Who cares what happens when there's so much that happen?

[Ben]

Oh, hello and welcome to Watch what Crappens. I'm Ronnie and that's Ben. Hello, Ben.

[Ronnie]

Hi, Ronnie. How's it going?

[Ben]

Good. Welcome to incel day on the Valley. I'm so excited. God, I've really wanted an incel meeting of man minds. And we finally got it.

[Ronnie]

Man time.

[Ben]

Didn't.

[Ronnie]

Weren't we just saying last week on. On our. On our Valley episode that this guy Scott looks like the sort of person who'd be working with Louie on New Jersey?

[Ben]

Didn't we just say, yeah, we did a full Louie segment on last week's episode. And here we are.

[Ronnie]

And here we are.

[Ben]

Wow. They say God doesn't listen to Watch what crappens. What if God was one of us? God is one of us. They're a viewer and a listener and they're leading this. So let's get going. First of all, we did a Love island recap today and Monday through Wednesday, basically is how they've turned into over on our Patreon. Those are so much fun. Thank you to all the new people on Patreon. We're like, totally closed off with you, so thanks for joining us for those. If you want video recaps instead of just plain old audio, guys, get them on our Patreon as well. It's called Crappin's on Demand. They're also released a week later for free over on the YouTube channel, which is, you know, watch what happens on YouTube. And this is crazy doing the Valley not with a live audience because, you know, we get spoiled. Last week was our final tour date. We did the Valley. Zach was there, Hannah Ferrier was there. We had so much. But here we are. Just with me And Ben. But you know what? It's our favorite audience, the people in our microphones. You right now talking interior here.

[Ronnie]

Ronnie, can I just say something? The lighting on you is excellent. I'm just looking at you right now. I moved around my windows, and you have the. You have both fill lighting and key lighting. Or actually, those are the same things, but, you know, no key lighting and fill lighting. You have them. You have, like. You just have like a. It looks like a cinematographer was in there right now. You have. You have the three of the three lights, right? The main light, the fill light to take care of the shadows, and then, like, the outline light, and you've got them all going on right now. It looks wonderful. Yeah, I'm just. I'm just looking at it. I look like I'm in a cloud because I moved my video into the teleprompter, and then I can't turn the brightness down, so the teleprompter is actually reflecting onto the camera, yada, yada. So I look like.

[Ben]

I thought you were moving over to, like, a Barbra Streisand filter.

[Ronnie]

No, it looks like a Barbra Streisand filter, but it's just because for whatever reason, I can't lower the brightness as reflecting onto the camera. So I'm like, hello.

[Ben]

It looks nice.

[Ronnie]

Thank you.

[Ben]

It looks like a music video.

[Ronnie]

Well, that's exactly what I was going for. You. If I do it, like, I can take it up and then I can't see you anymore. And I want to see you, especially since you have good lighting.

[Ben]

So I'm making you look fine. You need all the.

[Ronnie]

Oh, my God.

[Ben]

You know what? You have good face. You have a face card. You don't even.

[Ronnie]

Why My headphone just broke. People and everyone saw it happen on camera.

[Ben]

You know what? That has happened to me four times. I had to end up getting these ones that I'm wearing now, this different style because, look, there's like a little rubber thing. I'll send you the link.

[Ronnie]

Oh, my God.

[Ben]

Even though I sent you the link for those. So you probably don't trust me anymore. But don't worry. It. It's fine with just one ear. That's how I do it. There's no fixing it. Don't even try it.

[Ronnie]

I mean, I've been there. What a metaphor for the Valley. What a metaphor. This is like, you know, broken headphone while you're trying to look glamorous in your Barbara Walters filter, but everything's falling apart. The truth is that, like, you. You Think that. You think that you're adult and you think you're doing the right thing. You think you got your lighting and your teleprompter all set, but then your headphone breaks because the fundamentals aren't there. That is what the show is all about, you know?

[Ben]

Yeah. Guys, be careful before you tie your hitch to one pair of headphones. Okay, so here we are. Season 2 Episode El Coyote Ugly. Dun dun dun. It's a very clever title because they go eat it. El Coyote, which is a Vanderpump rule staple. If anybody doesn't remember, this is where we got to watch Kristen and Tom's relationship go to. You know, I mean, a lot's happened in this place.

[Ronnie]

So much, so much, so much history. I mean, these. These relations.

[Ben]

Katie and Tom. Why don't you correct me? Katie and Tom?

[Ronnie]

No, it was. No, but didn't Kristen and. Didn't Kristen and Tom Sandoval. Oh, no. They were at Korean barbecue when they had a big fight once. Yeah, hard to say. I mean, just all we know is that, like, a lot of drama has happened at El Coyote, which is amazing for a place that has only okay food, but maybe that's why there's so much drama. People are so dissatisfied with the food that they get that they're like, they have to take out their anger on each other.

[Ben]

You're a big Episode Coyote fan.

[Ronnie]

It's fine. I feel like you go there more for the ambiance. Like, the margaritas are really good. I remember their salsa being really runny. And then there was that whole thing back, remember, in like the late aughts. Because, you know, it came out that they. They supported Prop 8 or something like that. So everyone stopped going there. And at that point I was like, I'm gonna stop going there. Mainly because I'd rather go. I would rather go to El Compadre, which they also went to on this show. Or maybe Don Antonio's, which was made fun famous by Heidi and Spencer on the Hills. I just feel like there's other reality star Mexican restaurants in LA that I could patronize instead.

[Ben]

Yeah, well, you can patronize all those restaurants, but don't patronize me. So let's start this. We go to Kristen and Luke's house. They're having a very fancy lunch, you know, you know, sarcastically. But he's like, wow, babe, thanks for the fancy lunch. Travel, like quesadillas or something. And Luke is like, wow, now that we have a house, like, my perspective is totally changed on la. Maybe I could live Here when we have kids instead of going back to my shack with no electricity, with cows living in the living room and Montana or whatever.

[Ronnie]

I never envisioned myself raising a family in LA, but LA has been my home for almost 20 years, so it's kind of. Almost kind of feel like home to me now. And Kristen's saying, I just hope that when we get pregnant again. And by we, I mean me, but, like. But when we get pregnant again, I don't want cheesecake. And he's like, what? Why? Do you not remember how much cheesecake I ate in a month? He's like, I don't. I don't remember that. I think I blocked it out from the time that I woke up one day and I couldn't get through our living room because it was just stacks of cheesecake boxes.

[Ben]

Yeah. You know, here's the thing. Everybody loves Luke. Oh, my God. Luke's like the man of the show. He's like the best man. I can't. He's gonna last forever with Kristen. If you don't know that I need cheesecake when I'm pregnant, you're not the man for me. You better. You better know how to make that shit by now. You know, if you're trying to get me pregnant, you know, I want cheesecake. You better have a recipe. You better have it frozen in the thing in the fridge. Something. I mean, for him to be like, you like cheesec cake? Don't have a baby with this man. Why am I the only person raising a red flag, for Christ's sake? The man doesn't have electricity, and now he doesn't know cheese. He doesn't know you like cheesecake. Dump him.

[Ronnie]

I'm just. I've never in my life felt jealous of someone for being pregnant. Like, I've never been like, oh, my God, I want to be pregnant. I wish I could be pregnant. I wish as a man I could carry a baby. I've never felt that way, I think, until this moment when I realized, wow, if you're pregnant, you have license to eat as much cheesecake as you want. And I was like, I would love.

[Ben]

Yeah, but it's that superpower that you only have, like in a video game, where you get a superpower, like, that lasts five minutes because then the superpower is gone, and then you still want the cheesecake, and then you have to work the cheesecake off. You know, it's not. It's not as much of a win.

[Ronnie]

Well, the superpower works against you because it's like being like Superman and It's like, guess what? Now you can fly. And you're like, oh, my God, I can fly. This is amazing. And then it turns out, like, people who fly suck. And you're like, but I loved my power. It's like a thing that was so wonderful at one point and now is totally destroying you.

[Ben]

What do you mean people who fly suck?

[Ronnie]

No, I'm saying it's amazing because you get to have all this cheesecake. But yeah, once the pregnancy's over, now all of a sudden, you can't have the cheesecake anymore. And then you're stuck with cheesecake body. And it's like saying it's like being excited about having a superpower, and then all of a sudden, it's no longer cool to have that superpower, but you're stuck with it. So in my version of that, because the best metaphor I up with on the fly, pun intended, is that you have the ability to fly, but then it becomes socially unacceptable to fly, and then now you are ashamed of your flying.

[Ben]

Oh, my God.

[Ronnie]

I don't know why you're not.

[Ben]

I would die because I. But that would be like, flying. You're like, I finally get to fly. And people are like, excuse me, do you have a license to be up here? There are. There are news helicopters, sir. You'd be getting tickets and left in the right. It's just a new way to get a damn.

[Ronnie]

You're. You're making the non flyers feel bad. And so I think you just need to be more accepting of those people. So you're gonna have to ground you.

[Ben]

Love island told us to stop bullying, so let me tell you what's even worse, though. Having cheesecake body without even ever being pregnant. And that's what I've been dealing with my whole life. Why do I look like a cheesecake? Why do I look like a cheesecake that hasn't been cooked enough.

[Ronnie]

I need some cheesecake right now so badly. I'm not.

[Ben]

This show.

[Ronnie]

This show. Like, I'm not even joking. Like, I literally want some cheesecake right now. Like, I'm gonna text Dom and be like, can you please bring me back a slice of cheesecake from somewhere that.

[Ben]

Is someone that you should have a baby with? You see, because he'll do it. Not Luke. Luke's like, what's cheesecake? Get the fuck out of here.

[Ronnie]

Cheesecake. We don't have that in Colorado. We have bison cake.

[Ben]

He's talking about how much he loves Kristen. Their relationship's amazing. And he's like, not. He's Here for the long haul. You guys, he's here, like, forever. Okay. And then it just cuts to Kristen's face, like, cheesecake. And so now we. They're gonna keep trying to have a baby, which means Vulcan. So now we go to Danny and Nia, and there she doesn't want to sit down because she has a fresh spray tan on. But she's in good company because the ultimate spray tan walks in, and it's Zach. It's Zach with Benji.

[Ronnie]

And we got a lot of her. Like, she literally advertises to everyone about the spray tan. She's like, sorry, I can't hug you right now. I just got a fresh spray tan. Ma' am, would you like something to drink? What can I drink that goes well with a fresh spray tan? Please. I'll have that. Thank you. You know what?

[Ben]

Things with Benji have been really great because, like, before he even moved in, I never used my kitchen. But now he uses that. He cooks for me because, like, I can't cook anything. It's amazing having Ben.

[Ronnie]

Wow. You know what's amazing? Having a fresh spray tan. Also, is everyone ready for Hawaii? And Benji's like, yeah. Although you wouldn't know it from Zach because look at the way he's eating. He's like, yeah, I decided next summer. So Nia's like, speaking of Luke and Kristen and fresh spray tans. Well, we know, you know what? How to open Jesse's door. Yeah. I don't know why you guys can't figure it out. Bottom handle. No. About the engagement. Yeah.

[Ben]

Because there's certain ways that Luke has been acting around her, and he's just, like, even been more loving. Like, he let her turn on the electricity the other day for, like, 12 full hours.

[Ronnie]

So I was like, ding, ding, ding. Something's happening.

[Ben]

Yeah. You know what? What's. His buns. Kyle Chan actually paid for dinner the other day and said he has a sale coming in. So I figured. I figured something was going on for Kyle Chan. The only way I ever makes money is if someone on this cast gets married.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, I feel like something was going on because the other day I ran into Luke, and he had three cheesecakes in his hand. And I was like, why do you have those? He's, like, bringing them to Kristen. I said, oh, he's doing nice for doing something nice for her. So probably an engagement around the corner soon, right?

[Ben]

Yeah. So he's like, well, you know, Kristen has the nickname of Detective Doty, you know, and that's rubbed off. You know, a good Detective never reveals their sources. Kristen's never going to find out. Auto Rome. Because I'm going to tell everybody first.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, seriously. Well, Luke wants everyone to be invited, but since this is our trip, I feel like it wouldn't be very natural for us to invite Jad and Jason because I'm not sure they got fresh spray tans recently. So maybe you can do that. And could you extend that invitation? Yeah, I absolutely will. Yeah. Because I think it's pretty ironic that last year Janet had a trip that Kristen and I weren't invited to, and now this year I'm inviting Janet to a trip all about Kristen. So, Alanis Morissette, I think we got some new lyrics for you. It goes like this. It's like inviting Janet on a trip with Kristen after you didn't invite me and thought I was a murderin. Oh, you're welcome, Alanis.

[Ben]

It's like Alanis Morissette's famous song, Cheesecake. I'm a. I'm a lover. I'm a cheesecake. Who sings that song? I'm a. I'm a lover. It's not Alanis. Meredith Brooks.

[Ronnie]

That's ironic. It's Meredith Brooks. I believe Alanis's Cheesecake song because I've got one hand in my cheesecake and the other one is feeding it to Kristen.

[Ben]

You can. I don't know why I'm making Boys Don't Cry Meredith Brooks song or an Alanis song. This has gone off the rails. And there's a trash. There's a trash can outside. There's a trash truck outside. I'm gonna go jump inside it and take myself out.

[Ronnie]

I personally enjoy the idea of Zach and Meredith serenading each other with songs from the 90s like Lilith Fair's greatest hits. You already won me over despite of Kristen.

[Ben]

Well, let me tell you something. I've met Lilith, and Lilith is unfair.

[Ronnie]

I tried to bring my toddler to the Lilith Fair, and they said, no one under 18 is allowed. I said, well, why you call it a fair? This is clearly for children. And I said, you can leave. And they said, we can't leave our own fair. And I said, well, then I will leave and I will discuss all the rumors and then ask this about Sarah McLachlan.

[Ben]

Just another man. Come on. So then we get. And by the way, back to the show. Nia's like, you know, it would be unrealistic if we invited Janet. You know, it would be really realistic if Zach invited Janet to go to. How's it realistic for Zach to Invite Janet to Maui.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, seriously, that's. It's a stretch. I mean, it's actually. It would. It would be more realistic if Nia was like, well, I know we're going through a tough time, but I still want to invite you because I don't want you to feel left out. So either way, Zach is going to do it. Danny's gonna text the guys, and Zach will take care of, like, Janet and Janet and Jason. And then for some reason, Danny just goes, three under three, baby. This doesn't even have anything to do with the kids. Are you inviting the toddlers?

[Ben]

Three on the three, baby. So he doesn't want to text Jason. And Zach's like, no, you know, I guess I'll do it. Okay, should we go ahead and invite Kristen? And yes, it's time to invite. So now he facetimes Kristen, and he is like, oh, my God, Kristen, are you getting your Botox? And Kristin's like, no, I'm at home.

[Ronnie]

Eating, not cheesecake.

[Ben]

And then Kristen gives the least Botox face look ever. She's like, I'm at home.

[Ronnie]

I know. She really is. I'm gonna shoot this from a low angle.

[Ben]

She's like, kristen, I meant that as kind of a hint. So, by the way, I need to, too. My face is moving so much. It's disgusting. Someone actually said the other day, are you upset? And I was like, yes. How can you fucking tell? Oh, I guess your Botox is wearing off. Oh, let me go back.

[Ronnie]

Was it Kristen Doute herself? Hey, are you upset your Botox isn't working? So anyway, they're all gonna go to Hawaii. It's great. So now we go over to Jesse's house, and he's taking laundry out because he's a responsible dad. And guess who shows up? It's Scott, the life coach. The life coach, bro, with the beard and the bald head. And he comes in looking cool. And then all of a sudden, Jax shows up and everyone's. Everyone's coming in. All the. All the bros are arriving for a Scott session. And Jesse says, before I went to see Jax and picked him up at rehab, Scott said to me, I'm part of a men's group. Yeah, no, Sherlock. This guy is like the. Like, if you ask Claude AI how to. How to create, like, a prototypical men's group founder, it's Scott. Scott is actually an AI, like, like, manufactured presence.

[Ben]

Yeah, we knew Scott was a men's group type the second he was like, oh, yeah, better for. Better way for her to manipulate you, right? It's like, okay, okay. So you're. You're on the side of the douchebag, narcissist, emotional abuser. Jesse. Clearly. Nice therapy, buddy. Yeah. So he's like, yeah, men's group. I can't. I can't wait till we get to this section. Why should I open a door for a woman? What woman has ever opened a door for me? Feminism. Am I right?

[Ronnie]

We've been beaten down into being just shells of what we formerly were. God, women, they're the worst. But only men can really understand what men are going through, which is why we need to have a dedicated men's group that's different than men's chat, which is also a dedicated men's group. But that's the one where we get to be who we really are. And this is the one where we get to present who we want to be. All right.

[Ben]

Yeah, men's group. We get to come together and call. Call our wives whores in real life, not just on the Internet.

[Ronnie]

We're all going through personal struggles with issues that we've created ourselves. So getting a bunch of guys together to kind of hash it out for their own mental health and be kind of homoerotic about it, I think that's important right now.

[Ben]

From now on, we need to remember men only fuck over women. Am I agreeing? Let's get in here. Let's pump scrotums. Scrotum pumps.

[Ronnie]

Now, since all of you guys are too cheap to go to real therapy, we're gonna do my therapy instead, okay? We have a lot of resentments. We're gonna call that a list, okay? A list of resentments. Does that mean it's a list of lists? Because a resentment is a list. Precisely. And the way a list is cleared up is you find the hunkiest guy in the room. So, Jason, would you stand up? Okay. I'm gonna put my hand on your chest. You've been working out, bro. This is nice. Nice round mound in my hand. Okay? You put your hand on the man's face.

[Ben]

It moves down a little bit. Just move it down a little bit. And cough. And cough.

[Ronnie]

Yes.

[Ben]

Okay, you're gonna feel my finger rubbing your taste a little bit. Okay. How does that make you feel? Does that make you feel?

[Ronnie]

Well, I'm a little bit uncomfortable. You don't say anything right now, okay? Okay.

[Ben]

So the stink really makes you think, Am I right?

[Ronnie]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Okay, tell me how you're feeling.

[Ronnie]

Now, if you guys want to do this shirtless, please be my guest. It's men's group. Anything goes in here. It's not gay. All right, so you put your hand on the perfectly shaped bosom, and then you say, hey, you did this. And it made me feel this. And we're doing it for this man. And to be able to let it go. Okay, so I know you're all confused, but this man, that's me. That man is him. This man touches the body part. That man just has to be quiet about it. And this man just airs all sorts of bullshit. And that man just has be quiet and then hug afterwards. Does everyone follow how this goes? Okay, who wants to start?

[Ben]

Yeah, so we're gonna. I'm gonna invite a man up here to clear a list. First thing on my list, get me inside of you. Okay, who wants to go first? And Jack's like, why is everybody looking at me? I'm not even going on this stupid trip. I just. I. I see myself being able to go on a trip right now, guys. Okay, violins, please. Like, poor expl. Jack's about to get a finger up his ass. So Scott's like, I'm not looking at you, you're looking at me. He's like, I'm just listening. So I'm taking it in right now. Yeah, you are. Just the tip. Just the tip. All right, who wants to start, guys? Who wants to start? So Jesse starts.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, you know what? I invited you all here. I've got the most prominent hair dent, so I'll start. Okay. I feel like I've been, you know, clearing some lists with everybody except for my ex wife. God, she's a. So I'm gonna start with Luke. And by the way, I just want to tell everyone that later I. When I have this, when I have to clear a list with Aaron, I will do exactly what we learn here to do. Except I won't do any of it. I'll just yell at him. Okay, great. Luke, I'm gonna put my hand on your chest. All right? Just do it right. And Luke's like, oh, I give you permission. Just Kidding. So, Jessica. Okay, all right. All right. Here we go. So with your blind loyalty to your girlfriend because you're a pussy, I don't think we all acknowledge you're a pussy. With your blind loyalty to your lying, annoying girlfriend. I was hurt by that. I was hurt by your lack of balls and an ability to stand up to a woman. For you, letting a woman just tell you what to think and feel, that made me feel hurt. And, you know, I was angry. It made me angry. Made me feel aggressive. But I'm willing to let go.

[Ben]

Yeah, the way. The way that you stood up for your woman when I physically came for her at a party. Really hurt, bro. Is Jesse fucking for real?

[Ronnie]

But I'm willing to let it go, man.

[Ben]

But I let it go. You're welcome. You're welcome, bro. Made me feel angry. It made me feel. Want to be aggressive. It made me feel like, does this headband even work anymore? But you know what? I'm gonna let it go. Do I have to stick my finger up his butt? He does not trim his taint hair. Okay, we'll pass on that one. We'll pass on that one. And this guy's like, have you guys heard that they made, like, cake out of cheese? Is that a thing? Is that really a thing? Kristen insists that that's a thing.

[Ronnie]

Your term will come up soon. Scott. Just hold on. Let me. Luke. So Scott's like, okay, who's next? Jax. Jax. Scott the entire time is like, this is my white whale. Like, if I can fix Jax, I'll be legendary. So Jax is like, yeah, so basically, can I just sit here and clear my list with everybody? He's like, no, no, no. I'll hold the place. I'll do it. Okay, put your paw on my chest. Okay. Jax is like, could you just rest.

[Ben]

Your nut sack inside of my mouth? And then that energy will go to all of the guys in the group. Jax is like, okay, my first time. You're gonna pay my mortgage, right? That's how it works in Miami. He's like, okay, just. Just go. Jax, go ahead. Now I'm ready.

[Ronnie]

Jax, I'm ready. Go ahead. Go ahead. Guys, I. You know, I've been having a really. A really tough time with my life right now. And it's just like, I'm sorry. I'm just like, hold on. Hold on one second. Hold on. Let me apply some teardrops, okay? I just. I'm an angry human being. I've been like that my whole life, and I take it out on everybody, you know? Everyone else, my anger. And, like, especially my wife. I mean. I mean, she's a bitch. She's an idiot. I can't stand her. She's cheating on me. And she just makes me so angry. It's like. Like, I have to say, it's not even my fault, but I'm just so angry. And, like, I thought I didn't have that anger, but she makes me angry. And she's like the person who's actually the one who's ruined me right now. Still a lot. And I don't want to be like that anymore. I don't want her to turn me into that person anymore.

[Ben]

Yeah. And then they all hug. And Scott's like, yeah, but you know what, Jax? People watch you, okay? You're a television and a film star. You're one of our most prized authors in this country. And there's a little boy inside of you, and he's screaming to come out. And he's saying, please stop getting facial surgery. It hurts. And be vulnerable and cry. Stop wearing so much. So much. Not bleach. Blush. Thank you. Thank you. I was. I was having trouble with words with your nutsack in my mouth. But listen, you're a model. And you're also a model for. Not only a model for underwear. In the past.

[Ronnie]

The way past.

[Ben]

Whoa. Those times have passed. Hey, boat, come back to da. Come what? Model. Model. Boat's gone. But you can still be a model for people, okay? And you know how you do that? You kill them. You take their skin and then you wear that and model it for other people. Okay? But until then, people are going to be. People across the world are going to see you and they're going to want to be like you, Jax. Okay? I'm proud of you, dude. You're on tv. And now I'm on tv. I won. Did you come? I did. Okay. This was good. Guys. I've been paid in sperm. It was my own. I will still eat it.

[Ronnie]

It.

[Ben]

Thanks for coming.

[Ronnie]

Jax. Yeah. So that was Jax's therapy. So now. Okay, who's next?

[Ben]

By the way, Jax admitted nothing. He just yelled at people that he was angry. He just.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, he just used buzzwords. I'm angry. I've always been angry.

[Ben]

So then, about himself, instead of clearing any list with anybody else. Of course. Jax doesn't even know how to do the group therapy. And the fucking star man Tate, whatever his buns is, can't even ask the question to make him do the therapy. What's that guy's name?

[Ronnie]

Andrew Tate. Yeah.

[Ben]

The Andrew Tate. Ball swallowing motherfucker can't even keep on task. He's like, oh, it's great. Group therapy where Jax just talked about himself, took no responsibility. Who's next? Let's get the little one. Come on, little guy.

[Ronnie]

All right, all right, all right, all right. Okay, three under three. Jason, I think we have a moment. Does anyone have a step stool? Okay. Okay. Hand on your chest. It is. It. It is an impressive chest now that I feel it. Listen, listen. I love you, dude. And I definitely didn't show that last week. I shed things to your wife I shouldn't have shed. And I feel really bad for Shang. Those shings. And I just, you know, it's just. It's a lot. And you know what's funny is that as my hand sits here on your. On your pectoral, it does sort of feel like Jasmine's butt a little bit. This is impressive. A lot of round body parts in this group, huh?

[Ben]

Feels weird touching you so intimately without having drinks first. But you can't call me Daddy if that makes you feel any better.

[Ronnie]

Okay, well, I appreciate that a lot, Daddy. Yes. You know, Daddy's a genuine guy, and I thought 100 believe him. But, like, somebody can apologize all day, but unless they make actual changes, you know, what's the point? Like, we're just wasting time. So I don't know if I'm at a place I can fully let everything go, Daddy. But to be honest, I'm just gonna work on it. The fact that you call me.

[Ben]

You know, I'm sorry. I would let this go, but Janet hasn't given me permission yet, so we have to put a pin in that.

[Ronnie]

Daddy. Okay, this isn't exactly what I wanted to hear. I mean, but to be fair, what I really wanted to hear was, congratulations, Danny. You've been hired for three more seasons of the Walking Dead. Hey, he doesn't have that authority. I understand that, but it's going in the right direction. So I can only just change my shelf right now and build and grow, bro.

[Ben]

So Jason's like, yeah, for me, my biggest thing in coming here was me and my wife's relationship with Danny and Nia. And there's been, like, a black cloud. And, you know, I'm married to her, and the black cloud needs to be repaired. Okay? Because it's big. It's big. I need the black cloud to be contained. Please contain Janet. Somebody please contain Janet. And Jesse's like, right, right. Yeah. Because the conversation's been about drinking. Meanwhile, we start this, which is the Part we forgot with Jesse going, all right, guys, we've got cybencillin drinks. We've got weed, we've got drinks if anybody needs that. Okay, so that's how Jesse started this therapy session. And now moving into. Yeah, the drinking's a problem with Dani. It's a real problem. And, you know, it's not even the sneezing. Dani, sneezing in the middle of sentences is a huge problem. And you know what? It's not just that. It's the hiding. It. It's the hiding the drinking. And Scott's like, whoa, you're hiding your drinking. So I'm assuming. Not that anybody's told me anything about you, except that you're a goddamn tiny person alcoholic, is that you're going to the bar, getting a bunch of drinks and then leaving back with one and pretending like, well, I just had one drink. And Jax is like, yeah, it's disgusting. He's a disgusting alcoholic. And Danny's like, well, that has happened, I guess.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. It's actually kind of hilarious because Scott, whether he was told ahead of time or not, just does kind of nail Danny's behavior, which we could all tell is Danny's. What Danny has been doing. And Danny's like, ah, yes. I mean, but when I do do it, I do it quickly, and I do do it under three minutes. Some would say I have three. Under three. And then I go back to the table.

[Ben]

So it's got like, I'm not hiding my drinking from my friends. I'm hiding my drinking from my wife. Isn't that loud.

[Ronnie]

I do tell everyone about it in Boys Chat.

[Ben]

So then I did it right in front of Janet. I just didn't want Nia to know.

[Ronnie]

So Scott's like, yeah, when you're drink, when you're hiding, that's implied dishonesty. And Danny's like, I know there are areas I need to work on or areas where I could work, like Burbank or even Hollywood or East Hollywood if they opened up a studio there. But anytime people are coming after my character, which did take me a long time to get into because I did take classes at Utahagen. It doesn't shit well with me.

[Ben]

Yeah. And Scott's like, well, you know what? We're. We're sneaky, right? We're squirrely. Am I right? Is there a man here that would not admit to being squirrely? Jax, you're tapping your leg and your shoulder and your knee and your elbow. Jax, are you here? What are you snorting? Jax. Okay, Jax, is hiding his head from us, which is okay. Right now, it's probably just a little cocaine, which is okay to hide because that's illegal. Am I right? God, I love Jax. I'm a great therapist, okay? Call me 1-800-All right, man.

[Ronnie]

All right, guys, I know we're all a bit squirrely, so in the spirit of that, I've brought a little squirrel here. I want you all to put your hand on its chest and clear the list with a squirrel as you've taken its identity.

[Ben]

We're going to squeeze the chest, and the squirrel is dead. We are men. We are squirrely men. Kill the. So he's like, guys, we're on a journey together. And while you might feel alone, you're in a partnership with each other. All right, everybody, I'm going to get on my knees. The rest of you are going to unzip and surround me and cover me, Intercede. Okay, great. Thanks, guys.

[Ronnie]

I'm sensing there's a lot of tension in this room, and I think you all just need to be relieved. So let me be your vessel. Wow, great. Great therapy work there.

[Ben]

On my list, bucocking me. Okay?

[Ronnie]

You're in a partnership with each other. Wow, this is great therapy. What a great conclusion to come to. I think the problem is because they're in a partnership with each other. I think that's where this all started. So now we.

[Ben]

Scott. So you got a bunch of people together. Nobody admitted anything that they did wrong, and you've just told them they're all correct because they're men. You are really something. Great. Great work, Scott.

[Ronnie]

Well, don't worry, Ronnie. The women have a much better way of handling their issues. So we go over to El Coyote, and the whole group is there, and Sheena's like, oh, my God. I have. I haven't been to, like, El Coyote in, like. Like, 45 years. Like, this is, like, crazy. I wonder if they have enchiladas, if they, like, would care if I brought enchiladas back there. Because then, like, we could have, like, an enchilada off, like, El Coyote versus Gina's famous Angelados. Like, that would be, like, hilarious.

[Ben]

I hope they play my favorite song. I, I, I like macaroni. I like macaroni.

[Ronnie]

How you like them?

[Ben]

A BB Alas M A N A M A N S A N A S How you like that?

[Ronnie]

E N C H I L A D A S How you like that? How you like that?

[Ben]

So, so they come in, they're all like, hi.

[Ronnie]

Hi.

[Ben]

Hi. Then it's an awkward silence. And Janet's like, I'm a bit nervous to see Mia. Things are not going great there. But, you know, it's girls night. What's the worst that could happen? Let me show you because I'm going to do it. I'm going to. I'm going to be the worst some Janet.

[Ronnie]

This is a thought experiment. So they're all in this because it's a reality show. They all have to sit in this big, long table, but, like, in a U shape, they can't actually sit, like, normal. And so as a result, you have. On one side you have Kristen and Nia, and the other side you've got Michelle and Jack.

[Ben]

It.

[Ronnie]

So the feuding parties are all separated, and in the middle you have, like, the neutral parties. So Kristen, like, Nia's saying, like, this is very intense. Like, I'm not gonna go out of my way to make conversation down there, especially across the table. And she's saying that she and Janet are definitely not good and that Janet was focused on other people's relationships and marriages and yet never seems to share much from her end.

[Ben]

Yeah. So Nia announces that there's a Maui trip coming, and Michelle announces that Aaron's. And everyone's like, oh, my God, Yay. And she's like, yes. I'm excited because I feel like Jesse is not going to be playing games if Aaron is around. He only misdeeds women, never men. Are you kidding? What, you think that's gonna stop him? Girl?

[Ronnie]

Yeah, that's. I don't see how Aaron being there is going to actually make Jesse act more normal.

[Ben]

No.

[Ronnie]

By the way, I have to say, in the middle of this, the waiter came by and, you know, normally we don't. They take so many orders on Bravo shows that we don't normally highlight them. But I rewound it and watched three times when Brittany was like, I'd like some Chinese fajita, please. Chicken fajitas. Can I have some chicken fajitas, please?

[Ben]

She ordered cheese fajitas.

[Ronnie]

No, chicken fajitas. Her voice got so high and squeaky, she's like, chicken, please. I should have recorded it because it was. I will record it. Because that was. It was just like this little bubble cartoon.

[Ben]

So Jasmine's like, well, well, you know, that kept telling me, like, there's so much going on in this trip. Like, there's something surprising. So I'm like, what's gonna be surprised? Like, it's crazy. Like, okay, let's think of surprises like pregnancy, marriage. Like, what Is it. What's it gonna be? Who's here? Who here is not married? Kristen's not married. She could get married. I mean, Michelle, is somebody gonna propose to me? Is somebody gonna, like, who's it gonna be, Kristen? Kristen, are you getting married? Are you getting proposed to? Is he getting a ring? Oh, my God. Kyle Chan called me the other day selling a ring. Like, that's crazy. Like, he even offered to buy me a drink. It's nuts.

[Ronnie]

Seriously. Quiet. It's a secret. Dan and I are gonna plan a secret surprise.

[Ben]

Oh.

[Ronnie]

It's gonna be an engagement. Engagement ring. No, wait. I literally said nothing about that. Why are you saying that in front of Kristen?

[Ben]

But of course, that goes and ruins it. He's like, I'm not gonna tell you what it is, but it's a surprise. And cheesecake is real.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. Why is Zach doing this? And then of course, like, Jasmine, who's like, anti detective and can't even, like, deduce what might be happening, so she just, like, blurts it out. So then Michelle is like, by the way, before we move forward, because I just want to move on with my life. It's been brought to my attention that a lot of people keep talking about my boyfriend and people he has slept with in the past. So, Christine, obviously, you and I have gone through a lot, but he slept with Jenna back in 2020. They had Covid sex. And Kristen's like, what? Seriously? This has nothing to do with me. I don't even know what you're talking about. What does this have to do with me? What's going on? So Michelle is referencing the fact Kristen.

[Ben]

And not Sheena is my question.

[Ronnie]

Yeah.

[Ben]

How is Sheena not like, this is so she. This is so Sheena. And then Sheena runs around telling everybody about it, you know, know she wants it.

[Ronnie]

She wants to be blamed. She is literally sitting dead center amongst all the women. She's practically wearing a T shirt. She. I'm surprised she's not wearing a T shirt that just says team Jenna on it for no good reason. She's like, would you like me to weigh in on this conversation? Because I can do that.

[Ben]

And Kristen's like, I didn't do that. And Michelle's like, outed Jesse know that one's upon a time, Jaron, Jenna and Aaron hooked up because Jenna showed up at a party and told him. But how's that anybody fault but Jenna's, you know, and maybe you shouldn't be stealing other people's men anyway if that was the case. Because who Wasn't it the rumor. Well, the rumor online, who knows what the truth is, but was that Michelle was the one that didn't. I don't know. I don't remember it anymore. Who. Who knows? But this group is also incestuous. They all fuck each other. And Jenna's been trying to get on TV for, damn, 10, damn near 10 years now.

[Ronnie]

Now she keeps.

[Ben]

She keeps cheating with people and working her way onto this show. Blame Jenna. Stop blaming everybody else.

[Ronnie]

Well, it was funny because.

[Ben]

Also blame Aaron. Aaron banged Jenna, so why is everyone else getting in trouble except a man? Again?

[Ronnie]

Also, just be more secure. Just be more secure in your relationship, okay? If you know that the Aaron did not cheat on you, if you know that this happened in 2020 or whatever, then just be like, whatever. She's trying it. But, like, I got my man and I'm happy with what we have. Like, don't be like, don't. Like, don't. Don't, like, lash out like this.

[Ben]

Yeah, but it's none of his goddamn business.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, exactly. And so what's funny is that it's actually Zach is the one who really. Who really pushed this together, because Kristen invited Jenna to the party, but she claims she just invited Jenna. She wasn't trying to stir any up, but Zach was like, hey, by the way, Jesse, you have to talk to Jenna. Jenna slept with Aaron. Yeah, she loves Honey. Yeah, he cheated on Michelle with. With Jenna, but also Jesse. But also he cheated. She cheated on you with Aaron. They were all cheating behind your back. Go talk to her now. Do it. Yeah.

[Ben]

He's like, it was never Kristen. It was Zakatha all along. So Kristen's like, no offense, but, like, I don't give a fuck about anybody's relationships.

[Ronnie]

You know that person in your life.

[Ben]

Who just can't stand mayo? Call them traumatized. Call them closed minded.

[Ronnie]

We get it.

[Ben]

They're stuck in their ways. But here's the thing. They just haven't tried Hellman's flavored mayo. We're talking bold flavors that will flip even the biggest skeptics. Spicy mayo that adds the perfect kick to your burger. Garlic aioli that transforms ordinary fries into something extraordinary. Chipotle mayo that turns your basic wrap into a smoky sensation. So to all the mayo haters out there, yes, we're looking at you. It's time to eat your words. Because with mayo this flavorful, any hater is just a mayo lover waiting to be convinced. Hellman's flavored mayo. Get ready to eat your words. Today is the worst day of Abby's life. The 17 year old cradles her newborn son in her arms. They all saw how much I loved him.

[Ronnie]

They didn't have to take him from me.

[Ben]

Between 1945 and the early 1970s, families shipped their pregnant teenage daughters to maternity homes and forced them to secretly place their babies for adoption in hidden corners across America. It's still happening.

[Ronnie]

My parents had me locked up in the godparent home against my will. They worked with them to manipulate me and to steal my son away from me.

[Ben]

The godparent home is the brainchild of controversial preacher Jerry Falwell, the father of the modern evangelical rite and the founder of Liberty University, where powerful men ended boldened by their faith, determine who gets to be a parent and who must give their child away. Follow Liberty Lost on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Ronnie]

So of course Janet weighs in and she's like, you went behind Michelle's back and said that she was a cheater. And so we flash back to last year until years ago.

[Ben]

God, cry harder. Who cares?

[Ronnie]

Why are you getting involved? Also because she loves the drama. Yes, yes, agreed. Cheesecake, please. And Nia's like, yeah, she loves it. And Janet's like, okay, whatever. But meanwhile, it's true. Janet loves the drama.

[Ben]

Yeah. And Michelle's like, well, my ex husband aids me. He aids me. Kristen's like, no, Michelle, you know what? I understand that you're going through shit. Okay, well, yeah, she just thinks that.

[Ronnie]

They'Re trying to ruin her relationship.

[Ben]

You know what that means? What if somebody tried to get come between me and chicken Vienna's?

[Ronnie]

I'm not, therefore I will not inter intervene. She's like, but he is trying to ruin me. I will not bring Jenna around somewhere that you and Aaron are going to be. But you already did, Kristen. Which I didn't, by the way. Didn't even cross my mind. Because you know what? I was thinking about cheesecake. Even at my housewarming party, I was like, should I make this cheesecake warming party? I mean, even though you guys could not call, it did not even cross my mind.

[Ben]

And so Janet's like, well, I'm so frustrated that Kristen's like, what, Jenna? Who? What? Who? What?

[Ronnie]

Huh?

[Ben]

Look, shut the up. You know what you're doing, Kristen? And she says, yeah, you're doing the dirty work, Kristen. You're doing the dirty work. Jesse's the toxic one here, you know, Hello. Like, why are we fighting? Like, it's so annoying. We're fighting with women again when you've Got the man right there. And Jan is like, well, I mean, if you. I don't see that Kristen's doing this. Come on, come on. I'm getting upset because I'm watching Kristen. Sniper from the side. That's right. I'm stealing an Erica Jane Jane line. Now she's ride or dying for Nia, and she'll do almost anything, including taking down my marriage and taking down Michelle's relationship.

[Ronnie]

I think we can retire the concept of snipe being a sniper from the side. I think that's just like inherent in the word sniper. Sniper. Like the point with a sniper is that they're far away and they shoot you. It doesn't matter what direction it comes from.

[Ben]

That's such a good point. Snipers have, like, viewfinders for a reason. Okay? They literally have telescopes.

[Ronnie]

The snipers, they're most likely gonna snipe you from the side. That's usually the way it works. If they snipe you from the front, it's really the same effect. It's just a sniper.

[Ben]

But Janet only knows how to speak in fan language. So she says sniper from the side. She doesn't even say. She's like sniping from the side. She. Because she doesn't know how to reform the old Bravo. The old Bravo line. So she's like, I think what she's doing is sniper from the side, okay? So Kristen's like, oh, this is a conversation that Michelle and I could have had without you being involved, Janet. She goes, yeah, cuz we. We hold you accountable. That's why that's me Janet. Ms. Accountability Janet, come on.

[Ronnie]

She's like, well, a word. Accountability. A word you can't stand. And Jasmine's like, I just want the old jazz, the Janet back. Like the fun Janet, you know, the one you want to be around. Like this Janet not so much. Don't want to be around her.

[Ben]

Yeah. And Chris is like, I'm done being disrespected as right now. I will take my cheesecake to go. Goodbye, Kristen. Out. Goodbye, Mary Posa. Flying away. Bye. And so she leaves. And he is like, oh, don't leave Kristen, but you don't have to leave. And she's like, I can't take it. And Janet's like, oh, no, I'm fucking done. I'm done with this. Bye, Kristen. Bye. And Nia's like, well, I can't take it either. This is so hard. This is like I'm crying now. She goes, oh, my God. Why are you crying, Nia? Jesus Christ. Just like. Because this is just too much. It's not even a real question. It's just intense. And she goes, oh, yeah. Always the tears when it's too intense. Poor little Nia.

[Ronnie]

Nia, are you okay? Would you like to share with me? Should I say something right now? Your husband has a drinking problem. Did that make you mad at me? Do you want to have a feud? No, this is just too intense for me. So then Janet's like, oh, it's always tears. Always intense. Janet, that is rude. If you were angry at me for taking Nia side, we can have a feud for the TV show if you want. Neil's like, you. You. I'm gonna leave with my fresh spray tan that almost melted off. Yeah.

[Ben]

So Nia gets up, and she's like, bye, loser.

[Ronnie]

Bye.

[Ben]

And just making an ass out of herself, you know, over of. Really nothing. It's not even a fight with her. It's like, it's supposed to be a fight with Michelle and Kristen, but now it's just turned into Janet yelling at everybody in a bad dress.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. And Janet's really going off. She's like, you're. You're gonna. You're not gonna say, my husband's taking his ring off while your husband's ass grabbing? And Brittany's like, well, he's not. Went to. And now I'm just terrified that this Hawaii trip is gonna be a disaster. Can I get some more chicken vias, please? Thank you.

[Ben]

And she's like, you know, who wants to cry? I want to cry. And she slams her drink down. Janet, you're trying too hard for you have nothing going on. Change your outfit. Get. Was this the part where she talked about magic? What was the part where Janet talked about.

[Ronnie]

No, it's. It's right here. So. So after the scene. So now the. The El Coyotesina is over, and they all go to a park. They go to the Pan Pacific park to do, like, a field day or whatever. And so they're all showing up, and Michelle is like. She's like, I am. Jenna is there. Jenna is an ump for these games. And Michelle's like, I am literally annoyed because ever since Jenna found out that I'm with Aaron, she just wants to be around all my friends. And Jasmine's like, oh, yeah. I definitely invited Jenna to be a ref before El Coyote. And unfortunately, one of the rules of Field day is that when you hire someone to be a ref, you cannot fire them. It's a big legal process. So she's just stuck with us for Two today.

[Ben]

So Michelle's all pissed off. By the way, Michelle, Jenna has been thirsty long before you ever arrived on the scene. Okay? She cheated with James. She cheated on. Wasn't she? I remember. So many people have cheated on each other on this show. I am forgetting. But she's been cheating with people a long time before you ever got here. Trying to get on this show. Okay, it's not just umpire day, so.

[Ronnie]

I'm telling you, I still have my empirical evidence of watching her flirt with Tay Diggs while he was still with the Dean Menzel. How rude. How rude.

[Ben]

So Brock says hi to Michelle, and he's like, what's that look for? And she's like, not you. You are. You are standing in front of the Reverie, and it is the Reverie I am coming for. I'm giving you honey eyes. New version of honey eyes. So Melissa blows the whistle. It's time for field day. Jax is there, and he's miserable. He's like. Like, here we are gonna do this on my show. Why we gotta do this kind of thing about, I don't like doing this on my show. These people. Jack's just got home. Why is Jax even here?

[Ronnie]

Yeah, to get a paycheck. He needs one. So the producers are asking Zach who he thinks needs to get their aggression at the most. And Zach's Jesse. And before you, like, you don't even need to say, like, Jesse, but also Jax, by the way, because he looks like he's about to burst. Or maybe he's, like, just, like, super sweaty. Like, just got off a tanning belt, but, like, he looks really like an angry chicken right now. Alanis, you can use those lyrics too, if you want. I don't know which song, but you can use them. So then everyone's doing. It's.

[Ben]

A bit.

[Ronnie]

You live. You become an angry chicken.

[Ben]

So now they split into teams and they play this stupid game. You know, who cares? So then Janet's like, not only do I hate everything about this entire field day and physical exercise, don't want to be on a team with Kristen and Luke. This is literally my nightmare, A come true.

[Ronnie]

And this is where she says, I literally hate field day. Instead of playing sports, growing up, I did magic lessons.

[Ben]

Well, could you do a presto changeo on that outfit? Because, good Lord, she's wearing, like, a pink. That pink satin thing with, like, two little baby bows on the shoulders. Just change. Why does Janet have to be horrible in every way?

[Ronnie]

I know. So this scene is also one of the first scenes that we're seeing of Britney and Jax being together since the divorce papers were served. So the producer asked Jack, asked Brittany if. If she heard from Jax at all since the paperwork, and she says, like, yeah, Jack's text to me, but it was like, I didn't expect it, but I understand why you did it. I think my plan is just to act like he doesn't exist. So then they do some racing. They do all the fun things, you know, relay races and eggs on the spoon. And it goes on for a little while. And Jesse, of course, goes out of his way to take off his shirt, which I think was more exciting for him than for us. So then Jess is like, I used to think. I think I used to be. I used to be competitive. Now I'm just competing to get out of bed in the morning without having to crack something. I'm just a fucking mess.

[Ben]

So then Janet and Brittany go talk, and Janet's like, I'm just, like, so tired because, like, every time the group gets together, it's like fireworks. Yeah. Because you start at literally every party. Stop acting exhausted by your own mess. And Britney's like, well, you know, I'm just like, so, so much sad. Or now that I'm cjx, you know, like, it sucks. And so then we go to Luke and Kristen talking, and Kristen is like, I was like, I'm angry at you, Josh. And he's like, yeah, you know, like, thanks for being so nice to me, you know, at the party. Like, I just wasn't expecting it, you know, because, like, it's so hard, you know, I'm going through, like, marriage and rehab and divorce and, like, separation. Like, rehab. Like, I'm angry. You know how that is. So, like, you know, I'm going through a lot right now, but, like, I appreciate it, Kristen.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, well, just try to mind your P's and Q's until after Hawaii. And that's gonna speak volumes. He's like, oh, yeah, P's and Q's. I love taking those. Really bring me up and then take me down.

[Ben]

It's just poppers and quaaludes, baby. Is it anal day? Is it anal day? So then we hear Nia and Jesse talking. And Nia's like, so how's it going, Jesse? And he's like, oh, I didn't even say hi to you. And she. And she goes, yeah, well, I didn't say hi to anybody on the purple team. Okay. Because we came late, so we're ready to rock and roll. But she's really not speaking to Janet. She doesn't want to be anywhere near Janet.

[Ronnie]

So Brittany asked Jan if she's spoken to Nia, and Janet's like, you know, I was really fired up, and I haven't been that mad, like, in so long. And honestly, it's just, like, built up because it's like Kristen blurted out this rumor about Jason because she was trying to defend Dan and Nia. So I just blame them almost for, like, all of them as a whole. For, like, throwing out suspicions that my husband's cheating on me when I know he's not, which is why I'm being so chill about this. And I guess when I saw her start to cry, I was like, oh, this is just like, I'm the one who has a hood that bangs me in the forehead every single time I go near my oven, okay? And Michelle's the one who's, like, actually going through a divorce. We're the real victims here.

[Ben]

Yeah. And so Jan is just really pissed. So then we get a scene of Luke going to Kyle Chan's place and his big. Because, you know, Kristen's following his ass. She's got the location on the phone, so he had to say he was going to Kyle Chan so that Kyle Chan could take care of their pet Gekko while they are in Maui. And he's like, okay, we gotta hurry this up, because Kristen's following me, and I can't be in here too long or she'll be suspicious.

[Ronnie]

I love that Kristen is timing the amount of time that the DOT is at Kyle Chan's office.

[Ben]

All right, so he also says, office right now. What would I be saying? Hey, Kyle, this is the Gecko. He gets a couple pellets a day. Do you know what cheesecake is? If you ever heard of cheesecake.

[Ronnie]

Does Christian really eat cheesecake?

[Ben]

And then Carl's gonna be like, yeah, duh. You know, he's gonna show him all the pictures we have of me eating cheesecake. Okay, that's five minutes. Okay, should be leaving now. Should be leaving. Why is he not heading to Cheesecake Factory? Why is he not heading.

[Ronnie]

He's cheating on me.

[Ben]

That's it. He's cheating on me.

[Ronnie]

I have a radical idea so that way you don't have to come up with, like, a whole, you know, elaborate Gecko babysitting cover story, which is, why don't you and Kyle Chan meet for coffee somewhere, and he can bring the ring to you. I don't know. Just thinking outside the box, you know, you have to go to his office.

[Ben]

Pick that shit on The Instagram, you.

[Ronnie]

Know, it's called a UPS store mailbox. Okay.

[Ben]

So.

[Ronnie]

But Luke is going through it because he's very. He's. He's nervous about the engagement, but his grandma also has cancer, and so he is really up and down, and he's not sure how the emotions are. Are going to affect him, which means that he is going to have a breakdown on this Hawaii trip very soon.

[Ben]

So then we go to Janet and Jason. Are. Is Janet excited about the trip? And she's like, well, like, yes and no. Because, like, I'm going on a trip with people that, like, half of them we're not even talking to, you know? And I know I owe Indian apology because I really went crazy at El Coyote, which is an iconic place from Vanderpump Rules, which, I mean, I wasn't really a fan of because I was, like, a friend of the group. But anyway, love that place. I got all the ways to staff's signatures on an enchilada, which I'm putting in a glass case. But anyway, point is, Nia's a gaslighter, so I still kind of hate her. What? Did Nia gaslight you? What are you talking about?

[Ronnie]

Yeah, I think she's. I think she's confusing gaslighting with. Well, she's assuming. She thinks that Nia covering for Danny is gaslighting, and that's. That's just Nia covering for Danny. That's just Nia not wanting to air out the fact that she's concerned that her husband has a drinking problem. So she's just saying, yeah, he's tired right now, taking a nap. So then Nia and Danny are at a sun spa because I guess it's time to get yet a new fake tan. And they're talking about, like, you know, anxiety about going on this trip. And then we see Zach and he's talking to Benji, and he's like, I think that, like, Kristen is, like, super not happy with Janet. And they're gonna wear shirts that we got, like, for Luke and Kristen's face saying, just engage. And she's gonna, like, wear it out. The engagement. So they're all nervous, but everyone's basically packing, getting ready to go on this trip. Yeah.

[Ben]

So now Luke and Kristen are home packing, and Kristen's like, I mean, what am I supposed to wear? Because, like, you know, like, what are you guys gonna do? What are we gonna do? Are we going fishing? You guys are going fishing? Like, do I have to. Do I have to wear things to fish? I'd catch A fish in my mouth. He's like, I know, honey. You showed. You showed my whole family in Montana. That's why they want me to marry you. I mean.

[Ronnie]

Okay, so I was talking to Tania, and she said that all the girls are just gonna. While we're fishing, the girls are gonna dress all cute as if they're about to get engaged. I mean, something like that. Great.

[Ben]

The girls just want to go have margaritas by the pool in wedding dresses.

[Ronnie]

So they say they're gonna put on full glam, as if someone's gonna pop out from the side of the boat and take photos of them as if it was a very important day in their lives. I don't know. Something like that. Yeah.

[Ben]

And he's like, but, you know, I know that things went bad with you guys. You and Janet, the other night. Oh, no. That bitch is done.

[Ronnie]

Done.

[Ben]

That bitch is, like, so done. I'm done with her. So Kristen's done with her, and she's not going to speak with her in Hawaii. And she doesn't even know why she wants to come on the trip. So then we go to Jack sitting in a restaurant by himself. He's like, hi, I was just left by my wife. So do you have a table for me? That'd be great. So I'm alone.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. And the waitress is like, what would you like to order? I would like a. I've got a lot of anger issues, but I've been working on it, and it's been really great. I've said some things in rehab that I thought was gonna take to the grave, and it was really liberating. I have to apologize to my wife. I treated her wrongly. But I'm a new guy now, and I would love your number if. Also, if you want a bang in the back, that'd be great, too. You have one of those.

[Ben]

So do you need something to drink? And he's like, oh, oh, oh, yeah. Coffee and Coke would be great. Pepsi. Okay. Can I store that? No, it's not fucking. Okay. Coffee and Coke. Thank you. Geez. Alex Baskin comes in. He's like, here, here. Here you go.

[Ronnie]

Just.

[Ben]

Just please stay. Don't go anywhere. Jax, we support you. We support you.

[Ronnie]

So Jax is sitting there waiting. He's alone in this restaurant, and he's getting flummoxed. And then Jax calls Brittany, and she's like, I'm not gonna come. And he's like, why not? And she's like, well, I woke up to a flood of DMS and stuff talking about you last Night and how drunk you were at the bar and how you were with these girls. You're hanging out with the girls and sluts and, like, I wasn't drunk at all. I was just coked up. Okay? I went home early. Yeah. All this stuff. Yes, you were. Okay. There's photos of you. Okay? People sending me DMS and everything.

[Ben]

I got dms.

[Ronnie]

I got DMS and everything.

[Ben]

I mad at you. And she's like, yeah, I've been trying to keep my space from Jackson since it's been out of the facility. And the only reason I agreed to meet with him is because we do have child together. We got a child together. So we got me. But not today, because I got DMS and everything.

[Ronnie]

Thing. You know what? I went to CVS because I had a cough, and I went to the Robitussin, and guess what? I saw some Robitussin dm and I was like, look, even they got the DMS about jx.

[Ben]

So she's mad because he was supposed to work on himself, and as soon as he gets out, he goes to the bar, and she's not putting up with that crap, so. And by the way, I think you are a vile, terrible, vile human being. And you've really put me in a terrible situation, especially in DMS and everything thing. Okay?

[Ronnie]

He's like, but we're getting a divorce. I mean, we're no longer together, so what I do on my own time is my own business. You should have remembered that before you installed cameras to spy on your wife, by the way, because I don't know. Exactly. Logic is going both ways.

[Ben]

You can put a ring cam in your house, but she's got the whole Internet on her side, sir, so good luck. Yeah. So she's like, well, have fun being drunk at your bar. 45 years old, still drunk, not even a chicken feet. And he just hangs up on her. He's like, well, that was that. So now he asked for his coffee to go, which is, like, the most depressing thing he's ever done, even though he doesn't walk back from an a.m. p.m. Five times a day with coffee. And he's like, yeah, it was really hard. Like, it was so embarrassing. So embarrassed. Being left alone in a restaurant. How could she do this to me when I have been to reaction lab and been separated and gone through divorce? I just had to throw someone's picture of them with their father away the other day. How could she do this to me?

[Ronnie]

Could I get a waitress here to stand in for Brittany? I'd like, to clear a list. So I may need to put my hand on a waitress's breast. Is there anyone who could do this for me? No. So then now it's time to go to Hawaii, because Jax is not going to Hawaii, by the way. I don't know if we mentioned that, but you. He's not going to go. So we're heading to Hawaii, and they have arrived. They're arriving at. In Maui at the. The Hyatt there. And Aaron's asking about pineapple. He's like, it's a. Pineapple is a safe word, right? And then, Zach, you know what? If you put a pineapple on your door on a cruise or in a hotel, it lets people know that you're ready to swing. And Janet's like, I mean, if I saw a pineapple just sitting on a door. I mean, I don't even know. Like, no, not a actual pineapple. Janet. Like, Janet thinking, like, you have to, like, go. Like you have to go get some fresh produce before you declare that you're a swinger. Yeah.

[Ben]

Like Janet doesn't know. Hello, wedding ring off. What's his bones just hears the word pineapple. Like, hides his wedding ring in his pants. So then, Lou. So basically they go to the get their rooms and Zach gets the presidential sweet. And he's like, oh, my God, Mr. Presidente. Am I right? Heck yeah. Make America gay again. Am I right? Party. You guys, I got the presidential suite, but it's like Kristen's Trapp. But, like, I don't want to give it to her now because then they'll be like, oh, my God, why are you giving it to us? Am I getting engaged? Engaged. Engaged. So maybe I'll do it later. That's like, so fun. Me and Benji are gonna go play in the shower.

[Ronnie]

Bye, Kristen. I'm so sorry that we're taking the presidential suite when you're about to get engaged. Oops, Did I say that part out loud? Seriously? Here's some cheesecake. You heard nothing?

[Ben]

Yeah. So Luke gets pissed. He's like, what is Zach even doing? Why didn't he give me the presidential suite right away? Luke's such a fucking baby. Oh, my God. So he's like, sulking about that. So everybody goes to their room. But then we find out that the presidential suite is not just Benji and Zach's, it's also Jesse's. So they have to share this 2 Pres. 2 room presidential suite with only one bathroom. Oh, my God.

[Ronnie]

I know. That was some. That was some good producer manipulation right there. That is a strange, strange choice by them, but I love it. So then Michelle is talking with Aaron. She there in the room, and she's like, do you want some champagne, my love? Rob's favorite vintage over here, Rab Reiner, that is. And Aaron's like, yeah, I feel like I can breathe now. It's like, oh, you can feel like you can relax, Relax. He's like, yeah. After seeing Jesse just being in the same room. Whoa.

[Ben]

His eyes are just popping out. He's like, oh, my God. Like, seeing Jesse there he was in the same room. Phew. Thank God I can breathe now. Oh, my God, that was terrifying. And she's like, I think it is good, you know, that you didn't even talk to each other. And goes, well, you know, he's gonna be in our lives. So, like, I don't know, like, maybe one day we could do like a family. Family trip or something. She's like, no, that's. I don't. I don't know about this.

[Ronnie]

You could do a family trip if you just all want to have a terrible time and, you know, traumatize your daughter. But I don't recommend it. So then we go over to Jason and Janet, and Jason is saying, you know, like, you know, me and Danny, like, my only thing is that that's making me awkward. Is that sort of style relationship. But, you know, after a squash will be good and, you know, it's gonna be up to the four of us, so. So if you want to make good with Nia, you should probably do that because this is really tense for me. So then they go to the pool and everyone's. Everyone jumping in the pool and excited. Brittany's like, yeah, party is here. Okay, tequila, 1 o' clock, 2 o' clock, 3 o' clock, tequila floor. Did I do that one right? I don't know.

[Ben]

So Jason and Danny are talking, and Jason, they're like, wow, we're men. So it's like, crazy how, like, men can just get along, right? Yeah, but, bro, but the chicks gotta get along too. Let's call him over here. Hey, Danny. I mean, hey, Nia. Hey, Janet, come on over here. Let's have a talk, sis. Chop it up, as they say. Come on, we can do it. So they come over and now we have to have couple versus couple talk. So Nia has shown up not giving a fuck today. She is not going to let this girl get away with anything in Nia's way, which I appreciated. So Danny's like, you know, Jason and I, we had lists we put our hands on each other's nuts, and those lists are cleared, and so are my nuts. So, ladies, you guys should talk. And Jenna's like, okay, well, I do want to apologize for getting so angry and Coyote Ugly. It's just like an icon of reality television being inside another icon of reality television. It was just like. It was combustible. I did it for the audience, so I'm really sorry, Mia. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

And Nia's like, oh, really? You got drunk that early in the night? And it's like, yeah, yeah, I just.

[Ben]

Had too much to drink. I just had a lot to drink. She goes, that early in the night.

[Ronnie]

Oh, it was a good. It was a good one from Nia. Nia's not known for, like, her zingers. And she got her. I mean, Janet, the whole. The crux of all this, where things really went sour between you guys, was you accusing Danny of having a drinking problem. And so. So the way you started your big apology of saying you got drunk, you gotta. You gotta come up with a better excuse than that. So Jan's like, yeah, I literally, those margaritas and shots, it just goes over Jan's head, by the way, what Nia's saying. She goes, yeah, literally, those margaritas and shots, they were so strong. And I should have never yelled at you. Did I enjoy it? Yes, but I should never have done it. And you know what? I deserve every bit of that. Fuck you. I'm sorry that I said it. It's okay. It was totally deserved. I made a great TV moment.

[Ben]

It was deserved. She said, yeah. So Danny's like, well, I want to apologize to you too, because it bridge opening, you know, we had some cocktails, and I never should have brought up what I was trying to bring up in that environment. I just. I hate that that happened. And she's like, well, I can totally forgive you, because, like, I'm human and I know what I did was not right. So let's just all be forgiving. I'm changing. Janet a good person now. I'm a good person today.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So basically, they have an uneasy truce. Like, it's funny. Everyone's, like, smiling. Nia is. Still has a rageful look on her face, but they're all just gonna sort of, like, move forward slowly, and he is just gonna be just very tentative and careful with Janet. So then the producer only likes to.

[Ben]

Fight when the whole cast is there. She needs an audience to do it. So for now, when everybody's private, she's always very sorry. She's kind of Lala in that way. Like when you get Lala one on one on these shows, she's always like, oh my God, you're right. I'm so sorry. And then when it gets public, that's when it comes out, you know?

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So then meanwhile, the producer's asking Jesse how he feels about Aaron being on the trip. And he's like, you know, I've had some issues with Aaron. He starts dating my still wife with four year old daughter. And I expect a man to call me up and say, listen, I'm spending a lot of time with your daughter. Or do you have any boundaries? It would never happen. I don't think that is a standard practice when people are separated. That the new person calls up the accent is like, how do you. What are the boundaries I should have with your daughter? I don't think that's normal. And I don't think anyone would want to call Jesse because he's a monster. So no, that's not going to work that way. Because by the way, did Jesse put that obligation on the girl from Orange county to call up Michelle? Because I don't think, I don't think he did.

[Ben]

Well, she did call her and threatened her with lawsuits, I think.

[Ronnie]

Oh, so that was nice. Yeah, yeah.

[Ben]

She's trying to communicate. So then we go back to Benji and Zach floating in the pool and Benji is eating a pineapple out of a pineapple. And Zach's like, oh my God, you're eating pineapple out of a pineapple. That is like so incestuous.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. And then Luke and Kristen. Luke is like, he's nervous. He's nervous because the engagements could be tomorrow. And he's like, he's looking for his wallet and he's like, oh my God, I can't find. I'm not good, man. I'm not going. Same reason, same reason about grandma. And he's saying how his emotions are all over the place but he can't tell Kristen why that he's really nervous. So he just sort of like, sort of goes off in a tizzy and.

[Ben]

She'S kind of being a dick. Instead he's like, I can't talk about this to Kristen. Stop talking to me. Kristen. She's like, but what's wrong? Don't you want to talk about it? He's like, no, don't talk about it with me. Do you want to go on private? It's like, no, we'll talk about it. Do I do something? No, just leave me alone, Kristen. So now she's like, oh, my God, we're breaking up.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So then now everyone is getting ready for dinner. They're gonna have a big dinner. And leading up to this dinner, I'd like to add that the trailer from last week was, like, Jesse sitting down with Aaron and being like, were you having sex with my wife when we were still together? And then, like, 15 minutes into the show coming up, Were you having sex with my wife? Wife while we were still together? And then, like, 10 minutes left in the show coming up. Were you having sex with my wife while we were still together? So we're like, okay, here comes the big confrontations. They all get ready for dinner. They're all getting ready. They show up, and Jesse's sitting there, and he's, like, looking at Aaron and he's fuming. And we see a montage of Aaron being around and, like, Aaron having comments about how Isabella should be raised, and Aaron saying this and. And Aaron saying that, and Jesse's getting mad. And then it goes two hours later. Did you or did you not cross a line when I was married to Michelle? Emotional, physical, in any way? Did you cross a line? And once again, we see Aaron's eyes bug out. And then it's to be continued. I'm like, you can't. You tease this moment, like, five different times, and then the moment actually arrives, and it's just a teaser for next week. So you tease the teaser. I was so mad.

[Ben]

Yeah, well, that's how it goes. They don't have much, you know, so they got to keep it. They got to keep it going, especially with Janet and Nia just deciding, okay, we're not going to fight anymore. It's like, okay. And Jax isn't here for. To. For everybody to accuse of stuff. So I guess they got to make it last. Is next week the finale? Did they say next week's the season finale?

[Ronnie]

No, they didn't. I think we're gonna have a few episodes worth. I think we'll. The. They. We didn't even get to see what next week is. I don't know if next week is the actual engagement or. We still have to see the scene of Luke in the bed being like, what about me? That they've been showing on the trailers for the past, like, you know, 10 months. So we have to have Luke having his. His breakdown. We have to have the engagement. We have to have Britney having a fight on the boat when she has a sailor cap on. There's, like, a lot of ground that we have to cover on this trip.

We acting bad, bad, bad, bad. We ain't trying to hurt nobody. For decades, he was untouchable. I've gone from Harlem to Hollywood. But now it's all coming undone. Sean Combs, the mogul as we know it is over. He will never be that person again, even if he's found not guilty of these charges. I'm Jesse Weber, host of Law and Crimes, the Rise and Fall of Diddy, the federal trial, a front row seat to the biggest trial in entertainment history. Sex trafficking, racketeering, prostitution, allegations by federal prosecutors that span decades and witnesses who are finally speaking out. The spotlight is harsher, the stakes are higher. And for Diddy, there may be no such second chances. You can listen to the Rise and Fall of Diddy, the federal trial exclusively with Wondery.
