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

**Ronnie Karam** (0:24)
This is part two.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:25)
Okay, Amira is saying hi to everyone, saying hello, and she's like, she's Charlie in his vest, and she's like, well, what are you supposed to be? He's like, yeah, I just do want a bulletproof vest.
I don't have much costume-worthy clothes, you know? I wasn't gonna just buy a fucking horsesuit, so I just filled in my eyebrows a little bit to give myself a Frida Kahlo look and, you know, bulletproof vest and thought, this is my look, here I am.

**Ronnie Karam** (0:53)
And Amir was like, well, I mean, I'm a little overdressed for this. I'm wearing couture, honey, okay?
I guess I'll just pick my gown up off the floor. Oh. So Kevin, her boyfriend, says hi to Brooks, and he's like, are you supposed to be Elvis? Brooks is wearing this like Amazon sparkly jacket, which I know because I've bought that off of Amazon. And he's like, no, it's just supposed to be a Rocky Mountain Horror Chocolate shop or whatever. I love chocolate.

**Ben Mandelker** (1:27)
And then Rowan is like, everyone, this is my boyfriend, Brian.
So this is Rowan's boyfriend who is in real estate. And she's like, yeah, we met in a basement in a fraternity freshman year of college. And he's like, can I get you a drink? And I'm like, you mean from the pile of lukewarm, natty lights that I can reach for myself? And then I got myself a lukewarm beer and the rest is history. And so this guy, it's just, again, it's so funny. He looks like he's 14 years old, but he comes in with the attitude of like a Josh Altman. He's like, hey, what's going on, everyone?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:58)
What's going on?

**Ben Mandelker** (2:00)
And they're like, oh, so how long have you guys been dating? He's like, four years in about a week. Like, do you have a ring plan?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:05)
He's like, who else?

**Ronnie Karam** (2:06)
Yeah, yeah.
Meanwhile, George is talking to Gia and Ariana. And she's like, you guys, I like to draw a neck. Well, like, it really hurts. I think it's cause I gave him my boyfriend so much head.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:23)
And Rowan's like, oh my God, our friends are so crazy. Brian's gonna have to make his own assumptions. We'll talk about it on the subway ride home.
Christian did not come out tonight because he's still traumatized from the awful boys night that he was forced to go to. And so Gia just didn't even bother inviting him this time.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:42)
And then Ava comes up and she's like, yeah, so I saw that Hudson posted on his story some lyrics, just went through a breakup. She's like, oh my God, I honestly don't care. I'm happy. She's like, good. Maybe I'm almost there too. I'm so excited with my new apartment and I'm still together with Hook, but I have, I don't know, instincts that maybe are right.
Check in next week.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:12)
She's like, basically, like he was gone. He was like shooting a film. I mean, it was like a movie. It was a short film. And I haven't gotten to see him since he's been gone. And then, I don't know, I just have a gut feeling. Basically, it sounds like he came back from the shoot and she hasn't heard from him since he's been back. And she's like, something is afoot.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:33)
Well, you shouldn't date a guy named after the villain, Peter Pan. What do you think is gonna happen?

**Ben Mandelker** (3:40)
Yeah.
Now, if his name was Hook with an S, like Hooks, I'd be like, go all in. Anyone named after the late, great Jan Hooks is gonna be apprised. Oh yeah.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:51)
I thought you were like, wow, anybody named after something so useful, how else would I hang my sweater?

**Ben Mandelker** (3:57)
All of the above.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:59)
Yeah, Jan Hooks. Now, there's a classic.

**Ben Mandelker** (4:02)
So now, there's a fortune teller moment. There's a fortune teller in the corner who I believe is also the realtor in France who shows up on House Hunter is international with a beret anytime any American goes to Nice or Paris, right?

**Ronnie Karam** (4:17)
That is so accurate. I was like, who is she? Who is she? That's her, that's her. And she wears like a little matching beret to whatever her outfit is. Yes.

**Ben Mandelker** (4:29)
She also may have been in my synagogue growing up and she also may be like a third cousin of mine. Like she fits all of those categories for me. But anyone who's watched House Hunters International, or was a fan of Dwell Hello when we were doing it, anytime they did it, anytime they continue to do an episode in, especially the south of France, there's this one realtor who looks just like this fortune teller, who wears a little beret. Honestly, it could be the same person because they have the same face.
