Chapter 1: What unique recording experience do the hosts share in this episode?
Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap!
Crap!
Hello, and welcome to Watch What Crap Is, 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 wonderful and effervescent Ronnie Karam. Hi, Ronnie. Why, thanks. How are you?
Oh, I'm just doing fabulously, especially because we are doing something really unique today that we're going to be doing all week long, which is that we're actually recording in a studio together. Yeah. Like a real deal grown-up podcast. We're in Acast Studios today. No way. New York City. New York City.
Look, if you're watching with Krappens on Demand, which you should be watching, patreon.com slash watch for Krappens, you can actually see that they made us custom microphone box things, you know, which is really cool. And there's like a backdrop. It's just blue, but it's nice. And we've got like... There's fake plants. It's like the real deal. More importantly, we're both wearing pants today.
More importantly. Yeah, you got to leave the house. You put on some pants. Yeah, exactly. Look, there's tchotchkes. We've got Danny Pellegrino's book, Giggly Squad. It's all very exciting. There's a Polaroid camera. It's like a very exciting time for us right now. Today, we are recapping Real Housewives of Atlanta. Before we get into that, we are putting on a cabaret.
That's why we are here in New York City right now recording together. Our first show is Wednesday night. Our second and third shows are both on Friday night. Tickets are sold out, but you can stream the show. Go to watchforcrappens.com or use the link on our socials. And you can buy your streaming tickets right up to showtime, which is going to be 7 o'clock on Wednesday.
Can the Friday people still buy their streaming tickets up until Friday? Do you know? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, you can buy all the tickets up until the show time for that show. For that show. But then after that, you can't buy those tickets. However, you can watch the replay for the following week. So we've been here rehearsing. We've been doing real deal rehearsals. That's crazy.
We're rehearsing at AMDA, which is from Fame. Oh, are they from Fame? I think so. American Music and Dance Academy, I think is where it's from. Isn't that what Fame was based off of? I've never seen Fame. Oh my God. I'm learning so much about you this week. Dom was in the new fam, and I still haven't seen it. I'm learning so much about your gayhood this week.

Chapter 2: How do Shamea and Angela's attempts at conflict resolution unfold?
I have a lot of gay omissions. Oh, this new one. Would you just tell me right now? You've never seen something. You just said it right now. Right now? I don't know what I just said. You come on. We're talking about it right now. Did you hear what he said? Oh, fame.
Fame.
Actually, that's a lie. I remember there was a Fame TV show, and I remember watching that when I was a kid and loving it. But I never saw the original movie. I never saw the remake. Again, Dom is in it, and I still haven't seen it. But I... Yeah, but the kick... I always thought I could do a kick line because, you know, you sort of like joke around doing them.
But when you actually have to do it to music, it's so hard. And I was in my hotel room last night trying to do a kick line. There's, of course, no room. I'm just sitting there kicking a mattress because there's no room for my leg to go out. But like getting the knee to come up and then come down and the leg to come up and all doing that one, two, three, four. I couldn't do it. I don't know.
Chorus line is like a nightmare for me. I'm like honestly doing anything to music. Honestly. So everyone, come to our cabaret. Does anyone want to see me just kick in a sporadic pattern? You will see that. One thing I've asked myself multiple times over the past few days is, why did we... and it went pretty much like that. I thought it was a questioning.
Yeah, it's like Chorus Line, all my experiences with Chorus Line, so I watched it for the first time, the movie for the first time, about a month ago in preparation for this, because we were going to be doing a big Chorus Line situation. And so I watched the movie, and I was like, I hated the movie. And now I'm traumatized. Well, that's gay. That's gay. All the gays hated the movie. OK.
Straight people are like, I loved it. I mean, I loved it because I was a kid, you know, so I thought it was just so cool. Like people were singing, you know, I loved it. Yeah. So yeah, gay people like notoriously hate Chorus Line. If you ever want to like give someone a softie, like when you're about to have sex with a gay guy, just be like, I love the Chorus Line movie.
I feel like I'm just incurring Chorus Line trauma every day. I don't think I'm going to be able to get on board with Chorus Line. That's okay, it's over. It got canceled. Actually, that's a lie. I'm sure I'm going to like, what's going to happen is next week I'll be like, Ronnie, oh my God, I can't stop singing Chorus Line. I mean, I know it's going to happen. I'm just, I'm huffy at the moment.
What can I say? So anyway, we're doing that. And then last week was a holiday Monday. So we did not cover Atlanta or Rhode Island. And those were actually two really good episodes. So let's just go through. Well, yeah, I was going to say Atlanta. We're both doing this to each other. We're doing jazz hands to each other. Mine was just like a... I'm like, so. I just went like this.

Chapter 3: What insights does Drew provide about her team dynamics?
I disagree. I mean, so much happened last week. Okay, please. Yeah, so much happened. First of all, Shamil only has one male embryo. And I feel bad for the girl embryos. I hate when people say shit like that. I feel like I'm reading a book from like, I don't know, like I just read this whole Rome series, you know, like for months I've been reading this thing.
And like the obsession with having a boy. It just makes me crazy. It's like we're 2026. But we have to have a boy. No, you don't. We're going to carry on the air conditioning legacy. It has to be a boy like a girl can run your air conditioning legacy. You don't need another penis in that house. I'm so fucking sick of people. You know, what about all those other embryos? Like, give them a chance.
Maybe you have a little chorus line star in there and you're just flushing it down the toilet. Embryo kick line. What if the penis is going to be a serial killer? I'm just so sick of hearing it from people. Just fucking be lucky to have a baby, you know? You're sitting here crying over having a baby. Feel grateful that you have the money to do this and just have your fucking baby.
I'm so sick of it. I know. I think it's like I'm kind of... I don't know, there's something about watching these people on TV who are just kind of trying to curate this perfect ratio of types of babies. I'm like, just have a baby. Just have a baby and however your baby turns out is how it turns out. You'll love them as much no matter what.
And it's like the fact that we have to sit there and sit front row and watch people decide like, well, yes, we have the kids, but we want... Like, our plan was to have this number and this number, and we're trying to have this, and now we can't get that number. I'm like, I don't know. I don't have, like, a huge amount of, like... Sympathy. Passion. Give a fucking this. I have sympathy.
I have sympathy because I think if you're trying to start a family, that's a very serious thing, and you have hopes and dreams attached to it. But they have a family started, these two. I know. I know. And it's just, like, I feel like it's a little... like, I don't know. I feel like it's ungrateful. And also we're in 2026.
I think that if you have, if you have your eggs and you, and you have embryos, I do understand the investment that you've sort of like, there's a literal part of yourself that's out there that you now want to see flourish. Like you've already attached stuff to it. I get it, but I don't know.
I'm sort of sick of watching on real on like any reality show, like the not like in vitro fine, but like, or, or, or, uh, uh,
what do you call it when someone else carries the baby oh surrogacy surrogacy fine but it's like the but we wanted we wanted to have three boys and three girls i'm like okay can we do we have to like i don't know i just i'm over i'm over look i think we're in 2026 you're going to have that baby and god knows what it's going to be anyway because you could have you know you could have a baby born as a boy and then a few years later they're like i was born in the wrong body and that's like a real thing that happens all the time so

Chapter 4: What happens during the sound bath party at Phaedra's house?
And she's like, well, if that's not a sign, I don't know what it is. And I was looking around and I was like, did you do it? Did you do it? Did someone do this to me? I was like, I just couldn't believe it. Anyway, this group is divided and stemming from Dallas and... I don't want that. But like, that's where we are in the division. They're trying to say it's me.
I'm like, literally no one said it's you. You called a house meeting because you were suspicious that they would say it was you. So you called a house meeting to get in front of it. And everyone sat there and was like, what's going on? Like, who said this? Shamia, what's the issue? You're the one that's saying it. And you've got the look on your face.
And she's like, there is plotting and scheming. And they're like, wait. But that's what she said. That's K. Michelle's line, plotting and scheming. So we're plotting and scheming. I love her confusing Portia. I mean, they did kind of ask her because K. Michelle said, so last night I heard somebody was plotting and scheming.
And they're like, well, but you were just with Shamia and Kelly last night. So who told you? And she's like, and now you're blaming me? I will put on a bikini and confront all of you. I know. And the way she's telling the story to her family, her family would probably think like, oh my God, Shamia, she's like the villain of the season. Wow, that's kind of high profile.
Because she's like, they're blaming it on me. And I just can't believe this season has come down to a she versus she disagreement. And I'm one of the she's. Can you believe it? I'm basically the linchpin of this entire thing. And they're like, uh. they're like, wow, what's going on? Can I have another $100? My rent is late. Did the automatic transfer not go through?
So she's going through this whole thing, and she's saying, and you know what? Angela's definitely trying me. I'm like, Angela basically looked at you and said, why do you have that face on? That's what that came from. So anyway. Well, she's saying that Angela said, you know you're telling Kate Michelle something to where she's not liking us.
I like how vague she is with all of this stuff to her family, you know? So Shamia's like, you know, I don't know why I'm being blamed for this. I don't have any clue. Maybe I'm delusional. Maybe I need to sing that song, Delusional. Girl, just at least that's one that people remember. That's a good song, actually. Delusional? Oh, yeah.
So Shamia's mom is like, at the end of the day, you can take care for take care. You got people that want to make you negative. Shamia, you know, they're jealous. Someone's like, they're jealous. She's like, let them have their garbage thoughts to themselves and take it and run with it.
And when you get that garbage thought, you put it in your purse, you turn it into a rainbow and you ask that horse. When it's going to run around the block. I was like, are you just saying words? What the fuck kind of motherly advice is she even giving at this point? She's just making things up. That mom is just like, I'm tired, Shamia. I've already stole Portia's mother's daycare.

Chapter 5: How does K. Michelle's presence affect the group dynamics?
Dalemans was the brand. I don't know why they did not go to another airline because the Stroopwafels. And I'll tell you one thing, I'm over the Biscoffs. Biscoffs are nice. I don't like the Biscoffs either. I don't think they're very good. It's basically like a thick graham cracker. I just don't understand why it's so difficult to make a casual cookie. Why? It's actually not good.
They're also dry and shitty. They're fine. They're fine. But like, but what I don't like is this. It's like and as a snack, we have a cookie available. So when someone says cookie, I'm thinking something a little decadent. Maybe there's a chocolate chip in there or maybe it's whatever. But like if it's a Biscoff to me, a Biscoff is like not even like a cookie. It's a biscuit or a.
It's just like its own entity. But I feel misled, quite frankly, whenever they say there's a cookie available and it's only a Biscoff. And I'm sick of it. Yeah. It feels like a dog cookie. Yeah. But sweeter. Yeah. Anyway. So anyway, let's see. So they're doing a photo shoot. It's cute. I don't care. So then Cynthia comes and Angela comes.
and they're talking about this party again, and Angela's like, oh, it was bad, Cynthia. There were already issues walking into the room, and then Kay had an issue with Portia and Drew, and Cynthia's like, this group is fragmented. Well, I already said that this episode, Cynthia. Okay, cut that. Okay. This group is like a bunch of kids on a school bus. You just want to pull that bus over, John.
Okay, that was better.
Keep that one. Okay.
Okay.
By the way, I do want to also mention that Angela brought her daughter, and so then her daughter started doing poses. And I'll tell you, the real star, as much as I love Pinky's daughter, Angela's daughter striking those poses, they only showed it for one second, and if you missed it, you missed it.
But I could have just sat there and watched 20 minutes of Angela's daughter doing those poses, because she was living out every gay boy's adolescence at that moment. She was like, hee! Like a hand behind the head, hand out. Every pose looked like she was auditioning to be in Punky Brewster. It was great. So Pinky updates them on what K. Michelle's problem is.
