- 0:47because it looks really good. Thank you? We were you coming from?
- 0:54Or are you going to like a post confessional interview anything like that or
- 1:00you just you know, I was doing my community service this morning, No
- 1:04way, good, Good for you doing. Yeah, I enjoy it.
- 1:08I actually, so what do you do? I work at a thrift shop
- 1:12at my church, and so even I'm almost done with the hours, but
- 1:17I'm just I'm going to keep doing it afterwards because they help a lot of
- 1:19homeless people and thousands of items go out every day. So it's it's really
- 1:23nice. Wow. Talk about you know, turning nine lemons in a bowl
- 1:30into lemonade or maybe some bruise lemons in about nine bowl I mean, the
- 1:37bottom line is, you know, it's still really hard for me to grasp
- 1:42the horrible choices that I made. I mean, I every day I don't.
- 1:47I don't. There's not a day that goes by where I don't think
- 1:49about it. But I'm just grateful that I didn't hurt anybody. I mean,
- 1:52how do you hope? How do you cope with that? As you
- 1:56say? Every day? You know, I know it weighs on you.
- 1:57So what do you what are your coping mechanisms? I know a lot of
- 2:00people have burdens such as yours, So what do you do well? I
- 2:04mean, that's the thing. When I was going through my divorce and when
- 2:07I was going through kind of the demise of my second time around relationship with
- 2:13John Jansen, I did. I did drink a lot more and I did
- 2:16use it as a coping mechanism. So I actually went to a place on
- 2:21my own. I did my research because I was offered some free alcohol rehab
- 2:25stays, but I chose to go to place actually in Newport. It's a
- 2:30big one of the better no trauma facilities. So I did an intensive out
- 2:36the program for thirty days, and you know, because I want to figure
- 2:40out why I make stupid choices. Yes, yes, you have to get
- 2:45to the root right and so well, there was an alcohol component to the
- 2:50program. You know, I'm able to. I'm still working with the therapists,
- 2:55but you know, there are things that I've kind of barren down and
- 3:00I haven't addressed in my life, and so I'm working through that right now.
- 3:04So it's all it's all a good thing. And I think that something
- 3:07as drastic as this had to happen in order for me to make certain changes
- 3:14in my life. And so I'm just doing the best. Wow, there's
- 3:17a lot of guilt. There's a lot of guilt. There's a lot of
- 3:20shame. And that was part of my program too. Is that how do
- 3:23you deal with that? Because it's I mean, you know, people say,
- 3:28oh, I got a DUI too when I was in high school.
- 3:30I'm flipping sixty. It's just pure stupidity or is it self sabotage? Like
- 3:37these are the questions I'm sure you're asking with your therapist. I don't know
- 3:42that, you know, I got an argument. I had been drinking way
- 3:45too much and I got in argument with John and my car was never at
- 3:49his home. But it was there that day and I had three blocks to
- 3:52go, and I'm the dumb person that thought, no, I'm not going
- 3:54to leave my car here, I'm going to get in my car, and
- 3:58that's what happened. I was angry with him and I went home to the
- 4:01gas and I lost control of the car. So damn, now is there?
- 4:06I know, it's just you have taken responsibility. You've you know,
- 4:12you're doing the things, and like you said, no one was hurt,
- 4:14Thank God. Is there any part of you that blames John Jansen? No,
- 4:20I mean I take full responsibility. No one put a gun to my
- 4:24head and I said get in the car. That was my choice, you
- 4:27know, impaired, impaired, but no, it was my choice. I
- 4:30take full responsibility. Now, how did you like? I really admire that.
- 4:34Well, first of all, you're in the spotlight, You've done interviews,
- 4:39You've talked about this. I remember kind of before Bravocan you were talking
- 4:42about this program that you were a part of, and you've been really transparent
- 4:47about it, which I think is very helpful for people. So will you
- 4:51be sharing any of this on the next season of Orange County or absolutely?
- 4:59Yeah, it's part of my story because I'm still going through you know,
- 5:01I chose to put a breathalyzer in my car because there are different options that
- 5:06you can choose, Oh my god, and one is you can keep driving
- 5:12if you have the breathalyzer. And you know, for me, it's embarrassing
- 5:15and it'll go off at any time five to twenty minutes into driving, so
- 5:18like people can look over and see you blowing in the thing. But I
- 5:23felt it was important for me to do that because it's just a constant reminder,
- 5:26you know, of what happened. Yeah, good for you. And
- 5:30how did you deal with this with your kids? That was the hardest part
- 5:34because I, you know, I try to lead by example with my kids,
- 5:40and it was just, you know, I said this a couple of
- 5:44times, but I had never been in an accident in my life. I'd
- 5:47never broken a bone, I'd never been arrested, I never had a DUI,
- 5:51And like, I took care of checking off all those boxes in a
- 5:55matter of ten seconds. And that's frightening to me. So, you know,
- 6:00they see the remorse that I have, and they see me trying to
- 6:05make myself a better person from it. So I have nothing but their support,
- 6:11which I'm grateful for. But you'll you will see that because you know,
- 6:15my twins started college this year, so I'm living. I'm living by
- 6:19myself. So but right before they went home after Christmas break, we started
- 6:25filming, so I was able to film a scene with them, so it
- 6:28was good. Oh that's so nice. So when you are walking the walk,
- 6:32does that mean that you don't drink at all? Do you have drinks
- 6:35and moderation? Where do you are you? Do you do a little THHC
- 6:41gummy? Like me? At night? Like where are you at? I've
- 6:45tried fifty million different things to sleep because it is hard for me still to
- 6:49sleep. But I had a hard time right after the DUI. But I
- 6:55started the program about maybe two or three weeks after the do you why so?
- 7:01And they're in that program, you can't. They randomly test to for
- 7:05drugging the whole time. So I didn't drink then, But so right now,
- 7:11I will have a couple of drinks if I go out, or sometimes
- 7:15I don't, but I'm not letting it get to a certain point. If
- 7:20I find that alcohol is a problem for me, then I will stop.
- 7:27But you know, I'm okay, I'm okay, right now. I mean
- 7:30again, I have had periods of my life where I've drank a lot,
- 7:33a lot, and I did use it to cope, and I know that
- 7:38now, so you know, it's very relatable. We all have our coping
- 7:44mechanisms, whether you know we discuss them or not. And I really respect
- 7:49that you are going to be talking about this on the show. Was there
- 7:53ever a point when you were like, I don't want to come back to
- 7:56the show. I don't want to talk about this part of my life.
- 7:58I want to remove my Yeah, and like, really, yeah, of
- 8:01course I don't. Of course I don't like to talk about it. But
- 8:05you know what was interesting is brav Bravo was very kind and supportive of and
- 8:11they you know what, I wanted me to do whatever I felt most comfortable
- 8:15with. And you know, they said, you don't need to go to
- 8:18Bravo Kon because that was about six weeks after the DUI, and I said,
- 8:22no, I had just finished the thirty Day Program and it was really
- 8:26important for me to go there because I wanted to face whatever was coming and
- 8:33I knew that if I want to be completely honest, transparent, my case
- 8:37was wrapped up in a bow. We you know, we we uh settled.
- 8:41You know, I got my punishment and all that right the day before
- 8:46Bravo Kon and so it was I knew that if I faced everything that I
- 8:52would come out stronger, and I think I did. I wasn't looking forward
- 8:56to it, but but I did. I got you sure did. Do
- 9:01you feel like this was more of a was this like your rock bottom moment
- 9:03in life? As some people say that, I know it's it may be
- 9:07a cliche thing to say, but like we saw what you went through with
- 9:11David, you know, and that was just awful. Yeah. I think
- 9:16I think it absolutely was my rock bottom moment because you know, it's not
- 9:22it's not what I want to be remembered for at all, and it's you
- 9:28know, it's it's humiliating. I humiliated myself and so it's hard enough to
- 9:33go through on your own, but then to do it publicly, you know
- 9:39it. You know, my attorney said, he said, you know,
- 9:41maybe the press won't pick it up. That was the day after at the
- 9:46Dui, and then that was a Sunday, and then Monday morning at seven
- 9:50thirty, TMZ came out with a story. You know, so and like,
- 9:54now it's going to get out there and you know what, so be
- 9:58it. Like I mean, I'm god love your attorney, but he doesn't
- 10:00know the housewives. Did any housewives reach out to you who have been in
- 10:07a similar situation? My cast all reached out to me, and pretty much
- 10:15everyone reached out And I asked them too, because at that point I couldn't
- 10:18comment on anything because it was ongoing, So I just said, please don't
- 10:22don't talk about it. If I'd appreciate that. But yeah, I even
- 10:30to this day, I have really maintained a small circle around me. I
- 10:37you know, and I go to like my four or five neighborhood restaurants.
- 10:41I go to a big party. I don't like to go to big parties.
- 10:43I've been to a couple, but I don't like to go to the
- 10:48hip, big trendy restaurants and all that kind of thing. I just kind
- 10:50of kept to myself. But I'll tell you, Vicky go Wilsen was the
- 10:56gal that was there for me from I get tearat when I think about it.
- 11:00She was there for me right away, like was there that next day,
- 11:05and then I was very injured after the after the accident, so she
- 11:13and the paparazzi was staked out. I was actually staying at her boyfriend's place
- 11:16because I hadn't found a place to move, and so she she had me
- 11:20go stay at her house. So she just took care of me. You
- 11:22know. It was yeah, yeah, she's just you know, was I
- 11:28really it's when things like this happen, you know who your true friends are.
- 11:33And I mean she just it was she exceeded those expectations. Yes,
- 11:39oh my gosh, you're getting so choked up. I know. I remember
- 11:43hearing that you were with her, and you know, people speculating about how
- 11:48you know, she was being there for you and she was the one that
- 11:52was closest to you. And and I applaud your relationship because you know,
- 11:56oftentimes on these reality shows, the friendships aren't necessarily real. And what's amazing
- 12:03it has transcended from just a show and friendships on the show to you guys
- 12:07really have a very deep bond. Oh we do. She was just here
- 12:13on Memorial Day for dinner, so you know, and with her boyfriend.
- 12:16So we we do spend a lot. Well, we have a show now,
- 12:18Yes, your show, Shannon. It Live with Shannon and Vickie,
- 12:22I can't believe how many shows you guys have done, you've gone on.
- 12:26I mean, this last tour was like you did what tens seven cities are
- 12:31like? There was a lot. Yeah, and it was so much fun.
- 12:35And Doug Gowden is the host, so I know it's just NonStop laughter,
- 12:39I mean love. I mean, we love Doug so much and he's
- 12:41so perfect to do that too. It's so great. So you guys did
- 12:46a whole round of shows. Is that going to be featured a little bit
- 12:50on the season do you think? Because you do? Okay, Oh,
- 12:52that'll be fun. And we're working on new dates right now. So great.
- 13:00Good. I want to see it again. I saw it in Brea.
- 13:05Well there's only two of us now, yes, I saw it right
- 13:07there? Are really is that true? Okay? I can't believe that you
- 13:11and Tamar are still aren't talking. It's like so crazy. I mean it's
- 13:15I actually feel like I can believe it because you guys went through this desert
- 13:20spell one other time before, but now we're in it again. Yeah.
- 13:26Well, I mean you'll see it this season. But you know, I
- 13:31just feel like every year Tamar has an issue with me, you know,
- 13:35I'm either not doing something or doing or doing something, and you know,
- 13:39and then in the end we make up and we move on, and it's
- 13:43just this rollercoaster. Never was like that's how you guys are. No,
- 13:46it's not how. I don't like to argue with people, so anyways,
- 13:52but yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot, and you'll see it
- 13:54this seasons. Can't believe you guys are like filming with each other season eighteen.
- 14:00This whole thing that happened with Jennifer and her fiance Ryan and the gambling
- 14:07scandal. You guys were wrapped when that all broke. Did you guys pick
- 14:13up Did they pick up cameras to film that? That was the rumor out
- 14:16there? Yeah. Yeah, and I think all the girls posted. I
- 14:20didn't film because I was at Sophie's graduation. Yeah, I think they did
- 14:24film. Yeah, So you know, I mean, I've talked to and
- 14:31I reached out as soon as I heard, and she's okay, she's good.
- 14:35You know, she's still going to get married to him. I yeah,
- 14:39from what I oh, yes, And you know, they have a
- 14:41good relationship. And I understand that certain people don't like him or don't like
- 14:48their relationship. But at this point they've been together for over three years,
- 14:52so something's got to be working, you know. Well, I mean those
- 14:56jackets that he wears are working for her, so I mean I'm happy for
- 14:58them about Look, I mean, I love a nice like eighties and early
- 15:03nineties throwback, but when it's ironic, he seems to be doing it for
- 15:07real. But I look, I'm excited this season to me, which we're
- 15:13waiting on the trailer and everyone's like hello, hello, and the air date,
- 15:18but Shannon storms like end period dot there. Because the storm is a
- 15:26common for this season. It feels like and you are in the eye of
- 15:30it. You are, you are the storm, and I can't, like,
- 15:33I feel like you're being attacked from every single angle. And when I
- 15:39tell you I found out that well the name that shall not be mentioned,
- 15:43kind of like a Voldemort was going to be filming on this show, I
- 15:48pretty much lost my mind for you. Oh thank you. I mean it
- 15:52was you mean, it's a lot, it was a lot. It was
- 15:58a lot for me, you know. And again I am I am fine
- 16:02with my relationship with John being over. I don't Oh yeah, that was
- 16:07thing for us for to happen for us, so he can date whoever he
- 16:11wants. But you know, do I have to film with her? I
- 16:15mean he could have dated anybody, anyone. He's a private person, amy
- 16:22right, Yeah, he's so private, not thirsty at all, not interested
- 16:26at all. People are calling him the next Slade, although to Slade's credit,
- 16:30he's been married to Gretchen for many, many years, so they're still
- 16:34together. You know. No, he's doing red carpet interviews at oscar parties.
- 16:38Oh, good for him. I'm so glad that he has a platform.
- 16:42He needs that because, yeah, he was so private and it.
- 16:48Yeah, I'm sure that Alexis is coming on the show because she just happens
- 16:52to just be around and available, and probably they were sitting her story along,
- 17:00they were speaking to her prior to her meeting John. But yeah,
- 17:06they're talking to I mean, they're talking to everybody, you know, Like
- 17:10that's nothing to me. I mean, I appreciate that, that's even nice
- 17:15of you to say. But who was on this season? I read Tammy
- 17:18Knickerbocker, Gina Key, Oh, Joe Dala Rosa, So she would have
- 17:23just been another housewife coming in with a revolving door. There's no reason that
- 17:30she would have stayed around if it hadn't been for this. And I'm just
- 17:33curious, who were the people on the cast that had your back when it
- 17:37came to the Alexis and John thing. You know what? That is an
- 17:41answer that I'm going to lead to watch the show because it's it is.
- 17:47It's what you would not expect. Hm, Okay, I had incredible support.
- 17:53Oh thank god. Okay, if you were gonna tell me you were
- 17:56on an island, we'd have a problem. Yeah, it's you know,
- 18:00each cast. My bird did say if this were me, you're strong,
- 18:04because I wouldn't be able to handle it. I don't know that anyone would
- 18:08say, God, this is going to be a flip and fun time.
- 18:12Did you see John during this season of shooting? I have not seen John
- 18:18since the day we ended things. Wow. Did he ever reach out to
- 18:22you after the incident? Well, yes, we were still together. Then
- 18:27we were together then okay, and he at about close to two weeks after
- 18:36my DUI, he called me and said, we're done. You've ruined my
- 18:41life by making it so public. I'm sorry. I need to cue the
- 18:45laughter. Let me ask you this, did you see those contradictions in his
- 18:55personality when you were together, or did it appear after you know what.
- 18:59I remember having a conversation with Heather when we were close, and I said,
- 19:03it really bothers me. I think at this time I dated John for
- 19:06about three three and a half years, and I said, it really bothers
- 19:08me that when it comes to answering the question does John is he really a
- 19:14private person? Or does he enjoy this? I don't have the definitive answer
- 19:18because I felt that he enjoyed it, But yet he was so adamant and
- 19:22saying I'm only doing this because I love you and I don't want to do
- 19:26this and this is toxic and blah blah blah blah blah. But then he's
- 19:32you know, I did you see this coming? Like did you expect him
- 19:37to go this low? No? Yeah, I didn't either. I'll be
- 19:41honest, Like whenever I've met him, he seemed very nice and you guys
- 19:47seemed very happy. I didn't. I did not see this coming. I
- 19:51mean maybe other people will say that I didn't see it, but I don't
- 19:53see a lot of things coming. What are you going to do? Yeah,
- 19:56we thought we thought a lot and it's we're yeah, yeah, much
- 20:03better off. Are there any newbie like friend of this season besides the one?
- 20:10Yeah, besides the one that shall not be named? Yes, we
- 20:15do. We do have a new girl, okay, and she's sweet.
- 20:19She's sweet, all right. I got along with her good. Okay,
- 20:25that's nice. I heard you guys went to London. We did. That's
- 20:30exciting. It was. See. Here's the thing, guys, darlings who
- 20:38are listening. We're about to jump into a new season of Orange County that's
- 20:42going to be insane, and Shannon cannot spill the beans. Okay, So
- 20:49we are respecting that, we're respecting boundaries. And uh, she's poised,
- 20:55she's poised to be doing press soon, I'm sure. So I'm just excited
- 20:59about this to come out too, because I and I don't want to see
- 21:03you crying a lot. That's gonna hurt my heart. But I think I
- 21:07bet you probably are. Yeah, you know that's where I for me,
- 21:11I didn't want to cry because I want, you know, I I think
- 21:18that you'll see that I'm that this. I have improved myself, like I
- 21:25feel good about myself right now. And what's crazy is I don't want to
- 21:27be in a relationship right now. So really, yeah, it sounds like
- 21:33you have basically like you've dug down deep in yourself and you're building back up.
- 21:37And you know who Shannon Storms is, So yeah. I mean my
- 21:42next question was because one of the darlings, Deanna, wants to know if
- 21:47you are going to or if you're having a hot girl summer. Will you
- 21:48be having a hot girl summer? So are you dating? Will you be
- 21:52dating? I haven't gone on a date yet, but I do have two
- 21:56best friends that are guys. So what's fun is we're all single and we
- 22:03like, we were out to dinner last night. We see each other one
- 22:06or two times a week, and we had our first dinner at Gulf Stream
- 22:11and so we called ourselves the Gulf Stream three. That was just G three.
- 22:15So and you'll you will meet G three on the show. And so
- 22:18nice, Okay, cool, it's nice for me to have that male influence,
- 22:25but not you know, be dating anyone. So I'm so happy for
- 22:27you. And you look great obviously glam by Shan, but shout out glam
- 22:34to glam by Pam obviously, So I know that we have We don't really
- 22:41know what the ins and outs of the and I'm gonna ask you one more
- 22:45tamer question then we'll move on from that. But will we get more of
- 22:48an answer on this season about why you guys had a big falling out?
- 22:52Will we be told what happened? Yeah, yes, well you will,
- 23:00damn. Okay, great, Well, I saw a picture that you were
- 23:03hanging out with Kathy Hilton. What was that? He's well, she had
- 23:07a party for she's doing a collaboration with smearknof Ice. Yeah. So really
- 23:14sweet that I was asked to go to the party. So she's very kind.
- 23:18She's great, right. I love that you guys were paling around.
- 23:21Did you guys talk housewives and stuff? No? No, no, I
- 23:26mean she was busy too because it was her event, but she was very
- 23:30kind. Okay. I have a couple of questions from some of our darlings.
- 23:33Claudie wants to know who who are you friends with in real life since
- 23:37the last season wrapped? And as in, who who do you speak to?
- 23:44Actually, well, I'll tell you that because I don't want to give
- 23:48things away for because it's part of the storyline. But after the last season
- 23:53wrapped, the only person I kept in touch with was I mean camera a
- 23:59bit, but Vicky and so Owen wants to know if you could bring on
- 24:10any past O c housewife on next season to be a housewife or a friend
- 24:14of who would you choose and why? And he has a little parenthetical here
- 24:18that says, and no, Vicky cannot be an answer that would be I
- 24:26would say, I mean, I really loved having Taylor I'm strong on the
- 24:27show. She's so much fun. I got to be really close with her,
- 24:30and so I'd love to see her come back. And I met her
- 24:33a few times. I think I did watch What Happens Life with her,
- 24:37but I'd say, I'd say, Gretchen, oh my gosh, that's great.
- 24:44Wow, I love it. Yeah, I was bummed that Taylor wasn't
- 24:48going to come back. Yeah, I know, yeah she was. I
- 24:52thought she was great. I did too. That really surprised me. That
- 24:56one got me, like, I thought, you know what, she didn't.
- 25:00She wasn't trying too hard. She was being very organic, and I
- 25:03felt that that was a service to the franchise and that that would pay off
- 25:10because we all know her, you know, we already kind of know her.
- 25:12So yeah, and she's like historically now the very first crossover to go
- 25:18from one another. So yeah, do you know why they decided not to
- 25:23bring her back. Oh, we know nothing about all that. I know.
- 25:27It's like, it's so crazy how you guys are so kept in the
- 25:32dark. So all right, what, Oh, here's a question for mel.
- 25:38How's Archie doing, Archie? Oh my god, no, Archie,
- 25:47No Archie. Let's see if he recognizes me as you Archie, go pool,
- 25:52Archie, go swear Archie, gimbell Archie. He's great, he's great.
- 26:00But he's so excited because all three girls are home right now, so
- 26:04they you know, he has a lot more attention. Oh my god,
- 26:07I just love Archie. I know, so I know that you have.
- 26:14Okay, so all three girls are home. Sophie just graduated from college.
- 26:18That's blowing my mind. How's it going for you? Yeah, what's her?
- 26:21What's her story? It's great. So she graduated from Baylor and she's
- 26:26moving to New York City, So I'm so excited for her. Her boyfriend,
- 26:30they're still together, and he's to Temple University in Philadelphia. Nice,
- 26:37he's going to be a podiatrist and nice, like a train ride away.
- 26:42And and Adeline, one of my twins goes to school in New York City
- 26:48as well, so I'll have two daughters in the city. Well you begetting
- 26:52a predote there. Oh yeah, I would love to, but yeah,
- 26:56I mean I love that they're there. And then Stelle uh went to Paris
- 27:00and she was going to transfer to USC her sophomore year, but now she's
- 27:04staying in Paris this second year and she wants to transfer to n YU.
- 27:07Oh my gosh, that's amazing. What incredible girls, and what a great
- 27:15mom that you've been and that you are. What is your relationship? Well,
- 27:18like with David, do you do you talk to him when it comes
- 27:21to the girls? Is it still still When he and his wife were separated
- 27:27and going through the divorce process, he did take a photograph with me that
- 27:33went a little viral. Oh I remember that, and the girls graduated from
- 27:37high school. So we spoke then, but now nothing is here. He
- 27:45hangs up if he hears my voice in the background. Oh my god,
- 27:48was with him? So weird? What was I gonna say? He huh?
- 27:56Oh? Is he still married? Yeah? Oh my god. He
- 28:00has a daughter. I think she's probably three now, Okay, I just
- 28:03thought I remember they were both filing for divorce. They were going back and
- 28:07forth and it was so hilarious to watch. I know, I know,
- 28:12fun, Well do about it. I just you know, he was at
- 28:18the he was oh, he was at Sophie's graduation, so he was,
- 28:22you know, at the same party with me, but we didn't talk.
- 28:27Well, look, I mean maybe you're just better off living your separate lives,
- 28:32I guess clearly. So what else is going on in the OC?
- 28:38Uh? Like, what's what's on the docket for you in the OC?
- 28:44Well, I mean I am so I can't tell you the fun that I

- 29:04little ten city things, so great and a lot of time doing that.
- 29:10So I'm looking forward to it awesome. Well, everyone needs to look for
- 29:14more dates for the Vicky and Shannon Live and I need to go to cabaretmi.

- 29:41how Jeff is friends with all of like the housewives, and then when they
- 29:48feud like you and Tamera, does he still stay neutral? Yeah? I
- 29:55think so. I mean, I don't know how often they communicate. But
- 29:57I'm really close to Jeff. I mean yeah, closest friends. And we
- 30:03have the same birthday. Oh you thinks, what is the birthday mark to
- 30:07twenty fourth? Oh my god? And we found that out one year after
- 30:11knowing each other. We became close for us instantly, and it was just
- 30:15we just clicked. And then a year in it's like, oh, it's
- 30:18my birthday. It's my birthday too. It's crazy how well he does a
- 30:25good job at like, you know, still remaining friends with people and balancing
- 30:29that whole thing, which is which is always wild to see. So,
- 30:33but I am so excited to see you in person when I do, I'm
- 30:37sure that will hopefully be soon, and you look amazing. I'm so excited
- 30:41for I mean, I can't believe it's season eighteen of this show and I
- 30:45started, so it's my tenth year. I just finished my tenth year.
- 30:48Oh wow. And I started in season nine, Like nine seasons of a
- 30:53show is long, and that's what I started. So yeah, it's it's
- 30:57crazy. It's a lifetime. I mean, I've watched your daughters grow up
- 31:00and now they're out of the house and you have a whole new Like it
- 31:04seems to me like you're starting a whole new chapter and that's really refreshing for
- 31:10women to witness, for women to see, and I want to see your
- 31:12story told and on behalf of you know, the people who are your fans,
- 31:18like, thank you for sharing what you're sharing and not hiding and for

- 31:32forward to what the future is going to ring. I'm excited about it.
- 31:34And who would have thought that I'd say that, But I am excited.
- 31:37I hear you. I just turned fifty in February, and I had a
- 31:41similar experience in that I thought that, you know, people would be dreading
- 31:47you know, getting to getting older, to these types of ages, and
- 31:49I just feel invigorated. I feel empowered. I feel like it's a new
- 31:56like like I was saying to you, a new chapter and exploring a new
- 32:00self as you get older. And I think that should be more wildly embraced
- 32:05by people. And I think the Real Housewives obviously celebrate that. You look
- 32:09amazing by the way. It never would have thought it. Well, thanks,

- 33:58Shannon storms Bedore, and now Emily Jusis is here. Hi Emily, Hello,
- 34:04I can't wait to listen to the interview. I know it was really
- 34:07good. It was really really good. She was very vulnerable and I appreciated
- 34:12it. I'm so glad I had her on because you know, for a
- 34:15while. A lot of the times, you know, we cross paths and
- 34:19then we talk about getting together and doing an interview, and then a lot
- 34:22of the times it just gets pushed off. But we made it happen.
- 34:25But Emily is here and now we're going to talk about Below Deck. So
- 34:30first of all, we have to wrap up Below Deck season the finale,
- 34:35because we didn't get a chance to talk about that last week. And then
- 34:38we have a whole new season that just began of Below Deck med so which
- 34:44I'm super excited about. So Emily just to do quick broad strokes on closing
- 34:50the chapter on Below Deck. You know, we left off on the really
- 34:54intense cabin Captain Carrey's cabin checks, and and I can only imagine that Carrie
- 35:01was like pulling them aside after and being like, well, I had to
- 35:05do it. They was known enough drona going on, so we had to
- 35:08do these jakes and I had to get real wild up about it because now
- 35:13I got it. I didn't get initially why it was so important because I'm
- 35:20with you on like, oh, this is a bullshit thing, and then
- 35:22I was like, no, it actually does make sense that wow, Like
- 35:24fire safety okay, and like keeping like it clear in terms of narcotics and
- 35:32that kind of thing. Like I was like, oh, yeah, they
- 35:35really should be checking these rooms. And yet for the last I don't know,
- 35:40twelve seasons of Below Deck. No, I don't know they've we've not
- 35:45seen yet one cabin. True, this is true, This is very true.
- 35:51But listen, I am here for dereesis being a big time Carrie head
- 35:55because you know, if you're a Captain Carr, you're a Captain Stan,
- 35:59you're a Captain Carrie Stan totally and a Barbie stand and on our stand.
- 36:05Oh my god, even at the end, yes, I mean, are
- 36:12we jumping serious? Yes? Wait, I am shocked because I was like
- 36:15I was kind of here for Barbie most of the season. Then this last
- 36:22thing, I was like, oh, no, she is the problem.
- 36:25Hi, it's me. I'm the problem. It's me. And I thought,
- 36:29I think there was a lot we didn't see that she was like really
- 36:34provocative with her attitude. I think she kept it in check, you know,
- 36:38for most of the time. But just like Fraser said at the end,
- 36:43he said something really funny because she was like all season I worked really
- 36:46hard to put my ego aside. So she was really trying hard to not
- 36:51show that side of her, which is great, but she Fraser's like she
- 36:58took her reins off and she got up into herself, but she could not
- 37:05in that. Okay, so we'll do a point counterpoint in that shuttle bus
- 37:12Zandy said I would have fired you. Yeah, love blow. That kicked
- 37:19off everything, right, and she was like, you adapted, and you
- 37:23know it's like if people say stuff a big deal, Barbie in is in
- 37:29close quarters like that yelling at the top of her lungs, not at all
- 37:36like getting in control. She was out of control in confined quarters. So
- 37:42when what's her name, Paris when she piped up, I was like,
- 37:46geez, I mean we all got her point, like she can be mad.
- 37:51I would have actually gotten her side if this wasn't the finale And next
- 37:55day talked to Zany'd be like that was on a line, you know,
- 37:59like that wasn't cool, but for her to take it to two hundred was
- 38:06beyond beyond. Okay, Well okay, let me explain why you're wrong.
- 38:10Okay, So like a hard girl, I know you are a Fraser because
- 38:20to me, like the best metaphor was the miscommunication about the salt in terms
- 38:25of also Barbie, like Fraser, here's one thing that they don't want a
- 38:30lot of salt and or that there wasn't enough salt, and what they actually
- 38:35said was there was too much salt. And I feel like there's the same
- 38:37thing going on with Barbie, where like Fraser does not hear her kind of
- 38:44created this narrative about her. Meanwhile, I don't recall a cast member trying
- 38:49that hard to be the worker that they're being asked to be. Like Barbie
- 38:54really did commit and when they were in that vain for Zandy to do that,
- 39:00and I get that Zandy was stressed about other things. She felt like
- 39:05maybe Barbie wasn't pulling her weight on that last charter is hard, yeah,
- 39:08but like Zandy did start it, and for Barbie, I think it was
- 39:12just like the end of the line. And I do think there was good
- 39:15the I think what really upset Barbie in the van was not just her coworker
- 39:21throwing her under the bus sing she should get fired, but then Fraser also
- 39:25not having her back, Paris not having her back, and Kyle and Kyle
- 39:31being like, shut the fuck up, Shut the fuck up. If that
- 39:35was my fresh new boyfriend in a wooing phase. I would be like,
- 39:39go fuck yourself. He didn't say shut the fuck up, Yes he did,
- 39:44you need to shut the fuck up. Oh really? Oh yeah,
- 39:45well that's not cool. I thought he just said, like, calm down,
- 39:50you need to calm down. So, like it dawned on me very
- 39:53recently. And when I say recently, I mean yesterday, two days ago.
- 39:59When someone says calm down, shouldn't they say calm up? Like turn
- 40:01up the calm, not turned down the calm anyway, thank you know,
- 40:07I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree with that too. Now I do think that,
- 40:15Yeah, it kind of reminds me of like I hate when it's the
- 40:19same thing when I'm trying to turn up or down the air, you know
- 40:22what I mean? Like of so that's that is maybe what you're saying is
- 40:27the same problems. So it's like, well, you're turning down the air,
- 40:30but does that means that you're turning the air off or you're making it
- 40:36warmer because you're turning down the air. But then part of me is like,
- 40:39but if I'm turning down the air, that means I'm turning the air
- 40:44down to a cooler temperature. So I'm stuck there, you know, while
- 40:46you're stuck in that, I'm stuck over here with a fuging temperature gauge in
- 40:52my house and I don't know how to communicate it. Well, calm up,
- 40:55baby, we'll okay. Well let's go and calm up. You know
- 40:59what you need to calm up? Okay instead of shut up? I mean,
- 41:05you know what, let's bring shut up into it. Shouldn't it be
- 41:07shut down? Can you shut down? Yeah? Yeah, shutdown? Everybody.
- 41:12Calm up and shut down. Everybody, calm up and shut the freak
- 41:15down. I think we are solving life's problems, even though maybe not barbiees.
- 41:20But I will say Xandy, I really trust because she has been calmed
- 41:24up for the entire season. So for her to get a little drunk and
- 41:29like say that was shitty. That was absolutely shitty. So for her to
- 41:31say that, I thought was a total blow. But Barbie feels so entitled
- 41:37to like being on her best behavior behavior as to be humble and like by
- 41:44be like regular people because she is so rich. And when I did love
- 41:49that, she was like, I don't need this, I don't need you
- 41:52people I'm going to a five star resort right after this as she was packing
- 41:55your bag, you know what I mean, Like that's who she is.
- 41:59She is. She was putting a close over who she really is for the
- 42:06entire season. And she feels entitled to like get pats on backs for doing
- 42:13regular work, you know, and so does everybody on the boat. Everybody
- 42:19in the boat. She feels more entitled than other people. I think by
- 42:22the end of this I was going, Okay, I get it, and
- 42:25for Zandy to say that, I was thinking she must have been doing something
- 42:30more than we weren't seeing because that they weren't showing us. For Zandy to
- 42:35call her out like that, but her at her work ethic is good.
- 42:38Her attitude at the end of the day does kind of suck. And I
- 42:44really didn't expect to be turning on her this hard, but I kind of
- 42:47had to. That blow up was on you all forgetting that Barbie has been
- 42:52up against the wall with Fraser's weird vibe of like coddling people in need on
- 42:59the boat and totally just like like giving her like a hard time. She's
- 43:05had a hard six weeks with him, and she like, I think,
- 43:08like at the end of it. She was hoping for a gosh we got
- 43:13on the other side, but instead, like Zandy, all of a sudden,
- 43:15it just like comes for her. Yeah, it was crazy. I
- 43:20think did Yeah, I think that maybe she could have said it less times,
- 43:25like she could have maybe, like I get that, maybe it was
- 43:30the reaction was a little bit big, a little she didn't shut up,
- 43:35Emily. Can you imagine being a little drunk in a confined space with someone
- 43:42who will not stop yelling about the same thing over and over and over again,
- 43:47even if they're right, Even if they're right, it's annoying. Calm
- 43:52up, it's annoying. Yeah. But yeah, but at the end of
- 44:00the day, I'm just like, I get it. I kind of get
- 44:02a Barbie, especially she walked off the she was a baby, and she
- 44:07walked off that boat. We have to, I know, we have to.
- 44:13We have to move on. Okay, So she texts, well,
- 44:17lastly, I'll say, she does text Kyle and she says, change your
- 44:23ticket and I never want to see you again. Yeah, Kyle's glad because
- 44:29it was a bit of a roller coaster. Part of me almost feels like
- 44:31she sabotaged this unknowingly like that something happened within her to sabotage. Yeah.
- 44:40I think she looked she there was part of her maybe like you're saying,
- 44:45subconsciously that was looking for anything to do to miss step because she was putting
- 44:52everything on the line for Kyle and she needed him to put everything on the
- 44:54line and he had already kind of betrayed her her ask when they were out
- 45:00to dinner and he was literally showing his ass and so but she was really
- 45:06kind of cool about it in the end for how much she cared about it.
- 45:09Yeah, but this was this was too much. So this was the
- 45:15end. Yeah, it was the end. Like Captain Carrie, oh,
- 45:19go ahead. He even said she didn't fit in. So when I look
- 45:22around, I really have to look at like Captain Carrie even said like there
- 45:28was an issue there, you know. Yeah, man, he liked her.
- 45:31Yeah, he said she was She worked hard and she took notes and
- 45:36like, honestly, can you ask for anything more if you've like worked with
- 45:39somebody for them to actually take a note and like really do it, that's
- 45:44pretty impressive to me. Free But she doesn't. Yeah, she she yes,
- 45:50And well, Irony stated in my case, poorly. I'm fire you
- 45:57for that. Captain Carrie was dissatisfied by the boswain Ben in the end.
- 46:02He was like, wouldn't have done it, wouldn't have done it? Hashtag
- 46:06regrets and you know what christ I you know, I was surprised too that
- 46:13he's stuck by that at the end, because I didn't think Ben did that
- 46:15terrible of a job. Well it's I thought I was actually really disappointed in
- 46:22Ben where it was kind of like the last two episodes, the last charter
- 46:25and a half, he was king hung it up. Yeah, yeah,
- 46:30and you can't. I mean, it doesn't make just because it's the end
- 46:35of the season, doesn't make a situation less dangerous or less like unpredictable unless
- 46:40you check every box so right, And the fact that Captain Carrey I didn't
- 46:45know Captain Carrey knew that Ben was fully phoning it in and so I guess
- 46:50he did. I mean he had acknowledged it, but yeah, he's Captain
- 46:55Carrie sees he sees it all. At the end, I thought it was
- 46:59a really interesting ending that they had the voiceover of Captain Carrey going I came
- 47:05here knowing I had eight peaks shoes to fill. And then he goes on
- 47:08and says other things and he's like, boy, that was one hail of
- 47:12an Advenia, And I was like, oh my god, Like, I
- 47:15think that they had him do that just in case they get another captain in
- 47:22there, you know, for next season, because this was the first season
- 47:28without Captain Lee. So for him to acknowledge that, I thought that was
- 47:31really nice. Coming in, he knew he had epic shoes to fill,
- 47:35So I love that, you know, homage to Captain Lee. But leaving
- 47:40on that voiceover note, it made me think, Oh, they're so smart
- 47:44to do that just in case this season went poorly and the you know,
- 47:47and in the edit, like I think they wanted to cover their bases.
- 47:51And I mean, I wonder if he'll return. I think he's a great
- 47:54captain. I think he's great for the show. Would you like to see
- 47:57him come back? Yeah? I want to see him. You're I love
- 48:00Harriet. I want to say, I couldn't believe he was forty seven.
- 48:06He's forty seven, Yeah, shut it right now. I know. Well,
- 48:10did you think he was fifty seven? Yeah? I thought he was
- 48:15at least fifty six. I can't tell what this, Like, I'm older
- 48:20than Captain Carrey. That's crazy to me. Yeah it is, I think,
- 48:27like he yeah, the deck is not kind. I mean, but
- 48:31he's very hot. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's just that,
- 48:36like I was not expecting that. When did they like all of a
- 48:38sudden say how old he was? I totally missed he said it. He's
- 48:43so forty seven at the end. At the end, yeah, okay,
- 48:47okay, but he's so worldly to me or so like why so that's really
- 48:52what's his personality to me? That's the sea Dusty Emily. Yeah, but
- 48:59dumb is why we're gonna head on over to Below Deck Med. So excited
- 49:04to talk about Below Deck Med because not only our wonderful things happening for Captain
- 49:07Sandy, Like as we see she gets engaged this season to Leah on the
- 49:12show, we know she's already married. Asha is back. That's exciting.
- 49:17That's a lot already right out of the tank water Wolf. Sandy did not
- 49:28know how to handle all that energy coming out of her, even though they're
- 49:30friends. Yeah, sick, excited to be bad, excarted, Okay,
- 49:40Captain Sandy, all right, here's a okay, down girl, down you
- 49:54know. You know, I don't know if you knew this, but like
- 49:57I read Captain Sandy's book, but she had and she's meant before she had
- 50:00like seventy seven dogs growing up. So I always make reference to her having
- 50:05like all these dogs, like, ah, you remind me of Cookie,
- 50:09all right, Oh that's you know. It's like, so Asia is just
- 50:13another one of her dogs. She knows how to handle Asia because she's got
- 50:15you know, she's had many dogs. We get, uh, okay,
- 50:20So we're in Athens, Greece. Love that we're in the oldest European city.
- 50:23By the way, did you see the promotional picture of Captain Sandy with
- 50:28the trident, like besides the trident house? I love? Is that?
- 50:31Right? Yeah? Oh that was great? So good. I know I
- 50:37need to put that artwork on as the title artwork for the show because right
- 50:43now on Peacock it's just her and Kyle still. Oh dang, yeah,
- 50:47update that meanwhile, make that a beautiful mural somewhere. Yes, I think
- 50:57it on the side of your house. I was just to say it can
- 51:00be in Santa Clarita because there's fucking plenty of space up here, you know
- 51:04what I mean. Like, we will one hundred percent do it here.
- 51:07You guys are familiar with Santa Clarita, but it's the place that has the
- 51:12Captain Sandy Poseidon tried end mural. That's what will be known as from here
- 51:15on out. We'll commission someone or not. We'll just get someone who's gonna
- 51:21do it for their own passion, you know, the passion, a passion,
- 51:24project a passion. Just get that graffiti like a banks either you're the
- 51:31banks of Santa Clarita. Let's see what you got. Come on, you're
- 51:34a leader. Paint on the back of Coco's. That place is done anyway,
- 51:40So that's great love that what else? Oh? Yeah, so we
- 51:45have Ian Labosa and okay, Juno or Jono that's the culinary architect who I
- 51:52love is also a dancer. He's just a ton of fun, right,
- 51:55unless you want a grilled cheese at two am I, Emily, did you
- 52:01see like what Captain Sandy says next week? Yes, don't wake up the
- 52:06chef. I'm speechless, Like I don't even know what to say because I
- 52:13was completely on her side, on Ellie's side, Yeah, and I thought
- 52:17she was doing the right thing, so went too Oh you were too.
- 52:22Well, yeah, I mean I thought like I, first of all,
- 52:28like the whole provisions of everything was crazy. I mean that I have a
- 52:31lot of questions about that. So yeah. But at the same time,
- 52:36so I get that everybody's over it already. I just thought like, Okay,
- 52:42well she can do a grilled cheese, right. But then they all
- 52:45seemed like understaffed out of nowhere. I mean, I know people were sleeping,
- 52:49but the whole time they felt understaffed. Is it just me? Or
- 52:53shouldn't there be another interiors too? Like when they just had the three,
- 52:59I was like, wait a minute, because this is a huge Yeah.
- 53:05Yeah, I can't even remember like it was the last one was Kyle,
- 53:09Kyle and Natasha or yeah, Natasha and Baz. It starts with the tea,
- 53:20starts with the ta anyway, okay, whatever the chiefs to Anyway,
- 53:24I was just trying to do a quick headcount. But the galbris on this
- 53:28one needs to go immediately. This steamer you'd be running circles around her and
- 53:34there, I mean, this is on it. I'm sorry, inexcusable behavior.
- 53:39Six point five hours in there, and what have you done for me
- 53:45lately? I mean, is she on pills because I didn't understand that allegedly,
- 53:52and yeah, I don't even know. I'm dumbfounded by the amount of
- 53:57time that was spent in that laundry room, dumbfounded by the Provisions errors left
- 54:02and right, and dumbfounded that I was caught so off guard because I really
- 54:07thought I knew the sea. I really thought I knew what was going on
- 54:09on these ships. And so when she was waking up the chef, I
- 54:14was like, yeah, because we've seen that before. We've seen like Kate
- 54:16Chastain go in there, We've seen other We've seen them all go in and
- 54:21wake up the chef or talk to the chef, you know, and maybe
- 54:24go back out and do something. But the fact that like she's gonna get
- 54:29scolded for waking him up, I'm very not happy about this. I thought
- 54:34he should have. I thought so too. And I also thought, like,
- 54:40God, I'm so glad I'm not on this boat right now, because
- 54:45the Provisions thing was just like making me so stressed out. I can't believe
- 54:52that that. Like Sandy was like, yeah, the provisions company let us
- 54:58down. They failed us. Name the company name. I don't use that
- 55:04company on my name. Them name name the Provisions company. All I know
- 55:13is that, like in the wake of all these Bravo lawsuits, I get,
- 55:17Provisions is going to get one, and it's going to be Bravo suing
- 55:22the Provisions company, and I will back that. But I love my question,
- 55:28Oh about this real quick? Oh yeah, why I love because you've
- 55:31seen every season of Blowjack. I've missed a few here and there, Okay,
- 55:36But like my understanding is they could have sent a couple of the guys
- 55:40out to a liquor store or whatever and just get your red when I guess
- 55:45what I'm saying is, if you have a drinking group coming on, make
- 55:50sure you've got that covered because you can just get them wasted while you're figuring
- 55:54out all the other shit, right, That's always the thing. Just get
- 55:58them drunk and then we'll figure it out. So, like, if your
- 56:00alcohol's not there two hours before, what's the harm in sending like a couple
- 56:06of deckhands out to the mainland to like stock up on booths. You're going
- 56:08to go through the booze, head on over to the acropolis, see what
- 56:14they're serving up there, and grab a couple of bottles and come on back
- 56:16I mean, I agree with you. I was like, why isn't anyone
- 56:20just leaving the super yacht? Now? My only question is that there could
- 56:23be some maritime rules about that, like you have to sign in on the
- 56:30boat, you have to have somebody sign you in. Remember that whole there
- 56:34was a season where we saw all of that, and you sign in,
- 56:37it's really official, like it's like you stamp it. You have to have
- 56:39a witness all this stuff. So maybe once you are there, you cannot
- 56:44leave within a certain time of when you're supposed to be leaving. But the
- 56:47biggest problem is that if you remember they were leaving that next day, typically
- 56:54they usually have like maybe two days before they leave, or at least a
- 56:59long hunger span of time, whereas like they got on the boat, they
- 57:02had to turn it over in one night. Then they had this quick charter,
- 57:06because they're making references to this not being a full charter, so it's
- 57:08like a quick one. So it seems like they didn't regardless, the provisions
- 57:15company failed them. There was no excuse for them to not have what they
- 57:19needed when their charter started. That should have all been lined up. But
- 57:22I agree, what are the reasons as to why you couldn't have sent somebody
- 57:28out to go grab a couple of bottles of wine if you are in Athens,
- 57:31like you know, I don't know. There has to be something.
- 57:36Well, also, like those engineers aren't on the boat. I would have
- 57:38been like, hey, can you go get these this booze for us or
- 57:42something like pay somebody that can do it. I just I don't know.
- 57:47I was so like to me, I thought, if I'm understanding everything the
- 57:52way I think I am, that I think could have been corrected in this
- 57:57small way. Agree. So there must be some spoken rule or actually written
- 58:01rule that we don't know about as to why they didn't do that. Or
- 58:04maybe the nearest like liquor place was ten twenty miles away, Maybe it was
- 58:10a Sunday, maybe all shops are closed, Maybe they don't sell her on
- 58:15Sunday. You know, there could be all a slew of reasons that could
- 58:17actually be what it is. So, but I do wish they would have
- 58:23addressed that. I wish that they would have said, yes, this is
- 58:27why we can't do it. Yeah, right, because I was thinking the
- 58:29whole time, well, they've corrected these issues before everybody. He needs to
- 58:32know you know, I'll be a little more transparent with us. It was
- 58:37fun to see Ellie back. We did get to see her for a short
- 58:40span of time in the last charter season. We remember her from her bunny
- 58:45costumes and all that stuff. So yeah, she's like, I have so
- 58:50many costumes. I've been like like a bear mascot. Nope, just latex
- 58:57playboy buddy. Yeah, this thong. These are cosy. She loves just
- 59:02sexy. Yeah, I mean it might as well be like a you know,
- 59:06I say party city. You know, sexy sexy girl. Halloween is
- 59:12what coscimes are. That's her vibe. Crew cabin has a leak in the
- 59:17hatch. I love the trip. Drip drip, like calm before the storm.
- 59:25And then Sandy welcomes everybody and she's like pressure makes us better. And
- 59:30then she just basically does her whole speech about like respect each other, no
- 59:34sexual harassment, no drinking on charter. Right, let's do this. And
- 59:37then then we have like our first charter which sees influencers, which I mean,
- 59:44that's funny to watch because they're just all about it. Well, but
- 59:49they weren't as bad as I thought, because they we've had influencer Charters before,
- 59:52and they're all on the phone constantly. I was actually impressed that these
- 59:57guys were like, we're just gonna get our hot content. But then they
- 1:00:00were like, actually, like not on their phones as much as I thought
- 1:00:05they were. It would be yeah that other like Charter in the regular Below
- 1:00:08Deck season they were all like filming with their phones constantly, But these people
- 1:00:14are more active content creators where they actually do videos of themselves doing activities somewhere,
- 1:00:21you know. So that was definitely a different aspect of it, which
- 1:00:23made it more interesting because they're active. You know, they're behind the bar
- 1:00:28shaking. So yeah, they were engaged too as humans. So I appreciated
- 1:00:32that because I thought it was going to be very annoyed and then I was,
- 1:00:37and I get why they were annoyed. I mean, I kind of
- 1:00:40cut their frustration. But the late night snacking is tough. Like when they're
- 1:00:47being really demanding and it's twelve thirty at night and they're in the hot tub
- 1:00:51asking for guac and nachos and all this stuff, I feel like that should
- 1:00:58be like there should be more structure around what they should be able to get
- 1:01:05at that point so that we're not in this situation. You know, yeah,
- 1:01:07there should be a late night menu that isn't like there's pre made,
- 1:01:13Like the grilled cheese is all buttered and ready in the frite. You pull
- 1:01:16that out, you grill it, like yeah, yeah, it does feel
- 1:01:20like we we will get into this situation again. Yeah, likequak is easy.
- 1:01:27Nachos I did think would be easy, but then I thought maybe it's
- 1:01:30not like you got to put it if Yeah, how big are we talking?
- 1:01:34Like? I guess so grilled cheese and guad. Also they're like,
- 1:01:37where's our mohitos? And I'm like, oh my god, she has to
- 1:01:38muddle at twelve thirty at night and make grilled cheese and go wake this guy
- 1:01:44up. And it was just too much. And then what's her toes?
- 1:01:46Who can't steam to save her life, You're not going to be able to
- 1:01:50count on her. But I was also worried about you know, Asia.
- 1:01:58It's tough because she put these people in at night on the first charter,
- 1:02:02and that may have been where things went wrong. Do you think Asia should
- 1:02:07have maybe spend the one to stay up do ladies and instead of monies and
- 1:02:13and breathyes, and lunchees and you know what I mean, don't you think?
- 1:02:17I don't know because I gotta do the I think the night time's a
- 1:02:23better risk to put the your less uh less valuable player on because people are
- 1:02:32going to be really drunk and it's not gonna you're not going to remember it
- 1:02:36as much, whereas the morning you're on the shittiest vibe remembering everything. So
- 1:02:44I do think that you'd want your best foot forward in the morning. Yeah,
- 1:02:47And I think that, like Ellie was fine, it just was a
- 1:02:52lot. And I think I would get on these yachts and just assume I
- 1:02:55would never do this, but I would just assume like there's there's a server
- 1:03:00for anything I ever could want. So if I went a mohedo at two
- 1:03:05am, I get that mohedo, And if I want a grilled cheese at
- 1:03:08four am, well here it is, because I feel like that's what that's
- 1:03:12part of what you're selling with those yachts. So yeah, yeah, I
- 1:03:15don't know. Well, they really got like the short end of the stick
- 1:03:21because between them trying to get dressed for dinner and they didn't have her clothes.
- 1:03:25Oh my god, geese, that guy said that pain. Yeah,
- 1:03:30she's been doing this for two years and she's not finished one charter, Like,
- 1:03:35yeah, that's a red flag. That was a real red flag.
- 1:03:39Why are you here? Also, she grew up with a maid. This
- 1:03:43is another Barbie graduation. Yeah, but she's actually Barbie was a better worker
- 1:03:52than Bree clearly. So all right, Well, I don't know if there's
- 1:03:58anything left to say. Great, I'm excited for this season. I'm really
- 1:04:02happy to see Captain Sandy back the deck crew. Fine, like we didn't
- 1:04:09really get too much out of them this episode, but it was mostly interior
- 1:04:13stuff and provisions. But excited, excited, very yeah, I will say,
- 1:04:18did you back to real quick the regular below deck? Did you see
- 1:04:24that Ben and Sunny are still together? And what? Yeah? Where did
- 1:04:30you see that? I mean they've been, They've posted about it. They're
- 1:04:34like now that now that the season's over, like we can tell you,
- 1:04:38like we're thing, Oh my god, I can't. I'm shocked. Yeah,
- 1:04:43yeah, I mean as of like this weekend when I read that,
- 1:04:45maybe they're not too Usually they have a reunion, you know, like a
- 1:04:54zoom reunion. So I mean maybe it was on last night for Watch What
- 1:04:58Happens Live, because sometimes they do that yeah, I read it a couple
- 1:05:01days ago, so as far as I know, they are still an item.
- 1:05:05And yeah, very happy about it. For that, I mean,
- 1:05:10they are happy about it. I really don't care that much, right,
- 1:05:14I know, it's I'm very indifferent. Well, this was exciting to do
- 1:05:20both below decks. We can wrap it up in a nice little package and
- 1:05:24sail away from Below deck og and just just really sink our sea teeth into
- 1:05:30the med from the for the next for the rest of the summer, and
