3:14Ben Mandelker: Yeah, go on. Also, in the spirit of Below Deck Med, you know what I did this weekend, Ronnie? What? I cooked a Branzino.

3:23Ronnie Karam: I was going to say, did you eat a Branzino? I did. That's the first thing that came to my mind. And you cooked a Branzino? Wow.

3:30Ben Mandelker: Well, I went to Whole Foods on Saturday night and I was like, I want a piece of fish. And then I just saw Branzino lying there on the ice, its eyes staring at me. And I was like, you're coming home with me, baby. And I did it. And I practiced my deboning. Remember at the end of Below Deck Down Under, I was like, I want to cook some whole fish and practice my deboning after that debacle that they had. And I boned up, pun not intended actually, on the deboning process. I watched the videos and I even – you take the thing from the top and from the bottom and this and you cut here, you reveal the spine and you make a scission here and you lift up the tail.

4:11Ben Mandelker: I did everything perfectly. It was like textbook. Everything just came out and had these big, beautiful fillets. And there still were bones. Still were bones. Fucking Branzinos.

4:23Ronnie Karam: Branzinos were notorious for just boning you. I mean, there's always going to be a boning Branzino. They have zillions and zillions of bones. I don't know why God was like that. But he's like, you know what? I'm going to give this fish Lisa Rinolips. I'm going to give that fish a really good coat. I'm going to give Branzino a shit ton of bones for no reason. Just a ton of buns.

4:46Ben Mandelker: Yeah, that's like, it's so rude. But you know what? It's so tasty also. I think about the Branzino. There's so much to break, you know? Branzino loves a very fragile lifestyle. Today we are talking Below Deck Season 11, Episode 4. Infrared colored glasses. and where we left off was that massive douchebag Joseph was drunk and had cornered Nathan in the wheelhouse overnight and was like, what's your problem with me, bro? Or whatever he said. And he's like, he's like, yeah, what's...

5:24Ronnie Karam: Gotta talk about our relationship, alright? You're a real asshole.

5:29Ben Mandelker: Yeah, you're a bit of a prick. And Nathan's like, that's nothing personal or sound. He's like, yeah, well, you wanna arm wrestle? Like, you wanna do it? You just, like, arm wrestle? Like, fuck it. Arm wrestle it out. We got to get out of our system. We know we're men. Okay, let's do it. What could go wrong?

5:45Ronnie Karam: Let's just arm wrestle right around all of the buttons and levers that run the boat. Yeah. What could possibly go wrong? Yeah, sure. Give me your arm, Joseph.

5:55Ben Mandelker: Yeah, seriously. So Nathan does not take the bait. He's like, I'm all right, man. He's like, all right, well, you know what? It's hard to be a prick in a good way. He's like, I appreciate that. It's like, yeah, well, I didn't actually say that you were a prick in a good way. But you are, you are. And even though I really don't like you, I respect you. And for me, that's hard. And I really don't like you, but I respect you, which I'm like, where did this come from? Also, this just goes to show, guys. Guys just can coast along in life because it's like you're a prick. But because you're a prick, you're even better.

6:26Ben Mandelker: Congratulations, sir.

6:28Ronnie Karam: Yeah. Well, I couldn't scare you, right? And I couldn't scare you into subservience. So, you know, if I can't make you cry, then I must have to respect you because, wow, what a strong person standing up to me. So it's like he's doing himself a favor by saying, yeah, now that's a respectful guy.

6:47Ben Mandelker: Yeah, it's like alpha to alpha. You're an alpha. I respect you. Yeah, you're an alpha. And I get it. Now you get to hear my life story for the next three hours while I drunkenly ramble on.

6:57Ronnie Karam: Oh, this fucking guy. I mean, get a drunk and just stay quiet and look at all the things you find out. I mean, enough. I took him saying, you know what? It's hard to be a prick in a good way. I took him as saying that about himself. Like, listen, it's hard to be a prick in a good way. You don't know what it's like being me. Here's my story, kid. By the way, I want another margarita. Like you're talking like the sitting captain. Give me a margarita, toots. So he calls down to interior to bring one. And he's like, eight years ago, I moved to Miami. I had$5 million in the bank. Two years later, I'm negative$100 ,000 because I was trying to keep up with the Joneses.

7:39Ugh, so difficult.

7:42Ben Mandelker: That's why I lost$5 million. I'm like, yes, our heart breaks for you. Our heart breaks for you as you're sitting here on a yacht, by the way. So then Jen, you know, she brings up the margarita. And Joseph, he's going on. and he's like, broski, I could tell you stories for days. You could be your best self and your worst self in the Virgin Islands. You know, I flew to Shannon Island, you know, Ireland, okay? You know, you two comes in from a helicopter. You know, one thing I do is I break the law, but I break the law on like a low level, you know, casual homicide here and there, you know?

8:19Ronnie Karam: What was this? I break the law, but I do it on a low level. You know what I mean? Oh my God, go to jail already. I was about to say, talk about privilege. Just comes and acts like a total asshole and then gets himself arrested for confessing drunkenly on TV after he couldn't fly a tour guide that he uses to pay for, you know, whatever company.

8:44Ben Mandelker: Yeah, I wonder what his low-level crimes are. I cut the tag off of a mattress. There, I said it. I did it. I did it, everyone. Sue me. I cut the tag off of a mattress.

8:57Ronnie Karam: um i'm guessing like human trafficking that he considers just giving people a ride places you know yeah i would say so yeah what traffic's a crime now oh arrest the freeways

9:12Ben Mandelker: i'm just keeping up with the joneses you know my ex i would love to fuck her but she's because she's hot as fuck like she's amazing oh my god and nathan's like uh-huh that's great it's great to

10:30Ronnie Karam: Alright you want to knock off I've got it from here He's like okay Nathan slowly backs out of the room And he's like I'm actually happy to go to bed But I feel bad for fucking Cooper Having to sit up there and listen to this guy He's like yeah Then I peed on traffic What do you think of that I laid down and got peed on by six different Volkswagens. This was rough. My dad died when I was young.

10:56Ben Mandelker: I have a traffic light kink, okay? I have women come in dressed up like a traffic light. Each one's a different color. It's hard to find that costume, so I just have them dress up like M &M's and color in the M's. Oh my god, it's so fucking hot. I love traffic.

11:09Ronnie Karam: Have you ever tried to put a leash on a penguin? Those fucking things don't stay still, alright? You pull them too tight, boom. The PETA's on your ass. I just can't win. I just can't win.

11:22Ben Mandelker: Why is it when it's a girl, it's called trafficking, but when it's a penguin, it's called just buying a pet?

11:33Ronnie Karam: Did I have a penguin pee on you? Cooper is left alone with Joseph, and Joseph does take a long pause, and then goes, my dad died when I was 14. He's like, oh, well.

11:45Ben Mandelker: He goes, that's tough. Okay. Well, I'm going to turn it it's grand coda the root of all of it by the way we'd like to add it's like okay now it all makes

12:20Ben Mandelker: Oh, we in a plane or a boat. I always forget. Oh God. So, uh, yeah, they all Jen, before she goes to sleep, she leaves a note on Luke's clean clothes. It says big, sexy Luke. And she's like, so cute. Kaylee wishes. Um, which is to everyone else at red is like, okay, girl, uh, relax. So now it's the morning and joy and Luke are on the sun deck and they're like, she's like doing some sort of yoga or whatever. And he's doing whatever. And so they're talking and, you know, she's asking him when he starts and saying like, he's starting really early. And he's like, yeah, a little bit. You know, I used to listen to this audio book and it used to say, life will pay you whatever price you ask of it.

13:05Ben Mandelker: And essentially you can have whatever you want if you know what it's going to cost and not money wise, you know, if you understand the cost, you can have it. I'm like, so what's the cost to throw yourself into a fire pit?

13:19Ronnie Karam: She's like, oh, sacrifice, time, energy. He's like, yeah, exactly. And she says, he tells us, Joy makes me feel. She makes me feel things, you know. She's quirky. She's strong-willed. I did not expect to come on this yacht and meet someone like that. Quirky, strong-willed. Ha! On a yacht? Crazy.

13:44Ben Mandelker: She makes me feel things, specifically my mouth. Usually a piece of steak coming off of a fork. God, I love her.

13:53Ronnie Karam: I have never wanted to marry calories more than I do right now. Oh, I can't help but give me some protein. So she's like, you need to know what you want, though. And he's like, sometimes it really is the journey. Okay.

15:09Ben Mandelker: near zero my brother jake and i had one last shot to save hydro jug so we engineered the traveler a leak-proof, coupler-friendly Tumblr. Amazon Ads enables a business to be able to expand their product shelf because of the visibility and the reach you can get.

15:29Ben Mandelker: Watch HydroJug's story at advertising.amazon.com slash rising-stars.

15:37Ben Mandelker: Meanwhile, Jen and Kat's cabin, Jen is like, I look so pale, I'm like ghostly. Wouldn't it be funny if Jen all this time was just actually a ghost, an actual ghost who's just haunting this yacht? It would make sense. They just all can see her. She's just like a very visible ghost.

15:54Ronnie Karam: And Kat's like, I look like an egg today. Like, dude, like, what am I, the Pringles man?

16:02Ben Mandelker: The Pringles does not do eggs. I just want to let everyone know. They're new for Pringles eggs.

16:08Ronnie Karam: Joe and Nathan are being nice to each other this morning. and Joe's getting everything done. Everything's pumped up. All the water toys are out. And Nathan's like, wow, he's done a great job. I really need to think about who I'm going to appoint Lee Deckhand. Oh my God, you loser. Just appoint Joe and stop being such a weirdo about it. You're out of people, okay?

16:29Ben Mandelker: Yeah. No one knows really what this position does. No one cares. We all want to move on with our lives. Give it to Joe and get back to your baby. Pretend you're professional for five minutes. for Christ's sake. Yeah, exactly. Joe has set everything up outside, so Sandy sees it. She's like, look at this. I mean, this looks like a super yacht. I wish that girl were here now to see this. God, cue that girl. Mega yacht. It's a mega yacht.

17:02Ronnie Karam: So people are getting ready, discussing breakfast in the galley. Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, Joe. Joe and Nathan are in the toy storage area. and talking about bedtime. And Nathan's like, well, by the time I fell asleep, it was like three. And the guy comes in there and he says, you're a prick. And I said, oh God. And he says, I'm just trying to keep up with the Joneses. And I said, who the fuck are the Joneses?

17:27Ben Mandelker: I thought he was talking about the Jonas Brothers. And then upstairs, Joseph, by the way, is up at like 7.30 in the morning, miraculously. And he's like, yeah, I was up till 3 a.m. last night and that guy was telling me what to do. Like him and I, we reconnected. I love that guy now. I was like, of course. Of course. And you know what? I guarantee they're all going to, I guarantee if we meet anyone on this show, they'll be like, actually, Joseph was the nicest guy. I guarantee they'll all say that.

17:55Ronnie Karam: Once you pass, say the alcoholism and the brutalist nature of his fist trying to swing at you in the middle of the night, he's really a good person. And Sandy's like, oh yeah, Nathan, what a good guy. you know nathan nathan there's a whole song about it you know everybody loves the guy he's like he's really on his game okay i'm so happy to hear that nathan chose to diffuse the situation that's growth that's growth there it is you just saw it here everybody yeah real growth so uh now they're

18:30Ben Mandelker: all gonna go have uh they all want to have a breakfast now so they're gonna have breakfast and he's like, are you guys excited for your trip? And he's like, I'm still depressed about what happened yesterday. You mean when you were a drunk asshole and you berated your girlfriend to the point where she decided to leave the boat? Yes, we remember.

18:49Ronnie Karam: Well, don't worry. The place you're going to today is Oyster Farm. It's like top 10 in the world or something. So it's beautiful. When I say it's something, I saw it in a pamphlet once and it looked fun. Who doesn't love oysters? That's where pills come from.

19:07Ben Mandelker: Well, I'm recently divorced, so the world is my oyster, Billy. We can tell. You are drunk and spiraling. Yes.

19:18Ronnie Karam: Kaylee, Ken, and Joy are all in the galley, and Kaylee is like, you excited to try some oysters? And Joy is like, very excited. I'm happy to be getting some fresh air.

19:29Ben Mandelker: Yes, it'll be good to get off the boat. You know, how do people even do this? I'm trying to do that thing where I'm like trying to, trying to do a piece of pipe and have holes in it. Cause she's trying to do this escape room thing where she's trying to come up with a clue with the book, which by the way, we never even saw it. We watched, but a lot of time preparing this book and the clue with the paper with the holes in it. So certain words would spell a sentence. We never even saw it in the final escape room. I was like a little upset about that, but anyway, they're playing this escape room for this whole thing.

19:58Ben Mandelker: And Kaylee is saying she's nervous now. She's quote unquote nervous. I guarantee by the way, she's not nervous at all but she is appealing to our hearts because she's like you know i'm definitely i was definitely getting in my head especially after that conversation with jen that like maybe i won't live up to the standard of second stew so i feel like this first step forward like just trust yourself i can do this you know i just don't know if i believe in myself like she believes in herself this is purely her just undermining jen to the audience right now poor me i have been totally um ruined by jen you know her doubting in me makes me doubt myself

20:36Ronnie Karam: don't you feel bad for me viewing audience yeah i'm so team her though and i can't wait to watch jen break down over every little clue like god i thought of that first jen is a disaster

20:50Ben Mandelker: so jen is a full disaster but i just feel like cat is like manipulative and it's like i see what you're doing cat like you cannot like don't you're you can't fool us you can't pretend like oh no suddenly you're you're struck with a lack of confidence because of jen's comment you know

21:07Ronnie Karam: yeah i don't think she really cares about jen's comment but the good thing about someone like jen is you don't even have to manipulate because they're so terrible on their own all you have to do is kind of point out what they're doing which is what kaylee is doing and it's working like a charm. So Luke is talking to Nathan and Luke's asking about meeting Gail. Was it instant? And Nathan's like, yeah, straight off the bat. And Luke's like, and was there maybe another girl who was interested in you at the same time? And he's like, no. Are you trying to make this about you right now? Just say it's about you.

21:42Ronnie Karam: You're trying to do that. He's like, yeah. I think I got that with Joy. I think Joy and Jen, they're both into me. What do I do?

21:51Ben Mandelker: So then Nathan's like, well, you're going on the excursion you enjoy, so you know what oysters do to you, right? Just in time for your night out. Ha! So then we see Jen and Cooper and Aisha in the crew mess, and Aisha's, you know, telling Jen she'll be going on the excursion today. and she says, you know, ever since I chose Kaylee to be the second stew, the immediate response from Jen, she was pretty pissed off. I believe I saw her stabbing a pillow and tearing it apart and saying, this is what I'll do to Kaylee someday, and then calling up her parents and saying she was named a person and also the foreign minister of a country.

22:30Ben Mandelker: I didn't really understand what she was doing. She was trying to prove something. But anyway, I'm just trying to extend an older branch to her.

22:36Ronnie Karam: Cut to Jen being like, oysters? I don't even like oysters. Why do I have to do the oyster trip? It will be fun. Luke's going to go today. She's like, you're making that up. Are you kidding me? Okay. Love oysters! Oyster time, yes! Oh my God, I'm going to write so many little notes on oysters and put them in his basket.

22:56Ben Mandelker: Jesus Christ, I can't bang in front of the gas. So then Kat goes into the crew mess and she goes up to Jan and she's like, so do you want to give him this laundry? Because i don't want to give it to him and which is as a third still would you do me the honor of bringing this man's laundry to him while i do seconds to do things thank you so much yeah well also it doesn't have the note on it that's like you're so sexy oh this cat shows yeah she's like look what

23:24Ronnie Karam: she writes on it it's so it sounds like big sexy luke ew i'm putting it in this room like what the

23:29Ben Mandelker: how so um kaylee is talking to joy now and she's like so do you miss like luke do you like luke sorry do you like luke and she's like well i do not know you come into the galley and ask me that like what is this random she's like no i just i think jane law thinks that she's competing with you so i'm just gonna put it really messy kaylee it's like no i'm not competing because we are not

23:56Ronnie Karam: on the same level, my dear. Okay? I've noticed that there is some flirting between Jen and Luke. It's okay. I like him. He likes me. We cannot compete, Jen and me. I'm older. I'm a lady. I have the power to destroy her season if I want.

24:12Ben Mandelker: I believe that. Yeah. I believe Joy is controlling everything on this boat at this point.

24:19Ronnie Karam: Or she could. Whoever controls the mouth, whoever controls the stomach, controls the world. so um joy is like well she's welcome to come as a ring if she wants to i'm not always nice

24:32Ben Mandelker: yes we're counting on it so now the excursion uh is on it uh people are getting ready for that

24:40Ronnie Karam: luke finds his laundry with a little note on it he's like oh god now what do i do i'm just a helpless man a man with options we all know that men will just take whatever option they're given what am I supposed to know?

24:54Ben Mandelker: So then Sandy says goodbye to the guests. They all leave. And meanwhile up on the boat, while the guests are away, they start planning this blackout dinner because they're going to do a dining in the dark excursion. And then the stews are going to have to serve with night vision goggles on, which seems really terrible. And she's like, I've never done anything like this. The guest requested dinner in the dark, and so I ordered night vision goggles i haven't had this much issue seeing things like that except for the time that's up my finger up my bum to see my my peer was there the only request we've been given

25:33Ronnie Karam: for this dinner is the same request that anyone who dates joseph gives please make it completely dark

25:42Ben Mandelker: so um asia's uh asia's also talking about this escape room and they're gonna like do a run through and Kaylee's explaining how after dinner the lights will turn on. She's going to do a script and there'll be a key and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So it's a whole process and different people will be tied up and then there's going to be a ticking time bomb. Kaylee says there'll be a ticking time bomb that we've made and the bomb will go off and we'll save the day. It's like, how did you make a ticking time bomb? How does one do that? And how does the bomb going off

26:16Ronnie Karam: save the day? Like you just exploded somebody. Doesn't that mean

26:21Ben Mandelker: Do you buy that off of Amazon? Is that what it is? Like I've never seen, I was actually wondering, like where did they get this fake dynamite? And how did they create that glitter bomb?

26:31Ronnie Karam: I don't know, but clearly she's seen the other seasons where she's like, all right, we need a good ending to this. Let's blow up Joe.

26:37Ben Mandelker: I know.

26:39Ronnie Karam: So we go to Luke and Joy on the excursion boat and he's asking about her ring. And she says it's an emerald and he asked where she got it. And she's like, my ex. And he's like, oh, beautiful. Hmm. Thank God she's given me excuse to totally make out with somebody else and then say I was insecure about her ex. Yes, nailed it. It's the Emerald of Freedom. He tells us, well, she tells us, my ex is the reason why I became exquisite chef. He took me to live in St. Bart's, took me literally to yachting agency with some samples of my food. I owe him a lot. But then I got cheated and I just cut them off completely.

27:19Ronnie Karam: My dad is Vietnamese and in Vietnamese culture, you punish people who do you wrong. So sorry, Frankie.

27:28Ben Mandelker: I'm like, get him. Get him already. Just on spec. Get him.

27:34Ronnie Karam: So where's the emeralds? I love that she's like, oh, Frankie, thank you for everything you gave me. Unfortunately, you're dead in my heart.

27:44Ben Mandelker: so they arrive at the oyster farms and uh joy joins like there's a chef that's already there she's cooking with them and jen and luke are nearby and while joy is cooking luke uh holds up a shell to jen's ear and says do you know you know you can hear the ocean through these rot do you know what's a what's a lobster's form of communication she goes what a shell phone and then she unfortunately does not have a moment where she says, maybe I'm not interested in fucking this guy.

28:17Ronnie Karam: Nah. She's like, that is the worst dad joke I've ever heard. Oh my God. I'm going to be so much richer than my dad one day. Unsup your pants. Well,

28:25Ben Mandelker: you know, before you make a dad joke, you have to ask yourself, what is the price of a dad joke? And are you willing to pay it?

28:33Ronnie Karam: It's all about the journey of the dad joke. Right? um cat is talking about escape rooms she's like um i've done escape rooms before but they're like not challenging enough like a little bit of a riddle get out of her room i'll be like no that's so boring lame put like literal fire under somebody like make it dangerous like make it real dangerous like answer this question or you're shot to your shot to death i mean there's a game

29:03Ben Mandelker: why can't we play that is this where they put up a photo of her and it said unchallenged cat and she was just like bored sitting on the floor um so the chef is serving some oysters and uh joseph let's i love them and johnny damon's happy everyone's happy we forget almost that johnny damon's on this trip and that he's the primary because joseph has taken up all the space um so So, yeah, so Joy is serving this stuff, and Jen is just, like, watching him, and she's like, I swear to fucking God, if Joseph is up until three in the morning again, I'm going to fucking lose.

29:44Ronnie Karam: He's like, yeah, we don't get much sleep as a deckhand either, and we still got to be pretty. And Joy is watching them, like, flirt talk, kind of. And she's like, what is happening? This guy is sending big signal to both of us. and looks like i'm just confused why joy is still wearing a ring from her ex-boyfriend so i'm not going to close the door on jen when i don't know fully that joy is actually interested in me oh okay oh god forbid the woman wear a ring it's like your excuse you're not even dating her just do whatever you want but stop making fuck boy excuses right at the beginning dude come on

30:21Ben Mandelker: Yeah, I think he is most interested in Joy, but he is using this as an excuse to just sample Jen before he goes back to Joy. And he's going to be like, he's like, well, I didn't know. I've been hurt in the past. You know, I have so many walls up. It's very difficult. The journey. I have to ask myself what the price was. And I wasn't sure if I was ready to pay the price of sleeping with a woman who has a ring.

30:43Ronnie Karam: Blame the audio book. I think that he just wants to get laid and Joy is making that a little more difficult. She's like, maybe. I've known you five minutes. No, you're not going to come cuddle with me.

30:57Ben Mandelker: Yeah.

30:58Ronnie Karam: So he's going to go with whoever makes it the easiest, I think.

31:01Ben Mandelker: Yeah. Path of least resistance. Yeah. So on the yacht, Sandy goes up to Kat. And she's like, hey, how's it going, young lady? Would you like a pep talk about something? I get paid for this. And she's like, yeah, I'm good. Cabins are done. Good job. Such a good team. Okay. Great chat. Great chat.

31:23Ronnie Karam: So Nathan and Coop are talking on the tender. Nathan is now still on his search to find someone who could be lead deckhand other than Joe. So he's like, all right, I'm going to train Coop on this tender now. So he's like, all right, let's start with the basics. And Coop's like, I need to go that way. Okay, well, I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. Worst thing you can do is panic. And so Coop is, he's had a pontoon in the backyard. Okay, but that's an outboard. and an outboard, the engine's on the outside and an inboard jet boat, the engine's on the inside. It's like a belly button, but it's an engine.

31:56Ronnie Karam: Are any's better than Audis? I don't know. But if you press my belly button, I automatically go ding dong. So I vote for Audis.

32:07Ben Mandelker: I'm just scared I'm going to drive the boat off into the Croatian mountains as boats famously do. As we all know, all those boats that climb mountains. so then uh nathan is like okay okay let's uh let's make a life tour okay okay oh you just crashed in the dock again okay we'll try again from the top so then uh everyone's wrapping up the oyster farm and they head back to the yacht this one wasn't so bad though right didn't he

32:32Ronnie Karam: just kind of like come right up on it yeah i think so i think it was pretty smooth i mean comparatively compared to luke who's just like foot boom whoop sorry mate so um everyone's back

32:46Ben Mandelker: on the yacht and um joy is like you know for me to serve a meal that is black does not affect my standards it needs to taste good and to look good and the producer's like well do you are you gonna add like more flavor than normal she goes no why my food is already flavored stupid question It's true. When you are blind, you will not taste less. Huh? I love her.

33:14Ronnie Karam: Stupid question.

33:17Ben Mandelker: She's so dismayed.

33:18Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So now Joe is on the swim platform with Nathan. He's like, Nathan, tell you what I'll do. I'll leave it on that table when I'm done here so you can grab it when you want it. All right, that piece of equipment. You know, it just feels like me and Nathan have clicked back into our groove. We're a good duo. We're Batman and Robin. Obviously, I'm Batman.

33:42Ben Mandelker: He literally says, I'm Batman. I'm Batman. He's Robin. Let's be honest here. I'm like, hmm. Maybe you're Joker and like a garbage pail that the Joker walks by. I don't know.

33:55Ronnie Karam: Every Batman movie I've seen lately, they're always trying to arrest Batman and calling him a terrorist. Who wants to be Batman? He's like the most beleaguered superhero of all time. That man can't just catch a break. He's like, I saved your city again. They're like, take him down. He's evil.

34:13Ben Mandelker: If Joe is Batman, it's Kelly Dodd. Kelly Dodd against the Batman.

34:19Ronnie Karam: Yes, I pushed Batman down the stairs and I'd do it again. I'm Bat.

34:27Ben Mandelker: So if, never mind. I was going to make some more Batman jokes, but I'm just going to end it there. So Joe and Nathan are doing well. They're happy. And then we go to the crew mass and Kat is checking in on everything. And they're setting up the table for the big dinner in the escape room. And then Sandy and Aisha are in the main salon. And Sandy points out that Joseph has passed out yet again on the deck. And she's like, Aisha says, I've lost count of how many times he's fallen asleep back there. Yeah, it's like every guy who's gone on a date with Norma, am I right? Sorry, just had to get that in there.

35:06Ronnie Karam: So Kaylee is telling Joe he's going to be the guy that explodes and they're going to have to put him out on the water on a boat. And she says that he's really handsome and there's a spark physically, but, you know, it's not like, oh, I want you to be my boyfriend. You know, my last few situationships, they ended up catching feelings and I seemed like a cold-hearted bitch. but everyone's so ready for the girl to fall in love with the guy right i'm more worried about him falling in love with me to be honest so then um again everyone is getting ready

35:39Ben Mandelker: i hope we can believe that man okay i believe i'll if she could pull that off it's gonna i'm gonna change my tune about kaylee big time but we'll see we'll see make him cry make him cry make him cry what we have is special um so everyone sits down for the dining in the dark and uh they turn the lights off and joseph uh joseph has an observation about the room now that there's no lights on that's kind of dark like yeah that's that's what happens when you take

36:12Ronnie Karam: away the light it's the dining in the dark dumb so they uh they uh do this dining in the dark thing They can barely see through their, you know, little lenses, but everything works out okay. The food is pretty, even though it's in the dark. And Kaylee's serving in the goggles, and Jen and Kat have to clean the dishes and do the prep. So Jen's like, I feel like Aisha doesn't really utilize me to my best ability. Like, it's the 100 % Kaylee show. I felt overlooked a lot before in my life by friendships, by relationships, maybe sometimes by my parents because they're friends' kids who are all doing this amazing shit.

36:48Ronnie Karam: I mean, I can't even go to a McDonald's without them skipping me in the drive-thru. I'm like, hello. I take your order. I give the order. Nobody ever talks back. I go to the window. They're like, you didn't order. You have to go back through again. I mean, for Christ's sake, can I get two cheeseburgers? You know?

37:05Ben Mandelker: You know, my friends, they all got jobs in computer science and finance, getting these amazing internships in London and New York. And me, I'm in high school. I just wasn't really doing that. But I've impressed them in this career. And I've never experienced this in yachting. okay i'm like i why do i feel like her parents are not impressed at all they're like yeah our daughter she cleans toilets on a boat yeah we don't talk about her so uh joseph is uh joseph is eating he's happy and everyone's eating and sandy's asking isha how how everyone's like it she's like they're loving it they're really enjoying it yeah well you know what the goggles looked like Silence of the Lambs, you know?

37:46Ben Mandelker: It puts the lotion on or it gets the hose. Great movie. Great. The rom-com movie of the year. That's how I met BB.

37:55Ronnie Karam: The Silence of the Lambs, you know? I've been trying to break through that and just, I tell lambs, you know, say something. Go on. Don't be so quiet. Just because you're a lamb, you have rights. Come on, speak up. Hey, lamb, what's the first thing we do when we docked the boat. What's that? What's that? Water toys.

38:20Ben Mandelker: Water toys. You know, if someone had just given Hannibal Lecter a hug or two, I think he probably wouldn't have been in that jail cell. Just something to think about.

38:29Ronnie Karam: I remember in the 80s, before there was Ozempic, you know, and you didn't want to eat something, you used to put something over your mouth and look like Hannibal Lecter. I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm talking about Norma. So anyway, it's been a fun night.

38:42Ben Mandelker: You know, fava beans are very difficult to peel. Okay, go on.

38:47Ronnie Karam: Commercials. Here comes one right now.

38:54Ronnie Karam: When demand slowed for HydroJug, Amazon Ads rising star Hayden Wadsworth pivoted.

40:09Ronnie Karam: All right, time for the escape room. Okay, so this escape room is, listen, I've been to a couple of escape rooms, and I don't think this is going to shock anybody. I'm an idiot. I would die in an actual escape room. I've never figured out one clue, okay? I'm not good at these, so I'm not passing judgment. I don't think this was much of an escape room, though, right? Thank you. It was a scavenger hunt. And then that crew member will tell you where the other crew member is. And then you find that crew member and they'll be in a costume. But then you go find another crew member. And then Joe explodes on a pontoon or whatever.

40:44Ronnie Karam: A tender.

40:45Ben Mandelker: When we were watching this last night, I turned to Dom with a very serious face. I said, this is not an escape room. This is a scavenger hunt. And he looked back at me like, okay. That's right.

40:56Ronnie Karam: It's a scavenger hunt.

40:57Ben Mandelker: It's a scavenger hunt. It's not an escape room. Okay.

41:01Ronnie Karam: So you guys failed But they Ooh and on The guests are like Oh my god This is so much fun And Kat is tied up To her crush Coop And she's like Oh my god I had a girl I had a Gilmore Girls childhood Like my idol growing up Was Rory Gilmore I loved her I'm even comparing Her dating life to mine Like Cooper's definitely Dean Right You guys watch that show Right You guys are made for each other You and this Coop yeah meanwhile cut to coop like would you like an innie or an outie oh my god that is so dean

41:38Ben Mandelker: enjoy all like the river creatures he brings back to your kitchen so uh ish that this whole part this whole thing is going on and they're all like yeah they're having a great time with it um i mean it's a impressive little scavenger hunt but it's definitely not an escape room and they pull in it climaxes with joe is like a drift on a naughty boy and they're pulling in Joe, but there's like a timer on his bomb and it goes off. And it was a fun, it was sort of fun to imagine Joe actually exploding out there. I mean, you don't want him to die, but it is kind of funny if you think like, oh, whoops, he just literally exploded on blow deck.

42:18Ronnie Karam: Yeah. But with glitter, it's okay.

42:20Ben Mandelker: Yeah.

42:21Ronnie Karam: So Aisha talks about how great that was. And she's like, you know, Kaylee reminds me of me when I was younger. You know, she's crazy. She's loose on nights out, but when she's at work, it's full focus, full patient, and now I sound like a wanker because saying all these nice things about Kaylee, oh my God, but basically me. Kaylee has the best haircut she's had in her entire life. Wait, that's me again.

42:55Ben Mandelker: so uh so cat is saying like wow the guests are really having so much fun out there and jen's like woohoo i don't really give a fuck bro

43:08Ronnie Karam: so asia's thrilled with this whole thing which makes jen even more upset and she's like wow tonight's such a huge success we sent the bomb really high I just need this level of service and experience to carry through the whole season, alright? Now, Jen, repeat after me. Be like Kayleigh. Be like Kayleigh. Alright, work on that. Sleep on it.

43:36Ben Mandelker: The road to being a person starts with Kayleigh.

43:40Ronnie Karam: So, I've listened to an audiobook once and let me tell you, it's not about the destination as long as you're on the journey with kaylee you're right jane

43:51Ben Mandelker: kaylee i'd like to make you a person it's not even a position we have on this boat i just think it'd be fun uh now it's the next morning and uh luke and joy see each other in the galley and luke is like he does like a like a rut row voice he's like hi joy and joy is like ah scooby-doo yes it is true you look a little bit like the owner of scooby-doo and he's like shaggy no one owns scooby-doo he's his own dog i see about that he will belong to me soon enough you know i'm a little bit

44:26Ronnie Karam: confused now about joy as she thought that scooby-doo was owned i might have to sleep with

44:33Ben Mandelker: jen now i don't know if i like that possessive quality that she has regarding scooby-doo It's a bit of a red flag.

44:44Ronnie Karam: So Nathan and Joe are on deck, and Nathan's like, do you want me to prep your anchor lines? I've already done it. I'm in wake mode. He's like, wow, thank you. Pleasure. Listen, obviously we've had our differences, but yeah, you're going to be my lead boy. He's like, oh, nice and that. I appreciate your fucking work here, bro. You're a good worker, and I can fucking trust you on deck. Trust me, I've tried everybody else. I've had Norma out here trying to park a fucking Tinder, and even she crashed it into the side.

45:13Ben Mandelker: We give the tundra to a sea turtle. No good. So Joe's like, I personally think that Nathan needs me to run the boot, but it's nice to get it from the horse's mouth. Emphasis on horse and not Batman. So Nathan, they're hugging. It's all nice. And then Kat is talking to Jen in the morning and Kat's like, she's like, so did you wake up feeling mischievous? She goes, are you feeling mischievous little miss? She's like, yeah, Cooper. Oh, yeah? Did he tie you up last night? And they start giggling.

45:45Ronnie Karam: Like, tee, tee, tee, tee, tee, tee. So then docking fenders out. H.A. calls to the bow to help and stuff. And then we're in the crew mess, and Kaylee is talking to Jen. And she's like, let's get into our whites. We'll be called a chance. And Jen's like, you need to get into your whites now. Kaylee's told me.

46:06Ben Mandelker: That's like you have to get into your whites. you do so then the docking is happening and Sandy's happy with it nice calling out of the measurements Nathan nice distances Nathan wow you sound like someone who really took some inspiration here's a question for you Clarice Starling hot or not I'm going to say hot still got it

46:32Ronnie Karam: still got it Clarice

46:36Ben Mandelker: remember when the FBI showed up at the house and they thought, oh my God, they got him, but they didn't. It was actually just Clarice had a different house. Oh my God. What an amazing part.

46:47Ronnie Karam: Do you remember when Clarice went to that magic booth and then she switched personalities with her mom and then Clarice was suddenly an adult, but the mom was suddenly Clarice and she was stuck in the FBI and she didn't know how to solve anything.

47:02Ben Mandelker: And then she realized she was in outer space because she took that spaceship and made contact with God, I think. Wow, to think that her mom got to see God. Contact. Freaky contact of the lambs.

47:17Ronnie Karam: Wait, wasn't she a Nell? I think contact was that redheaded girl.

47:21Ben Mandelker: No, contact was definitely her. But what was funny is that when she went to see God in space, but it was actually her body and it was her mom in her own body, her mom didn't know how to speak because her mom had never been taught how to speak because she was raised in the trees.

47:37Ronnie Karam: So it was, I love Freaky Nell's contact with the lambs. It was about visitors or something. Remember, she could speak to the spaceship and everyone's like, hey, how come you can talk to the spaceship Amy Adams? And she always had to look like this, like, I was like, wow, look at Amy Adams talking to aliens. I wonder if any of those aliens have seen Silence of the Lambs. Hey, tell them, it's a good movie. Tell them, Amy Adams.

48:03Ben Mandelker: do you think aliens like chianti

48:11Ronnie Karam: um so uh the guests are discussing the tip and michelle's like right now we've got 20 grand and joseph's like i'll have 15 grand to whatever the tip is and johnny's like yeah he's like thanks for dealing with me well because that's what these guys do they're totally totally

48:28Ben Mandelker: obnoxious and then they give like a really good tip and they're like what i mean i was nice i gave him on such a good tip and it's like yeah but like the audiobook says it's about the journey

48:38Ronnie Karam: sometimes yeah the journey with you sucks now that said as a service person i appreciate apologies like this if that's what you're gonna do and you pay me okay you know for you're forgiven i will take you next time, Joseph. Okay.

48:54Ben Mandelker: See, I think, I guess my perspective is also is from the person who's at the table of the person who's acting obnoxious. Like if someone's acting totally obnoxious throughout the entire dinner, which would be like my comparison for this. If you're at a restaurant and someone's being totally obnoxious, embarrassing you at this restaurant, in the end, the staff gets a good tip for putting up with their nonsense. But what do I get? because i'm the one who's mortified and i'm not going to get tip credit i'm just gonna i'm just gonna be like oh that was a miserable embarrassing three hours of my life you know well you get a

49:33Ronnie Karam: lesson on who not to go to dinner with yeah exactly that's for sure yeah uh so sandy uh it's tip meeting and sandy's like wow you guys did an amazing job meh. Great charter. Okay. Yachting is a business. You're always going to have Joseph's. Okay. When they're rude, when they're obnoxious, you got to defuse the situation. Do we punch Jacob? Do we hug Jacob or Joseph? Do we punch Joseph? Hug Joseph. Punch or put lotion on him. Do we put lotion on him? Okay.

50:08Ben Mandelker: You know, in the great words of, of Shari Lewis, here's something about a lamb chop okay um so we got a big tip for you guys hey guys i'm gonna tell you what the tip is i'm gonna let lamb chop tell you lamb chop what's her tip she's not gonna tell you and that is the silence and scene thank you everyone for coming to listen to watch our crap i'm like i could just end on that note that was great i was like ronnie you found the way to like a lamb chop joke just

50:40Ronnie Karam: with your little hand up there um but guess what they got 50 ,018 which i like the extra 18

50:50Ben Mandelker: dollars has somebody been skimming here so um uh here's a good question that dom raised last night what do they do with all their cash tips do they just like tuck it away in the boat do they Is there a bank that they could go to to deposit it? Because by the end of the season, that's like a lot of cash that's just like on this boat. That's just around. What do they do?

51:18Ronnie Karam: Someone told us on this show, I think, you know, it must have been Hannah or Kate or somebody told us that it's not actual cash that they, you know, they're paid like regularly or whatever. And then at the end of the, it's tallied up and then they get a check. So it was like, it's like prop money. Yeah, they're just like, yeah, give them a big old room. I was wondering.

51:41Ben Mandelker: Yeah, okay, that was one of my theories, was that it was like fake money. Yeah, I think so.

51:48Ronnie Karam: So Aisha is crying because this is such a huge tip. And she's like, I mean, I grew up in a house with cheese. It was such a luxury. Oh, my God. And so tomorrow we're going to turn over the boat. But tonight you got to go party. yeah party time excellent woo woo woo woo woo so um the guests leave and well they've been gone for

52:16Ben Mandelker: a while uh because we were at the meeting obviously the guests haven't left my brain obviously they've they've wormed their way into my life so now they go to dinner in old town Dubrovnik um how appropriate that this show is back in Dubrovnik just in time for uh house the dragons to be back on on tv am i right everyone which is by the way a little advertisement for the fact that we are doing house dragons recap so stay tuned for that but asia uh they sit down they're very happy and coop is uh telling uh nathan like i hope you know i take every word you say he's like i can tell the wheels are starting to click he's like well there's your first problem there's no wheels on the boat oh damn it ding dong just hitting his own belly button So that's why the boat can't go into the mountains Got it

53:03Ronnie Karam: On the water taxi They're all taking their seat And Jen tells Luke, come sit over here Because he's sitting next to Joy And he's like Well no, if I sit next to Coop There's not a problem She's like, well you're not flirting with Coop, are you? And he's like, am I flirting with Joy? She goes, I don't know, you tell me And then she tells us I hate competing for a guy's attention And I hate feeling second choice because I've been cheated on in every relationship I've been in. Like recently I was in this relationship on my previous boat and he talked about buying me a ring and then he ended up cheating on me and then he got engaged six weeks later, okay?

53:43Ronnie Karam: It's like a trigger for me. And this whole situation with Luke and Joy is definitely making me feel very insecure. Oh my God. Then why in the world are you chasing someone who is clearly into somebody else? You're only setting yourself up for failure here. I mean, look, he's giving you the signal that he's into you as well. But like, if you don't want to compete over a man, then don't go after a man who's into two women. Like, you're literally entering a competition and then getting mad about it. It's like you're walking onto a tennis court and being like, oh, my God, I hate balls. I hate balls.

54:15Ronnie Karam: I'm so triggered. Get off the court. Yeah.

54:18Ben Mandelker: You know, on Love Island, was it last night, where Melanie was saying, the prize is not to be picked. The prize is to be respected. I was like, that's a great line. It's a great line. But also don't enter into contests with jokers as players. Okay. Like, choose a different competition, right? Where you don't have to deal with anyone who's not going to give you the prize. So, like, yeah. You're literally awarded for getting picked.

54:46Ronnie Karam: You're on a game show.

54:50Ben Mandelker: And there is that. But honestly, Jen, if you're in a love triangle, that means you've already gone down the wrong path. You should be in a love line. It should be a love point. There should be no third point. One, two, yeah. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Get into your straight line. Get out of the triangle. You know, Jen, I've really enjoyed Jen this season because she's unhinged. And like watching her just like lose her mind is been, has been hilarious to me, but I am, I am greatly concerned for her mental health. I feel like this is, I feel like she's going down like a Sean Young path.

55:32Ben Mandelker: In fact, I actually feel like she sort of looks like Sean Young and I don't think that's a good, that's like a, that's a harrowing path to go down. So let's like not do that.

55:41Ronnie Karam: So by Sean Young path for people who don't know what that is, give me the path.

55:47Ben Mandelker: someone who was unhinged that didn't go well for an actress an actress in the 80s i don't even remember what she did i just remember that she didn't she did she stalk another actor was that something wait i may be totally misrepresenting sean young

56:05Ronnie Karam: yeah sean young had a lot of crazy stuff going on sean young let's look sean young stalker she She was like iconically unhinged. She made headlines in the 80s for her tumultuous relationship and fallout with co-star James Woods. Woods sued her for harassment, alleging she stalked him and left a voodoo doll on his doorstep. Young denied the claims and the lawsuit was settled out of court. Oh, geez. Well, that guy's turned out to be such a class act. I know. You know what? Go down that Sean Young path. It's one of those stories that you look backwards on or you look back on and you're like, yes, Sean Young.

56:40Ronnie Karam: Get him. I know. I think she was always right now.

56:44Ben Mandelker: I take it all back. Go down that path.

56:46Ronnie Karam: Except that she chose James Woods. That was pretty, well, pretty big misstep. But, you know, what are you going to do? The point is, if you don't want to compete over a man, don't enter a competition for a man. You know what I mean? I mean, it's just as simple as that sometimes. So Jen's like, I don't want to be a part of a love triangle, Luke. And he goes, let's have this chat at dinner. all sitting in a triangle at each other. Literal isosceles triangle shape. Yeah. And Nathan is giving Coop, you know, Coop's doing the Nathan, you're just like my daddy. I look up to you so much. I mean, the way you do everything.

57:27Ronnie Karam: I eat, sleep, and breathe knots. Okay. I tied knots all day. Did I help you bring me, daddy? And he's like, you're doing great. You're doing great, my son.

57:36Ben Mandelker: you're just so you're so wonderful um and then cat is talking to asia and she's like coop is just that he's just the cutest thing ever i feel like you do each other's dream he's got a kind heart and if you were my son and daughter i would cry because i love seeing incest

57:58Ronnie Karam: huge incest fan i would have arranged your marriage the second both of you came out of the womb you're just so cute together i can't wait to see the babies you make just stumbling around bumping into walls etc so kaylee meanwhile looks at joe and she puts her finger she sucks on her

58:21Ben Mandelker: finger and goes i heard that you're naughty and that's all that that's all that happens there so then jen goes to the bathroom and since she was sitting next to luke at dinner because she was like you have to sit next to me so she goes to the bathroom and the moment she's gone luke looks over to joy across the table and he's like hi joy joy what's going on she's hey come talk to me and so he comes around and get like kneels down and she's like yes that's right on your knees and he's like wow you piece of shit she's like yes that's right i can be a real bitch

58:55Ronnie Karam: he's like um okay well uh you know how uh you showed me your ring the other day with your ex are you still involved with your ex she's like no we are not married okay i'd like to discover you but maybe you need to take the grass taste the grass if it's better you like other grass go to other grass what do i care and he's like what does that mean like if i hook up with anyone else you're gonna fucking hate me uh luke it means you're clearly flirting with two people at one time and it's not flattering so pick a lane dummy yeah she does not fuck around and she has standards

59:31Ben Mandelker: also she's feeding you so be careful here and so she goes i do not know whatever you want to do do whatever you're gonna do like you could do that and you can enjoy your life as well and she's saying i'm showing him that i like him it's obvious but he needs to show me that he's to me not to say it okay and uh he's like nice talk um so he leaves and then nathan goes because he's gonna go see gail and the baby he's like i just want to go to dinner with the crew and then leave straight away because of gail i'm sure you know she's struggling at home with kaden by herself and my family is more important to me than drinking beer late at night with my crew who

1:00:08Ronnie Karam: i've known for only a week yeah here you are i mean it was weird and i know that he's on tv so maybe he has to shoot but he's sitting there eating dinner okay it's dark so god knows what time it is because it's summer right so it's late and he's they're ordering dinner and gail sends a message when are you coming home and he writes back just ordered probably a few hours and then he's like i've got to go home for gail that's more important to me than the crew then what have you

1:00:35Ben Mandelker: been doing here for the last four hours go home yeah it's called to go uh container okay yeah so uh now we go to this club club lazaretti and uh luke's ordering some he orders drinks for jen and for joy just to make sure that triangle is going at full steam ahead so jen is like um i don't want you to lead her on because like this body language is like oh jen the presumptions that she has i mean also she's so like the the combination of presumptions presumptuous and territorial. And it's going to be very entertaining to watch.

1:01:16Ronnie Karam: She's taking her claim. And he's like, well, it's not like I'm going out seeking. And then we cut to Cooper and Kat flirting. And they're like, oh my god, why do you make me smile? Why do you make me smile? I'm a geek. No, I'm a geek. And she says that she's really into rap boys. And that's like Matt Healy or Pete Davidson. Or like young Jimmy Fallon. Wow, they're funny and they have this charm. but like they're not hot like coop what the heck by the way i have no idea who matt healy is

1:01:46Ben Mandelker: and i feel bad about that but i have no idea

1:01:51Ronnie Karam: i don't know he's no sean young i just let roll i just let rubble over me you know

1:01:58Ben Mandelker: yeah i mean if she had said like you know i like a rat boy like a young david leisure i'd be like great reference

1:02:08Ronnie Karam: old people watching this show he's an English singer songwriter and record producer so get it together okay I will so they really like each other no one shocked they're actually perfect for each other so then inside Luke finds Joy and he's like let's go outside meanwhile Joe and Kaylee are talking and he's asking her how she likes being second Stu and she's like you know it's like really weird because jen got a little bit upset about it but you know she said if on the second stew it's going to be a burden so i just want to have fun you know and he's like oh fair play fair

1:02:47Ben Mandelker: play fair play so then uh joy and luke are outside it's like i'm deaf it is too loud out here and luke is like joy so tell me i knew when i met you for the first time look no we don't need to go deep bear we've only known each other for four days now okay this is too much already he's like yeah i know but if that's enough she goes yeah okay it's fine okay we could talk about you know this beautiful scenery i like palm trees he's like i like palm trees too it is kind of weird i think

1:03:19Ronnie Karam: a lot i think this cast is kind of kind of love island denies like most of the below deck casts where they're like all right are we gonna close this off i need to have the talk like it's your second group dinner out. He's like, I've known from the second I met you.

1:03:36Ben Mandelker: You would be sort of the one. And so Jen is watching, so she's furious. She's like, I don't understand Luke's game or what is going on in his head. I feel like he wants to have his cake and eat it too, but not for much fucking longer if I've got anything to do with it.

1:03:53Ronnie Karam: She's really determined. So then she walks up to Luke and Joy while they're talking and she goes, can we talk please? um i'm sorry can we have a chat can i pull you for a chat hello and so joy is like is that what you want and he's like sure sorry and she goes yeah sorry joy and joy is like oh he's showing me now he prefer to spend time with her than me so all i need to see he has made his decision goodbye dead you are dead to me goodbye yeah i am too old for that baby girl and it's just like yes

1:04:26Ben Mandelker: you both feet so then jen is like i can't do this love triangle luke i'm sorry he's like well i'm not trying to beat around the bush um am i attracted to both of you in very different ways yes i am she goes well i've always been second it's my thing he's like always yes i've been cheated on in every relationship i've ever been in he's like i hear you and i'm sorry and i look forward to adding to that track record no don't do that to me she's like well i feel guilty for having led this up to where it is and Jen showed the sensitive side to me and I naturally want to comfort her and I want to make her not feel like she's second choice or make her feel like she's first choice and then maybe knock her down to maybe sixth choice later this is terrible she's

1:05:09Ronnie Karam: she's first of all she's coming in straight with the guilt like oh my god I do not want to be a second choice I'm always cheated on pouty face and he's like I don't want her to feel like that I'm going to make her feel good with my penis. And then I'm going to cheat on her.

1:05:25Ben Mandelker: Yeah. I mean, fast forward. We already seen the previews for next week. Him saying, I want to take it a step backwards. I want to back out a little bit. Yeah.

1:05:34Ronnie Karam: Oh, my gosh. So Joy is inside. Like, yeah, I need a man whose actions match his words. Like, I don't like the blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, I have to focus and not be distracted by tiny little dick.

1:05:46Ben Mandelker: Yes. so then um cooper is um he they get back on the boat and cooper is offering to make noodles for asia which is very nice and then joy just goes to her cab and just like shuts the door like good

1:05:58Ronnie Karam: night bonsoir and uh the sweetest guy oh my gosh can i make you noodles and bring them to you in bed yes you can impregnate me immediately i don't even know how physically that would work but I'll do whatever I need to do.

1:06:14Ben Mandelker: Okay. So then Kat and Coop are outside on the sun deck because they're going to sleep outside tonight. So Coop is like, how about tomorrow you and me go do something fun like we can call it a date or you can call it whatever you want but I think we should do it. She goes, are you asking me to be out on a date? I'm like, you just said you could call it a date.

1:06:35Ronnie Karam: That is so cute. He's like, yeah, we're going to catch something and put it in a little body of water until mama tells us no she's like oh my god so then we go to um oh well they start to kiss and he's like no funny business i got my retainers in okay

1:06:56Ronnie Karam: so then we go to luke and jen in luke's cabin and uh they're kissing and joe and kaylee are in joe's cabin kissing and then we cut to jen and luke and they're doing more than just kissing and she's on top of him and she's like i'm gonna put it in i'm gonna put it in and he goes don't tell his soul about this oh my god if a man tells you that get off of him immediately yeah it's never good when someone's like let's keep this a secret also can we fire this boat can we just get a new yacht it's

1:07:28Ben Mandelker: so cramped they can barely get like a like a shot of anyone in their rooms you just see like an ear or like you see like a forehead it's like there's no room to even be on camera and i don't even know how these two people are fucking because it like that it's like a crawl space but she somehow got on top of him and they're having sex and they're trying to be discreet but because it's so small every movement like thwacks a wall or a ceiling so the entire boat is like a boom boom boom boom and like literally the entire crew can hear them having sex yeah so it's like jesus christ you can
