I wanted to let you know I've officially chosen my second stew. The best, most qualified person. It's one of the gens, right? Right, because there's like four of them on board.

11:29No, it's Kaylee.

11:31Ronnie Karam: Oh.

11:34Ben Mandelker: Well, I only know Kaylee is Gen 2. But you know what, though? I don't know if you realize this. We've increased the budget for prizes. And I'm going to give her a gift certificate to James Purse. And tell her to pick out anything she wants, anything from the purse store, and she gets it.

11:54Ronnie Karam: well congratulations because she's got a great attitude i agree with you so now we go to the galley and join luca flirting looks like look how beautiful the water is today it's like oh a little bit rocky for me do you know that i'm seasick but i never tell people only you you know my secret because they might laugh at you for being seasick she's

12:21Ben Mandelker: like no but maybe they will not try me then they will miss something because we all know if you laugh at chef chef kill you oh that's right so then joseph and shayla are getting into their guest cabins and shayla's like can you guys just like kiss and make up he's like what do you understand what message she delivered me she's like no don't touch me she said don't touch me because because addy messaged joseph saying don't touch me which i think is a fair request um i don't anyone wants to be touched by a snapping turtle troll on a boat so yeah um i'm team addy on this

12:54Ronnie Karam: one yeah so uh we kept all the guests being like oh my god this is scary what's happening and we go back to him and he's like i'm worth 500 million dollars i have jets i'm a pretty good looking guy girl you are so rich that you've been told you're good looking by so many people they're lying to you they are lying to you god you are not there's not enough money in the world

13:16Ben Mandelker: do we know who this person is yet has has the internet started to shame him yet do we know joseph joseph below i was like rodney dangerfield has come back he's come back to play this role this guy okay so here he is i know it is rodney dangerfield uh who is joseph and his amazing technicolor um gruel coat so he is uh joseph retman you know what these articles these days not to sound like like like someone who's not up with the times but the fact they have to sit through so many paragraphs of like seo intro before we actually get to it his name is joseph retman uh he claims to be worth 500 million dollars as the president of nei general contracting they focus on premier affordable housing and claim they are not just about building quality, but building quality.

14:12Ben Mandelker: You cannot tell me that this man is going to build any sort of quality, affordable housing. There's just no way in the world. I mean, this is a slumlord.

14:26Ronnie Karam: Oh my god. That is definitely a slumlord. She's also the grandson of a

14:37Ben Mandelker: city of Boston road and sidewalk contractor and the son of a general contractor and Joseph's path to construction success was quite literally sandstone from an early age. Or concrete. He was the son of general contractors and he was a nepo baby. Construction nepo baby. I feel like I've seen that before somewhere in our society and culture and haven't always loved how it turned out. But you know what? It's going to make for an interesting episode. Seems like a great guy.

15:06Ronnie Karam: It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappens commercial Your outdoor space should feel like you I have this gigantic patio deck thing that I wanted to use for parties And I could just not find any fashionable patio furniture I needed a lot and I needed it to go together I needed different pieces that all kind of looked the same I was able to go on Wayfair and search for exactly what I needed different brands, different things all coming together in one style. It was so easy to do it and it looks great.

15:41Ben Mandelker: I can confirm that his outdoor area looks great. And the thing is that you can get more than just seating. You can get grills, major appliances, storage, patio lighting, rugs, decor. Wayfair really is your one-stop shop for home.

15:53Ronnie Karam: And the best thing about this place, well, not the best, one of the best, is that you don't even have to put this stuff together. you can hire somebody from Wayfair to come put it over, put it all together for you, you know? And that's the best part because if I put it together, it's rickety, it's falling apart, no matter where it's from. I just don't have that skill.

16:10Ben Mandelker: But they do. Yeah, that is actually probably the part of Wayfair that I just tell my friends about just unsolicitedly. I just will say, like, not only can you order the stuff, someone else can put it together for you. Patio season is here and these deals won't last. Head to Wayfair.com right now and get your outdoor space ready for way less. That's W-A-Y-F-A-I-R dot com. Way fair, every style, every home.

Okay, well, here's one of the guests. I think I'm in love with her. It's nothing serious. I don't want her to be serious. Okay, Joe, get to it. Oh, but she also wants to get off the boat immediately.

She's like, how'd you do that? He's like, I've got a good daddy, Captain. I've got a good daddy. His name is Nathan.

21:48Ben Mandelker: Meanwhile, upstairs, Joseph is still grousing. Affordable grousing. He's like, you know, I pay$12 ,500 a month, and she's gone. It's over. She's back on her own. Good luck to her. And Joy is, meanwhile, serving like avocado shrimp and everything and lamb and all this nice stuff. And Joseph is like, you know, I actually liked her, man. I really liked her. I'm a tortured individual, but I actually liked her. Oh, yeah. Oh, I could tell. You know, I could definitely tell how much you liked her just by everything you said. Your romance, your kind words, your gestures. It's a real shame.

22:22Ronnie Karam: Yeah, you're just such a good guy underneath it all. You know who else was tortured? Jigsaw. Okay. He was tortured as well. Shut up, Joseph. i hate this attitude like i bought her i give her all this money it doesn't you don't buy people that's crazy you can't talk to people however you want just because you gave them some money you fucking loser so they're gonna get uh this girl to shore and uh someone's like oh i feel bad for both of you he's like don't feel bad for me i don't give a shit i'm officially single hop on people. Yeah.

22:59Ben Mandelker: So Kaylee is talking to Kat and she's like, so you want to go through all this stuff that's not so we can go and know how we're going to decorate the table and stuff. Things like that anyway. And Sandy is just checking in on lunch. Hey everyone, how's lunch? How's everything going here now that you're one person down? I'm sorry that Jen left us. He's like, oh what, am I in trouble here? Like the captain's here. What's going on? my problem? He's like, no, no. Just checking on lunch. I honestly just want to see how big of a douchebag you are with my own eyes. Everyone's been talking about it, so now I see.

23:33Ronnie Karam: Sorry, church. You're not my type. So then Kat and Jen are assorting table decor, and Kat's putting on a gladiator helmet, and Jen goes, yeah, that's too big for your little head. She's like, okay, well, need a multitask. Yeah, like, put in more laundry. I need to think of a little note to like put in laundry. Like, I just want to get my mind off this stupid second stew debacle. So like, luckily Luke's a nice big distraction. Hey, Luke.

24:05Ben Mandelker: So she writes a note and puts it in with his laundry that says, Luke, if you were a fruit, you'd be a pineapple. I'm sorry, you'd be a fine apple. Damn it, Jen. Damn it. Okay, no. Luke, if you were a fruit, you'd be a fine apple and you wouldn't be as successful as I am. Okay, signed. you know who Luke you either like me or you're a

24:26Ronnie Karam: Percy damn it get out of my head

24:32Ben Mandelker: so Kat's like well I'm glad Jen found some sort of positive outlet I don't care if she writes a poem on this post it or note or confesses her love to Luke or whatever at this point I'm just happy that she's just like just hoping it stays like this

24:47Ronnie Karam: so now the guests are trying to get on jet skis and And Joe's like, have you been drinking, Joseph? And he's like, I had one cocktail. Well, that's the one in your hand then? He's like, yeah, that's it. And Joe's like, oh, God, fuck, I'll do it. Meanwhile, Nathan's radioing Aisha. He's like, how's the guy getting on the jet ski? He had a lot to drink. And Sandy's listening to all of this. And Aisha says, he's had like six. So Nathan tells him, yeah, you've got to get off the jet ski, man. You've had more than half a cocktail. hell he's like you want me to get off the jet ski you little prick he's like you can't be drunk

25:21Ben Mandelker: driving the jet ski i say go to a protected cove where there's no one else and put him on the jet ski and aim him towards the rocks and see what happens so nathan is like sorry about that dude he's like oh yeah he's going to be like my nemesis like tell me i'm wrong tell me i'm wrong you're wrong oh oh oh oh tell me i'm wrong wait wait did you say that he's like you're wrong i'm done with this fucking guy i'm done with this fucking guy uh do you think he should have said you're wrong in this moment or you think he should have done what captain sandy later recommends which be like i know i know just come on i'm just trying to do my job but you know we'll have this ready for you later well i mean he says he's

26:03Ronnie Karam: going to be my nemesis tell me i'm wrong and he says you're wrong meaning like i'm not going to be your nemesis so it's not what he's saying is really mean but his attitude like nathan looks like he's ready to kill him and yeah that's what this guy's looking for yeah yeah when you're in

26:18Ben Mandelker: service you just got to be like yeah i thought he was smiling when he said it so i thought it was like a funny banter moment so like i was like oh that's funny but maybe he wasn't smiling which

26:29Ronnie Karam: case yeah maybe you should just you just have to take my hand he's like you're wrong you're wrong but like clearly he wants to kill him you know and so it's just like he's just looking out for is safety and uh nathan tells joe he's a fucking wanker so now just joseph is yelling from the sun deck you can jump off the second floor of the boat but you can't ride a jet ski according to my man yeah jump off the second first tie this rope around your ankle okay and let me do this thing is called an anchor into the water now jump yeah exactly so it's just like please don't be

27:06Ben Mandelker: disrespectful to our bear sin. And he's like, well, that's the third time he's like put me in my spot. He goes, he's doing his job and he's really good at his job. Yeah, so why is he focusing on me? Because you've been the problem for him, I guess. Loves Aisha. The way that Aisha can just be so sweet and cheery and then she can just like give a very direct read to someone is just so wonderful. Yeah.

27:32Ronnie Karam: He's like, but he's been a problem for me. She's like, just please be respectful. and she tells us that she's made a career out of placating rich assholes but she doesn't know she trusts Nathan to not punch him in the face and uh she can't she radios the captain that Nathan that Joseph has been disrespectful to Nathan and she's like oh my god oh geez how can we solve this could we put out some water toys they're already all out damn it now what do I do have Ask Joseph, has he seen a moonwalk? Yes or no? Weak, weak, weak.

28:09Ben Mandelker: Why does He-Man keep on doing the moonwalk around his deck?

28:16Ronnie Karam: So now Joseph is watching Nathan work and wanting to murder him. You know, got drunk murdered. I like when they close up on Joseph's eyes and they're just like bloodshot, wasted. They keep closing up on him. And she's like, hey there, big guy. take it easy on my crew, won't ya? He's like, I think he's got something out for me, but I'll keep it in check. She's like, no, he really doesn't. He really doesn't. He's just Nathan.

28:38Ben Mandelker: He's a dad. Yeah, he's a dad. Maybe you should know that. And so Nathan downstairs is like, that guy is a fucking idiot. He's like, did you hear me? I said, please be more respectful of my person. So Sandy's like, you know, they're just looking out for your safety and that's it. He's like, well, I respect you. Thank you. So Joy is like, what is happening with the guests? He's the one who fired his girlfriend. i love that and it looks like yes he fired his girlfriend but you know it was a it was a it was an esl issue there but it was also the most accurate wording to describe what happened no

29:13Ronnie Karam: i think she got it perfectly except that that lady quit she didn't get fired that's true you know but i hope she can still file unemployment because she deserves it so uh sandy takes nathan aside and um she's like come here and he says i want to have a word with them i'm gonna see i'm gonna say the same say it the same way you know you kicked a girl off the boat i'm gonna fucking boot your back what do you think of that she's like no no no no no no no no no that's not no no no i already talked to him he's like okay nice because i probably wouldn't have been as nice and she tells us if he doesn't learn to control his emotions that is gonna be a problem up.

29:54Ben Mandelker: So Sandy's like, you know what? When you have a guy like that, it isn't an aggressive approach. Okay. He's like, yeah, but he came to me and he was like, tell me I'm wrong. And I said, you're wrong. And I'm a dad. And he's like, okay, no, no. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. And Nathan's like, but he told me I was to tell him I was wrong. So he was wrong. And then I said he was wrong. So then I was wrong. Well, I'm wrong. I said he's like, no, no, listen, that's where you don't engage because look, pretend it's like the lady of your dreams. don't engage, right? Because like you put a thorn in his ass for you in the future.

30:27Ben Mandelker: You go, Hey, I don't know, man, I'm just doing my job. You know what I mean? Do it like that, you know, like the way Jen's do it. Yeah.

And that wasn't really that terrible to say, but he's just such an asshole that everybody's like, oh, no, you know, fuck off. That was the mildest thing he said the entire day. It was the mildest thing. That was Joseph trying to be nice, actually, I think. So Joy is like, oh, geez, asshole, this guy. A couple of years ago, I would slap him for sure. But before, I was like, oh, Kane, but I've learned you cannot lose your temper. I don't have time for it. You want it?
