Gangplank ReportSo Long for Now And Thank You ImmenselySometimes life presents you with tough choices and Adrienne and Jen are having to make one. There aren't enough words to describe the gratitude the ladies have for everyone who has been a part of the Gangplank community. Goodbyes are hard (unless we're talking about Camille or Alissa) so Adrienne and Jen prefer to say So Long For Now.
Thank you all so much for a wonderful ride. We hope to see you down the road. 2023-02-2207 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Adventure S1 Ep13 Finale Plus The OG With KG Ep10On the OG With KG there's a new face to talk about, and an old one that rears her head. Also, this week Alissa wasn't doing herself any favors and Ross was messier than ever.
Then on the Below Deck Adventure recap, Adrienne and Jen break down the finale episode and who they'd like to see return to our screens if the series is renewed. 2023-02-0233 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Adventure S1 Ep11 Surfacing Secrets Plus The OG with KG Ep8On Below Deck OG this week, the bell is finally tolling, but they couldn't just let it end without another to be continued. Kathy and Jen have opposing views on Fraser, but unlike Camille and Alyssa, the ladies can keep it civil.
At about 22 minutes in Adrienne and Jen break down the breakdowns on this charter from Faye and Jess, and scratch their heads in unison over what kind of power Seth's new job title really gives him. 2023-01-1945 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Adventure S1 Ep10 Hair Asea Plus The OG With KG Ep 7First up we have The OG With KG with the inimitable Kathy Gilmour. She's created a new game everyone can play along at home, at least as long as Camille is still part of the crew. Then at about the 15:55 mark, Jen is joined this week by Super Fan Will who is filling in for Adrienne. Will helps Jen suss out the radio drama with Nathan as well as the interior drama. And last but not least, Will shares some of the stories readers can find in his upcoming book Sails Speak Louder Than Words. 2023-01-1240 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Adventure S1 Ep 9 Bosun No Son plus The OG with KG Ep6First up, our favorite comedian Kathy Gilmour finds the funny in jellyfish stings and shares more of her hilarious takes on Below Deck OG S10 Ep6. Then at about the 13 minute mark, Adrienne and Jen lend their views on Seth's bold move to overthrow Lewis, as well as their thoughts on some of the other relationships in conflict on the Mercury. 2023-01-0528 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Adventure S1 Ep8 Chefzilla PLUS The OG With KG Ep5This Gangplank Report combines the Goodbye Captain Lee, Hello Captain Sandy episode that aired before Christmas with this week's Below Deck Adventure airing. As always, the lovely Kathy Gilmour gives her hysterical takes on OG, including the whiplash the crew must be feeling when it comes to captaining styles. Then Adrienne and Jen break down what they both agree is their favorite episode of Adventure so far this season.

Have a safe and Happy New Year's Eve! ...2022-12-2929 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Adventure S1 Ep7 Captain DeckhandNot just one, but two of our favorite people join Adrienne and Jen for this week's podcast. First on the OG with KG, Kathy Gilmour shares her thoughts on Ross, Camille, and Fraser's choice in pants holder-uppers. Then on the Below Deck Adventure recap (12:45 mark) Captain Tiffany Copeland joins the ladies to give a little insight into the new deckhand Seth, as well as how things are going this season on the show compared to her experiences. 2022-12-1537 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Adventure S1 Ep6 Not Here To Screw Spiders PLUS OG With KGDouble duty again here. We're like Camille, only working. First up is the OG with KG covering Episode 3 of Below Deck. She shares her thoughts on everything from Tony's workout to the unconscionable wig pull by Dr. Hollie. Then at the 17:44 mark (for those of you listening a little at a time) Adrienne and Jen discuss all the happenings on the Yachtwives episode of Below Deck Adventure. Trust....they are not here to screw spiders.
2022-12-0836 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck OG Med And Adventure TurDuckEnGet ready, because you are about to be so chock full of Below Deck content that even our international listeners will know what it feels like to celebrate Thanksgiving in the States. We've got three episodes crammed into one. A veritable TurDuckEn of a podcast. First we have the amazing Kathy Gilmour with her take on Ep1 of S10 of Below Deck OG, then Adrienne and Jen hit the highlights (or lowlights) from the Med reunion. And last but never least, the ladies cover the new episode of Below Deck Adventure. Time stamps below for those of you who pr...2022-11-2445 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Adventure S1 Ep3 NBOdMost of us saw the writing on the wall for Kyle's fate on the very first episode, but it finally manifested into being NBO'd this week. Couldn't happen to a more deserving dude, as far as Adrienne and Jen are concerned. They aren't alone, as Adrienne testifies to after witnessing the crowd's reaction at the watch party at Paddy Mac's. The ladies try to suss out Lewis' motivation behind his hope for Kyle to be able to stay, and they discuss which Bravoleb the Twitterverse is comparing Kasie to.2022-11-1718 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S7 Ep19 Ankle What AnkleWe have made it to the end, y'all! Well, technically, not all of us have made it. Adrienne is on charter with sketchy wi-fi, so she missed the finale. She may have manifested that a la The Secret though, because the show has been dragging and it has taken forever to get here. Jen ties the bow on the bow solo with a quick recap, a few thoughts, and a heads up on where you can see Adrienne and Captain Kerry from Adventure in person on Tuesday, November 15th. Thank you for sticking with us through another season of Med...2022-11-1508 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Adventure S1 Ep1 Mercury RisingWe've been talking about it for a year and it's finally here! Below Deck Adventure took its maiden voyage and Adrienne and Jen are breaking down their first impressions of the crew and the view. First impressions can be a make or break and there's one crew member already on thin ice with the ladies. Be sure to hit us up on IG and Twitter @GangplankReport and let us know what you thought of the debut.
And if you haven't already, be sure to check out our interview with Captain Kerry Titheradge and find out what the n...2022-11-0315 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S7 Ep17 Is It Over YetWe're in the home stretch, but the end of the season seems like the long hallway leading to the exit in a horror movie that keeps getting farther and farther away. On this episode Kyle's fall led Tash to a decision that surprised Jen, but not Adrienne. The guests finally get off the dock only to return to it by water taxi a few hours later. Is that the reason for the low end tip or were the fish dishes Dave's first miss? We also fill you in on what's to come for Gangplank over the next few weeks. 2022-11-0120 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S7 Ep 16 The Harder They FallHome is stuck at dock and the timing couldn't be worse, because these charter guests know their yachts and love watersports. Pressure is on the interior to ensure a good tip, but tension is high between Dave and Tash. Add Kyle taking a Humpty Dumpty down the galley stairs, and things aren't looking like they'll end on a high note.
Who gets your Joe Torres human feces award this week? Don't know who Joe is? Check out the last few minutes of the podcast and hear about Adrienne's experience with the unaccommodating owner of #BoxHouseHotel2022-10-2519 minGangplank ReportBDM S7 Ep15 Dumbo Can TipThe guests may be skeevy, but Dumbo can tip at least. Kyle does the right thing in our eyes, but not Natasha's after his tiff with Nat. But is it only because Sandy caught his trash talking? Reid also ends up having to apologize, but the ladies felt it was more sincere. Adrienne and Jen also discuss if they think Nat is leading Storm on, or if he knows the game and is playing it to his favor. 2022-10-1820 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S7 Ep14 Head of TrashSpeakingThis episode brings up so many questions. Can you break up when you were never really a couple? Who knew so many people would be sad to see Jason leave? And probably the biggest question on Adrienne and Jen's minds: How can two people with no guests to serve be unable to clean one stateroom in the time it takes to climb a small mountain?
The ladies give their thoughts on these questions, and Adrienne answers some listener questions from John in New Jersey and Princess Liane.
Also, if you'd like to help World Central Kitc...2022-10-1124 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S7 Ep13 Super Author Korina MossWhat better way to kick off the spookiest month of the year than with a little mystery? This week's Super Fan is Korina Moss, author of The Cheese Shop Mysteries series. Her most recent book "Gone For Gouda" just released and Jen devoured it like it was one of the protagonist's delectable cheese dishes. We discuss what goes into creating a cozy mystery, find out her thoughts on Below Deck, and then play a little game of combining the two worlds.
Adrienne also shares with us what she's been up to since Ian made landfall, and how...2022-10-0627 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S7 Ep13 Charter of DestinyPardon the brevity of this recap, but Adrienne was in the middle of prepping for the arrival of Hurricane Ian, and every minute counted. The ladies made sure to hit the highlights, including how much nicer Jason is when he has one foot off the boat, where they stand on Storm's announcement, and why one of their faves is rankling their nerves a bit.
Since Ian made landfall, Adrienne has been working with World Central Kitchen to prepare and distribute food to those in Florida who were affected.

She even had a chance encounter with Adrienne long before they were ever neighbors. She shares that story with us, as well as her franchise faves and thoughts on this season of Below Deck Med.
Our thoughts and best hopes go out to all of you in Hurricane Ian's path. Stay safe. 2022-09-2921 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S7 Ep10 Super Fan IreneIt has been pure joy meeting new fans of Below Deck through the podcast, but there's something special about finally getting to talk with someone who you've been tweeting with for years. That's the case with this week's Super Fan Irene. She's been tweeting with the ladies for a while and joining in on live tweets, but now Adrienne and Jen have the chance to actually talk with her, and she did not disappoint. She had a lot of great insights on the cast and what might make the season better. Check her out and give her a follow...2022-09-1524 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S7 Ep10 Filler UpAfter the midseason trailer the ladies were expecting a little more pizazz. Unfortunately it was a whole lot of filler. But there are nuggets of treasure buried neath the sea that Adrienne helped Jen comprehend. How much water is too much water to provision when you're floating on water? Who picks where guests picnic? And what's to be done when a Chief can't read the room? That one's easy...you cringe mightily. 2022-09-1321 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S7 Ep9 Super BDM Alum Tiffany CopelandWhen it comes to opinions on Below Deck Med, we always like to hear from someone who was there at the beginning. This week Captain Tiffany Copeland is back and she shares her thoughts and some predictions for this season with the ladies. Plus Adrienne tells a sea tale that neither Jen nor Tiffany has ever heard that has them both shocked and cracking up. Come join the fun!

Somehow, it all winds up with a happy ending. Or does it? Plus Adrienne answers some listener questions. (Thank you, Katie & Liane!!) Check it out! 2022-09-0626 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S7 Ep8 Super Fan Tim Timmerman from Q102Jen's worlds are colliding this week. She's been listening to Q102 for as long as she can remember and she still spends her mornings listening to this week's guest Tim Timmerman. Tim is one of the co-hosts on The Jeff and Jenn Morning Show, as well as being a realtor and having a home reno business. Somehow, he still finds the time to enjoy Below Deck, so the ladies are getting his take on the series and Adrienne is answering all of Tim's yachting questions.

Tash is wearing both Adrienne and Jen out, and they wish she'd take a page out of Natalya's book and learn communication skills. Kyle fell head over heels with a preference sheet pic, and for once...the real thing was better. Could it be so much better that he forgets the line between customer service and inappropriateness? Jason's tude has the gals confused, and has Adrienne making a prediction about his future on the boat this season. Courtney is crushing it, which makes the w...2022-08-3028 minGangplank Report[REBROADCAST] Roy Orbison Jr and FamilyAdrienne had a last minute work event, so instead of leaving you hanging with no Super Fan episode, we're flashing back to a year ago. We had a chance then to speak with one of our favorite families ever on Below Deck...the Orbisons. Technically, we saw the crib from their trip in one of Courtney's flashbacks this week, so the timing fits pretty well. We'll be back next week with the S7 Ep7 recap. 2022-08-1839 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S7 Ep5 Super Fan Bob BThis past weekend Gangplank celebrated hitting the 100,000 listens mark and there was no better Super Fan to have this week than Bob B, who has supported us from the very beginning. He has great insights into the show, a quick sense of humor, and the ladies always look forward to tweetfests with him during and after the live tweets. He also asked some great questions this week of Adrienne that Jen not only didn't know the answer to, but hadn't even thought of. A total rock star, and not just because of his band. 2022-08-1146 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S7 Ep3 What ScandalBravo titled this episode "A Whole Yacht of Scandal," but Adrienne and Jen have searched all over and can't find it. Maybe it was opposite day? Or perhaps a clever marketing ploy to make a filler episode seem more interesting? The ladies discuss the "aftermath" of Dave's confession and why there's only bun with this nothing burger storyline. They also deep dive into Raygan's ability to lower a bar that was already on the floor. If they don't talk about it now, they might not have a chance in the future the way things are looking. Tick tock. 2022-07-2622 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S7 Ep 1 Welcome HomeIt's Season 2 of Gangplank and Season 7 of Below Deck Mediterranean, Gang!

Gangplank ReportBelow Deck Sailing S3 Ep17 Bravo Misled UsWhile we could probably stock a year's worth of guests for a Misled By Bravo podcast, in this case we're just discussing their Gaisy tease in their title. "All Roads Lead to Gaisy" was let down for folks who want the duo to become a couple, but it did have some amazing and heartfelt moments. Adrienne and Jen are sad to see it come to an end, but are looking forward to what closure and resolution might occur at the reunion next week. The ladies are also excited that the Med trailer dropped and discuss the release date and...2022-06-2217 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Sailing S3 Ep16 Super Guest Dr. Steve G JonesWe're taking you back to the very beginning...OG Below Deck S1. This week's Gangplank guest is Dr. Steve G. Jones, who has the honor of being the first full charter guest, the first guest to tip, and the first person to ever try to hypnotize Adrienne. The Clinical Hypnotherapist has a lot of tea from the early days, including the fib production told that set the tipping standard we've come to know. This wasn't his first rodeo with Bravo either. Tune in and find out the other Bravo classic he appeared on, and be sure check out his s...2022-06-1623 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Sailing S3 Ep16 Alcohol Full and Gluten FreeWith Adrienne hard at work in the Caribbean, Jen is lucky enough to be joined by former Super Fan Roseann. The two break down the penultimate episode, from the cake struggles to Scarlett's shutdown of Gary's advances, and culminating in the "I do's" on an overcrowded island. There's only one more episode left this season, so get caught up before the reunion! 2022-06-1535 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Sailing S3 Ep15 Slap HappyShow of hands....who wants the Hurricane game included in every episode? Adrienne and Jen wouldn't mind it, especially if some of the crew is on the receiving end. These guests would rank lowest on the list of who deserves a slap this season. They did Canada and Glenn proud with their good natures and fun-loving spirits. Somehow, even with the weight of grief and miscommunication weighing him down, Marcos was able to pull out a miracle and shine again. Will the gluten free multi-tiered wedding cake for the guests next week be his final straw? We doubt it...2022-06-0819 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Sailing S3 Ep14 One Star StewThe race is on! The question is, are we referring to the literal one between Parsifal III and La Cattiva or is it the race towards Gary's next conquest? While Adrienne is cheffing it up in the Keys, Jen is joined by our favorite Brit Roy, and he helps her decipher whether Daisy's comments to Scarlett at dinner were really jokes, or if she's just trying to save face after making Scarlett cry. Marcos gets some crushing news, but will he be able to push through and perform? As for the title, we doubt we need to elaborate on...2022-06-0122 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Sailing S3 Ep12 Karma Karma AshleyAdrienne and Jen had so much fun watching and breaking down this episode, and they want to let you in on some of the fun too.

If you're an intellectual you probably realize the phrase didn't originate with Star Trek. Either way, if karma were to devise a plan for revenge over Gaby feeling marginalized...these guests would be the ticket. Over-the-top cocktail recipes, sleeping through meals, and barking out multiple requests rank them right up there with Cherica. It was so commentary-worthy that Adrienne emerged from her Chardonnay-nay hangover to break it all down from her land yachting location. 2022-05-1117 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Sailing S3 Ep10 Below Deck SVU EditionAdrienne and Jen are sad to see Gaby go, but happy for the choices that led her to the beautiful place in her life where she is now. What they aren't happy about and were frankly shocked by, was what the closed-door dialogue led them to believe went down between Ashley and Gary. Is there a double standard at play when a man is on the receiving end? Was it just a case of drunken shenanigans, or a case for SVU? 2022-04-2720 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Sailing S3 Ep9 Nailed ItIf the ship rocking back and forth doesn't make you queasy, watching Gary's deck mess nail procedure just might. Adrienne joins Jen from the Bahamas with tales of what it's like to watch the show with a cast member. The ladies discuss how Ashley puts the "con" in confidante. And finally they try to figure out what's missing from what we're all getting to see that might clear up some of their confusion. 2022-04-2016 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Sailing S3 Ep8 FaceplantAdrienne is on charter in the Bahamas, so our Man In The UK Roy makes a return appearance. He and Jen break down the physical and metaphorical faceplants on this week's episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. They're both a bit blindsided by where the Marcos and Gaby tension sprung from, and curious how Gaby and Ashley went from mortal enemies to hugging confidantes. You can barely blink this season or you wind up completely at sea. 2022-04-1325 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Sailing S3 Ep 6 Sket chy BehaviorAdrienne and Jen both agree that this episode is one of their absolute favorites. Boat drama. Crew drama. Drama drama. It had everything a fan could want without overdoing any of it. We found out how dangerous what was happening at the cliff hanger really could have been. We watch Glenn struggle with what to do about the Tom problem. And just when you think things can't get more awkward, another passenger decides to hop on the Gary-Go-Round. Absolute madness....make sure you don't miss it! 2022-03-3023 minGangplank ReportBDSY S3 Ep5 Super Couple Roseann and MichaelRoseann and Michael are this week's Super Fan Super Couple. Not only are they charming and funny, but they had an encyclopedic recall for guests that quickly snatched Jen's Super Fan crown. They had some great questions for Adrienne that helped shine a light on what's real and what's for television, and Roseann also had an excellent idea for a spinoff show. So Bravo Producers, hit her up! 2022-03-2443 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Sailing S3 Ep5 If This Boat's a RockinAdrienne is getting ready to head out on charter, so she brought along a special guest for this episode Chief Stew Elise May Flanagan. (Be sure to give her a follow. Twitter: @eliseflans, IG: @eflans) Elise gives some great insight into the ongoing problems between Gabriela and Ashley, and shares whether or not she's had to face what Daisy is currently experiencing while working on charters.

She's been a fan of Below Deck since Day 1 and has some great takes on the franchises and this season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Be sure not to take a sip of water before she speaks though. Jen's electronics have been subject to many spittakes since the two met. Plus Adrienne dishes on whether Below Deck yachtie life is anything like the real thing.

Guests falling, Dollar Store decor, and don't even get them started on what Tom had to do for the birthday party. Adrienne and Jen do their best to sort it all out, but one thing that was and is top notch in their eyes is Marcos. His backstory is heartbreaking, but his attitude, pride in his work, and massive skill set puts all of the pieces back together. 2022-03-0220 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Sailing Yacht S3 Ep1 Tom Is An IdiotIt's baaaaaccccckkk! Adrienne and Jen are so excited to get to talk about Sailing Yacht after being bowled over by how great season 2 was before they started Gangplank. The first episode not only didn't disappoint but has the ladies pumped for what looks like a very entertaining season. So much so that one of the ladies is already tossing around Emmy hopes. On this recap the gals give their first impressions on the new faces and discuss which ones they're happy to see return. 2022-02-2319 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck S9 Ep15 Reunion Non Confidential ConversationStick a fork in this season because it's finally done, and Adrienne and Jen couldn't be happier. While not a lot of new information came out of the reunion, the ladies were still able to pick apart a few things to wrap up this series. Gangplank is going to take a much needed mini-hiatus, but we will be back and ready to recap Below Deck Sailing Yacht the week of February 21st. Thank you all so much for your support during both this season and the Med, and we hope you'll come back and sail along with us for...2022-02-0918 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck S9 Ep14 Super Captain Douglas MeierInstead of bringing her hobby to work, Adrienne is bringing work to her hobby. Captain Douglas Meier is helming the charter she's currently working on and he's sharing his real life yachting perspective with Gangplank and discussing the pros and cons of Below Deck in regards to the yachting industry. He explains what viewers should know and especially what potential future yachties should know about yacht life.

What we do cover though is the drama of the final evening out and thoughts on future seasons.

Adrienne and Jen got that chance this week, and it turned into a Super Duper sized Super Fan episode. This week's guest is Taria, host of What Else Is Going On (WEIGO) podcast. She's funny, insightful, authentic and so many other inspiring adjectives. She generously shared her thoughts, time and spirit with us and we're better for it.

Everyone seems cranky and off their game. Jen apologizes in advance for being unable to maintain positivity when it comes to Heather, but Adrienne felt a kinship with the Grief Stew in at least one portion of the episode. The ladies discuss that, as well as the odd coupling of Fraser and Jake, and also Eddie's massive screw up leaving the engines running and then leaving the boat. They end with their guesses...2022-01-2633 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck S9 Ep12 Super Fan Rob BThis week's Super Fan Rob linked up with us on Twitter and he and Jen have had such a good time chatting about the show through DMs that they wanted to carry it over to the podcast. Also, Adrienne is finally on dry land and she popped in for a bit while she was driving home to say hello, share some of her recent experiences, and answer a question from Rob. 2022-01-2029 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck S9 Ep12 Thong Time No SeeWeather has Adrienne socked in down in the Bahamas, so international man of mystery Roy joins Jen again to break down the hodgepodge served in this week's episode. So many things went on that it was hard to stay focused, and the attention-deficit-level bouncing around also made it difficult to get too up or too down about anything. What Jen and Roy are sure of, is that Kaylee is way sweeter than expected and not the mini-me version of Heather worthy of nightmares they'd envisioned. 2022-01-1936 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck S9 Ep11 Heather IntolerantAdrienne is on charter and Tiffany is in transit, so Jen and her buddy Roy from the UK are doing a Super Fan Takeover of Gangplank Report. Charter guest Melissa may be lactose intolerant, but she, Fraser, and Captain Lee all had moments of being Heather Intolerant this week, and Roy and Jen don't blame them a bit. News of Heather's friend joining as a stew mid-charter heightens Fraser's insecurities and ruffles his feathers. Captain Lee is less than thrilled about being volunteered as an officiant of a vow renewal before being asked. And Melissa refused the rest of...2022-01-1235 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck S9 Ep 10 Puree All DayThis episode almost needed a bouncing ball to follow. Or more time stamps. Or fewer time stamps. Or something. There was a lot to process and Adrienne and Jen do their best to break it all down and give their honest takes. From Mouth Wired Shut to wishing their eyes had been shut, they cover it all...something Jake might want to consider doing. 2022-01-0537 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck S9 Ep9 Super Fan Conrad EmpsonWe're ending 2021 with an early Christmas gift for you. Conrad Empson, the bosun from Season 3 of Below Deck Mediterranean, visits Gangplank to share what the experience of being a cast member was like, what he wishes we had seen, and what he's been up to since. As they say in Jolly Ol'...he's a lovely chap, so you don't want to miss it!
Adrienne and Jen would like to thank all of you for your support in 2021 and we look forward to new adventures with you in 2022! 2021-12-2327 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck S9 Ep 8 Super Fan Gaby BarraganFair warning, Gang, this episode is way more raucous than our usual fare. Cocktails were flowing as we chatted with Super Fan and yachtie Gaby Barragan. Adrienne and Jen had so much fun hearing Gaby's perspective about real life yachting versus what she's been watching for years on Below Deck. It isn't just the ocean that's blue here, so is the content, so listen with earbuds or at least out of earshot of impressionable tykes.

There was a lot discuss and much of it surrounded Heather. If the title didn't give it away...we were less than pleased. We also wonder where the blame lies in the deck crew not functioning like a well-oiled machine when it's halfway through the season. 2021-12-1527 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck S9 Ep 7 Boobs CruiseWhile Adrienne is at sea doing her yacht chef magic, Captain Tiffany Copeland steps in to co-host with Jen and break down Episode 7. We're used to booze cruises at this point, but in celebration of the primary's one year anniversary of his victory over breast cancer, this charter becomes a Boobs Cruise. You'd think with a theme like that, everyone would be happy, but tempers are flaring all over the boat and the guests are getting eyefuls and earfuls of the eruptions. 2021-12-0824 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck S9 Ep 6 Super Fan Captain Tiffany CopelandWe get a mini-reunion of two Below Deck franchise alums when Captain Tiffany Copeland from Below Deck Mediterranean stops by. She and Adrienne were friends before Tiffany filmed her season and they share behind the scenes tidbits and discuss this season of Below Deck and more. Also Adrienne shares a personal story in the hope of ending the stigma of silence that surrounds a recent life event. 2021-12-0237 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck S9 Ep 6 Tramp OverboardWhen the wind is your main source of drama, things might be slowing down a bit, but it was kind of picturesque watching the trampoline escape its tethers and bounce happily across the ocean. Adrienne and Jen admit that they might have judged Ronnie and Jodi a little too quickly, but they're holding firm on their opinions about the interior cattiness. And Jake did what ever the next step is above embarrassment to himself and the boat.2021-12-0119 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck S9 Ep 5 Wherefore Art Thou RadioRadio, Oh Radio, Wherefore art Thou, Radio? Fraser breaks one of Captain Lee's biggest rules by losing his walkie, and Adrienne fills us in on what exactly that space was where he found it. With the holidays approaching Adrienne gets in the spirit of her favorite fictional holiday, and regales us with its most important tradition. Jen tries to figure out how Jessica wound up on everyone's naughty list, and we answer another listener question. For all of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, we wish you a happy and blessed one. 2021-11-2427 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck S9 Ep 3 Super Fan Rose ShannonHey, Gang!

Adrienne and Jen got the opportunity to interview writer Gina Ragusa from Showbiz Cheat Sheet and she had some great scoop and insight on this past season of Below Deck Med, as well as the family of series. She even served some piping hot tea from her recent interview with Jemele Hill on how the final charter went down. Be sure you don't miss this one!2021-10-2134 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S6 Ep 17 Time to SplitIt's the finale and let's just say, it didn't go out with a bang. Adrienne and Jen were both underwhelmed and decided to add reunion coverage for a little spice. Thank you so much for supporting Gangplank Report this Med season! Be sure to tune in on Wednesday starting next week for the return of Below Deck O.G.2021-10-1930 minGangplank ReportBDM S6 Ep15 Super CAPTAIN Interview with Sean MeagherWe've had to change the theme a little this week to bring you a very special interview. Gangplank is giving you a chance to get to know Super Captain Sean Meagher before he hits your screens on the premiere of Below Deck OG as the relief Captain on My Seanna. He steps in and mans the helm when Captain Lee's arrival is delayed. Captain Meagher shares some of his past adventures and what led up to him appearing on the upcoming season. We feel beyond fortunate to get the opportunity to introduce him to you. A quick wit with a...2021-10-0728 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S6 Ep 15 The Wheels Are Falling OffWith the interior down to two, you'd expect that it was them who were struggling, but that isn't the case. The fellas are experiencing the lack of focus that comes at the end of the season, and the team that had been going like gangbusters up to this point are now looking pretty green. David gets thrown in the chastisement mix, which doesn't sit well with him or with us. Lloyd experiences a medical emergency and the Captain thinks a hospital visit is in order. 2021-10-0529 minGangplank ReportBDM S6 Ep 14 Super Fan David Yontef ReturnsGangplank's first return guest is Super Fan and host of Behind the Velvet Rope podcast David Yontef. This season of Below Deck Med was just beginning, so we wanted to give David a chance to share whether his opinions had changed over the course of the season. He filled us in on that, some other Bravo prognostications, and we even ventured into the realm of American Horror Story. Don't miss out on this bonus-sized episode.2021-09-3043 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S6 Ep 14 Whine and Goat CheeseFight? What fight? Apparently the Captain and Bosun throw-down was easier to get over than a two-inch-high fence. Everything is almost immediately hunky dory between the two and we're left wondering if it was a practice run for an improv course. New guests arrive and it's time for a beach picnic with only two interior crew. That means the brunt of the work falls on the exterior, and the timing couldn't be worse considering David's injury. Swag Nasty turns into Swag Whiny without Lexi around to complain about, and Katie doesn't have the time to spare for him. 2021-09-2820 minGangplank ReportBDM S6 Ep 13 Melissa Pfeister Super Fan Interview Part 2If you missed Part 1 yesterday, be sure to check it out before listening because Part 2 picks up right where the first left off.

Well, THREE of them, of course. Adrienne and Jen chat it up with Super Fan and Side Piece podcast host Melissa Pfeister. There was so much to be said that we couldn't fit it all into one episode. Please enjoy Part 1 and be sure to check out Part 2 when it drops on Thursday. 2021-09-2223 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S6 Ep 13 Sympathy for the DevilAdrienne renamed this episode Sympathy for the Devil, but on a boat with a few to choose from you'll need to listen to find out where Gangplank's sympathies lie. One part of the show garnered a Hallelujah Chorus, and if you been following the show or even only the podcast, we're sure you're singing along in harmony. We also tackle the great 3rd stew debate and take a close look at how real the Captain and Bosun's throwdown came off. 2021-09-2127 minGangplank ReportBDM S6 Ep 12 Super Fans Haile and DanielleYou've been watching them enjoy the Med for the last couple of weeks, now hear Haile and Danielle answer some burning questions about Firemen, Mayoral races, and more. Co-primary Haile and Sumo stripper suit wearing Danielle give us the skinny on "all the things" that went down with "all of the people" aboard the Lady Michelle.2021-09-1622 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S6 Ep 12 WipeoutThere's more than one reason we changed the name of the episode to Wipeout. There were not only physical ones, but one in an attempt to take a relationship to the next step, and another perhaps season-ending one in the form of taking the low blows way too far. How could a trip to gorgeous waterfalls and great dining spots turn into such a nightmare? We've got at least two answers to that, and they're both names.

The debate about keeping Delaney still drags on, with Mat being firmly in the "No" column. Sandy's trust in Malia is wavering, but is it justified. Join us as we break it all down. 2021-09-0723 minGangplank ReportBDM S6 Ep 10 Lars and Tamara Super Fan InterviewWe have the perfect recipe to serve up this episode. A little sweet, a little salty, and all fun. Lars is Gangplank Report's first octogenarian Super Fan and his daughter Tamara is a yacht chef. We get their takes on the franchises in general and also get Tamara's perspective as a professional in the industry on this season's Below Deck Med Crew. Don't miss it! 2021-09-0221 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S6 Ep 10 This Chef Is On FireThis episode of Below Deck is jam packed. A new crew member arrives and she's stew-ISH. We lose a magical unicorn, and Chef Mat loses a few layers of skin from a burn. Lexi's up in arms about her demotion and being stuck on early shift with Mat for two charters in a row. David gets the most cringe Sumo Strip Show we've ever seen, and we're still trying to figure out why Katie is in such a rush to get Delaney off of the boat when to us, Lexi is clearly the problem child. 2021-08-3120 minGangplank ReportBDM S6 Ep9 Karen Borin Super Fan InterviewWhat started out as a fun interview about what it's like to be a Below Deck Super Fan and charter yachts without cameras, wound up turning into one of Gangplank's most impactful interviews to date. Our guest Karen Borin has strong charitable ties to Haiti and just before the episode was set to air, Haiti's President was assassinated. We put the episode on hold out of respect during that difficult time and wanted to touch base with Karen again for an update. More misfortune beset the island nation right before the follow up and Haiti was hit with a...2021-08-2632 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S6 Ep 9 Octoberfest SchmucktoberfestLexi is still doing less than most green stews and the guests are seeing it reflected in their service. Not good. But the deck crew and Mat are at the tops of their games and are making up for the interior's failings. Katie mulls over whether adding a fourth stew will help or hurt them as a team. And we find out ranks might hang in the balance. 2021-08-2419 minGangplank ReportBDM S6 Ep8 Nikki the No1GIFQueen Super Fan InterviewAdrienne was hunkered down in the Bahamas bracing for Tropical Storm Fred, so Jen's flying solo in this interview with Nikki, aka No1GIFQueen from Twitter. She shares her history watching the shows, the thoughts on all of the Captains, and some very candid opinions of the current crew. You don't want to miss it. 2021-08-1925 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S6 Ep 8 LexidaisicalEven with Tropical Storm Fred looming over her, Adrienne wasn't about to miss sharing her thoughts all the way from the Bahamas on this episode. Lexi has become, shall we say....lexidaisical about her duties and that leaves Katie pretty much running the entire service solo. Courtney has her hands full still learning drinks and redoing Lexi's mistakes. Meanwhile, the Captain apparently misses the siren song of micromanagement so she hones in on the slide. There's much more to the the episode, including a listener question from Amanda, and the ladies actually defend Mat for a change. 2021-08-1724 minGangplank ReportBDM S6 Ep7 Stephanie from Mocha Minutes Super Fan Part 2Hopefully you laughed along with us already in Part 1, now we dive deeper into the most recent episode. We had to come up for air several times, because Stephanie, host of Mocha Minutes Podcast had us gasping. Just like yesterday, this is uncensored, so listen accordingly. Make sure to follow Stephanie on IG and Twitter at @MochaMinutes. 2021-08-1223 minGangplank ReportBDM S6 Ep 7 Mocha Minutes Host Stephanie Super Fan Interview Part 1Club Bravo on the Clubhouse app is a goldmine of smart, funny fans, but none more so than this week's Super Fan Stephanie, host of the Mocha Minutes podcast. If you hate Jen's laugh, skip this one because Stephanie has both Jen and Adrienne cracking up. They didn't want to edit out a single word, sigh, or harumpf, so it's going to air in full as two parts. Gangplank also turned off the bleeper, so keep that in mind if you aren't listening with earbuds. Be sure to check out the conclusion tomorrow for more laughs. 2021-08-1123 minGangplank ReportBelow Deck Med S6 Ep 7 MacArthur ParkHow many chances can one chef get?

Roy Jr. gives us a lot of behind the scenes scoop, including a mind-blowing reveal about how long their "one night" charter really was.
