1:02
Asia at watch What Happens Live And I was like, no way. So
1:07
I don't always watch what Happens Live. It just kind of I tried to.
1:10
I tried to keep up right, So last night I totally watched it
1:12
and I was so excited that and he was like an our special guest in
1:17
the VIP seats, well actually the Oprah seats right isn't that what that is?
1:21
Yeah, like the front there's like two or three seats in the front
1:23
there. Yeah. He was really nice. It was actually really awesome because
1:26
he I don't know, he still does. He had a house over at
1:30
far Island where I run my boat, so and like I didn't even ask
1:34
him, but he was like, you know, how's fire aland Pines doing.
1:38
You know, he was asking him about you know, the fairy and
1:40
something. He was like super nice, remembered everything, and it was cool
1:42
to kind of catch up with him for a little bit. He is so
1:47
loyal and so like when he likes you, he's going to remember all the
1:52
details. You know. Yeah, very personal. Like even like before he
1:56
went to Asha's dressing room, I guess she went to a concert like a
1:59
week or so go. He was like, oh, how was the concert
2:01
you know the other day like that. So yeah, it's just like a
2:05
little little things like that, Like he's super nice guy. Yeah, he's
2:07
great. I love that they had Snoopy at the bar. I was dying.
2:13
We were all just like freaking out. They were like, because it's
2:19
it's a movie that came out a Snoopy movie, is that right or something?
2:22
Some streaming. I'm hope it's like a series, like a like a
2:27
camp Snoopy I thing, But yeah, I guess like Ben watched it like
2:31
twice already. Yeah. Andy obviously loves Snoopy, has always loved Snoopy,
2:38
and so it's like this big, stuffy well I would say it's a It
2:42
was a real person dressed up as Snoopy, and and it was so funny
2:46
because like during the show, obviously they're gonna talk about like sex and so
2:50
all the things that were a little blue for Snoopy. Snoopy would like take
2:54
his big paws and cover his ears and be like yeah, his eyes and
2:59
be like it's funny. It was so fun to see you. Though I
3:06
loved it, I'm just always like, when is Colleae gonna get back on
3:08
our TV than you? Have they ever reached out to you to come back?
3:14
Or is it that they just are like, we love you, but
3:15
they always want to have a revolving cast. Yeah, you know, I
3:20
think they they love the revolving cast. It is fresh every year, you
3:25
know what I mean, which keeps exciting, you know, which I get.
3:29
But at the same time, they do I think want to reuse us
3:32
in a way. I think they're still trying to figure like we did Galli
3:36
Talk for like four seasons. Yes, you know, so they did that
3:39
for a while. They loved seeing like the alums and you know me and
3:44
terracting with Bobby, you know, because he was on a different season.
3:46
Asha I think was with Kyle for a season. So they love like the
3:49
crossovers. So I'm sure they're trying to find, you know, ways to
3:54
use us. Say I love Galli Talk and that was You're right, that
4:00
was such a great way to like intersect, cross pollinate. Really a lot
4:05
of the standouts, the people who have a lot of charisma and have an
4:10
opinion and the ones that you want to see back, You're getting to see
4:14
them in that way, which is kind of like a people's couch, you
4:17
know, as type of thing, which is so smart. I wish they
4:20
would do more of that. But and you keep in touch with Kate Chastain.
4:25
Obviously I called her or she called me like a month or two ago.
4:30
I ansd her some questions, but yeah, she's doing great. She's
4:31
dooing mom life, she's seeing busy, So I think right now she's still
4:35
in Florida, But you see you're on Traders. Do you watch Traders?
4:41
Yeah? Yeah, she killed killed. I wasn't that insane? I know,
4:45
she's so good and uh and you know she's just like she's just so
4:49
natural at it, and I'm like, you know, keep doing it,
4:51
keep going. So when you were on below Deck, med, I'm trying
4:58
to remember who was it Hannah that was your chiefs to I had Hannah?
5:03
Yeah, I think I had her both. I had both seasons, but
5:06
I think that was my last season was four. I think when she got
5:12
that whole thing with her and Malia, then that might have been five.
5:15
Okay, but yeah, I had her, you know, both both seasons.
5:18
That was such an unfortunate end for her journey on Below Deck, and
5:26
I remember it being very you know, contentious and obviously Captain Sandy, I
5:32
mean, I'm such a huge Captain Sandy fan, you know what I mean.
5:35
Obviously, two sides to every story, but that was a wild situation
5:39
and such a bummer that it ended that way. Do you ever keep in
5:42
touch with Hannah or No? Why again? I think I talked to her
5:46
about a month or so ago. Uh. Yeah, we're talking about,
5:51
you know, maybe possibly different projects, just Australia life. You know,
5:58
you know, she's got she's a mom also, oh and you know busy
6:00
over there overseas. So everyone's doing well. Everyone's busy. Yeah, you
6:05
know what I mean, like like you know, like Bobby, like he's
6:10
he's a yacht broker. Uh, you know, like get they get older,
6:14
they move on, right they they love the the maritime industry still.
6:17
You know, it's just cool to see like where they kind of branch off
6:23
to into the Internet world. And so it's really interesting and everyone's doing well,
6:27
everyone's happy, everyone's healthy, and uh you know that's that's all that
6:30
matters really and and you're doing great obviously, and so like what's your schedule
6:35
If people were to wanna, you know, do a charter with you on
6:40
the ferry, like they would have to go where and when and how?
6:45
Yeah, so I do. I run all the ferries out uh to out
6:50
of Stable, Long Island, small town on south Shore, Long Island.
6:54
We go to uh Far Island, Pines, Cherry Grove, Sailors Haven and
7:00
and a private community Water Islands and Myland Pines and Cherry Grove. They are
7:05
the big you know, you know, very LGBTQ plus communities they go crazy
7:12
for the July is really the big kickoff. It's called the big event,
7:15
that's called the Invasion, and it's when we bring thousands of drag queens from
7:19
one beach to the other behind it. That won't get into now, but
7:25
it's a big party. It's crazy. Everyone has fun. And yeah,
7:30
so if you guys are ever in Sable or trying to go to Fire Island,
7:32
you know, I'll be around. I'm sure. Oh that's so awesome.
7:36
When you're doing this, do you get like, what is the percentage
7:41
of people that are like, hey, colleie, you know, are they
7:45
do people like you know, fan out? Yeah? I get I get
7:48
a good amount of it. But what's more frustrating is they don't ask me
7:51
how I'm doing. They ask me how my parents are doing. I know
7:58
that's the first question. I'm like, oh, well, screw me.
8:00
But but my parents, well yeah, okay, yeah, and my parents
8:05
my mom is specific, she loves it, and everyone's so nice and yeah,
8:09
it's it's definitely a heartwarming. That's amazing. So you're really, how
8:13
far are you from New York City? Like, what's that? I'm dead
8:18
center from mont Talk The Hampton's and the city. I'm dead center right on
8:24
the water on the south shore, and yeah, so I'm like an hour
8:28
away from each you know, each points, you know each ends, if
8:31
you want to call it that. And I don't believe I didn't think about
8:35
it, but wow, you should be on the summerhouse, you know.
8:39
I've I've actually I'm friends with Carl. I'm friends with Carl. I'll talk
8:41
to him a couple of times. I went to Kyle's fortieth birthday last year.
8:48
I was last summer, the summer before Kyle's fortie. I forgot when
8:52
that was. Yeah. All invites me out to all of the parties all
8:54
the time, you know, but I'm running boat, so I try and
8:56
make it out as much as I can. Like, yeah, he's he's
9:00
good, he's a good guy. So Carl, you're friends with Carl?
9:03
Oh my god? So what are your takes on this entire thing with Lindsay
9:07
and Carl. I mean, I have to get your hot hot takes you
9:09
again. You know what's hard is the TV aspect of things, you know,
9:15
with the Hannah Sandy thing. Yeah, I'm not there, you know,
9:22
so like what you see on TV is I'm assuming way different than what
9:26
actually happened in real life. And obviously that that kind of happened throughout the
9:30
season with Carl Lindsay, but you know, it just didn't seem like a
9:33
good fit. And you know, hopefully they've you know, they've buried the
9:39
hatchet and they can kind of move on and go there separate ways. So
9:46
yeah, go ahead. Did you ever spend any time with the two of
9:48
them or just with Carl mostly Carl? We got dinner one night a year
9:54
or so ago, and I met Lindsay and Carl. We did one of
9:58
the NBC upfronts. Yeah, I don't know it was last year again or
10:01
the year before. Hung out with them for a little bit, But I'm
10:05
super nice people. I just maybe it's just, you know, with them
10:07
too specifically, it just didn't seem like it was gonna work out. I
10:11
mean, that was insane television to watch. Yeah, yeah, and it's
10:16
hard. And actually, when I was talking to Asia last night, we
10:20
were talking about how different Below Deck is with all those shows because they they
10:26
deal with their lives every day every weekend. We are just in a work
10:31
environment, so it's different. No one really knows, like what's going on
10:35
like in my house, you know what I mean, Like we're working on
10:37
a boat, so there's more. I think there's way more credit for those
10:41
guys that somehow Southern charming upon all those guys, because that's very in detail
10:48
every day. So I don't know how they do it. Well, would
10:52
you do it like? I mean, knowing how different it is, because
10:56
it would be a completely different experience should you have go on, like say,
11:00
if they ever bring back Winter House. I mean, that would be
11:01
so awesome if you did Winterhouse, because that's when they take you know,
11:05
everybody from different. But you know, would you ever do that? Oh?
11:11
Yeah, you know, I think I think it's it's a different perspective.
11:15
It's outside of you know, talking about below deck people. It's outside
11:20
of a uh you know, a work environment. You're living your everyday life.
11:24
You're hanging out with maybe new people you would never hung out with before,
11:30
right because they're mixing shows together. Yeah, you know flames, you
11:33
know. Uh so there's a lot that happens. Whereas you know, you're
11:37
stuck on a boat for six weeks, you know. Uh so it's kind
11:41
of nice to not you know, to be on land and to kind of
11:46
I'm surprised that they've never, like Bravo's never done anything with Fire Island in
11:52
that whole experience and just what that's like there and just going there for the
11:58
summer shooting something. I mean, it seems like it's just rot with entertainment.
12:03
Yeah, I know, it's funny. I actually have a Fire Island
12:09
pitch on my computer. It was very hard to do. Not only am
12:15
I pitching the show, but I have to pitch what Fire Island is to
12:20
eat people, and I'm like, I can't. It's so hard to describe
12:24
what it is unless you come out for like a weekend and like experience it
12:28
yourself. It's wild, it's a good time. And yeah, I mean,
12:33
you know, hopefully you should send Andy a DM and just be like,
12:37
hey, I got this soft pitch. Love to run by you and
12:39
see what he says. Yeah, if that's something he'd be interested. You
12:43
know, I have everything, you know, I drew everything very professionally and
12:46
it's ready to go. If anyone is interested, reach out to Andy,
12:50
I'm telling you, and be like, hey, can I can I send
12:52
you my Fire Island pitch? Right? Yeah? I said, I'm not
12:56
you know, I don't know, if that's the way to do things.
12:58
Yes, I want to use your connections and that, you know, and
13:03
if he says like, well, I you know, don't send it to
13:07
me, but send it here, He'll move you on to somebody else.
13:09
You know. Yeah, Oh, I totally think you should do that.
13:13
Don't sit on it. I've had it for a couple of years and it's,
13:16
like I said, it's it's very hard to describe Fire Island. So
13:20
it's well and he knows, so like he would be the perfect person to
13:22
champion it. Should he you know, yeah, I think you should do
13:26
that. Okay, well I'm championing you to do that, so well,
13:30
that's super cool. I'm so excited that you're here and we were going to
13:33
talk about last night's Below Deck med and we're in season nine, which is
13:39
crazy. You were seasons what seasons were you or? Four, four,
13:43
three, and four? Wow? God, years ago. I mean I
13:48
just can't even believe it. That was that was We filmed in seventeen and
13:54
eighteen, aired in eighteen and nineteen. So yeah, so that was.
13:58
That was a long time. And it's great though, because it still feels
14:01
like you were just there and obviously It's really nice to see you, like,
14:05
you know, be everywhere, uh, you know with Galley Talk and
14:09
just on social media and all that stuff. Have you ever been to Greece?
14:15
Never been the only actually the only two places in Europe I've been were
14:20
Italy and South of France, where my seasons were. Greece is on my
14:24
bucket list, and you know, being the Irish guy that I am,
14:28
Ireland is on my bucket list as well. But yeah, I would love
14:31
to make Greece is beautiful. And the footage that they're getting is insane.
14:35
It's crazy. I love like the the the promotional materials that they did of
14:43
Captain Sandy with the with the poseidon try tryad and the and the the hair,
14:50
you know, like the crown, so epic. So Gigi comes on
14:58
this this uh chart and this is Sandy's friend. Did you ever meet her?
15:01
Was she on one of your charters? I feel like I don't know
15:05
if it was her. We had a tennis player, yeah, Olympics.
15:09
I don't know if it was her or not. I don't remember that was
15:11
season four, No, no, no, that was that wasn't me.
15:16
That was the season after. I remember you talking about a Galatoe. She
15:18
brought her like Olympic medals. Oh right, right, yeah, season or
15:22
two after me, but yeah, I remember talking about I don't remember it
15:26
was her, but it was Olympic. She had like all these medals and
15:28
trophies and stuff that she brought. It was pretty cool. Yeah, that's
15:31
amazing. Seventeen Grand Slams in tennis and she won two Olympic medals. It's
15:37
crazy. I love I love seeing her. I love that. Captain Sandy's
15:41
like, yeah, she did a charter and then we became friends. She's
15:46
crazy, she's a leader, she's a winner, and they're just like they're
15:50
like destined to be besties, right, So and then to find out that
15:56
one of the guests are like her tennis partner is neighbor with Joe Biden,
16:00
and like that whole thing is just hilarious. So these are very upscale,
16:06
uh you know, charter guests. And now they're on here and we've got
16:11
a real problem with this chef. He is chef Chef Johnno. He starts
16:21
with this really spicy taco situation and they like show you what all the spices
16:26
that he's putting in it, you know, And I'm like I would die.
16:30
Like, first of all, I can't handle a lot of spice because
16:32
they've got acid reflux, and I'm total whimp. So I'm like, oh
16:37
my god, Oh my god, these guests, and I thought it was
16:38
gonna be way worse than it actually was. But there was just a bizarre
16:42
like I saw that he put cardimen in there, and I'm like, yeah,
16:45
that's like an Indian spice, and okay, maybe that's gonna taste good
16:48
with the taco spices. But they picked it up immediate and they were like
16:52
something is in here that that doesn't you know, go what is wrong with
16:56
this picture? So right off the bat, like when the charter guests get
17:00
that lunch and it's not good, does it just really set the tone for
17:04
a where you were like, oh shit, we got to like pick up
17:07
the pace here. For first of all, I feel bad for Asia because
17:12
I think she even said it last night, like she's essentially the face of
17:18
right because right the chef is still doing his thing in the galley, so
17:22
like Asia basically guess the brunt of it. She's like like it's like embarrassing
17:29
kind of way. But so when when food service goes wrong, the deck
17:33
crew. They kind of make up for it on the water, right,
17:38
like you know, like, yeah, they may not have had a good
17:41
lunch, but you know, let's do war sports. Let's do a game
17:44
with them, you know, similar to uh, you know the dinner,
17:47
right, the dinner didn't really go so they did the toga thing to kind
17:49
of get their mind off of you know, you just got them a little
17:52
bit. So yeah, it's definitely a little more pressure. When the chef
17:56
doesn't like hit it does the word go out pretty quick like dekru, dekru.
18:02
The lunch suck. So pick up the pace, put all the water
18:04
toys in. It's like, yeah banana, you know, all the paddle
18:11
boards, all that stuff. Yeah, it's we try and keep them busy.
18:14
I mean, of course, Captain Sandy's all about the water toys.
18:18
So like when you were on with her, please walk me through like her
18:22
passion for the water toys, Like is she really like are you to the
18:26
point where you're like, Sandy, we get it, you love the water
18:27
toys like we've got it? Or is she always like riding you guys about
18:32
the water toys always always, But you know it's in a good sense because
18:37
I think my first year, I had Conrad as my boats and and he
18:44
he would like put out like a couple toys that that that they thought they
18:52
would like, not all of them. And that's what Mollard Sandy was like,
18:55
I don't care if they like or don't like or don't even use them.
18:57
I want everything out up. So that was the big thing. And
19:02
then with Juell the following season being Bosin and he and Jack, they actually
19:06
did a good job. They inflated everything and like laid everything out like nice
19:08
presentation. You know you want a battle board, grab it, Gove you
19:12
want to, jess KEI will grab it for you. Go. So she
19:15
I think she appreciated Joao's leadership doing that'll throw everything out. She can't do
19:22
anything negative because we you know, we put everything out on the water.
19:26
So but I get her side of it, like you want everything available for
19:29
the guests just to make them happy, right, And so that slide.
19:33
And then when Ian when the bosin Ian was like pulling it in and he's
19:37
getting mad at Nathan and like and Nathan's like, yeah, when he he
19:45
gets frustrated and he gets really mean and micromanages, like what was it that
19:49
he was doing as a bosin that was wrong in that situation other than being
19:52
seems to me like a total asshole. No, yeah, yeah, And
19:56
you know what, I think a lot of people forget that. It's you
20:03
know, you're you're really working for the tips, right, That's basically how
20:06
we get paid, so you want to have to be perfect. It's kind
20:08
of high pace. I think at the time, Sandy was moving the boat,
20:12
so they were kind of in a hurry. It was him and I
20:17
think Joe like pulling the slide up. Those slide weighs a million pounds and
20:22
I'm not even exaggerating. So when Nathan was like kind of you know,
20:25
taking his time, you know, turning the corner trying to help, Ian's
20:30
kind of like let's go, like, you know, just like leisurely take
20:34
the slide out, like we're moving, like, let's go. So it
20:37
was Nathan that was really not pulling his weight. That's how I saw it,
20:42
you know, you know Ian Like, again I might misspoke, but
20:45
I think they were moving the boat. Yeah, so you gotta hurry.
20:49
It's not like, oh, let's take our time, you know, so
20:52
it to be done at at a speed, you know, safely obviously,
20:56
but yeah, when he's just kind of taking his time as a leader,
21:00
I would be frustrated. Got it? Yeah? Oh good, Okay,
21:04
well that's good to know. Yeah, that slide, I don't know.
21:08
When I'm looking at that, I'm like, how are they Is it deflating
21:11
as it's being pulled up? And that's just why? Okay, gotcha?
21:15
It was like all these little questions. I'm always so curious about the little
21:18
details because I'm like, how are they doing that? And then the other
21:22
thing I wanted to ask you was like last week when they were docking and
21:29
he was having a really hard time with the ropes. You know what I'm
21:32
talking about? Yep, yep, what happened there? So the wind list
21:37
is like a like a mechanical thing on the deck that you tie the line
21:41
around it and then you push this butt with your foot and it keeps spinning
21:45
and it tightens the line. So the line that's on the dock, when
21:49
you tighten the wind list, the boat will then get closer to the dock.
21:55
The line on the wind list was slippery. It was slippy, slippery,
21:59
sorry, So when they were trying to tighten the lines, the line
22:03
wasn't catching the windless and it just kept falling off. So Sandy was getting
22:07
frustrated that the boat wasn't getting tighter to the dock, and I think I
22:11
forgot who it was. Joe or Ian was saying, oh, well,
22:12
the lines were slipping. It was like, well, you have to somehow
22:17
make it work so tight, you know, do an extra wrap on it,
22:19
you know, use more muscle, uh, you know, more tension.
22:22
I will obviously make it better, easier to bring it in. But
22:25
yeah, that was another problem last week that they had. Okay, so
22:29
the way to fix that he would have just had to do it tighter,
22:32
tighter. But again, that's a lot of muscle, you know, for
22:34
one person. I think it was Gail. I think last week after a
22:38
while and it was Gail maybe and Ian. They were both trying to pull
22:41
it in and still wasn't catching. You know, hopefully, you know,
22:45
when they dock again, you know, in a week or two episode,
22:48
you know, hopefully, look, get that fixed. Okay, So now
22:52
let's talk about the big thing, which is that the Nathan and a guest
22:56
who went paddleboarding and they were almost to be seen again. Crazy. I
23:04
didn't know that, you know, I don't know, maybe it was Greece
23:07
or just the met in general had swells like that, because we never had
23:11
that issue in Italy and France. But I mean when I was a kid,
23:18
I got caught in a rip was it called like a rip current?
23:21
You know back in the day. You know, you're just swimming, you
23:23
know, just usually, and then like you just turn around and you realize
23:26
you're not even close to the beach. So something like that just happened with
23:32
the paddle boards and they're probably just you know, looking out at the waters
23:36
and enjoying themselves and then not realizing that the current is just kind of kept
23:40
pushing them out. They turn around. The boat is I think what they
23:42
said, like three hundred meters three hundred yards, but you know behind them,
23:47
and you know it's it's not one of those things where you can just
23:48
swim back because the current, you know, you're not strong enough to fight
23:52
that current. So and then they got picked up by it was like a
23:55
catamaran. I think they had to bring them back, which is crazy.
24:00
At least, you know, you know, at least it's they were safe,
24:02
and you know, I think that's the most important. They didn't even
24:04
see them. Did they even see them on the binoculars, like when they
24:07
were looking, I don't even think they did. They didn't even like even
24:11
if I was, if I was Joe, I'll put them putting a little
24:15
blame on Joe, Like he was on the swim platform. He's doing things,
24:18
you know, yeah, putting or whatever he was doing. But like
24:21
once in a while, wouldn't you be like, wow, they're getting pretty
24:25
far anymore. Maybe I should I don't know, maybe, you know.
24:30
Yeah, so I'll put a little blame on Joe because Ian was doing stuff.
24:33
I think he was putting the slide or the fenders away or something.
24:37
So but yeah, I mean Joe's got to keep a little bit of a
24:41
of a watch. But yeah, I mean that's kind of a scary.
24:45
You know, they played it off really well on the show, but that's
24:47
like a really scary situation. I've been caught in that and it's not it's
24:49
really scary. I mean that was really terrifying. And I couldn't believe that
24:53
the primary handled it so well and the guest handled it so well, because
24:57
the primary was like, well, that could have gone poorly, but it
25:00
didn't. So Okay, we're moving on and Sandy even seemed to handle it
25:03
well yeah, I mean, you know, I guess she was like,
25:07
all right, well the zill learning experience. Now we'll we'll know next time,
25:11
you know. I was thinking back of my head, good thing they
25:15
were actually on palable. What if they were just swimming, you know,
25:18
and if they were just swimming in the water, yeah, there, it
25:21
would be even hurt harder to see them or you can't keep that, you
25:25
know, you can't keep swimming, you know, against the current. And
25:26
at last they're on paddle board, so they could at least you know,
25:30
sit, yeah, you know, and for someone to get to pick them
25:33
up. But it worked out at the ends, uh, you know,
25:36
no harm, no foul. But yeah, it was kind of a cringe
25:37
look to see another boat bring to it there, you know, personnel back
25:44
really bad. That was so scary, Like I don't know, I just
25:48
was like putting myself in that situation and I'm like, oh my god,
25:51
boss, I'm freaking out. You know. Is it the rule that you've
25:56
always known that two people need to be watching the guests in the water.
26:03
Yeah, I don't remember if it was. We had when so when Juwau
26:07
was my boastin uh, and it was mostly the jet skis. We always
26:11
had to have one person keeping on the jet skis, more than one person
26:15
on the bow as well, because you know they drive, you know,
26:17
they drive around the boat, so you can we're not gonna run around.
26:19
So we usually had like one person on the swim platform, one person maybe
26:23
midship, you know, maybe on the bow just to see you know,
26:26
like where you know what side of the boat. They're all make sure they're
26:30
they're safe. But yeah, I mean, we never had anyone get taken
26:33
out. I was gonna say, what have you ever had anything like that
26:38
happen when you've been on charter where people have gone way far out or well,
26:45
yeah, way far out? I think my which season it was my
26:48
first or second? Uh. Sandy reprimanded the guests because they went they were
26:55
flying their jet skis through like a like a scuba zone or something, right
27:00
you people like underwater and we're like, she said, don't go in this
27:06
area, and like right when they get just they don't listen. They go
27:08
straight to that area. So yes, Cida had to speak to them because
27:11
even give them clear instruction and they just weren't paying attention. It's dangerous.
27:15
You know, imagine Scoopa diving or whatever. You're coming up for air and
27:18
jess Ski is flying over you. You know it's not that's not so.
27:22

31:45
let's get back to talking about below Deck with Colin macotool. Have you ever,
31:52
like, not just on below deck or any of your experience, what's
31:56
the scariest experience you've ever had with your yourself or with a guest on the
32:05
on the high seas. Honestly, we've had, I mean juel situation where
32:12
we had that drunk billionaire on our boat with Johnny Damon. Uh. That
32:16
was season four. We're in Saint tapez Uh. He was touching uh missus
32:22
Damon. You know, I don't know what the situation there is, you
32:25
know in the yacht life. So I called Joel. He's in his pajamas
32:30
and he could he touches you know, Missus Damon again and he Joe puts
32:37
him in a bear hug and like chucks him off the boat. You know,
32:40
I didn't know what the protocol is for that, you know, because
32:45
you have this drunk guy who probably thinks he's the ship. Yeah, bred
32:52
women or even you know, any of the guests. Really, you know,
32:53
he shouldn't be doing that. So it's like, you know, I'm
32:57
like a nice guy. I'm like, I'm not, you know, and
33:00
Joe's I'm off the boat. He throws them off the boat. I'm following
33:04
Joel with like the dude, Sperry's like in my hands. I'm like,
33:07
I got you, I got your berries that boat. I totally forgot about
33:12
that. That was crazy, but you did the right thing because that situation
33:15
was escalating quickly and you needed back up for that dude. Yeah, you
33:21
know, I Joao is way bigger than I am. He's got the muscle,
33:24
so you know, I let him handle it and he did a great
33:28
job. Wow, that's so crazy. Oh my god, I remember that.
33:31
Nuts so all right. So they did the water they did the water
33:37
sports, they did that. They almost got lost at sea. We talked
33:40
about that. Oh my god, Asha is so fun. So how long
33:45
have you known Asia? Like when did you guys connect? At Bravo con
33:50
or so I met her? So she was my stue. Season four okay,
33:59
that was her first season. Oh you guys were together season four?
34:05
Yeah, totally, okay. My second season was her first season. And
34:10
then when she was she came in like halfway. I think she replaced Hannah
34:16
the following season and then shed down under twice. She's you know med now
34:23
Gally talk you know, last season. So yeah, I've known her.
34:28
I've known her for you know, like I said, twenty eighteen, so
34:31
a long time. She's so awesome. I always I call her water Wolf,
34:36
you know, because it's like, oh, so she's my little water
34:40
wolf. I'm obsessed with her so good. So and then you met Ellie
34:46
or aka Elena through how did you meet her? Just like through Asia?
34:52
So I reached out to her to see if she wanted to do. She
34:57
popped up on like my Instagram or something, and I reached out to her
35:00
because she was like a spa, like a spa stew, like some special
35:04
stew where she used to be like a masseuse or something like on her yachts.
35:08
So I thought I was like very unique. So I so I just
35:10
I took her information gave it to you know, the higher ops to see
35:15
if she would be good for the show and uh, yeah, nor Way,
35:19
are you serious, You're the one who referred her. She it seemed
35:22
to work out, so I'm glad it did, and hopefully everyone likes her.
35:27
Oh gosh, that is so cool. So she reached out to me
35:30
the other day if I want to do uh at least come to the clubhouse
35:35
because that was her first time doing Watch Happens Live, Like thank you,
35:37
and you know, I got to finally meet her and she's a sweetheart and
35:40
yeah, she she had a blast. I'm hopefully you guys will see her
35:44
again. Wow, that is so awesome. I'm so glad you told me
35:46
that. I mean, because we wonder about casting. So do you refer
35:51
people or you know, pass on names quite often? Yeah, yeah,
35:55
I would say often. But i've you know, they've we've had a couple,
35:59
you know, even some of my fairy friends. They've turned it start
36:02
into the yachting world. I thought there would be great, you know,
36:07
a couple, uh, you know, my other friends and Fort Lloyd'll let
36:10
I meet when I'm hanging out, like Bobby or something. Uh, you
36:14
know, it doesn't always work out, you know, but you know,
36:16
I feel like they're always looking for people, so I'm like, you know,
36:19
I think this person would be good. You know, they're either a
36:22
train wreck, which makes them great, you know, but yeah, once
36:25
in a while they hit, you know, just like Ellie did. So
36:29
hopefully she enjoys it. And uh, yeah, it was the first time
36:30
I met her and she's she's adult. That's amazing. Are there any other
36:35
people, because like she she came on and she relieved somebody if she took
36:39
someone's spot when they were let go last season, and then they've brought her
36:44
back and she's great. I think she's doing such an amazing job. And
36:47
then I want to ask you about the whole waking chef up things, so
36:52
don't let me forget about that. But are there any other people that you
36:55
referred that did make it onto Below Deck? I don't think so I referred.
37:05
I'm not, like I said, maybe a handful, not that many.
37:08
I think l was my first. So it was kind of like a
37:13
proud yeah that's awesome. Yeahfully, hopefully everyone loves her. Hopefully she enjoys
37:17
the rest of the season. Yeah, it was kind of so it was
37:21
very nice for her to invite me out the other night and as a thank
37:23
you, so it was. It was very cool moment. So when when
37:29
when Chef Johno did not prepare the midnight bites and she went to go wake
37:37
him up, So tell me what your whole thought process was on this,
37:42
because this seemed very torturous for her. And then I was literally shocked the
37:46
next day when Sandy was like, never wake up the chef and I was
37:50
like, oh, oh, oh, okay, so please break this down
37:53
for me. Yeah, you know what in that situation. In that situation
37:58
seemed like everyone was wrong. I can make grilled cheese. I can make
38:05
seven grilled cheeses, Like I don't know, that doesn't seem like an issue.
38:08
I didn't catch that. On the preference sheet it said late night snacks.
38:15
So you know, it was a mix of you know, everyone was
38:20
in the wrong. You know, obviously the chef. I always tell people
38:22
outside of the captain, I think the chef is the most important person on
38:27
the boat because that's the chef. No one's eating and if you're not eating,
38:30
you're cranky and you're gonna have a terrible time. So the chef is
38:35
the most so like you want him to. He's on his feet how many
38:37
hours a day? They won't ever get like those two hour breaks that you
38:42
see during the show, you know, like go go down for two hours
38:44
like the stews and debck crew, do you know, so you want the
38:49
chef to rest. He's one of the most important people on the boat.
38:52
But a sad time he should have made or at least left out the ingredients
38:55
for something, like he said, I know it's the grilled cheese, but
38:59
even it's like the sam which she's nacho things. I'd nachos were on the
39:04
list. I think it just it probably just went through his head and just
39:07
didn't you know, he just totally forgot about and I you know, I
39:10
get it. He works what fourteen fifteen hours a day probably, so you
39:16
know, there's a lot for him to think of to remember throughout the course
39:22
of the day. But like like I said, Sandy, I think did
39:25
it like approach is like you know, we learn and then hopefully next to
39:29
order everything will go a little bit better. God. I love that they
39:34
did talk about that on Watch Happens Live because Asia finally saw what happened,
39:37
and it was nice that Ellie was able to get a little empathy and compassion
39:44
from someone after going through because it was so intense, and I did feel
39:47
for her. I mean, I thought she did the best she could do
39:50
in that situation because she did seem to have her hands full. But it
39:54
was a learning experience for her as well. And she seems so like,
40:00
do you think that she could be a chief stew one day? I mean,
40:01
because she she has been a chief stew right on a small boat Ellie.
40:09
Uh, you know what. I don't remember if she was beforehands but
40:19
is different. Yeah, it's different so far. I mean rand rolling two
40:28
charters in. You know, I'd love to see how, you know,
40:30
the rest of the year goes. But I'm not so far, so good.
40:34
Like she's you know, Ashia's given her direction. She's killing it.
40:37
You know. You know, she's not one of those stews that's like,
40:40
oh well, I know I know everything, you know. I mean,
40:45
like you don't have to tell her, right, Those are the people that
40:46
will never make it. So you look, Yeah, she's listening to instructions,
40:52
she's doing everything. Well, she's actually doing double the work because she's
40:55
teaching what's the third stewbris laundrey and how to make beds and stuff, So
41:00
she's doing extra work on top of her everyday duties on top of that,
41:04
So more credit to her for doing that. The Yeah, we'll talk about
41:08
Brett. Also, the chicken dinner and sponge cake was a disaster that may
41:15
have been one of the worst things we've seen served. Yeah, that was
41:22
the chicken. I didn't really they seemed to be like okay with it,
41:27
Like it wasn't like it wasn't like bad, but it wasn't like like superior.
41:31
I mean, if you're spending so much money on a mega yacht,
41:36
yeah, like and they're like, oh, that's good, Like that's not
41:39
really not a good thing, Like you want to be like, goddamn,
41:43
this is fantastic. So yeah, so I get I get it, you
41:46
know, I get totally the reaction the cake is, uh, yeah,
41:52
that's weird. And I to show I didn't realize chefs don't really do desserts.
41:58
That's not there because they spent so much money on the meals that they're
42:04
rare. They you know, they really don't spend time unless it's like something
42:07
simple ish, uh to do dessert. So the sponge cake, the black
42:10
sponge cake with what was like a red sorbet or something on the side.
42:15
Yeah, yeah, I don't think any anybody ate it? Like I saw
42:19
like and Ellie bring all the plates back to the galley. I was like,
42:22
that's bad luck, that's not I don't want food to still be on
42:25
the plate. That's not good. And it's just like it's the worst couple
42:30
the cakes out of all the cakes, all the cakes. I am predicting
42:37
that they are. He's going to get fired and they're going to bring on
42:42
another chef. What do you think? I don't know, because his first
42:46
he killed the first charter, you know, he did really well. The
42:52
second so far is not you know, you know, and you don't how
42:59
say he is with the food and the chefs. You know, she wants
43:00
to make sure everything is is you know on and she give three chances,
43:06
three strikes, three strikes unless it's what she sell the provisions, unless it's
43:09
really big outvision. Thing was a disaster. That was crazy. You've ever
43:16
seen anything like that? No, that's wild. I mean, how do
43:19
you go like basically in a charter, entire charter, with like nothing on
43:22
the boat. I don't know how they pulled that off, but they did.
43:27
By the way, again, glad, I watched Watch What Happens Live
43:30
because one of the questions that we had about that was why didn't they go
43:34
in Inland and go to a store and buy something. So Asha did talk
43:38
about that. She addressed it and said that they actually did. They sent
43:43
someone they got six bottles, but they don't you know, when they deal
43:49
with a bigger provisions company, they're expecting it to come, so they're not
43:52
going to want to suspend all this additional money on buying all this other stuff.
43:57
So they still were expecting it to come. So they only a little
44:00
bit uh to make up for that gap in which they expected it to come
44:05
later and then it never did. So they did in fact do that,
44:08
but that wasn't necessarily mentioned on the show. Yeah, on the show.
44:14
Yeah, like I always, you know, I compared it like, you
44:16
know, imagine like you and your friends like spend hundreds of dollars on like
44:21
a sushi night on like ubers and it's like super delayed, and you're like,
44:25
you know, let's go to this other place down the street and get
44:28
the same thing, and now you have like five hundred dollars and then the
44:30
uber Eats comes and now you're right the dollars with a sushi You're like,
44:34
oh, what I spend all this money, right, so exactly, But
44:37
yeah, I mean it's that that's a tricky situation because they spend so much
44:39
money on you know, the food and booze for the provisions to come on
44:45
time. Do you have like numbers? I'm curious. Do you have any
44:47
idea how much they would spend on provisions for an entire charter? You know
44:52
what? I don't. I mean, you know, I think on some
44:54
of the charts, like don how much does like a bottle of Don Julio
44:58
like go for? Yeah? Cases of that, so like right there,
45:02
grand so I would think, right, so just for liquor. Yeah,
45:06
and the chef's ordering lobsters steaks that costs you know, even like the little
45:12
things you don't even see, like in the background there's like bowls of like
45:15
Eminem's. Uh. On the last this last episode, they had like a
45:20
like a nice cheese board, like those cheeses and meats. You know,
45:22
I'm sure they're not cheap. So yeah, I mean, all those things
45:27
add up. It's crazy. So thank god they got a new provision company
45:32
and everyone's happy and thrilled and so that's great. Brie, have you met
45:37
Brie? Do you know Brie, No, never met Brie. Off to
45:42
a little slow start. Also, I don't know, I don't I can't
45:46
like rag on like the girls that do like the laundry because like I have
45:50
like a whatever, like the basic target ironing board system is and I'm like
45:54
doing like a T shirt and I'm like, hell, I don't care.
46:00
So I you know, I can't really rag on you know, the people
46:02
that do the launch because it's you know, it's a different level. But
46:07
I feel bad, you know because you know, especially with Ellie, because
46:09
she's teaching her how to do things properly and at a time. With that
46:13
again, it's like talking about the slide earlier, like she wants things done,
46:17
you know, at a tempo. You know, you can't just just
46:21
hang out and like you know, leisurely iron someone's pants, right, you
46:25
know, you got to get it done. So but I mean it seems
46:30
like the second charge is going way better. So also she learns on the
46:34
way and keeps it going. When Okay, So, is there anything that
46:40
you like miss about doing these charters other? I mean it's got to be
46:45
I'm talking about being on below deck. What is Okay, let me just
46:50
break this down what is the stress level? Like, because you've got the
46:53
cameras, you've got to do your job, you're interacting with the guests,
46:59
you've got the captain, you're dealing with kind of sleep deprivation. You're pretty
47:04
exhausted when and you're dealing with their their lives are in your hands. So
47:09
break it down for me, like how stressed out you are, the level
47:16
of like adrenaline that you're running on, and how you like get through all
47:22
that and with the cameras because it seems insane to me. Yeah, you
47:27
know what, after maybe the first I don't even to say the first full
47:30
charter, it's probably not even the first day. The cameras are they disappear
47:37
in your brain right because you're so focused on whatever the Bosin's telling me,
47:43
whatever the chiefs do or even Sandy is telling us to do. I'm not
47:46
worried about, oh well there's a camera in my face. Well, I
47:50
mean this is this is from my perspective. I don't know other people,
47:52
but I do. Even I totally forgot that the cameras woure follow me around.
47:58
You know, you can't think of all these things at once, right,
48:00
I'm pulling the slide in. I don't care if the camera is up
48:05
in my face or not looking at me at all. I'm I'm trying to
48:08
bring this thousand pounds piece of rubber onto the boat. You know, it
48:14
is stressful though, because you know, like when we were rushing, like
48:16
I hurt my vibe fell and hurt my wrist on my second season because we
48:21
were rushing and I got my tongue stuck in a hatch, and you know,
48:24
to have embarrassing because the cameraman is like zoomed in on my face and
48:29
I'm my god, damn, you know like that. But yeah, but
48:35
it's like I said, from my perspective, they go away, you know,
48:39
except when you're trying to go in tight spots because they're always that the
48:44
cameras are so big, and I have to like duck, you know,
48:46
if they're filming something, I feel like duck behind them because if they turn
48:50
around, you're getting smacked in the face with one of those big ass cameras.
48:53
So besides that, though they they are not you know, they're imaginary
48:58
to me, gotcha, Okay, And so that wasn't really necessarily a big
49:02
stresser having the cameras there. Now was just more stress, just to make
49:07
sure that everything gets done, you know, make sure the guests are happy,
49:12
Sandy's you know, okay with our work. That's that's the stress.
49:15
Not the cameras well. I mean, you had cameras in your bedroom,
49:19
like that's like watching you sleep. And in last night's episode, we had
49:27
Ian I think in the wheelhouse just just digging in that nose, just really
49:32
digging for gold. And I was like, oh my god, how embarrassing
49:36
like that they would put that footage out of him picking his nose and oh
49:39
yeah, you know, and I'm like, I mean, look, we've
49:42
all been there, but you don't want like he obviously forgot that there's cameras
49:47
because those cameras are mounted correct, like there's nobody sitting there, so he's
49:52
gonna forget. So he's just like, it's the middle of the night,
49:53
I'm on anchor Watch. I've got to you know, get my seat boogies
49:59
out, and now here we have that like on on TV for the world
50:04
to see. It's like I think I think I thought it was funny about
50:08
that was because it wasn't even like it was like three am Anchor Watch.
50:13
It was like during dinner service. It was like it was like light out.
50:19
Oh my god, you know dry over there, it's dry. It's
50:24
dry. You gotta do what you gotta do. But it is like when
50:29
that happens, I'm always like, guys, I mean, we don't need
50:30
to see that, Like let's give him his space, like give him his
50:35
privacy, Like we don't need to see that. But they get so shady.
50:38
But like you have cameras in your bedroom, like what if you have
50:44
to like rip a two you know, like what are you going to do?
50:47
Yeah, that doesn't bother me. I mean the rooms, the rooms
50:52
don't bother me because we're never in our rooms. We're changing, you know,
50:58
it takes us what five seconds to you know, rip off our clothes
51:00
and put on like whatever our blacks or whatever we're changing into. Again,
51:06
it's you don't even think that it's there, right, You're just getting changed
51:09
and or you know, a lot of maybe some of the most of the
51:13
girls would do go to the bathroom. There's no cameras in the bathroom looking
51:15
a little more privacy. But yeah, I mean, like I said,
51:19
when you're just in the moment and you're you know, you gotta make things
51:22
happen. You're not gonna be like, oh, like the camera is looking
51:24
at it, right. You can't do that, you know. And then
51:27
when people are hooking up that I would never do. And I told myself
51:34
that before I even did my first season. I was like, first of
51:36
all, no one wants to see my pasty white ass on TV, but
51:39
you will never see that ever again. But there are some people that you
51:45
just don't care and they just get after it, and I'm like, I
51:47
guess more power to you. I just I just can't. It's amazing.
51:52
I know, I'm like, wow, I don't think I could. I
51:52
don't. I could not do that. I I would definitely be the person
51:57
that's like, yeah, let's go meet in the locker, like, by
52:00
the way that what have you ever been down in that locker with anybody?
52:05
They so there was similar to where they must mustique is. I was called
52:08
the first Botelsman made and had a locker similar to theirs, where it was
52:14
on the bow and it was you know, it was private ish, but
52:19
it was just funny. How gel got caught on the way up. That
52:22
was amazing, like being so sneaky and this isn't gonna happen. Well,
52:28
it was wild because, like she says, she's in this relationship, but
52:30
she seems pretty flexible about it. It seems like there's a lot of gray
52:35
areas here. And then it was I was like, oh wow, they're
52:39
going to go for it, Like she's gonna go for it. They're going
52:42
to go meet and I love that we had bat cliffhanger from last week.
52:46
So then this week they see her like kind of picking up where she's getting
52:50
kind of busted by the camera. Oh, I'm just gonna get some waters
52:52
and then she has like second thoughts and you know, if those cameras weren't
52:57
there, she definitely would have gone. But I'm wondering how the rest of
53:00
the season is going to pan out. I mean, I'm sure at some
53:02
point something will happen between she and Nathan. Yeah, I mean the first
53:07
thing they brought up was like the strawberry, you know, like yeah,
53:10
and I'm like, Strawberry, like just be honest, like Storbery means sex,
53:14
like just talk as much. You know, we all know. So
53:17
yeah, that was that was a funny segway. But i mean, yeah,
53:21
they again, this is like their second charter. They are going to
53:24
learn that you do not get privacy on that boat at all. Next all
53:30
they want, you know, and I think you really thank Eddie Lucas I
53:35
think for that because I think he's I think he smashed somebody in like the
53:38
laundry before they had cameras in the laundry room years ago. I don't know
53:45
if that was with Rocky or Wet, but and yeah, so then they
53:50
everywhere because of that. So yeah, good will to find privacy because that's
53:53
not gonna happen. Well, when the producer was like do you need a
53:58
mic? Right? Do you need a mic? I'm not gonna be talking.
54:01
I'm just ending. I'm not talking. I'm not talking. You don't
54:04
even see me. You don't even see me. I'm here, I'm not
54:06
here. Do you need to mic? I mean that was like holy shit,
54:07
you know, it was like, uh, you know, your some
54:12
sort of chaperone. That's what it felt like to me. I was like,
54:15
I felt like I got busted, you know, like my parents woke
54:17
up and I tried to sneak out of the house. I mean, that's
54:20
exactly what it felt like. So the other thing I wanted to ask you
54:23
was, you know, everybody and I know we have talked about this before,
54:27
but just to reiterate. With production, you know, they're in their
54:32
room right, like the I'm talking about the producers, so they're pretty much
54:37
away, right. How much do you see the producers come out alongside the
54:44
cameraman? Is there always a producer next to the cameraman? Man? Is
54:47
it just the cameraman? Like what's what's the production aspect? Like what's their
54:52
interaction with you guys? So I don't even think it wasn't even the producer
54:57
on the when you saw it's every Every camera guy has an audio guys probably
55:04
who was talking you don't see. That's all you see is the audio and
55:07
camera guys. That's all you see. No one is out, you know,
55:13
telling us anything. You know, if no one's telling us to go
55:17
here or talk about that. It's you know, I tell this all the
55:21
time, like it's a it's probably the most natural show you'll ever watch.
55:25
I said. Obviously the camera and mic guys like they have a job,
55:30
so you know, like I need to mic you up if you're going out
55:32
or if you're talking to somebody, I need you to have a microphone on.
55:36
Like that's just that's what that's that's that's their job. So but that's
55:40
that's that's all you're getting. That's all you're getting is Mike stuff making sure
55:44
everything works, you know for the most part. But no one, that's
55:47
all you're getting. You don't see anybody else. So okay, A lot
55:52
of people have a hard time believing this. And when I had Nadine Rajabi,
55:55
who's one of the producers of Below Deck Men and was she a produce
56:00
when you were on? Yeah, love Nadine. She's awesome, incredible,
56:02
what an incredible lady. And she does say, we stay in that room.
56:08
We we do not come out. We do not you know, tell
56:12
unless there's a problem, right, unless there's a problem like on board or
56:15
yeah, but no, I'm like, yeah, she was, like I
56:19
said, they this is the most natural and I'm actually saying this, like
56:21
it's the most natural show anyone will watch, you know, like we're doing
56:25
a job, we have a goal at the end of the season, finish
56:28
it out. Everyone hopefully is safe, making money, and uh, you
56:31
know, it's just it's you know, it's funny because like the drama and
56:35
like the storylines, they they just come with working on a ya they like,
56:40
it's just included when in that work environment, you know, so no
56:44
one's like faking doing this. It's it's none of that. It's just it
56:49
just comes with the territory. So a producer isn't going to talk to a
56:53
crew member when they're not filming and say, hey, you know, maybe
56:59
you could go and the galley and talk to the chef about, you know,
57:02
how he needs more drizzle and garnish on his dishes. No, I
57:07
mean that's all, you know, it's mostly like you know, the chief
57:10
stus like Asia, you know, Hannah, Kate, they were all really
57:14
good with interacting with the chefs, you know, and that's I think that's
57:17
mostly why that's a lot of drama comes from the chiefs and the chef's button
57:22
heads. I remember Adam the first time, you know, they were you
57:27
know, they were they yeah, trying to think what was the down under
57:31
with Asha and that chef he he was a disaster? Oh no, Dave
57:37
was David? Yeah. Well yeah, I mean that's that's really where a
57:42
lot of drama comes from, because they're trying to, you know, do
57:45
you need anything, and they're like the hell out of you know, because
57:47
that's so but no, I mean, it's all just part of the jobs.
57:53
I don't sadly, I don't know if that's the right word, but
57:55
it just that is they just are not in your ear. They're not in
58:00
in your ear saying go talk to this person, have a you know,
58:02
they just do not They do not interact. They stay in their room,
58:06
watching the monitors. Yeah, and they're probably just like this is crazy that
58:10
it's probably I don't know if it's easy for them because we're just doing our
58:15
jobs and all this just naturally plays out, you know, so they're probably
58:21
like, oh, this is great. You know, we have to we
58:22
have to do anything. Yeah. So yeah, so they you know,
58:24
obviously they keep tabs on us with the cameras and everything. But yeah,
58:29
no, it's as real as he gets. That's so cool. I mean
58:32
I think that, you know, because we're coming from a real Housewives place,
58:37
you know, where the producers are probably definitely more involved there. It's
58:43
just such a completely different show and it's hard for people to believe that it
58:49
truly is. You know, the train is set on the tracks and you
58:52
guys just go. Then they go and they piece together whatever they can piece
58:58
together. And also so it's such a truncated situation, like it's six weeks,
59:02
right, I mean how long is the charter season about that? Uh
59:07
yeah season? Yeah, I think it depends on like, yeah, I
59:09
think it's about maybe a couple of months. I think it's longer a couple
59:14
months, Okay, Yeah, but yeah, I mean six weeks. They
59:16
try and pack in I think around nine charters in that six weeks, so
59:21
it's only two three days, you know, I forget what it is,
59:24
but yeah, I mean they try and get as many guests in, and
59:28
you know, you see all the crazy guests that we get, so they
59:30
try and get a lot of those guys in. And yeah, I mean
59:34
it's just you see everything you see on the TV is what is what you're
59:37
getting? What? How do they get the charter guests? I mean that's
59:42
always something that's such an actual thing. Yeah. I don't know. I
59:45
don't know if they must I don't know if they reach out to Sandy or
59:49
the boat, you know, whoever with the boat, you know, and
59:53
then they go you know, they deal with like the moneies and and all
59:57
that stuff. I don't know how that works, but yeah, I guess
59:59
just they're going for you know, a trip or even if people are going
1:00:01
to Greece for like a week with their families, like, you know,
1:00:06
what was take three days out of our trip to rent this yacht out?
1:00:09
Well, you know we're in Greece anyway, you know, so no one's
1:00:14
really going to Greece for three days and then right right, I think they
1:00:17
try and make like a nice you know, a nice trip out of it.
1:00:21
But yeah, it's cool. It's cool to see meet some of these
1:00:23
people. Uh they said tennis, Wimbledon winners, Grand Slam winners. Uh,
1:00:29
you know John Damon, play with the Yankees and Red Sox. We
1:00:31
had some cool people. So it's very cool to see some of these guests.
1:00:35
Have you ever kept in touch with any of the charter guests? Any
1:00:37
of them like one or two? You know what was you know, Merry
1:00:42
Christmas, heavy Birthday? Yeah, but no, everyone's super nice. You
1:00:46
know, you get to hang out with them, have a couple of drinks
1:00:49
with them, and uh yeah, everyone's everyone's doing well, and you know
1:00:52
they will have families and stuff. So I asked them like how the kids
1:00:54
are doing stuff like that, So it's a very nice relationship. Are you
1:00:59
doing music? Are you doing any raps Like I loved when you You're so
1:01:04
funny and talented, and we always it was such a fun thing. And
1:01:07
like any season and any below deck, you know, when someone tries to
1:01:10
like do a song or a rap, I'm like, oh my god,
1:01:14
he or no Colin, Okay, I belong, But so do you ever
1:01:19
do anything with that anymore? I played, I played piano almost every day.
1:01:23
I'll do like jam on whatever, the rap the rap thing. First
1:01:27
of all, I was, I tell you whole time. I did one
1:01:30
of those like rap recaps my first episode because of the rap thing I did
1:01:36
on the show, and I just assumed I was gonna get murdered online,
1:01:39
like you know, this guy sucks? Was he doing? And I would
1:01:43
have been like I wouldn't find it. I'll be like, okay, cool,
1:01:45
that's what happens when you put stuff out right. It was like the
1:01:47
opposite. People are like, oh, I can't wait to next week.
1:01:51
Yeah, You're like, oh my god, that took me like eighty thousand
1:01:53
hours. Now I have to do one for every episode where the two I
1:01:58
did like thirty forty on my thing. You know, every episode I did,
1:02:02
I had like sixteen to eighty episodes a season, and then I did
1:02:06
a couple of recaps and uh you know, uh, you know from other
1:02:08
seasons and stuff. Just he became a thing and I was like, all
1:02:13
right, I guess I gotta do this now. It's fun. Everyone's like
1:02:16
super nice about it and they really enjoy it. So that was great.
1:02:22
Do you have any side gigs? Because I And the reason why I ask
1:02:24
is because last night I watch What Happens Live. Ellie said that she has
1:02:29
an only fans and I was like, oh my, and I mean it's
1:02:35
very She was like, it's sexy, it's sultry, and like, so
1:02:38
are you on her only? I mean I have to assume as a supporter
1:02:42
you've got to be on her fan. No, I don't do I don't
1:02:46
do that. Okay, First of all, no one wants to see no
1:02:49
one wants to see this. No, I mean, are you a subscriber
1:02:54
of her only fans? Oh no, no, no, no, I
1:02:58
don't. I don't do any of that stuff. Yeah, no, I
1:03:00
just run just fire island life. That's that's in the summer, and uh,
1:03:07
you know, playing piano once in a while and and that that's that's
1:03:09
that. Nothing. Nothing crazy like that, do you so? So you
1:03:14
don't have any only fans accounts? All right? And then what's your do
1:03:19
you have a you? Are you seeing anybody? Like what's going on in
1:03:22
your love life? You know, like once in a while, like what
1:03:25
sucks in the summer, because that this is our peak season right now on
1:03:30
Fire Island, right anyone's going over to the beach, So I'm there every
1:03:32
day. I'm shot. Uh you know if someone you know, if I
1:03:37
bump into someone, you know that piece ma interest, you know, I'll
1:03:40
hang out with them. See you see how it goes last summer, I
1:03:43
wasting somebody, you know maybe you know, like I said, you just
1:03:49
never know. I'm not really out seeking somebody. If it happens, it
1:03:52
happens. If not, it's fine. Just like ships in the night.
1:03:55
You're just going with the breeze. You know, you're going with the knots.
1:04:02
Gosh, it's so fun to see you. Oh my god, wait
1:04:04
before we before we wrap up, I just have to say, I've never
1:04:11
seen anyone make eggs and let them sit for an hour and a half before
1:04:15
serving them for breakfast. And he still shook to my core. I don't
1:04:21
know who's who's fault that. I don't know how that works because they they
1:04:28
said eight thirty. They obviously got off at one nine thirty. I think,
1:04:31
right, okay, but he's making all these fancy eggs, so like
1:04:36
if you wait for them to wake up, now, you're gonna be late
1:04:42
serving the eggs, you know what I mean. Yeah, Like, so
1:04:46
he was prepping for a thirty, which he was correct, except no one
1:04:50
was awake, right, You can't really blame that on the chart. Guess
1:04:54
it's their vacation. So I don't really know how that works. Yeah,
1:04:57
how long does it take ranch what they call choss? I don't know how
1:05:03
long that's wavos run cheros? Yeah, I mean if it was like a
1:05:11
scrambled egg, you know, or an omelet, like, I'm sure he
1:05:13
can bang that out two minutes, you know, when they get up.
1:05:15
But something fancy like that, you know, I don't know. You know,
1:05:19
I kind of felt bad from him because they said a thirty and it
1:05:23
was nine thirty, So I don't know. I don't know how at least
1:05:27
you're very nice, very diplomatic. I thought, look, redo, redo
1:05:31
the eggs. I think he could have like redone the eggs on top because
1:05:36
it had been sitting there for so long, and quite frankly, I was
1:05:40
like a little bit worried because they're kind of like over easy, you know,
1:05:42
they're so I'm thinking like bacteria, and now I'm thinking, oh my
1:05:45
gosh. But whatever, I love I love it. You could put him
1:05:51
in like doves. Yeah, that's right, put him in the oven.
1:05:55
Yes, that's exact. See, that's what I'm saying. Weird, weird,
1:05:59
but uh okay, So Colin is where can people find you? And
