Hi, I'm Aan Segura. And I'm Eric J. Mack. And this is the Daily Dish, Bravo's official podcast.
Below Deck is back. And of course, we're covering season eight for season eight. We're bringing you recaps even earlier to help you get through the week, so make sure to subscribe so you never miss a minute of discussion. Well, let's get into it.
Okay. How amazing would it be if Captain Lee's wife joined the show as a Chief Stew? That would. Well, yeah.
Yeah. And by the way, would he be hard on her or would he have her back? I don't know. I mean, it would be so interesting to see their dynamic, because I feel like living together and then working together would probably go pretty well for them, because she was a Chief Stew for him back in the day.
I'm gonna share something with you too. That's what my wife just sent me. Aww. That's her.
And I like your favorite Ste. Just so you don't forget. That's so cute. Wait, so she was a Sue?
So did you get her into yachting? So you just, like, here? I need you, like, with me at all times. I want to work and live with you.
It's a friend herself. No, maybe not for, like, a full charter season, but it'd be great, like, in between, if something would ever happen with the cheese, too, that, like, she just comes in and saves the day for a few episodes. That'd be amazing. Also, though, I don't know that I could work hard if I knew that my husband was the captain.
Like, you can't fire me. My husband's the captain, so I'm not gonna give this my. All right. And I would definitely get, like, sassier with the rest of the.
Like, you can't do anything. You can't touch me. Did you clock the toast that James was eating? Oh, my God.
I love sweets. I love Nutella. But that looks disgusting because he's putting the chocolate syrup on it. But by the way, Vin spending the whole episode complaining about how he's getting chunky, and it's like, well, the Nutella toast doesn't help, right?
Like that. It's not a snack for you. So I think that the combo of Nutella plus chocolate, it seems way too extra for me. Like, it's too much.
I love Nutella. Let's not get this. And I love chocolate, but the combo is just, like. That's eccentric.
There's no need for that. If you're gonna do Nutella, like, kind of banana on there. You know, slice a banana up on your toast and just, like, do a little balance there. So you're still getting some kind of nutritional value.
But, yeah, it just seemed. It seemed more like a. Like, I just got home and I'm wasted and there's nothing to eat, so I'm gonna eat it together. But it was like the middle of the day.
Okay, serious question. Who do you think of the two of us has a more refined sense of humor? Okay. I love that you asked this, because I was so curious about exactly what that meant.
And I mean, I'm gonna say that if either of us have a more refined sense of humor, it's probably me, because you definitely have a dirtier sense of humor. But I wouldn't call it, like, it's not like, toilet humor. It's not, like, locker room stuff, you know? Like, you still are, like, dirty minded, but you're still kind of witty and intellectual about it.
But, like, the way princess was talking about Chef Rachel, like, Rachel was just, like, saying things out loud that didn't even make sense and was just, like, talking about, like, how the wine was, like, him in the mouth, and you're like, that's not a sense of humor. That's just, like, crass. Like, that's just. That doesn't take any sort of wits or any level of humor.
That's just being kind of weird. All right, menu. Caviar for the cafes. Blue caviar.
It's Zara Imperial. The Trojan caviar men. Herb crusted rack of lamb. Don't go.
Canis. Canis. Will that in the mouth. Yeah.
Rachel's sense of humor, it's quite R rated. Right. We also have a shabbily in the mouth. That's what we're doing.
I'm a bit more refined in my sense of humor than that anyway. So I am curious to know what Francesca would define as refined. Like, what kind of joke is that, like, about literature? Like, I don't get it.
Yeah, maybe a joke that you're okay saying in front of your grandmother. Right. But then what's that? Like, a dad joke?
Like, dad jokes don't need to be refined, you know? Like, I'm just confused. I know Chef does seem really zany. Like, that's the only word I can think of.
Just real zany. Yeah. I mean, I don't mind it. I think it's a bit of a different energy.
Yeah. Definitely a departure from what we're used to. Yeah. And I feel like Chef Ben, you know, he's eccentric in his own way, but not kooky.
You know, he's eccentric and kind of has an ego, but he's still charming in his own way and, like, he's kind of his own thing. And Rachel's charming, too, but she's definitely more on the kooky side than anybody else. I will also say about Francesca, it does feel like the conversation that she has with Elizabeth and Ash is almost like two charters too late. You know, she's like, oh, we really need to step up our game.
Like, we need to be on top of things. We need to X, Y and Z. And it's like, okay, well, you're already going into your third charter. Like, shouldn't you have sat your team down before the first one?
In between, after this one, you know, like, I don't know, it just feels like too little too late. Comparatively, though, how do you think Eddie is handling the Shane situation? You know, he's tiptoeing around it in a way where I get it. I think he knows that Shane is a sensitive person and he doesn't want to be a total dick, but at a certain point, it's going to affect how the jobs are getting done.
So he's going to have to, you know, put his foot down at a certain point. But he is doing a little bit of tiptoeing at this point. It does feel like this just isn't the right job for Shane. I mean, granted, I don't think there's much of a learning curve, which is not great, because how do you get good at this job except through just doing it?
Yeah. But I don't know, it just feels like he's always two steps behind. Right. And, you know, he does seem to want to learn, and he does apply himself and try, but then he just.
These little things, like leaving the garage door open feels like that's something that should just almost be intuitive, you know, you should just kind of know that, like, leaving that wide open overnight doesn't feel like the right thing to do. I think there's an element of the job that does have to come a bit naturally as opposed to being able to learn it, but at least he's trying. Do you get any sort of sexual tension from James and Izzy? Yes, I think so.
I feel like they are not aware of it yet, but it's there. Do you have a boyfriend at midnight? Are you single? Single.
Are you single? Absolutely. I don't know. Her and James are hitting it off, though, in that room.
Jamar, thank you for that room. And James and Fish around, by the way, that sounds pretty scandalous. Like, I don't think that they would necessarily be each other's types out in the real world, but on a boat, I think that anything is possible. Yeah.
And in the same room, I mean, it wouldn't take much for them to just have a night where they come back a little drunk, which is all James has been trying to do this whole time is go out with everybody, get drunk. So as soon as that happens, that will increase the chances of something happening between the two of them if they're going back to the exact same room. Right. I am just waiting for that.
I'm waiting for, like, the. The part in the rom com where she takes off her glasses and puts her hair down and he's like, oh, you know. Right. I don't know if it'll be that romantic or profound.
I think it's going to be just like a drunken, like, whoops. That worked too. Speaking of drunk, the primary was clearly drunk out of his mind. Oh, my God.
To put on those pants that he was wearing. Those, like, weird with the American flag. Like, they were blue on one side, red and white stripe on the other. I was like, this man is definitely intoxicated if he's putting this outfit together.
Was that his wife that was talking to him at the table? Because I love the way she handled him. She was like, and after this course, you're going to go to bed. I thought these guests were going to be refined, but Tim's pretty wasted.
So embarrassing. It's got to be so embarrassing, though. Like, this is your birthday, your charter. You're the primary.
And, you know, Rachel was disappointed for being like, I didn't even get to cook for him for this dinner. And it's like his thing. It's on his dime, you know, But, I mean, he missed a whole night. But he was just beyond beyond.
I. I kind of wish producers would take it upon themselves to get people at that level in the interview chair. That is true. And she's like, so what did you think of the food tonight?
Right. They don't really do interviews with any of the guests, do they? That would be kind of fun. It would be kind of fun.
Oh, my God. If only, like the primary or, you know, the second primary, whatever. Co primary. The guests that I'm thinking of that would have been perfect for this were the woman and the guy from below deck Med.
And she was, like, obsessed with the chef, remember? And she's been on it twice. God, what was her name? Oh, right.
Dark hair, like, Wore a lot of black, and she just, like, was. So. Yeah, she's always hanging around the kitchen. Yeah.
Like, she would be someone who'd be perfect in the interview chair. Like, we need her. I also did a little bit of research because Chef Rachel was freaking out, and we were both looking forward to her freak out in this episode, which I think we'll get more next week as well, about the difference between the salmon roe that she had and the caviar. Because I was like, how bad would it be if she just was like, I gotta run with the salmon roe and just, like, see what I can do?
So I guess all fish eggs are technically roe, but not all roe is caviar. Like, caviar is a specific kind. It's, like, much fancier, much more, you know, elevated and all of that. But it seems like a situation where Chef Rachel's just gonna have to make it work.
I love that you're looking this stuff up. You know, it's. You care. It's just, like, you know, every day is an opportunity to learn, apparently.
I was just so curious because she was bugging out. So I kind of know, like, why she's freaking out so much. But it's also coming down to the guests requested it. So for it to not be there, not really her up.
And, you know, we saw it on Below Deck made with the chef getting so mad when provisions messed something up, you know, it's like, beyond your control, which makes it even more frustrating because there's nothing you can do about it. I just. Poor Shane walking in the kitchen, like, it'd be okay. And just her being like, I'm gonna rip someone's testicles off.
Like, I'm just going crazy. Hey, Francesca. What was wrapped up like a Zara setra. The Trojan caviar is actually some salmon roe.
Oh, okay. All right. Maybe I accidentally got put in here. I don't have this caviar the guests, like, specifically say they wanted, and I'm, like, losing my.
Can I help you? I'll split someone's throat. I'm not joking right now. I'm not nice right now.
Bullshit takes. He's like. And I will slowly back out. He's like, I like my scrotum, please.
He's like, that's not Zen Rachel. Okay, I will be back with our full episode on Saturday. Bye. And remember, watching Bravo isn't a guilty pleasure.
