How are you doing? So well, it is Tuesday. We're talking Below Deck down on the lida. But first, just a gentle reminder that we are going on the road this weekend. We are going to Cincinnati on Friday where we're going to recap Summer house. And then we're going to go to Minneapolis where we'll recap Southern charm.

So that is all the news I have today for everyone. Ronnie, is there anything you want to add to that?

[Ben Mandelker]

No.

[Ronnie Karam]

You think?

[Ben Mandelker]

Great. Thanks. You did great. You're doing great, Kali. Doing great, Kali.

[Ronnie Karam]

So now it's time for Below Deck Down Under. Previously, a lady named India tumbled off of her jet ski. And today we report she's no longer with us. No, she's fine.

[Ben Mandelker]

She died.

[Ronnie Karam]

She's fine. She's fine. She got her. She got her knee on some coral, which is unfortunate, but we saw like a very prolonged sequence of bubbles and flopping around in the Ocean because that GoPro was going around in circles. So, you know, they made it seem like something really terrible had happened to her, but it was. She was. She's fine. She's.

[Ben Mandelker]

She was fine. But, yeah, they did. They're like. You only see splashing, but then every time the camera went underwater, they were in, like, two feet of water.

[Ronnie Karam]

I was like, okay, I know, I.

[Ben Mandelker]

Know we need some drama on this show, but come on now. It's two feet still, though, you know, if you're scared of water. I mean, if you're scared of water, don't get on a jet ski, obvi. But, you know, you're on a boat. I get it. It. You know, she was scared. The real villain here is Von. But, you know, I don't hate Von still. I feel like the show's telling me they're giving me all of the signs that I should hate Von, but I don't. Why.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah, I'm. I'm just in a state of dislike with him. I think that was the same thing I said last week. I don't hate him, but I. I am disliking him. You know, he. Yeah, yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

Do you think he has beefcakes privilege? I think that I like him because he's a go go boy in a gay bar, and I don't know. I feel motherly towards those boys. I don't think I've ever gotten a boner from a stripper. Even when I was younger, I was always like, oh, you know, here's. Here's a number for, I don't know, community college. Like, I want to help them. I'm like, do you need it? It's cold out here. You want my jacket? You know? Yeah, well, anything other than a protein shake today? Come here. Have some of these French fries.

[Ronnie Karam]

So Johnny. Johnny is like, india, I'll hold you. Do you feel safe now? I'll hold you. And I was like, whoo. Johnny. Johnny. I feel like every episode, I think Johnny's getting more and more attractive. Although at the. By the end of this episode, I was like. And he went back down to being Johnny again. But, like, he was on a great streak for me of getting hotter and hotter until he. Until he got drunk. But. So when he was like, do you. Do you want I hold you? Do you want me. Do you feel safe now? I was like, am I getting the vapors from Johnny in this ocean right now?

[Ben Mandelker]

No. You want me to feel safe? Hold my groceries. Okay. Don't hold me. Hold my car battery as you change it. You know what I mean?

[Ronnie Karam]

Yes.

[Ben Mandelker]

Do something.

[Ronnie Karam]

And this is when we see them standing in. They're literally standing in the water. It's like up to their hips.

[Ben Mandelker]

It's like, you'll be okay in this two feet of water. Let me hold you. And he's like, I'm gonna. He's like, grab the handle. I'm push you up. I'm slowly. She's like, oh, my God, I'm bleeding. I'm dying. I've been cut by a coral. Well, think about how the coral feels. It's like, how much of these fucking people already put me through. And now I have somebody kicking me. Jesus, why don't you just piss on me while you're here?

[Ronnie Karam]

Maybe it was just coral from the real world who just had, like, a little knife down there. She's like, remember me?

[Ben Mandelker]

Why aren't I ever called for the challenge?

[Ronnie Karam]

You know, I would. That would be. Actually, my concern would be cutting myself on coral, because I know you could get. What's it called, coral burn or coral rash or something like that, where when you. You cut yourself on coral and it, like, gets infected and it burns intensely. And I remember my friend told me that before I first went scuba. Not scuba diving, snorkeling. And I was deathly afraid of nicking my leg or anything on coral. So I was. I wasn't afraid of sharks. I was afraid of coral the entire time. And I was like. I was. I was very, very. I was very concerned because you can learn coral.

[Ben Mandelker]

And then guess what? Sharks like blood, you know, then they smell it in the water, then they come eat you. It's like how strippers smell. French fries on me. And they come all around, say, strippers.

[Ronnie Karam]

Who want a nice warm coat. And they're like, ronnie will give me a coat.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. So Johnny's like, this is fucking disaster. Everyone is safe. But obviously jet skis have been leaking. We should definitely check it before giving it to guests. Yeah. And he's like, the deck team fucked up. Yeah, Vyonde fucked that one up big time.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah, he did. So I'm only giving him $5, India. Yeah. Not. He's not going to get a round of tips. A large round of tips. So India is basically asking if Von is going to go back and get Johnny, who has been left in the ocean. Imagine if he's like, no, we're just going to leave him there. That's it. He's been fired, and he's gonna have to find his own way home. Of course they're gonna go back and.

[Ben Mandelker]

Get left out in the middle of the ocean. Isn't he?

[Ronnie Karam]

That's kind of his vibe. So then, of course, Von tells He, like, what's his face, Captain Jason's like, right there. So Von's like, oh, Johnny capsized. Which is kind of like. You could also say, you like. He really just. He really threw Johnny under the bus pretty. Pretty swiftly on that one.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, he threw him under the waverunner. And he continues to try to through this whole time, which is really funny. And I love that Jason doesn't buy it. He's like, you think you're the first Go, Go Boy to work on this boat? Seriously, Squat right now. He's like, giving him the full prison exam. So he's like, all right, just go get him. So they send him and Harry. Harry just kind of looks over. He looks over and beyond, and he's like, well, the jet skis overturned. Not good. Not good. So then Adair's like, oh, you didn't do bad at all. Just a little scrape. Yeah, I don't even think you'll need a band aid or anything, which. You know what? Someone who's been injured does not want to hear that. I want to hear, like, oh, my God, you came through this. Your leg is almost falling off. We're gonna save you. Is there anybody you want to call? Do you have FaceTime? Let's get your mother on the phone. It's all gonna be okay. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Come back to us.

[Ronnie Karam]

Come back.

[Ben Mandelker]

I don't want to hear, like, this is nothing. Why are you crying?

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah, exactly. Oh, somehow this. You making all those noises set my Siri off. I don't know how or why, but, like, my phone just started glowing and.

[Ben Mandelker]

Was like, imagine how mine feels.

[Ronnie Karam]

Could I help with a band aid?

[Ben Mandelker]

The first Siri who's ever called the police for herself.

[Ronnie Karam]

She was like, please get me out of this house. It is really cute how they are, like, how they treat India going forward, because, I mean, realistically speaking, she went out on a jet ski, she fell into the ocean. She nicked her. She. She got, like, a small cut. She came back, like, overall, it was scary for a moment, but no big deal. But then they spend the rest of the episode being like, we've got to save this charter. You know, we've got to really put all the stops at dinner tonight. We got to make sure everything's okay. And I was like, that's how I want to be treated Next time I get a very minor injury. If I have a hang, I want everyone on the boat to be like, he's got a hangnail. We've got to step it up, everyone, to make sure this charter does not go into the shitter because he's got a hangnail.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, I want them to make a big deal out of it, not just be like, you're okay, you know, dare you suck at this. So then back to vyondrama. He's like, I think it's the Jet Ski. I think there's a leak in it. Yeah, we know they told you many, multiple times. And Johnny's like, definitely leak. And he's like, well, can we just connect it to this and tow it in then? And he's like, we can try. And he's like, quick, a big wave is coming. You're in two feet. Two feet of water. Calm down. You drag it back. Messer upper.

[Ronnie Karam]

So Jason is, like, all concerned. He just wants to make sure India's okay. And she's like, yeah, you know, I was a little scared, but Johnny was in control. And he's like, okay, good to hear. So then Adair's talking to Harry, and she's like, well, you know what? Remember when we tried to lift it? And I was like, maybe it's full of water. And it was. That sounds harsh, but it really was like, you know what? Like, I already knew. I already knew it was leaking. Harry's like, all right, well, that's not. That's lovely. So the Jet Ski comes back. They bring the Jet Ski back, and the Jet Ski is kind of like, help. And it's like, essentially it's about to drown into the ocean. It's like doing Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic at the end. Yeah, it's about to let go of the raft.

[Ben Mandelker]

It's like, save yourself. You're richer than me.

[Ronnie Karam]

So the whole thing is that it's Leonardo DiCaprio.

[Ben Mandelker]

There will always be a 23 year old for me, even in the afterlife.

[Ronnie Karam]

Hey, I'm kind of seeing Ariel, so I'll catch you next time.

[Ben Mandelker]

So, yeah, it's almost. It's almost sinking down. It's like, oh, my God, the Jet Ski. What are we gonna do? We can't get it up with this lift because the lift isn't strong enough for the guest. We're gonna have to empty out the Jet Ski that's somehow filled with water.

[Ronnie Karam]

Jason's like, we need a plan B. And I was like, damn, that Jet Ski had a fun time last night. So then Johnny must have held it. I would not mind that. So Jason's like, He's like, well, we need to drain the water first. Just give me the line. Okay, we gotta do it. Hurry up. Call the engineers. Call Fritz and Bits. We'll get them down here because we need to get this thing on so they like, they somehow these guys pulled this heavy ass jet ski onto one of those little floaty platforms.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. Fucking Fritz and Bits. They're out there like, what do you need? What you need? We were taking up. They're like, fritz and Bits, you have to do something today. Okay, now what's the time?

[Ronnie Karam]

We hold up Jet Ski. So Fritz is like, I have one.

[Ben Mandelker]

Question about this jet Ski. When did Netflix start showing commercials? Bits, supposed to be concentrating on the boat.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah, Come on, hurry up, guys. Like, no, back when we used to work for Putin boats, we just let them sink. It's like, well, we don't work for beaten anymore. This is a big job.

[Ben Mandelker]

We need to call Spider. It's Bit Spider. Come on. Can we all work together here? It's going down. Water spot. Get. Get it.

[Ronnie Karam]

All right. Fritz and Bits are doing their little gag thing again. It's no time for laughter. There's a jet ski that's about to die. It's gonna be a total loss.

[Ben Mandelker]

I can't have my plug for the Captain's lounge kimono line messed up by this Jet Ski.

[Ronnie Karam]

All right, so. So then Lara's saying how I pride myself on professionalism and giving the guests the best experience. It's just a big show right now. So then they're still working on getting this, this thing up and it's just crazy and it's scary. And then Johnny goes to his cabin to like shower because he's like exhausted because he basically just spent like an hour pushing heavy machinery through the ocean. So. Wow, that's a workout. Meanwhile though, Vyond's like having the time of his life. He's taking photos and just having a fun time. Yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

And he's like, fucking hell, girl. I've never worked on anything like that in my life in my nine years yachting. Harry, take a photo of me taking a picture. Like, he's a hero of the day. Who? He's the one who sent out that leaky ass thing and then do the work to bring it back in. And poor Johnny's upstairs. Who's taking his picture? Nobody.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah, no one is. He's like, we're going to laugh about this moment for years to come. It's like, yeah, what when you went out on a jet ski and barely had to lift a Finger. While Johnny is the one who flopped over into the water and then had to push this thing and haul it up onto a floaty.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, you're gonna have a great story for the unemployment line, Vyon.

[Ronnie Karam]

So then Lara's talking to India and gives her a Pinot Grigio as consolation. Which, by the way, I would nick my knee more often if it meant that I would just get a Pinot Grigio right in front of me. And then it was. That was very like. That was very Sex in the city of me to say, right? Well, if I knew I'd get a free Pinot Grigio, I'd nick my knee every single day.

[Ben Mandelker]

I mean, if Pinot Grigio is what you get after like some kind of trauma, I mean, my family must be just constant state of recovery.

[Ronnie Karam]

You're like, better check all the. Check all the kneecaps of your family members for cuts.

[Ben Mandelker]

How many corals have scraped you people? Jesus Christ.

[Ronnie Karam]

Well, you know what? I love Pinot Grigio. So Tsarina, meanwhile, is me or did.

[Ben Mandelker]

I scrape the coral? Okay? So insane about it.

[Ronnie Karam]

You know what? I'm sorry that you're dying in the ocean, but maybe next time try to live on the land, okay? Who lives in the ocean? Sorry. I'm sorry. You deserve to get bleached.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Serena is checked in on. She's checking in on Viana, who's my favorite man in the whole wide world. Trust me, I know. I know that you're upset. Give me a hug. Come to mama. Your head right in, boobies. That small boy.

[Ronnie Karam]

I'm going to make you a soup that you eat with a fork. So then Marina's like. Marina's talk to him and says like, oh, so you guys are good outside. What's the deal? You seem stressed. He's like, yeah, we're good. He's giving her like the cold shoulder now. Cuz he's afraid that she's falling in love with him.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. And he's pint sized and highly prized. And Serena, as he walks away, she's like, I love you. I love you. Oh my God, lady, you're. You're making me sad. Serena. Jesus. So Laura's saying, oh, we have to make this up to the charter guest. So basically tonight we're going all out. I was thinking tape and streamers.

[Ronnie Karam]

I've got one I can one up that for you. How about we get the candles out? Big candles. That's Jason's. That's his. That's literally what he says. We are Gonna go all out. We're gonna put out big candles tomorrow. It's like, that's it. That'll do it.

[Ben Mandelker]

What about a red tablecloth? We could put a red tablecloth. It could be draped on things and it's like, wow. Yes. Welcome to the Captain's lounge. What happens in the lounge stays in the lounge. Kimono line. Kimono line, incoming.

[Ronnie Karam]

Well, the guests have requested a bar hop, but there's not much bar hopping seen here at the Seychelles. So we're gonna go set up the captain' lounge. You know, guess that that's what the guests are going to get. Especially when one of the guests was nearly killed on the jet ski today. The least I can do is show my furry chest in a kimono. Available now on kimono.captain.net why are we.

[Ben Mandelker]

Acting like they're doing the guests a favor? The guests asked to go on a bar crawl and instead you're making them drink in the living room. Yeah, I know them to a bar.

[Ronnie Karam]

Just let them go to at least a bar. Like.

[Ben Mandelker]

And not only that, oh, I'm sorry, you're taking them to the living room and you're making them like, plug your new kimono line. Get the fuck out of here. I'd be pissed.

[Ronnie Karam]

And they have to pretend like they enjoy seeing their captain, like, in a state of undress. I think it's awkward. So meanwhile, then we, this is all this discussion's happening. While Marina, for some reason that we never quite understand, know, or can appreciate, Marina has decided to unfold a big ass table in the laundry room. And she's like rearranging it. And so we keep cutting to her and she's like, this table is getting bigger and bigger and then she's like holding it above and it's like floating and it's cracking, crashing into things. And it was very stressful. And I still don't really know why she was doing that.

[Ben Mandelker]

Well, I thought she was just trying to move it out of the laundry room, but it was this huge table that she wasn't folding to move. I didn't really understand what was happening.

[Ronnie Karam]

It's like, I didn't, I didn't understand any of it. I was like, this is just a form that her, I think her, this is the form that her anxiety takes. She's like, no, Vienne's not talking to me, so must unfold tables to distract me myself.

For a free 30 day trial at audible.com wondery that's audible.com wondery okay, let's get to the part now that we've all been waiting for. The part where Vihan apologizes to Johnny for putting him in a dangerous situation by not listening to everybody and keeping that Waverunner off the ocean. Just kidding. So Johnny comes in and Vion's like, okay boys, give us debrief. Because Jet Ski does not just capsize. I'm not on the Jet Ski. You're. You're there. What happened? What happened? You sent out a leaking Jet Ski, bro.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah, we all watched it, we saw it, and Johnny's like, well, the way of what overturned me? I was right behind her. The moment we get close to the shore, as we turn, she leaves the gas, and then immediately I feel sinking. So Vian's like, so all these things that happened, we learn from it. So you make mistakes, and you learn from the mistakes that you have made because they are fully all your mistakes.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, I mean, I should have assessed the situation, but you need to put it in the water. And if water's coming in. And Johnny's like, yeah, remember when they put it in the water and then it came out and it had water coming out? And they said, no, that means there's a leak and there's water coming out. And he said, that's normal. Don't act like they didn't do this gas lighter.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah, exactly. And Johnny's like, well, I would have done it differently, but I'm not the ones making decisions, and I'm a good soldier. So then meanwhile, this ain't the war. Yeah, it's jet skis. So Laura's asking Zarina what's for dinner? And she's. And Zarina's like, well, it's gonna be local cuisine. They said on the thing they wanted chicken car is. So we're gonna do a traditional one with lots of lovely, fun flavors. I'm gonna have a little more strategy. I'm gonna do the local cuisine. Simple, beautiful forks only. Hopefully no dishes come back this time around.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Jason von V. On, do you want to come to the bridge? All right, so what happened? And Jason. I love. Jason's just kind of bored with it off face. He's like, all right, mate. What happened? He's like, I saw everything. And he goes, so you saw it happen? He's like, yeah, I had to debrief with Johnny. And he was driving the. Not Johnny. As they were turning, she took her hand off the throttle, and then the whole thing capsized. And Jason's like, I'm barely awake in this scene, mate, but that sounds fishy to me.

[Ronnie Karam]

So, yeah, Van leaves out the part that, like, he started to feel. Like he started to feel the boat was sinking, AKA there was water that was flooding in. Vyon leaves that part out. He just makes it seem like Johnny was letting the guest drive, and that was irresponsible. Right, Right.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Vion's like, well, and his eyes are wide because he knows he's caught. He's like, well, this morning, we lift it up, and I see that the whole thing is full of water. And I drank it out, and I put it in the water. And he's like, all right, well, let's not try to cover it up, you know? And that's the. That's the low. That's the slogan of my kimono line. You know, don't really.

[Ronnie Karam]

Let's open the kimono on this discussion. So it's like, accountability. Don't put the jet Ski in the water if you think there's a lake in it. Okay? Learn from it. And now I know our boundaries for next time. I'm like, boundaries. There's no boundary here. Just don't put expensive ass equipment that's leaking in the ocean. So if you don't feel like it's safe, we can fix it or we don't do it. That's your job. And if there's a problem with the jet Ski, let's get on top of it and fix it. Enough said. That's it. Boundaries. Learn for next time.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, do like we do on this boat. We do not want leaky crew mates on this boat. All right? That spreads. Spreads or boundaries?

[Ronnie Karam]

It's. It's like us. It's like I say, anytime anyone comes into the captain's lounge, if you don't feel it's safe, don't do it.

[Ben Mandelker]

So he's like, yeah, this could have been a massive mistake. Could have had an injury. Could I had a loss, could I had a death vion. Made a poor judgment call, and I know it's not going to happen again. I shall reward him by making somebody else wear the helmet of stupidity tonight. Yeah, well, otherwise, he better watch out. He better watch out. Oh, by the way, someone wrote us a message and said they heard on another podcast that the sous chef did find he did leave for another job, but it didn't last long. So it's not to know that that little probably got fired from that job.

[Ronnie Karam]

I want more details.

[Ben Mandelker]

Me too. Someone send them to us.

[Ronnie Karam]

What happened? Yeah, let's give us all the deets. So then Zarina is sleepy. So Marina offers her. Offers her a matcha. And she's like, I'm intolerant of caffeine. And by caffeine mean you, so I can't have coffee or be around you, Marina. And she's like, well, I can see if there's green juice. And she's. Zarina's just, like, angry. Doesn't even want to have, like, a green juice. Doesn't want anything to do with Marina, basically.

[Ben Mandelker]

So, yeah, she looks at her and continues to drink the Pine Sol or whatever she's drinking. I'm not sure what it is, but it looks scary. And so Marina's like, okay, awkward, awkward. Now it's second day of charter and Lara has so much to do. She's like, oh, and by the way, Vyon, I've heard a rumor that someone's a world class stripper. Stripper. So in the captain's lounge, you're going to strip.

[Ronnie Karam]

Laura is gonna have these guys come out shirtless every single episode. If she can have it. She's. Laura's like, I'm perfectly happy being alone. I just want to live in my country home with my dogs. I'm totally fine. I'm not horny at all. I'm definitely not horny. Okay, gentlemen, take your shirts off again. Thank you so much.

[Ben Mandelker]

And until I go into self imposed quarantine, I'm gonna see as much penis as I can. So let's get this rolling, shall we?

[Ronnie Karam]

Thank you. So. So, yeah, she's basically asking Vian to be a stripper in the captain's lounge. I support it. And then Marina is done with laundry. So Harry was like, so Harry and beyond start talking about Marina. And Vian's like, I've got a difficult situation on my hands. My kiss is arena. I mean, that was just fun. And I didn't mean for someone to fall in love with me. And maybe I shouldn't have kissed Marina. Oh, no. Which is. This is the san, you know, boy thing of like, I was just having fun, but she's taking it so seriously. She's crazy.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. It's like, hopefully there's not someone named Tina lined up, because anyone with that kind of rhyme, they love me. They just love me, man.

[Ronnie Karam]

And Harry's like, so tell us about it.

[Ben Mandelker]

So what are you gonna do now? And he's like, I don't know. You know, actually, I'm so confused. I haven't even given attention to anyone except for gone on a date with that girl and, you know, flirted with Serena every five minutes, you know, but if anything, I've given attention to Adair. I mean, girls, when you kiss them, they might feel a little bit a certain way. You know what I mean? And Harry's like, that's what happens when you're so good looking.

[Ronnie Karam]

And I like that when he says, if anyone. The only one I've given attention to for real has been Adair. And they show a clip of him saying like, hey, I'm coming. He's like, hey, y'all.

[Ben Mandelker]

He's like, trying to flirt with her and she just gives him a look like, ew.

[Ronnie Karam]

So Lara is working on the party and everything, and Zarina is working on dinner. And Zarina's like, so you guys gonna take it a bit, you know, a bit easy now? Like CAS cash now you about to go to the next basis and. Cause she's talking to Bri and Brianna and she's. Brianna's like, I don't know. I mean, I feel like I'm not one to initiate things, you know, but like, you know, I'm just like waiting. Cause she's essentially waiting for Harry to make some moves on her more than just like a random kiss here or there. But then Harry walks by and overhears thing and he's like, what's going on over here?

[Ben Mandelker]

They're cracking up. Like, oh my God, the boy heard us talking about him. She's like, we're just eating strawberry colored chocolate. Like, o, I'm not listening cried. I can't hear a single word. So weird. And also, why does this girl need to have a discussion about every single thing? I think he's clear about liking you and making out with you every time he sees you. She's like, I'm just getting, getting such mixed signals from Harry. It's just so crazy. Like, what, what part of waking up every morning staring into your eyes and kissing you and saying, I hope we can do this forever don't you. Don't you understand he loves you? But I think she just wants more spice in the relationship.

[Ronnie Karam]

And I think she wants more like flirtation maybe. Like they don't have to be making out all the time, but like something more flirty than Harry just coming by being like, do you guys want to see me juggle?

[Ben Mandelker]

So thought, all right, I've got a string. It's tied in a circle. I'm gonna put it in my fingers and make different shapes and you're gonna put your hand through and then I'm gonna magically make the string back into a circle. Anybody down? She's like, oh, God.

[Ronnie Karam]

So Lara is asking beyond for some help with the dinner service tonight. And the decies are changing into strippers and the, the guests are all sitting down for dinner. And so now we're gonna finally get our chicken curry bonanza and some, by the way, beautiful looking fish. I thought those, those pieces of fish that went up to the table, those filets or whatever they were, looked gorgeous.

[Ben Mandelker]

And I, I'm sorry, but we're not at the fillets yet right now.

[Ronnie Karam]

I know. I just felt like I was gonna forget it if I waited too long. I wanted to give the fish credit.

[Ben Mandelker]

Like, I will get this filet comment. And no matter when it is like, the Southern hospitality recap, you're like, oh, yeah, by the way, just wanted to say those fillets.

[Ronnie Karam]

They did look good.

[Ben Mandelker]

Those were nice, big fillets. They weren't skimping on the fillets.

[Ronnie Karam]

They were huge. So Marina's cleaning down the cabins, and she's like, oh, this is too much for me to do right now. Too much because the cabins are a mess. Who are these people that do this every single episode? When I go to a hotel, like, my clothing is fairly contained, you know? Like, I don't. I'm not someone who just, like, lets it sprawl everywhere. Or if I do, it's kind of like I've set it out because I'm gonna wear it later. But, like, who are these people that just, like, throw their clothing all across their room?

[Ben Mandelker]

It's starting to feel malicious. I have to say, I would agree with. Normally I'm like, well, you know, you're staying in a hotel room if it's dirty. That's your job, to clean it. But these ladies. Ladies are, like, overly rude about. It's almost like they're taking everything out of their suitcase and throwing it to different parts of the room on purpose. Like, there's hanging off lamps. There's like, how do you. How do you do this? What do you do?

[Ronnie Karam]

And, like, sand everywhere. And, like, they're such nice ladies, too. Like, it's. It's not like they are. They're like, so. They're, like, really, really nice. And so. But you just sort of feel like they're, like, really nice. And they get in their room and they're. They, like, let out all the. They're like, whatever complaints I have about this charter, I'm going to express it by throwing five bathing suits across the room. Yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

Super weird.

[Ronnie Karam]

But it's not just this. It's. All these charters are like this. I just don't understand it.

[Ben Mandelker]

No, this one's particularly bad for some. For whatever reason, whenever they show the room, it's like, jesus, what are you guys doing in this room? It's like a poltergeist went in there, went crazy, got mad about it.

[Ronnie Karam]

I know.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Marina. And also Marina is getting completely ignored by her man. So she's in a really bad mood. So she's like, oh, it's just too much. I need help with the goblins. So they're sending Adair. And Marina just keeps repeating as she sees the dirty room she's like, I love my job. I love my job. So she tells Adair what to do. And Adair goes, heard. Adair sounds like some kind of a bird. Just, just, you know, when birds aren't really calling, they're just like, I'm here. She's just like.

[Ronnie Karam]

I. Congratulations. You just set me off on a tangent because I just read this crazy article in the New York Times about these two women who lived next door to each other in New York City. And they were friends, but then one of them got a parrot. And the parrot, she already had two little parrots. And then she got like a cockatoo or something like that, or a cockatiel. And the cockat every day would go like this. And then the noise of the cockatiel would activate the parrots. So the parrots would be like. So it's all like. And it was every day and it was all day long and it was so loud that the woman, the woman who didn't have the parrots was recording it. And they put the recording on the New York Times. So I listened to it. That's how I know exactly how it sounded like. And it became a legal battle that lasted 15 years that they went on each other. It was crazy.

[Ben Mandelker]

I can see that happening because, you know, when I moved into the. When I moved back to la, I get this house, I'm so excited. I put all this remodeling and, you know, it's like months and months of construction and jackhammering and this and that. So I finally get up to the house and I'm in there the first night and it's just silence and I can hear the birds, you know, like, tweet, tweet, tweet. I can hear like nature. I'm like, this is fucking amazing. I can't believe that this is happening in la. And then I just heard. I was like, what the. So I thought it was an aberration, you know, I didn't worry about it. So I just, you know, relax again. And then I hear it and I look and the neighbors have a parrot and it's sitting right. And they have two and they're sitting right in the kitchen window. And that never stopped. Thank God they moved because I was to the point, I was like, how do I kill those?

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah, this article was crazy because basically the woman who did, the non parent woman, she. She ran a. She worked from home. She was a person. And so she couldn't have phone calls because the par. The. The birds were so loud. And then everyone Started and. But then the girl who had the parrots, she was like, they're my service animals. I have anxiety. And the parrots, me, even though the parrots all day long, like, I can.

[Ben Mandelker]

Only be calm by causing the rest of the world anxiety. Go yourself with your anxiety, if that's what it is. Birds down your throat. We'll see how anxious you are then.

[Ronnie Karam]

And then the co op forced her out. But then she wound up getting like. It was like some bureau. It wasn't. It was like some bureau that was like tenants rights or whatever took her case or like, it became a thing, like, because she was kicked out and she had a service animal. Then the whole thing got escalated to like a million dollar controversy. And. And the woman who did not have the parrots, her life is, like, ruined because, you know, has anxiety about it. And she's. She stopped having friends because she was, like, mortified of. I don't know, it was. It was a fascinating article. And the one who has the birds.

[Ben Mandelker]

So she ended up getting. She ended up getting anxiety herself. And then the only call, the only cure was birds. So she had to get parrots herself. And then it was just like a cycle that never stopped. And she never. I mean, for me, I was just like, birds, learn some language. Like, have you heard of evolution? Like, parrot something, you know, like, even if the birds were like, polly wanna cracker like you, John, or whatever the birds hear, you know, do that. But just a pair, two parrots sitting next door just going. I mean, it was just. It wasn't okay. And you see how I am. I only dealt with this for, like, a couple of months. If I was that girl, there would have been some. At the very least, some BB Gun action.

[Ronnie Karam]

Oh, yeah, for sure. And like, at first I thought, okay. Oh, wow. So now, like 15 years later, oh, she has anxiety or whatever. But then they show a picture of her. You see a picture of her when she's younger, when she was, like, friends with the person. And then you see her when she's older. You're like, oh, yeah, this is a woman who's been through some shit. She's been through Paratroma.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. They have a whole show on one of the murder networks. You know the networks that are, like, all dedicated to murder shows and they come up with, like, random things for murder. They're like ladies who knit getting murdered. And that's like the whole show, every episode is like, a lady who knits who got murdered. But this one is about your neighbors going crazy. It's like Neighbor fights. And then it escalates to the point where a neighbor kills their neighbor, and they're all terror. And I'm sure that there's, like, a parrot story in there. There has to be a parrot story story.

[Ronnie Karam]

Oh, I'm sure parrots must have led to so many murders. Now, I like the wild Paris that fly around la. I mean, they squawk, they make so much noise, but they're so cute flying around. But that's because they fly and then they go somewhere else. But, like, if. If there was one directly next door or like, across the street in the. In the window, I would have literally. I would have lost my mind as well. I get it. I get it.

[Ben Mandelker]

All right, so back to this. Marina's miserable, which somehow led to this. So then Serena sends up her fish, which are fabulous, fabulous filets.

[Ronnie Karam]

Fabulous, fabulous sea bass approved. We give it five out of five stars. Yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

And it has a passion fruit sauce, and they love it. And then they're like, but do I have to eat this with a spoon? This is weird.

[Ronnie Karam]

Do you have it? And then they're like, guys, Tina's a colonel. You act like you were trained at West Point. I will say that. And Tina's like, well, I think I was conceived at West Point. And then more. The sea bass is continuing to arrive, and the passion fruit sauce is continuing to dazzle the guests. They love the passion fruit sauce, and everyone's happy. And then Adair is like, well, all the beds are turned down, and I'm not doing the bathroom, so she can do the bathrooms herself. So she basically decides I'm gonna have dinner, and she walks in.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. So weird. And so Marina's like, are you there? She's radoing her dare you there? And she's like, what's up? And she's like, I mean, are you still helping. Is. Hey, Lara. Is she still helping me with the cabins? And she's like, she should be. And so there's just, like, on my way. So she's like, where? What happened to you? She goes, what do you mean? She goes, well, you just did the bed and left. And she's like, oh. I mean, I went to the rooms and turned down the beds, and then I've been running plates. I mean, what do you want from me? I'm just one sun hat.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah. So dar's like, yeah, I really don't know what they do in the rooms. I mean, I'm being pulled in so many different directions. Always like this boom, boom, boom. This that I'm Like a pinball around this.

[Ben Mandelker]

Both.

[Ronnie Karam]

But, I mean, I would. I wouldn't say I'm a fan of cleaning someone's toilet. I'm not doing that. I'm like, so basically you admitted you did as much as you wanted to do and then you went off and ate food. Yeah, yeah, because we saw. We saw her eating food. She was not running plates.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, she's running plates to her mouth. So now the boys are changing into stripper outfits. And we get Vihan's story. He's like, I do enjoy performing. I was a shirtless waiter at Beefcakes. It's a K bar, usually around 9:00. And then we get the visual of the clock turning to nine for some reason. He's like, we take off our shirt and we do body shots on us right here. Shot glass from chest to penis.

[Ronnie Karam]

Human. I feel like they don't do shock. I feel like they don't do shots off their chest. And in WeHo, I feel like they just come around selling shots. But you don't actually get to do body shots off their chest, right?

[Ben Mandelker]

Oh, yeah, you really. You just have to be careful what bar you're at because, you know, some of those bars, like, some of them, you just don't want. You don't want a shot. Like, you wouldn't ask for that at, like, fubar. Not that that's around anymore, but back in the day, no one wants a shot from a place that smells like bleach and socks.

[Ronnie Karam]

You will need a shot afterwards and not the one that goes down your throat.

[Ben Mandelker]

They offer shots on the way in.

[Ronnie Karam]

So Tsarina wants people to come bring her cake up. She's made a coconut cake, which looks nice. And then Lara's asking Marina how everything's going. And Marina's like, terrible, just terrible. Rooms are terrible. Sand is terrible. Adair is terrible. Adair dropped me, like, midway when I asked her, and, like, can you. Can you help me with things? And she's like, no, I'll only do bad. I can only do bad. That's all. And Laura's like, oh, babe, I'm sorry. I have very little sympathy for you because, you know, you were supposed to be doing a job anyway, but okay, fine. But either way, Laura's mad.

[Ben Mandelker]

Ever had a junior crew member pick and choose what jobs they want to do? Like, this is your job. You do what your superior tells you to do and that's it. Now I can't wait to not say anything to her about it.

[Ronnie Karam]

I know, right?

[Ben Mandelker]

Lara's the biggest like, talker into the camera to us. But she's not, she doesn't really do anything with everybody else. She's just like, eh, I'll tell Jason about it.

[Ronnie Karam]

So Jason, speaking of which, comes out in his kimono at the Captain's Lounge and. Or he's gonna, they're gonna go set that up and everything. And Lara tells the guests, everyone, I've just gotten a phone call from Captain and they've given you exclusive access to the Captain's Lounge. Would you like to go? Would you like to go to it? And they're like. So they go in there and they're like, he's there in his kimono and he's all stretched out and they're like, whoa. And it's funny and everyone's like laughing and stuff.

[Ben Mandelker]

But I'm with you on this. I don't need that. You know what I mean?

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

Like if I walked in and the captain was like, in a kimono. That's a tiny little kimono too, you know? Yeah, he. It was like a white lotus kimono where you're waiting for his wiener to just pop out. Like that dude from like I notice, like, keep that inside, you know, like, yeah, maybe if it's boner time. He's a cute guy. It's not like he's job by the hut or anything. He's cute, but I don't know. It's like maybe if it's boner time, but not just. Not right now. I don't know. Yeah, it's weird timing to just walk in and see him just laying there in his kimono.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah, I agree. So then beyond comes out and does his little strip tease and everything. And Marina's like, oh, I want to kiss this freaking gorgeous man. Throw him on the wall. Oh, let's kiss a little bit and go back to work. We had such a good date, but then he disappeared. What's the deal? Men commercials.

[Ben Mandelker]

[Ronnie Karam]

You literally know exactly who's going to stop by. It's can only be people from the boat.

[Ben Mandelker]

I'm going to stop by with a pair of pajama pants for you.

[Ronnie Karam]

Please stop by with some Haagen Dazs too while you're at it. By the way, the captain's lounge is just some pints of Haagen Dazs and Jenny's ice cream.

[Ben Mandelker]

I'd be like, wear whatever you want.

[Ronnie Karam]

Kimono. Kimono. No kimono sweats. Wear whatever. Just get me that ice cream.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. So Marina is in love. She's like, I want to kiss this gorgeous man. Throw him on the wall. We kiss, we go back to work. Such a good date. But then he disappeared. What's the deal? What's the deal with that? Beefcakes are supposed to be trustworthy. And so they're all going on about the Captain's lounge and stuff and the strip dance. What's his buns did? I didn't mind that. So what is it?

[Ronnie Karam]

No, why didn't we? Yeah, I didn't mind that. Did not mind that at all. It was nice visual. So now everyone, the guests go to bed and Adair is talking to. She's like, wow. I felt like, hey, Leon, I felt like I was watching the intro to a porno with you. Okay, good night. I'm going to bed before my hair head explodes. Hope your head doesn't explode. He's like, you don't even understand the depth of what that means for me right now. All right, good night. Good night.

[Ben Mandelker]

He's like, so he's sitting there now. She leaves and he's just sitting there now with what's her buns, Marina. And she's looking at her phone and he's just looking at his watch. He's like, okay, well, gotta go then. Good night. She's like, bye. So then Harry checks in with Bri and we have a really romantic moment. He's like, are you done? Are you going to bed now? And she's like, yeah, Are you done? He's like, sleep well. Well, I filled your water bottle up and I put it in the crew mess somewhere. What do you think about that? He's like, thank you, Good night. She's like, oh, damn it. I don't like being the one to make the first move with a water bottle and just having it ignored, you.

[Ronnie Karam]

Know, I'm very happy that my lot, my love life is sorted. About time. I'm bringing eye on a great spot. We're both on the same page. She gets a little kiss on the cheek every three days. And, you know, it's just us, you know, we just go at our own pace. And she's like, I'm horny, I'm horny. Do me.

[Ben Mandelker]

She's like, I want to know where Harry stands. I mean, we go on a date, but we don't discuss anything. I mean, does he even know my parents owned an ice cream shop? Does he know I used to date a model and I almost settled down in New Jersey? What does he know?

[Ronnie Karam]

So then it's the final day, this next morning and beyond flirting with the dare by saying, your boots are the best.

[Ben Mandelker]

She's like, yeah, man, you stepping my appetite down at these johns in a minute. It's fucking funny. You want to take a closer look?

[Ronnie Karam]

He's like, no, I saw it. Lovely, lovely boots. She's like, boot in the face. He's like, all right. So Johnny's like, should we do the lines? And beyond's like, I am so in love with the dad there. How am I going to tell her that? He's like, well, it's something you have to figure out. At which point Johnny says, for me, I always try to avoid sexual relationship or being on boat because boatman can create turbulence and ruin peace. I'm more likely to paint my hair pink rather than have a boatman's. Could you imagine pink hair? Johnny would be banned from Greece. Ridiculous pink hair. Think about it. Pink hair.

[Ben Mandelker]

I love that he has no patience for Vion. He tells him, that is something you should figure out yourself. Like, don't talk to me about it. I want to hear about this. And poor Vion's like, but listen to Adair. Her voice, it's like poetry. I love boobs. Boobs are great.

[Ronnie Karam]

So now Jason and Laura's talking to Jason about Adair. She's like, last night she was meant to be in the cabin's helping, but then she kept disappearing. And Marina asked to come help her, but like, she said, well, I've done the beds and that's all I do. But I'm kind of like, why are you. Why are you going to Jason about this instead of talking to Adair about it first? Right. I hope this does not need to be escalated.

[Ben Mandelker]

She always goes to tattle to Jason instead of taking care of her own shit. That's bizarre. So he's like, well, I guess I'm part of this now. What's Adair up to now? Someone's going to go, should I send him now? Should I send him later? So you need to tell her to be inside. So Vion comes in and he's like, where is she? What's the dare up to? And he's like, oh, she just came outside. He's like, well, have you told her to be inside? All right, I need communication on this boat.

[Ronnie Karam]

So then Laro said the whole thing again about the cabins. And Jason's like, all right, well, Dex user, always a gray area. It's sort of like when you wear a kimono, but you're also hanging out with the guests. But I think that she's picking and choosing her jobs, and no one changes their department unless. Unless you two authorize it. So communication with you guys has to be like this, okay? Go and fix it. I don't know why you bothered me with this, but go ahead. Go ahead.

[Ben Mandelker]

So as Von leaves, he's like, this annoys me so much. Which. This one I can imagine why. Because how's he supposed to know the girl's not making the beds or cleaning the toilets, whatever?

[Ronnie Karam]

But that being said, why is it that every time there is a Dex do, the deck the boson always acts like the Dex do belongs to their department, like they always are, like, oh, well, I guess we'll loan you the dex due to help out on the interior. So he has no, like, right to feel entitled to Adair. Adair belongs to both departments.

[Ben Mandelker]

Well, he's not saying he has the only right to Adair, is he?

[Ronnie Karam]

I know he's not saying that, but his vibe is like that, if you ask me.

[Ben Mandelker]

I just think he's always giving me, like, geez, can't even do anything right. Which is not incorrect. Laura radios, and she's like, beyond, beyond. Can we have a date help with the guest cabins, please? And he's like, oh, God. And Dar's like, that's annoying. That's annoying. And he's like, all right, well, can we start her on the deck and then move her to interior? She's like, okay. Okay. So now Marina is working on the Cabins. And then Lara, Bri, and Serena are dancing. Like.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah. And the. The guests are sad. It's their last day and everything. And now it's time to lift the. The. The anchors and everything. So I can do. They're going to do. Anchors are going to go up and then now they're also going to have to now rearrange their cabins because the new sous chef will be arriving, which. And she's a girl, which means that there's going to be another shuffling around of people. So Johnny's going have to move in. Now. Last week, I saw the CV and I saw that the new sous chef was named Alicia. And I just jumped to conclusions that it was the same Alicia from below deck sailing. And I received a few messages that said, actually, below deck sailing Alicia. Her name is spelled differently. And also she's a different person than the Alicia that does spelled like I L. So I messed up. I. I failed. I failed as a podcaster.

[Ben Mandelker]

And I. I'm just waiting for an apology.

[Ronnie Karam]

So I apologize. I apologize for putting my theory, my leaky theory out into the water. It's not safe.

[Ben Mandelker]

You're leaky, Lisa. Yeah. So somebody's new. Somebody new is coming. And I did not know any of this information you just gave me, so I thought it was going to be the other Alicia. And I was like, her hair looks great. So they're doing the. The cabin swap and all that good stuff. And Adair's like, oh, we get a lot of money today. And Marina's like, okay, since we're here, listen, the bed, amazing. You're doing great job. But just make sure the towels are clean, there's clean floors. You know, we need more. And she's like, well, I wasn't meaning to leave you yesterday. It's just like, sometimes I do the needs and then I get dragged off. You know, there's, like, food to eat, there's drinks to drink.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah. You know, sometimes I just get dragged off by myself, dragging myself off to doing something more fun. That's it. So they're like, okay, it's fine. So then now Adair has to go back out on the deck, huh? Life of a Dex, too. And now it's time to come in to dock. We're gonna dock. It's gonna be scary. It's gonna be whatever. And then Harry is talking to Dare, and he's like, what are those? I. I guess he's talking about fake boobs. I don't remember this.

[Ben Mandelker]

They're like gel cutlets. You know, I think, oh, yeah, yeah.

[Ronnie Karam]

He's got, like, a bag of, like, the little. The chicken cutlets. Yeah, he's like, all these fake boobs. D's like, they're boobs. Yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

She's like, they're boobs. And poor Bree is like, oh, my God, those boobs are getting more from Harry than me. I just need to have a talk about it.

[Ronnie Karam]

So the guests say goodbye. They give a nice little speech like, we had the best time ever. We're just so excited to go to our hotel now and leave our clothes on every single surface. So they go and they're happy. They were a lovely crew. A lovely. I'm sorry. Lovely, lovely set of guests. Charter. Charter group. And now it's time to change out of your blues. Change into your blues and clean the boat and turn it over and get ready for a tip meeting.

[Ben Mandelker]

All right, all right. First, we got to talk about the Helmet of death. We're getting $15,000, so that's great, everybody. For 48 hours. Not bad. All right. The Helmet of Death is going to. Just kidding. Because he worked at Beefcakes. I respect the game. Please be one of my models for Captain's Lounge. The one going under the bus is Johnny, who saved a woman's life and dragged her back after her leg was almost decapitated. Delegated by a coral delicate.

[Ronnie Karam]

So, by the way, we have.

[Ben Mandelker]

Coral, man's greatest enemy, the great coral reef. Thankfully, we've almost killed the thing, everybody, buddy. So four few more super yacht trips right over it. We should have it dead in no time.

[Ronnie Karam]

All right, we have a sous chef coming in this afternoon. She's a she. So would like to accept any volunteers from the deck crew to make some awkward and unpleasant advances on her. Who would like to volunteer as tribute? All right, Johnny, great. We'll see you later tonight at the bar.

[Ben Mandelker]

Listen, it's been a while. It's been a couple of months since the below deck franchise has had sexual complaints, sexual abuse harassment complaints. So I think we need to get that taken care of tonight. Get on it, disco head.

[Ronnie Karam]

So then Lauren, Zarina are talking, and Serena's talking about how it's like, you can't just, like, shut off a crush. And Lara's like, I mean, that's what I mean. I mean, if a guy likes you, he will never make you doubt that. And that's what you need. You need someone. You don't need to settle for anything else just because someone's here. And Zarina's like, or alternatively, I could settle for the guy who Basically doesn't like me, and I'll just keep lowering my bar for him. I think that sounds like a good game plan for me. Yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

Serena's like, what's wrong with settling? Without settlings, we wouldn't have countries, would we? You know, we'd just be traveling all the time. You know, someone's got.

[Ronnie Karam]

So then they're saying that they hope the new Sioux chef is nice. Etc. And then Harry and is talking to Marina and. Or. And he's like, are you off of Von? What's going on? She's like, no, I would like to get. To get with him again, but he's a cool guy. But, like, we don't talk. Like, not a word for three days.

[Ben Mandelker]

He's like, but I didn't talk to Bri for three days. Look how happy she is.

[Ronnie Karam]

Pulling out her hair, looking at pictures of her old fiance being like, I.

[Ben Mandelker]

Should have given him a chance. Got to her at the window, mascara running down her face.

[Ronnie Karam]

Face, Talk to me says arena is excited for the sous chef. She's like, I love a fresh start. I think it's going to be great. It's time for some girl power in the galley. Please don't be like, Anthony. Please don't be like, Anthony, please. Please enjoy only using forks. So then in comes Alicia. She goes. She comes on. She's. She's blonde, she's perky, she's sweet, she's nice, she's pretty. So she's gonna have all these guys doing gross things to her.

[Ben Mandelker]

She's baby Caroline Stanberry face. Oh, it's crazy. That's all I could see once I saw it. I was like, wow, It's Caroline Stanberry. So she meets everybody, and we find out a little bit about her. She's like, I first got into yachting as a deck juice chief. Stew. Sorry. I love food. I like the smell. I love the color. But, like, I'm starting green, to be honest. You know, like, I'm gonna wing it, but hopefully it'll work out. I didn't even know where the seashells was. Why would you build a town on a seashell? I mean, how do you make streets? Is everything on wheels just goes back and forth? Idiotic.

[Ronnie Karam]

She said the seashells. I mean, we're actually. Can you believe it? That's an actual seashell in the middle of the ocean that they turn into a resort. I didn't know there was a fish that big. So then Harry tells Vian that he's in the doghouse, the marina, because he hasn't spoken to her. And Vian's like, oh, no. So then Alicia's going down. She's meeting everyone. And Sarina's so excited. She's like, I feel like I've got a firecracker coming into my galley. I love the positive energy. I love her attitude. I can't wait to make her do dishes all day long.

[Ben Mandelker]

I can't wait to see what she serves spoons with. With just instinctually in what she doesn't. This is going to be great for science. So they all go out and they're having dinner, and everyone's in a great mood because they've got a new person, which means the guys are just going to ask stupid questions now. And we got. Even goes so far as to whip out pictures of children because that's. That's like the most desperate move when a guy's like, oh, let me show you my niece and nephews like, oh, oh, great.

[Ronnie Karam]

So he's like, what. What is your favorite cuisine to cook? And she's like, Thai food. It's where you basically take a necktie and you put it into a stew. Delicious. They're like, oh, that sounds wonderful. So they're all excited that she's into that, into Thai food. And then, you know, they are, what's your favorite color?

[Ben Mandelker]

What's your hair color? How old are you? What year were you from? And she goes, I'm 25. And John goes, oh, 98. Like, yeah, look at me math. Mathing it up. She's like, actually, 99. So.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah. And she's like, well, you look so much older, Johnny. He's like, thank you. So then Van is talking. Yeah, he's talking to Adair, and he's showing the pictures of the nephews and everything. And she's like, cool. And then he's like, here's another. Here's another child. Does this give me dimension? She's like, cool. Here's another child. What about this one?

[Ben Mandelker]

Okay.

[Ronnie Karam]

She's totally, like, unfazed by him.

[Ben Mandelker]

The guys are trying really, really hard. Do you play Candy Crush? I'm really good at Candy Crush. Look at my score. Johnny's like, I went to prom one time. Look at me dance. Calm down, Johnny.

[Ronnie Karam]

Johnny's like, look, I got woodle in five tries. New record for me. They're like, oh, that's great, Johnny. So. So then Brie and Lara and Zarina go to the bathroom, and Zarina's like, tonight is the night of Vian. They're like, but, you know, he. He. You Know, he. You know. You know, Rihanna likes to be approached. You should try that. You know? And she's like, well, I should. Should I give him a rose in front of everyone? I feel like the more normal we talk, the more. The more talking is normal. Right. It's like, that's very Sondheim sounding of her. Sure. Go for it.

[Ben Mandelker]

So she does. She comes and she. She walks right up to him, and she gives him a rose, and then she grabs his head, and he, like, puts his head in her chest. He's like, oh, yeah. And he hugs her close, close. And. But then to us, he's going, oh, my heart is with the dare. Well, then why are you acting like.

[Ronnie Karam]

How did you do that? Why do you, like. It's like, these guys. It's like, you don't have to do these things. You don't have to. Like, you can just take the rose. You don't have to pull her in and then nuzzle onto her boobs. So then he's like, oh, but obviously, this is not going away, so I need to first solve this problem before I can move on here. So then they go after the club. Club.

[Ben Mandelker]

And surely if I just lap dance on her face, maybe she'll get the right impression.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah. So then he to. To his credit, unlike someone like a Carl or whatever. Well, it's gonna be half credit because I'm gonna. I'm revoking half of the credit in a moment. But to his credit, he goes to Zarina and Marina, and he basically gives them both a spiel of like. I just want to say that our deets is absolutely amazing to me, but I have, like, you have to be honest with you. I have feelings for there. And I cannot be in love with everyone, which is such a strange way of putting it. Like, I can only. Unfortunately, we only have a few slots available for me to be in love with, and those spots have been taken. We do appreciate your application, and we wish you the best of luck in future. Future love endeavors. Yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

But then to Serena, it looks like he's saying the same thing, but it's not exactly the same. The same thing to her. He says, you're such a cool girl. Honestly, I cannot be in love with everyone. I think you're an amazing person. You're amazing. She's like, I know. So did he break up with Serena, too?

[Ronnie Karam]

I think he did. I think they were just cutting it back and forth to make it to show that he really was on kind of a personal script. So.

[Ben Mandelker]

So he said, I have feelings For Adair to Serena.

[Ronnie Karam]

I think he did. I think he did. I think that was the implication because it's so.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yikes.

[Ronnie Karam]

So I gave him credit for a moment here for being able to figure.

[Ben Mandelker]

Out your half credit.

[Ronnie Karam]

No, my half credit's coming in the moment because. So then. So now Zarina. Because Zarina goes up to Lara and goes, well, he's in love with the dare. So then Johnny.

[Ben Mandelker]

Oh, yeah, I didn't catch that part. Yeah, yeah, okay.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah. So then Johnny's dancing with Alicia and they're like, dancing a lot and having lots of fun, and he's drunk. And then he tries to go in for a kiss. Well, he says something like. He's like, you have woken something inside of me that has not been awoken in so many hours.

[Ben Mandelker]

Okay.

[Ronnie Karam]

It scares me.

[Ben Mandelker]

You have awakened a beast. I saved a woman's life today.

[Ronnie Karam]

I'm like, sir, sir, it's been two hours. And it's. It's been like two hours. And it's been all group setting, too. And so she goes in for a kiss and she basically puts the hand out and was like, no. Although, actually, I mean, she's definitely attracted to him, but she's also like, I may be attracted to you, but I also have some personal standards. So let's. Let's wait more than five seconds.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. She's like, johnny, darling, I've literally met you for five seconds, please. He's like, but our beast has awakened. It's a little boner. Put it away, please. Put it in your waistband like you do the rest of the days on this boat. I've just come here. All right? I shall not be given away in the first five minutes. Minutes. Cuz that's what the guys try and do. They're like, oh, new girl who can.

[Ronnie Karam]

Get her first jumper. And she's like, every single time I look into his eyes, I'm like, ah, he's a gorgeous man, but I don't know him. It's just too much too soon. We'll see. We'll see. So then. And of course, everyone watched this happen. You know, like Bri and Lara watched. And Bri's like, did he just kiss her? I was like, no, he tried. She goes, oh, I'm so jealous. I wish Harry would try that. That. So Harry's like, that's what I was. That's what I was feeling when I kissed Brie for the first time. But guess who bagged a model? Guess who's dating a model? Who is dating a model? She's a Model.

[Ben Mandelker]

So then Serena, who's just been dumped, even though she wasn't in a relationship with this guy, but she was just told, not interested. Goes up to Vyon and takes him, like, takes his shirt. And she's like, you come into the van with me.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

He's like, okay. So he does.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah. So then in van. So Zarina's like, johnny, are you in love? And he's like, no, not in love. That's a heavy word to use. First of all, I am just full of boner. Found her very attractive. We vibe together. That's all.

[Ben Mandelker]

So in the other car, they're gossiping, and Lara's like, did Von have a conversation with you tonight? And Harry's like, tell me, tell me. And Marina's like, well, Von broke up with me today. Okay, well, not kidding. I mean, I'm kidding. But he said that he liked somebody and he wanted to pursue that. And Lara's like, oh, it's Adair. He's in love with Adair. But the thing is, Adair doesn't even know about it. And so they're cracking up, and Bree's just like, yeah, I feel like Adair's just a dare.

[Ronnie Karam]

So then they go back on the boat, and Harry re showing Harry the sand in the cabins. And then Zarina's talking to Von, and she's like, are you naked? And he's like, no. She's like, are you. Are you coming up? And he's like, wearing these, like, teeny, tiny, tiny, tiny bungee smugglers. Like, tiny, tiny. So she's like, oh, like, she is horned up like crazy. I mean, can't blame her. Those are real, real tight.

[Ben Mandelker]

I start. Do you enjoy torturing me? Is that something that you like to do? And he's like, oh, I should take a shower. And she's like, oh, God. Fine, fine. You're leaving footprints everywhere, mister. Oh, little does he know I look of footprints.

[Ronnie Karam]

I hate you.

[Ben Mandelker]

I hate strong men.

[Ronnie Karam]

Jeez.

[Ben Mandelker]

Then she grabs him and starts, like, making out with him in the hallway. Right?

[Ronnie Karam]

That was at the end of the episode. Yeah. So then Harry, meanwhile, is like, all right, time for me to make my big move. So. Well, oh, actually, maybe it did happen, because Harry. Harry goes. I. I think this is. We may have skipped over it, but Harry and Harry brings Brie into the guest cabin, and it looks like they're going to, like, spend the night. That's usually when you. When it's off charter and you go into the guest cabin, that means you're gonna. You're gonna do it. So he's in there with Bri in the guest cabin, and then they, like, kiss. And then he's like, well, we got a lot of work to do tomorrow, so I guess we should probably go to sleep.

[Ben Mandelker]

Well, no, sheets aren't on the bed. She's like, oh, we already took this sheets off the bed. So he's like, all right, well, what should we do now? And she's like, I don't know. I would hate for you to have to make a bed. I mean, Jesus Christ, this is not the man you want to end up with. He's like, well, no sheets on the bed. Guess I can't do anything on the bed. What do we do? Put sheets on it? Yes. Have the man make the bed if he wants a little, but he doesn't. And she's like, I mean, I wish we could cuddle and watch a movie. And he's like, we have so much work to do tomorrow.

[Ronnie Karam]

And then this is where then Zarina and. And Von have this moment where they're kind of like kissing Joki and then kissing for real. And then it looks like they are.

[Ben Mandelker]

Really grabs him and pulls him off camera and starts making out with him. And he's like, okay, okay. And she's like, that's when she's like, I hate you. I hate strong men. Oh, he just dumped you.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah. And then the other thing. But this is where I. He. This is the half credit. This is where he deducted because Vion is so that sort of guy that's like, okay, I'm gonna break up with you all, because that's the mature thing to do. And then now that he has established a boundary that he's not into you, he will then come and make out with you. And then when you're like, whoa, we were just. We're making out. He'll be like, yeah, but I already told you, I'm not into you. That was just for fun. You're being crazy right now. So that's why he lost credit with me, because it was like, his whole life.

[Ben Mandelker]

Serena also loses credit with me. Like, get some self respect. The man just dumped you. And she's like, oh, come here. Oh, God. Gotta have you.

[Ronnie Karam]

Come here.

[Ben Mandelker]

Off camera. Oh, God, you're such a strong man. Like, oh, girl, get a hold of yourself. It's embarrassing, man. Used by all. You know what I mean? Like, you don't go to the grocery store and just take home the. The little dispenser in front that gives everybody the Amazon antibacterial soap. That's for everybody.

[Ronnie Karam]

So, yeah, so they make out. It was actually exactly in the place that you said it happened. I was wrong. And then Harry is goes into his cabin and he is like, you guys, I just had the best makeup session ever. Like, I kissed her on the lips for about three seconds. No tongue. But, like, we're working towards it. It was just so good.

[Ben Mandelker]

I mean, she wanted to cuddle up and watch a movie. Too soon for that. That.

[Ronnie Karam]

Too soon for that.

[Ben Mandelker]

All right.

[Ronnie Karam]

Too soon for halfway to this base.

[Ben Mandelker]

Well, mother of Babylon, not doing that yet. And then it cuts to Bri, who's all frustrated getting into bed. She's like, oh, God, this man can't make a move to save his life. And she says if he doesn't do something quick, this is going to fizzle out.

[Ronnie Karam]

Yeah, it's going to probably fizzle up.

[Ben Mandelker]

That's the end of that one.

[Ronnie Karam]
