Well, hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast for all the things we love to talk about. On Ye Olde Bros, I'm Ronnie. That's Ben over there.
Ronnie Karam (0:29)
Hello, Ben.
Ronnie Karam (0:31)
Hi!
Ben Mandelker (0:37)
Welcome to Real Housewives of NY Day here on Crappens. We are about to go on tour. It is our in the mix tour. In the mix.
We start October 3rd in Kansas City. We're going to be going to Kansas City and Chicago our first weekend. We're really excited to get out there. We're going to a lot of places. We don't end until February 25th in New York City for the Golden Crappies at Town Hall. All the tickets and the entire schedule is up at watchwhatcrappens.com, so go over there and make sure that you know that we're coming to your city, because we are.
Ronnie Karam (1:12)
Go get tickets to come see us. Yeah.
Ronnie Karam (1:14)
You know how we know we're on the in the mix tour? Because look what Facebook sent to me. It said, new friend suggestion, Carl Radke.
Ronnie Karam (1:24)
Carl Radke.
Ben Mandelker (1:26)
Carl Radke. In the mix.
Ronnie Karam (1:29)
I'm in the mix.
Ronnie Karam (1:30)
I'm next on Facebook. Yeah.
Ben Mandelker (1:32)
In the mix is happening. We're psyched to go do it. We are going to have a crappy hour today, which is bizarre. We don't normally do it on a Wednesday, but we're going to do it this Wednesday, right now. Yeah.
Right after this, it's going to be at our regular time, 3.3 Pacific time, 5.00. Well, just figure that from Pacific time, because I'm going to make a mess of it.
Ronnie Karam (1:53)
That's totally incorrect. It's going to be at 5.3 Pacific, the crappy hour is at 5.3 Pacific time, 8.3 East Coast time.
Ben Mandelker (2:02)
Yes. At 7.3 Central time and 6.3 Mountain time.
Ronnie Karam (2:06)
Well, it's also going to be at 1.30, but you have to figure out what time zone that's going to be in. It's not in America.
Ronnie Karam (2:16)
For the rest of you guys.
Ben Mandelker (2:19)
Okay, today here we are with the little Real Housewives of New York City's Episode 2 of Season 16, Much Ado About Brunching. We get a couple of things in this episode. We get the return of Carole Radswell and we get taglines.
They were not in the screener that we saw, so we just watched them before we started recording this. And I literally almost fell off my chair when Carole's came on. I wasn't prepared for that.
Ronnie Karam (2:52)
I was not.
Ben Mandelker (2:54)
Let's get moving. You want to start with some Daisy?
Ronnie Karam (2:58)
I'll do Daisy. In my line of work, I charge extra for two faces.
That's pretty good. I actually think that's really good. I think that's a really good tagline for someone who's a makeup artist. That's very good. I give an A to Daisy's line.
Ben Mandelker (3:14)
How much do you charge for two necks? I need a whole thing here.
Jessel is, it's not my fault if you can't tell an accent from an attitude.
Ronnie Karam (3:30)
That's all right.
I give that a B.
Give that a B. It's good. It's good. I don't think it's amazing. It's good. Haley is, when they go low, I get high.
I give it a B plus, like B plus, A minus. I think it's on the cusp there. What do you think?
Ronnie Karam (3:47)
Yeah.
Ben Mandelker (3:48)
Haley's whole personality, just being someone who has discovered weed gummies is weird.
Ronnie Karam (3:55)
Yeah.
Ben Mandelker (3:55)
And I feel like we all know the older person that is like that. I mean, most of them are my friends because I am an older person now. But I was smoking weed for so long that people have been like, oh, wow, have you heard about marijuana?
Ronnie Karam (4:11)
I am so high right now, bro.
Ben Mandelker (4:14)
I'm like, oh, yeah. Gee, the wait till you hear about Coke.
Ronnie Karam (4:19)
Yeah, I think that's the thing is like, it's like the more she talks about getting high, the more cringy I find it to be. But as far as wordplay goes though, I think it's very solid wordplay. So I give it good marks.
Ben Mandelker (4:32)
Yeah, especially for a stoner because mine would probably be like, I get high. And also, it's just like down a rocky road gallon.
Ronnie Karam (4:43)
Mine would be, my stoner tagline would be, when they go low, you know what's so funny? I was just thinking the other day, I was like in the kitchen and I was like making cereal. And I was like, why do we call it cereal? Because like, I mean, first of all, it's confusing. The other thing is I was thinking about, I was watching a rerun of Sisters and like Suzy Kurtz, you know what's funny about her?
