Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Nathan vs. Joe: Gail-Gate Escalates

• Tense Confrontation: The episode kicks off with Nathan furious at Joe for mentioning his ex, Gail, at dinner. Nathan’s over-the-top reaction spirals into a moral declaration about respecting “the mother of my child.”
  • “That's the fucking mother of my child. You'd fucking respect me when I'm saying that to you. Because guess what? She deserves all the respect in the world before I ghost her again.” (Tom, 06:14)
• Hosts’ Take: Ben and Ronnie find Nathan’s crusade both entertaining and exhausting, lampooning his selective outrage.
  • “Can we stop your feminist parade? It's so fake coming from you. Just stop it, okay?” (Brian, 10:33)
  • They observe that Joe does the smart thing by keeping calm: “Joe’s just doing his teeth touching, smile with wide eyes. ‘I respect it completely.’” (Brian, 07:06)

2. Interior Crew Dynamics: Jen, Kaylee, and Cat

• Jen as Villain: Jen, the stew, comes across as aggressive, unapologetic, and completely self-unaware; the hosts revel in her “full beef” personality.
  • “Jen, you are the beef. You are the full cow. I'm just making a beef analogy. But you are the full beef patty.” (Tom, 07:44)
• Kaylee’s Self-Image & Lip Tattoo:
  • Kaylee reveals she has "liability" tattooed inside her lip because everyone calls her a liability in every country she visits. The hosts are equal parts baffled and amused.
    • “Liability. Someone has finally trumped Tamra’s son Ryan for getting ‘nugget’ in his lips.” (Tom, 16:16)
    • “If you tattoo a word on the inside of your lip, that means you live in canker sore privilege.” (Tom, 17:22)
• Cat’s Oddball Charm: Cat provides comic relief with non-sequiturs about wanting a house full of cats and her musical-theater-like whimsy.
  • “She is definitely a character from Schmigadoon.” (Brian, 11:46)

3. After Dark: Relationship Foreshadowing

• Flirtation Circuit: The cast splits into flirtation and party mode, triggering jealousy and more Bravo-style love triangles.
• Joe & Kaylee: Joe unloads about needing a distraction from Nathan drama, while Kaylee plays it coy about relationships.
  • “Not a single part of me wants to be in a relationship. … I'm enjoying being independent, slowly figuring out who I am.” (Kaylee, 29:45)
• Cooper & Cat: Their awkward, adorable flirtation culminates in a kiss:
  • "I want to kiss you so bad. But I haven't said it." (Cat, 31:50)
  • "I'm just like, grinning just like a little girl. … it's just funny to me when people who are, like, 21 are like, I just feel so young again." (Tom, 31:06)

4. Morning Restart and Promotion Drama

• Kitchen Antics & Boat Prep: Early morning sees Joy cheerfully prepping with her typical French humor, while Sandy fusses with yacht gadgets.
• Second Stew Surprise: In a twist, Kaylee is promoted to second stew over Jen, causing a meltdown.
  • “Being a suck up helps. And I hate that.” (Jen, 49:31)
  • “Kaylee, you were so talented. You were the second stew of the gen.” (Cat, 48:10)
  • Hosts note Jen’s hypocrisy as she bemoans the injustice but would love suck-ups herself.

5. Charter Guest Setup: Enter Johnny Damon

• Returning Guestzilla: The crew braces for notorious repeat guests Johnny and Michelle Damon.
  • “I think every single Johnny Damon charter has been a disaster if I remember correctly.” (Tom, 43:06)
  • Ronnie and Ben riff on the Damons’ love of wild partying and absurd requests (“escape room” experience, ancient Roman banquet, ‘dine in the dark’).
• More Memorable Names: The Damons’ “glamorous” charter group includes friends Janessa (“Vanessa with a J”), Addie, Shiloh, and son Hunter—fuel for the hosts’ running jokes.

Memorable Quotes & Moments (with Timestamps)

• Nathan's Overreaction:
  • "Don’t talk about Gail. I swear to God, the issue I have with Gail, just cut it out ... That's the fucking mother of my child. You'd fucking respect me when I'm saying that to you.”
    — Tom (06:14)
• Jen’s Villain Confidence:
  • “Yeah, I'm hateful. Come for me. I don't care.”
    — Brian (08:40)

    — Tom (16:16)
• Jen's Promotion Rage:
  • “Being a suck up helps. And I hate that. Because I'd rather work speak for itself. Well, then you're never going to get anywhere because you cannot. You're miserable.”
    — Brian (49:31)
• About the Damons:
  • “Every single Johnny Damon charter has been a disaster...” — Tom (43:06)
  • "They want a banquet reminiscent of ancient Rome. ... A dine-in-the-dark experience. ... After dinner, the crew will transform part of the yacht into an escape room style challenge. Oh for Christ's sake. These people are asking too much.”
    — Brian (45:08)

Today is below deck Mediterranean day featuring one of the biggest we've had on this show in a very long. I mean it's actually impressive. How'd you feel about it?

[Tom]

Yeah, I mean a real big. This guy's definitely heading right to the hall of fame. Along with that one guy who was on blow deck sailing who came on with. What was her name? Erica Rose or something like that or Emily Rose. Oh yeah, yeah. This guy is terrible. I mean we've had some bad guests. This one's already really just awful. So we are going to get into that super fun.

[Brian]

And we've done some Love Islands over there. It's also where you get ad free listening a Discord server to talk to each other about all this stuff. And our free weekly newsletter called Read what Crappens, which is where I just go off for 10 pages about all these shows again. So join us for that and.

[Cat]

Ow.

[Brian]

Oh, also, we're doing House of the Dragon this week. So that podcast is called Winter is Crappening. So go subscribe to that. We'll probably also release it on this one because we're, you know, we're like that. Okay.

[Tom]

So thematically appropriate. There's a thematic bridge to this television show that we are about to recap because as we all know, King's Landing is filmed in Dubrovnik, which is also where Below Deck Med takes place. And if you watched the House of the Dragon, you basically would. Were watching Below Deck because it was like, get the fenders out. Get the fenders out. Okay, I need to. I need you to call Distances Quiet on the radio. We're going through two mountains. So I mean, they're basically were the same show.

[Brian]

And there also are a lot of guys on that show. They're like, I'm rich. I can do whatever I want. So, yeah, I guess there are some similarities. So here we go. Season 11, episode 3, Getzilla on oh, Guest Zilla on board.

[Tom]

Guest Zilla. Yep. Godzilla. So. So we wanted to brav. Nick, Auntie W. Wait. I'm gonna do at the top of every episode. I swear to God, every time I see Dubnic, I have to sing that lyric. So it's 10:40pm which is 10 minutes after 10:30pm And Nathan and Joe are arguing by the bathroom in a restaurant because Nathan heard the word Gail and. And he's mad. He's mad that the. The word came out of Joe's mouth.

[Brian]

He's mad and he's really trying hard to get Joe just fired because he doesn't want to have to work with Joe. So he's trying to make any case he can to Sandy later. Like, oh, my God. He was talking about Gail. So I had to. We have to do something. I had to stand up to him. He was talking about Gail. Nathan continues to make an ass out of himself on this show, and it's really funny to watch. I actually really liked Nathan for a long time. I think I liked him until last year. I mean, there was the social media stuff, like the bigoted social media stuff, and then just the general treatment of Gail I didn't love. I think before that, I love Nathan. I really liked him. So it's kind of a bummer to see him go down so far. But it's also really funny at this point because, man, he is his own worst enemy.

[Tom]

Yeah, I like Nathan. I really liked him last season until. Until the social media stuff came out. Because honestly, like, I saw. I know what you're saying. You brought it up a lot about how basically Nathan was also being like a boy. And by the way, I didn't like how he ghosted Gail. I mean, I always felt like he was just massively immature, but, like, as a character on tv, I enjoyed him. But, yeah, now he's just sort of like, meh. So he is. He's puffing up his chest about Gail. Don't talk about Gail. I swear to God, the issue I have with Gail, just cut it out and just like, yo. It's like. Because I'm not gonna let you sit here and badmouth her. It's like, legend, badmother. It's like, yes, to me, I did. That's the fucking mother of my child. You'd fucking respect me when I'm saying that to you. Because guess what? She deserves all the respect in the world before I ghost her again.

[Brian]

Yeah. And Joe's just doing the smart thing. He's just doing his teeth touching, smile with wide eyes. He's like, I respect it completely. I don't know what you're talking about. I would never do anything together. I don't care. What's the problem here? He's like, don't do it. Because my next reaction isn't going to be as fucking nice, man. I swear to God.

[Tom]

Oh, you're so scary.

[Brian]

I feel like Liz from Rhode island needs to be here. Like,

[Tom]

Just don't. My next reaction isn't going to be nice, man. I swear to God.

[Cat]

But that wasn't My attention.

[Tom]

And everyone else in the group is like, what's going on in there? And Jen, of all people goes, I'm so glad we don't have any beef in the interior. Like, Jen, you are the beef. You are the full cow. Yeah, calling you a cow, I'm just making a beef analogy. But you are the full beef patty. You're two beef patties between a bun and special sauce. Okay? She's acting like everything is smooth sailing inside.

[Brian]

She's a monster. And she was on watch what happens last night. And Andy's like, okay, what is your least favorite candy in the world? And she's like, what's the girl's name? I haven't gotten to it yet.

[Tom]

Kaylee. Kayla.

[Brian]

She's like, kaylee. Kaylee is the worst candy in the world. She fucking sucks.

[Cat]

Wow.

[Brian]

Okay, what is the most disgusting booger you've ever picked?

[Cat]

Kaylee. She's much as I hate her.

[Brian]

Damn. Like, have you not read any comments about yourself this whole season? She doesn't care. And, you know, you have to give it to her for just being so confident and being a villain, you know?

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Brian]

She's like, yeah, I'm hateful. Come for me. I don't care.

[Tom]

Did she say what her parents do? Her very successful parents?

[Brian]

I didn't watch. I just read about it on Reddit. Oh, I want to know.

[Tom]

Seriously. Andy must hate the blow deck nights because, you know, people are like, I don't want to tune in to see random, like, stew. So Nathan's pissed off.

[Cat]

So she's like, whoa.

[Tom]

He's like, I'm gonna go. And so, you know, because he has. He has gonna go privilege this season because he has to actually go to a house. So Nathan and Asia just step away from the table, and Nathan's like, this guy. I'm done with them.

[Cat]

But what did he say?

[Tom]

Oh, me and Gail don't get along. Yada, yada, yada, yada. It's just like, keep your name out of your mouth. Don't try to infiltrate any of everyone's perception of her, okay?

[Cat]

And she says, oh, I agree with that. But the thing is, it's like he just got the news about his mom. Maybe he's in sort of a weird place. You're just yelling at someone who just found out that their mom has breast cancer. You know what I mean?

[Brian]

He's like that guy. I don't give a. Okay, well, okay, great, great, great move. Another great. Another great move for Nathan. So then we go back to the dinner table and Luke's asking Joe what that was about, and he's like, ah, he's overreactive, very aggressive. I just let him be.

[Tom]

So Nathan's just hugging Asia, and he's like, I can't stay out or else I'm going to end up hitting him.

[Cat]

So, okay, we'll take a breath. Don't hit the guy who just found out his mama's cancer.

[Tom]

So he's like, I don't know what Joel's problem with Gail is. I mean, can't you believe it? He said a sentence and used her name in it. That's crazy. She doesn't belong near any verb or

[Brian]

noun or subject to disrespect. Not only a woman, but the mother of my child. Oh, geez. We stop. Can we stop your feminist parade? It's so fake coming from you. Just stop it, okay? And nobody said anything. Anything about her or your child. Give me a break.

[Tom]

He just stated where he. Where he stands with her. He was actually setting it up to say. Yeah, he was giving broader context of why it was meaningful. How Nathan came and supported him earlier in the day. That's really what Joe was doing. And please don't make me defend Joe.

[Brian]

I know. It's disgusting. Like, we're having to sit here and defend Joe. For Christ's sake, Nathan, what are you doing to us?

[Tom]

I know.

[Brian]

So Luke, meanwhile, is talking to Joy or flirting with Joy, and he's like, listen, I'm not for sale, okay? She's like, I know I can have your body for free. So it is okay.

[Tom]

It's like, no, you can't. That's. That's what you think. So then Cat is talking with Cooper. Cat is the third stew, and she is giggling. Or I guess she's the fourth stew. She's the bottom of the barrel Stew, basically. She's the one who doesn't know how she be a Stew, but she has the best attitude. Yeah, she's the.

[Brian]

I don't know who out there has seen Schmigadoon, but she is definitely a character from Schmigadoon.

[Cat]

She's like, hey, we going to the meeting? There's a part. There's a big party today.

[Brian]

We're all gonna have a. She's very like musical theater in the 50s.

[Tom]

Yes.

[Brian]

I love every time she's on.

[Tom]

So she's. She's talking with Cooper, and Joe is flirting with Kaylee, and Luke and Joy are flirting, and Jen is in the corner gritting her teeth. Be like, I'm sexy. So then Joy is Like, you look like your mama. You don't have your brother or sister. And then Jen's like, wait, are you an only child? Want to flirt with me? I'm an only child also, and I'm gonna be more successful than my parents.

[Brian]

He's like, wow, you're an only child too. Do you like to share things? And she goes, I don't like to share my man. Absolutely not.

[Tom]

Can we please go out and dance? Please? Like, don't know. Like, oh, God. Don't know why I made that noise because I guess she was like. Or make some weird noise. So they're like, okay, let's go dance. And then Joe's like, you cause trouble. Can't stand. I hate. I can't stand that opening line of a flirtation, sex, romance. Like, you're gonna be a trouble. It's also a very Joe line.

[Brian]

Like, oh, you. You're gonna be trouble, aren't ya? She's like, you're gonna be in trouble. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappens commercial. God, organizing finances is so stressful. It makes me crazy. I've gotten to the point where I literally avoid looking at my bank account because it just freaks me out.

[Tom]

Yeah, it's just a language I don't speak or understand. I see. I see numbers and dollar signs and whatever, and I just. I just want to hide in a little cave somewhere.

[Brian]

[Brian]

[e-mail] Krappins that's RocketMoney.com Krabins RocketMoney.com Krabins your outdoor space should feel like you. I have this gigantic patio deck thing that I wanted to use for parties and I could just not find any fashionable patio furniture. I needed A lot. And I needed it to go together. I needed different pieces that all kind of looked the same. I was able to go on Wayfair and search for exactly what I needed. Different brands, different, different things all coming together in one style. It was so easy to do it, and it looks great.

[Tom]

I can confirm that his outdoor area looks great. And the thing is that you can get more than just seating. You can get grills, major appliances, storage, patio lighting, rugs, decorations. Wayfair really is your one stop shop for home.

[Brian]

And the best thing about this place, well, not the best. One of the best is that you don't even have to put this stuff together. You can hire somebody from Wayfair to come put it over, put it all together for you, you know, and that's the best part, because if I put it together, it's rickety. It's falling apart no matter where it's from. I just don't have that skill. But they do.

[Tom]

Yeah. That is actually probably the part of Wayfair that I just tell my friends about. Just unsolicitedly. I just will say, like, not only can you order the stuff, someone else can put it together for you. Patio season is here, and these deals won't last. Head to Wayfair.com right now and get your outdoor space ready for way less. That's W a Y F a I r dot com.

[Cat]

Wayfair Every style, every home.

[Brian]

So she says, the reason I got this tattoo that says liability is because every time I went to, like a new country and meant new people, they'd be like, you're a bit of a liability, aren't you? And I thought people were pranking me at a certain point. And then I realized, it's just me. I'm the problem. It's me. I'm only a liability on the nights out. I hope.

[Tom]

Oh, my God, I am so embarrassed for her. I mean, liability. Someone has finally trumped Ryan, Tamara's son Ryan, for getting nugget in his lips. Because now she has liability, a tattoo of liability in her, inside of her lip. First of all, I'm like, that's a, like, I, I get that you're maybe trying to own a joke, but, like, I, I, you don't have to do that. B, do you want insurance? Because this is going to be an issue. Those actuaries are not known for their humor. Okay? They're gonna be like, well, she literally has liability branded on her. I don't think we can give her this, this policy in actuary.

[Brian]

I like that you're thinking about the actuarial effects. I have to say it's a very long word for a tattoo on the inside of your lip. It's very long. I mean, tattoo like, bye, you know, or I don't know, something shorter. It just. It doesn't even have to make sense. Just is, you know, or I. Something short or a heart.

[Tom]

Just put a heart if you got it. I think I resent people who tattoo things on the inside of their lip because I feel like if you tattoo some. A word or an image or anything on the inside of your lip, that means that you live in canker sore privilege. That means that you rarely, if ever, get canker sores. Because if you get canker sores a decent amount like I do, then you know how much that hurts. And you would never voluntarily add extra canker sore, like, pain to your mouth, right?

[Brian]

Yeah, I mean, I guess. Why would. Why would you do that? I mean, I don't get canker sores, but I do eat tortilla chips sometimes, and they rip my mouth a lot, so I get that kind of pain. I wouldn't do that on purpose, except that I do. But, I mean, you get a tortilla chip, what do you get putting, you know, at least I get something from it. What do you get from putting? Liability.

[Tom]

You just get an embarrassing tattoo that, yes, you could hide it from people the rest of your life, but, like, you're gonna have to explain that every time you go to the dentist, anytime you make out with someone in a weird way, I suppose. And just like the rest of your life, like, I'm just, like, mortified for her that she got this tattoo. And I'm also, like, sad for her because it does come from a place of, like, very low self esteem. Right. Like, where people have, like, basically shot on her so much that she's like, thinking, oh, I'm gonna own it and make it a part of me, and now it's a joke. And now I've defended myself against this, and I'm like, that just sucks.

[Brian]

I mean, I don't know about the low self esteem. I. I just. I don't understand why everywhere she goes, people call her a liability. I mean, this is the Tracy Flick character who wants to do everything right and be perfect. So I don't. Who's calling you a liability? And why are they saying that in so many countries?

[Tom]

I don't understand. Last time I checked, the first time Sandy ever crashed into a dock was when this girl was on board. So, I mean, you know, well, that's true to consider.

[Brian]

I mean, if it was Captain Jason, he was like, I got a tattoo only inside of my lip. Liability. Okay, I would get that, but what is this? What has this girl done, you know?

[Tom]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Brian]

I don't get it. But we're talking about it, which is, I guess, what you want when you're like, look, I have a tattoo that says liability in my inner lips. So now she's suddenly, I guess she's basically telling us, like, after dark, I'm not a kitten, watch out. So she's like, I promise I'm not that bad. Don't lie. This reaction is making it worse. Come on. He's like, no, it's fantastic. It is fantastic.

[Tom]

So Nathan's alone in a van going off to his home, and he's talking to himself. He's like, don't talk about her on the table like a coward. Okay, you know what? Settle down. Just put on some easy listening and make your way to your little box house.

[Brian]

He's fucked up so much that he just wants to make himself look like a hero. He wants to go home and be like, gail, he came for you and I stood for ya gal.

[Tom]

But he's also like. He's also like one of those annoying dads who's like, hey, Nathan, thinking about going to the bar to maybe watch the game. You want to come? He's like, no, bro, you're fucking kidding me. I'm a dad now. What's. What's wrong with you? Like, he's one of those people that like, throws the dad thing in your face and then actually gets mad at you. You know, I. I get that vibe from him. Very distant.

[Brian]

I'm a dad. You wouldn't understand it as a non dad.

[Tom]

What the is wrong with you? Why would you ask me to do that? You know what I have on my plate? I'm a dad now. Grow up. Like, what? I just want to know if you wanted to come to the game.

[Brian]

So they go out to this. Sorry, say it again. You have a lot of bad trauma from your promise.

[Tom]

Yeah, I think just. Well, I think just in general, like, gays. Gays, I think, are less likely to have kids. And so we encounter this sort of behavior with people a lot more over the years, you know, where our friends

[Brian]

have parents, our friends have kids, and then they're like, see ya. Sorry, but I have kids now. So then we go to some castle looking thing where everybody goes to club and it's the, you know, it's the below deck. Like, this is a show about boating, but also, who's gonna bang. So we get this. Everybody flirting with each other and trying each other out. And we juxtapose that with Nathan and Gail just sitting with their baby, and she's doing that thing where she's like, say hi to daddy. You know, like, not really talking to him, but kind of telling the baby to talk to him.

[Tom]

What a stupid.

[Brian]

That's my. No, that's my least favorite thing, though,

[Tom]

when people are like.

[Brian]

When you haven't seen someone a long time, and they're like,

[Tom]

I know.

[Cat]

Today is Ronnie hungry.

[Brian]

Oh, my God. Give me a drink. Okay, Ronnie, say hello. Tell your ba. Tell your from. Tell your parent that Rondell needs a drink.

[Tom]

Okay. Maybe this is the first time I've been away from Gail and my son since he's been born. And it's tough because in the back of your mind, you want to text and you want to call all the time, but I have to try to focus solely on work to be able to spend one night with him. That just recenters me, and it humbles me. So. Okay.

[Cat]

Gail's like, you look like you're back. What's going on? You look like you're about to vomit at something and you're trying to hold it with all your power.

[Tom]

He's like, ah, I'm pissed off. We're at dinner, and I hear Joe say, oh, me and Gail have our problems.

[Cat]

She's like, he said that?

[Tom]

He's like, yeah, I'm not gonna stand for it. And I thought she was gonna say, listen, like, it's okay. He's allowed to mention my name.

[Cat]

But she's like, I'm sorry that you're in deposition. He's never been able to articulate what his problems are with me.

[Brian]

Yeah. And she's like, he disrespected me. He disrespected literally every girl in his week. He has no moral grounds. It was just a bit of a shock when I found out he was here again. I mean, us, too, but Nathan's still going too far. And so she's saying, you know, I don't want Nathan to be stuck having this bad season because of bad blood between me and Joe. And it makes me nervous that he has to be on a boat with him for six weeks. I'm just questioning if being here is the right decision. Nathan is the father of my child, and I want to protect my family.

[Tom]

Not really. See, I don't think the family's under threat, but that's okay.

[Brian]

Yeah. You're working with someone. You're working with someone I don't like. My God.

[Cat]

Family's in danger.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Brian]

You guys are giving too much credit, okay? He's just some douchebag at work.

[Tom]

Yeah. He just wants to get it in. So back to Club Revelin, where they're all reveling around. Cooper and Cat are flirting, and Cooper's

[Cat]

like, you're grabbing my titties.

[Tom]

And then Joe's dancing with Kaylee, and he's like, not only do I find you sexually attractive. That's the obvious. I generally find you so funny. So he's already, like, doing. Laying down the lines that we've seen a million times.

[Brian]

Yes. It's not your looks, really. It's your heart. It's your hilarious, hilarious heart. You can spell such big words on your hip. And he's like, this night has been so mentally challenging. So he's like, yeah, I got the worst night of my life or the worst news of my entire Nathan on my back. I just need a release and distract myself from what's going on. And Kaylee, that's a pretty good distraction.

[Tom]

So then Asia Text checks in on Nathan via text. Just be like, let me know if you're okay. You know, she's being very nice. And then Luke is flirting with Joy, and she's like, it's too much for me. You know, this is like all this, like, Jen, like, too much, but I'm really happy that you've come to see me. Eh? And he's like, I just want some steak. Do you have. Did you bring a steak to the club by any chance?

[Brian]

And Joe's not loving this, that he's flirting with everybody, you know, or he's flirting with Jen and her at the same time. And she's like, it's too much for me. So Nathan. Nathan's texting back that Gail is stressing, and he's just trying to reassure her that everything will work out. Yeah, but you're the one stressing her out.

[Tom]

Yeah. You came home and acted like Joe was going to destroy the family, and now she's stressed out. Like, it's like, you're the one who did this.

[Brian]

Yeah, she doesn't need to be bothered with your petty drama, dude. Geez. So then Cooper's. Cooper is saying, you know, Jen and Sheffy are both interested in you. And he's like, well, it's a difficult dilemma because Jen's Horton and full of lust and chefies. You know, I could go home with. With Sheffy I could take her home. So typical. Am I. Here we go.

[Tom]

A dilemma that no one in the audience really cares about. It's like, wow, what will this very hot guy do? Will he go with one hot girl or a different hot girl? Oh, God, life is tough. So Joe is. Asia's checking on Joe. And Joe's like, asia, me and Nathan are never going to be the same. You know that, don't you?

[Cat]

She's like, don't worry about it.

[Tom]

He's like, I'm not worrying. I know why. I know how. He's like, I know how he. How to manage it.

[Cat]

Very stubborn. And I'll always listen to each side, and we're a team. And I love you. And by I love you, I just want to tolerate you till I'm done with yet another wretched season.

[Brian]

Yeah. So she's saying, you know, this sucks because they hate each other, but, you know, they've got to keep it together

[Cat]

for the sake of the boat, you guys.

[Brian]

So then we go back to the boat. There's a girl's van and a boy's van, and Asia's asking Joy for a debrief. And while she's asking the girls for a debrief, and Jen's like, obviously, Luke is my number one interest. And Joy's like, oh, I can tell.

[Tom]

And the guys are just playing around, just like, you know, horse playing, etc. And Cat announces, guys, I want a house full of cats. So everyone gets back on the boat. Just. Yeah, just. Just a little insight into her life.

[Brian]

Why are we talking about men? I want cats. Give me the cats. So then we go back to Akira 1, and Joy and Luke are in the galley, and he's like, hey, can we go chill in your cabin? She's like, no, we are not going to chill in my cabin. Okay. Sorry, my friend. She gets, like, a little pasta and walks off. He's like, no worries. Ooh. You know, that's. That's great. But now he's gonna bang Jen. I mean, we've seen these shows a million times. He's gonna take the easiest route, and good for you for not being it, you know?

[Tom]

Yeah, well, I mean, and he will. He can go bang Jen, and then he will no longer have free steak in the kitchen. So, you know, every action has a reaction. Asia is doing her traditional thing of eating noodles or something from a bowl in her bed. And then Kaylee is gonna hang out with Joe. And Asia's, like, more advice to you

[Cat]

would be if you ever think it's More than a fling. It's not, so be careful.

[Tom]

And she's like, well, not a single part of me wants to be in a relationship. I'm like, you100 will want to be in a relationship. And we've been down this path so many times with Joe and other boys of the below deck, like, universe, please, please spare us this very annoying storyline that's about to unfold.

[Brian]

But I'm really hoping it's true. I'm like, I'm rooting for you, Cat. Come on. I'm rooting for you to be. Or Kaylee, I'm really rooting for you to be telling the truth.

[Tom]

And she's like, remember, by the way, there, remember that? That was that season of blow deck sailing. I think it was the final one where there was a girl who truly didn't want anything deep from Gary. And he, like, couldn't handle it that he couldn't kind of get that kind of fawning that he normally gets. He was like, but you don't want to have something really? You don't have a relationship with me. And she was like, no.

[Cat]

I feel so used.

[Brian]

So Kaylee's like, I'm not for anything serious. I'm. I'm on my travel bag and my. I'm on my travel bug. My single era. My single girl era. What the is wrong with me? And I'm enjoying being independent, slowly figuring out who I am. You know why? Every tattoo on the inside of my lip with a really big word. So let's just have some fun together

[Tom]

figuring out who you are. I thought you already knew who you were.

[Cat]

Lawyer be.

[Tom]

So Joe and Kaylee are on the sund deck, and he's like, just light

[Cat]

up for a bit. It's freezing.

[Tom]

And then Cooper is. He's got, like, a little mask on, you know, downstairs. And so Cat's like, like, why do you have a face mask on? Do you know how tempting that would be if you had a bunch of cats around here? They'd just be nibbling at it. He's like, well, why not? She's like, well, I want to sit somewhere, but I, like, don't know where to sit, so can I sit by you and your crazy masked face right now? Oh, my God.

[Cat]

Thanks. I'm trying to hold back my smile because I want to get the full effect of the mask. Okay.

[Brian]

And then we go to the sun deck with Joe and Kaylee flirting, and he's like, ah, I like this, but we've got to make it work. Throughout the whole season she's like, yeah, I don't want anything serious. Do you want anything serious? And he goes, oh, cold. Thank you. Thank you, God. Thank you so much.

[Tom]

So Cat and Cooper taking selfies and everything and saying how they're cute. And Cat announces that she definitely likes Cooper because he makes her giggle like a little girl again. She's like, I'm just like. I don't know. I'm just, like, grinning just like a little girl. I'm like, you're, like 2 years old. I mean, like, you're. It's just funny to me when people who are, like, 21 are like, I just feel so young again.

[Brian]

They're a cute couple, though, because they're both goofballs, I think.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Brian]

And she's like, yeah, you got a face mask on. So I think they're gonna do really well together. Fingers crossed for those kids.

[Tom]

I want to really rooten. Rooting and tutin.

[Cat]

I want to kiss you so bad. But I haven't said it.

[Tom]

I'm like, you literally just said it. He's like. So then they make out. She's like, me, too. And so they. He's like, let's go to bed. And she's like, nothing serious. Rot.

[Cat]

Liability.

[Tom]

He's like, no, nothing serious. No seriousness.

[Brian]

Yeah. Meanwhile, Cooper's going to bed, and he shares with Joe. And he's like, joe is up to something. We got to Joe and Kaylee going into their separate cabins, which, you know, we're surprised by because I thought they just said, nothing serious. Let's bang. But, you know.

[Tom]

Yeah, I thought they're gonna go bang.

[Brian]

Yeah. So next morning, 7am Six hours before charter. Super weird, because this is the second. Second time stamp we've had on this show. That's like a normal time. Like, it's not 701 time. You know, it has me worried.

[Tom]

Yeah, it's. It's disconcerting that things are happening on the top of the hour. And exactly at the top of the hour, it doesn't feel right or normal,

[Brian]

you know, I feel like I'm being lied to. So Jen. Jen is talking to Cat, and Cat's like, oh, I feel like I slept. I feel like I only slept 10 minutes. Like, what happened? And then we cut to Joy in the galley, and she's talking to herself, and she's like, let us do something with this little moped. Talking to a chicken, I think.

[Tom]

Yeah. A lot of details in this episode. So then Sandy is on the bridge. There's a lot of things that go nowhere. Sandy's on the bridge and she's just like, hey, she's touching her instruments. She goes, what's happening there? We don't know. And we don't know what she's doing, but maybe she's trying to get that seat to work again.

[Brian]

Oh.

[Tom]

Recline function activate. Whoa. Okay, I'm upside down.

[Brian]

Oh, gosh. Buttons. So it's just checking in with Kaylee.

[Cat]

She's like, what went on?

[Brian]

Well, I was just making out with him last night. That's hilarious.

[Cat]

I'm like, no, I want you go

[Brian]

and Asia talking to. I keep forgetting this girl's name, Kaylee. And I keep seeing her over and over. It's too much. Kaylee Cat. Cat, Kaylee. Kaylee cat. Kaylee Cat. Kaylee cat. Hello, my little Kaylee cat. So she's saying, I don't want it to be anything more. I'm the girl version of him.

[Cat]

She's like, oh, well, I've heard that before too. So just don't get hurt, okay? I've been on this show, I've seen this show. Been there, done that. Please just stick to your word. I can't take it.

[Tom]

There's nothing that makes me think that Kaylee is the girl version of Joe. There's like just absolutely nothing that she's presented so far that makes me think that she will just treat this relationship in a cold, clinical way purely for physical satisfaction. So the fact that she's sitting here and trying to present herself like that to me is hilarious.

[Brian]

Here comes one right now.

[Tom]

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. You can have the best grill setup in the world, but if what you're cooking isn't great, it shows.

[Tom]

Don't let me down. So now I believe that you'll get emotionally attached. Oh, not emotionally attached. No, I don't see it.

[Brian]

No, I'm gonna. I'm gonna believe it. I believe it. Okay, so now we go to the Mess. And Luke is hugging Jen and they're asking where Nathan is, but of course he's got a baby. He doesn't have to be here, but they are picking up charters today, and so it's time to clean everybody.

[Cat]

Yeah.

[Brian]

And Sandy checks in with Joy. Takes a little bite. Check. That is very good. Do you know what those buttons do upstairs? Have you seen them? Come up and help me. I'm afraid to touch.

[Tom]

Unbelievable.

[Cat]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Last time I touched him, I was upside down for three hours.

[Tom]

It's funny that they call them instruments because last time I checked, I didn't hear a symphony playing. Sorry, we just called it. That's. That's called Beelhaus humor.

[Brian]

So now Nathan comes back to the boat and he sees Joe. And Nathan's like, let me get changed quickly and we'll have a chat. I was like, oh, God, not another one. Please don't tell somebody off again for no reason. But he doesn't. He actually shocks me and he meets up with Joe and he's like, you know, this can't continue the way it is. And about last night, I don't appreciate Gail's name being brought up.

[Cat]

Up.

[Brian]

And he's like, well, it won't happen again. Oh, thanks. But I'm not gonna let our issue affect our team. It's on a personal note, and I'm sorry. Honestly, I promise I won't react like that again. Let's just be civil, okay?

[Tom]

Yeah. It was just a roller coaster of emotions yesterday because, like, you know, don't want to actually say it, but you can see by my ellipsis, I'm saying my mom was diagnosed with cancer and you were being a real dick to me. But anyway, thanks for coming to talk to me.

[Cat]

Yeah.

[Brian]

And he's like, you've actually been super on deck, man. I'm actually really happy with your work. And the system in place is, listen to the Boston. So no stepping on toes and let's have a good season. Sorry, you already ruined that. He is going to be coming for. He was already going to be coming for you every two seconds, but he's going to be coming for you.

[Tom]

You'll be undermining like crazy. He's like, I'm actually surprised at how this conversation went. Like, if we can stay like this and stop seeing red all the time, that's hopefully. So Nathan's like, yeah, that's two stubborn Irish. And the Liverpool. He's like, yeah. So now Kaylee's checking in on Luke to see how the deck is going, and he Says it's good. And she's like, oh, that's so good. You know, Aisha has such a good energy. The girls are just like. They're so honored as well, because, like, I'm not that experienced. Isn't that, like, wild how inexperienced I am? She's just trying to, like. Like, this is like some faux humble that she's doing right now. Knowing that she's, like, quietly climbing the ladder, you know, behind the scenes.

[Brian]

It's like someone coming and playing a brilliant piano piece and then being like, oh, my God, I barely practice.

[Cat]

It's crazy.

[Brian]

He's like, really? It's like, yeah. I mean, I was so still. So you do learn a lot, obviously. You know, on paper, it doesn't look like I've done much yachting. This is the first time I've worked on a boat this big. But I've done hospitality since I was literally 17. So maybe.

[Cat]

Maybe I am better than I thought I was.

[Tom]

You know what else is on paper? A note from Jen's parents saying, we like you better. I can't believe that. That's so nice of him to say that to me.

[Brian]

So Sandy is telling Nathan her number one thing. You know, we all know Sandy's thing. Get the water toys out. That's what I want to see. Okay, we. We pull up somewhere. Water toys. Get them out there. Okay. Don't make me reverse hug you. What's a reverse hug? You don't want to find out.

[Tom]

Just put out all the toys so that way they can be used for 10 minutes. Okay, go. And then Jen and Cat are inside guest cabins, and Cat is like, this

[Cat]

is the way you actually tuck in sheets or whatever.

[Tom]

She's like. She's like hanging a sheet from a picture frame. Jen's like, no tuck and then fold. Idiot. I mean, I've been. I've been doing this since I was, like, 19. I became a Chief Stew, like, when I was, like, 20 years old. And the fact that I can even say I've been a chief Stew already is, like, absolutely insane. Pause for applause and admiration. Yeah. I really have that eye for detail that other girls don't seem to have, so I definitely feel like I should be a shoo in for seconds, too.

[Cat]

Can you please meet me in the dining room for a Frenchie meeting?

[Brian]

So we have our separate prep sheet meetings where Sandy's with the deck crew and H's with the. The other crew. And so now the client guys. I've had him twice. Okay? It's Johnny Damon and his wife Michelle, Here they come, guys. Jones, like, he's a very famous baseball player. Pretty famous. Probably knows my hospital corners. Just saying, pretty famous, too. Ask famous people. They know how to sleep in a bed.

[Tom]

So, yeah, by the way, I think every single Johnny Damon charter has been a disaster, if I remember correctly. So Asia's like, oh, yeah, they're a good time.

[Cat]

Good time if you like drunk people who be off the side of a boat.

[Brian]

So. Well, you know, Johnny and Michelle Damon are at the helm of this lively and glamorous charter. They're eager to play with the water toys. Are the water toys out yet?

[Tom]

Get the water toys out that, you

[Brian]

know, when Johnny Damon. I wish I was there when he was born so I could say, Johnny Damon, come out. Come out towards the water toys. We're waiting for you. Come on. Little baby on a jet ski. He deserved that. We're gonna show him better.

[Tom]

Yeah. We're gonna show him the real way to be on a yacht.

[Cat]

Okay. Where they're joined by their friend Janessa. Just let you think about that.

[Tom]

That's.

[Cat]

Her name is Vanessa, but with a J. It's like someone cut off a part of the V and then rounded off the bottom of it. If you think about. Okay, I'm losing the audience. And also the globetrotting boyfriend, Mark, and

[Brian]

also a terrifying man named Joseph and his girlfriend, Addie. Addie.

[Tom]

More like subtracty. You'll see why in a moment.

[Brian]

He actually doesn't really know her name, but he found her from an Addie, so there you go.

[Cat]

Well, plus Michelle's best friend, Shiloh.

[Tom]

All these names. Shayla, Addie, Janessa. I can't. Oh, and also her entrepreneur son Hunter, named after the TV show, of course. So Cat's like, oh, well, God, I mean, who isn't a Fred Dryer fan fan, right? Cat's like, well, for their first dinner on board, they want an extravagant banquet reminiscent of ancient Rome. Okay. And Asia says that they want captain to join them for dinner, and then there's gonna be a buffet, and then the next day, they want to do a dine in the dark experience, which should be that. I mean, at least they don't have to worry about presentation, right? For the food. Yeah.

[Brian]

They want it to be pitch black in there, and there's, like, eating in the dark. It's like swinger move. No. So weird. And after dinner, the crew will transform part of the yacht into a thrilling escape room style challenge. Oh, for Christ's sake. These people are asking too much.

[Tom]

Escape room challenge. What the hell? Oh, God. This is producer interference. I don't like it.

[Brian]

And of course, Jen's like, I actually did this on a previous. Previous boat, so I already know how to do this. I've been doing Escape Room since I was like, 12.

[Tom]

Yeah, it was basically like I just walk out of my bedroom and I'd be like, I escaped. I'm gonna be a purser. Suck it, mom and dad.

[Brian]

Well, I'm excited to go back and research this. I'll do that. I'll do that. It's like, I've already done it. I've already done Escape Room, so, I mean, I'm pretty sure I should be in charge of the escape room, right? Okay.

[Cat]

Okay.

[Brian]

Okay.

[Tom]

Yeah, I'm like a big escape room queen. So then they've got an hour, got one hour till the. The crew arrives and Joy's making a chickpea tortilla elsewhere. And then Nathan and Cooper are talking, and Nathan's like, when it comes down to it, docking is two lines. It's just something about docking and make it easy.

[Cat]

Yeah. You, you're so good. You really direct stuff.

[Tom]

Good. You make me excited to learn.

[Brian]

You're a good dad. You're gonn good. Real good dad. It's like, oh, thank you. Thank you so much.

[Cat]

So then we just want deck Daddy. Yeah, can't just want my dad, Daddy. All right, let's have all the ladies together. I just wanted to say to you guys, thank you so much for Charter One. I am blown away by all of your work. And today I am going to award second Stew to the person who has been doing this so hard for so long. And I guarantee this woman is already better than both of her parents combined. And her name is Kaylee.

[Brian]

Jen's like, what?

[Cat]

And Kaylee, this year we're doing something a little bit different. We're going to give you a complimentary purse for your efforts. So you're something of a purser if you think about it. Kylie also carries the best purse, so we're gonna all call a person. It's so cute when Kaylee smiles because she sort of puts her lips together like that. So we're gonna call her the person. Kayleigh, you're so great. Oh, hold on. I'm getting a phone call. Kaylee, it's your not parents, but it's Jen's parents saying, okay, what do they have to say?

[Tom]

Kaylee, we are so proud of you. We never met you, but Asia sent us a picture of you pursing your lips while holding a purse. And you really are the best person we've met. In fact, we've actually decided both to just give up our jobs because we want you to be the breadwinners for us. Thank you.

[Cat]

Thank you for calling. So I just want to make it clear, Kaylee, you were so talented. You would be. You were the second stew of the gen. All right. You were the best of a gin.

[Wayfair Announcer]

Right?

[Tom]

So Kayla's like, oh, my.

[Brian]

Not.

[Cat]

Oh, my God.

[Tom]

I'm not sure if I'm even right. The right choice for this. Jen already hates me. I'm like myself.

[Cat]

I'm liability.

[Brian]

What the.

[Tom]

Dude, Jen's all upset.

[Cat]

Well, something I've learned in my charter is you can't always look to the resume who just to decide things. Jen might have more experience on paper, but Kaylee is the drive and determination to make Jen have a nervous breakdown on the boat. And I'm really here to get raiding. So this is gonna be good. Yeah. Because I realized if someone else peeps in the shower, it'll be more fun. If Jen is the one who has to clean it up than Keely. Here's hoping for a waffle stomp.

[Tom]

Well, let me fold this. I need something to do with my hands or else I'm gonna just be like. Jen goes into rage folding. So Cat is like, here, I can help us up. No, no, no. The folding process has begun. Get away from me. So she does not want to be touched or talked to. And she's really, really, really mad.

[Brian]

Yeah. So Kat congratulates her and Kaylee's like, oh, thank you. I was just gonna grab my bed. But you know what I'll do when it's less crowded, I guess because she can see that Jen wants to kill her. And Jen's just kind of mumbling in fury to catch like, unfortunately, in this industry, being a suck up helps. And I' that because I'd rather work speak for itself. Well, then you're never going to get anywhere because you cannot. You're miserable. No one is going to hire. No one is going to get. You're not. You're not going to get anywhere being sm.

[Tom]

You're not going to get anywhere. And don't act like if your chiefs do, you wouldn't love the students that are sucking up to you. You know that Jen is probably just laps up anyone who sucks up to her. So she's all of a sudden being like. The fact that anyone have to suck up to get ahead is just beneath me. It's just an indignation. Shut up.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Tom]

So Jen is like, I mean, you're my favorite, by the way. You're my favorite, but shut up. Cat is. Cat's like, well, just keep a good attitude. You never know what will happen. It's like, well, why are you trying to tuck that sheet into a lamp? Get out of my face. So, and Cat tells us, I think

[Brian]

Kaylee's actual very capable of being second stew. So I don't really agree with Jen's opinions, but yikes. I mean, me and Jen share a room, and she's really great and everything, but, like, with Jen, there's, like, a lack of respect, and, I mean, she's got a lot of learning to do. Also, she's terrifying.

[Cat]

Help.

[Brian]

Please help.

[Tom]

Well, you know what, Captain? Sandy knew my name before her, so that's all that. Well, to be fair, Jen, I, I, I, I didn't really know your name. I just, I just assumed. I always just assume every new stew is called Jen. And then I go from there, just

[Brian]

call him out, Jen, you know? So then we go to the galley, Luke and Joy, and he's like, so literally, salute. She's like, salute. Can you want some? Oh, look at this. It is melon sweet, like you. And she gives him some food, and he's like, oh, yeah, thank you, love. Oh, this guy, he's gonna get in a lot of trouble. He's playing. Playing both sides of the fence. Okay, One side of the fence, there's a knife. Yeah, actually, probably both sides of the fence has a knife.

[Tom]

Let's be honest, because the other side is just true. He really is going for, like, the two scariest women on the back. The, like, the ones who I think will definitely inflict bodily harm on him. And as they should, by the way. It's the scariness that I support.

[Brian]

Well, the thing is, Joy isn't scary at all yet. We're just all waiting because it's a French chef. So we're like, when is it coming? Everybody is waiting. But of course, the last French chef wasn't scary either. That was that sweet little Anthony guy.

[Tom]

But Joy smiles a lot in a. In a way that feels. Feels like she's gonna turn in a way that's gonna be magnificent. I hope so. And the way she, like, sort of glosses over details about her ex, like, well, he did something I did not like, so I left. I'm like, he's dead somewhere, right? He's been. He's been chopped up in the bottom of, you know, the Mediterranean somewhere.

[Brian]

I left him dead in the desert.
