Did you look at my notes? No, I really did. Did you? I really did it. No way. No way. That is crazy. Great minds think I'm like Oh, I think I'm dating a rapist Hey hello and welcome to another below deck podcast. What do you think?

Should I sing it every episode? Sure. It's kind of noncommittal. I'm Dylan, that's Pat. Great to be here. The season is over Yes, it is and what we always like to say is that we can't believe you guys listen to another season and we're so Grateful for you guys

also If you're grateful for us and you want to support us go to patreon.com slash another podcast network and honestly like it's $5 And you can do a lot of things to get $5 like Haven't really thought about it in a while. Really? Maybe borrow it from a friend. Yeah, ask a friend if you could give me he gave me five bucks. Hey, can I have $5? Why not? Here's here's an idea. and this is a little

Labor intensive and it's like, you know, what's your time worth right? You might be out of net loss You know that the quench gum they serve at big five. Yes go and steal a bucket of it. They're not gonna care I promise you they're not gonna know they'll let you run out of there. They'll have no problems. And then go and just sell piece by piece. 10 cents, 10 cents. Where do you sell it? Probably off freeway, off ramp. No, you wanna sell it on the freeway, on ramp,

because people are slowing down to get on the freeway. So that's probably a better place. No, you sell it at the off ramp because they got the light. They're light, they're stuck there. They're stuck there. So you go around, you sell the off ramp because they got the light. They're light. They're stuck there. They're stuck there. So you go around, you sell the pieces of quench gum. And even if people don't want it, here's your pitch.

It's twenty twenty five. Inflation, China, where what can you get for ten cents? Right. They'll go, you know what? I didn't even think about that. I can't find nothing for ten cents, but all I have is this dollar You go listen 2025 China all that stuff. What can you even get with a dollar? Right? So just give me the dollar Give me the dollar you do that five times you get five bucks any of all this quench gum leftover

So I'm saying it's very easy and you can do it at patreon.com slash another podcast network Okay, so we have the finale to get into I have to say this thoughts pots. Okay about the finales of most reality TV unless we're talking traders Where it's usually epic you think my pants are coming up too high Yeah, I think so too. You look like a Ferrell in Elf. These are my pickle pants. They're very breathable. Very comfortable. Yeah.

What's with the shoes? You know, this is my giving up outfit. It is? Yeah, this is my I'm tired. I woke up, did a bunch of, had call, you know, he calls with these ad guys these ad people they can be really really annoying I don't think this is giving up because I see giving up all day long, you know as a parent Oh, they're the dads that they've put on 20 pounds. They're well, I've done that. Well, okay Well, also they've let their hair just completely gray out. Some of it's falling out.

They're starting to walk with their mouth open like they don't care. Yeah, that's a real sign. You know what I've taken to? I've taken to asking people why they're limping because there are people all over the place that are limping around. I'm like, what's wrong with you? Why are you doing that? You know, it's been around long enough. You start limping. Yeah, you haven't picked up a limp yet though, have you? No, no, no, I heard a quote from Rob Lowe, which was, don't let the old in. I'm gonna stay hot for another 10 years. Okay, well Rob Lowe is, okay. I would say, I would amend it to gracefully

let the old in, right? You don't wanna just walk around with your mouth open, catching bugs, but you know, let's not. Do what he did right yeah which is what just like cryogenically freeze yourself for 15 minutes a day so you look pretty I don't know something's a lot of shit in that face huh yeah yeah well anyway you gonna go see Mission Impossible this week I was talking to my wife about this you know I haven't seen a movie in a movie theater in six years

yeah and I was like I think I want to. You know, I haven't seen a movie in a movie theater in six years. Yeah. And I was like, I think I want to see that Mission Impossible movie. It's a good one to go to the movie theater for. Oh, yeah. It was made for that. Yeah. So I'm thinking about it. You're not gonna go.

Probably not. All right, everybody. Well, listen, we've got a finale to talk about and the finales aren't never that great. No, they're barely television. Yeah, I would say barely television. If this episode, unless Dylan and I find a way to just talk about something other than the show, I don't see us recapping this longer than 32 minutes. No, it's gonna be

real real long. We're gonna beef it out. It's gonna be a great show. Don't you worry about it. By the way, that is not an insult to the season. This was an amazing triumphant comeback of a season. Yeah, I would say so, too. It was so well done and I enjoyed the cast. And so just because, you know, you laid an egg on the final episode

and it was barely television, barely watchable. It was still props to Bravo and the cast of Below Deck Down and OK, well, I think this is a good time to do iTunes ratings and reviews. Oh, right in the middle of thoughts or pots. You're going to read a review.

I'm going to read a couple of reviews. Don't be don't freaking. OK, all right. Some people are so mean. You know what? Let's do it later. No, no, no. Give me one up top.

You know what? You know how they ask you want the bad news? What's the season finale? We've got a lot of reviews coming in. So I just wanted to shout the fans out for leaving reviews. Okay, go ahead. Last episode we're gonna do. Go ahead. Go ahead.

One star. Unrelated discussions from K-Man 1826. I guess he's referring to the very way that we started this episode. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. These guys are super annoying. Half of each show is useless because they talk about everything else other than the TV shows

that they are recapping. Stop with the unrelated topics and talk about the episodes and that is one star from K-Man 1826. Wow. See, this is what I was talking about, Dylan. This is a great one. Just excellent. Five stars from Nebraska listening. Not sure what drew me to this pod, but boy howdy.

I'm so delighted to listen. These folks are a hoot to listen to, and especially when it comes to the Valley. Thank you so much. We really, really appreciate it. We'll do a couple more at the end, because I because I want to I can't handle any more one-star I mean the one stars are great. They're very very funny. Okay, so my thoughts my pots. Did you give yours not yet? Come on, man. I gave you all right. All right. All right. All right. Hold on. Let me look for my you know

What I'm turning the air conditioning. Okay fine. Okay. All right. All right Hold on, let me look through my notes. You know what, I'm turning the air conditioning on. Okay, fine. It's too hot in here. Okay, all right, all right, all right. Fucking ridiculous. You know, all right, so while, I gotta kill some time here

while Dillon turns on the air conditioning. At some point, cause I was wondering, obviously Brie and Harry didn't work out long term, but they did in fact leave this boat and travel the world together. But I was asking myself, as this episode was drawing to a close she doesn't seem that into it where's this gonna go right and then Harry gets I

guess Alicia doing a little twerking on his ding-a-ling there and Brie admits at the tail end of the episode she can't believe it but seeing Harry get grinded on helped her finally make it official and she said that's very odd and as a hookup expert that's not odd at all he made you jealous that's a turd on that's why you desire him more can I tell you you know usually I'm hot because I wear multiple layers and and I just don't dress appropriately you know, usually I'm hot because I wear multiple layers and I just don't dress appropriately for the weather. Today, I'm in a golf shirt and my pickle pants.

These breathe very well, okay? It's too hot in here. And you know what I was thinking about the other day? I heard a sleep expert talking about this. Did I tell you this? No, no, no, no. Sleep expert said that the ideal temperature for REM functionality and sleep, Take a guess. 62 degrees. 67 degrees. Mm-hmm. Okay. That's going probably back to our prehistoric times,

this cave. Well it's ancestral recall, you know? I mean it's ancestral sleeping. I mean you know the liver king, you know how ripped that guy is. I mean look, it's working. I think he's a... You don't need to get into the freaking details of all of it. Okay Guys nuts. I mean Pat sleeps your bedroom is what 88 degrees at night 82, which is the perfect temperature No, it isn't that I can't oh my gosh. That's so crazy. Okay, how many pots do you give it? I'm gonna give this episode zero Whoa Yeah, that's pretty

dang dang like I'm bad episode you know what you know what also and forgive me for skipping to the end for a lot of this if you guys don't watch the show Lara holding on to that garage to the very dare I I say, bitter end. Dish. Said more about you than anything else. Oh yeah. And this is not just because Zarina's a friend of the show. Cause we've been accused of that. People that are friends of the show get out. No, I mean listen, I called Zarina's food

looked like puke last week. Yeah, exactly. Okay, now this is just objective observation. Laura sucked. Laura, Laura, Laura. Telling Zarina that she's unhinged Yeah, don't don't spoil it. We'll get into the episode

I'm curious what you thought about the food, especially course to asparagus with puke on top of it well hollandaise is one of the the the the important sauces of I mean really they go on things other than eggs? Oh yeah. Oh, good to know. The asparagus and holidays dish was probably my favorite dish of the group. It was paired back, classic, beautiful, simplistic.

We'll get to the meal. Okay. How many did you give it? Zero. I gave it zero. You said that super low. Zero, yeah. Okay, well I'm gonna give it, I'm gonna give it zero to I mean my gosh. What an episode

I thought it was really fun. Alicia really ripped it up in the rain Nick and Marina. What the hell is that? What the fucking hell what the fucking shit is that I you know what Nick? You know, I know Bravo's not gonna like this, but I don't think they're gonna care. We'll have you on. I need to know where this relationship went. We know. We do?

Yeah. It went nowhere. Well, yeah. Right. I wanna say this. What the hell are you talking about, man? Yeah. We know.

If you heard her, she was essentially seeing their future and spending the rest of their lives together. Yeah, they often do see that. It's a mirage. You know what? I mean, you think about a mirage when you're so mentally drained. And thirsty. And thirsty. And thirsty, you start seeing beautiful,

what's the term for that? It's like a little alcove of beauty in the middle of the desert. I'll look it up, go ahead. Oh, okay. I know these are my pots, but. Sorry, I just realized I have to actually give it 12 knots. Okay.

Just for the scene of Zarina making out with Alicia at the tail end of the episode, I was so jealous watching that because I'm like, I wish I was that fluid when I was a single man because Alicia, she's like, you know, she's grossed out by Nate there. Yeah. But me, if someone, a girl goes, I want an assy smashy or something like that, I'm like, ugh, get me a

dude over here and let me throw my tongue down his throat. You know what, that's a great point, you know, she's grossed out by freaking smoochies. She's talking about cream pies. Cream pies, that's one of the most vile languages in sex, generally I would say. Vile languages in sex. Freaking cream pies, that's so gross. Gross. I mean it's a beautiful act. Oh, it creates life. Yeah, I mean it's a beautiful, I mean it's a recall. Cream pies are beautiful, but you don't have to fucking call them cream pies. I mean, my gosh. Oh, sorry because we, uh, I, I really want that reviewer to know that we heard him.

Uh, and we're not going to talk about the show. I, uh, was at a county fair this past weekend. My little daughter shows up to the pie in your face. Uh, uh, whatever it is, the window or whatever. And I'm like, what is, what are they going to do here? You got to, got I give her the the three tickets that you buy god I finally found my daughter puts her little five-year-old cute face in this little like a window Oh, no a hammer this spoon that throws whipped cream on her forehead. She started crying She didn't she she loves whipped cream quick question. I was was like, what did you what did you think was going to

happen? I didn't know. Oh my gosh, Patrick, it's a pine your face window. But I was like, a you know, always reminds me all this pie stuff always takes me back to Stand By Me where that big fetso ate all that food. Oh, yeah, that was great. They threw all over the place. Yeah, I can't believe that's a movie in your childhood.

Oh, yeah, Stand By Me big time. That movie over the place. Yeah, I can't believe that's a movie in your childhood. Oh, yeah. Stand by me big time. That movie always depressed me. Yeah, because it's a tough film. You know who I work on this other podcast, you know, who we interviewed the other day squints from the sandlot. You know, the kid with the glasses. Oh, my god, we just tried to watch the sandlot. My daughter said, you know, it was such a heartwarming interview, because he talked about how much the movie means to people. And oh, my daughter said no. You know, it was such a heartwarming interview because he talked about how much the movie means to people and oh my gosh, so many crazy things about that movie.

I mean, the chemistry test they had to go through for that because they need an ensemble with all these kids. You know, they really got a gel, you know what I mean? But just to think like all of the professional baseball players that really like, I mean, obviously they owe their lives to their God given ability, but also to the Sandlot. I mean, the Sandlot really turned a lot of people onto baseball, it's really cool actually. But so getting back to the show,

I was thinking about what a mirage is, and I Googled it, and getting back to the show, I actually know now that it's not you getting so psychologically tricked that you make things up, it's actually an optical illusion on the horizon, you think there's something there, but there isn't. And then also, what you think is there is actually called an oasis. I couldn't find the word it's an oasis. So let's get into the show.

All right. Okay. So the tender stock before we do, I want to say today's episode is sponsored by an amazing company. Okay, if you need a little Help if you're in a rut with wine The sponsors gonna help you out sponsors gonna help you out firstly Firstly, we'll get into the ad later. I'll say this. I signed up for it. You know, I like my Vito. Yeah. Not only did I get good wine, I got to try new things. I got a Sauvignon Blanc from South Australia. Yeah. Uh huh. I got a Rosé from Spain. Wow. Yeah. So this isn't like going to your local grocery store, looking at those racks of wine.

Yeah. This is a whole different thing. Yeah, I know you said it, you will get into it later, but listen, let's just get into it now. Pat is a wine expert, okay? If he likes this stuff, know that it's good stuff, okay? You try this, I love the name of this company. Firstly, if it's such a beautiful name, they curate wines based on our taste and deliver them right to our door. OK, now, you know, Pat's discovering fresh, bright flavors that he wouldn't have picked himself. You know, no, no, no, no, no. Citrusy whites, refreshing rosés.

OK, now we haven't been a First Leaf wine member for that long. I just signed up. But they already know exactly the wines that you like. Well and the way that they find that out is you go on their website and you just answer a couple questions. They curate it to your personal likes. And can I ask you about the flexibility of the delivery schedule? Did you find it flexible? Oh my god you just get on there and you just tell them when you want your wine. Yeah, you can choose when and where your wine ships and you know you'll be stocked up when you're hosting. And it's so fun to have different ones because let's all be honest with ourselves, right? You're going to show up at a party,

you go over to your local grocery store, the same grocery store that everyone goes to, it's the same wine, same brand. Oh, oh my gosh, you brought a Coppola Merlot. Thank you so much. That costs 9.99. Thank you. I pass by it every time I go to the grocery store. I'm so glad he sold it so that he could make Megalopolis.

Now, isn't it much cooler when you have different wines that people haven't seen before? Oh, what's this? Where'd you get that? And they think you're better than them. And you are. If you get a bottle that you absolutely do not love, it's not a problem because First Leaf has a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

No messiness. Like you go to a restaurant, you don't like the wine, you got to send it back. That's awkward. Not with First Leaf. No, no. Join First Leaf today and enjoy the fresh vibes of spring with wines you'll love. Go to tryfirstleaf.com slash bad TV to sign up. Again that is tryfirstleaf.com slash bad TV to sign up. Alright back to the show. Have we even talked about the

show? No we have not. Okay. Um, so Where do we begin? We begin with that tinder stuck on the beach and this happened despite Captain Hotpants telling first because it's the season finale we get Previously this season. Oh that ate up about three and a half minutes. I mean who needs it, you know, let's just get into it I know I mean it also it always reminds me that not much happened except for Johnny punching that clause. Yeah, Johnny punched that clause at that time. So listen, this is the the show that does this right? Below Deck is known for catastrophic cliffhangers that end in absolutely nothing. We thought that the guests were not going to be able to get to the beach.

Of course, they'll be able to get to the beach. They have another boat. But I will give credit for this. This beat, this boat is really kind of rat fucked. I mean, it's literally it looks like a feature at a water park at this point. Yeah, it's like an exhibit there for all to see. And as I think this got under Captain Hot Pants' skin to be mocked by the locals and other yachties. Look what fuckups you guys are. But Dylan, Jason points out there is a silver lining to all of this. The crew will learn from this. The bad news is the paying guests will have

more time on the boat to eject whatever food they've had in their bodies. Yeah, well, I gotta, yeah, the ship's ship's still rocky I gotta I gotta ask because we get to this dig game this dig game was very very convoluted You know, I I can't stand a game that has confusing rules. I could not track So we've got four bones in a circle of death The charter guests are supposed to sprint and bump each other out of the way so that they could get the bones as the bones The things you need to dig so the more more bones you have, the better you dig. But there was no digging. It was just kind of stuck behind a rock somewhere over there. The chest was,

so I was very confused by the entire thing. Well, I'll say this still. Yeah. Uh, on a personal level, I hate these games as a viewer and a podcaster that has to take notes and recap them. So I did none of that. If I was a Sea Rat though, I don't think I could muster the performance that Nate did as the pirate guy. A hundred knots for him. I think even Alicia at this point

with a severe case of ick, he kind of won her over here. You know, I think about that, like people performing at like children's birthday parties and stuff like that. I'm always blown away because I'm so insecure. I look at them and I go how could you do this? How could you embarrass yourself like this? You know but it's not an embarrassment to them. They're really doing it you know and

they're providing joy. Nate's embarrassing himself though. Yeah you think so? Yeah I think so yeah and and let me say this you know Alicia being turned on by this and being turned off by smoochies is very confusing. I mean, she's an odd duck. She's an odd duck. She pushed off the question later in the episode when they realized that it really wasn't the smoochies because she just comes up with a different word.

She forgot. I think it was like swilly willies or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She gets, busy. If I was one of the charter guests, obviously I would not request a pirate-themed anything. Because pirates are cool if you're reading them in like a pirate book, and it's really doing its job. But generally, they're kind of lame.

You know what I mean? Yeah. So I don't want Nate to come into the under the awning and go, are you doing this? You know, it's like I'm paying a lot of money. This touch me in a different place. You know, I own another extremely successful business where we create magic with people's aquariums, oasis, as I would say, and very often. And this has happened over the years.

There'll be a forty thousand dollar salt water aquarium that we create. And then some little crumb cruncher comes along and the dad tells me, the paying customer, do you mind putting a little pirate ship in the middle? And I look at that with disgust. You want a $12 pirate ship in a $40,000 salt water tank. Yeah, well, it's high low. You know, it's it's beluga caviar with an America slice of American cheese

or Lay's chip. Yeah, Lay's chip. You know, I mean, people really dig that stuff. But anyways, we're gonna move on to other things. Okay. You know, I gotta go get my watch today. I dumped my watch off at this repair shop that's like in the valley. I haven't been in like three weeks. I can't get out there. I don't have enough time. Wow, a watch fixer. Yeah. You know, there was a guy up until like four years ago, had a little shop on Ventura Boulevard. He fixed vacuums. I remember that guy. I'd been to that guy. I'd been to that guy.

I'd been to that guy, yeah. And that's what the Valley used to be, these hyper-specific family businesses. There's a guy selling, you know, washers, just all the washers you could possibly need for any screw you need, you know. He doesn't sell the screws, he just sells washers, right? And it's a small storefront,

and he's selling drugs out back Yeah, but there's the vacuum guy and then there's a place that sells cheese and it's not good and and the you know The the little display is there's a lot of condensation and it's hot in there I even it used to be a better place, you know, I actually I also missed the VHS videos rental stores You know blockbuster obviously got taken out. But then they had the mom and pop shops, which I assume was there for porn. What was that video place called?

Odyssey. No, it wasn't Odyssey. Odyssey was definitely there for porn. But the one on Ventura and Laurel, you know what I'm talking about? Oh, Ventura and Laurel a little ways down. I walked. I was getting yogurt one day.

And Jeff Conway. Hey, I just want to say Sorry. Yeah. Yeah, Jeff Conway. Yeah from Greece dead and Celebrity rehab with dr. Drew. He's dead. I saw him when he was still alive He walked out of that video store with a stack of porn. It was so high. I couldn't even see his face Yeah, yeah., I mean, listen, uh, he was a troubled guy. Yeah, he was a troubled guy. Gosh, I can't believe I can't remember what the heck that video place is called. All right, go ahead. Oh, okay. All right. Well, meanwhile, uh, on the boat, Marina is, uh, throwing it out there to Nick and, uh, she tells us she's being subtle with Nick, but,. But I don't think she was being subtle.

She's like, hey, I'm from Brazil. Have you ever been there? Yeah. Would you would you like to visit? Maybe I could show you around. I just text somebody that used to work there. I got to get this. You got it. I know I got to get stuck with me. I got to answer. I won't be able to brutal

I had the exact same note almost verbatim. She's like, I'm really slow playing this. No, you're not you're you're you're very very upfront about Yeah, you want to go on Safari and you want to go back and as the kids say you're kind of being thirsty Yeah, the kids do say that the kids do say that and the text is incoming. We'll have it very soon. She's read the text I'm so excited. You can see when someone reads a text if they have read receipts on okay I want this albatross off of me. Okay, why don't you text that person go? I know you just saw this Well, she's gonna get back to me. She used to work there. She knows exactly what it's called Man now the question is I Mean, why hasn't she?

It's been a minute. She just read it. I know. What are we doing? This is what I want to say about people that return responses, like you invite them. Hey, would you like to come to this party next month? The people that get back to you within 10 minutes, those are better people. It used to be looked upon.

You want something done, give it to a busy person. That kind of thing. That's what you're talking about, right? You know what I mean? You don't respond for three and a half weeks, you're a loser. Yeah, I think so too. All right, so Alicia and Nate are flirting a little bit.

Fucking Sea Rats, man, no conviction. They're so wishy washy about things. Well, she did stick to her guns. She did this episode, but in this moment, I thought that they were going to flirt again. And also, I don't think it's nice to say, we're not going to do anything and then continue with the head leaning and the moushees and stuff like that.

It's like, don't do that to that guy. He's a golden doodle of a man. OK, it's going to break him. I have to tell you, as a bosun, I think he's probably one of the nicest bosuns we've had. Yeah, I thought he was great. He did shipwreck that ship that, you know, there. But aside from that, it's fine.

But I'll tell you what, it actually offered an upside, Dylan. 2020 video. 2020 video. 2020 video. That's what it was called. And it is on Ventura, but not at Laurel Canyon. It's a little ways down.

Oh, I love Beckett so much. It was 2020 video and weirdly I just spent the day with my friend Amy who used to work there with me. LOL. That's so ask her if Jeff Conway, the guy who I'm not gonna ask her that. Okay. Okay. Well, anyway, the guests head back and that leaves Nate to take in the local wildlife, which is bats and wild dogs. Yeah. Um, it was so good to see the bros helping out at the end. Oh my God. Yes. Some locals, just, just the bros just like, Hey, let's, let's help each other out here.

You know, you're in a sticky situation that boats boats on land. Yeah, right now. Yeah. That's nice. What are you doing? You taxi that person? Yeah, I'm really sorry. But she's so sweet. She got back to me. I gotta get back. But I totally ask her if you don't mind if Jeff Conway ever came in. Sure. Remember him. He was in Greece. He was Kenneki. Ask him if she thought he had a porn addiction.

Okay, I'm not gonna ask her that. Okay. Okay. All right. Should I continue? Yeah. All right. So then we have lunch. Guests head back. And in the galley, Laura makes a rather ridiculous request. This is the, this was the dust up of between her and Serena. She wants to reduce the amount of courses for dinner because of limited cutlery. Yeah. Z says okay and then proceeds to go up and talk with the charter guests and then agrees to the simple things. One small detail that you missed. Malibu pineapples are served to the guests. That's a trash drink. Oh, that's trash. Yeah, that's trash. I think my, that's from another time too. Yeah, 2007. Yeah, yeah, a little older. No, I'm older. I mean, for me, it's 2007. That's a trash drink. But yes, Laura, you're being unreasonable here. There are

a couple things here that make this thing with Laura like really really bad given her station and the standards that she's been yelling and fighting about with all season. I think that was correct language. One How do you not know what's going on? It's on the preference sheet. How is this a surprise to you? You're the chief stew, okay? two was this a surprise to you? You're the chief stew. Okay. To the thought that she would ask the chef to go tell the paying customers to change a requested last time is so bananas to me.

Because it's very easy at the end of the day. And we'll see that yes, it was challenging, but they nailed it at the end. But if you're concerned about the lack of cutlery and plates, you have provisions, get plates, get new stuff. It's great boy, the preference sheet meeting if you see it coming, plan for it, like any good general would, you know, Laura, we'll have anybody on this goddamn podcast, please come on here and try and make your case.

I don't think you will be able to. You were the unhinged one here. You were the unreasonable one here. Yeah. This says a lot to me. Oh my gosh. And especially her not being able to let it go when Zarina, look, Zarina has her issues.

She can be, I think she wants to be liked. She's got a bad gut. Bad gut. Bad gut. I think she can be moody. She did it perfectly. She navigated this perfectly. She goes, I'm not going to get into a fight with her about this, even though she was well within her rights to do so. She went up to the guests. She didn't try to talk them out of it. She talked to them about the dinner. They were still very excited about it and And she bailed out of the conversation, OK? Because to do anything other than that would be ridiculous. I want to talk about the leeway that the horrible, mean,

aggressive chefs have gotten on this show. Talking about Leon threatened to kill Queen of the Sea Kate Chastain. Oh, yeah. We had Pizza Rat. We've had Malia's boyfriend that came on after that sad sack of Whatever his name was and then we also had a Matt who was a nightmare. Yeah, we've had some really Idiot chefs. Yeah, that's me. That's knee hurt all the time. Yes, it did

Yeah, and Tom British Tom he would go bug Malia while she was sleeping for it for a freaking hand jobs. Completely ridiculous. How about that one was like, Hey, yeah. The small refrigerator. That's right. Like my meat. Yeah, like my meat. Yeah, creepy, creepy.

Yeah. I want to go to the bottom of the ocean and get a living animal and put it on the middle of the table dead and frothing. Bend over. What do you see down there? Do you see my meat? Now I see an animal that you've taken out of its natural habitat and killed slowly through deprivation of oxygen. My point is Serena in that world is a refreshing kind of normie. Well let's get it get to a very refreshing dinner. It is a seven course dinner they've got the French chef's hat hats on and they're ready to go. I wanted to ask you Dylan what is the origin story of the tall white chefs?

No clue. I could look it up though. All right. Cause they don't seem practical to me. Maybe look it up because I use them as a trash can. You know what I mean? Like you, uh, you cut a fish's head off, you know, you're prepping for dinner and you just throw the fucking head in that hat. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's actually a really, really good idea. Right? Yeah. Yeah. You know, I'm looking for a Wikipedia on this,

and it's just like all these things about buying them. Who wants to buy them? It depends on where you are in the world, but for the most part, it's a classic French thing, hundreds of years old. Oh, I can't, a lot of places. This means they emulated the French. I mean, look, a lot of military back in the day,

they wore like weird hats that I don't think helped them like avoid swords and bullets, you know? Yeah. So. A lot of different publications likely give Kareem credit as the inventor of the modern day chef's torque has to do with the propensity to attribute, okay. Dylan, I'm telling you, they never talk about it.

It's used as a trash can. You like cut the balls off of a chicken. Look at how much fluff there is here. Just say- Get to the fucking chorus. It's tall, it's empty, it's on your head. We've seen film where people carry, you know, buckets on their fucking head. This it's a trash can. You cut the balls off a chicken. What's the easiest thing to do? You're busy. You throw it up in the air. It ends up in your hat.

Oh my gosh. I'm so sick of people doing this, man. I really, this is sticking to my craw too. I got to get to the bottom. That World Wide Web is just filled with a bunch of nonsense. That's a bunch of nonsense. And now you got these AI things propping up all over the place. You don't know what's real. Ask AI.

What's up with those big, big, tall French chefs hats? Are they for throwing chicken balls in? Let's see what it says. Do do do do do do do do. Ah, the towering French chef hats. You're talking about the toque blunch. It's a status symbol. The height of the hat traditionally indicated

the chef's rank in the kitchen. The taller the hat, the more senior the chef. That's silly. Some tokes have pleats, each representing the technique or recipe. And the practical use, this is what we've been searching for the entire time. They help keep hair out of the food and absorb sweat.

This whole time, you could have just freaking wrapped around a bandana around you but no not the French. The French have to come up with tall, tall silly little hats to show that they're better than everybody else. I like it. There is a practicality to it. I will say this though. This AI thing, sure it will end up being robots killing us. Yeah, pretty helpful. But right now, extremely helpful. Yeah, because you go to humans and they're like wax and... We just read what human beings do. It's way more efficient. It's ridiculous. Alright, let's get to the dinner. First up, we've got a fresh leek and goat cheese tart heavy on the goat cheese and the Charter guest like to asparagus with

Hollandaise sauce. Fish roe, classic preparation of the vegetable. We've got a leek puree with scallops, smoked beetroot tartare with horseradish. If we're going to do tartare, let's do beef tartare. OK. Yeah. And also, I got a pet peeve with calling it beetroot.

It's just beets. It's just chopped up beets. But listen, it's light. It's vegetal. We've got a long meal ahead of us. Let's not go crazy. Although, I do think a tartare can be light. What did you think of her saving the major protein

and mash for the final course? I loved it. I thought the pacing and the arc of this dinner was perfect. Saffron lobster risotto is up next. And a beef wellington with palm puree classic ends the dinner dessert is a baked Alaska a nostalgic confectionary delight. I would give this dinner 100 pots. 100 pots. Absolutely. Literally no notes. No notes. Like I said the pacing was there the arc was

there and at the end of all of, Laura decides that she needs to have a conversation with Serena. Okay, and to which I would ask is what the fuck is wrong with you is the question I would ask. Can I tell you what I think it is? I think she wanted captured on film, like one more shootout. Because you guys, I guess one of the perks of being a goddamn Sea Rat is short term employment, right? I mean, some would look at that as a negative thing, you know, you gotta jump from ship to ship, but if you're really not getting along well with others, you can piss people off, it's eight weeks

and you never have to fucking see them again. I'll tell you this though, that, sorry, I had to do those truncated breaths. Oh, I thought you were cold like I am. I can't feel my shoulder right now because it's so cold in here. Well, don't. You want me to turn it off? You want me to turn it off?

I feel like we've gone... I can turn it off if you want me to. Do you mind? You're a little pussy, you know that? I am. I don't like being cold. That's my one little bitch thing. You know why I moved to Los Angeles? I was 16 years old. I would get dropped off at my old house that I lived in.

For the school bus to pick me up because we didn't want to pay extra fees because I was living in a different city and During the winter the wind chill factor would be like they say it was 20 degrees out The wind would just go through my entire body and I remember saying to myself I can't wait till I graduate high school because I'm getting the fuck out of here. Can I tell you something? Can I be honest with you? Mm-hmm Everything in my body was telling me to cut that story off at the past and just completely ignore it. You know, because we knew where it was going. You were gonna, oh you were cold, so you moved out to life. Like who gives a shit, you know what I mean? But it was a major factor. I would say, and listen, I have the same reason for

wanting to move the other way. It's too hot. It's too hot. Tired of it. Too much sun. The only problem with the short- Tired of the too much sun. The only problem with the short term thinking of the Sea Rat is that while yes, technically they are short term assignments, the community of the Sea Rats are very incestuous. So you'll run into these people that you've scorned over and over and over again in let's say, Tampa. again in let's say Tampa. It's very likely. However, I think that if you really have hatred for someone, I think there's a way that you could avoid working with him again. Yeah.

Well listen, Laura says that Serena has attacked her work ethic and her character. Hey, Laura, you asked the chef to go convince the guests to not do a seven course dinner. I think your work ethic and character is in question. This was one of those, because I was a little confused over the drama between her and Zarina all season. Of course I felt Lara was being a little nitpicky at the very least. But to end like this, where I'm attempting to lay down justice, what is this Dylan? Oh is this an ad read? Are you gonna make me do an ad read while you're taking a leak? Alright, RULA! Dylan, I can't do this! And the reason I can't do it is because the font of the ad read is so microscopic to my old eyes, I can't actually read it.

I'm sorry, I had to pee pee so bad. It's okay. You know what, I'm so grossed out by people. Can you imagine not wiping up after yourself? We have a, I don't want to say anyone's name crazy but we share this studio with a couple podcasts and for whatever reason someone decides to pee in the shared bathroom Toilet and not flush the toilet It's really disgusting leave it the way that you found it. I mean, it's crazy. Have people lost decency

Are you struggling with that? Well, then you need a little bit of mental help. God, I feel like this ad reads for that person that we work with that keeps not flushing the toilet. Definitely. The only thing you can hope is that they recognize it themselves because you need to go about this voluntarily and with a whole heart. Okay, but if you do choose to do that, then you can use RULA. RULA, you can find the right therapist for you.

Do you mean that because I feel like I've been reborn. I definitely mean it. You just blinked at me like I'm nuts. No, no, no. I had something in my eye. You got some more work to do because I had something in my eye. Listen, there's dedication to quality care and therapy progress. Okay, Rula is committed to, come on man, Rula is committed to see you succeed in reaching your therapy goals, making sure their providers are carefully screened and vetted. That's the best part,

right? Yeah, my first therapist, we weren't connecting. I got my second therapist, we are connecting. We do meetups once a week. But the best really good about the best part is that that first person even though you didn't jive with them It's a very very fragile relationship. They were at least vetted, right? You didn't have somebody pop it on the zoom with you know a Face tattoo that said I don't believe in therapy. You know, that's a creep. That would

be crazy. Like did you vet these people? Right? Rula does. Thousands have already trusted Rula to support them on their journey towards improved mental health and overall well-being.

Probably gonna have to do that one again, but that's okay. I thought it was perfect. I think that's the thought to do. Now Alicia and Nate, unfortunately no more smoochies. She's in fall, she's in fallen in love, done falling in love with cooking. With her craft.

Yep. I understand that. Although that's always a lie. When someone dumps you or says that they can't be with you because They need to focus on something That's really just it out. Yeah, I've fallen in love with hunting. I'm gonna be gone for some time. I Can't be with you. I can't be with you. There are Rams to kill in the Central Coast Alright next morning that's morning being a chef is a continuous process

Serena says you're never a master at the end of the day And to Serena, I would say I think that's pretty much all professions, you know, I mean think about it Breakdancing yeah, probably never done with that new moves all the time all these kids They're always like taking the form to another level All these kids they're always like taking the form to another level I've been watching all the bring it on there's like nine of them. Yeah. Oh by the time you get to like In it to win it. Yeah, like these I'm seeing people like hover from the floor with their heads. I know I Mean, it's like is this dancing or is it magic?

You know, when when I see a jungle video. I'm almost brought to tears at the choreography and professionalism that these people are capable of reaching. And getting back to Serena and the show below deck, they're not at the top yet. No, no, no. Still a while. Many tacos with chorizo for breakfast that's not for Patty in the morning I'll tell you that it's not for Dilly in the morning either Bree and Laura play with prawns and Bree's a

little stressed about the exclusive partnership but but the term exclusive partnership has given her room to breathe Which is very confusing these kids man very confused. Yeah now the charter season and we'll get to the fact that you know, there's a There's a joke here to be made that She felt ease with the brand though the brand itself Being as stupid as it is led to the slip of the tongue girlfriend boyfriend as easily as it did so it's rather humorous to take any solace in the security of the turb exclusive partnership which means Boyfriend girlfriend these kids man. I gotta tell you man. It's just crazy

The charter season is over when appreciated we did it bloody well and When really did appreciate it bad But let's get to the tip. I'm just gonna say I'm gonna round up 30 grand. They made a lot of money. But you know, see rats, it's like sand falling through their hands. They're just gonna piss it away. Yeah, there says she's rich. I mean, rich in rich. I mean rich in experience I take. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Serena gets the helmet if there's any indication of Laura and Serena. You know what? This is what happened. The notes not

complete. And you know what I did? I tried to speak, then recall, finish, couldn't do it. Are you talking this is every time we podcast. I mean, bro, that would pay Pat, bro. That was a freaking pole vault. And my pole just snapped in half. That's okay. Thank God. I didn't kill anybody. Everyone is so happy to have money because they're rich, of course. Yeah. And they all hit those cabins and snuggle up there. But not for Mr. and Mrs. Kissy Wissy.

No, no, no, no. He's confused about the term exclusive partnership because it's confusing and very dumb. He calls her his girlfriend. Oh, we're referring to Harry. I was referring to Nate and Alicia. Oh. I do want to say this.

When I watch these two crazy little kids, Brie and Harry, you don't hold someone with their face that close to you doing the smoochies and kissy missy's unless you're really into them. That is an intimate place. It's boyfriend girlfriend. It's boyfriend girlfriend stuff. We get to dinner, big cheers for lifelong Serena gives kudos skipped over that fire show with that guy looked like a goddamn wizard. I wish I could hire him Yeah, I think he'd light my backyard on fire. He definitely would yeah, he definitely would you know, these people are dangerous They don't have good spatial awareness. They don't know what they're doing. Yeah Also, I don't know what the permit process is over there at seashells Did I tell you 40% of the population is addicted to heroin there in Seychelles? Yeah.

Yeah, I think, uh, uh, uh, you know, I was reading the other day, Palestinian dissidents were sent to the Seychelles for, for punishment by the, you know, you know, my folks, the J's, yeah. Yeah.ays? Yeah. Yeah, the Jays sent them to the Seychelles. And now fast forward a half century, and people are partying out there addicted to heroin. Wow. It's great. Sounds like Australia.

Yep. All right, so Serena gives kudos to Laura. And Laura says she's a lying bitch. All right, so this blew my mind. You know what blows my mind? These boys going to the bathroom with each other all the time. That blows my mind. But anyways, go ahead.

OK. First, I want to deal with the Zarina Laura thing. All right. In a working environment, as you near the end of the business relationship. Yeah, Jim Morrison sings. You just give the kudos, even if you kind of don't mean it. Yeah.

Because it's the last note. It's the last page you kind of don't mean it. Yeah, because it's just it's the last note It's the last page of the book you close it at least you went out with some class. Yeah, and listen I get you know Vengeance right kind of Monte Cristo makes sense to me But imagine being this vengeful over this fucking meaningless of a quarrel. It's pathetic. It's pretty stupid.

And these are adult people. I the whole thing that grudge is ridiculous. Now in the guys P dorm. Yeah. Nate talks about Alicia. I think he thinks he's still got a shot here, but he doesn't realize that he doesn't. I want to say this to Alicia. I of course don't have sex with anybody you don't want to but I in my personal life have had sex with

people I don't even like. Yeah. Let it go if the kissy missy or whatever like it's your last night you should have cheap meaningless sex. Here's the thing though do you have cheap meaningless sex with. Here's the thing, though. Do you have cheap, meaningless sex with protection? Because then you might as well just you know, I'd rather watch YouTube shorts. Yeah. No. You know, it's it's fine. condoms are fine. You know, it's great. It's it's it's good that people are safe out there. Does it diminish it a little bit? Yeah, but I mean, it's it's good that people are safe out there. Does it diminish it a little bit? Yeah, but I mean it's still fun

I uh, what an odd thing. Well, maybe this is like I'd be speaking out of turn. I In the comments, let us know this dude that was with his girlfriend for seven years and they only had sex with a condom I guess maybe she was averse to like the pill or something. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, I mean I get it you know for for too long the the burden of protection has been placed on the the the female. And I get people just going, you know. But females don't like condoms either. I know that's the problem. I don't understand why we don't have a pill. I take the pill. You can get an arm injection. Can you? Yeah. I'm not doing that. All right, let's get to really we rip it the heck up, man. not doing that. All right. Let's get

to really we rip it the heck up and we're dancing in the rain. This is like a freaking Jennifer Lopez video. Did you look at my notes? No, I really did. Did you? I really did it. No way. That is crazy. Great. My second, like tonight, you can be a way. I think I'm dating a rapist. Oh, you definitely are. You don't need to think about it.

That's two plus two equals four dear. Oh, wow, that is so crazy. So yeah, we get some pretty cool lesbo stuff. Yeah, Alicia and Serena really doing some cool lesbo stuff and poor poor Nate, I mean, he's like, my God. Yeah, you lose her. You fucking. You turned her to this.

That's how unattractive you are. We like Nate. And poor Marina, too. I think Nick is going to break that lady's heart. Maybe, or just never pick up the phone again. Yeah, that's pretty heartbreaking. She tells Nick, in essence, she wants to spend the rest of her life with him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like, uh, I think that sounds Amenable I'd liked Nick this season to it. We mocked him a lot, but I will say with Marina I do think this is alcohol motivated a little bit, but it's also love young C red love Alicia backs that shit up onto Harry and young C-Rat love, Alicia backs that shit up onto Harry and um, Bray's not happy. No, no, no. Bray is not happy. You know, one of the uh, what was our former colleague used to say uh,

nature's most powerful aphrodisiac? Is uh, fear. Fear. Yeah. No, no, no, no. It's competition. You know, it's so funny because freak dancing is really, you know, it's a move, right?

It's not a half measure. It's backing that shit up into a dick, you know what I mean? And I used to, you know, when we were in junior high school, I mean, we used to freak dance like that. You know, our tiny little peckers would chub up and flop themselves on the thighs of the daughters of fathers that we were dancing

at. You know, with to think about the chaperones of these dances, looking at the fucking depravity of this pod of children in front of you. I can't even imagine what they were saying. I mean, they're literally banging away at each other to this Neo song. I mean, it's pathetic. Crazy. So anyways, we get to the vans and we really make it official. We make it official. Yeah. We've changed from exclusive partners all the way to exclusive partners, which is really crazy. It's quite an evolution. You treat them like dirt. They stick like mud. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, dear. I, uh, it's a marvel. She doesn't know why she chose to bump up

the status of the relay. It's because that woman backed her ass into her. That's exactly why. Yeah, no, Pikachu to Ryachu. I mean, this is a beautiful thing. We get to the next day and we get to our departures. Now we always wind down here. I stop writing notes generally at this point. The one thing is that Laura and Serena,

exhausting at this point, more gaslighty shit from Laura. She doesn't want to listen or hear anything. She just wants to force feed her broken emotional state onto other people and it's like come on Laura I know but listen like we say caveat every time people people change these are snapshots of people's lives and people can get better but right now very very yucky and also a very ugly note to go out on yeah a dare is weird Laura says goodbye to captain she heads up to get the kind words that she needs more than anything and then Serena heads up and I'm really proud of Serena I think she knocked it out of the park.

And above all, you know, when we're talking about growth, right, exclusive partners to exclusive partners and stuff like that, Zarina really does grow here and she goes, I don't fucking give a shit about Laura. Perfect. That's the hero's journey right there. There it is. Back and forth and in between and all around.

Guys, it's been an unbelievable season. We're so grateful that you guys listened to the show and we're so sorry that we talked about 2020 video and chef's hats and stuff like that pretty much everything and anything about the show but I wanted to get to a couple more reviews because the reviews have been coming in and they've been really really sweet help us get to 2000 yeah let's let's let's keep them rolling in we're about to start a new season of below deck so it'd be really really awesome to have them rolling in Oh captains my to start a new season of Below Deck, so it'd be really, really awesome to have them rolling in.
