh geez what are you gonna do what you gonna do uh speaking of backpedaling on politics heather dubrow's also backpedaling on spencer pratt oh she and heather dubrow performative ass heather dubrow and of course she's gonna backpedal after she gets called out at least stand in it heather for christ's sake yeah um she uh yeah she went on her podcast with terry It was like, you know what? Here's where Spencer Pratt lost me. I'm like, it should never have been that he had you in the first place, but that's fine.

50:33Ben Mandelker: She's like, when he said he was going to do a reality show while being mayor. And we all know you can't, if you're there to be mayor, then you can't be doing a reality show. It's like, you know, you're doing a reality show while trying to make it as a comic actress. I hate to bring it to you. But we'll probably run for mayor at some point. I can't with, I can't with this. it's like she gets in trouble and then she's like oh really i'm very offended now that a reality star would want to make a reality show get out of here just come on she should have just said you know what someone asked me a question i didn't know much about the guy i said sure we need a change i didn't realize he was a piece of shit now i know it was my bad i wish he just said that but but now she's like wait now i just realized i was like okay so that's the thing that was like that was too much for you was that he's gonna do a reality show not every other thing problematic thing that spencer pratt stood for sully but anyway i still thought it was funny and then uh in the comments people are saying they think that she got a facelift i noticed that too i thought she looked great actually i was like wow i thought the bro in this in this clip she's looking fabulous she does yeah it looks like makeup free looks great yeah that's a fate look if that's a facelift show me where point me point me to the direction i will call them whenever um so that brings us to the end of the headline portion of this now we're going to talk to you guys and invite you up to the stage but if you're just here listening on audio thank you so much for being here we'll be here in another couple of weeks at 5 30 pacif well wait will we or is that july 4th weekend in two um might be three weeks three weeks yeah we're off for july 4th week so yeah we won't we won't be here on july 6th but you know july 13th yeah so we'll be back july 13th thank you guys so much for being here we will talk to you next time bye watch what crappens would like to thank its premium sponsors she answered the call it's adia paul ain't no thing like alison king our way is the amber way it's the foster and the furious it's amanda foster it's always automatic with ashley auto.
