[Ronnie]

Hello and welcome to Watch what Crappens, the podcast for all the crap we love to talk about on Eagle Bravs. I'm Ronnie and that scorches Ben Mandelker. Hello, Benuni.

[Michelle]

Hi. How's it going? Good.

[Ronnie]

What's going on with you?

[Michelle]

Not much. Just, you know. You know what today is my anniversary with Dominique. How about that? So.

[Ronnie]

That's cute. I felt like it was your anniversary.

[Michelle]

I know. If these anniversaries just keep on rolling by. I mean, look, I've been with Dom now 12 years. We've been doing crappings for 14 years. I mean, time is flying by everyone.

[Ronnie]

It really is crazy. But thankfully it's crazy younger and hotter as the years go on. Well, happy anniversary to you two crazy lovebirds.

[Michelle]

Thank you.

[Ronnie]

Everybody else, sorry for your regular non anniversary day losers.

[Michelle]

I know. Enjoy your non anniversary. You know nothing. Well, I'M gonna, you know what, while you do the announcements, I will see what other things happen today because it's not about me. I'm gonna see what happens today on May 12. What are the special things on May 12? Go on.

[Ronnie]

Fingers crossed for Park.

[Michelle]

Overall, actually, yesterday we didn't. My, my Twitter timeline alerted me that 35 years ago yesterday was the series premiere of Sisters. It's a big, it's been a big week for sisters anniversaries. So there you go.

[Ronnie]

There you go. Today is Below Deck Down Under. If you want this on video as usual, you can get videos, bonus episodes. This week we're going to do a trailer trash on something because there's a bunch of new shows. Well, two new shows that have trailers on Bravo. So it'll either be next gen NYC or the McBee dynasty.

[Michelle]

about the Shrimp but it is about something very exciting, which is today is the birthday of a real housewife and a TV icon, a sitcom icon. Can you take a guess?

[Ronnie]

The only sitcom icon.

[Michelle]

Oh, you would be incorrect. There's actually someone who's a true sitcom icon who was a real housewife and her name is Ms. Kim Fields. Today is her birthday. It is also, yeah, the other birthday so far, not quite as Tony Hawk. Who cares? Rami Malek, Jason Biggs. You know, that's fine. Like it's not as Stephen Baldwin for those who care. Oh, Emilio Estevez. Which is weird because I got an email from someone named Email Emilio Estevez yesterday, but it was not the Emilio Estevez. And I thought, that's funny. Imagine getting an email from Emilio Estevez and then today is his birthday. Steve Winwood. Okay, it's shaping up.

[Ronnie]

It's a George Carlin kind of a D list birthday.

[Michelle]

It's not as it's like, these are like good stars, but they're not like stars that get me excited. I mean, Burt Bacharach is today.

[Ronnie]

Okay,

[Michelle]

Owner. That's the name of our side podcast. Catherine Hepburn.

[Ronnie]

Boner.

[Michelle]

Katherine Heern. Okay, Boner. But it's not, like, fun Katherine.

[Ronnie]

He's a good one. Katherine Heern's a good one. I mean, they should put Katherine Hepburn above Stephen Baldwin.

[Michelle]

I mean, well, it's chronologically. I'm just going through it, like. But Emily Van Camp. Oh, wait, that's pretty good revenge, right? She's the revenge lady.

[Ronnie]

Uhhuh. Yeah. What happened to her?

[Michelle]

But, like, does she still. Yeah, I don't know.

[Ronnie]

I think it was just.

[Michelle]

I don't know.

[Ronnie]

Didn't she marry the hot guy from Revenge and that was it. She's like, I'm done. I've made it with Revenge and I'm done. You know, every time I see Hannah from below deck, I think of Emily Van Camp. She looks just like her to me. She does like Hannah and Revenge. Revenge. Oh, Hannah's here to get a Revenge.

[Michelle]

Oh, well, that's actually a great segue going back into below deck because we are here obviously talking below deck down under. And you mentioned that there's two trailers. One of the trailers is for Below deck Med, and that's gonna be the next one that comes onto Bravo, which is interesting because that was also the la. The previous one. So I expect. I just assumed regular below deck would be coming next. But I am. I believe I'm just going to surmise here that, you know, Frazier had. Fraser had the very scary heart attack situation. And so I imagine maybe they delayed production while he recuperated. I'm not. I mean, I'm not sure. So they probably, probably were like, let's get an emergency Below deck Med season on the books. Because that's. This is the second time that's actually happened. I think the other time was when they had everything go down with blow deck sailing. And they're like, we got a couple together a Below deck Med season right away. Because they know they can just sort of like, they can just like print and play that one. You know, get Captain Sandy, get Asia, put them together on a boat and

[Ronnie]

go, yeah, well, that's what they get for getting rid of Below deck adventure.

[Michelle]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, honestly, like, can we bring back sailing and adventure? Like, I'm not. Why? Why can't we have those back? Like, yes, Gary was disgusting, but he's gone now. But put that sailboat back in the waters and see what happens.

[Ronnie]

Gotta be other douchebags who know how to work a sail. Yeah, I don't know. I would think. I don't know. But who knows? Right now, we're concerned with below deck, down under. It's a big day today. Lots of things happen today. Lots of tables turn today. We get a new. We get our new stew, and Jenna just really blows it.

[Michelle]

So Jenna blows it.

[Ronnie]

Jenna blows it.

[Michelle]

Wow. A season. Wow. We were. We were rooting for you. We were all rooting for you.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. Well, the guests are eating dinner. It's 9:22. And we go to the crew mess, and Daisy and Ellie are. What?

[Michelle]

Wait, it's 9 22? I thought it for sure is 9 23.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, it's very specific. 9 22. So we know something's very dramatic because

[Michelle]

it's not 9 25. That this one is not a gag weight. This is a. I am stopping the podcast right now because I'm looking at your face, Ronnie. And what people may not realize is every Monday, we do an Amazon live, and on yesterday's Amazon Live, Ronnie applied a. An overnight Korean mask. And I swear to God, Ronnie, I see it.

[Ronnie]

Do I look younger?

[Michelle]

I see the difference. I mean, you are, like, radiating. Holy. This is not me trying to do some sales pitch. I'm, like, looking. Your. Your cheeks are. Are just like. Like, just so smooth, and they have, like, the. They're like. They're like. It really is Norman Rockwell right here. This is.

[Ronnie]

I mean, Norman Rockwell. That's not a compliment.

[Michelle]

They're all people. But, like, it's like.

[Ronnie]

But like, you're saying I've cherubic.

[Michelle]

Smooth as an apple, you know?

[Ronnie]

Well, that's when they first started doing peels during the Norman Rockwell paintings. Well, thanks, man. That's so sweet.

[Michelle]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

It might just be my new lighting, because, you know, I put up some new lighting in here.

[Michelle]

Well, whatever it is, I mean, you look. I mean, it's crazy, Ronnie.

[Ronnie]

Hey, listen, I'll take it. That's always a good reason to interrupt the podcast.

[Michelle]

Yeah, no, I had to. I have to give you your flowers,

[Ronnie]

start the podcast again. Yeah, just talking about that. I love it.

[Michelle]

I do a mask myself.

[Ronnie]

Hey, well, I'll send you some of that. I'll send you some of that. Mask.

[Michelle]

Yeah, please. Mask for mask. Please.

[Ronnie]

It was fun. Hell, yes. So now people are eating dinner, and Daisy and Ellie are fighting in the mess. And this is because Ellie grabbed Shrimp out of Daisy's hand. Daisy went crazy, and now she's, you know, mad. At Ellie, but she's got these like two 80s pigtails in uneven, and she looks insane. And Ellie's trying to gaslight her, but Daisy is also losing her temper and does look insane. So it's like the perfect time to gaslight somebody when they already look crazy, you know?

[Michelle]

Yeah, Yeah. I mean, Daisy really looks like she is a. Like, she's. She's like not a main character, but like a guest character who plays one of the friends of the daughters on just the 10 of us. Like, she just knocks on the door like, hi, you're ready to come play in the park? It's like, dad, can I go play in the park with Daisy? Like, she definitely has that, like 1989 look.

[Ronnie]

And the dad's like, I'm not letting her play with that girl. So she can't even get her pigtail straight.

[Michelle]

I brought shrimp for us, though, to put in glasses.

[Ronnie]

You're not. Took my shrimp.

[Michelle]

So, dad, can I play shrimp and glasses with Daisy, please? Okay, calm down.

[Ronnie]

Very calm down a little bit. You're getting very intense. Look, it's me. High pitch deli, which means I'm being either very, very nice or very, very tricky. You decide. And Daisy's like, yeah, just grab shrimp out of my hand during dinner service. And now you're telling me that that's your job when I was trying to help.

[Michelle]

No, because you are struggling to put it in two sides. Oh, my goodness. Like, little poor Daisy can't put shrimp in glass. The simplest thing, you put shrimp down inside the glass, but you couldn't do it, so I was helping.

[Ronnie]

It is so hard to deal with somebody who has not realized that they are no longer capable of putting shrimp on glass. God bless Daisy, everyone. Pray for Daisy. Fruit stand.

[Michelle]

It's like old Yugoslavia nursery rhyme. Shrimp in glass. Shrimp in glass. Put the shrimp in the glass. Nice. If you can't, oh, well, you're a fucking bitch. God, I love that song.

[Ronnie]

Gaslighting left and right and fucking center on fucking real. So she walks off. Check. No need to be so intense. Okay. Lady who just ran up 80,000 stairs a couple of weeks ago through the guests to yell at captain Jason that you were being tortured in a galley.

[Michelle]

Ellie, no need to be this intense. Now excuse me while I make a five stage lemon meringue cheesecake for a guy I kind of like. Don't. Don't be so intense.

[Ronnie]

So that's not going well. So Daisy and Alicia are in the stairwell, and Daisy's like, she keeps it. She keeps this shit up I'm telling you, she'll be fired next. So it's just like Survivor. If you want to get somebody out today, you better get them out today because everything's gonna change tomorrow if you don't get them out while you have the chance. It is not gonna happen. And there was a twist, There was a Survivor twist and things changed. And nowadays he can't just get her out. You see.

[Michelle]

God, it was so good last week. What an episode. So good last week. Episode.

[Ronnie]

It really was. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappin's commercial. Lately I've been more intentional about what I wear day to day and I'm leaning into pieces that feel easy and comfortable but still put together. It just makes getting dressed simpler. Quince has been my go to. The fabrics feel elevated, the fits are clean and everything just works without needing to overthink it.

[Michelle]

Quinn's has all the wardrobe staples for spring. Think 100% European linen shorts and shirts from $34. Lightweight, breathable and comfortable, but still look put together and clean. And 100% Pima cotton tees with a softness that has to be felt.

[Ronnie]

Ronnie Their pants also hit that same balance. Relaxed and comfortable, but still polished enough to wear pretty much anywhere.

[Michelle]

Everything is priced 50 to 80% less than what you'd find at similar brands. And Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen. So you're getting premium materials without the markup. Let me tell you something. That Mongolian cashmere sweater that I got from Quint that is like a real icebreaker at parties. Because when people ask me about that sweater and I'm like, oh, I got it at Quint. They're like, oh my God, I have one from Quint too. And then we bond. You would actually would never think a Mongolian cashmere sweater could be such a bonding thing, but it is a lovely, luxurious item.

Not available in all states. Okay, so Kim upstairs. This lady Kim, is like, if I could survive off of only one kind of food, I think it would be the potato. They all laugh.

[Ronnie]

And then, like, Kim, because I. You know, generally, I like people. If we share stances on potatoes. Like, I found that to be, like, a genuine. A genuine truth with people. If we like the same kind of potatoes or if we're at dinner and someone's like, oh, my God, the potatoes are so good. And I think the potatoes are good. Usually I really like that person. But Kim. Kim's the one who was like, my what? My hair is frizzy. What am I? Monica from Friends? So now my whole stance on potato camaraderie, you know?

[Michelle]

Yeah, I think she, like, found that, like, potatoes are kind of a thing that people like. And she's like, I'm gonna. I'm gonna lean into that. I'm gonna make America love me. I'm gonna get a spin off. So in the. Daisy. I'm sorry, in the galley, I'm gonna

[Ronnie]

manipulate people who normally wouldn't like me into liking me because I like potatoes. Yeah, that's Kim. I'm Kim. What about Monica from France?

[Michelle]

I'm Kim on this charter of actually very nice people. I gotta be the nicest. So Ellie is like, daisy just attacked me. He's like, oh, really? About what? Well, she said, I did not have the right to grab shrimp out of her hands. And she was offended by my actions. And so. God. So Jenna is, like, listening. She's, like, trying to listen in. But Batul's like, where's this sponge? This was the sponge. What did the sponge go? Where does the sponge like Batul? She's clearly eavesdropping.

[Ronnie]

Now you know how I feel.

[Michelle]

Sponge. Sponge. Sponge. Where's sponge?

[Ronnie]

She just yelled at me. The crew mess about it. And I don't think it's appropriate yelling at me about shrimp. He's like, no, no, it's not. Very, very inappropriate. Where is she now? Bad girl. Bad girl. And he's telling us attack. That's a very large word. I didn't know if anyone was capable of verbally attacking people other than Ellie.

[Michelle]

It's not that I don't trust her, but I'm skeptical. Can you blame me? And just to emphasize the point, I'm going to cross my arms and rock back and forth in my confessional chair.

[Ronnie]

Rockaby.

[Michelle]

Benny. So that is like.

[Ronnie]

All right, well, I'll be having a word with her.

[Michelle]

Okay. I appreciate that. But also, we don't want a war. How dare you? You know what I went through. So then we go to Daisy and Alicia in the stairwell again. And Daisy's like, I mean, what kind of gaslighting is that to ask me a go? Don't be so intense, Daisy. Oh, everyone just needs to back off. Lisa's like, maybe we should go to the laundry room. Yes. Why are you going that direction, Lycia? I actually don't know where the laundry room is. Oh, good Lord.

[Ronnie]

We are a team, me and you men, right? He's like, yeah, we're definitely a team. My little butterscotch bile ducked. And I will take care of this for you. I don't want you to worry about it. Right, team. Me and you, Ellie. Ben. Team. So then back to the laundry room. Daisy's like, what just happened? When I left the galley there, Jenna's like, well, I was trying to airstrap, but I was trying to talk to me at the same time. She wanted something about a sponge, I think, on his mouth. Did you have a sponge? Something like that.

[Michelle]

She's living in her own world, obviously. Batul, like, trying to put her covers on, and, like, her feet are, like, caught in it. She's like, sponge, sponge, sponge. So then in the laundry room, Daisy's like, I am in shock over what happened. Yeah, she's making it look like you about the sh. I think I agree with what you're saying, and, like, you're encroaching on my team, and you're being a mean girl to Alicia and you're sending out crazy robbers.

[Ronnie]

She literally did the same thing to me. If she was saying that Jenna was brief, being really close with Joao and flirting in the hot tub. So Alicia and Jenna's like, ellie, what the fuck is wrong with you, girl? Give me a fucking break.

[Michelle]

I think she needs to get back into her fucking box. Well, thanks, girls, for supporting me and having my back. It's like, yeah, call your shit. And you do that. And I have to say, I don't know what you're saying anymore. So just. Let's just hug.

[Ronnie]

I'll just assume it's supportive. All right, so now we go to Eddie and Joelle and the crew mess. And Eddie's like, how many wines did you have with Jenna last night? He's like, well, you know, we had quite a bit of wine, that's for sure, and we had very good conversation. She's very cool. I like her as a, you know, a zim friend. Very, very, very good friend. Just a friend. Well, to be fair, you've not done anything wrong. But, you know, I'm looking at Jenna when I sit there, I'm like, oh, brilliant, you want to go sit in a hot tub with another bloke. It's not nice to see. And with the whole, is she a car? I'm looking at Jenna. I was thinking of buying that. You know, I was looking at her, but God, the safety features. I mean, you hit a speed bump, your wheel falls off. Who wants to drive that? I'm rethinking this whole purchase. The car already drove away from you, sir. You can't afford that car. Okay.

[Michelle]

Yeah, it's not nice to see. It's also not nice to see the guy who is claiming he's really into you texting the other girl in your department saying that he wishes if, if, like, if I weren't here, then, then he would go after someone else or something like that, or he doesn't like, I'm nothing. So, like, yeah, you're just gonna have to get over it. And I am aware that this all goes out the window at the end of the episode, but I'm living in the present right now, and he's really

[Ronnie]

enjoy my feelings while I am allowed to have them. And that's gonna end in about 15 minutes, so I'm still gonna enjoy this.

[Michelle]

Eddie.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, she dumped you. Stop acting like she's yours. And you're not being cheated on. She's not with you.

[Michelle]

Yeah, she's not with you, and you have no chance with her whatsoever. And that will remain true for a very long time.

[Ronnie]

Jenna is way too smart to even give you a chance. Another chance, you mullet headed weirdo.

[Michelle]

He's like, not only has Jenna cut things off with me, apparently it's blatant now and she's starting to move on, flirting with every other guy on the boat but me. And I still like her. So it's just a lot to juggling my brain right now. I'm like, yeah, you know why she's flirting with every other guy in the boat but you? Because she already tried you out and she didn't like it, so she ended it. So she's not flirting with you and there's only like two other guys to flirt with, so don't act like she's going around the entire town. I'm flirting with every single person. It's just two other guys.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So he's like, you know, I wasn't happy looking at you in that hot tub and I was like, Who? What? Ellie? And he goes, yeah, Ellie was mad. And he's like, well, I can't be bothered being made to feel like something I'm not when I've literally said what I needed to say to. To each their own. Honestly, to each their own. Each to their own. Rather, each to their own. It's. It's a regional thing.

[Michelle]

Does. Does Zim. Ellie not even remember when I very clearly told her, look, you are a beautiful person, and I enjoy beautiful people, and I am sexually attracted to you, but in a way that I'm not sexually attracted to you. And I think it's best that if we call this off, but keep going, but also. But in a way that we're calling it off, but I would like to be friends with benefits, but with no benefits whatsoever. And it's best if we never talk to each other again. Except when we talk to each other. I think we're on the same page, are we not?

[Ronnie]

I've really learned a lesson here, which is to just tell a woman, please make me a lemon meringue cheesecake, and I'll you after. Just kidding. You're dying alone. But thanks for the cheesecake.

[Michelle]

So, by the way, I really want to make some Basque cheesecake. Ever since yesterday when I showed that picture. So good. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

God, sounds so. And also, you showed flan off yesterday, and that sounds really good. I want to eat some flan. And then we were talking about K. Michelle, who on Real Real Housewives of Atlanta, who had a guy texting her like he likes her buns, but he literally meant no. He wanted her cakes, but he literally meant her bunt cakes. And then that made me want bunt cakes. Basically, what I'm saying is GLP ones don't work forever. So anybody who's like, oh, I'm gonna lose weight. I'm gonna keep it off forever, guess what? That stops working. And then what are you supposed to do? Take coke back up. That's too expensive. I'm not doing that. Probably have a heart attack now. What am I supposed to do? Just. You know what you're supposed to do? Stay hungry forever. That's it.

[Michelle]

God, I would also love to make a bun cake. God, I have all these bun tins that I never use. I never use them. Okay, so we cut to Jason, and he's checking on the guests. They're all going to go fishing tomorrow, which is exciting. And Jenna and Eddie are by the bar. It's. By the way, last night was a big night for fishing on Bravo because they also went Fishing on Top Chef. And you know.

[Ronnie]

Oh, God, I forgot to watch that. No, I did watch that. You know what? I fell asleep watching that on the plane.

[Michelle]

You didn't finish it? Because I turned on the screener and it was like, midway through.

[Ronnie]

Oh, I did finish it, but I downloaded it to the. So I could watch it on the plane and I fell asleep in the middle. That's not a good sign.

[Michelle]

I wasn't happy. I was not thrilled.

[Ronnie]

Didn't love it.

[Michelle]

But with the outcome, I should say the episode was great. So Eddie. Jenna and Eddie are by the bar and he's like, I like your hair like that. Oh, yeah. I look like a kid. I do look like a kid. Yes. See you in the morning. Okay, well, I think she's being pretty fun and nice to you and you're like, see you in the morning.

[Ronnie]

Bye.

[Michelle]

Whatever.

[Ronnie]

Because he wants to be sad, so she'll chase him and be like, yeah, okay. He was doing the whiny boys thing. It's like, if that does work for you, it's the wrong relationship where you have to get attention by being like, I'm sad. So someone will come over and be like, but I really love you. That's not a good relationship. Anyway. He's just so gross. Get out of here, Eddie. So you never have a chance. You have no chance with Jenna. 0, 0. Go to bed and remember that until tomorrow.

[Michelle]

Yeah, yeah. Get out. Get out. Didn't Jojo have a song called Get Out? To which I say, like, Jojo said, get out. So Ben next. It's the next day and Ben is checking on Jenna in the crew mess. He's like, oh, what's going on? The poopy poopy pucker. And she's like, oh, well, I saw you a bit stressed. He's like, yes, I was a bit stressed, but I'm going to lie down right now. And then we see Jason. He's. He's on the phone and he's like talking on the. In the bridge. He's getting ready for the day. And then Joao and Daisy, they're in their room together and she comes out of the bathroom. She's like, hi, how are you? Me and Ellie have had a big bust up. It was really crazy, to be honest. Have you ever been holding a shrimp and about to be putting it in a glass and then someone takes a shrimp out of your hands and puts it in the glass for you? Well, you understand now, huh?

[Ronnie]

Well, I'm livid with her as well. I didn't go into the galley anymore because she's made it too uncomfortable. Anyway, go to sleep. Have a rest. We'll think about this. You can think about how much you wanted to touch that shrimp. And I'll think about how much I miss looking in that galley and thinking, wow, that cheesecake smells really good.

[Michelle]

Poor Joao can't go in the galley anymore. His life is over.

[Ronnie]

So now we go to Ben and Eddie talking in their room, and Ben's telling him the goss that Ellie and Daisy got into it. And Eddie's like, well, I mean, it's just probably, you know, just Daisy's sharing a room with Joao, you know? You know, I'm just gonna shut the up because it's not my place to say. Well, it's easy to say something, but it's actually easier not to say something because the aftermath is just so much worse. I mean, it's a tricky one. I've seen Elliot are worst, and it's not good. And, like, Daisy's an unnerving presence in the G, so she's scary. I've really got to tread very carefully, all right? Which is something I've never had to do in my life. I actually went to my bed, grabbed the pillow, and called it Klondike knuckles. I mean, it's really rough for me these days.

[Michelle]

And then the pillow wrote me up. I couldn't even believe it. So now. Now it is the next morning. I think I erroneously said that earlier. And Joao is like, well, Daisy, do you want to snuggle? And she's like, we'll see, maybe later. And they're all waking up and. And sort of getting into where they want to be. Bernard, who is the dad, visits Jason in the bridge. This guy's so cute. He just stands there. He's like. He's like, oh, yeah. He's like, I just. I don't want him in your way. I just wanna stand and watch. Which is nice, because normally whenever people go into the bridge and want to see Captain Jason do his thing, it's always someone like, oh, my God, there's, like, so many dials. Can I. This one? Can I touch this one? What does that one do? Oh, my God. This is, like, crazy. And you can read them all, like, wow. And he. Benaz, just sitting there just, like, peacefully and quietly, just watching, Just like, yeah.

[Ronnie]

He's like, don't worry. I just want to do regular dad things. Okay, Just don't mind me. Go ahead, drive the boat. He's driving it. Are you sure you shouldn't make a Right there. I think you should make a right here. Sorry, it's a dad thing. This is broken. Just dad just pressing buttons. I think this might be broken. Stop touching the button, God damn it. My dad still gets into my car. Every time I take him somewhere, he gets in my car and he goes, why do these door handles not open outwards? What do you have? Who pushes a door handle? I'm like, dad, it's been years. It's been like five years. You'll get used to it. And then he starts jiggling it. It's like, no, it should be able to pull this way. And then one time he did pull it and it did open because it has, like, an emergency where you can pull it. And he's like, I did it. I told you. I told you it would pull inward. People just aren't going to change that, the world that dramatically this quickly. Like, well, you solved that one.

[Michelle]

Yeah. Thanks, dad. You. You won. You won. Dad Vers the handles. Although I do think he has a. A good point, because largely I don't. I don't really understand why all the car companies are trying to innovate with handles and are, like, hiding them, making them, like, vertical. But they're all. They're like embedded and you have to do all these weird things and, like, congratulations, you know, Elon Musk did a funky handle on the Tesla. We don't all have to do a funky handle. I'm good with the classics. Give me something where I can see it. I can put my hand around it. Like, I don't. I'm like. I'm not that pressed about having a super smooth exterior. Like, yeah, it's okay.

[Ronnie]

I mean, I think. Or like how when you get one or you drive a nicer car and they're like, oh, it's the urine. A Mercedes now. So we've hidden the turn signal. Yeah, it's not. It's not going to be in the normal place. Yeah, headlights. Yeah, those aren't going to be in a normal place. Good luck finding them. Okay. Poor person.

[Michelle]

It's a very engineer mindset. Like, engineers love everything elegant and like, like, clean presentation, which is great. But then they wind up hiding everything away from you and you're like, where is it? Where's the thing? I mean, like, hotels. Trying to find the. The switches to turn off lights in a hotel. That's. That's the thing. That's my number two pet peeve behind new door handles. Our hotel light switches. Why can't they be at intuitive places? Why can't they all be in the same place Always? Every single time. Is it, oh, this lamp, the switches on the lamp on the pole. But this lamp, it's down at the floor. And this one, you have to go to a switch all the way across the room. Why do they do that to us every single time?

[Ronnie]

Every single time.

[Michelle]

Commercials. Here comes one right now. Grilling season is finally here. And let's be honest, the difference between a good cookout and a great one comes down to the quality of your meat.

[Ronnie]

All right, now we go to Eddie, Joao, and Batul in the crew mess. And Joao's like, well, I'm thinking about it. Batul, would you like to have the chance to duck a boat? I'll be here with you. And she's like, oh, my God. Yes. Oh, my God. And she's like, it's so difficult to be a female that can't. Like, if you're lucky to find a position on a yacht, you prove yourself. And I can feel my anxiety level, but I'm trying to develop myself, so I'm going to do it.

[Michelle]

Oh, so it's that.

[Ronnie]

Wow. It's. It's that thing they do every season where they're like, you have been chosen to hold the steering wheel while dad backs into the parallel.

[Michelle]

I know. You're gonna sit on dad's lap and put your hands on the steering wheel wheel.

[Ronnie]

Oh, I love that.

[Michelle]

I'll be appreciated. So I was like, yes, and I'm going to be on the app with you. And so you're gonna call out. It's like, yeah, I'm ready to kill it. So then Ben and Daisy are on the sun deck, and Ben is like, do you want to just go quickly over what the is going on? So I know. All right, well, the shrimp thing was weird, but I was like, whatever. If you want to do the shrimp, okay, I'll let you do the shrimp. I'm trying to help you. And she set me. She set me off by coming up to me in the front of everybody and said, do we have a problem? So then when I reacted, she was like, oh, why are you so intense after she spread. Fucking weird. She's been so fucking weird and watching everyone in the hot tub. I've had enough, Ben.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, she said that she spread all these rumors about, you know, the hot tub thing. And he's like, well, I did think it was kind of out of character for you to go and rehash something there. I mean, generally when you like to rehash things, it's to do with Me? When you like to come in and say, oh, how could you treat me like, you know, that sort of thing? Well, I was gonna let it all start, but what did she say to you? That goddamn batch. And he's like, well, that you attacked her. She goes, oh, I attacked her? I attacked her. Oh, that's wretched. That's right.

[Michelle]

I'm really upset about what's happened. It's not right. I don't deserve it. She's using dangerous buzzwords and creating a campaign against me, and it's really scary to be gaslit like that. She's trying to pit us two against each other.

[Ronnie]

Ban.

[Michelle]

It's like, yeah, well, it's not gonna happen. I don't think it is. Are you against me? You're against me. She's against me. Everyone okay? Ben, you're really too easy.

[Ronnie]

So now Jenna and Alicia are in the crew mess getting to work. And in the galley, Ben is calling for eggy weggies. Come pick up the eggy weggies. And so people are starting to run breakfast. And Kim. Guys, it's Kim, okay? She hears Daisy's accent. She's like, oh, my God, I love your accent. You know, the reason that we all know each other here is because we went to medical school in Dublin. That's right. Dub, Lynn, you know those people. Y' all know each other. Pot of gold. Pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. We waited for a rainbow. Can I tell you, all through medical school, never saw a rainbow. I think that's why everyone's so poor. Just everyone is just the economy. Leprechaun economy is tanking over there.

[Michelle]

It's just. It's so funny that you have an Irish accent. Because we've been to Ireland, which is like. It's crazy. We're basically Irish ourselves. We've seen Enya's castle. It's just right there on the side of the road. It's wild.

[Ronnie]

Anyway, Bernard the other day, just ordered an Irish coffee. He must have known you were coming.

[Michelle]

I have a question. If I say the following things, does it make you feel a certain sort of way where the streets have no name? Feels good, right? Irish.

[Ronnie]

Listen, I'm gonna have this breakfast, and I'm gonna have this breakfast with or without you.

[Michelle]

You know what's funny? Vanad, tell them about the. You know what's funny? Irish flag, Indian flag, same colors. If you think about it. I mean, you don't even have to think about it. Just, look, we're basically the same people, right, guys?

[Ronnie]

Right?

[Michelle]

I Mean, I know I'm the white lady here, but still, thank God this

[Ronnie]

boat's not on a river. Daisy here would start clogging.

[Michelle]

By the way, when we were. When Ronnie and I were in Ireland, our tour guide said that the. He was like, the Indian flag. He was like, oh, God. He's like, the. In the. The. The Indians were so. Were so, like, proud of the Irish that they made their flag, like, just like ours. Like,

[Ronnie]

we had a tour guide making some up, that's for sure. Not true. Because the original tour, we. We actually missed the original tour we were supposed to take. And the girl who planned it for us, our friend, was so upset about it, and we're like, no, no, don't worry. We'll find. We'll find a makeup tour. And so we asked the front desk, and they're like, oh, sure, we know a guy. Just meet him outside. He'll come pick you up in his van. And this guy was just making shit up left and right. And everywhere we went, he'd be like, let me tell you, this is the Guinness Factory. Let me tell you who loves it. Bono loves it there all the time. Look at that. J. Crew. Bono loves J. Crew. He loves their khakis, doesn't he? God, we love that guy here.

[Michelle]

Yeah. He was like, oh. As Irish, we resisted the English and the. And India was so impressed with us that they made their flag just like ours. Like. And by the way, the. The top band, the Indian flag is. The colors represent, like, saffron, which is represent sacrifice. White represents truth and purity, and the bottom is green, representing faith and fertility. So I think it was.

[Ronnie]

Well, you got those all from Ireland, didn't you?

[Michelle]

Saffron, classic Irish spice. That was the funniest. It was the best. Best tour. I love it.

[Ronnie]

That really was. He'd be like, you know, we're good, loving people, the Irish. We love everybody the same. But the English, the streets were running with the blood of the. Of the people that. It's like, oh, my God.

[Michelle]

And then you would always, at the last second, be like, but we love them now. We love them.

[Ronnie]

We love them. We're friends now. Okay?

[Michelle]

So, by the way, we did see Enya's Castle, and I later saw something about Enya's Castle, and Brian was right. That was Enya's castle. He was not lying there. We drove right by Enya's house, which is kind of cool.

[Ronnie]

Oh, yeah. I don't think he was lying. It's just everything we had to do either had to do with how terrible the English people were or where Bono was or what on what Anya like to do on her day off, you know, which was sitting around the castle. She doesn't really come out of the castle. We learned.

[Michelle]

Yeah. Yeah. Especially because the castle's right on the main road. It's like a Sutton's drag castle.

[Ronnie]

It's on the main road. So embarrassed we were. We left. Really embarrassed for Anya on the road.

[Michelle]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. Daisy and Alicia are in the pantry, and they're looking over the new girl's cv, and Alicia's like, oh, my God, she looks terrifying.

[Michelle]

Which is funny in retrospect when we find out who it is. So then we see Ellie gets a text from the new girl, and new girl says, hey, girl, are you on Katina? I'm headed there as we speak. As long as my dad allows me. I was like, wow, that's weird. And Ellie is like, just have to

[Ronnie]

stop at a Louis store.

[Michelle]

Can we make sure that this yacht is carrying Pepsi Cola products? Thank you so much.

[Ronnie]

I don't even work for money. I work for bags. Okay. Bags. This charter. I'm calling this the Bergen charter.

[Michelle]

So, Ellie. Oh, best news ever. So then back. Pack the. Pack the cooler. Pack the cooler and the soda and the coke and champagne, because guess what? The guests are going fishing. So the guests are going to go fishing. And while they go fishing, Jason has Eddie go to the dock to pick up the new stew. And Ellie is talking to Ben about this, and she said, did you hear who's coming? He's like, do you know her? It's like, yes. She is a good friend of mine. And her chatter season, she clashed a

[Ronnie]

lot with her chiefs, too.

[Michelle]

So good luck to Daisy.

[Ronnie]

To see a picture of her. Pull up her only fans. All right, I'll be the judge of this. So she shows him a picture, and he's like, oh, wow. Definitely very pretty. She does look like trouble. I'll say that. She looks like trouble. I said this in her first season, and I stand by it. I think it's the eyebrows. I don't know what it is. They're power eyebrows. There's something about her eyebrows that just terrify people. I don't know what it is. I'm gonna. I'm gonna take a picture of them and go get my eyebrows waxed to look exactly the same way. Just. I want to intimidate everybody because, like, everybody who sees her picture is like, oh, my God, she's terrifying. And I can't figure out what it is. The only thing I Can see that stands out to me are the eyebrows. So I'm getting them.

[Michelle]

And I still. I still also believe that it was her who. Who took what you said about Fraser and brought it back to Anthony the chef and made Anthony mad at Fraser. On that last.

[Ronnie]

I don't know if that's just fan fiction or not, but I love it. It still makes me sleep well at night, so. Because Fraser makes me crazy too. So I was like, yes, I love that I got to torture Fraser for an extra season. So Ellie hands over the phone. He thinks she's pretty, but trouble. And Jenna's listening to all of this, and she walks away. And she's like, that's not a good son. That's not a good sign. It's my man.

[Michelle]

So Jenna goes into her cabin. She's like. And B's like, what? She's like, well, we're getting used to today, and I'm scared she's gonna be. To respect me for. For being her superior. She's not gonna respect me because of what Ellie says about me because she's president. You know what I mean? That's what I about. She was like, whoa, okay, so Jenna

[Ronnie]

together. And we don't need any more pigeon thumb.

[Michelle]

I like when she gets like that.

[Ronnie]

When she gets like,

[Michelle]

whoever you're friends with. Yeah, like that. That's like a. I don't know what you're saying, but I heard something about rotten apples. So anyway, I'm still working on getting my feet in this sheet, so have a good day.

[Ronnie]

So Eddie picks up the stew, and it's Barbie. And he's like. He's like, hello, I'm Eddie. He's like, oh, my God, you're Eddie. I'm Barbie. Nice, Timmy. You know, my eyebrows don't really approve, but we'll talk about that later. Just get me out of the boat, loser.

[Michelle]

I was surprised. I really thought it was gonna be Brie from the last season with Ellie because I thought that maybe, like, Ellie and Brie had, like, bonded in a weird way in the wake of the Joe situation. But then as they kept on showing the stew from behind, I was like, it looks a little too. Too tall to be Brie, but, you know, you never know. But Barbie was not who I was expecting. And I. I don't remember what. Who was on Ellie's first season because that was so long ago. And Ellie showed up at the very end of that season. I have no recollection of what season she was on, but I'm one. But I don't think it was the season with Barbie, was it? I think they probably just made friends and probably in Florida somewhere, the way all the below deck people do, you know, hanging out at like the Jimmy Buffett, you know, Tampa.

[Ronnie]

Somewhere in Tampa. Some super classy Tampa bar. They all met up.

[Michelle]

Yeah, something like that. Besties.

[Ronnie]

So yeah, if you're, if you're looking to me to help you to see who was in that cast. Yeah, I don't, I don't remember. Especially below decks. Below decks I immediately delete from the DVR because it never ends. It just never ends. So then Ben's like, wow, we're gonna have a nice fresh face around here. Jenna, same thing. She's like, yeah, give someone else for duality hit on I guess. I don't want to have to deal with.

[Michelle]

And Ellie's like, I'm sorry. Elliot's like, oh yes, I don't give a. So then Eddie is talking to Barbie on the tender and he's like, so have you worked on yachts long? She's like, yeah, I have. Seven years. A lot of bags. A lot of bags. Like a lot of begging. No bags. Bags. I have a midwestern accent when I say bags. For some reason.

[Ronnie]

I love bags. He's like, you'll be fun then. Hi guys. I'm back. Coming back into yachting is difficult because my last season, technically I quit. I mean, technically. And then we see a flashback. I forgot about this and I was cracking up watching this clip. Fraser was her chief stew and she's just having a meltdown saying you guys wanted to drive me batshit crazy. Fine, you, you win. I'm out of here. I'm done. I quit. You people just like throwing her stuff in the. In her. Lou getting the hell out of there nightmare.

[Michelle]

So she goes, after last season, I self reflected and my therapist deserves a raise. I'm like, isn't your therapist your mom?

[Ronnie]

It's your mom. Yeah, that's your mom. Wasn't my mom the sex therapist? Yeah.

[Michelle]

Yes. See my therapist.

[Ronnie]

And she told me I just needed more deck. It was my mom, so. Yeah, but you know, I'm still me. It's just more refined version of me. You might notice my updated eyebrows. Are they terrifying? Good, it worked. I'll try to think before I speak now. I mean, it doesn't always work, but you know, coming into the season, I'm late. I'm sure there's already enough drama. I've gotten an earload of it from Ellie, so I'm going to be a Part of it, but I'm not going to be the problem. Okay. Guess who's going to be in charge. The fruit seller. Ellie's going to be in charge. I'm just here to. Just here to back her up.

[Michelle]

Okay. Yeah. Because I'm refined now. You can call me Barbara. So Barbie's, like, telling Eddie that she's from Argentina and everything. And Eddie's like, oh, really? I'm going there after the season, trying to learn Spanish. Oh, how's it going? What do you. What do you got? Hola. He's like, yeah, Amateur. Stupid, stupid face. Never introducing you to my dad.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, I'm sure she's never heard that one either. Like a pretty girl. Like, I'm from Argentina. Oh, I'm going there. Wow.

[Michelle]

Don't go to the land.

[Ronnie]

We should. We should. We should.

[Michelle]

So the guests are fishing and. Or. And Emily is gonna asks Lisa if she's gonna be going to fish with him. And Alicia's like, no, I'll let you guys have your fun. I'm having such a good time with the guests. They're the most normal, lovely, wholesome, light people we've had in such a long time. And now with Mark gone, there should be no more drama. It's a privilege to be here, to be present, to be grateful, to be still as inept as ever, but not having a little bratty boy next to me.

[Ronnie]

She's changed so much. She's so different than she was in the first half of the season. So someone catches a fish, the wahoo, to that guest who's like, we don't need no wahoo. We're Italians. Hey, you got a fish made out of pasta. Remember that guy? He's like, what the wahoo? So they're trying. By catching Oahu. I felt bad for the wahoo. And I liked that the wife was like, ew. Because he's like, yes, look at this dead fish I got. And the wife is, like, horrified. She's behind them, like, disgusting.

[Michelle]

It's a beautiful fish. It's a beautiful, beautiful fish.

[Ronnie]

So it's beautiful. So we should murder it and then hold it above our heads and celebrate it.

[Michelle]

I went to the randomly went to the Jaws exhibit yesterday at the Academ the face.

[Ronnie]

Sometimes there's just too much time. I don't know what you're doing, and I feel like I know what you're doing a lot. But what.

[Michelle]

No, I went to.

[Ronnie]

What were you doing over there?

[Michelle]

Dom and I went to the Academy Award museum because we never. He had never been there before. So we're like, he has to work a lot today. So like, oh, for our anniversary let's go to a museum. So we went to that one because he'd never been. It's actually a really good museum. And they had a whole exhibit on Jaws, which is funny because I feel like we like every like two months or every month we mention Jaws because It's like the 50th anniversary or whatever and it's just like constantly Jaws. So I forget where I was going with this. Something about fishing boats and sharks. I don't know. I just feel like I have a lot of sharks in the mind right now. Sharks and fish and everything. And I honestly don't remember my point at this point. There's no.

[Ronnie]

Sorry I interrupted you.

[Michelle]

On the mind. I, I, I guess what I have on my mind is be careful of the fish because they will eat us if we're not careful.

[Ronnie]

I learned that at the Jaws museum.

[Michelle]

I learned that from Jaws.

[Ronnie]

I don't know what that job. I don't remember. You know those, those things are dangerous. They're, they're terrifying.

[Michelle]

So they also had a Barbie exhibit too, by the way. It was very below deck coded. Very below deck coded.

[Ronnie]

God, it really is.

[Michelle]

They even had a little exhibit on the side for something called Sugar Tits. And I was like, wow, this is just the most below deck down under thing I've ever seen. Okay, sorry, go on.

[Ronnie]

Speaking of Barbie, I'm gonna go see Billie Eilish tonight. The concert. But at the movie theater. Cuz it's in the movie theater. So me and my nieces are going to go. It's not exciting.
