And if I had heard it happen, I hope you know that's not the case and if I heard it happen I would have shut that down because I do not Do not have any patients. I don't like that word one. No, definitely not. I definitely I rarely ever say that word Welcome aboard another brand spanking episode of another below deck podcast. My name is Dylan. I'm settled up next to one real Nicholas Davis. Oh, hey, mateys. Paptors of podcast is over there behind my glasses. Permission to come on the pod, though.

Permission granted, soldier. Is that the new you should do that all the time? You can't do it every time. Why? Because it makes people uncomfortable. I mean, we'll talk about it. So asking anybody permission to get on my one on. And neither should admirable, what admiral Tonyiral Tony who we spoke to I think the episode will be dropping

Tomorrow so enjoy that and if you're thinking hey, they were really nice guess what could that possibly bring entertainment value Trust me you're gonna love it. It's an episode you an episode you need to listen to it's so funny You just mixed up the words admiral and admirable right because in six grade I did a book report on David Robinson Yeah, and I messed it up. They called him the admiral because he spent time in the Navy. That's what you joined Spurs so so late and I put on there He was the admirable because so many kids looked up to him I just completely made up that factoid so you're not alone, Dylan. That's all I'm trying to say. So I don't think I set that up correctly. We spoke to the charter guest, Admiral Dull.

Admiral. Admiral Tony. We talked to Tony and we talked. It's lovely wife, too. We're Commander. Portia. No. And we got to get this right their military people It's commander Tony Thornton and his admiral Porsche. No, I don't think it is Commander is definitely higher than Adam. I know these rankings though. They'll confuse you. I know what he said He called himself command. Oh, you can't know anything these days can you Nick? I do? Oh look at he's getting that our energy He's getting angry because he's disagreeing with it and I know he's getting that R energy. He's getting angry.

Because he's disagreeing with it. And I know he's the commander. Let's put $25 on it. Okay. I don't want to shake your sweaty palms, but it's $25. So I heard it's definitely not sweating. Yeah, definitely not sweating.

To public service announcements and cleanse ourselves of this nasty, nasty energy. Oh, can I go? Yes, please pay. Okay, below deck fans, I know you love us talking about below deck, but perhaps I can sway you to listen to us do something else, another piece of content. One of our best podcasts that we ever did was with recapping season one of the show Love Is Blind.

Yes. That was like two years ago, I think. We were waiting forever for there to be a season two. Yeah. And there it is. It drops February 7th. We will be recapping the entire season of Love Is Blind season two behind a season two. Yeah. And there it is. It drops February 7th. We will be recapping the entire season of Love is Blind season two behind a paywall

We're only gonna allow 1,500 people to this. We're only gonna allow 1,500 brave souls that want to hear us talk about that show and after that We're going to contact patreon's back-end team and we're gonna say I know that you don't have a feature like this

There's a feature like that. Oh really? You want to bet on it? No, I keep there is a feature you can limit We actually kind of insanity is this so go to patreon.com slash another podcast network listen a season two of Love is Blind It's our favorite show Of all time of all time that we recap.

Let's get in to a fan favorite show. Oh, also join us on Thursdays. Well, we get in the comments at the live premiere of the episode on YouTube, seven, eight central. It mixes around. It depends when it gets on. Just subscribe. Check our social media.

That's where you see when the premiere happens, but it was a blast last time. It really helped the numbers. We get in there, we talk to you guys, a lot of fun, so join us on YouTube. Pat, you got to join the YouTube premiere and chat it up with the baby birds. I was asking about you last week. Oh, okay. Yeah, I'll do that. Make sure you have a couple,

or at least a bottle of peanut oil. Definitely. Just figure those, done the job. Yeah. All right. So we got to get into the show and a fan favorite segment. Hope thoughts and not. Pat, what do you go first? You want me to go first. Yeah. Okay. I thought it was a decent episode, mainly because we have this wonderful thing when you say something on a reality show. Uh, you, you, you've been able to discern it. What happens to it?

Well, and then we get to go back and look at the tape because they actually had cameras there and microphones. Yeah. We were filming you the entire time. Right. So when you tried to deny a particular thing you did, we can rewatch it. The action's been immortalized already.

Precisely. There was a couple of those. And he's not looking too good. We not looking too good. This made me, I never was a fan of Lee. I don't know if I've expressed that on the show. Kinda got into it with Tony and Plutcher. I feel like-

How much I can't stand Lee, Captain Lee. Through context. Through context closed. I've been- How much I can't stand Lee, Captain Lee. Through context- Through context closed. I've- I've- Context clues, I've been able to gather that a bit. I'm not a fan. Not a fan.

Okay, after this episode, if you still likely as a viewer of this show, you're a fool. Or- This man showed his- His true stripes on this- How we handled this. He does everything in his- Out of his way, to fucking micromanage these people already making three people,

three separate souls, poor gasoline into a thing, busy into that. Yet, when brought with actually a real issue, where a leader is needed to step up and actually handle things, you go do it. If she's happy shining railings and she's over it it's all good yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah no it's essentially like him taking a 10 foot pole and going here you know and then taking a shit and playing fruit ninja and eating Cheerios well the man the man loves to have control and invite people up to wherever he sits up there and plays a crew of Russian, Ninja, all day or whatever.

And he loves to hand out plane tickets. But when someone said, there's an actual real problem here, he doesn't want any part of it. Way to go, Captain Lee, it's almost like you're not really a captain, but you just had a franchise of restaurants in Indiana and Florida and you sold fish tacos and then you got in this business at age 37. Hey Pat. Yeah, I mean zero Nick that was I was I was enthralled, but that was a long ass thoughts and not so I was one of the longest but and port Important and Porsche is gonna be so I rate she told you not to slander captain Lee and yeah

I hate it. It's lander if it's true's true? I'm positive, Nikki, all the time. I hated this episode. And I think it's just clear that despite the dysfunction of this crew, they're just running out of storylines. Hence why we've seen the N-word storyline last six episode. And I'm pretty sure the full season is only going to be 14 episodes. I think we only have two episodes left.

And then a reunion when in the last couple of seasons it's been 16 or 18 or 19. They're ready to write this off. Get on down under. I hated this 72 nights. Yeah. So, um, we just have a lot going on. Do we? And it's all pretty nasty. You know, the only real saving grace of this episode was the lovely Tony and Portia. And they're vivacious, beautiful energy. You know, but aside from that, it was just so nasty. Hey, you know, you got me thinking something, Nikki, about, you know, it really the n-word, being a major storyline here and not saying it shouldn't be, but it could have Perhaps easily been edited out you just basically don't show all the stuff going on behind the scenes You could just move along with it

But they featured it and it got me thinking as you said that I bet Heather had a chat with Eddie probably Right around the time that this was all going on and she's like I'm really concerned that They're gonna make a storyline on this and she's like, I'm really concerned that they're gonna make a storyline out of this and Eddie's like, they got plenty to work with. Yeah, little lo and bold. I believe that it's been eight weeks. Get the aluminum foil out though when you speak like that, okay? I believe, I'm maybe off to Donut as well because I believe that because the very first night when Reina brought it up to Heather the night she said it, she was like, I'm just trying to make sure you didn't get in trouble. And Heather went wider than she is already.

And I think was seeing into the future this backlash that she's now receiving. Yeah. From premiere on to this point, you know, it's like a super long version of 24 for Heather in her world. It's just like 25. It's like 25 or 25 and a half, 20, 20. And she is just, it's, we're just counting down to the world. I mean, the world is already rather, beep, beep, beep, beep. I love that. Disappointed in her.

I'm gonna start watching again. I only watch the first three seasons. I'm gonna start watching again. I only watch the first three seasons. I'm gonna start watching again. I only watch the first three seasons. I'm gonna start watching again. I only watch the first three seasons. I will be in full one hatred soon. I give it 75 pots. So like I said, lots going on. We've got a new stew on the block. We've got Captain League getting pissed off about eye rolling and not getting pissed off

about the N word being used. A new stew on the block, I believe, was the below deck episode title. Yes, it was and a good one at that. And all this is being kind of highlighted on our way to a dinner celebrating black excellence. So this should be a fun one for us boys to recap. Anyways, it begins where we left off with Raina and Tears about Captain Lee and Eddie being patronizing.

Raina says that she feels like she's being played with and I can completely understand her arriving at that. You know, the leadership towards her is very, very weird. They condemn her for eye rolling and then bring her up for a pat on the head after the anchor. It's insulting at worst and it's really weird and obvious at best. You know, so I understand why she's pissed off. One of the primary guests that is...

Melissa? Melissa. She's got water in her ear. She's got water in her ear. She needs to get her pancakes in bed. And what that means is that she is over being around people for the rest of the vacation. And we talked about this with Tony and Porsche. It just reminds me what a waste of money this is because we've talked about it being the

worst vacation callous times. I still feel that regardless of what any charter guest tells me because they paid to be on reality TV, which is, they're all a little weird. But imagine you're just not feeling it. You know, you're on vacation. Is something happened last night or you're a little hungover?

Your jaw wear, your shot. Your jaw is wired, shot. And you kind of muster up the reminder that while you may be on vacation with way too many people, you're still on vacation and you get out of bed and you put the makeup on and you walk upstairs to a bunch of fucking union dudes with cameras and comfortable footwear on and you're like, why the fuck are we here? I like this theory Dylan because not once and this is going to be for the video go to

YouTube search another below deck podcast. not once did I see Melissa go Not once I was trying to shake water. I'm a year for the people that go to YouTube another Bodeck podcast not once did I see that no and that's how I'll do you get water? Are you all you have to do is take a role duct tape and kind of Asteroest your ear open don't meet in the middle, you know, keep it wide open, and just take a hair dryer, and just blow dry, or stick a bit cap, a pen in your ear,

and everything's fine. She can fix it very easily. We're a plunger. See anybody. So Heather is overwhelmed because she has so much that she offered to do, to do. But fear not, the new thirds do is going to save the day, which is not really how this show works, but we'll see.

Need a meanwhile. Meanwhile. A couple Tony moments, what a guy. There was a point where Tony said that Rachel might try to fucking kill them for asking for craps. Did you guys catch that? No. They must have really gotten freaked

to fuck out last night with her song and dance at dinner. Dance so funny. Tony also sees some spots of blue and being a real captain says, you know, essentially tell the captain to stop sleeping. We can get moving now. We've been here for three hours too. All right, before we move on, let's take a quick break to talk

about a wonderful company that is Green Chef. Guys, enjoy your greens. While being green, Green Chef is the most sustainable meal kit in the world offsetting 100% of their plastic packaging in every box and 100% of their carbon footprint and emissions. Did we mention that it is absolutely delicious with fresh produce, premium proteins and organic ingredients you can trust. Green Chef is the number one meal kit for eating well.

It's saving Pat's marriage. He's no longer going to Wahoo fish tacos in Burbank, California, five minutes before they close and getting screamed at by the employees because his wife needed him to go get some fish tacos on a Sunday night. He's making green chef. Hypothetically, the bird. Yeah. Except for Sunday when she dispatched me at 730 while the Steelers and the, who are the

hell they're playing the Jesus. Can't say Jesus was facing off, but listen, that game did need to be watched in the West. At that time, I pointed to it, it was tied, zero to zero. And yet, I get sent out six miles away from my home. I actually did a video of it, how pissed I was in the car. And then someone honked at me because I had my lights on

so you could see my beautiful face as I was bitching about my wife for sending me to get food on a Sunday night, although it is a lovely restaurant in North Hollywood called Soda recommended to everybody to have a beautiful barbecue chicken wrap. Anyway, it didn't taste as good as green chef. No, it doesn't. And listen, don't run out into the dead of night

facing down all the people driving on these wacky roads all over the country. Oh, you have to do that. That's recording a six minute video where it's an unbelievably dangerous road. Well, then I was scared my wife would find it and my phone so I deleted it. I was just going to ask you if we could post that to Patreon. Oh, you have to question.

Great meme miles by the way Did you yell it? Yeah, did I call for one? Yeah, okay great. Are you I? So we have to get to the tough pot for Eddie. And when I say tough, I mean close to impossible. Maybe not if you're like a diversity counselor, but for Eddie, this is quite literally an impossible situation for him specifically.

He suddenly, all the years in very concerned. Right. Someone got to him. So let's listen to this clip of a white guy confronting the reality of not reporting a racial HR issue all while being filmed. Is that okay? Yeah, I'm okay. What happened?

I don't know. The hell is the situation kind of still bothers me? Can I talk to you about it? You say it shouldn't bother me, but I'm not. No, no, no. That should bother you. I know we said that's something that is I never heard it happening, and that's absolutely should bother you, and it's absolutely

uncalled for if that's what happened. And you need to address that. I mean, she apologized to me, like last time we were out, but it just doesn't feel right when, you know, just none of it feels right, that makes sense. Of course it does. It shouldn't feel right. You know, you don't think it would be talked to, like, or like, how to hear that.

I guess she wasn't going to talk to you, right? No. Well that's good. But, do you know what he did there? He called dipping the line. Oh, he's trying to change something. He's trying to pull out on docs. But...

There are a couple lines he says that actually, like, send a shiver up my spine the way they make me cringe. When he goes, and it's just like, you need to address that? No, Eddie, you need to address that. And yeah. You see, I dipped the line. It's not the usual one. And she didn't call you it did it, so it's like kind of just, she was just singing a song.

She didn't like call you that one, right? She just said it, yeah. You know, diversity training gets shit on quite a bit. I've never seen someone need it more than Eddie. I heard my neck trying to shake quite a bit. You shook it pretty aggressively, but I don't think Eddie is a bad guy. He just is, he is completely out of his excuse.

He just has, he literally has no idea what to say and more importantly, what not to say. But let me just give you a couple, don't say this, okay? Don't say, don't talk about dipping the line, first and foremost. Also, don't tell her that you're going to find her every chance you get and force her to keep talking about this when she's told you. I don't want to talk about it anymore. Also, don't talk about dipping the line. And there

are a bunch of other like more serious ones like don't offhandedly accuse her of lying. Um, none of this ends well. She literally ends the conversation by jumping over board into the water. It reminds me of which actually I think they need to show more of. That's cool. These people are, I mean that's like being a Navy, jumping off the boat because he got an unhook and Jetsky loved it. But you mentioned how he shouldn't clip the line when he's talking to her about these serious issues. I don't know, I think this is actually kind of savvy. It reminds me of the Bill Burb bit where he's talking about how you raise your kids and

give them your ideas. You don't just like talk to them and sit down, they don't want to hear that. You play catch with them. That's when you start telling them all the ideas that you have in your head and you just shove them into their head. Yes, like a great scene. You can't just have two people talking. It rarely works.

You have to have them doing something for the dialogue to really pop off the screen for the actors to really pop the dialogue. Hence hot ones. But what I take issue with is Eddie calling attention to the fact that he is dipping the line and the type of knot that he is tying.

Not right now. Not right now. Well, he's thinking the more... But that's all joking aside, that's a fourth on the list of shitty things that he said to R. It's bad training, and also I think there's a little bit of trying to cover for coworker, i.e. Heather. 100%. A peer because he could possibly get her fired, which is why this never makes it up to Lee, but we find is it doesn't really fucking matter Even if you do tell the buck where the buck stops with Captain Lee

He doesn't give a fuck either and doesn't do anything about it. He wants to push it off like a fucking hot potato, too Yeah, now one thing here actually I Discussed this with my wife last night. So my wife was thinking with Raina how Rain is upset and it is kind of affecting her work and rightfully so she's upset But my wife said when he said would you like to talk to Captain Lee and she said no, I'm just I don't want to talk about This episode is brought to you by Klavio the platform that powers smarter digital relationships With Klavio you can activate all your customer data in real time Connect seamlessly with your customers across all channels guide your your marketing strategy with AI-powered insights, recommendations, and automated assistance.

Well, three actually. You can quit, which isn't fair. Or you can push it down and not deal with anymore

because it's affecting your work if you can. Or go up and talk to Lee. Those are your three choices. You're choosing to do none of them. I think the answer is she can kind of do whatever she feels comfortable with. She can do whatever she wants. But hold on. To a certain degree. But hold on to a certain degree,

but she doesn't have, she is the lowest person on the totem pole here. She doesn't have the confidence in this environment to take care of herself. And your managers are there to protect the boat, don't embarrass the boat, but they're also there to help you in situations like 100% I agree with you Eddie should have 1000%

But we don't need to get into the specific specifics of it. He should have 1000% done 1000% better and Ben a decent human being, but he just he doesn't know he needs diversity trade He needs a we need some HR training too. This is what you do from Patty as Patty, I've run some companies before. He goes and tells Lee, Lee calls Heather up, asks her what happened, Heather cops,

she would admit, she says all right, I'll talk to you in a minute. You have Raina come up, whether she wants to talk about it, she doesn't, she's not talking about it, all right, then it kind of ends there. Raina comes up, ask her, Raina, I'm sorry, this happened to you. I'm gonna write it up a report on Heather

Is it possible for you to work for her if you don't feel comfortable? We can we can have a move talk to Raina And of story and you then you write in the room you force Raina to sign something saying she's cool with everything Yeah, of course. That's what you do. That's what every that's upper man That's the via-com playbook right there. But the thing that was really, really missing other than these two giving a fuck about this was something you mentioned. Why is Heather not spoken to about this by anybody? What in God's name is wrong with Lee and Eddie, really lowly to not address the issue with the person who dropped the N word.

I mean, I'm sitting here looking at this like, it's what is fucking wrong with you. And by the way, I don't wanna sit up on my fucking stool or whatever and look down on everybody or whatever like I know better or whatever I definitely want to handle this your high horse my high horse Nick is captain Lee catching any flack on this on the so she's for this behavior Yeah, and he's like he's not taking it lying down like last week people were giving a shit And he's like I like he he live tweets every episode like I mean everything he is just basking the line like last week he was saying oh by the way I didn't even know it at this point well this week you did do it and you didn't do shit right and how's

he tweeting on the episode I'm I actually am busy I missed his tweets he's been busy again the man if he didn't love basking and making people feel uncomfortable, up talking to him in the control room. He's like, oh, okay, but he's not being consistent here. I did see one tweet where he said, and this is where I find out. But then I did. Well, listen, and then what you do, Lee, then what you do, and the whole thing reeks to, you know, so Eddie goes up there and he's prying the information out of Eddie. Um, which you're gonna head yourself now. No, I'm here. So he's, he, this information should be willingly and quickly coming out of Eddie, but somehow

it's still not. Eventually, though, Lee does get it out of him, but after an answer that would usually suffice with Lee, Eddie goes, you know, Reina and Heather have a thing. Usually, we would hear Lee say something like, well, tell him to sort out or I'm going to eat their ass, you know, and that would be that. You know, he doesn't want to deal with women, coral, like, you know, but this time, you got a tip.

This time, he knows to pry a little bit further. This scene felt like Michael talking to Fredo. You know, like there's, he knows what's going on. And in a usual suspects type twist, Lee finds the word offensive and doesn't do anything about it. So, uh, Eddie was like, Eddie was like, I'm not going to say what she said. Yeah, Eddie's like, I'm not gonna say what she said. Yeah. And he's like, you have to lose weight. Then Captain Lee basically was like, oh the word I use all the time. That's how he knew he goes beyond the end bomb. He stares out the window like Dr. Evil and goes, the end word.

It's just the whole thing was so cringe worthy. I also feel like when the cameras turned off, Eddie and him just held each other and talked about how scared they were.

I was in that men's group therapy thing

that I talk about all the time. There was this fucking guy, Jay, in there. All he do is hold court for 20 minutes in group therapy and everything was about his, his sexual escapades and he also had herpes and he'd always bitch and complain when the women would call him and say, hey, you gave me herpes and he felt he was in the right to do that. Anyway, I hated his guts and I'd have to sit for an hour and 15 minutes in that God damn therapy session when I could have just had better help be by myself and my own thoughts with a licensed therapist and working my shit out. I wouldn't have to sit next to Jay. It's better without Jay and it's better at betterhelp.com.

Bam. Slash below deck. All right. so Melissa and her husband will not be joining the rest of the team on the beach picnic. They are wet blankets. They are wet blankets. So. She got an infection on her. You're a ****. Now down on those muscles to take a shit on them

and it's got a ****. Gonna have to bleep a good amount of that. Yeah, I think so. It's such a weird thing to bring along a wet blanket on your luxury vacations. But they brought too. Super bizarre. So as the guests hit the beach, Kaley hits my Sienna.

We'll get a redemption from Frazier later on in the episode. But at this point, he's still very, very much caddy and insecure. He says, I've earned my place with Heather. And that line made me really kind of sad because I was like, why, why did you Frazier like that? I've earned my place with Heather. It's the power of the stripes.

Who doesn't she cast a spell on people where they just mentally bow to her. I don't understand it, Frazier. You're a king, don't bow to Heather. I don't understand it Fraser. You're a king don't bow to Heather Dylan She has three stripes on her shoulder. He has one Donning TFC and Also not believing how it's fed to us as we're supposed to do I think nothing happened in this season

So they're prodding him after the fact to say these things in these interviews like he's he's like, oh, I was so uncomfortable with the whole, but he said that one thing they got over it. And we're going to talk to Fraser. We're going to talk to him. It's a spill the beans. But now it's like laser. All right. So Kaylee does hit the boat, describes a very, very sad dynamic between her and Heather,

almost lending credence to the theory that I'm pretty sure that Heather is a fucking witch. She says that her relationship with Heather is like Heather standing in the center of a spotlight in her in the back, barely illuminated, and she's fine with that. That break your heart? Sounds like she was in the film 20 feet from startim. Yeah, yeah.

It was an odd thing to say, but I weirdly believed her. I really like her. I feel like she's not gonna add anything to the mix. I'm getting a lot of ashling vibes. You remember ashling? Oh, yes, she was a four. She was hard working and competent and just chill. Yeah, so no TV time for Kaylee. Unless she fucks Jake if she's smart. All right, so meanwhile. Meanwhile. Cornel drinks and a little prep for Val Renewal. Um, we also get Jake Winking at Kaylee, um, at the, the mess that they're, uh, gonna be parting tomorrow, which is a little, uh, little much, a little soon, but, uh, a little more

meanwhile, I guess we've got Jetskies, the guest, uh, was on the, uh, at the beach picnic, I mean, that was so much more fun than The silent disco people had these people are some I was actually like oh, I want to do that Yeah, they're better people drinking cornhole, right? Yeah, they're normal people. That's classic Midwest Yeah, they weren't all of victims of a strange tyrant who couldn't speak really All right, so Jetskies the guest get back and Fraser meets his mortal enemy that did nothing to him. Anything else, or can we get to serious time?

Can I first, it's Lee, he's lamenting about how upset he is, he has to do the Val Renewals. Yeah. Hey, I got the tape of him. Who the fuck needs Val Renewals? I'm Lee. I suck. Extreme self-awareness by the man. Yeah, he's doing better. He's growing. So we get some more in need of training stuff from Eddie. He sits back down with

with I just I can imagine him in a room with one of Robin D'Angelo's acolytes and she's like she's like playing back this show and she's like now here is where you heard her say that someone used the N word around her and you told her that it was your purpose to steer the conversation back to how she was disrespecting you that day. Now we can't do that moving forward. Can we, Eddie? It would be, it would be humiliating for it, but I do think he needs to learn these lessons. Holy shit. All right. So,

I'll, well, I was going to say, so with that conversation, Eddie, this must be on top of his mind. After that initial conversation didn't go the way he wanted. I think he's used to these things just kind of smoothing things over. Yeah, they're nice and white and usually about like fucking each other when you're, yeah, or people getting pissed off and bossing us. He feels very comfortable, because for some reason,

Eddie is one of the stars of this franchise. Right. And I actually have come to the conclusion. I don't really have that much wrong with Eddie. No, he's been on ice cream. He's not a stutter. No. He fucked one girl in a laundry room and he's suffered life.

And Tally said he ignores someone complaining about hearing the Edward. Yeah, let's see. Can we, do you mind playing the clip of the conversation where he said she tells him, I think you kind of brushed it off. Sure. And then he responds, and I couldn't do a justice

by recapping it. We should just play. Good job. Serious time. Oh, you knew. I don't want you. Well, that's too bad. We're talking.

I understand what happened between you and Heather was completely uncalled pork, and I have your back on that 100%. It bothered me more, because I feel like I came to you because I was just like not in the right head space. I was kind of looking for you for help and you kind of shut it off. So then I made you feel like I can't even really

trust my boss. I guess you. But I hope you know that's not the case. And if I had heard it happen, I would have shut that down because I do not have any patients. I don't like that word one day. Definitely not. I definitely bad excuse for it. I rarely ever say that word right now. But then I when you and I were talking you came to me to apologize about being disrespecting me. I was trying to have a conversation with you and that's what I

wanted to do. So let's put this back on you. It's been terrible timing and that's my fault. That just feel like I was trying to overpower with the hell of my apologies. No, I wasn't trying to do that, but it was To say he's walking on eggshells is an understatement like he's John McLean He's walking on fucking glass right now, but he's no hero. He is not All right, so Kayleigh is introduced to the hedonism of this crew Jake is speaking of fucking and watching Rat Race with Rainer or something.

What an... In oral sex. Oh, sea rats. Yeah. So fun. We love this show. I haven't said, like, I've kind of said I don't like Rainer, but we are together on Rat Race, huge Rat Race fans,

star-studded cast. You got Cuba Gooding Jr. It'd be fun. John Lo Amy's everybody's in that movie yeah uh shot Seth Green it's it's great yeah and they go to silver city in a race all the all the biggest B-listers of the 2000s it was probably 2000 yeah so um uh love Rachel's definition of Japanese excellence you know they're not trying to reinvent the wheel, but they're always they know that you can get closer to perfection. And that culture is picked up the mantle in pursuit of that. I love that line too.

Yeah, it's just it's beautiful. It's like bio worthy. Don't try to reinvent the world. The wheel. Just make it more perfect. Yeah. We all know that we all know that perfection is an unachievable station. Nonetheless, you know, earnest improvement. You're gonna be on rice for five years.

Yeah, I'd quit. GRO. All right, anyways, so Lee heads out to greet everyone and is given the responsibility to let the war veteran be seated. I'm sure that that even made Lee feel uncomfortable. I know it's like tradition. He perpetuates it.

For the audience, we discuss it with our interview with Commander Tony and Admiral Portia. Thank you. Got these backwards. Okay. with commander Tony and uh... admiral Porsche think that the backwards it is acknowledged that lee is in fact not a vet okay right unless boot camp was working a fish taco stand in indiana for better part of his twenty thirty weird boot camp a hundred percent what he never served in the military yet if you watch this show the camaraderie between the two of them, you'd think that he had.

And he doesn't dissuade anybody from that thought. Well, I never, you know, I never wore the real stripes, you know what I mean? No, he perpetuated, like you said, because he was like, he threw out this like old adage of the Navy as if he lived it. We used to, you know, starve out there. Oh, really? maybe as if he lived it. We used to, you know, starve out there. Oh, really? You eat when you can?

You sleep when you can? We don't have plans. What was that, Lee? When was that when you were going to school to drive this boat? Who's we? You got to turn your packet? See what a liar this guy is.

OK, so I think we've covered that. Really, specifically, that example I had, might know what's in the bottom of the go. So, Lee, no. We talked covered that. Really specifically that example I had. I don't know what to do. So Lee, no, we talked about that. So we bounced between dinner and Fraser is kind of reconnaissance session. Oh, so who are you dating?

Don't you know what to do? Let me get some dirt on you so I can have you get that on my inner day. Have you ever brought drugs on a boat? How do you feel about cocaine? How many people have you slept with on board? So are you seeing a psychiatrist or any type of physician who may prescribe you something

and you think it cleared the boat? Tell me darling, do you secretly think how there's really a bitch? You just pulled that loose bag of like white tick-tax from her bag? What is this? Bitch. All right, so, um, anything else What is this? Bitch. All right, so, anything else to you guys?

You guys wanna cover or can we get to dinner? Well, Kaylee's definitely thinking about sitting on Jake's face, and of course she is, where else would she sit? Not next to West, that's for sure, he's way too dicey. Your heart will be broken, you are a whole. That was a very interesting thing I gleaned when she hinted at the loving the mustache.

It was in an OTF and she had a glass of wine in her hand. We've never seen that before, but I feel like they love that line so much. They didn't want to cut them out, but they booze them up when they're talking to us. I think we might have heard about that from someone. Why do you think Frazier didn't say, I do you think this is too much face paint?

Who shit faced? So anyways, dinner will be clean, dinner will be delicious. Cinemono? Well, listen won't be there, she's gotta take a shit. She's eating cheese it's and watching something on Netflix. Honey, do you wanna go up? No. So? Maybe she's watching rat race.

Cinemono will be cucumber and seaweed salad with sesame and mirin, a timeless and very sexy dish. We find out that Captain Lee drinks apple juice and soda, obviously, obviously. Next up we've got red and white miso, fascinating to see those two different colors and two different flavors of miso kind of dance in that bowl the way that they did. Next up is egg and eggs, you know, poached eggs and etc. Just indulgence, you know, and like in sea major, I mean it's a beautiful dish. Next up we've got rice cake and bonito.

Can't imagine that tasted very good. I didn't see much aside from a block of crispy rice and dried tuna flakes, which creeped Lee the fuck out. He's like, why is this? Why is it moving? Calm down, Lee. He pulls out a gun and shoots. Just drink your fucking apple juice, child. and he pulls out a gun and shoots.

Just drink your fucking apple juice, child. Then, he says, if I get north of Boke, I get a nose bleed. And we, I guess the palette cleanser I have written now, is that Melissa once again hits the deck. I think she stops in the middle of dinner. She says, I can't take anymore. I have to find out what happened

on that Netflix show I'm watching. Then, it's going around the boat. I had there says that the way that Melissa's being affected right now by her ailment could result in them losing tip money. And I was thinking, I think you saying that she has no fucking idea What her husband is allergic to I think that's more the reason our call and her a cranky bitch That might affect the yeah, I think there are a couple more higher on the list So we round everything out with a rather tame

Seared ahi and a matcha ice cream with panicotta. And can I just say, everyone needs to bow down to this woman because what are your tips without her? Seriously, what are your tips without these meals? Heather's probably gonna get drinks flowing, but this is art ripped from across the Pacific Ocean and put on a plate in front of these people. It's 92 pots, she's absolutely magnificent. She's just magnificent.

And you know what I was thinking about Rachel, given what she was up, the task she was put up to on the previous charter, having to technically serve two meals for every service with tensile teeth. Right. When you compete at that level, she'd never classify lobster. Exactly.

So when you have your next charter guest or your next game, and it's not that challenging She of course go fucking hit the park. This is nothing to her. Yeah, she's not blending oysters, right for tinsel teeth guys This episode is brought to you by Missouri.

You know what's coming up? The Super Bowl? No. I do love having a clean shaven bush for the Super Bowl. Yeah, you're gonna be sitting a lot, but no The thing that I'm trying to get at is that that Corporate chill of a holiday Valentine's Day is coming up. You know roses are red violets are blue.

I don't think you have told the story before. Oh, well, anyway, I showed up at his house. I hadn't seen him in a couple of years. He was thrown his six-year-old's birthday with his wife there. He had nose hairs coming out at his house. I hadn't seen him in a couple of years. He was thrown his six-year-olds birthday with his wife there. He had nose hairs coming out of his nose. And I'm like, you know what? His wife hates him.

Love you happy Valentine's Day. Let's get back to the show. Let's get to the Val Renewal Pat. Do you want to take this one? I'll just say this.

I believe Tony probably wrote the words that Lee was hoping so because I was that Lee was looking over what looked to be a 45 word block of text and shredsing over it. He's a good reader. I was like, what did you write this? What are you so stressed out about? Read the 40 words. Give me my glasses. He's a good reader. Yeah. Really? It's not even a tweet. Lee. Just read it. My God. I will say this about Val renewals, particularly on reality TV shows. It's kind of like the curve. It's a curse. I don't you dare put that evil on Tony important. I don't think but I would have worn them against doing this. I'll name a couple

reality TV people. Vicki Gundle, Sin and Don. They renewed their vows. Next season, they were divorced. And then Vicki Gundle, Sin and the next person. Tamara, Judge, also on Orange County. Renewed her vows. Next thing you know, her husband's in the Pokey because he threw the dogly, Shatter Chesh,

she called the cops out and put a jail for two days. That's ugly. So I've been talking to her 18 year old daughter anymore. Who's reality TV does some damage? Sharon Osborne, and Ozzy Os Osborne, sure he's still alive, but barely, they renewed their vows in season two of the Osborne's. He went off ran off with his hair,

a dresser for a year and started banging away at her. Okay. Just don't do it. You think Sharon had something to do with that ATV accident? No, of course, first. First. I have wine, but it's not really. Whoa, holy shit. Holy shit. I have wine, but it's not really.

Whoa, holy shit. It's not. I have wine, but it's not really the curse. It's matchermony, and my Uber driver on the way here, David, he was in the show for better, for worse. And it's where your friends plan your wedding, and he got married to someone he was already engaged to so it's actually not that crazy but 14 years later they got divorced.

Okay so I hope that Lee did not have to fucking write this. I said that already and I don't think he did. So love, black love. Let's get to Eddie and Lee botching this shit some more. Yeah. Listen, if you want to be, what's up? I was gonna say, he was like, hey, cap. Who do you, she's got the fucking goal to say I'm brushing this off? Listen, if you want to be all maritime lawy about this and say, you know, if the job's getting done fine,

don't go on the internet for a while and it's a horrible thing you're doing. But for the sake of human decency, like I said, would you at least pretend like you know what you're doing or that you care? Again, why is Heather not spoken to about this at all? For just to get the full picture of things, not let alone her being completely deserving of sweating this out a little bit. I can understand someone saying that's not very productive and if they're not going to do anything about it, there's no real need to.

But I mean, my God, at least, I just, the horse is dead and I'm just, I continue to hit it. Let me book and should have been spoken to. Let me book hit it. Let me book and should have been spoken to. Let me book and Lee, if you're listening, you're a loser. You're a fucking loser. You're so old and you should know better. Go sock it Lee.

End of story. Holy shit. He has venom in his heart tonight everybody. But rightfully so right now I call this guy a weak loser fake captain for four years. Finally everyone's coming around to it All right So here's here's their problem though Eddie and and Lee In like a real yachting scenario

This is like going super far with HR the fact that they discussed it in real life They'd all pressure rain it into quit and they'd move out. This is like them doing a lot. They'll put some fish underneath their bunk. All right, so moving on to the next day. Next morning, the guest the part, Claudia gives Rachel her pen, which was so swell. These guests were just incredible people, Sans Melissa,

who, you know, I was talking to my wife about it. She had every right to be as upset as she was the other night at dinner, but there does, you reach a tipping point where you're just being patchyland and you're being an asshole. I've been that person countless times. Things are shitty at the restaurant. And you just hang on to the fact that things were shitty

for like a half an hour or two, an hour longer than you need to. And if I was more zen, I could probably move on, but I can't, because I'm childish in an asshole sometimes. We all are dealt. And also, let's give her a break, she's on vacation, maybe at home, she's anxious at home, she could be a sweetheart, nice lady,

but yeah, on this trip, see I censored myself. All right, so, can I do a meanwhile? Yes, of course. Meanwhile, Frazier refers to Kaylee's pussy as a fish purse. Fish purse, yep.

And they check out the bidet, which is a disgusting disgusting bathroom, a piece of bathroom equipment. I find it absolutely deplorable, reprehensible, disgusting to use those things. And Europe thinks that we're insane for filling up landfills with our toilet paper. I don't know who's right, but I'm not squirting water up my butt. You know, numerous times, perhaps a day a week, you know, I have

a lot of bowel movements. I can't shoot water up my butt. I'm not prepared for that kind of thing. It feels like royalty. You got to clean up back there. The Europeans have it right. But does it go in your bubble? It's not, it's there to splash a little warm water. Because it looks like it's getting clean enough? No, you gotta finish up. You still gotta finish up. It's another added cleaning thing. Because the logic stands like,

you just wipe something, if you got docks on your hands, you wouldn't just wipe it off with a paper towel, you would wash your hands. Good point, Nick. But that's not washing your hands. That's just running your hand under the faucet for a little bit.

That's why I think, which I've never done, but who knows, may start doing it. What a weapon. Where wipes, I got them. I use them every time. We need to be sponsored by Dude Wipes. Hey, dude, I add for Dude Wipes. Get out of it.

I just need dryness. I've been doing it for a long time. It works. I don't need water up my ass on a Tuesday afternoon I would need pizza off your asshole after you've been back there. You know what I mean? I would need pizza off your ass Oh, yeah, good. All right, so We got to move on tip meeting to the tip meeting pal. I take it on 25k 20 is that the record here fucking K. No, it's tied's tied for the lead. I don't think we've ever topped 25.

But 27 seven each. I feel like we, I'm having deja vu and we, I looked it up and it was like 26, 25. Another insane thing happens here with old Captain Lee, your favorite. He pulls a wild one and he um, I think he makes donating to Kaylee voluntary. In front of everybody.

Did you pick up on this? He pulls out a definitely a lighter, uh, lighter envelope and then says if you guys want to chip in, you can't peel some off. He did tell people voluntarily kind of Lord of the fly. Shit is that. But that's an improvement because we made the the rags having a Riley on here who joined the mill of a charter and she got stiffed on the tip for that entire charter. There was no offer. He didn't peel a hundred

off. Sure. So this is an improvement. And then it's just means I was hearing in the Facebook groups, it was only $100. So $100 per person seems pretty fair. It looked like you peeled off a little bit more than that. It's better to give her something because she was working there. You don't have to give her a full tip, but you definitely don't need to make it very awkward around the table. Well, there's eight people on it.

And people started on everyone else to donate money to her. That's really fucking, it's a little microcosmic social experiment that he's running. He's a sick puppeteer. So you think the alternate he should just decree that you do give her some or no, if you're gonna give her some, give her some. It's not on everybody else. It's like there's gotta be an agreement about money.

Do you donate, this isn't, are you going to donate to St. Jude's? You're the boss. Just make a call. Give her the money or don't give her the money. That's what I was asking. That's the alternative. Yeah, no, you don't put it on your employees. So, um, we have to go to a night out. Fraser is gonna be that bitch. And Jake is gonna be that bitch too. He asks Heather for her thong Wow Really weird, well, I'll get to him a little bit late. I know a little bit

He is only gonna be doing the show for three more minutes and in three minutes. I'll talk about I guess we'll just talk about it. He has such a fucking attention, and I'll tell you what it's the first night Kaleys out He's got to be as crazy as possible. That's where women's underwear as crazy as possible, and I'll tell you what. It's the first night Kalees out. He's gotta be as crazy as possible. That's where women's underwear. As crazy as possible, and I'll tell you what, I feel like hot people are the only people that get away with this. I think that if someone who is a six,

does this kind of shit like- They're arrested. They're arrested, people file work complaints. He has had his dick and his ass out every single night they've gone out. And at some point you got to just calm down and keep your clothes on when you go to a restaurant. Because he's definitely not embarrassing the boat. He's naked in a restaurant's water feature. The night out really has no snakes, but it has a lot of sweetness. We get more

rain looking up to Rachel wanting to cook. Love that. So does Eddie. He's like, get the fuck out of here. Go learn to cook something. And then we get Fraser in just a heartfelt admission of insincereity coupled with gratitude for how another person was behaving. It was just a really beautiful moment. Or nonsensical, Fraser. I think her nonsense. It's going on. I thought it was sweet. You've known her for 24 hours.

She could still backstab you tomorrow. 100%. Yeah, no idea who this person is. Head on a swivel, buddy. Head on a swivel. And cool it with the sauce there, pal, in the accolades. You don't know this person. I see your point, but I feel like you just know she's not a threat immediately.

She's actually, she's actually a threat. I didn't know it was coming in and you've just killed it in laundry and blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, we end the evening with the aforementioned attention we're jumping into the water feature of the restaurant. Very cool, man. Let's get your clothes on. Let's go home.

And then we end the evening with a very call me by your name kind of conversation between Fraser and Jake. There's a lot of love tension here between these. Well, they said they're going to be good friends forever. They're going to be best friends. Oh, sure. You will. Yeah. Fraser. He needs to keep you open. You are a whole to him. Friends forever means a bunch of voicemails on Jake's phone from Fraser. Hey, just check it in with. And vice versa. Maybe maybe a random face time and Fraser answers it. And he's just like, got appointed as dick. and then he pops up. He's like, what's up, man? Everybody's holes anyways jump in the iTunes ratings and reviews leave five stars. What's up?

Just one of the worst nights out of below deck at nothing hands-y dinner And I'm just itching for I hope next season on sailing There are people in these clubs that they're going to that's the the problem. Everything's closed down and they're private for COVID. Yeah. And so it's just seven of them and they hate each other. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Well, listen, man, it's a very dangerous disease.

So let's get into the iTunes ratings or reviews. Huh? Five stars. Kind words. What's up? Well, I was triggered at this thought by Nicky talking about how sometimes we occasionally get in the rags. You know what I mean?

Like they write about us because one of the people on the show says something bad about Captain Lee or something like that and it gets a Some press. Yeah, I don't know if I'm popular enough, but Whoever listens to this show and then writes about it on the cheat sheet or wherever you write it or whatever I don't know. Maybe it's a stretch, but how about putting Noel Patty in there and saying the host of another below deck podcast Called out captantly and called him a loser for his handling of the rain a situation and get us some press I was just throwing that out. Yeah, that would be great. You'll see it at your local galsons Just if I was editing it and I like saw that quick pass I'd be like oh no one of the hosts of another below

that. Yeah, there you go, Pat. Jumping out to the stranger and usually five stars, kind words, join us on Spotify, at least five stars there. No words needed.
