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 (0:39)

So now Ariana is gonna once again make a proclamation about herself. I don't think I'm the same person that I was when Hudson and I broke up or when he left New York. I'm like, it's been three months.

You do not get to make these proclamations this quickly. Unless you went on to Survivor or something like that, you've just been doing the same thing you've been doing since you broke up with Hudson. Nothing has changed.

Ronnie Karam (1:01)

Yeah. And so she says she's really evolved.

And he's like, well, I really didn't expect it to be you and Liam. I figured it would be Charlie before Liam. And she's like, oh, no, I'm just good friends with Charlie, but whatever. Hey, by the way, do you want to come to my new beginnings party? It would be good for you since you cut off. You're going to have to make a new beginning without me. And he's like, I love you so much.

She's giving her those eyes, like, oh. You think that you're dating someone else, but you know it's always coming back to me, my little precious. I have a billion dollars. My Lambo caught on fire. I don't even care.

Ben Mandelker (1:44)

Now Ava's FaceTime with Amira, and Amira's like, I think I threw up so hard I broke every blood vessel in my face, because basically Amira's saying that she will not be going to the New Beginnings Party and because she's sick. And we know she's sick because she's taken this big poofy comforter and wrapped it around her face. She basically looks like she's in a papoose. She's just fully wrapped in it and she looks so cozy. She's like, yeah, I'm sick, but I'm also serving high fashion at the same time. Duvet high fashion that is. So I can't go, but I know it's going to be tea and I wish I was there.

So she had to get it.

Ronnie Karam (2:18)

Liam Kendall and Jackson are on the way to the party and Liam's like, yeah, you know, the other night at Shy's Thing, I was in a little mood, I guess, you know? They wanted to go, Charlie's just smug, could join again. And I was like, I'm not going to that. I got better things to do. Breath exercises, you know, brushing my toothpaste, I mean, brushing my teeth without an actual toothbrush just to see if I could still get the improv down right. You know, stuff like that. So, it's pretty important to me. Building a huge sink. I really worked on building a sink.

Walking upstairs that weren't there, you know, mimery is really more important than you guys understand. You know, everything is green screen now.

Ben Mandelker (3:03)

And so then, so Ariana is, I'm sorry, he's talking about like, like about how Eva and Shy made out. And Kendall's like, are you serious?

So then we go over to Rowan's apartment where Brooks and Riley and Rowan are there. Rowan's apartment is so cozy. I'm not sure, is this Rowan's apartment or where she, this is just, I think this is just her home. This is where Brooke Shields, this is like she lives with her parents, but they have like a really kind of like Nancy Meyers kind of house. It's very cozy and nice in there. And Rowan is like, so I went over to Ava's to make gingerbread houses and she was like, I guess shy. And I was like, what? I didn't hear that because I was packing my house to go. But apparently she gets shy. And I was like, wait, really? Brooks like, seriously?

I'm just shook.

Ronnie Karam (3:54)

Ava talks to her dad, Damon, and tells him that she made out with shy. And he's like, you know, you made his whole life. You know that, right? I mean, shy? Wow.

You really need to ask questions, though, before anyone puts their mouths on you. Everybody has herpes.

Ben Mandelker (4:10)

He goes, you have to say, do you have herpes? Point fucking blank, okay?

Just that's how you do it. She's like, yeah, dad.

Ronnie Karam (4:22)

So then back in the car with Liam, Candle's like, how's the whole Charlie sit? He's like, oh, that's her friend. I'm not trying to be her friend. You know, I'm trying to be her fucking man. So if you want to have shitty friends, have shitty friends. What do I care? At the end of the day, you're coming home to me.
