Watch What Crappens Hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo we just love to watch. I'm Ben Mandelker, and joining me is the beautiful and handsome Ronnie Karam. How are you?

**Ronnie Karam** (0:34)
Hi, what's up with you, baby?

**Ben Mandelker** (0:37)
Not much. We, guys, everyone, I know people say that Orange County is not having the most exciting season, but we are here to make this more exciting for you all because we have, as promised, news about our upcoming tour, okay?
We have some news about the cities and the dates. We do not have a tickets on sale date just yet, but since it's going to be coming up relatively soon, we want you all to start reserving some time in your calendar to come see us, and we will come see you.

How excited are you, Ronnie?

**Ronnie Karam** (3:11)
I'm excited. Yeah, it's a lot of a lot of shows.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:14)
I know it's a lot. As I was reading it, I kept on looting my voice up like I'm the grand finale. I was like, no, we got more. It's so exciting.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:24)
You're reading it like you hadn't seen it before, which I really loved. Like, whoa, Charleston.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:33)
I was acting like, but I kind of was, there's something about like reading it out loud where you sort of realize the like, wow, we're going back to Charleston. That's crazy. Like, you know, like, you know, we knew, now we know.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:45)
Yeah, you're right. I mean, hearing you read it out loud, I definitely thought about halfway through that. Oh shit.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:52)
Shit.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:53)
We agree to all this. I'm tired.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:56)
I know. Every year we're like, next year we're just going to do 12 cities.
Now here we are, 21 cities or so again.

**Ronnie Karam** (4:05)
It's going to be so much fun. We love it. And you know, we're as disastrous as possible. So we're making sure to do a lot of this in the winter. So, you know, we, you know how we roll.

**Ben Mandelker** (4:17)
We're like, we like to travel during bomb cyclones. So we do.

**Ronnie Karam** (4:23)
And we love cuddling up in the theater with people when it's freezing outside. I mean, there is something so there is, it's not our first time that we've done that. And we always have such a good time just kind of cuddling and bitching about stuff.
But my day is good.

**Ben Mandelker** (4:37)
I was going to say my hot take is I think actually now, nowadays summer travel is more obscure than winter travel. With the increase of severe thunderstorms, I think there's more cancellations and delays in the summer now. That's my hot take, everyone.

**Ronnie Karam** (4:51)
So well, there's a lot of delays, period now, because the way everything is being run is absolutely off the rails. So you'll land and then the plane will be like, oh, just sit there for a couple of hours. We're just waiting. We don't have any employees to come to the gate because we fired everybody. So hold on. Don't worry. The guy who's delivering the donuts will be coming to the gate very soon, once he's done unloading all of the luggage and letting the dogs out to pee that have been in the cargo hold and cleaning the commissary.
