Hello and welcome to Watch What Crappin's, a podcast about all the crap we love to talk about. On your bravs, this is Crappy Hour Live. I'm Ronnie and that's Ben over there. Hi, Ben. Hi, Ronnie. How's it going? Good. What's going on with you?

Oh, you know, just recovering from those Oscars last night, I had such an amazing time at the not Vanity Fair party. And it was just like, I just felt like I was around so many not celebrities in my in my living room. So it's just like I'm a little hungover from all the all the intense hobnobbing with my pillows and and my my tables. How about you? How are you doing? You're just at the straight up vanity party.

I did not watch the Oscars because I'm just becoming that old man who's like, who are these people? What are these movies? Why is everybody so young? I don't understand. I don't even know what half those movies are. I mean, what the hell? Where's La La Land?

Yeah. Well, you know, it was a year ago that I was at your house in Austin and we watched the Oscars together. Remember that? We did. Yeah. I need some inspiration. Like I need you to be here to watch it with, cause you make it fun when I'm just, when I'm alone, I'm like, Oh, shut up. Shut up about your cause. I don't care about your cause. Take care. I feel like suck it.

I feel like I'm a fun Oscar watcher with her, you know, because my because my friends Judy and Matt and AJ came over and none of them were really interested in watching the Oscars. But I was like, guys, I'm gonna watch the Oscars. So they came over and we had a really fun time watching it together. I feel like I inspire good Oscar watching times. You are fun to watch the Oscars with for sure. We ripped that thing to shreds. We had a really good time watching that.

that. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't I didn't watch any of that. I did watch White Lotus, however, and Married to Madison and those things, you know, the real classy, the real classy, the real top class shows. All right, everybody. Welcome to the show today in Bravo News. I don't I can never tell if a lot's going on, really, or nothing's going on because it's Bravo. You know, I guess the news is what you make of it. Ben just told me that the New York strip steak has been changed to the Texas steak.

Well, no, as the Texas governor, AKA your governor has just declared that he's thinking about renaming the Texas, the New York strip stake into the Texas strip stake, which just goes to show that like, I'm glad the politicians in this country are really prioritizing the things that matter the most. So, you know, it's, it's an exciting day. Yeah. Glad they can double property taxes every year and spend the money where we really need it. Renaming fucking stakes. I know, I know. Uh,

but um uh the yeah it's just you know the headlines the real headlines are way too depressing to read but luckily bravo headlines uh continue to be um as like as stupid as ever for instance did you know that ben stiller watches the real housewives of beverly hills with his daughter i mean is that not heartwarming i mean they should change it from the texas strip stake to the ben stiller strip stake because that is a delicious headline

I did see that the other day when I was doing my morning duties. That was the first thing I read. And I thought it was kind of a joke because his tweet's something like, "Thank God Dorit and Kyle have taken time to come together on something they really understand." Or like a common thing or I don't know. His tweet was like, it wasn't funny. It was just like, "Wow, I'm glad that Dorit and Kyle are getting along."

And I thought it was kind of a joke, but I didn't really get the joke. So I didn't really understand it. So I just kind of put it off. And then everybody in the Bravoverse got very excited that Ben Stiller was a fan. So.

Yeah. He watches it with his daughter, Ella, which is kind of funny because I don't know why. Like, I feel like if my last name were Stiller, I wouldn't have my first, my daughter's name be Ella. Ella Stiller. That's just as like a little, it doesn't roll off the tongue, right? Ella Stiller. Ella Stiller. Oh, that reminded me.

I have to tell you about my TaskRabbit. Okay, so on the show, I talked about wanting to bang my TaskRabbit, okay? And I didn't know the TaskRabbit. I just hired him. And it was basically a piece on loneliness, okay? So the TaskRabbit comes. He's hot as hell. Of course he's hot. Is he really? Yeah, he was really hot and married.

of course, you know, so I shaved my nuts for nothing. But I was like, hey, he asked me what I did. So I told him and he's like, oh, those housewives shows. He was from Minnesota. He's like, those housewives shows. Oh, my wife loves those, you know? So I watch them all because I watch them with my wife. And I said, really? Yeah.

And I said, you're a good husband. You know, we meet a lot of housewives, husband, like housewives, watchers, husbands and in our line. And you're always the most supportive husbands. He goes, well, to be truthful with you. I'm mostly watching for myself. You know what I love? The fashions. I just love the fashions. No, this guy. So I was like, OK, well, tell your wife to listen. And then when he walked out the door, I was like, well, maybe not this week because I think I spent the week talking about wanting to fuck you.

Anyway, great job TaskRabbit. So it's nice to know there's some handyman out there really enjoying the fashions. And he goes, you know, I got to work a lot of extra shifts because she loves those fashions so much. So, you know, handyman's wife out there buying her fake CCs to put on her shirt. I loved that. I love it. Listen, you'll know if he reaches out to you and says, need any more work done? That means he listened, you know. Yeah.

Okay, so something else fun that happened was Anna Marie's still spouting off all over the internet because this time she had a reason because Garcelle, when they went to that party on Beverly Hills, saw a woman named Ann Marie's place card and said, oh God, I hope it's not the other one. And so Anna Marie, of course, had to make herself known.

And she said, wow, surprise, she hasn't left the country yet. Which I guess because Trump won or something. Is that what she means? Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. I think she's really trying to have a moment. Yeah. She really is. And then another one was, she's so jealous that I have everything in life that she doesn't. I live in her mind, rent free.

Yeah. I like someone on Twitter was basically, someone said it very well. They said, I believe they said something like, is that an 8.5 coming after a 10? I think that sums it up quite well. Don't even try it, Marie. It truly does. Yeah, don't try it. And Garcelle responded with an Instagram story that said, not all skinfolk are kinfolk.

And then the next door. Black girl missing 27 coming soon. The theater's near you. Also describes Anne Marie's second season of Beverly Hills. Yeah. Yeah. Anne Marie, your 15 minutes are over. You can't complain about how like it was such a bad experience. And then you were constantly jumping in whenever you can to make yourself relevant into the real house. So that's discussion. You're done. You're over and you suck.

Yeah, go away, lady. I'm searching right now. Karen Huger jail because I could have sworn I saw something today that was like what it's like for Karen Huger in prison. Don't don't don't. What do you think it's like in there?

I don't know. It's wild to think that Karen Huger is currently in prison as we speak. Like she is there. She might be going into like the cafeteria with a little red plastic tray and like some bowls and getting slop poured in or whatever. And she's just there without her wig, without her makeup, just dealing with crazy people that she would never, ever come close to in Potomac. Like it's a surreal thought when you really think about it.

Yeah, she's probably in there like, "Um, can I have this slop without cream? I'm not eating dairy right now." Very, very bad. "Mmm, chicken, I don't eat dirty bird." "No dirty bird for me!" I wonder, I mean, how does, what is the deal with allergies in jail? Do the jails care? Or do they just say like, "Well, if you don't eat chicken, you can't eat, you're just not having dinner tonight." I feel like they don't make too many accommodations for prisoners when it comes to allergies, right?

I have no idea. I mean, I feel like we're in a softer world, so maybe they would, you know? Prison just ain't as hard as it used to be. I mean, now you can even have a job in prison. Yeah. I said, do you have any Texas skirt steaks in prison? I refuse to eat a New York strip. Please only bring me Texas strip. Thank you.

um speaking of restaurants uh in trouble like the prison restaurant system for serving dirty bird uh levin lamar opened a new restaurant and it's called zachary daiquiris which already first of all can we just start with that what'd you say first of all i said first of all i hate this zachary daiquiris second of all is this this if this isn't a gay bar and then i'll be then i'm gonna be even more angry because this is the name that's reserved for gay bars i'm sorry to say

It's a gay bar name. And if you've stolen it from us, that's just not right. That's not fair. I feel like even gay people have like straightened up beyond naming things Zachary's daiquiris. I mean, what the fuck is that? What kind of name is that? And do we need a daiquiri restaurant? I don't think we need a daiquiri. When was the last time you ordered a daiquiri or heard somebody order a daiquiri?

Well, I mean, the truth is like a proper daiquiri. This is going to be such a Ben moment, but like a proper daiquiri is not what we think of when we think of daiquiris. I think we think of like big red frozen strawberry drinks, but a proper daiquiri is just like lime and rum and they're very delicious and very chilled. But I guarantee that's not the drink that's being served at Zachary daiquiri. So to get to your point, the answer is we don't, we don't need this. We don't need, we don't need daiquiris. We don't need Zachary and we don't need Zachary daiquiris.

Well, now, you know, I'm part of the way with Leva. I never know where I am with Leva. Usually she makes me crazy because she comes on these shows and does nothing and doesn't even want to be there and is continuously rewarded with shit, like her own show.

So that kind of bugs me. But on the other hand, she believes in child labor. And you know I love child labor. And have you noticed on Southern Hospitality there's an actual child that works there? Have you noticed that? I did notice that. I was like, I rewound it like three times. I was like, is that a child or is that actually just a young looking lesbian? And it was a child. It was a child. A young looking lesbian? It's like one of the DJs.

No, it's actually a child. Like maybe a 12 year old child. It was a child busing. Yeah. A young child. He was lighting the fireworks and carrying the ice and stuff like that. I don't think that's legal. But anyway, you know, who cares? I love child labor. Keep them out of the streets. But-

But so I don't really know where she is. I didn't like her last week. This week I found out she believes in child labor. So I liked her. But then this story came out and I hate her again. So apparently, you know, there were rumors that this was happening at her other clubs. I've been reading these rumors on Reddit for a long time. But this is a review that was left after the opening.

We came as part of the opening night event and we were very excited to try this new restaurant bar out, but unfortunately we will not be returning. After we got our drinks and sat at a table outside, the bouncer came out and stood directly next to a group of black men and informed the line that there was now a new dress code that prohibited ripped jeans, athletic wear, and Jordans, which all of the men were wearing. After seeing the outfits that were allowed in previously, it was obvious that there was no dress code, but this was a move made to prohibit certain groups of people into the restaurant."

We confronted the bouncer who made the comment and we were told that it was a comment from management. Very disappointing. And then a bunch of comments kind of jumping on that one. I've heard that they do that at her other clubs and are discriminatory. So that sucks to hear. So fuck off. If that's true. I mean, if it's true, it's obviously massively disappointing and really bad. It's surprising that...

Because Leva has always historically not stood for that. And same with Lamar. So it's surprising and, you know, it's wild. I mean, I definitely would like to hear more about this. And like, it's also if this person is actually like...

Was he saying the truth? Is he like a troll? It's hard to say, but I guess I didn't know there were rumors about this happening at other restaurants. It's really, really terrible if it is true. Totally unacceptable. I also like the idea, though. I like the idea that a group of people came in wearing Air Jordans and ripped jeans and athletic gear and were like, we're going to Zachary Daquiri's. Yeah.

Like we're putting on, we're putting on this, we're putting on athletic gear and ripped jeans and our Air Jordans and we're going to Zachary's. - I just like that Lev and Lamar are even thinking like that. Like Bouncer, listen, this is a very important club and we are gonna have some rough trade coming in to Zachary's Zachary's. We really need you on the lookout. I mean, what the hell? What a world. My God.

Yeah. So in the same city, at least it's in the same city, we have some Thomas Ravenel stuff going on. So last week, Thomas...

tweeted drunkly, probably coquily, who knows? He said, "I'm not sure Mayor Hands, Mayor Hands, but fairly 90% sure that Whitney has had sex with every single girl that's on Southern Charm. I mean, he makes Weinstein look like Jesus Christ."

Also a successful producer. And he says, Whitney is right now begging me to take this down because he knows it's going to fuck his whore of a mother. And he's nothing but a total piece of shit. Wow. Had you read that? I had read that T-Rav had said something inflammatory, but I just hadn't bothered to really look it up because it's T-Rav. I'm just like, I'm just, there's enough information.

I just, you know what it was? I honestly, I just did. If it was, I heard he tweeted something and I just was not in the mood. If it was going to be some mega bullshit, I just didn't want to read it. So now that I hear that it's just petty bullshit, I'm,

Now I'm like, oh, wow. Okay. Well, I read it. I read it every day because it's on my fridge. I printed it up where all of Thomas's tweets go. Big Brutus in the comments said, this is why the Democrats lost. Oh, okay. Well, you guys are doing a bang up job, Big Brutus. So thanks for everything you give us. Okay. So then Thomas Ravenel came out with another tweet about,

that says, I just had a, cause this is what Thomas does. He goes and slams your ass all over the internet. And then he sobers up the next day and it's like, well, on second hand, on second thought,

I just had a long conversation with Patricia Alstool and her son Whitney Sudler-Smith, and we took a deep dive into what happened over the past seven years. She basically confirmed what I intuitively knew all along, that she was always my friend, and I hereby want to publicly apologize to her for the mean things that I said about her. I extend this apology to Whitney as well. He's always been a dear friend, especially after the death of my father.

- That was touching. - Yeah. Like how do you call, like how do you say such nasty things about people? Like truly, truly nasty. And then they're just like, oh yeah, by the way, they've always been friends and they're lovely people. It's just like, the pivot is just so,

It's so vile, you know? I've always loved that sexual abuser and his whore of a mother. And why I said anything mean about them is beyond me. Dear sexual assaulter and whore mother, Merry Christmas. Love, Thomas Ravenald and the children he stole from Catherine. Yeah. Yeah, no. It's just...

like i i can't i can't it's like it's just wild that people do this i mean look i get it a lot of my favorite reality stars do this they're really really nasty and then they're like you know what i was angry i was acting out of anger but i feel like that's it's one thing to be like that on the show but if you're just sitting in your on your plantation and just tweeting this it's like get a life bro

Well, speaking of Thomas, it came out also this week that Jason Isaacs of White Lotus is basing his character on Thomas or Southern Charm at the very least. Southern Charm at the very least. Southern Charm, but most likely Thomas. Let's face it. I mean, that accent is exactly Thomas Ravenel. He says, I don't want to I don't want Thomas Ravenel suing me for whatever pennies I have left. So I'm not going to give him too much credit.

At 24, I lost my narrative, or rather it was stolen from me. And the Monica Lewinsky that my friends and family knew was usurped by false narratives, callous jokes, and politics. I would define reclaiming as to take back what was yours. Something you possess is lost or stolen, and ultimately you triumph in finding it again.

So I think listeners can expect me to be chatting with folks, both recognizable and unrecognizable names about the way that people have navigated roads to triumph. My hope is that people will finish an episode of Reclaiming and feel like they filled their tank up. They connected with the people that I'm talking to and leave with maybe some nuggets that help them feel a little more hopeful.

You can listen to Reclaiming early and ad-free right now by joining Wondery Plus in the Wondery app or on Apple Podcasts.

What I was going to say is I had read that Mike White had encouraged him to go watch Southern Charm, which by the way, makes me really excited because I thought Mike White was purely just a Survivor fan and listener, or not listener, but just like a Survivor fan. So it's cool that Mike White is also in the Bravo sphere. Like, I love that. That's like that. I feel like that's very cool.

Yeah, I do too. It kind of explains a lot of Tanya's character, actually. It really does. And also the three ladies who are on this year who are all gossiping about each other, like the three best friends. Every episode it's them gossiping about another one of the friends in the circle that they take turns beating on each other.

Yeah, that's very Beverly Hills, the three of them. You know, like the way they just are like the quiet competition, the comparing the doctor. Like, what doctor do you have? You know, yours looks you look great. I do this. That that that polite competition that we see on Beverly Hills all the time. It's nice to see on White Lotus as well. I've only watched the first episode, but, you know, there will be some binging later tonight.

Yeah, that's a good one. That's worth it. Although they can suck my dick with that theme song. That's not it. Why did they do that? Why would you do that? I mean, look, the theme song is not terrible, but why would you take the most iconic theme songs? And they had two versions of it, right? They had the first season, then they redid it for the second season. I think so. And the third season, first of all, it's too low. Like they'd mixed it really low. It goes HBO. And then the music's like...

So it's too low. And it sounds like it's just beginning right before the remix and they're going to be bringing in the... Right, you think it's...

I know. I mean, I do actually like it on its own terms as like a cool, chill thing that builds. But in the like in the wake of last year, it's it's hard. And I kept on thinking, like, is that is that they're bringing last year's theme in now? And I actually read an article about the music supervisor and how he's like he got like a lot of crap for it. And they did like all this extensive research. They listen to all this time music to really get a sense of it. Here's something I did not realize.

Again, I've only watched one episode, but the woman who plays, the actress who plays one of the staff members, she's gorgeous. She performed on the Oscars last night because I didn't realize she was in Blackpink. And Blackpink is like a global phenomenon, but I obviously am like, I'm listening to Carly Rae Jepsen. I'm sort of like, I haven't branched out too far. And so her stage name is Lisa. Lisa.

and i had no idea that this um unassuming staff member on white lotus has 105 million followers and is massively popular around the world so that's just a fun thing to think about and i'm just wondering what bravo star she used as inspiration and can't wait for her to come on to watch her crappins and tell us all about it sudden she's setting is her inspiration yeah she's probably sheena

- Sheena, there were rumors. Someone had asked us in the comments on the Crappie Hour post today, like, "What do you want to talk about on Crappie Hour?" And someone said the rumors that Sheena and Brock are splitting up. So I looked for those rumors and I couldn't find anything except from April of last year that she said, "We're not splitting up, but we're going through problems." But that was a long time ago, so I don't think they're splitting up. I mean, I don't know. Does anybody care?

I don't care. I haven't heard anything about that. Yeah, I don't think so. I do know that she can take care of that man and she's going to need that income to take care of him. So I hope she gets a job where they will split up. He'll be out of there. Well, if they do split up, they will wait until they're filming The Valley. And The Valley is apparently coming back very, very, very soon. I think like Rumor Has It mid-April, but we don't know. That was from an old queen at the bar. Rumor Has It. Now there's an album.

So did you see this stuff about Kathy Griffin going on something? I don't know. I'm sorry. I don't know what she went on. I did. But she went on a podcast and finally outed the big secret of the Amsterdam trip where Lisa Rinna was like, do not bring up my husband and slammed the glass and like went for Kim's waddle and tried to strangle her and then stab her with the glass and all of that good stuff. And so Kathy Griffin went to dinner with them and she said, Harry, what's the secret? Just tell me the secret.

And he said, they said, I fucked a dog. That's the big secret. Now, do you think that is the secret or he just knows Kathy Griffin can't keep her mouth shut. So he's just going to give her some bullshit. So that way she can take it to, you know, podcasts and, you know, and, and,

and make that be the definitive answer. Do you think Harry's not sly? Harry's not sly like that. You, you had a dinner with Harry. We had a dinner with Harry Hamlin. He's not a sly person who's thinking like that, you know, he's true and he will tell the truth, you know? And, uh, yeah, I do think that's what it was. And I think that's fucking hilarious.

That's such a that's such a very specific Rumor I mean like who started that that Harry Hamlin fucked a dog. That's like I'm gonna say this right now I don't think that Harry Hamlin fucked a dog. I just don't think so brave brave move Yeah, I don't go out on the left either. I mean Who knows

Anything can happen these days, but I don't think he did. I'm going to say he probably did not do that. Grace says that Kathy Griffin was on the podcast Trash Tuesday. Thank you for that. God, we need you guys here for every show we do to correct us when we're wrong, which is at least in my case, 80% of the time. I could use this comment thread writing on the side. So let's see. What else do we have here?

Tom Sandoval. Let's talk. Oh, go for it. Tom Sandoval. So traders, everyone, I hope everyone has caught up on the traders because I'm about to talk about it. Um, the Tom Sandoval was recently mad on the traders. Um, so he has had like a real big, um, uh,

image improvement because of the traitors. People like him again. People, well, people sort of, what they do is they don't say they like him. They say, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but like, I find him to be really entertaining on the traitors, which is fair because he's, he's dumb. He's an, he's a dumb idiot. And it was hilarious watching him. And like after that challenge where he was singing into the phone, I mean, that was, that was amazing. So, but he was murdered.

R.I.P. R.I.P. to Tom Sandoval. And he has now done his exit interviews with all sorts of media outlets. And he has told Us Magazine that if he were picked as a traitor, he would have just left the castle. I don't know if I believe that. On the one hand, I get it because he's been...

he's been trying to crawl out of this hole from Scandaval for like two or three years now and he has failed on all fronts so like the last thing he wants to do is make himself a villain on the show but I also think he's addicted to fame and I think that if given the chance to be a traitor and to outsmart people I think he would take it what do you think Ronnie well look the the

the scandal of all stuff helped Ariana. I mean, she became a massive star after all that happened, but it also helped Tom Sandoval. I mean, Tom Sandoval hasn't really stopped working ever since then. And he's been a villain and a punching bag, but he still had a lot of work from it. He's on traders. I mean, he's one of the only Vanderpump rules people to ever be on traders. So I I'm with you. I think that he likes the fame and of course he would have been a traitor. He would have been a horrible one. He would have probably been on week two, but yeah, he's full of shit. Oh my God.

You know, Michael Horn in the comments has pointed out that Scandaval happened two years ago today. It's kind of shocking. I can't believe it's only been two years. I feel like it's been with us for like three years at least. But I guess really, yeah, two years makes sense. Yeah. Where were you when that happened? Do you remember where you were?

Yes. When you found out. I was on my sofa. It was rain. It was raining. I was on my sofa. And I think, I think it was a you or Katie or I think it was you. Someone texted me. I think, I think it was you. I think it was like, I think you and Katie, it was like, we're a group threat group text. If I remember correctly. And it was like,

impossible to even comprehend. I was like, what, what? And then like going out to TMZ and just like not reading headlines and not being able to actually believe that they were true. And like, it took a moment to process. How about you? Do you remember where you were doing Scandavol? I think, I think Ronnie's AirPods have betrayed him yet again, based on that whispered, fuck, he just said, I just remember, I,

I remember how crazy it was. I just remember going onto Twitter and everyone was tweeting and it was on TMZ and no one could believe it. And like people were cursing. It was so shocking. And then I think it was that like, I think the first drips and drabs that they were broken up and that was shocking. And then it was that he'd had an affair and that was shocking. And then it was like, Oh, and the affair was with Raquel. It was kind of like a, like it just came in these very quick successive waves. Um,

Yeah, that was an exciting moment. And I remember, I was in the roundabout and coming home to my house, there's a roundabout. Well, I guess they're not roundabouts, they're traffic circles. You know, I've already told this story because I remember people taught me what a traffic circle was because I used to call them roundabouts.

But anyway, I was in a traffic circle coming home and someone read me the text. And I was like, no. And I just kept going around and around in the traffic. I was like, I can't believe it. I can't believe this would happen. And I was probably voice to texting you right in that circle. I was like a crazy person. I couldn't stop.

I feel like, you know, it's crazy that after all this time, you still can't search your text messages by date. There's no way that I'm aware of. I would love to go back to my text messages around this to know what happened on March 3rd, 2023. But there's literally no way to how does anyone know how to do that? Does anyone know how to look into like search your text messages by date? Because I would love to know what happened on this day two years ago.

You mean other things in your life or what? No, just to see what I was texting, like what the text that came through, et cetera. You know, there's a way. Well, mine were, I don't believe it.

I didn't believe it when it happened. I didn't believe it at all. I thought it was just a rumor. And then it just became truer and truer as the day went on. So, yeah, happy two-year anniversary, everybody. That was a fun one. God bless it. I know. That was a – yeah, I can't look it up. And it also started a trend that is still going to this day where Bravo insists on picking the cameras back up.

after something happened and it's usually some kind of affair or something. It's like, "Oh, we found out about an affair." They keep trying to recreate it, but you're not gonna do it with Mia. You're not gonna do it with this Kyle bullshit. You're not gonna do it. Even Paige and Craig, like it's just not the same thing, you know? But they're gonna try. So it's a nice new tradition that they started. - Yeah. Question about Sandoval. No, no, it wasn't about Sandoval, about traitors.

Um, thoughts on Dolores, because like we are, I'm so happy that Dolores has made it to the finale of traders. Um, and when the season began, I was like, you know what I love about Dolores is she knows exactly what's going on, but she keeps her cards close to her vest. But now I'm sort of feeling like Dolores is kind of in the charade Whitfield camp of traders gameplay. And I don't know how I feel about it.

Dolores isn't great at gameplay, but who cares? I mean, there's always got to be a dummy. At least she's an entertaining dummy. She's so funny. People are so pissed. I mean, and all the traders boards that I read, they are so mad at Dolores, but I can't get mad at Dolores. I just think she's hilarious. And what if she's really smart? You know, there's not many people with these theories, but what if she is actually really smart and she knows everything that's going on? I mean, that would be wonderful. But...

like it would be it'd be interesting if she was like like for instance if this week she voted for Ivar or Iva um solely it's that way she stays on Danielle's good side but I am um I'm good I if she wins if she and Gabby win together I will really be doing dances of joy but I'm just afraid that I I'm afraid she's not gonna get it and I'm also afraid she's gonna be really she's not

that's what if she's really smart jennifer she's not see yeah give it up says she's not smart oh my gosh uh i like this one dolores seems thrilled to be in any room and also confused to be in any given room does dolores know she's in scotland you know this is a beautiful beautiful resort in upstate new york

Everyone talks with such unique accents. Yeah. Well, you know, Dolores, she's just old school Italian. She's from Patterson. She believes this lady who's saying, I swear on my children. And that's it. Dolores is just going to believe that and she's going to go with it. That's how she's raised and that's how it's going to go. You know, they knew how to work her and they got it. It worked.

Yeah. Okay. I have to ask since we have, we have people here who here in the audience thinks that Brittany switched her vote to Danielle and who thinks that she kept it on Iva because this has been the raging question that everyone has been asking all week long amongst traders fans. And by the way, I, I cannot wait for Thursday. And are you going to be doing anything Ronnie for the finale or are you just going to watch it like normal?

I'm just going to watch it like normal. I don't have, if I was in LA, I would come with you or something, but if here I won't know, cause I don't have anybody who watches it here. So it would be, you know, inviting people over to enjoy something that they don't enjoy. And they're like, what is this? A lot of, a lot of people are saying in the, in the comments, people are saying,

Oh, my God. MW says I have to catch up. Oh, geez. Yeah. I mean, sorry. I think we kind of ruined it for you a little bit there. But people I don't see is going to stay with Danielle. I think she's going to keep Danielle. Meaning like vote against Ivar and keep Danielle. Yeah.

I think so, too. I think they're trying to set it up like Dolores fooled her. I mean, it's going to be shocking no matter what. And if it does come out to a draw, I think Ivar goes home because that's just the way this game has been going. And honestly, if he goes home, I would not be mad at it. I have disliked Ivar for so long. I thought, hey, yeah, I was like a gay British aristocrat. This is perfect. And he's actually just so boring in the worst.

Yeah, I need more of like an AbFab style. Like if you're going to go against the grain of the royal family, I want you to be like chain smoking and like fucking people in bathrooms and stuff. I don't want this like, but I'm still proper and use the correct fork. Like get the fuck out of here, man.

Yeah, and he was so adamant about Ciara. He really was one of the people who was leading the charge against Ciara for bullshit reasons. That was just kind of like, fuck you. And not fuck you because it's like, oh, Ciara is so great. It's more like, fuck you, because there was evidence pointing towards other people, and you were one of the people who got off-message with someone like Danielle, you know? Yeah. So Allison is asking, did Ayan spill the tea of who on the Traders has a huge crush on Sandoval, which Sandoval is freaked out about?

I don't think that she has mentioned who she was talking about, but all evidence is pointing to Carolyn, actually. Because Carolyn is like, oh, you know, I really love Tom Sandoval. What a gentle soul. I just love the guy. Like, he gets me. And she said on her podcast that she has a crush on him. But I think she meant friend crush. I mean, I don't know. Who knows about that chick? Yikes.

Hey, you know, I wonder if Carolyn listens to the podcast. Maybe she'll come to our show. We're going to I forgot we're going to Minneapolis in like 10 days. Do you think she would come to our show? That would be amazing. I don't know. I'm just so awkward. You know, I don't know if I can do it. I just love her so much. I just want to meet her. We'll find a way. All right. We have to talk about also that's non-traders related.

Yes, I forgot. We have something to talk about. Going back to Southern Charm, we have to talk about Vanita. Vanita has suddenly realized that being a reality star means that she's entitled to talk to the press about things that are interesting. And so she started to do it. And she has something to say. Actually, not even to the press. She said some stuff to the press, but before she even did that, she posted on her blog.

media on her Instagram story. She posted a piece of information that I wish I had known before I started yapping away on last week's recap of Southern charm, which is that she said, I'm going to pull up the image. I probably should have done it before. And she said, let me make something very clear that dinner JT and I had after I made a brand Zeno. I love the specificity of the brand Zeno was after the Bahamas and

And y'all as an audience saw it before. So this week's episode is now making me look like I'm a homewrecker when I'm not. I know what I signed up for, but I also will not allow the world to think that I'm that woman when I'm not. So bravo. Make sure you add this screenshot to all of the Reddit threads. So I love that she's a Reddit queen too.

Yeah, so this is pretty shitty. So they edited that on purpose to make it look like she was jumping JT when he had a girlfriend. However...

If you really start thinking about it, okay, so then you were in this, you were on this vacation. So then you jumped, you know, you straddled him or whatever twice and he told you, no, he has a girlfriend. So then why would you have him to dinner at your house and act all giddy like he's your boyfriend and then be shocked that he's saying that he has a girlfriend? Yeah, that's, well, I mean, yeah. I mean, I'm sure if we went back and saw the scene of her making him dinner, um,

maybe her giddiness was in interviews that they edited in. And if you took that out, it was just her making dinner for a friend. I can't tell, but, uh,

Yeah, that sounds really, really dirty of the editors. I mean, the thing is this. I don't mind when they play dirty tricks on like Austin or Craig or Shep. But Vanita, I mean, I just feel like she's so already starved for anything relevant to do that this was just mean. On the other hand, we're all talking about Vanita now and we haven't talked about her at all in a few years. Well, but there's still something fishy. Okay, because there's that thing. Like there's the Branzino dinner after, which doesn't make sense if she knew he had a girlfriend. But I get that maybe that could have been edited differently.

But then she was doing interviews before the season started and she went on Ryan Bailey and she said that she had been dating JT.

JT ghosted her while they dated and then posted a girlfriend on Instagram and she was shocked about it. She was completely shocked about it. And that doesn't make sense either. So what she said doesn't make sense either because he didn't ghost her and she wasn't shocked about the girlfriend because we saw her tell about it. We saw him tell her about it on TV. So then the girlfriend, whose name is Allie...

Under this post that you just read of Vanita's, Allie says, Vanita met me as Jarrett's girlfriend at dinner with Bunny last April pre-filming, but I appreciate her trying to save face. Happy to send receipts. Oh, wow.

She's saying that Vanita went into filming knowing that he had a girlfriend and then still was trying to get with him that whole time. So I don't really know what the hell is happening because Vanita stories don't make sense either. I don't understand how one minute she's ghosted and then the next minute we see what happens and she wasn't ghosted at all. But like, I don't see her trying to save face because every...

everything that's happened to her this season has been her kind of doing something humiliating and then she talks about it in the she talks about it in like the confessional that's kind of like yep i tried to do this thing i tried to swim i tried to straddle jt i tried to make him fish and i i failed oh and my boyfriend left me to go to broadway like i think she's kind of taking it on the chin all season so i mean i guess the idea is like she's taking it on the chin but she won't she doesn't want to

have the idea that she goes after she goes after committed men but well I guess I guess if there's something else to say that JT was you know JT wronged her so that would make her like a victim which would elevate her in the audience's eyes like we were just talking about Scandaval and stuff like that and how every show kind of has to have something like that

So maybe she was trying to do that. I don't know. I'm not even accusing her of anything because I honestly don't even understand what's going on. I just don't understand why she's using all these stories that don't add up at this point. And also, I just don't understand the fighting for JT in general. That guy's gross. Yeah, I don't understand that.

I don't understand that. Someone in the comments says, Ben, she's... Yes, Ben, she's coming up pathetic. I'm not saying she's coming up pathetic. I'm just saying, like, she's had some swings and misses, and she's eaten humble pie in the confessionals with a smile. I actually think she's handled it pretty well, because she's been like, whoops...

Whoops, I guess that didn't work out so well for me, as opposed to some people who try to make excuses for it and are like, well, it wasn't like this or that. So I appreciate that she's just like, yeah, I tried that and it was a colossal fail. I like that. But the JT thing, though, ultimately, I think we all agree, she can do much better than JT, no matter what. This controversy shouldn't have even existed in the first place because she should never have gone for JT in the first place.

Yeah. Texas girl in Virginia says at the end of the day, you get nothing for nothing. The real villain here is JT. He didn't do a good job of discouraging her.

I mean, he sold her. I don't know. I mean, I agree that the season was spent with him flirting with her. When they showed that Branzino dinner, I felt really terrible for her. And that he came in and he ate the whole Branzino before kind of dumping that news on her. And then, you know, even the thing in Hawaii. I mean, I don't know. I mean, I did feel bad for her for a point. But, I mean, he did say flat out he's dating the other girl. So if that happened, I don't know. I don't know.

It's confusing. Well, the other way that this is a, I was going to say, uh, can you agree that this is like a generally very uninteresting controversy? As far as controversy, you know, I don't like the lies. You know, it makes me crazy when people come out. It makes me crazy that she's saying one thing when the season started about being ghosted and we saw that that didn't happen. And now she's not addressing that and making it sound like something else. And then this girlfriend is saying that she was dating him the whole season. So I

I don't know. I want truth in my lies. I want truth in my liar shows. I want to know what the hell's going on. They're confusing me. They're making me invest in things. And then at the end, they're just pulling out the rug. I don't like it. Fred in the comments asks, where'd y'all hair go? So unfortunately, we don't have any good answers. I'm a sinner. Yeah.

and i was sinner i've been sinning a long time and the good lord took my hair that's what my meemaw told me and i believe her you know and guess what i'm losing more of it every day okay and our sparky is going through it because our sparky says my husband just told me that my lemon and chicken orzo soup needs a lot of seasoning so you know it's it's a tough monday

- Carrie has it best. Carrie says it best when she says, "Brandzino is not a couch fish." That is what we all, that is the truth, most truthful thing we've heard all of 2025. Brandzino is not a couch fish. - The other gossip going on in the Southern Charm world is that Craig is dating, ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da, Sally? - Sally? - There have been some hints that they've been dating

Oh, were they in Great America? Is this one of the bitches in Craig's phone? Don't, don't, don't. They were seen in a parking lot of a steakhouse. I don't, I feel like, I don't, I feel like Sally would not be able to, I feel like Craig would drive Sally absolutely nuts if this were true. I mean. He's just not smart. I don't know. She's dated a lot. She hasn't dated one person that I would think wouldn't make somebody nuts. Oh, that's true. She's dated a lot of people that we've seen on the show and they all look like idiots, so.

Yeah. But they were having dinner together and they say they're just really good friends. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, it always starts with the they're just having dinner together thing and then it leads to something else. It started at Du Moi, claiming Conover and Carson were seen having dinner together at No Pew. And then JT wrote under the post, makes sense. Dun, dun, dun.

And notably, speaking of Vanita, Vanita weighed in about not on this topic, but Vanita did say that she thinks that Craig is milking his breakup from Paige. And I agree with Vanita on that. I think Craig is really fueling this fire way more than Paige is. And didn't Austin make a comment like, geez, you save a girl from drowning and this is how she repays you? Yeah.

You should save someone from drowning just because they're drowning, not because you're hoping they're going to say something nice about you on a gossip blog. You know, like sometimes you just do things because they're the right thing to do and not because you're trying to get goodwill for your publicity campaign. It's a lesson that actually a lot of people should learn. Yeah.

Yeah. Do things just because they're the good thing to do? No, I'm not going to fucking do that. And, you know, here's a perfect example. I went to the grocery store today and I went to the Hobby Lobby. Not the Hobby Lobby. Michael's. The non-evil one.

And I went to Old Navy, two of those stores, not Old Navy. Thank you, Old Navy. Two of those stores at the very end said, "You want to round up for poor children?" No, I fucking don't. Stop trying to do good when I'm trying to shop in your goddamn store. I want a glue gun. Okay? That's what I fucking want. If the poor kids want something, they can come over here and glue some shit. Get out of here. It's round up the change. You all take that for tax breaks anyway. Don't try and good people me. I'm losing my hair. Did you not hear? I'm a bad person. So stop asking.

By the way, RIP. Did you hear RIP? Joanne. Don't you even give me a dead person. I'm not going to stand for it at the very end of this show. Her name is Joanne. No. Her name is Joanne and her last name is Fabrics. And they're all closing. Is she finally dead? Joanne Fabrics is closing. Yeah. They've been saying that for years. She's never closed.

Joanne Fabrics has been having a going out of business sale for five years. My friend was like, I went to Joanne's yesterday and it was pretty picked over. I'm like, that's how Joanne's always looks. They should just call it picked over.

I swear to God, if you try to get buttons there, okay, you are a business that is about buttons and fabrics, and you can only get like, here's two button size, one quarter inch, and here's six that are like three inches big. And how do you not have a proper inventory and supply of buttons at Joanne Fabrics?

"Bitch!" - Joanne is a bizarre, that is a bizarre place, man. Joanne's fabric. So I was gonna say, what are they gonna bury her in? Just like some unsold, like the only piece of fabric they couldn't sell in this five years of going out of business. It's like, poor Joanne, rest in paisley, bitch. Rest in paisley.

Did I tell you? I think I told you the time. Did I tell you about the time I walked into a Michael's and I thought I was walking into a Target and it was the most disorienting thing because there's a Michael's and a Target that are next to each other on La Brea and I went down the elevator and I swear to God, I thought I walked the doors are next to each other and I swear to God, I thought I walked into the Target, not the Michael's and I was walking around what I thought was Target and I was like, I cannot believe how crafty Target has become. This is a crazy Target. My brain would not

Let me like realize I was in a Michael's instead. And it was when you walk into a Michael's and you think you're in a different facility, it is a very strange experience. I'll just leave it at that.

Imagine this. You help your little brother land a great job abroad. But when he arrives, the job doesn't exist.

Instead, he's trapped in a heavily guarded compound, forced to sit at a computer and scam innocent victims, all while armed guards stand by with shoot-to-kill orders. Scam Factory, the explosive new true crime podcast from Wondery, exposes a multi-billion dollar criminal empire operating in plain sight.

In the 1980s, a rosé swept the country.

Hey Mike, I really like this White Zinfandel. Well good, good. Now put it down, we're gonna try another one. White Zin became America's top-selling wine. But most don't know that this sweet drink has a sour history. What began in 1986 with counterfeit bottles... A big fraud. A multi-million dollar fraud.

sent investigators chasing one of the most powerful families in the business, the Lichardis. But the closer the feds got to them, the more dangerous things became. It's a story of deceit. At the time, I was paranoid. Threats. You touch my kids, I will kill you. And murder. With a .22 caliber bullet to the head. What started with a scheme to mislabel wine spilled into a blood-soaked battle for succession.
