Bump and Grind

Max applauds Shawn's work, sympathizes with Julie, and recaps who got down on the dance floor.

July 8, 2010

 

Before I say anything, I need to laud Shawn Rabideau. In a mere 28 days, the guy was able to book a wedding at one of the most sought after venues in New York City with specifics that could turn an OCD person normal. He accomplished all of this, mind you, with his nuts in a vice, with a dog that bites him every time he steps foot in the house, and with a woman who is more difficult to please than a girl on the show My Super Sweet 16. Shawn deserves a medal, he deserves a hug, and he deserves a vacation because he went above and beyond what was asked of him in the most difficult of circumstances. The odds were stacked against him and he came through, simple as that. My responsibilities include running around the city to take care of Bethenny's personal needs. Shawn was responsible for organizing, to date, one of the most important nights of Bethenny and Jason's life.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for Julie while she held Bethenny's pee bucket. I'm usually the one stuck in those kinds of situations! I'm glad my assistant powers weren't needed at that time.

After the night was over, I told Jason it was the best frat party I've ever attended. Jason's friends were animals! It was as if each of his friends had a specific role on the dance floor. One guy did all kinds of high kicks, one guy did the worm, one guy break danced, and one all-star jumped into the pool, as you saw. Only at a Frankel/Hoppy wedding! But on a serious note, Jason has an amazing circle of friends and family, and they all have tons of love for each other. I hung out with them until 4:30 in the morning, dancing and drinking at a nearby bar. They’re a blast. Total bros.

And for those of you who were wondering... I grinded my ass off! I grinded with Stacey (Bethenny’s hot blond hair stylist), Sonia (the make-up artist), Ramona and Alex - hell, I think I even grinded with Simon.

It’s so lucky for me to find your!

Just what I needed, thanks a lot.

Hi Max, Congrats on your position with Bethanny & household.

Unlike most of the other commentors, I'm not a huge fan of you yet, but I hope you will be able to change that opinion. My choice of an assistant for Bethanny would have been one of the gay guys she interviewed -- the one who seemed to know a lot more about the city and where to find great things, and had a more outgoing personality. Having a gay assistant would have been a huge asset to Bethanny & Jason's and would have fit better into their wild and crazy life.

Watching the episodes so far, it appears you have a LOT to learn about organizing and taking care of things for busy Bethanny. You don't seem to be trying very hard to please, and rolling your eyes when she asks you to do something is getting pretty old.

But, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and hope you can pull through! Beth needs somebody with a lot more incentive than you are showing right now, so step it up. Best of luck!

I saw you dancing with Ramona! You're great, Max. Keep up the great work because of Beth's Bryn, you might be the babysitter too!

Max,

You are so fricking cute I can't stand it. I love watching you on the show.

Max, we didn't see you in the wedding episode. After reading the above, I know you were there. You weren't on duty, but still, we didn't see you. Are you still with her in business?

I love you Max you are wayy too cute and funny. Glad you were added on the show and very happy your grinding services were a success! :-)

Max..you're great..so much fun and I'll bet it's mostly a fun job working for Bethanny. You're a good match with her and Julie. Best of luck, and you'll do fine..you've got the same quick wit as Bethanny, and we know what that means...SMART!

LOVE, LOVE, love this show. You guys are all fabulous, funny, poignant, real, and it's fascinating to watch without becoming extremely catty like the Real Housewives shows. Max, don't self-edit. The comments you make are totally natural for a guy your age. You don't want to become boring.

Great to hear Max's details and how wonderful and fun Jason's friends are. I laughed out loud remembering those guys dancing at the reception; one at a time.

Class all the way. Kathy in La.

I'll bet you did grind with Simon...and I'll bet the both of you were good!!!

did you get any digits at the wedding?? ;)

Picking panties out of a drawer is one thing, pulling the drawers down while the bride pees in a bucket is entirely different ...glad you weren't on the recieving end of that one....

Shawn and Julie handled that one well:)

I'm just glad her water didn't break in that bucket. Could you imagine what the show would have been called then?

Keep doin' what you're doing. Love seeing you, even though we didn't see you in this episode..we knew you were there somewhere:) Keep Grinding!!

Looked like lots of fun.
