Hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast about all the crap on Bravo that we just love, truly, truly love to talk about. I'm Ben Mandelker, and joining me today is the one, the only, the lovely, the warm, the sweet, Ronnie Karam. Hi Ronnie, how's it going?

**Ronnie Karam** (0:39)
How are you, little sweet tart?

**Ben Mandelker** (0:42)
Oh, thanks. You say it's storming over there in Texas?

**Ronnie Karam** (0:45)
It is storming like crazy. Yeah, it's pounding down out here, there was flash flood warnings, and I had to go run errands in that rain, and actually, you know, it wasn't so bad. Yeah.
I didn't mind getting wet. It felt kind of good. That was a twist. I know, I was outside, it was pouring on my head, I couldn't find parking. I was like, why are people still out? Because, man, Texas is a little storm, and people still live their lives, you know? I had to go out there, and I was like, why do people do this? But then I smelled it, and I felt it, and I just felt so alive. But I'm not out of the house much. So I was like, yes, I'm wet, everybody. Where's my award? I came out in the rain.

**Ben Mandelker** (1:25)
You're like, y'all say it wasn't so bad out there, although I was surprised they demolished that Starbucks. It's like, it wasn't demolished, it was swept away in the rain. But it was pretty cool out here.

**Ronnie Karam** (1:34)
Yeah, it is one of those things where you worry about it, because that is a real worry. I mean, I'm not really worried about it, because I don't worry about anything until it happens, that kind of guy, but it could happen.

**Ben Mandelker** (1:50)
You know what I worry about? I worry about people not going to our Patreon, patreon.com/watch what crappens, where you can get access to bonus episodes. This week, we talked about Big Brother and Love Island and other TV shows and what we did on our break. You can also get access to ad-free listening, a newsletter that's wonderful, a Discord community that's wonderful. You just get so much. You get so much on Patreon. But I also worry that that tallow may not be enough to save the McBee family farm. And that is the concern for today's episode. Previously on the McBee's, Cole and Kacie and the Not Sunshine Band got married, got engaged. And Allie and the other guy, who, what's his face? McBee, Jesse.
They, it turns out their relationship's in the shitter.
And that's, you know, that man is a real bitch over there.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:50)
That man is a real asshole too. We talked about this episode a bit on Crappy Hour this week. And I'm gonna have to repeat this part for people who don't listen to that. Last week, Jesse and Allie go to dinner because they're trying to like rekindle or whatever. And you know, he picks this restaurant, go to some fancy restaurant, and she's like, whoa, I mean, are we gonna share? Because I mean, it's pretty expensive. And he goes, you've been working a lot with his mean glint in his eye and his little smile that never goes away.
And then the waiter comes over and he orders the filet experience. I lost my shit at the TV. I really liked Jesse. I really liked him. I, and now to see him with that mean glint and that stupid smile still on his face, I'm like, oh, how did I fall for that? Like, just one little glint of the eye and then like wanting to go order the most expensive thing and then make your wife pay for it.
What an asshole. I can't believe that's what pushed me over. I was just so surprised to see it from Jesse. Were you? Or is it just me?

**Ben Mandelker** (3:54)
You watched the show, right? You've seen these guys and their father. Like, I mean, I'm just like, okay, I can't believe this hot cowboy guy who's now starting to lose his looks a little bit is now not being so nice when everyone else in his family is an asshole. Like, I'm like, okay, you got married in an octagon. Congratulations.

**Ronnie Karam** (4:14)
Yeah, but I mean, I just didn't think it was evil. I thought he was like the nice one and the cute, sweet one, and he's like an ass. I got so pissed.

**Ben Mandelker** (4:25)
I'm sorry.

**Ronnie Karam** (4:26)
And also he's famous now, so that's not helping when you get all those DMs and it's like, oh, why am I staying here? I have all these options.
