3:32Ronnie Karam: well you know that what this means for me this is going to be my annual week of where's ben

3:46Ronnie Karam: everyone be nice to ronnie okay i'm just kidding i'm just kidding People are really nice to me when you're gone But you know it is sad when you're gone I miss Danny

3:55Ben Mandelker: Likewise

3:59Ben Mandelker: No it's hard

4:00Ronnie Karam: But there are really fun guests As usual coming on Some of our this is where we get to spend time with our podcast Friends that we never really get to see During the year This Christmas I know I can't wait Let's talk about some Boavel headlines Shall we So we talked a little bit earlier this week that there's a lot of Below Deck controversy. Yeah. Because they're shooting the new season now of Below Deck Med. And apparently Joy and Coop are both on it. And there was a picture posted on Reddit of them holding hands. And then Kat posted a video on TikTok being like, hi, guys. It's me, Kat. It was the weirdest video I've ever seen because I really like her on the show.

4:49Ronnie Karam: she's real weird on TikTok and she was like yeah well it's screws when you're like it sucks when you're like screwed over by someone that you like and you know who I mean queen and I unfollowed you I unfollowed you so you know who I am and everyone went to see what she unfollowed and she unfollowed Joy the chef

5:08Ben Mandelker: I can't believe it I want to know what the backstory is it's like I want to know but I also actually don't want to know because I don't think I'm going to care enough. It has no shade to this story. It's just like, it's going to play out on below deck, and it's going to be boring when we actually see it. It's one thing to be like, oh my god, what happened? But then when we actually get to the episode, it'll be like Joy and Coop, and we'll be like, why? Why are you doing to this? I want Joy to get someone more interesting than Coop.

5:38Ronnie Karam: Yeah, me too. But, you know, Joy can continue making terrible decisions as far as men go. I mean, who am i to judge that's what i do you know yeah i guess as long as you just keep being funny and entertaining me but that coop that's another southern charm boy right there yeah yeah yeah

5:57Ben Mandelker: i just i get worried i get worried for joy i just think that like i don't know i don't know what's for a guy do you think joy deserves what's for a guy would you like to see joy with i don't know

6:08Ronnie Karam: i'm really bad at coupling people up you know i feel like the only people that you can ever make obvious comments about they should couple up are like really hot people you know like the quarterback and the homecoming you know the quarterback and the what do you call it the prom queen or whatever the cheerleader cheerleader or whatever i feel like obvious ones um uh texas

6:33Ben Mandelker: girl in virginia says does coop remind anyone else of kenneth from 30 rock 100 he is kenneth the page i think um i think you know you were just mentioning before we started recording uh we're talking about the emmys they're talking about matthew reese and i'm like that's kind of who i could see joy with like a matthew reese or like a clive owen type some sort of like some sort of like haughty british actor who smokes who i think i might not like in person but i like the idea of

7:00Ronnie Karam: him being with joy in a weird way you know yeah yeah actually i would say matthew reese character you know i don't really know anything about him in real life but yeah i could see her with the

7:13Ben Mandelker: guy from widow's bay yeah i mean i haven't seen widow's bay but like um i've seen like an episode or two of the diplomat and like that seems like i like i like i think that she needs to be with someone who might wear like a blazer somewhere.

7:28Ronnie Karam: That one of Carrie What's-Her-Face from Philly.

7:30Ben Mandelker: Yeah.

7:31Ronnie Karam: He's in that too? God, that man is in everything.

7:34Ben Mandelker: He's in everything. He really is in everything. I haven't seen much with him, but he gets around. He works. He was in Brothers and Sisters, remember, back in the day?

7:44Ronnie Karam: Yeah. Wasn't he the brother who really wanted to lose weight? Was he the gay brother? I don't know.

7:50Ben Mandelker: I've actually only seen one episode of that show also.

7:53Ronnie Karam: I only saw a couple, and one was a gay guy, and he had a boyfriend and he was really upset. He was really obsessed with losing weight. And then the boyfriend was like, can't you just go one day without running? This is starting to be an issue. And he's like, no, I can't. And then he cried to Sally Field about it. Wait, is that it?

8:13Ben Mandelker: Sally Field? Sally Field is in it, yes. Sally Field. R.I.P. Anyway.

8:19Ronnie Karam: You know, listen, you come here for current Bravo headlines and you get some Sally Field drops. Okay.

8:24Ben Mandelker: The point is, I think I want to see Joy with someone who's kind of academic. And I don't know. He'll be pouring the wine while she's cooking the clams on the stove. I don't want to see her with a coop. What conversation are they going to have? You know?

8:43Ronnie Karam: Not much. But she does like being upset with the people she's with. And you know he's going to be annoying to be with. If this is even true. Who knows? But I'm still obsessed with your idea of her being with Matthew Reese because he really plays distressed well. And I think that you're right. She needs to be with a distressed man who's about to fall apart.

9:01Ben Mandelker: Yeah. And a guy whose hair is a little untamed.

9:07Ronnie Karam: Yes. Texas Girl in Virginia, again, says he was so good in The Beast in Me with Queer Dames. He was.

9:14Ben Mandelker: That was one of his Emmy wins. The Beast in Me, I don't even know what that's about.

9:21Ronnie Karam: but um i feel like it is a distressed very depressed you know you know how she plays in every role yes well there's there's that girl on on instagram who does like claire danes like

9:35Ben Mandelker: going to the shopping it's so funny the beast in me feels like it's about jen from below deck i'm literally like i'm like very calm i haven't crashed out in like seven days i'm doing so well

9:51Ronnie Karam: yeah so she's like a distressed um journalist or author or something and he's a like a snotty guy killed uh who is accused of killing his wife but she doesn't know if he really did it and so she's gonna figure it out for her own personal reasons um watched all 10 hours could have been three

10:16Ben Mandelker: I'm being told here that Matthew Reese was not in The Diplomat so then he's not a regular cast member but I don't watch The Diplomat so his long time real life partner is Kerry Russell so I just must have felt him through Kerry Russell I was like look at that, look at Matthew Reese, you know, just really starring in this show, like that's Kerry Russell well he wasn't in the he wasn't in The Diplomat

10:45Ronnie Karam: he was great in the diplomat he's even good in things he's not in that's why he got two emus

10:49Ben Mandelker: in one night the man is good and shit he's not even in he was so good in the diplomat you guys the way he the way he played the man who blended in with the wall that's he was so good i don't super mario oh you know why guys okay rufus sewell was in the diplomat and i'm sorry there's a very thin line between rufus sewell and matthew reese i'm gonna say that right now i think that's a fair mistake on my part but also by the way rufus sewell also

11:19Ronnie Karam: another good person for joy i'm looking him up oh rufus sewell i don't think he's he's like matthew

11:29Ben Mandelker: reese but he is cute i think they're i think they have that sort of like wide face hosting real

11:37Ronnie Karam: Housewives of Orange County next week. So join us for that. The man is multi-talented. They're going to come back and be like, oh my God, he was so good on that. Matthew Rees was so good on that Orange County recap.

11:47Ben Mandelker: Emily's going to start shit with him. Well, I don't understand. If you weren't on The Diplomat, why do you look like the guy from The Diplomat if you weren't trying to be on The Diplomat?

11:57Ronnie Karam: Wait a minute. Are you a secret American? Yes or no?

12:01Ben Mandelker: You know what, Heather? I thought it was really bad that you called Matthew Rhys trash.

12:09Ronnie Karam: Did you watch The Americans that he was in?

12:13Ben Mandelker: Okay, so maybe this is how it all happened. I only saw bits and pieces, but I think this is what happened. He was in The Americans with Kerry Russell. Then Kerry Russell's in a show called The Diplomat. I think it's very easy to conflate the two because you have one show called The Americans, one show called The Diplomat. They're both very government-y sounding. I know one's about spies, one's about the government. She's in one of them. She's in a relationship with the guy from The Americans. Then in the new show, she's with Rufus Sewell, who to me has this broad, shield-faced look of Matthew Reese.

12:50Ben Mandelker: I think that I don't want to hear it from anyone. I think this is the way it is. I think we should put Matthew Reese into The Diplomat and then everything can be solved.

13:02Ronnie Karam: He stresses me out because he always plays such dramatic roles, you know? Okay, I made my volume higher, so tell me if I'm still too low. You sound good. Oh, I don't know why I put that. I think I sound the same to you either way, but on YouTube you're very loud because Ben is on a travel mic, so our settings are weird. Yeah. Okay, so we are not skipping the SLC premiere. We actually already watched it and did it early. Why would we ever? Because Ben is leaving town to Norway. Of course, we're not skipping SLC, although it was tempting because I don't like really sad, depressing things. And this is the episode where we hear about Robert Jr.'s passing and all of that good stuff.

13:43Ronnie Karam: So I was doing everything I could to avoid talking about that.

13:46Ben Mandelker: Yeah, and I was like, and you know what else was so beautiful about it was just the way they all gathered together. You're like, uh-huh, move forward, move forward. but I thought it was a really good episode I think it was a very hard episode to do and I thought we love our housewives when they're being funny and outrageous but also there is something to be said about seeing people come together in tough moments and I think they handled it very tactfully which is not a word that I think has ever been used with the real housewives of Salt Lake City so you know I think it was good

14:19Ronnie Karam: and they still managed to make you laugh even in those scenes which is very that show i mean it's just very skilled with that kind of stuff yeah um i was in a i was in the a cast offices in new york doing it and they didn't have enough time for me to stay in the studio so i moved to one of these sound booth things and it's glass and so you can see out the up the door and there was a really cute guy who just started working at a cast and so we're talking about this i'm trying to avoid talking about this kid dying which you know so depressing and i keep seeing this hot guy and so in the middle of the discussion i'm literally like half about to cry and half cruising a hot person so that's why all i really needed was a tub of ice cream to make that my life that's all right checking out hot guys and eating ice cream that's

15:08Ben Mandelker: how i roll that's what you should do when you're crying right you need to find the silver lining So, like, why not? Speaking of Salt Lake City, by the way, let's talk about our sweet, sweet Lisa Barlow. She landed a great endorsement after all this time. There is now going to be a Lisa Barlow meal at Wendy's. This is a real thing that is happening. There was a real commercial with Lisa in a convertible being like, I love Baby Gorgeous, and now you can have my meal. I'm so excited for it and it's they play her song they do everything like it's it's a it's a full-on

15:50Ronnie Karam: lisa barlow moment yeah here's a picture of her this is the wendy's website so this is lisa wendy's is bringing big bravo energy with digital exclusive meal a digital exclusive meal do i have to eat it digitally is this like cookies like what does this mean but like the only thing in life i don't want to move to digital i'm fine with everything else moving to i don't like carrying around regular dollars i don't need to smoke analog cigarettes anymore i'm fine with the electronic vapes i'm fine with like men even being digitally like penis i'm fine with digital penis eating you're not taking eating away from me like that is not

16:33Ben Mandelker: going digital well don't you worry we have um details here which it says um wendy's is going the distance with this digital exclusive meal only available in the Wendy's app and on DoorDash. So I guess you just can only get it through apps. You can't actually go into Wendy's and order it, which is good because I probably would have gone into Wendy's. And it says - That's actually unfair.

16:57Ronnie Karam: I don't think that's fair. I feel like if you're going to have a Wendy's meal with Lisa Barlow, all the Bravo queens need to be able to drive through and pull up and and say, hi, once I eat Coke, I love that, you know, do our Lisa Barlow for the poor people working at Wendy's. Well,

17:16Ben Mandelker: maybe if it's a hit, it'll cross over. So, between September 16th and September 30th, when you order it, you are entered to a chance to win the gorgeous, the gorgeous stacked baby gorgeous sweepstakes, which I don't even know what you, what you win from the hat. I don't, what do you get from the baby gorgeous sweepstakes do you do you get like do you get like fresh wolf or something like that it doesn't even say just you get that what if you just get that you open your happy

17:50Ronnie Karam: meal and they're like um you owe vita tequila you owe the vita tequila founders you get a thousand

17:56Ben Mandelker: dollars for whatever yeah you you're invited to pay back the creditors um it says you'd you get a chance to win items like wendy's gift cards bravo inspired merchandise travel goodies beauty must-haves personalized videos from lisa barlow or a ten thousand dollar cash prize and then less the lisa barlow baby gorgeous meal includes 10 piece chicken nuggets medium hot and crispy fries medium diet coke or a choice of beverage and barbecue sauce or choice of dipping sauce um righteous

18:31Ronnie Karam: as Gemstone said, mind you, her meal is just the number three, a la mayo.

18:37Ben Mandelker: I was about to say, it does seem sort of like a very average thing. Like, there's nothing, it seems like there's nothing special or sexy about it. It's just the Lisa Barlow meal. They just call it the Lisa Barlow meal. What would your meal be? At Wendy's? Yeah. It would probably just be a gift certificate to McDonald's. actually like that's not a shame i just actually don't know wendy's very well i've only been there like twice well you just blew that one i know i've only been there like twice a month happen

19:12Ronnie Karam: listen you are not about to get butterballed on that one that's for sure i listen if wendy's

19:18Ben Mandelker: wants to lead me into their universe i will go um i probably would like it because i really like a lot of fast food um i think my order would probably well tell me what's like on there i don't know what's on their mouth don't they have like a the best thing i think was always

19:34Ronnie Karam: and it's the only thing i you know it's how i eat at every restaurant i have one thing that i like and back when i ate meat which was you know a long time i ate um the single with cheese like just the classic single with cheese so i would do that meal but i would do it with um jalapenos no mayonnaise just mustard um i would kind of make it like a whataburger i would add some onions to it and then take off the piece of meat that's in there and instead put french fries and then as the side i would have the old version of the fries that were still kind of soggy yeah and a dr pepper that'd be my drink 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.

23:08Ronnie Karam: My friend named that.

23:10Ben Mandelker: Really?

23:11Ronnie Karam: yeah i have a friend who's a namer her name is canon she makes things that's what she does for a living she comes up with names for shit and she made her name is canon made the baconator

23:36Ronnie Karam: i also love honestly is this a wendy's promo it's really not this is not a baked an ad this is just

23:43Ben Mandelker: us talking um son of baconator i i love that because i feel like there's so many expectations you know son of baconator is like i just want to go into the sciences

23:55Ronnie Karam: uh someone the righteous gemstone again you're cracking me up today says never forget the lady they sued because she lied about the finger in the chili it was lisa barlow it was whitney someone put lisa barlow put a finger in my chili oh salt lake city is also good for that whitney comes back she got in trouble because she was at a drag show and someone was taping her and she was like meredith is a bitch and lisa barlow is a cut fitness and so they had ammo against her so this here she comes back and say i have had to have a discussion with myself about my relationship with drinking now i'm changing so it's like a whitney 2.0 storyline oh god she's pulling the

24:46Ben Mandelker: jacks i am suburb um yeah so she yeah i um whitney is whitney's definitely going to be in the la la lane this season because um it's all the attention is going to be on bronwyn and her relationship but then when you see like but i'm getting separated too guys and by the way there was

25:07Ronnie Karam: a photo of bronwyn with a new man today did you see that i did yes a salt and pepper the salt and

25:14Ben Mandelker: pepper guy he literally brings salt and pepper to uh wendy's for the baconator baby gorgeous meal is baby gorgeous not brought to you

25:27Ronnie Karam: baby gorgeous

25:28Ben Mandelker: if we talk about Wendy's enough I think we could maybe land a Wendy's sponsorship which is very exciting

25:35Ronnie Karam: you started this with I hate but my choice would be to go to McDonald's I mean it's over

25:43Ben Mandelker: maybe if they had bought a sponsorship before then I wouldn't have said it that just is a lesson to all you sponsors out there

25:49Ronnie Karam: better get on board now

25:51Ben Mandelker: because otherwise you never know what's going to come out of these lips.

25:54Ronnie Karam: If he had his choice on what to order from Wendy's Ben would choose a Butterball. And that's why it fucks. I really am a Butterball fan. Okay, that's enough of that. And we're going to make everyone crazy. Okay, so huge news. Tom Sandoval says he's open to joining the Valley after Danny Bucco and Nia Sanchez's exit. Yeah, we know you're open, Tom.

26:19Ben Mandelker: yeah one thing everybody knows is that you're open no does do any of these people want to film with tom sandoval i don't i think they 100 do not want to film this with tom sandoval because then it becomes the tom sandoval show and i don't think any of them are are excited about that

26:37Ronnie Karam: yeah no it's not gonna happen i just thought it was pretty funny um something else i thought was funny that's absolutely not news in any way shape or form when you go through all these links i use RH discussion on Reddit. I think there's so many funny people in there. Their threads are great, but I'd love to go through them because they compiled news links. So before we do crappy, I just go through there really. Basically, I'm lazy. So I crack up because the influencer headlines are really funny. Like Lisa Rinna has a PR person that's in there constantly. Every day, there's stories about Lisa Rinna.

27:13Ronnie Karam: Like, what does Lisa Rinna think about this moisturizer? Or Lisa Torina thinks her daughter should be on Dancing with the Stars. You know, there's always something. But now the New York headlines are starting to come out because Real Housewives of New York just came back. And so I was cracking up with these headlines. The first one is Real Housewives of New York, Cy Da Silva spills her New York Fashion Week essentials. Okay, that's not funny. But then the one that followed it. Hold on, where is this thing? Oh, my God, where is it? I fucked up my own links. It's something like, oh yeah, here it is.

27:49Ronnie Karam: Sonia Morgan keeps her summer fun going poolside in Southampton, New York with carousel fungal nail renewal.

28:02Ronnie Karam: That's just so old New York versus new New York, you know?

28:07Ben Mandelker: That's how you do it. That's amazing. You have a link in here. It's in Love Island USA news. Island USA star Jen Terry weighs in on Keita Boss shading Ariana Maddox in season eight. Now, Jen, for you guys who don't remember, she is the one that was called a nothing burger. And she's the one at the reunion was like, oh, my God. Like, I know. So, yeah, she's she said Keita Boss's shade towards Ariana Maddox wasn't a big deal moment. Perhaps a nothing burger moment. So then why is this an article? she weighs in to say it was nothing okay oh i just read the headline and i was like oh it said love island ben will love yeah i was i was excited but now i'm reading i'm like um she doesn't she says that the the moment was clipped to make it look like shade towards ariana but i don't remember kata shading ariana what happened i don't remember that did i miss it during that's why that's why i

29:06Ronnie Karam: was interested in the headline i was like oh what'd she say about ariana you know what i was so

29:11Ben Mandelker: captivated that i must have just been like it just must have missed i just must have missed it i was just thinking about all the exciting things happening in that reunion you know it you know

29:19Ronnie Karam: it's hard yeah track well jen um jen is iconic to me only because she had one really iconic line in the season and that's when the guy was like oh yeah i own a surf shop but we also serve coffee And she went, sick! I thought that was the funniest shit. I just kept rewinding it, like trying to be interested in that. She'll never make a compromise.

29:52Ronnie Karam: I will never compromise. Someone's asking about Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. I made it through half of the last season. and I made it to the episode. They were at, I don't know, some influencing thing and all the guys were there and then Dakota showed up and then Dakota and Taylor Frankie Paul were outside talking and she was crying so hysterically for probably the 50th time on that show where she was like, just freaking out to the point where I was like, this isn't healthy and I can't watch this anymore. And I turned it off. So that's my very long answer of saying no, I'm not caught up with that.

30:34Ben Mandelker: I saw What's-Her-Face's Husband on Dancing Stars. We all know. You guys know. Season 1 villain. Oh, yeah. He's now on Broadway.

30:47Ronnie Karam: I was going to say the Mormon guy, but I mean, it's called Mormon Wives.

30:51Ben Mandelker: Yeah, the guy who always looked different every single time. Connor. Connor.

30:55Ronnie Karam: Related to –

30:55Ben Mandelker: I saw him on Dancing Stars.

30:56Ronnie Karam: Oh, I thought you were going to say related to Ben Affleck, the Affleck husband. So the other.

31:00Ben Mandelker: No, Whitney. Whitney's husband, Connor. Thank you, everyone, for the assists. And he was so cheesy. We need to hear it during every show, everybody. I know. We'll just have you guys in the audience to help us. Oh, Connor lost last night. Good. Because he was so bad. He was so cheesy and so bad. He had this stupid shirt on. I don't even remember what he danced to, but I just was mortified for him. It was terrible. i can't believe he was on that well because whitney did really well on it well you know well here's the thing hulu has been trying to build up a like an extended universe like bravo so they're like really going out of their way to put their mormon wives and their vanderpump villa people and stassi they're trying to get them on all the different shows and like you know obviously mormon wives that's like a huge show and like you know it's it's a big deal but quite frankly none of these people have the same power of a bravo juggernaut you know i hate to i hate to say it but this is the truth of it and so like you can't just put connor on dancing with the stars and hope and like hope that's going to drive traffic that just it just

32:08Ronnie Karam: won't nah no that's not going to happen and that's what that was another thing that got on my nerves about the last season of The Mormon Wives was the guys being like, oh, dead talk. Yeah, dead talk's just as important as mom talk. No, it's not. No one is here to watch you. Losers, get out of here. And then they went on the Lisa Vanderpump thing, the Vanderpump Villa. And they're like, ooh, the dads. And the whole season was like, oh no, what did Dakota do at Lisa Vanderpump? I was like, I don't care. I don't care what Dakota did. I'm here for the men.

32:42Ben Mandelker: Jesus. Yeah, we're just not.

32:44Ronnie Karam: we're not that's not what we're here for um you guys those those ladies make their bad relationship decisions and i'm here for the divorce scenes where they're upset but i don't want to like watch the guys be like oh yeah dad talks huge no it's leave me alone yeah i um i just

33:04Ben Mandelker: i i can't now uh can we talk about todd tucker's uh trailer can we talk about yes as long as we're talking about losers i'm sorry if that is that audio play that was by accident um todd tucker for those we talked about it last week but todd tucker um he is making a documentary to uh showcase the journey of divorcing from candy burris and he released a trailer for it last week and it is so bad and so embarrassing oh you got it up i pulled up on youtube ronnie because i I felt like we might have some more control over it.

33:44Ronnie Karam: Yeah, you pull it up. Because I'm just, you can see it because it's on our screen, but it's not on the audience's screen. I can't play the audio through here. I'm not set up to do that. So if you can, I do it.

33:55Ben Mandelker: I'm going to do this. Okay, so let me share this screen. And this isn't only about Todd.

34:02Ronnie Karam: This is about a bunch of the ex-husbands from Atlanta. And so all these guys trying to make a play for their wives' money.

34:09Ben Mandelker: Yeah.

34:10Ronnie Karam: again okay is everyone ready and or fame i should say look i'm gonna press play

35:08Ronnie Karam: look at this image that tells you everything it looks extremely low quality and i'll say

35:14Ben Mandelker: todd has not held up well wait wait i think i can fix it how about this hold on let's see okay okay ready ready ready ready okay i'm gonna press play um as soon as i go back i got lost in update there we go

35:40and then

35:44Ben Mandelker: gosh that the way he just like faded out that audio mid trailer to where it was almost silent that was so professional like that was a great artistic touch look at how those buildings are

35:56Ronnie Karam: reflecting that's one thing todd is not going to be doing on this season absolutely divorce to us

36:02Ben Mandelker: part let's see who he's toasting with it he is toasting to guys i have no idea who these guys are okay i thought it would be someone however there is a little golden tiger on their bar so you know like that he's being he's really he's going through it he's thinking about things because he's at a place with a golden tiger okay let me go back to where the music faded out Okay, so now we're in Atlanta My brother, what's good, fam? You in the main house, Kyle Bro, man, I finally got back up to the top, bro It took a while I didn't make it back to the main house What's going on around here?

36:34Ronnie Karam: Did you quit working out? What's up with you, man?

36:36Ben Mandelker: I love looking good Your face is coming through your calves Come on, come on So, uh We're two for two with luminaries Ralph Pittman And, uh, and Apollo

36:51Ronnie Karam: is this all made from the footage that ralph gets off of his hidden ring cams in the house i mean this looks terrible is this shot on a samsung phone from 10 years ago what is this and this is

37:05Ben Mandelker: now this is um todd sitting with dennis and but like what is this camera angle what is this light where is the lighting this is literally like shot on an iphone with this weird like sort of high up like this, I guess, an establishing shot? Like, why don't you have this light on as an accent? Where's your... Why does he have like... Why is there like an iPhone charger on the side on the sofa here?

37:31Ronnie Karam: So the camera... When I see her, my heart steals.

37:36Ben Mandelker: Where's the microphone? We can't even hear Dennis.

37:39Ronnie Karam: Is he talking about seeing his eggs in the morning? I have to hear what Dennis said again. I seen my eggs in the morning. When I see her, my heart still skipps a beat. Oh, my ex.

37:51Ben Mandelker: He didn't say, I see my eggs. He said, I see my ex. I see my ex. It's just Dennis talking. I'm sure his heart does skip a beat when he sees his eggs. He's like, I saw my eggs. They're still there. But you know what?

38:03Ronnie Karam: I was actually interested in this show for a minute because I was like, oh, they're talking about eggs.

38:08Ben Mandelker: But by the way, thank you, Jess, in the comments. What is this music? Because it is, is this like an Italian?

38:13Ronnie Karam: when I see her. My heart still skips a beat.

38:19Ben Mandelker: It's like saucy Italian farce in a music.

38:25Ronnie Karam: Yeah, this is Real Housewives of New Jersey music. Like, look, Teresa's trying to figure out how to put a contact into her phone.

38:36Ben Mandelker: Great news, everyone. Ralph is fully stocked on yellow-colored water. Is that olive oil that's back there? I think it is because I think this is like vinegar. Don't worry. Ralph has the palest yellow olive oil you can imagine. For everyone who ever wonders who doesn't buy the extra virgin olive oil, who just gets the lightly virgin olive oil, it's Ralph. Lightly virgin. One time you need cabinets.

39:10Ben Mandelker: And I like that. Well, I do think it's kind of cool how he has this camouflage Keurig machine because it blends into the wall because everything is white. Except for, of course, the neon yellow olive oil in the background. I also blame you for my family also. Wait, wait. How do you blame me, Kyle? So you created this movie called The Past, right? You owe me another wife, my boy. Isn't it three assumptions? But by the way, there's also this clarinet music that's playing in the background, like Peter and the Wolf. Speaking of which, here's Peter Thomas. Peter and the cold brew. Peter and Nicole Brew.

39:45Ben Mandelker: Let's hear what he has to say. We did. Oh my God. We did. I would say most of our marriage we did. I'm a saint. You ain't no damn saint. Now that we're fucked, what's next? What's next? Yeah, I just wanted to see if I can get a bunch of the guys. You know, a bunch of us that got followings. You know, maybe a sports bar. Okay. Here's the thing. I have to say, can I tell you something? this is a totally different trailer than the one I saw and I just realized this one was posted 22 hours ago. This is a brand new trailer. And so Todd I guess the idea is that they're gonna, all these ex-husbands are gonna do a bar together, which definitely won't lose money and won't be mired in crime.

40:27Ronnie Karam: Who's gonna go to that bar? Nobody wants you. They want your wives.

40:35Ben Mandelker: Todd, his track record as a restaurant tour is unparalleled he's like oh yeah out of town yeah i mean like he is i think 10 out of town 10 of them all closing so like that's we saw a we saw a whole season of your show about your

40:51Ronnie Karam: restaurant the old lady gang nobody should ever give you another restaurant again sir and that was with candy's money how are you going to do this one well i mean probably with candy's money too he'll probably find a way to get back on that i like the concept why not what if we came together

41:07Ben Mandelker: and like open up a dope sports again i have to okay i have to know where are the microphones what is the lighting what's the framing and why is apollo what's going on with these necklaces

41:24Ronnie Karam: it's just not as yeah i'm not sure i hold on i'm trying to make it bigger so i can see what he's doing you know those pieces in your closet that you find yourself wearing on repeat the sweater that goes with everything, the perfect pair of pants, or the tee you somehow always reach for first.

43:05Ben Mandelker: 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.

Well, the old Navy should have been helping.

44:31Ronnie Karam: No. By the way, I'm in line.

44:33Ben Mandelker: I'm with it. Just like that? You get it? That property is prime, man. I think it's a great idea. By the way, Todd just sitting here in the chair like this. I have to say, I think it's a great idea. I tried to pause it with him sitting there. these guys all coming together to make a restaurant i can't even i'm not even i'm not even gonna

44:55Ronnie Karam: continue this but wow yeah that's enough of that that is long that's as long as the secret lives

45:02Ben Mandelker: of mormon wives season i know the other the other the other trailer was like the vibe of it was a bit more like i'm just like trying to explore like what's going on like i've been like she left me and i don't know what was divorce like for you but this one's more like we're getting the guys all together we're gonna have a divorce bar well something else that i think came out of that

45:22Ronnie Karam: todd was trying to make headlines for this thing he's trying to sell the show by saying oh this is what shamia was saying that she's going to quit her acting career over and he showed a clip of the movie that shamia did and it was with bolo the stripper she's i don't know if he's a trainer at a gym or something but she's like oh yeah i'll wake up and then she lifts herself up on the lift up bar and then he eats her out on the lift up bar and on atlanta she's like yeah and on atlanta she's like oh my god my husband doesn't support my acting career and todd was like yeah this is what she was talking about and so that got a lot of play and i was watching that and cracking up i love shimmy his version of it like oh he doesn't support my acting career what would

46:11Ben Mandelker: Meryl Streep do? I will have to see this clip. Bolo was on. He made it into a Tyler Perry show, right? I mean, are we surprised? I don't know.

46:23Ronnie Karam: I mean, he's made it around a lot of people's necks. Bolo! I don't know. Bolo. And by the way, I wasn't saying Meryl Streep wouldn't do that scene sexy-wise. I just mean with Bolo in this really shitty rundown movie, whatever it was.

46:41Ben Mandelker: I would literally love to see Meryl Streep and Bolo playing love interest. I think that would be fabulous. That would be hot.

46:53Ronnie Karam: Oh, gosh. Okay. What else is in here today? I'm just going to pick a random one. There's a lot of dumb ones. Oh, CT and Phaedra. We love this. We haven't done this in a while, so we haven't even talked about that, have we?

47:08Ben Mandelker: We haven't, we sort of like, we touched We touched on it a little bit, but we didn't really get into it Let's talk some more, what's the latest on these two These two lovebirds

47:16Ronnie Karam: Alright, so CT from the real world Road rules world And traders, obviously Came out as a Phaedra lover On the Emmys red carpet But wasn't the Emmys last night, so this must have been some Was it daytime Emmys? What Emmys was it?

47:37Ben Mandelker: There was The first two The Creative Arts Emmys were last weekend So

47:44Ronnie Karam: Okay well Here's an article because I'm sure everybody has heard This story already I feel like it Chris CT Temperello's ex shades him for publicly Promoting his relationship with Phaedra Parks and we get a picture of her And she's like boobalicious And She subtly shaded him She said I genuinely wish Chris as well in whatever relationship or career he chooses to pursue. I'm assuming this is how she talks. I'm not interested in commenting on whether his new relationship is real for publicity or anything in between. What I would like for him is to put the same energy into ending our marriage that he's putting into publicly promoting his relationship.

48:33Ben Mandelker: Yeah, no, he's moved on from you, sweetheart. it's over he's with Phaedra now whether it's real or not this is one of those times where I actually don't care if it's fake because I find the kookiness of it to be so entertaining someone on Twitter said pointed out the fact that CT and Apollo actually look very very similar and then once you see it you kind of can't unsee it and you're like oh wow

49:03Ronnie Karam: Oh, I didn't mean to just keep a still shot of her boobs up there. C.T. and Apollo. I was just randomly scrolling. Do they have C.T. in here? Okay, C.T. Here he is on our screen. So there's them as a couple. He looks different than he did on Traders. What is it? Why does he look so different? Okay, C.T. doesn't. He looks like Apollo? I just saw Apollo in that other clip. I think it's it.

49:28Ben Mandelker: Oh. There's. It's. There's. I'm trying to find a good side by side but someone pointed it out and it's kind of true like I can there is they do sort of look the same here's a picture that someone saved this image let me save this image as CT Apollo

49:49Ronnie Karam: I was going to say CT looks like he has really good Botox but I think it's because the picture is not moving

49:57Ben Mandelker: that will help that Botox really fills him up Hey guys, does my Botox look good? Oh, looks really good. Looks really good. Okay. CT Apollo. Here, I'm going to share this. This is great. For everyone who's listening at home and not just watching, I'm really hoping you're enjoying this content right now.

50:19Ronnie Karam: Yeah, put it up. Put up some Apollo. I'm putting it up. So anyway.

50:25Ben Mandelker: You can sort of see. It's not the best. Maybe eyebrows I see it Like and subscribe if you See this if you like If you see the similarities Like it if you don't leave a comment

50:45Ronnie Karam: I mean both the handsome men That's for sure Oh gosh So that's really exciting on that end And that's it So what do you think is going to Let's make some predictions on what's going to happen And just come up with a Bravo headline that will happen while you're in Norway. And we'll see if it happens by the next time you're here.

51:05Ben Mandelker: That's great. Jill Zarin removed from Cruise Line after she cusses out a waiter for not doing her Diet Coke right and then wondering why there aren't more white waiters. I think that will be the Jill Zarin controversy that will happen. I actually think that's good.

51:30Ronnie Karam: It almost sounds like it's already happened.

51:33Ben Mandelker: It sort of feels like it happened. Yeah. It feels like that's in our collective memory already. We hear a lot of talk about AI destroying us. And I feel like, did AI implant that in our brains already?

54:45Ben 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.

54:55Ronnie Karam: But the freezer aisle often makes it that way. Too many options, too many additives, too many compromises.

55:01Ben Mandelker: Do I like complicated chicken? No. No.

55:04Ronnie Karam: Chicken should be fun. Complicated chicken, not fun.

55:09Ben Mandelker: 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. Chicken, that's just chicken. When food is that simple, there's a quiet joy in it.

55:29Ronnie Karam: And we love quiet joy, like the moment Erika Jayne puts down her microphone. Keep your life simple with your new favorite chicken.
