#3232 Below Deck Down Under S04E04: Slow Food Movement (Part 2)

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

0:21Ronnie Karam: Well, hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens. This is part two of a two-part 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

0:39Ben Mandelker: so then but we'll ask uh captain jason to go to the bridge and so she sits down and she's like we need to speak because i don't want to have problem at all but because i'm trying to achieve something here and he's like tell me exactly what you feel if it involves getting a free kimono Now, unfortunately, you have to pay for fear.

0:57Ronnie Karam: Let me tell you one thing that I love. That is watching women have feelings. Please do not have feelings. Please. I'm begging you, whatever you do, do not cry right now. It's like, I can't understand anybody. He's like, oh, God. He just does that blink where he's like, oh, God, another woman is crying in the bridge. I cannot tell. He just gets this like, he looks like a possum. You know, like when a possum gets scared and they just like roll on their back and they pretend they're dead. That's what he looks like whenever somebody starts crying. He's just like, what am I supposed to do with this?

1:32Ben Mandelker: I have to get back to my wordle. Yeah. She goes, she's like, I have people around me and my family that think I'm not smart enough to do things, to understand things, that the voice is always there. At the same time, I don't want to drown in those voices. He's like, understood. What are we talking about again? and she says that her family was not stable growing up and she never felt like she had a father because he was married to three women at the same time and he was narcissistic. And then her mom left him, but then her mom, she also says that there was physical and psychological violence. So she basically doesn't talk to either of her parents and so she's had to teach herself everything.

2:09Ben Mandelker: And I'm like, hey, if you don't talk to these people and they're the ones saying that you're too stupid to do anything, who the fuck cares what they have to say you're not talking to them anyway go do what you want to do

2:20Ronnie Karam: yeah but that's i was just thinking you know she talked like how crazy because you that is kind of normal to think that right when adult when an adult is like crying about their childhood and you're like but it's over now now you're free but it takes so long to break those chains you know i mean my gosh just letting go of stuff that happened that that stuff really gets you when you're young so it's so sad watching her still go through that and like carrying around like her parents thought she was dumb and you know she didn't get anything and all she's wanted to do is work and she's finally working and she's so proud of herself but now she can't understand anybody but she doesn't want it to translate like she's stupid and she's crying and he's just jason's just blinking blinkly but then when we go into the confessional he's like i'm thinking of my own daughter i think her name was brenda i think it was her birthday a few days i'm not really sure I do know her kind of.

3:08Ronnie Karam: I do see her occasionally. But anyway, I don't want her to cry. I feel stupid. So I'm crying right now as well, a little bit. Am I crying? So much more comfortable when a man doesn't it, isn't it?

3:21Ben Mandelker: If we can support Patool here and give her a home while she's here, we'll do that. I mean, not a real home. She can't actually live here, right? Does she know she can't live here?

3:32Ben Mandelker: If I've got someone next to me that wants to work and is patient, it, wants to try out one of my kimonos. That's what I want. If you're not understanding something, we can work through that. That's just a language barrier. No big deal. You're doing a great job. I mean, what's a language barrier? Am I right, everyone? Thank you very much. Thank you.

3:49Ronnie Karam: And when they asked for life jackets and you put waffles on the shoulders, I thought that's a girl who's really, really making an effort. And that's all that really matters here. Did we lose a guest? Possibly. I don't know. I haven't really counted them. But the point is you tried. Your passion is wonderful.

4:06Ben Mandelker: So it's time for the guests to go snorkeling, and they go underwater, and they see all sorts of fish. Is this a good time to do a fish report as long as they are snorkeling? Shall we snorkel as well?

4:17Ronnie Karam: Yes, please. But can I tell you something more important? What? I have just come to Captain Jason's website, thecaptainslounge.life, or captainslounge.life, because I wanted to check on those kimonos. He's got a new product, and it's not sexual at all. It costs$69. It's hilarious. Captain J Signature Fragrance. 50 milliliters for$69. A fresh, effortless scent grounded in warmth and coastal calm. It opens with bright citrus, a hint of salted sea breeze, and the cool smoothness of melon and neroli. As it settles, soft rose, gentle woods, and airy jasmine come through with an understated depth. Finally, sandalwood, cashmere woods, amber musk, and a touch of vanilla create a warm, lasting finish that sits quietly on the skin.

5:12It's nothing like watching a woman cry.

5:18Ben Mandelker: That was absolutely beautiful. Now, let's have Brenda Bluth and read it. for 69 dollars you could get a beautiful fragrance oh i'm terribly sorry it sold out i didn't realize

5:31Ronnie Karam: he's also got t-shirts one says all hands on scent i don't get that okay seize the day spelled s-e-a-s seize the day and by captain jason and it's like they're all autographed Buy Captain Jason. Spritz me. Captain Jason. Incursive. And then he's got a kimono. And his kimono is, I think it's a bargain price now. I think it used to be$300. And now it's$217. I'm in. I think I should buy one. Do it. Should I get one? I'm going to get one right now. Get one.

6:06Ben Mandelker: Get some Captain Jason signature scent.

6:09Ronnie Karam: Yeah. I want to smell like all those woods. It's like, whoa, did someone carrying a bundle of different woods just come in? Gosh.

6:17Ben Mandelker: I want to smell like someone who just went scuba diving and got lost and got picked up by a fish boat.

6:22Ronnie Karam: Yeah. All right. Here we go. Fish report. Fish report. It's the weekly fish report.

6:32All right.

6:33Ronnie Karam: Here we go. This is what we call a school of fish. This is something that Alicia left to get laid on Whistler.

6:41Ben Mandelker: Yes. that is correct she couldn't hack it there just some generic fish just going around in a circle sort of confused sort of lost sort of aimless you know i don't know what they're hoping to find

6:51Ronnie Karam: um probably food because our start look every one of these fish is thin they all look exactly the same they all wear the same thing to school every day there is no fat fish hanging out with these people they look sad they look like they've seen something and they're all just like guys let's

7:08Ben Mandelker: Just not talk about it. Let's not talk about it. Let's just find our food.

7:11Ronnie Karam: They do. Okay. Then we get these weird little things with the shrimp riding them again. We've seen these before. Okay. And then we get, oh, what are these kinds of fish? Big flat fish. I like the flat ones that are like, oh my God, they look giant. But then you look at them from behind and you're like, oh my God, it's just a stick. I don't even see anything.

7:29Ben Mandelker: These are like screensaver fish. So did you go to the screensaver audition? Yeah, I think I did really well. I think they're going to put me on some Macs. Really? Oh. I didn't feel so good.

7:40Ronnie Karam: They weren't nice to me. I just got cast to play a giant, but I can only be seen in profile, unfortunately. They don't want to see me head on. Yeah. These are nice. It's a turtle. Now, this is a turtle out of water. You know, a lot of us are wondering, what do these turtles do when they're not in the water? They are walking on the streets. Just walking around.

8:02Ben Mandelker: This turtle got a nice suntan. Look at those nice golden hues. It's doing a little dance. Yeah. Do a little tap dance.

8:12Ronnie Karam: Can't do this in the water. I'll tell you that. Sometimes you just gotta come on to land. Sometimes you just gotta come on to land.

8:23Ben Mandelker: It's like, why am I not floating right now? I just don't understand these things.

8:27Ronnie Karam: All right. All right. You know what? Catch me in five minutes. Ah, back in the water. God, this feels good.

8:33Ben Mandelker: This turtle is having one of these moments where you're like, oh, my God, I'm drowning. I'm drowning. I'm drowning. Oh, wait. Never mind. I am actually adapted for this environment. I need a breath. I need a breath of it. Cause its head is sticking out above the air. It's like, it's terrifying down here. It's terrifying. Just kidding. It's actually quite lovely. Yeah. Remember being on land where you couldn't float. Yeah.

8:55Ronnie Karam: Another turtle. It's a big turtle day.

8:57Ben Mandelker: The other turtle, by the way, looked like it was more of a turtle or a tortoise. These look like these are sea turtles. Cause look, these actually have flippers.

9:04Ronnie Karam: And the other one that was walking.

9:05Ben Mandelker: Oh, you're right. Legs.

9:07Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So this one is flying above some starfish Look at those starfish I like that he's checking out the starfish He's like hey guys Still not going to say hi to me huh Okay well there's three of you Maybe I should get one of you alone It would be nice I mean we do live in the same neighborhood Is it so bad to be neighborly?

9:25Ben Mandelker: Those starfish are like I'm just trying to get some sun Geez they always come and have me to talk I don't want to talk I don't want to talk when I'm trying to get a suntan

9:34Ronnie Karam: Hey guys did you see me tap dancing up there? I've been practicing it. Oh, that's right. You can't go on land. Sorry. It was fun, though. I did good. Why don't you guys speak to me? Speak to me, please. Hey, does anybody have sugar? I can borrow. Cup of sugar. Cup of sugar. Cup of sugar. I'm your neighbor.

9:48Ben Mandelker: I'm your neighbor. Please. Please, Peter, leave us alone. We just had a very large meal. We need to digest.

9:56Ronnie Karam: Now we see people on their expedition later swimming. And this guy's like, yeah, he's like reaching out for a hug. The turtle's like, no, sir, I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to the starfish. Okay. Not my neighbor.

10:08Ben Mandelker: Everyone's just bothering each other under the sea. Basically the turtles bothering the starfish, the humans bothering the turtle turtles like, no, uh, sir, you, I've been trained to think everyone's wants to eat me. I'm going to have to go, please stop. No, I don't trust this Instagram concept that you claim that you're going to put me on. I need to go, please. Um,

10:27Ronnie Karam: another turtle coming up for water. Another turtle. God, huge turtle day. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crap. It's commercial. Okay, let's go on to this shark thing. This is a pretty shot. Wow, it's one of those flat sharks, and it's surrounded by food, you know? It basically just threw M &Ms up in the air and is waiting for one to fall on its mouth.

10:51Ben Mandelker: Those stupid fish are like, why is it that whenever we have a party, a shark comes by, it's because you're yellow. You're basically advertising your party. Like, why do they always seem to know where we are at all times? Because someone decided that we should all be wearing yellow today. Why did we decide to do this?

11:07Ronnie Karam: If we don't want to be eaten, maybe we should not all go out dressed like Cheetos. Just a thought.

11:13Ben Mandelker: They do look delicious. Like, you know, the shark is like, yes. There's all those other generic fish just lingering around.

11:21Ronnie Karam: The shark ate so many fish that he just takes a nap next. Next, he's under a reef and he is just taking a nap. I've never seen a shark just taking a nap before. Have you?

11:29Ben Mandelker: No, this shark is just hanging out. This shark is like not even moving. You know, I remember growing up, they said that sharks have to always stay in motion. You know, otherwise they die. I don't know if that's actually true, but this shark did not seem to get the memo. The shark was like, oh, wow. God, you know, everyone hates me. It's just hard.

11:47Ronnie Karam: The shark was like, yeah, your teacher taught you that back before we got a union. Okay. Now we take naps. It's Captain Sandy Shark Union. Big on naps.

11:56Ben Mandelker: The shark's like, guys, I got a good parking spot. So I'm just going to hang here. You guys go in and get the groceries. I'll just stay here.

12:03Ronnie Karam: He's like, I hope you don't mind. I ate so much for lunch. I just pulled down my fin. I pulled it all the way down to my knees. Look how low his fin is. It's like he's taking it off to go poop or something.

12:15Ben Mandelker: This shark is just trying to take a nap, and we are bothering it. It's just a napping shark. It's like, I just wanted to. It kind of thinks that because its left eye is under the shelf of that coral, that no one can see it. No one can see it. I'm hiding, right? You guys can't see. My tail's not sticking out, is it?

12:30Ronnie Karam: You know what would be nice? A sleep mask. They can't close their eyes at all. How are they doing that? Okay, so when we get to these dumb, these fish just look dumb, right? It's not fair to body shame someone and be like, oh, my God, you're just like little and yellow and your eyes are big and blank. But they just do look stupid, these fish.

12:47Ben Mandelker: Well, because you know what they're clearly doing. They're clearly trying to get by that shark. Like, guys, now's our chance. It's sleeping. Let's get by the shark. That shark is going to wake up some of you. This is stupid. Of all the paths, this is the path you decide to go?

13:02Ronnie Karam: Pretty shell. Very nice shell. more little yellow fish okay some goldfish are these captain jason's goldfish again no no these are just some generic ones i like this one fish that it's not is that a clownfish i think it's

13:16Ben Mandelker: i think it looks like you're right it is a clownfish oh well i don't like clownfishes but this is what i like because it's like uh it's like what huh huh what huh well i actually like

13:26Ronnie Karam: this one too and i was wondering if you were because we have a long-standing resentment of clownfish on the show in the fish report but i actually really like this clownfish too it's just cute it's not out there bragging it's like i'd like to be at home you know like i just i just want to stay at my apartment i just got new curtains yeah i also like that it's striped

13:43Ben Mandelker: makes it look like it's wearing kind of like a um um uh like a little bonnet like from that show what's that show with elizabeth moss again um with elizabeth moss um oh uh handmaid's tale

13:59Ronnie Karam: Yeah, there's like a Handmaid's Tale clownfish. Yeah, it's like the clown maid's tale. It's like, under his eye, guys. It's even got a frown, like on that show. Look at this.

14:07Ben Mandelker: It's like, I'm not allowed to leave. I'm not allowed to leave this patch.

14:11Ronnie Karam: Now, this fish looks like he's about to eat this little fish, right? There's like a big kind of red fish, and it's about to eat this other one. Look, it has an angry eye shadow on, too.

14:21Ben Mandelker: This fish is a bit of a diva. It's got sequins on. It's got some eye shadow. It's like about to go perform at a cabaret. That's for sure.

14:28Ronnie Karam: and it's got a lot of attitude but you it's like you were born with grill marks on you look how it has grill mark shapes already on it like this fish is destined to be grilled sorry fish you're dead

14:38Ben Mandelker: look it's got a little side kick look at that stupid side kick at his butt it's like hmm yeah totally that's what it's saying

14:45Ronnie Karam: eat that little fish eat that little fish eat it don't mess with us then we get the other ones again who are black and white striped they're pretty they're pretty they're nice they're very screensaver fish yeah and then we go to more clownfish.

14:59Ben Mandelker: Yeah, these are the obnoxious ones that we don't like. The other one had a lot more character.

15:03Ronnie Karam: I think this is like them pleasing themselves. I don't want to say masturbating because I don't want to be gross, but pleasing themselves. They're going through sponge-like things and just petting themselves, which I think is really cute. They just have so much privilege. This is how they can spend their time getting massages and anemones. This one's like, well, I'm not allowed to be 30 yards near a school or a church, But hey, I think this is far enough away. I'm just going to scratch this itch. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm just going to get this done. Wow, real dark turn for that fish. I love this one's outfit.

15:38Ronnie Karam: This is a black fish with purple dots and then just a bright yellow tail to finish.

15:43Ben Mandelker: And it's peeking out over the side of some sort of like rocky growth because it thinks that someone called its name. Someone's like Joanne? Is that me?

15:52Ronnie Karam: Joanne? Oh, it's a human. It's another human following a stingray. I thought someone needed me. Sorry.

15:59Ben Mandelker: No, me. Did you say Joanne? Did you say Joanne? Did you actually say? Nope. You said Jennifer. You're not calling me.

16:03Ronnie Karam: Okay, I'll be right over here. I'll just go back to it. Oh, I heard it. I heard it. I heard it. Okay, still the human.

16:12Ben Mandelker: I swear they're saying my name. I think actually they're playing with me. This time I definitely heard it. You were definitely saying Joanne this time. Joanne? Joanne? No? No. Oh, gosh. No.

16:20Ronnie Karam: All right. I'll just sit back down. I'm behind the rock if anybody needs me. Okay, and then we go to a stingray um these things are terrifying i don't care what people say i went in the ocean once to one of those stingray petting things and they put the stingray on your back and stuff and that was cute i guess but look at these things look at that stinger i don't those are terrifying they

16:39Ben Mandelker: killed steve urwin yeah that's the thing they killed steve urwin i don't want to i don't want to get close to it because if that thing hits my chest the way it hits steve urwin's uh-uh i'm not going out like that they're although these ones are cool because they look like those um really

16:54Ronnie Karam: thick mats that you put under your feet while you do dishes. They're very comfortable.

16:59Ben Mandelker: They got little dots. Look at these are enormous. Are those banta rays? Those are enormous rays over there. Those are like Darth Vader heads floating.

17:10Ronnie Karam: Oh my god. This one.

17:11Ben Mandelker: Jesus.

17:12Ronnie Karam: Holy mother.

17:13Ben Mandelker: Look at this guy.

17:14Ronnie Karam: This is a big old fish. His mouth goes, his mouth is half of his body. Yeah, this is like a

17:19Ben Mandelker: grouper. I feel like this is a grouper that's ill. It's like, hello, I need to speak to the doctor. I woke up with all these dots on my face. Is this normal? I thought I was supposed to be gray.

17:32Ronnie Karam: Then we get to a modern dance coral. It's like, ah. It's like the Jennifer Lopez wind machine in it. It's just like, ah.

17:42Ben Mandelker: It's beautiful. Beautiful kelp or coral or whatever this is. And then here we have some shrimp. And then we have the shrimp are just doing shrimp things. They're just hanging out. And then we have this fish. is very shy fish is like trying to avoid the paparazzi just going out at night and then get caught anyway. Okay, I just need to go to CVS. Okay. Sorry.

18:04Ronnie Karam: It's like the worst hider ever. It's like, yeah, I just need a rest. No one can see me. We can see you. You're hiding behind one stalk of something, sir. Okay. I'm just

18:12Ben Mandelker: trying to keep a low profile ever since the scandal happened. And honestly, I know you guys have a job to do, but I just need to go to CVS. Okay. I'll answer two questions but that's it.

18:22Ronnie Karam: I don't know what this fish is, but God, this background's gorgeous. It looks like a bunch of those licorice, those red licorice.

18:29Ben Mandelker: Yeah, this fish is like an influencer. The fish is like, can someone take a photo with me against this background?

18:34Ronnie Karam: No one really eats the food here. We just come here for the instas. Doing selfies. Yeah. More of these yellow fish.

18:43Ben Mandelker: Oh, I love that one. I love this guy. I think this is like a solo fish that was broke apart from the initial school because it sort of has that sad look. but I think on its own it's just this adorable like tongue depressor of a fish. Yeah it's extremely

18:59Ronnie Karam: long it's just a very long lonely fish it's like no one understands what it's like to be tall.

19:05Ben Mandelker: It's so lonely this fish it's so lonely it lost its school

19:09Ronnie Karam: and it's just floating along

19:11Ben Mandelker: oh poor thing.

19:13Ronnie Karam: Alright well that is the end of the fish report the fish report this has been the fish report Okay, so now we are back in the galley. Ben is down there, and Daisy comes in. She's like, do you have a few minutes to talk? Well, it depends. What are we going to talk about? Ah, fun stuff. Listen, I'm worried about timings, because that was quite slow. It was quite slow, Ben. And he's like, uh-oh, was it? Yeah, it was a bit slow. Come on. The primary's wife is quite particular, so I think dinner's going to have to be quite sharp. Do you understand, Ben? Have you got it in you?

19:47Ben Mandelker: Well, the day got away for me. There's a hot girl in my galley now, and she was trying to color coordinate the cutting boards, and it was a bit of an issue for me. I get it. I'm just saying from you, this is what I need. It's like, oh, yes, yes, okay, yes, we're winning. It's good. It's great. Yada, yada, yada. I'm sensitive, paid for a wedding. Bye now.

20:07Ronnie Karam: All right, good shot. So she leaves, but she's not letting him off the hook. He tries to do. He's like, well, the day got away. Well, I'm busy. Well, I had to explain giant knives to a tiny girl. And she's not having it. She's like, yeah, you better fucking listen to me. All right. And he's not going to like this from Daisy. There's going to be an uprising soon. So then we go to the guest snorkeling. And, you know, now everyone's getting back in the tender and stuff like that. And then we go to the crew mess and Ben and Jenna are in there. And he's like, oh, hey there. Hey there, syrup. Hey there, syrup stirrups.

20:44Ronnie Karam: What's it doing? And she's like, oh, hey, how you doing? How's everything going out there? He's like, well, the galley to the dining table. It's a big trek, right? You've got a lot of work to do. She's like, I feel like I'm warming up Mount Everest every time I come up and down there.

20:58Ben Mandelker: I don't know what you just said, but I will tell you that your legs are looking good, though, babe. It looks just like two tall pine cones that were smaller than the typical pine cones, but shapely in a way that pine cows normally aren't. If you know what I'm saying, I don't know what I'm saying. Okay, honey pie. So then with the snorkeling, the current is starting to pick up. And so Joao was like, we have to put the guests on the boat because it's getting dangerous. So they gather everyone on the boat and he's like, one, two, three, four, Zim, no, we're missing someone. And he's looking around and they can't find Liz.

21:38Ben Mandelker: Of course, Liz went missing. I don't even know who Liz is, but of course she went missing.

21:42Ronnie Karam: Well, when we meet Liz, we're like, oh, of course, that's the one he went missing. Because they get her and say, oh, guys, it's me, Liz. I'm like, oh, God, yeah, of course. Of course, Liz was the one. But they couldn't find her. But we do see before this happens, he's chatting on the Tinder with Mike. And they're like, oh, yeah, you know, isn't this great being out here? Me and you, bros. Look at me. It's me and you, bros. She wants some air spray. He's like, oh, that would be great, mate. So we see them kind of not paying attention. And we don't really see where Liz is. Later we find out that she was chasing stingrays, which, listen, you get what you deserve.

22:15Ben Mandelker: You know what I mean? But they're concerned because they weren't sure if she has a life jacket. And the current is intense. They don't know where she is. So Joao starts, you know, motoring around trying to find her. And Liz, they find her. And he's like, oh, we were worried about you. And she comes on. She's like, well, if I didn't have a life jacket, I would have been a little panicked, almost as panicked as that stingray once I started chasing it. Golly.

22:38Ronnie Karam: I was like, where do you think the stingray is going to go? You know what I mean? Is it like Alice in Wonderland? Don't chase a stingray. It's not going anywhere interesting. Come on, man. But fucking Liz, she did it. And yeah, so that was awkward. And Joao was like, oh, my God, this could have been terrible. I would have been ruined in Zim.

22:57Ben Mandelker: It was actually really bad. It was so bad that Joao had to ask the camera operator. He's like, have you seen Liz? And the operator was like, I thought she was with you. Like the operator had like a line in the show. So that's when you know things are not going well if they have to ask the crew.

23:11Ronnie Karam: And she got far. I mean, they really hauled ass in that tender. They were really driving fast. Everyone's like, oh, my God, where's Liz? And I like that the one lady who they were asking, they're like, where's Liz? Does she have a life jacket? And she's like, no, I don't even think she put a life jacket on. Oh, fucking Liz. Who knows? Like Liz is dead somewhere. The friend was just like, meh, fucking Liz.

23:30Ben Mandelker: Well, I am so relieved right now. My heart didn't sink. It fucking stopped. As a leader, gas safety is on me. But where the fuck was Mike? He's got all the banter. He's great with guests. But we don't need just that. We need someone who's able to work as well as play. We need to be better. I'm not going through this again. I won't. I shan't. I'll never do it. I'll never do it. They'll send me back to Zim and I won't have it. Never again.

23:51Ronnie Karam: I'll never lose another guest again. Yeah, but it is kind of your responsibility. I mean, I like that he's like, I'm taking responsibility. But where was Mike? Okay. You know where Mike was? He was talking to you about stupid shit. Yeah, exactly.

24:07Ben Mandelker: So they all get back on board the main boat, and they want dinner at 8 o 'clock. And Alicia's at the bar, and Eddie comes in, and she's like, hey, gorgeous. And he's like, ooh, you look hot and black. She's like, oh, thank you, big, strong man. He's like, I am a big, strong man who might get himself in trouble. And then he tells us again that basically, you know, with her, like she's just fun-loving and good-hearted, and that's the kind of girl he sees himself long term with. And guess what? Backstory time. I always looked up to my dad, mainly because he was much taller than me, and how he built his relationship with my mom.

24:45Ben Mandelker: And my mom and dad were just childhood sweethearts, close friends. They've had six kids now. I want someone that's going to help me emulate their marriage and maybe we could move into a home that matches their home. We could be just like my dad.

24:58Ronnie Karam: Yeah, and again, he says that he's not getting, I'm in a relationship vibe from her. He's getting mixed signals and he worries that she's playing a game with him and maybe it's something she just gets a kick out of. Is that her wanting me to try and chase her? My head's a bit twisted. Your head is a bit obsessed with your parents' happy marriage and I don't want to have to emulate that. That's too much pressure to put on somebody.

25:23Ben Mandelker: Also, once she told you no and that she's in a relationship, then you just have to move on from there. I'm sorry. You just have to be like, oh, she's going to be mixed signals. No, it's like, mm-mm.

25:35Ronnie Karam: So then we go to Jason and Joao on the bridge, and he's asking about snorkeling. And he's like, well, I got a bit of a heart sync because we were counting Zim 1, Zim 2, Zim 3, Zim 4, Zim 5. Oh, my God, am I falling asleep? That's how I go to sleep. If you ever have trouble sleeping, catch your Zims. But it's also how you count passengers. And we were missing one. We almost died.

25:54Ben Mandelker: It was Liz. It was Liz all along. I shit myself. Actually, I shat in the water, and it landed on Liz. It was really awkward in many different ways.

26:04Ronnie Karam: Well, it's actually Yachting 101. We've got to have more responsibility. Let me tell you what you need. More sandalwood. Do you have$69?

26:14Ben Mandelker: I know we have a bit of a current through here, but I thought that you'd just be hanging around that point. And, you know, you could always radio over, or I could have run over. It's like, well, I was going to, but we had it just under control. And on my side, I need to definitely go prior if I can, quickly jump in the water, even have a feel of it. You know what I'm saying. And he's like, well, get on top of that. So Jason's like, yeah, that's pretty scary. I've never lost a gasp. But I did lose myself once while diving. We went under and the current took us and we were flying. And our dive boat actually went the wrong direction.

26:44Ben Mandelker: And when we emerged, we were in a land of magical scents and sandalwood. All sorts of wonderful fragrances all abounded. And from that moment on, I knew I'm going to bottle this and sell it on the internet. it.

26:56Ronnie Karam: So then he comes up to Liz who's at the hot tub now partying and he's like, so how was the snorkel trip? Are you all right, Liz? Joao spoke to me and said that you got lost chasing a stingray. And she's like, oh, God, lost Liz. Sorry, I saw a stingray. I was trying to follow it. I appreciate you checking up on me, but it's wonderful. Thank you. Where do stingrays live? Can you just tell me? I just want to know. I just wanted to see his apartment. Is that so wrong to ask?

27:21Ben Mandelker: I just wanted to recreate the end credits of Splash. Wow, so free. So Jason's like, all right, well, you're safe. So drink up the margaritas. So then we go to Daisy and Alicia and the crew mass. And Daisy's like, tonight is the polo and pearls candle at dinner. Polos as the horse. No, polo as the shirt. It's a polo shirt themed dinner. Of course, polo as the horse and dingbat. They're from Greenwich, Connecticut. What else do you expect from them?

27:48Ronnie Karam: Now, dinner night, one night. And Christian and Annette want the theme tonight to be polo and pearls and bring in a touch of elegance to their favorite hobby. And Daisy tells her, I'm not going to micromanage what decorations you use. I'm sure you can figure it out as horses. I mean, come on, how hard can it be? She's like, oh, no, I love being micromanaged. Tell me more.

28:07Ben Mandelker: So Eddie farts somewhere. And then the guests are showering and getting ready for dinner at 624 p.m. And Jenna notes that something smells like farts. It's because Eddie farted in there. and then so then they still have not set up the table for dinner which is wild because I feel like we see on other shows they start doing the tablescape at like 4pm but they have not set it up and then in the galley Mike and Ellie are talking and Ellie is like thank you for helping Mike he's like it's alright are you enjoying it so free yes I'm having a great day oh have you done sushi before Yeah, yes, I've only worked in spa, and I worked as two, and I worked over dumb bitch who didn't respect my authority.

28:52Ben Mandelker: I am the second stew, which means I am the boss of you. Anyway, yes, having fun.

28:56Ronnie Karam: I love a spa then, don't I? I was like, we've got to do some papering one night. We've got loads of face masks upstairs. We can do that together. You want to do that? It's like, I'm sure, I guess. So Jenna radios Mike, but he's talking and flirting, and he doesn't hear. And he's like, oh, Elizabeth B, nice blonde, hourglass figure. Yeah, to be honest, I'd say Daisy number one, but I feel like she's just not going to play that card right now. So my plan is to go full steam ahead with Ellie. Commercials. Here comes one right now.

29:28Ben Mandelker: So then Ben and Ellie are cooking, and Ben's like, uh. This poor guy.

29:31Ronnie Karam: He wants to get laid so bad. I just don't see it happening ever. I see him being like one of those old guys in the bar that's just like playing like Margaritaville over and over again and coming up to the same women. like spending so much money on drinks and just never getting anything. Bless his heart. I know. Bless his heart.

29:49Ben Mandelker: Okay. Tapioca nubs. We're going to have to find some sweet chili sauce. Please, please. Come on. Hurry up. At least come on. Hurry up. And, uh, so Ellie is trying to help and she's got that big knife again, which by the way, never give Ellie that giant knife. I don't think that's safe. And then, um, she will use it against you at some point. People are getting ready for dinner. Table still being made. 745. They're still setting up. It's 15 minutes till dinner. This is pretty wild. And then Ben and Ellie are like, you know, rummaging around and stuff. It's like, okay, what else? What else? What else?

30:19Ben Mandelker: What do you think we should do, honey? And it's interesting because now all of a sudden we're starting to hear the honeys and the sweetie pies and they're coming through. And we know from the trailer that Ellie is going to snap at him about this. And we see the foundation being laying now as they get ready for dinner.

30:34Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So he's running around the kitchen. He's like, out of my way, out of my way, out of my way. So Christian, the primary comes out, and there's table decorations, and there's horses all over the place. And he's like, wait a minute. Wrong day, guys. This is for tomorrow. Daisy, country western is for tomorrow. Today is polo and pearls. Come on. And she's like, but there's horses. He's like, no, they're the wrong kinds of horses. Polo horses are different than country horses.

31:01Ben Mandelker: Yeah, there are two different types of horse decorations, and the crew accidentally put all the horse decorations out at once, not realizing that there were certain subtleties. The horse that has the peg on it, the peg horse, whatever you call those, that's for the country western night. It's not for the polo night, even though on polo you ride a horse. But that's fine.

31:20Ronnie Karam: So stupid. Multiple horse events. Mess the staff up. What will they do? He's like, it's not country horses. It's a different type of horse. And Jenna's like, it makes sense. I don't really understand what it's a horse. What more do you want from me? Put the horses out.

31:36Ben Mandelker: So now they're like, strike the horses.

31:38Ronnie Karam: before Annette sees.

31:40Ben Mandelker: I know. Don't let Annette see the wrong horse. But I guess what's strange to me is you guys are coming from Greenwich, Connecticut. You came from Greenwich, Wasp Central, to go to a yacht where you're just going to have the theme essentially be Greenwich, Connecticut. Like, that always is strange to me. Like, we've seen in the past, we've seen, like, I think actually on the most recent season, you see some, like, Italian-Americans from, like, New Jersey, and they're like, here's what we want to have a theme. Jersey night. we want meatballs and spaghetti it's like you guys the mob people are like let's have a mob night no just go home just stay at home why are you doing this why are you having polo night when you live in Greenwich

32:23Ronnie Karam: because it's a night she's like yeah I just wanted to remind you guys we're really into polo and pearls because we're from Greenwich have I told you the story about the captain going back to get my favorite down pillow I forgot about that

32:36Ben Mandelker: The favorite down pillow. Oh, God. It was covered in Worcestershire sauce. So sweet. Daisy sees that the table is not ready. She's like, why is this not set up before eight? You guys have had two hours to set this up. And Jenna's like, I don't believe a piece of this. Come on. No, there's no excuses.

32:56Ronnie Karam: Come on. You got to get to it. I'm starting to feel like the whole charter is cursed. I mean, when things don't go right, not only does Jason look bad, but I look bad because I'm the face of the art and it's bad.

33:09Ben Mandelker: So Daisy radios the galley that the guests are all up. And so they start the dinner service and Daisy's like, nah, we're just gonna, we're just on the back foot. I want everything clean. I want everything ready. I want water poured, okay? Thank you. Roughly how many minutes been? And by the way, poured into glasses, not onto their laps.

33:26Ronnie Karam: Thank you. So Alicia's cleaning. She hasn't done it in a long time. and then Daisy's running food and having Mike help with cabins and stuff. So he goes down there and he's sitting on the bed and he's like, take your time, take your time. Just relax a bit. She's like, no, I'm about to have an aneurysm. Please get up. He's like, come on, bud, have a relax. Have a relax with me. Let's flirt. Nobody wants to flirt with you, Mike.

33:54Ben Mandelker: So meanwhile, the guests are waiting and waiting and waiting and Ben is stressing and Ellie is like, well I'm going to clean up in the meantime. I will say that Ellie, she might not be a sous chef but she seems actually like pretty helpful in that kitchen, right? She's going around, she's doing things, she's anticipating things. She is working.

34:12Ronnie Karam: I mean listen, people can say a lot about Ellie but not that she doesn't work. I mean she does come on and work her ass off. So she's like, Ben is an excellent chef and I'm not a chef obviously but Ben needs structure. He's very chaotic and I feel like I'm the person to bring the structure. Uh oh. Uh oh. Oh no, here we go. And this isn't like a regular relationship, but it might as well be because that's when you know you're doomed. That's when you're like, wow, you know what this person needs me to fix them. Yeah, I was like, oh, this is bad news.

34:44Ben Mandelker: There was a lot of serious turmoil in the environment where I grew up. And she talks about being raised in Bosnia and losing family members in the war and all of that stuff. and um you know that's why that's where she got her organized side from because she was like this is a tool to help me take a step back from the chaos uh so daisy uh is like golly golly golly we're clearing in two minutes two minutes we're clearing so joao and daisy are talking and joao's like quick question i need mike for five minutes is that okay it's like yeah he's in cabas just

35:15Ronnie Karam: grab him he's probably jerking off be careful so um joao and the deck crew he's just basically Listen, guys, we almost lost somebody today. We cannot do that again. Listen, I need you to stop talking, Mike, because, you know, you sorted them drinks, but at the end of the day, you get nothing for nothing. You need to prioritize the safety of the guests, okay? And, you know, when we finally found that woman and you started flirting with the stingray, that's not how it works. He's like, sorry, it's trying to get a little.

35:41Ben Mandelker: So a normal person would say, oh, my God, I'm so mortified. Someone almost died because I wasn't paying attention. But Mike goes, Joel is a fully qualified captain. I'm literally one week into being a Dex too Give us a break Like no someone almost died Yes Joao should have also been looking But you should have been looking too

36:00Ronnie Karam: Yeah so he gives them like a safety A safety thing A safety speech And then Eddie comes in the room And he's like wanna give me a kiss Mike Big kiss to go to bed So then Jason's like Alright Gally listen we're a little bit late On the first meal and that's why I'm pushing My presence is a push All right.

36:21Ben Mandelker: You can tell that I'm eager because you can smell me. I'm wearing my sandalwood. Ben's like, I like it. It's the mark of a strong man. Very nice.

36:31Ronnie Karam: So he's playing and Daisy's like, sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

36:37Ben Mandelker: Everything's so slow. It's so slow in the galley. I can't believe who's in there. It's like, Daisy, you're in the galley right now. And Ben is right there listening to you.

36:45Ronnie Karam: So we go back to the guests and someone's like, I need an espresso. style and then back to Ben he's like I'm all right Daisy uh well we've been I've been waiting for you Daisy where you been she's like that's not even funny don't even try that man so um basically

37:01Ben Mandelker: they serve this this uh steak and Annette's of course is too well done for her of course so she swaps with her husband and finally they go to bed and uh they are um and then Daisy and Joao have a funny moment where they knock over some glasses and stuff but then finally Daisy calls her team together because they were a disaster today she goes i just want to talk about today really quickly because let's sit down for a second you guys today was chaos i've come up and we're still doing decorations at five past eight absolutely not okay and mike's like but you have to remember though that people like me have never done this before it was a decoration i'd understand time i've never read a clock before you have to give me some grace mike if i told you dinner's at eight

37:44Ronnie Karam: which I told you dinner was at eight. Fuck, it's seven. Can you not think I've been told to do the decorations? I better get them done as quickly as possible because they who wants them done. Can you not think that, Mike?

37:54Ben Mandelker: I loved her saying that. Like, you dumbass, dinner's at eight. Why would you start the decorations so late? Do it as soon as possible.

38:01Ronnie Karam: And you're not supposed to brag to your boss that you've never done this job before. You know what I mean? That's not an excuse. You're supposed to be like trying to be good enough to keep this job, not just be like, well, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. You're an engineer. I'm here because I was on a show where we dated people naked. Yeah. And I have stupid hair. I'm not here to work.

38:19Ben Mandelker: But also you're an engineer, so you should have some sense of logic, I would hope. Like you have the problem-solving capabilities of an engineer. So if you are given the problem of dinners at 8 and decorations have to go up and decorations will take an hour, when do you start?

38:34Ronnie Karam: Telling that time is not a special skill on your resume, you know? Yeah. So he's like I mean if I'm honest If I know at the back of my head That's what needs done That's what needs done Then I could do it And Jenna's like There's always something to be done I mean the bar was hideous too He's like well The minute I feel like I'm starting not to look good I'm going to stand up for myself And I'm going to put on Lots of Aquanet

38:57Ben Mandelker: Your thought process should be Fuck I need to get These decorations done He's like But if I'm told to do The decorations though I'm not going to go And do the bar He's like there's always Something to be done on the boat And I know that we're tired And if the guests aren't around I want to see you basically almost running at all times. And he's like, and so she's like, I'm not personally attacking you. I'm just saying it's a conversation. It's me. It's a collective. It's not really me. Cause I know what I'm doing. And it's basically just you, Mike, a collective you. Yeah. Listen,

39:24Ronnie Karam: I'm not attacking you personally. All I'm saying is your hair is really stupid. All right. And he's like, all right, well, I agree with that. Yeah, I can approve. I can approve a hundred percent. She's like, okay, great. Alicia, you go to bed. You're up at seven. Now, thank you. Well done today, everybody. Except that it wasn't. Yeah.

39:43Ben Mandelker: So it's the next morning. Jason's working out and stuff. Ben, Ellie, and Jenna are in the galley and saying hello. And Jenna's like, what was that? Are you saying was there something on my mind? Yes. He's like, yes. You, you're on my mind. That was a flirtation right there. And he's like, it's all you. It's all you. Jenna's like, yeah, no competition there, darling. So then guests are sitting for breakfast and the breakfast is coming up. And this is where Annette has the bacon on her fork. And she's basically like, there's just no easy way to eat bacon. It's like literally very simple choices ahead of you.

40:27Ben Mandelker: Take your fingers and put it in your mouth. Take a knife, cut it into a piece and put it on your fork. It's just really simple.

40:34Ronnie Karam: Bacon is literally the easiest thing to eat You fucking crazy person I mean, how am I supposed to eat the bacon? And now they bring me a straw So now it's time for a beach picnic Which we know is always drama It's below deck, so here we go It's beach picnic So they get to this beach picnic And it's really hot And everybody's like, why are we doing a beach picnic? It's fucking hot And that's like, you know what? I'm so hot. Could you send the tender back for my bathing suit? I love sending tenders back to get me things. Okay. Preferably have the captain bring it back for me.

41:13Ben Mandelker: Lady, you're going to a beach for a beach picnic. Why did you not bring a bathing suit?

41:17Ronnie Karam: And she looks like she's in some kind of like cover up anyway. She looks like she's in kind of some swim adjacent thing. Like, I don't think that going into the water would hurt what she had on, but I don't know. But she's like, yeah, she just has to be the biggest pain in the ass of all time.

41:31Ben Mandelker: it's also like you've spent most of your day outside on a deck you know what the weather is you know exactly how hot it is you already know it's super hot you know you're going to a beach but you didn't think to yourself oh i should bring my bathing suit you just instead went just in a sundress like it like like you realize at some point you have to realize that you're the problem here right so either way she makes a simple request everyone else goes off to the beach bar they just leave her in the dust they do not want to be around her so daisy is like Like she basically says to Eddie, hey, can you go back to the boat and bring her swim trunks right back?

42:07Ben Mandelker: And he's like, absolutely. So he goes back. He finds them. And then he's just sitting around. He's just putzing around. I'm like, what are you doing? He's waiting for the food. He was waiting for the food. But like there was like no logic of like this person wants to swim. But I'm going to wait for the food to go back. It's like bring the bathing suit because the food is supposed to be ready

42:31Ronnie Karam: So he's going back to get the swimsuit and he's gonna pick up the food at the same time because if he takes a swimsuit back Then he's gonna be late to pick up the food Then he's gonna get yelled at by the chef and the guests because the guests are gonna be waiting for their food I mean, I got the logic of what he was doing But everything was just a clusterfuck because the food wasn't ready on time So then he's just like sitting there waiting for the food and Daisy's freaking out because she doesn't have the bathing suit and then this lady is being the biggest drama queen in the world And she's like, oh, my God, I'm so hot.

42:58Ronnie Karam: I'm going to faint. I'm getting heat stroke. Oh, my God. What's going to happen to me? Please hide me. Her husband's like jumping on her to cover her. Like she's fucking ridiculous. She's the only person on the beach who can't take it. She's like, I'm dying of heat stroke now.

43:13Ben Mandelker: She's lying on the ground. I mean, God forbid she just goes into the ocean. Just go into the water. For fuck's sake. My God. You're right there. And everyone there, there's a full crew. Everyone is there. And everyone's fine. It's 91 degrees. It's hot for sure. but she's acting like she is, you know, Kristen Scott Thomas at the end of the English patient. And it's like, lady, you know, you're just on a beach at a resort. I don't understand why Eddie didn't say, wow, it looks like they're behind the galley. Let me see if I can bring this bathing suit back really quickly and then go back. Like there was just no thought process.

43:46Ben Mandelker: He just was hanging out and it was just so passive. It was like stultifying. And, you know, of course, Daisy's losing her mind. She's screaming into her phone. And she's like, bring me back my bathing suit. Because now it's been like 45 to 50 minutes. And the boat is right there. And the bathing suit is nowhere. Like, honestly, Annette is being a drama queen. But given that she made this request, it's crazy that she's been sitting there for 50 minutes without her bathing suit.

44:12Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So Jenna tells Eddie, like, they thought you were going to get the suits and go back. And he's like, but I wasn't told that. And so we see a flashback of Daisy telling him to do that. and then on the beach and it's like maybe it would just be faster if I went back on the boat. No, maybe it would be faster if you brought your swimsuit to the fucking ocean.

44:31Ben Mandelker: Yeah, in the first place. Okay. And then Ben is like, they're getting pretty close to eating, right, Jason? Well, actually, I don't think that, I think they were told that lunch was at one. So I don't think that Eddie was like waiting for the food to go back right away. I think that he thought.

44:47Ronnie Karam: Oh, then I don't know. I mean, I mean, why else would he be standing there? That's just what I was assuming. But I don't know. Maybe he did. I don't know. I don't know. So then Daisy offers Christian a drink, a cold drink. And Annette's like, oh, my God, I'm dying. Well, everything's ever since these guests came on board, everything's been fucking late. I mean, good Lord, the lady's dying. She's on her deathbed. She's finally matching her makeup.

45:12Ben Mandelker: So Daisy is mad and everyone's hot. And the other guests are probably just at that beach bar pointing at Annette and laughing. I like this bitch.

45:20Ronnie Karam: They're watching Annette's health bar like a video game. They're like, it's almost depleted. Yes, get her.
