This is part two of a Watch What Happens recap of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip S5 (Miami → New York → gangster lunch → Halloween/costume party). The hosts focus on how little “real” conflict happens at the lingerie party, with most attention going to performances and petty reactions. Key moments include Adriana performing “Fire” while Vicky criticizes the singing/dancing and the party moves quickly; Vicky’s belief that she’s being ignored and her need to be flattered; and a New York “gangster lunch” where Carol repeatedly controls food choices (no mozzarella) and gives a heartfelt speech about BravoCon/sisterhood.
Luann’s airport pat-down bit; Luann in bed with her boyfriend Michael; Dorinda’s “clip clip” gangster-lunch flashbacks; and the costume party where Portia/Borsha are late and Dorinda arrives in an over-the-top bubble dress.
Amy Phillips, host of the Drama, Darling podcast (also plugged as doing paddle ball in Santa Clarita).

0:00Ben Mandelker: Support for today's episode comes from Square, the system that fixes one of the biggest headaches in running a business. Starting a business is exciting. Running it is where things get complicated. You're juggling payments, inventory, staff, scheduling, online orders, reports, and somehow you're still supposed to serve customers. Square brings all of that into one place. Whether you're selling lattes, cutting hair, detailing cars, or running a design studio, Square helps you run your business without running yourself into the ground. I go every single Monday to Phil's Coffee to get a nice big coffee to power up the beginning of my week here on the podcast.
0:35Ben Mandelker: And guess who uses Square? Phil's Coffee! And it's just so easy. You go in, you scan, you pay, you move on with your life. I love it.

1:07Ben 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.
1:36Ronnie Karam: Yeah, Butterball Turkey is made for everyday moments that bring people together with ease, and it tastes great while doing it.
1:43Ben 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.
1:53Ronnie Karam: Butterball simplifies cooking so you can focus on who you're cooking for. Butterball has turkey made for the way you care,
2:00Ben Mandelker: whether you're cooking for your best friend or mending bridges with your frenemy. Butterball.
2:05Ronnie Karam: Care hard.
2:06Ben Mandelker: Cook easy.
2:29Ronnie Karam: Well, hello and welcome to Watch What Happens. This is part two of a two-part recap. If you're like, hey, wait a minute, I didn't hear part one. Guys, it's because we put out a lot of recaps. Go back and listen to part one, okay? It's before this one. Bye. Enjoy the show. So now we have another performance, which Vicky loves. And this time it's Adriana performing Fire. And she's wearing like a big parade hat that keeps kind of falling off. Man, I hate when Vicky's right because I think Vicky's horrible. But you just hear Miami's hot, hot, hot, hot. Vicky's like, why do these housewives think that they can sing?
3:12Ronnie Karam: I'm not in the mood for another performance.
3:20she's got a point oh my god no she was she was dead on she and she included not just singing but dancing you know which is that's a tough one too because it's like you think that if you can't sing i mean you can dance a little but she threw them under the bus with the dancing that's tough
3:39Ronnie Karam: yeah and the balancing something on top of her head as well she had that huge thing on there Oh So Vicky also doesn't know who anybody in this cast is No, she sure doesn't But she lightened, she definitely lightened up In this episode And in this, in Miami in general Well, they kissed her butt and told her she was a star or whatever So that's all she needed, you know That is, that's like, you want to make a plant grow, give it water You know, that's what you need to do with a housewife Who feels ignored Yeah, everybody hates me I don't know why I talk to anybody in Atlanta. It's just so weird.
4:15Ronnie Karam: It's just so weird. I just don't understand it. Oh, we do.
4:21I'm going up. Click, clop, click, clop, click, clop.
4:25Ronnie Karam: Nobody knows who I am here. What am I talking fucking about? Why would I dress like this? I can't believe the next episode she wasn't firing her gay who put her in that outfit. I know. I mean, but they had a great conversation. That was one of the things that I liked the most was the conversation she had with him when they were talking about the costume. Because you could tell they genuinely like each other and get along. I was like, well, let's just hear them talk. She seems really happy when she talks to him. Yeah, someone who's like beneath her, she can deal with. She just doesn't like it when somebody on her level are trying to take over.
5:00Ronnie Karam: This is my sharp. This is my sharp. Slot. Slot. Like with Carmella. Does she even live in that house? Oh, slut. I couldn't understand what you said. Yeah. Like, wow. Yeah. Oh, wow. So someone from Playboy is going to be here. Wow. That's great. That's going to do great for the show. Slut. Why don't you work here? Get a job. There's no towels. Do you even live in that house? There's no towels. Who lives in the house for three years and doesn't have a towel? What's in the pantry? What's in the pantry? Slut! Look at my pantry. I've got everything. Rescue the treats. I've got every kind of cereal you can imagine.
5:35I've got fiber one bars. I've got Dulcolax I've got Dulcolax I've got Dulcolax I've got Violenta I've got Pepsi You David I've got it It's my pantry
5:44Ronnie Karam: What's in your pantry That is how somebody Left it out My left it out So then Let's see We get that performance And Everyone has fun Not much happens At this party But That's a good thing For them It was such a fast party I mean like Wasn't it crazy How it was like All of a sudden It was like Like Adriana came out and then Vicky's like, they shouldn't sing. And then it was like, bye, Miami. It was so crazy. Fast. Turn around. Yeah, I think when housewives are happy, it doesn't lead to very good content, you know, which is why you need a Vicky type to just make everybody miserable. Yeah. Look at that.
6:27Ronnie Karam: It's really working for Orange County. It's a great season of that show this year. So now everyone.
6:45Ronnie Karam: That's my waiting music, Star Wars.
6:51Those are the birds of Orange County. Get off my goddamn strip birds! Well, at least something happened. She got mad at the birds. The birds are in a feud.
7:02Ronnie Karam: Respect my authority, birds. I made homemade pizza. You can stay, birds. Don't leave. Don't leave. Don't leave. I spent all this money to get homemade pizza made at my house. We're going to make homemade pizza, and they are treating me with disrespect. Mike? Mike's here. Mike's like, oh, goddamn homemade pizza. Cue the horror music. They kind of did. They're like, Mike is coming home. All you see is Mike coming home and walk to the bedroom, and they're like, oh.

8:16Ronnie Karam: marathon
8:21she yawns out words to type wait you know how happy Vicky was to find out that they were, that Giselle and Portia were annoyed with Luann. That was like watching Vicky open a gift. I think she had a better, more happy reaction finding that out than if Mike were to have gotten on his knees and proposed. That's how happy she was. What? You think you're annoyed with somebody else and that'd be? Oh my God. Oh my God. Tell me everything.
8:52Ronnie Karam: Well, finally, people are listening to me. Finally, listen to me. Told you I know what I'm talking about.
9:03Ronnie Karam: yeah I think that's the best way to make friends talking shit about people you know when you don't like somebody in common that'll bring you closer together than liking someone because if you both like someone you're like oh my god Amy isn't she a sweetheart yeah I think she's so sweet too you know she had heard of paddle ball but what a sweet Padell Padell ball yeah she lives in Santa Clarita that's so nice hope to get up there but if you were to be like to santa clarita this bitch moved to santa clarita fucking crazy yeah like fucking amy what's wrong with amy god am i right that's how you make friends that's how you get there you know lisa well i live in the valley now you know so i get a lot of shit too you're just further wait you live in the valley yeah i'm in studio city well right now i'm in texas but oh okay okay okay i didn't realize okay got it all right thank you that was the update i was like wait what now okay because you you go you have two houses you go between you go back and forth okay but i thought you spent a majority of time okay where do you spend the majority mostly there i mean mostly here oh oh i thought it was the reverse no mostly here in texas yeah Taxes.

16:39Ronnie Karam: Dorinda and I are really tight. We talk all the time. So today Dorinda's hosting our gangster lunch. Flashback to gangster lunch. Am I right? Clip. Clip. That was hilarious. Clip. I'm going to have a new song called Clip Clip. Dorinda would sue her immediately. No, you're not. Because Dorinda is one of the housewives that gets all of her stuff copyrighted the second she says it. Yeah, and I'm sure that the Giovanni thing, she didn't, which is why she was so pissed. And, you know, we've been down that road. So Luann better not start with clip clip. She will. Let me ask Luann, you know. So then they're talking about Michael and how smitten Luann is.
17:21Ronnie Karam: And then we see everybody else getting ready for this day. And this is where Vicky and Giselle and Portia sit down like, wow, you know, now that we've got Vicky in a better mood, Luanne sucks, huh? She's like, funny, funny. I told her. I told her she sucks. Am I here? Does anybody listen to me? No, I'm not. I'm just Debbie Donner. I see. You just look right through me. You look right through, Jackie O. But what did me in was when Mary Soul was talking about her mother. Okay, but in all fairness, Mary Soul's been talking about her mother for a long time. You know, you can't just always cede the floor to Marisol.
17:58Ronnie Karam: Although I love me some Mama Elsa, you know. Of course. But we do get a lot because that's why I think, you know, Miami even really happened. I mean, I think Mama Elsa was the kingpin. Yeah. I kind of felt bad for Marisol when she was talking about her mom and she's like, yeah, you know, I mean, my mom wasn't even supposed to be part of the show. She came on one time, and she was dressed in this fabulous outfit. And she was just really, I guess, so fabulous to everybody. And then they were like, that's what we want for this show. And she was on the show, and everyone called me boring for the next 10 years of my life.
18:35So that was really, thanks, Mom. But you talk to her all the time, right? Well, right? Me needed to. Yeah. please marisol i'm classy woman that's so good i loved her i'm fabulous woman marisol it's time
18:58Ronnie Karam: for a commercial it's time for a crappin's commercial when i was younger oh my god the
19:05Ben Mandelker: credit card debt that i rang up you know i don't think i really appreciated how important it is to have a really clear financial picture but when you get older one of the great things that you learn is that it's really important to be on top of your spending and know what your money is and all that good stuff.

20:28Ben Mandelker: Light your candles, draw your pentagrams, and prepare for a supreme surprise. FX's American Horror Story 13 premieres September 24th on FX and Hulu.
21:02Ronnie Karam: Do not make me get in the car with Luann. Oh, God. Here comes Luann. Gangsters unite, everybody. She's like, get on the other side, Luann. She's like, oh, great. My best friend.
21:15I'll pick a side. I'll pick this side that you're not on because I have two sides. One is Luann and the other is Lou. It's my alter ego.
21:26Ronnie Karam: Now it's time to go to the gangster lunch. God, this was such a classic episode. Even walking in this place, I've just felt so nervous and hurt.
21:40Concern for the people that were in the restaurant that day.
21:44Ronnie Karam: Yeah. Like we said earlier, there's a big blockbuster cutout of Dorinda going, clip. I don't think it was Dorinda's face. It was Dorinda's haircut and making the clip motion. But I think it was the mom from Incredibles face. I wasn't sure who it was, but I appreciated the effort. You mean like, you mean, what's her name? Holly Hunter? Holly Hunter. Yeah, I was like Holly Hunter's face from The Incredibles. Oh, my God. She's like, hey, guys, clip, clip. I'm just going to. This is incredible to be back at this mob lunch and clip, clip, clip. Right. You know, clip, clip, guys. You know, why don't you worry about your vagina?
22:28Ronnie Karam: It'll suck the hole in tunnels. Why don't you worry about that? Holland Tunnel for Downers. Easy pass. Easy pass. Yeah, easy pass. Turnstile, right? Turnstiles are incredible. It's incredible, right? Yeah. The piano. I didn't talk in that, so. That's a real throwback. For the young ones, that was a movie that Holly Hunter got an Academy Award for, I believe, and she did not speak. Yeah. And Anna Paquin. Oh, yeah. Didn't Anna Paquin win an Oscar for that? Somebody did. I don't even know if it was Holly Hunter. I think we were up against some guy who played a piano with his left foot only. So that was a rough year.
23:04Ronnie Karam: That was a rough year.
23:10What was the movie that she was in? Raising Arizona. Raising Arizona. That was her breakout movie. Yeah.
23:17Ronnie Karam: Yeah, that was a classic. There's a baby in the street. Well, I guess Moonstark was first for him. But it was one of his big starring roles. Okay, so Carol comes in and we see some of her greatest hits. Look, it's me, a girl, a girl in a city, a girl in a city with boys. Uh-oh.
23:40Is that the safari outfit? You back at the safari?
23:47Yeah.
23:50Ronnie Karam: So she comes up to the waiter like, what? You know, because they're in the Bronx or whatever. um i'm the first one here so can i get a little something to munch on uh what do you want some calamari well i mean what oh no i can't have calamari like to have perschetta we don't like that do you want mozzarella cheese i'll just put some mozzarella cheese i can't have mozzarella okay how about a slice of pizza you know that has mozzarella on it right right that is i was on team waiter oh my god i oh but also it's an italian restaurant they don't have bruschetta that's true well it's the bronx you know you get what you get i don't know is that really what it is you get what you got that's hilarious nah we don't have that so is it like more maybe it is more of a pizza place maybe it's just a pizza place and i didn't realize that yeah okay yeah well then that makes sense i mean your options are pizza or calamari so far but i like that he didn't even go down any kind of list.
24:52Ronnie Karam: He was just like, milk calamari? What do you want? Fucking mozzarella? Fine. Fuck. Would you want to eat a busboy's hand? Okay, I'll put that on a plate for you. Is there nothing else on the menu? What the hell? Pepperoni? Do you want some pepperoni? A pepper? We've got some dried sausage hanging. It's just decor, but you want to gnaw on that? Luanne comes swinging in on a dried sausage. Yeah, girls! I'd sip lining in. I'd try sausage.
25:28That's good stuff.
25:29Ronnie Karam: All right. So Luanne is in the car showing everybody Dorinda's gangster lunch clips because, you know, Kyle doesn't watch anything. I feel like if you're on these shows, you should have to watch the other shows. That's just fair. You do? Mm-hmm. Don't you think so? Well, I at least think if you're going to be on an ultimate girls trip and you've been on the show for this long, you should be dipping into early seasons of what was out there, especially New York. Like, are we saying that Kyle has not watched New York? I mean, that's insane. That's insane. That's required. Yeah, maybe she's watched it.
26:05Ronnie Karam: She doesn't say she doesn't. But Kyle to everything is like, oh, my God, is that girl from that from that show? Oh, yeah. OK, that's who that girl is. Who's that girl? Is she from that show? I've just been around so long, it's hard to remember everybody's name. I can only recognize dogs. Like Storm and Bambi and Bambi and Storm and like Boo-Boo and Shoo-Shoo and Boo and Storm. Oh, so many dogs that will never be jiggy. Oh. So they're watching the clip and Kyle's like, oh my God, Dorinda, you are hysterical in this clip. You are hysterical.
26:45welcome to the party it's good to be here thank you for having me
26:50Ronnie Karam: yeah you know this was during the season that sonya was spreading this rumor that i stole a brand tipsy girl wasn't that bethany who was mad that sonya stole the brand tipsy girl yes and i'm i'm glad you mentioned that because i was really confused yeah i just remember bethany being like listen here luann i'm having a meeting right in front of all of my assistants, what's the matter? What's happening? What's going on? They're watching this, alright? Listen here, you dumb slut. You have nothing. You have nothing except from what you steal from me. Tipsy girl, skinny girl, you fucking kidding me?
27:22Ronnie Karam: You dumb stupid slut. I hope you die. And she's like, oh, I don't have any here. No. Oh, that was horrible. Sonia, I was like, I thought that... And then she just goes in the elevator and goes down one floor. You know, it was sad. It was so sad. Well, I just thought, you know, I'm on such hard times and you have an alcohol. Maybe I can have an alcohol. Get it out of your mind. You'll never have an alcohol.
27:49But she, like Sonia not being there is so rough because, you know, I know that Luann and somebody else. Oh, yeah. Dorinda were like, oh, she, you know, we don't really keep in touch. But and she's not a good friend. She's like Luann's like, I try to get her to, you know, answer me. And she goes off into her own world and she says she doesn't show up unless it's like five grand. And I'm like, you mean to tell me they weren't even going to pay her five grand to show up for this? That's what I thought, too.
28:22Ronnie Karam: Yeah, of course, they should be paying her five grand to show up. What are they just like travel all the way to the Bronx from, you know, whatever ass crack in Florida you're living, you know, just to eat a piece of pizza that probably doesn't have mozzarella on it because Carol outlawed it. I know. I'm sad about it. And I think Sonia should hold out for money because people would be taking advantage of her left and right, you know, and I'm sure she has been taking advantage of many times in her life. So for her to kind of put some boundaries up, I mean, I would have loved to have seen her. Would have loved to have seen her.
28:59Ronnie Karam: Yeah, me too. Well, luckily, Carol got to see Luann, her favorite. Oh, hello, Luann. Hi, hi. You like my T-shirt? Look, it's my mugshot. It's the bestseller of my cabaret. I don't know if you've heard about it. Of course you have. Stupid. Hi, Luann. I went to jail once. Okay, Luann. Yeah, it's pretty good. I'm good. Money can't buy you class. Who doesn't eat mozzarella? Am I right? What a loser. Oh, I'm going to have my sauce pizza here. Okay. My sauce pizza. All right. I wrote something. Sipping some tomato sauce out of a cup. I'm sorry. What did you write? me right me
29:48Ronnie Karam: oh so uh tremendous like oh my god I can't believe we're back at this scene of the crying there's a picture of me over there there's a statue of me over there there's a thing at this table of me it says you know we don't you want mozzarella instead you dumb bitch wow that looks very new did they just chisel this Oh, there's a guy over there doing caricatures. There's a caricature of me. There's a caricature of Lou. There's a caricature of pizza without any cheese. This is so great. It's like a museum in here. Yeah, you know, here's what happened to the gangsta lunch. You know, some people start drinking at the gangsta lunch.
30:27Ronnie Karam: I start drinking at gangsta breakfast, which is what I call breakfast. I regretted it kind of the next day, maybe a little bit. You just got to finish what you start. Now we're starting last night. So you're finished. I started the morning after. So you did. We can't stop me. You know?
30:47Ronnie Karam: So then Carol gives a speech, which I wasn't expecting it from Carol. I don't know why, but she gave a speech. Wasn't it a well, I loved it. So I'm not knocking it by any means, but I'm just saying, wasn't it kind of like a re-speech? because that was something she wrote when she went to BravoCon, right? And she just kept it to herself. I loved that. I mean, I loved that so many of the housewives were so moved. I could not believe how vulnerable Teresa got. Oh, yeah, Teresa. Well, anything that'll kind of bring up housewives as a trauma experience, Teresa's in on. Just thinking, you guys, this is me now.
31:31Ronnie Karam: This is hot. I've been on TV so long and it sucks. And people are like, are you having fun? And I'm like, no, it's not. It really put things into perspective. I'm like, she really hasn't have fun. Like, if you think about so many other cities and people, you're like, oh, yeah, they're having fun. Teresa has never had fun. Yeah. But also she's not, like, created a lot of fun for other people on the show. No, I agree. I agree. It's kind of a lot. Teresa has suffered, you know, the disease of consequences for 18 years. And it's been sad, but it's been sadlarious. Oh, absolutely. I mean, it's been fun for me.
32:12I'm also like, wow, if it's never been fun, it's crazy that she keeps going back. But like, I guess she's always been in a situation where she's needed the money, I guess.
32:23Ronnie Karam: Oh, yeah. I don't. That's why I think nobody really quits, because you end up making so much money, and then all the deals that you get, like, Hi, it's me, Teresa, and today I'm here to tell you about my favorite calculator that it is. It's a calculator, Teresa. My favorite calculator. There's letters on it. You hit the letters, and then it makes more letters. Those are numbers, Teresa. What am I? Hi, my name is Teresa, and I'm here to tell you about instant pots. Instant pot. It puts it in, the food's in the instances, and then it puts all your ingredients in the instances, and it cooks it. It's instant.
33:12How instant? I snap my fingers and it's done? Well, I mean, like, probably 20 minutes to 30 minutes, but, like, as opposed to, like, three hours. that's that's not that fast i thought this was instances that's not fast i could do it in like
33:27Ronnie Karam: 20 minutes is is oh theresa my favorite clip they've shown on this whole season was her talking to the cookbook publishers and it's like yeah because like i want to make cookbook because like it's like hard to cook stuff so like i want to make it like easy you know like we could put the ingredients is they're like oh you know like common oh i forgot how good that scene was until i saw it on here again so good because like like people don't even know you know like what it's what's out there and like these weird ingredients is like tag on like what is it you know Kiantra
34:13Ronnie Karam: Kiantra That's the only spice it sings Alright Give us your speech Carol Carol's like yeah Fly me to the moon Alright girls I fucked that guy
34:30Ronnie Karam: What should I lie Frank cilantro I eat him up with my avocados
34:40All right.
34:41Ronnie Karam: Well, I just wanted to tell you, you know, I went to BravoCon and that was my first experience back in eight years. And when I got back, I wrote something about my experience. So here's a few sentences I wrote in my live journal Tumblr.
35:02Ronnie Karam: a strange undeniable sisterhood among us a group of women is here that shares sisterhood that's like sisters in a hood a neighborhood the sisters live in everyone's like oh my god that is so beautiful i'm crying i'm crying oh my god are you kidding me right now i'm crying so hard are you kidding me right now are you kidding me right now. I'm crying so hard. I'm even crying. And it's not even about how I was at ASPAC. That one time that they fired me, and I should have been the longest-running OG housewife, but I'm not! That's the Gipatri. I'm sorry, waiter. Come here. Come here. Come here, waiter.
35:43Ronnie Karam: Can I get a sign of respect? Can I get some respect? No. You fucking can't, all right? No. You want respect? No, you want some mozzarella? hello i can give you that
35:59Ronnie Karam: so everybody's crying but that was so beautiful you guys and um everyone agrees that they've really given a lot to the world which listen they have they're like so this is believe that she wrote something like why did she how did she even do that like i can't i'm so surprised she wrote because like is she what is she like a writer or something i mean like i mean i don't understand like what is she writer girl i don't get it shut up writer girl
36:28Ben Mandelker: commercials here comes one right now
36:33Ronnie Karam: 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. They found 37 % more weight is lost with Noom than just taking a GLP-1 on its own, and you can sustain it too. Noom helps you make progress that you can keep.

Higher app engagement was associated with greater weight loss at 16 weeks. Summer has wound down. Fall is approaching. We're about to go on tour. I'm trying to, you know, get my health together after a very fun summer. And so one thing I'm looking for are some good low net carb options. And Hero Bread has really proven to be a great resource for that.
38:04Ronnie Karam: Oh, their taste and their texture. It's so soft and chewy. It's not what I expected the first time that I had it. And I've been eating it ever since. I've been eating it for years now.

39:07Ronnie Karam: Carol coming back all these years later because of the popularity of Ryan Murphy and the Epstein's list. You just never know what things you can turn into a win. I'll tell you who knew. And also it is wild to have her back on New York. and have her, she's gonna, she's speaking about the book, you know, bestseller after so many years. And I was interested to see how she gave kudos to Love Story, considering that she didn't want to have anything to do with it, which is understandable. But like, I mean, did she not, I don't know, would she have even put that together? Did she have a windfall by her book doing so well?
39:51Because if she would have, I would have think, I would think that maybe she would like be involved on some level because I thought she said no, allegedly like to not help with that. I don't know.
40:03Ronnie Karam: Well, I don't think they I mean, I doubt they asked. I doubt they asked her. I didn't read any. I didn't read the article that you read, but I just assumed they left her out of it because she's more important in that cycle than in her mind than she is. Actually, you know, but I don't know. No, you're right. She actually works. No, you're right. I don't think Ryan Murphy was like, you know what? Call that lady from Real Housewives of New York and ask her permission to, you know, write a totally fictional version of her ex-husband's life and periphery. Right. I don't know. She was involved in a documentary.
40:38They sure didn't ask Daryl Hannah. That's, oh, wow. You're right.
40:42Ronnie Karam: But she was involved in a documentary what now? That's what it was. I'm confusing the two. So Carol helped, I think it was another network, CNN or something, do a documentary. on JFK Jr. And she helped, I think, consult on that. And sometimes I get the two mixed up. Oh, yeah. I think it was kind of a diss that she was left out of Love Story. And that's what they're all, that's what she's getting mad about on New York. And I find it so funny because Jessel's like, well, everyone wants to know, was she a bitch? Was Carolyn Bessette a bitch? And they're like, why you can't say that? Okay, dour. Would she say, not dour, but like.
41:22aloof aloof right yes yes aloof and jessel got in all this trouble but i think she was talking
41:28Ronnie Karam: about the character how they wrote her on this tv show but carol's like i haven't watched that tv show that is an affront to my best friendship with that lady who i'm currently profiting off of still and i don't get i'm trying to do your impression but i can't do it i love it And I don't get that streaming service because it doesn't, I don't get it in my car. Doesn't come to my car. I don't get it in my car. There's nowhere to plug into AOL in my car. I think she still thinks she's in that. Like, he's playing me. She's like, is it Steven Tyler? Ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. So the ladies in this scene go, you know, they're all crying and talking about all the stuff they've done on the show.
42:19Ronnie Karam: Like they've had their kids on the show. They've, you know, done all this. And Portia's like, well, Polaro was born on a spinoff. And they start laughing. And then they cheers to sisterhood. And now it's time to go get ready for a Halloween party. I thought that this was going to be the end. Me too. Of the thing. I couldn't believe that. How many episodes did they have? We were in Miami and then New York for like several parties. Well, okay. I'm thinking that next week might be the finale. Because if they're wrapping up in New York, they're going to go to the Berkshires next. And that's the end, right?
42:52Ronnie Karam: Yeah, but don't they usually say next week on the season finale of, you know, hermity turbity derm derm. No, I think you're right. They'll probably have two episodes in the Berkshires. That would make more sense. And since they didn't say it this week, as you know. Yeah, I hope so Because that's going to be good You're getting crumbs You're getting crumbs out of the bed You get the disrespect You spilled a drink You caused a flood You gotta leave I'm not your bud, okay? Get out Perfect, write it down Put that to a drumbeat This will be a bestseller at my show okay so now they're making jokes about luann because her assistant roger is dressed like lou with handcuffs or something it's like oh by the end of the night you're gonna slip out those handcuffs i've got a feeling you should turn around and tell the cop i'm gonna kill you one of my greatest moments it was hilarious oh is this not the most delusional thing i am like Like, I am never not shocked at the things that she says and celebrating this arrest.
44:06And it is wild. Wild.
44:10Ronnie Karam: Well, it made her over the top famous, that arrest. And she appreciates it. It's not like Teresa, who's just finally getting herself to, I think she said jail for the first time or prison last season. When Luanne's like, oh, it's me. I was in prison. I've been to therapy. I've been to prison. I got a yacht. I mean, it's just a lot. A lot of fabulous things have happened to me. And Teresa's like, oh, okay. So that's how you say it? Yeah, as in prison too. Something like that. As in prison. She did it, everybody. Camps. So they're going to this costume party and Portia's late. Portia's running late, which, well, I guess it's okay as long as it's not on the way to an airport.
44:57There you go. Lisa's gonna have her moment
45:01Ronnie Karam: yeah so they go we see Jill Jill's there am I complaining about an ice cream cone lately well if you haven't seen it it'll be on TikTok I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm here I'm sorry I'm not I'm sorry you're sorry I'm not sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry we see Jill We see Alex, who's still like, Kelly.
45:36Ronnie Karam: Kelly is still Looney Tunes. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Yeah. I don't even remember what she said to whom, but yeah. Not much that wasn't crazy. And then we see Jessel and Cy coming up. And I just I feel bad for them because they're just they don't fit in. You know, Cy's like, yeah, we are. I'm a fucking New York boy. I can't wait to go in there. It's going to be so fucking exciting. Who is this positive person? Who is this? I know. Cy dressed up as Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman was great. She really, she looked like her. For a second, I was like, oh my God, like, is that Julia Roberts? I mean, I didn't think it actually was.
46:16But she really sold it. And it made me think like, oh, she's been dying to like dress up as this character for something all these years. And now she has her chance. The ultimate girls. Yeah.
46:28Ronnie Karam: Vivian. So Chanel comes Chanel from Dubai. She's so fucking funny. She's so good. I can see why they have her on literally everything. They're like, you know what? We've got a red carpet for a cupcake shop that Bravo is tangentially tied to. I'll do it. And she just shows up. Like, who are you? Yeah, totally. She just makes it so good. I'm going to call her up to Santa Clarita when I open my Padel courts she's going to be great oh man she's so fantastic boy does she so entertaining Vic I love what you do Diane Sawyer Diane Sawyer always good
47:12Ronnie Karam: so she comes in in this like leopard cape and you know she's totally over the top as normally And she's like, I'm the prostitute from my village. And then Dorinda comes in and she is wearing her bubble dress that she wore at the famous Halloween party. Thank God Luann was not dressed how she was at that famous Halloween party. Because wasn't that her? That was the Diana Ross scandal. Yeah, that was. Yes. You know, I was wondering that I was predicting that somebody would bring that up and make it a thing. But they didn't. I was surprised that they didn't. I mean, I thought that Brooks Marks was kind of hinting at it with his spray tan this week on Next Gen NYC reunion.
47:58Ronnie Karam: But, yeah, otherwise I haven't seen anybody mention it. But Dorinda comes in and, of course, the younger ones are like, who are you supposed to be? And she's like, you know, Lady Gaga. When she was on SNL, this is made from the person Andy Sandbaker. I mean, it's Andy Sandbaker. Like, who? You know, Lady Gaga. LSM HQ
48:25HSN
48:29Ronnie Karam: They're like, no, I don't understand that But you're wearing a repeat outfit Oh no, no, no, no, no, no That's tacky And she's like, oh really? Well, it's called iconic It's called iconic Oh, she's barking up the wrong bubble I can tell you something I'm going to circle back to you, bitch I'm going to circle back. Alright? You see me when I'm going to walk around because I'm about to this party? But when I'm done, you're done. Oh yeah, and who does Jizzle think she is? Who the fuck is Jizzle? It's Jizzle. Okay, fuck her. And Chanel's like, Jigsaw puzzle. And Chanel's like, I see your face. Don't do it.
49:10Ronnie Karam: Because you see Dorinda starting to turn. She's like, don't do it. Be nice. so good uh so then let's see there so i was like jess all you shouldn't have been like that and chanel comes up and she's like oh ramona was not happy with you she was wearing a bubble dress that's not that is not ramona ramona is not here i don't know who it was pretty woman you are being a bitch you are being a bitch to ramona and she's not that be with you they're like oh god it's not ramona so then an emcee comes out and um it's not a song thank god because this is the luann party i think we were all waiting for a song but um instead she's like well i want to give a speech but we have to do with all the housewives here where's portia where's Borsha.

54:06Ronnie Karam: Especially chicken. But the freezer aisle often makes it that way. Too many options, too many additives, too many compromises.
