2:52Ronnie Karam: to set you up will put you next to joy tonight and then you two can have a romantic conversation and before you know it you'll be getting married like me and scott and luke is like at this point

3:09Ben Mandelker: nobody knows the extent that i've hooked up with jen and that's where i want to keep it because i need the cube to back me and help me fix this thing with joy i'm like well first of all hey you guys were there's not enough room for you guys to be quiet like every thrust you guys had the other night like someone was hitting a ceiling or a wall so everyone heard it first and foremost but secondly it is kind of fucked up to be like okay i'm gonna hide the secret and i'm gonna involve everyone to help me win back joy it's like oh like now you're just gonna waste everyone's time like there's just no way this ends positively for him yeah and i love that his plan is stymied

3:42Ronnie Karam: because, you know, again, another fuckboy move is to be like, don't tell anyone about this, which he said to her while they were having sex. So Aisha's like, you know, I don't know if it's a great idea to get too involved here. You know, Joy can be tough to put her guard down. So, you know, but I'm a sucker for love. So they go to dinner and she's talking to Nathan And she's like oh we call them to sit next to each other Mitch make a match Make me a Mitch Find me a point

4:19Ben Mandelker: If I were a rich man

4:31Ronnie Karam: Diddler on the roof

4:34Ben Mandelker: So Luke is Luke's across from Joy and he has something very romantic to announce which is, on my night shift I organized your cupboard and I put all the labels facing forward so it's easier for you to see it. And she's like, oh, thank you. And then she tells us, I'm the organizer ready. You will need to work harder, my friend. Wow. You organized bottle?

5:01Ronnie Karam: Muppet. You organized my organization? Great. This starts even worse Because he's sitting right across from Joy And he goes, Joy? He's like, what? He goes, I see you I can see you God Seriously You hate me? Hello It was always you It's always been you I'm just a boy

5:30Ben Mandelker: Standing in front of a girl E.T. go home joy i am your father

5:43Ronnie Karam: so then uh jen is jen is at the other end of the table and she's not liking this she's watching luke talk to um joy and she's pissed she's already getting pissed and she's like um i thought the triangle was over i mean that's what he told me last night why am i seeing a triangle we are literally set up like a triangle i'm here they're facing each other what the hell and cat's like oh dude from my perspective this guy is not worth it he's a

6:09Ben Mandelker: fucking player then look is saying these gestures of me rotating a spice spice jar three quarters of the way around i just hope it's the beginning of something and she's like well my words are a little bit sharp i'm sorry we can just do peace and he's like peace and she does start yeah she

6:30Ronnie Karam: starts warming up to him because that was nice and he's you know he won't stop with the eyes and he's like no matter you know how saucy you get with me i'm just gonna keep staring at you with my homer simpson eyes and telling you over and over again i see you and so she does start to break and she tilts her head the minute she tilted her head to look at him and give him a cheers i was like oh no oh no please don't fall for this toy please don't fall for it please don't so then

7:01Ben Mandelker: Jen is talking to Kat and Goop and she's like, you know, Aisha was like, I think it's going well. And then they cheers and then they were like, good on us. I mean, that's just like really fucked up. I mean, what the fuck? This is what happens when you keep a secret. Aisha and Nathan are obviously in the dark that Luke and I were intimate together. Meanwhile, just fuck me. I have to sit back and watch all this. I'm honestly pissed now that I kept this a secret.

7:23Ronnie Karam: Yup. And so she goes to Aisha and pulls her for a chat. Jen's really good at that. Jen's watched a lot of reality shows yeah the way you can tell so by the way i think going uh to get something done at the doctor has knocked my tongue out because i'm even gayer like i keep lisping uh i'm lisping more than usual i'm having more trouble with my s's and my t's okay what do i do about your you mean your

7:52Ben Mandelker: those are not fricatives those are your

7:58Ronnie Karam: my gaiatives your gaiatives

8:02Ben Mandelker: maybe an S is a fricative it's a I don't know what you may actually need to have like a teeth adjustment

8:11Ronnie Karam: a teeth adjustment like you know your aligners and stuff maybe old smile set it up okay so maybe you should be more straight yeah maybe i should be oh my god i don't think i would do well i don't do well as a gay person i can't even imagine how i do as a straight person they wouldn't have me they'd send me right back over the river they'd be like bye go back so um anyway jen pulls asha for a chat and she's like um i just want you to know that like you and nathan like you saying stuff about the Luke and Joy thing. I mean, I hate to be stirring the pot because, I mean, I just heard you guys now saying like things are going well.

8:52Ronnie Karam: And wow, we did a good job. Cheers. I mean, like from my side of the thing, that looks like a little fucked up. You know, like it's like you're plotting against me.

9:04Ben Mandelker: It's just like, well, it's just that Luke said that he really wants to see with Joy. So we're going to try to sit in the middle because I love love.

9:14Ronnie Karam: love and is looking at her like she just came into the 7-eleven covered in like blood and poop at just off the street so she doesn't want to be mean to her but she's like

9:28Ronnie Karam: well she's just looking at her like oh no you're so tragic like what can i do for you right now

9:34Ben Mandelker: you know yeah one time i one time one time i helped a little old lady on the sidewalk she was in a wheelchair and she was like excuse me can you push me over to the trader joe's i was like of course so i rolled over to the trader joe's she goes um by the way what year is it and i said in my mind i was like oh i was like it's like it's 2005 she goes no that's impossible because it's like 2025 and i was like oh i was like oh you maybe you're right i may be a mistake and i sort of dropped off at trader joe's and sort of like left and i was like oh and that's kind of like the i feel like that's kind of the energy that asia had for jen in that moment like oh oh like well this is sad from one year later than the year than she thought it was

10:20Ronnie Karam: i hope she's listening somewhere so i could just say it's going great

10:26Ben Mandelker: i liked her version of 2025 a little bit more than our 2025 was

10:31Ronnie Karam: your version of 2025 was way better okay take me with you

10:39Ben Mandelker: god bless her soul she was a lovely lady in the two minutes that i encountered her she lasted with me 20 years later um so anyway i'm so glad that i like i'm glad that her legacy is being used to compare uh asia's reaction to jen this dude on blow deck so jen's like well i mean obviously

10:57Ronnie Karam: there's a lot that you guys don't know yeah for sure like luke and i have slept together like we fully have been inside each other. Yeah, okay, I understand. You were inside of him, too? That was quite a first time you guys had. I know. Damn. I know.

11:15Ben Mandelker: I didn't even see the dildo. Maybe it was a finger. Yeah. The french fries. French fries. Would that be a reverse french fry? So, Asia's like, because that's so funny, because when she says we were into, first of all, it's funny how she's willing to say, Jenna's like, yeah, we've been inside each other, but no one is willing to say sex on this show for some reason now they keep on saying intimate we've been intimate we've been intimate i mean i don't know what's going on with purity culture these days i mean we just got through a season of love island where everyone was like that's lustfulness that's he's not here

11:48Ronnie Karam: for the right reasons that he is lustful that is what i i was just thinking of that too like what is with the purity thing it's like we've got this whole sexual freedom thing going on at the same time as the purity thing and it's the same people it's so weird you're less that was lust i don't that was last i just it's a lot to wrap your brain around and then they're like oh my god we get to go to the hideaway whatever okay you guys are on love island it's based on like what do we try it's based on less that's the whole point you know shame shame i have fiddles fashion puritanical shame mixed in with the sexual freedom at the same time it's

12:31Ben Mandelker: a mind fuck i know i mean it's a mind intimacy it's a mind list at last it's time for a commercial it's time for a crap it's commercial you know one thing i love about summer is how easy everything

Like, Aisha feels bad because she's like, oh, like I would not have. Like, she's like, I wouldn't have done this. And she goes, I'm so sorry that you heard that from me and Nathan. And Jen's like, because there is no triangle. He said to me last night, there's no triangle. So obviously the only implication of that is that there's a direct line between me and Luke. There's no other shapes that can be made.

15:41Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So she's like, that'll teach me. Sorry. And she gives her one of those like, oh, you sad person hugs, like flat handed on the back. Like, oh. So then we go to Luke and Joy at the table and he's like, wow, you, do you see me? I'm seeing you. I just want you to know that I thought about you a lot. non-stop just give me a chance give me a chance i thought of you as i grabbed each one of those spice spots keep your hand off the phallic objects there's a start uh so she's like

16:15Ben Mandelker: it proves to me that you can earn my time and my energy because you know that i'm here to focus on my food and he's like but i knew from the second day there was something about you i think it's that you had boobies and a vagina she's like and food i don't believe you and food all these

16:32Ronnie Karam: bruschette oh my oh my god man so much bruschette but arm did serious so she you know is cracking a little and she's like when a man does wrong to me i become a little dragon very intense he took some real flame on his face but after the fire has gone away he's still here it make me still like him i can see my soft parts coming up i'm an evolving dragon yes no no never soften your instincts are going to stay with your instincts he's so good he's so he's he actually is very good

17:05Ben Mandelker: he is he's he's relentless well she's also drinking and she's probably getting hornier and she's like yeah you know what wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have a good lay tonight

17:16Ronnie Karam: you know what else i noticed she's a very good chef and she does a lot of work and when she goes out she's going to make someone else work too because her drink is a mojito and that is the hardest work drink to like have to muddle and do all of that shit and i like that for her i like that she's not like you know what i'm not gonna make someone up just pour some vodka on some

17:36Ben Mandelker: rocks for me she's like work for it yes she's like yeah i may have a loaf of bread you can muddle some freaking sugar yeah um so um jen is like um she's like luke luke and she's like we're gonna talk now it's like okay so um so so dramatic she keeps just pulling people from the

18:03Ronnie Karam: table you know now he's the second one so now she pulls him to go have a chat and yeah we're talking now so he goes with her and asia is giving that concerned look to joy she's like so how's your

18:15Ben Mandelker: chat going she's like well i think i'm a little bit hard with my words like no no joy you're perfect with your words absolutely perfect so jen is now standing with luke and she's like so what's going on right now and he's like well after we slept together i didn't really feel right so i don't do both drama and i don't do both romances which is funny because you actually embarked on both those things i don't know if you realize that he goes so i did you started the drama with her

18:43Ronnie Karam: and now you're pursuing a literal romance with joy telling her like oh i see you i've thought of nothing but you from the second day so please yeah and like also like if you're gonna break

18:53Ben Mandelker: up with her don't don't literally lie while you break up with her because you are pursuing a romance with joy actively so like it's fine if you say i don't want drama but like don't also say you don't do boat romances so jen's like um but you said last night there's no love triangle so like i don't understand why we're in a triangle again because we're supposed to be a flat line

19:14Ronnie Karam: right right and he gets that mean glint in his eye and he's like there is no love triangle she's like uh what do you mean he's like i want to focus on work um but are you like having these same conversations with joy he's like i like joy in a different way i like joy in the sense that

19:28Ben Mandelker: there's something in the future oh ow it's so rude and jen's like this is just so unfair i think it hurts even more because i did open up to luke about being second choice pretty much like my whole life i'm like okay well you're also not going to get sympathy for quote-unquote opening up about that that's not opening up that's just like a it's just like a facile thing you can tell someone to make them feel bad for you she's like i was so vulnerable by telling about how i was

19:53Ronnie Karam: chosen a big second yeah and she's like and then he chose to get intimate with me and it's like okay i got what i needed you know i'm like right now i'm feeling like shit well you're definitely right on that one you know so she's like i mean it's not fair for you just to be like i'm gonna fuck this girl and then pursue something else i'm gonna have a conversation with her he's like is that a threat because it's not a threat i'm just saying he's like it sounds like you're threatening me because you're facing rejection and she's like i'm not threatening you i'm just gonna go tell

20:21Ben Mandelker: i'm just gonna go tell her right now but by the way also like she is facing rejection so why wouldn't she say something threatening like why are you gonna make her feel bad you did just reject her and you did so cruelly and callously and now you're like upset with her reaction and so it's

20:38Ronnie Karam: not only the rejecting it's the like having sex with twice on camera on national television on worldwide television like you know that's humiliating and then the whole time you want somebody else and then you're gonna flirt with her right in front of my face like the next day

20:56Ben Mandelker: are you fucking well you're also you're also gonna burden her with a secret and then but have no interest whatsoever in maintaining anything going forward but she still has to have some or obligation as if it were something like that's not fair either and so he says oh what are you doing then can't you take this like a mature adult i was like oh sir first of all the answer is always gonna be no with jen but also like you you're not talking to a mature adult you're suddenly gonna pull this card like be mature like what like like policing how she reacts to your fuck boyery i'm like oh man i was like this guy is absolutely ridiculous kick him off the boat

21:34Ronnie Karam: and she's like well i mean i think do you think you're being respectful towards me and he's like say whatever you want to say smear whatever you want to smear you're not the one to talk about smearing right now i know i know and like he really is and now he's starting to be like oh

21:52Ben Mandelker: here comes the thing where it's like well she's the crazy one she's cuckoo crazy in this case he happens to be right but like what his intentions are here are the classic fuck boy thing which is I can't actually sit in the responsibility of what I've done. And so I have to now paint the other person to be the crazy, immature one. And aren't we all better off without her in our midst? So then she's like, I'm not smearing you. He's like, well, you're going to. I'm like, you can't control how she acts. He's been trying to control her in this brief 48 hours. He's been trying to completely control how she reacts around this stupid hookup.

22:34Ben Mandelker: And it's like, bro, you don't get to do that and also break up with her. It's like you don't – well, you shouldn't be – you don't get to do it in the first place. But you definitely don't get to do it and break up.

22:45Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So she's like, well, I'm going to be truthful. You know, I may be young, but I know men's behavior. You tried to get me to keep a secret. And he's like, oh, from your vast data collection of men's behavior, I guess this is what you would know. And she's like, don't be condescending. And I like her standing up because he really is being a fucking asshole. He's just being an asshole.

23:06Ben Mandelker: She's saying, I'm sorry that I hurt you. This is my bad. I should not have misled you.

23:10Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So she's like, I'm starting to realize like 100 % that he kept this a secret so he could still pursue joy. Oh, my God. What a lesson to learn this way. Oh, my God. This sucks. And nobody would say anything about it Because they wouldn't know that we've been intimate together Yes And please know that this is going to happen Many, many, many If anybody tells you When you're having sex Let's keep this a secret Ding, ding, ding, get out Run

23:43Ben Mandelker: Literally get out in that moment Please add this to your knowledge base about men Yes So Luke is like I didn't want to hurt anyone I'm not reckless with people's emotions. I'm like, I think the evidence points the other direction.

23:59Ronnie Karam: And he's like rolling his eyes. And she says, don't roll your eyes at me. He's like, I'm rolling my eyes because you're treating me as if I've damned you to an eternity of punishment. And she's like, you're being an asshole. And so she's like, oh, my God. Someone his age thinks he's so smart? I mean, wouldn't he be smart enough to realize this is going to blow up in his fucking face? And that was my question, too. Like, did you really think Jen was going to just sit there and take it? Like, do you have no feeling? Like, do you have no sense of other people or their personalities? This probably works in the real world.

24:37Ronnie Karam: Jen never gave me one iota of, like, an idea that she would just sit there and take it. Like, she's extremely intense.

24:46Ben Mandelker: Yeah, exactly. Again, he could probably do this in the real world, but in a small confined space where people are going to be just talking and comparing notes, there's no way.

24:56Ronnie Karam: I think he's poking a little bit because he wants to make her look even crazier because she keeps pulling people from the table. Everyone knows what's going on. Obviously, she's upset about something. So she keeps pulling people from the table. And I think he's just being mean to poke her even further to make her look crazy. So he could just be a psycho, you know, over there.

25:20Ben Mandelker: Exactly. And I hate what he does here, which is he goes, I mean, two people who found each other attractive, intimate with each other. Wow. World News Channel 4, call the news. I'm like, well, don't act like, oh, like who cares? One big thing when you're the one who hyped up this whole conversation. Like I've got to have this conversation. Oh, no, I don't want to have it now because it's going to interrupt the flow. Like you are the one who is actually calling World News Channel 4. And now you're acting like whatever. This is just like a fun thing. We're just two hot people who bang. Like, why are we like even getting so wrapped up in it?

25:51Ben Mandelker: You were the one who actually got wrapped up in it.

25:53Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So he's like, I'm not going to play into this anymore. From now on, it's done and I'm not interested. And then he rolls his eyes again. And she goes, grab cat for me. I thought she said grab a cab for me. And I was like, well, you know, I admire her confidence. Just being like, okay, get me a cab. You fuck. But she was saying cat. so he's like thanks for listening so then he has to go back to the table and get cat so funny

26:21Ben Mandelker: she's ordering the murders so then Luke tells us Jenny's going to go to the table and she's going to tell Joy and I have to tell Joy before and if I'm going to go down I'm going to go down standing up okay don't ask for some sort of shred of nobility here so Luke So Luke was talking to Joy and he's like, well, that did not go well. She goes, well, I don't know because I never had this kind of drama in my life. And he's like, me neither, I swear to God. She goes, well, I don't know. I don't know what is going on with you guys. He goes, well, the night with Jen, we were intimate. I'd rather tell you the truth than not.

27:00And she's like, she goes,

27:04Ben Mandelker: boy, boy. She goes, yes, obviously there's a reason why she's like this. She's like, Joy now understands everything. And she's like, bleh, bleh, bleh. Yeah.

27:16Ronnie Karam: And he's like, she got really mean. Oh, really? So you give her a green flag, you get intimate with her, and then you just like vent her like this, and you want to go back to me? Bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh. So she tells us, I thought they were kissing intimate. I didn't know he was fucking and sucking. See how sneaky men are? He's not solid men. I don't want him in my life. you are a fucking Muppet. I was drunk. I cheered. I cheered. I loved this. I loved it. Just her just making barf sounds at him and being completely unmoved. Like, he's just, like, only pure, like, annoyance with her. And he goes, well, I was drunk.

28:00Ronnie Karam: And she's like, oh, oh, so it means to me that now you, every time you go get drunk, you fuck somebody. And he's like, no. It's like, please, you, a red flag. why are you tasting all the water in the room what's what is wrong with you he's like i haven't

28:15Ben Mandelker: she goes i don't like you anymore because you seem the weak i definitely don't want a man like this in my life i mean it's like that like french that like like it's like the stereotypical like french woman disdain that like you always see in movies or whatever and i know i know french women are not necessarily like that but here joy was serving it up in the best way possible I was raising my hand in praise

28:35Ronnie Karam: I was like yes yes girl preach Love this whole thing Solidified Solidified her as like a hero in my head On this show

28:46Ben Mandelker: Honestly also by the way After watching a whole Summer of Love Island and you had So many pick me's on there It's just like it was so great to see Someone just really just Putting their self worth First

29:02Ronnie Karam: yeah well i mean to be fair i mean love island is about a bunch of pick me's and male and female it's like a show where you literally go on to be picked by somebody i know you know but like you

29:14Ben Mandelker: know it's it just was great to see like when confronted with bad behavior or someone being like yeah it's i don't you you're you're up no you're you lose you're just someone saying right

29:25Ronnie Karam: up front like you're gross and you're weak and i have no place for you in my life please die because you've already died in my mind just die go away like i already killed you in my mind

29:36Ben Mandelker: so just to go away okay yeah that like authoritative like it is you ruined it it's done now i hope that it actually stays that way because we've seen this before on other on other shows and then it was like oh no it didn't last but i don't know i feel like with joy it's gonna

29:52Ronnie Karam: last i feel like she's just like yeah fuck this guy joy has so much confidence and self-respect i cannot imagine her being talked into anything like i think this is she just slightly like cracked a little bit like warmed up a little bit after he did the whole spies you know everything that he's just been saying she started falling forward a tiny bit even though she knew better And now she's like, no, no It's dead So, meanwhile, Kat and Jen are talking Kat's like, what happened? She's like, oh my god, he was so disrespectful To me, like, I've never had a guy speak to me Like that, and, I mean, he was just Like, off, like, I mean, he's been off Since we slept together, like, I could see And he said, I could see Joy as a long-term Thing, well, I was like, you better Be honest with her, and all this shit So

30:42Ben Mandelker: Kat's like, listen, you need to talk to Joy because like you need to set the record straight with this man baby because like i'm sick of hearing his fucking name it rhymes with puke right get it and so jen's like that was a good one i'll admit but i do need to talk to joy tonight and so she's now joy's just like telling luke get your shit together so now jen comes and she pulls joy she's going around everyone this is almost like like those episodes of blow deck where someone did something wrong and the captain has to pull everyone to get everyone's perspectives so now she's getting luke um she gets i mean this is

31:17Ronnie Karam: like the bachelor it's like constantly she's acting like she's the bachelorette going up this is the fourth person she's pulled for a chat tonight the fourth yeah it's crazy so uh

31:28Ben Mandelker: jen's like um i just want to like talk to you before anything gets like escalated i don't think luke's being very honest with you and i told him that i told mom i was going to speak to you and joy goes you can keep him and she goes no i don't want him i don't think he i don't think he deserves either one of us but it's okay thank you whatever and she's like your dress is really

31:46Ronnie Karam: it's really soft by the way oh this was so good because joy also just completely blew her off like she wasn't gonna be she wasn't even gonna be like oh i'm so sorry i didn't even know and like hug her and be like now we're bonded because of this asshole she's like you also asshole goodbye and she's like she doesn't say that but like her attitude is like keep him i don't care and so she when she says it's okay thank you she just kind of like walks away to the bathroom and jen's like patting her like bye like this was supposed to be a hug here's a little pat your dress is really soft the guns look off boy uh get out so then at the table um nathan's like well

32:31Ben Mandelker: you said what you needed to say though, right? He's like, I did. And I tried to do it in the nicest way. I'm like, you may have to work on that nice quality there. So Kaylee is like, so how are you actually feeling? Are you going to go home again? Are you allowed to see the baby sick? And he's like, I don't want to. He's nine weeks old. And if he fucking gets sick, I'm going to blame myself.

32:57Ronnie Karam: Well, I'm glad you're having a nice dinner and drinks. So the bill comes and Luke pays. That's a good go on right there. Luke, see everybody? So then Nathan's like, I'm going to take the guest cabin tonight. And then, yeah, you're really, really considerate. Sleep outside.

33:16Ben Mandelker: Yeah. Got a hotel room or something. I don't know. They should just have a sick bay on these boats.

33:21Ronnie Karam: They do want regular ones. If you get sick on a regular boat, they shove your ass in fucking boat. jail or whatever boat hotel room jail in the bottom yeah yeah right where's that where's that they only went on one cruise but they were like okay if you get sick you're going down here and they show you a little room that looks like a little prison cell like that's what we do with sick people i mean you don't want to end up like a one of those cruises where everybody gets sick and then they're stuck on them why am i talking about this okay we're an hour and a half in so anyway they um they're in the street now and they're getting into the vans and jen's like i'm not gonna get in that van because luke's in there he's like i'm gonna get in that van she's like excuse me do not mock me that is very disrespectful and he's like then do some shout something out like that luke this is not the attitude you need to be you don't like you

34:17Ben Mandelker: just have to you have to take your licks i'm sorry you know you're you know you're in the wrong you know you hurt someone's feelings you have to like just take your licks okay i'm sorry and don't like don't don't be all sensitive that she made a joke okay let her be angry at you right now

34:34Ronnie Karam: god he really sucks yeah so they squabble in the street a little bit and coops like come on now just get in the vans now it's like this asshole thinks i mean this guy's pushing 40 and he's acting like a man child and i like that she said he's pushing 40 and later someone else says he's 35. Pushing 40. I love it.

34:56Ben Mandelker: So then Kaylee announces that her brother's anniversary is going to be while they're on Charter. And Joe's like, I set that reminder on my phone. It's the reminder of when I'm going to start hooking up with someone else. And Kaylee's like, no, you didn't.

35:08Ronnie Karam: I set a reminder on my phone.

35:10Ben Mandelker: Oh, God. This guy's another... He is trying to make up for last season, I think. Well, actually, I don't know, because I wonder when this was shot. I wonder if last season had already aired or not because if it had aired, I think he's going to try to do a redemption. Like, look at me. I can't be attentive to people who've died in their lives.

35:32Ronnie Karam: That's the thing. I thought it was shot very shortly after the last one, but he is saying things like, well, I've been in this situation before and I've learned my lesson. You know, he's kind of saying things like that to camera, so I don't know. They must have seen some of last season. But Wasn't last season like five minutes ago, didn't you just say?

35:51Ben Mandelker: It was five minutes ago. It was the season that was just prior to Down Under. So we didn't get like regular blow deck right now, which is what I thought we'd get. And my theory is that since Frasier had like that heart attack, that it delayed the whole season. But the last season of Med ended with Nathan and Gail in their rental in Croatia. And Nathan heading out the door saying like, I'm going to start the season. so it almost seemed like they were they started filming that season but wasn't that eight months

36:21Ronnie Karam: after because it was nine months after didn't she or nine months after sorry i don't even know the term of the baby like come on ronnie but wasn't that weren't they like eight months later or six

36:32Ben Mandelker: months later whatever whatever it was they did show that like nine months later and then that's when this season began that's when this season began but like was this season filming while down under was airing i don't know like what like it that season when did they the question is just when did that this season that we're watching did it start filming while the previous blow deck med was airing and the question is just whether how much feedback has uh joe received from the audience.

37:06Ronnie Karam: I don't know, but it seems like he's on a Bravo Redemption tour. So in Jen's van, Kat's like, oh my God, he's not worth it. And she's like, motherfucker. Well, by the way, guys, he's terrible and bad. And Kat and Coop laughed. And Jen's like, oh my God, Coop, gotta tell you something. It's so funny. Luke jizzed on eight sheets and didn't change them. And he's like, oh my God, you should not

37:32Ben Mandelker: told me there. Well, she had an ace up her sleeve, Luke. This is, she had an ace up her sleeve.

37:42Ronnie Karam: Commercials, 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.

38:04Ben 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 and this is like a really fun way to shop.

40:34Ben Mandelker: Probably still would have covered for him if he had been even slightly more of a gentleman than he was. So instead, though, she has now told Coop, knowing that it's going to get right back to Nathan.

40:46Ronnie Karam: Yeah, and she's like, yeah, talk about respect for your boss. Yeah, it's true. But also you. And I was thinking in this also, like um cat uh cat as well like if you know about the spermy sheets you can't just let somebody go

41:04Ben Mandelker: sleep on spermy sheet that's the thing like where is like the obligation to just another human being to be like that's fucked up like why are you not interceding and being like you really hey nathan you really shouldn't sleep on those sheets because they slept like they slept in them and they haven't changed them yet like i do think that there's just like a obligation to try to like help someone from from sleeping on some of these situations like really unhygienic yeah and

41:30Ronnie Karam: everybody's reaction as as a reaction from the boat mates start to go the crew mates start to come out in this i started thinking like is this just i mean everyone's like gross ew but they're not that they're not as horrified as i think they should be and i was wondering if it's because they're in service on boats where you're changing sheets all the time and you're seeing nasty stuff on sheets all the time and you're just not really thinking about it. Or like the last season of Below Deck where Ben was sleeping in the guest cabinet, they would just strip the sheets and then he would sleep on the raw mattress, all nasty and, you know, like wine seeping out of him and just getting his body oils all over the mat.

42:10Ronnie Karam: Like, it's just so gross to me and unsanitary. But are they just used to seeing so many gross things that they don't... It's not that big of a deal? Yeah, I wonder, because

42:19Ben Mandelker: it's crazy. It's disgusting

42:22Ronnie Karam: to us as an audience so also uh kind of gross is joe pretending that he's a sweet guy again like we haven't seen this a million times with joe specifically so he's like oh yeah kaylee opened up about her brother and you know now we have this nice little bond and she's like yeah now we're really bonded and this is like romantic so then we go to nathan calling gail and um she's like i'm just trying to get through all this you know and he says i'm sorry you're by yourself and she's like yeah it's really hard raising a newborn all by myself in the middle of croatia and he's like yeah well gonna go sleep in the guest cabin have a nice big roomy bed to all

43:06Ben Mandelker: rubbing me the wrong way nathan yeah she's my best friend man so to not be there to be able it hurts to be able to help it hurts i'm not helping gail as much as i would like to while i'm on board on the boat to go see your shark now makes me so sad well at least he um is maintaining the the fabled tradition of below deck bosuns which is to um cry on camera about how sad you are that you're not there for your baby that's often somewhere else in this case it's very very close normally it's fort lauderdale or alaska but um it's pretty much the standard bosun thing like i just feel so bad everything i do i do for her it's like okay okay yeah it's it's

43:47Ronnie Karam: It's a classic. It's a classic below deck trope. Yeah. So then we go to Coop and Cat in Cooper's bunk. And they're talking about what a great thing they've got going and how cute it is. And she's like, do not make me look stupid. And he's like, I ain't here to hurt you. That's not what I'm about. Promise. I hope so. And I'm sorry that being from Charleston really makes me doubt you. Because that's really not fair to Charleston. But blame Bravo. Yeah.

44:15Ben Mandelker: I blame Bravo at all times. So it's the morning and Joe and Kaylee are on the sun deck and they're working and everything. And Kat is telling Jen, she's like, I can't believe you told Coop about the gist sheets last night. That was so funny. It won't come back to haunt any of us.

44:34Ronnie Karam: Then we cut to Sandy watching her TV. She's like, wow, look at that. Look at that spot's over there. Uh-oh. I think we're going to have to go to that area. it might be a little rolly. You know, this isn't a very good spinoff. It's just really needs some Kevin Costner. Wind is better than rolly. There, I said it. Put that in my Rotten Tomatoes review.

45:01Ben Mandelker: So Luke is trying to talk to Joy, but she's just ignoring him in the galley. And everyone is, everyone's getting to work. And Luke goes up to Coop and he's like, he's like, well, I'm so glad you went to your sham weasel. that's one of the many signs of a good deckhand and koop is like yeah i'm getting there and just like walks away like he's also kind of disgusted and koop is kind of like looking away not making eye contact like yeah thanks he's like i don't know ah i've got this feeling in my head the fact that he like didn't clean up for three days is honestly burning a hole in my head so no wonder no wonder he's sick no wonder what's his face nathan's sick so koop goes up to the person you should always go up to when you've got some sensitive information goes up to joe yeah he's

45:47Ronnie Karam: like hi um i did it nate's bed and then luke came all over nate's bed and joe laughs and he's like yeah well i mean nate's sheets got washed but not till yesterday he's like oh this is fucked i've got to tell him that's a level of hygiene uh i'm gonna tell him right now it's a sticky situation Ha! Not pun intended.

46:10Ben Mandelker: Decru, decru, decru, please come to the bridge for your Charter for Preference Sheet meeting. And I do want to say this preference sheet has been washed. Okay. So now it's time for the preference sheet. So this charter is going to be very cool. Suzanne Klein is a glamorous entrepreneur. She's a world traveler, a proud dog mom, the love of her life, sugar baby. Oh, God.

46:36Ronnie Karam: Jesus So it's this crazy rich lady With a tiny dong Coming onto the boat for another matchmaking Session Where they're going to have all the bachelors Lined up and it's that same Kooky A-type Lady who was on Amy And she's like no

46:57Ben Mandelker: Not Amy Amy means well but she's a very type A, capital A, bold triple underline, italic A person. But it's my job to help her do her job and that job is to make love. Not with each other though. So it's going to be, it's the inverse of last season where last time we had a guy looking at girls, now we have a lady looking at boys. So they're going to get excited for that. They're going to have a whimsical they're going to have a whimsical furry themed dinner party which is of course always what I want to do when I'm finding out who's going to be my next

47:41Ronnie Karam: boyfriend. The furries, yeah. So then Joe pulls Nathan for the chat and he's like, I have to tell you this, purely for hygiene and for respect for you, I've got to tell you, you've been sleeping in a dirty bed and he's like, so have you man, you haven't changed your fucking sheets, like no lad.

48:04Ronnie Karam: Luke, when he was with Jen, he's like, was that what you're on about? What did he fuck in our bunk? And he goes, well, I don't know, but you've got dirty sheets. There's another man's deposit on your bed. You know what I mean? He goes, what?

48:16Ben Mandelker: He's like, why would he put his bank deposit in my bed? Doesn't make sense. I know that money isn't healthy, but I don't know what the big deal is. No, what I'm saying is that he left a little something for you on your sheets. Is it a mint? Did he leave me a mint? No, what I'm trying to say is, there's bodily fluid on your sheets. Bodily fluid. Like, break fluid? Are you confused with your fluids, right? What I'm trying to say is that there's splooge there. I don't know if I'm still following yet.

48:47Ronnie Karam: Well, Nathan, when Nathan hears it, he kind of laughs. He's like, I don't even know how to process this. That's pretty fucked up. So Joe's like, well, I just, you know, if you found this information out about me, I'd like to think you'd tell me. Okay, well, I'm going to go crack on the sundack. And he's like, uh, thanks. Thank you. Thanks for telling me. So Joy is reading the preference sheet. Sugar-free low-fat berries is on there. Okay. You know what, Amy? Just go. Just leave. Sugar-free. No. Low-fat berries. Berries don't have fat.

49:24Ben Mandelker: I don't get that at all. She's like, putain. so um so now and they're getting changed getting ready for this lady to come and nathan luke are in their room and nathan goes i'm gonna name you the bunker spunker and lucas what does that mean and like dumbass yeah he's very thick yeah so you're still not gonna say anything after that

49:48Ronnie Karam: like you're still gonna play innocent so then coop is like oh they know about the thing on the sheets like who fucking told them it's like joe so luke's like what does that mean nathan and he's like you can figure it out but i advise you to change my sheets asap and so he's still being

50:05Ben Mandelker: kind of jokey and then jen is like uh she's like oh my god does he know and cat's like he knows he knows and then luke is like oh no shit so um nathan is telling asia he's like did you know that Luke spunked on my sheets. And she goes, Luke ejaculated. She like starts,

50:23Ronnie Karam: she like kind of like puts her hands down and starts like double jerking a huge wiener. She's like, Luke ejaculated.

50:30Ben Mandelker: Luke spin. Spoon came from his testicles and wound up on your sheets. He's like, yeah. And then when he was fucking Jen, like that's mental. She's like, yeah. She's like, that's gross.

50:43Ronnie Karam: So then she asked Coop if he slept in them and he's like, yeah, he slept a couple nights in them. I'm just like, oh my God, what is going to your fucking mind, man? All right, crew, 25 minutes until the guests come. 25 minutes until the guests come. Get some sheets out.

51:02Ben Mandelker: And then Nathan is talking to Luke. He's like, I mean, the sheets left to dry. Krusty, you dirty fuck. And Luke is just like, well, he's like, I was hungover. I was hungover as balls. So now he's saying like, oh, he didn't clean it because he was hung over and everything. And he's like, he's not being like, oh, yeah, sorry about that. That's my bad. He's just like, well, I was hung over. That's why I was left there. So Nathan's like, oh, so you were sober. Even worse, you ball bag. My fucking sheets. Oh, my God. And you're HOD. That's disrespectful, that, you know. And so he's like still being kind of like jokey.

51:39Ben Mandelker: But you can see it's really dawning on him how fucked up this is.

51:43Ronnie Karam: well it's the the guy's not even apologizing or anything he's just like well i was you know i was hung over who says that you say i was drunk still or something he would say i was well i was sober but i had a headache so uh came all over your sheets yeah who does that so now he starts getting really pissed uh and the guests are coming and so um they're still gossiping about sperm, you know, and Luke's like, who told him? And Joe says, well, I told him, you know, like, I had to. Like, I can't hear that and not tell him. He's like, why did you have to tell him? And Joe's like, just laugh it off, man.

52:21Ronnie Karam: And Luke says, well, it's easy for someone to laugh it off when they're the ones not in the middle of it. You did it. What are you talking about? You just made someone sleep in your cum on national TV. You think that no one's going to know? Idiot.

52:35Ben Mandelker: Yeah. You're not the victim here. that's what's crazy you're not the victim okay you like you perpetrated something that would get anyone fired like you act like it's it's so bad it's so bad it's like it's a high it's a hygiene issue it could be considered even worse than a hygiene issue it could like when you're talking about a like sex like fluids that that are left someplace in a workplace that are the product of sex you actually get into a significant hr situation and he's like wow why are you making fun of like why are you laughing about it like you're not the one in the middle of it it's like um you are so lucky that people have been so lax about it because i don't think the audience is

53:22Ronnie Karam: lax at all so then nathan sees them kind of laughing and he's like oh you know what i'm gonna get more pissed off you know it's disrespectful and i'm not laughing so if you want to fucking laugh about it he's like i'm not laughing i'm not laughing so do you want me to go to Captain Sandy and tell her about it. But I'm not laughing. He's like, but you've got a smile on your face. You think that's funny? And then Nathan's temper starts to come out where he's like, you want a piece of me, bro? Which in this case, rightly so. And I can't believe it's so delayed. Yeah, it was shocking. He does ultimately go up to Captain Sandy.

53:57Ronnie Karam: Next week. Next week, yeah. So he basically tells Luke off and he's like, you disrespected me if you want to keep your fucking job. is not going to end well. If you piss me off the slightest, again, you'll be on the passerelle with your fucking bags packed. And Luke's like, I can't believe I would lose my job over something like sploothing all over someone's sheets, not telling them and watching them sleep in it.

54:21Ben Mandelker: This is crazy. This guy should be fired. Like, if he's not fired next week,

54:24Ronnie Karam: I'd be shocked. He should be fired immediately. And was it on here a crappy hour where we were saying, how did Bravo not even do anything about this? This is nuts. Yeah, no. I'm surprised they didn't intervene.

54:37Ben Mandelker: You know, like when there was that other Luke who was drunk and was trying to sort of take advantage of, not sort of, but was trying to take advantage of Margo on Below Deck Down Under, Bravo intervened. They were like, okay, this is, we have to say something. I was a little shocked. I mean, it's definitely made for a compelling story, a gross, compelling story. Maybe Bravo consulted with a doctor. If it had been a woman's bed, you have a real issue going on. I do think you have a significant issue. But I think you still have the same issue with a man there, to be honest. But when they showed Sandy's reaction next week, I was like, there's no way this guy is not getting fired.

55:19Ben Mandelker: Yeah, he's got to go. He has to. Yeah, he's got to get fired. This is crazy. You cannot have someone sleeping in someone else's sperm. It's totally reprehensible.

55:31Ronnie Karam: All right. Well, guys, we just finished. It took us a long time, but we finally finished. Yeah. That's what it's like getting older. All right. Well, thank you so much, everybody, for being with us. This was great. This was a long one and a really good catch up for this show.

And then I realized it was Michaels and I was so happy. Have you ever accidentally walked into a Michaels? It's a dream.
