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

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

29:40
where host asks newlyweds questions about themselves. And
29:42
then each person guesses what they think the
29:44
other is going to say. And since
29:47
podcasts co hosts are more or less married
29:50
couples, I mean, the doctor at urgent care thinks Brooke
29:52

34:04
They wanted to sing. I'm
34:06
gonna, I know I'm gonna go with my
34:09
first cut was a song
34:11

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
over We actually played the
50:34
music. Thank you Andrew. We're there birds
50:37
chirping. The birds were chirping. This is LA sunny
50:39
LA The Sun was
50:41
setting and Brooke was like hey, my my parents are gonna
50:43

a friend date. Yeah, and a little check-in can't
51:25
recommend All right. Well, that
51:27
was beautiful. Let's do another one from social media So
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

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.
