Josh
Well, hello and welcome to Watch what Crappens. This is part two of a two part recap. If you're like, hey, wait a minute, I didn't hear part one, guys. It's because we put out a Lot of recaps. Go back and listen to part one. Okay. It's before this one. Bye. Enjoy the show.
Kathy
So they come back on the boat and then they're like, oh my God, it was like very choppy. It was actually like so choppy. I like, did not feel safe on there. It was like very scary. And Sandy's like, so what did I tell you? What did I tell you? Well, I told you a few things. It'd be Chappie. I told you that BB's coming to town and that God, storm is so good. Really, I'm so. I'm so lucky that I got a screener. I'm not supposed to say anything about it, but Judi Dench, she's gonna get an Emmy, I'll tell you that much right now.
Josh
Okay, what did I tell you?
Kathy
I apologize.
Josh
Listen, it's like the time I gave Norma pashmina and I said, no, it's not to wrap around your shoulders, it's to put over your face. And she did it. I laughed at her and I threw bananas at her head until she started crying and ran home. Forgot why I was telling you this story, but God, that was fun. Okay, I'll be in my room.
Kathy
Never seen a pashmina with more crumbs on it, that's for sure. Golden grams, donuts, crab shells, the whole whole range.
Josh
So Josh is melting down in the kitchen, like, oh, cold plates. And then it's pajama party night, so they want dinner at 9:15 or 9:30. And so they just go tell Josh that. And he's like, fine with it because it wasn't Kizzy, I guess, messing him around.
Kathy
Yeah, he does not like it when Kizzy asks. Finds out the news. So Joe and Kizzy are sitting together. A love, a love so torrid, being kept apart. And then one of the guests finds a hair in the hot tub. She's like, you know what? I found the G. It's a hair in the hot tub. I guess as long as it's mine, it's fine, you know, as long as not a pubic hair, it's okay. Frank, is this your pubic hair? If it's your pubic hair, get over here, cuz. I want you to clean out your pubic hair. You know what shade tonight, Frank, Cuz I don't want to see any more your pubic hairs in the hot tub, okay?
Josh
And Joe and Kizzy are talking about the maddest place you've ever shagged. And she's like, the maddest place. And we're thinking of Gondola and you. And he's like, the most memorable was in the garden center. I don't know why, but we were in a garden center. And then the ladies came over and said, we're not. You're in a Lowe's.
Kathy
And then the girl I was shagging said, I know I've hit a low, but I'm horny. I said, what's that supposed to mean?
Josh
I did leave with a free paint stick, though.
Kathy
That was. Well, it's. To be fair, I was. I was shagging in the garden center. And to also be fair, I was shagging a trellis. It was weird, but, you know, it worked hole as a hole. So then Nathan's like, I don't know what's. I don't know what Joel's doing with Kizzy. I tried to tell him that he's doing wrong, but I think I've grown this season as a person, you know, Wish I would. Wish my hair could follow suit, but, you know, gotta. Something's gotta grow. But not only that, having Gail around, like, in my life, even just a little bit, just knowing she's stuck in a hotel room waiting for seven days for me, and then maybe I might ghost her at the end of it. Just exciting. Can't help but have personal growth after that.
Josh
Yeah. I'm not buying this Nathan bullshit for one second. Oh, I'm so in love with Gayle. I just can't. I don't buy it. You're. You're a piece of shit to me, too. I don't buy it from you, sir. And he's like, yeah. And I just want Joe to be better because I'm better. I'm better. Look at me, Nathan, who's grown so much, so Joe needs to be better, too. You haven't grown. You haven't done anything. What are you giving yourself credit for? And the show's giving you credit, too. Like you've done something other than impregnate somebody. Not buying it.
Kathy
They're trying to really sell the story that he grew up and then now he's having a baby. But, like, last time I checked, you were throwing McNuggets at the yacht, so. So then we get a text from Gail. It's like, hey, I'm heading to. With some guy friends to go surfing for the next few days, so just don't want you to see pictures and not know what they are. Just so, you know, totally healthy. And he's like, okay, have fun. So then Kizzy is still nursing Her. Her trash can toe.
Josh
I'm still over here rooting for a trash can. I mean, the things that happen on Monday nights.
Kathy
I know. It's the things we. In 2026, you never know who you're going to root for. But apparently it's a simple human trash can.
Josh
And Jennifer comes. She's like, my God, I'm having trouble with the bathtub. They can't get the bubbles down or something. You got to come look. It's crazy. So they go over there, and dumbass Karen has put all the bubbles in the bath, and so it's overflowing all over the floor. Like, these people are pigs. Seriously, people are dumb. What's wrong with you? Like, you're hilarious. You're always, clean that up, you trash.
Kathy
Yeah, okay, you had your reality TV moment. You had. You did something funny now, like, get out. So then Josh is cooking and he's praying. He's praying to his pan because he's making. He's making a. A tatana. And I think it's a nectarine tatan, I believe. So he's making. Or an apricot tatan. And he's like, please, good vibes. Please have this work out. So he's praying over his titan.
Josh
And then.
Kathy
Nathan.
Josh
I didn't know you pronounced it like that. A titan.
Kathy
How'd you.
Josh
I was like, actually thinking tartine.
Kathy
No, I think it's only making a tartan.
Josh
Is it spelled tartine?
Kathy
No, it's spelled T A T I N. Oh.
Josh
So what is that?
Kathy
So it's kind of like an upside down cake, essentially. Basically, you. If you were to make like an apple tart to tan, for instance, you would basically take slice of some apples. You make, like, kind of like put some sugar and some water into a. Into a pan and you cook. It sort of becomes caramelized. Maybe add some like apple cider or apple juice. A method I learned from the late, great Anne Burrell. And you put your apple slices and then you cram them in there. You cram them and you cook them. You cook them in this, like, caramelly sauce, and they. The apples start to cook, and then once they're done. Not once they're done, but once they're like, sort of on their way. You lay over like puff pastry or maybe a pie crust, but I think puff pastry is the way to go. But like, there's variations where you can just add like cake dough or whatever, and then you basically, it's in a skillet and you put it into the oven, and then the, the dough is gonna bake and then once the dough is ready, you take the thing out and you flip it and there once what you have is a beautiful turn to dan and it's actually. And it looks nice because when you put the apples in the pan, you've arranged them in a nice pattern so that way when it flips out, it all looks cute. So they're really, they're really fun. They're fun to make, but you can burn them. The last time I tried to make one.
Josh
For.
Kathy
We're welcome to Inside the Apple Tatan Studios. I'm like, you're like James Lipton. And I'm like, well let me tell you about my.
Josh
Yeah, I love it.
Kathy
Last time I did it, I over caramelized it and so when I turned it out, it looked like dark and sexy and I was like, oh my God, this is amazing. And when I bit into it, it was like a burned caramel.
Josh
So I think that's what happened here. And you know, that's the, that's the funny thing. It's like sugar is the best thing in the world until it turns on you. And when it turns on you, it's like you, you thought I was good. I'm really Satan and it's, it chokes you, it tries to kill you. It's evil.
Kathy
I, I think that honestly like when they complained about the tatan, I was like, I'm gonna let them have that because I, I messed up a tatan once. I thought it would be, it would just always. It's their apples. I thought like it would just be always perfect. And I'm telling you, it came out, it was like this, it was sexy. It was like dark and shiny and shimmering. It was like, ooh, wow. And then it tasted like ass because it was bitter. It was bitter and burnt.
Josh
So he's praying over this and Nathan is trying to Gail because he likes her tatans and she's not answering. What part of I'm going to be out all day with my friends do you not understand? You needy. You were the one who ghosted me. And now you're texting and calling non stop Love bomber.
Kathy
He's love bombing. 100%. 100%. That's what I'm going to say. Non stop doing this. And then Max and Kathy are, they're, they're in laundry and Max like, okay, so you need to talk. She's like, oh God. So then they get interrupted because there's a towel emergency and then everyone starts to change cuz there's going to be this pajama party. So everyone's shitting into pajamas. And V pokes her head into the galley. But that's. Kizzy and Joe are in there. And she's like. But she, she doesn't see. She doesn't. They don't see her. But Kizzy's like, joe. Okay, guys, if we're getting married, Joe and I are getting married. If we get in six years time and we're still single, we're gonna get married. He's like, gross. Yeah.
Josh
It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappin's commercial.
Kathy
The new year is here. Get back into an at home routine you love and elevate your space with Wayfair.
Josh
There is so much going on at Wayfair. You can get bedding, you can get mattresses, you can get storage solutions for every room in the house. Wayfair is your one stop shop.
Kathy
I know. I cannot wait to refresh my living room with some accent pillows, maybe some faux plants. I'm in my faux plant era. Like, I'm excited for my 2026 refresh.
Josh
Yeah, I actually just got a fabulous round rug. It's really hard, good round rug. And I need one. I needed one in my house and I found it at Wayfair. Where else? Where else?
Kathy
And what I really love is that you can just go onto that website and they really have everything that I need for my home. It's so convenient. Get organized, refreshed and back on track this new year. For way less, head to Wayfair.com right now to shop all things home. That's W a Y F a I r Wayfair. Every style, every home.

Kathy
Love y'.
Josh
All. So then V just rolls her eyes in the confessional. She's like, so then all the guys wear girls pajamas. It's. It's hilarious. And Sandy said, I hope you're all wearing underwear. Cut. And that was by your all, I mean Norma.
Kathy
Okay.
Josh
Then Josh is like, oh, you want a plated meal? You're going to get a fucking plated. Best dinner. Best plated meal in the entire world. Why are these on tires? Why is the chicken being served on tires? He said, plates, plates. Plates, though. These are tires. Could you someone explain to Josh what plates are?
Kathy
This is the worst thing. There's actually a hole in the middle. So when you put the food in, you're literally not even making contact with the surface. It's going back onto the table.
Josh
So now Kizzy is still talking about her toe.
Kathy
Yep.
Josh
So most consistent. Kissy's been. Honestly. Yes. Like, she jumps around from thing to thing, episode to episode. But the toe, she's really. She's really consistent with the toe. So we're all feeling terrible for her, I'm sure. And then the guests are partying, and they're talking about oysters, and they're. He's like, so who doesn't eat oysters? And the young one's like, not me. Like, they're mad at him for saying oysters. I know. And they're just very tacky, this group.
Kathy
They are tacky. And then some people have to go down and clean the tub where the bubble bath was. It's like. It's got, like, a bronzer all over it. It's disgusting. And then the food is being served. There's some. Some beetroot tartar with pickled blackberries and everything. And everyone likes it, except for Annelise. Annelise is the. She's the biggest sourapus of them all. And she's like, ew, gross. I don't like it. And then people like the oyster dish and at least is like, I don't like extra large oysters with caviar on it. I like that. I like it in the shell with the lemon. And I can just put it down with that red. Give me that red for my oysters. And then Maria. And then Marissa is like, you know what? I hope we can make clems casino. And I didn't like that. The m. That the older generation is just like, they keep on checking the kids because Jennifer's like, you're on a yacht, okay? You can get clams casino at every Italian restaurant, Staten island in Brooklyn. Why do you want to have a clams casino? Marissa, come on. Be. Be classy. We're. Yeah.
Josh
She's like, I want my clams Casino. There, I said it. So now Joe and Nathan are talking in their cabin, and Nathan's like, well, Gail's in Menorca with some surfer guys from Sydney, and she asked me would it be an issue? And I said, no. And Joe goes, oh, off. I mean, if she can't behave, you know what I mean, Then that could be a little test. And he's like, what do you mean? It's not a test?
Kathy
Joe's totally misreading this because he's totally projecting what he would do in that situation and also how he would act if he were the one sneaking off to Menorca. So Nathan's like, no, it's not a test. I'm just saying she went to Menorca. He's like, well, if she's on faith for me, well, then that's absolutely ridiculous. And then, you know, then you're free from her, and he can start banging other girls. Congratulations. Get your. Get your penis wet. He's like, no, I. I'm just saying she went to Menorca, and I hope she has fun.
Josh
Yeah, he is, because he's trying to make this whole Gail is a cheater thing a storyline. Now, for some reason, he's been trying to do it ever since Gail came back. You are the cheater, sir. You.
Kathy
It's you.
Josh
But Nathan, it did start this off weird. Like, yeah, she. She asked permission to go surfing with some guys, and I said, yeah, so.
Kathy
But also, like, Joe, who has been peddling a narrative that he and. He and V weren't even a thing. They're, like, not even a couple. It's, like, not even a big deal. So he kissed Kizzy, and, like, maybe it's sort of disrespectful, but, like, they're not a couple. So, like, why all the drama? And literally, Joe. I mean, Nathan and Gail are not even dating. It's not even that. They're, like, in a situation there nothing is happening between them. And now Joe is like, well, if she's going to cheat, you better be careful. Be careful. Because if she's unfaithful, then you know that she's a slut. She's not worthy of your time. Like, oh, so suddenly someone's pretty High, high and mighty about cheating. And someone has a pretty low threshold for what qualifies as being unfaithful.
Josh
Yeah. So Nathan doesn't like that the guests are still loving the food. Except that's not Clamps Casino. And then everyone's messing around in the galley while Josh is plating, and he's like, kathy, Kathy, please, please. I'm trying to. Trying to concentrate here. Can we be mindful? I'm cooking. I'm in the middle of things. I'm required to put food on things. All right, please. It's getting distracting. And she's like, okay. So she, like, salutes him, and she goes, so, what should I do? He goes, less around. She's like, okay, gee, that's fine.
Kathy
So then they bring out the next course, and Annalise, of course, is complaining, and she's like, you know what? I'm a big pasta girl. Is there truffle on this? Wow, you're a big. I never would have thought these. This group would have been big pasta people. Thank you for telling me that, Annelise. I was afraid that you were into delicate, delicate, obscure foods, so I'm really glad you clarified that you're a pasta person. I would not have suspected.
Josh
And she's like, is that truffle in this? Is that a thing that people do, like, put truffles in pasta?
Kathy
I guess, yeah.
Josh
But I guess I've had that. It's good.
Kathy
Yeah.
Josh
I think it's also kind of trashy to just be like, you know what? I want truffles. It's like when people come on and they're like, you know what? I gotta have gold wrapped things. I want chocolate wrapped in gold.
Kathy
It's like, okay, the lady who wanted her steak and gold and gold leaf. I went to a. There's like a. There's like a hand roll place right near me. And, you know, it's the sort of place where you just. Everyone has to sit at the counter. And then there's like the. The chefs, you know, like the sushi chefs there doing making things. And this one guy is like, so you guys do fugu? Because fugu is the blowfish or puffer fish that you have to be specifically licensed to be able to serve it. I don't think you're even. You might not even be allowed to serve it in America. Maybe you can and like it. Because if you. If you slice the fish incorrectly, you will, like, kill the person. Like, you, like, there's, like, very, very. There's a high toxicity. You have to cut around these glands or whatever. And you have to be super, super licensed. And so, like, you go to very special chefs to do it. It's very rarefied, and it's a whole thing. And this guy is here on Sunset Boulevard talking to the chef, being like, so you guys do fugu? Yeah. I'm like, what is this Flex? What are you trying to flex during? Like, maybe you're gonna order fugu at, like, the. During the lunch rush on Sunset Boulevard. Like, shut the up.
Josh
Okay. Sounds so rich.
Kathy
Yeah. Like, oh, congratulations. You're so sophisticated. You know about fugu.
Josh
You've heard of truffles? Wow, you're really. You're really important. And he's like, unfortunately, yeah, truffles are out of season. I tried to get some. Okay. Now I'm ignorant about truffles, and I'll. I'll admit it, because I just. I mean, I love mushrooms, but I'm just not a big. Like, I'm gonna pay a hundred dollars for a mushroom. Like, I'm just not. Unless I. Unless it trips me out. That'll do. But I don't know that much about them. Aren't truffles dried generally and in season? Like, can't you always get truffles?
Kathy
I don't believe so. I think you have to, like, literally dig them up and have to be in season. I. I think they. Yeah, because there's, like, black truffle season and white truffle season, and, you know, you shave. That's interesting.
Josh
I don't know a lot about it.
Kathy
And, I mean, honestly, he could have just, like. Let's see. Probably could have put some dried mushrooms on there and added some truffle oil and been like, truffles. And they'd be like, oh, my God, this is delicious and so hoy. And I mean, this ignorant.
Josh
Yeah. She probably knows about as much as me about truffles. So I would say just cut up some mushrooms and say they're truffles, but.
Kathy
Like, a big old portobello on there. Like, we found the biggest truffle in all of Europe and put it on your pasta. She's like, oh, my God, of course this is what we want. So Josh was like, look, unfortunately, truffles are out of season. I tried to get some. And I know you're a big truffle girl, but unless we get them from Australia, you know, it's not gonna happen. I'm like, don't even say that. Don't say that. Don't give her an option. Just say they. They're out they're sold out in Europe. Okay? You have to truffle shuffle out of here.
Josh
Sold out in Europe. Europe has run dry of truffles. And she's like, yeah, then go to Australia, then get it for me. You fly them in then. Because Australia. Like, what's Australia's like, five minutes. Just get it for me.
Kathy
I'm looking at. When is truffle season? Truffle season is. Well, it depends on the type. White truffles are September to December. Winter black truffles are December to March. Summer black truffles are May to September. And seasonal varieties are January to April. So it seems like they're.
Josh
Right. So he could get some truffles.
Kathy
Yeah, he could get truffles. You know what, Anneliese? We'll give you this one.
Josh
It's easy to stand up for Josh because he's going against these dumb dumbs, but we have to remember it's Josh, too. And also, he pulls a king crab leg thing later, which is not cool. So he's like, yeah, well, I tried to get truffles, but I can't get truffles. And Thomas like, yeah, truffle. Because he. The truffles. That's why it's like, shut up, Dominic. She's like, oh, God. Just import it. And he's like. And the guy goes, we could have brought it from New York.
Kathy
Well, then you should have. So then Josh is like, well, so these are agnolotti with ricotta and parmesan and olive inside, and there's king crab in the middle. And I was like, oh, my God, it's so delicious. I absolutely love this. Oh, my God. And then Annalise is like. She's like, mad. She's like, I'm not. Guess what? It's not crunchy. I'm not tasting the shell, okay? Because I want my king crab legs.
Josh
It's like, I don't like the crab in it.
Kathy
Oh, okay.
Josh
So Josh is like, God, these people are weird. But he sees Kathy and he's like, okay, listen, there's a vibe that's fucking around. You know, I spent all day on these fucking dishes, and they're not getting the appreciation they deserve. And I spent all day doing this, and I want it to go as good as I envisioned. And she goes, but has it gone out? Okay? And he's like, excuse me? And he's just like, don't disrespect him. Don't talk back. Kathy.
Kathy
She's like, I'm sorry, but sometimes I just have to say chocolate. Chocolate.
Josh
Chocolate.
Kathy
Acknowledge. Okay, you got that out of your system. That's fine. Now go downstairs and do something else. So it's just like we're getting to the end of the season. Intentions are rising, and I don't want this new drama to bubble out. We've had enough of it to deal with as it is. Remember the bubbles that we saw for five seconds?
Raj
Bubbles.
Kathy
It's a callback. Here comes one right now.
Raj

Kathy
Love y'.
Josh
All. So now the guys are out talking about who's waking up when. And Max is like, oh, we have to wake up at 6am So I want to go there now because that would be eight hours of sleep, you know, to be here doing nothing. We are like, crowd in pantry. And Nathan's like, but the captain asked us to stay up with the girls until the girls go down. He's like, well, you know, it's better to, you know, roll over on deck. You know, I would like to go to bed.
Kathy
This is so Max. It's like the captain Sandy literally. We didn't say this, but Captain Sandy literally said, just so you know, all the guys stay up with the girls, basically, or outside stays up with inside. And Max like, but I need to get my sleep. I need to. It's very important for me to get my sleep. If I don't get my sleep, I cannot love Kathy. It's like, shut up. And what's crazy is that, like, Nathan allows him to do this. If I were Nathan, I'd be like, you have to stay up. This is Captain's orders. I don't care how you feel. I don't care how much you're going to drag tomorrow. These are Captain's orders. And stay awake.
Josh
Yeah, I was surprised that he let him do it, too. And then he just mutters as he walks off, like, fucking Max. Well, yeah, but you're the boss, so. So Max goes down, and, you know, I'm.
Kathy
I'm.
Josh
I'm sure that people would have lost respect for Max had we had any.
Kathy
You loser.
Josh
So Captain Sandy sees. She calls Leah. She's like, oh, my God. Look at you. It's your beautiful. Oh, gosh. Thank God Apple added this function so I can see you. BB time.
Kathy
Hey. So where are you? Well, I'm. I'm in, like, Orlando. Oh, God. You know that I'm in real Barcelona, not Epcot. Barcelona. Okay, so I. Give me a moment. I'm gonna talk to the ticketing agent. I'll be right back. See you soon.
Josh
Apparently, that's really far, baby. And I need a passport. But now my passport says, baby, yawn.
Kathy
And so the Sandy's, like, bias coming for the final night. It's incredible. I can't wait to see her. I can't wait to see you, baby. I can't wait to see you. I can't wait to see you, baby. And I can't believe they killed off Judy Dench's character. Oh, my God. I didn't know that. I forgot that you see it in America first. That was a spoiler, baby.
Josh
So now comes the apple tarts with vanilla ice. Vanilla ice cream. And they're like, oh, this tastes like an ass. This is disgusting. I ate it. What did you braise it with? What did you brace this with? Meatloaf. This is disgusting.
Kathy
They kept on saying, what did you braise it with? It's got, like, a back taste. It's a black taste. I don't like it. I don't like it anymore. Send it back. I don't want it anymore. This isn't good for me. And, yeah, I suspect that he burned his caramel on that. Sorry. But then Annalise has a bigger issue. Listen, put that to town to the side, because Annelise, she wants a king crab legs. So can we get. Can we have king crab legs tomorrow?
Josh
And by the way, she hunts him down. She goes, like. To him. She's like, josh, come up here. Gross.
Kathy
So, no, I thought. I thought you were gonna. I thought you were gonna say more. More than that.
Josh
No. I knew I interrupted you. I just wanted to be Clear that she gets up from the table and marches. She's like, I want Josh right now.
Kathy
Josh, can we have king crab legs tomorrow? And then he makes a face like, oh. And she goes, don't even tell me. Don't even tell me. He's like, but we used it all today because I got half of a leg and I put it in the pasta. You used it for the ravio. The. Marissa's, like, you use it for the raviolis. Right? Okay. Use it. Okay. Because you're. All right. You know what? You're gonna have to import it. Import. Import the king crab. Because guess what? You gave me no truffle. You gave me no crab. You gave me no other things that I really liked. I'm going to come up with it later, but I'm going to come back to you, and I'll tell you that you didn't come up with it. Okay? That's three things. Three things you didn't come up with.
Josh
I put three things on my preference sheet. Big cheese girl, big truffle, and king crab legs. Okay? Zero truffle, one crab leg. Okay. I've had some cheese. I just fought it. But still, you divided that crab between eight people. That's. That's some. That's something else. And Marissa's like, she's just tired. She's. I'm not tired. I need crab legs. All right.
Kathy
Baby wants crab leg. Get me my crab leg. I mean, but the thing is, you're not the primary, so, like, yes, you like crab legs, but, like, this is going to be based on what their primary likes. He's not going to do a whole crab leg feast just for one person. But that being said, he should have some crab legs around.
Josh
Yeah. I was gonna say, I think this girl's trash, and I think her behavior is trash, and I think her whole demeanor is trash. But she's got a point. I mean, if you put crab. If you put crab leg on your sheet, you expect to get big old crab. I want to see, like, the Rockettes, you know? I want to see their legs. You know, the crab version of Rockette legs on the table. I don't want this, like, I put a little tiny bit in the middle of a ravioli. No.
Kathy
So he's like. He tells us, annelise, I can't just whip a crab leg out of my arse, okay? Like a chef with a magical ass. Like, I don't have a magical ass. I'm sorry. I'm like, honestly, even if you did have a magical arse, I really would not want a crab leg that came out of a magical ass.
Josh
But also, you're a clown, so, like, you should be able to whip a crack leg out of here.
Kathy
You actually should.
Josh
You know what I mean?
Kathy
Also, I feel like you're in Europe. I feel like crab leg. You must be able to get in Europe just seems like something.
Josh
You're in the ocean.
Kathy
I mean, it's Alaskan. Cranking crab leg. I get it. But still, it should be around. It's got to be in the freezer section somewhere, right? Because that is.
Josh
Get a prince grab. I don't care.
Kathy
Honestly, just give her something, any crab, and she'll. And just tell her, just say, I took the liberty to take the crab out of the shell for you, and here it is, and it's just, like, from a jar. I don't care.
Josh
Give her a chicken nugget and tell her it's a king crab. She'll. Oh, my God. This is exactly what I asked. Finally.
Kathy
So Annelise is so mad. She's like, whatever. I'm walking away. Okay? And he's like, all right, good night. Your mother, Your mother, your mother.
Josh
She said, your mother.
Kathy
Your mother.
Josh
So now, guys, what?
Kathy
Oh.
Josh
So, Gail, text Nathan, and she's like, oh, sorry, Mr. Call. I'm still out, but call me tomorrow. So now Kizzy can't sleep. Yeah.
Kathy
Yeah.
Josh
This one. Yeah. Both of them. All of them. Really? So Kizzy can't sleep. It's 4 in the morning. She's like, oh, my God, my doe mom. She calls her mom, and her mom's like, you'll never make it in ballet now. She's like, mom, we gave that up.
Kathy
I'm getting really frustrated because it's like, this is the last chatter. And, like, one final night out. And I just thought, what? I was really hoping it'd be a big night out and just hoping I'd get laid. Finally. Everyone else got laid this season except for me, and I'm the sluttiest one. Let me be a slut. Yeah.
Josh
So she can't sleep because of her toe. And Josh can't sleep because Dominic the cartoon's being mean to him. And I like this because Dominic goes, you know, good mate, your food is. You're not creative enough. Your mustache looks like a joke. Yeah, it's coming for the mustache, Dominic.
Kathy
He's like, wait a second. I'm starting to think this is the below deck staff trolling me now. Are you guys doing that? Because I. I don't have. I like my Mustache. That's one thing I'm conf about.
Josh
It's just.
Kathy
Honey. So Max goes down to talk to Kathy for anyone who's interested in this, which is his code word for I want to have a serious conversation. Because that's what he says every time. And she's like, oh, so you want to speak to me now? That's kind. That's kind of you. And he's like, yes, well, I just. I need to have a little nap. So sorry for yesterday. It's just he's stressing me, you know, I. I didn't sleep. She's like, well, neither could I. But mainly cuz I was so hungry because I couldn't have my chicken nuggets.
Josh
And this is. And then she hugs him. She's like, come here. She takes him, she cradles his head in her arms and she's like, this is the only way that we're going to work is if we speak it through. And he's like, oh, for sure. You are the most important person on the planet. I just want to make sure that you know this because I don't have family because one time my mother chose a chicken nugget over me. And my way of love is different for me. It's like a bit more strong. And she's like, I get that. That's why you're an obsessive stalking baby pants. And I love that. And you'll never be too much for someone that can't get enough of you. I want one day a woman to look at you the way that I look at chicken nuggets.
Kathy
You know, the only way this does work is if we speak it through. But I just want to say no promises on the listening to it through. So go on, have at it. You know what? Would you feel better if you said everything in French? Because I can't understand that. I saw that on a TV show recently with some Russian and it seemed to work for them. But in my case, it's a way for me to be able to focus on something else while you feel like we're communicating. Okay, thank you so much.
Josh
So then they get an end to their romantic black and white movie. And it says, fiend say kiss. And then Asia comes to the crewmast and finds Kizzy crying. And it's like, how did that happen? Did you boy, any chance make out with the trash cans girlfriend?
Kathy
She's like, oh, I think it's broken. I don't know how I'm gonna work. She's like, well, kissy. Okay, well, so she goes up to Sandy, and she's like, kizzy's down in the crew mess. She's been up since 3am because of whatever's wrong with her, too. And whatever's wrong with her stupid personality. Oh, maybe she broke it. So she's like, I know. Poor girl. So now we cut back to Kizzy and Joe. And Joe's making a. Making a joke. And now, because he's laughing as if she's not in any sort of pain. And they're trying to figure out this whole picnic situation because there's gonna be a picnic. And then Captain Sandy brings. He's a. Kizzy, Kizzy, kissy. Kizzy, come to the bridge. Sorry about that staircase. I guess it'd be better if I came to you. But I love that.
Josh
I love that. She's like, oh, hey, lady with a broken foot, come up the stairs to see me. That would be great. I'm. Climb, climb, sucker. Oh, you need an X ray. Let me talk to the medicine. So she gets her a doctor, and now it's time for the guests to wake up. And someone's pissed. They're like, oh, my God, I can't believe you. While we are. I was having a nightmare about crab legs.
Kathy
I had a dream that there was, like, so many crab legs and they were topped with truffles. And I was like, this. This is the. This is the yacht that I wanted to be on. And then our yacht crash and every other yacht. And I was like, yeah.
Josh
So now it's time to discuss the beach picnic. The big dramatic moment on every below deck. Who's doing the beach picnic? Aisha asked Josh if he's going, and he's like, no, I've got a lot to do. And she's like, really? And he goes, I haven't even started dinner yet. All right. I mean, what. What do you think things plate themselves? Do you.
Kathy
Do you know that it will take me 30 seconds to put each piece of steak on a plate? I can't possibly do a picnic with that sort of time pressure. I'm sorry. You'll just have to go without me. So Josh is like, no, I am not going to the beach. But then they're not gonna have a chef at the beach, which was gonna be a little bit of an issue.
Josh
Yeah. And he's like, I mean, please, it's sandwiches and a couple of salads. Like, they'll be fine.
Kathy
So, yeah, there's some sociology happening up on deck. You know what? You know, here's the. Here's the Thing with this generation, you guys, you youngins, you guys generation. You guys don't have strong men. Those are not strong men analysis. You're so right. You can't. What happened to the days when you could find a man who would travel the world to find a king crab leg for you? Go on. No men like that anymore.
Josh
And all these feminists are making men weak. And we need strong men because it's a balance, you know, you gotta have strong men and the weak women like us who just need a man to come along. And I'm like, yeah, you're a real. You're a real wilting daisy over there. Whatever they call it. Blushing daisy. But also, I don't know that she's wrong. I mean, I'm looking around this cast. I'm like, okay, I'm trying to find proof that you're incorrect. Yeah, what happened to the day where a guy will come out and club a woman over the head, drag her back into the cave, and then ask for dinner? God, I miss them days.
Kathy
You know what I hate? I hate that those. Those damn feminists being strong and advocating for themselves, and that makes the men weaker as a result. And if we have to choose between a weak woman and a weak man, obviously we want weak woman, Right? Get the strong men back here. Feminists go away. Yeah, we go. We figured it out.
Josh
Burning your bras.
Kathy
What's gonna hold up these titties? Love the logic on this show.
Josh
Sometimes super classy group. They get better with each clip. They really do. So now Asia is going to send Kathy to the beach to help with the picnic. And Kizzy may have broken her toe, so she's gonna have to leave. She's gonna have to be thrown in the wood chipper.
Kathy
And Captain Sandy goes and talks to the guests. She's like, so, guys, can you imagine what it had been like yesterday? Okay, sorry I'm late to watch another new show that I'm dabbling in. It's called told you so. It's a great TV show. I love to binge it. Sometimes I just watch episodes over and over again and go, told you so. Time for told you so. So Annalise is like, sandy, I don't even know what, like. Like, what's going on right now. I said three times yesterday. Three times. Okay, Guess what. Guess, guess. Sandy's right, okay? And they're always like, trust Captain Sandy, I guess. Trust Captain Sandy. I don't know.
Josh
There's Captain P.B. to you. So then they love you.
Kathy
Think I'm funny.
Josh
They Love their breakfast. The tender is on its way to get Kizzy to take her to the doctor. And Kizzy's like, oh, Joe, I think I've got, like.
Kathy
He's like, chlamydia.
Josh
It's like, probably. It's. What a tragedy this will be if it's the last time I see Kizzy. Oh, shut the up.
Kathy
Just.
Josh
Yeah, that's exactly what I said to my tv. I said, shut the up, bro.
Kathy
Yeah, seriously, I'm. I shed a tear for you, Lizzie Bennett. So then Kizzy's, like, crying. She's like. And meanwhile, it's time for the. The picnic. The picnic's got to get ready. So then, you know, they're. They're assembling all that stuff. And Kathy. Josh tells Kathy to dress the salad, and she's like, but you're the chef. Why should I dress the salad? This is crazy. So they're packing up this picnic understaffed. There's no kids and everything. And Joe's telling Kathy, oh, I should have kissed her toe before she left. No, you should have thrown yourself overboard before she left and done us all a favor. Yeah.
Josh
So now everybody gets on the tender, and Annalise is walking on the naughty board to get there. She's like, oh, my God, it's the wobbly. And then Kathy's bitching that she has to dress salads. She's like, this is really difficult. I mean, having to put dressing on a salad and then on a plate, a cod. I can't believe we're having to do this alone.
Kathy
And it is kind of shitty because they're all sitting there under a tent, and Kathy's, like, unpacking and unwrapping these things. Although I feel like they should have gone there before the guests to set that up. I mean, Kathy says they usually do experience. Yeah. She says the chef's over here an hour beforehand preparing the food to make sure it's still five star. But instead, they just sent us to. And I'm packing a bag, like, a packed lunch. I'm like, she's right. I think that Josh should be there. But also, why didn't you guys go ahead of time with this, with the sandwiches and the salads?
Josh
Yeah. So, yeah. So Kathy's like, well, we have a day and a half of this charter season. I mean, it would. It should matter to everybody on the boat that we're giving five star service, and Josh has just given up. And, you know, I mean, look, part of me is like, I mean, it's a salad. It's not that hard. But the other part of me sees that Josh completely has and he's being a big fucking baby. Like, Josh was pretty good this whole season because he really wasn't called out on anything other than the vegan guy. But the second he gets called out, and it's such a minor thing too, it's like, use plates. He's like, oh, God, everybody sucks this whole thing. Everybody, you know?
Kathy
Yeah. He's ridiculous. So meanwhile, so V and Max are left on the boat while everyone's on the picnic, at least from the. The. The deck team. And then Max is like, I need to get some more sleep. Which he does not need more sleep, but he's decided he does need, so. And Nathan never said that he could go down, but he decides he's gonna go down. And he's like, with. The chat was good. The guests are good. There's a number where, like, need to settle down. It's like, not gonna come from Nathan as bullshit positions. Stand up for your rats. You know, this is the guy who wanted to be lead deckhand, who's rallying to be lead deckhand. And he's. He's constantly going to. Going to bed. He drives me so nuts. And V is annoyed because now she has to basically do the work for both of them because he's. Now.
Josh
Yeah. So Nathan's like, did you guys deck refresh? And she's like, well, like, I literally ate lunch. And Max has been down and he's like, oh, for sake, Max. That's what you get for keeping Max instead of keeping Gail. So Asia is. Asia checks on Kizzy. She's still survive, unfortunately. And then Josh asked Kathy how lunch was when she gets back. It's like. I mean, it was hectic, like, with dressing, plating and then serving. I mean, it was quite a bit for me to do all in one, especially without Kizzy. And he's like, right. He's getting all mad. She's like, but, you know, it's just a lot going on. We're not getting any resting as well. I don't get a lot of rest any day, so.
Kathy
And then he's mad. He's like, you're kidding me. Here's what I'm asking you to do for lunch, okay? Move this from here to there. That's what. That's what makes everything go to shit, really. The fact that I wasn't there to put a sandwich on a plate. Well, seems like you have a hard time putting anything on a plate, so I would mind your.
Josh
I Know, mind your man who's been complaining about how hard plating is. And then she complains about it, and he's like, oh, God, it's the simplest thing on the planet.
Kathy
So it's the last day, they're excited, and Joe's like, okay, you know, I had to miss this. I had to admit this, Nathan. But I'm longing to kiss. Kiss again. I'm so horny over it because I can't have it. I just want to kiss Gizzy. I was like, oh, my God. Like, can you. Like, no one cares that you have to, like, obsess over this every single waking moment. Especially to your boss, who told you not to do this.
Josh
Yeah. And Nathan's like, oh, for sake. It's so disrespectful. And so Nathan does his whole speech about how he's such an adult now, he's grown so much. And maybe Joe, he just doesn't like Joe because he's grown so much. And Joe hasn't grown so much, which, no, you're. You're pretty much doing the same thing, obsessing over, like, your extracurriculars, who you also kind of fucked over the season. So whatever, Nathan. I'm not buying it from you either. So they hate each other now, basically. And it looks like next week it's going to come to a head and they will no longer be bros. Oh, no, no, no.
Kathy
Well, that's it. We'll see what happens.
Josh

Hosts: Ben Mandelker & Ronnie Karam
Release Date: January 20, 2026
This episode recaps and satirically skewers Part Two of "Below Deck Mediterranean," Season 10 Episode 17, with Ben and Ronnie (under their show aliases) dishing on the chaos aboard the yacht. They dissect the antics of crew and guests, notably fixating on petty drama (crab legs, burned caramel, pajama parties, and toes in crisis) and highlighting the blend of incompetence, diva demands, and Bravo-level spectacle.
“You haven’t grown. You haven’t done anything. What are you giving yourself credit for? And the show’s giving you credit, too. Like you’ve done something other than impregnate somebody. Not buying it.” (05:29)
“Frank, is this your pubic hair? If it’s your pubic hair, get over here, cuz.” (03:49)
“Sugar is the best thing in the world until it turns on you. And when it turns on you, it’s like you, you thought I was good. I’m really Satan and it chokes you, it tries to kill you. It’s evil.” (09:30)
“And all these feminists are making men weak. And we need strong men because it’s a balance... What happened to the day where a guy will come out and club a woman over the head, drag her back into the cave, and then ask for dinner? God, I miss them days.” (36:17)
“Most consistent. Kizzy’s been. Honestly. Yes. ... But the toe, she’s really consistent with the toe.” (14:09)
“Hey, lady with a broken foot, come up the stairs to see me. That would be great. ... Climb, climb, sucker.” (34:32; 34:58)
“If I don’t get my sleep, I cannot love Kathy. It’s like, shut up.” (25:04)
Nathan’s failed leadership leads to Max’s routine abandonment of deck duties, with V left to cover.
“They hate each other now, basically. And it looks like next week it’s going to come to a head and they will no longer be bros. Oh, no, no, no.” (42:53)
“I put three things on my preference sheet. Big cheese girl, big truffle, and king crab legs. ... You divided that crab between eight people. That’s ... something else.” (28:29)
“Sugar is the best thing in the world until it turns on you. And when it turns on you, it’s like you, you thought I was good. I’m really Satan and it chokes you, it tries to kill you. It’s evil.” – Kathy (09:30)
“I’m not buying this Nathan bullshit for one second. ... You haven’t grown. What are you giving yourself credit for?” – Josh, on Nathan’s self-congratulation (05:29)
“You actually should [be able to whip a crab leg out of your ass].” – Kathy, lampooning chef’s excuses (29:51)
“What happened to the days where a guy will come out and club a woman over the head, drag her back into the cave, and then ask for dinner? God, I miss them days.” – Josh, satirically roasting the guests’ gender nostalgia (36:17)
“Just give her something, any crab, and just tell her, just say, I took the liberty to take the crab out of the shell for you, and here it is, and it’s just, like, from a jar. I don’t care.” – Kathy (30:07)
The hosts (Ben and Ronnie) bring their signature, affectionate mockery, full of pop culture-laced sidebars, salty humor, and improv bits—transforming Bravo drama into comedy gold with impressions, tangents, and snappy asides. The entire episode is a whirlwind of snark, quick banter, and absurdist takes on the trivial (yet epic) tensions and foibles of guests and crew.
You don’t need to watch the original Below Deck episode to laugh out loud with this recap. Ben and Ronnie turn every petty squabble or culinary misstep into a running gag, making this a quintessential Watch What Crappens Bravo lampoon: unfiltered, affectionate, and packed with quotable zingers.
