Finally!!! A perfect pair.
I finally found a Bravo podcast with good takes. And they even have good sound quality and voices. My goodness. It took way too long. Glad to be here!
Update: Still fantastic in 2026. I have rare moments of disagreement with Ben (though he is so sweet) and even rarer with Ronnie. Overall, they seem like great guys.
Update again: Guess what? Now I mostly identify with Ben. I’m obsessed with him. I adore Ronnie too, of course. My admiration for them both grows daily, but my ONE quibble is that it sucks when they casually mention using AI. Come on, gentlemen. You’re better than this. It pains me to knock off a star, but that is the ONLY reason for it. The men and the show are just fantastic otherwise.

Don’t bring politics into your show.
I cannot believe you had someone on your show who actually compared our president to a fascist and you call this entertainment. I do not believe this is a podcast. People go to learn about world events if you don’t mind me saying.

Horrible Guest Cohost
The Valley Loose Lips Sinks Hips guest cohost needs to keep politics out of your podcast. I don’t need to hear about her political views.

How dare you. That is all.

RS is not it
Love you guys. There are not two more talented, hilarious men on the planet.
I hate that RS was a guest as she is too activated, too political, and too free with her name calling and thinks she’s dialed in but she couldn’t be more wrong. Y’all are going to be surprised at how wrong you are about how you think the public feels re Fanet/Nia/Kristen/Danny/Britney.

Cringe
The impressions are cringe. I lasted 16 min before turning it off.

Bravo meets HOTD
Ben and Ronnie are hilarious. My favorite time of the year is when house of the dragon comes back so I can listen to their recap of it! Long time listener for Bravo content but love the bonus and hearing them recap a non reality show is iconic.

🤣 thanks for the free therapy
Their impersonations feed my heart and soul. Hilarious. If I’m feeling down-or just because-I listen to recaps of shows I’ve never even seen and I feel better ! Thanks guys ❤️

Thanks, guys!
I nearly drove off the road more than once from laughing, listening to this show. I discovered it commuting, months before retiring from a really hard job. Still listening and chuckling.

The Valley
I listen to The Vallley recaps so I can hear Ronny imitate Brittany, especially her laugh! I roar with laughter everytime I hear that!! 🤣🤣🤣

I Call them “The Boys”
“The Boys” (as I affectionately call them) are always on while I do house chores, errands, or am painting. My husband and I love them! There have been times where I can’t watch a show anymore (I.e. Schwartz and LaLa joining the valley was a NO GO for me) so I’ll listen to the boys.
I appreciate their entire recaps and voices—it’s like I’m watching the show without giving the show my money (if I deem them TOO problematic to watch [re-LaLa/Schwartz; The Valley). Other times, I find myself watching Bravo JUST to be able to listen to The Boys the next day.
The Boys are the Bravo Devil and Angel on my shoulder. I love Ronnie’s DGAF humor (he’s my inner demon voice and tickles my darker take on things). He gives voices to my “I don’t care; I don’t like you” side. And I love Ben’s empathy and balancing light. He brings up the ethical, pragmatic side of things, and that’s always a good reminder to look at all sides of an issue.
All in all both sides are needed to make this show sing, and I love them for it. I agree with 95% of their takes, and the other 5% of the time, I dream of being a third wheel to add in my 2 cents. And hey! That’s how you know they’re doing a great job. All good podcasts/opinion shows SHOULD make a listener want to join in the conversation.
Thanks, Boys, for making me feel like I have a perma-friend to gossip all things Bravo with. My husband and friends thank you too as they now get much needed reprieve from my obsessive hyper-focused hot takes and convos. Much love and keep doing what you do. Don’t change a thing!!! -Claudine

Friends I wish I had to gossip with!
I discovered them during Scandovol. Their impressions and hilarious one liners made my day. I can’t watch the other Bravo shows but will listen to them for the laughs. Note takers aren’t great and the show has suffered but they are doing their best ❤️

Benooons!
I love Ben and Ronnie’s banter… I often listen to their version of the show first to know what funny parts to look out for. I feel like I’m gossiping with my friends in the car. Both are equally hilarious and fresh! Caught them on an early episode of Straight up With Stassi and was happy to have another podcast to look forward to especially since Stassi’s got cancelled for a while shortly after. Been a big fan ever since!

Favorite Podcast
Thank you for spending every day with me! You make even the bad shows funny! Just hearing your theme song start puts me in a better mood!

Listeners think Ronny is the cranky one…
But Ben stuck in his childhood home without caffeine… watch out!

Long time listener, first time caller. Note takers makes so much sense, the show has lost a lot of its heart & a script is written, Ben follows it. I hope Ronnie will start his own pod when done with this, he’s the humor, and quick wit. Ben is stale. He always has been, but now he’s extra.

Spitting in the mouth story 😂😂😂
I ALMOST laughed a Tylenol I was trying to swallow, THROUGH my NOSE during the story about meeting the guy on the street, him spitting in your face, you slapping him and then him crying!!

Had to stop
Had to stop listening to you guys after years and years because of the constant political comments. This is a pod to recap reality tv, not political commentary.

Reunion
You 2 should be hosting the reunions

Give Ben his flowers
These men are the best podcasters out there, but as a black woman, really want to shout out Ben for always advocating for the black women and the racial dynamics of these shows!!
Lizza Thorn Berry
the voices
i really like their takes but sometimes the entire episode is just word for the word quoting the show in stupid voices. like does it have to be the whole episode??

My fave duo
I listen to them even if I won’t watch them all the shows they cover. They make my day brighter

Ben and Ronnie are the best!
When I watching my bravo shows, there are so many moments when I think, “I cannot wait to hear what Ben and Ronnie have to say about this!” They are so funny and brighten up my day. Watching these shows wouldn’t be the same without them.

Love, Love, Love This Podcast!
I found this podcast back in 2016 and I’m so happy for Ronnie and Ben’s success - much deserved ❤️

Hi Ben..! Hi Ronnie..!
I need to add that I'm obsessed with and love the takes Ronnie and Ben have on every show. They get it right on every level of people on bravo playing the victim, being an incel f boy, liars, users, cheaters, etc.
I just thoroughly enjoy the dialogue and opinions in regard to what bravo gives us and how to sort through all the stuff.
Not to mention, every single impression is SPOT ON. I cry laughing and, I just have to thank these two amazing humans who provide so much entertainment.
Ben and Ronnie are ‘mother’ ‘icons’ and ‘the number 1 guys in the group’ I can’t get enough of them. I have the ending memorized where they shout out their premium sponsors. I hope to be a PS one day when I’m not so poor;)

Opposites Attract
Love Ben and Ronnie! WWC is my comfort listen during postpartum. I love how they’re not afraid to debate and disagree- it’s so refreshing!

Read Lea’s emails to JE
They need to delete the Lea Black content. Search her name in the files. She is disgusting.
Nohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I can’t
Is their whole thing to just recap episodes word for word with stupid voices??
LaurHen1989
Yikes
Great podcast but the ‘robot’ voice one of them actually makes me cringe 😖 Would have been 5 stars if it wasn’t for that awful voice….. idk if this is normal for them?? Won’t be watching again
Moooooooeeeeeeeeeeee
Fantastic!
I’ve always loved your show, but these recent Ladies of London episodes are treasures!

Biased
Do you have a deep rooted hatred of white woman? If so, you will love listening to this podcast.
One example of thousands: They spend an entire recap eviscerating white woman on their pronunciation of words but entirely ignore the fact that the black cast member runs a cult and steals money. It’s sick.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I anxiously wait every week for new episodes to pop up in my feed! Ben & Ronnie get me through my commute to & from work & everything in between.
Absolutely love every single thing about these two amazing humans. ♥️

Listening to the McBee recaps and wow I have not laughed harder!!!! The impersonations are TOO good!!!! Ronnie and Ben are the best!

Perfect Fish & Date Noits
Ben and Ronnie have perfected the art of the recap podcast by making it completely original, totally unhinged, and full of truly hysterical impersonations and references to 80’s and 90’s iconic women. It’s off the rails in the very best way, and the warmth from their friendship radiates through it all! I’ve been listening for over a DECADE. This podcast is one of my most stable relationships.
Also, whoever left less than five stars “Goodbye, Kyle”!

Ben and Ronnie are so funny. I am so happy to have found their podcast. They are my mental health escape when I’ve had a hard day.

Thanks for always bringing a smile and laugh to the recap- even when you’re crazy ranting.

Lovin this podcast was not on my bingo card
I’ve listened to this podcast on and off over the years, and honestly, it never really stuck at first. I used to think it was just a couple of guys doing reality TV impressions, and it didn’t quite click for me back then. But recently, I heard them on TwoTs & a Pod, and they were so funny and engaging that I decided to give them another shot.
Now I totally get it.
Their impressions are hilarious — the way they exaggerate accents and personalities is spot-on and ridiculously funny. On top of that, their commentary on what’s actually happening in the shows adds another layer that makes everything even better—and when they disagree.
I don’t watch every show they cover, but for the ones I do, I get genuinely excited when I see new pods drop, especially when there’s a Part 1 and Part 2. They crack me up every time. Definitely a fan now. Thx for the laughs
