00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

Now, your neck looks so strong. Does it? I can tell. Yeah, you have like cartoonishly strong neck. Wait, let me move this. No.

00:00 - 00:00 Ben

This? You know why? Yeah, it looks good. It looks so toned and strong. It's only because this t-shirt is like... I actually sewed this t-shirt and I stretched the neck by accident when I was sewing it. So I think it makes everything look kind of like...

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

Oh, my God. Make me one. I will. You look like Gaston. Or Gastone, as they would say on Southern Charm.

00:00 - 00:00 Ben

Oh, my God. This does look really good now that I see it. Yeah, it looks good.

Chapter 2: What's happening in Below Deck Down Under S03E02?

45:03 - 46:37 Ben

you know and that's it's very like lonesome dove you know fried horse snapping turtle puree soup whores serving food naked oh so and she's like so anthony we have to explain the dishes would you like to come up with me and he's like i don't mind you can go i'll come up at the end

0

46:39 - 46:44 Ronnie

Oh, really? You want to come up at the end and act like the fucking chef? Of course you do. Get your ass with me right now, sir.

0

46:45 - 46:53 Ben

Yeah. And she's like, okay, well, I'll just tell them which ones you made. He goes, no, no, don't. Just do it as is. We're a team in it. And then he basically says, oh, thanks.

0

46:53 - 47:05 Ronnie

You see what he's doing, though, don't you? He's saying, don't do that, we're a team, so I can take credit for everything. Like all those pictures that he showed before, when he's like, here's my five-star service, and then he's showing all these gorgeous, you know, magazine-worthy pictures.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

How many of those were his, and how many of those were his chefs that he just took pictures of, and he may be helpful? Like, you know, fucking cutting a carrot.

00:00 - 00:00 Ben

Exactly. Congratulations, you put some sort of, like, mushroom soil on a plate. so anthony is like which i hate when chefs describe it and hearing the side is this is a pistachio soil no it's that don't say it's soil stop that oil so gross and you know i made like uh i i was cooking the other night and i made a uh pistachios that's horror which was very fun.

00:00 - 00:00 Ben

And when I was mixed, you have to mix it with your hands. Cause there's lemon zest in there and the lemon zest clumps, you have to go in their hands. And I felt like dirt. And as I was doing it, I was like, I bet if this were at a restaurant, some asshole would say, and here's some pistachio soil. Cause it felt like soil, but I wasn't willing to call it soil because I'm an adult.

00:00 - 00:00 Ben

So Anthony basically is like, thanks, but no thanks. I don't want them to think I've cooked that. Just because the theme's basic doesn't mean the food has to be basic. If it was my menu, I would have been out there at the barbecue, making it a more immersive experience. You know, some short ribs, slow cooked, you know, yeah, slow cooked short ribs, perfect for a barbecue.

00:00 - 00:00 Ben

So he goes, you know, we could have even done a hot sauce platter where you make different scotch bonnets, different sauces, different spices, possibilities are endless. Yeah. Shut up, dude.

Chapter 3: What are the hosts' views on small boats in Below Deck?

50:45 - 50:46 Ronnie

That's crazy.

0

50:47 - 51:02 Ben

what were you hoping would happen? Cause I couldn't tell at that moment, there was part of me that didn't want Laura to fuck up again. Cause I was, I, I, I didn't, I didn't want her to be a fuck up, but then there was part of me that also felt like it was obnoxious that like she was disregarding the message that Marina was sending.

0

51:02 - 51:07 Ben

So like, I kind of wanted the guests to show up at, at, and be like, where's the food.

0

51:08 - 51:26 Ronnie

No, Marina was doing that thing where she was like, the guest is always right. And I think that that's something you have to do to a degree, but Laura knows guests are stupid. And if she actually did that, the guests would be mad and they would also be right if they were mad. So she's like, nope, you don't serve guests. I'm glad she stuck to her guns and didn't listen to an underling.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

Cause if she listened to somebody lower in rank and fucked it up, that would be very bad. You know, that would be a very bad foot to set right at the beginning. Yeah. So... Example set, foot to set.

00:00 - 00:00 Ben

I don't know why I said that. So Lara is... Yeah, she's like, where is everyone? And they're like, Matt should be cold right now. So Marina realizes that she messed up. She's like, no, I learned... But Lara is right. They're not here yet. I could do better. I'm like, this is shocking. After Below Deck Sailing, where the stews were like, well, you know what?

00:00 - 00:00 Ben

The only reason why I gave that message is because Daisy didn't inspire me to give a better message. So it's not really my fault. And you know what? I don't even like Daisy's leadership in the first place. But here they're like... I can learn from this. I really made a mistake. My boss is right. I'm like, this is so strange.

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

It is weird. Yeah, I don't need Marina to self-flagellate over it or anything. Yeah, relax. Yeah, it was interesting. So then Serena's like, okay, here's some lobster, here's some steak, but apart from that, everything's vegan, even the cold bread, which is not that easy to do vegan, by the way. And so they're like, thanks. And now Adair and Marina...

00:00 - 00:00 Ben

How do you do it vegan? How do you do it vegan? Because you can't have an egg in there. The egg would be the real issue, huh? Because you could do it with almond milk.
