Set in Toronto's wealthy cottage country, AKA the Hamptons of Canada, Rich Girl Summer follows the story of Valerie, a down on her luck event planner posing as a socialite's long lost daughter while piecing together the secrets surrounding a mysterious family and falling deeper and deeper in love with the impossibly hard to read and infuriatingly handsome family assistant, Nico.

Caught between pretending to belong and unexpectedly finding where she truly fits in, Valerie learns her summer is about to get far more complicated than she ever planned. She's in over her head and head over heels.
Ronnie Carroll
Fake heiress, real secrets.

Ronnie Carroll
I'm actually so great because you know what, this is a very special podcast episode because I am announcing our new album, the Life of a Podcaster and it's going to be on sale in a few days and I hope everyone buys it. We're just so excited about it.
Ben Mandelker
So lap of a pod girl. Can't wait to hear all the rhymes with bar and car.
Ronnie Carroll
Anyway, we are here today to talk about Below Deck, a scandalous episode. Before we dive into that, you know we have Patreon and you may not have heard we have Patreon. We do weekly bonus episodes. Last week we did sort of like a pop culture check in on like Project Runway and things like that. And then we'll have another bonus episode this week.

Every episode we do has Crap is on Demand and then a week after the Crap is on Demand goes on Patreon, it will then go over to YouTube. So go to Patreon to get first access on those videos and our Bonus episodes, Discord, all the good stuff. And also thanks to everyone who came and joined us with Crappy Hour last night. It was a really fun one. We do that every other Monday, and for the next few weeks, we're going to alternate that with us going on Amazon Live. So this week was Crappy Hour. Next week we'll go on Amazon live at 4pm and we will recommend. We don't know what we'll be recommending this coming week, but we have a huge amount of fun doing that. So if you ever want to know the things, the trinkets and items that we love, come join us over there. So without further ado, let's get into the big Did Kyle have sex with a guest episode? That. That's been hyped all season long. It's finally arrived. It has arrived. Some may say it has come.
Ben Mandelker
First of all, I know we're in 2025, and a big no no in these modern times is no sex shaming. So I would like to start by saying no, I will not subscribe to that today because my main note on this episode is. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. What the fuck, bro? Ew. Ew to all of you. All three of you. You're all gross. You're all fucking gross. Okay, now, that said, if I had sex in the bathroom, of course, was I bent over with my head under a urinal? Not really. I mean, come on. Can we have classier sex in bathrooms? Do you need a homosexual to come teach you how to do this? I mean, geez, you know, I was.
Ronnie Carroll
Proud of that girl. I loved it. She knew exactly what she wanted, she got it, and then she moved on with her life. Now I just. I just feel like they could have chosen a better location. There was like, literally anywhere else that they could have gone to.
Ben Mandelker
Why don't they on the beach? They were right there. She was traveling about the beach. It's not like he needs all that long for. Well, maybe he did. He was pretty drunk.
Ronnie Carroll
But maybe there was a pesky crustacean in the way. But I have to say, also, in addition to this, that's our band. So excited. Pesky Crustacean.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah.
Ronnie Carroll
That's what Taylor Swift almost called her album. She changed it the last second.
Ben Mandelker
That was Travis's idea when she was like, what should I call this album? He's like, crusty Crustacean.
Ronnie Carroll
She's like, no, I. So one thing with this episode that really I got excited and then I was very sad. We made it like, 25. We made it, like, over halfway through this episode, maybe beyond halfway, before the Instagram walls kicked in. And I, for. I swear to God, I was like, I think they're finally listening to the audience. They realize the Instagram walls are the most annoying, stupid thing that they ever added to this show. And I was like, they finally cut them. They're not doing them anymore. And then all of a sudden, it was like, they forgot that they had to do Instagram walls. And there was, like, five in a row, and I was so mad.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, I mean, look, I think it's just part of life. Like, Instagram walls are the most annoying part of everybody's life. Like, honestly, they're the most annoying part of every person I know. Like, you meet somebody, they seem fine. You like them. They're like, follow me on socials. You go to their social and you're like, ew. Like, you're gross. Like, I think that we should all stop using Instagram so much. Also, can I ask a personal favor from shirt manufacturers? Look at this shirt I'm wearing. Ben wearing this shirt. Is this necessary? There's three things sewed on here. They're like ribbons from a state fair, and they're sewn on so tightly, I cannot pull them off. Do you know how many shirts I have with big holes on the side with my muffin top hanging out because of these stupid things that I rip off? They're making me crazy. Stop it.
Ronnie Carroll
Do you have scissors that don't work.
Ben Mandelker
Because you still feel the things making cuts on you? You know, you need a seam ripper, and then you need to sew the back up there. So stupid shirt manufacturer.
Ronnie Carroll
Stupid.
Ben Mandelker
I'm sorry, People in bathrooms. Okay. But yes, the Instagram wall. I will say about the Instagram walls. Barbara's, at least, is normal.
Ronnie Carroll
Yeah. Although hers is. I mean, hers is normal. She has one, like, where she's, like, at Carnival, which is, like, a little more. A little more extra. It's not the walls. It's not the images themselves. It's just that we stop the entire show, and we stop it usually for no reason. It's like we stop it just to hear a generic thought about something. It's like, let's stop all the action, the entire flow. So Barbara can say, it's not nice doing this to people. It's not nice. I'm like, oh, I'm glad we stopped everything for that.
Ben Mandelker
Well, I literally just stopped the show to talk about shirt tags, so I guess I'm not judged at the moment.
Ronnie Carroll
You had an observation. It's fine. I will not adjudicate this any further.
Ben Mandelker
Okay, so let's get started. Below Deck Season 12 Episode 11 Aruma Mill so stupid title. So Carrie kicked Kelly off the boat. That was a couple weeks ago. But it's still fun to watch clips of because they open it with clips of Kelly, you, Captain, you. I ain't drunk nothing on me. I'm calling the FBI, motherfuckers.
Ronnie Carroll
Have we heard from Kelly, by the way, since this all happened? Has she made any statements? Has she gone on any podcasts or done any interviews? I would love to know this because she's been curiously silent about this all. I would have thought she would have come out with her side of the story.
Ben Mandelker
I heard that she's. Someone left a comment I think yesterday on the Crappy Hour saying that she's posting like a proud peacock all over the place. She follows you. Can't you just go to her Instagram?
Ronnie Carroll
I know I don't want to, but like, I do know that she follows me, which is so funny. Like, I really don't understand. She doesn't follow you or watch what happens. Somehow I was the one, the lucky one.
Ben Mandelker
She's the page to sort of.
Ronnie Carroll
I'm always happy for any follower. So, Kelly, thank you. Thank you for joining the Ben Army.
Ben Mandelker
The Army Delker. What would you call it? The Benarmy. I like Ben Army.
Ronnie Carroll
Yeah, I don't want to call it army because I'm a nonviolent person. Ben Brigade. Spelled with B, R, I, G, A Y D E Brigade.
Ben Mandelker
A Ben friend. A Ben friend.
Ronnie Carroll
A Ben friend. Friend of Ben. The gentle Bens just make it softer and sadder. Sweet children. Sweet children.
Ben Mandelker
Ben Woosies. It's not even cute anymore.
Ronnie Carroll
Just the kids who don't like recess.
Ben Mandelker
The beat up Bens.
Ronnie Carroll
The kids who like to draw.
Ben Mandelker
Nap time bends. So Anthony is doing an eight course meal and he's like this. This is the moment that I'm working for. And you know, my old career. Sometimes people beat me up when I'm a little boy. But this is time I prove I'm not boy to beat up. I'm boy to cook. Eight course meal. I was like, oh, for Christ's sake. Have you ever. Are you new here.
Ronnie Carroll
Anthony? It's like Anthony's on a different show. I believe he briefly intersected with Below Deck when he had a scene with Fraser on their off day. But he meanwhile, is just off doing his own thing. He's like giving confessionals about storylines. We're not Paying attention to or care about. He's like, this is for my father. You know, I miss him so much. He taught me how to turn butter. But, like, no one's paying attention. No one's talking about it. No one's talking to him. Like, I'm like, is he on this show? Has he just been slight spliced in?
Ben Mandelker
He's like a Top Chef contestant that's always on the bottom. And every week, you have to hear him go, you know, I did not believe in myself earlier, but now I believe in myself, and I'm hoping I get another chance to, you know, the thing that I believe in, like, every single week, that's the same thing. Bringing in a sob story about. It's like, I'll save the dyslexia for this week. I'll add a sob story about bullying this week. Like, you're running out of sob stories, Anthony. Okay, next time, you're out.
Ronnie Carroll
I'm finally getting my confidence. And then he finally gets eliminated, and he's like, well, I'm just happy because now I show my children, you can do whatever you want to do in life. Which is so funny because it's always the people who get eliminated who say that. I'm like, you literally just got eliminated. Someone said, you can't do this anymore.
Ben Mandelker
I know. They're like, I just inspired my children to lose. What are you teaching your children?
Ronnie Carroll
I inspired my children to have stage frights and to choke under pressure.
Ben Mandelker
My children are walking around now, and they are saying, mini quiche. Mini quiche. When he came out with the mini quiche, I died. Okay?
Ronnie Carroll
So it is.
Ben Mandelker
It's just so many, you know, like, eight courses. Remember when he was like, eight course meal. Here's piece of asparagus. Was that him or was that the last chef? I forget. They brought out, like, one piece of asparagus on a plate with some beet sauce. Like, your next course.
Ronnie Carroll
Asparagus. Yes. Second. All is better, I guess.
Ben Mandelker
And we were like, that's a side. That is a side. Okay, so he's all excited about that. So final night of charter, and Carrie is joining them for dinner, and Solene and Barbara are working on cabins. And there is a bag in the bath. There's a purse in the bath. Reminding us of the story of last week when she's like, you know what my daughter did to my bag? She dropped it in the purse. She dropped my purse in the toilet. And I said, when I died, this is what you're inheriting the piss.
Ronnie Carroll
Coming bag. That lady Sounds exactly like one of Zachariah Porter's impersonations. You know Zachariah Porter, he always does, like, the East Coast. He always puts on, like, a little wig and he's always doing like. Like. Like moms from Long Island. Oh, yeah. It's always, like, so over the. He's so funny, but it's always so over the top. You're like, oh. It's, like, funny because it's cartoony, but I'm like, oh, maybe it's not cartoony. This woman has the exact accent. She's like, you'll get it when I die. I'm like, oh, my God, they all sound like that.
Ben Mandelker
And one of the one that looks like this is my favorite one. Look. Yeah, Nobody. I'm Italian. Nobody fucking says. Nobody calls the cops.
Ronnie Carroll
It's called sauce. It's called sauce.
Ben Mandelker
What kind of Italian are you? A source. I'm having the old sauce.
Ronnie Carroll
My daughter, she knocked my Louis Vuitton into the sauce. I said, you know what? When I die, you get the sauce bag.
Ben Mandelker
That's it.
Ronnie Carroll
That's all you get.
Ben Mandelker
So Celine is mortified by the purse because it's just sitting in the bathtub. I was like, why? She put the bag in the bath? Look like my dog. Poor dog. So now Fraser is readying, everybody. It's time for bread service, my favorite kind of service. If they had just bread service, I would go to church every week.
Ronnie Carroll
What if bread service is more like you bring them, like, the bread to meine Key and they put up on the hydraulic lift and they, like, put, like, more carbs into it and then they, like, send it on.
Ben Mandelker
It's like, more. Fuck yeah. Remember, for a while there was this bread that was, like, low carb and it was really good, actually. We were advertising for it on Watch. What crap. And they sent us a ton of it, and it was really good. And they're like, oh, my God, it's like real bread. And at some point I was like, I need to inject this with just more gluten and carbs and whatever else is in bread that makes it just so sinful. I just need more bread. You know how they have those things where they show, like, this is how much sugar an average human eats a year. And then they put, like, a teaspoon a day, and then it piles up to a big hill that you can't even climb. And they're like, this is what people ingest. If they did that with the amount of bread I eat in a year. I mean, bagels alone, Would fill a room.
Ronnie Carroll
Oh, you know me. You know me. I'm counting down, down the days to bagel Thursday. We are 48 hours.
Ben Mandelker
I bagel every day. I remember telling you one day, why do you have bagel Thursdays when you have bagel every day? And that's what I have now. And it's so special.
Ronnie Carroll
Listen, I'm. I would love a bagel. Well, today I had a breakfast burrito. My. My breakfast rituals are that at the start of the recording week, I go to Phil's co Coffee, my favorite. And, well, that and blue bottle. And I get a breakfast burrito there. And then I do like. Then I'll. Today is a Tuesday because we don't. There's no shows on for Monday, so my Phil's has been delayed till Tuesday. And then in between the Phil's day and in between bagel Thursday, I usually make a smoothie and then I have cereal and then Friday, who knows? It's a wild card day.
Ben Mandelker
I like that you have all these scheduled out.
Ronnie Carroll
That's cute. It actually makes the mornings really fun if you're like, oh good, today's smoothie day. Alth, it's like, it's pretty lax. Like sometimes smoothie day is. Sometimes it's Wednesday, sometimes it's Tuesday. And yeah, it's. I don't do much, so this is exciting for me.
Ben Mandelker
What's your thing of the day that you do? I love that I got out of bed soon. I love that that was on my to do list. I was like, get up. So I did that. So now it's time. And Celine is gossiping with Barbara and she's like, oh, just told me today I'm not going to speak to you on charter. She do that because she's scared if I'm too distracted, I'm going to get fired. I'm like, you're not my mom. You know, you're not my mom. And if you were my mom, maybe I would date you maybe so much I like that.
Ronnie Carroll
Oh, God. So Jess is like this whole situation between me and Barbara and me and so. So I don't know. I think I was carrying more about my feelings than other people's. And I don't think it's right. Relationships have never affected my work. So you think you can escape it and it's. I don't care, Jess. I don't care. I don't care anymore. Okay? You were being a fuck boy. You're being a fuck girl. You messed up. Move on. Because you're not revealing anything Exciting about the human condition at this point. Just shut the fuck up and scrub the floor.
Ben Mandelker
She is so charming, but she's like, so charming of a person that I crack up whenever she does these confessionals because I actually, like, start feeling bad for her. The way she's talking. Oh, I made my own bad decision. And now I've heard someone. And I shouldn't do that because blah, blah, blah, like, oh, my God, she's so sweet. And then I remember, no, she's not sweet. Why are you crying over your own ish. Ness? I love it. It's like I'm such a person because I'm realizing how selfish I was. You would make out with that girl in two seconds if you have the chance. Now stop it.
Ronnie Carroll
Yeah, yeah. This is all second. I mean, I do appreciate, like, she's sort of trying to be introspective as opposed to many of the other, you know, boys we've seen on Bravo for years and years. But, like, I'm over it. Like, the introspection is not that interesting or deep. So just, like, you know, just, just, just do something else. Like, literally talk about anything else. Please tell us about the bagels you're eating. I just don't want to hear.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, about this year. Fill a room. Yeah, Jess, what do you do on Thursdays? What's your thing? You know, when do you eat your fruity Pebbles?
Ronnie Carroll
I realized when I was eating the English muffin, I wasn't thinking about the bagel in that moment. Like, oh, Jess, come on.
Ben Mandelker
I did feel like that because there's some old tortillas in the back of my cabinet and they're, like, all moldy and I had to throw them away. And I was like, you guys were so ignored. I'm so sorry.
Ronnie Carroll
Yeah.
Ben Mandelker

And Helen's like, you actually helped her from ruining my guest time. I want to thank you again from a true mafia princess. I want to thank you again. You, me, like family. Let's go for a drive. It's like, oh, no. Fallen for that one. No, fallen for that.
Ronnie Carroll
My gratitude will be reflected in our tip. So then Anthony's like, hello, everyone. Welcome to the tasting. Here we have mushroom velote. Just like, my daddy liked it. Like, oh, great. It's like. And now here comes deconstructed tomato capresi, which, by the way, I think is. I mean, of all the things that can be deconstructed, a tomato caprese is pretty simple. And that, I guess that works. But also, why does it need to be deconstructed? Like, why?
Ben Mandelker
Tomatoes are crazy. It's already deconstructed, constructed. It's tomatoes and capri and mozzarella. There's nothing. There's nothing to deconstruct, sir.
Ronnie Carroll
It's a deconstructed sauce, basically. Sauce. So then Fraser tells Anthony that everything has been very good. I know. It's a deconstructed granola. And Anthony's working on his quiche. So he serves his mini quiche straight out of 1991. And Helen's like, this is outstanding. And then Jennifer, who's our favorite, goes, you know what? I'm gonna cook for you, Helen? I'm gonna cook for you a typical Sunday sauce when you come over. And Frank is like, it's called Sunday gravy. There's no gravy. Gravy.
Ben Mandelker
It's gravy.
Ronnie Carroll
It's gravy.
Ben Mandelker
It's gravy. That's what it is. It's gravy.
Ronnie Carroll
Well, gravy is brown. What kind of Italian are you?
Ben Mandelker
The kind married to a woman who serves me brown gravy. That's a kind. Cause it's awesome.
Ronnie Carroll
You know what? He doesn't understand the difference between sauce and grave. But guess what? I love him. I love him anyway.
Ben Mandelker
I love him. I'll never let him go. I'll never let him go. For the next course, we have Chilean sea bass on bed of spinach puree with some mango on. On top and risotto and aspawagu. And Helen's like, whoa. You know, he's trying to keep it a tight ship over here. And for this course, we have a ribeye with milk, potato, roasted carrot. Swell. I said, thank you. Maybe I'll do it. By the way, next course, trauma. My father. My father's. I miss him so. I miss him so much. Turning. But.
Ronnie Carroll
I don't know if, while we're on this discussion of sauce, I don't know if many people know this, but the original name for Chilean sea bass is Patagonian toothfish. I learned that somewhere along the way. Okay, continue.
Ben Mandelker
That's why I'll always follow. Ben Mandelker teaches me such good things. Everyone on this. Everyone on this chart is following him, right? Ben Mandelke, please follow his substack delicious recipes. Absolutely. And guess what? He's got a recipe for Sauce. Frank. Sauce, not gravy. Right.
Ronnie Carroll
Sauce.
Ben Mandelker
And Richard's like, this right here is what you would find at a Michelin star restaurant. You know what you wouldn't find, Richard? Your highlights. Okay.
Ronnie Carroll
These people would go to a Michelin star restaurant and expect to get tires. What it's in the name. It literally is.
Ben Mandelker
That's where it came from.
Ronnie Carroll
I know. Well, anywho.
Ben Mandelker
A Michelin star. It came from tires. Why was that again? Because Michelin stars, where you could get your. What was it? I forget.
Ronnie Carroll
It was because when people were like learning how to drive. Well, you know, when cars were new, when cars were like a thing. Michelin, who does the tires, would release these guides for people when they're driving along to be like, hey, now that there's this thing called roads, there's roadside attractions and there's also restaurants. And if you're gonna do. If you're gonna be driving along on what used to be a brown piece of dirt pile road, now there's a restaurant there. So which ones you. Which one should you go to? We're gonna tell you. Basically, they were like, let's take advantage of our new roadside culture. And here's a guide. Yeah.
Ben Mandelker
Wow. Yeah. So, yeah, they need to change it. So Hugo is checking on Celine and she's very stressed. You know who's not stressed, Hugo. And he's stressing me out though, because he's kind of boring. So Richard is talking, you know, it's just, you know, the guest being hilar. Richard's like, you look like a naughty school teacher. And Jennifer's like, I do. Here's some pearls to shove up your ass.
Ronnie Carroll
She was. That was a very aggressive. Yes. And on her part, everyone, for the next cause I like to call love, passion and champagne up your ass. It's basically like a chocolate covered strawberry and like some cheese. And it was kind of. It was kind of giving like American airlines, you know, like comfort plus meal. Yeah, it was. And so is that title.
Ben Mandelker
Love, passion, champagne.
Ronnie Carroll
It was not like the height of Michelin gourmet desserts.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. So then Jess is like, well, Richard doesn't speak very much.
Ronnie Carroll
Eh?
Ben Mandelker
And Dan was like, he sure didn't speak much when still he had his hands all over Helen Ho. Helen Ho's Ho Hahas Helen's Helen Ho's Hahas Ho Ho. Her name is Helen Hoey. Helen. Girl, that's so on the nose.
Ronnie Carroll
I went to school. I had a. I had a very good friend named Andy Hoey. And he wasn't very Hoey, though. It's actually delightful. Well, I mean, not that you can be hoey and delightful, but he was saying he wasn't very Hoey, period. Also. He was delightful.
Ben Mandelker
Ronnie, Benji. We should just come up with just like the most.
Ronnie Carroll
Benny, Hunchbacky.
Ben Mandelker
Ronnie, Bette Midler, posture Y. We just need to come up with the most obvious descriptive names. Oh, my God. I think my package is here. I'm sorry. So excited.
Ronnie Carroll
Oh, do you need to get it?
Ben Mandelker
No, I don't need to get it. I can see it outside. I can see the guy trying to figure out if he's going to bring it up all the stairs or if he's going to be lazy and just leave it in the driveway. He's choosing the lazy.
Ronnie Carroll
We can just wrap up this recap real quickly. Okay. Kyle br. Kyle had sex in the bathroom. Kyle bragged about having sex with Helen, then took it all back to save his job. And then he saved his job, but we all know he still fucked her. Okay, thanks everyone for being here and watch what happens. Ronnie has a package pickup. We'll see you in the next episode. Bye.
Ben Mandelker
He chose the lazy way and then his cart fell over and now he's still staring at the package, trying to decide if he wants to brave the stairs. Are you going to do it? Does God love you? God Is going to love you more if you bring it up the stairs, sir. He still thinks. Now he's looking at his phone. I think he can probably hear me too. He's probably like, you motherfucker, do it. Do it. Oh, no, he's leaving. He's like, fuck this. I'm going to paid enough for this. You know what? I don't blame you, sir. I don't blame you. And thank you for bringing it all the way up the hill, you adorable person. He hates me. Okay, so Anthony is like, okay, now for next call. Finally we have chocolate coconut milk ganache. You get two desserts. That's a lot of.
Ronnie Carroll
I mean.
Ben Mandelker
And.
Ronnie Carroll
Yeah, right.
Ben Mandelker
He just served with cheese and chocolate. And now coconut. Chocolate. Coconut milk ganache.
Ronnie Carroll
Yeah, you know, whatever. Yeah, that's nice. It's nice. I do love a cheese course, I'm not gonna lie. Which is. This is not what it is. But I'm saying the last one was sort of one. Well, you just to see captain's face with his big smile. I'm feeling very happy. You know when your entire childhood, you have people telling you you're going to be a loser your entire life, then you dip a strawberry in chocolate and you realize you are not a loser. You are creator.
Ben Mandelker
You make the most basic of basic shit. And now you're fucking badass Chef. So Helen is like, this was a panty dropping dinner. Speaking of panties, this is for you, captain. All right? And these are real pearls. These are real pearls on these panties. So she puts a thong over his head.
Ronnie Carroll
She's like, by the way, I don't know if anyone knows this, but Kyle has been sitting under me this entire dinner. These panties are off. That's what the panties are here.
Ben Mandelker
The heirloom panties. What is that? Were they grown a long time ago? Heirloom panty? Were they your grandmothers? Get that shit off me. I don't want something on my head called heirloom panties. Can I have some new panties? I want some nouveau panties. How about that?
Ronnie Carroll
Well, don't. Don't forget that these people run a lingerie business. And since they apparently are very Italian, I would not be surprised if like the name of this skew, this panty skew is heirloom. Like they've named each different. Like panty after a different tomato. These are Roma panties. These are beef steak panties.
Ben Mandelker
These are sauce panties. Those are gravy panties. God damn it, Frank. So the carrot Carrie is just like, well, it's the least I can do. They've had A terrible shot. I can at least put some pennies on my head. So he goes down to the galley and compliments Anthony and he's like, good job, Anthony. He goes, oh, my God, I wish my dad could be here to hear this. I wish he could be here, dad. He told me, good job. Somewhere up there my dad is saying, your bathor is too soft, you fat, dyslexic loser. Let me see.
Ronnie Carroll
Well, let me inte. Let me tell you one thing. Baben Guru Dior. Yeah, Just proud in Turkish.
Ben Mandelker
So Anthony is touched. So now they're setting up a party for the guys because it's pajama party time. Guess who nobody wants to see. Guess what? Nobody wants to see any of these people in pajamas. Nobody. No lingerie for you. Okay, here's what I want your company to move over into robes. Moo moose. Have a moomoo party, okay?
Ronnie Carroll
Oh, you know, it'd be a great party for this group. Go into your rooms and go to sleep party. I think that would be great. That's a great idea for them.
Ben Mandelker
How about cotillion party? How about.
Ronnie Carroll
How about go home party?
Ben Mandelker
How about let's party manners?
Ronnie Carroll
How about a sauce party? So they have a pajama party sauce Frank sauce. So they have a pajama party where they wind up doing a pillow fight and feathers come out everywhere. I don't know. I think you can have a pajama party without a pillow fight. And if you're having a pillow fight, I think you can have a pillow fight without the feathers coming out everywhere. I didn't see this as a necessary component to the experience. And I just was angry because it looked like hell to clean up.
Ben Mandelker
But it was fun because it was rainbow doing it. And I really thought this was leading into a rainbow breakdown because they were playing the rainbow breakdown music, which is like, oh, my sister, my sister. Island coming up. Island coming up. Oh, my God, don't make me get off the boat. But it wasn't. She was just like, you work and then you die. You work until you die. That's all I do is work until I die. And Fraser's like, oh, I don't even know where to begin. So I'm gonna begin by leaving you and not helping you with this. I'm sure. Don't worry about it. I've got it. Don't even stress. I'm on it. Me. Me who does everything.
Ronnie Carroll
Yeah. And I thought this was totally setting her up to have like a panic attack where she'd be like, hey, Silane, could you just help me with, like, cleaning up one little corner? And Selene would be like, no. And I thought it'd be a whole thing, but it's just her and Damo cleaning up. I mean, Selene does a little. She helps a little bit. Selene does some vacuuming. Mainly the feather that winds up in her boobs.
Ben Mandelker
That's pretty much all she does. Vacuum her boobs? Yes, she does vacuum her boobs. And Rainbow goes, we work until we die. And Slayn goes. Not me. And goes to bed.
Ronnie Carroll
So it's the next day, final day of charter, and Kyle, is, you ready to go out tonight? You're ready for my drink for my birthday tomorrow. So Barbara's like, I know. How's everything with Elaine? She's like, oh. He's like, oh, I don't want anything to do there. You can't be saying, oh, I like Jess. And then 20 minutes later, flashback to her making out with Demo. Right? Am I right? I'm actually going to. I'm actually going to prompt the flashback to the producers. I don't like that at all. It's like a little bit of an ick for me.
Ben Mandelker
Oh, that's an ick for you. Oh, wow.
Ronnie Carroll
And he's the walking ick.
Ben Mandelker
You are the ickiest person. And you. You know what? At least she chooses people kind of hot. You know, like when you're making out with someone and you're like, oh, wow, that person made out with me. They're so hot. And then you see them make out with all these ugly people and you're like, oh, they're just. I'm nothing special. They're just really slutty today. That's how I feel with Kyle. It's like, at least she gets, like, cuter people. So you don't feel bad about it, if that makes any sense. You know, you don't feel devalued by her choices. Kyle.
Ronnie Carroll
I know. Kyle. Kyle. Talking about up an ick when he's literally like a walking used Swiffer pad. So Barbara's like, but I know something. She's not the bad person. Like, I think that she does. Don't know about consequence. Like, we cannot just go into people's lives and just everything up because we don't care. Like, and just know it's not nice. It's not nice. That's like Barbara's tagline. Anything. She's anything is on, like, a scale of nice to not nice with her. That's nice. That's not nice. It's not nice. It's not nice.
Ben Mandelker
I like it. I'm like, I'm into a very black and white way to look at the world. Nice. Not nice. You know you suck. You don't suck. That's.
Ronnie Carroll
Guys.
Ben Mandelker
So time to get the anchor up. Let's get the anchor up. Oh, my God. Anchor. Anchor. Anchor. Anchor. I just want to say I apologize to the Inca because my decisions might have. Just get the anchor off. God damn it.
Ronnie Carroll
I start to realize that I was thinking about my thoughts instead of the anchor. Thoughts, anchor. Who cares? Jess?
Ben Mandelker
He was like, bridge is open, we're going in. Knocking on the door, leaving some pamphlets. That's for you, Mom. Okay, port side maintaining 40 meters. Looking good. 40 meters, 35 meters. We're doing it. We're doing it. God damn it, we did it.
Ronnie Carroll
So they dock and then the guests all leave and say goodbye. And Helen's like, and by the way, thanks again to Kyle for letting me use him as a flotation device.
Ben Mandelker
I love the other way around.
Ronnie Carroll
Yeah, I know, right? So she thanks him and kisses him on the cheek. But she kisses also like Fraser on the cheek. And she's like, oh, my God, my. My boots. I forgot my boots. So then they all carries like. All right, everyone, thanks for working on. Let's get into our off charter uniforms. All right, everyone, Adventure uniforms. So they change.
Ben Mandelker
Yes. And Rainbow is checking in with Jess about her crush on Barbara. She's like, oh, she hates me. My own decisions have stymied me again. Instead of just apologizing, should I be like, would you like to go on a date with me? I'm better with my face than I am with my words. And so, you know, Jess gives another monologue about blah, blah, blah. You know, she's upset with Sylain, which of course she is. Which is why she's gonna give Barbara attention now. So she feels like she's just a game to Solene and Barbara's just a game to her, but she's gonna play Barbara for a while instead of Selene.
Ronnie Carroll
Jess, you do realize that you. The whole reason why Barbara's in this mess is because you were playing a game with Sylain. Right? Like I. Like, she's like, oh, Selene, just a game player. No, I. I'm not. I'm not going to fall for her games anymore. You were the one who played the game. You were the one who actively kissed Barbara to make Selene jealous and bring Celine back to you from the fold into the fold.
Ben Mandelker
And actually, you're kind of being worse than Celine, because you actually banged Selene and now you're ignor. I mean, that's like a typical move. Like, you wait to finally get, get it in there and then, then you dump her. That's. You know, you're actually becoming worse than her at this point, ma'. Am.
Ronnie Carroll
Yeah, exactly. So Jess is telling Rainbow that she's like, well, I don't want to disrespect Solene because she said that she's done. And she didn't say it in those words that I'm done, but she said it in some words. She said many words. You know, people use lots of. Okay, yes, yes. Well, to be fair, you did tell her you had a crush and then jumped into bed with another girl. So that's on you, girl. And she's like, yes, I did do that. Like, I'm not saying it was a good thing, but, like, for me, I understand where I went wrong. I'm like, I, I, I cannot deal with any more of Jess's existential crisis. Like, I just need this story to wrap up.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. So I need for all of this cast to wrap up, especially Kyle, because God knows what's getting in there, you know? Have you seen any billboards? You remember the ones they used to have in la? They were like, syphilis. Got syphilis explosion. Like, yeah, syphilis explosion.
Ronnie Carroll
Yeah.
Ben Mandelker
Wrap it up. So, all right, guys, this charter first day was a big day for all of us dealing with that lady. But listen, everyone came together, literally, from what I've heard. All right, let's see what we've got here. 22,000. And everyone's like, hey, it's been worse. It could have been Contessa. It could have been contest.
Ronnie Carroll
It could have been Contessa. Or the gays.
Ben Mandelker
Or the gays. Yes.
Ronnie Carroll
Yeah, the gays are worse than contessa.
Ben Mandelker
22,000 isn't the worst they've gotten. They're all acting like it is. What is the average, would you say, this season? Like, 25?
Ronnie Carroll
Yeah, 25. I think it's because they worked hard, it was a long charter, but, you know, I'm assuming the tip is lower because they were down a person. But it is sort of shitty because, like, I, I personally would have tipped more because I just out of embarrassment for the person that I brought onto the boat, but I guess they were not thinking that way. So they, it's time to go cleaning and cleaning and they're doing the cleaning and now it's time to go out. And so it's, they're going to be celebrating Kyle's birthday. Kyle's. Kyle and Damo are in kilts. And of course, Kyle's happy because he gets to free ball around. And you know, I wore a kilt once when I was in the 10th grade production of Brigadoon. And I will say, well, I wore underwear first and foremost. I was not about to skin.
Ben Mandelker
What a poser. What a poser.
Ronnie Carroll
Harry Beaton always wears underwear. Everyone knows that. Yeah, I'm brigadine, but it was fun. I actually really enjoyed wearing a kilt.
Ben Mandelker
Well, you can do it every day, you know, It'll get you.
Ronnie Carroll
Yes, I could.
Ben Mandelker
Look how, look how, you know, like.
Ronnie Carroll
I could eat a bagel and wear a kilt every day if I want to.
Ben Mandelker
You could live the life. You live the life you want, you know, so now people are getting dressed to go out, and Hugo's like, wow, you saw this gentleman putting on the shoe of Helen, right? I mean, that was service. And Carl's like, oh, Helen, trip. I. Helen in the water. I'm like, what? And Anthony goes, what? What did he say? He. The primary. Did he deconstruct her marzipan?
Ronnie Carroll
Was he putting. Was he dipping the. The strawberry in the chocolate? So Carol's. I swear to God, the idea, the whole flotation device. She had an idea in her brain and she knew what she wanted. I swear to God. God, look, listen to him taking the piss out of that situation. It's so blatantly obvious he's joking.
Ben Mandelker
And Hugo isn't sure if this is true and he does not want to know. And Kyle's like, my dick went inside her. And I was like, we can't do this right now, Helen. And so I go, so did you put condom? Oh la la. No condom. Oh la la. Oh, my God. No, no, no, no, no. No commercials.
Ronnie Carroll
Here comes one right now.
Ben Mandelker
I don't think he was kidding either, but we did see a camera under the water. Don't you think they would have gotten his little wiener going in there?
Ronnie Carroll
So I don't think so. I don't think so. I think. I think Kyle is bragging right now because he thinks he's. It's safe to brag. And he's drunk. And I. I think he's like, he's. He's. To me, he's blatantly caught this episode. So I think he's bragging right now. And by the way, I think that Hugo, as his supervisor, kind of dropped the ball here because he should have sat down Kyle and said, listen, what you said before in the van, I need to know if you were joking or not. And said he just sort of, like, laughed it off. It's like. Because Fraser was the one who actually wound up. Up having to escalate it and which he actually should have done later on. And it really should have been Hugo. So that is my thought on Racer didn't really.
Ben Mandelker
He just made someone else do it so he wouldn't get in the trouble. Yeah.
Ronnie Carroll
But he was like, look, this is gonna have to go to the captain. And that. And that should have been Hugo's response because it was his department and he heard it firsthand.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, Kyle's an idiot. So Kyle's like, yeah, you know. Yeah. So he says, my dick went in her. So super classy. And then Jess in the other van. I guess we go to dinner now, right? So they're asking for a special cake for Kyle's birthday and all that good stuff. And then Jess is sitting next to Solane, which is a bad idea. And solely is trying to flirt with her. And Jess is like, no, I just want to have fun. I'm cutting you off. And she's like, oh, maybe I need to be more easy now. Like, all I have to do is bite you and then you're done. I'm done. You know, I bite you, it's finished. Nothing anymore. I was like, no, no, no, you don't bite me. Look, I'm showing respect for Barbara. Look at that.
Ronnie Carroll
So then Kyle sees, like, a lady at the bar who looks sort of like that New Jersey redhead from last season who got with Harry. And he basically the timer goes off, a countdown to them hooking up. He gets up, he goes to the bar, and he's like, mom, I'm sorry, I'm just gonna have to interrupt here. I cannot come and say hello. I cannot come and not say hello to you here at the bar. And she's like, so where are you from? He's like, scotland. Can you not. Like, can you not are in. Like, where are you from? Like, can't you tell if I'm from Scotland? So she's from Boston. They talk for about three seconds and then start to make out.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, he's already kind of fall down drunk. And she just takes one looks at look at the camera, and she's like, I'm gonna fuck this guy. She's like, I'm gonna fuck this guy on camera. I don't even know what show he's on. I'm gonna fuck him on camera. Let's do this.
Ronnie Carroll
She's like, it's my last night in St. Martin and I want to get banged. So let's do it. Come on, let's go Scottish.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. So she does. She makes out and then everybody's watching and Celine's like, oh, they're kissing. Look at that. And Hugo asks if she's jealous and she says, of course not. Of course not. But that's not true because we see her sucking on her straw very hard and angrily. She's like, I cannot believe. I cannot believe. I don't understand why Solene is so confused about everybody being mildly into her when they call you. So. So you're setting yourself up for failure.
Ronnie Carroll
Yeah, yeah, it's in the name. So Martina and Kyle go off to a beach to have sex. And looks like they have sex because you see it's all silhouetted. And he's like, I'm naked under this. Under this kilt, I'm naked. She's like, oh, I really like you. Do you like me? Yeah, you're very attractive. So they're all eating dinner and, like, they get like, Kyle's like, nice dinner arrives. He's just not there. They're all laughing, the sparkler's going off. And then. And then Martine and Kyle then relocate from the. The beach to just a shitty, shitty public bathroom instead.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, they just bang in the bathroom. So then Fraser and Jess, you know, Fraser's like, would you like to talk outside, possibly on the beach where Kyle just went so I can tattle tale on him? And she's like, okay, sure, I will talk. Let me tell you about my feelings about what I've done to Barbara. He's like, oh, my God, please, please stop. My head's hurting. So he tells her to stop fucking with Barbara. It's not a game. And if she's gonna keep flirting with so so. Because she's like, but she's so pretty. And he's like, oh, my God, stop being so fucking shallow.
Ronnie Carroll
But I'm thinking about Barbara. It's like, okay with Barbara. It's not a game. And if you're going to continue with so so then forget Barbara. Simple as that. Okay, so if I continue with so so I can also continue with Barbara. No, it's so so or Barbara so so and Barbara. Okay, got it.
Ben Mandelker
We just got a text from our friend Sosa. Isn't that crazy? I mean, talking so so Sosa. Hey, so so we're talking about Sosa right now. Sosa.
Ronnie Carroll
Oh, my God. And I.
Ben Mandelker
So Rainbow is like, yeah, this bro still he's still gone. And Fraser's like, well, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. So of course he sees a camera crew out there, so he's gonna go inspect to see what he finds. And it's Kyle, this girl. And he pulls Jess in and we hear Martine is the girl. She's like, I love you. And he's like, I love you as well. Look at your. Just look at you. Oh, you've got the urinal puck in your mouth. You might want to leave that here.
Ronnie Carroll
And then she goes, smell you later. Which is probably an accurate thing to say considering they just point in the mental.
Ben Mandelker
So then they just separate. And meanwhile, Jess takes a picture. She's like. She opens the door and takes a picture of it, which, I don't know. Some shows are so like this. It's okay. Some shows, people are fine with it like this, and some people are like, that is revenge porn. You are fired. Fired forever.
Ronnie Carroll
They're on international waters. I. I just think it's immature. I'm like, just let them have sex. Okay. If we want to see it documented, don't worry. It's all. It is all being documented. I was like, how could she document them having sex as I watch them having sex?
Ben Mandelker
Well, the camera crew didn't get them having sex. Just she.
Ronnie Carroll
No, not really.
Ben Mandelker
Camera crew stayed out of there.
Ronnie Carroll
But it was pretty quick. It was. It was largely harmless, to be honest. And yes, they go back to the table and Fraser's like, but I just found him fucking a woman in the bathroom floor. And Barbara's like, but how. Which position? That is not nice. It's not nice. And just is like, you think I wouldn't document? Let me show it to you. And by taking this photo, it proves how much I love you, Barbara. So they look at this picture and you just see, like, it's, it's. It's actually a pretty. It's a benign photo. You just sort of see some legs and whatever.
Ben Mandelker
Some legs here. While Kyle's on top of her in his guilt. So then everybody. Kyle comes back into the restaurant with this girl and everybody starts applauding them. And the girl's like, thank you. Thank you. That's right. Thank you. And then she goes back to the bar and her friend is there and she's like, oh, my God, are you okay? She's wiping off her back just like.
Ronnie Carroll
Two feet away from everyone. I kind of. I loved the brazenness of it all. I thought it was great. I was like, whatever. They wanted a fuck. They Fucked.
Ben Mandelker
Also, the girl love that. The girl's like, yep. That's why I always carry a Tide stick, Martine.
Ronnie Carroll
So I always carry a tarp in my purse. But then Kyle, like, his shirt is open. It's inside out. I wonder if it was inside, I don't know why it'd be inside. I don't know what's going on. But he sits down, his hair is, like, in. Going in every single direction. Like, he also has a look on his face to his credit. Like, Kyle, after. He's. His face just looks different. It's like a different color. Like. Like, it's like his eyeballs down by his mouth or something. Like, his nose is on his forehead. He's all scrambled up.
Ben Mandelker
After, he says, he's also just wasted, you know, he's like, fall down drunk. And so he's eating his steak and smiling at everybody. Like he just. When something. Everyone's grossed out. And Selene's like, when you came back from your sex with your women of tonight. And he's like, right? And she goes, oh, so now they go to the Jacuzzi. So they go back to the place. Okay, the boat. And they get in the Jacuzzi. It's Kyle and Celine. And she's like, so when you come back from your sex with your woman of tonight, and you were like, she's. She was better than you. That's not polite to say. Why would you say this in front of all the people? And he's like, well, well. So it's probably not polite, but I never said I'm a good person. I don't think I'm a good person. Yeah. Now he's doing the whole, look at me. I'm just a drunk. I'm just a drunk sex addict. How could anybody like me? Nobody could possibly like me.
Ronnie Carroll
I'm just a gigolo in everywhere I go. People never care about me. Yeah, he's doing this because when he came back to the table, he was like, yeah, it was great. It was better than you, Selene. Which was a different move and unnecessary. And so now he's doing the thing. Like, yeah, I was rude, but I never said I was a good person in the first place. Which feels very, like 1994, like, real world, you know? And so Solana's like, I just think it's rude. I was like, why is he caring? He's like, well, maybe I'm rude. Maybe that's what I am. So why does that bother you? Like you don't care? What, so you don't care. And she's. And she's like, well, I know. It's like maybe now it's finished. Like maybe you are not good people with me. He's like, whatever we had was whatever. I don't want to know you anymore. I want nothing to do with you.
Ben Mandelker
But think about all the stray people catching or all the people catching stray, like horniness on this show. Just from Celine and Kyle. I mean, these two are flirting with each other, so she wants to make him jealous. So then she makes out with Jess. And then she was just kind of an innocent standerby. And then Jess wants to make her jealous, so she gives some to Barbara. And then she wants to make Barbara jealous, so she gives it to Celine again. Then Kyle gets mad at slain, so he gives it to this other girl. I mean, there are so many passerbys just catching stray sex because of these people trying to revenge other people. It's kind of amazing. I know.
Ronnie Carroll
You know, as they say in Turkey, Basibo 6 yap my seviorum, I love stray sex.
Ben Mandelker
Cats.
Ronnie Carroll
Cats. The cats of cats.
Ben Mandelker
Stray sex. I mean, so then they kind of get into it and he's trying to. He's all riled up and obviously very hurt by Celine, but she's like, whatever. And she says, well, maybe when you are not good people with me. He's like, whatever we had was whatever. I don't want to know you anymore. I want nothing to do with you. Okay, well, you know, you've already had sex with like two full other people today and you didn't have any chance with her anyway. Why are you acting like you broke up with her?
Ronnie Carroll
She already dumped you. You were the one who was pursuing her. She wasn't pursuing you. Like, she's just not that into you. So why are you making it seem like you're dumping her?
Ben Mandelker
But there's no innocent either. I mean, she did look all upset when he was doing all this stuff with the other girl. Like she had some claim and her, you know, her thing about just needing people to be attracted to her or she gets mad and then she fucks over every single person but then cries. It's bizarre. It's bizarre. It needs help. She needs help on a serious. She.
Ronnie Carroll
She does need help. So now it's 12:52am And Jess is like, barbara, can I talk to you? Like, oh God, here we go. Earlier I spoke with Fraser. Like we had dinner and stuff and obviously Soso and I were super touchy and he called me out. He was like, if you want something. The way that you're acting is really not showing that. And I agree with him 100%. Even if nothing happens between us, like, me and Soso are done. You were just touching with her like two hours ago and someone else had to tell you, you better stop. Like, you didn't even come to that realization yourself. And now you're like, we are totally done, Jess. I swear to God. Like, just throw yourself off the boat at this point.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, this isn't cool. And I don't. Like, the Barbara fell for this because she's gonna just keep doing it over and over again. She's acting like she's never heard any of this before. Like, I can't believe it. Do you know what Fraser told me? That if I'm flirting with someone, but I want someone else, that it doesn't look good. Isn't that crazy? So thankfully I got that lesson and.
Ronnie Carroll
Now I realize I just want to be with you and me. And so. So are completely done. Like, what? It was two hours ago. You were flirting at the table.
Ben Mandelker
She's like, but, you know, I have hurt because I have feelings. And so I don't know, because you hurt me. But that was not nice. But then you asking for date is nice. Nice. So I'm gonna go for nice because, you know, maybe you're not good, maybe you're not nice, but at least you can buy me a steak. So I'm going. I'm going to the date.
Ronnie Carroll
You know, it's not nice, but I am horny. So okay, I'll go. I was like, no, Barbara.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, no, yeah, well, you know, as long as you just take the steak out of it. Don't let yourself get hurt, but girl, so. And also, it's just so not flattering, probably to watch this back and hear somebody being like, yeah, you know, Barbara's nice and I really like that she's actually gay, but God, Celine is really what I want. She's so beautiful. But she's probably not a good decision. I should really go for the, you know, reliable Honda over the BMW that I'm really craving. Right?
Ronnie Carroll
Yes.
Ben Mandelker
Flattering. Do you think that is for Barbara to hear, you know, Jesus.
Ronnie Carroll
Yeah, well, we know because the Instagram wall makes its return and here's Barbara saying, you know, I am heart and, you know, but I do have some feelings, like, at the same time, like, I don't. I don't think I am trusting her, you know, so, like, say, like, okay, like, when she's going to change her mind again, like, I think this day, like, it's more about conversation. Understand? Like, where are we? You know, like, everyone deserves a second chance. But, like, never try. Like, if you never try, you never know. Like, okay, yeah, Ronnie's right. You're in it for the free meal. You can try to make it seem like you. You're trying to, like, understand this woman better. You understand what she's all about, you know? I also don't understand why this deserved an Instagram wall, this moment for her to be like, I don't know, maybe she deserves a second chance because it.
Ben Mandelker
Was showing us that Barbara has good friends, you know, Barbara's Instagram all I like because it's like, look, here's me at a pottery class. You know, I like that. She's like, I've. I'm dancing with an older lesbian lady. Look, and look at me, I'm walking with the penguin. You know, it's like, hers is somewhat interesting, so I like it. She's like, look, I've gardened a ficus, grew it from a seed. So. By the way, I need to water that plant you gave me. Look how big it's getting, that plant.
Ronnie Carroll
So big.
Ben Mandelker
It's gotten so big. It's like huge. Yeah, it's impressive.

In this episode of Watch What Crappens, hosts Ben Mandelker and Ronnie Carroll dive into the scandalous events of Below Deck Season 12, Episode 11: "Aruma Mill So Stupid Title". The duo offers their characteristic blend of praise, ridicule, and sharp commentary on the latest happenings aboard the luxury yacht, focusing on the drama surrounding Kyle's controversial actions.
The episode centers around the much-hyped moment when Kyle allegedly had sex in the bathroom. Ben kicks off the discussion with a strong reaction:
Ben Mandelker [03:53]: "Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. What the fuck, bro? Ew. Ew to all of you. All three of you. You're all gross. You're all fucking gross."
Ronnie concurs, expressing disappointment over the choice of location:
Ronnie Carroll [04:41]: "I just feel like they could have chosen a better location. There was like, literally anywhere else that they could have gone to."
Ben and Ronnie delve into the ongoing frustration with the show's use of Instagram walls—a feature they deem annoying and disruptive to the flow of the episode.
Ben Mandelker [05:57]: "I think it's just part of life. Like, Instagram walls are the most annoying part of everybody's life."
Ronnie highlights a brief moment of optimism when it seemed the show might abandon the Instagram walls, only for them to return unexpectedly:
Ronnie Carroll [05:19]: "Honestly, they're the most annoying part of every person I know."
The hosts shift focus to Anthony's subplot, where he's preparing an elaborate eight-course meal. Ben humorously critiques Anthony's culinary efforts:
Ben Mandelker [09:31]: "When he came out with the mini quiche, I died."
Ronnie points out Anthony's recurring sob stories, questioning his sincerity and impact on the show’s narrative:
Ronnie Carroll [11:03]: "Bringing in a sob story about... it's like, 'I'll save the dyslexia for this week.'"
A significant portion of the episode analyzes the strained relationship between Jess and Barbara. Ronnie criticizes Jess for her manipulative behavior:
Ronnie Carroll [35:13]: "You were the one who played the game. You were the one who actively kissed Barbara to make Selene jealous and bring Celine back to you from the fold into the fold."
Ben reflects on the simplistic moral dichotomy presented by Barbara:
Ben Mandelker [33:10]: "I'm into a very black and white way to look at the world. Nice. Not nice."
The discussion intensifies as they examine Kyle's irresponsible actions and poor decision-making. Ben labels Kyle as "gross" and an "idiot":

Ronnie adds to the criticism, emphasizing the negative impact of Kyle's actions on the crew:
Ronnie Carroll [40:41]: "He's the ickiest person."
Ben and Ronnie explore the recurring theme of jealousy and revenge among the crew members, highlighting how it leads to a cycle of indiscretions and conflicts.
Ben Mandelker [49:07]: "They're like, at least she gets, like, cuter people. So you don't feel bad about it, if that makes any sense."
The hosts discuss the superficial nature of apologies on the show, questioning the authenticity and effectiveness of the characters' attempts to mend relationships.
Ronnie Carroll [36:28]: "I do appreciate, like, she's sort of trying to be introspective as opposed to many of the other, you know, boys we've seen on Bravo for years and years. But, like, I'm over it."
Ben Mandelker [03:53]: "Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. What the fuck, bro? Ew. Ew to all of you. All three of you. You're all gross. You're all fucking gross."
