So join us for that because we actually have a lot of fun doing those. So we always love seeing your faces there in the comments, etc. And then after that, we have Crappy Hour. It's our last Crappy Hour of... And we're going out with a bang. There is slated to be a special guest, but we always, we never want to jinx it in case things happen and they can't be there for whatever reason.

86.587 - 110.415 Ben Mandelker

But we do have a special guest and we're really excited. I personally am extraordinarily excited for this guest. And I think that you are also equally extraordinarily excited.

110.455 - 129.129 Ben Mandelker

This week, we did a trailer breakdown of Summer House, the trailer that everyone's been talking about. It features the return of the original theme song and Carl and Kyle fighting, which is exciting and rhyming. So that is what's going on bonus episode. Ronnie, we are here.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Marcus's feud with Kim?

129.149 - 130.931 Ben Mandelker

Vanderpump rules. What say you?

0

131.492 - 150.711 Ronnie Karam

What say you about Vanderpump rules? Loved it. Two weeks in. Even better than the first one. I liked it. I thought it was really funny. I mean, listen, when you've got someone getting a lap dance next to someone who's sobbing, I'm in. I mean, that's when I was like, okay, this show is speaking to me. This is all I need. A bunch of young dum-dums. I mean, the guy who's like a fucking...

0

150.691 - 152.76 Ronnie Karam

What is it? The secret?

0

Chapter 4: How does Chris feel about the new cast members?

152.861 - 158.727 Ronnie Karam

He brought up the secret. A manifestation coach, the guy who doesn't condition his hair. I mean, yes, I'm in. Yeah.

0

159.533 - 178.754 Ben Mandelker

I love it, too. I think it's actually really good. I actually have honestly have no complaints. I'm actually shocked at how easily I just segued into this new cast. I started watching the episode. It felt like old school Vanderpump Rules to me in terms of the way it looked, the pettiness, the silliness. I really have no issues with it whatsoever.

0

178.874 - 195.872 Ben Mandelker

And it makes me sad because I go online and I see people complaining. People, you've got to like get your priorities together because when the show, when last season on Vanderpump Rules, everyone complained and guess what? They got rid of the cast. Now there's a new cast and everyone complaining.

0

Chapter 5: What are the reactions to the Vanderpump Rules reboot?

196.553 - 210.988 Ben Mandelker

It's like you either complain, you complain about one or you complain about the other. Well, actually I shouldn't say that. I was going to say everyone has a right to complain about everything at all times. God knows I do. But like, I think that people should legitimately give this show a shot. I think it's, I think it's like very entertaining so far.

0

211.205 - 225.528 Ronnie Karam

But you know what is part of being in the Bravo audience? That's just that. That's just how it is. We're not grateful for fucking anything. All we do is complain. I mean, listen, and I'm the worst. My hobby is complaining. I love to complain. And you know, I watch you shows.

0

Chapter 6: How does the group discuss manifestation and its effects?

225.668 - 243.689 Ronnie Karam

I mean, I almost had a conniption fit talking about Salt Lake City today. because of things that I was complaining about, but I don't want those people to get fired. I love their show. Like even the people getting on my last fucking nerve, I understand that they're giving me a gift, you know, because I watch these shows because I like people to get on my nerves. I just like it.

0

244.049 - 261.622 Ronnie Karam

It gives me a chance to be judgmental and everything else. I don't know. It's like you have to see the grateful part too, but I do think it's just part of being the Bravo audience. We complain about everything. We don't like anything. If you only read what people's reactions were to shows, you'd be like, these shows are going to be canceled in two seconds.

0

261.723 - 266.76 Ronnie Karam

But ever since they came out, that's just how the Bravo audience is. We like to fight and we like to complain.

0

267.55 - 277.282 Ben Mandelker

Yeah, I get that. And the truth is, you know, I obviously famously complained right from the get-go about the Roni reboot and how I didn't like it, yada, yada, yada.

0

Chapter 7: What insights do the characters share about relationships?

277.642 - 290.217 Ben Mandelker

And I would contend that, you know, the reason why I complained about that was because that show did not go back to its roots. It tried to create new roots in a different kind of vibe, and that failed. Whereas this show, I think, actually...

0

290.197 - 314.787 Ben Mandelker

did go back to what the show was always about which is poor people working at a restaurant thinking that it's going to make them famous outside of reality fan stardom you know and i think that's that's what we want and what we need so i think that like the the reboot is doing good things um i also should mention that uh there was a vanderpump rules publicity party basically like bravo through a party for vanderpump rules on monday

0

314.767 - 328.131 Ben Mandelker

So invited all, all the usual suspects. So I was there, Courtney from two judgy girls, Kiki, Monique, Ceci for the Bravo docket, Ryan Bailey, all of us, you know, we're just a pack. So we went to serve. I'm so pissed.

0

328.151 - 335.965 Ronnie Karam

I'm still so pissed. I'm still so, to this day, I'm pissed. I'm missing so much stuff being in Texas and I'm sorry, but go ahead. Cause I'm happy for you.

0

336.299 - 353.463 Ben Mandelker

So it was fun, got to like, you know, I hadn't been to CERN forever. I forgot the joy that comes with trying to sit in those tiny little kindergarten seats they have where you sit and your knees are up to your eyeballs. Like, why do they have those chairs?

Chapter 8: How do the characters navigate their personal and work lives?

354.965 - 373.044 Ben Mandelker

Here are some of my takeaways. So there were tons of past apps. You cannot imagine. There were more little hors d'oeuvres going by than I've ever seen at a party. And like, look, we've both been to Sur. We know food is not the strong point. It's not even their weak point. It's their food's really bad there. It's not even a point.

0

373.345 - 375.79 Ronnie Karam

I'm surprised they even have it, to be honest.

0

375.972 - 397.382 Ben Mandelker

Can I tell you something? Their hors d'oeuvres were delicious. Every single one of them. I was like, that was delicious. That was delicious. I mean, they had crab cakes, you know, tuna tartare tacos, goat cheese balls, sliders, everything. I was like, whoa, something has happened here. And I'm actually not even comfortable with how good this food is tonight.

0

397.483 - 400.647 Ben Mandelker

Like, and we were all like, whoa, the food is good here tonight. So...

400.627 - 426.769 Ben Mandelker

chef joe stepped up his game i appreciate that um also so almost the entire new cast was there the only two people that were not there were the eyebrow cousins i don't know why they weren't there maybe they maybe they have a scandal brewing that nbc was like we're not going to put them in front of our content creators but everyone else was there oh i would have left anyway if my little mini brows wasn't there i love him yeah mini brows was not there so cute his little tiny butt and his little mini brows oh

427.205 - 451.542 Ben Mandelker

shane davis was there and he was wearing like sorry yeah shane davis shane davis was like a black shane davis was wearing like a black t-shirt but at some point he was like i'm gonna take the t-shirt off so we took it off and he was just like walking around like a white like tank top yeah shane davis that's why davis baby yeah shane shane davis the white tank top was like actually i don't know it actually

451.522 - 477.057 Ben Mandelker

like we all kind of agreed we're like kind of ruined something it just sort of was like not it wasn't as sexy as you think like yes we could see his arms but it kind of took away from his hotness i'm not gonna lie and then um i don't believe you and i love a bunch of like podcasters sitting around like shaming the hottest guy in the room it was just sort of being like whatever we have to he doesn't work with that that doesn't work for him

478.657 - 482.944 Ben Mandelker

We have to, otherwise we need to be able to chip away at the hot people.

483.685 - 488.774 Ronnie Karam

Hilaria Baldwin was there. Hilaria Baldwin, what the hell is she doing there?
