#3536 Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip S506 Part Two: Time To Let Lu-se

0:00Ben Mandelker: Your morning has a feeling before it has a plan. The bedroom still, the kitchen beginning to stir, and somewhere between, the air has already shifted.

0:08Ronnie Karam: You chose this fragrance last night, set it in motion to diffuse before you woke, and that's Pura, a modern, sleek diffuser that works quietly, precisely, controlled from your phone.

0:19Ben Mandelker: A collection of beautiful, clean fragrances shaped exactly to your home. Choose your sense of place at Pura.com.

0:27Ronnie Karam: This episode is sponsored by Butterball Turkey. Butterball. Care hard. Cook easy.

0:33Ben Mandelker: I was watching The Real Housewives of Orange County the other night, and I was thinking so much of this drama could have been solved with turkey. I think that about so many things. Exactly. Just get everyone around the table with a delicious meal. A turkey meal. That's how you bring people back together. What if it wasn't Thanksgiving? Being the Grand Dame isn't a one-day-a-year affair. Every day is a chance to get down with turkey burgers, ground turkey, and more. Eating turkey is like watching Bravo. You can do it any time, and the more you do it, the happier you are.

1:02Ronnie Karam: Yeah, Butterball Turkey is made for everyday moments that bring people together with ease, and it tastes great while doing it.

1:09Ben Mandelker: Do you think if a Butterball Turkey showed up at the Real Housewives of Rhode Island reunion, it could bring everyone back together? Maybe it would, girly. Maybe it would. I love a turkey.

1:19Ronnie Karam: Butterball simplifies cooking so you can focus on who you're cooking for. Butterball has turkey made for the way you care,

1:26Ben Mandelker: whether you're cooking for your best friend or mending bridges with your frenemy. Butterball.

1:31Ronnie Karam: Care hard, cook easy.

1:49Ronnie Karam: Who cares what happens when there's so much that happens?

2:19Ronnie Karam: fill me in. What have you guys been doing? Which cities have you gone to? Who's fought? And let me tell you, whatever's happened, it's not Peter's fault. You know Peter. You know he didn't mean it. I'm telling you right now.

2:32Ben Mandelker: Peter, he's a really good judge of character. So Giselle is like, well, we started in Orange County. And Marisol, by the way, is giving up the bedazzled cups.

2:44Ronnie Karam: I've got bedazzled cockies for everybody. buddy it's sort of my thing you know i don't know if you guys have seen my show it's pretty bad you know i have a bedazzled cop whenever because it's cocky so you don't have one with your name on it

2:57Ben Mandelker: but he's like we got to clean up the birds are gonna come the birds are gonna come and then they cut to this like one seagull just strolling along on the beach very slowly which i don't know i thought was so funny and then giselle is like so we went to beverly hills and kyle had a nice white party and then we went to atlanta and it was fun and like says oh i heard that nini's back that's great you know like i don't know if you know this but nini is the second person to come back after a long pause after of course all of us so we're still number one you know and then they talk about vicky um porsche's like vicky you know like you left the party like why did you leave the party she's like it's time to go it was time to go time for the quiet game uh turn on tv and quiet game

3:33Ronnie Karam: was starting so time to go yeah but you know what i was thinking about are you talking about last night yes vicky what do you think they're talking about she's like yeah you left my party she's like uh well you know i had to go yeah my leg hurt if i i got back you know what i got back my knee was so huge it was huge and i i was not finding my people to talk to i was not finding my people everywhere i turned there were just people i wanted to kick out of my neighborhood i just didn't understand it and i stopped watching up to people saying do you belong in this neighborhood show me your address show me your address and then they started filming me on tick tock calling i really don't appreciate that who's karen who is karen well you have to honor the ogs

4:17Ben Mandelker: so then porsche was saying like well were you what was the real feeling that you felt out of place or that your leg hurt because well the real feeling first of all is that like i wasn't feeling well and second of all i just kept standing there by myself and i'd like over there and then like i'd go over there and then we'd all go over there and it just felt like out of place and porsche I was like, yes. Why did you feel out of place, Vicky? Come on. Articulate exactly what it was. She's like, I don't know. I just, you know how sometimes you just sort of get out of place? And they're both like, no.

4:48Ronnie Karam: You know how sometimes you're driving and then you go over train tracks and then suddenly you're like, oh my god. I'm not in the right neighborhood. What neighborhood am I in? Get me out of this neighborhood. That's how I felt. You know what I mean? No. Could you explain it a little bit more? Okay. Look. I feel like just someone call it out. Please, someone call it out. So Portia basically gives her an acceptable answer. Meanwhile, which is Were you mad that they didn't celebrate you, Vicky? Meanwhile, Teresa and Vicky are walking back and a mannequin fell. Teresa's like, one of the mannequins fell.

5:28Ronnie Karam: It's like, oh my god, her head fell off. So then we go back to Portia and she's like, were you jealous that Nini was being celebrated? No, I don't get jealous. I don't get jealous. Yeah, but they didn't celebrate you on the OC and they did celebrate Nini. Do you feel bad about that? It's like, oh, well, I guess I don't need attention. Stop, stop, give me. If you don't need attention, then you wouldn't have walked around to everybody saying I can't stay here. Nobody's being nice to me. You literally left the party because you didn't get attention and now you're saying you don't need attention. Come on.

5:57Ben Mandelker: Yeah, exactly. And then Lisa's like, hey guys, wait, hold on a second. Where's Luann? And this is where we see Luann talking to this random dude on a bike, just like this shirtless guy hey there she's like oh so where are you from you know i love latin guys you know why because i've never been to argentina so i just love latin you know what i love i love a dead language i love a dead language never made me feel more alive wow i have a question if you were to be sent back in time would you and you went to rome would you be able to talk with him because you're latin tell me everything what's it like in argentina where is argentina anyway is it in europe is it in greenland it's in greenland i knew it i knew it all along

I like to lift women up. That's what I'm famous for Everyone knows Countess Luann, the woman who lifts women up and the best way to lift women up is if they're talking to a hot guy You get right in there and you talk to that hot guy too to show that you made a good choice That's how you lift someone up and then if you'd steal that hot guy, that's your way of saying hey young lady Now you've got some free time.

9:40Ronnie Karam: Listen, just think one of my songs if you need to be inspired about something I mean listen the lyrics Chic C 'est la vie, Savoy Savoy Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Walk around the block, cross a red light Watch both ways or traffic's gonna hit you Whatever the lyrics are, you guys know them But it's an iconic song Lift women

9:58Ben Mandelker: I mean Chic C 'est la vie is honestly A feminist anthem I mean when was the last time you heard a song Telling Kelly Ben Simone directly within the lyrics To bring jelly beans somewhere That is called female empowerment

10:11Ronnie Karam: I was like oh my god Luann has a song about everything. You could say, like, I need some more bread at the table. And she's like, I got a song about it, which is true. Luann's making everything about herself, and she won't shut up. And they're trying to have this talk with Vicky, and they keep jumping. I'm like, okay, Luann, great point. Great point about female empowerment. Well, I'll tell you what's a great point. I learned today, because I'm so positive about women, I learned how to say Jose in Latin. Jose. You're welcome.

10:40Ben Mandelker: Listen, let me tell you something about life. Something I've learned while being on the road, being a cabaret star, having such stars as the late Shelley Duvall and Bette Midler's daughter and various other people not be part of the show, but be part of my thoughts during the show. I realized, you know what, it's about learning. It's about growing and becoming a better human in the universe. Give me that fucking megaphone I'm about to make. I'm about to blow all your fucking minds off. So she takes this megaphone out of nowhere. She's about to be very empowering, but then she can't figure out how to turn it off.

11:14Ben Mandelker: No, wait. How do you turn this on? Would someone please empower this megaphone to turn on right now?

11:20Ronnie Karam: There gets the top button. All right. Top button. Are you right? It's not working still. It's not working. Okay. The top button. All right. Got it. Still not working. What the hell? Okay. I don't even need a megaphone. Here's what I was going to say to the megaphone. I'm not here to toot my horn. I'm here toot your horn. Give me your horn to toot. All right. What are you, a tootsurbator? You need someone tuning your kid over here. There.

11:44Ben Mandelker: You're good. Your girls in the OC, what did they do for you? Shit. They did shit. Everybody tried to take you down. Well, guess what, Vicky? Maybe next time you should have a sold out cabaret somewhere.

11:58Ronnie Karam: Ha ha. So Vicky's like, you know, I just, I don't need them to like kiss my butt or anything like that. I just, I just need respect. I need respect. Okay. I'm an insurance. and it's very important you know they squash they squash my sparkle they squash my sparkle

12:18Ben Mandelker: sounds like they did uh and that's effed up uh they should have celebrated you that's why i asked luan's like well you're the reason why they're even on the damn franchise in the first place don't forget that all right don't forget that i'm probably the best housewife here ladies please don't forget that vicky's like okay well you know what you know what they i guess they squash my spark sometimes it's like a lot of them they just did my sparkle oh yes that effervescent rainbow filled sparkle that vicky gundelson is known for i know you know what one thing nobody has said in

15:44Ronnie Karam: So she's like, I can't fake how I feel, but I'm happy. Like, I like you guys. Like, even today, I called Michael, and I was like, oh, my God. You know, I'm so happy. and then Michael said well continue that for 90 days and possibly we'll get married

16:01Ben Mandelker: and um everyone's like oh my god look Vicky sort of opened up a little bit and Giselle's like damn Luana like one moment we all wanted to shut up about her music and lyrics but the next minute she actually made some headway she's actually getting Vicky to open up so Marisol's like well Victoria I just want to say I used to watch you and I used to say I want to do that I want to be someone who screams about a minivan on tv and i told alexia in the car right over here i said oh my god here the fuck i am because of you because of vicky and i want you and i appreciate you

16:32Ronnie Karam: making almost a real door opener thank you so much bless your heart bless your heart you know what remember i was 43 when i started life was very different at 43 very different yeah

16:45Ben Mandelker: now well i want to i want to whoop it i want to whoop it marisol who's just said this whole thing about how she oh i just watched vicky i'm so inspired she's a real hero i just study her every move she's like now let's whoop it i was like i want to keep it up just like you vicky

17:03Ronnie Karam: i want to keep it up vicky that's what you're saying right

17:08Ben Mandelker: it's whip whip it up they're like okay whoop whoop we're all gonna whoop whoop let's all No, it's whoop it up. Whoop it up. It goes whoop it up.

17:17Ronnie Karam: So they start chanting, whoop it up, so that she will party with them tonight, which basically just means get drunk. And so Giselle's like, well, finally, I start to understand Vicky. She's a dry drunk, and she's sensitive, and she does feel awkward. So it shocks me when I find out that not all housewives are like this.

17:38Ben Mandelker: Well, girls, let's go to lunch. We go to lunch. And so they now are kind of good lunch because they all this time They were just sitting on the beach and now they're going to lunch. So Luann's like ooh They walked to this hotel Luann is now drunk and they're walking by this pool in the hotel and there's just like kids swimming the pool and the wind Just starts waving at them like oh look there's children the pool. Hello children. Hi Orange aren't you lucky to see a celebrity today? Hello there. Hello. Hello. I'm not afterwards.

18:03Ronnie Karam: Where are your fathers? Where are your fun? Just pouring him out sport him out

18:07Ben Mandelker: look how beautiful this little children hello children hello which is by the way the exact thing like a witch says the children in any sort of fairy tale hello children so they all get their seats hey I do children's theater you ever heard a little song called she say love II the wheels on this printer van go round and round, round and round, round and... Line? Round.

18:38Ronnie Karam: So, they're going to order some booze. Luann is noticeably drunk. Everyone's already annoyed. And Borsh is like, I ordered shots. And Kyle says, I ordered you a fake one. Oh, no, they ordered a fake one for Kyle, rather. Sorry. So, Lu is fanning Lisa. And Lisa's like, oh my god, I love you. You know what? Like, you're getting my pituitary gland. That's really important.

19:01Ben Mandelker: And Marisol's like, oh, you're a pituitary. That's here on your forehead. She's like, wait, what? What's on the back of your head? Like, well, I don't know. It's like, I'm just like, I'm really good at medical shit. I swear I was a doctor in a past life, to which I say you also were the recipient of probably many malpractice suits in a past life.

19:23Ronnie Karam: Wow, I believe that. I believe that you were a really good doctor. Because, you know, like in a past life, you could be a doctor because like you're a really good lawyer in this life.

19:33Ben Mandelker: I have to say by the way Marisol was right the pituitary gland is where she pointed I was actually kind of shocked that she had any sort of reference about where any gland was

19:44Ronnie Karam: well you usually don't know the placement of something on your body until you have it done surgically you're like hey I've been noticing a little sagging can you fix this that's your pituitary gland whenever just fix it

19:58Ben Mandelker: your old sagging pituitary

20:02Ronnie Karam: why don't you fix your old wrinkly pituitary glands you old whore turns out they do have a procedure for that um so then everybody welcome to my instagram i just wanted to introduce you to um dr tara okay dr tara is working on my pituitary gland today

20:27Ben Mandelker: so marisol says that she was a doctor in her past life and lisa goes i believe you and alexa and you're a lawyer in this one and marissa goes no that's her she points to alexia and lisa's like wait you're a lawyer in this life like no no no i'm a star in this life no no no i'm not a lawyer in this life and marissa's like yeah we're we're both school teachers we graduated as school teachers, which, by the way, how do we never know any of this ever? After 10, 12 years of Miami, we never knew that Alexia and Marisol were originally school teachers. Wow.

21:02Ronnie Karam: That's a lot of drama in that teacher's break room. Oh, my God. Could you imagine? You saw my lunch. You're talking like a crazy person, okay? Fix your pituitary.

21:14Ben Mandelker: You know what? Students, today we're going to learn about Shelstover scene, and we're going to learn about where the sidewalk ends. Honestly, why does the sidewalk have to end? This is why you have to finish the sidewalk because when it ends it's sort of sad. I didn't make a bad sad poem about it but how about you keep on building the sidewalk? Sidewalk's been going forever. I don't know why not.

21:33Ronnie Karam: So they are talking about that a little. They start talking about the party tonight that they're going to have that Lisa's hosting and Kyle's like, Lisa Hochstein? Wow, finally a housewife that Kyle knows about. She does a very big party and uh borsche gets a megaphone she's like hello they're like oh my god finally somebody can

21:54Ben Mandelker: work the megaphone i know uh we see clips from lisa's lingerie party from season two and um alexia is like just like okay so by the way are you going to squash the beef with adriana and borsche is like what like what's the beef and giselle says well we already squashed that beef we squashed it. So apparently Adriana at one point, like on Watch Happens Live, she was asked who was the rudest housewife she's ever encountered. And Adriana is like, it was Giselle. And Giselle's like, I don't even know who this person is at all. But maybe that's why she was considered the rudest one. Because maybe Adriana was like, hi, I'm Adriana.

22:32Ben Mandelker: Giselle's like, are you a fan? I don't know who you are. I just kept on walking.

22:36Ronnie Karam: That's considered very rude at BravoCon because that's also what Shannon Storm's Bedore also got in trouble for recently when someone was like, well, the guy from Southern Charm was like, oh, the rudest I've ever met was Shannon Bedore. I didn't know who's this person. There's a show called Southern Charm. What channel is that on? What are we, BravoCon? What is this, NobodyCon? Alright, get me a hat. Get me a blank hat from your fan club.

23:07Ben Mandelker: Who did she do that to? Was that Wittner or something?

23:13Ben Mandelker: right well i think that's fair that'll happen um so anyway uh then we see that they were at like bravo con last year and uh there was like a squash the beef moment and uh the producer asks if they're okay and just i was like no we're not so um now they are uh doing more shots and vicky is like one thing the ladies need to learn about me is that i cannot be forced to whip it up it just like comes when it comes and sometimes it takes a little tequila to whip it up like i think it

23:42Ronnie Karam: takes you to whip it up but i will try to force you to whip it up every time i'm working it up

23:48Ben Mandelker: so lans like she's starting remember that was one of my famous lines anyway i'd love to make a toast to our host and my love affair with life let's toast to my love affair with life which is these girls and their latin savoir faire as we say in french isn't that funny that you would think i say something in Spanish after I said, and they're Latin, such and such, but then I went to French. Oh, God, I love life. Anyway, let's have a great time. I just want to toast to your mother also, Marisol.

24:17Ronnie Karam: Yeah, Marisol, I really want to talk about your mom, your sweet mamacita that no one ever really called her, but I remember this lady. She was just a, what was her name again? She was a classic. I absolutely loved her.

24:32Ben Mandelker: she was hilarious whatever her name was i remember she was i can't remember was she tall was she short anyway she was a fabulous chinese woman and we just got along so well i believe her name was um miranda like luann you're not even mixing many different people all up at once

24:53Ronnie Karam: she made our show fun yeah my mom my mom you know it was fun our show you guys watch our show Mamacita, that was her name. Mamacita Elsa. Okay. So we see some Mama Elsa greatest hits. I was sex with a Frenchman. I'm a woman of the century, Mary Sol. I'm not Victoria Lady.

25:17Ben Mandelker: You know what? She made you. And forever I'll be grateful to that because I love you so much as the less entertaining version of your mother. Congratulations. Cheers. By the way, tell us a story about your mom. You will have the floor completely uninterrupted for the next 10 minutes. Go on.

25:36Ronnie Karam: Well, you tell a story, Luann. You're the one who was talking to her on the phone all the time. And we called her. Oh, I know. Oh, yeah, I did call her. I would call her and I would say, thank you. Thank you so much for the support in the music industry. And I would sing some tunes for her. I would tell her some Liza stories. I don't know. She would start telling me the times of films. Well, it's because you kept giving everyone your number a 777 film away. I don't know.

26:03Ben Mandelker: Oh, that's right. That's right. That was a huge typo. It was supposed to be 777 fun, but I guess I added an IL in there and then changed the N to an M. And, you know, these things happen. Anyway, but she was great. Well, you know, she used to talk to Nini on the phone, too. But more importantly, she would talk to me. And she was eccentric. She was an eccentric, lovable, better version of Marisol. Am I right, everyone?

26:26Ronnie Karam: All right. Well, we're all going to tell stories now. Kyle, go ahead and tell a story. Go tell your mom Alice's story. She's like, I don't have one. Are you rolling your eyes, Kyle? I can see you rolling your eyes. Listen, I'm no stranger to eye rolls. All right. I've met the New York Times.

26:45Ben Mandelker: She's like, I know an eye roll when I see one. Okay. Have you ever been to one of my shows? Kyle's like, it was not an eye roll. It was an exhale. It was a passive aggressive exhale, not a passive aggressive eye roll.

26:57Ronnie Karam: okay because i actually knew her mother so if you want to tell a story about something you didn't even know and it doesn't appreciate the music you never came out well then you can tell that story but in the meantime i'm telling a story about a huge fan of mine that is now in the afterlife

27:11Ben Mandelker: would you like to talk about that kyle um the thing is that like my mom she just sort of like she was like written about in like a book and like i don't know she like made like a lot of famous people so like i don't know why we're not talking about my mom right now so oh i'm sorry uh

27:24Ronnie Karam: I don't have a discography from your mother. So it doesn't count. All right. You might as well never have been born. So please back away, eye roller.

27:34Ben Mandelker: All right. Well, I'll tell a story. That was our first season. My mom had, you know, she asked a lot of questions. She's like, what are you doing? I don't understand. Like, what's going on? So she came. She showed up. And she came walking in a cane. Can you believe it? A cane. And I'm like, what are you doing with a cane? And next thing you know, the network found out. They're like, what? There's a lady with a cane. We want more of that cane. And you know what? Guess what? But next thing you know, here's Mama Elsa on the show. And, you know, I'm happy she had that in the last few years of her life.

27:59Ronnie Karam: Well, this was actually sad because she's like, Yeah, Mama Elsa came in. She was dressed really fabulously and completely insane clowns. And, you know, she said a few lines. And then the producers called and they said, That's what we want. Get her back. So, yeah, I'm glad she had that. That was good for her.

28:19Ben Mandelker: All her, not me.

28:22Ronnie Karam: so lisa's like it must be cold there in my shadow to never have sunlight on your face money soul

28:31Ben Mandelker: lisa's like but don't you love that like that the world got to experience your mom and know that there was something at least entertaining in your bloodline and she's like yeah i mean i know i mean like you know the whole thing was just kind of so short because right before like five days before she started filming season three she had a stroke and never recovered and Vicky's like oh like oh I didn't know she died and Luan's like well I want to die having sex or a heart attack so I have a very funny story is everyone ready to have a funny death story instead of this sad mama Elsa version they're like uh yeah we're talking about someone's

29:05Ronnie Karam: mom dying currently well all right well my mommy's sister she's 90 she gets up in the night her husband's not there so she goes to the bathroom I'm like Elvis he's dead on the toilet on the throne isn't that great i mean dead like ellis just sitting there on the pot dead oh

29:24Ben Mandelker: now that i think about it was my uncle elvis wait a second let me go no it wasn't all this but for a moment i thought that's where i get it the skill that is so portia's like um not only can the wind not really sing she can't really read a room either like what the are you doing because is like this moment and like i think i as a viewer was like you know like marisol was sharing about her mom passing and i thought this might actually lead to vicky sharing something about that like heart-wrenching scene where her mom passed during bunco night i sort of thought we were going in that place but of course luann fully hijacks it to like cackle about some hilarious way that her

30:03Ronnie Karam: uncle died on a toilet because the man wasn't really asking like oh how do we feel about your mom passing she's just saying that so she has an excuse to bring up a story which is the uncle being dead on the toilet she said to sit there and wait this whole time through all of this mama elsa stuff to get her story out yes uh we're talking about someone's dead mother here yeah so anyway i go mom how to even stay on the toilet if he's dead you know what i mean but he did let me tell you that man knew how to pop and squat so she says in her french canadian accent you know

30:37Ben Mandelker: dear i think he must have been stiff and he just fell over stiff boom huh isn't that hilarious everyone he was stiff rigor mortis rigor mortis or as i like to call it rigor boner am i right

30:49Ronnie Karam: guys anyone i told her it's not really even weird when i'm around guys are stiff all the time i wouldn't even notice you know what i'm saying girls uh so marissa's like oh okay well that's

31:02Ben Mandelker: great well you know what you should connect with mom elsa how do you do that is that like dial up Okay, go tell Mama Elsa we say hi and ask her if she's seen my horny uncle.

31:13Ronnie Karam: You know, wishing it a medium, you should ask Mama Elsa if they get screeners and if she's seen my performance in ziplining into the mail bushes. That was great. That was great.

31:23Ben Mandelker: Okay, okay. So this sentimental moment has gone off the rails. So let's pivot to something else. Can I clear up something that happened before Miami? Is that okay, Miami girls? Okay, so here we are. okay we were pressed for time we were given a time to go and lisa you got on the bus and we waited for you so instead of you being apologetic you get on the bus and like hi guys blah blah blah so because you came in like that it triggered me to the point where i didn't want to see your face

31:49Ronnie Karam: i didn't want to hear anything you had to say yeah yeah you know what i felt that you know what i just needed to take a bait i needed to take a bait sorry but the fact that you didn't know that you had to apologize was crazy yeah yeah i messed up i messed up yeah i did i messed up like you guys are my friends and like i love that we're on this journey together and i'm gonna somehow like say all of these nice things and make you guys forgive me without saying the words i'm sorry one time so you know what you're absolutely right and you know i shouldn't have done that can i say something

32:27Ben Mandelker: just a little something just a little bit so she's she's like trying to like ding ding ding but it's plastic glasses.

32:32Ronnie Karam: Why are these plastic glasses in this nice ass restaurant?

32:36Ben Mandelker: And Kyle goes, we're by the pool. He's like, oh, okay. Anyway.

32:43Ben Mandelker: So Luanne's like, well, Lisa, we did have a plan to catch. Okay. And Portia's like, yeah, I mean, when I talk to Salt Lake girls, the way you framed it with them is that they're saying something to you. And Luanne's like, oh, I love her. Look at Portia. Look at her go. Isn't she just great the way she talks? She's like, God damn it, let me say my speech. She's like, oh, there she goes again. She knows my name. Isn't that amazing? I mean, so many people know my name at this point, but it's still an honor.

33:08Ronnie Karam: Oh, man, God damn it. Well, we're talking nice about you. What are you complaining about? We're saying great things about you, aren't we, girls?

33:15Ben Mandelker: Come cop on me in a minute, okay? No, we're fawning. I love you. God damn it, Luan.

33:24Ronnie Karam: So Portia's like, well, we want to have a different experience, okay? I swear to God, that's what we're giving to her with Vicky. So, you know, with all your friends on Salt Lake hating you. Oh, lift each other up. That's what we're saying. Have you heard my music? It's all about empowerment. That's what Portia's trying to say. And if you haven't streamed the album yet, you're missing out. Shut the fuck up, Luann. Okay. Well, they feel like you do not take accountability, Lisa. And I know that you didn't mean to be late. But when you got on the bus, all you had to do was say, hey, guys, my bad.

34:00Ronnie Karam: I'm sorry. You went away. That's all you needed to do. God damn it, Morgan. Sailing. Take me away. That's a cover. But it's still one of my most popular ones.

34:11Ben Mandelker: You know what? I was in the wrong 100 % because I understand it's a respect thing. And for me, I think, like, because I'm building relationships with you guys and friendships and, like, my experiences aren't the same, I think I went defense mode 100%. Thank you so much.

34:26Ronnie Karam: oh wow I can see that oh I can see that too okay okay then I am happy with this I am happy with this it is solved yeah but you know what like audience I just left the reunion and it was like really hard you know like I'm done bury it move on and then the fact all you know like I'm what like five minutes late or something then everybody gets all upset with me and then like you know what it's like putting me back in that place of attacking me for no reason and that's where I was that day. So sorry. Okay, so what? You were not five minutes late. You were at least 30 minutes late. So you can't equate that with being attacked for no reason because that was being attacked for some reason which makes all your being attacked on Salt Lake City also for some reason.

35:14Ronnie Karam: Oh Lisa, just stop. Stop there.

35:19Ben Mandelker: So yeah, Portia's basically like, look, we're not with those Salt Lake girls. We came with you. Okay. And that's your stuff, et cetera. Yeah. But you know what? You know what? You know what? Giselle's like, listen, let's get to the, like, okay, we all have different relationships with people that are on different shows. And in Beverly Hills, you know, I ran into Whitney and Bronwyn. And no Whitney. Yes. Well, Whitney, Whitney's my girl. We went to it. And then we went to Atlanta and Angie and Heather and I spoke to, you know, Heather, she's my girl. Like anyone that like Giselle has met at some point, she's like, that's my girl.

35:51Ben Mandelker: but an overwhelming lingering thought that they had was that you talk to the blogs ah

35:56Ronnie Karam: but i don't though i don't though i don't talk to blogs i'm not done blogs blogs are things that you read they're not even a thing anymore whatever now i know you guys are getting

36:08Ben Mandelker: ready for filming again and i'm saying to you if you are doing it you need to stop

36:13Ronnie Karam: and uh so giselle says you know housewives do get caught doing that and then we see a flashback from DC of Angie saying, I met a blogger in DC and he recognized her number because he had it in his telephone.

Cook easy.

38:10Ben Mandelker: I was watching The Real Housewives of Orange County the other night, and I was thinking so much of this drama could have been solved with turkey. I think that about so many things. Exactly. Just get everyone around the table with a delicious meal, a turkey meal. That's how you bring people back together. What if it wasn't Thanksgiving? Being the Grand Dame isn't a one-day-a-year affair. Every day is a chance to get down with turkey burgers, ground turkey, and more. Eating turkey is like watching Bravo. You can do it anytime, and the more you do it, the happier you are.

38:40Ronnie Karam: Yeah, Butterball Turkey is made for everyday moments that bring people together with ease, and it tastes great while doing it.

38:46Ben Mandelker: Do you think if a Butterball Turkey showed up at the Real Housewives of Rhode Island reunion, it could bring everyone back together? Maybe it would, girly. Maybe it would. I love a turkey.

38:57Ronnie Karam: Butterball simplifies cooking so you can focus on who you're cooking for.

39:01Ben Mandelker: Butterball has turkey made for the way you care, whether you're cooking for your best friend or mending bridges with your frenemy.

39:08Ronnie Karam: Butterball, care hard, cook easy.

39:38Ben Mandelker: logs like because i was late on the van like all of a sudden like my character's shut like make this

39:43Ronnie Karam: make sense no their your character was shit because your castmates came in and talked shit about you and giselle's gonna run with that every single day until she gets you upset about it that's that the being late for the bus was a totally separate thing that they're also using but

39:57Ben Mandelker: well it's kind of like the castmates came in and they were attacking lisa's character and then like on directly on the heels that lisa you did something that completely confirmed what they were saying which is that like you're defiant you dig in you don't take responsibility so that has now giselle saying wait a second maybe they were right about everything so the point is lisa you you give it like a few days after the salt lake girls don't like completely mess up like right within the same 12 hour window yeah that being late and then not apologizing was

40:30Ronnie Karam: a stupid move. But Giselle saying like, oh, Heather and Whitney, those are my girls and Heather is the most trustworthy person I know or whatever she said in the first episode she talked about Heather. Heather was the one who stole your tequila and never told you for the entire year of that trip that set Giselle off that entire thing. Do you remember in Thailand?

40:51Ben Mandelker: Who stole

40:53Ronnie Karam: my tequila? My Glace Azula.

40:57Ben Mandelker: So So, yeah, then Kyle's like, yeah, I mean, I never heard this rumor because, like, I mean, I don't even know what their show is. It's crazy. But, like, that's, like, a big no-no. Like, you don't do that. Like, if you talk to the blogs, then you're going to be run off the show by me and Dorit and Teddy. So, then, Teresa's like.

41:16Ronnie Karam: Yeah, I mean, I don't think that Lisa had no reason to do that. Like, I don't think she would ever do that. What are we talking about, by the way? Are we talking about cooking? Huh? What? okay but there's nothing coming from me you know that's and it doesn't come on my show and it's like do you swear on your kids heads okay i don't even care about your kids bodies if you're lying do you accept that your kids will be decapitated probably whoa luann jesus

41:41Ben Mandelker: speaking of which hi children in the pool hello don't worry the celebrity's still nearby you're

41:46Ronnie Karam: safe okay hello children okay i swear on god you know what strike me dead if i'm lying strike me

41:53Ben Mandelker: dead and so um kyle's like can i say something can i say something so um that night i heard them say that you were a fraud and i heard and i heard you so then we see this and teresa's saying how you know hannah was so out of line and lisa she had a feeling she was gonna get attacked and surely Guess what? She got attacked. And I told her, I got your back.

42:20Ronnie Karam: I got your back. Yeah, listen, my daughter, Gia, just watched Salt Lake City and the whole show, you know what she said to me? She's like, Gia, that's like you, Lisa. She's like you on your show. Well, people just coming after her all the time for no reason. For no reason. I would say yes. That is absolutely like you. Two people who think there's never any reason.

42:46Ben Mandelker: nothing to a toxic environment that has people coming after them

42:49Ronnie Karam: like infuriated at all times i saw it firsthand and my firsthand i mean gs lion told me

43:03Ben Mandelker: giselle i got i'm gonna say it plainly if i have something to say i say it with this mouth or these hands i don't need to go through anybody else they're like oh what do your hands do like are you going to punch us?" She's like, no, I typed. I'll tweet it. I'll message it myself. I don't hide behind things. Look, if I have something to say, I'll use my own fingers to say it to a blogger. Okay? And I'll say it with his mouth and his hands. Okay, got it? Does it make sense now?

43:27Ronnie Karam: Leon Lockins at home like, that's not how you use hands.

43:32Ben Mandelker: This is how you use hands. Someone over the weekend at that wedding was like, have you ever been to the Roundup? And I was like, Have I been to the Roundup? Come on. So, anyway, Maricel's like, by the way, I haven't heard from Vicky at all today. Vicky, what's going on over there? She's like, no, I'm just over here drinking. I'm just drinking, having a good time. Whoop it up, yeah. Whoop it up, Vicky. Whoop it up. Like, let her talk. Let her give her some screen time. Well, I'm trying to. Okay, Vicky, repeat after me. Whoop it up. It's kind of my saying.

44:05Ronnie Karam: Vicky, would you like to make a toast? You should make a toast. Okay, okay, I'm going to make a toast. yeah yeah here here here i toast to toasting all right here some ships are good ships some ships are bad ships some ships are friendships i don't give a if you're in a relationship get over here what's your name so then because okay so here we are on a trip together hold on one second

44:32Ben Mandelker: timing is everything it's not it's not the right timing you know timing timing is that you have to wait to the right time you know what i mean that's the thing here's the thing about time time keeps on ticking uh into the future am i right you know time if i could turn back time you know what i would do i would turn back to the time when i got this hairstyle which was about 45 years ago you never know because it's still so current am i right ladies okay vicky when are you gonna do your speech

44:56Ronnie Karam: okay okay i'm just gonna i was just gonna i would like to make a test oh my god yes let me tell you something. This is a bad time for that making. Are you really going to learn timing? Who are you telling to learn timing? Have you ever listened to yourself try to stay on track?

45:13Ben Mandelker: Oh, hold on one second. Before this, I need a vape. I need a vape before this speech. Okay. Children, children, does anyone want to have a vape from mommy's vape? Anyone? No drag from mommy's vape? No? Children in the pool.

45:25Ronnie Karam: I was like, I don't smoke. Why are you asking me for a vape? Oh, I thought you had your vape. You gave me a vape on the first Ultimate Girls trip. Oh, I'm sorry. I just out Kyle again for marijuana smoking.

45:38Ben Mandelker: Somebody gag her. Please, someone gag her. I can't get through this toast. The new anderson wants it to be about her. It's my turn now.

We have to protect each other. If you see me in public, Like, please talk to me and don't make me feel stupid. Like, stupid widow at a party.

They're so fucking sick. I literally think they're like mentally ill stalker people, my cast. They're like sick.

46:57Ben Mandelker: The Salt Lake girls like don't want me to have a good time. They don't want people to like me. There's a reason they're always trying to make things up about me. They don't want people to see the real me. And this trip gives me an opportunity and they hate that for themselves.

47:13Ronnie Karam: And that brings us to the end of Real Housewives. What? Girls trip. What about that?

47:18Ben Mandelker: No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. No. No.

48:40Ronnie Karam: about this when women can support each other. Lisa's just sobbing behind her. It's really important to be sensitive to other women's needs. You know what I mean? Everyone hates me. Yeah, well, you know, life is about self, okay? And respect for self. And that's the most important thing. How are you going to have respect for other people if you're not one of your own fans? I sign my own autograph every day. You know, I'm not thanking myself for it. I look at myself in the mirror and I start crying because I'm honored to see me. You know what I mean?

49:13Ben Mandelker: Yeah, she just starts, they just show this montage of Luann just monologuing in the car. And they're all just like, oh my God, shut up.
