Tone & Style Notes

Ben and Ronnie’s commentary is irreverent, affectionate, and loaded with pop culture references. Their conversational, fast-paced humor—peppered with impressions, callbacks, and mock outrage—makes the recap as engaging as it is critical of the cast’s antics. Rants about Bravo-adjacent culture (food, pet names, party etiquette) add to the sense of a Bravo-watching community “mocking because we love.”

Hello and welcome to Watch what Crapins, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about, Ben Mandelker. Joining me today is my fellow comrade, the only, the only one I could share so much time with. It's Mr. Ronnie Caram. Hi, Ronnie. How are you?

[C]

Good, Ben. How are you, you sweet little dumpling?

[D]

I'm just great. I just saw you moments ago.

[C]

You sure did.

[D]

Real life, baby.

[C]

Real life. Sing real life.

[D]

We look like we're a gender reveal right now because you're wearing pink and I'm wearing light blue. It's like, what's, what's the baby gonna be?

[C]

But we're gonna let the baby decide. That's what. My friends. When I had a baby shower like 10 years ago for our friend group child, we were having a baby shower and we were choosing colors for the baby shower and I was like, well, I mean, it's pretty easy, pink or blue. And the mom was like, we don't know what gender the baby is going to identify as yet. And I was like, oh, for Christ's sake. Really? So what do you do? What do you even do? We're deciding this early that we're not going to decide. But I am anti gender reveal in general. So, you know, I like it. She was ahead of her time. I'll give her that.

[D]

She was.

[C]

She was ahead of her time.

[D]

I'm very anti gender reveal. Which is funny because we'll be talking at least very briefly about that later today. We are here to talk about Southern charm. Before we get into that, in case you didn't hear, the crappies are happening on February 27th. We, our roster of guests is, is coming together quite nicely. Very excited for that and it's going to be a great night at the Fonda in Hollywood. There will be also live streaming, but those details, o you don't get those just yet. You'll have to wait. You have to hold please. Please hold. First you must check out the Magic of Nicoline. No, it will be available for streaming like it was last year, so that will be great. But tickets are [e-mail] for the in person tickets. There are not a lot left so we encourage people to go get them before it's too late. In fact, I went to buy tickets for a whole separate event later in the year and it was sold out because I waited too long and now I'm like sad for myself. So don't be like me. But anyway, patreon.com watch what crappens get ad free so you can do that if you want. Also crappings on demand. You can check out our light pink and light blue shirts. And we also have weekly bonuses Traders. Oh my God. Can't wait for later tonight. Traders episode. We'll be talking all about that tomorrow. So that's all the good stuff. That's all the really good, great stuff to talk about.

[C]

That's all news is fit to print. Okay.

[D]

All the news.

[C]

I would also like to thank the lighting in here today because my. One cheekbone is lit. Look at that. Look at that. Just one lit. It's like. That's beautiful.

[D]

The wallflowers. One cheekbone, except without a headlight. Well, it's a very nice.

[C]

It's.

[D]

It's, you know, that's like very cinema. That's like very. That's cinema. That's cinema. You know, like to get the. The outline. I don't have my. Oh, I don't have my lighting on, but whatever. Today we're talking about something that's not cinematic. It's Southern charm. The. The opposite. Something that did not get any Oscars, that got reverse Oscars. It's Southern charm.

[C]

Southern charm. It's only one corn. I want corn. If I see corn, I'm gonna eat it. I'm gonna eat it. So here we are.

[D]

Southern sinners.

[C]

What?

[D]

I said it could be described as sinners, but like a different kind.

[C]

Sinners. Yeah, basically the same thing. Southern charm. Season 11, episode 8 engaged in battle.

[D]

After another Academy Award nominee.

[C]

I was gonna watch that movie and then I read the description. It was like a man's daughter was kidnapped and he has to go. How many movies are going to be about a man, some manly man going to get his daughter who was kidnapped? Like, how many daughters are kidnapped that the dads are running after? And like having a whole movie about it. It's been like 20 movies. I'm sick of this lot. How is that winning an Oscar? Was it good? Yes or no? Tell me the truth.

[D]

It actually is really good. And if it makes you feel any better, Leonardo DiCaprio plays a dad trying to save his daughter. And he's very inept. He's very inept at it. So if it's anything, how old is the daughter? She's like 16 or 17, but dating.

[C]

Age, I'm very awkward.

[D]

It's. It's about a lot of things, but definitely, you know, toxic masculinity. Feels like it's on the. On the menu of things it's targeting. So, you know, I enjoyed it quite a bit, so I think you might enjoy it as well.

[C]

I'm not gonna find out because I refuse to give that but anymore my hard earned tax dollars.

[D]

Well, you know what? Take a stand. I support it.

[C]

I am. I'm taking a stand. So we're at Sally's house. And Sally, someone who's never taken a stand, is now stuck with these fucking chickens that she got to flirt with Craig. She's got her flirting chickens. Her needy, flirting chickens. She's stuck with them now. So she's carrying them in a plastic crate outside, and she's like, oh, my God, I love you guys, but you're so stinky. Are you not dating Austin yet? Because I feel like you're going to be saying that a lot of the time.

[D]

I know. I'm like, enough about the guys. Talk about the chickens. Also, has she even handled these chickens before? She looked like she never even dealt with them. She was so, like, what?

[E]

Huh?

[C]

I don't think you ever get used to dealing with chickens. They're not easy. Look at them. They're pecking you. They're running around. They're just not soft, cuddly creatures. That's why the first person. The first person tried to cuddle with the chicken. It didn't work, and they finally just strangled the chicken and ate it. They got so upset. That's how chicken nuggets came into existence.

[D]

I'll tell you who knows their way around the chicken. Gonzo. I mean, Gonzo and Priscilla, the love affair. It's just that they have such a tender relationship, you know?

[C]

Yeah, that's romantic. It was one for the ages.

[D]

That was.

[C]

Now, if that guy was starring in one battle after another, I'd be in.

[D]

Like, where's Priscilla?

[C]

I'd be into that, blowing up.

[D]

But I think Sally, it's. It's so. This chicken thing is so sad, and it's such a. It's a small part of this episode. It's really only this moment. But she literally bought three living chickens and a coop just to impress Craig. It's really one of the saddest displays. I'm sure at the reunion, she'll say, no, no, no, no, no. I actually was like, I really wanted to get chickens, and I was on the fence. And then, like, Craig inspired me to, like, you know, to do it.

[C]

But.

[D]

But, like, I didn't do it for Craig. I did it for me. And, like, that's fine, but, like, no, you bought it for Craig. You bought the chickens for Craig.

[C]

You did it for Craig. You did it for Craig. And that's, you know, you. You shouldn't ever get chicken. Chickens are temporary. They're edible, tiny. They. They. They don't have, like, the longest lifespan. Get a baby. I mean, well, have you learned nothing? Like, if you want to keep a man, you have A baby or you get a baby. That's what you do.

[D]

All that she wants is another baby. Then she's gone tomorrow, but she's putting these chickens in the crate and she's like, yeah, sort of struggling with it. Their names are cantaloupe, coconut, and popcorn, which I.

[C]

You're naming food after food. Hey, guys, I'm having a burger today. I'm calling it a ham. I guess that's close to it. A hamburger. I'm having a burger today, so I'm going to call it a popsicle. Why would you do that? Stop naming your food food.

[D]

But also, like, at least, like, don't establish two thirds of a pattern and not see it all the way through. Cantaloupe and coconut. So first of all, they both start with C. These are both C word chickens, and they're both fruit, Coconut and cantaloupe. And then all of a sudden, she goes to Popcorn. Like, what are you thinking? What is wrong with you? Why are you such a lunatic? Why is northerner, right? But like, why is the third. The third one should be. I don't know. I mean, is there another sea fruit?

[C]

You're a northerner because corn is a vegetable and.

[D]

But Popcorn.

[C]

Popcorn is a vegetable in the South. I know, but I'm saying, like, if you. If it makes sense, if you think of it as a southerner because she's naming her chickens after fruits and vegetables, which makes sense, you know, But I just feel.

[D]

But honestly, I'm going to reject it. I will take my northerner status. I will be a Yankee about this. I feel like you got two fruits. Like, you could go kumquat, but that is not spelled with a C. But it does. Kumquat does. It sort of sounds dirty with this cast. Kumquat. But, like, I just. I'm offended by her naming conventions. I just think she can do so much better.

[C]

Yeah, I think she could. But then you remember it, Sally, and she can't. I'm going to name these chickens. Opens the fridge. Coconut.

[D]

It's, you know. And, you know, I hate. I hate, like, naming one thing after another sometimes. Like, I've explained this a lot. I don't understand why people name their dogs Bear. Like, that's a strange thing to me. And it's like the same thing. Why are you naming your chickens after other food? I would.

[C]

You do have a lot of weird pet pet rules. Like, you don't want any of your. You don't want to name pets after other animals, and you also don't want them named after humans like you have, like.

[D]

No, I like them named after humans. I like. I actually think it's really funny when they're named after humans like Bob.

[C]

I think you used to be against that until you met like a. A Gladys or something, that you liked the dog and changed your rules.

[D]

No, no, I. I just am amused. I'm amused by formal human names for pets. Like I said, there was a TV show called the Great American Dog on CBS years ago, and there was a little Maltese named Andrew, and I thought that was the funniest thing. Like, that someone named their dog Andrew and was also like a formal version of a name. So I'm. I'm okay with it. I'm very amused by that. But I'm less. I just feel like it's just strange to name your dog another animal. It's just. It's. It's like people do it all the time. They name their dogs Bunny or Penguin. Bear is common. You know, bears. Captain Sandy has one named Little Bear. Like, it's a dog, though. It's a dog. Anyway, I vote that the third chicken be renamed Clementine because that also sounds more of like a chicken name than Popcorn, actually.

[C]

Right. But that also wouldn't work because that's a type of apple. It's not an apple. You know what I mean? So she's saying. She's not saying like a type of coconut or a type of cantaloupe. She's calling the. So it would need to be like, banana, you know, cherry, maybe.

[D]

But cherry is like. It's a C word. But it's like a.

[C]

So it's a cherry skew. Yeah, cherry's.

[D]

Cherry's cute.

[C]

Yeah. So I would just name them Need a. And Man. Just call them Need a Man. And I'm willing to do anything, even put the. Even put the innocent lives of these chickens at stake for a man. Pick me, girl. Yeah, chick me, girl. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Grappens commercial.

[C]

So she does. She's like, oh my God, I'm terrified of popcorn. Of course, the only carb the thin girls like. Oh my God. And popcorn is horrible. Does fit. She's not popcorn. And she screams. She screams and drops popcorn. Because popcorn isn't easy. You know why? Because you're keeping popcorn prisoner so that you could steal its unborn children to eat every day. Wonder why popcorn's upset? I wonder.

[D]

It also may be that whole thing about being kept in captivity that might be upsetting popcorn as well.

[C]

Yeah, it's like room the chicken version, you know, like knows nothing else. But Sally. Coming.

[D]

We need Galena to come in and liberate these chickens for real safely. Yeah.

[C]

So then we go over to Madison's house and she's Just lounging on the couch, acting like she's binging out. It's, like, so crazy to see Madison eating guys, isn't it? She's eating skinny Pop. Like, smart pop, whatever the fuck she's eating. Like, come on, Madison. Get some fucking ice cream. If you want me to go into your. Like, I'm a mom, and I'm eating everything I see. Well, then get some fucking ice cream. I want to see eating peanut butter out of the container. I want to see you eating bread out of the bag. You know, the. The sliced bread out of the bag. Just dump it in the peanut. But I've been eating like a pregnant woman my whole life. I know how it's done, Madison. Try harder, skinny pie.

[D]

One popcorn after another. Am I right? So she is finding out whether or not dogs can have popcorn. And guess what, Karen. Oh, my God. See, here's a perfect example.

[C]

Karen.

[D]

A dog named Karen, which I'm so amused by. Karen is the popcorn is. Is approved for Karen. So Madison starts throwing popcorn for Karen, and Karen is a little slow on the uptake. Not gonna lie. Karen is like one of those dogs that stares at the bowl. I can have the bowl of popcorn. She's like, I literally just threw some over there. Turn around, Karen. But she gets it. Karen gets it eventually.

[C]

No, no, Madison was not throwing the popcorn. She was pretending to throw it. She was going and fake throwing it and then going and fake throwing it. And the dog was like, what the fuck? Like, Karen's just down there, like, do not make me call the manager. I'm named Karen. And then she was. She actually threw it. And then Karen's like, thanks a lot. Thanks for making. And now I get to eat a piece of fucking popcorn after you've made me feel like a moron. Thanks.

[D]

Karen's like, I was told there'd be chicken. Isn't there a chicken named Popcorn for me?

[C]

Sorry. Yeah, I can't be the only one getting fat. Karen. Thick girl Summer. Okay. And I really did like when she said, y', all, if I see it, I'm going to eat it. We like, that is the best thing Madison's ever said.

[D]

So she refrains from eating her phone and instead uses it to call Craig to FaceTime him. And he's like, I love that you're snacking right now. She's like, I know. Look. Look at this. And then she holds up her popcorn.

[C]

And one little kernel of popcorn.

[D]

Yeah, you know what? This is when I really am feeling what you just said. Like, if you're Gonna brag about what you're snacking on. Like, it should be melty. It'll be something chocolatey. Melty or cheesy or something. But, like, look at Madison.

[C]

She cares so much about her calories, and she's pinging out on smart pop.

[D]

So, Craig, cookie, okay? A levain cookie. A big, chunky cookie that's too big for its own good.

[C]

Yeah. So Craig, who's got the mental prowess of the popcorn, gives her a call, and they talk about snacking. And what are you laughing at?

[D]

Because I know, like, you were just, like, going on to the next line, but when I was like, give her levain cookie something too big. And you just go, yeah, because you know what?

[C]

I know what's happening with you over there. I see it coming. I see that you're working yourself up. And now that you said cookie, you're gonna just start naming shit that you want to eat right now. Because I also know that you're hungry because we just had a meeting before here, and you were saying, I'm hungry and I need a bagel. And I know that that means that through this entire recap, you're gonna find reasons to talk about all the food that you're dreaming of eating. And it just started. I knew it was gonna happen. And you said the levain cookie. So I was like, do I just move on or do I give into that, you know?

[D]

No, I know. Like, that's why it was so funny to me, because you had that look like, okay, Ben is. Ben is out of control today.

[C]

Ben's gonna start, like, even at the radio, when we were in the studio, we were on a commercial break or something, and you guys started talking about fucking calories. And when you. When you're all together and listen, I've talked about. I'm so fat. And my. My whole show. My whole time on this show, my whole life, I've done it. So I know how hypocritical it is. You guys, you three queens, Jeff, you and what's his buns, Shane. All go in. You all go in. You talk about calories and what you're eating. You feel so fat. And then Annie starts. And then the other one, Kian, starts. Then you're all talking about fucking calories. And then it goes into a segment, and then we spend the rest of our time on this radio show talking about everybody's fucking protein intake for the day. And I just knew. I knew it was coming.

[D]

I know.

[C]

Because you know what? You make me hungry so much about.

[D]

Weight loss and Then I was like, okay, you need to eat.

[C]

You're like, I've spent years listening to you talk about weight loss. And I was like, okay, okay.

[D]

Well, I feel like everyone gets to talk about GLP ones and everyone gets to talk about Ozempic. And like, the moment I talk about, like, I decided to cut out carbs, it's like, I guess it's because, like, pass that.

[C]

The moment it's every you. You're cutting out carbs. Every other day. You're like, guys, guess what? Today I'm cutting out carbs.

[D]

The crappies are coming up. It's horrible.

[C]

Stop cutting out carbs. Carbs deserve.

[D]

I'm obviously not doing it. I'm obviously not doing it. I had a recent peanut butter cup for breakfast in the green room, so I'm obviously not doing it, so I have to talk it out so that way I feel better about myself.

[C]

You have nothing to feel better about. You're already amazing. Gorgeous.

[D]

Okay, that's it. Stop it.

[C]

That's it. So, okay, so they're still talking about food, just like us. My plan did not work, apparently, I guess, is the point. So Craig's like, well, I just wanted to call and touch base because, like, I was so excited to come over for girls night because, you know, it was my idea to sneak over. Austin doesn't have ideas. It was just my idea. But then, like, Austin's, like, hammered and he's, like, angry, and I'm like, I'm just gonna go home because you're, like, hammered and angry. And I've done absolutely nothing, like, turn on one of my good friends for no reason on television and publicly and tried to shame her and throw her name in the mud just because I didn't want to date her.

[D]

And Madison's like, well, I will say that.

[C]

Why not?

[D]

When Austin showed up, Sally just started really talking really bad about you, just like the beta that she is. And Craig's like, really?

[C]

That's not cool though, either, Madison. That's not really how it happened. Sally didn't just start shit talking Craig. She was told that Craig was just shit talking her and throwing her under the bus and saying that she was a tornado and everything else. He said tornado, but I heard what he really meant.

[D]

Tornado. So then we see a flashback to all that and everything that happened. So Madison's like, I mean, Sally, she.

[C]

Has feelings for you.

[D]

You know, she bought chickens. Stupid, stupid. And Craig's like, I know, but she would have no reason to think I was into her just because I said, like, we should have sex, you know. Yeah.

[C]

Chickens together. And you should stay at my house after we've been in the hot tub all night together. Wherever. Did she get the impression that I liked her?

[D]

She's like wifey material. I don't know why she got the impression that I liked her. So she's basically like. Well, I'm sure the flirting and the text messages had to factor into all of that. We see a recap of those text messages where the primary offender was that she said, I should have stayed. And he was like, you could have said if you wanted. She's like, well, invite me next time. So that's like their big flirtatious moment, which I think is pretty flirty, I think, late at night.

[C]

Yeah. And he did say, I mean, so the text. Yeah, it was fun. I should have stayed. Yeah, you could have if you wanted. I did want. Invite me to stay next time. Sleep well. See you next week. You too. So it's, you know, it could have just meant you can stay if you're too drunk to go home. Like, I don't care. I have a couch. I live in a house. But, you know, I think staying out, like, coming back and partying until like, four in the morning with some girl who, you know, likes you. And you talk about chickens. You were flirting, Craig. Okay. You were.

[D]

Especially because later in the episode, he. He says that, like, when the two of them were left alone, she stood there sort of like, waiting for a kiss. And he kind of had to be like, see you later. So he knew there was, like, she was into him at that point. And if she's saying, I should have stayed at that point, you. At that point, if you want to diffuse, you say something like, oh, it's all good. We're going to have so much fun with our friends this summer. Like, you just. You can sort of. You can put it up, but you don't say, like, you could have stayed. Like, that's not how you diffuse. If you're. If you see that someone's into you and you're not into them, there is a way to maybe push the mixed signals back in the other direction. And he was like, no, he loved the attention. I just like. And. And he, like, he is all about it. He's gonna. And he keeps likes keeping options open for himself because that's what a lot of bros do.

[C]

Yeah. So she's like, well, what did you mean by that when you were. When you were saying, you can stay? And he's like, well, she and shepherd in the kitchen and they had separate Ubers. And then Shep left first. And then she turned around and she gave me a hug and just. Just, like, stood there looking at me. And I was like, all right, get home safe. And then. Yeah, then that's when she texted me. I mean, what am I. What do you do when a girl says that? Like, I should have stayed. Like, you're supposed to say, no, you shouldn't. Like, what am I supposed to say in that situation?

[D]

You literally do. You do the haha. Do I? Actually, that's what you should have said.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Not in the middle, but also, like, you're joking, right? Because clearly we don't have any sort of romantic connection.

[C]

No, I think you should send her the emoji that everyone knows means go home. An eggplant and a.

[D]

Go home and make fireplace parmesan. Everyone knows.

[C]

Yeah. A fire cook, eggplant, eggplant cook and a heart. And then the lips that are like the Lisa Renal is.

[D]

And then now Craig does his favorite thing, which is to infantilize himself to be cute and sweet and incapable of being a bad guy. So he goes, I'm just a dumb boy. And I laughed out loud in trouble.

[C]

Because we always say that as the guys on this show. I'm just a boy. So when they actually say it, I crack up. He's like, I'm just a dumb boy. Million dollar smile.

[D]

Yeah, seriously. I mean, I have a crush on Charlie. Little kindergarten crash on Charlie. I'm a little boy. And I'm concerned that this whole thing is going to stress her out and be like, if Sally likes Craig, it's easier to just, like, not go hang out with him. Like, that's my biggest fear. Like, okay, also, if you really, like.

[C]

If you really like Charlie over Sally and you. You all were hanging out in the hot tub and blah, blah, blah. The easiest way to friend zone Sally would have been one of the nights that Charlie wasn't there, which there have been plenty of. I'm sure that you say, hey, who are you into? And then wait till she doesn't say. And then you say, yeah, I'm really into Charlie. I really like Charlie. Boom. Friend zoned. Done. But you know, you can't because you like to keep them both on the hook.

[D]

Meanwhile, Charlie's, like, in her own independent film over here, just, like, slowly unraveling over the course of the season over the stupid Craig thing. Because now we go crafting with her, right? Doesn't it feel like she's in some movie where she should be like, At a supermarket, like, putting things in her cart and, like, hair coming out and, like, crying. I mean, she's like. She's just hide herself over this stupid situation.

[C]

She is. She's really stressed out over it.

[D]

I thought she was gonna be so much more self possessed. I thought she'd be like, I'm the hot girl. I'm here now. I call the shots. And said, she's like, what do I do? Should I even go to this? I can't even go to Starbucks. I don't want to get the same order as Sally. She'll be mad at me.

[C]

Oh, no.

[D]

But we both love lattes.

[C]

Can I even show myself in the craft studio? What is everybody gonna think about me? Oh, my God, just give me a scar. Can I make a scarlet letter and just put that on my sweater? Can I just make a scarlet letter?

[D]

Oh, I think Sally's gonna be mad at me. If I go into a color Me mind. Can we call it color me hours? I just don't want to feel like I'm taking something from her.

[C]

So she's there with Molly, and they look like they're in two different shows too, because Molly's. I don't know what Molly said, but I love. I love Molly. I don't know what she's doing half the time, but I really like her. Really, like, her energy. Her energy is just like, what, I made this dress. And, like, I don't care what you're saying right now, like, what, I'm trying to paint a fucking dress. Coffee mug.

[D]

Molly truly makes no sense. I love her too. She's so funny. But, like, she doesn't seem to have any true relationships with these girls. She sort of drifts in and scoffs and then goes home and looks for a snake that's hidden somewhere. And, like, she just sort of, like, grafted onto this show, like, superimposed onto it. And, like, has no impact on anything. But, like, also one of my favorite parts of it. So, yeah, I don't really understand her.

[C]

So I'll take it. Yeah, I really like it. And I just like, she. She always has this look on her face where her eyes are squinted, and she just looks like, you're an idiot. You know, she just looks at you like, you're so stupid. So she's with Charlie, and Charlie's like, so have you ever been here before? You think anybody recognizes me as the whore that I am? Oh, my God, I'm a terrible person.

[D]

Molly's like, no, but I do kind of like this stuff. And she And Charlie's like, are you crafty the way I am? I'm such a crafty bitch. Oh, my God. And she's like, yeah. They both seem so unenthused by this that they have to. I feel like they were paid, and they, like, have to pretend like they care about crafting because they both seem like, this is awful. But, like, yeah, I love crafting. Let's craft.

[C]

Craft. Well, they can only shoot so many scenes at a park bench. You know, I think they've. They've hit their limit. So Charlie tells us. I'm not a creative person by any means. I mean, that's why I like working in an art gallery. I mean, I look at art, I like selling it, not doing it. Well, don't worry. You're in a fucking craft store. It's not like no one's expecting much from you.

[D]

I know you're not, like, in the Yellow house with Van Gogh, expected to turn out some sort of, like, portraits of masterpieces. You're just.

[C]

I do a little. Yeah, you're making a mosaic. Like, it'll be okay. I do craft night when I'm in Texas with my sister and nieces. It's always so fun, and my sister stresses out so much, and we're just doing these dumb things. It's like, okay, get alcohol inks, and. And put them on a tile and then blow it around with a straw, and it makes a cool pattern. And my. My sister's always like, God, I suck at this. I'm so bad at this. I'm so bad at art. Why don't I have any artistic ability? It's like, dude, we just dumped paint onto a canvas and, like, moved it around on a lazy Susan and called it art. She's like, oh, God, I can't even do that right. My art is terrible.

[B]

I hate art.

[C]

My.

[D]

But also, you're really good at crafts and art, so I can imagine being like, wow, I thought mine was nice, but I just look, like, just like, on a canvas.

[C]

I mean, thank you. But literally, I choose things that you. It's like, okay, tonight's craft is we're all going to take a piece of pizza, eat half of it, and then smear the rest of it on a postcard. And she'll be like, oh, my God.

[D]

I suck at this.

[C]

Like, the easiest. It's like, the easiest, most formless shit ever. She still gets so upset.

[D]

I can understand. I'm an overachiever, and I. I used to be so good at art. Art was my jam. But I Haven't done art in so long that now most of my stuff looks like crap, which is just really tragic. But every now and then, I can. I can get a little crafty. Once in a while, my craftiness comes out. Like, around Halloween, I'll cobble together some sort of sad little costume, and, you know, that's, like, my moment of creativity for the year.

[C]

You're good. You're really good with your Halloween costumes, actually.

[D]

I do enjoy that. Yeah.

[C]

You're good with this, like a.

[D]

Like a. Like a homemade crafty costume. And, like, I don't go out there looking like Sierra on Summer House whenever she does costumes. Mine's like, 100 homemade, but, like, therein is the fun. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

[C]

Like, it's like, give myself credit. You grew up, but you're your own mom, which I like, you know?

[D]

Correct. So they sit down to make their mosaics, and Charlie is going to do a sunset. She's like, well, maybe I'll do a sunset or, like, some kind of wave. I'm just gonna look into my lookbook of waves. Oh, there's one that's cresting. There's another one that's cresting. Hmm. Oh, look at that one. It's cresting. So many options for waves.

[C]

It's like, oh, my God, I'm scared to use the wire cutter. I don't even do that. And so she. She uses it, and Molly's like, geez, that is scary. So how are you after everything that happened at Madison's house? The way Molly's looking at her like, you fucking moron, you'll be okay. You'll survive this. Yeah.

[D]

So then we. Where they're gonna. They're gonna talk about the. The slumber party and everything. And Sally is. She is. I don't remember if this is part. Oh, yeah, that was part of the flashback. But we come back, and Charlie is. She's saying, like, you know, the thought of going on this date brings me so much anxiety. It's scarier than cutting a wire. Ah, Just did another one.

[C]

Is.

[D]

This is terrifying.

[C]

Just because, like, Sally was definitely hurt by Craig, and I feel bad about that, but at the same time, like, I'm attracted to Craig. I mean, that's why I'm going on the date. Should I even go? I shouldn't go. So I'm a terrible person. But now it puts me in, like, a really weird position because it's like, Greg, he's so cute. And Sally, like, she hates me so much.

[D]

Oh, my God.

[C]

What Do I do. She's a mother of chickens. Now I'm hurting. A single mother of five. She's got two dogs and chickens. The single mother of five. What if I never saw this happening to me?

[D]

Molly's like, I mean, it's the same place that Sally and Vanita were in. And, you know, Sally was in a weird place, but she was like, whatever. I'm gonna do what I want. So kind of similar, because, you know, Molly hates Sally this season, which is kind of fun. It doesn't. It's not very impactful, but, like, she just chimes in on the side being like, that bitch. Am I right? Okay, go get it.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. And she's got a point there. You know, she's like, yeah, she didn't give a what her friend thought, so why would you give a what she thinks? She's, like, kind of similar. She goes, I mean, I guess commercials.

[D]

Here comes one right now.

[A]

Hey, it's Raj and Noah. And we're back with a new season of Am I Doing It Wrong? The show that explores the all too human anxieties we have about trying to get our lives right.

[C]

Love y'.

[D]

All.

[C]

By the way, we have a couple things that we need to add. So apparently on the after show, we found out that Vanita didn't just, like, leave the party because she was upset. She had a kidney infection and had to go to the hospital, I guess, which is weird because she did say, but I'm upset and I'm leaving. So I'm not really sure how that got edited into a weird place, because she definitely left because she was upset. So I don't know if she was upset and that triggered a kidney thing. I don't know. I don't Know, but just.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

And the other thing that was super weird in the after show, I just saw a clip, but Vanita is talking about how she really loves Sally and that she wants to know where Sally is at all times and she has her location. And so she checks her location at night and makes sure that Sally is at home at a certain amount of time at a certain time of night, so she's not out getting into trouble with boys. And whoever she's talking to, I don't remember if it's Molly or Charlie, but they're looking at her like, uh huh. Okay. And. Well, that's nice. But it's like you see in their face, it's like you're so. You're just crazy. So you're nuts. You're coming out as just being fucking nuts at this point. And I kind of like that, that we're just like, slowly finding out that maybe Venita's just nuts.

[D]

She's just. Maybe she's unstable in more than one ways because she falls over a lot. And now we're finding out that maybe she's unstable in new ways. So that's exciting.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Slowly getting new layers to Benita.

[C]

Yeah. But I like it. I will. I will take those off camera or off the main show qualities of Anita, they make me more interested. So Molly's. Molly's like. Well, I mean, Craig, like. I mean, like, look, Craig is. Is he a good guy when he likes you and he's a bad guy when he likes Charlie? Like, it doesn't make much sense. Sally, like, it's hypocritical, but that's Sally in a nutshell.

[D]

Classic Sally. So then Charlie's like, I just. I don't want to upset Sally. Molly's like, you gotta quit caring so much. I know, it's just. It's hard because, like, whenever it's like, literally my best friend and she's like, telling me that she doesn't care. Like, it doesn't feel. It doesn't feel like that. I think that she cares. It's like, okay, can you put down your mosaic pieces? Okay, stop wiping your tears with those that you're gonna get. You're gonna cut your cheeks. Yeah.

[C]

She's like, oh, why am I bleeding? So I thought it was funny because Charlie says, yeah, you know, it's like she said she doesn't care, but it doesn't feel like she doesn't care. And it cuts to. It gets to Sally going, well, have fun on your date. He's gonna write me off. Like, that, like, fuck him. But I guess you should have fun, because it's gonna happen to you. Yeah, it's. It seems like Sally's really psyched for your date. I can see why you're confused.

[D]

So Molly's like, oh, don't be sad, pretty girl. I know it's all stressful, but, like, you're not meant. Like, you're not meant to be or you're not a good friend. Like, literally, like, Charlie, I promise you, like, you are a good friend. It's all good. And Charles, like, I just want them to be okay with each other just, like, starting to choke up. And Molly's like, oh, God, this one. Like, I care about another stupid blonde twit crying about a guy who likes her too much. So Molly's like, well, if she's claiming not to care, then maybe you just have to go by then be like, all right, you said you don't care, so I'm going on the date.

[C]

Yeah. So, like, just do. Just do what feels right. I mean, what do you want from me? So what'd you end up making? She's like, oh, nothing. I didn't. I have blood all over my glass now. What did you make? Charlie's like, euphonium. Duh. Pretty amazing. You're a. Yeah. She's like, be true to yourself. Don't call me again.

[D]

This was.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

I'd rather go back and shoot more scenes with Whitney. Okay. In his lair.

[C]

I'd rather Rodrigo and Whitby again.

[D]

Rodrigo and Tyler go to a store called Celadon to do some interior designing. And, you know, this is. Rodrigo is outfitting Shep's new home because he is an interior designer. And so Rodrigo's like, empirically, Shep is cheap, but in this process, he never gave me a budget, so, baby, I'm flying free. So now we're going to see Rodrigo at work, doing his art.

[C]

Yes. Picking furniture. And so he goes in, and the sales lady is like, oh, Rodrigo. God, I haven't seen you in a long time. We giving up the business. Where we been, Rodrigo? Mr. Non Working Rodrigo. Hey, everybody. Here's hobbyist decorator Rodrigo. Welcome him back to the store. Haven't seen him in a while. Wow. You still know what a couch is. Okay. You just sitting on lawn furniture these days, Those customers all dry up. Okay, Enjoy the store. We've got a bunch of $4,000 tables, you idiot. Thanks for coming in.

[D]

And Tyler's like, oh, my God. That's the largest coffee table I've ever scene iconic. And the lady's like, those are actually old opium beds from China. Oh, cool. Associated with drug use. Perfect for Shep.

[C]

Shep is going to love that. This is an opium. This is from an opium den in China.

[D]

So they. $4,100.

[C]

You took this out of a crack house and you want to charge me $4,100 for it? Like, hey, this came from us. Came from a drug den. It's got sperm all over it. Very old sperm, though. It's antique sperm. Okay. And it's $4,100. Consider yourself lucky to get this bargain.

[D]

So then, I mean, Rodrigo's really leaning into, like, antiquities and antiques for Shep, which I'm like, is this Shep's aesthetic? I mean, what is Jeff's aesthetic? Like, rumpled clothes. I'm not sure about the house with.

[C]

A baseball cap with an American flag on it. You know what I mean? This is it.

[D]

It's.

[C]

He's. What are you going to decorate? It's like, okay, here's my client. Think of a crumpled brown paper bag that spits when he talks. Do you get him?

[D]

So Rodrigo is mentioning that they have a busy week coming up because the engagement party and Tyler. I like Tyler going, well, you post me, so you should be planning it. Like, you can't trap me into planning this on camera. Okay? I already said I'm going to make Ina Garten's weeknight bolognese, and that's my contribution. You figure out the rest.

[C]

He's like, I don't think that that's how that works, Tyler. He's like, yeah, it is you.

[B]

You.

[C]

You can plan it, and you will plan it. He's like, you're a fucker. So he talks about how they got engaged in Greece nine months ago. I am Greek, and I'm Greek. Joke about how can be cash bar, which I would do. I don't. I. I don't think that's a joke. I want to have, like, a BYOB If I ever do it, I would be like, just bring it on.

[D]

I think I. I would. I would not do it. A cash bar at your engagement party. I just wouldn't do that. I don't think so. I think. I don't know. I feel like you should if you're gonna do a whole big fancy engage. Let me put it this way. If you do a party, maybe at, like, a restaurant, Shore Cash bar, but if you're doing this whole thing, a lavish production with chairs and tables and everyone has to be dressed in white, that's sort of implying a certain amount. Amount of, like, luxury and a certain amount of. Of, you know, to do, like, if everyone has to follow all these rules, and then it's like, oh, and by the way, you also have to pay for your drinks. I don't know. I don't like that. I think.

[C]

Well, I mean, I think you're right. That's tacky. Maybe it should be like a potluck or like a bring your own. I would do like a BM wedding. Like a bring me a man wedding. I'm just going to throw myself a wedding where you have to bring all your own food and drinks and also bring someone for me to marry.

[D]

Right. Because I'm never.

[C]

I'm never putting the effort into any of that stuff.

[D]

That sounds perfect. Yeah. I. I'm actually a little surprised that they threw this sort of party. I really did think, like, Tyler speaks to me as a truly. As a barefoot Contessa gay. I don't know if we ever saw him doing that. But, like, I've always had it in my mind that he has at least three of Ina Garten's cookbooks. And I think that he would just have, like, a little, like, a thing where people show up in blazers and past apps that are all kind of like Hampton Z and it's in their house, and they. They play some nice music. They put on some buble in the background, and it's, like, nice but boring. And then everyone leaves. But I was not expecting them to do a, like, take us back to Santorini kind of engagement party. Everyone has to wear white. And, you know, it's like, more like. It's just. It just was fancier than I was expecting from these two.

[C]

Well, I mean, it wasn't a borrowed backyard. I mean, it's not that fancy. I'm just telling people to wear white. It's not that fancy. But I don't want to disorder anything. It looked nice. You know, they put tent for them to, like, kiss each other under and stuff.

[D]

I think asking people to wear all white and not have beer stains on it is pretty fancy for this show.

[C]

So, yeah, this is Southern charm, so this was pretty elegant. So they're talking about their wedding, and he's like, yeah. I mean, now that we're engaged, people are asking me, like, when is the wedding? And I'm like, what? Like, I want to get my kitchen done. Like, I'm remodeling my kitchen because I'm. I'm a designer, and I don't want to go on Reddit. And have people saying, like, what the fuck is his fucking design aesthetic? How is he designing Sonner's kitchen looks like.

[D]

And we see many pull quotes from Reddit of people being like, he's a designer and his kitchen looks like. I was surprised. Did we ever clock that? I'm actually shocked.

[C]

I feel like we didn't because I thought, wow, these people are even gayer than we are on Reddit. Because I don't think we've dissed his kitchen before, have we? I don't think I've noticed.

[D]

I truly, I don't think I truly realized that Rodrigo was a, an interior designer until the season. He may have told us, but in my mind I thought he was like a lawyer or something. Like, I, I didn't get you did not visually strike me as an interior designer because I feel like he doesn't talk about design a lot or looks or I don't know. Or maybe I just missed it. Maybe I just had a blind spot. Either way, I just am, like, upset that we missed a chance that we could have really hounded him for his kitchen because that probably would have been a really fun thing for us to do.

[C]

Yeah, well, it's gone now that that time's over. We lost. So, yeah, they're like, rodrigo's an interior designer. What a loser. The countertop, the backsplash. That is unforgivable. I' to miss the live life, love decor. I mean, that does sound like something we'd say. He has a grandma.

[D]

We didn't say something about this. This all sounds like us. Like the stupid comments we'd say. So Rodrigo's like, I know, I know. That's why I'm not married yet. I want a better kitchen. My career is tanking cuz everyone's making fun of my kitchen. So Tyler is hoping that Austin's going to bring Audrey, you know, and Rodrigo's like, I mean, she said she's coming, so Audrey, life of the party. And she's like, like, yeah. And how do you think Audrey's going to feel about seeing Shep and Craig for the first time? Am I right?

[C]

Girl, literally nobody cares what Audrey thinks. I mean, what is Audrey doing here? I think Audrey is like one of those people that you just. Audrey is one of those people that in Los Angeles, like, you see them going into the Celebrity center for the first time, like they're being invited by some Scientologist, like, hey, you want to come in for a free evaluation? They're like, yeah, it's evaluation. And you're like, there's no helping them. You know that you should run. Run over and be like, no, no, no. This isn't what you think it's going to be.

[D]

They're going to ruin your life.

[C]

But you're like, they're just too dumb. Just let them go. Just let them go. That's how I feel about Audrey. Audrey. Like, we want to save Audrey, but if you. If this show has been on for 10 years and you're still dumb enough to date these guys, I can't feel bad for you. Yeah.

[D]

I mean, that's like. It's. It's a choice that she's made to go with Austin. But I actually do like Audrey because what I like is seeing her go from, like, oh, my God, like, this nice, sweet girl Audrey last season to slowly realizing the hell that she has entered herself into and, like, realizing that. That, like, Austin is Austin and he's surrounded by awful people. And she's just like, why am I doing this? You just sort of see that realization all over her face.

[C]

As you do. Yeah.

[D]

You know, and I think, I do. Really fun.

[C]

I don't dislike Audrey at all. I just don't. I just wouldn't save her. I wouldn't run over to help her, because I feel like Audrey. I look at Audrey and I think of three letters. D, Y, R. Do your research.

[D]

You know, she's like, well, unfortunately, I went to a BM AM event, and this is what I wound up with. And I. I just. My friend said I shouldn't do it, and I. I'm too committed. I have to see this through.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Prove them wrong. But, yeah, it was a mistake. It was a mistake to do bmam.

[C]

Yeah. Rodrigo says, well, I mean, I don't think she's too comfortable with crack and Shep throwing the. Throwing. Throwing him under the bus. But, I mean, I do believe that the shit Shep was going around saying about him. No, I mean, I don't believe that. But if Austin has some hesitation about their relationship, like, I just want him to be upfront with her.

[D]

And Tyler's like, yeah, stop shringing things along. He's like, I don't know. It's like, no, seriously, too many fairy lights. Like, do we have to do this in the backyard so much? Can we stop shring so many lights together? It's kind of annoying me right now.

[C]

Now Austin and his sister Katie are out, and they're at Santi's Mexican restaurant. And Austin's one of those people who goes to a Mexican restaurant, goes, hola, we're here for some Mexicano food. I'm bilingual. Do you have some toast? Status.

[D]

He's like, behold, Sandies. I love this place. And, you know, everyone at Santis is like, oh, God. Behold the. Oh, God, can I go on break? He literally says, poor favor.

[C]

I'm telling you.

[D]

I know. And he's like. He's like, well, seriously, though, thank you for pulling the trigger with me. Thank you so much. I can't believe it took me this long to decide to get married to my own sister. She's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Pulling the trigger. That was not what I meant.

[C]

By pulling the trigger. He meant they got brother and sister tattoos. Sibling tattoos.

[D]

Y. They got tattoos in honor of their sister. It's like the birthday. It's like, birthday of their sister who passed, and then the birthday of Katie's birthday. So it's like sister to sister. It's very nice. Very lovely. Especially in light of recent podcasts that were a bit insensitive about this.

[C]

Oh, my God. Did you see that clip? Oh, my God. The Nick Vile pod, The Nick V All podcast. Oh, my God. Awkward.

[D]

I went back and watched the rest. I was like, for those of you.

[C]

Who didn't see it, Austin goes on their podcast, and they're like, oh, you know, great. Blah, blah, blah, regular interview. So, you know your sister died. Yes. Yes. It was very sad. Yeah. So how did that happen again? And he's like, well, you know, we were. He's kind of tells a story, and she's like, so. They just got so weird about it. I was like, is this a true crime, dog? Are you trying to pin the murder on him? What is happening in this podcast? It was just so. It was so uncomfortable. I think he handled it pretty well, but the Internet went crazy. They were like, fuck you too. And I was like, yeah, what were you guys. What were you guys thinking on that one?

[D]

Yeah, that was a. That was just.

[C]

Let's deep dive into your sister's death. Let's just keep asking question after question after question.

[D]

Insensitive. So Austin is like, anyways, Audrey's coming in tonight and friend for Rod and Tyler's engagement party tomorrow night. So I'm so excited to see her. And because I haven't seen her in two weeks, I cannot wait. It's like, excuse me, sir. The people at the next table are concerned that you're watering down their guacamole. Could you please just, like, try to just. Here's a. Here's a shield from COVID One of those Clear shields. Just put on your face. Thank you so much.

[C]

And Katie's like, okay, but, like, have you guys even talked about, like, if she was gonna move here? Like, have you even talked about that possibility? He's like, no, no, no. I feel like it's like, a little bit like, she's been, like, living in the. For in the moment, and I've been, like, living in the moment and, like, you know, the moment she's not here, and that's, like, a great moment. I love those moments. You know, you really gotta appreciate the moments that your girlfriend's not in town, which I do. So that's been really fun. That's what. That's the moment we're living in.

[D]

She's like, okay, that was a whole lot of. But, like, you've been dating for like a year and a half, and, like, you're having hesitation about Audrey moving here. Like, what is it that's telling you to, like, to not have her come here? Like, if you're not gung ho, then, like, what are you gong. No. Right. High five. Right. Oh. Oh, sorry. Hey, why are you sounding so aggressive? I just realized that was very anti your brother.

[C]

And she's like, I love Audrey. And he's like, I know. I know you do. And she says, yeah, just like, you need to, like, feel gung ho. I'm just gonna say gung ho a lot because, like, you really need to be gung ho. I just want you to be gung ho. Like, why aren't you gung ho?

[D]

Why aren't you? Like, a Michael Keaton comedy? And he, as the producer said, I.

[C]

Was thinking of that too. That was a good one. Remember when he worked the car line? He had to make all the cars. It's a good one. Just a glimpse into America.

[D]

Yeah. Gung ho. So the producer is like, you're just not ready to take that next step, are you? Well, I have some reservations this insane not to. And, like, much like, I had some reservations about getting cats. So what I'm trying to say is Audrey is kind of like a small, little furry creature that I could use on camera to make people like me, since I've had so many years of bad edits. So, like, yeah, I guess when I think about Audrey, I say, wait, this could be the last step, last next step of my life. It's like, you ever see those movies where someone's walking up a staircase and then there's no more staircase, they don't realize, and they fall off a cliff and die? That's What? She's like the last step before that happens.

[C]

Austin's such a wuss in this situation. Like, we all know that Austin has this girlfriend, long distance, so he can repair his relationship. Looking on camera like, he's being so good. And now. Now he's going to be like, oh, my God. I just. I don't know if I can be with her because I'm just not serious enough now that he's found someone else to fuck on camera, whose name is Sally. And so now he's going to get rid of this girl that he's been using as a placeholder. And he doesn't even have the nerve to do it alone. He's got to drag everybody else. He's got to bring his sister on TV to talk him out, to talk him into dumping her. You know what I mean? Like, we all know that you don't like her. We all know you're going to dump her the second you found somebody else to bring on camera, which you did. And now you're going to make everybody else in your life come on and talk you out of it. Just grow up, dude. Just. You're not into it. You've never been into it. Dumper. You've got cats now. You've got the reputation.

[D]

Now and forever. He has cats. So Katie is like. Is. Is the benefit. Is your benefit of stepping back to be like, do I miss you enough? Is it really what I want? I mean, what are you doing if you're not all in, like, Teddy Mellencamp? And he's like, oh, well, it's kind of like a meteor that's coming towards Earth. But I'm like, no, no, no. It's like, in six months, like, you don't have to worry about that meteor for six months. And I'm just like, whoa, I'm enjoying it. Even though that's like, I know that's there. It's coming. So what I'm trying to say is that Audrey is like a catastrophic event that will kill all of humanity. And I'm just trying to enjoy myself before my life is like a barren wasteland full of dark skies and burning seas.

[C]

So wait, you're saying you want a thicker girlfriend? Like, you want a meteor girlfriend? No, she's like an end of the world event. Audrey is the apocalypse. She is zombies coming out of the ground to eat my face off when.

[D]

I had sex with her. The only way I can imagine getting on Audrey is pretending I'm Bruce Willis being sent onto the meteor to blow it up from the inside. Do you know what I'm saying?

[C]

Okay, well, I don't want to put, like a dark cloud on us hanging out or anything like that. I mean, this has been fun talking about how Audrey is basically the end of the world. But, you know, I. I do understand now that you've told me that I need to be more gung ho. Is that the word you use? Gung ho? Be more gung ho.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I need to have a very tough conversation that is definitely in our imminent future. I said imminent.

[D]

I said fast forward today. Audrey, let me put it to you this way. I am like a Japanese auto manufacturer and you are a meteor coming to destroy the cars. And I don't know, for the productivity of my Toyotas, if that's going to be good for us. So I'm going to need to send your meteor to a different car factory. Does that make sense? I don't know what advice your sister gave you, but you're really failing right now. Yeah. By the way, I had an extremely vivid dream about seeing a meteor shower last night. And it's clear. It's because the stupid analogy that Austin made because I watched the show right before I went to bed and clearly I watched it. I had a dream about meteors because Austin mentioned meteors. So thanks a lot for accepting me, Austin.

[C]

God, you got accepted by Austin. That's crazy.

[D]

Terrible.

[C]

Did you wake up with a wet face? You're like, why do I have a bit of tortilla chip in my eye? So weird.

[D]

Why did I wake up saying, por favor, good morning, por favor, senorita.
