Hey y'all, so this is a fun one. We thought we'd have our very own Gabriela Barragan back to chat with us. You know, while we're in between Below Deck Med and Dan on to dropping, it was great to talk to Gabby. We kind of, you know, said goodbye in a way as she's off doing sea rat stuff now but we thought it would be fitting to end with her because we spoke to her when she was just a uh random uh member of our facebook group and uh we had her on knowing full well she would be on the show and yeah she's she's great okay enjoy it. I didn't know Hannah was behind it. I got hit up by a producer when it was in pre-production.

It wasn't even sold yet to a network. You know how they say a large network is already interested and you're like, okay, which one? And then they won't tell you. They're like another podcast. They're like lifetime. Yeah. Hey, Gabby. What's up?

What's up? What have you been up to? Oh. Oh, I thought you were imitating me. Hey, so let's thank Gabby for being here because she very easily could have slept. Right. And we just want to tell the audience that this is going to be tacked on to this episode that you're listening to. But, you know, Gabby is our favorite sea rat um so we thought that we would catch up with gabby and see where she's going after season three of below deck sailing out the greatest season of below deck in franchise history um unfortunately gabby removed herself from what would have been a great rest of the season but we got Scarlet and Barnaby so anyways uh Gabs what's going on you and Wes are getting married

oh no sea rats don't get married right um we're just such a good point yeah it's really hard to keep these relationships going most of the time because we have to put our careers first and if we don't he has his own boat now so he's not it's hard to drop anchor exactly nice um he's he has his own boat now so the last thing he wants to do is to get on another super yacht right and leave his boat unattended so he's doing that he's doing the boy what happens if um you leave your boat unattended a hurricane comes and takes it away really yeah so you have to move it before hurricane season so he's doing the boy scouts of america right now and then i decided to just come home and recharge and what does that yeah what does that mean he's doing the boy scout

i shouldn't have said it that way but is he is he trying to become an eagle scout he's teaching them how to say oh he's teaching he is an eagle he's the leader scout master scout master is that what it's called yeah which is most likely someone who was an eagle scout nick learned how to tie knots and also got fucked in the ass when he was a young boy oh god no actually that's not funny i don't know why i left i went went into Bear Cubs, and I didn't have a male leader who wanted to fuck me in the ass at all. In fact, it was Carl Perpich's mom, who was quite the bitch. I hate when that happens. He feels so left out.

I think he's just trying to be gainfully employed. Got it. So, fuck Wes, though. What is going on with you? Pat said that you have a very big announcement. Wait, what? It was going to be crass. I held back.

What is... Pat said that you have a very large announcement, a sizable one. Well, she's moving somewhere. Oh, yeah. So my plan was to stay in California the whole summer and just freelance here, which right now, for some reason, there's a ton of work, which is why I'm so tired right now, because there's not a lot of yacht crew, especially in San Diego. There just not got it um so i've been working a lot the reason there's all this work available is because the the government and the powers that be are trying to

usher us into a wally-like existence where we're only fed ever all our necessities by screens tubes and something that's probably cooler suppository so continue to work yeah yeah so i'm working as much as i can just in case everything goes more to shit right um which it will yeah so i i was like i'm supposed to be on holiday but there's all this work i can't say no i'm a sea rat where you know we're poor right so um i was like okay at the end of july i'm moving to spain or like the beginning of august okay and just so happened that a friend of mine um that used to produce the podcast that I used to host said that I might have like a new partnership with a YouTube channel. What was that? Is going to be like they need like a YouTube rep for this company to go look at yachts and travel around and stuff so okay so you are

perilously close to having a real job is that what you're saying yes so i have to like kind of live this up while i can that's really fun and you have to move to spain to do that yeah yeah well i wanted to anyways i i love it there yeah so uh what part of spain mallorca yeah mallorca my guest okay but they say it a lot on the shows yeah you know my my wife cecilia and i went to just the most lovely spanish restaurant on sunset the other night and it's called bar maruno and um man what a vibrant and unique menu um tinned fish is very important to spaniards so they have a lot of sardines, tuna belly, toast and butter and pickles. And anchovies.

Where on Sunset? Sunset and like in our neighborhood? Yeah, in our neighborhood across the street from Bakery. Oh, nice, nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just a lovely restaurant. Okay, so you're going to be up in Spain's guts.

Probably still working on yachts if this youtube thing doesn't pan out right i still have to talk about the logistics and then i'm in contract and all this stuff but there's also another show that i've been asked to be a part of you're gonna get in trouble by saying this no i didn't sign any ndas i just just can't say which network and what the show's really about. But it has to do with a company I worked with before Below Deck. They got their own show. And they just want me on it, but they have to work all that out. So there's stuff.

It's not the love boat with Hannah Farrier. No, but I did get approached for that show. Really? Yeah. Did you guys see that? No. Hannah Farrier is producing your own uh well i don't know i didn't know hannah was behind it i got hit up by a producer when it was like in pre-production

there was it wasn't even sold yet to a network they just you know how they say like a large network is already interested and you're like okay which one and then they won't tell you like another podcast they're like lifetime it's always bullshit. You can never tell. Adult Swim is ironically playing a below deck offshoot at 3 a.m. And I was like, I don't want to do a dating show because I had already been asked to do Naked Afraid, the dating version. Oh, yeah.

That's one of Pat's favorite shows. I love it. Dating naked. Dating naked. Yeah. I got approached that. I didn't want to do that either. I was in L.A. for seven minutes. I got approached that. I didn't want to do that either. I was in LA for seven minutes.

I just got my weed card late 2014. I went to an open mic on Sunset, or actually on Melrose. And yeah, they approached me. I called home. I was like, they're already asking me to be on TV. They want me. Yeah, yeah. But I have my morals.

I did not date naked. Yeah, that was a really weird time. I was getting calls all the time about different shows. And I was like, how did these people find me? I haven't been really that involved in entertainment in years. Nor was I pursuing it. No, I need one. Help.

I'm shocked that Bravo probably fights people off. Because you'd think CA would like go all right the entire cast of below deck this season let's just grab them all i'd have to be a bulk buy because i don't think ca is too interested in plucking individual oh they are they would do it well obviously they aren't but uh if they did they'd go all right let's grab those those bravo contracts must be so like foolproof that they're like, there's no money here because they'd love to grab you and four other people and go, let's see if we can negotiate a spinoff. Sure. Yeah.

Only the stars of the shows get that type of treatment. And also I heard through the grapevine that most of them use the same agent. Yeah. That's what I was talking about. Yeah. That's what I was talking about. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

For the bachelor below deck is becoming like bachelor nation in like, there's so many of you. There's so many seasons success in your own right. Once you leave the show, but there are people make an whole industry out of like leeching off. You guys, Lori K is a really good one. She represents so many of the bachelor nation stars.

We could be them for the below. Lori K, Lori K, Lori K publications. Interesting. Yeah. really good one she represents so many of the bachelor nation stars we could be them for the below lori k lori k lori k publications interesting yeah she kills it gabby we follow each other i have some questions for you and i don't think we'll get in trouble with uh bravo pr uh because we're not talking about the show actually i i always wanted to be a reality tv star i'll open confession i i almost got a show pulled off uh like uh eight years ago it didn't happen um did you get to experience that like have people recognize you in san diego yeah and i i felt kind of felt attacked when dylan was like or you i think me somebody said oh yeah you do the show just so you can get recognized at like the airport for like and i was like that sounds like pat probably said that considering that's why i would not say that i totally did because and i and i was

like i feel attacked because i mostly get recognized on airplanes or the airport when i don't want to talk to people right i look like shit it's never at a party where you're like i'm ready to meet people it's always like i'm fucking tired and then someone walks up to you like, hey, were you on that show? It's like, I'm trying to eat a fucking bagel. Yeah, I don't mind the people that say, like San Diegans, the boring little town. I feel like they don't get that impressed, right? They're like, whatever. In San Diego, it's like, are you the girl from Bravo?

Are you the girl from Below Deck? And it's like, yeah. They're like, cool. And then walk away. They have fish tacos to go eat. Are you the girl from Bravo or are you the girl from Below Deck? And it's like, yeah. They're like, cool. And then walk away. Right. But then like. They have fish tacos to go eat. In St. Thomas, it was like, let's take pictures. Asking super personal questions and like wanting like all the back.

Like what? They sound like a podcast. Just like all the BTS stuff that I'm not allowed to even speak about anyways. And I'm just like, who do you think you are? And why do you think I would give you this information? Yeah. You're not Patrick. They might be from Project Veritas.

They're going to liquor you up and then fucking spill all your secrets about you. Probably. Gabby, as a finder of the show, you secretly got to live out my dreams. You know, to see you get to be able to do that seems really fun. Well, now that this is all, like, finally done, pretty much, and I'm, like, I'm out on the other side like not out of the closet or anything just like okay i made it through i'm in a way better place than i was during filming and in the beginning of airing and i'm like okay that wasn't so bad but then i thought

about like the journey and i i'm like i think i was made for tv but also i was like well what's what does that say about me though I was like I was made for reality TV because when I lived here I did a pilot for a different show it was supposed to be like Vanderpump Rules but then it didn't get picked up for whatever reason but

I should show it to you guys one day it's really embarrassing but I'm like hilarious. Like the pilot but you kind of nailed it I mean you, you made it happen, Gabby. You went after it. You chased it. You got on it. And Bravo, if you really think about it,

especially the Below Deck franchise, Nick, you touched on it. It's fucking huge. It's huge. There's going to be a fifth spinoff in the fall, which I'm convinced Malia is going to be the captain of. Below Deck on land. People of Earth, it is time to talk about a lovely sponsor, Athletic Greens. I started taking Athletic Greens because gut-busting stuff was going on.

i just wanted i just wanted to cut it completely oh no no we have to we have to talk about it more i feel like that is the downside of be like the money is what i want from the fame i'm talking about a much younger self okay yeah all right i was in my 30s or early 30s and i all i want to do is be on tv because i was just chasing girls and yeah wanting to impress the people i went to high school with that's where my mindset was then fair enough it's kind of cool when like it always happens when i'm out with like a friend or a family member and they're like do you get recognized all the time i'm like no and then two seconds later someone's like oh my god gabriella and then i'm like and then they get their eyes light up and they're like oh they recognize you

and that's in that sense i'm like okay yeah okay i guess and you're not trapped in a box imagine being like i don't know robert downey or robert downey jr like he can't go out to a fucking restaurant you got like a little little little little and it's terrifying it's terrifying pat because the paranoia is like out of control i i've been having like stalker weirdos so dms i'm sorry i'll i'll ease up can you please how many accounts dude that that ban this account and all accounts they may make doesn't work i keep finding you no so gabby it's not dick pics you're probably being sent it's more like uh will you i've got a couple oh okay uh no but it's more like the scary things, like men, scary men, creepy people, just the paranoia.

Like if I do go out with my friends and decide to have a big night, I'm like, fuck, is someone going to see me out acting a fool and then record it and then post it in another below deck podcast group on Facebook? Interesting. But like, and they would. But then I'll take it out to its natural conclusion who gives a fuck well she does like but but yeah especially because you guys know how i liked to drink too much so now that's always on my mind like well at least i have something

holding me accountable i guess yeah right you know that's interesting you say that especially because i i'd love to see you on the show again. I feel like you haven't. I think there's an opportunity there where you come back and it'd be really fun. But yeah, if you go out and you do something stupid and someone films it or you get in a fight with somebody, brah was like, oh, that's too much for us, you know? I mean, Kate did go to jail for biting her girlfriend's ear off. That's true.

Oh, she's Teflon Don. And I get how the anxiety is real that that may happen but then once it like if it does then like just like what's what's the if you just like talk yourself through it like what's the downside of this oh it's like a little embarrassing i don't give a fuck about these people you like i don't know you'll be fine well yeah i'm sure i'll get over that but you know i'm still but if you black out at idle hour i'm definitely filming and posting but you definitely didn't do that when we we blacked out at um that one bar you took me to uh it was uh super fun what it was called employees only employees all right so um let's wrap up with a couple show related questions i

just want to say this dylan right before we get to those I love the book the bookend because we started off the season of yachting with uh Gabriella being a Facebook uh friend she was a plant a plant yeah and then we had a wonderful interview with her where she was really canon we had fun we knew you were on the show obviously you endeared yourself to your amazing and then we had a really fun season and feel connected with you and the show and now it's you know before you go off on your next journey to Spain we get to go out and have drinks with you and the show. And now it's, you know, before you go off on your next journey to Spain, we get to go out and have drinks with you, you know, on your last night. So what did you feel about that? Thank you.

That backstabbing bitch, Ashley, when she when I don't know if we asked you about this, but what came over you when you confided in her? Because that seems like a really dumb idea. She answered it. She didn't know how much she was backstabbing her. We did ask her that, right? Yeah. Also, maybe now looking back,

I'm like, maybe I was self-sabotaging myself because I knew she would tell her and I was so defeated. I just wanted to find a reason to get out of there. Okay. Forgive me for asking a repeat question. Okay. Second question.

I don't think that um people really realized how bad of a knock you took in that pool um with the knee daisy's knee when when rudy giuliani is the only one that can someone was arrested exactly so uh when we watched it was like oh wow she took a knee to the face but then when it was replayed on the. It was like, oh, wow. She took a knee to the face. But then when it was replayed on the reunion, I was like, holy shit. That was, I would have. Been pissed. Yeah. It looked like it could have broken your nose.

Well, yeah. Totally. Were you concussed? At that point, I was too drunk. We had been drinking since, what, 10 a.m.? Yeah. Didn't really eat until like 9 p.m. Right.

C-Rod. So, yeah. We were pretty messed up. So, you know, when you get hurt when you're drunk, it doesn't hurt as bad because you're more limber. Right. But I think I just got annoyed because no one was like, oops, sorry, and then I was told I was a fucking problem. Right.

I was like, oh, if you want, I'll show you a problem. You know, guys, there was this one time I was going to a wedding and my wife looked all beautiful and I was like, but what about this? And I pointed to this big big breakout i was having gosh have we all struggled with our skin like i have in that anecdote and that is why everyone needs apostrophe the sponsor of this episode apostrophe is prescription skin care that offers science-backed oral and topical medications that are clinically

treatment plan for five dollars and we thank apostrophe for sponsoring this podcast right but you know i thought about it later i did beat myself up a lot like a lot i think too much took too much responsibility for other people's bullshit sure um but then i thought back about like chef adam when he's punched west in the face when he was fighting over malia ashton nearly beating out the window of a car i'm like you know what i've seen people do way worse shit on the show. So you know what? It is what it is. Absolutely fine. And Ashton's like life coaching, so you'll be fine.

Yeah, he's teaching people how to hate women as much as he does. Gabby, I'll say as far as your run, I mean, I can't imagine you getting any hate. There's always hate because it's the internet and someone has favorites and whatever. But I think you had a great run. And I think your exit, a lot of people related to you, you're like, this is, everyone's had a job where you're like, this is too much for me. I'm out of here. I also was incredibly impressed by your ability to keep the high road

on the reunion when there's a myriad opportunity to fucking call Ashley a big skank. Right. But you were like, you did not take the bait. I, well, first, like crippling anxiety, first of all, which I think was a blessing in disguise because it kept me fucking chill. Also, I think.

Anxiety will do that to you. Not only did I take the high road on the show when I left and explained myself eloquently and it made sense. Right. This year, trying to keep my shit together. I know when the last couple times you guys saw me, I was wasted. I was still working through it. Yeah you like your journey to self-improvement is like

this yeah um but like ebbs and flows i'm really surprised with all the interviews and podcasts i've done i haven't really just completely become unhinged yeah you know and i'm like i'm at the finish line now and i'm like, fuck yeah, I did a pretty good job. You made it through the storm. Yeah. Last question, were you satiated with, or let me rephrase this. I have another, I have a final question. Okay, penultimate question. Did you text Gary to ask Daisy about Ashley constantly undermining you?

No. No. Was that shown? No shown was that like a big thing no no to ask gary to ask daisy why yeah because you because you could see you see where i'm going with this hilarious bit you're like hey gare i don't want to ask her but like can you ask like hey what was the deal with ashley constantly undermining like you know honestly i've learned in working with reality tv stars that even if you directly ask them a question to your their face they're not gonna tell you the truth anyways um i did however text gary after episode 11 or whatever that was after you were gone whoa that's crazy are you good like how are you feeling about this um are you okay oh yeah he's raped no response and then i've heard on like the pita party podcast that he was unfollowing me and we're not friends i was like what since when i just saw him in february last

time i came and saw you guys i was like okay that's fine i don't care and we all know pita party is natasha uh daisy it's ali it's ali daisy and whatever who cares but yeah so like throughout this whole process i've been finding out via other avenues about people blocking me or unfollowing me or whatever and it's i've stopped trying to figure it out i i just got to a point where i just don't care anymore i think gabby this is that zone where everybody's trying to hedge their bets and limit their liability. So it's not real friendships. It's more like, how do I get on next season and how do I not, like, fuck this up?

Yeah, but, like, it's just bizarre. Like, if someone's like, we're cool. Everything's great. I'm like, okay, cool. It's not like I text and call all the time and actually try to build a friendship. Sure. But then I hear, I mean, Marcos text me or DMed me right after the reunion. Like, hey, everything's cool. Congratulations for you and Wes.

Like when you guys are in L.A., please come into the restaurant. And, you know, water under the bridge. I'm like, yeah, I have no problems with you. It's all good. But then he blocked me. Yeah. Oh, he did block. Right after that.

So I just like I'm fucking clueless. I'm just done caring or trying to figure out. Well, we won't block you, Gabby. Final question from real Nicholas Davis. When you arrive at the pearly gates. Yes. And you speak to God. You asked me this before.

Guys, jump in the iTunes, write interviews, leave five stars, kind words. Let's go get some drinks. Gabby, thanks for showing up. Thanks for a great half a season. And we wish you well on your future endeavors. Oh, come on. Three quarters of a season. All right.

Permission to get the fuck off this boat. Gabby? Bye, motherfuckers. Thanks for having me. Thank you.
