I'm good. Good. We're joined today by none other than the interim chief stew herself. One Natalia. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you for having this little Sea Rat. Yeah. Long time coming.

We've been trying to snag this white whale because she is while she is an interim chief stew it's tough to get the chief stews on the on the podcast oh yeah yeah yeah no they're they're uh of a royal guard you know the praetorian guard protect them yeah what's the praetorian guard uh i don't know is that a star wars thing no no it's they took it and they repurposed it for star wars but but it's actually a guard that protected Roman emperors, I believe. Got it. And one counter in the Roman Empire column for the podcast. So we have so many questions.

We have fan questions, but we start every interview with this question. Pat, go ahead. So Natalia, how'd you end up on the show? How'd you get on the show, Natalia? Oh, well, I did eight years in yachting. And then I got reached out a couple times on Facebook by, I think, the talent recruiter. And then it was during COVID and I was locked in Perth.

And I was like, I think it's time for me to spread my wings and get overseas back again. So yeah, I kind of just followed it up. I actually did my interview with the whole production team while sitting in the bathroom of a charter i was on i was sitting on the toilet folding the toilet roll showing like they're you know trying to show off to them being that look i can fold the toilet wrong five different folds sitting on a toilet having my first interview with the recruitment company yeah well now we do reunions from those places yeah yeah i know i was like wherever the

best lighting is you kind of just walk around with your laptop and you're like for my interview it happened to be on the toilet in like the guest bathroom of this boat i was working on in australia natalia if you have any sway with andy and those bravo people yeah can you tell them we want to see you guys in person on the watch What Crappens. I was going to say crappens. Watch What Happens stage. We want to see you guys all dolled up, all dressed up. I don't want Zooms from bathrooms. I don't want Zooms from bathrooms.

I was going to say the best lighting is on a set with a bunch of chairs and a bunch of lights. That's the best lighting. So let's do it in person. Wake up, Andy. All the crews from every single season like we all want to do the reunion i think during covid obviously we all couldn't travel so then they put that kind of on a pause and started the zooms yeah um i know that everyone especially from our season

is definitely like pushing for the andy cohen reunion and it's just such like a fun thing i think it's like a treat at the end of the season to go like, and have like a fun reunion on TV. Yeah. As you said, you get all dolled up, you get like nice cocktails. Yeah. I don't know. After this season, it might get a bit chaotic.

Yeah. Right. No, I'd love to see you and Kyle in a semi-circle together live. But anyways, so before we start talking about this season, now we've only had one episode so far. I think it's necessary to kind of go back and kind of close some doors

with the previous yeah we have to talk about the witch from manchester or wherever she was from your best friend tatasha we have a lot of stuff to get into okay so just to start off a lot of the barnacles wanted to know what was really the end of the relationship um with your bro your your boat man's last season how did that end can you give us some insights or details um storm and i think definitely it was the whole he's i just finished as i said eight years of yawning i was done i'm ready to like go move on and do some other things he was just kind of getting into it um where he was like i'm going to commit to yachts now i want to reach the level of captain and that is a long time on yachts and i wasn't ready to have a boyfriend that was going to be away that much and i also wasn't ready to commit to going on to another yacht with him so it was

kind of like yeah for me it's just not going to fit into my life i think i'm reading between the lines here he talked way too much about work and he was clinging yeah he gave you the ick i think that's what happened he gave you the we filmed like 24 hours a day freaking long like you know weeks and weeks and weeks weeks weeks and obviously not everything is in the show like obviously they put in bits and pieces and yeah there was so much conversation it wasn't me the only one saying like he talks at work a lot like z was saying and corny was saying everyone was, oh my gosh, like it's all he speaks about. And I kind of just one night, I said like out of the 100 nice things I'd say,

it'd be the one thing that I was like being short with him is that the stuff was, that was aired. Sure. Look, we can't hold anything against you. The guy wanted to have sex while wearing that ridiculous hat.

It's totally big turnoff. What was the hat? He wore that stupid, what do you call those hats? Like an In-N-Out burger hat? you call those hats like an in-and-out burger hat no it wasn't an in-and-out burger it was natalia what do you call that hat that he wore he looked like he was in the movie jaws fishing for a shark i don't even know what to call it myself yeah i just but the thing with that whole the watch i got a lot of like i think backlash

about the watch i was like she's so ungrateful gave her a watch, but the storm is sending a lot of his earnings back to South Africa, to his family. So like multiple times I said, like, I can't accept this. Like, you know, you're sending,

give the money to the family. Like I, you know, he kept telling me about how he was sending it back home. So I felt bad accepting that watch, but of course it's just like me being like, Oh, I don't want the watch.

Right. Right. Right. Where, um, yeah. Where is that relationship now? That's part one of the question. Part two is you later went on to have a boyfriend. Were you in a relationship while you were watching your last season?

Yes. So me and Storm don't speak at all. Not because we're not friends, just because he's got a girlfriend. And obviously, like, I just don't cross any lines. But we we finished on good terms like we still if we saw each other would have a beer and stuff but I think for the respect of his girlfriend we just don't speak at all and yes while the other season was airing season seven I did have my new boyfriend the one that is now in this new show um or man in the first episode the one who wants the open relationship and so me and him were watching like in his house me with storm on tv and he was like oh my god like i can't be

seeing this and yeah wait okay hang on a second he can't be seeing this he was just like i don't like seeing you with other people what the well okay you know i gotta say he doth protest a little bit too much if he wants an open relationship he should buckle up and grab a bag of popcorn and watch you date storm um we're about to go into a whole shit storm of that all right now before we get into that where was your relationship with kyle in between last season and then this season starting up. You've got so many great questions tonight, man. Oh, thanks.

Yeah, they're great questions. Things got pretty heated when the show finished airing because obviously we're like, we saw what each other had said, the stuff you don't see until you watch the show. But then we both agree that, oh my God, we were just so tired. We said stupid stuff. Like we had so many good times. Like, let's have a good friendship.

So then we go into a good friendship and we enter this new season on very good terms. I speak very highly of him to the other crew being like, you know, this guy's coming on board. He's so funny. He really lifts the energy and stuff. So, like, we actually go into the season on extremely good terms. Well, that's what I think.

All right. Dil, can I keep i keep rolling you got a question no i want to talk about natasha okay do you have any no natasha questions hit hit us okay you do you hate her no um no no she i was actually very surprised because we finished the season again. We see what each other say on TV. I heard some stuff I didn't like. She heard some stuff she didn't like. Let me criticise her. It's like, you know, roles, chiefs do. And then I thought like it was going to be a Kyle thing where we like agree

that, you know, we're on TV. We're tired. Like we actually get along. And I actually went and found out she had blocked me. So I was like, oops, sorry for notifications. notifications yeah she had blocked me so um not blocked me sorry and followed me on instagram just after the show finished airing oh no message her i didn't i haven't really given her much thought if i'm being honest okay all right um you guys made a lot of um let's call them quirky introductory drinks welcome aboard drinks look at hell that girl the thing is on surprise show was like the amount of times there would be like things on the priority list and should be like off making a mudslide triple something

cocktail with a bloody banana in it and i was like we have other like we have really other things that would take way more priority yeah things i would be cleaning up around the boat every glass i would find would be full right like no one drinking there was like maybe one out of like six that were fully drunk like the guests were leaving because half the guests don't drink like let's say the vodka or the tequila right after guests like rocks half the guests don't like half the shit in like a milky sure yeah because they're they're adults and they don't want to drink uh toxic waste shots yeah well they i called it at some point i think i called it the smurf blowjob shot or something like blue people over people over 12 generally don't like their drinks

to be blue so that was that was all her right that's not a thing in yachting that's just natasha's little creative like if you know let's say all the guests like tequila then i could be like oh i'm gonna make like a um margarita with a twist when they come off the jet skis and like offer them hey would anyone like like a raspberry induced induced raspberry infused infused yeah made a tray here and then if they like it bring them a jug but i think they're offering like milky blue like kind of like stuff that i like there was one that looks like chalk milk with marshmallows on it and i was like i've been drinking shots this is going to make them vomit yeah it's gonna make them shit their pants yeah but she uh she did it Anyways, back to listener questions.

Okay, okay. This is still a Patty question here. All right. So I'd say the most interesting part of the first episode is everything that takes place with Ruin. So can you give your personal insights over the confusion of the paperwork? Luca was pretty firm on his stance. He didn't openly throw him under the bus, but he pointed out generally presenting originals or having them with you in person is kind of industry standard can you can you give some insights into that oh we got a zoom freeze yeah 100 so first of all i didn't know a lot of stuff

am i here can you hear me now yes um so in regards to ruin like i didn't know half the stuff that was happening with him because i was so focused on the interior i didn't know half the stuff that was happening with him because i was so focused on the interior i didn't even know that his friend had passed away like i would have hugged him um but in regards to the paperwork yeah 100 as soon as you get given that documentation when you do your courses they tell you you have to bring the originals to the boat um even when you join your first boat and you're like signing up to your first vessel they're like make sure you bring your original certificates, your medical certificates.

And everyone's like, that's so stupid. What happens if they lose it in their luggage? It's called carry-on. Keep that paperwork on you. It's like holding your passport. It's like, I travel with my suitcase 24-7 in my carry-on. You have to have it. And the show also tells this, like the producers and their recruitment

of the Blow Deck franchise, they tell you to bring your originals. You know, the other night I was up, I couldn't sleep. I couldn't relax. I needed to microdose. And that's exactly what I did with today's sponsor, Microdose. Okay, this is one of our favorite sponsors ever, perhaps ever. They can help you with a wide range of things.

They help me go to bed. They help my father relax. You know, he gets home from a tough day. He's been popping the stuff left and right in a responsible way. And now so can you.

there's no school like that in Monaco. Like, you know, I've known a lot of boys that go off and it's like, I think a week course and come back. So I don't see like a week course scamming him, but I don't think he did the week. I reckon he sent off some stuff and he just got a dodgy copy. I know people that have done it before in the industry. I've actually had people ask for some of my certificates and to change their

name on it as well. Oh, cool. And so it's not like the first part of it interesting okay so it's like getting a fake id but not to drink but to be in charge of a boat we could kill everybody yeah that's 500 pounds big um like him calling his distances and like how off his distances were like it was a big red flag it was like okay you know who was really good with distances luca who's he's a hot little piece of ass huh oh my god i'm in love um but not his girlfriend now but he yeah he's definitely very popular with all women in the whole below deck franchise just australia like i've heard of a few yeah it's nice to see guys under five feet finally get their deal yeah yeah yeah because you know i'll listen luca's a sweetheart i don't i honestly i don't want to shit on luca until he does something shit on him worthy right you know he's just been great so far

this is so good he's just such a flirt like and i knew i was that you flirt with everyone like he flows with freaking everyone but he's just got this charm about him yeah um under five feet that is that is so off the top rope man uh that's where the shit storm with your uh open relationship is coming from though because you've fallen in love with yeah you've fallen in love with luca And so has we all. Okay, listener question. Jane Kustik wants to know, what are your thoughts on Chef Jack? Thank you, Jane. Love him.

He's the best. I didn't understand half the shit he was saying. None of us did. I was just like, what? And especially I was so tired. I was like, what? But no, he's amazing. we had such a good relationship it's so important like the I was chief steward at the time and for the chef to be like very like on the same level and we had like no problems whatsoever everything

went smoothly and still continues to to go smoothly and he's like one of my main friends like one of my bestest friends throughout this whole season awesome yeah because we were really concerned because um scousers are named after the slop that they eat i think uh so i was concerned that he was not going to be able to cook anything um but you know he was really talented yeah yeah he's really good like and honestly he just does it so easy like it's just easy peasy and i was so worried i was like i hope i don't get one of those chefs that put out those shitty nachos like five seasons oh right right right yeah she definitely got a fake id whatever oh yeah she was uh she was a homophobic russian spy yeah i don't know i do know jack is fantastic nothing bad to say about him good

i do want to say on ruin i because i've seen people like attack him like he killed somebody um the guy wanted to be on tv so he faked an id he could have killed people based on false documentation yeah yeah you know yeah but that being said okay and you can't come onto the boat hopped up on robitussin and or ketamine it's just not okay you know you can't do that allegedly okay finally now he's got the right certificate so you know it could be the weird thing that he maybe he did get f'd over but i just don't uh steph goreski wants to know did captain sandy um oh i'm sorry they want to know we got to back up to this open relationship are you comfortable with kind of letting us know where you currently are in your relationship status i'm single um after filming i found out something very very horrific like extremely traumatizing yeah like no it's bad sorry natalia date an accountant

they're boring but they don't just find a boring person enough of the bad boy shit, okay? This open relationship stuff. Well, the way I met this last guy, I was running what you'd call a billionaire's boys club. This was before we started filming the new show. And I met him through that. I didn't actually like him when I first met him. I was like, this guy is such a tool. And then as we were living in Ibiza

and I was looking after him and all the other guests, I got some love for him. And then I found out after i said i love you that he wanted an open relationship and when i got back from filming he got back from thailand and yeah i doubt he's very honest i'll give him that he told me the amount of people he'd slept with and let's just say it's bigger than a football team yeah yeah that's a 52 man roster uh or australian soccer i'm not sure um what the fuck is a billionaires boys club so i was running there was like it's like where guys i mean what millionaires not billionaires um they all sign up like a membership to a club and then i would like host them like organize the let's say the planes that they went to cans and then

there's like the cans film festival oh god pretty um flying all the girls that they went to cans and then there's like the cans film festival oh god flying all the girls that they're dating organize that stuff organize basic planes villas making sure that they get the most elite service as well whatever they want like that helicopters anything so this kind of crosses over to a question from rachel griffith she wants to know if you've ever dated a charter guest um dated my boss once a captain uh no no like the owner of the boat oh that's different god running that running that fucking you know it's like you're when you're 18 20 you can be in a fraternity when you're older you shouldn't be in a fraternity you can have groups of friends and stuff but you must be very good at shirking advances because these guys sound like absolute scumbags. There's no way that didn't happen.

You know how to deal with them like a lot of them, but I had one owner come up to me. It was during COVID, and he was just like, oh, my God, I actually really love you, and I left my girl for you. And I was just like, oh, my God. And then basically one drink, girl for you and I was just like oh my god and then basically one drink two drink there I was good good for you didn't last long yeah well I know we don't have you for

too too long so I'll just do some quick fire hits here um do you have any good worst charter guests ever stories yeah good charter guest um worst worst no the worst things you've ever seen um i would have to say it's what every good one says it's bringing in i had one guy that i used to work for billionaire him and his two sons shed one prostitute over the course of three days and while the wife left on the jet back to somewhere in America with his daughter. Whoa. Wow. Now, two sons, very big, very fancy American guy.

Yeah, basically him and his two sons and then and his best friend shared one girl was so gross and she didn't even get paid much. But yet the crew got all tips like 15K each. My God. Now, this is why this is the number one show on bravo okay this is a fascinating world jeezy louise i am gobsmacked i'm writing a book it's gonna be called spill the sea and it's gonna have all my stories in there but basically i need to change all the names all the boats all the sizes all the years because i'm not wanting to get assassinated natalia you write that book. I will buy that book.

And I love that you leapfrogged lawsuit to assassination because these are the kinds of people that you're dealing with. What do they do? Because there are these innocuous billionaires that are like, oh, I have a copper wire company and that's how come i'm worth 70 billion dollars like what are these just titans of industry like what the fuck do these people do like you google some of them like some of them you're like oh yeah i know that guy i've heard

of him and you don't find out who the owner is until you get to the boat normally and then you read like it's like a basically a bible about him and his family and his friends. And yes, some of them have got weird ones, lots of oil industry, lots of dodgy. It's like, oh, ex-military turned oil magnet, blah, blah, blah, blah. Next one is solar power, telephones. They're just weird shit. Yeah. The richest guy I know in Los Angeles owns a cardboard box company. That could be a front.

All right, we'll wrap this up. Sean Demers wants to know, long-term, will you stay in the yachting or transition into modeling? board box company yeah that could be a front yeah all right uh we'll wrap this up um sean damaris wants to know long term will you stay in the yachting or transition into modeling oh thank you um i do playboy now i'm done with yachting so i do full-time playboy um me too basically it's only fans but not it's like the classy version and they don't allow some of the stuff that OnlyFans allows um but yeah I do that full-time uh did you want to plug that what does that mean oh is there a particular site or how do they promote link is in my Instagram bio great check that out uh Liza Meredinger asks um can you hint at a little bit of the drama between you and Toomey this season

without ruining it or giving us any spoils? Basically, Toomey comes on, I step down, and I just think she comes on with a very bad attitude. And I just feel like she isn't grateful for, like, you know, she doesn't say. I feel like she just isn't nice to me and we will find out why, um, soon, but her and Kyle had a bit of time together before they got to the boat. Got it. And so you and Kyle are, what did you guys go to breakfast this morning? Oh God. He's I've had him blocked. Yeah. I just, um, I've got no time for him and I just think

I don't speak very highly of him these days. Okay. Wow. All right. I think this is going to be all right. So give us a one out of 10 as a viewer. What are we looking at? You've watched Below Deck seasons have passed.

What are we looking at this season? Is this one going to deliver? Don't say a 10 because people will know you're just, you know. I'm just lying. For me, personally, this is my, this is, um, because of the stress I go through and stuff,
