Before you dive into this podcast, pause for a moment, just relax and imagine a moment of true pleasure. It's a normal Tuesday, you're down by the sea in Clontarf, when suddenly you hear the unmistakable sound of... ...and realise it's you, biting into a Magnum classic ice cream. Thick, cracking chocolate, velvety, smooth vanilla ice cream, and... ...hmmm... Nothing cracks like Magnum Magnum true to pleasure yeah that would yeah I thought I love that idea mm-hmm yeah I freaking story worth I love story worth it is pretty cool I made the mistake asking my

grandmother who she lost virginity to one time. Okay Anyway, what was the answer? She said a fat Armenian guy Hi, hello. Welcome to another Brands Bangin' New episode of another Below Deck podcast. My name is Dylan. That is Pat. Hey, great to be here. Hey, great to be here. Patty just got back from Legoland. I'm so excited to talk about that.

You okay? Yeah, we'll discuss that on another podcast show. Patreon.com slash another podcast network Getting the iTunes ratings reviews Spotify ratings and reviews all of that fun stuff it Helps the show greatly if you text it to a friend just go hey Hey these guys they make me smile sometimes they're not that bad anyways, um Okay, so we have an episode of Below Deck to get into. That's right. What do you think? It was a decent episode but you know it's

hard to say like when you have two great episodes back to back, come on, good things can't always happen in threes. No, no they rarely do. That's right. Yeah. It was just okay but it's still interesting. This is definitely up there below deck is back to form The trailer for below deck og drops tomorrow morning That's oh, yeah, and I've been promised that that is in fact a amazing season as well. Is that with Frazier? Mm-hmm Alright Okay, so it was an okay episode. It's starting to heat up on this boat. Multiple romances are starting, like with the new guys. Yeah.

It's pretty unbelievable, or actually not unbelievable at all. No, no, no. It's really, it's commonplace. It makes all the sense in the world. You know, when you think about it with Alicia and Johnny, you think how powerful that love was, or is. Uh-huh. Right? Like, there's a lot of powerful loves out there that they never get to, the love never gets to flourish. Yes. You know in the 40s like men had to go off to war. Yeah. I don't know maybe they got a grenade thrown in the bunker.

Yep. Love didn't get to happen. Romeo and Juliet, the parents forbid the love. Yep. Right? And then sometimes another Sea Rat gets hired on the boat. Wait. Nate shows up. Yeah, yeah, okay. So Nate is like the Montagues' prejudice and or the grenade in the war. Well, yeah, he showed up and he broke up that never ending love between Alicia and Johnny.

Apparently their love was not strong enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think of Johnny as Ryan Gosman, and I think of Nate as James Marsden, you know? And in the end, I think Rach is gonna pick the big Greek. But who knows? Oh, we'll see. Yeah, we'll see.

Well, anyway, I enjoyed the episode. It was interesting to see Nick's fate Let's see. Oh, and then it's really starting to get uncomfortable between Laura and Zarina I have to admit that 48-hour kind of a little bit of crazy that she Inflicted upon Alicia. I you know, I'm a big fan of Zarina. I consider her a friend But I have to tell her face to face. That was nuts. Yeah, and you're out face to face with her right now. Right.

But you would. I'd have to. Yeah. That was nuts. She even admits, I'm sorry. That was nuts. She said, I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm sorry.

She owned it. She owned it. But anyway, I'm going to give it 32 knots. I'm going to give it four knots. I did not think this was a good episode, but listen, you know, they can't all be, you know, the one shot shootout from True Detective episode four. You know what I mean?

Or whatever episode it was, you know, we can't always have people punch in cabinets Then we would lose its luster. I mean think about if we had the winter Olympics every summer wouldn't even make any sense We fun yeah So I never got to episode 4 true detective season 1 I used to watch we did Sunday TV nights with a group of people and after episode 3 were like this is a little too slow for the group Let's turn it off, and is a little too slow for the group let's turn it off and then I heard too slow for the group yeah and then by episode four that's when it really started getting amazing but it was amazing from frame one not really yeah though it's what

they call a slow burn if you ever see that as a description for a film you're about to take over what you clear your throat you guys watched multiple seasons of of Girls though, right? We did. Okay. Now I love Girls. I think Girls is great, but made it to episode three of True Detective. We also watched, in that time period, I want to say Californication. Oh, David Duchovny. The Covemeister was fantastic in that show. Marvelous show. You know, we're a lot like him, the character of that show. Was he an English teacher or something? He was a writer. He was a screenwriter. So I didn't like the episode, but listen, the main takeaway from this is that Laura is... Serena's on Shutter Island, once again, smoking cigarettes that aren't there. But Laura is throwing Montague and Capulet kind

of grenades in her galley. Oh yeah, she is. So that's a real thing. A lot of head games. A lot of head games. A lot of head games. So last we left off, we were on a knife's edge. Will Nick get fired for drinking or will he not?

We slam our faces into some glass doors in the morning and shake off the night before. I'm wondering how Laura is still head-butting these doors. She's been on this boat for, as the Sea Rats would say, ages. You know, now we get to this whole marina on service thing. Captain Jason wants Marina on the picnic crew. He wants all tides to lift all of the boats and Laura has no interest in that. She wants to get through the season. That's true. Alright, so a few more things to break down here, Dill, because we set up a lot of things. This one of the first scenes that we see is Alicia showing up for her

shift six minutes late because she was in fact still in love with Johnny at this point. Right. So they exchanged texts and then she shows up in the galley and Zarina's not too happy about it and she begins to be a little passive aggressive. I thought that was just going to last maybe an hour or so. I didn't realize it was going to be two full days of that when that was taking place. And then the rum tasting gets laid out. I will share my thoughts on rum later. I think it's disgusting.

Yeah, I'm not a big rum, rum guy. And then where you left it, Dill, Captain Hot Pants explains to Laura that Marina must be allowed to do service at some point. And it's a win-win for everyone. OK, because he wants to help people grow. And you apparently haven't lived until you've put a correct fork in front of someone or put a salad down well listen putting a salad down in front of somebody's a lot better than scrubbing shit off a porcelain bowl but again Laura has no interest in letting this happen at all she is cut throat she definitely pushes back now I want to say

this for service training work at Red Lobster in the off season, please. Where there's no room for on the job training as far as old patties concerned, because I've experienced this myself. You know, I frequent the franchise subway quite often. Oh, you're talking about fast dining. That's right. Yeah. And multiple times, and I'm not a dick about it, but they training a sandwich artist okay and they are explaining as they're making my sandwich mm-hmm I have to tell you I get quite annoyed I don't want someone who's not properly trained in the sandwich artistry working on my sandwich they could mess it up yeah yeah you know I watched an amazing video the other day on and I mean amazing I was

glued to it for like 15 minutes. It was a Wall Street Journal video about how the new Chili CEO has really turned the business around. Oh yes he has. I feed the ins and outs of the redemption arc of Chili's, you know, because everybody thinks, oh it's it's the triple dipper and it's just the mozzarella stretch. There are so many choices that are made at the C-suite level. And this guy in his quarters, it really broke everything down.

Did you know that they used to have two different times of chicken crispers? There was a panko and there was an extra crispy chicken crisper. I didn't know that. Well, the breading station is too small to accommodate two different types of chicken crispers. And so they said, you know what? Panko is great.

People love the Panko, but it only makes up 20% of our sales. So we're going to get rid of the Panko chicken crisper. And ever since they did that, they've really streamlined their fried chicken. And it's really helped the business quite a lot. I'll tell you what, Dale. We can talk about data all we want, but I've seen it with my eyes. I drive by that one location in Encino

Inventora Boulevard. There's a line out the goddamn door on Friday night. Oh yeah, Chilly's is big time back. But anyways, we're talking about learning on the job and Laura is, she's a cutthroat B and she just, she does not care about elevating the CVs or experiences that the C-R Rat she wants to get to the end of the season With as much money in her pocket as can possibly in many ways Dylan. I like her approach Why is it her job? Why is it her duty? Yeah to get someone to reach their potential, right? Jason you don't have to do captain Jason. Excuse me respect. Yeah, you do't have to, Captain Jason, excuse me, respect. You do not have to suffer the consequences of this. You're not splitting tip money. How dare you? How dare

you insert yourself in this? How dare you disgusting pig? Now listen, the high five quota has been set. Nate and Harry are really, really getting along. They're two golden doodles in a ball pit. Laura has to have a chat with Serena. Okay I'm confused by this because Laura at this point is insistent upon at least one department head being at that goddamn rum tasting and picnic. Yeah. Why? And if you got a stick up your ass about this, Laura Why don't you go there you go? Why don't you go? I completely have Serena's back on this one. Yeah, it's a

It's a big stick emotional manipulation kind of thing that Laura's doing She's really trying to cyclically wound Serena, bend her to her will. And you know, poor Serena is really falling prey to it. It's working. You think so? Oh yeah, flawlessly. I don't know. Well, I mean, if you mean she wants to sabotage Serena, she's doing her good job. She's not getting her in line, per se. It's just pissing her off. No, no, no, no. She's not trying to get her in line. She's trying to destroy her.

Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nicholas rehearses the the spiel He's gonna give to Captain J man hot ass J man about how he nipped a little tequila last night with the PR people from Dubai And we get a little secret history. Oh, well, we kind of do his dad was a hot-ass pirate He was dad was an awesome dude and everything he did was awesome. Yeah. And Nick's not that. Nick is a nerd. Well Nick is a nerd. He's a little bit of a nerd but he speaks like a prince and he's uh you know he's open for business so he can't be that big of a nerd you know what I mean? Now uh true I do want

to point out once again just because you've seen all the Star Wars movies does not make you a nerd. Well, the people in the shard cast, be it Weevil, Wit, Nail, you know, they all have different names. Cool. If Marina tried to stick her tongue down their throat, they'd have a panic attack possibly shit their pants and run away so yeah those are nerds. Nick didn't have that problem. Now so Dylan you pointed out that he practiced this and I was thinking that's an experience that we've all had. Yeah. Where we did something wrong we need to own it we gotta practice our wording

for once for example I had to tell someone I left their gate open Let their dog out. He died. Well, I Reported to them that the car that took him out. It's pretty quick Yeah, so I Was kidding Were you? Yeah. Okay. I have let dogs out of gates accidentally before though. Yeah. It's not my responsibility. It's so funny my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law was dating this guy and they were like we you know we trust you so we want you to house it. Left

the door open. Cat ran out. Never saw it again. Really? This is, wait, this is who? My sister-in-law was house setting for her, the person she was dating, his parents' house. Like a 16, 17-year-old cat, just a family heirloom, a spiritual heirloom. I mean, they love this thing more than anything, more than their children. She was like, hey, I'm sorry,

I left the door open, it's gone. Killed, probably, We have no idea. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Yeah, super awkward.

Whoa. Yeah, I played golf with the kid. He was like, yeah, it was bad. My mom was crying for like five days straight. I was like, Jesus. Yeah, that's tough. I'm going to say that the relationship didn't work out. No, it didn't work out.

OK. They couldn't get over that speed bump. Good. Yeah. Get the comments. Let us know if you've ever presided over the death of someone else's animal, actually. OK.

We get to the distillery. We rub a little booze on our legs, and Serena heads over with the gang. She's got to unveil the courgette quiche the potato salad and she's freaking pissed yeah and her time there was less than a tortoise sex sesh it was like 38 seconds yeah I don't know if you knew this Dylan but the male tortoise is a very selfish lover in the bedroom now quick question is that a made made up stat about nature and animals? No, no, no, no. I believe the tortoise expert had pointed that out. It's very

quick. Really? Yes. A few grunts. I'm going to look that up right now. Okay. Okay. Their nickname, I don't know. It's in a different language, but I believe it's trans translated to two pumppump chump. To tortoises climax. The time it takes for a tortoise to climax varies. Oh. Maybe if you had a couple. Mounting the male will then move to the female's rear and mount her.

Some tortoise species like the smaller Russian tortoises may make soft squeaky sounds during breeding, while larger tortoises such as Galapagos tortoises make louder moaning sounds. There's no specific time frame for the climax. Somebody's got to get on that. I mean, why do we not have this data? I agree. Someone should pay for a study. Yeah, I mean, without this person conducting that study, we have lollygagging intellectually

irresponsible people like yourself going around calling these people to pump jumps and selfish lovers. I know. I read it somewhere. OK. Jesus, man. Somebody's got to protect them. It's been written. Okay, so we get to Nick letting Jason know about the drink.

He really says it with his chest and he owns every drop of it. I'm glad Captain Hot Pants pointed out, it's your first day. Yeah. Because that's a big part of it. I'm glad Captain Hot Pants pointed out, it's your first day. Yeah. Because that's a big part of it I'd say. This is definitely an issue. But you're remorseful. You came up here, you said it with your fucking chest. Think we could put this behind us. That's exactly what they did. That's what they did. Yeah. Who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who really thought he was going to get fired? I did. Jesus. I did. Okay. So Lauren, that's embarrassing. That I thought that? Yeah. Why? That's like thinking Indiana Jones is going to die. Oh my god, all sorts of theories going around you're into conspiracy theories. You do a shot really?

I'm so over people that are they had They had Z on watch what happens live. Yeah. Yeah, we love see we loves very boring television though And some theorize that he was on there because Nick was going to be fired and the next episode was gonna have Z show Oh interesting. So we need to reintroduce him. Zee was great. Zee was such a sweetheart. And when he drank, he drank.

Oh, did he really? Oh, yeah. You know when the eyes roll into the back of the head, but the vertebrae is still upright? OK, yeah. That kind of thing. Anyways, just Zee Rat stuff. So Laura and Serena more fighting a bit.

Um, you know, I feel like it was, so what Laura is really saying is how long were you there? Did you spend any time with the gas? Well, as a Rena kind of like pops off, she's like, it was one of the biggest wastes of time in my life. And Laura takes offense to that because, means that she's fighting back. She's agitated. She's not fully succumbed to the psychological manipulation.

What Laura wants is for Serena to come back, make her a sandwich, and say thank you. That was a great idea. But she doesn't get that. She gets pushback. So she's got a little bit more work to do. Nick and Marina, now he's sweating a bit He's a bit of a prude. Don't you think? He could be pretending to be that I'm not feeling nerd, especially what happens later in the episode

I'm feeling nerd big time Yeah, I'm definitely feeling nerd what a nerd make out on the dance floor with us basically a stranger Would a nerd make out on the dance floor? Was this basically a stranger? In a panicked way, yeah, I think so. Seemed like he was into it. I don't think he was panicking. You think? I think he's playing up the nerd thing.

You think? Mm-hmm. You don't trust him. I don't know, and I've spoken with him. Nick, I don't trust you yet. I don't trust you. We'll see. Well, he does speak like a prince prince and his first kiss was when he was

19 years old. Which that's pretty late for a first kiss. I agree. Most of us if you had sex for the first time at 19 that's pretty late. Yeah. Yeah. When did you lose your V? 14. 14. Couldn't wait to get it out of the way. Yeah. I lasted less time than that tortoise. Well, the tortoise is very So they're actually not selfless lovers. How old was the the gal you lost it to 16. Oh, that's pretty tight Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's pretty cool What was your first kiss? Like a real kiss, yeah That's probably the same year.

Oh wow. Yeah. Rapido. Good lord. That's what's so concerning about these young people. It really speeds up. It goes from zero to 69 in like four seconds. Yeah.

Now they're spitting in each other's mouths. Oh yeah. I mean it's crazy. Spitting each other's butts. Is that right? Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty wild. I was gonna take a second to get to an ad break but I think they might not be happy with that. Let me do it meanwhile. Okay, meanwhile Nick goes on the I F'd Up tour for some reason to which he's like I you know I took a shot and I think for most of the people he was telling that to I believe they were

asking themselves why why why is he did you get fired yeah doing it yeah why are you telling why are you talking to me about this yeah unless you're packing your bags and leaving like talk to me about this yeah cook I want to do that ad no I want to talk about burnt garlic dull fusion with a chickpea cinnamon eggplant curry. Was this the lunch? This is lunch. No.

What were your thoughts on lunch? Because it looked delicious. Oh, it was a lovely spread at the distillery. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And talk to me about rum real quick. You said we were going to talk about rum. Well rum well I was just gonna say it's my least favorite type of alcohol and I don't like a lot of hard alcohols and this is my I like you'd have to pay me to drink rum really straight like that it's

disgusting it's like drinking maple syrup I hate it well you know it like rum is like the true like spirit aficionados spirit. Is that right? Oh yeah people who were like have like tattoos of sailors and stuff like those kind of things and like they wear like Doc Martens and they're really into like mixology. They all like rum. You know what they make rum out of right? Coconuts? Sugar cane. Oh yeah because I don't know if a lot of people know this you can make alcohol out of almost anything you can make alcohol out of milk if you let it sit there for a fucking year yeah it will

turn into alcohol sugar cane is disgusting. What do you mean sugar cane's disgusting sugar cane's delicious? Well as an alcohol. Oh okay. I hate rum. Yeah. Last time I drank rum earnestly, it was in New Orleans and I fell asleep on a toilet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely fell asleep on a toilet. And yeah, I drank a fifth. Man, it's so crazy how much we used to be able to drink. I drank a fifth of rum to myself. Mm-hmm. If I, I couldn't do a shot of it now. No. No.

I mean, in college I was trying to show off I drank a half a bottle of tequila and then blacked out. Yeah. And then show up to class the next day. It was the first week of school. Sure. Oh my God. Fun times. Yeah. Listen, all of these memories can be captured in certain ways. Oh yeah. Yeah. You know. And the most

Seriously, it's a very, very cute idea to get for Mother's Day. Just do it. You know what I was thinking of doing? I was going to have the email go out to all my ex-girlfriends. Like, what was Pat like as a boyfriend? Things like that and compile all those stories, turn it into a book, and then hand it to my great grandchildren. Uh-huh. That would be really good. I would, yeah. That would, yeah.

I love that idea. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I freaking love it. Story worth. It's pretty cool. I love story worth. It is pretty cool.

I made the mistake of asking my grandmother who she lost virginity to one time. OK. That's a crazy answer. Anyway, what was the answer? She said a fat Armenian guy. I didn't even know his name. Okay. I was like, oof, I wish I didn't ask that. Where was she living? In Massachusetts. Okay. It's not about the fat Armenian guy, it's the combo of your great grandmother and him.

And I would imagine the sweat. Well, the point I was making is, I guess I'm kind of glad that I know that. Why? I know something about her, you know? Yeah. She's gone now. Yeah. Did you know other things about her that weren't so disgusting? Yeah, she hated my grandfather. With a passion.

Really? Yeah. Really? Yeah. They stayed together for the kids, huh? Yeah, financial reasons too. And his one request is he did not want to be left to die in a hospital. Uh-huh. And she made sure that happened. Really? Yeah. Really? Wow. Cold. Well, you know, it wasn't too nice to her. Really?

No. You smack her around? I don't want to. This isn't, we're not doing the ad anymore. No, no, no. We're not doing the ad anymore. Yeah, I don't think it's too nice to her. Well, if you smack somebody around,

then they have full reign to leave you in a hospital rotting until you die, you know so Shouldn't have done that. I agree, right? You know and that's why you're here and you're like and I have apple juice and they're like we're not ready It's not time for that and and what they don't know is he wants one last sit because he knows he's about to go He's never gonna have apple juice again. So he can't wait for the rounds, you know, she lived 20 more years Yeah, she did it her way Yeah

Much respect Grammy. Yeah way to go Grammy. All right, let's get back to the episode Burnt garlic dull fusion with chickpea and cinnamon eggplant curry that is for dinner. Okay, so this is the lavish Dubai night Yes, and when Zarina tells her what the dish is called Laura rolls her eyes plant curry that is for dinner. Okay so this is the lavish Dubai night. Yes and when Zarina tells her what the dish is called Laura rolls her eyes. Well Laura that's the dish. Now Dylan. Laura that's the dish Laura don't roll your eyes that's the dish. That is the dish but I think she included every single spice on the planet Earth in that thing? Mmm cinnamon and curry. No just really just cinnamon. That's it? That's the only spice. It seemed like a very convoluted food description. I mean it beat the hell out of anything I've seen on Chopped. Yeah I mean it was a little long but

that's the dish. Maybe I'm just... Listen, Laura's engaging in psychological warfare, so you can get a complicated menu item sent back to you. Okay, now, Zarina at this point believes that Laura is fully messing with her and grooming her potential replacement. And I was thinking, come on, Zarina, she's not doing that. She is. She is.

She is. Now little thing not a lot of viewers probably caught this but ol' Patty watches this because I'm a detailed mother-effer. Minutes later Harry checks in with Serena about the Laura situation and he claims to her that he hasn't heard anything but he just wanted to check in on Zarina about what was going on between her and Laura. Harry we see what you're doing there it's devious and also you are a world-class shit star I think you have locked your role in here for at least two more seasons. Oh yeah he's a catty little skank. He is secret

secretly he's a real big shit star. Yeah yeah way to go here Bear. So lemon and thyme risotto with corn-fed chicken is up next. Feed them corn when you're really trying to jack the breast size up, you know what I mean? None of this free-range green. I don't know what we feed chickens. You don't feed them grass. I think they eat seeds and shit.

Seeds, I think. Yeah. Well, these ones had corn and they were probably good, but the problem is the dinner wasn't. It was two courses, no dessert, seven pots. Get me out of here. Next morning, next morning, Zarina sees her sous chef come into the galley one minute. She's there for one minute. And Zarina says, get on the eggs, crack a dozen eggs. And she just starts losing her mind at poor Alicia. Day two of poopy pants party. I was not happy about this. I will

say when the two have discourse, it's refreshing to see that no one's yelling. It's uncomfortable, but it's simple. Yeah. Yeah. Did you know, you know, you don't like nerds clusters? I don't like nerds clusters. You don't like that kind of sugar? I don't like that kind of candy. Why don't you like it? It feels like chemicals to me. Does it hurt your tummy? Ah yeah, it hurts my tummy. Okay, can I tell you, so I saw a couple movies over the weekend, saw Warfare and I saw Sinners. So that means I ate some gummies. I ate some gummy candy.

I had some nerd clusters. I had some Sour Patch Kids, right? How do you feel about crunch, crunch clusters? I don't like that kind of, I don't like that kind of candy. Oh, really? Yeah. So my friend goes, you know, you can't eat too much of the gummy candy. You'll get poo gas.

I go, what are you talking about? I've never, and almost as if he cursed me, I got poo gas. It's just a, a, a fucking, when you eat a bunch of sourpats, kids and stuff like that, you get poo gas. Oh, on the East coast, we have a word for that called bubble gut. Yeah, it's bubble gut, but it turns into poo gas. It's really, it's really quite vile. So I'm going to back off the gummy candy. You know, you see all these, these NFL players and they're like, all I eat is skittles and

sure. And I'm like, Oh, that's amazing. I want to do that. But I can't. No. So give you poo gas. Is this episode okay? I think it's so I think it's pretty good so. You think you think it's okay? I think so. Mm-hmm. All right let's move on. All right, we're reminded the anchor can kill you. I wouldn't step near that goddamn thing. The boat heads back and then the guests depart. The guests depart and they leave a tip. that is one of the lowest we've seen all season. Now let's see. 16k? I think we've seen 15k. We saw it was 15k.

Oh it was 15. Yeah it was 15k. There's been a couple of those I think. That's a bad tip. Yeah I know but these guests weren't pains in the asses. What are you doing? What do you mean? What are you doing?

This is the corporate stock syndrome, Stockholm syndrome, once again, rearing its ugly head. Okay. These are people in the service industry. Okay. You tip them well, you tip them. Okay. You don't just freaking, you know, I had a guy named angel at Frida at the

Glenda at the Oaks Galleria. He was a little surly, he was a little sour, but he brought us out our Aguacile and our guacamole. You tip them 20%, 22%, 23% if you're feeling frisky. You don't tip 15% to people or $15,000 to people. You just don't do that. I was just pointing out that I don't think they're the first guests this season to leave 15k But the captain calls him cheap so Marina and a dare first have a little a little chat

I I'm wondering if a dare is micro dosing acid You know what? I mean? She's so odd. She's a real oddball. You think so? Or maybe she's just too normal for these sea rats. She's like a sore thumb. No, no, no, no. I think that she's, I think that she's microdosing acid. She comes up to Marina and she goes, hey I got a little bit of dirt on Nick. Oh right. He's already started with the guests and I got a little bit of dirt on Nick. Oh, right. He's already started with the guests. And I got to tell you, he took a shot with them. I mean, it's like a doctor in Arrested Development,

like some kind of bizarre gag. Yeah. And Marina's like, OK, thank you for letting me know. I thought you. We're saying you had sex with one of them. Yeah. There was definitely some confusion there. Yeah, there was definitely some confusion there

Very confusing a dare. Maybe she's lost without we hand her true love. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well Nick gets the helmet He deserved that yes, and then we get a montage of the crews take on Nick I think the overall opinion is he's a fucking weirdo. Oh, he speaks like a prince. He does speak like a prince kind of and He speaks like a prince. He does speak like a prince kind of and Then we get to Nate and Harry the love continues and it continues all the way to a promotion Nate promotes Harry to lead deckhand and that's all Harry's ever wanted You know, that's all he's ever wanted is to climb the ladder of chaos until he can become a bossin now until he can become a boson. Now, we get to the mutiny.

There seems to be a vortex of Mean Girl aboard this vessel. Brie has fallen into Laura's attempts as well. Yeah, I thought she was above this. By the way, we're gonna be interviewing Brie this week. Are we? Well, yeah, we are. Okay. What time is that?

Noon or so. Okay, all right, sorry. We'll talk about time is that? Noon or something. OK, all right. Sorry. We'll talk about it. I just wanted to tease it. Get in the Facebook if you want to ask questions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get in the Facebook.

OK. So Dylan, they never understand that the crew hall or wherever they sleep is smaller than a goddamn tidy house and the walls are made of paper. When you're talking smack about this person, understand that they can hear everything you're saying. So just as, I think they went and found Alicia, or Brianna pulled her in the bunks,

and then they proceed to start asking her questions to get her to talk smack, to basically elicit her to talk shit about Zarina, just as Zarina walks in and then notices, feels the vibe in the room is off, and they're probably talking about her. Yeah. I feel bad for Zarina here.

I do too. This is, this is. She's an outcast. Yeah, she's, this is a carbon copy of the trauma and the pain she felt as a youth. You know, being a weird Barbie and whatnot. And you know, when Zarina figures out how to fully step into that

that which she is she'll you know she'll be a lot happier but you can't try to go pleasing people like Laura no you just have to be yourself be yourself make your own friend group you don't need to prove yourself to anybody to earn your place in their group no you got to get be friends with the kids who are huffing a keyboard cleaner, you know? Yeah, I mean, they'll listen to you talk and won't judge, but it's mainly because they've passed out. And that's fine. Pass out with them. Wake up, strap yourself to a longboard, bomb down a hill, get hurt. That's what childhood is all about. That's what childhood is all about. It's kind of like that movie 13 with Evan Rachel Wood.

Get a belly button piercing. You know. What did he say? Drop in, tune out? Oh, that guy? What did Larry say? Tune in, tune out. Oh, that guy. What Larry say? Tune in, drop out. Do that. Yeah.

I think he was pretty high when he said that. So well, minutes later, Harry snuggles with his girlfriend and he tells her about the promotion. Doesn't get any better than this still. As a human, your love life and career are on fire. Turn on, tune in, drop out. Turn on, tune in, drop out. He was talking about huffing keyboard cleaner. You know, he was a college professor until he started taking acid.

Yeah, I mean, well, he still taught a lot of people when he was taking acid. I mean, he wrote a book was called What Does Woman Want? Oh, he had a pretty cool coverage, pretty psychedelic. And there's this chick with her boobs out on it. That's interesting. Gosh, I didn't know he wrote so many books that nobody's really read. Hey, don't can we get to some C rat history? Oh yeah, of course. Okay, we have Nate and he offers up, I think, his second Sea Rat history. Here's the breakdown.

This is how he became a Sea Rat. He was a ski instructor. He broke his leg. He got depressed, became a Sea Rat. Zero points. Yeah. In the future, when you're telling this story, why don't you just add in there that a bear attacked you?

And that's why you have a bum leg, because at least that story's interesting. It's still a zero. Yeah. Is that still a zero? It's still a zero. Really? Yeah. How did we get to one?

He's missing a leg. He's missing a leg. So he would have had to lose. Peg leg. Okay, peg leg. And three we get to one? He's missing a leg. He's missing a leg. So he would have to lose. OK, peg leg. And three, dare I ask? No, one. Because he's a lot. No, no, no.

I mean, how do we get to a three? How do we get to a three? Yeah. The bear was on cocaine or something. OK, the bear was on cocaine, and it took his leg? Yeah. Peg leg? OK. And a five? The bear was on cocaine and it took his leg. Yeah peg leg Okay

All right, and a five I have to think about no one's ever achieved a five in the sea rats. I do. Oh, yeah. Yeah She's awesome I want to thank the reviewer that i'd pointed out old patty Deserved a three on the pod rat scale for my brother holding me over a bridge while a train was passing by when I was six years old. Yeah.

I'd say that's about a three. That's brutal. Very scary. I think it's definitely affected me and I haven't dealt with those feelings yet. Yep. Refuses to take a train. I go, Pat, let's take a train up the coast. No thanks.

That's what it's like. OK, so we get to the night out. We're ripping it up, right? We're ripping. We're tearing. were tearing and Big Red and Harry are really really doing great and so Alicia and Sammon are doing great too. Now they cheer to the new they cheers to the new boys Alicia and Zarina head out for a little chat they sucked down a couple Sig Sesh. Yeah it's's a SIGSESH.

Do we have an archivist anymore? I think her name was Sandra. No, I don't think Sandra. Sandra was tired of working 40 hours a week for free. Oh. And we were like listen this is the job. Right. Well if anybody else wants to I guess pick up where she left off, SIGSESH is a new word alert. Please add it to the C-Rac dictionary. SIG SESH. A SIG SESH because a lot of things get worked out with the SIG SESH. Absolutely. Not so much here though. I think when they're talking, I think Z at first is very confused that there is in fact a problem. You know like the Warsaw Pact and stuff like that. Yeah. You know like the Warsaw Pact and stuff like that. Yeah.

Like leaders of nation states, they need some kind of ornate table, right? Yeah. They sit across and they have their liquor and they sort things out, you know what I mean? Sea rats just need cigs. Yeah. And anything you can sit on. A log will do.

Yeah. A log will do. The floor will do. Just as long as there's sigs and gravity. They can really work something out. Yeah, well I thought they'd worked it out here and perhaps they did, it's ambiguous, but then we head out to the nightclub and that's where the drama really unfolds because Laura will not let this go.

Yeah. Laura following Alicia into the bathroom was the nastiest thing. She's the most like, okay, see what you're doing thing that she's done so far going in there after Alicia has said, we have buried it and trying to wedge in this. No, you haven't. She's still mistreating you. I can't stand that antiquated way of industry It's just it's the industry. It's the industry Laura you're leaving Marina in a laundry dungeon for eight weeks and Saying that Serena doesn't know how to manage people ethically. What are you fucking talking about?

Yeah, I hate to toot my own horn here, but the Sea Rats listen, you know, did you notice that she referred to it as the Laundry Dungeon in the episode? I've been calling it the Laundry Dungeon for three years. Okay. Okay. You know, who knows? Maybe it may. All right. Maybe it's yours. Maybe it's yours, but we start getting freaky, right? Oh, yeah. We're drinking the mango mangoes, and we're drinking the mojitos, and we're

starting to do the ruba or the zumba or whatever it is. And the prince and Marina start to suck each other's face a little bit. Oh, yes. Pretty cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, Nate and Alicia starting to make eyes. Make eyes though.

Make eyes. Making fancy. And we end the episode with Zarina and Laura. We'll see what happens next week. They are not in good spirits. Patreon.com slash another podcast network. Five stars, kind words. We'll see you next week. Storyworth, please love you guys very much. I'm Dylan saying goodbye. Pat say goodbye. Later dudes. Love
