Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Deckheads, a production of IR Radio. Welcome to

bottom of the boat below below deck whoa, I'm horny,
all ya talk all the time. I'm having a party.
(00:21):
We're shoveling cold to keep this show upfloat. I love cocaine.
We're off the map in international waters. I need some trama.
Me hide that cocaine. Never in my nose. Should see
you know I'm in an open relationship below deck Deckheads. Hey, guys,
(00:49):
it's Anna. I'm here to one cover the reunion and
also tell you guys some interesting spinoff news. That's right,
it's happened, baby, Deckheads. The podcast is ending, but don't worry.
Exciting stuff to come. So I'm gonna bring my guests
in for today's episode. Who has obviously been on the
(01:09):
show a hundred times, a hundred times since whatever, three
or four times whatever, a hundred thousand times she's been
on the show. It's Molly Lambert. Hello, thank you for
joining me on this fabulous episode. Thank you for having me.
I've been talking like Asha. Oh wait, because you've been
(01:30):
sending me her Instagram. Okay, to give some context, I
just like in quarantine in New Zealand before she gets
like let out. I guess they have to quarantine for
fourteen days in some hotel. And just every day she's like,
oh my god over everything New Zealand is doing because
she's so impressed by them, and it just kills me.
(01:52):
I love it. I get there to watch it every morning,
so I'm like I need to know what I was
just happy about, and then it makes me happy. It's
very uplifting and make you wish you lived in New Zealand.
I know, I know. She's like, end today they sent
me a riddle and you're like, I don't know. It
sounds like they really take care of them. Does the
New Zealand government send you a riddle? It's like in
(02:14):
this info packet she gets every day, it's just like,
imagine what's happening. Imagine like competence. I don't know how
the American government sends us a riddle, but it's like
the riddle is how do you get vaccinated? Yeah? Yeah,
they're like, good luck surviving. Riddle me this America. What
(02:40):
has three spikes and not enough doses? I know what's
just gonna kill you in the end. Anyway America. It's
even coronavirus. It's just like America is going to kill you,
because who cares. They're not sending us a nice packet
every day with like some fun jokes or just even
(03:02):
like any info. There's no like every email I get
from my doctor is like, so, what's up with you? Yeah?
I know technically we are we do have to go
ahead to start vaccinating this group of people, but uh,
we don't have vaccines, so what's up with you? And
(03:22):
it's like thank you for the update. That didn't really
update me on anything. No, my friend will send me
a thing that's just like oh. And then they just
like threw two million vaccines away for no reason. It's
like cool cool cool, Yeah. And theny of the l
A Times being like these millennial vaccine chasers and it's like, yeah,
this is this is the hill you should die on.
L A Times. Yeah. That's the problem is that the
(03:45):
system is so corrupt that people can easily hack it
because it's so broken and racist, and that on top
of that's like the system is so corrupt that like
millennials are like, well fuck it, I'll go wait in
line for nine hours and maybe I'll get a because
you're going to throw it away anyway, Okay, fine, whatever.
It's like we're all just kind of like, what what
(04:06):
other option do we have other than to like just,
I don't know, wake up at four in the morning
and stand in the rain. I was stressed out when
my parents. My parents got it, thank thankfully, but like
that was the most stressful thing to me. I was
just thinking about people trying to like book it for
their parents, and there's like this incredibly complicated labyrinth of
(04:28):
online sign ups. My dad has gotten his first shot,
which is good, and obviously has an appointment for a
second one. My mom isn't getting it yet because she's
like on antibiotics, so she can't get it yet because
she has some gnarly ear infection or something. Or another
man my friend had an appointment for a second shot,
(04:48):
and then the winter storm made the vaccines be delayed,
so they were like, we can't give anyone their second
shots because they're all stuck in like Michigan or whatever
in the snow. Just just a cluster fuck of amazing proportions,
which is why all the people on blow deck pivot
(05:11):
to below deck. Uh. I didn't really want to seem
to go back to land life. No, no, no, no,
are you right? This is the podcast? Oh yeah, you're right.
I forget what we're talking about. Why are we here? Okay, guys,
we are here because when we're gonna talk about the
reunion of season eight. But also we have an announcement
we Molly and I. There's reasons she's here. She's not
(05:32):
just here to big ups me while I tell you
this announcement. But we are going to do a Deckheads
spinoff entitled Deckheads Chief Stews. But we're gonna do it
every Tuesday night on Twitch you guys, Twitch the streaming service.
That's right, and perhaps we'll even be at sea, yes
(05:54):
when when you see us, Yes, so you will physically
be able to watch us talk about this show every
Tuesday night. We're going to transition the socials the at
Deckheads Pod to give you information about when and where
you can watch a stream. There will be a link.
Don't worry that you can click and then you'll very
(06:16):
easily just be able to watch us. And if you
can't watch us in real time, don't worry because all
the videos save on our page and you'll be able
to watch it. Later and if you don't want to
watch it, you can just put it on and listen
to it like a podcast. So many options. And we're
going to be covering the new season of Below Deck
(06:38):
that is itself the most recent blowdeck spinoff sailing yacht.
So we'll be below Deck Chief Stoos covering Below Deck
sailing to spinoffs. And I'm excited because this new season
of sailing looks real fun. I love how much sailing
is involved with the sailing yacht. It is also it
(07:01):
also looks like real ships about to happen. What do
you mean like? It looks actually like dramatic and crazy
like they you know, we always get these like oh no,
how's this docking gonna go? And then it's fine. It
looks like the actually want why crash the boat into
the dock, which is like what I've been waiting for.
(07:23):
It honestly seems like there's so much higher of a
chance of crashing the boat with the sailing yacht because
it's a sailboat. That that checks out to me. It
seems like like the wind just you know, does what
it wants to a sailboat. Yeah, it's always the wind there,
Like it's so windy, Oh my god, what's gonna happen?
(07:43):
And then it's you know, why not. There's more of
an emphasis in that one on just how crazy sailing is,
and um, just the idea of like taking on the
ocean with the machine is like insane. It is because
you turn the yeah, you turn the inche off, and
you're like sales all up, all right, let's see where
it takes us, and it's like, seems cool. I would
(08:06):
love to do it. Let's learn to sail. Yeah, honestly,
I would enjoy sailing as well. One time I was
on a sailboat and I had an edible and it
was very uncomfortable because I was too high. That sounds
like a nightmare. It was. It was not great. I'll
just tell you that I thought, I think I almost
(08:28):
dropped my diet coke into the water because I just
was not ready for the sale. Uh, full confession. I
get a little seasick on boats. But that won't be
a problem on our Twitch boat. No, no, no, no,
because we we will have twitch dramamine, I think, right,
(08:49):
So that's our big announcement. We're moving a twitch baby.
The podcast will be no longer will be Molly and
I just talking decks. But we'll be the chief stews
of this twitch to spin offs, right, it's a spinoff,
al right, so let's get into this reunion. Okay, it
(09:09):
is season eight, episode seventeen, technically the reunion of season eight.
You know, it's interesting because like I kind of miss
that them all being there in person. Yeah, I was
surprised because all the other reunions have been doing for
Housewives have been in person, which is so weird because
they're like not wearing masks and allegedly everyone's tested. But
(09:34):
those have all been in New York in the studio,
So I think I just assumed this would be in
a studio. And then it was a zoom reunion once again,
treating Below Deck like the bastard child of Bravo even
though it's like the most popular show. That's interesting because
I do feel like they love the Housewives so much more. Well,
(09:56):
now that I'm thinking about it, it was probably just
entirely practical because everybody was in a different country. Oh,
you're right, you're right, and a lot of people were
in serious quarantine because they've been coming out of yachts.
That's valid. So that was like my favorite thing when
they introduced it was that they were like New Zealand, Australia, America, Italy,
(10:20):
like it's four am for some people. That added a
fun cookie And yeah, I think a lot of them
were at their homes quarantining after being at sea. It's
it's a tough life out there, man, except for you
just were on a boat, so maybe it's not that
tough alright. So yeah, we starts the reunion. Captain Lee
(10:42):
is wearing tinted sunglasses. That's a choice. They might just
be tinted regular glasses, that's true. I was thinking about
it the whole time. I was like, are they transitions? Yeah,
I I don't know. That's a good question. He seems
like a guy who could rock some trans missions glasses.
(11:02):
I liked them. I was into it. I thought it
was I had never seen him wear anything like that,
and it's like I felt like Mary Anne got him
for him, his his lovely bride and was like, honey,
this is the new you. Your cool Captain Lee tinted
sonnies cool guy? What him on? See? I thought that
was just like because he's so like seventies yacht rock
(11:22):
to me that I was just like, oh, these are
like his cool glasses he wears at home when he's
kicking back, and they like that. Captain Lee rock Well.
I loved seeing everybody's apartment. I know, I feel like
a lot of them like are in hotels. I don't
know why, but I always looks so probably Bravo was like,
go to a hotel, don't pay for it. No, I
(11:44):
don't know. I thought they all just lived in weird
like modernist cubicle apartments with plants like everybody else. Yeah. Also,
did you know it's like the women like really get
their makeup done, like they go all out. We can
talk about this more, but Elizabeth was wearing so much
makeup that she was not fully recognizable. Yeah, I feel
(12:06):
like that from what my what I remember in past
Nians everyone, I think they like hire a whole team
because they're like, this is my chance to like glow up.
But then it's always like they all have like very
intense eyelashes on, like yeah, guyelashes. Yeah, I mean that's
like professional makeup is just throwing on some like giant eyelashes, right,
(12:28):
so you look like a Disney princess. I thought that
Rachel actually looked amazing. It was great. She did look great.
Lindsay looked unrecognizable because she was wearing so much makeup
that you couldn't see her face under it almost, and
she was wearing this kind of like I don't know
(12:49):
if the foundation was the wrong shade or if it
was the lighting or a combination of the two, but
it was like she almost looked like she was like
a Simpson. Yes, Rachel looked. Rachel looked great. I thought, yeah,
I thought she looked. She legitimately looked like, oh she
got some makeup done and she looks really hot, but
not like it didn't look crazy. Sometimes they look a
(13:12):
little crazy. Yeah, all right, let's get into it. So
Francesco's joining them from Sydney and it's four am. Rachel's
in Italy and quarantine, Elizabeth's in Fort Lauderdale. James is
in the UK in some town. I didn't really understand.
What he said is he's in New Zealand and he
didn't want to give me an exact location because he
didn't want Elizabeth to know where he is. Is that
(13:35):
what he said? I come to make sense. He's like, uh, yeah,
don't worry about it. You're like, oh, okay, He's like,
I'm infus. That's what it sounded like. He said, though
he was like murder from I was like, where where
are you? Sir? Who know? Its hard to say? So
(13:58):
is he's in New Zealand as slings in Australia to
Shane Joins from San Diego and we learned that Rob
Gold Rob is not there because he's in Fiji digging
for gold, and then he is he is not feeling robbed.
She literally says she doesn't think Rob wanted to be
on the show because he's weird and he was really
(14:19):
rude to the production and didn't really want to be filmed,
and he wouldn't talk whenever there was a camera around,
and he would just be an asshole. And she's like,
I think he's weak, And I'm like, wow, that's what
happens when you don't show up. Uh? Is he does
not like Rob? Do you get the vibe? I think
(14:39):
it was mutual. We didn't get to talk about this,
but when he tipped off on the finale, that is
he wanted to talk to him and he came over
and did that whole like, hey, is he I've been
meaning to talk to you before I go I hope
I didn't come off as an asshole to you. Oh yeah?
And he he was so fake when he did it.
He was like sorry if he's out that way, by like,
(15:02):
I don't think you really mean it at all. And
he was like, who can say see you later? Who
can say all right? By? Yeah? I I did not
care for that. I found it creepy. It was almost
worse than not apologizing because it was like the fakest
apology I've ever seen. And she kind of didn't accept it,
and he was like, well, I've done all I can
(15:24):
by forever, I've done all I can't all right, see you? Yeah?
That was miserable. All right. Shane, who's there for like
five minutes, says he regrets nothing, and he says he
gave it his all when he was on the boat,
but just didn't realize how much hard work it would
take to be on a yacht until he stepped on
(15:44):
the boat and the end capt Eric captainly and he's
like did you google it? And he's like, I took
a maritime course. I'm like that should teach you, right, Yeah, Sunshine, Sunshane,
Shane Sunshine. Um, he came off better than I thought.
Because the edit on the show made him look like
(16:06):
such a dumbass. And uh then when they talked to
him him, he was like, yeah, I obviously know that
yachts are like not good for the environment. Yeah, nevertheless,
I wished to bring my message of ecology and peace
to the television. And then somebody said something nice about
(16:27):
him where they were like, oh, yeah, he told us
not to take things from a protected habitat, which like
I didn't know we weren't allowed to do. You know,
that was actually pretty cool. I was like into that.
I was like good for him for knowing being like
good for him. And I was also like, think of
all the other times they've been like take as many
shells as you want, probably like yacht people, I know
(16:49):
that's actually true. I know, yeah, it's not great for them,
especially probably in Fiji when they did go there and
there was so much whole thing. I'm sure they're like
colonized nature. Like if you have enough money, who cares, right,
you can pay the fine. So Captain or Not keep
saying captainly Andy Cohen asks you can call him Captain Andy,
(17:13):
and Captain I'm gonna call Captain Cohen because he's the
captain of this reunion, but he asks Shane a question
about if he thought that it was too harsh how
Eddie called him an idiot or whatever stupid, and Shane's
all cranky and he's like, if these are all gonna
be questions where they're like roasting me that, I'm like
(17:35):
literally going to log off, and then Cohen's like, Andy Cohen.
Andy Cohen's like, I mean it sounds like the question
is actually like defending you, but okay, and he's like,
I don't think Shane stupid, and then he apologizes to
him for calling him that, and Shane's like, I hold
no grudges towards anyone. Yeah, He's like, if you guys
(17:56):
are just gonna be roasting me, and somebody was like,
were her to roast everybody? It's a roast? I know
that's James literally goes like I love this. This is
like a roast of below Deck and he's like, hey,
I tried to Warren Shane. I told him not to
go take a nap, probably get in trouble. Okay, so
no big and then Shane's like I didn't realize, Like
(18:18):
I totally realize yawning industry is not sustainable and that's
when he's like, I did actually learn a lot about
from Shane. And then they kicked Shane off the show
because he's boring and his parting words are stay sustainable
and he does the peace sign. He's he is who
(18:39):
he is. Yeah, he literally is who he is. There's
there's nothing more there. Rachel says that quitting wasn't anything
against the crew members, and she was dealing with everything
going on in the world and the demands of this
charter that was coming on was too much and she
didn't want to like funk it all up and destroy
her career on TV, which why she ended up quitting
(19:01):
and being like eat my coot or Captain Lee. She
also says that she kind of breaks the fourth wall
and says that coronavirus was obviously like becoming a big
problem right at that point, and so she was freaking
out about whether or not she'd be able to like
get back into a country. I don't know if it
was Italy to see her boyfriend Vincenzo or America, but
(19:25):
she was like, yeah, it just occurred to me like
if I didn't leave now, I might not be able
to get back, right, Yeah, I mean, she has a point.
She it's more than just somebody throwing a tantrum because
the guests are too annoying, which also then everybody was like,
she was right. They had too many crazy demands, which
(19:48):
they never say because the whole thing is like anything
you want. They were like crab legs for breakfast, lunch
and dinner or whatever it was they put down. Yeah,
and if I crawled correctly, those people like they didn't
turn out to be very high maintenance in the end. No,
it turned out to be fine, and Rachel did an
amazing job, and she and Eddie like Eddie was very
(20:11):
incensed by her lack of professionalism. But then on the
reunion they're like, did she prove herself when she came back,
And He's like, yes, immediately, Yeah, because she's a fucking baller. Dude, Yeah, dude,
because she's a fucking professional yacht chef. When she says
eat her couter, she means a delicious twelve course meal
(20:33):
that she made Roscoe. I know I would eat her
food in a second, So yeah, Eddie's like, I was
upset that she didn't apologize to anyone when she came back,
but she's amazing chef, thank you. Yeah, but you can't
funk with her her preparation and plating. No, no, no no. Also,
(20:53):
just like everything she comes up with, it's just like
so interesting and looks delicious. Yeah, all the chefs are
a pain in the ass. On the spectrum of paint
in the ash chefs, she ranks pretty low. Actually yeah,
because she also kills it, so it's like it outweighs.
How much of a pain in the ash shoes? I think,
(21:13):
I think, but who knows? Um, Well, all the chefs
are divas, I think because they're like yeasts. Yeah, yeah,
they're chefs. Come on, they paint, they paint with food.
Oh yes, I love that they paint with food. I
love that. I love everything about that. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
well Frances, because like, I don't think my team had
(21:36):
a hard time working with Rachel in the communication may
have been slow at first, but then we all figured
it out, and Andy Cohen's like, were you I feel
like I was watching a different show because you guys
were still mad at each other at the end and
they're like and like don't really respond to that, And
I was like, what weird? Because I was like, huh,
everybody's really getting long. And then it took a turn
(21:58):
in the second half where the tensions came back out. Yeah,
I mean like literally, like was it maybe the maybe
it was the last episode Rachel was like complaining to
Captain Lee about Francesca. She hates Francesca, I think, but
I think they did maintain a sort of like mutual
(22:18):
distance of like, Okay, you're a crazy bee and I'm
a crazy bee, but you don't have to interact that much. Yeah.
I've held a grudge forever over the Mahi mahimah he thing. Oh,
I was annoying. She shouldn't have written two on one line.
I think about it like every day. I would be
so mad if I got in trouble for that, because
(22:41):
you could just argue it forever. And it was just
crazy to me that Francesca was like, no, this is
the normal way to write it is to write mahimah
he twice on one line, meaning to mahimah he's that
ain't right, she funked up. That's not how you're right.
You gotta make it as clear as possible. You're chef
is working hard and quick and uh, she ain't got
(23:04):
time for this. Francesca's Rachel. So why would you ever
want Rachel on your bad side? She seems like she
would literally put a pillow over your head, your room together, dangerous. Sorry,
let's take a quick commercial break and we'll be right
back after this to continue talking about this reunion. And
(23:28):
we're back. They're talking about Rachel's drinking and she says
she's a wild stallion, unbridled, and Eddie's like, yeah, you know,
we're mostly letting her have fun and blowoff steam. But
he basically says he doesn't never he didn't really ever
confront her about her drinking because he said that he
was just basically afraid of setting her off. Yeah. The
way Eddie talks about Rachel is crazy. It's like he's
(23:51):
afraid of her. He is afraid of her. He's hand
percent afraid of her. Um. It kind of reminded me
of some of the stuff on The Southern Charm this
past season two, where it's like he's got this kind
of like genteel southern growing where he's just like whoa, whoa,
this is unladylike, I yes, he's from like what Baltimore. Yeah,
I'm sure he's raised where it's like women need to
(24:12):
be It's like an East Coast his whole like, yeah,
don't be too loud thing. It's like it's your day off.
She's not doing it at work, although she obviously does
sometimes yell expletives at work. Well, he says that it's
fine until she's like fucking with other crew members time
(24:33):
or like enjoyment, and then I think it was just
him though I think he was like, I don't like this,
everyone else should also not like it. But I guess
also I was just like they've paid everybody at this
beach bar to be in the show. Probably so I
didn't feel bad that she was like jumping on stage
(24:53):
with the band because I was like, hopefully this band
got paid for this. The band seemed like they were
they suffered no fools, like they were just staring at her,
like I just felt like she can't be the first
drunk person to get up on that get up on
that cavana stage. Not at all. She has Definitely, I
think they look like they dealt with this ship all that.
(25:14):
That's what I'm saying. They seemed like pros and they
didn't seem angry or faced by it. But Eddie was
like whoa, whoa, she can't do that, and he was
also ship faced. Yeah I do. I'll never forget google it.
Let's go, never forget God beautiful, she is great TV.
But yeah, she wasn't drinking at work. She was just
(25:37):
drinking on their night off when they all get shitty drunk,
it's the whole point. And she was like bummed because
her boyfriend was stuck in Italy and things were like
popping off. She just wasn't doing Yeah, she wasn't doing well.
We heard some info about her relationship with Vincenzo. That's
for Vincenzo on her are no more, no more in
(26:00):
Genzo vinchenso why that's also why she looks so good
a three man. She had to stick it to Vincenzo. Yeah,
she basically said that Vincenzo didn't want her to go
on the show, and then like after court, after she
left the boat, they couldn't see each other for five months.
So that basically fucked the relationship up and took a toll.
(26:25):
And there are no morl It sounds like he wasn't
worth maybe leaving your job for Yeah, but had she
had left her job sooner, I think she probably would
have been able to get to him and maybe might
have still broken up. Though that's true, you never know
with Vincent, that's crazy anyway. So Rachel's like, hey, Heed,
(26:51):
he should have just came and talk to me. Man,
I really respect you, and he's like, I respect you too,
and I'm like, there was no way they were They
would have respected each other in the moment though. But
then she also said that Captain Lee comparing her to
his son really made an impact on her life, because
I believe he said, like it's it's shitty to see
someone with such great talent like throw it away over
something like drinking. I mean, to be fair, he was
(27:14):
comparing everything this season to the situation with his son
because he's clearly screaming and in a lot of trauma
and trying to make it go away by getting back
out on the sea. But it's not gonna help. Can't
sail away from your your trauma. Yeah, I'm glad it did. Uh.
(27:34):
It was a wake up call for Rachel though, So hey,
whatever works, you know from you know Rachel. What Rachel
does drink a lot and then she's like, I don't
get hangovers, and I'm like, that's she's a chef. Yeah,
they I guess it's true. They can put it down.
They can put it down. I've read Kitchen Confidential ry.
They can put it down. Or they're sober because they
(27:56):
can put it down, because they put it down a
little too much. Yeah. Well, James says, he fills in
his eyebrows, and why is everyone making such a big
deal about it. He's not the only guy who feels
in his eyebrows. And that was funny because like Andy
Cohen was like, I'm pretty sure you are, and it
was like, Andy Cohen, you are wearing a full face
of TV makeup. And Kathleen's like, I've never filled in
(28:17):
my eyebrows and James is like you should. I was
like bad. I enjoyed that, me too. God him good. Yeah.
James says he doesn't think he misled Elizabeth and thought
they were on the same page, but clearly she liked
him more and he maybe he should have said something
(28:40):
and I'm like, no, ship you idiot. Oh yeah, and
now he's ready to talk about that. Oh yeah. Turns
out except he was actively being like no, I don't
think I don't want to. Well, it must have been
horrifying for for Elizabeth to see the season because she
was like, I didn't know you, Like I hated my
(29:00):
guts because every time he talks to anyone else he's
like Elizabeth. Yeah, and he's like, I'm I'm being shitty
to her on purpose because she didn't defend me to Rachel.
God forbid you say that to her face. Yeah, he's
such an asshole. And then he's like, but clearly we
both knew it wasn't going to go anywhere off the boat,
and she's kind of like, well, I didn't know that,
(29:21):
And then you feel bad for her again because she
should know. He wasn't even trying to get with her
on the boat, let alone after the boat. Yeah, that
was rough. It was like like very like we can
make out after school, but nobody can see me with
(29:41):
you in the hallway exactly, like don't hold my hand,
like geez, Like it's okay. I think everybody knows you're
just sucking on a boat. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and so
Jam says he knew they shouldn't go into a guest
cabin and he's like, I told Elizabeth we shouldn't do it.
That was crazy. He tried to throw her under the bus.
(30:02):
And be like it was her idea and she's like,
I'm pretty sure it is your idea. Yeah. She was
like you invited me and he's like, oh, like he
so obviously got caught and was just like he and
then it was like and he just got a slap
on the wrist and she got booted and everybody was like, well,
she was going to get booted for something anyway, but
it's like Francesca had it out for her. She still
(30:25):
got bitched out by Francesca and what Captain Lee was
just like, don't do that again. James, He's like Okay.
Then he was like, well, it was worth it anyway. Whatever, boy,
it's I got to have all the sex with no
responsibility and get my bonus. At the end of the
charter and Elizabeth says they had been drinking and they
(30:46):
knew they shouldn't have gone without permission, but whatever. I
until they were like, oh, what if we had asked?
And then they were like, then we probably would have
fired you for asking. Yeah. Yeah. And then Ash, god,
Ash really is grinding my gears because she just jumps
she was the villain. She jumps in and like adds
(31:07):
information that is like you don't need to, like, she goes, well,
you know, I just want to say, and it's like, why,
I just want to say. It takes two to tango. Yeah,
they were too ash and Francesca were doing a full
mean Girls on Elizabeth, which is like the only reason
I feel compelled to defend Elizabeth because she's obviously not
(31:28):
good at her job, but the way they treated her
was just so mean. And then they just deny it.
Then they're just like, oh, no, we didn't do it.
We didn't like, we didn't gossip about her and talk
to it about her constantly and like make fun of
her and call her like a loser and a waste
of space. And then and then they show when they
(31:49):
did that. Yeah, they're like, we didn't do anything to you.
You were just bad at your job. We just proceeded
to like talk ship to you about you all the
time about how bad you were at your job. We
just called you a lost call cause on the Andy
Cohen Show. And then she's like, I can't believe you
called me a lost cause. She's like, oh, well, that's
just I was. That's what they put the question as
(32:10):
I was just quoting it back. It's not my fault
that they called you a lost cause, but I mean
you are a lost cause. We all agree that you're
a lost cause. Yeah. Every time Ashley jumped in it
was unnecessary. It was like, but you didn't do anything
this season other than like talk shit about Elizabeth to Francesca.
You don't really need to be at this reunion because
there's literally no questions for you by I didn't care
(32:33):
for her. No, But it's like Francesca is the Regina
George and then needs her. Ashley is the Lacy ship
Bear character. She's like, you need her to do your
little dirty work. Yeah, so that you can keep looking
like the Chiefs too. That's not trying to undermine her
own crew. Yeah, that was bad. James says hooking up
(32:55):
in the cabin was worth it anyway, so whatever. Yeah,
James is like, it was all worth it. Everything I
did that sucked, I don't regret it. Yeah. And then
he's like, what do people expect for me when Elizabeth
got fired? And everyone's like compassion and he's like okay, sure.
He's like it's like I was happy, and then they're
like show him being happy, yeah, and he's like, I
(33:16):
don't have any regrets, and usually in a situation like that,
I would just like back off and everyone's like you
mean you would ghost the person and he'd be like, yes, yes,
it's like cool, dude, you're not like yeah. They were
like what do you normally do? And he's like I
just kind of like back off and fade away. Yeah,
after we've been hooking up for a while and I'm
(33:37):
not into it anymore. I just kind of like fade out.
It's like, you can't do that on a boat, dumbass. Yeah,
and even in person if you're not on a boat, like,
don't do that. Yeah, Like I don't do that. Just
tell them you're not interested. It's so simple. It's a
single conversation. Then you move on with your life, just
so they don't feel like fucking fucked over by some
(33:57):
like weird British dude who fills in his eyebrows. And
then Captain Lee at this point chimes in which I
also kind of felt was unnecessary because I was like, dude, stop,
but he was like I feel like if if it
had been off a boat, it would have just been
a one night stand situation. Yeah, everybody was piling on
Elizabeth to such an extent that I felt bad for her,
even though she's very Maybe she isn't suited for the
(34:21):
yachting industry. With the way everybody was like, you'll never
be in yachting. I was just like, you know, it's
just a service job on a yacht, not that hard.
It's not like she has to pull the rigging or whatever.
Like she's a stewardess. She was not the greatest stewardess,
but she wasn't. I mean, she did make mustard gas,
but they didn't fire her after she made the mustard gas.
(34:44):
That would have been their their opportunity to fire her.
It's like then they kept her around and just kind
of kicked at her all the time. I know, but
it unites the rest of the staff to have a
punching bag. It's like Lord of the Flies. It really
bumt me. I I really didn't think Captain really needed
to jump in and say that, yeah, because they were like,
(35:05):
Captain Lee, what do you think is she unfit for sailing?
And he was like, yeah, god, bummer, that was such
a bummer. You don't belong in this industry. I know.
Fuck off. Okay, Now to Izzy and Rob, she calls
Rob a coward and says he doesn't want to confront
how he acted towards her, And he says that he
(35:25):
doesn't even watch the show, so he probably doesn't know.
And Rachel's like, I actually talked to Rob a lot,
and I think he has WiFi issues where he's at,
but he is definitely working. Oh yeah, it's the WiFi issues. Yeah,
if I was robbed, I would also probably not show up,
although to be fair, you were having WiFi issues yesterday. Yeah,
and I still have yeah to wherever I was. If
(35:50):
you don't have to get to the Zoom reunion, you
would have gone to Andy Cohen's house in person if
need be. Yeah, I would have literally and bought new WiFi.
But who knows? Yeah, so is He's like, I was
actually considering applying to be a deck hand instead of
(36:11):
a stew for to begin with, but she'd have been
she'd been assaulted, and she had also had some weird
work environments with some men that made her uncomfortable, so
she decided she didn't want to work with any men,
so she got the stew job. After she had worked,
she's done like some steward essaying on a catamaran, and
she thought it would be similar, but it really wasn't.
(36:32):
So it was probably best for her to work on
the deck, so she wasn't holding back the team. That
when when uh, what's her name is he was a
stew she made Elizabeth look really good. Yeah, that's true.
That also really bummed me out because then I was like, oh,
the like annoying stuff she went through with the male
crew members on this ship must have just compounded whatever
(36:57):
funked up stuff she had with other I mean, there's
clearly an issue with like sexism, especially above deck. I think.
So whenever they have a female deckhand, it becomes an issue.
I know, because no one or like remember Peter in
Med season where he'd be like alright, sweetheart or whatever. Right,
there's always like a they never just like work normally.
(37:22):
They always make it an issue for some reason, especially
when there's like a female boson or not a Boson
but whatever is. They's job was lead deck hand, but
deckhand when oh so yeah, when Malia got promoted during
her first season, it was because she was hooking up
with the Bosons, so all of a sudden that got overshadowed.
(37:44):
And then when she was the Boson and had a
bunch of guys working for her. Fucking Pete kept calling
her sweetheart and didn't even realize he was doing it
to a point where when they got killed out and
he was just like, we're just trying to figure out
who's been calling you sweetheart. I feel like that's what
happened to here a little bit too. It's like the
guys didn't even realize how much they were undermining Izzy.
(38:06):
So then when she was like, you're undermining me, they
were like, what are you talking about. We're all friends here.
That was terrible. Yeah, And sometimes they're like, well, of
course we're gonna like rib you. You're the boss, and
it's like yeah, but you do it a different way.
When it's a gal. It's always feels like a weird
attempt to like prove prove your masculinity. Weird insecurity, Well,
(38:33):
that was interesting because James is like, we didn't think
we gave her a hard time. Rob just speaks a
certain way so people could take it the wrong way,
and is He's like, no, he wasn't giving good banter.
He was just being a dick. Yeah. Well I like
that when they were doing sort of the like okay,
the classic uh is flirting outlawed? Now is flirting against
(38:54):
the law. It's like, No, that wasn't like flirty, fun banter.
You were being like a dick. Yeah, what what? I
can't call you sweetheart? No more what I'm not allowed
to call you angel tits when we're swabbing the deck together.
I love angel tits. It's a term of endearment. I
love when I'm called angel tits. Actually, so I'm not.
(39:16):
I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one. Um,
but that's because the through DJ name is DJ Angel.
Just you know, me calling you professionally by your professional name.
What's up, I'm Angel tits. I was distracting. I confused
myself by saying angel tits. Um, don't call me angel swits.
(39:38):
So Francesca says, I was never mean, held on Charles
and Ross. I was never mean to Elizabeth. I was
just giving her direction. I never said anything mean to her.
Elizabeth's like, yeah, but you're like really condescending with your tone,
and then Francesca cuts her off, like I didn't think.
I don't think I I enjoy you. Actually, I really
enjoyed you at the beginning. Yeah, I thought you were
(39:58):
fine until I found what a terrible look are you are? Yeah,
and then I turned on you and I made you
my bitch because I hate you. And then we all talk.
We all had little jokes about how much we hide you. Yeah.
Francesca was also dressed like Corrella de Ville. Oh. She
was wearing like a weird dress or coat that had
(40:20):
like black feathers or fur on the front. And then
she was wearing these like silly dangly earrings with like
too many things on them, like everybody was trying too
hard in their own particular way. But she looked very villainous.
(40:40):
And Elizabeth was kind of dressed like a figure skater.
She like she was in like stage makeup, and I
feel like just was not lit correctly for how much
makeup she was wearing. And she was had kind of
a a spangly leotard type thing she did have. Uh,
(41:00):
that's so funny. So that was like a very striking
visual contrast between two tan blonde women who otherwise are
She had a spangly leotard on. You're right, that's hilarious, man, Yeah,
you nailed it. They all had like silly outfits on,
but that's like their idea of like I get to
(41:20):
dress up right. Well, they were dressed for all different events,
which made sense because that's all they were all dressed for,
like their personality, Like Eddie was just kind of preppy.
Captain Lee was like half unbuttoned, you know, seventies lounge,
and and I think James was literally just wearing a
T shirt, like wearing a T shirt and he had
(41:42):
crazy boy band eyebrows. Yeah. And Ashley was wearing something
so boring you can't even remember it. She was literally
just had her hair like kind of waved and then
like a black tank. Yeah. She was wearing like a
sparkly top, like darker hair underneath and blonder on top.
(42:02):
It's a look, it's the look at the Devil. I thought,
isz is he was kind of dressed for a reunion
with like spangly makeup and stuff. I thought she looked great. Also,
she and Rachel were the m v p s. I
think so the style m vps, I think so. I yeah,
I think so. Yeah, because Rachel's was wearing like a
nice powder blue top, no big deal, had her hair
(42:25):
looking nice, her makeup wasn't too overstated. Once I started
talking about eyebrows, then I was like doing a close
look at everybody's eyebrows. What did you discover? Well? I
just thought I was like, oh, Rachel's like not too overdone,
Like it's got it's got an arch and it's done
up a little bit, but it's not too too done.
(42:47):
I can dig it. Yeah, let's take a quick commercial
break and we'll come back and finish out this reunion.
And we're back. So they're talking about the interior and
Ash is like, yeah, we all worked really well together,
I thought. And then she's like and Elizabeth like, how
(43:10):
long have you been even like working in yachts? Like
five years? And I thought that was weird because literally
last week or the week before she had been like,
you've been working on yachts for like four and a
half years now, on and off. So it's like, oh,
all of a sudden, it's five years and you don't remember,
Like you're being a bit. Also, the way they kept
saying on and off, like you all work on and off,
(43:33):
that's how the industry works. Yeah, I don't understand why
they're constantly trying to like push that, and they're like
basically Ash and Francesca start to double team Elizabeth and
be like, yeah, you worked on and off, so you
really didn't learn enough. You didn't really get the hang
of things. They were being so condescending and being like, yeah,
you don't really get this, you can't you can't hang
(43:55):
with the big dogs clearly, and then pretty much no,
but he was backing up Elizabeth no, and then they
would be like, yeah, so, like you know, yawning is
not for everyone, Like they were just like telling her
how it is, and it's like, you don't know her life,
you don't know her experience, so stop, maybe, like you
guys are being bitches, sorry to say it, back off,
(44:17):
and Elizabeth does stand up for herself and she's like, well,
you guys were kind of being bullies towards the end,
and if you had shipped to say, just sit to
my face if you had any issues and ash just
like you wanted me to like cause problems by being
honest with you instead of just talking ship behind your back.
Like that's literally what she said. Basically. Yeah, She's like, oh,
you wanted me to not be fake and not be
(44:38):
a fake ass bitch to you all the time and
not pretend that we get along even though I'm like
ship talking you constantly to our shared supervisor. Yeah, and
she's like yeah, yeah, that's that's exactly. Yeah. It was
so absurd. I was like what what, I don't know anyway,
Francesca and asked defend themselves, and they're bullying is a
(45:00):
strong word. Um, And then Francesca's like, yeah, well, like
people were talking about me behind my back the entire time,
to which Rachel's like, yeah, you know, I was just frustrated.
They're both like, we weren't bullying, and then they just
like bully her for another ten minutes. You like, shut up, Elizabeth,
you don't know what you're talking about. They're like, we
weren't bullying her. We just think that she's a loser
(45:22):
and she should go kill herself. And also, um, she's
ugly and everybody hates her, so I don't know why
she's so upset fucked up. And then like Ash just
keeps being like, look, you're just not cut out for yachting. Okay,
you're just not cut out for yachting, and it's like stop,
just stop, we get it, just stop saying like she
was becoming like Malia in that moment where Malia just
(45:45):
kept going on about maritime law with Hannah, and it's
like these psychos who work on the boats, who like
have this idea of yachting us this like this vocation
that it's more than just a job, which is like,
maybe that's true for the captain in because he literally
drives the boat, but they clearly, like so many of them,
(46:07):
define their entire selves in terms of being people who
work on boats. And it's not that deep. I feel
like you can just work on a boat and then
like go live your life. It doesn't have to be
this like only the strong survive because again, like Hannah
was the best Chiefs Too that has ever existed, and
(46:29):
even if she smoked a little reefer on a boat,
you know. Yeah, I'm just saying there's like letter of
the law and spirit of the law when it comes
to maritime law. I don't know if I thought Hannah
was the best. I think I thought Kate was the best.
I thought Hannah was the best TV Handah was just
good TV. But we can spend all of the chief
(46:50):
Stews tri show debating who's the Kate Hannah. Yeah, yeah,
that's true. We could do that. We just list off
all their the highlights, because I do think Kay was
the best, but I think at the end they were
just all fed up. They both did burn out. Yeah, yeah,
(47:10):
they were definitely burned out. And I can understand because
like one, you probably just like I also think on
like Hannah's and she got a lot of heat, like
people just like mean to her online all the time.
She just like didn't want to do it anymore. She
was always talking about how she like had to go
to therapy and like get like that also sounds like
she had a better balance than some of the other
(47:32):
people because she was like, it's just a job. I'm
going to go have a real life. Yeah that's true.
Good for her. I mean, I hope she's doing well
her baby. She started a yachti training academy, right which
e J. Do you remember e J? From that season,
Nico was like the lead deckhand and there was no Boston,
(47:54):
and then Captain Lee hired e J to come in
and like take charge of things, and then Nico was
just piste off and bitter the whole time. E J
says that Hannah stole his her entire plan, like her
whole yachting class plan from his yachting class plan. Like
I don't know if it's truema. He is not impressed anyway.
(48:18):
So Elizabeth says she's worked with people like Chief Studs
and other studs who don't think she's an idiot. So
it appears that these women are just kind of being
aggressive towards her, And Captainlee says Francesco was right about
her about Elizabeth and there were a lot of things
going wrong and that she's just not meant to be
a Yatti. And then Elizabeth's like, well, She's like, thank
(48:39):
you Captain Lee for that, but like I do think, like, um,
he didn't really get to know me as a Yatti,
and I think your opinion is bias and you didn't
see all the great things I did. Was like like,
she's like, your opinion is biased, But I did think
what she was saying was that Captain Lee was talking
about stuff he'd heard from Francesca. Captain Lee was trusting
(49:04):
that Francesca was not by us. Steven though Francesco was
just like She's the worst person that I've ever worked
with in my entire life. But I also think he
was just going off what he saw on the show,
and like what he saw on the show, I didn't
even think that was that bad, like the show didn't
display it to be like absolute dogs again the mustard
gas that was bad, heard bad that pretty quick. But
(49:29):
having sex in a guest room not during a charter,
they hadn't gotten caught. Yeah, Ashley fucking him. I'm fine
hop sex in the engine room like everybody else where.
There's no cameras. Yeah, exactly, because and the engineers just
have to watch. Yeah, baby, they like to watch. But anyway,
(49:51):
Kapitally basically says, Elizabeth's in denial, um. And then they
asked about the cake situation when her cake came out
for her birthday didn't but she'd already been fired, And
Elizabeth says the cake thing was pretty weird and looked
a little malicious because people were laughing. She wishes she
could have thanked Rachel in the moment, and Rachel thinks
that Elizabeth should have just finish the season because there
(50:12):
are only two charters left. And Francesca's like, you don't understand.
I was exhausted. She's like, my life was a living hell. Yeah,
how dare she? But also yeah, because COVID was clearly
in the air. Yeah, And so Francesca claims that she
wasn't laughing when the cake came about Elizabeth not being there,
because it hadn't even registered in her mind that the
(50:33):
birthday cake was for Elizabeth, Like they just like weren't
that close, So she wasn't even thinking about Elizabeth in
that moment. But who fucking knows, uh. And then Andy
Cohen asks Elizabeth and Francesca to say positive things about
each other, and Francesca's like, yeah, I really enjoyed working
with you at the beginning, you know, I thought we
really got along well. And then Elizabeth's like, there was like,
(50:55):
you know, a lot of positive stuff, like you were
really open with me and we got to talk about
things and I got to know you. And then Captain
Lee laughs and it's like they asked you to say
positive things and she's like, what I just did? She did?
She's like, is that not a positive thing to say?
Someone was like open with you? That was weird. I
(51:16):
was like, Captain Lee was like listening, that was weird?
Was that not weird? I was like, what it was weird?
And I was also like Captain Lee asked the Captain
you should withhold from yeah, being like a crew drama
that was not a good look, I was like, full,
you're clearly one not listening because she did just say
(51:36):
positive ship about Francesca. A couple too many espresso martini
is all around. Perhaps those tinted glasses are messing with
his hearing. Yeah, and then we learned that Josiah was
actually supposed to take over for Elizabeth, but he was
like stuck at the airport because the coronavirus and Captain
Lee thinks he would have been a great addition. And
that is where the reunion ends. Wow, good reunion. Yeah.
(52:03):
I like that they didn't make it a two parter.
Was pretty discinct. We got through everyone's drama. I do
love that. Like, Ashley had nothing going on, so they
didn't ask her really anything, and that's I think that's
why she kept inserting herself because they she knew if
she didn't, no one would even speak to her. Well,
that's how she's like a beta to a mean girl
because she needs somebody to boss her around. They spent
(52:26):
more time on Shane than they did on her because
she's so boring. Well, she didn't offer anything other than
being like Francesco is like little you know minion. Yeah,
but yeah, they barely even talked about the guests. They
didn't talk about like the woman jumping off the ship
at all. Oh yeah, Doris. Yeah. They briefly mentioned her
(52:48):
at the beginning and that was it. They didn't talk
about the like the idiot sons, Oh my god, those
I did like that. Actually at the beginning, Captain Captain
Andy Cohen is like Ashley, and how's your stomach ache?
Because that's like it, yeah, should nothing else to offer?
You got a weak stomach? That's your personality? All right,
(53:12):
you dummy by you can leave. We don't need you.
And she like can I just like input that. Elizabeth's
like not very good at this. It's like, thank you.
Maybe your stomach hurts because you ate too much of
the spike cake. Maybe your stomach hurts because you're an asshole,
that's right. I don't know. Well that's the end of that, guys.
(53:35):

Deckheads with your hosts Nick and Anna, broadcasting from the
bottom of the boat below below deck whoa, I'm horny,
all ya talk all the time. I'm having a party.
(00:21):
We're shoveling cold to keep this show upfloat. I love cocaine.
We're off the map in international waters. I need some trama.
Me hide that cocaine. Never in my nose. Should see
you know I'm in an open relationship below deck Deckheads. Hey, guys,
(00:49):
it's Anna. I'm here to one cover the reunion and
also tell you guys some interesting spinoff news. That's right,
it's happened, baby, Deckheads. The podcast is ending, but don't worry.
Exciting stuff to come. So I'm gonna bring my guests
in for today's episode. Who has obviously been on the
(01:09):
show a hundred times, a hundred times since whatever, three
or four times whatever, a hundred thousand times she's been
on the show. It's Molly Lambert. Hello, thank you for
joining me on this fabulous episode. Thank you for having me.
I've been talking like Asha. Oh wait, because you've been
(01:30):
sending me her Instagram. Okay, to give some context, I
just like in quarantine in New Zealand before she gets
like let out. I guess they have to quarantine for
fourteen days in some hotel. And just every day she's like,
oh my god over everything New Zealand is doing because
she's so impressed by them, and it just kills me.
(01:52):
I love it. I get there to watch it every morning,
so I'm like I need to know what I was
just happy about, and then it makes me happy. It's
very uplifting and make you wish you lived in New Zealand.
I know, I know. She's like, end today they sent
me a riddle and you're like, I don't know. It
sounds like they really take care of them. Does the
New Zealand government send you a riddle? It's like in
(02:14):
this info packet she gets every day, it's just like,
imagine what's happening. Imagine like competence. I don't know how
the American government sends us a riddle, but it's like
the riddle is how do you get vaccinated? Yeah? Yeah,
they're like, good luck surviving. Riddle me this America. What
(02:40):
has three spikes and not enough doses? I know what's
just gonna kill you in the end. Anyway America. It's
even coronavirus. It's just like America is going to kill you,
because who cares. They're not sending us a nice packet
every day with like some fun jokes or just even
(03:02):
like any info. There's no like every email I get
from my doctor is like, so, what's up with you? Yeah?
I know technically we are we do have to go
ahead to start vaccinating this group of people, but uh,
we don't have vaccines, so what's up with you? And
(03:22):
it's like thank you for the update. That didn't really
update me on anything. No, my friend will send me
a thing that's just like oh. And then they just
like threw two million vaccines away for no reason. It's
like cool cool cool, Yeah. And theny of the l
A Times being like these millennial vaccine chasers and it's like, yeah,
this is this is the hill you should die on.
L A Times. Yeah. That's the problem is that the
(03:45):
system is so corrupt that people can easily hack it
because it's so broken and racist, and that on top
of that's like the system is so corrupt that like
millennials are like, well fuck it, I'll go wait in
line for nine hours and maybe I'll get a because
you're going to throw it away anyway, Okay, fine, whatever.
It's like we're all just kind of like, what what
(04:06):
other option do we have other than to like just,
I don't know, wake up at four in the morning
and stand in the rain. I was stressed out when
my parents. My parents got it, thank thankfully, but like
that was the most stressful thing to me. I was
just thinking about people trying to like book it for
their parents, and there's like this incredibly complicated labyrinth of
(04:28):
online sign ups. My dad has gotten his first shot,
which is good, and obviously has an appointment for a
second one. My mom isn't getting it yet because she's
like on antibiotics, so she can't get it yet because
she has some gnarly ear infection or something. Or another
man my friend had an appointment for a second shot,
(04:48):
and then the winter storm made the vaccines be delayed,
so they were like, we can't give anyone their second
shots because they're all stuck in like Michigan or whatever
in the snow. Just just a cluster fuck of amazing proportions,
which is why all the people on blow deck pivot
(05:11):
to below deck. Uh. I didn't really want to seem
to go back to land life. No, no, no, no,
are you right? This is the podcast? Oh yeah, you're right.
I forget what we're talking about. Why are we here? Okay, guys,
we are here because when we're gonna talk about the
reunion of season eight. But also we have an announcement
we Molly and I. There's reasons she's here. She's not
(05:32):
just here to big ups me while I tell you
this announcement. But we are going to do a Deckheads
spinoff entitled Deckheads Chief Stews. But we're gonna do it
every Tuesday night on Twitch you guys, Twitch the streaming service.
That's right, and perhaps we'll even be at sea, yes
(05:54):
when when you see us, Yes, so you will physically
be able to watch us talk about this show every
Tuesday night. We're going to transition the socials the at
Deckheads Pod to give you information about when and where
you can watch a stream. There will be a link.
Don't worry that you can click and then you'll very
(06:16):
easily just be able to watch us. And if you
can't watch us in real time, don't worry because all
the videos save on our page and you'll be able
to watch it. Later and if you don't want to
watch it, you can just put it on and listen
to it like a podcast. So many options. And we're
going to be covering the new season of Below Deck
(06:38):
that is itself the most recent blowdeck spinoff sailing yacht.
So we'll be below Deck Chief Stoos covering Below Deck
sailing to spinoffs. And I'm excited because this new season
of sailing looks real fun. I love how much sailing
is involved with the sailing yacht. It is also it
(07:01):
also looks like real ships about to happen. What do
you mean like? It looks actually like dramatic and crazy
like they you know, we always get these like oh no,
how's this docking gonna go? And then it's fine. It
looks like the actually want why crash the boat into
the dock, which is like what I've been waiting for.
(07:23):
It honestly seems like there's so much higher of a
chance of crashing the boat with the sailing yacht because
it's a sailboat. That that checks out to me. It
seems like like the wind just you know, does what
it wants to a sailboat. Yeah, it's always the wind there,
Like it's so windy, Oh my god, what's gonna happen?
(07:43):
And then it's you know, why not. There's more of
an emphasis in that one on just how crazy sailing is,
and um, just the idea of like taking on the
ocean with the machine is like insane. It is because
you turn the yeah, you turn the inche off, and
you're like sales all up, all right, let's see where
it takes us, and it's like, seems cool. I would
(08:06):
love to do it. Let's learn to sail. Yeah, honestly,
I would enjoy sailing as well. One time I was
on a sailboat and I had an edible and it
was very uncomfortable because I was too high. That sounds
like a nightmare. It was. It was not great. I'll
just tell you that I thought, I think I almost
(08:28):
dropped my diet coke into the water because I just
was not ready for the sale. Uh, full confession. I
get a little seasick on boats. But that won't be
a problem on our Twitch boat. No, no, no, no,
because we we will have twitch dramamine, I think, right,
(08:49):
So that's our big announcement. We're moving a twitch baby.
The podcast will be no longer will be Molly and
I just talking decks. But we'll be the chief stews
of this twitch to spin offs, right, it's a spinoff,
al right, so let's get into this reunion. Okay, it
(09:09):
is season eight, episode seventeen, technically the reunion of season eight.
You know, it's interesting because like I kind of miss
that them all being there in person. Yeah, I was
surprised because all the other reunions have been doing for
Housewives have been in person, which is so weird because
they're like not wearing masks and allegedly everyone's tested. But
(09:34):
those have all been in New York in the studio,
So I think I just assumed this would be in
a studio. And then it was a zoom reunion once again,
treating Below Deck like the bastard child of Bravo even
though it's like the most popular show. That's interesting because
I do feel like they love the Housewives so much more. Well,
(09:56):
now that I'm thinking about it, it was probably just
entirely practical because everybody was in a different country. Oh,
you're right, you're right, and a lot of people were
in serious quarantine because they've been coming out of yachts.
That's valid. So that was like my favorite thing when
they introduced it was that they were like New Zealand, Australia, America, Italy,
(10:20):
like it's four am for some people. That added a
fun cookie And yeah, I think a lot of them
were at their homes quarantining after being at sea. It's
it's a tough life out there, man, except for you
just were on a boat, so maybe it's not that
tough alright. So yeah, we starts the reunion. Captain Lee
(10:42):
is wearing tinted sunglasses. That's a choice. They might just
be tinted regular glasses, that's true. I was thinking about
it the whole time. I was like, are they transitions? Yeah,
I I don't know. That's a good question. He seems
like a guy who could rock some trans missions glasses.
(11:02):
I liked them. I was into it. I thought it
was I had never seen him wear anything like that,
and it's like I felt like Mary Anne got him
for him, his his lovely bride and was like, honey,
this is the new you. Your cool Captain Lee tinted
sonnies cool guy? What him on? See? I thought that
was just like because he's so like seventies yacht rock
(11:22):
to me that I was just like, oh, these are
like his cool glasses he wears at home when he's
kicking back, and they like that. Captain Lee rock Well.
I loved seeing everybody's apartment. I know, I feel like
a lot of them like are in hotels. I don't
know why, but I always looks so probably Bravo was like,
go to a hotel, don't pay for it. No, I
(11:44):
don't know. I thought they all just lived in weird
like modernist cubicle apartments with plants like everybody else. Yeah. Also,
did you know it's like the women like really get
their makeup done, like they go all out. We can
talk about this more, but Elizabeth was wearing so much
makeup that she was not fully recognizable. Yeah, I feel
(12:06):
like that from what my what I remember in past
Nians everyone, I think they like hire a whole team
because they're like, this is my chance to like glow up.
But then it's always like they all have like very
intense eyelashes on, like yeah, guyelashes. Yeah, I mean that's
like professional makeup is just throwing on some like giant eyelashes, right,
(12:28):
so you look like a Disney princess. I thought that
Rachel actually looked amazing. It was great. She did look great.
Lindsay looked unrecognizable because she was wearing so much makeup
that you couldn't see her face under it almost, and
she was wearing this kind of like I don't know
(12:49):
if the foundation was the wrong shade or if it
was the lighting or a combination of the two, but
it was like she almost looked like she was like
a Simpson. Yes, Rachel looked. Rachel looked great. I thought, yeah,
I thought she looked. She legitimately looked like, oh she
got some makeup done and she looks really hot, but
not like it didn't look crazy. Sometimes they look a
(13:12):
little crazy. Yeah, all right, let's get into it. So
Francesco's joining them from Sydney and it's four am. Rachel's
in Italy and quarantine, Elizabeth's in Fort Lauderdale. James is
in the UK in some town. I didn't really understand.
What he said is he's in New Zealand and he
didn't want to give me an exact location because he
didn't want Elizabeth to know where he is. Is that
(13:35):
what he said? I come to make sense. He's like, uh, yeah,
don't worry about it. You're like, oh, okay, He's like,
I'm infus. That's what it sounded like. He said, though
he was like murder from I was like, where where
are you? Sir? Who know? Its hard to say? So
(13:58):
is he's in New Zealand as slings in Australia to
Shane Joins from San Diego and we learned that Rob
Gold Rob is not there because he's in Fiji digging
for gold, and then he is he is not feeling robbed.
She literally says she doesn't think Rob wanted to be
on the show because he's weird and he was really
(14:19):
rude to the production and didn't really want to be filmed,
and he wouldn't talk whenever there was a camera around,
and he would just be an asshole. And she's like,
I think he's weak, And I'm like, wow, that's what
happens when you don't show up. Uh? Is he does
not like Rob? Do you get the vibe? I think
(14:39):
it was mutual. We didn't get to talk about this,
but when he tipped off on the finale, that is
he wanted to talk to him and he came over
and did that whole like, hey, is he I've been
meaning to talk to you before I go I hope
I didn't come off as an asshole to you. Oh yeah?
And he he was so fake when he did it.
He was like sorry if he's out that way, by like,
(15:02):
I don't think you really mean it at all. And
he was like, who can say see you later? Who
can say all right? By? Yeah? I I did not
care for that. I found it creepy. It was almost
worse than not apologizing because it was like the fakest
apology I've ever seen. And she kind of didn't accept it,
and he was like, well, I've done all I can
(15:24):
by forever, I've done all I can't all right, see you? Yeah?
That was miserable. All right. Shane, who's there for like
five minutes, says he regrets nothing, and he says he
gave it his all when he was on the boat,
but just didn't realize how much hard work it would
take to be on a yacht until he stepped on
(15:44):
the boat and the end capt Eric captainly and he's
like did you google it? And he's like, I took
a maritime course. I'm like that should teach you, right, Yeah, Sunshine, Sunshane,
Shane Sunshine. Um, he came off better than I thought.
Because the edit on the show made him look like
(16:06):
such a dumbass. And uh then when they talked to
him him, he was like, yeah, I obviously know that
yachts are like not good for the environment. Yeah, nevertheless,
I wished to bring my message of ecology and peace
to the television. And then somebody said something nice about
(16:27):
him where they were like, oh, yeah, he told us
not to take things from a protected habitat, which like
I didn't know we weren't allowed to do. You know,
that was actually pretty cool. I was like into that.
I was like good for him for knowing being like
good for him. And I was also like, think of
all the other times they've been like take as many
shells as you want, probably like yacht people, I know
(16:49):
that's actually true. I know, yeah, it's not great for them,
especially probably in Fiji when they did go there and
there was so much whole thing. I'm sure they're like
colonized nature. Like if you have enough money, who cares, right,
you can pay the fine. So Captain or Not keep
saying captainly Andy Cohen asks you can call him Captain Andy,
(17:13):
and Captain I'm gonna call Captain Cohen because he's the
captain of this reunion, but he asks Shane a question
about if he thought that it was too harsh how
Eddie called him an idiot or whatever stupid, and Shane's
all cranky and he's like, if these are all gonna
be questions where they're like roasting me that, I'm like
(17:35):
literally going to log off, and then Cohen's like, Andy Cohen.
Andy Cohen's like, I mean it sounds like the question
is actually like defending you, but okay, and he's like,
I don't think Shane stupid, and then he apologizes to
him for calling him that, and Shane's like, I hold
no grudges towards anyone. Yeah, He's like, if you guys
(17:56):
are just gonna be roasting me, and somebody was like,
were her to roast everybody? It's a roast? I know
that's James literally goes like I love this. This is
like a roast of below Deck and he's like, hey,
I tried to Warren Shane. I told him not to
go take a nap, probably get in trouble. Okay, so
no big and then Shane's like I didn't realize, Like
(18:18):
I totally realize yawning industry is not sustainable and that's
when he's like, I did actually learn a lot about
from Shane. And then they kicked Shane off the show
because he's boring and his parting words are stay sustainable
and he does the peace sign. He's he is who
(18:39):
he is. Yeah, he literally is who he is. There's
there's nothing more there. Rachel says that quitting wasn't anything
against the crew members, and she was dealing with everything
going on in the world and the demands of this
charter that was coming on was too much and she
didn't want to like funk it all up and destroy
her career on TV, which why she ended up quitting
(19:01):
and being like eat my coot or Captain Lee. She
also says that she kind of breaks the fourth wall
and says that coronavirus was obviously like becoming a big
problem right at that point, and so she was freaking
out about whether or not she'd be able to like
get back into a country. I don't know if it
was Italy to see her boyfriend Vincenzo or America, but
(19:25):
she was like, yeah, it just occurred to me like
if I didn't leave now, I might not be able
to get back, right, Yeah, I mean, she has a point.
She it's more than just somebody throwing a tantrum because
the guests are too annoying, which also then everybody was like,
she was right. They had too many crazy demands, which
(19:48):
they never say because the whole thing is like anything
you want. They were like crab legs for breakfast, lunch
and dinner or whatever it was they put down. Yeah,
and if I crawled correctly, those people like they didn't
turn out to be very high maintenance in the end. No,
it turned out to be fine, and Rachel did an
amazing job, and she and Eddie like Eddie was very
(20:11):
incensed by her lack of professionalism. But then on the
reunion they're like, did she prove herself when she came back,
And He's like, yes, immediately, Yeah, because she's a fucking baller. Dude, Yeah, dude,
because she's a fucking professional yacht chef. When she says
eat her couter, she means a delicious twelve course meal
(20:33):
that she made Roscoe. I know I would eat her
food in a second, So yeah, Eddie's like, I was
upset that she didn't apologize to anyone when she came back,
but she's amazing chef, thank you. Yeah, but you can't
funk with her her preparation and plating. No, no, no no. Also,
(20:53):
just like everything she comes up with, it's just like
so interesting and looks delicious. Yeah, all the chefs are
a pain in the ass. On the spectrum of paint
in the ash chefs, she ranks pretty low. Actually yeah,
because she also kills it, so it's like it outweighs.
How much of a pain in the ash shoes? I think,
(21:13):
I think, but who knows? Um, Well, all the chefs
are divas, I think because they're like yeasts. Yeah, yeah,
they're chefs. Come on, they paint, they paint with food.
Oh yes, I love that they paint with food. I
love that. I love everything about that. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
well Frances, because like, I don't think my team had
(21:36):
a hard time working with Rachel in the communication may
have been slow at first, but then we all figured
it out, and Andy Cohen's like, were you I feel
like I was watching a different show because you guys
were still mad at each other at the end and
they're like and like don't really respond to that, And
I was like, what weird? Because I was like, huh,
everybody's really getting long. And then it took a turn
(21:58):
in the second half where the tensions came back out. Yeah,
I mean like literally, like was it maybe the maybe
it was the last episode Rachel was like complaining to
Captain Lee about Francesca. She hates Francesca, I think, but
I think they did maintain a sort of like mutual
(22:18):
distance of like, Okay, you're a crazy bee and I'm
a crazy bee, but you don't have to interact that much. Yeah.
I've held a grudge forever over the Mahi mahimah he thing. Oh,
I was annoying. She shouldn't have written two on one line.
I think about it like every day. I would be
so mad if I got in trouble for that, because
(22:41):
you could just argue it forever. And it was just
crazy to me that Francesca was like, no, this is
the normal way to write it is to write mahimah
he twice on one line, meaning to mahimah he's that
ain't right, she funked up. That's not how you're right.
You gotta make it as clear as possible. You're chef
is working hard and quick and uh, she ain't got
(23:04):
time for this. Francesca's Rachel. So why would you ever
want Rachel on your bad side? She seems like she
would literally put a pillow over your head, your room together, dangerous. Sorry,
let's take a quick commercial break and we'll be right
back after this to continue talking about this reunion. And
(23:28):
we're back. They're talking about Rachel's drinking and she says
she's a wild stallion, unbridled, and Eddie's like, yeah, you know,
we're mostly letting her have fun and blowoff steam. But
he basically says he doesn't never he didn't really ever
confront her about her drinking because he said that he
was just basically afraid of setting her off. Yeah. The
way Eddie talks about Rachel is crazy. It's like he's
(23:51):
afraid of her. He is afraid of her. He's hand
percent afraid of her. Um. It kind of reminded me
of some of the stuff on The Southern Charm this
past season two, where it's like he's got this kind
of like genteel southern growing where he's just like whoa, whoa,
this is unladylike, I yes, he's from like what Baltimore. Yeah,
I'm sure he's raised where it's like women need to
(24:12):
be It's like an East Coast his whole like, yeah,
don't be too loud thing. It's like it's your day off.
She's not doing it at work, although she obviously does
sometimes yell expletives at work. Well, he says that it's
fine until she's like fucking with other crew members time
(24:33):
or like enjoyment, and then I think it was just
him though I think he was like, I don't like this,
everyone else should also not like it. But I guess
also I was just like they've paid everybody at this
beach bar to be in the show. Probably so I
didn't feel bad that she was like jumping on stage
(24:53):
with the band because I was like, hopefully this band
got paid for this. The band seemed like they were
they suffered no fools, like they were just staring at her,
like I just felt like she can't be the first
drunk person to get up on that get up on
that cavana stage. Not at all. She has Definitely, I
think they look like they dealt with this ship all that.
(25:14):
That's what I'm saying. They seemed like pros and they
didn't seem angry or faced by it. But Eddie was
like whoa, whoa, she can't do that, and he was
also ship faced. Yeah I do. I'll never forget google it.
Let's go, never forget God beautiful, she is great TV.
But yeah, she wasn't drinking at work. She was just
(25:37):
drinking on their night off when they all get shitty drunk,
it's the whole point. And she was like bummed because
her boyfriend was stuck in Italy and things were like
popping off. She just wasn't doing Yeah, she wasn't doing well.
We heard some info about her relationship with Vincenzo. That's
for Vincenzo on her are no more, no more in
(26:00):
Genzo vinchenso why that's also why she looks so good
a three man. She had to stick it to Vincenzo. Yeah,
she basically said that Vincenzo didn't want her to go
on the show, and then like after court, after she
left the boat, they couldn't see each other for five months.
So that basically fucked the relationship up and took a toll.
(26:25):
And there are no morl It sounds like he wasn't
worth maybe leaving your job for Yeah, but had she
had left her job sooner, I think she probably would
have been able to get to him and maybe might
have still broken up. Though that's true, you never know
with Vincent, that's crazy anyway. So Rachel's like, hey, Heed,
(26:51):
he should have just came and talk to me. Man,
I really respect you, and he's like, I respect you too,
and I'm like, there was no way they were They
would have respected each other in the moment though. But
then she also said that Captain Lee comparing her to
his son really made an impact on her life, because
I believe he said, like it's it's shitty to see
someone with such great talent like throw it away over
something like drinking. I mean, to be fair, he was
(27:14):
comparing everything this season to the situation with his son
because he's clearly screaming and in a lot of trauma
and trying to make it go away by getting back
out on the sea. But it's not gonna help. Can't
sail away from your your trauma. Yeah, I'm glad it did. Uh.
(27:34):
It was a wake up call for Rachel though, So hey,
whatever works, you know from you know Rachel. What Rachel
does drink a lot and then she's like, I don't
get hangovers, and I'm like, that's she's a chef. Yeah,
they I guess it's true. They can put it down.
They can put it down. I've read Kitchen Confidential ry.
They can put it down. Or they're sober because they
(27:56):
can put it down, because they put it down a
little too much. Yeah. Well, James says, he fills in
his eyebrows, and why is everyone making such a big
deal about it. He's not the only guy who feels
in his eyebrows. And that was funny because like Andy
Cohen was like, I'm pretty sure you are, and it
was like, Andy Cohen, you are wearing a full face
of TV makeup. And Kathleen's like, I've never filled in
(28:17):
my eyebrows and James is like you should. I was
like bad. I enjoyed that, me too. God him good. Yeah.
James says he doesn't think he misled Elizabeth and thought
they were on the same page, but clearly she liked
him more and he maybe he should have said something
(28:40):
and I'm like, no, ship you idiot. Oh yeah, and
now he's ready to talk about that. Oh yeah. Turns
out except he was actively being like no, I don't
think I don't want to. Well, it must have been
horrifying for for Elizabeth to see the season because she
was like, I didn't know you, Like I hated my
(29:00):
guts because every time he talks to anyone else he's
like Elizabeth. Yeah, and he's like, I'm I'm being shitty
to her on purpose because she didn't defend me to Rachel.
God forbid you say that to her face. Yeah, he's
such an asshole. And then he's like, but clearly we
both knew it wasn't going to go anywhere off the boat,
and she's kind of like, well, I didn't know that,
(29:21):
And then you feel bad for her again because she
should know. He wasn't even trying to get with her
on the boat, let alone after the boat. Yeah, that
was rough. It was like like very like we can
make out after school, but nobody can see me with
(29:41):
you in the hallway exactly, like don't hold my hand,
like geez, Like it's okay. I think everybody knows you're
just sucking on a boat. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and so
Jam says he knew they shouldn't go into a guest
cabin and he's like, I told Elizabeth we shouldn't do it.
That was crazy. He tried to throw her under the bus.
(30:02):
And be like it was her idea and she's like,
I'm pretty sure it is your idea. Yeah. She was
like you invited me and he's like, oh, like he
so obviously got caught and was just like he and
then it was like and he just got a slap
on the wrist and she got booted and everybody was like, well,
she was going to get booted for something anyway, but
it's like Francesca had it out for her. She still
(30:25):
got bitched out by Francesca and what Captain Lee was
just like, don't do that again. James, He's like Okay.
Then he was like, well, it was worth it anyway. Whatever, boy,
it's I got to have all the sex with no
responsibility and get my bonus. At the end of the
charter and Elizabeth says they had been drinking and they
(30:46):
knew they shouldn't have gone without permission, but whatever. I
until they were like, oh, what if we had asked?
And then they were like, then we probably would have
fired you for asking. Yeah. Yeah. And then Ash, god,
Ash really is grinding my gears because she just jumps
she was the villain. She jumps in and like adds
(31:07):
information that is like you don't need to, like, she goes, well,
you know, I just want to say, and it's like, why,
I just want to say. It takes two to tango. Yeah,
they were too ash and Francesca were doing a full
mean Girls on Elizabeth, which is like the only reason
I feel compelled to defend Elizabeth because she's obviously not
(31:28):
good at her job, but the way they treated her
was just so mean. And then they just deny it.
Then they're just like, oh, no, we didn't do it.
We didn't like, we didn't gossip about her and talk
to it about her constantly and like make fun of
her and call her like a loser and a waste
of space. And then and then they show when they
(31:49):
did that. Yeah, they're like, we didn't do anything to you.
You were just bad at your job. We just proceeded
to like talk ship to you about you all the
time about how bad you were at your job. We
just called you a lost call cause on the Andy
Cohen Show. And then she's like, I can't believe you
called me a lost cause. She's like, oh, well, that's
just I was. That's what they put the question as
(32:10):
I was just quoting it back. It's not my fault
that they called you a lost cause, but I mean
you are a lost cause. We all agree that you're
a lost cause. Yeah. Every time Ashley jumped in it
was unnecessary. It was like, but you didn't do anything
this season other than like talk shit about Elizabeth to Francesca.
You don't really need to be at this reunion because
there's literally no questions for you by I didn't care
(32:33):
for her. No, But it's like Francesca is the Regina
George and then needs her. Ashley is the Lacy ship
Bear character. She's like, you need her to do your
little dirty work. Yeah, so that you can keep looking
like the Chiefs too. That's not trying to undermine her
own crew. Yeah, that was bad. James says hooking up
(32:55):
in the cabin was worth it anyway, so whatever. Yeah,
James is like, it was all worth it. Everything I
did that sucked, I don't regret it. Yeah. And then
he's like, what do people expect for me when Elizabeth
got fired? And everyone's like compassion and he's like okay, sure.
He's like it's like I was happy, and then they're
like show him being happy, yeah, and he's like, I
(33:16):
don't have any regrets, and usually in a situation like that,
I would just like back off and everyone's like you
mean you would ghost the person and he'd be like, yes, yes,
it's like cool, dude, you're not like yeah. They were
like what do you normally do? And he's like I
just kind of like back off and fade away. Yeah,
after we've been hooking up for a while and I'm
(33:37):
not into it anymore. I just kind of like fade out.
It's like, you can't do that on a boat, dumbass. Yeah,
and even in person if you're not on a boat, like,
don't do that. Yeah, Like I don't do that. Just
tell them you're not interested. It's so simple. It's a
single conversation. Then you move on with your life, just
so they don't feel like fucking fucked over by some
(33:57):
like weird British dude who fills in his eyebrows. And
then Captain Lee at this point chimes in which I
also kind of felt was unnecessary because I was like, dude, stop,
but he was like I feel like if if it
had been off a boat, it would have just been
a one night stand situation. Yeah, everybody was piling on
Elizabeth to such an extent that I felt bad for her,
even though she's very Maybe she isn't suited for the
(34:21):
yachting industry. With the way everybody was like, you'll never
be in yachting. I was just like, you know, it's
just a service job on a yacht, not that hard.
It's not like she has to pull the rigging or whatever.
Like she's a stewardess. She was not the greatest stewardess,
but she wasn't. I mean, she did make mustard gas,
but they didn't fire her after she made the mustard gas.
(34:44):
That would have been their their opportunity to fire her.
It's like then they kept her around and just kind
of kicked at her all the time. I know, but
it unites the rest of the staff to have a
punching bag. It's like Lord of the Flies. It really
bumt me. I I really didn't think Captain really needed
to jump in and say that, yeah, because they were like,
(35:05):
Captain Lee, what do you think is she unfit for sailing?
And he was like, yeah, god, bummer, that was such
a bummer. You don't belong in this industry. I know.
Fuck off. Okay, Now to Izzy and Rob, she calls
Rob a coward and says he doesn't want to confront
how he acted towards her, And he says that he
(35:25):
doesn't even watch the show, so he probably doesn't know.
And Rachel's like, I actually talked to Rob a lot,
and I think he has WiFi issues where he's at,
but he is definitely working. Oh yeah, it's the WiFi issues. Yeah,
if I was robbed, I would also probably not show up,
although to be fair, you were having WiFi issues yesterday. Yeah,
and I still have yeah to wherever I was. If
(35:50):
you don't have to get to the Zoom reunion, you
would have gone to Andy Cohen's house in person if
need be. Yeah, I would have literally and bought new WiFi.
But who knows? Yeah, so is He's like, I was
actually considering applying to be a deck hand instead of
(36:11):
a stew for to begin with, but she'd have been
she'd been assaulted, and she had also had some weird
work environments with some men that made her uncomfortable, so
she decided she didn't want to work with any men,
so she got the stew job. After she had worked,
she's done like some steward essaying on a catamaran, and
she thought it would be similar, but it really wasn't.
(36:32):
So it was probably best for her to work on
the deck, so she wasn't holding back the team. That
when when uh, what's her name is he was a
stew she made Elizabeth look really good. Yeah, that's true.
That also really bummed me out because then I was like, oh,
the like annoying stuff she went through with the male
crew members on this ship must have just compounded whatever
(36:57):
funked up stuff she had with other I mean, there's
clearly an issue with like sexism, especially above deck. I think.
So whenever they have a female deckhand, it becomes an issue.
I know, because no one or like remember Peter in
Med season where he'd be like alright, sweetheart or whatever. Right,
there's always like a they never just like work normally.
(37:22):
They always make it an issue for some reason, especially
when there's like a female boson or not a Boson
but whatever is. They's job was lead deck hand, but
deckhand when oh so yeah, when Malia got promoted during
her first season, it was because she was hooking up
with the Bosons, so all of a sudden that got overshadowed.
(37:44):
And then when she was the Boson and had a
bunch of guys working for her. Fucking Pete kept calling
her sweetheart and didn't even realize he was doing it
to a point where when they got killed out and
he was just like, we're just trying to figure out
who's been calling you sweetheart. I feel like that's what
happened to here a little bit too. It's like the
guys didn't even realize how much they were undermining Izzy.
(38:06):
So then when she was like, you're undermining me, they
were like, what are you talking about. We're all friends here.
That was terrible. Yeah, And sometimes they're like, well, of
course we're gonna like rib you. You're the boss, and
it's like yeah, but you do it a different way.
When it's a gal. It's always feels like a weird
attempt to like prove prove your masculinity. Weird insecurity, Well,
(38:33):
that was interesting because James is like, we didn't think
we gave her a hard time. Rob just speaks a
certain way so people could take it the wrong way,
and is He's like, no, he wasn't giving good banter.
He was just being a dick. Yeah. Well I like
that when they were doing sort of the like okay,
the classic uh is flirting outlawed? Now is flirting against
(38:54):
the law. It's like, No, that wasn't like flirty, fun banter.
You were being like a dick. Yeah, what what? I
can't call you sweetheart? No more what I'm not allowed
to call you angel tits when we're swabbing the deck together.
I love angel tits. It's a term of endearment. I
love when I'm called angel tits. Actually, so I'm not.
(39:16):
I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one. Um,
but that's because the through DJ name is DJ Angel.
Just you know, me calling you professionally by your professional name.
What's up, I'm Angel tits. I was distracting. I confused
myself by saying angel tits. Um, don't call me angel swits.
(39:38):
So Francesca says, I was never mean, held on Charles
and Ross. I was never mean to Elizabeth. I was
just giving her direction. I never said anything mean to her.
Elizabeth's like, yeah, but you're like really condescending with your tone,
and then Francesca cuts her off, like I didn't think.
I don't think I I enjoy you. Actually, I really
enjoyed you at the beginning. Yeah, I thought you were
(39:58):
fine until I found what a terrible look are you are? Yeah,
and then I turned on you and I made you
my bitch because I hate you. And then we all talk.
We all had little jokes about how much we hide you. Yeah.
Francesca was also dressed like Corrella de Ville. Oh. She
was wearing like a weird dress or coat that had
(40:20):
like black feathers or fur on the front. And then
she was wearing these like silly dangly earrings with like
too many things on them, like everybody was trying too
hard in their own particular way. But she looked very villainous.
(40:40):
And Elizabeth was kind of dressed like a figure skater.
She like she was in like stage makeup, and I
feel like just was not lit correctly for how much
makeup she was wearing. And she was had kind of
a a spangly leotard type thing she did have. Uh,
(41:00):
that's so funny. So that was like a very striking
visual contrast between two tan blonde women who otherwise are
She had a spangly leotard on. You're right, that's hilarious, man, Yeah,
you nailed it. They all had like silly outfits on,
but that's like their idea of like I get to
(41:20):
dress up right. Well, they were dressed for all different events,
which made sense because that's all they were all dressed for,
like their personality, Like Eddie was just kind of preppy.
Captain Lee was like half unbuttoned, you know, seventies lounge,
and and I think James was literally just wearing a
T shirt, like wearing a T shirt and he had
(41:42):
crazy boy band eyebrows. Yeah. And Ashley was wearing something
so boring you can't even remember it. She was literally
just had her hair like kind of waved and then
like a black tank. Yeah. She was wearing like a
sparkly top, like darker hair underneath and blonder on top.
(42:02):
It's a look, it's the look at the Devil. I thought,
isz is he was kind of dressed for a reunion
with like spangly makeup and stuff. I thought she looked great. Also,
she and Rachel were the m v p s. I
think so the style m vps, I think so. I yeah,
I think so. Yeah, because Rachel's was wearing like a
nice powder blue top, no big deal, had her hair
(42:25):
looking nice, her makeup wasn't too overstated. Once I started
talking about eyebrows, then I was like doing a close
look at everybody's eyebrows. What did you discover? Well? I
just thought I was like, oh, Rachel's like not too overdone,
Like it's got it's got an arch and it's done
up a little bit, but it's not too too done.
(42:47):
I can dig it. Yeah, let's take a quick commercial
break and we'll come back and finish out this reunion.
And we're back. So they're talking about the interior and
Ash is like, yeah, we all worked really well together,
I thought. And then she's like and Elizabeth like, how
(43:10):
long have you been even like working in yachts? Like
five years? And I thought that was weird because literally
last week or the week before she had been like,
you've been working on yachts for like four and a
half years now, on and off. So it's like, oh,
all of a sudden, it's five years and you don't remember,
Like you're being a bit. Also, the way they kept
saying on and off, like you all work on and off,
(43:33):
that's how the industry works. Yeah, I don't understand why
they're constantly trying to like push that, and they're like
basically Ash and Francesca start to double team Elizabeth and
be like, yeah, you worked on and off, so you
really didn't learn enough. You didn't really get the hang
of things. They were being so condescending and being like, yeah,
you don't really get this, you can't you can't hang
(43:55):
with the big dogs clearly, and then pretty much no,
but he was backing up Elizabeth no, and then they
would be like, yeah, so, like you know, yawning is
not for everyone, Like they were just like telling her
how it is, and it's like, you don't know her life,
you don't know her experience, so stop, maybe, like you
guys are being bitches, sorry to say it, back off,
(44:17):
and Elizabeth does stand up for herself and she's like, well,
you guys were kind of being bullies towards the end,
and if you had shipped to say, just sit to
my face if you had any issues and ash just
like you wanted me to like cause problems by being
honest with you instead of just talking ship behind your back.
Like that's literally what she said. Basically. Yeah, She's like, oh,
you wanted me to not be fake and not be
(44:38):
a fake ass bitch to you all the time and
not pretend that we get along even though I'm like
ship talking you constantly to our shared supervisor. Yeah, and
she's like yeah, yeah, that's that's exactly. Yeah. It was
so absurd. I was like what what, I don't know anyway,
Francesca and asked defend themselves, and they're bullying is a
(45:00):
strong word. Um, And then Francesca's like, yeah, well, like
people were talking about me behind my back the entire time,
to which Rachel's like, yeah, you know, I was just frustrated.
They're both like, we weren't bullying, and then they just
like bully her for another ten minutes. You like, shut up, Elizabeth,
you don't know what you're talking about. They're like, we
weren't bullying her. We just think that she's a loser
(45:22):
and she should go kill herself. And also, um, she's
ugly and everybody hates her, so I don't know why
she's so upset fucked up. And then like Ash just
keeps being like, look, you're just not cut out for yachting. Okay,
you're just not cut out for yachting, and it's like stop,
just stop, we get it, just stop saying like she
was becoming like Malia in that moment where Malia just
(45:45):
kept going on about maritime law with Hannah, and it's
like these psychos who work on the boats, who like
have this idea of yachting us this like this vocation
that it's more than just a job, which is like,
maybe that's true for the captain in because he literally
drives the boat, but they clearly, like so many of them,
(46:07):
define their entire selves in terms of being people who
work on boats. And it's not that deep. I feel
like you can just work on a boat and then
like go live your life. It doesn't have to be
this like only the strong survive because again, like Hannah
was the best Chiefs Too that has ever existed, and
(46:29):
even if she smoked a little reefer on a boat,
you know. Yeah, I'm just saying there's like letter of
the law and spirit of the law when it comes
to maritime law. I don't know if I thought Hannah
was the best. I think I thought Kate was the best.
I thought Hannah was the best TV Handah was just
good TV. But we can spend all of the chief
(46:50):
Stews tri show debating who's the Kate Hannah. Yeah, yeah,
that's true. We could do that. We just list off
all their the highlights, because I do think Kay was
the best, but I think at the end they were
just all fed up. They both did burn out. Yeah, yeah,
(47:10):
they were definitely burned out. And I can understand because
like one, you probably just like I also think on
like Hannah's and she got a lot of heat, like
people just like mean to her online all the time.
She just like didn't want to do it anymore. She
was always talking about how she like had to go
to therapy and like get like that also sounds like
she had a better balance than some of the other
(47:32):
people because she was like, it's just a job. I'm
going to go have a real life. Yeah that's true.
Good for her. I mean, I hope she's doing well
her baby. She started a yachti training academy, right which
e J. Do you remember e J? From that season,
Nico was like the lead deckhand and there was no Boston,
(47:54):
and then Captain Lee hired e J to come in
and like take charge of things, and then Nico was
just piste off and bitter the whole time. E J
says that Hannah stole his her entire plan, like her
whole yachting class plan from his yachting class plan. Like
I don't know if it's truema. He is not impressed anyway.
(48:18):
So Elizabeth says she's worked with people like Chief Studs
and other studs who don't think she's an idiot. So
it appears that these women are just kind of being
aggressive towards her, And Captainlee says Francesco was right about
her about Elizabeth and there were a lot of things
going wrong and that she's just not meant to be
a Yatti. And then Elizabeth's like, well, She's like, thank
(48:39):
you Captain Lee for that, but like I do think, like, um,
he didn't really get to know me as a Yatti,
and I think your opinion is bias and you didn't
see all the great things I did. Was like like,
she's like, your opinion is biased, But I did think
what she was saying was that Captain Lee was talking
about stuff he'd heard from Francesca. Captain Lee was trusting
(49:04):
that Francesca was not by us. Steven though Francesco was
just like She's the worst person that I've ever worked
with in my entire life. But I also think he
was just going off what he saw on the show,
and like what he saw on the show, I didn't
even think that was that bad, like the show didn't
display it to be like absolute dogs again the mustard
gas that was bad, heard bad that pretty quick. But
(49:29):
having sex in a guest room not during a charter,
they hadn't gotten caught. Yeah, Ashley fucking him. I'm fine
hop sex in the engine room like everybody else where.
There's no cameras. Yeah, exactly, because and the engineers just
have to watch. Yeah, baby, they like to watch. But anyway,
(49:51):
Kapitally basically says, Elizabeth's in denial, um. And then they
asked about the cake situation when her cake came out
for her birthday didn't but she'd already been fired, And
Elizabeth says the cake thing was pretty weird and looked
a little malicious because people were laughing. She wishes she
could have thanked Rachel in the moment, and Rachel thinks
that Elizabeth should have just finish the season because there
(50:12):
are only two charters left. And Francesca's like, you don't understand.
I was exhausted. She's like, my life was a living hell. Yeah,
how dare she? But also yeah, because COVID was clearly
in the air. Yeah, And so Francesca claims that she
wasn't laughing when the cake came about Elizabeth not being there,
because it hadn't even registered in her mind that the
(50:33):
birthday cake was for Elizabeth, Like they just like weren't
that close, So she wasn't even thinking about Elizabeth in
that moment. But who fucking knows, uh. And then Andy
Cohen asks Elizabeth and Francesca to say positive things about
each other, and Francesca's like, yeah, I really enjoyed working
with you at the beginning, you know, I thought we
really got along well. And then Elizabeth's like, there was like,
(50:55):
you know, a lot of positive stuff, like you were
really open with me and we got to talk about
things and I got to know you. And then Captain
Lee laughs and it's like they asked you to say
positive things and she's like, what I just did? She did?
She's like, is that not a positive thing to say?
Someone was like open with you? That was weird. I
(51:16):
was like, Captain Lee was like listening, that was weird?
Was that not weird? I was like, what it was weird?
And I was also like Captain Lee asked the Captain
you should withhold from yeah, being like a crew drama
that was not a good look, I was like, full,
you're clearly one not listening because she did just say
(51:36):
positive ship about Francesca. A couple too many espresso martini
is all around. Perhaps those tinted glasses are messing with
his hearing. Yeah, and then we learned that Josiah was
actually supposed to take over for Elizabeth, but he was
like stuck at the airport because the coronavirus and Captain
Lee thinks he would have been a great addition. And
that is where the reunion ends. Wow, good reunion. Yeah.
(52:03):
I like that they didn't make it a two parter.
Was pretty discinct. We got through everyone's drama. I do
love that. Like, Ashley had nothing going on, so they
didn't ask her really anything, and that's I think that's
why she kept inserting herself because they she knew if
she didn't, no one would even speak to her. Well,
that's how she's like a beta to a mean girl
because she needs somebody to boss her around. They spent
(52:26):
more time on Shane than they did on her because
she's so boring. Well, she didn't offer anything other than
being like Francesco is like little you know minion. Yeah,
but yeah, they barely even talked about the guests. They
didn't talk about like the woman jumping off the ship
at all. Oh yeah, Doris. Yeah. They briefly mentioned her
(52:48):
at the beginning and that was it. They didn't talk
about the like the idiot sons, Oh my god, those
I did like that. Actually at the beginning, Captain Captain
Andy Cohen is like Ashley, and how's your stomach ache?
Because that's like it, yeah, should nothing else to offer?
You got a weak stomach? That's your personality? All right,
(53:12):
you dummy by you can leave. We don't need you.
And she like can I just like input that. Elizabeth's
like not very good at this. It's like, thank you.
Maybe your stomach hurts because you ate too much of
the spike cake. Maybe your stomach hurts because you're an asshole,
that's right. I don't know. Well that's the end of that, guys.
(53:35):

I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
