Which charter did you prefer? Which was better the sailing yacht or O g
oh Ham's down sailing? Wow? Was it? Because Captain Lee was on
the other one. He's pretty annoying. Joining us today from Parts unknown A
beautiful couple, none other than Brian and Rob of episode whatever it was from
below deck Sailing yacht. Thank you, gentlemen so much for joining us our
pleasure. So today is gonna be really easy. We're just gonna ask you
down to the dollar amount, how much the charter cost, and some other
questions. But Pat usually starts things off. Yeah, it's a it's a
very important question. Dylan always mocks me for it, but the audience is
fascinated by it. Now, you guys have done two stints on below deck,
So Brian and that's Rob okay? Can I quickly say yeah? Were
it not for an accidental order of this pink thermis, I would have been
completely fucked today. I didn't know about this, that we were all going
to dress the pink now and how could I not have gotten the memo?
I mean, we're in constant communication. I'm very upset about this. M
God, damn it. Yeah, it's not it does seem deliberate. How'd
you end up on the show, Brian? Pretty easy? You know,
you just charter a yacht and then presto, I say, do you mind
being on camera? I'm like, well, I am fabulous, so why
wouldn't my mind? Yeah, amorous role put me on. Okay, So
so your chart during a and I'm kind of half kidding about getting to the
dollar amount of the charter. But we're very confused about when people book these
these yachts. There has to be financing, you know, a benefit to
you because they have video villages in your bathroom and stuff like that. You'd
uncle you're miked up constantly. The people who work these boats are there for
you know, entertainment, there there for service too, but they're often wholly
incompetent. So is there a big how much did you actually pay? It
was a thirty thousand dollars tip. How much did you guys actually pay for
this charter? You know there is a they like to say there is a
discount given for the charter. I'm trying to do the math to really see
if there is. Because keep in mind, when you charter a yacht,
it's for six nine seven days. That's usually what you do. So when
you charter the parcelal, you go on six nights, seven days during the
high season. You know, the prices are in euros, and so you
charter the yacht and you know anywhere from twitter and twenty five thousand and twenty
and thirty five thousand euros. But that's for all six nights, so keep
in mind we only get to be on for two, so there is a
program for that. And then you know, next week's charter is two,
so there's a Parisian for them. So presstell. Yeah, it's just kind
of about that. We only have two nights to worry with, not all
seven to come up with, so it really is afordable. It's not horrible.
Yeah, it's like ten grand a day per person, right, I
guess roughly, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the two this particular
breed of yacht um makes me sick just because of the cramped quarters and the
healing looks. I mean for the interior, it looks absolutely horrible. I'm
sure it's nice up top, but do you guys charter yachts off? Then?
Is what what yacht voyage? Was? This? What number vacation?
I have been doing this since nineteen eighty nine. I guess now the world
knows my age, so I will holy shift when you were seven years old,
Brian, you look great, you look fantastic. What what hair diety
you use? Because I need to buy some? Jesus well, is that
insulting? It could be completely natural. He basically just said he's in his
sixties and he's got perfectly colored hair. Look gorgeous stuff. Gorgeous stuff old,
but so so what is it about these these vacations? Is the below
deck quality of service a chasm beneath the service that you're usually accustomed to when
you go on these yachts, because it just does not seem like money well
spent. Having watched the show for years and years and years, I would
say it's money well sp I feel they really are, you know crew you'll
run into when chartering yachts. For sure. They definitely, you know,
have a casting and get people on. I'm sure that have been briefly in
the business and then disappear just this quickly. That's true of this service industry.
It's grueling for them. But I think also um Our charter the service
was exceptional. Exceptional. I mean we saw other charters this season where the
service didn't seem as exceptional, but in our personal experience, we were our
hands were never without a drink, We didn't crash into any glassdoors, know
about that. Yeah, they were just there for us, and you know,
uh, Gary and Chase were showing us how to use the water toys
that that doesn't get shown because it's not very exciting, but I mean they
were just amazingly attentive every single person. Yeah. Now, you guys had
the advantage of the crew. The guests prior to you coming on the boat.
You mentioned Tim who slammed his face into the glass door and had to
wait for fifteen minutes for someone to attend to him. Yeah, you guys,
they had been coached up to actually kind of set them back in line.
You guys were placed perfectly in the zone of sea rats being on.
You guys came right after a paying guest headbutt at a door and then waited
for a quarter of an hour bleeding. So really right, good, good
stroke of luck party, guys. Can we get to some listener questions?
Oh go ahead, I'm sorry, guys, No, I was gonna say
strip up, but too you know, in advance you know I provide the
information I require. Okay, first, can we talk about that, because
we loved that you did that. Obviously, you on the page sound like
you're going to be a monster. That was not the case at all.
You just laid out exactly what you wanted, you know, with below deck.
You see these preference sheets and you're like, Okay, this is going
to be a demanding one, but you're paying so much money. We talk
about doing whatever we want on these boats were we to charter them. I
think it's beautiful that you just laid out everything in three pages. This is
what we want. Please do it perfectly, polite, and yeah, you
foiled us. Campbell Alvass. The same question Dan is is why did production
make you and your friends look so particularly demanding? But I guess it is
in simply in the preference sheet. When via the preference sheet, but when
you were actually delightful and lovely, it's did you think we were demanding?
And I don't think that it's fair not to be demanding up front and let
them know what we expect and then being mad when our expectations aren't mad?
Right, So I think the only fair approach toward the crew and to get
what we're paying for is to let them know exactly what we want. Yeah,
because in the past, we've had people come on the boat who have
been rather vague, just saying they love protein, and then they get on
the boat and start screaming about where the scamp he is and they didn't say
anything about scamp. Why did you serve me chicken? I've heard that.
Yeah, guys, I was totally expecting the type of behavior where you're going
to insist upon two separate meals being prepared, one where you drink one entirely
through a straw like that maniac last year, and it's just yeah, you
guys were you guys were awesome. Your fans love you. By the way,
question from Caroline Keegans. Did production tell you to order a ten course
meal or did you do that yourself? Oh no, they didn't tell us.
No, I do that myself. I'm a foodie, so maybe more
of a gastronome even so, I really that's what I do for vacations as
I travel around to go to my favorite restaurants or what I read about is
being favorite. So it's to me how I enjoy an online and relaxes with
a long meal. It's not for everyone if you don't want to sit as
a table for four or five hours. Yeah, it is my way of
enjoying myself. So that's something I ask for. It's not a demand.
What's the what's the most courses you've ever sat through? We had twelve in
rooms? Who help? I would say, is about the limit? I
mean, keep in mind these are small bites, or the average person would
say this isn't enough, but it's over a long period. It's a tasting
well, but you still get stuffed at the end of this. I mean
you plates of food. You're like, don't bring me anything else? Please
go all right? So this is an important question and I need an answer.
You can't defer this, Brian. These are the rules of the podcast
Steven Nolan, Jen mcal Happens Live. You can't play the fat better chef
Chef Rachel or Chef Alicia. You have to pick one. You cannot be
you can't play polite. I mean I absolutely adore Chef Alicia. I adore
her food, and I or her as a person. I loved Rachel.
I can't see anything that an excellent chef. Yeah, oh um, And
you know they're nothing but sweet to us. We don't see the tantrums and
the yelling until we actually watched the shows. Answer that damn question, Brian.
Chef Rachel was like the question very I mean, I love Alicia,
Chef Alicia, they're happy, Okay, thank you? Wow, wow,
I feel like and really, which which of your children you love more?
Yeah? Yeah, that was a King Solomon thing that you just nailed it.
Um. Alicia did such a good job with you, guys, despite
the horrendous placement of the sorbet. It came far too late in the meal.
It was not a palate cleanser at all. It was more like a
moose bush for the dessert. Anyways, go ahead, dessert free dessert.
Yeah, okay, all right, so this is still getting in line with
your two charter experienced Tammy Laster wants to know which charter did you prefer?
Which was better? The sailing yacht or og sailing? Wow? Was it
because Captain Lee was on the other one? He's pretty annoying. We love
Captain Glenn, you know, yeah, we just love Glenn. So yeah,
yeah, you don't like it, old old angry guy walking around the
boat. Do you guys, do you guys have a report would be the
word for it. Captain. Yeah, are you guys, Are you guys
aware that Glenn is a criminal? Do you tell? No? Um,
it's theoretical, but kind of not. You know, when you're intuition is
speaking so loudly that it's almost fact. Uh. He kills women of the
night in various countries that he sails. Were really confident that he's such a
nice guy that he needs to kind of you know, get the tension on.
Yeah, yeah, out by spelling blood. Anyways, what's the next
question? I wish you guys would have warned us about that beforehand. We
would have had made sure Wick didn't wear such a sexy shoes. Sarah Becker
wants to know who's your favorite crew member from from this? I think you
can name it from both boats. Yeah, these are tough questions. These
fans we don't have paid in our pr person pulling us down, asking and
telling us we can't ask production questions joined us for me, and I'm just
buying Brian time to think about it. I think for me we interacted the
most with Daisy because sometimes it was Daisy and Mads and sometimes it was Daisy
and Lucy, but it was almost always Daisy, so I really felt a
bond with her, and I would say secondarily with the other two stews,
just because their attention was so personalized to us. So if I if I
had to pick one person who made the most impact on me, it would
be Daisy because that's who I saw the most. And frankly, I walked
into the experience with stars in my eyes for Daisy. Anyway, got it?
You know? Um question, could you guys sense any tension between Gary,
Daisy and Colin? Was any of that above them? Really keep that
their lives separate from ours. Remember the show's called Below Deck and it's all
below there. I have no reason to go down to their quarters or hang
out there the galley. I did go to the galley. I wanted to
see Alisha and see what she was working with. Yeah, not much.
No, it's so small, but a larger galley than some you know boats
that are even larger than that. You know, this was she had a
good space to work in. Um, let me let jump in and just
talk about um overall production interference. How where are you guys that you're on
a television show? Are there any suggestions being made. Is it kind of
I don't know. Are you annoyed by it at this point? Well,
I mean, we sign up for an advance, so we kind of know
what to expect, so we can't really say we're annoyed by it. But
how can you not know when there's cameras around, right, or you're wearing
a microphone? So I forgot about a microphone several times you did until you
slam it against your chests with your hand and the poor person listening years bud.
But a member of production pointed out to me that I'm something that I
kind of have recorded putting my hand over the microphone because we wore them here.
Yeah, didn't silence the microphone. It just let the camera people know
that I was going to say something juicy. How's it worked? We wake
up in the morning and then immediately a segment producer runs up to you,
snaps and a mic on you. Is that how that works? The minute
we opened the door, because there's a camera outside the room to see us,
Yeah, the creepy cam. Yeah, there there's no camera inside our
cabin. So when we come out of the cabin in the morning, we
waved to the camera that's in the hall. Yeah, and they come up,
right, so we will interact with any of the any of the other
people on the boat until we're miked and then production marks and at all.
I mean they have their own rooms, they're away from us. We're here
for a vacation. Yeah, so it's pretty unobtrusive considering what is being Yeah,
all right, because we're a classy podcast, but this is a trope
on the show Below Deck. Were you guys fans by the way of the
series? Clearly right? Oh, I'm a fan for sure. Brian's a
big fan of the series. Um, I wasn't a fan of the series
until we started talking about going on the series. I've never really seen it.
But as soon as we started doing that, we watched them all.
So you started from season one where the Johnny eyelash got kicked off because he
was doing Booker Sugar on the boat. That was an amazing pilot. Yeah,
we're recapping that now. We've taken a break because Blowdeck decided to ruin
Donnanni's lives. Yeah, released two episodes a week. But we're gonna go
back to season one recapping. All right, So here's the question you must
answer this Rob and I feel very uncomfortable with the Mary kill Chase, Gary
Alex. I think I know who i'd have sex with. Got that,
I've got that under wraps. Okay, yeah, so you know, definitely
fuck Alex. Oh yeah, because come on right, Yeah, Chase is
like one hundred percent levable goofball. So definitely Mary Chase, neither Fu nor
Mary Garrett. You gotta kill Gary. Yeah, you killed them. He
drinks too much, he smokes too much. He wants lay next to that
every night. You have to kill him. He's a drunk. I think
I would assume Brian yours is this same. I think that's the correct answer.
Mine's a little different. I definitely say, um, probably go for
f Chase. Yeah, and probably you know, kill Gary and Alex love
that. That's such a beautiful political answer. Can I really quickly say I
don't think Chase is getting enough heat. I mean, you see him in
that speedo when he comes out to help you guys on. I mean,
he's got a unit in more ways than one. He's just a stunning human
being. I don't know why he is a sexual pariah board the vessel,
but very very handsome kid. I think he comes off a little desperate,
but gohead. I know that Lucy said early on she isn't into American guys.
Yeah, so that that takes chase off of Lucy's table. Mads was
a little distracted. Yes, and your boyfriend and so and Daisy has several
Yeah, all right, Bonnie didn't have an excuse though Bonnie did not have
any blackout Bonnie, all right, Sean berg can I really quickly public service
announcement to our fans and when we post things on Instagram, please don't be
mean to I mean, you can say whatever you want. It's a free
country. In the internet is a disgusting place. But we posted a thing
where we were rather mean to Bonnie, calling her a drunk, and then
we have people calling her a gargoyle. And the comments, these people see
these things. It's very mean. Just trying to keep it classy in the
comments. Okay, we're mean enough, God damn it. Yeah. Still,
and you always say it takes a lot of bravery to criticize people.
It takes a lot of courage to make fun of people. Okay. So
Sean Bergen asked a great question, were you guys I guess tipped off that
at any given moment, Parsnip's engine could fucking shit out on you and kill
all of you. No, we had no clue. Are Our only concern
getting on the boat was whether we would have an up wind to sail or
not. We didn't know that not leaving the dock was ever really an option.
Yeah, we would have left the job because I would have said,
honey, get your wars out and start to find that. I feel like
I'm bonding with Robin Brian. Hey, can you take Dylan and I on
the next one? Will you have been? We want to be on your
next If they hit you, guys up, stay, we got some friends.
We can have a good time with you, all right, Just think
about it. Fani to be able to pop a fan. Oh, they're
going to know you're an imposter. I have extremely dexterous wrists. I can.
Yeah. Yeah, I think I could have a good time with these
two. Oh yeah, no, I think we'd have a great time.
Listen, we're a great company. But we have spoken to these gentlemen for
far too long. At this point, I think we're going to wrap things
up and let them get onto their day. I think we got all of
our most of our questions are, way, you've a very mean listener.
Vicky step Will wanted to know Gary comes off very skisy on TV. Did
he have a bad smell or dirty hair or owner while you're working? So
the thing is, we were prepared, I'll be I'll be candid. We
came on the boat being prepared not to like Gary because we'd seen him in
previous seasons. And you know, I have two daughters, and it changes
the way you approach. Yes, if you're like that. Yeah, And
we were prepared, you know, not to hate him, but not to
like him as much. Gary is charming. Yeah, Garry is so charismatic
and so charming that within a few minutes he and I were looking into your
stuff each other going okay, I get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah
he's got I mean, he's seem so uncomfortable in his own skin. I
know, it's like he's like a siren. All right, fine, Yeah,
smell funny. His hair looks great in person. I want to watch
on TV. I'm like, oh my god, it does look briefly and
awful, but in person it always looked fabulous. I quite know where one
one quick question, who wore better chaser? Gary? I think I know
the answer to that. Yeah, I think you do. Yeah. Yeah,
all right. Final question, will you guys be frequenting this show once
again in another season because I know how production works some of you. Will
you guys be back on Below Deck and will you invite Dylan and Eye as
your guests? We need the fans to support it. Yeah, we'd love
to be back. We'd love to be back on. It's extremely rare to
get invited back to do another one. Well, we hope that we see
you guys again, and we're really excited to go on vacation with you.
It's really it's really sweet that you guys have invited us. We're not worthy.
Um. We can't thank you guys enough for your time. We hope
you have a lovely weekend, happy Fourth of July. Anything you guys want
to plug Instagram anything? No, I mean people can find us, find
us. You guys were wrestling? Oh no, that you know. We
we'll go on again. Yeah, petition for Brian Rod to come back.
You guys were lovely on the show and on the podcast. Thank you very
much, real fine guys, thanks for doing this. Bye bye, guys, Thank you
