You don't wake up dreaming of

1:58

2:03

up

2:05

dreaming

2:07

of

2:10

McDonald's

2:12

hash

2:15

browns.

2:19

McDonald's

2:22

breakfast

2:25

comes first. where we take

2:28

over up in Adams podcast

2:30

to talk about our favorite

2:33

show below deck. And in

2:35

this instance, it's below deck

2:38

down under. We are on

2:40

season three and this season

2:42

is honestly great guys.

2:45

It's consistent. It's fun.

2:47

We've had a lot

2:49

of like chaotic incidences.

2:51

Some embarrassing moments, some

2:53

cringe feel or cringe

2:55

filled romances that just

2:58

continues. So Good job production. This

3:00

is a great season. Um,

3:02

guys, welcome back. Okay, so

3:04

if you haven't been following

3:06

along with Anchor Watch, uh,

3:08

when we've been talking about

3:10

below deck down under, then you

3:13

gotta go check it out. If you

3:15

have been following along, you will

3:17

know that Vahan is in a

3:19

complete freaking free fall. And not

3:22

like a graceful free fall. This

3:24

guy is just... slowly deteriorating in

3:26

front of our eyes. All right?

3:29

So the guy, this Bo-sen, who

3:31

started this season so gung-ho

3:33

that he's gonna be best

3:36

friends with Captain Jason by

3:38

the end of the season, is just

3:40

capsizing in front of

3:42

us. I wanna use that word

3:45

because we just had a jet

3:47

ski capsize in the middle of

3:49

the ocean while he was too

3:51

busy contemplating his boat mances and...

3:53

what girl he's gonna talk to

3:56

and you know we we just have

3:58

so much this episode from the

4:00

jet ski drama to weird love

4:03

triangles that keep going in these

4:05

weird directions. Very very questionable management

4:07

skills from the Han himself and

4:10

of course we have Captain Jason

4:12

in a row. So let's jump

4:14

right into this episode. All right

4:17

guys so we kick off this

4:19

episode with last week's jet ski

4:21

disaster. So just a little recap

4:24

if you don't remember. Vahan ignored,

4:26

literally everybody's warnings about sending out

4:28

this jet ski that wasn't properly

4:31

drained. So if a jet ski

4:33

isn't drained and it's full of

4:35

water, it is going to sink.

4:38

So surprise, surprise, that's what happens.

4:40

The the guests are out on

4:42

kind of a playday, out on

4:45

the on the water, using the

4:47

toys, kind of having a wreck

4:49

day, and Johnny is on a

4:52

jet ski with one of the

4:54

guests. coincidentally happens to be our

4:56

non-swimming guest, and is thrown overboard

4:59

by the jet ski because it

5:01

is actually sinking. If water is

5:03

inside the jet ski, how is

5:06

it going to float? This is

5:08

just crazy. Now, before anybody panics,

5:10

India, who is our guest who

5:12

can't swim, is totally fine. And

5:15

last week, I was talking about

5:17

how I think... production is kind

5:19

of fooling us a little bit

5:22

giving us that cliffhanger but in

5:24

reality it's not that big of

5:26

a deal and thank goodness it

5:29

did not turn out to be

5:31

that big of a deal but

5:33

Johnny takes care of everything super

5:36

calm gets India calm and Vahan

5:38

is the one freaking out which

5:40

is just really ironic it's it's

5:43

crazy meanwhile Vahan he's like Completely

5:45

oblivious to the fact that a

5:47

$20,000 piece of equipment is slowly

5:50

sinking. And when he finally reacts,

5:52

it's basically, oh yeah, my... Maybe

5:54

we shouldn't have put the jet

5:57

ski in. Dude, come on. Now,

5:59

we have to take a second

6:01

and talk about how expensive of

6:04

a mistake this was. Because a

6:06

jet ski can cost literally from

6:08

anywhere from 10 to $20,000. And

6:11

that's just a base model. You

6:13

know, if you want to add

6:15

all the luxury yacht modifications, I'm

6:18

sure they have plenty, you know,

6:20

signage. Things that make it very

6:22

specific, you're talking to Chiching, all

6:25

right? You're talking big money, way

6:27

more than 20 grand. And in

6:29

the world of Super Yachts, every

6:32

mistake basically costs someone's salary. So

6:34

let's just hope that Captain Jason

6:36

has enough patience to keep up

6:39

with this guy, because right now

6:41

it's not looking good. All right,

6:43

let's jump over to the never

6:46

ending chaos between the stews. We

6:48

have Serena in the galley who

6:50

literally is whipping up great food.

6:53

I mean, yes, are we seeing

6:55

a lot of curry again and

6:57

again and again? Yes, but at

7:00

this point, the guests are happy.

7:02

So that's what matters. I mean,

7:04

I don't know if I was

7:07

paying six figures to go in

7:09

a luxury yacht if I would

7:11

want the same meal every night,

7:14

serve different ways, but if the

7:16

guests are happy, that is exactly

7:18

what counts. And... I can tell

7:21

you the one thing that the

7:23

guests were not into this episode,

7:25

and that was the complete chaos

7:27

of dinner service. Marina, who I

7:30

go back and forth on right

7:32

now, I don't know where I

7:34

really sit with Marina, I don't

7:37

know how you guys feel, but

7:39

she's basically right now holding the

7:41

interior team together, you know, barely,

7:44

because when she's going to turn

7:46

down the cabins at night, Adair,

7:48

who comes down to help Marina,

7:51

she turns down the bed. or

7:53

a couple of beds, and then

7:55

she just disappears. I mean, girl,

7:58

you did the bare minimum. So,

8:00

like, even Vahan is shocked. That's

8:02

saying something. Vahan is shocked that

8:05

all she did was make the

8:07

beds. It's kind of crazy. Now,

8:09

fun fact, on superyots, stews are

8:12

expected to turn down cabins in

8:14

about 20 to 30 minutes. That

8:16

means everything from making the bed,

8:19

cleaning the bathroom, getting some fresh

8:21

towels, and doing kind of a

8:23

quick refresh. So you know, when

8:26

you come back into your room

8:28

after dinner, your beds turned down,

8:30

things are properly put away. It

8:33

just kind of blows my mind

8:35

that every season of below deck

8:37

you have one or two stews

8:40

or deck hands or mixed positions

8:42

that that don't want to do

8:44

the work or are like no

8:47

that's too much for me. You

8:49

are on a yacht. You were

8:51

hired to do this. You should

8:54

know those expectations. So the minute

8:56

Adair says I don't do bathrooms

8:58

and how's that moment, let's just

9:01

say if Kate Chastain we're here.

9:03

She would be sent packing right

9:05

now walking to plank But that

9:08

is the truth All right, let's

9:10

talk about the captain's lounge and

9:12

the little adventure that our guest

9:15

got on their final night of

9:17

their charter Captain Jason is in

9:19

nothing but a robe and he

9:22

introduces the guest to kind of

9:24

this private yacht club experience and

9:26

that's kind of fun because Normally

9:29

we don't have so much space

9:31

on these yachts on below deck

9:33

where there's another private area or

9:35

a whole other lounge or a

9:38

whole different place. And here we

9:40

have one, which is kind of

9:42

fun. And of course, this is

9:45

below deck, so things are going

9:47

to take a turn for the

9:49

best or the worst, depending how

9:52

you look on it, or how

9:54

you look at it. Because Lara

9:56

has convinced Vahan that he should

9:59

be a makeshift stripper for the

10:01

night. I don't know what was

10:03

more uncomfortable of the Huns half-hearted

10:06

like lap dance or the fact

10:08

that marina is still clinging to

10:10

the idea that they had a

10:13

romantic date. And even though he's

10:15

been ignoring her for days, she's

10:17

still interested. It's crazy to me.

10:20

And then, Serena, who I left

10:22

off with on last, the last

10:24

episode that we recapped, I said,

10:27

Serena deserves better, but she is

10:29

still fully enthralled with Vahan. Like...

10:31

Like it's her last night on

10:34

earth she has to have this

10:36

guy and she did this with

10:38

culver before you know last season

10:41

on below deck town under and

10:43

I just hope that she veers

10:45

left and exits stage right get

10:48

out just get away from this

10:50

guy because it will be the

10:52

free fall of her too but

10:55

to be honest watching this moment

10:57

was just funny there were so

10:59

many awkward pauses and misplaced emotions

11:02

and kind of a love triangle

11:04

that no one, no one really

11:06

asked for, to be honest. And

11:09

we gotta talk about some of

11:11

these boatmances, because it's just funny.

11:13

It's just funny. So, Vihan, dude,

11:16

you cannot just make out with

11:18

Serena one night, and then tell

11:20

her you love Adair the next.

11:23

It's like, if you put it

11:25

into a guest perspective, it's like

11:27

ordering surf and turf, sending it

11:30

back. and then suddenly realize that

11:32

you might want that. You know,

11:34

the best part of this though

11:37

is that Adair is just oblivious,

11:39

completely. She doesn't know that Vihan

11:41

likes her. She doesn't know that

11:44

all of this love triangle situation

11:46

is going on. She's just oblivious.

11:48

And every single person on the

11:50

yacht knows Vihan is obsessed with

11:53

Adair, except Adair. Which makes it

11:55

so funny. And I have to

11:57

say. To that Harry is just

12:00

killing me this season because I

12:02

don't know if you guys remember

12:04

last time I said Harry has

12:07

been bravoed. So what I mean

12:09

by bravoed is he drives storylines.

12:11

So every episode you see Harry

12:14

kind of like get into a

12:16

little mess. So let me give

12:18

you an example about Harry being

12:21

bravoed. Because once you learn the

12:23

bravo way, you really kind of

12:25

climb into a different echelon of

12:28

bravo. or like Hannah Ferrier. You

12:30

know, they know how to drive

12:32

storylines. They know how to make

12:35

it interesting and to keep it

12:37

going. So here's the example. Harry

12:39

telling Vahan that he's in the

12:42

dog house because he hasn't talked

12:44

to Marina in three days is

12:46

exactly what I mean. Driving the

12:49

story. I love it, Harry. I

12:51

don't know what's happening here. Because

12:53

this was kind of the boatman's

12:56

that... Kind of took an unexpected

12:58

turn and you thought oh shit

13:00

Harry and Brie could be a

13:03

thing and it could be nice

13:05

and cute, but Brie wants him

13:07

to step up Take some initiative

13:10

maybe send a flirty text or

13:12

do anything romantic, but Harry come

13:14

on. What are you doing? You

13:17

know? No effort no effort from

13:19

Harry and you would think now

13:21

he has this opportunity this great

13:24

girl in front of him. So

13:26

I hope he steps it up

13:28

because this is the boatman's that

13:31

I would actually like to see

13:33

because I don't see any other

13:35

boatman's on this boat going the

13:38

right way. All right guys, so

13:40

we're going to take a minute

13:42

14:47

it out. So cut to the

14:50

crew night out, we have a

14:52

new addition to our crew. And

14:54

that is none other than our

14:57

new shoe stuff. Wow, I just

14:59

said that completely backwards. Our new

15:01

sushi chef, Alicia. Alicia is kind

15:04

of cool. My first impression of

15:06

her is she's fun. She completely

15:08

vibes with the crew. She did

15:11

think the Seychelles was in Jamaica,

15:13

so not a great start to,

15:15

you know, geography here, but at

15:18

least she knows her way around

15:20

the kitchen, which is more than

15:22

I can say for... Some people

15:25

I'm so glad we got rid

15:27

of that old Sioux chef. The

15:29

energy is just so much better.

15:32

That was so draining those first

15:34

two episodes so draining It's nice

15:36

also to have two ladies in

15:39

the kitchen. This is a first.

15:41

We've had you know We've always

15:43

had a female chef on below

15:46

deck You know from Rachel and

15:48

Serena and and the name of

15:50

the one from below deck med

15:53

is I'm forgetting, you know,

15:55

she was fired, so maybe that's

15:57

why I forgot. But it's nice

15:59

to see two ladies in the

16:01

kitchen. And Alicia states that she

16:03

just wants to make Serena proud.

16:05

So let's see how this goes,

16:08

because I have good vibes for

16:10

the kitchen. And maybe Serena's drama

16:12

in the kitchen is over for

16:14

the rest of the season and

16:16

will be paying attention to something

16:18

else. Like maybe Alicia and Johnny

16:20

getting together. Who knows? Johnny? God,

16:22

this guy is so funny, because

16:25

he's just like a mixed bag

16:27

of emotions. But Johnny... What

16:30

do we say about Johnny here?

16:32

He tries to kiss Alicia. Like,

16:34

what? Like, I just feel like

16:36

this might be a slow-burned boat

16:39

mance in the making, and we

16:41

don't need that. Meanwhile, Vahan is

16:43

making out with Serena, before deciding

16:45

dramatically that he just can't. He

16:48

just can't. I need to go

16:50

to bed. Dude, you gotta pick

16:52

a lane, Vahan. I mean, here

16:54

we are. Six episodes

16:56

in, Vahan is still in a complete

16:59

disastrous mess of Boatman's drama. This guy

17:01

can't even focus on his job, let

17:03

alone one girl. It's absolutely insane. So

17:06

here's kind of what we have going

17:08

on, all right? My final thoughts on

17:10

this episode are, just to quickly sum

17:12

it up, Vahan is still a mess,

17:15

and that is professionally and that is

17:17

romantically. for sure. And I said it

17:19

before, and I'm going to say it

17:22

again, Serena deserves better. She just deserves

17:24

a little better, you know. And Brie

17:26

and Harry, they need to communicate because

17:28

we need to see a good boat

17:31

meds. We need to see something work

17:33

out. You know, you had that great

17:35

boatmance years ago with, was it Adam

17:38

and Asia? Was his name Adam, I

17:40

think so, from below deck med. They

17:42

had a great boatman. Yeah, it didn't

17:44

last like when they went off the

17:47

boat off the boat, but... It was

17:49

nice to watch. It was good. Then

17:51

we have Captain Jason who just... This

17:54

remains the MVP of the season as

17:56

he will probably the entire season, but

17:58

Captain Jason's management style and the way

18:00

he runs a boat are just, it

18:03

just makes it so easy to watch.

18:05

You know, he puts his fist down

18:07

when he needs to, but otherwise he

18:10

does let the crew do what they

18:12

need to do. And I think his

18:14

style of management might be my favorite

18:17
