Summary

Ben Mandelker of Watch What Crappens joins Mary Payne to talk all things Bravo this week! We go through 3 glorious episodes of the Housewives and have a few sidebars about other Bravo shows and drama (Metul, how could you do this to me, question mark). Ben has a real hot take on WHY we like Kyle this season as well as the whole “did Erika Jayne know?” controversy. We bask in the light of Gizelle’s fiery box as we break down the new season of Potomac. And, while we agree that we like Bershan calling out the ladies for being boring, we don’t like her calling OUR Lady Morgan a “clown”. We also think that Crystal and Sutton are both being real and “owning it” but maybe that’s not what these ladies really want. Spoiler alert - Ben agrees with MP that Erika didn’t know what Tom was up to.  She just buried her head in the sand and yes, she took the money, but she didn’t ask questions. Also, we are glad that depression during the pandemic was featured on TWO franchises this week. Follow Ben on Instagram and Twitter @benmandelker and follow Crappens on Instagram @watchwhatcrappens and on Twitter @whatcrappens. Visit the Pink Shade MERCH STORE (https://tasteofreality.com/product-category/pink-shade/) - Hey Bunkie & Pink Shade logo items (Plus tons of 90 Day & LALU merch, Real Housewives items & more!)Join our Hey Bunkie Patreon Page for Erin & Mary Payne's bonus show recaps every week: Patreon.com/heybunkie (https://www.patreon.com/heybunkie)Join our Pink Shade Patreon Page for extra chats, recaps of documentaries, book reviews, true crime, personal stories & more: Patreon.com/pinkshade (https://www.patreon.com/pinkshade)Join the closed Facebook group: Pink Shade (https://www.facebook.com/groups/296664290823728/?fref=nf)Follow us on Twitter & Instagram @pinkshadepod (https://www.instagram.com/pinkshadepod/) Subscribe to Payne In The Pod on iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/payne-in-the-pod/id1436766984?mt=2) or anywhere you listen to podcastsSubscribe to Cult Talk with Erin Martin on iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cult-talk-with-erin-martin/id1439245146?mt=2) - or anywhere you find podcastsCult Talk Social Media links - Twitter @CultTalk (https://twitter.com/CultTalk) / Instagram @culttalk (https://www.instagram.com/culttalk/) / Facebook Group: Cult Talk with Erin Martin (https://www.facebook.com/groups/392834007920576/)Listen to Erin's BBC Special, Jonestown: From Socialism To Slaughter on the Heart & Soul Podcast (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct1csk) See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for privacy and opt-out information.

0:33.2

Wow. Yeah. All right. Now, when I met you in LA, which was like two years ago, we met when I

0:40.4

0:46.9

met two hours before that. That was the first time you guys had met. In person. Oh, but you knew

0:52.9

each other virtually already. Yeah. In that crazy. We were like 90-day fiance style. We just

0:56.8

like met up and hoped it would work. We were in that boat. We were like that Airbnb, like the

1:01.1

second floor of that Airbnb. Yes, and we weren't allowed to Airbnb because it was West Hollywood,

1:06.3

so we were like trying to pretend like we knew the people that lived there. We'd be like,

1:25.6

microphone unplugged? I do. And we had to stop and we had to remember where we were and go back.

1:41.5

oh, I got this is so non-professional and embarrassing. But you've been doing it for a while now,

1:46.1

right now. What's got to be three years or so? Three years. And Aaron and I are coming up on one
