Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip S503 “Bushwhacked” centers on Kyle’s 20th-anniversary White Party in Beverly Hills, with nonstop entrances, party chaos (power outage, glam in the dark, Luann’s zipline performance), and heavy social fallout—especially Salt Lake City women splitting into factions over alleged lies and cheating/ticket rumors.
The episode features multiple Housewives across franchises (Beverly Hills, New York, Atlanta, and Salt Lake City). Key recurring figures discussed include Kyle Richards (longest consecutive BH run), Lisa Vanderpump (not present, referenced via clips), Teresa Giudice (facetiming Melania), Vicky Gunvalson (injured/“cramp”), Giselle Bryant and Portia Williams (Potomac/Atlanta), Whitney and Bronwyn (Salt Lake City), Meredith Marks (Salt Lake City), Luann de Lesseps (NYC), Erica Jayne (Erika Girardi referenced), plus Sutton, Teddy, Dorit (declines), Camille, Eileen, Denise, Crystal, and others.
Whitney and others are accused of “non-truths” and burning bridges; Lisa Barlow is targeted with cheating/ticket-for-sex allegations; Erika and Luann’s past BravoCon rudeness/ghosting is addressed; Dorit’s absence is framed as a refusal to move past “our situation.”
Luann’s angel-wing zipline mishap; Erika’s frosty “laser eyes” moment with Luann; Giselle confronting Whitney/Meredith dynamics; montage of Housewives singing off-key; Luann and Erika finally “make up” by comparing Tom-related trauma.

4:37Ben Mandelker: How exciting. It's a bottle episode. All took place at the white party, at Kyle's famous white party. Just all there, one big party. Yes, and I've been calling it white people party for years, and I was cracking up that Portia called it white people party. I felt hurt. Yep. That's a good old 15 years we've been saying that or whatever. How long has that show been on? 15 years, right? About 15 years, I think. 16? A little bit longer. I think it started in 2009. Well, we should know because we're going to see about 90 ,000 clips from it today. Yes. So we're at Beverly Hills and Glam. Kyle's getting glam.
5:28Ben Mandelker: And Kyle's checking in on what the temperature is going to be. in Atlanta because that's where they're going next. And then Kyle starts talking about the white party tonight. And she's like, I've been doing white parties since 2004. Okay. 10 minutes later after all the clips. And it was like originally for like Mo and Alexia's birthdays. And it just like grew so big. It was like overwhelming. I really thought like I would never do another one again. Since the last white party I did was at SoFi Stadium. has anyone else here done a party at sofi stadium no just me okay but since this is the 20th anniversary of the housewives i thought if i'm gonna have a party it's going to be a white party yeah kyle's white party that sofi stadium one was sad remember that was kind of it was one it was like people stuck in the middle of this giant vast empty place also sofi stadium generally is pretty far from i think where every i don't know i would complain the whole time also it was kyle's party and your entertainment was erica so yeah i don't know it's like it's a weird thing like you had a bunch of people in this party space so i feel like that's cool but then you sort of see this big stadium around you and i can't tell does that like augment it or just emphasize how vast it is and how many more people you could have had we're just a speck of dirt on this world you know it's one of those parties you look around you're like god wait there's I'm so alone someone else had a party at a stadium this season this summer and they packed them in talking of course about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey everyone I mean come on I'm very ignorant Tay Tay so she's like you know I have emotional moments because of my anniversary, but I'm looking forward to the distraction.
7:24You know, it's going to be fun. Also, it's the 20th anniversary and I am the longest running consecutive housewife, so I really need to bring it.
7:31Ben Mandelker: Really need to bring it. Yeah. People are loving Kyle this season, by the way. I'm like, I think she's fine, but people are loving her. So, then we see Lisa's getting ready. She's like, oh my god, I can't believe we blew a flews. Guess what? We're in the dark right now. Are you kidding me? We're in the Beverly Hills with no power and we're like glamming with like a flashlight i'm like well it's not like city glam so it's probably an improvement then we cut over to teresa who's facetiming with melania and she's like uh hey melania uh i got the letter you sent me that's all uh letters from magazines cut into words i i don't read it very well i was like give me your give me the fucking money or louis You just see her like with Louie in a chokehold.
8:25Ben Mandelker: Then we go to Vicky's room and Vicky's like, she's like, I got, I got like cramp. Oh my God. I got, you know, it's hard to do everything for myself. Oh my God. I got like ramp. I got. So she's injured, even just getting glam somehow. And then Giselle goes over to see Lisa and Teresa. and she's like, it's going down tonight, ladies. So Kyle does something where now, she does it a few times in this episode, but she keeps referencing people that she doesn't like and don't like her as kind of classics, which cracks me up. And the whole episode, they're like, wasn't this the most fun part of Beverly Hills?
9:04And almost every clip is Lisa Vanderpump. And I loved it. I loved that for Kyle. Yeah.
9:13Ben Mandelker: Kyle starts making fun of Dorit doing her pose against the window. Kyle loves making fun of that. And then. Everything she brings up to reference is like something, something iconic somebody else did. It's just very Kyle, you know? Yeah. So now the women meet up downstairs. They're ready to go to Kyle's, but Luanne's not there because she's already at Kyle's and she's actually, she's trying on some angel wings. She's like, okay, boys, put on the angel wings. And she's like, I kind of feel like it's Victoria's secret right now. Well, guess what Victoria's secret is that her mother is a Capra star.
9:50Ben Mandelker: That's right. Victoria Dilla steps. I'm talking about. Yeah. I wore a boy shirt today because the harness is going to go here and the skirt's going to cover that. All this chill business. That's what we do. Girls. It's the 20th anniversary. We've got to do something really grand. So it's going to be big and fabulous. I've cooked up a great surprise for the lady. What everybody wants. Me singing. Me singing. That's right. For the 20th anniversary, we're going to do something big and fabulous. Or just me floating in on a low-speed zipline and dancing with a bunch of people dressed like bushes.
10:33It was so camp. I loved it. Although the zipline, you know, I get it. like let's fly Luann in but they had curtains and then the zip line was up this ladder so she climbs up this huge ladder to come down the zip line but then by the time she gets past the curtain she's almost already on the ground you barely see her I know you just kind of see her sliding across the ground which is a very funny
10:56Ben Mandelker: harness for like half the song I'm like is anyone going to release her from that like no it makes her sing better um That's the only way we can tighten or die a fram. Okay. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappens commercial. I have a giant deck outside and needed to furnish it and was worried about getting things that matched and getting things from different stores and making it all work together. Well, it ended up all working out beautifully with Wayfair. I got every piece out there from Wayfair. I got couches. I got chairs. I got tables with chairs. I got heat lamps.

Every weekend, it's come over for snacks, let's make dinner together, and somehow the second you put out a fruit platter, it seems that bugs show up before your friends do. This is why I have to have my Zeevo flying insect trap. You plug it in and you let it do all the work.
13:03It's specially designed blue and UV light attracts the bugs you didn't know you had. And wow, did we have a lot. Like house flies, fruit flies, gnats. And then with Zeevo, bam. Next thing you know, the pests are caught in the sticky cartridge and away from your yummy treats without any mess or strong odors. The best part is the design is actually sleek and curved so it hides the bugs it catches keeping them out of sight and when the cartridge is full you just grab the no mess tab throw it in the trash pop in a new cartridge and then you're done no mess no stress so whether you're hosting a dinner party or spending an afternoon baking treats with all your friends and you want to focus on hosting and not constantly swatting at bugs zevo has you covered with 24 7 bug protection plug in a zevo flying insect trap so you can work smarter, not harder, and actually enjoy your time at home.
13:57Ben Mandelker: So then people start to arrive at the white party and get excited, everyone, because if you enjoy entrances, this show has many of them. You want to watch a housewife walk in, but you want to watch another one walk in, and then another, and then another, you're in luck. Here it is. Yeah. And it starts with Eric. With their big lines. Erica comes in and we cut to her going, or what? Or what? Then Sutton comes in. Name him, name him, name him. And then Teddy comes in. Oh, I'm Teddy.
14:32It's a thrill. A lot of people walking in.
14:37Ben Mandelker: And Sutton's like, well, it better get colder because my jacket's part of my outfit. I like that she's still furious about something. and then Teddy's like, hi, I'm Teddy. Kyle, you look stunning. I'm obsessed with the hair. It's like, oh yeah, this. And this dress I'm wearing, I have it in black for the homeless not to this event. Remember that? Did I say it right? I always get it wrong. Isn't that funny? Roll the clip of me getting it wrong, everyone. Can you believe it? So we see clips of that and then everyone starts showing up and we see Eileen and we see Camille. They give us a very long pernicious clip, which I did appreciate.
15:12Ben Mandelker: Camille saying like, these women are just like they're just pernicious they're just so pernicious yeah it's it's pernicious it's it's pernicious of course if they were really if they were really kind they would have played the ultimate camille that we're gonna be celebrating somebody else's yeah on the same day that we hear about our friends uh split so upsetting i know all these years later that is still one of the funniest clips ever if you've never heard us play that clip before the beauty in it is the way that camille starts a sentence but doesn't know what to do with it so marisa just decides to take the reins and he just crafts his sentence of his own and then she tries to keep up and she can't and then she just winds up on this sort of generic sentiment i'm gonna play it again that we're gonna be celebrating somebody else's yeah the same day that we hear about our friends split.
16:08It's so upsetting. I know.
16:17So Camille's asking Eileen how it is to be back, and she's like, um, interesting. Yeah, well, last time I saw you here, Lisa Rinna was screaming at me. That wasn't a fun night for me then, but this is gonna be fun. This one's gonna be fun, right, girls? And then we see Crystal come in, and Denise. Bravo, Bravo, fucking bravo, Kyle! And Kevin Lee's even there. What's that?
16:46Ben Mandelker: He represents Lisa Vanderpump, I believe. Yeah, Lisa Vanderpump's like, no! They didn't have Lisa Vanderpump. They didn't have Lisa Rinna. They didn't have Garcelle. They were kind of missing a lot. I feel like you need to bring everybody out here. But we had Adrian. Adrian was having a great time. She just had this smile on her face. She's like, wow, big, big year for me with Bravo. First, I get to be on Atlanta. Now here I am. And she's just sitting there smiling like the FAO Schwartz clock left to right, left to right. Wow. Yeah, this is great. Great to be back. Where's Jackpot the dog? Right.
17:27Ben Mandelker: Remember? Flashback. No, you don't want to take my flashback cue. That's okay. Just happy to be here. me adrian maluk my husband's an asshole okay paul shut up paul adrian's back iconic adrian yanks i remember um really nothing about her season except they showed her washing the chicken and she i remember she hated paul so lisa is talking to theresa and vicky and she's they're in there i think they're on their way and lisa's like ah is there anyone you don't want to see tonight or is like are you like good with everyone and teresa's like yeah i don't have any like um problem with like no other housewives so like i'm like pretty good here you know and uh lisa's upset because some of her cast members will be there uh-oh dun dun dun and she's been doing so well on this show everybody likes her um and giselle talks to portia and she's like what are we feeling about tonight are we getting the energy yeah it's like well i remember you know she was doing that all-white party and you know she was hugged up on mauricio i saw that one and um giselle's like oh yes i saw it would you remember when she made that woman get off her husband and then we see the clips of kyle being like get off of my husband get off of him and they just like laugh at how kyle just like tore that woman off of off of off of mauricio so now we see kyle saying hi to adrian and camille and kyle's like oh my god i'm like trying not to touch everybody too much because of all the all the way but like 20 years of housewives isn't that like crazy and to know that i've been consistently on the show all this time adrian what's it like to not be on it consistently and just like try to claw your way into these scenes that's fun adrian's like yeah i know i can't believe it remember 15 15 years ago yeah 15 years ago wow and you know they had these they had our photos season one like down in orange county and i was like oh my god i look disgusting that i was just like wearing some hideous one shoulder dress like who would even wear something as awful as that right guys oh you mean like the dress that i'm wearing right now kyle whoops oh like the dress that camille is wearing right now it's like uh one strap but it's actually quite stylish like you know fashion trends go out but they come back in they come back around again it looks nice obsessed so upsetting so everyone arrives and we just hear meredith now you're drinking them what's that remember she's right whenever camille kisses someone she can't even make her lips go so she's like
20:13just kind of hits their face at the side of her face and her eyes are like half closed
20:22She's the best. She's my favorite kisser on all of Housewives. So everybody arrives and we hear Meredith like. Camille's talking to Kevin Lee and we don't hear their whole conversation. We just hear her going, yeah, I changed my body a little. I made a few adjustments. So did he. But I love that that's the conversation in Beverly Hills. Like, what do you have done? What do you have done? Looks great. Yours too. Are you healed yet?
20:50Ben Mandelker: So then Lisa's so excited. She's going to a Beverly Hills party. She's like, oh my gosh, we're arriving at Kyle's. This is when I hang out with Ben and Blake. Wow, the white party. I've seen it on TV before. It just looks amazing. I'm like, you live in Salt Lake City. You've been to probably many white parties. Yeah, I know. It's like the set of your show. It's everything white. It's Angie K's house. So they're all excited to be there. And Portia's like, oh, this is cool. I mean, I'm at Kyle's white people party tonight. I mean, so everybody's whining and giving each other kisses and stuff. And someone on Lou's team is like, oh, my gosh, Lou, be careful with your wings.
21:34Be careful. They're smacking everywhere. They're going to be broken before we even get out there. It's like, watch it. Wings coming through. Watch out, Kyle.
21:42Ben Mandelker: Because she's like looking for something and she's like just frantically like left and right. And her wings are like coming close to knocking over Kyle's like little house in the prairie photos and memorabilia. She's like, what? Huh? Sorry. You don't tell a cabaret star what to do with her wings. So Erica meets Porsche and she's like, wow, look at you. Such a hot bitch. And Lisa, Lisa's like, oh my God, there's Meredith. And then comes in Bronwyn nodding all the way. She's like, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. It's still me, Bronwyn. I'm still making the Bob work harder than any Bob has ever worked before.
22:18Ben Mandelker: She's on a mission to make everyone leave this party with a bob. She's like, Kyle thinks it's a white party? It's a bob party. Okay. So Kyle's like, oh my God, that's Bronwyn, right? From Salt Lake City, right? That's from Salt Lake. Kyle, don't act like you don't know who she is. So Trees is like, oh my gosh, he looked like a snowflake, right? And Kyle's like, yeah, that's like the perfect outfit for this. Because it's like snowflake, it's like white. Because a white party. They're like really drawing some deep, profound connections here. Really, really interesting patter. Yeah, Giselle's talking to Meredith.
22:51And she's like, so were you not speaking to Whitney? What's up? And Meredith's like, well, I don't ever not speak to anybody, but I don't necessarily seek anybody. You know, if I'm not seeking for the person, that's all I have to say about that.
23:10Ben Mandelker: And Giselle's like, got it, dah. And this goes, yeah, watch our reunion. Okay, watch our reunion. Or you can just like wait and just like imagine the clip they're going to roll right now. And there's the clip. So yeah, they don't like us. And so Giselle's like, Portia. Portia and I do know Whitney and we went to Thailand together. So now we'll have a clip of that. Man, this white party has a lot of clips. More so than the other episodes. And Portia's like, yeah, it's kind of a weird position to be in because we like Whitney. and like, but I became friends with Lisa so fast. And so like, I'm coming to find out they're not even speaking on speaking terms.
23:47Like what are you supposed to do? Like, that's not cool. Yeah, and Faye's here as well, doing nothing as usual, but she's here. And then Kyle's talking to some people. Mo's arrived and they say hello. He's like, wow, the house looks so beautiful. I thought you were gonna like, you know, do like another wedding or something like that. Yeah, surprise, Mo, surprise. Yeah, that would be actually great. Could you please, just please do it? Yeah.
24:17Ben Mandelker: This would be like the first one. I'll even bring you the person. Just please, please do it. Guys, it's time to have like a reflective moment about this white party because there's something really deep and important about it. Kyle tells us, this would be like the first white party that I've thrown on my own without Mo. I'm like, Mo, you throw them all on your own. I'm going to tell you that right now. I still remember the one where he showed up in like shorts and like a t-shirt and she was like, get upstairs and get changed. So she's like, yeah, no one cares about Mo. We care about Glenn. Where is Glenn?
24:47The party? Where is Glenn? Where is the fat burger truck? That's, that's what made these white parties iconic. And that's it. Glenn and the fat burger truck, Kyle.
24:56Ben Mandelker: Yeah. And like, I was actually totally down, um, on the Beverly Hills season that just ended when Kyle had some reflective moments of like, you know, I'm on my own now. I've got to do this. say I used to do the stuff with Mo and now I'm single and it's just weird. I'm navigating my new life. I was like, I'm down. That's real. That's she's going through that. But now it's like, this is my first time I've thrown a hugely self-indulgent party with my famous friends without Mo. And I just don't know. It feels weird. It's like, okay, okay. That's fun. Also, where's Rachel Zoe? How about that? Jennifer.
25:29I mean, there's a, there's just, there's so many people missing. Uh, so we're bouncing between different convos and, And Eileen, Eileen's combo. Oh, yeah. People are asking me, what's more difficult, reality or scripted? And I'm like, are you kidding me? Reality, of course. You just never know what you're going to get. Oh, yes. Yeah. People questioning me day in, day out about my scripted career versus my reality.
25:59Ben Mandelker: Was Eileen the one who became possessed by the devil on days? Or is that that was Marlena? No, that was Marlena. Yeah, Eileen is the one who played, she was like Orphan Black of that show. She played Kristen. Well, this is Days of Our Lives I'm talking about. She played a girl named Kristen, Kristen DiMera, Stefano's daughter. She was really Eva. And then Kristen turned out to have a twin who was like a real dork with thick glasses and buck teeth. Her name was Susan. Go on, Kristen. And then we found out that there was a triplet. and then there was a quadruplet and then I don't know how many people she ended up playing but it was hilarious.
26:40She was so great. I'm still a huge fan of hers from Days of Our Lives. Real Housewives, not so much. She tried my patience on Real Housewives with her constant need for an apology from Lisa but I loved her on Days of Our Lives.
26:54Ben Mandelker: I loved her on this, honestly. I know you and others were annoyed that she was like, I just want an apology but I just liked her kind of waspy vibe i was i was into it and again um but she says um you know with regarding reality she goes i've learned so much about people what they'll do to stay relevant which to me sounded like a dig at rinna is did you get that vibe no no i think she's still friends with rinna don't you think i have no idea i just sort of assume anyone anytime anyone makes like a dig like says something like that that um no what they well what they got at least what the show meant was luann because she's like oh it's so sad what people do to stay relevant cut to luann get my wings on girls right well we're gonna do our number i thought that was so fucking yeah you may be right about that i just am always looking for shit on the rock luann but the show definitely did they're like a striking up desperate luann climbing up an a-frame ladder
27:54Ben Mandelker: this night is very special because i know there's a lot of housewives in beverly hills present and past not so crazy about seeing erica jane though because you know we kind of had a beef and we see a flashback to bravo con when andy was like luan you said in one of your recent cabaret shows that to read and erica were the rudest housewives erica anything you'd like to No, I'm good. I'm good. Well, Irka Jane and I had known each other for quite a while. And we had a dinner with her and her husband. And, you know, I thought she was a friend. And then every time after that, I reached out. She just never wrote me back.
28:32She ghosted me. I would write her back and say, hey, can I stay in your house? I'm going to be in. Okay. Well, hey, can I borrow your car? Hey, you have a 20? Don't leave my cigarettes at your house. Just ghosted me. Completely ghosted me. I don't get it. I don't get it.
28:49Ben Mandelker: I noticed, by the way, that Erika Jayne was introduced as Erika Girardi as she walked on, as she arrived at the party. She's normally introduced as Erika. I guess they don't show her full name too much on screen anymore, right? Remember when they used to be like, there's Erika Jayne and Erika Girardi. And she went, hi, I'm Erika Jayne. This is Erika Jayne. Fun loving. Extremely popular in gay clubs. I'm a superstar. And this is Erica Girardi. Hi, I'm Erica Girardi. Totally different from Erica Jane. You're the same. You're exactly the same. So Sutton's talking to Teresa, just barely tolerating this conversation, I'm sure.
29:35Ben Mandelker: She's like, so, ma 'am, how did you pack for this whole thing? And Teresa's like, I got five suitcases. Really? You need that many suitcases for a catering uniform? Oh, okay. Never mind. I was going to ask you for another kebab. Camille is telling Vicky, congrats. She's like, oh, I heard you're going to go back. You're going back to your show. She's like, yeah, well, I hope I have the strength to get it. Keep your phone on. I might need you. I might need you. And Camille's like, yeah, you know, anytime. Anytime you need to call me, I'll be there. I'll be there to help out. Yeah, no problem. Yeah, she'll be there for you anytime that you need it.
30:19Yeah, yeah. She'll call you on the phone. You know, if you need her, she'll be there. If you want her, she'll be there. She's Camille. She'll be around.
30:27Ben Mandelker: Camille and around and so upsetting. So Lisa is talking to Portia and Portia's saying she's going to Salt Lake. She's like, oh, my God, before the end of March, you have to come out. I'm going to get your skates out. I'm going to get skates out since your house. and then, like, you're gonna be on the bunny hell in one day? I know you're an athlete. Like, I die. It's gonna be grating you on the bunny hell. Well, as I survey the land, these Salt Lake girls won't come ten feet near each other. They're not acknowledging each other whatsoever. And we see they're on different sides of the party. People aren't speaking to people and people are ignoring people.
31:08Ben Mandelker: So, you know, Giselle has got to get to the bottom of it. Of course. So Giselle's going to go start some mess. She goes to Whitney and Giselle and asks them what's going over there. What's going on with them? Like, why are some of them separate? And Bronwyn's like, are you surprised to see that division? I mean, come on. Lisa, she did mention you were telling non-truths about her. Oh, she said Whitney was telling non-truths? Well, that's a lie. That's actually a lie. That's a huge, huge lie. No, it's not. Whitney's always been a fucking liar about stuff she's come up with. I like that they showed all the clips of Whitney being like, Yeah, so there's this guy with the sports team and then Lisa to get her tickets for the sport.
31:55Snap to it. Get it out, Whitney. She sleeps with the guy just for jazz. Just for jazz.
32:03Ben Mandelker: So Whitney is like, So is that what Lisa's leading with? because she's wasting her girl's trip time talking about that. And Robin's like, well, see, we just met five seconds ago, but I'd have my guard while fucking up if I were you, yourself. And also consider a Bob. They're fun. Trust me. Next thing you know, you're going to be the liar. So then now Portia's talking to Lisa and she's like, well, I think it's so crazy that there's people you don't even like. I mean, you're fun loving Lisa. Everybody loves Lisa. And she's like, it takes a lot to get me there. I mean, it really does. You know, I just see such a different life than those girls.
32:46It's like completely different, you know? And Portia's saying, did they talk about husbands? She goes, oh yeah, we talk about husbands. And we see clips of Whitney. That clip where Whitney's like, oh yeah, I have proof. Read my text about it, Lisa. It's like, okay, I'm going to read this. so I was making out with John Barlow while Lisa was giving him a handoff what the hell is this Whitney
33:14Ben Mandelker: they get so crazy on that show what the hell and Portia's like yeah they said that you're cheating for tickets she goes yeah tickets like money that like makes me a prostitute so Portia's like well the Lisa that I met is like a little baby gorgeous princess she's like sweet and I don't know her to have like a freaky side but you know I would have to get all up and through their business because you're not about to talk about me licking hot dogs for tickets. Definitely not. So Giselle's like, but I see her and Meredith are back to being cool, Whitney. And Whitney's like, Giselle, no one in Salt Lake City is speaking to, um, line?
33:56Them. No one in Salt Lake is speaking to them? Thank you. Yeah, they're royal pieces of shit. Royal pieces of shit. burnt every bridge with everybody basically everybody hates him
34:08Ben Mandelker: burned every bridge with everyone I'll just answering with just questions repeating what they're saying right back Giselle's like wow I thought they were going to be like yeah you know we have problems but she's fine but she's like they hate her ass and Whitney's like you know if you don't believe me ask Heather the same thing oh yeah the paragons of virtue Bronwyn Whitney and Heather you fucking haters
34:37Ben Mandelker: Giselle's like, I don't want to get involved in this Salt Lake foolishness, but nothing else is happening with this godforsaken road trip. So I've got to find something somewhere. We all know we kind of struck out with OC despite my best efforts. So Salt Lake City, here I come. Yeah, so they're going to try and drag Lisa down now. God forbid the woman has three fun episodes in a row. So Whitney's like, I won't even waste another breath talking about that bitch. Okay, we are done. Burn bridges, pieces of shit. Okay, got it, got it, got it. So now Luanne is still getting ready for her thing. She's going up the ladder like, oh, God, oh, God, I don't want to leave my wings, girls.
35:21Oh, God, here we go. I think I've known for my music. You know, big celebrities know who I am. Huge. Tilda Swinton came. That's it. but basically like huge they love me okay i've got to really impress the crowd on this one
35:37Ben Mandelker: tilda swinton the guy who did those micro machine commercials very fast um there you know the kid who says uh there's purple stuff in the fridge but then it turns out he chooses sunny d him he knows me the kid who saw ghosts and realized that bruce willis was under his bed you know that what the human brain only waves fire or those different kids i don't know they probably both love me jonathan lip nicky also loves me as well does hailey joel ozman i do very well with the 90s children children act uh although uh i uh i did also get a very lovely letter from the uh girl who played harriet the next door neighbor on a small wonder it's jonathan limpnicky not to be confused with Thomas's Thomas and Limp Dickey.
36:27All right. Get it? That's a sly monteur. I'm on tour.
36:32Ben Mandelker: Going in my act. So Kyle's like, yeah, I don't even know how this came about, but Luanne's gonna do a number. I know how it came about. Luanne said, I'm gonna do a fucking number. How else? So Kyle gets up there and she gives one of her classic Kyle speeches. She's like, wow, everybody looks so gorgeous. Yeah. And it's the 20th anniversary of Real Housewives. Three days. Feels like 30. 30 and such. And so upsetting. Yeah, it feels like 30. Thank you, Mo. It's not the same. 30 days that we've been doing the Real Housewives. Brother, we shut up. I'm trying to give a speech. Camille just is going to latch on to anything at this point.
37:17Vicky's like, we're only on day three. We're on day three right now. This is crazy. and so then Luanne is on the ladder I think Carl both do weird things with their tongue but they're different Carl does like the ah where she touches her tongue to the corner of her mouth and Vicky does one where she's going putting her tongue on the bottom of her lip I love both lip movements
37:39Ben Mandelker: yeah it's they're really expanding the art of lip gymnastics so Luanne meanwhile Luanne's on the ladder and now she's suddenly having regrets and she's like wait a second i'm turning i'm turning away hold on i'm about to fall angel down angel down and they're like you are three feet off the floor and we're holding you you're safe who's holding me is it someone hot they sent her down the zip line and this is where she's like not really that high what is it like an eight foot ladder they send her down a zip line and she's just basically you know like i said before like squeegeeing the floor by the time everybody sees her and they're like what is going on and there's guys dressed like bushes that she like flies into and but erica of course looks pissed jealous you know what this is talent i know and like luann comes in on the zip line but she's sort of like out of breath because she's nervous and also from the flying so she's like gems that's silhouettes champion in the sky five premieres fireworks someone get this harness off me every single night with a gold diamonds caviar life is but a dream seriously this harness is still on me when every day you're living is featured on tv is we're doing the whole song whole song okay sure the fact that lou comes with this huge production doesn't toe tap on the beat you know she's like stepping back and forth she's off the she's off the rhythm And then her vocals are not even with the track.
39:14It's like two measures ahead of her. It was so funny. It's such a clusterfuck. And it's Housewives, so everybody's loving it, you know? And then Teresa knows the words. I mean, she's trying at least. She doesn't quite get it. And the only face that's miserable besides Erica's is Vicky's. Vicky's like, what is it? What is this? What is it?
39:38Ben Mandelker: She's like why is this woman singing And then Teresa is singing She goes And they're like no It's Oh
39:56It's so funny So she finishes the song Let's get this party started
40:04Erica's like is that it What would you like more Erica You know what No, I'm good. I'm good. So everyone's telling Lou Anne she did a great job. And Lisa Barlow's saying, I love the performance from one singer to the next. You know how it goes. Catch me singing my big head. Away in a manger. No, not that one.
40:28Ben Mandelker: Yeah, they showed a clip of this. You are Jesus gorgeous.
40:35Ben Mandelker: So Portia is like, I mean, if a housewife's going to do anything, they're going to be confident as a singer. So we have a very long montage of all the different housewife singers over the years, including Danielle Staub, which I liked that they included that, and Kim singing Don't Be Tardy. So Giselle's like, you know, I think we just need to stay housewives. Why can't housewives just stay housewives? Don't you have a podcast? Relatively shady. Leave them alone. Let them live. Let them live off key. Okay. Commercials. Here comes one right now.
41:19Ben Mandelker: Hi, it's Mark Bittman from the podcast Food with Mark Bittman. It's back to school time, which means many of us are going to be busier than ever. But from getting at the door in the morning to enjoying delicious meals together at the end of the day, Whole Foods Market can help with convenient options and delivery. Plus, because it's Whole Foods Market, you can feel good about the quality of the ingredients. Shop back-to-school must-haves at Whole Foods Market, in-store, or online. Hi, this is Debbie Millman from the Design Matters podcast, and today's episode is sponsored by Lexus. Design isn't just about function.
41:59Ben Mandelker: It is about feeling. At Lexus, every detail is intentionally designed. Master artisans don't just focus on what you can see. They obsess over what you can feel. The way the door closes. The precise click of a switch. The acoustic feedback of every control. Because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing. Experience amazing at your Lexus dealer.
42:32So then we go to Porsche. and she's like, oh.
42:36Ben Mandelker: They didn't include Candice in that. That's not nice. Candice has one of the best Housewives songs of all time. They didn't include Candice in that montage. Oh, yeah. It seems like they included a lot of songs. They even had Close to you, so close to you. They didn't even have Drew Sedora singing to Ralph at the reunion, one of my favorite moments. Oh, yeah. That's true. That was a classic, too. Yeah. Okay, so then And Teresa is talking to Denise about her divorce. And she's like, how's that going? Denise is like, it's terrible. And then we see Kyle and Erica getting pizza. And Erica's like, well, everybody's getting along here.
43:18That's good. She's like, well, Vicky and Luann don't get along. Oh, where's Dorit? And Kyle says that Dorit declined to come. And Kyle tells us, yeah, I'm still not speaking to Dorit. But, like, it's a shame she can't get past our situation and be here. I mean, she should be here. It's the 20th anniversary
43:35Ben Mandelker: It is surprising If she was invited that she turned it down You would think that Dorit would flock to something like this So Luann This is one of the only cities They probably got a lot of fuck no's Because Dorit saying no Vanderpump saying no Rinna saying no Garcelle saying no I mean that's a lot of no's I feel like most of the other cities Anybody would come if they're invited Who else do you think said no? um i think where's katherine edwards did she say no um you know who else is well what about brandy glanville i'm sure she was not asked um yeah no what about carlton gebbia yolanda yolanda foster they all have better things to do quite frankly and we all know it um so uh kyle's like good job lu was it scary and she's like well you know what the scary part is just climbing up that damn ladder oh yeah i know because as someone who filmed halloween um i i know a thing or two about things that can strike fear in your bones that's been um so luann's kind of like hey do you want to walk me over there to say hi to erica because Luann is sort of thinking it's time to squash the beef.
44:53Ben Mandelker: So she wants Kyle to sort of lubricate the social situation a little bit. Yeah, so they go over there and Kyle's like, oh, Erica, have you said hi to Luann yet? Erica goes, how are you? I'm good. How are you? Good. And then Kevin Lee comes up and interrupts him. He's like, oh my God, so perfect. That was fabulous, girl. And Erica just turns and looks directly at the camera like, fuck this. Walks off. it was hilarious well the thing is this Luann is like saying she wants Kyle to say like to broker this moment and Erica's like I'm good how are you she's frosty but like they're in a beef that makes sense and the way goes I'm good and she just like looks away and then Kevin shows up I'm like Luann you have to do your part if you're coming over there to be conciliatory you can't you can't just be frosty back like walk me over there so I could be a bitch to her well Erica's a different kind of frosty than luann's used to i mean in new york you know what heard you said this fuck you bitch and erica's will just erica's just gonna give you laser eyes from across the room and look that's true i don't think you know i think she's probably scared of erica or intimidated i guess would be a better word it's just funny because luann then is like you know i wanted to talk to erica jane about this whole thing and she just fucking walks away from me that's because when she said how are you you said good and then looked away like you were you were actually being the icier one you know i'm i rarely i'm gonna take up for erica jane over my favorite housewife of all time countess luann but in this case i think i countess the way well i'm sorry for spending some time talking to the fans i mean tilda swinton is here that's kevin lee still still well you know i can't believe she just walked away you know i don't force the issue with women And I really don't.
46:43I tried to extend the olive branch. She didn't take it. And Kyle's like, oh, my God, Luan. Just, that was so frosty. Oh, my God. Yeah, well, you know what? So my theory is correct. She's a bitch. She's a bitch.
46:55Ben Mandelker: Kyle's like, no, you guys both said hello and just, like, turned away. And she's like, well, no. I said, hey, how are you? From one successful singer to one not successful singer. I'm the successful one, in case you weren't following. Hello. Good to see you. And then she just turned and walked away. well you know like if you just talk to her you know she's gonna be fine you just have to talk to her okay well she's walking by now erica hey erica hello luan how are you doing oh good good i just wanted you know where we left off at bravo con you know i hate to have that i mean life is so short there's so many there's so few houses i could really stay out for free so i just want to make sure that, you know, we're friends, you have a guest room, I have a body that needs a bed, so let's just make up.
47:44Ben Mandelker: Here's what, Luan, I don't know why you said what you did, I'm not even sure I heard what you said, because your voice sounds like a bag of gravel these days. Thank you. Listen, I don't know what you're about to say, but I decided it's my turn to talk. Do you remember when we had dinner that one time? Yes. Yes, we both agreed with the first time we'd had dinner in, what was it, three years? Beyond just some croutons here and there. Yeah, it's like, well, so I remember the dinner just like yesterday. Anyway, still talking. Cabaret started talking. I never heard back from you. What the hell, lady?
48:17Well, do you know what I was going through at that time? With Tom? Do you know? Do you have any idea what I was going through at that time?
48:27Ben Mandelker: Wait, you slept with Tom also? Bitch. No, it's a different time. Keep up, Luan. Oh, wait, wait. Oh, you meet your husband, Tom, the one who flipped over in the car 20 times. Oh, God. Wait, that was happening already? That was happening already? Yes, it was happening. It was happening at all times. And that's why it wasn't you. There was tension. There was so much shit that was unset. And it was upsetting. And nobody knew. It wasn't directed towards you. So honestly, when you were like Erica was so rude, I was like, hold on. Wait a second. Because I will never. I will never do that to you when you're going to do that.
49:06with that.
49:06Ben Mandelker: Well, actually, that's my third song. I'm sorry, I wasn't listening. Did you just ask me about Girl Code?
49:15Ben Mandelker: I just assumed. Well, I feel really bad now. Erko's going through things. I didn't know he was going through the thing. I mean, we're really bad. We're friends now. We made up. We made up. You know, I just want to say, Erko, it is great to finally be friends with you again. I can't hear you. Could somebody turn off the garbage disposal It sounds like there's a spoon being turned in circles. You know, I feel really bad now because she had a boatload of problems going on, and it really had nothing to do with me, which is a bit offensive. But it makes me sense that we get along because we both share some sort of Tom trauma.
49:55Ben Mandelker: Hers is an old bald Tom who drove down a hill, and mine is a younger, hotter Tom who got a yacht. And I think we all agree, my Tom trauma was more fun. So, realizing that she has boring Tom trauma, I feel bad for her and I've decided, we're gonna squash the beef. So they make up, and then we see some slow-mo dancing as the party rages on. Vicky is complaining that Luann has been poking at her this whole trip. She's like, part of my job is to get people set up for retirement. I mean, why are you ridiculing me for working at the car? She wants to engage. I can't engage for like 12, 14 days with her.
50:34I am insurance. you were on your computer because they were confronting you and you wanted to ignore it and not be confronted because you're vicky and you think you're above everybody else but let's try
50:45Ben Mandelker: honey so eileen eileen who has also lit up social media because there's a clip of her at this party like doing like she's like squatting she's doing like a drop like she does this little shimmy down like a little boogie down to her knees and everything and she commented i didn't even know my niece could do that so anyway she says uh talking to camille and she goes your first year on the show i mean i can't i mean my god and camille's like well can i get uh maurice over here so i can respond uh yeah well you know thank you like we didn't know what's gonna happen like that with camille you know like she didn't even know she was gonna be a villain like she didn't even though how that happened.
51:25Like it was crazy.
51:26Ben Mandelker: It was so upsetting. Yeah. It came really natural to Camille. I'm just kidding, Camille. I'm just kidding. And Eileen's like, wow. Yeah. It's amazing that you're like the first three in the franchise. And Camille is the first most hated woman in America from being on this show. Congratulations, Camille. It's amazing. It's crazy. You know, I saw her at a party and I like called up the producers and I said, what about adding camille grammar i think she's sort of like mean and i'd love it if she got raked over the coals for a year and it worked out because she was client like she and fraser were like clients of mo's so i asked mo for the number and i called her up and i'm like i know you don't really know me but also i was thinking like who cares about you without fraser am i right just love to remind you about that camille so i said like get her on this show yeah and then i just didn't i didn't know what kelsey was gonna he wouldn't like it Yeah, but then she showed up at like the 11th hour.
52:23So now Giselle pulls Portia aside to talk gossip. She's like, everybody hates Lisa. We need to make this happen because Lisa is nice and she's getting a great edit. I can feel it. Let's ruin Lisa's life. Come on, let's get her.
52:36Ben Mandelker: I love me some Lisa. So she said, how's things going, Lisa? And I said, I love Lisa. They both are. Bronwyn and Whitney, they both are like, yeah, she's a piece of shit. And so is Meredith. And the entire city of Sutlake can't even stand them. And I was like, whoa. And Porta's like, the whole city?
52:59So she says, you know, I've talked to Lisa the whole party. And she was telling me what they said about her. That Lisa cheated on her husband. And had sex with somebody to buy some tickets. And I was like, well, damn. Like, that's the lowest insult. because it's not even monetarily high. You know what I mean? It's like you bang somebody for a mansion. Okay. Or you bang somebody for jazz tickets, the sports team, not even the music.
53:30Ben Mandelker: And an off-season, perhaps. I don't know how the jazz have been doing lately. But then Portia's like, I love me some Heather. Heather is an honest person. And Giselle says, well, this is the plan. Can we have a plan? So they're like, basically their plan is they're going to go see Heather in Atlanta and find out the truth about Lisa and Meredith. Which, of course, Heather will say, well, we're in a sisterhood and Meredith can't be honest about crazy rich Asians on an airplane. So Portia tells us that Giselle is like a big, beautiful shark with lashes. And when she smells blood in the water, she circles it and she goes after it.
54:11all right so lou and vicky see each other and vicky's like uh good job i'm gonna start selling eardrum insurance so that was that's really great lou and it's like oh thanks honey that was really great did you like the zip line wasn't that good it was iconic i can't wait till someone posts a video although we're gonna watch it again in the car get ready so then vicky's like okay i want to
54:33Ben Mandelker: talk to you for a second she's like me well am i getting financial advice she's like yeah no yes three copies you need you had to have an application so then uh we go to kyle and she gathers some of the beverly hills women and she's like guys i just want to have a little beverly hills moment here like think about where we all started from season one and we've had great times together and isn't it just like crazy to think that some of you have been fired or hired way after i was hired and that i'm kind of the connective glue here and like this isn't even my main thing. My main thing is being in super famous movies with super famous people.
55:10Ben Mandelker: Think about it. It's wild. It's me, Adrian Maloof. I'm just here to say, it's a sisterhood.
55:20Ben Mandelker: As she rotates her head. Sorry, my head doesn't rotate on its own, so I have to fully rotate my shoulders to see what's around me. Wow, do you imagine when he started the show, how long it would go? I was like, oh, my God, I thought a couple of months. And then, like, you know, two months became four months. And then four months became 90 years. And, I mean, I'm still here. It's crazy. So we're talking about that for a little while. And Kyle is telling us how she's used to scripted. And this was nuts coming on to this show. And then we go to Lou and Vicky sitting down to have their chat. And Luann's like, oh, this skirt's going to drive me nuts.
55:59I might have to change. You don't mind, do you? Well, I just want to let you know. Like, I'm feeling bad because everybody was on me in the car. I'm sorry. Just Gina wasn't invited to be in the show. So let me just press a little button. I've recorded Gina's voice into a Build-A-Bear button. Here we go. I feel bad. Okay, thank you. Because everybody was on me in the car about having to work. And, you know, I've got a lot on my plate without crying. I just want to say I have a lot on my plate. And you don't even know because I don't share it. But your responsibility is huge. Huge.
56:31Ben Mandelker: I understand you. theoretically i wasn't listening but i'm pretty sure if i had listened i would have understood you because i'm very empathetic but what we are trying to do is get you to maybe drop a little bit of that so that you can enjoy yourself with the girls she's like no but like i feel like you don't like me okay like you're jabbing at me like porky the pig darling i only repeated what you told me you said you wanted to look like porky the pig no no i'm saying slade called me miss piggy but I think you got that story wrong are you sure you didn't say Porky the Pig no it's Miss Piggy Miss Piggy is different than Porky the Pig Miss Piggy is different than Porky the Pig it's even worse oh oh I said wait a minute I said Porky the Pig but you meant Miss Piggy that is hilarious you know honey come over here could you write that down that's funny that is absolutely hilarious so what do you think she looks like Porky Pig or Miss Piggy you know what let's make it a multiple choice give me a third pig what's a famous pig give me a third pig anybody anybody i'm hearing something about a peppa pig do we feel is peppa peppa works so um vicky is like it's a different bag well i called her the wrong fictional pig what can i tell you even louis vuitton makes mistakes but we've got another 11 dates together so i just wanted to make sure it's okay Yeah, I know.
58:0111 days. Here's my imitation of you. Blah, blah, blah. Desk work, desk work. Office, office, office. I'm not, I'm not. You're calling me the wrong pig. Do I get it? We'll be fine, Vicky.
58:13Ben Mandelker: Vicky, I have a question. What pig does Tilda Swinton call you? Oh, you're not friends with her? My apologies.
58:23Let me tell you. My good friend Tilda Swinton has played a lot of things. Never a pig. So she's going to love this She's going to absolutely love this Wait a second
58:34Ben Mandelker: What's that flashing light I'm seeing in the darkness Oh that's just Heather Dubrow She's trying to get in the party because she lives up here too
58:45Okay so they kind of make up But then Luann's like Okay Vicky It's going to be great But you do work too hard girlfriend Okay you do work too hard You know what, I just got inducted I got inducted to the Hall of Fame A pig Financial services I didn't know they had a financial services Hall of whatever, but good for you Was it financial services For pigs?
59:14Ben Mandelker: I don't know what a financial service is But if it's like a sexual service Good for you, sister Let me ask you a question I've been hearing a story for years and years, ever since I was a little girl. Who blew the pig's house down? Was it even blown down? That's a lot for one breath. As a singer, let me tell you, it's a lot of breath control. Stop it, Luanne. So Luanne's like, you know, the biggest problem with Vicky is that she really doesn't seem to want to be here. I mean, she's irritable. She's working all the time. She's no fun, which is funny because people, to Vicky's credit, she does have a job that she has to do and luan's like i mean what is this work why aren't you dangling from a zip line and dancing with bushes it doesn't make any sense i think luan's absolutely correct and i think that's the problem with vicky she just seems like she's above it she doesn't want to be there she's annoyed with everybody that she even has to shoot these scenes and yes your insurance is a job but she runs the company she's like in mexico part-time she's here here and there.
1:00:22She's semi-retired from the way she talks about it. This is a job too. You're being paid to be on a TV show and engaged, not to be on your goddamn computer.
1:00:33Ben Mandelker: Luann's like, okay, how about this? Respect me by not giving me unsolicited advice. She's like, I would never do that again. If I need your advice, I'll ask you for it. Vicky tells us. I won't give you unsolicited advice if you don't sing unsolicited.
1:00:53Oh, back to the Beverly Hills ladies. Camille's like, ah, isn't it nice that we're here getting along? Denise, did you see your marriage blowing up? We haven't talked about this yet. I haven't talked about it on our show, your own spinoff show. Let's do it again. You know, we wanted to get married on the show, and I never thought I would get divorced again after my first divorce.
1:01:16Ben Mandelker: Yeah. And Denise's like, yeah, I mean, this was bad. In some way, this is worse than the first time around. You know what I'm saying? And Eileen's like, do you think the show had anything to do with it, you guys? Did the show bring more attention? Did Lisa Vanderpump ever apologize to you?
1:01:37And Camille's like, no, he had already met the woman he left me for. She was supposed to move to New York City, and he moved her into the apartment. That was the airline stewardess. and she said i was supposed to be on that flight yeah girl i forgot all that that was crazy i know that was crazy and like kelsey grammar got away with it too because if he'd done that shit
1:02:00Ben Mandelker: now wow the roasting he really would have gotten from the internet like he got like a people were like wow that's terrible how shady but now in 2026 where people are so much more vocal about like fuck off uh he really would have gotten it oh hold on the biggest villain in america at that point i mean she was on the cover of people magazine it's like the most hated housewife i know it's good i must have loved that yeah uh ding ding ding ding ding everyone camille wants to make a speech so uh first of all i just want to say congratulations to kyle uh 15 plus years of drama and diamonds and friendship but didn't survive the season and the agency we had laughs screaming matches in the agency and of course the dinner from hell where we learned that he will never emotionally fulfill you ever know that the agency so you're an icon survivor force of nature the agency and in your own immortal words you're such a fucking liar Camille congratulations wait what so the party wraps up and people start leaving and Giselle Giselle and Porsche are in one car and in another car it's Lisa Vicky Teresa and Lou because like I don't want to go the back I have buddies I have a buddy I have to stay up here for God's sake for God's sake money and then and then it becomes riding in cars with housewives so Giselle and Giselle and Porsche do this funny kind of like post-game report.
1:03:37Ben Mandelker: Giselle was like, well, that was a party. Did you hear Vicky say happy anniversary? Happy 30th anniversary. And so when Vicky saw Mauricio... No, it was Lisa. Then Portia's like, no, that was Lisa. I'm sorry. And then we'd see Lisa walk up to Kyle. Yeah, it's like, oh my God, hi. Oh no, I walked up to Mauricio. She's like, oh my God, hi. So nice to meet you. Happy anniversary. That's so great. So happy for you guys.
1:04:09Ben Mandelker: and then vicky said that's why you're thinking of vicky because vicky said we cried all yesterday and we see that vicky tells me said yeah we all cried we cried we all cried together and mary's like oh cool cool uh he goes oh that's so cute and then he just walks off what the fuck sometimes it's okay to say nothing yeah okay those are the moments that i love and i i do wish we had like fewer flashbacks and more of those moments because those quirky moments were like what are you how are you what what are you saying right now like that's what i live for so good so my guy congratulations on your marriage
1:04:52so in the other car vicky lou and who's who else oh it's who says in the dark they're all sitting right they're all squished next to each other in the back seat and teresa's like oh my god That song was like iconic to ball.

Oh, let's watch it, guys. I know you want to see it. Okay, let's listen to it. And Teresa's singing the words and snapping along. And Vicky is just looking at the floor like, oh, my God.
1:05:26This was amazing. That's again. Again.
1:05:30Ben Mandelker: Oh, this was so amazing. because Luanne is watching this video of her performing this song that she's performed a billion times and she's singing along with it. She's like, c 'est la vie, c 'est bon. She's like, Amy Poehler and Mean Girls singing along, but she's doing it to herself. She's like, oh yeah, c 'est la vie, c 'est bon. And she's like, and then Therese is like, and Vicky is just like miserable. And then she gets a phone call, so she answers the phone. And then Luanne gets her this look like, how dare you interrupt me watching me singing while I'm singing to me singing.
1:06:12So good. She's like, well, I mean, listen, you know, sorry, the phone was ringing. Well, you can always not answer, you know, there's always an option. You know, the countess is singing. All right. Well, I mean, that would be rude. Oh, I don't know that was pretty rude what's that you're watching a future emmy winning performance that was pretty rude i was in the middle of doing the worst to this icon song

1:10:36Like opening the front door on Summer House. Or figuring out how to wear a Linfinity dress. Or understanding Tom Schwartz's purpose on the Valley.
1:10:43Ben Mandelker: In a world full of confusing choices, thank goodness for nature-raised farms. They believe that food shouldn't be complicated. Especially chicken. But the freezer aisle often makes it that way. Too many options, too many additives, too many compromises. Do I like complicated chicken? No. No. Chicken should be fun. Complicated chicken? Not fun. Chicken should meet a higher standard. And Nature Raised Farms is free from gluten, dairy, and soy. There are no seed oils and no artificial ingredients. Also, Nature Raised Farms chicken is a good source of fiber and only between 8 to 12 grams of fat per serving dependent on the product.
1:11:20Ben Mandelker: Chicken, that's just chicken. When food is that simple, there's a quiet joy in it. And we love quiet joy. Like the moment Erika Jayne puts down her microphone. Keep your life simple with your new favorite chicken. Nature raised farms chicken because chicken shouldn't be complicated.
