Gretchen Rossi
Who cares what happens when there's so much that happens?
Brandi Glanville
Well, hello and welcome to Watch what Crappens. This is is part two of a two part recap. If you're like, hey, wait a minute, I didn't hear part one, guys. It's because we put out a lot of recaps. Go back and listen to part one. Okay? It's before this one. Bye. Enjoy the show.
Gretchen Rossi
So they arrive at the Park Central Hotel, which that's the hotel that I stayed at. I felt so like I felt retroactively so glamorous you know, being in a Housewives hotel. But of course, I did not have as nice of rooms as they had. But I definitely was, like, acting like I had achieved something in life. I was like, oh, my God, I was in the same hotel as the Real Housewives. Like, I. I think I deserve something now. And so they get there and it's all sorts of funny stuff with, you know, the bike. The bikes running them over and everything. And Gina's like, oh, my God, I need like, one of those, like, toddler backpacks and, like, the leashes for Shannon just so she doesn't get, like, run over. Oh, my God.
Brandi Glanville
We need to put a bell on Shannon.
Gretchen Rossi
I said, thank you. Got to work on that timing a little bit. Alfredo.
Brandi Glanville
I need one of the 12. Yeah, I. Ben already said that. Okay. Do you want some champies? It's called champs. Thank you. To Amsterdam. Drink to Jewel.
Gretchen Rossi
So they are getting ready. Shannon is taking a band aid off her toe and she's fixating.
Brandi Glanville
Wow. Nope. And.
Gretchen Rossi
They are arriving in the. In the lobby. And then I believe. So Jen is wearing lace pants. I believe this is where Heather. Not Heather, Emily. Debuts her God awful dress. That's like.
Brandi Glanville
It looks like a bomb went off in her crotch. Like, what are they. What are they trying. What is it supposed to represent? Because it looks like a supernova exploding out of her crotch.
Gretchen Rossi
It was awful. I hated everything about it. It was.
Brandi Glanville
All of them looked crazy. Most of them looked crazy. I know that Amsterdam's like, wow, Amsterdam you can do. You know, you can smoke weed and you. There's like the red light district, but it's like the morning. You know what I mean?
Gretchen Rossi
Like, it's.
Brandi Glanville
You're going to brunch. You know what I mean?
Gretchen Rossi
I don't. This is not a dress that looks good in any country. Like, this is. Doesn't matter what country you're in. This is a terrible dress. It's like a dress for the most part, but it has these cutouts all around her legs that like, radiate out from. From her crotch. It's not even that it radiates out from her crotch. It's more just like the cutouts look ridiculous. And she's walking around and I'm like, emily, if you do get another season, please fire your stylists. Please. They have been doing you so dirty this season. You think she has a stylist? Well, fire your.
Brandi Glanville
Those are some straight up Orange county vibes there. I don't think there's a stylist.
Gretchen Rossi
I really do For a lady who was, like, sobbing about wearing a very nice ensemble at Heather's event. Like.
Brandi Glanville
I can tell you this. Susan Bender would never. Susan Bender would be.
Gretchen Rossi
Please, Susan Bender, can you please intervene? Anything.
Brandi Glanville
Susan Bender sitting at home completely. What do you call it? Vindicated, this.
Gretchen Rossi
She doesn't cry over.
Brandi Glanville
Yeah, she's in Benders at home. Like, this is why she got those jeans. This is why.
Gretchen Rossi
This is why.
Brandi Glanville
So Shannon's limping around and she's like, oh, does anyone want to see what my foot looks like? Is it infected? Is it infected? Someone, please. Heather's like, yes, it's infected. You're dying.
Gretchen Rossi
So then they all go out and bikes are going by, and she's like. And Gina's like, oh, my God, Shannon.
Brandi Glanville
Like, watch out for the boys. That's funny.
Gretchen Rossi
So Gina's saying that she's a. She's like, I'm a professional street crosser. It's very different from a street walker. I'm so funny.
Brandi Glanville
So now they go to a boat, and the guy's kind of hot. I'm surprised that no one was like, oh, Shannon's here. Please, please have sex with Shannon, please. And he's like, welcome aboard. Beautiful, sunny weather in Amsterdam, which is quite special. We're going to see nice areas. If you have questions, please ring a bell. Tamara's like, don't tell Heather that. She'll ring a bitch. She'll wing it.
Gretchen Rossi
Oh, you get caviar service on here if you ring the bell? No.
Brandi Glanville
So that's so cute that you have a community bell. I brought my own. I've got one in my purse.
Gretchen Rossi
Oh, my God. Look down the canal.
Brandi Glanville
Hi.
Gretchen Rossi
Oh, my God. What a small world.
Brandi Glanville
I can't believe.
Gretchen Rossi
I think that's. Is that John Jansen's son out there? Hello. Oh, you know what? You know what? It was just a plastic bag. Someone littered. I apologize.
Brandi Glanville
I feel like I'm in a flipping fairy tale. What's the name of this canal? Oh, the Single Canal. That's right. It's for single people. Shannon, it's your canal. Could you make a left up at Dying Alone Canal? Shannon Day.
Gretchen Rossi
Sir, I have a request. Can we go to the Herregracht? Yes. Oh, what's that? The wealthiest canal in all of Amsterdam. That's so funny. My parents used to live there. Can we drive by?
Brandi Glanville
Heather, do you know what you would like to spread your dad's ashes? Like, do. Do you have them on you? She's like, no, they're at the hotel, unfortunately, we have to do this again, and this time you see how emotional I can be.
Gretchen Rossi
So this wasn't your spreading the ashes scene. This is just you bragging about where you used to live scene. Absolutely, yes.
Brandi Glanville
We're location scouting. This is act one.
Gretchen Rossi
This is called a rehearsal. Okay? Everyone's called a tech. Tech rehearsal. Okay, ladies, does anybody ever go swimming in the canals? Does anyone ever go swimming in the canals? Just was wondering if anyone does that, because I. Maybe I should bring my swim cap out and we could do a wacky scene. Anyway. Anyone. Does anyone want that?
Brandi Glanville
I have an extremely flattering T shirt with a bikini drawed over it that Tamara gave me. If anyone would like me to pull that out.
Gretchen Rossi
Has my daughter ever gotten high at a rave and gone swimming in these canals? And if that does happen, would you tell me?
Brandi Glanville
I just wonder if they paddle board here, that's all.
Gretchen Rossi
Not Newport Beach. Not everywhere in the world is obsessed with paddle boarding as Newport beaches.
Brandi Glanville
Ladies, we're almost at the house, and it's next to the Seven Bridges Canal. It's called that because there are bridges, which you can see over there. And Heather's like, do you see the black door? Do you see the black door? Oh, my God. It still says, heather, go back to your house. You're not welcome here. Me and your mom are trying to retire in peace. That is so cute. That is so cute.
Gretchen Rossi
I. I only see a sign that says Alfredo entrance in the rear. Oh, well, that's there as well.
Brandi Glanville
Yes. Alfredo was inherited.
Gretchen Rossi
If you. If you look under the bridge, you see there's a small grate, and for Alfredo to get into the house, he has to jump into the canal, open the grate, and swim in through the sewer system.
Brandi Glanville
So she is talking about her parents more, and she said her dad was finally happy once he retired in Amsterdam, mostly because, you know, he felt freer.
Gretchen Rossi
Gosh, I. I can't believe that he would move from Chappaqua, New York, to Amsterdam and a global city that's, like, adorable and full of these beautiful canals, and he would somehow be happier.
Brandi Glanville
Crazy.
Gretchen Rossi
What a. What a strange revelation. I got the sense that now that he lived in this major European city with beautiful people and excellent food and scenic views, that he was actually happy. Weird.
Brandi Glanville
So they see some shirtless boaters go by, and Gina's like, oh, they're shirtless. We must be in the red light district. Are they men? Yes, they're men. Did they sound like ladies? Shannon's just like, oh, shirtless. Are those men? Aren't they? Aren't they. It's been a while. Okay. Are you men? Do any of you know John Jansen's son? I'm a boat person.
Gretchen Rossi
I have a question. Hello. When we were at the airport, you guys were at one of those little shops there, like a. Build an Alfredo. Build a bear.
Brandi Glanville
Oh.
Gretchen Rossi
Oh, I thought you had. That's okay. That makes much more sense. You don't actually build a servant there. I was like, how do you build a servant? I thought you normally have to hire them.
Brandi Glanville
I told my kids to that the other day. You know why? Because Luke's therapist suggested making a bear, and then I did the voice. So when I'm not home, he can pretend that I'm the bear.
Gretchen Rossi
So that way, when you're not home, Luke can be like, my crazy mom thinks that I'm gonna talk to this bear, and it's her. Like, why are you doing this to your son?
Brandi Glanville
Just leave your fucking son alone. What does your son have that he needs to talk to? A be pretend it's you. Emily, just stop with this. I can't.
Gretchen Rossi
Pretty sure Luke knows the difference between build a bear and really trying to.
Brandi Glanville
Sell whatever it is she's trying to sell.
Gretchen Rossi
She's ridiculous. Tamara goes, oh, that's smart. Yeah. The best thing about having an actual diagnosis of Luke is that the diagnosis then comes the recommendation of treatment plan. And that treatment plan is to fool your child with a teddy bear.
Brandi Glanville
So make your child think that their mother is a teddy bear.
Gretchen Rossi
So Tama's like, by the way, I Google things to do in Amsterdam, and I have a little activity that we could probably do. You guys are gonna go to a place and get this, like, penis, and.
Brandi Glanville
You'Re gonna betazzle the penis. Are you kidding? I can still find real penises. Joe, I need to list them for you. Earl, Phil, that.
Gretchen Rossi
That boat of men that just passed.
Brandi Glanville
By, I think they were men. Now, listen, I can find real penises. Now, generally, they stay behind zippers, but still. Take me, take me. And Emily's like, gretchen, are you gonna partake in some weed? Let's smoke some. She's like, I don't think I would partake in that.
Gretchen Rossi
Oh, well, that's too bad. So Emily's like, shannon, let me ask you a question, because you always talk about your boundaries. Do you think Tamra was being shady when she was asking about your dad?
Brandi Glanville
Fuck's sake. God, enough. Emily. Jesus Christ. Emily's, you know, have the bear ask it. Have the fucking bear ask it.
Gretchen Rossi
I know.
Brandi Glanville
So Gina's like, oh, my God. Just get right in there, I guess. I had some champagne, and the producers told me that this is the most boring trip we've had so far. So. Well, let's try and cook people.
Gretchen Rossi
Apparently, I've got to ask this. So let's cut away from the beauty of Amsterdam to Temecula. We see a flashback.
Brandi Glanville
Like, I've never felt like I've had such a small penis until this, but thanks.
Gretchen Rossi
Was actually looking so good this season. And then they had to, like, cut away from it. Cut away from Amsterdam. But we get the flashback of Tamara being like, didn't you say that your dad had a drinking problem? And then we see, like, two hours earlier in Amsterdam, Emily was saying, it just seems to me like she was just trying to involve herself in the conversation about someone. I was like, so you think Shannon is blowing it out of proportion? Yes. So now.
Brandi Glanville
Well, I do think it was a dig. I'm extremely bored with this fight, as is the audience, but if you want to go back there, I feel like it was a dig. Well, I feel like her statement was trying to be compassionate. Okay, can I ask you a question? When she says she's sorry about bringing up your dad, are you able to forgive? She's like, no.
Gretchen Rossi
I don't know. So Gretchen's like, anytime I get involved in any conversation that involves cameras, somehow I'm accused of being aggressive, being this, being that. So I'm definitely wanting to just sit this one out. I'm like, oh, great. Thank you for telling us that. But no one asked you your opinion on any of this, just so you know.
Brandi Glanville
So Tamara's like, well, I can apologize, and you can't. You can't move forward, Shannon. She goes, you know what? I've never called you the C word 18 times at a dinner table. Okay? She goes, okay, comment, Comment. Are you a cut fitness? Are you a cut fitness? Are you.
Gretchen Rossi
Don't go back. Don't go back. Don't go back. Tamara, don't go back. I'm asking you. Don't put. Okay, don't pull your with me. It's like, well, I'm. I'm not talking to you. Like, so.
Brandi Glanville
God, shut up.
Gretchen Rossi
I'm just saying, can we try to decipher sometimes when she is trying? And Heather's like, can you highlight when you want to be an. That would be helpful.
Brandi Glanville
I'm just joking. Yeah, well, I'll highlight it with yellow marketing. Everybody's happy, happy day. Stupid. Thank you.
Gretchen Rossi
Okay, hey, not for Tamara. Not for Tamara's jokes.
Brandi Glanville
Okay? Stick a pin in it. Gina, are we gonna get a blunt right? She goes, oh, my God, I love that Heather.
Gretchen Rossi
So they get off the boat. Like, they. There was this. Basically, they attempted to have an iconic fight on a boat, but. But instead, nothing got off the ground.
Brandi Glanville
And Emily's trying to, like, reheat old Pop Tarts. Like, it's just. It's over. Just move on, do something else.
Gretchen Rossi
And on top of that, like, she started it at the end of the boat trip. Like, we all know if you're going to be touring the canals and you're going to be having a fight, you do it when you're, like, stuck in the middle of the canal and then you're fighting and people pass by and they're staring at you. You don't do it. Once you dock and you're back at land. Where's your timing? Have you not watched Real Housewives of Miami?
Brandi Glanville
Yeah. People keep saying, you know, Emily's on the show because she move. Moves things along. And, like, yes, she's always stirring the pot, but you need the housewife that does that. No, you need somebody that, like, keeps it interesting, not bring up the same stale fights over and over 15 episodes. She's bad at it. Like, she may be stirring the pot, but it's a pot full of. She's. It's a bad pot. Get a better pot.
Gretchen Rossi
Yeah, yeah. It's like, I. I understand that nothing's happening on the trip so far, and Emily is like, hey, let's. Let's have a scene. Let's do this. But like you said, there's, like, there's no art to it, and there's nothing. Nothing. It's like she's bringing up something that's not, like, at the top of our minds.
Brandi Glanville
And she's also pimping other people out to do it. Like, she's trying to make everybody else do the work at all the time. She's not coming up with something that she's got an issue with or she's got a problem with. She's trying to make other people fight so she doesn't have to do anything. And it's just. She's lazy.
Gretchen Rossi
The way you do it. The way you do it is you do it more artfully. I think you say, like, Heather, that was so meaningful what you shared about your dad. Shannon, you know, how is your relationship with your dad these days? Because I heard that it's a bit fraught. I know it was a tough childhood. And she's like, well, I. I never said that. Oh, well, I Heard from Tamara. You know, it's like you sort of do it that way instead of like, hey, remember when you guys had a fight? Are you guys still angry at each other? Do you want to be angry again? It's like, could you, like, try. Just try a little finesse?
Brandi Glanville
Yeah. Make an effort here. You're lazy is what I'm saying. So now they get off the boat and someone, One of guys passes and he's like, welcome to Amsterdam, baby. And Heather's like, thank to Jewel. Thank. Thank Jewel. Danka. Jewel. Danka. Jewel is Jewel from here. Love her. Love her.
Gretchen Rossi
Jabant Anna Janan Manan. Oh, what does that mean? It means you're hired. He's. He can be. He can be our butler now. Jean's like, well, wow. They really think that we are the ones for hire, actually. Well, we kind of look like it. And this is our madam over here. Look at Shannon, right? Oh, Shannon, do you have a vibrator? Oh, we're wacky.
Brandi Glanville
It's like, no, I don't want a vibrator. I. I don't use a vibrator. I sit on top of the washing machine.
Gretchen Rossi
Let's go.
Brandi Glanville
I do it old school. And Jen's like, we've passed, like, 10 stores with vibrators.
Gretchen Rossi
Wow.
Brandi Glanville
Huge place for vibrators here.
Gretchen Rossi
Well, you know, this is a funny story. In Love Hotel, Luanne got pulled over by customs and they opened it up and you know what they we found in her bag? A vibrator. Yeah. And she goes, oh. I said to customs, it's. It's un vibrator. It was a great story. She's told it about five times, but I was like, I want to get my. Let me give it a try as well.
Brandi Glanville
So now they go in and they get drinks and they order some muffins and cupcakes, like some space cakes and stuff. And so they. Shannon's like, this is 33 milligrams. And she was like, you can't eat that whole thing. You'll be licking the floor. Just take a bite. You can eat an eighth. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappin's commercial.
Gretchen Rossi
As the weather cools, I'm swapping in the pieces that actually get the job done. Warm, durable, and built to last. And Quint delivers every time with wardrobe staples that'll carry you through the season.
Brandi Glanville
Quince has the fall staples you'll actually want to wear on repeat, like 100% Mongolian cashmere from just 60 bucks. Classic fit, denim and real leather. And wool outerwear that looks sharp and holds up.
Gretchen Rossi
A lot of people have been asking me about my quince Mongolian cashmere and I have to say it's soft and it's delicious. And to complete the look, I actually went and I got a watch band, a titanium watch band. So that way my little watch looks a lot more chic than when I wear the exercise band that came with it. So really it's like a one stop shop for me for looking chic for fall.
Brandi Glanville
Oh, so fancy. Yes. I got a cashmere hoodie from there and I look pretty amazing in it. Layer up this fall with pieces that feel good as they look. Go to quince.com crappens for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns. Now available in Canada too. That's Q-U-I-N c e.comcrabbins free shipping and 365 day returns. Quints.comcrabbins so now is the time where they start eating. The weed is crazy. Ladies.
Gretchen Rossi
I feel so comfortable here because I love getting stoned. So come on girls, let's have some grass. Come on, we're fun. Some, some, some, some of the weed. Let's have a doobie, a joint if you will.
Brandi Glanville
Hey, would anyone like to meet my new friend Mary Jane? We are cool moms, ladies. So Emily is looking under, looking at a table with a cloth covering everything. She's like, what? What's under this? I'm scared. And Lenny's like, ha. The lady at the shop is like, you make your own dick. Welcome. And so we see all these ceramic wieners around and Emily's like, oh wait, we make our own dicks. Oh well, jeez. This looks Shane like his dick. No, actually like Shane just put, put a vacuum in his hand. It's basically Shane.
Gretchen Rossi
It's kind of a life size replica. I really enjoyed Lenny. I felt like we deserved more time with her. She sort of looked like a marionette version of herself. Like if someone said let's make a marionette of Lenny, they would just make Lenny, you know. And she had like little flowers in her hair and everything. And she's like, yeah, this is penises who make penises. So they.
Brandi Glanville
And so she's like, so you make your own dick? She goes, yeah, you make a whole. And Jen's like, do you know this person? And like, is this person based on someone that you know? She goes, yeah. She's like, is it, is it your husband? She goes, no. Is it your boyfriend? No. Did you have fun with the stick. She goes, of course.
Gretchen Rossi
And Emily's like, if you rub it, you get good luck. And she starts rubbing it, and then. Then. But she's rubbing in this weird way where she's taking her. Her palms and sort of like sliding them upwards repeatedly. And Jen's like, is that how you rub it? Is that how you give a hand job?
Brandi Glanville
Okay, so what are we doing? Are we just decorating this? We're decorating.
Gretchen Rossi
Oh, wow. Look at you. That was almost as funny as the time that Ryan came home and had splattered paint all over our sofa and said it was art.
Brandi Glanville
So.
Gretchen Rossi
So.
Brandi Glanville
So now they're talking about vaginas, and we see a flashback to saying her vagina doesn't work and how she had surgery so she would take any position because it's literally just the tip right now. So Jen's like, everything's better with my vagina. Thank you so much for asking. Thank you so much, Emily.
Gretchen Rossi
Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Yeah, but that doesn't mess with sensitivity and stuff, because you got everything cut off. Well, maybe not. I don't know. And Jen said, I did everything.
Brandi Glanville
I did the exterior, the interior, the pelvic floor. There's CarPlay. I have CarPlay now. I can watch Netflix on this thing. So it's great.
Gretchen Rossi
I think I'm really nervous that he would leave me because he couldn't insert his dick into my vagina. But everything's okay. Turns out, everything's okay.
Brandi Glanville
Oh, wow.
Gretchen Rossi
Yeah. Because you were, like, having problems with it, right? She's like, no. Yeah. And I couldn't. It's just a tip. How much longer do we have to talk about this? I don't think anyone in the audience really cares.
Brandi Glanville
Emily is bringing up other storylines nobody cares about even more. Can we give Emily another storyline to talk about? That would be great. So then back at the weed shop, Gina's like, oh, my God, Shannon, how do you feel after you had some weed in the cupcake? Well, the thing is, my friendship is exhausting, and I have no interest in getting closer to Tamara at all.
Gretchen Rossi
But here's the question. So boundaries are an issue for you? Because suddenly we started saying that this episode. And you always talk about that part. But what keeps baffling me, which I don't understand, is the gen of it all, because Jen is still friends with Alexis.
Brandi Glanville
Who is Jen again?
Gretchen Rossi
Our castmate that you suddenly became decided that you cared about a lot and threw her a party. Oh.
Brandi Glanville
With the clear.
Gretchen Rossi
The clear glassware that I didn't order. I remember I got the glasses, but I'm still having a little bit of a. So Janish is she. She was a redhead, right? In our group. No, I don't know who. She's the Asian lady. No, she's gone. That one's gone. I'm afraid I don't understand Heather.
Brandi Glanville
So Heather. Heather's doing it the right way. She's like, oh, you want to talk about boundaries? And what about Jen still being friends with Alexis? There's something new. So. Okay, thank you. So then we go back to the penis decorating and Emily's doing the same thing. Like, this isn't planned at all. I love this. It's like, I can't tell you, you guys totally didn't sit and talk about how you're going to throw this shit at the wall in this episode. So cut to Emily going, you're friends with Alexis, right? And she's like, well, I don't really talk to Alexis all that much, but I do genuinely like Alexis.
Gretchen Rossi
Are you going to their wedding badge? Well, I mean, she sent me a save the date and I said, I sent her back. I saved the. Thank you so much. And. But last time I was with Shannon, she asked me not to go. And they're like, you see a flashback where Jen says that she got saved the date and Shang goes, oh, are you going to go to that wedding of a slut? And an. Because that would not be a kind look for you, Jan. Well, probably not.
Brandi Glanville
Shannon, because I know what it would do to us. I know. So Shannon did not ask you not to go, at least according to this. So then at the weed shop, Shannon's like, well, she said she gotta save the date, but she is not going to a wedding. She will not do it.
Gretchen Rossi
Well, I think Tamara told me they were still speaking, though, at this point, Heather has brought out her claw hands for no good reason. I think she's like, they're being underutilized this season. I need to get the claw hands out.
Brandi Glanville
Well, you don't want to dictate to people, no pun intended. You don't want to dictate to people who they can and can't be friends with. But those affect. Those choices affect how close I'm going. Going to get to this Jen person, whoever she may be. And I don't want to spend time with you thinking, oh, when's the last time you saw Alexis? And I don't want to think about John, and I don't want to think. I'm sorry, what's your Name again, Sorry. Masking my memory.
Gretchen Rossi
So back to the penis shop. Emily's like, it's just really not fair for you have to cut off a friendship. Do you know what I mean? That's crazy that you would have to cut off a friendship. Oh, by the way, I just had a flashback to me earlier this season saying I can't be friends with someone who's friends with Katie. God, remember that? That was so fun.
Brandi Glanville
Remember how I told Tamara if she went to lunch with Katie, we were done? Yeah, that was terrible. But can I ask you a question?
Gretchen Rossi
Oh, yeah, last episode.
Brandi Glanville
So she's like, so your bridal thing, you weren't really into that, huh? You didn't really appreciate the bridal thing. She's like, well, I mean, what am I supposed to feel? I mean, I appreciate it, but that's just not my thing. Okay, then let me ask you. So now I've got that you hate Shannon and you hate that she threw you a bridal shower. Okay, so let me ask you, if it wasn't something that you particularly wanted, then why do you feel like Shannon did it for you? Was it for you or was it just for herself? So that I can say later at dinner that Shannon only had this party for herself and not for you. What?
Gretchen Rossi
Like what is, what is Emily on?
Brandi Glanville
It's just. So Shannon threw a piece so ham handed. It's so tired. It's just exhausting. Emily, start your own fucking fight. You're ridiculous. You're literally making something out of nothing in such an obvious boring way. My God.
Gretchen Rossi
First of all, everyone who throws a party for anyone else on any of these shows is obviously doing it for themselves to boost their image. To be like, I did this for you. So there's that first and foremost. Second of all, like, the producers probably said, shannon, can you throw, can you throw Jen a party so we can announce we're desperate.
Brandi Glanville
We have to make this season four more episodes. Even though there's absolutely nothing going on. Who's going to have the next party? Just do it for Jen.
Gretchen Rossi
Yeah. And like Emily trying to turn this into a thing, which, like, at, at worst, Shan, it was an overstep. Jen didn't necessarily want it, but Shannon decided to throw it anyway. Like, it's a nice. It was a night, a perfectly nice thing. Is it self serving? Why don't you wait for it to be self serving before you predict that it's self serving? Because. Right, just like enjoy it for what it is.
Brandi Glanville
Like, she's taking. She doesn't. She's not only bad at it and a boring person and a boring storyline creator. She's mean. You know, she's taking somebody that somebody. She's taking something that somebody was nice. Somebody did something nice for Jen. Jen wasn't doing anything for herself. She feels like a scarlet letter, blah, blah, blah. So Shannon's like, well, she deserves this, so I'm gonna do something nice for her. And now Emily's trying to take that and like make this girl not like her because she threw her a party. It's just mean spirited. She's an asshole.
Gretchen Rossi
Yeah. I mean, do I think that Shannon the. There may have been an element where Shannon is trying to kind of court an ally in her ongoing war with Tamara? Of course. But like, truth be told, until, until she shows otherwise. Like at the end of the day, she still, she got nothing for nothing, truly, with that glassware. Am I telling? Am I right? But, but it's, it's ultimately still a nice thing that she did and just like let it be a nice thing. Like, Emily, you can't like sit there at the party that you are now maligning. You can't sit there at the party, be like, isn't this nice that we all are getting along? And then you're gonna go afterwards and be like, well, that party was like, it was an insincere party. Just let it be a party. And if you like, if Shannon later on throws it in Jen's face, then call Shannon out for then. But like, don't try to precipitate a rift or create a rift, you know, on spec, you know, this stupid.
Brandi Glanville
So Tamara's like, yeah, she's definitely did it for herself. Jen's like, no, she didn't do it for herself. Yeah, well, I know what Shannon's doing. She wants everybody to know what a great French. Yeah.
Gretchen Rossi
So now we go to the penis back to the penis shop and Jen is saying like, it's the closest she's ever been with Shannon. And Tamara's like, well, does that, does that make you wonder? Don't you ever wonder? Don't you ever wonder why you're suddenly so close with her? Tamara. Tamara's acting like she didn't. Doesn't suddenly just befriend these people out of nowhere and is like, like, I mean, how about Tamara befriending Joe and Katie and Alexis, a person who's going.
Brandi Glanville
To Alexis's wedding and being in all her bridal shower pictures. Shut off Tamara.
Gretchen Rossi
Like you, you recruit your allies too.
Brandi Glanville
Yeah. So she's like, yeah, she's holding on to it because she wants to get back at me. That's the same reason she's doing it with Gretchen. So we go back to the other. The weed shop, and Heather's like, so, how's your space cake going? And Shannon's like, well, I shouldn't put a timer on. I mean, 40 minutes to an hour, he said, so I don't know. When am I going to be my already stone?
Gretchen Rossi
Oh, my God. You were, like, the funniest human I ever saw. Oh, my God, look at her. She is high on hashish. Look at that. She's the ganja. She has lots of ganja in her system. Wow.
Brandi Glanville
So Heather passes a joint to Gretchen. She's like, I can't do it. By the way, I got a question for you. Sincerely, I don't know if there's any moving forward with Tamara, and I do see that. And Gina's like, yeah. And Heather's like, well, I think when you left the Western party, everyone was very upset about you going with Slade and what happened in the aftermath.
Gretchen Rossi
But you understand why we went with Slade. No, I don't. I don't understand. Maybe that's just the chronic talking, but I don't understand why you would do that.
Brandi Glanville
We didn't come in, like, aggressive. She's like, listen, other people that were there don't agree with that. Now, puff, puff, give daddy.
Gretchen Rossi
Okay, here's the thing. Let's have. Let's have a flashback, but one that's fueled by reefer. And so we see. Well, actually, we don't have a flashback. We just go to Lenny's. Sorry. So Emily is like, by the way, Gretchen, walking with Slade. Like, that's crazy. Like, yeah. Why would he just, like, want to jump in? Yeah, he loves to jump in. It's so weird. Yeah, I feel like he's always been like that. He just loves to get right on in there with Gretchers.
Brandi Glanville
Yeah, I'm back at the weed shop. In my opinion, you've, like, reduced yourself to a place that you should not go. Unfortunately, my camera. I just learned that fighting fire with fire is the best way to handle that. That's what the Bible says. Fight fire with fire. Turn the other cheek into fire. My cheeks on fire.
Gretchen Rossi
My doobie is on fire. Because I enjoy pot.
Brandi Glanville
The house that. No, the roof. The roof. The roof is on fire.
Gretchen Rossi
I. I took a boat in a canal today because I got high. I went to get a space cake. Cause I got high. I fired Alfredo and replaced him with a New Alfredo. Cause I got high. Cause I got high. Cause I got high. Thank you. Thank you.
Brandi Glanville
So Gina's like, do you really feel that way? Fire and fire. And Gretchen's like, you guys don't think it's fair. And Heather's like, you're just poking each other. Well, you guys can't make comments and not let us respond. Like, you guys say stuff to me and I don't get to say something back. That's not fair. Gretchen, leave your slime ball at home, okay? Fight your own battles is what they're saying. Geez there.
Gretchen Rossi
At this point, Gretchen, multiple people are telling you, yeah, you're just as bad as Tamra. Like, you're really, you're really ruining your big return. I mean, and I, I've said it's a few weeks in a row and I'll say it again. She. I think Gretchen came on really strongly and she's going to be ending the season in a state where the fans are going to be like, get her out of here. Like, yeah, you messed up. You're messed up. Your big chance back.
Brandi Glanville
Yeah, Gretchen's garbage. I hope they get rid of her. I hope they don't keep her. I hope she's like another in a long line of tradition of the one season bring backs.
Gretchen Rossi
Because I really like Lydia. Lydia, Alexis, Gretchen, Gretchen.
Brandi Glanville
Who else was there? Wasn't there somebody else too?
Gretchen Rossi
Please say none of the peggies are coming back. I don't know if there's anyone. Oh, Gina sort of comes in and out. When are they gonna bring back Lynn Curtin? I think Lynn Curtin's next.
Brandi Glanville
So Gretchen's like, oh, Lori Waring.
Gretchen Rossi
Lori Waring was a one season bring back.
Brandi Glanville
Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot that. So Gretchen's like, I've tried everything that you can try under the sun. And the only thing Tamara responds to is strength. And Heather is like, that is the worst advice ever. Fighting fire with lighter fluid. That's what that is. Trust me, you don't fight fire with lighter fluid. You cover Alfredo in lighter fluid when he doesn't give you the proper badamtcha and then light him on fire.
Gretchen Rossi
You're damn right. You give up a dump. Try after that. So they finish with their dicks and they're joking and we're seeing the dicks and it's like, oh my God, they've got bedazzled. I look like Muppets. Whatever.
Brandi Glanville
Okay, and then we need to take these to dinner.
Gretchen Rossi
So now the ladies are heading to this siren. Shannon Is so stoned she can barely get up the stairs. And she also has her toe ailments, so there's that too. And there's like a big lady statue in the middle of this restaurant. And, oh, this is like the tan Buddha with breasts. This looks just like the Buddha. Are we back at the Golden Door? Are we back right? Wow. I love the way a season can begin and end at the same place.
Brandi Glanville
So let's see, Heather, like, the voodoo doll. And Gina's like, oh, my God, it's so weird. You guys got, like, decorated penises. It's so nice. It's so nice. And Shannon's like, you guys can share. We get to share a dick.
Gretchen Rossi
So. And then Gina makes a joke how, like, there's a lot of dick sharing because, you know, like, Shannon, she has a penis with Alexis, and Gretchen got that penis from Joe. And, like, it's so funny.
Brandi Glanville
So they're talking about their days and how much they had fun and how Shannon took some weed stuff and how she fell out of the van. And we see a flashback of that.
Gretchen Rossi
Which I did laugh at.
Brandi Glanville
I don't care how many times she does it. I'll laugh every time. I don't care if she's just making it up. But to show her getting out of the van and you just see the camera shake and Shannon's not there anymore, and you just hear, I wanted a piggyback ride.
Gretchen Rossi
The best moment I think of the entire episode is that Jen orders an extra dirty martini, extra dirty one. And Shannon goes, she's extra dirty like her martini. And she starts laughing at her own joke. And as she's laughing, a look of dread takes over her face. And this dread comes over her. And they, like, slow down the music. The music's all, like, Shen's happy music to, like, Shannon's feeling dread music. And we hear this echo of, like, stella, what happens if you do drugs?
Brandi Glanville
You die.
Gretchen Rossi
You die. And it's like, reverberating in her head. It was such an amazing, perfect Shannon moment.
Brandi Glanville
So funny. So then this real cute young guy comes. He's like, hello, everybody. Welcome to our restaurant. They all look at him like, oh, this is a child, right? Like, how old is this person? Is this. Is this a 14 year old? And Tamara's like, wow, hey, Heather, why don't you order? And Heather's like, okay, I'm gonna order. We're gonna have lobster steak, a pizza. She orders 10 things like, damn, Heather.
Gretchen Rossi
And what we would really like would be a big pot of macaroni. And cheese. Thank you, Alfredo.
Brandi Glanville
Of course.
Gretchen Rossi
We would never order such a thing. Too many carbs.
Brandi Glanville
That's what happens when you take them to a pot place and bring them to dinner. So Gretchen is fixing Shannon's hair because she's a mess. And Shannon's like, oh, well, I think. Oh, I think that's honey from the plane.
Gretchen Rossi
Honey from the plane. How did that. How does that even happen?
Brandi Glanville
Gretchen's like, they have free cocktails on the plane.
Gretchen Rossi
So Shannon is. She drops her beret. And then, like, Tamra is, like, under the table or something. Or Jen. I think it's Tamara's under the table. There's hammer. Jen, who goes under there?
Brandi Glanville
Tamara.
Gretchen Rossi
Oh. Tamara goes under to find it. It looks like Tamara's eating her out and everything. Everyone's laughing. It's wacky. It's like, are you gonna be nice.
Brandi Glanville
To me after this? Are you going down on Shannon? That's how bad she wants to be back with Shannon. She's going down on her. Oh, God. I got it. I got it. She reaches up and starts grabbing Shannon's boobs. And Shannon's like, she's trying to get a bite of my muffin.
Gretchen Rossi
If all it takes is a little space cake to get Shannon and Tamara back together, please buy a dozen.
Brandi Glanville
So Shannon's like, I mean, squeeze. The squeezing the breast is much better than being yelled at, for sure. Guys, guys, guys. We gotta get to the red light district. We got a window of opportunity. That's the window we're gonna be in it. It's not because it's a window. That's also a saying.
Gretchen Rossi
So then we sort of see this.
Brandi Glanville
Sharif just passes by. She's like, is that a pun? That's a pun.
Gretchen Rossi
Therese on her hoverboard just careens right into the canal. Then we see this, like, weird kind of montagey thing of them, like, in the red light district, dancing in the windows like they had the painted ladies of the night. And then we go to a really strange Dutch news report. This, Justin. For the first time in 200 years, the Red light district reports low numbers of activity. People are concerned that the red light district may be closed forever. We do not know what happened, but apparently it is. People are saying, quote, unquote, it has been ruined.
Brandi Glanville
So now they go out to the. The. Oh, yeah, the dancing in the windows and stuff. And Shannon's like, ladies, take note. She's coming in and taking charge. And so they're talking. They all do their little dances and stuff. And Shannon's posing in the window. She thinks she's a superhero.
Gretchen Rossi
Hey, lady.
Brandi Glanville
Hey, lady behind the window. Your dad's an alcoholic.
Gretchen Rossi
Oh, yeah. Everything is great. Jen's like, this is a good sign. We make it, we may make it out of Amsterdam. Alive, alive, alive, alive. And then next week, 12 hours later, now they're all gonna start yelling at each other. And I'm sure Emily's gonna start it off by all the intel that she gathered at the dick shop and the. The true trip will begin.
Brandi Glanville
Yeah, Emily is really just killing it for me. She's just killing it.
Gretchen Rossi
I think it's time. I think her time on the show is time.
Brandi Glanville
It has been time for five years. They need to get rid of her. But everybody, thanks for being here. Before we let you go, I wanted to let you know.

RHOC S19E18 Part 2: Canal Retentive
Release Date: October 17, 2025
Hosts: Ben Mandelker & Ronnie Karam (as Brandi Glanville & Gretchen Rossi)
Podcast Theme: Hilarious, irreverent recap and satirical commentary on Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Orange County” Season 19, Episode 18, focusing on the cast’s Amsterdam trip and their ongoing interpersonal drama.
This episode picks up with our hosts recapping and roasting the second part of the RHOC Amsterdam trip. They riff on everything—the Housewives’ chaotic group dynamics, questionable fashion choices, low-stakes fights, and the always-classic group activities (this time, bedazzling ceramic penises and indulging in Amsterdam’s famous “space cakes”). Brandi and Gretchen poke fun at both the Housewives and the sometimes-lackluster storylines, mixing snark with affection for the absurdity of Bravo TV.
Brandi and Gretchen keep their recap brisk, absurdist, and affectionate in its skewering of RHOC and its cast. They openly criticize the show’s recycling of low-stakes drama—especially Emily’s failed pot-stirring—while still relishing the harmless fun of Housewives’ outlandish group activities (e.g., decorating penises, getting stoned in Amsterdam). Their commentary is both biting and deeply attuned to the self-aware trashiness of Bravo reality TV.
For fans who missed the episode:
Expect lots of playful snark, laugh-out-loud critiques of fashion and narrative strategy, and a loving sendup of Bravo’s increasingly chaotic but endearing troupe. Through all the forced drama and weed-induced high-jinks, the hosts’ genuine affection for the Housewives’ deranged adventures shines through.
