29.242 - 40.833 Ben Mandelker

Hello, and welcome to Watch What Crap Is, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. I'm Ben Mandelker, and joining me today on the first day of December, it's Ronnie Karam. Hi, Ronnie. How's it going?

0

40.973 - 43.555 Unknown

Well, hello, Benoons. How you doing, buddy?

0

44.657 - 51.083 Ben Mandelker

I'm feeling refreshed and wonderful after taking a very long Thanksgiving weekend. How are you doing?

51.383 - 64.272 Unknown

Good. I'm back in Texas, so it's good because look who is behind me. On the couch, it's Bueller sleeping. Having his little nice piglet life back there.

64.292 - 89.202 Ben Mandelker

Look at the glorious Bueller. Living the life. Well, I'm sorry that you're in Texas because that means that tomorrow I'm going on Jeff Lewis for the first time without Ronnie because Ronnie's in Texas. I know. So I know it's crazy. But Julia Cunningham, it looks like, will be on with me. And we love, love, love, love Julia. So I'm looking forward to that. Go listen to Jeff Lewis tomorrow.

89.182 - 101.858 Unknown

Also, I was on Morally Corrupt with Ms. Rachel Lindsay last week, so go check that out. I forgot to plug it on the show, but that was a really fun episode. Yeah, she's a good chick. So go listen to that over on her podcast, Morally Corrupt, okay?

102.732 - 119.526 Ben Mandelker

Yeah, and I don't know, we're doing Amazon Live today and we also are doing Crappy Hour. So we have a whole bunch of stuff that's happening later this afternoon that's gonna be live, live, live, live, live. So come join us for all of those things. I think there was something else.

Chapter 2: How does Stacey defend herself against accusations?

376.31 - 393.088 Ben Mandelker

They're just like they are just they're just like the worst right now. And what's so frustrating is that they're bringing around the hottest guys ever to this show. And it's like, why can we can we get like someone who brings hot guys who's actually interesting to watch? Why? Like, why do we have to have these to be our ambassadors?

0

393.148 - 400.275 Ben Mandelker

Because it's like we know if we say, OK, get rid of Kierna and Angel, we lose Bobby and Kierna's brother. That's just not fair to us.

0

400.255 - 406.084 Unknown

Oh, my God, Kierna's brother. Good Lord. I wasn't expecting that. Like, happy Thanksgiving to me.

0

406.145 - 423.192 Ben Mandelker

We saw him last season in a polo shirt, and he was hot then. And then this time he was like, oh, I want to show America what I'm really working with. I was like, oh, my goodness. Goodness gracious, Kierna's brother. He doesn't even have a name. He's just Kierna's brother. Wow. Wow.

0

423.172 - 443.71 Unknown

Yeah, what a handsome feller. So, yeah, she's screaming, where's Timo? Where's Timo? And Stacey's like, here you go, acting a fool. She goes, oh, really? And that's a great defense mechanism. Well, what? And someone's like, well, someone here told Chris Tia, who, you know, look, I like Tia on the show.

443.73 - 463.489 Unknown

She was a great addition and I'm never going to not like her, but I'm not liking her jumping on the bandwagon. Tia's coming a little too hard for Stacey. And I don't like it because especially later in the show where they all have the mean girls like gang up, like they're like, let's have a girl, let's have a meeting just to talk shit about Stacey. And Tia's there, you know,

464.414 - 468.542 Unknown

lisping away with them. And I just don't, I don't like it. It's not a good look for you.

468.562 - 495.583 Ben Mandelker

I know, it makes me very upset that Tia is on the wrong side with this one. You know, Tia's just so wonderful, but that is the mean girl side. And... It's the losing side, I would like to also add. So Stacey, so Tia's like, somebody here told Chris about what happened. And Stacey's like, well, I don't talk to Chris. Giselle's like, yeah, this one doesn't know girl code.

495.623 - 498.747 Ben Mandelker

She's not to be trusted around husbands or children or anybody else.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of the 'girl code' debate?

736.17 - 762.152 Unknown

Yeah, and Karen's one of the messiest people on this show. Are we forgetting? I like that Karen has gone to jail for the DUI, and everyone has elevated her to sainthood now. It's crazy. It's still Karen. Come on now. So Stacey's like, well, why don't we call the person accusing me of a lie then? And Wendy's like, oh, who can call Quiff? You know Quiff, don't you? Dun, dun, dun. Whoosh.

0

762.412 - 773.806 Unknown

Hoverboard. It's me, Thatha. I'm the hoverboard. Sharice just hoverboards in from the sky. And it's like, yeah, me, Thawith. Anybody need me to be messy? Is that a pun?

0

774.627 - 794.042 Ben Mandelker

Is that a pun? Yeah. the scene last week. And I remember like over the course of the week, I was like, oh, we forgot to call out that Sharice was in the scene. And then I thought, do we have to call it every single time Sharice shows up? We don't have to, but then guess what? Sharice plays a role. She's like, guess what? I am the, I am the eldest wag in the room.

0

794.142 - 797.226 Ben Mandelker

So I have all the phone numbers of all the football players.

0

797.246 - 816.028 Unknown

The eldest wag of all the wags. So Sharice calls, she's like, I'll call quiz. So she calls him. And, um, actually that's kind of more windy. Therese is more like this. You're like, I'll call Chris right now. So she does. And it rings and rings. And she's like, hi, Chris. This is Therese. Is that a pun?

816.088 - 820.314 Ronnie Karam

And he's like, what can I do for you, Therese?

820.534 - 831.128 Ben Mandelker

The cell phone is like the size of a Tic Tac in his hand. He's like, hello there. So she's like, okay, Chris.

831.108 - 856.407 Ronnie Karam

i'm just imagining he's just like you're right i was holding it like this for chris he'd be like hello there it's like those mini microphones people use he's like i'm good what is happening i smell the blood of a housewife's fight what can i do for you

856.387 - 877.535 Ben Mandelker

Okay, Chris, I'm good. I'm actually filming, which I know. Thank you very much. And we had a situation where Cookie was made to look bad. And I know you and Cookie are very good friends. And I just want to know if Stacey communicated with you about a conversation that was had about Monique. That's it. Yes and no, Chris. Yes and no. So he pauses, or at least they make it seem like he pauses.

Chapter 4: How does Giselle react to Stacey's presence at the party?

1118.715 - 1123.562 Unknown

Yeah. I sold a camel sweater today. Fuck me in every orifice.

0

1123.603 - 1124.584 Ben Mandelker

Let's go.

0

1125.948 - 1151.955 Ben Mandelker

yeah well then yeah so i mean i kind of feel like sort of with the logic of like this is not really how i believe what i think but part of me feels like if you're going to use the logic that these women are using then what sharice what were you and stacy doing that going out with two married men in the first place you know like i think they were just talking to people at the bar right because she just said they were with like i mean i'm assuming that they were just people they were talking to at a bar

0

1152.796 - 1160.095 Ben Mandelker

Now, that being said, I do fully believe that the Stacey who's on camera is very different than the one when the cameras are off. And I love that for her.

0

1161.479 - 1166.873 Unknown

It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Krappens commercial.

1169.806 - 1185.823 Ben Mandelker

So Wendy is like, Stacey is talking to Wendy to be like, can you get me together and everything? And Wendy's like, oh, she's like, oh girl, they had you up on the ropes, girl. Like you were up on the ropes. She goes, oh my God, put Vaseline on my eyes. Please do this. Oh wow, you were really on the ropes.

1186.107 - 1203.917 Unknown

Put it on my knuckles. And so, you know, then we cut back to Greg and Greg's like, no one spoke to me, everybody. I got a little jealous. And Jazzy's like, well, we spoke to you. We said, there's Greg, remember? And then we just decided to keep arguing. So sorry about that, but we are working. Okay. So then Vivian.

1204.317 - 1221.784 Ben Mandelker

I wonder how Greg feels, by the way, going to this party. And it's like, you know, the men always have to stand by the side and watch their women fight. And it's just like, Greg? And then you got Darius and Bobby. He's like flanked. I mean, I kind of feel like Greg has the energy of someone. He sort of has that, like,

1221.764 - 1235.536 Ben Mandelker

Napoleon energy of someone who's trying to exert power on his women because he feels like inadequate in other parts of his life. And I can't imagine that standing between two giant football players made him feel any better about himself.

Chapter 5: What happens during the confrontation between Stacey and Kierna?

1509.353 - 1511.275 Unknown

I said it. I did that.

0

1512.048 - 1536.958 Ben Mandelker

wendy's like she wants to have a problem and so now wendy and stacy are both saying like giselle said it and then we see footage of giselle saying it so wendy's like okay instead of you coming for giselle it's me that you want to come for and angel's like well me and giselle had a conversation and this is just another example of you being dismissive angel you literally walked into a conversation and put yourself you you did a self-fulfilling prophecy

0

1536.938 - 1542.226 Ben Mandelker

You went into a conversation, put yourself in a position where she would dismiss you, and then you got mad that she dismissed you.

0

1543.168 - 1565.441 Unknown

Yeah. You came up with a court case that was dismissed. You came up with a dismissible case. Okay. If you don't want to be dismissed, then stop being dismissible. Get some evidence, ma'am. So Wendy's like, no, this isn't another example of you falling flat. And just like, oh, Wendy's coming out. And so Angel's like, well, I'm done. Thank you. I don't choose to engage. You started it.

0

1565.642 - 1567.484 Unknown

You literally chose to engage.

1568.685 - 1574.172 Ben Mandelker

I know. Wendy's like, you're saying no thank you as if we want you here, girl. And she goes, it's fine.

1574.413 - 1576.155 Unknown

Kierna's like, are we still having the same chat?

1576.175 - 1587.229 Ben Mandelker

Oh, I know, Kierna, you're not the one who's going to be complaining about the same storylines coming up again. Should we go back to two seasons ago where you spent an entire season talking about how no one paid attention to you while you had diarrhea?

1587.614 - 1601.217 Unknown

Oh, listen up, Scarface. So she's like, here comes her Siamese twin. Get on the piggyback. Get on her back. And I only say Scarface because I don't see a scar. So I don't know where that thing is, but I still haven't seen it. No, Scarface. Even more damning. Listen up, Al Pacino.

Chapter 6: How do the housewives react to the shrimp cocktail spread?

1844.975 - 1864.927 Unknown

not maybe, is facing serious shelter. So Stacey's like, well, I pushed the button already. Well, I'm pushing it too. I'm pushing the button. No, I'm pushing the button. No, I'm pushing the button. I'm pushing it. I'm pushing it. I'm pushing it. So Giselle's like, I don't like what I've heard and I need to marinate on it. Okay.

0

1866.009 - 1871.117 Ben Mandelker

So you could also just stop talking about it and let Stacey do her own thing at the party and you can marinate later tonight, but that's fine.

0

1871.266 - 1888.161 Unknown

Yeah. So Stacey and Jazzy get in the elevator and leave. And meanwhile, Angel goes to Bobby, who's just like sitting there being hot, you know, and she's like, well, I told you I was going to say something to her. And she was nasty and she was dismissive. She was not nasty. She was dismissive. But I mean.

0

1889.086 - 1903.069 Ben Mandelker

She was not nasty. She was dismissive with, and we, according to Ben and Ronnie say, you know, we rule in favor of the dismissive. Yeah. I love that. We dismiss you and we are, we sustain the dismissiveness. Yeah. Sustained. Exactly.

0

1903.169 - 1912.384 Unknown

So Bobby goes, Bobby goes, water off the duck back, mama. I'm sorry. Was that dismissive? That was dismissive.

1912.585 - 1924.308 Ben Mandelker

That's dismissive. He's kind of like, you need to stop. He's like, remember what I told you last episode when I crossed my legs for America? You need to just chill out while I'm saying it to you again. Water off a duck's back.

1924.328 - 1948.658 Unknown

Yeah, so now they're doing more cheers to Giselle's 10 million. And then it's time to catch up with the ladies. The party's over. So Stacey is with... Arabella, we're going to make some pizza. She's like, do you want pepperoni or would you like my favorite flavor? You are alone enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody. God, I love that topping.

1950.207 - 1970.677 Ben Mandelker

I was so proud of you, baby. You did so well. The first race that you won, how did you feel? Like, did you know that you were that much ahead of the other people? She's like, yeah. Sure did. So then Timo joins them, and Arabella's like, I literally tried my hardest, but we were only a second away. Oh, that's too bad. It's so funny.

1970.697 - 1977.227 Ben Mandelker

I remember when I was your age, I always won all of my swim meets. Oh, well. Okay, Timo, welcome back to the pizza party.

Chapter 7: What are the dynamics between Stacey and the other housewives?

2257.602 - 2290.647 Unknown

Commercials, here comes one right now. so now sheila and ashley she's like i'm so proud of you that it's called master musicianship mummy now please retire to the other room so you and mummy's wig can talk about her terrible useless man like okay so mummy will you be singing me a song what type of song i don't know a song for the piano man that's who i am mummy oh okay okay

0

2304.905 - 2313.255 Ben Mandelker

Before you do that, I'd like to dedicate this moment from Mozart to you. Are you ready for a lovely bit of classical music?

0
0

2314.316 - 2314.997 Ben Mandelker

All right.

2317.053 - 2342.471 Unknown

Okay, we're going outside now. So they go out and Sheila's like, okay, so I'm so proud of you, honey. Oh, wow. Look at your house. Everything looks so good. Please don't cut me off. Like, Sheila always comes over with that voice like... Please, honey, please. I'll do whatever you want, honey. Your piano sounds great. The kids are doing great. Your house is so clean. The yard looks so nice.

2342.571 - 2344.594 Unknown

Please don't cut me off.

2345.395 - 2345.716 Ben Mandelker

I know.

2346.237 - 2354.289 Unknown

And now she's like, well, I was talking to Uncle Lump the other day. And like, no, Uncle Lump was like, you just got to let Josh go. And so I let Josh go.

Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude with Stacey's reflections?

0

2816.367 - 2836.637 Unknown

Yeah, we're all not home making things for our like little charcuterie things when the girls come over. But there's a better way to do it. Like let's have some art in this. You know what I mean? Go to the buffet section and like get little containers of things and then place them beautifully. Why are you just unwrapping cookies from the store and throwing them on a dish? That's –

0

2837.596 - 2854.871 Ben Mandelker

Yeah. Like we see you, this is a Bravo audience. You're going to have to like really up your game here. Okay. Go to whole foods. Like stop, stop going to Albertsons for this. You need to go to like something like nicer, go to whole foods, go to like, if you have a, I don't know what the nice ones are out there in Potomac, but go there, have them just do it for you.

0

2855.051 - 2867.502 Ben Mandelker

But like you're a wag and you're on Bravo. Like you have to do better than this spread. I'm sorry, angel. And this has nothing to do with my feelings about you as a cast member, but it doesn't help relatively low. It doesn't help though. Yeah. It doesn't help.

0

2867.482 - 2889.585 Unknown

So Angel's like, I have an announcement, everybody. I think I found the house that I'm going to buy. Wow. Isn't that great? Everyone's like, oh, great. Well, rich lady's getting a house. Congratulations. And she's like, oh, it's so move-in ready. And that's a big difference. Yeah. It has nine bedrooms. Nine. It's a little big, but we can deal with that. God. Big house. I have a filter room.

2890.266 - 2893.489 Unknown

It's just a big room full of Vaseline. I just take all my pictures in there.

2895.055 - 2902.065 Ben Mandelker

We're going to put in each bedroom, we're going to put a W, A, or a G. So it'll say wag, wag, wag, because there's nine bedrooms. So that's nine letters. It's going to be great.

2903.226 - 2917.806 Unknown

And she's like, someone asked where her kids are at. And she's like, hold on. Let me get my binoculars. Oh, it's just that this property is just so vast. Hold on. Let me see if I can see them. Oh, I can't see them. Oh, stop acting like you live in Yellowstone National Park, for Christ's sake.

2917.988 - 2929.741 Ben Mandelker

I know. Pull your binoculars and try to find Bobby down by the river. She just wants to, like, she wants to just brag again that she lives by the river. He must be down by the river, which we all care about. I'm by the river, guys.
