Hi. How's it going?

0

31.032 - 35.436 Ronnie Karam

Welcome to the show, everybody. Happy Monday. I'm Kai. It's in June. We're in June now.

0

36.137 - 38.879 Ben Mandelker

Wow. June 8th. June 8th.

Chapter 2: How do the hosts feel about the upcoming season finale?

39.38 - 54.41 Ben Mandelker

It's a fabulous day. Beautiful. We're both here in New York. I just happen to be at my parents' house and you're in the fancy ACAS studios, which is lovely. Look cozy. Nice little chair. Nice little wood paneling, all bundled up. You look like you're having the time of your life.

0

55.112 - 58.461 Ronnie Karam

I am, basically. All my dreams are coming true.

0

58.481 - 60.487 Ben Mandelker

I'm drinking some Dunkin'.

0

60.688 - 70.843 Ronnie Karam

Coffee, lit stuff. Love it. And Real Housewives of Rhode Island. Also today, we have Amazon Live and Crappy Hour.

Chapter 3: What controversial moments arise from the hair tug incident?

70.903 - 79.772 Ronnie Karam

So join us for those a little bit later. But for now, we're on Real Housewives of Rhode Island, Season 1, Episode 11.

0

79.892 - 107.317 Ben Mandelker

Stay calm and carry on. I know. You know, I was a bit shocked that next week is the season finale. I was really shocked. Yeah. Yeah, I felt like the energy at the end of this episode was leading up to a cast trip. But I guess since it's first season, it's more of an experiment. So their cast trip was spending that weekend in that mansion in Newport.

0

108.919 - 119.711 Ben Mandelker

But the way they were all talking about going to Block Island, I was like, okay, they're going to have a regional cast trip because it's their first season. But it's actually just going to be the season finale next week. It's shocking.

0

120.4 - 121.464 Ronnie Karam

Yeah, that's so sad.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts analyze the dynamics between Rula and her husband?

121.505 - 128.453 Ronnie Karam

I feel like you're not a real housewife show until you embarrass America. Yeah. I mean, what the hell?

0

129.209 - 148.087 Ben Mandelker

Yeah, it's a little weird. I also feel like there's so much stuff happening on the show. I feel like things are escalating in a way where it feels like just having one more episode doesn't feel quite enough. Although I do love a 12-episode season. I'm not complaining about the length of the season, but it just is surprising.

0

148.107 - 157.596 Ben Mandelker

It feels like, oh my goodness, there's so much that needs to be addressed and needs to be taken care of and whatnot. I'm shocked. I'm shocked.

0

157.576 - 168.948 Ronnie Karam

Yeah. I mean, I don't know how much there is to be addressed, really. I mean, Rula says she's cheating on her every week. And then, I mean, I think these crazy ladies will be over it in two seconds and then fight again.

0

Chapter 5: What insights do they share about the character of Joellen?

168.988 - 172.699 Ronnie Karam

So it's pretty good. It's a good 12, but I do need the vacation.

0

173.422 - 190.611 Ben Mandelker

Yeah. We've had a lot of Bravo lately, and so I'm sort of okay for another show, sort of settling up for the season, sort of wrapping up and being done so we can have a little bit more time on our schedule just to relax for a moment.

0

190.911 - 191.532

It can happen anyway.

0

191.512 - 213.874 Ronnie Karam

you know uh house of the dragon comes back soon oh yeah that we've got love island which is on 97 fucking hours a week for some cheese oh my god just make it they've made out with so many people on that show i mean they always make out a lot but i don't remember it ever being something where they literally just go person to person and every single person makes out right

0

213.888 - 220.277 Ben Mandelker

I know that the premiere was crazy. They just like all made out all together. Let's get this over with.

220.437 - 226.666 Ronnie Karam

And like, nobody even cares. You know, you all back to making out with everybody, just blowing out birthday candles, like right on the cake.

227.447 - 234.377 Ben Mandelker

Yeah. That's just, it's just a lot of spit is getting swapped amongst all the people, all those idiots.

235.438 - 238.022 Ronnie Karam

How are none of those hot guys making out with each other?

239.048 - 239.989 Ben Mandelker

It could happen soon.

Chapter 6: How does the conversation shift to the topic of menopause legislation?

240.049 - 241.191 Ben Mandelker

You never know.

0

241.211 - 250.463 Ronnie Karam

I hope so because, geez, I feel like everything's gotten so much more fluid except on that show, you know? I mean, they've got more fluids. Not bad to say.

0

250.503 - 252.846 Ben Mandelker

Fluids are not an issue on Love Island.

0

253.487 - 275.877 Ronnie Karam

Yeah, but the fluidity of the people, you know, I could handle more. Okay. So anyway, point is, Oh, let's get to some Rhode Island stuff. So there was some controversy last week because I was arguing that the hair tug wasn't really like a hair pole. It was just more of like a threatening, like, Oh, you listen to me, Dolly. I could pull your hair, but I'm not really.

0

276.518 - 285.61 Ronnie Karam

And I got a lot of letters about that. Okay. You can have it. I mean, look, I'm just saying like in the scheme of housewives to me, it wasn't,

Chapter 7: What humorous anecdotes do the hosts share during the episode?

286.298 - 313.622 Ben Mandelker

the most violent thing i've ever seen but you know i still think you shouldn't touch people i always said that but yeah i um i remember i watched it the night before and um i saw the hand in the hair and i was like in my mind i was like oh that's bad like don't do that like we know don't touch the hair if in a tense moment don't touch the hair especially when you just got mad that joe allen had like touched you on the knee in a sort of like reassuring way like

0

313.72 - 332.786 Ben Mandelker

Don't touch me, don't touch me, don't touch me. And now you're going to put your hand in her hair. I don't even remember what I said on the podcast. I never remember what I said. But I do... I seem to remember feeling like the kicking of the chair was actually more problematic for me. Because I'm like, now you're actually... You're basically shoving someone.

0

333.306 - 354.297 Ben Mandelker

That is like... And you're going to hide behind the fact that your foot was on the wooden leg of the chair. And that's not... So therefore, it's not any sort of physical assault. But I think we all... Either way, I don't know. We got some flack for not dwelling on the hair thing longer to the point where someone even said that we didn't even watch the show.

0

354.918 - 357.662 Ben Mandelker

Actually, we just relied purely on the notes.

0

358.143 - 364.332 Unknown

If I knew that was an option for some of these shows, I would have done it.

364.548 - 369.941 Ben Mandelker

I can assure you all, I'm watching every single one of these shows.

Chapter 8: What plans do Rula and her friends make for an end-of-summer party?

369.961 - 390.82 Ronnie Karam

Give me a break. We couldn't do this if we didn't watch this show. One thing, we're... It's important for us to be honest about what we're doing, right? So when we ended up hiring note takers a couple of years ago, we're very honest about it. We're not going to be like, oh, we're still doing all, you know, 20 pages of notes by ourself. We did that for 13 years.

0

391.281 - 407.009 Ronnie Karam

But now we have people that take the notes. But that doesn't mean we don't watch the shows. And that's kind of a ridiculous thing. allocate. I mean, look, if we miss things sometimes, which we do, or we get things wrong sometimes, which we do, it's not because we're lazy. It's because we're old.

0

407.589 - 407.89 Ben Mandelker

Yeah.

0

408.671 - 410.934 Ronnie Karam

And there's, there is something to be said for that.

0

411.535 - 432.871 Ben Mandelker

And people forget how much we also mess things up when we were taking our own notes. Okay. Like, and I can't remember, I can't remember shit from this morning. Okay. So sometimes like also it's possible that like once in a while I'm watching a TV show and I, my eyes look elsewhere in the room and then I return my eyes to the TV. It can last all of like two seconds.

432.912 - 443.107 Ben Mandelker

And it's like the moment I do that, it's like I've missed some important thing about how someone's fingers were in someone's hair. And then it's like, Oh my God. Like I looked away. I looked at, but I did actually see the fingers in the hair.

443.668 - 443.728

Um,

443.708 - 470.56 Ronnie Karam

yeah i was like i mean look we went to dinner the other night and if ben told you what happened at dinner and i told you what happened at dinner there would be two completely different stories and we would both stand by them we just that's how memory works i don't know what to tell you but i do remember the hair pull i did watch the hair pull and i still remember the hair pull not being that big video sorry but um we hear you i just wanted to answer you i think that you fucking slam pig you

470.54 - 472.143 Ronnie Karam

We are watching the show.
