**Ben Mandelker** (0:21)
Hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo we just love to talk about.
Today, we are talking about The Real Housewives of Orange County. I'm Ben Mandelker, and joining me today on a very special reconnaissance mission going into the heart of this show, it's the one and only Ronnie Karam, broadcasting remotely from where?

**Ronnie Karam** (0:46)
Orange County.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:47)
Orange County.

**Ronnie Karam** (0:49)
Orange County.

**Ronnie Karam** (0:51)
I'm in, I was thinking, I was like, do I call it Anaheim or Orange County? I'm at Disneyland.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:59)
I was going to say, you're in Orange County, you're in the heart of Orange County. How's it going down there?

**Ronnie Karam** (1:05)
Like good. I went last night to the beach with my family and looked at all the people passing by. It's just like the beginning of one of these shows.

**Ben Mandelker** (1:14)
Oh, beautiful. Well, do let us know if you happen to see Jen Pedranti walking by or Tamra.

**Ronnie Karam** (1:23)
I saw a lot of Jen Pedrantis.

**Ben Mandelker** (1:25)
Yeah. I saw a lot of them.

**Ronnie Karam** (1:27)
I saw about 30 Jen Pedrantis. It's funny how when you're here, you're like, is that Jen Pedranti? Is that Jen Pedranti? Is that Carmela? Is that Carmela? Because there's a lot of similar. I think everybody's just so in shape and done up.
They're all in their little skin suits walking on the beach. They're bright pink skin suits.
And it really is like the opening of Orange County. People playing volleyball, skateboarding, skateboarding by. A lot of people doing physical activities. They're skin tight. Clothes, it's very, I'm glad they're comfortable.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:03)
Yes, I'm glad they're comfortable as they walk along the beach with my husband, all those sluts.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:12)
Anyway. I steal my husband. A lot of dogs and strollers, you know?

**Ben Mandelker** (2:18)
Okay.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:18)
This is one thing I really like where they're like, we're rich and my dog's not gonna walk.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:25)
Well, in about a week and change, Ronnie and I are both doing two separate speaking engagements. So you should come see us if you're in either of the respective cities. Ronnie's gonna be up in the Bay Area doing a cruise with Daisy and Hannah from Below Deck. So go join that. You can get the tickets for that on Daisy and Hannah's Instagram pages with their link in bio. I'm gonna be here in LA. And this, by the way, the same night, August 23rd, I'm gonna be in LA in conversation with Martin Sorge, who is the author of Great Bakes, a cookbook. And that's gonna be at Friends and Family in Hollywood.
And tickets for that are, go to the now serving website for the cookbook shop in Los Angeles. Both events will be great. So you need to have like a Bravo moment, a Below Deck Bravo moment with Ronnie and the Steves, or you can have a baking moment with me and Martin. And Martin won one of the Great American Baking shows, which is really cool. So come join us for that. I think it'll be really cool.
And then we also have our Patreon, patreon.com/watch What Crappens, and we did a trailer trash of the new Real Housewives of Salt Lake City trailer this week. So if you want to see us break it all down, check that out on Patreon. So that's all the good stuff. Now let's get into what, let's see. It's an episode in Vegas. They go to a restaurant called Carmella. So is this Next Gen New York City? Oh no, it's Orange County.
We're having our second episode in two days that takes place in Vegas at the exact same restaurant. So Bravo's been doing this a lot. Like we've had like a series of Halloween episodes all of a sudden, and now we're literally having episodes. We had McBee Dynasty in Vegas last week. Now we have two shows in Vegas this week. I think it's time to, you know, let's mix up some of the options, storytelling options here, right? Yeah.

**Ronnie Karam** (4:24)
It's pretty good though, because this is a classic Shannon episode where Shannon is just starting to lose it because, I am near an electromagnetic.
I can hear it. It's coming through my bones. It's coming through my teeth. By the way, I am in a hotel and I'm right by the ice machine and the air conditioner here, and it blows like this. So, if my sound is a little weird today, that's why. But it's coming through my ear. Trumps, it's getting my brain.
