**Ben Mandelker** (0:21)
Hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to watch. I'm Ben Mandelker.
Joining me today on this fair episode is the one and only, the lovely, the glorious, the beautiful Ronnie Karam. Hi Ronnie, how are you?

**Ronnie Karam** (0:41)
Hi, how are you?

**Ben Mandelker** (0:44)
I'm doing just great.

**Ronnie Karam** (0:46)
Connor.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:47)
Doing just great. I'm so glad that you made that little Sheena voice. Before we dive into our Valley recap, I'm sure it'll be a doozy, but you, Ronnie, are going up to San Francisco in about a week and a half to go on a cruise with Hanna, our lovely and wonderful Hanna Ferrier, and Daisy from Below Deck. And is there anyone else that's going to be on that? It's just the two of them, right?

**Ronnie Karam** (1:15)
Yeah, the two of them. I'm going to interview them, do a little panel with them on a dinner cruise for City Cruises, August 23rd in San Francisco. You can get ticket links at their links and bios. Whether Daisy Kelleher or Anna Ferry or M'Kai. It's going to be so fun. It's like a dinner cruise. Fabulous.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:32)
We cruise around, we laugh, we spill some tea, it's a good thing.

**Ronnie Karam** (1:39)
Yeah. And you're going to do a thing as well. You're doing a panel the same day. It's a double panel day.

**Ben Mandelker** (1:45)
A double panel day, while Ronnie's up in the Bay Area on a boat. I will be here in LA at the Esteemed Friends and Family Bakery, well, coffee shop bakery, et cetera, because I'm going to be in conversation with Martin Sorge, who has a new cookbook out called Great Bakes. And so the wonderful, wonderful, amazing cookbook shop Now Serving here in Los Angeles, it's called, the shop's called Now Serving, puts on these talks where they will invite a cookbook author and then someone to kind of interview them. And so I was selected, I was invited to do this, and I'm so excited. So come join us at Friends and Family the same night, Sunday, August 23rd to 5 p.m. and go to Now Serving's Instagram, Now Serving, I forget their handle, but just look up Now Serving and you can get your tickets for that. So really excited about that. And also, thank you to the one and only esteemed Madeleine Brand for having me on her show.
Press play with Madeleine Brand on NPR. It finally happened.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:53)
Broke through into NPR. Watch What Crappens made it onto NPR, everyone.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:58)
I have it.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:59)
And that's the half that belongs on NPR.
Well, for me, it's like, no, please, Ronnie. No, no, no, no, no, no, please, Ronnie.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:10)
No, no, no.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:13)
And anytime you're out of pocket, I'll be like, NPR, NPR.
But yeah, no, local radio station KCRW here in LA has a show about the entertainment industry called Press Play. And so I was on there to talk about the Real Housewives. So you can actually listen to that interview by going to kcrw.com. So that's all the fun stuff. And of course our Patreon, patreon.com/watch what crappens. But yeah, so cool things to either listen to or go to for all of you guys.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:46)
Well, there you go. OK, let's get into it. It's The Valley Season 3 Episode 20, Reunion Part 2
To celebrate Reunion Part 2 of The Valley, I'm wearing a rayon shirt. So there you go. Decided to kind of match the cast today as much as possible. And let me just say it hurts.

**Ben Mandelker** (4:06)
OK, that's fair. Here wait to celebrate Episode 2 of The Valley. Let me try to make myself more in Danny's likeness. Let me just adjust this camera.
And OK, now celebrating Danny.

**Ronnie Karam** (4:23)
That's so weird.

**Ben Mandelker** (4:24)
Celebrating Danny on The Valley.

**Ronnie Karam** (4:27)
Sorry, he has been bullied and he has cried. How dare you?

**Ben Mandelker** (4:31)
It's not as... Sorry, for those of you who are very listening, this is a visual moment that's happening.

**SPEAKER_7** (4:39)
How dare you make fun of my height?

**Ben Mandelker** (4:41)
I love all my short teeth out there. I know, I actually love my short teeth. It's just, I think with Danny, it's, he's so frustrating that I resort to doing the most immature thing, which is just to hit him where it hurts, because that's my only recourse. And it's not, I'm not proud of it. I'm not proud of that, and I think that I try not to make fun of people's physical appearances. Well, it does hurt.
