Watch What Crappens Well, hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens.

**Ronnie Karam** (0:24)
I'm Ronnie, that's Ben over there. Hello, Ben.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:27)
Hi, hi Ronnie, hi America, hi the world. How's it going?

**Ronnie Karam** (0:33)
Wow.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:34)
Hi Santa Clarita.

**Ronnie Karam** (0:40)
Hello everybody, welcome to the show. Today is the Valley Day. This is why Santa Clarita is getting a shout out. So welcome to this. We're almost to the end. This is the penultimate season, penultimate to the season finale. So we've got that. If you want this on video, you can find videos of all our recaps over at patreon.com/watch what crappens as usual. It's where you get your bonus episodes, your ad free listening, and a free newsletter that comes out every week that I write. It's just like a jokey recap of all these shows. So check that out. That's free to sign up for.
Monday night at 5:30 p.m. We have Crappy Hour Live, which is where we talk to you guys on YouTube and Patreon, another free thing on Patreon.
And we simulcast it, what's wrong with me, to Instagram as well. So that's 5:30 p.m. Pacific Time on Mondays. We've also got Amazon Live on Mondays at 1:30 p.m. On Amazon Live, you can find links to all of this stuff in our link in bio on Instagram.

And a very, very happy birthday to an icon for both of us, Edie McClurg. Happy birthday, Edie McClurg.

**Ronnie Karam** (1:55)
Oh, Edie McClurg, yes. Happy birthday, Edie.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:01)
Happy birthday. Mrs. Poole, for those who don't know.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:07)
I know her really well, because we used to perform in the same hour at an improv night at IO back in the day, when that was still a thing. So I would see her. I'd be like, oh, hey. And she'd say, hello.
And I mean, it was a deep friendship, but it was always- I mean, it's pretty cool. Yeah, so happy birthday.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:26)
She's an icon. She's wonderful.
I would say she's all you could dream of.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:30)
I got you. I got bitch.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:34)
It's also Monica Lewinsky's birthday, by the way. Anyway, continue.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:39)
Happy birthday to everybody.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:41)
Everyone.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:42)
It is weird that Monica Lewinsky is born the same day as Edie McClure. Right.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:46)
I know. This has become like my new thing. Every time we come on here, I'm always like, oh, I wonder if there's a funny birthday today to announce to everyone. And it's always so funny to see who was born on the same day. Like, Edie McClure and Monica Lewinsky, right? Like, who would have ever thought Slash from Guns N Roses?
What a trio.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:08)
Yeah. You never know, you know?

**Ben Mandelker** (3:10)
You never know.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:11)
But alas, it is. So happy birthday to them. Today, it is the 17th episode birthday of The Valley Season 3 The episode is called Guilt Tripping.
So, they do do that a lot on the show. So, that's what we're... This show is basically about, why are you nice to that person?
Or why aren't you nice to that person? We all like that person. Or why are you nice to that person when we don't all like that person? You know, it's very childish.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:45)
Yeah. But this episode specifically is the episode that will always be known as the episode where Zach shits himself at Chili's.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:53)
Yeah. Some things I just don't need to see, you know? And sometimes also it's okay to take off your mic.
Like, do we need to hear you pee? When I was in Into the Woods as a teenager, I was playing Jack and I ran off to the bathroom and they forgot to turn off my mic. And you just heard me peeing and talking to one of the princes. We were peeing next to each other. We were like, ha ha ha ha. And it went over the whole...

**Ben Mandelker** (4:21)
That's like the naked gun. I didn't know that could actually happen. The whole theater.

**Ronnie Karam** (4:26)
Yeah. So, you know, I feel like sometimes it's okay to take off your mic, turn off your mic. There's a switch. No one needs to hear you shit in your pants, okay? I mean, not that we did that on purpose. We don't need to hear you pee either. And then the very next scene is Lala burping into the camera. The show is kind of trash, you know?
Clean it up, show.
