All right, at least I don't do crystal meth in the bathroom all night long. That's my opinion! He will never emotionally fulfill you. Because I don't want to be a part of it. Go to sleep. Go to sleep. Close your legs to marry me in trash box. I'll tell you how I'm doing. Not well, bitch. Who go check me, boo? All right, I'm coming into this laughing. Welcome to morally corrupt show here on the Ringer Reality Feed. I am Rachel Lindsay. So we, for the next few months, for the foreseeable future, we're having a little bit of a change up here. So I will still be here. I'll be present, doing the show and everything. But I will be joined by a guest. And I'm so honored to have our first guest here who's not a stranger to the show, not a stranger to the show. And the first time, though, here under this new regime, we will call it none other than Ben Maldicard. Did I get it right this time! Close. You were close. Remember I struggled with this last time?

0:55.4

Honestly, everyone does.

0:56.6

Man, Delker.

0:57.5

Yes, yes, there you go. It's okay. It's all good.

1:00.5

So close. I don't know why it's even hard for me to say. Okay, whatever. It's been. It's been. And he's back.

1:04.9

And we're so happy to have you back from Watch What Crapins. Very successful podcast over there. Thank you so much for having me back. I loved coming on here the first time. And I'm actually incredibly honored that I'm the first in this new, the new era. Well, we had to do it big. Yes. Well, thank you. Thank you. And we're ready to go. I feel like a star. You are a star. And you know we have to do a big too? Because I feel like we're in the dog days of Bravo right now, which maybe I'm making this up, but we haven't had this in a while.

1:11.1

Maybe a few summer dog days of Bravo right now, which maybe I'm making this up, but we haven't had this in a while.

1:30.8

Maybe a few summers ago, but, you know, they've been really good at keeping us at least three

1:35.5

housewives shows, one of the other shows on the side. I don't watch below deck. Not watching

1:41.5

McBee Dynasty, which... God bless. God bless. Don't watch it. It watch it. People obsessed with it. It's terrible. Our own Cali Curry is obsessed. People, it's either, you're either obsessed or you hate it. I'm like in the hate camp. I really can't deal with it. Yeah. It's too, it's, I don't care that they're farmers. It's not a political thing. It's not like, oh, I'm some liberal that I can't watch farmers. It's literally like, I just think it's a poorly made show. I think it's like a boring, shitty show. Okay, okay. So one of the questions I was going to ask you was, if somebody knew was coming to the Bravo world, where would you tell them to start, like where we are right now? Like in terms of what the schedule is right now, what they should be turning on. So it's clearly not McBee dynasty. I'm going to say no, not to McBee, probably. I think to me the obvious choice is Real House was in Miami, which is so good. I think it's the show to beat for 2025 on Bravo. Believe it or not, above the valley. before we get Salt Lake City next one. It's like a challenge.

2:17.7

I'm issuing a challenge. Salt Lake City will most likely be able to do it because it's, Salt Lake City is like the undisputed champ of Bravo for the past few years. But Miami is just working on such great levels. It is. It needs to be acknowledged and recognized.

2:54.8

And I think if you, if you're new to Bravo, like, jump in.

2:57.4

It's a big, beautiful, colorful show.

2:59.2

Yeah.

2:59.6

They have fun fights.

3:01.2

And it's just great.

3:02.5

It's funny.

3:03.0

Great characters on the show.

3:04.5

Even the addition of Stephanie, whether you, whether you love her or dislike her,

3:09.4

she's a good housewife for now. I don't know how long she can keep the stick up. If she comes back

3:14.3

next year, she cannot give us the same thing. Right now, Masu is not her husband. That plane is.

3:20.2

And so she's got to give us something else. Where do you stand with Stephanie? Are you in or out?
