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

**Ronnie Karam** (0:24)
This is part two of a two-part recap. If you're like, hey, wait a minute, I didn't hear part one. Guys, it's because we put out a lot of recaps. Go back and listen to part one, okay? It's before this one.
Bye, enjoy the show.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:37)
So, Kendall and Liam go back downstairs, and everyone's like, whoa. Like, Brooks is like, where were you guys?
They went down to Atlantic City. They were upstairs, where were you guys? So Ava's like, do you guys wanna tell us what the conversation was? First time anyone has asked that about a Liam and Kendall conversation. I'd like to add.

**Ronnie Karam** (1:03)
And Ariana's like, hello, I'm in the room. Jeez. And Kendall's like, I'm a vault. They can try and get anything out of me, but I'm a vault.

**Ben Mandelker** (1:13)
Yes. We are aware.

**Ronnie Karam** (1:14)
So Ariana has anxiety because she knows they were talking about her. I'm quite mad. And now Liam, actor filmmaker, is making steaks. I'm basically a chef too. I'm a firefighter, actor.
I auditioned for nature wildlife, preserver, cabin owner, and chef. Pretty much a chef.

**Ben Mandelker** (1:34)
Yeah. I'm actually really good friends with Jeremy Allen Wyatt. We auditioned together for the Bruce Springsteen movie. And I was like, bro, born in the USA, right? And he's like, born to ride. And I was like, I don't get it.
But he got the role. I didn't. I don't know why. But he's a cool guy. He taught me some cooking tricks from Chicago. There's a Chicago restaurant that he does. And I'm basically part chef, part actual bear now. So it's pretty cool. It's just the actor's life.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:03)
You know what's crazy is that I've become a chef, but I've also become a quesadilla. So wrap your brain around that one.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:11)
I don't know how it happened.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:11)
How would you feel?

**Ben Mandelker** (2:13)
You know what they say? You are what you eat.
But when you're an actor, it's you are what you feel. And I feel a quesadilla, you know what I'm saying?

**Ronnie Karam** (2:20)
When you're an actor, you eat what you are.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:24)
You ever see Bradley Cooper in that movie about Anthony Bourdain? Was it a TV show maybe perhaps? I don't know. Sometimes I get them confused. It's all storytelling to me. But yeah, he was great. I auditioned for that too. I was, I think I was maybe seven years old, but I think I had a good shot at it. I learned a lot from Coop, a lot.
Anyway, cooking, am I right?

**Ronnie Karam** (2:47)
So Charlie is telling Georgia that he made up with Liam. He's like, yeah, I was like, I feel your situation. Like I get it. I mean, whether exclusive or not, I don't know. Maybe someone should tell me at some point. They'll figure it out.
And Georgia says, yeah, well, someone needs to try and like hook up with Liam and like see what happens.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:09)
So Georgia is just like shy. I feel like there's like a lot of things that you mistake as like malice when they simply just like aren't. He's like, if you're referring to your comment last night, like everyone thinks it's harsh. So yeah, but like I was trying to give you a compliment that you're funny.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:30)
And yeah, because he just got offended because they were like, oh, Ava needs to try and seduce Liam and Gia was like, uh-uh, Liam, I would go into a downward spiral. And he's like, we're not friends enough to poke fun, you guys. Okay.
So they're like, come on. Georgia says, I was just calling you a clown. That's because you're funny. And he's like, that's not a compliment. And Georgia goes, yeah, okay. But like Jester though, like Jester. He's like, that's even worse. And then we get one of two scenes right in a row where people are like, wow, really proud of being an idiot. And this one is Gia. And she's like, what even is a Jester? Like, I forgot, I'm looking up on my phone right now. Jester, when somebody makes like a Jester while they're talking, like with their arms. Wait, am I a Jester?
What?

**Ben Mandelker** (4:22)
What is he mad about? I'm confused.
I think she was serious. So then Gia's like, will you like the entertainer to be a family in a way? And Sha's like, I mean, I was like the younger sibling, like humor was my easy way out. So George is like, wait, so the tragic backstory is you want to be like, liked more by the people around you. He's like, no, no, it's not tragic. I just use humor so people would like me and those people were around me.
