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

**Ronnie Karam** (0:24)
I'm Ronnie, that's Ben over there. Hello, little Ben.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:29)
Hi, birthday boy.

**Ronnie Karam** (0:33)
Happy birthday. How are you? Another one who came around. Thank you, Ben.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:40)
Happy birthday, Ronnie.

**Ronnie Karam** (0:43)
Yeah, and I got to see Hannah, just like the people on the show. What about that? Look at that.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:48)
It's all together.

**Ronnie Karam** (0:50)
Thank you. Yeah, they just keep on coming, those days of birth, fuck.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:56)
They do. And it is an honor to be in this seat across from you virtually every year to celebrate your birthday and just to be here on the show with you. And so I hope you have the best day ever today.

**Ronnie Karam** (1:10)
Thank you, honey.

**Ben Mandelker** (1:11)
Well, could I have a better day?

**Ronnie Karam** (1:12)
I'm just hanging out with you, talking shit.

**Ben Mandelker** (1:16)
Well, I certainly hope you have a better day than your fellow birthday, birthday celebrators today, which include the ghost of Sean Connery, the ghost of Regis Philbin, by the way, Tom Skerritt. You know, did we ever, you know, for all the talk of Kathy Baker, did we ever realize that you share a birthday with Tom Skerritt?

**Ronnie Karam** (1:37)
No, the only person I know that I share a birthday with is Leonard Bernstein.

**Ben Mandelker** (1:42)
You don't know about the rest of these people that you share a birthday with? Cause let me tell you something, you have some great celebrities. You've got Billy Ray Cyrus.
You've got Tim Burton. You've got Gene Simmons in Elvis Costello. Fine. You have Joanne Wally. We love a character actress.
You have Rachel Ray, which I think is notable.
You also have Cameron Matheson. You have Claudia Schiffer. So you have a supermodel. You guys have qualified to eat in Bethany's restaurant. You also have 90s icon, Kel Mitchell. And this, I think, is a very important thing. I don't believe, not that I don't believe, I don't follow numerology or astrology or things rising in the East or what else, or something rising or whatever. What I do follow are pop culture coincidences. And you share a birthday with two different prestigious members of the Josh Schwartz universe, which of course includes, and really only includes, the OC and Gossip Girl. You share a birthday with Rachel Billson and Blake Lively.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:54)
Oh yeah, I've got a Blake Lively. Blake Lively is the real one. I just saw that too.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:58)
Yeah, that's the real, that's the real exciting one. Like you and Blake, basically soul sisters, sitting there on the steps of the Met.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:06)
Basically the same. Alexander Sarsgaard.
I mean, I'm really hooking up today. You know, Leonard Bernstein isn't even showing up on this list, I'm gonna see. Leonard Bernstein.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:17)
What's sort of fun about getting older is that the older you get, the more celebrities wind up on your birthday, just by law of averages.
Because when I started the birthday game, it was like Jeff Bridges and that was it. Jeff Bridges and Wink Martindale. And now I've ascended to Jay-Z, I've got Tyra Banks, you know, it's like people start becoming famous. There are also just younger people around. It's very exciting. So you've really collected a nice group here of celebrities for your birthday.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:45)
Yeah, I'm hooking it up.
So awesome. Rachel Ray, Blake Lively. Thanks Blake.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:49)
Thanks for being here.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:51)
Well, if you want this video recap, you can get that on Patreon. That's also where you get our bonus episodes, ad-free listening, access to our Discord server, and a weekly newsletter, which basically just talks shit and writing about all of these shows. So check all of that. That's free, by the way. You can just sign up for Patreon for free for that thing.
And today it's Below Deck Mediterranean. Now, since we last were with Below Deck, we found out that Nathan has been arrested. He was arrested two days after Christmas last year after choking somebody. It doesn't say who it is, but we pretty much figure it's Gayle because she filed the equivalent of a restraining order against him. And he goes to court in September. What a piece of shit. Oh my God.

**Ben Mandelker** (4:40)
Total piece of shit. What a huge, huge, huge piece of shit. How awful, how vile, how disgusting.
I hope we never have to hear from him ever again after this.
