Guess what happens when there's so much that crappens! Well, hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens! Crappy hour! I'm Ronnie and that's Ben over there. Hello, Ben. Hi Ronnie, how's it going? Good. How's Cheerio London, darling? London's quite lovely. I'm actually recording. Yeah, I gained an accent this

afternoon. Sort of amazing. I was walking down on Oxford Street and I was like, babe, excuse me. And then I love your pants. Love your pants. Love your school. Love your pants in your school. I did I did crash into a girl on the street because I was like trying to make a left to cross the crosswalk but she kept going straight and we did the thing like we both went one way then we both went the other way but since it was British and it's the holidays she was like I'm terribly sorry so um it was really adorable and um I got my accent after that I she she it's like that movie smile Smile, except instead of a smile,

and then eventually you die a week later, if someone smiles at you and they're British, you get an accent and it's immediate. Yeah, I forgot why smile is so horrifying until I moved back to LA and everybody was so horrified when I smiled at them. You know? I just want,

I just want to mention, I am broadcasting from the hotel. I apologize to anyone. If my wifi is shaky, I have no idea how it is. It seems to be doing well. And also special guests in the background. Everyone say hi to Mr. Dominique Kelly. Hi, Dom luxuriating on the bed. He really is. That is one sexy pose. on the bed. He really is that is one sexy crap and spose. We love a Dominique cameo. Well, my life has changed because I want to see the movie Wicked. So that was one thing that changed my life. It was so good. And you know what, I'm so ashamed of all my gays. My gays wouldn't go with me. They were all bitchy about it. And then guess what happened?

I went and then no one made any noise. I was like, how are people not applauding? But I went to see it in Texas. Do you think they were applauding? I feel like in New York after numbers, they would applaud like when they were really good. But in Texas, they do not. And finally, by the end, I was like, yes, I was screaming. Lights came up. I started screaming. I was like crying. I was like, Oh, my, I was the gayest person there. But God, it was worth it. And then I came out of the movie and Moana was letting out at the same time. Holy village of little girls.

I've never seen that many little girls. Dom was literally just telling me 10 minutes ago that Moana did a huge business this weekend and it's like apparently a thing. I'm gonna try to see Wicked this week in London. I'm gonna try to see a matinee, which will be exciting. I'm excited to see what it's like. But yeah, I guess I'm not surprised that in Texas people were not reacting to the screen

as much. One of my biggest regrets is that I did not see Dreamgirls in the theater. I saw a screener of it because someone I knew had one. And I felt all cool that I was seeing a screener instead of the movies. But then when I was hearing stories how people in like Los Angeles, you'd go and people were giving standing ovations to j-hud in the middle of the movie I've never seen a standing ovation in the movie theater and I really to this day I regret that so, you know I feel you when you said that you're gonna see those you gotta see those big ones in the theater for sure for sure That was really good and oh mother

I'm seeing the British. So anyway, that was really good. And oh mother, isn't it awful? That was really good. And you know, I needed it because it was a very emotional week over here at Watch What Crappens, because we got some terrible news about a show. We love, it's very near and dear to our hearts. And it started way back in the day.

It's called Vanderpump Rules. Yep. Vanderpump does not rule. Vanderpump does not rule. Vanderpump no longer rules. Vanderpump is dead. It's over. You know, Rome wasn't built in a day, but it burnt in like a week.

Did you know that? And that's what happened this week. They burnt Rome. They burnt it. Yeah. Well, the good news is Lisa is still with us on the show. So she will continue to live on. But yeah, I mean, you know, Vandermarbrulz debuted, it premiered, I think, the same year that we started podcasting.

I like if you'd go back and listen to like those, well, first of all, be careful when you go back and listen to them. But like Matt was on, Matt was on Crap-Ins. So like that show and that cast has been like with us in our entire Crap-Ins journey. And to know that A, that we've outpaced them is kind of funny, but also that like, that they're gonna be moving on. It's sort of sad. I feel like they just were always our punching bags.

And now like, you know, we've had other punching bags, but never quite as reliable as Vanderpump Rules. Oh, Vanderpump Rules would miss you kind of. I mean, it was kind of time, but mostly I was sad that I'm wrong because I thought there's no way they're gonna get rid of this show when it's still doing good numbers.

I mean, it was still doing really good numbers. And when you look at Bravo ratings, not everything is really still doing good numbers, unfortunately. And we like to blame streaming and we like to blame whatever it is. You know, maybe people are just watching on Peacock. You know, who knows what it is. But those numbers stayed pretty strong. I mean, they weren't beating the million mark or whatever, but they were still really close as high as as high or higher than any of the others, I would say. So I was surprised that they actually pulled the plug.

And then someone tweeted that it was about their cast salaries, that it was, they were just asking for too much money. I mean, after a pretty lackluster season, that's really not the time to ask for a raise. Lala and Sheena and all y'all, come on now. Yeah, I mean, I think there's, you know, the Bravo business structure that we've always heard about

is that every year that you're on the show, you get paid more and more and more. So it's already very expensive for Bravo. And we also know that Bravo is cheap as fuck. As much as they love documenting wealthy people, they themselves are actually very cheap. And so of course they're're going to be financially motivated to, you know, wipe the slate, open up the salary cap, if you will. But I think that like if this

last season had been super zeitgeisty and really captured imagination, maybe, and it did to some extent. I mean, for as dull as people say it was, like you said, the numbers were good, it got an Emmy nomination. But I think that they probably had a hard time deciding how to move forward I'm sure honestly like Ariana is like huge now and I'm sure that they probably wanted her back because without her like after like after like the the post-scanned of all things has settled and continues to settle like what is there really left for the show and I think that's probably what they they had to come to terms with. I was excited to watch the after youth version of it where the Toms like are all funny faced because of too much Botox and surgeries. And they're like with these new young thirsty girls trying to get on the show and you know, the evolution of the LA male. I was

excited to see that. Just as they just love Well, you still have Peter. Oh God. Peter's already out there like, well, guess who might have outlasted everyone on Vanderpump rules. Like, oh God, this is our promise of what's to come. Peter. Sorry, that noise is not me texting. I'm looking at the SirRules on Instagram, which is, can you see it? Hold on.

Sort of. They keep posting like things of their new servers and like, oh my God, look which is, can you see it? Hold on. Sort of. They keep posting like things of their new servers and like, oh my God, look how much everyone gets along over here. And we're in the same dresses as from season one, like the sexy little dresses and they're really, yeah, there's a girl who looks like Grace Lilly

from Southern Hospitality, which I'm in. Who doesn't really though. Just a bunch of new young people to screw each other over. So, you know, listen, I'm feeling hopeful-ish. Yeah, me too. Not for them. I'm feeling horrible for them. Your lives are gonna be ruined. You're gonna be losers for the rest of your life.

Look at 98% of that cast. Run, turn back, say no to the Paisley mini dresses. But they won't. They won't. You know, unlike the Roni reboot, which I felt was a little premature. I mean, but I understand business-wise, where I brought, I had to do it.

I think similar things. They were paying a lot of money to these women and the ratings weren't as good. There was optics issues. It wasn't worth probably all that money. So I get it. But I felt like Roni still actually had quite a bit of gas left in the tank when they did it. But here, I think this is good. I think actually, you know, the show has strayed from its original premise. And even though the next generation can never be as good as Vanderpump Rules original,

and I'm not even sure it could be as good as Southern hospitality, to be honest. I still think- Whoa, whoa. Jeez, I love that you always sound like you're on this positive monologue. And then you're just like, the world's over, you're burning tires out there in the front lawn. I mean, what the hell, bro?

No, no, it is positive. The reason why I say that is just because I think they have such enormous shoes to, to live up to fill in that I think people will have a hard time truly embracing them. And I don't think that Southern hospitality had to deal with that. So they could, they could sort of like flourish on their own, you know, poor terms. And so I think that, but I think that like, I'm excited to see a new crop of kids and their shitty apartments and busted air conditioners squabbling at the bar. Like I'm actually genuinely excited for that. And I have

like open arms for this reboot. Yeah, me too. So let's go through some of the stuff that has been coming out. I told you Peters already, which is the most depressing. So come on, be back. Yeah, nothing like watching Peter hit on 22 year olds, which you know is gonna happen. I'm like, just keep trying to cover up that bald spot with the rest of that ponytail girl. Nobody needs it. So the pony around him, say it

still, you know, I love to say pony around him. He's still traumatized. Starter pony starter pony. I'm surprised we will you know what we should probably look it up the statement from Raquel because I'm sure there was one. But I'm surprised we, well, you know what? We should probably look it up, the statement from Raquel, cause I'm sure there was one. But I'm reading from the US Magazine Weekly, and it says, "'The last 12 years of filming have been extraordinary,

run full of laughter, tears, herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, and everything in between,' Vanderpump said. "'I can't thank enough those who have shared their lives, how I love you all. In the restaurant business, one shift always gives way to another.' In other words, turn them, burn them, 86 Sheena. She's done. Get her out." In other words, the show has turned a corner. Oh dear. In other words, the show has turned a corner.

Oh dear. Um, well, so right ahead of this announcement about the, and this is all swirling together, so I'm not trying to go out of order here, but, um, like, there's no order, my friend. I just 12 hours, whatever I saw. Well, 12 hours before this, and we should have known this banner from rules news was gonna come because like, like it feels like just a heartbeat before we learned that Schwartz and Sandys would be closing down. And then of course it all makes sense

because if there are acts from the show, they're not gonna be able to promote their failing bar. So of course the writings on the wall, perhaps intentionally. So maybe it's part of the sand of all's decor. But yeah, shorts and Sandy's closing up shop after all that time and money they put into it. Yeah, and you know, there was a lot of statements and Tom Sandoval's girlfriend made a statement that was like, oh, I'm like just so sad for you guys

because like you didn't even really get a chance. Like you totally got screwed over because like you should have had this season to promote yourself, which you didn't get. And they opened in a stupid place. They had to be that bad business decision. And I think the only decent thing was the Caesar salad, but I'm not sure. I think some people like that lobster corn dog thing too,

but you know, could have worked, but why would you put that in a place with no parking on Franklin? You need to put it in the Disneyland of the Vanderpump rules. We went to something about her and we saw, you know, those girls come right to that little restaurant for lunch. They take a break, they come back and they go to the bars for dinner. It's like

that's our Disneyland. It's the Universal Studios. You can't have your land in a different theme park. Yep. No, they, it was too far away. Like where Schwartz and Sandy's is slash was, it's kind of like a hipster kind of place a little bit, you know, there's like the UCB theater there, there's cute little wine bars. It was it was Tom and Tom really trying to make a real bar for like a real LA scene. And the thing is, it's like, you got to know where your bread is buttered, if you're allowed to say that in weho. And like, she should have just taken over one of the old song shops that closed down during the pandemic.

And like she should have just taken over one of the old thong shops that closed down during the pandemic. Yeah, exactly. And look, Vanderpump made TomTom out of a dildo shop. Remember? She really did. Yeah, I mean, it made so much sense. It remained a dildo shop.

You know, my heart goes out to, there were so many losses with this restaurant closing. Obviously the Toms lost their restaurant, their money, people lost their jobs, you jobs, chefs out of business, food things not getting ordered. But the one who really stood to lose the most was this Victoria Lee Robinson, who was probably casting her,

she was casting her lot there or whatever the phrase is. She was trying to get onto Vanderpump Rules and she was like, this is good. She basically, she was trying to get on Devanderpump Rules and she was like, this is good. Oh, 100%. You know, she basically, you know, she got a raw deal there, because she put in the work. She put in the work with that one and she didn't even get to be on Bravo. Yeah, and this was her statement.

I'm so proud of you. I'm just assuming she talks like this. Doesn't she look like she talks like that? See, I'm sorry, but I'm sure, I can guarantee you this much. I don't know what she talks like. I See, so sad. I mean, I'm sorry, but I'm sure, I can guarantee you this much. I don't know what she talks like. I can guarantee you what she doesn't talk like. Hello, I'm so proud of you.

If only you were allowed to properly promote the place on the show as planned. If only someone would have allowed you to have access to the shopping center sign that came with the property so people could see it as the place is hidden in a corner, which I tried to pay for and surprise you with multiple times but was turned down. Yeah, you can't just walk into a strip mall and be like, we're changing the sign. I'm dating Sandoval. I'm sure that went over great.

This isn't like a shaky's pizza. You can't just like get your name thrown up there with a birthday. Okay. Excuse me. Continued. The. She's excuse me. I continued. The list goes on and on. I felt I felt bad from the beginning for the both of you. I love you. I'm here to support you always remember people don't always know what goes on behind closed doors and don't know all the facts. I love you. Thanks so much. Oh, and then Tom Sandoval said thanks so much baby. Love and lockdown with you. Yeah, I'm not sure what loving lockdown means, but yeah, he's

replying, giving a nod to Lala Kent's recent suggestion that Victorian Sandoval had Sandoval on lockdown. Oh, I see. You know, I love that like her like defense and her ode to her boyfriend is simultaneously a, uh, Yelp review to the manager of the strip mall. Like, and by the way, I tried to make a sign and they turned me down. She is right though. I, uh, I had heard rumors weeks ago that it was closed and so I was coming back from somewhere over there and I was like, I'm going to pass by and see if it's closed. And I was like, oh, it is closed, but it wasn't. You just can't see it because it's in the corner and they do have that little neon sign, which is kind of too busy. But hey, it's something. But it's like hidden behind kind of a walkway and a patio. Yeah. I mean, you have to be looking for it pretty hard.

And Katie also posted on Schwartz's post that was like, oh, Jack, you know, I mean, I'm just like, oh gosh, it's just like so sad, like, you know. His post was meandering, gosh darn post. She posted, it rhymes with Katie Maloney's bar and grill. Just kidding. I'm looking forward to what's next for you. It does have to be satisfying for Katie knowing that she has

people like lined up around the block to have her sandwiches while shorts and sandies goes down the tube. I also think that by the way, that the story about the sign, them not allowing them to promote on the sign, there's got to be more to it because I don't know any landlord that's going to have a tenant, but then won't allow the tenant to advertise their business. I mean, I'm not giving landlords too much credit, a lot of shitty landlords out there, but I think that by and large, landlords do want their tenants to pay their money, and they want the businesses to do well so that way they get

their money. And so I don't, I just don't think it's as simple as like this should some, some fickle landlord decided that they did not want the one business in their strip mall to not advertise on the side. There is more of that story. I guarantee. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappins commercial. Hello ladies and germs, boys and girls. The Grinch is back again to ruin your Christmas season with his The Grinch Holiday Podcast. After last year, he's learned a thing or two about hosting and he's ready to rant against brismas cheer and roast his celebrity guests like chestnuts on an open fire.

But that's not all. Somebody stole all the children of Whoville's letters to Santa and everybody thinks the Grinch is responsible. It's a real Whoville's letters to Santa, and everybody thinks the Grinch is responsible. It's a real Whoville whodunit. Can Cindy, Lou, and Max help clear the Grinch's name?

So shortly after the announcement, the cast took to their respective social media feeds to post their goodbyes, thanking fans for sticking with them, etc., etc. And let's see, who's this one? Schwartz also shared a clip video created by a fan set to the tune of the Friends theme song, writing, I'll have the last 12 years replace in my mind. Okay.

Kyle Cook responded, he said, you gave it your all, something to be proud of. Sometimes the stars don't align and the journey is full of learning lessons, like learning that is not a good idea to marry someone who wants to drag you out to the Jersey suburbs, but enough about that. The biggest regret of all would have been not trying in the first place, sort of like me with

Amanda, right? Second regret, trying in the first place. So hats off to you guys for putting your blood, sweat, and tears into something you actually are running your own business and where there's no risk, there's no reward and definitely no Amanda. Love you, buddy. and where there's no risk, there's no reward, and definitely no Amanda. Love you, buddy. Arianomatics had a post that ended with, I don't know that these were the best days of our lives, but they were definitely something special.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm practicing on the giant turkey float for the Thanksgiving. No, I will more or less lip sync to the cardigans. Excuse me now. Sheena posted a picture of herself No, I will more or less lip sync to the cardigans. Excuse me. Sheena posted a picture of herself back in the beginning and one of those original dresses that it looks like they're bringing back for the reboot. And I mean, this was 10 faces ago. Bless her. I've loved all of her faces, you know, as problematic as she can be. Who did she ever hurt? Besides, I don't know. Probably a lot of people. But you know, now that we're just being nice about Steph. Yeah, besides Leon Rimes. No, I mean,

general alcoholism. Brandy Glanville. Well, she wasn't great with that. Yeah, Brandy Glanville. Yeah. Well, Brandy Glanville. Fuck her. Like, seriously. Okay, so she's like, the end of an era and the start of something new. I don't even know where to begin. Well, haha. Like, okay, okay, yeah, of course it's still going to be five paragraphs, girl. I don't know where to begin. You don't know where to end. Okay? You don't know where to end. That's my note for you. So she goes on. It's amazing. I can't imagine when we shot the pilot, I can't imagine it became what it has. Nor go for as long as it did. And yes, you're right. I just said, nor. So to the fans who've been with us from the beginning, corner! And to everyone who joined along the way, thank you! Pitting our lives out there isn't always easy, but every time one of

y'all reached out to say our stories resonated, you made it all worth it. To our amazing crew, blah-de-blah, I'll be forever grateful, blah-de-blah. We've truly worked with the best cast crew and been part of so many special moments. Here's my Venmo and my PayPal. Please, send them all me. As quickly as you can. And then she wrote, the rest is still unwritten. That was her last cryptic. Little Hills reference.

Is she gonna be doing a Hill reboot? She's like, I'm Lauren Cahn right now. Everyone just shows up on screen with a blonde wig. The rest is the blonde man, Cahn. Cahn. Is she going to be doing a Hillary boot? She's like, I'm Lauren Conrad now. Everyone just shows up on screen with a blonde wig. I want to forgive you and I want to forget you. It's like, we know you're not Lauren Conrad. Yes, I am. I'm very much Lauren Conrad. Where's Brody Jenner? And then Lala's post.

Where it begins. I was a young girl from Salt Lake City who made her way to LA. I would introduce myself as Lauren, but because my childhood best friend referred to me as Lala, my nickname quickly stuck. Sirs was a place that became home. I found myself not only sipping on vodka soda, sir,

but behind a hostess stand. It's still to this day, the most intimidating jobs I've ever had. A short time later, the opportunity to be on the show called Vanderpump Rules landed in front of me. I have such mixed feelings right now. It's no secret I do not like change. This is the exception. I want to say thank you for rocking with us for so many years. This show changed my whole life. I'm unbelievably grateful. We rock this bitch until the wheels fell off." And then it's like a dancing lady emoji.

Right. My favorite. History there. I'm just saying. James Kennedy says, I can't lie. I'm holding back some tears right now as I write this. But that's mainly because I'm so fucking high on cocaine. I can't even believe this bit of a laugh that I have right now. It's been a pleasure being a part of Vanderpump rules and filling your TV screens with our lives over the past decade and also playing the sickest music you've ever heard from one DJ who's ever played a set while sitting on a pile of toilet paper, babe. Okay, I've dedicated my life

to this show and I'm forever grateful to everyone who tuned in and all my dreams are finally coming true. This year I played the neon carnival EDC stage coach and a home goods on Finchall Boulevard. And I have a Vegas residency. Well, it's more like I've got a motel room in Vegas that I'm calling my residency, but it is a residency nonetheless, whether you like to use it in that phrase or that phrase, it's the only residency. And all I have to say is thank you. It's been a wild ride and I'm excited to see what the future holds. Although this is a bit of sweet ending for me, this is just the beginning because I'm the only one of those old fucks who has a job prospect after the show ends. Wiggy wiggy out.

I'm the only one who got out of here before he was on a rocker. All right. He didn't. He did play for Taylor Swift. What can you say? That's some revisionist. His arm is dumb is cannot believe what's happening over here. He's just sitting in the background of bed. Well, I just like it. I told him I told him run. You know, you don't need to be here, run, save yourself. It's just cracking up back there. Oh gosh, okay, so that's most of their stuff.

And now- By the way, did you see that Jax had a response to, and this is not a joke, and I wish I had saved it. I thought it was in here, but Jax, Jax basically had a response that was like, anyway, I'm going off to my show now, which is like the most predictable response. He does a whole paragraph that's like, Oh, my God, it was nice that it is anyway, catch you all on my show

kidding, not really. So he's fully enjoying this. Jax Taylor response to pump rules reboot notes. See you soon on my show, he says. Let's see, I'm gonna, it's Jax Taylor's world and we're just living it. Thanks, Yahoo. It's just a lot of photos of Jax, you know, of course. He's like, look at this carousel while I talk about how I feel.

He's like, I mean, this can be a series on its own covering my face, kind of hiding my eye. In all seriousness, Vanderpump Rules will always have a place in my heart. From what started as a crazy group of friends working together to make an ends meet to stealing vodka and tequila from your boss, to becoming such an iconic series

and dumping people after rehab. So many memories, both good and bad, many highs, still high, still super high, actually. Still lots of highs, probably more lows. Who knows? Because I'm high. But I'm so thankful to have worked with such an incredibly talented team. This isn't goodbye. More like see you soon on my show. But for real this time, devil. Yeah. It was my, in all caps. It is sort of sad that he is. He's he it is kind of his show. But the thing is, is that the Valley is going

to inherit a bunch of bunch of scraps from Vanderpump rules. Well, it's not really scraps. They're main players. But Sam scraps now the dinner is over. Okay, the dinner is over. It's not like a top tier talent to get Lala and Sheena. They're fired Yeah, but they're gonna Lala Sheena and Schwartz are going to show up on the valley I hopefully just like a sort of cameos or showing up here there because I just think that it's time the valley Actually was shockingly excellent and that cast has a really good chemistry and a good vibe and I just don't want it To be ruined by seasoned vets.

We're gonna try to take over the show and like continue their 15 minutes. Like we already have, we have Jackson and Kristen, and that's great. I just don't, let's let the valley be the valley. Yeah, agreed. I mean, listen, no, not one single person that I've read. Well, that's not true. I'm sure there are people.

You know, listen, there are people who like everything. You know, that's what the internet has taught me. Never doubt the, um, the, uh, what do you call it? The, uh, possibility, the, like when you could have talent, what is that? That kid's got promise. I don't know. This is not something we usually talk about with band of pump rules. I know my tongue is totally tied. But basically this, uh, I don't know.

The potential for stupidity in commenters. But yeah, some people maybe do like it. I think this is the dumbest decision to put them on. Why would you, look, why are you doing this? Listen to the people. Literally, people were last season were like, would you like them on Vanderpump Rules? Everybody said no, okay, no.

I mean, when those girls bought houses in the valley, people were trying to get realtor.com set down. No, the answer is no. Nobody wants, the valley doesn't even want them there. And as a valley resident, I can now say, no, get out of the valley. It's hot enough. Well, that's you stinking it up and making it even hotter with your thirst. So yeah, nobody wants it. Hopefully they're just like smaller guest stars like last year when they showed up at a couple of parties and didn't really do much because nobody needs that. I need to see Janet get taken down on her own.

I don't need to see Janet getting more to her coven. But anyway, that happened. I love Shishu. I love our Shishu. Sheena forever cracks me up. I think she's like, she has her ups, she has good seasons, bad seasons, but she always makes me laugh.

And so I do want a space for Sheena I just I just feel like the Valley needs to be its own thing the Valley survived its first season and showed it doesn't need Any help from like special guest stars? Let's find something else for Sheena. Okay, and let's let the Valley be the Valley Yes, there's a comment in here that says these are the kind of guys who buy girls socks. I don't know what that means, but I hope it means us because that is accurate. We buy apple socks. That's funny. Okay, so, um, yes, so the Valley Valley Valley, they're going to the valley. What else happened over here? Oh, well, I was just gonna say, I guess kind of the least surprising news out of all of this

is that the most canceled are the people who came out on top. I mean, listen, you had Jax, Kristen, and Stassi, all the people who got fired from the ridge are now back fighting Jax. Jax and Kristen have a new show. They've been pretty much forgiven. I mean, if you hate them, it's for new stuff, most likely.

And Kristen is pregnant. She's having a little cuckoo. Hopefully her baby is named cuckoo. Seriously? Seriously. Marry, Kosa. So she's doing that. And then Stassi just got a seven figure deal

for her podcast, which that's $10 million, right? Yeah, that is 10 million more. That's 10 million times the podcast. That's not podcast one. That's podcast 10 million. She is going to podcast one getting $10 million. Yeah, they did ride the wave, you know, because the thing is that like, sometimes not right the way they did, like they are now up because the thing is that these things happen in waves. And so they took their hits in 2020. So now they are now ascendant because they had they went they were in the they're putting the time out corner. They are now ascendant and now everyone else has to scramble and then maybe they will be ascendant to but I don't think so. It's like you got to hit the wave just right. And right. And I don't know what the future has for the rest of them, but yeah, it's wild.

Who would have thought that those three would be the ones who are. Someone pointed out that seven figure would be 1 million. No, that's not true. Wait, six zeros is a million, but yeah, she's right. Cause then the one would be the seventh figure. You guys. The last figure off for savings.

I never claimed to be intelligent. Okay. But still. I thought it says there was a $10 million deal. I don't know why I got that accent. Yeah, it would be eight figures. Going to the meeting? Why you going to the meeting?

So it does say Sausage Shroeder, land seven figure podcast deal. Okay, so it's not $10 million deal. Well, who knows? There's a lot away. So you know, she's she's killing it over there. So and she's also got a new TV show. Well, it's not new, but they're gonna try that Vanderpump Villa with Stassi there somehow. I'm still not sure how that's gonna work out. But couldn't be worse than the first go round.

I think the word on the street is that they basically tossed season one aside and are starting fresh, which is good. I'll resample it again. I won't hold the crimes of season one against it. I'll just hold the crimes of season one against anyone who is creatively involved in it. Yeah, Alex Baskin up there putting the wrong people

on this show. So let's see here. What else? Are there any more Vanderpump rules-ish things that we should be talking about? I really want to know Raquel Levis's, Levis, how do you say that? Yeah, Levis, I think it's Levis, Levis?

Levis, let's see what she's posting on her Instagram. Cause you know, she's got that brain surgeon, rocket scientist guy now, let's see what she's posting on her Instagram. Because she's got that brain surgeon rocket scientist guy now, let's see. I hope she did a full statement. Well, she's standing in front of a rocket. That's why. That's good. She's buried.

So it is a rocket scientist. Buried on the nose. Is it a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist she's with? Both. He is a person who goes up on he builds rockets and then does surgery on their brains. The rockets have human brains. Because she is in this picture standing in front of a rocket and it says, take me back to flight five. Today SpaceX will be

launching the test flight six, but nothing beats witnessing the booster catch for the very first time in history. Best of luck today, Shamrock. Take me back Tuesday. This is an actual real thing that she wrote. Okay, first of all, Raquel, like doing a selfie at SpaceX is already kind of like, what is, in front of there are squid-looking rocketship. Look at that. It looks like a squid without its tentacles. So there's that find a better animal to look like. I'm offended for squids. But Raquel, when you say is her boyfriend a rocket scientist, and then we go and then there it is Raquel standing

in front of a rocket. It's just, it's so on the nose. Are we allowed to say on the nose when we talk about Raquel? Is it too soon? Always too soon for that one. Dark, dark stuff. There's another one where she's kneeling down and like bringing a thing in front of a disco ball and it says disco our heart chakra meditation. And obviously it's just in silence, but it's a video and I guess she's doing chakra work on people. And someone wrote, Do you actually have a job? It was Bethany. That's the top comment. Do you actually have a job? Why aren't you at the recording

studio? She's gone now. They're rebooting that show. You know that, right? Don't you listen to Crappy Hour? No, I know. No, I know. She left her podcast, I know that, but I'm just laughing at, I'm just imagining Bethany, Bethany walking into the empty studio

and expecting Raquel to be there. It's weird that she's doing this Disco Hour thing, that's her new thing. She's like, look at me, it's Disco Hour. She has another post called Disco Hour Unboxing. Glow Crystal Bowls, use code code Rachel Leavitt for money off. You know, there's a picture of this picture of Raquel with a I voted sticker and says another selfie this time with a sticker

American flag hashtag election day. Unfortunately, she voted for whether or not she wants likes the chicken Big Mac. So she's you know, she's well intentioned But she just gets her votes wrong. The fuck is that wrong elections? The fuck is that chicken Big Mac? It's like limited time. I was like, yeah, cuz we're gonna be dead if you keep it out much longer Who's gonna die from heart attacks from that thing? But it's a Randall sandwich isn't that two chicken two chicken breasts on a two fried chicken breasts on a Big Mac It's basically like giant McNuggets on a Big Mac and I was gonna get one I was like, oh my god, I gotta try it and then when I was told it was basically McNuggets on a two fried chicken breasts on a Big Mac. It's basically like giant McNuggets on a Big Mac and I

was gonna get one I was like, oh my god, I gotta try it and then when I was told it was basically McNuggets on a Big Mac I was like, I don't know why that's not as appealing to me. Besides the sausage roll I had today will do way more damage than any chicken Big Mac could ever do to my body. Way more. Guess what we have a request. Yes, go read Joe's post from Yeah, Joe was doing Yes, let's do that. I'm going to Joe. So I

went, you know, I saw something with Joe the other day. And I just couldn't I was like, maybe I'll watch out later. But right now, I just don't have the patient strength. I'm trying to think of the right word, strength. Will, I don't have the will to watch it. One of those, it was something like that me is that like she had put up a picture with like her sitting in like interview chair being reflective. And I'm like, I don't think you get to do the, I don't think you get to do this. You were not on long enough to have a nostalgic, wow, guys, those were the best days of our

lives. Like what's next? Vale? Are we going to hear from Vale and see her stocking heads? Vail. I would like to hear from Vale. That's actually who I want to hear from. Vale, that girl who got dumped at rehab.

What was her name? Laura Lee. Laura Lee. I don't see this post on Instagram. Does she just post a lot? She must have taken it down. She must have taken it down. Oh, God.

So what's her name? I have to go on a real search for this shit. Oh my gosh. She curates. But yeah, like you know what? I would love to hear from like some of the smaller players like Guillermo or what about Diana or Rocio? They're gonna be on the new one.

Guillermo's still over there. So he'll be there. What about Jax's girlfriend, Carmen? What about Carmen? Oh my God, she was amazing. Remember when's girlfriend Carmen, what about Carmen? She was oh my god She was amazing remember when she broke up because what was it? He wouldn't pay for her hamburger at that hamburger hut thing on Sunset. He had a hamburger hamlet What about Kelsey Patel Do you remember Kelsey Patel? I don't.

She was Jax's Reiki teacher. Okay. I'd like to hear from him. You guys, I can't find this post. That sucks. I know. Well, you know what? Some things are left in the past.

Yeah, probably that's it. This is very profound. So let's see. So what else is going on in the world of Bravo, Ben? Let's go over some other stuff. There's a new Real Housewives of Miami cast member. Yeah, there's new, so I'm just so excited that like the Miami like rumor mill is gearing up.

We got news, you know, there was the whole Bravo fan fest that happened since we last did Crappy Hour. And so Bravo trotted out a lot of people from a lot of shows, but they were doing a big push, I noticed for Miami, which was great. I mean, they were in Miami, but I was really happy. People were very concerned earlier this year about why are the cameras not picked up for Miami?

Alexis going through this divorce, where is Bravo? Why is Bravo not doing this? Why is Bravo failing us? Why does Bravo hate Miami? Well, the good news is that Bravo seems to be fully behind Miami again. They really did a big push at the show and they introduced the new housewife

and her name is Stephanie Shojai. Shojai, Shoahi, Sho, I don't know how to say her name, but her name is Stephanie and she is a real estate developer. And I don't know what any first impressions of her so far, Ronnie? Well, they seem to find somebody extremely delusional, which I appreciate because they said, describe yourself to us. And she described herself as a trailblazer

in everything I do. So I'm in, that's the kind of spirit I need. I love people who are like, I'm amazing, I'm a trailblazer, which is why I love Bo's on Beverly Hills. She like literally invented everything and she's the boss of everything. Yeah, but I think it's so funny.

Miami's a good place for that kind of bravado, right? Because you've got Alexia who's like, I was born a star, so you may be a trailblazer, but nothing can blaze as bright as my star, sorry. You know, so I'm looking forward to that. Yeah, I heard that they were hiring Dr. Nicole Martens. Okay, so she's with Anthony, right? That Robin Williams guy.

Right. And his ex, I think they hired his ex to be on the show, but I don't know if this is that girl. I do have hopes that she is Middle Eastern, just you know, represent. We need more than Larsa. Of course it's Middle Eastern, right? It's Larsa.

Is she Lebanese? Half, I think. Or maybe she's full. But we need more than Larsa, as a phrase said by everyone in any context that they've ever known Larsa Pippen. We need more than Larsa! Do you remember when Larsa, when the show wasn't on the air and Larsa was a spokesperson for Butt Bleach? I will never forget it. And butts across America were saying, intriguing, but we need more than Larsa Pippen.

Hey, butts are even more puckered than ever. They're huddled up in a corner saying, we need more than Larsa Pippen. Yeah, so she shared a taste of what's to come, calling herself a very tough cookie, but I'm a delicious cookie. Okay, I mean, I appreciate you. But it doesn't matter because you're gonna break my teeth,

you know what I mean? So. Yeah, the thing is this, you might be a tough cookie, but if you wind up being just like no meal raisin cookie when I'm looking for a chocolate chip, it's gonna be a problem. Okay.

Yeah, cookies are controversial. You don't wanna just say I'm a cookie, especially a tough one. No, I don't like that. I don't like tough cookies anyway. Who likes tough cookies? Literally nobody. I don't wanna to just say I'm a cookie, especially a tough one. No, I don't like that. I don't like tough cookies. Anyway, who likes tough cookies? Literally nobody. I don't remember that phrase. I want all the things that are tough. There's so many tough things in the world. Why is cookie your best example of it? Like, you know, it's not tough.

I'm as tough, tough as a cookie. It's like, wait, what? And then that's what's stuck with all of us. Yeah. We're people from the 20s. Like, yeah, keep it. Just put it in. Put it in the put it in the news. So people in the future, we get up, we'll get that to the cookie. She's a tough cookie. Who is fucking up their cookie recipes so badly that it was like just obviously known that cookies were tough.

So closing out some last show stuff that shows that aren't on anymore. Orange County ended, but we have not been able to do any kind of follow up with that because I don't know, it ended and it was over and then we haven't done crappy hours since it ended. So John Jansen did a tell allall, which is pretty funny. For someone who wants a non-despairment clause so badly, wow, a tell-all is hilarious. No, he didn't want the non-despairment clause.

Remember Shannon was the one who wanted it. But meaning that he didn't, well, he did not want a non-despairment clause, oh, you're right. Right, she wanted the mutual, and he was like, no, I'm not signing that, I wanna talk shit forever. How am I gonna get on Entertainment Tonight? And then sure enough, here he comes on entertainment tonight.

And the guy who does the interview is there. The interview is there, he's so cute. He was wearing like a little Jackie O jacket. He's like, this is very important for me. I'm gonna wear a very important jacket to this interview. And they were like walking, he's like Diane, he's like Jane Pauley, it's Jane Pauley, right? He's walking like Jane Pauley, like making a serious face. Like, John Jansen, let's talk about receipts. John's like, Iie. It's Jane Paulie, right? He's walking like Jane Paulie like making a serious face like John Jansen. Let's talk about receipts John's like I'm wearing a Gucci belt

That's what I have to say about this whole thing Yeah, he's a piece of shit and of course it would it's not it's not surprising I confused his His his lawsuit with Michael Darby Michael Darby is the one who wants a non-disparagement, but either way, these guys are garbage. And of course, John Jansen going on a victory lap about this whole thing, you know, claiming he wants to be a private person, but then, you know, squawking to everyone. And as much as we love entertainment tonight,

and sweet, sweet Nichelle Turner, no, this is, he needs to go away. This is stupid. Yeah. And then Alexis just keeps having posts like, oh, you will get the proof. You will get the proof, everybody. God told me, stay strong.

God's with me. Girl, God does not want you to get proof against people on The Real Housewives, okay? It's not what God's for. He wants you off. But what God is handling you, there I said. When you get fired this year, it's because God said so. Yeah. I mean, how many signs does God have to give you? At some point, you've got to look at the celestial omens. And on top of that, the fact that like, she heard this whole statement that she has

where she says, I just had a chance to watch the reunion of our RHOC season 18. And like, I'm letting everyone know that I'm like broken this season I was already broken by losing my mom three months ago prior to filming So it was already a difficult decision to sign back on and like yet I'm thankful because it brought me out of bad out of bed and out of my depression now if you're thinking like oh Guys, maybe we are being too hard on her because she did go through a really hard time in her life The picture that goes along with this is Alexis looking over her shoulder extreme close up in glam be like, like, no, no, no, no, no, no, like millions of pennies of fake diamonds dripping off of her ears all the way up girl could you like this is the moment where you put

like maybe a black and white photo up like stripped down there no makeup like this is me at my raw as that she's like, here I am. Future past Maxi dress me then. She's trying to victim cloak herself, but then she can't even keep it. She's like, I had depression. I was in bed. Fuck Shannon Bedore. So she's like, but now I've been beaten down so badly, so wrongly in so many truths left out. Right. So much left on the cutting room floor that would have never brought me so much heat to me and my family. There are receipts, many, and they will be brought out this week.

The lawsuit only finalized because the opposition knew we had the receipts to bring it to court. Okay, well then bring them then. Crazy lady. Nobody cares. You suck. She ends this whole, she goes over all this money that was spent by John, this and that, receipts, receipts, receipts. And she brought receipts and they were not shown at the reunion. So now she's going to have to show them to entertainment tonight. And she just literally goes on and on and she says, God has a different plan. So do the viewers of this show, get the fuck out of here. And then she goes, I'm going to live with God because he always prevails.

You know who else always prevails? Shannon B. Doar. Now get the fuck out of here. You lost. By you lost. You lost. They've got out of it. He's got enough shit or they've they've got enough shit going on without you. Okay, don't need to take credit for all your bullshit. Because God has a plan. And God is giving you a mop and saying clean up the mess and aisle six in your trampoline park. and God is giving you a mop and saying, clean up the mess in aisle six in your trampoline park. Yeah, and when his plan turns out to be you

waiting tables at Chili's, don't complain. Okay, you don't get to choose the plan. Now, I mean, the hot take here, I know you don't agree with this at all, but like that being said, I think that they should bring her back. I think she was a great villain. She sucks.

I think she was a great diluted villain. And you know, I love my awful, awful villains. This is a terrible trait that I have. I have rallied for the worst women on Bravo, time and time again. I'm sorry, I know, I don't know what this says about me, but I can't help it. I love my trash box villains.

You know, it's not that she's a trash box or that she's a villain, she's just so bad. She can't even form a sentence, she's just an idiot. I'd like somebody a little, I want somebody a little smarter, you know? I don't like just a complete, I like you to be like a dumb ass in a funny way, which she's not, or be, this whole like,

desperate for men like John Jansen, I can't, we need to stamp this out. I have to say, speaking of this whole area, I was going through my hard drive, I was clearing stuff out, going through old photos, and I had saved a video clip of Heather DeBrow's little monologue against Shannon Bador that we always quote. And I have to say, just watching it again,

it was like a masterpiece. It was so cold and evil, and it was just, it was, it was like a masterpiece. It was so cold and evil. And it was just, it came out of nowhere because you know, she's has like a sash in her hair. She sits down, Shan, like, I just want to say one thing. Okay. Thank you so much for coming to party. If you ever, and just like the way it pivots and it's so dark and it's so cold. And you see Shannon absolutely flummox like that, that, that moment is like perfection. And I think that like the Bravo fans

need to give it more credit. I feel like they give it a lot of credit, but like it really needs to be up there in the pantheon. It is so good. I'm totally unjustified too, by the way. It's like, it's such a, so, Shannon totally does not deserve it, but wow. Like that's great housewifery right there.

Yeah, that's just an overshoot, you know, which is, now that's a villain. You see, that's a good villain because that's Heather, like that's great housewifery right there. Yeah, that's just an overshoot, you know, which is, now that's a villain. You see, that's a good villain, because that's Heather, like really like, oh, I'm gonna show everybody Terry and I'm gonna come in Terry, let's practice this. What should I say?

If you ever, I'm gonna sit her down, Terry, and I'm gonna do this thing. It's gonna be so scary. And she does it and it's just an overshoot. She looks like a complete idiot and then she's made fun of. It's an overshoot. It's an overshoot, but like when we're-

That's good villainry, you know, that's like, she wrote a monologue. Have you seen idiot and then she's made fun of. It's an overshoot. It's an overshoot, but like one was- That's good villainry. You know, that's like, she wrote a monologue. Have you seen the musical that she's in that they're placing clips of? She's singing a song called Black Friday. I think it's about like she's a manager of a store, and she's evil, of course, which I'm glad she's like leaning into that.

I'm glad that Community Theater in Orange County was like, you know what, just have her play Satan. And in this form, you're a, just have to play, play Satan. And, and it's this form, you're a manager of like a big lots or something. And she's like, everything is on sale. It's black Friday. No. And I would like to buy a ticket and see. We're going to that show. I would love to see that.

Black Friday. Um, yeah, so anyway, she was great villainy. And you know what, when we're sitting here, you know, complaining about the real households in New York does not have enough camp. Like, honestly, I gotta give credit to Heather Dubrow for it as much of an overshoot as it was, it was just pure beautiful camp. Um, other quick things before we turn over to people, random random things have popped out of pop, fallen out of pop culture. One thing is that Jen Shaw called

Meredith Marks because at Bravo at Fan Fest, someone asked if Meredith, if or the group has anyone spoken to Jen Shaw and Meredith is like, actually, I just received a phone call from Ms. Jennifer Shaw a few weeks ago, and no, we had a nice conversation. It was 10 minutes long. It was caught off not by the jail, but because my toddler needed his diapers changed. So I took care of that. But it was nice to catch up on her. Yes. I don't know what they talk about. I don't like this non

news. I need to know what you talked about. If you're getting a file into that prison, like what's going on, girl? Yeah, she didn't really, I sound like she didn't really get into it. She just was like, we talked, but it seems like they are all pretty much, it seems like they are more chill about Jen Shaw than Monica, which is crazy.

Well, yeah, I mean, I get it, but it's, but it's, it's just wild to think that this person sitting in a jail for defrauding thousands of people still somehow. Yeah. But she didn't defraud them. You know what I mean? Monica defrauded them. I think they are looking at it as like we've been through battle together,

us and Jen Shaw and Monica's just some stalker, you know, I don't know, I can't relitigate the Monica stuff because she's still out there squeaking away, you know? Still out there. She's still going to be part of the plot this season, so she's still out there. Yeah, and in fact, Heather has went and said that Monica, I'm sorry, that Coach Shah actually tried to kiss Monica. Heather has now alleged this. Well, actually what she alleged, this was, you know, Heather, I would love to dogpile on Heather, but actually what she said was in her new book called Good Time Girl, which is funny, because it's a quote from Lisa Barlow, who she was so furious with. But she, it says something like Monica said that she tried to kiss, I don't know.

She's not alleging it, she's just saying she didn't believe it when Monica said it the first time. She thought it was a big lie, yeah. So either way. Illicit times happening with all these people. Yeah, illicit times. No one's shocked anymore. I'm not shocked about any kind of crap

that comes out of Utah these days. Geez, those horn dogs over there. Lord. It's one of the horniest states ever. How are there not more gay people in Utah? It's like one of the horniest places ever. It's more hard-on there than I've ever seen in my life. I've seen a lot of them.

Well, I'm sure they're there, just maybe not out. Okay, well, we're gonna end the audio portion of this and go to viewer calls, okay? Everybody who's listening, thank you so much for being with us. We'll be back to normal time next time in two weeks at around five, what time is it? Usually 5.30.

5.30 Pacific time. And you know, you can do the math from there because I will fuck it up as you know, I thought eight figures what I thought seven figures was $10 million. So that's where I'm at.
