If your skincare isn't working, you're probably skipping this step. Gentle Daily exfoliation. I love using the toning pads from Bare Faced and they have transformed my skin. Bare Face sells one of these every three minutes so you know they are that good.
Ronnie Caram
Love the way they make my skin look less clogged, pore smoother, clearer skin and they give my skin a healthy glow. They're gentle enough for daily use, but effective enough that you'll see a difference within two weeks.

So come see us, come see the other podcasts. We're going to have a great time. We'll be doing a crappy hour live from the festival. That is it. And today we are here with the penultimate episode of the season of Vanderpump Rules. What say you, Ronnie?
Ronnie Caram
Penultimate. I can't believe it. Well, I was proud of these kids because, you know, finally Audrey's kind of coming out with a villainous personality, which I liked. Yeah, I mean, damn, I wasn't really expecting it from Audrey, but, yeah, they need one. They need one. They need a strong villain. I don't know that I'm going to give her a Stasi crown or anything like that, but they needed a villain on this show. And I think that she is, you know, pretty promising so far.
Ben Mandelker
Hard to say. I mean, Vander Brules famously is the lazy Susan of awfulness. And so Audrey somehow had not gotten on to the. The spinny circle, and finally she's here. She arrived. So she had an awful moment. But you're right, there actually really is no, like, arch arch villain on this show. There are just people who act badly, who get annoyed at, but then it sort of moves on to someone else.
Ronnie Caram
I don't think any of them are villains. Is that an age thing that I'm like, they're all cute, sweet kids. I don't really have a problem with anybody. I think they're all nice.
Ben Mandelker
Every time I think that there's a villain, it winds up being someone else. I thought Marcus was gonna be a villain. I thought maybe Kim was gonna be a villain. I thought Angelica was looking like she was turning into the villain. And no one's. Venus maybe was a villain at one point. No one's really done.
Ronnie Caram
They're all pretty nice. And you would think that that would mean the show sucks, but it doesn't. I'm enjoying him. So we go to. We start with Angelica, and the camera, of course, starts on her rack because she's got new boobs and she went big. She's like, woohoo.
Angelica
My boob job was a success.
Shane
I went from an A cup to a double D. I told my doctor I wanted to stay like a C.
Ronnie Caram
But then I was on the surgical table and I was like, go big or go home.
Shane
So I did it. I did it.
Ronnie Caram
I'm looking forward to these things, like bouncing people.
Ben Mandelker
The. The. The. The best part about this was the larger context of watching this on tv. Because we go from Summer House, which ends with Kyle and Amanda in bed and coming. I have such anxiety. I just feel like. I just, like. I feel like I'm losing you. It's like, but I just want you to stop drinking and I'll sleep on. Like, a marriage falling apart under the weight of expectations and burgeoning alcoholism. It's like, very serious. And then we literally, within 30 seconds.
Angelica
Here, my boob job was a success.
Ben Mandelker
It was just such a pivot.
Ronnie Caram
It was amazing, really. Just expanding under the weight of her new burden. Just loving it. So it was nice.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah.
Ronnie Caram
So she calls Kim, which we all do when we get back in town, because who doesn't want to hear this, right when you come like, hi.
Shane
Back in town.
Ben Mandelker
Hey.
Ronnie Caram
That bundle of energy.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, Real sunshine over there. So Angelica's like, I know. I got my boobs. Anyway, I can't, like, wait to, like, move.
Angelica
My place looks like an absolute disaster. My ex didn't leave it in the.
Ben Mandelker
Best way, and basically he's. He's moved out. And she's like. She says that he moved all his stuff out while she was away in Houston. And Angelica says, so much has changed.
Angelica
My ex moved out. I found a new place. And I mean, hello, boobs. I'm a new person.
Ronnie Caram
Boobs. Now you're a person with bigger boobs. So she's going to move in four days and is asking what she missed. And Kim's like, I mean, Natalie and Jason are making out again, so I guess there's that one. And then we see a flashback to Natalie and Jason making out in the bar and her friend just behind them being like.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. Angelica's like, she's probably, like, ovulating. I mean, honestly, I want to hump everything when I'm ovulating.
Angelica
How's Audrey?
Ben Mandelker
Kim's like, I kind of was hearing that her and Chris may have ended things. Yeah, let's go.
Ronnie Caram
Flashback to Paso where Audrey's like, I told you my biggest fear in this would be, like, if it wasn't genuine from you. And he's like, but, yeah, but, like, I'm like, I want us. I want us.
Ben Mandelker
And then we see a flashback of Audrey having a consult with Parker, who's like, do you even want to be with him? Grass. And then they have their drinks at Universal and break up. Yeah, really? A true love story brings a tear to the eye. So Angelica says, well, you know, with.
Shane
The whole miscommunication stuff that we had in the beginning, I really thought we were just gonna be, like, enemies or something.
Ronnie Caram
And then we see the flashback to them fighting, and Angelica being like, you're.
Shane
Not a girl's girl, though.
Ronnie Caram
And every time there's a dick in.
Shane
The room, you immediately need that validation. That's what it feels like.
Ben Mandelker
So now Angelica says, you know what if Audrey and Chris are, like, not on great terms? I feel like she's, like, really gonna need her girlfriends.
Angelica
That's me.
Ben Mandelker
And Kim's like, well, everybody's gonna be so excited to see your boobies. Shane's really gonna be excited to see them, huh?
Ronnie Caram
Yes.
Ben Mandelker
And we see flashbacks of Shane and talking about the boobs and everything. And so Angelica says, I've been gone for, like, a while.
Angelica
I wonder if anyone missed me and my new boobs. I've got new boobs, guys. Oh, my God.
Ronnie Caram
So now Natalie is parking her car next to Jason, and he's like, well, here comes the love of my life. Like, what's up, sugar mama? I'm in love with her.
Ben Mandelker
Now.
Ronnie Caram
If we're in a relationship, she's like, I'm asleep, and, like, I've been working. So. So we see him, like, being totally into her and her not really getting it.
Ben Mandelker
There's so many flashbacks. I never really realized how many flashbacks they throw at us on this show until I'm seeing how many flashbacks are.
Ronnie Caram
Yeah, when we.
Ben Mandelker
When we go back through it. So we are. They go into this place that's, like, an art studio. It's like this really fun art studio called, like, A Shot of Art. And. And Jason's like, you smell banging, by the way. I smell God, yeah. Like, what is that? That's Gucci. Wow, that's cool. So they come to this place, and the instructor's like, here, you know, you're gonna, like, put on these suits, and you're gonna make art and everything. And Jason tells us, since my first date gone wrong with Angelica, I'm, like, really cautious on where I take girls. Hey, remember that time when we went and did, like, martial arts? Let's have another flashback of that. Okay, we're back. So now we're going to do our. And Then there's just silence.
Ronnie Caram
Oh, I thought you said, now we're going to do our. I thought you paused. I actually came back to the screen to see if you were on pause. Like I said, now we're going to do our. Dot, dot, dot.
Ben Mandelker
I was like, no, now they're going.
Ronnie Caram
To wonder where Ben's going with this.
Ben Mandelker
No, they're the. But that. That silence probably really reflected what was going on in their heads, because I don't. I don't associate art with banner pump rules. If any. If anything, this is. Yeah, if anything, this is sort of like the. The origin story for that awful Bubba art that plagued us for so many years in Kitty and Tom's apartment.
Ronnie Caram
Yeah, well, they're gonna do art, you guys. They're gonna do pouring art, which is where you put a bunch of paint in a cup and you pour it. That's the art that I do. It's the kind of art that I love. Done a lot of it. It's harder than it looks. Okay, so they just pour paint, and then the instructor's like, wow, I really like what you're doing, guys. Like, it's a free for all. And I like how, like, you're so delicate and detailed, but then you're so crazy. Natalie's like, oh, my God. That describes us, like, perfectly, right? He's like, yeah, that is so us. Like, he already knows us as a couple. That's crazy. I wonder what our kids are going to pour. Like, wow, your colors are tasty. Oh, my God. I hope paint's not bad for skin. Boop. I got some on your nose.
Ben Mandelker
He puts so much blue paint on the tip of her nose. I'll be like, I. I would hate that. So Natalie is like, okay, that's enough. This looks, like, really pretty. I think we did a good job. Yeah, it looks good. Okay, so what did you think about that beach party that we went to? Remember? Hey, you know what? We need another flashback. Okay. We're back, and Natalie's like, yeah, I just love that we can just, like, do that. Like, we can just, like, make out. And the next day, we're not like, what was that? Right? And he's like, yeah, it wasn't weird or anything, by the way. What was that? No. Yeah, it was just, like. That was, like, hilarious. Wasn't that so funny? Yeah, that was sick. Yeah. You know, having friendships with straight men is, like, not always easy, because there's always that moment where the guy develops feelings, and then the friendship becomes complicated. But then, like, with Jason has He's been, like, the sweetest guy, and I just feel like I could have asked, like, he's like the sweetest guy I could have ever asked for. Coming out of a breakup, it's just, like, been so fun and lighthearted. But the funny part is, did I even break up with anyone? Have I been in a relationship all this time? What was that breakup? What is she talking about? He's the sweetest guy to come out of a breakup. Who did she break up with?
Ronnie Caram
She had just broken up with the guy when the show started.
Ben Mandelker
The older guy?
Ronnie Caram
Yeah, I remember she broke up with. I think she broke up with the older guy, and then that's why the other chick was mad at her because she was also dating the older guy.
Ben Mandelker
Okay. Yeah, that was. I feel like that was so long ago that, like, I just. It just feels like this far into the season for her to be like, he's the sweetest guy to come out of a breakup with. It just feels like a. A weird thread to keep, to pick back up when we haven't talked about that guy since the first episode. I feel like we should have had more of that. We should have seen him, by the way.
Ronnie Caram
Well, he was in a motorcycle accident, so he's been. He's been off recovering someplace, you know, Shameless.
Ben Mandelker
The show is shameless. They'll take a camera anywhere.
Ronnie Caram
Yeah, I know. I can't believe Vanderpump wasn't like, get out here. Get out here in your body cast and fuck somebody. Listen, it's the first time a 50 year old will be able to stay hard on this show. All right, bring it on. I really like that he's the one who's like, oh, yeah, but, like, I think we're together. And he's like, so should we talk about the other night? She's like, that was sick, wasn't it? Like, we just, like, made out. We don't even have to talk about it. He's like, I thought we were talking.
Ben Mandelker
I know. He's like, trying to be like, thank.
Ronnie Caram
God it's a guy I don't have to talk to about anything. And he's like, yeah, I think that we're basically together now. So.
Ben Mandelker
So then the instructor's like, okay, now you guys are gonna throw paint at each other. And then. So then they start spinning and throwing paint and stuff. He's like, what is this? This? Are we dating now? So she's like, that was insane. Oh, my God. Like, they are. He's like, yeah, there's a very potential spark here and I'm down for this to be a more regular thing. Yeah. So then they're still spinning and painting. Oh my God, I love this. This is like so fun. I love being on this platonic afternoon experience with you. Oh my God. So fun. Yeah, we're like in love.
Ronnie Caram
He's like, I just wanted to show you how serious I am by this relation about this relationship. By like wearing Bert hair in my conf. My confessional.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. Notice how my hair is up when we talk. But like it's like down in my confessional. Cuz like that's what life is going up and down. Right.
Ronnie Caram
It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappin commercial.
Ben Mandelker
The new year is here. Get back into an at home routine you love and elevate your space with Wayfair.
Ronnie Caram
From bedding and mattresses to storage solutions for every room in the house, Wayfair is your one stop shop.
Ben Mandelker
You know, I am so excited to get my home ready for the new season, the new year ahead. I am thinking about stuff for my patio. I'm thinking about ways I can update this little office I'm in right now. And I just love going around and browsing for all the wares and seeing what treasures I can find.
Ronnie Caram
It's really convenient. They have everything our home needs. This season I'm going to be getting some outdoor chairs for my balcony to just sit and chill. And I'm also going to get some pillows because you know, a color refresh is always good to help the new seasons come in and go get organized.
Ben Mandelker
Refreshed and back on track this new year for way less. Head to Wayfair.com right now to shop all things home. That's W a y F a Wayfair. Every style, every home.
Ronnie Caram
Lunch was great, but this traffic is awful. Can we stop at a bathroom? Are you all right? I keep having stomach issues after eating like diarrhea, gas and bloating, abdominal pain, and sometimes oily stools. Sound familiar? Those stomach issues may actually be a pancreas issue called exocrine pancreatic insufficiency or epi. Creon. Pancrelipase may help manage epi. Creon is a prescription medicine used to treat people digest food normally because their pancreas doesn't make enough enzymes.
Creon Advertisement Voice
Creon may increase your chance of fibrosing colonopathy, a rare bowel disorder. Tell your doctor if you have a history of intestinal blockage or scarring or thickening of your bowel wall. If you are allergic to Pork. Or if you have gout, kidney problems, or worsening of painful swollen joints. Call your doctor if you have any unusual or severe gastrointestinal symptoms or allergic reactions. Take Creon as directed by your doctor and always with food. Do not chew capsules, as this may cause mouth irritation. Other side effects may include blood sugar changes, gas, dizziness, sore throat and cough. These are not all the side effects of Creon. Call 800-633-9110 or visit creoninfo.com to learn more. That's C-E O N info.com I'm asking.
Ronnie Caram
My doctor about EPI and if Creon could help. Now we go over to Audrey and Fenis hanging out and she is making tea and she spills a tea bag and she goes, oh, my God, I spilled the tea bag all over the place. I get ripped in half. And just as you knew he would. Just as every. It's like, what do you think Venus is going to say to that? And of course, right on schedule, he's like, oh, my God. I just taught Natalie what teabagging was.
Ben Mandelker
And then that was the moment that I patted myself on the back for being a great uncle because I was watching this episode with my niece and so I was like, oh, did you.
Ronnie Caram
Have to have the teabagging conversation?
Ben Mandelker
No, she really wasn't paying attention. She was, she was like reading like manga or something like that. So Audrey was like, she's like, what? Oh, my God. She didn't know what that meant. She. He's like, yeah. She said that like a guy hit her in the face with his nuts. And I was like, that's teabagging. She said, oh, I didn't know that's what, what that was. Andrew's like, that's something I feel like Natalie would know. Am I right? That's gonna go in the act. It's going in the act. All right, let's sit down over here. Let's sit down over here. Which is also the only place we can sit down. It's the only seating in the entire place.
Ronnie Caram
He's like, oh, my God, I love a tea sesh. I love tea sesh. Yeah. So do you want to see, like more of the ideas I have for Gay Pride because I'm decorating and. Oh, my God, yes. Yeah. Well, I was definitely thinking we could get these big ass blow up rubber duckies and we put like gay pride shit on them. I mean, it's going to be fucking fears.
Ben Mandelker
He's really leaning into the, the rubber ducky motif. He was talking about last week. He's like, lisa gave me a budget of 500 bucks and I was just like, oh my God, you can do like so much with that. He's like, period. My Pride brush is 5, 500, but I spent 250 on my own, you know, cuz I bought like a big blow up unicorn for the pool of floaty and like water guns for the toys and like tons of streamers. So I've been like 750 on Pride and it's like a little bit of like my dignity, like. So I just have to make sure this money really, really goes far as possible. I'm like, well, you can go to the supermarket and you can buy a head of lettuce and some cookies and that'll probably take up $250.
Ronnie Caram
I was craving caramel the other day for some reason, and so I got Lindt chocolate balls, like caramel balls. They were $12, okay. And I know. So I got them and I was thinking, oh, that's nice. I mean, I guess it's fancy. Treat yourself, you know, it was that kind of thing. So I got home, There were like 10 balls in there. I was like, these were more than a dollar per piece of candy. Come on.
Ben Mandelker
It's insane.
Ronnie Caram
Come on. So anyway, Audrey's like, speaking of dignity, I'm getting an opportunity to do stand up comedy next week. I'm so excited because a friend of mine was like, I know you talked about comedy before and I have an opening. You want to do it? And I was like, yeah. So she tells us that she came to be an actress, but you know, like comedy just popped out of nowhere and like, that takes no effort, so I'm gonna do that.
Ben Mandelker
I know, right? That's just what you want to hear. She's like, I think like putting myself on as many stages as possible and just like going, making like more, making me more of like a diverse talent, you know, because like, if you can stand up on like a stage in front of people and be like, dance monkey, I think you could like do anything, honestly. I'm like, maybe, I don't know. But this was good. Because we, I think we did in this area here, get to see footage of her as like a teenager or like a tween doing like dances on the stage. Like.
Ronnie Caram
Yeah, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna use stand up to bring up everyone's bullshit. I'm gonna call him out, like in a funny, lighthearted way. It's gonna be so good. He's like, well, if it comes to Angelica, we need to talk about her brain versus her education.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. Cause have you ever met someone who has a neuroscience degree but is actually stupid? That's going in the act. That's in the actual. Put it in. I kind of like that.
Ronnie Caram
She's like, I got an opportunity to stand up, so I'm just gonna be an asshole to everybody.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah.
Ronnie Caram
So she's like, yeah, like imposso. I was comforting her on the bus and I actually saw, like, a soft side of her. And, you know, I thought she was showing reaction, like, remorse for her actions towards the boys, but no. And then the next day, I never saw that remorse again. It's like the robot short circuited for a second, and then the TV came back on. Like, the AI rebooted.
Ben Mandelker
So I was just like, oh, by the way, I have to bring up the penis pump. And it's like, yes. Wait, are you gonna do some, like, teabag content about how, like, you spill the tea across the counter? No. Okay. Just, like, just a pitch.
Ronnie Caram
Feel free to. Feel free to say, like, teabagging. Because, like, that was a good one.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, I just, like, you know, like, I told you about Chris, right? And Venus is like, so do you think that he still wants to be with you? He's like, well, based on the conversation in the bar, like, yeah. He was like, I want to do these romantic things for you. I do have strong feelings for you. Can you show me how to do limited magic at Universal? And I was like, I don't know. Like, that's like, too much. Like, some people are born with it. Okay. And, like, afterwards, like, me, him and Parker went back and to, like, Jason's place. And, like, I really enjoyed that. And I ended up staying there because I, like, I drank, but, like, nothing happened. It was, like, very pg. And Venus is like, I'm bored. Can you wrap this up? I just want to know, are you going to stick with him or not?
Ronnie Caram
Venus is the audience. So Audrey's like, yeah, he didn't push any boundaries. He's very mature. So now Venus comes to sir, basically, in the shorts. I mean, you want to talk about someone who's AI I think Venus would qualify. It's like, oh, someone broke a teabag.
Shane
Yeah, teabagging. Just talked about teabagging.
Ronnie Caram
Like, you know, someone says, like, what are you gonna wear to work the next day? Short shorts that say trade on the back and big silver letters. Oh, my God.
Ben Mandelker
So he walks in, he's like, hot and dangerous, and Angelica is walking up to sir with her new boobs. I mean, it's like, hello. Yeah, I'm already at sir, what are you doing? And Angelica's. I'm literally coming around the corner right now. Get off the phone with me. So he walks in, he's like, holy guacamole, the boobies just like, oh, my.
Ronnie Caram
God, you're making me nervous, Mouse. D. No, they look, like, great, you know, like, sorry, I can't stop making eye contact with them.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, no, actually, like, look at them. Like, I spent so much on them. Like, too much on them. Like, sorry, but my boobs are down here. See what I did? I inverted. That's the normal thing where I'm like, my eyes are up here. It's like I'm saying with the boobs.
Angelica
See what I'm doing right there?
Ben Mandelker
It's like a neuroscience thing.
Ronnie Caram
So did we know that she's a swimsuit designer?
Ben Mandelker
Yes, yes.
Ronnie Caram
I forgot that.
Ben Mandelker
It was also back in, like, the early episode, like, when her first episode just was. They just have not talked.
Ronnie Caram
She was like, I'm really into neuroscience and designing string bikinis. Love that for her. So she's brought swimsuits for the girls to wear as their uniforms. And. Wow. Wow, these are. I would be. I would quit, obviously. Well, everybody would quit if they had to see me walk out in one of those.
Ben Mandelker
Does she know the number of gay men that will be trickling through this restaurant? Like. Like, is this really going to be the most effective uniform for the day?
Ronnie Caram
Well, have you been. You've been down. We were down there recently, so that. Yeah, no, this is not for gay people. This is for, like, straight girls who are like, oh, my God, we love.
Shane
Making out with gay people once a year.
Ronnie Caram
Let's go to the Abbey.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, exactly. So Venus says that as the host of Pride, he has plenty of plans for everyone. Angelica is going to be providing her swimsuit line for everyone. And Marcus is gonna dj. His storyline continues. And guess what? We have a flashback of Marcus wanting to be a dj. And we're back. Venus says that Chris, Shane and Jason are going to be the strippers. So then we see that, like, Venus had proposed that idea to them. He's like, yeah, you'll have your muscles out. It'll bring all the gays in.
Ronnie Caram
Straight guys, as usual. Straight guys, stripper. It's fitting, actually. So then we go. Venus is like, I don't know what I'm going to wear. I've already wasted my trade shorts today. What else do I have? Angelica's like, I'll put an order right now for a Speedo.
Shane
Like, we can have a couple. What's he, Shane in a Speedo? Does he wear a small?
Ronnie Caram
And he's like, that man is built. He's huge.
Angelica
Don't be saying all that.
Ben Mandelker
So Demi, Natalie and Audrey walk in and Demi's like, okay, I'm here to see the twins. Oh, my God.
Shane
Whoa. Wow.
Ben Mandelker
Wow. What did you do? Oh, my goodness. It's like two bald headed guys are stuffed into your front. And oh, my God.
Angelica
Yeah, they're like really stiff. Can you massage them, please, for me? Oh, my God.
Ronnie Caram
She like her boobs enter the room before she does. I mean, they look insane, like in the best way possible. Very big. They're really, really big.
Shane
It doesn't hurt though.
Ronnie Caram
So they start. Natalie starts like pushing him in. They're like feeling them really hard. They're like, yeah, they are hard. Oh, my God, these are like really, really hard. Jesus Christ. What are these, like, buoys? These cement buoys. What did you get put in there?
Ben Mandelker
Well, something I did not realize is that when you get boobs, you have to massage them. You have to break them in. And so you have to like. That's why she's like, oh, I have to massage them. I have to squeeze them to like, make them whatever. They need to be more natural feeling or whatever or sort of assimilate.
Ronnie Caram
Well, welcome to having a wiener.
Ben Mandelker
Audrey goes, I love your new boobs, but, like, you're not a new person just because you have new boobs. They just make you hotter going in the act. Put that in the act. So Angelica says, guys, I got swimsuits for you guys, okay? So they're like, they all change in the swimsuits and they come out. They basically, it looks like they're wearing like two checkers on their boobs and like a little cocktail napkin over their vajayjay.
Ronnie Caram
These are crazy. So they do like a little fashion show and do cartwheels and stuff. And Angelica's like, oh, my God, is that Audrey bombshell?
Shane
Like, if I had that dream body, it would look just like Audrey.
Ronnie Caram
And Audrey's like, I'm going to eviscerate her later. She and Venus is of course, like, oh, my God, I can't breathe. I think I'm straight now.
Ben Mandelker
Demi tells us, I don't know how we're gonna work in these. We're gonna be serving people food, not vagina. You can have that one, Audrey.
Ronnie Caram
So they're all spoken like someone who's only been Working at Vanderpump rules in the recent times because they used to come to work dressed like they did. Serve Regina Virginia. Why did I say it like that? Who says it like that on this show? Vagina Virgina Virginia. But yeah, now they're all, like, in black. Now they dress like stage managers. But back in the day, remember, they'd be like, do I have to wear this to work? Yes, darling. Nothing is more vulnerable than a freezing poor person. Now put on your panties and go serve some goat cheese bowls.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, they were definitely wearing oversized handkerchiefs. So Angelica is, like, very happy. And Venus is like, put some bronzers on those legs, girl. And then we go to Kim's apartment where she's working out. And the dog comes over to Sniffer. And then we go to Jason and Chris and they go to Vibe Dance studio where they're going to meet up with Natalie because Natalie is going to be singing her song Passengers for Pride. And in case you don't know, that's the song that goes like this. Yeah, I like that, Jason.
Ronnie Caram
When Venus asked me to sing my song Passenger at Pride, the answer was an automatic. I was like, envision myself as a sexy pop star. Like, what better way to have two cute backup dancers with me? I mean, like, as long as they stand behind me and do everything I've seen them do, like, on our night out, we're good.
Ben Mandelker
So this girl Rihanna comes in and she's like the choreographer and she's like asking them about, like, dancing. And Chris is like, I mean, I could do a little two step. And he starts, like, he starts showing up basically his stripper moves. And he's like, I could do this. He's like doing all these. Doing that push up thing that strippers do where they sort of grind on the floor and then rise up like a snake or whatever. And Rihanna's like, no, that's.
Ronnie Caram
That's pretty amazing though, what they can do. It's funny that they can't dance at all except to do, like, stripper moves. And their stripper moves are all those, like, slow motion, like, handstand, then, like, lowering yourself down into the worm. I mean, it was pretty amazing physically what they can do. But then when it comes to, like, doing like a touch step, touch step, they're like, what? No, I don't understand that. They're like, rhythm, like, no, And Rihanna does not care. She's like, yeah, that was terrible. No, I hate that. She's like, no, no, that's terrible.
Ben Mandelker
No, no, no. You just ask Chris if he if he's ever dropped a girl as a stripper, and he's like, yeah, well, there was this one bachelor who was on my motorcycle, AKA the hot seat, AKA my dick, and I have was. You know, I obviously had to pick her up off the motorcycle. And that's why I do a little bit of my moves. Like, and then, like, I throw just all hips into her. And then, like, I almost dropped her, but I, like, got away with it. And I did one of these and then I, like, let her sit down. It was pretty cool.
Ronnie Caram
So, yeah, I've dropped someone, but then I fucked her kind of. I air fucked her after, so it was okay. Yeah. So now Natalie's like, I'm just gonna use a hair clip as a mic. I mean, the audience thanks you. So Rhiannon's like, okay, 1, 2, 3. No, hate it, hate it. Terrible. Hate it, hate it. You guys. You guys are really, really bad at this.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, they just keep on messing up. So ultimately, Chris and Jason leave, and Chris is like, yeah, okay, well, we really killed that. You know, like, we def. Just have to practice a little bit more. But, like, we're going to be really good. I just have, like, a problem with the. But he's like, the hardest part for him is, like, when he has to move his head like three inches at a time. He's like, why do I do that?
Ronnie Caram
So then walk into the car and have, like, a super serious conversation, guys.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah.
Ronnie Caram
So Jason's like, anyway, dude, after that, I'm really feeling Natalie's energy. Like, she's got a big heart, and if she feels loved and she feels safe around you, she's gonna open up. So, like, I'm waiting, like, I'm. I'm like, here for the open up moment. He's like, oh, yeah, I love that. Not gonna lie. Like, I'm really liking her because she's fun, she's affectionate, she goes with the flow. I'm really attracted to that.
Ben Mandelker
Jason goes, so how are you feeling about Audrey? He's like, yeah, I mean, we're kind of back to where we were both before because, like, we hashed out at the bar and, like, I needed to prove to her that, like, you know, I do this and I, you know, and like, we're like, really locked in or just where our heads are at. But, like, we seem to be on the same page now. But, like, I was just thinking about, like, how us traveling so much this summer and, like, being like, not being with each other is gonna affect things. So basically, he's saying, yeah, that whole like, romantic monologue I gave at Universal Studios. I think I want to walk that back a little bit because it did occur to me I am going to be traveling and I am going to be going to Bali and I am going to be fucking wild bitches. So, yeah, maybe I am not all in.
Ronnie Caram
Yeah. But he's also like, Audrey's not really that into him and told him flat out. So they're both kind of sitting there in the car. It's like two dumb. Two dumb hookers telling each other. Exactly. You know, they're like, yeah, she's into me. Yeah, she is into you, bro. I think this girl might be too into me. Yeah, she is too into you, bro. The girls aren't really into you guys. I'm sorry. And I know it's hard to understand cause you really are fine. So I don't know what it is, but it's cute watching them be sensitive with each other. And the little one, Jason even does his eyebrows. He does a Days of Our Lives eyebrow where one goes down and one goes up. And he's like, I really feel for you, bro. And he's like, yeah, thanks, bro. You want me to suck your dick right now? Should I suck your dick right now? There was that moment kind of at the end of the scene, I was like, I need to see that head of Bob. Robin Bob.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, I. I also like how, again, just like so blatantly obvious that they're not actual bartenders at SIR because once the show is done shooting, he's gonna go gallivant around Europe and Bali for like a few months. Which is not what one does when you have a full time job.
Ronnie Caram
So.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, man, I feel for you, Chris.
Ronnie Caram
Like, yeah, I mean, I don't. I don't. A lot of people always say the phrase like, you can't have your cake and eat it too. But like, why the fuck not? I think we all deserve cake. Like, why can't we eat our own fucking cake? I mean, why the fuck do you even have a cake if you're not gonna eat the cake? I don't eat cake. But you know, still.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, I. I love Chris grappling with this, this metaphor.
Ronnie Caram
Just grappling with a very common phrase. Just watching his head get twisted up over it. What? Why are we so upset about cake?
Ben Mandelker
Why can't I have my cake? I can't have. If I eat it, don't I have. Haven't I just had it? You don't have your cake and once you eat it you no longer have cake on your plate, you've eaten it.
Ronnie Caram
Yeah, I know. It took me a long time to understand that phrase too.
Ben Mandelker
I think it's like a young thing. When you're young. You're like, this is such a stupid phrase. Am I right? Like, you know, like, because we all interpret it as having is the same as eating. And then you realize that it's something deeper and more profound. It's about physical possession. Commercials. Here comes one right now. Any who now. We go to a place called La Rochelle Restaurant where Audrey goes to meet Sarah Colona, a comedian. So Audrey is like, I'm so excited. I've wanted to do stand up for so long for at least like three weeks. And it's just like, it's so freaking terrifying. I just want to, like, push myself and just like, do it.
Ronnie Caram
And Sarah's like, blink twice if you need help. How much did they pay you to do this Sarah girl? Sarah's just like, oh, God. Just a look on her face. She's like, oh, God. Okay. Yeah, it's good to know that it's terrified going in. Okay, that's good to know. At least she's honest about that. What the fuck am I doing here? Am I working for a free fucking sandwich? Is that where I have fallen to? Get me the fuck out of here?
Ben Mandelker
So she tells us. Performing live is, like, not a first for me. I did a little bit of theater growing up and here's where you see the footage of me like dancing in like seventh grade production of Anything Goes. And like, I just feel lucky that I don't have stage fright. But, like, I. I'm still like, nervous that, like, I'm being myself and like, you're taking risk and like, is the audience gonna like you? I hope they do. That's how I'm gonna make sure Mary Faith is there. I'm telling her, Mary Faith, you have to laugh at me. You have to.
Ronnie Caram
So she's like, okay. And she goes, yeah. Do you have any specific pointers you want your 22 year old self getting into? Stand up. Like, what do you want to tell? Okay, well, look, just if it doesn't go the way that you expect it to, it's not the end of the world. You're just a terrible comedian because you've made no effort until now. Okay. It doesn't mean you'll always be a terrible comedian, even though you will be. Are you following me so far? Do you want to write any of this down? Okay, so just have fun. Tell things that are you know, funny, because that would be good. Maybe be original. Just from the look of you. That's going to be difficult, but you can try.
Shane
Okay?
Ronnie Caram
Now, there's so many people doing comedy, and the best way to be original. Original is to, I don't know, be yourself. Unless, of course, you're you. So if you're a Xerox copy, I don't know, maybe make some Xerox jokes. I don't know. What do you want from me? How long is this thing gonna be? This is painful.
Ben Mandelker
Oh, my God, I have so many crazy stories. Yeah, but, like, they're not stories about, like, how your friend, like, slept with someone and then things like that, right? Like, it's, like, more interesting than that. No. Yeah, it's, like, not about, like, your friend's penis pumps, like, it's got to be elevated stuff, right? No. Yeah, no. Yeah, a lot of good stories. Lot. Like, my lore goes back centuries. Like, there was a time that, like, Mary Faith gave me a brush for the horse, and I was like, no, Mary Faith, like, that's pretty. That's funny, right? That's that funny. That's funny.
Ronnie Caram
I love my lore goes back centuries. Sarah's just looking at her like, so.
Ben Mandelker
Okay, so what kind of patient goes back longer than that right now?
Ronnie Caram
Yeah, this feels like it's been centuries. So go ahead. Go ahead and give me some of these jokes. She goes, okay, well, I definitely want to include stories about my personal life. Like, also, I have a lot of friends that are going to be there. Like, you know, like, especially co workers. Like, I want to take my opportunity to roast them because, you know, people love, like, waiters with inside jokes.
Ben Mandelker
Oh, yeah, totally. This is. That's a. That's a great idea. Is my. Is my time up? Do I have. I put in. Is it okay? Can I. I can go now, right? No, I still have another 10 minutes with this girl. Okay, okay, tell me more. Give me more of your.
Ronnie Caram
Yeah, for an example, like, one of the girls in the audience is my coworker, and we had this argument one time, and, like, I want to dig at that somehow, you know, like, either doing some kind of crowd work or maybe I'm like, hey, you like my tattoos? You like my hair? My friends a slut? You know, something like that. Do you think that could work? You know, because, like, she needs male validation so much, you know, something like that.
Ben Mandelker
Like, oh, needing male validations is one of the classic punchlines in comedy. Definitely. Lean into that. Lean into that. That's great. I love that. For you.
Ronnie Caram
Well, you're gonna do great in comedy because 90 of it is denigrating women, so you're already five steps ahead.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, seriously. Sarah just looks miserable, and Audrey's like, yeah, I hope they just, like, take it well, you know? Like, I think it's. I. I just think that's, like, really funny. Like, I. I don't know. Like, some of them are crazy. Like, but maybe they'll, like, they'll walk out. Like, I don't know. Like, hopefully not. Sarah's like, huh, yeah. You don't seem like someone who's trying to be mean. I don't know. I'm just trying to say something to move the scene along. I. I really. I've got no stakes in the game.
Ronnie Caram
Okay. Could you maybe explain to the audience what your roots are doing? I'm just confused.
Ben Mandelker
What show am I shooting right now anyway?
Ronnie Caram
Where's Jax? So Audrey is like, yeah, hopefully they take it well because some of them are crazy, but some of them will walk out. I mean, I don't know. Hopefully the sled doesn't walk out. She probably won't, because there will be a lot of men in the club.
Ben Mandelker
She needs male validation. We call that a callback. Yeah, no, I know what a callback is.
Ronnie Caram
Now we go to Angelica and Natalie, and they're walking, and Natalie's like, oh, my God, I wish the sun was out. It's like, yeah, I know it's been.
Shane
Like, cloudy, but tomorrow's gonna be really hot.
Ronnie Caram
I love talking about the weather with you. So they go to something about her little restaurant in West Hollywood. Yes.
Ben Mandelker
So they. They. Angelica orders the Kate, and now it's like, I love a blt. I can. I. Can I do mine without avocado, though? Oh, my God. This is, like, crazy. Okay, okay, I got it. I got it. Okay, so tell me what's going on. Angelica, she's like, I probably have been.
Angelica
Like, a little too active since surgery. Like, I moved the last couple of days. Like, the day I was, like, moving yesterday, like, oh, my God, my ex stopped by the house, and I was like, oh, my God, my ex is here. And he's been, like, actively checking on me and being like, what are you doing? And I was like, well, we were on the side trip. Did anything happen? You know, like, all these, like, really fun updates for everyone to hear about.
Ronnie Caram
Watching these girls eat those sandwiches was hilarious, because usually on the show you don't see anybody eating. But these sandwiches are humongous. They're huge. They're bigger than Their heads, which I don't remember, but were they really that big? I mean, they are humongous. And Angelica's not touching hers. And Natalie's, like, loving it.
Ben Mandelker
You know, she's actually in, like, teddy melon camp. She is stuffing her face. And, like, no matter how many bites she takes, there's still so much sandwich left. And you can also see the fillings coming out the sides. It's like, definitely one of those sandwiches where the more you eat it, the more comes out the back. So eventually have to, like, rotate it around and take some bites out of the back. Otherwise it's going to fall off and then you have to rotate all the way back around. And I have a weird sandwich where there's, like, most majority of your bites in the front, but then there's like a weird shark bite at the back of your sandwich. And she's totally going through that.
Ronnie Caram
Yeah. So she's like, yeah, well, you can't stay friends with your exes. Like, I mean, duh. Like, oh, my God, you're so right.
Shane
Like, I was so delulu.
Ronnie Caram
So now they're talking about how now Angelica's already seeing a new guy, and.
Shane
She'S like, yeah, and it's becoming, like, really serious. Like, I'm literally picking him up from LAX tomorrow and he's gonna spend the night.
Ben Mandelker
I don't want to be heartless, but that's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Okay. Because you know that, like, that saying that, like, healing is not like a straight line. It's like a wobbly line. It's like, crazy. She's just, like, looking for love anywhere she can find it. I mean, picking a guy up from lax, that's cry, cry.
Shane
Yeah, but, like, he travels for work and he's just, like, so excited to pick up the bill.
Ronnie Caram
And I'm.
Shane
I'm not used to that because I always pick up the bill.
Ben Mandelker
Oh, poor. What?
Ronnie Caram
You're way too hot to be always picking up the bill. What is going on? How does anybody stay in this town? What are we even doing here? I'm leaving again.
Angelica
When I was in my last relationship, I had, like, met the man in my dreams. And I was thinking, like, how is it that a guy like this is single? Like, why is he, like, why isn't he single when, like, I'm single? So then, like, after Shane broke up with me, he was, like, the first person I messaged. Like, hello, do you remember me, babes?
Ben Mandelker
So Natalie's like, yeah, but by the way, what's Going on with Shane, by the way.
Angelica
I don't know. It's, like, so weird now because he, like, went from, like, wanting to, like, be romantic that, like, cutting that off. The moment that I had any emotions.
Ben Mandelker
I'm like, it wasn't that you had any emotions is that you were being totally, you know, gossipy and full of drama with the whole incest thing. Which is a funny thing to say, but. But, yeah, she's like, I had emotions.
Ronnie Caram
He.
Angelica
Dummy.
Ronnie Caram
What? Yeah, well, he was, like, even coming on to me the other day. She was.
Shane
Wait a minute. Shane was coming on to you again? Like, do I need to, like, stab you? I'm kidding. I'm not kidding.
Angelica
Neuroscience joke. Oh, seriously, like, you're gonna trail backwards just because I wasn't there for a week? Like, me leaving and going to use it was supposed to make you.
Ronnie Caram
Like. Well, I went to this party and Audrey was there and Chris and Jason and me and Shane. And then I was just, like, catching up with him, and he was like, I feel like, you know, I'm Talking to the NAT that I used to FaceTime and phone call with and, like, stuff like that. And then we see photos of him, like, kissing her cheek. And Angelica just says, ew.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, I asked Jason for permission to revisit this. And first of all, why would you have to. Like, he said that I asked Jason for permission, and I was like, ew. Like, why would you have to ask Jason for permission? Because, like, me and Jason aren't even anything. Like, Angelica's.
Angelica
Like, wait, you guys seem like a thing for, like, that's weird.
Ben Mandelker
Things like. No, it's, like, not a thing, though. Like, it's just like. It's just like a thing. Like, we kiss and then did art. Like, that's it, though. Like, y'. All.
Ronnie Caram
Because, like, anyone when I'm drunk, I mean, he wasn't matching my energy, and I was like, woohoo.
Shane
Jason. Jason. You know, I mean, that's it. It was just that day.
Ronnie Caram
So I don't know. I just do what I want to, just. Yeah, but Shane told me pretty horrible things, I'm sure.
Shane
Yeah. Because he was like, I feel like I never have anything to say to Nat because she doesn't, like, intellectually stimulate me.
Ronnie Caram
Okay. Damn. Burn.
Ben Mandelker
Yes. And that was like. To me, that's, like, an inside thought. But if she wants to tell me that, it's, like, not really gonna hurt my feelings because I'm really busy eating this sandwich. It, like, will not go down. Like, it's just like a Lot of sandwich. But, like, I know that, like, she liked him for, like, five days. Like.
Ronnie Caram
Yeah. So Angelica says she doesn't want to be bothered, but they had a great connection, and he stopped it for no reason, and it hurt. And now we get Lisa coming into. In her shift.
Ben Mandelker
It's.
Ronnie Caram
She's like, oh, hello. Anything happening I should know, Audrey? Nothing. All right, well, that's good, I guess. Just lean on the heat lamp. Oh, did you burn yourself? It's a heat lamp, you goddamn idiot. All right, where's a broken mail for me to discuss things with?
Ben Mandelker
Oh, Venus, I need to talk to you quickly, all right? No, quickly. You're supposed to speak quickly so I can move on to someone else. Oh, okay. Are you prepared for pride? I'm fully prepared. I just washed my trade shorts, so I'll be able to use them again. I'm doing amazing. Good. This event has to be amazing. Not you, darling. Have you put out all the flyers? Where do the rubber duckies go?
Ronnie Caram
Also, I'd appreciate it if you didn't wear shorts that say trade to the restaurant. We don't like to be that obvious here. So subtle. Subtle. Human trafficking. It's all right, my darling. All right, now tell me about flyers. The magical way to get people into the restaurant.
Ben Mandelker
Flyers.
Ronnie Caram
He's like, well, I think me and all the girls are gonna go out Friday night. We're gonna, like, pass them around to people. Like, West Hollywood's Friday night. How will anyone make plans?
Ben Mandelker
It's a bit late, isn't it? Now, question. Did you put out an advertisement in the personal ads? Ooh, that's the real way to reach people. FL and personal ads. Very 2026am radio.
Ronnie Caram
Ever heard of it?
Ben Mandelker
What about a telegraph? So then we go to people working, and Jason is like, hey, you guys got a new host today. It's me. And Audrey's like, yeah, I got you. I'm gonna train you. I'm gonna train you. And then Shane walks.
Shane
Hey, guys.
Angelica
And Angelica's like, hey, Shane, I heard some stuff about you that, like, made me kind of sad. And it wasn't just me who was sad. It was all three of us. New boobs.
Shane
What'd you hear about me?
Ronnie Caram
So she takes him outside to have yet another discussion with someone she's not dating.
Shane
He's like, well, I gotta say, those boobs look incredible, baby. I'm sorry, I can't keep my eyes up.
Ronnie Caram
Hold on, hold on. Let me put my arms up here so I can't see them. Let me just.
Shane
Wow.
Ronnie Caram
It's cool.
Shane
Okay, what are we talking about again now? Wow.
Angelica
You should be used to looking at me through my eyes. I mean, not that there was, like, anything that was going on between us.
Ben Mandelker
And Shane's like, you do have beautiful eyes.
Angelica
And she goes, thank you. We appreciate it.
Ben Mandelker
Wow. She might even surpass me as the hottest person at sir.
Ronnie Caram
The producer says you don't even work at sir.
Shane
He's like, that doesn't matter. I hang out there, so I'm still the hottest one. Well, what happened in the last week while I was away? Like, you want to have something with Natalie now? What the heck? He's like, what happened? Well, we all went out. We ended up being a little friendly. We didn't do anything. We didn't make out. I mean, what's the big deal? I mean, yeah, but, like, okay, let's. Come on, let's go out. Let's go outside before this place gets really busy. He's like, whoa, we didn't make out.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, now they go to the back alley. Because actually, we forgot that this started at the host stand, then went to a little bit away from the host and. And now is in the back alley. God, they're such amateurs. Don't, you know, go directly to the back alley?
Ronnie Caram
Smoking alley. Every time. That's what it's there for.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. So they go to the back, and in the meantime, at the host stand, Jason's like, hey, Audrey, I'm really chatty. Because, yeah, you can't do that here. You can't talk. I mean, you could talk to people as they walk in, but you can't, like, you just can't, like, just talk in general. She's like. He's like, really? Yeah, because like, one person has to be here at all times. This is like, the most important post in all of Hollywood, okay? And if you're talking, then you're not cleaning, and if you're not cleaning, then you're not dreaming. If you're not dreaming, you're not making on comedy. You hear what I'm saying?
Ronnie Caram
So back to Angelica.
Shane
I thought you didn't even like Natalie. He's like, well, I think I was maybe kind of. Were you lonely or something? Because I wasn't here. It's like, you know, it sounds so bad when you say it that way. Like you're at a party, you're kind of alone. Then we were just kind of linked up, and I don't know, I guess I feel like a dickhead about it.
Angelica
You mean like a tool?
Ben Mandelker
He's like, yeah. So then Audrey's like, hey, hey, Jason, how are you and Natalie? Didn't you guys have a date? And he's like, we did. It was fun as hell. We were flirting and stuff. Made art, put blue paint on her nose. She got lead poisoning afterwards. It was great. And Audrey's like, yeah, well, Angelica talked to me today. Yeah, here's another. Here comes our 500th flashback of the episode flashback to the doc. And we're back. And she said that Shane talked to you because he was gonna ask you for your blessing to reopen things with Natalie. Oh, God.
Ronnie Caram
He's like, what the fuck? Not even a single week ago, Shane told me, you have my blessing, go after Natalie. So if he told me, hey, bro, I still have feelings for her, I wouldn't have done that. It feels very two faced. And now I've wasted a painting date.
Ben Mandelker
I know. So then in the alley, Shane's like, yeah, show I also, I am interested in you. Now that you brought the brush to my attention, I'm realizing I do, I do still have some interest in you. Angelica, she's like, I don't know. Meanwhile, she's just proclaimed that the guy she's picking up from LAX is like the love of her life, the most perfect man. But now she's like, maybe Shane, you don't know. You don't know.
Angelica
She's like, no, not based on what you told me. So I started to talk to someone else. I'm in love. I'm getting married tomorrow.
Shane
He's already that serious.
Ronnie Caram
Whoa.
Shane
I'm picking him up from lax.
Ben Mandelker
Whoa.
Shane
That's basically marriage. That's crazy Lax.
Ben Mandelker
This gets a bigger reaction to him probably than when he woke up at the hospital and they said, you've been shot 12 times. He's like, heck yeah, you know what? That's just what happens to hot people. But like, I'm picking a guy from lax. Holy shit.
Shane
Shouldn't have had me when you had me. Doesn't he know that someone like me is not gonna stay single for long? He had a window where I was available. And now he's gotta get in the back of the mind, buddy, lady, the.
Ben Mandelker
Moment he texts you and says, let's get ice cream, you are gonna be there dressed as a cone. So Angelica's like, I'm rooting for you.
Angelica
And Natalie to work out those good luck.
Ben Mandelker
And he's like, wait, wait, that's how it is? Are you kidding? Like, I don't get to touch the boobies?
Angelica
No, I'm going inside now.
Ronnie Caram
Meanwhile, Jason goes up to Natalie, and he's like, did Shane ask you to open up things with you again? And she's like, I mean, he was like, you look so good. I might revisit ha. Something like that. Well, what did you say? I was like, I'm sure you would love that, wouldn't you? I mean, it's a very full circle. I was like, I don't know. I mean, so Shane comes up and.
Shane
He'S like, hey, guys.
Ronnie Caram
And Jason goes, what's up, bro? You sly little fox. He's like.
Ben Mandelker
And then they all start making fun of Shane. Jason's like, hey, you want to go outside real quick? And she's like, oh, my God. So we're going back out to the alley already? So now, like, what the actual oh, my God. So they all go back outside, and now. And there, by the way, there's this security guard in the background who clearly, like, is there for production. Like, they have to have, like, security guard. And this person, she's just sitting there like, oh, God, these twits are out here arguing again. Why did I take this job?
Ronnie Caram
So it's Jason and Shane. Jason's like, still. Angelica said you were talking to Natalie some. I mean, is she making up? And he's like, no.
Shane
Okay, well, let me just kind of explain.
Ronnie Caram
No, but she said to Audrey that you talked about. Like, you talked about. You talked to me about.
Shane
Wait, we haven't talked yet. We haven't talked yet. So I haven't talked to you about it because we haven't talked yet.
Ronnie Caram
So he's like, but that's what she said. So then Audrey just comes right out, and she's like, okay, guys, I brought this up accidentally. I didn't mean to. Angelica was like, shane wants to reopen things with Natalie. Sorry.
Ben Mandelker
Okay, well, that's dramatic, because in my mind, I wasn't even sure if it was something I was going to pursue yet. And I was just like, yeah, well, they just went on a date, you know, Jason and Natalie. And Jason's like, yeah. So it's like the last time I went on a date with Angelica, before I knew it. You're macking on Angelica. And then I went on a date with Natalie. And then out of nowhere, you're like, you want Natalie back? So I was like, fuck.
Ronnie Caram
So now Natalie comes out to the alley. They're still talking, and Shane's like, what's up?
Shane
We're in a little bit of a debacle.
Ronnie Caram
She's like, why? Well, if you're open minded with going out with Shane, Then I'd be like, okay, I'm just gonna step out, but, like, I'm gonna be friends. She's. We've always been friends. What are you even talking about?
Ben Mandelker
No, I mean, we're friends, but, I mean, we made art. Like, that's kind of like. That's romantic. That's, like, sick, bro. Like, that's like, we're, like, in love, bro.
Ronnie Caram
But I had a connection with Shane before, okay? And I didn't think we had a romantic connection. And I think we were just, like, having fun. I mean, that's the difference.
Shane
Shane's like, well, it's not about you. It's about me and his friendship.
Ronnie Caram
She goes, okay, well, then, bye. What am I even doing out here?
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. She's like, oh, then I don't care. He's like, let's not be. It's not that dramatic. And that is like, I'm just saying. So that, like, what you. What do you need from me? Like, why does anyone care if we go out? It's like, well, yes, because you had just gone on a day. And so, like, maybe he was like, maybe I'm into her. And that's like, who went on a date? Audrey's like, you guys went on an art date, right? She's like, I mean, we didn't go on a date, though. We just, like, threw art. We threw paint at each other. And Jason's like, I thought it was a date, though.
Ronnie Caram
How. How was that a date? Like, how was that a date? He's like, but I was starting to feel you. And then I was just like, okay, I'll see where your energy's at. And, like, it's cool. Like, remember when I put paint on your nose? That's like, date. She's like, okay. He goes, so we could just be friends. She goes, yay. You know?
Ben Mandelker
She's like, that's what I thought we were. Jason's like, all right, cool. And she's like, huh. I still got some shit to talk about, though. And Jason's like, okay, go after it, bro. And I was like, ew. She's like, you guys are both gross.
Ronnie Caram
These stupid guys fighting over a girl they're not even dating. She's like, what's going on with the men on this show now? It's three of them that think they're in a relationship with people. They're all these, like, Hollywood guys who are pretending to be in relationships for storylines. And the girls are like, what you talking about?
Ben Mandelker
So then Jason tells Shane well, go after it, bro. Like, go after Natalie. Go after it. So Natalie's like, what? Go after it? What am I, a dog? And just like, no, no, I'm just saying, do what you want to do. She's. You know, at this point, I'm not interested in either one. And, you know, who gets to decide who I'm going to give my attention to? Lisa Vanderpump. So they need just to stop.
Ronnie Caram
I hate men.
Shane
I hate them.
Ronnie Caram
I hate all of them. And you know what? I hate both of you right now. Okay? And you know what's even worse? I'm on the clock.
Ben Mandelker
So Venus then shows up at a brewery and Lawless. Lawless Lucy's place. And meets up with Marcus. Is that the Xena. The Xena call. So they choose. They talk about. They get. Order some beers and. And so Venus is like, I would love to get up right now, but since gay pride is coming up, I just want to, like, preserve my slim ways and a fat ass. And Marcus says, well, this will be the first time the two of us have hung out in the world. You know what I'm saying? Like, cheers. The whole time, you know, me and Venus's relationship is in an interesting place right now. It does feel good to have it go again. But, like, deep down, it's like a little bit of, like, I don't know. We don't. They're. I don't know what's going on there for me personally, you know?
Ronnie Caram
Okay. Like, I want to tell you something, but no judgment. He's like, I mean, depends. You're talking to me like, I'm going judge. I'm gone. So he's like, well, Kimberly's made an executive decision about something that she's intending on doing with her body. Oh, my God, that bitch is getting a shit job.
Ben Mandelker
No, she's going to stop taking something. Oh, my God, she's going to stop taking the bus to work. I knew that bitch was going to change. No, it's something about. It's a pill that she's gonna stop taking.
Ronnie Caram
A pill that's gonna stop taking birth control. What the.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, well, she already did. What? And so Venus is like, there's no way that Marcus is ready to have a baby. He sleeps on a mattress in the corner of his bedroom. So Venus like, well, you need to wear a condom. He's like, that's not gonna happen. So you pull out. Yeah, that's what we're thinking. It's like the new method for us. No problems.
Ronnie Caram
Yeah, that's not that's not going to work. And he's like, yeah, that doesn't stop a baby. Okay, do you want a child right now? Is that what you want? What the fuck you thinking, bitch? I love you, but you're definitely not ready for a baby. Neither is Kim.
Ben Mandelker
He's like, but I've raised two dogs. He's like, I'm rooting for him. And let's. Let's be so for real. Until he becomes an adult, children are off the table because he is a walking toddler, and that baby would be drinking a Miller Light.
Ronnie Caram
So Marcus is not listening. He's like, you know, I'm getting older. It's not. It's not time to wait until it's perfect anymore, you know? But, like, it would be cool to have, like, a new lineage that comes from my parents, you know, like, to have a son that reminds me of my dad. I mean, I'm sorry about your dad, but that's not a reason to have a son. Okay, Anything. Yeah, just. Just have Guillermo take you out to ice cream or something. Do not bring a child into this world.
Ben Mandelker
Or Peter. So Venus is there, but now they start complimenting each other for being better at communicating. And. Or. And also, like, Kim. Kim and Marcus are communicating better, too. And Marcus says the communication's gotten better. And Venus, like, yeah, well, I'm glad, because I don't need any negativity at Pride. You and her better not be fighting. There better not be no weird shit at the season finale of Vanderpump Rules, because if you have a fight at Pride during the season finale, I'll be so mad.
Ronnie Caram
He's like, no, we're just there to celebrate your day, bro. He's like, well, I'm going to pray, you know, because I don't usually pray, but I'm going to pray for Kim. That's right. You better keep that dick out of Kim unless you got it covered.
Ben Mandelker
And now we go to a comedy club called the First Run of Vanderpump Rules. Or, I'm sorry, it's called Accidental Chaos. So Parker is there. He's like, oh, my God, Audrey, I just saw Nervous. Oh, my God. It's gonna be amazing. My bangs are excited for you. It's gonna be so good. You're gonna roast everyone. It'll be so bad. It'll be a. Parker is such an agent of destruction because he's not a full time cast member. He's just on the side telling Audrey to follow her worst impulses. And then he's just like, Laughing as, like, destruction follows.
Ronnie Caram
It's like, fuck up. Who gives a fucking shit? Fuck. Because fuck, you're about to be fucking roast everybody. I mean, it's gonna fuck so bad. Go fuck. So Angelica comes and, you know, everybody comes. They're like, oh, my God, I'm so proud of her. She's amazing. She has so many hidden talents, you know? And everybody's like, wow, Audrey, you're gonna do so great. And Natalie just ignores Jason and he's like, I think it's a little fucked up that Natalie's snubbing me. Like, if anybody was to do snubbing, it's me, Justin Bieber hair, right now in this testimonial, you know, like, through all my past relationships, I've learned one thing. You'll never win an argument with penis bump.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. And also, by the way, Chris shows up and he, like, kisses her on the lips, right? And, you know, I think we. I think one thing that we forgot to mention was that, like, Jason was saying how Chris is so weird when it comes to women. Like, one moment he's in, one moment he's out. Like, this one time he did a porn with this girl, and then he was, like, totally into her, but then she was like, let's travel the world. He said, no, I can't, because what would the world think if I were dating a porn star? And it was just too bad.
Ronnie Caram
Oh, my God, yes. I forgot about that part. We all got all moralistic. Yeah, he's like. He got all moralistic. He's like, oh, my God, that girl want. That girl who porn with me wants to date me. I'm way too classy for her.
Ben Mandelker
Like, how could I even date a porn star? I mean, at least be my cousin first. So along those lines, Chris is like, oh, man, I hope she roasts the out of me. Because roasting is part of my love language. Just like the Italian New Jersey part of me. I love when people make fun of me.
Ronnie Caram
I do not believe you, sir. So Chris is like, I'm going to be dodging them like, Mike Tyson, bro. And Audrey's like, I don't know, they may hit you pretty good. I've worked with a professional comic, Sarah Colana, everybody. Sarah Colana. Sarah Colana's at home. Just like, oh, God.
Ben Mandelker
I don't. Please don't associate me with this. It wasn't.
Ronnie Caram
I didn't even get to meet Lisa Vanderbump.
Ben Mandelker
So the Shane walks up and he's got a girl on his arm, like, and everyone's like, oh, my God. Angelica's like, oh, my God.
Angelica
Showing up with another girl. That is like, so chain of Shane. Like, she needs to learn that he's not gonna have any access to my sandwich until I'm the only sandwich on his menu.
Ronnie Caram
Are you thinking that you're still giving confessional during the sandwich shop scene?
Ben Mandelker
That's what I thought because I was like, where'd the sandwich same. I think that's what it was. I think that she. She thought she was. They probably took it as a reaction. They're like, what did you think about Natalie saying that about Shane?
Angelica
Well, her face was a sandwich.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. What do you think about Shane?
Angelica
He can't have my sandwich.
Ben Mandelker
But out of context, it just makes no sense. Yeah, exactly.
Ronnie Caram
I'm sorry, I got lost here. Yeah. So she's talking about the sandwich, and then the MC is like, okay, next comedian. Coming up to Accidental Chaos. Has anybody heard of this club? Not me either. She's very special. It's her first time doing comedy. She's never done a roots.
Ben Mandelker
It's Audrey, everybody.
Ronnie Caram
And I'll just think, oh, my God, thank you so much. It's so intimidating. So it's my first time doing standup comedy. So give it up, y'.
Ben Mandelker
All.
Ronnie Caram
Give it up. And they do. They're like, there's a lot of weird straight guy energy in this crowd. Did you notice? And when at the end, they're like, audrey, Audrey, Audrey.
Ben Mandelker
Over a car.
Ronnie Caram
What the fuck is happening at this club?
Ben Mandelker
It did not feel like a real stand up comedy show. It felt like a stand up comedy show as written by the movies. Because, you know, when people do stand up in the movies, they're always, like, awkward at first, but then when they start to do well, everyone starts laughing and cheering in a way that, like, people don't do it as clubs ever. So Audrey's like, okay, guys, here comes this. The set is starting. Okay. Okay. I thought by starting off by telling you guys a little bit about myself. I'm blonde, I'm 22 years old. And you can draw a direct link between my jokes and Sarah Colonna. Thank you very much. Sarah's like, no, don't just keep moving forward. I have a lot of tattoos. Yes. So to the answer to your question, what you're all thinking, yes, my parents are really proud of the stripper I almost became. Thank you. That was a Colonna. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Ronnie Caram
I'd like to thank my mentor, Sarah Colana for that one.
Ben Mandelker
She's like, does anyone mind if after every joke, I just give a shout out to Sarah Colonna. Is that okay? Yeah.
Ronnie Caram
So I dated a girl for three years, and after that, he transitioned into a man, which was, like, really weird for me. I was like, oh, my God, I just got dumped by both sexes. And then after him, though, like, I'm strictly dickly. I'm only dating men now, which is really rough, especially out here in L. A. Because, like, everyone's a fuck boy. You guys, like, everyone. Like, even my friends. Like the one back there, Shane. Yeah. He'll cry in the car listening to Frank Ocean while he's on the way to fuck two different girls in the same day. Yeah. And then he journals about it, and they'll be like, I'm really growing. Only two today.
Ben Mandelker
Hashtag colon on that one. Okay. And then I have, like, some other friends that. Like these two right here, Marcus and Kim, they're dating and they're in love. And then they, like, had this fight and, like, where he said that he was falling out of love with her. And I was like, girl, this man isn't falling out of love with you. Okay? He looks like he pays for his gas and quarters, right? See? See? It's quarters. It's. It's a coin. I know you guys are used to Apple pay, but it's like. It's. It's. So what you do is you take the coin. Four. Four quarters in a dollar. Just think about it. It's funny. It's really funny.
Ronnie Caram
I mean, I thought she was doing okay.
Ben Mandelker
She was doing actually okay. Yeah.
Ronnie Caram
I thought she was doing a pretty good job for her first time. Right? So she's like. Yeah. I mean, like, I was talking to the bartender because free drinks, you know. Oh, he's right over there. Yeah, he's great. I slept over at his house, and I look over and there's, like, a penis bump. I mean, I was like. And the crowd is chanting, penis pump. Penis pump.
Ben Mandelker
That was so weird. I feel like people don't do that in comedy clubs. So they're all chanting it. Angelica's like, oh, my God.
Angelica
What the fuck? I left for one week and y' all get a sense of humor. Like, what? I was burned at the stake when I dared to say the words penis bump. And now Audrey's getting the whole crowd to chant it. If I got a bunch of stage any penis bump, I'd probably get tomatoes pelted on at me. And those are not going in my sandwich that Shane can't eat until there's no sandwiches left for him to eat until my sandwich is the only one left on the counter for him to eat. Am I right, guys?
Ronnie Caram
Yeah. So I ended up telling my coworker, that girl over there, that dumb slut, about this penis pump. And she was like, okay, well, let me go tell everybody else about it. And I was like, girl, shut the fuck up. And so, like, next time I saw her, we were arguing about the penis pump. And halfway through she's like, you're supporting the pump because you're like, seeking male validation. And I was like, honey, you live with your ex.
Ben Mandelker
And then all of a sudden, her stand up set, which was going pretty well, just comes to a halt. It's like, wait, oh, that was a joke. Or you're just airing a grievance now. That was not a joke. And everyone's like, oh.
Ronnie Caram
And it was the most obvious one too. It's like a penis pump should be the easiest one to write jokes from and, like, roast the guys on that. But instead she's like, yeah, that girl lives with her ex. And so Angelica's like, oh, okay. And Parker's just like, oh. The gay is like, oh, I watered this plant and I watched it grow.
Ben Mandelker
Oh, God, I am Seymour. And she is literally Audrey too. So Audrey is like, I mean, that's not independence. That is emotional homelessness. Okay? Am I right, everyone? Everyone's like, ah, yeah, okay. And you're calling me desperate. Honey, you're negotiating bedtimes with someone that not only ruined your credit, but also your self worth. Ha ha ha. Right, guys? Am I right? Am I right?
Ronnie Caram
Everyone's like, oh, God, everyone's really uncomfortable. And Angelica's like, God. And she goes, yeah, I mean, don't worry. She's killing it on Instagram though. She really is. She's posting mirror selfies up there, being like, really reflecting on life nowadays. And I'm like, no, honey, you just found Facetune and symmetry. Okay, Damn. Oh, my God.
Ben Mandelker
Okay. Everyone's like, okay. Kim goes. Goes, that hurts. Nadia's like, huh? Anyway, and so Angelica gets up to leave, and then they're like, no. And she's like, I don't want to be here. Audrey's like, no, no, no, don't leave. Okay, I'll see you later. Text your ex I said hi. I was like, damn.
Ronnie Caram
God, she just keeps going and going. She sucks. And I'm glad that the cast stood up to it. Well, at least behind her back so far.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, this was shitty.
Ronnie Caram
Kim's like, yeah, this is not Girls Supporting Girls. And that's not funny. Like, that's that. Yeah, that's not cool. Natalie's like, yeah, I mean, I feel bad, but she killed it. So that was fun. So Angelica leaves and Shane runs out, and he's running. He's asking her boobs if they're okay. And she's like.
Shane
I mean, I was like, a lot. Yeah, but she was trying to start to say some nice shit after. But then you left. You didn't give her a chance to say the nice stuff.
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, clearly the nice stuff was coming around the corner. So then.
Ronnie Caram
And then Audrey's still going inside. Inside. She's like, yeah, I seek male validation, but at least I don't live with my ex and call it healing. Oh, dumb girl.
Ben Mandelker
You're 20. You're 22. Give it a. Give it six months and then we'll see who's making these jokes. Right? Won't be long. So, Angelica, it's like, I want to go. And so Shane. Shane. She walks away. She walks away from Shane. And that is the. The cliffhanger. So next week is pride. And this will all come to a head, as it always does on Vanderpump Rules. Very exciting stuff.
Ronnie Caram
