Finally see the boys behind the voices. Yeah. Super impressive. Did Kaylen leave the air conditioner on all night? I don't know. I'm going to kill him. We're taking a fucking meat freezer. We're going to need freezer right now.

The other knucklehead that uses the studio left the air conditioning on on nights. I mean, he should pay for the utilities. He's going to. I'm to just a door. She is the kissing bandit. She is the rater of tomb. She is none other than Laura Dupri. Thank you so much for joining us. Yeah, you welcome guys. It's nice to be here. You know, Dylan, I actually, we throw that word C-rad around quite a bit on this. I don't think it applies to Laura. I don't know. It applies to you.

We have to be consistent with the branding, but I what driving over here I was thinking about that philosophically If Laura is of that species and I just don't think she is no, she's a different No, I'm a different dog different species you're gonna come up with a nine for me or so Your your Tomb Raider Lord. We can also call you Laura, but we have, we start every interview off with the same question usually. This is not by me. A barnacle wanted to ask this question. Yeah. And the question is, what was it like diving in piles of cowshed as a child? It was absolutely amazing. I mean, I don't know why people were so shocked about it. It's kind of normal where I grew up. I mean, we're young. I didn't do it alone, so it wasn't

weird, you know, doing this fucking thing alone. But I was with all my cousins and whatever, bringing the cattle to the stable, and then there's obviously shit around and we like, it's our job to squeegee the shit together, like get it out of the way. But I can't what you do on date, squeegee the tic so we would squeegee the shit around. But then also it's like a mud bath. So you can just, you know, it's enjoyable.

I don't know what to do. Did your parents get pissed off at you? at you like oh God you smell like cow shit No, they encouraged it good. Here's the thing. She probably this is why Laura is so tough, right? She built up all her you know fighting off like I bet you could never get sick because you were wrestling around and cow Dude who all day. Yeah, I don't get sick at all And also Dylan there's worse childhood pastimes. Me and my friends, we used to throw rocks at each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's horrible. That's sadistic. Something that I was enjoyable, more like a mutton-fault message. I mean, it's really wrong. Yeah, and I used to tell my mother just scheduled play dates for me. All right, the real question that we always start with, and this is from Dave Hardellist

and Arbarnacle, how did you get on the show? Um, basically I was just approached online on Instagram, but I've always wanted to do the show. Like I started, when I started yotting a few years ago, I was, I watched below deck and I was like, fuck, I feel like I should do something like this because the world should see this personality and I should hear my voice, I should hear me sing, you know, all of that, all of the above. And also, I just felt like I'm not going to make a shit out of myself because I know my job, I love what I'm doing and I'm just going to, you know, be myself. If someone enjoys that, you know, that's amazing. If you don't enjoy me then, you know, she's not a C rat.

She thought about what she was doing. Well, and it's also so encouraging that she was like, I think people need to enjoy me because it is a good amount of self confidence that's, you know, merited because often that is coupled with delusional thinking. And we'll talk about him a lot, I think, or maybe just a little, but we'll talk about him a little, but I'm sure Kyle thinks the same exact way about himself, but I just don't, I think the scales are a little bit, uh, tipped. Should we start off with a softball? We're gonna listen to a question. Okay, this is a softball. We're gonna sprinkle in, we're gonna talk about the kissing and all that should we start off with a softball yeah listen a question okay this is a softball we're gonna sprinkle in we're gonna talk about the kissing and all that stuff but here's a softball my our let's not know how awful is Kyle in reality oh wow

no i really enjoyed the guy like to be honest i love my fucking also he was the only one that i could speak my language to my home language as you can hear that I do struggle sometimes with English So it was nice to sometimes just speak to him in my language and we got along really well I know they sides to him, you know, that's a bit questionable By people, you know, you guys then see the whole picture But I really enjoyed the guy obviously there's some things that's questionable But he's a really nice human being towards me. I don't have any bad bloods towards him.

With that, with that Laura, having so show, see, so I get it, you're actually doing work all day. And you're in different department, you know, and the decru, that crew is not trafficking and deceit, and in part taking, you guys are just, you know, we're just, yeah, we're just enjoying it and doing our jobs, you know, obviously, but. So has your perception of some of the interior changed, given that you,

now that you're watching it back, all the things that you didn't see while you were busy working, has your perception changed about any of the people you worked with? and changed about any of the people you worked with? My perception has not changed. The thing is, I don't really... I know them for who they were when I met them. Seeing the show is not going to change my perspective about anyone because I was there first and seeing how they really, obviously,

some things I didn't see, how the fighting and what events, sometimes I was unconsciously drunk, so I couldn't understand what they were fighting about or you know when they fight in the interior and we're working I didn't know because I'm not going to get involved you know I do sometimes like to stir the pot but that's just I was bored I had to and and you're some apprehension did not change. I still love each and every crew member I worked with honestly to God. But you're seeing it back and seeing how it was actually a fucking shit showing there that obviously made me be like, but I'm not gonna choose sides. I don't want to.

Sure. You know, yeah. Good so in. Yeah, no, yeah, it's good. So yeah, yeah, um, so we're gonna sprinkle on some fun questions. Some of the, I mean, some of the great moments of the season have been you shit faced eating. Um, yes. What are, what are your go to foods when you're fucked up. I love eating anything with meat. Don't give me a fucking vegan sandwich or whatever. I'm not going to eat it like I want meat. Obviously like 80% protein and then

whatever else is left I'll eat. Obviously I love noodles and pasta a lot as you can see, right, but let go to meal when I'm pissed would definitely be like a cabab Okay, I'm a burger. Lots are so big Everywhere but the United States. We don't have culture And what's bunny chow is that a drunk food? Bunny chow is amazing a bunny chow or a guest fee a bunny chow, I think it's like a big bun fold with like minced meat and it's amazing and a guest fee is like fold with sluptips or you don't know what sluptips is, it's fries.

Is that fries covered in gravy? Oh yeah, fries and gravy and meat and just it's like, it's very big. Yeah, it's really, really Yeah, it's really, really, really enjoyable. Listener Lewis Benedict wants to know what was the transition like? Absolutely hating Frenchman, the Frenchman, to loving him. And what made you love him? Great kid. The thing is, I never hated him. The thing for me is we're on the job. The first priority for me is let's do the job properly. Safety, everything is first.

Fuck having fun. Obviously have fun. That's where I bring my personality, but work comes first. This guy did not want to work. He came on there for obviously other reasons. So I was a bit like, what are you actually doing here? You telling me that you've been a bossin and all these things, like I was best off like what are you actually doing here? You telling me that

you've been a boss and all these things like I was pissed off from the beginning because he was speaking very highly of himself and at that time in the beginning he was making me feel a bit low especially when I got lead dick and like I did not feel like he's gonna listen to me at all. So that's where it was like touchy feeling but then I saw the true max is actually so harmless. It doesn't have a bad bone. He's just a strange weird funny guy like. He's the weird. What it is. Non-same. I mean, he's absolutely non-same. I don't know what's in there. Laura, how much of it is? Just sick. How much of it do you think is that? I don't think any of it is just sick? How much of it do you think is a... Oh, I think any of it is just sick. I think he's like, he's a poorly or a differently wound up toy.

I mean, it's just completely different. What did you say? You had mentioned that you felt like initially you felt he'd come on for other reasons. I'm trying to Louis talking shit about him. And what were those other reasons that you thought he was here? And do you think the persona that he is, that we saw is actually him or is it more put on? Oh, I 100% think Max is himself like I've seen him off to the show and

He was exactly the same talking absolute fucking nonsense that no one understands. Yeah, but also it's it's funny You know, you can't hate the guy of course he says we had shed and he does stupid stuff and he does not listen to me but still at his home list. He's not going to be he's not a bad guy. He's not a bad person. You can't hate the guy because he's just lazy or whatever. But he did not I I, my initial thought, thought why I came on the show was obviously going, you know, be famous or whatever, for reason people do the shows. I was like, oh, he's not going to be here to work, you know, we need someone that wants to work.

And he did bring his way to the end of the day. Sometimes. So, Luke, are you drinking a groin? Mm-hmm. Raze. Oh, Rosé. Oh, I said Rosé and a Tom.

This is this is classiest fuck for us. I think it looks classiest fuck. Exactly. Okay. So Luca, we need to talk about Luca.

Um, he was the, uh, the boss and that could, uh, he was thrust into the position because I think you guys had like a drug trafficker who was the first, um, yeah. I don't know. I fuck. I mean, you should be locked up that guy. Um, I guess like, okay, before we get to Luca, what the fuck was going on with that guy?

Do you have any idea what? About room? Rue, yeah. Rue, yeah. I know. I from like, honestly, from the get go, as I stepped on board and I made the guy add such a weird feeling about him. Yeah.

Like, honestly, something was just off. And then it just, there was just weird, like obviously the fake license, the fake yacht master. You cannot come back to that, that's fake, that's fraud at 100%. Yeah. And also, you know, he's framed that past the way. I feel very sorry for that.

Sometimes, it's just difficult to believe the guy honestly because it's because you're fraud. And after the show, there's a few stories that came out about him that got into situations where he, where you know, fraud. So it's just what it is. Allegedly, allegedly, he was sending massive amounts of weapons and shipping containers across

the Atlantic. Um, both. Exactly. Really quickly. Yeah. We felt like shit questioning the whole best friend story, but it was, you just don't know because the guy has another human being on his license and he's scratching his head like it's going to work.

But Luca stepped into the role and did a pretty good job. You guys were really tight the entire season. There's no drama, seem to be getting your work done. How was he as a bossin and what do you think of his pearl necklace? I loved Lucas a both. And like, as I said, I've been in the industry for, you know, about four years, and I've never worked with a person like that. All that he's never been a both and before.

But just the way we work together, like he could not even say anything. And I just know what he's thinking and what needs to be done. Like it was such a cool dynamic. It was such a not a too laid back, but it was just calm in the way he was speaking to me. I've never experienced that before. Just how he would lead and how he would he trusted me. And I was so such a nice experience for me, obviously wanting to step up and feeling that someone's trusting me was basically everything. It was so good. So working with him was amazing. What a great bowson. He's Paul Nicholas, obviously fucking love it. I think it's a chick magnet, 100%. I mean, look at the guy. Yeah. Can I lose a lazy Lucender?

A lazy Lucender. Who was the best kisser on the crew? Or if you'd like to go back from episode five, who are the top nine kisses from that night? You can just give us a rundown. Yeah. That was so fucking, that was Ripley's believe it or not. I mean, we were, we were up on our feet. And yeah, it's like, I feel like I have to bet my shelf.

100% for that one. Yeah. Brie, hey Pat. Yeah, brief respite from this amazing, I don't even want to say that. It's just a break. It's just a break that we don't want to take. But we do want to take, we're,

Larris, really fun to talk about. So I want to keep talking to her, but I also am overjoyed to tell the audience about the men of I'm jammed up right now the benefits of microdose. You know, you could use a little microdose right now Absolutely, you know why because you drink too much coffee drank too much coffee microdose helps with stress management. It helps with Creativity perhaps how have you been incorporating it into your life?

Well, it helps me sleep. I got a crying four month old. He keeps me up all night while he doesn't keep me up. He keeps my wife up because she's not using micro-ros, but you know who he is. Yeah. Me. I sleep through the night like a baby.

You're sleeping like the ironic baby that doesn't sleep through the night. Micro-dose is available nationwide to learn more about micro-dosing THC.

And did you that night when you kissed all those beautiful ladies did were you it seemed like you kind of Were you, it seemed like you kind of, there, it was, you naturally progressed through like two or three.

And then we got the vibe that you were like, okay, I'm on a fucking mission now. I'm gonna kick the entire boat. Were you just, what was going on that night? I didn't even come with a mindset of something like that happening. Obviously like you guys see nine, but it wasn't nine different people. It was four or five different people, but obviously different times. Oh, okay.

I don't know how it got to that. It was just, it just happened. I saw Luke and Jason, I think, and I was like, oh my God, I'm just going to have to take my shot. I mean, here we are. This is a massive experience. No one else is doing anything. I mean, all the boys on board on doing anything. So I might as well just do what I can and I've done.

Brother, I got it done. I got a couple more listener questions. Okay. So were you annoyed when Captain Sandy prompted the guests to use the water toys? That's the first part of the question. And the second one, how much of a pain in the ass is that slide? I wasn't annoyed, but obviously it's just like, one day that we don't have to put everything in because it's anchor, get everything in a sabroki.

There is no waiting around and the slide is a bitch. Like to be honest, when we started off, we did not know like if you're going about this usually a procedure how to launch the slide. No one here to launch it, me and Luca to set there and be like, okay, how are we going to do this? First time, took about two hours, but the second, third like like, office, 20 minutes, it was a pain, obviously, but it's not that bad. I've had worse before. That is my least favorite kind of puzzle. Yeah. A physical puzzle where you got to, you know, kill you like a construction site or something, they're just like, how the fuck are we going to do this? Also, the slide's not fun. You go down it once and it's like, woo, what the heck? It's just, it's just a big hype.

I repeat that, or do they just hit it hard? It's once and then you go down like, oh, that was cool. Let's do something else. It's stupid. Meredith Larroway asks, and this is probably a production question. So if it doesn't go with Bravo PR, we'll eliminate it.

Someone caught that there's a sign in the area where you guys eat called cell phone freezo. Can you explain that post or is that something you guys put up? No, I think that's from previous crew from the previous part. I, no one put that up. That I know. We always, we didn't even spoke about that. We always try to catch, um, you know, because below that, I think one of the reasons why it's so popular and people love it so much is because it's the least canned reality show. Yeah, yeah. And we always try to be real.

Some kind of Stengali string pulling, but it just doesn't, it doesn't seem to be there. You know, all right, I feel like I'm digressing for a second, but I forgot this question. Rachel Griffith wants to know and by the way, I'm a kiss and bandit too. I was before I was married. What's your record for kissing people in a day? How many in a single day? I can't, I can't say this. You can pass, just pass.

Yeah, I'll, I say it's above, you know, it's above. It's above a very high number, but that was like the younger days, you know, we need to start. Let's see what I can do. Yeah. Okay. What's your worst charter as far as having guests on a boat? It's not necessarily on the show below deck, but just in the four years you've been in the industry. Do you have like a horror story from the industry? Yes, on every say, I, well, actually very recently we had a three week charter. So it's not a three day charter. How much does that cost? For the boat I was on, it's 600,000 per week, sometimes that was 3.

And it was this people from LA and they were really rich and bougie and they brought the most of mount of pot on board and it was just a shit show because we cannot have stuff like that on board and it was just a sh** show because we cannot have stuff like that on board at all. There was a juggle with that to get that stuff off the boat before we had to go into charter and then the primary he wanted 15 pillows in his room. 15 pillows, we had to give our crew pillows because we did not have enough pillows. He shacked on the floor, the one guy pussed in a cup while he was sleeping. You know, he doesn't even go to the toilet. You will piss in a bottle close the bottle put it next to his bed That's fine for him. You know shit like that. I don't understand how people are so in

You mean they don't like flush the toilet. It's just It's disgusting. I'll just keep her low. Yeah, well money can make you Inhuman, you know exactly, But imagine a three-week trip with that. I'm doing 14 hours a day for three weeks straight. Like it's, did you lose your faith in humanity being around them? I did. Lose my faith in people. It's a different kind of breed. lose my fight in people that's a different kind of breed. Yeah, like there's rich people and then there's new rich That's new to money and then they think like fucking out. Let's go. Let's just fuck everything up. Yeah, where where did we lose our minds? Yeah, cuz we go wrong here old rich. They're they're kind of boring, you know, they're they're just they're not they're kind of boring, you know, they're just, they're not all over the place like that. And they do think less of all of us, but it's a little bit underneath, you know, it's

very respectful. Yeah. Yeah. You know, they too high above to actually go that low like you reach like, you know, fucking gay, whatever. You know, like, you know, like, you get on the floor. Exactly. Our Facebook monitor, uh, chief Stewart,

Hey, chief still, he wants to know what do you still want to be a captain? And what is your timeline for that? Oh, yeah, 100%. Like I'm actually now buzzing with my instructors course, which is a Jetski instructor scores next week. I'll be doing another course for my experience on board. I definitely want to be a captain for that. I'm not going to put a time not on it because I'm still young and I'm very much enjoying my life. I'm not going to be on it like this. I'm

going to be living my life but also work on my career. I'm also working on becoming a DJs so I've got decks and everything. So I'm spinning those decks a bit. So I've got decks and everything so I'm spinning those decks a bit So I've got a few things going on but captain is my main priority With a monkey on my shoulder. I'll be there in about 15 years. I reckon yes, then that Hopefully, but like a competent good captain like captain Sandy like I would love to be there in the next 15 years Is being a captain boring because I I was thinking like, I would love if you were the captain on below deck, but then you couldn't do your,

I mean, you couldn't Seperoze at a tumbler's. Like, is it a boring position? You just have to be a little bit more locked down. I feel like the most difficult thing for a captain is managing the crew. I don't think it's at all driving the boat or anything. It's literally managing your crew. Imagine having all of these searats like you guys would call it underneath you as a captain and actually fucking managing them because they go out of control completely. I know. You've seen it. All right. So what exactly? Ellie harms asked this question as Captain. Now, your heart. Who would you hire from your

season to work under you? Love that question. That's such a great question. Yeah. That's I. That's another question to lure you into talking shit. So it to me. I know I know I don't want to don't say all of them. Is your line? No I'm not gonna yeah yeah that's a lie. So I never said Luca I'll hire him as my engineer not as my boss and but yeah because he loves the engineering club we need an engineer on board and I will I really enjoy the work. I stop you really It's an eater actually can I stop you really are Engineers Look it's look at not too pretty to be an engineer because they're kind of like they're like

Motorwitches, you know, they they exist underneath the bowels of the boat, you know like easy. Yeah see. Yeah, no, I know what you, but honestly, in the yachting industry, engineers are very good looking actually, like what I've seen. And everyone likes the engineer because they're smart, they can fix things. They're not on deck, slaving away or interior, like that engineer, they're cool. Okay. So perfect for Luca. Okay. So continue. I'm sure. So, perfect for Luca. Okay, so continue. Yeah, 100%. So all definitely higher Luca,

highly definitely as a Decan, although she would not want to be on board a super yacht. She loves her tugs. Yeah, Jack, I would definitely put Jack on about 100%. Yeah. Max, I'll put De for entertainment or I'll hire him for entertainment or all hiring for an entertainment purpose.

You have to take an old board interior. It's going to be a difficult one. Lily. Natalia. Not Lily. I know. I love Lily, but I would not ever, ever trust on board my boat. I'm sorry.

She doesn't have a girlfriend. No, she doesn't. She knows she doesn't know how to drink either. She doesn't know how to drink like a seara. We talked about that. You have to be able to drink and work. I mean, it's just part of the it's part of the game. 100%. You can't get 100% by God. Because we do it. I off below deck as well. It happens. We will go out during the week.

It absolutely should. If I come back at 7. I am have to work at ITA. I'm a guy. But you go. You grow. Yeah. I apologize only because the kissing

questions. I feel like we're piling on here. But cases asked Mary F. Kill, Natalia Jessica Lilly. Natalia, Jessica Lilly, okay. Okay. Mary. Jace. If Natalia and Q Lily.

Yeah, that's the right. That's the right thing. That's the right thing. That was a subjective question. That was there was a correct answer. We can go along. Do we have a couple more for or can we let her go to her Thursday evening? Well, I think it's I think she kind of summed up what we have to look forward to with Laura's

adventure and life with some DJ getting her captors license, anything else. I guess what would you like to promote anything? What do you got going on? Well, yeah, I'm actually a very happy relationship right now. We've actually been doing this. Yeah, well, we've been on an off for the last four years, but I mean, I'm definitely going to marry this girl. I fucking love her. She's here right now, but yeah, I'm so happy and going back to Florida in about a month with her and I'll get back on my boat. She'll get a job, but I'll definitely want to continue with my both forward as a captain and with my first-hand support as my girl, a fucking lover. Yeah.

That's beautiful. Congrats. That's my story right now. Laura, I have to tell you, we've watched the show for five years and you know we get a lot of feedback from our listeners and of course we're in all the social media groups and I have not seen someone get this much positive reaction on this show. Really? And can I piggyback off of that? Bravo, if you're smart.

Laura, can we just clear this up? I don't know if it's a South African thing. I don't know. We've said it so many different things. Can you just say it how it's supposed to be said? Laura. Laura. Laura. Because I said in Africa,

I was actually going to say Laura, Laura, but it's Laura, Laura, you got to smile when you said, as I was all the time, just smile when you say it. It does. It does perk up a grin when you say it. Well, you have been such a bright light in what has been pretty, a pretty toxic season. We call you the MVP

of the season and we really, really mean it. You've been absolutely incredible and a joy to watch. And I think going forward, Med has a dynamic duo in you and Luca. And I think that you guys just need to be on the show for seasons to come. So thank you so much for being a wonderful person all season. Thank you so much guys. I really appreciate that. Laura, give out that nice again. Nice feedback.

Laura, give out that Instagram handle so you can get a DJ work going. Yes, I already have a DJ name. I'm on SoundCloud right now. Put a song out there already. But it's up and coming, you know. It's rough music. It's not George's EDM. It's quite dark and deep, but that's all I get.

Or can people find it? On SoundCloud, I'll put the name of my DJ name one day will be Psyched Dated Look. It's English mixed with Afrikaans, it's kind of Sigh, I don't know how to explain it, but I'll put it out there for people to see but they should go listen to my music, up and coming, it's gonna be really good. Laura, having a residency in Miami, I mean it's just you know it's you're just tearing the place up. Thank you so much. We really appreciate you. We love you and yeah have the good rest of the holiday season. Happy holiday. Thank you so so much guys. I appreciate it. It was nice chatting with you. Cheers.
