Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Trashgate Meltdown (02:40–06:37)

• Anthony’s Frustration Builds: Anthony, the chef, grows increasingly frustrated with the deck crew ignoring his radio calls to take out kitchen trash. Hugo is called out for being useless ("I'm building a mountain of trash over here!").
• Crew Apathy: Hugo and the deckhands are "just sitting around doing nothing," which sets Anthony off even more.
• Celine the MVP: Celine tries to handle the trash in a hilariously slapstick moment that literally lightens the mood for listeners (“She’s trying to put the trash into the recycling bin... it’s a whole, like, you know, yuck yuck moment.” — Brandy, 04:03).

2. Crew Conflict—Pointing Fingers & Avoiding Responsibility (05:08–06:37)

• Hugo’s Defensiveness: Hugo bristles at Anthony’s anger and complains he gets no sympathy:

  "Anthony coming at me with this fucking trash is a joke... I'm not going to pity party your ass." (Hugo, quoted by Brandy, 05:08)

• Hosts Side with Anthony: Ben and Ronnie agree the crew is doing less than the minimum and passing blame.

3. Guest Dissatisfaction: The Yacht That Wouldn’t Move (07:12–08:25)

• Ron the Guest's Complaint: Charter guest Ron is openly annoyed he paid $60,000 and "the boat doesn’t even move."

  "It's kind of pathetic that we come spend $60,000 and this boat doesn't even move." (Ron, 07:12)

• Hosts Go All In: They riff on what kind of refund the guests deserve, escalating from half off to "buy me a yacht... actually, buy me some children from overseas." (Ben & Ronnie, 08:00)
• More Delays & Awkward Solutions: Charter Broker tries to reassure: more delays for parts, and they must improvise on land/water ("do something good... water sports, snorkeling, reach-arounds, whatever it takes" — Brandy as Captain, 08:42)

4. Wedding Dress Jump & Activities to Nowhere (09:42–11:46)

• Guest Gimmicks: Guests want to jump in the sea, wedding dress and all—but all they get is a dinghy by the seaport, poking fun at the lack of luxury.
• Hosts’ Snark:

  "You wanted a majestic photo... instead, what we can offer is you jumping off a tiny dinghy around an industrial seaport." (Jen, 09:42)

• Pad Thai in a Pineapple: Anthony serves creative food, carving pineapples for Pad Thai and chicken. Ronnie shares a life hack—try carving a pineapple for fun when stuck at home. (Brandy, 11:03)

5. Discount Drama & Tip Negotiations (13:15–16:05)

• Guests Discuss Compensation: The group debates how much of a discount is fair. The charter company offers only 20% off—which Ben & Ronnie find insulting.

  "Shocking. Shockingly bad. 20% is like. It should not be 20%. It should be at least 50." (Brandy, 13:19)

• Captain Kerry’s Frustration: Kerry argues the staff shouldn't be punished for the owner's mechanical issues; guests try to justify stiffing the crew on tips.

6. Kyle’s Spiral: Actions and Consequences (13:58–15:20, 21:40–36:36)

• Kyle’s Self-Destructive Attitude: Kyle is sullen and reluctant to take real responsibility—he blames feeling like a ghost, then drinks to excess.

  "These are the actions of my consequences." (Kyle, 13:58) "I'm just pissed off. I just want to get the job done and fuck off. I'm over it. I'm fed up." (Kyle, 14:38)

• Instagram Walls: Hosts joke about the producers toning down on “Instagram wall” confessionals, and how that’s a mercy given Kyle's behavior.
• Climactic Drunken Self-Sabotage: A drunk Kyle toasts the crew, hints he "got away with it," and tries to frame his near-firing as Fraser’s fault before Ron and Ben again come down hard:

  “If you want to quit and you want to go be a loser, then do it on your own accord. Stop making everybody else make these choices for you.” (Ben, 34:28–35:10)

• Fraser's Outrage: He won’t be villainized by Kyle. Both hosts note the pattern of Kyle blaming everyone else for his misery.

7. Food Fights: The Sandwich Saga (22:24–29:39)

• Crew Disrespect: Deckhand Damo complains about "just sandwiches" for lunch; Anthony claps back, announcing he works 16-hour days and won't be disrespected.

  “Actions have consequences. These are called consequence sandwiches. I will gladly eat them.” (Jen & Brandy, 24:05–24:14)

• Barbara’s Awkward Lunch Question: Crew pokes Anthony for lunch; he storms off ("I'm going to serve you fucking lunch because it's treating me like little…I'm sick of being little bitch…Oh really? I'm going to feed you dyslexia. Enjoy this dyslexia soup." —Anthony, paraphrased by Jen, 30:16).

8. The Tip Reveal & Final Reflections (31:17–37:04)

• Low Tip: The crew gets $19,000, far below expectations. Everyone’s disappointed.
• Anthony Feeds the Crew: Anthony returns with a lavish meal to "compensate" but the hosts relish the pettiness.
• Hosts’ Assessment: The hosts wrap with sharp words for both the guests and the most problematic crew, especially Kyle, and note everyone’s exhaustion at the neverending drama.

[Jen]

Well, hello and welcome to Watch what Croppens. This is part two of a two part recap. If you're like, hey, wait a minute, I didn't hear part one. Guys, it's because we put out a lot of recaps. Go back and listen to part one. Okay? It's before this one. Bye. Enjoy the show.

[Brandy]

Back in the galley, there's a big pile of trash just sitting there and Anthony's like, fucking trash. Sitting here all day. Have you seen a steel anywhere? And Rainbow's like, I haven't seen anybody. I'm on my own island. Call back. And Anthony's like, what are they doing? She goes, I don't know what the fuck? So then he's like, radioing. He's like, can someone take out the trash? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Trash, Trash, trash. I'm building a mountain of trash over here. It's like. This is like Paris. Come on, Someone fix the trash, please.

[Jen]

So Hugo's just hanging out in the mess, not answering. Jess is making out with Barbara. No one's doing anything. So Anthony starts to unravel. He's like, I'm building mountain of craft over here, like in Paris. And, like, you always think he's doing nothing. I don't know why he's not taking trash. Okay, go ahead, Go ahead. Okay. Any chance to wrap the trash on the galley? Because it's really starting to have a little mountain over here. He's like, yep, no problem. Gotcha. Copy. I'm gonna eat some more combos really, really slowly and not do a thing that I just said I would do or tell people who are right around me to do it because I'm Hugo.

[Brandy]

Yeah. He just sits there. And then he's like. It's actually infuriating because this happens on every season of blow deck. Is that the deckhands, especially on these sort of charters, just do nothing. And, like, you're not. The boat's not moving, so you can't even say, oh, well, we were anchoring and doing this or that. Like, you put out some. You put out. Sure you did. You put out some, like, the toys and did like a. Like a sunset cruise. And you've been washing the decks, but, like, the interior has been working like crazy. And now they're all just, like, sitting around doing nothing. Of course. So Celine grabs the trash, and then she has a whole kind of like, slapstick moment where she's trying to put the trash into, like, the recycling bin. And she. It's heavy, and she can't get it up and lifting the thing up, and it's a whole. It's a whole, like, you know, yuck, yuck moment.

[Jen]

Yeah. So Anthony is pissed. He's like, I work hard. These guys aren't doing. This is so disrespectful. So Anthony goes down to the crew mess, and he's like, hey, bro, bro, bro. When I ask you guys on the radio, like, one of the dick team about the trash and he goes like. Did they not go, what the. He's like, no, nobody showed up. Well, I saw one of them. I thought they were heading over there. I mean, she was holding hands with the girl and they were talking about jam. I assumed that was lingo for we're about to go do a whole lot of work for the chef. Guess that didn't work out, huh? Maybe I should have asked.

[Brandy]

Well, for me it was like, anthony, go fuck yourself with the trash. You know? So Hugo says, anthony coming at me with this fucking trash is a joke that gets fucked up with what he does to the crew when he goes in these spirals and he just starts yelling and everyone' supposed to turn their back and go, oh, well, that's Anthony. I don't like that. Don't come at me with that angle. I'm not going to pity part of your ass. Yeah, you don't have to like his attitude, but like, if you have a responsibility to clear up trash from the galley, do your job.

[Jen]

Do your job.

[Brandy]

Yell at you.

[Jen]

And also the last time Anthony yelled at you guys was when he had to cook your whole dinner on vacation because no one would help him. So Anthony's, you know, behavior is not great, but you guys are being dicks. And it's the second time in the row that you've been there and you're blaming him is crazy when you haven't taken out the trash.

[Brandy]

Yeah, he's like, really? All eyes are on him and they should know that. And you're like, he needs to have organization in his galley. And you guys are just sitting around. You're literally sitting in the corner of the crew mess doing nothing. You have Jess, who's making out with Barbara, you have there, and you've got two of the guys are just in their room just on their phones relaxing. So I think it's like bullshit that Hugo is gonna be like, I don't like the way he's treating me. Hugo has actually proven to be a little inept, you know, because Hugo also did not shut down the thing with Kyle that. That sort of festered the whole thing when Kyle was bragging. Hugo's who actually should have reported it. It shouldn't have even been Fraser, shouldn't have even been in a position where he like, has to like potentially report it to Carrie, because that should have been Hugo who did that in the first place. So Hugo's sort of like a little shit.

[Jen]

Yeah. So Then now it's 11pm the guests are bored, so they go to bed and Jess and Barbara are kissing. But Jess goes back to her cabin and Rainbow checks out the list of stuff to do. And it's done before Selene goes to bed. And Rainbow's like, has hell frozen over? Because I feel like Selene is not distracted, so she's actually doing her job. Like, the bitch is working. And that's because I wasn't nice to her because I finally stood up for myself. You just got rainbowed.

[Brandy]

Mess with the horns, you're gonna get the rainbow. So now it's the morning. It's 6am and Ron is up and he's like, I mean, it's kind of pathetic that we come spend $60,000 and this boat doesn't even move. I mean, fair point. Fair.

[Jen]

True.

[Brandy]

I'm not saying that that's not true. I'm just saying I wouldn't act like I'm stuck at, like, an Applebee's. Okay. Like, you're still in a really beautiful situation.

[Jen]

Yeah, I would be super pissed. I think he totally has a right to be pissed. Just take it out on the right people. And you know what? Amex and say, reverse this charge. The boat never moved the boat, period.

[Brandy]

So, yeah, I would ask for half off. To be honest.

[Jen]

I would ask. I would say, I'm not paying for this, period. They shouldn't have to pay for anything.

[Brandy]

I would say, actually, buy me a yacht at this point. Buy me a yacht.

[Jen]

It's not that I would actually say, you need to buy me some children from overseas because I would be a good parent and I've never been able to afford it, so it's kind of fair.

[Brandy]

I'd be a good parent. I would. I have chalkboards ready for when they go to school. Like, I'm ready for the process. I have seashells.

[Jen]

I have a piano to learn chopsticks on. Okay. I deserve children.

[Brandy]

So there's a good delay with the part. More delays in the parts. Yeah.

[Jen]

Good news, I got a text. Bad news, the part's delayed. Good news, Wednesday's back. Bad news, second season sucks. Just found out last night. God.

[Brandy]

Tomorrow morning, the person is flying here with the pot. The bad news is their arms are really tired. It's a joke, all right? We're not going to be going anywhere. Okay? We've got. But we've got to do. So we've got to do something good. Water sports, snorkeling, reach rounds, Whatever it takes. Come back to the boat for lunch. All right? She wants to jump in the water. This woman wants to jump in the water with A wedding dress off the tender, because she thinks that's gonna be funny. So if we pull that off, it's gonna save the charter. All right? So time is of the essence. I don't want them getting delay sitting around doing nothing.

[Jen]

Me neither. Me neither. That is exactly what I don't want. So. All right, guests, today, we're going to take you out snorkeling. I know you want a picture of you two together jumping off a boat wearing your wedding dress, which is absolutely pathetic, but we will relive that feeling that you first felt in that dress, which I hope is dread and instant regret, because it's what's on your face right now.

[Brandy]

I know you wanted a photo, a majestic photo of you jumping off the bow of the boat. A tall mega yacht in the background as you plummet into the ocean with nothing but an unblemished horizon in the background. But instead, what we can offer is you jumping off a tiny dinghy around an industrial seaport.

[Jen]

Rainbow goes to check on Anthony, and he's like, what is happening? She goes, nothing there, by the way. They're loving it. They are absolutely loving everything that's going on. Everything is going great. He goes, okay, well, I need to know everything, because you know how much everything is stressing me. Just. I don't have time for the speech. Okay, bye. She walks off. He's like, what the. What did you just say?

[Brandy]

What we all know the way you deal with stress is you internalize it until you have a panic attack late at night and cry in the corner and then come back and act like nothing happened. And if that's still not good enough, you go to an island and you. You punch a bitch.

[Jen]

She's like, find a sibling to abuse. I'm busy. Bye.

[Brandy]

I gave you my perfunctory compliment of the day, and I'm going back to my cleaning. So the guests go snorkeling, and they look like they actually have, like, a very fun day. There's, like, chicken that's served in the pineapple. That's cool.

[Jen]

The chicken pad or the pad thai served in a pineapple was really neat.

[Brandy]

Yeah, that was fun. I did that for the first time. I. I carved out a pineapple like that for the first time for the White Lotus season finale. And it was really fun. It's actually not what you put in, like, a Thai rice of some sort. Carving out the pineapple is not hard at all, people. You just. Literally, there's, like, a million tutorials online. It takes about three seconds, and it looks really, like, fun and special. So my hack for, for. For being stuck on land all day. Carve a pineapple.

[Jen]

Carve a pine. So we go to Denise and Ron taking their jumping pick. It's, you know, it's weird as you would think. Yeah, it's something.

[Brandy]

At that point, I would just.

[Jen]

The whole reason she's doing it is because she's like, I still fit in my wedding dress. It's like her Facebook post where she can be like, hi, everybody who's gained weight since they got married 10 years ago. Guess who didn't.

[Brandy]

Me.

[Jen]

That's right. It's been 10 years.

[Brandy]

Guess who spent thousands of dollars on this dress and now is gonna willfully destroy it by jumping into the waters of a St. Martin harbor? Me. Here we go.

[Jen]

Yeah.

[Brandy]

Then there's like, party.

[Jen]

Oh, God. Then we get a 70s theme party. Yeah. This is not. This is not what to do when people are stuck on the boat. Put on wacky 70s costumes. I'm glad we kind of fast forwarded through it.

[Brandy]

Yeah. This was one of those charter days where production just like zipped through it very quickly.

[Jen]

Yeah.

[Brandy]

And then Anthony made a beef Wellington and made a vegan Milanese. He did. He was like, he was firing in all cylinders dealing with all these, all these requirements. Then people were dancing.

[Jen]

He's doing great, by the way. He's made really good looking food today, aside from the baby arm octopus. But Wellington's not that easy. And I mean, he's pulling off a lot of stuff, so. Good for him.

[Brandy]

Yeah, we're very proud of him, our little baby.

[Jen]

So proud. I mean, you get a little confidence into that tight jeans little man. And look at him go, you know?

[Brandy]

Yeah, he's. He's really. He's grown. He is growing. So now, 2:30 in the morning, everyone gets to bed. And now, third day of the charter, 6:30am, Carrie calls the yacht agent about giving the guests a discount.

[Jen]

And 20%. Sorry, that's not going to cut it.

[Brandy]

Shocking. Shockingly bad. 20% is like. It should not be 20%. It should be at least 50. At least 50, I would say.

[Jen]

This boat's not even moving. We can't charge them. And then have them say, okay, tell them we'll give them half off or something. But you don't start at 20. What kind of negotiator are you? It was bad.

[Brandy]

I think it's actually rude. It's rude. It's wrong. So then Damo's talking to Kyle and Kyle's like, Damo's like asking How Kyle is. And Kyle's like, I just feel awkward every time I'm around the guests now. You know, it's hard when you have a boner, but you know you can't stick it into a guest. It's so hard for me. It's very, very awkward.

[Jen]

But these are the actions of my consequences. Yes, I heard you. Let us talk about Dama's. Like, I'm not entirely sure if you're saying that ironically or not, because it seems like you're making a joke of it. He goes, yeah, I am. Okay. So you see, he's taking no responsibility. He's just mad that there's consequences.

[Brandy]

So I don't know if Kyle realized that he reversed the order there because he said, these are the actions of my consequences. So Damo, I think Damo's like, did you mean to say it that way?

[Jen]

Well, the rest of the episode are the actions of his consequences, because now he's getting consequences and it's sending him into action, which is. Yes, being terrible.

[Brandy]

Yeah, exactly. So then he gets another Instagram wall. I think he's actually the only Instagram walls of the season. I think they have started to mitigate the Instagram walls, which I appreciate. So we get two Kyle's, which is only rough because we have to see a lot of his photos up close and personal. And he's like, I'm usually pretty outgoing. I love life, I love people. I just don't know where to place myself. I don't know what to do. I'm a ghost on this shoe. I shouldn't be here, but I'm here. I'm just pissed off. I just want to get the job done and fuck off. I'm over it. I'm fed up. I'm like, I'm sorry. I'm not. I just. I cannot be on board for Kyle's existential crisis. Like, you were inappropriate. You're being punished. Like, just do your job and move on.

[Jen]

Like, he's literally mad now that he's not fired.

[Brandy]

What a weirdo. He's like, on this ship. Oh, come relax.

[Jen]

Two of the guys from the guest. Whatever. The two of the guests are like, what? Well, what's your suggestion about the additional stuff for the crew? And he's like, no, no. Tip is not a reflection of our group. It's a reflection of the circumstances. No, it's a reflection of your group. The reflection of the circumstances is refusing to pay for the yacht. Not over the people here. You are such a wuss. You would rather over the People who can't fight back than the people that could sue you, is what you're saying.

[Brandy]

Yeah. Mm. Exactly.

[Jen]

Bad.

[Brandy]

And so Ron's like, well, I think. I think I need to explain that to the captain. And like, well, he's right there. He's like, oh, okay, Doug.

[Jen]

Well, you're the one talking all big and trying to talk him up to it, so why don't you go with him to talk to the captain, you wuss? He's like, oh, yeah, we're not paying for shit. We shouldn't have to. It's not a reflection of us. Okay, you go talk to him. Yeah, I'll just sit. I'll just sit here at the bar and watch. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappin's commercial. It's your man, Nick Cannon, and I'm here to bring you my new podcast, Nick Cannon at Night.

[Brandy]

So Ron pulls Kerry for a chat and he's like, well, you know, first of all, you guys have been great, by the way. I mean, a little upset you guys didn't have some just for men because as you can tell, I ran out of. I ran out just at the right at the end there. But we've been completely happy. I mean, just. I mean, just so happy. But. But I think normally when something is significantly wrong, I mean, the boat doesn't leave. That's not like a small matter, right? No, absolutely not. Not at all. You're gonna get to a point here because I'm sort of binging Wednesday at the morning moment, and I just really, really need to get back to it.

[Jen]

I need to see what that crazy hand is up to. Well, we're all in the service industry. I mean look at us all service, right? So usually I hate when people say that as if everybody in the world doesn't know that this is gonna like that doesn't give you an extra anything to say. I'm in the service industry. When people are like, you guys, we didn't get our drinks on time and we're in the service industry. Oh really? Because people who aren't in the service industry love getting terrible service. Like what do you think that gives you over everybody else? Shut up, Ron. So he's like, yeah, and you know there's a standard gratuity, but I don't know that the group's gonna be happy about doing that because everybody knows if you have a great waiter and terr you should over the waiter every single time. Yeah, right Captain?

[Brandy]

Yeah. And so, and meanwhile the guest, the, the crew is like Barbara and Rainbow were talking about how their, their tip is probably going to be whatever. So car's like, well it now I.

[Jen]

Just got myself more mad because being in the service industry you do have a leg up to know if the restaurant up. The restaurant takes a loss, not the waiter.

[Brandy]

What is wrong with you?

[Jen]

You should know better.

[Brandy]

The meal. You comp the meal.

[Jen]

Yeah.

[Brandy]

I almost wonder like did. Did Ron already talked to the charter company and were they like we're not going to give you anything. I don't know. But Carrie's like, well at the end of the day you get nothing for nothing, quite literally. And it's a service industry and if the house makes a mistake, the staff shouldn't suffer.

[Jen]

So thank you, Carrie.

[Brandy]

Yeah, thank you. Ron's like, well, but this is a ship, not a house. So yachting wouldn't be what it is if all the boats never left the dock. Right. It would be reasonable for that component of this to influence the people thought like normally the owner or whoever's in charge of that would do something to make it, make it right. Do you understand? Do you understand how sad my white streak in my hair is right now? Do you see it's crying. I can't have it crying.

[Jen]

Now I know that's not your call, but my hair hurts. My hair really hurts right now. He's like, well I've had a discussion with the agent about that and there should be some compensation on the front end of the charter. And I've been told that there's a discussion that you and them will be Having after. Oh, hell no. That company sucks. They need to have this conversation right fucking now. This boat's not leaving. I'm on the wrong side, too. I just don't like how he dealt with it. I'm sorry, what'd you say?

[Brandy]

We all know the comp. The quote, unquote company is Bravo, right? Has to be.

[Jen]

I don't know how this works, if it's Bravo or if it's the actual owner of the boat who does it. I don't feel like it's the owner of the boat.

[Brandy]

I think no matter what, like, you do a tip because the service was still really excellent. Maybe. I mean, maybe it wasn't excellent. Like, there was that Jet Ski issue, but, like, you could see that everyone was working super, super hard to keep them entertained to compensate. And I think punishing the crew is. Is shitty, you know?

[Jen]

Well, they get a huge discount, right, for shooting the show. So if this was, I think it's like 50% off. So if they're paying 60, this probably would have cost them 120 grand. So maybe the boat gets. The boat owners rent it out for the show, and they're taking kind of a loss anyway because they're saying, okay, we'll let you shoot on the boat for half the price because at least we're using the boat more, you know? And so if the thing doesn't happen and the boat doesn't move, they're probably telling Bravo, like, hey, listen, you're still shooting. Bravo's still making their money on this episode. So we want our money from this episode. Like, you're not gonna stiff us when you still got to shoot this episode on our boat. So maybe that could cause some kind of complications or something.

[Brandy]

Yeah, maybe. Or maybe this guy's just a dick wad.

[Jen]

So that's true. Yes.

[Brandy]

Jess goes up to Kyle. She's like, how are things going? Any actions and consequences you want to share? And he's like, well, I need to watch what I'm doing and drinking and whatnot. So, Monty. Nice. I love drinking, though. So at the point where I should stop, that's where I go. It's time to fucking go harder, you know?

[Jen]

Oh, yeah. I love when people have this discussion. They're like, you know what I really need to do? Change. That's the problem with me. I just don't know how to stop. Oh. Gonna drink this entire bottle of whiskey in five minutes because that's what happens. So I can't feel for Kyle.

[Brandy]

Well, if you go down that road, you'll probably get a dui. There's going to be a point where you can't turn back. It's like, yeah, absolutely. He's like, looking forward to it.

[Jen]

Yeah. So there's some lunch. And it is a sad little lunch. It's like little sandwiches, you know, like lunch sandwiches. When you're in the first grade and your mom's in a hurry and she's like, here's some turkey with some cheese slapped on there. Get the lunch. A little complainer. All right.

[Brandy]

Yeah.

[Jen]

And Damo gets it and he's like, oh, is this our lunch? Gee, yeesh. And Anthony's like, well, come on. You know, food is food. Captain told me if I don't have time make a sandwich, you know, he cannot be Christmas every day, guys. Okay? Un believable. Show me some respect. I'm part of the tips. I do my best for the crew. I'm working hard. Hard, bro. I'm not your. All my life people put me down and I'm tired with that. Off, off. Now you get sandwiches.

[Brandy]

You know what? I absolutely side with Anthony on this. Like, was Dan, did Damo work up an appetite from all the not docking he was doing? You know what? Eat your sandwich. I know it's not like fancy, but like, guess what? I have sandwiches like that like most of the week, like, like will survive. You know, you'll eat. You're probably snacking. You're probably snacking all day anyway. Just eat your sandwich. Yeah, and eat two. Eat two of them instead.

[Jen]

Yeah. If you got. If you eat two or three, eat your film. Then say, we need more. We ran out.

[Brandy]

But yeah, complaining about everyone else's sandwiches and then blame the chef.

[Jen]

I'm a. I'm a working boy or whatever.

[Brandy]

Yeah. But like, I thought that was really disrespectful when he's been cooking non stop for like two straight days. And then you're going to come in here and be like, is this it? Is this all we get? Like, it's just. I think it's totally obnoxious.

[Jen]

I mean, I thought so too. But don't you think that Anthony is probably getting revenge? Because. No, I think Anthony's being passive aggressive. Passive regressive. Passive aggressive. Because nobody took out the trash. And so now he's like, okay, now you're gonna get sandwiches.

[Brandy]

As he should. Actions have consequences.

[Jen]

These are called consequence sandwiches. I will gladly eat them.

[Brandy]

Yeah. Because they basically said, oh, we don't really give. We don't really care about Anthony. So why is he. After he has worked this crazy charter non stop with, like, all these different requests and, like, having to really go above and beyond because they're docked. Why should be like, wait, now let me drop everything for this crew. I mean, yes, he should do that for pride in his job, but they were just totally disrespectful to him. And so he's like, you know what? I'm just gonna make you sandwiches today because I'm busy and you don't have respect for me. So guess what? It goes two ways.

[Jen]

Yeah. Okay, so now the guests are departing, and Ron's like, guys, you were all a plus plus, plus, plus, plus, plus. Chef Anthony, we threw you curves, you know, vegans, Some, not some vegetarians. It was just great. Fraser, your customer service. God, we're in the customer service business. We own restaurants. So you epitomize customer service. And we've got something for you, which is to show how much we didn't appreciate your service. Thanks, suckers. Thanks, losers.

[Brandy]

I need to look up who is this guy and what his restaurants are. I need to find, like, I'm gonna have to hit up our old friend Gina Ragusa, who writes. Who's like, she's a writer and she always seems to know who all of the guests are, because I want to know who this person is and who their restaurants are, because I want to find out. I want to find out what's going on, and then I'm going to talk about. I want to talk about those Yelp reviews and everything, because I bet this guy has shitty, shitty restaurants. Ron.

[Jen]

While the search results mention other below deck chefs like Marcos, who has blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, none of them are associated with Ron. Well, I can't find it so far.

[Brandy]

It's always really annoying. It's always like. It's always, I wish that Bravo was better about, like, giving details about these guests because they ever, every time they leave, I always want to, like, look them up and find out all the details. And you never, ever can.

[Jen]

Yeah, I want to know.

[Brandy]

Let me get to the bottom of this.

[Jen]

I want to know too, but I can't find it. So maybe we'll see later. Someone will. Someone will come out with it. Someone so wants to shame people now, everybody. Anthony pulls Damo aside and he's like, let's have a quick chat, bro. What was that sandwich? I didn't like that direction, bro. And he's like, oh, it's just. It wasn't a lot because, well, I'm working 16 hours a day, you know, bro. So he's like, I'm not a little bitch. And when I hear that the primary guest was happy, my job. Remember one thing. Part of the tip is part of me too. So you remember that today when you get your amazing tip. This is all me, everybody. Today's tip is because of me.

[Brandy]

That is funny. It's like, oh, we just need a bit more food, man. Like, nobody thinks you're a. Nobody thinks you work for us. But while you're here, do you mind mopping the floor over there? Okay? And stop with that attitude.

[Jen]

I'm not the here. And what I hear, the primary guest was very happy of my job. So remember, remember me. And Hugo's like, oh, calm the down, Hugo. Shut up. No one's talking to you, sir. Okay? You need to shut your face. You're being a real asshole this whole episode. You be quiet or you're gonna get little consequence sandwiches all season.

[Brandy]

I love a consequence sandwich. Actually. I can really go for a consequence sandwich right now. I'm not gonna lie. So. So Carrie's like, all right, all right, everyone. Meeting the sky Lounge. Sky lounge, everyone. So they. All the. The crew gathers before Carrie gets there. And you know, Fraser is like, they all gather there. And Anthony's angry and Barbara's like, well, I hope. I hope Anthony's making some snacks and. And Frasers and Celine is like, yeah, we didn't have lunch. And Fraser goes, yeah, I wouldn't keep saying that on the lunch day with. With Anthony.

[Jen]

A.

[Brandy]

Okay. A.

[Jen]

So here, this is where I get confused. So he didn't even feed the whole staff. Like, did the crew. Did the guys just eat all the sandwiches?

[Brandy]

Because he was making, Remember? He was like, cooking. He was cooking in the galley and he had to step away to go to this meeting.

[Jen]

So he just gave sandwiches to the deck crew to, like, shut them up and then was going to cook other stuff for later maybe.

[Brandy]

Or maybe they ran out of sandwiches. Maybe the duck crew did eat all the sandwiches. I'm not sure. But he was definitely. He was definitely in the galley cooking something. Something.

[Jen]

Because I thought he went to the galley to cook after the conversation with Damo. Because Damo's like, we're just saying it's not enough food. So he's like, okay, fine. So he went back to the galley to make more food is how I was taking it. I don't. I don't know. This is so stupid. Like, getting caught up in this stuff. Like, I have to remember what we're watching Sometimes I'm like, wait a Minute. Who got. Who got the sandwiches?

[Brandy]

I honestly keep on thinking about those sandwiches, and I want one really badly. Like, I'm craving.

[Jen]

Well, who's stopping you? Got some bread in your fridge? I mean, in your pantry.

[Brandy]

No, I'm gonna make a sandwich. But we're podcasting, so I'm not gonna stop the podcast.

[Jen]

Stop the podcast. Unless you need a sandwich. That's a reason.

[Brandy]

Could you bring the. Bring the la. Bring the. The microphone up to the kitchen.

[Jen]

Yeah. So Fraser's like, please stop saying that, Barbara. She goes, well, what that means. So Anthony comes in. He's like, okay, here I am. Long day. I'm finally okay. I argued with everybody. Now I'm calling again. She's goes, where's lunch? And he's like, God damn it. What the, bro? And he gets out of there.

[Brandy]

No, no, I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this. Everyone, everyone be careful. I'm going down to the galley, and I'm going to do the most violent thing known to man, throwing a tea towel at the refrigerator. Be careful. Give me some space.

[Jen]

He tells everybody, y' all go yourself. So he storms off and throws the towel. And Fraser's like, I told you not to say that. I literally just said. She goes, oh, I. I didn't understand what was.

[Brandy]

Barbara, these are the consequences of your actions right now. Do you understand? Do you understand what I go through? No, it's not.

[Jen]

Anthony's down there. Like, I'm going to serve you fucking lunch because it's treating me like little. I'm sick of being little bitch. Little boy can't read. Oh, really? Oh, really? I'm going to feed you dyslexia. Enjoy this dyslexia soup. So now Jess goes to chase him down, and she's like, just ignore them. They don't understand. I took my test up that auction. He's like, it's fine, it's fine. I just need to, you know, I need to have feet. And then. I'm fine. Okay. I'm fine.

[Brandy]

Yes. I just need. It'll be fine. I'll be fine. Okay. They're like, come on, come on. It's okay. It's okay. Come up. And Frieza's like, she didn't realize you were sensitive to that. She didn't know you had to make mofu. Come on. It's all right, Right? It's all right. Here. I promise that after this meeting, I'll help you shave your eyebrows even more narrow, okay? We're going full Joan Crawford today, all right? All right, I will, I will do that. I will come upstairs with you. All right. So he comes back upstairs, he's like, sorry, everyone, I freak out, I overheat, but everything is okay now. They're like, okay, jeez.

[Jen]

Meanwhile, everybody else is like, guys, let's try to guess how much tip there will be. I think a million dollars. I think it's going to be $45,000. And Carrie comes in, he's like, good news, we got money. Bad news, God, Wednesday, spent it all on crap. What a terrible season. Waste of my life. All right, listen, I want to thank everyone for working hard. Unfortunately, the guests, in their mind, they punished us for the boat not moving, which I don't think is fair because as you saw, Hugo stood on the side of the boat scratching his head for about three hours, which I think is worth something. So unfortunately we got 19 grand, which is 1461 each. Tomorrow we'll test the new controllers and the guests are coming the next day. So cheer up everybody. Tomorrow's a better day.

[Brandy]

Yeah, like, okay, well I'm going to go straight to make food and I'm sorry again for my compartment. That will not happen again. Oh, Anthony, sorry, I had to throw one more tea towel at something. And Fraser, you were the one because.

[Jen]

Barbara told me you are mean to me that one time. I'm so sick of taking to blame. So he serves this great lunch now and now everybody's like, holy. Damo's like, holy. This is great. Probably the best group food we've ever had. Amazing.

[Brandy]

Yeah, they like this, this now because he now compensates. He just needed to draw a little bit of blood and now he's like back to like making amazing lunches. So then we had this who slow mode dramatic thing where Kyle goes for some. Was that Johnny Walker that he grabbed and he starts pouring it in slow motion and then like voices in his head being like, you're almost fired. Like, oh, you're a terrible Kyle. And like consequences of your actions. And he's haunted by it all.

[Jen]

Yeah, it's like as he drinks, we see all of his horrible, horrible thoughts swirling in his mouth. So then they go to the Mimosa Lounge and Kyle is shit faced already. He probably went through that whole bottle. He's got dark eyes, he's squinting and he stands up and gives a speech. He's like, it's been a pleasure, an absolute pleasure. I'm glad I'm still with you guys. And you know, sometimes you get away with things in life and I'm really Really proud that I got away with this. I got away with something. I wasn't supposed to get away with death.

[Brandy]

He goes like, get away. That sounds guilty. He's like, but I really thought that Frasier would have really, really, you know, done me in. So here we are all together and let's have a drink together. And Fraser's like, excuse me, what did you mean by that? He's like, oh, I didn't mean anything except that you, you know, to demo. Stop pushing me down. And so demo was like, well, it wasn't F's fault, it was my fault. And. And Frasier's now mad. He's like, you know what? That's not cool. It's not cool. Let me say this in French. Je ne c' est pas bonjour, au revoir. Okay? Je parlez francais beaucoup. Stupid, shitty bitch asshole. Bonjour, au revoir.

[Jen]

And we see the subtitles and what he actually said was, God, I'm so fat. And he storms off. I'm not playing this game. And Carl's being really mean by the way. Just the way he says it. And he's got this evil look in his eye. He's really being an asshole. And when he tells them both, oh no, it's both your fault. No, Kyle, it's your fault. You got shit face. You a guest and then you told everybody you could possibly tell on national TV you're trying to get fired again. Just quit. Why do people like this always have to make it everybody else's responsibility to make them fail so you can blame everybody else and be the victim in your life. Stop doing that. If you want to quit and you want to go be a loser, then do it on your own accord. Stop making everybody else make these choices for you.

[Brandy]

You, sir.

[Jen]

Okay, if you want to be a loser, go be a loser and stop dragging everybody down with you. Fraser's already enough of an without having you drag him down more.

[Brandy]

And also, again, it's your fault. And you're going to pretend like you're what you're. What you're really showing is that you don't want to take. You don't take accountability. So everything that you said to Captain Kerry was also bullshit. Which means that, you know, last week your whole thing was that the choice was either that you cross the line with the guest or you are full of bullshit. And we thought the was bad enough that you should be fired, but now you're also. Now you're just compounding the by lying about being accountable about the bullshit. You said anyway. Which we all we think is a lie anyway. So the point is that you're just like shit. You're just like garbage.

[Jen]

So, like, yeah, you're acting like garbage. You need to cut that shit off. And Fraser's like, I'm pissed. If anyone needs to be held accountable, it's still now, please, I will not be villainized. Please get these cameras away, please. And Jess goes over to him and she's like, yes, please, we don't want cameras anywhere near us on this television show about drama. Please keep the cameras away. No, ma'. Am. You've gotten away with an entire season of people over and you've got an entire charter where you didn't have to do dick except complain about stuff and make out. You don't get to tell the people who have actually been on their feet working to go away. That's not your thus. No, no, no, no.

[Brandy]

You don't get to do that. So go away and. But at the same time, these are the consequences of Carl's actions on Fraser. So please, cameras go away. Please. Please don't show spoiler like this. I mean, Fraser like this. Fraser is a spoiler of himself.

[Jen]

All right, well, that brings us to the end of Below dick, everybody. How you feeling?
