Summary
Will and Rider may have The Traitors all figured out, but they've still only dipped their toes into the Bravo-verse! And so they've called in an expert in the form of Ben Mandelker from the hit podcast, "Watch What Crappens."
Ben shares a Real Housewives lore dump to get Will and Rider caught up on 20 years of inside jokes and the gang dives deep into how the Real Housewives have more in common with pro wrestling than reality shows.
Plus, Ben helps Will and Rider unpack the tense and controversial moment between Colton Underwood and Michael Rapaport - right here, alongside 3 experts on Pod Meets Twirl'd: Traiting Places!

| 0:17.7 | So now we've turned to Traders, another show that I've never seen, while Will is convinced |
