#3391 Below Deck Down Under S04E18: Sins and Sensability

In short

Recap/discussion of Below Deck Down Under Season 4 Episode 18 (“Sins and Sensability”), centered on “Linen Gate” after chef Ben sleeps in an already-made guest bed, tears up the linens, and triggers conflict among crew and leadership ahead of the final charter.

Guest backgrounds

None. This is a Watch What Crappens-style episode with hosts discussing the show; no named external guests appear in the provided transcript.

Key claims

The hosts argue Ben’s behavior was disgusting and entitled, and his “victim” framing is rejected. They praise Ben as an entertaining, appropriately villainous chef addition and credit Daisy’s strong leadership and personality. They also suggest Eddie was largely absent from the finale episode, possibly due to prior events.

Notable examples

Ben removes the duvet and linens from a made bed; Joao and Ben clash, leading to a captain-led meeting. Jason questions whether incidents were “unsafe or traumatic,” then pushes for unity. Ben and Daisy/Joao reconcile; Daisy reassures Alicia while criticizing her performance. The episode ends with crew “hugging it out” and continued tension around promotions and respect.

2:32Ronnie Karam: like that we don't have the center one thank god that center one kills me i'm not i'm not a profile person i'm a straight on kind of a person yeah yeah no one ever likes me meeting me like this i i think it's a good angle for you um but uh yeah i i've just given up on trying to get a good angle i feel like it's just over um good angles are over good angles are a thing of the past good angles are things for your 20s and 30s and uh now i just have to accept the fact that i just don't have the angles that i want hair penis strength good angles it's gone good angles all gone but what we do have is some good tv to talk about we'll be talking about below deck down under season finale today also check out our patreon weekly bonus episode this week for the bonus episode we are doing a cast preview for Love Island.

3:22It's back tonight. But we're so busy with this cabaret. We are not going to be recapping Love Island this week. But we are going to do a breakdown of the cast for the bonus episode. Patreon.com slash watch what crappens. There's also Ronnie's newsletter, every listening, and all the great stuff you might want, including beautiful video. Look at this. Really nice video. so any who's so below deck

3:49Ronnie Karam: down under just ended very good season strongest below deck down under in decades probably one of the best below decks ever I think one of the best seasons ever I just thought it was so good I was really happy for Daisy because it's rough going from a different show sailing into this one And I think for a lot of shows, it wouldn't really matter because it's just below deck. But that really mattered because selling yacht was really put together on$5. Yeah. And a janky boat that was always about to tip over and fall into the sea. And a big sexual harasser. I mean, the sexual harasser, Gary. I mean, that whole show was very low rent.

4:35Ronnie Karam: And so this was her chance to come up into a higher rent show. And I think she killed it. Yeah. I was so glad that she got to be in a boat that wasn't listing sideways for half the season. I was like, she gets to be fully horizontal for a whole season. That was very special. Stuff was still falling to the ground and crashing. But that was because the first half wasn't really. It was really good. And I feel like the crux of the drama on the boat for the most part was really driven by professional, you know, issues as opposed to some like focusing too much on the personal stuff. We did have some, obviously some love triangles going on, but we had like just the right amount of it, I felt like.

5:13And so I thought the balance was right. The tone was right. Also, I really enjoyed that this last episode featured almost no Eddie. In fact, to a degree that I thought was almost strange, I thought like that something happened because he was, I think he only went to his Instagram. I actually think that's what happened. And I kind of feel like people saw his Instagram and were like, oh, yeah, let's not like center him on this. Because he was sort of a big part of the episodes leading up to the finale. And then he barely got any confessionals. He barely got any moments. It seemed like he was just like almost written out of the show.

5:50And I mean, I was glad. I mean, I think the guy was a piece of shit.

5:53Ronnie Karam: Well, I'll tell you what they did not write out was his terrible hair and his mustache. That was still there. So congratulations to them for making the final cut They were so bad they had to keep it So here we go Below Deck, Down Under, Season 4, Episode 18 Canawan and Dunn Yeah Funny Canawan and Dunn So where we left off Was the linen cliffhanger Of our lifetime Which is what will happen Now that Ben has taken The linens off of a bed that was already made. To sleep his slimy ass and greasy ass in that bed. That man smells like Franzia, spilled Franzia from three days ago. You know he does. That man is disgusting.

6:41Ronnie Karam: Get the fuck out of the bed. Even sleeping in the hotel. We're in hotels now, obviously. I slept in that bed and I was like, I wonder if someone like Ben came in here and slept on the mattress without a sheet on it. That is disgusting. I'm never going to forgive it. I'm never going to forgive it. Everyone online It's like, oh, it's so nice to have such a classy chef. He's not classy just because he has an accent. No. Okay? We need to stop with that. Let's not have an accent. Yeah. And so they're like suddenly classy. He's still trash. Yeah. Yeah. So he really sucks. I, yeah, I was, I still like don't, the fact that he, he's still really standing like 10 toes down in his excuses.

7:21Like I was yelled at, I was yelled at. And then it pivots to like, oh, I wanted to take myself out of the situation. No, you wanted to sleep in a nice bed because you felt like you were entitled to it. And you are trying to reframe it like you're the victim of Daisy. Oh, please, sir. The amount that you've yelled at people, that you've been rude to people, etc. And that you have to face the consequences of your actions. Like, I'm sorry. Sorry, I'm not buying any of it. That being said. I love his victim storyline.

7:50Ronnie Karam: He's like, I just had to get out of there. I was so hurt. Oh, I'm so traumatized. Grow up. You're like 50. You're a 50-year-old alcoholic. I'm sure you're yelled at all the time. Yeah, exactly. That being said, I think Ben was a tremendous addition to the show. Ben was amazing. Honestly, it's just been so long since we've had an egotistical chef on Below Deck. We've almost had chefs that are too nice or too okay. We need chefs that are a little deranged and a little pompous and are kind of like the world revolves around me because that really creates so much drama with the interior. It also creates good food.

8:27Ronnie Karam: I mean, I don't believe good people are good chefs. It's just a fact. You know, and you see them a lot on Food Network now because they're such a big celebrity chef culture. And you see so many chefs. And some of them seem so nice. And they're like packages where they're like, oh, my child. I'm doing this all for my child who's missing a knee or whatever. And we're all supposed to cry and shit. You know, if they're any good, you know, their child is missing a knee because they probably knocked it out because they were bad at soccer. like the parent. You know, they're bad. Bad people are good chefs.

8:55Yeah. Have you ever seen Top Chef and someone said, well, I had a really great childhood and I got straight A's and I don't know, I was captain of the basketball team and so I decided to become a chef. No, it's always like, I hated my parents. I did hard drugs. I wound up in the gutter and then someone gave me a chance to wash a dish in the back of a restaurant and I became a chef. Like, it's always that.

9:22Ronnie Karam: I know there's so many people who are like, I want to be a chef. I'm going to go to culinary school. You don't need an education. You need a heroin addiction and a recovery timeline and then a bunch of tattoos of pigs and bacon. And then boom, you're going to make it. Exactly. So like when Below Deck has like cheery, happy chefs, like that one girl, Alicia from like Sailing Yacht. I was like, why are you basing your time with this? Alicia from Sailing Yacht. She was just like this nice, sweet girl. Who's that? See, I don't even know who she is. I erased her from my mind. We need the ones who are a bit crazy.

9:56But they can't be so crazy that there's no way in for us. There has to be just enough intrigue or friendliness that we do sort of root for them at the same time in a weird way. But ultimately, we don't like them. If they're just too awful, like that one guy, Tom, who was Malia's boyfriend at the time, then they're just like that. Oh, yeah. He was terrible. yeah but like ben is that perfect you know mix of being entertaining you he doesn't drive you mad but then he can be so rude and he is like he he's like a villain he's like the exact right kind of

10:32Ronnie Karam: villain that you are he's enjoyable yeah yeah he's a he's a good addition i hope he keeps doing it really forever i hope so because also like his relationship with like he and daisy were so entertaining together you know because she's just does not take any of this bullshit in a way that I thought was like so great to see. I loved watching them sort of come head to head because like two very strong willed people who are both good at their job. I don't know. I liked it. I really liked their dynamic. And I liked the dynamic of just Daisy's attitude because she really is just such a, you know, she's like such a, a, a potty mouth pirate.

11:10Ronnie Karam: Yeah. We are like, how did you get on into luxury service on you? Like, it doesn't really make sense that she would even be in that position. but she's so good on the show. She's, and she seems to be so good at her job. I mean, this show's always had trouble because Kate and, you know, we had Hannah later had like the bitchy, but still funny quality. And then they tried to replicate that. They're like, okay, let's just try and find bitchy, funny chief stews. And that's just not always going to work. And then they finally figured out as long as we have a strong personality, that'll work. And Daisy's unpolished behavior is great.

11:46Ronnie Karam: And then, you know, you have Aisha on the used to be from this one, but now she's on regular, right? Med. She's on med. And, you know, her over like, oh, I'm so excited to be here. What are we having breakfast? Oh, you know, that that works because it's so extreme. But they've they've really got it down. And it's nice to see after Below Deck regular flavor because that was a night, you know, especially for you. I enjoyed that more than than you do. but yeah um i'm not sold on fraser as being like a really strong like i was gonna say yeah they haven't really got it with i think they're really like they're leaning into fraser because he's handsome and he's a gay he's a gay they're throwing and they're like it's like a little something and you know he's like british so he's like sarcastic but i i feel like i feel like a lot of stuff that fraser says feels very much rehearsed or it just feels like he's making i always like he's like winking at the camera you know and i was like like i don't know it's just It's not coming off as fun and effortless as it has.

12:48I mean, Aisha winks at the camera a lot, too. But that's also her vibe in a way that's funny. But Fraser is trying to come off like he's withering the way Kate is, but in a way that doesn't feel as smooth. Anywho, we've got more.

13:01Ronnie Karam: Bravo threw us a bony gay. Yeah. Okay, so let's go on. So, Linen Gate. Linen Gate. Ben and Joao are having a fight because Joao's like, you have to get out of the bedroom. I'm standing up for Daisy. And all of the ladies who have ever had to make beds. Get out of here. Making a bed is very difficult. Get out. Oh, really? You fucking be careful as well. Well, I went to the engine room and I talked. Oh, yeah, because it's a national fucking emergency, you fucking prick. How dare you? So then we go to the other people in the hot tub, which are Eddie, Barbie, and Daisy. And Eddie's like, they're kicking off at each other.

13:40Oh, no. I'll remember this you fucking wanker I'll remember The chef will never forget about the time

13:51Ronnie Karam: You tried to kick him out of the room he wasn't supposed to be And so he took off the lemons I will never forget I'll remember this Wanker It's like a thing you say After you burn down someone's home Not when someone says can you get out of that bed Feels like he just got pushed into a locker And now the bullies are far enough away That he can be like I'll get you wanker It's like you already got your ass here Or it's like you're the villain of a Saturday morning cartoon You're like Dr. Klaw and Inspector Gadget I'll get you next time Skeletor Me and Jowell are actually friends So it'd be nice if he had my back You know, he shouldn't be trying to Get me out of a guest cabin I locked the door for a reason It's been a really long season I haven't been sleeping well at all You know, two, three hours max Well, that's just not true That's not true You've been sleeping in the primary bedroom every single charter.

14:45Ronnie Karam: You have wine like it's water. You sleep. I'm so sick of drunks saying they can't sleep. You sleep just fine. Yeah, exactly. Trust me, I know. If anybody will know, it's me. So they're all very upset about this and everything. And Joao is like, now he's back in the hot tub and he's talking to Alicia. And he's like, well, that's wonderful. And he's like, did it? He's like, no. He said no. Of course I said, I told you I wouldn't. So now Daisy asked Joao to have a cigarette with her. Daisy really just does not care. Smoking can go out of style. Daisy does not care. She's going to smoke until she's dead.

15:22Ronnie Karam: She's just one of those people. Daisy's a bowling alley person. You know, I grew up working in the family bowling alley, and there's just a specific kind of person you look at, and you're like, that right there is a bowling alley person. You know, tried and true. I guarantee you Daisy can bowl a turkey. Yeah. Like an actual one. She will take a turkey and send it down the lane. Listen here, you lazy fucking turkey. Look, it's not square. That means it can roll. Okay, let's get it down the alley. Strike. Buff that turkey. So she checks in with two hours. She's like, are you okay? And he's like, that was a big cluster zim.

16:00Ronnie Karam: I said this about sleeping in a bed you guys have made for charter. I said, I'm standing up for all the women who have burned their bras for decades to not have to remake beds in the morning and we are going to be a team and respect each other and then he tore up the bed and he said well now it's not made and the girls can make it in the morning and then he said do you think you need a stewardess or a chef all the airway go fucking brilliant ego you know fucking selfish behavior we spent a lot of times getting those beds ready for charter and now we have to redo all of that work i mean look to be fair daisy it's making a bed like you're gonna remake the bed it's you know what it is making a bed but it's also oh it's making a bed it's like it's just it's that one thing it's like that it's like 10 minutes sometimes you just that's like 10 minutes you don't get to just put your feet up you know it's all because yeah and sometimes that 10 minutes matters beds it's like one thing to tidy up your bed it's not that they have to like do they have to hang out they have to deal with the fitted sheet and like dealing with the fitted sheet is like just dealing with the worst person in the office so they have like the worst person in the office the close talker who just had a tuna sandwich and you're like uh i don't want to have to do this right now i just want to go back to my desk so i can check it sounds like a confession these are my confessions yeah because it's like to deal with a person version of a fitted sheet is like a lot of manhandling i feel like that's how gary deals with people like fitted sheets It's like, ah, come.

17:35No, I feel like that's how the fitted sheet feels about us. The fitted sheet feels about, I think the fitted sheet, it's like, here's this thing that theoretically, it's supposed to fit on a mattress. So things that fit, usually it's an easy thing. You just put it on. You think it's like putting on a hat, like a shower cap. You just put it on. But no, it's never that easy. Is it going this way or that way? And then it's getting all scrunched up. And then this one's that. And then you put like a one corner on, another one pops up. It's like, it's not making your life easy. And you're like, all I wanted, all I wanted right now was to be doing anything else than dealing with this fitted sheet.

18:09That's true.

18:10Ronnie Karam: That's a good point. That's all I will say, you know, I complain about aging and stuff and like what it's done to my brain, my wiener, my body, my hair, everything else. But one thing it has done, it has given me the ability to work with a fitted sheet. I'm actually able now to just throw the fitted sheet on and it's like the corners go. I haven't fucked up a fitted sheet in like at least two years. it's not weird you should join the fitted sheet Olympics you'll be like Marty Supremo fitted sheets or something oh I hated that movie I didn't see it what was that movie why did they make anyway I hated that it made me mad that movie I had something here it was terrible that movie I did there was like a period of time probably I think it was like 2011 or 12 I became determined to be able to fold a fitted sheet nicely no no I don't fold them I don't think you're supposed to fold a fitted sheet.

19:03Well, here's the thing. You remember our friend Angie, the blonde Angie? The chef? No, not Angie the chef. Angie the model.

19:14Ronnie Karam: Oh, yes. Oh, yes, yes. She lived in the Nightmare on Elm Street house in Los Angeles, which was great. She one time was like, oh, you don't know how to fold a fitted sheet? I can do it with just like two hands. just you know like like she's like i could just do it like standing up and and i felt like a challenge to me i was like i've got like she made it seem like everyone knows how to fold a fitted sheet like once you reach a certain point in life you just know how to do it so i i sat there and i like i practiced and i learned and i actually i actually made a youtube video back in like 2011 or 12 on how to fit fold a fitted sheet which is hilarious you can look it up everyone um but uh But with that method, I laid it out on a bed and this thing.

20:00And then Angie was like, oh, no, you don't have to lay it out on a bed. I was like, really? She's like, yeah, you can just do it in your hands. Now, part of me wonders, was she bullshitting? But I learned how to do it. I learned how to do it. And it does not serve me well at all. Like, that was a waste of my time. Because, like, everyone has your response. Just bunch it up.

20:18Ronnie Karam: Yeah, I mean, it kind of straightens itself out because it's stretchy. But I do have a very wrinkly. The point is, fitted sheets are a pain in the ass. And now Ben has caused the staff to have to engage with them yet again. And I think that is a crime against humanity. You're right. I shouldn't say it's just a bed. Yeah. Just remake the bed. That's not cool to say. You know? But part of me is like, just make the bed. Like, I don't know. It's in my heart to feel like that. Have you ever? I think because I have to tell myself all the time, like, Ronnie, it's just a fucking bed. You don't have to cry every single week when you change your sheets.

20:52Ronnie Karam: Here's a question. And I do. like i'll literally cry i'll stay in bed an extra two hours because i'm like it's the day to change the sheets i don't want to change the sheets and i have to be like ronnie it's a fucking sheet i get up and change the sheets you don't even have to do the duvet today just do the sheets and i still it upsets me so when i see her doing it i'm like just do the fucking that's like i'm projecting you're projecting yeah i'm about to say have you ever made like a sandwich and then like has your like sister or your niece been there but like oh can i have a sandwich also and then you're like just about to eat your sandwich and like gotta make another sandwich well yeah that's like a That's a lot more prep.

21:25But it's annoying, right? And that's what this is. It's not hard to make a sandwich.

21:29Ronnie Karam: Well, and also, you're not a person who should even be eating the sandwich. You're an employee. You should go back to the fucking guest cabins like everybody else. You should have to hear Eddie jerking it every night just like anyone else would. Yeah. It's not in that terrible mustached idiot's room. Yeah. Come stained mustache. Okay. So.

23:42Ronnie Karam: Well, uh. Well, if he wants to put our friendship on the line, it's not my choice. It is. At the end of the day, you get nothing for nothing. And we're here to do a job. And if you're going to be the head of the Zim You must act like the head of the Zim Well next time he goes to make dinner For the Charger guests I'll go in and eat it Just tell him to remake it He's like well you guys kind of do that sometimes Well this is the turning point That friendship is gone because he made it personal Oh jeez Wow such a drama queen too Calm it down Well I'm glad you took a stance tonight Enough is enough I'm going to bed So Alicia at the hot tub Is like you know what Jenna You want to fight him I'll fight him with you And say I'm fighting the whole guy I'm fighting the whole guy I don't give a fuck Let me out of him So then Joao and Daisy Are cuddling they're going to the cabin And he's like cuddles will make you sleep well Oh that's sweet Tell me something do you like the smell of Cigarette Do you like a little spoon that smells of Marlboro lights.

24:49Ronnie Karam: Do you like the smell of old Zim and flop sweat smell? I do. Perfect. Let's get together. I think this is also why I have lowered my pity levels for the bed remaking, because Daisy is still trying to make me feel like she has feelings for Joelle, and I just feel so lied to, and I'm like, stop treating me like a fucking idiot. I mean, I am an idiot, but I can tell you guys, even me, even I can tell. It's not real. This is bullshit. Just stop. So Barbie goes, tells Ellie. She's like, oh my God, this boat needs help. Ben went into the cabin and pulled off the duvet, which is my favorite piece of gossip I've heard in a long time.

25:29Did you hear? Ben pulled off the duvet. Hospitalize that man. What? Wait, you already made it for the guests? Oh no. He's just like, yeah, it just sucks because we've been busting our asses all day and we have like charter tomorrow. Oh no, no, no. I would have been pissed as well. I was surprised that Ellie was actually sort of sympathetic. I guess it's because Barbie said it because I kind of assumed Ellie. Ellie is very much like, I am team Ellie now. Like everyone else can die. You know?

26:00Ronnie Karam: Ellie's, you know, the good thing about Ellie, if Ellie was playing football, she'd be running one way and then she'd grab that ball and just start running the other way. Like she can go on any team she wants. You know? She's a mercenary. She doesn't really care. Yeah. She'll switch teams. Yeah So Ben Tattletales As I said as Joao walked away He was like the little kid who just got smacked on the head By a bully and he's very much like I'm talking to the teacher now We'll see how you like that When your parents are dragged in here for parent teacher conference My nanny sure didn't like it I'll tell you that So he tattletales And he texts Jason Hey Jason just letting you know that Daisy tried to come at me tonight.

26:45Ronnie Karam: So I put myself in the guest bedroom to stay out of this situation. And actually, I feel like what was rough was that we didn't really go back and see that. Daisy said, I'd like to talk with you. And he said, no, Daisy, not tonight. It's not happening tonight. We'll talk tomorrow. Go fuck off. He said that to her. And he's like, oh, she came at me. That is actually such bullshit. And because he's creating the narrative, so that the narrative is that could be daisy's crazy i mean daisy was going to confront him but literally all she said was can we talk and he literally dismissed her so condescendingly and rudely and then he's gonna act like he was the one who was the victim i mean she did come at him but she he start i mean he started it by being rude to her and then she came at him yeah that's what i'm saying she reacted to him daisy will come at like everybody like daisy would work at a puppy farm and be like, ah, fuck you, you little tiny puppy.

27:45Ronnie Karam: Get the fuck out of here. I mean, the puppies would be terrified, but then they just realize, you know, that's just Daisy, and then they follow her anyway. Daisy working at a puppy farm is very funny to me. Puppy farms are not great. So then Joao, but Joao also tattles. That's the thing, is dual tattling. Joao's like, well, Cap, I confronted Ben about sleeping in an already made guest zim, and it didn't go well, so we should talk tomorrow. and we see jason we hear jason receives the text and we just hear him behind the door going oh my god because listen what have you guys not learned about have you met jason jason does not want to do any of this okay jason is playing wordle like he does not want to deal with your asses little that's generous that's generous he's playing wordle yeah i guess he wouldn't be playing wordle i don't know what game jason would play he probably i feel like jason just goes into his room and just kind of like stares at a wall and just turns off like a robot i feel like he reads like master and commander or something like that he just sits there reads it over like something over and over again he's like it's like a moby dick kind of a guy he's like just like oh god damn that whale you'll get him one day persistence is key he's just never finished so just keep going he'll get that whale maybe reads choose your own adventure he just has bearing he just has such a blank look in his eyes you know you know how the eyes are a window to a person's soul like you look into his eyes and it's just there's just nothing there i don't know well you ever seen anything in there uh look no no i was not that's probably accurate no no not you i think you get that look when when you're chasing the whale for your whole life oh that's true you know call me ishmael Call me Jason I just want to put a kimono on a whale one day That whale smells like sandalwood So now it's the next morning Five hours till Charter Oh my god I can't believe we're picking up Charter today So much drama last night She kisses you out Then we go to Alicia and Batool And she's like You did the right thing going to bed again last night It turned into fucking chaos Meow Yeah, but she was like, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

30:02Daisy then is like telling the girls to check the cabins, especially the one that Ben slapped on. And then Jason goes over to Ben's, the room that Ben crashed in, squatted in. He's like, good morning, what happened? He's like, well, at dinner, she yelled at me and said, also, I was awoken. They were just sniffing around for fucking drama and bullshit, in my opinion. you literally caused the drama and people were reacting to you. Also, I wish they had shown when he said I was awoken, I wish they had shown him doing his little kangaroo boxing when he got startled awake with his little fist going Oh!

30:40Ronnie Karam: Yeah. That's how I used to wake up. Everybody was terrified of waking me up. I was vicious. I was violent. I'm pretty docile, but there was one time where Dom woke me up and I did a Spider-Man thing I'm like that's He was like whoa It was the most random thing

31:07Ronnie Karam: So He's like yeah they were sniffing around For drama it's bullshit in my opinion Alright let's get this sheet off You can see why they got riled up right Because they've got a 24 hour turnover And you're sleeping in the bed Just cop it on the chin he's like okay and by a cup of it on the chin I won't do that at all it's like alright I'm going to get all sides of the story so let me get to the bottom of this and then when I get to the bottom of it I'm probably going to take a nip alright let me get to the bottom of this the bottom of a bag of peanut M &M's alright I'm going to take care of this now I did like this because Ben was clearly put in his place which was so funny because with anybody else Ben will not be put in his place, but like the daddy figure comes in.

31:53Ronnie Karam: He's like, okay. And then the rest of the episode, he's like, I was wrong. I'm sorry. I mean, the captain was doing the sheets with him. Well, I guess they just took the sheets off. But still, either way, it's like the captain came in and had to tend to this. Like, that's bad. Yeah. Well, you were worried that Eddie was cut out of the episode. I know you missed him. And he was in here. They have a scene of Eddie right now. It's Eddie's big finale seen Eddie farts in the laundry room. Great one. That's exactly what you need to do with fresh laundry is farting it. Great. Thank you. So then now Jason's wow around the bridge and Jason's like, so what happened last night?

32:33You've got three seconds before I got stopped my nap. It's like, well he went and slept in the guest zim and that was already made and the girls were hard enough to get it last charter for the last charter and you know, I opened the door and I got up and he blew up at me.

32:45Ronnie Karam: Was it threatening? Was it unsafe? it's like how bad is this okay this is like the do i need to do something uh i checked with claude ai on what the questions you're supposed to ask in an hr type situation so please bear with me was it threatening was it unsafe and oh what's this one here oh my goodness i am so so sorry i didn't understand what you meant by that i will check that again uh give me one moment i apologize deeply like stop you don't have to read everything but the ais but google did that to me last night I looked up a question. I was like, how do you make the cursor go to this part in the Final Cut Pro thing?

33:22And it was like, just press Command J. And I was like, that didn't work. And it goes, I am so, so, so sorry. Oh my God. You're so right. When I told you Command J, that was for a totally different application. The real key is Command Arrow. I am so sorry.

33:45Ronnie Karam: I am so embarrassed all the time. I got told off by mine the other day. Really? Because I was in the car and we have all of our, I have all of our music for this thing on a playlist called Forbidden Housewives because that's the name of the show. So if you say, hey, Claire or whatever, Sue, hey, Sue, play Forbidden Housewives. And normally she'll play it. But the other day in the car, I don't know, like, was I drunk? I mean, I wasn't. I was driving. but I was like hey Sue play Forbidden Housewives and she's like forbidden by blah blah and the song comes on I was like no no no Sue Sue Sue Sue play Forbidden Housewives she's like forbidden love by blah blah blah blah they're all like heavy metal songs I'm like Sue I did it one more time and she got some other forbidden bullshit and I finally went Sue you stupid godfitness god damn it she went that is not necessary to speak to me I'm like she started telling me off.

34:42Excuse me. I'm doing the best that I can. You know, like I get a little confused sometimes and I just try to get songs I think you would like.

34:49Ronnie Karam: Yeah, no kidding. She's like, excuse me. Sorry for trying to broaden your horizons, you know, but if you need something to do on your time off, the rain in Spain falls gently in the plane. Okay, let's work on addiction. Okay, I'm not a miracle worker here. Yes, he's a difficult one. So Joao says, no, it was not threatening unsafe, but he broke the bed up and, you know, like, well, you know, He said, now it's not me. Do you want a chef tomorrow? Do you want a stewardess tomorrow? So now we see Daisy talking. Jason just stares blankly like, that is actually quite a riddle. I'm going to get to the bottom of this.

35:24Like many people have said to our charter primary, I'm going to get to the bottom of this.

35:31Ronnie Karam: So now Jason and Daisy are in the bridge and she's like, I was fucking pissed, but I knew what the consequences would be. I'd already had a bust up with that van at dinner. He's like, good to know. Was it threatening or unsafe? Nah, yeah, you can't have a reasonable conversation. Who cares? He's like, well, I'm going to get everyone together. Oh, geez. To say that I'm disappointed is an understatement. Mainly that I haven't found Moby Dick. About this stuff, I don't know. I wasn't really paying attention to what they were saying. A lot of peanut M &Ms to get through. Going to the final charter, personalities are being tested, but they're experienced and mature individuals, and we can't afford them to clash.

36:09So we're supposed to be blowing it out of the park This is unacceptable

36:13Ronnie Karam: Well, but Ben did, I'll tell you this Everyone is super upset about it Nobody can go on with their day Everyone's walking around saying Did you see the unmade bed? Did you see the unmade bed? It's like Ground Zero up there She's acting like it's all the people watching Watching, you know, buildings burn After Independence Day Yes So there's more cleaning that's happening And in the galley, Ben sees Ellie He's like, good morning, how are you, sunshine? I guess sunshine's acceptable So I had to take myself away last night Oh yes, I left shortly after And went to bed, I was like I am done with this You know, sous chef humor Hint, hint Oh, but then it got worse Didn't it?

36:58Ronnie Karam: I went to the master cabin I locked the fucking door And Joao found the fucking keys I mean, just stay out of it If you're my friend, stay out of it Well, I mean, you and I would have been pissed as well if we had prepped the galley for a charter and somebody came in here and cooked and left all their shit. He's like, please don't use logic on me. You will no longer be getting a raise. You will no longer get a promotion. I wouldn't have started World War II over it. I'm like, literally, Daisy said to you, crew lunch at 11, and you spent the rest of the charter undermining her by making her deboned red snappers at the table.

37:37The answer is yes, you would have started a war.

37:40Ronnie Karam: I mean, you wouldn't tattletail to the captain. What is that if it's not starting a war? Yeah, exactly. Now it's time for a meeting. All right, M &M, hello. Get back to work. It's like, that is a beam. So Jason radios the heads of department to meet on the upper deck. Now, now, we have to clean up this mess. I've had to talk to all of you. I feel like I'm across what happened. All right. So whatever was going on last night, he pulled himself out, and he pulled himself in a room. that is unacceptable. Now I've got one question for you. Was it unsafe or traumatic for anybody here? He's like, oh, I've listened to everyone.

38:19I'm going to say my piece. I'm going to say a lot of things right now that really mean nothing, but it's okay.

38:25Ronnie Karam: Look at how long this paragraph is. It's so long. Is this the vagina monologues? What the fuck are you talking about? I've never heard this man talk this much in his whole life. yeah i i was not i did not think he would say that he's like do you remember where we were at the start of this when we all came together and we said this would be the nucleus and for those keeping track that's the second time that nucleus has been said on bravo in the past 48 hours the first time strangely enough kelsey from real housewives of red island when she said this is the nucleus of the problem who'd have thought nucleus is the buzzword on bravo anyway i'm getting getting lost here the lack of accountability miscommunication missing whales, egos, peanut M &Ms.

39:06We've got to get past this. Okay? We've got to be bigger people in this.

39:09Ronnie Karam: From the mouth of the king, can't we just all get along? Excuse me, I believe that was Rodney King. Whatever. Point is, the point is the same. Can we just get along? I do not like having to come out here and say so many words. Did anybody know what the fuck I was just talking about? Or I have a very important question for everybody. Would you rather have a chief stew or a chef? All right, think on that. I can't get to the answer. It's the philosophical question of the day. We've got a big charter coming up. We've got a fussy gay and a man who only eats pizza. So get ready for it. I want to show experience in professionalism.

39:52And I don't want any of this passive-aggressive behavior. I want absolute unity. Can we do U-N-I-T-Y?

40:01Ronnie Karam: There is no U in unity. Actually, there is, Captain. Well, there's no I in unity. There is. There is, Captain. There is no S in unity. That's a good one. Very good one. That's true. Unless you were trying to say sunity, which isn't a real word. But if you were trying to say it, there would have been an S. Just saying. I just like to think about. I like to anticipate things. Now, listen. You've got a lot of hatred towards each other right now. I want us to all focus our hatred On the most obnoxious gay human being To ever walk the earth Because he's about to come on this boat Surely that'll bring us all together Alright I do feel inspired by that Knowing that there'll be someone worse than all of us Coming on this boat Makes me realize we're out to pull up After you meet this gay You will want to pull off the fitted sheet yourself And strangle him with it Right Let's get back to work So Ben's And by the way, then Jason's like By the way, one last parting shot Let's dig deep And by the way You were wrong, Ben You shouldn't have done that thing So Ben's like, I don't like Jason being snappy with me I obviously let him down in some capacity So I take this to heart I take it personally Just as I did when my fiancé left me before the wedding I paid for a wedding without ever having got the wedding I take things personally I'm sensitive now.

41:28Ronnie Karam: What a shocker. I've been betrayed by Captain Jason. Just the latest in a long stream of betrayals. Hey, bud. So, I'm sorry I did it like that, but in Zimbabwe it's a custom to unlock people's doors and say, get out of that bed! So you can understand where I was coming from. Sometimes it's the only way to get the water bill paid. When I screwed up I had just been in a deep sleep. What I was trying to do was avoid drama. It was like why I took the room I wasn't supposed to, locked myself in, and then took all the sheets off the bed. You know, but that's where it all came from. But whatever happens, I still want us to keep our friendship.

42:12Like I said to Ellie, can we just still be friends? Because I love you, man. I do. I love you, Zim.

42:18Ronnie Karam: At the end of the day, you really need to remember, it's hims before zims. Are you sure that's not the other way around Which one has boobies Alright I love you I was just apprehensive going into this Because I thought wow what a prick he is This morning and that's the first thing on my mind But thank god you're back You're back on the right side So they hug and they make up And then Jenna walks back and says I love that kid I hugged the man up I love that kid I hugged the man up And then Jenna and Eddie are in the main salon He's like how are you this morning I'm good because nobody's angry at that.

42:55I'm not sure I understood what you said, but it seems like it was said in a happy way. Yeah, I'm trying to end my stress back. What's the opposite? I will marry you.

43:04Ronnie Karam: No, I'm just saying I'm a straps back. Straps, trying to get my straps back. You're trying to get a strep throat? No, straps. Straps, I want straps. Picnic on the beach. No, never mind about it. The barn up on the hillside's on fire. What are you trying to say to me? so now um daisy asks alicia she's doing okay after their big talk last night where she had to be like uh you're not the second stew because you're a fucking moron okay but i still love you go back go back to your little life of mediocrity my love right and um then daisy is like you know i just want to let you know it's not that you don't have potential you're just you're a huge asset to the team the sort of asset that you say this asset doesn't have potential but she's sort of helpful right now in a way that's not really that helpful.

43:52You know what I'm trying to say, Alicia? I do. Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.

43:56Ronnie Karam: Let me tell you, asset wouldn't even be a word without us. And you are one. So we thank you for that. And so does the English language. But I have a question. What? You still haven't told me where. Where what? You keep saying asset, but where do you sit? No. Oh, God. Alicia. Okay, you're more hopeless than I ever thought. So Alicia's like, oh my God, thank you. Thank you for being so understanding. I'm just going to get toilet paper for every room. Okay, well, you know, go on. Go on and earn the second strides, girl. You know, at the beginning of the season, my mother said, don't bother going to culinary school because you won't make it.

44:40And I thought, I could be a chef. I could make something in my life. But now I realize this is my path in life. saying, I'm just going to go put toilet paper in rooms now. Thank you, Mama, for putting me on the right path.

44:52Ronnie Karam: Whatever works for you, just get the fuck out of my face. So now we go to the galley, and they go to, he goes to Daisy's cabin, and he's like, oh, look at the name on your door. Sorry, it's Daisy. He's like, I'm surprised. I'm surprised at the name on your door. I'm surprised it doesn't say, Daisy, Queen of Sheba up there. I'm working on it. Right now they just say I'm the Queen of Parliament You know what I'm saying And Ben is like Well I'm sorry that I slept with my guests Come in last night I don't want to turn anything south I just wanted to remove myself This is the new version of the story I just wanted to remove myself Well I appreciate the apology Because I know it's not easy to say sorry Especially to the Queen of Sheba herself But I'm sure you're aware of how much Of a fuck you it is to the girls And their hard work and they were really upset and rightly so.

45:44And I see how hard you work, but there's an essence of like, I don't really respect the crew. I'm sorry I wasn't listening to any of that monologue because you're just a girl.

45:53Ronnie Karam: Queen of Sheba, what a babe. All right. God, no one really gives her enough credit in this world. When do you go to Halloween and see people dressed up as the Queen of Sheba? Queen of Sheba, more like the Queen if she doesn't shut up. You know, sometimes I don't look at other people's views. I'm selfish sometimes. I know that. You don't mind if I take your pillow What is this down This is actually very very nice Do you like the smell of pomade On your pillow because I'm about to Alright Leslie this was a good talk See you later Just wanted you to know I've got respect for you Alright tits You know she's like look And last night I wanted to talk to you about You know you've been given these Who challenges with Ellie And her ego is massively inflated And she does my fucking not in She does my fucking nut in We gotta go back to Ireland She does my fucking nut in She does my fucking nut in Well she's a tough one but she's making Really good headway in the galley She's doing things that are almost sous chef And she's giving me 60 % off of her only fans Well I also overheard you asking Jason About promoting her But I don't know your decision's gonna be But like the way that she has behaved this season She's lucky to have a job Well you know she's come a long way She's a very skilled worker But Daisy's right There's a reason she's come so far And it's because she was a bloody disgrace So an elevated title Could give her a nuclear bomb You are my friend And I want you to know that I like you a lot for the next ten minutes Until I yard you again You're my friend too Despite what I might say And the englement etc So Jacqueline Great knowing.

47:42Ronnie Karam: Let's stay together. Let's stay. Oh, it doesn't even know my name. Queen of Sheba, it is to you. Um, so then, uh, Joao comes out of the bath. Uh, Joao comes out of the bath. And they're like, whoa, this entire time. Whoa. What the hell? He's like, uh, Ellie's in there too. Ha ha ha ha ha. Uh, so now, um, they, everybody hugs it out. Now, now they're all fine. That's nice. Everything's great. Everything's like heads of department. More like heads of friendship. I mean, just, two seconds ago. So I was like, I can never be friends with someone like that. Take my friendship and burn it. Burn it. I will never trust somebody like that again.

48:20Ronnie Karam: How dare he treat the sheet fitting women this way? Can we be best friends again? I just want to protect our friendship. He's like, wait a second. I just realized I'll never get another lemon meringue cheesecake if I stop being friends with Ben. So Ben then goes and apologizes to Alicia. I say, oh, it's okay. And then Batula's, well, Batula and Maddie are on deck. And she's like, I don't know why I'm feeling so happy. I'm so fucking happy. Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow. It's like, uh, Batula, could you please stop scratching at the side of the wall there? Commercials. Here comes one right now. Summer always changes how I'd get dressed.

48:59I want pieces that feel lighter and more breathable. Things that are easy but still pull together.

49:04Ronnie Karam: That's why I keep coming back to Quinn's. They focus on high-quality essentials that feel and look amazing.

51:06Ronnie Karam: so alice's banished like what happened i was working so hard last charter to prove myself and i thought i was going to end the season as a sous chef but i guess that's not happening am i a sous chef questionable he's like no well okay well i'm glad that you brought it up let's let's talk about that when we crush the season okay we still have work to do and i think that We both have to prove ourselves. And I'm just going to put myself in the walk-in freezer. You just close the door and you just find me as a frozen corpse. I guess that's how I just don't want to have this conversation. Well, I have been proving myself.

51:39Ronnie Karam: I have been. Well, I know you have. So now she's like, oh, what the fuck is going on? First he dangles promotion in front of my face. Now you've given me tasks to complete to prove myself. I've rolled ham. I've rolled ham into little tubes. Why do I not have promotion? i taught people the virtues of eating soap with your eggs cleans out the system quite literally i mean actually i kind of think she has a point here in the sense that not that she deserves a promotion but like you can't tell someone i think we're gonna i'm gonna promote you oh sorry i'm not gonna promote you like that's that's just like fucking with someone and that was that was poor on his part he should never have said something until he knew yeah that's true but also everybody on this show is like where's my promotion you've worked here for six weeks and you've all kind of sucked in your own way.

52:24Ronnie Karam: So stop with that. They really have. So 15 minutes until guest arrival and here we go. Brandon for his like 10th tour of duty on below deck with Carmen and their friends. And so they arrive and he's like, hey Quinn. And they've also got this guy with them. I forgot his name, but we'll see what his name is soon. But he's like, hey, I'm from New York. I'm from New York. I'm a simple guy. I'm from New York. I got a really picky palate. I'm from New York. That's how we are. Forget about it. Yeah. Yeah, he's a lot. How did these two get combined? Yeah, I'm not really sure. Brandon, I think, was like, you know what?

53:00Ronnie Karam: As the most obnoxious gay person on the planet, I'm going to travel with the most obnoxious straight person on the planet. We're just going to see. It's going to be a battle to the obnoxious death. So a few weeks ago, Daisy and her podcast partner, Mark, were on our show. And we were just talking about Blow Deck. And we asked Daisy, what is going on with some of these charters? Because it seems like the people don't even know each other. Does casting put them together? and she said it's not that casting puts groups together it's that a lot of times it's hard to find people to come on the boats with with the primaries and so because like it's during a work week or it's during it's like expensive or like people are not available so they wind up people wind up start going out you know they they invite their friends who can't make it and their friends friends they just start start to reach out to these like people like at the end of your face you're at your life you're going as deep and then maybe someone says oh i've you know so and so so So it's just, it's like people wind up with whatever like Jetsam and Flotsam they can find off of their friend lists.

53:55Ronnie Karam: So Ben comes up to Brandon to discuss lunch. And he's like, all right, well, I saw on your preference sheet you had seafood extravaganza. So you still want seafood, don't you? And he's like, oh, yeah, I'm so into that. Seafood. I mean, does it swim? Put it on the plate. Love it. Seafood. Yes. Any kind of seafood. Just put seafood on the plate. Okay. I see food. I eat it. That's my diet. Seafood, seafood, seafood. Okay. And I literally, if you could arrange it in the shape of a C, that'd be great. Just like, as long as it's nothing but seafood. So then Patrick, who's the New Yorker, is like, yeah, I'm a finicky eater.

54:29Forget about it, because I'm a New Yorker, so I say forget about it. You know, I'm one of the easiest guy to please, right? Okay. I like Honey Nut Cheerios, Captain Crunch, you know, like I'm not really a big seafood dude. You know, just give me like pizza, burgers, cheese, meat and bread. Like, I'm easy, guys.

54:46Ronnie Karam: Yeah. And Ben goes ketchup I like ketchup And he's like no no not ketchup No no don't do ketchup At this point you need to get yourself evaluated I'm sorry At some point there's a problem There's a problem there It's okay to have a limited palate But this is beyond limited I'm just the plain Jane Forget about it It's not a limited palate It's a control issue Yeah, it's like there's a difference between having a limited palate and just a limited outlook. These are limited people. They are limited people. They are. You know, yesterday, so we're here in New York City, and one of the coffee shops that's here in the city that seems to be everywhere, but I've never gone to it before, was Gregory's Coffee.

55:34Have you seen those around with the guy with the glasses?

55:37Ronnie Karam: I saw you drinking it yesterday, and I see you've got a Starbucks today. So in other words, hey, Gregory, suck my dick, all right? forget about i'm from new york fuck your coffee all right you guys suck gregory he gave it up already what was it they do what do you put ketchup in your coffee well actually also the starbucks was like a little bit more convenient to get to the subway the starbucks was more on the way um but i will say gregory is notoriously inconvenient it was across the street and so not having to cross the street it's like making a bed again you know yeah so what about gregory's i'm Well, I decided, I attempted to be sort of healthy.

56:14So yesterday I got Gregory's, they have a sandwich called like the skinny, which is like egg white, turkey bacon, which I don't know why I do this to myself because - Gregory, die in your sleep. Never in the history of any of these coffee shop chains has the quote unquote skinny version ever been in Starbucks. It's garbage. Their version as well. It's like eating cardboard. And then their sriracha was awful. It was like, everything was like, it was like really one of the worst breakfast sandwiches I ever had in my entire life. I was like, you should not be selling this. but i was hungry and i ate it and i think the point is that i'm trying to make here is that you can get through it like if there's something you really really like if you can get through it if something you don't really like love you can get through it you know and so for this guy to be like i tell people when they date me look i survived gregory's wretched breakfast sandwich so uh what i'm trying to say is that this guy can deal with like some of this i'm not saying like oh if you don't like fish that's like a big category like that's like a that's that's intense you know but like a lot of the stuff he's like i can't even have that it's like bro you probably

57:18Ronnie Karam: could just try yeah i just can't be around people like that who are just like nah you know what i'm finicky all i'm gonna eat is a captain crunch what was that fit i ain't eating that shit what is that a steak? Uh-uh, not for me. I'm a potato guy. Go home. You're a fucking luxury guy. Just don't come here. Don't go to dinner. Just stay. If you're such a fucking weirdo, you can't be around us normies eating. You know, you can't just be around a normal person. Stay home. Yeah. You know, just separate yourself. I also feel like, you know, like vegans get so much shit about the fact that like, oh, whenever vegans eat food, it's always like, well, I'm a vegan.

57:53I'm a vegan. People always make fun of vegans for like, you know, oh my god, vegans are always drawing attention to themselves. Oh my god, It's always about their veganism. But the truth is, if we're going to make fun of vegans for that, we should also make fun of people like this guy. Because when people are like super finicky, everything becomes about them being finicky. Every single thing and everything they talk about is like, oh, no, what? A hot dog? That's a bit too crazy for me. I'm like, okay, I get it. You don't know how to eat food.

58:19Ronnie Karam: Yeah. I think you're right that it's a control issue. People need to kind of set themselves apart from everybody else to not just be another normal person. And, you know, some of us, I also think it's like I'm seeing show tunes when we're not asked to in the middle of grocery stores. And some of us, you know, pick eating things. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. But this guy should go into therapy. So I should like go away. Like, yeah, but it's also don't even go to therapy. Like, you're just going to find better ways to like be an out and like nicer, like more palatable ways to be an asshole.

58:51Don't you want to like expand your boundaries to like, don't you want to expand like, like, okay, you don't normally eat this.

58:57Ronnie Karam: but like try it see how it is that's true and aren't you embarrassed and not only him but but brandon too because we'll get into him in a minute but aren't you embarrassed to go on a luxury yacht and be acting oh my god we're so fancy like we're the fanciest but you guys better please us because we're like rich and we are fancy and then to see like a fish like beautifully laid out and to be like yeah ew i won't eat that give me fucking chicken fingers like aren't you embarrassed like In one hand, you're trying to make yourself seem fancier than you are. But in the other hand, you're trying to be trashier than you are as a personality trait.

59:32Ronnie Karam: I don't know. Yeah, I just feel like, especially just being on camera. For me, I famously really hate berries, like blueberries, strawberries, raspberries. I'm getting better at eating them, but still, I really hate them. The smell of berries makes me want to literally actively throw up all the time. but I've started to realize that like I can still eat a berry and it's not the end of the world I just feel like people just be push through be curious about something be curious you guys this guy's really gotten something to do about us just be more curious okay so Patrick's like I'm finicky, forgot about it but you can please me in any other way and Ben's like oh god it's been a long time since I've had a child against this fussy.

1:00:18Ronnie Karam: You can count how many food items he eats on one hand and you'd still have fingers to play with. What's he doing with those fingers? So Jason is like, all right, everyone, we're going to draw a banker. And now there's going to be some Alicia tells Barbie to do laundry because it's getting pretty bad. And then the guests are playing with water toys and Patrick is like, oh my God, you're going to slide. I'm scared of sharks. I'm not going to lie. Call me up. This is Patrick. This is fucking Patrick. I know we were expecting it to all be Brandon this time, but this new guy, Patrick, takes over. He's like, what?

1:00:52Ronnie Karam: Going down the slide? I ain't going to do that. I'm afraid of sharks, honestly, believe it or not. You know, I ain't doing that. Ain't going to lie. Call me a bitch all you want. I ain't jumping down that water. That's called rolling the dice. And I'm a gambler. But you know what? I don't gamble on my life. So now I would eat you and be like, ew. Yeah. He tastes like corn syrup. Yeah. Like, honestly, I get some fiber. The shark's like, God, I ate some fucking New Jersey guy, and now I cannot shit. You know, unlike you, Patrick, these sharks actually have standards, and they actually care about the things that they eat.

1:01:30And so, yeah, they're not going to just settle for a burger. Anyway, it's time for lunch, and they're gathering, and Daisy starts serving everyone. So she's serving some grilled zucchini and she's like, did you want some grilled zucchini with paprika? And Brandon's like, okay. Like it's crazy. There's a vegetable. And then she's serving.

1:01:53Ronnie Karam: It also does sound like a crazy way to offer things. Would you like grilled zucchini with paprika? Have you ever heard somebody say that? Hey, would you like, would you like this? It's got paprika. Is that like a huge selling point? Yeah, I don't know. Especially not for these people. So then she's like, we have some shrimp. Do you want some shrimp? And he goes, just a scotch. So it's like, this is the same person who asked for a seafood extravaganza is now just wants a scotch of shrimp. And then there's like, so Brandon's like, um, there's like a lot of vegetables on this plate. She goes, yeah, the hot food's coming up now.

1:02:30Yeah. But my plate is like full of like vegetables.

1:02:33Ronnie Karam: Yeah. It's disgusting. There's also a huge lobster on the table, by the way. Lobster. There's so much food that's coming up. And then Carmen's like, yeah, it's full of stuff you don't even eat. He's like, yeah, I'm like, I'm being polite. I'm being polite. Like, not a shrimp. Like, I'll eat the shrimp. I'll look at the shrimp. Yeah. And Carmen's like, oh, my God. There's like this table's like full of stuff you don't eat. And Brandon says, yeah, if I'm being polite, I'm being polite. Okay. But no, not the shrimp. All right. But I'll look at it. I'll just look at it. That was the gay this time.

1:02:59See, look at us switching the roles of everyone.

1:03:00Ronnie Karam: Because I feel like Patrick and Brandon are two similar names. Yeah, I agree. They sound like they could be brothers. Yeah. So Brandon who was down for seafood Travaganza suddenly is like I'll tolerate two shrimp And I've got some vegetables By the way Do you think he meant foods that start with a C? He probably did He seems so confused by seafood He's like Where's the custard?

1:03:30Where's the calamari? Although I guess that's seafood

1:03:32Ronnie Karam: Where are the crostini? I mean geez we said seafood so then um then someone's like yeah patrick doesn't need any of this he's like yeah i'm a finicky eater it's like don't worry we'll take care of it like no i'm good i'm good i'm good well i'm not and actually to be fair to patrick in this case patrick was like pretty chill and as brandon who decided he wants to make a fuss because he's like i'm the primary so it's like your fun is my obligation like i'm responsible for your fun so i'm i'm gonna i'm gonna say something. Because he's looking to basically Yeah, to be a diva and make his moment. Fluff his feathers, etc.

1:04:09Ronnie Karam: Yeah, so Daisy's like, Brandon is acting kind of crazy right now. They asked for a seafood lunch and they put that on their preference sheet and then checked in with them before lunch service and then they changed their mind halfway through lunch. What am I supposed to do with that? Why don't you just go take the sheets off the bed and fuck over every woman who's ever worked on a boat? So then Carmen's asking Brandon how he liked the lobster. He's like, um i didn't eat it i don't do that yeah i'm like not the happiest like it's not what i was expecting i just got like a bunch of lettuce i'm like you are an in shape gay and you're like turning your nose up at lettuce like isn't that all you eat he's brought you lobster and shrimp and now he brings out these are like huge he orders full fish again i mean he brings out full fish again did you know yeah why would he do that i don't know but he's serving lean but he's serving all sorts of lean protein to this guy and he's like no yeah that's really gross yeah it's not what i was expecting so here comes the red snapper again and carmen's like did you order fish because i did not i'm like you literally ordered fish i need to see a response from the sky like i like that i like that bravo is doing these little vignettes with the charter guests now before they come on but i also need i need follow-ups after these shows air and be like what the fuck were you thinking?

1:05:24What's wrong with you? Now that you see this, what were you thinking? I need the answers. I hate how they just like, they leave the boat and then they're gone forever.

1:05:32Ronnie Karam: Maybe that could be our people's court idea for Bravo because, you know, I talked about this last week. We pitched a people's court where at the end of the episode, they just have us like Doug Llewellyn outside the court being like, okay, well, here's how the court case went. How do you feel? And we could be there and be like, hey, okay, we just watched the episode. Brandon, you had seafood on your preference sheet. What the fuck? and it was an audible confirmation dun dun dun I'm not going to pay anything you can't make me pay well guess what so now they all want burgers so Brandon's like sir I am not a rabbit the amount of vegetables that were presented I'm just like a very meat eater like anything protein I'm like well you don't have to tell us that you're a meat eater we knew that much but this is protein anything protein I'm all for he gives you shrimp, lobster and whole fish this is like great protein for you He's just not a smart person.

1:06:22He's not smart. But also, like, since when is someone who is, like, looking at their figure suddenly, like, I don't want to have vegetables. Unless you're on keto, because keto is weird about vegetables. But still, I don't think he's talking about keto here. He's just an idiot. Yeah.

1:06:39Ronnie Karam: So, and he just also wants to be difficult. So, Brandon gets his attention, and he's like, sir, I am not a rabbit. Okay? Like, I'm all for protein. And Carmen goes, except fish. Carmen shut up this is a seafood extravaganza Carmen did you not look at the preference sheet so he prime so Brandon was like here's the thing I even sat on there I said I want to be a light I want to be light for lunch I was thinking like lobster shrimp what and the camera cuts to the lobster shrimp on your plate and he said you don't want to eat it and then she asked you about the lobster and you said you didn't want to eat it this is so confusing how does this make sense and he goes and you know a very light lunch but very seafood forward and it was seafood like backwards.

1:07:22What are you talking about? He's just upset because there was zucchini on his plate and he clearly did not want zucchini. And at that point he was like, I don't know, maybe it's like he felt like it was touching the shrimp. I don't know what's going on, but like this made no sense to me whatsoever. Yeah, he's

1:07:36Ronnie Karam: he's detestable. So Ben's like, well, I wanted to do the best food I've ever done in my life this charter. And unfortunately, we're dealing with rather sophomoric palates. That means immature, by the way. I know I'm speaking to an American audience. I've seen your NASCAR. That's what that means. He wanted a seafood extravaganza, and I've given him all the seafood that I have on the boat, and now he wants a burger. So Ellie, make these burgers. Well, you can tell when everyone's enjoying the meal, they're hyped, and I feel like everybody's hype just went down. Yeah, because you're being an asshole and embarrassing everybody on a charter, and they're not going to act like they love it if the primary is like, it sucks.

1:08:18Ronnie Karam: I saw zucchini. There are two seasons zucchini, by the way. Oh, why don't you just open with that? Great lunch. It's very seafood. Look at my man. He's over here looking like a fucking gabbroche, right? Right, right? Gabbroche. Gabbroche. Gabbroche. Gabbroche. Gabbroche. Gabbroche. Gabbroche. Gabbroche. And so Brandon's like I don't know what that means It's like a pitcher, like a bomb Like bow, you know Like that

1:08:57Ronnie Karam: So now in the galley Daisy's like well I thought the lunch looked nice Personally you didn't do anything wrong Thank you Daisy It's nice to be teammates So now he has to make more burgers And they bring those to them I hope there's rat poison in those burgers Hey, everyone.
