Who cares what happens when there's so much that crap?
Amanda Caroline
Hello and welcome to Watch what Crappins, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about.
Ben Mandelker
I'm Ben Mandelker and welcome to the show. Today we're actually not going to talk about technically a Bravo show. Talking about a hey you show because we are going to be recapping Ladies, not ladies. London. Oh my God. Real Housewives of London, the first episode at least. I'm Ben Mandelker and joining me there is Mr. Sir Ronnie Caram. Hi, Ronnie, how are you?
Juliet Mayhew
Hello. Mistress Rondell Carol.
Ben Mandelker
Mistress Rondell Karam. So first of all, join us on Monday nights for whatever activity we're doing last. Last Monday it was crappy hour live. This Monday it's Amazon Live and we alternate between them. So come join us. Amazon Live will be at 4pm West Coast Time and 7pm East Coast Time. And we'll also be on the Amazon prime channel on your television unless there's some sort of thing that goes awry. But, but fingers crossed, we should be there. So looking forward to that. But we had a lot of people over the past few weeks say please recap Real Housewives of London because we're in a bit of a Bravo lull and we're a little hesitant at first because a lot of our audience won't be able to actually watch this show unless they get like a, a, you know, what do you call those things, VPN or something like that. And also like, what if it comes to Bravo? We don't want to shoot our load too soon.
Amanda Caroline
But then we said, you know what.
Ben Mandelker
Fuck it or watch what happens. We can do whatever we want. So we decided we're going to recap this first episode.
Ronnie Karam
We.
Ben Mandelker
Ronnie, can you give some recommendations of how people can find this if they want to watch it?
Ronnie Karam
No, not legally.
Ben Mandelker
I think you have to get a. I think you have to get A vpn.
Ronnie Karam
And I mean, I went on a torrent site which is totally illegal. So, you know, if you want to.
Ben Mandelker
Go to prison, of course you didn't do that.
Ronnie Karam
You want to go to prison like me, you will do something like that. I've read that people are getting a VPN and getting the hey you channel through their Amazon Primes. Like their making it look like they're overseas on their Amazon Prime. I don't know if that works. And that's why we can't cover it because it's just going to confuse people. Now if we did get obsessed with this, we could cover it for our international market because it's not like we don't have anybody over there. We do. You know, we could find it and, and just have you guys listen to it maybe. But it looks like Bravo's coming back to life a little bit next week anyway. But for now, let's just check it out because it's a housewives show. We've got to look, you know, why not?
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, we have to look. Everyone was saying so many good things about it. And I have to say, I've only watched one episode. I love it.
Ronnie Karam
I love it. I love it too. It's so good.
Ben Mandelker
Bravo. Bravo needs to import this right a way. This needs to be on Bravo or Peacock, like whatever, get this to America. Because this is already such a top tier Real Housewives, like, it is so good. And the fact that Bravo like spent two years fiddling around with Dubai, which admittedly I really liked the second Dubai season, but like the fact that they went there instead of like going to the posh capital of London. I mean, Dubai is posh, but London is posh with a capital P. I mean, that's where posh is from. So it's like a wasted opportunity.
Ronnie Karam
Get the proper figured because they did Ladies of London and that didn't really work out. That that was done for London, you know, and I, I don't like it. And I love that this show came back and they took a lot from Ladies of London. You know, they did the God Save the Queen. They didn't do the song, but they did actually have a title thing that came up that said God save the Queens, which is very, you know, Ladies of London. Like God saves the Queen. God save the Queen.
Juliet Mayhew
And guess what? The queen is me.
Ronnie Karam
But this one did really go back to those roots and we had some songs like, you know, I'm a girl.
Juliet Mayhew
And that's why, because I'm a girl. I'm a glamorous girl, you know, which is our favorite.
Ronnie Karam
Like Trick Simon stuff. Like back to just girl power. Songs making no sense other than just.
Juliet Mayhew
Being like, oh, I've got boobs cause I'm a girl. I've got lips cause I'm a girl. I'm a girl love and I'm a girl song. Love it. And.
Ben Mandelker
And the show literally steals from Ladies of London. Juliet Angus is an actual cast member. But what I actually kind of loved, what was so hilarious is that in this first episode, they're like, let's leave the American off, okay? Let's not, let's not force her on our British audience just yet. Like, she. Juliet was the tacky ass American on Ladies of London. And from what we can tell, she's gonna be the tacky ass American on this show too. And they're like, let's establish our brand as being, you know, wealthy and impressive and aspirational before we like shock all the Brits with Juliet Angus.
Ronnie Karam
Well, from what I've read is she doesn't even come until way late. I don't think she's in the first few episodes at all. So they. She must have been a later addition. At first I was like, why not? Oh, go ahead.
Ben Mandelker
I'm sorry. I was just gonna say there's this woman, I think Kate or Katie, who it seems to be a friend of, and she's in the. Later in the episode when they. When the cast is down and has their argument, she's there. And I almost wondered, was she supposed to be a cast member? And then they swapped her out with Juliet later. That was my suspicion. Go on.
Ronnie Karam
Oh, I don't know. But I loved her. I loved her too. She looked like. She looked like.
Ben Mandelker
And she's like, chevroy.
Juliet Mayhew
Yeah.
Ronnie Karam
Here's the thing. I. What I was going to say is I was kind of. I was like, why wouldn't you bring some of the London ladies back? Because, I mean, come on, Caroline. I know that Caroline's in Dubai, but she'll always move back for a TV show. And we do see her in some upcoming clips, so she's going to at least guest star. But some of those ladies were great and I would love them back on my tv. But then I saw these ladies and I was like, these are actually really. Cast is really good. They're all crazy.
Juliet Mayhew
Crazy.
Ronnie Karam
And I love that they're all older. You know, they're pretty much all older, which I really liked. They're all completely crazy. They all dress crazy. They've all got all this money, all over the place. And it is kind of a return to form of the original Housewives. And you can tell that it's like, let's take this property and make it our own. But they're still having to do, like, the formulaic things, like, oh, the glamorous.
Juliet Mayhew
Oh, the cars and the money and the jewels and the purses.
Ronnie Karam
It's just so cheesy and great. It feels like a throwback.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. I mean, there was part of me that thought, wouldn't it be funny if they brought Caprice back and put her on this show? But it's. It's for the best. I mean, and Juliet will be a great heel because she's just gonna be so awful and embarrassing. And it's great that they. They have Caroline Sandberg. Like, Caroline Sanbert is like a plug and play. You know, like, let's help out a new show kind of thing. Like, she just always pops up. And in fact, I would be happy if they slowly layer her in and just make her part of the show just because I just need more Caroline Stanberry in general. But this. This show was great. And it also had all the things you want from a Real Housewife show. It was campy. It was delusional. I mean, you have a. A giant party, a climactic party in the episode to celebrate International Women's Day. Women supporting women. And it's a whole bunch of poor women serving rich women. That's what the entire thing was. I was like, this is amazing. Let's gather here. To all these poor people who get to serve us caviar. And then you also have a dentist fight. I mean, that was actually breaking new ground, I don't think.
Ronnie Karam
Fighting about child dentistry, but that was pretty good.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. So, yeah.
Juliet Mayhew
And just the whole, like, oh, I'm going to have a women's. International women's.
Ronnie Karam
Oh, okay. Okay. That's your first party. But it's in her home with pictures of herself everywhere. And it's all branded with all of her, you know, her face products. Crap. It's like, oh, okay, we're selling, we're branding our international Women's Day. Are we? I loved it.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, it was great. Absolutely. Really wonderful.
Ronnie Karam
All right, well, let's. Let's get in.
Juliet Mayhew
As.
Ronnie Karam
As any new show, you know, we get a lot of quick cuts in the beginning with a bunch of people we don't know yet. So it's very like, the girl.
Juliet Mayhew
I'm a girl who's a queen.
Ronnie Karam
And a lot of little snippets like.
Juliet Mayhew
Oh, London is The capital of the world. The world.
Amanda Caroline
London is just so pretty.
Juliet Mayhew
It's a sea where dreams come true where the streets are paved with gold.
Amanda Caroline
London's just so pretty.
Ben Mandelker
I would love it if just like, someone just kept saying, london's so pretty.
Amanda Caroline
London is just so pretty.
Ben Mandelker
And then we see Juliet. And by the way, there's two Juliets on this show. There's gonna be Australian Juliet and American Juliet. So basically, they're like, get all of the. Get all of, like, our British offshoot, like, colonial. Colonial Juliets and bring them in. We'll get an American and Australian, and we'll ridicule them both for being trashy.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah.
Ben Mandelker
So we have Juliet showing off some shoes, being, aren't they amazing? And then we also have someone named Nessie, who I love Nessie. Oh, I love Nessie. She gives such nasty looks to the camera. That's my favorite.
Ronnie Karam
And she does it with a smile. And she'll, like, crinkle her eyes a little bit and be like. Which I love. And then we've got Karen. Karen, who's Jamaican, and I think she's one of my favorites already so far.
Ben Mandelker
Oh, she's.
Ronnie Karam
She's really funny.
Ben Mandelker
Yes.
Juliet Mayhew
So it's a city of heritage and hierarchy. London is a city where wealth whispers and ambition.
Ben Mandelker
So really copter.
Ronnie Karam
They're really selling us on London.
Juliet Mayhew
London. The streets are paved with gold and ambition, souls. And the wealth whispers.
Ben Mandelker
I know. I love that.
Amanda Caroline
Ambition soars.
Ben Mandelker
And then you realize you're just a commoner, and you'll always be a commoner and never be accepted into the lord's class. So then we have Panthea, or, sorry, Panthea.
Amanda Caroline
And she's like, this tiny little island in the middle of nowhere. Rule the world once upon a time.
Ben Mandelker
And she's, like, so proud. I'm like, I feel like there's a lot of people that would not be as excited as you are about that, but that's okay. And then we have Amanda again saying.
Amanda Caroline
So much history and power and class and money and jewelry and scones and sidewalks and people and lights and bricks and pebbles and stores and jellies and jams. I could go on.
Juliet Mayhew
Do you want me to keep going on London? It's fit for a queen and for a king. It certainly fit for me. London paved gold.
Amanda Caroline
It said pretty.
Ronnie Karam
So it's just a lot of this, like, we're fabulous, aren't we?
Juliet Mayhew
Aren't we fabulous?
Ronnie Karam
And then pantheist telling us what Londoners are like.
Juliet Mayhew
They're very discreet and politically correct.
Ronnie Karam
Which is why they added in, I think American Juliet, because everyone is very prim and proper. And then you're going to get Juliet in here to be like, you're just.
Juliet Mayhew
A stupid slut is what you are. You. How many names you even have? So slut face. Hey, how much? How much? How much Ozempic do you take? Loser?
Ronnie Karam
So they had to get the Americans in there to ruffle. Ruffle those feathers.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. I also feel so bad that London has to do this whole preamble because, like, we're used to it with like Salt Lake City or Potomac or some like Orange County. It's like a lot of people may not have a huge awareness of what those places are all about. They may have just a vague sense. So you need to have things like.
Amanda Caroline
Orange county is where the wealth comes to play.
Ben Mandelker
This is where you've got beach, you've.
Amanda Caroline
Got sunshine, we have all the fabulous.
Ben Mandelker
Designers, you have land, we have mansions, they have to sell themselves. But like, London does should not have to do this. Like, we all know what London is to have to be like.
Amanda Caroline
London is where there's wealth.
Ben Mandelker
It's like, yeah, no shit, Sherlock. There's a full on palace there. Okay, we get it. There's crown jewels. You don't have those in Orange County.
Ronnie Karam
And I love, I just love the way they fight. So we get clips of fights and Amanda, who's like the super posh single lady who has the international Women's Day party later, she goes, what are you.
Juliet Mayhew
Saying, you pea brain, you stupid idiot?
Ben Mandelker
And she's great because she sort of looks like Nicole Kidman meets Claudia Schiffer. And she sort of like walks around with this like ice queen smile. And you just know she's gonna be the biggest raging bitch of them all. And I'm like waiting for that to like emerge. But right now she's in this polite phase where she keeps on bragging about the fact that she once dated someone from Wham. And the other guy from Wham, Andrew Rick, the guy that remembers.
Ronnie Karam
Otherwise known as the other guy from Wham. Yeah. And she mentions him, I think 20,000 times. She's like, yes.
Juliet Mayhew
You know, so many people I've been with, including the other guy from Wham. Have I mentioned him? Wham.
Ronnie Karam
Wham.
Ben Mandelker
We call him Tagfw. The other guy from Wham.
Amanda Caroline
So then Amanda tells us at the heart of London, all the friendships.
Ben Mandelker
I was like, oh, you're a nice. Right now, like, I know you cannot tell me that the heart of London are friendships.
Amanda Caroline
This really lovely core Group of women that we've been through really difficult times. For instance, when they change the hours at Suffrages and you have to wait a whole extra 30 minutes to get in. Tough times.
Ronnie Karam
Suffrages.
Amanda Caroline
Isn't it a department store that's called Fridges.
Ben Mandelker
A place called Suffrages.
Ronnie Karam
The Suffrages was a woman's movement, wasn't it? Those people who fought for women's rights. Suffrages, maybe.
Amanda Caroline
Excuse me, Let me amend it.
Ben Mandelker
Selfridges. It's called Selfridges.
Amanda Caroline
Well, we've been through tough times. Like the time Juliet Angus came to our group, started calling it Suffragism of Selfridges. And then we also call it Suffrages. And I went to a party, and Prince Charles was there, and I said, did you. Did you go to Suffrages recently? He said, what is that? And I realized I've been infected with Americanitis.
Ronnie Karam
So this is that lady Amanda. What's her buttons? I think she looks like Morgan Fairchild. I'm putting her up on the screen so people can see. I don't want to show too much of this because I don't want us to get kicked off the Internet for showing stuff. But I think, first of all, they're all dressed crazily. Okay. She's got a humongous bow on her shoulder, which we'll show some more of these outfits later. But that's her. Just so people can get a visual of what this lady's like.
Juliet Mayhew
So she's like, yes, at the heart of London are the friendships. And she talks in this little, little high voice, like, she's just so soft and demure. A lovely core group of women. We've been through really difficult times. We're a little naughty, a little wild, a little crazy, a little whammy. I think Oscar Wilde once said, when a man is tired of London, he's tired of life.
Ronnie Karam
And on the screen it goes ding. And it says, quote, actually by Samuel Johnson.
Juliet Mayhew
But at the end of the day, you get nothing for nothing. And that's all you can say for the life of the poor. We're not getting tired anytime soon.
Amanda Caroline
And as proof of that, of us not getting tired anytime soon. That's why I always say, wake me up before you go. Go.
Ben Mandelker
Wham.
Ronnie Karam
Tagline time.
Juliet Mayhew
So Amanda says I look like a model, but I think like a CEO.
Amanda Caroline
A CEO who's also a model.
Ben Mandelker
And then Juliet, this is. This is our Juliet. Juliet Angus. I love that Juliet Angus is so American. She's literally named after a cut of Thief. I've lived in every time zone. And I'm still ahead of you. You're literally behind all of us in America, just so you know. Oh, no, no. She's ahead. Oh, my God. I'm so. I am getting in the presence of this recap. I am getting dumber. I'm like, suffrages. And we're actually.
Juliet Mayhew
You're.
Ben Mandelker
We're ahead of you with Tom. The Earth goes the other way around now and then.
Ronnie Karam
Messi, who says they say you can't.
Juliet Mayhew
Have your cake and eat it too. I say, watch me.
Ronnie Karam
I cannot believe somebody said they're gonna eat cake in a tagline, especially a skinny little lady like this one. I was like, well, I'll bet you eat fucking cake. Later we find out that she is a cake maker, which, yeah, she makes some beautiful cakes also. I don't really trust them because they're too beautiful.
Juliet Mayhew
They're those cakes that are like, look, it's a rhinoceros.
Ronnie Karam
Like, really?
Juliet Mayhew
How does that shit taste?
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, because you had to make a strong cake to hold that thing up. You know, I think you. You left some eggs out or something.
Juliet Mayhew
To make it that stiff.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah.
Juliet Mayhew
It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappin's commercial.
Ronnie Karam
You already know we love Virgin Voyages. This cruise line is more iconic than Ramona Singer's Runway walk.
Ben Mandelker
We're talking all inclusive. Everything WI fi, dining, entertainment, group fitness classes. Everything is included. No hidden fees, no surprise charges.
Ronnie Karam
And unlike most of the cast of the Valley, all Virgin voyages trips are 100% kid free. No room for loud toys and crying kids to drown out the sounds of the ocean.
Ben Mandelker
The destinations are amazing too. Some highlights, Aruba, St. Lucia, New York, Miami, Iceland, and a below deck favorite, the Med.
Ronnie Karam
Oh, my God. The boats are beautiful. They're so modern. The rooms are just so luxurious. I love all the colored lighting in there and the balconies.
Ben Mandelker
I also just love that they are tailored for adult experiences. That makes me so happy.
Ronnie Karam
Make your next vacation a fabulous one with Virgin Voyages.
Ben Mandelker
Learn more@virginvoyages.com or contact your travel advisor. The other day I ordered from Wayfair this really cool little side table for here in this office. That way, if I ever needed my laptop, I could put my laptop on it right next to my desk setup, which was really cool. Cool. But what I've since found is that this cute little table works really well as almost like a TV table. I can bring it upstairs, I can put a drink on it while I watch tv or if I'm watching a game, because, you know, I am a sports gay. I enjoy my football. I can have my little snacks right there while I recline on the sofa. I just love my cute little table. I really do.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, when you think of game day, you might not think Wayfair, but you should. Because Wayfair is the best kept secret for incredible and affordable game day finds.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, Ronnie, you're totally right. For instance, like, aside from my cute, adorable little table, there's like plenty of outdoor tailgating. Things like coolers and grills and folding chairs and patio heaters, things like that.
Ronnie Karam
Recliners, TV stands, coffee tables, entertainment centers, serveware, bakeware, entertainment, cookware. Like slow cookers. They've got everything that you need for game day. Wayfair is your trusted destination for all things game day, from coolers and grills to recliners and slow cookers. Shop, save and score today@wayfair.com.
Ben Mandelker
That'S W-A-Y-F A I R.com Wayfair. Every style, every home. Then we go on to Australian Juliet. It says, life's a stage, darling, and I never miss my queue. So I think that's a reference to the fact that there's like all Shakespearean names in her family. So I don't know. I'm not gonna say. I have to say, I. Sadly, I think that Juliet Angus's has. She, I think, has the best tagline so far. The rest are a little like. I think Nessie's of like, they say, you can't have your cake and eat it too. And I say, watch me. I'm like, I feel like I need.
Ronnie Karam
Some watch me eat cake. I mean, that sounds like a. Like a video, like a porn video, you know, like, oh, yeah, come on.
Juliet Mayhew
My only fans and watch me eat a cake. And people are like, yeah, yeah, sorry, the cake. Yeah, it was worth the 20 bucks a month. Oh, yeah.
Ben Mandelker
I feel like hers should have been something like.
Amanda Caroline
They say, let them eat cake.
Ben Mandelker
And I say, I'll make it. Or something like that. You know, something.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, mine would be.
Juliet Mayhew
Some say, they say you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Ronnie Karam
But I did already have my cake.
Juliet Mayhew
And I ate yours. They say, let them eat cake. Well, I already ate it.
Ronnie Karam
You poor people.
Amanda Caroline
They say, you can't have your cake and eat it too. I say, I won't go near either one of them because I'm minding my figure.
Ronnie Karam
Karen says, I may be from the.
Juliet Mayhew
Commonwealth, but there's nothing common about me except my name, which is Karen.
Ronnie Karam
Pretty common name. But otherwise Pretty common.
Ben Mandelker
Otherwise good, great tagline. She has a good one. And then Panthea says, as a true.
Amanda Caroline
Londoner, I don't just sip the tea, I spill it.
Ben Mandelker
All right, that's pretty good. Pretty good.
Ronnie Karam
But also, like, do you ever want to invite her to your house? No, because she will just be spilling everywhere.
Juliet Mayhew
She's like, it was in my tagline, darling, I spill, I spill everywhere.
Ronnie Karam
So the episode begins with one of our girls.
Juliet Mayhew
Girls in power. Girls her power. And boobs too.
Ronnie Karam
Amanda is driving her Bentley very slowly through the streets, and everyone's staring at her because you know there's somebody on a pickup truck in front of her filming all of this, going 10 miles an hour, holding up traffic. But she is driving and she's like.
Juliet Mayhew
Oh, it's London at its finest today. No cost of living crisis here.
Ben Mandelker
So then someone drives up to her and goes, oh, hey, I wish I was there.
Amanda Caroline
She goes, oh, darling, looking good, thinking good. Okay, have a lovely day. All right, this is just me, Amanda Caroline, waving at people in traffic.
Ben Mandelker
Isn't this what Lisa Vanderpump did when we first saw her on Beverly Hills? We saw her in, like a convertible driving down Santa Monica Boulevard, just waving to random people like, hello, darling.
Amanda Caroline
I'm showing America that I'm wealthy, but I talk to the poor as well.
Juliet Mayhew
Hello, I'm Amanda Caroline. I'm a small town girl who grew up on the south coast in Hampshire. I came to London when I was around 20 and as a model. I was very young, very attractive.
Ronnie Karam
And we see her. The truth. Truth to all that.
Ben Mandelker
Yes.
Juliet Mayhew
And I came to London to find my fortune. Although she's a cruel mistress, London launched me and made me the person that I am, which we'll find out very soon is evil, awful, terrible, spoiled and crazy. You're welcome.
Amanda Caroline
Now here, everyone. Here's my little poodle, my pup, whose name is Monty. True madness. Isn't that hilarious, Monty? You look so cute in your little outfit. True madness indeed. And I love your business shirt. Oh, goodness. Isn't Monty True madness going to steal the hearts of everyone on this sweet little island we call Britain?
Juliet Mayhew
And she keeps.
Ronnie Karam
She's always holding this little white, fluffy poodle dog. And the dog we find out is 15 years old, and it just keeps staring into the camera and growling, which I love, like, let's get a of Monty. And it's like.
Juliet Mayhew
Monty Drew madness.
Ronnie Karam
So she calls Megan and she's like.
Juliet Mayhew
Megan, I just came back from the meeting in Harley Street. It went so well. They're gonna Place an order of 100 units. They're gonna give us a whole branded space. Get on that. Business, business, business. We do business in our Bentleys here in London, where the streets are. Pa.
Amanda Caroline
Early 2022, I started my skincare business. Amanda Caroline. Skincare launched straight into Saks Fifth Avenue in the US Literally. We put it in a T shirt gun and shot it off and it landed in Saks Fifth Avenue. And I'm all. I'm one of the only prestige beauty brands in the entire world that's made in England. That's right, everyone. I invented skincare. You're welcome.
Ronnie Karam
I think it's so funny how she's.
Juliet Mayhew
Like, look at me, badass CEO and magnate. I've had my business since 2022.
Ben Mandelker
I know.
Amanda Caroline
Amanda Caroline. All right, I was going to. All right, Megan. I was going to run through women's. The Women's Day event can appears are looking good. Flowers arriving in the morning, weather's looking good. And so I think we're all set. We're going to have a party in a very cramped townhouse. Are you excited?
Juliet Mayhew
Here's one thing I think we still need for the Women's Day event. Women. I think it might be important to have women there. So let's just scratch the list that we've got now. I just don't trust it. There are too many penises on this list. I only want. Well, maybe not only women. Can we invite men, too? Shall we have men? Let's celebrate Men's Day.
Ben Mandelker
Why?
Juliet Mayhew
Isn't it international Men and women's? No, I can't brand that.
Ronnie Karam
Really?
Juliet Mayhew
Well, Just women. Stick with women. Find me some women, please.
Amanda Caroline
How about this? Ooh, let's have a sorting hat. And you arrive at the party and we find out, are you a servant or are you a caviar eater? And one goes downstairs, one goes upstairs, like the old show. It'll be perfect. A great way to celebrate women of all kinds.
Juliet Mayhew
I've found out a caviar that acts like poison to a poor person, so only the rich people will be able to digest it. And any poor person that tries to eat it will fall dead on the floor. Oh, can we get some women dead body cleaner uppers, please? That might be important.
Amanda Caroline
Make sure they don't have the caviar either. You know, you have to understand person on the phone with me that skincare is bigger than the car industry. We're just at the beginning and I'm.
Juliet Mayhew
You don't see people putting Volvos on their face. No, no, You Don't.
Amanda Caroline
No, no, listen. I'm building a billion dollar company. It's only a ten thousand dollar company at the moment, but I'm building a billion dollar company. I live in Belgravia. It's the most exclusive neighborhood in London and one of the most expensive per square foot in the world. And we just got a Starbucks. We're so excited. I pretty much live next to King Charles. I mean, I'm pretty much in his room. I'm not saying that I'm a stalker of his, but I did leave him a cassette tape from Wham and said, guess who? I know it was Andrew Wrigley.
Juliet Mayhew
It was really funny. I left the card, it said Wham. And then it was signed bam. Thank you, ma'. Am. So I think he liked that. I think he did.
Ronnie Karam
So she's bragging that she lives right next to the Royal Palace. Is that really considered a good neighborhood? I mean, we went there. It wasn't like hideous or anything. There wasn't like spray paint everywhere. But isn't that kind of like a tourist trap?
Ben Mandelker
I feel like it's a good neighborhood for. I feel like there's like a lot of bragging rights. I assume if you're near Buckingham palace.
Amanda Caroline
Like, the Queen lives next door, I.
Ben Mandelker
Could invite her over.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, but you inside, and there's just like, I don't know, pudgy, dirty people with fanny packs walking around aimlessly, like.
Juliet Mayhew
Hey, you know where that museum for Truman Capote is?
Ben Mandelker
Well, how else do you know you're going to be rich? How else do you know that you're rich unless you see the poor people downstairs, another person. You have to have create some separate frame of.
Juliet Mayhew
I know how wealthy I am by the amount of disgust I feel every.
Ronnie Karam
Time I walk outside and look at everyone else.
Amanda Caroline
Oh, look, there are two gay podcasters from America walking by talking about Bravo Television.
Ronnie Karam
Disgusting. So she talks about how she built this. She found a large building in Belgravia and she totally demolished it.
Juliet Mayhew
And I made it into my office, my home, my event space. Oh, and this week I'm hosting a beautiful event at my home and inviting lots of friends. Let's take a look at my home, shall we?
Ronnie Karam
And we go see. And we see little. We go through and we see little clips of her home. And she's got a whole room that's like her beauty room. It's her office and it's all pictures of her.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, I also loved.
Amanda Caroline
She has like, Monty True Madness. And she walks into.
Ben Mandelker
She like, walks into her estate and there's like a servant right there. And, like, as soon as she steps in the door, she just hands off the dog. Like, hey, I take him. I can't do it. I already shot my scene with him. It's disgusting. Get this dog out of my.
Ronnie Karam
Get this monger. Like, my hands.
Ben Mandelker
It was like, so obviously a prop dog at that point. Like, just hands him off.
Ronnie Karam
Even the way she hands him over, she's holding him like this.
Juliet Mayhew
She goes, oh, hello. Here, take him. She's just like.
Ronnie Karam
Like, she's handing her the phone. She just hands her Monty.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, she's not like. She's not like, oh, can you just take Monty? It's just like, I can't deal with them right now. She just gives the servant Monty like, it's a hat. Like, here you go.
Amanda Caroline
Take this out to the back.
Ronnie Karam
And Emma, who's the. The girl who works for her, she's like, do you want some water?
Juliet Mayhew
And she goes, oh, could you give Monty some water? I would love that so much. I'd hate for Monty actually to have to walk to a dog bowl, Please. That's why we have you, Emma, please.
Amanda Caroline
By the way, Monty, he was woofing to me, and I believe he said his favorite water is servant water. So I'm afraid he's gonna. You're gonna have to use your dedicated water for Monty. Is that okay? If you don't drink any water today.
Ben Mandelker
He's just so thirsty.
Juliet Mayhew
Well, I've built this property to help him host amazing events, not just for me to sit here with Monty True Madness. Because Monty True Madness is gathering cobwebs. You know, look, I share this space with a lot of people. I'm just a very, very private person. People might know that I was married to a very wealthy British businessman.
Ronnie Karam
Oh, yeah. I'm shocked. I'm totally shocked when we see a picture of him. Mark Daish, who owns Amanda's second. Wait, who owns. Oh, it's just Mark Daish, Amanda's second husband.
Juliet Mayhew
They might know that I have a daughter.
Ronnie Karam
Then we see her daughter Sophia in a picture.
Juliet Mayhew
And the Daily Mail definitely have a bit of fixation on my personal dating life. I should imagine I'm a bit of a myth.
Ben Mandelker
Okay, lady, relax. And then we see headlines that says.
Amanda Caroline
Like, amanda Cronin splits from tycoon husband. Mark Daish, millionaire, former model steps out with Wham Star Andrew Ridgely, who is the longest legs in Belgravia, seen out with aft out scene with after Wimbledon.
Ben Mandelker
Why, it's the former member of. Of. Of the.
Amanda Caroline
I Was trying to remember British bands of the 80s. And I'm completely forgetting.
Juliet Mayhew
Well, even myths have bad days. Even myths have bad days.
Ronnie Karam
So, Amanda now FaceTimes Juliet Mayhew, who is Australian. Juliet. Juliet. And this is how Juliet talks to everybody. And it cracks me up.
Juliet Mayhew
She's like, hello, Juliet. Darling, darling, you look gorgeous. You look amazing. Stunning looking, darling. I've never seen anyone more gorgeous in my life. Is that even your real face? Did you get a filter on the phone? You look absolutely. I just climaxed. I just climaxed. You are gorgeous. Are you on a ceiling pointing your finger into another finger? Because you are the ceiling. Sistine Chapel, darling. No one has been more gorgeous.
Ben Mandelker
Juliet is hilarious because she definitely has Mrs. Crowley vibes from Downton Abbey. Like the middle class woman that the upper class people have to deal with who's like, she thinks she's like, very fancy, but she's definitely from a different station in society and in. And what I. That. I mean, she's Australian and so she's like, hello, darling, how are you doing today, Juliet? I mean, Amanda's like, oh, God, does.
Amanda Caroline
Someone have Monty Troupe Madness? I need to cover up this camera so I don't have to look at her peasant face.
Ronnie Karam
Yes. Juliet definitely gives, like, she's being played by Brittany Murphy vibes.
Juliet Mayhew
Like, hi, guys. Hi. Can I sit with you today? Your table?
Ronnie Karam
Like, she is very much that personality. I really like her. I think she's so funny. She's so bubbly and she's trying so hard. And also she gives us looks like this. I'm going to put her up on the screen. She looks insane. She looks like, like a semi unwrapped piece of chocolate, you know, that's just crumpled and looking. She's like, crazy.
Ben Mandelker
You know what she looks like? It's like if. If like the alien from Alien were actually made of like, Godiva chocolate wrapper and she wears like, the tongue she's like, sticking out, like, hello, I'm birthing out of my alien.
Ronnie Karam
Yes. Like, she's popping out of a Godiva. That's a good way to put it. Y. Yeah. She's wearing this gold, like crinkly Dolce and Gabbana thing, like, with ruffle things on this. I mean, she looks crazy. And she.
Ben Mandelker
I just realized.
Juliet Mayhew
And I like it.
Ronnie Karam
I like a little effort.
Ben Mandelker
I just. Yeah. And it's a crazy outfit, but I'm just realizing what it is. I think this is actually kind of like a. Like a couture reference to like a Shakespearean dress. Right? Like, it's got, like, the ruffles around the shoulders, it's got the big collar. It's like a. It's like a throwback to that, except I think it looks absolutely crazy.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, it looks crazy. Yeah. Well, it's Dolce and then. Yeah, well, at least the belt is.
Ben Mandelker
I don't know.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah, I assume the whole thing was. So then behind her, we see the dead swan, which she brags about later in the episode that she's got a literal stuffed swan in her house, which is so creepy. And I just want that thing to bite Kyle Richards. I want it to bite her so bad. Get her. Get her swan.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. Seriously. So Juliet is like.
Amanda Caroline
Porsche is having a facial.
Ben Mandelker
It's like, seriously. And we see five minutes earlier that Juliet's dog is getting a facial. It's like a spa treatment. So Amanda is like, Juliet.
Amanda Caroline
I've. I've known her. I've known on the scene for quite a few years. She's very, very social, which I felt.
Ben Mandelker
I feel like if someone like Amanda says that you're very, very social, I feel like that's somehow like she's saying something really mean about you.
Ronnie Karam
Well, when you say something in British, you know, it's like when you're Southern, you know, like, saying bless her heart really means that, right? It means, what a loser. So you always have to, like, figure out what Amanda's saying because she does speak in British.
Juliet Mayhew
Julie, I've known on the scene for quite a few years and she's very, very social.
Ronnie Karam
Crucial.
Juliet Mayhew
I think she's a warm, bubbly, fun, energetic woman.
Ronnie Karam
And that really means. Julia has been inviting herself to parties for years because she's got some old rich man's money and this is always trying to climb up every ladder in town. She's a fake twat who's probably on crack. She's got a drug addiction. That's what she really just said.
Ben Mandelker
And she has no substance. She's just an empty, flittering Australian infiltrating ourselves.
Ronnie Karam
Amanda is so shocked by a dog grooming shop.
Juliet Mayhew
She's like, what? You're getting your dog a facial? You're getting your dog a bath? Darling, I'm in the wrong business. I mean, group washing a dog. I mean, that's. That's a business right there. That could be a business.
Ronnie Karam
It is a business, Amanda.
Juliet Mayhew
It is.
Ronnie Karam
Dog grooming is a pretty big business.
Ben Mandelker
Hold on, though. I've just found doggy deodorant and hair shine, which I've just tried on. I think I'm gonna just lather my head with doggy deodorant because I. Oh.
Amanda Caroline
Any toothpaste over there? Monty's breath is terrible. And also yours, too.
Ben Mandelker
You should probably use it.
Juliet Mayhew
Toothpaste. And then possibly lick you on your teeth and gums. That would be great, darling.
Ben Mandelker
Are you gonna come into horse ride? Go horseback riding in Hyde park with me? I literally need to check out your horsey skills.
Amanda Caroline
Oh, well, I don't know if my skills will be skilling. I don't know. But obviously, I had a big love affair with a polo player. Remember? And, of course, Andrew Ridgeley from Wham. You do know that, right?
Ben Mandelker
Andrew.
Juliet Mayhew
Oh, you remember the polo player, don't you? I know who does remember. The Daily Mail. Am I right? God, they love us. They love us. I was really sticking bowling in the arena over there.
Ronnie Karam
So now we go to meet Panthea, who is insane. We get that.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. She's like, Ava, Longoria and Ekansu mixed together. She's.
Ronnie Karam
She's fucking crazy. She's our Iranian queen here, so I love it. You know, I'm Lebanese. I'm not Iranian. But, like, in America, we're cousins, so.
Juliet Mayhew
I'm like, hey, girl. Hey.
Ronnie Karam
And she's like, oh, my God. She's talking to her housekeeper, and she's.
Juliet Mayhew
Got the gravelly voice, and she's like, hey, Aaliyah, is my makeup too much? Is my makeup too much? Aaliyah, tell me the truth.
Ronnie Karam
And her. Her house lady's like, yeah, it's a bit heavy. It's a bit heavy. Yeah.
Juliet Mayhew
Wait a minute. What do you think is too heavy? But you think I can get away with it? Like, do you think I can or not? Like, does it look bad? She goes, yeah, a little bit. Yes.
Ronnie Karam
Yes. Aaliyah for the win.
Ben Mandelker
Aaliyah cannot stand her.
Amanda Caroline
She's like, well, I was trying to cover these spots, and I don't understand why I've got these hormonal spots. How could. How come. My hat. How does that. How good does my hair look? Does it look really good? Because I slept in this.
Ben Mandelker
This.
Amanda Caroline
In it. This entire.
Juliet Mayhew
Right.
Amanda Caroline
Okay, look, my hair's good. Look, I'm gonna zhuzh my hair up. Look, I'm having a good day.
Ben Mandelker
Hair day, Right?
Amanda Caroline
I look so sexy.
Ben Mandelker
Come on, Aaliyah. Say yes. Say yes.
Juliet Mayhew
The dress, Aaliyah, Bruce Willis has better hair than you, ma'.
Ben Mandelker
Am.
Amanda Caroline
Okay, well, I'll just ignore that. I'm Panthea Parker. I was born in Iran, and I moved to London when I was 4.
Ben Mandelker
Years old.
Amanda Caroline
And we left Iran in 1979 because the revolution. And I've never looked back, so.
Juliet Mayhew
Except when Ben Affleck was shooting there, because those were honestly exciting times for everyone, weren't they? I did look like that. Oh, God, am I still spitting from all that Botox? Oh, God, it's been three weeks and I'm still spitting.
Amanda Caroline
Drooling all over.
Ben Mandelker
And Aaliyah goes, I know. Leah just has like. As she wipes off some spittle from her forehead. Yes, I am aware. You are indeed still spitting, Mum.
Ronnie Karam
Aliyah hates her ass.
Juliet Mayhew
Oh, God. When I was born, the filter of my brain to my mouth, it just disappeared. You know, I'm like Marmite, do you love me or you hate hate me? I can't lie. But I say it as it is. I just won't lie, won't do it.
Ben Mandelker
I love that straight talking Marmite. Every time I'm about to try Marmite for the first time, I'm like, I don't know if I want to try this because it's. It might sass me off. God, she really is just like Marmite.
Ronnie Karam
So she's married to an old, very.
Juliet Mayhew
Pasty man who's like, oh, hello, good morning. How are you, darling? Like, oh, good morning. I'm fine. I'm just lying in bed. I'm not going back to bed. I just like to be in bed, you know. Let me tell you the truth, because I will not lie to you, husband. I love to be in bed. I love it. I love bed.
Amanda Caroline
I got married very young and my ex husband left me without a penny before I met the love of my life, Ed. And he ticked every single box there.
Ben Mandelker
Was to tick, rich tick.
Amanda Caroline
And we're done. Got it.
Juliet Mayhew
So hopefully dead within the next 10 years. Got it. Got it.
Amanda Caroline
Oh, darling, your nose looks really bad. He's like, oh, well, I was, it was. I was at touch rugby last night and I caught a rugby ball full on the nose.
Ben Mandelker
Touch rugby. I don't know why that's so funny to me, because that's so. Like, in America we have. Well, it's like flag football, but it's, it's, it's only called flag football, right? It's like, I don't know why it's so funny. Like touch rugby, like, it's like the standard rugby is you don't touch, whereas in America the standard is you are touching and being violent. And like, the, the exception is that we're gonna play it nicely with flags, but in Britain, it's like the Standard is you actually are polite and don't tackle each other. But, like, if you're going extreme, you're gonna do the American style and tackle each other all crazy.
Amanda Caroline
I've.
Juliet Mayhew
I'm sorry, darling. I was playing one of our most popular games in the country. Be polite. Rugby much. Lead with a compliment, first of all, and end with a. End with a handshake. A nice, firm, warming handshake. And I got hit in the face of the nose. And she goes, oh, real man's man over there. That's exactly rugged. 1980s man, darling. 1980s man. You know, back when men were men. Ex.
Amanda Caroline
Wow.
Juliet Mayhew
Am I right? Ex. Wham.
Ronnie Karam
X Wham.
Ben Mandelker
People don't realize that I'm actually a champion polite rugby player. Like, they've been.
Amanda Caroline
I've been told that no one else in the league can say, please pass.
Ben Mandelker
The ball as authoritatively as I can.
Juliet Mayhew
Oh, Ed and I are like chalk and cheese, which is so different, but it works. It works. You know, I thought chalk and cheese.
Ronnie Karam
Like, you go together like chalk and cheese. I thought that was a good thing. It's not a good thing.
Ben Mandelker
Well, it could be a good thing if that's what you're looking for. But the chalk and cheese do not. They. They don't. They don't go together. Oh, yes.
Ronnie Karam
When they do, the land.
Ben Mandelker
I remember correctly from when I took a class. Early Modern England from the. The Jacobian era. I think it was something like that. Some land was for cattle and some land. There's something about land. Like the oranges are like the origin of the expression has to do with land. And some land is, like, not good for breeding cattle, maybe. And that's like the chalk or whatever. Like the good land is for the cheese and the bad land, the chocolate. Something like that. It's a great story. Samantha's like, well, we've got off to.
Amanda Caroline
We just got to start getting some stuff out of the diary. It's too much. I just feel exhausted. I don't even do anything. I don't even work, and yet I'm exhausted. I think it was one month before the wedding. I said, so, Ed, how much do you earn? And I remember drinking my coffee and the coffee went flying out of my mouth on account of the new Botox I got. I have a real issue with keeping liquids in my mouth. I mean, how are we going to live on that? I don't work. How are you going to afford a housekeeper? Come on, you're supposed to be rich. When I see an old Pacey person like you, it's supposed to be implied. You have a lot of money and you have no money. How is this even going to work?
Ronnie Karam
By the way, Chalk and cheese is an idiom meaning that two people are different. The phrase, which dates back to the 14th century, highlights extreme contrast between two subjects as the chalk and many types of cheese are superficially similar in color but vastly different in texture and purpose. So I guess they mean like nothing.
Ben Mandelker
To do with lambs.
Ronnie Karam
No, nothing to do with lambs. I mean maybe if I dove deeper, but no. Yeah, I think it's, I think actual chalk. Yeah, like that you, that you draw with. It's like it looks like it could.
Juliet Mayhew
Be cheese but don't eat it cuz it certainly doesn't taste like cheese.
Ben Mandelker
I never once thought chocolate. Like geez, I just want to put that out there. Just going to put that out there. Stupid 1400s people.
Ronnie Karam
So then chalk was very different back then. They're like, can we get a wheel of chalk please? Giant wheel of chalk.
Ben Mandelker
They have any blue chalk just like chalk with like mold on the inside. Commercials.

Ben Mandelker
So basically he was poor, but then he told her, darling, I'm growth stock.
Amanda Caroline
And that was it. I was like. It was like jumping off of a cliff. Can this man actually be wealthy? And it turns out he could be.
Juliet Mayhew
I don't even know how you people work because I'm just shattered the whole time. I mean, I don't understand. Maybe it's because I'm doing too much.
Ronnie Karam
As she's lying in bed right now and he's like, well, we do have.
Juliet Mayhew
A busy house, darling. Oh, yes, because we have three children. Show them. Show the picture of them. Sienna, Cameron and Cordelia. God, who doesn't want to grow up as a Cordelia in 2025? Am I right?
Amanda Caroline
Sienna, Cameron, Cordelia.
Ben Mandelker
Oh, and also Amir from my other marriage.
Amanda Caroline
But who cares about him off the screen? Let's go back to Cordelia, my sweet angel. Cordelia or Cameron. Sometimes I call him not Amir. Such a wonderful little boy.
Juliet Mayhew
Oh, look at this. We got a lovely invitation to Mansion House, darling. So the lord and lady mayoress invite me, the master of solicitors company and Mrs. Panthea Parker. What is it? Why doesn't it say mistress? I mean, what's the point of having a title if they're not even gonna use the title? Send that back. Have Amir take it over. Just have Emir do it. I don't want to put our own children in danger. Just have Emir do it.
Ben Mandelker
I want to know who lord and lady mayoress are. Because if they think they're being impressive by having someplace called Mansion House. I'm sorry, that's like. That's like calling someplace city, town.
Ronnie Karam
It's like trying to upgrade your. It's trying to upgrade your own house. Verbally. You're like, you know what? We couldn't really afford the square footage, so we're just going to call it Mansion House. Okay, yeah, it's a studio apartment, but.
Juliet Mayhew
Should be a mansion.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah.
Ben Mandelker
You're in London. It should be something like Elder Flower hall or like, I don't know, Goose Gooseberry House, but not like mansion house. That just seems so on the nose.
Ronnie Karam
Yeah.
Juliet Mayhew
He's like, I shall write and complain, my sweet. Yes, writing complaint. I thought that was the whole point. That I have named mistress. You know, Ed is a lawyer by day as a prestige age thing. He's now all a master of the solicitors. Because of who my husband is, I now rub elbows with those who of the world. You should get invited to so many master ambassadors homes. I go to Downing Street, I go to Buckingham Palace. I mean, God, I just see celebrities everywhere I go, being a mistress and all.
Amanda Caroline
Mistress of solicitors.
Ben Mandelker
So Ed is like, okay, well, just remember, no getting a Sophie with King Charles because.
Amanda Caroline
But is it one of those events where we have to put our phone down because if I can't put it on Instagram, it didn't happen. I have to be able to. Please, please, please. I've waited so long for you to be wealthy. I have to show everyone I bet.
Ben Mandelker
On the right horse.
Amanda Caroline
Come on, please.
Juliet Mayhew
Yes. You know, with these things as a mistress, you have to be a darling, sweetie, darling. But if I'm going to meet King Charles, I'm going to be getting a selfie. I'm gonna be getting a selfie. Oh.
Ben Mandelker
So then Ed is like, well, anyway.
Amanda Caroline
I have to get. Get to the world of work. I'm not familiar with what those concepts are, but okay. Someone's got to keep this show on the road.
Ronnie Karam
To Juliet playing tennis with her husband Tiggy.
Ben Mandelker
Oh, my God, this show is so good.
Ronnie Karam
And they talk. All these, like, older pasty white guys do sound the same. He's like, all right, I'm just gonna.
Juliet Mayhew
Some balls to you. And you just smack them back. Okay. What was that? Oh, I'm gonna hit some balls. And you hit them one.
Ben Mandelker
All right.
Juliet Mayhew
There's some balls. Oh, what kind of. It was that one then. All right, here it is again. Can you please. You said you were gonna hit them to me. Good one there, honey. I mean, who would have known that I used to be quite good at one point. I mean, Serena Williams, Watch out. Marinara to live.
Ronnie Karam
Who.
Juliet Mayhew
Don'T they?
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, better watch out. Stephanie Graffiti and Andres Agrisies. Sir Julia says, I'm Juliet Mayhew. I'm from a little Jilaru town in far North Queensland, Australia. Like a true blue Aussie. Mareeba is like this beautiful little Place in the middle of the rainforest. And my dad was a missionary traveling doctor. So we spent, we went to places in the world where no one has any help. And I said, guess what?
Amanda Caroline
If you want a servant, you can get a servant.
Ben Mandelker
So here's some help. I spent my life traveling around the world's war zones helping no one at all. Just getting in the way of everyone else. Whether you're trying to fight or save someone, there's me in the middle, knocking, knocking people over. That's how I grew up schlepping around the foothills of the Himalayas.
Ronnie Karam
And to prove it, they show a picture of her with a little local girl, wherever she is while she's traveling. And she's like got paint on her face.
Juliet Mayhew
Oh yes, look at this little girl. You know, I remember this girl. I couldn't sit at her lunch table either. And she was poor, so it's amazing. My reputation really travels.
Amanda Caroline
I'll just say that, you know, I.
Ben Mandelker
Spent so much of my childhood going to these war torn countries and trying to help people and get them a better life. But then at 12, I just was sent off to boarding school and spent the rest of my time in the with the wealthy elites of London. So that was fun while it lasted.
Juliet Mayhew
My husband's Anthony, but everyone knows him, Ms. Tiggy. He grew up in London. In fact around the corner from where we live now because his family owns every square block, within miles, kilometers I should say. All right, so we met in church. He saw the blonde hair, probably the boobs, and thought, that one's for me. I mean, let's be honest, look at these things. Gorgeous, aren't we?
Ben Mandelker
Look at these two didgeridoos. You can't resist them, can you? And then it took about five years for me to finally say yes after he asked me out a couple of times. And then what about when you took me skiing, Tiggy? Remember that? Like hardcore skiing. Remember when we went skiing down in an old jelly mountain? Go skiing down the slopes. He's like, I was actually quite embarrassed. Yes, well, when you took me to. We took me on the Tata and I nearly died afterwards. She's saying, I have no idea what she, she's like, I'm in a real jewelry, I'm from a jewelry town in Mariba and we went down the Tata, like, what are you talking about?
Juliet Mayhew
I don't like skiing, do I? But when you gave me a big glass of champagne, the bottom I sure liked it, isn' right Tiggy? He's like, oh God, hilarious. Yes, it's Very English, isn't. He's charming. What's the word? What's the word for rich and charming?
Ronnie Karam
Aristocratic.
Juliet Mayhew
No, I didn't want to say aristocratic. I mean, but the family, his family is wonderfully positioned, let's just say.
Ben Mandelker
I love that they're a wonderfully positioned family. Well, you better get. You better plan something pretty amazing for our 20th year anniversary.
Amanda Caroline
Tiggy got two years to stop planning.
Juliet Mayhew
Yeah, we're probably not going to have.
Ronnie Karam
A tennis match, I'd guess.
Ben Mandelker
Look at.
Juliet Mayhew
The tennis skills on that one.
Ben Mandelker
So we have an interesting. He has a very interesting family. So on one side he's got William Wallace, Braveheart, the Scottish knight, a rebel, and then the other side he's got Benedict Arnold, a general who led the American Revolutionary War and then he defected, so he was looked at as a traitor. So in other words, he comes from a bunch of people who hate him, who hate England, and yet here we are profiting off of it.
Ronnie Karam
It's funny. Yeah, he's related to Braveheart and Benedict Arnold.
Juliet Mayhew
You know what's funny is when either one of them were pulled over, they both were drunk and made a lot of anti Semitic slurs. Lot and corner.
Ben Mandelker
Apparently we're supposed to own like half of Pennsylvania. In fact, when I saw mail of East Haunt town, I said, that's ours. That's ours right now. I'm calling it hbo. We belong. We own this show.
Juliet Mayhew
I sent Kate a little message because we're friends, of course, and I just sent her a little message and I said, you owe me.
Ronnie Karam
Funny.
Juliet Mayhew
She got it. She got it, I'm sure. So, you know, I haven't gone back and put my stake in it yet, you know, but I suppose on my side, I'm not quite a convict, but I do go back to 13th century King Edward, 1st of England. So, I mean, I think it married up, quite frankly.
Ben Mandelker
So they're still playing tennis.
Ronnie Karam
I love bragging about being married to Benedict Arnold's.
Ben Mandelker
I know during Benedict Arms, I, I wonder if it just doesn't like, it doesn't have the same thing in, in London, they, they probably don't care about Benedict Arnold at all. But like in America, it's like Benedict Arnold, but they're like, whatever is American, who cares? So Juliet is like, well, taking all. I have two of the most beautiful children on the fights of the planet. I'm so proud of them. Could you imagine if they said we have one of the most beautiful children and one who's just butt ugly. So I'll just get teary Thinking about them, we have Ophelia, Arabella, and we have Orlando. Jupiter, Patrick, what the hell?
Juliet Mayhew
I mean, obviously it's Juliet. Romeo and Juliet. Get it? Anthony and Cleopatra, Ophelia, Orlando. You see, we have Portia the dog. And we did have Hamlet the rabbit. So there's that. Or Shakespeare. You know, Hamlet's now in heaven, you know, slightly. But Portia's almost.
Ben Mandelker
Of course.
Juliet Mayhew
Yeah, but. But not quite. And bless her, she's quite an old Dane. I mean, none of them are dramatic at all. Clearly. Clearly.
Ben Mandelker
Now, why would you name the.
Amanda Caroline
Why would you name.
Ben Mandelker
Why would you not name the Dane? Hamlet. Hamlet. Hello. I'm just.
Amanda Caroline
Hello.
Ben Mandelker
We're just trying to help you out here. Get your Shakespeare right.
Ronnie Karam
What are you. Cheese. And chalking this up.
Juliet Mayhew
Come on.
Ronnie Karam
So now they keep playing tennis, and now we go to Nessie. So Nessie, I would say, definitely is the most homemakery and has a stick right up her butt, which I love.
Ben Mandelker
Yes.
Ronnie Karam
I think she's probably always going to be in a floral dress of some kind and always making a perfect fruit tray for her family.
Ben Mandelker
Yes. She's like, okay, make sure you give.
Amanda Caroline
Them a nice, generous water. Make sure they're not on top. Okay, get these together, daughter.
Ben Mandelker
So she's with her daughter Zaza, and she's sort of like bossing Zaza around, making her do something perfectly. And she's like, I'm Nessie.
Amanda Caroline
I'm a Londoner. I'm not a monster from Scotland, and.
Ben Mandelker
I was born and bred here. And then she sort of gives that look to the camera, like, yes, pause for applause. Yeah.
Juliet Mayhew
And she says, I live with my husband, Remy. He's an entrepreneur in the mining industry. We have three children, Coco, Zaza and Casper. And my little golden settler, Charlie Brown. Coco, Zaza, Casper, Coco.
Ben Mandelker
The children's names on this show. Coco, Zaza, Casper, Ophelia, Arabella. What's something. Jupiter. I mean, like, and then the other. There's still. There are some other ones that I just. It's amazing.
Ronnie Karam
They're definitely giving uha. They're definitely giving Utah a run for its many with the silly names.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah.
Juliet Mayhew
People could describe me as a trad wife. I'm here for my 100. I'm here 100 for my children. But I work full time, and also I look after my husband. Tradwife.
Amanda Caroline
Yeah, I'm just your classic trad wife.
Ben Mandelker
Who also works full time in finance. So she. She's like, making this amazing fruit platter.
Amanda Caroline
And she goes, we live in Chelsea. Chelsea is definitely One of the best.
Ben Mandelker
Neighborhoods to live in in London.
Amanda Caroline
Look. Look at all this footage of brands that are here.
Ben Mandelker
There's Burberry, which they keep on showing.
Amanda Caroline
And I mean, houses can go anywhere up to 85 million. But we have also a country pile in the Cotswolds. We spend weekends. It's just an ideal haven away from the chaos of London.
Ronnie Karam
So then, yeah, we see this mansion that they have in the Cotswolds. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my God. They got some money on this show. Damn this.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, this cast has money. And then this child is like, mommy, the floor's lava.
Amanda Caroline
And that's why I'm on a blanket. She's like, that's very lovely, but the floor is actually not lava.
Ben Mandelker
Don't be an imbecile.
Amanda Caroline
You're supposed to get good grades, get to a good university.
Ben Mandelker
University. Get on the floor and off. Off the blanket.
Juliet Mayhew
Well, unfortunately for you, darling, lava melts blankets and you are now a pile of goo. Burning goo. So congratulations, you've died on the living room floor. Mommy, stop your crying. My parents came to London for different reasons from different countries. My mother came here from Singapore, my dad from Egypt. I would describe my mother as a tiger mom and some of that may have run off on me. I'm going to give us a nice break from the tiger moms being horrible storyline into tiger moms are heroes. And the reason we slap our children on the wrist is because they're little idiots and we don't want them to die young. Thank you.
Amanda Caroline
Some may call me a tiger mom, but, you know, maybe that's. That might be an over exaggeration. Get off with a blanket and step on the lava.
Ben Mandelker
Be a real man.
Amanda Caroline
I know you're nine, but here's the.
Ben Mandelker
Day that you grow up.
Juliet Mayhew
I would describe my family as high achieve as Cocos and academics. She's incredibly clever for someone named after chocolate. And I would not be surprised if she or Casper, who is named after my favorite mattress, ends up as prime minister with gearing them up to give 110% and going full force.
Ronnie Karam
And then it shows her the little girl who's studying. And then it says Casper. And then it has an arrow pointing to him as he's like dancing around with a blanket on his head.
Juliet Mayhew
Casper could be prime minister.
Ronnie Karam
It's like, ding. That's Casper.
Ben Mandelker
Yep, that's. That's the one.
Amanda Caroline
Okay. All right. Okay. It's really an amazing opportunity to be on a scholar program at one of the best boarding schools in the country. So, yeah, Everyone wants to do better for their kids. And my career aspirations at university was to get out and make as much money as possible. And the industry that you can do that in is finance. So that's why I set my sights and I did it. I worked in investment banking on the trading floor and then I worked at an asset management company, specifically in the last job that I was in. And I just decided that I'm not enjoying this anymore. And we were in a very comfortable position, let's say. So I made the transition to banking, to baking, to rearing stupid children who think the floor is actually lava.
Ronnie Karam
So they're talking about her busy week. She's got so many cake orders. You guys, do you remember Amanda?
Juliet Mayhew
Because she asked me to make a cake for her. It's International Women's Day and I'm the founder and CEO of the Chelsea Cake Company and I'm a published author as well. So basically I actually cook books, which aren't very delicious, but it does make a statement and I'm rich, so I can do whatever I'd like.
Amanda Caroline
I found. I founded the company over 12 years ago and I've made cakes for the who's who of London, Hollywood, A Listers, celebrities, Ekinsu, people of this of the same tier and accord. And I was asked to make the Queen's 90th birthday cake. And it's basically anyone who's anyone in.
Ben Mandelker
London has tried one of my cakes.
Amanda Caroline
For instance, here's a photo of the.
Ben Mandelker
Queen's 90th birthday cake.
Amanda Caroline
It's a square, a big square cake.
Ben Mandelker
So I hope she enjoyed that square cake.
Juliet Mayhew
She wanted it to look like it could come from the American grocery store. So that's what I did. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture without her face pushed down into the cake. But that was when there was a lot of family strife, so it wasn't a very fun birthday party for her. But yes, here's the cake's face in.
Ronnie Karam
One of my cakes.
Amanda Caroline
It was awkward when Liz Truss came.
Ben Mandelker
Bouncing out of the cake and said.
Amanda Caroline
Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. We were all appalled, quite frankly.
Ronnie Karam
So he's like, why are you making.
Juliet Mayhew
Such a fruit tray, darling? I mean, it's a huge fruit tray. She's like, have you seen how much watermelon our children eat? By the way, never be the kind of mother who doesn't force your children to deal with watermelon and seeds. It builds strength.
Ronnie Karam
I was like, geez, they sell seedless watermelons over there, don't they? It's a lot of seeds. You're just begging Casper to spit those seeds at his sister's face.
Ben Mandelker
It was wild because she was just talking, having a normal scene, and then out of nowhere, there was just like an enormous canoe of watermelon in front of her. I was like, where did that thing come from? Can you even get big watermelons like that in Britain? I was like, did she import that from somewhere? I was shocked.
Juliet Mayhew
Congratulations, you've reached the end of part one of a two part recap for part two. Go look for the recap that says part two.

Episode #2995 — RHOLondon Part 1: Dental Damned
Date: September 10, 2025
Hosts: Ben Mandelker & Ronnie Karam
Episode Theme:
A raucous and hilarious deep dive into the premiere of The Real Housewives of London (RHOLondon), the newest international addition to the Housewives franchise. Ben and Ronnie (along with banter from Amanda Caroline and Juliet Mayhew) celebrate, lampoon, and dissect the UK’s spin on wealth, status, and shade — British style. The episode is packed with scene-by-scene recaps, sharp observations on casting, jaw-dropping taglines, and classic “Crappens” humor.
Timestamp: 03:26 – 05:41
Initial Reluctance to Cover RHOLondon: The hosts confess their hesitancy due to audience access (“you need a VPN!”), then gleefully ignore those concerns because “We can do whatever we want. We mock because we love.”
“Fuck it, we're Watch What Crappens. We can do whatever we want.” — Ben (04:59)
Early Praise:
"I've only watched one episode. I love it." — Ben (05:59)
“This needs to be on Bravo or Peacock, like, whatever, get this to America.” — Ben (06:09)
London vs. Dubai:
“Dubai is posh, but London is posh with a capital P. That’s where posh is from.” — Ben (06:28)
Timestamp: 06:45 – 08:48
Casting Choices & Returnees: The show borrows elements (and actual cast members like Juliet Angus) from Ladies of London but wisely delays American Juliet’s debut, letting the UK contingent establish “aspirational” credentials.
Favoring the New Cast:
“These ladies are actually really … cast is really good. They're all crazy.” — Ronnie (09:18)
"They're all older, which I really liked." — Ronnie (09:21)
Camp Classic Moments:
Timestamp: 11:22 – 15:26
“I would love it if just, like, someone kept saying, London’s so pretty.” — Ben (11:54)
"What are you saying, you pea brain, you stupid idiot?" — Amanda (15:37)
Timestamp: 15:37 – 24:29
“I look like a model, but I think like a CEO.” — Amanda (18:50)
“...including the other guy from Wham. Have I mentioned him? Wham.” — Juliet (16:13)
“I've lived in every time zone. And I'm still ahead of you.” (19:00)
“Life's a stage, darling, and I never miss my queue.” (22:25)
"They say you can't have your cake and eat it too. I say, watch me." — Nessie (19:30)
“...except my name, which is Karen. Pretty common name. But otherwise Pretty common.” — Ronnie (24:03)
“As a true Londoner, I don't just sip the tea, I spill it.” — Panthea (24:12)
Timestamp: 24:29 – 32:37
Amanda’s Life: Driven through posh neighborhoods, brags about starting a skincare company “since 2022” (27:19), and handing her dog Monty True Madness off to the staff with near-contempt.
“...she just gives the servant Monty like, it's a hat.” — Ben (31:41)
Event Hosting:
“Let’s have a sorting hat... servant or caviar eater?” — Amanda, mocking her own exclusivity (28:13)
Timestamp: 32:37 – 41:00
Timestamp: 49:19 – 62:00
Faux Aristocracy: Panthea is exhilarated by being “mistress” of the solicitors, Amanda names various society parties, and Juliet relishes tenuous links to historical figures like Benedict Arnold and William Wallace.
Rapid-Fire Absurdity: Both hosts and cast run through a bonkers roll call of children’s and pets’ names:
Tiger Moms, Watermelon Canoes, Cake Company:
“Never be the kind of mother who doesn't force your children to deal with watermelon and seeds. It builds strength.” — Nessie (63:24)
Cultural Contrasts: Nessie’s “trad wife” routine and high-achieving “scholar” kids are juxtaposed with casual fruit platters the size of small cars.
Watch What Crappens’s recap of RHOLondon Part 1 is side-splitting, sharply observed, and perfectly structured for anyone who craves a Housewives fix — whether or not you can find a VPN. The first episode of RHOLondon is already being dubbed a classic, and Ben, Ronnie, Amanda, and their slew of alter-egos ensure you don’t miss a beat, from the etiquette faux-pas to the offbeat pet names.
To be continued in Part 2...
