30.153 - 51.397 Ronnie Karam

Good. Everybody, welcome to the show. Today is the first recap ever of In the City. In the City. I wish they would have just called it The City. I know they can't because there was another show called The City, but... The Valley, the city. Keep it consistent, guys, okay, for my sake. But in any case, In the City started, and we will be talking about it.

slash watch what carabans and today in the city season one episode one titled the city whoa it's finally here we're in the city after years and years of us requesting more time in the city with the summer house people we have received it sort of because it's not happening during summer house as with a whole different group of people but you know Kind of what we want. And I loved it.

127.63 - 137.953 Ben Mandelker

I'm going to say this right now. I loved it. I thought it was a great premiere. I was on board. I liked the dynamics. I liked the way it looked. I liked the vibe. I liked the buttons. I liked the zipper. I liked the pocket.

138.085 - 156.955 Ronnie Karam

I like the buttons. I like the pleading. Yeah, I liked it, too. I mean, I think I'm going to like it. You know, I think good. It's you know, for me, it's just a lot of Kyle and Amanda bullshit right after Summer House, which I mean, I can only imagine how they feel.

Chapter 2: What are the hosts' initial reactions to the first episode of 'In the City'?

423.998 - 425.385 Unknown

Cause I'm a girl.

0

426.293 - 437.628 Ben Mandelker

Or being a boss. I'm a boss. I'm a boss. I'm a girl who's a boss. Walking down the sidewalk, all I see are people at loss. Because here comes a boss. And it's me.

0

438.57 - 443.156 Unknown

B-O-S-S. I'm a boss. I'm a boss, boss, boss. I'm a girl who's a boss.

0

453.069 - 454.611 Unknown

Anybody? Anybody?

454.631 - 456.013 Ben Mandelker

Very working girl coded.

455.993 - 479.858 Ben Mandelker

very working girl coded and honestly that's the sort of coding that works for me okay more like working for ben girl because uh i was like just please please play let the river run that's all i need right now and then the show i'm i'm i'm hooked for the next 10 years just get that carly simon going our audience who is too young to know what the hell i'm talking about which is a shame

480.04 - 502.268 Unknown

there the river run there you go there it is for you kids so amanda is riding solo into midtown and she's like i can't imagine my life without kyle but no matter how badly i want to fix this relationship i'm not sure i can something has to change i need time by myself i'm going to a hotel

504.728 - 511.869 Ben Mandelker

Now she'll be able to imagine life without Kyle, which is life without hearing coming out of AirPods.

Chapter 3: How do the dynamics among the cast members differ from 'Summer House'?

713.465 - 717.711 Ronnie Karam

Like our new flavor is coming out. The new flavor is called Amanda.

0

719.446 - 723.47 Unknown

Okay, well, that's not an actual flavor name. Okay.

0

726.052 - 745.791 Ben Mandelker

So Kyle's like, well, I joined a new gym and I pulled my back doing deadlifts, so I want to be there for you through all this, but I also want to clear a few things up, which is that if you thought my back was in good shape, it's not. Aren't you glad I opened up with this anecdote about the gym? No, Kyle, I don't care about your deadlifts. Well, you should, because I'm a man.

0

746.48 - 754.297 Ronnie Karam

What every woman wants to hear when you've left them and they want you to be doing better. And you're like, well, it started working out more. So that's good.

0

755.299 - 761.012 Ben Mandelker

Wow. It's actually a free gym. All I had to do is pierce my ear and get a Corvette. So I'm really excited.

761.633 - 770.59 Ronnie Karam

She's like, well, and he says, well, you know, over the summer, it looks like you were just done with me, which it did. It did look like that over the summer because we just watched that show.

770.971 - 779.988 Unknown

And Amanda's like, well, that's so frustrating to me because I gave our relationship everything I had. Did either of you?

780.008 - 784.637 Ronnie Karam

I can't with this conference. I'm sorry. I'm already bitter starting off this because we just finished.

784.617 - 812.802 Ronnie Karam

17 or 18 episodes of Summer House so I've heard it okay I'm sick of both of you so she's like you know the thought of you not existing in my life was so impossible for me to wrap my head around and it was so hard to call it quits but then you know it got so messy and I was afraid that when we did just end it we'd be out of each other's lives forever and like I couldn't handle that Kyle I couldn't handle that I haven't been I haven't had to pay rent in three years which we find out later

Chapter 4: What are the relationship challenges faced by Kyle and Amanda?

1025.072 - 1041.467 Ben Mandelker

Not because I'm trying to rekindle things. It's because I care. God knows I don't want to rekindle. God know how much ass I'm getting out there on the road. Man, I just did a DJ gig in Lodi. Oh, my God. I had a threesome. Talk about a load in the eye, right? Kyle, can you focus again?

0

1041.487 - 1045.491 Ronnie Karam

I was deadlifting ass. That's how I hurt my back, okay, if I'm going to be honest.

0

1046.095 - 1049.468 Ben Mandelker

Did a show on Manhasset. More like this man has it.

0

1050.15 - 1052.68 Unknown

Manhasset. Yes.

0

1056.136 - 1066.834 Ben Mandelker

I went up to Scarsdale, did a great DJ gig there. I was scarred from too much sex. I don't know. I ran out of puns, okay? But I did a gig in Scarsdale. That's the point. Right off of 84.

1067.254 - 1068.617 Ronnie Karam

Went bonkers and yonkers.

1071.381 - 1076.009 Ben Mandelker

Point Jervis? More like point jizz us. Great gig up there.

1076.57 - 1080.456 Ronnie Karam

West splooge on your Chester. That's where I was doing a gig this weekend.

1081.077 - 1086.324 Ben Mandelker

Had a great gig in West Orange, New Jersey. More like, West Orange, you jealous of my career?

Chapter 5: How does the show address the theme of career ambitions versus personal relationships?

1338.555 - 1347.365 Ben Mandelker

It can't be like, you've been saying this behind my back? Say it to my face. Like, sorry. If you could say more than Goo Goo Gaga, sure, you have a point.

0

1347.946 - 1364.243 Ronnie Karam

Exactly. Yeah, when you're old enough to pay taxes, you're old enough to judge me for calling you ugly. I feel like the only people that you can say, like, that baby's really ugly. I feel like the only people you should really ever say that to is like the parents of the baby. Because they're the ones who can do something about it.

0

1365.218 - 1381.623 Ben Mandelker

Yeah. There should be a podcast about talking shit about babies. Be like, oh my God, I met this baby today. So stupid. Coming this fall. It's true. It's cheerio on the floor. Like, hello, that cheerio is for you. Okay. Catch us after the break.

0

1381.643 - 1385.389 Ronnie Karam

Yeah. Just rape babies. I'm in. Yeah. Let's go recap babies.

0

1386.35 - 1390.857 Ben Mandelker

Yes. Hell yes. You go look instead of look who's talking. Look who's being stupid. It's just about babies.

1391.518 - 1392.88 Ronnie Karam

Look who's not talking yet.

1393.484 - 1394.786 Ben Mandelker

Yeah, Luke is not talking yet.

1395.367 - 1397.832 Ronnie Karam

Wow, wait for your baby still not to be able to speak.

1399.796 - 1400.657 Ben Mandelker

That might not land well.

Chapter 6: What are the hosts' thoughts on the new cast members introduced?

1641.53 - 1643.453 Unknown

I'm Georgina, but I also still have a lot of fun.

0

1643.513 - 1656.053 Ronnie Karam

My life is a disaster. My ex left me when I was 32 weeks pregnant. I'm alone with a toddler, a dog, a broken ankle. Don't even ask. In the cold of New York City. So I went a little crazy. I'm surprised I'm not on Snap.

0

1658.037 - 1665.108 Ben Mandelker

They didn't say how she went crazy, but I feel like that's going to be something special for us. A little gift for us on a later episode.

0

1665.669 - 1675.105 Ronnie Karam

Like what she did when she went crazy, you mean? Yeah, we don't know what she did when she went crazy. Oh, yeah, I need to know. And I need to know, like, how she broke her ankle, too. Like, does that have something to do with it?

0

1676.787 - 1680.351 Ben Mandelker

She kicked in a window at the Capitol. She was an insurrectionist, wasn't she?

1680.551 - 1695.887 Ronnie Karam

I went so crazy, I started tap dancing on a subway grate. Next thing you know, broken ankle, toddler on my shoulder, another one in my arms, another one in my belly. At least I don't have pores. You can't see my pores. So...

1696.492 - 1713.403 Ben Mandelker

I mean, I wouldn't say it was crazy what I did. I mean, did I bum rush the stage at Les Mis and kick Jean Valjean in the nuts? And I said, you want to talk about Les Miserables? How about being dropped when you're 32 weeks pregnant? But I mean, I thought that was fun for the audience personally. Anyway, they fell off the stage into a tuba and next thing you know, broken ankle.

1713.755 - 1739.83 Ronnie Karam

Yeah. So here's what we know so far. Lindsay was with a guy who dumped her, what, right after she had a baby, I guess? Yep. And then Georgina had a guy who left her at 32 weeks pregnant. We find out later that this Yvonne's husband is completely disinterested and checked out and doesn't even know when she's out of town for a week. The men are not looking great on this show.

1739.81 - 1752.756 Ronnie Karam

I'm just going to say it looks like we're going to be carrying over the Valley tradition of terrible men. If you're looking to this show for like any hope in love and long-term relationships, you're in the wrong place.

Chapter 7: How do the hosts react to the unfolding drama and conflicts in the episode?

1963.041 - 1973.076 Ben Mandelker

But I think I saw her in the background of something actually like yesterday, which is why I was thinking of her. So I know she still circulates around, but she was also, I don't know. I was a little surprised that we didn't see more Gabby.

0

1973.95 - 1991.143 Ronnie Karam

Yeah, I want to know. Okay, I'm sorry. Back to this show, guys. Waddle and Gabby aside, let's come back. So now we see Lindsay says she wants to show Gemma a strong female role model, and that does not require relying on a man because clearly we can't.

0

1992.935 - 2017.744 Ben Mandelker

so now she's going to go to brooklyn fair or as it's spelled on its sign bookland b apostrophe k-l-y-n fair because their sign is probably too small yeah um but in true manhattan fashion uh it's too far to go to brooklyn so they go to the place is actually in greenwich village it's like this is exported from the far away imported from the far away land of brooklyn

0

2017.724 - 2037.267 Ben Mandelker

So she and Gemma and Amanda are strolling through this grocery store and they're looking at all these different snacks. And Amanda's like, oh my God, does Gemma like these? My dogs love these snacks. I'm sorry, Amanda says that. Amanda apparently has been feeding Beats blended, oh, it's blended beef. I thought it was blended Beats.

2037.528 - 2055.628 Ronnie Karam

I thought she was serving- No, it's blended beef. No, she's sending, she's giving that to her dogs, which is very fancy for a dog. Blended beef in a bag. And like you suck the beef out. And she's like, does Gemma like those? And she's like, um, blended beef in a bag. She's like, yeah. And she's like, no, no.

2055.794 - 2074.315 Ben Mandelker

Wants to give their baby blended beef. Blended beef. It's like when a Brady Bunch family gets into a big fight. Blended beef. Think about it, and then you'll say, get it. Gemma gives this side eye, like, don't give me that blended beef.

2074.896 - 2080.823 Ronnie Karam

She really does. Gemma knows what was just said, and she's like, get this trick out of here.

2081.731 - 2093.908 Ben Mandelker

And by the way, Amanda feeds the dog the beef. I'm like, I hope you pay for that. Okay. Oh, it was a flashback. Never mind. I'm a disaster with recounting this scene. You would think I hadn't watched this, but I actually have watched it. Sorry, I don't have all the details.

Chapter 8: What predictions do the hosts make for future episodes of 'In the City'?

2290.691 - 2291.712 Ben Mandelker

I don't understand sometimes.

0

2292.554 - 2309.597 Ronnie Karam

So yeah, I just don't understand the divvying of the property, you know, because if you own the apartment, which I don't think, I don't know if they do, But that would be like something that you divvy in a marriage, but maybe this is just a rental. And so she can't afford the, because that's gotta be an expensive as fuck apartment. Oh my God.

0

2310.238 - 2332.052 Ben Mandelker

So maybe that's why he asked for back rent. It was almost like a, like this way, like, well, no, but if it's a back rent, then he would pay her. If he was taking over the place and he should pay her. No, not if she hasn't paid for three years. No, no, but I'm saying theoretically, like you're buying someone out and be like, okay, this will be my space and you got to go to your place.

0

2332.933 - 2347.271 Ben Mandelker

But I also do contend that I don't think that she should pay rent. I really don't. I think if you're married, it's like a joint. Because they're married. It's like, it should be like the money, his money should be her money, et cetera.

0

2347.311 - 2364.551 Ronnie Karam

Like you may have different- But she said that they have, she said that they don't do it that way and they keep all their, she said on Summer House that they keep all their finances separate. So she doesn't know anything about his fine. Cause they were asking her about lover boy and how this affects her. And she's like, I don't care. Like our finances are separate. That wouldn't affect me at all.

2364.611 - 2385.622 Ronnie Karam

So she's keeping all of her money and all of her influencing money. She makes money, Amanda, like we joke about her lack of work, but she makes a ton of money doing deals and stuff. So I don't know. I get it. I get it. That like, you're a couple and that like, if he's going to pay, he's going to pay. But if someone's like, hate you, like, And it's like, fuck you constantly.

2386.363 - 2394.375 Ronnie Karam

Wouldn't you be like, well, you don't even pay rent because this goes back to this whole you don't do anything like you don't contribute anything. So who knows? Who knows what leads to this?

2394.776 - 2411.719 Ben Mandelker

I think it's still like it's not a roommate situation. I don't know. I think it's like a little weird, especially because she actually professed that she wanted to live in New Jersey. So I don't think she even wanted to live there in the first place. I don't know. I mean, people have different financial arrangements. I get that. It's not a hill. I'm really, I care too much about dying.

2411.839 - 2427.777 Ben Mandelker

I just think it's weird. I think it's like you guys are a couple and like ultimately may have different accounts, may have different sources of income. You may keep your own, you may keep it separate or whatever, but it's still sort of like your joint thing. So I don't know. You know what? Who knows? God bless.
