Ben Mandelker (0:21)

Hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. I'm Ben Mandelker, and joining me today is the one and only Ronnie Karam. Hi Ronnie. How's it going over there?

Ronnie Karam (0:35)

Good. What's going on with you today?

Ben Mandelker (0:37)

Not much.

You look nice and comfy over there in the A-Cast studios. Did you have a very fun time circling Manhattan last night with some Bravo liberties?

Ronnie Karam (0:49)

Yes, it was fun. Austin and Hannah, it was a good time.

Thanks to everybody who came out. It was great times. I've never seen the Statue of Liberty up that close.

Ben Mandelker (0:59)

Isn't it crazy?

Ronnie Karam (1:00)

It is. It's so beautiful. I lived in Staten Island when I was 18, so I passed that thing every day, but I feel like she was smaller.

She was just so majestic. Yeah.

Ben Mandelker (1:12)

It's kind of amazing.

Ronnie Karam (1:13)

Hi, everybody.

SPEAKER_4 (1:14)

It's my mom, Pets.

Ronnie Karam (1:16)

She's still up there raising her arm like, do I smell? Yeah.

Ben Mandelker (1:22)

She's a sight. She's a sight. She should become a Real Housewife.

Well, guess what? Real Housewives of New York is tomorrow. And I've already seen that episode. I don't know if you have, but I'll tell you, it was quite funny. It was quite funny. But today, we are talking Below Deck, which is just having such a crazy season, Below Deck Med. Before we dive into that, everyone, the tour is starting soon. We're in the mix. Watch What Crappens is in the mix tour.

We are starting our tour in Kansas City. We're starting it in Kansas City on October 3rd, Saturday, October 3rd. So come join us. We cannot say whether or not Taylor Swift will be there, but there may be someone named Taylor there, and there may be someone who's moving swiftly. So who knows? But-

Ronnie Karam (2:08)

Yeah, we can't say she's not going to be there.

Ben Mandelker (2:10)

Yeah, we can't make any promises of whether or not Taylor Swift will be there, but she might be there.

Ronnie Karam (2:14)

LeBun could be there. You don't know who's going to be there. Al Pacino could be there.

Ben Mandelker (2:19)

Literally, all those people could be there, guys. We can't make any promises. But I'm just going to say right now, there is a chance that Taylor Swift could be there.

I mean, technically, there's a chance. She could be like, this is the time I want to go. But that's going to be on October 3rd, and then Chicago is the very next night, and then we have Minneapolis and Detroit later in October.

So we're starting off in the Midwest, and it's going to be amazing. Also, on Patreon, come join us for the Patreon experience. We recorded a bonus episode yesterday that is a trailer trash of The Golden Life, which is essentially old school Ronnie down in Palm Beach. So we had a fun time with that. It was very funny. It looks like it'll be a good time. And Patreon has so much more to offer. We have Crappens On Demand, ad free, listening on audio, all that great stuff. So get the full experience and wonderful Discord community.

SPEAKER_3 (3:19)

Whoa.

Ben Mandelker (3:19)

So join us all there.

SPEAKER_3 (3:22)

You know what?

Ronnie Karam (3:22)

People keep asking me why it looks so amazing still. You know, there's a Ramona on that.

SPEAKER_3 (3:29)

I did nothing. I did nothing.

Ronnie Karam (3:31)

I just naturally look young and amazing.

SPEAKER_3 (3:34)

That's why I look the way I do, because I did nothing, okay?

Ronnie Karam (3:38)

Oh, today is all about... Oh, by the way, I was watching the game yesterday because I was with the straight guy named Don.

SPEAKER_3 (3:46)

Whoa.

Ronnie Karam (3:47)

Whoa, we gotta watch the game.

Ben Mandelker (3:49)

Yeah, you know, team was playing, Kansas City.

Ronnie Karam (3:51)

Chiefs.

SPEAKER_3 (3:53)

Yeah.

Ronnie Karam (3:53)

And somebody else who wasn't a red team. I think they were blue.

Ben Mandelker (3:58)

Colorado, perhaps.

Ronnie Karam (3:59)

Flag boys. Like they were doing a flag boy dance when I was watching it. You know, like flag dancing. That's what it's called, right? Flag dancing.

I feel problematic saying that. Flag dancing. That's a thing.

And so that was great. But also the Kelsey brother was up there. I was like, oh, that, that's kind of a cute bear. And he's like, Ronnie, this is Kelsey. Whatever. He's like, very well. I'm used to him looking like a Duck Dynasty dirty.
