Kyle Richards
Hello, hello, hello.
Ben
I'm doing great. I am manifesting what sort of provider I want to be. So I think I'm kind of set for life. I've done the hard work of manifesting.
Ronnie
Yeah.
Ben
How are you doing?
Ronnie
Manifest. You're putting the man and manifest, tiger. I'm doing good. I love that Amanda Francis is already so incredibly full of. It's just, it's just a gift to us as an audience, you know, because now I think we're gonna. We're gonna finally enter a season where dorit is not the most full of, which is gonna be interesting cuz dorit's full of.
Ben
They're all a lot of. They're pretty much all full of. And I'm also enjoying the Bose vs Amanda burgeoning issue there of like seminar to seminar seminar on seminar violence. I would say of like, wait a second, you know, like, I do seminars, but. You do seminars, but your seminars are full of shit. My seminars are the good shit. So it's like, this will be fun to watch seminar.
Ronnie
We should actually look into Bose's seminars. Like we did Amanda's website last week. Maybe we'll do that later in the recap today because I'm curious what those are because I thought that was a little weird that Bose got so instantly turned off by Amanda's like, shtick. And then I didn't even think, like, she's got competing seminars. Ooh, let's see what they are. Bose seminars. Anyway, while I Google that, everybody, welcome to the show. Monday is our final crap. Not crappy hour. We already did that. Monday is our final Amazon Live for the year. And that's going to be a 4pm it's going to be a good old time. We just chat with you. You chat with us. You ask us questions if you want to. We talk about stuff. We shop together. So 4pm Pacific time Monday. So join us. You can find our link in bio on Instagra. Also, if you want these videos on recap, you get them on Patreon. That's also where you get all our bonus episodes. We've got a really fun two parter coming up Friday and Monday for the Traitors. We do a cast breakdown and do two episodes on it. So that's super fun. If you want to talk trash about that cast, join us over there. But today, today, today we are doing.
Bose
The Badass Workshop curated by Bose. Well, here you've come to the right place because we've got your next move, right Session of the Badass Workshop is now available to you for you to watch. So take your first step towards building your baddest self and sign up today.
Ronnie
I mean, this sounds pretty full of too right. The Badass Workshop sessions.
Kyle Richards
Don't forget to check out Bose's special Urgent Life super session where she breaks out her memoir lessons.
Ben
I love.
Kyle Richards
It's like, everyone, there's an urgent session.
Ben
That needs to be had. That's just kind of like the other sessions probably. I mean, I think that what Bose has going for her is that she does have, like, she does have real credits in the world of corporate America. I mean, and Amanda has sold, has sold, you know, books and everything. But yeah, I kind of feel like this Is a. This is a battle royale between the seminar queens and, you know, the. I think with these seminars, just in general, I have to say, and I'm a skeptic because I'm also never taking them, but I'm a skeptic and, and I feel like all these, all these seminars, all these self help gurus, on a certain level, they may be helpful, but I do feel like there is a good amount of that comes with it too, you know? Oh, yeah, there's.
Ronnie
Of course. Yeah, yeah.
Ben
So you may get value from it, but I feel like the business model is to get people to keep coming back, so you have to feed a certain amount of. So I just don't trust any of them. And they know that, which is why, like, there could. There's only enough room for enough workshops. Like, I feel like you kind of need to, like to do the workshops. My outsider view is you sort of have to like, create like a cult. I'm not saying that they are cults. You just have to create a cult, like, following. And that means you have to have blinders onto everything else. Which is why now, like Bose and Amanda, they would butt heads potentially over their seminars because they would be. They're literally direct competitors.
Ronnie
Well, and when you look at their websites, they really are because Amanda's we saw last week, it was, you know, every workshop is her in a different badass dress and, you know, looking glamorous. They're all glamour shots and like holding purse, pretty purses and big letters saying, what's this chapter is about? But in Amanda's case, they're a big, like, girly cursive. They're like part two, manifesting your money, bitch. And then in Bose's, Bose does not use cursive. She uses extreme bold. Like extreme bold. But hers are the same. It's all pictures of her and, you know, looking beautiful.
Bose
There's like, chapter one, bring the badass looking gorgeous. Chapter two, looking gorgeous but on a floaty lips boardroom baddie. Chapter three, in a suit in front of a bunch of flowers. Get that money, honey. Chapter four, Spirit, mind, body and wellness. And you can tell because I'm wearing.
Ronnie
Something athletic but also hot.
Bose
And five, I'm in a wedding dress in a. In an ocean. Live I live. Live life urgently. I could drown right now in a wedding dress. Who wants that?
Ronnie
So they're similar. They're similar vibes. So, yeah, I'm glad you pointed that out because I thought. I forgot that Bose even had workshops.
Ben
Yeah, they haven't highlighted that at all but when we first met Bose, I always had this image of her walking to her seminar, and she had her whole team sort of like, walking behind her. They were like a second line, and they were just sort of like, doing this, like, march to the seminar together. And it was so funny to me that, like, that shot was like. It's, like, seared in my brain. But what's interesting is I'm looking at Bose's website and her workshops. Like, her level two workshop.
Ronnie
Her.
Dorit Kemsley
Her.
Ben
Her level one is $50. Then. I'm sorry, super sessions, $50. The urgent life. Level one is 100. That's five sessions. Level two is 155 sessions, and then level three is 250 for 10 sessions or so. And I'm trying to find prices on Amanda's website, and I'm not seeing a lot of prices. The only thing I did find is on the bundle page that, like, you can get a bundle of videos, and if you were to buy each video separately, it says it would cost $2700, which makes me feel like Amanda may be overcharging for whatever it is. If you're buy all her videos, you'd spend $2700. Whereas Bose is like a class is 150. It's 150 for five classes.
Ronnie
So where are you seeing the prices? Because when I press sign up, it's trying to get my info, and I'm not giving it to him.
Ben
On Amanda.
Ronnie
No, on Bose.
Ben
Oh, on Bose, it just says thebadassworkshop.com. you just scroll down. Just says the workshop. It says the badass workshop. 150, all five sessions.
Kyle Richards
It's just.
Ben
It's just straight up right there.
Ronnie
Oh, I'm on a page that says about usworkshop.com but it doesn't say prices. But anyway. Oh, yeah, there it is. Oh, my gosh. I scrolled down to the glamour shots. I mean, yeah, it's so high up that I. I didn't even look for it. I was expecting it to be at the bottom. Yeah, this is definitely cheaper than Amanda's. This is worth $19,000. And I go, geez. And now she's gonna act like 18,000 is a bargain or something, you know?
Ben
Well, I think also the fact that she doesn't really publish her prices anywhere easy to find is a huge red flag. Like, yeah, that's actually, like, booze. Just like my. This is how much it costs. Sign up. But Amanda does not have prices anywhere. Trying to find them or they're not easily accessible. I mean, I'M I'm scrolling through and that's just, that's she needs to manifest some, some prices on here. Okay. Because she has a lot of information, but I'm not seeing anything. Okay, let's see. I'll click on sell from your soul. Okay. You click on this as her sitting Amanda. And some sort of like roughly roughly shouldered top with like a leather skirt. It's the sacred art of calling in, sharing with and selling to those who need your work. And it's like a lot of text. Here's the thing, why you need it. I mastered this. Blah, blah, blah. Hi there, I'm Amanda Francis. I don't feel like a salesperson. Blah, blah, blah, blah. It goes on and on and on.
Dorit Kemsley
This is the platform.
Ben
Blah, blah, blah. Fear tactics, force or funnels. And you scroll down and down like, okay, where's the good stuff? How much does it cost to take this class? Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling module one. Oh, oh, here we go. Finally, the training. Okay.
Kyle Richards
Pre work.
Ben
The soul. The soulful art of sacred selling value.497. It's a 10 part.
Ronnie
She's telling, she's telling you the value, but she's not value how much it is.
Ben
Yeah, that's what I.397.397. This is more expensive. I'm saying it right now.
Ronnie
Yeah. So let's get hustled with positivity. Go to Bose. So I'll see you for cheaper.
Ben
I also feel like there's something about, like how, how wordy Amanda's website is that makes it feel like more of a con job. It's like you're working extra hard to convince me, which has me with my red flags up.
Ronnie
Well, yeah, that's kind of the nature of these. You know, they, they each have. But you know, Boses, like I said, is in bold and not like cursive. And there are paragraphs instead of like entire.
Ben
So. Yeah, I don't know.
Ronnie
So let's get to it, shall we? Here we go. 1503. A match made in Beverly Hills heaven. And it's Beverly Hills. So we start with Dior.
Rachel Zoe
Tiny dongs, lots of Clazal Zool bottles.
Bose
I collect them. I love them. Got 20 of them.
Ben
Sorry, I was just trying to the violins in the background to set the stage, you know, get the tone just right for us.
Ronnie
Bose is with Nico, her assistant who's pulling a lala today with his over the shoulder but arms not in his jacket. Look.
Ben
Yeah, Luke.
Bose
And she's like, oh, I feel like the hostess of the bachelorette Today.
Ronnie
And he's like, and then what are the men called on that? Like the bachelors?
Bose
She's like, yeah, yes, yes.
Ben
He says it like, it's like, oh my God, are they so stupid that they call them the bachelors? It's like, yeah, Nico, that's. That's what they're called. Poor sweet Nico. He's so sweet and so lovely and sometimes he says some very dumb things and it's hilarious. You just want to hold him in your arms, just cuddle him a little bit. Just rock.
Ronnie
Put his jacket on right is what I want to do before his wrist catch cold.
Ben
So he's like, I've never seen that show. It's for the old people date, right?
Kyle Richards
She's like, no. So I've come to a striking revelation. Almost everyone is single in this group and these girls are going through it.
Ben
So Bose is like, she's going to matchmake.
Ronnie
Yeah.
Bose
And she's like, oh, Dorit's going to be the most enthusiastic of all the girls.
Ronnie
And he's like, no, maybe Erica.
Bose
Oh, Erica's going to scare them. And secretly Kyle's going to be nervous.
Ronnie
It's not going to be secret. Kyle's going to be performatively nervous.
Bose
And she's like, oh, Kyle, finally she.
Ronnie
Can let her hair down.
Bose
Hopefully she can do the splits or something. Yeah, something new.
Kyle Richards
Yes. Hopefully she can feel so relaxed she could do a split, you know? I went through my contacts list and found eligible bachelors that meet my friends needs. I also learned that I don't have.
Ben
A lot of friends who are single.
Kyle Richards
It's really the best that I could come up with. It's kind of sad.
Bose
I went through my contacts and realized, God, I know a lot of aging douchebags. So time to have a party.
Ronnie
So we see the guys, they're all outside like, hey, yeah, hi. What do you do?
Erica Jane
What do you do?
Ronnie
What are you using? Your hair? Everything. How about you? Literally every stem cells. I use stem cells in my hair. That's why.
Ben
Yeah, bro. Yeah. And we see a flashback where Bose has called the girls together and she has a whiteboard and she's like, all.
Kyle Richards
Right, everyone give me adjectives for men that you like.
Erica Jane
Rich.
Kyle Richards
Okay.
Dorit Kemsley
Wealthy.
Kyle Richards
Okay.
Dorit Kemsley
Lots of money.
Kyle Richards
Oh, okay. And what about personality wise?
Erica Jane
Old as fuck. I want old as fuck almost dead. Really? Pasty balls down to his ankles. Can you find that for me? Thanks.
Ben
I want someone who can like feed Kai us means like a lot to me. Like Kyle.
Bose
I just want someone like, who won't.
Ronnie
Hurt my ex husband's feelings or my.
Bose
Or my daughter's.
Erica Jane
I'm an actor.
Ben
I want someone who is okay with fixing vending machines. He'll have to do that before he enters my house.
Ronnie
So she goes out and she meets.
Bose
The guys, and she's like, oh, let me tell you a secret, guys. These ladies are nervous. The group chat is filled with, what do I say? What do I do? You should see the group chat. It's crazy.
Ronnie
And Sutton's. We see the group chat, and something's like, I can wear a cat sweater. Here's a catch.
Dorit Kemsley
They're.
Ben
They're saying, what do I do? Because what they're trying to ask is, how do I seem friendly even though I have no interest in these people? Like, right, What. What are the things I should say so I don't look like a total bitch on camera, even though I already know I don't want to date any of these men. None of them are famous enough.
Ronnie
So then we go to Erica getting glam, and she's like, I just want.
Erica Jane
To look like a normal human being. Try and do that today. I know it's nothing I've ever asked for, but I want to look normal because men get scared of me. The face. Keep it young. But approachable. But not approachable. I want to look like I could give you a blow job in the back alley, but I might not. Okay, my mind, my mind.
Dorit Kemsley
Okay, Glam team.
Ben
Make me look pretty. That's all I want. Like, okay, I'm gonna make you look snatched. Well, I don't want to seem like I'm something that belongs in Dorit's house, you know? No, that's not what snatched means anymore.
Ronnie
Well, watch your mouth.
Bose
What?
Ronnie
You better watch your mouth in here, okay? I've already gotten a letter from the Catholic church this week.
Dorit Kemsley
I need it. I need a Coca Cola. I'm going to struggle.
Ben
And we see Dorit. She's having a moment where she's just, like, putting on rings, and it's like. Like what?
Ronnie
Well, we're seeing what Dorit does when she can't afford glam.
Rachel Zoe
She's like, oh, I'm gonna put a ring on a different finger. I guess I'll just talk to.
Dorit Kemsley
If I put too many rings on here, then no one can. Can claim me, right? Because then we can't put a ring on it, like Beyonce says. Says, right?
Rachel Zoe
Oh, I'm so done with the popular music.
Ronnie
So we go to Boses, and everybody starts showing up. And when Kyle and Erica come, the music's like.
Bose
It's like, well, I don't know about Kyle's single state. Is she single because she's accepted her separation from mo? Is she really even single at all the mysteries?
Dorit Kemsley
Hey, sorry to interrupt your inner monologue, but I do have to ask a question.
Erica Jane
Why'd you bring the most expensive bag, Kyle?
Ben
And Kyle's like, oh, my God, it's me.
Kyle Richards
I got, like, a mini Kelly shows.
Ben
Up, shows her airmen's bag. $36,000.
Ronnie
Yikes.
Erica Jane
Well, you're signaling high maintenance. And stay away from me. Speaking of, here's Dorit D's like, oh.
Rachel Zoe
Booze, you're a goddess. Look at you. I've never seen anyone so gor. Girls, have you seen booze? Gorgeous.
Erica Jane
Gorgeous.
Ben
By the way, just circling back to Kyle's little message that she's going to bring her most expensive Hermes bag. So that way the guys know what they have to live up to or what they have to provide for her. I guarantee that message is going to be totally lost on them. I guarant especially the comedian. The comedian is just going to be like, hey, cool bag. Did you get that at Marshalls?
Ronnie
Yeah, they're guys. So Kyle's like, oh, my God, we're all wearing black.
Bose
Why do we all look like we're going to a funeral?
Ben
Because for most of them, for everyone who's watching this show, they've just watched the future 25 minutes die in front of their eyes. Like, oh, my God. Wow. We're gonna be watching this for about 25 minutes of airtime.
Ronnie
We're mourning our Thursday nights. So Rachel's like, well, the key is you have to try too hard. Like, because, like. Like, if you look desperate and thirsty, like, Evan, look, if you wear black on the first date, you're saying, I want to have sex with you. So I wore black.
Ben
Yeah, because I want to look like. I didn't think about that because I, like, didn't care. Because, like, I wasn't thinking. I was like, I die. Like, I was like, oh, my God, I'm gonna wear black. Because I'm, like, not even paying attention to the fact that I'm, like, going on a date, not even realizing that I'm, like, dressing slutty in black.
Ronnie
I heard about this party, and then I died. So I dressed for my own funeral, But I came back alive to come here. But, like, I'm dead being here. I'm, like, literally flatlined.
Ben
Because, like, when I'm at home, I have to wear black. Cuz like, when k eats, he Spits, like, all over my shirt. This way it hides his hands. It's like, I wasn't even thinking, like, dating.
Ronnie
Yeah. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappin commercial. So Erica's like, I look like a.
Erica Jane
Maid that's about to get bent over.
Ronnie
And she does kind of. She's wearing this, like, black dress with kind of a white under thing that hangs out in the bottom. Like a flip is sewing. Yeah.
Ben
Yes. Everyone comes in black. And she's like, well, we look like we just came from a witch convention. Which, by the way, I mean, that's a very glamorous witch convention.
Ronnie
Now there's an else out.
Ben
Yeah. Real witches. The real witches of Eastwick.
Dorit Kemsley
So Erica's like, it says that we're in our lives. Okay.
Erica Jane
Black clouds.
Dorit Kemsley
I can over all of us. Yes. We just have to know that figure with we.
Ben
We just.
Dorit Kemsley
We have to just know going in that they're all cute, they're all successful, and they're all very, very nice. So who's gonna be afraid to talk to them next? Who's first? Kyle, you gonna run into a closet?
Erica Jane
No, just don't go in.
Ronnie
Oh, no, it's Buzz.
Bose
She goes, don't go in asking for dick pics.
Ronnie
And Erica's like, how dare you?
Erica Jane
How dare you?
Ronnie
And Kyle's like, I get enough dick.
Bose
Pics in my DMs. Like, what's a dick pic supposed to make me do? Be like, mom, hi. Want to meet up?
Ronnie
Yeah.
Ben
I mean, I think, actually that's the intent.
Ronnie
Dick pics are really weird, though. Just, like, random. In people's dms, they are kind of weird.
Ben
It's hard to just send one without context. It's like, one thing if, like, you're, like, already sexting and then one comes up, but, like, just to start with. That is such a bold move.
Ronnie
Yeah. So Rachel's like, I'm gonna go out there wearing my sunglasses. Like, did anybody else die when I said that? Like, literally, like, it's crazy. Like, just, you know what? Turn off all the machines. I'm dead. Just. Just no use for me.
Ben
Yeah. Rachel's gonna go out in sunglasses. And Dorit's like, don't do that.
Dorit Kemsley
It's rude.
Ben
So they go out.
Dorit Kemsley
She's like, hello, everyone.
Kyle Richards
Hello.
Dorit Kemsley
I've just come in from the continent.
Kyle Richards
Hello.
Rachel Zoe
Oh, well, I didn't realize how many of these women are socially awkward. Quill irk. Sutton. Well, I knew Sutton was, but.
Ronnie
So Sutton goes up to a guy, and she's like, okay, ha. Greg. Rick. Greg, Rick, Jonathan. Rick. Please change your name. I just don't like Rick. Are we gonna get there? Are you gonna work with me here?
Dorit Kemsley
Thank you.
Ben
And there's this guy named Sebastian who's a motivational speaker who's probably the bunch. What'd you say? And a crab.
Ronnie
A crab.
Ben
And a crab.
Ronnie
You think he's the hottest.
Ben
Well, cheeseball, who was. Can you tell me who was hotter than him?
Ronnie
The douchebag that Rachel was gonna be. The lawyer.
Ben
Yeah, I guess he's kind of.
Ronnie
I mean he was an. But he was the hottest. And then I think second was the real estate guy that worked with Mo before.
Ben
I don't know.
Ronnie
I mean, look, if you're going for like old men, country club guys.
Dorit Kemsley
Yeah.
Ben
So Rachel's like, oh my God. Is this like a receiving line or is it like a flat line? Because like I'm the flat line. I'm like dead. I'm like, I died. I died on the line. It's like a dead. It's like a flat line in the receiving line. Like they brought a corpse to the receiving line. You're shaking hands with the corpse right now. It's literally a dead corpse.
Ronnie
Listen, put a mirror under my nose. There's not going to be fog. I'm dead. So she's like, yeah, I. I want biggest flirt at 6 years old day camp. I want a ribbon and everything. They asked us to choose a husband to marry on the camp bus. Guess who I chose? The 18 year old camp counselor.
Ben
I think this is supposed to be a charming story, but instead I left concerned. So what happened to. I was like.
Ronnie
Someone check on the sleepaway camp, please. And so Eric is acting nervous, which is hilarious.
Erica Jane
Oh my God, I can't do it. I need to go to the bar. I just don't know how to do this. You know, there's two ways of me. There's Erica Jane. Erica Jane. Erica Jane can do anything. She can. She can crawl on the ground. She can get blowjobs in an alley. She can see. Okay, well, she can't sing, let's be honest. But Erica, Erica's very nervous. Very nervous.
Ronnie
Oh, God. So we're back to the Erica has two personality things.
Ben
Yeah, exactly.
Kyle Richards
I've never seen this version of Erica before. Where's the woman on stage crawling around in heaters probably with whips and chains somewhere. Where is she? Where is that Erica? Oh, there she is.
Ben
All the guys like, good night everyone. Good night. We're gonna go home.
Ronnie
So one of the guys Is like, oh, I've thought of an icebreaker activity. Let's just do some ice break and let's do it the old fashioned way. So, Dorit, how long have you been single?
Rachel Zoe
She's like, oh, God, five minutes a year. Who knows? It's painful. Was I single when I was together? I don't even knew. Who is Piggy? Who is he? Was there a man in my bed? Was there ever a man in my bed? I could have put him in the oven and come out with croissants if.
Bose
I'd had it on 350 for 12 minutes or so.
Ben
That's what I'll tell you, buddy. I like that. That guy's idea of a good icebreaker is asked how long someone's been single for. I'm like, is that an icebreaker or is that an ice maker? So then another guy is like, oh, well, Dorit, I've never heard a lemon referred to as a carcass. When it's done, she listen, it's clean.
Dorit Kemsley
It'S easy, and it's a good way to describe my marriage.
Ben
It's like, oh, is that how you'd also describe yourself?
Dorit Kemsley
Well, I am not easy. But Kyle is, though. Go tell her I told you so.
Ben
Which is to read's way of saying, okay, our conversation's done. You can flirt with Kyle now. You suggested that I was a and.
Ronnie
You think it's hilarious to diss my carcass out thing. How dare you, sir? Yeah, so she's like, well, I'm out.
Rachel Zoe
Of practice, but that doesn't mean it's goon. I mean, I know I'm a good fleet Out.
Ronnie
So Bose gives an announcement and thanks him all, oh, we're gonna say something, my little darling.
Kyle Richards
No, I was not gonna say anything. I was just merely going to make noises.
Bose
We've got stations for ladies to sit and questions I've written. And we're gonna go round until everyone's met. Kyle, sit here. Erica, you go inside. Sutton, just please don't embarrass us as a country. Just as a country.
Erica Jane
So Erica's like, well, I'd be on a. I'd be more comfortable on a stage with more clothes. I mean, with no clothes. I'm sorry. I'd be comfortable naked on a stage.
Ben
So Bose starts a clock because they each have sessions because speed dating. So Kyle's talking to some guy.
Kyle Richards
She's like, so, have you been married and is he famous?
Ben
And the guy's like, well, yes, I have.
Kyle Richards
Oh, yeah. Oh, cool. That's really exciting. Yeah.
Ben
Have you ever created a show with John Wells before? Like, I have. No. Okay. He's did the Pit also. It's kind of a hit right now.
Bose
So I'm just saying. Did Alicia Silverstone play your mother once? No.
Ronnie
Okay, moving on. So we go to Erica.
Dorit Kemsley
Oh, so.
Erica Jane
You liar.
Ronnie
And he goes, well, I was, but I'm not anymore.
Erica Jane
Oh, thank God.
Dorit Kemsley
Excuse me. Now what do you do for fun? You know, because I haven't had fun in so long.
Ben
And he goes, well, it's such a sexy dress. How is that not fun, what you're wearing?
Rachel Zoe
Well, I'll tell you this much. Still got it. Still got it.
Ronnie
Then we go back to Sutton, and he's like, oh, so you are. Are you more dominant or submissive? And she's like, well, I've learned to be more dominant in my life, and I'm real proud of myself. You know, last week, I got mad at the grass, and I had somebody come over, and I had him cut it.
Ben
I think the card means sexually. Are you more dominant sexually? She's like, oh, well, that's rather much of a heathen question if you ask me. I've been on a lot of bad dates. I went on that one that was all about the mother. Remember that one? And we see flashbacks of that guy who just wouldn't stop talking about the mother. God, I am so sick of those people that only talk about their mother. Anyway, let's do another scene with Reba.
Ronnie
I wonder what Reba thinks of this man. Yeah, I wouldn't describe myself as dominant. More dormant. So he's like, okay, moving on. So then Rachel is chatting with a guy named Garab, and he's like, yeah, you might know me because I started Comic Con. What? Yeah. You know, so if you're into superheroes, I'm just like, no, I can't. Like, please stop it. No, Like, I just came back to life. Like, please stop. I mean, you're like. You're like my kryptonite. Is that a superhero thing? Because, like, I want to die right now. Like, please.
Ben
Like, literally, the only superhero I like is Deadpool, because that's, like, literally me. I'm like a dead pool. A pool of, like, extensions. Just, like, dead right now. Like, that. I'm over.
Ronnie
I'm over it.
Ben
So there's a huge douche.
Ronnie
Oh, God.
Ben
I just want to say, when I was like, whoa, this guy started Comic Con. That's major. But then I looked it up, and this guy started, like, an alternate Comic Con called Like Ace Comic Con, which I'm sure is a perfectly fine convention. But for him to be like, I started Comic Con when there's like a very well established, internationally famous Comic Con and then there's also your Comic Con. You're a little bit of a con artist, I have to say. But that being said, but that being said also, I love that. Like, she doesn't. She doesn't know this. All she knows is this guy says he started Comic Con. And that's like, if I heard that, I'd be like, whoa, that's major. And she just does not care. She's like, Comic Con. So it's like a convention for like nerds, like millions.
Ronnie
Well, it does say he's founder. He's chairman and CEO of Wizard Entertainment and also a co founder and CEO of Ace Comic Con. But is that the regular one? Because it says Comic Con founder on his Instagram. Is Ace Comic Con, the Comic Con. And they just call it Comic Con.
Ben
So the San Diego Comic Con is a comic book convention and multi genre entertainment event held annually. I don't know why I became Lisa Vanderpump, but she just had to jump in there. But the founders, it was started in 1970 by Sheldorf, Richard Alf, Ken Krueger and Mike Towery, Ron Graf, Barry Alonso, Bob Sork, Scott Shaw, John Pound, Roger Friedman, David Clark and Greg Baer. And as far as I can tell, I don't see Garob in there.
Ronnie
There's no Garab's in there. Garob. Oh, Garab, you're a fucking Comic Con scanner.
Ben
That is. That is exactly what that is. Okay? Because we all know San Diego Comic Con is the one.
Ronnie
That's the one, people. So Erica is talking to the biggest douchebag in the room and he's like, yeah, I don't date a lot of girls in Los Angeles. Girls here are pretty bad.
Ben
She just goes, oh, God, I love when guys do that. As if they're like some great trophy. Like you think you are, sir, really?
Ronnie
And also, like, really smart move. Like you're sitting down with a woman being like, God, the women in LA are just pieces of, huh?
Erica Jane
Like, oh, geez.
Ben
So we go to Dorit doing that. He's doing the game. That's what he's doing. He's nagging. He's trying to make her feel insecure. So that way she's attracted to him. More like, this is a guy who 120 years ago read the game. It was like, I'm taking all those Lessons. I'm gonna look up mystery and find out what he's doing. Was that that guy's name, Mystery? You know what I'm talking about?
Ronnie
Yeah, yeah, I remember that.
Ben
With a hat.
Ronnie
Gross.
Ben
Yeah.
Ronnie
So the only worst. The only guy worse than that is the salt guy. The guy who comes in and goes like, this.
Ben
Salt day.
Ronnie
Yeah.
Erica Jane
Oh, I hate that.
Ben
How did that go viral? Like, I don't understand why that went viral. It's just salting from his.
Ronnie
Yeah, I hate him. Okay, so my favorite conversation is dorit with this next guy. She's. He goes, so where do you live this side of town? She has.
Rachel Zoe
We're on the west side, right?
Ronnie
And he's like, no, this is more like the east side.
Rachel Zoe
Well, I don't know what side I live on. I live in a place called the Vili. Have you heard of it?
Ronnie
And he's like, oh, okay.
Rachel Zoe
Well, do you know where it is?
Ronnie
And he's like, that way.
Rachel Zoe
What could you find out? Because I want to make sure I get back there in time.
Dorit Kemsley
I don't know where I am.
Ben
I just get into a car and I show up.
Dorit Kemsley
I just know who's house somewhere.
Ronnie
You live on the extreme west side of the valley, Dorit. That's where you live, right? Isn't she in, like, isn't that Encino? It's like, on the west side of the valley.
Ben
She lives in Encino, which is. Well, the west side. West side of the valley will be like woodland hills, but it's still more western valley. She's on the other side of the 405.
Dorit Kemsley
She's like, I don't know where I am. East side, west side, west side. To the east side. New diggity. Where am I now? I don't know where I am.
Ben
I just love just. She just gets in cars and arrives in places and has no spatial awareness. She's like, she could be in Kentucky for all she knows.
Ronnie
So Rachel is talking to the douchebag guy, and she's like, oh, my God. It's like, musically, like, who's amazing? He goes, I don't know, like the Rolling Stones. No way. But like, what about, like, Chris Martin, though?
Ben
He goes, cold blade sucks. White women love Coldplay. Like, okay. And, like, please get. This guy's like, saying, white women love Coldplay. Coldplay sucks. You just said the Rolling Stones. Not that the Rolling Stones suck, but, like, I'm pretty sure that's also white women too.
Ronnie
This guy has so many issues with women. My God. Like, he wasn't. He the one who was just like, yeah, women in LA suck. And he's like, oh, white women love Coldplay.
Rachel Zoe
What's this guy?
Ronnie
He's probably problem.
Ben
He's probably still listening to his, like, Outcast CD from 2003, trying to get cred from that, being like, yeah, man, speaker box. That's an album. It's like, okay, congratulations.
Ronnie
He's like, hey, yeah, that's music. So Rachel's like, yeah, when I was younger, like, I was always in love with the wrong guy. And I realize now that, like, I'm still her. Yeah, I'm still her. I shouldn't be able to choose. Don't let me choose a man. And we just cut back to her. She's like giggling and smacking his leg. Like, he's just so hilarious. Like, yep, you picked the worst one. Yep.
Ben
The first time in 20 years of Bravo that we've seen Rachel Zoe get animated and giggle. She's like, you're crazy saying that about Coldplay. I mean, by the way, it is hilarious that. I never would have thought Rachel Zoe, of all people would be like, I really like Coldplay. Like, that was not what I expected. I thought she was gonna say some dj, like, you know, like DJ Frankfurter. Like, so good. Like, he's like playing at a party tomorrow night. Like, I'm actually gonna go. He's actually like a friend of mine, but he's like, actually kind of hot. Like, we kind of have a thing going on, but, like, whatever. I don't know. I die.
Ronnie
Coldplay.
Ben
Yeah. I feel like she wants, like, also none of these guys are for Rachel, so I think she wants a guy who has longer hair, like, who's like, hipster. It's kind of edgy, you know? Douchebag. Yeah.
Ronnie
So now we go to Kyle. She's talking to some real estate agent named Chase, and she goes, oh, my.
Bose
God, my husband would die.
Ronnie
We're separated. And goes, yeah, I know your husband. We had a deal.
Bose
She goes, oh, yeah, I'm sure you did.
Ben
I can't get away from Mo. Especially when I bring him up.
Ronnie
Yeah.
Ben
Like, it's like everywhere. Like every. Every time I'm talking to someone and I'm like, oh, my God, I used to be married to Mauricio. They're like, I know Mauricio. I'm like, oh, my God, I cannot away from him. Like, why do people keep talking about him?
Ronnie
Yes, but he does make good deals. So then Dorit's talking to another. She's talking to the. The self help guy. I Guess that's what he is, right? Or self help speaker or something. God, we're overrun with them right now on Bravo. Enough. So he's like, yeah, I married a stranger in Vegas for a day. That was on my bucket list.
Rachel Zoe
And Drake goes, I was just gonna say that's a bucket list. The she got married.
Ronnie
And he did.
Ben
He's like, well, it's legal in your.
Dorit Kemsley
Country because, well, when I turn the charm on, I'm not just a giggle type. I'm more in the eyes, the hair flip, the three different accents I do at once.
Rachel Zoe
Whenever in doubt, just say, it's a bucket list thing.
Kyle Richards
All right. The guys all love Dorit, but they also all love. And all the girls love Sebastian.
Ben
And they're all saying, oh yeah. This guy's like, yeah.
Ronnie
I think that Mika's like, yeah, I think they're good together because they both have accents.
Dorit Kemsley
Everyone says I'm loquacious. And I say, what's that? Is that a location that we're in? Does that mean if you're locust, does that mean you don't know the location that you've actually been driven to?
Rachel Zoe
I've just learned I live on the west side.
Ronnie
Wow, Loquacious. What a word. Big one.
Ben
That was a big Erica. Erica's talking to Galeb and she's like.
Dorit Kemsley
So you're a nerd. So I spotted you a mile away. Tell me more.
Ben
He's like, yeah, I grew up.
Erica Jane
Go ahead, you got five seconds.
Dorit Kemsley
You know, if you grew a pot belly and were about 20 years older, I'd actually find you sexy.
Ben
So he says, yeah, well, I grew up really into comic books and sports cards.
Erica Jane
Yeah, I love a sports car. I just wanna get in one, drive it out.
Ben
He's like, no cards.
Erica Jane
Oh, sports cars. I didn't know cards was a sport, but whatever. So she's like, yeah, I've got no game.
Ronnie
Now she's talking to a douche. The douchebag.
Erica Jane
And she's, oh, so you're in law, huh? So what are you, a slimy weasel?
Ronnie
And he's like, yeah, like, he looks so offended. But she's the first person to shut this fucker up. So I was actually really proud of Erica because she's the first one that got that guy. Like.
Ben
So then Rick is talking to Sutton. He goes, I love your accent. I mean, mine comes back, back when I'm home. I've been fortunate to be in baseball, represent a bunch of baseball players. I'm basically famous. The famous pro by proxy. What doesn't Wait, Sutton owns a baseball team, doesn't she?
Ronnie
I think so, yeah. Maybe that's why they were talking about it. Yeah, she did. I think she did. And so he's like. She's like, well, I'm interested. I could like Rick. And so now Bose kicks all the men out, cuz time's up and sun's like, nice meeting y'.
Erica Jane
All.
Ronnie
Bye, bye, Rick. And then Rick, on his way out.
Ben
It'S like, erica, God, you're hot.
Ronnie
Here's my card.
Rachel Zoe
Give me a call sometime, please, please.
Ben
And basically does not give the number two or Sutton. So Rachel is like, I love bows. And there's like, nothing I won't do for her. But I knew there was like, 0% chance I was meeting a guy at speed dating. Like, does anyone here even know how to play guitar? I don't even think so.
Ronnie
Dead dating. I'm in speed dating. No. So the girls gather outside, and Rachel's like, wow, Dorit, you were like, so amazing at flirting. Like, that was fantastic. Use, like, 30 different accents. Like, I've never seen anybody pull out, like, their app for, like, Rosetta Stone before. But, like, that was amazing. Good job.
Dorit Kemsley
Well, they do say I'm loquacious, so I'm very good in these locations.
Ben
Situations.
Dorit Kemsley
What's. What are words?
Ben
Really?
Rachel Zoe
Tonight was a boost of confidence. I feel like fun flirty to read was back, and it felt good.
Dorit Kemsley
It took fun flirty to read a long time to get back to me, but that's because she had no idea if she was on the west side or the east side. But now, once the party and the soul connected, it's. It's all great.
Ronnie
So Dubose is asking their favorite guy, and they all agree it was the Aussie self help guru and said's like, well, I. I kind of liked Rick.
Erica Jane
And Erica's like, oh, really? Well, did Rick give you his card? Because Rick gave me his. Scott.
Ronnie
She like, well, I'm just saying, your attorney husband didn't work out too well, so maybe you should reconsider that.
Ben
To read in the corner laughing, but also having her soul exit her body temporarily to go get coffee.
Dorit Kemsley
It's back. My soul got coffee.
Erica Jane
All right, ladies, gather round, gather round. I'm about to do something very important in the spirit. Spirit of kindness and friendship and goodwill to those less fortunate than me. Sutton, please take the card of the hot man that didn't like you. Oh, gosh. I just want to prove that I'm a good friend.
Ronnie
Like, wow. Nothing showing good friend, like pointing out in front of everybody that the only person Sutton liked liked you and not her.
Ben
Yeah, you're such. Enjoy these sloppy seconds that I never had in the first place. Here, take my hello. Fresh box. Here comes one right now. So she's like, they.
Kyle Richards
But they do.
Ben
They do view this as, like, a. A lovely gesture. They're like, oh, that was nice. And so Dorit's like, coil.
Dorit Kemsley
Are you actively looking for someone? And is that person a boy or a girl? Can we catch the bottom of it?
Kyle Richards
She's like, of course not. Like, whatever. She's like, what do you mean? I mean, you're not looking, right?
Dorit Kemsley
She's like, but I'm not three years.
Kyle Richards
In, it's like, oh, well, I just, like, I just want to be married again.
Ronnie
And everyone's like.
Rachel Zoe
Married.
Ronnie
And Erica's like, dorit.
Erica Jane
Hey, Doreen, come over here for five minutes. Come on, let's have it. Let's have a private talk. All right? Come on.
Ronnie
So they go off, and then Sutton just immediately follows them. She's like, yes, my ass. I'm gonna sit down. I'm gonna listen to everything. I'll tell you what you're not gonna do. Have private dog. Okay, Come here, too.
Dorit Kemsley
Hey, delete. I just want to check in on you. Okay, son. You just sit right there. Okay? So did your kids go to Florida or whatever? Because this is a really uninteresting storyline that I feel compelled to ask you about because the producer said, hey, go ask the Read a question in the other room so that way Kyle can have a scene outside with Bose.
Rachel Zoe
They did go. They did go. And finally they FaceTimed me from Florida, and finally I had my baby back. I thought I saw Tiger on the feast.
Dorit Kemsley
Did they. Did they go to. Wait, I have a question. Did they go to Disney World? Disneyland? Because Disneyland on the west coast, and Disney World's on the east coast.
Rachel Zoe
Who's Lucretius now?
Ben
Hey, so you have to take care of yourself, you know, Because, Dorit, when I look at you, I see you are a lady who does not get pampered, does not have free time, can't just putter around her kitchen drinking Coca Colas and putting rings on her fingers. You need to take care of yourself for once.
Erica Jane
America's like, here's the deal. When you're going through a divorce, you got to be in a good state of mind, because anything and everything will be used against you. Got starving orphans, people on fire, plane crash victims. Hell, you got to be count against.
Dorit Kemsley
You stolen earrings that are with $4.
Erica Jane
Million that you're bragging about, because maybe.
Dorit Kemsley
They were fun about the. The plot of some other people.
Erica Jane
They'll use anything they can get against you, but men, Men can get away with everything.
Ronnie
Your husband's gonna die in jail.
Ben
So I think she's largely right, but. Yes.
Ronnie
Oh, yeah, she is right.
Ben
She's right. But she's, like the first person deliver it.
Ronnie
No, of course she's right. But it's just Erica.
Ben
It's like, oh, my gosh.
Ronnie
So Sutton's like, okay, well, here's the thing. You will survive this. But you know what? It sucks. And you suck. And I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that a sucky person is going through a sucky time. I'm so sorry to read.
Rachel Zoe
And she's like, oh, to see a different sort of something. She's telling it from a heart. A cold, cold, crispy, crunchy, shriveled up little heart. And it feels. It feels so I appreciate.
Dorit Kemsley
Takes me back to 1995 and seeing a commercial that announced the softer side of Sears. And I thought, wow, gee, there's another side of Sears I never realized.
Ronnie
Gee.
Ben
Well, I see myself in this broken wing she's walking around with, and it's the hardest thing to watch. Oh, did someone summon me? There's a broken bird in Hollywood.
Rachel Zoe
I'd love to help you, but Kyle's still here. Call me when you get rid of the skank.
Ronnie
It just poops out. So, Bose, Rachel and Kyle are talking in the other section, and Bose is.
Bose
Like, well, I want to be a good friend to anybody. Everybody.
Ronnie
Kyle.
Bose
Kyle, there's somebody. I'm. I'm trying to peer back the onion of Kyle. Kyle, let me peel that. Oh, Kyle. Stinky, stinky onions. Stinky onions. So, Kyle, tell me, did it spark? And if not, tell me, girl, what do you want? Do you want. What do you want? Just tell me. Do you want a manly. Do you want a big long hair, short hair, vagina penis? Go ahead, tell me, tell me.
Kyle Richards
And just know that if you bring me to tears, it's only because you're an onion.
Ben
And it has nothing to do with my emotional state.
Kyle Richards
It's just a chemical reaction to being near you, Kyle.
Ben
Well, thanks a lot. I mean, I'm not the only single one here, so I don't know why.
Kyle Richards
Everyone'S asking me questions all the time but you.
Bose
Okay, well, you just don't want to hook up. To hook up, right? You don't want to just be like, right, Right? Is that what you're Saying you don't want to. Just. You just don't wanna. Well, what do you want, Kyle? What do you want?
Ben
And one night, kind of the art girl, are you. You're like, you would, like, die if you. I would die if I did that. Unless it was, like, Chris Martin. I would totally hook up with Chris Martin. Like, I die. I die. I literally die for Chris Martin.
Ronnie
So Carl asked, well, how long have you been in love? And she's like, three times. And Rachel's like, four. Oh, God, I'm so embarrassed to admit that. Before, for one, was with an ice cream truck guy when I was, like, I don't know, 13, and he was probably 19, so I was inappropriate, but it counts. And Kyle's like, well, I've been in love three times too.
Bose
Okay, well, nice try to change the conversation, but we're still gonna ask you questions.
Kyle Richards
Does that mean you've been in love three times or Six times? Because three times.
Ben
2.
Kyle Richards
Are you doing math? I can't tell what's going on here.
Ben
She's like, I don't know what answer is the better answer to get you.
Kyle Richards
Guys to stop asking me this question, we'll say three. We'll go with three. Yeah, three. So she goes, have you found love?
Ben
And Ra goes, that's, like, a good feeling to find love. Like, I actually fell in love just like last week, but it was like a Versace jacket, and I just, like, in love. So b.
Bose
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I did. I did find love.
Ronnie
I did.
Bose
And she goes, but now you don't have it anymore, Kyle. And she's like, but now I just. I'm. I'm. I'm on my own again.
Ronnie
Oh, Kyle, you're still dating that girl? I don't believe it. Oh, by the way, I also have to apologize to you and to the whole audience because I've been getting comments all week that are like, ronnie, duh. Morgan has been out of the closet. She's out of the closet. I went on this whole thing last week. I took up everybody's, like, an hour, and Ben was like, no, I think she's out of the closet. And I was like, nope, she's absolutely not. The reason I said that was because when this was going on last year, I was Googling it and reading Reddit threads about it, and everything I found says that Morgan will not talk about it. She says no, which to me means in the closet. But people are telling me that she's been out of the closet, and she just is private about her life. I Guess so. My pity is kind of waning here. Because if you're out of the closet, then I don't want to hear it from you. Kyle. Talk about it. Ms. Open and Honest. Get to yapping.
Ben
Yeah, get to yapping on your face.
Kyle Richards
I don't know.
Bose
Right.
Ben
Sometimes you just have to say, get to yapping period, and not add a preposition because then we have the periods.
Ronnie
Okay. Yeah.
Ben
I'm a preposition queen. Okay. When I'm supposed to have my period, I go for the preposition, and then I get myself into trouble time and time again. I cannot help it. I cannot help it.
Ronnie
Well, Kyle is saying, oh, Bose is acting like she's never heard anything or seen anything. And she's, like, asking all these questions, and I'm like, okay, okay.
Bose
Bo's like, you don't.
Ronnie
You don't ever, like, read People magazine, okay? Like, you don't.
Bose
You don't know what's going on with Kyle.
Ronnie
Like, I'm pretty famous, so.
Kyle Richards
Yeah, like, hello.
Ben
I kind of, like, invented, like. Like the show. So, like, it's like.
Kyle Richards
So was it your choice or was it not your choice?
Ben
It's complicated. Sorry. I just. I know I could just, like, answer your questions normally, but I just want to keep having you ask me questions because it feels really good to be, like, center of attention once. So Bose is like, okay, well, it's.
Kyle Richards
Really hard for Kyle to be vulnerable, but I'm really glad that she's at least sharing a little bit, because I want to be there for her and support any way I can.
Ben
But this new. This new, like, characterization of Kyle as this heavily guarded person that's hard to get to know. This is. That's not. That's not Kyle. Like, Kyle's always yammering about every single thing in her life that makes her feel sad and she, like, trembles her lip, but she's doing it now. Now she's like, I just need to be private right now. And it's just. It's funny because, as they say, how. How difficult it is for Kyle to be vulnerable when Kyle is the queen of being open and honest. Like, that's her whole thing, is be open and honest. Open, honest. And yet for some reason now, all of a sudden, she's the one that they have to do baby steps with to be vulnerable. It's like, I can't. I can't deal with this.
Ronnie
Yeah, but it's so funny because Kyle gives her nothing. She's just like, it's dot, dot, dot, complicated.
Bose
And Bose is like, wow, look at Kyle opening up. That's all I needed. That's all I needed. Because I'm a girl's girl, Kyle. I want to be in everyone's business.
Ronnie
And she's like, okay, well, why don't you just ask what you want to ask, Bo? So, okay, I could go Brad or I could go Angelina. That's what you want to say, right?
Bose
Just say it.
Ronnie
That's like a shockingly serious moment because the previews had us believe it was like this hilarious moment, but it comes off as kind of like her being like, oh, just say it. You want to out me in front of America? Just do it. Do it. Do it. To the community bows. Not just to me. Look every homosexual teenager in the face that's not ready to talk about it.
Bose
And you do this to them.
Ben
So then Kyle's like, my biggest worry.
Kyle Richards
After separation was being alone.
Ben
But finding someone you have a lot in common with is, like, really, really exciting. You know, like, for instance, like, we're both, like, we're both child actresses and we both are competitive with our sisters, and we both know Jamie Lee Curtis and we both started TV shows. Alicia Silverstone, like, this person, like, we're like, very, very similar. We've had, like a lot in common.
Ronnie
What I'm saying is I masturbate.
Ben
I would love that as an answer.
Ronnie
So Kyle's like, well, I've always been attracted to men. You know, it's all dark and handsome and boats.
Bose
Is like, but does that apply to women too?
Ronnie
It's like, now that I'm allowed to ask. And Kyle's like, well, I'm just like worried, you know, like, what if I go out with someone and the Mo's upset by it? And like, what if the girls are upset you left your husband for a woman? Stop this crying. I can't grow a pair already. Grow your heels. So Rachel's like, well, you don't have to know, Kyle. You know, you've been like with Mo forever and it's okay to be you and it's okay to connect with you and connect who you're with. You know, like, look, it's like I told Mo when I told him and asked Solomon, Aspen, it's totally fine for you to dance around and sing Tiffany songs at karaoke to try and get 20 year old Pusay. It's just.
Bose
What you're.
Kyle Richards
What?
Rachel Zoe
What? What did you.
Ronnie
Sorry. Sorry. That's neither here nor there. What were you saying, Kyle?
Ben
This is also my favorite part is somewhere in the middle of this. I think we talked about it at length during the trailer trash, but at length, I think when Kyle says that she could go Brad or Angelina, they cut to Rachel and she has this moment where there's, like, a piece of string that's, like, pulling her head back. She's like. She's like, yanked awake. Like she was like a marionette that was, like, sagging down to the floor. And someone's like, oh, shit, we're on. Like, get the thing ready. And the stream's like, what? I'm reanimated. I'm alive.
Dorit Kemsley
I'm.
Ben
I was dead, but I'm alive.
Ronnie
I'm sorry. But somebody actually mentioned actual friends of mine. It just woke me up for a second and a realization came to me. You're not getting either one of them. So broad. You know what I mean?
Ben
Yeah, they're like, famous. Suppose is so Kyle saying, you know.
Kyle Richards
I've gone through a lot in the last three years. I've changed my perspective, and I'm sad.
Ben
But I'm also grateful. Like, you could be a wife and a mother and get, like, lost a.
Kyle Richards
About who you are. And both says, well, I'm going back into my contact list and looking for para lesbians.
Ben
Just.
Kyle Richards
No, no, no, no.
Ben
I'm like a fake kind of person. I just kind of want to, like, meet someone where ritual meet someone, like, in a famous circle.
Ronnie
So, yeah, how are you a fake person?
Bose
You met.
Ronnie
You met your girlfriend by DMing her. Okay, what the hell? So now we go to out of this party. This was like, half the episode. So now it was. We go to another white house every. I thought it was so funny because in one of the lines here, Sutton's like, oh, my God, I love a white house. Well, that's good, because every single house on here is a white house.
Ben
White box house. So we go to Kyle's house. It says Kyle's house. And then it's like, wait a second. It's Amanda's house. Because Amanda lives in Kyle's old house. And we see, like, a glimpse into Amanda's world, and we see everything around, and there's like a. One of a piece of wall art that's like a black AMEX card. It's like she knows money and she has all these kids in there, and her fiance Eddie is. They're all in the kitchen. I think we only get to. We only find out, like, some of their names. There's like, Shoshana and Kanan or Canaan. And then I think maybe there's like, one other, like, One other girl. We get to find out whose name it is. But then Shoshana and Kanan are, like, painting something on the table, and she's.
Dorit Kemsley
Like, hey, King, that's my side.
Ben
Hey, guys, what if we both paint on both sides and, like, we work together collaboratively? I'm like, your children are gonna be a monster. It could be monsters. Okay, the answer is, get the off that. Get your brush off the. Of her side. Paint your side. Kanan.
Ronnie
The producer, is like, so how does growing up in Oklahoma differ from where you're. The way your children are growing up?
Rachel Zoe
And she's like, how.
Ben
Say this?
Ronnie
Yeah, I came from very humble beginnings, and my kids are rich as. So, yeah, we didn't have a lot on Friday nights. We would just hang out at Walmart. I mean, I would walk around Walmart for fun. That actually sounds pretty good to me. I mean, I had plenty of a. Of a walk around a store night, you know?
Ben
Yeah, that sounds great.
Ronnie
Where'd you guys walk around? We had the mall.
Ben
We had the mall. We'd go to the movies, go to the diner. I'm trying to think, like, we'd walk around the mall, but that wouldn't be really. At night. It wouldn't be walking around the mall at night. It was, like, going to a friend's house a lot and watching, like, a video. I mean, I was, like, in two groups I was in because I joined my high school in sophomore year, so I skipped all the middle school that everyone went through, so I didn't have to be locked into a group. So I was like, you know, the. The. The band who always wanted to be popular, like, ingratiated his way into the popular kids group. But I actually didn't hang out with him that much because I just didn't. But every once in a while, I did hang out with him, and I got to go to, like, a party where there was, like, drinking, and that was, like, so cool. But, like, the people that I usually hung out with who are, like, more like my real friends, we just, like, go to each other's houses and, like, watch movies. Like, impromptu drink, like soda.
Ronnie
Yeah.
Ben
You know, who doesn't love a Judy like Judy Davis in Chopin.
Ronnie
Hello.
Ben
Wasn't that what that movie was?
Ronnie
She's like, yeah. I was walking around wall. Wait, what movie? Chopin.
Ben
Isn't it, like, impromptu? That movie? Impromptu. Judy Davis.
Ronnie
I think that she's in that. The first one I saw of hers was Husbands and Wives a long time ago.
Ben
I'm sorry. Judy Davis was George sand and Hugh Grant was Chopin, and Mandy Patinkin is Alfred de Musset, in case anyone cares. And Bernadette Peters is Marie. I gotta rewatch this movie. This is a. This is a gay phantasmagoria. Berna Peters.
Erica Jane
What?
Ronnie
So she's like, oh, my God, my kids are never gonna grasp that the reason I walk them around, like, Beverly Hills in the stroller, like, get them ice cream or lunch or whatever, is because, like, I want them to see, like, what I didn't have. I'm like, or maybe because it's their neighborhood, like, what else are you gonna do, lock them up in a closet? You walk them around Beverly Hills and buy them ice cream because that's where you live. Amanda, she's like, I want them to, like, see it. You know, Like, I dreamed this for them. And we walked the streets that. Like, I watched two streets on Clueless.
Ben
That was a strange. I didn't know how I felt about that. On the one hand, I was like, I know what she's talking about. Because a lot of times when I'm just driving around LA and, like, if I'm like, driving down Rodeo Drive, it's like, oh, I gotta get to Rodeo Drive. I'm like, it's so weird that this is just, like, a street I'm driving down when it's like, you grow up as a kid watching Clueless, and it's like, whoa, Rodeo Drive. And now it's just like. Like a road, right? So, like, I get that on the one hand, but on the other hand, it feels weird because it feels like she just, like, moved out here to live, take over chairs, shares lifestyle.
Ronnie
She did.
Ben
I'm gonna be.
Ronnie
He did. That's what she's saying. And that's what, you know, that's what kind of hit me watching this. And we're singing on two shows right now because Vanderpump Rules has the manifester Venus who's like, oh, my God. I, like, totally manifested everything in my life. And on one hand, you're like, well.
Bose
You'Re a waiter, though.
Ronnie
But on the other hand, you're on a TV show and you're a star now. And that's kind of the thing with her. So maybe they're manifesting works. You know, you've got two people who are, like, kind of making it, and they're just kind of dodo birds, both of them. So.
Ben
Well, the key is, okay, I want Amanda to stand outside the gas station under circus liquor and see. See, like, if she's gonna do the Clueless Thing. See it all the way through.
Ronnie
Well, that's, you know, and that's. That also made me think because I was like, well, maybe my manifesting is broken because whenever I pass that clown liquor store and I see that, which I pass all the time, I'm like, oh my God, I manifested the valley. I manifested the valley.
Ben
Did it. I just want you to know, by the way, to anyone who is driving to Circus Liquor just to see it from Clueless, that's at the corner of Burbank and Vineland avenues. There is a little donut shop there called Perfect Donuts and they do an excellent bodega style breakfast sandwich there. I'm just going to let you know that right now. And their donuts are actually quite excellent. It's just this little under the radar donut shop and so is their liquor.
Ronnie
Well, yeah. So Eddie go. So she's talking about like how Eddie's going to Disney Monday. And we worked, we met five years ago and he works in construction and you guys, before daddy proposed, I kept having the stream that he got me a ring with a spot smart and final logo on it.
Rachel Zoe
Could you imagine?
Ben
Which is funny because it, you know, the proposal. Get this marriage probably isn't smart and it probably won't be final.
Ronnie
Yeah. So she's like, yeah, once we were living together, he asked me what I wanted, like my pries so that she's like my pur.
Ben
Yeah, she does have.
Ronnie
And I was about to turn 36 and I was like, there's more of an expiration date on my ovaries than a ring. So like let's have kids first. So we did it and we just started making babies. And you guys, it took me, it took a long time for us to get engaged, but daddy crushed it. Look at my ring. Now look, manifesting stuff for you is great, but like she just posted a picture of her baby in a crib or something like covered in hundred dollar bills that she just dropped. Don't raise assholes. You know what I mean?
Ben
It's too late. Like it's too late.
Ronnie
It's okay. If you grew up poor and you're like, I want money. And then you went out and got money. I mean that's good. There's like a Cinderella story. But kids who are already rich, just teaching them to be obsessed with money and only money, you're raising four. And I'm telling you that right now at least three of those kids are going to be sociopath assholes. Prove me wrong in 20 years.
Ben
Well, it's Good to earn that money, cuz you'll need it for rehab probably. So then Amanda is like, well, she's like, hey, kids, Daddy got me the exact ring that had been on my vision board. Literally. It's cuz it's on your vision board. He can see it.
Ronnie
He saw it. You probably emailed him your vision board every goddamn day till he bought you that thing.
Ben
As a financial empowerment teacher and coach, I'm the biggest. I'm the embodiment of everything I teach. I'm my biggest testimonial. Guys, look at everything I did. I have an American Express painting on my wall. So like, yeah, someone who was like in one of my courses, like, of course Amanda wouldn't come through manifesting a man. Amanda comes through manifesting a whole ass family. Oh my God, I love that person, whoever she was. He said that thing that I told her to say.
Ronnie
So then we go to Rachel's and Sutton comes over and she's like, oh my God, I love your house. I have a pension for white houses and people. So thanks for having me over. Oh, so you drink white wine?
Ben
I love white. God, I love white house too.
Ronnie
Yeah, I love white wine. Yeah, I love white wine.
Ben
White house is white.
Ronnie
That's good. I brought you some white wine. Yeah.
Ben
Of the year, right?
Ronnie
Well, here we are. Isn't this a fun Levitania?
Ben
My God, this is going great. I die.
Ronnie
I die. The chemistry. Gotta feel it. Okay, so Rachel's like, yeah, I know Sutton because, like, we know other people. Like, I'll see her around at like parties and stuff, you know, because like, she knows Kathy. I know Kathy, like, especially around the holidays. Like, it's work. That's when you have to invite Sutton. So, like, I'll see her, but like, I don't really know her. So anyway, Sutton, have a seat.
Ben
Rachel's like, like, yeah, like she's always someone who invites me. Like very. Is like very friendly and like outgoing. Invites me to all these things. I just like, never was like very close with her, which is her way of saying she's always invited me to. And I never go to it because she knows me. But now I'm gonna get to know her because we're on a TV show.
Ronnie
Or she tries really hard, but I've never, like, had to. I've never been cornered long enough to have to have a conversation with her.
Ben
She's.
Bose
But here we are.
Ben
I don't. I don't associate myself with reality folk, but now I've lowered myself back into this world, so can we talk about Buzz's house. Like, I can't believe we did a speed dating thing. Did she really think we're gonna, like, date those normies? Like, it's crazy. Does any of them even play Coachella? I don't think so. I didn't even know, like, there was a name for this. Like, did you know, like, what? Speed dating? There's, like, a name for speed dating. Like, really? Seriously, like, I die. Like, did you think any of those guys were cute? Like, how ugly were they? They were so disgusting. They were so. Like, I was like, how desperate are these women who would actually want to date these people? Son's like, I thought they were all cute, and I was hoping they'd all give me their numbers, but that's okay.
Ronnie
Well, I'll tell you this. I would have thought it would be real cute if my phone rang, but they didn't, so they were all photos. Okay, that's where I'm gonna go with it. Well, I feel like I'm, like, so fresh out of marriage that I'm, like, enjoying not being married. Like, every guy that I met there, I just said, thank you so much for not being Raj. And, you know, that was good enough for me. So, like, would you get married again? And she's like, well, get this. I found out that over a year ago, my husband filed for an annulment in the Catholic church. Oh, my God. How would you know? Like to go to Catholic church?
Bose
No.
Ronnie
You get letters from them? Well, I did.
Ben
Why would you talk to the Catholic Church?
Ronnie
They're gross.
Ben
They're, like, not even celebrities. Like, maybe the puppet, like everyone else.
Ronnie
Not really. They love poverty.
Ben
Well, guess what? Within our church, our marriage never existed. Oh, yeah. Sort of like you on my social calendar.
Dorit Kemsley
Yes.
Ben
But when I got the letter from the Catholic church, it just came to. It came to the residents of Strack Brown. Oh, my God. I don't get it. Why do they add a color? Is that, like, your color palette? Strack Brown. They know my name. My maiden name is Brown. Oh, how unchic Roast.
Ronnie
And I just kept looking at it. Strike Brown. And you know what? Maybe I'll change my name back to Brown. Oh, God, don't do that.
Ben
No.
Ronnie
Why would you do that?
Ben
That's not the color of the year. Pantone's color. The year is white. Like, white houses, not brown houses.
Ronnie
Well, yeah, I dropped my married name the day I left. I mean, I never really took it. Let's be honest. But still, like, I would have. And she's like, well, the truth is, I'm not a strack. Yes, you are. You had those babies, and you can keep that name as long as you want. Your children name that. And if you want to keep that name, that's your name. Keep it. It's cuter than brown. Sorry. It is.
Ben
You need to. You need to, like, unstrack yourself. Like, you need to distract. Like. Like, guess what? You. I hope you get pulled over for texting. And the. And the police officer says you were a distracted driver because, like, you need to unstrack. Distract. Be less tracked. Be. Be. Extract. Extract. Extract. Yeah. Okay, Rachel, I'm going to stop you right now because I think you're having a little bit of a brain conniption, but I get what you're saying. I will take the track off.
Ronnie
I think it's just the last little thread, though. It's the last little thread that holds me together to that family.
Bose
You know what I mean?
Ronnie
And she says, I always felt like I could get Christian back whenever I wanted to. You know? And sometimes there's the time we talk and we get along, and I think, God, did I just win him back? Is he gonna take me back? Because he can take me back.
Ben
Sometimes when he calls up and he says, sutton, why am I paying for these things? You have to stop.
Dorit Kemsley
Stop coming in the middle of the.
Ben
Night and ringing the doorbell in my house and running away. I think, God, he does still love me. But now I'm realizing he don't.
Ronnie
So she's like, I just think about my grandchildren. I mean, Grandma and Grandpa Strike over there, the good ones, with all the houses, and I'm just Grand Mammy Brown. 14 dogs, 18 cats, a mother that won't die. You know how it is.
Dorit Kemsley
Ew.
Ben
You have 14 dogs and 18 cats. That's actually kind of gross. I'm gonna leave. It's your house. I know. I'm never coming back here again. It's your house now.
Ronnie
I'm literally burning this house down. Just get out. I have a Brown in my house with cats. Like, I can't.
Ben
When Kais comes back from camp, can you just give him that forwarding address? Just, like, send them there.
Ronnie
She's so funny, though. She goes. I mean, like, Sutton Brown. That's not bad. What's your middle name? Thurman. Okay, well, yeah, that's harder.
Ben
Harder.
Ronnie
All right, well, you're basically. And I was right to never go to any of your parties, but thanks for coming by. You want to take the puse? Say, I feel bad for You.
Ben
Do you mind if I just start calling you not Uma? Thanks so much. Now we have Alexia. Alexia and Kyle go to the florist. So I have to issue a massive apology, really only to my friend Neil. Because he turned 50 yesterday. And for his 50th birthday.
Ronnie
Happy birthday.
Ben
And for his 50th birthday, I got him the gift of outrage at me. Because I was saying such mean things about Gary's. And he was like, ben, I loved that. Scenic areas. It was everything I wanted. He's like, you're not. You're clearly not from the South. We're like registries and family registries. And everything is like everything. And I was like, I definitely am not. So I apologize to Neil because I would never want him to be upset on his 50th birthday. But I stand by everything I said. I do not think that Alexia is a Giri's kind of girl. But of course, ever since then, I've seen Gary's everywhere. I saw some TV show, someone brought something in the back that said Gary's. It's like Giri's is haunting me now.
Ronnie
You're. You're never going to get away from Gary's.
Ben
I'm never going to get away. So now Alexi and Kyle go to this florist. It's called Orchid Republic, which I don't know why I thought that was so funny. Like, welcome to Orchid Republic. And there's this lady Margarita, who is the floral designer. And she's like, so what sort of color scheme and flowers are you thinking about? And she's like, I don't really have a scheme.
Dorit Kemsley
I just. I do want like something colorful and bohemian.
Ben
Oh, you know, just like Yuri's. By the way, I just want to point out. God, I love all that bohemian stuff they have at Gary is the perfect match for Alexia.
Ronnie
My ten thousand dollar a plate china. You know, just something bohemian.
Erica Jane
Yeah, I want like wild, unique looking flowers. Like, you know, like, I'm into artichokes.
Ben
You know, those ladies, like you're in Beverly Hills right now and you want artichokes. Go back to Van Nuys.
Ronnie
That was funny though. I think that sounds pretty. Just put artichokes on the table.
Ben
It is pretty cute. I actually like Alex Vision for this. And Kyle's like Alexia's ideas get me.
Kyle Richards
A little stressed sometimes. Because like my wedding was like more traditional, kind of like black tie at.
Ben
Like a very like a country club.
Kyle Richards
And like I had 12 bridesmaids and.
Ben
Like very traditional flowers and Faye Resnick was there. And, like, we had, like, pink and white roses. And, like, Alexia is, like, my Earth child. She's, like a free spirit.
Kyle Richards
And she's, like, very eclectic.
Ben
I'm like, it all makes sense. Geary's. It totally makes sense why you bring her there. It totally matches Alexis aesthetic. I'm so glad you did that, Kyle.
Ronnie
So they look at stuff, and Carl's like, this is giving artichoke. And they just talk about her style and stuff and her bridesmaids. And she's like, so you're not gonna have bridesmaids? She goes, no, I am having bridesmaids, Mother. She goes, but you said you weren't having bridesmaids. She goes, but I am. Okay, so they're just not going to be in matching dresses? No, they're. They are going to be matching dresses. But you said you didn't want them in the same color. But they're still matching, though, Mother.
Bose
Oh, my God, this is so hard.
Ben
And I just want to point out that after Alexia says all this stuff about, like, how she just wants something, like, different and, like, bohemian and Kaz. Like, I just want my daughter to pick up pink and white flowers. She picks out pink and white flowers. Like, she just. After all this bohemian stuff, she just takes a. She gets, like. Chooses, like, a very generic, perfectly pretty wedding palette.
Ronnie
I think that she picked a couple of the, like, you know, frilly the different ones. And then Kyle added in the pink and the white ones as well because they didn't like, the pink, and the white went to the. Didn't look right with what the daughter had picked. You know, they looked out of place.
Ben
What I can't tell is. Is Alexia just trying on her, like, bohemian Persona because she thinks it's cool, but she's ultimately a Gary's girl down inside? Or is she a bohemian type and Kyle is forcing Agiri's Persona on her? I cannot figure that one out. And it keeps me up.
Ronnie
Well, I think it's not bohemian. I think it's, like, boho chic. Because this girl's not, like, gonna have some flex, you know. She's not gonna be like, let's get married in the. You know, the farm or whatever. So then, you know, Kyle, let's find a way for Kyle to make this about her.
Ben
Yes, seriously, you know.
Bose
Yeah.
Ben
Here comes pity party about the stupid ass scene. Oh, my God. This drove me nuts.
Kyle Richards
It's just strange to think that my daughter. I mean, our daughter is getting married. And, like, we're not together.
Ben
And when I look at Alexia and Jake getting married. I just hope that they have a long, happy marriage and they can always.
Kyle Richards
Trust each other and that neither one ever hurts each other. And I hope that Jake always looks at Alexia the way he looks at each other.
Ben
Kyle, you are this very sweet. And of course you will hurt her. And of course this marriage is gonna fail. So don't even. You don't even have to stress about it. Just know it will happen. And then you can release it and enjoy yourself.
Ronnie
Just enjoy it while it lasts. That's what I say. So Bose goes to a restaurant with Amanda. So they're gonna have lunch. And Amanda's like, can I have an iced tea?
Ben
She asked it. She's like, Like, I'm like, what is this voice that she's doing every time she's talked to the waiter? She's like, I'm like, ma'.
Dorit Kemsley
Am.
Ben
And so Bose is like, even when.
Ronnie
She ordered calamari, she's like, oh, my God, is this gluten free? Well, I haven't had it gluten free for a long time. I have to do the gluten free.
Bose
I was like, why?
Ben
I'm like, what is this weird high pitched voice you do with the wait staff?
Rachel Zoe
Gloomy.
Ben
What?
Rachel Zoe
I'm getting it.
Ronnie
That's funny. So Boz is like, I met Amanda.
Bose
At Jennifer Tilly's party.
Ronnie
And we see that they bonded because they both wore Balmain, which, you know, in Beverly Hills like your best friends.
Bose
So she's like, so she seems interesting. She likes Balmain and she's a businesswoman and she's getting married. So I want to get to know her more. Tell me everything, girl.
Ben
I feel like you're really, like, breezing over, like, how deep that connection was that party. So let's reenact it.
Kyle Richards
Whose jacket is that, by the way?
Ronnie
This is Balmain.
Kyle Richards
This is Balmain.
Ronnie
Oh, my God.
Erica Jane
Really?
Ronnie
Yeah.
Ben
That was was like, this is Balmain. This is Bellmane.
Bose
We're best counts now.
Ronnie
So then we see Amanda saying that she has a master's in counseling. So she's telling her about herself. So. So she's like, yeah, you know, like, I wasn't even in finance at all. Like, I have a master's in counseling. And so I decided, like, what can I do? So I made a personal development brand, you know, and I just was putting out really good content every day. I would, like, wear different clothes and talk about money. And so I started as a therapist and a life coach and then a business coach. And my audience just grew And I wanted to help more people, so I started making online courses that help people create professional personal lives of their dreams.
Ben
So then I started a digital course called Become a Life Coach.
Kyle Richards
Oh.
Ben
And then I found that I had a gift around money, but I'm not like a financial planner or I'm more like. It's more around like the energetic part.
Dorit Kemsley
Of money, the mindset part, the psychology around it.
Ben
When she said the. The energetic part of money, I was just, I was like this lady, she is, she is clearly a charlatan, but, like, I don't know, she's like a charlatan. I'm really enjoying. She's such a charlatan. And I know that she's gonna annoy so many people that I, I. She's not the hero I want, but maybe she's the hero I deserve.
Ronnie
Yeah. I'm not sure the jury is still out for me, but I am enjoying so far. So Amanda's like, well, yeah, I mean, that's what I became known for. And I have a best selling book called Riches as. Yeah.
Bose
She goes, oh, yes.
Ronnie
Yeah. So I became known as the money queen. It's like you became known that because you called yourself that in your book. Yes. What are we acting like? It's like writing your own reviews on a movie poster, you know?
Ben
Yeah. And Amanda says, yeah, I create courses on all kinds of things. So Dorit walks in, she goes, oh, my God. So I've been thinking about you a lot. I just like literally manifested you at this launch. Like, that's crazy that you're here. I've just been, like, sending you love and good vibes and like every day just like praying that you're getting some sleep. I just hope. I just worry, you know, like with that crazy 9 to 5 job of yours that you're just not getting enough sleep. Are you doing okay?
Ronnie
I also love how every time Dorit enters, how she compliments Bose because it's always so over the top. She's like.
Rachel Zoe
Translucent, transcendent Lucretius. Never seen anything like it.
Dorit Kemsley
Are we on the north side of Los Angeles now?
Ronnie
So, yeah, Amanda says, like, oh, Dorit, I've been praying for you and I hope you get sleep.
Rachel Zoe
And he's like, that is so sweet. My first impression of Amanda, to be honest, I didn't know what to make of her. But now hearing she was thinking of me all weekend and prayed for me, is incredibly kind and sweet and cooling.
Ben
Oh, my God, the calamar is gluten free. That never happens. I literally manifested the gluten. Gluten to be gone from the calamari today. And at long last, it happened. Wow.
Ronnie
Wow. Couldn't you manifest yourself a system that could handle gluten?
Ben
Yes. How about that?
Ronnie
Just concentrate on the important things in life. You wouldn't need to be rich if you could have gluten. Just saying that right now.
Dorit Kemsley
I'd like to talk about PK Now. What do I say? My ex husband. My. My husband. My. My Pringle. Pringle monster. What do I call him?
Kyle Richards
Estranged.
Dorit Kemsley
Yes. Well, he's very much an alpha male, but you. You know that, by the way, he trails around Mauricio every day. And he's a businessman, and he built a very big business in the UK and when the world tilted on its axis in 2008, he lost his business.
Ben
So she talks about how they didn't have a prenup and.
Ronnie
But what?
Ben
I guess when. But when they met, like, he was totally broke, so we had nothing to even to, like, worry about.
Ronnie
Right. So there was nothing to protect. So she says that she's like, oh.
Rachel Zoe
PK handled all the finances. I didn't have to do anything. And we had a business manager, so there was never a handoff. There was never an agreement. I just would find out, he's not going to pay this anymore.
Ronnie
And they're like, oh, no. You know, they're just looking at each other. Oh, God, this lady is so screwed.
Ben
Yeah, exactly. So Amanda's like, so you're living in the family home, and he's trying to not pay the mortgage, like, for example. So he's like, randomly has decided that, like, you're on your own is like, that.
Kyle Richards
What's happening?
Rachel Zoe
Well, he's paying the mortgage.
Erica Jane
I mean, he.
Rachel Zoe
Is he making X new? He knew he's not.
Ronnie
And so she says that for the 14. Last 14 years, PK has been paying most of the family's outgoings, but when they separated, he said the finances would stay the same. So she never really did anything about it. But then a month later, she got an email saying he decided he's no longer going to do that. And she's like, why this change all of a sudden? Dorit, have you never heard of men? This man dumped his family to be with you.
Rachel Zoe
What is.
Ronnie
What in the world made you think that this would be okay? Everybody was telling you last year, protect yourself. Protect yourself. Protect yourself. Protect yourself. Why would you. I mean, come on. And I know this happens a lot, so I'm not saying, like, oh, my.
Bose
God, you stupid women.
Ronnie
It's nothing like that. It's Dorit specifically. You knew that. You're married to a con man and a loser. And how are you doing this? Do you think he's just gonna pay for you? Whatever you want forever? Come on, Dorit. Come on.
Ben
Well, for you to have a fair position in mediation, you have to know what you're working with.
Dorit Kemsley
Like, do know about your retirement account, accounts, anything.
Rachel Zoe
Well, we don't even have one. As far as I'm concerned.
Ben
Nothing.
Rachel Zoe
I don't know.
Ronnie
I've yet to discover everything.
Rachel Zoe
And I can tell you where I am. It's a place called the unknown.
Ben
Lucretius suppose says that when. When her husband died, she had to, you know, raise lael on her own. And, like, you have to. You have to figure out where all the money is, and it's very tricky.
Ronnie
And.
Ben
And Amanda's shocked. Like, how do you turn a blind eye to all this stuff? I'm like, have you met Dorit? Actually, you haven't. You've just met her right now. Well, you'll find out how Dorit can. Can turn a blind eye very easily. Very, very easily.
Ronnie
Yeah. So Amanda's like, wow, yeah, you can't do this as a woman, you know? And Dorit says for PK he's a very complex person.
Rachel Zoe
And by that I mean a complex carb. And he's not a bad guy. Not a terrible bad guy. Does he smell like funyuns?
Kyle Richards
Yeah.
Rachel Zoe
But does he have some bad behavior? Absolutely. And then you throw drinking into the mix and the occasional cookie.
Ronnie
Cookie.
Rachel Zoe
And then for someone of his character, it gets even more complicated. And now not only that, my name is on everything.
Ronnie
So basically, he just saddled her with a bunch of debt and is now just gonna walk away her over, which pretty much everybody saw coming years ago, but. Right. Wow.
Ben
Right? So Bose basically turns to Amanda and.
Kyle Richards
Is like, well, well, what can do? Amanda, you're a financial guru. What can do we do proactively? Knowing what these. Knowing these unknowns, is there anything she can do to protect herself? Amanda, you have the floor to be the financial girl you proclaim yourself to be.
Ben
And she's like, here's your test, Amanda.
Ronnie
Let's give Amanda a test right now and see, because, you know, Bose already knows all this stuff.
Ben
Yeah. Here's some fail safe ways for you to protect yourself. First, I think you have to decide what you want, what you've been creating, and who you're going to be. And I know that's like, those are big, overarching Questions, But I am just put on the spot. So I'm just going to give you some, you know, classic and just make it sound very professional. So who do you want to be as a provider?
Dorit Kemsley
Who do you want to be as.
Ben
A woman who earns?
Dorit Kemsley
Who do you want to be as.
Ben
A woman who goes to Starbucks? Are you a grande person? Are you a Trente? Are you a Venti? What size drink do you like? Because that's going to inform how much money you're going to save.
Dorit Kemsley
Think about that.
Ben
Who are you paying?
Ronnie
Tails, ponytails, or a bun? Think about it. Think about that.
Ben
Hatchback or sedan? Okay. Is it a love seed? Do you like a love seat? Do you like a convertible?
Ronnie
What are you, Kyler Wood?
Ben
Yeah. Fluorescent or led?
Ronnie
What's your tang? Or battery acid? You have to really think about these things. And it sounds like a bunch of. She has no financial advice. Here is the financial advice that you need. You need a financial. What do you call it when the forensic person goes. A forensic accountant and a lawyer. That's what you need. Okay.
Kyle Richards
Lawyer.
Ronnie
Lawyer and a forensic accountant. Duh. Yep. Why is nobody saying that to her? It's making me nuts.
Bose
And Bose is like, wait a minute. What is this frou frou mess she's talking about? I was looking for one plus one equals two.
Ronnie
You're on the wrong show.
Ben
Hello? You're trying to get to read to do math. She doesn't even know what part of town she's in.
Bose
A provider. Does she want to be. What does that even mean? That's not financial advice. The math ain't mathing.
Kyle Richards
So, okay, let me give you some real financial advice. What sort of badass woman do you want to be?
Ben
Because that's the financial advice you need.
Kyle Richards
There we go. That's the real shit right there.
Ronnie
Yeah, that's actually what I wanted to hear from Bose because, I mean, you know, Bose is the one that I'm going to assume has it more together in the self help department than Amanda does, just because I so far like Bose, but. Wow, this is scary, man. Yikes, Porter. Literally.
Ben
Yikes.
Ronnie
Yeah.
Ben
Yeah. So that is the episode. We'll see how it goes. Yeah, it's not gonna. It's not gonna be good for Dorit because PK is crafty and I feel like he's gonna rake to read over the coals. I think it's gonna be bad.
Ronnie
But he's already set her up for complete failure by putting everything in her name and then walking off and refusing to pay it. So we Not Jacks.

Hosts: Ben Mandelker & Ronnie Karam
Date: December 19, 2025
Theme: An exuberant, catty breakdown of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills S15E03, focusing on the “all the single ladies” matchmaking party, the housewives’ contrasting personalities, and peeling back the layers of on- and off-camera drama.
Tone: Campy, irreverent, Bravo-loyal, deftly mocking but with atypical insight.
Ben and Ronnie serve up a laugh-filled, detailed take on RHOBH S15E03, where newly single housewives (and longstanding singles) dive into an orchestrated speed dating party hosted by Bose. The episode jumps between ridiculous moments at the party, discussions of manifestation, finances, and the women's messy personal lives, closing out with genuine (and not-so-genuine) moments of vulnerability.
“All these self-help gurus… they may be helpful, but there is a good amount of bullshit that comes with it too, you know?” (05:01, Ben)
“Rich.” – Erica
“Wealthy.” – Dorit
“Lots of money.” – Dorit again
“Old as fuck. I want almost dead. Pasty balls down to his ankles.” – Erica (13:54)
“I want to look like I could give you a blow job in the back alley, but I might not.” (15:07, Erica Jane, as impersonated by hosts)
“There’s two ways of me – Erica Jayne, she can do anything … but Erica is very nervous. Very nervous.” (22:38, mimicry)
“I don’t know what side I live on. I live in a place called the Vili. Have you heard of it?” (30:34, Dorit as imitated by Zoe/hosts)
“Did anyone else die when I said that? Like, literally? Just, you know what? Turn off all the machines. I’m dead.” (20:26, paraphrased)
“Please take the card of the hot man that didn’t like you. Oh, gosh. I just want to prove that I’m a good friend.” (39:05, Erica via hosts)
“It’s complicated.” (47:08)
“Kyle’s always yammering about every single thing in her life … and now suddenly she’s the one we have to coax to be vulnerable?” (47:26, Ben)
“Within our church, our marriage never existed. Oh, yeah. Sort of like you on my social calendar.” (62:08, Ben channeling Rachel)
“Kids who are already rich, just teaching them to be obsessed with money and only money, you’re raising four assholes. I’m telling you that right now. At least three of those kids are going to be sociopath assholes. Prove me wrong in 20 years.” (58:31)
“You have to decide what you want, what you’ve been creating, and who you’re going to be…” (78:11, Amanda as paraphrased and mocked by Ronnie)
“What is this frou frou mess she’s talking about? I was looking for one plus one equals two. … The math ain’t mathing.” (79:37)
On Beverly Hills Self-Help Gurus:
“This is a battle between the seminar queens!” (02:31, Ben)
On Speed Dating Attendees:
“Is this a receiving line or is it like a flat line? Cause like I’m the flat line. I’m like dead.” (21:51, Rachel/hosts)
On Manifesting Money:
“She just posted a picture of her baby in a crib covered in hundred dollar bills. Don’t raise assholes.” (57:58, Ronnie)
Roasting Amanda’s Financial Advice:
“What kind of badass woman do you want to be? Because that’s the financial advice you need.” (80:06, Ben as Amanda, jabbing at empty self-help)
Summing Up Dorit’s Divorce Disaster:
“You’re married to a con man and a loser. And how are you doing this? Do you think he’s just gonna pay for you? Whatever you want forever? Come on, Dorit. Come on.” (76:04, Ronnie)
| Timestamp | Segment | |--------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------| | 01:53–11:18 | Bose vs. Amanda: Battle of the Self-Help Brands | | 11:18–23:02 | The Matchmaking Party: Set-up, cast dynamics, roast of bachelors| | 23:15–39:03 | Speed dating chaos, awkward banter, and cringeworthy moments | | 39:03–48:47 | Aftermath: Card snatching and “vulnerability” pressure on Kyle | | 51:49–59:34 | Rachel & Sutton: Annulment gossip and biting humor | | 70:05–80:29 | Dorit’s divorce finances and Amanda’s pseudo-advice dissected |
This episode is a comedic masterclass in Bravo recapping: masterful sarcasm, a relentless spotlight on the cast’s delusions and foibles, and an uncanny ability to balance derision with genuine reflection. The matchmaking event was a bust for romance but a bonanza for cringe and comedy, Amanda Francis faces increasing skepticism from the hosts, and Dorit’s financial naïveté is laid bare. Kyle’s “privacy” arc raises eyebrows, but the fun is in the Ben & Ronnie antics, not the housewives’ romantic prospects.
For anyone who hasn’t watched the episode, this summary captures the heart, humor, and buzzy banter — you’ll know every inside joke, shade, and disaster, and still want to tune in for more.
