**Ronnie Karam** (0:21)
Well, hello, and welcome to Watch What Crappens! I'm Ronnie, that's Ben over there.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:27)
Hi, Ronnie. How are you?

**Ronnie Karam** (0:29)
What's it doing?

**Ben Mandelker** (0:30)
Good.

**Ronnie Karam** (0:31)
What's going on with you today?

**Ben Mandelker** (0:33)
You know, it's been a long week of podcasting, and we are reaching the end of it. We just have Next Gen New York City in Orange County, and then put up the feet for some R&R. So I'm just, I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and I'm excited. But I also like, the darkness in the back of the tunnel is also really great, because this is really fun stuff to do. But still, it's like, it's almost Friday. I feel it in my bones.
No more podcast.

**Ronnie Karam** (0:58)
Yeah. What are you doing this weekend? Anything good?

**Ben Mandelker** (1:02)
I think I'm going to try to sew. I haven't sewn in so long, so I'm going to try to like dedicate some time to sew.
I'm going to make a cake this afternoon. I'm really excited. I basically, I'm just like ready to luxuriate. What about you?

**Ronnie Karam** (1:16)
Yes. My friends invited me to a rave, and I was like, you're still inviting me to raves, huh?

**Ben Mandelker** (1:23)
So, I don't know, throwback to 25 years ago.

**Ronnie Karam** (1:27)
Well, I don't know. I call it a rave. It's like a big gay dance party. But to me, I just still call it a rave, but it's like some something downtown on Saturday. But girl, I don't know because these days 10 o'clock comes around, and I'm one of those who embraces being old in a way. Obviously, I just got plastic surgery, but I embrace it mostly. I really do like to just go to bed at 10, get up as the sun rises. So I don't know that I can do a rave thing, especially without drugs, because back in the day, you would stay up all night because you were on drugs.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:09)
I just feel like I'm not going to take my 47-year-old self to a rave.
I'm sorry. I'm just not going to do that.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:22)
I still go to them sometimes with them. I always have a good time, but we'll see. When is the cutoff point where I say this is enough? I don't know that I've reached it yet, but we'll see this weekend. But today is Next Gen NYC Season 2, Episode 5, Brooklyn Horror Story. If you want this on video, patreon.com, that's where you get all our videos. Just search Watch What Crappens on there. You get bonus episodes. This week was personal stories, stuff we've got going on in our lives.
And that's also where you get our free newsletter. It's like a weekly blog where I make fun of these shows in writing and also what else is over there? A Discord server where you guys can talk to each other. Amazon Live is Monday at 1:30 p.m. We do those every Monday. This is Pacific time. And then Monday at 5:30 p.m. we do Crappy Hour, which is our live show talking with you guys about all the Bravo head minds. Find links to all of that over at our Instagram, Lincoln Boyo.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:22)
Yeah, this is going to be a big Crappy Hour this week.
We got a lot of Bravo goss coming out. A lot of stuff happening over in Salt Lake City. That's for sure.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:32)
A lot of breakups.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:34)
A lot of breakups.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:34)
Stuff happening in Salt Lake City. So here we go, Next Gen NYC.
So I guess Riley has just left Ariana's, where she had a conversation with Ariana about last week. Man, people really got upset with all the Riley stuff, huh?

**Ben Mandelker** (3:52)
Yeah, people were really upset. In fact, people were actually even a little upset at us for actually kind of giving her some grace. People were like, she's a drunk asshole. Like you don't have to talk about like her hard upbringing. She was just a drunk asshole. And let me tell you something, I agree. She was being a drunk asshole, but I think we were talking about like, I think we just started digging in and that's where we got with that. Yeah, she was being a drunk asshole.
That's what it was. We've all seen those 23 year old drunk assholes and that's what she was. And Candy was not happy about it.

**Ronnie Karam** (4:24)
I don't know.

**Ben Mandelker** (4:25)
No?
