Episode Overview

This episode delivers part two of the hilarious and biting recap of Below Deck Down Under Season 4, Episode 13 (“Ben Pecked”). Ben and Ronnie deep-dive into the crew dynamics, galley meltdowns, guest absurdities, and, as always, offer their signature snark, improv, and Bravo fandom. It’s a riotous ride through last-minute guest requests, culinary disasters, Magic Mike wannabes, passive-aggressive cookies, and even a “fish report”—all with witty banter and playful shade.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Ben and Daisy’s Ongoing Tensions

• Kitchen Confusion & Miscommunication

  • Daisy keeps pushing Ben (the chef) to check in with guests about dinner, which Ben resists.
  • Last-minute guest demands for pasta (“literally 10 minutes before dinner!” [06:42]) stress Ben out and slow dinner service, causing palpable tension.
  • Daisy is frustrated with Ben’s refusal to proactively communicate.
  • Ben perceives Daisy’s “smirk” and requests as antagonistic.
  • Jamie: “Ben should have checked in with them before dinner like I told him to. Told you so.” [07:10]
  • Daisy, hilariously, is called “bouncy barnacle” and “barley sugar bladder” as they trade barbs.

• Cookies Saga

  • Guests make a passing comment about wanting cookies for breakfast; Daisy relays this to Ben, who snaps.
  • Ronnie observes Ben’s defensiveness: “Just put it on the guests. Why put it on yourself?” [21:24]
  • The whole argument takes longer than baking the cookies themselves.

• The Showdown and Apology

  • Over dinner, Daisy and Ben finally confront their issues.
  • Daisy: “You use people as a punching bag, and then when you get called out you use your charm to swim out of it. You did it with Ali. You did it with Alicia.” [48:12]
  • After tense bickering, Daisy offers a “hug apology” to defuse the situation.
  • Ben semi-apologizes: “I still don’t know why and won’t admit to anything wrong, but I’ll give her what she wants. Sorry, toots. Slap on the ass. Carry on.” [49:51]

---

2. Guest Demands & Yacht Crew Drama

• Dinner Chaos

  • Guests are initially offered wahoo (fish), but demand pasta at the very last minute.
  • Ben hustles to make the pasta, but the fish ends up “overcooked”—dubbed “prison fish” by the hosts. [08:40]
  • Ronnie quips: “Prisoners are like, what the hell? We get fish.” [08:46]

• Sphinx/Leopard Cake Confusion

  • There’s confusion over a “leopard-themed” cake for Joanna’s birthday which looks more like a sphinx (“It was supposed to be a leopard shaped cake.” [11:40])
  • Ronnie and Jamie riff on how to make an actual leopard-looking dessert, offering ideas from orange chocolate chip sponge to fondant and mirror glaze.

• Birthday Candles & Post-Pandemic Etiquette

  • Daisy blows out candles on the cake, and Ronnie laments, “Did we just all forget the pandemic?...I just...Why are we still doing this?” [17:19]
  • The hosts laugh about better sanitary traditions. Ronnie: “I take off the candle and I blow it out on the table. Who am I going to blow on the cake? It’s disgusting.” [18:01]

---

3. Magic Mike (Deck Crew) and Stripping for Guests

• Reluctant Entertainment

  • Daisy organizes a striptease “Magic Mike” performance with Eddie and Mike.
  • Ronnie’s reluctance: “I just don’t want to see my waiter… I don’t want my waiter’s nuts in my face.” [04:00]
  • Stripping is described as “like the cast of King of the Hill stripping.” [03:32]
  • Strippers perform “the worm.” No one is impressed, but everyone’s amused by the awkwardness.

• Mike’s Running ‘Head Of Department’ Bit

  • Mike claims to be “head of department (HOD)” as a joke, driving everyone nuts.
  • Jenna is especially annoyed: “He just goes with it—little brother energy—and it’s just too annoying.” [33:34]

---

4. Crew Dynamics & Relationship Arcs

• Joao & Daisy Flirtation Drama

  • Joao is newly single, debating whether to pursue Daisy.
  • Daisy is confused, expecting a move from Joao, but instead “he’s saying nothing. So very confusing.” [19:17]
  • Ellie is disgusted by their flirting: “Disgusting. Low life behavior. Pathetic, manipulative trash can.” [19:33]

• Ben and Daisy: Conflict, Catharsis, and Comedy

  • The “smirk” argument epitomizes their inability to communicate: “This is my face!” [23:18]
  • Daisy delivers one of the episode’s best lines: Jamie: “Her exasperation with him is just so pure. It feeds my soul.” [24:03]

• End of Charter Banter

  • The tip is shockingly large for a one-day charter: “$28,000 today. Isn’t that crazy?” [32:00]
  • Ben is late to the meeting, and Jason, the Captain, is notably annoyed: “He doesn’t respect anyone’s time.” [30:54]
  • Ben is awarded the “disco helmet” for being late/making the most mistakes.

---

5. Fish Report

• A beloved recurring segment where Ben and Ronnie review the episode’s underwater shots:
  • Standouts: The “fit model for fish” (giant purple fish), Daisy’s “fish dress,” a “gay stingray,” and the “sad goldfish.”
  • Fish of the Week: Jamie picks the meditating turtle (“first time we’ve seen one just sitting”). Ronnie loves the “purple school of fish” for their choreography and uniformity. [46:35-47:03]
  • Funniest moment: Comparing fish personalities and aesthetics to real-life party guests and Bravo celebrities.
  • Ronnie on choreography: “They’re all even. Their fins are moving at the exact same time. They’re not sloppy fish. And we’ve been doing this for weeks now, and we’ve seen a lot of sloppy ass fish.” [39:45]

---

Tone and Style

Ben and Ronnie’s recap is irreverent, shaded with loving mockery and insider Bravo references. Their quick banter and improv-style exchanges amplify the most absurd elements of the episode—from petty fights to animal close-ups—casting the crew’s dysfunction in both a comedic and oddly heartfelt light. They relish both the drama and humanity, always ending with affection for the characters, no matter how flawed.

---

For New Listeners

If you missed the episode, this recap delivers all the major storylines: kitchen meltdowns, guest-induced chaos, crew antics, and Bravo-style roasting. You’ll get a sense of the relationship dynamics, see what moments sparked the hosts’ biggest laughs, and catch highlights from both on-boat drama and ocean life. The “fish report” alone is worth the listen for its blend of improv and pure visual absurdity.

Notable Takeaway:
This episode is a testament to how Below Deck shines when real personality clashes meet the unexpected demands of ultra-rich guests—with Ben and Ronnie serving as the perfect comedic lifeboats.

[Daisy]

Watch what happens.

[Jamie]

Who cares what happens when there's so much that happens?

[Daisy]

Well, hello and welco.

[Ronnie]

Welcome to Watch what Crappens. This is part two of a two part recap. If you're like, hey, wait a minute, I didn't hear part one, guys, it's because we put out a lot of recaps. Go back and listen to part one. Okay, it's before this one. Bye. Enjoy the show.

[Jamie]

So then, and then we see another scene with Ben and Kate where he's

[Ben]

like, oh, they like.

[Jamie]

And get.

[Ben]

She goes, I don't know because I

[Jamie]

don't hover over them while they take their first bite.

[Ben]

But I'll keep you posted.

[Daisy]

Well, Daisy is clear, but she's too clear.

[Ronnie]

So now we see Daisy from the season being like, fire up the second course because they're gonna eat this really quick.

[Daisy]

I'm here to put the pressure on. It's my job.

[Ben]

A little bit of pressure is nice, but a lot of pressure is not nice. I feel like sometimes she's working against me.

[Jamie]

I'm like, no, she's trying to get your together. So. So anyway, he's. He's working on his cake and then guess me while. Dude, they go down the water slide and, and then they're having fun and Daisy goes back into the galley and she goes, by the way, if you wanted to go and speak to them, now is probably a good time.

[Ben]

He's like, I'm not going to speak with Them. I'm busy. I'm busy. Little playful pickle.

[Daisy]

What?

[Jamie]

Whatever.

[Ronnie]

My little playful pickle. Dip and dots.

[Daisy]

Diaphragm. There.

[Joao]

There you go.

[Ronnie]

Put one in the jar. It was worth it,

[Ben]

my naughty nipple.

[Jamie]

So Jenna is goes in the galley and offers some candles for the cake or whatever and. I don't know, whatever. So then the stews are decorating the table. Leopard themed. And Daisy tells Eddie that she wants him and Mike to do a dance for Joanna's birthdays. They're gonna get their magic mic on. Or unmagical.

[Ronnie]

Oh, God, please don't. Use some magic. And keep your clothes on. Just put some clothes on to Mike. Nobody needs Magic Mike. Starring Mike and Eddie.

[Jamie]

Definitely not. Definitely not.

[Ronnie]

God, it's like the cast of King of the Hill stripping.

[Jamie]

I also can't stand when the guest. When the. The crew has to perform for the guests. I like, are we. Are we at like Ozark's Club Med? Like, we don't need to do this right now.

[Daisy]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

And the stripping, I mean, look, I' not one of those people who's like, if these were women, we would never treat them like that. Cuz men are not women. Like, you know, I get that. I don't think it's the same, but I do think it's like, I don't.

[Daisy]

I don't.

[Ronnie]

I just don't want to see my waiter. I don't want my weight nuts in my face. I just don't. Especially if they're like. Or Eddie, like if you get me some. Who's that guy used to be on the show that was hot. I think he turned out to be a douche later. But he was on a couple. He's like the old school guy from way back when. Shelby, or what's his name? Shelby, the big tall blonde guy. He had a sister on the boat.

[Jamie]

Oh, Addie. I mean, not. Not Eddie.

[Ronnie]

No, that guy was hot. He had news out on the Internet.

[Jamie]

Yeah, Tori. His name was like not Tori or Corey. Kelly. Kelly.

[Ronnie]

Kelly. Kelly.

[Daisy]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Kelly.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. If it's Kelly. Okay, strip. But other Eddie and Mike. No, no, no.

[Jamie]

Your strippers.

[Ronnie]

Okay, don't give me some, like some back row D list strippers. Give me Andy.

[Jamie]

Yeah, please. So now Daisy's at the bar with the guests. She's like, how you guys doing? She's like. And this guy's like, I have a question for you for dinner. Is it Italian or it's not Italian? She's like, huh, I don't know. Hey, Ben, could you come to the main Salon and talk to the guests about dinner. He's like, okay, fine.

[Ben]

It's like, hello, everyone. Hello. My, my angry abdomens. What's going on this evening?

[Ronnie]

What do we got tonight for dinner?

[Daisy]

He's like, well, as a crispy duck spring roll. I was gonna do some wahoo.

[Ronnie]

And he goes, what is that? I'm like, excuse me, you're from the food metropolis of Phoenix, sir. You should know, your wife has already told us, get it together. And he's like, it's a fish. You're not excited about that, are you? And he goes, no, we like pasta. Well, for Christ's sake, could you order? Could you say that? Are you just coming on here dissing wahoo? What did wahoo do to you?

[Jamie]

I know, but, like, also, I don't know. Like, I would like to see their preference sheets. I would like to see how accurately they express what they want for this evening. Because I feel like this is a last minute change. So Joanna goes, ugh, we love it. We love pasta. And I married an Italian, so, you know, I love it. Lemon and anchovy and garlic. That's one of, you know, that's one of Chanel and I's favorites. We just love pasta.

[Ben]

Pasta.

[Jamie]

Like, yes, ma', am. We know what pasta is, and we understand its value. Like, you don't have to sell us on pasta.

[Ronnie]

Just because you married an Italian doesn't mean I have to feed you pasta. I mean, I married my palm. It doesn't mean I want to eat fingernails every night.

[Jamie]

Or do you?

[Ronnie]

I mean, I should. I would definitely have a lot of. A lot fewer weight complaints against myself if I just stuck to fingernails.

[Jamie]

One thing we did not really adequately mention is that this request for pasta instead of fish comes literally 10 minutes before dinner. Like, they're all sitting at the bar about to go to the table.

[Ben]

So Ben's like, oh, okay. The Valley. Does the guest come in with last minute pasta dish requests 10 minutes before dinner? But, you know, I'll just serve something

[Jamie]

up for those feisty little fingerproofs.

[Daisy]

Ben should have checked in with them

[Ronnie]

before dinner like I told him to. Told you so. And she smiles, and Ben's like, well, I don't think Daisy's.

[Daisy]

He's like, I don't think Daisy's right in any shape or form. Little barley sugar bladder,

[Jamie]

you bouncy barnacle, you. So. So they all sit at the table and they start serving and everything, and Ben is making this pasta really quickly, and people are getting impatient because obviously dinner is slowed down because he has to make pasta now. And they're like, where is dinner? Where's dinner? But guess what? Guess what saves the day once again. Crispy duck spring rolls. The unsung hero of Below Deck.

[Ronnie]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

Making unhappy guests happy in the blink of an eye.

[Ronnie]

And then. He loves that, but he's having trouble timing his fish because he's got to make pasta and he's stressing out. And so now they serve the sauteed wahoo. And they're like, this sucks.

[Daisy]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

So then back in the galley, Ben's

[Daisy]

like, oh, God, Ellie, we didn't set a timer for the pasta. She's like, oh, so it's good. It's like, well, it's like, nearly. Okay. God, this is going to us.

[Ronnie]

So someone, they're still talking about their fish, and one girl's like, this is overcooked.

[Daisy]

I hate it.

[Jamie]

It's like, really? I mean, it's the toughness, right?

[Ben]

That's. That's the thing.

[Jamie]

It's like, yeah, it's like prison fish. It's terrible. It's prison fish. Like, ma', am, you have not been to prison. I'm sure this is not like prison fish.

[Ronnie]

Prison fish. They should be so lucky. Prisoners are like, what the hell? We get fish.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

Did I not have that on my preference sheet? Why are you eating the mush?

[Jamie]

So tonight at the Riocas island, we'll be serving a sauteed wahoo along with a frise salad and a chocolate cake for dessert.

[Ronnie]

So hold on. Between. Between courses, I would like to introduce our three piece quartet. Three people playing, four instruments, four violins. All right, so it's a prison. It's a little low budget.

[Jamie]

Go ahead.

[Joao]

One moment.

[Jamie]

We have a lemon sorbet, Costa, just to clean the palate before we have a study in cabbage. Rosemary, soil, cabbage, three ways.

[Ronnie]

So one of the women is like, oh, my God, you guys are totally

[Daisy]

talking behind Ben's back.

[Ronnie]

And Joanna goes, no, I mean, if he asked, I would tell him, but he never asks. He never asks. Who wants to know What Joanna thinks? Is a slide appropriate on the side of a boat? I don't think so. But no one knows because I sure didn't ask Jo.

[Ben]

Okay, the problem is with Ben. He's freaking slow as molasses.

[Jamie]

Meanwhile, yeah, they're just sitting there. They're getting bored. Like, is Ben awake? What's going on? Where's our pasta? Where's our pasta? And downstairs, Eddie is in his tripper outfit and he's like, you know, and. And Jenna's laughing She's like, I love it. Well, he's like, I didn't want to end things at all with Jenna, and she did, but definitely there's still something there. So I do feel like I've got a chance. Yeah, you. You don't have a chance. You don't. Or please, I hope you don't have a chance.

[Ronnie]

Your chance is stronger with you shirtless and ripped. I will say that.

[Jamie]

But still way more ripped than I was expecting.

[Ronnie]

Me too. But it's still, you know, so just if. As long as you could put a bag over your personality, you know, so then the stew. Serve the pasta, and they're like, well,

[Daisy]

thank God this isn't overcooked.

[Ronnie]

Am I right?

[Jamie]

Yeah. And. And then after. After dinner, they. They actually really love the pasta. And then it's time to bring out this cake, which we didn't really mention. Well, the cake is shaped like a sphinx for no good reason. And so Batul sees it and goes. She goes, what is that sphinx? He's like, yeah.

[Daisy]

You see it?

[Jamie]

She's like, wow.

[Ben]

What?

[Jamie]

So good.

[Ben]

You think so?

[Jamie]

Yeah, but it's just transfixed by the sphinx, I think.

[Ronnie]

I thought she didn't like it. I think she was like, what the is. What are you doing? Because he's trying to, like, shape it to make. It's supposed to be a leopard, not a sphinx.

[Jamie]

Oh, I thought it was a sphinx too. Oh, it's a leopard. It was a. Supposed to be a leopard shaped cake.

[Ronnie]

Was it a leper? I don't know, but I'm saying it was supposed to be a leopard, but was he doing.

[Jamie]

Which is close to leopard?

[Ronnie]

I mean, I think. I think when you say leopard, you're into spots. Yeah, I think it has to be spots, but whatever. It's crazy. And he's got like. What was it as the tail? Like a big. A wheat. Was it wheat? What was it?

[Jamie]

Yeah, he was putting this, like, random, like, wheat frond or something. He was like, sticking in the back. That looks ridiculous. Honestly, if it were me, I would have first of all cleared it with the guests, but I would have done like a. I would have done like an orange chocolate chip cake. You know, something where it's like sort of like a orangey white sponge, but it has speckles of black chocolate chips inside of it. Right. Is that leopard?

[Ronnie]

I don't know. I think you have to, like, put that. I mean, he did put that candy coating on it. What's it called that Ben's fondant? Yeah. He did use some kind of fondant because we saw that nobody ate the fondant. So. Yeah, I would think you'd have to do some kind of fondant painting with it.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

Or, or if it's vanilla cake, just take dye and then.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

You know, dye the top or dye different icings and make it like that. I mean, I don't know. Get artistic.

[Jamie]

It would have been a good for a mirror glaze, gotten Dave in his mirror glaze mirror. He could have done like a, like something that sort of spoke of leopard, like, sort of like yellow and yellow and brown sort of on top kind of tie. DY is.

So now it's time for the strippers. So they go downstairs and they tell Joanna to sit like cabaret style on her chair. And she's like, well, I'm not wearing any underwear, so I don't know if

[Daisy]

you guys are over that you want

[Ronnie]

to talk about overcooked. And they're like, okay, just sit.

[Jamie]

Regular boys, you want to see my anchovy? Get in here.

[Ronnie]

So they do a strip tease for her. They can both do the worm or whatever that's called, which is pretty impressive. And then, I mean, I didn't get a boner. I mean, I don't really judge strippers. My wiener does. My wiener said no. But I was impressed that they could do a worm. Cuz like, honestly, it's hard to get out of bed.

[Jamie]

Even strippers love that move. That's like where you're standing and then they do that thing where they look like they're about to like jump down into a push up, but then they rise up again in a worm fashion. They're like, isn't that the sexiest thing you've ever seen?

[Ronnie]

Yeah, I mean, that would be broken elbows if that was me. But you know, it's cool to see somebody do that. And Joanna is like, you know, loving it. And so then Mike is now back in his natural habitat. He's like, this is all I needed now.

[Daisy]

I'm back. I'm back. Me, Mike, back in my natural habitat.

[Ronnie]

Your natural habitat is not stripping. Stop it.

[Jamie]

Your natural habitat is a cave under a bridge. He's a little troll.

[Ronnie]

So he's a cave and a bridge troll at the same time.

[Jamie]

He's double trolling. He's double troll. He's bi trollish. He's bi trollish. He's very troll heritage. Yes.

[Ronnie]

He's a big melting pot of troll culture. So the cake comes out now and she's like, is that a leopard? And Wes goes, yeah, from Egypt. She goes, wow, that's something. Magic Mike and friends.

[Daisy]

Thank you. Now, in case anybody's not grossed out

[Ronnie]

enough from the stripping, watch how I

[Daisy]

blow out these candles.

[Jamie]

They're like, oh, my God, Joanna. Jesus, Joanne, the weed thing is just like all soggy at the back of it now.

[Ronnie]

Did we just all forget the pand? I mean, are we just like. Well, that never happened. I just. Why Are we still doing. How did we have five years of being stuck in our homes and nobody thought of a better tradition than blowing out a candle on a edible thing? Why?

[Jamie]

Seriously? Well, also, it's just like, yes. You know, COVID 19 is not as scary as it once was, but we could take some lessons from it, like how we wash our hands or. And a greater awareness of how we spread germs and how we're getting our germs. So, like, you don't need to, like, you know, you don't need to spray a cake with your pasta mouth. Okay. You can.

[Ronnie]

You know what I do when it's my birthday? They bring me a cake. I take off the candle and I blow it out and I wow. On the table. Who am I going to blow on the cake? It's disgusting. I don't want people eating my chewed up anchovy pasta.

[Jamie]

Yeah, yeah. That's very considerate of you.

[Ronnie]

Thank you. I'm a good person. You would know it from listening to this show, but when it comes to birthday candles, that's where I really shine as a person. If I ever. If I ever. When I die and I'm at the gates of heaven and they're like, ronnie, you have said the meanest shit in your life. And I'll be like, but have you seen how I blow out a birthday candle?

[Daisy]

Thank you.

[Ronnie]

Deserve a mansion on the hill. Okay. Not next to Gabriel. He's really loud. Anywhere else would be great.

[Jamie]

The measure of a man is how well he blows out a birthday candle. So they love the cake. They're like, oh, vanilla wonderful. I love this vanilla cake. I mean, of course they love a vanilla cake. And Daisy's like, oh, made a new cake. You're welcome, Ben. You're what? Cuz they're all so impressed that he made a new cake, right? So now it's the new next morning, and Daisy and Joao are talking in the crew mess.

[Joao]

And he's like, I've been waiting to pursue Daisy because I didn't want to hurt Ellie more than I had already, but now that that is zim over, I can't help but being drawn towards her.

[Jamie]

So Daisy's like, I thought at this point, Joao would have come to me and said, I like you or whatever, but he is not making a move. He's like Ben dealing with guests. He's saying nothing. So very confusing.

[Ronnie]

So Ellie sees this because they're doing this in the crew mess. They're kind of flirting. And so Ellie sees it and she's

[Daisy]

like, it Is disgusting. Low life behavior. I know. It's all right. Just ignore it. Pathetic, manipulative trash can.

[Ben]

Okay, well, that's pretty good.

[Jamie]

And then Mike and Alicia are in the pantry and she's like, oh, Mark,

[Ben]

did you come up here to help me? He's like, well, I haven't been asked

[Jamie]

to, so I just thought I would.

[Ben]

Oh, thank you, Mike.

[Jamie]

Which is a surprising moment of camaraderie between the two of them. So then there's just more cooking. And the guests are eating their breakfast. They're very happy. And when they're eating it, when they're eating the breakfast, they make this weird joke. One of them says, like, yeah, this breakfast is great, but they give them

[Ronnie]

a side of peanut butter. No, they give them a side of peanut butter for their toast or something. And he goes, could you turn that into cookies? It's like, oh, well, I can talk

[Daisy]

about it to the chef.

[Ronnie]

So she runs down and she's like, hey. She's like, hey, Ben, sorry to mention this, but I think they really want homemade cookies. I don't know if that's something that's doable.

[Daisy]

Thank you. Peanut butter. Peanut butter cookies. Something cookies.

[Ronnie]

And she leaves. And Allie's like, remarkable.

[Daisy]

You say, let's take 30 minute break. Then one minute later, Daisy comes in and says, by the way, homemade cookies.

[Jamie]

Well, because they. Because they had literally just sat down for a break. So Ben's like, did the guest ask

[Ben]

for the cookies or is this your idea? Charter guests, although I love them, they're sort of the enemy because we're trying to please them and they're quite often trying to make our lives difficult. And it seems like Daisy is kind of joining in their fun.

[Jamie]

Like, Daisy is anticipating their needs in order to get a better tip. They literally said, make cookies.

[Ben]

I mean, they didn't say, can you make cookies?

[Jamie]

But he put it out there. And once a guest puts it out there, you know, a five star, five star yacht will make sure those cookies materialize.

[Ronnie]

But again, it's Daisy's communication. I don't even, like, really getting on Daisy, because I don't feel like she's doing anything wrong. It's just like when you're dealing with Ben, just go say, hey, Ben, they requested homemade cookies. Don't say, like, maybe it would be a good idea or. No, no, no, just put it on the guests. Why put it on yourself. Just say the guest requested that.

[Jamie]

Yeah, yeah, just saying. So Ben starts making the cookies, which, by the way, if you're a chef making a batch of cookies is not a terribly difficult thing to do, I'd like to add. So they probably spent more time arguing. Arguing about whether or not to make the cookies than just how long it would take to just make the cookies. So now Lisa and micro cleaning. And Lisa's like, thanks for your help this charter.

[Ben]

He's like, oh, it's been my pleasure. Yeah. Just after last chatter, squash wobble. It's just nice to know that we have each other's backs. He's like, yeah, well, I don't know if I'd go that far. Oh, I knew you were going to have some sort of rebuttal.

[Jamie]

I'm like, yeah, this is not gonna last, this whatever. Whatever ceasefire these two have going on.

[Ronnie]

So now back in the galley, Ben's

[Daisy]

like, all right, do they want the cookies after lunch or watch like, I haven't told them you're making them.

[Ronnie]

I've just heard comments about cookies, so

[Daisy]

I thought it was a good idea to make them. He goes, oh, yeah, bet you did. Yeah, that's what I thought. All right, nice job, Daisy. All right, shoe, Shoe.

[Ronnie]

And he gives her like, shoe hand, and shoes are off. And she's like, what the.

[Jamie]

And Daisy does not like that. And Ellie's like, when do.

[Daisy]

When do they want the cookies?

[Ben]

I don't know. They have a desk. Like, this is ridiculous. I mean, what is happening here?

[Jamie]

Am I right?

[Ben]

Love? I mean, honey buns, get it together.

[Ronnie]

Okay? So Ellie's laughing and the Daisy comes back in and she's like, I didn't

[Daisy]

say you have to make these cookies. I said if it was possible. It's a good suggestion to make the cookies. I made them great. And I'm telling the guests are gonna love it. Cuz I do things to help you,

[Ronnie]

so please don't shoot me like I'm a dog.

[Ben]

Well, you had a little smirk on your face.

[Jamie]

She's like, a smirk on my face. This is my face.

[Ben]

She's like, yeah, you did. You did, Daisy. And I think we've. We're done here. Thank you. I made the cookies. We should all be very proud.

[Ronnie]

You know the first person who accused me of having a smirk on my face? The doctor who delivered me you.

[Daisy]

Make me some cookies.

[Jamie]

I used to be in a band in high school called, called the Rolling Stones, and I was smirk Jagger. Okay, get on with it.

[Ronnie]

So now that I had the parody

[Jamie]

name, but the band was actually named exactly the same name as the real

[Ronnie]

Rolling Stones, she's like, you want to see the season with no more Suggestions? Absolutely. Fine. Figure it out yourself.

[Daisy]

Let's see how that goes.

[Jamie]

I love her. I just love her going off on Ben. It's just so great. I feel like no one else does it to him, and he's needed this. You know, Hannah and. I mean, Hannah and Kate did an excellent job sort of going at him. But Daisy is just like. Her exasperation with him is just so pure. I just. It feeds my soul. So then Daisy goes to Jenna. She's like, we just had a big fight. He can use me like a punching bag like he does everybody else, but fucking shoot me like I'm a fucking dog. I'm annoyed as well, because I feel like it's sending Ellie the wrong message, being like, it's okay. You don't respect me.

[Daisy]

Yeah, that's not cool. I don't want that. I don't want to cut up with that anymore. Shut up. This isn't about you.

[Ronnie]

So now we go to the galley,

[Daisy]

and Ben's like, she did have a smirk on her face. You saw it, right, Ellie? That's what annoyed me. I did not give a fuck. You saw that too, right? My little chocolate cerebrum? Tell me, tell me. So it's like. You are so right, Ben.

[Ronnie]

And this is what you need to work together as chefs or in a kitchen. This is what you need. You need to hate everybody on the floor together.

[Jamie]

Yeah, I like that. I like the visual demonstration of the together with your fingers.

[Ronnie]

Those are two, like, whisks together. It's like your two halves of the

[Jamie]

candle fingers because you just touched the canvas. So Jason is like, all right, everyone. All right, all right. Lifting anchor. We're coming in. Coming in for docking. And then meanwhile, everyone gets served filet mignon for lunch as well as fresh cookies. And Joanna goes, did you make cookies? No, you did not. I. I am very happy you made the cookies. Now tell me, are they my favorite? Cookie pasta, anchovy lemon cookies?

[Ronnie]

So where are the leopard spots? Where are the leopard spots on these cookies? And even the steak is good. This is a redeeming steak.

[Daisy]

God.

[Ronnie]

Because you really stank it up the rest of the time.

[Daisy]

Thank God.

[Ronnie]

Steak and cookies for Idiot finally redeemed himself. What a loser. I'm from Phoenix.

[Jamie]

Here we have some homemade chocolate chip cookies with an icing dip. So you're welcome to whoever had the great idea of making your passing comment into a reality, you're welcome.

[Ronnie]

And Joanna goes, oh, Ben, wow. He's really killing it in the final stretch here. He's bringing it in the end. Wow. It's like a person who came out and finally sang a song in the curtain call.

[Jamie]

It's like an 11 o' clock number, except it happens to be about 1:45pm

[Ronnie]

so Daisy's like. And then she goes to the pantry and she's telling Jenna, did you hear that? Oh, sorry for getting your brownie points to help you with your redemption.

[Jamie]

Yeah, seriously. And. But she's also eating them in the confessional. And she's like, these are actually pretty good. So then the we dock and Ben and Joao are in their cabin, and

[Ben]

Ben is like, me and Daisy aren't doing too well today. Apparently she's offended.

[Joao]

You're offending someone. I don't zim believe it.

[Ben]

He's like, it wasn't that. I mean, fucking hell. That smirk. Smirk on her face.

[Joao]

Well, why don't we just do an adult dinner tonight? You, me, and Daisy. We can settle it over dinner.

[Ben]

I don't know.

[Joao]

Why not? We could have a little hod head of department dinner.

[Ronnie]

It's a House of the Dragon dinner. We should do it together. Should Rain era be a lesbian? It's a departure from the book, but it's fun. Yes or no?

[Ben]

I don't know because I can't remember who's who on that show because they all have the same name. It's been five years it's been on television, so why are you asking me?

[Daisy]

They're all blond.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. We need to start. We need to start a rewatch of that. We're gonna have to start covering that in about a month. That's a lot of episodes.

[Jamie]

House of the dragon.

[Ronnie]

It's like June 10th or something. June 9th or 10th. It's coming back.

[Jamie]

June 21st. June 21st.

[Ben]

Okay.

[Ronnie]

We should do like, a trailer trash for that.

[Jamie]

Yes. Have they released a trailer?

[Ronnie]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

Oh, the new trailer came out yesterday.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, I saw a lot of blocks.

[Ben]

Let me guess.

[Jamie]

Okay. This is my impersonation of the trailer. Both things have been set into motion. You cannot do that. You must do it.

[Joao]

The sound of the kingdom relies on this moment.

[Jamie]

You rely on this moment.

[Ben]

I can't see you.

[Jamie]

It's too dark in here. Well, I told them to turn on the lights. There is no lights. Ooh, the sage. The wisdom has come, my son.

[Ronnie]

House of the Dragon. So then the guests turn in their comment cards because it's over. And they're hugging the crew goodbye and saying thank you and everything. And then we go to Joanne, Daisy, and dinner's on. Okay. Dinner is on.

[Daisy]

Ben's like, what are you doing having an HOD meeting without me? He's trying to persuade me to come

[Ronnie]

to dinner as an.

[Daisy]

As an. As a House of the Dragon.

[Ben]

Well, we're older.

[Daisy]

We're, you know, we're all hods. I'm into it. I'm into it.

[Ronnie]

So Mike comes by and Daisy's like, we're going to dinner as hods, but we're going to meet you after.

[Daisy]

And he's like, perfect, perfect.

[Ronnie]

So then Mike and Ben are in the master, and Mike's like, oh, you're

[Daisy]

having a headed department meal. Yeah, that sounds fun.

[Ben]

Well, Mike, you're a Dexter, right? Think about it. You're the head of the Dexter department.

[Jamie]

Mike's like, yeah, I am the only Dexter.

[Ben]

That means I'm the head of the Dexter department. You're right. So you're allowed to come to the dinner, mate. Daisy's gonna love it. You're an hod. And in fact, I will call you Daisy because in the spirit of House the Dragons, you will have a very similar name to someone else, but it'll be slightly different. Daisy.

[Ronnie]

Now, first, I have to say, this is so gross. He goes into the bedroom, Ben. And he's all sweating. Gross. After work. And then he lays down on the undressed bed and pillow and just goes to sleep. No, that's a guest bed. At least wait for the sheets to be cleaned. So gross.

[Jamie]

I agree. He's gross. So now it's time for tip meeting. Tip meeting, tip meeting. And Jason's looking at all the comment cards, which are really. They complain mainly about the food. So they are. They're all there and. But Ben is not there because he's still in his. In. In the. In the primary suite. He was napping and now he's getting ready and they're all there waiting for him. And Daisy's like, Bon being late to the tip meeting as a classic example of what is going down in the galley. He doesn't respect anyone's time. And honestly, I'm so done with this. He does not belong on that throne. It's mine.

[Daisy]

It is my sons. They think I can't take the throne

[Ronnie]

just because I'm a woman. Well, you've got another cookie cooking. So Daisy comes in. Yeah, sorry, go ahead.

[Jamie]

Yeah. All right, everyone, it's time for the tip meeting. It was a really. There was a good, nice charter. And Daisy's like, oh, just real quickly, Ben's not here. I don't think that we should start without him. And I just wanted to make sure everyone saw that Ben is not here. Okay, continue.

[Ronnie]

So meanwhile, Ben's taking his sweet time, and he finally comes up, and Jason's like, oh, wow. Everyone, round of applause for Ben. Ben, I called it on the radio. I want everyone here. I need you to set a standard for everyone else as well. That does not apply to the hair. I do not want to see spiky hair on anyone else in here. All right,

[Jamie]

so Ben finally sits down. Yeah. As you said. And he's like, so across the board, the reviews say it all. There's still a lot to do with food going through these there and that. You know, they like the fish dish, the food need more seasoning. What could be improved? The food, the food, the food. Same thing that's coming in over and over again. And there's only one way to get it fixed and that's to talk about it. So talk about food. What do you guys like to eat? Do you guys like potatoes? Who here likes potatoes now? Okay, who likes fish sticks? Fish sticks?

[Daisy]

No.

[Jamie]

All right, we're just gonna talk it out, guys. Communication, meal planning.

[Ronnie]

The best part of it, Magic Mike. All right, literally no one in history has ever said that about mic stripping, but there we go. Also, we got 28, 000 today. Isn't that. That is crazy that they tip.

[Jamie]

I was shocked, like a one day charter that they got such a big tip. And of course, Mike takes all the credit.

[Ben]

He goes, personally, this.

[Jamie]

This big tip that we got was because of me. I'm gonna have to use all my charter chips to stock up on the history. It was not because of you. It's because you got. They got a leopard cake, they got fresh cookies, and they had. There was a redemption steak.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So Jason is like, well, the helmet's gonna go to Ben. Ben, I had to start the cheap meeting without you. Enjoy the helmet.

[Daisy]

He's like, well, I'm slightly embarrassed. Okay. But I don't think I'll be wearing this tonight, But I will carry it with me. So thank you.

[Jamie]

So Daisy's like, all right, team, we need to have a chat. Okay. And so Mike is like, daisy, I do need to have a chat with you about something. So the head of department's Mike is Hod. So should I. Should I do it? They're like, she's like, no, no, no, no. You're not head of department. He's like, I'm the only one in my department. It doesn't matter.

[Ronnie]

You're not head of department.

[Jamie]

You're not like, you're not viable for the throne. You're not an hod.

[Ronnie]

So he goes away with Jenny. He's like, I think people are worried

[Daisy]

about the power I could potentially have. I can't hear this anymore because it

[Ronnie]

starts as like a little joke, but then he starts believing it or something.

[Jamie]

I think it's like he weirdly does believe it.

[Ronnie]

It's like, that's actually a really good idea. I'm actually the head of my department. And he doesn't let it go and makes it real. He's a weird little man.

[Jamie]

He also just like knows it's gonna annoy everyone, so he just goes with it. He's just like a little twerp. Like this is. He's got such little brother energy and it's like, it's just too annoying to do that. And you, you're just, you're, you're on it. Yeah. You're at work like that. You don't do that energy at work. You know, maybe amongst your friends or your family or something, but like not at work. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

So then Ben's like, oh God, look

[Daisy]

at these comic cards. Is pathetic. What?

[Ronnie]

What?

[Daisy]

How can I have the disco helmet anyway? They're not supposed to give heads of department the disco helmet.

[Ronnie]

Come on.

[Jamie]

Yeah, well, they did commercials. Here comes one right now.

[Jamie]

So they're preparing for dinner and everything. And Daisy is wearing a fish dress, which is very amusing. And, you know, maybe that's a good time since there's a fish dress, to do a fish report.

[Ronnie]

Oh, my God. It's a fish report. Okay. This, we start with a gigantic fish that is colored like the rock. It's purple, it's beautiful fish, and it's surrounded by all these little teeny, tiny fish.

[Jamie]

It's like the honcho.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. First I didn't even see the big fish. I just saw the little fish and I was like, why are they bothering me with these basic ass fish? And then you see this gigantic hell of a fish behind it.

[Jamie]

It's like a perfect fish. It's like, it's like when you draw a fish, like that's the fish you draw, you know, it's like exactly the most prototypical fish. It's like a fit model for fish.

[Daisy]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

And this fish is exhausted. Like, look at its fin. It looks like a big rock and it's not moving at all.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

And it's like combed forward. It's like, I'm just. Am I still alive? Yeah.

[Jamie]

It's from 1973.

[Ronnie]

And he needs to wax that thing because look at these little goldfish hanging off of it.

[Jamie]

Yeah. It's constantly pestered by fans. Just want some privacy.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So then we go to this fish and Daisy's boobs, I don't know why they're the same thing, but Daisy's boobs are here and the fish is here. This fish has beautiful oyster shell patterns. I mean, I don't know what you. What you would call this. They look. It looks like jewelry. It's beautiful.

[Jamie]

Yeah. It's like they look like sequins that are laid flat and. Yeah. And also like a nice, nice bit of eyeshadow. Like some yellow eyeshadow going on, which is a nice touch. This. She definitely is. If you see her at a party, she'll take like one little nibble of something and she goes, I actually ate beforehand.

[Ronnie]

So they're like, oh, my God, we know, but you've been dieting for 10 years and just wearing red leggings is not tricking anybody. Because she's like, Trying to wear, like, a big shirt and then little leggings. She's got this, like, red stripe down her belly.

[Jamie]

She's like, I just. You know, I just. I'm not someone who gets hungry very often. It's just I'm naturally kind of skinny, so it's just how it is.

[Ronnie]

You're not fooling us, Mayor.

[Joao]

It's my body type.

[Ronnie]

So then we go to this little

[Jamie]

generic fish little town.

[Ronnie]

It's like a little town of fish little town. Yeah.

[Jamie]

Huh? This is a nice. They're nicely colored. They're very loud. I like the emphasis on purple.

[Ronnie]

It wasn't a huge fish week, I'm going to tell you. There were a lot of little basic fish. You know, there's only, like, one or two.

[Jamie]

I think there was, like, one turtle that, like, caught my eye. But. But last week was a real humdinger.

[Ronnie]

But here's what I want. This one's. But here's. I. I had it on still, so let me show you. I think why this stood out to me, because now I see it now that it's playing. I love the fish choreography in this. If you really look at it, it's beautiful. You've got these fish coming up from the left, and then they cross these fish, and then boom. It's like this big cascade of fish. It's actually decent choreography. These fish are together. They're not like. Like, look at them. Look how uniform they are. They're all even. Their fins are moving at the exact same time. They're not sloppy fish. And we've been doing this for weeks now, and we've seen a lot of sloppy ass fish. We're like, I'm going here. I'm going there. It's like, school doesn't work. It's like America right now. Everyone's like, what. What is going on with schools? Why don't they work? And this is a school that works.

[Jamie]

It's a Montessori school of fish. Yes. It makes me almost. I'm always so impressed that the. The fish don't get confused and wind up. Up, like, trailing off into another school. And then we'll be like, wait a second. I'm with all the sardines. This isn't my class.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, but let me tell you, this class is, like, on a. On a vacation somewhere. And they're all, like, the perfect school. Even their uniforms are all perfectly done, perfectly pressed.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

Look at the other schools that are also there. You see them behind them. They're chaotic. They're like, do you Even have teachers. It's like, what's the point of going to school if you're just homeschooled? You know what I mean?

[Jamie]

They're just trying to form their school. They're like, do you want to be in school together? You want to be in school? But the purple clue, like the purple crew is like, we're set that we're honoring Prince on the 10 year anniversary of his death, which was this past weekend.

[Ronnie]

Oh, I think he hated gay people. Okay, so then we see this fish, this little chicken nugget fish. This was the Lisa Rinna fish, I think.

[Daisy]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

This was the Lisa Rena fish who, if you're looking at it straight, it's very cute. But if you look at it from the profile, it's just an ugly fish.

[Jamie]

You see that, you see all the issues. This. I also do like that this fish seems to be talking to us because there's a. There's a caption that says, see you in a little bit. But it looks like the fish is saying it like, ah, see in a little bit because it's also giving us like an eye. It's like, it's already like moving away from us, but it's eyes looking back like, okay, well, see in a bit, like, we already bored this fish. I'm like, you're the ugly one.

[Ronnie]

I think it's just trying to avoid Mike getting naked again. Because Mike is up on the screen getting naked.

[Jamie]

Yeah. I think this is a puffer fish from the side. Because. Because normally the puffer fishes are adorable, but you're right, profile is not their strong feature.

[Ronnie]

Then this. I get it. Because I'm like that. Like, I'm cuter this way. Like straight on. That's why I like the videos this way. You were like, why don't we do the videos maybe facing a little to the side? Because this is what I look like to the side. This is how I look cute. This is how great.

[Jamie]

From the side.

[Ronnie]

No, I look like this puffer fish. I look like.

[Jamie]

By the way, I didn't want to do the videos. I did not want to do the videos in profile. If anyone who doesn't want to do profile, because I've got this chin that sticks out like a. Oh, stop it. Helipad. But. But you know, three quarter. Three quarter. You know, three quarters.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, it's not. I knew straight on. So like this puffer fish. Okay, so then we go to. Okay, this. We have seen a lot of stingrays. Tons of them.

[Jamie]

A lot.

[Ronnie]

The reason I like this One is because it's like our first gay stingray. Look at it. It's like.

[Daisy]

Yes.

[Ronnie]

Flapping. It's like wearing a cape and just flapping it all over the place.

[Jamie]

Yeah, I really like that too. I noticed that as well. Like, as opposed to standard. Oh, I'm a stingray just floating along. Hi, I'm Teddy. This one is actually doing some sort of like flamenco dancing.

[Ronnie]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

And like moving the. The hem of its. Of its dress around a bit.

[Ronnie]

You know, it like doesn't like this rock. And so it's like flapping its dress over the rock. It's like, haha. Sorry, did that hit you as I passed? Didn't see you there.

[Jamie]

Rock. It has like a little bit of a reveal, an accent color. It's like, yes, I may look gray, but look under here. It's white. Yes. It's great. I love it. Peekaboo moment.

[Ronnie]

Now Mike is in his underwear. Why do we need this during fish report? Like, get the.

[Jamie]

Yeah, yeah, let's crop them out. Can we crop them out? Is there any way to crop them out?

[Ben]

No.

[Jamie]

Look at this goldfish, though. This goldfish is almost like in a music video from 1992. Like, I feel like they Might Be Giants should be playing.

[Ronnie]

But it has said it has such a sad look because it's facing Mike. It's like, why? Why are you subjecting me to this?

[Jamie]

Well, it's a bit out of proportion, this goldfish, and I think it knows it. It's like my eye is so big. I know.

[Ronnie]

It's like people tell me I should be a model, but nobody wants to date me.

[Jamie]

It just has like a strange kind of shape. This whole fish, like, it's. Its mouth is up a little bit too high. Its body is like. I don't know, like, its fins are very distinct. It just, it's doing weird things. This fish, this fish, and it knows it.

[Ronnie]

I don't like making fun of it because look how sad it looks.

[Jamie]

Yeah, it looks.

[Daisy]

Hey, you with the sad eyes. I better be discouraged.

[Jamie]

I bet it books a lot of commercials in fish television. Like, it's like definitely a character actor.

[Ronnie]

And it's for like saline solution or like.

[Jamie]

It's the one. It's like the fish that says, time to make the donuts.

[Ronnie]

You know, Time to make the donuts. Okay, here's a fish that is not forced to look at Mike taking off his clothes. And that is this fabulously printed stingray.

[Daisy]

Wow.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

Now this is a leopard cake.

[Jamie]

Yeah, this is a. And what's great is it's. It's swimming over, like, the. The seabed. But the seabed sort of looks like a bunch of trees. So it looks like the stingray is just flying over our heads. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

I just can't stress enough how beautiful the coat is on this thing. It's.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

Circles. And it's not just splotches. It's, like, drawn circles with a hole in the middle and then lines as well.

[Jamie]

It's like Louis Vuitton.

[Ronnie]

It really is. It is like a Louis Vuitton pattern. Oh, my God.

[Jamie]

Why is this. Why has this pattern not become a thing in fashion? You know, I guess that's because, like, with, like, leopard, you could. In the olden days, you'd kill a leopard and take its hide and turn it into something. But, like, I think this is a great pattern for a fabric. I'm gonna be like, yeah, let's make stingray a thing.

[Ronnie]

This is good luggage. So then we go to this little guy, mostly. We've seen. We've seen this shark thing many times. Shark, eel thing. I forget. Someone told us what they were called. I forgot. But we get a special shot of it where it's, like, going slow, and it's like, zoom. It's right in your face, like.

[Jamie]

Yeah, it's kind of like, watch out, everyone. It's like, has anyone seen my wife? Has anyone seen my wife? It's like, all right, look to your left. To your left. She's leaving you.

[Ronnie]

She's running. She's still running from you. Okay, so then we get him again, and then look at this turtle. This turtle is hilarious. It's literally sitting on its butt with its elbows on the table, just staring at us like, how many shots do you guys want? You're paying me a day rate, and you want me to stay here for what, 19 days? You're getting.

[Daisy]

That's it.

[Ronnie]

I want a cigarette.

[Jamie]

This turtle. This was the turtle that stuck out, stood out to me. This turtle is, like, meditating on the. On a. On some coral. I feel like we've never seen the sea turtles actually sitting down. They're always floating around, doing something weird, eating, like, a piece of plastic, like, sticking their head up above water. This is the first time we've seen one be like, you know what? I just want a break. I've had a long day. I got a coffee. I'd like to hide behind crystal, please.

[Ronnie]

Hey, guys, I'm hiding behind a rock. You're still following me with the camera. Get this mic off me.

[Jamie]

Seriously, I. It looks Almost like it found a giant rice cake. It's like, guess what, guys, I'm gonna snack. Well, today.

[Ronnie]

Get this. These things taste like. But, hey, listen, I ain't getting any thinner. Yours don't help. And that was a fish fish report. Now we're done with the fish report.

[Jamie]

Po was not a strong week. Not a strong week. I give it to the turtle. Fish of the week goes to the turtle for me.

[Ronnie]

Okay. I'm going to stick with the. The purple school of fish. I thought their choreography was good. I love their outfits, and I love seeing teamwork.

[Jamie]

Okay, that's a surprise choice that those tiny purple fish. But I will support you.

[Ronnie]

You know, so there are no small parts, only small fish.

[Jamie]

Ensemble needs to be recognized sometimes.

[Ronnie]

Yes. So now Mike walks upstairs with Jenna,

[Daisy]

and he's like, oh, people are thinking of my power.

[Ronnie]

She's like, shut up. So then Joel asked Daisy what she's wearing for dinner. And then Jenna, everyone's getting ready to go out on the town.

[Daisy]

It's gonna be fun, you guys. Wow.

[Ronnie]

So now, Daisy, Joel, and Ben go

[Daisy]

to dinner, and they toast, and Ben's like, todaysy.

[Ronnie]

Wow.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Daisy]

I did it. Look at me being nice, charming Ben. Today, the everybody. Hey, Daisy, would you like to.

[Ronnie]

To tell someone here at this restaurant

[Daisy]

they should make some cookies maybe? If they'd like to.

[Ronnie]

Sure.

[Daisy]

They'd love it.

[Ben]

Well, and let's. And cheers to getting this far. To finishing the battle with pride.

[Jamie]

Is there pride? Am I getting an apology? Can pride be made into a cookie? It's like.

[Ben]

I don't know what it is, but you're going to have to go over that one. What. What's the issue? Why do I need an apology to you?

[Jamie]

Oh, off. Ben, don't do this. Just rip the band aid and just say, I'm sorry I was a dick.

[Ben]

It's so difficult.

[Jamie]

Why? Because of your pride?

[Daisy]

No, because I don't remember what happened. I mean, I was swatting a fly. Daisy, come on. Is that what I did?

[Ronnie]

Just.

[Daisy]

Yeah, it was rude. I was swatting a fly. I was the fly. I was the fly. You use people as a punching bag, and then when you get called out

[Ronnie]

for it, you use your charm to

[Daisy]

swim out of it.

[Ronnie]

You did it with Ali.

[Daisy]

You did it with Alicia. You smile and you say, I don't remember. Come on.

[Ronnie]

You make every other excuse.

[Daisy]

Come on, Ben.

[Ben]

Well, you've got to understand my little

[Jamie]

jello jiggle jamboree.

[Ben]

That's when the. You know, when you said, well, they didn't actually Ask for cookies. And you were kind of smirking, and so was Jenna and Elena. She saw you smiling.

[Jamie]

I was like, oh, I bet she did. Why don't we dive into that? This whole getting Ellie to back you up, I felt like you were empowering her to almost undermine me. And when you shoo me out of your galley in front of her, she also smirks. So guess what? The one who had the smirk on her face was Ellie, not me.

[Daisy]

Well, listen here, you little donut dura mata. The thing is. Okay, look, how about this? How about I just apologize?

[Ronnie]

She's like, thank you. That would be great.

[Daisy]

All right, now I apologize. And this is a hug apology. You want a hug? Come on, let's. Let's have a hug.

[Ronnie]

So they hug, and he's like, I love you.

[Daisy]

I didn't mean it. All right, now go away soon. God damn it. You're doing it again.

[Jamie]

I like. I like how Daisy says, you always get into trouble and you always get out of it by just using your charm every single time.

[Ben]

All right, well, I apologize that I'll hug you, and I'm gonna smile and wink at you.

[Jamie]

Oh, okay. Always forgive.

[Daisy]

Despite everything, I get Daisy, and she gets me, and it would be a shame to lose that. And between you and I, if Daisy feels like our apology, then I probably owe her an apology. I still don't know why and won't admit to anything wrong, but I'll give her what she wants. Sorry, toots. Slap on the ass. Carry on.

[Jamie]

So now everyone else, the non hods, are having dinner on the boat, and they're just sort of, like, talking. And. And Eddie is just saying, like, I think everybody needs to step up a bit and follow along with Mikey's standards. And Mike is like, yeah, there needs

[Ben]

to be more decks to head a department meetings.

[Jamie]

And Ellie's like, oh, you're the HOD. Your HOD of only department. You're in. That's what it is. So Jenna is, like, rolling her eyes because she hates. She hates that Mike is doing this whole thing. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

And that. He's like, it's sarcasm.

[Daisy]

Difference between good sarcasm and bad sarcasm. The good sarcasm is when I tell you we have a chance. The bad sarcasm was that Nettie's like,

[Ronnie]

but that's called British humor. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. You don't get to pull in. You don't get to pull in British humor on this one. And listen, I'm a huge defender of that phrase on bravo. You don't get it, Eddie.

[Jamie]

Yeah. So back at the hod dinner, Daisy's like, all right, let's get to the fun stuff. Odia fancy.

[Joao]

Oh, well, he fancies Jenna. Full stop.

[Jamie]

Wow. 100. The two of you giggle like a bunch of school girls.

[Ben]

Well, now, I obviously fancy Jenna. I think she's smart. I think she's cool. And every now and then, when I can understand what she's saying, she has interesting things to say.

[Ronnie]

Well, I think you guys suit each other more than anyone else on the sim. And Daisy's like, I'm jealous.

[Daisy]

You have a vibe. What about you kids? A such a bright future between you two, don't it?

[Jamie]

Up back on the boat, Mike is

[Ben]

like, so, everyone, should we play a game? What was the most enjoyable thing about the charter?

[Jamie]

And Eddie was like, no beach setup. And Jenna goes, okay, what was your hiding your l?

[Ben]

He's like, well, mine was becoming the head of department.

[Jamie]

And she's like. And he pulls out. He, like, makes like he's taking the pizza box, and he turns it over and he makes it like a little placard that says, like, had a department. So she's like, getting so annoyed by this.

[Daisy]

Well, it means a lot because I was the only person. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

In the department.

[Daisy]

And if you think about the stew side of things, like, I asked Jenna to come down to a job with the deck.

[Ronnie]

And she could do it.

[Daisy]

She couldn't do it. So you need someone like me. And Jenna's like, you think I can't move around fenders? He's winding me up. Is this a big yeah today? And as it's deliberately told him to stop doing just that. Winding a rock.

[Ben]

Take that smirk off. I swallow, explode. Like, I slap that smack off your face. And really, like, it pisses me off.

[Ronnie]

So back at the other dinner, Daisy and Joao are smoking outside, talking about Ben. And she's like, that is one strange man.

[Joao]

Tell me about it.

[Jamie]

The way he came into that meeting late. Felt like we're all a bit like, what the Ben?

[Joao]

Well, the first time I've seen Jason go, I don't give a fuck. And I know the thing with Jason is, if you want to lose it, he can.

[Jamie]

So then Ben is like, what are

[Ben]

you guys talking about?

[Jamie]

Like, Jason.

[Joao]

Like, for the first time in my life, I've seen Jason go, I don't give a fuck if he's not here. And that was for you. That should mean something for you, Ben.

[Daisy]

What's your problem, man? My gallon.

[Ronnie]

Don't get defensive now, Zim.

[Daisy]

Yeah, don't you need to keep your

[Ronnie]

Radio on you is what you need to do.

[Daisy]

He's like, I was trying to have a nap. Good God.

[Joao]

The only person you're disrespecting is Jason and Zimbabwe. And that's it.

[Daisy]

No disrespecting the whole time.

[Ben]

Oh, for sake. Just everyone have a go at Ben, would you? Has anyone got anything interesting to say? Are we just going to at each other? I'm walking away.

[Daisy]

You pick up the tab, send me the bill.

[Ronnie]

I'm kind of team Ben on this one.

[Jamie]

Brilliant. Love this conversation. His mantle.

[Joao]

If he cannot differentiate between friendship and work or even zim and non zim, then it's his problem, not mine.

[Ronnie]

It's his problem. It's his problem, not mine. That was insane.

[Daisy]

He can't take any accountability.

[Ronnie]

Ben's just like twats. Listen, I've got to be team Ben on this one. He gave you your half assed apology. What else do you want? At least he's fine.

[Jamie]

Money.

[Ronnie]

So yeah, I'll give him that. Go back to bed in the guest bedroom, King. Damn.

[Jamie]

Yeah.
