This part-two recap of Below Deck Down Under S04E14 centers on pre-charter chaos and escalating crew relationship drama. With 23 hours until charter, the captain notes they’re down a crew member and expects a “shit show” to make up for it. Guests are Sujay and his wife Brenna, plus their medical-field friends Emma and Kim and their parents Vinod and Joshri (Sanjay is mentioned as well). Brenna is anxious and barely speaks; she’s shown as frizzy-haired and camera-shy.
Ellie has been stirring by telling Alicia that Daisy/Jenna were “bitching” about her; Daisy insists she can “read people” and confronts Ellie. Ben is moody and feels relationships are confusing; he flirts/gets entangled in hot tub dynamics with Jenna and Joao. Cabin shuffles are triggered by the fallout: Joao moves into Ben’s room; Eddie and others are reassigned to reduce chaos before dinner.
the hot tub “trash can” jealousy, Ellie snapping shrimp from Daisy’s hands during shrimp cocktail service, and Daisy’s assertive confrontation about the shrimp incident.

2:06Well, 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.
2:24Ben Mandelker: So, Batool and Daisy are in the crew mess. And Batool is like, where's Mike? I can't get him off the boat. Have you not heard? She goes, no. It's like, oh, God, Batool. You got to keep up. I'm just working. All I want to do is work. So now it's 23 hours until Charter. and his preference sheet meeting and the captain's like, all right, we're down a crew member. I mean, it was a terrible crew member, but at least we won't have to breathe in the aquanet anymore. So we'll have a little time to clean out the crystals in our lungs and we've got a very nice couple coming on with zero drama. So I expect you all to have a shit show of an episode to make up for it, all right?
3:03Ben Mandelker: That's right. This is going to be Sujay and his wife Brenna. And Brenna is looking forward to being able to say the first words she's ever said to sujay so let's please fingers crossed will brenna get to say something in this video package brenna oh my gosh brenna's like she looks like she's in a hostage video she's just looking at the camera like please just send the money just send it to whoever please i'm tired i'm hungry i just want to come home so sujay and brenna they actually live in the dominican republic or at least they have a house there and uh suj is like brennan and i met probably probably 11 years ago and i think there was for me at least there was an instant connection i mean i started thinking about my career in medicine from early days of my life my father's a family doctor oh was that did you want me to say more about brenna because i've already started talking about my career okay when i saw brenna i knew there was an instant connection to medicine so I really committed my life to that.
4:03Brenna's just looking at the camera like, God damn it.
4:05Ben Mandelker: When I saw Brenna, I knew there was an instant connection between her upper lip and her bottom lip. God, they do not part. So he FaceTimes his parents and he's like, hey guys, we're inviting, me and Brenna, don't say it, Brenna. Yeah, me and Brenna, this one here, you know, silent one. We're going to take you on a mega yacht. They're like, what? Oh my gosh. Yeah, my parents have done everything for me, dad could have had all kinds of stuff being a doctor he could have he could have like had a nice car he could have been on trips but he refused all that because he just wanted to educate me and i don't think there's ever been you know they've ever had an opportunity to have this type of luxurious experience so i'm going to give back to my parents brenna what do you have to say about that just just kidding just so you don't have to talk so jason's like on there joining them are their friends emma and kim and the parents vinod and joshri and sanjay is like Like the group coming with us, we're all in the medical field, all physicians, but we're also kids at heart.
5:06We do have fun. We do. We do. We do have fun. Right, Brenna? Just kidding, Brenna. We want 80s night.
5:16Ben Mandelker: You know, Brenna, she gets wild when that Debbie Gibson gets turned on. So everyone be careful. Brenna, could you do your out of the blue karaoke for us? Just kidding. Just kidding. Do not sing, Brenna. But then Brenna does start talking later And we kind of see why she doesn't talk Because she's like oh my god my hair is frizzy What am I Monica from Friends Was that Brenna I thought that was Brenna's friend though Oh I thought it was Brenna I guess we'll see It could have been Brenna we're going to find out I just thought that was the funniest reference What am I Monica from Friends I know Courtney Cox is like I'm going to try this Below Deck show.
5:58Ben Mandelker: Let's see what's... Whoa! Whoa! I just took a stray out of nowhere.
6:04Ben Mandelker: So, now Daisy, Joao, and Jenna are in the hot tub, and Daisy pours wine into a glass. She goes, I'm finishing this, and then I'm going to bed. So, there you go, America. That's that. Nighttime ritual. So, then the galley. Ellie's like, By the way, Ben, did you know that Daisy She spent the night in Joao's room. He's like, yeah, I thought of you when I heard that. But I don't care. I'm fucking over it. I'm over it. He's like, oh, God, I don't think she's over it. You're bringing it up and still pissed at work. I don't think you're over it. Somebody is going to die today. Someone will die. So Daisy leaves this hot tub to go to bed, leaving just Joao and Jenna.
6:48Ben Mandelker: And Joao's like, are you going to invite me to cuddle? She's like, oh, be quiet. So Jenna and Joao are now talking, but their body language looks very intimate. But we can see that they're just actually, well, we think they're just sort of talking about their romantic situations a little bit. But you know what, Joao, you really don't know because he is kind of giving her that look like, what about me? Give me a try. So Jenna's just like, they're talking about stuff. And downstairs, Ellie's in the crew mess, watching them on the closed circuit security camera monitor wall, monitor on the wall. And so Ellie's like, oh, look at them.
7:25Ben Mandelker: They're all over each other. Look, Ben. He's like, that is weird. Their arms are in places that I don't understand. Look at trash can in the hot tub. Disgusting. But they're not even. I mean, they're just talking. So Daisy comes in and she's like, oh, I'm tired. I'm going to bed. They keep trying to fucking convince me to stay up there. I'm like, no, you know, Joao and Jenna, they're looking for you, by the way, Ben. And Ben goes, oh, and they didn't think to look in the galley? Well, personally, I think personally she would hopefully rather be with me than with Joao in a hot tub. But that's just what I would prefer.
8:06Ben Mandelker: Oh, man. Ellie worked. She worked him immediately. I mean, he is so easy to manipulate. That was hilarious. Like, they didn't think to look in the galley. I'm like, they're in the hot tub. They don't want to come down to the galley. That's all it was. So Ellie. Oh, well, I will just put up the preference sheet. It's just me, innocent Ellie, who said nothing.
8:29Ben Mandelker: So Daisy's like, Ben, they're asking for you. It's like, well, they don't give a fuck. That's the problem. They're lines. They're borders. They're lines in the fucking sand, Daisy. All right. You've been to the lagoon. You saw that sand. You saw all the lines in there, right? my little salty sternum. She's like, okay, Ben, settle down. So upstairs in the hot tub, Jenna's like, I think I got so serious with Ellie so quickly and at the same time with you and Ellie, like she took it that way too, right? Like don't do it that way. Yes, very much so. Yes, absolutely. Yes. She's certainly not watching us right now.
9:05I can't believe they're doing this to me. That was my jelly-tot jugular. and she destroyed me destroyed me this is vulgar isn't it ellie she's like well she won she won
9:18Ben Mandelker: a pile of garbage congratulations two snakes so um eddie is now eddie is watching and this is just so funny because it's like they all are thinking that something illicit is happening and so jenna and joao are still talking and jenna's like i look like a bad person doing what i did to eddie He's like, no, no, no, just do what you want to do, but do it with respect. Something I've never really been able to do, but you should try it. So now Eddie's in his cabin, and he's beating his head on the bed. He's like, oh, I can't do anything right. It's so hard being a good man in today's world. No one respects a straight white male.
10:04Ben Mandelker: Well, anyway, Jenna, I don't want anything serious, but I've got to know Daisy, and regardless of what happens, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, look, it's Ben. Here's Ben. Hello. What's going on, Ben? And so Ben lays down next to them. He's like, hey, guys. They're like, oh, what's wrong, Ben? He's like, hello. He's like all mopey. He's like trying to be like a mopey cock block. But he's trying to also like kind of be sexy. Like, hey, guys. You know, just like, but he kind of falls over onto them. He's like, hey, guys. Hey, it's me. She goes, actually, can you just go down and get me another bottle of wine?
10:43What are you upset about, Ben? What's going on? And Ben tells us, I'm absolutely baffled by relationships right now. I've learned people generally will let you down. Jenna's meant to like me, and Joelle's meant to be my friend. I'm bloody confused. I'm bloody confused by it.
11:04Ben Mandelker: and so ben is like i'm gonna get up to leave even though i just came up here just to lay down what's wrong with him she's like right have we done anything wrong no i don't think so so then um now ellie and alicia are down in the crew mess and this is i mean what happens next is like season one down nabby with what was that name of that evil lady who like put the soap down she She was great. God, gone too soon. Yeah, she put the soap down for the pregnant mistress to fall over and lose her child or whatever. That was terrible. Yeah, so she was always working with Thomas. This is like Ellie doing that.
11:42Ben Mandelker: I forgot. I love that character. But Alicia is like, she's like, hey, pumpkin, what did I miss when I was napping? Oh, hello. Well, where do I begin? So Joel, Daisy, and Jenna were in the hot tub. Three different trash bags all together in the hot tub. and then Daisy leaves and then they were all over each other for like an hour Jenna and Joao and Lisa's like oh that's crazy and by the way don't trust her she keeps coming into her cabin and talking shit about you to Daisy like she was doing with Mike that's all she does so now as much as Elia says that she can't even stand Joao and doesn't want to look at him he's trash she's immediately angry at someone who she sees flirting with him I know I was pretty impressed in the first half of this episode that she wasn't coming for the woman and that she was like going to keep it on the man but nope she was she was just holding her she was biding her time so alicia's like wait what's you been saying about me all i've said is i like carbonara she's like i'm not getting into details i don't do that i'm not a bad bad bad talker okay but listen i think she fucking hates you alicia i'll tell you that like honestly snake she's evil to her core i promise you snake don't trust her evil snake are you doing big business to me yes we have got to get to the meeting the meeting so jen and joao get out of the hot tub having no idea that all this is going on It's time for a commercial.
13:18It's time for a Crappens commercial. Lately, I've been more intentional about what I wear day to day, and I'm leaning into pieces that feel easy and comfortable but still put together. It just makes getting dressed simpler. Quince has been my go-to. The fabrics feel elevated, the fits are clean, and everything just works without needing to overthink it.
13:39Ben Mandelker: Quince has all the wardrobe staples for spring. Think 100 % European linen shorts and shirts from$34. Lightweight, breathable, and comfortable, but still look put together and clean in 100 % Pima cotton tees with a softness that has to be felt, Ronnie. Their pants also hit that same balance, relaxed and comfortable, but still polished enough to wear pretty much anywhere. Everything is priced 50-80 % less than what you'd find at similar brands. And Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen. So you're getting premium materials without the markup. Let me tell you something.
14:12Ben Mandelker: That Mongolian cashmere sweater that I got from Quince, that is like a real icebreaker at parties. Because when people ask me about that sweater, I'm like, oh, I got it at Quince. They're like, oh, my God, I have one from Quince, too. And then we bond. You would actually would never think a Mongolian cashmere sweater could be such a bonding thing.

Is that what's going on here?
16:57Ben Mandelker: Well, it's okay. She's an attractive woman. She's a regular cheeky cheekbone, if you will. Oh, that really works well. So, Joelle's like, yes, well, I think you've misjudged character. Most of the conversation we had while we sat there was talking about you, and she likes you. Oh, really? Yes. alright well I just need to be very careful about who I fucking spend time with because the next girl that I choose I would like to have a family with alright sure man I already fucked it up I wasted five years of my fucking life time is so valuable man when you have a biological clock like I do so geez trade trade trade so now it's the next morning five hours until charter and Daisy Jen and And Daisy, the stews are all having a meeting.
17:48So Daisy's like, all right, crow mass, blah, blah, blah. All right, are we going to get some energy into ourselves? What's wrong with your girls? What's going on? You seem depressed. Are you depressed? And Alicia's like, no. Well, what's wrong there? Well, I just heard something last night. And I don't know. It's just apparently that whenever you go into the room that you're, like, bitching about me and stuff, Jenna. And Daisy and Jenna are both like, what? What?
18:15Ben Mandelker: and uh daisy's like what did you hear where did you hear that where what's going on she's like i thought we were all fine and i was like wait what she's like no no you two are my favorites of course you're the only two on my team but you're both my favorite of everyone on the team and i love you as part of my team i love you as a person and alicia i love you as the wide-eyed idiot that you are okay then we're back to being a dream team again absolutely even though Jenna's my favorite. She didn't hear that from me. Okay. Hands in the middle. Two, four, six, eight. Who do we appreciate? Jenna. Oh, sorry.
18:48Ben Mandelker: And Alicia. So they decide they're all friends again, and Daisy's like, I don't know where that fucking came from. People need to stop stirring shit and don't fuck with my girls. So Daisy knows who it was, though. She's like, Ellie thinks she's so smart, but I can read people like a fucking book. Do not fuck with me, Ellie. Is there any other option to read people as? I can read people as a label on a can. It's like, of course you can read them as a book. I can read people like a Tumblr blog. Which admittedly is mainly just porn and just visuals, but that's okay. I can read people like an ingredients list on the back of a cereal box.
19:33Ben Mandelker: I can read people like I can read Skywriting, which is, I think that's an A. I think that's a B. Are they writing abscess in the sky? I've just stumped myself. Damn it. Wait, it went away. Oh, well. Goddamn sky. Don't fuck with me, sky. I knew what I meant at one point. So Daisy and Jenna are walking together and Daisy says, I'm pretty sure that's all I. She's a shit star. I don't want to share a cabin with her. And so we just see Ellie dropping a carton of eggs. Oh, God, you betrayed the betrayed eggs. All right, Joao, come to my cabin. Come to my cabin. He's like, oh, okay, very excited. So he's like, I need to start thinking about cabins because it's definitely a female coming in.
20:26Ben Mandelker: So he's like, oh, well, we'll share, Daisy. That's okay. Well, you're a jerk, but I'm trying to keep the changes to a minimum. So my suggestion is you and I shower, you move in here. Ollie will move into Addy's room with the new stool and Eddie can move into Ben's room. And today might be a good day for that to happen because I think she's coming tomorrow. So let's go crack on. He's like, oh, oh, God, this is exciting. It's intimidating. I'm a little bit nervous. I'm zim-sighted. Oh, when I said zim-sighted, oh, God, did I mean it? My penis. I meant my penis. Ha, ha, ha. Wow. I'm excited. excited and scared so um you're just cabaret ready i've been singing all to this i've been quietly singing this recap here and there great i am cabaret ready but i know things now many simple things things that was one of the songs that was one of the songs i was considering honestly i've always wanted to sing that song as ramona whoa i'm excited and scared nice is better than different than good okay who knows everyone who knows because i know things now many wonderful things that i have been not to explore okay mama said don't be late i'm in the forest and i'm running from my daughter because she looks old now and i look young she looks like a wolf and i'm young anyway well me and joao sharing a cabin i think it'll be fun i have no issues bucking with guys and we see a flashback to how she bunked with gara so uh did you thought is i am the most unromantic person ever so now joao and ben are talking and ben's like joao's like Benji, change of cabins What seems easiest is if I moved into Daisy's room And Eddie moves into your room And that will be that Oh, well I see how it is We were once roommates And now you've decided to leave You know what we call this Okay, let's play a game What's the channel that focuses on African American programming?
22:44Ben Mandelker: BET And what is a biopic of a penis? Ray? Who's saying Where the hell is my husband? Rayot? Betrayot? Rayot? What do you do? What do you do when you go to the racetrack? I bet. And do you ever... Do you ever listen to that musician who sings, Where the House of My Husband? Rayot? Put it together. Okay, so we've got BET. and what is the one app I get rejected on every time I try to click on somebody's name? Raya? Yes. Now, adding L, we're good. Betraya? What is it? Okay. A small insect that could sing you. A bee. And how about a singer whose last name ends with songs? Trey. Trey songs. Come on, think about it.
23:46Ben Mandelker: Bee. Trey songs? No. Cut off the last part.
23:53All right. Redo. Redo. When Ellie is stewardess, she tends to drop... Trey's? Yes. All right. We've got it. I don't get it. Trey's bet? Trey's bet? What are Trey's betting on? God damn it. Retrayal, man. I'm talking about betrayal.
24:07Ben Mandelker: Okay. Here we go. Fill in the blank. Blank. Middler. Okay. From a distance. Wind beneath my wings. Big business. Outrageous fortune. For the boys. Down to the Beverly Hills. All right, you don't know any Bette Midler. That is a betrayal. That is a betrayal. I will not room with you anymore. Why didn't you say Ruthless people? I was almost there. So now Joao is telling Eddie that he's moving in with Ben. And Eddie's like, for fuck's sake, why are we doing that? What are we doing? They're supposed to do that. Why don't nice guys ever get to move in with girls? New girl. And Ellie's like, okay. So get that changed in the next hour so it's not chaos during dinner.
24:54Nailed it. Oh, you think you're upset? Well, guess who's with the trash can now? Me.
25:00Ben Mandelker: That's right. Now, nobody better take any shrimp out of my fingers for the rest of the day. So then Ellie's like, oh, I don't know what's going on with this Daisy and Joelle situation, but now they're moving in together. it's almost like they're targeting certain things to get a reaction out of me like no you betrayed the secrecy of the chief stew room by telling alicia what was being said to jenna so you're being kicked out of daisy's room that's what happened to get a reaction out of you it's a reaction to you so yes yes it's a reaction to you yeah so ellie takes her pillows into the new room and um eddie's like oh i like how you're taking your pillows as well it's like yeah because i make my bed so nicely and everything's clean i will keep mine clean bedroom unlike trash can bedroom with joao and daisy so so now joao and uh daisy are in the mess and um have not much to talk about it's really they really i mean they're they're chemistry it's really not much to talk about so we go to the galley and ellie is like well i don't know how daisy like i mean she pays no attention.
26:10Ben's like, well, she seems to be really unaware of everything, doesn't she? God. Terrible. Look at all this nothing Joao's been doing. God.
26:20Ben Mandelker: Yeah. And then, meanwhile, Daisy's still just, like, talking to Joao, and she's like, do you know what Ellie did? She's like, called up to Alicia and said, Daisy and Jenna bitch about you. Oh, that's a very strange Zim thing to say. She's such a fucking shit-starrer. And then, meanwhile, in the galley, like, five feet away, Ellie's like, and then when daisy left he spent like an hour with jenny in the hot tub and do you think we should let daisy know like he's making a fool out of her he's like shamelessly flirting with her and daisy like am i interrupting something huh uh what what no just interrupting the fine art of selling carrots for milk that's it just planning out the fruit plan for the week uh so daisy's I called her.

32:25Ben Mandelker: You know, we're like, We are a poor boy from a poor family. Sparing his life from his one.
32:37Ben Mandelker: And if we go, Wait, Big Hill comes in. I'm just a poor boy from a poor family. He's just a poor boy from a poor family. Sparing his life from his one. that that i'm already apologizing to people who are not watching the video because this sounds arranged it does look like every time we move this one every time we move this one the one to the left keeps opening its mouth for people who are only listening this is a great time to sign up to watch on patreon but yeah we're just fast forward 10 minutes it's just like a bunch of little eels all clustered together sticking out of a reef but then this one like obnoxious eel just pops up right in front of the camera and like blocks everyone from view like i'm the eel star they're all kind of singing too
33:45so good okay next up we have um a jellyfish this is a jellyfish it's a nice one though nice polka dots yeah it's pretty good yeah good this one this is a um influencer jellyfish who has one of those little drone cameras that just tracks his head as he yeah it's like yeah yeah
34:06Ben Mandelker: people are like what's that noise that's like oh it's a drone buy those poop shakes everybody buy those poop shakes listen does your stomach feel like jelly you need a better shake it's sort of like wearing ed hardy though like look at all those speckles it's like some influencer fish it's like no one respects this fish okay so now we go to um one of these long um i love those churro fish yeah it's like or it's like a it's like a it's like a like a fife like you know like like someone should pick it up and play it as part of a marching band and do like revolutionary war themes like it's i like these because they're they're kind of cute they're like i'm i'm slender that's my personality yeah i'm thin you know what then shaming is really mean too you does but i like it's just getting pushed by the current it's like you know what i'm not even gonna try i'm just gonna see where the current takes me i'm just the stick of a person uh we now this this is two fish in a row that we get that are making no effort they're just sick of the camera crew this one's just like i'm dead please stop filming me and then we get to this turtle who's also like i'm not even moving for you people anymore okay i'm just gonna float it's a red turtle also which i'm not used to this is very super mario coded we're so used to the green turtles we're like this sea turtle does not fall off the edge when this the sea turtle reaches the end of the coral it turns around and goes the other direction and then we get another our favorite couple the turtle and the starfish this is the best we love the turtle and the starfish this is uh for those who don't remember we have a big red starfish that's just on the bottom of the seafloor and we have this sea turtle that has just been hanging around it for a few weeks now Just, you know, coming around, courting it, telling it jokes, et cetera, bringing it coffee.
35:54Ben Mandelker: We love this duo. Yes. Now there's a podcast called Above Deck Podcast. Hi, girls. We love you. And they recap the fish report sometimes and explain to us what we're getting wrong. And I was watching a clip that they had on Instagram and they were talking about this red starfish and this turtle. And they were saying, you know, how I said, well, the starfish can't run. So this is just like the guy who's like, I'm going to find a girl without legs so that I can just like hit on her and she can never leave. Like Boxing Helena type thing. And they were like, no, actually, starfish do move. I know they move.
36:28I'm not like completely dumb. But then they put a video of all these starfishes walking all over, which was crazy. Yeah, they do. But don't they walk? I think it was a sped up video because starfish walk very slowly, don't they?
36:40Ben Mandelker: That I can't weigh in on. But when they walk, they sort of prance along the floor, which is kind of fun. you know creepy it's creepy as fuck i'll say that but anyway this turtle is the eddie of the sea it's just like but i'm still here but i'm so nice why won't you pay me any mind i'll just see i'm a good guy i'm a good guy all right so next up um oh my god the office boar look at this big red fish so this one is like guys um did anyone watch uh anyone that watch uh yester last night it was really funny like this this is someone who does not know about like what's going on with sierra like who's sierra miller again like they just don't know what like the pop culture things are they're just like yeah yeah i've just been um i just really watched reruns of two and a half and he's like anybody watched channel five last night did you know that there's a sitcom starring paul blart the mall cop he just ruins everything and he like sits down during the break at your table and you have to have a conversation with him.
37:44Ben Mandelker: It's like, what are you doing this weekend? Not much. I may reframe my windows. I'm actually working on a letter to the network to complain that I saw Jeopardy reuse a question last night. Saw it six years ago. I like that fish in the background, by the way. Sorry. There's like a, not that one, there's like a silhouetted fish to the left. To the left. no it's it's like below if you look it's kind of ominous it looks almost like the alien that one yeah look almost look at its jaw it has like almost it looks like it looks like a little whale but it's a fish it's like it's like a baby whale that just wants to be one of the fish it does look like a whale yeah you're a whale it does and this one's had too much groupon lip surgery this one over here they're like i'm so sick of looking like everybody else i'm getting my lips done they're like whoa whoa went a little far there buddy okay marie okay just because you saw an offer doesn't mean you have to take it like no you might do my lips not look good it was cheap it was two for one fillers okay so we go to this this is what is this a fish what is this thing so we see this little thing that like blooms into it looks like it's blooming into two orange pine trees or pine cones yeah this one was one of the stars of the week i think this is like amazing it just pops open and they put this right after mike got fired it was almost like yay it's like now this is how to do bad hair yes this is a real this is definitely someone who's on like fish broadway it's like hello oh okay i'm just doing a scene this is the book part of the musical and now the song starts playing yeah this is a number whatever this is amazing now we get the eel you know no this is i think i think this is a sea snake because i mean the body in the back looks a little bit like an eel but that's definitely a snake head that's not an eel head right you know snakes are i don't know but snakes are definitely scary looking things but when you really look at them are they look how cute this is cute i have to say this is one of the cutest snakes we've seen i had the same feeling i was like this snake is so cute it's just like moving around looking for things happy yeah it's like i'm gonna strangle you later but you know what i don't mean anything personal oh now we get a weird jellyfish who's just like what is it learning how to do the breaststroke What are you doing on the top of the water?
40:24Ben Mandelker: This jellyfish. This is a beautiful jellyfish, by the way. So it's a bright purple. It's got purples and pinks. It's just like a fabulous jellyfish, but it's also so dramatic. It's just like, I'm done. I can't go out on stage anymore. I've given all I can to the theater. And what do I get back in return? Nothing. And the little fish are like, come on, Susan, you got to get back out there. They want you. Come on. Come on. It's like, I will not. I will not look at anybody ever again. And they poke their head out from under. is everybody gone no you're still here get out get out look at you this jellyfish also is very rosy coated from real housewives of rhode island like this is basically what every dress looks like that rosie wears it's like yes this color and kind of the same ruffles but done right you know this dress this is cute okay then we get another amazing fish what the fuck is this what is this it looks like a flat leaf but then it starts like twirling itself like a i guess like a stingray moves you know how it can flap its wings or whatever what the hell is this it looks like gorgeous it looks like a piece of flotsam i'm trying to figure out where its face is i think it might be all the way at the back i don't know i can't figure this stunning if it's just if this by the way if this winds up being just like some leaf that's blowing around in the current and we're Like, look at this fish.
41:46Ben Mandelker: I'll be embarrassed. But I think it is a fish. I don't think so. It doesn't look like a leaf. I mean, look, it's got the thick. I mean, this is just amazing, whatever. I've never seen it. It's just seen American Beauty. It's like, am I a plastic bag blowing in the wind? I feel like the back is where its head is in a weird way, right? Look all the way to the right side. Well, this is its spine down the middle. All the way to the right. Yeah, because... That looks kind of like a head, but then it's swimming backwards. But then look, the head turns into like the leaf. and i think this is the head here this all the way to the left this triangle thing we need a marine biologist no that's not the head either this is absolutely stunning whatever this thing is i'm gonna take a picture of it and enter into google and see if it like comes up with anything um i'm gonna wait oh wait stop which shape do you want it paused in this one um no i like uh this that one yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna enter it in i'm taking i'm taking a screenshot and i'm gonna say what type of fish is this?
42:46Ben Mandelker: Okay. We're doing on-the-fly marine biology because that's the sort of podcast that we are right now. I don't think it's going to be able to get it, but I don't know. I don't think so either, but I'm going to ask. We're going to see. It says, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, without even me asking, it's called This Creature in the Image is a Spanish Dancer Nudibranch. Whoa, Nudibranch. It's one of the largest sea slugs in the world. How about that? wow i could see they call it a spanish dancer because it really does look like the flamenco dress that's beautiful yes spanish and you know what there was a fish last week that we said looked like a like a flamenco dancer okay so these are little are these little baby catfish what are these things they have it looks like it so it looks like there's two things going on here it looks like we got like a bunch of little baby catfish but then it looks like there's one of those lionfish that's just like watching it it's like oh my god it's gonna eat it or something it's one of the ones with all the hell razor prongs coming out of its head yeah yeah but then you got all these little baby fish coming out which is i'm like i don't know what's happening there i wonder if that's what these little hell razor fish look like as babies maybe it's not because i asked this question to dom and he looked it up while we were watching the show and said this is not what baby lionfish look like and look at the lionfish's uh whiskers they're like leaves they're like branches with leaves on them.
44:09Oh my God. The sea is just something else.
44:11Ben Mandelker: Is this lionfish like Gandalf and these little, he's like the little hobbit fish just to bring it back. He's like, come on, come quickly. We must deposit the ring into, into underwater at Mordor. I don't know. I love his outfit. I would say that he doesn't know how to put on the eyeliner. Cause he put it on vertically instead of horizontally. And he looks crazy. No, he's like doing, having a David Bowie moment. Are you trying to like go out to a club? or are you trying to get a key stuck into you? Because you look like a keyhole, sir. It's going to a club, let's be honest. Yeah, club. Okay, then we get a silverfish.
44:47Ben Mandelker: I wanted to highlight this one because look how silver it is. It's so metallic. It's like ongoing club night as well. It's also so basic. Like they showed Sutton Foster at the Met Gala and she's, it's like the Met Gala and she's wearing just like a plain silver dress and Hugh Grant's just wearing a plain tuxedo. It's like, did you even make any effort? like that's a pretty dress but you're in the ocean like what are you doing Sutton Foster but it is so classic I mean this is this is kind of giving Dorinda's um jazzercise suit you know or Dorinda size whatever she called her thing like this is this is definitely 80s metallics going on here in a classic way okay here we go tiny face coming out a little tiny face how cute oh my god it's bernadette peters yeah this is a very cute fish just a little face coming out of a rock yeah really cute but this and then and finally we have to end with classic shark on the floor the shark on the floor this time it's in a different place normally it's by the reef but this time it's like okay you know what i moved so that way you wouldn't follow me and you're still watching me.
45:58Ben Mandelker: And look, it's looking at us like, are you serious? I'm just trying to take a nap around here. And it's doing a down dog. It's like, oh, it's like breathing. His mouth is open. It's like, oh. I believe that would actually be, that would be like cobra pose or upward, up dog. Down dog is when you're. Down dog, you're right. When you know the, what do you call that one? When you come up from the down dog, you go down dog. No, you get into the plank position and then you come up with that one. It could be cobra or it could be. Girl, I don't know. You know what that's called? I haven't done yoga in 10 years.
46:30That's what that's called. Very good. Fish report. Excellent fish report. Great fish report. Well, excellent fish. I don't know how the report was, but it was a great fish. Yeah, great fish. Okay. That has been the fish report. Fish report. Fish report. Okay. So now Ellie in the galley is like, you know, Ben, I'm proud of myself because I had chance to react to certain things that have been happening and I didn't. Yes, you did. What are you talking about? You went and tried to ruin everybody's reputation behind their back. How is that not doing something?
47:03Ben Mandelker: It's like, good for you. Yeah, like this person is here, but like, I'm already kind of releasing their existence from my mind, if you know what I mean. Like they're very erased, as evidenced by the next several things that I will say. Erased. Mm-hmm. Yes, it is skill you learn after working C for eight years. But it's not easy, is it? he's like ellie is clearly slightly obsessed with joao yeah you think so um then we see like a montage of ellie's just saying things like you know you should have seen him last night after the hot tub have you ever seen a wet trash can that was him okay he's 35 he's sad i don't even get a give a fuck go away loser well the less you say on boats the better, right?
47:51He's like, I'm trying to be nice and friendly, but this is juvenile. I mean, scrap them, move on. Like, let's focus. Oh my God, I had a terrible nightmare last night. Daisy attacked me in my sleep, and I was trying to wake up, and I was like, please, Daisy, no!
48:07Ben Mandelker: The irony of Ellie having that dream when everyone else on the boat thinks that Ellie's going to do that to them, and they're not even asleep. So then Daisy is, like, asking about what the dinner is going to be tonight and the guests are arriving at dinner in their 80s outfits etc and so the first thing is going to be shrimp cocktail so since the guests are seated they're going to start putting the shrimp cocktail together so ben is putting shrimp in a glass and daisy's putting shrimp they're sort of like racking them on the side on the rim of the glass uh in a classic style so then ellie comes over she's like oh i will help i will help don't worry I thought that would help.
48:47So we can all help. It's fine. Don't worry. I was like, oh shit, Daisy. Daisy's got them. All right. Nice. And so Ben walks away and then Ellie just snaps the shrimp out of Daisy's hands and start doing it herself. And Daisy's like, oh, wow. She just goes and wipes her hand on a paper towel and now she's fuming. She's fuming.
49:10Ben Mandelker: Who the fuck grabs something out of someone's hand? Who does that? So Daisy is so mad. So she serves this rageful shrimp cocktail and everyone's enjoying it. And then downstairs, Ellie is like, 35-year-old fuckboy, what the shit? She's just still going off on Joao. So Daisy comes back and holds Joao's hands in the crew mess and Ellie sees it. So Daisy is like fighting the war on her own front, which I love. And Ben's like, oh, God, I'm actually, Daisy, Daisy, we're pretty good here. Come on back in here. And she goes, what am I taking now? New York strip, benays and pomps pure. So she takes them and she's still really pissed.
49:51So now Daisy and Alicia are in the hallway. It's like me and her are going to fight. I mean, what did she say to you last night? Tell me every bit.
49:58Ben Mandelker: It was more like about Jenna. She was like, you can't trust Jenna. She is a snake. What? Where was I during this? You'd gone to bed. Well, she obviously has a problem with me. I'm sure. And I'm fuming over this. Please don't say anything. I won't. But what the fuck do you think this is? days of our lives which by the way i don't know what that is i would say impressed with the international reach of days of our lives yeah alicia doesn't know she's like what what's that so now we go to daisy alicia ellie and betul they're all in the crew mess and ellie's like oh daisy are you upset with me you look very upset with me grapes four for five dollars four for five dollar grapes well i don't appreciate somebody grabbing shrimp out of my hands during dinner service when I'm trying to help.
50:45But it was because I was going to do it faster.
50:49Ben Mandelker: Oh, you're going to put shrimp in a glass faster? Faster than Icon? You know my name is called D-A-I-S-Y and the S stands for shrimp, as in shrimp in a glass putter. I know what I'm doing. But you were having trouble putting it from the two sides, so I was just standing on the side, and so I put it in. That's my job to help the chef. Well, yeah, that's also the job. It's also my job to help the chef. We're all a team. We're here to help. Don't grab something out to my hands when we're in the middle of dinner service. Oh, no. Goodness, Daisy. Calm down. You're very intense. Oh, you're doing this on purpose.
51:23I love it. Ellie's staying completely calm to call somebody else crazy. I mean, it's masterful.
51:28Ben Mandelker: I know, and it's so great. I also, I love how Daisy has no qualms putting people in their place when they've overstepped. I just love how assertive she is about this sort of stuff. and I find it to be very admirable. I also think it's hilarious that she's literally sitting there like yelling about shrimp. You just grab the shrimp out of my hand. You grab the shrimp out during dinner service. Yeah, and that's where Ellie's very smart, you know, because she did something where if she takes the shrimp out of Daisy's hand, she can just say, I'm in charge of doing this. I was just trying to help and not make service to it.
52:06What's the big deal? But she knows what she was doing. She knows. And now she can just sit here and act like, why are you upset she could have just said sorry i was in the zone i wasn't even thinking about i
52:17Ben Mandelker: just sort of like saw the shrimp and i was like oh here i'll just do it but uh she's like why you're getting crazy daisy what is wrong with you daisy do you need the people to bed hugging too much trash can lately going to brain gaslighting me left and right and center on real and then ally goes back into the galley she's like oh she's crazy mom like literal gaslighting love it they use the term so much on reality tv that i love when it actually happens it is so funny um and it's great this is such a good season i'm i'm loving i think that like blow deck down under i think they've never had a bad season i think this is like what this is season four four seasons in a row of just like great drama wow they're killing it on this one killing it that was a good one all right everybody thanks so much for being with us we will be back here next week go get tickets for our cabaret in new york for june 5th at 9 30 or if you want to watch on june 3rd there's going to be three live streams you can watch any one of them just find ticket links at watch what crappens.com and we will talk to you next time bye watch what crappens would like to thank its premium sponsors.
