Sasha hated sand, the way it stuck to things for weeks. So when Maddie shared a surf trip on Expedia Trip Planner, he hesitated. Then he added a hotel with a cliffside pool to the plan, and they both spent the week in the water. You were made to follow your whimsical. We were made to help find a place on the beach with a pool and a waterfall and a soaking tub and of course, a great shower. Expedia made to travel.

I would define reclaiming as to take back what was yours. Something you possess is lost or stolen, and ultimately you triumph in finding it again. Listen to Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky wherever you get your podcasts.

Well, hello and welcome to Watch what Crappens. This is part two of a two part recap. If you're like, hey, wait a minute, I didn't hear part one, guys, it's because we put out a lot of recaps. Go back and listen to part one. Okay, it's before this one. Bye. Enjoy the show.
Ben
So they're basically upset because it sounds like Craig said he was going to invest and then he didn't invest and then did something with this other company. Is that what I'm deducing from all this?
Ronnie
He asked Kyle if he could invest in his company, and Kyle said, give me. Give me some time to think about it. And then Craig was like, well, that I'll go invest in this other spritzer company or I don't think he's. I don't know if he's an investor, if he's just paid to advertise it, because Paige makes it sound like he's just being paid to advertise it anyway. But either way, you know, if. If someone from another show that's bigger than yours, frankly, ratings wise, says I want to be part of your thing and also advertise it on my show, then you don't really need to think about it. That's stupid. I mean, just say yes and let me just come up with some numbers or something.
Ben
Which maybe I think that's what Kyle said he did. I think Kyle said. He said, sure, let me, like, put together a proposal for you, whatever. I don't know. You know, this happened to me yesterday. I have to say, I wound up in this exact same situation. Yeah, guys, basically, I was trying to sell some routers. I upgraded my router, my nest router, to the new Generation. And so I was going to sell them. I saw them on Facebook Marketplace. For three weeks, they sat there, and for three weeks, people would message and say, is this available? And I'd say, yes. And then I wouldn't hear from them again, and then say, is this available? And sometimes they'd say, can I come by? And I'd say, yes. And I wouldn't hear from them again because that's just what Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist is. People just say yes, and then they disappear. They ghost. So then on Monday, someone says, is it still available? I say, yes. And he's like, can I come by on Wednesday? I say, yes. I say, come between three and six. He says, okay. And then I book a haircut. So then I say, come between four and six, okay. And then on Tuesday, someone else says, is this available? And I said, yes. He's like, can I come by tomorrow at 4? I said, yes. I'm like, well, what are the odds? Two people are both interested in coming by to get this, to get the routers. But I'm like, they're both going to flake, because that's just the way it goes. So I'm like, yeah, come up for whatever. Then they both decide to come, and they both commit, and suddenly I have to. To choose. I have to choose basically between lover boy and a spritzer. And it was such a mess because one guy. That one guy was like, I'm. I'm like, nearby. And I was like, well, I had already promised it to another person first, but he. I don't know where he is. I'm not hearing from him. So I assume he had flaked. So I said, I'll just come and bring you the speakers. So then I'm driving to go to the Starbucks to bring in the. Not speakers, the routers, the second guy. And then the first guy's like, hey, I'm running late because of the rain. I'll be there in 10 minutes. And I said, oh, hey, I'm already selling it to someone else. And he's like, you already sold it? This is unbelievable. We had a day. We had a compromise. I drove up from Whittier for this. This is ridiculous. And then I was like, oh, God, I feel really shitty. That's bad. Driving up from Whittier, and I saw.
Ronnie
The other guys, money for that gas. Just go buy a fucking router, dude.
Ben
So then I felt really bad, so I was like. So I messaged the second guy who was at Starbucks. I say, hey, turns out the other person who I said, may be coming. They're. They're here. So I'm just going to give it to him. So that second guy was, like, unbelievable. How can you do this to me? I planned my whole day around this. And I had two people on Facebook marketplace so angry at me, justifiably so, because I was being a face Facebook marketplace fuck boy at that point, playing two different people against each other. But then I. Eventually, I was like, nice to meet you.
Ronnie
I thought we had.
Ben
It was like that.
Ronnie
My mom's in short shorts and a blazer.
Ben
But I honored my commitment to the first guy. But the first guy also didn't have even a face on his profile, so I thought he was like, goodbye. I didn't think he was going to show up. So we showed up, and I felt so bad that I had. Like, he was. Because he was outraged, and he showed up, and he was the smiliest, nicest, warmest man, and he was so lovely, and I felt like I gave the things to the right person. But, man, like, I really. You know, I really. I really was.
Ronnie
He.
Ben
I understood the. He wasn't that cute.
Ronnie
No. Did you do it?
Ben
The point is, I. I understand about it. I understand Craig, who was like, you know what? You're taking too long, Kyle. I'm gonna go to a spritzer. Because I did that. And guess what? It's a dangerous game. That's what I have to say. It's a dangerous game. You're gonna get burned. Well, I just really just wanted to tell that story, guys. I just wedged it in there. It had nothing to do with the show. I just want to tell the story about how I pissed off two different strangers on Facebook.
Ronnie
No, I like it. Yeah, you got to be careful on that, because everybody's a flake until everybody's not a flake. Suddenly, it's like, you wake up, the whole world's changed, and everybody's not a flake. Like, what the hell? You can't change it up like that on me. Are you flakes or not?
Ben
Weeks, three weeks. Like, I couldn't get anyone to touch these things. And then all of a sudden, two people both want it. They both want it at the exact same time on the exact same day. And I felt like I was dating. I felt like I was dating, and, like, around. I was. Don't know how serial. I don't know how people do this. I don't know how boys do this, how they can have, like, two people at the same. Like, go on a date with two People at the exact same time. Cuz people do this all the time. And it was horrible. I felt like a. A horrible human being. So I. I had to let that story. I haven't told anyone that story since it happened yesterday. And I just had to find.
Ronnie
How much did you make?
Ben
$25.
Ronnie
I mean, come on.
Ben
You know, honestly, I felt. I felt so bad for the guy who I. Who drove up from Whittier that I told him I was like, honestly, just take this for free. I feel so bad. And he was like, no, no, no. And so he gave me 25. Do. Do you want some Dubai chocolate? I just made some Dubai chocolate. And he was like, no.
Ronnie
And he's like, I just made some chocolate that could kill me if I came out in its country. He's like, no, thanks. I'll take my $25 and put it for a half a tank of gas to get me back a fucking Whittier.
Ben
This is all to say if the second guy who I stood up, Greg, if he gives me a bad review on Facebook, Marketplace, it's deserved. But also, people, if you just see that review on me now, you know, the greater context, the way you could.
Ronnie
Do what Leva did on Southern hospitality and just being like, you guys, you're all full of these reviews are. It's a conspiracy against my husband. Okay? So Sierra is like, wait a minute, we can all invest in lover boy. And he's like, yeah. I mean, minimum bids 25 grand, same as it was in 2019. And Wes is like, I cannot afford that right now. And Sierra's like, that's hilarious. You're hilarious again.
Ben
You're.
Ronnie
You're really funny.
Ben
That was funny. Listen, if he presented it the way he described, that would have been one thing, but, like, he's a fucking liar, okay? And I've been like, taking fucking shots like, one after another. Like, I'm happy to talk to Craig about it. Like, quite frankly, it's a moot point. I thought we were closer than this. By the way, you're taking shots left and right because you're actually physically taking shots and you're wasted right now. But also, like, you're. You're the one amplifying all these grievances that you have. Like, no one in the world cares what beverage Craig is backing right now. And no one really thinks less of you or lover boy because of it. But because you're going onto a national platform, watch what happens live this show and bitching about it. Now we're all. Now we're all Thinking about it, wondering about it, and questioning you and your company.
Ronnie
Yeah, it's just weird. It's a weird fight. Like, who cares? Isn't your. Didn't you say last year your company's losing a ton of money anyway? Why would he want to just leave the man? Let him invest. And I'm no Craig fan at the moment anyway, but, like, who cares? This is all stupid. Craig is a lot has nothing to do with Paige. You know, she's like, wow, I thought we were closer than you texting me just to be rating my boyfriend and my best friend. That's how I'm just like. But that was her. I was hurt. I'm only human. You know, that's always Kyle's thing when he's wrong. He's like, but I'm human. I'm only human.
Ben
Danielle's like, kyle, Kyle, Kyle. Is there any truth to what she's saying? Come on. He's like, yeah, dude. And she's like, come on. Well, she was like her about your texting to her last week. And I think that's what it is. It's like our business partner. Like, what I'm concerned about is that if she believes what she's saying, Kyle, you're not gonna ever get between Paige and Hannah or Paige and her boyfriend. It just doesn't work that way. This is a fool's errand and you should be smarter than that.
Ronnie
And Paige is up now and walking away. You know, she's like doing her strut away. And all I can think of for the rest of the scene is, I'm so jealous that she has thigh gap. Like, how does. How does some of us get knock knees and then some of us get thigh gap? I can't walk off like that. I walk off looking like the fucking penguin looking for his mommy, you know? And Paige just gets to like, go thigh gap it up there. So I was kind of mad, but she's like, oh, really? Well, I said, I don't even care about the Hannah stuff. And right now, history, it's just repeating itself. We're fighting because Craig does something with another drink company. Also, it's my fault. Is my fault for being human is my fault.
Ben
Yeah, it's my fault. And so then Paige just keeps walking and she's like, fudge you, dude. Your ego is out of control. So Ciara is like, you accused her in those texts of, like, thinking the same way as Hannah just because, like, that's her business partner. No, I asked her. Do you believe this too? Yeah, but like, why do you even have to reply to that? Because I feel like being two faced.
Ronnie
And Paige, who is now all the way through the living room, somehow hears this.
Ben
Yeah.
Ronnie
Turns, flips back around and she walks out there with her finger out. And she's like, thigh gap. Thigh gap. Thigh gap. Thigh gap, Kyle. Thigh gap. Thigh gap.
Ben
Yeah. She like, comes running outside. She's like, I'm being two faced. Did you just say that I'm being two faced? How fucking damn you. I'm actually an adult. I was able to maintain a friendship with Hannah. A friendship with Amanda. Never speak ill of your wife and then maintain a friendship with Amanda and never speak ill of Hannah. And that's actually called being mature and an adult, not two faced. What you do is two faced. Text, raging, texting me, then acting like it's all good. That's two faced. And my biological clock is beating like this.
Ronnie
How dare you? I started off this weekend normal, and you've turned me into a character from mob lives.
Ben
Now I'm just Marissa Tomei.
Ronnie
Have your moment. Have your moment. And man is like, kyle, stop. Have what? Have. What are you telling me to have my money just ready to go off at every line? And he's like, you're just yelling at me. She goes, yeah, I'm yelling at you. What about it? Thigh gap. And he's like, all right, congratulations, you yelled at me.
Ben
So Paige just goes back inside. And Kyle's like, well, Paige's business partner is still out there telling lies. And Sarah's like, yeah, but why can't you just block her and move the on? Like, if you hate her so much, Blockers, like, well, I actually donate Hannah. I would love it if she'd promote my beverage on the Giggly Squad shows at Radio City Musical. That's probably, by the way, what it's all about. He probably wants them to drink lover boy at Radio City Music hall or in front of Megan thee Stallion. And they won't. And he's like, so Amanda's like, it just sucks and sucks that it affects things. And Sierra's asking if it affects the business. And she goes, yeah, because it does. Because, like, right now everyone's being like, oh, Kyle got Hannah fired. Lover boy. Is there anyone out there who goes into a 7 11, sees a lover boy and says, ooh, what a refreshing beverage I want to grab. Wait a second. I heard that the founder of this beverage got Hannah Burner fired from a reality show. On second thought, I'm having a Snapple.
Ronnie
No, but Kyle's mad because they're getting a lot of hate messages from probably giggly squad fans. You know, that's a very strong lobby. You know, they're like the tobacco lobby. Like, you don't want to. Yeah, you don't want to with them because they're ripping him apart. And so she's like, yeah, they're really mean to Kyle is, like, having a really negative effect. He's only human. So Kyle gets up and he's, like, ripping his bib off, which is hilarious.
Ben
Because he's just so little.
Ronnie
Like, I'm done with these Cheerios. And he's like, that was slander.
Ben
Danielle's like, amanda, are you okay? Yeah. So Lindy goes inside and she's like, wow, Crazy out there, chef. He's like, well, as long as the food was good. So then Kyle is like, wow, the amount of lies being spread about me and my business is so asinine. Like, dude, I'm leaving, bro.
Ronnie
It's the past. It's the past. It's. It's like tight white jeans. It's not now. It's not the reality now. Okay, don't leave. Don't leave.
Ben
No. The lies about my business. No, don't leave.
Ronnie
No, no, please come. Don't go.
Ben
Don't go.
Ronnie
That's all these two do every season. They just take turns going, oh, my God, I'm leaving. No, bro, don't go. Work it out. No leaving. The next season. I'm leaving. No, don't go, bro.
Ben
Please don't go. Please don't go. So Kyle's walking away, and Carl's like, don't. It's literally this. Just take a beat, bro. Take a breath. So now everyone is. It was last season. Was. Was Carl, like, walking off into the shadows? So now Emeril and Lexi are. Are. Are standing next to each other. That's all. That's really all.
Ronnie
There's nothing going on there. So Sierra goes inside, and chef Andrew is there, and he's like, so how was everything? Are we into pink foods? Did you like the grapefruit? Tell me what you thought of the grapefruit. And she's like, I hate this house. He's like, I didn't ask you about the house. Did you enjoy the pink food that is going on my resume? So.
Ben
Back to Kyle and Carl. I'm the hardest working guy I know, and I just get on. He's like, don't go. Well, the wild was that. Carl was it.
Ronnie
I know. You're right.
Ben
I got it. I gotta.
Ronnie
How many times have I been Upset. And what do you say? Don't go.
Ben
Oh, don't go.
Ronnie
Well, what's that? I mean, she's upset. You know, just don't make it worse. Don't make it worse. And then we see proof that Paige is upset because she's wrapping a blanket around herself before she gets into bed.
Ben
And then there's like a knock on the door and Lindsay walks in and Paige is like, ow. I wasn't expecting you. I didn't hear the sound of creaking bones. Yeah, no, it's me.
Ronnie
Wow, it's you. There was no crow. There was no crow tapping on my window to warn me. Bizarre.
Ben
I didn't. I didn't hear the. The sound of a spoon stirring Ovaltine in a glass as you approached the door.
Ronnie
I didn't see a walker dragging across the floor, but it's you. Wow. Come in.
Ben
I guess so. Meanwhile, back at the dinner table, Danielle's like, welcome to the house.
Ronnie
Emerul. Haha.
Ben
So now Kyle and Amanda are talking. He's like, I just can't believe this. Kyle, just stop. You need to check yourself. No Amanda, no. Congratulations, Paige, for once again putting my marriage in the fucking blender. What?
Ronnie
You did that.
Ben
You did that. If your marriage was fine, there would be no blender in sight.
Ronnie
Yeah. And so he's saying that because Paige started a fight. Paige made him rage text, which started a fight. So now it's Paige's fault that his wife is mad at him yet again. Wow.
Ben
The.
Ronnie
The acrobatics that it's taking. And Amanda's like, no five seconds. Stop talking and blaming other people. Blaming other people. I'm getting shot out another time. I'm getting shot out by people. I'm getting shot. Shot at by people.
Ben
Not im. Rul is stuck still talking to Danielle. You know, he wants to be in the mix with everyone else, but he's like, stuck with Danielle. Like, so have you done share houses before? He's like, yeah, low grade. I mean, I have. It's always been kind of like this, but like, to travel usually, like, I usually leave. Leave the screaming for night too though. Am I right? Yeah, never dull moment. Witches. C Club Sunday. It's kind of the coolest place. So then you're gonna love it there.
Ronnie
Have you ever done a kissing booth? We normally do that on night one, so looks like I'm the only one here. Come on, boys.
Ben
So then Jesse and Lexi are just being stupid somewhere. And then we go back to Paige and Lindsay and Sierra walks in. Sierra's like, dude, what the fuck? And then Lexi comes, and she's like, anyone in here? Oh, my God. Girls, do you mind if, like, my sister, my mom joined for this moment? No, leave them out.
Ronnie
Yeah. Lexi tries to find Amanda, but Amanda's hiding in the shower to cry because they can't film you in there, I guess. But they're still filming right outside the door, inside the shower. Like, yes, I should have made guacamole.
Ben
West is secretly taking a shower. He took this chance to take a shower. So he's doing that, and Jesse is, like, saying, like, you know, wow, that was great. You took a shower. So now we go back to Paige. There's, like, a lot of activity resulting in nothing. And now we go back to Paige, and she goes, I've been in this situation before, and I'm trying not to be in it again. Hannah and Amanda, like, not being friends anymore was. Was the worst. 1,000% the worst. And, like, I still get upset about it because I can think about, like, what. Make what good friends we were, and it makes me so sad. And, like, me and Anna and Amanda, we were, like, so close. And, like, I think about, like, one day, I can't even have a bachelorette party because I wouldn't even be able to invite both of them.
Ronnie
I mean, there might one day be a time where I meet somebody worth marrying. I mean, that could be, you know, 10 years away, 20 years away, light years away. I want to have an effectual rap party. So then we see a flashback to five years ago when Hannah and Amanda and Paige were all friends. And Amanda was saying, is there such thing as sister wives without a husband? And Paige said, yeah, they're called lesbians.
Ben
Oh, back in the good old days. So then Lexi's like, well, I mean, you're a really good friend. Just from what I've seen and what I've felt, you know? And Peter's like, yes, I have a lot of things, but, like, a bad friend is, like, not fucking one of them. And so for him to see that I'm, like, fake. It's like, that's such bullshit. Because I've worked so hard to make Amanda not feel slighted with, like, my friendship with Hannah. And, like, for Hannah not to feel like I don't have her back, too, and that does have to suck. Like, Paige, that's like, that is the worst. And she does deserve credit from Kyle. And Kyle is like, a dick for.
Ronnie
For.
Ben
For kind of like, he's a dick for not realizing the grace that she has shown him in the situation that she's in.
Ronnie
Yeah. So she's saying, you know, I'm just trying to avoid a situation where Craig and Kyle don't speak again, because if that happened, I genuinely don't think I could stay in this house. And which obviously, you know, you're clear of that now, so that's helpful.
Ben
Yes.
Ronnie
But they're talking about how it's always somebody else's fault.
Ben
Commercials. Here comes one right now.
Monica Lewinsky
At 24, I lost my narrative, or rather it was stolen from me. And the Monica Lewinsky that my friends and family knew was usurped by false narratives, callous jokes, and politics. I would define Reclaiming as to take back what was yours, something you possess is lost or stolen, and ultimately you triumph in finding it again. So I think listeners can expect me to be chatting with folks both recognizable and unrecognizable names about the way that people have navigated roads to triumph. My hope is that people will finish an episode of Reclaiming and feel like they filled their tank up, they connected with the people that I'm talking to, and leave with maybe some nuggets that help them feel a little more hopeful.

Ben
In the 1980s, A swept the country. Hey Mike, I really like this White Zinfandel. Well, good, good.
Ronnie
Now put it down. We're gonna try another one.
Ben
White Zin became America's top selling wine. But most don't know that this sweet drink has a sour history. What began in 1986 with counterfeit bottles, a big fraud, a multi million dollar fraud sent investigators chasing one of the most Powerful families in the business, the Licciardis. But the closer the feds got to them, the more dangerous things became. It's a story of deceit. At the time, I was paranoid.
Ronnie
Threats. You touch my kids, I will kill you. And murder with a.22 caliber bullet to the head.
Ben
What started with a scheme to mislabel wine spilled into a blood soaked battle for succession. Welcome to Blood Vines. You can binge listen to Blood Vines exclusively and ad free on Wondery plus. Join Wondery in the Wondery app, Apple podcasts, or Spotify.
Ronnie
Meanwhile, we go to the kitchen and Danielle and Emeril are in there. And the chef's like, okay, are you ready for dessert? This party's amazing. Am I right? It's like, oh, my go God. Oh, my God. Eat this piece of gang. And then look at your tongue. And that's gonna tell you what the baby's gonna be. He's like, I already knew this. I made all the pink food just to win. I'm trying to have a bunch of reviews.
Ben
I'm not gonna be on the show that much longer, so just do this for me. So then Jesse is like with Wes, and he's like, hey, so Sierra laughed at you tonight, bro. And I was like, yeah. I mean, she's been. She's been fighting, laughing for a while. Yeah. I mean, I go like, he's a funny guy. Not right? And she goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think she thinks you're funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ronnie
And he's like, I was just like, so proud because, like, all my life I've dealt with rough situations. I like being funny. And so, like, you know, Sierra laughing at me, that, like, really saved the day, you know, it's like a huge step. Like, I mean, I sound like I'm in eighth grade, guys, right? I'm just a little boy. Just an insecure little boy.
Ben
So I'm guessing he was laughing a lot when he got that haircut. Cuz that is the roughest of the situations.
Ronnie
He was just trying to get himself out of bullying by getting stupid haircuts. He's like, well, they'll. Maybe they'll laugh at me and then I'll get out of it.
Ben
Hey, it's me. It's me talking to Kyle. Hey, let's go check on Amanda real quickly. Let's just, like, not make it worse. Let's just like, let's just, like, make it easy. Let's make it soft. Let's do all one tender moment. Need a tender moment with pink dessert. So then Kyle's like, man, there's just been multiple lies over the last three years where the lies have just been, like, spread almost, like, ruined our marriage. And then we've come this close, Kyle. So she's like, I'm out of here. I'm going upstairs to hang out with the cool kids.
Ronnie
Yeah, I'm gonna leave. This is ridiculous.
Ben
Don't leave, bro. Don't leave.
Ronnie
So Danielle is still flirting with Emeril, and Carl comes into the kitchen and she's like, carl, what the the is going on? And Carl's like, oh, Kyle's checking out Amanda, and I'm trying to calm him down a bit. Oh. Because, like, there's just so many layers to it. But, like, if. If. If my opinion was each layer of this cake, this would be a five layer of don't go cake.
Ben
Don't go.
Ronnie
Don't go.
Ben
So then Paige. Paige is again still in bed. And Lexi is standing again. Like, I think she's like. She's standing at the foot of the bed or she's sitting on it. And Paige is like, lexi, will you do me a favor and go check where Kyle is? And if Amanda's alone, I will go see Amanda deputizing Lexi.
Ronnie
She's like, that's a Lexi secretary. She's like, I don't care who you've dated. You're the youngest and the dumbest and the one who still doesn't understand what lip liner is supposed to do. So please do my bidding. Thank you.
Ben
She's like, fetch, Amanda.
Ronnie
So then Danielle and Lindsay are still in the kitchen, and Danielle's like, oh, my God, Emeril, do you still want to go out? And he's like, a thousand percent. I'm here for the weekend. I'm going out every night. Do you not want to go out? She's like, 100 per cent. I want to go out.
Ben
Send It Club.
Ronnie
Do you want to spin the bottle before we go?
Ben
Just a suggestion. Seven minutes in heaven. So Amanda. Lexi finds Amanda, does her job. So Amanda comes, and then Amanda and Paige, like, clasp each other. And Paige is like, I love you. I love you. I love you, I love you. I don't ever want to fight with you. I know. It's like it, like, makes me so, so sad. Amanda. I know. It's just, like, all the time, like, how I wish you and Anna were friends again. And, like, we had the best time. And, like, I just. I don't even care about that. Like, I just don't even want to fight with Kyle. It's like, I mean, I love you so much. I mean that.
Ronnie
He's just so stupid. You know how many times I have to say, like, what are you doing? This whole fight. I mean, I know they're on TV and they have to do dramatic stuff, but why doesn't Paige just go, you're an idiot. Stop yelling at me and yell at Craig and Hannah if you want to yell at somebody like the end, she's too young.
Ben
But you don't, you don't learn that wisdom until you're 35 or 40.

Ronnie
He also said to remind Kyle that he's a brain surgeon and not to with him because he's got a lot of connection. Craig, you're not a brain surgeon.
Ben

Ronnie
Oh, I was just wearing those yesterday. Darn it, I wish we were warm right now. We could be twinsies. But it's pretty warm over here in Tejas.
Ben
They're so comfortable. I'm not even gonna lie. So, Emerald, he's in the kitchen. He says hi to everyone. They're like, oh, my God, you had sex last night. He says he put her in a cab. And he's like, huh, I guess I shouldn't have brought that girl home. Home. That was a mistake.

Did you not hear me? Don't go.
Ben
So Amanda's asking Kyle how he's feeling, and he's like, I just feel like a fish out of water. Like, just because I drink like a fish doesn't mean I want to be a fish, especially out of water. So I'm sorry for making things more awkward for you. I'm only human. So, like, I know my reactions have been what got me into trouble, but I'm, like, not the one putting stuff out there in the first place. I'm just the one starting fights about it in the first place.
Ronnie
You're the one putting it out in public on your show, weirdo. Yeah, so it's just more of, like. It's typical what happens when Kyle acts like an idiot. Then the next day he's like, but I'm just a boy. I'm only normal. I'm just a human. It's everyone else's fault. They're hurting me. They're coming for me. Nobody cares, brah. Chill. So then now everybody's getting ready for the beach. God, we saw the beach thing to go.

And he's like, you know, I was thinking about, like, just talking about where I'm at with Lexi. With Lexi. And I feel like I should be communicating, you know, like, so far, I've been pretty good. Like, I've said juicy booty a few times, so, you know, we're on a good path. But I would say, like, my main concern is I'm scared. Like, she's a little bit jealous. What gives you that Impression. And he's like, she told me.
Ben
So he's gonna love Bomber, but then kind of talk about her behind her back to everyone else in the house. So that's really helpful. Right?
Ronnie
He's gonna make her as attached as possible. And then the groundwork that she's crazy so that when he starts her over in a couple of weeks, everybody will be on his side.
Ben
Why are you so into me? All I did was basically say I will love you in the first day I met you. But like, why are you so into me? You're the crazy one here. So Paige is like, well, you ain't got to worry about me, Jesse. And he's like, yeah, cuz like she doesn't want to know about my exes. And Sierra's like, well, she doesn't want you commenting on our pictures, which is weird. And she's like, wait, she said she didn't want you commenting on our pictures? But I put up such good content. Like, like everyone comments on my pictures. It's like a thing that we do. And he's like, yeah, like, you know how I like go really hard on comments. And she's like, yeah, but like, I mean, Amanda's married. Like that's not a problem. And Amanda's like, yeah, so you're like worried a bit. And he's like, yeah, cuz obviously there's like an extreme attraction. Like we like each other enough that it's like worth exploring. But like, I just like don't want all this to like blow up like and like deal with a breakup, you know? Cuz she's like a little cuckoo crazy. I love her, but she's like a cuckoo crazy jealous weirdo person. Right guys?
Ronnie
Okay, so then Amanda's checking with Kyle, who's still moping around. He's like, I'm just in my head. I don't need more stress. Lover boy doesn't need more stress. I'm only human. So he doesn't want to fight with Paige, so he asks to have a talk. And she's like, yeah, where do you want to go? He's like, let's go by the dunes or something.

Summary of "Watch What Crappens" Episode #2754: Summer House S09E4 Part Two: The Hannah That Rocks The Cradle
Released on March 6, 2025 by Ben Mandelker & Ronnie Karam on Wondery
Introduction to Part Two
In Episode #2754 of "Watch What Crappens," hosts Ben Mandelker and Ronnie Karam dive deep into Part Two of the "Summer House" Season 9, Episode 4, titled "The Hannah That Rocks The Cradle." As always, Ben and Ronnie provide a blend of praise, ridicule, and sharp commentary on the latest developments in the Bravo universe, focusing primarily on the intricate dynamics within the "Summer House" cast.
Main Plot Discussion
Investment Drama: Craig vs. Kyle
The episode centers around a heated confrontation between Craig and Kyle over a potential investment in Kyle's company. Ben initiates the discussion by unpacking the tension:
Ben [01:32]: "So they're basically upset because it sounds like Craig said he was going to invest and then he didn't invest and then did something with this other company. Is that what I'm deducing from all this?"
Ronnie adds context, highlighting Craig's wavering commitment:
Ronnie [01:40]: "He asked Kyle if he could invest in his company... Paige makes it sound like he's just being paid to advertise it anyway."
Ben empathizes by sharing a personal experience about dealing with flaky commitments, paralleling the show's storyline:
Ben [02:13]: "I wound up in this exact same situation... I was trying to sell some routers. I upgraded my router... People just say yes, and then they disappear. They ghost."
This anecdote underscores the recurring theme of unreliable commitments, both in personal transactions and within the show's business dealings.
Character Dynamics
Paige, Hannah, and Amanda's Friendship Struggles
A significant portion of the episode delves into the strained relationships between Paige, Hannah, and Amanda. Ben and Ronnie dissect the emotional turmoil caused by Kyle's actions, which threatens to dismantle longstanding friendships:
Ben [05:25]: "I just really just wanted to tell that story, guys... I just have to find how much did you make?"
The conversation highlights the fragility of friendships when intertwined with business conflicts, emphasizing Paige's distress over losing close friends due to misunderstandings and miscommunications.
Kyle's Behavior and Its Impact
Kyle's erratic behavior, characterized by his quick shifts in loyalty and investment, serves as a focal point for the hosts' criticism:
Ronnie [07:18]: "But right now, history, it's just repeating itself. We're fighting because Craig does something with another drink company."
Ben doesn't hold back his frustrations, calling out Kyle's lack of reliability:
Ben [07:43]: "You're a fucking liar, okay? ... Craig is a lot and nothing has anything to do with Paige."
Key Conflicts and Resolutions
Business vs. Personal Relationships
The intertwining of business ventures with personal relationships leads to a cascade of conflicts. Ben illustrates this by recounting how mixed commitments can lead to uncomfortable situations:
Ben [05:20]: "He was outraged... he was so lovely, and I felt like I gave the things to the right person."
This scenario mirrors the show's tension, where business decisions directly affect personal bonds among cast members.
Emotional Tensions Among House Members
The hosts explore the emotional rollercoaster experienced by the house members, particularly focusing on Kyle's internal struggles and their ripple effects:
Ben [10:05]: "She's like, I don't even care about the Hannah stuff."
Ronnie emphasizes the cyclical nature of conflicts:
Ronnie [10:05]: "I'm gonna leave, so Danielle is still flirting with Emeril, and Carl comes into the kitchen..."
Humorous Moments and Comedic Highlights
Throughout the episode, Ben and Ronnie infuse humor into their critique, often highlighting absurdities and providing witty remarks:
Ronnie [04:15]: "The other guys, money for that gas. Just go buy a fucking router, dude."
Their ability to find humor in the chaos of "Summer House" adds an entertaining layer to the analysis, keeping the listeners engaged and entertained.
