Hey everyone, welcome back to the Mentioned at All podcast.
I am so excited to be joined today by a lovely returning guest.
It's been a couple years since we caught up, but she has a new season of Below Deck Med out now.
Aisha Scott, welcome back to the show.
How is life?
How are you?
Thank you.
I am so, so well.
Honestly, life is just going great.
It just keeps getting better and better and better.
And it's such a fun, crazy journey.
Half the time I don't know what's around the corner.
because every time I check my email inbox, something else is popping up.
But yeah, I'm just having a really fun time.
We were talking before we started that the last time we chatted on the show was two years ago
when you were on a different below deck franchise.
You were on below deck down under for the first two seasons.
And then you came home to med.
Came home to Mama, yes.
What has that journey been like in these last, you know, five or six years?
Starting on med, second stewing for a couple seasons.
then we got to see you take on that new, new challenge, new franchise, Chief Stu on Down Under,
and then now these last two seasons, back on med, back with Sandy.
Yeah.
What has this roller coaster been like just kind of living it?
It has been incredible and rewarding, but also so challenging.
Obviously, like, I find being a second stew is so easy.
You've got someone that's telling you what to do and you've got no responsibility and everything
doesn't come down on you and then getting the opportunity to, you know, be the face of a new
franchise and become a Chief Stu and push myself. And that way, it was so awesome. But I remember
that first season that I became Chief Stu. The single most stressful experience I've ever had
in my life, I was freaking out. I knew that I could do it. It was just so hard. Like, I used to
wake up at two in the morning every single night that I was on that boat, just driveting. Just driveting.
whipping in sweat, not just like damp, but like my bed would be wet just from sweating so much.
So, but, you know, you're not going to grow in life if you don't challenge yourself in some way.
So I'm so grateful for that experience because it shaped me into what I like to think as a great Chief Stu now.
Yeah.
And it was really cool being able to hone those skills a bit away from Sandy and then come back to Sandy as like, it's like this metamorphosis.
I transformed into this Chief Stu and then I got to come back and show her what I'd
achieved.
I do feel like being a Chief Stu to me just always, I mean, I've only ever watched these shows.
I've never tried to do any of these jobs.
Yeah, don't.
I don't recommend it.
It just looks so stressful.
It's so hard.
It's so hard.
But that's why I feel so proud of myself because when I think about how stressful it was
the first season and even the second season,
And now when I'm doing it, it doesn't really stress me out at all.
And I'm like, how cool.
It just shows that anything that you put your mind to, eventually it's going to become your norm.
So it's cool to see that growth.
Yeah.
It's like, but also there's a balance because it's like you get used to what the job requires.
But then also every three days, every season is something completely different.
And you have a new third stew who doesn't know how to do laundry.
Yes, I know.
But that's like, that's, that in itself has taught me so.
much. You know, it taught me how to
pivot and problem solve
and it's also helped me so much in
my own life because through
having stews that can't really do
their jobs, I've had to have
hard conversations and
prior to that, like if
say if Scott had done something that had
bothered me or whatever, that confrontation
freaked me out because I was always a
people pleaser. And so through
the show, I've learned to have
the hard conversations and now
Now I don't find them uncomfortable at all.
So it's growing me in many ways.
You're like the dishes were not done correctly.
Yeah.
Now he's like, oh God, she's telling me too much.
You're like walking Sandy.
Yeah.
I do think like, because on on these charters, it's like if something isn't getting done
correctly, it's not just like, oh, well, like see how it goes.
It's like it needs to be fixed next time.
Yes.
And there's so much pressure of like, you know, on this season we see Sandy with Nathan
who's a bosun for the first time and she's like okay by charter three like this shit needs to be
working exactly because also when we're on charter we have got there is so insanely much to do
that if's like i because i i do find sometimes especially the season with brie and ellie
i did see online some people were like i don't understand why i actually didn't just take the time
to train them more and i'm like when the f would i have time to train people when
I'm running a four-person boat with like a four-stue boat with three stews and I've got a billion job of my own jobs to do.
You know, so as soon as someone's not performing at 100%, then that ripples through and everyone else has more on their plate.
Right.
Because I was like, that whole season I didn't take any breaks.
I was running around doing my job and half of their jobs as well, which was exhausting.
Well, also because I think it's like you're on the boat 24 hours a day and then that's getting edited to a 43 minute episode.
So if you're just off doing your job and you're competent and getting things done, the camera is going to follow the person who's messing up the laundry.
And they're not going to show you like busy all day, just checking things off the list.
So naturally it's like we're going to spend more time with the thing that's not going well and not see like all the kind of like boring good work that's being done.
Yes, exactly.
Because that's not interesting.
It is like this season right off the bat, we're seeing that the deck crew is like,
struggling a little bit more.
What is it like for you?
I liked that because it wasn't my department.
So I was going to ask, when it's not your team that's messing up, obviously, like you said
that's still a ripple effect through the boat, but is there kind of a moment where you're
like, okay, like, yes.
Well, yeah, I must admit, the naughty little girl inside of me was, I was very happy that
it just wasn't my department because the whole year before I had such a hard time.
So I did say to Nathan and I'm like, shame, your turn now, I don't really care.
But, you know, realistically, yeah, if Nathan's stressed, then that means because because we are like understaffed in the interior, we do rely so much on the deck hands coming through and like taking our bins for us and helping with dishes and helping run plates.
And if Nathan's constantly busy because his team's not doing their work, then that means I don't have them available as backup.
Right.
And also just like keeping the guests entertained.
Entertain.
I know.
Oh my God.
It's like if the jet skis aren't out, they're going to be ordering another drink from you.
Yes, exactly.
Exactly.
And I'm, you know, I can talk the hind legs off a donkey.
I'm very good with service.
But sometimes it's nice.
Like sometimes I like I just go up to one of the deck team.
And I'm like, please can you go and make conversation for five minutes so I can just like go to the toilet.
Well, it's too.
Because with the, with the guests, it's like you guys get such a broad range of people.
coming through.
Yeah.
Sometimes it's Dubai, Bitcoin, bro.
Yes.
Sometimes it's somebody who you might have stuff in common with.
Sometimes it's somebody who like, you just do not vibe with at all.
And it's like you have to maintain that seven star, you know, personable level.
Yeah.
And that must be kind of exhausting sometimes.
Yeah.
And I feel I'm very lucky because I feel like I've got a pretty good EQ and I'm like a good
read of people and I love making conversation.
I'm curious about people, so I do find it easier than others to chat to anyone.
But, yeah, when you're having to make those conversations constantly,
while you've got a million other things to do in the back of house,
it can get tiring for sure.
But, you know, it's again, it's just another skill set that you hone.

Coming back for this season, so it's your sixth season of Below Deck overall.
It's your fourth time as the Chiefs, too.
It's your first season coming back since you got engaged.
Yes.
Thank you.
excited. So it's, because of the way the calendar works, it's been a while. Like, you got engaged last year.
Yes. Yeah. What was it like kind of, or how has it been kind of navigating your yachting career
alongside your personal life and now kind of entering this new chapter and coming back for the new season?
Well, I feel very fortunate because it's actually been so easy because Scott and I, we've, we're so
independent, we're such independent people. And ever since we first got together, we've spent
so much time apart because we got together in COVID and so I got I got trapped in New Zealand like
three times and then ever since then because of work I always spend about six months of the year
away from him and so luckily through because of that through this whole yachting journey it hasn't
really affected our relationship at all but you know it'd be nice to get married and maybe
spend a bit more time together yeah do you what's the wedding what's the wedding planning
status. Oh, all done is so easy. You know, I'm a Chief Stu baby. So I'm like, oh my God,
planning weddings is so easy. You're like, as long as I don't have to do the tablescape for myself.
Yeah, exactly. I've got someone doing that. And we're doing Thai. That's the part that I'm most excited
about Thai food. So, because I was like, if I'm going to be tipsy at my wedding, I want to be
slurping down at Pad C, you know, that's what I want some like weird chicken. Yeah, I want
all the tie everything yeah that i i love that yeah yum because i hate when you go to weddings and you're
like half cut and they're giving you i don't know asparagus bacon wrapped asparagus or like all the super
fancy stuff and i'm like when i'm tipsy i don't want fancy i want like cut like spices and
are there going to be any uh below deck faces at your wedding yes gail and nathan are coming
um sandy and lea are coming hannah and her husband and then anastasia and her husband
I love the below deck
family
really is such a
fascinating special group of people
I feel like because you guys bring together
it's totally all over the world
you might never be in the same place
at the same time except for like I don't know
Bravo con but I feel like there is such a bond
between so many of the people that have been on these shows
especially somebody like you who's been on multiple seasons
who's come back, who's really done kind of the rounds with Below Deck.
Like, what is it like kind of being a part of that community?
It's honestly so beautiful.
And, I mean, if you look at my Instagram inbox right now,
I think, like, the top three at the moment is like Fraser, Daisy, and then Anthony, you know.
And I was just talking to Anthony this morning about how much I love our Below Deck family.
Because, you know, we're in this weird world, like this yachting world,
not as much as you will try and explain it to people and like the viewers are watching it,
unless you've done it, you can't understand how difficult it is.
And I think that we just love to lift each other up and give each other a clap and support each other.
Not only the yachting world, but you also have the added layer of being in the yachting world on a TV show.
Yes.
And doing both of those jobs at the same time and navigating all of that.
So when you think about somebody like Fraser, somebody like Daisy, it's like there are literally
like six or seven people in the world who have done exactly what you've done.
Who can actually understand it. Yeah. And it's like I'll try, I've tried to explain it to Scott so
many times, but I'm like, I can still tell that he just doesn't quite get it fully. Yeah.
I think too, a lot of, I mean, obviously with below deck, a lot of people come through as like a deckhand
or a stew and we maybe only see them for one season. But there is something, you know,
with the handful of you guys that have really been able to to keep it to keep at it.
But it's like, that's a really like unique, I don't know, lifestyle.
It's amazing.
And when I first started the show, I had no idea it would lead to all of this.
I don't even know what the show was when I first started.
I just heard that there was like, my friend Tommy, there was this TV show that films what we do and I should do it.
And I always wanted to work in TV.
So I was like, yeah, absolutely.
Film, like, didn't watch any of it before I went because I love to just go into things blind and see how I go.
And then finished and still didn't really.
know what it was and it wasn't until I was in New York. I think for my very first watch what happens
live and I was walking down the road and someone came ran up and they're like oh my god Asia and I
called someone from the network and I was like is this like a big show or something.
Yeah it's like what um some of the highest ratings? Yeah I just had no idea and then you know
because most people just do one season so then I thought that that would be my own line and then
got asked to come back for five thought that would be the only thing so because he's a
Season five, you came back partway through, right?
Yes, like halfway through.
Because that was like when Hannah was when that whole situation was happening.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
And then so, yeah, when after that, I really had no idea what it would lead to.
Well, and it's interesting because you've, I mean, I feel like you have an interesting position,
almost kind of like bridging eras of below deck.
Because when you first started, Hannah was still on the show.
You worked with people like Colin, Joao.
Yeah.
you know, Malia.
Yeah.
And then, you know, Med was almost...
The OG era kind of...
Med was still kind of like the new show.
Yeah.
Compared to Below Deck OG.
Yeah.
And then starting down under, coming back to Med, it really feels like you've kind of like,
I don't know, you like bridge the eras a little bit.
Yeah, well, I feel like I'm one of the few left really from that time of Below Deck.
Yeah.
I mean, it's an honor.
I'm like, thank you so much for asking me back all the time.
You're like, I don't know.
How many...
I don't know how I did it.
How many of these do I have left in me?
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I mean, yeah, it'll end at some point.
It's so exhausting.
Well, it's a tough show.
I mean,
I talked to Fraser earlier this year when his season was coming out.
And like, just think, like, this is not, it's not a job that you can do halfway.
It's not a job.
You can't be a, you can't stay on the show, but kind of like stop doing all the work.
Yes, exactly.
It is so, so, so exhausting.
And exactly as you say, you can't go on.
and half-assed it. It's like you have to throw yourself into it. And yeah, I don't think I'll ever do
anything this difficult again in my life. You're like, you could put me on literally any other show.
Yeah. Like, well, because when I did The Amazing Race, I remember the, yeah. Yeah, and I remember like the
psychologist from there beforehand, he was like, I just want to make sure that you're really
mentally prepared for this. It's really grueling, blah, blah, blah. And I said to him, I'm like,
well, I've done below deck, so I don't think it's going to be very hard. And he kind of laughed. And he
to me and he's like yeah we'll see how you feel about that afterwards oh my god it was so easy
compared to it's like it's like 10 hour days kind of thing would be the longest day compared to my
like usual 18 hour day so i called him afterwards and i was like i told you well i feel like when
you're on a competition show it's like you're running around and you're like doing challenges or
whatever but it's like it's very like you're performing in the challenge it's like on below tack it's
like, no, I'm like scrubbing toilets.
Oh my God, the pressure.
It's like I'm literally hosting people.
Like I'm running a whole effing ship.
That's so insane.
Yeah.

Can you talk a little bit about working?
You've worked with Captain Sandy four seasons now on med, but then you also got to work with Captain Jason, who people love.
Yes.
What is it like kind of the difference between chief stewing under the two different captains?
I feel like it was, I feel like to be honest, it's been pretty similar because I've got such a good relationship with both of them, you know, like Jason was kind of like this brother-sister type relationship and then Sandy's like a best friend kind of relationship, you know, but I've so enjoyed coming back to Sandy and every time we film together or, you know, because we hang out in real life as well.
And our bond has just gotten so close and so strong.
And I feel like it's such a gift in my life.
I love hearing that because I think like obviously, you know, when you're the captain,
when you're the boss, like you can't always make everyone happy.
You can't always, you know, it's not, you wouldn't be doing your job if you were just like
super nice to everyone all the time.
Like you have to lay down the law a little bit.
And I think especially I imagine for Sandy as a one.
woman in a very male dominated field.
Like, that's a tough line to walk for, and she's done it for 10 years on this show.
Yeah.
And whatever, whatever people might say about, like, how she handle a specific situation or if
she could be like a little nicer sometimes.
Yeah.
She's like a, she's like the boss.
She does such a phenomenal job.
She's easily one of the best captains I've ever worked with.
And she knows what she's doing, man.
and what I really appreciate about her
is ever since I came back to work for her as her chiefs do
she she doesn't she's never ever interfered in my interior
like she just fully trust me to run it and she lets me do my thing
and like she doesn't come in and do like checks or anything
she's like yep you go and do it
and but I do wish I think because we've got so much footage
that we're editing down and you've got to get the stuff where she's
giving people you know talking to or whatever
But I do wish that people saw more of Sandy's silly side because I'll just go into the bridge
and sit with her and we just cry laughing, laughing, laughing.
Yeah.
We have the best time.
She's so silly.
She's like a big kid.
Yeah.
It's like that's the other, that's another thing that's like, unfortunately really easy to just
kind of get rid of in the edit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like when you, when you're on the boat for six weeks together, it's like, yeah, there's
got to be times when you're just like having fun hanging out.
Yes.
Yes, and we're like, we both have really big inner childs, you know, so we're just, we're just so silly together and I love it.
I think, yeah, I think it's cool to see, like, how she's been able to, you know, take both her yachting career, but also, like, the platform of the show.
Yeah.
For a decade now and really, like, make that into such a huge thing.
Oh, she's done so well.
She's got a book and she does all of her speaking stuff.
She's got an amazing charity.
Like, she's trying to get, um, the, like, the, like, the, like, the, like, the,
a yachting curriculum like put into schools and you know just to show them that that's a career
path that you can take and she does so many amazing things with her platform speaking of that how did
what was your like first exposure to yachting being a thing that you could do like how did you
get started so i was so i went to uni and i did a double science degree at uni and then i moved
back to my hometown um and i wanted to be like a i i didn't like a geotech engineer or just
something to do with anything sort of like earth science at home, but I couldn't find a job
on what I wanted. So I was working at a clothing store and my sister was working at a pharmacy,
my sister Courtney, who's three years younger, and she just called me one day at work. And she's like,
oh my gosh, some lady was just telling me about this thing called yachting. It sounds amazing.
I'll tell you all about it. And she told me about it. And I was absolutely sold on that phone
call. And so we both hung up the phone that day, handed in our resignations that day. Two weeks later,
we did the course and then two weeks after that we flew to France and started walking the docks
together. So it was so impulsive, which is how I live my whole life. And honestly, it's the best
decision I ever made, the best thing I could have done with my life. How long did your sister
stayed yachting? She's actually only just quit because she's pregnant. So she's, we've been,
that was 10 years ago. Did you ever work together like on?
Yeah.
On a boat.
Yeah, we worked on motor yacht kisses together.
It was the best.
Although she was my Chief Stu on that and I used to give her quite a bit of attitude when she'd tell me what to do.
Yeah, the younger sister being the Chief Sue is tough.
Yeah, telling me what to do.
I'm like, excuse you.
Oh my God.
That's why we never saw her on.
So I was a bit of a bitch to her, but we had so much fun.
That's why she couldn't come on below deck because you were the chief.
Yeah, exactly.
She's an amazing Chief Stu.
I, okay, I feel like that's something, that could be like a show in the future.
Yeah.
You're like sister.
Oh, I know.
I always wanted to get her on the show and I'd always try and convince her too.
But she, you know, she didn't really want to do that.
She loved the boats that she was working on.
But, yeah.
Unsuccessful in that mission.
Is there a yachting scene in New Zealand at all?
Very small.
Like, there are so many Kiwis on the super yachts.
But New Zealand, I think because we're just so far away and we got quite small marinas.
There's like some more are coming now, but it's not a major scene.
I guess because, in the,
like Australia is such a big industry I guess a lot of people probably go there yeah but then even
Australia is not that big like not compared to Fort Lauderdale or on tape okay yeah I think as well
people just don't have that sort of money either like yeah we do have some filthy rich in New Zealand
but you could count them on one hand like you know we're not super yacht rich yeah we're not
super yacht rich in New Zealand yeah it's okay I can relate to that yes so you're you guys are in
Spain this season. You were in Spain one of your earlier seasons when you were a second, I think.
Yes, we went to Ibiza. Okay. Yeah. And you've done, you were in France one season. Yes. Yeah.
And then Greece, maybe. Greece. Yeah. Athens. And, oh, and then the two in Australia.
What is, do you have like favorite locations to go back to when you're working or does it kind of all
blur together when you're so busy? Well, I do love going back to Antib because that, you know,
that's where my yachting journey started and I've just got so many amazing memories there and it's
such a familiar place to me so I do love going back to France. It's very cool. Have you do you have you like
spent time in any of these locales when you're not working on a bit? Like is it weird to go there on
vacation when you're like yeah I have it to be honest I haven't spent that much time there while not
working um yeah because I just always seem to be on a boat so and I used to stand and like look at the
people on the beach just holidaying and I'm like
Oh my God, I wonder what that's like just being here with no timetable. Wow. So I definitely
want to go back and do a big Euro trip at some point. What's your, yeah, what's your like,
when you're off season, when the show's not airing, when you like have time, like real downtime.
Yeah. What's your, what's your vibe? What do you like to, where do you like to go?
I don't really have that much downtime, to be honest. Like, I think because I've been so
fortunate to be so successful with the show. I'm always doing some like appearance or brand deal or
press or something. So I tend to be flying to a different place like every week. But my dream for
next year is to give myself one free afternoon every week where I can just read books. Because that's
what I want to do more of. I got back into reading a few years ago. I hadn't like during the pandemic,
I didn't touch a single book. And I'm like, that was so stupid of me.
and I've gotten back into it and I
I love spending my free time with my mind
actually like occupied on something
I love it totally
books just bring me so much joy
do you try to read it all when you're like in the season
or is that just like I try
I always have some giant book beside my bed that I'm deluded
and thinking I'm going to finish and I read like five pages
you're reading like one paragraph of war in peace every night
yes exactly I read one like I had um last time I filmed I had lones
dove beside my bed, which is like thick, thick, thick.
I think I read, yeah, exactly.
You read a paragraph a night and you're not getting through that very quickly.
I respect the ambition.
Yes, thank you.
I try.
I respect that you want to challenge yourself.
Yes, yes.
On the yacht, I'm not sure.
No, it wasn't the time.
You're like hearing some beeping in the laundry room and it's like, yeah.
Yes, exactly.
Maybe, yeah, maybe next year on your free afternoons.
I think I need to go smaller.
Yeah.
That's, yeah, no, if you can, like, get through a book, I feel like sometimes that, like, gives you a little bit more motivation.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, it's so exciting finishing a book.
But then also, when you've got a really good book, I do have to have, like, a weak gap between that and then starting a new one, because I don't feel ready to let go of the characters.
So you kind of got to, like, grieve them and say goodbye to them before you welcome it a new set.
You should do, like, a below-deck book club.
Oh, yes, I really want to do a book club.
I want to start one over
my New Zealand summer
That would be
Yeah just do like
I don't know
Is one a week
unrealistic maybe one a month
Because you might finish the book
But everybody else is gonna be like
Aisha girl like I am I'm on page 12
Yeah slow down
Maybe I'll do one every two weeks
Okay
There we go
That's yeah
Let me know
Let me know
We can be like book pen pals
I would love that
I would love that
Okay before we wrap up
This season we're just getting started
How do you feel like this season
what's new about it?
How do you feel like it is fresh
compared to every other season that you've done?
This season's my favorite season I've ever done
because it's just got such a great mix of
so much different stuff happened
because I feel like when we did season nine,
I feel like there were kind of only two main big storylines
kind of the whole way through.
I kind of remember what the second one was,
but like the Bree, the Bree and Ellie stuff
and then like them not being good at their,
Bree not being good at laundry
and then them having like a love triangle
and there was kind of quite long consistent stories.
Yeah, like Nathan and Gail, yeah.
Yeah, whereas this season,
it's like every single charter,
I'm like, oh, that's happening?
Oh, this is happening?
Really? Wow!
And it's like fresh new stuff every single time,
but obviously like none of it's intentional.
It just felt like the story gods were shining down on us.
And it's going to be a very,
very interesting season.
And I'm sure there's lots...
It's very varied too.
I'm sure when you watch the episodes back to,
there's lots of little moments that you didn't even know we're happening.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's so interesting watching it back and seeing what's going on when I'm not there,
especially because, you know, everyone's on their best behavior around me because I'm the
chief stew.
So it is interesting seeing what they get up to.
I'm very intrigued to see how Nathan and Gales's whole story plays out.
Yeah, you're going to love it.
Obviously in the preview, like we know that.
there's a baby.
Yes.
Yeah,
well,
you see it on there.
Kind of like,
getting from point A
to point Z there.
Like I,
I think that's going to be really,
I think people are going to be excited to see that too.
It's a really,
it was a really awesome thing to witness firsthand.
So I think people are going to love watching it at home.
And what,
when you look back on your,
on your time on below deck,
what's like the one moment that comes to mind first,
whether it's the most shocking thing
or the most hilarious thing
or something's dressed,
Like what kind of is like the thing that bubbles up to the surface of like that's, I can't believe I was there for that.
I don't know.
I'm so bad at these types of questions.
That's okay.
I don't know.
I don't know.
You've been through a lot.
Yeah, I've been through a lot.
They've put you through the ringer.
Yes.
It's so much.
Yeah.
I think that's like like you were saying for this season, it's like every charter is something different.
You never know.
It's something's going to break.
Yes.
Somebody's going to quit.
Exactly.
But I think I've just done this job for so long and had so many things happen to me that it all kind of just melts into one big thing.
You know, nothing really sticks.
Okay.
Sorry.
Worst podcast guest ever.
No, we got some good stuff, I think, and I can't wait to see the rest of the season.
Thank you.
You're going to love it.
I'll see you at BravoCon.
Yeah, see you at BravoCon.
See you in Vegas.
We can hit the slots.
Don't get lost in Vegas.
Yeah.
Don't do it.
No.
No.
We'll have to both agree that we'll come out the other side.
Check on each other.
Season 11, we got it.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Thanks so much, Aisha.
