Well, hello everybody, and welcome to Watch What Crappens. I'm Ronnie, that's Ben over there. Hello, Ben.
**Ben Mandelker** (0:29)
Hi, how are you?
**Ronnie Karam** (0:32)
Good, how are you?
**Ben Mandelker** (0:34)
I'm doing great. I'm feeling great. I'm looking a little extra orange today.
I think my lighting is a little off, so I sort of have this beautiful orange glow about myself. The good kind of orange glow.
**Ronnie Karam** (0:44)
Well, I think it's your normal color, but I'm back in Texas, and my lighting is very white here. So we're, you know, I think I'm throwing you off.
So welcome, everybody. Welcome to the show. I'm back in Texas.
Everything's great. Took a plane ride for three hours and 20 minutes or so from LA, and there was a missionary sitting behind me, and there was a lady sitting next to him named Drusilla who had to listen to his ass. This man, Drusilla, wherever you are, I'm so sorry for what you just went through because that was not easy. This man did not shut up. Listen, we all know who Christ is at this point, and your sales pitch is great. Jesus is love, and I give that to you. I'm not even dissing the Christians out there. Stop selling it so hard. You don't need to sell it that hard. Three hours and 15 minutes? Geez, even Jesus was like, I didn't even do this. Even I took a bathroom break, for Christ's sake.
**Ben Mandelker** (1:42)
I feel bad for Drusilla. If you're out there, Drusilla, or if anyone knows Drusilla, just tell her you have our sympathies. And we also would, I would love to meet Drusilla. I love that name.
I'm assuming her father's name is Andrew, and her mother's name is Priscilla. Drusilla, I love it. Drusilla. She's an icon.
**Ronnie Karam** (2:00)
Drusilla had to just take it. And at one point I looked past her, I looked not past her, but I looked between the seats, like behind me between the seats, and I just blinked really hard. And then she looked at me and like, I was fucking crazy. I'm like, this is blink if you need help, Drusilla. Okay, I'm here.
**SPEAKER_3** (2:15)
Drusilla may have liked it.
**Ronnie Karam** (2:18)
Drusilla was like, I've got a missionary beside me. And then I've got some weirdo looking between the seats, like blinking at me for some reason. What the hell is going on on this plane?
**Ben Mandelker** (2:27)
Do you know what are my favorite things to do on an airplane is a slow look behind me. When someone's like kicking too hard or coughing too much or making too much noise or speaking loudly, they've got their headphones on. I love these slow turnaround, like what's happening back there?
**Ronnie Karam** (2:43)
I know that Ben looked very well.
**Ben Mandelker** (2:45)
Oh yeah, Ronnie has flown with me many times. But then what happens is I'm such a coward about it because then they give me a nasty look, like what are you looking at? And I'm like, sorry, nothing.
**SPEAKER_3** (2:52)
I was just like looking at, saw something back in the back of the plane.
**Ben Mandelker** (2:54)
I look back, I release my position very quickly, but like I need to do the initial term to know that I've done something. And then I can go back to being normal. I need to know that for a moment that person thought that they may be disrupting other people. And then I'm fine.
But man, I love the slobe. Yeah, they get it.
**Ronnie Karam** (3:13)
They get it. No, actually, they don't. And you're smart for not giving them an argument. I think they get it when they give you a dirty look, like you want to fucking fight, and you don't. You're like, no, I gave you my passive aggressive look, and that's all you're getting from me. Because otherwise, we're going to whip out the phone and do whatever else. You know, like, oh, he's hurting me, you know, by telling somebody to shut the fuck up.
**Ben Mandelker** (3:34)
You know what, can I just say, since we have a lot, we have a very nice-sized community here at Watch What Crappens, the people who listen to the show and who support us, who come to our shows, who always have our back on the internet and wherever. If a day comes where my little head turn on an airplane does lead to one of those airplane videos, can you all promise to have my back on it with the internet?
Because you guys know I will be right, okay?
