So go check those out and that's enough. Plug in today. We are here. Denise, you made it season. Season one. Denise Richards and her wild things made it through season. God damn. Season one a big cocks on Aaron and his wild.
Ben Mandelker
All right. What an exciting time. Can my two daughters talk to each other like adults? Maybe we'll find out by the end of the episode. Either way, Aaron's got a big dick. Big dick.
Ronnie Karam
It's got a huge one which they showed Aaron in jeans showing his big wiener off through his jeans. I was like, holy mother, is that a toddler in there? What you got hiding in there, boy? That thing was gigantic.
Ben Mandelker
I missed that entirely. I didn't See that at all?
Ronnie Karam
Oh, you did? Oh, yeah. He's walking into the photo shoot, and that thing is humongous. I mean, you know, wear some underwear. I have some respect, sir. Some of us are trying to work here.
Ben Mandelker
Wow. Well, the episode opens up with Denise sitting on the sofa.
Ronnie Karam
I have to say, no narrative in this episode. This. By this one, they're like, listen, we said eight episodes. Just put some shit in there. It doesn't have to even make any sense. Just throw whatever we didn't put in in, and we'll get even. Denise's opening monologue doesn't really make any sense.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah.
Ronnie Karam
Did you notice nothing?
Ben Mandelker
It's been. It's been. It's been a few weeks since the show had a narrative. I think, like, somewhere with the pat. I think around the Patrick Muldoon episode was where they officially just sort of, like, were like, we're just gonna show you footage shot. You know, that's basically how this show is.
Ronnie Karam
This is just kind of a slice of life type thing. So she starts telling her story in the beginning, like normal. She's like, you know, being in the public eye in Hollywood, that's where, you know, a lot of times people think that they know my family, and they think that they know my ex or that they know me. So, for example. And then we never go back to this. I don't know what that had to do with anything. But her story is, well, Charlie and I went to the SAG Awards, and we were fighting in the car, and he was mad at me because, you know, I wasn't crack. So that was rough. You know, he just really wanted to chop me up and smoke me, and I'm like, I'm too big for a pipe. So I was upsetting.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, it was. It's a rough time. So we were there at the SAG Awards, and, you know, I saw Johnny Depp and his wonderful wife at the time, and I was like, good. You know, the two of us just picking two good men. Two good men, right? We got good pickers. You know, it was funny, you know, talking to both of them, because she was like, oh, my God, you're so cute. Look how cute she is. She's pregnant. I said, oh, my God, look at how nice your husband is. You guys. You guys. You know what? You know, I can tell behind closed doors, you guys have a lot of happiness, you know? And little did you know, five weeks, three weeks later, I was filing for divorce from this guy. Hilarious.
Ronnie Karam
So what does that have to do with everybody thinking that they Know you just because they see you on tv. I didn't understand at all, but I like that the camera guy's like, nope, that made perfect sense. Let's just keep it moving. We have five more dollars left. Let's just keep it moving.
Ben Mandelker
I thought she'd be like, we got out of the car and we were fighting, and everyone thought there was trouble in paradise. But that had nothing to do with anything in the story. She's just like, I saw Johnny Depp one time.
Ronnie Karam
It's funny because she says it like it's a full story. And then the producer's like, yep, made total sense. All right, let's just keep going. So she's like, yeah, you never know what goes on behind closed doors. Not much until you. Spoiler alert, big dick.
Ben Mandelker
Those doors can barely close. Why is that how big the dick is? So we go to townhouse.
Ronnie Karam
So we go to townhouse number one, where Denise is wiping makeup off a bra, and Aaron's like, what are you doing, babe? Holy crap. This is some kind of thing that women do. God, women are crazy.
Ben Mandelker
Am I right? Yeah. She's like, well, yeah, I gotta wipe up off the body makeup. And then he's like, God, it's everywhere. She's got on the walls, it's in the truck. And Sammy is like, yeah, if you can't find her, just have to look for her stains everywhere. Which was an issue a few episodes ago. She's like, mom, don't get your, like, body makeup all over my brand new Bronco.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah. So she's like, all right, let's just do, you know, let's do some on you, Aaron. I'm going to body makeup on you. Let's take off that shirt. God damn, you're hot, Aaron. Jeez, look at this body. You guys see this? Keep your boners in your pants. He's mine. All right, ladies. So I'm put some makeup on Aaron. He's like, yeah, look at me. I'm a guy. I'm a guy, but I'm getting body makeup on. This is like turning all the basic rules of society upside down. Only us, babe. Only us. All right?
Ben Mandelker
And we see her in the confessional on the couch because. Okay, guys, I'm just gonna do a quick 10 1. And she gets up from the sofa, and there's just like a giant orange Adrian Maloof stain on the white sofa. So he's like. She's like, you know, Aaron, you look good with a spraining the body makeup. He's like, I don't really see a difference. When I saw a difference. I'm just kidding. But you look good either way. Look, it doesn't matter what color that dick is. It's all about the inches of which there are many.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, let's get some body makeup on your scrotum. So she makes him a coffee, and he's like, I can't touch my arms to my side because I'm a man. A man with. With body makeup. What do I do? I'm like a robot now. How do I walk?
Ben Mandelker
It's funny what women do. So then we go to Sammy. She's driving her pink Bronco around with her sidekick, Leah. And then they, like, pull over, like on Mulholland Drive somewhere to do photos. And so Sammy gets on top of her, her Bron Bronco, and is doing pics. And Leah's like, yes, yes. Get the side profane.
Ronnie Karam
Yes.
Ben Mandelker
Oh, you know what? It is perfect. Loki. Like, it is great. Oh, my God, such a good Sammy. Is there a pose you cannot nail? Because you are nailing every single one of them.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, it's like low key hot. It's like low key hot. She's. Is it weird if I'm barefoot? Just don't be barefoot. Not for free. Only fans, friends. You're not giving that shit for free. Against Instagram. It's almost rent time.
Ben Mandelker
All right, it's good to see that Sami is living a fascinating life. And then we go over to Eloise.
Ronnie Karam
See men with extra money jerking off in a bush somewhere. No, keep your feet in your shoes, ma'am.
Ben Mandelker
Okay, that is premium content. So we go to Eloise with her tutor, and they're exchanging string cheese, which is cute. And then we go to Lola, and she's at her place and she's with her friend.
Denise Richards
She goes, so should we do a TikTok?
Ben Mandelker
And her friend's like, yeah. So then they start dancing with spatulas. Like, kitchen.
Denise Richards
It's like, oh, my God, Sarah, I'm, like, gonna pass out now. There was, like, so much.
Ronnie Karam
Just the juxtaposition. Juxtaposition between. Between these two girls. Social media one's like, do we let guys jerk off your toes for free or not? She's like, no. And then the other one, she's like.
Denise Richards
Let'S dance with a spatula. He's gonna break the Internet. This would be so good on Tick Tock. Spatula dancing.
Ben Mandelker
So then Denise is showing. She's like, hey, Aaron, you know, I think I was thinking about wearing this the premiere tonight, and. But they're still they still have all their body makeup on, so they get out hair dryers to speed it up, to make it dry. So this is what we do for the red carpet. I mean, you haven't been to a premiere for a while, you know, and I'm. I'm really excited to go for a Garcelle. Let me tell you something. When Aaron gets there, I'll tell you what the name of her movie will be. Big Dick Not Missing.
Ronnie Karam
Big dick not missing 19. Okay. Yeah, it's not. You don't have to go to the opening of an envelope, as they say, but, you know, if you're not a lot of pictures, you know, you're out of sight, out of mind to hire someone else. So she's talking about. She's talking about Bond with Aaron. She's like, you know, it's funny, when I did Bond, which I feel like at this point. When was that movie? How many?
Ben Mandelker
2,000. I was like. Like, that was like 20, 25 years ago. Yeah. Which is.
Ronnie Karam
Bond is brought up a lot. So she's like, you know, when I did Bond, honey. He's like, oh, God, here we go. Yeah, let's talk about Bond. She says, yeah, I had no idea how big that movie was, you know, It's a big one. It's a franchise, honey. It's like McDonald's, but of movies, you know, that means they've got, like, different Bonds, you know? He goes, oh, yeah, babe, I know. I know. You know, like, do you expect me to talk, little finger? Hey, make my day. Get off my lawn. I got the need. The need for speed.
Ben Mandelker
All right, okay, listen, your selling point is your dick, not your impersonations. It doesn't suck. That's me. I'm your dick. But it's cute as a cute impersonation. I like what you're doing. Yeah. I gotta tell you something, Pierce. You know, I did bond with Pierce. He's great. I gotta find out about his surgeon. You know, I don't. I don't want to do anything to my face, but the way he. The way he had such a glow up for Casino Royale. Wow, Pierce looked great in that. That one. That was Daniel Craig. Well, I don't care.
Ronnie Karam
I don't give a.
Ben Mandelker
They all had small dicks.
Ronnie Karam
I wish someone would have told me that. I think I'm still calling him Pierce. You sent him a bunk cake last year. Say, dear Pierce, you pierced my heart. Daniel Craig's probably what the wrong with this idiot?
Ben Mandelker
All this. All this time, I thought Pierce was doing a dual role in that. So maybe it's just a single role. What are you talking about? Wasn't the. Wasn't doing that lady also. That was Judi Dench. Wow. Geez. I really thought Pierce had more range.
Ronnie Karam
So now they go to the theaters, and they're at the Tempted by Love premiere. Huge, huge premiere. And Garcelle's on the red carpet posing, and Aaron's like, you know, I think I'm going to ask her where we can park. Babes. Like, where do we park?
Denise Richards
Just.
Ronnie Karam
Just go park. You're fine. Somewhere. It's la. It's easy to park. Yes, we should do. We all drive here. We've all got parking in my room. Some people think that as a celebrity, we don't park, But I'm a celebrity, and I park, you know, so figure it out.
Ben Mandelker
One time I went and I. I parked my car in a garage. I saw Johnny Depp there, and I said, I just parked my car. And he said, who are you? And I said, is this Johnny Depp or is this Pierce Bros. And another one of his makeup outfits. It was Johnny.
Ronnie Karam
So Garcelle's, like, running in for her event, and, you know, she's got. Got people there, and she's, like, eager to get inside. And Denise, like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Denise Richards from Bond. Hey. She's like, oh, hi, Denise. So good to see you. Thank you so much for coming out and, you know, supporting. And I don't know what else you're doing, really. The way that you bring little Ziploc bags and put food in it for your daughters. That's just so sweet. Thank you so much for being here.
Ben Mandelker
And Garcelle, when this premiere happened, we got some people who kept on tagging us because Garcelle is wearing a little bow tie, and she's looking. She's doing the Lisa Vanderpump, you know, magician look. And I didn't really like it. I don't think I like that look, really, on many people. I mean, Garcelle, I think maybe I'm not gonna get into whether or not Garcelle pulls it off better, but she definitely was doing the lvp. And so this was the premiere that it was from. So it was good to finally match the photos with the event at long last.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah. Well, there you go. It was for this. Tempted, Tempted by love. So I'm showing our anger. So I wanted to have a conversation. You okay? Well, I want to say hi, Garcel. Hi. He like, well, hello. How are the girls? You know, Those girls of yours. Oh, yeah, they're a pain in my ass, but they're good. You know, being a mom in Hollywood, she's. Well, we're mothers, you know, so we know. We know, right? Of course they're a pain in the ass. Well, I love that you came out and supported me. You're such a girl's girl. You too are. Hold on. Could you let go of my wrist now? I just want to hold your wrist for a minute. Just please let my wrist go.
Ben Mandelker
I need to get into this premiere, otherwise they'll start saying black girl missing another film. I do.
Ronnie Karam
All right, well, I gotta wait. My friend, my husband to park with husbands and parking. Am I right? Is it only movie star husbands that take forever to park? Or normal husband's like this too? I'm just sitting here waiting, you know.
Denise Richards
It'S time for a commercial.
Ronnie Karam
It's time for a Grappens commercial.
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.

Ronnie Karam
Have you ever wondered how a circus.
Ben Mandelker
Performer could become the most powerful woman.
Ronnie Karam
In the Byzantine Empire?
Ben Mandelker
Even the Royals is a podcast from Wondery that pulls back the curtain on royal families from ancient empires to modern monarchs to show you the darker side of what it means to be royalty. Before she ruled an empire, Theodora was a teen sensation in circus shows featuring dancing bears, burlesque performers, and blood soaked chariot races.
Ronnie Karam
But when her star came crashing down, she clawed her way from rock bottom to the very top, using everything from comedy to espionage to get there.
Ben Mandelker
Empress Theodora didn't just survive. She revolutionized women's rights across the Byzantine Empire. Like changing laws to let women divorce men own property and Bring abusive men to justice. For all her work in pioneering, she's remembered as the most powerful Byzantine empress in history.
Ronnie Karam

Ben Mandelker
Aaron is still hunting for a spot. Call me crazy, but if you're at a movie premiere, isn't there like a valet? Isn't there reserve parking? I think they even said, like, do you need some help with your parking? Why is he in the side streets of like, Westwood, California, trying to find parking that's. That's legal? Like, get yourself to the valet s or you're at a premiere.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, you would think there's a valet, but maybe there's not one. I mean, I don't know. Westwood is a pain in the ass. You can never park in Westwood West. Hey, I can't even get any wood because it was so hard to park even working anymore.
Ben Mandelker
They. When Aaron's in town, they call it west big wood, if you know what I'm saying.
Ronnie Karam
You know, you asked me to go to Westward. I said west wouldn't. All right. See, Americans a bitch.
Ben Mandelker
All right, so we finally.
Ronnie Karam
She goes inside, Garcelle goes inside, and we cut to Aaron Hunting. He's like, ah, parking. All right, let's look there. The parking says, can't park here from 8pm to 8pm I don't know what that means. God, I have like 10 seconds is like 60 seconds. I get to park 59 seconds. Or does it mean there's no park? What the do these mean? Trash day. All right, I don't know what that. Recycle. Am I supposed to. Is this car recyclable? I don't even know you park a car in Westwood.
Ben Mandelker
I think this is his first time parking a car. By the way, he was totally confused by the entire process, which admittedly is very confusing in la, but he was. It was a lot for him to handle. He's like, wait a second. I think big Pharma wants me to park here. Gotta find another one.
Ronnie Karam
So then he's like, I'm parking in an organic space. That's what's really important. Aaron, if you are bringing. If your family is bringing in $4 million a month on only fans, take a helicopter. You know what I mean? Don't get rustwood. Seriously? Yeah, I mean, that's very far from Malibu, but still, I mean, it's worth it.
Ben Mandelker
Hark at Ralph's and take an Uber from Ralph's. I mean, there are options here. So then Denise is like, where's my husband?
Ronnie Karam
Where is he?
Ben Mandelker
Where is he? Hello. There he is. Hey, babe. Hey, babe. Not sweet, babe. That's Patrick Muldoon. You can see him over the fence there. He's waving. Hey, Patrick, how's it going? Yeah, you're not allowed in. But then Sutton shows up and she's like, oh, hello. Look, I finally get to see you. Denise Richards, former member of my television show. How are you doing? Oh, look, here's my new friend, Jennifer Tilly. Well, I should say my new on screen friend now that you're gone. Hi, Jennifer Tilly, Meet Denise. She's like, oh, hello. Hello. Nice to see you. Nice to meet you. This is great. Ola. Lovely to see you. Denise. Hi. Hi, Hi, Hi. Hi.
Ronnie Karam
Hello. So good to see you. We've just gotten back from a cast trip, so.
Denise Richards
That was so fun, right? Something we did. We saw so many interesting things in there.
Ben Mandelker
And then he's just laughs. Because she totally knows what this is code for. Like, it was a show, Everyone screamed at each other, and we're all traumatized. Like, oh, Denise, you're funny. You're like, you would hang out well with Charlie, I think.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah. So Aaron's like, what do we do? We supposed to check in? We're here for the red carpet, honey. It's like you've never done this before, babes. All right, let's go. You know, it's really difficult when you're trying to take pictures as a movie star, as a couple, because, you know, watch what happens. Aaron, walk in here, they're like, please move out of the picture, sir. He's like, all right, I guess I'll just stand over here and wait for some food to be packed, see what I like. Poor Aaron. You can't make it through life on a big dick alone. All right.
Ben Mandelker
You know, I. I feel bad for what happens with him on the red carpets. That's why afterwards, I let him walk on my red carpet, if you know what I'm saying. He's got a big dick and I got a carpet. Hey, it's natural. It's what happens with a man and a woman. Especially when the man's got a big dick tfire. You know what, though? You know what, though? It's what we do.
Ronnie Karam
They push him off the red carpet and she takes her pictures. I'm saying he's like, yeah, it's awkward, you know, kind of. But just show me where there was. Show me where the tequila is. Just show me the tequila. So we go to townhouse number one, and Denise is like, honey, hi. Come over here. Let's set up some clothing accessories for a photo shoot for a hairless cat. Hey, honey babes, we're gonna start an Instagram for our pets. What do you think about that? That's a good one.
Ben Mandelker
And Denise is like, okay, Eloise, how many hairless casts do we have? So she puts up two fingers and everything, and she's like, okay.
Ronnie Karam
And one of their names.
Ben Mandelker
And their names are Blue and Tim. And Aaron's like, tim has a bigger name. It's Balsakian. I was like, wow. I like that. Tim is both. He's both, like. Tim's last name is basically Balsack, but also Armenian as well.
Ronnie Karam
Malsakian. So what did this mean? He says he had a vasectomy because we thought he looked odd with missing parts. It isn't a vasectomy. Well, a vasectomy is not a ball removal. That's.
Ben Mandelker
I wasn't sure what the hell they were talking about at this point. I was like, did you get the cat neutered? Like, what happened here? It doesn't make sense.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, it's neutered. Right? That's what I thought. But then if it's neutered to me, that's not the same thing, is it?
Ben Mandelker
I don't. I don't know.
Ronnie Karam
That's really. Tire wiener tubes. And then he's like. And he looked. You know, he looked odd with missing parts. But that's when you remove something. So did you add something to the cat? I'm confused.
Ben Mandelker
I was so confused. I was like, I'm just gonna forge forward because this does. None of this is just one of many other things that doesn't make sense in this. In this family.
Ronnie Karam
Overthinking the cat's balls. That's where we're at in our lives. How are you guys? So then Timmy gets his sunglasses, put on Anthony's, like, timmy, look at rock star. Hey, Timmy, let me give you some advice. If someone introduces himself as Pierce Brosnan, don't believe him. All right? You're a little stupid 25 years later. Tell you that.
Ben Mandelker
Timmy, why don't you tell us some stories about when you were in Bond. Oh, you weren't? Oh, I guess that's just me. Oh, well.
Ronnie Karam
It's so difficult doing a red carpet with your cat. No one wants a picture of him. Don't worry. You're gonna be on your own Instagram. Timmy. Tim. Yeah?
Ben Mandelker
You want some body makeup, Timmy? Timmy Balzacchian, huh?
Ronnie Karam
Yeah. Yeah, they used to call him Tiny Tim, but then we got a big dick put on him. So call him Tim. Tim. Tim. Double the Tim.
Ben Mandelker
Hey, I'm gonna go to a photo shoot now. We meet up with my friend Kimberly. You know, Kimberly and I, we shot together two years ago back when I was. I don't remember it was before I was doing Bond or after I was doing Bond or during Bond, but it was during one of the Bond years and she told me that this magazine wanted to do a shoot of us all together. So here we are. Now look, this is what happened a week ago when I found out. And so we see Kim calling her, saying, we are shooting for Runway tv. We're doing some singles on you. And then as many as we can with the girls. Oh, great. Yeah. Well, Aaron, it. How big is this Runway?
Ronnie Karam
Let me tell you. You know, it was so fun. We just. 10 years ago, it was so different back then because the girls got along. You know, Jesus wasn't in the family yet. You know, only fans hadn't started. It was a different world economy. The whole economy was different. They have a Jesus economy. They didn't have a home porn economy. I mean, just so just changed in our family, you know?
Ben Mandelker
I'm nervous now cuz the kids are going to be here. I hope they get along. And then we see a week earlier, Denise is FaceTiming Sammy. She's like, you excited about doing a photo shoot on your sister? She's like, yeah, I mean, I haven't seen Lola in a minute. Disgusting little bratty sister. Gross.
Ronnie Karam
And then she's asking Lola on her phone and Lola's like, well, I'm fine.
Denise Richards
Like, she's the only one that like hates me for some mean for some reason. Hey, mom, would you ask her if she would bring my really cute purple tank top to the shoot? I really miss it. He just fit me so well, you know? I'm really excited. I don't think Sammy's gonna be like, I can't go because Lola's there. I don't think so.
Ben Mandelker
And Sammy's like, I'm gonna try to put that all aside because I'm gonna be in a cool magazine that no one's heard of. I'm like, really excited about this.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, I'm gonna be a model. So this is like, really fun. I'm gonna get to like, try out my new nose on a magazine. So.
Ben Mandelker
So Denise is putting hair in a bag and she's, she's calling Aaron. She needs, she needs more hair. I don't know what it is. But she gets a text from Sammy. Oh, my God.
Ronnie Karam
She's like, hey, surely I've got hair in a bag. Oh, God. He didn't bring the hair. Got me to my hair. I gotta call my husband to get my hair in a bag.
Denise Richards
All right.
Ronnie Karam
Jesus Christ.
Ben Mandelker
Wait a second. Sammy just texted, and she says, I think my car got stolen. It's gone. Oh, my God. Sammy's car just got stolen. Guys, I don't. Jeez, I don't know what's gonna happen.
Ronnie Karam
Made me laugh so hard. So there's a gay, and he's like, oh, what? Like, told or stolen? She's like, I don't fucking know. And like, the next time they show him, he's hiding behind a curtain and just poking his head out. He's like, stolen was stolen. He's like, I always get blamed. He's like. As the gay on the shoot, I'm gonna guarantee you I will get blamed for this, okay? So just leave me out of this shit, okay?
Ben Mandelker
Like, I also loved his way of. I just love when he went, oh, my God. Towed or stolen? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I can't believe it got stolen. But was it maybe towed? Does anyone check the. Yeah, he's like, someone should probably call the towing company maybe. Oh, my God.
Ronnie Karam
What happened? Yeah, and so Sam was like, my car is gone, Mom. I don't know what to do. She says, well, what do you do, honey? You call the police. That's what you do. God, I want to go today, Mom. Like, I don't even know who I am anymore without my Bronco. Like, I'm not going to go, all right?
Ben Mandelker
No, I'm just gonna stay home. Mom, this is stupid, okay? No, you're not. Okay, Sammy, we can send you a car to bring you here. It is what it is, and I'm not. It's not gonna bring your car back. But you just, you know, call the police and say, my car was stolen and I gotta do a photo shoot. They'll totally understand.
Ronnie Karam
Okay, okay. I don't have any syllables that word is supposed to have. Just get in the comes, okay? When you. When you have to do something, show up. That's it. It's a very important shoe. For what magazine again is this honey for. For Freeway Railings magazine. Just get over here.
Ben Mandelker
Listen, you know what? Like, Sammy wants while she's just starting. You know, it's a small town, and you don't want word to get out that you're being difficult. The last thing you want is have a bad reputation for a runaway magazine. A magazine that is made for people who've run away from things. Okay, you gotta be careful.
Ronnie Karam
And then they show the gay behind the curtain. He's just poking his head out like, is she coming? She? I don't fucking know. Oh, I know. God, I hope so. Jeez.
Ben Mandelker
Well, whatever. I don't know. Okay, so I'm gonna take some photos. So Lola shows up and she's like.
Denise Richards
By the way, I was gonna ask, what's the theme of the shoot today? Is it possibly about Taco Tuesday? Because I have a prayer for that. Can we all gather around?
Ronnie Karam
And Kimberly tells her, oh, the theme is high fashion modern issues.
Denise Richards
Oh, wow, that's so interesting. So just to confirm, no Taco Tuesday whatsoever.
Ronnie Karam
So there's no theme this general High fashion, modern, you know, fashion. Fashion, Think.
Denise Richards
Okay. Well, my mom and sister, they've like, always been so comfortable posing, but, like, I just don't know why not. But I'm not. Like, I just feel insecure. Like, I used to compare myself to them a lot, but then, you know, like, sometimes you just have to boogie to the beat of your own spatula.
Ronnie Karam
You know what I mean?
Ben Mandelker
Hey. Hey, Lola, by the way, guess what? Your sister's car is gone.
Denise Richards
Oh, my gosh, that's terrible. I can't believe it's gone. Towed or stolen? That's terrible that it got stolen. But it was towed. It's terrible, terrible.
Ben Mandelker
So Kimberly's like.
Ronnie Karam
They're like, is the other girl gonna come? I don't know. She needs to come, I'll tell you that much. I don't know. Let's just make this an all day shoot, you know? What are you gonna do about it?
Ben Mandelker
So they're doing photos and Sammy does show up nine, 90 minutes later. And Lola's like, hi, Sammy.
Denise Richards
Hi, Sammy. Hi, Sammy.
Ben Mandelker
And Sammy, of course, just ignores her because she's so evil. And then he's like, oh, God, I'm glad you're here. And she was like, oh, my God. It was like, like, so annoying. It got repossessed because I forgot to put the payments on my new car.
Ronnie Karam
You're rich. I can't with this girl. Like, I. I get it if you don't have the money, but you're rich. Yeah, it's really hard. Like, this happened like last time. It's happened twice, you know, and it like took two weeks for me to get it back.
Ben Mandelker
I mean, wow, how many? I'm looking up. How many months? Months before repossessing Repossession like, how many months do you usually go? So I guess it's if. Oh, if you're 30 to 90 days behind on payments, meaning you. So she basically went for four months. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say I got my car.
Ronnie Karam
Repossessed one time when I lost my job at Buena Murray. I didn't have really money, and I. Yeah, I got my car repossessed. Like, all I got from unemployment was barely enough to pay my rent and, like, the gas bill. And so my car got repossessed that. And I hated that car, too. So I was kind of glad it Fiat thing, that little tiny yacht. I remember my despicable me car, and it got. It got taken.
Ben Mandelker
How long did it. How long did it take? Like, was it like. Was it like, two months?
Ronnie Karam
I never got it back. I couldn't afford.
Ben Mandelker
No, I meant, like, how long did it take for them? Like, I imagine. Yeah. Cuz I imagine first is like, we didn't receive this, and then they got to send a collection agency or whatever.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, I took, like, two months. They took it back.
Ben Mandelker
Wow. Well, she's just rich and not paying her. And yeah.
Ronnie Karam
So I'm like, you had the money. Come on, man. So then Sammy's like, wait, yeah, it took two weeks to get it back last time. So Denise is like, I don't not know. You didn't prepay. I mean, it's part of being an adult, you know? I mean, Jesus Christ, you know, when you're a movie star, you have kids that just don't understand what it's like. Sammy's like, oh, yeah, Mom, I'm not an adult. Like, I'm not ready. It's clear. I forget things all the time. Like, of course, I forgot to pay off my car. If you are old enough to be on adult. An adult site, you are old enough to be an adult. You are like, that money.
Ben Mandelker
That's very selective when you decide to be an adult. Right. Because, you know, I'm an adult mother. I can do what I want. I'm not an adult. I can't pay my bills. Yeah, I'm sure that drives parents nuts all the time because it probably happens to so many parents. So.
Denise Richards
Hey, what kind of makeup are you gonna do, Sammy?
Ben Mandelker
I have no idea. My makeup got repossessed too.
Denise Richards
Oh. What kind of hair are you doing?
Ben Mandelker
I don't know.
Denise Richards
What's really up in your shoes?
Ben Mandelker
I don't know.
Denise Richards
Oh, well, for me, when I'm in a bad headspace, my friends like to, like, not Be serious to get me out of my serious problems. So with Sammy, I like to do that sometimes, too. This is how I do it. Sammy, what did you have for lunch? Sammy, what color is the sky when it's raining? Sammy, what's the difference between a snail and a turtle? They both have shells. See, it's working. I think deep down she likes it. It.
Ben Mandelker
Why are you asking me so many questions, Lola? So it's more photos. And then they're.
Ronnie Karam
I like that they're taking the photos. And they're both. Both of the daughters who are kind of robots. Like, they. Both of them, like. Lola's like. And Sammy's like, but both of them are robots. And so they're like, wow, mom, you're.
Denise Richards
Like, so animated when you take pictures.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah.
Denise Richards
Wow. We've never seen that sort of emotion before.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, well, when I first started modeling, I was so self conscious, I didn't know where to put my hands. Then I met Aaron. I was like, Big Dick, also known as my hand holder. There we go.
Denise Richards
Even when I do Instagram photos, I don't know what to do. It's really hard.
Ronnie Karam
So now they have a group. A group set. But Denise puts, like, a bag over her head so she doesn't get makeup on anything.
Denise Richards
Like, mom, you look crazy. Mom, even with the back over your head, you look, like, so animated. Can I have a bag on my head? Hey, Sammy, what's in your. What's in your face bag? Is it your face?
Ben Mandelker
Why you keep asking me these questions? Oh, my God, mom, you're like a potato sack. And I'm like, in a trash bag.
Denise Richards
And I'm a clash.
Ben Mandelker
Shut up. You're not even part of this. Stupid.
Ronnie Karam
And they do look crazy in these dresses. They're these, like, big kind of. It looks like they're wrapped in sheets. Which I guess was the point. I'm not really sure what. What that's about. So then Aaron comes in with his. This is when I was like, damn, Aaron. He is packing. It's like his tripod. Aaron comes in with his tripod. And then he's like, well, guys, it's me. I'm just a guy. A guy showing up for photo shoot. It's crazy. Do other dads do this?
Ben Mandelker
And Denise is like, well, okay. Well, I think, you know, I think with these kids, if I just back off a little bit, they're going to come together again as friends.
Ronnie Karam
Friends.
Ben Mandelker
I'm happy. So they take photos. And Lola's saying she has real role models in her life. It turns Out. She says, I've always looked up to.
Denise Richards
Gigi and Bella Hadid's photos together, and I've always wanted Sam and I to be like them, and Sam would hate that. I say that, but I was really excited.
Ben Mandelker
Oh, once again, the Hamlin sisters left out of the equation.
Ronnie Karam
I think all these Malibu kids know each other, right? Because Malibu really is, like, a small town. My God, that. That one's really tiny. You grew up with everybody in that town.
Ben Mandelker
Absolutely.
Ronnie Karam
But, yeah, Bella and Gigi. So Sammy's like, well, part of me did this because I had no choice, but the other part, it's like, because future me and Lola are gonna, like, look at this and be so happy we had those photos together, you know, because future me is probably gonna need a ride, and I guarantee you Lola will have a car.
Ben Mandelker
So, yeah, pretty much. So Lola tries to give Sammy a high five, and Sam's like. So then they do another group shot, and Eloise is. Eloise is wearing this cute little, like, cap and a blazer. And then Denise, like, I can't believe it's been 10 years since the last photo. You know, it's bittersweet. I'm so proud to see my girls grow up. And you know what else I like to see grow up? Aaron's dick. And thing gets. It's. It is both a. It is a shower and a shower. Okay. That's what I've got to say. Well, anyway, it's been nice, and the families together. We're taking photos.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah. Yeah. I've succeeded. I've succeeded in bringing the families together. I got a family picture, and I just. I try and bring normalcy to our craziness. You know what I mean? So. Hey, kids, you want to go to get. We're gonna get the cat a boob job. Anyone want to come? Yeah.
Ben Mandelker
So, you know, it's funny. Ten years ago, I was. I know you guys probably thought this episode was over, but I'm gonna keep on talking. So 10 years ago, I was definitely in the midst of probably, you know, some shitty phone call from my dad or some. Or a call from my public. Oh, this story's going out, like, great, great. I'll do a show. But, like, you know, this time I'm worried about my kids showing up to the damn photo shoot. I'm glad it's my worry. Not the same worry I had for 10 years ago, you know, so that.
Ronnie Karam
Girls are so glad you're proud. You sucked it up. You did these pictures. You're professionals mostly. I mean, one of you arrived 90 minutes late. But still, you're here. All right. You know, I want to do this again too. Ten years from now, you know, we could have three generations. Maybe I'll have babies. You know, Lola's like, yeah, like, I.
Denise Richards
Wonder if our kids are gonna get along. Like, I wonder if our kids are gonna, like, have blue tank tops and then, like, loan them to each other and then give them back when they're done with them. You know? That would be nice.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, let's hope so. And Sammy's like, definitely not. My children's tank tops are gonna stay with them.
Ronnie Karam
Ew.
Ben Mandelker
Gross. Disgusting.
Ronnie Karam
Come on, you need to get along. All right, let's do a group hug. Come on. Don't. Don't touch my boobies. Don't worry. Come on. Come on. Two days after the photo shoot, the unthinkable happened. Aaron found a parking space in west. Like, yeah, nailed it, finally.
Ben Mandelker
So today, as a couple of hours ago, Lola has apologized for everything, and I think we can finally move in the right direction of, like, moving on to, like, good terms between us. Yeah.
Denise Richards
Yeah.
Ronnie Karam
You know, I've been wanting them to be friends, and now they get along. They couldn't get along along for before. Now, I don't know if you noticed, but we're doing the same diary room session we've been doing. No one's even changed our clothes, but there you go. Let's just roll with it. Let's just roll with it. We're out of money, so we may.
Ben Mandelker
Not seem like it, but this is one big happy family. That's why I told Johnny Depp when he was on that carpet for Bond, and I was like, pierce, take those glasses off. And that goatee. I know it's you. And, you know, it was awkward, but I said, family's everything, right? Right?
Ronnie Karam
And Lola's like, yeah, I didn't even.
Denise Richards
Realize how much I miss talking to my sister. But now I call her, like 20 times a day.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, like, it's funny, cuz I don't even remember unblocking her, so.
Ben Mandelker
All right, all right, let's. Let's just end it on a good note, everyone. Come on.
Ronnie Karam
Ending on a good note. Why you have to deal in my ear? You're bursting my ear drum.
Ben Mandelker
Sorry.
Ronnie Karam

Ben Mandelker
That's how it all ends. Yeah. That's it. That's the end of the story, everyone. So that was it. It was fun. Little sort of frothy season. Silly. And you know, she. They do have.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, it's a fun stupid show.
Ben Mandelker
I liked it. Clan over there. So anyway, thanks everyone for being here for the season. I don't know if it'll have another season or not, but it was a fun, fun diversion for a few.

This episode captures the essence of what "Watch What Crappens" is all about—praising, ridiculing, and eviscerating Bravo's finest with a healthy dose of humor and sharp wit.
Main Storyline Discussion
Opening Monologue Chaos ([02:15] – [03:15])
The episode kicks off with Denise Richards attempting to deliver an opening monologue that leaves listeners scratching their heads. Ronnie quips, “Denise’s opening monologue doesn't really make any sense” ([02:57]), setting the tone for a night filled with confusing narratives and unexpected twists.
Aaron’s Over-the-Top Presence ([02:15] – [07:18])
A central plot revolves around Aaron, Denise's husband, whose grandiose presence is humorously exaggerated throughout the finale. Ben humorously remarks, “Either way, Aaron's got a big dick. Big dick” ([02:15]), which becomes a running gag as Denise showcases Aaron’s attempts to embrace body makeup, leading to awkward and laugh-out-loud moments. For instance, when Denise applies makeup to Aaron, he struggles humorously: “I can’t touch my arms to my side because I’m a man. A man with body makeup” ([06:53]).
Photo Shoot Fiasco ([07:35] – [17:12])
The hosts dissect the family’s troubled photo shoot scenes, highlighting the absurdity and lack of cohesion. Denise’s attempt to create Instagram-worthy moments for their pets culminates in hilariously failed interactions. At [09:31], Denise optimistically declares, “When Aaron gets there, I'll tell you what the name of her movie will be. Big Dick Not Missing,” which is met with incredulous laughter from Ronnie.
Red Carpet Parking Woes ([11:03] – [17:12])
A significant subplot features Aaron struggling to find parking at a high-profile movie premiere. The hosts mockingly question Aaron’s competence, with Ronnie commenting, “Is there like a valet? Isn’t there reserve parking?” ([16:21]). This leads to a series of misadventures, including Aaron’s confusion over parking signs: “I think big Pharma wants me to park here” ([17:15]), further emphasizing his incompetence in navigating simple tasks.
Repossessing the Car ([25:09] – [31:02])
The climax of the episode revolves around Sammy’s car being repossessed, adding another layer of chaos. Ronnie humorously notes, “Sammy’s car just got stolen” ([25:09]), leading to a flurry of blame and confusion. Ben empathizes with Aaron’s plight, stating, “It's natural. It's what happens with a man and a woman” ([19:56]). The discussion evolves into a comedic exchange about the realities of adult responsibilities, with Denise chastising Sammy: “You are old enough to be on an adult site, you are old enough to be an adult” ([30:12]).
Family Reconciliation ([36:33] – [37:31])
In a heartwarming yet comedic turn, the episode concludes with Denise and her daughters reconciling after a tumultuous shoot. Ronnie triumphantly announces, “So today, as a couple of hours ago, Lola has apologized for everything” ([36:33]), signaling a hopeful resolution. Denise adds a sweet moment, “Realize how much I miss talking to my sister” ([37:17]), balancing the humor with genuine familial bonds.
