#2975 Below Deck S12E12 Part 2: Docked Over

In short

This episode of Below Deck S12E12 Part 2 (“Docked Over”) focuses on a charter that can’t leave the dock, causing escalating crew conflict and guest dissatisfaction. In the galley, Anthony repeatedly radios for trash removal; Hugo and others don’t respond, leading to a “mountain of trash” and arguments about responsibility and attitude. Hugo claims Anthony’s yelling is unfair, while Anthony argues the deckhands are neglecting duties. The crew tries to salvage the day with snorkeling and water activities, including a planned (but mocked) wedding-dress jump idea. Anthony also cooks extensively, but after disputes and complaints, he serves “consequence sandwiches” to deck crew. Guest compensation/discount negotiations occur: the agent offers only 20%, and later the captain reports $19k total (about $14.61 per person). Guests include Denise and Ron (complain about the boat not moving), plus a primary guest group that discusses tips and discounts.

Key claims

docked days shouldn’t justify underperformance; tips shouldn’t punish the crew; and the charter company/agent should compensate more.

Notable examples

trash pile radioing, snorkeling plan, pineapple-carved lunch idea, sandwich backlash, and tip/discount negotiations.

0:00Ben Mandelker: Bite into a stacked sandwich made with Hero Bread. And the only thing you'll think is delicious. You won't think it has up to 19 grams protein, 11 to 32 grams of fiber, or just 0 to 5 grams net carbs. But it does. Hero Bread. No compromises. Just loaves, buns, tortillas, bagels, and noodles packed with flavor. Right now, get 10 % off at Hero.co with code IHEART. That's H-E-R-O dot C-O code IHEART. All figures per serving of Hero Bread. See Nutrition Facts on Hero.co. Hi, this is Paige from Giggly Squad, and today's episode is brought to you by McDonald's.

0:35Ronnie Karam: Honestly, Caesar sauce and a Diet Coke at McDonald's might be the perfect girl dinner.

0:40Ben Mandelker: And McCrispy strips dipped in Caesar sauce? No notes.

0:44Ronnie Karam: Right now at participating McDonald's, the$2.99 Caesar snack wrap is making me rethink my entire go-to order. Caesar sauce is at participating McDonald's for a limited time, so go try it before it's gone.

0:56Ben Mandelker: Prices and participation may vary. Watch What Happens

1:28Ronnie Karam: recap if you're like hey wait a minute i didn't hear part one guys it's because we put out a lot of recaps go back and listen to part one okay it's before this one bye enjoy the show back in

1:39Ben Mandelker: the galley there's a big pile of trash just sitting there and anthony's like fucking trash sitting here all day have you seen that stereo anywhere and rainbow's like i haven't seen anybody i'm on my own island go back and anthony's like what are they doing just i don't know what the So then he's like radioing. He's like, can someone take out the trash? Anyone, anyone, anyone? Trash, trash, trash. I'm building a mountain of trash over here. It's like, this is like Paris. Come on, someone fix the trash, please.

2:07Ronnie Karam: So Hugo's just hanging out in the mess, not answering. Jess is making out with Barbara. No one's doing anything. So Anthony starts to unravel. He's like, I'm building a mountain of trash over here, like in Paris. And Celine's like, you always think the crew mess? He's doing nothing. I don't know why he's not taking trash.

2:26Ronnie Karam: okay go ahead go ahead okay any chance to grab the trash on the galley it's really starting to have a little mountain over here he's like yep no problem gotcha copy i'm gonna eat some more combos really really slowly and not do a thing that i just said i would do or tell people who are right around me to do it because i'm hugo yeah he just sits there and then he's like it's

2:52Ben Mandelker: actually infuriating because this happens on every season of below deck is that the deck hands especially on these sort of charters just do nothing and like you're not the boat's not moving so you can't even say oh well we were anchoring and doing this that like you put out some you put sure you did you put out some like the toys and did like a like a sunset cruise and you've been washing the decks but like the the interior has been working like crazy and now they're all just like sitting around doing nothing of course so selene grabs the trash and then she has a whole kind of like slapstick moment where she's trying to put the trash into like the recycling bin and it's heavy and she can't get it up and lifting the thing up and it's a whole it's a whole like

3:27Ronnie Karam: you know yuck yuck moment yeah so anthony is pissed he's like i work hard these guys aren't doing shit this is so disrespectful so anthony goes down to the crew mess and he's like hey bro bro bro when i ask you guys on the radio like one of the dick team about the trash and he goes like did they not go what the he's like no nobody showed up well i saw one of them i thought they were heading over there i mean she was holding hands with the girl and they were talking about jam i assume that was lingo for we're about to go do a whole lot of work for the chef guess that didn't work out huh maybe i should have asked well for me it was like anthony go fuck yourself

4:10Ben Mandelker: with the trash you know so hugo says anthony coming at me with this fucking trash is a joke I think it's fucked up with what he does to the crew when he goes in these spirals and he just starts yelling and everyone's just supposed to turn their back and go, oh, well, that's Anthony. I don't like that shit. Don't fucking come and meet with that angle. I'm not going to fucking pity part of your ass. Yeah, you don't have to like his attitude. But like if you have a responsibility to clear out the trash from the galley, do your job. Do your fucking job. And he wanted to yell at you.

4:35Ronnie Karam: And also the last time Anthony yelled at you guys was when he had to cook your whole fucking dinner on vacation because no one would help him. So Anthony's, you know, behavior is not great, but you guys are being dicks. And it's the second time in a row that you've been there. And you're blaming him as crazy when you haven't taken out the fucking trash, sir.

4:53Ben Mandelker: Yeah, he's like, really all eyes are on him. And they should know that. And you're like, he needs to have organization in his galley. And you guys are just sitting around. You're literally sitting in the corner of the crew mess doing nothing. You have Jess who's making out with Barbara. And you've got two of the guys are just in their room, just on their phones, relaxing. So I think it's like bullshit that Hugo is going to be like, I don't like the way he's treating me. Hugo has actually proven to be a little inept, you know, because Hugo also did not shut down the thing with Kyle. That sort of festered the whole thing when Kyle was bragging.

5:23Ben Mandelker: Hugo's the one who actually should have reported it. It shouldn't have even been. Fraser shouldn't have even been in a position where he like has to like potentially report it to Kerry because that should have been Hugo who did that in the first place. So he goes sort of like a little shit.

5:36Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So then now it's 11 p.m. The guests are bored. So they go to bed. And Jess and Barbara are kissing, but Jess goes back to her cabin. And Rainbow checks out the list of stuff to do, and it's done before Selene goes to bed. And Rainbow's like, has hell frozen over? Because I feel like Selene is not distracted, so she's actually doing her job. Like, the bitch is working. And that's because I wasn't nice to her, because I finally stood up for myself. You just got rain-beowed.

6:10Ben Mandelker: mess with the horns you're gonna get the rainbow so now it's the morning it's 6 a.m and ron is up and he's like i mean it's kind of pathetic that we come spend 60 000 and this boat doesn't even move i mean fair point fair point i'm not saying that that's not true i'm just saying i wouldn't act like i'm stuck at like an applebee's okay like you're still in a really beautiful situation

6:35Ronnie Karam: Yeah, I would be super pissed. I think he totally has a right to be pissed. Just take it out on the right people. And you know what? Call your Amex and say, reverse this charge. The boat never moved. Period. I would ask for half off, to be honest. I would say I'm not paying for this. Period. They shouldn't have to pay for anything.

6:56Ben Mandelker: I would say actually buy me a yacht. At this point, buy me a yacht.

6:59Ronnie Karam: I would actually say you need to buy me some children from overseas because I would be a good parent. and I've never been able to afford it. So it's kind of fair.

7:10Ben Mandelker: I would be a good parent. I have chalkboards ready for when they go to school. I'm ready for the process. I have seashells.

7:18Ronnie Karam: I have a piano to learn chopsticks on. Okay. I deserve children. So there's going to be a delay with the part.

7:26Ben Mandelker: More delays on the part. Yeah. Good news.

7:29Ronnie Karam: I got a text. Bad news. The part's delayed. good news wednesday's back bad news second season sucks just found out last night

7:41Ben Mandelker: good morning the person is flying here with the pot the bad news is their arms are really tired it's a joke all right we're not going to be going anywhere okay we've got but we've got to do so we've got to do something good water sports snorkeling reach arounds, whatever it takes, come back to the boat for lunch, all right? She wants to jump in the water. This woman wants to jump in the water with her wedding dress off the tender because she thinks that's going to be funny. So if we pull that off, it's going to save the charter, all right? So time is of the essence. I don't want them getting delayed and sitting around doing nothing.

8:16Ben Mandelker: Me neither.

8:17Ronnie Karam: Me neither. That is exactly what I don't want. So, all right, guests, today we're going to take you out snorkeling. I know you want a picture of you two together jumping off the boat wearing your wedding dress, which is absolutely pathetic, but we will relive that feeling that you first felt in that dress, which I hope is dread and instant regret, because it's what's on your face right now.

8:40Ben Mandelker: Let's do this. I know you wanted a photo, a majestic photo of you jumping off the plow of the boat, a tall mega yacht in the background as you plummet into the ocean with nothing but an unblemished horizon in the background. But instead what we can offer is you jumping off a tiny dinghy around an industrial seaport.

9:07Ronnie Karam: So, Rainbow goes to check on Anthony and he's like, what is happening? She goes, nothing. By the way, they're loving it. They are absolutely loving everything that's going on. Everything is going great. He goes, okay, well I need to know everything because you know how much everything is stressing me. She goes, um, I don't have time for the speech. Okay, bye. She walks off. He's like, what the fuck? What did you just fucking say? What?

9:30Ben Mandelker: We all know the way you deal with stress is you internalize it until you have a panic attack late at night and cry in the corner and then come back and act like nothing happened and if that's still not good enough, you go to an island and you punch a bitch.

9:40Ronnie Karam: She's like, um, find a sibling to abuse. I'm busy. Bye.

9:45Ben Mandelker: I gave you my perfunctory compliment of the day and I'm going back to my cleaning. So the guests go snorkeling and they look like they actually have like a very fun day there's like chicken that's served in a pineapple that was cool the chicken pad or the pad thai served in a pineapple was really neat yeah that was fun i did that for the first time i i carved out a pineapple like that for the first time for the white lotus season finale and it was really fun you get it's actually not what you put in there um like a thai rice of some sort um i'll love it like carving out the pineapple is not hard at all people you just literally there's like a million tutorials online it takes about three seconds and it looks really like fun and special so my hack for for for being

10:32Ronnie Karam: stuck on land all day carve a pineapple carve a pine so we go to denise and ron taking their jumping pick it's you know it's weird as you would think yeah it's some like that point i would just I think the whole reason she's doing it is because she's like, I still fit in my wedding dress, bitches. It's like her Facebook post where she can be like, hi, everybody who's gained weight since they got married 10 years ago. Guess who didn't? Me. That's right. It's been 10 years.

11:02Ben Mandelker: Guess who spent thousands of dollars on this dress and now is going to willfully destroy it by jumping into the waters of a St. Martin Harbor. Me. Here we go.

11:13Ronnie Karam: Then there's like a 70s party. Oh, God, then we get a 70s theme party. Yeah, this is not what to do when people are stuck on the boat. Put on wacky 70s costumes. I'm glad we kind of fast-forwarded through it.

11:25Ben Mandelker: Yeah, this was one of those charter days where production just, like, zipped through it very quickly.

11:30Ronnie Karam: Yeah.

11:30Ben Mandelker: And then Anthony made a beef wellington, and then he made a vegan milanese. He was firing on all cylinders, dealing with all these requirements. Then people were dancing. He's doing great, by the way.

11:41Ronnie Karam: He's made really good looking food today, aside from the baby arm octopus. But a Wellington's not that easy. And I mean, he's pulling off a lot of stuff. So good for him. Yeah, we're very proud of him. Our little baby. So proud. I mean, you get a little confidence into that tight jeans little man and look at him go. You know? Yeah, he's grown.

12:00Ben Mandelker: He is growing. So now it's 2.30 in the morning. Everyone gets to bed. And now third day of the charter, 6.30 a.m. Kerry calls the yacht agent about giving the guests a discount. 20 %? Sorry, that's not going to cut it. That's shocking, shockingly bad. 20 % is like it should not be 20%. It should be at least 50, at least 50.

12:25Ronnie Karam: I would say this boat's not even moving. We can't charge them. And then have them say, okay, tell them we'll give them half off or something. But you don't start at 20. What kind of negotiator are you?

12:36Ben Mandelker: It was bad. I think it's actually rude. It's rude. It's wrong. So then Damo's talking to Kyle and Kyle's like, Damo's like asking how Kyle is and Kyle's like, I just feel awkward every time I'm around the guest now. You know, it's hard when you have a booner, but you know, you can't stick it into a guest. It's so hard for me. It's very, very awkward.

12:57Ronnie Karam: But these are the actions of my consequences. Yes, I heard you. Let us talk about it. Damo's like, I'm not entirely sure if you're saying that ironically or not, because it seems like you're making a joke of it. He goes, yeah, I am. I was like, okay. So you see, he's taking no responsibility. He's just mad that there's consequences. So I don't know if Kyle realized

13:19Ben Mandelker: that he reversed the order there because he said, these are the actions of my consequences. So I think Damo's like, did you mean to say it that way? Well, the rest of the episode

13:28Ronnie Karam: are the actions of his consequences because now he's getting consequences and it's sending him into action, which is being terrible.

13:36Ben Mandelker: wall yeah exactly so then he gets another instagram wall i think he's actually the only instagram walls of the season i think they have started to mitigate the instagram walls which i appreciate so we got two kyle's which um is only rough because we have to see a lot of his photos up close and personal and he's like i'm usually pretty outgoing i love life i love people i just don't know where to place myself i don't know what to do i'm a ghost on this ship i shouldn't be here but i'm here i'm just pissed off i just want to get the job done and fuck off i'm over it i'm fed off i'm like i'm sorry i i'm not i just i cannot be on board for kyle's existential crisis like you were inappropriate you're being punished like just do your job and move on

14:18Ronnie Karam: like he's literally mad now that he's not fired so what a weirdo he's like i'm on this ship oh come relax two of the guys from the guest whatever the two of the guests are like what well what's your suggestion about the additional stuff for the crew and he's like no no tip is not a reflection of our group it's a reflection of the circumstances no it's a reflection of your group the reflection of the circumstances is refusing to pay for the yacht not fucking over the people here you are such a wuss you would rather fuck over the people who can't fight back then fuck the people that could sue you is what you're saying.

14:55Ronnie Karam: Exactly.

14:56Ben Mandelker: Bad. And so Ron's like, well, I think I need to explain that to the captain. And he's like, well, he's right there. He's like, oh. Okay, Doug.

15:04Ronnie Karam: Well, you're the one talking all big and trying to talk him up to it. So why don't you go with him to talk to the captain? You wuss. He's like, oh yeah, we're not paying for shit. We shouldn't have to. It's not a reflection of us. Okay, you go talk to him. Okay. Yeah. I'll just sit here at the bar and watch. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappin's Commercial.

15:50Ben Mandelker: mysterious murders.

15:51Ronnie Karam: FX's The Shards, now streaming on Hulu.

15:54Ben Mandelker: August is the perfect time to hit reset before the autumn rush begins, and honestly, I can't think of a better place to start than my closet. That's why I love shopping at Quince.

16:03Ronnie Karam: Quince is all about fewer, better pieces. Their clothes are made with premium materials built to last and designed to become the one you reach for every day.

16:12Ben Mandelker: Quince specializes in everyday staples that work harder, like their ultra-soft organic cotton tees and premium Mongolian cashmere sweaters. They're versatile, timeless, and transition seamlessly from a casual workday to dinner out.

16:25Ronnie Karam: If you're still hanging on to the same worn-out basics, Quince makes it easy to upgrade. They have premium denim and tailored chinos from just$60 with the kind of perfect fit, structure, and high-quality fabrics you'd expect from a luxury designer brand.

16:40Ben Mandelker: Everything at Quince is priced 50 to 80 percent less than similar brands. They work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen. So you're paying for high quality, not brand markup. I recently got something for all my great quince clothing, which is I got a garment duffel. It's like a garment bag, but it can actually sort of coil up on itself and form a duffel bag. So you can basically turn the inside cavity into a whole bag. It's like two bags in one. It's crazy. It's a crazy feat of engineering and I'm obsessed.

17:09Ronnie Karam: And it's not just clothing. Quince has become our go-to from everything from hotel quality bedding, bath essentials, to premium cookware and travel must-haves.

17:37Ben Mandelker: so ron pulls carrie for a chat and he's like well you know first of all you guys have been great by the way i mean a little upset you guys didn't have uh some just for men because as you can tell i ran out of uh i ran out just at the right at the end there but um we've been completely happy i mean just i mean just so happy but i think normally when something is significantly wrong i mean the boat doesn't leave that's not like a small matter right no absolutely not not at all you're going to get to a point here because I'm sort of binging Wednesday at the moment. And I just really, really need to get back to it.

18:13Ronnie Karam: Or need to see what that crazy hand is up to. Well, we're all in the service industry. I mean, look at us. All service, right? So usually I hate when people say that. As if everybody in the world doesn't know that this is going to, like that doesn't give you an extra anything to say I'm in the service industry. when people are like, you guys, we didn't get our drinks on time and we're in the service industry. Oh, really? Because people who aren't in the service industry love getting terrible service. Like, what do you think that gives you over everybody else? Shut up, Ron. So he's like, yeah, and you know, there's a standard gratuity, but I don't know that the group's going to be happy about doing that because everybody knows if you have a great waiter and terrible food, you should fuck over the waiter every single time.

18:58Ronnie Karam: Yeah. Right, Captain?

18:59Ben Mandelker: yeah and so and meanwhile the guests the the crew is um like barbara and rainbow were talking about how their their tip is probably gonna be shit whatever so carrie's like well i'm more mad now

19:09Ronnie Karam: i just got myself more mad because being in the service industry you do have a leg up to know if the restaurant fucks up the restaurant takes the loss not the waiter what is wrong with you you should know better the meal you comp the meal yeah i i almost wonder like did did ron already

19:26Ben Mandelker: talked to the charter company and were they like we're not going to give you anything i don't know but carrie's like well at the end of the day you get nothing for nothing quite literally and it's a service industry and if the house makes a mistake the staff shouldn't suffer so thank you yeah thank you ron's like well but this is a ship not a house so your yachting wouldn't be what it is if all the boats never left the dock right it would be reasonable for that component of this to influence the way people thought. Like normally the owner or whoever's in charge that would do something to make it right.

19:57Ben Mandelker: Do you understand? Do you understand how sad my white streak in my hair is right now? Do you see it's crying? I can't have it crying.

20:03Ronnie Karam: No, I know that's not your call, but my hair hurts. My hair really hurts right now. He's like, well, I've had a discussion with the agent about that and there should be some compensation on the front end of the charter and I've been told that there's a discussion that you and them will be having after. Oh, hell no. That company sucks. They need to have this conversation right fucking now. This boat's not leaving. I'm on the wrong side, too. I just don't like how he dealt with it. I'm sorry. What did you say?

20:31Ben Mandelker: We all know the quote-unquote company is Bravo, right? Has to be.

20:36Ronnie Karam: I don't know how this works. If it's Bravo or if it's the actual owner of the boat who does it. I don't know either. Because I feel like it's the owner of the boat.

20:45Ben Mandelker: I think no matter what, you do a tip because the service was still really excellent. Maybe, I mean, maybe it wasn't excellent. Like there was that jet ski issue, but like you could see that everyone was working super, super hard to keep them entertained to compensate. And I think punishing the crew is shitty, you know.

21:02Ronnie Karam: Well, they get a huge discount, right, for shooting the show. So if this was, I think it's like 50 % off. So if they're paying 60, this probably would have cost them 120 grand. so maybe the boat gets the boat owners rented out for the show and they're taking kind of a loss anyway because they're saying okay we'll let you shoot on the boat for half the price because at least we're using the boat more you know and so if the thing doesn't happen and the boat doesn't move they're probably telling bravo like hey listen you're still shooting bravo is still making their money on this episode so we want our money from this episode like you're not going to of us when you still got to shoot this episode on our boat so maybe that could cause some kind

21:44Ben Mandelker: of complications or something yeah maybe or maybe this guy's just a dickwad so that's true yes jess goes up to kyle she's like how are things going any actions and consequences you want to share and he's like well i need to watch what i'm doing and drinking and whatnot so monthly nice i fucking love drinking though so at the point where i should stop that's where i go it's time to

22:06Ronnie Karam: fucking go harder you know oh yeah i love when people have this discussion they're like you know what i really need to do change that's the problem with me i just don't know how to stop oh gonna drink this entire bottle of whiskey in five minutes because that's what happens so i can't feel for kyle well if you go down that road you'll probably get a dui there's going to be a point

22:30Ben Mandelker: where you can't turn back it's like yeah absolutely it's like looking forward to it yeah so there's

22:38Ronnie Karam: some lunch and it is a sad little lunch it's like little sandwiches you know like lunch sandwiches when you're in the first grade and your mom's in a hurry and she's like here here's some turkey with some cheese slapped on there get the fucking lunch a little complainer all right yeah and uh demo gets it and he's like oh is this our lunch gee yeesh and that's he's like well come on you Food is food. Captain told me, if I don't have time, make a sandwich. It cannot be Christmas every day, guys. Unfucking believable. Show me some respect. I'm part of the tips. I do my best for the crew. I'm working hard.

23:08Ronnie Karam: Hard, bro. I'm not your bitch. All my life, people put me down, and I'm tired with that. Fuck off. Fuck off. Now you get sandwiches.

23:15Ben Mandelker: You know what? I absolutely side with Anthony on this. Did Damo work up an appetite from all the not-docking he was doing? You know what? Eat your sandwich. I know it's not fancy, but guess what? I have sandwiches like that, like most of the week, like we'll survive. You know, you'll, you'll probably snacking. You're probably snacking all day anyway. Just eat your sandwich. Yeah. And eat two, eat two of them instead.

23:37Ronnie Karam: Yeah. If you, if you eat two or three, eat your film and say, we need more. We ran out.

23:42Ben Mandelker: But yeah, complaining about everyone else's sandwiches and then blame the chef. Yeah.

23:49Ronnie Karam: I'm a, I'm a working boy or whatever.

23:52Ben Mandelker: Yeah. But like I thought that was really disrespectful when he's been cooking nonstop for like two straight days. And then you're going to come in here and be like, is this it? Is this all we get? Like, it's just I think it's totally obnoxious.

24:04Ronnie Karam: I mean, I thought so, too. But don't you think that Anthony is probably getting revenge? Because I think Anthony is being passive aggressive, passive aggressive, passive aggressive because nobody took out the trash. And so now it's like, OK, now you're going to get sandwiches.

24:17Ben Mandelker: As he should. Actions have consequences.

24:21Ronnie Karam: These are called consequence sandwiches. I will gladly eat them.

24:25Ben Mandelker: Yeah, because they basically said, oh, we don't really care about Anthony. So why is he, after he has worked this crazy charter nonstop with all these different requests and having to really go above and beyond because they're docked, why should he be like, wait, now let me drop everything for this crew? I mean, yes, he should do that for pride in his job, but they were just totally disrespectful to him. And so he's like, you know what? I'm just going to make you sandwiches today because I'm busy. And you don't have respect for me. So guess what? It goes two ways. Yeah.

24:54Ronnie Karam: Okay. So now the guests are departing and Ron's like, guys, you are all a plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus. Chef Anthony, we threw you curves, you know, vegans, some, not some vegetarians. It was just great. Fraser, your customer service. God, we're in the customer service business. We own restaurants. So you epitomize customer service and we've got something for you, which is to show how much we didn't appreciate your service. Thanks, suckers. Thanks, losers.

25:29Ben Mandelker: I need to look up who who is this guy and what his restaurants are. I need to find like going to hit up our old friend Gina Ragusa, who writes who's like she's a writer. and she always seems to know who all of the guests are because I want to know who this person is and who their restaurants are because I want to find out what's going on. And then I'm going to talk about those Yelp reviews and everything because I bet this guy has shitty, shitty restaurants, Ron.

25:57Ronnie Karam: While the search results mention other below-deck chefs like Marcos who has blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, none of them are associated with Ron. I can't find it so far.

26:09Ben Mandelker: It's always really annoying. It's always like, it's always, I wish that Bravo was better about like giving details about these guests. Because every time they leave, I always want to like look them up and find out all the details. And you never, ever can.

26:23Ronnie Karam: Yeah, I want to know. Let me get to the bottom of this. I want to know too, but I can't find it. So maybe we'll see later. Someone will come out with it. Someone. Come on. We have restaurants to shame people. now everybody anthony pulls demo aside and he's like let's have a quick chat bro what was that a sandwich i didn't like that direction bro and he's like oh it's just it wasn't a lot because well i'm working 16 hours a day you know bro um so he's like i'm not a little bitch and when i hear that the primary guest was happy my job remember one thing part of the tip is part of me too so you remember that today when you get your amazing tip this is all me everybody today's tip is because of me.

27:09Ben Mandelker: That is funny. It's like, oh, we just need a bit more food, man. Like, nobody thinks you're a bitch. Nobody thinks you work for us, but while you're here, do you mind mopping the floor over there? Okay, and stop with that attitude.

27:21Ronnie Karam: I'm not the bitch here, and what I hear, the primary guest was very happy of my job, so remember. Remember me. And Hugo's like, oh, calm the fuck down. Hugo, shut up. No one's talking to you, sir. Okay? You need to shut your face you're being a real asshole this whole episode you be quiet or you're gonna get little consequence sandwiches all season i love a consequence sandwich actually i can really go

27:44Ben Mandelker: for a consequence sandwich right now i'm not gonna lie um so so uh carrie's like all right everyone meeting the sky lounge sky lounge everyone so they all the the crew gathers before carrie gets there and uh you know fraser is like they'll gather there and anthony's angry and barbara's like well i hope i hope anthony's making some snacks and and fraser's and solane is like yeah we didn't have lunch and fraser goes yeah i wouldn't keep saying that it's me on the lunch day with with anthony a okay a so here this is where i get confused so he didn't even feed the

28:23Ronnie Karam: whole staff like did the crew did the guys just eat all the sandwiches he was making it because

28:28Ben Mandelker: he was making remember he was like cooking he was cooking in the galley and had to step away to go to this meeting so he just gave sandwiches to the deck crew to like shut them up and then was going to cook other stuff for later maybe or maybe they ran out of sandwiches maybe the deck crew did eat all the sandwiches i'm not sure but he was definitely he was definitely in the galley

28:46Ronnie Karam: cooking something because i thought he went to the galley to cook after the conversation with Damo because Damo's like we're just saying it's not enough food so he's like okay fine so he went back to the galley to make more food is how I was taking it I don't know this is so stupid like getting caught up in this stuff like I have to remember what we're watching sometimes I'm like wait a minute who got the sandwiches

29:07Ben Mandelker: I honestly keep on thinking about those sandwiches and I want one really badly like I'm craving who's stopping you?

29:14Ronnie Karam: You got some bread in your fridge? I mean in your pantry?

29:17Ben Mandelker: No I'm gonna make a sandwich but we're podcasting so i'm not going to stop the podcast stop the podcast unless you need to say that's a reason could you bring the bring the lap bring the the microphone up to the

29:29Ronnie Karam: the kitchen yeah um so fraser's like please stop saying that barbara she goes well what so anthony comes in it's like okay here i am long day i'm finally okay i argued with everybody now I'm calling again. She goes, where's lunch? And he's like, goddammit! What the fuck, bro? And he gets out of there.

29:51Ben Mandelker: No, no, I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this. Fuck everyone. Everyone be careful. I'm going down to the galley and I'm going to do the meals. Violent thing known to man. Throwing a tea towel at the refrigerator. Be careful. Give me some space. He tells everybody, fuck y 'all.

30:06Ronnie Karam: Go fuck yourself. So he storms off and throws the towel. And Fraser's like, I told you not to say that. I literally just said, she was, oh, I didn't understand what was it. You said, no.

30:19Ben Mandelker: Barbara, these are the consequences of your actions right now. Do you understand? Do you understand what I go through? No, it's nice.

30:28Ronnie Karam: Anthony's down there like, I'm going to serve you fucking lunch because it's treating me like a little bitch. I'm sick of being a little bitch, little boy, can't read. Oh, really? Oh, really? I'm going to feed you dyslexia. Enjoy this dyslexia soup. So now Jess goes to chase him down. And she's like, just ignore them. They don't understand. I took witness of their action. He's like, it's fine. It's fine. I just need to, you know, I need to have feet and then I'm fine. Okay, I'm fine.

30:56Ben Mandelker: Yes, I just need, it'll be fine. I'll be fine. Okay. They're like, come on, come on. It's okay. It's okay. Come up. And Frieza was like, she didn't realize you were sensitive to that. She didn't know you had to make more food. Come on. It's all right. It's all right. Here, I promise that after this meeting, I'll help you shave your eyebrows even more narrow, okay? We're going full Joan Crawford today. All right, all right. I will do that. I will come upstairs with you. All right. So he comes back upstairs. He's like, sorry, everyone. I freak out. I overheat. But everything is okay now. They're like, okay, geez.

31:28Ronnie Karam: Meanwhile, everybody else is like, guys, let's try to guess how much tip there will be. I think a million dollars. I think it's going to be$45 ,000. and Kerry comes in, he's like, good news, we got money. Bad news. God, Wednesday spent it all on. Crap, what a terrible season. Waste of my life. All right, listen, I want to thank everyone for working hard. Unfortunately, the guests, in their mind, they punished us for the boat not moving, which I don't think is fair, because as you saw, Hugo stood on the side of the boat, scratching his head for about three hours, which I think is worth something.

32:04Ronnie Karam: So, unfortunately, we got 19 grand, which is$14.61 each. Tomorrow, we'll test the new controllers, and the guests are coming the next day. So, cheer up, everybody. Tomorrow's a better day.

32:18Ben Mandelker: Yeah, like, okay, well, I'm going to go to make food, and I'm sorry again for my compartment. That will not happen again. Oh, Anthony, sorry, I had to throw one more tea towel at something, and Fraylor, you are the one.

32:33Ronnie Karam: because Barbara told me you are mean to me that one time i'm so sick of taking the blame so um he serves this great lunch now and now everybody's like holy shit i was like holy shit this is great probably the best group food we've ever had amazing yeah they like this this now

32:50Ben Mandelker: because he now like compensates he just needed to draw a little bit of blood and now he's like back to like making amazing lunches so then we have this whole slow-mo dramatic thing where kyle uh goes for some was that johnny walker that he grabbed and he starts pouring it in slow motion and then like voices in his head being like you're almost fired like oh you're terrible kyle are like consequences of your actions and he's haunted by it all yeah it's like as he drinks we

33:25Ronnie Karam: see all of his horrible horrible thoughts swirling in his mouth so then they go to the mimosa lounge and kyle is shit-faced already he probably went through that whole bottle he's got dark eyes he's squinting and he stands up and gives a speech he's like it's been a pleasure an absolute pleasure I'm glad I'm still with you guys and you know sometimes you get away with things in life and I'm really really proud that I got away with this I got away with something I wasn't supposed to get away with

33:58Ben Mandelker: he goes like get away that sounds guilty but I really thought that fucking Frasier would have really really you know done me in so here we are all together and let's have a drink together and Frasier's like um excuse me what did you mean by that he's like oh I didn't mean anything except that you know it's a demo stop pushing me down and so demo's like um well it wasn't phaser's fault it was my fault and phaser's now mad he's like you know what that's not cool it's not cool let me say this in french je ne sais pas bonjour au revoir okay je parle français beaucoup mais vous êtes un stupid shitty bitch asshole bonjour au revoir and then and we see the subtitles

34:41Ronnie Karam: and what he actually said was, God, I'm so fat. And he storms off. He's like, I'm not playing this game. And Carl's being really mean, by the way. Just the way he says it, and he's got this evil look in his eye. He's really being an asshole. And when he tells them both, oh no, it's both your fault. No, Carl, it's your fucking fault. You got shit-faced, you fucked a guest, and then you told everybody you could possibly tell on national TV. You're trying to get fired again. Just quit. Why do people like this always have to make it everybody else's responsibility to make them fail? so you can blame everybody else and be the fucking victim in your life.

35:15Ronnie Karam: Stop doing that. If you want to quit and you want to go be a loser, then do it on your own accord. Stop making everybody else make these choices for you, sir. Okay? If you want to be a loser, go fucking be a loser and stop dragging everybody down with you. Fraser's already enough of an asshole without having you drag him down more.

35:31Ben Mandelker: And also, again, it's your fault, and you're going to pretend like you're... What you're really showing is that you don't take accountability, So everything that you said to Captain Kerry was also bullshit, which means that, you know, last week your whole thing was that the choice was either that you cross the line with the guests or you are full of bullshit. And we thought the bullshit was bad enough that you should be fired. But now you're also now you're just compounding the bullshit by lying about being accountable about the bullshit you said anyway, which we all think is a lie anyway. So the point is that you're just like shit.

36:05Ben Mandelker: You're just like garbage.

36:06Ronnie Karam: So like, yeah, you're acting like garbage. you need to cut that shit off and Fraser's like I'm pissed if anyone needs to be held accountable it's silly now please I will not be villainized please get these cameras away please and Jess goes over to him and she's like yes please we don't want cameras anywhere near us on this television show about drama please keep the cameras away no ma 'am you've gotten away with an entire season of fucking people over and you've got an entire charter where you didn't have to do dick except complain about stuff and make out. You don't get to tell the people who've actually been on their feet working to go away.

36:43Ronnie Karam: That's not your that's no.

36:46Ben Mandelker: No you don't get to do that so go away and but at the same time these are the consequences of Carl's actions on Fraser so please cameras go away please please don't show spoiler like this. I mean Fraser like this. Fraser is a spoiler of himself.

37:07Ronnie Karam: All right. Well, that brings us to the end of Below Dick, everybody.

40:39Ronnie Karam: I mean, I just have. It is delicious. Caesar sauce is like a Parmesan, garlicky blend with some lemon in it. And you can dip anything in there.

40:47Ben Mandelker: One thing I have been known to do is to stop over at McDonald's and go to the drive-thru and get myself a Caesar snack wrap and just dip some fries in the Caesar sauce. Also, the crispy strips in the Caesar sauce. Honestly, try it. It's really good.

41:02Ronnie Karam: Listen, I say if you put Caesar sauce on something, that automatically makes it better. Yes, that's really all you need is the Caesar sauce.
