2:49Ben Mandelker: brown or plaid now of course of course I had to wear the green for Philly although I am feeling a bit blue right now
3:08Ben Mandelker: thank you America it feels great to celebrate that here in Philadelphia of all places.
3:18Ronnie Karam: Oh my god. Amazing. This is a very low chair. I'm so sorry. I didn't notice before. I feel like Danny DeVito over here shrinking down in this chair. It is so great being here. We love this city. We woke up and we went on the morning news this morning. Yes. Positively Philadelphia. Positively Philadelphia. They were very positive. They're not fucking around over there. Like, hey! They were. And we knew we really made it because it was a dog. The first guest was a dog. Yeah. And then the next guest after the dog was a squirrel. Well, they were talking about squirrels.
4:03Ben Mandelker: They had a squirrel segment where they showed a squirrel on screen. And then they had two of the presenters up there talking about squirrels.
4:10Ronnie Karam: They were vamp. Just vamp. We need some. Keep going, girls. keep going about the squirrels. And they're like, well, you know those squirrels? Those tails are really long. Yep. They're like mice. They're rats.
4:24Ben Mandelker: But when you see them eating those acorns, you gotta love it. You gotta love that John.
4:32Ronnie Karam: The John. She said, yeah, well, you know, squirrels are basically, they're just rodents. She goes, really? She's like, yeah, they're like mice, but with like tails. and they cut.
4:45Ben Mandelker: And then... Wait, wait, when she said, they're basically just mice with big tails, I literally thought she said, they're just... I thought she said, they're basically just mice with big tits. I was like, whoa!
4:56Ronnie Karam: All right, and we're in the green room with other guests, the dogs, basically, who are going to go on the show. And we talk really loudly at all times. And Ben went, does she seem... I was like, did she... They're mice with tits? and they all turned around and looked at us. I was like, no. This is positively Philadelphia. So then, there was another dog. There was another dog. I'm not even kidding you. The first dog was so cute. It was like a little Frenchie and the trainer was on. And so the Frenchie was just sitting there like looking out into the camera. This next dog was, I think it was like a rescue organization or something.
5:37Ronnie Karam: This dog was just all over. They was like, ah! I was like, this dog is going to piss on something. And then they're going to bring us.
5:43Ben Mandelker: The first dog was like Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The second dog was season eight of Real Housewives of New York.
5:51Ronnie Karam: It just kept going down until us. Until they reached the bottom.
5:56Ben Mandelker: Yeah, but we went on. And then they were like, oh, and then here's Alana Glazer. We're like, what? From Broad City. And then we went on. And we had a great time. We had a fun time on the local news. And then we've just been hanging out in Philly all day long. Yeah. Doing the things.
6:11Ronnie Karam: Something really scary did happen here, though. You know, when we stay in hotels, we have, like, sudden access to things we don't have in the room, I mean. You know? And we do have access to mirrors, obviously, in real life. But I walked in the bathroom, and I really like to look in the mirror. And it's not because, like, I think I'm hot, but it's, like, nice to see somebody, you know? So I was like, hey. Hey, you. And I noticed one of those small mirrors on the wall, like the round mirror. I know they're makeup mirrors. I'm not a total moron, but I don't wear makeup yet. So I was like, I'm going to check this.
6:44Ronnie Karam: I'm going to look at myself in this mirror. It's like another mirror to look at myself. So I pulled it out. Holy shit. What? Don't do that. That is horrifying. How do people do? Why would you have that in your home? It was horrifying. I felt like one of those people with a sudden fear of holes. Like the tiny holes, what are they called? Like lotus leaves.
7:04Ben Mandelker: That's holophobia.
7:05Ronnie Karam: Yeah, like misphobia. Misfobia. No, that's... What is it? Tiny holes.
7:12Ben Mandelker: Tiny hole-ophobia.
7:14Ronnie Karam: There's nothing you can do. It's just better from far away. I'm better from far away. So this is how you're seeing me.
7:22Ben Mandelker: No, you're better up close than in person. By the way, there is a real housewife in town. Did you guys know that? Yeah, Bose is here for the women's convention. Yeah. And she is not here tonight.
7:36Ronnie Karam: and we'd like to welcome
7:38Ben Mandelker: not both but god bless her I'm not going in this I can feed that's not a quote we didn't ask her we found out today when we were backstage at the Positively Philly between the dogs
7:51Ronnie Karam: I'm sorry if I'm getting headlights but I'm actually chilly I did not realize it was going to be so chilly out here it's been so warm out there I was like I'm going to wear my I'm going to wear my short sleeve shirt my nipples are literally freezing off right now

8:44Ben Mandelker: Guys, come to my apartment We're going to have a fun Cuban party for Abe's birthday
8:52Ronnie Karam: Ew You live here? This is an apartment? This building is older than the gay rumors about Parvet It's historic My best friend is a historical figure Carolyn Bissett Please don't mention her It's my trauma Jesus, how many stairs I gotta climb To come to a lame party at errands With trash tapes to the walls They're decorations, not trash I'll tell you what trash is my legs. I got a sprained ankle, a broken tibula, a ruptured spleen vertebrae, psoriasis at the big toe and behind the knee a queef.
9:42Ronnie Karam: Daisy, Erica here. I got home from renting clothes and pretending I'm obsessed with Taco Bell and I got your apology flowers that you sent me.
9:55Ben Mandelker: Apology flowers? I don't apologize. Those were you should treat me more like I'm rich and established like Martha Stewart flowers.
10:02Ronnie Karam: Well you owed me an apology I invited you to my private island
10:06Ben Mandelker: Um that we had to fly public to Oh wait hold on one second I'm getting a message from Martha She's come up with the best Halloween costume Is she gonna dress like John Gosselin did?

10:34Ronnie Karam: Why am I eating a couch pillow? Carol! Carol! Carol! Could you be quiet, Si? Why are you yelling Carol, Carol, Carol's rude? Shut the fuck up, Daisy. You're not my parents. Carol, Carol, Carol. You know what?
10:52Ben Mandelker: I heard you complained about the sushi at my house.
10:55Ronnie Karam: I said I don't eat grocery store sushi. It's fast food. Oh, bullshit. the shrimp cocktail you serve is from Costco. You're coming for my fishmonger?
11:07Ronnie Karam: Your fish market gets fish from my fish market. Your fish market stole my fish market's font. Font? My fish market doesn't need a font. My fish market's handwriting is perfect. Oh, really? So perfect? I could barely even read the words of your fish market. Really? I don't even need a font for my fish market because the monger sings the prices of the fish to the people. Guess what? The fish at my fishmonger actually sing. Singing fish. Who wants a singing fish? How dare you? That fish plays Jean Valjean on Les Miserables. Who? Girls, girls, you know what this sounds like to me?
11:53Ben Mandelker: Hot fishmonger besets summer.
12:00Ben Mandelker: Hansen.
12:04Ronnie Karam: That's so stupid.
12:06Ben Mandelker: That felt like a real triumph for the podcast.
12:09Ronnie Karam: That was. It's rough doing the first time of a show that you're not completely sure about. Oh, also, we'd like to welcome Miss Shelby Walter. This is one of our beloved note takers and recapers who actually wrote the notes for tonight. So if anything is incorrect, that is Shelby Walter's fault. My social security number. Five, five, five, seven, three. Just kidding.
12:40Ben Mandelker: I have a question about page three. Did you mean to capitalize the the there? That's not correct.
12:46Ronnie Karam: Real Housewives of New York, 16, episode nine. All bark, no infight.
12:54Ben Mandelker: Would you believe it, girls? By the way, is anyone watching The Golden Life?

13:09Ben Mandelker: Whoa, excuse me. You know what? You're not supposed to be on this podcast. I'm sorry. It's just me, okay? I'm sorry. You've got to go. I don't even know who you are. Can you be, okay?
13:17Ronnie Karam: This is for classy women, okay? Please, please.
13:22Ben Mandelker: Especially a show of Ramona kicking people out of places.
13:27Ronnie Karam: So basically the same. Aaron. So Aaron and Abe got in an argument at the birthday party. Aaron was throwing for Abe because the kids were going crazy and they don't believe in slapping their children on television, apparently. You only do that when the cameras are down. And so she's like, could you put away the camera? He's like, what? Okay, I'll put down the kids on my birthday. Really? You're saying on your birthday? Why do you think it's on your birthday?
13:58Ben Mandelker: cackling hangs
14:00Ronnie Karam: don't talk to me like that don't you talk to me like that oh my god
14:05Ben Mandelker: so now it's at the morning after the Cuban party the honeycomb green decoration is still hanging from the wall Jessel is haunted Jessel got no sleep she just had nightmares over and over oh my god I woke up in a coat sweat cause I thought Povet put that on the ball it was just a dream
14:25Ronnie Karam: so Abe comes in and Aaron is doing that thing. I guess you do it in couples. I'm never in one, but I'm assuming that you do this when you're mad at each other. You just walk around and don't talk to each other. So they're having the don't talk off, and he's like, I'm going to make a pancake, but just says it to himself. And then she's just like... And finally he breaks the tension. He's like, okay, look, I was just annoyed. She's like, if you're annoyed at me, like it came out another way did it because it came out like he was fucking annoyed with you right straight down the middle like that's annoying we just mean better communication what part of i was fucking annoyed with you did you not understand like how do i need to communicate that better to you
15:10Ben Mandelker: the thing the thing is like with abe is that like abe and i is like we're very connected and like we're completely opposite like i'm very type a and abe is like very much like type b pussy face you You know? And like, even though his name is Abe and he has to live with that, that his name is not Bay because that starts with a B, type B. Do you see what I'm saying here, guys?
15:37Ronnie Karam: Well, I just got upset because like something fell over in the lib, like a drink fell over and you made it a big deal. And then we cut there and be like, why, the drink fell over? God! It's like, I wish you would just communicate. Like, what was wrong? A drink fell over. Fuck.
15:56Ben Mandelker: It's just that I'm getting emotional because I don't know how to deal with Levi. I can't. I don't know how to deal with him. He doesn't listen to me. And last night I was feeling like I just don't know what to do. A drink fell over. And I had all these people and I felt responsible to entertain. I'm like, Aaron, don't worry. You've never entertained any of us. Just don't worry about it.
16:20Ronnie Karam: No one came to an Aaron party expecting to be entertained. Okay. bless her heart
16:30Ronnie Karam: so I kind of like that she pulled in Emily on this she's like okay well sorry it's Luke Luke is the problem I'm fucking tired of it so it's Levi's fault now poor Levi Levi's just like fucking baby it's ruining my marriage which I mean I get I think it's happened to a lot of us
16:52Ben Mandelker: just other people's babies so Aaron is like normally I can handle kid chaos I've been doing it for a long time but it's not easy to have four kids okay because there's a lot of guilt that comes with it and when it's like you know what then just don't be on the show
17:10Ronnie Karam: wait till they can talk there's a lot of guilt that comes with it give them a minute you think it's bad when they're two wait until they're like 51 the point is I'm still going on about that shit
17:24Ben Mandelker: Aaron is stressed because she's in an old-fashioned townhome and her kids aren't listening to her and she's taking it out on Abe. But now she is acknowledged that she's taking it out on Abe and he feels better about it.
17:37Ronnie Karam: Look, if I'm married to you and I say, will you put down the kids? Just put down the kids. Like, honestly, in Aaron's defense. Don't say like, okay, I'll put him down on my birthday. Put the fucking kids away. What do you want? I will yell at you at your own goddamn birthday party. Is that what you want to hear?
17:53Ben Mandelker: So they're okay. They kiss and make up, and Abe the babe and Aaron, they're back together. He's also sleeveless in this scene, too, we should mention. So that's always nice.
18:03Ronnie Karam: So let's go to the Paris Cafe. Wow, Paris. It's really up and coming. The city might make it one day. The Paris Cafe with Jussel and Sy.
18:16Ben Mandelker: And it's freezing out, and they're both cold, but they have to film out here, and Jussel's like, So yeah, I feel like the fucking Twilight Zone after Erin's party. There were like so many like hideous party city decorations in there. I'm like I work in fashion.
18:32Ronnie Karam: I know like basically you know like Daisy saw it with Carol, Carol, Carol. What the fuck? Why would you start yelling at me at a party? It's so rude.
18:41Ben Mandelker: Who
18:42Ronnie Karam: does that at a party?
18:44Ben Mandelker: What's her deal right now anyway? Like you know her more than anyone. Why did you bring her into our group? We were bad enough as it was.
18:54Ronnie Karam: And then we find out the truth about Daisy. Well, kind of the truth. Who knows what's the truth? This is Housewives. But about Daisy and Cy. So before it was, oh, we both worked at Scores together. We were bartenders. It was great. We've been best friends ever since. Nobody's like me and Daisy. And now Cy's like, fuck her. I barely knew her. I knew her at Scores. She was a bitch. I didn't talk to her for four years. And now she's on my fucking show. What do you want from me?
19:23Ben Mandelker: Yeah, basically they had a falling out. And then she's like, oh, I remember that she's really fun. And then I remembered the popcorn ceilings. And it was too late.
19:32Ronnie Karam: This is so funny too, because Cy's like, oh my god. You know what? I was like, I was friends with Daisy, but she's just so fucking negative. Cy. Oh, really? Really, Cy? That's like when Ben or I telling each other, Wow, you're just so critical. I need to take a step back. I really need to take a step back.
19:53Ben Mandelker: But for some strange reason, I'm a Psy head now. I can't explain it, guys. I like Psy. What can I say? That's okay. Fellow scattered applause Psy heads out there. Psy head. Psy army, rise up.

20:20Ben Mandelker: And I apologize. I apologize. I'm in Philadelphia. We'll defend a Wawa.
20:26Ronnie Karam: Yes. El Paso wasn't into Quiznos. They were like, what the fuck is this? Why would you grill the fucking sandwich? No. No. It lasted like two months. I think they came back. They closed again. I don't know.
20:38Ben Mandelker: I feel like Jessel would be like, why would you ever want to defend a mama? It's like you're reading it upside down, Jessel.
20:49Ben Mandelker: She's probably very confused by Wawa just in general. What's it called? A Wawa? Isn't that like when I asked Povet for something to drink, Wawa?
21:01Ronnie Karam: I can't with Levi and the constant Wawa. It's a sandwich shop. So Jessel's like, well, someone needs to give Daisy a reality check. and he's like, well anyway, what's going on with you? House poverty?
21:18Ben Mandelker: Oh my god. It's just like a very bizarre environment right now with us. I just realized the other day he's put all these Playgirl centerfolds all over the closet. It's crazy. How did I never notice that before?

It's crazy. It's like taking Countess Luanne's statement necklaces and just like times a hundred. Like, oh really? You're the OG? I've got a neck piece so large I can't move from this chair. She's just like shackled to the chair.
25:32Ben Mandelker: She looks like she's wearing portals to 12 different dimensions. And to throw me. So basically, Jessel describes their daily life, which is, he takes the kids to school. That's right, Tom Cruise's kids' school. And I'm on my work halls and he's in his office and I'm doing my thing and we talk about the kids. like he puts the kids to bed and we have dinner or whatever and he'll be on his laptop and I'm watching television and he just goes to bed.
25:58Ronnie Karam: Um, yeah. It sounds like marriage to me. What's the problem? It's like, I low-key, I think that he hates me. What? Called it. I mean, listen.
26:10Ben Mandelker: It's right there. It's right there on the page.
26:12Ronnie Karam: Sometimes just follow your instincts, you know?
26:15Ben Mandelker: So Sai has this really... I'm so sorry to do this.
26:19Ronnie Karam: Hey Q, are you back there? QQ. Someone, could you ask Q to bring my jacket from backstage? It's the brown jacket. I'm literally freezing. I'm so sorry. Do you want my flannel? No. Oh, you're so sweet. No, thank you. Oh, I love you. Look, feel my hands.
26:38Ben Mandelker: Povet would never for Jessel. He wouldn't even give me the flannel when I was cold and performing in Philadelphia. So funny.
26:47Ronnie Karam: so the producer asked Jessel do you think you're in love with Povet though and she's like
26:52Ben Mandelker: hmm
26:55Ronnie Karam: I think so
26:59Ben Mandelker: who does Povet love more Jessel or a banh mi he found on the Lower East Side he's like banh mi, banh mi all day banh mi
27:06Ronnie Karam: yeah but that's also like an unfair question I feel like when you've been like do you mean right now in this situation am I hungry you know? No. It makes a difference.
27:18Ben Mandelker: No. No. Am I hungry? Am I, by the way, we appreciate... Am I dating a man
27:22Ronnie Karam: that would appreciate a sandwich more than me? Yeah. Yeah.
27:26Ben Mandelker: Yeah. We do appreciate the sacrifice you guys made by coming here instead of watching the second to last episode for Carmella on Orange County. Predicted. Predicted. Spoiler alert.
27:42Ronnie Karam: Or the whole show in general. I'm really going through a lot right now.
27:46Ben Mandelker: It was just like a lot. It was a lot right now with Danny.
27:52Ronnie Karam: So basically, recap of this recap. Jessel and Pauvin hate each other. So I get it. So Aaron is on the street now. Going to Carol's car, which you don't really understand why at first, we find out that Carol drank too much at Aaron's party. Which, first of all, who drives to the Upper West Side?
28:13Ben Mandelker: I know.
28:14Ronnie Karam: You live in New York City but what are you doing? I'm going to take the Bronco I was friends with him too
28:28Ronnie Karam: I mean I don't know who he is I thought it was Orange Juice
28:33Ben Mandelker: I know Carol's like
28:35Ronnie Karam: I'm of the people I'm hip and I'm cool but I won't go on the subway Carol so she parks in front of Erin's place and she puts one of her fucking traffic cones on top of the car what does that even do when you're in a neighborhood you don't even know this neighborhood stop put your traffic cones away and how do cops get the rest of us for every little thing and Carol's walking around stealing traffic cones and putting them on tops of cars and just leaving them on the upper west side if you put a cone on top of your car it means your car's at a birthday party I don't want to talk about it my car is named Bronco Kennedy
29:20Ronnie Karam: so Aaron's driving sorry Bronco Kennedy that's better Bronco Kennedy
29:28Ben Mandelker: you know I don't always feel bad for Aaron but I actually generally felt bad for her driving that Bronco down to Carol's place because it's already hard enough to drive in New York City. And there, like, the fabric is, like, sagging down on her. The windows aren't working. You know, it's probably just, like, some weird, like, you know, wannabe hip, like, Gen Z thing playing on the stereo. And Aaron's like, oh my god, I'm gonna die today. I felt for her.
29:56Ronnie Karam: Especially when she's in an apartment that Jessel was like, this apartment is so disgusting and old. And then she gets to go to Carol's car the next day. It's like, oh shit. I can't say anything about this now. I just got mad at Jessel. So she puts the, she's like, why the fuck is there a traffic car on the car? I mean, I get. So now we go to Haley's house and Haley's such a fucking weirdo. And I don't think she's faking it at all. I think she's literally just a fucking weirdo. So she's there with her assistant, her house manager, and she's like, you know what I need to do? And it's like, I called management for the apartment company but they still have access to my private cameras and I thought what is a sliver?
30:45Ronnie Karam: Who has private cameras? What is a security department looking at your apartment? It's the front of the apartment. I know.
30:55Ben Mandelker: She really does live like the John Gosselin thing is an active scandal that's happening right now. The last thing I need are the paps taking a look at me, Haley Glassman, Mistress of America. Okay, are you... I'm giving you my... I'm giving you the flannel. Now I'm just moving my leg to the other
31:14Ronnie Karam: side under my ass. Oh, they put it right there?
31:17Ben Mandelker: Where is it? Oh, Q! Everyone, this is Q.
31:22Ronnie Karam: Ah, Q! Thank you, Q. I just wanted an excuse to say, hi, Q. He's so cute. He's hot.
31:32Ben Mandelker: And I have a compliment. Here's a raincoat.
31:36Ronnie Karam: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Q. God, what a
31:40Ben Mandelker: man. It is very hailey glass man to put on a jacket in the middle of a
31:44Ronnie Karam: blood. I know. This isn't subtle either. It's like a giant jacket. Okay, yeah. So, anyway.
31:52Ben Mandelker: Now that we have jackets, we can pretend we're in Carl's car. Okay, hold on one second.
32:03Ronnie Karam: I don't want to have a lot of fun.
32:13Ronnie Karam: Maya, we get new ceilings, but they don't sell them anymore. Hold on.
32:26Ronnie Karam: Oh, God. She got yours, too. I love it.
32:30Ben Mandelker: And they say Angie is the queen of prop comedy. By the way, for those who are merely just listening to the show, what you missed is that I draped a raincoat over Ronnie's head and he pretended he was driving a car. So, you know, pretty natural stuff.
32:46Ronnie Karam: I think anyone who listens to this show is pretty used to the fast-forward buttons. I know. They're coming back now. Butterball! Okay, so... I paid to skip this shit. What is this happening? What's happening?
33:01Ben Mandelker: Listen, I love Butterball, and I will be making a Butterball turkey in about three weeks. That's not even an ad. That's just my heart. So now, Aaron and Carol, after they have now parked their car, they go, they sit on a bench in the park, and Carol's like,
33:19Ronnie Karam: I had a really great time at your party. Oh my god, when Harry Styles started playing, I was like, yes, queen, yes. Was that Lindsay Spirograph playing at your party? What a motion. Yes, you're very TikTok aware, Carol. Thank you. Yeah, well, it was just so weird because Cy wasn't being very nice. Okay, we know you don't like Cy because she brought up the Epstein list once. You're getting off pretty easy.
33:52Ben Mandelker: She is, especially because this is the way Carol tells the story.
33:56Ronnie Karam: God, Cy was out of control. She was frothing at the mouth and she was screaming. She was a lunatic.
34:03Ben Mandelker: And then you cut to Sai with a jacked up leg being like, Carol, Carol, Carol.
34:09Ronnie Karam: She was out of control. I mean, listen, when you are friends with someone in jail for helping with a sex trafficking ring with minors and you're complaining about people's manners, like, I don't like people with bad manners. Really? So, Aaron's like, yeah, I remember when she was saying that and she just thought it was not my energy. And then Abe complained about taking my kids. No, not Abe. It's me. It's Carol. Carol time. That's like the meanest thing that anyone's like ever. It was so mean. I am not playing that game So I said, peace out. That's not my vibe.
35:05Ben Mandelker: Deuces.
35:10Ronnie Karam: Oh, God. Okay, so she's like, yeah. And then plus I had a couple of tequilas and that didn't help. And then I thought, bitch, I'm not your child. Why are you yelling at me? Don't speak to me that way.
35:26Ben Mandelker: While she is going through a horrible time and her leg literally fell off after you left the party.
35:33Ronnie Karam: Well, everyone says, don't mind size. Size like an onion. And if you just peel the onion, you know what you get? More layers of onion. One of the reasons why I'm hesitant to get closer to size is because I'm young and she's old and it's just weird. Oh, God, adults. the way she acts with me. It's like, okay, boomer. But like, I see the way she acts with her friends. Like, scream again.
36:05Ben Mandelker: Aaron, scream again. No, I mean, to be fair, we do cut to Cy being like,
36:09Ronnie Karam: if I had a dollar for as many holes I could shove it up and queef out of it and poop on your face, I would do it.
36:18Ronnie Karam: Besides just being Cy, I mean, what are you going to do? That's how Cy, that's how Cy, that's how Cy probably is in church. Like, Mother Mary, God, for me, God, for me, Mother Harry, for me, Holy Ghost, what the fuck ever?
36:30Ben Mandelker: Fuck this place.
36:31Ronnie Karam: What are those stairs? God, redo these. It's fucking cold in here. What is this fucking church? It's ridiculous.
36:38Ben Mandelker: Listen, you're preaching to the choir. I mean, Psy Army. So, Carol...
36:46Ben Mandelker: It's a slow-moving army. I support you. Broken legs. I support you.
36:51Ronnie Karam: We're coming. We're coming. You hear it coming. It's like the least secretive army of all time. They're like, oh shit, the army's coming. You hear it down the street. I'm going to get the guns. We're going to go in there. Hey. Don't let them see you. God damn it. Hey, hey, Aaron. I'm cold. Let's go get some pizza. Nothing bad will happen. Just a couple of girls sharing a slice of sauce. So they go. It's like Heather Dubrow. Whoa, I'm just one of the girls sharing a pizza with my homegirl Gina in New York City. Hello, I'm television's Heather Dubrow, and I'm here to teach you about Za.
37:41Ben Mandelker: The Z runs with P, and P is the first letter in poor. When you eat your Za, remember, hold the small part with this hand and the big part with this hand, and you take your first bite from the middle, like so. Congratulations. Then you put it down. Then you put it down on Wendy Malick's face.
38:05Ronnie Karam: Pizza. Or as we call it when we're with our homegirls, Porza. Gina, eat your Porza. Hold on.
38:16Ben Mandelker: Still me. My turn. The best part about pizza is you can throw it at people like Gina and Emily. Thank you.
38:28Ronnie Karam: I have one in my purse already. Oh, got it.
38:33Ben Mandelker: Oh, my God. If I had a famous line after the past 10 years, I would say it now.
38:39Ronnie Karam: I was never poor. Gina from Real Housewives of Orange County finally did it. She finally came up with a line I will never forget. I was never poor. I never lived in a casita
38:54Ben Mandelker: I never lived in a casita
38:58Ronnie Karam: So congratulations to her wherever she is to all the Gina heads out there while we're at it
39:04Ben Mandelker: we know where she is the casita
39:08Ronnie Karam: It's like a house but smaller So Carol's like well I'll tell you one thing I just can't get close to side because I like manners Saw! Okay, so 10 minutes later, they're walking down the street eating their saw.
39:26Ben Mandelker: It's not just 10 minutes later. We have a fade to black, and then 10 minutes later. I was like, did Carol die? What happened? They could have just done a cut to them getting pizza. We didn't need to go, guys, this happened 10 minutes later. Exactly. I was like, oh. That changes my entire eternal timeline.
39:44Ronnie Karam: 10 minutes later, they're walking down the street eating their saw. And I feel like one of us, honestly. You know it was. One of us was like, Epstein files!
40:00Ben Mandelker: It was right when Carol was trying to continue to build this brand for herself as being an energy person. She's like,
40:07Ronnie Karam: I'm an energy person. I love good energy. Epstein files! Wait, what did they say?
40:16Ben Mandelker: You want them to repeat it? and then this gives Erin the biggest lady boner because she goes right in that store and goes that was rude that was rude that was rude
40:25Ronnie Karam: that was like the meanest thing that was like the meanest thing that was rude
40:33Ben Mandelker: that was rude she was holding pizza that was rude
40:38Ronnie Karam: also not nice Epstein you're waving your finger for the wrong I mean look I'm not saying Carol was out there trafficking people herself I'm assuming not Jesus Christ at some point just say thank you just be like Countess Luanne I'm sure when people pass Countess Luanne they're like prison criminal thank you they know my music
41:07Ben Mandelker: Epstein files I have the entire cabinet
41:11Ronnie Karam: we were just talking about the golden life yesterday and Luanne's rewriting her history is hilarious for those of you who don't watch. She's like, yeah I was in Florida and I was arrested maliciously by a cop who was arresting multiple people with false accusations and actually that cop went to prison himself.
41:41Ben Mandelker: She's a regular civil rights leader that one. Can't we all just cabaret along? I mean, Carol, you know Luann. Just take a page from the book. By the way, should I just talk like Luann all the time? My voice is so much, it booms so much louder when I do Luann voice. This is me talking normally. And then when I talk like that, it's Luann. I fill up the entire room. I'll just talk like this. I'm just gonna have Elizabeth Holmes in and just drop my voice and just talk like this the rest of my life. Well, it's a hell of a lot easier than talking like this. I know. I'm not gonna do present tense, Luann.
42:11Ben Mandelker: It's too hard.
42:11Ronnie Karam: I sound like the guy in the Jinx.
42:14Ben Mandelker: I didn't kill my wife. I nailed him too.
42:18Ronnie Karam: Sound like I'm about to lead healthcare in this country. Okay, so... Or myself, really, after five minutes more of vaping nonstop. We're watching gramps. So Aaron's still telling off some random person in a store who does not even care. This is New York City. They're obscene files. What is she yelling at me for? I'm trying to buy some milk in here.
42:42Ben Mandelker: So now we go to Daisy's apartment. And this is the first time we meet Daisy's sister, Simona. Oh.
42:51Ronnie Karam: Instant icon.
42:52Ben Mandelker: Wow. Simona Army.
42:54Ronnie Karam: I'm telling you, it's the Leah McSweeney. This is one thing they stole from Leah McSweeney with the sister. Like the sister is just like. Yeah.
43:04Ben Mandelker: She sort of has like, she's like the New York version of Dina Manzo a little bit, you know? Yeah. And so she's there and Daisy can't stand her. We just can see, by the way, that Daisy's putting salad on the table. She's like, my fucking sister, my fucking sister, my fucking sister.
43:22Ronnie Karam: Daisy's kid is with his chest tutor. Oh, well, son, son, son. The chest tutor. It's almost like the ceilings haven't been popped in here. Very fancy. So she's like, you know what you should do, sister, Simona, whatever? You're new. I don't know your name yet. you should date the chess teacher. She's like, oh, you would date a teacher of chess? Like, disgusted.
43:51Ben Mandelker: How rude. Rude. And we find out very quickly that Simona used to be married to a rich guy, and now she has left the rich guy to date a hot, young firefighter. Oh, more importantly, a Cuban. Cuban. He's Cuban.
44:09Ronnie Karam: I can't believe she would leave her rich husband to date a Cuban firefighter. And at first I thought she meant like hot, you know, because I hear a Cuban firefighter, and my wiener's like, Monk, Monk. Let me out. Let me out. So I thought that's what she meant. But then she just kept saying, I mean, do you leave him for a Cuban firefighter? And then I started getting very, my penis and I both were like, how dare you? What are you trying to say? I was offended. it was a little borderline
44:40Ben Mandelker: it was I felt that way too I felt that way too at the first time I was like okay you know she's like painting a picture and then the second time I was like wait a second
44:48Ronnie Karam: I mean I do have a tendency to be extremely offensive but also extremely offended by everything so I was like is this me being like overly offensive but then as I thought about it I got more upset and now I'm just big man how dare you
45:02Ben Mandelker: so they're talking as they're setting up the table and basically they start talking about the fish market situation and Simona's like, so do you have a separate fish person that you go to? And Daisy's like, oh yeah. And I had a fight with Cy over this. And she goes, well, obviously.
45:23Ronnie Karam: There's one other thing that, while I'm on Daisy and her Cuban penis complaining, she said, what are you dating this Cuban firefighter for? you're 51 he's 31 you can't give him children what year do you think this is you don't have to give me a child at this point i can take a quarter and put it in a machine spit out you know like there's ways there's ways that we get the children don't tell a gay you're too old for children i'm 51 my friends are like give me a baby we raise him you know my friend michael's like double hearing aids hunched over like, you're doing great up there, kid, waving his cane in the air.
46:03Ronnie Karam: We're like, you're doing great. Tell me I can't have a baby. I'll have a goddamn baby when I want to. Yeah. Taking off my jacket. Yeah.
46:14Ben Mandelker: He heated himself up. He heated himself up. So, more important, I think it's more important, honestly, the more important issue is not, can she have a baby? It's, does she have a fishmonger? Does she have one? because they now talk about it.
46:31Ronnie Karam: Why would you leave a rich man with a perfect fishmonger for some Cuban man with a Cuban fishmonger?
46:38Ben Mandelker: So Daisy's like, you know what? Cy said I get my shrimp at Costco. She literally tells this to her sister, like, can you believe it? And Simona's like, that's what she said, Costco? I was like, yeah, that's what she said. And I said, Cy, I go to one part of Manhattan for my shrimp cocktail, and I go to another for my salmon. Like, really fancy there.
47:03Ronnie Karam: You're really fancy there, Daisy. So Eugene is also there, and he's just like, whoa. You know what? I'm fighting. I'm fighting with daisies, or I'm fighting with size. Like, whoa. That's a good husband right there, I feel like. This is one of the husbands I want, you know? And I don't really say that about any spouse, husband or wife, really, anywhere in life. I don't ever think, wow, that looks like a good idea. This guy I like. Everything that happens, he's like, oh. And he just backs away and eats a piece of appetizer.
47:38Ben Mandelker: Slimy shrimp cocktail, specifically.
47:40Ronnie Karam: That's a real man right there.
47:42Ben Mandelker: It's a real man. So yeah, so basically Daisy hounds her sister, and is like, date the chess teacher. And the sister's like, no. What part of midlife crisis says chess teacher? It's firefighter. Always firefighter.
47:55Ronnie Karam: Would it be better if it was Cuban chess? Commercials. Here comes one right now.
48:03Ben Mandelker: The new Hulu original series, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Orange County, is coming to Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus November 12th.
48:11Ronnie Karam: While competing on Dancing with the Stars in Southern California, Jen Affleck became friends with a different group of women with ties to the Mormon church, some more devout than others.
48:20Ben Mandelker: Now having moved to Orange County from Utah looking for a fresh start, she's brought these groups of women together for a sense of community.
48:28Ronnie Karam: But with each new revelation, the moral divides start pushing them to opposite directions and threaten to shatter the friendship she's hoping to create.
48:34Ben Mandelker: Can this sisterhood withstand the pressures of faith, secrets, and drama?

49:50Ronnie Karam: Everybody pedals something on these shows.
49:51Ben Mandelker: Skinny girl jeans, tuna fish, and tiling. Yeah.
49:55Ronnie Karam: But I feel like if you're a billionaire, I don't want you to pedal shit. Like, you're a billionaire. Fuck off. Buy something from me. You know? The other people need the money. You don't fucking need it.
50:07Ben Mandelker: I have to say, I actually don't even know what built is. What is built?
50:10Ronnie Karam: Well, of course, I looked it up and was like, should I sign up for this? I thought I was going to suck it. Is this something that's going to do with rent?
50:15Ben Mandelker: Is that like your favorite?
50:16Ronnie Karam: It's like a credit card company. Oh, God. Now we're going to fucking. It's a butterball. Butterball. I'm sorry. I'm just playing. I don't know why that's in my head today. Built is like a credit card company, but instead of regular just buying shit, you put your rent and your mortgage on it, and so you get points. Hey, guys, I really hate people peddling this shit. Why don't you ask me that? Do you get points for your stuff? And so it's so successful. Why are you peddling it to me? And why do they need a built stand-up comedy? You want to put your rent on credit? Come to Built Comedy.
50:49Ben Mandelker: I was going to say, I'm struggling to see the correlation between a service that lets you pay your rent and mortgage and comedy, but that's okay so they're having dinner I will say this though, I do think that Ankur's really cute he's just like, he reminds me of a balloon he's just like it's like bobbing, you know he's just sort of smiling, he's like an AI balloon all his answers are sort of sweet, but they're not really human. She's like, I'm just concerned that we're not going to match with this surrogate. He's like, cheer up. It'll be okay.
51:24Ronnie Karam: Yeah.
51:25Ben Mandelker: Aw. I see you feel bad right now. Would you like a beverage? That's okay. We can do something else. Would you like some more pizza? The pizza will make you feel better. Just like Bill's comedy shows.
51:39Ronnie Karam: You turn. You turn. You turn. You turn. He's very nice, but he is very plastic like that, and I don't trust it. She's like, I'm really worried. I got really bad news about my pregnancy. I don't know if we're going to be able to have kids. He's like, uh-huh. Everything will be okay, honey.
51:57Ben Mandelker: Also, now I know obviously the process of finding a surrogate is a whole fraught thing, et cetera, et cetera. But did anyone else have this thought when they were like, we just hope that she likes us? I'm like, you guys have a private island. She's going to like you. I was like, it's going to be a match. Don't worry.
52:15Ronnie Karam: I think it's just like some rich people shit that I don't get like I get that like the finding the I mean I've been I haven't been through the process I've been through the process just on the phone with my friends you know but I've been there for that part of it so I'm not saying anything about that but the rich people part of it is when she's like I mean we've just like auditioned so many surrogates I'm like what do they do like what do they have to do for you it's called
52:39Ben Mandelker: built comedy night. Built comedy night.
52:42Ronnie Karam: All right, give me your best 30.
52:44Ben Mandelker: Number 37, you're up. Do you do impersonations? Can you do the president? Okay, get on the mic.
52:49Ronnie Karam: She's like, but finally I found one that I like and she also likes me and she also likes Taco Bell. So fingers crossed. What? I'm getting a call from her right now. She likes a snack. I was like, wow, what are these auditions? That's one audition I haven't been to and I've been to a lot of auditions. I've done the sperm, well, I've considered the sperm donation thing. I mean, I've never gone into a clinic. I've just given it to people. That's why guys only get like$5 for that.
53:17Ben Mandelker: So now we go into a gala that's named after this very show. It's the Second Chance Rescue Gala. Yeah. And Jessel is there and she's pretty much me because there's all these dogs around. She's like, oh. Oh, this is nice. what am I doing here
53:38Ronnie Karam: do I have to pet it okay it's a party with dogs thank you
53:46Ben Mandelker: and she is so transparent she's like is Martha here because that's why I'm here
53:52Ronnie Karam: it's a good call though she's like is Martha here and Daisy's like well Martha was invited that's why we're here it's like a Martha invitation really Martha just pod you off no pun intended. She's like alright Daisy, you want to go private jet to my friend's private island? No, no. You can go to the dog rescue party though. God. God, Daisy.
54:14Ben Mandelker: And then I like when, you know, Jessel is really furious. She wants to get some face time with Martha and she's like, so where is Martha? And Daisy's like, oh well, she's literally with the king and the queen. Isn't that crazy? That's basically like I'm with the king and the queen right now. And Jessel's like, oh, well, I mean that's really cool. I mean, I can't stand them, but that's really cool. And Aaron's like, why? Why wouldn't you like these two heads of a monarchy?
54:40Ronnie Karam: They're famous. They're like totally famous. Why wouldn't you like them? She's like, because the king fucked Camilla and fucked over Diana. I'm like, well, finally Jessel. Finally Jessel's on to something good, you know?
54:55Ben Mandelker: I liked her summation. I did like her summation of the past 30 years of the royal family, which was quote, because he fucked Camilla and then Diana died and he's responsible for everything. That is the past 30 years.
55:09Ronnie Karam: I saw the Netflix show. It's the only way Jaisal knows any kind of history at all. Jaisal history. So they meet not only the cutest puppy, but the hottest guy. This is how to get the dogs adopted.
55:24Ben Mandelker: I thought you were going to say the hottest puppy.
55:26Ronnie Karam: The hottest puppy. The hottest puppy. Oh my god, thank god there were no ugly puppies here. It's like the Vanderpump Rescue. They're like, we'll save the dogs. But only the cute ones. I want you to go every shelter and get the cutest pure bread dog that Dorit has left behind.
55:45Ben Mandelker: Boys.
55:47Ronnie Karam: Make the rest into sandwiches. I don't care.
55:51Ben Mandelker: But yes, they're very smart. They have these hot ass guys walking around with the puppies looking for a calendar to shoot photos for. And so of course they're going to sell a lot of these dogs. know and so then I was calling the number on the bottom of the screen I was like Erica's phone rings she's like oh my god is that another sorry oh no it's Ronnie it's just a weird mix up so then Jessel so my favorite part of that this is why I love Jessel for everyone who's like Jessel is such an asshole what she was saying about Caroline the set was just so rude I'm like this is why we have her here is for this scene which is Jessel sing, hey, Daisy, what time is it?
56:29Ben Mandelker: What time is it, Daisy? Daisy, you know how to use your watch?
56:36Ronnie Karam: Oh, Daisy, sorry. Daisy, Daisy. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Daisy. I had a spinning beach ball. It's like, who? What? Where are we? Ramona?
56:45Ben Mandelker: What? You're like, did I call Erica?
56:47Ronnie Karam: All right, sorry. It's 7.03 fishmunker time.
56:50Ben Mandelker: Oh. Oh, shh. Oh, shit. I've got to go. Erica's having a birthday party dinner. So what? And Jessica just stares at her like, so think about that.
57:06Ronnie Karam: Daisy does my favorite real housewives thing. Vicky does it. Not my favorite housewife, but a lot of them do where they just open and close their lips. Ben calls it the invisible straw where you're like, what? Shannon does it like a
57:22Ben Mandelker: It's not invisible straw, it's when you're trying to do this with a bottle Oh I thought one day you said the invisible Oh no, there is that, because you are looking for a straw Sorry, there's actually two forms of it One is the invisible straw, which is like You're looking for the straw And one is the, you're pretending to blow into a This is the Shannon Bador Watch what happens when I remove the bottle I become Shannon Bador
57:46Ronnie Karam: But Daisy does more the Daisy does more of the kind of like the goldfish Vicky style where she's just like what what what what straw search her eyes and she's like what what what the party what what what do you mean what do you mean a birthday party it's like yeah it's a birthday dinner for Erica the billionaire you know her right like what what Erica's having a birthday party what what Erica's having a birthday Yeah.
58:14Ben Mandelker: Everyone's going to be there. I mean, even the king and queen, which I'm not looking forward to, but they'll be there.
58:20Ronnie Karam: But I even wished her a happy birthday. Like, I wished her a happy birthday. Why would she tell me this?
58:25Ben Mandelker: Oh, you did? Did you?
58:26Ronnie Karam: And she's having a party? Okay. Is it a party or is it a dinner? Which is it? Because if it's a dinner, there's only a certain amount of people who are going to be invited.
58:35Ben Mandelker: It's kind of both. It's a party, then dinner, then more party, and then we're going to a dinner party. So it's a little bit of everything.
58:45Ronnie Karam: I cannot believe that this woman, who I'd just berated during the entire trip, she just took me on for free, wouldn't invite me to her birthday. What? What?
59:00Ben Mandelker: Sorry. I'm going to go.
59:04Ronnie Karam: No. Have fun with the puppies. Good luck. Hope you're rescued.
59:15Ben Mandelker: Well, maybe you can go on to Positively Philadelphia. With the dogs.
59:23Ronnie Karam: So Daisy's like, yeah, you know, I was like on the phone the other day for like an hour with Erica about nonsense and nothing was mentioned about this birthday party. Like I'm good enough to gossip on the phone with, but I'm not good enough to invite to a, I mean, yeah. I'd gossip to a lamppost. I'm not paying for its dinner every time.
59:43Ben Mandelker: I do appreciate, this is a pretty, it's a nasty move by Erica, but I do like that she's doing kind of like a, like, oh, you've revealed some of yourself today, and I appreciate that, you know? Like, we've been sitting here being like, what's the deal with Erica? She's nice and all, but like, why is she on this cast? And it's like, oh, I see. You're playing the long game.
1:00:03Ronnie Karam: She's also an asshole to your face. She does it kind of like I do it, where I'm just smiling the whole time at you, and you're like, what just happened, you know? Because I have waiter face, you know, where waiter's like, hi, how are you? Oh, you don't like that steak? I'm so sorry. What can I do? And I go back to the kitchen. I'm like, cut fitness, a fucking asshole. Fuck them. So she has that face where Erica will stab you right in the stomach, but she's like, hmm. When Daisy's like, what about my popcorn ceiling? She's like, yeah, but we were only saying that because it's like really gross, you know, popcorn ceilings.
1:00:41Ben Mandelker: so Jessa leaves and Daisy has like it's so bad that Daisy has to go hang out with her sister and so she goes up to her sister who's with the fireman and then Daisy tells us this she goes I mean the fireman I mean she left a fancy bokeh doctor for this guy I mean how good could the dick be he's a Cuban firefighter I feel like I feel like I needed Jessa to come back and be like yeah so he's like a firefighter in 28
1:01:08Ronnie Karam: They literally check your hose for that job, I'm sure. They're like, you're hot, you're going to be a fireman, you're Cuban, get in here.
1:01:16Ben Mandelker: And then the best is that Daisy then sees Aaron and she's like, did you know that Erica's having a party tonight and we're not invited? And Aaron goes, I was invited.
1:01:29Ben Mandelker: Oh, Aaron got the invite.
1:01:31Ronnie Karam: Wait, you were invited? She's like, yeah, like so are you, right?
1:01:37Ben Mandelker: She was like, no, I can't believe I'm the only one that's not invited. Well, did you see who's supplying the fish for the party? That may be why.
1:01:46Ronnie Karam: But did she know we were together tonight at this party that Martha Stewart was invited to for a rescue dog? I just can't imagine that she wasn't invited. Erica's still, I mean, Aaron is smiling while she's like, I can't believe it. Daisy's like, yeah, you know, like I told her to come to this thing and she said, I can't because it's my birthday. So I figured like she was going to celebrate alone, but to know that she can't because she's having a party and not inviting me to a party.
1:02:14Ben Mandelker: My biggest fear is not being invited. My second biggest fear, the dick of a Cuban firefighter.
1:02:25Ronnie Karam: So now we go to Erica's birthday party. I was going to say that Erin
1:02:30Ben Mandelker: does do a nice thing which is that she's like, okay, I'll stay at this non-Martha Stewarted, non-celebrity rescue dog charity with you instead of going to a billionaire wives party all throughout Manhattan. She stays with Daisy the whole night. I did? Yeah, Erin stayed back. Wow, what a good person.
1:02:50Ronnie Karam: She wasn't invited, she said.
1:02:53Ben Mandelker: For those listening at home, someone in the audience just said she wasn't invited. This is why it's good to have a live audience. Yeah.
1:02:58Ronnie Karam: Broader context. I think if Erin wasn't invited, we would be here. She'd be like, oh my God, that's like the meanest thing that I literally the meanest. Really?
1:03:07Ben Mandelker: Built?
1:03:10Ronnie Karam: I built so much. Homegirl. Do you remember her company? Homegirl. Yeah, what happened to that? I rehabbed buildings. Okay. Sorry. The point is we go to Erica's birthday party. Erica maybe shows a tiny bit of promise but we see how fun she is because this birthday party lasts five seconds in a flashback and that's all we see. Like Erica's party wow at the end. That was Erica.
1:03:36Ben Mandelker: Well, we did get to see Carol be like,
1:03:38Ronnie Karam: Hey, someone film me for a TikTok challenge.
1:03:44Ben Mandelker: I made that up. She didn't do it. We just know that she did it off camera.
1:03:47Ronnie Karam: This is crazy. We're in a moving vehicle with a pole that goes floor to ceiling.
1:03:56Ronnie Karam: Just girls being girls. So back to the gala. They just show dogs yawning, which, I mean, we get it. And Jaisal, now we go to the park, and Jaisal is with her mom and her sons. They're like, ah! It's like, stop doing that. Stop climbing the jungle gym like that. I don't like that. So stressful. Meanwhile, her kids are pushing other kids off of there, beating them up. Jaisal's like, this is so difficult, mother.
1:04:29Ben Mandelker: So Jaisal and her mom sit down, and Jaisal's like, the good news is, she's going to go talk to her mom about her issues with Povet, but the bad news is that as we learn from family karma this can happen, the moms like the in-law better. They like the one that's married to one. What's the phrase? Why can't I think of the right phrase?
1:04:49Ronnie Karam: As we know from family karma, as we know from life. Mom's not always going to take your side. Hey, that guy beat me up at school, stopping a pussy.
1:05:02Ben Mandelker: So basically Jessel's like
1:05:04Ronnie Karam: you guys are like oh my god
1:05:08Ben Mandelker: Jessel's basically like I'm just like really miserable mom I just like have a lot on my mind and like Pavit he's like doesn't talk to me we don't talk we don't communicate I walk in he goes into a different room he doesn't even say hi to me anymore he just puts on Barbra Streisand and just jams out to himself and the mom's like
1:05:29Ronnie Karam: it's because you're difficult I'm on Pavit's side he's like mother I don't like that you're insinuating I'm not insinuating anything I'm on Povet's side you're a monster I would appreciate some support be less of a monster
1:05:43Ben Mandelker: great talk mother she's like the other day Povet said how are you and you went to the other room you're a bitch
1:05:53Ronnie Karam: she's like well mom I just feel like if I stop what I'm doing and I sort of like stop the wheels turning the entire ship sinks like the Titanic I mean, look how I'm taking care of these kids. One kid's just like throwing another kid off the top of the sled.
1:06:09Ben Mandelker: I'm just kidding. So now we go to Anchor's. I'm sure she's great. It's time for Anchor's Built Comedy Event. So from the people who brought you ways to pay for your mortgage and your rent comes a comedy event in a non-comedy venue that's actually a pizzeria that has no comedians in it. So enjoy, everyone.
1:06:28Ronnie Karam: And it's not even a regular pizzeria. It's like a really nice pizzeria. And it's so popular that people get in line at 4 a.m. to eat the pizza. And so I hired TASC rabbits to stand in line for me all day. And then we got to eat in there. It's like, fuck off. Stand-up comedians are making like$5. The stand-up comedians working this show are like, please give me the soup, anything. Yeah, sorry. You guys are going to have to stand in line until 4 in the morning. But if she did that to the stand to all the poor people, she's like, wait for the film comedy show until four in the morning.
1:07:08Ben Mandelker: That TaskRabbit was at her birthday party, though.
1:07:16Ben Mandelker: So it was Carol.
1:07:17Ronnie Karam: I like being part of the gig economy.
1:07:23Ben Mandelker: So everyone's arriving.
1:07:25Ronnie Karam: King, king, king, king, king, king, king, king, king, king, king, king. nine to five what a way to make a living it's me and Dolly one of the girls not my vibe
1:07:38Ben Mandelker: so people arrive at this at this pizza at this fancy pizza place to see comedy and Daisy Daisy shows up Devin's there too by the way our new friend of and Daisy is
1:07:52Ronnie Karam: Daisy's invited to like the fundraiser like well not fundraiser but like advertisement thing you know right But she does get her revenge by not bringing Martha, because you know that's the only reason Daisy's invited.
1:08:02Ben Mandelker: Yeah. So she's like, you know, I don't think Cy and I have the same version of what a good friend is. You know, I'm coming over here because I want answers. I want to know why she tried to humiliate me, and why doesn't she ever defend me, okay? I just feel completely abandoned as a friend. I'm like, because the person she would have to defend you against would be herself. That doesn't make any sense. Like, you're the one who started up with Cy.
1:08:27Ronnie Karam: Why doesn't she defend me against myself calling out her fish manga?
1:08:32Ben Mandelker: So weird. No, it doesn't make any sense.
1:08:35Ronnie Karam: That's funny. I never thought of it like that. The shadows are so dumb. I just get so involved. I followed. I'm like, wow. Whose side am I on? So Carol's like, well, you know, she had a birthday party last night. And we were dancing on a pole. You were at the gala though, right? How was that? and Erica's like, oh yeah, how was your gala with the rescue dogs?
1:09:00Ben Mandelker: I feel like we're underselling just how much they talked about the birthday party before they acknowledged Daisy was even there.
1:09:08Ronnie Karam: It was like, oh man, I was lit last night. That was crazy, right? And so I was like, oh my God, that was the best time I ever had in my entire life.
1:09:18Ben Mandelker: And they're just going on and on and on and Daisy's sitting there like her hands in her pockets like, okay, all right, I'm right here. I'm right here
1:09:28Ronnie Karam: I was first slipping like what what is this
1:09:31Ben Mandelker: what is this party
1:09:35Ronnie Karam: so Dave's like oh yeah it was good my fundraiser was good you know they raised a lot of money for animals and you know I was happy Erica's like amazing
1:09:45Ben Mandelker: amazing I'm so happy for that adorable charity of yours that I could have bought out with just what's in my pocket right now
1:09:57Ronnie Karam: amazing so Daisy's like who talks about a birthday party right in front of somebody that they didn't invite to the birthday, somebody that doesn't like you what are you not what are you not getting apologize for being mean about her billionaire husband's private island that he didn't fly you coats to that's what I have to do I'm expecting an apology for her to apologize to me and my billionaire husband
1:10:23Ben Mandelker: don't bite the private island that fed you. That's what I say. I mean, it did feed me leftover lunch, probably.
1:10:33Ben Mandelker: So, Sai shows up and now they, out of nowhere, they're like, oh, guess what, America? This is a showdown. It's like, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Sai and Daisy. So, Sai's like, I haven't seen
1:10:42Ronnie Karam: Daisy since Abe's party and she hasn't reached out, that cut fitness. And I'm nervous because I don't know which Daisy I'm gonna get. I'm in a moment in my life where I'm just so vulnerable. I'm so raw.
1:10:59Ben Mandelker: if she's not ready to say sorry I don't know where we go from here but I'll tell you one place we won't be going to her fishmonger
1:11:07Ronnie Karam: and that brings us to the end of Real Housewives of New York City
