Our audience is lit tonight. You can see my first guest on FreeBurt now streaming on Netflix and tonight she's here to free all the Bravo opinions. Please welcome Arden Marine. May I also mention that FreeBurt got picked up for season two today. And from Petina's deck crew give it up for Eddie Hounsole from Boyd West down Under. Okay I want to get quite in I want to get right into below that under. So if you send someone a text that says I want to get alien with you. Yeah. What am I so out of it that I don't know what that's not out of this world enough. Yes okay. Aliens. So that's what you mean you want to get out of this world or I'll be honest but I think we've all been there when we've chucked out that 3 a.m. like Hell Mary text and let's be honest we then read it through like none of that makes sense. Wow I don't think I've ever sexed it like that but I like it. That's some kinky stuff that sex thing but yeah what was your reaction to your fight with Jenna in the van when you saw. I mean it wasn't meant to be a fight it was very much me trying to dig myself out and it was just it was like quicksand more I gave it more I just sank down so. Okay so on to Alicia. Do you think looking back on it that she was really in love with her boyfriend and how do you how did you feel about her saying that she was embarrassed by what happened between the two of you. I mean I think it was so early on between her and her boyfriend at the time. I can't say too much on like the context I've no idea how what level they were at with each other but I think it is good how she took some accountability and it's not shown as much but she definitely took a lot of accountability as it went on and you see in that last one when she called him probably didn't phrase it the best way to him but I could see that her mind was somewhat trying to be in the right space for that. You thought what. I mean like she's a cutie pie a last year with the smoochy rude she has like ventricle everybody likes her I was rooting for you I it didn't seem like she was that into her I mean we like Adi like our king Adi. The speed of the speed of collection I don't know I was kind of running for our king the speed of. Oh hero thank you. By the way were you upset when you found out that Mike went off gossiping to Jenna about your text Alicia. I didn't show it but he after I was like how did Jena find out I was going to tell her he was like I'm not sure I was like was you. Yeah he's the pie. I mean it's just my classic like the most he's probably one of the biggest pot store stirers I've met. I've surrounded myself in life around that so I was just kind of like oh well this is nothing new and and then the day it was my fault anyway so the accountability had to be on me. It was nice to see chef Ben overcome the broken oven. Yes. I mean shocking because he gets triggered easily. Yes and he brought the bubble bath through a word. Yes but I have a feeling that this is this Ellie cleaning the kitchen until three in the morning is not going to wind up being forgotten. I have to say I want to give Ellie both some proof I feel like Ellie to me this season this is her redemption tour. Right. Chef Ben he hurt people hurt people he's been a bit of a hot head but my day but he's been hurt but she's coming back strong and I feel like like next to chef Ben like she's looking iconic I'm here for Ellie. Did it bother you that Janice seemed more interested in chef Ben than she did with you. I'll be honest that my biggest naivety is my naivety I was so like woof over it I had no idea that was even happening the whole time. I'm too busy dancing and like shaking my ass out on the night outside. I genuinely do that that's going on. Yeah no you want to get Ellie on with all of them. Over at the bar from the States Project the nation's only organization focused on winning state legislative power. It's Melissa Walker. I'm so glad you're here. I you know when everyone I do give to a lot of political campaigns but the States Project is my go-to charity because you can actually manifest change at the state level which is where everything happens right. Yeah that's absolutely true everyone focuses on the federal government is where the spotlight lives but we work where the power is not where the glamour is. I love it the state project. Yeah it's a really great organization. Arden is caught up on below deck down under and summer also tonight special is Serfen turf. Yeah. I go through the drama here we go. Okay below deck down under what do you make of the Eddie Jenna Alicia love triangle. I feel like he likes Alicia. I feel like she's a forbidden fruit and it is I don't think you should get into a love triangle on it on a boat too small. What's your read on chef Ben charming or total jerk. I have to say chef Ben I'm sorry told jerk. Because everybody honey but not a fun way you know I mean so I'm gonna say sorry Ben not not not there for it. You smell good. Thank you. It's what is it live watt and period. Oh my god of course it is. Thank you. How are you enjoying enjoying the return of Ellie and do you prefer seeing her as a stew or in the new role as chef's assistant. Look I'm missing Ellie take 20 hours to get ready for the runway strut in her S&M outfit that she did in the last outcome. Still to come. I like her as a chef's assistant I feel like she's organized. She's on point most improved. All right how do you think Daisy and Joao are handling their respective teams. I feel like Daisy and Joao wow I feel like they are power couple. We don't usually see a boasting and a chiefs do get along. I'm shipping them I want them to hook up. You call him Joao wow yeah I love that. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Wow wow wow. Wow. Okay summer house what did you make of the whole Jesse Sierra. Dib's mask. I mean look anybody that even I see Sarah as a goddess she's the coolest woman alive I think that he messed up and should have been like I love Sierra but he should shoot a shot she's the best in the world. Do you think Sierra should give wet West another shot. I hate myself for saying yes but I kind of do that she's he's gonna break her heart and might say more about me and men like she should run for the hills but I want I'm like maybe this time he's different. Yeah he should run so I think that she should not be with him but I want them to be together. On a scale of one to ten how shocked were you to hear that Kylie Kyle and Amanda split up. I'm gonna give I was Kylie and Kyle and Amanda on a scale of one to ten I was three and a half shocked that they split up I was surprised that they actually she actually did it but I like seeing her thriving late night smoking pot killing it right now. Yeah. Yeah. Her bikini is like hot I'm here for it she's having a good time. What do you make a bends reaction to Bailey's ill-time Joao. Look I felt for Bailey I relate to Bailey but it was bad he's an Australian golden god. I feel like he is the upper handy took a little too far she started crying in the bathroom I feel bad for her. Given Jesse moving way too fast last season with Lexi are you do you think KJ should be putting the brakes on with Dara a little bit. Okay KJ I'm rooting for you baby boy you have no game you have no game so Jesse's a little more game your itinerary is a lot the date I tinerary when he was laying it out is like we're going to this we're going to pick it it's like be cool he's got abs of steel but a marshmallow heart I'm worried about it's gonna get struck broken I'm worried about him I'm worried about KJ. What has been your reaction to seeing Lindsay and Carl interact. I could watch them interact awkwardly for 40. It's so awkward. I love it. Both of them are peaking right now she's the hottest milk on TV. Carl in a soft bar during his TikTok dance I'm here for it he's actually opening here for that so I love watching them awkwardly interact. They're both peaking right now. Okay thank you. Good night in the world's most awkward Van Rijena accused Eddie of using her as a pawn in his game to pursue Alicia but I'm hoping she won't mind playing a vital role in my game to get in Eddie's business let's play. How do you stew? Eddie Jenna and Alicia have popped up on either side of you answer my questions by picking a stew who works harder Jenna yeah who does Daisy like better Jenna who charms the gas better Alicia yeah he's more fun during the crew nights out Alicia. >> Yeah. >> Lisa Bigger Flirt. >> Alicia. >> Yeah. >> Who does Captain Jason like better? >> Alicia. >> Who do you think is gonna stick with their yawning career for Long-Grey, me and Jenna? >> Yeah. >> Woo-hoo. >> That's the biggest potster. Oh. Ty. >> Woo-hoo. >> Who did the guests gravitate more?
Alicia. Yeah! What do you feel the rest of the crew was closer with? Oh, that's that tough one. Dana, all right. Thank you. [CHEERING] What is Ferry Bird about? Ferry Bird is about Burt Kreischer and his wife, Lann, who I'm playing. And he's sort of like a party boy trying to fit-- he's trying to fit into like a regular school world. So it sort of reminds me of Caddy Shack. Oh, my God. Yeah, like infiltrating rich people, but we're sort of like the family that's not like everyone else. Clearly. Let's take some questions from our fans. We have Nicole from Texas, Standing by our studio. [CHEERING] We have a question for Arden. OK. Arden, since you have a bachelor podcast, what do you think of Ashley I being a Rhode Island housewife? Oh, my God, I cannot wait. I'm so excited. What do I-- who didn't watch the hatchery-- Oh, my God. --need to know about Ashley I, because I only know her as a housewife, and she's so brilliant. She's iconic. You need to-- here's the lure of Ashley I. Ashley I loved Jared because she thought he looked like Aladdin, and she loved Disney, and she wanted-- Absolutely. --to teach us, and that's why she wanted him. And she basically stalked him and wrote him a handwritten like seven-page single space letter and got her man, and now she wants to Rhode Island. Wow. She sometimes don't stalk at home kids, but it didn't work for Ashley I. She's also-- she cries multiple times in episode. She's a fun cry-- She's a very, very dramatic cryer. Yeah. She's like, really good at it. Yeah. All the best people do. Yeah, yeah. It's not a subtle cry. It's not because sometimes people cry like this, and they're like-- No, no, she goes-- She goes-- --fold throught. She-- I-- I-- I-- I-- I-- I-- I-- I-- I-- I-- --woulda cried, and I feel like I'm like, girl, I see you. I love it. I love it. A virtual van Lindsay from Texas is on the line with a question for Eddie. Hi. Yes, Lindsay from Austin. I want to point out that I'm from Austin, not all the Texas and will flip Texas. Yeah. Hey, everyone. Hi, everybody. I was in Austin yesterday. Yeah. I know. I saw you were on Congress. I lived downtown. I was a parent. Awesome. Yeah. Yes, just also finished free bird. Loved it. Thank you. My question is for Eddie. Yeah. Eddie, even though you liked spending time with Jenna, can you honestly admit that if Alisa were single, you would have gone for her first instead? Good question. No, obviously, if Alisa was single, I immediately was already going for her. So that would have just gone straight from that night where she pied me off and said, no, [BLEEP] And by the way, why was Jenna so upset you would drop her when Jenna said in her confessional that she wasn't that into you? Oh, I think that's fair enough. That's like pretty harsh words coming from me to sit there and say that. Obviously, it wasn't directly to her. It was a conversation with Alisa, who I liked for about a week by that point. And then the fact that we had been trying, trying, trying. And what I like-- I say we. That's the year in August. I hate-- And Yossing turns, a week is like seconds. Put her ring on. No, so yeah, that's not-- No, it was hard words to see for Jenna. So I definitely can sympathise for her on that. Well, Eddie Drunkenly texted Alisa that he dropped her on her second to quote, "I hope you're an alien with her." And now nine faraway beings are beaming into the clubhouse on her mission to explore our favourite oceanic universe. It is time for Bravo Wood Squares below deck edition. Yay! You will each take turns picking a Bravo Liberty and listening to A Below Deck theme statement, you will then guess whether their statement is true or false. If you guess right, you take the square, tick-tack-toe rules apply. I'll say it. Three in a row. I like to win. OK, I said-- Gamel. Takt-toe. It's what we're playing. Arden, you are first up.

Hello, Deck featuring Eddie are on Monday's at Able Home, Captain on Bravo. Melissa Walker from the nonprofit States Foundation. He's the only state organization focused on winning state legislative power, helping state lawmakers govern effectively to help build a healthy, sustainable and prosperous future for all. I love the state's project. Let's go back to the fans. Amanda from New York is in our audience with the question for Eddie. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hey, Eddie. I have a question. Hello. So, what was scarier, serving the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City on Zombie Night, or realizing that you sent that text message to Alicia? Oh, they're Real Housewives. I was s---ed myself. OK. I was pure panic the whole time. You'd just come out there and you had no. I had to watch the episodes back, because I had no idea what they were arguing about. It's like having someone go "Emmath." "Emmath." Like that and comes in. So, when you watch their episodes where you're like, "Wow, all that was going on, that's. " I was just also just like, "That's so unhealthy. How do you live like that?" Yeah. At the same time, it was just like, "Wow, now that makes sense why are you doing all of that?" Right. Mary Cossie for just being mellow, hanging out with her friends. She's my favourite. I've seen her. I can't just hang out. She was your favourite. I've seen her in the end. Like, probably coming out and searching for anything. But I was like, "No, she's my first. Every time throughout the end, they were all amazing. They were so good to us. But her especially, she was just always so nice. She'd be asking, "How am I doing?" She really wanted to get to know me. Love you, Mary. -She's showing her hands. -Come on. I love doing as well. Let's go to our virtual fan, Taryn from San Antonio as a question for Arden. Hi, Andy. Hi, Eddie. Hi, Arden. Hi. My question is actually for you. Who was the friendliest on the set of friends? Oh. Did you ever interact with Sean Penn at all since he was in the same episode? Thank you for asking. I hope I'm going to work backwards. Sean Penn was lovely. And I remember being backstage with him because it filmed in front of an audience. And he was really nervous because he hadn't really done like many live things. And so, and his kids love the show. And I remember saying to Sean Penn, like, "You're going to be great." You know? Like, calming down Sean Penn was a wild moment. And I have to say that Matthew Perry was this sweet. Like, we had a nice chat in between. Like, he was very sweet and very low-key invited me to go to Six Flags with he and his friends. And like, in a very gentlemanly. Yeah, he was really very sweet. So, I would say Matthew Perry was the friendliest. That's great. Yeah, yeah. All right. God, you've been in a lot of stuff. All right. I want to thank Arden. I want to thank Eddie and I want to thank Eddie and I want to thank him for something really good for our brother, Tee.com. Good night, everybody. Thanks for listening to the podcast, everybody. Hope you enjoyed the show. Remember new episodes go live Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. Eastern time. Make sure you're subscribed to have a great rest of your night.
