We just have to hear everybody else swoon and chrome. Oh, man. And we have to do the dirty work. How's your health right now, by the way? Yeah, how are you feeling?
Starting point is 00:01:12 Everything good? Hey, yeah. He said he just left the gym. So, well, I mean, yes, I know, but we were watching our show. And we were just making sure we're just checking up on your health, want to make sure you're doing good. Going to the gym is a great sign. Yeah, my leg is making progress every day.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Very good. So am I gonna run a marathon anytime soon? No. I got a surprise for you. I was never gonna run a marathon. So where are you located right now? Where are you based out of? Fort Lauderdale.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I love Florida. I love Florida. I'm so jealous of where you are. But I make this very well known that Florida is my favorite I love Florida. I love Florida. I love Florida. I'm so jealous of where you are, but I make this very well known that Florida is my favorite place on earth. I've been all over the world and I'm very fortunate to travel all the world. Florida, just there's something about Florida. I just love it. I love the smell of the mangoes. I love the smell of the, as soon as you get off the plane, I just use smell Florida. I love that salty air. And I told Bernie, one of these fricking days,
Starting point is 00:02:03 we are going to move there. I'm not sure if winner'm going to have, but we are going to move there one of these days. But you are literally a captain of these big huge beautiful yachts. You've been a captain for what 38 years now. Is that correct? Um, they're about. I really don't remember. 38 around 38 years. You were on 10 season. I started on how it's 35 and I'm, yeah. 38 years. 38 years. You started when you were 35.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Wow. You've had 10 seasons on bravo's below deck. We're hearing rumors that you might not come back. Is that true? Or are you thinking? That's above my pay grade. If they asked me to come back, I would. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Okay. I was wondering because I saw all these rumors. But now I would. Oh, yeah. Okay. I was wondering because I saw all these rumors, but now I see that you're in the gym, you're feeling good. So, rumors of my retirement have been highly exaggerated. I'll get it. Trust me, we get it.
Starting point is 00:02:56 We heard a rumor, yes, like two days ago, that we were pregnant again. They reused our photos from our first ultrasound and reused them again. So we know how the rumor mill works. We also met the voice. How they just make shit up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:09 It's just it we're supposed to be okay with it. It's pretty. And it's like, how is that? I don't know how that's legal. I don't know how they can get away with it, but it just we're supposed to be okay with it. It's like, what are they used to me? It's called clickbait.
Starting point is 00:03:21 They just want everybody to be able to click it and read everything like thinking that it's going to be true Definitely not true. Well, that's good to hear that you might be coming back because I was definitely thinking that it wasn't gonna Be like that if I were invited I would go back whether they're going to invite me back or not. That's up to them. Hey, you're the OG You started this off didn't you? Yes, I did and everyone loves your one-liners. I hear that you are just the one-liner, like King. Jack's is not very good at his. He's never make any sense. Like he says things like... Gonna kill like, you know, two birds with 67 stones or you're gonna walk off a long bridge with a short bridge. I just mess them all up because I'm always in the moment and I feel like I'm a little
Starting point is 00:04:03 dyslexic. So sometimes the words just don't come out right. I think I'm saying right But anyway, your lines are always the best and I'm always like man If I could just be like Captain Lee and just have my zingers. I always think about him after the fact and that's like You know, you're like oh, I should have said this or I should have done you know how it is when you're filming You're like oh, I should have done this. I like this one. Everyone wants to be at captain and until it's time to do captain shit That's an absolute true is. You need a merch shirt. That's your merch shirt right there. As soon as the shit hits the fan and things start to go pear-shaped, yeah, I'll say, here's your four stripes. Can I ask you to give me a one-liter on two different topics. Okay. The first topic I would like to hear
Starting point is 00:04:46 something from you about is Scandival. You know, Tom and Ariana, we're all in the Bravo world. So what would be a one-liner from Captain Lee about Scandival? Putting you on the spot here. I think of Prince were dying of my, that boy couldn't blow his nose. Yes. Oh my gosh. He's just so fast and quick. Did not. Did the point. Can't wait to see him at gravel.
Starting point is 00:05:10 God. Did not. Does the point. Okay. The next one is about Carl and Lindsey. They're a big breakup news. Gosh, that's a tough one because I'm close to both of them. the next one is about Carl and Lindsay. They're a big breakup news. Gosh, that's a tough one because I'm close to both of them.
Starting point is 00:05:28 And it's not really a one-liner, I don't suppose, but I guess if it's not meant to be, it's better to find out earlier than later. Hey, I agree. I agree. Could you imagine if they would have went through this or they would have had kids or whatever? I mean, yeah, it's nobody wants to break up. But if you're you know, if you're going to do it, it's time to do it. It gets really ugly. Yeah, like
Starting point is 00:05:49 shooy, like if this happened after they got married, it was two months after and said it two months before, it would have been a whole different situation, you know, so maybe that will be for the good in the long run. Like I said, it's just important that they got founded out early and everyone's just kind of laying into it. It's their personal business, but you know, being in the reality world, everybody's got to. We don't have personal business anymore, do we, Captain Lay? No. No, our business is everybody's business. I want to talk about this little Twitter feud that you and.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Of course, she brings that up. I can't remember the Twitter feud that you and I had. That you guys had where Jack's blocked Captain Lay for, I think, no reason. Yeah, that was, again, things were putting me on the spot, honey. Love you. I don't even remember what it was. I don't even remember what it was.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Hey, God's on his truth. I honestly don't remember. Okay, but then again, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was honestly on a, a blocking rampage in those days and I blocked anybody that just even looked at me the wrong way, but, um, are you looking at that?
Starting point is 00:06:45 Or remember that, yeah, you did. Yeah, and like I said, we squashed it. We squashed it at John's house. I know, but it's just very funny because I got to read it. It says, this is Jack's. Listen closely to all of those who like to tweet your bullshit to me. Jack's began what appeared to be a message she was hit on Twitter last week. The day you become perfect is the day you can give me your opinion and advice.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Until then, worry about you. Your life will be more fulfilled. And then Captain Lee says, I don't remember that. Do you want me to see if I have this right? You only take advice or listen to opinions of those who are perfect? Well, that certainly narrows the field, doesn't it? And Jack's blocked him just for that comment.
Starting point is 00:07:24 You're not allowed to want up me. You're not allowed. Oh my gosh. I was like, look, try to look it all up and it was cracking me up. It was, he said something like, well, I guess I didn't make the Christmas card list. Well, I'm not embarrassed at all. Did you fix that, Jack? Yeah, I'm not embarrassed at all. Did you fix that, Jacks? I did. We talked about it at John and John and Chrissy Salsby had a chat about it. It was just a mist.
Starting point is 00:07:52 It was dumb. It was stupid. It was one of those things where it's just like, I was on a Twitter rampage. It was known for blocking people. In fact, I had a whole sweatshirt line made of, you know, been blocked by Jacks. There's thousands and thousands and thousands of people that I blocked. I don't know much anymore, but yeah, there was, I've seen some Twitter names blocked by Jax. Blocked by Jax. There's a whole, yeah, there's a whole thing you have to get started. Yeah, it got a little out of hand for a while. I don't do it much anymore. In fact, I don't think
Starting point is 00:08:18 I can't remember the last person I blocked because you had to grow up a bunch. I grew up a lot. I went through a little bit of a, you know, a diva phase where I was kind of like, nobody can touch me and I can say whatever I want, but you get older and you'd be like, why do I care? I don't know why I care. First thing I think if you block somebody, and there's a lot of justifiable reasons
Starting point is 00:08:38 for blocking somebody. Oh yeah. You know, the mean malicious, you know, malicious tweets that you see out there that just come at you you just out of nowhere. Yeah. Just just like, you know, I don't have time for this crap. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:08:52 And it's always the one like I've said this before, you'll get like 20,000 great comments and then you'll get one. That's just and that's the one that sticks with you. You know, it's a kind of profile and it's like they have to follow words. Right, right. And egg is a picture and that's mom and dad yeah and it's always like we what do they always say church lover love God love everybody family first yeah that's always so much. Yeah gosh one vicious tweeted a time. Yeah seriously I know there was another time where Jack said tweeted said that he would like to bartend on a below dick yacht and you were kind of like, oh, it'll definitely be entertaining.
Starting point is 00:09:32 So I would like to hear from Captain Lay. Do you think Jack's could ever handle actually working for you? But you honest. I wanted to be honest. Yes. I think I could now. I think in those days, no. I think now I think I'm a
Starting point is 00:09:45 different person now. Okay. Well, we'll get kept. I think I think I think Jackson's 100% right. I think when he was on, you know, you guys were on Vanderpump and you know, his head was like couldn't fit through the door. It fits at the door. Yeah. I think that would have been an issue. Yeah. But I think now, yeah, no problem at all. Oh, wow. I think it'd be a good employee. Well, I will tell you, Captain Wayne, a reshacer. Yeah. You get an individual to work with. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. I don't want to use that word employee because I would like it.
Starting point is 00:10:20 I will tell you that we rented a houseboat on from Kentucky. So we rented a houseboat on Lake Campbell and Jack thought he was going to be the captain of our houseboat. I have been there. Oh, you've been in Lake Campbell and I did a top chef show there. Oh my gosh, yeah. Well, I'm from Kentucky. On the houseboat.
Starting point is 00:10:38 On the houseboat. On the houseboat? Oh, yeah, yeah. There are a lot of fun. Oh, but Jack thought he was going to captain it and he just kept running us into the wall It was awful just I mean you know how those they're like they're like pontoon boats basically. They're just oversized pontoon boats Yeah, yeah, it was and like literally just bright into the rocks He cannot park it like definitely definitely could not be a captain
Starting point is 00:11:04 No, it's a lot harder than it It's even on a lake now mind you there. He's on an ocean. I'm on a lake. Okay, and there's rocks way far away I still managed to hit him still manage could not park the thing We lost all the power on the last day nobody had any clue how to turn anything on couldn't flush the toilets I mean it was a whole thing it was all and this is just us on Lake Cumberland in a houseboat. And it was 120 degrees out that day. And it was just like, we had to get towed back to the dock. So.
Starting point is 00:11:34 I love to do it again. I just want to rent. I want to make sure we get like a proper captain on there. Like captain Lee. We're going to make you kind of Kentucky with us and see if you'll just have a party. He's a little bit out of our head. I would do that with you guys.

Starting point is 00:14:24 Check it out. So you've been doing below deck for 10 seasons so far. Did that really change your career being on Bravo or was it already such a huge success before you even started? Because as you said, you've been doing it for so many years. Well, you have to define, did it change my career as a captain or did it change my career as a captain or did it change my career period? Oh, I mean, that's a great question. I mean, career period.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Period. Yeah. When I I was not I didn't go through the audition process that most people in Bravo go through like send any audition tapes in or anything like that. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and they had an edge they had to have scratched. And I was the back scratcher. You were, I mean, blowtack that took off. It's got so many different. Yeah, they're like in so many different countries now.
Starting point is 00:15:17 And it's just thought, yeah, it's, you know, it is taking off. It really, really has. I knew after probably season two that my life as I knew it prior to that was never going to be the same again. Do you regret it any of it or no? No, no.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Change my life for the better. I do the better, of course, right? Change my life for the better. And I've, we've had a lot of fun with it. Marianne sometimes melts so much. But you know, once you get her out of the house, she kind of loosens up a little bit and she has a good time. Does she, is she coming to add any of the trips with you at all over the years?
Starting point is 00:15:49 She did one and they talked her into being on on one of the shows. How'd that go? They screwed the pooch on that one. Yeah. She didn't like it. She didn't like it at all. Well, she had, she'd had a couple of pops on the plane. If she was nervous.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Yeah. And the way it was pitched to her, one of the producers came down and we all went out She'd had a couple of pops on the plane, if she was nervous. And the way it was pitched to her, one of the producers came down and we all went out to dinner and the way he pitched to her was like, you know, it's not gonna be like you think, there's not gonna be cameras in your face and not gonna be mommy, I gotta be anything. You won't even know we're there.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Yeah. You should have, were you laughing when they said that? Yeah, I said, spider to the fly. Yeah. So she's, she's gets there and she's walking down the dock. And before she gets, you know, to the boat, they stop her. Then some guy, you know, starts lifting up the back of her shirt because he's going to mic her up.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Oh, yeah, yeah. And she goes, she said, I haven't been here five minutes and already you're molesting me. Oh, no. And he says, I just have to get you miced up and I have to slip this under your brush. Look then she goes, you're assuming I'm wearing a bra.
Starting point is 00:16:59 And you're like, oh, here we go. All right, let's just let the games begin. You're not even off the dock yet. Should I know all about that, Laurie? Yeah, not to the boat yet. Yeah. It was our first time they were filming. Yes. Yes. First and last. She'd been on Watch Your Habits Live.
Starting point is 00:17:18 She'd been bartender a couple of times. Yeah. And she's pretty outspoken when, you know push comes to shove if she needs to stand around You can bet your sweet as she will good for her and then I stand by her whenever she does because 99.9% of the time she's right. That's right. Your wife is always right. I think it's a hundred percent if you ask me And even if even if when I'm right, do you really want it? But he'll ask you this as a one percent of, you know, one, but so let me ask you this as a husband. I'm allowed for one percent. I've got, I've come
Starting point is 00:17:53 to realize though, even when I am right, is it, do you really even want to be right? Like because even if you are right, you're still going to get the hell, you know, you know, there's, yeah, there's no point. We're, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there advice, marriage advice, we've only been married for four years now. To get her in. You could give us. Because you obviously have an amazing relationship. Mary Ann and I spend our days and our time. It's not, when you cover 48, 49 years, there's a lot of ups and downs. There's a lot of mistakes that are going to be made.
Starting point is 00:18:41 But when it's all said and done, I wake up in the morning and I go, how can I make her happy? And she does the same thing with me. She would rather do something she doesn't enjoy doing to make me happy and do it with me. And I'm the same way with her. You know, I will go without something that I really want to see that she gets something that she does want. Wow. So it's all a compromise. Wow. It's a compromise, absolutely. And, but it's known when to compromise. It can't be. You heard that, Jack?
Starting point is 00:19:12 It can't be like, look what I gave up for you. Yeah. No. You have to want to give it. And not on things over some ice-cream. Yeah, if you come to the point where you're doing something and you're going like, all right, I'm going to do it. I just want you to let you know that I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Well, that's bullshit. Yeah, it's not going to work. Good to know. And you just have to, then like I said, every day I wake up and how can I put a smile in our face because to me that smile hers is just what makes me tick. Oh my gosh. I just love it. So nice.
Starting point is 00:19:48 So you have your marriage. You go on these like long trips, I'm sure. How do you keep things spicy in your relationship whenever you're gone for so long? Yeah, I need somebody to buy something. Yes. We're only four years in. So help us. Four years in. Eight years total. We've been together for eight years. Four years married. Four years. You've been together eight years. So you've been, okay. It should be natural. Yeah. Everything should be just let it flow. Yeah, I got to say, you know, I can't be open to open up about this, but
Starting point is 00:20:23 well, I've been slacking a little bit in the romance department in the last month. Our babies only two. Our babies two years old. We came out of COVID. You know, we had really not a lot going on, right? And I was kind of, I wasn't saying I was depressed, but there's just not a lot going on. And then all of a sudden, this thing started happening. Well, compliments might have been a lot really low, really low. You know, and I feel like I'm the breadwinner. And if I felt like I'm just a breadwinner And I felt like I'm the breadwinner in the family.
Starting point is 00:20:46 I like to take care of my family. I grew up that way where the man takes care of the woman, the family, that's just how I grew up. So, you know, COVID obviously just took a lot out of me. It took a lot out of my savings. It took a lot of everybody's savings and stuff. So I felt defeated as a man. I just felt very defeated.
Starting point is 00:21:00 And there was times where I had to go to my wife and say, hey, can you cover me this month on this bill or whatever this month? And it just hurt me. I know she has it. And I know we're married. And I know she'll do anything for each other. But it just hurts a little bit.
Starting point is 00:21:12 So I was a little bit in a funk. And then all the sudden things started happening. Now we're so busy, and it's just good again. And I just felt, I don't want to leave this time. I don't want to go back to where I was during COVID. And I just, I feel like I put my marriage a little bit on the back burner. See, you're going to, you're going to have these ups and downs.
Starting point is 00:21:28 You are definitely going to have them. And Mary Ann and I have had them where I've had times where when I was working in the mills and stuff, I get laid off. Yeah. And no money coming in. And I'm proud to say Mary Ann got up every day and she'd worked 8, 10, 12 hours a day, clean her houses, other people's houses so that we could, you know, continue on. Right. And the team. Exactly. It is a team. I agree. But I know there's, there's, there's the point where
Starting point is 00:21:58 you have to swallow your pride. Yeah. Stick your ego where the sun don't shine. And carry on. Right. Because what's most important is that you're doing it together with each other and for each other. And sometimes somebody else is going to have to step up to the plate and do what she has to do. You're going to have to step up to the plate at other times and do what you have to do. And then eventually,
Starting point is 00:22:23 get to the point where Mary Ann got and she said, I'm done. She said, I am officially retired. Good for her. She deserves it. You do things together as a unit. Right. You're not, I guess I don't know know how to say, you're, you're one. Right. But sometimes somebody's got to do a little bit more of the heavy lifting. Yeah. And there's no, that's the first. Right. And there's nothing wrong with that. I just, as, you know, I grew up a little differently.
Starting point is 00:22:55 You know, I just grew up, you know, my grandfather, you know, worked in my grandmother's state home, my father worked in my mother's state home. I just, and like I said, my, my wife is amazing. She's amazing. She's like, listen, if you can't handle this one, I got you this month, I got you this one, or whatever you needed. I just, you know, as a man sometimes, it just, I just, and like I said, my wife is amazing. She's amazing. She's like, listen, if you can't handle this one, I got you this month, I got you this one or whatever you needed. I just, you know, as a man sometimes it just, it just hits the ego a little bit. And I'm just so excited. Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:13 That's when that's when for the sake of you two being together, that's when you got to take that ego. Yeah. And you're right. And I have also a problem. Going the way. That's what Jack struggled with for years and years and years on my lawyer ego was got the worst of you. And I'm sure you know that.
Starting point is 00:23:31 I had a similar issue. Mine was a friend of mine called me up one day and he said, I told him, I said, why doesn't we were talking about a particular guy? He said, why doesn't Tim like me? And he said, you think you're arrogant. And I said, why doesn't we were talking about a particular guy? I said, why doesn't Tim like me? And he said, you think you're arrogant? And I said, arrogant. I said, f**k him.
Starting point is 00:23:54 I love it. I just love your person. I know what you feel. You know, and I won't do that. And you know what, I'm seeking help and I'm going through and trying to figure it out. But now I'm just, I feel like we have a little baby. We have a baby boy. And you know what, I'm seeking help and I'm going through and trying to figure it out. But now I'm just, I feel like we have a little baby, we have a baby boy and like it's now we have a little, a toddler.
Starting point is 00:24:11 His name is Cruz, actually. First CRUZ. I see he's a handsome little boy. But like I said, I'm just, I'm taking out a lot, I'm a, I'm a yes man. I say yes to everything. I'm one of those. I don't have a hard time saying no to people. I like to take on 20 different projects knowingly that I can't do them, but I take them
Starting point is 00:24:26 on anyway, and it's a problem that I have. But now everything's just going knock on wood. Things are going really, really well right now. And I felt like I spread myself a little bit too thin, and where I'm lacking was in my marriage. And I wasn't kind of paying enough attention to Brittany and her needs, and I'm aware of that. And I'm like, you know what, I kind of sat back, and I'm like, how can I fix this?
Starting point is 00:24:44 Because you know, there was, it was, it was almost getting to the point where we were like, kind of just seeing each other and passing. Like, hey, how are you? Okay, I'm taking the kid and doing this and they're okay, you're going out to dinner. Okay, I'm just, it was almost like in passing and then I was like, we got to stop this
Starting point is 00:24:55 because, you know, this is turning into where we're just roommates here. And now, you know, we forget that we're married. I think it's great that you came to that realization. Before it got to the point. And and not everybody role not everybody has the humility to admit that. I think being on reality shows like has made us be so open and honest about everything that goes on in our lives. Obviously we opened that door a long time ago. But yeah, it's just been it's just can can be kind of crazy sometimes, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:24 and I'm working through it. And I'm putting the onus towards the point of being brutal. Yeah. But that's why I'm like, I would just love to hear what you think.

I think everybody goes through their ebbs and flows and they're up and down in the marriage and they said, we're very aware of what's happening and I caught it. And, you know, obviously I'm trying to fix things a little bit, but it's a good problem to have. You know, when you're, you know, you're working a lot and all these things are starting to come now, I just got to manage everything and that's just the, that's the point that I was getting to. So I think I think the, I think the best thing I could ever tell anyone that because we're all in the same industry. Right. We just get filmed doing different things
Starting point is 00:28:16 exactly. And my advice to anyone that's ever come on board the boat. If you want to get asked back for a second season, keep your head down, do your job, and be yourself, and stay the away from the coolate bowl. Yeah, people try a little too hard when it comes to reality. I think being yourself is always what makes it so much more organic and so much more real. Then as soon as the people come to the land, yeah, as soon as the camp comes to come on, they morph into this monster. But you look at it. Yes, yes. Trust me.
Starting point is 00:28:49 We've done with that. Yeah, who we've dealt with that. Who are you on? What did you do with my buddy? Yeah, we've dealt with that so many times. I want to know, Captain Lee, what would be one of the craziest stories that has happened on your, one of your yachts that you're allowed to tell us. One that sticks out to you, you know, that's, you know.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Because I can only imagine having to deal with all these drunk people and everything else. And I know you don't like the word employees, but I mean, you can even go to, you know, your staff. Like, was there something that kind of sticks out to you that, like, you know, you could tell us kind of quickly. I've had to let a lot of people go, obviously, over the seasons. And some of them I didn't want to let go, very few, but the rest of them, some of them I just thoroughly enjoyed letting go. And I think one of the moments it sticks out in my mind, the hardest thing for me to do was to walk off a boat when I was injured.
Starting point is 00:29:43 was to walk off a boat when I was injured. And that just, because I, and I don't want this to sound, I hate the term ego because I've always said, if you're a captain, you check your ego with the dock when you get on board the boat. That's where you leave it. Yeah. Because otherwise it's just going to cause your problems. And I didn't, I didn't come on board after I was injured
Starting point is 00:30:08 because it was ego. It was because I made a commitment. And I always, I do my utmost best to fulfill every commitment I make. I keep my word. If I give you my word, then you can take it to the bank and cash it. It's as good as done. And then I got down there and I had a conversation with one of the producers and I said, I'm more of a liability right now than I am an asset. And I said, I'm not doing anybody any good.
Starting point is 00:30:40 I said, because my situation is getting worse, I know it wasn't getting better and I made a promise to him. And I said, but I promise you before this season is over, I will be back and I will finish it. And I said, I may not be 100%, but I think my 75 is better than most people's 100. You're obviously a very hard worker. I'm a firm believer in it. Yeah. And that you work smart, but you have to, you have to complete what you start. And I started the season and I was determined. And when I came back to Fort Lauderdale, I went straight off the plane, straight into the hospital. And from there, I went straight into physical therapy and I stayed there
Starting point is 00:31:25 for two and a half weeks and were eight hours a day to get to the point where I could walk and I promised him I said I will walk on board the boat I won't use a crutch I won't use a cane and then say I wouldn't use it after I got on board but walked it up the game plank I was going to do that on my own and you you did. And I did. That's awesome. And it meant a lot to me. It was a sense of personal pride. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:51 That I kept my word and I did what I said I was going to do because it's integrity. Of course. You have it or you don't. And it may take you a little while to realize how important that is to you. But once you do, it's, it's a big deal. And I just think it's something that, uh, more people should pay attention to. Yeah. And I know a lot of people are, well, definitely like look up to that. For sure. Like, I know I look up to that. That's amazing. A fun question for you now.
Starting point is 00:32:22 All right. I want to, I'm ready for it. It's heavy. It's got to go. We're done with that. If you had to make a crew out of only Bravo Laborities, who would it be? Wow. So I can go across the whole spectrum. Yeah, old ones, new ones.
Starting point is 00:32:40 How many is that? Would be like five? I don't know how many people know. We have nine. Nine. How many is that would be like five? I don't know how many people know We have nine nine. Wow. Yes. I want to know who you would have Well, I would definitely have Kate. Yes. Yeah, we have our new show together And I've always thought that Kate and I had this chemistry. It just worked. Yeah, she's funny And I never had to I never had to worry about anything with Kate. Yeah, she's funny. I never had to, I never had to worry about anything with Kate. It was like these people won a white party on a beach with 40 million dollars with the fireworks,
Starting point is 00:33:14 naked dancing ladies and some flame throwers and she'd go, no problem. Love that. That's awesome. That's awesome. And get it done. So definitely be Kate. I would have Eddie or Kelly as the Bolson. Eddie, by the way, has got himself firmly entrenched. I'm really proud of him. He's got his unlimited mates license. And he's since been he's since been promoted up to captain. Oh wow. Wow. So he's got his four stripes. And he's running big, huge tugs out of ball the more on the inner harbor. He's the one who takes those thousand foot freighters in and out on his own.
Starting point is 00:33:54 OK, can never imagine Jack's doing that. No, I love watching it though. I love watching that stuff. I can't say that. I said I'd use the very one dress as well. As far as the rest of the crew goes, I would just want, I would probably select the people that worked the hardest and had the most fun because they really enjoyed their job and what they were doing.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Connie was one of my favorites. Connie was season two, I think. Oh, yeah. And she, I was totally amazed because when she brought her luggage on board, she brought a sewing machine. And all my years in the attic, nobody's brought a sewing machine. Did she fix people like people that were on the yachts like clothes and everything? What was she doing with her sewing machine? Not exactly.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Kind of had a great sense of humor, which I totally appreciate. And I love practical jokes. I really do. I know I probably don't seem like it. I love the joke. So Connie would sit there in the crew mass. And she would watch, because like the doors are always open. Some guys in his underwear and he's putting his shorts on, getting ready to forward, and
Starting point is 00:35:02 nobody closes the door. She would watch. What leg does he always put in first and he shorts. And so she would sneak in after he'd gone to bed and she'd grab his shorts for the next day and she would sew the other leg short. So it's shot. He'd put his one leg in and then he'd try to put
Starting point is 00:35:23 the other one in and it was so in shot. So he'd like fall over. And then he'd to put the other one in and it was so in shot. So he'd like fall over. And then he fell on his ass. And she'd be sitting out there and she'd be filming and she'd be laughing around. So I love that. It was great.
Starting point is 00:35:35 And then then great when he thought he was over that. He'd slip on his neck shoes and they'd be filled with like whipped cream or shaving. Oh, so that's fun that everybody would do practical jokes like, I love scaring jacks. He is like the biggest scary cat ever. So I know another reason he probably would not be a good. I don't like scary movies. I don't like scary things scary. Oh, I just don't like it. I love Halloween, but I don't like being scared. You and Marianne would get along. I don't like it. She loves it.
Starting point is 00:36:08 You know what she used to do to me? We had these automatic doors that would open up, and I would be on the outside going to come in, and because you could see outside, but outside you couldn't see into the salon because of the tent. Yeah. So she would get her nose that close to the door. And I'm ready. I'm just walking towards the door. And it soon is at open.
Starting point is 00:36:32 And she's just like, ah! She can just hear the living hell. I love doing that to Jack. Oh, I look like a cat trying to cover it up on a hot pin.

Captain Lee does he ever watch the season back and wish that he had fired someone from something you saw in the show that you didn't know that happened until you watched it back. Not that I didn't know that happened, but there's one person I regret not firing just on the spot. Who? He's Billet Rocky. Rocky. What does he do?
Starting point is 00:38:16 Rocky was the third stew and she was just she was I guess she could say she was built for reality TV. Oh. Yeah, that's what I thought. And a few other reality shows and she finagled her way onto this one. And then she was a big fan of Leon. I don't know if you remember Chef Leon. He's the one that, you know, he didn't clean his galley well enough and we started a fire in the oven because
Starting point is 00:38:46 it was so dirty. And Eddie put it out. It's like there was pandemonium going on. Eddie calmly walks up with a fire extinguisher, opens up the door, goes, shuts the door, says I'm going back to bed. It was crazy. And so she got her knickers in a wad about Beyond getting fired He didn't get fired. I offered him the opportunity. I said Leon. I said, you know, this isn't working right I said You were the cause somebody was trying to do you a solid by cooking pizza for you and not going down and waking your ass up because you're the chef. So they decided to let you sleep. They decided to go ahead and just slide up pizza
Starting point is 00:39:29 into the oven and it caught fire because your oven was dirty. And then you tried to toss them under the bus. I said, so why don't we just say that this is your last charter? Now mindful, we only have one dinner to go and the guests are off the boat the next day. Oh, wow. Yeah. And he goes, oh, I'm out of here. Oh, wow. I said, this is like Burger King,
Starting point is 00:39:51 buddy. You can have it your way. But his ass on a boat and shipped him out. And then Rocky got her. Nickers in a wad because you fired my best friend, Leon. Got it. And she strips down in the in the sky lounge and takes your microphone off and everything. Bails over the side. Like jumped in the water. Yeah, build it. Oh, it was it was a nice dive. I had if I was I give her a solid 5.8.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Out of six. Wow. Interesting. And Eddie goes. Wow. Interesting. And Eddie goes, he says, I could just jumped overboard. And said, good. Oh gosh. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 00:40:34 And then he says, she's swimming to another boat. I said, if they pick her up, let's pull the anchor and leave. Oh my gosh. Well, I got another question for you from C underscore B underscore Norris. What Bravo Liberty would you not want as a guest on your boat out of all the Bravo Liberty's out there on all different shows? What's one guess that you would not want to have as a guest on your boat? Sand of all. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:02 You know what? I don't think it's not because of what he did. It's just kind of a type of person he is. I think it's all I would agree. I would agree. I would agree. I would agree. You would have your hands full with that one. You would have your hands full. He did what he did because of the type of person he is. That's a great way to put it. That's a great way to put it. Very true. And that just describes him in a nutshell. I'll let Phony Crying Bullshit. He did it the reunion. I agree. I agree. And that just that just describes him and are not sure all that phony crying bullshitty at the reunion.
Starting point is 00:41:26 I agree. I agree. They save it, Bell. Yeah. For somebody that's going to buy it. Exactly. I agree. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:35 I agree with you. I had a conversation with them and I had some conversation with them this year. Yeah. And you know, I said the same thing. I'm not, you know, I'm just mad how he treated, he treated his buddy Tom Schwartz. Now, Tom Schwartz is one of my best friends, if not my best friend, they have a business together.
Starting point is 00:41:50 And I just don't agree with how he treated him during this time. And Tom was going through his own personal things with his family, his brothers were in the hospital, his dad was in the hospital, this and that. And he couldn't, he just wasn't, they're very low. It's a big load. And plus they opened a business together.
Starting point is 00:42:03 And Tom decided to take off and go on tour with his garage man and leave Tom Schwartz by himself. So I didn't really agree of way how he handled the whole situation. Yes, what he did was wrong. Obviously with the cheating thing and everything like that. And I wasn't getting into that too much. It's just how he handled the whole situation.
Starting point is 00:42:17 He wasn't man enough just to come forward and say, you know what, I effed up, I screwed up. I need to fix this. I know I did some damage to Ariana, but I need to make things right with everybody. They don't not have to love me anymore, but I just things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do.
Starting point is 00:42:28 I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do.
Starting point is 00:42:36 I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do.
Starting point is 00:42:44 I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of things to do. Yeah, how she told all the truth about the relationship and now she's like being on those podcasts with Bethany. Yeah, that's a whole thing. That's a whole mess. And now he's stripping somebody else. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, seriously. I'm at Camille Lam in the bathroom at, um, uh, Isabelle a couple weeks ago. She's so pretty.
Starting point is 00:43:03 I talked to her a little bit. I don't know her very well, but she was so nice. And I know she was on season 10 with you. She seemed like a lot of fun. Yeah. Ken, she did cause me some aggravation. Did you get to one part where she brought me my uniform? And their pants were too little.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Is that the part you're talking about? Every thing was too little. I looked like 10 pounds of shit in a five pound bag. I was cracking up just because you were like, what's wrong with this? So I said it's wrong. I should look at me. I said, it looked like the doughboy. So I said it's shrunk and you were like, shrunk. These aren't even my pants. I thought that was so funny. Oh, it was terrible.
Starting point is 00:43:47 And you have no idea how hard I had to work just to get into those. And then you had the cameras come in. They're like, look at this. Oh, yeah. It was funny because they told me that in the control room, nobody had their headphones on. They were all just rolling on the floor. Laugh.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Like glad I could provide your office entertainment. Well, isn't that a fun part of doing reality TV, though? Like I know if I get, if I get a crew member or a camera guy laughing, whenever you're filming, that's like one of the best feelings ever. You're like, yes, my goal is to laugh. Yeah, Bernie and I say, wait, like if I can get, it's not even about getting the audience or everybody else to laugh,
Starting point is 00:44:27 I'm trying to get the camera guy to laugh. If I can get the camera guys to laugh, I don't know if I can get the other person to laugh. I hit a home run. Yeah, you know it, you're like, yes, it's like the best feeling whenever you get the crew to laugh. It's out of the phone.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Yeah. That's, I always just try to go for that. I don't care about everybody else. I just try to get the crew to laugh. Well, we hear that you have a Vegas show coming up. Can you tell us a little bit about that and where? I am really excited about that. I did it at the urging of my publicist, Alyssa,
Starting point is 00:44:56 who was just like, she's the rock. And I only have three, I have four people that work with me. I have my attorney. I have Marianne, my rock, and then I have Alyssa and Samantha. I know I've been talking about it, but most of the people that work with me are women. And they keep me doing what I'm supposed to do properly at the right time.
Starting point is 00:45:22 And Alyssa said, I think you should do a one-man show. And I said, I can't scare the hell out of me. She says, no, I think it'll be really, really good. She says, I have a friend that used to be a writer for Julia Roberts. Oh, cool. Her name's Thea. And she said, I think, I think we should take a look at it. And I said, what if we do it? And nobody shows up. It's said, have you thought of that? That's not going to happen. You said won't happen. I agree. I agree. People love you. Yeah. And so we went ahead and did it. And we were just going to do a one off. And we did it here. And while we did it in Hollywood, Florida, at the hard rock casino, at the nightclub there. Oh yeah. And I was
Starting point is 00:46:06 sooner. I'm not gonna lie. I threw up three times before I walked out on stage. Oh, you were that nervous. I was. It's different to at a live show, you know, one of your used to reality TV because it's right in front of your face. Yeah. And there's nowhere to hide. Yeah. That's all on you. It's just you and you're sitting there and everybody's looking. I mean, there's nothing else to look at. Right. But it went really well. I had a lot of fun after I got over my, my, you know, first probably
Starting point is 00:46:38 10 minute jitters. And then things started to flow and it felt good. And the audience got into it and the more the audience got into it and the more the audience got into it, the more relaxed I got. So it went really well. And so then when I found out that we were gonna do BravoCon in Vegas, that's a wait a minute. I said, I have a friend that has a casino
Starting point is 00:47:01 and a resort out there, the West Gate. Yeah, we stay there. And I called up David and a resort out there, the Westgate. Yeah, we stay there. And I called up David and I said, David, I said, you got a room I could use on the second. He said, isn't that the day before propaganda? I said, uh-huh. That's like the perfect time to do it. Yeah, you got all your problems there. I want to do my one-man show out there. And he says, I think it's a great idea. He said, should let me know whatever you need, and we'll make it happen. And I don't know if you remember who David Sika is.
Starting point is 00:47:33 It was, they were on David and Jackie. We're on season eight, I think. And they had lost their daughter, Victoria, to an overdose. It had been like five years at that point in time when they had lost them. We talked about it, we shared a lot of stories together, some that you saw on camera, some that you didn't see. It's a shame that you have to connect with people over something like that.
Starting point is 00:48:04 The connection was still there. And we stayed in touch with each other over the years. And we still do. And out of the blue, I'll just get a phone call from him and say, what are you doing? How's it going? And we have that relationship. And I have the same one with his wife, Jackie, the queen of Versailles. The queen of Versailles, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:27 And Versailles is, it is monumental. Oh, yeah. To say the least. And I would, I had the privilege of touring it. But getting back to the biggest thing, and so he says, we've got a resort there. We got a casino there. He said, I'd be honored if I could do it there. He said, done.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Very cool. And so we worked on it. And I will be out there. Maybe I'll come to your show. Please do come to your show. Yeah, yeah. So it's going to be Thursday night, November 2nd, at the West Gate.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Yes. 730. And I will. 730. I promise to take very good care of both of you. All right. That would good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy.
Starting point is 00:49:08 I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy.
Starting point is 00:49:16 I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy.
Starting point is 00:49:24 I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good the Westgate. Oh, that's a great sort. Great merch. Great merch, dude, too. I'm all about the merch. Everything that Jack says is always going back to merch stuff. I can never really get into it. The merch is great. Great extra money. I've never been a big merch guy either.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Oh, you got it. You got it because now everybody watches reality shows. They all wear their merch while they're watching the shows. It's like the biggest thing now. So they have these big parties and they wear their merch from their favorite reality star or whatever, their favorite songs. And you have so many great one-liners. I'm going to have some merch out there. Yeah, I do. I went into this whole merch thing kicking and screaming. Yeah, so do I. I look at that. And you get burned sometimes. You get burned. You then
Starting point is 00:50:01 you figure out what to do, what not to do. We went in. We got burned our first time too, but now we got the track. Yeah, I won't get into it too much on this, but yeah, you learn what to do, what not to do, and who takes advantage of you and what not. It's, you got to grind it at the beginning, but once you get going, once it gets going, it kind of just does take care of itself. I'll tell you what, nothing is more valuable, and I've had the same people with me, well, Marianne, 48 years. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:26 Good. The rest of my team, I've had with me from like season three on. And they're just sold to the earth. And they're not doing it for the money. Right. Doing it because when we get together and we do things like the show, the one show and stuff like that, we have a lot of fun. Yeah, we have an amazing team. Yeah, we've got a great team that we, they're like family to us.
Starting point is 00:50:51 So I can't wait what you mean. Yeah, I know what you mean. Our team's not only our team, but they're our friends. And you know, like I said, they come to all of our kids events, we go to their kids events, and it's just, it would become family. You know, like I said, they've been in our lives for,
Starting point is 00:51:04 not as long as you, but over a decade, you know, and I can say the decade of time is a long time. So, it's important to have really good solid people behind you. Especially because once you, I don't know what either one of you did before you got involved in TV. I was a hooters girl. It was a hooters girl.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Cool. Yeah, I've never been a hooters. I have. I, in fact, I got to fly on their helicopter. I was close to the pen. Well, I was inducted to the hooters' whole fame. So the hooters world. Well, I was partitating and working at Bryce Johnson stuff. She's a bad guy on the hood as well. Oh, that's something to be proud of. I was partying in working at Bryce Johnson's stuff, and I ended up using Don't Downplay.
Starting point is 00:51:50 You're a corporate trainer. Don't downplay. And also, I've never heard of Tin Roof. I think they have a win for it. Who's the better bartender? Me. This one. Yes, Jackson was known because he was a bartender at Star, but I was actually a bartender
Starting point is 00:52:03 because I worked at places like Hooters and Tinendroof that are like sports bars and it was very quick. Like we would work like openings like football games. I don't know. Okay. And season openers baseball. So we were always constantly busy. Jackson's sitting there muddling one drink for like five minutes and saying he doesn't muddle
Starting point is 00:52:20 on Sunday. I was a much better bartender. That's literally the things that you need. Mary and actually tended bar at at a few of our places that we own because we had some restaurants and some some clubs prior to me getting into the outing world. I had to talk her into attending Mar because I didn't have enough money to hire any help. And she said, I'm not doing that. She was very, very shy. And so I had to teach her how to 10 bar.
Starting point is 00:52:52 And I said, you can't waste time pouring right handed. I said, you got a pour left handed. And that's right, you got it all. You grabbed the gun with your right hand. Yeah. But you got a pour left handed. And you're well, you got to turn all the bottles this way. So that you got a poor left hand in your well. You got to turn all the bottles this way.
Starting point is 00:53:06 So that you're ready to pour when you grab them. That was back in the day. That was 30 years ago and things have been pulled. What you guys used to do at Sur? You just sit there and like, I'm like, yeah. It's worth it to me. Well, you know that we're opening a bar. Yeah, it's called Jackson's and it's gonna be open.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Yeah, it's called Jackson's and Studio City and the goal is to franchise them out. My partners want to get one in Tampa. That's the next pop. But yes, our first one, we have our first opening on Friday, the 29th, it's our first soft opening, but it's a kind of sports bar, tavern, bar lounge. Got a little bit of everything.
