#3447 RHOA S17E14 Part One: Saucy Tartan

**Ronnie Karam** (0:21)
Well, hello, and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast for all the crap we love to talk about on Ye Olde Bruvs. I'm Ronnie, that's Benjamin over there. Hello, Ben.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:32)
Hi, Ronnie, welcome back to your podcast.

**Ronnie Karam** (0:34)
Oh, thanks. How are you? Welcome back to yours. We had a week off. I had a week and an extra day, which was glorious. How did it go for you?

**Ben Mandelker** (0:44)
Oh, it was so fun. Of course, on that one day, we missed you, but we had the wonderful Ray Sonney and Eric Williams fill in. And I love those two so much, and they were so great. And I just want to give a big thanks to them for subbing in. And also a big thanks to the audience for being patient with us while we took a one-week break, because we know there's a lot of good stuff on Bravo that was worth talking about. And we know it's hard when podcasters go away for a second. And so thank you so much for giving us that time because it really helps us get refreshed and just like have... it's just nice. And now I feel like ready to dive into the second year of Bravo, second half of the year for Bravo.
How was your time off?

**Ronnie Karam** (1:29)
Literally and figuratively. It was great. I mean, I was out of it because I got a waddle job on my neck. So I'm still bruised. So I hope nobody's triggered by bruising because I do look like I've been strangled. I went to the grocery store the other day and they were much worse. They were all the way down my neck and my face was still all swollen. And I was walking through there just with sunglasses looking for whatever. People were just looking at me and then looking the other way and crossing the aisles, you know.
There was a certain kind of power in it, I have to say.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:02)
It's like he got into a fight. He survived a fight with a mob carry.
Yeah, because it looks like you were going to have been strangled but also attacked by a wild animal.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:12)
Yes, it really did. I looked crazy and I had a lego face because my whole bottom half was swollen out to here and I looked, what did he did? Did he change my face? What's happened? But no, I still have the same old face but less waddle. Anyway, that was fun and it gave me an excuse to be in bed, watching endless hours of TV, which I'm always great for me or not.
It's weird how I do that anyway in real life, but then when you have to do it, it's like why?
Then the endless thoughts, like listening to my own thoughts, really not having you to come talk to every day is crazy whenever we have time off. It really is. Who do I tell this to? Like I'm watching McBee, I'm screaming at the TV, and I'm like, I need to tell somebody this, and no one in my real life is watching McBee.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:01)
I was actually so happy because two weeks ago, I watched the wrong episode of the McBee Dynasty. I watched the wrong screeners, then we couldn't actually do the recap of it because we sat down to recap it, and I hadn't actually watched. I hadn't watched episode three, I had watched episode four, so we just canceled it for the whole week. But it also meant that on our week off, I didn't have to watch the McBee Dynasty because I'd already watched it. Honestly, what a dud of an episode that was, this whole engagement, so boring.
But then again, I'm also someone who sat through, like many millions of us, the two-hour finale of Love Island last night where nothing happened until the last 10 minutes of that show.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:40)
The McBee thing, seeing Jesse, who I've always just assumed was this nice, sweet guy. Well, we'll talk about it when we get to McBee.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:47)
What an asshole.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:48)
What a pack of assholes those guys are.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:50)
Yeah, we've been away from each other for a week, so now we're like, everything.
But what I will say is Atlanta, we're talking about Real Housewives of Atlanta today, and it was, wow, what an episode. Also, patreon.com.

**Ronnie Karam** (4:04)
Sorry I didn't do that for Atlanta. I did that because I tried to turn on the fan and the fan didn't turn on, but the light turned on. And I was like, why do I have a shining spot on my head? Because I'm an idiot. Sorry, Ben.
