A quick note, you're about to

0:08

hear what happens live. Which

0:11

means we might say some crazy f***ing

0:13

s***. Please be

0:15

advised. From Wondery,

0:17

I'm Brooke Sifrin. And I'm Arisha

0:19

Skidmore-Williams. And this is Even The Rich.

0:24

Hey Ritchie's, so in case you

0:26

missed it, back in November, Arisha

0:28

and I hosted the very first

0:30

Even The Rich livestream. It

0:33

was truly an absolute blast. I'm still

0:35

riding on that hike. I will ride

0:37

it until the end of time. Yes.

0:40

Now for the show, we did a live

0:42

reading of our Skandival episode, which as many

0:44

of you know is one of my favorite

0:46

topics. Yeah. And as many

0:48

of you know, it makes a friendship with

0:50

Brooke a challenge every day. To

0:53

give her her credit, this was a really juicy story.

0:56

And if you haven't heard our full Skandival episode

0:58

in the Even The Rich feed, you should go

1:00

back and listen. But today

1:02

we want to share the second part

1:05

of our livestream where things got a

1:07

little... I'm going to go with

1:09

unhinged. Yeah, when don't they? I know.

1:12

If it's us, it's unhinged. It's a

1:14

guarantee. Exactly. Yeah. So

1:16

we had a hilarious, no-holds-barred conversation

1:18

with Ben Mandelker and Ronnie Karam

1:20

of the podcast Watch What Crapins.

1:23

We dished about Vanderpump and Skandival and

1:25

all things reality TV. Plus

1:28

we played a bunch of fun games. You know

1:30

we're all about the games. Yeah, we are all

1:32

about the games. We have a Two Truths and

1:34

a Lie, Vanderpump Edition. We

1:36

had a very high stakes best

1:39

friend off where Brooke literally fumbled

1:41

the ball in the worst way.

1:44

First of all, I'm pretty sure we still won. Still

1:47

though. That was brutal. The scoring was

1:49

a little also unhinged.

1:53

But yeah, we challenged Ben and Ronnie

1:55

to a newlywed game style face off

1:57

to determine which co-hosts knew each other.

2:00

other better. And then later we sat

2:03

down to answer your questions about just

2:05

about everything actually. Yeah and

2:07

our producer Kelly joined us to host.

2:10

The whole thing was really just a

2:12

truly truly enjoyable time. Our parents were

2:14

in the audience. It was so fun

2:16

and we thought that maybe

2:18

you guys would really enjoy hearing it too. Yeah

2:21

25 years of helping businesses do more

4:10

like myself, our guests tonight have been

4:12

following this wild world of Vanderpump and

4:14

Housewives religiously throughout their careers. Yeah. So

4:17

Ben Mandelker and Ronnie Karam have been

4:19

keyed into the reality TV world for

4:21

a minute. So they started out as

4:23

bloggers back when X was still Twitter

4:26

and TikTok was just that Kesha song

4:28

that got stuck in everyone's heads. Yeah.

4:31

So these days, Ben and Ronnie co-host

4:33

the podcast, Watch What Crapins, where they

4:35

cover all the juiciest drama in the

4:37

Bravoverse. They've done a live

4:39

tour. They've hosted their own reality TV

4:41

award show, The Golden Crappy. We have

4:43

got to do that. I know. Great

4:45

name. We got to do that for

4:47

ourselves. I love that idea. They've also hung out with Andy

4:49

Cohen himself on Watch What Happens Live. We also got to

4:51

do that. Where is our call? I'm sick

4:54

of this shit. We're both bartenders. I can

4:56

muddle sugar like no one else. She's

4:58

like, bro, ask me to make you an old fashioned.

5:00

You'll love it. So

5:02

without further ado, let's welcome Ben and

5:04

Ronnie. Hi

5:12

guys. Hi.

5:16

Hello. Hi. So excited to have

5:18

you guys here. Thank you so much for

5:20

having us. I feel like I can just love

5:22

you. Yeah. I did 30 minutes ago.

5:24

Okay. I'm going to go still rogue here. Because

5:26

this wasn't in the script. But I

5:29

don't know if you know that, but we have a rivalry

5:31

going on here. Oh,

5:33

okay. March Madness. So

5:35

Wondery does a March Madness thing every

5:37

year and for their shows. And

5:40

you guys won. Look at them acting like they don't know.

5:42

They're like, well, what? Come

5:45

on. What? The very

5:53

humble about it. But

5:56

yeah, I just had to bring that up. Yeah. I kind of

5:58

let that fit. Listen, we are. super excited

6:00

to have you guys here. I

6:02

love hanging out with fellow lovers of

6:04

trash. It makes me feel so seen

6:07

honestly. Orisha makes me feel so

6:09

small. I have to say your

6:11

whole story was exhilarating because it was like

6:14

reliving so much of the

6:16

last 10 years of our life. Like hearing it

6:18

and knowing where it goes. And the thing is

6:21

for people who don't watch Band of Pump Rules,

6:23

you're only getting such a small slice when you

6:25

said, oh and then when like Tom

6:27

and Kristen broke up, it's because

6:29

Kristen slept with Tom's best friend, I

6:31

know. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I told

6:34

you this. I remember that. That's that's

6:36

a key part of this. And Jeff

6:38

was dating her best friend Stasi. Remember

6:40

the laughter around the world. Oh yeah. I

6:42

mean, it's just out of control. He slapped her right in

6:45

the face. What's going on in this

6:47

group? Oh yeah. Oh God for sure.

6:49

Okay, let's dive in.

6:51

I recently wrote down a list of every

6:53

reality show I watch. And

6:56

I honestly shocked myself. It's she's

6:58

still writing it. It's disgusting and I'm unwell.

7:00

Yeah. Yeah. She

7:03

shared the list with us just in

7:05

case we wanted to talk about something

7:07

else. But we don't have another decade

7:09

to watch all of this. What's wrong

7:12

with you? That's how Brooke makes friends.

7:14

She's like, so I have my list of all the

7:16

reality shows I watch. And everyone's like, I gotta

7:19

get out of here. But I gotta ask, I

7:21

don't know how many you guys watch. Maybe you have a

7:23

rough idea of what you watch, but how do you fit

7:25

it all in and then still do a show about it?

7:28

Because people ask me then I'm like, I honestly

7:30

don't know. She never leaves the house. I don't leave the house. Well,

7:32

I don't leave the house. COVID

7:35

was a horrible, horrible disaster, but it

7:37

fit like a glove baby. I mean,

7:39

it was perfect for me. I felt

7:41

so sad seeing the world go through

7:44

stuff, but I was like, I'm

7:46

home. I watch so much TV.

7:48

We watch so much Housewives and

7:50

Bravo. We watch everything on that.

7:53

So that does take a lot

7:55

of time. Then we watch things

7:57

like Big Brother. Okay,

8:00

do you guys watch live feeds or am I the

8:02

only in the past I have? But this season

8:05

of Big Brother has really like tested my patience

8:07

with like this whole multiverse thing I got really

8:09

can't but I watch love Island which is on

8:11

literally 12 nights a week.

8:13

Yeah, and it's just let's take over

8:15

your life It's a whole commitment. I'm

8:17

so tired. I feel intelligent because I

8:19

read about the life Literature

8:24

you don't watch life feeds at your

8:26

sleepovers like I get your friends See

8:31

you guys were listening to our Sandoval Sandoval

8:34

actually segment. Yes, that's the smartest anybody

8:36

has ever made that show sound. I

8:38

know you guys and Made

8:45

out with another Then they

8:47

went to a Another bar and smelled

8:49

like bar rot and they got caught making I

8:51

mean you guys really had the sound effect Yeah,

8:54

yeah wondering doesn't play no I

8:58

want that music for when I call my parents like so

9:00

would you do this week? Well, and then like the music

9:02

starts to play very dramatically. Well, there was a

9:04

week in the kitchen and then he poured a

9:06

drink Okay,

9:10

so we've got to talk about watch what

9:12

happens love the name who gets the credit for that

9:14

name That's been all the way

9:16

and genius. Thank you. How did this show

9:18

come to be? Well, so

9:20

we start off with the bloggers as you

9:22

mentioned back in the Kesha days When you

9:25

write things down guys Fingers

9:28

and people read no chat GPT to write for

9:30

you. I wish actually So

9:33

we were bloggers and then I was

9:35

hired to host like a web show

9:37

about the Real Housewives called housewife hoedown

9:39

And so I mean, did you see

9:41

this show? No, I'm shocked the one

9:43

I have a baby. What's

9:46

the opposite of breaking the internet? So

9:49

then I had to bring on host and so I was like Oh

9:55

Then I I had to find co-host to come

9:58

on for every episode so I You know,

10:00

Ronnie was so funny. I'd met him because of the

10:02

blog that we blogged on together and Ronnie would come

10:04

on and we had also a third person at that

10:07

time and we just had so much fun with

10:09

it. So we went to the web show and Neville went

10:11

down the tubes. We were like, let's just like podcast.

10:14

So we just started doing it. No

10:17

one's, what's a podcast or stupid,

10:20

idiotic things. They're never gonna catch

10:22

on. Why are we

10:24

gonna go backwards and start listening

10:26

to things? We have televisions where

10:28

people move. We have bloody waiters

10:30

on TV who wants to listen

10:32

to two people talking over GarageBand.

10:34

Yeah, yeah. March Madness winners

10:37

everyone. They love podcasting.

10:40

Just goes to show you really never know. So

10:43

something that's well known for

10:45

the Watch What Crapins fans are your

10:48

impressions and you know, we are

10:50

talking about Sandoval or should I say Scandalvall?

10:52

I never know what to call it right

10:54

now. Cause it's Sandoval, Scandalvall. Scandalvall, Scandalvall is

10:57

the accepted name. I'm just

10:59

gonna call it help. There you go, my personal

11:01

help. Intellectual help. Intellect

11:04

goes to die. It's true, it's true. So

11:07

we're gonna start with a man who's the whole reason we're here.

11:09

Can you give us your best Tom Sandoval

11:12

impression? No,

11:14

this is like so fucked up. You're doing

11:16

a whole episode about this right now. You

11:19

know what, I just wanna say I'm

11:21

sorry to Ariana. Oh, that

11:23

is, I recognize that. I'm really, just deep down,

11:25

I've really learned so much to do this whole

11:27

thing and that. No

11:29

you didn't. Oh no, oh wow. If anybody

11:31

really needs a hug or anything like that,

11:34

I'm a feeling person now. Okay,

11:36

amazing, thank you so much. I wanna listen.

11:41

Okay, we're gonna do one

11:43

more. We gotta get your impression of the number

11:45

one guy in the group, James Kennedy. James

11:48

Kennedy, number one guy in the group. I've been the number

11:50

one guy in the group for 10 years. How could you

11:52

even say that I make it sound like I was the

11:54

number one guy in the group? You stupid, stupid slut. You're

11:56

a slut. Wow. I'm

12:00

not just James Kennedy, I'm a musician, right?

12:02

Or we've got records. The wiggy,

12:04

wiggy back and forth, all right? No

12:07

one else here is an artist like me. Amazing.

12:09

DJs. I think that every morning

12:12

you're brushing your teeth, you rinse and then you do

12:14

these impressions just to get your day going, is that

12:16

how that works? Yeah, I was like, how can I

12:18

be a guest on a show and immediately call one

12:20

of the hosts a slut? I was thinking of that.

12:22

And you did a really big round of perfectly new.

12:24

Honestly, I might feel that. We

12:26

take about between 10 to 15 pages of

12:28

notes on

12:30

every hour of these shows. And we

12:32

do them every day. So, no, and

12:34

we never get better at doing the

12:36

impressions. No, no. Sometimes

12:39

people like tweet at us, be like, you guys,

12:41

like your impressions are not accurate. We're like, yes,

12:43

we know. I know. Love

12:46

it. Yeah, I've never gotten that note.

12:48

My impressions have always been spot on. Yeah,

12:50

that's for sure. Yup. So,

12:53

Skindevall obviously became this phenomenon that

12:55

so many people got obsessed with.

12:57

Why do you guys think everyone got so wrapped

12:59

up in it? Why was it so big? Cause

13:02

let's face it, everyone knows somebody or has been

13:04

cheated on. Yeah. It's

13:07

the quarterback cheating on the cheerleader kind

13:09

of thing. It's not supposed to happen

13:11

to them. It's supposed to happen to

13:13

us, you know? Me.

13:16

Wait, what? She's not me,

13:19

don't cheat on her. She's

13:21

so good. It's not Ariana. People

13:24

talk about the perfect victim. And I

13:26

think that she is that.

13:28

I mean, she's one of the only people

13:31

on the show. Even though she did find,

13:33

she did make out with him. We're at

13:35

like the golden nugget or something in a

13:37

pool. Or like, she didn't find him in

13:39

the best place, but they were young. What

13:41

people need to know is that like almost

13:43

every single person on the show is more

13:46

craven than you could ever imagine. Like

13:48

the worst examples of anyone you could

13:50

meet, except for Ariana. Ariana's the only

13:52

one who's actually normal, who doesn't really

13:54

get into scandals. And

13:56

on top of that, while the show was airing,

13:58

this scandal broke while the show. was airing

14:00

and the angle of the season was

14:02

whether or not Tom's best

14:04

friend, who's also named Tom, had made

14:07

out with this girl, Raquel. So then

14:09

when it turns out that while we're

14:11

watching one narrative that's like, oh, maybe

14:13

Tom Schwartz made out with Raquel, what

14:16

we're seeing in real time is that

14:18

it was Tom Sandoval who made out

14:20

with Raquel and that whole cognitive dissonance

14:22

or whatever you wanna call it was

14:25

mind blowing. I actually completely forgot about

14:27

that aspect because we've covered this many

14:29

times on Rich on Daily. Available wherever

14:31

you get your podcasts. Monday through Friday, baby.

14:34

But like, I completely forgot that, yeah, that was the

14:36

narrative that they were spinning and then it all came

14:39

out. JK, JK. Yeah.

14:42

It's wild. It's a twist. So can

14:44

you guys think of any other reality TV scandals that

14:46

even come close to this or is this just in

14:48

a league of its own? Will it ever be topped?

14:50

I know people are trying. Now

14:53

every show on Bravo, there's someone cheating

14:55

and they have to pick the cameras

14:57

back up to catch. You know, on

14:59

Beverly Hills, Kyle Richards has her thing

15:01

now where is she dating women now

15:04

because she's, you know, hanging

15:06

out with a female country star named Morgan

15:08

White. And so we're trying to

15:10

figure out, but I think they're all just

15:12

trying, you know? No. Other

15:14

scandals like people going to prison, that was

15:16

pretty good. Prison's a big one. Ever gonna

15:18

spend a prison. Who has a prison? You

15:20

see, no one even cares anymore. Everyone's been

15:23

there. We've all been there. We brought in

15:25

2022. Bravo has two federal criminals who have

15:27

gone not to like local

15:29

jail, to federal prison. And we're like, yeah, well, whatever.

15:31

You know, they make a TV. But then they're gonna

15:33

sleep with their best boyfriend. No, I mean, come on.

15:36

Cheating, prison, who

15:39

doesn't commit crimes? Yeah. So,

15:41

okay, here's the thing. Speaking of scandals,

15:44

we gotta talk about the Vanity Fair article.

15:46

The one that came out where there were

15:48

housewives. There are a couple of people that

15:50

went on record talking about behind the scenes drama,

15:54

talking about taking advantage

15:56

of certain situations. And I think this kind of

15:58

story comes up a lot when it... when

16:00

we deal with reality because it's not really

16:02

reality, you've got production and the puppet

16:04

master is behind. What do you guys think about that?

16:06

Do you have any thoughts? Yeah, I have

16:08

a lot of thoughts. This article was hilarious to

16:10

me, because this is what the article was. It's

16:13

like, hey, everyone, guess what? There's

16:16

a genre of television called reality

16:18

cheesy, and people drink on

16:20

it. That's

16:22

kind of what the article was. Well, it

16:24

also highlighted that one of the cast

16:26

members was incredibly, incredibly, incredibly racist. I'm

16:28

not making light of that. Well, that's

16:31

Ramona Singer. You guys know who that

16:33

is. That's a real housewife. You're

16:35

Ramona Singer. And

16:37

she's always been insane. This lady is just

16:39

the best. I mean, it comes off the

16:41

TV. And they

16:43

cast their first black woman on the

16:46

show a couple of years

16:48

ago, and Ramona was a disaster. I

16:50

mean, it's just the relative we all

16:52

probably have, or that person we all

16:55

know that just always says the wrong

16:57

thing. She's just

16:59

horrible. And that should have been a

17:01

whole separate article. It should have just

17:03

been an article about her being a

17:05

racist. And race relations and reality television

17:07

in general is a whole... That's

17:11

an expose I want to read. And the

17:13

Vanity Fair article, the promise of it was,

17:16

it's the most deeply

17:18

reported article on reality TV. And

17:21

it really was. It was that

17:23

which we kind of knew about, but

17:25

it's also a separate thing then. They,

17:29

you know... They were trying to blow the

17:31

lid off of the Real Housewives. Like, this

17:33

is a systemic issue that the Real Housewives

17:35

faces. Like, all these problems.

17:37

But it was basically just looking

17:39

at like two or three examples

17:42

all from the Real Housewives of New York only.

17:45

And so here you have this article that's trying to be like,

17:47

look at these terrible things. Look at all the exploitation that happens

17:49

on the show. And they don't even

17:51

interview Kim Richards from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills who

17:54

spent four seasons

17:56

going way down the shitter on the show.

17:58

So just... felt like a

18:00

sloppy kind of hippie more than anything

18:02

else to me. We

18:05

wanted more expose. Yeah.

18:07

But we were like, more exposing in

18:09

the expo. Okay. Yeah. We'll get there

18:11

someday. Someday. Yeah. All right. Someday. Yeah.

18:13

There's a lot to work with. That's

18:16

the thing. I know there is so much there's so much. I

18:18

mean, the things that you have referenced,

18:21

I don't even know how that information stays in your head.

18:24

Like you, I mean, you're like, it's so

18:26

impressive because it's like, there's so there's so

18:28

many worlds. There's so many real health wide shows.

18:30

There's so many like below decks, right? There's one

18:32

in one. You know, I took an art history

18:35

class in college and that has

18:37

all been replaced with anecdotes about

18:39

Kim Richards and Ramona Singer and

18:41

Jackson, Kristin and Katie and all

18:43

the people. How dare you? Art

18:46

replaced with art. There it is. Yup.

18:49

All right. We're going to switch

18:51

gears a little bit from alcoholism and racism

18:53

to a game. Great.

18:55

So we're going to bring it back to

18:57

Vanderpump Rules. Scandal

19:04

Ball was obviously the focus of our episode, but

19:06

that wasn't the only juicy moment to come from

19:08

this show. So we thought it would

19:10

be fun to rehash some of those moments in the form

19:12

of a game. Now, Ben and

19:14

Ronnie, as you know, when it comes to reality

19:16

TV, Aritia does not have whatever illness it is

19:18

we have. So, you know, insanity. I don't have

19:21

that. Insanity. Yeah. So that's why we're

19:23

going to play Two Truths and

19:25

a Lie, Vanderpump Style. So I'm going

19:27

to go first. Aritia has my super

19:29

secret envelope. We have not seen these.

19:33

I'm going to read three truly

19:35

absurd scenarios and you are going to, all

19:38

three of you actually are going to tell

19:40

me which one never happened on the show.

19:42

Okay. Okay. All right. Ready. First

19:45

one. Aritia's going to actually go first. You're going to say all

19:47

three of them at one time. I'm going to say all three.

19:49

Okay. Okay. First one. James

19:52

Kennedy offering a busboy $250

19:55

to eat a goat cheese ball off

19:57

the ground at Sir. Michael.

20:00

Jackson making Britney leave the apartment after

20:03

cheating on her so he could have

20:05

a private reiki session with his. Therapist.

20:08

And then taking a therapist

20:10

out breakfasts, Tom

20:12

sorts getting blackout drunk and waking up in

20:14

a different resort than where his wife was

20:17

sleeping with no memory of how he got

20:19

their sorry so which one do you think

20:21

never happens on the show. For.

20:24

Weirdly, I think the second one is true

20:26

only because when we were living together, I

20:28

just I remember some of that story line

20:31

and I can't ask you questions like research

20:33

affiliates as it. Was are not all of

20:35

so I'm gonna go with the third one.

20:37

Tom Sawyer it sounds were it's like on

20:39

our guides. You guys have. One.

20:42

On number one. Really

20:45

knows she's wrong because they are not. I

20:47

were like to use a suit zebra baby

20:49

but he hasn't really that. You

20:52

will regret off the floor. Of. Got

20:55

this accessing that? That's what I thought that am I getting

20:57

out of? these are little. Bit I really

20:59

love that film or too classy. the

21:01

was Kardashians I forgot. Yeah. We

21:04

have rhymes. And

21:07

ten of them for the hundreds of it.

21:09

As I think you are actually on, We're

21:12

not. We're no longer just roofs and alive.

21:14

Yeah, I think these are to

21:16

troops in a lie about us moto so

21:18

I hope so. Oh my gosh, citing that

21:20

would be really exciting selling for everyone involved

21:23

here in this room. out as your officers

21:25

once everyone poster. The first one.

21:28

Jack. Taylor once crashed our

21:30

live show and rushed

21:32

the seeds. I'm

21:36

I once drove Tom sorts home

21:38

from a party and Tom cried the

21:40

whole time. Of

21:42

us. And Law

21:45

and Randall once made

21:47

out in my apartment

21:49

school. I. Desperately want

21:51

all of these to be true. On.

21:56

Who's into are you getting universe? Ah,

21:59

Conference. Do you remember the first one? The

22:01

first one is Jack Taylor once crashed

22:03

our live show and rushed the stage.

22:07

I'm gonna say crying, the guy

22:09

crying in the car. It's

22:12

gotta be number three, Lala and Randall making

22:14

out in your pool. Well,

22:17

the lie is that

22:19

Ronnie once drove home to Tom

22:21

Ford Homecoming Party. Oh,

22:24

did you? I forgot what you said, too, right?

22:26

That was the second one. That was the second

22:28

one, you got it right. Lala and her then

22:31

boyfriend husband, did they ever get

22:33

married? No, whatever, Randall, Randall,

22:35

what's his face? What was

22:37

his last name again? Oh, I'm so sorry, the

22:39

Hollywood establishment. They were making out in your pool.

22:42

They were making out in my pool once, it was

22:44

disgusting. And you were just like

22:46

up in your apartment, like. I was sitting

22:48

outside trying to lower your skin in. I

22:51

was listening in. Lala and Lala. Look how subtle he

22:54

is, he was just in a pool like. Does anyone

22:56

need a towel? I knew I was listening in, I

22:58

could know because she was speaking very loudly and she

23:00

was talking about faith. By the way, to anyone who

23:02

doesn't watch the show, you really have to watch the

23:04

show because this is like, it's so rich. Was

23:08

it just the two of them and you? Was

23:10

it like they were on a date and you happened to

23:12

be there? It was the two of them, one of

23:15

the Logans, because there's two

23:17

Logans. And then there's also

23:19

someone from the Bachelorette whose name I forget.

23:21

Oh. Yeah, it was a whole reality.

23:24

You are the place to be. And so I was

23:26

sitting there and then Lala was talking about faith and

23:28

she kept on saying like, let the peasants be with

23:30

the peasants. She kept on saying that about faith. Wait,

23:32

faith is a person or the actual having faith? Okay,

23:34

so. It's someone we know. That

23:37

you know Brittany with faith. It's a person,

23:39

okay. Jax is ex, Jax, and

23:41

Jax also stuff with Kristen. Kristen

23:43

was formally dating Tom Sandoval. Tom

23:45

Sandoval left Kristen, then was Ariana.

23:48

And then Tom then

23:50

cheated with Raquel. Raquel at that time had

23:52

been the ex of James. James, one of

23:54

the British and James used to date Kristen.

23:56

Kristen is Tom Sandoval's ex, if you remember

23:58

from earlier. How you get on? My word. Got

24:03

it. Your turn. Okay,

24:06

it's my turn. Alright, so this is for you

24:08

three. Production, they

24:10

like sought out somebody that knows this show

24:13

because certainly it wasn't going to be me. So

24:15

they're trying to stump you. We'll see if it

24:17

happens. The first one is

24:19

Sheena. Is that how you say it

24:21

is? Sheena planning to get

24:23

married at James and Raquel's engagement party,

24:25

then announcing at the party that she's not getting married at their party because

24:27

she doesn't want to make it about her. Second

24:32

one is Lala kicking Sheena

24:34

off Randall's PJ mid-flight

24:38

and leaving her at the Nevada IKEA. Oh, private jet.

24:40

Yeah, I thought it was pajamas. I

24:42

was like, I don't know. Okay, and

24:44

then the last one is I

24:46

have not read these guys and they did ask if

24:49

I want to do it. I was like, they'll be

24:51

fine. Sheena asking her alcoholic and pill-addicted husband who

24:53

is trying to get clean if he can just

24:55

drink a little at parties so he's not so

24:57

boring. These

25:00

people, you guys get to go first. Yeah. Two

25:03

is Lala kicking Sheena off of the PJ

25:05

mid-flight. The other one's happened. Wait, what was

25:08

the first one again? The first one was?

25:10

Planning to get married. Sheena planning to get

25:12

married. Oh, yeah, that

25:15

happened. That happened for James. I'm

25:19

going to get in case she's at your wedding party. What's the big deal? We're

25:21

just going to go over there and do that over there. She

25:24

was trying to get a free photo

25:26

shoot basically. Someone else's destination engagement

25:28

party. God, I love Sheena. Great.

25:30

So, wait, Sheena didn't tell Shay

25:34

to drink just a little bit. No,

25:36

she told him not to drink. I

25:38

know that one. She was trying to recover

25:40

from drugs and alcohol and she took him

25:42

drinking. Was that the gist of the question?

25:46

This is not the reason for

25:48

when Jax then went to

25:51

like a 12-step program meeting with

25:53

Laura Lee. And she talked

25:55

about her issues with substance abuse and after the meeting

25:57

he broke up with her in the parking lot. Oh

26:00

my God, that was so early. Wait, who's she?

26:02

I think it's... Shay. Shay, X-Men.

26:05

She's married to someone else now, but I also think it's

26:07

two. I don't remember that ever happening. I

26:09

think it was remember when she took, remember when Sheena took Shay

26:11

to that bar or that restaurant

26:13

and she's like, I'm gonna try one of each of

26:15

the prime cocktails. You're right. She ordered like 12 cocktails

26:17

in front of her. All right, which one is it?

26:19

We're gonna say number two. You guys are finally at

26:21

the two? We're gonna say number two. You guys are

26:24

right. Okay, good. Bunch of nerds. That was fun. That

26:26

was a good one. Whoever has to do that one.

26:28

That was a good one. Do be fair,

26:30

how are you gonna kick somebody off mid-flight? With

26:32

a parachute? Well, they so would do it. They'd

26:34

fight away. She gave me like a

26:36

power shirt and I had to like literally jump out of the plant.

26:39

first cut was a song

34:11

from Chicago because she always talks about that.

34:13

But I'm gonna go with

34:15

She Loves Amy Winehouse. I don't know. I

34:18

don't know which song because there's the

34:20

Valerie song and then there's rehab. So can I

34:22

just say Amy Winehouse or do I have to

34:24

be specific? That's okay. We'll accept that. Okay. Amy

34:26

Winehouse. Brooke, do you remember what you said? I

34:28

said, you know, I'm

34:30

no good. Bye. Amy Winehouse. So

34:44

far, I think we've got a two out of

34:47

two over here. And then one where I would

34:49

want to go downhill. Let's keep it moving along.

34:51

So we're going to turn the tables. We're going

34:57

to put Brooke and Ronnie in the

34:59

hot seat now. So let's just get

35:01

right on to it. We're going to

35:03

start with snacks. All right.

35:06

So Ronnie, what is

35:08

Ben's favorite snack? Ben

35:11

loves a Tate's cookie. What

35:14

did you say, Ben? I love

35:16

a Tate's cookie. Sorry,

35:21

I am very expressive. So I need

35:23

to like not emote because when you said that I

35:25

was like, oh my God, they know each other. Sorry

35:29

if I threw that

35:31

for you guys. Okay, let's

35:33

move on. Brooke, same question.

35:35

What is Aritia's favorite? I

35:37

mean, I gotta go with my God. I swear

35:40

to God, she's been fucking me over all day with

35:42

these questions, these practice ones. So Reese's.

35:48

All right. What did you say, Aritia? I

35:50

said Reese's. You

35:55

gave me one other answer. We have to

35:57

say it. It was, oh, wait, it

35:59

was Reese's. and milk. Well, that's not

36:01

a pack. That's an addiction. Okay. You're

36:04

missing half of it. You're missing half of the drug

36:06

and that addiction. Wow. I'm

36:10

going to give it, but just milk has come up so much

36:12

tonight that I feel like the people needed to know that you

36:14

like to know that. That's a

36:16

one degree plus. Thank

36:18

you. All right. Let's do

36:20

our, uh, all right. Next

36:23

up y'all. Let's start with

36:26

Ronnie over here. What is

36:28

something that your co-host cannot

36:30

live without? So it's a little

36:32

tricky. His phone. All

36:35

right. And then what did you say? My organ. Oh,

36:37

it's not a mask. So sorry. It's

36:39

okay. That was, that was hard. This

36:43

is really hard. I know. That's

36:45

embarrassing. Yeah. I have Brooke.

36:47

I have a friend. I have a

36:49

friend. I have a friend. I have a friend.

36:51

I have a friend. I have a

36:53

friend. I have a friend. I have a friend. I

36:56

have Brooke. You ready? Same

36:58

question. What is something that your

37:00

co-host cannot live without? Is

37:03

this like a material object or like, I'm

37:05

just going to leave it. We're just going

37:07

to leave it hanging out there because my

37:10

butt is. I

37:12

feel like you know this. I can see

37:14

her parents. Okay. Areisha.

37:17

Well, it's not that now. I can't go back. No,

37:22

take these back. No, take these back. I

37:24

literally don't know me. Yeah,

37:27

you. I mean, obviously

37:29

I said two things for this too, right?

37:31

You did. One of them I already

37:33

said. Yes. Sorry. We

37:35

did not accept that now. I

37:38

said napping or skim milk specifically. What?

37:45

I must have been drinking milk. Honestly,

37:48

I don't have enough. I'm

37:52

in the milk. A new podcast. I wonder. So

37:55

I feel like. Areisha goes solo with her

37:57

own show. Just me and milk. That

38:00

was a really hard one. It's it. Alright,

38:04

so we're kind of middle-matched. I

38:06

tried to keep travel points. You guys, I'm blacking out of

38:09

here. I have no idea. But I feel like we're

38:11

even. You know what we're gonna do to

38:13

make up for it? We're gonna do a final bonus

38:15

round. We're gonna do it. And

38:18

I'm gonna have our lovely stagehand. Our lovely stagehand.

38:20

Is that a demotion for you? Our stage manager,

38:22

Matt's gonna come out. You couldn't be a CEO

38:24

of Wondery in a few minutes. I know. I'm

38:26

gonna get my butt kicked out of here. We're

38:28

gonna hand you guys out some whiteboards and markers.

38:32

And I will have a final question. We're

38:34

gonna do all or nothing. Why not? Whoa.

38:38

I don't know who has what. So we're going to

38:40

give you, I'm gonna ask you a question. And I'm

38:42

gonna give you 15 seconds about to write down your

38:44

own answer. So write

38:46

down what you think for you. And then

38:48

when time is up, I'm going to ask

38:50

your buddy, your co-host, what

38:54

they think that you wrote. And then you get

38:56

to show your board. Yeah, you're an act. You

38:58

know what I mean? Does

39:01

that make sense to everybody? You write down your own answer

39:03

and ask you what you think your pal wrote. So I'm

39:05

gonna start the clock after I read the question. So the

39:07

question is, what is your favorite season or episode

39:09

or topic of your podcast? Of

39:14

your own podcast? We'll be flexible here. We'll

39:16

accept episode topic specific. Celebrity, if it's even

39:18

a rich, no peeking. You

39:20

guys got 15 seconds. I'm trying

39:23

to time. Again, I'm, you

39:25

know, we're just, we're hanging out. Doo

39:28

doo doo doo doo doo. Is

39:30

that popular? All right.

39:34

I'm gonna give five seconds. Four, three,

39:38

two, one. Happy New Year. Whoo!

39:42

All right. Thank you. All

39:44

right. So, Yuri's participating. All

39:47

right. So we're gonna start here with

39:49

Brooke and Arita. Arita, I'm gonna ask

39:52

you first, what do you think Brooke's

39:54

favorite season of Even the Rich is?

39:58

Oh, God. I'm

40:00

gonna go with Blue

40:02

Seal Ball. Okay, and

40:04

Brooke, show us what you wrote. Oh,

40:08

it's a mess! Wow! Well,

40:11

that was amazing. Okay, okay, let's

40:13

see if Brooke, you can crush

40:15

it here. What do you think

40:17

are each favorite? I get this.

40:20

You know me. I think it's Marilyn

40:22

Monroe. Alrighty, we're gonna

40:24

lock that in. Are we gonna

40:26

lock it in? We're gonna lock it in. I'm locked in,

40:28

don't lock it in. If we could see the look happen,

40:30

it would be unfair. We literally talked about- Just answer milk.

40:32

Yeah, sorry, show us your answer. Just answer milk. Oh

40:35

no, it is not a match. It's not a

40:37

match. Oh, you know what I do!

40:40

I'm sorry. And she has been on me about my favorite

40:42

art. I know. God damn it. Let's throw

40:44

it up. Well, so that was good. We got one

40:46

and then we didn't get the other. That's fine. Let's

40:49

do Ben and Ryan up. Damn it. So, are

40:51

you guys ready? This is tricky. We have over

40:53

2,000 episodes. Wow, Brad. I know, it may have

40:55

been uneven. That comes from our tremendous winners again.

40:57

We're supposed to pick one episode? We're just one

40:59

big season. You wrote something,

41:01

right? I picked that out of show. I may have just

41:04

picked that out of show. Okay, I think it'll be okay.

41:06

Okay, I love you. I love you. I love you, Brian.

41:10

God bless, let's do it. Jesus, take the

41:12

wheel. Ben, you're first. I'm gonna ask you

41:14

what you think that Ronnie wrote down. Oh, okay.

41:16

Since we know that he wrote this episode. Oh, his favorite. His

41:19

favorite. I think I'm

41:21

gonna go, oh, it's hard. There's so many

41:23

fun ones. I think,

41:25

I still think your favorite thing is probably

41:27

Real Housewives of New York. Yeah,

41:30

I wrote Real Housewives of New York. Oh,

41:33

amazing. Yes, thank you. This

41:35

is the Ronnie. I just

41:37

peaked, because I'm just a cheater of a person.

41:39

No, no. I didn't know who I was. But

41:41

I just went like that. I know,

41:43

wandering by. The audience saw me. I'm not gonna

41:45

say Caroline in front of her parents. Here you

41:47

go, I'll read the tie. Right in front of

41:49

me. I can't please read the tie. But I

41:51

wouldn't guess this anyway, because I do know that

41:53

he loves his original Real Housewives of New York.

41:55

I do. I do, and

41:57

since I thought it was about an episode, I specifically.

42:00

basically said our fake Real Housewives of

42:02

New York reunion because on

42:04

the season 12, they'd never had a reunion.

42:07

So Ronnie and I did an entire episode

42:09

where we just improvised what the reunion would

42:11

have been. Oh my God, that's fun. There's

42:14

a close that we ever had. So that was

42:16

one of my favorite episodes. Well, I know you

42:18

peaked, but bonus points for going specific. Thank you,

42:20

Andrew. All right, everyone. Well, that was

42:22

amazing. And honestly, points don't matter. I'm

42:25

going to declare the winner, Lisa Vanderpump.

42:27

Thank you all for coming. Thank

42:29

you. Thank you. And

42:32

that is all we have. You can just drop those right underneath

42:34

your seat. And I'm going to give it back

42:36

to Brooke and Arisha here. Thank you. Continue.

42:39

Thank you, Kelly. Original newlywed

42:41

game, meet your heart out. You killed it. Yeah.

42:44

OK, so Ben, Ronnie, that's all we have for you

42:46

guys. But before you go, is there anything you want

42:48

to plug? Yes,

42:50

we want to plug everything. Listen

42:53

to our podcast, Watch Our Crap. It's available

42:55

on all platforms, including Wondery and Amazon Music,

42:57

of course. We're on

42:59

Instagram and all the social media channels.

43:01

Our podcast is at Watch Our Crap

43:04

and is on all the platforms. I'm

43:06

at Ben Mandelkirt. Ronnie is at? Ronnie

43:08

Caron. Give us a follow. Yeah.

43:11

Thank you both for joining us. Thank you, everyone. Thank

43:14

you so much. Thank you so much.

43:23

Hey, Ritchie's. For this segment of it, we're

43:26

letting you in on our weekly sleepover. Brought

43:28

to you by Drunk Elephant and their new

43:30

Bora Barrier Repair Cream. Yeah, we've talked about

43:32

our sleepovers on the show a few times

43:34

before. And we actually just had a sleepover

43:36

last night. Still in my sleepover clothes, but

43:39

when is that not the case? Yeah, honestly,

43:41

it's my favorite night of the week. So

43:43

if you want to know what's usually on our

43:46

checklist, well, first we complain about the annoying stuff

43:48

we had to do that week. Yeah, and we

43:50

don't just leave that for our sleepovers. We do

43:52

that every day. Yeah, and then we usually

43:54

throw on a rom-com. Always got to

43:56

have a rom-com. Yeah, like why aren't

43:58

we in it? Exactly,

44:01

yeah. And the other thing we always

44:03

do is talk about skincare. Yeah, it's

44:05

our favorite subject because we're not getting

44:07

any younger. Amen. And last night we

44:09

tried out Drunk Elephant's thickest, richest cream

44:12

yet. Their Bora Barrier Repair Cream. That

44:14

provides a replenishing blend of ceramides, lipids,

44:16

natural minerals, and potent antioxidant compounds that

44:18

are clinically proven to provide 24-hour moisture,

44:20

reduce redness, and firm the skin. So

44:23

you and I have both been fans

44:25

of Drunk Elephant for a long time

44:27

now, and I had not tried the

44:29

Bora Barrier Repair Cream yet. I've tried

44:32

many others and they are all amazing.

44:34

I gotta say this cream is like

44:36

so lovely to just like massage into

44:38

your skin, and I'm impressed by

44:41

how incredible it feels. I'm a big

44:43

fan. Oh yeah, it's a heavy hitter for

44:45

chronically dry skin or age-related dryness. And you

44:47

know I'm not afraid to talk about aging.

44:49

I personally love that the cultural conversation has

44:52

finally shifted to embracing aging. We gotta do

44:54

right by our skin as we get older. Absolutely.

44:57

And this buttery, ultra-rich Bora

44:59

Barrier Repair Cream is clinically proven

45:01

to provide 24-hour moisture and

45:04

increase moisture by 98%. And

45:06

honestly, one of the best parts is

45:09

that we can watch trashy TV while

45:11

the repair cream provides reparative barrier support

45:13

and soothes the redness. Talk about being

45:16

multi-tasking queens. That's right. Get rich quick.

45:18

Discover the new Bora Barrier Repair Cream

45:20

online or in-store at Sephora or at

45:22

drunkelephant.com. So,

45:29

Ritchie's, we had so much

45:31

fun answering mailbag questions for our holiday

45:33

special last year. So we thought maybe

45:35

we would do another round of those.

45:38

Mm-hmm. So we asked you to ask us anything,

45:40

and we're going to be answering some of those

45:42

questions right now. Kelly, bless her sweet

45:44

soul, is sticking around to read us out some

45:46

of the questions. Sorry. We don't want

45:49

to. We want to. Yeah. It's

45:51

still trading. Yeah. So you guys ready

45:53

for this? Ready. Yeah. All right.

45:55

So first question that the listeners have

45:57

for you is which one of

45:59

you... would do better on reality

46:01

TV. This is

46:03

fun. I think it depends

46:06

on the type of show. OK, like

46:08

that's fair to say, right? Like a competition

46:10

show. Mm hmm. Me. OK,

46:13

come on. I'm a threat.

46:15

Look at me. Like

46:17

a strategic social game. I honestly feel

46:20

like we would both do really well. I

46:22

think I would do better. Of course you do. But

46:25

that bitch attitude is not going to get you to the end. I'll tell you

46:27

right now. Listen, you don't even

46:29

know the answer to a question you heard 24 hours

46:31

ago. I saw a lot of

46:33

my plate. I had to read up till Act one of an

46:35

episode. OK, I got a lot up here. Five

46:37

pages of treacherous. It

46:39

was so long. I would definitely watch that

46:41

show that you guys were on. Yeah, I

46:44

have been saying like I wish they would

46:46

do like a best friend season Big Brother

46:48

because I think I think we would

46:50

crush it. Listening Big Brother. Big Brother

46:52

is always listening. They always are. They're always.

46:54

Yeah. Cool. All right. Let's do the next

46:57

one here. If you could Freaky Friday swap

46:59

places with one of the celebrities that you've

47:01

covered on the show just for one day,

47:04

who would it be? Also

47:08

a tricky one. I think the worst part

47:10

is that I said I was going to look at these questions

47:12

and come up with answers and I absolutely did not. I was

47:14

ready for you to rapid fire. Just like go for it. I

47:16

feel like I would maybe maybe

47:19

Kim Kardashian. She's got a

47:21

pretty sweet life. Great

47:23

life. Yeah, I would. But

47:25

pre children. Oh God, yeah. I

47:27

don't want to have to take care of children. Yeah.

47:29

So Kim Kardashian and be married to

47:31

Kanye. Oh, God. I

47:35

know Kim Kim. Yeah. Yeah. Free

47:37

kid for free. Yeah. Yeah. I feel

47:40

like 2007 maybe. Yeah.

47:42

She's got a lot of fun. Yeah. All

47:44

right. Cool. Amazing. Next up. Both

47:47

Brooke and Arisha, you both mentioned on the show

47:49

that you've had like a million jobs. What

47:52

are just some of those million jobs that you've had?

47:54

Whoever wants to go for now, it's time for rapid

47:56

fire. You go, you go, you go. So many

47:58

to answer. We hear all names. One that is

48:00

always surprising to people is that I used to be an EMT.

48:02

I feel like I forget that. I've been EMT

48:04

for like eight years. I trust you to save a life. I

48:06

would. Oh, I did. I

48:09

was so scared. Like every time we got a call, I was like, oh

48:11

my God, what if I forget how to do CPR? The

48:13

same as this. The stakes are the same. They are.

48:16

They're higher here. Yeah, higher, right? God, I

48:18

could make a breakthrough career. Really weird

48:20

array of jobs. Like I

48:22

had a job where I do be

48:25

in my underwear and stand outside of

48:27

a show in Vegas and like take

48:29

pictures with people when they came in.

48:31

Yeah, I love it. Look at her

48:33

now. Fully closed. Wow. Barely.

48:36

That was like its own podcast. I feel like that's right. We're going to have

48:39

to put a pin in that. Yeah. Yeah. You

48:41

broke a DM if you want the full story.

48:43

Yeah, it was pretty crazy. That was amazing. All

48:46

right. Let's do another one here. If

48:48

you had to give up podcasting or

48:50

just doing anything in entertainment in general,

48:53

what would you do instead?

48:55

So you're not in podcasting. You're not in entertainment.

48:58

Something not in entertainment either. I

49:00

would be a travel blogger just for

49:02

the free trip. You could travel. Yeah. Which

49:05

we're trying to make a podcast about it to do. So we need

49:08

another one. I

49:10

would say interior designer. Oh

49:12

God. Don't let her come to your house. Don't

49:15

let her take the light. Just kidding. The

49:17

first, I like, I recently moved and we have sleepovers.

49:19

She comes in the first sleepover we have in my

49:21

apartment. She's like, where's your

49:23

tape measure? And she starts measuring the

49:26

space because your couch can't go here.

49:29

Okay. I was just trying to help. Obviously.

49:32

Do you build furniture too? Do you like build Ikea

49:34

furniture? No. My husband. I was going

49:36

to say you're a great friend to have with us. Listen,

49:39

I have a really great design eye and you're welcome. Amazing.

49:42

My model looks amazing with the couch where it is.

49:45

I love it. All right. Let's

49:47

move on to a couple more questions here. So these

49:49

next few ones came from social media. So shout out

49:51

to everybody who's slid into the group of two of

49:53

the DM's except for the friends that trolled you. I

49:56

know. So many of my friends. I see

49:58

the most ridiculous questions. All right,

50:00

so this one this is a really good one So

50:02

we all know how you guys both met with the

50:05

LA parking yada yada But you've also

50:07

shared that you've done like a first friend

50:09

date that I feel like we don't know

50:11

as much about Can you just like

50:13

tell us what that is what that was about this whole friend date?

50:17

Well, since this is a podcast. I'll paint the scene. I'll make a

50:19

meal out of it It

50:22

was Brooke's birthday. So this is September and

50:25

We had been talking off and on

50:27

just casual just casual. Yeah texting here

50:29

and there and she had invited me

50:32

51:30

what is one celebrity dead

51:32

or alive that you would want to have dinner with

51:35

could literally be anybody ever There's

51:41

this is so hard cuz there's so many good ones I

51:44

I Marilyn Monroe Dodger

51:47

now, it's the right answer. Yeah,

51:49

Marilyn Monroe Um,

51:52

I would say only because this is in my head

51:54

from our practice games LeBron

51:59

Give us give us some research there? Well, we've talked

52:01

about how we've had this conversation about athletes being

52:03

bad actors. Most of them are terrible actors, but

52:05

LeBron is actually a pretty good actor. Okay. Great.

52:07

He's a great scene train wreck. And

52:09

I don't know, I just, I love his

52:11

energy and I don't, I hate basketball. I

52:14

hate the squeaking shoes, but I

52:16

do like him and I

52:18

just think he's so philanthropic

52:21

and just, he seems like a

52:23

fun guy. He does. He's very tall.

52:25

Yeah. Like a fun like situation. I

52:27

love when I feel self at someone. Right? Like, you

52:29

know, like crane your neck. Everybody be staring to be

52:31

like, yeah. And famous

52:33

podcast host for each show. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty more

52:36

willing. They would say that I'd be on the

52:38

page of us weekly and same with Brooke and

52:40

Marilyn. Honestly, I literally want to be in the

52:42

back of this dinner and just see you guys.

52:44

We should do a double date dinner. Marilyn, you

52:48

and me. Yeah. Done. Perfect. Amazing.

52:50

Well, we have one more question here. I was

52:52

supposed to be looking for my cue here. I'm

52:54

just going to go for it. We're just going

52:56

to roll into one more fun one here. This

52:58

is an audience cue. If you could do a

53:01

podcast on a completely different topic, what

53:03

would you pick? Should we

53:05

count down? Yeah. Three,

53:07

two, one. We did

53:11

not practice this. I know we didn't actually. That

53:13

was amazing. Yeah. We've talked about doing this. We

53:16

have essentially, we recorded

53:18

just without equipment. Thursday at my sleepovers.

53:20
