Speaker 1 (0:21) Hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. This is part two of the recap. If you missed part one, go check out your podcast feed. It's right there. And without further ado, let's get right back into the recap. So Vicki and Tamara come now and they're singing. I'm just overwhelmed. I mean, I would have done other things if I knew you were coming. I would have. Troy, stop popping that woman's leg. Speaker 1 (0:48) Hey, you know what? Girls, thank you for coming. I just want to establish myself more for my birthday. That's my birthday wish. And Vicky's helping me with my finances, and I put a lot of money into Real for Real. And thank you all again for choosing not to support it. I think that's a great testament to your independence that you don't just do things for friends because they ask you to. Thank you. So I shut it down last year, and I lost a lot of money. Oh, wow, so much money. Actually, I was... Speaker 1 (1:17) Turns out I was $75,000 just short of keeping it in business. So that's too bad. Only had that $75,000 left in my bank. Wow. By the way, if I mentioned that I hate flying commercial, it's hilarious. I think I was telling you guys from my private. Anyway, money, money. Let's stop talking about money. What's your selfish wish, Shannon? Just be selfish for once. Well, I would like to be a month again. Maybe take my kids on a trip. Oh, okay. Well, maybe more affordably selfish. Try that. And yeah, Shannon says that her selfish wishes to take her kids on a trip. And Vicky goes, well, of course, but not first class, right? We're only doing coach. Only coach. We already talked about that. Heather was clearly zoned out. Just sort of heard, she heard like certain buzzwords. Speaker 1 (2:10) And immediately she thought, oh, we're planning the cast trip. And so she hears, trip, and we're flying coach. She goes, what? Where are we going, coach? What? She goes from being like, look at me. I'm television's Heather Dubrow enjoying a pizza with a friend in a small house. And to suddenly her eyes just turn black. We are not flying coach anywhere. Not you, Heather! Geez! No, not you, sweetie. Okay, it's all right. God, she's really sweating. Look at Heather. It's about the most emotion we've seen out of Heather in years. Heather's like, ugh. Okay, listen. There were years we flew, coach. But now we've moved to the front. It would be very difficult to go back. I don't even like flying commercial. They're like putting a trauma blanket around her. Speaker 1 (2:59) Like patting down her forehead. It's okay, Evan. We're not flying coach. You can be our coach. I just was, it was so scary there for a moment. I was terrified. So Tamara's like, well, Shannon's been talking about moving to New York. You gonna do that, Shannon? And Fink's like, no, we're the Dress Amigas. We can't do that if you're in New York. I thought you guys broke up. What the hell? That show's still going on? Geez. No, we're the Dress Amigas, but we're working on being friends again. So all three of us, right? Speaker 1 (3:29) Oh, really? How's that going? Tamara's like, yeah, I thought we were. And Emily says, well, Shannon's going to have lunch with Tamara, everybody. And we see a flashback to Carmela's house where basically Tamara's like, hey, let's get lunch. And Tamara's like, yeah, I'm having so much fun with you. And I think that like, we should like, don't have cocktails. Just have fun, bitch. Yeah, she's telling us, I don't know. I just don't get why Shannon just can't get over me. You know, Shannon just can't forgive me for whatever reason. I don't even know what it is. It's so crazy. And then they show her like, you drunk, stupid, single, sly, nobody likes you. What, am I driving to a house or something? Am I driving to a house like you? Speaker 1 (4:10) No, Shannon and I had a great time in Vegas. No, she didn't crash into any single building. And I just feel like we're progressing. Instead, like, we don't have to talk about the past, bitch. We can just talk and have fun like other times. And by me saying we don't have to talk about the past, I really bring up the past later in this episode. Thank you, bitch. I don't know. I'll have to think about that one. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Now it's time to blow out candles. I love candles. Okay, here we go. Here we go. Speaker 1 (4:40) Why aren't they going out? What is, are these trick candles? Disgusting. Meanwhile, Heather's in the corner doing the thing with her finger. I'll never tell. What happened to Heather? She's still going through it without coach scare. Now it's family time at Jen's house and Ryan's walking around with the cane. She's like, oh wow. Maybe I need to ask Vicky if I can borrow her scooter for Ryan. He had knee surgery. Parallels. Because he used to play soccer. And Grayson and Dawson are... Holy moly, when they showed that picture of Ryan playing soccer when he was younger, first of all, he looked 10 years older in the picture where he was young than he does now, somehow. And God bless it, that man was fine. I still think Ryan is fine. I hate to say it. I think Ryan's really hot. Speaker 1 (5:40) He is. He's still hot. But the picture of him when he was younger looking older somehow. I mean, he was hot. He's been hot. Hot guy. Yeah. Between Heather Amin and Jen, they definitely had some fun with this guy. And he's had a lot of fun with a lot of people. So what I'm trying to say is he's hot. So he's had a lot of partners, I'm sure. And God bless it. So Dawson is back from the Marines for a little bit. And then this is actually just a nice scene with the sons. Yeah, gotta be honest. Low-key, low-key to be honest. It's crazy low-key being in the Marines low-key. Because if you're having a low-key bad day, one of the guys will low-key tell you, gotta be honest, bro. It's a black day. Got to be honest. Low key. Yeah. Learned all those words in the military. Thanks for having me back, Mom. Speaker 1 (6:42) So basically it's a scene where Jen is trying to ask Grayson why he's about like opening up. And he says he just doesn't really like opening up to his mom because it's awkward for him. And then like, he doesn't have that connection with the dad. Like Dawson has some, has like conversations with the dad, but Grayson doesn't. And Grayson is like, yeah, this is why I miss having a therapist because like that was the easiest person to talk to. And I'm like, could someone get this kid a therapist? What happened to his therapist? Can you guys pony up some, instead of going to Vegas, give him a freaking therapist? It's like, I mean, it's like not even a cry for help is literally like a formal request. He's like, I would like some mental health resources, please. And Jen's like, oh, wow. Okay, let me go inside and check in on some Ritz crackers. Okay, see you later. Speaker 1 (7:30) Yeah. I mean, look, Grayson has an emotional connection. Well, he's got a connection. Is your connection with Rod Stewart? And is Rod Stewart... telling you how to comb your hair like what he's forever got that connection off for it he's forever young it's very young so they have a very emotional scene talking about kids and that's just so great have my boys both home and then the guys uh the kids talk amongst themselves and um basically like the older bro dawson's kind of more of it Speaker 1 (8:08) No, basically Dawson's just like, listen, bro, don't keep your emotions bottled up inside. It's good to talk. I love talking about how I feel. It's very important for me. It's like low-key important. High-key. It's like low-key high-key important. Yeah, she says that. She says, it's low-key important to talk about your emotions. He says low-key 30 times. Yeah, he low-key loves saying it. So then we go to the Surf and Sand Hotel for the scene that everyone was excited for. It's Tamara and Eddie's romantic night of seduction featuring a flashback to their other night of seduction many years ago. Drown me in the surf and kick sand in my eyes. Restaurant. No one asked for this. No one needs this scene. Okay? How many times are you guys going to do this scene? Speaker 1 (8:55) before you're going to understand that nobody wants this. So this is like a, we need to get our stuff back together. We're not even fucking emotional. Not even one time a week. I mean, we need to get in that hotel and I'm dressed sexy in lingerie. Look, I'm wearing it. I'm just wearing lingerie and a jacket. He's like, we're in a restaurant, babe. Put on your jacket. She's like, yeah. So sexy. We're in the gotcha room. Me and Eddie, we're going to have sex. It's crazy. You guys want to watch us have sex? I'm going to crawl on the ground and bark like a dog. Speaker 1 (9:25) The worst is when she arrives, she goes, hello, I have a room reserved under the name Juicy. And the woman had to go, okay, Miss Juicy, we'll go ahead and check on that. I'm sure it's not the first time the Serpent's Hand of Laguna Beach has had requests like this. But yeah, they have this awkward kind of date moment and Tamara reveals... that um there's walls up with eddie and which is i think probably makes him happy because i think that's what he voted for um and she says there's a wipe and it's starting to scare me because we got into a fight about six months ago we're in big bear and the entire trip we're just arguing about stupid things not hot things like me But then we were driving home and he just looked at me and he goes, I think it's time to file for divorce. And that scared me, scared me in a hot way. It scared my heart. And now you're muted, Ronnie. Speaker 1 (10:29) Okay, we're back. So where were we? My microphone revolted against this Tamara scene. Where we were was just Tamara telling the story about how basically Eddie asked for a divorce on the way back from Big Bear after a big fight. But they still somehow back together. So that's why she's having a sexy scene because she feels like if they can get their love life back together, then everything will be fixed. Speaker 1 (10:55) Yeah, I mean, okay. At least they're not going to try and have a baby or something, because that's normally how I would suggest fixing it. You know, when my friends are like, I just don't know if this is going to work. I say, have a baby. Just have a baby. Well, I think the real way to fix it is just to renew your wedding vows. I think that's pretty much. Yeah, that always works on Bravo. Do you remember the time? Well, Tamara's already done those things. She didn't have a baby, but she got that fake baby. Remember when she's like, I'm going to have a baby. Speaker 1 (11:22) A real looking baby. And there's my pod. I've got a baby now. Hilarious. So, yeah, she and Eddie do a lot of, you know, sex stuff. I will say she looks amazing. Whatever she does to keep looking so great is admirable. I will never do any of those things. Whatever she does, we all saw it. We all witnessed it. It was like when she turned herself for three days into like... that like stupid cartoon frog. Her face was green and burnt off, but then she emerged beautiful. And it works like whatever she's getting works. And she even got a belly button put back on. Cause remember there was like one of the things online a few years ago was when she got her, whatever she's had so much done, you know, she's on Bravo, but. Speaker 1 (12:10) She was missing a belly button. And people are like, where's your belly button, you bitch? She's like, hey, I'm making fun of my belly button. And she got one, I think, put in because I saw one today. And only on Real Housewives do you notice things like that. I was like, wow, Tamara got a belly button. This is so cool. But congratulations. Love you. Love your belly button. The long and the short of it is that they retire up to their bedroom after Tamara opens up her coat and she is just like a lingerie in the middle. It's like, like. Speaker 1 (12:39) 5 p.m. happy hour. And so they go up to the room and they, like, in a brightly lit room that resembled, like, a Hyatt house. And they're playing, like, sexy Jenga. And first he has to, like, trace her body with his, like, over the clothes. I don't know. He's, like, just touching her body and putting his finger into the lingerie. And then he has to spank her. It's just, it was... Like, you could feel the stagnant air in the room. It was just so deeply unsexy. And I was like, please, please take us away from here. Thank you. Yeah, take me away. Look, I'm going to tell these two the same thing I tell literally everybody I meet. I don't need to see you fuck your husband. That's all. It's a simple request. But I'm glad you guys are happy, okay? Do it off camera. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappin's commercial. Speaker 1 (13:33) So Shannon is driving in the car with Tamara on the phone and she's like, well, hello, Tamara. This is me, Shannon Bedore. I just wanted you to know I completely, completely appreciate your invitation to get together tomorrow. But it's Vicky's birthday. And, you know, it's weird to not invite her on her birthday. And I just would feel weird. I would love it if we could invite Vicky. OK, can all three of us come? I mean, that's a totally different vibe. It's like, no, I understand that. I am just a little bit uncomfortable. I'm just not comfortable with having a one-on-one and potentially going deep with you. And I just feel like the trajectory we're on, we need to have Vicky. I think everyone
