Watch What Crappens

Ben Mandelker (1:00)

Hi, Detroit.

Ronnie Karam (1:04)

So good to see you guys. Thank you for being here. Are you exhausted from?

SPEAKER_3 (1:08)

The marathon.

SPEAKER_4 (1:10)

Marathon.

Ronnie Karam (1:13)

I come up here and immediately go limp. This fucking mic. Yeah, so we got into town today, and you guys are having a fucking marathon. Stop.

Ben Mandelker (1:22)

Yeah, it's OK.

Ronnie Karam (1:25)

It's a weekend. Stop running. This is the Lord's Day. Calm down.

Ben Mandelker (1:29)

Sit down. It's time to outlaw the marathons.

OK, because on the one hand, you have six months of a friend saying, I can't go out tonight. I'm training for a marathon. And then when the marathon arrives, those of us who are not training can't go anywhere. We're trapped. Why don't they do marathons in the woods?

Ronnie Karam (1:54)

We were stuck in the Uber, you know, what is going on? It's clearly a marathon. I don't see anybody walking to be out. Did you?

Ben Mandelker (2:03)

By the way, I saw five people running. I mean, they weren't running. They were done. It was so we came in.

Ronnie Karam (2:09)

This is my kind of town. You guys have a marathon. You block off every street and everybody just goes to lunch. I don't see anybody out there.

Ben Mandelker (2:15)

Yeah, we saw five people with like the tin foil wrapped around them. And then, you know, I was like, you're closing down the entire city. We just wanted to get to our hotel.

I was like, where is Carol Radswell?

SPEAKER_5 (2:28)

Marathon!

SPEAKER_3 (2:30)

Marathon!

Ronnie Karam (2:34)

What a great place Detroit is. And it's so good to be back here.

Ben Mandelker (2:39)

And by the way, St. Andrews, thank you for coming out on a Sunday night. We really appreciate that. We know it's a schlep to get down here during a marathon, but we really appreciate it.

SPEAKER_3 (2:51)

For The Real Housewives of Orange County, Baaaaa!

I'm just a girl. A girl in New York City.

Ben Mandelker (3:02)

Did you see that Carol Radzwell wound up on the cover of the New York Post? I mean, they're like trash box.

Ronnie Karam (3:08)

Carol Radzwell, parking terrorist, stealing every parking space in New York City.

Ben Mandelker (3:16)

What an honor.

Ronnie Karam (3:17)

I mean, it is.

Ben Mandelker (3:19)

If I knew that's all it took to get on the cover of a newspaper, I'd be like parking across every lane that I saw. I'd be like, please, New York Post, find me.

Ronnie Karam (3:28)

How does Carol Radzwell have $8,000 in parking tickets that she hasn't paid?

I don't move my car one day, they'll tow that shit. How do you get away with having $8,000 in parking?

Ben Mandelker (3:39)

It's the summer of parking tickets, Carol.

I have a question. Did Caroline pay her parking tickets also?

SPEAKER_3 (3:51)

I don't want to talk about Caroline, but that's parking tickets. It's extremely traumatizing to me.

Ben Mandelker (4:01)

By the way, I have to say, I know we're not here to talk about Ronnie, but I am very pleased with this new Ronnie season, and I'm happy to see it come back from the brink.

SPEAKER_3 (4:12)

Is that it?

Ben Mandelker (4:13)

That's all.

SPEAKER_3 (4:13)

That's it.

Ben Mandelker (4:16)

Just an observation. Guys, I'm just really tired from the marathon.

Ronnie Karam (4:20)

Well, I love that they're taking over the news because the news is depressing, and in the past week, you know, there's been like normal Trump stuff, like, you know, you send your daughter to kindergarten and they come back a son or whatever. But it's like the usual crazy shit that you're reading.

I thought, actually, that sounds like kind of good. I mean, I don't know, if they're talking to a really liberal person, I'm like, free surgeries? Well, how do I get into that school? By the way, I mean, really any kind, but I'm like, are we suddenly like helping our citizens out like that? Anyway, the point is, there's like really stupid stuff happening. But now we are talking about Kelly Clarkson and Carol Rodswell's parking tickets.

Ben Mandelker (5:05)

Everything's happening. And by the way, I have to say, I feel really bad for everyone here in Michigan because I spent this afternoon watching football and the amount of annoying election ads that are happening. I am so sorry, you guys.

I'm so sorry that you're going through this. It was crazy. It was like out of control. I was like dozing off, like watching football. Then all of a sudden, the music gets really scary. And then like there's like someone black and white. It's just like a lady, her name's like Jane, Jane Francis. They're like Jane. Jane Francis believes that all Michigan people should be thrown in a pit. I'm like, what is happening with these election ads?
