All right, so we kick things off with Alicia breaking down, and Captain Jason asks a great question. Have you talked to Ben about any of this? She says, no. I haven't talked to him. He scares me. But Alicia says you'd have a better boat if you had someone more skilled than me. And Jason says, Alicia, the point of this boat is to be as dysfunctional as humanly possible.

You're not understanding. Okay. What we want to do here is fail to resemble anything. semblance of luxury and we need you in your position order to do so you can't leave. Hello. Hello. It's a rainy day in Los Angeles. And when it rains, I get a little Jafari, you know?

I get a little, I get a little, you know what I'm talking about? No. I'm Dylan. That's Pat. Great to be here. Kenan is here as well. We're all in good spirits. The fighting is done.

VIP personality was Charlie Sheen. We did not get access to him, but we're still friends. Speaking of fucking Tiger Blood, this guy's really sucking down the Coors Light. Oh, wow. He's pretty comfortable with himself. Yeah, he's drinking on the drop. Like, did you ever think that the people that employ you might be like, wow, that's not cool? Did you ever think that?

We all came up in the same environment together. So this would be nothing new for the past 15 years or so. You know what? That's a great point. Why don't you just fucking fire, up a spoon and just, you know, I mean, it's crazy this guy. Speaking of which, I probably need to go grab a joint. Anyways, yeah, I should start drinking again.

We have a lot of stuff to get into tonight. And by a lot of stuff, I mean kind of a wall-to-wall recap of the third episode of this below deck. Dan Under episode. But first, public service announcements. Of course. Oh, my God. We are lighting up the interwebs.

with our coverage, recapping of Love is Blind season 10. People are loving it unless they're from Ohio. Right. I think it was Ruby that went a little hard. That's our co-host. It was me. Oh, it was? Oh, yeah.

There's nothing wrong with Ohio. People there are. No, there are. It's a flat and boring place. Oh. And I meant to say, I meant to say there is something wrong with Ohio. Right. Well, Ohio's lovely.

We've been, it's like, listen, L.A. is, What is L.A.? It's underwater right now. Yeah, this place is disgusting. That's disgusting. Right. You know that underwater level in Sonic with the music? No.

Pram, brum, brum, brum, brum, pump, pump, pump. That's what the zombies are going through right now. It's like a giant underwater sonic level out there. You're just trying to get out of the way of certain people. It's not good here. Yeah, that's not good here either. Well, anyway, we're covering that. And you head on over to patreon.com slash another podcast network.

we'll be covering episode 7, 8, and 9 this next week here. And then behind the paywall, we also have traitors. We got a few more episodes of that. Boy, that is just firing on all cylinders. Oh, love it. And then we got just around the corner, I guess we got the Bachelorette. And we've heard that the Bachelorette may have gotten pregnant while filming. And I had, wouldn't surprise me.

I'd suggest we actually have a baby shower during the overnights. Yeah. That'd be fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think the men would like that. Also, have you seen any Summer House yet? Just in passing. But I'm going to start picking it up.

Everyone has said we need to watch this. Kyle is an absolute douchebag I've heard this season. Well, well, I mean, just it's lovely. Honestly, Summer House right now is like Disneyland for children. For adults? Do you get it? What I'm saying? Like the way that kids,

like Disneyland is like me with Summerhouse. I get so excited about it. Okay. Maybe not quite, because I remember being a child looking at that Dumbar ride and thinking that I had gone to heaven. And I still feel that way. It's just the surrounding environment

is filled with people from fucking Ohio. So it's disgusting. Yeah. Yeah. But tonight, we have below deck. We have we've been crying.

we have Alicia quitting and we have the reintroduction or this is kind of like the return of the the Jedi of the Balkan Biscuit I feel like this is her third season yes this is her third stint yes her first stint was only two episodes it was okay it's cut short well I'm going to give my pots right now. Ben, I kind of oscillated between feeling really, really heartbroken for him and... Why would you feel that? He's earned everything bad that he's got... This is why I was oscillating.

So I was going between feeling really, really bad for him. And also, can I get a wet? Weh! I'm a drunk! I'm still hitting on girls way younger. than me. We're back on this boat. Oh. So I was kind of stuck betwixt in between those two. But yeah. Should have been on the show. We wouldn't been mocking you so much there, Benny. Then we get two wonderful new inclusions to this season. The review cards. Oh my God. And how about

learning about those charter guests? A little guest package. Nothing says filthy fucking rich like polo. Oh, for sure. Hey, I'm so fucking rich. We all own horses here. Hey, I got nothing to do all day. Hey, why don't we hit a ball around? If you're like, if you're really into polo and not, you're not one of the surfs that is, that are hired to, you know, work the horse and play the game. You're one of the people that own the game. Yeah. Hey, Gunther, get over here. I need to step on your back to get up on my horse.

Right. If you're one of those people, you're into eugenics. or something. Like, you know, these people are really, really, we'll get into it. That woman's makeup was really, she looked like Marie Antoinette. Yeah. It's wild. I give it 99 tons. Yeah, I smell new producers here.

Bringing in some fresh ideas. We always need that. Yeah, you do. The last couple of producers, they just said, hey, we're going to bring in loud, obnoxious music. That didn't work out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was kind of the hallmark. That was their signature.

Yeah. It's kind of a royalty-free diplo. Yeah. That was great. Yeah. Okay. I also like that new aspect. I can't wait because that's going to really liven up those tip meetings, you know,

when they say the food was terrible. It was like a pig troth. So that should be interesting. I also liked having Ellie back. You know, a few months back, we, Kailen, Dylan and myself hosted C-RatCon, where we had seven of your favorite C-Rats. that many. Oh yeah, we had Captain Carrey on. He's not a sea rat, though. And we had Ellie on. And if you want to get that, I think we might release that. We'll let you know on Patreon. Yeah, well, that will release that on. You might find some Easter eggs on there because she was pretty close-lipped about this new season, but she did drop some hints along the way. And you can go there and listen to that at some point.

Anyway, I really enjoyed having Ellie back. Let's see here. Anything else of note? I do like seeing his demise, Ben's desires. Oh, can I interrupt your thoughts? I just got to say, Jenna, I love Jenna. I'm starting to like her too. She is such a cook.

She is such a weirdo. I love that she is just in love with Ben. She's just a 22-year-old girl who's in love with this Wallace and Gromit character in the in the galley it's like who are you what planet are you from yeah crazy he has the highest profile on bravo though she may be sniffing out a little bit like a fallen fame there uh all right i've said too much i i'm ready to just get into the recap i'm gonna get it 41 knots that's not very high patrick hmm did you not like it 14 knots there we go by the way i guess we can we'll do a quick APS after this, quick one.

Yeah. Otherwise, I'm going to get my thoughts about figure skating out here right now. I mean, the thoughts about the Winter Olympics. I mean, there's been a lot of controversy. Has there? I hate the Winter Olympics. I do, too. I don't know why I want to talk about it.

I don't even know why they do it anymore. I'm sorry if you guys, any listeners are into it. I just, why? Yeah, if we've got any, like, long jumpers out there or people that run up mountains in skis, too. sorry. Yeah. They should do gymnastics outside.

All right. So we kick things off with Alicia breaking down and Captain Jason asks a great question. Have you talked to Ben about any of this? She says, no. I haven't talked to him. He scares me. But Alicia says you'd have a better boat if you had someone more skilled than me. And Jason says, Alicia, the point of this boat is to be as dysfunctional as humanly possible.

You're not understanding. Okay. What we want to do here is fail to resemble any semblance of luxury, and we need you in your position in order to do so. You can't leave. I am so happy that Captain Hotpants can think quickly on his feet because producers don't, like, I don't, maybe they prompt him and give him like some feedback on the answers he can tell them. Because honestly, an employer would say, I completely understand. Right. I'll send a boat out to get you ASAP.

Right, right. But no, no, no, no. He must keep her here for our enjoyment. Yeah. He was like, Alicia, we served chicken wings for lunch. Can you do chicken wings? Yes. Now, I will say this, because I thought quite a bit about this, and I mentioned it last week.

She has waived the official white flag. From here on out, I thought as I was taking notes on this, it is now on Captain Hot Pants, Jason, and Ben. If she goes back in that galley, it is against her will. She's waved the white flag. And it brought to mind that movie Hacksaw Ridge. That was a guy who was put in the military, you know, the draft, and he was a pacifist, which is a bad case scenario. He's a soldier put in war.

He doesn't want to kill anybody. The only thing he can do is put people on his back and get shot at. That's right. Which turns out he won the Medal of Honor for or something, right? Oh, really? I didn't finish it. It was a dumb movie. Yeah.

Yeah. Anyway, she's that. I think it's the story of a war here, American war hero. I didn't finish it as I said. Well, you didn't have to finish it to know that. Right. Well, I will say this. He asked her to fit in and maybe, I guess, just get through the worst of it.

And he says, like, let's start a new vision, a new vision of it all working out, like the dream board manifesting and stuff. And it's funny, it's funny because he as a manager just convinced an employee to return to a hostile work environment, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I would say in Los Angeles, that'd be. worth about a million bucks, which... A million? Get out of here. Well, a million bucks, you could use that to buy a two-bedroom condo with no roof next

to a freeway at L.A. Yeah, I mean, here's the thing. So it's obviously, it's dependent upon the size of the operation. So if you're at Netflix, we're talking four, we're talking five. Then you can get an 1100 square foot house with no roof by the freeway.

That's right. But if you're at a donut shop, then, you know, it's a little bit different. Oh, yeah. Um, we move on to it. Oh, I was going to say also, she said, I don't really have a skill set here for this. Yeah. Didn't she say that? Yeah.

I think a raccoon with knives glued to his hands would have a better skill set. So she's right there. Knives glued to his hands. To a raccoon's hands. God damn. That bums me out. Thinking about that poor raccoon. Yeah.

I hate the movie Guardians of the Galaxy, but that third one, which was about the raccoon guy, ooh, that really tugged at the heartstrings. Is it the third one about the raccoon? Yeah. he gets kidnapped and you kind of learn his origin story. Oof, what they did to that guy. You know, on APS, I want to talk about, I'm tired of people talking to me about shit.

I don't, don't fucking talk to me about shit. These people that are like, oh, the winter soldiers are, I mean, you haven't seen the winter soldiers. No,

I haven't seen the winter soldiers. No, you don't, I mean, this is going to be a group, this is going to be a big movie. Damesday, it's going to be a big movie.

I mean, it's going to be a big movie. I mean, no. All right. We got to move on to Daisy and, Mikey. If we're going to do this, let's do it.

If we're not, don't include it in the edit. That's right. If Daisy's going to just shoot him down and this is going to be a three stooges thing, you know, sorry to be a, I have like old guy on the porch energy right now a little bit, and I want to apologize. No, no, no. But what they were doing here, this was to give us a little of them interacting for when Mikey hits on her later on.

Okay. So Alicia heads back into the galley. does not mention anything immediately. And I was thinking, like, you don't have to say that you went up and dropped a dime on him. You can just kind of tell him that you're having a tough time. Right, right, right. But Ben and her eventually have a conversation. And it goes pretty well, actually.

Ben says, I'm sorry, which is nuts. Now, well, there's a breakthrough. There's a break, though. Oh, well, there's also something that there's a same, yeah. We'll get back to the yoga thing. But in the kitchen, Alicia comes clean about her feelings. And she owns that he's a dick and he owns that she's useless. and now everyone knows where they stand and it's on the table.

I like the transparency. Yeah. We've got a gunnery sergeant and a pacifist. And we, I guess we're going to try to make that work. We're going to make it work. Now, can we talk about the yoga thing? Yeah, of course. Because we saw this version of it on the Salt Lake City side here.

Yes. Right. Okay. So the ladies begin arguing, of course, as they're apt to do. And I had a thought here. These ladies would fucking argue at a sex party. Any place. Hold on, Lisa.

Justin's balls are in my mouth. I don't want to talk to you about this all night. Now, there was... I think it hasn't a homosexual. There was a moment. There was a moment there where... And Kate, let me know if you felt this too, where you said that they would...

You had a thought. Yeah, they'd argue at a sex party. They were already at a sex party. Yeah, it's supposed to be fun there and free. Yeah, and I thought that it was just going to stop. I thought it was going to stop. And then you went on to do an impression of a woman with testicles in her mouth, chastising another woman for her husband being gay.

And it's just like, you know, I think it's a little unnecessary because we could say something like, don't you dare. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. You know the old adage, if you want something done, give it to a busy person? Yeah, I've heard that before. Jason is doing yoga with the ladies on the sundae. Now, I know we're not moving. But, I mean, is there a cushier gig and yachting than captaining one of these vessels?

No. I mean, you, what do you do? You're just like, are you just on TV? I'll say this. It's one of those gigs that you, it's the easiest gig ever until shit goes sideways. Right. And then you could go to jail. Right.

Do you ever see that, uh, that Italian capital? His gig was pretty good until the thing starts sinking. You're talking about the Titanic? No, no, no, no. This was like 10 years ago, he's got a cushy gig. It's like, I don't know, like one of these carnival cruises or something like that. Yeah. The fucking boat starts sinking.

He's like, I'm out of here, right? Right. So he gets on like a, I don't know, like a lifeboat. He starts heading back to the shore. The people on the shore, whatever, I don't know that what you call on the coastal, whatever? They're like, hey, what are you doing? He's like, I'm headed back to the shore, man. I want to live.

They're like, no. What do you mean? What am I doing? You see that boat out there? It's fucking sinking. Yeah, that's what he tells me. I thought you guys are the Coast Guard. Being pretty reasonable.

And they go, no, you're the captain. You need to go back to the boat. And he said, no. And I think he had to go to jail. Right? But at least he's a lot. No, I mean, it's a, it's a, you're making a really, really good point.

There are a lot of professions that have a lot of downtime. But when it's time to go, lives depend on you. Marco Robbie, Withering Heights set, you know, there's a lot of downtime. But when she needs to fire up.

I want to see that movie. It's supposed to be just pure unadulterated dog shit. Really? Oh yeah. People are really panning it. Damn. Okay. So this, and get in the comments.

Let us know if you've seen Wuthering Heights yet. This season we've got an amazing wrinkle, something that we've needed for some time. That is the reviews. And I should mention that they get in these fucking costumes once again to, what are these fucking... This is a Bronwyn thing.

What are these costs? By the way, you want to see where reality TV, which isn't really reality, where it meets actual, like, real life.

Watch Potomac right now. Oh, that was a pretty good reunion one last night. Yoza. Bronwyn was at a fashion show hanging out with Rihanna. They went together

with each other. Really? Yeah. Both looking pretty good. Mm-hmm. What was that Bill Cosby voice? Oh, sorry. Take this.

Oh, but de laeceeble. But Rihanna must clearly be a friend of a fan of the show. That's great. Yeah, I wish people were rich, famous people, fans of us. You know, I think we have some, some, the thing about us is that, and I know that there are quite sizable people who listen,

but they can't say that they listen. Hey, DMO Patty, if you're famous and you want to take me to a fashion show or something, I don't know, maybe a baseball game. Actually, no, scratch, I hate baseball. Yeah. God, what do I like? I don't like anything. Yeah.

Well, think about it and then we'll get back to it. Okay, okay, okay. All right. Can I talk about an employer review? Yeah. Okay. So my buddy Sebastian, famously on Kitchen Nightmares,

season one. Yeah. Okay, where the G-man just shredded him. Yeah, it's called C-Bastrotaria. I loved to be. And ordering there was like a physics experiment. Well, you know, he was ahead of his time. Anyway, at some point he wanted to be a stand-up comedian,

and he did a one-man show. called Driving with Sebastian's. He rented out this, I don't know, this hall. He invited all these agents. He'd never done stand-up before. So it was a little premature for him to work at this sort of work. Yeah, stand-up, you can get almost instantaneously direct feedback. Oh, he did.

So he does this one-man show about driving. He had like a screen behind him playing videos and stuff. It was all about how bad a driver he was. Yeah. And it was about 45 minutes, and I went there. and he had a review forms that you could check boxes and give your feedback. So he, he brought those.

You didn't, those didn't come with the hall. No, he brought those. He wanted his feedback. And also you could reach out to him if you wanted, you know, to use him or represent him and whatnot. Can I guess what happened?

You created an anonymous email and then wrote him a nasty review. No, no, no, no. I didn't have to do that. I went to the bathroom, just because I had to pee. I was drinking a lot of Bud Light, you know? Yeah. And in the bathroom, there were several people that were so angry that they'd wasted that much time

that they were having a good time writing, spending more time than they should, leaving him pretty... You don't need to do that. That's what they were doing. People can get really mean. And, you know, the crazy part about that is that was only 25 minutes into the show. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, but, yeah, he gave up that dream. Yes, he best. That's when he decided to be a chef. And then he gave up on that dream. And that's when he decided to turn the dream gave up on him. Yeah. It's tough. All right. So we get to this portion where Daisy is the one that finds out about the reviews.

Obviously, she's head of household. And she says, I don't know what these zombie women are going to write to Jason. Daisy being the first interior or Chief Stew to receive the review cards of Bravo's Bullodeck makes such cosmic sense. It's in perfect alignment. I cannot wait for Daisy to take accountability. It is going to be such a nightmare. And by the way, because these ladies spent the entire duration of their yachting

experience just arguing with each other. This was just a softball for them. Oh, yeah. I can't wait till we get some filthy yucky normies or possibly these actual paying guests to focus on the food. They're not going to scream. They're going to eat. They're going to eat.

And I cannot wait for their reviews. All right. So we get to breakfast. We get a wicked shot of kind of an accordion of omelets in various states of destruction. And then we get to breakfast. Meredith Marks, who is no long. on the show was calling Brittany a dumb horror or something and then we move on. Do you have any thoughts

on this? Not really. We've seen this. We've seen this a million times. So the ladies fill out their comment cards and head out, but not before we get the unicorn back. Yay. Thanks. All the boat parks. Thank you, Degaba. She killed it. Housewise leave. Thank God. Degaba is where the pod races. Is that where the pod races happened? No, that's not where that happened. That happened on Tatuwen. What is Dagaba?

Dagaba is where Yoda lived. Oh, gross. I didn't like that place. Me neither. I don't like swamps. He had to be there because the Empire couldn't find him there. Yeah. Do you see Night Manager yet?

Well, that's a series. Watch the trailer for it. Okay. It seems interesting. Couldn't get the wife, couldn't talk her into it. All right. We're going to be watching America's Next Top Model three-parter tonight. My God.

They know how to grab us. I might have a full review. Are you grabbed by this? America's Next Top Model? Yeah. Oh, hell yeah. Oh, okay. I watched all of them.

I'm a little concerned. You know, Chef Rachel was on there. Okay. You have agency in your own home. No. You bought the whole house. You paid for everything. Nothing.

We went to... That's like... We went to the Soho House yesterday for a meeting. The bill comes. It was much more than I'm about to say was my cut. It was $250. And I turned to my wife, not knowing that it was going to be $250. And I said, start eating.

Because it was like a buffet type of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she just looked at me like I was annoying. Yeah. It wasn't like, oh, wow. Soho House is doing buffet? Yes, it was like a bruntie. thing.

Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Kaelan, you ever been to the Soho House? I have. Who took you?

David Henry. What do you? The solo house is not, I mean, I've never been. But isn't it chuggy now? That's the solo. Well,

that's why they let people like me in. They asked me what I do. I said, podcaster. And they write it down on their little, uh, little phone computer thing. Oh my God.

They get, you got to give them, your profession. Yeah. Why didn't you say, I don't have one? That's what you do to people who ask for yourself. Well, I'm chugie. I was so thirsty and desperate.

All right. So, say you're a wizard or something like that. The ladies fill out the comment cards. We get the unicorn and then we get ready for a night out. Well, tip meeting, don't you want to, oh, the tip meeting? Did we go out there yet? Well, first, we throw some canteens against the roof and follow each other on IG. but then it was important for me to say all those words.

Then we get to the performance review. Drum roll, please, because the women were blacked out, filled with rage and pills. They didn't remember how awful it was. So they gave them five stars and tipped them $35,000. That biggest tip. Oh, I can't do, Jason. You can.

It was the biggest tip ever. The biggest tip ever. Oh, that's the biggest tip of all that's the biggest tip of all I've ever. You rich. I like fucking shit. And no helmet. No helmet. Now Ben is, or no, no.

Jenna is really into the ladder. She's a little bit like Littlefinger in that regard. She's climbing. She's climbing. She's climbing. She's not. She's a sea rat. But she aspires to conquer each and every rung until she can charter one of these yachts herself

and throw bodies over the banister. Maybe she's thinking if she gets hooked up with Ben, Ben will be a private chef for someone. Then she can cheat on Ben with the person. That's right. Yes. Okay. At least she's plotting a map here.

Yeah. I can appreciate that. Listen, I kind of believe in her. But she's into like older men right now. I feel like less than a McAvelli and operator, she's probably just going through like an adolescent kind of Lisa Frank kind of stage right now where she's like into older men and people with money and things like that. Yeah, old men get old fast.

They do. They get very old fast. All right. So we hit the vans and Alicia smells Eddie. And then we hit the town, which is comprised of empty dive bars and feral dog. Yeah, I saw that dog. Yeah.

What did you think about the nightlife of this narnia-like place that we're in? Well, I couldn't figure this out because I think we just showed up to a house party. Yeah. A rooftop house party. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was kind of like a 90-day fiance kind of situation where the family, including seven children,

are sleeping beneath the dance floor. And then upstairs, there's just sea rats dancing. You can go party up there, I guess. Yeah, they forego dinner in exchange for just some cheap drinks and, I don't know, rooftop. Yeah. Now, Eddie here. I like Eddie a lot. He seems like a nice guy.

But, uh, you like the mustache. It's fine. It's fine. But, uh, what I don't like is, is dancing. How would, how much would you have to get, uh, thrown your way to walk around with a mustache? I had a mustache in my 20s. I know.

Well, bring it back. But I mean in earnest, like really bring it back. Uh, no, that brings back too many memories of, uh, the catacade of, uh, men, my mom dated while I was a young. Oh, yeah. I didn't like it. It was the year, early 80s. That was a thing.

Corvettes and, uh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That, that. Yeah. I was going to say fast cars and mustache rides, but I thought that that would be a little bit too. No. No, no.

So I don't want to say that. All right. So, listen. What do you think about Eddie? What do you think about Eddie? Look, at this point, it seemed like Alicia was into it. You know, he's dancing, whatever he's doing there. I have a problem with Eddie doing this dance because I was in college and I'd have buddies

that would do this. Oh, the sprinkler and all this nonsense. Because I would be like, you got to get away from a dude like this because anything in close proximity, you would be infected with no vagina. Sure. Yeah, yeah. I think that there was like probably a good year or two where Jake Johnson was like really at the height of his power on New Girl and it was like okay to do this on the dance floor and it wouldn't instantaneously turn women off. Now we've gone to a place where No. It's, it. Oh, I got a butthole cramp.

I've been eating way too many blueberries lately, and it's just messing me up, dude. Oh, hopefully you're okay. Yeah, I think I'll be okay. Well, when I see a guy dance like this, or I think most people do it, prompts two thoughts. A person's really drunk or probably has a name tag with his phone, with his phone number on it, to call his family. What do you mean? A name tag? With his phone number on it.

Oh, are you talking about it? a mentally handicapped person? No. They don't have those. Oh, they don't? Yeah, people with, uh, people with syndromes aren't microchipped, Patrick. They're just human beings. Oh.

And they bag groceries and they do it very poorly. Well, I'm just saying dancing like this is risky. Uh, all right. So, Eddie and Alicia have a lot of sexual tension going. Alicia says that, uh, if she'd take anyone home, it would be Eddie. But, but. But alas. But alas.

We find out that she's dating someone with alopecia, I think. Well, she's got a fucking boyfriend. And that would, duh. You know, gee, thanks a lot, Alicia. Once again, things that could have been brought to my attention yesterday. Don't you think she could have told him, you know, before the smelling him? Can we start utilizing him for sound effects? Because I could start thinking of some sound effects.

Oh, yeah. That was a good one, Kail. You know, when a girl flirts with you, she knows what she's doing. She needs to get the sufficient amount. Well, it works both ways, two-way street here with the sexes. You know you got a boyfriend. I feel like men don't do not, don't do this as often. No, they don't.

No. Men are not going to dump equity into someone they're not trying to have sex with. That's right. This is insane from Alicia. Yes, Alicia. Come on, I know you're having a tough time in that galley all goddamn day. But really, did you have to take this man to this? to this place to then break his poor little dumb dancing heart.

Yeah. And what about the guy with Alopee in Canada? I mean, he's freaking crestfallen too. You know, knowing her, he's probably already been dumped before it even airs. Oh, you think?

Mm-hmm. What do you mean knowing her? Remember, she was in love with the Greek God who, uh, in, he punched a cabinet. That was one of his hobbies.

There's not, I think she could do. All right. And then she fell in love with the guy who, uh, replaced him. Oh, who is that?

I forgot his name. She, that's what I'm saying. and she moves on quick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Alicia loves love. God, who was that guy? Couldn't pick him out of a lineup.

That's crazy. Give him the comments, let us know. Are you kidding me? There was a Saturday during the Christmas break there doing a marathon. I'm sitting down. The kids are playing in front of me.

I'm like, do-to-do-do-do. It's a below-deck thing. I'm like, oh, I haven't seen this season. I'm watching for like 10 minutes. Yeah. Not only had I watched the season, I recapped it. I didn't recognize any of the people.

Yeah. No, it's a traumatic thing we do. We have to dump it off of our hard drive. So we hit the Coos. The Coosie back on the boat. And we played a tried and true grant. Mary F Kill. Daisy says without any attention paid to the tired utility of this on this.

on this show is just like, that's a great idea. That's a great game. I love that game. Daisy, you've done this. You have to have done this on Watch What Happens Live and the show like six different times. Anyways, I think she knows what's good for the show.

What's good for the show is conflict. Daisy goes up first. It goes swimmingly well. She says that she'd kill, kill Ben and then it goes to Alicia who says that she would also kill Ben. Now, Ben in no uncertain terms flips out. And he begins to go through a couple stages of grief. First, he pulls the professional environment card,

wherein it is not okay to tell a department head that you want to kill him. Then he moves on to the chef camaraderie card. Oh, loyalty. Right, which is usually between chefs, you know, you're as thick as thieves, and this is not something that you do. Then he tries to make amends through shouting and then begins to weep. Hard people hurt? Hard people hurt.

He's fatigued and we get to the reasoning behind his heartache, which I, you know, I know that we're, let's say, like, less than the biggest fans of Ben. Yeah. If I was engaged, I'd bang your friend too. Did I say that out loud? Yeah.

But I mean, if you could just calm down for one second. You're in love with someone, right? You're about to, you know, march down the yellow brick road, hand in hand.

Spent $50,000 on the shoes and things you're required for the ceremony. And you find out she's banging one of your friends. That is heartbreaking. Can I tell you something? A lot of people just flip out when they break. They go on shooting sprees.

They start writing manifestos. Ben at least was composed enough to not do any of that stuff. He just cries. I feel for him. I really do. But also, can I get a win? I would argue he might have had something, some part in that. Yeah, but cheating is it.

Okay. No, no, no, no. There's more to the story also. Is there? Ah, I bet. You think? Yeah, I'd venture to guess. A couple bottles thrown kind of thing, you think?

We've come to know Ben a little bit, just his persona on. Well, I don't think Ellie is going to have an easy time with Ben either. So the only other thing I wanted to mention was the days he comforts him in kind of a like, I don't know. This was, it was either sexual or maternal. I'm not really sure which one. I'm going to say maternal. You're going to say maternal? Yeah, no, she's going to save her sexual for Dame.

For Joama. Joao. Yeah. All right. So we get to the next morning. Next morning. Alicia wakes up and realizes that she's had a bit of a scream. Mike is once again, Daisies, which is unbelievable.

Jewel and him actually joke that he hasn't even seen. He hasn't even seen him. So Daisy's just doing what Daisy does. Of course. And kind of monopolizing labor. She monopolizes labor. You know? So Jenna and Seesaw Benny have a really cute moment in the guest cabin.

And this is where I like, I actually like really like her. She's a sweetie. I do too. Yeah. I do too. Alicia has a chat with Jason once again tries to get out of the kitchen. And pitches. I got an idea.

Second act. You make me a stew. Yeah, I liked it. Why don't I become a stew and you find someone else to deal with this miserable drunk? Right, right. All right, I'll try. Right. But he still wants her to try to tough it out until he has a conversation with Daisy.

He sits down and Daisy's like, what are you out of your mind? They're going to kill each other in there. Yeah. That's not going to work. One person will be dead. Good move for Daisy. I mean, that's later on when she has a chat with the cap. Yeah.

I think there was some producer intervention because if you really think about Ellie as we've come to know her, she's pretty malleable and a go with the flow kind of a person. I can't imagine too many stews that would have said, fuck it. I'm coming here to like clean toilets and fold sheets. Oh yeah, I'll jump down in the galley. I want to be on TV. I mean, it's the lifeblood of their careers. You got to be on TV.

What, okay, sorry. Sorry. You're asking me if instead of wiping shit off of. of a toilet. I'll cut fucking, I don't know. Food? I'll do not. I know it sounds odd, but it doesn't sound nearly as glamorous. Okay. So, Daisy and Mike have a little chat about how they can't bang and how she doesn't bang people in her department. Her entire career has been based on Don't Screw the Crew. Actually, what's the opposite of that? Right. Right. So I was, I was,

As I was watching this, I was like, what a funny arbitrary line that you will not go interior, but exterior is completely fine, regardless if it has a ruinous effect on the interior. By the way, you want to know something hilarious in how TV works. Captain Hot Pants was explaining to watch what happens live, how he called Captain Glenn to ask him if he could have Daisy. He's like, yeah, I called Captain Glenn. And I said, you know, maybe you've heard Daisy's going to jump on my boat. And, you know, I just want to make sure that's okay. Like he had any say in the matter.

And he's like, and he's like, well, what did Captain Glenn say? He said, just take care of her. And I'm like, oh, yeah. I'm sure that's what he said. Or he was thinking, yeah, I'm sure. It's like turning over a fucking racehorse. My God. So Daisy tells Captain Jason that this isn't going to work.

And so he gives the incoming C-Rata ring. She sounds very familiar. Very familiar. And she wants to know, he wants to know if she has any experience in cooking literally anything. Now, you could ask her if she has any legal experience. And it would have had the same purpose. There is no point in asking her if she has experience in the kitchen. she's going to be in there.

Worth mentioning, I don't think it's out there. She's graduated from chef school at this point. Oh, yeah, that's right. Good for you, Ellie. So let's get to a pre-franchine meeting. And for the first time, we get a guest profile of Christian and Annette. Big polo people. I think this has been prompted by once again our recapping of the show

and mocking Floridian losers that they're trying to put as, I want more Floridian losers. Well, I like that as well. So they're going to really, it's going to be hard for them. They'll have to like rent mansions and put them in their front yards and go, oh, this is the house they live in. I think honestly, I don't know. I don't know if Flora Bama Shore is this.

I don't know what that is. But they need to do a show of just day charters. I don't mind that. They need to do the show where we go out with the sea rats, deal with the debauchery. come back and Vanderpumped their life. Okay. Casting people, reach out to old Patty and Dill, maybe even Kailant too. I'll help you cast it.

I know all the rights. No, I don't want to work on it. All right, I'll work on it. Hit me up. Hit me up. DM me. I know I'll cast it. It'll be perfect.

It's a great show, Del. Thank you. All right. So we get a guest profile on these big polo people. They're big caviar people. They also look to have, I believe, a Turkish fan. I'm pretty good with cat breeds. She looked to be a Turkish van.

It was a beautiful cat. White coat, just a stunning white coat. Kind of matched her owner's makeup. Again, she looked like some kind of despot. Mm-hmm. Or like a geisha or some sort. Wow. You know what I'm talking about?

I think so. Gailin? I don't know what a despot is, but I do know geisha. A despot is like a whore? A ruler. Oh. So not a whore.

Oh. Close so. Well, yeah. Someone who holds absolute power, typically one who exercises it in a cruel or oppressive way. Like a dominatrix. No. No. No.

Dominatrixes have clients, despots have victims. Okay. Was Elliot Dominatrix at any point? Oh, good question. That might have been part of her thing. I don't know if we had heard some people transitioning into that work of life. Anyway, sorry.

All right. So we have a chat about what Alicia is going to, when Alicia is going to make the move. And Ben says, why don't we do this? Let's give her one more day and see. And before he can even get the fucking words out, Daisy goes, nope, she's mine. We need her training now.

I need her for at least 24 hours. Otherwise, she's going to have no idea how to scoop shit out of a shower drain. Okay? She monopolizes labor. It's so goddamn obvious. In this case, I actually backed Daisy here. I appreciated this. I think she saw that Alicia was broke.

and I appreciated it. Yeah. So I feel bad for Ben a little bit. It feels like this, he's internalized this to be his fault. And it is, you know, there's two sides to the street and there's two people in this tango. But Alicia can't fucking cook anything. She didn't put sugar and cheesecake. Like, what are we talking about?

Well, I'll say this, Dylan. You can work past that after a couple charters. What she couldn't handle was Ben. Right. Right. you can get if you have a strong personality which i think ellie does uh she can take that uh did you see the trailer oh yeah it's awesome those two they should get hand in boxing gloves yeah or those uh those those ones that blow up you remember those ones when we were kids yeah a hot brocum sockums what were they

called uh you know what i'm talking yeah okay yeah get in the comments let us know if you remember kately can you what were those called i remember we my cousin jake we were going to square up and box. You just blow air into him, right? You blow air to him? He hit me in the stomach so hard. I flew into the back wall. Lost my,

lost my wind. They're called soccer boppers. Soccer boppers. All right. Glad we did that. So, um, we take a look at the CV of the incoming galley hand.

And it turns out that Ben had recently attempted to have sex with her. And Ben and Alicia make up. Um, we get to a bubbling conflict between the bulk and biscuit and someone she doesn't even know exists. That being Jenna, who is already at odds with her. But we get to the next morning. Next morning.

It's really cool. Now that the interior have another stew, Mikey is going to be up on the deck. Nope. So, no, he is actually just side downstairs drinking espresso with the rest of the crew. I honestly think that Daisy's attempt at taking this route was to just rid Ben of a galley hand period and just have both of them become her stews. Perhaps. But given the trailer, I think we're going to have a lot of heat happening above deck.

And I think there's going to be some fighting in that guy. I think this is going to be a great season. It's going to be a great season. Follow Kaelin at Bean Flickr. What's your thing? Why don't you pitch your dad show? Yeah, pitch your dad's show. Just Fooling About is me and my dad's podcast.
