Good. Having a good day. What's going on with you over there? Not much Good. Having a good day. What's going on with you over there? Not much. Also having a good day. Today, we decided to do a below deck med on the bonus episode. Loving the season. Not a lot left in it. And fingers crossed, Brie might actually learn how to do laundry by the final charter. Who knows? Dare to dream.

Maybe all I need to achieve my dream is to get the colors. Yes. So, um, I guess there's not much else to say. So why don't we dive into this latest episode from last night? It starts off, um, with, uh, people getting ready for dinner and stuff like that. And there's a new stew on board. Um, wait, why can't Carrie Carrie's her name? I almost forgot it there for a second. And Ellie is kind of spiraling because Ellie is really into hierarchy and she's really insecure about her place on the corporate yacht ladder and as afraid that

Carrie is going to push her down. Oh, for Christ's sake. Speaking of push her down. Did you hear that? My God, what's going on? Were you just attacked? Was it something just crashed into your window? Sounds like a fight out there. Are you moving a body up there? Ellie pushing Carrie down the stairs.

Look, now you die. I've worked so hard to be seconds to and now I kill her. Yeah, so she's melting down, and Asha is of course loving it. And I think she's kind of loving that Ellie's melting down too, because she just can't stop with the compliment. She's like, oh my God, you know how much precious Livia did having such the experience, extra Stu.

I mean, even her name is helpful. It's Carrie. So Carrie is serving some cocktails at the bar and Asha's sitting in the crew mess eating food and she's like, I mean look at where I am right now. And Nathan's like, I know period. If that's the first time I've seen ya, sit down or fucking season. It feels so nice. Yeah, so she's getting a chance to eat or whatever. And then we cut to Brie and Ellie setting up upstairs

and there's some lights in the sky. And Brie's like, wow, hey, look at those things in the sky. And Nathan's like, yes, they, look at those things in this guy. And he's like, yes, they are planes, but look at them. They're such bright lights. They're planes. Maybe they are aliens. They're planes.

I want to get a red on that one. So I remember where it goes. The aliens like we come in peace. Also we cannot find our shirts. Yeah, the aliens are like, um, I have the wrong pants. Oh, I think I must have put them. Yeah, these are not mine. These are alien pants. I need to find my captain pants. Why is that alien wearing white pants? Why are my capris made out of some sort of a slimy skin?

You know, I got to, I tried to wear them anyway and I cut them coming up the stairs, but then they healed themselves. It's crazy. Regenerative, regenerative culottes. The craziest thing happened. An alien burst through the chest of one of our guests and it was wearing a red polo. So then Joe,

did you say regenerative culottes? That is science fiction. That is scary. Can't get the, these things are better than polyester. God, they really are more advanced than us. So, uh, Joe is up working with Gail and he's like, did you put the harnesses on? I'm just like, yes. All right, let's talk. Come on.

I don't want to upset you. I can see that you're mad. Hold on. Let me smile really vaguely at you. It's just, you're being a prick, you know, like, I don't know what your problem is with me. And he's like, I've got a problem with you. I tried to put my head down.

I tried to do shit to make you happy, but sometimes you're a right prick. It's what you are. All right. And I realized I'm trying to make a guy, but sometimes you're a right prick, is what you are. Alright? And I realise I'm trying to make a guy happy, and he's just gonna be an S to me. But have I been an ass? You're calling me a princess here, and like, you know you're doing it the right- doing it in a shit way. Like you just turn around like you got to check up my work to make sure I'm working, and you think I get treated differently. And like you think I don't- I don't work as much? Because no, no, that's not it.

No, man, that's not it. How are you asking me on a date? Like it's too much. It's too much right now. Listen, all I wanted to tell you was we've got to stop this. I can't keep this going. I know you asked me to put it out a rope and I said yes, but you know what? I'm not looking for a relationship right now.

It's just hard being this handsome. Do you understand? But tell me, tell me, honestly, it's fine. I can take it. Like if you don't think I'm working off, and goes, no, well you're trying to put words in my mouth here again, so let me speak. We've only got two chances left. Believe what you want to believe, but I know what I believe.

She goes, but you're going to be a prick to me, and I'm not going to give my time a day to it. That is what you're saying. You are saying that she's a princess, and you are saying that she doesn't work. You've said it multiple times to her and to us. Like sorry, you can't even stand up for it once you're called out. Like come on. Yeah.

And then he starts to gaslight her. He's like, oh, there's probably paranoia on your side. I'm not like that one bit. Have I ever raised my voice or anything like you? And she's like, no, but you've been a prick. You don't have to raise your voice to be a prick to someone, by the way. Yeah. And she's like, words don't trigger me. Intentions trigger me. He thinks I'm not a team player or that I'm getting special treatment. And that's not the case. So don't

characterize me like that. Don't act like you know me because you obviously don't. I was like, yes. Yeah. I love her little like girl power finger wave. I was like, you go, take him down. Take him down. He's such a dick. And he was humiliated and sort of like semi demoted by Captain Sandy, who basically was like, okay, Nathan's in charge of docking now. And so he's getting out his power play here.

And on top of that, he's also jealous that Nathan is with Gail. You know, that Gail is competing with Joe for Nathan's attention. This guy's a total fucking dickwad. Yeah, he is. So he's like, come on, give me a hug now. And then he tells us he's just trying to do a good job, but I can feel the heat rising. So I just wanted to calm it down.

I don't hold a grudge and I'm hoping she doesn't hold a grudge. I love when the people who do shit wrong are the ones who don't hold a grudge. Yeah. He doesn't hold a grudge. What do you hold a grudge about? Being an asshole. Exactly. And now watch him go talk to Nathan in a few scenes about like, oh, how Gale is so crazy. He doesn't hold a grudge though. So, um, uh, Carrie is helping out a guest and then Aisha is loving the way the table is looking and everything.

And Aisha is asking Carrie what she's up to. and they're gonna set up a dance party and stuff. And Aisha's telling us, Carrie is a yalty. She's quick and she's efficient and she's urgent, period. And I really wish the other girls would take a leaf out of that book and stop worrying so goddamn much about how much power she has. You. We just cut to Ellie playing with two Barbies. You are chief stool. You need to listen to me.

I will not listen to you. Laundry, laundry. Ah, ah, ah. Turned off Barbie heads. And cuts back to Aisha serving wine to the guests. And one of them's like, can I get an entire bar on my lap? That would be great.

I'm from Ohio. Looks just like this. So Carrie and Ellie are like working to set something up like some decorations or something like that. And Carrie is making some suggestions about putting something on the ceiling. And I was like, no, it is always safer to put everything closer to walls just in case a breeze to come through.

In fact, if there is a breeze, maybe you should stand by railing. And if you happen to blow overboard, then so be it. Make it tall in the middle, because it needs to go like this. And Carrie's like, I'm sensing that Ellie's trying to prove her authority. And I'm not here to take a job.

I'm just here to help. I mean, you go girl, you're doing great little one. Pat on the head. Yeah. Ellie is on like a power trip about how to hang like a little like stream, like a sign that says like happy birthday. Yeah. I love Carrie's reaction. She's like, you go. Good job little buddy. So Jono, you know, he was deflated from, you know, his last charter, you know, when he served something that would kill someone and then for dessert, put a cookie on top of a cake, he's going to look at it from that.

Cookie cake deflation. So he's like, you know, mistakes that I've gone through and I figured how to bounce back. So that's good. I'm going to be a phoenix rising from the ashes, a phoenix who comes up from the ashes and pops its pussy. My phoenix would be very demure, very mindful. And so Oh my god, with the demure and mindful. I think it's already over.

Thank god. Enough. I mean, great job person who did it, but enough, please just leave me alone. And then someone trademarked it so that Queen didn't even get the money from it. She did eventually though. It worked out. I heard that it actually worked out. She got it. So yeah, happy endings. So Aisha, so they're serving dinner. And by the way, it does look very nice. I was like, wow, Jon John did turn around. Maybe he finally Googled what is a fancy looking plate and he did it. So, um, it looks good. Everyone loves it. Somebody's grandmother.

Cardi B is Cardi B's grandmother specifically. Remember when that was his thing? Yeah. They're like, well, have you ever made food for Italian food? He's like, I learned it from a grandmother on YouTube. Wasn't that his Gazpacho or something? He's like, some grandmother. Someone in Athens.

You know what's funny? I actually made a Greek chicken last night. Just occurred to me. Oh, Bob. That like is literally hilarious. That is like, honestly, the funniest anecdote I could have told right now. It is literally hilarious. That is like the funniest anecdote I could have told right now. It is literally hilarious. Let's all take a moment to think about it.

How was it? Delish. What's the difference between a chicken and a Greek chicken? Actually, nothing. Well, a regular chicken speaks English and the Greek chicken has big sunglasses on it. So it was hard to eat through all the broken glass, but I got through it. Greek chicken. Greek chicken is just like,

just a really intense marinade of like lemon juice and oregano and vinegar. It's just like a really, you've had it probably a million times. It's so good. Delish, delicious. I felt like Angie K up there at my grill, you know, also, cause I had, I put on a wig like Cher. So.

I am Greek. So Joe is now talking to Nathan and he's like, I had a word with Gail. She hates me, you know, she said I'm a proper prick. Huh. Yeah. Sometimes they take the piss out calling her princess about lines and stuff like that. Just something to joke about. Cause like, I mean, I just don't know what she's got against me. What could it possibly be? Would you like to make out right now? Would you like to finger blast me? Here it is, the classic thing of like, hey, you can tell, listen, Gail, I'm so, like, what's going on?

You can always share with me anything. I'm so glad we talked this out. Yeah, this is totally squashed. Oh my God, Gail over there, God, she's such a sensitive woman. Like, I just try to joke with her. She can't even take a joke. Women are so serious. Am I right?

This is that that's like, shut the fuck up, Joe. Like you like you can't do that. You can't have your conversation. And then you go to her boyfriend. And then you basically like, wow, crazy over there, right? You can't even make a joke. God, she's I can't believe we even have her on the deck team. So he's like, you're her boyfriend, start it out. And Nathan's like, I'm not her boyfriend, bro. I don't even know what's going on. Just, you know, I just need space for a while there, all right? And basically he won't do anything.

He just wants to sit there with a cute little smile and not really get involved. And I think this is not great moves from Nathan. I mean, I don't know that Gail necessarily needs him to go white cape it. And I'm not saying that he needs to do that for her, but it would be nice to see him be like, yeah, you're being a fucking asshole.

Like just calm down, you know? Yeah. So Sandy, meanwhile, goes and checks on the guests who were up on the deck. And she's like, oh, wow, hey, it's a party up here, wow, this is, you know what we call parties? Social events that Norm has never been invited to. Am I right?

High five, high five Ohio. So then Johnno serves and he's like, your last course is pistachio crust lamb. I hope you guys enjoy it. And they're like, oh my God, we don't have anything like this in Ohio. And then, um, there's a, there's a nighttime delivery to the boat. One of it, one of the deliveries is an inflatable toy for tomorrow's, you know,

like, you know, guests against, uh, staff guests against crew Olympics. But what else arrives? Color beats for me. So at long last, with only one and a half charters left, her organizational system has, has made it to the boat. Here we've got, finally got some color beads coming for Bree. So we find out that these basics are doing silent disco, which I know this was kind of probably planned by the boat, but of course these people are doing silent disco. It's just so this group

of people. I know that we hate people for being too mean and these people are too nice, but I need a middle ground because you guys are killing me here with your fucking silent disco. So then, oh, sorry, go ahead. I was going to say their silent disco is best than being like, hey, holding their hands on their ears. Hey, whoa, whoa. That's Kim Zolciak. Kim Zolciak literally sings like a silent disco. She actually went to a silent disco with you, right? But 15 years ago, you had your birthday party at one. It was awful. I had a birthday party. I booked

the Pallie House Hotel. I booked this room. I was like, can I have my birthday party here on Saturday night? And they're like, sure. So I went and they're like, oh, by the way, it's also going to be a silent disco, which meant that there was no music playing. It was just like a silent room with strange people in headphones dancing around. And then the local news came because they're like, silent disco in Los Angeles. So they turned on all the lights for the local news. So it was like bright lights, no sound, and people were milling around. I saw so many people walk in and walk out. And I was like, this is a disaster.

I will never forgive someone like this guys. That was so crazy. And I didn't really know you very well at that time. That was like the first birthday party I'd ever gone to of yours. And I didn't know anybody there. But I walked in and just saw all these weird LA zombies just standing there swaying back and forth with their hands in the air, like mouthing

words. And I was like, what? Who is this person? What am I doing here? Someone came and I think they brought, if I remember correctly, I think they brought Alison Brie. And I just remember they came and they're like, huh? And they left.

I was like, a celebrity has left. I was like, I almost had a celebrity at my party. I've lost Alison Brie. I'll never forgive you. Silent disco. Yeah, it was terrible. Terrible. So then Joe and Carrie flirt. Carrie is doing some steaming or something in the laundry and Joe goes like, boo and runs away. And she's like, was that you? And he's like, Oh God,

we've really got something. She's really showing signs of interest now. Yeah. Yeah. You're, you're, you're real stud there. Peekaboo. Oh no. Yeah. I don't know if like startling someone and slamming the door on the room that they're in and then them opening the door and being like, was that you is a sign of interest but sure if that's what you need you take it sweetheart 100% what a fucking weirdo

So he's just trying his newest angle. You know what I mean? So he can't give he's already given the ick to two women You know, it's like he's just trying to up his ick percentage so then Don't mind me just just keep going don't listen. No then, don't mind me today. Just, just keep going. Don't listen. No, I didn't mean to over talk you. I want to hear what you say. I have had so much coffee this morning that I'm just saying random shit at this point. Silent discos, Greek chicken, Ichabod crane. Let's just, you know, whatever.

Yeah. Well today was also our two tees in a pod thing. So we just did two shows before this, which I guess we should talk about at some point. So let's see here. Joe, what's happening? Okay. So Gale and Jono talk about how he's gonna go on vacation and meet his boo after this. And Gale's like, yeah, I might go to Prague with Nathan.

I mean, it's not fully planned, but we're in talks. Dun, dun, dun, dark storm clouds. Corporal Mergerhead. We're in talks to go to Prague. And then. Yeah, we're in talks. Like, well, she knows it's like she's seen below deck and she knows like, he seems like he's nice,

but he's probably gonna be a douche bag any minute now. So hopefully we make it to Prague, but let's, we're on below deck time. So, um, H is checking in on Carrie, uh, your cabins are done, all that good stuff. And then Ellie is cleaning up dinner and then it got, they're just, the guests are dancing. They want tequila shots and everything. Um, and. And so Carrie is, there's a thing, Ellie is at the

bar, and she's like doing dishes and Carrie goes in to like get some shots or drinks for the guests. And Ellie is like, Oh, by the way, because you know, when she's really mad, she gets her voice gets really high when she hates someone she's like, Oh, by the way, thank you so much. So she's like, oh, do you mind if you do tissues in IDOT service? And Carrie's like, sure, do you want to do these now? So they basically swap. And Ellie's like, I was under the impression that we needed someone to just help with the odd jobs

like housekeeping, laundry, pestering Brie. But now I start to feel like, dang, have I been the weak link on the team? Questionable! You do it better than I do, I can't do it. Because I feel like I was actually carrying the team the whole season, so. Yeah, but you also just completely disobeyed

a direct order, which was, I want Kerry to be on service and Ellie not to be on service. You just completely went around that and reassigned. So she's like, I just don't understand. I just don't, parents just don't understand. Asia just don't understand. Am I right? When you call Uber, do you call Uber and expect Hugo or do you get Lamborghini?

Which is funny because Hugo would actually also be applying to me, considering where I'm from, but like Lamborghini in this case. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappence commercial.

So Carrie is like, I know what drama does to an interior team and I've seen it and I'm definitely not here to close it. So she's like, I'll just do laundry. What the fuck do I care? So she does it and then it's the next day. And then Sandy comes in to Bree and she's like, Bree, I got a present for you. Color beads for laundry.

She's like, oh my God, thank you so much. No, no, those aren't to put up your nose. Are you putting those up? Oh, it's just that sometimes I like to smell it. Oh, I got one stuck in my nose. Oh gosh, I told you not to put those up your nose, you silly. All right, come here. I'm gonna give you the Heimlich. Okay, so Brie, take these color beads and use them.

Well, hey, where did they go? I already lost them. Could you get me new color beads, please? I put them in the microwave. Did you iron the color beads? I did. I did. Dang it. Dang it Bree. Dang it. Back in school I used colors and I liked my study notes and then somebody, something that helped me learn and remember. And I wish that maybe I implement this system earlier in the season, probably would have

helped me get through everything a lot easier with far fewer bumps. Like in future, I would know. Big red bead on Joe, stay away. So then everybody is setting up for these big games. My least favorite thing on below deck. That's after dates, after below deck dates. Below deck dates are terrible, but the awkwardness and forced nature of them

are kind of fun. I mean, at least comparatively, cause this is just, I don't. And also making the staff swim in their clothes. I mean, I know they're like wet clothes technically, but I don't know, it hurts my feelings. So then Joe's like, I've never really run an obstacle course myself. That's usually what I use vaginas for. I just place one here, there, run under one, run around one and this he does the whole thing. It's a it's the it's the it's the I can't honestly Yeah, let's just get don't want to I don't want to indulge this

I don't want to support this behavior on below deck. So there is a we do see Joe kind of crash out which is kind of fun and then Asia's super competitive and Knocks somebody off of a knocks one of the guys off of a pylon or something. So that's her big thing. She's like, Oh, I'm so competitive. And then meanwhile, Asia radios for Carrie and Bri to start running service and tells Ellie to go for a break. And Ellie is like upset. She's like, Ellie does not want to go on break. She wants basically Ellie likes to be in front of a guest. Like that's what she gets off on that.

So why she brings all these costumes on board, this is her favorite thing. And she's like, no, Carrie taking spotlight from me, especially in work environment, is definitely a bit hurtful. And I'm just tossed to the sidelines. I don't understand why, especially on Asia's part. You put Lamborghini at the side of the road? No, Lamborghini Center Lane. It makes me not even care. Period. I don't want to prove myself to these people anymore. It's very insensitive towards me. The way I was asked not to service. The way I was given the grace of having a break.

The way that I don't have such stressful days relying only on Brie because someone else comes to help us. It's very insensitive towards Lamborghini. What? Is Lamborghini not supposed to take a nap? I mean, come on, now I have time for a nap. What, you want to put gasoline in Lamborghini? Why don't you let us see what the Lamborghini can do

without the gas first? Yeah, so she's kind of spinning out, and then lunch is served, and it's tempura broccoli and lobster salad. And so Aisha is like, Joe, guess what I call a yo-yo performer. He's basically up here and then he goes down and then he gets stuck to the floor

because he's done the splits during a twerk. So then I lift him up and he goes straight back up again. I never want to see that twerk again. Honestly, it's uncomfortable. What were we talking about? Who would want broccoli tempura? Doon, doon, doon. And now a special NBC presentation of Wind.

God. Whoa. Oh my God, thank God I remembered to pay my peacock bill so I can still get wind on my screen. God, you know, in this age of streaming and video on demand, it's nice to know there still can be a television special. Wow, wow, I'm sitting on, the wind is really blowing. Is it sweeps? What's going on?

30 knots. Wow, that's not good. Oh geez, they got Connie Selica in here. This is a big one. Guys, crew, crew, we're heading back to port. Connie Selica has entered wind. That's it, we're done. Talk about stunt casting. Oh God, everyone, we're heading back to port. Connie Selica has entered wind. That's it, we're done. Talk about stunt casting.

Oh God, everyone, we gotta go back to port. Too much, too much wind, too much Selica. So then the team Brex, Brex in the, Brex in the, team Brex in the, team Brex in the, the team brings in the water toys.

And then Carrie is like, I'm gonna go see how Ellie's doing. She likes to do it all by herself all the time. I didn't want to say this, but last night I almost died because last night she was like, well, let me do the drinks. And Aisha's like, I go. I feel so grateful and happy that Carrie is here

because it takes the pressure off of me and my team. And I need us to be a cohesive team. And I feel like Ilya is making things less efficient so she can maintain her status for her ego. And I like that she's like, yeah, I like Carrie because she's zero drama and she actually knows what she's doing. And then it cuts to Carrie just like steaming

and like cleaning everything really fast. Like boom, a bed's made. It's like boom, all the silverware is polished. She's like magical. She's like Mary Poppins cleaning up a playroom. So then John was talking still again about how he lost his mojo, but he's gonna get it back. He's like, I just need to step it up like yes bad so then Ellie meanwhile is just

still charmed by Joe she's just giggling at everything he's saying in the crew message I don't know what it is about Joe he just keeps sucking me back in I know it's not good for me but it's like Lamborghini driving on dirt roads. Sometimes you have to do it. So then it's time to talk. Don't don't don't. And he's like, talking at nighttime is different than talking in the day because it's nighttime. Producers are like, I'm like, we don't see a lot of Ian on the show. And I'm like, this is why the producers are like, this fucking guy can't even give us a good interview.

So, they dock successfully. He manages to do it without taking a nap in the middle of it. And then there's- That's really impressive. I was like, he must be starving to death. He has not had one snack during this entire doc. No.

So now Sandy goes, hey everyone, how's dinner going? And like, John Oh is top notch. They love John Oh, Sandy is very happy. And, uh, Asia's really happy. She does her coordinated serving thing, you know, where they do the little like, it's almost like Riverdance, but with serving plates, they'll put a plate down at once. They do another plate all at once. And she's really happy because now she could, with the fourth two, she can finally do like high end service.

Yeah. And that's very exciting. And she's like, Oh, listen, I just wanted to say congratulations on everyone on your anniversaries. I mean to have one basic marriage is one thing, but they have three six basic people. You're like an entire IKEA store. Congratulations. So down in the crew mess, Gail asked Joe if she can go into the cabin to cuddle with Nathan. And he's like, yeah, sure, whatever. And she basically tells us like, yeah, it's been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster with Joe. And there's like some fake niceness that they're just kind of

pretending to be nice to each other just to get to the end of the season, you know, but essentially like there's tension still. Yeah, so Kerry's like, oh, George, my cheeky, weaky boy, he's easy to get along with. I take better one step too far apparently, so maybe it's problematic, but I'll fuck him right now. Fuck him right now. Fuck him real good. But Kerry's just like, yeah, I flirt, I flirt, you know, and I do take it. I will go there, basically, you know. And then Nathan's doing his thing where, you know, he's in the interview, he has his hands on his knees as usual, you can tell. And it's like, I feel like this situation would be good for Joe, as he's new to lead

deck and roll. But I've never been in a situation where one of my friends don't like the girl I've been dating. I just want to keep them both as friends. I don't know if I can do that. I'm like, could you stop, stop bobbing your head back and forth? He really does do that. He's like a little boy on a boat

that's on its way to America. He's just like so excited to see it. Or they're on the way to the Statue of Liberty. He's just like, wow, look at that. It's so amazing. Why does that lady have her arm up? I want to smell it. Getting too tired in your floor.

Like every little boy thinks. Yeah, that's pretty standard universal experience. So, that's the last thing. I want to smell the armpits of the Statue of Liberty. I can't wait. I hope I get close enough to smell it. No, my great great grandfather said that when he came to this country from Eastern Europe.

He's like, ah, I want to be in America. I want to smell the armpits of a statue of liberty. I guess that's more of a song about Puerto Rico, but Puerto Rico, but that's fine. How many songs together? There's no smelly armpits in America. There we go. Okay, so then Nathan is, what are we talking about?

Okay, so Fanny is checking in on laundry. She's like, whoa, whoa, Brie, Brie, Brie, Brie, Brie, spoiler alert, Connie Salaga died in a windstorm. Sorry, had to tell somebody. So how's it going with laundry? Oh, it is so nice. It made, you know, the beads made laundry kind of fun. Thank you, Cap, you know, the beads mid laundry kind of fun. Thank you cap. Because basically,

Bri before was writing people's names on their shirts. So that way theoretically you would look at a shirt and see someone's name and know that the shirt belongs to that person's name. But now instead of writing someone's name, she puts a bead on that shirt of a color and then she looks at the color and then she looks at a poster on the wall and the color is linked to someone's name and when she sees that name she knows that that color then she can look back at her shirt and that color belongs that person's name so it's clearly a much easier process. It's just you know the important thing was to simplify. The thing is rather than

see oh this shirt belongs to Joe now she, this shirt belongs to Joe. Now she knows this shirt belongs orange and orange belongs to Joe and Joe belongs to orange and therefore orange equals Joe and this shirt is Joe's. Yeah. So, you know, whatever works for you. You know, it's like some kind of a learning thing where you, like some people, everybody learns different. My sister teaches to children with learning disabilities and she's really, really good at it. Like, she can get her brain to work in all these different ways. And she was showing me the different kinds of math they do,

and I was like, how in the fuck is this supposed to be easier? And she's like, well, now how it works is you kind of, you use logic in math, and you know, math isn't all so scientific, it's not so, you know, rote. It's not just memorization, it's logic. And I'm like, no, I will not do this.

She keeps showing me how to do it. I just, my brain will not work how to do it. I think it's harder, but it's actually much easier for people who need to be taught in different ways. It's really fascinating how the brain works. Mariah. I know, I know, I really shouldn't shame it. It's just, it's, you know, because obviously like-

Same, same in you, same, same. Sometimes you do need an association. It's just, to me, it obviously like same same in you same same sometimes do we need an association it's just to me it is it is kind of funny how the brain works that way it's like oh if you just put the name on it you would think that would be the clearest the clearest indication of who that shirt belongs to but it's like oh sometimes you actually do need something like a color bead to like connect that dot but we'll see if it actually works for Brie because i have to say the jury's still at and we don't really know by the end of this episode if the beads work.

There's a part of me that secretly wants them to not work. I just want her to be just like, just fail at laundry every single charter. Yeah. So Ellie is in laundry and she's like, oh no, she's doing cabins with Carrie. And she's like, okay, we will fold it. So we put the blanket over there

and then we flatten like this. Pillow, pillow, pillow, flatten. Do you see? This is basically what everybody on this boat is doing to my spirit. Flatten, flatten, flatten. Bueller's unmoved. So.

Am I flattening you? Have I flattened you then? I flattened you, then? Are you flat now? Dog. Flat dog. So, Ellie, the question? Do you have a boyfriend in Fort Lauderdale? Anyone on board for you or no?

And she's like, Oh, well, except for Nathan and Gail, no one's really seen each other. Unfortunately, Bri and I, we had like a bunch of tension because all caused by Jo, because like we made out, you know, we had like kiss, um, but he was, you know, he was leading her on and leading me on. It's hard to be upset with him because he's such a sweet boy. He's mine. He's mine.

Don't touch him. Don't touch him. You get away. I put red bead on him and look what I'm wearing. Red bead. Lamborghini and Ferrari go together. Ferrari, don't not go with Toyota Camry, which is you. And the Carrie's like, oh, he's cute, he's a sweetheart. I'll sell you that much.

And she's like, I do care about him, I must say. Dun, dun, dun, storm the brain. Watch out. All over for Joe. I mean, this show kills me. I've never seen mediocre men win harder than on, well, The Bachelor. They really win on The Bachelor and the bachelorette.

Especially the bachelorette. You want to see- And Southern Charm. Mediocre men. Oh my God. Southern Charm, they don't even get to mediocre. I mean, those guys are just, they're below average. But they're wealthy. Well, actually only Shep is. The rest just pretend. So, okay, everyone time for a tip meeting because the guests actually already left. We didn't mention that, but they're gone. They're more Ohio, more like Ohio. Ohio, Ohio, Ohio. Oh, go now. Oh, yeah.

But they left and he stepped off the deck and he said, wow, we're not in Ohio anymore. They said, they said, I can't wait to go home and see what Connie's telecast up to. And I was like, Oh God, I guess they didn't see the latest episode of wind too bad. Gosh. Hope the DVR took care of that one. Badge is waiting for him. Yeah. No spoilers. Or as Norma calls it, no, my refrigerator spoiled in there. It's gross. So then, um, she's like, wow, charter eight, can you believe we're almost finished?

That is crazy. It means like time flies when you're having fun. Or napping through the entire season, but you know, that's fine. Hey, you guys did a great job with the toys, interior. I'm glad, hey, Bree, I'm glad we got some colors for you. Let's see how that works out. Thanks, Cap, it should be no problem.

Okay, I do notice that you are wearing Joe's shirt right now though, so maybe the color system is gonna kick in for the next charter, huh? Talking is different at night than it is in the day because it's night. Okay, okay, so you guys all seem like you're pretty much exhausted because you're all saying gobble to goop.

Okay, Carrie, Carrie, you make me smile. Oh, that makes me smile. And that makes me smile. Look, I just smiled even bigger because you're smiling at me. Now smiling. I'm smiling even bigger than that because you made me smile.

I'm smiling. Now smiling bigger. I'm smiling bigger. Okay, all biggest smile I've ever had in my life. I just need your shirt while you're wearing it. Hey, Ellie, why are you stabbing the sofa? What's going on over there? Die, die!

Orange bead, orange bead! Ellie, thank you for your table decor. It was so wonderful. Oh, thank you so much. I would like to thank my agent, OnlyFan. I would like to thank my brother, Ernest. Everybody, thank you so much. I accept the award.

I accept. Yeah, your decor is amazing. I can only imagine how it'll how even better once Carrie does it. Oh, Carrie. Quest them up. Chef, thank you for killing it. Thank you for not serving a cookie on top of the cake and not putting any cardamom in rice.

That's great. You did a great job. Clients are happy, okay? Now who wants to know how much money we made? $20,000. That's $1,300's great. You did a great job. Clients are happy, okay? Now who wants to know how much money we made? $20,000. That's $1,300 per person. You guys, group hug. Guys, don't act surprised.

They're from Ohio. Okay, all right. Let's talk about my love, Beast story. Wow, I'm so nervous about Leah coming. I'm shaking on the inside. Oh, look at me, shaking, shaking like a little leaf. Okay, carry on. I'm done now. I'm gonna go watch Wint. Shaking on the inside. Oh, look at me, shaking, shaking like a little leaf. Okay, carry on.

I'm done now, I'm gonna go watch wind. Right, so it's the carry, it's the last charter and I want to fucking smash it. How's it going? What's been happening? What's the full one word? And Ellie's like, Ellie's been trying to hurry me along about what to do, like efforts wise and cabins and like if I came from what you find, but please don't tell me to do it

unless it's coming from you or whatever. Whatever. If it's coming from Ellie, it's whatever. And she's like, what are you talking about? What is she telling you? Well, she told me that I should do, I should, she should do service and I should do, I should do the other stuff. That was my most disconcerting. I'm going to just go to remind her the only time she should be telling you what to do is when I'm on break or taking a massive pill. I'm Dan Tuberski.

In 2011, something strange began to happen at the high school in Leroy, New York. I was like at my locker and she came up to me and she was like stuttering super bad. I'm like, stop f***ing around. She's like, I can't. A mystery illness, bizarre symptoms and spreading fast. It's like doubling and tripling

and it's all these girls. With a diagnosis the state tried to keep on the down low. Everybody thought I was holding something back. Well you were holding something back. And tension, I. Yeah, yeah, well, yeah. No, it's hysteria. It's all in your head.

It's not physical. Oh my gosh, you're exaggerating. Is this the largest mass hysteria since the witches of Salem? Or is it something else entirely? Something's wrong here. Something's not right. Leroy was the new dateline

and everyone was trying to solve the murder. A new limited series from Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios, Hysterical. Follow Hysterical on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts. You can binge all episodes of Hysterical early and ad free right now by joining Wondery Plus. Okay, Charter Nine,

preference sheet meeting, preference sheet meeting. You know what I would prefer? To have Leah by my side for the rest of my life. Okay, someone make that happen. Okay, so Charter Nine, we've got Stacy Jennings and her husband, Brad Driver. Okay, did she marry a driver? Is he a baby?

Is it a baby driver? Who marries babies? Am I right? Guys, let's make some change in this world. Okay, good meeting. You know what I love about Stacey Jennings is that she's actually a he. I love that you're being sassy like that, Sandy. You know, I'm not a child of for them. They're such a lovely couple. Oh, you're right. You're right. I'm so sorry about that. You know, let's take a look at the picture of these guests. Oh yeah, they're horrifying. I hate right. I'm so sorry about that. You know, let's take a look at the picture of these guests.

Oh yeah, they're horrifying. I hate them. I hope they die. Okay. What are we going to prepare? Jano, prepare shellfish for these people. Okay. Let's just hope one of them, let's just hope that allergy was contagious. Geez. I'm like, if they bring on that guy, this, if you see a clip of the, of the guests and there's that like tall gay guy, who's now been on like three times he keeps on coming back on blow deck and he's like a monster every single time i'm like if they bring him back again like i don't even know what to do with myself too much yeah he's the worst so he's coming again that thirst trap so then um they go over their preferences, blah, blah, blah. They're gonna have drag queens because guys,

they're gay. Gay people love drag queens. That's all we do. Really? It's like drag queens. Just drag all the time. That's all we do. What if they just get Nia Vardalos playing a drag queen

like she did in that movie where she went undercover as a drag queen? They are in pre-sectoral. There was a movie where she, like she and what it wasn't Debra messing. Let's see. There's some movie where she played a drag queen. It was like, she was hiding as drag queen. She was, she was pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman. Basically.

Wow. So it was very like Victor Victoria. It was like Nia, Nia, D'Orleo, Nia and D'Ardolio. It was called Connie and Carla. And it was Nia Vardolos and Tony Collette and David Duchovny. So I don't know why it didn't do well, but. I don't know, sounds like a banger. Sounds like a real banger.

So yeah, now I have to watch that. Thanks a lot. I mean, there's a Neobardalos jam that I've missed. Guys. Yeah. Come on. My big fat Greek drag queen. Yeah, so yeah, they're like, okay, let's get drag queens for them. Does anybody have anything that they can interior decorate? Can we have an interior decorating night

or maybe something where they can sew a dress for somebody? So now everyone's getting ready to go out and Aisha sees Gail and she's like, oh Gail, are you excited about travel time with Nathan, which he may certainly will have and he definitely will not make other plans with someone else and definitely not you. And basically Gail's like, well, you know, guys are only not douchebags until they're douchebags, right? And she's like, oh, Nathan's not like that. And she's like, well, I don't think he is either,

but dun dun dun. And then she gives us a little monologue, the monologue of doom, where she's like, I grew up very, you know, you have to look out for your people and have each other's backs. And I feel like it's something I didn't get in my relationship. And I just kind of want that. And I want that now, you know, and I kind of see that in Nathan. Like he's just looking out for me in ways that I wish my ex would have looked at for me. And I don't know, it just speaks volumes to me, you know, just the way he's just always thinking about my feelings it's like oh no. Oh girl. Knock on wood girl knock on some wood girl. Yeah the meanwhile Joe is I having his own moment he's getting really excited about Carrie he's like the more I get to know Carrie the more cool she is a good sense of

humor is important don't want a stuck-up girl like someone we know on board and they show Ellie and I don't want someone you know I tiptoe girl like another girl. We know on board and they show Brie and he but this girl she's got talk She's got the walk. She's quite funny. He grandpapi would be happy He's so gross so He's like hitting on her. He's like, your laugh is the cutest thing. And then Ellie sees this and she's like, it is hard for me to fault Carrie on anything except stealing my life.

She's here trying to do good job. She's like Subaru trying to drive fast like Lamborghini. And I'm mainly being triggered by Asia. Her behavior towards me. I've been like her player this entire season. So like, why would you risk burning a bridge with me over a random person that just got here yesterday? You're worried about your boss burning a bridge with you. How about you're worried about you burning a bridge with your boss? Excuse me. Yeah. Oh my gosh. So then Joe shows up to the club in

like a sweatshirt. And so Ellie's like, you should probably get a t-shirt from the gift shop because you're ridiculous. So he does. And then he buys it off of a person, doesn't he? He like literally buys the shirt off of someone's back. Oh, I thought you went to like the little gift, the little kiosk. I was like, how'd he take a shirt? That's what I thought. But he's, I think he actually went up. Well, maybe, he went to a person. That's funny. No, no, maybe you're right. Maybe he went to a kiosk. That makes much more sense. Cause I was

like, what about the other guy? Where's his shirt? Did he take Joe's shirt? But it probably was. It seems like a lot of people on this show, even the extras work out. So maybe it's like, can I have your shirt? Oh, did only that's me twice about eight. Showing off their boobies. Is that his own shirt? Is that his own shirt? I went to West Hollywood the other night and I was still, I don't know,

every time I'm like right in the middle of, and by the way, I lived in West Hollywood 10 years. I was like out four nights a week, but I'm still shocked going out in West Hollywood at just how bold everyone is and shirtless at all times. It's just like guys walking across the street, they'll be like, yeah, I'm just gonna take off my shirt. I don't even do that at home.

I don't even do that in the shower. It's crazy. And the stripper was just standing up there. They have to make no effort because the gay guys are all so hot. No one has to pay attention to the stripper because everyone works out. And the stripper literally just was standing there

stretching out and watching TV. Literally didn't even move. And then jiggled his butt a couple of times and then literally just kept stretching and I guess his back was hurt. It was like scratching his back and watching the TV. It's like, I love it here. And I'm still not ever going to do a pushup. I don't know what the point of that story was, but good for you people who make an effort. Yeah. Can't do it. See, they don't even buy, they didn't even worry about buying it. I think your point is they don't worry about buying a shirt. They just take off the shirt and sell it. Right, they're all the guy that would sell you their shirt

because they're all looking for an excuse to take it off. Thank you, Ben. Thank you so much. I got you. So now Ellie, Ellie's having a real crisis this evening. She doesn't understand, she's having an existential crisis. Like why would Aisha wanna burn a bridge with me? Why would Joe not want to do this? Why not me? So she's like,

I've had it with Joe because basically he, she's flirting with Joe. He goes off to get the new shirt. What are you doing over there? But you're on mute. I just looked up and Ronnie is just like rotating his head. Like he's being fanning. Fanning myself, girl, keep going. So, so Ellie is dancing with Joe. He goes off to, this is a real crap is on demand treat everyone watching Ronnie fan himself.

It's almost. Girl, so hot. He's like, he's like, ooh, sensual story, tell me more. Tell me all about the betrayal of Asia. So he goes off to buy this shirt, but when he comes back, he starts talking to Carrie, he just ignores Ellie, he uses it as an excuse to get away from Ellie. So she's like, I've had it with Joe, because he's not even choosing women based on who he's attracted to, he's just choosing the person that gives him the most attention, because no man in his right mind would turn down an incredible night with me.

It's like, come on, people paid money to drive Lamborghini and I'm giving it for you for free. Oh man, I wish I had that. They need to learn how to bottle that self-confidence because it is just amazing. No man denies me. I love that. So, Bree is-

Yeah, I actually like that too. And Bree is like, Oh, you are too gorgeous to be worried about such a prawn. Please don't worry about it. He's been doing this whole season. He's like embarrassing to me. I don't know why he went there again, because he's just going to keep doing him. And Breeze is like, I can imagine Eliiley's feeling far inside

because I was there. But the more I'm in these situations, the more I learn how to do it in a mature way. And Joe, please give me back the beat I gave you. We are no longer blue together. You are blue alone now. Okay, now come into bathroom stall with me. So Carrie is like, Carrie's talking to Joe and she's like,

tell me something about you. Actually, can I tell you what I do know? That Ellie told me today that she was just like, oh, not Joe. I was a bit upset. I was like, no, not you. And Joe's like, oh, did we have kids on a drunken night? Yes.

Did we have a kiss on a drunken night? Yes, did we have a kiss on drunken night? That would have been something. That would be a storyline I wouldn't even be surprised at on Below Deck. So we had the baby on a drunken night together. What's she so after me for? Yeah. I mean, there's like literally like thousands

of below deck babies in Fort Lauderdale. Yeah, we actually, that was a storyline on, wasn't it sailing where the guy impregnated that girl? Yeah, there was Danny and whatever his fucking name was. That awful guy whose mom made him take a pregnancy test or whatever. Yeah, JP, ugh, gross. Yeah, for a while that we had a big run of like,

I've got a kid, actually last season on Blow Deck, we had that guy run of like, I've got a kid, actually last season on Below Deck, we had that guy, he's like, I got a kid in Alaska and I've got bad reception. I can't text her. I was like, Oh my God. Another one, another kid that's lost at sea or in a faraway land. Anyway. So basically Joe and Carrie are flirting. So now Nathan and Gail are talking about like whether or not Joe Joe's gonna seal the deal with Carrie. And she's like, she says what for him? And he's like, you think? She's like, yeah, I think she'll fall for it

because she's horny, but we're all horny out here. And he goes, well, now you have to wait. You get to wait. And they're just basically being flirty at the club. And he tells us, he's like, the way I am with Gail right now, it's actually surprising me because I'm not the kind of person that settles. I'm not Joe, he's like, the way I am with Gale right now, it's actually surprising me because I'm not the kind

of person that settles, I'm not Joe to be honest, but I do like her. You're not like Joe. And stop trying to be like the fucking alpha. I hate when guys do that. They're like, oh wow, that guy acts way more slutty and studly than me. I wanna be just like that.

You know, you don't have to force yourself to be like that. But he's gonna try. And he's like, but I, you know, I'm like Joe to be honest, but I really do like her. Gail's the exception. Yeah. So now they all are done at the clubs. They all pile into their vans and Joe and Nathan are in the back seat and they're drunk and they're having fun and Joe's like, bro, should I just book it's night now? Should I book a flight? It's under Ryanair. It's like 16 quid. Let's do it. I'm gonna come going to Dublin. So he like books this flight It's like fun. Like oh my god Joe's coming to Dublin

But Gail is like hmm this weird because Nathan told me we're going to Prague He was gonna come with me to Prague after the charter season and now it looks like he's gonna be hosting Joe and Dublin Yeah, Nathan's just sitting there smiling and she was like Nathan told me he wants to travel a bit after the season and I'm just the dickhead in the dark over here. I think we had all these plans when really these were just plans to be scribbled over. So she gets really upset about it. And then Aisha's like, why is that a problem? Did you know that he was going to do that?

And she's like, well, he booked flights before for Friday so that's my fault I guess and she's like wait a minute but you didn't even get thought about there's nothing wrong with Joe going but I think he should talk to you about the plans and girls like I can't expect anything from anyone that's it he's like do you feel upset because you're expecting something from Nathan and then he might not give it to you Are you upset because because you feel like you're the process is you're still processing a breakup Maybe you're upset because you just realize that your relationship with Nathan is fleeting in a fembrune after the season's over You guys have nothing much like your previous relationship

And really if you look at it all your relationships haven't been real at all because you have deep psychological issues, isn't that? Why are you crying girl? Why are you crying? So Gail's crying and Aisha's like, all right, I see that you're crying. Now listen, some people enjoy being alone forever

and it might be a very fun path for you to go down. Listen, old maid's a fun card game. It could also be a fun life to live for you. All right. Now, if you want to feel better, just reach into the next van and say, Ellie, you're not on service for the next charter. Just watch a spiral. Okay, againale, now that we're back on the yacht, let's come over here to this railing. Now look over there, you see that little plastic bag that someone threw in the ocean? That's you, alone and floating along,

forgotten about and just considered trash. Do you wanna cry now? Let it out. So Gale cries, and she's like, oh, stop, it's eating me harder. I'm trying to hold it in, but it's been so hard. Every day breaks my heart. Okay. Okay. I'm like, you're drunk. Let's do this on a non-drunken night so I can actually feel for you. Cause I can't on a drunken like, oh, my feelings on a drunken night. Now that said, she's just still hurting from her relationship or whatever, but I don't know. If Nathan really is like, fuck that. I'm going with this guy instead of you. Then I, yeah,

I mean I would be pissed, but. Yeah. I mean, I think, I think it sucks in the Yale situation that she's like, oh, you're like, this is a trigger for her. So, you know, her first thought was like, oh, okay, you don't even consider me. You're just going to go off and make plans with this guy who's being a dick to me and you invite him to Dublin. You don't invite me to Dublin. And I thought we had a plan and like not even a consideration. So I understand why she's crying. But when she was like, every day it breaks my heart. I was like, okay, this may be drunkenness too. I think the drunkenness just mixes in with it, you know? Oh gosh. Well,

she's so cute to gal. I mean, Gail sweet, sweet Gail, I don't know, Gal. Sweet, sweet Gal. Don't make Gal cry. Don't make Gal cry. You dumb, dumb person. Fuck, fuck face. All right, everyone. Thank you for being here for this very fun bonus episode

She struck him with her motor vehicle. She had been under the influence that she left him there. In January, 2022, local woman Karen Reed was implicated in the mysterious death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer, John O'Keefe.

It was alleged that after an innocent night out for drinks with friends, Karen and John got into a lover's quarrel en route to the next location. What happens next depends on who you ask. Was it a crime of passion? If you believe the prosecution, it's because the evidence was so compelling. This was clearly an intentional act.

And his cause of death was blunt force trauma with hypothermia. Or a corrupt police cover-up. If you believe the defense theory, however, this was all a cover-up to prevent one of their own from going down. Everyone had an opinion. And after the 10-week trial, the jury could not come to a unanimous decision. To end in a mistrial, it's just a confirmation

of just how complicated this case is. Law and crime presents the most in-depth analysis to date of the sensational case in Karen. You can listen to Karen exclusively with Wondery+. Join Wondery+, in the Wondery app, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.
