So glad you're feeling better, Ben! Can't wait to hear your thoughts about The Bear...I've heard good things elsewhere and wondered if I should watch.

Who’s Six? 😂

Chastity Davis

I didn't watch forst Gump until I caught it on tv one afternoon because I had been so turned off by the hype. Also, the bear was aiight. Ben you are absolutely right people shit on and judge bravo fans. It's why everyone gets so nuts at live shows. It's a literal safe place. Also, Ronnie tell that guy at your moms house I said to fuck off.

I thought maybe a crossover with Six LeMeurre (sp?) from Blossom.

GQDrummond

Who the heck is Six?! Lol

Also, I am watching Downton Abbey for the first time 😬 and I love it!

I’m watching College Hill Celebrity Edition with Nene, Lamar Odom, Ray J, Slim Thug, Miss Freedia, Stacy Dash, DreamDoll, ,India Love. They take them to a Historic Black University to go back to school. They are in Houston at Texas Southern University.

I LITERALLY came here to look at the comments and see if it was just me. Haha. 😂. I was like, “Maybe I missed the character “Six”????”🤔

The Bear for me came up as a drama. IDK it was good … better than I expected. But I didn’t expect it to be funny or anything. Kinda like a less gritty Kitchen Confidential…. The book not the show (had to edit to clarify —- LOL)

Jamie All Runner

Welcome back Ben! Came back hot with a rant - love it!

Emily

Hey Ronnie are you watching Better Call Saul?

Jeida Mitchell

It’s me, I’m one of those people that loved the Bear.

Holly

The Bear was awful!!! Also confused why people are so obsessed with it.

Holly

But Love on the Spectrum is ❤️❤️❤️

Jamie All Runner

Watching Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey right now

whinsk

you guys are so right on all points 🥂

Kimberly Jefferson It’s on BET Plus, I’m watching it through Amazon Prime. They tricked me and let me see the first three episodes for free, so now I’m doing a one week trial that will become a subscription because there are 3 episodes left. New episodes come out on Thursdays.

Enelda

Ben’s review actually made me want to watch The Bear, lol. I’m enjoying it so far, but I also get annoyed with people who put “prestige tv” on a pedestal while looking down on Bravo. RHOP is funnier than most comedies of the past decade.

TallulahBGood

Beloved Ben, it’s so good to hear your voice again! Ronnie did a fantastic job while you were down, but still. Thank goodness you’re back! ♥️

Diana Kohnke

I just finished Umbrella Academy which I loved, but don't hate me I was really bored by the Viktor storyline. Love you guys, thanks for making me always lmao

Meghan

Lol! Came here to make sure I wasn’t the only one! I was walking my dog listening to this and pretty sure I said out loud “ who TF is six??”

Meghan

The Bill Burr special was interesting noting that if women supported team sports of women working together to achieve a common goal was as popular as us watching women tear each other down then women’s sports would make much more money than mens sports.

Meghan

Sorry to harp on this but I think there is a big difference between female athletes and reality tv stats. Ben and Ronnie equated sorts with violence on this episode. That just isn’t the case especially with female sports. Female athletes need to make sacrifices and dedicate their lives to their nonviolent sport for very little money. They need to work from a very young age to be the best of the best. In contrast, Bravo, E!, and other reality shows make millions on portraying toxic relationships. This required zero talent or ability , just the narcissism to be on tv, that’s why it’s garbage. No one worked hard to he where they are.

Alison Batten

Also bill burr’s argument falls apart when you take into account that women are usually the primary caregiver of children, and responsible for managing the households…and if they are the breadwinners they have to work twice as hard as men to earn the same amount to support their families financially. So that burden would make it very difficult for women to attend sporting events especially in the sport of basketball where there are so many games.

Kelly Payfer

I'm watching The Bear now and I'll see it through, but I don't get it...they're a sandwich shop but they don't open until 3pm?!? Maybe they would have fewer money problems if they were open for lunch! I wish the show was about Sydney rather than the screaming bro-cousins.

Watch What Crappens

All good points. I was equating mens sports with violence (football and boxing specifically) and saying that that is fine with men but they had a problem with women arguing. I didn’t equate womens sports with violence. That said, I agree that sports takes a lot of work that Bravo cast members don’t have to put in.

Becca

LOL Ben, you give out spoilers all the time

Kirsten kirkpatrick

As a chef having working in some gritty ass kitchen and usually the only woman, I love The Bear. Also Lipp or whatever his name is in this show (can’t remember) is foine as HELLLLLL. But Ben and Ronnie can never do any wrong in my eyes and are fucking kings so I appreciate all the commentary.

Nicole Marie

Maybe you are confused with the character six on the Grey Man. Ryan G.’s character is named Six.

Tam Cotzias

By the way did anyone, who is over 50, notice that Molly Ringwald was in the first episode for 3 minutes. I kept watching to see if she showed up again thinking she would have more of a role in the series.

I love westworld, robots talking to other robots
