Yes, and this Monday, September 14th, I'm going to be doing a dinner cruise with Hannah Ferrier and Austin from Southern Charm.

You can get tickets. That's in New York City. It's going to be super fun. We're just going to cruise around, do dinner, do an interview. So it's dinner and a show with me, Austin, and Hannah. So find tickets for that on Hannah and Austin's LinkedIn bio on their Instagrams. And today is Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20, Episode 10

SPEAKER_3 (2:58)

Here we go.

Ben Mandelker (3:00)

Here we go.

So this is a new, it seems to be like this is the new tradition on Orange County, which is that every season they do dueling trips. I don't think any other show does a dueling trip. Maybe on this show they just know they need to because otherwise you have these blocks of people like Emily and Gina and the Trace Amigos who just sit and just sit in their blocks and scheme against each other. So this is the way to mix things up. So it's our dueling trip episode and we start with Tamara going through closets packing for Solvang, because one group is going up to Wine Country, to the little Danish town of Solvang, California.

Ronnie Karam (3:43)

Yeah. So Tamara, this is Tamara's house in Big Bear, right? Is it by Solvang, I guess?

Ben Mandelker (3:52)

No, but Big Bear is more at the east, and Solvang is more up by Santa Barbara. It's just sort of-

Ronnie Karam (3:57)

Oh, so that wasn't Tamara's house that they're staying in later? I guess Tamara's house is more cabin looking.

Ben Mandelker (4:02)

Yeah, I think this is just an Airbnb that she usually stays at when she goes up to Solvang.

Ronnie Karam (4:07)

Oh, okay. So she's packing with Eddie.

It's really the charisma coming off the screen, as usual, because it's Eddie. It's like, here's coming. Oh, me, Heather, Carmela, Gina.

SPEAKER_4 (4:20)

I've decided I'm not gonna invite Shannon and Vicky.

SPEAKER_3 (4:23)

I'm hoping we can all get to know each other. And Carmela's just so sweet.

SPEAKER_4 (4:27)

I want everyone to know she's not trashy.

SPEAKER_5 (4:31)

She's not trashy, though.

Ben Mandelker (4:35)

Eddie's like, well, it's just gonna be me and you, Rugby. The dog's like, great.

Can't wait. Me with Eddie again. Then we see Jen. She's packing with Ryan. And she's like, oh, you know, me, Vicky and Emily, you and Shannon are gonna go to La Quinta.

SPEAKER_6 (4:50)

And I told Emily about the pamphlet.

Ben Mandelker (4:52)

And it's crazy. So apparently that Ryan had like a caretaker pamphlet for his knee surgery. And it showed how to have sex safely without hurting his knee. And they did it.
