And Ariana is saying they haven't seen each other for a minute. But, you know, she's hugging her through the phone because all the headlines and stuff. and then ariana's also making a banana bread because liam's going to come over and build her a closet because um because she they're flirting and um he basically was like i'll build you a i'll build you a closet but then you have to ride on my motorcycle you have to ride on my hog because that's what i do i ride a hog and i volunteer for firefighting in lake george and I also help with animals and I build things.

3:13Ben Mandelker: I was on my order once, so. Her mom was Jane Mansfield. How about that? Yeah. I didn't know that. Never heard of her before, but whatever. So Ariana's like, yeah, I honestly like really hit it off with Liam and he like wants to build a closet for me and just like, exchange for a motorcycle ride, I mean, sounds like a dream. So, just in case, I also called it TaskRabbit. So now, Shaw and Abe. Exactly, because this guy is totally giving Luke from Summer House, where he's like, yeah, you know what I am? A man's man. I like to chop logs. And then it cuts to Luke, like, chopping a log and missing, you know?

5:55I like that she's got kind of a young Erica Jane thing going on. My mom's a sick child. She's pretty great. You might have heard of her.

6:04Ben Mandelker: Brooks. I'm obsessed. She does sort of also look like a Richards, like a Kyle Richards type, which is funny because I guess the Richards, when we first met Kyle Richards, I think we all sort of thought she looked like Brooke Shields. So look at them all having genetic similarities and long hair so uh rowan was like um she said uh we see rowan says the first time like you like you met me um i was like you really seem like you're from like oh he's like portland yeah like portland you seem like you're in portland he goes yeah you're like straight out of portlandia a little bit whatever that is they go have you been to portland shine he's like no and goes can someone explain to me what happened at girls night um and because i don't I don't even know what was going on.

6:53Like, it was so clear, shy. It was very clear. So, um, he's like, yeah, like I'm just always on the side. And then I saw an article and I was like, what? I was there. That didn't, what, what even happened?

7:05Ben Mandelker: I don't even understand what a girl's night is. What is that? Where were we? Were we even at a bar? So Rowan's like, yeah, it all happened like really quick. And we were all like drinking. And Ava's like, I truly think Riley was drinking and drunk. Really? Ava, I'm so glad that, thank you for that insight. Guys, I think what happened was that Riley was drunk and she was drinking. So I don't know. So I was like, yeah, I heard guys night was really awkward. He's like, it was the most taco. Aco. Isn't it? Aco taco. Apparently. I never even, I'm like shy. I was like, I didn't even, I haven't even heard of that phrase, but I, but I was told by someone on the sofa that was aco taco, not taco.

7:46Oh, thank you. Okay. So Shai's like Well I mean it would make more sense Like an awkward taco Like an aqua taco Is awkward a taco? Yeah So Shai's like Yeah I walked in And Brooks was like I'm leaving And then he starts like Sprinting away guys Like it looked like He was like training For the LA Olympics Like the 100 dash It looked like Sex and the City If they filmed it all running You know What? You should have just left it at The Olympics

8:17Ben Mandelker: because that doesn't make sense leave it at taco taco okay just yeah yeah so then um then ava says like so you guys all left charlie alone that's like kind of sad and he's like yeah it kind of is like the icing of like charlie out and i'm like i'm not like on that mob mentality of like oh wow there's like a fair position to have like you know i just like i'm not like that i don't even get it like what is even a mob in the first place mob mentality what like married to the mob like Michelle Pfeiffer? Like, what is this? Who is that? Ava's like, yeah, it's a really tough position. It's like such a thing of like, what's up with Brooks?

8:54Ben Mandelker: She just ends her sentence. Yeah. I think he needs to clarify. Is he not friends with Charlie because of Chloe last summer or maybe because of Charlie's current legal status? And Rowan's like, well, I feel the fact that you're still going on is like,

9:17Ben Mandelker: but he needs to clarify why he sprinted because i totally understand wanting to care about your reputation and charlie's not exactly the most brand safe right now it's just getting a little bit mean like oh poor charlie yeah but but by the way wasn't ava the one last season who was all about her brand anyway like i have to go to the hamptons for my brand yes so so then they start talking about with l 'oreal what was it in the hamptons it was something like that and so if uh they start asking like they're talking about a party a halloween party is around the corner um and uh they're gonna go to a party that is based off of the rocky horror picture show and shy is like yeah bring friends bring people like hudson's back in town it's exciting right and i think if like hudson comes and liam's there and he's just like if liam's flirting with Ariana in front of Hudson.

10:11Ben Mandelker: Do you guys think I should let Hudson know? The producer plant. It's so funny, too, when they showed him last week. He's just standing on the street. He's like, wait, should I tell them? No, I shouldn't tell them. The producers are like, tell them. He's like, no, no, I could do that, right? Could I do that? I could do that. See them getting talked up to go spill some tea and cause some mess. I thought it was funny that the producers included that. Pushing Shai to do it, and then him just looking terrified in the street like, can I be this messy? Okay. But I'm on TV. I'll do it. I'll do it. So then they're like, Rowan's like, well, I don't know if it's necessarily your place just yet.

10:53Ben Mandelker: Because no, you are under no obligation to say any of this. But when you're 20, you feel like everything's important. So Shai's like. He's like, well, I'm decently close. Like, I'm boys with Hudson, and I'm much closer to Hudson than I am with Liam, but not as close to Hudson as I am with Ariana. because since Hudson and Ariana broke up he's been trying to be friendly but like I don't know it's like he wants to be friends but like I don't know not to mention like going through a breakup in March of last year when I'm talking to him like I feel for him you know what I mean but like should I tell him it sounds like one of those logic problems you know I'm boys with Hudson and I'm closer to Hudson than I am with Liam but I'm not as close to Hudson as I am with Ariana who am I closest with it's like Lori lives in a purple house sam lives in a house that's next to the greenhouse the greenhouse is not next to the yellow house where's laurie you know that's what this that's what this whole i was like wait i for a moment i was like let me track this and i was like no i i'm not tracking this this is all stupid don't say anything you're having a party they can sort it out themselves ava says he should ask ariana how she wants him to deal with it because he's closer to her and he's like yeah but then she's obviously going to be like don't say anything so what do i do yeah then don't say anything.

12:07Ben Mandelker: So you then want, so clearly you want to say something. You just want everyone to say it's okay that you say something. Yes. You want validation for being messy. Yeah. Okay, so now we go to Liam who's going to get on his bike. He's like, yeah, I have a motor, this is the part where I motorcycle ride. Hey, hey, set of law and order. Hey, other set of law and order. I hope My chopper's not too loud for you. Vroom, vroom. Actor on a set of two wheels. Here we go. So doesn't he FaceTime with Brooks? And Brooks is like, hey, what are you doing? And he's like, yeah, hey, just on my motorcycle. He's like in a motorcycle home.

12:53Are you texting while you're on a motorcycle? Like, are you FaceTiming on a motorcycle? Please stop.

12:59Ben Mandelker: Yeah. And then Liam, for some reason, is like, it's crazy how fast time goes by. You know what I mean? And Brooks is like, yeah. Do you remember being alive in the 90s? He's like, no. I wish I did. Must have been cool. I was like, okay. I think I'm going to show off now. Well, it's kind of a diss from Brooks. It's kind of a diss from Brooks because he's like, do you even remember being alive in the 90s? That's hilarious. You're so old. Like last week when Charlie was like, Brooks is just an aging queen. He's like, you know, I get Brooks. like he's really insecure he's like an aging queen he's in home with all this brooks is like five years old to me well i know early meanwhile charlie has this like fucking phyllis diller wig on i don't even know what charlie is wearing his confessionals it's crazy is charlie growing a unibrow did you notice that i was like does he naturally have a unibrow because those eyebrows were like bold they were dark and they were closing in on each other and And I was like, has this always been his look?

14:01Ben Mandelker: Something that's a little different with Charlie. Oh, I don't know. But he's a little blonde kid, but his dad's a quarter Lebanese, right? Or he's a quarter. I think his dad is Lebanese, right? Anwar is. We need more of his dad. We need more Anwar. Where is he? Isn't his name Anwar? Was that his dad? Or is that in my head? It may have been. Something like that. Oh, man. I miss that relationship of his dad hating his son. That was beautiful. Yeah, Anwar Zekor. He was like, so, why don't you have good body like your only friend's roommate? Is it because you're lazy? He's like, dad. Oh, your roommate is jerking off onto the camera.

14:44And you think he's going to say something mean about it. And he's like, good for him working. Better than you, Luso.

14:52Ben Mandelker: He was great. And then his mom had that sensual boyfriend. They're like, you know they go and have tantric sex for six hours afterwards. Yeah. They're like, wow, we met each other when we were inside of each other for 10 hours in a row. It's like, okay, mom. Great. Great conversation. So Liam arrives at Ariana's house and he's like, whoa, how's your pumpkin bread? Is it pumpkiny? She's like, yeah, it's pumpkin banana bread. He's like, whoa. You know, America, I'm feeling pretty good going into building this wardrobe. I'm going to be honest with you, though. I got my tools. What else do I need?

15:31Ben Mandelker: An actor just has to follow the script. Am I right? Yeah, look, don't love to throw it around, but I'm an actor. So I can be a handyman. Who's that guy? Who was it? Home Improvements? What was that show? What was that guy? And the producer says, Tim Allen. And he goes, Tim Allen. No one's going to know who Tim Allen is. Cut that out. I was like oh Sir Tim Allen I think is in the number one movie right now Is he? Well isn't he the voices Isn't he like Toy Story 5 right? Is he not on Toy Story 5? Is he just in Toy Story 5? I forgot he was in that Last time I checked him Far be it for me to ever defend Tim Allen I'm generally never going to be someone who's going to Take a stance in favor of Tim Allen But for Liam I think it's taking a stance in favor of old people.

16:25You know? Yeah. Yeah, no one's going to know who that is. Tim Allen. Oh, good. Listen here, you spermatozoa.

16:33Ben Mandelker: It's better to be a has-been than it never was. So Ariana is... Watch out. I'm an actor who builds closets. Watch your fucking mouth. We'll see you on next season of Love Island. So Liam, there's their building stuff, and they're like, what do we do? It's so confusing. It's just like this Ikea wardrobe and they're just like totally befuddled by it. And then he's like, look, here's the thing. If I fuck up anything, I'll pay for it. Money is no object. When you're a volunteer firefighter at Lake George and your princess. So he eats her pumpkin bread. He's like, whoa, good pumpkin bread. Pretty good.

17:11I mean, it's got a little chew to it. It's like, oh my God, fuck off. Did she just fuck up a pumpkin bread? Because I don't love when people are like, I'm like a banana bread person. and they make a shitty banana bread. Because that's an art. But I work very hard.

17:27Ben Mandelker: I'm not expecting Ariana or anyone from the Kim Zolciak lineage to do a great pumpkin bread. But I also don't think that this guy should be making comments like it's got a nice chew to it either when he can't even build a simple Ikea box. I think he's just fucking with her, but still. So they look at this wardrobe and then they're talking about the weekend and she's not doing anything. And he's like, well, I'm having a little birthday party at my parents' house. Want to come, babe? She's like, oh my God, it's moving differently than I thought. I'm going to dinner with his family. I'm going to go to dinner and meet his family.

20:30well i think he's having a party at the parents house but i don't know so she's like oh my god is this like upstate oh go ahead no is liam gonna be one of those people who thinks his family's

20:40Ben Mandelker: the best. He probably will be. He'll be like, this is my brother, Chet. Oh my god, if you ever need someone to fix your lawnmower, he knows everything about it. He's amazing. And this is my mom. Oh my god, my mom is great. Oh man, the way that she can make a martini, oh, you have never seen it. It's basically going to be like What's-His-Face, the new guy from Southern Charm. Be like, my mom is basically an anarchist. Yeah, my mama, come to my family's farm. So he's like, whoa, no, no, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's not upstairs, Upper West Side. You can do it. You can do that. So she asked one of her dogs, do you like him?

21:27They're like, oh, my God. It's not Kim, so I'll take it. And then it's nighttime, and we see Ariana's doing her hair, and Riley's texting. and Georgia goes to a massage spot with her cousin, a foot massage thing or something. I don't know what they're doing. It's a massage thing or they get pedicure? It's just a foot massage.

21:51Ben Mandelker: And Riley's saying how she apologized to Georgia because even though we disagree and I don't like her much, I still think that the way I acted was out of character and felt like I need to own my mess. So it's never okay to act like that. And Georgia's saying, I think with Riley, with the whole situation alcohol was like such a big part of it and i do have like a lot of sympathy for making mistakes when you're drunk because like i've made quite a few and like the way i'm seeing it is like she wasn't in her right mind so i can absolutely like move on and give her a pass for this one and i'm like that actually this is like whatever give her a pass who cares so riley is telling us that she got really close with ariana quickly but they're still learning each other and they're in different places in their lives and it's really frustrating having to tell someone your needs but they won't know unless you tell them so yeah this one's this friendship's falling apart right now i'm telling you this is like those day one um those day one alliances on survivor when someone's like i just got a good vibe off you me too oh my god we're going to go all the way to the end and then by day three they're like why did i ally with this person went too fast too quickly yeah um so now and it's interesting because on real housewives of atlanta we see the fight between portia and shamia is about their mom you know it's ultimately about their moms like it comes down to their moms you know it's like a resentment that people just can't get past and then on this show you have someone from there who it's also like our moms hate each other and we're going to try and be friends and besties but ultimately it's just interesting how they're they're happening kind of at the same time although this one doesn't become they don't become enemies or anything yet but right it is it could work against them so then uh george's cousin gordon comes over to this foot massage place uh their mothers are sisters and they're like they say hi ask about the moms and everything etc and gordon's saying like well i know our moms have like a lot in common and i i don't know like sometimes i think about their childhood encounters with aliens because they all have this connection you know it then this is when georgia announces my mom and she my mom and she has three sisters they all to this day swear that they were abducted by aliens at some point in their childhood she's like yeah that's really quite the phenomenon if it's like true you know oh my god it so makes sense that georgia comes from georgia's dad could be an alien let's be honest yeah it was like wash hands like hand soap burns their hands or something see that's the thing if she had only washed her hands she might accidentally put her two fingertips together and stop time only she knew only she knew she has alien alien dna in her so she's talking about how um well he's he's like yeah i remember getting a call from you she's like yeah like when i was in cape town sobbing and you're like and he's like yeah and you're sobbing and you're like i'm stuck in singapore she goes yeah that motherfucker i swear so she goes yeah i don't know if i was transparent as much as i could have been about how traumatizing the last relationship i was in like a breakup coincided with like me like not knowing like what i wanted to do with like you know like not the rest of my life like the next two or three years of my life And then I got hit pretty bad with depression.

25:21Ben Mandelker: And then she starts talking about having an eating disorder. And it's been something that she has dealt with for many years. And that everything with the breakup was sort of a catalyst for it to come back, etc. She's like, yeah, I've got an eating. So I mentioned to you I have an eating disorder and I went to inpatient, right? And he's like, no, but I did read about it in People magazine. So there was that. She's like, yeah, yeah. he's like oh well i'm so sorry she's like oh no it's fine she he like tries like be like give her a hug she's like oh no don't worry about it but she basically starts talking about how um you know it's just yeah she talks about everything and she doesn't like to necessarily share things i guess is that what she was saying and then so she didn't like tell a lot of people that this is what she was going through but then it like came out yeah so they have a talk about depression and you know she says to herself sometimes like why can't I be normal he's like yeah we're intense people we come from people who have been like abducted by aliens Georgia she's like yeah I moved like seven times last year you know what I mean I'm like really mad at E.T.

26:31Ben Mandelker: because I heard that he's starting up a club club on a different planet and I'm like that was literally my idea I was so upset that the aliens started a planet called Planet Planet that that came from my mom did you hear that like dr spock started up a club called trek trek and i'm like that's not cool now we go to amira's place and she's with kevin they're having some breakfast and um now she gets a text from rowan with an inspiration boy for halloween and she's like yeah i don't know what the rocky horror picture show is i thought it was like the boxing guy but then that shouldn't be halloween themed i mean i don't know what is it so literal and then shy is like yeah um i don't know about you but like setting out like i've been setting out like a pinterest board and i've been like receiving like lots of confusion from everyone and so there's like a pinterest board where they're trying to figure out what rocky heart picture show is and they're like what is it is it about rocky road ice cream like they're so confused but the pinterest board is really confusing too because it's like here's a red feather boa here's a red lit room here's a you know a tricycle horn like what show them the poster of right you know just show them pictures from the movie rocky horror show well they're all so confused i think it's like an actual horror movie they don't know what it is and brooks is like i just heard rocky mountain chocolate factory and that sounds exciting to me they're just It's completely off the show.

28:06What kills me is this show is called Next Gen NYC, and Rocky Horror Show is playing on Broadway right now in their city. There's posters everywhere for Rocky Horror Show, and they're still like, blah. It's like for old people who even knows what that is. Come on.

28:24Ben Mandelker: They're so confused. They're so disinterested in the world around them. That's what's hilarious. Yeah. You're people of the internet. Can you just Google it? You're on your phone all day. Google it. Some of you are gay. You should just know what this is. Some of you went to NYU. If you went to NYU and you don't know what Rocky Horror is, I can't help you then. Does NYU have a special connection? Well, no. I just imagine it's like, doesn't Rocky Horror play in the village? Isn't it always playing in the village? I don't know where to... But I just imagine you're around college students in New York City.

29:02Ben Mandelker: you're inevitably going to be dragged to see Rocky Our Picture Show. I just feel like it's like there. There's film students around. There's just like an awareness. And like how do you not know? Let me see where it's playing in New York City. I'm mad. I'm going to go lecture them all. Let me send them all an email. It's on 54th Street. You kids. As I recall. Oh, you don't mean the show. You mean the movie? No, the show I think was on. Yeah, remember we stepped outside into their line that time. Yeah. Did you see it when you were there? Did you go watch the – No, no, no. I didn't see that. I saw it a million years ago on Broadway with Joan Jett.

29:37That's how old I am. Wow. You know? And then, of course, I've seen the movie and stuff. It's literally playing –

29:44Ben Mandelker: By the way, it's literally playing on like 8th Avenue between 16th and 17th. So, yeah, it's in like West Village area or like Chelsea. I'm sorry. It's all around where they live and they're still like, what is it? Yeah. So Amira's saying that she needs to clear the air with Charlie. And Georgia continues to bring it up. She doesn't know why she keeps bringing it up. But she's going to get to the bottom of it. Oh, now we go to Charlie and Shy playing pool. And so they're talking about, you know, this dude Hudson coming. And how this new guy, the actor guy, is pining over Ariana. Do I say something?

30:26And Charlie's like, yeah, say something. He's like, oh, my God, I got to tell him. right? Like, that's the right thing to do. Is that the right thing to do? Should I tell him? Should I tell him? Should I tell him? He's like, yeah, you should have already called him. I think I have sympathy for the situation that Hudson's going through with Ariana. Like, I don't know if Liam's Ariana's tight, but, you know, Shai wants to be the guy to tell him that, so be it.

30:49Ben Mandelker: So Charlie's like, so tell me more about, like, what the fuck I missed, because it sounded like it was a lot. And Shai's like, uh, what did Ariana and Amira say? He's like, yeah, they just said that George and Riley got into an argument that Riley was getting all like throwing shit or like throwing shit or some crazy shit like that. You know, I mean, like I don't really see that part. I mean, I don't even know what happened. I mean, I don't even know where we were. I mean, I didn't know there was even a fight. I mean, like when I pulled out to Boys Night, Brooks was like, I'm like, oh, I'm leaving this.

31:15Ben Mandelker: He's on this. Like, I'm going to leave this kind of stuff. And which I'm like, what? We talked about that. But I think that's like ridiculous. I was like, where is Brooks even going? Like, I didn't know that Brooks was even there in the first place. Like, I don't know anything. I'm like crazy. I'm just like oblivious. Sure.

31:29He's like, well, I think it might be the spring shit. Also, it might be that he doesn't want to get caught on camera hanging with you, which I think is like a thing.

31:37Ben Mandelker: I'd have to call it the spring shit. They can't say like the torture house. What, the shit that happened this spring? You know, stuff like that. And they're like, Charlie's like, yeah, Brooks is acting like a girl that I fucked and haven't texted afterwards. Oh, accurate description. and so so then Charlie so then Hudson comes in with his BP business partner Danny they're like bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra and they're talking about how they're gonna all go to this event and stuff and now they're playing pool and then we see Shai just spinning out we see all the voices in his head like should I tell him should I tell him should I tell him or should I not tell him should I tell him or should I not tell him like he's having this existential crisis over nothing and so uh she's like hey um so uh can i just say like tomorrow we're inviting ariana of course this like party and i hope you're like with that like because you're like chill with that he's like yeah bro me and ariana are very cool i know who else she's cool with it my bp danny it's his partner yeah okay well as your boy i want to let you know that leon's been hitting on ariana okay i'm just letting you know i'm your boy i'm your boy i'm your boy he's like what well I was very up front with Liam and I said yo you want to have a cordial relationship with me you need to understand the boundaries that I'm going to set right now boundaries don't fuck with my ex-girlfriend or you're never going to eat fried chicken in Atlanta again do you think it's a smart idea to start up with a guy who's got Jodie Foster hair I don't think so so Shia's like whoa so wait what's going on with that well I just was like don't fuck with my ex-girlfriend and then Liam can try all he wants.

33:21Ben Mandelker: But I don't think that Ariana is going to go from me to dating some guy who rides horses for a living. High five. Get my BP over here. There is a hand in the air that needs to be slapped because that was a sick burn. What a douche. He's like, yeah, she's going to go from a billionaire to a horseback rider.

33:43Ben Mandelker: He's like, if I walk in and Liam's like snuggling on a fucking booth with my ex-girlfriend. Yeah. I'm going to crash out. God. So,

33:59Charlie comes over and he's like, wow, he told me Liam was trying to make a move on Ariana. He's like, yeah, supposedly. She's like, well, I was just letting you know because we're going to be at this Rocky Horror tomorrow. So, I was just giving him the heads up. I mean, he's been blatantly obvious. He's kind of pissed. He's like, yeah he's trying to fuck your ex-girlfriend is what he's trying to say. He's like oh yeah well he can try all he wants to me me he's a sugar cube horse rider yeah

34:29Ben Mandelker: this kid does not intimidate me in the slightest I was like okay you seem a little intimidated my friend he's like yeah I don't think you're gonna come in here and fuck my ex-girlfriend and that's gonna be like a thing and that you're gonna try and like one up me or some shit because I'm rich yeah you can't one up me i took a plane so shy's like oh man oh this is the last thing that i i would have said to hudson in this moment and i would have like i wouldn't have said it to charlie the way charlie said it that's for sure oh my god things went wrong whoops um so then we go to shy and rowan's party and everyone's getting ready at ariana's you know getting their costumes and stuff together so then riley comes over and they're like riley are you gonna get ready with us she's like no i'm not gonna go to the party i have an early flight tomorrow i'm gonna leave you know i'm gonna i'm just gonna go i just wanted to see you guys before i leave and so she is like okay well we're gonna get changed so you guys have the talk and they scoot the hell out of there and just leave ariana and riley yeah so uh ariana's like um riley says you know i definitely want to talk to you about the situation on friday because i mean you know me like that's not my character at all you know and like georgia antagonizes me a lot so i feel like it's both of like our parts i need to acknowledge that and just hold myself accountable and now going forward i will not hold myself accountable i'm gonna hold you accountable instead because that's just what i want to do you know i reached out and i acknowledged my part in it but like my hometown friends would never let it even get to the point that it got to yeah oh no not a good move for this that's not good and ariana is like but you weren't listening to me because i was giving you pizza and water and stuff to try and get you to like maybe sober up like it's a little bit rude to say that i haven't had your back and you're comparing me to your hometown friends and riley's like but i never said that but yeah you did yes you implied it very heavily she's like but i feel like you're i feel like the way that you're like getting at right now is like you're i'm expecting you to be like my hometown friends and like they would never let me get to that point because i never said you oh god rightly she's doing one of these things so aria's like uh okay my bad ariana's actually being so level-headed like there's so many times i was like oh this is gonna turn left because they're not going to hear each other but ariana's like okay you can restate that never mind that was my fault for not hearing that it's like okay riley's like well i'm just saying for me i feel like you you should know me enough to where if she's into antagonizing me you should stop in the middle and make sure she's not she's like well she wasn't really coming at you very hard though she's like but was she not antagonizing me she's like well not to the extent that you're making it seem yeah i think ariana's being pretty soft here too because she could be saying you were antagonizing her all night.

37:30What are you talking about? You antagonize her every time we hang out. And Riley's like, well, I'm not trying to victimize myself. I mean, I did what I did and I shouldn't have done it. But like we have different definitions of support, you know, and I don't want to feel like everyone has someone there except for me. One thing my mom loves is to bargain hunt. She will go to a garage sale, to a flea market, any old sale at the mall. I'm taking her from sale to sale to sale to sale. And I finally found someplace online that I can just park her and she'll have the time of her life. And that is Whatnot.

38:04Ben Mandelker: Whatnot is an app that does live shopping. There's a whole community there on Whatnot.

39:38The best memories come from stepping outside of your little bubble and being open to the unexpected. And what better way to be open to the unexpected than finally booking that trip to Europe? You guys know I'm a Delta girly. Every time I go, I get my Delta headphones. And when I fly to Europe, Delta treats me like a queen and they'll treat you too. I was always a little nervous about navigating a foreign country, but then I realized it's so important to grow and see different cultures and to put yourself in different situations. And Delta held my hand the whole time. Being away just helps you put life into perspective and your little worries are not so bad.

40:18Travel really is the best way to discover something new about yourself and grow from the experience. Step outside your comfort zone this summer, get some Delta headphones and fly with Delta Airlines. They truly are the best way to get to Europe and they just make the whole journey feel so comfortable and seamless. Go book your next chapter right now at delta.com.

40:40Ben Mandelker: so hariana's like girl i'm always there and i find it a little bit rude that you're thinking saying that i'm not to say that i'm not is like she was like i didn't say that you're not there i'm saying that everyone has someone and the person that i have just happens to be invisible and doesn't speak but is physically there it's like but what i'm trying to say is it's not that you're not there for me. It's just that you're always, um, like in a different part of the room and I'm looking in a different direction. And so therefore you're not there for me when I'm there. She's like, no, you literally just said everybody has someone except for me, but I'm right here.

41:17Like, if you want me to do it better, just let me know how to do it better. She goes, but you could support me by actually being there for me instead of waiting and just let, letting people talk to me crazy like you're gonna just let that happen and i would never do that for you and she's like no i'm not gonna let that happen but nobody was really talking very crazy to riley i mean i think the whole group georgina was like but what about that ketamine again but even she wasn't like what the fuck are you talking about ketamine you know even she was like what do you mean like said i was on ketamine i think the whole group was actually pretty nice for a reality show you know they could really push you to look as stupid as possible but i think i'm being so nice here too she is it's interesting because riley comes from one of the most sensible people we've seen on bravo candy and um ariana comes from kim who's one of the most out there people we've ever you know and i wonder if dealing with someone who's cuckoo bird like kim makes you it gives you that like no this is what we're discussing right now and this is what you just said you know because you're constantly having to do that with someone like kim probably is your right you know

42:37Ben Mandelker: it's almost like she has to be the adult of that relationship whereas riley since riley doesn't have to be the adult necessarily so riley's like no i'm just saying like you know she antagonizes me every single time. And you know, people are not going to view it that way. So why wouldn't you like just say something or stop it before it even started? And I was like, I tried to. She goes, but you keep doing this over and over again. It's not fair. She's like, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm trying to ask you what I'm doing. She's like, no, you're not doing enough. That's the bottom line. She's like, okay, I'm sorry.

43:09Ben Mandelker: Like I really tried that night to make sure to support you or be on your side. And I'm sorry that you didn't feel that for me. And that was not my goal. And And I can only learn going forward. I was like, wow. Normally this takes seven episodes on a Real Housewives show for them to get from the initial misunderstanding to the fight to the six different attempts at apologizing and figuring it out to then this conversation. I was like, wow, you all did it in one scene in the same episode. Yeah, I think what Riley's trying to say, you know, she's still thinking about last season, you know, and everything that went down with Charlie and Georgia last season, you know.

43:48And so she's still thinking of that. And like, you know, these people were going to go out and they're going to try and start with something with me and then try and make me look crazy or whatever. and I think she's just still stuck in that which I don't really blame her but she's taking that into this thing where in this one she was clearly wrong you know but her feelings about it are not necessarily wrong because she doesn't like Georgia and Charlie for pretty clear things from last year you know what I mean and everybody's just like okay you get over it and you go to you go to another season and everyone's forgiven and you start but she doesn't really you know i mean riley will give you satis riley riley will give you side eye whether or not she you know she's like a side eye person so if she does get upset or doesn't like you you know the side eye is going to be probably tripled for a while i think riley picks up on things a lot and and that's why i was

44:53Ben Mandelker: and they're little passive aggressive things that are so, so low key. You could miss them if you're not really paying attention, but Riley hears them all and she feels them all. And so I think she feels them on a larger proportion than they're coming off to everyone else. And so that's why she's like, this is crazy. Like, it feels like you don't have my back, but to everyone else, it's just not landing in the same way. And so, you know, but she's also like, Riley was being the bigger asshole that night. she was even before this all happened so i think that like ariana is just trying to kind of like navigate it and um you know basically she's like you know riley's like i just i know how shit gets spun and you weren't raised like me and i don't know how this shit gets you know this should be turned but i just sometimes feel like this shit is unfair and that's why i just take it on the chin and just move forward and i'm not sure if when she's saying that if there she's bringing if she's sort of talking about a racial dynamic that's at play here, because that's gotta be probably also an element in here as well.

45:58Ben Mandelker: And Ariana's just like, look... Well, that's what I mean by last season because the thing well, it started with, like, you don't wash your hands, right? But then when they went on their vacation or whatever, wasn't it to Charlie's family's house or wherever they were? It was like the beach house. Gia's beach house. No, it was Gia's house. Yeah, it was Gia's beach house or whatever. And Wasn't it Georgia who was like, why are you angry? Yeah, there was a lot of that. And there came a discussion about how you talk to black women and having a black friend in your group and the sensitivities that you have and stuff like that.

46:33So I think she's kind of like, well, you know that that happened last season and those are the people I'm dealing with this season. And you know they're going to try and make me look stupid and it's going to get spun that I'm like this crazy black woman. That's how I'm taking it.

46:46Ben Mandelker: That's how I took it too. And also, there's a lot more pressure for her to behave a certain way when she's upset that she probably is trying to navigate. And so it's obviously got to be very, very frustrating. So Ariana's like, look, but you should be able to express how you feel no matter what. And I'm telling you, this is a safe place. And I'm sorry that I haven't known you for 10 years and I can't read your brain. And she's like, it's not your fault. It's my fault. I should never have even let that get that far. And she's like, it's my fault that I didn't stop you beforehand. And you can always tell me how you feel.

47:19Ben Mandelker: And I can only learn if we talk about it and we get through these things. I was like, this is a very mature conversation. I feel like they're both listening to each other. I was like, wow. You guys know you're on a reality show, though. You guys are supposed to be a little bit more self-interested and obnoxious to each other, right? Like, come on. Yeah. And Ariana, I think, has a good point when she – and it's a good reminder, I think, to the audience when she's like, it's not like you're 45 years old and you're just screaming at a girl for no reason. Like we're 23, we're figuring it out That's true They're babies Riley is saying that everything When they met, they became so close so quickly But they haven't really relearned each other yet So they hug And, you know, agree that they're gonna work on it for next time And now it's time for the Rocky Horror Show Dun, dun, dun Next time On the Valley yeah all right well fun times we'll see how this all plays out that was a really fun episode i really enjoyed it it was very fun and funny and uh we'll see how these wacky kids navigate the crazy world of the rocky horror picture show um until then thanks everyone for being here let us know what you think about anything by commenting on our instagram etc that's at watch what crappens on instagram and we'll catch you on the next episode bye everyone bye watch what crappens would like to thank its premium sponsors.

53:35Ben Mandelker: This is going to be an extremely busy month. I have to watch 104 soccer games, follow the pregame, the postgame, yell useless opinions at the TV. It's a lot. So I knew that when it comes to screening for colon cancer, the choice was clear. The Cologuard Plus Test. It can be used at home and can only take 15 minutes, so I can do it during halftime and not miss any action. If you are 45 or older and at average risk, ask your healthcare provider about screening for colon cancer with the Cologuard Test. You can also request a prescription at Cologuard.com.
