Episode Overview

This episode is a continuation (Part 2) of Ben and Ronnie’s hilarious, no-holds-barred recap of Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10, Episode 5.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Love Triangle Gears Up

Time: 02:52–04:21

• Joe meets V and Kizzy, both of whom show instant interest. V calls Joe “handsome” and Kizzy “stunning.”
• Joe reminisces about getting into love triangles in past seasons and promises (unconvincingly) to "try and behave."
  • Ronnie (as narrator): “Nope, he will not try and behave. He is going to get into another love triangle because that's how people like Joe operate.” (03:42)
  • Kizzy seems smitten (“Kizzy’s in love”), all while Joe plays the “I’m such trouble” card.

---

2. Storm Drama and Docked Charter

Time: 04:21–05:51, 13:43–14:48

• Captain Sandy anxiously monitors a major storm and opts to keep the yacht at the dock, to the (mock) horror of the crew.
  • Ben (as Sandy): “If we go off the dock, everybody will be scared for their lives and seasick and we'll probably all die. So we're just going to play it safe and stay on the dock.” (04:21)
  • Ronnie jokes about “having to enjoy a day in Barcelona, a city that not many people know about worldwide and barely even want to visit.”
• Sandy tries to break the news gently to guests, making awkward use of an Ibiza storm video (and accidentally, a video featuring Norma).
  • Ben (joking): “Oh, that's Norma. Sorry, wrong video.” (14:18)

---

3. The Guest Preference Sheet From Hell

Time: 05:16–07:47, 16:47–18:27

• The crew review the notoriously difficult preference sheet for the new charter—led by Ladonna (“like Madonna—God, I love her music”), with “too many opinions and no bread allowed.”
• Two guests, Candace and Carlos, are vegan and "demand creativity from the chef."
  • Ben: “First rule of vegans: don't look them in the eye. Keep at least five feet away, and if they look at you, just throw yourself up against the wall.” (05:51)
• The actual sheet is absurdly detailed and contradictory, asking for “creativity,” “no bread,” seafood, and every possible superfood—then the guests proceed to complain about everything served (salads, fresh seafood, etc.).
• Ronnie (reading sheet): “They want fried chickpeas, nuts, sweet potato chips, creative vegetable chips, yogurt dips, lobster, crab, fresh caught fish, fresh tuna, lamb, less starch... so they're given all this healthy food and immediately start bitching.” (18:27)

---

4. Chaos in the Galley: Vegan Slumped

Time: 08:36–09:44, 15:59–20:42, 22:12–24:41, 32:20–36:43

• Chef Josh is instantly overwhelmed by impossible requests and contradictions.
  • The vegan guest, Carlos (Los), complains non-stop, first about receiving a salad, then about “lettuce in a tortilla,” then about lack of “minerals” and “greens, but not salads.”
  • Ronnie: “He’s not only going to be a vegan, he’s going to be an extremely picky, even vegan... You can’t just serve me vegetables. What the fuck does that even mean?” (20:42)
  • Josh, sensing a breakdown, reflects on the time he lived in a “vegan clown commune”—for better or worse, nothing prepared him for this.
  • At dinner, despite delivering a huge and creative spread (vegan and non-vegan mashed potatoes, vegan pasta, tomato beet salad with pomegranate, etc.), Carlos still complains: “Look, my plate is all full of starch. You know, there’s nothing healthy for me. Like, I like greens, you know, like stuff with minerals, and this is filling, but my body’s not getting what it needs.” (33:54)
• Josh, spiraling: “I'm only one person. I made so much food for one person. And they're expecting way too much... fuck all of you. Fuck all of you.” (36:53)
• The hosts theorize that production orchestrated this vegan charter to ensure a meltdown.

---

5. Guests & Crew Slack Off, Seeds of Drama

Time: 10:28–13:43

• Joe and Nathan are “running around on deck... bonking heads and giggling,” while Max is left to haul all the luggage—planting seeds of resentment.
• A keyboard/Casio piano mysteriously appears in the crew mess, prompting Ben’s story about show-off reality contestants and failed attempts at serenading women.

---

6. Crew Excursion in the Gothic Quarter

Time: 27:58–30:31

• Joe and Vee lead the guests through Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter.
• Joe alternates between his Liverpool accent and fluent Spanish, impressing everyone—except cranky Carlos, who grumbles: “Do you guys have anything newer here? Really not into stonework.” (29:51)
• Joe and Vee are so distracted by their flirting—with whole conversations in Spanish—that they barely pay attention to the guests.

---

7. Excursion Aftermath & Carlos’ Vegan Rage Peaks

Time: 32:44–36:43

• Back on the boat, dinner is a hit—except for Carlos. He fixates on “minerals,” wants “greens but not salads,” and finally precipitates Chef Josh's walkout.
• Ronnie and Ben riff on the impossibility of being such a demanding vegan, and how production must secretly love watching Josh break down.
• Ronnie: “He needs to feel important and he doesn't.” (38:39)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Ben (on vegan guest demands):
  "First rule of vegans: Don't look them in the eye. Keep at least five feet away, and if they look at you, just throw yourself up against the wall." (05:51)
• Ronnie (on Josh’s mental state):
  "No one who's like, 'Oh, I'm a hippie, I'm into meditation, and I'm also a clown.' That's not going to crack. We know his ass is going to crack... They probably moved this charter up so we can have a better season nervous breakdown." (24:20)
• Ben (on moving through Barcelona):
  "Carlos is somehow, like, is disgusted that he gets to walk around this, like, world city that people dream of being able to visit someday, me included. And he's like, 'Stupid old architecture. I hate this.'" (29:51)
• Ronnie (mocking Carlos): "As vegans, you have to put a lot more thought into the architecture that we have to look at." (29:56)
• Josh (actually in-show): "I'm only one person. I made so much food for one person. And they're expecting way too much, you know? And he's like, fuck all of you. Fuck all of you." (36:53)
• Ben (on Carlos): "He's not only going to be a vegan, he's going to be an extremely picky, even vegan... You can't just serve me vegetables. What the fuck does that even mean?" (20:42)
• Ronnie (on the self-proclaimed peaceful types): "Of course, it's always the people who present, like, they are at inner peace, all about peace and happiness, who are the most obnoxious and angry people of all." (26:15)

Tone and Style

Ben and Ronnie’s take is irreverent, delightfully snarky, and unfiltered. While they roast both crew and guests (and each other), there’s an undercurrent of affection for the show's lunacy. The hosts' impressions (Captain Sandy, complaining guests), tangents about vegan cults and reality show antics, and spot-on Bravo reality insight make for consistently sharp and funny listening.

If you're wondering where part one was, well, go check in the feed and be sure to subscribe. So that way you always get your episodes. But enough of that, let's get right back into the episode.

[Brandi]

So now Joe meets V and the music gets like and V's like, oh, hi. She's like, dang, they finally brought someone on board. He's really handsome. She's a stunning human. And Nathan's like, oh, Joe's in trouble. Joe's in trouble. Meeting V and so they get a double kiss, and she loved it. And now we find. Now Joe finds out that Kizzy has a boyfriend.

[Sully]

So.

[Brandi]

But Kizzy comes in now, and now both of them like him. They're like, wow, Gold's really hot.

[Sully]

She's gorgeous as well. I'm in trouble. It was super tough last season with the love triangles that I got in Brie and Ellie. Oh. But I'm gonna try and behave, which means. Nope, he will not try and behave. He is going to get into another love triangle because that's how people like Joe operate.

[Brandi]

Yeah. So now let's see. Kizzy's in love, and now we see Captain Sandy talking to herself. And she's like, oh, God. Oh, God. The storm's looking bad. It's coming right towards us. It's coming right towards us. How we're gonna die. This is one of those moments where I wish we had Captain what's the guy from last season from the regular below deck? What's his name? Carrie Glenn. Oh, yeah, Captain Carrie. So he could be like, the storm is coming. We could all die within moments. Let's see what happens. I miss his fatalistic approach.

[Sully]

Okay, let me tell everyone about this storm. Okay. The storm wraps around it, so it's like it creates a washbowl effect, which with these swells. Okay, Now, I know that concept of washbowl is far into Norma, but for everyone else, I think you understand what it is, and it's just crazy. I mean, the last thing I want to do as a captain is remain on the dock when a charter client boards. But if we go off the dock, everybody will be scared for their lives and seasick and we'll probably all die. So we're just going to play it safe and stay on the dock. I mean, God forbid you have to enjoy a day in Barcelona, a city that not many people know about worldwide and barely even want to visit. So, gosh, it's gonna be a tough day for them, huh?

[Brandi]

So now we see Joe and Nathan running around on deck. They're like. It's just like the bromance. Like they're bonking heads and giggling and hosing each other down in bikini tops. It's really cute. And then now it's time to meet for preference sheet meetings. Okay.

[Sully]

By the way, I just want to say, staff wide preference sheet meeting. No longer two little groups. Just want to point that out. I noticed. I was happy.

[Brandi]

Staff wide, everybody. Staff wide. Okay. This is a staff wide infection. Okay? And no, this wasn't one of Norma's Doctors. Okay. It's an actual call to a meeting. Okay. Eight clients for the next charter. They seem real fun. Ladonna, like Madonna. God, I love her music. She's into commercial real estate. She loves being on the water. And I love a woman who sells homes to commercials. You know, I wonder what Doritos lives in.

[Sully]

And she has a lot of preferences. She says she likes. She does not like bread, though, or too much bread, including breading and unflavored sauces, things like that. So Captain Sandy is. She's like, oh. And she's also bringing her dear friends Alita, Chandra, Terence, Marcia, and Crystal. Oh, And Josh is like, oh, everyone, watch out. We've got two vegans on board. Okay, here's the first rule of vegans. Don't look them in the eye. Keep at least five feet away, and if they look at you, just throw yourself up against the wall. Be careful, everyone.

[Brandi]

The vegans, okay, well, Candace and her husband Carlos, that's who they are. And they demand creativity from the chef. From the chef. They demand it. Okay? So I was thinking maybe some light brights. Maybe you could make some vegan hamburgers with light bright pieces or something like that, you know? Or maybe you could knit them. Maybe you can knit them some seitan.

[Sully]

I got. I got some tempeh. I got a tempeh loom in the back. They just put the shuttle right through. And you've got, like, a lovely little carpet out of vegan foods. So.

[Brandi]

Okay, listen, go ahead.

[Sully]

Bad news. Yeah, bad news. Okay.

[Brandi]

Yeah, it's bad. Okay. There's another Captain Sandy here. Just to reiterate. It's bad. Okay, go ahead.

[Sully]

Other me. Well, unfortunately, a lot of people get worried when their clothes shrink. My. I somehow got my clothes lengthened, and my capris are just normal slacks now. So terrible news. I don't know how that happened, but we're gonna get through it.

[Brandi]

Also, there's storms coming, okay? So we can't leave to dock. Victoria, obviously this day you'll be predominantly interior. But you know what? Let's get creative. Like, the chef is gonna have to do for the vegans. Okay, so let's have Victoria shuffling spaghetti squash or juggling, rather. And then, Asha, why don't you try setting up a land excursion? Okay? Barcelona has a lot to offer. A lot to offer.

[Sully]

Yeah. So they agree that they're gonna send Joe because Joe speaks Spanish. Because we may remember from last season that Joe's actually, like, mainly Spanish. But he was, like. He was, like, born in Scotland or something. Or you know, in Liverpool. And then, I don't know, he has. He has some crazy geographical backstory, but all we need to know is that he has a grandfather that he wants to impress. And so Joe's gonna lead, be part of this excursion. And Aisha's like, I don't want to say this too early, but with these kind of naive nature, I can see her getting swept into Joe's charm very easily. And that's a wee little innocent fish and a big, bad shark.

[Brandi]

Okay, let's keep killing it. Okay, now there's gonna be a lot of extra pressure at the dock. There's a storm. We could die. There's vegans.

[Sully]

So then Sandy goes. And she. She goes up to Josh and she's like, hey, just so you know, these chargers are going to be a lot easier. Vegans are known for being pretty chill about what you serve them, so don't worry. Easy street today.

[Brandi]

Well, yeah, you know, the nuances of the vegan always add another little layer, but I've lived in a vegan community for nine months, so I get it, Sandy. Don't worry. It was a vegan community of clowns that we lived in.

[Sully]

Yes. And let me tell you something.

[Brandi]

You.

[Sully]

You know what they loved more than anything is when I talked about music and I served them burritos filled with lettuce and only lettuce. God, I'm gonna nail this charter.

[Brandi]

So, yeah, he tells us his story about living in a hippie commune. He's like, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. There was food. We were growing everything on site. We would harvest it ourselves and cook it ourselves. Even the compost from theses, we'd make soil from that. You know, ARPU is great for. So we should use it, and we're not. We flush it all away.

[Sully]

He should watch Wife Swap. So then Asia, then they're going over the menu and everything. And then he's talking about the protein he's got for the vegans. And he's got. He's just going over the stuff, like what he's got for vegans, what he's got for the non vegans. And he's like, these guest preferences, they're just so many different things going on. I feel like I'm about to shit myself. Which is great because we'll have some nice fertilizer for some plants will grow up on the bow anyway. But it's not going to work here, you know, using shit as fertilizer. I didn't realize he actually made that Joke in his dialogue. He said, I'm gonna shit myself. Which would be great for the hippie community.

[Brandi]

So Joe's now flirting with the girls in the mess and asking them about. He's like, hey, anybody want to hit up the gem? And V is like, it's, like, really hard. We don't have free time, but I'll work out with you and kiss. He's like, maybe you can. Maybe you can lift me. So he lifts her and does some curls, and they're like, oh, my God.

[Sully]

And then be is like, oh, that's interesting. Like, I'm like, yes. Let the cracks begin between V and Kizzy. Let V see that Kizzy is not a girl's girl. So wind. Oh, God, the wind. We're heading right to. We're going straight into the jaws, the monster, which is what every spoonful of potato says when they see Norma. Okay, and now it's time for the guests to come on board. Everyone, guests, get on here. Okay, hi, everyone. Get into your whites. Say hi to these guests, everyone.

[Brandi]

And someone. As the guests walk up, someone says, living life like it's golden Golden.

[Sully]

I wish they just started singing that song.

[Brandi]

Living your life like it's golden Golden. So Sandy is worried about giving news that they can't leave the dock. And now Joe is using V's shirt to clean his glasses. And we see her bra. And Kizzy's like, I'm annoyed that she's showing him her bra. And now the guests arrive.

[Sully]

Yeah, I feel like, when are these guests finally actually gonna get here? So they do arrive. People are excited. People are bringing the. The deckhands are bringing the luggage on board. And, well, Max is.

[Brandi]

And Joe and Nathan are just fucking around, having their. And now Max is having to do all the work. So we're seeing the seed being planted of resentment.

[Sully]

More seeds. Josh goes and tells the guests about the salads that they're going to be having. And. And then one of the guests is like, just so you know, Asia, we're all very, very picky, and we have diverse palates. So get ready. Meanwhile, yeah, there's more. Like, Nathan and Josh are just screwing around. They're, like, somehow, like, they're playing piano, and they get in the. In the crew mask. Like, how. How are you guys? The fact that this keyboard is out on the table right now shows that you're already failing at your. Not be anywhere. Like, there's a charter going on. No one should have. Like, there shouldn't be a piano. Like, did Joe just bring a keyboard on board with him. Why is it already unpacked in the crew mess?

[Brandi]

Yeah. Joe is that guy to be like, I brought my Casio. He's like, there was a contestant on one of those love shows like Breakup island or whatever. Whose thing was, I played the piano, and he came out on the beach with a piano that had batteries in it. And he's like, I can play anything. Girls. Yeah, that's how I get girls. And so someone's like, can you play, like, the Beatles? And he said, sure. And then he can't. He can't play anything. I'm like, why did you bring this whole. This whole piano to an island just to fail? It's so embarrassing.

[Sully]

So speaking of failures, let's talk about that weather. Okay, so Sandy comes out while they're at the table waiting for lunch, and she goes, so the weather.

[Brandi]

Yeah.

[Sully]

Well, I had a friend send me a video that's in Ibiza. And look. Oh, God, look at all those people having a great time on the beach. Oh, wrong video. Okay, who. Look, storms. Okay? We don't want to be out there during this. Right? Look at that. Look at shaky, shaky boat people puking on the side of it. No, you don't want that. Right? So you guys are all going to be seasick. So we decided we're going to stay in the dock and we'll leave tomorrow morning. I hope that's okay. So, of course, everyone's bumping.

[Brandi]

Wait a minute. Can I get a closer look at that video? Oh, sure. Here you go. This is just a big lady in a thong dusting her face with a feather dust. Oh, that's Norma. Sorry, wrong video.

[Sully]

Wait, this. Wait, this. This is supposed to be Ibiza. Yeah, it looks like it's a. Is that a. Just a dog running around in circles. Oh, is that Little Bear? I mean, Little Fish. We renamed him last week. Oh, he's so cute. Right? Well, you wouldn't want little fish to get sick, would you? So we're gonna stay in the dock?

[Brandi]

Yeah, we're going to stay here. Sorry. And they're like, that's okay. So they take that pretty well, and she's going to have them walk around Barcelona. And so then it's time to start running food. What are you going to say?

[Sully]

I think I was just going to be like, yeah, having to spend a day in Barcelona sounds like a pretty great thing. No one was complaining, by the way. I don't think anyone was complaining about going to Barcelona. The guy complained. I just was somehow just, like, having an argument. With myself. Like, hey, hey, other half of me, don't get mad. Barcelona is great.

[Brandi]

Yeah, Barcelona is great. Except that, you know, you could already be in Barcelona, but you're paying to be on a boat. But, you know, you can't do anything about the weather. Am I right? So, okay, we're going to keep monitoring the weather. I'll be in there not watching tv, not enjoying myself, not eating tubs of popcorn, listening to baby, wishing I was twirling her hair while I was watching my favorite show window. Okay, that's not what I'm going to be doing at all. So get to it, everybody. So now they're eating, there's food being run. And Josh is like, well, you could run some food if you'd stop flirting with Joe first.

[Sully]

So they bring up all this food and the guests just do not like it. Like, this is where there's like this big platter of oysters and they're like, ew, could you fry these instead, please?

[Brandi]

I can't denote these guests. They asked for vegetables, fresh seafood. And they are served tons of salads and fresh vegetables and seafood. And they're like, ew, gross.

[Sully]

And then, and then this guy Terrence is like, I want real food. And. And they basically, it's all like. It's like a light lunch of just nothing but salad. But they're all like, is this it or is there. There's another course coming? And she's like, this is it. This is all you're getting are these salads. They're like, can we have more food, please?

[Brandi]

Yeah, let me see what we can do. Okay. I think it's important to actually read this preference sheet because this is going to come into play here. So here's what we have. Favorite cuisine, Mediterranean, Thai, sushi, Indian. Okay, breakfast. Ideal lobster quiche, fruit salad, fresh olives, charred Brussels sprouts. Breakfast. Ceviche with caviar, fresh tuna lettuce, cheese wraps, lots of avocado, French waffles, omelets, beet salad jazzed with fresh mango and lime, lobster rolls, cucumber salad, fresh juice smoothie, fresh berries, honey warmed and oat milk. Let's see here. Sushi, lobster salad, ceviche, oysters, caviar, French food, creative Sn sized tuna tacos made with a vegetable as a bread. Because no bread. They don't want bread. They said that a million times in here. They want fried chicks, they want nuts, sweet potato chips, dried fruits, dried fruits, creative vegetable chips, yogurt dips, sashimi platters, lobster, crab, fresh caught fish. Fresh tuna, lamb, less starch. Everything with vegetables, fresh, local vegetables has to be organic. Things that are not organic and have too many preservatives or what we don't like. And desserts, fresh fruit, frozen or custard style. So that's their preference sheet. So they're given all this healthy food and immediately start bitching about getting all of this. All they asked for was raw fish, cooked fish, and vegetables. If you read that, that's it. And now they're going to complain the entire fucking time.

[Sully]

Yeah. And I mean, the most shocking thing was, was them asking for the. Like, the raw bar to be fried. That was because they put down oysters. I think that they. When I think in their mind, when they put down oysters, that, like, it was fried was implied. Because I think most times you say fry. I think, like, the. If you say oysters, the standard preparation is on ice on the half shell. But. And then if you want them to be fried, you say fried oysters. But I think for them, they're like, no, like, fried oyster. Like, if you say oysters, the implication is that they're fr. They were, like, horrified. And you could see Asia was like, okay, so Josh is, like, losing his mind. And those oysters go back. I mean, this. I will say, I love me a fried oyster. So I'm like. It's one of the rare times where I'm like, well, this is, like, embarrassing that you're sending back the oysters, but I also would not be mad if they were fried either. Like, I'll take them in both. Both ways.

[Brandi]

But, yeah, it's not. That's not the point. It's just that they're expecting them to be. I mean, it's just silly. It's just silly to be like, oh, yeah, you can just fry those up. That's not how that works. Like, it takes preparation. He can't get that down here in five minutes, you weirdos. So he's freaking out. And then we. Then they just start ordering things like, no, here's what we want. Instead of this right now, for lunch.

[Sully]

Right now, can we have french fries.

[Brandi]

Oysters, vegan wraps, barbecue lobster, french fries. They just start naming shit. Like, that's not how this works, you guys. There's one person down there working. You had the chance to fill out a free reference sheet, and you fucking failed. Shame on all.

[Sully]

Yeah, because French fries were not on. In fact, actually explicitly said no starches. Right? So, yeah, so now they all of a sudden want fries and everything. And then the vegan guy is like. He's like, well, I mean, just because I'm vegan doesn't mean I just want salad, okay? But apparently Josh had also made him some sort of fondue. Some sort of vegan fondue. He's like, I mean, salad is an appetizer just like everyone else. It's one of those things where. Where he's like, I want to have a very specific diet, but I also. I want to be just like everyone else.

[Brandi]

Well, he wants to be a pain in the ass with his diet, but he wants to be a pain in the ass within his pain in the ass diet. You know, he's like, I'm not only going to be a vegan, I'm going to be an extremely picky, even vegan. So I'm not only going to be a vegan, but you can't just serve me vegetables. What the fuck does that even mean? Like, I don't. I just don't understand it. So he's like, I need to teach this chef how to think like a vegan, because he's not thinking right. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Grappens commercial. It's okay not to be perfect with finances.

[Sully]

So then Josh is. He's basically telling. He's telling Asia. Oh, my God, these guys can be tough. So then Carlos, also known as Los, he is still complaining. And it looks like at one, I think, that Carlos basically has. I think Josh made him some sort of like. Like, lettuce in a tortilla situation. Is that what it was? Was it like a lettuce taco or.

[Brandi]

Like a lettuce wrap? Which is what she specifically asked for.

[Sully]

She. Oh, she asked for a lettuce wrap?

[Brandi]

Yeah. She said she doesn't want anything in bread. She only wants things in lettuce wraps.

[Sully]

Oh, geez. Well, he does not seem happy with it. Yeah.

[Brandi]

So now Nathan's talking to Joe, and they're talking about Kizzy. Is Joe gonna try and get with Kizzy? And he's like, well, she's not single, is she? But she's cute. And now V intercepts Carlos, and he's like, I want to talk to the chef. So he has a wrap that Josh made, which, by the way, was specifically requested on that preference.

[Sully]

I think the lettuce wrap is like, the wrap. The lettuce is the wrap. This was literally a tortilla with lettuce in it, which I think is different.

[Brandi]

Oh, okay. I don't want a wrap made.

[Sully]

I don't want to defend this guy. This. This guy is a nightmare. But I do think you're right, though.

[Brandi]

It did look like in my memory, it was like a burrito, some kind of a wrap. Even complain about the bread. Yeah, he's not there to complain about the bread. And this was a big wrap too, and it looked like it had been grilled or something. It didn't look like a low effort. I can't even believe I'm sticking up for the chef so much, except that I know this guy's just being a bitch to be a bitch, because he's in there and he's.

[Sully]

Yeah, and he's a dick.

[Brandi]

Go ahead.

[Sully]

No, I'm gonna say he's a dick.

[Brandi]

You go.

[Sully]

But I'm gonna say, I'm setting the tone. I want everyone to know, yeah, he's a dick.

[Brandi]

So he goes in there and he's like, yeah, well, we're gonna be here a couple of days, and since I'm vegan, you know, you know, we need a little more thought put into our food. Like, we'd like more peppers and onions and cucumber and salt and pepper.

[Sully]

He's like, yeah. So one thing that we like as vegans is we just like more flavor. So, like, I don't know if that's something you do for other people, but for vegans, that's what we like as vegans. I was like, oh, gosh, shush. So then Josh is like, don't worry. Tonight I've got a big spread. You're gonna be good to be all sorts of stuff. So then Carlos, like, walks out, and he throws out his little lettuce wrappy thing, and, you know, he's just like, josh is just starting to spiral now.

[Brandi]

Yeah. So then Josh is immediately freaking out, which is great. So I think they brought these people on just to freak out Josh, because we all knew that Josh was going to crack. There's no one who's like, oh, I'm a hippie. I'm into meditation, and I'm also a clown. That's not going to crack. We know his ass is going to crack. They probably moved this charter up and was like, you know what? Let's torture him with the vegans and make him crack so we can have a better season. Nervous breakdown. Nervous breakdown.

[Sully]

When I flew out. When I flew out here on Saturday, I was at security, and you'll be happy to know my bag got pulled. My little carry on. I was like, Ronnie would be so proud. But before they could, like, inspect it.

[Brandi]

Because I'm always the one pulled.

[Sully]

Yes. And before they could inspect it, though, there was a lady there who had, like, I guess in her carry on, she'd had some sort of, like. Kind of like some sort of special butter. And she had these different, like, powders and mixes and grains. It's like all sorts of hippie stuff. So they of course, like, pulled it to inspect it, and they're like, ma', am, we need to frisk you. And she was being so resistant, and she kept like, oh, God. And she like, like, ma', am, you need to put your. Your hands out. And she would, like, look away. And like, ma', am, you need to put your hands out. And then she looked the other way, and they're like, ma'.

[Brandi]

Am.

[Sully]

And then she finally put her hands out, like, so then frisking like, ma', am, I need you to separate your legs. She's like. And then, of course, to punish her, they frisked her extra hard. They, like. They first are, like, five times over. But I just love. That's like, this lady carrying all, like, the hippie stuff, like, the. This is what's good for your body. This is what's to make your life better. Like, I'm just gonna be more thoughtful, like, with being a total, total obnoxious person in terms of just like, just move it along, man. And it's just that thing. It's like, of course, it's always the people who present, like, they are, like, at inner peace, all about peace, and, like, happiness, who are the most obnoxious and angry people of all.

[Brandi]

Yeah. Because the people who are really peaceful don't need to, like, beat you over the head with it, you know?

[Sully]

That's right.

[Brandi]

They just do it. They're not like. It's like, you know, it's like people who are overly religious, but then they're the most evil people because they're trying to beat it. You know, it's like, oh, my God, look how religious I am. I have the biggest crucifix on the block. And it's like, oh, my God, you're the Asshole from the HOA who's going to make my life a living hell. Aren't you? You know, you just see it. Exactly. So.

[Sully]

So Josh makes a huge mistake here. He makes a huge mistake because now, because lunch wasn't so great, he decides he's gonna be proactive and he's gonna ask. He's gonna ask Ladonna and her friends, like, what should I make for dinners? That way there's not another issue. But this is a mistake, because whenever chefs do this, guests always start, like, do. It's like a. They go crazy. It's like 10 times worse than what happened earlier at lunch. Now they just pick anything that they want to eat ever in their lives and say, make this for dinner.

[Brandi]

It's like asking a little kid what they want for Christmas, you know? And they're like a car, a spaceship, a giraffe, and then they get a Lego, and they have to be happy with it, you know? And that's how they're acting. It's like, what do you guys want to eat? Okay, well, I think, you know. Okay, potatoes. Which starts. It starts okay, right? It's like, mashed potatoes would be good. Okay.

[Sully]

But they said no starches.

[Brandi]

Yeah, they said no starches. Maybe some fries? Pasta. What about pasta? Fish. Chicken wings? Fried chicken wings. Risotto. Snapper. And he's like, oh, God, I've got to write this down.

[Sully]

He's like, I really want to rebound off of lunch, but now they're giving me every single food group in the planet. Like, how am I going to put this on one menu? The menus at the Cheesecake Factory are shorter than what these women are asking for.

[Brandi]

Yeah. So what time do they want dinner? 9:30, which is good. So at least he has some time. And so he just goes back to the kitchen and screams, you know? So now excursion time. So they're gonna shoot. Captain Sandy announces they're going to the Gothic area. She's like, you know, listen, these kids are dressed all in black and have piercings and God knows where, but, you know, they're nice. At the end of the day, they're real nice kids. So we're going to the goth area.

[Sully]

Okay. Do you guys like the Cure? Because you're gonna go to the Cure Museum of Barcelona. Okay, great. Do you guys watch the Craft? They're doing a Screening at around 7pm if you wanna watch that. We love the goth area.

[Brandi]

So Joe and Vee are gonna be the ones who go with the guests. And so they go in the van together and they're like, he.

[Sully]

Hee hee. Ah, ah, ah.

[Brandi]

They're, like, giggling and totally into each other. And now Sandy comes up to Kizzy and asks about the lunch and, you know, the picky guests and stuff. And she's like, you know, Josh has just got to give them what they want. Okay? You got to learn what they want. Josh, he's like, yeah, that was a little annoying, to be honest. And he just walks off. He's already breaking.

[Sully]

So they're walking around Barcelona, and it's very nice. And Joe is speaking Spanish, which is cool, just because it's weird to hear his, like, Liverpoolian accent and then, like, switching to Spanish, and it's like, not what you expect. And everyone loves the architecture. Everyone's having a nice time, except for Carlos the vegan. And he's like. Like, he's somehow, like, is disgusted that he gets to walk around this, like, world city that people dream of being able to visit someday, me included. And he's like, stupid old architecture. I hate this.

[Brandi]

Do you guys have anything newer here? Really not into stonework.

[Sully]

So as vegans, you have to put a lot more thought into the architecture that we have to look at. Yeah.

[Brandi]

Back on the boat, Nathan is talking to Kizzy about Joe, and Kizzy thinks he's beautiful, but she's got a man. Okay, guys. So, you know, but she didn't realize till she was here until how sex is really an important part of a relationship. And he's like, so you're horny is what you're saying. That's what you're saying. She's like, so now Joe is still giving a tour, and now we move to the section where Vee and Joe just start ignoring the guests and talking to each other in Spanish. The guest recall.

[Sully]

Yeah.

[Brandi]

Okay, well, I know, right?

[Sully]

They're just talking. Yeah. About, like, where she's from and hair and eyebrows. And he's saying he gets them from his granddad, who I love. Ah. I would shave them, but I don't want to make me granddad upset. I do it for my granddad. So, yeah, he's really into her. He's like, oh, we've got Victoria. Where's just this lioness. The eyes where she stares into your soul. And then he got Kizzy. Gorgeous little pocket rocket. You can just pop into your shirt and go, like, okay, sure.

[Brandi]

Nathan and Joe. Nathan and Kizzy are still talking about Joe. And Nathan tells Kizzy that Joe likes her. He likes a bit of her, and she's like, a bit of me. He goes, yeah, he Likes a bit of you. She goes, well, what can I say? So Joe's like, oh, I'm just so worried about getting into another love triangle like last season. Yeah. Have you seen these girls on the boat? Oh, God, I'm totally fucked. You know that, don't ya? Don't ya?

[Sully]

Yeah. Predictable. So now it's 7:25pm and it's getting windy, it's getting rainy. So the guests head back to the boat, and they come on board and it's all wet, and they're moving the dinner inside because it's wet outside and everything. And Carlos is really hungry, and he. He tells V he's not nice when he's hungry. I'm like, spoiler alert. I'm not sure you're nice when you're full either. Yeah.

[Brandi]

So Aisha greets them with jello shots, and he's like, no, that's made out of, like, elephant tusks or whatever or elephants. And she's like, oh, oh. But she doesn't go, make him another shot, which I think is so funny.

[Sully]

She's just like, oh, all right.

[Brandi]

Enjoy your shotless afternoon then.

[Sully]

I feel like if you are someone who is very surly when you're hungry, I feel like veganism is maybe not the great. The best path for you. Just gonna put that out there. So now Josh is like, he's going through what they're gonna have for dinner. So he's got corn, steak, fish, vegan mashed potatoes, vegan pasta, tomato beet salad with cucumber, pomegranate chicken, delicious bread.

[Brandi]

He's also got regular mashed, but he's got mashed potatoes that are vegan and regular mashed potatoes, which is crazy. Yeah. So someone wanted tartar sauce, so he has that as well. He's got garlic mushroom for the vegan, so Asia's like, wow, he's pushing himself even harder. But I don't think that's sustainable, you know? But Godspeed. So now, let's see. They're 12 miles out. It's all rain. But guess what, guys? It's past us now. It's past us.

[Sully]

Yeah. So, hey, let's have a moment where Nathan can show V how to throw a line. And so V throws a line, and she does it so well. Holy shit. This girl has been hiding out of laundry this entire time. She knows her knots, she knows her lines. She's willing to listen, she's willing to learn. Why did you have to hide her away for so long?

[Brandi]

Yeah. So now the chef is still losing it. Because the guys are so stressful. And Asha offers Carlos a salad, and he says no. So Josh comes to check on them, and they're like, wow, good. You worked hard tonight. Good job. So he seems safe on this one.

[Sully]

It does, right?

[Brandi]

Seems so. Then everybody seems to have loved the food. So then Carlos is like, well, it's all right. But I mean, look, my plate is all full of starch. You know, there's nothing healthy for me. Like, I like greens, you know, like stuff with minerals, and this is filling, like, but my body's not getting what it needs.

[Sully]

Do you not understand what a tomato beet salad is? Like, do you not understand how many minerals are in a beet? Beets have so much in them. You literally have tomato beets. Like, but it's, again, it's not up to Josh to provide you with, like, your nutritional intake. Like, he's saying, like, this is. These are your options.

[Brandi]

I mean, your point of him serving him beets. I mean, he is providing him nutritional intake. This guy's just an idiot. Like, everything that came out looked really healthy and delicious. And this guy's like, no. And so they're like, well, what would you want? He goes, greens, but not salads. He doesn't count the mushrooms because I guess they're not a green vegetable. So he doesn't count that as a vegetable.

[Sully]

They're not starches either. But I just want to point out mushrooms are not starches either. Right? Like, I just. I just think that if you were to go to. If you went to, like, an Italian restaurant and you had like a tasting, and let's say you got some. Let's say you got a three course meal in Italian restaurant and the first dish was some sort of, like, antipasti. Like, let's say it was some, like, let's say it's crostini with a bruschetta. Let's just. Let's just say it's a bruschetta. You get a bruschetta. Second course, you get some sort of pasta, like, some sort of anuloti with some sort of, like, vodka. So this is sort of basic Italian, let's say. And then for your third course, it's like a. Like a branzino. Hey, and then maybe a tiramisu for dinner, for dessert. Do you not say, well, this is all garbage, because they didn't provide me my minerals, they didn't provide any greens to go along with this. And therefore I'm not. I'm like, I don't feel like I'm doing good things for my body. You don't say that. You say, like, this was the menu. This is. Of course, I went to an Italian restaurant. This is what I got. And for my next meal, I think maybe I'll have a salad or something to give me, like, whatever I need. But, like, you don't. The meal itself is what the meal is, and it's not the chef's obligation to hit all your basic food groups and to do your food pyramid, which I don't even think even is. I think that's an outdated model anyway. But it's just, like. It's such a ridiculous demand, and so it's so ridiculous to be angry about it when this is just what is being served. It's one thing if they didn't tend to your dietary needs in terms of, like, you don't eat meat or you have an allergy, but you cannot blame the chef because you had certain nutritional benchmarks you were personally aspiring to hit.

[Brandi]

Yeah, it's ridiculous. I mean, this guy's just ridiculous. And, you know, if you're a vegan, guess what? Your plate is gonna consist mostly, of course, starches. That's all that's left. You've got starches. And you guys, you've got your veggies. I mean, that's really all that's left, sir.

[Sully]

Yeah. I literally just bought a vegan cookbook, and I thought I was being so clever because I'm like, I'm not doing carbs this month. And I look. Oh, everything in it is like, starch, starch, starch, carb, carb, carb, starch.

[Brandi]

Yeah. I mean, if you're not going to be eating meat, that's what's left, right? Unless you're just gonna solely have green vegetables, you know? So then we go. Josh is now freaking out, and he's like, this isn't cool. I'm only one person. I made so much food for one person. And they're expecting way too much, you know? And he's like, fuck all of you. Fuck all of you. So he gets his shoes on, and he's gonna go take a walk. And he's like, I'm gonna lose my shit. I'm gonna lose my shit. Oh, God. And so he just storms off the boat, and they're like, oh, my God, where is he going? And he just leaves. So someone at the table is like, yeah, our friend needs his vegetables, so can you get the chef to make him some vegetables? And now he's gone. So now they're calling him to Try and make some vegetables and he's out of there. And then we just see lightning in the sky.

[Sully]

And I guarantee that Joshua, like steam some broccoli or something. And then Carlos can be like steam. So, you know, you lose so many nutrition nutrients this way. Steaming, you don't get to routine.

[Brandi]

Blah, blah.

[Sully]

It's gonna be a whole thing. Next episode.

[Brandi]

Who wants to just eat broccoli? You know, it's gonna be.

[Sully]

Yeah, it's gonna be like that.

[Brandi]

I mean, I will say vegan for one week because you sound like you don't really understand what it is or what it entails, sir.

[Sully]

And again, like, there is a way to really elevate vegan food and make it interesting and exciting more than just steaming some broccoli or like putting out a salad a hundred percent. But like, this guy is like, looks like Josh put out actually a quite a nice spread. And then this guy is the, like, he's not, this guy is now not complaining about the quality of the food. He's complaining about really like what he wants in his, like in his diet. And it's, it's ridiculous. And you're not even the primary.

[Brandi]

Yeah. He needs to feel important and he doesn't.

[Sully]

Yeah. So, yeah.

[Brandi]

Watch out, everybody. Watch out. Well, this has been below deck Mediterranean. We will be back tomorrow with a double header of Wife Swap and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
