3:20Ben Mandelker: Also I just want to say thanks to everyone who joined us for Crappy Hour last night. We actually spent the whole hour catching up on all the Bravo that we didn't watch last week. So if you're wondering what are our thoughts on the Valley last week? What are our thoughts on Below Deck Med last week? Or all these shows? We actually talked about all of them on Crappy Hour.

3:43Ronnie Karam: So definitely tune into that episode. It should already be on your feed. so yes and also i said that was the bonus episode and that was not that was crappy hour but on the bonus episode we did we did still talk about stuff that we yeah you're right we watch a lot yeah we watch a lot of tv we talked about big brother love island um survivor a little bit uh even though that's not on right now you know a lot of stuff like that so go check anyway the point is below a lot of med below deck med is killing it this season they're having an amazing season i can't believe this episode was as good as the last one i mean they're really arguably better there they're keeping it up just like that model on the show luke yeah i i would say that

4:27Ben Mandelker: this was um uh this was even better than last year last week's episode because this week's episode was like it had all the cringiness but also then maddening fuckboy behaviors too which i thought

4:40Ronnie Karam: was exciting yeah uh so let's get into it we um see some of last week um which i guess we can go through because we didn't talk about last week okay so last week was a game of thrones themed crew what the fuck last week was a game of thrones themed yacht trip charter and um wow these people they just they're the they're the kind of tourists that we're all afraid of i think where they just walk to every tourist location and then start yelling the lines like they went to the shame the stairs of shame and then they just walk up and down the stairs yelling shame shame and i felt so bad for whoever sells the nate's hot dogs or whatever at the bottom of those stairs just having to hear that all fucking day like can i get through my day without people screaming shame it's hard enough living with my brain as it is without you know people going up and downstairs screaming shame all day at me.

5:37Ronnie Karam: You know, I'd just be grabbing my muffin top and being like, I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm good enough.

5:43Ben Mandelker: Yeah, I mean, I went to Dubrovnik in 2018. I was like on a cruise. And so I had like an afternoon in Old Town Dubrovnik. That was before I watched Game of Thrones. And even back then people were doing this. So this poor city has been enduring all of us annoying tourists coming through and standing on staircases and saying things like, shame shame shame that game of thrones it was of course the funny thing is that when i went in 2018 while all the all the tourists were like this is where the old sept is or whatever cersei stood here once i was like oh my god this is where they got into that fight on below deck med because i think it was season two below deck med that they literally got into a fist fight in the middle of old town dubrovnik i don't know if you remember that so i was like i was starstruck by below deck med so it is funny that they're back there now um go when you go to those stairs

6:37Ronnie Karam: in deep rovnik you're like wind wind god i love that banana you want a hug naps are important

6:45Ben Mandelker: it was that bosun it looked like lisa vanderpump what was his name wes wes right remember him

6:51Ronnie Karam: didn't you get into a fight there you know not to ask me stuff from below decks because my brain dvr deletes them the second the new season comes out there's just too many too many people on these shows to remember no offense people on these shows but yeah um the yelling of shame is a lot i just imagine myself standing there at the bottom like selling hats or something and someone passing me every day yelling shame like mom leave me alone stop torturing me but you know they sell the ticket so whatever it takes yeah i feel like that's so much to erase from game of thrones though it makes me think about the like special effects in game of thrones because you're shooting in this town that is old but it is kind of modern like some of the you know it's modern obviously it's thousands of years later so there's like probably a gap or something that you have to erase and i thought is it worth it just for the brick walls that you all are passing by like it's just so much erasing to do i mean we were like a house on instagram erasing half of the image that you put

7:51Ben Mandelker: up there it's a lot of special effects i will say like old school the old town nabrevnik looks like it's truly Game of Thrones. I mean, they really do keep it the way it is. I mean, I'm actually looking through my photos from this time of 2018, and it really, it looks like Game of Thrones. I mean, this is just like, oh, are these the stairs? Are these the shame stairs? No, that's just a regular staircase. But they preserve it. They keep it looking. They're like, we're going to keep this looking as close to Game of Thrones as possible. Now that we see it's a cash cow for our city. so there's not a there's like not there's like barely any signage there's some like little little umbrellas up with pizza under it but that's about it it's a very old-fashioned city

8:35Ronnie Karam: so you got a bunch of people around there asking like where's the sbarro like how am i supposed to tell when everything is where everything is well you know what's so funny is i'm looking where's this bar of the brockwood why can't why can't i see the signs like what the hell what is this restaurant called you know they're like it's nothing it's just a an old stone wall

8:56Ben Mandelker: we're keeping a match i think what's funny to me is that like i'm looking at these pictures and i actually remember one of these pictures like oh this is where cersei was locked up but the truth is whenever they're in king's landing on game of thrones everything looks the same to me so i look at these i'm just looking here at this i'm like this all looks the same i can't tell it's all just like beige and terracotta kind of old timey structures.

9:23Ronnie Karam: Yeah, it looks more beachy on the show. Well, I guess Game of Thrones uses those dark filters, especially the House of Dragon, because that one uses blue on everything, so maybe you can't tell what anything looks like.

9:39Ben Mandelker: It's a blue filter on everything. Nevertheless, the point is we are here in Dubrovnik on Below Deck Med, and it's very Games of Thrones-y. And these people were being very annoyingly Games of Thrones-y on the show. But the real thing was that, actually, the episode began sort of with Luke and Jen having sex. And then we had previously left off with them banging so loudly that everyone could hear. And then the last week's episode began with him decided to do a morning session on nathan's bed and wherein luke no no i have to

10:19Ronnie Karam: i have to stop you only to rewind and i know that's so annoying but it's because the most annoying one of the most and there's nothing there's nothing more annoying than the splooch part but so they have sex then he says i'm sweating but don't leave just go on nate's bed and she's like okay and then she goes down and moves into nate's bed and like holds his hand from below like oh yeah we're gonna hold yeah the you know what are you doing you can't just jump in somebody else's bed that's so nasty that is so nasty just to begin with especially a slept in bed like nate slept in that bed we see how often they do their sheets on this show it's not often

10:56Ben Mandelker: yeah gross well if you're gonna do that then also like you know change the sheets afterwards like if you sleep in someone else's bed you clean those sheets you know that's the courtesy um So just even before anything happens in this bed, maybe there's a courtesy infraction that's happening. But nevertheless, Luke jizzes on Nathan's sheets, and they blur it out. Which is funny, because I doubt we could actually see the splooge on camera. I guess maybe we could see some darkness. But they blur it out to really make it seem like it was a giant puddle of splooge.

11:32Ronnie Karam: They were blurring out the hound job, right? Because she was coming to the hound job. She reached around. he was big spooning her and she reached around and gave him a hand job and then he can't like he he was getting a hand job on camera and then came on camera yeah on the bed but but they still

11:51Ben Mandelker: when they when they show anytime they cut back to those sheets and there was no one in it they had a pixelated section every single time like way after it had dried and it was like clearly not visible the producers were like we're still gonna put a pixelation as if it's a big turd that's there so um that was horrifying that was horrifying because it just stayed there i feel like they

12:11Ronnie Karam: don't make enough money on this show to be coming on camera you know like a cam boy or something those guys you know me and my friends watched a cam boy and stuff were cracking up just at the you know like kind of like getting naked one little thing at a time and then playing with their wiener but then talking to you the whole time being like oh hey there hey molly hey molly good to see uh oh yeah you want to see more better give me some tokens oh hey there jeff jeff hasn't been going to work hey might want to drop some tokens there jeff like they're constantly trying to sell and do all of this oh like they're hustling what it's like watching a costco sampler person masturbate like they're hustling so hard but then they're also like jerking off and then on this show they're just like free hand job right on the tv i mean what do you get paid for this show five dollars a week you know that's just you guys need to have higher standards for what you're willing to do on reality tv because splooging all over a bed especially it's like a six foot five you know model from men's fitness i feel like maybe you should have a union i don't know but

13:19Ben Mandelker: that's just not enough money yeah that's fair so um they have this intimate moment and then um one of them i could have sworn jen said i'll clean that up but then somehow it becomes luke who's gonna clean it up like i was a little confused about i don't know did he did i miss something where he said no you don't clean it up i'll clean it up i don't remember who said i'll

13:43Ronnie Karam: clean it up but your first instinct should be to grab that those sheets and be mortified and

13:48Ben Mandelker: throw them yes right the moment that you're reaching for the doorknob is the moment that there should be like one hand on the doorknob and one hand on all those sheets in a bundle and you put them in the laundry room if the machines are going you put them in you just put them on the floor like these have to be washed yeah you gotta you gotta wash the sheets i mean that's

14:11Ronnie Karam: just so fucking nasty i think it's ultimately his responsibility because he was the one fucking in his room and then told it's his you know the lady he was having sex with to go down on the other thing and it was his splooge so i think ultimately it was his responsibility but she is a stew also

14:29Ben Mandelker: so that's the thing and she's saying and she's not only a stew she's a stew who's bragging about how good of a stew she is that she's been first stew elsewhere or that she wants to be first stew and why she should be second stew and like i think if you want to be a higher ranking stew You've got to show some initiative. And good Lord, there could, you're showing more initiative for that hand job than you are for cleaning those sheets. So get your priorities straight. I mean, I say both. Well, I have a hand job, have fun with it. But like, come on, don't complain.

15:02Ronnie Karam: Yeah, we're not even, we're not shaming the sex part. It's the cleaning part.

15:07Ben Mandelker: It's the cleaning part. Don't, I'm saying don't complain about the fact that you don't have second stew. And then here is a moment where you should show some true initiation and you're just not initiation, initiative. You should do this. I mean, I'm not saying like – I don't know who's responsible for cleaning these sheets. But I'm just saying if this is literally your job and you want to show that I will – I deserve a second spot because even if it's something that I probably don't have to clean, I will do it. because that's how dedicated I am to my job. Then do it. Do it.

15:45Ronnie Karam: Yeah. But she doesn't, and he doesn't. And he should because he's the one who's actually saying he's going to do it.

15:53Ben Mandelker: That's the thing. So I feel like she failed because she didn't show initiative, and this is her job, and she's complaining about how she's being passed over, yada, yada, yada. And here is a very simple area where she could excel at her job. And I think he fails because he actually says he's going to do it, And then doesn't and spends the whole episode being like, well, the machines are full every single time. I'm like, no, no. You put that on the floor, someone's going to pick it up and put it into a machine at some point.

16:22Ronnie Karam: So we opened – so then other stuff happened that really nothing compared to that. I mean that was pretty much the whole episode. It was irrelevant. Yeah. Well, Cat and Coop went on a date. And the juxtaposition of just the most innocent people on the planet going on a date. they were like intercutting it with handjob and all of this other stuff because they're on a date and he's like i won't even kiss a girl until i'm sure you know i gotta talk to my daddy about it first i hope that comes back soon and she's like this guy is like so amazing he's like rom-com goals no because in rom-coms the guy's like a jerk at first or he you know he doesn't know who you are You're just like the, you know, the mousy little secretary who takes off her glasses and then is suddenly gorgeous.

17:10Ronnie Karam: And then, I don't know, there needs to be some conflict. It's not just two boring people walking into it. Well, I shouldn't say two boring people. Two sweet little angelic people just walking into each other and being like, oh, my God, I love you. I love you, too. Let's have babies. Let's have babies. I mean, that's too much real life to be on a movie. But it is really cute to watch them do it.

17:31Ben Mandelker: Yeah. Yeah. They seem very sweet so far. I was a little dismayed that we're so early in the season to be saddled with a below deck date scene. But I think it was really there just as a contrast between what was going on with Luke, etc.

17:50Ronnie Karam: etc but here's the thing this man is from charleston so are we really believing he's not a douchebag because we've watched a lot of shows that take place in charleston and i don't think that anybody on there has turned out to be just some sweet guy so can i say something

18:07Ben Mandelker: with something that was like not pointed out on really even on the show itself but something i observed and i think this is a on an episode where there'll be a lot of complaining and a lot of ranting i want to have a positive moment ronnie which is as part of their game of thrones dinner i want to give a shout out to whoever made the little game of thrones throne for the primary i don't know if you noticed that they took a whole bunch of plastic swords and taped them to the chair and i was like you know what i see that creativity and i would like to recognize it because someone put some thought into that and i really liked it wasn't it the chief steel i don't know who did it if they did show it i zoned out because i don't pay attention to when they make their tablescapes but you know well i think it would be the chiefs too because she's

18:51Ronnie Karam: like the tablescape queen she loves the tablescapes but yeah i thought that that was pretty i thought

18:57Ben Mandelker: that was pretty good too like it was so cute the guy was sitting there with all these plastic swords on his chair i loved it i was like you know on an episode full of sploge and jizz and poor hygiene like give me a good throne i know i think it's important to you know really stay with

19:14Ronnie Karam: the theme when you're doing a show and you're celebrating one specific plot oh my god it just came just kidding it's time for a commercial it's time for a crappin's commercial you know one thing i love about summer is how easy everything feels the days are more relaxed and i find myself reaching for the same comfortable go anywhere pieces again and again

21:43Ronnie Karam: So Kat and Coop go on a date and then it ends with Luke trying to end things with Jen. Okay, so of course they have sex and of course, you know, this guy does obviously what we all know he's going to do, which is immediately look at the camera and say, oops, maybe I'm not into her. I like Joy because Joy's got something deeper. i want what do i do to write sir this was not some drunken whoops your penis did not just fall into that vagina you've known this person you've known her level of like cuckoo bird and you went right into it twice on two different beds so no no yeah and so then he starts trying to be really

22:28Ben Mandelker: nice to joy but joy's already over him because joy's like no i do not deal with stupid d so he is and he realizes he's messed up he's messed up a shot at joy too and he's probably messed up his free food so now he's gonna start distancing himself and so what does he do he eventually he's like he starts first of all he starts staying up later after his bedtime to help joy in the kitchen he like cleans a few dishes and of course joy is like you clean two dishes that doesn't fix anything but then um what's her face jen is like oh two can play at that game so then she stays up extra late after her shift is over so that way when he comes down he comes downstairs he's asleep and he wakes up at like 2 30 a.m or something for his anchor watch and she's like she's like oh yeah they just went to sleep but they'd gone to sleep like two hours earlier and so they're you're

23:21Ronnie Karam: showing him she's like i'm gonna show him i'm gonna stay up extra late working too and getting less sleep. He thinks he's going to get away with it. Wow, diabolical.

23:33Ben Mandelker: I'm like, Jen, as long as by the way, she stays up two extra hours just wasting time so that way she can talk to him privately. Did you not think at any of that time to brush your hair? She's like, I'm going to show. Oh, he's interested in joy? Well, I'm going to seduce him back and I'm going to have the craziest hair in the process.

23:55Ronnie Karam: Her hair was like a rat's mess sticking all out. She had two little braids coming down the front of her head looking crazy. I'm guessing that was her Game of Thrones effort. And then maybe her whole hairdo was like from the Game of Thrones thing. She looked like one of the people in Game of Thrones that's just like in a tavern that they're throwing a cup at or something. She's like, ah. And it's very specific that they're throwing a cup at.

24:22Ben Mandelker: I'm from Tumbleton. Tumbleton. she's like i've had to give up my house for a soldier of the high towers yeah it was very she was giving like very game of thrones poor extra and i thought no she kind of made rena look pretty good she was i was like i was like wow you know what rena looks kind of put together compared to jen

24:49Ronnie Karam: oh god so yeah so she decides to like confront him on why he's being distant or like confront him on their relationship or okay look this man not only moved you to the bottom bunk but that made you like lift your hand to hold his hand that's like this man is not here to make you comfortable you know what i mean every little sign is that

25:10Ben Mandelker: this guy is not going to be the guy the hands it's like the sistine couple you know touching fingers um but so she's there and she's like he so he's decided he's going to call things off so he's from the joao school of direct communication and he's like he's like well as far as i'm concerned uh there is no more love triangle and so she's like well she starts this

25:35Ronnie Karam: all i wanted to hear yeah yeah so is that the discussion we're having right now we're starting with the episode right or did they have uh it's sort of like blends but was there other stuff

25:47Ben Mandelker: before that that you wanted to no no no no i just thought it was funny how she starts off the

25:53Ronnie Karam: conversation because she's so pushy and the way when they were when initially she walked up while he was talking to joy went on their night out when on their night you know what i'm saying on their night out she walks up and she's like um can i pull him for a chat or whatever and joy leaves annoyed and then she sits down with him and she's like um well first i have to tell you that like i'm always second choice and like everybody i've ever been with has cheated on me oh my i know that you're doing that because you think you're going to guilt him into not doing that to you but sometimes i think you're giving people an instruction manual you know what i mean it's like you're saying that was almost like you're putting i know and i i feel like i've done that before like when you give your insecurities to somebody and then they know exactly what to harp on with you or they know exactly how to get you you know it's almost like or if you go up to someone

26:45Ben Mandelker: and say like you're not mad are you and they're like i wasn't mad but should i be mad about something wait a second i realized yeah i actually be mad yeah but she thinks she's gonna kind of

26:55Ronnie Karam: manipulate it and this is before they hooked up or anything but she's like i'm gonna win this guy by saying, I'm always second to, you don't want someone there because they're feeling bad for you. Come on, Jen. I mean, Jesus Christ. And also what, like,

27:10Ben Mandelker: what about you interrupting him talking to another woman to announce that you're sick of being, like you want to be chosen first, suggest that you were chosen first in this situation? Because the mere fact that he has prioritized talking to Joy over talking to you means you're already in second place. So you going up and talking to Luke and saying, like, I'm never picked first, that does not elevate you to first place. And now if you have been picked and if you guys do everything from this point forward, no matter what you say, you're still picked second because he was talking to Joy first and he was showing interest in Joy first.

27:48Ronnie Karam: That's true. It's like going into a job interview, even though it's not a job, but in a situation where you're trying to impress somebody and being like, I always come in second. like i never win yeah want to hire me no not really it's made yeah yeah like i don't know

28:06Ben Mandelker: you complain about that to your friends you don't complain about it to the person that you like now that being said i i still am extraordinarily sympathetic to jen because i think she is well i think i don't think she knows how to you know interact with other humans properly and i also feel like she's pining for love, and she's pining for this stuff, and she doesn't know how to go about it, and so she's sort of desperate. And this guy's taking advantage of her, honestly, because he knows he has all the control, and he's like, sweet, this is an easy way for me to get laid, maybe even have a handjob in the morning.

28:46Ben Mandelker: And for her, she's like, ah, finally. So I mean, I just, I want her to raise her standards, and do better for herself but i ultimately blame luke for this well yeah well listen i not saying that you don't say that but i'm just saying i want to reiterate before if people are like wow you guys are like going in on jen so hard it's like no no it's more just like you know this is like the the anti-van here this is like the the video that's going to play in the anti-van when we put you in it which is like this is these are the things you have to look out for if you don't want to be chosen second don't go to the guy who's already chosen you a second yeah and talk about

29:23Ronnie Karam: how you're always second trying to guilt him guys are not going to feel guilt like that you know what i mean they they don't operate on the same on the same emotional wavelength where they're going to be like oh i feel so bad for you i can't sleep around it's like you're saying i'm insecure so i'll do anything to get your attention or you know your whatever and then he just uses you i mean oh and it so sucks because so all of us who are involved with men get this we've all been through it and we're like old guys so we're watching this young you know girl do it and it's

29:58Ben Mandelker: like no i mean we just got through love island we're we're still we're still dealing with the melanie and sincere the ramifications of melanie and sincere but it is the same pattern of like don't hurt me don't hurt me i swear to god up and hurt before don't hurt me don't hurt me it's like the guys like the guy will then pretty much just go and do that thing which is what sucks

30:20Ronnie Karam: oh my gosh so okay so she decides she's gonna have this talk with him and she's also really pushy you know and she's competitive obviously and she's she's just that kind of personality like my parents are so successful but i'm gonna be even more successful as a purser or whatever so she's got that kind of personality and she's one of those people who's gonna tell you what you're thinking and then let you just nod your head so she goes up to him and she's like um yeah after the other night like i feel good with everything and you seem to have the same thought and then she just nods at him meanwhile she's got like dark circles from like eyeliner coming down and crazy hair and these little braids and she's looking at him so intensely she's looking at him like the girl from um like i wouldn't say blair witch because she's facing the she's facing a corner i don't know like a horror movie where they just like obsession flash on the light real quick and you just see someone giving you that intense look like i just came out of the toilet and I'm going to kill you.

31:18Ben Mandelker: Yeah. God, ghosts love crawling out of weird places. So then, seriously. Like I said, the ring. Yeah, RIP. RIP, ring girl. So then Luke is like, well, nobody wants to be in a love triangle and nobody wants to be the second choice, which is why I am making you the first choice of person I'd like to dump this season. Congratulations.

31:40Ronnie Karam: You went first place in the race of people that I don't want to be with. But he's not even that clear. And she's like, well, I mean, from where I'm standing, it seems pretty easy. And he's like, well, that's why I want to take the time just to step back and just to reassess and realign.

32:00Ben Mandelker: She's like, yeah, like, I mean, you and I were just chilling. That's like her attempt to be like, I'm a cool girl. He's like, yes, we are cool. She's like, yeah, our vibes are just like good right now. And that's why I needed to, you know, fuck with you today. And he says, I know what she hears is what it's just like her and I, but really what I mean is my heart is with joy. Oh, your heart is with joy. Your heart is with joy.

32:28Ronnie Karam: Too late. Too late. That's not how it works. And you're in an enclosed space. You're on a boat. There's no running, sir. There's no waking up and just walking away, you dumbass. so um and this is very joelle to be like well i don't know why she's not hearing it i mean all this girl needed to do was make him a goddamn cheesecake for two days and walk around with it

32:53Ben Mandelker: you know oh for christ we really need ellie on this boat to like read this guy for filth although he actually gets read for filth pretty well so then jen is like so she's like i mean there's no more triangle so none of this has to be weird what's going on here and luke says you know over time I've learned when to have difficult conversations and with Jen in the middle of a charter I can't push it any farther than it is like you this is the time to have your awkward your difficult conversation because she clearly has goo goo gaga eyes for you and you're sitting here giving her this like either don't have the conversation or have the conversation but the quasi half conversation is where you're really going to get into trouble where you're going to semi say it and then she'll be confused and then you're going to make it seem like it's almost her fault for

33:41Ronnie Karam: not understanding your cryptic words yeah like you don't have it you don't you can't push it right now you had no problem pulling it over and over again you fucking douchebag so he's like oh yeah i can't do anything right now it's just going to be too stressful at work yeah it's going to be more stressful when people find fucking sploge on their sheets i know how about you think about when

34:02Ben Mandelker: to have the difficult conversation while you clean the sheets. How about that?

34:06Ronnie Karam: Yeah. And so she's like, are you going to deal with the bins? I mean, they're not that full. He's like, yeah, I'll do it. She's like, yeah, thanks. Going to bed. Bye. Wow. Just solidified that one. I've got a boyfriend. There is no more competition here. It's called the race off.

34:27Ben Mandelker: Jen, it was worth it to stay up those extra few hours. So now it's the morning. final day of charter everyone's waking up joe says hi to luke cat begins her morning shift kaylee's on the bridge with sandy and by the way kaylee is like want me to change those those linens so we see like that's a subtle contrast like kaylee is taking the initiative to change someone's linens around here um and you know sandy's like oh yeah thanks so much well sandy

34:51Ronnie Karam: and then we see jory and that's another thing sandy is the captain walks up to her and she's like here's my sheets thank you that's what you do okay that's what you do when you're a boat professional you take your sheets off and you hand them even the captain's you know doing that with her not split split sheets but still you know you get your own sheets so then joy is making some bread and muffins and then we go and she's braiding a brioche which i thought was really what I'm gonna bake I'm gonna make a you know what's great you know what's great Ronnie um I

35:29Ben Mandelker: uh I thought I had a doctor's appointment today this afternoon turns out it was this morning and I missed it entirely and I was really annoyed by it I know but it means my afternoon's free I'm gonna make some I'm gonna make a I'm gonna I'm gonna make like a bready type thing I'm gonna make something that has like a rise you know now I have like a period of time to do it that's um My kryptonite in the kitchen.

35:53Ronnie Karam: I cannot make decent bread. I just can't do it. I've tried it during the pandemic where everybody was like, oh my god, let's make a sourdough together, you guys. We're all inside. Let's make some bread. So I got with that. And you know, I've been talking to you about trying to make bread for years, and I've just never been able to do it. I don't know. I don't know what it is. I've got a bread maker from, like, Amazon and made a bread maker. Bread maker doesn't work? years ago. It made it, but it came out like a big kind of hard loaf and it smelled so yeasty. I just didn't like it. I've just never made bread that's up to my standards as a bread lover.

36:30Ronnie Karam: I mean, really all I am made of is bread and potatoes.

36:34Ben Mandelker: I enjoy my bread machine. I think it's really fun. And I accidentally bought a thing of bread flour this weekend instead of regular flour, so I'm even more motivated to make some bread. But I agree. It's not the same. I saw a video this morning and it was like oh look at that nice round of sourdough and you're just looking at it and then someone touches it and it turns out it was an owl and like its head turns around like i love those videos i thought you would love that yeah i do sourdough it looks like sourdough but really an owl what a great misdirect yeah whoops ouch just ate an owl that was that was awkward also owl what's up with your survival instincts that you just let yourself be poked by a human It's a Jen Owl.

37:18Ben Mandelker: Like this love triangle's over, right?

37:22Ronnie Karam: Yeah. But I love this because Joy was braiding a brioche. And I love the contrast between this last scene of Jen being crazy-eyed, looking at Luke, being like, so you're saying there's a chance? And her braid's coming down. And it's like Joy braiding a beautiful brioche. This is like poetry.

37:43Ben Mandelker: It really is. Also, I just don't understand how you'd even mess up the chance to be with someone who could just make a brioche without having to consult a recipe. To me, that is special. Those people who really know how to make bread, they just know you put in this much yeast and this much flour, and they just can make something? Make a bread? You do not fuck that up.

38:09Ronnie Karam: It really is a beautiful art. and you don't see bakers on Love Island. You know what I mean? Like, you don't see people, you don't see bakers on these shows where people are like, oh my God, I'm like so massively into a baker. Why? Why is that? The best we got was Gall. Why don't bakers get any ass on these shows? Yeah.

38:31Ben Mandelker: All we got was Gall who could make coffee and apparently claimed to love to cook because he has a little cafe in Mar Vista.

38:37Ronnie Karam: Sick! So... Baby! also bread is still a really under it's one of the only industries that hasn't gone crazy trying to charge us nine million dollars for things like i bought a sourdough loaf the other day and it was four dollars and it was so beautiful like it's stunningly beautiful it's one of the only things that hasn't gone insane in prices where they're like you know a sourdough is now twelve dollars

39:05Ben Mandelker: i wouldn't be surprised i love that for you i love that for you um i bought a sourdough loaf reason it was$12.

39:12Ronnie Karam: Oh, wow. I guess the price of your sourdough in my dystopian future.

39:19Ben Mandelker: So I love that for you. I love your depressed sourdough prices. Maybe you bought an owl and didn't realize it. Yeah, it's ATV.

39:26Ronnie Karam: Maybe I did. It's ATV sourdough. But it was beautiful and it was very lovely. Where did you get a$12? I'm sorry. People are like, this show is about a vote, people. You've been talking about bread for 10 minutes. But where did you get a$12?

39:37Ben Mandelker: It was fancy. I got a tartine. Yeah, there you go. Those are fucking gorgeous though. They're gorgeous and delicious. You want me to splooge on your sheets?

39:47Ronnie Karam: Put a sheet in front of the counter at Tartine. Because that, that. Those things are gorgeous in that bakery case. Wow.

39:57Ben Mandelker: Is it sourdough? It's a new show on Netflix where you have to decide is it sourdough or an owl? And then you splooge. So Joy is making her brioche. and and everyone's Nathan is like sneezing he doesn't feel well so now Nathan is under the weather I'm sure he did not get a cold from the splooge but I think we're all thinking like he got something from that splooge and his body's trying to is trying to fend it off right he got good old fat good old fashioned common splooge cold

40:28Ronnie Karam: yeah I don't think sleeping like next to uh by the way did they show Nathan sleeping next to the splooge yet? they did okay on it he's yes on it without a shirt that yeah that was the that was the big huge circle they showed it was nasty and they showed him like cuddled up to it sleeping too you know like sleeping on your side and then cuddling and he was his face was cuddled right next to this stain so disgusting okay i know we've gone for a long time about splooge so now i'm gonna get mad about someone coming onto the boat sick i don't like that it's just like you're On a tiny little thing, you're going to get everybody sick now.

41:06Ronnie Karam: I mean, what are you supposed to do? Just not have a chief or a lead deckhand? I guess you have to come to work, but.

41:12Ben Mandelker: Yeah. I have, by the way, for those who are interested, I did ask Google. I said, can you contract a disease from dried semen on a sheet? And it says, no, you cannot contract a sexually transmitted disease or HIV from dried semen on a sheet. The viruses and bacteria that cause STIs require a moist, warm. Why do you have to say moist? to Google. Warm environment to survive and quickly die once the fluid dries out. Dead germs cannot transmit disease. So I guess that's the upside, assuming that Google is actually correct. But these days, considering all the issues with funding for CDC, etc., I don't know what to believe anymore because it's just an intern there being like, I think it's okay.

41:59Ronnie Karam: Yes, it should be okay.

42:00Ben Mandelker: As parasites, take over all of our fresh produce.

42:06Ronnie Karam: Oh, yeah. God, I read about that parasite thing. No salads for a week. Oh, really? Is that what it is? Obviously, I didn't read too much about it. I just read that there was one going around.

42:19Ben Mandelker: So our wonderful government cut funding for tracking many, many foodborne illnesses last year. one of them was this parasite that has now taken over michigan and is spreading it's now in california um so it's like i don't know the official guidance don't look to me for official guidance go look it up properly for your region but people are now saying like stay away from fresh vegetables and prepared like salads and everything and if you are going to get like vegetables get them whole and peel out the outer layers it's a whole mess so really glad we stopped funding for the CDC on that thing there.

42:58Ben Mandelker: That's great. I love that we did that.

43:00Ronnie Karam: Great move.

43:01Ben Mandelker: I'm glad our taxes are going to nothing.

43:04Ronnie Karam: No, they're going to war. Don't you worry. Oh, that's true. They're going into bloodshed and murder. We've got that going for us. Wow, it's all going great over here. Anyway, my point is that snot is like no splooge and you shouldn't be blowing it all over the place at work. There. I got it out.

43:22Ben Mandelker: I will say that. There is that too. Everything's gone. This is a boat of horrors right here. Okay. Like we literally just got through Hantavirus and then this is happening. I mean, it's just not fair. It's a lot for us to take on. It's not.

43:34Ronnie Karam: But I would like to put some grateful energy out there into the world that sourdough is not made from vegetables. Thank you. Because I'm eating that shit. Thank you. So owls are not a vegetable for those of you shaking your heads at home. So Nathan is sneezing all over the place. and Coop's like, you okay, daddy? You okay, please, daddy? No, we're worried about you. He's like, you don't have to sit at my bedside. I'm not your father. Please, leave me. I thought you weren't coming back last night, daddy.

44:06Ben Mandelker: Gail calls up. Nathan, could you help me take care of Coop? I just need your help. So then Sandy says to Nathan, how you feeling, huh? One episode of wind last night, right? When he got out of that bathtub all naked, just staring at us and made those, those orders about the wind. Wow. I was, couldn't believe it. And Nathan's like, well, I feel mucusy and sneezy and puffy. Just like, okay, well, stay away from me. Okay. No, I'm, I'm not joking. I know you're laughing. I'm not joking. Just stay away from me. Okay. Cause we gotta, I'm the captain. I can't get sick. Okay. All right. Get away from me.

44:41Ben Mandelker: You sneezy, sneezy makes mucus a lot. Right.

44:45Ronnie Karam: Like a sleeping in someone's dried semen. Jeez. Yeah, I'm surprised that Sandy wasn't like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you are huggetined. That's like quarantine, but, you know, people hug you, okay? Three, stay alone, but people come up to a window and they just give you, you know, spirit hugs. I'm surprised that she didn't quarantine him because usually Sandy's like, oh, no, no, no, what, you're sick. Oh, my God. Hold on, let me pull out my toolbox here of positive affirmations for you, okay? Because she's a big quarantiner. But, you know, I guess what are you going to do without your lead? I can't.

45:21Ben Mandelker: Yeah. By the way, we see the previews for next week. I think Joe starts puking off the side of a naughty boy. So it's just nothing but bodily fluids this season. Yeah. There you go. Commercials.

45:33Ronnie Karam: Here comes one right now. One thing my mom loves is to bargain hunt. She will go to a garage sale, to a flea market, any old sale at the mall. I'm taking her from sale to sale to sale to sale. And I finally found someplace online that I can just park her and she'll have the time of her life. And that is WhatNot.

45:54Ben Mandelker: WhatNot is an app that does live shopping. There's a whole community there on WhatNot. You're connecting with sellers and other shoppers. And it's kind of like hanging out with a group that gets you.

46:05Ronnie Karam: And this is like a really fun way to shop. You never pay full price there. You can shop name brands across makeup, perfume, clothes, handbags, jewelry, and more, all without the sticker shock. It's the best place to find great deals on products you love.

46:20Ben Mandelker: And there are amazing sellers with great, great taste, and they're going live all the time, like 24-7. You can comment in real time, and they'll just show you a close-up of clothes. You'll be like, hey, can I see that a little bit closer? I want to see that detail on that shirt. And they will show it to you because it's real time.

46:35Ronnie Karam: And you can sell, too. Do you have clothes, bags, or accessories sitting in your closet that you don't reach for anymore? WhatNot makes it easy to turn them into cash, connect with shoppers who share your style, and have fun going live while doing it.

46:47Ben Mandelker: It's amazing what you can find on there. I literally just purchased a mid-century modern dance yellow paella pan for$35, and I've seen it listed elsewhere on the internet for$80. It was a bargain.

They've got over 4 ,500 party supplies, more than 60 different themes, and prices starting at just 99 cents. Plus, they've recently lowered prices on hundreds of items. We found adorable decorations, balloons, everything we needed to pull the party together without making a bunch of different shopping trips. Plus, I always have a good time going to Michael's. I love shopping there. I could just browse the aisles forever. But if you're short on time like I always seem to be, you can also get same-day delivery or buy online and pick up at the store.

48:10Ben Mandelker: They even offer free helium inflation on select balloon styles, which is such a lifesaver and it was for our party, truly. So if you've got a birthday coming up or just a celebration, remember Michael's Everything to Celebrate Anything. Visit Michael's in-store or shop online now.

48:33Ronnie Karam: so um nathan is talking to joe and telling him stuff to do and he's like luke was supposed to do that and he didn't do it like what the hell these rails aren't clean and um nathan's like damn it luke where's luke's head at and joe's frustrated he's like i'm very frustrated with Luke, he's in his head with Jen and Joy. See, I've been in a love triangle myself. So, I understand. You better step real carefully with what you're doing, man. The internet's gonna hate ya. But God, it's good to see it be someone else this season.

49:09Ben Mandelker: If you make this awkward, between a chef and interior, there's three departments that you're already affecting. You're practically affecting the whole dynamic of the boat. Well, that's true. So it sounds like if this were last season of Below Deck Down Under, I guess we'd have to fire Jen.

49:25Ben Mandelker: wait we have to watch because remember when they or i demote jen remember last season when they basically like jenna was like in a love triangle with ben and eddie and oh my god yes in your

49:38Ronnie Karam: strife jesus yes oh god you're infuriating me all over again we've got enough to be pissed about in this episode don't bring that one up jesus um so then joe's asking koopie if he's

49:51Ben Mandelker: excited for the night out. And Joe's saying he's just really excited to get drunk with Kaylee. She's perfect with me because she's down for anything serious. She's not down for anything serious. And Coop is saying how he and Kat are like, well, we're really on the same wave. And then the guests come out and they have a lovely lobster Benedict breakfast, which looks really great. And then everyone's cleaning and Nathan's telling Luke to do some lines and Luke is all distracted because he's in a love triangle.

50:19Ronnie Karam: Don't have to ask me twice. So then Kaylee and Kat are talking and Kaylee's asking, how you feel about Cooper? And Kat's like, who makes me Google a bit? She's like, have you ever had a long-term boyfriend? And she says that, yeah, she's had a long-term boyfriend and it was over a year and it was really tough when they broke up. And it really ruined her a bit. And then she starts telling us that they were obsessed with each other. And then he was starting a business and she was in law school. and you know she had her whole life planned out and it just went to shit because they were at different places in her life and the producer's like have you gotten over it's like not really oh no i knew this wouldn't work like these two like just really sweet good giggly dorky people yeah i just had a feeling well maybe it'll still work i don't know yeah listen cat i know that

51:19Ben Mandelker: after your boyfriend went off to law school things fell apart but there's hope for you guys just watch southern hospitality i think emmy and will are doing great so cat is like oh god it just sucks like i haven't been with anyone and cooper's the first guy i've opened up to since my last relationship and so feeling vulnerable again has just like been super super difficult he's just like ugly crying over cooper and this guy poor cat she's so so she's really lovely and

51:52Ronnie Karam: kaylee's like yeah my last boyfriend i thought i was gonna marry him too and um she's like yeah just it's never had about that and then they make some hospital corners on a bed

52:05Ben Mandelker: yeah that's the best way to suppress your feelings yeah i'm making hospital corners

52:10Ronnie Karam: I'm going to put my tears into a nice

52:12Ben Mandelker: but these two are like you're around a sourdough

52:15Ronnie Karam: yeah I don't think either one of these guys is going to be the one to like help your feelings jeez Joe you've got Joe over here and Luke over here oh my god yeah so it's time

52:27Ben Mandelker: to dock and Nathan is telling Luke to do something he's like he's like just watch that line doesn't fall in the water just go back to the clits we need that line out of the water Luke Luke Luke Luke and Luke's like yeah I know how to do it. And Nathan's like, just go, go back to Cleese, bro. But Luke is basically fucking up left and right. And Nathan's like, I don't know what the fuck is going on with Luke, but he seems really distracted. He just needs to snap out of it. So they dock. Luke does not do a great job, but they're there. They don't crash or anything, so it's a success.

52:58Ronnie Karam: What's he like that for? You just came twice. Like, what are you so distracted about?

53:06Ben Mandelker: Well, that was yesterday. He was all filled up and ready to go again today.

53:09Ronnie Karam: it's filled up again um so let's see whatever oh so then jen is talking to cat and she's like yeah so last night i had a really good conversation with luke yeah who's like um so guess what there is no love triangle anymore and i was like oh my god that's all i wanted to hear bro nailed it won that one that's pretty good and so cat's like so he gave you validation she goes

53:35Ben Mandelker: yeah i mean just like the clearest validation i mean i believe that his words were um yeah maybe we'll hang out again i'm not sure i don't know if i really like you that much i was like enough with the sarcasm right i just love a sarcastic guy god even he was that clear

53:50Ronnie Karam: but geez this fucking guy so then um joe is telling nathan like oh my god this luke guy's on one today you know and he's like yeah since last night out there's been something bothering in him. All crew, let's meet the doc for guest departure.

54:07Ben Mandelker: So everyone leaves and now it's time for the tip meeting and they do some cleaning before the tip meeting and so right before the tip meeting starts Luke turns to Nathan and he's like well I was going to do your betting and he's like no I'll do mine bro. I'm going to do my betting. I'm going to take it. I like to do my own. He basically is like I want to do my own betting and so he's like now gathering up and handling all the semen sheets and Luke says, gender were intimate on Nathan's bid, but I never had the opportunity to clean the sheets, but I should have. Should have, could have, didn't.

54:42Ben Mandelker: What can you do? I'm like, no, no, no. You don't get to be coy and do a should have, could have, didn't. You had so many chances. It does not take more than 30 seconds to rip those fitted sheets off that mattress and throw them in the laundry room across the hall.

54:58Ronnie Karam: Yeah. And Nathan's like, I'll do it myself. I don't want to make anyone sick Oh god If only if we all had that Thought Process so then Luke Sees Joy she passed well she passes Right by him and she passes through the Crew mess and he's like thank you for breakfast And she's like She doesn't Even know any of this happened yet and She still has already written him Off yeah yeah it's great

55:26Ben Mandelker: This is what I like to see she's wonderful so then joy is like we look in jane i don't know what they have done but even if they have just kissed it is disrespect i did really think that we really liked each other but there's now no chance i will talk to him again unless he proves that he really wants to be with me the mountain is very high i hope that he has a lot of stamina because it is going to be long

55:48Ronnie Karam: i was cheering at the tv when she said that she's like the mountain is high i hope he has lots of stamina. Pretty good. So now we go to everyone cleaning. We see changing sheets again. I think production is like, look how much sheets are changed. Here's the ninth time we're going to show you sheets being changed on this episode. It's like the splooge bed is the only bed on the episode that has not taken two days to be changed.

56:20Ben Mandelker: So now Gail, Nathan's speaking to Gail on the phone.

56:24Ronnie Karam: She's like, what are you doing?

56:25Ben Mandelker: And he's like, nothing much, just washing down the boat. I'm going to come back to the boat tonight because I don't want to risk her baby getting sick. She's like, really? But I thought you were going to come home now. And he's like, no, but I don't want, I'm looking out for my son. I don't want to, I don't want to be selfish. I actually care about not making people sick, unlike some other people here, I suspect.

56:45Ronnie Karam: Oh, gosh. Isn't this the part where she was crying? I remember one part she was crying and saying like, it's just, or it sounded like she was crying. But she's like, it's just really hard to do this all alone in the middle of Croatia.

56:59Ben Mandelker: I think it's another conversation later on. But basically, she's pissed. She's like, okay, do whatever you think is pissed.

57:05Ronnie Karam: Because guess what moms have to do when they're sick? Be around their baby and take care of their baby. Yeah. And then he's like, oh, yeah, I don't feel good. I can't go out with the baby. I can't come see you and the baby. Still going out with everybody to breathe all over them at dinner and enjoy myself and have drinks. well it's like you can't be there with the baby you can wear a mask i mean i don't know this is

57:29Ben Mandelker: actually one i have i i don't know what the protocol is with parents like is it better if you're sick to stay away from the baby or is it better to um to help out uh your your wife right like i don't know i really don't know but i do know that if he hadn't gone out drinking if he

57:46Ronnie Karam: hadn't gone out with everybody to have dinner and drinking later and they'd like stay confined or something okay but i got pissed when he's like out and he's like oh sorry he just can't be there with the baby i agree the baby sick i don't know it just that's gross and she's obviously crying that she needs you there so i would i would take the mom's decision i would take the mom's wants over you thinking about the baby if she says you need your help badly enough that she is willing to risk it then you get your ass over there dude hell he's basically like uh he's gonna be a nuisance

58:21Ben Mandelker: to everyone because if he stays on the boat he's going to make everyone on the boat sick which can make everyone's life harder and by the way uh congratulations to whichever guests wind up sleeping in the guest room that he sleeps in because you're all going to get sick now

58:33Ronnie Karam: and that killed me when he was like i'm gonna just sleep in the guest room because i'm not feeling well well that's great for the guy who works with you because he's not in but yeah i thought it's like someone just paid like twenty thousand dollars yes they're not going to be wiping down every you know section of it with bleach yeah i don't know i actually really don't know i you know i think i don't know what i don't know what the protocol is with this but luckily i don't have children so i don't have to worry about it um so i say listen to the mom that's the protocol and if she says she wants you there get your ass there and don't go out you know for

59:08Ben Mandelker: drinks you dick that's that's probably a good uh like because the other thing is this you can go home and you can like mask up and help out and then like maybe you sleep in a different room

59:20Ronnie Karam: or maybe i was gonna say you've told me and you're well that's i'm sorry that's not really anybody's business i guess but like there have been times when you guys have been one of you has been sick and the other one has like slept in another room or whatever so yeah like if there's been like you're trying to help each other you're still being there for each other but not trying

59:39Ben Mandelker: not to get each other sick as well you know more like in the like sort of in the peak of like the past few years when i was like oh like i might be coming down with the covid does this mean i'm gonna be like you know i don't want to give you covid by accident and then all of a sudden you're whole you've got a gig coming up and vice versa so we try to be mindful but there are like ways there's just there are ways to to deal with all of it but the point is that everyone's sick on this cast in some way there are germs going left and right um i still by the way i also don't know why he doesn't like put on a mask if he's feeling i don't understand with anyone like this is like it's not even a political thing it's so annoying that you even i even have to give a disclaimer if you're feeling ill and you're gonna be around a lot of people like just put on a mask as a common courtesy it's like the same courtesy as like covering your mouth when you cough like i just don't understand like why you wouldn't do that but yeah whatever but here we are so uh sent now

1:00:41Ronnie Karam: Tip meeting. It went really well, guys. $27 ,000. You really brought Game of Thrones to the board. Shame. Shame. Just kidding. I wish I had a staircase so I could just stand it and get a bell and go, hugs. Hugs. Hey, do we have

1:01:01Ben Mandelker: anyone else coming to this meeting? Aisha, do you mind if you just hold the door? Hold the door. Get it.

1:01:11Ronnie Karam: um so now luke is saying you know he's telling joe like i'm gonna have some big conversations tonight and they're like oh no joe's like oh so then we cut to jen and cat and jen's like um oh my god this was the position i was in the other night with like she just like splays out on the floor cat is in the unlucky position of having to like

1:01:34Ben Mandelker: be like jen's audience because like jen's like jen is so eager to tell the world about all the different things going on in her life and cat is the one who's stuck hearing it because she's not going to tell anyone who's superior to her so cat just has to listen to jen as she natters on about every stupid like sexual conquest and you know primal urge that she has and cat's like oh wow great thanks i'm so good to hear this so happy yeah so luke is still talking to joe and he's

1:02:04Ronnie Karam: saying that he's going to talk to joy and he's like oh i need to tell her just truths only truths maybe i get a chance at redemption come on man it's like one night after two nights after what are you talking about no why what is even going through his head do you think he's just so tall and muscular that he's used to people doing whatever he wants and just getting away with I think so. Because this can't be the first time.

1:02:32Ben Mandelker: I think so. So Kaylee asked Jen if Jen had a talk with Luke. And Jen's like, well, there's no more love triangle. He fucking confirmed it. Everyone, mission accomplished. Can we have a banner up here in the crew mess?

1:02:47Ronnie Karam: And she's like, finally, I'm someone's first choice. This is like the validation I needed. We can all move on with our lives, guys. Okay? Don't worry about it. I won.

1:03:00Ben Mandelker: so now um luke and joe are on the deck and luke is like it doesn't feel right and i want to do things that feel right and maybe even like tight and sort of stimulating and things like that and he says enough is enough i have to end things with jen and i'm going to try to repair things with joy but if jen doesn't get away big tantrums so watch out and you know he's saying these things with such gravity where i think he starts to believe that he's actually taking the high road and he's being a gentleman here. And that he's actually, like, we should actually be congratulating him for being such an honorable person.

1:03:36Ben Mandelker: It's like, no, bro, you're a fuckboy. Shut up.

1:03:40Ronnie Karam: Yeah. And the whole - He says, like, enough is enough. Huge tantrums. If she doesn't get her way, well, it's not like you just met her. You know what I mean? This is your fault. Yeah, like, yeah,

1:03:52Ben Mandelker: this is you, you dumbass. When he says enough is enough, it's almost like, I am so above this situation It's like you caused this situation Into you and you knew that you were not into her

1:04:04Ronnie Karam: You knew it Well he was into her enough to come twice But at this point I'm really Cheering for her to have a tantrum And make a huge scene Love a tantrum from her I would love it because I hate when they get away With this on this show specifically Constantly get away with You know So I mean to the it's not like no one has ever stood up for themselves but not enough for me you know i mean i need a supreme a supreme telling off i thought the last time joe was in a love triangle she handed that she handled that really well when she found out what a fuck boy he was what was her name um uh blake lively girl v yeah v yeah dad you're good you're really good with

1:04:52Ben Mandelker: below deck people memories here and there here and there um so everyone uh finishes cleaning it's i can remember their names but i can't remember what happened last night i'm like what happened next now asha um asha i guess talks to scott which is fun she calls scott and updates him on every single thing going on on the boat she's like this is good she's a sweet arm this

1:05:18Ronnie Karam: this girl she's a little rougher but still a great job so they're talking about their wedding and all that good stuff and then we go to interior and uh kaylee uh goes for cuddles with joe and they get in bed together and then she shows him her pocket locket uh in memory of her brother who passed away and that's crazy that it's the second joe season in a row i know right like here we go again because v had just lost her boyfriend the year before yeah and needed support from joe and then joe immediately was like i can't take it oh yeah he um and so yeah because kaylee

1:06:06Ben Mandelker: she tells about how her brother had I think cerebral palsy I could be wrong and he passed away when he was five so it was a long time but she has a very nice monologue about how she loves saying his name to keep his memory alive etc and she's telling Joe this that's why she has the locket and he's like that's lovely what a beautiful thing to share with me I can't believe she would share it with me and I was like this is Joe's gonna fuck with this girl again especially when we've seen the previews for next week when she says the anniversary of her brother's death is coming up. I'm like, he does not do well with those death anniversaries.

1:06:44Ben Mandelker: Watch out, Kaylee.

1:06:45Ronnie Karam: How is it possible that that's a plot again? That it's like someone else's death anniversary coming up for Joe to fuck up. So, I don't know. Let's see if Joe's learned his lesson because from what I've learned from the show is that people don't learn lessons. But we'll see. so then we see cat talking to jen and she's like who's bedding is this and jim's like um i think i saw nathan and luke doing their sheets it's the juice sheets it is the juice sheets and cat's like oh my god thank god these are finally here and then uh nathan is telling asia that he's not

1:07:21Ben Mandelker: gonna go see gail and uh asia says well no matter how much support you've got it must be so fucking hard sitting at home with the baby all the time but it's short too and it's yet another show on Bravo where new parents are spiraling because this is all that Bravo is all of a sudden the valley this show in the city a little bit definitely next season there was some other show that's Big B Dynasty they're all they're all going through it this is i mean i found success with the valley and then they're

1:08:01Ronnie Karam: like you know what people want to see miserable people with babies wow you really have not never

1:08:07Ben Mandelker: seen such strong marketing for staying single and i guess i guess you still have a baby childless childless this is why this is why i love old school roni because they already had their kids their kids are 20 years old they're off to college and they're just they're past their they're past their kids they're past their first marriages they're past their careers and now they're just drunk in manhattan like that is well not at first they weren't yeah but it still wasn't

1:08:34Ronnie Karam: very few little babies yeah and it wasn't about how hard it you know how hard that part was it was like the um how amazing it is it to be drunk with my friends instead of being at home with my kids which exactly i that's the lifestyle i watch bravo for you know i'm not saying other stuff shouldn't exist in the world of course it needs to that's how the world goes on like you have kids you deal with your miserable loser that you fucking married because you settled whatever that's awesome i have to watch that in real life i don't want it on my bravo okay i want drunk crazy people with rubber faces yelling at each other for no reason yeah that's you know i'll

1:09:11Ben Mandelker: take one show where there's a where there's issues with the with the baby and everything like that in terms of like you know having to raise a baby it's just too much on bravo i mean this is supposed to be escapism i'm lucky because i don't even have a kid but i have to imagine if you have a baby maybe i'm sure there are some people who watch these shows and are like i get it and this is like very compelling because it's like you're really identifying but i have to imagine there are a lot of people that are like i don't want to turn on bravo and see what i'm

1:09:36Ronnie Karam: dealing with right now you know i love that we're talking about like what a blessing it is not to have kids i actually turned to my nieces last week and i was like you guys i'm so blessed to not have had you. I love you so much. Like this. Like, you know, once or twice a week at my house playing video games. Because it's like... It's too much. Go home. Go home. Go home, Tracy Olsen. Go home.

1:10:11Ben Mandelker: You can't live with your design. You're going home. Call back to top designer

1:10:16Ronnie Karam: See you later decorator So now everybody is getting ready to go out And they're like oh my god you look amazing No you look amazing And so they separate Into vans And in the first van we've got The stews and Coop and Joy Coop and Joy And then in van two we've got Asha, Nathan, Luke and Joe So in van one Nathan is like Oh you were down for this charger thinking about Jen and fucking Joy and shit Huh what about that I mean, I notice that you're missing some spots on stuff. It's too much thinking about your winkle.

1:10:50Ben Mandelker: And Luke goes, I was hurting. What? What are you hurting? Is it your dick hurting from coming too frequently? What are you hurting about? This is every fuckboy.

1:11:00Ronnie Karam: This is every fuckboy. Whenever they're called out on stuff, it's like, but I'll feel pain.

1:11:08Ben Mandelker: Next is, I love my mom. I love my mom. She's done everything for me. so he goes i'm hurting that i hurt joy i like joy on a very different level well it's inherently a different level because you don't actually like jen so every level is different from that and so then then we see kaylee and you know joy they're having fun and joy is saying um she's like no i don't i don't drink shit i'd rather don't drink shit no stay away and then luke is saying i love her i think tonight i don't know i don't drink shit i'd rather not drink yes she's amazing oh i see what i don't drink so when she said it i thought i yes i now see the context what she's saying which is like this drink is beneath me that you're handing me yeah that's how i took it well i love that it's pastille day today and we're getting such a great joy episode because this is like if we're going to celebrate france like let's do it through the the body of joy because joy is just like amazing congratulations you've reached the end of part one

1:16:00Ben Mandelker: Back to school always makes me nostalgic. New shoes, sharpened pencils, trapper keepers, lunch boxes, and trying to memorize your friend's home phone number. But parenting during back to school looks a little different now. Between school pickups, carpool practices and after school activities kids need a way to reach their parents and honestly

1:16:18Ronnie Karam: they need a way to reach them too but a regular smartphone can come with a lot more than just calls and texts social media internet browsers endless apps and constant distractions that can be a lot for kids to carry into the school year my friends have a kid and they were fighting over whether to get the kid a phone because you kind of have to have a phone as a kid in today's world but they did not want their kid to have the tiny computer, the gateway to a lot of bad things in their hand. And this is the perfect solution.

1:16:48Ben Mandelker: That's where Gab comes in. Gab makes phones and watches designed for kids with no social media apps and no internet browsers. They give kids the connection they need while giving parents helpful features like GPS check-ins, optional managed contacts, safer messaging, and even the option for Gab music, clean songs curated specifically for kids.

1:17:08Ronnie Karam: It's a more age-appropriate way for kids to build independence and a much easier way for parents to feel good about that first phone or watch. We can't recommend Gab enough.
