Mary F. Kill, otherwise known as gold, silver, bronze.
It's not known as that.
I've never heard that.
Yeah, Hugo's never heard that.
Gold is clearly having sex with someone.
Did you say that, were you the one that said,
aka gold, silver, bronze, or was that in the question?
I'm always trying to start hashtags.
Gold, silver, bronze, Hugo, boss,
Jess, Barb, so-so, rainbow.
Who do you kill?
Who do you marry?
I need me four choices.
This is nuts.
No, no, no.
Nuts.
No, you can just pick the three out of the four.
Hi, hello, welcome to a brand spanking new C-Ride interview.
I'm Dylan.
That is Pat.
Permission to come a boy.
granted producer k is with us i gotta say it's been so good to have this young bearded man with us
isn't it doesn't it feel like like home having him back yeah yeah it's it's a interesting
dynamic having someone to bounce off i you know i'd pay him five bucks an episode just for the
laughs yeah yeah yeah well we can we can renegotiate with him because i would love to pay him just
five dollars for the laughs he refuses to watch the show so i don't know that he's super familiar
with our guest, but God knows we are zooming in from parts unknown is the great and powerful
Hugo Boss. Hugo Boss. Thank you for joining the show. Thanks for having me, guys. Long time.
See, Ren, recent fan. Wow. Hugo, we named you Hugo Boss. I came up with that extremely creative
nickname for you. Did that ever come up in your childhood? To be honest, yeah, pretty much everyone says
is it when they meet me?
It doesn't stick so much on yachts,
but whenever I travel,
that's all people call me,
so it was cool to see.
Wow.
Do you feel good about yourself?
Yes, I do.
Well, why would you feel good about yourself?
He said everybody calls them.
Yeah, well, uh,
Hugo, thank you for joining.
You knew me without known me.
Thank you for joining the show.
The, the barnacles,
our fans have a ton of questions for you.
Yes, they do.
But old Patty has a question right out of the gate,
a question that needs to be answered,
a question that has,
I've been pondering since I,
since you started on the show.
Why didn't you have sex with anybody on the boat?
No, we'll get to that one.
Sorry.
First question, what the hell are you doing on this show?
You are way too normal.
You think?
I don't think we know him enough.
I think we've got to get him on another season
because he could just burn into a ball of flat.
I mean, we just don't know enough.
Please tell me your uncle had sex with your first girlfriend or something.
no no nothing that that traumatic i i do come from a cult like i was talking about um actual witness uh i got
my own baggage and stuff man but i get i think uh deal's probably right maybe at the second season
crash and burn or yeah demons come out did you watch like a family member get eaten by an alligator
no i didn't oh okay um jehovah's witnesses are are fascinating so i'd like to get into that but
that's that's my interest that the i think the audience
and the barnacles want to get into what happened aboard that yacht that was in a dock
in a part of the world that we don't remember or ever knew.
Right.
Right.
We're going to get into that bridge thing, by the way.
A lot of people were, like, wondering how you felt about that.
Should we just kick off the questions?
Let's kick off the questions.
We got it for like 20 minutes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
First question, why did you go so hard at Rainbow in the galley?
And then it never got resolved.
That's by Mike Galena.
Thank you for asking that question because I think in a rather blemish-free season,
you know, when we say you're too normal, it was like the professional standard of you.
The, what's going on with the faders over there?
What are you doing over there?
I'm just leveling now.
All right.
You were extremely professional.
You had, you seem to be above the fray, very, very good man and woman manager.
And then all of a sudden we get this rainbow situation where we're like,
what the fuck just happened to Hugo Boss?
This is not Hugo Boss.
What's happening to Hugo Boss?
So what happened there?
I think with that one,
I think it goes down to,
on a normal yacht,
like if people aren't getting along,
especially in different departments
or my department, whatever it was,
I probably would have stepped in at some point
and said, hey, you know,
you can't talk about certain people
in a certain way, right?
Like it was really starting to grind my gears
hearing, oh, she's such a fucking bitch,
this bitch, this bitch, right?
It's just really disrespectful.
But I think in all the hocus
with the show and just,
you know,
letting Fraser run his team and all of that,
I just kind of turned the other cheek
because I was like,
well,
we got enough fish to fry.
But for me,
you know,
continuously,
it was kind of like just drip,
drip, drip, drip,
drip,
and, you know,
like anyone,
I can blow my top sometimes too.
So that day,
for whatever reason,
you know,
the stress of the day,
what was going on,
it was really busy dinner service,
it all just kind of exploded.
I was like,
fuck,
I'm so tired of this shit.
What were some of the things?
Because I don't think,
it actually,
as a viewer,
it didn't make a,
lot of sense. So what were some of the drips?
I think for me, it's just like continuously hearing, you know, that bitch, that fucking
bitch. Oh, I could hit that bitch. That, that kind of talk is just, it's really toxic,
I think. And I just, I mean, I think for, for what I expected and her being second stew and all
of that, I just didn't think that was something that should be coming out of her mouth. You know,
it's kind of like how whenever you're complaining about someone, you usually complain upwards,
right? You and the HOD, you sit down and go, hey, X, Y, Z.
But when you start telling everyone about it and you kind of bring that down and make it everyone's problem, I mean, like I said, I would have normally in another situation said something, but I guess, you know, I got caught up in the show.
Can I ask you about out-of-show environments and yachting?
So, like, you're on the exterior, but obviously it's a pressure cooker designed to intentionally torture all of you so that at the end of a charter season, you need to go to therapy staff.
but normally you would, upon hearing any of that kind of chatter in the interior department,
are you hierarchically allowed to just intervene with people who were not in your department?
I think it depends.
Like in this case, the Bosen, I would normally have spoken with Fraser, right?
I mean, I guess at this point, I'm used to being the chief more often, which at that point,
really, you are in charge of everyone.
But yeah, the conversation would have been had with Fraser, like, hey, your team slagging off
this person too much.
Yeah.
And this is the X, Y, and Z, what they're saying.
Like, you need a deal with this, or we're going to have to, you know, do something about it.
Got it.
Well, the thing that I think confused the audience was the only time we saw Rainbow saying that
she wanted to kill someone was when she was alone and you were all sleeping, which makes
it even more terrifying.
Oh, so scary.
The fact that now we're learning, she was actually sharing her desire to, I don't know,
throw a boulder on her head.
Or come up with some kind of booby trap that would see her decapitate it.
I mean, Rainbow's capable of a lot of stuff.
Yes, she is.
Yeah, she's very industrious.
Okay.
So, yeah, I wouldn't like that either.
Like, I want to punch someone, expletive.
Yeah, that wouldn't work.
That wouldn't work.
And you have the hots for Rainbow, and that's okay.
You still understand that...
I'm not even into blonde.
I know, but I think it's just the violence that she's capable.
Maybe that's the turn on.
Keeps you on your toes.
Yeah, I'd like to be on my toes.
Like, to have to sleep with one eye open for eternity.
Right, right, right.
That's hot.
all right uh anne marie log has the next thank you anne marie log what's what that last name her name is log log
yeah okay uh she asked uh would you entertain going back on another season uh hold yeah i'd love
mary who you go hang on a second ever consider changing your last name no no no no no that's not
my problem people surnames are their surnames i mean kaelin's surname is fucking bean
And it's spelled weird.
And it's spelled horribly.
Have you ever asked your dad to spell his name, B, E, A.N?
Okay.
Hang on, though.
The main problem I have with that question is, yeah, he wants to be on the fucking shock.
You never know, dude.
You never know.
Because it hurts your reputation in the industry that they have to work.
Okay, so that's actually a great question.
I bet the first question is, have you ever been on below deck?
The guests want to hear from Hugo, and we've been talking too much.
But Ann Marie Log, poop name, great question.
Hugo, did you deal with that kind of struggle
because you seem to be very, very established professionally,
were you worried about below deck harming that equity
and would you go back on another season?
I think it's a good point that you're bringing up
that a lot of people get on the show
and then it works against their favor, right?
I think once you have more and more experience already in the industry,
then you kind of have more experience on boats
without the camera than with him, right?
I think that's the biggest problem when it's your first gig, your second gig, et cetera.
But for me, I mean, I've already got such a big presence on social media that really some boats are already off the table, right?
If you want a really private 100 plus meter yacht or you want to make sure that your crew doesn't attribute you any following that people are going to look into where they're working and that, you know, bring that light on to you, that was already off the card.
So really, I didn't think that much was going to change with below deck and already having in a captain position, like even more.
more so I was just like, you know, I don't think this is going to cause a problem. I've got 10 years
of experience and probably the boats that would have excluded me already would have excluded
me because of my other, you know, obligations. What are the boats that exclude? Like, are they going
to the World Economic Forum? Like, who are these people? Maybe Leo, but I would imagine it might just be
like, I don't know, people that are actually killing people, you know? Right. So what kind of boats
are those? Well, let's just say, like, let's say if you're a really, um, if I was going to
really rich. Everyone in this game is really rich. But if you're on a really giant yon,
let's say over 100 meters, let's say even something like Mark Zuckerberg owns, right? Someone who
doesn't want more, well, he's probably too famous because people already looking him up. But let's say
if you're just really rich, you want your private life separate from everything, you usually
want to hire people that don't have followings and don't have any notoriety. Right. Because
let's be honest, these boats are already like an eyesore for a lot of people, right?
It brings up wealth discrepancies and all this kind of bullshit that you don't want that kind of
flack, right? There's been
super yachts that get spray painted and like eco-terrorists and all this kind of crap.
So if you're caring about that kind of stuff, you're just vet everyone who's going
to work for you. And that includes scrubbing social media, that includes looking into the
person's background and all that kind of shit.
Hugo, have you ever gotten a request where a high-level client basically says, I don't even
want the people working on this boat to have phones?
No, I've heard some pretty weird stuff. Like you've got to put your phone
while you're working and stuff like that. But no, I haven't ever seen anyone that wants someone
that out of touch. I think, you know, there's a little bit of give and take because, yeah,
we work for some pretty weird people sometimes, but you have to also realize that we are
people. We're not slaves at the end of the day. Well, not to them. But yeah, no, it's interesting
because Zuckerberg, like, what happens if you're, you know, a robber baron of today, you're already
a weirdo, right? These tech guys have weird laughs and they, they have weird bodies.
So if Zuckerberg is going out there and he looks like a mime with how much zinc he has on and he's just paddleboarding, somebody takes a picture, it's already super embarrassing.
Or worse, you know, like they're beating off on a bunch of like sex workers. They don't want Hugo there with an iPhone.
Yeah, exactly. That picture is worth like $80 million. Well, and also they molt into their true form, which is something, you know, with a lot more teeth than we have. So we don't want to see that either.
Next question. Yeah.
And thank you for the questions, fans.
Oh, always.
Kelly Clinkins sent another fucked out last name.
I don't.
You can't.
What happened to like wood or?
No, no, no, I know.
There are people from Scandinavia.
There are Jews out there.
There are people from different lands that we've never been to.
So please do not attack the family names of the fans.
Sorry.
All right.
Do you concern yourself more with being.
a good Bosen or this season, were you aware that you were being filmed, so you acted differently?
You know, this is a good question, too. I've been doing a lot of reflecting and thinking. And I think
without getting too deep, probably my background in being who I am, kind of naturally just like I played
the good boy motif, right? That's kind of how I got through what I did and left the religion. And it's
kind of also how I like, I kick. That's who I am, right? Like, I left and this and this, but I'm so a good person.
So I think maybe a little bit of that bled through.
I've always tried to be someone that, you know,
is really good at their job, really personal, really tries to stay on the just path.
But I think that's just naturally what was caught.
I think that's pretty true to form.
I mean, I was aware of the cameras.
I did want to, you know, not look bad as well.
But I think that's just naturally a little bit of me.
Yeah.
So I think what he's saying, if I'm reading between the lines,
if the cameras weren't there, you would have had sex with a cold.
Well, I think what he's saying is that there were two lesbians.
there was one girl that was already in between two of his employees,
and the other one is super violent.
And to you, that's a turnout, but to Hugo, probably not.
So maybe in the next season, we'll see.
You know, maybe the bad boy, Cape gets shirked off a little bit.
But, yeah, you definitely came across as extremely affable, dependable, and no one wants that, right?
Nobody wants it.
If you want to get another season, you've got to make out with someone.
All right, Anna Andlsek asks, why didn't you make out with anyone?
despite having an open relationship.
I have a quote-unquote aunt.
She's not really an aunt.
She's like a third cousin.
Her last name is Wood,
and she's actually,
she cooks meth down by the creek.
So it doesn't,
like, just because your name is simple.
No, it's more like work for me
to have to figure out how to pronounce it.
These barnacles are very annoying.
Like, he pronounced my name wrong.
Like, I don't give a flying fuck.
Okay, so next question.
Okay.
Oh, it's Anna Andlesek.
She wants to know,
you're in an open relationship.
why not swap some spit with some other sea rats on the boat this season?
Was there anybody that might have caught your eye that there was some potential there?
Well, I think this is the conversation that I was having with Barbara that day in the main salon.
Like, to me, literally, there was only one person I could have kissed, right?
Because like I said, half the cast was gay.
I don't typically kiss guys, right?
That's not something I would do.
Only on days that I didn't know.
Why?
Yeah, and that just leaves rainbow.
And I didn't really, I didn't have a click with her and I didn't feel like there was any connection on that sense.
So there was just literally no one there that I would have even kind of tantalized the idea with.
Oh, and the other one, what?
So Lem was being passed around like Swiss cheese by the end of it.
So like you, I don't want to get into that.
Like, I know we have a medical kid up board, but I don't want a penicillin shop before I have to get off.
Well, see you guys, do you guys have animosity towards Soso?
No, I love Soso, dude.
I'm watching her on Love Game.
is it a love island the games or whatever yeah she she's doing great first episode she she snogs
like eight dudes like i told her i sent her a message i was like you shouldn't have wasted
your time with below deck this is your calling man she's a great free spirit yes she's a great
free spirit and you know this is what's happening with the younger generations they're not all
puritanical like us losers right um so hugo open relationships um what
What do you mean?
What are the logistics?
Yeah, what are the logistics and what is this your first run one?
What's the success rate of these?
Because I'm always so fascinated by these because it just doesn't seem like it could ever work ever.
Fair.
So we've been together almost six years now.
I think we've probably been open for about two.
Wow.
And do you guys are just like, did you have to get better at it?
Like was there jealousy in the beginning?
No, no, no, the openness of it.
Like, were you jealous in the beginning and had to, like, check yourself?
Like, how were you guys good at it in the beginning or have you gotten better at?
Sorry, they're just fascinating to me.
No, for sure.
I think at the beginning, you feel a lot more jealousy.
And it's just kind of just working on yourself, really, because why am I jealous?
What?
Someone else that I really deeply care about is having experiences that make their life also great.
And sometimes I'm not there for them, just like I wouldn't be there for a girl's night, right?
Like sometimes I'm just not going to be there.
Sometimes I'm on the other side of the globe and vice versa.
Right.
So go ahead.
I interrupted you.
Go ahead.
I'm sorry.
No,
no.
So I guess at the beginning, yeah, it's natural, but I think it's separating love and
ownership, right?
You don't own the person.
You don't control what they do.
And they choose to come back to you.
And so do you.
So it's just like you live your life and you're together for whatever percentage of it
because we travel for boats and all this kind of stuff too.
Yeah.
And, you know, it's about just being honest and having really good communication.
communication, right? If you hide or offuscate something and then you're off doing your own thing
that's not, I guess, endorsed or sanctioned, whatever, that's different. But I think for both of us,
it works. I mean, we're both young, attractive people. We love each other and we always come back
to each other. And I know it's going to sound weird. And unless you've gone through it, it's really
hard to put into words. But you do get closer from it. And it's funny because you can even talk about
those experiences and be like, oh, you won't believe this happened or this person. Oh, I went on
this date with this person was fucking terrible because they did this, this, and this.
Yeah, I think I want to to say, sorry if Mike Caden sounds judgmental. I think from my, from my
experience, you know, in Los Angeles, usually the people that are in open relationships are
either like self-important agents or like bohemian people and their parents still pay for their
gas. And it's just always a ruinous thing. So it's encouraging that you make it work. And
if you're all the way across the planet and you love somebody, you know, that's an important
thing to maintain a relationship is the physicality of it. So it makes sense. I would try it,
but the problem is I'd return from a season and I'd walk into the apartment and I'd be like,
why does it smell like another guy's balls in here? No, no, no. Yeah. Couldn't you open a window?
You don't know what I'm coming over you? Yeah. I don't think, I don't think it would work with us.
I don't know, I don't think we're Zen and it. Come on. Like, do you actually talk about her
having been intimate with another dude.
Yeah, and vice versa.
It's happened for sure.
I'm telling you, dude, he's caught from a different cloth.
We're, we're, I'm the lame person.
We're lame.
Yes, we're so lame.
I mean, I don't know.
Like, I think everything I do is always,
I'm kind of always pushing the envelope.
I'm always chasing novel things.
Like my whole life is kind of,
I grew up seeing the world like, it was this big, right?
You fit it through a needle.
Yeah.
And I want to see everything this planet has to offer,
travel, job, sex.
everything. And as long as I do it in a controlled way that I can kind of keep tabs on my
emotion and what's going on, like, let's do it. That's so crazy. Hugo, I mean, he's he's the
boss. He's Hugo boss. Wow. Okay. All right. With that, Charity Cartwright, Mary F. Kill,
otherwise known as gold, silver, bronze. It's not known as that. I've never heard that.
Yeah, Hugo's never heard that. Gold is clearly having sex with someone.
Did you say that were you the one that said A.K.A. gold, silver, bronze, or was that in the question?
I'm always trying to start hashtags. Gold, silver, bronze, Hugo, boss.
Jess, Barb, so-so, rainbow. Who do you kill?
Who do you marry?
I give me four choices. This is nuts. No, no, no.
Nuts.
No, you can just pick the three out of the four.
You can't. Okay. You can't. Easy. All right. All right. I'll marry, Mary.
wait that's another all right yeah okay i'll marry i'll marry barbara she's latin so that would be interesting
yeah okay sexless marriage though yeah yeah we sorry oh sexless marriage yeah yeah she's she's really
loving man she'd maybe coffee and all kinds of shit latin women take care of men really well okay um and then
um fuck i'll pick so so why not i mean you take the shot afterwards like we said right and i guess in
that sense that sense kill i'd take rainbow you're you're gonna kill rainbow well i mean it's
It's okay with you. I know you've got a love affair over there.
No, no, no, no. I'm more concerned about you. Do you have, like, military, like...
Yeah, Hugo, I know that you work out a lot and you think you could, but I think that game would be over if you attempted to slay rainbow.
Well, I didn't know this game meant, do I do it myself or just someone do it? Like, for all I was a cast chamber or something.
I just thought I picked the outcome. Right. Well, to be fair to you, this game has been thrown into flux from the onset. So blame the question.
Gold, silver bronze. These four.
people what the fuck and then when I asked you did you do that your answer was I always love to start
a hashtag okay okay we'll deal with this later okay okay uh Rachel Griffith wants to know
when this goes back to your religious background are you Rachel Griffith are your parents
still alive they are both still alive yeah oh good awesome um that was a scary what they think about you
going on on below deck
I think they liked that I was going to be on the show.
I think they didn't like that I talked about the religion on the show.
Right.
Well, that's not a think.
I know.
Yeah.
Well, they want to mainly because I think they, did you stay out of spitting in other people's mouths out of respect for your parents?
No.
No, I couldn't care less.
I think it would have been less harmful to do that than to talk about, you know, my background.
So I don't think that was a problem at all.
That's so interesting.
not to get if we're prying too deep it you seem like an open book but um what how do you navigate that
dynamic it doesn't sound like you have animosity you might but it's more apathy which either way
it's it's i would imagine difficult or insulting to your parents so how do you navigate that
relationship i'd say pretty carefully i think when i was younger it was a lot of fighting about
you know what i'm doing with my life and you know there was a lot of budding heads
led to some distance, you know, kind of trying to distance myself both from them, the religion,
etc. I think this all kind of reopened it to be completely honest with you and opened up
conversations I wasn't having with them. So, yeah, I think apathy and trying to just put it behind
me is probably what I do most, just because, you know, it's a little bit painful and it just
leads to a lot of discord. They're never going to see my way. I'm never going to see their way.
Yeah, God, that must be so frustrating. It's like, we're not going to figure this
Do you guys really not get each other birthday gifts?
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
I mean, I do birthday gifts now for friends and stuff, but yeah, no, you don't give it any when you're in that.
Michael Jackson, you know.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, and he'd give his mommy birthday presents in a paper bag, like a grocery bag, because it technically wasn't wrapped.
Wait, wait, sorry, can you give birthday presents or you just can't wrap them?
It's called a workaround.
That's what I mean.
You're supposed to not give them out.
All right.
Okay.
The children.
For the children.
I love it.
Okay.
All right.
Why didn't you speak to Jess?
Oh, this is Anita Conlon.
Why didn't you speak about Jess about her love life interrupting her job performance?
Because it was clear she had her head somewhere else.
We had quite a few chats about that at different times.
I feel like I saw snippets of it.
Like there was one clip when we were, I think we were zipping up some of the cushions on main deck where I was telling her, hey, like you can't be sleeping in another person's cabin and making them.
feel uncomfortable.
Like that night when Rainbow ended up sleeping in the crew mess, like I shoot her out the
next day.
I was like, dude, you can't make someone feel so uncomfortable that they can't go back to
their cabin.
That shit's not cool.
Yeah.
So I feel like we talked a lot.
It was just broken up over different instances, but there was a lot of chat.
But Hugo, that sounds more like personal, like your effect, like from a work standpoint, like
with the anchor drop and she was just.
Yes.
With the anchor drop, we did have that.
conversation a little mini one about it but then i mean then she started talking about how you know the
whole um cancer thing in her family and all that like then that kind of made more sense and again like
who am i to at that point what is what and she's also had that conversation with cap so once that came
into the picture fine but we i you know i did tell her that before she said that that that i thought
her her extramarital relationships were kind of getting in the way of work if he had the that conversation
it would have been you know awkward of course he would have been like
what's going on.
She's like,
well,
I have cancer in my family.
And he's like,
oh,
my god,
that's so sad.
And she's like,
yeah,
my grandparents had of cancer.
And then Hucobos would have been like,
well,
that's what grandparents do.
That's,
they die.
Naturally.
Yeah.
So,
she got you.
That's a little thing called deflecting.
Right,
right, right.
All right,
speed round here.
These are going to be fun.
What's your worst experience
with a fellow crew member
in the yachting industry?
Do you have like a person
that you were just like,
oh,
my God.
That's a good one.
I had one time
one of the people that
this guy was dating with a girl
broke up with her. She was one of the sues on board.
Then I started seeing her later on. That caused friction and whatever
between both of us. That sucked. But we recovered afterwards.
Then she proceeded to go with the next four guys that worked on the team.
And then it became kind of funny between all of us that she was past hot potato.
But it really led to the respect level for that suit dropping.
to, you know, all-time lows.
Wow.
Okay, yeah.
I mean, there are a lot of free spirits out there.
And then the worst part was then she was, she ended up dating the second officer.
So then we couldn't even talk about it openly because he was, you know, above us all in rank.
Right, right.
So it was just something we would laugh about.
Very smart on her part.
Fuck you guys.
Watch this.
Hugo, next time you're in town.
Let's go out for a drink.
The girl I lost my virginity, too, had sex with the football team.
Yeah.
And you two are, you two were hurt by that.
But, you know, I mean, you're a gross pig.
as well you know so this is not well i like to blame that experience with her that if
i know but that's you want to talk about deflection you know you're you're a pig too and you're
a free spirit too okay fair enough uh ever have sex with a charter guest no i haven't oh come on
yet right yeah no yeah oh come on all right um craziest charter story ever
Come on. How many bodies have you seen dropped in the ocean?
Yeah. Have you ever seen it? People got out of line.
Like, you know, like the head of Enron is like, uh, they killed me, but they didn't.
And he is actually killing people. And he goes there. And he's like, I don't know about this.
And then they pay him a bunch of money.
Did that ever happen anything like that?
No, to be honest, the most I've seen is usually drug related.
You know, with yachts. You get a lot of cocaine. That's, I've seen that quite a bit.
But I've seen people fucking in the jacuzzi as well, right? Like you go up there to, oh, do you guys
need another drink and then someone just going to town.
Right, right, right.
And then you run downstairs and you tell everyone, they check the cameras and then you
can get, you know, a top-down view of someone just getting railed.
Doggy style on the jacuzzi.
That's probably the craziest stuff.
I think a lot of time...
The cocaine, when you're obviously on this, on below deck, there's TV regulatory stuff.
So I would imagine it gets like a little bit more complicated.
But if somebody is like actually...
owns the boat and they're legitimately rich and you're on there working.
And I mean, like, legitimately wealthy.
Can they have Coke on and you can't say shit about it?
I guess is it up to the captain?
Like, how does that work?
I mean, obviously, legitimately they can, right?
And it really depends on what captain you got.
But most people, I would say in the industry, there's like kind of an unspoken rule that
if it's out of side, out of mind, like if people are doing it in their cabin or the bathroom
and then suddenly, oh, charter's over, nobody ever saw or had any reason to think that anything
was going wrong, that goes on a lot, you know, but like, let's say having shit out on the
table or like a scarface kind of shit, like that's definitely not okay. I mean, both are not
okay, but you're going to see the other one skirts through more just because one, people don't know
and it's just like out of side out of mind. But if you're crossing country barriers and shit like
that, then it also gets complicated. So people don't want to see that or know that it's on there.
Do we get boarded and inspected very often? No, because, you know, of what we are in the nature.
Shut the industry down. Right. Right. Right. The difficulty for the captain is kind of figuring out what
they're going to do and what their rules are. And if someone's doing something that they know about,
then they're kind of entitled to say something and get rid of it. Right. So if you're boarded
and there's a Tony Montana pile of cocaine, you can't go, I had no idea.
Yeah, because the inspectors would be like, there's a mountain of cooking.
So that makes sense.
Yeah.
Hugo, I, we loved you on the show.
How are relationships with the cast today?
Do you hate anybody's?
I think relationships with everyone are pretty good.
I talk to some people more than others.
I talk to Damo quite a bit.
I keep in touch with Captain Kerry all the time.
Yeah, Jess as well.
Scottish like we were talking about before
He's doing porn somewhere
I mean I'm with him in spirit
But I don't think I keep that much tabs with him
I don't talk to him that often
He's busy doing porn
Yeah yeah yeah he's got a full plate
Good for him good for him
Now forgive me two more questions
There's a fair amount of pot that enters my brain
On a daily basis so forgive me if I'm misremembering this
But were you on the boat
When that woman who hates Democrats
was on the vessel.
Kelly.
I was there for Hurricane Kelly, yeah.
Okay, great.
So had you ever seen anything like that, the snot, the strength, all of it?
The right hook.
Right.
No, no.
I had never seen anyone get violent, really, to be fair.
I mean, everyone's usually, the most I see is everyone's just drunk or, you know, Xanaxed
out or high or whatever.
But that was next level, whether it was some hallucinogens or just a bad reaction to
shit.
I've never seen someone get that up in arms.
Did she ever reach out to any of you to apologize?
She, not that I know of.
I don't think so.
I know that Helen put some social media and stuff out there,
but I don't think Kelly reached out to any of us.
And we had heard, you know, in this world that she,
there were dealings that continued with her.
I think she hit land and then she kept trying to point.
punch people in the face or something. Do you know what ended up happening to Kelly? Because I think
the primary had to leave the boat. How bad did it get? Yeah, when I dropped her off, she was still
screaming shit and going down to the docks of, you know, yelling about Democrats, yelling that
Captain Kerry was a pussy or whatever else she was saying. And I just started getting the car and
go. So I know that later on, what is it, Helen met up with her. So I'm assuming they met back up
at a hotel or I don't know where.
At any point, because no cameras were on that boat
when you were taking the tender to bring her to shore,
did you ever run through your mind
and just throw her off the boat
and say that a tiger shark got her?
You'll never believe this tiger shark came out of the fucking water.
I've never seen it.
Grab your fucking head.
Grab your fucking head.
Sorry.
No, no, to be fair, it was actually,
it's funny because it was a really long tender ride,
but it's really shallow there.
So I think for probably 60% of the ride,
if I would have pushed her out,
there's no way she would have drowned.
Okay.
Really close to you.
He was doing a calculation.
Yes, exactly.
Well, I said I had another question, completely forgot it.
Hugo, thank you so much for joining us.
We really, really enjoyed you this season.
And I honestly, we've said it the entire season.
I think Bravo is out of their minds if they don't just bring the entire crew back.
Different chef.
We, well, this story is too.
It's story sad.
And I only got 80 more jokes about his uncle stooping his life.
Okay, all right.
But we rarely say that about a cast.
We thought that you guys were so much fun.
It was one of the best seasons we've had in a long time.
So thank you for showing up to work.
And we look forward to seeing you in the future.
Is there anything that you would like to tell our audience to go check out?
This is where we hit a segment called plugs.
Plugs, yes.
What's your Instagram handle?
Well, I'm Super Y'Uts Sunday.
School. So again, to both of you, thank you so much for having me on there. If anyone is anywhere
near remotely interested in working on yachts, seeing what it's like to work on yachts,
Super Yacht Sunday School, send me a message. I look at everything. But I've got countless
tools, tips, checklists, a bunch of guides and stuff to just help you do it. Because I had no
reason to work on yachts. I mean, I come from a very different background than someone that was
on boats or a water baby. And I'm just trying to make that an easy jump for whoever's
thinking about it or on the fence. Awesome. Well, Pat has expressed interest in this
this world many, many times.
Do you think Pat would fare, okay?
How would I do on the boats?
I think you'd be great, man.
You could be the best part of the crew, the morale officer.
Wow.
Oh, you know, he can, he can turn into, he's fun, but he's a little bitchy when he gets drunk.
So, so.
Anyways.
The buzz balls.
Yeah, exactly.
The buzz ball Friday.
It is Buzzball Friday.
Hugo, thank you so much for joining us.
We really appreciate it.
Really fun.
Thanks, guys. Appreciate you, too. Have a good weekend.
All right. Thank you.
Thank you.
