The recap claims Vicki’s Vegas apology was “disingenuous,” and that Vicki repeatedly shames/insults others (including Carmella and Danny). Tamra’s scenes frame Ryan as abusive/volatile, referencing his past domestic-violence arrest and transphobic behavior.

0:00I'm Jake Stouck, co-founder and CEO of Serval. We built Serval to automate the IT work that slows companies down. Onboarding, password resets, access to applications, my laptop stopped working. While employees wait for help, their real work is put on hold. IT desperately wants to automate this work, and that's why they need Serval. You just tell Serval what you want to automate in plain English, and it's built. No drag-and-drop workflows, no expensive consultants. Employees get unblocked and IT teams go from drowning in tickets to building what actually matters. With Serval, IT becomes the AI engine powering the entire company.

But it's so warm and feels like a nice hug. So let's do this together, guys. Welcome to Real Housewives of Orange County, Season 2, Episode 12. Lay it on me! But it's spelled L-E-I, like a lay. You know, like you'd get in Hawaii, not lay on me! I don't mean it like that.
4:34I'm not a loose woman!
4:37Ronnie Karam: So we open up with Heather. She, I don't know if you've heard, but she's got a new penthouse! It's under our apartment! So she is talking about it a lot. and now we get to see her designing it and she goes into this huge warehouse where like on the ground they're projecting the floor plan of the apartment so she can actually walk through the floor plan of the apartment it's huge she's there with her son ace who for some reason she keeps calling drake which i think is unfair personally you know let the man live his own life oh drake you're gonna love your new bedroom. It's got a drum set, a saxophone area, a microphone, so you can sing your little ditties.
5:23Ronnie Karam: My name is Ace. We're so proud of you, Drake. Oh, America, I know that you don't understand this. A projected thing on the floor, a celebrity is a son. Let's walk through my new mansion in the sky. I love putting ridiculous things in my homes. There's a large metal container that holds cool things. It's called a refrigerator. Apparently, it's where you keep all the nutrients, like pickles. I love pickles! You see, when you have children, they need things like food and water. And as a mother, it's very important that you provide Alfredos to bring them food and water. And now we've landed on not one, not two, but 18 apartments that we're combining into one.
6:20Ronnie Karam: Wheels are spinning. What crazy things can I put in this apartment? A couch? A vestibule? A pool? Table? How about a pool table that you can swim in like a pool? But wait, who wants to swim in a table? How about a table pool? Or how about a pool pool table where you can go into the pool while you're playing pool? Of course, the balls would sink. I don't know how you'd hit them under the water. Oh, physics. Don't worry. I'm rich enough. Terry, get out the checkbook. We're changing physics. We are going to have a cool home like cool parents. What kid wouldn't want to hang out with their parents in a cool crib?
7:08Ronnie Karam: Look at little Drake already filming himself in a music video. I'm on TikTok, mother. My name's not Drake. You are on TikTok. That's a huge channel. Congratulations. I'm going to tell you the same thing I told good friend Betty White backstage in the green room. Congratulations on your success, but you will never overshadow me. Now we go over to Jen, who is on the phone with her son, Harrison. and Harrison is in Singapore and he is working on what he calls real humanoid robots. Harrison, hi, Harrison. I've been to you so much. What are you doing over there? What are you doing right now for your country?
7:53Ronnie Karam: Making humanoid robots, mom. They're like robots and also humans, like human robots. Oh, that's so crazy. I wouldn't even know anything about that. Hello, Harrison, my son. What are you doing for your country today? Mom, you already said that. Hello, Harrison. It's your mother. What are you doing for your country today? Mom, you okay? Please, press 1 for Spanish, 2 for English. We're no longer giving the 0 option for operator, so now you're just going to have to figure it out. Thank you. Thank you so much for calling. Mom? You know, I was driving around this morning getting some milk. Busy morning.
8:30Ronnie Karam: It was really busy. and I was thinking to myself just like all of you probably think to yourself all day every day what's Emily doing? let's see she's at home with Annabelle in her room and Annabelle's just eating looking at her mom like what? hey Annabelle it's me it's your mom last week I put socks in the laundry wow that's great mom yeah your dad says I don't do anything but I do everything around here. Who would even have clean socks if it weren't for me? Actually, my socks are dirty. They weren't your socks, okay, but they were socks. Maybe you should ask somebody else with clean socks to borrow their socks.
9:11Ronnie Karam: What could I? I can't do everything. Get out of my room, mother. I'm really close with Annabelle right now. Luckily, we weren't close for a while because, God, Luke was taking all my time. Stupid Luke. But I've done everything in my power to spend more weight on one time with Annabelle. She loves it. Mom, get out of my room. No, she loves me being here. Please get out. Do you have any socks? I can have your dad wash them. Get out! She threw a quesadilla at my head.
9:45Ronnie Karam: That's motherhood. Jane, Annabelle threw a quesadilla on my face. Now it's on the ground. You should probably pick it up before it leaves a grease stain. I do everything around here.
10:02Ronnie Karam: There are some, there's an elderly couple at my door right now. What do you think they want? Can you see them? What do you want?
10:13Ronnie Karam: I don't want to go down there and talk to them. They want something. They're up to no good, these two. Look at them. Look, she's knocking. She's like, I saw him driving home. I saw him come in this door, and I'm going to knock on this door until he comes. Well, I'm not coming. What do you think of that? You can't make me. Hello there. Have you heard of Jesus Christ? Yes, I've heard of him. He's hot. By the way, love this guy's sweater. He's very fashionable. I think he's got a man purse. He's got a murse. He's actually very cute. Hello, I just saw you walking in. You were getting your mail. You look pretty handsome.

Carmela's hanging out in the kitchen with her kids. You know, I don't think Carmela's a bad mom because, like, her kids want to be like her. Like, they all have her really long straight hair parted in the middle. And I think that, like, if you don't like your mom, you try and not be like your mom. But they're all like, hello, mother.

14:37Ronnie Karam: She's not taking one single moment to get to know me. Okay, Carmella, listen. I'm on your side because Vicky is a jerk and she's judgmental. And she's a slut shamer and a mom shamer and a shame shamer. So she's shame shame. Like she just shames everything. Vicky's an ass. Okay, we got that. But you can't say somebody's not trying to get to know you. I mean, she's been Googling you. She went into your pantry to see what was in there. do we do that with people we're not trying to get to know i mean that's the best way to get to know somebody you snoop through their shit so you're accurate that vicky's an asshole but you're not accurate that she's not trying to get to know you you know you can't properly slander somebody until you get to know them hugs oh she pretends that she doesn't even know my name remember the time she called me carnella i mean what is that about you talk about me in every single room i'm in You know me, bitch.

16:53We've got a lot of kids. And you can just imagine us going under a freeway underpass and being like, oh my god, hi Shannon. She's the one that threw us our engagement party. Hi. Should have saved your money. Stupid. Well, it's not like it's gonna break the bank. I don't think. I'm only spending$97 ,000 on this. That's nothing. I don't think. how much is$97 ,000? How much is going to have to go a day without a Starbucks or something? I'm very good at financial planning. Vicky's teaching me. Besides, I have all these decorations anyway. They're a little bit sick of being brought out once every Thursday night with just me.
17:41Archie and Troy come out and say, Well, happy luau! Troy, happy luau! And Troy eats one of my purses. and scream, why'd you do this? I cry. I drink some wine and vodka. Wake up the next day and think, this place is a mess. Was there a luau here? What happened? Yeah, but Shannon, you're going to throw a couples event for a couple, but you're not even in a couple. That's so sad. I just want to make sure that my engagement body, people aren't sad because you're like so poor and alone.
18:22I'm not in a couple, but I have a very nice man that I'm going to be hanging out with. He's my friend, Doug. There is nothing physical going on. There's none of this or no finger in the hole or finger on the finger or finger around the finger. There's no like, there's no, none of that. It's just occasionally, maybe, sometimes. It's a handshake. He's a handshake type of a friend. Oh, oh. Although, one time we did shake a hand, and my hand was tingling after. I thought, oh, God. I put my hand up to my eyes because I couldn't believe what I was feeling. And then my eyes started to burn. And I started crying.
19:04I said, ah! And he said, sorry, I was just cutting a jalapeno. Maybe I shouldn't have shaken your hand. And I said, oh, dog, dog, I can't see. I woke up in a hospital. It was just me and the beep, beep, beep sound. I texted Doug and I said, okay, I hope to see you again. Handsome, handsome friend, handsome friend. P.S. Not to be judgmental, but maybe wash your hands next time. It's torrid. It's a torrid friendship.
19:42This is so sad. Oh, by the way, Shannon, I know that you're, like, having to sell all your stuff because you're, like, poor now. But look, I got a real ring. It's a real ring. And it's actually special because it looks fake, but it's, like, actually real. I mean, how many girls are lucky enough to say that they've got two hideously ugly rings from the same man? Woo, what a blinding ring. Are you sure there are not BPAs in that thing? It can be very dangerous going in the sun wearing something that plastic on your ring, you know. The sun leashes out the BPAs. They get in your blood system. Bullcut!

22:44yeah like i understand why people are offended by it because it's rude Carmella's not very happy about it Yeah, she's best And you know what? I told her Oh, you know what? Vicky doesn't think that you live in your house And she sent a text message to Danny And then Danny showed us the pantry And the pantry has food in it So like, Vicky was just being wrong Oh gosh, Vicky said show me the pantry She insisted on seeing the pantry What kind of food was in the pantry? What? Crackers? Peanut butter? What kind of bread was there? Talk dirty to me, Gina. Talk dirty to me. Shannon, whoa, back down. We're talking about Vicky right now.
23:25Oh, well, Vicky, yeah. She did say that Danny is raising her children. What? What a horrible thing to say. He's only raising those children Monday through Friday. That is crazy. Yeah, well, I, I, I, I, I, I, I think all she meant by it is that she's a terrible mother and she's not there for her children. Why would we be mad at that? She said again that Carmella's a shit parent Okay, that's like You say it once and maybe that's an accident But like you say it 20 times I think that means something You know what, Sheenan? It's your turn to get in there and say something to Vicky I don't want to kick Vicky while she's down That's not fair Oh yeah?
24:06Well, I'm going to tell Carmella I'm telling her No, please don't tell Carmella The things that I just told you in confidence I'm telling Carmella Like she deserves to know. I'm getting you in trouble at your own couple's body that you're single at.
24:22Ronnie Karam: Let's go see what Tamara's doing. It's a family day. Tamara's there with her mom, Sandy, and Sophia, the daughter. And they're making a cake because Tamara's granddaughter, Ava, is turning 11. Ava's my granddaughter. She's that granddaughter quickly. She's so big now. I remember when she was really little, and I would go, Ooh, you're so little. And now she's like bigger, and I go, Ooh, you're so big. She's kind of a mini-me, but she has a natural belly button. Little bitch. She's sassy. She might even flip you off maybe one time. I can't believe that a daughter of Brian's is already flipping people off at age 11.
25:05It's so funny.
25:09Ronnie Karam: Sophia is there with her boyfriend Nico who seems like a very sweet young man and she's like yeah Nico's like my dream man because like he can meet my mom and like not run away screaming and like poking his eyes and ears out so I think he's pretty much a keeper and then Eddie is saying super sexist things to Nico outside you know just like super sexist things I guess dads maybe say to boyfriends like wow Nico it's like so good to have you here like it's like Sophia is a totally different person like she's an acceptable person with you around and it's great we're glad to have you you know she comes her hair she does womanly things now you know sometimes all a girl needs is the right man am I right and Sophia and Tamar talking about Ryan who you know for a long time watchers of this show you know that Ryan's kind of a piece of shit, right?
26:03Ronnie Karam: And he hasn't been on TV for a long time because he was transphobic. He was doing like a lot of manosphere stuff and like anti-trans posts and just being a little asshole piece of crap. And then he was, he got, I'm going to look this up before I say something stupid. Ryan Veith, the son of Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamara Judge, was arrested for suspected domestic violence in June 2015, following an altercation with his then-fiancée, Sarah Rodriguez, though he was never formally charged. In 2019, Rodriguez published screenshots of a volatile text exchange with Ryan regarding their young daughter, Ava.
26:44Ronnie Karam: The messages included hostile language and a photo of a bullet sent by Ryan, which led to a tense police-involved custody standoff at Rodriguez's home that was partially broadcast on social media. on June 28th 2015 Ryan was arrested in Rancho Santa Margarita after a dispute with Sarah Rodriguez Rodriguez called 911 claiming he had struck her and broken her finger so I just wanted to remind you guys because we're gonna get a whitewashing scene with Ryan coming up it's like oh Ryan's such a sweet guy maybe you did something bad one time no Ryan's a piece of shit and you need to get him the fuck off my tv this show is bad enough without having to deal with Ryan no so now we find out that this is going to be the first time that tamra has seen ryan in a long time well he came over for easter and that was the first time i saw him in the year and he came in he was like where's the fucking eggs i don't want to look for him just give them to me dumb bitch i said you better get out of my house you better not be mean to the easter bunny and he said thank you easter bunny and we got in the fight no one ever did find those eggs then one day i went out there i said ernie why does it stink out here and he said probably because there's rotten eggs all over the yard.
27:53Stupid.
27:57So, Ron also got Bill upset because I'm just not a very good grandmother. But I'm sorry, I'm famous, and I'm busy. I have things to do.
28:04Ronnie Karam: And Sophia's like, yeah, but, you know, he was used to, like, his grandma being there all the time because, you know, she kind of raised him. Yeah, well, I'm not that kind of grandmother, huh? So sorry. And Tamara's mom, Sandy, is also there. She's like, oh, my God. I was a pretty good grandmother. But Ryan thinks that that's just what grandmothers are supposed to do. Just stay home all day and take care of their kids. Listen, Ryan, okay? Don't be having kids that you don't want to take care of. I'm going to actually stand up for Tamara on this because I know people are calling the grandparents all the time like for free child care and shit like that.
28:42Ronnie Karam: And I'm sorry, but I've already raised you terribly. Why would I need to raise somebody else terribly? I've already done a terrible job. Okay, now it's your turn to do a terrible job. If you can't stand the heat, then stop having babies in the kitchen. That's what I say. He says, you're not the grandma I thought you were going to be. And I said, oh my God, I can't believe you called me a grandma. But it's going to be okay now because he's coming over finally. I'm giving his daughter an old, old purse and it's very fancy and she has like me now. And I'm going to do what I could never do with Ryan when he was young.
29:16I'm going to buy my grandchild's love.
29:20Ronnie Karam: so then we get to see really touching clips of ryan growing up on our screens when he got a full half-body tattoo that was really ugly and tamara's like that is so ugly why don't you get that tattoo and at least get some taste why would you purposely make your body look like the the peeling wallpaper of the motel six and then that really sweet scene of when ryan got a lip tattoo and flapped down his lip to show it off and it said nugget so ryan comes in with the family and it's crazy seeing ava so big she's so cute and um he's with sarah as well for some reason she's there and uh they come in and you can really really tell that ryan has changed i mean it's like he's like well i don't ring the doorbell i'll just fucking fart into the ring all right get it over here it's me mom open the fucking door idiot god it's your terrible grandma's house i was going here hey mom give me a beer yeah you don't have to be a stranger in your own house he's like oh yeah would a stranger do this popping off the beer with his teeth spitting it out yeah i'll be sophia's boyfriend pretty many or man to man sophia's like nico yeah my brother's arrived otherwise known as the ultimate test over whether or not you're gonna stay with me through thick and thin because this one's really a piece of shit He's like, wow, is he worse than your mom?
30:43Ronnie Karam: Yeah. You'll see. We come in. Ryan's playing like Star Spangled Banner in his armpits. He's like.
30:54Tamara's like, I just want a moment with Ava because it's your birthday. I want to be alone with Ava. Come on, Ava. We're having a very special scene.
31:04Ronnie Karam: She takes her into the hallway and she's like, look, this is a family picture. It's me. it's Sophia and it's my other daughter Sydney now Sydney famously just wants Tamara to stop talking about her on TV that's all everything we've known of Sydney is just like stop fucking talking about me she came out on Facebook a few years ago like my mother continues to talk about me this is why I will not have a relationship with her and she continues to bring me up on television I don't want to be talked about and so So Tamara is, of course, still respecting her wishes by making a whole scene about her. So she's like, that's her.
31:46She won't speak to me anymore. Oh, my God. But, you know. And Eva's like, why is her face blurred out? Well, it's because, you know, you don't talk to your mother, you get your face erased. That's what happens. Now she'll walk into a restaurant and be like, hi, bitch, faces for Sydney. And they'll be like, I'm sorry. We don't serve people with no faces. Be nice to your mother. Ava's like, oh, great. Well, happy 11th birthday to me. I guess I get to be a stand-in prop now for you to cry over and get victim points from. Okay, well, just go ahead. I'll just be waiting here. Do you have a gift for me?
32:23I do have a gift for you. Guess what? It's a purse. It's a Gucci. A Gucci purse. It's a fancy. If you ever see your answer, I want you to say, this purse could have been yours. No face. Ava's like, oh, wow. Wow, a Gucci purse. It's what every 11-year-old needs. I think, um, thanks?
32:46Ronnie Karam: I mean, Tamara, look, I know this is probably really painful for you with your kid not talking to you and stuff, but you're bringing her up again. You do this every single year. Keep her name out your mouth. What is wrong with you? Maybe if you had one season without saying this girl's name, maybe she'd be nicer or something. But you just can't help yourself. now you've got sydney not speaking to you and ryan i mean he's a real piece of shit anyway but ryan just barely speaking to you after not speaking to you you know at some point you just ever wonder is it me
33:17Ronnie Karam: wow ava grandma gave you a gift well isn't that nice would have been nicer if she gave you a free gift of her time but whatever i guess you can just enjoy that poochie purse whatever she thanks mom daddy why do you have a sister with no face and sarah the mom sees the purse and she's like oh wow tamra thanks for setting a standard that we can't afford to give her oh sarah you had a baby with ryan your standards are already so so low you can't expect everybody to meet you there okay even tamra so now we go to a bra store and vicky's hobbling in like uh money i need i need a bra for my knee does anybody have a bra for my knee money it's killing me i have a working day and shannon's daughter sophie is in town so she's there and vicky's like oh we're getting your mother a bra because your mom doesn't have a bra she cuts the padding out of what bra and then she's got what boob kind of hanging out the other boob up here because she says her boobs are uneven you've got one boob sitting there comfortably feeling feeling well loved and then you've got another boob just flopping out there like what if carmella's children like where's my where's my mother where's my mother then we cut to shannon in the confessional going are my boobs do my boobs look uneven do you are they are they uneven so as they shop they start gossiping you know of course and uh they're talking about carmella And Shannon's like, oh, Carmella, she's a Sophie.
34:50She's a new girl. And she got Emily a birthday gift. And it was a purse. And there was a vibrator inside. Oh, it was a vibrator.
35:01Ronnie Karam: And Sophie's like, that is an amazing present. Was it USB-C or was it like battery? Like, was it lithium? Was it one of those ones that you have to unscrew the bottom and put like the big giant batteries in? Those are the worst. I mean, God, don't order a vibrator off of Amazon, am I right? Wait a minute, you use vibrators? That is disgusting. That is disgusting. Women should not pleasure themselves. If a woman needs pleasure, she should find a man that visibly hates her and needs a helicopter on his wiener before he sticks it. That's what a woman needs. Preferably married in front of Jesus. She's like, what?
35:41Ronnie Karam: Oh, my God, you guys are such prudes. She's like, I do not need to hear about my daughter touching herself in the lady parts. Well, I'm sure she doesn't need to hear about her mother cutting off half of her bra and let her boob flop around because she's insecure about her boobs. But you know what? Here we are. So let's just all accept each other. You know what I mean? But your mom started to get a fight at Susan Ornard, thanks to me. So she could afford one bra and nothing for you ever again. Do you understand that? She's like, well, yeah, she's going to save enough money to buy a house. What do you think of that?
36:21Ronnie Karam: What do you think of that? That's what your mom's going to do. She's like, oh, well, that's great, Mom. Congratulations. Well, I'm trying. I'm trying. Ma 'am, can I try on a bra less than$200 ,000, please? I'm on a budget. Well, you know that Sophie applied for a promotion. Good. Then you can afford your own bills because your mother is not going to pay for your bills anymore or your vibrators, young lady. Do you understand me? And Vicky tells us how important it is to teach your kids financial independence. And then we see clips of her getting Brianna a car for her birthday and then going, oh, my God, Brianna, it's a car.
37:02You've got a car. And you get to make the payments yourself.
37:06Ronnie Karam: Brianna's like, ugh. It's very important that your children are independent. They should not want your money or to be around you at all ever. And that is being your good mother. And then she tells us, Shedded has saggy elephant boobs. Elephant boobs. It's a disaster. It's a disaster. I mean, I know she's kidding and stuff, but isn't Vicky the one who's making both of her seasons about how mean Slade's smiley was about her looks? How do you think that feels to see somebody call you saggy elephant boobs? I mean, geez. Even an old elephant would be offended by that. Do your boobs say glow? Do they wobble to the throw?
37:47Ronnie Karam: Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you put it over your shoulder like something, something, something? Do your boobs say glow? So funny. So funny. And this is Vicky when she's trying to be nice. Well, I just need, I need a sling. I need to put something to put skin in a sling. Okay, that's all I need. Just get me a skin sling. Okay? Sophia's like, yeah, I don't ever want to come visit you guys again. This has been terrible. Okay. Whoa, Sophia, I'm tucking my boobin. Whoa! Whoa! Now it's time to go to the luau party. So everybody's getting their glam. And then we go to Billy's.
38:29Ronnie Karam: at the beach. And I'm really glad it's not Vicky's brother Billy. That guy. Oh yeah, I saw you at a massage. I have your location. I saw you at a massage place last night, wacky men. Going to get hat jobs from shady massage places in Mexico. Men. Am I right? Yeah, I can't imagine why a woman would want a vibrator when there are Billys out in the world.
39:00Ronnie Karam: So Shannon's there getting prepared for her luau. And she's like, oh, these chairs are a little bit low or the table's too high. I need higher chairs or lower table. Nobody wants their boobs on the table. Okay. Nipples need to be above the table. All right. Please. So they give her a pillow to sit on. And she sits on the pillow and she puts her boob. She's like, well, it's not touching my nipples. So, hmm. Well, one of my boobs is touching the table. The other one is up here. damn it these bras i shouldn't have cut this out i shouldn't have cut it out can we get a table that is on um could you put a shim under one end of this table so it's a little bit higher than the other one so my boobs look a little bit more even as i as i sit at the table so emily's at home talking shit about her friends to shane in front of her kid luke just to remind you when katie was on this show uh katie said that emily's kids were talking shit to Katie's daughter while she was babysitting.
40:01Ronnie Karam: And Emily was like, how dare you accuse me of talking shit in front of my kids? Cut to Emily now being like, oh, fuck my friends. Right, Luke? All right. Yeah. Victoria's going to be there tonight. Oh, I haven't seen her since I left early. I have zero expectations for her. Right, Luke? What a bitch. Katie's somewhere in Orange County right now. Like, see, I told you. She's going to record a three-hour podcast about it. Proof. proof of what I was saying never doubt me again America now Shannon's mystery man Doug arrives at the luau Doug is not a new romantic interest he's been a very very dear friend of mine for years we go on a couple of dates at the beginning it wasn't compatico Sympatical.
40:56Compatical. Compatical. Compatical son. I don't know. However you say it. We're different people. We're just very, very different. So, you know, now I call him like a friend would call him. I call him through his front doorbell and I say things like, Doug, it's me, Shannon, just standing outside on your front porch. Are you going to let me in, Doug? Doug, let me in. This is getting embarrassing. I'm just standing out here. Doug, Doug, I know you're there. I know you are in there. Good, Doug. Doug. Doug. Doug and Shannon. Doug. Doug! Doug! Doug! Doug, did you - Doug, the sprinklers are on. Doug, please turn off the sprinklers.
41:37Oh, oh, oh, I'm getting wet. Doug and Doug, you know, I'm getting pneumonia. I'm getting pneumonia. I'm wet. I will not leave. I need to be taken care of. Please. I'm drowning. I'm drowning in the sprinklers, Doug. Come to the door.
41:55Ronnie Karam: just friends. Emily shows up, and she has, like, really wacky, hilarious things to say, which is why she's been on this show for almost a decade. She starts with that line that every, like, straight married person does when they come to a party like this or go to Hawaii or something, and they're like, wow, it's about time I got laid. It's hilarious. We all know that we've got a dad who said it. So there is a limbo thing. And she, you know, Shanna's like, oh, you need to go under the limbo thing. It's a representation of mine and Doug's relationship. Oh, did I say that? We're just friends. Doug, Doug, friend Doug.
42:36Whoa, fist bump. Whoa, whoa. Whoops. Just got my fist into your mouth. Whoops. That was a friend. That was a friend bump. Doug, where are you going? Doug, come back here.
42:48Ronnie Karam: so Emily goes under the little limbo thing and she's like wow we're a little old for limbo and I'm the young one here what's she gonna have under the limbo thing been gay so you go under the limbo thing and then you get some been gay listen I have been gay for a very long time and let me speak for all of the people who have been gay just say shut up shut up gina and travis arrive and gina's like oh my god this is such a nice party i thought it was going to be like decorated with like you know like thrown out cans and stuff like that but like it's actually nice for a poor person and shannon tells emily listen i i just want you to know that i was speaking to vicky she's a very good horrible person and um you know vicky is expecting an apology from you.
43:43She's like, well, I'm not apologizing!
43:45Ronnie Karam: So people come in and they're limboing and I swear to you, nine out of ten husbands, says the Emily line. Like, wow, look at me getting laid finally. You don't get laid once you've been married for a while, am I right, boys? They're like, oh, ha, ha, ha, ha. Terry Dubrow comes in and he does not want the lay. He's the only one who's like, no. He's like, I'm very rich. This is the, I I will not have these kind of fabrics on my suit, okay? Or around my neck. Just get this the fuck away from me, okay? You're lucky I'm here. Meanwhile, Gina is talking to Jen and Tamara, and she's like, Becky is saying things behind Carmella's bag.
44:26And, like, you know, now they got to a good place, but then she said, like, you know, like, Danny's raising those kids or whatever, and she shouldn't say things like that. Wait a minute. She said that? Oh, I didn't hear that one. Oh, it's going to be so fun.
44:39Ronnie Karam: so Carmella comes oh my gosh it's Carmella what are we gonna do we see her legs coming out of the car it's like slow motion to Carmella Carmella Carmella Carmella what are we gonna do about Carmella and Shannon's like well oh hello Carmella hello good friend so how are things going with good person Vicky she's like I'm still a pest it's been like days and I'm like literally still Well, you know, she just says things that sounds like she's a horrible person. Because it comes from a place deep inside her. It's a deep well of being a horrible person. So, you should apologize. Yeah, but Shannon, it's not right, the stuff that Vicky says.
45:27Like, it's not right. Like, you know, you just told me, Shannon, that Vicky said that Danny is raising Carmella's kids. And Carmela's like, what? She said that Danny is raising my children?
45:41Ronnie Karam: How dare she? I'll tell you who's raising my children. The public school system and iPads. TikTok is raising my child. How dare you? I email my children constantly when I'm three hours away. Now we're just all supposed to parent at home? This is the modern world.
46:10Summer 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.

48:44Ronnie Karam: And now Carmella is mad. And she's exactly the same way as when she's not mad. She's just kind of like sitting there blank face. But she's like, I'm mad. And everyone's like, ooh, no. Carmella's mad. It's going to be so funny. My heart is like racing right now, you guys. Look at me. I'm just so upset. I'm going to say something. You said be more upset about it. It is completely clear now that Vicky's apology in Vegas was disingenuous. That's right. I said disingenuous. I know you're all shocked, but you shouldn't be. Don't judge a book by the covers it sings. I hope Vicky has some reputable life insurance because I'm about to drop kick an OG.
49:35Ronnie Karam: Okay, Shannon. Sorry, but I'm going to be making a scene at your party. Sorry in advance. give me a lay because this girl's come to play Shanda's like oh oh whoops whoops I've sure gotten myself into a pickle did someone say pickles delicious and so this is a couple's party so everybody's guy is there and people are like hey Vicky why isn't your guy here and she's like here's what it'd be at TV he'd be hiding in the bathroom well didn't you say he's always hiding in the bathroom at home too Well, yeah, but that's because I'm there. Mike likes you guys about as much as he likes me.
50:19Ronnie Karam: So Terry and Heather are outside having a drink, you know, where there are like less poor people. And Emily walks up and Terry's like, whoa, look at you. Holy moly, you are fit. Wow. Oh, God, it is good to see you looking so different. You look amazing. Congratulations on not looking like Emily anymore. God, I didn't want to say anything before, but I would say, God, who is that coming towards me? Now I said, whoa, who is that coming towards me? Whatever you did, keep it up. Gosh, hopefully we can start doing things like that soon on your brain. You know, just complete, complete do-over. Am I right?
51:02Ronnie Karam: Oh, God, are you wearing a light? That'll give you skin irritation. I'm just warning you right now. Terry, you know, it would be nice to say cheers to Emily, but I don't have a drink. Oh, well, yeah. Maybe it's because you didn't stop by the bar. Right, jeez. Maybe you should let Alfredo out of the trunk. He could serve you again. I mean, you really have been punishing the guy a long time. All he was trying to do was filter the pool table, which is what you told him to do in the first place. Terry, give me your drink. Oh, right, right. Okay, you ladies have fun. All right, Emily, don't go changing.
51:33Ronnie Karam: Come on. Jeez, who is this? Am I right? okay well anyway uh heather i just wanted to tell you like i know you're upset with me but oh oh really emily why would i be upset with you well i don't know like i just want to be able to have an opinion oh oh because of course emily is a complete asshole to people and then comes back and cries and acts like she doesn't know why they're mad at her yes it's kind of the same thing we've been watching for a long time gina told me that you said that being around me a lot irritates you. Everything irritates me. Doesn't mean I don't like you sometimes. It means I don't like you most of the time.
52:16Ronnie Karam: And Emily's like, okay, fine, I'll do it. Heather, you are such an amazing actor. I admire you so much. The other day I was watching Golden Girls and I thought, wow, Betty White, what a hack, am I right? This show really could use more Heather Dubrow. Oh, Emily, that's all I needed to hear. Come here. Give me a hug. Ouch. Not that close. Air hugs. Air hugs. Okay. Air hugs. Okay. Stand back there. Do you have a pen? Okay. Let me just sign. Let me just sign a menu for you. I don't have headshots on me. I brought a small purse. But if you give me your email address, I can send you a digital copy of my face.
52:54Ronnie Karam: You can go home and tell your children, I've met television's Heather Dubrow. More! You know, at first I was upset with Emily for being a monster to me for TV time. but really all I need to hear is that I'm admired and that I'm a better actor than Betty White so I do forgive Emily and to Betty White, wherever you are my turn alright, well now we can hang out we can do a date night, maybe I'll even do something like foofy, like caviar ugh you are so adorable to think that decent caviar would allow itself to be swallowed by the likes of you but you're so sweet for saying that can we go to a homosexual bar at 4 p.m.
53:36Ronnie Karam: on a Monday and get drag queens to be nice to us for television? All right. Oh, goody. Best friends. Now it's time for everybody to sit down for dinner, and Carmella introduces herself to Travis, and Jen's like, oh, Carmella, that's Travis, and he has giant balls. She's like, okay, that is a lot of information. Oh, look at Shannon over there with that guy, Doug. What's up with that guy? Did you guys know that his ex-girlfriend is the girl that came to Heather's party? She had those big boobs. Remember the girl with big boobs? And we see a flashback to this lady looking completely lost next to a limo while Shannon is on the curb going, Whoa, this is crazy.
54:19Ronnie Karam: One part of the street just goes up suddenly. It's called a curve, Shannon. Oh, right, curbs. Oh, yes, I remember. I was walking Archie in my car one night and a curb hit me. It was a thing. It was a thing. It was in the blogs. And we cut back. And Tamara's like, wait a minute. Shannon is hanging out with a good friend's ex-boyfriend. Whatever happened to Girl Code? Oh, Tamara. The queen of Girl Code. Maybe there's some weird swinger thing going on. I don't know. I'm going to ask her. Shannon, are you swingers? that guy you're having sex with that guy you're a swinger i am i i i i'm i'm not a swinger well emily was just saying that your friend that you brought to galentine's party is his ex-girlfriend this guy is just like oh but she not but she knows though she she knows about it she she knows that we're nothing but but friends so that's your not swinger Look at Shannon, but it sure is a swinger.
55:23No, Doug and I, we are just close friends. There are no sparks.
55:26Ronnie Karam: And Doug says, sporadic sparks. He said sporadic sparks. Okay, we went on one date, one time, one time. We just had a little kiss. It was like this. Why aren't you opening your mouth? Open your mouth. Let me in there. And then he kept saying, please, please step away. It was romantic. But, you know, we're just friends now. Meanwhile, Carmella's just kind of whispering to Danny. And Danny's like, you okay? You okay, babe? I would appreciate it if you would stop smacking that waitress on the rear end. What are you talking about? I haven't touched it. I haven't done anything. I'm just here for you.
56:09Here we are.
56:10Ronnie Karam: I brought you to Paris. Don't you love it? Oh, mon cher, mon frere. Stop lying to me, Danny. Listen, Danny, it's not about your compulsive lies today, all right? I'm just very upset because Gina just told me that Vicky said that you raised my children. Raise them? Why would she say that? I don't even know your children. You have children? Of course you know my children. You're with them Monday through Friday. Listen, babe, you know, now that we're newly married, if you want to have kids, you just need to say something. We're not married, Danny. Stop lying. Stop lying. You don't have children. Stop gaslighting me.
56:40Ronnie Karam: Well, anyway, just yell at this woman. Just tell her she's an asshole. She's trying to say that I'm a terrible mother. Well, how can you even be a terrible mother if you're not a mother? That's what I say. God, nice to meet you. My name is Frederick. No, it's not, Danny. So Jen hears and she's like, Danny, did you tell Vicky that you were raising the children? Because that's what I heard. I heard it. And listen, don't doubt me because I've got a brain so sharp that it is being used as a model for robots in Singapore. What? Please say that's not true. Alexa's confusing enough. What do you mean?
57:16Hey, wait, come on. Before you get too upset, you should ask Vicky if that's what she actually said, because you don't even know that. And now we're to dinner with all these people, and so you should confront someone at the dinner. Okay, this is called Mama Bird pushing Baby Bird out of the nest and saying, get the fuck out of my nest, you little bitch. Then the bird falls to the ground, and the mama says, where's the bird go? I mean, what's the bird's even mean? That bird was so mean to me, Baby Bird. Then I fly down and I erase the baby bird's face. I erase it. What the hell are you even talking about?
57:50Okay, the barn is yellow tiki. Go ahead, do it. Do it. It's going to be great. Okay, well, I'm going to say something. Ting, ting, ting, ting, ting.
57:57Ronnie Karam: Oh, my God. Why are people tiki? What are we taking? What do we have to listen to a speech from this idiot now? Hey, everybody. Carmela wants to say something. Tamara, I've got this. I've got this. Okay, Tamara. Carmela's going to say something. This could be so good. Tamara, I've got this, okay? Oh, yeah. Hey, Vicky. Carmella just wants to say, you're a stupid bitch, okay? And how come you said that her boyfriend raised her children? So funny. Oh, can I have some more guacamole, eh? Carmella's like, thank you. Thank you, Tamara, but I can do this on my own. Vicky, did you say that Danny was...
58:37Ronnie Karam: That's not even the truth. That's not even the truth. Oh, my God, am I ever going to be able to confront anybody on this show without being interrupted? That is not the truth. Listen, I had a conversation with Danny at your house. Wait, why are you putting quotation marks around? It's a house. Well, that place, that possible rental. What are you saying? What? Well, I don't know. I had a conversation with this man. He said, hi, my name is Danny. And, you know, he's evolved into the kids' life. I did not say he raised the kids. I did not say that that is an absolute lie. Carmella is raising the children.
59:11Ronnie Karam: And I don't know how this is getting twisted around. All I said was that Carmella is a wonderful mother who raises children in a house. In a quote-unquote house. Why are you quoting house? Stop it. Well, I'm just saying that you raise your children. Why are you putting quotation marks around raise? Okay, your children. But they are children. Why are you putting quotation marks around children? I'm just saying you're a good mother. I'm just saying you're a good mother. Wait a minute. I do have to say, Shannon was there. Now, Shannon, did Vicki say that Danny is raising Carmella's children? Shannon's like, oh, well, I'm going to be honest with you.
59:51I have only kissed this man one time. Well, I was there, and she did say it.
59:56Ronnie Karam: Wow. Do not put words in my mouth. You know what? These people, they take things and they twist it. They twist it. They're both raising the kids. There. There you go. like I said I was there and you did say Danny is raising the children oh my gosh rewind the tape rewind the tape they do rewind the tape and Vicky says well it works for that because you know Danny's there raising the kids basically and then we come back it's like listen I met Danny I met the children you're doing a wonderful job raising your children if I said something that hurt your feelings like you don't feed your children there's no food your children don't even have a tv to watch you know stuff like that i did not mean it in a bad way i was just trying to say you're a slut you dropped babies you left them alone but i didn't mean it in a mean way so i'm sorry carmella's like uh but that's like the most hurtful thing that you can say to somebody well i think the point is you should apologize to carmella well i don't even want an apology from vicky because she apologized the last time and then she's saying it again and she called me shitty mom in Vegas and then I said do you mean that you're sorry and she said yes and then now she's doing this like I don't even feed my children like really really like I'm not even a mother like what she's trying to put holes in my life she's trying to discredit me she's trying to say that I don't have a house no I said you have a house a house in quotation marks that's not a house though I haven't I have a house that's not a quotation marks and Vicky's rolling her eyes and just like wanting this to all go away.
1:01:30Ronnie Karam: But she tells us everybody has seen the red flag with Carmella. And we cut to Gina saying, Oh, well, you know, she's got this grand house, but like it's not really furnished. Like what's going on with that? Haven't your children been using like an empty two liter of Diet Coke for a couch for like years? Shut up, Gina. And Vicky tells us, I've not tried to discredit her. she used to be that all her little loathsome she does that little shimmy thing she's like yeah really got one there and jen tells carmella oh this isn't making an excuse um because it is bullshit but you know we were in palm springs and she called me low-hanging fruit and i just got over it you know and i said why do you pick on me and she said i just don't like new girls so carmella you know that's it you're just newer and that's just how it goes whoops sorry welcome to the group you're gonna love it and vicky's like yeah yeah yeah i don't like new girls so there she goes yeah well you're new this year so whatever oh excuse me girl i'm not new this year is 21 years ago i started this franchise i started it do not do that do not do that i invented i invented this franchise and carmella just goes oh well everything has an expiration and Heather goes, oh, and everyone's quieted.
1:02:54Ronnie Karam: Yes, Carmella. Vicky said it's about to pop off. She's like, who the fuck are you? Well, you can't say things like that about somebody as a mother and then think that they're not going to dish it back, Vicky. Do not talk to me that way. Before me, there was only Charlie Chaplin. No one even talked on TV until I came on TV. I invented talkies. Do not talk to me that way. Well, I just did. So what are you going to do about it, Vicky? And Vicky just sits there moving her lips like, oh, oh, oh. Good for you, Carmella. Oh, yeah, but if it was anybody who said this to me besides Carmella, maybe I would be offended.
1:03:38Ronnie Karam: But you know what? She said it. So I just look at her and I think, you're so dumb. You are so dumb, Gretchen. You're stupid. To say we all have an expiration date. yeah we do oh Vicky that's your comeback Vicky just got body slammed on this show and she doesn't know what to do now she's just sitting there sputtering like oh okay well I guess that's not going to really upset Vicky too much so Shannon let me ask you a question I heard about what happened to Laquinta but you told me one story and everybody else told me another story so what's the truth what happened because Vicky said that you owe her an apology, Emily.
1:04:19And she's like, I'm not apologizing.
1:04:21Ronnie Karam: I was not rude. Vicky, we're just trying to get to know you because we're women who care about women. Sorry, we were asking you a question. We just want to know you. Well, it's very hard for me to talk because I've been hurt. I've been hurt in the past. People leave me. And I don't want to be. I don't want to be. I don't want to be left. and so that's why that's why I didn't want to answer your questions oh my god you guys are so full of shit Emily you were not just asking her questions you were poking at her trying to get a wrath out of her and you finally got what you asked for and then you're fucking crying about it and Vicky you are left all the time because you're an asshole and you don't want to talk about it because you just want to come on TV and collect a paycheck while you don't deliver anything so please I'm just very I just want to talk about my I'm very inappropriate I've got feelings I've got feelings.
1:05:15Ronnie Karam: Slight Smiley hurt my feelings 20 years ago. It is very upsetting to me. Oh my God, Vicky. Vicky's being vulnerable. So now Vicky has turned this masterfully. And now all the ladies are gathering around Vicky, hugging her and kissing her. And being like, we're sisters. And Carmella is sitting there like, what the fuck? This is very hypocritical. I'm sorry. Like, we have to worry how Vicky feels. The whole point is that she made me feel like shit. Why is everybody hugging Vicky? yeah but Carmella I felt like I was drowning I felt like I was drowning okay you know she's like well but we're women and when we drown we help each other up not push each other down or hold each other's heads under the water oh well yeah we all do it our different ways I've been hurt as a woman and that's why I call another woman a slut and a bad mother can't you understand that oh my god poor Vicky poor Vicky oh poor Vicky so vulnerable oh thank god vic is finally opening up i was sitting there i was in my kitchen and i had pizzas that i paid 80 million dollars for they were for the store there's pizza dough and i even had i mean had olives on it and i was there five in the morning and i was thinking oh god no i was eating this pizza well except for shannon she was eating the raw pizza dough kind of crying and holding one of her boobs up but i thought this is what it's like to be abandoned it's like would people die or the men leave and they are all just eating this up okay well this was fun we've just watched Vicky cornered and find her way out of it easily sorry Carmella Carmella's like oh god but she's old she's expired never mind shut up Carmella you had your chance okay now we're gonna play something called the coconut game you put a coconut between the couples and you have to roll the coconut up using only your body.
1:07:09Okay, I'm going to do this with my just friend, this guy, Doug. Okay, Doug. Oh, God, Doug, Doug. Oh, God, here comes the coconut. Oh, God, yes, Doug, yes, I will marry you, Doug.
1:07:23Ronnie Karam: And it's disturbing. So all the couples are rolling like a coconut up each other's body and like humping and man, I've seen some crazy shit in restaurants, but if I was a waiter at this place, I would jump over the ledge. I would just jump over. Carmella is doing it backwards. So she's like facing away from Danny. And he's like kind of butt humping her with the coconut. And you know, Vicky's like, I told you. I told you. Look at her. That is not biblical. So then most of the ladies surround Vicky and hug her and tell her that they're so proud of her for being vulnerable. Oh my God, this is crazy.
1:08:03Ronnie Karam: Like how is Vicky the victim? Like, she's never accountable for anything. What are people crying about? Jen's like, well, she did say sorry. I mean, what do you want from Vicky? That's a lot for Vicky. Yeah, but she said, she's sorry, but she never said any of those things. And I'm just, and I'm a dumb slut for saying anything about it. It's like, well, but, you know, that's Vicky. So you're lucky. And Gina's like, oh, my God. Vicky's like a mass dietitist Jedi mind track where, like, you're wrong. Everyone knows you're wrong. Everyone tells you you're wrong. And then somehow by the end of it, you're like the victim and we're all consoling you.
1:08:39It's so fucking impressive. It's like amazing. Well, I would like to thank everybody for coming. Literally all over coconuts. I know I feel better. Oh, yes, yes. Sorry, I can smoke inside, right? Hey, Shannon, have you ever touched Doug's wiener? No, I haven't. I haven't touched his wiener, but he has bragged about it quite a lot. He says it's the size of a Coke can.
1:09:06Ronnie Karam: And then the episode ends with them walking out and Tamara just turning to the camera like that. And that brings us to the end of Real Housewives of Orange County.
