Episode Overview

Ben and Ronnie dive into another chaotic episode of Below Deck Mediterranean, Season 11 Episode 9 (“Watch Your Back”), the first in the post-Luke era. With one deckhand down and no replacement in sight, the crew is stretched to its limits as tensions rise on deck and drama brews in the interior, especially with role shifts and bruised egos. As always, Ben and Ronnie delight in their signature blend of recaps, hilarious roastings, impersonations (especially of Captain Sandy and Asia), and Bravo inside jokes.

Key Discussion Points & Recap

1. Introducing the Episode and Cast Dynamics

[02:31]

• Ben and Ronnie highlight that this is the first episode after Luke’s departure.
• They catch listeners up on shifting roles amongst the crew, with special focus on Nathan’s struggle as bosun, his family obligations, and Joe trying to seize the moment as a potential leader.

2. Nathan’s Tardiness & Captain Sandy’s Wrath

[04:43–09:59]

• Nathan shows up late due to family drama with Gail; Captain Sandy lays down the law about professionalism and the need to communicate.
• Ronnie's take: “Maybe you can't do everything well, if you're going to be a shitty father, be a shitty father, but show up for work.” [05:04]
• Ben notes, “How do you not think to call in? ... You're in a leadership position.” [06:27]
• The hosts riff on how basic responsibility—just calling in when late—shouldn’t be part of the “juggling.”

3. Preference Sheet Meeting & New Charter Guests

[10:17–12:19]

• The charter guests are newlyweds Allison and Danny and their glamorous friends, requesting elite yacht service, water toys galore, and a jungle-themed dinner.
• Lots of jokes and Asia impersonations about the guest demands and the “jungle” theme.

4. Deck Crew Crisis & Asia’s Temporary Role Change

[12:19–17:08]

• Norma, the agent, can’t find a new deckhand; Captain Sandy and crew roast Norma’s priorities and hair via their signature multi-character bit (Asia, Sandy, Norma comedic texts).
• Sandy decides to shift Asia (Chief Stew) onto deck duty, temporarily promoting Kaylee to Chief Stew. Much nervy excitement and interior drama ensues:
  • “This boat needs as much help as Norma needs with her hair, you know, but I don't have scissors on me, so I've got you instead.” — Asia as Captain Sandy [20:30]

5. Kaylee Steps Up, Jen Seethes

[22:19–24:44]

• Asia announces Kaylee’s promotion and her own shift to deck duties.
• Jen, the perennial grumbler, tries (and fails) to stay positive: “I'm really trying to stay positive. Like, I have.” [24:52]
• Kaylee’s confidence versus Jen’s not-so-concealed resentment becomes a recurring thread.

6. Inflatable Drama: Toys, Toys, and More Toys

[27:19–37:42]

• The arrival of heavy inflatables brings back classic Below Deck drama. There’s a debate on proper inflating protocol:
  • Ben: “Is it better to unfurl or is it better to just blow the air into it and let the natural process of the air unfurl it?” [34:33]
  • Ronnie does a proud deep dive into “music city drive in” and “custom inflatables.com” to settle the debate: Unfurl first, then inflate. [37:01–37:28]
• Captain Sandy launches a string of towel management metaphors and Mariah Carey-inspired “Vision of Towels” musical parody. [38:22–39:12]

7. Teamwork & Undermining on Deck

[40:29–54:49]

• Joe and Coop become frustrated with Nathan’s distracted management and inefficiency. Ben and Ronnie discuss how Joe, historically chaotic, now postures as a stickler for professionalism while undermining Nathan.
• “If you're gonna suck at your job, at least have your crew like you.” — Ronnie [52:43]
• Tensions reach a point where Nathan accuses Joe and Coop of disrespect, but the hosts agree Nathan is projecting due to his own recent failings.
• Kaylee and Cat notice Jen’s anger is mounting, symbolized by her aura meter shifting from peaceful purple to flickering red. [47:59–50:14]

8. Interior Blues: Jen vs. Kaylee

[45:42–47:08]

• Jen shines with her jungle-themed dinner setup, but still can't stand Kaylee’s promotion, “This should be a triumphant moment, right?” — Ben [45:42]
• Jen’s seething runs through the breakfast shift, with repeated complaints about lack of help and mounting dishes. [64:15–65:26]
• Kaylee remains cool and positive, which the hosts feel may be building toward a massive future blowup.

9. Nathan’s Injury & Deckhand Crisis Escalates

[56:02–58:03]

• Nathan suffers a back injury lifting inflatables, exposing just how unsustainable the short-handed deck is.
• Ronnie (as Captain Sandy): "Do you think that maybe it wouldn't have hurt your back if maybe you've been busy bringing towels down to the guests? ... Just thinking out loud." [57:31]
• A medic is called; Nathan’s future is uncertain, and Sandy faces a major staffing issue.

10. Joe’s Potential & The Future of the Crew

[59:29–69:29]

• Joe gears up to “prove” his bosun potential in Nathan’s absence, but Ben and Ronnie are skeptical.
• Excursion logistics go smoothly, Kaylee continues to impress Asia and the guests, and Jen’s exasperation reaches a comic high point.
• Captain Sandy fruitlessly pings Norma, begging for a deckhand while the team speculates about possible reinforcements from previous seasons.

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On Nathan’s lateness:
  “Maybe you can't do everything well, if you're going to be a shitty father, be a shitty father, but show up for work." — Ronnie [05:04]

• On the inflatables protocol:
  "According to music city drive in, they say it's better to lay it all out and then put the air in rather than put the air in and let the air push it into its proper shape. … custom inflatables.com says step one, unfold and inspect. … that's two points for Coop and Joe, zero for Nathan.” — Ben [37:01–37:28]

• On towels:
  “It's a B T — always be towelin’. Get your towels out.” — Captain Sandy (via Ben) [38:06]
  “I need you to have vision. Can you see wind? No, but you know when you can see it? When you're holding a towel up and the wind blows it.” — Captain Sandy (via Asia) [38:22]

• On Jen’s mounting rage:
  “I'm really trying to stay positive. Like, I have.” — Jen [24:52]
  “Her aura has gone from purple to yellow, out of nowhere.” — Ben [47:59]

Tone & Style

Maintaining their irreverent, affectionate roasting style, Ben and Ronnie pepper the recap with Bravo lore, running jokes (notably, towels and inflatables), pitch-perfect impersonations (especially of Captain Sandy and Asia), and playful speculation about behind-the-scenes yacht life. The episode is heavy on workplace comedy and relatable exasperation, making it thoroughly entertaining for both Bravo die-hards and casual listeners.

Final Thoughts

This episode masterfully balances comedy and recap, highlighting both the logistical chaos of a yacht under-staffed, and the interpersonal tension among the crew, especially with shifting positions. Between real operational struggles, existential towel speeches, and Jen’s burning frustration, the hosts keep the energy high and the laugh-out-loud moments coming — a classic installment for any Below Deck or Bravo comedy fan.

[Ben Mandelker]

With that being said, let's dive into the Adriatic Sea or at least into

[Captain Sandy]

Below Deck Med for another exciting episode. Our first in the post Luke era. What say you Ronnie?

[Ronnie Caram]

Here's what Sammy do you want to see a picture of me when I was just A little boy.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

My aunt just sent me this picture while you were talking. I looked at it, so I'm gonna

[Asia]

show it to you. What do you think of that?

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, I would love to see it.

[Ronnie Caram]

Why isn't it offering me window Open in the window. Why isn't it showing me Here, I'll just show you on my phone.

[Ben Mandelker]

Wow, look at that.

[Ronnie Caram]

Look how cute.

[Ben Mandelker]

Still had that same vibe.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, still same blue steel vibe. You know, slobber coming down my face, full head of hair.

[Ben Mandelker]

The shirt's great.

[Ronnie Caram]

I still wear that shirt. I still wear that on tour.

[Ben Mandelker]

It's very hipsters.

[Ronnie Caram]

So anyway, nobody can see that, really, unless you're on Crappins on demand, but there you go. I was young once.

[Asia]

I was young once.

[Ronnie Caram]

So here we are out with the

[Asia]

old inn with the stew, and Dubrovnik

[Ronnie Caram]

is huge, and Joe is steaming mad. Steaming mad because Nate. Nathan showed up late for work.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. Joe, of course, has taken the very first chance he can to basically pull the. What was her name? Stormy.

[Jen]

The if I were Chief Stew.

[Kaylee]

So.

[Ronnie Caram]

Bugsy.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, Bugsy. Why did I say Stormy?

[Jen]

Oh, she's like, because I'm bringing the storm.

[Ben Mandelker]

I was like, that's funny.

[Asia]

If I was Chief still.

[Ronnie Caram]

And then it ended up working out. Didn't she come back as Chief sue once or. No.

[Captain Sandy]

No.

[Cooper]

What?

[Ben Mandelker]

No, she wound up taking over as Chief Stew when Hannah was fired.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, right. That didn't work out great.

[Ben Mandelker]

I don't think Bugsy for her. So Joe is like, I know that

[Cooper]

if I were late, it would be a different story.

[Ben Mandelker]

And Cooper's like, now I understand where it's coming from.

[Cooper]

It's like, he's late from fucking work and he's the boson. That's just unacceptable.

[Ben Mandelker]

So then Nathan has just arrived, and he's standing in Sandy's office, and she's

[Captain Sandy]

like, where have you been, Wayne started at least 30 minutes ago. You missed the whole first half of the show. I mean, the season's been unbelievable. Like, that one cloud that we all thought was dead. And then, like, that guy who loves the cloud was like, I am the king. And then the cloud came back to life and blew wind.

[Ben Mandelker]

Everyone was shocked.

[Captain Sandy]

It was crazy. You missed it all, Nathan.

[Asia]

So intense this season, you know, it's Wind Island. You have to watch it every day. You can't just miss a day. One wind was wearing a bikini bottom, but took off their bikini top. And then other wind got a wind boom. And let me tell you, I've never seen two. Two clumps of wind fight so hard was beautiful. Can't wait to see what happens today. Wind is going to get kicked off today.

[Captain Sandy]

Yeah. And then next week it's supposed to be Casa Winmore, so, like, a lot

[Ben Mandelker]

of new bombshells are gonna be entering.

[Captain Sandy]

A lot of clouds are entering the villa, so you gotta keep up, Nathan.

[Ronnie Caram]

Well, I was looking after some family things. Okay. Yeah, you can't. Okay, first off, you were supposed to go home to Gail, and you didn't go home till midnight so you could go out with everybody first. And then you probably had to argue with Gayle because she was really pissed off at you when you got home. Then you had to stay up arguing all night, and then you slept late, and now you're late to work. Do one of these things, right? Pick one of these things and do them well. You know, you can't. Maybe you can't do everything well, if you're going to be a shitty father, be a shitty father, but show up for work. Or if you're going to be a good father, be a good father and show up late for work. But right now, both are. You're not. You're not doing great at both.

[Ben Mandelker]

Also, how do you not think to call in? Like, you're sitting there in that Uber for a very long time. How are you not even calling then? Because part of me says, oh, like, they had a fight last night, and then this morning they had makeup sex. So of course you're not going to

[Captain Sandy]

call in the middle of sex and

[Ben Mandelker]

be like, Captain Sunday. I'm gonna be a little bit late because I'm having sex right now. So, like, there's a possibility of that. That's the only reason I could imagine that he doesn't make that phone call. Or maybe he's almost like. Like he doesn't want to. I don't know. I don't know what it is. But, like, how do you even. Once you get into your Uber, how do you not make that phone call? That's crazy. You're in a leadership position.

[Ronnie Caram]

And to be like, where were you? And just to say in the tone, like, I had some family stuff. No, no, no, that's. No, you call, you text. So she asks, why didn't you call me? And he just goes, oh, good point, good point. Are you new?

[Ben Mandelker]

This is crazy. That's a crazy response. I think you just say, yeah, I'm sorry. I. My. I thought I could get here in on time and I couldn't.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. So she's like, well, I've got to

[Asia]

Be able to trust that you're going to show up. I mean, you know, if something comes up, you got to call me.

[Ronnie Caram]

He's like, okay, sorry. So what happened? It was a tough morning. Gail's having a tough time, and she's

[Asia]

like, okay, look, have a seat. I don't know what happened, but the first thing you do is you call me and you say, listen, could you put whatever code you need to put in the phone that feels like a hug? And then I'll beat the numbers. Hug. Do you understand? It's how it goes.

[Captain Sandy]

Yeah. Just say, you know, if you say. If you call up and say, I need some time, of course I'm gonna give you the time.

[Ben Mandelker]

Until I decide I don't want to give you the time. So Nathan tells us. I mean, for sake, I should have called Captain Sandy, but I'm feeling guilty. Gail flew across the world with our

[Captain Sandy]

son to support me.

[Ben Mandelker]

And I can see how moving away from her support network is affecting her. And I guess this is what I have to learn. How to juggle the responsibility of being a boson and being there for Gail. That's. That's fine. It's also, like, not. This is not something that you have to learn. Like, amongst the juggling is to, like, call your boss and say, I'm going to be late to work. Like, that's something. That's like a. That's like just a base level. Here's how to work in a. In an office or a workplace.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. It's a common courtesy.

[Captain Sandy]

It's not.

[Ronnie Caram]

Okay.

[Ben Mandelker]

It's not like, oh, I've got to juggle all these things. Now I'm learning that if I'm late, I guess I have to let my boss know. It's like, no, that's not a juggle there. That's not the juggle.

[Asia]

We've got a boat that needs to be like, a man who's encountered Norma

[Ronnie Caram]

for the first time. It's gotta run.

[Asia]

Okay. And I need to know that you're

[Ronnie Caram]

gonna be my bosung. Okay? He's like, my head's in it. I'm so sorry.

[Asia]

Why are you holding your nipple? I'm sorry.

[Ronnie Caram]

I was getting ready to feed. Sorry, I'm really not here right now.

[Asia]

Okay, well, you know, Nathan's in a super unique situation. He's got a newborn. That's why I'm gonna give him some grace. But this better not happen again, or that newborn. He's gonna be put on this boat and put to work.

[Ben Mandelker]

She just becomes the witch from into the woods.

[Captain Sandy]

She's like, I take your newborn and name it Rapunzel.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Nathan goes out onto the deck and he's like, sorry, boys, I've got no sleep last night.

[Cooper]

And then Coop's like, no worries.

[Jen]

Glad you're back.

[Ben Mandelker]

Don't laugh. So Joe is like, I don't know.

[Cooper]

Fuck me.

[Ben Mandelker]

He's just, like, shaking his head like, this is crazy.

[Cooper]

I can't believe you showed up late.

[Ben Mandelker]

And so in inside, there's a preference sheet.

[Asia]

Meeting.

[Ben Mandelker]

And we are meeting Allison and Danny, and they're recent newlyweds, and they're looking to celebrate their wedding with their closest

[Jen]

friends, Heather and Bobby, and also Amanda and Eric and Nick and his tattoo artist wife, Megan.

[Ronnie Caram]

Megan. There are a lot of tattoos coming up. Lot of ink. Lot of ink. On their way over here. And it's the first time Allison and Dani have ever charted a yacht. So looking for very refined people. They're gonna be party animals, I think so. Aisha's like, I don't know. They go through this. Whatever they want water toys, jet skis, seabobs, efoil.

[Asia]

They want it all. I want to see water toys everywhere. I want to pull up my blanket and say, oh, why isn't this comfortable? Oh, my God, it's a seabob. That's why.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, they've done a great job.

[Ben Mandelker]

These guests want to see elite yacht service and also a jungle themed dinner. So that's fun. And then they're going to go on a little excursion.

[Ronnie Caram]

So I want an elite jungle themed dinner.

[Kaylee]

Okay.

[Ronnie Caram]

I want Michelin Star, but we're all gonna wear leopard print and zebra print.

[Asia]

Okay?

[Cooper]

I know.

[Captain Sandy]

So Sandy's like, okay, everyone, now the bad news. I've been trying to get a new deckhand, and I just can't find one, unfortunately. You know, I really need a fourth deckhand. Like, we do have a lot of inflatables. Okay. Not to mention the last time we tried to dock the boat shorthanded. We hit the dock, and I've been writing Norma, I've been texting everyone you know. I know. And I'm like, I. I can't even find a decan. I'm like, norma, I understand that there's a sale at Dress Barn, but we need to get your head in the game right now. We need to find a bosun. I mean, or a deckhant.

[Asia]

We'll get through this, everyone. Don't worry. We are gonna get through this meeting. When journed I'm sorry. God, my mind's really one place Today.

[Ronnie Caram]

So she texts Norma and she's like, hey there.

[Asia]

Checking in about a new deckhant. Okay, I know it's really hard for you to get a dick in your hand, but we're just going to need to focus on the deckhand, okay? Norma, we've got a very heavy charter coming up. We need a full team for safety reasons. Stop dicking around over there and get me a goddamn boson. What the hell is wrong with you?

[Kaylee]

Bloop.

[Captain Sandy]

Oh, hey, bitch. Sorry, I'm just having a little bit of a difficult time finding anyone who's interested in working on a boat with

[Ben Mandelker]

high turnover rates because of terrible management.

[Captain Sandy]

But, you know, well, maybe there'll be someone with terribly low standards who will also join you. That's sort of your brand, isn't Bloop.

[Kaylee]

Bloop.

[Asia]

Well, just trying not to make sure their standards are. Standards are too low or you might actually find a man, okay? I need him to be working.

[Jen]

Bloop.

[Captain Sandy]

Yeah, well, at least I've got standards. You've got stand derps, and that's what's

[Ben Mandelker]

going on in your boat.

[Jen]

Bloop. Bloop.

[Asia]

By the way, bitch, could you check with Mary time law and see if I am allowed to give a squeegee to a baby?

[Captain Sandy]

Maritime law says that is actually allowed and that the statute limitations of you plagiarizing he man's haircut has passed. So keep on going with that, Bob.

[Asia]

Oh, hey, when the baby comes on board, you should come meet it. It's the first person I've ever met that, you know, chews just like you. Food coming down their face, the whole meal.

[Jen]

Bloop.

[Captain Sandy]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, you know, I am on a liquid diet these days because every time

[Ben Mandelker]

I see your face, all my teeth fall out, which is terrible.

[Kaylee]

Bloop.

[Ronnie Caram]

Wow, so now you're blaming me for your lack of flossing or any childhood dentistry? That's.

[Asia]

That's rich.

[Kaylee]

Bloop.

[Ben Mandelker]

Sorry, that was a metaphor for me

[Captain Sandy]

trying to find anyone who's willing to

[Ben Mandelker]

work for your totally inept boat.

[Jen]

Bloop. Bloop.

[Asia]

You'd probably even have trouble getting a boyfriend in jail and you're already toothless.

[Jen]

Bloop.

[Ben Mandelker]

But I'm not homeless.

[Ronnie Caram]

Bloop.

[Kaylee]

Good point.

[Asia]

Love you.

[Cooper]

Love you too.

[Kaylee]

Bloop.

[Ronnie Caram]

So we go to the deck. Joe and Nathan are cleaning up. And Joe's like, did you have a good night, mate?

[Asia]

And he's like, oh, I tried, bro.

[Ronnie Caram]

It'll.

[Asia]

I'll take it easy with the whole family coming as well and stuff. Hell, it's hard.

[Cooper]

Hey, you know, I know he's got a baby, and look, I'm gonna pretend like I'm concerned by holding an invisible little ball in front of me with my hands. I know he's got a baby, but he. But he knows what this job entails. And in my eyes, he's been unprofessional and inconsiderate of our team. There's an element of, I don't want to be here. And as head of department, you've got to be in it to win it.

[Ben Mandelker]

Like with this gaslighting that Joe's doing. Oh, you can see he's really checked out everyone. He doesn't even want to be here.

[Captain Sandy]

Look at him, making silly mistakes.

[Ben Mandelker]

I mean, Nathan fucked up big time, but Joe is just trying to take his job at this point.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, I mean, Nathan is checked out. Captain Sandy calls it out, you know, a couple of times. So it's like, Joe's not wrong. It's just that we can't forget that Joe is the guy who's made complete chaos on this boat for his last two seasons in a row and had people crying and upset, and he was using people and, you know, doing it, playing. He was being a player on the boat for two seasons, making life hell for everybody, and now he's like, you

[Asia]

know what I care about? Professionalism.

[Ben Mandelker]

Well, he's also such a snake because, like, at the beginning of the season, these two were in, like, a fight. And it's like the fight is a little bit better now, but, like, Nathan was like, I don't like her anymore. But then Joe is like, I don't

[Cooper]

see what the problem is. I don't have a problem with him. He's got the problem with me.

[Ben Mandelker]

But, like, Joe does have a problem with him because he doesn't. He doesn't get surly the way Nathan does, but he just goes around and undermines, which is exactly what he did with Gail as well. So here he is again, you know, with his bullshit of, like, you know,

[Cooper]

he's just totally checked out. That's not what a boss would need

[Ben Mandelker]

to be, you know?

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, and now he's anti Nathan and Gail, so he's. He's getting to come for two, you know, instead of just one. So Sandy calls Nathan to the bridge,

[Asia]

and she's like, well, we need another deckhand. What do you think about Asia helping you out?

[Cooper]

Deck?

[Asia]

What about that? She's not stressed enough. It's like, I love that idea. I think that would work. She's done some night watches. She's already dropped the anchor before. Yeah, well, you know, that's all it really takes on this boat. Drop an anchor right into the deck.

[Ronnie Caram]

We've also done that, but that was fun.

[Asia]

Remember that It's a good time.

[Captain Sandy]

If Asia thinks she can handle checking in with the interior crew while she's on deck, I don't really think we have another choice. I mean, the safety of this boat is in in the guests and the crew need to be priority over anything else.

[Asia]

It's time for a commercial it's time for a crappin commercial.

Quince specializes in everyday staples that work harder, like their ultra soft organic cotton tees and premium Mongolian cashmere sweaters. They're versatile, timeless and transition seamlessly from a casual workday to dinner out.

[Ronnie Caram]

If you're still hanging onto the same worn out basics, Quint makes it easy to upgrade. They have premium denim and tailored chinos from just $60 with the kind of perfect fit structure and high quality fabrics you'd expect from a luxury designer brand.

[Ben Mandelker]

Everything at Quint is priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands. They work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen so you're paying for high quality, not brand markup. I got something for all my great Quint's clothing, which is I got a garment duffel. It's like a garment bag, but it can actually sort of coil up on itself and form a duffel bag. So you can basically turn the inside

[Captain Sandy]

cavity into a whole bag.

[Ben Mandelker]

It's like two bags in one. It's crazy. It's a crazy feat of engineering and I'm obsessed.

[Ronnie Caram]

[Ben Mandelker]

Basically, now they like approach her and they're like, what do you think about being a decky?

[Jen]

You know, she's like, whoa, like a dick and fuck. That just means that they're going to be down in sword.

[Ronnie Caram]

So she tells us, you know, I've

[Kaylee]

got my suit, but, you know, I don't know how good I'm going to be at this. I mean, there's not really a better alternative right now. So I guess I'll give it a go. Hey,

[Jen]

so I'm going to be as this whole child and Sandy's like, you know what?

[Captain Sandy]

We need the help, okay? Because Dum Dum there in the, you

[Ben Mandelker]

know, in the office can't seem to

[Captain Sandy]

finally anyone to help with the deckhands. Sorry. I love you, but you're a dumb dumb in this situation. And I just, you know, it's just, it's gonna have to be you.

[Asia]

Gosh, this boat needs as much help as Norman needs with her hair, you know, But I don't have scissors on me, so I've got you instead. Get out there and kill him, Aisha.

[Kaylee]

It's like, I'll be fine.

[Asia]

Just make sure you keep your eye on the interior team, okay?

[Cooper]

This.

[Ronnie Caram]

This is too much, I would say. I don't, I don't think so. I'm so sorry, but. Well, no, that's outside. And I use Retin A so I can't go out there or my skin will burn off. Sorry. I earned air conditioning, I think.

[Ben Mandelker]

But you know Asia, she loves an adventure. I mean, she lived in that van with Scott for like two years doing the Nomadland thing. So this is like.

[Jen]

She's like, oh, how fun. So.

[Ben Mandelker]

And they have like a pretty competent deck. I mean, interior team. So she's like, whatever, we're gonna do this.

[Jen]

And I feel like this is such a great moment for Kaylee because I really do see so much potential in her as a chief steward. So obviously I'll be there if she needs me to come and squish it. Let's do it, baby.

[Ronnie Caram]

So now Joe, Asia, Asia and Nathan are talking about how she's going to be on the deck team.

[Asia]

Joe's really excited and he's like, she's abnormally strong.

[Ronnie Caram]

And then we see a Clip of her holding Joe on her shoulders and being like, yes. Which is crazy. I've thrown out my back. I mean, literally, like, getting a pen off the floor or taking out the trash or When's a good one? Recrossing my legs. One time I threw out my back. Recrossing my legs.

[Ben Mandelker]

That's a good one.

[Ronnie Caram]

So to see somebody just lift somebody on their shoulders like that is crazy.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, it's very impressive. So Asia gathers the girls, and she's

[Jen]

like, well, everyone, I've got a bit of a bomb to drop you off on, which is Jen, your parents called and said that they're not impressed with the idea of someone being a person. I don't know why they told me that.

[Ben Mandelker]

Jen's like, God damn it. Mother and father Purser is success.

[Jen]

No. Furthermore, Sandy asked me to shift over to deck for this charter. And, Kelly, you're going to be chief sue, so congratulations. Now everyone is clearly enjoying this announcement, right? Okay, Cat, you seem happy. And Jen. Jen, are you twisting the leg off of a table right now? Are you okay?

[Ronnie Caram]

Jen can barely hold it in anymore.

[Kaylee]

She's like, oh, God damn it.

[Ronnie Caram]

What the.

[Asia]

I'm fine.

[Ronnie Caram]

This is gonna be great.

[Kaylee]

All right, well, let's just keep the flow. Let me know if you've got any questions about it. I'll just be over here curling the ankle.

[Jen]

You know, I've never seen someone's ha. Braid itself and get frizzy at the same time just upon hearing a little bit of news.

[Ben Mandelker]

I'm just imagining Jen's hair just turns into her. Like, her psychotic braids.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. Steam coming out of her ears. So Kaylee's psych.

[Asia]

She's like, I feel, like, cool. I'm experienced enough to handle this.

[Kaylee]

I can do this. I've just got to have confidence.

[Ronnie Caram]

And Jim's like, oh, my God, I was so ready to be more positive. I'm, like, trying over here. I'm trying to be positive. I was just fine with her being second Stew. And now she's gonna be the chief

[Kaylee]

Stew,

[Ben Mandelker]

How am I gonna be positive? This is gonna be a disaster. So now Aisha is basically giving Kaylee a game plan and everything. And then, you know, Kaylee's saying, you know, talk about, like, they'll all be on service, yada, yada.

[Captain Sandy]

And she's like, this will be so much fun.

[Ben Mandelker]

I can't wait for it. And Cat's like, oh, my God, Communication.

[Jen]

I'm such a nerd.

[Ben Mandelker]

So they are like, kaylee tries to do this thing, you know, where you put your.

[Captain Sandy]

Bring it in.

[Ben Mandelker]

Put your hand in the center. 2, 4, 6, 8. Who do we appreciate? So she, like, puts her hand in. Cat puts her hand in. And Jen is like, like, what do I do? Like, wait, I have to put my hand on your hands? But if I don't, like, k this moment, like, okay, fine. She's very unhappy.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah.

[Asia]

So she tries the 1, 2, 3, Med. And Jen's like, I'm really trying to stay positive. I'm really trying to stay positive. Like, I have.

[Ronnie Caram]

So I don't want to be like, this negative cloud of energy around people, you know? I mean, I had a horrible experience on my last boat. Even worse than this.

[Asia]

After that, I did a detox trip to Bali. Thanks, mom got a book on how to read auras.

[Ronnie Caram]

So, yeah, the aura I'm trying to

[Asia]

project this charter is just purple. It's peaceful purple.

[Captain Sandy]

Peace.

[Asia]

Peaceful purple.

[Ben Mandelker]

I just want to look like grimace. I'm like, well, I do see a grimace, if that's helpful. And so that now. Now this kicks off an ongoing bit on the show where they keep showing her aura meter, and right now it's in purple. And predictably, it does not stay in that color. Then we go to the deck and Asia Tech Scott about this whole thing, and. And then in the pantry, Joe and Kaylee are sort of being flirty and everything, and he's like, you've got this.

[Cooper]

This is a massive move up, eh? Like, you've got it. Embrace it. What you. What you know, what you do. Bard, you learn.

[Ronnie Caram]

So he's like, you know, beside.

[Asia]

Outside of everything going on with us, she's gonna be an absolute smash run in the interior. She's like, me. She just works too hard to fail, literally.

[Ben Mandelker]

We've had two seasons of watching you mess up on deck, Joe, like, working too hard to fail. That concept doesn't actually even work. Makes sense. Like, literally, Nathan works to worked too hard and failed today.

[Ronnie Caram]

So now it's 15 minutes till charter. Everyone has to get in their whites. And Asia's giving Kaylee advice on guest relations.

[Kaylee]

She's like, all right, so when everyone gets on, you need to stay with them, chat to them. Oh, where you from? Oh, Arizona. I love Arizona.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's like, what's Arizona?

[Kaylee]

It's a fucking hot place where people come from. You'll tell because they've got really dry hair and their skin. You can draw up pictures on it with your fingernail, right? It's just a place.

[Jen]

It's a place where the women will have red hair. But also yellow hair, all at the same time. It's called ketchup. Ketchup and mustard highlights. It's also the home of ice tea. Iced tea was invented in Arizona.

[Ronnie Caram]

So now the guests arrive, and Kaylee is giving the tour today while Aisha joins the deck, and she's doing the anchor with Joe. And the guests are like, hey, can we just get a Bud Light on here? Yeah, it's hilarious. Thanks for the best tour ever, Kaylee.

[Kaylee]

She's like, oh, I love Arizona.

[Ronnie Caram]

Would you like some lotion?

[Captain Sandy]

So you're a tattoo artist, is it? Right?

[Ben Mandelker]

And he's like, yeah, I am, but I'm retired because I hate tattooing.

[Captain Sandy]

Well, stop it. I mean, that's why you're tired, I guess.

[Ben Mandelker]

And then she shows him her tattoo, which people may have forgotten is it says liability inside of her lip. And he was like, whoa. It says liability?

[Captain Sandy]

Wow.

[Ben Mandelker]

Shut the fuck up. Does that say liability? I've seen a lot of things on the lip, but that's a. That's a good one. Which is his code of saying, that's a terrible, terrible tattoo you've got inside of there.

[Ronnie Caram]

You are the reason I quit tattooing drunk idiots asking for stupid things in the middle of the night. You are the reason I quit.

[Jen]

Thank you.

[Ronnie Caram]

I did forget that she had that.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

God awful thing.

[Ben Mandelker]

Bless her heart. What a. I don't know what's worse, that or Tamara's son's tattoo that says nugget on the inside.

[Ronnie Caram]

Oh, what did Daisy say? Daisy has one on the inside of her butt too. Right? I forgot what it says.

[Ben Mandelker]

I think it says, got to work. Got to wearing her. Gary, how many Peters are in the basket

[Ronnie Caram]

on deck? Nak is having everyone pull out all the toys, and Aisha's ready for this,

[Kaylee]

and she's like, oh, I started as the deckhead. Now I had to leave because my captain was just such an. I would have just cleaned everything on deck. And then he would pull out a saw table and just start sawing on the deck and get wood dust all over the deck. And finally I said, said you this. And I became a. I became a stew.

[Ronnie Caram]

What? Who is the captain doing that? He was whipping out a saw and, like, doing his woodworking on the deck.

[Ben Mandelker]

You know where's a great place to do woodworking with saws and heavy machinery on an unsteady moving deck? What was happening here? How did this happen?

[Ronnie Caram]

I don't know. How has this man not been a captain on below deck? Because that shit's hilarious. That sounds like that sounds like a below deck sailing type of captain.

[Ben Mandelker]

That's crazy. It's also crazy that he didn't put down, like, a tarp or something. But, like, what? Why was he sawing? What was he sawing? I need to get to the bottom of this. So guess what? Now Coop and HR are throwing the slide over the railing. You know, one thing that we have

[Captain Sandy]

not seen a lot of this season

[Ben Mandelker]

or really in a moment, is drama about inflating and deflating things like slides and things. You know, if there was a period of time on this show and other shows, but especially this show where it was like, oh, time to blow up the slide. And all the Daikhans would groan. I was like, oh, man, do we have to do the slide? The slide is hard. How do we do the slide? And Sandy would be like, the slide's got to go out.

[Captain Sandy]

It's like, well, we didn't want to

[Jen]

put up the slide because it's so heavy.

[Ben Mandelker]

It's like the slide every time, the slide. And so we sort of move past that. Sort of like how they don't really show provisions anymore, but this episode, they're like, we're bringing it back heavy inflatable items. And they're all going to be picking them up all episode long.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. So Nathan's listing them all. He's like, get out. Get the bar, the canopy, the sea bobs.

[Kaylee]

Why are we doing all this without the crime?

[Asia]

Let's just move as quick as we can, guys.

[Ronnie Caram]

I know it's a lot, and I'm going to stand here and watch you do it, which is really pissing off Coop and what's his buttons? Joe?

[Ben Mandelker]

Joe.

[Ronnie Caram]

Because Nathan is kind of dazed today,

[Asia]

he's like, do this, do that.

[Ronnie Caram]

And then he'll just be kind of staring at a wall. And so Sandy is asking Aisha to shammy the stairs, and they're bringing inflatable stuff out. And Nathan's like, you don't need two to do that. Why has it taken you two to do one thing? And they're like, the current's pretty big. It does take two. And Coop's like, I hate when he says stuff like that. We're working our asses off.

[Ben Mandelker]

That's bad. If you're making Coop get angry, he's, like, so happy. Go lucky. And now he's starting to turn this

[Ronnie Caram]

episode so more toys turning Coop, which is pretty crazy. And it's a mixture of Nathan being out to lunch and also Joe just working on Coop nonstop. Because every time they cut to Joe,

[Asia]

he's like, yeah, this is very unprofessional and I don't like this. I'm more professional than him and I

[Ronnie Caram]

can't believe I'm professional. And Coop, you know, impressionable.

[Ben Mandelker]

He is impressionable.

[Ronnie Caram]

Sweet guy, but impressionable.

[Ben Mandelker]

Very impressionable. Very. This is also a man who would gather like fish and things from the river and put him in his above ground pool and had his own little aquarium. So, like, he's not the brightest bulb.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

Okay.

[Captain Sandy]

So.

[Ben Mandelker]

But Nathan's also definitely that sort of manager where if he's having a bad day, he's going to make you feel it.

[Kaylee]

It.

[Ben Mandelker]

You know, he's done this before and sometimes it's been justified, but he really does. He really. He's his guy probably sucks to work for. So they're all the. Coop and Joe are struggling and Coop

[Cooper]

is like, you know, it's better to. Hey, Joe.

[Ben Mandelker]

It's better to lay this out before blowing it up and then letting it just, you know, you know, just do itself.

[Cooper]

I mean, that doesn't even believe this.

[Ben Mandelker]

He's basically annoyed because they. He thinks that there should be an order in which they, they should pull everything out and then inflate it. Rather than inflate it, then pull it out, I guess. And they're just like grumbling like, this is inefficient, it's stupid. But they can't say anything about it otherwise they'll get in trouble.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. And it's also like, how does Nathan not know that, like, you need to lay the toys out first and kind of unfurl them and then inflate them?

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, it was a little confused. Was he trying to inflate them without them being unfurled?

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, it's like just put them out there and then start blowing them up and then the air will kind of of expand them or whatever. I mean, I guess this is crazy. You know, this show gets us into so many weird conversations. Like, what's the best way to inflate a toy? I mean, I don't really know.

[Ben Mandelker]

I don't know.

[Ronnie Caram]

But I see whatever it was saying as it's happening. But now that I'm talking about it, I'm like, what the fuck do I know about what am I making?

[Ben Mandelker]

I was like on this for when I saw it, I was like, you know what? Ronnie will understand this. I was like, I was confused. I was like, either Ronnie will or our note taker, Will.

[Ronnie Caram]

It seemed like he was saying you have to get the toys out, then you have to unfurl them and place them where you want to be. And then once you start blowing them up with air, they go up much more quickly because they're where they need to be. They're unfurled, blah, blah, blah. And Nathan's like, just shove the air in there, put them in a place, and they'll unfurl themselves with the air. But I don't know, I'm. I'm kind of team Coop just because he's the one actually doing it and Nathan is just barking and not really doing that much and then staring at a wall.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. I wish there was a way to find out what the best practices are for inflating a giant yacht toy. Is it better to unfurl or is it better to just blow the air into it and let the natural process of the air unfurl it? Because it's going to unfurl anyway, so why put your muscles into it? Which would then I guess go towards Nathan's point of view. But obviously Joe and. And Cooper are. Are. Are slaving away under the duress of this. This workflow. So I just want to get to the bottom of it now.

[Ronnie Caram]

So Kaylee and Joy are talking, and Joy is teaching her basically what she needs to do.

[Asia]

And she's like, you have to judge what they like. So if you see that they didn't touch something, you have to tell me. There's no reason to tell me. It's amazing. Okay? I don't give a shit. Please them. So tell me bad things.

[Captain Sandy]

Yeah, tell me bad things.

[Ben Mandelker]

I want to know everything about cuz.

[Captain Sandy]

I know.

[Ben Mandelker]

I'm so good already. Let's start out with terrible. I struggled with Suzanne. I lost my best friend.

[Cooper]

I almost killed Coupe.

[Ben Mandelker]

I want to get the energy back I had at the beginning of the season because I'm quite low now. I don't like to trade in stereotypes, but I have to admit, when Joy had this little mini monologue, it really would have been wonderful if we had some sort of, like, Edith Piaf playing or like accordion. It would have been wonderful.

[Ronnie Caram]

Floating dot. Guests are able to use all the toys now. There he is, numb. So Sandy's like, joe, you need towels for everyone.

[Asia]

I've got them. Give him one. He's just got out of the water. Okay. You got enough towels? I do.

[Ronnie Caram]

Enough for everybody?

[Asia]

No. Fuck's sake.

[Ronnie Caram]

This is a clown show.

[Asia]

Jesus.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's like looking at Norma's Tinder.

[Ben Mandelker]

I've done the good work of researching the best practices for inflating and deflating your custom inflatables without damage. And according to music city drive in, they say it's better to lay it all out and then put the air in rather than put the air in and let the air push it into. Into its proper shape. So there you go.

[Ronnie Caram]

Wow. There's a very self satisfied

[Asia]

for me.

[Captain Sandy]

Yeah, there you go.

[Ben Mandelker]

So the point is, thank you for

[Ronnie Caram]

just proving a point that didn't really

[Asia]

need to be proven, but feels very good to my soul.

[Captain Sandy]

Yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

Also.

[Captain Sandy]

Also custom inflatables.com says step one, unfold and inspect.

[Ben Mandelker]

So there you go. Unfold first.

[Captain Sandy]

So that's two points for. For Coop and Joe, zero for Nathan. I'm Shannon Beador reporting back from the custom inflatable Olympics.

[Asia]

Oh, I'm falling.

[Ben Mandelker]

Wow.

[Asia]

So Sandy's like, what the hell? You know? I know we just shuffled the team, but it's not like they're down a deckhand. I didn't pull Asia from the interior deck team to still be a shit show. Joe, I need you guys to be visual.

[Captain Sandy]

Okay? Are there towels?

[Ben Mandelker]

Yes. Enough for everyone?

[Jen]

No.

[Ben Mandelker]

Could they share a towel?

[Asia]

Yes.

[Captain Sandy]

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to answer

[Ben Mandelker]

that one for you, Joe. I just got excited.

[Captain Sandy]

The point is this. Towels always. It's a b T always be towel in. Get your towels out. Okay. Hey, did you get some good chicken last night? I did. I got it from towel and Ray's Hot Nashville hot chicken. Get those towels ready to go.

[Asia]

I need you to have vision. Can you see wind? No, but you know when you can see it? When you're holding a towel up and the wind blows it. Okay, that's why we need more towels. I want towel for every wind that comes through here. Get on it.

[Captain Sandy]

It's like Mariah Carey once sang. I had a vision of towels and it was more than I meant it to be. I had a vision of towels and they were wrapped around Norma's head. She calls that a ballroom dress, but we all know it's a terry cloth towel. Still, she believes she'll find her prince charming when she goes out into the world wearing nothing but towels. I'm sorry, what were we talking about?

[Asia]

Are you done there? Well, I would have been singing into a towel as a microphone had there been enough towels. I believe the towels are our future.

[Ronnie Caram]

Okay, I'm getting some towels. Jeez, Nathan, is there a shower here?

[Asia]

When is the shower going up here? I need a shower here. I don't see one.

[Captain Sandy]

Why do you get. Why are you giving them towels but no shower? I mean, have the vision. You need to have the vision.

[Asia]

The shower's not up. There's no towels. No one's attentive to the guests. That speaks volumes where Nathan's head is. It's like he's not even on board. Nathan. Nathan. What? I couldn't see. I had a towel over my head.

[Captain Sandy]

Gosh, I can't live if living is without towels. I can't live. Can't live with no towels. Sorry. It's just, you know, once you get going with those towel songs, it's. It's exciting.

[Asia]

All right, now listen, I'm not happy because, you know, the shower wasn't out, the towels weren't out. I mean, what are we going to talk about this morning? If you're here, you got to get your shit together. This is charter. Five towels, okay? I want five out of five towels from you. Now get your together. Come on, Nathan.

[Ronnie Caram]

He's like, oh, you know, fair enough.

[Asia]

That was a show, I guess. And, hey, Joe, you're part of this, too. Now, I know there's a lot of activity going on, but what, is this all over the place? Yeah, it is. So we want to make sure our setup is like cookie cutter every day. You're the lead deckhand. He's not on board. You've got a lead. All right, now, if this were an ice skating party, how would you do a table setting? I want to. I want to hear about table decor. Okay, you never know. You never know.

[Cooper]

Oh, God, I want to lead, but, you know, Nathan practically threatened me not to lead, and he's going to chew my head off even if I contemplate leading. And I've got Captain Sandy telling I need to have towels out there, but also cookie cutters. Are we making little cookies out of towels?

[Jen]

I'm so confused.

[Ronnie Caram]

Oh, Joe. So Joe's like, oh, he basically threatened

[Asia]

my life if I ever helped him, or.

[Ronnie Caram]

No, he was telling you not to undermine him and not undermine every decision he makes just because you don't like him.

[Jen]

Him.

[Ronnie Caram]

That's what he was telling you, and that's exactly what you're doing right now.

[Captain Sandy]

Okay, let's. Okay, let's. Let's. Let's. Tomorrow, let's act like Norma's forehead on a date. Let's shine. Okay? Because today was a disaster, which is

[Ronnie Caram]

also Norma's forehead, so.

[Ben Mandelker]

Which was just the general state of that date that she was on.

[Asia]

Hey there. Heard that. My forehead's doing great, thanks. Still no decant available. You absolute bitch face.

[Captain Sandy]

Bloop. Hey, that's Fine. You don't need to send a deckhand at this point.

[Ben Mandelker]

We'd just be happy if you could send some sort of towel.

[Jen]

Bloop.

[Kaylee]

Bloop.

[Asia]

I've been trying to send you towels, but you never stop making a mess. So I guess if I really want to fix this mess, I should send you a new captain. Oh,

[Captain Sandy]

okay, that's really funny. You're gonna send me a new captain. Let's just get those towels here.

[Ben Mandelker]

Before you ask, a lobster bib does not count.

[Captain Sandy]

Especially none of the used ones that you say.

[Jen]

Bloop.

[Kaylee]

Bloop.

[Asia]

Keep looking.

[Jen]

Commercials.

We're about to have jungle dinner, guys. And Jen's like, that's as good as gonna get for this giraffe. I've had it. My aura is down. Sick of blowing things up.

[Ben Mandelker]

Mad at the giraffe. She's like, that's a. That's as far as you get. But she's like, see, I told you I was good at blowing. So Kayla's like, all right, well, we

[Captain Sandy]

can start setting up the dinner typal thing.

[Ben Mandelker]

And so then they are setting it up, and then Jen goes to town and she, like, makes this jungle themed table that, like, wows everyone. And she's like, see, sometimes I do know what I'm doing. I'm trying. I'm purple. So it's just funny because she does. This is, like, the best thing that she's ever done this season. And she's gets all the flowers for it. She gets all the appreciation all the way up to Sandy. And she still winds up livid by the end of the episode just because she can't deal with Kaylee. Like, this should be a triumphant moment, right?

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. So now they're at the dinner table. Like, Cat is showing Kaylee the decor,

[Asia]

and Sandy even pops in like, whoa. Wow. God, this couldn't be better if it was a tailscape. You did such a great job. Wow, this is amazing. Can someone just take pictures of this and send this to Hannah? And just under it put C. Stupid.

[Captain Sandy]

You got me feeling towel motions better than I've ever felt them before. Okay, you can look that one up. Jen, it's before your time.

[Ben Mandelker]

So then the. We're in the crew cabins where, once again, they are so crammed in there that you just sort of see Joe's shoulder and, like, the bottom of Coop's chin as they're talking to each other and they're complaining. And Asia is, you know, she's talking to Scott about their wedding and about, like, they're gonna do this or that.

[Jen]

And she's like, wedding planning is going very, very well. You know, I've got Scott as my second stew going strong in New Zealand, and he's probably like, oh, for sake. Well, she stopped being the chief stew. No, I will be achieved until the day that I die.

[Ronnie Caram]

And then it's Joy and Kaylee. Joy's trying to teach Kaylee how to run the dinner. She's like, are you clearing? You have to tell me when you're clearing.

[Asia]

She's like, okay, well, how far off the mains are we? 10 minutes. You didn't tell me you're clearing. She's like, should I come back?

[Ronnie Caram]

She's like, of course you should come back.

[Asia]

What else?

[Ronnie Caram]

I was willing to get up there. No, don't come back.

[Kaylee]

Don't come.

[Ben Mandelker]

Okay, I will just put.

[Asia]

I will put plates here and we will wait for plate to walk upstairs.

[Ben Mandelker]

And Joy is meanwhile making these like circles of carrot puree or something that she then fills in with some sort of burre blanc or. It looks really amazing. She does so much high end stuff in that tiny little kitchen. So then there's more cleaning. And Cat is asking Jen how she feels about. About Kaylee. And Jen's like, well, you know, it is what it is. And now her aura has gone from purple to yellow out of nowhere.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. So after dinner, everybody loved the dinner, and they go straight to bed and Asia's telling the stews straight in the pantries and all that stuff.

[Asia]

And then Nathan checks in with Gail, texts in, he's like, I miss ya.

[Ronnie Caram]

And now it's 5:55am and everybody's waking up and Joy gives Coop a croissant.

[Asia]

It is made with love. You like, so he lives part of that to Cat.

[Ronnie Caram]

He gives part of that to Cat. I mean, I would marry any man who brought me croissants. That's really all I need.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. Especially. Yeah. Anytime. Anytime someone shows up with a pastry for me, I'm like, so Sandy's like,

[Captain Sandy]

hey, Nathan, I just want to say I'm putting the pressure on you to have a good day. Okay, so let's bring it in here. You can't spell good day without T, O, W, E, L, s Towels. Okay? So make sure they're out there for everyone. And not tea towels. Those don't count.

[Asia]

Can't spell good day without. Ooh.

[Captain Sandy]

Eh.

[Asia]

Okay, get to it, get to it.

[Ronnie Caram]

So in the pantry, I don't know. People are serving breakfast now. And Kaylee has news for Cat that's gonna make Cat give us this face. She gets to go on the excursion today.

[Kaylee]

Oh, my God.

[Ronnie Caram]

So now they're trying.

[Jen]

I'm such a nerd.

[Ronnie Caram]

That's her nerd. Now they're trying to find items to go to the mess, and Cat has some glasses in her hands and she's

[Asia]

like, should we keep that one, that glass there? Just because we're would down on any of that kind.

[Ronnie Caram]

Just like that one is atrocious.

[Asia]

Kaylee, get it together.

[Ronnie Caram]

God. This is what kind of glass choices

[Asia]

you have someone you're.

[Ronnie Caram]

You're speaking like an Uneducated Chief Stew.

[Ben Mandelker]

So, like, I know what I'm doing. Like, trust me, I made a jungle dinner last night. So now, like, her aura is, like, flickering from yellow to red. She's like, I love my life. I love, love, love, love, love my life. And so then cats, like, keep a positive. She's like, I'm trying to, but it's

[Captain Sandy]

like I'm seeing so many stupid mistakes

[Ben Mandelker]

that should not be happening, especially with Chiefy over there. Jeez, Chefy. I should say, see, look, even I'm making mistakes. So Cat's like, I really do.

[Ronnie Caram]

Like Chiefy. She said Chiefy because she means. Yeah, she's me. She means Kaylee. She's like, kaylee sucks.

[Asia]

Like, she's making all these mistakes so hard to stay positive about it.

[Kaylee]

And Cat's like, oh, I really like John. Like, we have a similar sense of humor and stuff, but, like, she really

[Ronnie Caram]

needs to work on her attitude. I mean, my God, like, she's been getting way too. And Jen's like, yeah, well, most of the Chief Stews I've worked with, they've been in the industry for, like, 10 years. So you know where I was 10 years ago in middle school? I was 12, so.

[Ben Mandelker]

And then she's the same one who's like, why don't I get to be second Stew? While meanwhile, she's saying, like, anyone who's, like, worth their effort in the. In the med has put in 10 years at least to get anywhere.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. She's the same person that is going to one day be second Stew, and then that whole time, she's going to be like, the Chief Stew sucks. I could do better than them. Look at the Chief Stew, Megan. Every mistake, you know, she's gonna. She's gonna try and nag anybody that she's under.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. Over in the toy garage, deckhands are using a crane to lift inflatables. And Coop and Joe, they look at each other and they laugh about something. Like, clearly they're sharing an inside joke about, like, here we go again. Inflating more toys without unfurling. God, I hate the old inflate without unfurl moment.

[Ronnie Caram]

And Nathan's like, I think it's because before, earlier.

[Ben Mandelker]

Oh, because why aren't we using the.

[Ronnie Caram]

Why aren't we using the crane for this stuff? So now they're using it and kind of, like, giving each other a little smile. And Nathan's like, well, have you two something to say to each other? Or if you looked at each other in a certain way, you can Just say it out, Cloud.

[Jen]

It's like, well, I was looking at you smiling. That's all I was doing.

[Ben Mandelker]

It's like, well, let's crack on with our jobs, because it's a bit condescending. So Joe's like, there's no malicious intent.

[Cooper]

I just pull faces all the time.

[Ronnie Caram]

Well, it's annoying. Everyone has a limit to the disrespect that they're going to take. Yeah. You know who else does? Your crew?

[Cooper]

Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

Like, people really don't like being talked, like, to this for no reason, or talked to like this for no reason. What the. This guy?

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

I mean, if you're gonna suck at your job, at least have your crew like you.

[Ben Mandelker]

If I have to mention it again, I'll mention it to Cop. Final warning. Respect, boys. If you wouldn't do it to cop, don't do it to me. Like, you're the one who showed up, like, two hours late to your job yesterday, and now you're gonna bark at them, demanding respect. I mean, that's really what this is about, by the way. Right? Like, he made his own error, but he projected projects like all his shame and guilt or whatever onto everyone else. Sort of be like, well, everyone else is shitty. And I, like, I'm actually. I've got my hands full right now. Look at what I'm doing. So, yes, I made a mistake, but maybe it's because I'm. I'm overburdened with these people. So Joe is like, yeah, but I

[Ronnie Caram]

think he's also feeling. Because, you know, you feel it, a temperature change. Right. If people suddenly aren't liking you as much anymore and kind of giving each other looks and stuff, I think he feels that he's on the outs, but this isn't the way to get back. Like, if you see. Especially if you're the boss, like, if you see people kind of turning on you, figure it out and try and get in there. But don't, like, yell at them, dummy.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, but again, the reason why they're really turning on him. Well, first of all, Joe is a cancer. Second of all, he basically abused his position the day before by showing up late, not even calling in, not even telling anyone. That's like. Like, you know, when you've got a boss who's kind of does a lazy move like that, that's how you lose morale of the people who work under you. Especially if you're sort of like on the bubble, you know, because he's barked a few times. Like, his thing is that when he's frustrated with his own performance. He barks at others, you know, and if he's in a bad mood, he barks others. And I think they've sort of been okay with it. But then, like, the moment that he does like that flagrant abuse of position, then now he's lost them. And it doesn't help that there's also someone in Coop's ear who's encouraging Coop to be lost from Joe.

[Kaylee]

Well, I've never seen this side of night. That's my deck daddy. Now I'm getting in trouble for smiling. Now he's being dick. Dickhead.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Joy gets a text from Luke, and Luke is like, my life is joyless without you.

[Ronnie Caram]

I.

[Ben Mandelker]

And she's. He's so shameless. And we know he's coming back, by the way, because he's in the preview for the second half of the season. You know who's all you know whose life is also joyless? Anyone who's slept in your semen for three days straight.

[Ronnie Caram]

So now Kaylee and Cat. Cat's like, I just wanted to talk to you about J real quick. Like, I love John to die.

[Kaylee]

But, like.

[Ronnie Caram]

So I think she's maybe bottling up her feelings. Today she was blowing up one of those giraffe things, and she started strangling it. And then she bit the tail off with her mouth and then screamed, you're not worthy of being chief Stew, you stupid C word. And then she started it on fire and watched it burn in the sink while kind of laughing under her breath.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, and then she went up to that inflatable flamingo, and she grabbed it by the neck and started choking it and saying, I don't want to be a therapist like you motherfucker. I don't, I don't, I don't. It was really weird.

[Asia]

Kaylee's like, gotcha. Okay, head loud and clear.

[Ronnie Caram]

So then the toy garage. Nathan is lifting an inflatable, and he hurts his back. So Coop has the answer my dad has to any back issue, which is drink some water.

[Ben Mandelker]

He's like, if it's a pulled muscle, you gotta go pound some water.

[Captain Sandy]

So Sandy's like, okay, what's going on? I. I heard the sound of. Of someone who's gonna need a nap soon. So what's going on? And Nathan's like, ah, okay, here, come with me, sweetheart. We're gonna give you some Advil. And by Advil, I mean a hug. All right, does that feel better? A little hug, little Advil hug? No.

[Ronnie Caram]

So he's like, I was Twisting stuff on the swim platform and I hurt my back, like.

[Asia]

Oh, my God. You think pulling it on all that heavy equipment maybe did it? Yes.

[Captain Sandy]

No.

[Ben Mandelker]

It was the sleepy he had for breakfast.

[Ronnie Caram]

That's Columbo.

[Asia]

Yeah, well, I don't have a good back. Anyways, I heard it in Sydney a

[Ronnie Caram]

few months back because we were lifting

[Asia]

a fucking generator out of the engine room. Oh, gosh.

[Ronnie Caram]

I was getting help for a bulging disc.

[Asia]

I was weeks and weeks going to

[Ronnie Caram]

rehab and I think I just hurt myself again. It's absolutely fucked.

[Captain Sandy]

So you probably exacerbated that injury, huh?

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, that's why I told the story. Oh, I thought it was just a little. Just a story, but you probably exacerbated it.

[Captain Sandy]

And if.

[Asia]

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Do you think you maybe hurt your back?

[Captain Sandy]

Do you think that maybe it wouldn't have hurt your back if maybe you've been busy bringing towels down to the guests? I don't know, just thinking out loud.

[Asia]

But look, well, you got to make. You gotta. You got to get fixed before you can work.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's like, no, I'm not. Not working.

[Asia]

I don't give in like that. It's like, Nathan, you have to. Oh, fuck this charter. She is killing me.

[Ronnie Caram]

You know?

[Asia]

Now I don't want to go into this without four deck hands, but now it's a liability not to have Nathan. No, now it's a liability to have Nathan on board if we don't know how bad his back is.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, it's going to be. You know. You know, I. I know that. That song. You can do it, put your back into it, but sometimes.

[Captain Sandy]

Sometimes you can't listen to song so much. So you've never had an MRI or anything?

[Ben Mandelker]

Have you ever had that?

[Captain Sandy]

What about a branzino? Can you eat a branzino in an mri? Can we ask the doctor about that? What if we give an MRI to a branzino? There's a lot of possibilities here.

[Asia]

I just want. I'm going to give you the same. I'm going to give you the opposite advice I give Norma. Spend more time on your back. You know, you're just gonna have to.

[Ronnie Caram]

I'm calling the medic.

[Ben Mandelker]

That's it.

[Asia]

So she's like, hey, medic, it's me, Sandy. Someone hurt themselves lifting something heavy. I'm suspecting they hurt their back.

[Captain Sandy]

We don't really know what happened.

[Ben Mandelker]

His back went out. I wasn't sure if it's because of

[Captain Sandy]

the pancakes he had this breakfast or

[Ben Mandelker]

because he tried to lift a 3 ton item with his bare hands.

[Captain Sandy]

I don't know. Could you come on here and fix it? Thanks so much.

[Ronnie Caram]

So she goes to wake up Asha because now she needs Asia up early, who's been working her ass off. And I have to say, man, Asia, really? Even when there's nobody there except the little camera in the room, you know, she doesn't even do like a fuck. Fuck me, nothing. She's just like, okay. Then gets off and goes to work

[Jen]

as long as there's New York.

[Ronnie Caram]

Even though they make people like that.

[Jen]

That.

[Ronnie Caram]

That's crazy.

[Captain Sandy]

Her.

[Ben Mandelker]

Her work ethic is really tremendous. So Joe then tells us, because Joe's now going to be in charge. And Joe says, I feel like there

[Cooper]

are two ways we can look at this. One, we are. Or two, this is my chance to step into a leader role. And if I can pull this off, maybe Captain Sandy will finally see that I'm bosom material too.

[Ben Mandelker]

Like, okay, relax. So then we have in the pantry, Kaylee's giving Asia a drink.

[Jen]

And it's like, yes, delicious. This drink is wonderful that you made. Kaylee has really been stepping up as a chief stew. She's amazing with the guest and she's really good at take horn. She's my little Gen Z. Babies are growing up and evolving. It's like my own little personal t.

[Ronnie Caram]

I like when Joe's like, I'm gonna

[Asia]

become the boss now. And then he's like, all right, here's what we need. That clean this. Clean this inflate.

[Ronnie Caram]

There's two of you. Cooper knows what he needs to do, but thanks. But thanks.

[Ben Mandelker]

Thanks.

[Ronnie Caram]

So now everybody's going to their Green Coves excursion and they go have fun and games.

[Asia]

It's a lot of wooing.

[Ronnie Caram]

And then the water taxi comes for Nathan, and he's like, I'll text you.

[Asia]

I'll text you to know the results. Like, let me know if it's your back.

[Ronnie Caram]

So he's upset that he has to leave, and he's concerned where that leaves

[Asia]

him and his family for the future.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's. It's not looking too good right now.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, well, too bad. So then guests are back. Joy gives everyone enormous, delicious looking chicken schnitzels. And then Sandy is like.

[Ronnie Caram]

They're like, we want a five star service. Please give us chicken tenders for lunch.

[Asia]

Thank you.

[Ben Mandelker]

Now Sandy's just by herself.

[Captain Sandy]

She's like, okay, we need a deckhand.

[Ben Mandelker]

I'm just putting it out there.

[Captain Sandy]

I'm using the secret. I'm also using some secret.

[Ben Mandelker]

God, it was a Little stinky earlier.

[Captain Sandy]

And then she's like, norma, I'm checking in again. Okay, Norma, I know this. Unlike the guys you try to reach, talk to on Tinder, I'm gonna check in again. And any news on deckhands? Okay. Because my bosun was injured. I don't know what it is. I think it might be his back

[Ben Mandelker]

because he was clutching the back part of his back, but it could have just been his fingers. He was hiding them from me because he didn't want me to see them being injured.

[Captain Sandy]

I'm already down one. I could use a c. A CV asap. Thank you.

[Kaylee]

Bloop.

[Asia]

Oh, hey there, Sandy. Just got your text. Sorry for the late response. I'm on a date.

[Kaylee]

Bloop.

[Captain Sandy]

A date with who?

[Ben Mandelker]

Or what is it just with yourself? And does that count as a date?

[Jen]

Bloop.

[Asia]

Okay, come on.

[Ronnie Caram]

I know you're not really on a date.

[Asia]

Stop this. Oh, he insisted on paying for. Oh, he's coming back to my place. Damn it.

[Ronnie Caram]

I need a deck and Norma, please.

[Captain Sandy]

Wow.

[Ben Mandelker]

This is like that time that Norma fell into the vat of tomatoes.

[Captain Sandy]

She left me on red.

[Ronnie Caram]

So now she is riding all her

[Asia]

Bravado deckhands, and she's like, is anyone available?

[Ben Mandelker]

So, which is, by the way, that's from last season. That's the motor yacht. Bravado was the boat from last season of Below Deck Med.

[Captain Sandy]

Oh.

[Ronnie Caram]

So she's just going down the list of cats.

[Ben Mandelker]

And the. And the deckhands from last season were Max, obviously, Nathan, Joe, and then it was like. It was like those two. Was it those two people who were fired? Christian and that girl? Were they. I think they were the same. They were not on Blow Duck Down Under. Right? Wait, remember those two guys? Those two dumbos?

[Ronnie Caram]

Maybe they were my. That's below deck. I don't know.

[Ben Mandelker]

I'm sorry.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's not gonna work. I can't do it.

[Ben Mandelker]

I apologize.

[Ronnie Caram]

Max on regular. Below deck.

[Ben Mandelker]

He was on below deck mad because he worked under. He worked underneath. He was on last season. He was on last. And we know he's coming back. He's in. It's in the trailer. It says it like, max is back.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. Joy is like, French men are stupid. Something like that in the trailer. So pantry dishes are piling up on Jen, and she's getting really pissed off because, you know, they just cleared lunch. They're bringing it to her, and she's like, oh, my God, I have to do all this shit alone again.

[Asia]

Yes, Jen.

[Ronnie Caram]

You guys are down a person. It's not like they're standing around doing nothing. They literally just cleared the table, which is why you have dishes to do.

[Ben Mandelker]

I know. So. So then Kelly's just telling her, put things here, put things there. And Jen's like, no, no, no. It needs to be a little bit more all hands on deck, okay? Because I'm trying to get very frustrated. I need some help here. And Kelly's like, well, anytime that you're here by yourself, just radio and we'll

[Captain Sandy]

just get someone up here, okay? She's like, oh, yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

Well, I'm trying. Trust me, I am trying. Like, did your hair just turn into brights again? It's like, yes, it ha. That's what happens when my aura turns red.

[Ronnie Caram]

Kat's like, oh, my God. Jen needs to drop the attitude and drop the ego. We're all missing Asia, okay? If we don't work together, we're gonna fail.

[Captain Sandy]

Okay, Kit?

[Ronnie Caram]

But Kaylee doesn't. You know, Kaylee's like, unflappable, really? Because Jen is trying, and she's trying to throw her all the attitude she can. And Kaylee's not breaking at all.

[Asia]

She's like, all right, kid, anytime she's in the pantry, let's just try to both be in there, make sure our faces are there, and help her out. All right, Jen, I'm just gonna get

[Ronnie Caram]

other side of you and start drawing.

[Asia]

How about that?

[Ronnie Caram]

Like, oh, when I marry a rich guy, I'm hiring a professional dishwasher.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. Kaylee doesn't really break, but I. I think Kay. Kaylee's the sort of person who will have one big, monumental break in about 20 years. I think she just takes it all in.

[Jen]

She.

[Ben Mandelker]

Cuz she's like, dedicated to being cheerful. And so she'll have one big one, and then she'll be back to being who she is.

[Ronnie Caram]

She'll be in the back of a police car, like, driving away slowly, and you're. Oh, my God, I just never saw this coming. And she just lowers her lip.

[Asia]

Liability.

[Ben Mandelker]

She'll just have like, a Richard Simmons trajectory rip where, you know, she's gregarious and like a ball of light and wonderful. And then one day, just say, all right, that's it. I'm going away now. Like, goodbye, never to be seen again.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. So now deck team's working, and Joe's checking in on Asia.

[Asia]

He's like, how are you finding the deck, dear?

[Kaylee]

Well, mentally, it's very simple for me because I'm just being told what's to do. How are you feeling With Nathan not

[Asia]

being here, he's like, I feel like Gerard Butler and 300.

[Ben Mandelker]

Okay, well, what is that?

[Captain Sandy]

What?

[Ben Mandelker]

That's the number of brain cells that are dying per second. I listen to Joe. So then back in the pantry, there's more dishes, and Cat's like, are you okay, Jen? She's like, I'm just annoyed because there's, like, a lot of annoying thing. Like, a lot of things annoying me in my brain right now. Like, my mom always says, if you never have anything nice to say and don't say it at all. And then I always say, you, mother. She says, that's a perfect example, and I will be more successful than you mother. Okay, calm down, sweetheart. I'm leaving. I'm going to sail the seas.

[Captain Sandy]

So, you know, I get it.

[Ronnie Caram]

So now Cat's aura meter is. Or Jen's aura meter is blue. So we go to the swim platform, and Joe and Cooper now rolling up inflatables.

[Asia]

I think.

[Ronnie Caram]

I think this toy thing is too

[Ben Mandelker]

much at this point.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's constant. It's constant toys. Sandy loves these toys. They're out all the time.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, it's really annoying. And so Joe's like, we got to

[Cooper]

figure out, you know, because we're always. We always mess it up. Like, we've got to have a more efficient Ford. Like, I can start rolling here.

[Ben Mandelker]

They're, like, trying to, like, you know, you know, like, come up with new systems to deal with these inflatables. And Coop is happy. He's like, see, these are the conversations

[Cooper]

we haven't been having.

[Ben Mandelker]

We're, like, figuring out.

[Cooper]

He's like, well, you know, Nate, he's got his ways, his terrible, terrible ways. But you didn't hear it from me.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah.

[Asia]

And Joe's like, well, I don't want Nate to be seriously injured. Who would want that thing? But we're already starting to find a groove without him, just the three of us. Maybe it's an opportunity for me to upgrade the practices that Nathan isn't running efficiently. Let's see what Joe Bradley's dick looks like.

[Ronnie Caram]

So Joe is immediately going to be like, okay, Nathan's gone. Let's change the system for everything and then do it that way every time. So when Nathan comes back, his head is gonna pop off.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, but is he gonna come back? Nathan calls up sand, and he's like, so I got an injection in my ass, and I don't have the greatest news. Doctor says that I have a bruised disc, and I don't know when I'll be back.

[Captain Sandy]

It's like, okay, well, I've got to make sure you can actually do the job, Nathan. The deck crews are. The deck crew is crumbling. We can't have two people down for the rest of the season. We still have charters on the books. What are we going to do if Nathan has to leave the boat?

[Ronnie Caram]

So, I don't know. Does Nathan leave?

[Ben Mandelker]

I mean, that's serious.

[Ronnie Caram]

Do we know?

[Ben Mandelker]

Maybe he goes into the interior. Maybe he and Asia switch. It's like a body swap movie, except it's the bodies are not swapped. It's just their professions.

[Asia]

Freaky Friday.

[Ronnie Caram]

Well, that's it for today, everybody. Thanks so much for being here. We're going to go over and recap crap. House of the Dragon for winter is crapping now, so join us over there for that and we'll be back throughout the rest of the week with more. Bravo. Good times. Thanks for being here. Bye.

[Kaylee]

Bye.

[Ben Mandelker]

Watch what Crappens would like to thank its premium sponsors. Ain't no thing like Allison King.

[Ronnie Caram]

Our way is the Amber way.

[Ben Mandelker]

It's the Foster and the Furious. It's Amanda Foster. It's always automatic with Ashley Otto. Put your hands together for for Carly Clapp.

[Ronnie Caram]

Get on the right foot with Chrissy Offutt. We never miss her call. It's Diane call Big yay. It's Emily Gaultier.

[Ben Mandelker]
