0:03Watch what happens when there's so much that happens.

0:21Ronnie Karam: Well, hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens. I'm Ronnie and that's the gorgeous Ben over there. Hello, Ben.

0:28Ben Mandelker: hi ronnie how's it going good how's tricks tricks are good tricks are very good just it's my last morning here in new orleans i'm very sad i'm getting out getting on a plane right after this but uh you know it's happy to get to talk some blow deck med with you before any of that happens

0:50Ronnie Karam: yeah poor vegans vegans just really get the brunt end of the stick on this one sorry vegans people don't hate you enough so we're going to add this episode in i felt so bad for vegans i was like

1:04Ben Mandelker: vegans have made such strides over the past 30 years i remember in the 90s when i think i first became aware of veganism which of course predates the 90s but you know when i remember first learning about veganism and it was like such a hippie thing it was sprouts and weird and sprouts and beans and like that was it and weird strange versions of non-vegan things like a like a seitan ruben from real food daily on real foods daily on on la cienega which was i learned about in 2000 but like either way it was like this crazy crazy hippie food that you had to like live an extreme lifestyle for and now it's become so much more mainstreamed and so inventive and it's like really being viewed as its own cuisine and then and and now this guy comes along and is like makes vegans seem like pushy obnoxious demanding picky like honestly i've never seen a vegan who's

2:04Ronnie Karam: like yeah and no salads fresh greens disgusting how dare you i'm a vegan like really fuck off

2:12Ben Mandelker: dude i think like one thing that we've definitely noticed like on top chef and on this show is that Sometimes chefs are so chefy that when someone says, hey, I'm a vegetarian or I'm vegan, they literally don't know what to do. And they're like, oh, I don't know. Like, here's some iceberg lettuce, you know. And it's like, okay, well, you know, vegans are entitled to have some food that's like inventive and some effort is put into it. But this guy, when he's like, I mean, this is vegan, but it's like all starches. Like, it's not nutritious. Like, I need some minerals. It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no.

2:44Ben Mandelker: That's not part of it. the chef is not responsible for your general wellness. The chef is responsible for putting together a meal that tastes good. It's up to you to find the balance in your life. You take some supplements or some vitamins. I don't go to a steakhouse. I need to eat some steak and then say, well, this steak is fine, but I'm not feeling this is a well-balanced meal. I need some salads to go along with this. No, no, that's on you. That's not on the chef.

3:12Ronnie Karam: like who says as a as a criticism of dinner where are my minerals yeah i've literally never heard

3:19Ben Mandelker: that where are my greens and i don't mean salad i mean like where are my hearty greens it's like well where was it on your preference salad are literally greens and then he was serving big

3:31Ronnie Karam: plates of vegetables too and he's like no not those kind oh my god i can't you know some i think some people just choose whatever it is veganism or whatever the little you know niche is to just have that control over people you know that like yeah you have to like be you have to make everything special for me and my entire family you know and obviously not everybody's like that but there are those people that just need control and attention who will use any little thing to just jump on and

4:01Ben Mandelker: this guy is definitely one of those people and these were like actually like by and large as as a group. These were generally picky eaters, but they were nicely picky. They were like, oh, you know what? Could you fry these oysters instead? But this guy was just like, no, I'm going to have a little paratroop with my vegan food and I'm going to complain the entire time. And on top of that, it's like, I'm going to be the one to have a more difficult diet and then I'm going to complain the most and make it even more demanding than it already is. And that's, of course the reputation that vegans already have whether it's like whether it's you know valid or not that is reputation and he just really kind of like anyone who already was like stupid vegans you know they're definitely not getting a revision of their opinions based on this guy

4:49Ronnie Karam: well i guess to make it fair at least the non-vegans are assholes too because i don't agree that that just oh go fry these oysters like that's not a request that's a bullseye You don't just go fry up an oyster. It takes batter. It takes oil. It takes a lot of stuff that's not already prepared. To sit down at dinner and be like, no, you need to fry those oysters instead. He should have known. It's just gross. I think they're just gross. This is a gross group.

5:15Ben Mandelker: I don't think I would be mortified if someone served me raw oysters. And I was like, can you fry these instead? I'd be mortified to make that request. But I'm saying that they made their requests. but then they once they got their requests they were generally well i don't know i gotta read the notes again maybe i'm like blocking it out maybe i'm just so mad at this vegan that i'm like just automatically making the other people seem nicer but i feel like once they got their request they were they just then they ate their food they were like i got my request but this guy was just like nothing was satisfying to him and i think that he was and again he wasn't the primary what a shock he was the friend that was brought along and is on a power trip yeah well here we go below

5:56Ronnie Karam: Below Deck Med Season. Oh, well, before we get into that, if you want these on video, crappin's on demand. That's also where you get our bonus episodes. Thanks to everyone who joined us on Amazon Live last night. We will be doing that again in a couple of weeks. And Monday is crappy hour at 530 Pacific. That's our live show on YouTube Live, Instagram, and Patreon. It's all free everywhere. Join us for that every other week. That's where we talk to you. Talk about Bravo headlines, etc., etc. Okay, so let's get into this. This is Below Deck Med Season 10, Episode 5. Let the games vegan. So Nathan and Sandy are on the bridge talking, and Sandy's like, okay, here's your big choice.

6:37Ronnie Karam: We got Dum Dum and Dum Dum. So which one do you want to get rid of? The Dum Dum with terrible hair or the Dum Dum with the big eyes who thinks everyone's given him its number? Choose. Choose.

6:47Ben Mandelker: This is your choice as a leader, Nathan. Well, it's necessary for the whole operation of the boat and the safety of the guests that we got rid of Tessa and Christian. Whoa, that's half your team. I mean, that's like saying, hey, I want to take your pants and want to cut off the part right between the ankle and the shin. But now that I say that, that's kind of a great idea. Okay, let's go for it. All right, cut it off.

7:13Ronnie Karam: I haven't done something this bold since I had Malia frame Han Anda.

7:20Ben Mandelker: I can see Max getting frustrated with Christian and Tassa, but he's also trying to remain positive. And then I'm getting frustrated as well because it's just not good enough. Okay, I love this. You're such a good leader. These are leader choices. Yeah, and if I had time to train them up, I would. But I feel like they're miles off of it. I have a question. When these things happen, I know that people are entitled to their off time and their leisure time. but when it's in between charters why isn't there a sense of like you guys didn't earn your downtime tonight like we are going to tonight we are going to be going over the knots and this and that like why can't there be punishment right or is it just like an anti is that like a not is that like an employment issue this is why unions were invented ben like doesn't doesn't it feel like it should be kind of like a you guys fucked up so therefore you're not allowed to go party tonight we're not have dinner coming right back we're gonna have dinner and then come back and we're working knots all night long like is that yeah but this is the kind of job where you kind of have to know

8:23Ronnie Karam: what you're doing like they need to hire people who know what they're doing they can't just be hiring people on instagram which is kind of how below deck has been running the past few seasons it's like let's just hire hot people from instagram who will fuck each other a lot and like they also have to know how to you know tie knots and you know drive boats so um they should start there. So she's like, wow, what a leader. Fire everybody. Yeah, let's do it. No one gets their SNAP benefits this month. Leader. So she's like, it's the first time Bosan, you know, making this call. It's very difficult, but I'm going to trust it because it's Nathan, you know, and if you got monk hair, you should treat him like a monk.

9:01Ronnie Karam: And I trust monks. So not monkeys. Oh God, monkeys are crazy. Those things will steal a banana right out of your hand. Won't they? They're cute, but don't trust them. I'm telling you that right now. What was I talking about? Yeah, well, I've witnessed Nathan. He's been educating his team. I really like that class he gave where he stood on the edge of the boat and went, oh no, oh no, oh no, over and over again. That was a really great TED Talk. But you know, we need some people who can understand direction and that's not happening with Tessa and Christian, okay? One of them's like a mop with a wig on and the other one, God, I don't even know about him, but I think I saw him hitting on a dolphin.

9:40Ben Mandelker: I feel like we never saw a scene of Nathan being like, you guys need to get your shit together. I'm sick of saying this to you, okay? Like, Tessa, you're just standing around doing nothing. You're not refueling. We're going to go through this all. But instead, it's like, Sandy's like, I've been seeing you talking to them. I've been seeing you teaching them. And what we'll see is Nathan saying to Tessa, Tessa, don't forget to refuel next time, okay, Tessa? It's like a, which should be enough, by the way. And I'm not saying that Tessa and Christian shouldn't be fired because they are two dum-dums.

10:12Ben Mandelker: But I'm also like, I think that like maybe Nathan could step up a little bit in terms of, you know, urgency in teaching, et cetera. Nathan wasn't really ready to step up.

10:25Ronnie Karam: You know, it's like the below deck thing where they think the audience wants, and I think that they're right, that the audience wants to see people move up and excel, right? Like you want to see someone like, wow, now it's just Chief Stew. Like that was really cool. You know, we want those moments. But they have to be kind of earned moments. And they've got a lot of unearned moments. Like the Fraser, I think, was kind of an unearned one. And Fraser was definitely unearned. And then we see Nathan, which is kind of unearned. It's like, well, he was a happy-go-lucky fun guy. Let's just make him the bosun next time.

10:58Ronnie Karam: And I don't think he was ready for it. Yeah. So this isn't just Tessa and Christian. It's also Nathan and then Max. I mean, on any other season, Max would have been the biggest disaster because of his attitude and his screaming and losing it and trying to boss everybody around. And the fact that Max is looked at as this great employee is hilarious, and that really goes to show where this season's at.

11:21Ben Mandelker: Yeah, exactly. I mean, I think that Nathan, in many ways, is very good. I mentioned, I think, last episode that I was impressed with how calm he remained while Max was losing his mind. but um he like there are times when it's good to sort of like add a little bit of fire to your voice so sandy is like you know times like this is it's never easy okay oh by the way okay so uh hey um dum-dums to the uh the bridge we'll start with christian okay um all those who uh are gonna still have a job in an hour uh uh step forward and not so fast christian so uh times like this It's never easy for me, okay, ever.

11:57Ben Mandelker: But safety is non-negotiable. It's number one. We all know that. So at this point, Christian, I'm letting you go. And it looks like you've already let yourself go. How did he wind up floating out into the water already onto that jet ski? Wow, he just sort of, kind of, that was pretty easy. When I said I'm going to let you go, I didn't really mean literally, but I guess you're already out there in the water. So good luck to you, sir.

12:22Ronnie Karam: Yeah. And he's like, whoa, thanks so much. Great being here. Yeah. Well, you know, it's just safety because you're great. I don't want you to think you're bad because you're great. I'm firing a great person today. A great person is going home. You are a very hard winker, worker, worker. Did I say winker? Sorry. It's my inside voice. You're a very hard worker, winker. So get out of here. Skedaddle and do great. Do do great, mediocre work somewhere else. They're going to love you. God, you could tell that one goal. but someone else has gained someone mediocre.

12:56Ben Mandelker: He's totally happy with this decision. He's like, oh, thanks so much. It was wonderful. Really a great honor. Like that's what he was like, please, please fire me. I don't want to be here anymore, but I also don't want to be a quitter. So he was thrilled. He literally was like, bye. So then, you know, next is like, okay, Tessa, Tessa, make your way up to Captain's Quarters. I'd like to meet you, by the way. I don't think I've met you yet so far. So first of all, I just want to say hello. Second of all, just say, you know, it's hard. It's hard, Tessa. But, you know, from what I've observed in speaking with Nathan, it's completely chaotic, your hair.

13:35Ben Mandelker: I can't tell if I like it better down or up. It looks crazy in both ways. How did you do that?

13:40Ronnie Karam: You've just used so much hairspray. And for that reason, I got to let you go. Okay? Get out of here, dead eyes. and uh she's like uh so you know gotta make a change uh so get out you know and i know you come from a big boat your family's a family of catamarans a camera a cam a catamaran which is great you know but on this boat you're more like a cantamaran okay and i don't know how to drive those so i'm gonna need you to just uh get out of here okay i also didn't love that picture of you on the four wheel are covered in mud while you're wearing a bikini. That just seems unsafe for the road. So I know this isn't a road, but because of your behavior as a teenager, I've got to let you go.

14:22Bye.

14:23Ben Mandelker: Oh, and one last thing. Santa Claus is real, so go fuck off.

14:31Ronnie Karam: She's like, I can't believe this. This is unbelievable. Well, thank you for the chance, but I'm excited to go back to the boys. I miss the boys on that farm.

14:40Ben Mandelker: Wait, I can't believe I hate all this time. I'm already like, fuck her, because I don't really need her help. I just need the boys. I just need those McBee boys. It's so, so amazing watching them grow up so quickly. So, I'm saying, love, it is a blessing when you're having a sailor dressing.

14:59Ronnie Karam: Sandy, I want to say one more thing before I go. You are the wind beneath my... Okay, get out of here, Tessa. Okay, with your shitty little wedding band. Go back to Gallatin or whatever the fuck that place is called. Gelatin, I don't know. Get out.

15:12Ben Mandelker: based on her face, I thought that for sure she'd be Australian. So it's surprising that she had that Missouri accent. Okay. Okay. Well, guess what? Uh, now we, uh, know that down two decades, what could possibly happen? Okay. Oh man. What a, what a funny twist, but, uh, let me hold on one second. Uh, Nathan, you're gonna have to leave the room about to do some serious texting here. Okay. Bloop. Hey Norma. I'm in a pinch, sort of like your belt says to you every day, huh? I need two deckhands in Barcelona. Do you have anyone available? Bloop.

15:45Ronnie Karam: Oh, hey there, Sandy. Wow, speaking of pinching, I knew you were going to call because I felt a pinched nerve in my neck. Really hurt. So glad to see the pain's on the phone. Hi, good to see you. Good to talk to you. Thanks for the sweet hello before you started asking me for shit. You know, it would be nice to have one season where you were just capable of doing some hiring on your own without relying on me within the first week. Bloop. Bloop.

16:08Ben Mandelker: Speaking of pinches, I guess you really had a pinch me moment where for the first time in 17 years, someone actually responded to one of your personal ads, huh? Congratulations. Bloop. Bloop.

16:18Ronnie Karam: Yeah. Hope you're happy with that wife who's probably pinching your wallet. Okay. I've never heard a one-year wonder saying BB so much over text. So that sounds real realistic. Okay. Good luck with your rent-a-bride. Okay. Bloop. Bloop.

16:33Ben Mandelker: Oh, by the way, I just got a text from Olive Garden. And they wanted me to tell you that next time when you ask for a pinch of butter, that doesn't mean a whole stick. And they didn't appreciate you yelling at the waiters like that. Okay, thank you. Bloop. Bloop.

16:47Ronnie Karam: Speaking of Olive Garden, they called and they want their uniform pants back. Okay, polyester polyester poly. Jeez. Bloop. Bloop.

16:56Ben Mandelker: Talk about uniform. More like you don't form any sexual experiences anymore. Am I right? Bloop. Bloop.

17:09Ronnie Karam: You know what? Thankfully, I don't need sexual experiences because I've got my hands. Unfortunately, you don't have any hands. Deck hands, that is. So maybe I should watch your lip until I get you one. Bloop. Bloop.

17:22Ben Mandelker: That's fair. That's fair. Okay, just find me a deck hand, okay? If you want, you can finish that bowl of mac and cheese before you get out there looking. Okay, thanks.

17:32Ronnie Karam: Oh, so you need two deck hands. Okay, wow. Wow, you're double incompetent this season. It's glad to see they're upping the game over there at Bravo.

17:39Ben Mandelker: Bloop. Well, I'm only as competent as the idiots you send me along, but I can understand if you couldn't quite read their CVs after you spilled all that marinara sauce all over them. Okay, bloop.

17:53Ronnie Karam: Okay, well, I'll just be on OnlyFans trying to find people with boobs big enough to entertain the masses and run a boat. No problem. Bloop. Bloop.

18:02Ben Mandelker: Well, let's not try to ruin the OnlyFans brand By logging on there, Norma Okay, alright, thank you

18:08Ronnie Karam: Bloop Bloop This is Ellie, how dare you Come for my OnlyFans account Unbelievable Bloop

18:18Ben Mandelker: This is Bri I don't know where I put the OnlyFans I can't find my OnlyFans account

18:26Ronnie Karam: Okay, I quit Just find me Could you also look for a new captain? I can't text anymore Bloop wins on.

18:32Ben Mandelker: Bloop. Bloop. This is the consequences of my actions. Bloop. Yes, we're not even on this franchise.

18:45Ronnie Karam: It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappens commercial.

18:54Ronnie Karam: All right, so now we cut to Nathan and Max, and Nathan tells them that they've been fired, and Max is like, wow. Oh, okay, let's go. Let's work. Fuck yeah, this is amazing. Your best captain ever. Like firing two person because, well, you know, with them, we would have sunk your boat.

19:13Ben Mandelker: So Max is so happy about this. So he runs down and tells Kizzy and she's like, what? Oh, we just lose two crew members. Who? Who? Christian? Huh? Tess? Yeah? Oh, no. Oh, no. I have to pretend like I've actually had some sort of relationship with Tess. So Kizzy, who I don't think anyone's talked to Tess this entire season, she runs down to Tess and she's like, Are you fucking joking me? Are you joking me? This is terrible. I can't have someone who's less hot than me leave this boat because you totally make me seem hotter. Now what am I going to do?

19:51Ronnie Karam: She said she wasn't happy with me, so she showed me the dribble door. And now V comes downstairs because she's heard all this stuff. And Josh is just waking up, you know, with a clown nose on. Like, what is going on? So everyone's like, oh, my God, I can't believe you were fired. Oh, my God, this is crazy. And then Max goes to Christian's cabin. And he's like, ah. He's got a huge smile on his face. What a dick. He's such an asshole. And Christian says, you know, whoa, what's that face about? And he's like, oh, but I just know the news. Yeah, man, I don't know. I don't know, man. I tried to warn you like one million times, but now you are fired.

20:33Ben Mandelker: What a dick. What a total dick. I have to tell you, the record on French people on blow deck these days is not great between Max and Solaine. So Christian is like, yeah, okay, well, get a new deck and try to hypnotize him, see how that goes. Okay, I'm going back to having sex in a different place. so um kizzy's like i can't believe that tessa's leaving even though i never even got to have a conversation with her ever but still it's so sad to see her leave and they're like bye and everyone's like hugging them and everything and you know christian i'm sad he left because

21:09Ronnie Karam: i was watching a movie last night by the way most disturbing movie i've seen in a long time don't watch it i'm not recommending anyone watch this because you'll blame me for being triggered I watched that one the other day. That one was fine. It was okay. This one was called Bring Her Back. Oh, my God. Disturbing as fuck. So anyway, I was watching it. And then a preview came on for a movie. And it was a Wes Anderson movie with Benicio Del Toro where he's dying. I guess he's afraid he's going to die. And so he's getting all his children to take over his business. Who cares about the plot? But the main thing is that Benicio Del Toro flies planes and he's always crashing the planes.

21:47Ronnie Karam: And he survived like 10 crashes. And so he's just like, well, I'm going to die. So I guess I better get my kids ready to take over. And I totally thought of Christian. This is where Christian is going. He's going back to just crash more planes. Because I'm still convinced that Christian is just crashing planes. And that's why he's on boats now instead of planes.

22:07Ben Mandelker: Yeah. Christian literally says, well, my dad has been in over 20 aircraft accidents. And with all the scratches of blood and glass in his skin, this feels way worse than he described them. like uh is your dad you let me know what airline your dad flies for just for future edification can we just can we just can we can we rewind that part your dad's been in 20 aircraft accidents but i almost want to do like does like am i i'm like trying to imagine is there a world where there's a positive spin on that like oh well you know like you have to like have an emergency landing does that count as an aircraft axe no no that's it's not a great feature i don't love or

22:50Ronnie Karam: is he just like incontinent is he maybe like having accidents on the plane i don't know i think his dad probably doesn't love this he's going on tv like yeah my dad has crashed his plane like 20 times it's probably not the best thing to be bragging on i know so tessa's like

23:10Ben Mandelker: Well, this is sad. I mean, maybe I could have had more confidence on the deck, but I just was so weary of like where I stood on the deck team. Like, I hope on the next boat, like my bosom believes in me and the Dribbledore and has half a brain cell. I wish he was more like those big B-boys. But gosh, watching them grow up and become a big man who punched Hillside. That is what an honor it is for me. Okay, I really do wish Nathan all the best, and I'm sure he'll do great. Oh, boy, God. I'm just like, I need to leave this boat now.

23:39Ronnie Karam: yeah but she's like rolling her eyes like he sucks and this is all leadership this is all leadership's fault tessa you don't know how to do anything you don't know how to fill up a fucking a car you know what i mean like a vehicle you don't know how to fill up gas you're gone okay stop blaming everybody else so bye so she leaves and um max hugs her you know he's very surprised no one is surprised max stop and so she's out and i'm impressed that they fired them both and I'm glad. So now let's see who else we get. Let's text potential deckhand number one. Hey, what are you up to? I have an opening on a deck in Barcelona.

24:14Ronnie Karam: Please tell me that you have no experience but are hot because you're hired. I'm telling you right now. Okay. Is your CV a cute vase? Okay. Not vase. I just, it's not a CF. I'm a cute vase. Okay. Do you have a cute vase? Just pretend I say cute vase. Okay. You're hired. Come on.

24:32Ben Mandelker: And then we got a text back from the potential deckhand that says says, thank you so much for thinking of me. I brought my friend Gertie along. Can she come too? No, I'm sorry. Only room for one deckhand, unfortunately. Well, we are hiring two, but yeah, only room for one.

24:46Ronnie Karam: Is this Coherty a lesbian professional tennis player? Then no. Okay. She'll have to eat at the Olive Garden next door. Oh, by the way, while she's there, could you ask them if they have any extra uniform pants? God, I love those.

25:00Ben Mandelker: But I did hear that they are out of butter because someone asked for a quote-unquote pinch of it. And they were marinara that they got over some resumes. So then potential duck hand number two. Hey, good to hear from you. I'm reading out loud the text that I received, by the way. I didn't text them because that'd be weird if I said good to hear from you when I was texting them initially. Anyway, they say, good to hear from you. I'm sorry, but I'm not available right now. I'm on Charter. Okay. Wow, that was a stern rejection from Gigi Fernandez. I didn't like that one bit.

25:32Ronnie Karam: And now deckhand number three Hey you available? I need a good deckhand in Barcelona Preferably without any experience But a nice butt And they're like hey Captain Sandy I could be available in three weeks Would that work? And she's like oh Jeez God Bless it Christmas crackers Shoot Shoot I'm sorry for cursing I don't know if that'll work That's the end of the season

26:02Ben Mandelker: meanwhile uh josh is talking to asia and he's saying about how when he first got into yachting he didn't realize how ruthless it was and asia says well it's like you either do the job or you're gone and that's the way i like it you really got to fear for nathan when the most competent member of his team voluntarily rubbed jellyfish all over his face and the other two Both on fire. That's just so bad.

26:33Ben Mandelker: Which is a fair point, by the way. A very fair point.

26:37Ronnie Karam: And it was great because we saw the clip of Max doing it again, which was great. Ooh, look, jellyfish. Poop, poop. Wipes his eyes. Oh, my God. That's not even mine. So then Max is complaining already. He's like, oh, we are just a wipple. How will I do this? So then now we see Captain Sandy still getting texts back from people. Sorry for the delay. I was just actually dropping off our last charter in Valencia. God, California is just so far from you. But I would love to work with you again, Captain Sandy. Unfortunately, the yacht I've been driving is stuck on a freeway. That's something.

27:15Ben Mandelker: I would love to join. But I am in Valencia, California, which means that I've just got to go to the Red Lobster up there and then hit up Magic Mountain real quickly. So if you can wait for me to do the Batman roller coaster, I will be right there with you. Oh, well, that has some potential, I got to say. You know, I love a deck that can handle a roller coaster.

27:36Ronnie Karam: Wow. Someone saying they can't come to work until they've had five orders of cheesy biscuits? What are you, Norma?

27:46Ben Mandelker: So Kizzy, V is wondering if Captain Sandy saw that V has deck experience. And Kizzy's like, well, are you going to go ask to be on deck? She's like, yeah, but I'm a little intimidated because people who have more experience than me just left. So I don't really know. But of course, Kizzy is pushing for this because Kizzy wants to be the star of the interior. And V is getting all the attention. So she is advocating for her to get on out on the deck.

28:12Ronnie Karam: Yeah, she's like, yeah, but you didn't have experience when you came in here. And you're still smashing it in here, aren't you? No, it's smashing it a little too hard. if you ask me, get the fuck out of here. Not higher. So she wants her out of there and Sandy and also someone just wanting to be on deck so badly is funny. She's like, oh my god, all I want to do is work outside all day and mop the side of a boat. Please.

28:35Ben Mandelker: Please. Kizzy's Kizzy basically announces that she's planted a seed to get V out there and she's hoping it's going to grow. So then Sandy calls Nathan and Aisha to the bridge and And as they head up there, we have this kind of amazing shot of, it's like one of the stationary cameras that's just like one of the GoPros on the wall. It's in the crew mess. And we just see the staircase. And we hear Max like, oh, no. And we see like one orange tumble down. And then a second one. And then like 50 oranges go down the staircase. It was like such an amazing shot.

29:15Ronnie Karam: Okay, here we are in the bridge. Well, I've got some news for you. Okay, since we fired two, not one, but two deckhands It's Sweeps Month I found you a replacement He's a real good deckhand He's experienced He will literally fuck a doorknob His name is Joe

29:32Ben Mandelker: Oh, Joe Oh, I love that you did this for Sweeps Month It'll be so good for the ratings At this pivotal time for advertisers Oh, no Sweeps Month means it's the month where you get more people to sweep things So, yeah, Joe's coming on board

29:47Ronnie Karam: Joe's coming for Sweeps Month And guess what? You know, I know it might creep some people out. Just warn everybody on deck that Joe will smile at them with his teeth touching each other perfectly. Like an odd little child smiling for his first picture. Okay?

30:03Ben Mandelker: You know what's great about Joe when he smiles? He can't tell if he's smiling or frowning. It's just what you project onto him. He's just like that one emoji. That's just like an oval with teeth in it.

30:12Ronnie Karam: Just tell people every time you make Joe laugh, he's going to try showing off his flossing skills. because that's basically what he's doing every time he smiles. He's like, hello.

30:21Ben Mandelker: Hello, it's me, Joe. It's me, Joe. You know, I don't want to – I had a vision in the future that we might not be able to leave the dock tonight, but if the guests get bored, they can just stare at Joe's face long enough until they can't tell the difference between Joe's face and chicken run. It's really fun.

30:40Ronnie Karam: Oh, it's so sad we've lost two kind, lovely people today. But how cool that Joe's coming back. Yeah, me and Joe, we're on a whole different level. And so we see wacky scenes of Nathan and Joe being like wacky boys together. They have a bromance, guys. They have one of those infamous below deck bromances that we just can't get enough of on this show. I know.

31:05Ben Mandelker: It's like all of the Bravo fandom was like, when are Nathan and Joe going to be reunited? God, we love the two of them together. Weren't they so hilarious?

31:13Ronnie Karam: That's all I need. I really need a scene of Joe talking about how he really wants Nathan to finger his butthole again. God, that was fun.

31:21Ben Mandelker: Oh, it's like Lucy and Ethel. But the bro version. Like if Lucy had a hairstyle of a monk and Ethel just liked to bang a lot of things. Which, by the way, we all know Ethel did. Let's be honest. Okay.

31:36Ronnie Karam: If Ethel was just hinting most of the time that she wanted a little anal from a roomie. Okay.

31:41Ben Mandelker: It would be basically the same thing. if Ethel were just obsessed with impressing her grandfather god that's what this would be so yeah I forgot that

31:55Ben Mandelker: um anywho where are we okay so Sandy is like we're dead we're dead this isn't even happening we died

32:02Ronnie Karam: a long time ago no one's even on the other end of this phone we're all dead Captain Sandy's like okay well I'm gonna start looking for another deckhand but you know it is August in the middle of the medsummer. You know what that means? Everyone's going back to flying. Oh, wow. I just saw a plane fall out of the sky. Man, that Christian really gets back on the horse quickly. Give him that.

32:25Ben Mandelker: So then I know the only thing that America wants more than Joe and Nathan reunited are scenes of Kizzy texting her boyfriend we've never met and we barely know anything about. Tommy. So here she goes. He texts and says, I hated today. She goes, don't worry. I promise it won't be this hectic the whole time. Great love. So enthralling. So he is another one of these below deck boyfriends who gets jealous that his girlfriend is not around and then guilts her because she's off doing her job. It's a pretty big trope on this show

33:11Ronnie Karam: Yeah, dump Tommy Tommy's a loser

33:13Ben Mandelker: Yeah, get rid of Tommy Just let it up like you want to

33:17Ronnie Karam: And Aisha mentions that it's bad weather to Sandy And she's like, oh my god, I didn't even see this in the TV guide Does that mean wind is coming out? Gotta get to my screen

33:27Ben Mandelker: There's showers Oh my god, showers By the way, speaking of bad weather Did you see that footage of the special airplane That went into the eye of Hurricane Melissa

33:37Ronnie Karam: that was that they were showing today i did i just watched that yes i remember seeing that cloud that they're inside right yeah what was that movie the day after tomorrow the day after

33:48Ben Mandelker: morning after tomorrow or whatever where like like terrible weather hits the world and it all freezes over and there was like a moment where like a big hurricane like hit and they like they sort of like they created that imagery but this was real and i was like wow i was like wow I didn't know it was so calm inside a hurricane. Yeah. The eye of the hurricane is famously where it's super calm. So like when the eye passes over, everything calms down and you're like, oh my God, the hurricane's over. But it's actually not. I think the other side of it is supposed to be even worse.

34:18Ronnie Karam: I wanted to visit. I was like, that looks lovely, the eye of the hurricane. It's just so calm and peaceful. It's like a wall of clouds. And then, you know, I guess it's not. It's crazy. It doesn't end well. But the upshore was pretty on the inside.

34:33Ben Mandelker: Yeah. Well, I hope everyone in Jamaica is okay because they're saying they're going to get hit really hard. So, you know. Yeah.

34:37Ronnie Karam: I was really worried for Jamaica looking at that. That's not. I mean, that thing was huge. They said it's 10 miles. That's wild. The eye of the hurricane was 10 miles in the diameter. That's crazy, right? That's crazy. Jesus Christ.

34:50Ben Mandelker: Yeah. I hope everyone's going to be okay. Yeah, that's scary. Okay. So back to this stupid. We hope people's houses aren't destroyed and people don't lose their lives. Anyway, back to Captain Sandy. Hey, what's going on then? I know. Geez. Thanks for the upper, Ben. Nice pivot. The Pivot Award, the best pivot Of Q4 Goes to Ben Mandelger Talking about blow deck sailing So V is asking Nathan about the team What's on the team And she basically throws her hat in the ring And is that the expression? Hat in the ring? She throws a hat, it lands somewhere Yeah, you throw your hat in the ring

35:26Ronnie Karam: You throw your ring with a hat She threw a ring The cowboy's like, ouch! yeah you throw your hat in the ring she's like so who's your team tomorrow Nathan he's like I don't know she goes how do you feel about me switching sides you a fucking turncoat that's how I feel no I just mean coming from the outside to the inside sorry sorry okay well you know I've just like I've had one week of actual deck and safety on an 80 foot yacht decks do on a 100 foot yacht but you know I have done lines and fenders so you're obviously going to have to teach me a couple of things but you know I do pick things up quickly.

36:01Ronnie Karam: And he's like, I'll think about it. Quick question. Go ahead, Ben. Sorry.

36:04Ben Mandelker: You'll see a beautiful jolly fish floating along. What do you do? I touch it, then touch my eye. Well, I guess that's good enough. You're on the team.

36:14Ronnie Karam: Good enough to be lead that time, Ben. All right. I'll think about it. I'll chat with the captain later to see with anyone. I was going to go in there now, but all I can hear from her, from the bridge is BB, BB, and BB over and over again. Hey, BB. Hey, baby. You're the sexiest, sexiest cutie pie face.

36:36Ben Mandelker: So now everyone's getting ready to go out for the evening. Kizzy puts her fist in her mouth because why not? And they all have fun. They get into cars. And Max is like, oh, in two months, I have sex just one time. And Kizzy's like, oh, God, it's going to be a long six weeks. I mean, there are these attractive guys parading around the boat And I want to have my cake and eat it That's not the right thing to do It's not fair on Tom It's so hard having a conscience I'm sure Commercials Here comes one right now

37:21Ronnie Karam: So they go to dinner And now, you know, Max is picking up Kizzy and they're flirting and everybody eats and drinks and they cheers each other and they've got a deckhand replacement and it's Joe. So they announce that at dinner and Nathan says that he's my best friend. He's my best friend. He's your best friend so I can be my best friend too. I'm sorry Buddha's busy.

37:49Ben Mandelker: So Kizzy is like do you think Joe's going to be in love with her? Or is he going to be in love with me? he, he, he, he, I'm a flirt. And Nathan's like, I don't know. He could be. Which, like, I'm just counting down to the moment where Joe says, oh, God, Kizzy. Oh, I'm going to be in trouble here. Oh, God, Kizzy is trouble. Oh, everyone's trouble. It's the classic fuckboy thing. Yeah, that's what we're best.

38:15Ronnie Karam: I was coming here trying to be a good guy. Now everybody's going to get me in trouble.

38:20Ben Mandelker: Yeah, that's what they always say. They take themselves out of, like, the causality. Like, everyone's going to get me in trouble. So, but then Josh reminds Kizzy, like, but you're taking goods. He's not going to fall for you. He's not going to go for you because you're taking goods. And she's like, like, so mad. So mad that he, like, brings up that inconvenient fact for her that she loves to brandish at the last second.

38:44Ronnie Karam: He's like, but I love, it's so nice to have people love you. I just love love. I just love love. So we go back to the boat.

38:54Ben Mandelker: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Norma. Sorry, I was going to say back at the boat and Sandy's texting Norma. Hey, Norma, quick update. It's Friday night and you're still at home watching reruns of Just the Ten of Us. Okay, TGIF is over, bitch. Bye. Bloop.

39:08Ronnie Karam: Oh, hey there. Yeah, it's better than listening to the nonstop idiotic radio show that is BBBBBB. That you seem to be playing nonstop over there. Bloop.

39:20Ben Mandelker: Hey, you know what? I didn't really hear what you said because my connection broke up. were you trying to eat my wi-fi again hey there uh filled one deck position okay so that's good

39:35Ronnie Karam: i've heard that from you uh great good for you filled one deck position okay so i guess uh you're gonna do your job badly again and then i'll be sitting here ready to pick up the pieces when it

39:45Ben Mandelker: all falls apart again bloop pick up the pieces when it all falls apart again are you talking about your Oreos again? God, I love watching you chase those things across the kitchen floor. Bloop. Bloop.

39:59Ronnie Karam: Fuck you, Kinkles. It's late at night, okay? I'm on the horn here trying to find someone on OnlyFans. You know how hard it is shopping for deckhands when you got a boner?

40:11Ronnie Karam: Did you die? Bloop.

40:16Ben Mandelker: I think that weather's coming in. I can't quite hear you, Norma. I just assumed you tried to diss me so just pretend i dissed you back and uh just know i love you i love you and don't get too lonely tonight hold on i'm gonna go text my wife that i have because i went on a date that was successful that went to future dates anyway i know that's foreign experience for you but

40:36Ronnie Karam: okay what are you spending time in the eye of a hurricane over there sandy geez well congratulations you know the eye of the hurricane has found something actually more sucking than it is wow

40:50Ben Mandelker: I think you're thinking about tornadoes but that's okay I know listen if there's anyone who got excited for that Twisters movie it was you huh but that's because you probably thought it was a movie about tomatoes not tornadoes but hey that's okay

41:07Ronnie Karam: it was a movie about pretzels you dumb bitch

41:12Ronnie Karam: so now the crew is heading out to go party and they're gonna do shots you guys and Max and Kizzy are still 30 And so Aisha is talking to Josh about how he feels And you know, clowns have feelings, you guys And she's like, just remember, you don't have to do everything the guests say Because they don't appreciate it anyway And he's like, yeah, you know, people send things back Like, this is a fear driver for me, you know what I mean? Like, I just don't want that shit to happen So I think I try to probably just go a bit too much, you know Maybe I just need to pull back a little bit

41:46Ben Mandelker: just like doing things to excellence but like on a smaller variety like you're gonna burn yourself

41:53Ronnie Karam: out otherwise like yeah here's what i want you to concentrate on all right mediocrity that's really what you need to get your arms around embrace it listen normally i would have

42:08Ben Mandelker: to strive for excellence but you part-time do clown work so we really know we have a certain ceilings and let's not try to go above that okay

42:20Ronnie Karam: max and nathan are chatting and max is talking um about joe he's like is it going to be the same with joe here is everything going to change like what the hell and he's like well you need to keep your emotions and see if we can work together as a team and then i can see you in a leadership

42:36Ben Mandelker: position i can i can see you going far of course of course and joe joe's your friend bro huh joe's your friend, huh?

42:45Ronnie Karam: Yeah, but I have to think professional because you've proven so much, but I want you to correct the emotional part. That's the thing. Show me with a fist bump. Show me with a fist bump. And, bump. Oh, this hurts my fist, you motherfucker. You will pay. Your old family will pay. That's what I'm talking about. You're losing your mind. You can't lose your mind like that.

43:06Ben Mandelker: Max is going to have a total meltdown when Joe becomes the deckhand. I'll say that much. It's going to be a total nightmare. So now everyone goes back to the boat and Nathan's telling Max that he should go after Kizzy. And Max is like, yeah, but she has a boyfriend. And he's like, well, whatever. Fuck it. Go for it. And now people are going to sleep. And Kizzy's like, by the way, Aisha, do you think really quickly, do you think I'm like a fucking idiot for coming on here with a guy that I'm dating for the first time? She's like, well, I mean, you've only been with him a month. And, you know, if you guys are dating, it's only for six months or a year.

43:43Ben Mandelker: I totally get it, but yes, you're a bit of an idiot, aren't you? Good night.

43:51Ronnie Karam: Can I just go to sleep without having to answer stupid questions of stupid girls? Because she's trying to go to bed. She's like, hold on. What about my boyfriend? She's like, for Christ's sake, can I just kindle and go to bed? She's like, can I just watch this video of someone popping a pimple?

44:09Ben Mandelker: Thank you. Yeah.

44:11Ronnie Karam: Well, what I've seen of Kizzy so far, she shouldn't be here with a boyfriend. She's pointing for every guard's attention. And she's like, yeah, but I do have a good connection with both Max and Nathan. So what do I do? What do I do? Oh, my God.

44:29Ronnie Karam: Shut up, Kizzy.

44:31Ben Mandelker: God, read a book. Asha gives, like, the most generic advice just to get out of the conversation. She just goes, this is your life. Good night. it's like I'm not going to provide any insight you're a dumb twit just focus on winddexing things tomorrow thank you very much

44:49Ronnie Karam: so now it's 6am in the morning and Captain Sandy is glued to a television screen because it's season 5 of wind and it's cloudy and it's 7 hours before charter will we get another deckhand? what's going to happen? is the storm going to kill everybody? will Norma ever finish dreaming about pretzels because I said the word twister? god and Josh is getting ready and now Sandy's on the bridge texting Norma. Still no deckhand? Still no deckhand? Still no deckhand? Bloop.

45:21Ben Mandelker: What part of the no new person has walked onto your boat this morning indicates that there is a new deckhand? Okay. No new deckhand, bitch. Let me do my job. Bloop.

45:33Ronnie Karam: Okay. Well, if your job was sitting around doing nothing, I'll tell you what, you would get a raise right now.

45:38Ben Mandelker: Bloop. Bloop. You're lucky that a tornado didn't come for you because guess what? A pretzel could have hit you in the head and knocked you right out of those capri pants, that's for sure. And then it would be a happy camper. Okay, be careful out there, bitch. Bloop.

45:54Ronnie Karam: I know a pretzel would never hit me in the head because once the wind started blowing it towards me, you'd jump up like Lassie and grab it out of the air like magic. Bloop.

46:04Ben Mandelker: Well, at least one of us has emergency around here. Am I right? Please try to not crash your boat again. Bloop.

46:10Ronnie Karam: Oh, I'm so sorry. There's an invisible gush coming around the corner. It's about to get Dennis Quaid. Sorry, I got to go. Wind's on. Bloop.

46:19Ben Mandelker: So, it's Dennis Quaid. Yeah. He's my hall pass.

46:25Ronnie Karam: Bloop.

46:30Ronnie Karam: Wow. If he knew that, he'd change his name to Dennis Afraid.

46:33Ben Mandelker: Bloop. Well, it's better than your hall pass, a.k.a. Mark Helgenberger. Bloop.

46:44Ronnie Karam: You don't even need a hall pass because everyone you've ever approached says pass. Bloop.

46:52Ben Mandelker: Well, at least my hall isn't as big and open as yours, if you know what I'm saying.

46:57Ronnie Karam: Bloop. Yeah, you would know because you've been passed by the entire hall.

47:07Ben Mandelker: I I I don't have to worry about that because I'm single And there is no hall pass for me it's called Just living life just living life Bloop

47:19Ronnie Karam: Have fun in your Caftan for the rest of your life It's basically your tomb so I hope you pick a comfy One bloop

47:27Ben Mandelker: I'm sorry I wasn't listening To you because I was too busy writing another Love letter to Dennis Quaid I'll talk to you later bye

47:36Ronnie Karam: So Captain Sandy Is updating Aisha Joe is coming this morning And then I'm still shorty deckhand You know, gosh, I hope the deckhand's not short Because then I'm going to be short a short deckhand That's saying a lot of shorts in one sentence Am I right? So just thinking, you do have a stewardess, right? Victoria V, you know, I don't want to call her V Because I really hated that show It was scary, people ate rats I mean, they were aliens But still, aliens shouldn't eat rats either You know, rats are necessary. Otherwise, we can't test makeup. And then my wife, her face would melt off. So it's important.

48:10Ronnie Karam: Anyway, the point is, Victoria has deck experience. Did you know that?

48:15Ben Mandelker: yes unfortunately well and you know here's another question if we're short as short if we're short a deckhand and that deckhand is short and that deckhand is wearing shorts then we're short a short deckhand wearing shorts but if they wear capri pants does that mean we're short a short we're short a short person wearing a long short think about it i hope i don't ever

48:38Ronnie Karam: yell at him so i don't have to say whoa hey short person with short pants that are trying to be long short pants. Sorry for getting short with you.

48:47Ben Mandelker: This remains me. Did we ever find out if Martin Short was interested in becoming a deckhand?

48:55Ronnie Karam: Well, it's tricky because mainly mornings and dinner when I need V the most, I need her so she can't be out there. But I guess that works because maybe you need her more during the day. He's like, yeah, but I'll need one deck to the night shift. And yeah, so it's just like, well, it'd be me and kids that you're doing everything, but, you know, I'll always do my mediocre best. I'm really big into mediocre this year.

49:23Ben Mandelker: Yeah. She's like, I'm checking out. Thank you. Selfishly, the last thing I want is to give V up because I think we finally got this beautiful, cohesive team. But luckily for everyone, I am larger thinking chief stew who knows she needs to do the best for her whole boat. So just consider me the good witch of the boat.

49:46Ronnie Karam: So they're moving V to the deck part time. Now we go to Max doing pull-ups on the railing. And it was the same railing that Nathan used to tell Tessa had smudges all over it. And now we see why. Now we see why, Max.

50:05Ben Mandelker: Wow, that's some good lore on that railing. and then asia is telling the team that basically uh nathan she and nathan will be sharing custody of v and v is all excited about this and she's like wow she's like this opportunity to do deck is like a breath of fresh air like but quite literally because i get to go outside and breathe like fresh air you see what i'm saying okay so when you go outside there's air and that's fresher but the air that on the inside is like more stale so when you go outside it's truly like fresh air Is my joke landing?

50:39Ronnie Karam: And Kizzy's saying she's going to have to do even more now with just two. But she probably should have thought of that before she planted her seed. And then she's like, oh, my God, did I just say plant a seed? It's hilarious, isn't it? That sounds dirty. Whoops.

50:56Ben Mandelker: So now people are taking out trash. Ash. And Nathan is, there's this long, okay, there's this long shot of Nathan going and bringing like the garbage to the dumpster. Notably, he's barefoot. I feel like I don't want to walk around the dumpster area barefoot. First of all, I think there'd be like broken glass nearby. Second of all, just dumpster juices. And I just think that's kind of like gross. I mean, admittedly, he walks around hoses all day long, so he could always hose down his feet. But I was really grossed out by that. And while I was reflecting on this, Lo and behold The metaphor of dumpster juices arrives Joe, he pulls up And then they hug and have a bromantic moment

51:36Ronnie Karam: Yeah, now Asia comes And she starts squealing And Joe shows us those teeth And he's like, I'm back baby Do I have anything in my teeth? I was literally navigating off the watch 35 meter, I was out at sea Got the text from Captain Cindy Saying that my best mate needed me on deck Get me on, I do consider myself A really good deckhand, but I had a few flaws so let's take a look and see my flaws were the women love me they just love me couldn't stay out of them whoopie pie that's what I make if I was the chef I'd make only whoopie pie girls love me they love me

52:11Ben Mandelker: so then Max meets Joe and then uh you know and Joe is saying like oh I've just done a level up it feels so good I'm so confident within myself I'm just ready to absolutely smash it And then Joe goes Sandy and they hug And he once again says he's ready to smash it He says he's ready to smash it quite a bit

52:33Ronnie Karam: That's one thing no one's ever said When they've looked at Norma I'll tell you that Get out there and do your best

52:40Ben Mandelker: Good, better, best, never let it rest Until you're good to your Norma And your Norma's you're not so good anymore Okay, so Aisha is like Okay, well, guess what Max, now you've met the infamous Joe What do you think? They say, oh, he's good looking. He's a big guy. Because this is really what bros care about. Like, how big is your chest? And in fact, like later on, they literally grop each other's pecs. And they're like, oh, nice pecs. Yeah. Oh, nice pecs. Yeah, beautiful.
