You guys, I have some legendary news for you. Twenty years after its debut, the HBO original comedy series the Comeback is finally back. I've always loved how the show skewers Hollywood and seeing Lisa Kudrow return as the iconic Valerie Cherish, exactly what we need right now.
Daisy
This season picks up over a decade later. Valerie is finally starring in a new show. But here's the twist. It's being written by AI. She's still navigating the chaos in the industry and chasing those big dreams with that same Valerie Cherish energy we adore.
Ben
If you're watching this season, and you really should be, by the way, you've got to check out the official Comeback. Podcast host Evan Ross Katz is joined by Lisa Kudrow and Michael Patrick King to unpack every episode to dive into the show's origins and why Valerie is still such a relatable, resilient character after two decades.
Daisy
You'll also hear from cast members like Laura Silverman and Ella Stiller, plus comedy powerhouses like Abby Jacobson and John Early. For anyone who loves a behind the scenes look at how iconic TV is made, this is a must. Listen.
Ben
Stream the HBO original series the Comeback on HBO max Sundays at 10:30pm and watch the Comeback podcast on HBO Max. Or listen wherever you get your podcasts. Watch what happens. Watch what crap. Who cares what happens when this. There's so much. That crappens. Hello and welcome to Watch what Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. This is part two of the recap. If you missed part one, go check out your podcast feed. It's right there. And without further ado, let's get right back into the recap.
Daisy
So we go to Mike and Jenna. And Mike's like Jenna who sell cabins.
Ellie
And she goes, why? What's wrong?
Daisy
There was a party lot cupboard.
Ellie
You're lying. I swear. Swear to God. I'm like, I'm traumatized even thinking about here. Imagine it was used. Like, how much do we not see? How do we not see this? How? We're not there.
Daisy
All right, Guys are not being cleaned out properly.
Ben
All right?
Ellie
Someone is spreading their legs, attaching to
Daisy
the Walls of the inside of the
Ellie
cupboards and then removing themselves, leaving panty liners. We got to be more on that. Embarrassing. Like, that's the worst thing that could
Ben
possibly be in your cupboard. Well, I think the worst thing would be, like, a dead body, personally, but that's fine. Penny liner is also up there. So Daisy is like, when was the last time you checked the cupboard?
Ellie
What happened again?
Ben
Bar Charter 4, though.
Ellie
Simple things like those. Oh, no. I know.
Ben
How do you miss a panty liner?
Ellie
Hello. I up. All this Eddie and Alicia bullshit's really been consuming my mind.
Ben
I'm really up on my job. Sure. Blame it on them.
Daisy
Yeah, Well, I mean, who looks at the inside of the closet wall, you know? I mean, I guess it miss. That's a pretty bad one. I mean, it's pretty bad. It's a panty liner. Not saying anyone, you know, but still. So Mike cleans up the crew mess, and Daisy's like, ah, look at your mic. This is my dream.
Ellie
This is, like how I get turned on.
Daisy
He's like, finally figured it out.
Ellie
Really?
Daisy
I might just take it back after. Not out and clean the mess just
Ellie
for you won't see me try.
Daisy
Calm down, Mike.
Ellie
It's a.
Ben
It's a figure.
Daisy
It's a turn of phrase.
Ben
I know.
Daisy
Zip your pants up, Mike.
Ben
All right, now, honey boobs, can you run up and grab another bottle of wine, please? Thanks, Boo Boo. He really does say boo Boo. And Ellie is like, I went through war for this. So then Daisy is talking to Jason. So I guess found a panty liner stuck in the wardrobe. Oh, my God. Which is our fault because we didn't find it. But I've spoken to them, and I think they've learned their lesson to check. Well, you guys really need to step it up. Yeah. In case they bring it up, I wanted you to know there's a panty liner on the wall in the closet. Pass it on.
Ellie
Do we have a red onion, sweetie pie? No, no.
Ben
She's gonna kill him.
Daisy
Every time they cut to him, he is just. He is like a gun of just sexist. It's like boom, boom, boom. Every time they turn to Ben, he's
Ellie
like, oh, yeah, sugar lips. Honey pie, Sweetie bun.
Ben
Boo Boo.
Ellie
Tulip, tongue,
Ben
butter, ligaments. So now the guests are, like, playing in the water slide. Poor guy falls off before he even gets up to the top of the slide. And then Jenna and Daze, you're cleaning. And Jen is just saying she's really taking it hard because she actually, unlike everyone else under Daisy she seems to actually care about her job. And so she's saying it's just been, like, a shitty start.
Ellie
And, well, now you know to check the cupboards.
Daisy
So the guests dance and record videos by the slide. And then Eddie is helping this guest out of the water. She's coming out of the water and he's like, would you like some help? She's like, no. And then she just keels over and hits her head on the side of the boat. And someone goes, oh, my God, are you okay? And she goes, no, I died. I had to rewind that like, five times. That lady, she's like, no, don't help me. You okay?
Ellie
No.
Ben
They're like, Jason checked on her like, 10 times. Like, are you sure you don't have a concussion? I'm fine. I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay.
Daisy
So, yeah, that's the worst person to get hurt because she does not want people giving her all the attention and they just won't stop. It's like every person on the boat's
Ellie
like, oh, are you okay?
Daisy
She's like, I'm fine, but let me know, please let me know if you're feeling dizzy. I'm forget. Out of my room.
Ellie
Are you fine? You fine there? I'm fine.
Daisy
Get out of here.
Ben
Leave me alone. So now Batul and Alicia are setting up for Pride. And Alicia's like, I love pride. I love everything about it. I pride all the time. I could have my own spin and it'd be great. I'm in my element. I love pride. I'm like, could you have some enthusiasm? She's like,
Daisy
so it's a nice dinner setup. Rainbows everywhere, guys, because that's how KS roll. And then they're at dinner, and an echoey voice is like, featuring flamboyancy and straight on C wordiness. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you from. Straight from the Tommy Bahama showroom floor, Mark the butterfly. And Mark comes out like butterfly wings with lights all over them and, like, dances around. And he's got, like, a rainbow dildo stuffed toy that he puts on his bed.
Ellie
And they're, oh, my God, this is so good. I love it.
Ben
And so meanwhile, downstairs in the galley, there's, you know, chaos as Ben and Ellie are making dinner. And Ellie is like, daisy, Daisy, Daisy,
Ellie
should we play the first course?
Ben
Yes, you can play that. So Ellie goes to take food off the stove, but Ben's like, hold on one second. We have to wait for Daisy because it could get cold fast. Lumpy, lumpy, clavicle. So then the guests are still at dinner, like, getting it up and everything. So Daisy comes down to get the food and they start to plate it. And then Daisy's like, waiting because the food's not ready. And Daisy's like, why do I have to be here to watch them starve? They couldn't. They wouldn't serve until I'm like, I'm coming. It's so annoying.
Daisy
So they finish plating and she's like, ready for service.
Ellie
We're here. Are you sure, Daisy? Oh, for sake, Ben. Where it's mussels and clams. They get called super fast. We have to wait. I'm like, God damn it.
Daisy
Okay, well, we've been here.
Ellie
Yeah. Goods cold super fast. Well, then hurry the up then.
Ben
Daisy is in no mood. No mood for this. Ali is like, should I serve some
Ellie
plain rice as well? If they want fish.
Ben
For who, hun? For who?
Ellie
For the crew.
Ben
What's that, hun? Sugar pie. Sugar pie? Corn. Corn tits.
Ellie
What's that? Turmeric toes. What do you need? What do you need there? All these. Oh, it needs to stop. I can't take it. I couldn't hear you over there.
Ben
Molasses bum.
Ellie
Can't hear you.
Ben
Sorry. It's really noisy by this fan.
Ellie
Sorry. Rugala rexam. What did you say, hon? Come on, Boo boo.
Ben
What did you say? Stood up Sternum.
Ellie
Okay, okay, We. No, no rice for the fish. I hear you.
Daisy
So they're like, all right, we've got
Ellie
grilled mahi mahi coming up.
Daisy
And one of the guests is like, can I just have one ma? I don't want, like, mahi mahi. I just want mahi. Thanks.
Ben
They're all like,
Ellie
it's a gay table.
Daisy
Say things like that.
Ben
Gay pride means never being ashamed of your mahi mahi jokes.
Daisy
Amen, brother. So the guest finished dinner, and Jenna is saying, eddie, that she'll have Joao clean up the mess. And she's like. He's like, well, where is he?
Ellie
And she's like, probably eating ice cream.
Daisy
So we cut to Joao in the galley eating ice cream. Not like that. That's his thing. They just know that every night he's going to be in the galley eating ice cream.
Ben
It's like a big old industrial size tub of it. It's just like the size of a cauldron. And he's like, with his little spoon like, must get ready for zim Zim Cream Zim Cream Zim and Jerry's. New York. I enjoy my New York. Super fudge. Jim. Zim
Daisy
31 Zimlers. So Ellie's like, what is your favorite dessert? Cheesecake.
Ellie
What kind of cheesecake?
Daisy
Lemon meringue.
Ellie
Ah, I'll remember that. I will find my way to his heart through his lemon meringue stomach. Yes.
Daisy
So now, the next morning, Mike comes into the galley and he's like, hey,
Ellie
either you got anything for us?
Daisy
And he's like, what, you hungry bastard?
Ellie
Are you?
Daisy
I'm starving. Maybe like a little omelette or something.
Ellie
Oh, an omelette. Omelette off. I don't even do omelets for the guests, mate.
Daisy
I like some avocado. And Lisa's like, go, go, go. And she pulls him aside and she's
Ellie
like, just a word of advice. Don't ever do that again.
Ben
What do you do that?
Ellie
Do it?
Ben
I don't know, but whatever it is, don't do it. I don't know. Was it something with towers? I wasn't really paying attention. I just got mad all of a sudden. Don't ask for food in the morning. That's what it is, you know, four day charter.
Ellie
He's absolutely. It's just not a good idea. That's what I'm saying.
Ben
So now Mike is mad because someone told him not to do something. He's like. He's like, ben, Alicia just had a little chat with us and said, don't you ever do that again. And I said, do what again? And she said, have asked Ben for breakfast.
Ellie
No, no, no.
Ben
She meant do your hair like that. Please stop doing your hair like that. Driving everyone nuts.
Ellie
When you do your hair like that, it makes it hard for anyone to eat breakfast, I think is what she's trying to say.
Daisy
He's like, no, no.
Ellie
She was trying to tell me what to do, man. She was trying to tell me what to do.
Daisy
She's like, well, sorry, I wasn't trying to be.
Ellie
Just please don't ever do that again, all right? Don't ever tell us what to do, please.
Daisy
But I'm just saying it's disrespectful. So if you want to be in
Ellie
the galley, then go. And Ben's like, wait, wait, wait, wait. Did you just scare her off? She was helping me. Come on.
Ben
Mike's like, the first rule of yachting is don't tell me what to do. I. But I can tell you what not to do, which is you're not allowed to tell me what not to do. Don't you understand the logic of it all?
Daisy
Which is basically his baby. My God. And then he runs like, to tattletale on Alicia. And Ben's like. Like, no, actually, she's correct. You shouldn't come in here and order breakfast. Why are you yelling at her?
Ben
Yeah.
Daisy
Loser.
Ben
And then he tells Alicia, don't do that again. He literally says, don't do that again to Alicia. When. When he got mad at Alicia for saying to him, don't do that again. So then Alicia goes upstairs, so she does her tattling. So she's like, oh, she's stewing. She's like, Tuesdays in one galley. Don't mind me up, Mikey. And she goes up to Daisy, and she's like, can you tell me if I'm in the wrong about something?
Ellie
Oh, God, yeah.
Ben
All right, I'm just gonna say, yes, you're in the wrong. No, no, listen. Mike comes up and says, oh, Ben, do you mind making me an omelette? What?
Daisy
What?
Ellie
Yes.
Ben
Thank you. Okay, so nowadays, he's mad. No, I'm crazy. Next time, just come and tell me. People don't ever take that shit well from their peer. Oh, my God. Yeah. I feel like I'm everyone's mom, but with Alicia and Mike, it feels particularly toxic. I shouldn't have to be dealing with this for this. Tit for tat. No, it's my toy. Toy. It's my toy. I'm not. It's my omelet. I'm not going to give a. Just clean the boat. All you have to do is just clean the boat.
Ellie
Mike, what's going on here? He's like, well, honestly, I was kind of ridiculous. I mean, this morning. Have a bit about Ben. Oh, bad and fancy whipping us up some breakfast? You know, like, we're doing. We're thinking some omelets or something. Then Alicia pulls up and says, don't ever ask him to do that again. She yelled it like that. I mean, I was terrified. I was terrified of her. Terrified of her. In what tone?
Daisy
It's not the words. It's the tone is what you're saying.
Ellie
It was the tone. It was the exact tone. Terrifying tone. Terrifying tone to us, at least.
Ben
Yeah, I shouldn't have said that, too. In that tone. But I'm telling you right now, don't ask the chef for anything, because the chefs don't want to do anything for you unless you are very attracted to them and they want to have sex with you. What? Do you understand?
Daisy
It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappin's commercial.

Daisy
So Ben comes out and Eddie, Joao and Patul are in the mess.
Ellie
And he's like, guys, guys, could you keep it down? They're like, hahaha, we'll do whatever we want to Ben.
Daisy
So Daisy radios Ben decided breakfast and comes down with Alicia and she's like, jenna, if I was you, I'd stay
Ellie
out of the service area. She goes, yeah, I'd stay out of it as well. Jenna,
Ben
Jenna, you've been banned from the galley. That's unacceptable. You're allowed in here anytime you want. As for you, you're only allowed here up to five minutes before meal time. Daisy candy coccyx. Daisy's like, oh, oh, really? You have me camp in here until. If you could just say daisy service, I'll be here for 30 minutes.
Ellie
I love that you'd have me living in here if you could. I love Wanda. Daisy up. I. I approach it like a holiday sauce. I just wind it up, baby. I just wind it up until it's broken and people are complaining. I blame the, I blame the, the assistant. He's like, I can wind you up,
Daisy
don't y' all worry. Are we gonna fight now?
Ellie
Done.
Ben
You can treat me like a Honda's, but I'm gonna treat you like a Newman's own vinaigrette. Gonna shake the out of ya. Newman's Own.
Daisy
Love the specificity.
Ben
Very popular with my generation in Ireland. Newman zone.
Daisy
Norman's on. So Ben checks in on Ellie because she's clearly pissed.
Ellie
You know, it's like, okay, very quiet. Oh, we make a hollandaise. Oh great.
Daisy
Now we make hollanders so you can tell she's pissed.
Ellie
And he's like, what's going on my little trooper. You all right there, honey pie. Booby face. And she's like, I'm good. Okay, you are good, baby. You are good there, my little spumoni. Splankachronium. All right, you all good? It's like, okay. Dishes are done. All right, baby.
Daisy
My little darling monk. Fruit. Mandibular. Oh, you really got it now.
Ben
You're killing it, buttercup. Let's just keep on doing what you're doing. Apple fitter.
Daisy
So now we go to Mark talking to his sister Sophia out on the deck, and she's like, oh, my God, thank you for bringing me. And I never would have thought I'd be here, you know? I mean, we had such a hard life, and now look at us, you know? I'm so thankful to you and Clay. God, I'm really glad you took that job at Tommy Bahamas. Remember when you were gonna work at Gadzooks and I said, no, don't do it with Tommy Bahama. Now, look, you got a. You got a man that looks like the lady from Murder, She Wrote. Congratulations. That's why you need to always be nice to Clay. Take care of him.
Ellie
He's rich.
Ben
I was so worried when you brought Clay home once and said, please welcome my very dear friends. And I thought, oh, my God, it's Mike Huckabee. And then you said, his name is Clay. And I said, oh, thank God it's not my cockabee.
Ellie
Just take care of him. He's special.
Ben
So Patul, sort of like she tool sort of is nearby, and Mark's like, sorry, we were just having a moment. My sister didn't know I was gay. She's. She's really not very bright. I mean, you can really show up with butterfly wings only so many times before you give up hope on her. But I think this time it really.
Daisy
Did you just tell her this morning? Because I would hope that someone would have said something before last night. I mean, Jesus, you were wearing a dildo on your head, sir.
Ben
Tools like, oh, it's just touching my heart also. What did you say? I couldn't understand. It's like I've been hiding this from her for 16 years. 16 effective years of hiding my homosexuality. And she was like, I already knew. You're my little brother. You're also wearing butterfly wings right now. I love you no matter what. It was so wonderful.
Daisy
So Batul says that she was born in Istanbul, and in her country, gay marriage is not only illegal, it's a huge sin. And thankfully, yachting helped her get away from there. And when she started working in Europe and traveled, she saw how people are living happily and without strict rules. And she's like, do your thing. Be yourself. She's like, I feel happy to be educated about it now. So they hug.
Ben
It's nice. Nice little scene. You know what? But in the spirit of that lovely little scene, should we carry the positivity under the sea?
Daisy
Fish report. Fish report. Now it's time for a fish report. All right, well, this is included because this is those orange flower things under the water. I forget what they're called. What are they called?
Ben
I don't know. It looks like orange okra all piled together.
Daisy
It does. And there's like, a little fish. But I want you to watch the violence that happens here. It's like a little, pretty striped fish. It's all alone. It's left the school of fish. It's right in the middle of this field of poppies or whatever. And then look, slowly, it explodes. Come on, you can do it.
Ellie
Oh, boom.
Daisy
Oh, no. Explodes from the inside and turns into this other fish, this yellow fish. Wow. The special.
Ben
That was violent.
Daisy
Wow. Do we need that?
Ben
I would have liked to have stayed on this fish. It's so. It's in such a tranquil place. It's probably like, can someone take a photo of me? This will be great on Instagram. It's like, sorry, we got to go to a different shot now.
Daisy
Yeah, this fish, I think. Yeah. I was like, oh, my God, my school's leaving. But I didn't get my shot in front of this Insta wall. But no, you died. So now we get this other single fish. We've got a lot of fish just on their own today. This little yellow fit. Well, I guess there's other fish.
Ellie
There's.
Ben
It's got friends, but they're all going, it's the only one. This one is the only one that's, like, mugging for the camera. The rest are, like, not angled towards the camera. This one's like, get my entire body. This is my good angle. It's my good side.
Daisy
It's going for this carrot or whatever
Ben
I was about to say. It's like, oh, carrot. Don't mind if I do.
Daisy
Like, I need a hot dog.
Ben
Love a carrot.
Daisy
Going to the hot dog stand.
Ellie
I know we all.
Daisy
We all said that we're going to do my fitness pal together, but I see a hot dog stand.
Ellie
I'm going, I'm going for it or get back.
Ben
The diet starts tomorrow. And then they're like, oh, my God, Bernie, the fish always, always goes for the carrot. Doesn't even realize there's an entire churro up above us.
Daisy
Okay, now we go to these, like, tiger shark things or whatever they're called. But look at the smile on this one. Isn't this so cute?
Ben
It's so cute. It's like. Well, I heard that there's no puffer fish this week, so I figured I'd be the cute fish of the week, throwing my hat in the ring. So cute.
Daisy
This has the cutest. I don't think I've. I mean, I've seen cartoon sharks maybe that are cute, but even then I don't think they're very cute. This is like the cutest shark of. Its eyes are right next to its mouth, nose.
Ben
It is the sweetest shark. You know that in the shark version of what's Happening, it plays rerun, right? It's always chasing after the truck at the end of the opening credit rerun.
Daisy
Wait a minute. This is his nose. Or is. Are these his nostrils or his eyes?
Ben
Oh, you know what I just realized? It's totally its nostrils.
Daisy
Oh, but I like ugly fish. I changed my mind.
Ben
It's totally its nostrils, but it's still. I can't. I can't look at it as anything but eyes. It's so cute. Like nostril eyes. And by the way, can we, like, not overlook this gorgeous shark in the foreground with its spots? This is a beautiful shark. I don't think I've ever seen such a. A high fashion shark before.
Daisy
It's a Lisa shark. They're like. Are you wearing your leopard print again? Jesus Christ. It's. It's 2026.
Ellie
Leopard print is forever, baby.
Ben
I'm so mad that those are not its eyes. I'm sorry, I'm going back to the cute shark. I'm so mad that those are the nostrils, because if those were its eyes, it would be just the most adorable shark of all time. But now when you can.
Daisy
Now it's hideously ugly when you see that the eyes are up here, like, holy, that thing's ugly. And it's coming right for me.
Ben
It just got a schnoz.
Ellie
It's not.
Ben
It's actually still pretty cute. It's actually still cute. It's just not as cute. But it's kind of like saying, you know what? It looks like this when you do this with your hand. When you do, like this, the senior wences kind of thing. Go like this, you know, for people who aren't watching, who are just listening I did it. The senior Wentz's hand puppet thing.
Daisy
I think it looks like a minivan that has a killer clown. You know it's coming to kill you, but it has like a happy face on the front. And then it starts turning towards you
Ellie
and it's like, I'm gonna kill you.
Daisy
It's like, no, you're not cute anymore. Stay face the other way.
Ben
I still think it looks incredibly cute. Look at its mouth. It's cute little mouth. It's got a soft little mouth. Like, hi. Even when you see where the eyes are, it has such a gentle smile. It's just so pleasant. It's having a wonderful day.
Daisy
It looks kind of like a cow.
Ben
Is it on top of another fish?
Daisy
Yeah, there's another fish under.
Ben
Is.
Ellie
He gives.
Daisy
Is she giving birth? Yeah. There's other fish under this other one too. Look, you see the little gray fish under there? They're long, like a little Paris.
Ben
No, there are. Well, but here's what's. Okay, so here's what's crazy. I know that there's like these. They're various fish that just sort of hang out with sharks. And they're like. They're like. They're henchmen, you know, and then. But they like clean up like the parasites on their bodies or whatever. But it looks like there's a full on big fin under the cute shark. It almost looks like it has like a napkin under its mouth, right?
Daisy
Yeah. Like it went to the bathroom and it's got like toilet paper stuck on its foot.
Ben
No one will tell it except it's under its chin. That's so obvious. Yeah, there's like a full on big fish under this shark.
Daisy
That's like an eel. That's a full on eel. Look at that thing.
Ben
There is something happening. That shark is really invading someone else's personal space.
Daisy
And it's turning right with the shark so it looks like it's attached to it somehow. What the f is going on?
Ben
This shark is. This shark is at a constantly evolving situation here. Like, we're really keep on. We really have misassessed it so many times.
Daisy
This little shark. This little shark works at Tommy Bahama. And this old shark is like, oh my God, you taught me how to dress. I'm taking you with me. It's like non traditional relationship day on fish. Yeah. Okay, so next up is this long.
Ben
This. This one shows up every now and then.
Daisy
I feel like sometimes they're trying to tell us something because they themed the fish. And this one is long fish. We See a lot of really, really long fish, as you'll see. Is this a sardine? What is this?
Ben
It looks sort of like a sardine or maybe even an anchovy, like. And it looks unhappy to be on camera. It's like, I. I'm not wearing my makeup.
Daisy
Why the long face is my question.
Ben
Where's it going?
Daisy
It's like someone with all the money in the world, they come in in this beautiful silver dress, and they're just, like, miserable. Their hair is too tight. It's like, girl, you. You know, your husband's been cheating on you for 30 years. Why are you upset tonight? Just relax. You're rich.
Ben
She's embarrassed. She's like, I didn't know cameras would be here. I would have cleaned up this. This place. Because she's like, under the. There's like, a garbage background. It's like this messy, gray, green, unkempt.
Daisy
I need a vacation. Okay, so then we get some beautiful trees blowing in the wind. And then we get to some little fish, some little basics. This looks like a fish tank, right?
Ben
It's giving fish tank. I'm not gonna lie. They're small. It's generic. They're not like.
Daisy
Okay, here we go. Long. There's another long fish. This is. Has the face of a seahorse, but then the body of an eel.
Ben
Yeah. I love this fish. It's doing something interesting, you know? I love its snout.
Ellie
Yeah.
Ben
I think it's not as I've. I've seen this fish before. I just don't remember what it's. I wish. I wish I knew my fish more.
Daisy
I think it's like a seahorse that learned yoga, and so now its posture isn't up, and now it's just straight.
Ellie
Oh, my God.
Daisy
You're so glamorous. Finally, vodka came to the sea, but unfortunately, your face still looks exactly like your ass. So sorry.
Ben
I am concerned. It seems to be. It seems to be drawn to some sort of dark, ominous abyss, and it's gonna get eaten down there. Like, don't go in there. You did all this work on yourself. Like, don't go into the dark hole. Like, this is. This is a fish in a horror movie right now. Like, guys, I just want to see what's in there. Like, don't go in there. Don't go in there.
Daisy
They always kill the long fish first every time.
Ben
That is literally where a predator is hiding. What are you thinking? And also, don't think I don't notice that your butt looks just like your face. You literally have a Butt face.
Daisy
That's what I said. Your head is exactly like your ass.
Ben
Oh, I didn't hear you say that.
Daisy
Yeah, it's the twin face and the butt exactly the same. Okay. So then we come to a turtle doing some kind of yoga. Look at this back Ben the turtle's doing. It's like, oh, yes.
Ellie
Oh, yep.
Daisy
The world still sucks. Hate it up here. I'm going back under.
Ben
Bye, turtle. This is what you get for smoking. Like, it's like, I need some air. I'm running out of breath. I'm running out of breath. Like, honey, take better. Better care of yourself, honey. Yeah, it's like sitting there taking a breath from the. The top of the waves. And now we have.
Daisy
Now we get to Chef Fish. Chef Fish Pasty just refusing to do a dish. All the other fish have left because he keeps calling them honey and Boo Boo.
Ben
The ocean doesn't want this. The ocean. Like, if the ocean is not sweeping him out, the ocean's trying to put it back out on the beach.
Daisy
It literally is. It's pushing him back towards the shore. It's like, nope, nope. You call me honey. You called me honey one last time. Get out of me. Get out of it.
Ellie
Up.
Daisy
Okay, now we get another leopard print shark. This one now has a fish on top of its head. Look at that. The fish is riding his head and
Ben
it has its fins out. So it's like, guess what? Okay, guys, it's doing shark charades. Okay? You can use me one word. You can hang a shirt on me. Is it hanger? Yes, I was. I'm a hanger. I am a hanger. Yes. I did. I did hang her face. Yeah.
Daisy
Stop eating my eye boogers.
Ellie
Okay?
Daisy
We've been dating two days.
Ellie
Two days.
Daisy
Even the dating.
Ben
I love what it's doing with its fins. I mean, those fins are out and proud, you know?
Daisy
Yeah. It's gay day. So then we go to the bullied fish, the five head. The poor five head. I'm the only person here that no one will swim with. Even that big leopard shark has a little fish attached to its eye. Boogers. What do I have a five head?
Ben
But five head is also kind of like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, it's a shark. Oh, God, Please, please let it not see me. Oh, my God. Oh. Oh, my God. I shouldn't have been here. I shouldn't be here right now.
Daisy
Can't even get eaten by a shark. Whatever.
Ben
By the way, there's no urgency with those other fish. There's literally A giant ass shark that's looming. And they're all just swimming like it's just a normal day. And at Fishtown. And they're, like, not even concerned. I mean, maybe that says something about the shark, but, like, you guys should be concerned that there's a predator nearby, right?
Ellie
Right.
Daisy
No, they don't care. It's like me, like, if. If you know that I'm hungry in a grocery store, the groceries should be afraid. But if I'm not hungry, you're safe. Maybe they just can't tell.
Ben
Maybe.
Daisy
So then we go to some little basics. There's little tiny basics. And then we go to the churro. And another long fish. I love this long fish with the horn nose.
Ben
Yeah, this one's great. This one. This is like a cir. Fish. Like, all the other fish are gathered around. They're like, guys, it's so whimsical and beautiful. How can it even do that? And there's like, music playing that's like.
Ellie
Like,
Daisy
It's like balancing on its nose on top of a churro.
Ellie
Wow.
Ben
Does it do that? How does it do that?
Daisy
This is like the Michelangelo of fish paintings. It's just like touching its nose to the. The finger of the churro.
Ellie
God. It's like.
Ben
And then one other fish said, some fish in the audience has the other one. Well, you know, a lot of these fish were in the Olympics. They were gymnasts. And this is what they do when they're done.
Ellie
Done.
Ben
Oh, I didn't know that.
Daisy
It's not really that impressive. They've been learning it since they were two.
Ben
You could probably do it if you were learning since you're two, too. So, like, don't get like that excited.
Daisy
Okay. Then we go to this little fish who's so cute. It's just like standing on a twig singing. Look at him sing. He's like, pop.
Ben
Its eyes are very like a video game, right? Like, this is. I feel like when they make fish in video games, their eyes look like that. And it's very unsteady camera work. I'd also like to point out. Oh, look, Patul's dancing to the fish's song.
Daisy
Back that up, back that up. And then we go. We go to a pair of stingrays. Really cute couple. They are that annoying couple who dresses the same. And then they, like when you walk them, watch them speed walking. They're exactly in step. Look at this.
Ben
Yeah. And they're going to brunch, but they're not going to eat anything because they're Watching their figure.
Daisy
They're like, we're both in athleta. We're both walking the exact same way. We're the best couple in the neighborhood. Basically.
Ben
We'll split the croissant. Yeah. We're trying to get into shape. We're just trying to hold each other accountable.
Daisy
Then we go over here to polka
Ben
dot fish who also has a friend. Really a big day for polka dot.
Ellie
Thoughts?
Ben
Isn't that a friend there? That little bluish?
Daisy
Oh, you're right. No.
Ben
Yeah.
Daisy
Is it a fish or is it a finish?
Ben
A little fish. It's a little buddy. It's gossiping. It's like, by the way, did you hear about the Cirque du Soleil performance? Apparently the fish fell over. It was so embarrassing. And they were a gymnast since they were two and they still couldn't even do it. I'm like, honestly embarrassed.
Daisy
By the way, that five head fish couldn't even get eaten by a shark. What a loser.
Ben
Someone said that I should swim with the five head shark. I was like, excuse me, I have standards. I may be very small, but I do have standards.
Daisy
Did you see that other fish that had his face that was the same as his butt? Oh, my God. A prom's coming up. You are not going. I'm telling you that right now.
Ben
Did you see that? That shark added like fake eyeballs to its nose to make itself look cuter. It's like, we know. We know you're not cute. Like, stop painting on your abs and that's it.
Daisy
Fish report.
Ben
Commercials. Here comes one right now.
Ad Host
We all prefer things a certain way, like groceries. If you want groceries just how you like them, you gotta try Instacart. They have a new preference picker that lets you pick how ripe or unripe you want your bananas. Shoppers can see your preferences upfront, helping guide their choices. Because when it comes to groceries, the details matter. Instacart get groceries just how you like.
Ellie
With its two juicy beef patties, three slices of melted cheese, and tangy big art sauce sauce. The big arch is what happens when you start making a McDonald's burger and never stop. The Big Arch, the most McDonald's McDonald's burger yet for a limited time.
Ben
My fish of the week is still that cute shark. I still thought the shark was cute even after I where I saw where his eyeballs were.
Daisy
So that I like the little one on the twig singing. I thought that was pretty cute.
Ben
That was good too.
Daisy
Okay, so let's get to one of the guests tells Mike they don't have toilet paper in their room.
Ellie
Mike's like, let's.
Daisy
Why give me orders instead of focusing
Ellie
on what you're going to do?
Daisy
You're not my boss.
Ellie
If you want to do. If you want to do something done, you do it instead. Things would probably be sad. All right, get the toilet paper yourself. That.
Ben
So Mike goes to Daisy and Jenna and tells them about the toilet paper. And Daisy's like, guys, who did the cabins? From now on, when we're turning those carbons around, come and plays. Put a full roll in those carbons, and I want those under the sinks. Okay? Toilet paper. Understood. Sinks, panty liners, off of walls. Okay? It's as simple as that.
Daisy
So now we go to the galley,
Ellie
and Ben's like, oh, hello there, cheesy chicken. You want to do some cheese balls? Come on, let's do some cheese ball, chicka tits. She's like, oh, can. Should we sharpen this cheese knife. Knife at all? He's like, well, do you want me to. She goes, maybe. Okay, well, yeah, I'll sharpen the cheese knife. Fine. Okay, well, do you want to choose a board to do charcuterie? I. Okay, well, we'll see. All right. We'll just figure it out as it comes. Ah, well, that black one would help a lot. All right, I'm gonna change. You change into your blocks, right? And he's like, okay, whatever you want. Yes, we're going to change into our blocks because we are doing things properly. Okay, Boo boo. Yes. Let's keep the momentum going. And I'll be right back.
Ben
So she goes to change into her blacks. I love this for her. Honestly, I do like that she is. Is like, like sort of being proactive. I understand how it can be an overstep considering that she's the sue chef and he is the chef, but he's also a disorganized chef. And so I think this is like, I don't know. I'm okay with it. So now she comes back, okay, you
Ellie
want to go change? Cuz they want us looking cohesive.
Ben
And he's like, I got it, honey. Honey tits, sugar sneakers, bumble bumble caps. I just. I just need to get this done. All right, and I'll see you in five.
Ellie
I'm trying to choose my battles wisely, but she just has this sort of bravado about her. Like, she's my boss. Like, I just wanted to chill, you know? Like, why can't you just chill?
Daisy
So now Ben is changing in the cabin with Joao, and he's like, it's
Ellie
just a really weird residence in the kitchen, you know? I mean, it's just weird. It makes me nervous. I don't know what's going on in there.
Daisy
So now we go, and she's finishing up the charcuterie board.
Ben
It.
Daisy
What were you gonna say?
Ben
I was like, it's so weird in there the way she proposed that you use a black cutting board or how she said, oh, we should sharpen our Shakuri knives.
Daisy
It's weird. Her energy is weird because she's so sick of him and she's not really telling him what's up. So he's, like, trying to tiptoe around, but it's making him, like, say boo boo or something more. He's getting nervous that more boo boos are coming out, and she's getting more and more pissed. And he does doesn't understand what's going on.
Ben
It's you.
Daisy
It's your personality. It's making her crazy.
Ben
Well, he's about to find out because he's back, and she's finishing the charcuterie board. He goes, all right, let's speed that up, love, if we can.
Ellie
It's like, okay, five minutes and copy, copy.
Ben
Okay, we have no guests up, but I'll let you know when they appear.
Ellie
Okay. No guess.
Ben
Up he goes, all right, let's wrap it up and put it in the fridge, darling.
Ellie
Oh, yes, I will, please, Sugar lumps. Yes, yes, I will.
Daisy
Yeah, all right, all right.
Ellie
Okay. Zytol. Zygo. Oh, God. Okay.
Ben
Snappy sinuses. So she's like, okay, we got to
Ellie
take a breath into war. Salt. Vegetables for milk. It's getting a little too intense in here. We got to take a little breather.
Ben
I know, but dinner's in half an hour. Pokey retinas sill. We got a ton to do. All right, all right.
Ellie
Listen here, honey. We've got a ton to do. Well, I could have prioritized differently if I had known. Well, what, like, moved quicker? What do you mean? Sorry, babe, I've just been up the way you spoke to me. I cannot handle it. He's, like, spoke to you by doing what? The way you spoke to me right now. I'm not going to have that ever again, Ben. You hear me? Me?
Ben
How did I speak to you?
Ellie
No, I would never have it again face. Don't you. Don't you.
Daisy
Don't you.
Ellie
What? What kind of face?
Ben
Trickle face.
Ellie
Don't you trickle face me again. Never, ever, ever again. Hold on. Before I rant, I need to make Sure. I know exactly what I'm ranting about, trickle face. Okay, Got it. Don't you ever call me trickle face again. How did I speak to you? Tic tac titties. First of all, do not call me tic tac Tit it is. Okay? And don't call me honey, because my name is Elena. My name is Elena or Ellie. I'm not honey. I'm not bunny. I'm not anything. I'm not spomotious. Plant the chromanium, whatever that is. I don't even know what that is. Sounds great. Dewey.
Ben
Dentures.
Ellie
Oh, no. See those? Okay. Don't ever speak to me like that ever again.
Ben
Oh, but what did I do? How do I speak to you? Could you just tell me?
Ellie
No. You spoke to me in an awful manner. Awful. Wow.
Daisy
Oh.
Ellie
You need to get your head in the game. You need to get this organized. This is your job. You get us organized and we'll get this down. And what is this list? Let's go. Don't try me, Ben. Do not try me, then.
Ben
And he's just like, peel potatoes and great parmesan cheese, which I mentioned earlier. Say, didn't I say we need to grate this parmesan cheese? Didn't I say that? Really?
Ellie
Don't you try this parmesan cheese. Cheese pussy with me, motherfucker. No, I was saying you literally need to grate the parmesan cheese. Oh, don't even try it. You are like an emotional anchor around the galley. The galley team's neck, and you are dragging the galley team's neck, and you are drowning the galley team.
Ben
When you were telling me earlier, you know, hey, can you change into your chef jackets? Oh, thank you.
Ellie
Yes. Cause you did it, too. Because we need to get our shit together. We wear black. We are team, okay? And we cannot look like clowns. We do not sell vegetables looking clown. Do you want milk or not? Well, getting into my chef jacket is not going to improve the quality of the dinner, honey pie. Well, I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry. Sorry. Not sorry. Hm. How do you like that?
Ben
Well, I didn't realize that you were the chief chef. Uzi earlobes.
Ellie
Oh, well, we need to get our together. Okay. All right. Anna's ankles. Well, we need to get in a better mood, don't we, honey pie? Well, I need to be in better mood. Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me? I had bums drop on my head and he's like, can we try not to get in arguments before dinner? Service, please. You started it.
Ben
So Ben's like, okay, so you're a little bit more sensitive than we once thought. That's fine.
Ellie
No, I'm not sensitive. Don't turn this on me. You're disrespectful. I'm going to the captain, and I don't give a. Wait a minute. Saccharine scapula. Come back and say, I'm going to.
Daisy
So she's, like, storming upstairs, and Alicia's like, maybe you should go the other way since the guests are there.
Ellie
She's like, oh, shut up.
Daisy
She just passes her, and she goes up to the captain, who is just standing there with no energy, just blinking blankly, like staring at a wall.
Ellie
And she's like, captain, what just happened in the galley? It is unacceptable.
Ben
It's like, oh, hello there, velvet ventricles. Wasn't expecting to see you here.
Daisy
Sit on daddy's lap and tell me a story. Story, why don't you? Wow, that escalated. Wow, we're both in olive green today. Look at us. I just noticed.
Ben
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Daisy
That escalated quickly. I think that is just a lot of frustration built up that it didn't even take much because he wasn't acting that different. She's just at it.
Ben
He wasn't. He wasn't. But she. I think I can imagine she probably, like, she was frustrated by all the pet names. She probably still still felt disrespected, like, lingering disrespect, even after the conversation from him. And maybe she was, like, annoyed that she didn't say the thing that she was supposed to that she wanted to say. And I don't know, like, she clearly
Daisy
said earlier, like, when they had that conversation, she was like, well, you know, we had the conversation, and I still need to talk to him about the pet names, but baby steps. Like, I can. It's. That was already one.
Ellie
I don't want.
Daisy
You know, chefs are such babies. I don't want to add too much onto that. I don't to want to make him flip his lid. And then she flips her lid.
Ben
Oh, it was great.
Daisy
That's crazy. I thought I was going to be more 100% on her side because this baby, honey, has been making me crazy the whole season, but I think she just kind of flipped. I. I don't know. She chose, like, a weird time to just flip, I think.
Ben
Yeah. But I think it was still very fun to watch. Yeah. I think I'm still, like, on her side, but, Yeah, I thought it was going to be on the crux of Something I thought it'd be a reaction to something more dramatic. And I was just like, can you hurry up with a shuduit?
Ellie
Spoken to them.
Ben
It was like, that's where it happened. But also, like, how many times. That's like, we all want our big explosions to happen, like, in the most meaningful, best times. And they almost always come tumbling out off of some stupid random. And then you feel like an idiot because it's like, I just asked you to hurry up with shoot, babe.
Ellie
It's like, you want your goddamn mouth. I went through war.
Daisy
Yeah. It happens all the time on Housewives where someone is like, okay, that is it. I'm going to let them have it. And then it's the day that. That the housewife decides to be nice to you.
Ellie
Hello.
Daisy
Welcome to my home.
Ellie
Oh, really? Go yourself.
Daisy
Whoa. Where that.
Ben
You've hyped yourself up. The next time he disrespects me. And you're kind of, like, waiting for the big one. The big one. You're cashing your ticket and some stupid. And you're like, whatever, I'm doing it and I'm going in. Yeah.
Daisy
Yikes.
Ben
Fun times. Fun times. Well, thank.
Daisy
You know, we were just talking at the beginning of the episode about Margaret and Jersey, and, like, well, don't put them in a corner. Don't paint them into a corner and say, like, it's him or it's Theresa or me, you know? And I feel like that's kind of how the episode ended.
Ellie
Right?
Daisy
Because it's like, I will.
Ellie
This is. I'm at my wit's end.
Daisy
So what's gonna happen? Because he's not gonna fire Ben.
Ben
I think Jason's just gonna give them a stern talking to Black. Find a way. We're a team. Make it work. You have to understand, Ben, this is not her role. She's still learning. And, Ellie, you have to understand there's a hierarchy, and we can all work here together and get back to it. All right, I'm gonna look at my goldfish again.
Ellie

Air Date: March 24, 2026
Hosts: Ben Mandelker & Ronnie Karam
This episode picks up where the previous recap left off, continuing Ben and Ronnie’s irreverent and razor-sharp breakdown of "Below Deck Down Under" Season 4, Episode 8 (Part Two). The main thrust: crew drama over cleaning fails, kitchen power struggles, and a Pride-themed guest charter—all filtered through Ben and Ronnie’s trademark mockery, pop culture riffs, and extended "Fish Report" fish commentary.
If you missed Part One, it’s recommended for full context. But this episode stands on its own as a wild ride through Below Deck’s crew dysfunction, topped with extra Bravo-style banter and trademark Watch What Crappens humor. Whether reliving the panty liner debacle or the epic fish drag ball, Ben and Ronnie’s recap style makes the chaos irresistibly hilarious.
Best enjoyed on a day when you need to be reminded that workplace drama can always be defused by a Pride party, a fish with a five-head, and a refusal to ever, ever be called “honey pie” again.
