0:35Ronnie Karam: This episode is sponsored by Butterball Turkey. Butterball, care hard, cook easy. I was watching The Real Housewives of Orange County the other night,

0:44Ben Mandelker: and I was thinking so much of this drama could have been solved with turkey. I think that about so many things. Exactly. Just get everyone around the table with a delicious meal, a turkey meal. That's how you bring people back together. What if it wasn't Thanksgiving? Being the Grand Dame isn't a one-day-a-year affair. Every day is a chance to get down with turkey burgers, ground turkey, and more. Eating turkey is like watching Bravo. You can do it anytime, and the more you do it, the happier you are.

1:11Ronnie Karam: Yeah, Butterball Turkey is made for everyday moments that bring people together with ease, and it tastes great while doing it.

1:17Ben Mandelker: Do you think if a Butterball Turkey showed up at the Real Housewives of Rhode Island reunion, it could bring everyone back together? Maybe it would, girly. Maybe it would. I love a turkey.

1:28Ronnie Karam: Butterball simplifies cooking so you can focus on who you're cooking for.

1:32Ben Mandelker: Butterball has turkey made for the way you care, whether you're cooking for your best friend or mending bridges with your frenemy. Butterball.

1:39Ronnie Karam: Care hard, cook easy.

2:08Ben Mandelker: part two of the recap. If you missed part one, go check out your podcast feed. It's right there. And without further ado, let's get right back into the recap.

2:17Ronnie Karam: So then Joy is making lunch and dinner and she's like, oh, I protein, lean food, clean food. I'm going to cook a lot of carnival protein for them, even though they drink like five liter of alcohol full of sugar.

2:32Ben Mandelker: She gives us look like these people are idiots, right? Do they not understand?

2:37Ronnie Karam: so when it's liquid joy my gosh yeah she needs to understand some gay some gays

2:45Ben Mandelker: so then they serve tons of meat and joy's like uh i hope i have enough meat enough food for them i'm like you don't you do not you serve muscle gays and um she's serving stuff like chicken skewers i mean she's serving straight up meat she serves she is serving which i thought they

3:04Ronnie Karam: would appreciate but they're like yeah this isn't enough protein so already they're saying this and she is serving quite a bit of protein so i thought oh no she's fucked yeah i mean um it's funny because

3:14Ben Mandelker: the last charter it was the primary wanted nothing but carbs she was actually the first time ever someone said i only want to eat carbs so now she's swung the other way into protein land

3:25Ronnie Karam: and then when that lady hurt her shoulder drew was like oh it's because she does not have any protein her bones are probably hollow so it's karma

3:40Ben Mandelker: so then she's like she then texts she she's running out of meat and so she searches on their phone she goes how many grams of protein a day for intensive gym guy who google's like to maintain muscle for athletic males approximately 200 grams a day she's like so she texts her provisioner but they can't get out to the boat with fresh protein until the next day.

4:05Ronnie Karam: That's crazy. First of all, get a new provisioner. But second, they're dogs. I mean, just can't you? I always wonder about this show. Can't you just put somebody on a bike and send them up to the AGB or whatever?

4:16Ben Mandelker: I feel like the provisioner is just an intern on production, and they're like, am I allowed to put in an order with Dacostinos for some chicken for them? They're like, no. Make them suffer.

4:28Ronnie Karam: yes we want to watch these gays melt down we'll bring them down refuse them chicken

4:37Ben Mandelker: so um now they're at the swim platform and they're wearing speedos and stuff and water toys are going out and um it's fun and i guess they're all frolicking and they're bantering with jen and um then they're doing one of those things like eye contact when you cheers Otherwise, seven years of bad sex. Yada, yada, yada. Yeah. Oh, they're obsessed with Gin. And you know what? She really does seem to have turned over a new leaf at the last second. You know, there's a good person inside everyone. Sometimes it's just deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper down. And I like that Gin goes, well, I bond really well with gay men because they love a messy straight woman.

5:26Ben Mandelker: I was like, you know, that's a fair point. That is a very, very fair point.

5:32Ronnie Karam: It is. I have to say, I don't think Jen is like a gay. Jen's not like a gay icon friend. And listen, you know, I have a lot of gay icon friends. I love a lady. You know, my best friends are all very extreme. I wouldn't say. I feel like Jen is someone that they're going to. If they see Jen at the Abbey, they're immediately going to start handing her trays and drinks and asking her to change the curtain for the drag show. She's like a worker bee for a gay, I think.

6:05Ben Mandelker: Well, I think that she's just more like – she's like bait for gays as a televised persona. I agree. I don't think that she'd be someone that everyone wants to gravitate towards at the Abbey. But we want to watch more of her on TV because she's a disaster.

6:24Ronnie Karam: yeah well okay i'll give her that but she's also everyone's like oh my god they're being so nice

6:30Ben Mandelker: to jen because she's carrying the alcohol yes she's carrying the only sugar they have access to

6:37Ronnie Karam: yeah asia's talking to sandy and uh sandy is about to have 36 years sober and um that's an incredibly long time that's as old as a middle-aged person yeah that's a huge accomplishment so then um sandy is looking at the lazarette and she's watching

6:59Ben Mandelker: nathan and joe interacting with each other you know picking up on things and she can tell there's still tension so then over in the crew mess coop and cat are talking about what's going to happen after the season and he's like what are your plans for afterwards and she's like um when am i coming to fort lauderdale he's like um i don't know whenever you visit whenever you come to visit jenna i go and she's like yeah well i'll come to stay with you he's like well i stay in a boat she's like um well i'll find we'll find somewhere or anything and he's basically trying to put up all these obstacles to like have her not come and she's like so you're saying you want me to come visit is that what you're saying well i don't know why she's getting these expectations from me oh my god here we go with cooper and his hurly hurly i don't understand why she expects

7:51Ronnie Karam: anything from me because you just told her that you want to be in a secret relationship with her and it's so hot to hide it from everybody and what are you acting like she's making stuff up in her mind it makes me crazy this fucking guy yeah he's like really getting away with it because

8:07Ben Mandelker: he's like so like he's outwardly presenting as very sweet and goofy and seems like everyone likes him but he is low-key being so fuckboy-ish to her or at least leading her on um and she even says it later yeah and and he's being awful and you know it's really good because uh hannah i

8:25Ronnie Karam: talked to hannah last week while you were gone on the bonus episode hannah farrier from this show and you know she was talking about how she went back on it to for asia's bachelorette party and And she's like, oh, the nicest guy was Cooper. He was so sweet. And I was like, no, no, no, he's not. She's like, really? He seemed like he was such a sweet guy, honey. He fell for it.

8:50Ben Mandelker: Yeah. Well, by the way, shout out to Hannah's new podcast, by the way. Yes. Overshare.

8:55Ronnie Karam: Yeah. Overshare. Yesterday. Yeah. So go check that out. Support Hannah the way she supported our show. yeah and she did make a good point where she said um you know i think anybody is nice as long as they're buying me drinks and i was like okay well that's fair also people can be very

9:14Ben Mandelker: nice in different contexts people can be like wonderful as a friend but as a romantic prospect they're like a monster and it's it's that's a tricky thing to have to sort of untangle you know like if you have just sort of like a surfacy interaction with someone a relationship with someone and they're like fun and nice it's like oh they're nice but if they are like leading some girl on you know it's like well I don't know them in that way like how much like what do I how much do I consider that and how much I like someone it's very tricky um I mean you know it's easy to just sit here and be like oh he just sucks but you know you meet someone in real life you're like oh they seem nice I mean look at all the freaking Bravo stars that we've encountered they're all awful um but we have fun with him so then sandy uh that's true you know it's life is hard it's

10:00Ronnie Karam: complicated yeah and they just met for two you know for one night like two seconds it wasn't it wasn't a thing it's just you know you want people to see through it yeah so the guests are

10:12Ben Mandelker: getting ready for dinner and tonight's theme is uh ski it's an icicle ski theme so i guess what we're saying is some a bunch of people from the abbey are going to be um leaning into snow for uh their dinner theme which seems about right well if you have enough snow you don't even need to eat dinner and they would know just you know if you just really enjoy that theme you know it's

10:39Ronnie Karam: very easy yeah so captain comes out and you mentioned this before but they're working downstairs and she comes out and she's just standing above them looking down like oh this is me. This is me doing something because I've got a sense. So she goes downstairs and she's like, how's it going with Nathan, Joe? How's it going? He's like, well, we work together, but it's tense, but you know, I'm growing. I'm growing, eh? She's like, well, now listen, remember what I said this morning? If there is tension, pretend it didn't happen. It's gone. You know, life is so short. Just talk to each other. Just get it over with.

11:13Ronnie Karam: You know, no matter what somebody does, you just forgive them. I mean, Jesus did it. He had a happy life. They killed him at 30. Really? I never finished that book. God, do they have a movie of that?

11:27Ben Mandelker: Let me tell you something. In recovery, we learn, get it off your chest or whatever you have to do. Resentment builds up. Look, making amends is freedom. So when you cross paths again, there's no weirdness and you move on. It always works out that way. He's like, well, Captain Sandy has a very valid point. I'm carrying a lot of weight with the fucking Nathan situation, and I'm going to do whatever I can to end this and then be maybe a little passive-aggressive and undermining afterwards. But this is either going to help us a little or it's going to make things really fucking bad.

11:59Ronnie Karam: Joe's basically like, I have a chance to be Bosa next season, you know, because Nathan's going to go be busy with this kid. So, okay, I'll go make up with Nathan for the 9 ,000th time this season. So then people are getting dressed for dinner. Joy is showing off all the way she's prepared chicken. And then Joe calls Nathan to the bow for a talk. And he's like, oh, you know, I'm not against you. I respect you. And I respect you've got a family. And this is where Nathan is just like giving him armpits and leaning backwards. that is just not the position of somebody who's giving a fuck about you making them talk to your

12:42Ben Mandelker: pits yeah yeah so joe says this kind of bullshit he's like you know you think that i'm turning people against you and that's just not the case so i'm not going to run on board saying like oh he's fucking horrid or anything like that you have okay you haven't said that exact phrase but you have literally undermined him at every chance that you can get you have poisoned the entire workforce against him and this is not a defense of nathan as a person but like you can't act like you've done nothing and you're sitting here being like oh i haven't blatantly said something like on the nose that you're terrible but you've been a poison he's like that's all i haven't been saying that and actually want you on our nights out and she like that and i'm missing a little thing and that we used to be best mates on so that may be honest like you miss your friend that's fair and ethan's like i just think i'm in a i just think i'm in a different place in my life which is also one of the i was like i'm a dad now i'm mature now i'm like oh god it's time for a commercial it's time for a crap it's commercial fx's american horror story returns for an unrivaled 13th installment with the iconic horrors you love to fear and an all-star cast reprising fan favorite roles.

13:59Ronnie Karam: Light your candles, draw your pentagrams, and prepare for a supreme surprise. FX's American Horror Story 13, now streaming on Hulu. This episode is sponsored by Butterball Turkey. Butterball, care hard, cook easy.

14:15Ben Mandelker: I was watching The Real Housewives of Orange County the other night, and I was thinking so much of this drama could have been solved with turkey. I think that about so many things. Exactly. Just get everyone around the table with a delicious meal. a turkey meal. That's how you bring people back together. What if it wasn't Thanksgiving? Being the Grand Dame isn't a one-day-a-year affair. Every day is a chance to get down with turkey burgers, ground turkey, and more. Eating turkey is like watching Bravo. You can do it anytime, and the more you do it, the happier you are.

14:44Ronnie Karam: Yeah, Butterball Turkey is made for everyday moments that bring people together with ease, and it tastes great while doing it.

14:50Ben Mandelker: Do you think if a Butterball Turkey showed up at the Real Housewives of Rhode Island reunion, it could bring everyone back together? Maybe you would, girly. Maybe you would. I love a turkey.

15:01Ronnie Karam: Butterball simplifies cooking so you can focus on who you're cooking for.

15:05Ben Mandelker: Butterball has turkey made for the way you care, whether you're cooking for your best friend or mending bridges with your frenemy.

15:12Ronnie Karam: Butterball, care hard, cook easy. Yeah, I impregnated somebody and it came out to be like a little baby. So I know more about everything than you. And that's just it. I won. So Joe's like, well, I haven't got a fucking baby that I know of. And I haven't got a fucking family. So that's where I've got to swallow me fucking pride, you know. And you've got a family. I appreciate it. And that's the weight I've got on my shoulder. And Nathan's still armpitting him. He's like, well, thanks for saying that, hey. Yeah. Talk to my daddy armpits. My armpits are dad's.

15:52Ben Mandelker: and if you want to say something i'm not going to go to bed crying or anything like that so now it's your turn to say something that's also superficially you know sounds like it's something deeper than it is and nathan's like well i think i expressed enough you know what i mean because i don't actually hold anything i just say how it is i was like okay neither of you guys are really saying anything and i thought like joe pretending like saying, yeah, so I just, I miss my buddy and, uh, but don't worry. I haven't been turning people against you and, uh, you have a kid now. I get that. So I understand it.

16:24Ben Mandelker: Oh God, it weights off my shoulders. I was like, what are you talking about? You did not get anything off your, there's no, nothing was taken off. Like the rate off your shoulders is that like, I really like you. And I feel like you have this idea of me being like this and I do have resentment and yes, I've had some stuff that I have to work through, but like, I miss my buddy and you know, gala came along like it was so it was just also pat it was such yeah it is and um then nathan

16:52Ronnie Karam: texts gail and tells her that he and joe talked and they decided they're gonna work together and gail's like it's probably for the best so then at dinner um by the way i also want to say that joe

17:03Ben Mandelker: says like i've said me peace and i'm just gonna let this weight go off my shoulders like captain sandy says let's just make this charger special so he's basically like i just did the bare minimum so that way i can tell captain captain sandy i followed her advice and wow i do have a weight off my shoulders you were right captain sandy and i will be your bosun next season yeah he's just

17:25Ronnie Karam: gonna end it looking like the good person so then we go to the dinner table and the guests are like ew this food like what is this lunch it's supposed to be dinner and another one's like oh this steak is chewy. The steak is chewy. Well, I got you new teeth. Yeah, but still, you're right, it is pretty chewy. Alright, I need six pairs of new teeth brought to the boat, stat.

17:47Ben Mandelker: Okay. We're going to be hungry in three hours from now. So, Joy is like, they are eating an insane amount of chicken. How many chickens live in Dubrovnik? I need them all.

18:00Ronnie Karam: This is also where she's serving them gigantic sandwiches and she's running out of chicken, So she puts really thin slices of chicken on these sandwiches. Yeah, it's not great. Eggs are also protein. There's lots of protein. It's not just chicken. Maybe give them drinks that are protein shakes with some vodka in them or something.

18:22Ben Mandelker: That's essentially what winds up happening. But also, why not roast up a few chickens and put out a beautiful display of roasted chicken parts? That would have been a lovely thing to do.

18:33Ronnie Karam: She's out of chicken. I know.

18:36Ben Mandelker: I know. She should have ordered some whole chickens.

18:40Ronnie Karam: Just start taking the neighborhood cats that we always see on this show. Something. Just anything. Just protein, Joy. Do it. So then we go, and Joy's like, oh, I just want to please them. What did you say?

18:52Ben Mandelker: I said, where's Luke when you need him? He knows how to provide some protein.

18:56Ronnie Karam: Oh, God. No kidding. Seriously, go scrape off Nathan's sheets. But Joy's like, oh, they still ought to please them. Listen, Joy, I'm 90 % on your side on this show, but you just served them gigantic sandwiches for dinner. Like, what are you doing over there? And Aisha's like, it is hard. I mean, they're just used to lavish everything. You're on a super yacht.

19:18Ben Mandelker: Come on, guys. And I'm telling you this, they're not used to lavish everything. They just want steak and chicken. Just give them all a filet mignon or a ribeye, you know? so now cat um is talking to her friend ishan and ishan's asking how cooper is and cat's like it's weird like i don't know what's happening between us but like also if he was the right one he would be showing me off and like treating me like a queen and so ishan's like okay well let's make a let's let's do a list of like pros and cons she's like okay he's playing with my feelings that's a con but the pro is that i do like him it's like is that a pro or is it just a fact like that's not counted as a pro yeah i like her honest friend and she of course doesn't listen

20:06Ronnie Karam: she's like okay so you're saying don't get hurt he's like yeah well i'm gonna be honest like he's been waving more red flags like he just conquered a country but unfortunately part of me is still like a little bit optimistic no no no people who treat you like this don't improve this is just a bad treatment of people in general someone who makes you like lifts you up and then hurts your feelings basically on purpose to watch you scramble around and be hurt it's another little it's a joe with a better um a better base personality you know cute yeah i don't like

20:44Ben Mandelker: I don't like this whole he has so many red flags but I really like him guess what so does heroin doesn't mean you should therefore proceed just throw yourself into it there are a lot of things that we probably like but the point is the red flags are there for a reason enormous waves they're probably very exciting to look at but the red flag is there so that way you don't go walking off into them and the wave crashes on you to die okay so like listen to the red flags because guess what you're gonna be crying next episode and we know you are because it's in the previews so either right for like half of these episodes now

21:22Ronnie Karam: at some point it's like come on man and again i've been this person so many times and i'm just like stop walking towards the edge stop and then you just they just go yeah it's just what i tried to

21:34Ben Mandelker: tell you it's just it's too much like and this happens so often i mean if it's not a cat it's melanie and sincere it's everyone on love island quite frankly it's just it's a non-stop thing on every season of below deck every season of every show like well there's like so many red flags but also like i can't help that we have a connection it's like you can connect with other things okay humans are like usb plugs they can go into a lot of ports so don't worry there'll be another option

22:04Ronnie Karam: And nothing's more frustrating than when you have the wrong connector. I mean, it is the worst. And I'm so glad they changed everything to USB-C, but not enough things. And then you're like, well, where's the other USB port? Oh, God, now I need a lightning port. What the fuck? And you're just like throwing everything around the office trying to find the right cord. It's nothing worse, okay? Don't do that with people.

22:32Exactly.

22:32Ben Mandelker: I have to tell you something people feel like the wrong USB standard is it time to say this also that the the conversion to like all USB C happened about three years ago so why is it that like every hotel every public charging area still has old-fashioned USB ports so you got your you've got your cute little USB C plug that you're like yes I've got the universal plug it goes in everything And everything is a fucking old USB port. Okay, it's time to pass some laws to make sure that that gets updated too.

23:08Ronnie Karam: Then they'll change it again. Oh, and also now they made everything USB-C, but then some things are USB-C and some are Thunderbolt and some are high data USB-C. So even though they look like the same cable, they're not the fucking same cable. I hate that. It's like, oh no, you need a high data Thunderbolt thing for this. It just looks just like the USB-C. It's just a cluster.

23:26Ben Mandelker: I hate that, that there are certain things that require a better USB-C, and it's like, I don't – you need to show me. I mean, maybe that was the upside of having different shaped ports because you knew that this was for the fast cable and that was the first slope. But now they all look the same. You plug the wrong cable on the wrong thing, and then things go mad.

23:42Ronnie Karam: It's so crazy, and I'm sorry this Below Deck recap has turned into this. I'm showing you. Look what I have to do.

23:49Ben Mandelker: Ronnie's getting up. For those who are just listening, Ronnie's getting up to show something, and he's coming back soon. I'm excited. Okay. I'm excited.

23:56Ronnie Karam: I have to show you because I just did this in my house. I got a cable, and it was the wrong thing. It needed higher data. So I finally had to get a folder to put my high data cables in, and they say, data, USB-C Thunderbolt. And I had to put them in a separate bag so I'm not running around here cursing out the heavens. I mean, what the hell, USB-C?

24:19Ben Mandelker: You could also get those things that just, like, attach onto the cable. Then you can write. That way you don't have to put it in a cable and into its own bag. But I appreciate the organization of it all.

24:29Ronnie Karam: Well, whatever. Anyway, the point is below deck. And just dump Coop already. He's never going to respect you. He's an asshole. And whoever ends up with him is going to end up with a guy who's – everyone is like, what do you mean he's treating you like shit? He's such a fun guy. We all love him. And then you're like, no, but he's not nice to me. Like, what? He's so nice. And then barbecues. He's like. And he's the most popular guy there when he's really emotionally fucking you over every second of the day because he gets off on watching you cry in some way.

25:01Ben Mandelker: And also like the bullshit with him is that here he is like, oh, I don't like the pressure. I don't like the pressure people asking me about us. Oh, God, we got to keep it secret. Meanwhile, he's up here on social media posting with joy, inviting all the scrutiny of the entire Internet. So that also just goes to show that that was all bullshit that he doesn't. Oh, he doesn't want to deal with the pressure of it all. Please. Yeah.

25:26Ronnie Karam: So then we go to the jacuzzi and everyone's gone to bed and Jen goes to make tequila shots. Well, I think the people haven't gone to the bed. She's hanging out with the guests. Isn't this when they're all in the jacuzzi? There's a lot of people in that jacuzzi.

25:42Ben Mandelker: Yeah, this is – oh, my God. I loved this. At one point, they all start squeezing themselves into the jacuzzi. But there's one guy left. i think it was cory the guy who no one wants to sleep with and like cory's like having some issue with his like bathing suit like his butt comes out everything's like oh and then cory it keeps cutting back it may not happen here but it keeps cutting back with this like process of cory getting into the into the into the jacuzzi and like as he's like about to get in we hear them like cory and then he gets in there like oh they make this like joint like sigh of like congratulations together that I thought was so so funny

26:20Ronnie Karam: oh Corey did it wow poor pathetic car Corey with his dick falling out right in front of everybody well he finally made it into the hot tub so then Tristan gets really gross he's like yeah all my boyfriends have a ring and it comes with GPS tracking so I know where they are at all times you want to be one of my boyfriends Joe I'll put the ring on you you don't have to work anymore we offer a 401k 401k I always say my clothes are cheap and my boyfriends are expensive I'm Tristan CEO of Everything Gay you are a creep you're a creep

26:54Ben Mandelker: I thought I'd be I thought this was a normal seven person polygamous relationship but no that's psychotic so now they're dancing they're having fun

27:04Ronnie Karam: mark my words one of these boys is gonna write a book one day that's gonna be like really a tell all about Tristan

27:12Ben Mandelker: and how gross he was yeah i'm sure i'm sure so then um the guests they're hungry they want some snacks so jim brings out sandwiches and deviled eggs and a fruit plate and they're like we need protein there's no protein here it's like all we need protein which i get their frustration because they requested protein and all they want is protein but there's also part of me that's like you're on a yacht on vacation just live a little bit okay you don't have to have protein with every single meal.

27:41Ronnie Karam: Yeah, but they've had this huge bread for every meal. Every meal so far, she sent out gigantic sandwiches. And it's like, what are you not understanding here? Where I was really shocked was that they were even eating, they were even requesting protein. Because usually when, like we said earlier in the recap, when West Hollywood gays get drunk, it's straight to the carbs. So I was surprised that they were like, oh, we need protein now. It's like, you're not drunk enough. You guys need to be drunker. That's the only reason you're requesting protein.

28:09Ben Mandelker: know and i love that jen's like um this is all we have but i can bring you more protein bars so she brings them all these protein bars they're so happy yes protein bars she's like i i love gay men i was getting along with i was getting along with gay men and they like they they just demand a lot and that's they want a lot and they'll speak their mind and i appreciate the bluntness i don't think that she would appreciate the bluntness if it was aimed her way i'll tell you

28:35Ronnie Karam: that much yeah so it's the next morning joy gets a text from fucking luke has luke even left town luke is so thirsty he's still texting her every day he just wants to come back on tv i don't think

28:47Ben Mandelker: he ever left what do you think no i don't think so either so they have it's time for breakfast which is uh you know filet and tomato and i believe joy made bagels they said it was like Like boat made bagels. I'm like, Joy made those bagels? That's crazy. We saw it earlier in the season that she just like casually made some bread and they stopped focusing on it. But I'm like, bagels are a process. There's like multiple rises. There's like a boiling and a baking. If she made those from scratch on the boat and then she served these bagels to these carb-hating men, I feel like that is such a sad waste.

29:23Ronnie Karam: It really is. It is a sad, sad waste. And so they're like, oh my God, it's still too much bread. this is too much and she's like what are these fucking guys lions oh my god these guys are

29:35Ben Mandelker: fucking lions he's like and then when the guest goes i think it was cory goes what do we want gay rights and also more protein

30:23Ben Mandelker: now i just need the chicken to arrive on the boat and then i'm going to overwhelm them with protein even though the body cannot process that much protein which is her way of saying like you guys are idiots you more protein does not help you you're at your limit yeah now they go to the

30:39Ronnie Karam: beach and snorkel and stuff like that and uh joe and cooper are with them kaylee's also there but joe and cooper they're like oh my god you guys are so hot you guys are so hot meanwhile before the guys go there tristan's like wow this boat is like how the ultra wealthy live on like an outdated penthouse oh god what are we zsa zsa gabor

31:01Ben Mandelker: you watch it you guys are all gonna be an outdated penthouse soon enough

31:05Ronnie Karam: um so you're so close tristan it's just funny it's like you have all these young boyfriends you pay for all these young guys like you basically buy people that are like young and put new teeth in them and then you act like you're one of them just because you can afford them Babe, you were like five steps away from Zsa Zsa. So watch your mouth when you talk about Zsa Zsa.

31:26Ben Mandelker: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Zsa Zsa. Don't bring Zsa Zsa into this. Okay. Commercials. Here comes one right now.

31:40Ronnie Karam: This episode is sponsored by Butterball Turkey. Butterball. Care hard. Cook easy.

31:46Ben Mandelker: I was watching The Real Housewives of Orange County the other night, and I was thinking so much of this drama could have been solved with turkey. I think that about so many things. Exactly. Just get everyone around the table with a delicious meal, a turkey meal. That's how you bring people back together. What if it wasn't Thanksgiving? Being the Grand Dame isn't a one-day-a-year affair. Every day is a chance to get down with turkey burgers, ground turkey, and more. Eating turkey is like watching Bravo. You can do it anytime, and the more you do it, the happier you are.

32:16Ronnie Karam: Yeah, Butterball Turkey is made for everyday moments that bring people together with ease, and it tastes great while doing it.

32:22Ben Mandelker: Do you think if a Butterball Turkey showed up at the Real Housewives of Rhode Island reunion, it could bring everyone back together? Maybe it would, girly. Maybe it would. I love a turkey.

32:33Ronnie Karam: Butterball simplifies cooking so you can focus on who you're cooking for.

32:37Ben Mandelker: Butterball has turkey made for the way you care, whether you're cooking for your best friend or mending bridges with your frenemy. Butterball. Care hard, cook easy.

33:24so it's just like how are you yeah how are you and she's like honestly it really wasn't that bad

33:31Ben Mandelker: last night gays love me she's like oh well it's so good having you on nice this channel because i feel like you deal with him so well and jen tells us this feels so good like now i'm getting the recognition I deserve. Like, honestly, when it comes to elevating guest experiences, I'm that bitch. I'm the best. Sorry.

33:52Ronnie Karam: I'm that girl. So now the guests are all drooling over Coop and Joe. And Joe's like, well, this isn't the first time a gaggle of men have asked me to put on a speeder. We've all got our skill sets. And they're like, we'll give you$1 ,000 to do body shots off Coop and Joe. I'm like, sure. And they're like, licking them up and down doing the body shots yeah and um joe sweaty is like giggling and joe

34:21Ben Mandelker: i know coop is giggling he's like um and so uh everyone's being silly and everyone's having fun joe goes in they're like oh my god joe you have to save cory he's drowning so joe is like in a speedo and he like does this like baywatch dive off of the boat but unfortunately he forgot that he's in shallow rocky water and his head crashes into a rock which is actually incredibly scary and his he comes up bleeding he's like i'm bleeding oh god i dive straight into a rock and i got my face open this is not a good look is it yeah um and so now they have to go back to

34:58Ronnie Karam: tend to joe's face and um then we go to the galley and luke sends joy a video message now Oh, my God, gee, I wonder if you want something. Oh, I just got home from a lovely dinner, and there were some delicious vegetables on the plate, and it made me think of you. I hope you're having a wonderful almost end of charter. Ciao.

35:23Ronnie Karam: Clearly using this check for screen time. I mean, this guy. It's just like clearly using.

35:29Ben Mandelker: He is just bad news all the way around. I do not trust this man and it makes me sad that that joy is totally falling for it so the guests return and Then Asia and Sandy have a very nice scene Asia presents Sandy with like a little Necklace it's a gift to celebrate 36 years sober and also an anchor and so Sandy starts reflecting on being clean and talking about what her life was like and she starts getting choked up and it's very nice, it's very moving and then it segues into Aisha talking about how her mom is an alcoholic and how growing up there was a lot of uncertainty and fear and apprehension and it's just two very honest moments about something very serious in an otherwise frivolous episode so it was a lovely little moment here

36:26Ronnie Karam: God, there's a lot of heavy stuff in this one because then there was Joe's dad, too. There's a lot of heavy stuff in this episode. So then Jen is like, oh, my God, Joy. Hi, it's me, gay icon Jen. Yeah. Just wanted to offer to help wash your dishes because I'm a good person now. I mean, if you guys would have told me two days ago that I was offering to help dishes for Joy, I would have been like, what are you talking about? But you know what? Like, I'm even staring at the Luke flowers right in front of my face. and it doesn't even bother me at all. It's me. It's new Jen.

37:01Ben Mandelker: Wow, Jen, you are a national hero. You were able to wash dishes in the presence of flowers that were given to joy by a man that you once slept with. How do you do it? How do you do it? Yeah.

37:14Ronnie Karam: It's a big one. So then Tristan on the main deck is telling Aisha that he's invited Caitlin. That's my flight attendant. Yeah. I've joined her to I've invited her to join us for the rest of the charter. I mean, she's pretty. She's young, a terrible flight attendant, but she's pretty fun. You know, we just need a girl that's fun with the gays. Wait a minute. Did I not? Did you not see me holding a basket of protein bars? Gays love me!

37:42Ben Mandelker: I'm assuming the flight attendant is the drag queen. I'm just going to put that out there. So then, now they decide, the guests are like, you know what we should do? Let's go on the water slide. So they're like, yeah, let's do it, you know? so Tristan goes down first and then Vitor they're all like sort of like running getting on it and then Vitor now it's Vitor's time and he goes running up he's just like he's this like triangle shaped muscle man and he goes running up all excited and he goes up the little staircase to go like fling himself down down the slide and boom his forehead he clips the top of the deck and he's like a boom he gets thrown back and it's it's uh it it was definitely like I winced I was I mean, I giggled because it was slapstick.

38:27Ben Mandelker: And then I winced. But man. Well, the best part is that he's like, oh, my God. Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding? He's like, I'm bleeding.

38:35Ronnie Karam: I don't know. Go to the bathroom. So he goes to the bathroom. And then he comes running back at it. He's like, I'm bleeding. And I get the horror because, like, you're basically Tristan. You're a product. You know what I mean at this point? much interest and is like, Captain Sandy, could we have a replacement? We've got a broken noob, so we're going to need to replace him. I don't want to look at him. He's broken.

39:03Ben Mandelker: Yeah, seriously. And it's scary, but also the way he's like, I am bleeding. It was just like the panic in his face and his eyes, but also like, oh my God, oh my God, where's mom? So he is actually bleeding quite a bit. And there's blood on the slide and there's blood on the deck. There's blood everywhere. It's not good. And Massey is like, how do we keep injuring the guests? First we broke my lady's shoulders. And then now this guy popped his head open. Two in a row. This is giving Final Destination vibes.

39:37Ronnie Karam: Yeah, I think it's even scarier than Final Destination. Because I think for the first time, this guy is actually having to think of like, what if I have to get like a job? what if i'm not pretty anymore yeah exactly okay did it yeah so um they're like oh my god get the medic and captain sandy's attitude through this was cracking me up because she can't really hide stuff on her face like her face doesn't move a ton but she was just like oh yeah all right i'll call a medic um medic we've got a uh a screaming gay please just get here just just get here It's going to be.

40:13Ben Mandelker: It's bad. We are playing Dan Soteria to calm him down, but we're not sure how long it can last. Okay? He did say he wasn't sure who Madonna was.

40:25Ronnie Karam: So I was like, oh my god, the medic's here. He's like a sexy teacher. Like, I could do that. He was like, hot enough. Like, if I had a teacher, do I look okay? Do I look okay? So the medic comes on, and this guy's like, am I dying? He's like, no, you're not dying. But it's very serious. Is this serious? Am I still pretty? And he's like, they're there. Now we're just going to do some very, we're going to have you sit down over here. We're going to put a very serious little band-aid on your head. He's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, God, it was the carbs. I knew I shouldn't have had the carbs.

41:01We would have been stronger if we had more protein.

41:07Ben Mandelker: So he's okay. And they're like, yeah, do you want to go lie down? He's like, I want to go lie down. So he goes off, which, by the way, he's about ten times more composed than I would have been. I would have been like, oh, my God, get me to the hospital right away. I think my skull is fractured.

41:21Ronnie Karam: So – Well, just the juxtaposition of this guy on the slide and Joe just, like, jamming himself into a rock and being like, I'm fine. Face first. I'm fine. Like, blood's coming down his face. And he's like, oh, I'm doing fine, everybody. You still want to do body shots off of me?

41:39Ben Mandelker: and then um this guy eddie goes up to coop and he's like hey we want to share you too he's like oh well if only i swang that way he's like you don't he's like no just for joe

41:53Ronnie Karam: what he said just for joe that shit was funny so then uh joe gets a text from luke and he's like call me mate it's very important listen i'm in croatia i want to surprise joy so you guys are absolutely going out for your little last hurrah. Tell me where you guys are so I can try to keep it. I want to creep in. Absolutely. I knew it. I knew you were still there. I knew it too. He's been just coming all over, you know, the Game of Thrones tourist spots. You know, he's like just going in there, sploothing all over like Cersei's cave.

42:25Ben Mandelker: And then the shame path. Although he did say he was flying into Dubrovnik in a text earlier this week. By the way, can I say something before this? Cause this episode is about to wrap up, but I almost forgot to mention this when we talked about Joe at the dinner the night before turning halfway and being passive aggressive let's not also forget that Joe had that moment where he was like Cooper is the best person I've ever been a roomie with he's truly like an older people I've ever been roommates with he is absolutely the very best he is the one who's been the kindest best person of all time that was pretty that was a nasty thing to do right there and he knew what he was doing and that definitely set the tone for the later confrontation So let's not forget that moment.

43:05Ben Mandelker: I'm just retroactively.

43:06Ronnie Karam: I need to get that. They're both fucking horrible. They're both fucking horrible. So anyway, Joe and Joe and Nathan both fucking suck. What are you going to do?

43:15Ben Mandelker: Yes. So either way, Luke is going to come, come surprise, surprise joy. And Joe's like, I know how much Luke cared for joy. How sad he was to leave her. I'm like, did he care for joy? Because last time I checked, the person that he fucked was Jen. So maybe we should rewind that tape a little bit. you know whatever all right this show this great season this is the time and it has been a great

43:40Ronnie Karam: season but i'm also like okay wrap it up it's this goes on for a long time this show i mean 18 episodes 18 episodes but i feel like this season every episode there's been something

43:51Ben Mandelker: significant that's happened and honestly i think last season of down under was phenomenal and so i feel like between that and this we've had like 36 weeks of top tier below deck which is what we

44:03Ronnie Karam: do because i i know that you didn't like the one with the uh selene's and all that so late i know you didn't like that one i thought that was pretty decent yeah so for me it's been like a pretty solid um a pretty solid run for below deck it's a good one yeah it's a classic i think yeah we're

44:21Ben Mandelker: i think we're in the middle of a great stretch and now it's up to below deck to keep it going because now Classic Blow Deck is up in two weeks.
