Speaker 4 (00:16):
Look, our friends Bent, Mandelkaer and Ronnie Caramer here from
Watch with Crappens. They're out on their Mounting Hysteria tour
and we're loving what you're doing here in New York City.
This Saturday, they're doing their the world famous Golden Crappies
at Town Hall and you can watch it live there
or you can watch it streaming, right, guys.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Absolutely, there's only late twenty tickets left at town Hall,
which is really cool. So if you can't get those
twenty tickets, the streaming is gonna be available and it'll
be like video and demand for like two weeks afterwards too.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
On kids, withee, Okay, Okay, here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
You guys are going across the country doing your Mounting
Hysterio tour, but the Golden Crappies has turned into such
a favorite of ours and many people, especially if you're
a big Bravo fan, We've got questions about what's going
on over there. As a matter of fact, Andrew was
telling me a little fact about the Golden Crappies last year.
That wasn't all that happy, right, Andrew.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, didn't Heather unfollow you guys? Heather from City Right?
Speaker 6 (01:15):
Yeah, Heather Gay got mad because we nominated her nemesis
Monica for Best Nubie and she was like, how dare you.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
That woman stalked us? She stalked our businesses.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
I was like, yes, we love her, That's why we
love her. I mean, yeah, this is Bravo, lady, It's
not real life.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Well legitimized our Awards show.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
By the way, there's no bigger Bravo Show fan than
our own Diamond.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Diamond, you got to say you good morning to Ben
and Ronnie.
Speaker 7 (01:44):
Hi, besties.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I've missed it so much. I know.
Speaker 7 (01:49):
I can't wait to see you guys on Saturday. I'm
so excited. But I really want to know what you
guys are thinking about this, like finale from Ronie Real
Housewives of New York? What are we thinking? Because I
think the show should be canceled.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Should we pull the plug on it? Just get rid
of it? Done?
Speaker 6 (02:05):
Well, they're not going to do that because they put
it right after Beverly Hills, which gave it good ratings.
And now for the first time ever. People are talking
about it because that compulsive lying girl, Like, really, listen,
I mean, housewives have been compulsive liars for what twenty years.
I don't know why this is.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
She went a little too far. I mean, she went
way too far, too far.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
Yeah, yeah, everyone's shock at the liars is crazy, like
it's never happened before.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But yeah, you could go pretty low.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
It was a rough season and that finale was so dark.
I mean, I just I don't know. I think they've
got to do a little bit of a shake up
over there.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
All right, I should pull the plug. No shake up? Yes,
shake up?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Yeah, you know, like maybe like keep like maybe Jessel
and maybe just Jessel.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I have a question a speaking of I don't even
know a lot about these shows, but I know there's
also been a ton of drama with the Real Housewives
of New Jersey. What do you guys think is going
to happen there?
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Oh gosh, I have no idea how that's going to
shake out because it's so divided. I think Bravo is
gonna always stand behind Teresa, so I think that Teresa
will be there, And if Teresa's there, then I think
Melissa is going to probably be out. I think Delarea
Chris will definitely stay in the mix because everyone loves
Dolores and she's also very neutral. And then I don't
know what it means for Margaret. I don't know what
(03:25):
it means. I think Jennifer will probably be out because
she's getting into trouble. I really have no idea. I mean,
can you can do that, but you can't kill it.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Jersey Mike's person that makes your sandwiches. Okay, that is
a virable offense.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Jennifer, that was so I'm not even but when I
saw her at Jersey Mike's going off, I'm like, no, cancel.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Her fish maker.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
It was one of the most It was one of
the most unifying moments in recent American history. It was
one thing that like all sides could come together and say, no, ma'am,
do not yell.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
At Jersey no carves. It's like you're yelling at our
car dealer.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Get out.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah they are carb dealers. Hey, they're friends of ours.
We know Jersey mics. Hey, so let's talk about what
watch What Crappens. This podcast is getting got millions of
listens every month. People just can't get enough of the
Bravo shows, and you guys do more than just Bravo shows.
I mean you guys right, I mean I was on
the impression you did. When I was listening I heard
(04:27):
Timpigins the Bravo show, and I was like, what.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Yeah, we do the Traders, We do Love Island, USA.
We even do House of the Dragon, you know, because
like why not, why not throw some dragons into the mix.
It's sort of like thematically unbrand. I mean, we're just
talking about real houses in New Jersey, and like, honestly,
that show is more vicious than anything that Game of
Thrones ever did.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
No, I mean that the show looks tame compared to
the housewise for sure.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Well, congratulations on all the all the success with Watch
What Crappens, And keep in mind they also won our
twenty twenty five our iHeart Podcast to Word for best
pop culture podcasts.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You recognize as doing. So this has turned into a
thing for you guys.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
I mean it started out as something fun, I'm assuming,
but look at what it's done. How has this thing
changed your lives?
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Oh my god, it's amazing. I'm still sitting around in
my underwear all day, but you know, now I don't
have to wait tables a couple times a week. So
it's been it has been great, and our audience is
so kind to us to let us do this. We're
so excited and just to be able to make fun
of stupid people. I mean, as a kid, that's all
I did and that's all I wanted to do. So,
you know, what dreams do come true.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
What do you think then, I mean, we started this
podcast literally thirteen years ago this past weekend, our birthday,
our podcast bar Mitzvah was this past weekend, and back
then I was driving uber, I mean, you know, trying
to make it in Hollywood, trying to like make something happen,
and this just started out as like a fun thing
on the side. And we I don't think we ever
(05:58):
thought that we would be in a situation where be
like on first of all, on this show talking about it,
and then on top of that, like we have a
show on Broadway that's nearly sold out, like it's kind
of wild, and it really like I can't believe it.
But thank God, like Ronnie said, thank God for stupid
people that we can make fun of.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
For stupid people, Well, we all are entertained by stupidity. Yeah, okay,
so there are only twenty seats available, but I would
if you want, if you're around New York City Saturday night,
I would try to February first.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It's hold on, can we edit that? What is today's?
Is it this Saturdays day? Yeah? Okay, I don't know
what today?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Okay, So if you're so, if you're around New York
City this Saturday night, that'd be February first. The Golden
Crappies happening at town Hall. How do you get those tickets?

watch it.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yes, Danielle. Is the trophy that people get like a
toilet bowl.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Like, what's it's a golden emoji?

your listeners. How legit is this voting system? And how
do we know it's not rigged.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Anymore? It's a very very legitimate system. We actually use
a service, and it's actually it's my favorite part. Like
I love watching the votes come in and seeing who's
doing what. And I have to tell you that Bravo
Leberty of the Year, there has been a come from
