Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Bravo Hot Topic: Amanda & West Rumor

• (04:00 – 12:30)
  • The hosts open by addressing a major piece of Bravo gossip: rumors that Amanda (from Summer House) is hooking up with West.
  • Ronnie recounts hearing the rumor first at SXSW ("I just didn’t believe it...old queen in a bar news isn’t always true." – Ronnie, 05:11).
  • They analyze social media breadcrumbs, cryptic posts by Lindsay and Carl, and the fandom’s rampant speculation.
  • Ben compares the pace of the drama to Scandoval ("It's not scandal level because it's having a slow simmer to a boil as opposed to Scandal, which like dropped like a bomb" – Ben, 11:58).

2. Married to Medicine Reunion Part 1 Recap

• (12:40 – 51:00)
  • The hosts question whether this should’ve been a two-parter ("This could have been a one-part reunion...I didn’t need this. How about you?" – Ronnie, 13:02).
  • Ben enjoyed the husbands’ segment, saying their drama has been building for 12 years and finally "boiled over" (13:06).
  • Quick resolution to last week's Simone vs. Jackie cliffhanger is lampooned:
    • ("It was literally 30 seconds. Because as it turns out, the thing they’ve been promoting – 'we are never getting back together' – was just, ‘Oh, with you I’m fine.’" – Ben, 14:45)
    • Jackie reassures Simone: "You did not push Heavenly." – Jackie (15:12)
  • Discussion of “unfollow/follow” drama on social media ends amicably and comically.
  • Backstage, the husbands rib each other before taking the stage, with tension between Eugene and Curtis coming to the forefront: accusations around Curtis allegedly being too "handsy" with others besides his wife.

3. All About the Husbands

• (19:47 – 47:25)
  • Curtis confronts Eugene about Toya’s accusations ("She got on national TV and said that I put my hands on her, and I put hands on other women." – Curtis, 20:25)
  • Ben and Ronnie point out Curtis’s inconsistency—he admits to pulling Toya into his lap but argues over semantics, refusing to apologize outright for past behavior.
    • ("If Curtis thought he was just playing around, but it made Toya uncomfortable, he could have 100% just apologized for that, and Jackie could have apologized for that, and they could have moved on." – Ben, 37:26)
  • Steve wags his finger (literally) at Eugene, repeatedly accusing him of being “convenient” and not holding others accountable (a running joke throughout).
  • Eugene insists his longevity on the show gives him authority, while Steve mocks him for it ("Eugene, you suck. ... Now you are turning into a real housewife." – Ronnie, 46:36).
  • Ben and Ronnie critique Andy Cohen’s lackluster moderating of the men's segment, noting he seems eager to return to the women and avoid resolving the men’s disputes. ("I don’t think he watches it. ... I want the ladies back here. I’m not here to talk to a bunch of husbands. If I wanted to have to deal with a husband, I would have found one for myself." – Ronnie, 48:26)

4. Medical Conversations Meets Bravo Absurdity

• (25:30 – 32:18)
  • Andy prompts a discussion about medical misinformation on social media and TikTok trends making doctors’ jobs harder.
    • ("One patient didn’t want a certain zodiac sign and refused to be delivered. Blood pressure elevated. 38 weeks. She just did not want a Virgo, Andy." – Jackie, 26:24)
  • The hosts relate, bemoaning the "stupidity" enabled by TikTok and linking it to issues in education.
  • Andy asks about DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) in medicine—Simone and Contessa speak passionately about Pell Grants and financial aid, and Quad spotlights a new federal rule that will recategorize nursing degrees (starting July 2026), with Ronnie quickly providing real-life context.
    • ("Honestly, if these nurses have to go around cleaning up the poop out of people’s beds, I think they are entitled to be called a medical profession." – Ben, 29:17)
  • Brief but poignant discussion on persistent health disparities in Black communities (31:46) and education around HIV prevention (32:18).

5. Highlight Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Ben on Reunion Drama:
  "I enjoyed the husbands chopping it up more than I thought I would. I feel like they’ve basically been biting their tongues for 12 years and finally they've had enough." (13:08)
• Ronnie on Andy Cohen:
  "He seems so, like, not like this. Why is he asking about this massage thing? ... He’s just like, ‘All right, get me through this. I want the ladies back here. I’m not here to talk to a bunch of husbands.’" (42:00 and 48:26)
• On Social Media and Medicine:
  "You go to medical school and you put in the hours in the residency, just have some ding dong being like, I know I may die, but it’s important for me not to have my baby this zodiac sign. Oh, my God." – Ben (26:34)
• Steve’s Finger-Wagging “Convenience” Theme:
  "Because it’s convenient! ... I do support her. She’s my wife… But you sat there and you support her for that lie. You support her. It’s convenient. It’s convenient." – Steve (21:24, 46:30)

Overall Tone & Notable Themes

• The hosts maintain their signature sassy, snarky, but ultimately affectionate tone throughout, never shying away from calling out both cast and Andy Cohen where due.
• Thematic threads include: the circular nature of Bravo drama, generational divides (social media/medical misinformation), and accountability (or lack thereof) among the cast—especially from the husbands.
• The men’s reluctance to own up to their on-screen and off-screen behavior and the contrast with how the women resolve issues forms the comedic backbone of the recap.
• Social commentary (especially regarding the state of education and diversity initiatives in medicine) is smoothly woven in, often sparked by the show’s own plot but extended (in classic Crappens fashion) into broader, often hilarious cultural observations.

you guys, I have some legendary news for you. 20 years after its debut, the HBO original comedy series the Comeback is finally back. I've always loved how the show skewers Hollywood, and seeing Lisa Kudrow return as the iconic Valerie Cherish is exactly what we need right now.

[Co-host Ronnie]

This season picks up over a decade later. Valerie is finally starring in a new show, but here's the twist. It's being written by AI. She's still navigating the chaos in the industry and chasing those big dreams with that same Valerie Cherish Cherish energy we adore.

[Brandi]

If you're watching this season, and you really should be, by the way, you've got to check out the official Comeback. Podcast host Evan Ross Katz is joined by Lisa Kudrow and Michael Patrick King to unpack every episode to dive into the show's origins and why Valerie is still such a relatable, resilient character after two decades.

[Co-host Ronnie]

You'll also hear from cast members like Laura Silverman and Ella Stiller, plus comedy powerhouses like Abby Jacobson and John Early. For anyone who loves a behind the scenes look at how iconic TV is made this this is a must.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Hello and welcome to Watch what Croppens I'm Ronnie, that's Ben. Hello, Ben. How you doing?

[Brandi]

I am great, thank you. How are you doing? Good.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Had a nice weekend. Played some sackboy with my nieces. Went to dinner with my family. Some big family time over here in Texas. What'd you do?

[Brandi]

I played a bunch of board games and I cooked some food and I went. I spent, like, yesterday, like, traveling around East Hollywood, going to a million different supermarkets. And I wasn't just, like. I got caught up in it. I was like, well, I'm so close to the. To the Armenian market, I might as well pop in there. Well, I'm so close to the Thai market and now might as well go there. Well, I'm so close to the Indian market. Might as well go there. I spent, like, all this so much time just getting random ingredients, and I had the best time.

[Co-host Ronnie]

So Hollywood shopping. So what do you do when you go to that many stores? You just have a ton of food now that's gonna go to waste in your house.

[Brandi]

It's just, like, random. It's just, like, random condiments and things like that. Like, there was this. I was thinking about making a Thai thing. I was like, oh, but I don't have that. I'm out of fish sauce. I was like, well, no, I can get my fish sauce. And I was thinking about making an Indian thing, and I was like, oh, but I don't have mustard oil. Like, ooh, but now I can get mustard oil. Oh, I was thinking about making this sweet potato thing, but involves, like, a Turkish tomato paste. I was like, oh, but now I can get it. So, you know, just a lot of condiments, and that's use of my time. A lot of jars.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Jarring weekend. It was a jarring weekend for you, so that's good. Well, everybody, if this is Married to Medicine Day, if you want these videos on, if you want these recaps on video, or you want bonus episodes or you want AD free listening or you want Discord server or you want a free newsletter, go over to patreon.com watch what crappens. Yeah, it's Married to Medicine Day. There has been some stuff going on in the Bravo world we should probably discuss because it went crazy over the weekend, and that is the rumors that Amanda and West from Summerhouse are hooking up. Have you've heard this? Obviously this has been going on for a while, eh?

[Brandi]

Yeah, I'm sure have.

[Co-host Ronnie]

When we were at south by Southwest, the rumor was going around a lot, and I only mentioned that because we were at a lot of Parties where people were talking about it and someone in our little circle who. I won't say her name because she probably won't appreciate that, but she said these rumors are confirmed. I know for a fact that west and Amanda are hooking up. I'm gonna say anything because, you know, old queen in a bar news isn't always true. And I just didn't believe it. I just didn't believe it. And I was like, I'm not gonna play into this. It's probably a joke. Amanda has been known to, you know, lead us on in social media and not tell us the truth until she's ready, which is her right. But I just don't believe anything these people say. But apparently it's looking more and more true. And the world has gone crazy. The world has been lit on fire. Amanda's being chased down streets and pushed down subway steps, I would imagine. But, yeah, the rumor is that they're hooking up. And this started again last week when Amanda and Sierra were supposed to do an Amazon Live together and didn't. And everyone was like, what if you don't show up to your Amazon Live together, that means you hate each other, which it would in our case. I mean, if you decided to do a separate Amazon Live for me, I'd be pissed.

[Brandi]

I think that would definitely be really awkward for all of our listeners if we, like, appeared on separate Amazon lives. By the way, we're on Amazon Live today. Yeah. And then there was all this stuff. The Internet sleuth. Sleuth started sleuthing. It's like west has the same sweatshirt as Amanda. Is it?

[Co-host Ronnie]

Where is it?

[Brandi]

Did Amanda take West sweatshirt? What happened? Amanda dab and his hat, and Amanda dabbed something off of his cheek. What's going on with that? And then the big thing that really set made things go nuts is that Lindsay Hubbard, out of nowhere, posted a screenshot of herself over the weekend going like this. Huh? And everyone's like, what? Why would Lindsay just post that?

[Co-host Ronnie]

And.

[Brandi]

And then it was like. Then she posted a picture of her with Sierra hugging Sierra tightly. And then there was a. There was like, a. A story with, like, Austin, and he posted something about, like, your friend ex.

[Co-host Ronnie]

It's a plate of pasta. It's like plates of pasta. They're having dinner. And it just said, apparently, pasta and your ex's. Your best friend. Exes are back in. I know. The lips kept moving on the post.

[Brandi]

Yeah. Now there's also some extra. An extra wrinkle there because. Was he talking about Sally? Because there's rumors of Kyle and Sally doing something. So I don't know. But now everyone is thinks that this is all coded. Then Kyle, I mean, Carl posted a screenshot of himself being like, oh, so

[Co-host Ronnie]

now Carl's doing that. That's a famous screenshot of Carl where he's just looking confused. It's just they posted on every Summer House thread, it's just Carl like, oh, so he posted that and they're like, oh my God. Car confirmed it. And then they post. KJ posted a picture of him looking like confused. Oh my God, kj. KJ did it too. And then who else posted. Someone else posted a picture of them looking confused. Two judgy girls posted, wow, everybody's so worried about Sierra's feelings in this. But no one has said, gee, how's Kyle going to feel? And then Kyle posted under like a crying face and like a. Yeah, that's right.

[Brandi]

Kyle also post. He also posted something in support of Amanda where he was like watching the episode back. It was just like terrible. I know I should be treated that way, but I think that was neither here nor there.

[Co-host Ronnie]

So I know that was just clean up after his own bad behavior on that episode.

[Brandi]

There's suspicion that the cast is just trolling the audience. But I will say, you know, let's never forget Lindsay has never truly liked Amanda less. People, you know, a lot of people don't go all the way back with Summer House, but we remember season two. Was it season two where Lindsay excised Amanda from a photo, a group photo, and Kyle wrote a 19 page manifesto in response. Was that season three or season two? Either way.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Two or three. Yeah.

[Brandi]

It was an early season, but like Lindsay cut Amanda out of the group photo. So they, by all accounts, they seem fine. But Lindsay sort of like embracing Sierra on her, on her IG story when all this stuff is going on. I don't know. I don't know.

[Co-host Ronnie]

I don't think it's a joke at this point because people really probably are pushing Amanda down subway stairs or like throwing cans at her head. You know, like people, the, the Bravo audience, if they hate you, especially for something like this, I mean, they're not going to be calm. I wouldn't, I wouldn't post this as a joke, especially if you're like prone to depression because this is not ever gonna make you feel that. I don't think Amanda would agree to like joke around about this. But I don't know because she is. They're all doing a lot of, you know, influencing and stuff. Like that right now. And it'll be like a post comes out and then Samantha doing an influencing post for Buffalo Wild Bills. Or what is that called? Buffalo Bills.

[Brandi]

Buffalo Wild Wings.

[Co-host Ronnie]

I'm believing that Amanda's eating at the Buffalo Wild Wings. Am I supposed to believe that? So she's doing that. And so people are like, well, may just doing it for the money, but I don't know, is it terrible to say that it doesn't. I don't really care if Amanda and West made out.

[Brandi]

Well, I, I just, I want better for her if she's going to get into a scandal with anyone. Like, just, why not? Why West? Why West? And also, I feel like there's been so much attention being put on Amanda. Like, oh, my God, what a. Which is. It's bad. It's bad for many different reasons. But also like, if it's, if it, if this is true. Let's also like reserve some heat for west, who we are. We watched half a season of him on Summer House complete, you know, moping around. Actually was all last season moping. And then this season, like, I think she likes me. I think I'm in love with her, you know, and if, if, if, if we, you know, if we know that he is actually having some sort of affair with Amanda this whole time, then like, really, I've had enough with him.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Yeah. Because he's obviously just using that for a storyline this season. Like, I'm so heartbroken with Sierra. Meanwhile, he liked Amanda that whole time. Yeah, it's pretty gross. And you know, he is a down, a downgrade from Kyle. I know Kyle makes everybody crazy, but, you know, Kyle becoming a dj, we're giving Kyle so much shit for that. But that's his second job. Like, he also is running this company into the ground, but still running a company and you know, that's like his second job. West. If west became a dj, we'd be like, oh, my God, west has a job like we deployed, you know, so he's a downgrade. And I really hope this isn't true, but it's looking true, so I don't know.

[Brandi]

Well, yeah, well, we will be tracking this story, everyone. Don't you worry. We'll be on top of it and we'll have all the late breaking news on this potential, you know, scandal level, some summer house issue. Summer.

[Co-host Ronnie]

I think it's scandal level, but they're trying to.

[Brandi]

They're trying. I think it's. It's not scandal level because it's having a slow simmer to a Boil as opposed to Scandal, which like dropped like a bomb, you know. And so I think it was likeness of. That was crazy.

[Co-host Ronnie]

And it wasn't cheating. Scandal was cheating. I mean that was like a 10 year relationship. He was cheating with the best friend and stuff. This wasn't that. They're like separated and whatever. And it's west. It would be Amanda Vol.

[Brandi]

Right, Amanda Vol. We already have Scamander Scan, Scandal, Scandal, House, Scummer House.

[Co-host Ronnie]

All right, well, enough of that. Let's get on to. Oh, I open notes for Survivor. This week's bonus episode is going to be a Survivor recap holler. Okay, so the wrong notes. Let me open Married to Medicine Season 12, Episode 16 Reunion Part 2. I'll just start by saying this could have been a one part reunion. You know, they had a super sized reunion last week. They could have just ended it. That's all I needed. I didn't need this. How about you?

[Brandi]

Or it could have been a two part one with one that's not supersized. I don't know. I mean, I enjoyed that. I enjoyed. I enjoyed the. The husbands chopping it up a little bit more than I thought I would. I feel like they've basically been biting their tongues for 12 years and finally they've had enough. You know, Eugene was like, we've been here for 12 years. There's never been this drama. It's like. Because they've all just. It's been building up. It's 12 years building up and everyone's like sick of Eugene, you know, but like, by and large, yes. You know, maybe, maybe we could have edited out some other segments that were not as.

[Co-host Ronnie]

It was a lot of retreads. It was just a lot of things that they already talked about last week that they're trying to keep it going for another episode. You had a super size. Was this super sized too?

[Brandi]

No, it wasn't.

[Co-host Ronnie]

So they had a super sized one last week. So at least cut out half and put it on this week and have a two part. I mean, I don't know, but it was like a bunch of talking about the same. But anyway, it's always enjoyable because it's these ladies. So it's. I always laugh, but I was like, all right, wrap it up. Wrap. Wrap it up, guys. Get the hook. So we ended last week with Simone crying and Jackie come to sit. Coming to sit right by her, being like, tell me, Tammy, Simone, what can I do? And Simone being like, I will not move forward. Never ever. Not gonna. Not Shauna, whatever she was Saying, I will not. And when we finished that episode, you said, until five minutes, when she will forgive her and it'll all be over. And I laughed, you know, but you were not exaggerating. It was literally. It was less.

[Brandi]

It was. I was actually. I was exaggerating. Five minutes was too generous. It was literally 30 seconds. Because as it turns out, the thing that they've been promoting, which is we are never getting back together. Taylor Swift. We are never. It is weak. I'm not. I cannot move. There is no moving forward, Jackie. And then when we come back and it's like. And he's like, what did you mean, you can't move forward with Heavenly? I was like, oh, come on. Oh, with you, I'm fine.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Yeah, I'm fine. With Jackie. Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I can't move forward with the narrative that I am aggressive and I'm unhinged and pushing people. Okay, but can you move forward with Jackie? And she's like, oh, yeah, Jackie, yeah, yeah. You know, but not if you can't take a stance on right and wrong. Okay. And you saw the footage. And Heavenly's like, but she did take a stance. She did take a stance on. You know, Heavenly's still trying to make a point over there. So Simone's like, jackie, I want you to tell me what the footage showed. Did I push Heavenly? Like, she's alleging. And she's like. And the answer is, no, you have not. You did not push her.

[Brandi]

I want to take accountability for what she did, though. Screaming at me. That's uncalled for. She screamed at me. Jack is like, but you did not push Heavenly. Thank you. All right.

[Co-host Ronnie]

That's all she needed to hear.

[Brandi]

No, no, no. But she needed to hear some more. She didn't tell him. She needed to. So Jackie's like, are you not threatening that. You are not threatening to anybody, not even a flea. Okay? I am on the record. And Simone's like, I may be shady, though. And then they're smiling and laughing, and Jackie's like, I'm gonna hug you. It's like, oh, you're gonna ask for permission to touch me? You've never had to do that before. Shut up. And then they hug, and it's all resolved.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Yeah. And everyone's like, oh, my gosh. And Jackie says, well, you should not have unfollowed me, though, Simone. And she goes, that's true. I shouldn. Simone, get your phone out and follow Jackie back. We are inspirational women. We are women who are there for each other through thick and thin through follows through unfollows. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappin's commercial.

[Brandi]

[Brandi]

All right, well, first of all, round of applause. I feel healed. I feel healed. You worked a miracle today, Andy. Praise him. I don't. I didn't work any miracle. Jessica goes, did you just say praise him? Yes, I did.

[Co-host Ronnie]

I'm praising him now. The rest of the ladies have seen the footage. Do you agree that Simone did not push or get physical? And they all agree and they go around the whole circle. It's like, hi, quad. Hi, Contessa. Hi, Mimi. It's literally every person. Contessa, what did you think? Mimi, what did you think? What did you think? What did you think? And they all say, no. And Contesta is like, yeah. And, you know, heavenly. Every time you start stuff, you literally go for security. Every single time. And she goes, no, no, that's for you. That's for you that I get security. That's for not one other person I'll use security on, but I will use it for you.

[Brandi]

Well, you. You use these trigger words that we're talking about, like you're unhinged. I'm saying, what is this? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I never say threatened. I said. I said she was volatile. That's all. So now we cut to the man in the back room, and Scott's like, okay, the ladies are looking good so far. And Curtis goes, hey, be careful how we talk. How you talk about my wife. The only lady on the screen was my wife. And he's got something to say. They're like, ribbing each other, you know, because Scott's saying that, like, oh. And, you know, like, oh, Jackie's fine. Jackie's fine. So they're going back and forth and seems like things are calmer backstage compared to the tension that happened earlier.

[Co-host Ronnie]

And then Curtis jumps in, and he's like, eugene, Eugene, please hear me. You know, in the group, we've talked about not getting ourselves caught up in the stuff that our wives do, but Toya has perpetuated this lie out there. And Eugene's like, what lie? What lie? What lie does she perpetuate? And he says, well, she got on national TV and said that I put on my hands on her, and I put hands on other women. So we see that clip from Watch what Happens Live. And Curtis is like, well, she said that other women told her that.

[Brandi]

And so Curtis is like, well, you speak to what your wife says because you're always agreeing with her. And he goes, well, oh, well, I don't know what they told her. It's like, why do you agree to it if you don't. If you don't know? Because. Because my wife has said that you pulled her. And then Steve is like, steve. What's so funny is that Steve has his little finger, and he's like, wagging his finger. The whole episode. He's going. He said he always pulls it out, this little finger. And he's like, because it's convenient. Because it's convenient. And curse is like, yeah, you sat there and you supported. You supported her, Eugene. And seems like. Because it's convenient. Because it's convenient. And Eugene's like, I do support her. She's my wife. It's like, but you sat there and you support her for that lie. You support her. It's convenient. It's convenient.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Call him at 7:11. It is convenient. It is Convenient. And so Eugene's like, well, what's the lie then? What's like, well, the lie is that I put my hands on different women. And Eugene goes, well too. And he goes, did I touch your wife? Yes, I did.

[Brandi]

Okay, well, she's like, thank you. Thank you for finally acknowledging what was blatantly on tv. And so Cecil's like, hey, guys, I think we missed some. Some other that's happening on TVs like, shut up, Cecil. They were finally getting somewhere.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Not really, because Curtis is just going to always come in with some bullshit that he's guilty of. That's the thing. Curtis, just be quiet. Curtis is not the messenger. Somebody to bring the message, but it's not you. You are not the messenger, sir.

[Brandi]

Yeah.

[Co-host Ronnie]

So we go back and Heavenly is like, yes, you are strong. You are strong, Contessa. And she says, well, based on what you went through. And she goes, oh, this one here, this one here. I will whip her. I will grab her by the throat. I'm not afraid of Simone, but I'm afraid of you, bitch. And Contessa is like, wait a minute. And he goes, wait, wait, just say something. Look, let me just say something. It's not the greatest look to say you felt physically threatened by her and then to say, I'm gonna rip your throat off. No, I said I was gonna whip her ass, Andy. That's what I said. I'm not gonna rip her throat. I'm gonna whip her ass.

[Brandi]

Okay, Whip her ass. And Brandi's like, that's unhinged. It's like, well, let's talk about the beginning. Fred, what's your name? We need to go back. Andy, is that your name? Frank.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Frank, what's your name?

[Brandi]

Him. And he does that thing where he wags his head and, like, looks, like, confused. Okay, whatever my name is, I'm only running this show. God. You know that Andy doesn't like having his name being forgotten. I mean, just look at his response to Sarah Michelle Geller last week, which is another thing.

[Co-host Ronnie]

That was.

[Brandi]

That was a big thing. You saw that, right?

[Co-host Ronnie]

I saw that. He was offended or whatever, but I didn't. I didn't read much about it. Tell me.

[Brandi]

Yeah, he was, cuz Sarah Michelle Geller went off about how Beverly Hills was just, like, so lame this season. And then Andy was on his radio shows. Like, she came into, like, radio. She had the radio Andy sign right behind and like, that's my show. And like, I love this season. Andy's like going. He is. He is standing two feet down that Beverly Hills is having a tremendous season. No one else agrees. And he got really mad at Sarah Michelle Geller. So I think that they're beefing right now.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Oh, Lord, Andy, get over it. Beverly Hill sucks this year. Everybody agrees. Like, nine out of ten dentists agree that Beverly Hills is boring as this year. Come on.

[Brandi]

Don't take it out on Buffy, okay?

[Co-host Ronnie]

Yeah. And don't. Don't have people on. Just because they're in your house doesn't mean they have to agree with everything. This isn't like a Real Housewives show. Like, don't be mean to me in my own home. Don't call me a whip in my own home. You're a wimp. Okay? If you don't want me to call you a wimp, don't invite me over.

[Brandi]

Yeah, exactly. So Simone's like, she doesn't know your name, Andy, but she has your vote. And Contessa says, well, let them know whose house it is. Andy. He's like, I'm working on it. You know, I did the right thing. I removed myself, and I was not gonna come on that girls trip. Brandy's like, but you still came on the girls trip.

[Co-host Ronnie]

All right, I want to switch gears. Okay, On a lighter note, let's talk about teaching kids medical professional. Blah, blah. It's a medical professional montage of like, oh, look at everybody working and doing great. Doing great work.

[Brandi]

The unspoken rule of reunions is that the second segment, they always have, like, a. Okay, here it is. The unspoken rule of reunions is that once they resolve the cliffhanger, the next segment is the one that you can go to the bathroom on. Because it's always like, the goofy segment where that's just not about nothing. It's like, okay, let's begin. Now, let's see the funny things that happen when you're teaching kids. Like, okay, go into the kitchen to get a diet Coke.

[Co-host Ronnie]

All right, well, great work, ladies. So Allah from Hamburg, California, says, I feel like social media has turned us into all. All into part time doctors. What health trend from social media makes you want to scream into the void? Because patients keep trying it. Jackie, Jackie, come on now. It's like, well, they don't want us to do certain things to the babies, and they don't want to take certain medicine because the TikTok trend says, don't do this. So we compete with tick tock all day long. Andy, I can't tell you the last time I was able to deliver a baby without first throwing my elbows to the right Throwing my elbows to the left and twerking. Andy. It's just how it is.

[Brandi]

Do you know how difficult it is to deliver a baby while the mother is singing Yo Ho oh, hands? They've just got to stop watching North Sea. Tick tock.

[Co-host Ronnie]

One patient didn't want a certain zodiac sign and refused to be delivered. Blood pressure elevated. 38 weeks. She just did not want a Virgo, Andy.

[Brandi]

They're just dumb. Yeah, that. Honestly, I can't imagine the doctors who have to deal with that. That's like, actually infuriating. You go to medical school and you put in the hours in the residency, just have some ding dong being like, I know I may die, but it's important for me not to have my baby. This zodiac sign. Oh, my God.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Well, yeah, like Tik Tok videos. Like, I don't want you to do that because I saw on a Tik Tok that you, you know, you're supposed to hold the baby this way. I mean, people have just gotten so stupid. I was watching this thing today, a TikTok probably about, and it was by teachers, and it was all these teachers who were quitting across the country, and they're like, I've just had it, man. I mean, these kids are idiots. And you can't tell them anything or you get kicked out or you get reprimanded or something. And they're just like, I'm done. Like, and people are just so stupid. The stories they're telling is like, okay, I tell them to open their books to page 14, and then they all just stare at me. And you've got 50 kids just staring at you like, huh. Open your books. Huh? And then if you say anything, if you call the parents, they're just like you. And they hang up on you.

[Brandi]

Wow. I don't know.

[Co-host Ronnie]

What do you do? The world's just gotten too stupid. Stay inside. That's what I say.

[Brandi]

Yeah, like, I'm sorry. Like, I. I do hear those stories. And I hear the stories about how. Yeah, like the. Like the. It's like, you can't say anything to the child. You can't. You can't reprimand. It's like, oh, my God, these poor teachers, these poor doctors. There's just stupidity out there. And it's just. It's too. It's. It's too much to deal with. Anyway, back to Bravo, which is not stupid at all.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Back to spending our lives talking about housewives.

[Brandi]

I know. Back to our work on a podcast called Watch what happens.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Back to our super intelligent lifestyles so Andy asks some political stuff. He's asking about dei, the cut and DEI and the education department affecting doctors of color. And Simone's like, well, I wouldn't be here if I didn't get the pell grant and other types of aid that didn't require me to pay it back. And you know, they're, you know, they're talking about DEI and stuff. And contest is like, yeah, I mean, I needed it too. Like, you can get an acceptance letter, but what does that mean if you can't go to the school? Like, if you can't afford to go, you know, my dad was a truck driver. My mom worked at the post office. So where are we going to get 400 grand to put me through medical school? Yeah.

[Brandi]

And then quad points points out that, that nurses are no longer deemed a medical profession, which I did not know that. And I mean, look, I don't, how

[Co-host Ronnie]

is that even possible?

[Brandi]

That's, that is wild. Who, who deemed that? That's absolutely absurd. Okay, if nurses, if nurses deal with

[Co-host Ronnie]

that, Is that a rhetorical question? Who deemed that?

[Brandi]

You know, who deemed that? Who deemed that? Honestly, if these, Honestly, if, if these nurses have to go around cleaning up the poop out of people's beds, I think they are entitled to be called a medical profession. I'm sorry. If they're taking my temperature, if they're taking my blood pressure, you in my mind are part of the medical profession. And that's crazy. That that was, that, that that was taken away from the nurses. That's crazy. I can't believe it. Now, of course, we're sitting here talking about like, look at these kids getting their news from tick tock and I'm literally getting my news from whatever quad is saying. Marriage, medicine, reunion. But I, I, it's, I, I, I feel like that has to be true.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Well, nursing has not stopped being considered a medical profession by the public. But starting July 1, 2026, the U. S. Department of education will stop classifying n practiced registered nurses as a professional degree for the purpose of federal student loan limits. The reclassification is part of a new federal regulation stemming from the trump administration proposal. One big beautiful bill act that redefines which graduate programs can access higher federal Federal loan limits. $50,000 a year. So you were wondering who, gee, I wonder who, I wonder who would have done that, that I want.

[Brandi]

I can't believe that the department of education that is now run by the former matriarch of the world wrestling federation now has decided to make nurses not medical Jesus who would have thought something chaotic like that would happen? This is.

[Co-host Ronnie]

With this timeline is just a joke. My God. So, yeah, they're all talking about what a travesty this is. You know, obviously it is. And Andy's like, well, you know, the show's always been unique, that it doesn't shy away from real world conversations. And so he asks about Alex Peretti, a fellow nurse, and his death during protest against ICE and doctors and nurses. What thoughts or emotions did that bring up? And Heavenly says it's devastating because a lot of people feel like a white man would have been protected because a white man died. That means we all can die. And we thought that they had privilege under this administration, but nobody does. And it's scary for all of us.

[Brandi]

Yeah. And then Andy asks about gaps in medical care, like mortality in black community, etc, and so Jackie is talking about that there's period poverty and the black community has more who die from breast cancer and cervical cancer and ovarian cancer and there's also colon cancer. And then Andy brings up that there has been an uptick in HIV amongst black women in Atlanta, to which Contessa notes that, you know, that's why it's important for everyone to be on prep. It's not just for gay men.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Yeah. Yeah. I was talking to friends recently and nobody even knew what prep. I mean, there were straight people, but they didn't even know what prep was. I was like, really? I guess gays are the only people afraid of hiv because take it so

[Brandi]

like a chef and do your prep.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Do your prep. The gay sex medication preventative HIV medication for really fancy people.

[Brandi]

Yeah.

[Co-host Ronnie]

If you're an epicurean who's having sex, please get on mise en place

[Brandi]

mise on prep. Okay, guess what? The husbands are now on stage. And because they're men, they. They cannot be put on sofas where they may risk touching themselves. Like, so they're put in chairs because that would be the worst if someone's shoulder brought no homo, bro.

[Co-host Ronnie]

No homo bro. No homo bro. And Eugene has gotten his wish. After acting like a housewife all season, he has been given first chair. And he's like, first chair. I've never been at first chair at violin or anything. I mean, this is weird. And Andy's like, welcome back to the Married Medicine reunion. I'm Andy going. And we've got the guys. Hi, Cecil. Hi. Here we go.

[Brandi]

Fly frontier to get here, Cecil. He's like, no, fortunately, I didn't have to fly frontier. I made it.

[Co-host Ronnie]

And he's like, great.

[Brandi]

Curtis. How's it going, Curtis? Like, great, great, great. No complaints? Complaints. Where did you find that woman that you have on your lap? Oh, I just pulled her from craft services. Well, you should probably let her get back to that now. Okay, I will.

[Co-host Ronnie]

It was just one woman, Andy, not two, thank you very much. Okay. Dr. Damon. Steve. Oh, Steve, you've got some eyes. You've got some cleavage. And he's like, yeah, you know, listen, I've been in the gym. I've been in the gym, man. So I'm gonna show it off. Thank you. Thank you very much.

[Brandi]

Yes, you have. Hey, Dr. Scott.

[Co-host Ronnie]

How's the eyes?

[Brandi]

Scott's like, it's fine. It's good. He's like, okay, well, I understand there was some drama backstage, which is why we pretty much have you out here right now. You want to tell us all about Curtis, Eugene, what happened? And Eugene's like, what drama? I don't remember any drama. And Curtis is like, guys, don't create drama. That's for the ladies. Oh, is that right? Because last time I checked, you guys are all sitting out here because you made so much drama backstage. Okay, so Eugene's like, yeah, we had a discussion. And Andy's like, well, what was the discussion about? He's like, well, so at some point, there's been twice that Toya has been asked about lapgate, and I was, you know, not angry about it at the time, so there's been no beef with that. But Toya is still, you know, I think to this day, a little offended by being pulled into somebody's lap. And so Curtis voice that he. Well, he didn't agree that that ever happened.

[Co-host Ronnie]

And Curtis is like, well, Eugene, at risk of sounding like a woman and arguing, am I right, guys? Women.

[Brandi]

Women.

[Co-host Ronnie]

I'm gonna beg to differ. You know, Joya was on Watch what happens live, and she said that women have come to her and said that I've had my hands on multiple women, which is a flat out lie. And then we go to the ladies backstage, and Tori's like, no, I didn't. I said, he needs to keep his hands to himself because he's had his hands on multiple women. Which I was like, is basically.

[Brandi]

I actually rewound it, like, three times. I was like. Because Curtis says. She said, I've had my hands on multiple women. And he. And Toyo literally goes, no, I said, he needs to keep his hands to himself because he's had his hands on multiple women. And she says in this, like, nice way to Jackie, like. Like, Isn't this fun? Like, no, I said that because he's had multiple hands. Hands on multiple women. Right? Jackie. And Jackie is like, argument.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Satoria argument. 100%. I did say that. I said it. It's like, what? So Jackie's like, but you mean on the show, she goes, show with us. Okay, but on the show. But on the show it's two. But off the show it's three. Jackie. And it's all your fault anyway. So are they including the affair?

[Brandi]

I don't know. I don't know what Toy was ever talking about. Jackie goes, oh, it's mine. Okay. She goes, yeah, because you said he didn't do it. Jackie goes, well, he didn't do what, baby? Oh, he. He didn't pull me in his lap. And so that's what stuck with me all these years. Now, look, I've always agreed with Toy on this one. Like. Like, Curtis fully pulled her into his lap, and it made her feel very uncomfortable. And it was crazy that neither of them apologized with the swiftness that they apologized to quad this season about what Curtis said about, you know, fertility and so. And I think this could have been squashed years ago because if Curtis thought he was just playing around, but it made Toya feel uncomfortable, he could have 100% just apologized for that, and Jackie could have apologized for that, and they could have moved on. But the fact that they didn't at that time obviously has stuck with Toya, and I actually would never take that away from Toya. But what I think is. What I think is crazy is that Curtis can't still seem to acknowledge that. Like, that's wild to me.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Well, but he. I mean, what's weird about Curtis is he did just acknowledge it backstage. He said, did I pull your wife into my lap? Yes. But now we're on the stage, and Eugene's like, well, you wouldn't even admit that you pulled my wife into your lap. And he says, because you wouldn't admit that you perpetuated that lie. What lie? That you pulled her.

[Brandi]

I think the lie is that multiple. I. I'm assuming because it's not really stated, and I don't know. I don't know why it's so. It's so clear to me. I'm assuming that Curtis's stance, whether or not it's true, is that he pulled Toya into his lap. He was horsing around, and it was an overstep. He didn't realize. And. But he's not going around just touching all the women on the show and making them feel uncomfortable. That's. I think his stance. What that. And. And Toya's stance is. No, he is doing that. He's got his hands on a lot of women on our cast. And then when the show isn't rolling, he's also being handsy with other people. So I think that he's taking issue with this idea that he's sort of generally handsy. But I kind of feel like the first thing that he needs to do is acknowledge the Toya situation, because that was on camera and we see that. We've seen that. And then he could say, I was horsing around, but, like, you know, I learned my lesson, so I'm definitely not handsy after that. I'm not trying to defend him. I'm saying, like, that's what he's showing. Should be saying. And I'm sort of surprised that he. He couldn't even get there.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Yeah, I think he admits that, the Toya thing, but the problem is he wants to make it this huge argument that it's not multiple women. Well, okay, Curtis, but we saw that with Toya, and then we know that you were having an affair with someone like, 30 years your junior. Was it 20 or 30 years? I forgot one of those, you know, for a while, to the point that it was being posted on blogs and shit. So you don't need to be arguing. It's like, oh, exactly. So it was just two. So it was just two and not three. Oh, okay. Why are you bringing it up? Just say you're sorry and let it pass. But you're the one who's bringing it up over and over to try and win some little point against Eugene. That's not making you look any better, Curtis.

[Brandi]

And also, like, Eugene, like, has not looked great this season. And this is. You're. You're giving Eugene an easy win here, too. Just in terms of if we're going to talk about like, like winning, quote, unquote, winning a reunion, you know, just apologize, take accountability that you did something, you know, like that was inappropriate, and then let Eugene continue to dig his grave because, you know, Steve is gonna be all is. Is going to be and continues to be all on top of Eugene, you know, so, like, you just have to get out of the fray, Curtis, and you're staying in the fray because you're being too stubborn to admit that you did something wrong.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Mold Chopper excludes Alaskan Hawaii. Howdy, howdy ho, and welcome to Fantasy Fan Fellas. I'm Hayden, producer of the Fantasy Fangirls podcast and your resident lover of all things Sanderson.

[Brandi]

And I'm Stephen, your bookish Internet goofball, but you can call me the Smash Daddy.

[Co-host Ronnie]

And we are currently deep diving Brandon Sanderson's fantasy epic Mistborn. But here's the catch. Stephen here has not read Mistborn before.

[Brandi]

That's right. Hey. Hey. So each week, you'll get my unfiltered RA Raw reactions to every single chapter.

[Co-host Ronnie]

And along the way, we'll do character deep dives, magic explainers, and Steven will even try to guess what's next. Spoiler alert. He'll be wrong.

[Brandi]

News flash, I'm never wrong. Episodes come out every Wednesday, and you can find Fantasy Fan Fellas wherever you get your podcasts.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Yeah. So they go back and forth because he's like, well, I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna say anything until you admit it. And he's like, well, I'm not going to admit it until you admit that you're. You're admitting committing things. And so they go back and forth. And Andy's like, okay, we can leave that there. So let's talk about massages on the beach. Wow. I'm looking at you, Damon, because you told Heavenly you didn't get one. He's like, I thought I did, though. You thought you did what? Well, I don't remember getting a massage. Look, we get a massage weekly, so what I consider a massage is what our massager massage Melanie. Our massage lady Melanie does, you know. Oh, you mean it has to be on a table? Yeah. It's not a massage if it's not on a table, Andy.

[Brandi]

Okay, Does Andy have any interest in it? In talking to these guys? He seems so, like, not like this. Why is he asking about this massage thing? It's so stupid. Also, like, Andy just spent a good amount of energy trying to heal Jackie and Simone. I'm actually a little surprised that he didn't jump in with Eugene and Curtis artists to be like, I think what he's trying to say is this. And what he's trying to say is that. And it was weird. That he just sort of, like, sat there and let them talk about it, and then he just, like, moved on to the stupid question about the massages.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Yeah, well, that has something sexual to it. And that's Andy's favorite thing, you know, like, oh, were you cheating on your wives by getting massages on the beach? Okay, well, gentlemen, we saw you go through some bumps with your wives. Eugene, you got a lot of side eye from the other men about how you and Toya went at each other during the Skip workday party. You called it a married moment. And he's like, yeah, you know, like, look, I think you'd be lying in your relationship if you've been together for a long time if you didn't have a moment where you said something you didn't mean. You know, we just happened to be on TV with a bunch of people at our house at that moment. And, you know, maybe there was also a couple of people that might not have been invited had this not been in all cast members event. Okay, stop. Stop making it like, oh, well, it was a cast event. So we had people that we didn't like there. You and your wife were yelling at each other like fools at your. At your house, at your party, and it made everyone uncomfortable, and you acted like crazy people. And then you turned around and blamed everybody else for it and said everyone else just didn't have as strong as marriages as yours. No, you know, that's. That's crazy. This is crazy talk.

[Brandi]

He's wondering why they got side eye. It's because you are on tv. He's like, well, it just happened. We know. We are just like a typical married couple. Said something that came out wrong. I just happened to be on tv. I'm like, it's because it was on TV that you were getting the side eye. Because everyone was like, how are you two acting this way in front of people on tv? That's where the side eye is from, is that it was such a crazy public disregard of how embarrassing you were being to, like, your family in that moment.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Yeah. And at a party. Yikes. Yeah. So people were just. I mean, they just. Oh, yeah. So married people don't fight at parties on tv. I mean, come on, Andy.

[Brandi]

So Steve is like, sounds like a narrative spin to me. And that's the truth. And Eugene is like, you didn't have to comment, Steve. He's like, I do have to comment because the blame was put on Mimi, but now you're gonna have a not gonna have a married moment. He's like, well, it wasn't just Mimi. She called out a bunch of ladies. No, no, no, no, no, no. It was very specific in the moment. It was you being did this to me, Mimi, and Emily. That's what it was in the moment. And I did not hear you take accountability for that. I have not heard an apology for that. Where's the apology? Where's the apology?

[Co-host Ronnie]

He's like, well, there is no apology because I saw Mimi's face and it had judgment in it. And I saw Heavenly's face and it had judge. Yeah, because you were acting like a fool at your party. Of course they were looking at you like, what the are you doing yelling at your wife in front of people?

[Brandi]

Yeah. Have you seen your wife's face? Have you seen the opening credits of the show? She's being judgy to the audience, okay? That's what Toy does. And by the way, love her for it. That's what we want from Toya. Like, you're on a show with judgy, opinionated people, and, like, you cannot hold that against them. That is why they are there. They're there to express their opinions. So hush, hush with the judginess.

[Co-host Ronnie]

So Steve's like, I see you. I see what you do. I see who you are. Convenient. Hey, why do you keep the water so close to the entrance of the store? Convenience.

[Brandi]

Convenience.

[Co-host Ronnie]

So he's like, I'm gonna hold you accountable. And Eugene's like, whatever, and goes, you're Eugene Bush. Like, oh, we can always bring some. Some sexism into it. There hasn't been enough. It's been like five minutes. Like, can we be, like, less sexist for one minute of this show?

[Brandi]

Cecil chimes. Now, meanwhile, you know, Curtis is up there, like, not fessing up to being inappropriate with Toya. Cecil's quiet. But the moment that Steve says, you're Eugene Bush, he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You made a guy sound sort of like a girl that's in a. Whoa. It's too much. Come on, Steve. That. That's not right, man. That's too much. He's like, no, Cecil, we're not doing that. We're not doing that. And Eugene's like, okay, you've been rude all day, Steve. All day. Like, he's like, yeah, it's not right, man. Whoa. Like giving him the maiden name. Whoa, whoa, Steve, I've been on the stage for 12 years and you just got here, Steve. He's like, well, I've been here and I didn't say anything. I've been good.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Good?

[Brandi]

Yeah, it's good. But you've been convenient. Very convenient. My finger is wagging an extra high speeds now. You're so convenient.

[Co-host Ronnie]

And Eugene keeps saying over and over, well, I've been on this show the longest. Eugene, you suck. Okay? You've been on this show and now you are turning into a real housewife. And you need to just stop. It's so annoying. Just let your wife fight her own battles. You know, Daddy has it right how he does it. He's just like, what? What did Heavenly do? Okay, well, she did something wrong. I talked to her and they're like, when? When did you talk to her? Her off the camera. That's how you're supposed to do it. What? Like just play dumb? Okay, we're not here to watch Eugene fight. So he's like, well, I've been on this show for 12 years and you just got here. And now look, the energy's off this year. And Steve's like, I didn't say anything. And Eugene's, yeah, well, you're one of the new people who are here. And I'm just putting it out there. I'm just putting it out there. No, but these fights are you. I mean, there is the one with Steve, but this is you, this is Curtis, this is you fighting for your wife. Is why these fights are happening.

[Brandi]

It's not because, by the way, these fights with Eugene. These fights with Eugene were happening before Steve even came on the show. I remember there was a thing with Eugene and Anila's husband. I don't really remember what happened with that fight, what caused it, but I know that Anila's husband had to like, apologize to Eugene or something. It was like, awkward. But I feel like anytime the guys have had some sort of friction, it's always been Eugene in the. In the center of it. It. So then Eugene is like, oh, there's never been this weirdness, whatever. And then curse is like, wait, wait, wait. But where did it start? It started at your house. No matter if he's here 2 years, 12 years, 20 years. There's a respect that goes between men.

[Co-host Ronnie]

We're going to respect him because he does not have boobies.

[Brandi]

That's right. So Eugene's like, curtis, we understand. We don't, you know, you don't like my wife. You have an issue with my wife.

[Co-host Ronnie]

I get it.

[Brandi]

I was like, no, no, I've got no issue with the truth. I've got an issue issue with the truth and being accountable. I'm like, but Curtis, you're not being accountable, and you are trying to bend the truth, but that's fine.

[Co-host Ronnie]

Yeah, exactly. Eugene, being an idiot doesn't mean you're not an idiot. So. And he's like, okay, let's move on. Damon, we. You're right that Andy's just saying let's move on instead of trying to work anything out. I don't think he watches it. I think he's just like, all right, get me through this. I want the ladies back here. I'm not here to talk to a bunch of husbands. If I wanted to have to deal with a husband, I would have found one for myself.

[Brandi]

Maybe he's also, like, slightly intimidated by them. You know, these are like, like older, older men. And he's like, you know, like, maybe he, like, goes back to a place of, like, I'm like the gay kid on the playground or something like that, you know, But I don't know. But Andy is like, let's move on. Damon, we got a lot of comments from viewers who didn't understand why you didn't tell Heavenly about Damon Jr's arrest. So Damon's like, well, I'm just sort of a quiet guy, so I don't feel like I have to address everything. So you all do not know the whole story, so don't assume it because you see it on tv. So he basically says, I handled it the best way I knew how to. And then Andy's like, do you have.

[Co-host Ronnie]

I'm just a quiet guy. I don't feel like I have to address everything. You don't feel like you have to tell your wife that your son is in jail? Hello. Like, arrested? What the hell? And so they talk about the son's mental health. And they ask. Andy asks how he's doing, and he says, it's been really difficult. But when something happens to someone that you love to some. When. When something horrible happens to somebody you love and you don't understand what it is, you know, even when you're a doctor and you've read about all these things over and over again and he hasn't. He's not a psychiatrist, but he's read all the books and he didn't. Still didn't know what was going on. And so he's going to stand up for him no matter what. So he's not answering, basically. And Scott said asks if he's still seeing. If he's still not seeing him, and Damon still hasn't seen him. And then do you feel like personal issues get weaponized a lot here and he's like, yeah. And I'll be honest. You know, this show surprised the crap out of me. You know when people make up lies about me or when they say that I'm doing things that I'm not doing. And then backstage, Simone's like, then tell your. Then tell your man wife not to do that with us. Tell your wives like screaming at the
