B
Great, great times, everybody. Wow.
A
Yeah.
B
Exciting times. All right. Yeah. Let's get on with her being. This is a video, as usual, over on Patreon. Crappings on demand. Let's begin. We open in Puerto Vallarta. Day two. Heather is in an oddly shaped swing outside of her room. You know, I love that people just keep trying to reinvent the swing. I don't really think it's something that needs to be reinvented that much. This one's a big, flat, round one. I don't. I didn't really understand it, but, you know, just give me. Just cut my ass. Know what I mean? I don't want to feel like a. A blob on a teacup or a tea. A teacup coaster. I just want to feel like my butt is cupped, no matter its size.
A
You know what? It's not a show about Utah unless there's a reference to a swing.
B
So she literal, literal swingers. Everywhere we turn.
A
Literal, literal swingers. So she gets a text from Whitney and to go meet Whitney and to say, come meet me and Angie for water robics in 20 minutes. And we see just people like, Bronwyn's brushing her teeth. Marilyn's drinking coffee. Lisa's getting glam. And Lisa is texting everyone. She's like, hi. Hi, girls. We have a beautiful breakfast in the villa today, and then we're going on a little yacht ride. And be sure to be ready for the yacht out of love on. Did you see Lisa's tweet that she tweeted out last night by any chance?
B
What did it say?
A
It said this is her tweet. This is the entirety of her tweet. Liars need to shut their mouth.
B
Mom, mom, it has.
A
It has so many retweets. It's just. Her liars need to shut their mouth.
B
Sometimes you just keep. Need to keep it simple, you know, hey, yo, that's going to be my next tweet. Hey, yo, let's see how many people retweet it. That's the first time I'll ever go viral. Shut up. This is going to be my tweet. Shut up swings. Am I right?
A
So then we go over to Bronwyn's room, and she's also getting into glam. And so she calls Todd. She's like, what's going on there? Are the dogs okay, Todd? He's like, yeah, they're all fine. A couple of them are outside. Side. I'm getting on the porch. Get off my porch, dog.
B
This is not for your space to live. She's like, there are a lot of animals roaming around the jungle here. It's just so beautiful. Todd, I wish you were here to see her with me. Do you have to keep nodding your head? You're like a. A bobblehead on an old Corvette. Hadn't had his. His transmission regulated. Jesus Christ. Are you riding a horse?
A
Do you need something to support your chin? Yeah. You know what? I'm gonna build you a sack of Werther's originals that you can rest your chin on so you stop bobbing so much.
B
Are you dying over the text I sent you last night? Well, here's what's going on here. I sent you a late night text that was saying, todd, I'm just very upset because Lisa asked me how I like the rooms, and I said, lisa, I like the rooms, but I just can't believe that you wouldn't have me by you because I came to be with you, and then you put me in another room with other people, and I just don. And, oh, my God, you're going to give yourself a conniption fit. It's not a good deal. You're in a gorgeous room. You're overlooking the ocean. I've never heard anyone in my life, especially on this show, complain about being too far from Lisa Barlow. Everyone else is trying to get bus tickets the hell away from Lisa Barlow if they have to girl a hallway away.
A
You know, this was Bronwyn's. This was her, like, sob story episode. And I don't mean that in a. I don't mean that in a dismissive way, but like all great housewives, they know how to clap back. They get into fights, they hold their own, but when the. When the pressure's on, they. They give the sob story. This is like what Leon Lock and would do at all times. Like when Leon Locken was caught with every episode. Leeann Lockin was the best. She's like, well, I'm sorry. One time when I was a baby, my stuffed out of my plushie got caught in the Ferris wheel at the carnival, and I cried and cried for years. So now I just relive that trauma whenever I see Carrie Dubert. So I'm sorry I hit that bus.
B
But one time, my mama put me on the bus. And she said, you're never getting off this bus. And when you do, it's gonna be a different mama that sees you when you get off. Cuz I'm done with you. You can't even do a back stand. What kind of carny are you? Loser. And now every time I see a trolley, I just have to hit it. Like, oh, for Christ's sake, can we just take responsibility?
A
Now, I'm not saying also that what Bronwyn says later in the episode is just like some. Like what? Like a. Like a silly story that she manipulates for tears. Like, it doesn't matter.
B
We'll get to that. But the point is that she.
A
This is her episode. This is her episode. When we talk about this is her, like, I want.
B
I want to get the rose episode. This is. If anyone watches a Bachelor, you always have to have your trauma to stay on the show. And when you're afraid you're going to get kicked off, this is when you bring up your trauma. They vary. And I'm sure most of them are real, but you save it up. I think they ask you in auditions, you know, most people, like, on Broadway, they'll be like, give me your best eight bars. And you come in and you're like. And you do that for five seconds. But in like reality tv, they say, give me your best eight bars. And you're like, mom beat me, dad left me, Car broke down. Brother looks, brother's hotter. And they're like, okay, goldfish died. Yeah, great job. We've already got a couple of mother deaths and father abandonments. Please move to the back. Next, please. Someone's like an elf. Fucked my elbow in college and the.
A
CEO of Compilot cheated on me. Like, okay, that's good.
B
That's it. Ding, ding, ding. Bring her in. And she's also dressed like a bunny in a bikini. Wow. All right, double.
A
And she was mauled by a dog the other day.
B
She's just like. It's like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. She's just passing of flying colors. Fucking men, though. Isn't that the truth? I mean, men, it doesn't matter how old a man is. A man can have nipples dragging onto the ground, be a hairy backed ape, and probably smell like milk that was spilled on the counter three weeks ago and still pull ass. I mean, they will still. They might not get out of their easy chair for five days in a row, but their dick will still find a way. They could be impotent. We will tape a popsicle stick to the bottom of our dicks and still put it inside of things.
A
Like, it's a World War I victim in Downton Abbey. It's like your dick. Your dick is on the Popsicle stick in the living room in Downton Abbey, and one of the daughters is tending to it carefully.
B
That's the Viagra of the past. Sticks. That's how people started getting crooked dicks, because they were tourniqueted around sticks, you know? So, like, nature just took over and started bending everybody's.
A
Nature finds a way. The point is that nature finds a way.
B
Okay, so back to the times before we knew that Todd was a cheater, which is right now. Hey, so she sends that text to everybody, and. Yeah, so Bron was talking to Todd. Blah. Sorry, I forgot that. And she's like. And, you know. And then, you know, she said, lisa's talking about how beautiful the hotel is. And I'm like, it is beautiful, and I'm glad we're here, but I feel kind of a not rooming with you. And then it turned into this whole conversation of her insinuating, I'm not grateful to be here and frankly, that I'm snobby. That never happened. That never happened. You're a fucking liar, Bronwyn. And, like, you're enjoyable on this show. I'm enjoying Bronwyn on this show. I really am. But she's a fucking liar. And, you know, she's gonna fit right in here because you've got this show of Whitney's. Well, Whitney, I guess, is the biggest liar, but you'll fit right in.
A
She's. I mean, she's going to. She's going too fast. Like, she. We saw season one Braun win season two. We're on, like, are we already on season four, Bronwyn? And we haven't even finished, like, episode 14 or whatever. Like, this is. She's like, her. Her. The fact that she's already at this place of taking one comment and reading so far into it that then she comes out of it saying, like, and you just called me a snobby. You have to be. You have to have a few seasons under your belt before you're doing that sort of thing. So she's really. She's. She's going too fast. She's going to explode.
B
She's just so offended. And that's a good quality in a housewife generally. But it's like every little thing, she's got a slower role, you know? So, Todd, we're going to find out, well, that's just a stupid thing to say. And I thought, God, Todd does really listen to this channel because he knows James. James's famous song. You're a stupid thing to say.
A
La la. You're a stupid thing to say.
B
We should play that at the end of this episode. Just so just in case, you know, James is. James is an asshole and he's canceled and we're not trying to uncancel him, but he did have a real banger a few years ago. Ben's going to put it up later.
A
You're a stupid thing to say.
B
So then we go over to Whitney and she's taking. She's taken Angie and Heather water aerobics. And she's like, every family vacation we go on, Justin insists that we go to water aerobics. And then we see a clip somehow of Justin at a pool and water aerobic. How much. How much does the camera crew follow these people around that they have.
A
I know. Was this Bobby, Bobby, were you taking secret footage of your parents doing water aerobics?
B
And I do it again, bitch. Bobby, why are you talking like that? I just had a Mountain Dew splashed with some Dr. Pepper. You want to with me? I'll give you a piece of me.
A
We haven't seen much of Bobby this season. She's probably out, like, swerving that golf cart around. Oh, and by the way, gum in.
B
Kindergarten, everybody gets a piece. Come on, I'm rich.
A
Which is the quote that Karen Huger said. The video all came out of Karen Huger. We don't have. There's not a crappy hour until the new year, so we probably should. Well, the big news is that Karen you is found guilty for dui. And all the video footage. All the footage of her in the patrol car and at the police station has now hit the Internet. It's pretty wild. I'm sure it is about a brain.
B
Her and Ray are acting like they are talking to tmz. The camera's right in their face and they're like, oh, yeah, yeah. Being pulled over. You're welcome. You're welcome. Hello. Hello. Hello. Do you have anything for me to sign? Is that what you'd like me to do? Sign something for you? No, you know, what's your name? And she's. They show one where she's in the patrol car and she's asking the cop, what's your name? And he's like, I don't know, Rick, what's yours? And she's like, the grandma, you call me Grand Gum. And he goes, the Grandam. She just sounds horrible because he doesn't know what she's talking about. Grandam, you know, any old name gave it to me and he did it.
A
Do you have a tissue? Do you have a tissue? He's like, no, ma'am, I don't have a tissue. She. Every like two minutes, she. She has like two lines that she keeps coming back to, which is, oh, I'm very rich. I'm very rich. Do you have a tissue? Do you have a tissue, ma'am? You do not have tissues? In the patrol car.
B
Are you sure anyone would give me a tissue? She's like, who? Grandm. What? What? They're like, drunk.
A
She's drunk.
B
She is wasted. This is horrifying in a way, but it's also, hands down, I have to say, the best DUI video I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of this was amazing work. The best. I mean, it was. Listen, she might go to jail. This was bad. She got found guilty. It's her second time. This was egregious. This was egregious.
A
She should not have been driving.
B
She may be. She may be guilty of this. We all know that she is now officially guilty of this. But something else she is also guilty of is art. You know, she's an artist.
A
Feeling arts.
B
Well done.
A
It's. It's. It's really. It was. It's an amazing video. Two. Two videos at least. I don't know if there's another video, but they're. They're. They're really worth watching also, as long as I mentioned this a few days ago, but in case you didn't listen to that episode, I will say it here on the Salt Lake City episode. I apologize for devaluing Bronwyn's passport holder gift. I. I personally thought they were tchotchkes. Many people who are up on their passport holder knowledge wrote me messages to say they are. They were actually $600 a piece. They were like Kelly, Ben Simone's or something like that. I forget the Judith Lieber, Kelly Lieber, Joanna Lieber, whoever it is, it's a designer passport case. I stand corrected. It turns out they were not Chotchkiz. Although to me they look like they were from Zazzle. But either way, now we know. Now we know the truth.
B
Yeah, now we fucking know. And you know what? We're. And now we've said it, we're embarrassed, so we both apologize. Because, you know, I should have known better too. I should have been like, ben, that is Judith Lieber.
A
I know. I was like, how could I have not known the Judith Leiber passport holder.
B
Because girl people love their Judith Lieber. Like, I've never, You know, why would I? I'm an old Navy gay. I don't know anything. But I was like, wow, is it Judith Light? Is Judith Light making these? Cause I've never seen a more famous Judith in my life. Like, yeah, crazy Judith Lieber. Guess what? You're the boss. Don't even anybody ask who's the boss. It's Judith fucking Lieber. That's who's the boss. Yeah, fuck you, Ben. It's Judith fucking Lieber, you fucking loser. Gay people showed up to Ben's door and literally patted him down to find his gay card. And they took it. Ben's not even allowed to suck lemurs. They've taken it away from him.
A
You guys have really no idea how many messages I got. Like, every single day be like, hey, I was just catching up on Salt Lake City and that passport holder. It's actually $600. Here's the link. I was like, how does everyone know about. Who is this? Did it go viral? Was it a thing? Like, why do people know about the passport holder? Like, I would.
B
I don't know.
A
But then again, like, I. You know, I guess everyone knows different things, right? I just. It's so funny that a passport holder landed on so many people's radars.
B
That's huge. And it's even funnier because no one loves, like, global entry and passport issues more than Ben. Like, honestly, Ben has every kind of entry that you can get into every country. He collects them. He's like, are you in this line? I'm in this line. And he, like, moves his shoulders like this to walk over to the line because he's, like, so proud and, like, lines that I've never heard of. And Ben is so. I was shocked that you weren't up on the current glam passport.
A
Well, when you have a line, you don't need a glam passport holder. Baby, Baby. Oh, gosh.
B
It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappens commercial.

So we're at water aerobics and Whitney's like it's actually a great workout and retirees love it. So I thought that Angie and Heather would love it too.
A
Some good old aquarobics shade. So they do. This is what they also did on Orange county last year, I think. Didn't they do some aqua aerobics? So I wonder if it was the same guy. Was it? Did they go to Puerto Vallarta last year when they went on the Mexico trip? I don't know.
B
I keep up with enough. I'm not taking, I'm not, I'm not keeping part of a yard aerobic passport Queens in my brain. I just can't do it.
A
So the girl that. So they do this and they're doing aqua aerobics. And then we see Whitney's like, Angie has zero rhythm because they all have to do this like alligator thing with her hands. Like left, right, left, right. And we see Angie is 100% out of sync. Like all their hands go up and her hand is down. All their hands go down, her hand is up. It was amazing. It was like me, it's all Greek to me.
B
So then now they're like Angie's like, well, you know, the water takes the pressure off. Am I right? Isn't that the whole point of it. And Whitney's like, speaking of pressure, how about Bronwyn last night? Like, I felt bad because it's hard to see one of your friends defeated like that, you know, because we've all been in the. With me. What? Finish your sentence. I wasn't talking. You were.
A
Speaking of pressure. No, don't start from the beginning, by the way. That was.
B
I love water aerobics is for senior citizens. It is also good for your. Your health of your joints. So I thought Heather and Angie would also like it.
A
You went too far. Too far back. Angie, come. I mean, he. Whitney. Whitney forward. Whitney forward.
B
You exploited my vagina.
A
That's too far back.
B
Water aerobics is good for your joints, and senior citizens love it. So I thought Heather and Angie would love it, too.
A
Speaking of pressure, wow, that water aerobics was good. I. It was much harder than I thought. Speaking of harder than I thought. God, Bronwyn. Whitney's Whitney segue into talking shit. So she's like, yeah, I felt bad. She. You know, because we've all been in that position. And Heather's like, I feel bad for her. When she was talking about how the dog bites. All the dog bites, and how Todd wouldn't even come to the er and then we see them talking about the dog bites and stuff. And apparently. Oh, yeah, this is in the flashback. Lisa's like, so were you in shock or were you screaming or were you crying? Like, what was that? Like? Was it like that time I went to Taco Bell and the Diet Coke machine was. Was broken? Oh, the trauma's coming back.
B
It was so weird because I had to, like, drive back with a gigantic Styrofoam cup full of Ranchero sauce to sip on. It's the only way they could calm me. So Bronwyn's like, no, I. You know, here's. I called Todd and I told him about the attack, and he said, it's probably just a scratch. And so he didn't come. And then when he saw the pictures, he said, oh, yeah, that was more than a scratch.
A
Well, when he saw my. The gaping wounds and the pools of blood and the festering rabies in my leg, he thought, okay, well, maybe it's not a scratch. And Heather's like, it is not a scratch, because Heather is.
B
Heather's pretty dramatic for someone who's had an entire body transplant. There's literally. These people on Bravo have literally had everything removed and replaced. They're like, when you're trying to, like, check a car and see if it's a lemon before you buy it. And they're like, everything was replaced with Japanese parts. Is that okay? These are. These are all parts off of Amazon. Are you okay with that? And you're like, I'm totally. I just need something that drives. You know what I mean? So Heather's saying they're used to healing is what I'm saying.
A
Yes.
B
I'm sorry I didn't wrap that up.
A
But speaking of pressure.
B
We'Re so close to Friday. Like, I can't even. We're so far. We're so close, yet so far away from Friday, always.
A
Wait, can I be unprofessional? I need to.
B
Please. What do you think I'm doing over here? Running for president?
A
Speak. Speaking of pressure, I need to grab a water bottle. It's just off of camera, so I'm going to step away for three seconds while I grab it. Vamp. Vamp.
B
Okay, well, guys, Ben. Ben is about to get fired, so I'm going to give you Ben's biggest trauma story. Dun, dun, dun. One time, Ben had to go through the passport line within.
A
Speaking of pressure.
B
Passport by Judith Lever. It was so embarrassing.
A
Wait a second. Wait, wait. Aqua aerobics are good for your joints.
B
Okay, so then, end of flashback, and we cut back to the pool, and Heather's like, they had to show FaceTime video for wounds to get him to come. And, like, Lisa described their relationship like, he's obsessed with her, but I've not seen. Seen that. Like, I think he's kind of mean to her and he dismisses her. And then we see the Bat Mitzvah flashback where Todd's like, I was trying to be respectful, you know? And Bronwyn's saying, well, I told her 10 times that if there wasn't an apology, I wasn't interested. And him saying, well, then why'd you stay? Why didn't you walk away? Geez. I mean, what the hell is going on? If someone didn't want it, you walk to someone else. If someone waves an iPhone in your face, you say, good luck getting lazy fingers from not having to press buttons anymore, you miscreant. And you go to the next door.
A
If you go to a Walgreens and.
B
They'Re out of Werther's, do you stay? No. You go to cvs. Yeah. I love that you come back to Werther's so much. You know, I love Werther's originals. I eat them every day of my life. How dare you Imagine.
A
Imagine if there was, like, something called Werther's fakes. Also, by the way, there is a delicious irony in Todd. There's an. There's delicious irony in Todd, CEO of Palm Pilot. Talking about, like, about knowing when to walk away. I'm like, sir, where are the Palm Pilots? Where are the Palm Pilots now?
B
Yeah. Yeah. This is pretty crazy, you know, but they're gonna. I mean. Yeah, I guess so.
A
I guess it's bad that he didn't go to the emergency room. I'm sorry.
B
Yeah, that's bad. Yeah, that's bad.
A
That's bad.
B
Yeah, that's. Well, look, Todd's an. I mean, Todd is an old grumpy. I've said, you know, I'm not gonna ever stand up for Todd. I think he's an ass. So. Heather. Yeah. It's like.
A
Well, I tried to get the benefit of the doubt. I'm sorry. I tried to give him benefit of the doubt earlier in the season, but it's. It's gone. It's gone.
B
You know, I save that. It's like, you know, it's like when you're checking out at home goods and they're like, would you like to give a little bit of benefit of the doubt to the children of St. Jude's I'm like, no, not really. You do it. You're the giant corporation.
A
Marlon Thomas and Jennifer Aniston are gonna. They were like, jennifer Aniston's like, I was. I was just about to go to the crappies, but now I'm gonna have to back out.
B
I literally doubt that they're sending that money to those children. I don't believe them. And also, they're a giant corporation. How about you donate part of your profits and stay away from me? Guess who I'm donating to? My guest, aquarobics. I'm just kidding. But I do have a good home goods story about that later. Stay tuned. Ben. Okay, so Heather is like, you get pressure. I don't see the respect and love, but I can totally relate because I was in a marriage like that. Okay? You were not. It's not your marriage, okay? So just. This is not time to start rehashing that old man with that old man in a hot tub. Your husband is still somewhere in a hot tub alone, just waiting for someone to come visit. Every time you mention him, I feel sad.
A
He's at a. He's in a hot tub playing a saxophone, hoping he can. He can tell people he's a California raisin. Yeah, no, it's not the same. Well, whatever. I don't care. I Don't know. I actually have no. I don't care. And I don't know why I'm about to just take a stance. I was like, sometimes, like, when you take a stance, I'm like, I'm gonna take a stance, too. And I was like, I have no idea.
B
I don't even know why I'm taking. I just. Literally, you could be like. And then she chewed her fingernails. I'd be like, fingernails? What a loser. Who even chooses her fingernails anymore? I disagree. I'm just disagreeing. Just with anything. I don't care. So she's like, you know, my husband was an asshole to me, and I'm supposed to just be lucky because he didn't cheat on me and he wasn't addicted to drugs, so what's problem? You know? And she's right. That. That. It's not that I'm saying that. Not all that. That's all great. It's just funny because on this show, if one person is like, has a problem, then everyone else is like, well, guess what happened to me? And then they start competing with each other. So I guess it's kind of normal, right? In a friend group.
A
You know what? Your husband used to. Used to. Your husband was the CEO of Palm Pilots. Well, guess what? My husband had a pilot pen, so I know what it's like.
B
Yeah, my. If my husband was a pilot, he would have. He would have taken Brigham Young somewhere. Because I am Mormon royalty and we drove Brigham Young around, so suck it. So then Heather's talking about how she's.
A
So losing our minds, we've lost our minds.
B
Yeah, People should just turn this off, honestly. Yeah, this is, I think, the only show you'll listen to that actively asks you to turn it off. While you're listening, just spare yourself.
A
Do yourself a favor. Just.
B
Here's what's coming up in this recap. More home goods stories. Okay, so Heather's like, you know, I'm wounded from my marriage because I put myself in the back seat and I pandered to him. And regardless of how I was doing that I was betraying myself. And so I can't stand dismissive husbands. And I agree with her. You know, that sucks. And it does suck for Darwin as well. Now, here's the. Here's the thing. He's dismissive, but he's extremely wealthy. So sometimes I'm like, okay, you need to put it on a scale. Like, could he treat her better? Of course. Will he? Probably not. Is it worth spending $10,000 every outfit and then literally Changing outfits every day. Maybe to some people it is, to me it's not. But to some people it is. But Todd's still an asshole. I'm just saying, you know, you can't always give the advice. Leave him. Because sometimes the advice would lead you to a two bedroom apartment. And I would rather have the clothes.
A
Yeah, I think I would like to stay in that Beetlejuice house and just have fun.
B
You know, I think you imagine all that dog poop in a two bedroom apartment. I mean, then you're really sleeping.
A
Doesn't work. It doesn't work. By the way, when Heather says, you know, in my marriage I put myself on the back seat. That now, now this whole season makes sense because when she met Bronwyn and they were hanging out, Bronwyn was in the front seat and Heather was in the backseat of the car. So no wonder why Heather was, was triggered. The backseat is her trauma space. It all makes sense now.
B
Great point.
A
Yeah. She just has to be in the right row. So.
B
So they're asking about when Mary's coming and all that stuff and now they want to go eat. And Andrew's like, we worked up an appetite. Eh, let us, let us go eat a banana.
A
Yeah, I love that. That's. Now that is some real housewifery right there. Okay, like, wow, I am starving. We just worked out. I am starving. Let's have a single banana that we can split three ways.
B
And then Heather's like, banana. I want French toast and cereal and eggs and sausage and. Which we know she's not going to eat because she's medicated. Here's one thing I want to say as someone who's also medicated. I read a headline the other day that Heather was quitting Ozempic because she was sick of being body shamed and everybody commenting on her body and giving her shit online. You guys, cut that bullshit out. Just cut it out. It's enough now. It's been years of this shit. You don't understand what it's like being bigger and you don't understand what it's like having something that can help you. Just shut the fuck up if you're not suffering from it and leave everybody alone. Stop bullying everybody for shit like that. You don't like body shaming, but it's okay when it's on your terms and you can do it when you're offended about something. But you know what? Some of us need this shit and it really helps. It's like life changing in a way you don't even understand. And that's fine. You can not like it, but stop bullying people about it. It's just fucking mean. And it's stupid, and you look stupid and ignorant. At this point, I'm so over it. And it's been this thing that's been like, okay, for now, what, a year that people have been doing this ever since we. Well, it's longer than that, since we started it. And it's just like, be quiet. Just leave people alone. You don't understand the mental shit you put people through when you do that. Stop. Be nicer.
A
There you go.
B
For Christ's sake.
A
I'm giving you a chance.
B
If you need to take it, then you take it. For Christ's sake, stop listening. Because they're gonna shame you when you're fat, and they're gonna shame you when you're thin. They're gonna shame you when you eat too much. They're gonna shame you when you don't eat enough. They're gonna shame you. Shame you. Shame you. So shame on them. Them. That's what you need to do. Just say them. Yeah, girl. Yeah, take.
A
That's a great point. Yeah, that's a great point.
B
I'm going to go put my little rock pellets out, and you all can just leave me alone.
A
Shame people for their actions. Shame them for their actions.
B
Yes.
A
Okay, so now everyone is. All the girls are. They're going out to a patio and. And there's gifts. Gifts. And Lisa's like, hi, is everyone ready for yacht day? Here's some Vita bags. They have your names on them. So then Brahm, she gives them all a tote bag. A canvas. A nice canvas tote bag with stuff in it. And Bronwyn's like, obviously, Lisa thinks I'm too bougie to function and I'm spoiled. So, like the grateful guest I am, I will accept this gift. But, you know, I'm also wondering, I mean, who would use a canvas bag? Am I right? Like, okay, Bronwyn, this is not. This is not the hill to die on. I think this is like, she's trying to be like, what a ridiculous. Like, I'll be grateful for this totally unusable, lacking in function gift. I'm like. And she's like, what would you use a canvas bag for? Even the producer's like, do you go grocery shopping? She's like, no, I mean, what do you. What do you. Put this on your head? What do you use a canvas tote for? Who would ever use a tote literally.
B
In the same sentence? That she's, like, mad that someone's calling her bougie and spoiled. She's acting like this about a fucking canvas bag that 99% of us use.
A
It's actually. It's actually the most useful gift we've ever seen on any housewives show on Honest. On a franchise where, like, every gift is some string. It's like a. It's like a lotion that no one's ever going to use or some tchotchke jewelry or whatever. Like, a tote bag is an actively useful gift. I want to Vita tote bag. And Bronwyn is like, what do you even use this for?
B
And also, it's a good toe bag because, yes, it is branded, which is tacky, but it says Vita Tequila, and that means Tequila life to anybody. To anybody who speaks the language. So I think it works. Even if you don't know what the brand is. It's like, yes, you're living that tequila life, baby. So, you know, whatever brand I love.
A
I love tote bags. I have too many, and I just want more and more and more.
B
Yeah, I'm not sitting. I'm not taking away our joy.
A
Yeah, I'm not trying to get a free Vita Tequila tote bag. I'm just trying to send it to you.
B
So why not? She's already. She already owes about $700,000 to various vendors. I'm sure she's got some of those lying around.
A
I mean, I still have my bottle of Vita Tequila that I drink from every now and then. So I need the tote pack to go with it. Lisa.
B
God. Lisa, get on the ball. Lisa, you're really slacking over there. Okay, so then Bronwyn does her thing. Okay, so now they pack into the sprinter van, and they're joking around about how Bronwyn's chair is reclining back, and they're, like, shaking her chair. And then Meredith just leans against the back seat and closes her eyes and just does a little bang burp. Five bean salad.
A
Almost drove off a cliff.
B
So she's counting iconic lines as she goes to sleep.
A
Whitney. Whitney, of course, is so obnoxious because Meredith is clearly napping. So when he's like, meredith, Meredith, are you okay?
B
What?
A
I'm just closing my eyes. I didn't sleep very well. Maybe you noticed that when most people close their eyes, they're trying to nap. But thanks a lot for waking me up.
B
Speaking of pressure. So then Britney's like, well, I'm not surprised that Meredith is exhausted today. And then we see a flashback where Heather is talking to Britney. And Heather's like, how are things this morning? And the Britney's like, well, I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of Meredith crying and throwing up. Oh, she was definitely throwing up.
A
And I said, dude, I said, this isn't fair. You're throwing up. But when I throw up, no one pays attention to me. No one gossips about me when I throw up. But when Meredith throws up, we all gossip about her. That's just not fair.
B
What about me?
A

B
And then the girls get to a boat and it's called the best day. So they love that and like oh my God, cheers to the best day ever. And they start dancing and Bronwyn won't dance. So they all dance for Bronwyn and it's awkward. It's as awkward and crackery as we would think. And then Bronwyn's like, you know my, who cares? So then they start talking about summer plans and stuff like that. And so Lisa's like, last year we went on an amazing trip and it was Jack's last trip for us. Wait, hold on. Okay he's over. And then, you know, all the focus is on little baby Henry. Oh, my God. Baby gorgeous. You know, he loves it. He, like, goes on little dates with me and John. Like, he'll go out to dinner with Mary, and then John will take him to do something sporty, and then I'll drive him to. And then I'll have lunch with him in the school cafeteria, and then I'll show up at PE and carry him on my shoulders and say, stop, dad, and take away the ball from Henry.
A
That's the year of Henry. You know, at the beginning of the year. It's been a very challenging year for Henry. In the beginning, I feel like he, like, didn't want to make friends, and he, like, wasn't trying to make friends. But then after being forced to go on several mini dates with me and John, he was like, oh, my God, I need a social life. So it all worked out in the end.
B
Yeah. So now his friends, like, I'll drop him off at the movies and he'll meet his friend John. Or, like, he'll just say, mom, I'm going to dinner. And then he goes to dinner with his friends John and Lisa. You know, he's having a great time.
A
Yeah. And we just, like, love him. We're, like, doting on him. He's like, and how about all of his cologne collection? Oh, yeah, he's up to 15 colognes. I was like, something's going on with the collections on this show. Between the Starbucks cups and the colognes, I don't know. We gotta check in on Salt Lake City. Let's get some better collections.
B
That's a collecting culture. And Heather's like, oh, my God. What about the way he says Jean Paul Gaultier? And she's like, oh, my God. He says it with, like, a French accent.
A
I'm not cutting, yo. Brittany goes. And so it's just. By the way, we're. This is actually kind of nice because Henry was having issues, you know? Like, I still think that story about no one coming to his birthday party is so heartbreaking. And so. And I know it was like, okay, invitations were sent out late, but it's still really sad. And it makes me. It does. Does make me happy. And this is like a. This is actually a nice moment for Lisa. And then Britney just pushes forward, and she goes, you guys, this is so unsupportive because, like, last night I gave you a story about Olivia. And then it was, like, a really big deal. And then it was just like, crickets, and they're all like, who's Olivia?
B
When she was like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Guys, my daughter is finally talking to me. Well, Jared's not. So I called my daughter back for once. So that was. So then Lisa's like, wait, what?
A
She's.
B
You know, last night when I was making that announcement, I was like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Remember? My daughter's finally talking to me after six months. Literal crickets, guys and Brahman Bronwyn.
A
It's like, well, mm, let me give that a little. A little nod, and I'll say. The difference is, I know Henry, and I see him. He's a real person to me. I don't know who Olivia is. I mean, are you just talking about scandal? Because you could. Knowing you, you could just be talking about scandal.
B
Are you talking about Rudy's replacement on the Cosby show because she wasn't as cute. Can. Are we allowed to say that now? Has enough time passed? Are you talking. Was that her name? Olivia? Is that in my head? I'm going to put Rudy's replacement.
A
What if I got that mom from the Sopranos?
B
Now, that would have been a cute replacement for Rudy. Hi, Ma.
A
It's like, you know, wait, this is my daughter.
B
Call yourself a doctor? Please. I've seen better doctors on Bugs Bunny.
A
So Britney is like, yeah, but, like, you know me. This group isn't very supportive of me, and I feel. I. I feel like. Well, we weren't even talking about you. We were talking about Lisa's song. I know, but, like, last night when I made the announcement, remember? That was really hard.
B
Yeah. She didn't replace Rudy, by the way. She just came on after Rudy. You guys, I'm falling down a Cosby show rabbit hole.
A
Are you talking about what's her face?
B
Olivia.
A
Raven Simone. That's Raven, right? Is it Raven Simone?
B
I don't remember. Yeah, hold on. I don't want to say it wrong. You know what I mean? I was young when that show came out, so I don't want to have a Judith.
A
You don't want to have a Judith Lieber moment. I get it.
B
Do you remember when Olivia came out with passports with jewels on them? There was an episode called the Cosby Show. Olivia Comes out of the Closet. What the hell? You know what sitcom titles in the 80s I can't. Yeah, Olivia Simone Kendall is a character in the Cosby Show. She's Denise Huxtable's precocious stepdaughter who's four years. Why doesn't it say that in Big Bold letters right at the beginning. Okay. Raven Simone. Wow.
A
It literally says it in big bold.
B
Isn't that so funny that, like, I know. I totally know who Raven Simone is. I didn't know she was famous from that. I just thought. Thought she was famous from that.
A
So, Raven, that's when that was like.
B
Yeah. Okay, so who's cuter, Raven?
A
I just.
B
Olivia or Rudy?
A
I just want to show you the big, bold letters on my screen. You're like, why don't they have it in big, bold letters? It's literally big, bold letters. It's on. It's on screen. Crap is on demand. Sorry. No.
B
You're such a liar. Okay, I don't believe. Look, no, I'm going to share you what I see on my Google so then I can look smart. I'm a screen sharer now. Who do you think is a screen sharer in this family? Me. I'm the screen sharer. So I'm going to show you right now. That's my wiener. Sorry, everybody. Okay, do you see my screen? This is what. Wait, am I showing you. Am I showing you screen?
A
It's like an infinite loop on.
B
Literally. Nobody cares. Are you guys still listening to this recap? I warned you not to wait. Why are you still here? Okay, look.
A
Wait, wait. Do you want to.
B
Do you see it? Okay, look, it just says. It just says all this stuff. It's like Cosby Show. This is who Olivia Kendall is. Cosby Show. Olivia comes out of the closet. Nowhere does it say Raven Simone. I feel like she should sue Google. Oh, played by Raven Simone right here. Okay, whatever. It's small. It's small, bold letters. Whatever. You guys get off my ass, okay? Judith Lieber. Ben, you don't know who Judith Lieber is?
A
You know what? Can I. Can I tell you something? Wait, look at this. Look at this picture of Raven Simone. This is actually kind of an amazing thing right here. I'm bringing it up right now. Present. Here it is. Oh, wait, it's Judith Leiber, everyone.
B
It's Judith Leiber. That's so Judith.
A
That's so Judith.
B
Okay, back to the show. Okay, so Britney's like, yeah, I mean, come on, guys. No one's paying attention to me. And they're like, we don't even know your kid. You know? And Angie goes, yeah, yeah. And we weren't even talking about you. We were talking about Lisa's son. And she's like, well, I know, but last night when I made the announcement, Angie's like, not to be rude, but we were Just like in this moment about Henry and Colons and him being an only. And now you turned it on to you. And she's like, well, my feelings were hurt. And Lisa goes, britney, Britney, hey, look, Britney, I want to tell you something. What? It's weird. It's weird. It's weird by me.
A
No, but, like, I give you good news about Jared and me, and I give you good news about my daughters, and it feels like none of you are supportive with the good things in my life. I mean, it's a really, really big deal for me. Have you ever seen the Blue Corn Moon?
B
No.
A
And.
B
Brittany, nobody likes you. And your stories are thirsty and attention grabbing, and all you're trying to do is get attention. You're a terrible person, okay? You're not even really dating that guy. And your kids don't like you. You choose men over them, okay? You're a terrible mother and you're not a nice person. So be quiet over there and stop dinging your goddamn glass, okay? Jesus Christ.
A
Britney just. Is she. She's just so clunky with her housewifery that she just doesn't realize how clunky she is. And the bar is low on the show again, we have Whitney Rose. Speaking of pressure. And if you can't even, like, get up to Whitney's level of clunky, like, Whitney is like, base level clunkiness. Like the base amount of clunkiness you're allowed to have in order to do, like, have acceptable housewives moments. And Bruni can't even get to that level. You just have to just put in some more effort and do some more, you know, just study it like the way you studied to be Ariel in Disney Tokyo. Okay? And then you'll get there. Brittany put in the work.
B
Ariel flopped around less. So Bronwyn's like, do you like the idea of telling us you have an announcement or do you just. Just like the idea of seeing your daughter? And it's. Which, by the way, so good. Is so rude, but also so spot on of an analysis because we're all thinking that Britney's always just trying to come up with an announcement to get. Congratulations.
A
Mm. So Brittany's. Brittany's like, bronwyn, you are a. And Bronwyn's like, well, do you have anything else to say? She's like, I mean, why are you such a troublemaker? She's like, oh, no, I'm.
B
I'm looking at you, Lisa.
A
Oh, you, Lisa.
B
She goes, I'm looking at you, Lisa. Because she's not even Gonna let Britney have this fight. She's like, we're not even gonna fight with you now. I'm gonna fight with Lisa because you called me a fucking bitch, and Lisa's not standing up for me.
A
So she's like, it turns out this was actually all a ploy. This was all a ploy to make Lisa fall into a trap. Like, will Lisa defend me right now? She's like, let me. Let me push Britney to the edge. That way Britney says something mean about me. Now let's see if Lisa defends me.
B
Yeah. So then, by the way, she does not defend Lisa. This is such crap that this is another lie at Bronwyn's that she's constantly defending Lisa. That is not true. She's very lightly been like, I don't have that experience with her, but she's never been like, don't speak to my friend like that. Don't speak about my friend like that. When everybody's coming at Lisa, which is every single episode. She's not like, you stop talking to Lisa like that. Liar. Liar, liar. So then she's like, lisa, we've been friends for 10 years, and you have let this woman call me a gold digger, a trophy wife, a fucking bitch, a dumb bitch.
A
Sorry, I got tangled in my. My carpet.
B
So did Lisa. Lisa's like, ah, I let her do it.
A
What?
B
So Lisa's like, what? Wait, what did I let her do? Wait, I'm not. I'm not responsible for defending. What's that? Lisa first is shocked, but then she's like, oh, I'm fighting now. Okay, sure, I'm not responsible for what? Other people's death. I'm not respons. Buffer, but other people die.
A
Meanwhile, the first three seasons of this show was around Robin of people accusing other people of not having the back. I'm your ride or die. I will ride or die. You're not being ride or die for me. I'm your ride or die. You've got to be ride or die. You're not my ride or die.
B
You didn't have my back.
A
Like, this whole show was built on complaining about other people not having each other's backs. So then Lisa being surprised that Bronwyn's just going to enter the fray and pull, like, the standard Salt Lake City card. And she's like, wait, what? Because. Although, on the other hand, the whiplash or the. The pivot from, like, nice scene talking about Henry to. All of a sudden, Lisa is done something terribly wrong, and she didn't even realize.
B
It's pretty Funny, I have to say, you know, I think this is why Bronwyn falls a little flat with me, is because this has been every season of this show, and I think that she's watched every season of this show, and she's just pulling storylines that it's just. Like, we've already seen it. Like, we don't need your version of it. And it's ridiculous. It just doesn't make any sense. So in my humble, ever so humble opinion. So she's like, you and I had a private conversation. When I have said to you, I feel vulnerable and I feel alone. And I have said to you multiple times, I've taken you aside by myself and I've said that this is bullshit, but I've stuck up for you. She's like, oh, of course you have, Lisa. And then Lisa's like, dude, I'm exhausted with you. Like, I'm just like. I don't think she spoke for a lot of us. I was like, you're too. Like, just be quiet. Can we just have one day of you not being offended? Just one hour of you not being offended by.
A
Son, I'm trying to be a great friend to you. And there's, like, nothing good enough. Except when I tell you that I don't feel close to you and you don't fucking care. Lisa. Bronwyn. Lisa tells us, bronwyn, you're a big girl. I don't know why every time you're in a fight with someone, I have to be in a fight with them too. I don't expect you to be in fights with everyone that I'm in fights with. Or trust me, you would have no.
B
Friends that she smiles at the camera like, bitch.
A
Meanwhile, fast forward to Angie and Meredith at the end of the episode and Lisa jumping in on Meredith's behalf. So she's like, I don't understand why I have to be. If you're fighting with someone, why do I have to be involved? And later on, she, like, happily inserts herself.
B
Yeah, well, but she's earned it, too. Meredith and have Lisa. Meredith and Lisa have been through more of the fire. And this girl Bronwyn is constantly like, whether you like or not, like Bronwyn. And I know to Lisa, most, to most people, Lisa is the villain, you know, And I wouldn't even disagree a lot of the times, but Bronwyn has clearly been shitting all over Lisa this whole, like, she's been finding a reason to fight with Lisa and turn everyone against Lisa every episode this season. So the fact that she's like, how dare you? I thought we were closer than this. What are you talking about? You've made yourself a fucking victim. Like you're throwing yourself in front of Lisa's car every episode. Just get out of the crosswalk, ma'am. Eventually someone's just gonna drive over you. You know, cars are very strong.
A
A lot of people have been saying that Lisa's been getting the villain at it this season. I don't know. I don't know if there is a villain this season. I think they're all just. They're all just stepping up to the plate, going after each other. They, like, do their time and then someone else comes up. So I don't know. I'm not getting villain. I think Lisa's just being Lisa.
B
Yeah, but most. Most people. Everyone's like, I shouldn't say most people. What do I know? But a lot of people are driven crazy by that, you know, because. But that's why I love it.

Hosts: Ben Mandelker & Ronnie Karam
Publisher: Wondery
In Episode #2661 of Watch What Crappens, hosts Ben Mandelker and Ronnie Karam dive deep into Season 5, Episode 14 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (RHOSLC), aptly titled "Todd Bedfellows." This episode marks the beginning of a two-part recap, where the duo dissects the latest drama, character developments, and standout moments from the Salt Lake City housewives. As always, Ben and Ronnie infuse their analysis with humor, sharp critiques, and candid opinions, delivering an engaging listen for both fans and newcomers alike.
Early in the episode, Ben and Ronnie share exciting news about their podcast's future endeavors. Ben announces their upcoming winter break and teases a significant announcement regarding their first-ever Las Vegas show:
Ben [03:24]: "We can now officially say that we are doing our very first ever Vegas show. We are going to Las Vegas... It’s going to be wild and crazy."
Ronnie echoes the enthusiasm, highlighting the pre-sale for Patreon patrons and the public ticket sales scheduled for December 20th.
Additionally, the hosts mention their expansion plans, including tours in Austin, Dallas, and Charlotte, and hint at future episodes featuring special guests. They also encourage listeners to participate in upcoming voting for memorable moments from the season, directing them to their social media channels for submissions.
The core of the episode focuses on the latest RHOSLC episode, with a particular emphasis on Bronwyn Marqués and her interactions with husband Todd Bedfellows. Ben and Ronnie provide a detailed recounting of Bronwyn's antics and the ensuing conflicts:
Bronwyn is portrayed as the emotional center of the episode, sharing a sob story about feeling sidelined by Lisa Barlow. The hosts criticize her for manipulating situations to garner sympathy, comparing her tactics to those seen in other reality shows like The Bachelor:
Ronnie [05:25]: "She’s a fucking liar, Bronwyn. And she’s gonna fit right in here because you’ve got this show of Whitney’s. Well, Whitney, I guess, is the biggest liar, but you’ll fit right in."
Ben further elaborates on Bronwyn's tendency to dramatize minor issues, questioning the authenticity of her complaints and highlighting her confrontational nature:
Ben [07:30]: "Sometimes you just keep. Need to keep it simple, you know... That's the first time I'll ever go viral. Shut up. This is going to be my tweet. Shut up swings. Am I right?"
The discussion shifts to Todd’s dismissive and uncaring demeanor towards Bronwyn’s concerns, particularly regarding their dogs and his lack of support during an incident where Bronwyn was bitten by a dog. Ronnie and Ben express frustration with Todd’s actions, portraying him as an unresponsive and selfish husband:
Ben [11:18]: "Are you dying over the text I sent you last night? Well, here's what's going on here... So you're gonna fit right in here because you’ve got this show of Whitney’s."
Ronnie [14:50]: "We should play that at the end of this episode. Just so just in case... James is an asshole and he's canceled and we're not trying to uncancel him, but he did have a real banger a few years ago."
A significant portion of the recap zeroes in on Karen Huger’s recent DUI incident, which has stirred considerable controversy. The hosts dissect the leaked footage of Karen in the patrol car and at the police station, mocking her behavior and attributing her actions to intoxication:
Ben [16:29]: "Do you have a tissue? Do you have a tissue?"
Ronnie [17:05]: "She's just like... she just sounds horrible because he doesn't know what she's talking about. Grandam, you know, any old name given it to me and he did it."
Ben [17:58]: "She may be guilty of this. We all know that she is now officially guilty of this. But something else she is also guilty of is art. You know, she's an artist."
Ronnie praises the quality of the DUI footage, calling it the "best DUI video" they've seen, while condemning Karen's actions:
Ronnie [17:57]: "She should not have been driving."
The episode also highlights tensions among the housewives during group activities, such as water aerobics and yacht outings. A notable discussion revolves around Lisa’s choice of gifts, specifically canvas tote bags, which Bronwyn dismisses as impractical despite Ben’s defense of their utility:
Ben [37:35]: "It's an actively useful gift. I want a Vita tote bag."
Ronnie [38:10]: "In the same sentence? That she's, like, mad that someone's calling her bougie and spoiled. She's acting like this about a fucking canvas bag that 99% of us use."
A recurring theme is the strained friendship between Heather and Bronwyn. The hosts critique Bronwyn for constantly creating conflict and dragging Lisa into her disputes, undermining Heather’s attempts to maintain peace within the group:
Ben [55:20]: "Meanwhile, fast forward to Angie and Meredith at the end of the episode and Lisa jumping in on Meredith's behalf... Because we’re all thinking that Britney’s always just trying to come up with an announcement to get... You're just trying to get attention."
Ronnie [56:17]: "I think this is why Bronwyn falls a little flat with me, is because this has been every season of this show... And it's ridiculous. It just doesn't make any sense."
Throughout the episode, Ben and Ronnie interject their personal opinions, often laced with humor and sarcasm. They particularly criticize Bronwyn’s manipulative tactics and Todd’s lack of support, while also addressing viewer feedback regarding their previous comments about Lisa's gifts:
Ben [19:03]: "Now we know the truth."
Ronnie [20:16]: "Now we fucking know. And you know what? We're embarrassed, so we both apologize."
They also delve into a tangent about Judith Leiber passport holders, showcasing their willingness to correct themselves based on listener feedback:
Ben [19:56]: "I don't care. I Don't know. I actually have no. I don't care."
As the recap concludes, Ben and Ronnie tease the continuation of their analysis in Part Two of the episode. They hint at further discussions on the interpersonal drama, upcoming events in the show's narrative, and possibly more critiques of the housewives' behaviors. The hosts wrap up by thanking their premium sponsors and encouraging listeners to stay tuned for the next installment.
Ben [56:45]: "Hey, everyone. This is the end of part one of this recap for part two."
