#3484 Below Deck Med S11E09: Watch Your Back

**Ben Mandelker** (0:21)
Hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. I'm Ben Mandelker, and joining me today is the wonderful Ronnie Karam. Hi Ronnie, how's it going?

**Ronnie Karam** (0:33)
Good. How you doing, baby?

**Ben Mandelker** (0:36)
I'm doing just great, thanks. We're here today to talk Below Deck Med. And then later today, we're going to recap the latest episode of House of the Dragon. If you or anyone you know is a big House of the Dragon Game of Thrones fan, we actually have a little side podcast called Winter is Crappening. And we put those episodes here on the Crappens feed. But you know, I know some of you are related to people who don't care about Bravo, who only want to hear Game of Thrones content. So they can subscribe over there to Winter is Crappening.
And then they'll get all the stuff that they want, which is just Game of Thrones stuff. So have them check that out. And also everyone should come to patreon.com/watch what crappens for our weekly bonus episode, newsletter ad free listening and video. You get to see our video a week before it goes out on to YouTube. And you should also be on our YouTube and subscribing there, because why not? All sorts of fun stuff.
With that being said, let's dive into the Adriatic Sea, or at least into Below Deck Med for another exciting episode, our first in the post-Luke era. What say you, Ronnie?

**Ronnie Karam** (1:49)
Here's what say me. Do you want to see a picture of me when I was just a little boy?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:54)
Yeah.

**Ronnie Karam** (1:56)
My aunt just sent me this picture while you were talking. I looked at it. So I'm going to show it to you. What do you think of that?

**Ben Mandelker** (2:02)
Yeah, I would love to see it.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:03)
Hey, why isn't it offering me a window? Open the window. Why isn't it showing me? Here, I'll just show you on my phone.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:10)
Wow.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:11)
Look at that.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:11)
Look how cute.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:13)
Still had that same vibe.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:15)
Yeah, still same blue steel vibe.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:18)
You know, some slobber coming down my face. Full head of hair. I love the shirt.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:22)
The shirt's great.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:23)
I still wear that shirt. I still wear that on tour.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:26)
It's very hipster.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:27)
So anyway, nobody can see that really, unless you're on Crappens On Demand. But there you go. I was young once. I was young once. So here we are, out with the old, in with the stew, and Dubrovnik is huge.
And Joe is steaming mad. Steaming mad, because Nate, Nathan showed up. Late for work. Don, don, don.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:53)
Yeah. Joe, of course, has taken the very first chance he can to basically pull the, what was her name? Stormy?

**SPEAKER_5** (3:03)
If I were chiefs to you.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:05)
So yeah, Bugsy. Why don't I say Stormy?

**SPEAKER_5** (3:08)
Oh, she's like, cause I'm bringing this to warm.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:12)
I was like, that's funny.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:14)
When I was chiefs to you.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:16)
He's like, and they ended up working out. Didn't she come back as chiefs to you once or no?

**Ben Mandelker** (3:20)
No, well, no, she wound up taking over as chiefs to you when Hannah was fired.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:26)
Yeah.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:27)
Right.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:27)
That didn't work out great. I don't think.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:29)
Bugsy.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:33)
So Joe is like, I know that if I were late, it would be a fucking different story.
And Koopa's like, now I understand where it's coming from. He's late for fucking work and he's the boss. That's just unacceptable.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:46)
So then Nathan has just arrived and he's standing in Sandy's office. And she's like, where have you been? Wayne started at least 30 minutes ago. You missed the whole first half of the show. I mean, the season's been unbelievable. Like that one cloud that we all thought was dead. And then like that guy who loves the cloud was like, I am the king.

**SPEAKER_6** (4:06)
And then the cloud came back to life and blew wind. Everyone was shocked. It was crazy. You missed it all, Nathan.

**Ronnie Karam** (4:11)
So intense this season. You know, it's Wind Island. You have to watch it every day. You can't just miss a day.
One wind was wearing a bikini bottom, but took off their bikini top. And then other wind got a wind boom. And let me tell you, I've never seen two clumps of wind fight so hard. It was beautiful. Can't wait to see what happens today. Wind is going to get kicked off today.
