January 8, 2026
Hosted by Ben Mandelker & Ronnie Karam

Episode Overview

In this riotously energetic installment, Ben and Ronnie recap and dissect the latest double serving of Vanderpump Rules (Season 12 Episodes 4 & 5), focusing on the cast’s escalating inter-personal dramas, shifting friendships, questionable romantic choices, and a healthy dose of absurdity. With signature snark, the hosts eviscerate the show’s events—from betrayal among friends to cringe-inducing OnlyFans journeys—while highlighting Bravo’s unique ability to showcase lovable yet exasperating reality stars.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Venus-Kim-Marcus-Natalie Friendship Catastrophe

• Venus and Marcus’s Fallout:
  • Marcus sent Venus a friendship-ending text after Venus suggested he stand up for Natalie against Kim (00:41).
  • Ben: “Marcus escalated it and they're acting like Venus, out of the blue, just came for them.” (00:59)
  • Ronnie: “Venus was too much. Also, Venus betrayed Kim...he was telling Marcus to go stand up for Natalie against Kim.” (01:08)
• “The Property of the Gay Friend” Trope:
  • The hosts dig into Kim feeling that Venus belongs to her as her "gay best friend," leading to feelings of betrayal.
  • “It’s like, that's my gay friend and my gay friend wouldn’t even be there for me and stands up for this other girl instead.” (02:45)
• Status Resolution:
  • The group recognizes that Venus is not property, and that Kim is being unreasonable in her demands for loyalty.

2. Angelica & Jason’s Disaster Date: Jiu Jitsu Edition

• Angelica’s Martial Arts Credentials vs. Jason’s Awkwardness:
  • Angelica, a two-time black belt in taekwondo, meets Jason for a jiu jitsu date; he’s clueless about the discipline and fumbles badly (07:13).
  • Jason manhandles Angelica inappropriately during practice: “He's getting too aggressive with her...swinging her around and slamming her to the ground...she's grossed out.” (08:53)
• Jason’s Serial Lying:
  • Amid grappling, Jason blurts out that he lied about not having been involved with someone else at the time he met Angelica, admitting he was “kinda, like, talking to somebody.” (09:24)
  • Ben: “Who you truly are is a liar.” (10:03)
  • Angelica, unamused, refuses his kiss after the confession.
• Snap Judgment:
  • Ronnie: “So, like, impressively dumb in a way that, like, was refreshing to see.” (12:09)

3. The Chris & Jason OnlyFans Hustle (Mother’s Day Special)

• Comedic Commentary on OnlyFans:
  • Chris and Jason produce Mother’s Day content—while in leopard underwear—riffing on being “mama’s boys” and poking fun at each other’s porn names and the adult content hustle. (12:40)
  • Hilarious suggestion: “You can take these flowers and stick them up your cornhole and take a photo of it. That’s for you, Mom.” (13:05)
• Journey to LA & Hustling Hard:
  • Both recount their broke LA days—living out of cars, eating cat food for protein (“cat food tastes like canned tuna” (19:31)), and using trash bags for warmth. This transitions into their decision to monetize their looks via OnlyFans out of financial necessity.
  • Jason: “I was shredded. I love that. That’s what he prioritized.” (19:42)
• Instant Fame & Sordid Research:
  • The hosts Google the boys’ OnlyFans aliases (‘Italian Stallion 3’ and ‘Axel Stone’), noting the saturation of the market and the absurdity of the business.

4. Shane’s “Ethical Non-Monogamy” Routine

• Overt Dating Strategy:
  • Shane boasts about his transparency in dating multiple women, narrating back-to-back dates—Kristen, then Karina—while awkwardly explaining away texts from one woman in front of another (25:10).
  • Shane’s justification: “Ethical nominal is making sure up front a woman knows your intentions are not for exclusive commitment. Kristen’s dating other people and she’s cool with it.” (29:02)
  • Ben: “What you're describing is just like, guys being like...we can see other people. That's not ethical non-monogamy.” (29:10)
• Tattoo Explanation & Trauma Dump:
  • Hilarious detour as Shane explains his “devil reaching for hope” tattoo, using his gunshot wounds to impress dates and overshare traumas as a flirtation tactic. (27:42)

5. The Penis Pump Fiasco & Apartment Hijinks

• Audrey’s Discovery:
  • Audrey, recounting a night at Chris and Jason’s, stumbles on a penis pump and ‘butt toy’ in the guest bathroom, then describes a surreal confrontation with the pump itself: “Me and the penis pump locked eyes. And I was like, 'Hey.' And it was like, 'What are you doing here?'” (35:18)
• Public Bathroom Debates:
  • The hosts argue if a penis pump is fair game for public ridicule if placed in a communal bathroom, foreshadowing drama teased for the next episode.

6. Club Antics: The Abbey Showdown (and Homie-Hopping)

• Group Outing:
  • At The Abbey, things escalate as Angelica, newly hurt (literally and figuratively) by Jason, flirts with Shane—with Chris intervening, feigning protectiveness and invoking “bro code.” (44:14)
• Memorable Putdown:
  • Angelica: “Did he just, like, use his penis pump to come over here and box me?” (45:06)
• Hosts’ Verdict:
  • Ben: “I support it just because Jason was a dick and he deserves to be left behind.” (46:59)
  • Ronnie: “They weren't dating. Come on. Give me a break. That guy...so stupid.” (47:04)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Jason’s Confessional Fashion:
  • “I would like to know why he's dressed like he's a long lost cast member of the movie Widows. Why does he look like he's trying to break into a mansion and steal a vase?” (05:47, Ben)

• On Penis Pump Incident:
  • “Me and the penis pump locked eyes. And I was like, 'Hey.' And it was like, 'What are you doing here?'” (35:18, Audrey, relayed by hosts)

Overall Tone & Takeaways

Ben & Ronnie bring their usual irreverent, lovingly-mocking tone—oscillating between genuine appreciation for the show’s entertainment value (“You cannot tell me this show is not entertaining. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This is a good ass show.” (03:14)), and gleeful evisceration of cast member behavior.

If you missed the episode, rest assured: frenemies are still fighting, men are still being absurd, and the cycle of flirtation, betrayal, and Bravo-brand messiness spins ever on.
