Hello, and welcome to Watch What Crap Ends, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. I'm Ben Mandelker, and joining me today is the glorious and masterful Ronnie Karam. Hi, Ronnie. How's it going?

2:37Ronnie Karam: Well, hello. Hello.

2:41Ben Mandelker: How are you faring on this Tuesday? Good, Ben. How's everything going with you, babe? It's fabulous. We had a very fun morning.

3:37Ronnie Karam: Wow, what a sad group of gay porn stars. I mean, they cut their entire trip into a montage.

3:45Ben Mandelker: Yeah, yeah, that's sad. I'm like, how sad that you guys are too nice and well-adjusted to make drama.

3:57Ronnie Karam: I guess so, because that whole thing was just cut down and over. That was crazy. So we start with Kaio sitting everybody down. And he's like, okay, well, the captain pulled me into the bridge. And he asked me if I'm up for it. And, you know, you guys are up for it. And I supported us because, honestly, I think I'm up for it. But he made a good point. We've got to get better. We've got to get better, you guys. We're not done. We'll finish later. But here's my basic point.

4:28Ben Mandelker: Get better. And then he walks away. And Kyle's like, don't come here and bitch and moan at us. Like we're working our asses off. This is your fault, mate. It's not our fault. Because Kyle's the one who's always like going downstairs to have like a break. This is like the telltale sign of a bad bosun. Just how they make, when they want to make a stew look like, a chief stew look like she's doing a bad job. They just show her smoking off on the bow somewhere. The old Hannah edit. They just show them eating. Yeah, the Hannah edit. The bosun, the bosun version is them downstairs eating like salad or something.

4:59Ben Mandelker: Just like chowing down.

5:00Ronnie Karam: Although they really do that with Jess. I feel like every time they show us Jess, she's eating something downstairs. She is. They show her eating in every other scene. And Jess was really, Jess is the one who's like, on my last boat, I never got a break. Okay, so on this one, do you get 90? I mean, do you get 90 a day? Like, what the hell? Why are you always eating down there?

5:18Ben Mandelker: They always like pan over to her. Like a whole scene will unfold. And then the camera will pan over and she's just sitting there eating like a bowl of cereal. And like, wait, she was here this whole time?

5:26Ronnie Karam: You've got a Jess reaction for every scene in The Mess because she's always there. At least they make it look like she's always there. So Kyle's like, oh, the thing is he didn't call for us to come to the bridge, did he? He only called for Kyle. So that's all I'll say. That's all I'll say about it. So now Carrie is checking on Selene. And he's like, how are you finding everything? She's like, oh, you know, I find things. I lose things. That's how it goes. You know, I try to follow everyone. You know, here's what they say. Silence, silence. Listen to me. So I'm silent, you know. But this is hard.

5:58Ronnie Karam: they're so stupid these people i own a sheet don't i own a sheet what do i do let me tell you one thing i don't do poop in the toilet and he's like you are so goddamn charming god i really think all

6:10Ben Mandelker: my previous experience will help me because i was bartender in five-star hotel in french riviera i was beautician i was masseuse i was waxer i used to wax a lot of genital parts all day long be like silence listen you know you wax penis you know i have so many memories in my hand i'm like Yeah, I'm not really sure how the waxing of people's penises is going to help you make a bed better. But I guess there's something. I mean, I can understand the turndown part of it because you sort of are putting things there and pulling them off. But other than that, I'm not really sure how this practically affects your job.

6:42Ronnie Karam: It's understandable why she's OK with a wrinkly bed.

6:48Ronnie Karam: So then Solene drops a glass in the pantry. She's like, I want to cry, but this is too hard. So I won't do it. so Fraser is complimenting Anthony on his amazing charcuterie boards and of course you know Anthony's like okay you know we do cheese boards for dinner I hope he doesn't hate me I hope he isn't trying to ruin my life by telling me he likes his charcuterie I know he's spiraling

7:14Ben Mandelker: but Fraser's like laying it on thick he's like Anthony you are so talented with these boards the way you put three pieces of prosciutto on a piece of wood and then added a raspberry in the side it is the work of a genius dare i say a madman a mad genius i mean like i was like it's just a charcuterie board okay yeah so then we see yeah let's let's settle down i feel like fraser is like a fraser is like a little on the season in a way that i'm really not enjoying i feel like all of his um interviews feel very like affected and rehearsed and it's just like i don't know it's like not quite landing for me anymore he

7:54Ronnie Karam: adjusts every season for for the audience reaction and i think last and the thing is it takes him half a season to really become the bitch we need him to be yeah on this show it takes him a while to drop the act he's got to get like super stressed and super you know ruffled for it to really come

8:13Ben Mandelker: out he almost feels like he's like on the food network or something he's doing like food network style, you know, interviews where he's like, today we're going to do something absolutely wild, so wild but it'll be more wild than I wish I could ever say I was. It's just sort of like these generic sort of patter moments and I just want better for him because I know he can do better.

8:32Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So then Rainbow is like, um, Celine, will you please put these things over there? She goes, exactly. She's like, um, you know, the main salon, remember, you've been shown it about three or four times where it goes. And she's like, okay, please. Okay, okay, please. Oh, my God. I'm not the children. And she's like, yeah, thank you. Rainbow's always got such a stick up her butt. My God. I know. I mean, I get working with Solaine is not easy, but Rainbow kind of sucks, too. Although I'm loving watching Rainbow slowly, slow. Well, not even slowly. I mean, it's only episode four, and she's already had a breakdown.

9:10Ronnie Karam: So I'm kind of enjoying the Rainbow train, but she's the day.

9:15Ben Mandelker: Don't forget. Don't forget, she was abandoned on an island to destroy her sister before her father picked her up in an hour. Oh, yeah. That kind of informs me what she does.

9:26Ronnie Karam: Literally taken to an island and dropped off to fight to the death.

9:31Ben Mandelker: In the middle of a lake in Holland. So now... Ring poem at me. Poem at me. Don't poem at me. So they're going to be going on to a kayak. The guests will be going on a kayak excursion later. and Fraser's asking Celine if she wants to go on the kayak and he's like, go in Rashi. She's like, what is Rashi? No, the one you swim in. Oh, I'm going to find that? I don't really understand this interaction but she's going to be going on the kayak.

10:02Ronnie Karam: I don't want to be Rashi. I avoid so much to being Rashi. Now you're telling me you have to be Rashi? It's a boat. Okay, I do. Where is it? You tell me. I do it. You say peace. I say okay.

10:14Ben Mandelker: and then it just cuts to her just like once again just like plummeting down the staircase

10:21Ronnie Karam: what is she doing on that staircase so now rainbow calls her friend and she's like oh my god i had a panic attack this is like literally it's like a lot i like came back out there was like stuff on a table do you know do you know how hard this is i mean i took it out on the vacuum cleaner it was rough i ended up going to an island with the vacuum cleaner and just banging it against the tree so i'm basically sweeping with the palm tree now which is rough it's hard it is hard

10:49Ben Mandelker: first rule of fight island club don't talk about fight island club click the person just hangs up um so curry is talking to a cow and he's like well nice work so i'm gonna take some pressure off of you and i'm gonna take the guests out tonight because the last thing that i want is for your hair to obstruct their view the fish in the waters are you okay with that ko he's like oh you're sure he's like yes also i don't want you sinking the boats you know kyo had a tough day and i feel compassion for that and i've had some great mentors and he's shown me the right way and i want to be there so i can support him to succeed succeed in adventure and that's what i

11:26Ronnie Karam: want for him to do yeah so he's gonna try and work with weird al get some stuff moving so then fraser puts barbara on service and she doesn't even have to do housekeeping she's like yes So now, Kerry is talking to Anthony and he's like, how are you keeping the place? He's like, I mean, you know, it takes more time, more organization, possibly tighter pants. But, you know, it's like, it's way more like even the floor, you know, like it's hard. It's very important to keep the floor clean, you know, so I'm really concentrating on the floor, you know. So, clean, clean, clean, everything going well, mentally stable here.

12:02Ronnie Karam: And he's like, all right, mate, geez, God, I'm looking forward to seeing it come together. fucking crazy person

12:10Ben Mandelker: so now the guests get into these really cool kayaks, these glow in the dark kayaks that at night they shine light down onto the fish and the fish are like, a little discretion please, hello this is like, I'm changing over here

12:25Ronnie Karam: my neighbors are spying, this is really awkward, just having a light shine on you, like we're trying to mate here bitch

12:33Ben Mandelker: it's like the gay porn star fish are down there I'd be like, yes, queen. I'm actually married to a woman.

12:40Ronnie Karam: This was beautiful. I want to do this at some point. This was absolutely gorgeous. And so he's like, everything comes alive at night. There's turtles. There's fish. There's a cock with a ring on it. It's slapping me in the face. Excuse me. Can you sit down? I'm trying to look at the views here. Jeez, these guys.

12:57Ben Mandelker: Oh, look at that. Look, there's a moray eel coming towards us. Oh, wait, one second. Sorry, that was Cade Maddox's ding dong coming out of his pants. All right. Fun times here. The best part of me is the adventure. I just think it's awesome. Absolutely epic.

13:14Ronnie Karam: So Anthony's stressing. He's like, Laurent is not here no more. So it's only me making everything by myself. This is my Super Bowl. I can do it. Old poor Anthony. Put out the pasture. Killed. Pasture is dead. No see Anthony anymore. So I'm going to do it. I'm going to make good food and have clean floor.

13:32Ben Mandelker: And then we have flashbacks. He has like Vietnam flashbacks to last season when Jill Zarin was terrorizing him. And she's like, hi, I'm going to show him how to make good Diet Coke. This is how you make Diet Coke.

13:45Ronnie Karam: This is not good. As someone who's been to a lot of restaurants, no. And so now the guests come to the...

13:53Ben Mandelker: Oh, go ahead. I just want to say, if the producers knew what was like how to do their show, they would not have done a five-day charter with gay porn stars who, yes, they like talk about cock rings but they're ultimately going to be like perfectly benign and lovely guests you're doing the five day charter because you want to put your crew through the ringer the cock ringer but you want to like make them you want to make their lives hell for five days this should have been the jill zarin returns to below deck five day charter that would have been so perfect i mean they would have they just would have all jumped off the boat by the end of it

14:29Ronnie Karam: so now it's time to sit down for dinner and Fraser's like, tonight's first course will be sushi. Shrimp tempura. And Marcel's like, this isn't shrimp, is it? Because I'm allergic to shellfish. And Fraser's like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. My mistake. And they're like, oh my god, he almost killed you. And so he goes and takes it down. He's like, chef, shellfish allergy. Okay, that is Anthony's fault. But it's also your fault taking up shrimp, girl. Thank you.

14:56Ben Mandelker: You know, too. Thank you. Thank you. That was so obviously like you're a team and you have to look out for like just he Anthony used to know this. But you should also know it like it's blatantly a shellfish like you should you should say, oh, wait, Marcel, you know, like fisting. Yes, shellfish. No, like you'd have to know what the preferences are.

15:18Ronnie Karam: But what if he gets fisted after someone was touching the shrimp?

15:22Ben Mandelker: That could actually be a genuine concern. Like I just had some cocktail and now I'm fisting you. and it's like that could be a problem

15:32Ronnie Karam: so phrases are like this is history repeating himself oh god read the goddamn preference sheet god I hope I didn't make the wrong decision in bringing him back dun dun dun

15:44Ben Mandelker: also way too dramatic okay like this is this is the undermining that that like we talk about right because it's like it was ultimately a mistake a mistake that you could have helped with if you'd actually just like paid attention yourself and then he's like oh no he's fallen apart already he's gone cuckoo for for cocoa puffs we have to commit him to an institution it's like no he made a mistake because he has jitters and he probably shouldn't have come back in the first place which you advocated for and you didn't help him in this situation and now you're gonna act like he's lost his marbles i

16:14Ronnie Karam: don't think so yeah but i have to say this is a bad one this is a really bad one you can't serve somebody shellfish it's allergic they could die that's a pretty i know but like fraser's like

16:24Ben Mandelker: Like, Fraser's already acting like, oh, no, he's already unraveling. I'm like, he made a terrible mistake. Doesn't mean that it's necessarily unraveling. And if he does unravel, that's on you. Because, like, that was his whole thing from last season is that he unraveled.

16:37Ronnie Karam: You hired the murderer. You hired him. Yeah. So, Fraser's like, please don't make these mistakes because now we look stupid. Yeah, but you both do. And so he's like, okay, okay, you know, here's what my creativity is like. You understand? Not really. Please. Please don't murder guests. He's like, oh my God, this could be terrible. I could kill somebody. But, you know, I'm not reading preference sheet. It's one of the reasons I got fired last season. So I'm putting it on the floor, which I'm really concentrating on now. Stop concentrating on the floor and concentrate on the shellfish, sir.

17:19Ben Mandelker: I love Fraser saying, like, these mistakes. Like these mistakes, you have to concentrate because these mistakes make us look stupid. Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to get my Party City dominatrix outfit ready for tomorrow night's dinner.

17:33Ronnie Karam: So, Kaya's talking to Jess, who I think is eating. I'm just going to assume she's eating. Oh, no, they're on the swim platform. But it would be better if they were in the mess hall. That's the only place I want to see Jess at this point. Giving reaction shots while she's eating. But he's like, I need to know that you guys are on my side. And she's like, yeah, I mean, yes, I can confirm we're on your side. And she's like, well, yes, but, you know, I mean, I told the captain, you know, like, it's a boat. I know I can do it. That's why I took the job. I'm up for it. And she goes, yeah. Yeah, but, you know, it's new.

18:03Ronnie Karam: But, you know, like, I can't say that it's not something new. It's a challenge for me in a way. You know, I've never had a four people team. But you know what I've always had? Hair. Good hair. Good, good hair. She's like, I'm worried.

18:14Ben Mandelker: I'm worried for this guy. and he's like you know when carrie comes down on me it's kind of a wake-up call you know i'm like i part the blinds of my hair and i say oh good morning i woke up because when i was a kid in school i was good to everything like the best student in the class and all that shit i was the best at i don't know lunchtime i was really good at that class and um after school snack really good at that really just anything with eating that's really what i was specialized in And I mean, I want to do best I can, of course. But if I make a mistake, it's not the best that I can. And I don't like that.

18:47Ronnie Karam: Yeah. I don't believe that you were the kid in school that was great at everything. Sorry. Don't believe it. You have insecure hair. You have like insecure, stupid person hair. So the gay porn stars are talking about like what it's like to be a creator, but also have social anxiety.

19:06Ben Mandelker: They're like doing like a roundtable for Variety magazine. yeah I think there's like a lot of creators that are like introverted and that pretend to be extroverted and Marcel's like yeah I hate people yeah you like don't pretend to be extroverted yeah that's just like my craft like I pretend to be like you know introverted but I'm not introverted like it's I'm introverted I don't know what it is yeah because you get turned inside out because you're introverted out yes queen but they have such a case Maddox is like yeah you know one

19:33Ronnie Karam: time I was doing this scene where people were bobbing for apples out of my butt and like it was really hard because they were always they were like hey how you doing i didn't want to talk to them you know what i mean get your apple and move away i've got a bushel up inside me can we just

19:49Ben Mandelker: move this along i i tell you i have such social anxiety like when there are like three dicks in my face just coming at me at the same time i'm like i just wish there was just one

20:00Ronnie Karam: so come in me but don't come at me you know what i mean I'm like do they think my banter is bad right now so then there's a reason I chose a job where my mouth is always full it's time for a commercial it's time for a crappin's commercial I got these bar stools from article and they fit my mid-century modern space so well there's nothing cheap about these. They are sturdy. They are heavy. They've got leather seats. And the best thing I got to pick them out and they were brought into my home and put together by Article in the room that I wanted. Everything else was taken out of there. It looks so good.

20:44Ronnie Karam: So thanks, Article.

22:17Ronnie Karam: New members can start listening with a 30-day free trial at audible.com slash WWC.

22:47Ben Mandelker: and like introverted. And so like, I actually feel like it's probably does extend to porn stars. Like it would make sense, you know?

22:54Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So we're getting too deep into this, into these woods.

22:59Ben Mandelker: Wow.

23:00Ronnie Karam: Like how does Kate Maddox feel? I think that was the review.

23:02Ben Mandelker: Wasn't that the review of Kate Maddox's first porno?

23:07Ronnie Karam: Too far in the Kate Maddox story. So next course is up. It's chicken teriyaki with oysters. Just kidding. Whoa. With pineapple fried rice in a pineapple. Look at that. And so now Fraser is talking to Damo and he's like, oh my God, you're looking very hot. He's like, oh, really? Yeah, really hot. Hot, hot? No, hot, hot, hot, hot. Oh, really? Yeah, hot. God. Someone wrote this down. It's our love story. Hot. I look hot like I'm hot. Sweaty hot. No, hot, hot.

23:44Ben Mandelker: Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, really hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot.

23:52Ronnie Karam: So now dessert is a banana Nutella samosa, and they love it. And now it's time for the hot bed. I mean, hot bed. Now it's time for the hot tub. So Rainbow is telling Celine what to do. She's like, okay, I would love for you to focus on this area of the pantry. Okay, like everything on the table, just put it back in the deco cupboard in a nice way. Any questions? Hello? hello any questions you do hello and she's like okay no question okay awesome thank you i do it

24:23Ben Mandelker: you're welcome yeah and uh and then she so then it's like by the way just you know like i do faster than i can but the bar means lawn is done so you're gonna be very very happy i did the bar i also cleaned toilets i cleaned all the bedrooms i vacuum floor everything is spick and span I'm beautiful. And Rainbow's like, oh, my God, really?

24:44Ronnie Karam: So, Selene's like, yes, I did everything early. You would be so happy. And she's like, oh, my God, you are amazing. Give me a hug. That is amazing. I didn't even have to check on you, and you did something without me telling you. Girl, don't believe Selene. Go check her work. Here's the thing. You've got Fraser getting all pissed off. He didn't check the work. You've got her getting all pissed off. She didn't check the work. Even Captain Kerry in the start of the season, he was the one to drive that boat to pick up the guests. And he noticed that there was luggage sitting on the dock. He didn't make sure anybody was picking up the damn luggage.

25:16Ronnie Karam: There's no people checking. There's supposed to be a hierarchy for a reason. You've got to check the work. Don't just hug her. Don't ever hug her.

25:26Ben Mandelker: Yeah, you are assuming way too much. When she says, I cleaned the bar, that is Solaine's way of saying, where is the bar? Can you clean it for me? That's all. What is bar? What is this bar? I waxed the bar. I cut all the puby hairs off the bar because of my previous job experience. Like, yeah, no.

25:45Ronnie Karam: I waxed the bar. Yeah.

25:48Ben Mandelker: The bar has a hair smell. Bar is clean, is Brazilian now. So Celine goes up to the living room area, the salon, and then sees that everything is actually all, not Celine, I mean, Rainbow, goes up there and sees that everything is completely dirty and not cleaned at all. and she starts to lose her mind. She's like, I have zero faith in her. I have zero trust in her. And sometimes I do feel like I'd be better off if she just wasn't here. So she just feels like.

26:18Ronnie Karam: Yeah, I think Laura was okay. It was just there was some stuff left on the table. There's like some paper decorations and it wasn't that big of a deal, but Rainbow's like, oh my God, I have zero faith, zero trust. Like sometimes I feel like it would be better if she just wasn't here. Okay, then just murder her. When is one of these shows gonna like do us the favor of having a murder i need a murder on one of these it's gonna happen soon i swear to

26:41Ben Mandelker: god if there will be a tragedy on below deck sooner or later we've come close so it's the next day it's the morning and um guests are seating for breakfast and rainbow is talking to demo and and she's saying that like um you know she's saying that that she's taking over whatever she's taking over the room she's here to clean and everything and then he's like how is everything going with you and um selene and she's like you know i'm good i have like no person no problem with her personally bro i mean i mean would i like to take her to an island in the middle of holland and beat the shit out of her perhaps but no real issue with her it's just like you know when she doesn't work i work like three times as hard i'm totally fine

27:22Ronnie Karam: no she does it like she gets off on doing the martyr thing like you know like no one else can work so i do it i just do everyone's job and that's just me he's like you are amazing you work non-stop. She's like, yeah, that's me. Hardworking rainbow. So Fraser is saying that he's going to go to the beach with the guests and he needs her on board as the second. She's like, oh wow. So I love being a good crewmate. Don't love complaining about Selene. You know, not talking about feelings is like an armor. So I just put on my stew face, you know, like it's going to get uncomfortable sometimes. You just, you just have to go through with it.

28:00Ronnie Karam: You know, I just don't talk about feelings. Is that a me problem? No, it's a service industry problem. Stop talking about your feelings. You're doing it right now. Smile. Give me a minute. Make my towel into a dinosaur.

28:14Ben Mandelker: Please shut up. Harness all of your childhood trauma into the shape of a dinosaur in a towel. Towel medium. So Carrie is like, alright everyone, we're going to bring the tender around. Kyle, we're going to bring the tender. So we're going to load the tender and get it packed and get the fierce wave of shore. You got your checklist? Kyle's like, absolutely. We're going to get a box from Sardinia and bring it onto the boat. And then we're going to sail away on a little raft. That's absolutely not what I said whatsoever. Copy that. So then Jess and Kyle are talking and Kyle talked about how he shared some cheeky messages back and forth to Solane.

28:51Ben Mandelker: So all is good. All is good. You know, if you're not fast, you're lost, so they say. A flirtation that I really don't care about.

28:59Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So Carrie and Barbara are talking, and Barbara's like, oh, my God, I've never worked in this childhood before. It's my first time. And he's like, oh, my girlfriend, homie, she gets off one day a week. She used to work for me when I was married. How about that? A few years later, I said, how about we go to dinner? We'd actually been committed that entire time. We didn't have dinner until after.

29:24Ben Mandelker: A meal-less relationship is kind of amazing. so barbara's like yes well i was in a relationship and i've been cheated and then i'm telling you i've had so many bad moments in my life but like so many but this one destroyed me so hard and like she was making plans with me and one day and then we're like going to have a dog and we're gonna have a baby we're gonna have all this and that and all these little things and nintendo switch and then she cheated on me and then he was our friend yeah a lot of people come and tell me oh barbara we see that we saw we could tell that was gonna happen like we knew it they had something but they had all this time together and everything happened like i don't know i like i'm ready for relationship i don't trust anyone you know like i don't know it's just like maybe i got trauma that's why this tattoo that says i don't trust anyone and like if i love some person so much then like she did this with me like how can i love someone else and curious like all righty well i think i hear my my radio going off gonna go off to the crew up to any other room but this one nice

30:10Ronnie Karam: chatting barbara it's a lovely time yeah um and he's like you know what um i'm changing myself so i'm attracting the right kind of person so what i'm saying to you barbara is stop being a shitty person and you'll get less shitty people it's like oh great talk thanks he's like so when i met that woman when i met that employee that i ended up leaving my wife for i decided to become a better person it's like your story needs some work sir so uh then we go to fraser who is talking to demo about um how it is working for the bosun and demo's like oh a little challenging you know like Like, I mean, you know stuff, but his communication could probably use some work.

30:56Ronnie Karam: And Kyle's like, I mean, give us five minutes fucking out because Kyle's radioing. And Fraser's like, okay, all right, boys, let's undermine the bosun all together now. So Fraser's like, Kyle, what the fuck? Like, you bring a guest before I'm ready. That's going to fuck me over. Could you not?

31:18Ben Mandelker: Yes, that's right, because I bring the people over too quickly. so then they all get there the gay porn stars get to the beach and then it's a nude beach so they're all gallivanting around naked and then the deckies are drawing like a dick in the sand and Fraser says if this was a porno I'd probably call it Sandy Crotch and Anthony's like yes I would call it La Plague of Sausage La Plague of Sausage and Fraser's like it's the beach of sausages sounds delicious

31:49Ronnie Karam: I think that's better It wasn't Sandy Crotch. I'm not really sure what kind of porn name that is.

31:54Ben Mandelker: Yeah, aren't you trying to get people to jerk off to this?

31:59Ronnie Karam: So now Rainbow is emailing. I was going to say Rainbow is emailing. My brain got stuck on emailing. So she's radioing Selene to do cabins. And Selene's like, oh, she's very crazy. She's crazy, no? So now she comes down to see Rainbow. and Rainbow goes, yes, queen cabin. She's like, but I'm working. I'm not finished. She's like, this is a little more important because if guests coming back in 30 minutes and cabins aren't done, we are fucked. We are fucked. Do you understand what I'm saying? Do you have a paper bag for me to breathe into? No, you don't? Then I need you to do the queen cabin.

32:37Ben Mandelker: Okay, so we'll do the queen cabin. I mean, what do you want from me? I mean, I'll do the queen cabin. It's not such a big deal. Fine, you do the queen cabin. I do queen cabin. I do another cabin. You do a cabin. It's fine. It's like it's a room. It gets done. I wax it. I wax cabin up a tear. Take all the hair out of the cabin. No big deal.

32:52Ronnie Karam: She goes, okay, but that cabin's done. Then can you jump into that one? She goes, oh my God, that one? Which one? Is it a different one? Where's the bed? This is a closet with food. No, the cabin. No, I don't know cabin. We're in woods. Where's cabin? Which cabin? Do you have a dress? God damn it.

33:11Ben Mandelker: So then they're like playing around. Barbara and Selena are like playing around with all the like the kink toys and everything. the like masks and cock rings and stuff and selena's like rainbow she says it's the end of the world when we don't go fast but i just tell her maybe to have a drink matcha i don't know like maybe she needs sex relaxed bodies sex and matcha matcha sex i do not know and barbara's like

33:32Ronnie Karam: yeah you know i think rainbow really works a lot but i don't think rainbow knows how to say in a nice way you know it's like hey bro don't do that it's not my vibe and we get a we get a montage of rainbow being like um maybe if you did that like five minutes ago it would be done maybe if you didn't do the sheets like that the sheets wouldn't be like that you know what i love that like when

33:56Ben Mandelker: rainbow does it we're like what gosh she's so obnoxious but then like any other recap of us like talking about blow deck we're like um maybe if you did that five minutes ago you would have

34:06Ronnie Karam: time for your break well but that's that's just how it is like you can't win you know what i mean Like, Fraser could come on here. Like, Fraser comes on here, starts the season by being sickly nice to everybody. And we're like, oh, my God, you're not even doing your job. What are you supposed to be everyone's best friend? Then the second he turns bitchy, we're like, oh, my God, you need to be nicer if you're going to be the boss of people. Like, you're never going to win.

34:28Ben Mandelker: I'm like, look at Rainbow being bossy. And then she's like, nice. Like, well, no, what Rainbow needs to say is if you did this five minutes ago, it would be done. You don't have to complain about it.

34:36Ronnie Karam: Yeah, but she really does have a way of speaking to people that's just like, what are you, an idiot?

34:40Ben Mandelker: yeah she's not pleasant yeah um she's not pleasant but she's funny i'm enjoying rainbow like i i

34:47Ronnie Karam: actually really like rain i am rainbow and i kind of feel for rainbow you know but i just love that her name is rainbow and she's always having breakdowns because that's just hilarious

34:57Ben Mandelker: it's because you misspelled rainbow that's right but you know you know me ronnie you've known me for a long time. You know, I am rainbow. Let's be honest. I am rainbow at all times, unfortunately. No. I'm rainbow and Janet. Look, I'm aware of it.

35:17Ronnie Karam: I love that you take all the crazy ones. You're like rainbow, Janet, Heather Dubrow. Yeah.

35:25Ben Mandelker: All the insufferable ones. I'm like, they're me.

35:28Ronnie Karam: Your rainbow, like your pride flag is just made out of sticks up asses.

35:35Ben Mandelker: a dream it's just it's not even a flag it's just a pole it's just a pole it's a pole with a little

35:40Ronnie Karam: butt on top oh gosh okay so rainbow is like our cabin's done and selen says yeah and she goes okay go on your break okay no go check the cabins have you learned nothing or is this over radio i

35:55Ben Mandelker: don't think this is over radio no i think it's in person selen goes okay so maybe i finished pantry because i never finish and i always told you to do this and do this and this and this so maybe i just finish so it'll be quick she's like no i just need to go on break before they come back because if they come back and you're on break then we're fucked so go do your break right now okay so you know i do break i do break because i never finish so i finish everything like my ball like i'm sorry but today like who's who and what what what who and who and like i go on break see you an hour like what are you talking about you crazy person and jess is like uh look at me

36:28Ronnie Karam: don't do it just stop just stop just stop just and rainbow's like um i'm trying my best here and just tells her there's nothing you can do you know because of course jess is eating something they're watching all of this and rainbow's like i am trying to be calm i can't take it that's ridiculous what am i supposed to do with this so meanwhile kyle brings anthony back on board

36:49Ben Mandelker: and uh but when he brings anthony back on board he doesn't really announce that he's coming back on board so he just sort of arrives and carries like oh you gotta be kidding me okay KO, KO's just arriving in Vista right now with a chef. I mean, just showing up with a chef. Who does that? So then meanwhile, Rainbow is like, I've just had the most stressful hour of my fucking life. And Barbara's like, let me tell you something. You know what's a stressful hour? It's the hour when you find out the woman who was going to buy a dog with you one day leaves you for a man. That's a stressful hour. This, this is nothing.

37:20Ben Mandelker: Just treat her like big kid. We have to treat her like this. Otherwise, you know, annoying.

37:25Ronnie Karam: Yeah, she's like, treat her like an idiot or she won't help us. You know, she's like, oh, God. She just walks off. So now, Kaio is putting the guests back on board and then everyone else is cleaning up the beach. And Fraser's like, we better get a good tip for that. And Carl's like, I reckon 40K, he's like, I reckon 40K, mate, for five days. I thought so too. These gays should be ashamed of themselves. My God. They should be. They should be ashamed. I always thought OnlyFans people made like$8 million a day or something. Like every time you see it reported, it's like OnlyFans creator just bought a$37 million house in Beverly Hills.

38:07Ben Mandelker: Yeah, this is mortifying what ultimately happens. So Carrie is like, well, I'm getting super frustrated because I've been sitting at the wheelhouse waiting for the comms. And, you know, the gayest reporter is like, yeah, we've been waiting for the comms here. so okay i was like what right yes no i should have picked up radio here here here and carrie's like well you should have grabbed the radio and you could have called me and say hey i'm heading back with a guess because sometimes if i see a boat leaving from the beach where the guests were and it comes to our boat i have no idea if that's our boat or just some other mystery boat that arrived and it's just copycatting our tinder how am i supposed to know unless you communicate

38:42Ronnie Karam: And he's like, oh, okay. Kyle's just like, whatever. So then he's like, dude, he's like shouting about getting this place looking good, but then he breaks and stuff in front of the guests. And Kyle's like, I know, shut up. So Fraser is checking on Rainbow. She's like, I mean, there was just a little incident. I'm doing great. Everything is great here, except that I have Celine. She won't take a break. I mean, I'm like telling her to do a cabin. She's like, no, I want to do the pantry. I mean, like she's refusing to take a break. So, I mean, otherwise, everything's vacuumed. Me and the vacuum cleaner made up.

39:17Ronnie Karam: I had to unbend it. So that was rough. It was hard. I took my aggression out on it. I'm sorry, vacuum cleaner. But it's okay now. And the table's being set, which I'm sure won't be cleaned later, because Rainbow will be in charge of it. Thanks for asking, Fraser.

39:30Ben Mandelker: Rainbow, are you putting a razor into a Stroopwafel? Yes, just a little something we do in Holland on Murder Day. That's fine. It's fine. Okay. Well, five days is a long time, period. Okay, and we have we have theme after theme after theme and this is asking a lot of us But this tonight is going to be fun the guests have requested an S &M Venetian private members of the sort of party and I am feeling it So I'm going to do an incredibly awkward dinner party that will seem funny on paper But we'll read as sort of strange to the audience at home Here comes one right now I

42:14Ronnie Karam: And then we get another monologue from Anthony about how difficult life is. Being Anthony is like, oh, yesterday was difficult. And I hear this little voice inside of me. You can't do it. You're stupid. I hate your pants. I hate your face. And it sounds like Fraser. Oh, no. What am I going to do? But this time I will try not to poison anybody. Oh, I just don't want the little voice in my head saying, Serve him, shellfish. He doesn't deserve to live. He puts fist in his mouth. Kill him. Kill him. Die.

42:49Ben Mandelker: Die. Now Selena's vacuuming stairs. And Rainbow's like, thanks, babe. How was your break? Oh, you know, I slept, I slept, you know, I just go to bed and I sleep. That's all I do. It doesn't break. That's what I do. But now I'm awake. I'm awake. But then I'll sleep later. Now I'm going to sleep now and I'll sleep later. You know, things like that, you know, work experience. Okay. Well, can we hug it out? I'm sorry for being crazy this morning. And I, I just wanted to give you a hug. So that way you don't think I'm super crazy when I lose my mind on you again in about 45 minutes. So just a little hug intermission.

43:20Ben Mandelker: Okay, here we go.

43:21Ronnie Karam: Okay. So, so Lane forgives her, but she's like, um, your fixed mind means nothing to me. So then Anthony is making dinner and Carrie is checking in on Kyle and Kyle basically says, yeah, it's a great season. You know, I mean, Kyle kind of sucks, but nice guy, but kind of sucks. But thanks for having me back. Damn, these people really hate Kyle. Everybody that Carrie is checking in with is like, yeah, that guy sucks. But thanks for talking. Thanks for the talk.

43:53Ben Mandelker: yeah because even these bros normally the bros cover cover for bros but this time they're like yeah he sucks so um then fraser is now fraser is now in like s &m venetian you know party party mode and so he knocks on the on the porn star's door and he's like hello the word to be used enter our dungeon this evening and the sky's like oh my god what is it safe word is an opener what's the wire and they open it up and the safe word is saint captain slated was right about me

44:30Ben Mandelker: this the safe word is norma

44:37Ronnie Karam: so now they're supposed to be doing this s and m thing but fraser just does not have the personality for it and it is hilarious he just comes out and he's like you all look like shit alright it's our game tonight not yours enjoy your meal I mean do not enjoy your meal I mean someone just kiss me please any kind of approval please

45:00Ben Mandelker: the guests are like Saint Slavid because I feel like the theme was supposed to be like dominatrix whatever S &M but I don't think it was supposed to be like a the staff is supposed to yell at the guests I think it was supposed to be like just like leather and like whips and funny and that. It's kind of just like, just strange. Because then Fraser, like, unless Anthony is like, now remember Anthony, we're playing characters tonight. We are not smiling and we are, oh, because we're playing characters, you're going to cook good food that won't kill people. Do you think you can get into that character from your normal self?

45:34Ronnie Karam: Fraser thinks that it just means that he can be, like, filterless, you know, and be his real personality. Because I think you're right. I think that's when I'm supposed to be like, yes, welcome to your sexy fucking dinner. enjoy this steak you manly man i mean something but it's just like just be rude so yeah and he's like this is the chef he makes the food you idiots all right go ahead anthony do your lines

45:58Ben Mandelker: anthony does not know what to do he's like well obviously it's pasta with black pesta and like it's stupid so eat it because you're stupid and then they're like thank you he's like didn't say thank you i'm like i don't this is not snm this is just you being a dick

46:15Ronnie Karam: he's like i don't even care enjoy it or don't goodbye

46:22Ronnie Karam: so then um barbara and selene are talking about and they're they're talking about sex toys because they're in one of the rooms and barbara's like do you know what it is come here and it's a cock ring and she says it's a ring and she goes yes it's a ring a ring for your willy and she goes what did you touch it she goes i thought it was jewelry she goes don't touch me with it

46:44Ben Mandelker: so do you imagine us laughter laughing together like four days ago i'm so happy now i guess selene's getting along i know and i guess that's selene's experience like waxing all sorts of guys dicks did prepare her to be sort of fearless touching her cock ring so um and then after she

47:00Ronnie Karam: does all this she then um helps serve dessert to the we shake hands with people i don't i don't think a wiener is any worse. I mean, you watch the wiener and you pretty much put it away. Hams do way grosser things. You know, I'd rather shake your wiener than your hand.

47:14Ben Mandelker: I'm sure there will be some people who will take you up on that offer. Just say it.

47:19Ronnie Karam: Call me. My DMs are open.

47:26Ben Mandelker: Another Kate Maddox movie. So then Fraser is like, well, we hope you enjoyed your evening this evening. we hope you enjoyed your evening this evening we're so sorry for being total bitches I'm like well I guess we're all at S &M yeah we just kind of ruined that one

47:46Ronnie Karam: so next day well it's charter day 5 of 5 and so the guests are ready to depart I mean basically we just have to say they shortened this whole thing and they do a montage they're like here's day 2 here's day 3 here's day 4 here's day and it's ending

48:03Ben Mandelker: Look how tired they are. Like the crew is tired from just, you know, getting drinks from some generally very nice men. So, yeah, they make it to day five of five. And Kyle is talking to Solane. He's like, tomorrow we finish work and me and you are going for a drink. She's like, okay. Yeah. Okay. Maybe dinner. Okay. But I think maybe a drink, just a drink. Okay. Like maybe because I had too much of Scottish. Yeah. I never have enough too much Scottish. Okay. Like, okay.

48:34Ronnie Karam: So he wants her. And so now they're leaving. And Sky's like, you guys, thank you so much for this wonderful week. Chef, this food was out of this world from me and the boys. Moi. It's like, come on, that's it? I thought there was going to be some flourisher here or something, Sky. You know, it was nothing but dick jokes the whole time. And now you're just like, bye. So they leave. You're right. Yeah. And Fraser, Anthony calls his mom. And he's like, mother, things are going okay. Well, I almost killed somebody, but otherwise it's okay. But I don't know about Fraser. I still don't know. I need to talk to Fraser.

49:09Ben Mandelker: And then Fraser was talking to Jess and he's like, how cool is Damo? He's super attractive. And I spoke to my boyfriend about it. And I was like, it's fine for me to make out with other people, right? And he was like, absolutely not. And Jess was like, well, explain your relationship. And she's like, well, I've seen him for five days in 2024. And each day was absolutely stupid. I don't know why I'm with this man. probably because I'm hideous and have no self-esteem.

49:34Ronnie Karam: Yeah, so he thinks it might be the wrong time. He's like, you know, it's just that I'm fed up of having a pen pal and calling it a boyfriend. So then Carrie gets the tip meeting going in the Sky Lounge, in the Skynox Lounge, and they're going to change the name of Sky Lounge after this. Shitty tip. Sky. Seriously. Shitty tipper. So he's like, all right, you all did great. The tip doesn't reflect it. It's$19 ,990. He even took$10 to tip a cabbie out of the 20K. So that's really bad. I'm sorry about that. You would expect more from a barrel of dicks, but that's what we get.

50:15Ben Mandelker: And unfortunately, it's all in singles. You know, I, like the last charter gave$30 ,000 off of like a standard two and a half day, you know, trip. So the fact that these, like, you would think it would be at least like a roundabout double, maybe a little bit lower. And like 19 ,000. Congratulations, Contessa. You are finally, you are finally off the hot seat. The gay porn stars are now the new high bar for bad tippers on this show. Yeah. Terrible. Terrible. Awful. Embarrassing. For a moment, I thought there was going to be a misdirection. Like, this tip doesn't even reflect your work. It reflects more.

50:54Ben Mandelker: Or they gave you$50 ,000. But I was like, whoa,$19 ,000? That's mortifying.

50:59Ronnie Karam: No, this was shameful. So he's going to send them to dinner instead. And they're like, oh, my God. And we sold so much penis. I've never seen so much penis in my life. And that was penis waxer.

51:10Ben Mandelker: Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm looking to see if Sky Knox has made a statement. Because sometimes this happens when they get shamed for their tipping. I'm going to see if he says something like, guys, you don't really understand. Like we wanted to give a bigger tip, but then production advised us not to. I'm wondering if he's going to like have some sort of statement, but I don't see anything, but I will keep tabs on it and I will report back to see if he's been publicly shamed.

51:34Ronnie Karam: Okay. So then the crew goes out and then they're parting back at the place. And the big news is they're getting sexy in the hot tub. And Kyle is playing the guitar in his cabin, which of course he is. That's just so him. Like, I'm going to go be autistic. But then the big news is Fraser and Demo make out. And Demo tells us, yeah, you know, he's a good kisser. You know, and listen, I've absolutely kissed a guy before, you know. I mean, one day I saw this guy and he's good looking and I said, what the fuck am I gay? But I guess I've just been open to it because I thought maybe I could be potentially gay, like maybe be 50, have two kids and a wife and be like, hey, honey, I'm leaving you for a man.

52:20Ronnie Karam: you know that could be me who knows it so why not get it wallet to you i love him pre-loading his uh

52:27Ben Mandelker: midlife crisis he's like i'm just getting ready for getting some practice in gonna try it out with fraser so i'm gonna make out with him in the hot tub which was like whoa um also i wish we had some sort of like build up but they just started kissing out of nowhere there wasn't any like

52:41Ronnie Karam: anything they just well we saw some build up earlier where he was like am i hot no are you hot like hot or am I hot? No, are you hot, hot? I mean, for Fraser, that's like the notebook.

52:57Ben Mandelker: Absolutely disgusting. I love it.

53:00Ronnie Karam: So Fraser's like, well, I do have a boyfriend, but I'm not exactly worried about it. And if he's mad, he probably won't be able to tell me off about it for six months or so. And then only the quick dinner to Applebee's. So I can take this.

53:16Ben Mandelker: So then everyone leaves. and now Kyle and Selene are left there and Kyle's like, well, you know, do you want a kiss? She's like, yeah, okay, come over here. He's like, okay. So he like paddles across the pool and then they start making out. He's like, I'm very well aware that I fall pretty quickly. She just needs to look at me the right way and then I'm like, that's it. I love her. She's mine. I fucking have a problem.

53:39Ronnie Karam: And Selene's like, I don't know. You know, men are stupid, but who knows where it could go. I have not seen him rinse off a cold cut yet, so I just don't know if he's my type of man

53:52Ronnie Karam: I enjoy kiss

53:54Ben Mandelker: and that's the end of the episode so you know a little anticlimactic I was expecting more chaos from this five day trip but that's okay they can all be crazies and fun times and we will be back next week with more of KO's descent into bad bosondom so enjoy that and we'll catch you on the next Crappens episode everyone.
