• Chef Dave is the bomb dot com! I’ve always had a lot of respect for the guy.. he’s open, honest, fights for men’s mental health causes. He’s a decent human.

• In this episode of my podcast Chef Dave told me that nothing was off limits, and let me tell you, this is the best type of interview! We dig deeper into the infamous Dave/Tasha situation, how he almost “abandoned ship” TWICE, why he’s constantly working on bringing awareness to mental health initiatives, how he’s climbing Everest for the second time, his regrets from the show and what advice he’d go back and give himself! And much more.. enjoy the 40 minute super packed episode.

• Guys! This has to be one of my favourite interviews! Brittini didn’t say even one thing was off limits. We spoke about her and Culver, WHICH BD FRANCHISE SHE WAS ORIGINALLY SLATED TO JOIN, the first reality show she auditioned for before BD, Storylines and perspectives while filming Below Deck, Below Deck scandals through the years, her feminine energy, and more!

• Oriana Schneps couldn’t have been more professional, kind and fun to chat with. She teases that there is some upcoming drama between her and her cast mates. The thing we don’t really see with Oriana in the show is that she’s actually a genius! Biomedical Degree, startups under the belt, etc. we talk favourites, how she ended up back in yachting, we played some games, we touched on why everyone seemed to dislike Kyle so much… and more. I hope y’all like the interview…

• You gotta love this little streak of Sailing Yacht crew I got going on! Georgia was just a pure delight to have on! She came prepared with never before heard tea (She was supposed to be on BDSY season 2 AND 3?!), she gave us everything we could want from behind the scenes of the first season, we get what she thinks of all the hate Jenna got, the absolute terrible trolling of her body that made her go to the gym, her return to Parsifal with Glenn, Ciara and Paget after the cameras had left and how that went, and she gives us an epic 2 truths and one lie as a game!

• This is a half episode because it is an episode compiled of all the juiciest parts of season 1!

• We have Katie telling us that Lexi was “throwing the Hannah situation in her face” and more about fateful night at the jacuzzi that didn’t make it to our screens, Zee giving us pure comedy while playing ‘never have I ever’, a hilarious story of me tricking the fans of my page into thinking a photo of me was the new Captain for one of the BD spin-offs and the reaction I got, F-Marry-Kill with the lovely Scarlett Bentley, Dani giving us her very real take about the Ashley/Gary controversy, Heather Chase and the aftermath of Rayna-Gate, Brooke Laughton and the PURE shade toward the crew members on her season “just there to film”, and more!!

Please check out season 1 and season 2 episode 3 will be back with a Below Deck crew member guest next Wednesday ❤️

• Ciara from the very first season of Below Deck Sailing stops by Pop-Off! and by golly, she is such a fking sweetheart! I feel so blessed that one of the privileges I get from running my fan page is that I get to meet such lovely people.

• We spoke about the interesting story of how she ended up on BDSY, how she’s good friends (and business partners) with new mom Jess More (she was there during Charli’s birth!), the pact and expectations her and her ex Paget had going into filming, her future as a business owner and university student, the disgusting hate she got in her DMs when the show aired, how literal IGUANAS drop from the Florida trees this time of year (What?!), her future (or non future) in Yachting… and more!

Sit back and watch us pop off! I grill him about his trolling and his online persona, what he thinks about Jamie being called the worst Below Deck cast member, his new ONLY FANS and what we can expect to see on the page, we meet his girlfriend and he lets us know his future plans to become a house hold name!! + more!! Love you guys thanks for listening :) every Wednesday evening xo A Below Deck Above Average Production with host James Pike.

Scarlett is just the sweetest damn thing! And so gorge! We had a good chat, she opened up about what it was like joining the show in the middle of the season and the moment she walked onto the boat to everyone just chillin on their bunks, we talk about the dynamic between Ashley Her and Gary, what it was like sharing a bunk with Ashley after going for Gary, we find out her version of what makes Gary the heartthrob he is, she tells us what makes Daisy such a good Chief Stew, what she does in her spare time, a crazy procedure she had done on her lips!, we play F - Marry - “throw overboard” (her answer was actually surprising), and so much more!

I seriously adore her, she couldn’t have been sweeter, more down to earth, and chill! Thank you Scarlett!
