Watch What Crappens Hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. This is part two of the recap. If you missed part one, go check out your podcast feed. It's right there. And without further ado, let's get right back into the recap.
Ronnie Karam (0:34)
Liam, you might be the business man in New York. What?
Ben Mandelker (0:38)
Busiest man in New York.
Ronnie Karam (0:39)
What show are you watching? What?
So you're an actor, a director, a hockey player, motorcycle enthusiast, ski instructor, volunteer fighter, horse dad, wow. But you still found time to apply for the position you crave most. Oh, Ariel is boyfriend. Doot dee dee, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S. God, this is boring. Why are there children? Can we get some older ladies who are possibly on drugs yelling at each other? Okay, go ahead, Liam, answer that.
Ben Mandelker (1:13)
Liam, what's it like to be okay at a bunch of things, but not good at any one thing? He's like, well, you know, the actor's life.
I remember, was it 2001, was it 2000? I was on set for Hey Arnold. I was in the voice booth. I played schoolmate number three, and I had to say, hey Arnold. Yeah, it was an honor. It's like saying, like, well, you know, live from New York, it's Saturday night, except the Nickelodeon version. Hey Arnold. I'll just say it one more time. Anyway, it was, you know, life is hard. I try to do a lot of things, and you know, it was just an honor to be on this show. Carrera, and did her soon.
Ronnie Karam (1:54)
All right. Well, are people still jerking off to your feet? And was one of those people working at Nickelodeon while your mother was there? He's like, well, you know, I mean, there is such a, there is something about jerking off to feet. I don't really get it. I do get pedicures now, so thanks. But yeah, I mean, maybe I'm kind of an epo baby because my mom worked at Nickelodeon. I got into Nickelodeon and worked there. Haven't really worked since though. So don't hate me.
Yeah.
Ben Mandelker (2:27)
You know that show, They Can't Do That on Television?
I've been trying to pitch a new show called, I Would Like to Do That on Television, and it's about me acting. So anyway, next question. So then Andy's like, all right, well, Jaleel from White said, Did Hudson setting a boundary with you make you want to pursue Ariana even more? And I was like, oh, I wouldn't say that. I mean, it definitely puts a smile on the face knowing you're pissing off the last guy. Just what us actors do. Man, you should have seen Marishka. The time I sassed off to her ex, she was like, wow, that was so inspiring. I'm gonna host the Emmys. So I don't know. I'm sure Charlie knows about this too, right? Right, Charlie?
Ronnie Karam (3:08)
Right, Charlie?
Ben Mandelker (3:09)
Hey, man.
Ronnie Karam (3:11)
No lies. No lies, bro. Yeah, but you know, I didn't know him anything. So I don't really care. You know, I don't even eat fried chicken. Like, what's it gonna offer me? You know what I mean? And to be fair, the crush was like from the very beginning. It's like he always had a crush. So like, I mean, the second he saw a camera, he got a crush. So, I mean, I think he's been pretty consistent. Yeah, yeah, basically.
You want to talk more about that? No, not really. We'll dig deeper into that in a bit. Arianna's like, dig deeper. And my heart is like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Put my hand on my pink Bible. Put my hand on my pink Bible. It's like crazy. Oh, so nervous.
Ben Mandelker (3:47)
So Liam's like, so are we going to dig into this after lunch? Is that what's going to happen after lunch? And this, by the way, this begins Liam's obsession with lunch on this reunion, because then every time we see Liam after this, he's like, are we going to lunch? Will there be coffee at lunch?
Do you think there'll be good snacks at lunch? Will there be salad? Are we going to have silverware or will it be plastic? Does anyone know any more details about lunch?
Ronnie Karam (4:11)
Liam was like, why are we still sitting here? Like, how was there a whole segment about someone not wanting to go to lunch with an old man and we're having to sit here for 12 hours with one? What is this?
