[Ronnie Caram]

Great episode. Loved it. I was laughing my ass off. I've got a plant behind me and I guess I moved it because it looks like I have a lot of ear hair coming out of my look.

[Ben Mandelker]

It looks like you got one of those flowers.

[Ronnie Caram]

Pluck me, pluck me, pluck me.

[Ben Mandelker]

Looks like you got one of those flowers that someone attaches to their ear. You know, like you're at a little.

[Ronnie Caram]

I do. Like I should have a drink with an umbrella in it.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

Doing a little dance on a stage. Okay, so Below Deck here we are, down under it is season nine, episode four, who knows what it's called. Who care, really? God, the guests on this one. Jeez. I mean, how can you have. How can you open with Real Housewives being as obnoxious as human beings can possibly be on a boat, yet somehow this lady makes me crazier than them. You don't know how to eat a piece of bacon. She's worse. She's worse. And she dresses like a dead person. Which, you know, I mean, is that a thing now where people are like, just, we're going on a tropical vacation. I want to look like a corpse. Just do my makeup as white as possible.

[Ben Mandelker]

It looked sort of like she was auditioning to be an Amadeus or something that, like, powdered white makeup. Yes. I was like, what is happening here? I didn't understand it. And, like, the bacon thing really pissed me off. The bacon thing where she holds up a. She has a piece of bacon on her fork, and she's like, I just don't even really know how to eat this. Use your knife. If you're not gonna use your fingers, use your knife. Cut it like you would any other piece of food. Have you never encountered bacon before? Come on now.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. I was waiting for her to be like, well, the captain on the last boat we were on came and fed me this bacon. I mean, she's just one of those people who has to find a problem with everything. That's how she looks, you know, like, she's better than everybody. And it's like, you're not, though. You're not. You can't even do your makeup.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, well, maybe it's because she didn't have a place to sit and do her makeup because she's like, there's no makeup desk for me here.

[Jason (Captain)]

So.

[Ronnie Caram]

No. Cause she was like that at home, too. Remember when we saw. This is the first people that we saw at their own homes? We with their stupid cats and their stupid animals. Even their animals are stupid. Their animals are like. They got the snottiest animals they could possibly get as well. But here we go. It's day one of the chada 9am it's four hours until they get here, and Ellie has just met Ben in the galley. Ellie is still in some weird sparkle pink dress. Like she's going to some kind of weird cocktail party for girl power or something. Like a hen party or something. And she's still doing her high voice

[Ellie]

where she's like, oh, hello, it's me. Nice Ellie.

[Alicia]

It's just me. Nice Ellie. There's no problem with anybody.

[Ronnie Caram]

Hello.

[Alicia]

Hello. And, you know, at the airport, Captain Jason asked me if I would like

[Ronnie Caram]

to work in the galley.

[Alicia]

At first I thought, no way.

[Ronnie Caram]

Like, I don't know how to contribute to the galley at all. But I realized this is the way up in my alley. There's nothing I love more than finding a challenge and then conquering the challenge. I conquer challenge. It's like, yes, Ally, I can't wait to watch you conquer this one.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, she's really diving into it. And so then we see Mike and Eddie and Joao scrubbing. And Mike is like, the nose. The nose do speak seven different languages. And Joao's like, well, she's very clever, Mike. She's out of your league. We call her a real zimten. And Mike's like, but I'm gonna have to give it a blast. I'm gonna have to give it a try. So then Daisy meets Ellie and brings her to Captain Jason. And Jason's like, sorry about the change of roles, but we knew you're desperate to be on TV again, and we thought, why not throw her in the kitchen?

[Ellie]

Yes, that is all right. I'm happy to adapt. I'm happy to learn and to go. That's me happy Ellie. This is how I will be all season long. Happy, happy Ellie.

[Ronnie Caram]

Well, there's been a strong, you know, you've got. Ben's a strong character in there, and you've probably worked in these environments. By these environments I mean kitchens, right?

[Alicia]

No. Never been in a kitchen.

[Ronnie Caram]

Well, surely you've got a kitchen at home.

[Alicia]

No, no kitchen at home. Normally I eat pop Tart.

[Ronnie Caram]

All right, well, you've seen a kitchen.

[Alicia]

No idea. What do they do in kitchen? I'm ready. I'm ready, whatever it is.

[Ronnie Caram]

All right. I love this village. So she has to go in there and meet Ben, and Jason warns her. He's like, this man is terrifying.

[Ben Mandelker]

Good luck.

[Alicia]

And she's like, oh, I'm able to brush off. And I really want this to be a strong team, so don't worry about me happily coming to do the.

[Ronnie Caram]

So she goes in to meet Ben. Oh, no. Well, first Ben is talking to Daisy and he's like, well, I don't even know what a title is. I'm so confused right now. I don't want to say sous chef. I was thinking just Holly Buns. Is that. Is that a title?

[Jason (Captain)]

I was thinking of calling her Monkey

[Ben Mandelker]

Lumps, but I don't know if she'd like that very much. So Ben is like.

[Jason (Captain)]

It's like, maybe I'll call a chef's assistant. I like that quite a bit. He's starting again with someone who's apparently has no kitchen experience. It's like starting again after you've paid $50,000 for a wedding you never got to attend. It's actually pretty daunting. And I'm sensitive. No. But because I'm always one second away from the looming future outbursts. I need to finesse this one. I need to make sure that she caters to my sensitivities.

[Ronnie Caram]

Did you see Ben's ex fiance came out on TikTok or something with her expose.

[Ben Mandelker]

What did she say, Ben?

[Ronnie Caram]

She was like, hi, you guys. Like, I'm a nobody. Nobody knows who I am. But I just had to come on here, defend myself, because Ben's lying about me. I never cheated with his friends. He doesn't even have friends. I don't even know him. I didn't even know his name was Ben. Basically just kind of denying everything that he said. And then Kate Chastain put out some tweets that were like, oh, yeah, well, I've got the receipts, honey. Or as Kate would say it, I've got the receipts.

[Ben Mandelker]

So I'm already bored. I'm bored by your video. Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

So who knows? But I don't know if she's telling the truth or not, but team Ex Fiance. I'll say that.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, probably. I'm just gonna assume. I'm just gonna assume my ex fiance is correct.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, I'm just gonna go with that. So Ben's like, oh, yeah, she's got no kitchen experience, but let's see where we go. So Alicia is cleaning the bar, and Mike's nearby. So they're talking, and she's like, I

[Alicia]

don't know anything about this bar.

[Ronnie Caram]

I mean, if I leaned on it a bit, is that okay? And he's like, 100%. Thing is, I'm supposed to be a Dexter, but I've been on the interior longer, and I enjoy doing the bar work. I mean, the bar work's probably one of my favorite places. You're gonna love the bar work. You get to talk to people. Lots of birds come to the bar. Lots of birds at the bar, girl. You know, last charter, we were a man down. So with Alicia joining the interior team, I'm really, really hoping that that'll relieve some of the pressure in me nuts. That would be nice in melts to get it, but I want to spend a little more time on deck, though. I'm supposed to be catching rays of the sun, interacting with the guests, you know, bro. And with the bros, as bros do.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, he's really. He's. He's hankering to get out onto the. Onto the deck. And so we see flashbacks of. Of the house. House being like, you're so funny. You're really funny, Mike. Mike, you're the best. Oh, you are quite funny. So Mike is like, alicia, there's a few toilets down there with your name on it. That's my joke, because I want to go outside.

[Alicia]

It's time for a commercial.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's time for a crapping commercial.

And that's why HERS offers access to doctor developed treatment plans that are personalized to you.

So then he's like, alicia, do you want to be like Batman and Robin with me? And she's like, I don't understand what that is. Are they at Whistler? So then we cut to Ellie and Ben in the galley, and Ellie's like,

[Ellie]

okay, Chevy, I'm reporting for duty. Very happy to do this. Okay, what is this? Telephone.

[Ben Mandelker]

That is the biggest knife you've ever seen in your life. Don't hold it up to your face. By the way, that cleaver, did you just see, was the size of a guillotine.

[Ronnie Caram]

The cleaver was humongous, and it looked like she was cutting like a quesadilla. And it was as big as. It was as big as a guillotine. It was gigantic.

[Alicia]

She's like, oh, just me cutting little quesadilla with biggest knife in the world.

[Ronnie Caram]

This is how I do. I know.

[Ben Mandelker]

She was just really attacking it. So Ben's like, all right, well, I

[Jason (Captain)]

don't like the term galley hand, so

[Ben Mandelker]

I was thinking I would call you

[Jason (Captain)]

snuggle chunks or maybe caramel blobs.

[Ronnie Caram]

I've got a name tag being made up for your room. It's got to say sugar tits. Does that work for you? Hope that's all right.

[Ben Mandelker]

How about trickle buns? Trickle buns.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's coming up with something. Maybe monk fruit mandibles. Maybe that'll work.

[Jason (Captain)]

Potato joints. How about that?

[Ellie]

Okay. No, chef assistant is cool.

[Jason (Captain)]

He's like, okay, because I don't want to call you sous chef because that's what we went wrong last time with Dum Dum over There, I see a.

[Ben Mandelker]

Look at her.

[Jason (Captain)]

Look at her.

[Ellie]

Oh, yes, yes. Hello. Hello, Alicia.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Elliot says that term, that would

[Ellie]

be very useful on me if I were sous chef. I don't know what was going on here, but I am very sensitive person. You know, I'm not a very sensitive person. I'm from Balkans, so I'm not used. So I'm very used to tough love. I've never been cuddled. I don't even know what that's about.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yes, Ellie, famously not sensitive at all. Definitely took it on the chin with her thick skin. When Joe Bradley last season made out with Brie instead, Ellie was totally, totally chill with it.

[Alicia]

I've never been cuddled.

[Ronnie Caram]

Cuddled? You've never been cuddled? Well, we could change that, right?

[Alicia]

Cuddled. I said cuddled.

[Ronnie Caram]

But were you cuddled?

[Alicia]

Oh, you.

[Ronnie Caram]

Isn't it amazing how Ben's energy is so different with somebody when he wants to stick his penis in them?

[Ben Mandelker]

100%? He's ridiculous.

[Ronnie Caram]

So she's looking a little awkward at him, like, kind of getting an idea of what she's going to be dealing with here. And she tells us, oh, Ben slid

[Alicia]

into my DMs one time.

[Ronnie Caram]

He said he was a big fan of my pictures, so that was good. You know, it's been really awkward if I ended up working for him after we had hooked up in any way, so I'm glad that did not happen. He's like, all right, well, your duties, basically, to keep things clean, organized and look adorable, Right?

[Ben Mandelker]

That's all you have to do.

[Ellie]

Well, eventually I was thinking I could help with cruel food.

[Ben Mandelker]

And he's like, oh, that's what you're going to do today with honey buns. So she's like, oh. So Joel walks in, like, hello, messenger from Zim here. How are you? And Ben's like, well, if you see

[Jason (Captain)]

a big, sweaty monster in the fridge, that's Joao. He's the first mate. But he's actually a captain in his own right, Joel.

[Ben Mandelker]

I was like, no. Why did this feel like it was some, like, musical at, like, High School Musical? Like, the captain walks in and if

[Jason (Captain)]

you happen to see a handsome man, that's the captain. There he is right now.

[Ronnie Caram]

His name's Joao. He's a first mate, but he's a captain in his own right. Thanks, man.

[Ben Mandelker]

Thanks, mate. I'm just here trying to do a job because we have high seas to sail and we are going on the high seas and finding things, and we will find some treasure and some booty, but if we don't get home. That's right. All right. I have a lady on every island.

[Ronnie Caram]

Not only is he a first mate and a captain in his own right, he's also a good friend of mine.

[Alicia]

Thanks, mate.

[Ronnie Caram]

And then we go to Jenna and Elysia cleaning a guest room, and she's like, so you and Ben then, huh? And Jenna's like, me and Ben.

[Alicia]

I think he's cute and quirky and all that. I really don't know much about me and Ben.

[Ben Mandelker]

It was like the return of Darby from.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yes, that's what I thought, too. When they show Daisy going, come on, Jana, I can't understand the goddamn word you're saying.

[Ben Mandelker]

It was thought of.

[Jason (Captain)]

You got to speak up.

[Ben Mandelker]

From Real Housewives of Cheshire. This girl Darby or Dabi would not say. Like, you could not hear anything she would say. And it was, like, the funniest thing. It was just a. It was just this girl. It was just.

[Ronnie Caram]

Just. So, yeah, they're talking.

[Alicia]

It's like, me and Ben. I think he's cute and quacking, all that. But I think it's fun to just

[Ronnie Caram]

a little flirt, right?

[Alicia]

Say, and you. How are you and your boyfriend getting on? Have you had, like, any second guesses having a boyfriend while being on the boat?

[Ronnie Caram]

And she's like, I know exactly what you mean. And, yes, I have. It's very difficult.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yes. And then Jenna is like,

[Jason (Captain)]

I don't

[Ben Mandelker]

understand what you're saying, but if you ask if you're someone who's my type, I've got a bad poker face. So, no, there's no one who's my type whatsoever.

[Ronnie Caram]

All right, we're one hour away from guest arrival. Dun, dun, dun. So we go to Ben and Mike in the galley, and Mike's like, oh,

[Alicia]

Ellie, what was she like then? What was she like then?

[Ronnie Caram]

Ah, she's really, like, really, really good, man. Let me tell you. She does a downward dog backwards off of a couch.

[Ben Mandelker]

Is it even going downward at that point? So then Jenna is radioing Daisy and everyone, and basically they are. There's a lot of radioing going on. I think this is when they're starting to get ready to. For the guests to come in, you know, and. No, it's not. I'm sorry. It's. A lot of things happen.

[Ronnie Caram]

I.

[Ben Mandelker]

Believe it or not, I actually watched the show twice last night.

[Ronnie Caram]

Twice. Why would you do that?

[Ben Mandelker]

Well, once was to watch the show, and twice was to find the fish for the fish report. So I basically watched it twice. So I feel like I Was like, oh, I'm gonna be great on this rehab, because I know it inside and out. And literally out the gates. I'm like, wait, what happened? Where's Mike? Where'd they go?

[Ronnie Caram]

Well, don't worry. Ben and Ellie are prepping crew lunch, and Alicia is right outside. I just pronounce her name different every time. Alicia is right outside.

[Ben Mandelker]

You know what? I put some energy into understanding how to say her name, because I could have sworn last week, Daisy said Alicia. So I was like, oh, it's Alicia. But then this week, Alicia.

[Ronnie Caram]

And that's why I call her Alicia. But, you know, sometimes it's Alicia if I'm feeling fancy. So Ben's like, all right, let's make some sandwiches for the crew. All right, we can bang that out. No pun intended. Although, do you bang? Have you ever been baked cuddled? All right, we'll just drop that one, darling. All right.

[Alicia]

Do you separate the cutting boards by color?

[Ronnie Caram]

Oh, well, we don't, because we just have to wash them. Really? Well, because I'm colorblind, so it just doesn't help, you know? So listen, color. Colorblind. People don't believe in salmonella.

[Ellie]

All right, Honey, are you actually colorblind?

[Jason (Captain)]

He's like, I am, sugar tits.

[Ellie]

Wow. So how does the world look to you?

[Jason (Captain)]

He goes, right now, you look like a Martian.

[Ellie]

A hot Martian. Please tell me I'm a hot Martian. Are you messing with me?

[Ronnie Caram]

I am messing with you, but I am colorblind. That is the truth. Little honey sugar face. Face. It's like, oh, fascinating. It's like, oh, isn't it, though? It is fascinating. Super fascinating. And so they're giggling, and Alicia is outside listening to them. She's like, why are they giggling? I mean, it's almost, like, eerily happy. What's going on in there? All right, well done. All right. Look at that first meal. Crushed it. All right. Literally crushed Doritos with a piece of lettuce on top. They're gonna love it. All right, let's get these out. Perfect. All right. You do things so quickly. You learn. You know how to learn.

[Ben Mandelker]

You're doing great. Rhubarb mounds. So then Jason radios. Everyone's like, all right, everyone, 25 minute warning until the guests arrive. So the guests are, like, landing in a plane. Somehow this woman's face is paler than. It's like, did she spread cream cheese on her face? Was she doing some bagel cosplay?

[Ronnie Caram]

Is she pretending that she's a pool cue? And it's almost time to shoot like, what is happening?

[Ben Mandelker]

She's doing. Her kink is pool cue.

[Ronnie Caram]

I mean, is someone gonna come put their hands all over their face before they do gymnastics at the Olympics? What is happening?

[Ben Mandelker]

Is she about to dangle from a ring with her teeth? Why is her face full of powder?

[Ronnie Caram]

Did somebody use her face to clean off a chalkboard?

[Ben Mandelker]

Did she just. Does she have a massive cocaine problem? So they're arriving, and then Ben. Ellie. Ben is like, well, I was looking

[Jason (Captain)]

at pictures of Slovenia.

[Ben Mandelker]

It's gorgeous.

[Jason (Captain)]

Does it snow there? That must be beautiful.

[Ellie]

Yes, yes. We have a very strong ski team. Skiing is a bit like in Slovenia. It's very big. That's why I never. Never ski. But if you need me to ski right now, I will ski. I will do that for you. I. I overachieve.

[Alicia]

I'm just here to please. You need a skier.

[Ronnie Caram]

I will be skiing like, okay, calm down. So he's like, all right, well, we've got time. You know, everybody else is getting in their whites. But let me tell you one thing. In this kitchen, we've always got plenty of time. All right, sweet sweets.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yes. No rush whatsoever.

[Ronnie Caram]

Never a rush.

[Ben Mandelker]

So the guests are approaching, and then they're all like, oh, my God. Was. There's the boat. Is that the boat that. The boats? And then everyone is, like. Everyone's, like, rushing because they're already late as it is as a group. But then Ben and Ellie are just still in the galley, and they're just like. They're not listening to the fact that they're being summoned into the main salon, and they're just gabbing and gabbing and gabbing, and then suddenly they realize. And then they're like. They run out, and Ben gets his coat and everything. But Ellie's, like, cramming herself into the skirt that doesn't even fit. And they're. I. I was like, okay, this is just editing. They'll be fine. They'll line up right there as the guests get there. But no, the guests basically show up, and there's no one standing out there.

[Ronnie Caram]

And the little bridge thing to, like, the whatever. The pathway to come up onto the boat is not even drawn, you guys, or. It is drawn. It is drawn. It's not put down. And so the guests are just staring there at that. And Captain Jason's on the radio like, oh, I don't care. You can get here by airway. You can get here by sailway. I don't care how you get here. Just get here if you can. All right. Thank you, Alita. Adams of you for that.

[Ben Mandelker]

All right, you know what? We need to start the charter team together as a team, and front and center ready to go. This is unacceptable. So then they. He welcomes them, and they're like, where's. What's going on here? This is what's going nowhere. We're the only ones here. Well, don't let it happen again, okay, guys? Don't let it happen again.

[Ronnie Caram]

He's making a joke. And Jason's like, I understand there's been a couple of changes in the galley. However, I expect more from Ben. Ben should be ready to go. All right, this is where I get the shits. Because if we start strong, we finish strong. We start like this, I'm gonna have a trail of poo poo coming down my leg into my sock, and I do not like changing my socks.

[Ben Mandelker]

That trail of poo poo will be traveling farther than me when I got caught in a current and had to be picked up by a fishing boat. Don't worry. You'll hear the whole story later.

[Ronnie Caram]

So he apologizes to the guest, and then he's like, all right, all right, all right, we're here now. Now, everything on your preference sheet, we'll now it into. We've got it all. Yeah, Come on and get your champagne. If you want to follow me in here, do it.

[Ben Mandelker]

Starting strong. So Joao's like, like, okay, everyone, you go to there. You go to the left, you go to the right, you do a little dance. And I'm gonna go look at something that's metal. Okay, everyone. Zimbabwe. And then the rest are going. Daisy starts taking one on a tour. Like, here's a bedroom. Here's another bedroom. And that's another bedroom. What else do you want for me?

[Ronnie Caram]

Each one of these little cubicles is one more place for ya to make me crazy.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Jason goes up to Ben in the galley, and Ben's like, I'm sorry, man.

[Jason (Captain)]

I'm just a bit more sensitive these days since I spent $50,000 on a wedding that I couldn't even attend.

[Ronnie Caram]

All right, well, I need you to start thinking ahead. Yeah, well, it's been a lot of discombobulation. I'm not used to it yet. You know what I mean? I've had to explain what colorblindness is to someone from SL Lavinia. Do you understand how that goes?

[Jason (Captain)]

Do you know that they ski there?

[Ben Mandelker]

So Ben is like. Jason's like, all right, it's okay. It's really good. I really appreciate you, Jason. I really do. Really.

[Jason (Captain)]

Okay.

[Ben Mandelker]

You're gone now. All right, I'll just sit here quietly.

[Ronnie Caram]

All right, so tour continues. And the primary Annette is like, there's no makeup table in my room. You do not need any more makeup, okay? This is called an intervention. There was a makeup table, and they saw your ass coming down, and they got rid of the makeup table, okay? That's why they relate. No more makeup for you, lady.

[Ben Mandelker]

You can have more makeup. Go ahead. But the thing is, the problem is that we just know more of the white, powdery foundation. That's it. You could do other things, but we're.

[Ronnie Caram]

No, you're cut off.

[Ben Mandelker]

You're cut off the white foundation.

[Ronnie Caram]

The coalition of Marcel Marceau has come to take back the makeup table.

[Ben Mandelker]

The French Revolution called, and they want their supplies back. So

[Ronnie Caram]

the cast of Haunted Mansion was like, we're running out of makeup.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Jason is like, all right, Batul, take the lawn. And she's like, cool, take the lawn. And so she's taking the line. She's, like, picking up and just putting it down, picking it up and putting it down. She can't understand what he's saying, so she's like. And then Joao's telling Jason they just help with this line situation. And, you know, Jason's getting annoyed that Betool's, like, being a little slow on the uptick and doesn't seem to be able to follow. And Batul is just like, everything will be fine. Everything will be fine. She tells us, I think my English is good enough, but I have to deal with different accents. And sometimes it triggers me. I want to do, like, boom. Speak proper. But, you know, because there's a Zimbabwe accent and there's Australian and there's Mike's British accent. And with each one, we see an example. And the truth is, like, I don't know how she does it. I really don't. Because, you know, Joao's like, And then there's like, oh, grab the sheila over there and put her over the loo. And then there's Mike.

[Jason (Captain)]

Like,

[Ben Mandelker]

it's like, how does she. How does she do this? I don't know.

[Ronnie Caram]

It gets to Mike, and all she hears are, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs. And she's like, this is hard. And the producer asks, who is the hardest to understand, and she's like, oh, my God, Jenna, girl, move your lips. And then we see the flashback of Jenna walking by Daisy, and she's like, I cannot understand the goddamn words you're saying, girl.

[Ben Mandelker]

Dobby, speak Up.

[Jason (Captain)]

So,

[Ronnie Caram]

yeah, she's like, mount Daisy tells Mike to go on his two hour break. And we go to the Ben and Ellie in the galley. And he's like, I'm not sure about our charter guest. I didn't like the way he said, don't let it happen again to Jason for five minutes late. I mean, that unnerves me, by the way. I do not like that. I do not like being called that by guests.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. So now he's all unsettled and he's

[Jason (Captain)]

like, first child, they did not give a toss. Like, housewives don't care about food because they're a bit too busy arguing. Stupid women, these guys, they have standards. I'm like, like, firstly, don't be fooled by my confident facade. I'm a nervous Nelly on the inside. Can't you tell me?

[Alicia]

She's like, we've got this. We've got this. Positive affirmations.

[Ronnie Caram]

We've got this, buddy. So we go to Daisy and Joao talking. She's like, ah, it's probably gonna be a quarter to four when they go off snorkeling. Cause lunch is at 2:30. I'm gonna send Mike with you.

[Alicia]

Is that okay?

[Ronnie Caram]

He's like, well, it would be nice to teach. I'm a little more on deck, you know, maybe having a little bit more out there. I'm really getting used to the smell of Aquanet 100%.

[Ben Mandelker]

Always ask me if you need them. So then Jenna goes up to Daisy

[Ellie]

and is like, campari.

[Jason (Captain)]

She's like, what?

[Ellie]

What are you saying?

[Jason (Captain)]

Jenna, you have to speak up. You want a. Annette wants a Campari.

[Ben Mandelker]

Okay, thank you very much.

[Ronnie Caram]

Well, unfortunately, I'm not able to get fresh grapefruit. You watch your mouth, young lady. Jason radios the deck to get ready, and it's anchor time. And now Eddie tries to turn the anchor and something comes off and he's like, wow, wow. Almost dies, but it works out. Then Jenna is serving Annette her drink and Annette's like, oh, can I have a straw? Yeah. I mean, the umbrella's cute, but you can't drink from an umbrella.

[Alicia]

So.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, a straw would be good. I don't drink from umbrellas. So if you have a straw, that would be good. Any straw that's not an umbrella. Just concentrate on that. That would be great.

[Ben Mandelker]

She's gonna regret that because that's all she wants at the end of the episode is an umbrella. So now at 227.

[Ronnie Caram]

No kidding. She got her karma, huh? That's a good point.

[Ben Mandelker]

Now it's 227. And the truth is there's no place like home. And the guest asks, I watched an episode of 227 very recently, like, three weeks ago, because.

[Ronnie Caram]

Does it hold up?

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, it does, actually. But what was very funny was that Lester went to the hospital in the episode, and then there was, like, an attendant doctor, and she was like this young lady with long hair. And everyone was like, you're the doctor. And they were, like, not happy with it. And I was like, gosh, she looks familiar. Guess who it was. Rita Wilson. A young rita Wilson on 227.

[Ronnie Caram]

Wow.

[Ben Mandelker]

227 is where all the stars begin. I'll tell you where.

[Ronnie Caram]

Everybody made it. Yeah, everyone made it. School. School of 227. Who'd have thought I missed that show? I wish. I wish Pearl could be on this show. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the boat. Lazy's gonna give you a tour. I'm sorry, we're out of grapefruit. Blaine. Mary.

[Ben Mandelker]

I'm concerned for Marla Gibbs. She's old now. I mean, she really is up there. I mean, how old is she? She is 94 years old.

[Ronnie Caram]

Holy Marla. You go, girl.

[Ben Mandelker]

What an icon. What a wonderful person, you know?

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, I love her. Yeah, it's classic flow. Okay, so they get their drinks and stuff, and they're waiting for lunch. And someone's like, ah, well, they didn't have fresh grapefruit. Oh, good. So I'm waiting for a straw to drink some bottled grapefruit. Wow, that's great.

[Ben Mandelker]

Wow. So they're really. She's. Annette does not like this. This bottled grapefruit juice. And then we cut to the galley, and then he is like, I like pears.

[Jason (Captain)]

And Ben is like, oh, so you're partial to pears? Leafy brows. Well, lovely. I have a pair of partiality as well.

[Ellie]

Oh, do you like to sort your pairs by color? Oh, sorry. Sensitive topic.

[Alicia]

You know what I love the most about the pair? Their color.

[Ellie]

Whoops. Have you ever gone skiing with pears?

[Ben Mandelker]

I have.

[Ellie]

Many times in Slovenia. Oops. Sensitive topic.

[Ronnie Caram]

Well, I just so happen to have a pear partiality as well, darling. I just like that I have a pear partiality. It's the name of a band. Parciality.

[Ben Mandelker]

Here comes one right now.

[Ronnie Caram]

So we go to the guests. They're still bitching because they're waiting for food. And then Daisy comes to the galley, and she's like, did you hear that? Did you hear that? They're ready for lunch. I'm gonna go up and speak to them now. I'm just moving slowly. Days. All right, it's slower days here, Daisy. So the guests are asking for drinks and Jason's instructing the crew and Batul is still having trouble understanding. It's a big betul episode.

[Ben Mandelker]

Big betul. I love Batul, by the way. This is a big Batul episode. But also like I love Batul now. It was like, it really worked for me. I really, I was like really into her story and I love her. I love her energy. So, yeah, big, big Patul fan over here now, if anyone wants to know. And meanwhile, Jenna, if anyone wants to keep updates on where Ben stands with

[Ronnie Caram]

various tool stand on. What would a Batul stand call themselves?

[Ben Mandelker]

B. Tool.

[Ronnie Caram]

Batul Bottoms Batuls.

[Ben Mandelker]

But tool sheds.

[Ronnie Caram]

But tool sheds. But tool times.

[Ben Mandelker]

Patual time. Patul. Do you know what I'm really doing right now? I'm not even going to lie. I'm seeing if like there's some weird, divine, strange thing like that someone from 227 is like their birthday today. Because I feel like it's someone's birthday. Like I like, I feel like it's going to be some weird thing where like it's like it's going to be like Brenda's birthday. I'm forgetting her name. Very famous actress, glad to win an Oscar. What?

[Ronnie Caram]

Blevin.

[Ben Mandelker]

Brenda Blevin. That would be great too. I would be open to her brethren. It's Paula Zahn's birthday. I just want to point out happy birthday.

[Alicia]

I don't need to hear another happy birthday for as long as I live. But you do whatever you want, darling.

[Ronnie Caram]

Happy birthday to you, Brenda Blevin.

[Alicia]

Oh, well, from my birthday, I found out that I've got a daughter. I didn't even know about her.

[Ellie]

Terribly sorry, but today's not my birthday.

[Ben Mandelker]

Are you sure about it? I see that it actually is.

[Ellie]

Oh, God, I forgot. I forgot all about it.

[Ben Mandelker]

If you haven't watched Secrets and Lies, someday we'll just have to do a secrets and lies recap. We just have to do it. We'll do it as a big like when the schedule is slow. We're just gonna sit down and we'll do a four part recap of secrets in life.

[Alicia]

Well, I've got an announcement today it's not Brenda Blevin's birthday, but I can whose it is. It's Kristen Davis's birthday. Emily Blunt's birthday. Who else's birthday? I don't know because I'm not gonna pay to [e-mail].

[Ellie]

well, aside from Paul Lasanne. It's also Edward James Olmos's birthday, Barry Bostwick's birthday, and also the birthday of no one else.

[Jason (Captain)]

Interesting.

[Ben Mandelker]

This is a real.

[Alicia]

Well, Steve Jobs. It's Steve Jobs birthday, isn't it? Hello. Happy birthday, Steve Jobs. Thanks for what you did to the iPhone, Steve Jobs.

[Ellie]

It's also the birthday of. Congratulations, Beth Broderick, whoever you are.

[Alicia]

Congratulations to Spider Sammy a Roblox star, and Floyd Mayweather, who's probably not very happy being on the list of someone named Spider Sammy A.

[Ellie]

It's also the birthday of Billy Zane, Angelian Flynn, and also

[Ben Mandelker]

you're really struggling.

[Ellie]

I think that's about it. I think that's about it.

[Ben Mandelker]

There really is

[Ellie]

quite a dearth of notable birthdays today.

[Ben Mandelker]

How dare you, Steve Jobs.

[Ronnie Caram]

I mean, there's some big ones. Floyd Mayweather, Steve Jobs.

[Ben Mandelker]

Some days have just like. It's like, oh, my God. And this person, too. And this person too. And there's like, literally, Earl Sweatshirt, Earl Sweatshirt.

[Ronnie Caram]

You're not gonna be happy until it's like, park overall. That's it. So Jenna comes downstairs. Daisy's doing laundry, and Jenna's like, all

[Alicia]

right, now I have to do some multicount mules for everyone plus one Bloody Mary.

[Ronnie Caram]

When Ben is late, it means they're bored. And we've already been late greeting the guests, and now we're late for lunch. And the pressure and the stools to

[Alicia]

keep these guests happy, I can't take it.

[Ronnie Caram]

So downstairs, Ben is like, oh, you. Hey, there, monk fruit man. I've already said something with Monk fru.

[Jason (Captain)]

Won't go back, but really on the

[Ben Mandelker]

Monk fruit really got.

[Ronnie Caram]

I'm really obsessed with monk fruit today. All right, coconut clavicles, let's get to it. Your energy is good, I can tell. It's good for me, you know, because when I grew up in kitchens, they were brutal. I got a frying pan, a hot frying pan thrown at my head, you know, so be grateful I'm a nice man, a very nice man. When I'm talking to someone, I want to bang.

[Jason (Captain)]

That's right.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Alicia and Jenna are by the bar, and Jenna is like, you know

[Ellie]

how to make a What?

[Ben Mandelker]

Oh, you know how to make a bloody mare? Of course I do. It's my favorite thing to drink.

[Jason (Captain)]

Okay.

[Ben Mandelker]

One part kiwi, one part turpentine, one part drywall.

[Ellie]

There you go.

[Ben Mandelker]

Bloody Mary.

[Ellie]

You really aren't very good at this, are you?

[Ronnie Caram]

Have you. This is another thing I saw on the Internet. This week was so funny. There was a Reddit thread saying, oh, I've got a Not conspiracy, but I've got a theory that Alicia isn't her. That Alicia is not even Alicia. Alicia has a twin sister. So this person is guessing that the twin sister, Alicia was like, fuck this, I'm in love. I'm in Whistler. You do it for me. And the sister came on and took her place. And that's why the sister didn't know anything in the kitchen. Cause Alicia wasn't completely incompetent last year. She didn't know much, but she was, you know, she could do stuff. And this one doesn't know how to do anything. So people are saying they think the twin sister came on and stole the job. I doubt that that's true, but, God, I hope that's true. Wouldn't that be amazing?

[Ben Mandelker]

That's so devious and so low stakes. Hitchcockian. I would love that. I mean, it's like that one season of Big Brother where they did that, where they had twins swapping in and out. But, like, that is. I'm gonna say that that's what it is. That this is her. It's not her evil twin. It's just her dumb twin who just has no idea what to do in the kitchen. Because that's wild.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, yeah. Love it. So, Daisy. Oh, we already did that. So Ben's like, all right, most chefs are made. You're lucky. I'm not me. Now listen, now. I got hit in the head with the pen. And not only did it hurt, golly, golly, we're ready to go. But I'm not. Don't listen to that. I'm in the middle of a story. You don't have to listen to that. Alicia, can you go down and start running the food when it's ready, please, please?

[Ben Mandelker]

So galley is just like, you know, they're just chatting away in the galley, just chatting, chatting, chatting, ignoring Daisy and Nelly's.

[Ellie]

Like, when I was eight, there were bombs falling from the sky. So I'm very sorry about the pan that hit your head because we had bombs and mortar and shells and buildings falling on us. But anyway, tell me more about your pen story. That's very fun.

[Ronnie Caram]

This was such a funny throwaway. I mean, it's so dark, but it was just so funny because he's like, when I was a child, I didn't have much support.

[Alicia]

She goes, well, when I was eight, there were falling on my head

[Ronnie Caram]

so quick. And then they just cut away. It's like, oh, my God. And Ben's like, what did she say all the way there?

[Alicia]

She's like, I don't know. Did you hear me talk about the bomb falling from sky?

[Ronnie Caram]

So Jenna serves drinks, and Annette's like, oh, this is spicy, and it's sweet. I'm gonna need to see the bottle this came in. I wanna see the ingredients.

[Alicia]

Okay.

[Ronnie Caram]

And so Jenna's like, days and days,

[Alicia]

and lady would like to see the ingredients of the blood of Mary.

[Ronnie Caram]

She's like, oh, God, so annoying. God damn it, Marcel Moso.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Daisy brings the bloody Mary ingredient, like, a tray of the bloody Mary ingredients up. And this girl. And that is just so dumb.

[Jason (Captain)]

She's like.

[Ben Mandelker]

She picks up the bottle of Worcester sauce. Worcestershire sauce, which, by the way, is like, in every bloody marriage. Oh, it was. Well, she goes, it's the Worcester sauce, because I think you. You pronounce the town as Worcester despite the fact that it's spelled Worcestershire. But the sauce. Worcestershire.

[Ronnie Caram]

Worcestershire. Worcestershire.

[Ben Mandelker]

Don't you call the sauce Worcestershire sauce?

[Ronnie Caram]

But I call it Worcestershire sauce.

[Ben Mandelker]

So she's like, it's. It's the Worcester sauce. That's what it is.

[Ellie]

Lady Worcestershire sauce. Is that Worcestershire sauce is not sweet.

[Ben Mandelker]

That does not make it sweet. That's. What are you talking about? It's umami.

[Ronnie Caram]

She's crazy. I know.

[Ben Mandelker]

She's an idiot.

[Ronnie Caram]

And that's what I love about people like that. They're acting so snotty, like there's something only I can taste because I have a palette. You guys, we're rich. So please bring me all the ingredients so I can discover what putting in this. It doesn't. Oh, it's the Worcester sauce, of course. You don't even know what you're talking about, you ignorant pale face. Shut up, ghost face. Shut up.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, she like the fact that she thinks like that. She's acting as if, like, oh, they must have put this sauce into this. Into this Bloody Mary. They made it differently. It's like, no, this is. It's. It's a fundamental ingredient to Bloody Mary's. Yes, stupid face.

[Ronnie Caram]

So down in the galley, Ellie's like,

[Alicia]

oh, these knives are horrible. I'm sorry. I'm trying my best.

[Ronnie Caram]

He's like, no, no, you did well. You did well. Which I'm only saying to ready your womb for my penis tantal.

[Alicia]

Thank you.

[Ronnie Caram]

So Daisy comes in, and he's like, hold on, Daisy. Meanwhile, the guests are upstairs.

[Alicia]

Like, I am so hungry.

[Ronnie Caram]

Oh, my God. My stomach needs food more than my drink needs a straw, because who uses umbrellas to drink?

[Alicia]

Am I right?

[Ben Mandelker]

Just a little update. It's not Worcestershire sauce, but it's also. It's Worcestershire sheer sauce. It's not Worcestershire sauce, though.

[Ronnie Caram]

Worcestershire sauce is so dumb. But the point is, she was Worcestershire sauce.

[Ben Mandelker]

She was saying Worcestershire sauce, and we were saying, no, it's Worcestershire sauce. It's just Worcestershire. It's Worcestershire sauce. Worcestershire, not Worcestershire sauce.

[Ronnie Caram]

The point is, it was a Worcester sauce. Don't drag me in. The worst apology.

[Ben Mandelker]

I said it with authority.

[Ronnie Caram]

I have to apologize for enough without being dragged into a Worcester. A Worcester scandal.

[Ben Mandelker]

Worse assure. Worse assure. I'll tell you who's the worst assure. She sure is.

[Alicia]

David.

[Ben Mandelker]

So how are. Stop making jokes about Worcestershire sauce down there in the galley. We need to serve lunch.

[Jason (Captain)]

He's like, hold on one second. I'm just looking up for the fourth time how to pronounce this word.

[Ben Mandelker]

No, the guests are hungry. They need to be served. So they. They're all up there, hungry and angry and in one case, surprised that there's Worcestershire sauce in her Bloody Mary. Will they ever be served?

[Alicia]

Like, what are we having a liquid lunch?

[Ellie]

Oh, geez.

So Jenna brings guests some Moscow Mules. And now the food starts coming finally. And meanwhile, Eddie's asking for life jackets for people that can't swim. And Batul's like, what? What did he say? What did he say? I can't hear. That's not good.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. About to say, when it comes to live jackets, that's bad. When you. It's like, I don't know what you're saying.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. So then the guests are eating, and of course, she's. Someone's like, oh, my God, these noodles. It's Annette.

[Ben Mandelker]

It's Annette.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's Anette. She's like, yeah, these noodles aren't really my cup of tea. And I like that nobody really followed her. Cause I think a lot of times when the primary says stuff like that, other people will agree to make them. Them feel better, you know, like, yeah, you're right. These noodles aren't great. But everyone else is like, no, these noodles are amazing. What are you talking about? Even her husband's like, no, these are pretty good.

[Ben Mandelker]

And that's like, no one likes Annette. They're there.

[Ronnie Caram]

I'm getting ahead by not enjoying these noodles properly. And you're ruining it.

[Alicia]

You're ruining it.

[Ben Mandelker]

These noodles aren't my cup of tea. Literally. I went to sip them, and they were not tea. They were noodles. And I was really upset about that. Oh, my God.

[Ronnie Caram]

I would really like some instruction on how to drink these noodles.

[Jason (Captain)]

She.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, I think there. I think everyone else there is friends with the husband. They probably have worked with the husband or something. They all. It seems like they can't stand her. Later on in the episode, when they go to the beach, they all essentially leave her behind and go to the beach bar to be away from her. So, you know. Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

When she's like, I'm dying. I'm dying. They're like, good. Thank God we're around some sand. Just bury her now.

[Ben Mandelker]

I know. So Daisy is running the food. And then I like that Daisy leaves the galley going. Everything's so slow. Like, they can obviously hear it. She's like, it's just so slow in the galley. It's just so slow five feet from Ben.

[Ronnie Caram]

So she serves a scallop cake, and everyone's like, oh, my God, this scallop cake is amazing. Holy shit. Is it my birthday? Put a candle this and get me a scallop cake. Was a Brenda Blezin's birthday, right? That's today.

[Alicia]

Like, no, it's Marla Gibbs. God, she's still with us.

[Ronnie Caram]

Good for her. And then it just cuts to Annette, and Annette's like, yeah, I like scallops in their whole form. Not like this.

[Ben Mandelker]

It's just so dumb. I mean, I get it if maybe you're not someone who enjoys the cakes. Oh, my God, Ronnie.

[Ronnie Caram]

What?

[Ben Mandelker]

Brenda Bleffin's birthday was earlier this week. I knew there was someone's birthday around.

[Ronnie Caram]

You felt Brenda's. You felt Brenda Bledin's birthday?

[Ben Mandelker]

I suddenly realized you left her. When you. When you mentioned Brenda Bledin this time, I was like, wait a second.

[Ronnie Caram]

Why are.

[Ben Mandelker]

Why are we not looking up her birthday? Her birthday is February 20th. And for a moment, I thought, oh, my God, September 20th. Oh, my God, there it is. Glad we could figure that one out. Okay. She seems so stupid about this scallop cake. I mean, it looks.

[Ronnie Caram]

You know, if it's one thing. Look, I don't know about a scallop cake in general. Like, that sounds gross to me. Me and you just had a conversation about scall. Scallops the other day because we were at a food festival, and, you know, I was like, I don't really like a raw scallop. It's like a booger. It's like a cold, slimy booger. I don't like it, but I love a cooked scallop. You know, we had that discuss. It's not like it's crazy to say that. It's just that every little thing that comes to this lady, she's just like, oh, look, I'm so smart. So much smarter than you because I'm not into scallop cakes.

[Alicia]

You guys are heathens.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, she says it in a way, like it's almost like from McDonald's. Like, I prefer it and it's like most more. And it's in its full form. I guarantee that cake is delicious. Probably has little pieces of corn in it. It's lovely.
