0:00There is such a better way to spend your time than doom scrolling or watching terrible TV. Get some stories in your life, okay? Audible is perfect for that. I use it while I'm cleaning the house, while I'm running errands. I listen to books all day, every day with Audible.

You know, I always grew up thinking that if you were feeling under the weather, you could just go to the doctor easily. An annual physical, you just call up and say, hey, can I come in on Tuesday? But actually, it's way more annoying than that. You call up, and then there's an appointment, and it's in six weeks. It needs to be easier.

0:54Ben Mandelker: It needs to be simpler.

1:55Ben Mandelker: Who cares what happens when there's so much that crappens Who cares what crappens Who cares what happens when there's so much that crappens Hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. This is part two of the recap. If you missed part one, go check out your podcast feed. It's right there. And without further ado, let's get right back into the recap. So we see a picture of him and her from 2009. And she's like, oh, yeah, says Mistress Haley, homewrecking Haley, the mistress that ruined a family at eight. It wasn't even true. And, you know, after the John thing, I wasn't getting, like, support from my mom who just disappeared.

2:42Well, I mean, you were dating John Gosselin. Listen, there's only so much a mother should be expected to take. like once you have to support you through everything that is ridiculous I'm sorry but if you date John Gosselin you're dead to me that's it I'm moving on I'm going to Florida I'm taking my tap dance for you

3:02Ben Mandelker: the mom she said the reason why she dated John was because her mom said date John I don't know that I believe that maybe she said John's a nice guy or I don't know I don't know that I don't know I don't believe I don't believe every single thing she's telling me yeah I believe very little that what she says um so uh haley says it's this friction that all mother daughters have you know every woman every every woman i've dated with kids all have the same issues with their daughters you know and their daughter the daughters the daughters all the daughters and the daughters all like that actually she says daughters very i'm remembering now that when she says they all have the same issues with their daughters the show sort of like paused it's like look everyone the show was like look look how she said daughters yeah the daughter's all the daughters all act out that's just how it is and erica's like wait wait i love that you just dropped in and she's like but yeah but it's true but then how many wait are you saying you dated women she's like yeah because like i've dated women and they've got daughters it's horrible it's like oh my god i cannot believe you just dropped in that you've dated women before.

4:14That is literally crazy. Women date women? How does that even work?

4:21Ben Mandelker: We are like such a wild, risque cast. Sorry, internet, to be breaking you as we speak. Oh my god. So Haley says, I date women, but I can't date other men. As far as how many women I've dated, I don't know, but I feel like a lot of women have, I don't know, we just heal each other's souls. She like touches her chest. She's like, we heal each other right here in our souls. You know, let me tell you. Let me tell you about a soul healing time. I was dating this girl. She was using a dildo on me. Her big double D tit broke my nose. And then I had to go to the cosmetic surgeon. I was leaking. It was like I'm awake at four in the morning.

5:03You know, it's like leaking, leaking. So I had to go. It was crooked. It was double D tit banged out of my face. Isn't that sweet?

5:12Ben Mandelker: did you at least come it's like no i i don't remember mainly because this is a fabricated story but honestly it was so embarrassing so now we go to jessel's and povet is cooking it's like what are you making he's like uh lunch for the kid what do you think i'm making jessel okay it's pasta that i'm stirring around really quickly with some cheese okay what do you think it is well it's a new experiment it's a pasta banh mi it's basically a pasta with a banh mi flavoring that i put into a bun and i'm gonna give it to our kids and they can bring it to school and hopefully show it to tom kid tom cruise's child so jessel is like when it comes to poverty and work you know he's figuring out his career and he's you know doing the food influencing thing also known as being poor and where it's like more food and less influencing more just eat eat eat and less while impacting anyone's daily life in any sort of way, including his own wives.

6:11Ben Mandelker: So, yeah, he really needs to focus on how to make this lucrative because we still have bills to pay. I really wonder about everybody on this show. Like, how do you make money? Influencing, I get that that's a thing, but, like, how do they all have these expensive apartments from influencing? I don't know. Is that many people buying their crap that they're selling? i yeah i feel like povet should stick with his whatever corporate job he had i feel like this is not a good this is i know he wants to lean into the food thing but i don't know if i would have left my corporate job for it and i feel like jessel has a legit pr job remember when she had that party and she had like major players from vogue show up to her apartment and then aaron's like what a stupid party she calls us like a party and brings like i think that guy's flirting with me and it was just like a big gay man like dressed like a clown but um yeah the others i'm not sure does she still work there i don't know i guess we'll find out later this season because i thought she hadn't been doing that but maybe that was just since she had the kids i don't remember i have no idea uh but she's like influencing gross am i right all right so we're throwing in a year of the horse party for lunar new year you know what that means and he's like uh, year the horse?

7:31Yeah, what does it mean? The year that the horse was made? No. Uh, the year the horse was founded? No, Povet. The year the horse was created? God damn it, Povet. Alright, listen, it's Chinese astrology, alright? They have different animals for every year. Last year was a snake, this year's a horse, that's all I know. Please stop asking me questions.

7:55Ben Mandelker: Did the horse find a really cool underground banh mi spot in the Lower East Side, Povet, no. Last year was a shit year for me. I'm fundamentally a daddy's girl. Unfortunately, my dad passed away, and I'm so lucky to have him in my life, had him in my life, and like everything I do is just in the hopes of making him proud. And we see these really sweet clips of Jaisal's dad and her parents. It's really sad, and she's basically just trying to move forward, and she says, I'm celebrating a new change, Povet, a new turnover, And he's like, just ignoring her. And he's like, wow, look at this amazing butter pasta I made.

8:35Ben Mandelker: So things are the same with those two, basically. So then we go to the real real. I'm so confused by the real real. Isn't that Shannon's store? No, Shannon's store was real for real. And this one's the real real. Dare you. How dare you remind Shannon of her failures? Well, she's going to be reminded every time she passes the real real store. Every time I'm in New York and I pass this damn store, I think, oh, that's Shannon's store. It's still going on. But then I don't see any salmon stuffed with cream cheese. I don't know. Google things before you open a whole business called them. You know? I thought it was a store.

9:13Ben Mandelker: I thought it was a store for authentic fishing poles. The real real.

9:21But it's not. It's a very fancy clothing store. So Cy comes in there and the alarm starts going off. And the guy's like, oh, yeah. The alarm, you just have to look at it and it goes off. It's terrible, isn't it? So don't steal anything. I'm here and I have really great hair. Enjoy your shopping time. It's like, damn, the people in the store are very judgy. There's a girl working behind the counter that they kept showing, giving judgy looks the whole time. I was like, oh, I want to work with her.

9:52Ben Mandelker: i know i was like that's the only type of salesperson i want to see on this show i just want to judge you salespeople that are like ew it's reboot roni people um so so daisy comes in and um she's saying how um her her husband eugene is going to come to the party jessel's party and she's like my husband eugene is an incredible hairstylist i met eugene at a hair salon basically she saw this buff sexy hair stylist and she was attracted to him and um she feels like she's been catfished because on the first date he was like yeah let's have margaritas good time good time but now but now i finish his margaritas because he's sometimes boring now daisy i don't want everyone's relationship is different but what i will say is that the big buff hair stylist husband who's turned out to be boring it's not working out so well on salt lake city so just letting you know keep an eye out yeah well also how many dates did you go on him go on with him that he drank on the first date so you thought he was a drinker but then after that he stopped drinking how many how many days did you go on i'm confused how you didn't know but she's in there and she's taking off her clothes like she's taking off her top in the middle of the store to try on another top.

11:15And it's like, oh, it doesn't matter. Everyone in here is a woman. Like, nobody cares. And they just keep cutting to the guys, like, oh. And this is where we get the judgy lady behind the counter, like, oh, well, I guess they're just taking off their clothes in the middle of our store. It's real real.

11:32Ben Mandelker: All right, Miss 30-year-old. I start real reals. Daisy finds a jacket that she loves. And they're like, actually this is the best this is i love like sometimes gay cruelty we the way we can be so cold with a smile on our face she's like uh i'm obsessed with the jacket i have to get it and she goes to buy it and he goes oh i'm sorry someone just bought this online she's like no no i'll do anything he's like sorry and he's just like smiling as he slowly pulls the jacket she's like what can i do i'll pay more i'll give my child i'll give you eugene he's like yeah sorry saying no you can't do this to me that's like really crushing me he's like always good to see you ladies let me fold this slowly for someone else have a great day i'm sorry but those alarms were really judging you and it went off when you first walked in it said this coat doesn't want to go home with you okay there's a tag on this coat that says where it's from and you will not own anything from here enjoy your day ladies it's time for a commercial it's time for a crappin's commercial losing weight can be like trying to roll a wheelbarrow up a hill you can do it but it's so much better and easier with support noom combines glp1s to kickstart your weight loss with healthy habits to help you keep it off even if you stop the meds noom helps you lose more weight.

So now let's go to Jess's Lunar New Year party. So now we have Erica. Erica's another newbie. And she arrives and Jessel's like, I love Erica.

15:33Ben Mandelker: She has become one of my closest friends, which is what I'll say about everyone but Erin this episode. She's married to a tech billionaire named Angkor Jane. And she has this lavish wedding that was by the Egyptian pyramids that I was not invited to, by the way. And then we see this Erica lady, and she's like, I mean, I didn't even know her then. We met, like, literally a month after. Like, she would have thrived at that moment. But you know what? Maybe there's a 10-year vow renewal or something she'll get to come to. By the way, do you like my dress? I love it. I rented it. Isn't that crazy? And I'm, like, kind of a billionaire now.

16:10I don't care. I don't care.

16:13Ben Mandelker: Jessa's like, what? She can't believe that she rented it. And how she says it, she goes, that's okay. that's all right

16:26Ben Mandelker: you know would I do that probably not but does she look fabulous 100 % Mike you might start wanting considering renting your dresses if we find out that you are no longer working in PR and Povet is doing food influencing your husband tasted fast food for a living so get to renting ma 'am um oh I guess that doesn't really matter I'm surprised. So I want to know what she does and also why she's not taking me to dinner. How much money do you have? I would rent clothes if they were cuter on me. I don't know. What am I going to rent? Old Navy? I don't think they rent. Anyway, the point is they're at this party and everybody's there.

17:09There's a lot of people wearing pink. That's one thing I noticed. I was like, why is everybody wearing pink to this party? I don't like it. It doesn't look good in this lighting. so Haley is talking to Cy and um she's like oh hey Cy so this is uh this is who I'm seeing this is like Mary or whatever she's like um so you're saying what do you mean you see her I see her too no no seeing her seeing her what's it mean you're like dating a woman yeah that's what that means like well what does that mean well that we like hang out we hook up with friends she's a b-cup so i probably won't lose a nose today am i right has ruben met her uh no but she did have a ruben

17:49Ben Mandelker: earlier today sorry about the breath by the way i tried to get to have some certs so si says let me tell you the way that she the way that she just swallowed the pickles whole off the ruben she healed my soul right here right here you know what she was eating thousand island and i was having thousand hearts in my eyes so si says you know when i first met haley i was not a fan I really thought that she was like a little kooky, but now I'm getting to know her and she's like charmingly eccentric. It's like in a delightfully odd way, like fabulously frenetic, like a simply silly person. I'm like, are you trying to segue into some sort of musical moment here?

18:30Ben Mandelker: Are you waiting for the piano to start under you? she just she's a charmingly eccentric fabulously wonderful curiously cocky and beautifully bountiful i'm like sigh sorry it's very cute that you're trying to pretend that you're nice for five minutes this season but we all can hear what you're really saying it's like she's an unintelligent rain man there i said it i said it she's a fucking strange loser that i'm just gonna be nice too because i can't send aaron anymore so erin comes on jessel's like i'm not excited to see erin tonight but i like to think of myself as an inclusive person so hopefully we can hash things out party party party everybody party so erica is gossiping with erin and she's like oh hi erin yeah it's me jessel's friend remember me i'm a billionaire this dress is rented isn't it cute i mean i don't i literally don't even care so i why do you hate jessel do you hate jessel is there problems with jessel i didn't say there's problems with jessel do you have a problem with jessel she might have a problem with you i want to talk to jessel bye

19:43Ben Mandelker: and um erin is like looking at her like you're a newbie but eric's like is there why is there tension she's like what like it's just like don't isn't there attention it's like does she have tension i mean i don't know yes you do you can tell me i'm erin i'm a vault she's like well i sense tension uh so now um erin then is gossiping to hayley's date about the story hayley she's like by the way did she tell you the story about how she someone with a d cup broke her nose while they were using a dildo isn't that crazy isn't this story hilarious and maybe might cause an issue with you guys isn't that hilarious seriously erin geez what part about just started dating this person did you not hear it's like yeah hear about that other lady with the d cup that broke her nose when she was dildoing her that was hilarious all right nice to break you up see you later so then jessel's right oh so yeah sorry hailey's like so uh jessel how you been doing uh how's your uh you know your ivf journey thing or whatever she's like what did i tell you i did ivf she's like oh aaron mentioned it because i don't know like her father died your father died and then she just mentioned loosely that like i don't know maybe you were trying to have your father through ivf again because you really missed you i don't know what it was i i wasn't paying attention i'm just over here trying to start shit like literally is this how i do this i had a corkscrew that was like a motherfucker sorry i just really didn't listen to anything she was saying i was so i was dialed in so psi is like what so you you don't you didn't know the context and what she would bring up because it's something that's so personal and haley's like yeah i mean i get that and so i i you know i don't know i don't remember anything i what what can i say it's like john plus eight plus kate and i don't know it's like a lot going on in my life so so i was like well you were sleeping or something like what was going on why couldn't you figure it out I was like, I don't know.

21:44Ben Mandelker: I was, I was. You were passed out. Yeah. I was told. You were tired? Were you tired? Did you suddenly lose consciousness for reasons you still don't understand? What's wrong with you? Talk, woman. It's like, okay, like, look, I was high. Okay, I was high as a jet blue fight when everyone came over. I didn't even know what was going on. Somehow she still drank wine. I don't know how she did it. did she uncork the thing with the teeth like is the woman a miracle worker nobody knows i'm sorry but what is what's jet blue it's like never mind so we see that uh three days early when they were during the corkscrew uh conversation aaron was just blabbing on and saying how like wow jessel's just like you know it's not my you know like jessel's just going through stuff and whatever yeah i know she said well she actually doesn't even say that she doesn't even does she say that she has to have said that because hayley asked about it but then she says jocelyn's just going through stuff she's just going yeah she says it because hey we show they show hayley zoning out and they put like the high filter on her face where it's like and she's trying to open the line and erin's like yeah well she told me she hasn't had socks in a long time and then we found out she had like an issue with ivf or something and that's why she wasn't having sex but that's not how it was said to us and i just like never get the full picture i mean why are you lying about your sexual ivf life you know what i mean like who does that she's erin so tacky and then hayley's just ignoring her staring off into space as most of the audience does so hayley's like well if you okay look you think i remember a conversation about ivf stuff like i was thinking about what i was gonna order from doordash i'll give you a hint it has protein and it's in shake form.

23:39Ben Mandelker: Is that a cucumber? No. So Jessa's like, here's the thing about our little friend over there. I'm talking about Erin. I can see you're all confused. Erin, she does like to offer information that isn't there. Look, I wasn't offended that you knew about my IVF. I'm very open about that, but it's not her story to tell. It's my story to tell. I was supposed to have a scene about it and she kind of ruined it for me now. it's like oh i hear you listen we're women we're women with horrible tap dancing mothers who don't support us am i right and the most important thing is that we understand that women go through things and i'm going through things because i'm a woman with a horrible mother so let's just all remember this pat pat thing and move on it's like what what are you talking about yeah and we're going through a lot and aaron said you're going through a lot so there that's all i know i was just trying to make some all talk hailey you know i'm revising my opinion as we go through this hailey is hilariously causing so much damage at this stupid party i found her to be really funny through all of this i i liked her when she first came on i was really amused by her and thought she's really funny i just felt like there was some stuff that was like a little like it felt like i felt like she was there was some performative stuff in there but now as we go through it i'm realizing she was just trying to have an excuse to not get into trouble all the stuff like well i was high i was high i was thinking about doordash felt like it just wasn't landing for me but now now as we go through it again i'm like hmm she's just trying to get out of trouble it's okay i think the producers are like okay hayley so now you need to go up to sigh and you need to talk to what aaron talked to you about but what what did she talk to me about you know she mentioned ivf what's ivf you know That's the women that drink.

25:31Oh, my mother's terrible. No, just concentrate on the Ivy. You're going to go over there. Just start a conversation. Just that's how we do it here. So she goes and does what they tell them. And then she gets in trouble. She's like, what? I don't remember anything. What are you talking about?

25:45Ben Mandelker: Yeah. Yeah, this is actually making me like her more. Sometimes recapping will make me like someone more or like someone less, depending on how much fun I have talking about them. um so we see that erin had told her sigh i think she's going through a lot right now and i think that like when she does that it's because there's other stuff and like she has other stuff going on right now so we saw that that she had said that and hailey hailey just was like whatever i heard you had going through stuff whatever but side does not like this i does not like that well what stuff did she say i was going through and she's like i don't know i didn't ask i mean i didn't ask Oh, well, thank you.

26:24It's both non-informative and very flattering. You don't even care. So then Jessel gives a speech and she's like, hi, everybody. It's me, Jessel. Thanks for being here. Here's what I'm really into right now. Chinese astrology. I just love it. So every year's a year about an animal. Last year was a snake. This year's a horse. Last year, with the snake year, I was promised renewal and maybe a rebirth. Very eat love pray. Well, it didn't turn out that way. So thanks a lot, snake. What a bitch of a year. That sucks. So I'm basically here to tell you, Chinese New Year, do better.

27:10Ben Mandelker: That's right. All I had was a therapist bill. So now, 2026, the year of the fire horse. She is bold. She is fearless.

All right, fuck Aaron and anyone who stands with her. You too, Abe. All right, sorry. Get out Erin and Abe You awful fucking people This is why your daughter hates you I think she's talking about me

30:45Ben Mandelker: Also Even though Pavit put out His specialty banh mi Kachapouris Please don't eat them Just make him feel bad about wasting his time Thank you so much And goodbye Nobody has caught more poris than me With Pavit Am I right So So Aaron's like, you say I say rub it in.

31:16Ben Mandelker: So Aaron's like, um, so what's the problem? Oh, well, I mean, I guess like for me, it's been a little bit of like people just telling me that I'm hearing that you are like on a smear campaign about me. Um, I don't talk about you ever, Jessel. Oh, you don't talk about me ever. Okay, so what about the finale of the Ultimate Girls Trip? You went on a smear campaign about me. Smear campaign. Smear campaign. That's right. She likes to repeat the last thing you said, because that's her argument. Yeah, well, it also gives her time to come up with an argument, too. She's like, it's like a placeholder.

31:54Ben Mandelker: So Jess was like, yeah, I got voicemails from several people. People? You called me fake. That's right. You're lying. Yeah. No? Yeah. and you call me thirsty we see clips of Aaron in a car well we don't see the car but we see the car moving and she's like I just can't Jaisal is like the thirstiest she's like embarrassing and thirsty oh my god and she's we see Jaisal saying like you called me fake and she's a fake you called me thirsty she's so thirsty you called me a snake thirsty stupid face she smells like a fart that's why i gave her a christmas candle for her birthday she goes i mean i've said those things yes about you yes and i feel that way but i just don't know why you would accuse me of saying those things about you and feeling that way yeah i'm like we need to go back because like the important thing here is yeah i said those things but who told you i said them i mean that's just not cool and whoever that is needs to be taken down immediately so you better tell me who it is cut to the voicemail of chanel my babes oh you know i love you so much and i care about you be careful with that because a few of the girls at the parties came to me and told me that she was talking shit about you and she was telling them and that you are untrustworthy but just pay attention to that bitch okay well did i say you're inauthentic yes do i feel you're inauthentic yes you do why do you feel I'm inauthentic?

33:30Well, I'll tell you. I'll tell you why. But first, you need to tell me who told you. Because to say I'm on a smear campaign, and then like, you know, like if I heard that, you're supposed to call me and say, did you hear, did you say this about me? I mean, what kind of friend are you that you wouldn't even call me? Aaron? What kind of friend are you that you were saying this stuff to a whole group of your peers? How are you arguing?

33:55Ben Mandelker: in your home defense here. It was on camera, and you admitted that you said shitty things about Jaisal, and you're going to make Jaisal feel bad because Jaisal had a reaction to it and didn't call you up. Like, a real friend calls and finds out if I said it, and then I would tell you that I said it. But you never called, so I'm allowed to have said it. I did like that Erin at least told us. She's like, I mean, was I talking shit? Yeah, that's what you do you talk shit to your friends about your other friends when they're being annoying and by the way it was a real housewives event what else am i gonna do okay i mean i would prefer it if erin was just like yeah she was annoying the out of me so i said it but like no big deal i get over it she's sort of is doing that yeah i like this answer but i didn't like all of her ones before like what i've never talked about you i never talked okay i talked about yes i did talk about you that's what i'm saying it's like aaron arguing gaslighting but that's always like her thing it's always like yeah i spread a vicious rumor about you but like that's what people do she always does that it's always yeah yeah i mean don't we all start terrible rumors don't we all just talk i mean i thought we were having fun just talking what kind of friend are you that you would confront me behind my back about starting a vicious rumor about your marriage like being kind of friend are you so uh she's like well i mean she is thirsty so then cy comes over it's like are you guys okay what's going on over here no we're not okay all right well cy if i said something about you would you not call me and be like bitch did you say this about me she's like yeah exactly so jessel's a bad friend thank you cy for agreeing with me that's all i'm trying to get across here but you have been saying things about her and it's like i never said anything about her she's my friend she calls she calls erin sees size face which is like all scrunched up like and like like a classic sigh i don't like you face she's like what what's the issue well you did tell hailey that i was having a hard time she's like well i feel in i i feel you in my heart and i was protective when she said something about you and oh okay so now you were just being protective because jessel was saying something mean about psi oh she's tricky this one aaron so then we see a flashback to that combo and um it's with hailey and um hailey's like well I like Sai, it's just that she's always taking jabs, you know, but I like her.

36:41So then we flash back and Jussel's like, yeah, but what she's going through is really personal, Aaron. You might not know what it is, but I do because I know more about Sai than you do now. Right, Sai? Say what it is. Vaults don't speak. But let's just say my vault is close enough to her vault that we're going to make little gold brick babies in a bank.

37:06Ben Mandelker: Wait, what she's going through is personal? Like, what is she going through that's very personal? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? But, I mean, I see what you're doing, and I don't trust you. Aaron's like, I had a whole other rumor, unless our rumors were the same. Do we have the same rumors? But we don't want to say it. Which one? Huh? It's like, yeah, I don't trust you, and neither do you, Cy, so stop pretending you do. It's like, what? How do I not trust Jessel? We've been friends for like seven minutes now. It's been fantastic. And she's like, oh, really? You trust Jessel?

37:39I do trust Jessel. Yeah, but I know more about Sai than you do at this point because she trusted me with very important husband ex-a-leaving ex-a-operated say. Oh, really?

37:55Ben Mandelker: Really? Oh, you know more about her than I do? Oh, so you know more about her husband, say, ex-a-ten-hey, marriage of me? Is that what you're trying to say? I know very, very much about that. Wait a minute. No, not in my business you guys are talking about. Okay, well, I don't even know why this conversation is happening. And Erin goes, is it true that she knows more stuff than me? And so I was like, well, I have opened up to Chesil. That's true. I have. She's like, oh, my God. Why is this happening in tandem with my conversation with her? Now you're friends with Chesil and I'm not friends with you?

38:34Ben Mandelker: it's a classic uh fascinating uh fight with erin so sai just walks away like many of us wish we could and um then we just see things going around the party hayley's got protein bars in her purse and daisy tells um erica she's like uh you can say whatever but if you but if she if you call me fat then we're not friends and so we go back to erin and jessel and erin's like you think deeply about the way in which you're gonna twist stories and fuck people over yes i sit at home and do this yeah you're in pr you're in pr okay you do that shit i believe that how do i twist the story because i believe that you do that like literally erin is the key this is why erin is projecting because erin is the queen of twisting a story and amplifying it on this show it's literally what she's doing right now jessel didn't do anything to you she heard that you talked shit about her and you're like, oh, now you're going to twist it to make it look like I talked bad about you.

39:34You did. You admitted to doing it. It's like, yeah, you're the queen of PR. Now you're going to try and twist the story, but you literally did it.

39:45Ben Mandelker: Quiet. Be quiet for a minute. Don't tell me to be fucking quiet. You're literally the fakest person that I know. I'm done with you. Goodbye. You can leave now. Thank you. So I don't know how she's fake either because she got up and gave a speech implicating you and then told you right to your face. So I don't... Exactly. And if Jessel had never confronted Erin, Erin would never have fessed up about the fact that she was talking shit about her behind her back. So Jessel... And also I like that Jessel didn't rat out Chanel. Yeah, exactly. Except to the producers. So Jessel is like, fucking psychopath.

40:25Ben Mandelker: And Daisy's like, oh my God, what happened? She's like, she's a psychopath. She's literally a psychopath. Can she leave? Can she leave security? Can you kick out Aaron, please? So the security guard goes to kick out Aaron. She's like, oh, really? Oh, you want me to leave? Okay, well, I'm happy to. I'm very, very happy to leave right now. Oh, well, guess what, Sian? She kicked me out, so I guess I'm going to leave. What? What's happening here? Oh, go be your best friend, then, because you're like our best friend now. Well, I am good friends with her. Why is that an issue for you? Jeez. She's like, oh, my God, the shit that she just spun.

40:57I mean, that's what she's doing. That's what she's doing again. She's spitting things.

41:02Ben Mandelker: For years, Sai and Jaisal have not gone along. In fact, Sai has been the one who delivered all these little nuggets of information about Jaisal's life to be like, look how fake her life is. But now, overnight, they're like become like instant besties. And like, no one ever told me that. I now have an issue with Jaisal. And Sai wants in on the party. So bring them all. Yeah, so half the cast is fired and you don't run this cast, Aaron. whoops sorry people are gonna jump ship now sucker yeah so um aaron's like yeah this is her fault for not calling me and saying did you say these things she's still doing the same thing and then she gets kicked out again the owner's like uh could you please leave she's like oh i'm so excited to leave god come on and as she leaves jessel's like god what is that jacket anyway what is she wearing disgusting so um pretty funny um yeah uh ding dong the bitch is gone jessel says and that's it don't don't don't what will happen yeah so no carol but i'm sure i'm sure we'll get a few episodes with no carol and then and then they're gonna work her in but uh yeah i think a pretty good reboot of the reboot yeah good times everybody thank you so much for being here we will talk to you every day we'll be here all the time we sure love you and we'll talk to you guys later bye watch what crappens would like to thank its premium sponsors ain't no thing like alice and king our way is the amber way it's the foster and the furious it's amanda foster it's always automatic with Ashley Otto.

45:20This episode is sponsored by Nature Raised Farms. There are so many complicated things on Bravo. Like opening the front door on Summer House. Or figuring out how to wear a Linfinity dress.

45:30Ben Mandelker: Or understanding Tom Schwartz's purpose on the Valley. 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.

46:10Ben 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. Hey guys, it's Paige from Giggly Squad. Okay, can we all agree that hosting is so much fun? And I really do love it. 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.

46:48You plug it in and you let it do all the work. It'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.

47:22No 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, Zivo has you covered with 24-7 bug protection. Plug in a Zivo flying insect trap so you can work smarter, not harder, and actually enjoy your time at home. Think of a toilet as just an everyday object.
