Ben
No surprise there, because Wayfair has all things outdoor. I am in the market for for a nice outdoor coffee table. And I know that I'm gonna get it from Wayfair because I already looked and there's like five different ones I'm ready to buy.

Watch what happens. Watch what happens. Who cares what happens when there's so much what happens? There's so much that happens. Hello, and welcome to Watch what Happens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. This is part two of the recap. If you missed part one, go check out your podcast feed. It's right there. And without further ado, let's get right back into the recap. Yeah, this is. I. I crunched some numbers this afternoon because that's what men do.
Ron
He's a number crunching, this guy.
Ben
Crunch some number. 159 million.
Ron
Can you do this on PowerPoint? That would be.
Ben
I pulled up my Good Guy calculator.
Ron
I Apartments plus hugs plus ladies equal good nights. Good Guy calculator.
Ben
Well, I did some research for 45 seconds, and it turns out to run a bar, your rent should be 10% of your overall revenue, which means that at $10,000 a month, you have to be bringing in about $100,000 of revenue on top of the $600,000 billed out. Which is my way of saying, this sounds like a good idea.
Ron
You're fucked. You're fucked. That's what he's saying. That's Good Guy for you're fucked.
Ben
You're fucked.
Ron
So also, he has, like a. Why? What am I kicking? You know, I'm wearing boots today. I've already got gigantic feet.
Ben
Oh, wait, show up on your boots. He's wearing Texas boots.
Ron
Because, you know, we're still recording at our desks like the true fucking pros. We are. And I'm kicking my. Okay, sorry about that. Okay, so he has a GoFundMe or whatever for this bar, and he's like, all right, we just want to raise $19 trillion. We're just. It's just a soft bar. No big deal. Possibly a space station. I don't know. Donate $9,000 and we'll give you a hat that says soft. It's like, no man wants to wear that. Like, what man wants to wear a hat that says soft? It's already written all over my face.
Ben
No, everyone, it's okay. It's okay, because. Because I actually believe that Kyle knows the answers to all these questions, but doesn't want to humiliate Carl So he's pretending. He's like, oh, tell me what you need to do. I mean, Kyle is an entrepreneur. Okay? So that. Because. Well, because Carl's like, yeah, so we have 600,000 build out. And Carl's like. Which means it's going to be $900,000. Okay, keep on going, bro.
Ron
Sounds good.
Ben
Yeah, sounds great. And Kyle, Carl's like, no, no, don't worry. We have a really good business model.
Ron
And Jesse's like, you gotta sell a lot of drinks to make $600 Rome. He's like, oh, yeah, we have a good business model. I mean, look, it's risky. I know that, but I was engaged to Lindsey, so I'm still here. I'm gonna take that as a sign, and I'm doing it. Like, look, there's gonna be naysayers. I mean, look at me. I'll just finish it there. Really? That's all I need. Other than that.
Ben
People said I only had five sperm left, but I got 159 million bitches in here.
Ron
I was going to be people taking shots at you, bro. All right? There's going to be people. Probably Lindsay. What a bitch. Am I right?
Ben
You want to talk about Lindsay? You want to talk some shit about Lindsay? That's more fun. Because I. I'm getting depressed hearing your talk. Talk about your business. That's going to fail. So he's like, by the way, how are you handling that? How are you handling that with Lindsay and everything? Well, I mean, you know, I didn't expect her to. I mean, I don't know if you want my honest opinion.
Ron
Oh, yeah, I gotta be honest now. Hold on, let me touch all corner. Okay, let's see. Corner.
Ben
I gotta clutch all my chests because I'm giving you my honest opinion. So my honest opinion is, I think that deep down, she's not her. She's embarrassed.
Ron
She's embarrassed still. She's really embarrassed, you know? And, like, deep down, there's a part of her, you know, with the jabs, these comments that she makes at me. It's her trying to feel better about the embarrassment I'm feeling. You caused it, stupid.
Ben
You dumped her.
Ron
She's not embarrassed. She's pissed. You're lucky you have a nut left. You're lucky.
Ben
So then it cuts the shit. Then it cuts to Lindsey, who's in the throes of embarrassment. She's like, yay, I'm having so much fun, girl.
Ron
Star, listen, I don't know Lindsey personally. I only know Lindsay from this show, and I can tell you one thing. That girl is never embarrassed. No, that girl has never been in her life. She is not. Okay, so did you guys catch the extra on these guys? I hate that I'm saying tea. Okay, so she posted. Wait, who posted first?
Ben
So it was. There's a screenshot.
Ron
Yeah, she posted on her Instagram.
Ben
There's a screenshot of this scene where Carl just said that Lindsay is embarrassed. And Lindsay had some choice words about whether or not she was actually embarrassed.
Ron
1. What are we, in middle school? Embarrassed is not the word here. This man, my best friends of eight years, slash finance partner, parentheses, blindsided me and publicly humiliated me on a national delegate. And it capitalized both words with less respect than you would have your enemy. Why on earth in cabs when I need to go to a soft launch for his bar that wasn't even opening yet? Which brings me to number two.
Ben
I didn't attend said launch. Not because I was quote unquote embarrassed, but good try. I didn't attend because why would I go three hours and deep into New Jersey?
Ron
Oh, ouch.
Ben
In the middle of rush hour traffic on a summer, on a Thursday for a bar that that time didn't even have a location.
Ron
I would just like to pause the social media post to remind people it's got a big garage. Okay, continue. And now.
Ben
Now you're talking about the opening in Brooklyn, the complete opposite direction of New Jersey. Like, call me when it's actually launching, but I'm not gonna go waste eight hours of my life to him talking about potentially doing something at some point.
Ron
Maybe in the future.
Ben
Call me when it's opening and you have a sandwich for me.
Ron
God damn. Rebuttal. Rub a good guy rebuttal. This has nothing to do with her coming to New Jersey or the soft bar event, which was in New Jersey, which is beautiful. 10 hours in deep or not. I was asked a question by Kyle about while she's making jabs. Ow. Jobs. Ow. Ow. And I responded with an opinion in the moment. And I regret even saying anything about her because here we are with the post episode story rant and the bullet points about something that has nothing to do with our conversation.
Ben
I would like to have a rebuttal. Hey, Carl, if all you're getting from me are quote unquote jams, which is more than I got from you last summer after the insane disrespect and gaslighting that you showed me the season before, you should be finished thinking you're looking like someone is a little soft. I owe you literally nothing I shared a space with you all summer. We are not friends, nor will we ever be. Lindsay out.
Ron
Yeah, I like when she was like, you're worried about jabs. I could have cut your dick off on national TV and ate it, and I would have still been in the right.
Ben
Lindsay doesn't make jabs. Yeah, Lindsay does not make jabs. She will. She just.
Ron
She makes stabs. She makes stabs. She. She takes your stomach lining out. It's like she disembowels your ass. Okay, okay, so back to this. She's like. She's just embarrassed, guys. And, you know, and so they're like, well, yeah, I mean, it was kind of recent, Carl. And he's like, yeah, she's already pregnant. It's like someone's baby. So then we cut to Lindsey, and she's like, oh, my God, Lexi, I can't wait to hear more about you and Jesse. Can someone please get my baby a drink, please? Kicking.
Ben
Hey, Mr. Solomon fellow. Good guy. How are you feeling? It's like, oh, it's funny. I really thought it was all over. Oh, yeah, well, you know, I. I messaged you. Was it maybe Sunday night or Monday night? I forget which day of the week it was. Beast. But I was like, how you holding up, Solomon? Beast. And you were like, eh, Beast. So I was like, oh, Beast.
Ron
Guys, there is a male on Bravo in need of some vulnerability. So please, let's give them a monologue moment. Vulnerability. Well, guys, it all started when I was 18, 19. Put up a picture, guys. Put up a picture.
Ben
It's like.
Ron
He was an upside down mop in a static storm. I was like, what?
Ben
Why. Why did that look like it was from 1985? That was 2016.
Ron
I can see why this man is taking all the ass he can get. He just started getting it two years ago. I mean, they showed him three years. He's like. He blossomed. Let him get all the ass he wants, I say. So they show, and it's a prom picture. He's with this cute girl or whatever who was doing him a favor, let's face it. Like, where's her medal? Okay? So he's like, yeah, you know, I was. I just. I was 18 or 19. I was really in love with this girl, as you can see. I could feel true love. You look like a child. You're a toddler. But it was true. And then, you know, my best friend slept with her vulnerability. Thank you. So I guess that scarred me. Like, okay, Jesse.
Ben
All right, so now he has trust issues. And so that's why he can't be in a good relationship because of freaking thing that happened in high school. Got it. Got it.
Ron
He has trust issues, so he has to over every girl that he's with in case his best friend tries to do it first. I'm not really sure what his point.
Ben
Is, but last I checked, you were the one who was kind of making the moves on Sierra after the whole west thing, so. Yeah, I don't know how that works.
Ron
Lindsay's like, lexi was filling me in because I was, like, very nervous, and her and Jesse were done, so. And Lexi's like, yeah, but you know what happened this week? We had conversations, and, like, I was talking about how I was feeling, and then he was like, whoa, that's a new part. I didn't tell you that part before, but he was like, whoa. And then he told me what he was feeling, and then we had conversations about it.
Ben
She goes, am I, like, really going to, like, fully break up with somebody because he's bad at communicating? Yes, 100%. You answered it. Congratulations. It's like when he said last week.
Ron
He'S like, look, I just don't, like, I just don't want us to break up because of actions that I may have took. Why else do you break up?
Ben
Specifically when he said, look, I mean, if you take the toe sucking out of it, if you take the threesome that I decided to join in on with my foot, I mean, that's just an isolated thing. Other than that, I was great.
Ron
So what I said that Lexi just said that is what she said. Except it's this long.
Ben
Yeah, it's.
Ron
It's literature. It's like, who wrote this? It's long. I'm reading that whole thing. It was basically what I just said. She said, if you did a word search for communicating, it would show up 30 fucking times in this one paragraph.
Ben
Yeah, she does that.
Ron
She's like, but, you know, like, he says it's not his intention, but I'm like, but it happened. And you know what? Like, I need to have boundaries. And I was telling my mom and my sister while we were in bed, boundaries are important, you guys. And then my sister said, I totally agree.
Ben
Which is why I draw a very strong boundary around my lips. It's like a Mario Kart track.
Ron
Yeah.
Ben
So Lindsay's like. Lindsay's like, why was he talking shit about you? Oh, sorry. Cause Sierra was like, yeah, I got my own shit. And he's like, why? And so Sierra's like, I'm just saying, like, this Arm touching scene situation. Like, I'm just like, he can do have whatever boundaries he wants, whatever. But, like, it's totally fine. But like, you're flipping. You're flip fuck flopping. Like, she literally said flip flopping. Like, that's really hard to say. Like a fish. Anyway, Sierra's mad at Jesse.
Ron
Yeah. She's like, I got an earload for you. I was like, yes, Sierra. So then we go to dinner. Everybody's going, they're separating. To have kind of boring dinner separately, which is nice. So we go to West. And he's like, I'm just really trying, guys to be open and honest. Vulnerability. I, like, wasn't super open last summer, but hopefully I can work stuff out with Sierra. And everything's gonna be vulnerable and vulnerable and vulnerable and vulnerable and vulnerable. So they go, he's gonna be at dinner with Sierra and the gang, so he's terrified, and he should be. So he's like, you know what I'm going to do to show her that I'm really serious? I'm going to wear Duck Dynasty shorts. And I'm going to keep a scarf in my pocket just in case I need to wrap it around my neck later.
Ben
Yeah, I'll just dress like a bro Babushka. So then. So at one group, we have Jesse and Paige and others. And so Jesse orders a martini with blue cheese olives, and the restaurant actually doesn't have them, which is surprising. I personally thought.
Ron
Fucking monsters. So, Kyle, Kyle, I'm supposed to live like this. This is the third world. I pay taxes. Give me some fucking blue cheese in here.
Ben
Jesus, you're in the Hamptons, okay? Countess Luanda Lesseps lives down the street. You better have your blue cheese ready for her.
Ron
And Kyle's like, you know what? If they say they don't have blue cheese olives? You should be like, I'll take American cheese. And then.
Ben
You want to see some man cheese.
Ron
I'm sorry, Mom.
Ben
Paige is like, so. I love what Paige says. This Paige is like, oh, I will say Craig hates on me all the time because I love a craft single. You know what? Also, I love the idea of me being single. I want to. I want to model my life after my favorite cheese single.
Ron
I'm, like, literally jealous of my favorite cheese snack.
Ben
So they're all like, I really, honestly, I really supported Paige in this because she's like, honestly, it just makes good grilled cheese. And I firmly believe you don't have to have American cheese every day, but you need to have it on hand. Cause when you need that grilled cheese, I'm sorry, Cheddar will not do it. I am sorry. It needs to be American. It needs to be American. We're in Texas.
Ron
You're talking to a bunch of southerners we know. Melt it on a bag of Fritos and call me in the morning. You know, we know we eat breakfast commercials.

Find out during this scene that when Jess that when Craig has been visiting Paige, he has basically been using Daphne, Paige's cat daughter, for content as being content stealer.
Ron
And you know Craig has done that since the Naomi days, he's like, come on, Gizmo.
Ben
Yeah, Captain Gizmo.
Ron
It's like a little. You see, he does that. He dates women with cute cats, he gets some followers, and then doesn't follow through with anything else and ends up getting dumped and then spends the next year going, vulnerability. I got dumped and I was best friends with her cat. Now what do I do?
Ben
So then in the other place, so west as talking to Amanda and everything.
Ron
I literally thought this was my nipple. I'm wearing this, like, embroidered shirt and I went like this. I was like, oh, my God, they've fallen another 2 inches. I'm so sorry.
Ben
I just spoke to my doctor. Got two nipples, bro. So west is. Speaking of which, Wes is asking Amanda about Kyle's results. And Amanda's like, yeah, I just don't want to have a baby. And she tells us she's, you know, she gives a totally reasonable thing about how, like, she's just finally starting to feel like herself again. And then she knows being pregnant will knock her on her ass and she doesn't want to deal with postpartum. And she also just.
Ron
Just.
Ben
She already has a child and his name is Kyle, you know?
Ron
Yeah.
Ben
Don't need to go down this path again.
Ron
She doesn't even need to say anything. All she needs to do is just point at Kyle. Like, amanda, why don't you want to have a baby now?
Ben
Well, now I've got this whole Lexi thing sorted for the moment. And Paige is like, for the night, I'm gonna destroy it.
Ron
Like, guys, can I get some Sierra advice? Cause, like, today, like, Ciara was like, you're a two faced liar. Like, guys, what? And I was like, ow, Please, I've asked you not to touch my arm.
Ben
I love. Paige is like, her delivery was impeccable.
Ron
Yeah. Paige is like, I'm sorry, you're in the wrong crowd, but this audience does enjoy. Please keep going. Please keep going.
Ben
It's like, dude, I just want to apologize, but is she going to accept my apology? What if I smile even wider?
Ron
He's like, well, you know, like, this is the same thing that she did to Wes. Now I kind of feel bad for the guy and kind of like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. As a defender of women, as the 1 defender of women here, as someone who's possibly got about 80 million women Chinese version inside of him right now. You say, I think that's. I don't think you should blame the woman for that, bro. All right. Please buy limoncello, lover boy. Ladies, it's not out.
Ben
Lindsay is shocked. She's like, oh, my God, guys, therapy is actually working on you. Who are you seeing? Because I've been doing it for 20 years, and I'm still like this. But.
Ron
So Paige is like, west hasn't even talked this summer. Like, I don't. I don't even notice. Like, it's not just to Sierra. It's literally to everybody. He's speaking in scarves, and it's sad.
Ben
So now the other group, it's sort of like a sad scene. Lexi is. Lexi is like, hey, Wes, I saw your Instagram story. I saw about your friend who passed away last year. Like, how are you doing? So Wes sort of has this, like, tortured moment where he's kind of trying to share, but he kind of can't do it. And he's talking about it was an anniversary, and he's very sad. And they're all being, like, considerate. And Wes is saying how, like, it's just so strange because, like, a year ago, I was crying on Ciara's bed, and Sierra's like, I'm out of here. No. Bye. You can't pull this card on me.
Ron
I was there comforting you through the first time of tragedy. I'm not gonna sit here and cover your ass while you're using that tragedy for sympathy in front of me at this dinner table. Goodbye, bitch. Vulnerability.
Ben
It was great.
Ron
So that was sad. That was sad.
Ben
Actually, it was a sad scene. But I also love that it was a sad scene.
Ron
But I love that Sierra was like.
Ben
She's like, have your sad scene without me, okay?
Ron
And everyone's like, damn. He had his vulnerable scene. And Sierra just got up and left.
Ben
She's doing great work.
Ron
And then she comes back and they're like, are you okay? She's like, yeah. What's going on?
Ben
Just had some craft singles back there.
Ron
So now, by the way, this is really cool. Cause Emeril was at this whole dinner, and they literally show him sitting next to them. They cut him out. How could you even cut him out at a dinner? That's crazy. So Sierra comes back and she's like, you know, look like I was that guy's friend, and that's why it hurts so much or whatever. So Lexi's like, but I feel for you. Thank you for having a conversation. Cause you had that conversation then I had it. And now I'm gonna go to Jesse and we're gonna have a conversation about it.
Ben
So. So then we go back to the house. They're able to enter very easily because the door is fixed. And the big news is that Paige has picked up Sierra's still turned on curling iron. And I'm like, how did we not see this? I would have died to have seen Paige be like, oh, and my favorite part, My favorite part is that she kind of spends the rest of the episode trying to get Sierra to be like, oh, my God, I'm so sorry I left that on. Sierra does, because the rest of the time she's like, oh, yeah, no, I was up really late because I picked up Sierra's curling iron because it was still on. Anyway, I'm gonna go back to the city now because Sierra's curling iron was still on. Did you hear there's a new pope? Yeah, they liked a new pope because Sierra left her curling iron on.
Ron
Sierra's just laughing. She's like, yeah, I sat at dinner listening to Wes try and get sympathy. So who's hurt more in the end? Sierra's gonna burn down a house one day. It's not just because of that. Curling arches into her bed. This is how Sierra comes to the house. She's like, okay, my suitcase just everywhere. And then she's leaving fire things on. You're all gonna die.
Ben
I'm surprised there already hasn't been an inflagoration.
Ron
So, okay, so now Paige gets home and the girls have been separated for the first. I think the producers are like, girls, you have to get out of bed and talk to other people in the house. Like, no, no. All right, you can go to that party. You can go to that party. So Paige comes in the door and she just like looks up the stairs and runs straight up the stairs.
Ben
Oh, my God, I'm so glad I saw you guys. Cause I don't know if you guys heard, but I picked up Ciara's curling iron. So they really were. Lexi and Jesse are cuddling in bed and he's like, I miss you so much. You just sneeze snot on her face in the middle of your makeup sex.
Ron
Okay. So then the girls are talking about. The girls are in bed, and Amanda's like, you guys. Like, all I could think about this week was like, that you guys were mad at me. They were like. She was like, it really hurt. And Sierra's like, yeah, sounds about right.
Ben
She's like. And most importantly of all, we got one of our favorite traditions on the show, which is Kyle coming home drunk and having a late night binge. He goes into the kitchen, he pulls out. He pulls out a box of like, sad muffins. He's like, oh, man. Who eats? Who eats muffins? Who eats muffins? And then he just, like, opens up the box and sits down with a fork and a knife. He's like.
Ron
He does that thing where he's portioning it. He's like, I talk a lot of business. Like, five seconds later, he's like, I demolished that whole thing.
Ben
A muffin. But I gotta feed all those boys down there. It's my job. They're my sperm.
Ron
So let's see. So he's like, trying to play music. Everybody just goes to bed at Summer House. Like, what are you gonna do? They go to bed.
Ben
What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do, huh? They go to bed.
Ron
What are you gonna do? So the next day, Amanda's telling the girls how Wes started crying at dinner. And Sierra's like, yeah, you know, like, I thought it was going to be something else. And Paige goes, yeah, I thought it was going to be about his dating life or something. Like, I would be crying. Like, wouldn't you be crying? How is he not crying about his dating life?
Ben
Did you guys talk about Kraft singles? Because I totally did. Also, for the record, I felt like there was something very symbolic about Paige waking up with her hand on an actual chicken for the first time.
Ron
Yes.
Ben
An actual chicken.
Ron
She actually went to her own room because her hand was so hurt, and she went down and got the raw chicken from the thing. That's the first time she's actually gotten comfort from chicken.
Ben
Hi, chicken. I want to speak to you about something. I have now experienced the real thing. And in the spirit of craft, this.
Ron
Is the turning point in Paige's relationship. She's like, oh, my God, a chicken I can count on.
Ben
Wait, I can have a chicken that doesn't try to one up my career. You're coming with me. Purdue Farms.
Ron
Wow. A non hater chicken. It's amazing. So Paige is like, so, Sierra, do you think you'll ever be friends with West? And Sierra's like, like, who cares? Like, there's like a billion people on the earth. That guy. Yeah.
Ben
And they're all in my crotch. Yeah.
Ron
Yeah. 8 billion more riding here.
Ben
Like, watch out. Better get a sneeze guard, otherwise you're next.
Ron
So then Carl's big story from the night. He's like, guys, I took down a whole muffin.
Ben
At least change the story to make it seem more impressive. Be like, guys, last night I got drunk and ordered two pizzas. But like, don't be like, guys, last night I got so wasted, I Ate a muffin.
Ron
I am up muffin. It's just funny to hear a straight guy do that. Because gay guys, that's all our conversation. It's like, what you do last night. Oh, my God. I ate a muffin. The whole muffin? The whole muffin. Girl. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. You're gonna be fine. You're gonna be fine. No, I'm not. I'll gain five pounds from that one goddamn muffin. All week I'm gonna think about muffins. Cause now I'm addicted. It's back inside of me. You're gonna be fine. You just have to be positive. I had a piece of pizza. You had a piece of pizza. Why don't you open with that? Why do I have to have a muffin monologue? What about you, you fat bitch? Jesus Christ, Ron. Straight guys are like, I ate a muffin. Walk a mile. Walk a mile.
Ben
So they're gonna get ready. There's gonna be a beach day. There's gonna be a fun beach event that Gabby is organizing. And Kyle's like, gabby's coming? Is Emeril coming? Emeril's like, I'm right here.
Ron
They're like, ding. Just see a little arrow pointing to off the screen.
Ben
I look down, and there were two sets of footprints at an. That said the footprints, friend.
Ron
Oh, wait, the footprints have stopped behind this bush. The footprints are fucking another pair of footprints.
Ben
Wait, here comes some more footprints. Wait, why does the toe on that footprint look so wet? Active beach.
Ron
Oh, God. Okay, so Carl's like, give me the deep dive on what's going on with the girls, guys. And Jesse's like, yeah, you know, know. Lexi was like, it's over. You're the worst. And then she was, like, giving me all these reasons, like, why was the worst. And then one day, I just picked up the phone, and she said, are we getting back together or not? Like, what the hell? What? Mixed signals, right? She was waiting for you to fucking make an effort, Jesse. Jesus Christ.
Ben
I mean, she was like, it's your decision. And I was like, I don't even know that was on the table remotely. And then after Lexi and I talked, her mom and sister came to the apartment, and we all talked, and we decided that we were all gonna get back together.
Ron
So it's just quiet, and he's passing this off as normal. Like, yeah. Then the mom came, the sister came on me, and then the dad came, and. And Kyle's like, wait a minute. There was, like, three ladies There. Three of them. The makeup ladies. What are they doing there? Was it a debrief? What was going on there? And he's like. And Wes is like, yeah, that's, like, a lot. And like, he was, like, grinding on Lexi in front of her mom. It's really weird, you guys. And Paige is sitting there, and she's like.
Ben
What ill? She's like, I couldn't even touch Craig in front of my dad. I would feel so weird. Like, I don't kiss him in front of my parents. Or actually, I don't kiss him at all, really. But still, theoretically, it's disgusting.
Ron
And Jesse's like, well, I wouldn't do PDA with Lexi in front of my mom, but she just, like, goes for it in front of her mom, you know? Like, she's like. And Wes is like, guys, she was at the bar with us till 2am.
Ben
Yeah. And then they went to a club after that to see her friend, dj. And Wes is like, yeah, I'm trying to figure it out. And she's like, wait, I can't tell if I'm disgusted or so impressed. Because, like, that would be my dream. I can have kids and then go to the club with him and not hang out with Craig. Oh, my God. Amanda, get over here. Did you know you can do this?
Ron
And Jesse's like, yeah, guys. Like. And then after the bar, we went to a club. We went to the box till, like, 4:00am like, the box? You went to the box with somebody's mother? What is this box? I need to know what's going on.
Ben
I looked it up. It's like a kind of faux burlesque erotica, kind of trendy bar.
Ron
Ew. Tiffany and her mom, like, yeah.
Ben
Apparently it has a very. It's like a very difficult line. Like, you wait in line for a long time. But we know they were like, we are the line. Literally on our lips. Come on, let us in.
Ron
My sister's on Instagram. Motherfucker. Heard of it. Huge app. Huge.
Ben
She has velvet ropes on her upper lip. Okay, let us in.
Ron
The sister's like, do you want to rethink that and tell this nose? No.
Ben
The bouncer's like, I thought it was the cast of the Lion King.
Ron
Okay, just come in. Just come in.
Ben
Circle around the lips.
Ron
So Paige is like, that's like, another level up. And he's like, yeah, it is what it is. But they just like, that'll never go away. It's normal. It's not normal, you guys. It's weird. It's weird. To be doing that stuff in front of your parents.
Ben
It's fair. It's fair. It's a fair point by west.
Ron
I just like her thirsty ass family being like, yeah. Hey, honey, wanna go to the box? All right, Tiff, do you have the selfie camera? Going to the box. Get it. Jesse, ready for some content? We're boxing it up.
Ben
Going to the box. It's time for the box. Box. Three for the box, please. So Wes is like, yeah, I feel bad about ripping it, but, like, it's not normal. Like, I'm still kind of reeling from my. With Sierra, I'm learning the hardest way. Human positive. So if I can help Jesse and give him advice, that's what I'll do.
Ron
Yeah. He's like, but can I be honest? I love that they're both up. They're both crazy. I love that.
Ben
Hey, quick question, quick question. Does anyone know if Lexi's sister has 10 lines or.
Ron
Got room for one more? Good guy. So now Amanda is talking to Jesse and he's like, yeah, you know, now I'm feeling good about Lexi. I just need to feel good about Sierra. And like, oh, my God. Talk to Sierra. Surely it'll work out. Surely it'll work out with Sierra. Cut to Sierra light.
Ben
Amanda's like, whatever you do, do not make any jokes. He's like, yeah, okay. So then Amanda is like, you know, because honestly, like, we were all under the impression that that one day, like, you and Sierra were fully gonna hook up that night.
Ron
Yeah. Like, I was fully convinced that Jesse and Sierra were going to be dating by the end of the summer. Like, it's nuts. And everyone was convinced. Craig was like. Craig was so convinced. It was crazy. Like, Greg, Craig's literally hurting right now. He's upset. He's upset. Call Craig. Tell him I'm not calling him back.
Ben
That I'm like, so convinced. So basically they're like, just be transparent. Don't bullshit her and just say you're sorry.
Ron
Right.
Ben
So now they all go to the beach because it's beach day. Yay, beach day. Yay, beach day. And so Gabby is like. She's like, oh, my God. I'm so glad I'm finally back on the episode. And I'm so glad that no one wore shoulder pads at the beach.
Ron
As someone who wasn't cut out of this episode, how do you guys like tea parties? Because I'm having one today. So the girls are kind of talking and Lindsay's like, I'm pregnant. Like, we know Lindsay. Okay. It's like okay, so I'm like, you guys, let's talk about the boys. I heard Sierra said that Carl apparently did something with somebody. No, he didn't. I do not believe it. That man could not get it up for years, and now suddenly he's.
Ben
No, I know. That slut knows magic, but not that trick. By the way, this is also the two year anniversary of their proposal, which means we get. I was actually upset that they didn't do the full flashback of.
Ron
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. People, get out of the bushes. You're not getting the shot. Oh, my God.
Ben
Okay, Lindsay Dale Hubbard.
Ron
Oh, my God.
Ben
Will you give me the honor of being the biggest good guy in your life? Here, Softly, softly, take the ring softly. A thousand times, yes.
Ron
You wore shoulder pads to the beach, Linda Delhubern. Oh, how fast things change. Those shoulder pads were bad left. We all knew it. Paige called it. She was like, you wore shoulder pads to a beach?
Ben
I just love it. Two years ago, will you marry me? And now today, he hasn't fucked anyone in a year and a half and can't get his dick up.
Ron
So now everybody comes and Kyle's like, hey, part of you guys, let's have some guy talk. All right. It was kind of weird, you know, Mostly because I found out, like, my sperm is, like, 18 countries full of sperm. That was kind of weird. I was like, do we need to do any city planning in here? What the fuck? And then I, you know, I went up to bed and Amanda was sleeping. I was like. She got mad, but, like, I just needed to do it because, like, I like to wake her up because, like, I wasn't acknowledged, like, the whole day.
Ben
Amanda's sitting.
Ron
This is why your sperm are gonna shrivel up and be used never. Okay? You wake my ass up one time, you're dead head. I'll remove the sperm glands.
Ben
So Amanda's like, They're like, right next to each other. So she's like, okay. So she goes over to Kyle. She's like, okay, Kyle, I'm sorry I didn't congratulate you on your sperm.
Ron
Well, I didn't. I didn't give everybody the good news, guys. I talked to my doctor. I came three times. And then the doctor told me, your sperm is dope.
Ben
And the best part is the sperm all look like little cans of Liver Boy Limoncello.
Ron
So it's like, I don't want to talk about your sperm, Kyle. It's just like, I'm proud of you for having good sperm. Can we just concentrate on Sierra chewing the fuck out of Jack Jesse's ass, please. So Jesse and Sierra have the big talk. He's like, will you talk to me?
Ben
And she's like, where do you want to speak? So they. They go walk away. Meanwhile Kyle. And while they're like setting up their scene, Kyle is self conscious, cuz it's like a nicer setup. And he's wearing a tank top. He's like, I'm underdressed. So he's like. Like he decides he has to change his clothes. So then west holds up all these umbrellas. They're doing like a weird burlesque gay sex moment.
Ron
And got. What was that? That was really weird.
Ben
It was like.
Ron
Because this is not how you change your shorts. Jesus Christ.
Ben
But then when he does the reveal, he's just in a different bathing suit. I was like, what? Did anyone else see that? I was like, I don't understand this costume change.
Ron
So Jesse's like, all right, Sierra, let's have a talk. She's like, okay. You know when Sierra's so pissed, she's got like a piece of candy in her mouth that's invisible that she's like.
Ben
Yeah. And listen, she's still. She's still dealing with rage from the traitors. And I don't blame her. I would be angry also. So Jesse is like, hey, I just want to start by apologizing for you touching me so much. I'm sorry that I'm so attracted to that you can't stop trying to hump my arm.
Ron
No. It's just so hard, you know, you being so upset with things that you say I did. I just want to apologize for those things that you think happened. Maybe. Possibly. Am I doing this right?
Ben
I'm sorry you weren't able to control your emotions enough to stop flirting with me.
Ron
And she's like, yeah, I don't need you to feel bad for me. And I don't like even nurture friendships like this. This. So he's like, so I'm forgiven? And you're forgiven too, for all the, you know, like climbing you've been trying to do all over me and stuff like that. I mean, it's just a joke, right? You know, like I'm exploring a new relationship. What should I have done? Said, hey, it's really upsetting Lexi that we're so close, so maybe we should back off. And she goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, oh, not act like I'm arm raping you at some point. A cancer event. I know the was that.
Ben
And he has the.
Ron
They're going to feed people with. With cancer. And he's like, oh, how dare you?
Ben
He has the biggest frown on his face now. He looks like a grouper. He's like, oh, oh, I guess I should smile. He's like, this.
Ron
Then it's like this.
Ben
It's like the most perfect trapezoid you've ever seen. Oh.
Ron
So she's like, you should have sent me a text or called me. Like, you could have been like, our relationship makes her uncomfortable. Like, cool, okay, fine. But you know what? I'm just like. I'm not even upset. I'm just over you guys.
Ben
I'm just like. I just love how she just sort of dismisses them. And he's like, yeah, but you're.
Ron
Both of you just shut up. Just. Both of you be quiet. She's like, you've dated for five minutes. Why is this every episode? 40 minutes of you two? Like, how are you feeling?

He explains the financial expectations Carl has for his bar, highlighting the impracticality of his goals.
Ben [03:33]: "...run a bar, your rent should be 10% of your overall revenue,... which is my way of saying, this sounds like a good idea."
