Guess what happens when there's so much that crappens. Hello and welcome to Watch what Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. I'm Ben Man. Joining me today, Ronnie Caram. Hey, Ronnie, what's going on?
Ronnie Karam
Hi. How are you?
Ben Mandelker
Just fabulous. Just fabulous. It's another, another day in the life of the podcast. We've had really such a tremendous, tremendous whirlwind week. We are here today to talk Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Tomorrow night we are in Salt Lake City and we are so excited. Salt Lake City just won our crappy for best show of the year. And on top of that, Angie Katsanevis won for best Bravo Liberty, which was huge. If you want to see that entire ceremony including Ronnie singing as Dorinda to Sunset Boulevard, be sure to go check out the the stream of it which is available for another 10 days or so. It's on Kiswee, our website watcher. Crappens.com is where you can get link where you can find your link to watch the Crappies. I really, really recommend it because once it's gone, it's gone. Also it's where you can get your tickets for Salt Lake City and then Denver the next day. So tomorrow night in Salt Lake City we are going to of course recap the final episode of the Salt Lake City reunion. I mean, what an honor to do Salt Lake City in Salt Lake City. Last time we were in Salt Lake City, Heather and Meredith and Seth came to our show. So very excited for what may happen tomorrow night. And then on Friday we are doing Southern Charm. So it's really going to be a great blockbuster way for us to not only end out this week but end out this pocket of live shows that we have done over the past three weeks. So we look forward to seeing everyone there and thank you to everyone who has come to our shows over the past week and a half, et cetera. It's Been a truly, truly wonderful wild ride.
Ronnie Karam
Yes. And then after that, in March, we've got a crazy march for touring. We're going to be in Cincinnati, Ohio, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Toronto, Charlotte, North Carolina, Atlanta, Georgia, and Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia. So we've got a lot of dates coming up that all in March.
Ben Mandelker
Oh, my God. That's going to be great. You know what? Those shows will be amazing because by the end, we're going to be like, from all the traveling, we're. It's. We're just going to be wild on stage. I just know we'll be lunatic. We are. And we're so happy. All those cities. We have always had great shows in all these places. So we can't wait to see everyone again. So, yeah, go check it. Get your tickets. And then there's the usual stuff. Patreon, etc. A bonus episode. We put up Traders. Traders is. We're recapping it. It went up yesterday. So if you want your Traders fix, that's where you find it.
Ronnie Karam
That's. That's where it is. As well as the videos, which we are on today. Okay, let's get on to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. We open this very special episode, season 14, episode 10. It's called Sweet Humm Augusta. And we see a clip. It's a black and white clip, which actually PK's face makes a lot more sense in black and white, doesn't it? He looks like, I don't know, you'd be banging Mae west in some bordello or something. Some silent picnic. And it's 2016, and he's giving a speech to Dorit in front of everybody on a microphone, and he's like, dorito, my darling, as I stand here tonight welcoming our friends and family, it's not just for Funyun. It's an opportunity to confess publicly. You send Pringles up my spine, and I'll never Cheeto on you. I love you dearly, my dear Dorito.
Ben Mandelker
Also, we've just adopted a golden cheese doodle. I was like, I can't think of any snacks.
Ronnie Karam
I can't wait to have little baby curds together.
Ben Mandelker
Like Ben. You have three seconds to come up with a snack. Two, one. Ah, don't have it yet. I'm tired. It's raining in Los Angeles. My brain's not on.
Ronnie Karam
And I can't wait to listen to your word salad for the rest of my. Damn it. I brought salad into this. All right, this marriage is over. I'm done. I'm done. Take anymore poor Grinds.
Ben Mandelker
Am I right?
Ronnie Karam
So I believe this was the speech that he gave her during some. Was it the renewal of their vows or. I don't remember what it was, but I think it was when they were in the JLO house and people had to take the golf carts up the hill to get to the house.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. Is this when they had Boy George hidden behind a curtain, but they told. Because it was a surprise. They told everyone there was a black mold situation, which, of course you. Why would you not tell anyone that at your party? Of course you're going to tell people you have a black mold situation.
Ronnie Karam
I might be getting my. My PK and Dorit parties mixed up, but I'm not really sure. But, yeah, I will never forget the black mold. So then we see another scene in their bedroom where he's like, you look unbelievable. You look radiant. You look gracious. And she's like, thank you, pk. And he's like, I was talking to this knickers bar, actually, but love your sweater, darling.
Ben Mandelker
And then we see Jagger when he was a toddler and everything. And then PK's like, Jagger, what do you think, son? Yes or no?
Dorit Kemsley
She said, what do you think, Jagger?
Ben Mandelker
And Jagger's like, yes. He's like, no. I was asking you about whether I have to buy mummy another car. So let's hope he can say no.
Ronnie Karam
I wish. Jagger's answer to everything is erica sucks. Cause that was my favorite Jagger moment in the world. And he's like, you're the villain until Derek Alan, God bless his heart. But he's such a cute kid. And I'm so glad he's kind of growing out of PK face, because I remember watching this and being like, that poor thing. What a long road to hoe. But it's all working out for him in the end. So Dorit's getting choked up. And then we see Dorit surprising PK for his birthday. And now it's her turn to make a grand declaration of love. And she's like, pk, you bring so much color, so much purpose to me. Life, A life that's seemingly impossible to live if you weren't by my side of potatoes there. I needed to get you to pay attention. So focus.
Dorit Kemsley
I never knew someone so pasty could bring so much color to my life. But there you go.
Ronnie Karam
And then the Beverly beach fashion show.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, we see all the models and everything.
Dorit Kemsley
And she's like, my husband. I was just thinking about my husband.
Ben Mandelker
And then PK walks in, and she's like.
Ronnie Karam
Angeles, imagine walking up and seeing Beverly beach so proud.
Keke Palmer
You're basically corporate America all wrapped up in one fabulous human being.
Ronnie Karam
But like this. You know what I mean?
Ben Mandelker
Bubbly. That was from. That was our most current Dorit sound clip when she met. When she met Bose.
Dorit Kemsley
You're corporate America wrapped up in one fabulous package.
Ben Mandelker
It's like she's like a car that's about to run through a stop sign and just slamming the brakes. Like, she gets so excited, she slams on her brakes.
Ronnie Karam
So all she's thinking about during Beverly beach is her husband. You know, the last thing I want to think about when I think about people in bathing suits is your husband. Okay, keep PK out of this conversation, please. Cover ups, maybe sheets. Fine.
Ben Mandelker
Also, I'm, like, really upset that this random montage, which I don't know why we have this montage right in the middle of season, but sure, I don't know why this random montage did not feature one of my favorite PK quotes of all time. Punta Cana. That's where you go, ladies and gentlemen.
Ronnie Karam
That's where it's at, babe.
Ben Mandelker
That's what it's at, babe. That's where you go, babe.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah. This was one of those things that's trying to convince us that PK and Dorit have this, like, whirlwind romance that we're now missing out on, and they never did. Guys, I'm sorry, but I don't know how much money this man convinced Dorit that he had, but every time she's like, all I think about is pk. I just. I'm sorry, I can't buy it. No, neither can cottage cheese. Who owes money to. Literally. Like, if you've never seen a tub of cottage cheese get its knees broken for past decks, debts to the Bellagio, you're in for a treat to eat.
Ben Mandelker
And not even. Not even the good cottage cheese. The small curd cottage cheese.
Ronnie Karam
Ew. Yes, 5% cottage cheese. Ew, ew, ew.
Ben Mandelker
Skim cottage cheese. You might know. Might as well be eating spackle. However. Full fat cottage cheese. Delicious.
Ronnie Karam
Delightful.
Ben Mandelker
Delicious. I love full fat cottage cheese. Creamy, wet. I love it. I love everything about it.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, me too. I'm a cottage cheese fan. I still wouldn't date PK, though. Okay, so then we get to the home invasion where Dorit's sobbing outside, and PK's like, get over it, babe. Like, seriously, what's wrong with you? And then she's discussing her trauma, and he's like, well, you've been through a really traumatic thing and you also have a lot of fear. That's not rational. For example, every time I come out of the bathroom in my underwear, why do you scream? Well, that's nothing. Music.
Ben Mandelker
And then it's like, you know, there are also elements I don't really consider to be ptsd. I consider them more obnoxious. You know, like, I don't know, telling.
Dorit Kemsley
Everyone that I'm a raging alcoholic.
Ben Mandelker
Yes. Yes.
Dorit Kemsley
That is what.
Ben Mandelker
Is what you are. So then, extremely severe.
Dorit Kemsley
Out of control alcoholic.
Ben Mandelker
So then we see a clip of Dorit talking to Kyle, saying, I started.
Dorit Kemsley
To feel, is it possible that PK and I would not make it? You know, ever since. Ever since the supermarkets stopped carrying pickle chips, he's been in a foul mood, and I'm just not sure we're gonna.
Ben Mandelker
Go all the way.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, it was a real shocker that a man who left his family to get with some young blond chick is now leaving his family. Again, shocker patterns. Okay, Pick better, Get a better picker. Now, that said, I like to read. And I do feel bad for her, mostly because she's going to be poor now. I mean, she was poor with PK2, but he had a way of faking it that I don't think she's learned, you know?
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. So now we fast forward to now, and we're at Kathy Hilton's home and Dorit bows. Kathy and Erica are eating dinner and discussing her divorce. And Bose is like, do you not think he still wants to be married to you and Doritos?
Dorit Kemsley
Like, no. No, I don't. And I know this. If I have to go to war, I will go to war. Now, which country will I be fighting for? I'm not sure. Depends on what my accent is that day. But once you get to that headspace, it's not going to be easy to pull back.
Ronnie Karam
And Erica's like, ding, ding, ding. Get out. Get out. So one week earlier we're at Kyle's house, and Kyle's trying to wash one of her gigantic, hairy dogs. And she's like, storm, why do you smell disgusting? God, Storm, stop running away. I'm like, she wants to hose him off, but she only watched his back. She didn't even wash the sides. Get. I mean, girl, just hire somebody. You're rich as hell.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, hire someone. Or, like, give the dogs to someone who knows how to take care of these things. These dogs are always running away from her. She has their. They're totally out of control. They eat everything inside. Like, look, I know dog. Yes, yes, Dogs eat Everything. But these dogs are particularly out of control, and she always is acting like it's so charming. Remember when they went to, like, Palm Springs or, like, hint or something, and that dog was just eating everyone's sandwiches? That is not charming. Like, get your dog to finishing dog school, okay? Because you don't know how to control your dogs. And now you get this dog with a soapy bag running around everywhere. Like, you don't. You're not a dog. You were not equipped for dogs. You were not a dog person. I know dog people. I see Ronnie. I see other friends. They know how to deal with dogs. But your dogs keep running away from you because they know you're not. You're not their people. So, like, just give it up. Okay, we get it. We get it. Like, you're not. Okay? We. You did the Lisa Vanderpump thing. You did the sw. You got the dogs. You tried everything, okay? You became friends with PK over to read. You did the Lisa Vanderpump thing. It's over. Okay, let's take down. Just. Just go into your. Into your foyer and stare at your neon art and call it a day.
Ronnie Karam
Go work on your salmon. That's what I say.
Ben Mandelker
Yes. Actually work on the salmon that could. You definitely need to work on that. Yeah.
Ronnie Karam
So now we go to Martin Lawrence Blood fabrics, and Erica's with Martin Lawrence, and he's like, your total for this is 30 shadow 7000 individually wrapped bell peppers from Fresh and Easy.
Ben Mandelker
Oh, I've been storing them in my freezer. I hope that wasn't too much of a shock for you. Okay. Now, I enjoyed the little Dorit. The history of Dorit, and PK montage that we had at the top of this episode for no good reason. But I think I would have liked some of that time dedicated to more Martin Lawrence Ballard. Like, how are we just relegating him to this little clip? We need, like, full scenes of him every episode.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, I need more of him as well. And she's like, well, that feel expensive, but I got the money. It's not like I got a hook on Sunset for it or nothing.
Ben Mandelker
He's like, well, I also bought you some wallpaper from Injun. It's gonna cost you 45, 000 extra dollars. Sharon Osborne recommended it.
Ronnie Karam
Oh. Then we go over to Kathy's house, and she has an IV Strapped to her, and she's calling Bose, and there's a woman, you know, puffing her arms, rubbing lotion all over her. There's another woman doing. Woman doing her Hair, Another one pulling her. Her head back with the chip clip just to keep the forehead up. I mean, the woman has everything. I was trying to add up. How much does this cost? How many people could you feed? How many of Kyle's dogs could you rescue with that money?
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. Every time we like this, every season, they. Kathy's doing something else. Like, one season, it's Kathy lying in bed with a big box fan, but this season, it's like Kathy in her, like, cryogenic chamber being, like, resuscitated. Like, watching her, like, daily maintenance in that chair is so fascinating to me. It feels like some sort of, like, Cronenberg, like, sci fi gross, you know.
Ronnie Karam
And it's just more and more every time. I mean, she's gonna eventually just have one of those full, like, car washing machines, you know, where the. The big things come out and, like, a little squeegee comes down and starts working on her face. I mean, by the end, she's just gonna be ahead, you know, she's going to be, like, on a bowling ball sack that they're just polishing.
Ben Mandelker
I fully, fully can imagine Kathy Hilton just, like, plopping down her chair in a car wash and just going through it. Like, everything you just said. Like, the things flapping at her face, and then the metal thing at the end that's, like, right up her head. She's like, okay, that got rid of all the dead cells.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, just take her out back, vacuum her off, call it a day, hang.
Ben Mandelker
A little pine tree on her and send her off.
Ronnie Karam
Why do I smell like coconuts? Like the pina colada smell? So she's having a party, a little dinner party, and she's inviting beaus, and she's like, so, what are you wearing around your neck? Are those puka shells? Are they pearls? What's going on there, dear? And she's like, these are diamonds, honey. Oh, okay.
Ben Mandelker
And then we go to Sutton's house, and Garcel is there, and they're just saying hi and everything and talk about their clothing. There's a lot of highs you have to sort of wade through. Sons goes, well, I want to see if maybe you would come with me to Augusta and meet my mother. And Carcel's like, oh, my God, Reba. This monster of a woman that created you. It'd be my honor to say to her, no, no, no, Reba.
Ronnie Karam
And miss the opportunity to see the ground zero of your emotional terrorism? No, I'll be there.
Ben Mandelker
I'm a little nervous about your mom, but other than that, I'M really good. Well, now, listen. I love my mother, but she's very difficult. Yes, Sutton, we see how you turned out. We understand. You don't have to say that part out loud.
Ronnie Karam
My mother and I have sort of found ourselves in a bad place in the past 10 years. And then we see a picture of Sutton and Reba embracing, but then we see a flashback where she's crying and she's saying, I know my mother loves Christian. She says that. But does she love me? She loves Christian's money. You know, I love Christian's money. I don't even fucking know the guy. And I choose him over you. I mean, what, do you have a cute. Why take your dog? I take your dog. You've got Ari and an empty house. I will take Christian's money any damn day of the week, okay? Shit, I'd take Christian's money over half the people I know.
Ben Mandelker
I have been resentful about my mother's praise on Christian even after we were divorced. Oh, did you see Christian did this in the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times? And I'm like, yeah, but do you remember my store in West Hollywood? Give me some praise. Well, okay, okay. I am not going to take away from you sudden that your mom is very difficult. And your mom should be praising you and giving you love.
Dorit Kemsley
Like, when someone does something that's in.
Ben Mandelker
The Wall Street Journal, like, I do think it's, like, slightly more impressive than, like, the little boutique you opened up. Oh, Hellmont.
Ronnie Karam
Oh, no, I'm sorry. No, sir. No, sir. That is your mother taking the side of the man. Oh, hell no. I would.
Ben Mandelker
Well, no, I'm just saying in general, like, I feel like it's. I thought, well, this was when they were married, though, right? Or no. Oh, no, the store came afterwards.
Ronnie Karam
No, the mom's still bragging about his ass. She's like, hey, honey, you know what Sutton really should have done if she was smart and she really needed validation from her mother is just name the store Christian. Because then her mother would be like, oh, my God, Christian's doing so well. You know, Christian is such a success. And Sutton would be like, oh, my God, thank you so much, Mother.
Ben Mandelker
Listen, it's shitty that the mom is even talking about Christian to Sutton, but there was something about Sutton saying this that felt like she was, like. The implication was that, like, her storm was. Hollywood was, like, as oppressive as, like, these. These giant. Whatever things are happening. So, like, I just thought it was funny also because, like. Like, I just feel like Sutton just shows up to the store for the show and then she like does her scene and then goes home. Like, I think that sudden, stronger case would be like, yeah, did you see me at Bravo Con? Did you see the fact that I have lines of fans outside the, you know, like, lining up for me at Bravo Con, signing autographs and I'm famous now and I'm on tv? Like, that's a stronger case than like, did you see my store? It's Hollywood.
Ronnie Karam
I don't know. Because the mom seems attached to material things. So I think she would get a store, whereas the BravoCon thing I think would make her throw up. I think she's probably so mortified that her daughter is on the Real Housewives, you know, that's probably. She just seems like that kind of snob who's like, we are private people, Sutton. Private people. Private dancers. Dancers for money. Do what you want me to do.
Ben Mandelker
Me to do.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah. I mean, you buy one plantation house for a woman and she's yours forever. Jesus Christ, Reba. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappin's commercial. Today's episode is sponsored by Acorns.

Garcelle Beauvais
Everyone out there should listen to small town murder. You really should. Mainly because you never who's next door? And that's. That's the point of this show, really? You never know who is next door. You never know what's going to happen on Small Town Murder. That's what makes it so wonderful. The only thing you do know is that people are going to die.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah.
Garcelle Beauvais
And we're probably going to make jokes about it. That's it. That's all we can promise you. We dig into these towns, we see what makes them tick, from local legends to scandals they may have had, and of course, the biggest scandals of all, horrible murders that take place there. And we put our. What I feel is completely appropriate comedic spin on the whole thing. And, you know, you need a laugh right now. So get in there, Listen to Small Town Murder, Follow Small Town Murder on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen to Small Town Murder early and ad free right now on Wondery.
Ronnie Karam
So then Sutton's like, well, I'm going to see my mother, and I thought you might want to join us. And she's telling Kyle now. And Kyle's like, me? You want me to come? I'm going to come to this, too. So I guess Kyle just please don't bring a dog. Okay.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. That's sort of surprising that Sutton is bringing Kyle, but I think it's A, she wants to flex and show this big house that she has down in Georgia, and B, she's in a fight ultimately with Dorit, so she has to unfortunately be on Kyle's side. So this is who she's got. But we're. Or. And see, Jennifer Tilly must have been busy, because this was clearly a Jennifer Tilly slot that Kyle took up.
Ronnie Karam
Or her mother's just like, not that Jennifer girl. I swear to God, if you bring that Jennifer girl. Because, you know, Jennifer is like, oh, my God, what a lovely doll that you've got here. What's her name? Reba. Put some champagne in her hands. Hey, hit her on the head with this person shaped like a bow. Dolls love the. Ow. That. Get that little mogul out of my house.
Dorit Kemsley
I really love your asymmetrical hairline. That. Those bangs, they're very much like Glenn Close in that horror movie. I thought you looked fab. That was that character based off of.
Ben Mandelker
You never have her back here.
Ronnie Karam
I'd love to show you one of the films I've starred in. It's called Bounds.
Ben Mandelker
That's. There it is. That's what? That's. That's. That's. That was the moment where Jennifer Chile was uninvited. Well, I'm gonna see this. I want to see what sort of feature films this Oscar nominated actress was in? Okay, this one.
Dorit Kemsley
Child's Play.
Ben Mandelker
Oh. Oh, this. I don't. Okay, bound. This one's more correctly. Oh. Oh, yeah. She's not invited anymore.
Ronnie Karam
Sutton's like, it's so fun, Augusta. I mean, it's a special place. I even have a porch. So we can just sit on the porch and we can use the BB gun Daddy bought me to shoot maids as they go home from work. Great times. Great times.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. Yeah. I love Augusta. They've got a tiny little airport, which we'll get to. But when she brags about how she loves at the airport. So small. I've never heard anyone ever say that. Well, we all like a small airport, like Burbank Airport that you can go in and out of, but when they get too small, that's not good. I hate a teeny tiny airport because then you go. Because you have to still get there at the same amount of time as a regular airport, but you don't have any amenities. You're just sitting there in like a plastic chair, like, uncomfortable for. For 90 minutes.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, there's nothing to eat there. I do like the El Paso, Texas. That's where I'm from. And I love their airport. It's small. Ish. It's gotten a little bit bigger over the years, but they have a knife shop. Shop. You know, there's like tacos and. What?
Ben Mandelker
They have a knife shop in the airport. What happened?
Ronnie Karam
Turquoise. You can get a knife. It's like 9, 11. Never happened.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. Yeah, that's.
Ronnie Karam
It's wild.
Ben Mandelker
Oh, gosh. So where are we here?
Ronnie Karam
She's like, well, Garcelle and Kyle, they're the perfect women to take with me because basically both of their mothers have passed. And I can say, well, what's worse, this one still living. Sorry, that's so dark, but I did think that was a little odd. And actually, I didn't think of it until I read it in a comment on Reddit where they were like. She was like, why would they be the perfect ones to take when they're mothers of both? It's just such an odd choice. You know what I mean? Because when you complain about your mother, and I've made this mistake before because, you know, my mother and I complaining about each other is our pastime. That's just what we do. It's in our DNA. My grandmother was the same way. And that's just how we. That's how we love. You know, we bitch about each other behind each other's back and to each other's face, to be fair. But you're not supposed to do that in front of people who have lost their parents. Like, it's so disrespectful. And so it's weird that she's like, you know what? I'm gonna take two of the people who have suffered the worst loss that a child could suffer to meet my mother, and let's see who's got it worse.
Ben Mandelker
Well, I have to assume that she was thinking, you know, they have not had any sort of, like, motherly. They haven't had motherly energy in their. In their life recently. And so this way, they can remember what it's like. Sometimes people do that. But it's weird to do that with Reba when Sutton's like, she's tough. She doesn't love me. She loves my ex. She actually doesn't even remember my name. Anyway, I'm gonna introduce her to my friends, and they can get her maternal instincts.
Ronnie Karam
I can kind of understand the Kyle choice, because Kyle's mother was a battle axe, too, from everything that we've read about her. So it might be a fun competition to be like, well, my mother loves my husband more than me, and Kyle could be like, well, my mother loved Justine Bateman more than me. So who wins? Well, my mother tried to poison one of my ex boyfriends, really? Because my mother fed nails to one of her ex husbands to try and kill him.
Ben Mandelker
So I think for Kyle, it's purely just a flex. Like, look, Kyle, I'm gonna show you just a sad house I happen to have that has columns. Wait, how much do these columns cost? So let me show you one of.
Ronnie Karam
These houses how they were originally built. Kyle. Okay, you have the Universal Studios version of my house.
Ben Mandelker
That's because I was in Halloween. I'm a working address. Huh?
Ronnie Karam
We didn't even have to pay anybody to build mine.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, exactly. So Garcelle is like. She's like, well, you want to be gentle. She is 82, after all. And so I goes, oh, well, wait till you meet her. She does not need to be treated with kid gloves. More like a. More like a one of those electric prods that treated the velociraptors within Jurassic Park.
Ronnie Karam
Let me tell you, I've known a lot of people who have met Reba, but there hadn't been one of them that didn't feel like Newman in Jurassic Park. When that woman met their gaze.
Ben Mandelker
She'll spit on you. So Kyle's like, yeah, she's not giving me feeble. Vibes.
Dorit Kemsley
Oh, no, she's not feeble.
Ben Mandelker
She is not. She is not feeble, Bryson. So Kyle is like. She's like, well, we best get to work. I'll bring some psychology books. So they all laugh. And then we go to Dorit's house, and Bose comes over and Bo's like, hello, my darling. We're matching. And guess what? I invented matching. You're welcome.
Dorit Kemsley
She said, well, you're such a vision.
Ben Mandelker
Okay, let's sit down, girl, because we need to talk. So this is Winnie. Who is this one? This dog over here? That's Pumpkin. Winnie, Pumpkin. I don't care. I don't like either one of them. So we had so much fun at the beach. Do you want to talk about how much fun you had at the beach?
Ronnie Karam
And so we see fun times at the beach. And then we come back and Dorit. We see the flashback of Dorit saying, this morning, Chiggar said, are you and daddy divorced? There's no sour cream and onion chips in the pantry. Does that mean Daddy's not coming home? Because usually that's his bat signal that it's free to come home. He can smell them from London. It's crazy.
Dorit Kemsley
Normally, if I just put some Rotel and Velveeta in the microwave, he suddenly appears in the doorway.
Ronnie Karam
It's like saying Beetlejuice three times.
Ben Mandelker
May be calling me.
Ronnie Karam
So Dorit's like, well, you knew that that day. So then the way she came in, it was like, so brutally. She just shut me down. But honestly, shut up sometimes, you know what I mean? I'm sorry. I'm team Garcelle on this one. Just. Just brevity, you know what I mean? Make it shorter, sister.
Ben Mandelker
You have a whole van. You have a whole van. Ride a sprinter, you're going to be able to tell the whole story.
Ronnie Karam
So you got a ride to Ventura county to talk about pk, For Christ's sake. Do we have to do it during charcuterie? Just let me. My goddamn sandwich, woman.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, I mean, wait, were they at Dorit's? It doesn't matter. So Bose is like, well, did you call pka? Did you tell him? And Dorit says, well, what?
Dorit Kemsley
Jaga said? I sent him a long text. I said, I know you're coming back from London soon, and I think it's really a good idea for us to get to a more friendly place, you know, for the kids, and I will be easier for them. And then I never heard back from him. So then a day later, I wrote back. I said, no, Response, pk.
Ben Mandelker
Really?
Dorit Kemsley
No response.
Ronnie Karam
And then he writes back, I'm at your friend's wedding. Have a nice day. Have a nice day. When did I become Vietnamese? Oh, gosh, two years ago, I think. Two years. I mean, it's been like two years that he's hated her, right?
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, it's probably been longer. So she says, I haven't heard a.
Dorit Kemsley
Single word from PK since he stormed out of the office when I ran out of popcorn. And then we were in therapy, and he did that again. And, I mean, I said, pk, you're not allowed to bring popcorn to therapy. And he screamed and left there, too. He said he wanted a divorce, but.
Ronnie Karam
Then he came back and got his popcorn. He said, one person. I'll never divorce popcorn. I knew I should have never made jiffy. He was talking to the corn.
Ben Mandelker
I knew I never should have made some kettle corn while he was gone at the therapist's office.
Dorit Kemsley
The strange. Just instinct now, when you're married to him.
Ronnie Karam
Well, listen, so here's my concern. You need to be prepared because his return from London, it could go left, it could go right. It could go up, it could go down. You know what I mean? That's what we say in business. Yes.
Dorit Kemsley
It's like him trying to stay in the lane. He'll go left or to go right. You know, it's hot with his car.
Ben Mandelker
So she says, like, yes.
Dorit Kemsley
And then he could serve papers.
Ben Mandelker
And Bose goes, oh, girl, what happens?
Dorit Kemsley
I think about it all the time. Him serving papers. I don't want to eat papers.
Ben Mandelker
Why would he serve me that?
Ronnie Karam
So then we go to Bose and Keely, arriving at Boulevard Steakhouse, or as I like to call it. And so they're gonna have some dinner. And this is her date, Keely. Now, I do not get the best vibes from this guy. Like, look, want Bose to be happy. This is not the guy for you. I hate a shirt. Let's just start with the shirt. Hate it. Cheetah. Cheetah print. Nope. I hate his whole tacky, cheesy vibe with her. I hate that he wants her to have three children at 48. That's fucking crazy, sir. Okay, yeah. Also, you're old, too. Just stop it, Al Pacino. Nobody wants your babies running around this old. And no offense, because people can have babies that age. I know that. And good for you. But just dating someone and being like, here's what I expect from you. Three children. Have fun.
Ben Mandelker
No, did he say that? Did he say that when they went on their date on the beach that he wants three children.
Ronnie Karam
I think he said he wants three children. Yeah, that's in my memory. He wanted three.
Ben Mandelker
Well, he better hurry up. He better hurry up. Because she's like, I am in my late 40s. So they're sitting down, they talk, they talk about, talk about relationships and timelines. And she's like trying to find somebody to connect with in LA. In your late 40s? Ah, damn near impossible. So I appreciate my relationship with Keely. We are in our love bubble. Everything is fantastic. We are definitely a Goo Goo, a Gaga, a Boo Boo and a Baba Lala and a Lila. Left, right, left.
Ronnie Karam
She's like, all right, we need to have some conversations. It feels like we're hurdling some things. You know, if we go all the way to fertility. And he's like, like, well, when did you. At what point did you feel I was wasting your time? Because I'm not going to say I'm going to waste your time. I'm not saying that. And she's like. And he goes, do you feel that there's a timeline? She's like, well, I mean, I'm 47. Where are the eggs? They're getting older. I have old eggs and babies don't grow on trees. We've got to get moving. All right, let me tick tock, let me tick tock.
Ben Mandelker
The egg shortage is not just at the supermarket. So let's get this going. All right? Get out of San Diego and come up to la. I'll say that's where probably she feels like you're wasting time because you're still in San Diego. So that would be the first good move would be Hollywood. And she says, well, you know, if I want to carry a baby myself, I don't have a lot of time to do that. And then I don't want to be out of wedlock. And he's like, yeah, no, I mean.
Dorit Kemsley
We'Re on the same page.
Ben Mandelker
You know, I think you're an incredible woman and I love the fact that you're not pressuring me into anything. If I'm not pressuring you into anything, I'm failing my job. Put a baby in me.
Ronnie Karam
No kidding. Like it off the pot, you know what I mean? And she's basically telling him that. She's like, if you want babies, we gotta get married first. So what's up? And he's like, oh, thanks so much for not pressuring me. This dinner is over. Bye.
Ben Mandelker
The next thing that comes to this table better be a baby or the check.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, I mean, I really like her. I think she's wasting her time with this loser. I get get. I get very clear loser vibes from this guy.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. So now we go over to the Oak Tree Gun Club and Shooting Range, which is open to the public. And it's, It's a shooting range. And so Kyle is there with, with Mauricio because he wants her to be equipped with a gun. Knows how to use a gun ever since. Because for some reason it's been seven years, but suddenly they've decided that it's time for Kyle to be better with home security. I guess maybe because she's on her own now. So it's been seven years since they had their home invasion. Honestly. Okay, I know. Gun, gun control, guns, gun rights, all this stuff is a very, you know, controversial topic. People are very divided in this. You know, I have my own views, which I, you know, other people have their own views. But I think one thing that we can all agree on on, like, yes, the Second amendment says we have the right to bear arms, but I think there should be an amendment to the amendment that says, but maybe not Kyle, because guess what? I don't think. I don't see anything good about Kyle having a gun. Kyle Richards with a gun in the middle of the night. That is just not going to end well for anyone. Let's just make that. Let's ratify this constitution and just say right to bear arms. Except Kyle Richards.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah. And you know, there should be certain laws, like we know that there are laws regarding guns and there should be a special law to not be able to have a gun when there could possibly be a Kim around the house. That's it.
Ben Mandelker
Oh, gosh. Kyle with, with those big dogs running around startling her. I mean, she gets startled by everything that moves. I mean, first of all, just for bird safety, she shouldn't have a gun. Okay.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah.
Ben Mandelker
Because guess, guess what those birds are about to around and find out with Kyle and her little, you know, Magnum. So. But she's there to learn how to.
Ronnie Karam
Also, this is such a Kyle scene because she's like, look at me. First of all, she's having some weird scene where she's kind of flirting with Mo. It's like this, like, poor me. Mo doesn't like me anymore. So she's giving that vibe in the scene. But she's also dressed like she's flirting with Morgan and going to a gun range.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah.
Ronnie Karam
Not to be stereotypical, but we never really saw Kyle dressing in this, like, tough girl manner until she started dating. Dating Morgan or Allegedly dating Morgan. And so that's kind of weird. It's like she's flirting with the ex girlfriend. If she was dumped and if they were dating Kyle stories, I can't take them. And so she's. Then she's got the Mauricio thing. And then she's like, look at me. Just a girl. I mean, guns, girls. Yeah. I mean, maybe girls should learn to use guns. But she clearly knows how to use that gun. I mean, you see her use the gun, I'm like, damn, you know how to shoot a gun, girl? That's. That's how I shoot guns. Oh, God. Yeah, it's called the recoil, idiot. I'm like, oh, God. You have to be so strong for one of these. Take me home. And Carl's like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Ben Mandelker
She had to learn for Halloween. You know, I. I thought this whole scene was annoying because, first of all, it felt like two midlife crises colliding. You already just like, you described Kyle's perfectly. And then you have Mauricio, who's like, yeah, I'm like, single and midlife crisis. So he's being, like, all tough. He's got his tight T shirt on, and he does this thing later on in the scene where he, like, for some reason, feels like he needs to climb over the fence and then do the rest of the scene from behind the fence of the shooting range.
Ronnie Karam
I don't see why. Because was it.
Ben Mandelker
Was he hiding something?
Ronnie Karam
He sat up on the table, right, to talk to Kyle, and then she jumped up on the table next to him, and he immediately jumped off the table and jumped to the other side. So I think he's got a girlfriend that he doesn't want to see him. He doesn't.
Ben Mandelker
Well, they're both fucking idiots.
Ronnie Karam
Getting close with his ex.
Ben Mandelker
I don't want to see either of it. Why don't they just stand there like two normal people? Why does one. Why do they both have to sit on the fence? And, like, why are you on the other side of the fence? That's like, you're not supposed to do that. You're at a shooting range. Okay? And it just all was. It just had this annoying bravado. And Kyle's like, well, if I'm gonna defend myself, I hope I look like a badass. And, like, I hate that. Like, I hate that. I hate, like, associating, like, shooting a gun off with being a badass. I think that's such a terrible thing.
Ronnie Karam
Sorry. Well, welcome to America.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, well, that's the problem to skip.
Ronnie Karam
Like 80 of movies then.
Ben Mandelker
I know, I know, but I just feel like, like, defend yourself fine, but, like, I don't think it makes you look like a badass, but either way, it just. Everything annoyed me about the scene. But the thing that annoyed me the most was that we had to sit through an entire scene with guns going off the entire time. They were like, I'm trying to have a conversation. I was like, like, could we have this? Could we have for once moved in? Like, every scene on Bravo, they always start someplace. They're like, let's go inside where it's shadier. And like, this is the one time they decided not to move locations and we had to hear gunshots the entire scene. The audio department must have been losing their mind.
Ronnie Karam
It reminded me of when that Peggy chick. Not Peggy Tanish, which was the one who went on and her first scene was like shooting guns at the gun range with all her tats and her big boobs. Was that.
Ben Mandelker
I think that was Peggy Tanis.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, it was Peggy Tanis. It kind of reminds. I was like, wow, Kyle's going down to Peggy Tanish levels.
Ben Mandelker
Well, yeah.
Ronnie Karam
Yep, there we go. Glad to be here for it. So they go to the shooting range, and I love that the shooting range guy's like, so why are you here at the range? For a muffin lunch, you idiot. What do you think I'm here for? Let's shoot some. I know. Less questions. Bring me the gun.
Ben Mandelker
So they shoot the guns off and everything. And then Mo's like, oh, yeah, no, I'm gonna shoot my gun. Yeah, Because I'm in the midlife crisis. Okay, so then he shoots.
Ronnie Karam
I'm sorry to interrupt you, but you know that Dorit and pk, you know that pk, at the very least was like cringing at this, watching it at home because the guy goes, all right, now here's how you get the magazine in. Slap it like it owes you money.
Ben Mandelker
I've been slapped quite a bit by poor George Fellagio.
Ronnie Karam
Slaps hurt babe commercials. Here comes one right now.
Kyle Richards
UFO lands in Suffolk. And that's official, said the News of the World. But what really happened across two nights in December 1980, when US servicemen saw mysterious lights in the forest near RAF Woodbridge and claimed to have had a close encounter with an actual craft.

Keke Palmer

Ben Mandelker
So they shoot and then Kyle's like, so, like, how's your condo coming together? He's like, yeah, it's like, pretty good. It's like, ts nice. Like, I've got, like, eggs and, you know, like a lot of canned soups. And she's like, canned soups? He's like, yeah, I like tomato. I like whatever. She. I didn't even know they made those sort of things. Oh, well, either way, it's really quiet over in our place. Like, there are doors that we don't even know how to open still. And you're like, in a new place. It just feels new and different from our home. And I'm in, like, the same place. It just feels like it's. It's just like, different. They're crying each other.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah.
Ben Mandelker
And Kyle's hard victim each other.
Ronnie Karam
He's like, I'm eating tomato soups out of cans and maybe an egg. And she's like, the House is so lonely.
Ben Mandelker
She is. She gets crushed, she gets sad, and she's gonna start to cry. And the implication is that she's home alone. And it's sad, but I think she's crying because Mauricio got to get a new place and she didn't get to get a new place. I think that's really what it comes down to.
Ronnie Karam
She even says that at one point. She's like, well, it's not fair. But she doesn't say it's not fair. But she's like, I mean, you. Everything's new for you. You have this new place. And then I'm just in the home. I'm in the home where we all lived. Well, you're the one who didn't want to move. And you're also the one that wanted this divorce. Now here's what's making me crazy about this, as if I haven't said it 9,000 times, because the scene keeps happening in different forms. But it's funny reading online and trying to decipher what people are thinking, because some people are like, oh, he definitely cheated on her and that's why she left and this and that. And from what she's kind of dropped hints about, it's made it sound like that, but she won't outright say it, which leaves it open to all this speculation, which leads me to believe that she was the cheater there. I just. I'm sorry. And I'm sure he's probably cheated multiple times over their relationship, but I think going on Instagram and hooking up with some girl that she liked is what she accused him of. And I just feel like she's a cheater because I feel like if he was a cheater, she'd a hundred percent be throwing him under the bus instead of just hinting and trying to make us believe it.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, I don't know what it is.
Ronnie Karam
Where is Morgan? Did Morgan dump her? Like, what's happening? I need to know what's happening. We have so many scenes with Kyla and we don't know what's happening. Just tell me what's happening so I can stop speculating nonsense.
Ben Mandelker
I think Morgan is busy working on her whiskey still in the back barn.
Ronnie Karam
So she's totally one of those, like, I'll make my own beers in the backyard. Everybody's gotta have a hobby. I'm really trying to work on the hops.
Dorit Kemsley
Sorry, Kyle. Making some moonshine right now. I'll call it back later.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, so. So we see a montage of Kyle and Mauricio's greatest hits for like the 45th time this season. We get it, We've seen it. We don't care. And then Kyle's like, it really is like grieving the loss of someone who is still there. I'm like, I know. It's like, it's. Every time I think about Rinna, I'm like, I feel like she's dead, but I know she's alive somewhere. But she's blocked me, so I don't know, is she alive? Is she dead? Is she dressed like a clown somewhere? Actually, the last one, she is dressed like a clown somewhere. She is.
Ronnie Karam
Exactly. That's exactly the joke.
Ben Mandelker
She is.
Ronnie Karam
She is going to fashion shows. And the most recent article I read on her was this weekend. And it's like, look how many different, how many different wigs that Lisa Rinna wore at the, at the fashion shows. And then it just cuts to different, different shots of Lisa Rinna looking crazy in different wigs. I mean, she's living her best life, you know? You go, girl. That's a.
Ben Mandelker
You know what?
Ronnie Karam
I love her who really got it together, you know?
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. You know what I love about Lisa Rinna? She's not competitive with her daughters at all. Her daughters had breakthroughs as models in fashion and Lisa Rinna, who's had a big career being famous, already was a couple. I'm gonna do fashion too.
Dorit Kemsley
I'm upset.
Ben Mandelker
My daughters.
Dorit Kemsley
I'm gonna do it.
Ben Mandelker
I'm gonna do it. Also really glad that she let you.
Ronnie Karam
Brought up Shannon because I'm wearing a duster today, so. You're welcome.
Ben Mandelker
Wow.
Ronnie Karam
Here it is.
Ben Mandelker
Wow.
Ronnie Karam
A three quarter length sleeve. I got it from the girls section of Old Navy because we're in that kind of a timeline now, ladies and gentlemen. All right, let's go to the. It's duster time. Let's go to the LAXLVP terminal. It's 4:00am welcome to the terminal.
Ben Mandelker
So this is the VIP terminal. So this is like the terminal, like, I guess this is the secret terminal that the celebrities go to where they can just be inserted onto the planes at the last seconds. They don't have to stand around with all us normies. So they're arriving and everything to it and they're, they have like, by the way, for a VIP terminal, it doesn't really feel very VIP in there. It was like you have like some like Miss Vicky's cookies, like brownie, like little bags of like what those brownie crisps or whatever. And like some Twizzlers is like welcome celebrities of Los Angeles. We emptied out a vending machine and give you some items.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah. And it's like, 4:00 in the morning, and I love that Garcelle complains about it. She's like, this is Sutton Strack. I thought we were going to fly private. There's going to be valet. We might even see a manly hand or two in the plane to massage us. I mean, geez, four in the morning with a brownie crisp. Thanks, Sutton.
Ben Mandelker
So Kyle arrives, and she's like, are you the first one here? And it's funny. And. And so, yeah, Garcelle is abhorred about, aghast about the fact that there's no private eye. So then they have to fly commercial to Augusta, and they do just that.
Ronnie Karam
So they arrive in Gusta and Augusta, and Trixie Monocle's like, not a day goes by I don't love where I come from. I come from America, and we're at the Augusta airport, and Avi's there, and Junebug is off a leash, which, yeah.
Ben Mandelker
Girl, what's going on with that?
Ronnie Karam
I'm just saying that to set you off.
Ben Mandelker
Thank you. You know, I love getting set off by this sort of stuff. Like, this is, like, my favorite. I already had a dog. This is what a great episode for me. I've had a dog rant, a gun ran, and now we get to have a bonus dog rant. Look, I'm not that mad at June Bug. June Bug seems like a pretty good dog, but, like, it's a public space, and also, there's, like, doors that are opening. You don't need that dog running off onto the tarmac. Okay? We. This is. We've seen this happen so many times. Like, oh, flights are delayed because a dog got onto the tarmac, and we already have enough issues with freaking birds. Okay? So we don't need dogs. No animals.
Ronnie Karam
So it's not going to listen to Avi. I mean, I think even the dog knows that's the assistant, you know, because Avi's like, come here. You need to come here right now, little dog. And she's like, bye. And she just, like, literally just runs out the door. The next time we see her, she's on a leash.
Ben Mandelker
So, yeah, she. She did wind up on a leash. And what was funny about June Bug is like, she's wearing some sort of, like, fringe around her neck, which I thought was so funny. She's like, well, I'm a southern dog now. Yeah, I'm going to the bar later. I'm gonna do some country line dancing with the other dogs.
Ronnie Karam

The main focus of the episode is a detailed recap and analysis of RHOBH’s Season 14, Episode 10. Ben and Ronnie dissect various scenes, character interactions, and plot twists that define this episode.
The episode begins with a flashback to a 2016 vow renewal ceremony between PK Richards and Dorit Kemsley. Ben provides a humorous take on PK's quirky speech:
PK (03:06): "Dorit, my darling, as I stand here tonight welcoming our friends and family, it's not just for Funyun. It's an opportunity to confess publicly. You send Pringles up my spine, and I'll never Cheeto on you. I love you dearly, my dear Dorito."
Ben (04:43): "Also, we've just adopted a golden cheese doodle. I was like, I can't think of any snacks."
The hosts laugh over PK’s snack-themed declarations of love, highlighting the often over-the-top dramatics of RHOBH ceremonies.
Transitioning to present-day issues, Ben and Ronnie discuss the strained relationship between PK and Dorit, marked by frequent arguments and a lack of effective communication. Dorit expresses her frustrations during a therapy session:
Dorit (10:33): "Everyone that I'm a raging alcoholic."
Ben (10:46): "Yes. Yes."
Ronnie critiques Dorit's portrayal, suggesting her accusations imply infidelity:
Ronnie (45:29): "If he was a cheater, she'd a hundred percent be throwing him under the bus instead of just hinting and trying to make us believe it."
The episode also covers a dinner scene involving Kathy Hilton, Dorit, and Erica discussing Dorit's divorce. Ronnie remarks on Kathy's elaborate self-care routine:
Ben (15:07): "Every time we like this, every season, they. Kathy's doing something else. Like, one season, it's Kathy lying in bed with a big box fan, but this season, it's like Kathy in her cryogenic chamber being resuscitated."
The hosts mock the unrealistic beauty standards and excessive pampering showcased by Kathy, comparing it to a "Cronenberg, sci-fi gross" scenario.
Another significant subplot involves Sutton Stracke her strained relationship with her mother, Reba Hilton. Ben and Ronnie analyze Sutton’s resentment and emotional distance:
Ronnie (17:35): "My mother and I have sort of found ourselves in a bad place in the past 10 years."
They highlight Sutton's conflicted feelings towards her mother's favoritism towards her ex-husband Christian, leading to intense confrontations:
Ben (18:20): "It's shitty that the mom is even talking about Christian to Sutton..."
The hosts turn their attention to Kyle Richards and her unexpected visit to a gun range with Mauricio Umansky. They critique Kyle's attempt to project a tough image:
Ben (35:17): "I hate associating, like, shooting a gun off with being a badass. I think that's such a terrible thing."
Ronnie agrees, comparing it to previous over-the-top moments from RHOBH cast members:
Ronnie (40:24): "It reminded me of when that Peggy chick... Was that Peggy Tanis."
The discussion underscores Kyle's flawed portrayal of empowerment through firearms, deeming it both unnecessary and irritating.
Towards the episode's end, Ben and Ronnie touch upon Lisa Rinna's enduring presence and unique style:
Ronnie (46:33): "She is going to fashion shows... She's living her best life, you know? You go, girl."
Ben appreciates Lisa's ability to balance her career without competing negatively with her daughters, praising her genuine self-assuredness.
