**Ronnie Karam** (0:21)
Well, hello, and welcome to Crappy Hour, I'm Ronnie, that's Ben over there. Hello, Benoons.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:30)
Hi Ronnie, how are you?

**Ronnie Karam** (0:32)
Good, how's everything going over there with ya?

**Ben Mandelker** (0:37)
You know, it's Monday, it's time for Crappy Hour.
I'm excited to talk about the various things we'll talk about. I'm excited for what the World of Bravo commentary has in store for us for the next hour or so. What about you?

**Ronnie Karam** (0:57)
Same, I want to thank everybody for reaching out about my mom, people online started an ALS donation thread. You guys have been so sweet. I'm not gonna talk about it really beyond saying that, but I love you mom, and I don't wanna blub like an idiot on here, but I just wanted to say thank you. It is bizarre. It is bizarre.
It's bizarre, but also such a great thing to be able to come to Watch What Crappens every day and laugh with you even when the world is falling down, both in the real world and personal lives, to be able to come here and just laugh with you is so nice, Ben. So I love you. And thank you for being such a good friend. And thanks to everybody online for being so sweet.

**Ben Mandelker** (1:44)
Yeah, love you too.
Your mom was an icon and she was wonderful. And we obviously are all here for you and your family. And we've gotten so many messages over the years about how, like we're just sitting here blabbing about Bravo, the stupidity of this network and how it's helped a lot of people through tough times. And I think now it's time for all of us to help you through tough times. So we are here for you.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:13)
Well, this helps us through tough times, just being able to come here and laugh every day. Friday was when she passed away and I was over there. It was in the morning and I was over there in the morning, obviously, and then friends were coming in and it was, it's a whole thing. We all know what it's like when people pass. I mean, especially in my family, you're all over there.
And about three hours into it, I was like, I can go record Orange County. Like I can get out of here, right? And just go laugh about it. I texted you, I was like, I can still record. You're like, take a minute for Christ's sake. But I was like, it is great to have this option, to just come laugh and pretend everything's okay. So let's do that.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:55)
Okay. Well, the good news is that Bravo Gossip is reliably not depressing. So you should probably be in a great space. You're gonna save hands right now as you mourn.
Let's see what you've got on the list here.
You compiled a wonderful document this week of stories. I see the top here. The top item that you have here, House of Stasi, people have been asking us over and over and over again, if we're covering it, if we've watched it. I will say I have not watched it. I don't think we're planning to cover it either, even though Taylor Strecker is a friend of ours and she's a full on cast member. So the answer to that question on my end is I may try to watch it, but I've got to catch up on Big Brother and I'm two weeks behind on Big Brother. So that's my priority right now.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:47)
I will eventually watch it. I didn't watch it right away because the whole season comes out at once and I just want to be able to watch it. We've got so much to watch for this anyway that no, I have not watched it. We went to the Halloween party. Was that the season finale? I don't know because I haven't watched it.

**Ben Mandelker** (4:04)
I don't think so. No, because they've filmed until December and so we were at an event that was filmed for the show and obviously we did not make it in because no one has said anything like, oh my god, we saw you guys.

**Ronnie Karam** (4:16)
Thank god. That was one of my biggest fears is that we were going to be in that because we're obviously not on the show. We're just like extras and we went, Taylor invited us, so we went and we talked to Katie a little bit, which was crazy. Katie Maloney, who was really, really nice and has listened to the show and knows exactly who she's talking to. And she was really cool. And you just get comfortable. And then before you know it, we're just sitting there talking shit in a corner with Taylor. And I was like, oh shit, she's miked.
