We do. We do love. We love a lot.

[C]

We love hard. We love hard.

[D]

We love hard. We love long.

[C]

Unlike the people on this show. Below Deck. Here we are with Below Deck, the penultimate episode of the season. At least I think.

[D]

Yes, yes.

[C]

This is Below Deck, Season 10, Below Deck Med. To be more specific, Season Season 10, Episode 17, A Bubble Trouble.

[D]

Bubble Trouble. Why is it called Bubble Trouble?

[C]

Because that girl filled her bath water too much with bubbles and left Tanner.

[D]

All over that name.

[C]

And they didn't want Slob Wives.

[D]

I'm assuming that's Slob Wives is better. Stab. Bubble Trouble is bad. That was like one second of the entire show and they named the entire episode Bubble Trouble. I say no. And if you're going to call it Bubble Trouble, I would say call it Bubble Bobble. For those of us who are of a certain age who played that game a lot in the 80s.

[C]

Yeah, bubble boil in Trouble. What isn't that.

[D]

Or just like, get Shakespearean with it? Just call it Hamnet.

[C]

Even though I said it wrong.

[D]

Call the episode Hamnet.

[C]

What is Hamnet about?

[D]

I haven't seen it, but it's basically Shakespeare. Shakespeare has a child. Shakespeare loses the child and then puts that energy into writing and it's like, oh, really?

[C]

That's what it is. Why is it called Hamnet, though?

[D]

What is apparently. Apparently, like, the name Hamnet and Hamlet were like interchangeable names. I think the child's name is Hamnet. I don't know. This is just what I got from the trailer, but I know it's like a 10 hanky special and I'm probably going to watch it just so I can.

[C]

It should have been about the thing that they wrap hams in that you have to cut the nets that they wrap rap Hamzen. Why isn't it. Why isn't it about that? There's a movie I'd pay to go see. Who invented that?

[D]

I agree. I maybe we should recap Hamnet. That would be actually very funny. Like, and then Shakespeare thinks he's so great because he wrote a play. We would probably be so obnoxious recapping that. That movie, but it's supposed to be great. And I love Chloe Zhao, the director, mainly because I love Nomadland. I didn't see the Eternals, not planning to see it. I just want to see movies that. Where she makes me cry. And I feel like Hamnet will do that for me. So I'm gonna wait for a private moment, and I will watch it alone. And I will sob into a pillow, masturbate.

[C]

Here we are, bubble trouble. We start where we ended, with drama over chicken nuggets. The best kind of saved the season for me. I'm not gonna lie. This chicken nugget thing really saved it for me.

[D]

Fiasco. Yeah. Flying chicken nuggets, half eaten, meant for a different purpose. Using them to get in the way of a conversation.

[C]

Max was just trying to give his love to Cassie and tell Cassie maybe it is our time to get married. And she got upset about chicken nuggets being thrown at her and ran down to yell at the people who were throwing her chicken nuggets, as is her right. And then Max is now basically crying because she chose chicken nuggets over him. And let me just say, as a vegetarian, I would choose chicken nuggets over you.

[D]

Yeah, Yeah, I would, too. I would 100% do that. But let's also not forget the other element of this, which is that they were her chicken nuggets that she was waiting for and she was starving. And they finally arrive, and those two dipshits, Nathan and Joe, start throwing them at her. So, of course she has be livid. I would be livid. Of course she's going to stop whatever conversations she's having and go down there and yell at the guys. I don't know why Max thinks it's such a privilege to receive, you know, his invitation to be his boyfriend. Like.

[C]

Like, we didn't see that was coming. You know, it's so. But here's the thing. I left the recap last week, and I thought about it deeply, as I do below deck. You know, I thought about it, I worried about it. I wondered about it, that what are those guys doing right now? And one thing I thought is, you know, I really like Kathy. I've been stumping for Kathy this whole time. Love her. Great, Great choice. Still love her. I don't hate her now. I love her. But I will tell you, I did start to wane because Kathy was really, really mean to something that I. To someone. I just. It upset me. And that person is Big Mac. Big Mac is A viable food source. Like, that's a good. That's a pretty solid choice to be left with. I know it's not what you ordered. I'm not saying, like, you shouldn't. You should be happy with somebody throwing chicken nuggets, but to diss a Big Mac like you're doing is unfucking acceptable. Check yourself.

[D]

Love a Big Mac. You know, poor Mac the night, sitting there on his moon. Well, he has the moon, but he's, like, on his piano. He's just trying to enjoy the evening. And she's basically spitting in that. That moon man's face. And it's just not right.

[C]

She is. And it's not cool. So now she's going, thank you for.

[D]

Speaking truth to power right now, by the way.

[C]

That was really important. Acting like, oh, Big Macs, gross. No, Big Macs are not gross. They're like the life force of this country. Some fucking respect, woman. Have some fucking respect. Yeah. So Max is all upset and pouting because he's been dissed for chicken nuggets. So Kathy finally get, kind of gets over it and comes back to him and lightly kicks him on the butt, like, okay, hi, I'm back. And she's like, don't be mad at me. He's like, I'm not talking to you, and. Because I talk to you, and you speak to Nugget. So then I'm out of the conversation. Enjoy your conversation with Chicken Nugget, sir.

[D]

You petted a jellyfish and then touched your eye. Okay. When we're talking about judgment call, you're failing on this category. I'm sorry. I will take Kathy talking to speaking to Nuggets first. Before you pet a jellyfish, do the two things have anything to do with each other? No, but I just want to point out a massive flaw in your personality, too, and just say, like, you're not perfect. You're actually. You're an idiot. Actually, what I really want to do is point out that Kathy is so far above you, she has a whole comic strip written about her where all she does is ask for chocolate. And that's still more entertaining than anything you've done on this show. So just be happy that she gave you any of that time before she went off to her nuggets.

[C]

Exactly. And she's like, whatever. So he's like, oh, whatever. Bon appetit. Okay, so he's all upset, and he's like, oh, I thought we were so special. Meant to be, but I need stability with the people that come into my heart. All this roller coaster of emotion changing how I'm feeling with Scassi and I. Sir, if you can't handle a chicken and nugget battle, then you. What kind of man are you going to be to marry or be with in a relationship? The second anything goes wrong, you're out there crying and making everything about you and you need to be standing up for the woman who just got robbed of chicken nuggets.

[D]

That's exactly right. And let's also not forget that her stepfather died like three days prior. It feels like it was like two months ago, but in real time, it was like three days ago. So, like, let her have her nuggets and don't shame her for it. In fact, why don't you just give her. Hold. Hold some space for her anyway. You know, just shut up.

[C]

And maybe don't try to have a relationship, like come after somebody and nag them for a relationship when they're telling you they don't want a relate. She's told you a million times, don't rush this. I don't want this rushed. Stop making it more serious than it needs to be. So you're already failing on that end and you're trying to force somebody into a commitment when they're relying on you right after a family death. It's just. You're gross, okay? You're gross.

[D]

Just stop it. To quote Taylor Dane, the great Taylor Dane, who looks not unlike some of the charter members this episode, don't rush me. I've made that mistake before. Yeah, don't rush me.

[C]

Don't.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Taylor doesn't get enough credit for all the points that she had.

[D]

She gets no credit whatsoever. And she.

[C]

Or is the great, you know, as the great Black Eyed Peas once said. Shut up. Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up.

[D]

As. As. As the. As the great Kathy Tricoli once sang, everything changes. Everything changes. As the great Jennifer Page once sang, it's just a little crush. Don't mean anything that's. We don't need. The quote just ends there for me. And that's something you should know, Max. It's just a little crush. Yeah.

[C]

So Kathy goes back to her room while he goes off to pout in his room. And V is like, how was your chat? Yeah, like, how was it? She's like, oh, God. Like, it was fine until Joe and Nathan chucked chicken nuggets at me. After 30 minutes of max talking, I got distracted, you know, but you can't be annoyed at me for such a Little thing. I mean, God was talking, talking, talking. I just welcomed the chicken nuggets, honestly. Actually, it saved me. Thank you. Thank you. Broken chicken nuggets in my face. God, that man won't shut up.

[D]

Yeah, seriously, I would be so grateful for that. So now it's the. Now it's the morning. We do see a half eaten chicken nugget floating in the dark Barcelona waters. Some fish is gonna have quite the treat, I would have to say. I. I have a mind to go get some chicken nuggets after this recap. I'm not. I'm whipping myself into a frenzy at the moment. I'm trying to eat healthy. And honestly, all I can think about is chicken nuggets at the moment. I just want to fish in Barcelona, you know?

[C]

That's why you're thinking about them, because you're trying to eat healthy. And that's what happens. You try and eat healthy and then Roy Crocker's in your head, like, come on down to McDonald's making fresh chicken nuggets. Yeah, I'm not a chicken nuggets person. I'm a McDonald's person. Wasn't it Roy Crocker? Did I get the name wrong?

[D]

I don't know who Roy Crocker is, but I trust you on this one.

[C]

I think he invented McDonald's. Who invented.

[D]

It was Taylor Danes. Shut up.

[C]

Just shut up. Shut up. Oh, it was inspired by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald. Okay. Oh, Roy Crock was his name. Yeah. Businessman Roy Kroc. Ray Kroc took it from Richard and I guess bought it and then turned it into what we know today. Thank you, Roy Kroc. Kroc Donalds. Thank you, Kroc Donald's.

[D]

And then from there he went and made shoes. And I'm like, wow, does this guy stop inventing things? Wow. He is just an influencer.

[C]

Made out of the same material, probably the chicken nuggets are made out of. I mean, look at that.

[D]

He should be on Shark Tank, the Taylor Dane of inventors. So it's the morning people waking up and Nathan texts Gail and she's like, good morning. I know you're checking on me, but I'm still in Barcelona. I didn't make a run for it, which is great.

[C]

And get off my ass, stalker. Because he's still texting her every five minutes. Like, are you coming? Are you coming to my sister's wedding? It's a big deal to get that kind of an invite from me. Like, shut up. Like, leave me alone.

[D]

Everyone wants to go to my sister's wedding because if it doesn't work out, I'll lose faith and rely on chops and sabotage for the rest of my life.

[C]

What if my sister quits her job and then she. She's not friends in the office with. The people that I've become friends in the office with won't believe in relationships anymore.

[D]

My sister said that she tried to order a bacon egg bite on the Starbucks app and were sold out. I've lost all faith in relationships now.

[C]

Do you remember when you ghosted me? Could you do it again? You're making me crazy. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappin's commercial.

[D]

The new year is here. Get back into an at home routine you love and elevate your space with Wayfair.

[D]

I know. I cannot wait to refresh my living room with some accent pill. Maybe some faux plants. I'm in my faux plant era. Like, I'm excited for my 2026 refresh.

[C]

Yeah, I actually just got a fabulous round rug. It's really hard to find a good round rug and I need one. I needed one in my house and I found it at Wayfair. Where else? Where else?

[C]

So now we go outside, and Joe sees V, and he's like, oh, good morning. Good morning. She's like. And Sandy is looking at the TV listings, and she's like, oh, gosh. Well, now that wind is over, I guess I'll have to watch the spin off. God, anything Taylor Sheridan does, really, the spinoff storm, it's not really as good, but it's coming. It's coming.

[D]

Yeah, Storm's coming in. I love that they found a. A good role for Bill Pullman here. I mean, you know, it's great. Taylor Sheridan, he finds men of certain age and just puts them in a cowboy hat and lets them go. So just seeing him weathering that storm, it's just great tv.

[C]

Now, I don't know if I believe in weathering a storm with Judi Dench by his side, but you know what? I'll take it.

[D]

I'll take. Yes, it's great work right over there. So storm is coming in, and Ash is like, for this, the final charter. And I always like to finish a season on a high, and I want some sort of grand climax, and I don't want to fake it. Okay, maybe a little bit. She's really hamming it up this season, that Asia. She's doing a little pointing at the camera, like, here comes a joke. I bet you're not ready for the punchline because it's about to arrive. And now it is here.

[C]

So Kathy is working in the little galley area, and Max just comes up pouting, and she's like, oh, God, can we just stop being grumpy? Hug me, hug me. I've got such healthy hair. And he's like, I'm not grumpy. I'm figuring out what is good for me. Okay? And Josh is listening to this in the kitchen, like, oh, God, you'll choose this whiny, crying dish rag of a human being. But I guess I'm just over here, penis less. Josh. Okay. Wow.

[D]

These two people are worse than putting a piece of meat on a plate and putting another piece of meat on a separate plate. Ugh, I hate them. So Max is like, really on your. It's your to go take nuggets. And I just don't want to be emotionally, like, unstable. So. Yeah, maybe Issa too soon. No. She's like, I'm British, and none of that worked on me. So then she says, I've thrown myself into this and now you're finally going to walk away from everything. That was because I got a little hangry. Well, guess what? Wait till you see me at 4:15 and the tray of finger sandwiches hasn't arrived at the table yet. Then you'll see the real Kathy. Max.

[C]

I don't care. I'm not upset with you. You choose chicken nugget. Enjoy your chicken nugget marriage. Enjoy making baby with chicken nugget.

[D]

All right, everyone get your iPads ready because it's time for a preference sheet meeting. Okay, so, Aisha, why don't you start it off?

[C]

Okay.

[D]

Jennifer is from New Jersey and owns four med spas. And here's a note here that Ben Mandelka recognizes her from something and wants to know, was she on another blow deck at some point? Because he can't get rid of this nagging feeling.

[C]

Half of this cast was like the top of the troll pin. You know, those little trolls. What's happening? This cast, this woman is injected. Four entire med spills into a face.

[D]

And we get to serve her.

[C]

Yeah, she. Karen's a New York Times best selling author. Author of what?

[D]

I don't know.

[C]

Books, presumably. Are they on Kindle? I don't know. I'm more of a listener myself. But she's written about being a daughter of a mob boss. Has she written it with voice notes?

[D]

I don't know.

[C]

Does anyone write anymore? What's happened to the education system in this country? Is this season over yet? I feel like I've been here 19.

[D]

Yeah, she's the daughter of Sammy the Bull Gravano, so we better behave ourselves. Otherwise she might write about us, too, and then maybe send Mafia after us. God, that's hilarious. Scary, too. Really heightens the. Heightens the stakes here. Right, guys? Okay, fun times.

[C]

So this is the Karen from Mob Wives. Everybody, brace yourselves. Otherwise known as. Not the great people from mob lives. Like, where's Drita? Where's Sandra? What am I trying to say?

[D]

Where's Erica? She's supposed to be by my side.

[C]

I mean, I know Big Ange couldn't be here. Rip. Still miss you every day of my life. But what's the other one? The other main one? Hold on, I'm gonna look up mob wife's cast. I'm curious. I could.

[D]

While you look that up, I could swear that Jennifer was on another blow deck. I could swear this is not the first time. We've met her. And Drita.

[C]

Yeah, Drita and Renee. Drita and Renee are the people. Come on now. And Big Ange. But. Big Ange. But. Yeah.

[D]

Well, what I liked about this girl Jennifer, who eventually comes on is that she sounds exactly like one of Zachariah Porter's impersonations. You know Zachariah Porter? He does. He basically impersonates ladies of, like, Long island on his Instagram. He puts on a wig, and he's like, where's your rant? Where's your rant? And basically, that's what she sounds like. That's what this lady sounds like is.

[C]

Oh, yeah, yeah, I looked him up. Yeah, I know who he is. He's funny.

[D]

Super. Super. Staten Island, Long Island. Yeah, I know they're different places. I'm just saying that's sort of in that mix.

[C]

Oh, they're different. Yeah. Staten island is its own. I lived in Staten island for one year when I was 18 years old because I moved to New York with no money, and that was the first place I could afford after being homeless. And the house had a column missing in the front, and so it was, like, falling down. And so we would sit in these chairs, and they would roll all the way down the floor. I could have died in that house. But it was a fun place. And staten. There's nobody like a Staten island person, I'll tell you that. And here they come. Here comes a whole ferry of them. Good luck.

[D]

So night one, they want to have a pajama party, and Kizzy's, like, very Mafia, which. Fair point. And then day two, they want to get off the boat and enjoy lunch on the beach.

[C]

It is very Mafia, though, because it's like pajamas. Celebrate sleeping, and you're on a yacht with the fishes. With the fishes, Kizzy.

[D]

Hey, Aisha, do you think you can ask provisioners if we can get some severed horse heads that we can put in their beds? Just see if they can do it. Just try. Just try.

[C]

Hey, Aisha, could you make all of the rooms out to look like trunks so we could just kind of throw them in there at the end of the night? I think it'll be on theme.

[D]

We were thinking we could set up a toll booth outside of the boat, and then when they come, we can. We can shoot someone to death right before they go through the toll booth. What do you guys think? This is getting a little dark Sandy. Okay. When they come on, someone press play on Don't Stop Believing, and then that'll be the end of our season.

[C]

Just Black out. Just cut the lights. So now Max is thinking of Cassie and it's playing, like, while he sobs and, like, squeegees and thinks of Kathy, like, choosing chicken nuggets over him.

[D]

So sad. So then he's talking to Joe. He's like, you know what I prefer to have now? I just want to have good friendship. You know, it's less likely you have a problem. You know, Joe's not listening. He doesn't care. And then V is just. V is over. And she's in some area being like, ah, it's really windy right now. No, the season's over, Vy. Season's over. Sorry. Listen, it's killing me that I can't do spoilers. You gotta catch up, V. It's really very difficult.

[C]

So now Captain Sandy goes to Josh to check on him. He's like, oh, you know, I just want to make sure I stay ahead of things. Like, I don't want to get complacent. And she's like, oh, really? You know what I'm going to need you to do? I need you to get complacent.

[D]

Okay?

[C]

Right there.

[D]

To get complete. And okay, just think outside the box, okay? Because if you put everything in the box, that's basically family style. So think of lots of little boxes that you can put things in and serve that like that. Okay? Do that. Okay. You could do it, kiddo. It's like you're gonna be.

[C]

You're a pro. You know, it's a lot of pressure because we're not going to be on anchor. Think outside the box. Think. I'll do your food. Put on a plate. Do your food. Put on a plate.

[D]

You know, he's like, these. These last few charters have been a bit funky in my head. The. The things that I up on, they stick hard more than the positives. It's like a poison that gets chucked into your brain and then it just sort of seeps through you and stops you from believing in yourself. And next thing you know, just a little cartoon version of yourself who's somehow getting more than you actually are. And you're the actual one who's real intangible. And that's just a drawing, but somehow is doing better than I am.

[C]

I love that they make Dominic, the little cartoon character, meaner with every episode. She's like, you suck. You suck, mate. Clowns suck. Nobody likes clowns. Everyone. You know what? Everyone wants to see dead clowns. Could you be a dead clown? Loser can't even clown right if you're a Good clown. You wouldn't be here sucking it up on the ship, would you? Stupid clown. Terrible class. Hey, you want to play two chords on the guitar? Why don't you? Go ahead, mate. It's all. You know. Moron.

[D]

Josh is like, it just means a lot to me to make sure that I can do the best that I can. But I know how much work that requires. I'm just kind of like, have I got enough time? It's like, yeah, well, you know, you set the bar and you set it really high. So you do have enough time. It's called just put the food on different plates. That's. It takes about 30 extra seconds. You can do it. Okay, I'm gonna go look at pictures of little bear upstairs. Okay, bye.

[C]

Can't sing, can't cook. Can't do. Can't sing, can't cook. Cat clown. Can't sing, can't cook. Clown. God damn it, Dominic. So now we go to the cabins where Kathy and Kizzy are talking. And Kathy's like, I'm raging. I'm in a Spanish bull ring. I don't even want to see him right now. I don't even want to see him. What kind of man doesn't stand up for a woman who's missing nuggets?

[D]

Because he's like, just talk to him about it. Or if you want, I can make out with him. Would that make it better? She's like, well, I tried. I tried this morning. And I just want him to be the bigger person now. Okay? I'm the one who doesn't have chicken nuggets and lost someone in my family. And yet I have to console him? Absolutely not. Because he's like. And he's also older than you, you know, so don't forget that you can't.

[C]

Date a toddler and then want them to be a bigger person. I mean, you're gonna be changing this man's diapers for the rest of his life. Run. Run. So then Captain Sandy comes on the radio. They're coming, they're coming. Mob wives. They're coming in 30 minutes. Okay, everybody, you're about to be horrified by some facial injections. Everybody get into your whites. Do it.

[D]

I am going to make you an offer you can't refuse, which is everyone should get into their whites. And then you'll get a tip afterwards. Okay, get ready, everyone.

[C]

So Kizzy runs through the galley and slams into a trash can, which, God bless it, I mean, figuratively, she did that weeks ago, so it was nice to see physical reality catch up. With her, a bam. Trash can.

[D]

You know what it's like? It's like seeing one trash can roll into a dumpster. That's what it is.

[C]

That's.

[D]

That's the true metaphor right there.

[C]

Really? And, you know, it's like that. It's that thing I always say, like, I do not. Like. Like, just because I don't like somebody doesn't mean that I want to see them in physical pain. And then I realize as I say that, that I. That's not something that I say. Cause it's not true. So I don't. I actually.

[D]

I don't want. I don't want to see people get maimed or killed, but I don't mind if someone has a minor ache and pain. I don't mind if you might be eligible for a new print commercial because of what you've gone through. So this is perfect.

[C]

I don't want you to get, like, gunned down. But I do want a trash can to take my frustration out on your toe.

[D]

Yes. I do want to see you scampering through a galley and stubbing your toe on a trash can so badly that you have to go to the hospital. Because that's just. It's perfect. Yeah.

[C]

So she's like, I think I broke my toe. And we hear the guests before we see them. We just hear like, oh, we got.

[D]

A lot of potatoes tatas here.

[C]

My nipples are patrolling out of my dress. What am I gonna do here?

[D]

Hey, I don't have any nipple covers, but maybe they got some truffles to put on my tatas.

[C]

So you know what I want on my tata? I need a king crab lab over these nips. All right.

[D]

So you know the underwiring of my bra is king crab leg. I don't know if you know that, but they arrive and everyone's scrambling to get there. And Kathy is like, oh, my God, listen to the accents. That's. It's not just that they're Americans, that they're trashy Americans. It just gets funnier the closer they get. Haha. But yeah, they're all. All the people from Europe are just loving the Jersey accents. And I guess they're from Jersey, not from Staten island or Long Island. Well, whatever it is, we know.

[C]

I think Karen is from Staten island, isn't she?

[D]

I see. I thought there was an island in there somewhere. I thought someone was, but now they're all. Now all of our European cast members are going to try to do a New York accent. So Asia's like, today. Do you want to give me some pizza. I'm starving over here.

[C]

And Joe's like, new York, give me some coffee.

[D]

Yeah, you like that. And then Max. Max is just. He's just so. He's like, get me some. Yeah, you're living alive.

[C]

Okay, guys, welcome.

[D]

Like, by the way, you know, Ronnie, this is what we sound like to Europe when we do our pod. When we do this show specifically, this is what we sound like.

[C]

I know. I'm fine with it. I'm okay. I accepted it a long time ago. Here comes one right now.

[A]

Hey, it's Raj and Noah. And we're back with a new season of Am I Doing It Wrong? The show that explores the all too human anxieties we have about trying to get our lives right.

[B]

Because we're still doing a lot of stuff wrong.

[A]

But who isn't? That's why each week, we're talking about the topics that we could all use a little helping hit with. Whether it's making new friends as an adult, managing our emotions, or even dreaming.

[B]

We'll be talking to experts in their fields who are definitely doing things right, so the rest of us can be a bit wiser and a lot better equipped to handle whatever life is throws at us.

[A]

Subscribe now and listen to new episodes of Am I Doing It Wrong? Dropping every Thursday starting January 1st, wherever you get your podcasts.

[B]

And for the first time ever, we're going to have full video episodes on YouTube, because as long as there are things to get wrong, we're going to be right here to help you do them better.

[D]

Love y'.

[C]

All. So Captain Sandy's like, hey, guys, welcome. I'm Captain B.B. you might have heard of me. I'm. I'm loved. So I wanted to welcome you loud mouths onto this boat, okay? Just look around the. Look at all those creatures out there. Each one of them hates the sound of your voice. How does that feel? Okay, welcome. Don't forget, storm starts tonight. Oh, by the way, we're not leaving the dock. Okay? You know why? Because Dame Judi Dench signed a contract. We're all going to gather around, and we're going to watch Storm together, okay? Whether you like it or not, pain is more fun. Together, guys.

[D]

So Asia takes them on a tour and everything, and they're like, oh, my God, look, there's a bidet. I love that. Oh, my God. I can wash my asses with that. That's very nice. I love it.

[C]

It' very good.

[D]

Good, good.

[C]

What you could do.

[D]

Clean your ass. Clean your ass with the bidet. And then come upstairs. We'll have a cocktail. Okay, I will do that.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

It's just.

[C]

It's just a group of class.

[D]

Okay, so then some of them are sitting upstairs after the tour. And the one who wrote the book, Karen, who is Sammy the Bull Gravano's daughter, Kathy. She. She's. She sounds a little different. And Kathy's like, excuse me, I just have to ask a question. So you're both trash Americans, but your accent's different. You're super trashy, but you're fake, not trashy. So what's the story with that?

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, my family sent me to prep school, so I was like the mafia kid they send away to school. So I came back sounding smarter, like. And Connie's like, you don't really sound like New York. I don't even know what you're supposed to sound like. But it's not New York.

[D]

But you know what? If you piss me off, I'm like, who the do you think you are? Oh, sorry. That was me, Karen, doing my pretend to be Connie. Sorry about that. So Khan's like, yeah, we don't want it, but we want to hear it. Okay, we don't want you to get pissed off, but we want to hear your new accent. Your New York accent come out. Okay, hold on.

[C]

So now they just sit down. They're like, feed us. And so Kizzy is ironing down the crew mess, and Max is there, and he's like, what is happening? Do you need cataly massage? Maybe Joke and massage. I love romance. And she's like, my toe hurts. And just like, I can't even massage her. The world will end. Everyone will freak out. Me, poor Joe, not allowed to do anything because of unreasonable people like V.

[D]

He is pulling this card so hard, this episode. He is acting like he is poor Romeo. Can't even touch Kizzy. It's because your own stupidity, okay? Because you just can't control yourself. That's why you're in this situation. And he's acting like he's been kept from the love of his life that he's been pining for all season long. This is a new development. Like, just shut up already. You've got two days. Then you can make out with her.

[C]

Yeah. And he's like, oh, I promised Victoria that I wouldn't flirt with Kizzy, but there's just a little tension. Oh, I want to kiss this girl. I feel I can do it. I feel. It feels like I'm in prison. And I'm getting closer and closer. Just to stick my lips through the bars of. Just. Let's do it. Do it. I'm waiting here. I'm waiting here with the mousetrap.

[D]

Do it.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

He's a regular Jane Austen heroine just pining after Willoughby. I mean, come on. Now. This is. It's just actually was. It's not so much that Victoria asked you not to flirt, it's that Nathan asked you not to flirt because it's creating such a distraction. It's creating drama on the deck crew, and it's making it hard to do the job. So it's. It's not about her. It's about just making sure this yacht does not sink because of your stupid face.

[C]

And also, Victoria didn't ask you. You literally said, I won't hook up with her just to respect you. You were the one who did it.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

So now we go back to the guests at the table, and they're talking to Aisha, and they're like, how do you say your name? What is it? Aisha. What is it? Aisha's. Aisha. She's like, oh, okay, sure. Okay. Well, you know what? It's not raining no more. Aisha. Can we go out now? And she's like, no, because it's not the rain. It's the wind. She goes, that doesn't matter. I want to go out.

[D]

Out.

[C]

But the captain said. I don't care what the captain said. Bring the captain up here. Bring the captain up here. If she can't handle wins, what is she captain for, huh? What is she even captain for? Oh, my God. These people are disgusting. And the worst. The worst are these two young ones. I. And I don't even know if they are young because, honestly, they are wearing life vests on their face. I don't know what anyone is even trying to do anymore. You guys are really overdoing it. Like, are you 70? Are you 20?

[D]

These two are not spending a dime. You can tell. It's always the people who never spend any money and make all the demands. And this girl Annalise is just the most obnoxious. She's like, you know, like, being like, I want to go out there. I want to go out there. Call Captain Sandy, okay? Because I'm gonna make a demand. Okay, That's. Okay. Here's the offer. The offer is that we either go out or we. And that's it. There's no other options. I'm like, you know what? Settle down, Chris. Christie. There's a storm out there.

[C]

All right, that was crazy when she's like, hey, hey, captain, we got an offer for you. You take us out on the fucking water. There's your offer.

[D]

Sandy's like, use you. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. That's not gonna happen. But look how beautiful it is. You're not talking about your face, right? No, but the weather out there, she's like, okay, you know what? It's not about that. It's about the seas, okay? Just think about your report card. It's all about the seas. It's just not safe.

[C]

But I got a weather app here. Look, I opened up my phone, I said, weta. And look at sunny out there. Why can't we go out there? But the weather app says it's okay. She's like, no, no, no. That's not the same thing.

[D]

You know.

[C]

You'Re on the.

[D]

Okay, so you're on. Okay. I'm trying to look up your app. Oh, I see. Because I'm on weather.com, and it looks like you're on wet or W E D D E R. That's not a weather app. That's just about helping you get married. But it says weta. It says weather. It's supposed to. Where does. It says, it's a great time for weather.

[C]

That's the wrong app.

[D]

Here's the. Here's the deal. Do you think I would stay at the dock if it was nice out the guy. This one. And by the way, the men are just, like, mortified. He's like, no, absolutely not. You are. Well, I wouldn't think that in the world. And she's like, yeah. Do you think that? Do you guys really think that? Do you dumb dumbs really think that? They're like, no, no, no. It's like, it's just gonna get rougher and rougher and more dangerous. Okay, so we're not leaving the deck today.

[C]

We're. Now, Listen, do I look like the kind of. The kind of captain who doesn't want to go out on the water? The kind of captain who wants to sit here and have a viewing party of storm where we get clear Internet? Do I seem like that kind of a person? Do I. Okay, well, I've stayed here probably nine times out of 10 this season. It is my hobby to stay on the dock. You got me? I don't care. We're still staying on the dock. Bye, stupid.

[D]

So Annelise is like, so we're just stuck? Yeah. Maturity wise, yes, it does appear that you are. So that's unfortunate for you. But there's some good therapists. We could probably find in the mainland and bring them on the boat for you.

[C]

It's like, oh, yeah. Well, I don't feel like we got much to do on this boat, guys. And not for nothing, I thought this boat was going to be twice the size. I'm not that happy. And don't tell me this 20 had a person because I would never. I would never. 20 ahead. Come on, really? 20 ahead for this? For sitting on the dock with the captain, huh? And I don't mean. I don't mean she got one. I mean, she is one. She's a walking vagina. All right, like, what is this?

[D]

Well, I'm sorry that it's not as beautiful as the Atlantic City ballrooms you're used to, but it is what you have, so enjoy it.

[C]

I'm sorry it's not as glamorous as the Doritos. You get on the Staten island ferry. You lose or go sit back on your bench.

[D]

I know it's not as thrilling as riding that two bit roller coaster on the Jersey shore, but, you know, just give it a chance. Maybe you'll enjoy it.

[C]

Yeah. Yes, silly beast. Okay, well, you know what? They're still talking down there. I can hear their lips flapping. Literally. God, I looked at that woman's face and I said, God, I love that banana. And then realized it was a face. The banana was talking back to me. So you know what? It gave me an idea. You guys want to feel the swells, then go in the water, then you dummies. Anyone who wants to go out and dare the swells, we're going to send you with our dumbest. Our dumbest person on a Tinder. Go do it, Monk. Here, take them.

[D]

So now. Yeah, so I actually like this. I like that. This is. You know what? This is the Captain Sandy's equivalent of the Property brothers showing someone a house that is everything that they want but way outside their budget. Like, okay, well, you want to have five bedrooms and you want to have a two. Two islands in your kitchen, and you want to have three living rooms and a yard and be close to town. Well, guess what? Here it is. Oh, no. That's $5 million more than your budget. I guess we'll have to rethink it for house number two. You idiots. That's basically.

[C]

Yeah, sorry we couldn't give you your dream. So here's Joe.

[D]

Okay, that's basically what she's doing. She's like, okay, so you want to go out to the sea. Okay, you're gonna do that. And you'll come back with some bark bags.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

Enjoy. Stupid face. Yeah. And I mean that literally.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Face is stupid.

[C]

So we're in the mess. Joe's in his cabin, and V and Kizzy are talking, and Kizzy's like, oh, my God, I have to leave, like, the ironing board out because, like, I'm gonna use it when I get back. I gotta go and kiss. He's like, whatever. I mean, I understand why she's still upset with me. I mean, I really, genuinely, really do. But, like, I feel like I've explained myself as much as I can. You know, she has feelings, and I don't care about them. And I literally broke up with my boyfriend to experience my season to the fullest. And I've tried to find five guys on this, and not one is panned out. So with Joe, I just have to really know if there's something there.

[D]

Just because you explained yourself does not mean that you automatically are forgiven. It just means that you've explained yourself. And now she has greater context as to why she should be mad. That's it. That's it. So now people are making orders, and Annalise, like, could I have a lychee martini, please?

[C]

Oh, God, Why that every tacky person we've seen this week orders a lychee martini. Martini. That's just like that. Seriously now, if you embarrass. If you order a leachy martini, you're tacky as. As witnessed by this show and.

[D]

Was.

[C]

The Valley Persian style, where she's like, giving him a lychee martini, that gross guy. So please just stop drinking those. Do yourself a favor, because it's like wearing a hello, my name is.

[D]

Douche tag.

[C]

It's over. Leachy martini. It's over.

[D]

Get lychees to be honest. And that goes for Aaron. Stray is shot and Ronnie. So Catherine.

[C]

Poor Aaron's never gonna get away from it, man.

[D]

I know. So Kathy, she just comes down the steps to start talking to Nathan and. And his back is turned so he doesn't see her. And Max is like, bro, I feel weird. And Nathan's like, like, oh, what's. Why, what do you feel sick? He's like, no, no, no, no, no. Just k. She's in my head. I have to do a meditation. So Kathy, of course, hears this because she came down the stairs. She's like, weirdo. And Nathan's like, okay. And then Max just goes and does a meditation. We like to point out that Max is non stop talking about this Kathy situation to anyone on this boat. And it's so tiresome. Like, no one cares if you did not get to have a conversation with Kathy. Like, literally no one cares. Just shut up.

[C]

I know he's just a drama queen and he wants his moment because everybody else has had their moments. He's like, what about me? What about my alt Blake? Nobody cares. I'm on your mom's side. So Nathan's like, no worries, my man.

[D]

Why?

[C]

Jesus Christ, Why am I stuck in the middle of this? I'm the most mature one on the boat. Just like to remind Everybody for the 19th week in a row that he totally would have banged Kizzy had he been allowed to that night. Two days before he was begging Asia or what's her buns back into his life. And his life would not be so easy if Kizzy was as dramatic as, say, V was being. Even though I'm not saying V is out of control. Like, I think V has a more sturdy case here. If you almost hooked up with somebody and then completely dropped them the next day and said, oh, yeah, I just like to fuck around with you when I'm drunk. That's the girl I really like. She could be making a lot more trouble for you than you're getting. So you're pretty lucky to be getting away with this edit, is what I'm saying. Acting like, oh, I'm the only mature one. No, you're not. You just happen to hook up with Kizzy, who doesn't really care.

[D]

That's correct. So Kathy, you know, she's like. Nathan's like, you look rad. She's like, yeah, that's because he's a motherfucker. And I'm sitting right here. So then we go back to Nathan and Kathy, and Kathy's like, he basically just said, yeah, let's cool off. Like, let's just distance ourselves kind of thing. And I think he just gets so in his head, and he doesn't know how to express himself. Also, he's very, very stupid. That's something I'm starting to realize. A dumb, dumb man, but a good lay, and I deserve that. But very stupid. Very, very stupid.

[C]

It just keeps cutting to max. Meditating. He's like, oh, bobbing butter. Butter on bread.

[D]

That sounds delicious, too. That's my meditation. So V is avoiding Joe. She goes out on the deck, and Joe's there. So she's like. She turns around and goes the other direction. And then Kizzy is tending to her toe, which is getting worse and worse, and she's like, FaceTiming someone. Like, look at my Toe. What's wrong with my toe? And then Jennifer is talking to Sandy and being like, okay, Sandy, by the way, you're so beautiful. You're so beautiful. I love the hair. It's wonderful. It's very. It's very medieval. I love the Middle Ages. It's great. It's wonderful. By the way, can I drive the boat now that I butted you up. Bread and buttered you up, if you will. Can I?

[C]

You mean this boat? Yeah, this boat. What do you think I mean? She's like, well, you could do it on autopilot. It's like, oh, that's a good one. That's a good one. She's got it. She's got it. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? Her hair ain't the only one that's got jokes. She's funny. She's for real.

[D]

Very funny. Very funny. So then Karen's like, you know what? These things are hard to drive. Okay. One time I did my. This guy owed my father some money or whatever, so he wound up acquiring a big boat. And everyone laughs because they know what that means. He goes, no. She's like, true story, true story. So we acquired a big yacht, and then he's driving and we came to park in the. In the pier and like, boom. He just started smashing into all the. All these big boats. And next thing he's like, I don't want this thing. I'm done. I love that. The next day was not like, oh, my God, I owed all these people so much money for the repairs. It was like, eh, never mind.

[C]

He didn't pay that money for those repairs. It's a mob guy. It was like, yeah, you want to complain about it? Complain to this. You want to do it?

[D]

Come on. Talk to the doctor.

[C]

The barrel.

[D]

Yeah, sorry about you. Sorry about your boat. Was Captain Glenn's fault.

[C]

So then he probably went up and beat all. All the other boat owners up for having their boats in his way.

[D]

It would be such a mob boss thing to do, to be like, oh, hey, I just got a new boat. Let me be the one to drive it around. Even though I'm not equipped whatsoever to drive a yacht. Yeah.

[C]

Come on, kids. Daddy just got this thing from a friend.

[D]

Yeah. So Karen. Yes, Karen tells the story. And then people like Asia and Kathy are starting to run plates and everything. And Kathy's like, oh, look, it's a family style lunch. And so they're like, oh, no. Family style. Although I feel like, like, lunch, you're allowed to be family style, especially because, you know that this group is probably like, hey, we're family, okay? Family eats together. Okay, you know what? You know what I'm not gonna do is I'm not gonna go in that tender without my family, okay? I've had enough. I want to eat a family style because that's what families do.

[C]

Yeah. If there's ever a group of people that does not deserve plates, it's these ones. I'm surprised they even use forks. Surprise. They don't just eat straight out of the pots. This is a gross group of people. So she's like, well, you know, I'm not really sure why Josh is still doing family style. We're a super yacht. We're a super yacht Sandy. And that's a standard in the Med. You know, you plate people in the Med. They like things on plates. What can I tell you?

[D]

God, you know what I love? I love learning about the Earth's crust, because it's made of plates. Even the Earth does it family style. Okay? So Captain Sandy is like, josh, Josh, why family style again? What's going on here? Josh?

[C]

He's like, always at lunches, she goes, no, no, hold on. One more.

[D]

No, no, no. Always be plating a B. P. Okay? Okay. Once in a while, you can do family style, but not as often as you're doing it, okay? Just takes it down a notch every time. So when you serve that Caesar salad, I want one leaf on that plate, one leaf on that plate, and a crouton on that plate, okay? That's called fancy.

[C]

Yeah. He's like, but I always do it this way on boat. She goes, no, you never do it this way on boats.

[D]

Okay?

[C]

That's our new mantra. Never do it this way. Okay. I could use some work on that one. It's not very catchy, but, like, well, I'm doing a plated menu tonight for a full course dinner. She says, oh, wow. Well, congratulations on half ace in it maybe in the future.

[D]

Unfortunately, all the plates are welded together, and they sort of form one big plate that one would perhaps call a platter. See, Josh, you can't do that. That doesn't count. Separate plates, not welded.

[C]

Okay, Josh, I want the food on the plates, or I want you on the ice. You got it. Oh, gosh, these guests are really wearing off on me. I'm gonna go calm down. I'm gonna go calm down.

[D]

You were my brother.

[B]

Sorry.

[D]

I. It's like, captain Sandy, why did you just kiss me like that? Sorry. I just got caught up in all the mob stuff.

[C]

Okay, all right, so he sings. So he pulls out his guitar and he's in his clown outfit dancing next to him. They're just putting every gross thing about Josh in one shot.

[D]

I know.

[C]

He's like, one more person mentions plated meals. I think, where's Dominic? Dominic, where are you? I can't have Josh with that Dominic there telling him how much he sucks. Please.

[D]

I know. Seriously. So Josh is like. He's like, I'm just so confused. Asia. She's like, oh, really? You're confused? It's like, I'm in plated lunch. No one does that. Okay? Don't get too in your head about it. But everyone does do a plated lunch. People use plates.

[B]

It's.

[D]

We got a stack of them there. Oh, they've got dust on them. So please. Plates. But you've done a good job.

[C]

Top.

[D]

For someone who's doing a bad job, but you're doing a good job. Don't stress out. But I would be stressed if I were you. Don't get in your head.

[C]

You are at the top of what you do, which is mediocrity. So congratulations. Just keep up with that. You want to use paper plates? Would that make it easier?

[D]

So. So then Captain Sandy is watching this tender going around and everything, and she's just like, heck, yeah. Stuff that boat. Row. Go, go. Actually, I'm sorry. She's telling Nathan to go out on the boat. She goes, stuff that boat into a wave. Just get in there. Pretend it's manicotti and you're the cheese. Get it in there. Stuff it in.

[C]

Yeah. I like this. Even though it's. She shouldn't be doing this because, you know, you're not supposed to be putting the guests in danger. But I still liked it. She's like, okay, they want it. Make them suffer. Drag them. Hold their heads underwater till they stop complaining, okay? I don't want people back here until they. Until they say that they're going to be true and honest to the one and only Dame Judi Dench. I watched the first episode. I. I misjudged it. She's amazing, okay? She deserved the knighthood or whatever the they gave her. God, that one was amazing. Okay.

[D]

She's great. Yeah. So now Josh is in the gallery with Kizzy and Josh. Like, I mean, this whole thing is spinning me out. She's the plated thing. Yeah. I mean, what. I mean, plates. How are you supposed to even put things on plates? You can't even do it. It's like, wait, put the thing on the plate. But I Mean, you. You even hear that you sound. Yeah. How ridiculous you sound. I mean, one doesn't just put things on play. It's just ridiculous. You can't even do this. How can I be a chef with this sort of demands?

[C]

Oh, guys, something important's happening. Captain Sandy's getting a text. Baby, I miss you, baby. Why don't I come to Barcelona Bibi Lona, as I call it, and we can spend some baby time together before we go back bb and we just see Captain Sandy reading it, and then she just looks up at the camera and goes, ha.

[D]

Wow.

[C]

See that? That was a good one.

[D]

That's a good one right there. Please. Yes.

[C]

That's going in the BB hall of fame.

[D]

Are you gonna bring little bear? Just tell the people on the airplane he's not an actual bear. He's a dog.

[C]

Okay, great.

[D]

So then Max is like. He's like, oh, no, Joe, I'm totally. When she. When Kathy's in the room, I'm like, oh, like, I feel bad, you know? Like, I. I don't know why I said this, bro. It's like, oh, I mean, you should have thrown the nuggets earlier, bro. I don't want to make her, like, in pain. Like, she's wonderful business. What do I do?

[C]

Joe, this is very minor. You know, talk to Kathy. I'm not the best at giving advice because, like, I thought I wanted something with Victoria, and the more I got to know Victoria, the less I actually wanted Victoria. Did you know that she had a dead boyfriend on her birthday? Nobody told me. I wouldn't have gotten involved with that. Somebody told, she told you. Well, never mind. I still didn't want her completely unattractive. And that's what dating's about. It's finding out whether you're right for each other, whether or not somebody's dated somebody that's died before. You know, back in real estate, when I was a big shot real estate person, you had to disclose that information before you dated a house.

[D]

You know, Max, you have to just lean into the dating process. As we all know, you meet someone, you fall in love with someone, they're hot, they're beautiful, good personality. And then you cheat on them, and then you change the narrative and say you never liked them in the first place, and they actually made your life hell. That's what teaching's all about, Max.

[C]

So thankfully, I've learned that V wasn't for me when I was making out with other people while she was mourning her dead boyfriend on her birthday, which I forgot Both things. But, you know, thank God Kizzy the angel's here for me. And Max is like, wow, let us fist bump. You just admit to, like, easy.

[D]

Oh, God, Joe. Changing this narrative, like, oh, the more I got to know her, the more I was like, ugh, whatever. I'm like, then why were you crying? Because you've made out with Kizzy. You were crying. Well, you were crying because you knew you messed up. You couldn't keep the one simple promise, but you made that promise because you liked her so much. You were trying to hold yourself to a higher standard. And then when she didn't lift, you let. You know. Let you off the hook. You decided that that was the thing you didn't like about her. You didn't like the fact that she. She wasn't chill with the fact that you kissed another girl while on a very emotional day for her. So, like, it's just extraordinary the way he is able to do mental gymnastics to somehow make himself the victim in this situation.

[C]

Yeah. So now we go to the tender, and Frank's like, oh, yeah. Welcome to Barcelona. Yeah, that's all. That's all right. On the boat. You got a problem. People said we couldn't be on a boat. Here we on a. I don't feel good. I don't feel good. I don't feel good.

[D]

They're all turning green.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

They're getting bounced around. Oh, my God. This is, like, so much right now. And they're screaming, and Sandy's watching, and she's like, yeah, I hope they all come back with wet hair. They'll have to do their hair again.

[C]

And Annalise is like, this is a nightmare. I guess Sandy does know best. And then we just cut to Sandy going, hey. Told him. Nailed it. So now, let's see. V is getting instructions on driving the tender back, and she's like, yeah, like, every once in a while, I remember being a green stew, and, like, I was the third stew. But, like, I'm, like, grateful for Nathan because he showed me. He showed me. He pushes, like, the whole, you know, Joe sucks, but nation. Nathan's still cool. And that's something. That's something to me.

[D]

Hey, just want to interrupt your internal monologue to say you docked the tender like a pro. Good job. And the way he just sort of crashed into the wall and made Anneliese fly into the dock. Oh, great touch. Wasn't expecting that. Beautiful.

[C]

She bounced right off. That's crazy. Gotta love the banana. Congratulations. You've reached the end of part one of a Two part recap for part two. Go look for the recap that says part two. See you over there, suckers.
