  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't check my dms on Facebook.

  Speaker 7: And honestly, I said, congrats on your show, many blessings,
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: like it wasn't that's it?
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was it? And then what did you say
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: about I clicked it on the link and she was singing,
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: and at the time, I was doing the I Believe
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: tour and I thought, well, yeah, the Bronco.
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: Game, like the national anthem, and she's like, oh my gosh,
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: your boys, I want to meet you.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: We should do something inspiring, we Matt and that was it. Yeah,
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: love at first sight.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Wow, I can relate to that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: There has been so much drama in the Below Deck franchise.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: What do you think of the season?
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: So, you know, I don't really see a lot of
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: it until I watched the show. So wow, Joe, Okay, Like,
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: let's talk about Joe. Yeah, he's a player. Player.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I feel like everybody on the ships a player. Most
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: of the time. Everybody's sleeping with everybody. I'm sure that
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: happens a lot since you guys spend so much time
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: in tight quarters, I mean, not with you.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Obviously it does, but obviously, uh, they're casted so in
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: the you know, in the yawning world, it happens, but
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: they're more professional. A lot of things that you see
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Donna Yacht really would never happen in a real charter
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: scenario or they would be fired immediately. You have to
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: conduct yourself in a way below decks a little different.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: My industry hates the show. A lot of them are turning.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: I bet.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Some of them like it because they see it's bringing
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: more business into the industry. At the same time, they're like,
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: I remember I was cruising and they go, oh, that's
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: the idiot TV show, and I was just.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Like, you're all things rude, that's so rude. I almost
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: went on below deck what was it below Deck Adventure
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: I think or something like that, and with another housewife
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: and a bunch of girls, and I ended up getting
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Ultimate Girls trip and backed out and the whole thing
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: kind of just fell through. But I think me Teddy
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: and her husbands and some friends should definitely come on
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: the show, come on the bed, do the men.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Sandy's boat Mediterranean is it has a lot more to offer.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Who do you but had with the most? And who
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: would we butt heads with the most? On your I don't.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: You know not? We don't really butt heads like because
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: we're we're a well oiled machine. So it's like the
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Howl's wife shows, like we're doing a real job and
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: I'm not taking away from that franchise, but we're doing
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: a job. You have to.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: We're just going to lunch and yelling at everybody.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Bringing a lot of alcohol and getting paid. Yeah, they
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: don't drink on the job. It's different.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so they're not allowed to do. They can drink
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: after hours or not at all.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, after homes. Yeah, you see them go out, they
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: get drunk and hook up and try try to work
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: the next day. Yeah the next day.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Who do you get along the best with Leah?
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, because I'm the captain, it's not about getting along.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: It's about them doing their job right. So when I
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: walk in a room, they they're on their best behavior.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: But it's not about them getting along with me. It's
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: like they just have to respect the position and do
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: the job job. When people want to be led, they
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: need direction and if I give that to them, they'll
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: follow the direction.
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: Like when I went to see her, you know, I
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: just witness like a BLib of it. But they really
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: respect her as a captain and her authoritative kind of
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: figure in a way where she literally leads with kindness
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: and if somebody doesn't understand or she legitimately pulls in
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: aside and tries to find like their strengths and their weaknesses,
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: and she's like at the end of the season, they're.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Crying and hugging you, and yeah, they love working with her.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: So it's kind of cool to see, yeah, because yeah,
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: and you know, I banter with them. I mean, we're
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: doing a real job. So when you're leading people, you
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: have to make them want to follow you, so you
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: create that environment where they they'll do whatever you ask.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Well, that being said, how does it affect you watching
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: back and seeing things that they did, you know, essentially
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: behind your back? You know, like a few seasons there
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: were crew members like sneaking alcohol on past seasons or
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: how do you handle that? Because I know you you
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: you always seem to lead with fairness and you know it,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: people really love and respect you. But then watching it back,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: is there something that kind of ugh, Well, when I watch.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: It back, I look at all, Well, you know, they
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: got away with it. Who knows to them? Right, So
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: I don't. I don't bring it into the next season.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: There are a new set of people, and I also think, oh,
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: what can I change about me? Because I get to
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: see my behavior and go wow, maybe I could pause
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: a little longer or give them a little more grace,
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: or maybe I should have fired that person a lot sooner. Yeah,
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: so that's the stuff, you know, like.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: The last one.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Now you're you're super sweet on the show. Now who
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: wasn't very sweet as Captain Lee? And you took over
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: for Captain Lee during season ten? Blow Deck and he
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: tweeted he was a bit disappointed in their decision making.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: How did you handle that?
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Well, you know it's easy to say that from your
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: living room, but the reality is instead of a thank you,
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: I get criticism. No, I could have finished that entire
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: show out. Like I basically said the producer, I'm actually
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: leaving in two days, so you better figure it out
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: because I'm not going to hang around and wait until
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: the end of the season. It wasn't fair to me.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: It was Valentine's Day when I left Lea Bzar to
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: be honest with you. Yeah, it was bizarre, weird. Yeah,
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: but you know, we give him grace and I have
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: a nice life. Enjoy whatever you're doing in life, because
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: I don't live my life for other people. I just
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: do my job. I love my industry and I will
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: always show up as professional professional. Yes, and that's what
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: I did. And it's a real charter for me. And
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: when I see the crew are doing their job, I
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: will make that correction because I do have a reputation.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: I you know, I grew up in the Mediterranean as
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: a captain, very different standard and I love the professionalism
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: in the re And Leah's been to the boat shows,
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: is it not like next level?
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: At the next level, everyone's happy. But as a captain,
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: you know, she's in charge of lives and so you
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: know she that's her main priority when something happened.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Well, but if something happened, the captain is dispersed to
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: be arrested. Or yes, look at what happened off the
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: coast of Italy, you guys following that, No, what happened,
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, the chairman, the international chairman of I
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: think it's Golden Sacks or JP Morgan died the boat
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: sank right off the coast of Oh I did see
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: there trying to charge the captain with manslaughter?
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so oh damn No.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Yes, the storm hit the mass, the mask broke and
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: He's have you ever had any close calls like that?
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I've had fires in you know, the Red Sea.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: I've had storms, I've lost engines, I've had.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: Pirates, yeah, like pirates.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: No, I've never been boarded by pirates, but definitely chased
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: by pirates and when we're passes between cub and Haiti.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: But the reality is, in his case, everybody's looking at
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: every log they are they are inn They put crew
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: in different rooms and interview them. But what he did
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: was he created a daisy chain and they held hands.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: And imagine a boat getting hit by a storm, a
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: waterspot getting flipped on the side. How many people were
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: knocked unconscious? So the crew were actually on deck because
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: of the storm putting cushions away, they were actually all
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: on deck. So when that happened, they did a daisy
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: chain where they held hands. Like we're trained to go
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: in and search for people, and I've.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Been what's a daisy train?
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: So the daisy train is where you connect hands like
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: uh huh, you're holding hands so nobody gets lost. Okay,
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: walk in and someone keeps their hand on a surface
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: so you can because imagine pitch black, major storm boat's
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: moving around, things are floating, right, they got to go
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: find people. Freak out. Freak out.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's scary people.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: There's no lights, right, so you can't see your hand
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: in front of your face.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: No, in your opinion, there's nothing he could have done differently.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: He did everything that he trained for and so he
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: should be you know, a hero and not criticized. Yeah.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: So back to Captain Lee.
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: You know, she was just there really to support him,
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: and he wasn't well, you know, having surgery and I
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: just want to make sure he was okay to come back.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and he wasn't very nissed to me.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: And then have you talked to him at all since this?
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: I have no relationship with him, nor do I want
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: one to be honest like they got answer. He's never
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: supported me.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: He's always zero tolerance. That's how I women.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: At the helm, and he is that from that generation
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: where men where women belong, they don't belong at the helm.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: That's his mentality.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: Oh really, Oh yeah.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Well, speaking of how do you feel gender equality is
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: right now in yachting, did you experience like any misogyny
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: or homophobia at all during your career?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, of course. I wasn't hired because I was a
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: woman for a job. The manager actually told me that,
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: and I was like, that's sad. But the great news
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: is because I didn't get uh you know job, I
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: got the best job ever working for a founder of
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: the bank who was the best person I ever worked for.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: And if that job didn't turn me down, there's always
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: a door of opportunity that opens when one closes. So
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: I never looked at it and like it's towards me
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: when things say when things are shut down, that's because
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: there's a better opportunity, and that's the way I look
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: at it.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: But it is very you're a very positive person, I know. Yeah,
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: you sound like I have. My husband's exactly like yeah, so.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: But the cool thing is is the Blue Deck franchise
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: is the women that they have, they have they can
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: do this job, and it's changing our industry, which I love.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Well, speaking of women, we saw that there was a
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: little bit of bad fallout with Hannah on the and
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: the show during season five. Do you look back and
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: think you could have done anything differently or have you
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: talked to her?
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Of course, I saw Hannah in Australia. We had a
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: great conversation. There were a lot of things I did
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: not know, I wasn't aware of. Hannah wasn't aware of
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: a lot of stuff. We were able to clear the air.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: And I never not liked Hannah. I actually like Hannah
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: and really care for her. So we have a great
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: relationship today. We're in a good place. And when I
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: look back on the show, So what I did was
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: I called my maritime attorney immediately because we're being filmed.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: He said, you fire her now?
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Oh because right, so smart to do that.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: Most decisions I make that are based on decision makings
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: for CAP. I call my I have my maritime attorney
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: on speed dial, because you know, God forbid, something catastrophic happened.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: And there they take all of our blood, by the way,
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: the minute someone gets hurt or dies, like they'll come
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: in take all the cruise blood. See who's on drugs?
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: Who was it? Because none of us?
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, speaking of you, you've overcome addiction.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: You're thirty five year anniversary of sobriety.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Correct, Yes, congratulations relations, Yes, that's what.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Ever, what advice would you give to anyone struggling just.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Go?
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: My advice would be go to a meeting, get a
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: sponsor worth those twelve steps, and if you're in dire need,
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: call that one eight hundred number. Just google it, you know,
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: call alcoholics Anonymous, arcotics anonymous, any one of those organizations
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: or associations, whatever it's called. But the reality is it's
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: like it's there, but you got to want it, you know,
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: for so many years want it. I just kept relapsing.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: And it's for every and every day, like you don't
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: just let go and then like oh I'm better.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's an every day. It's a daily reprieve contingent
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: on the maintenance of your conditions mentally, spiritually and physically.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Do you do you with maintenance? Do you still go
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: to meetings?
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Or I need to go to Mores? Actually thinking this morning,
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: like I need to because Lee and I just moved
• 15:48
