[00:00:04] Speaker A: Somewhere over my. Hey, what do you think of boats? Are you afraid of boats? You ever get sick on a boat? [00:00:13] Speaker B: No. I'm very lucky. I am. I am the girl who is on a catamaran sailing to Anegada, which is far away from any other British Virgin island. [00:00:25] Speaker A: Who. [00:00:25] Speaker B: Who is like, we're in big fucking swells. Who's shaking cocktails while everybody's puking over the sun? [00:00:31] Speaker A: Wow. Good on you. [00:00:32] Speaker B: Yeah, I got good sea legs. I was raking in fish. Deep sea fishing off of Miami with my dad for his 70th. And he's inside cause he's not feeling so well and I'm fucking raking in a big. What was it? A kingfisher? No, a big. No, not a marlin. Anyway, I pulled in a big fucking fish. [00:00:53] Speaker A: Right. [00:00:53] Speaker B: And where were you? Off of Miami. [00:00:56] Speaker A: Off of Miami. Your bros place? Broski had any. Well, you just mentioned the one catamaran. People puking. Any other seasick scenes? [00:01:10] Speaker B: Yeah, we were going to dive the Blue Hole down in Belize. [00:01:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:01:15] Speaker B: And everybody was vomiting as we were heading towards there or afterwards. And I was just hanging out, having. Having some punch, living my best life, eating the fresh ceviche that they just. [00:01:29] Speaker A: Made with the fish. So they were out? Yeah. [00:01:31] Speaker B: After we'd been diving. [00:01:33] Speaker A: Isn't it great when they make the ceviche right on the boat? [00:01:35] Speaker B: Oh my God, they did the best. [00:01:38] Speaker A: When you mentioned the Virgin Islands, I was in BVI and actually did a. Had a mini puke. You did? Yeah, just like a soda. [00:01:47] Speaker B: You're not a. You're puker? [00:01:48] Speaker A: No, not at all. I've done have twice in my life. [00:01:50] Speaker B: Got really sea legs. [00:01:52] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:01:53] Speaker B: Okay. Sorry, I'm distracting from your story. [00:01:54] Speaker A: No, it's okay. I. I do remember crossing the English Channel. I was going to school in. In England for a summer. And at the end of this, the semester, whatever the hell you call it. Summer school. [00:02:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:05] Speaker A: I went with this buddy across channel and this I remember. I'll never forget my first experience with it. This French lady was just puking her guts out over the side. And I've only puked twice. Once was hungover as hell. One man band with a camera for TV in Florida. And there was a shark fishing tournament off Sarasota. [00:02:30] Speaker B: Jesus. [00:02:30] Speaker A: And we had to ride out with these boats. [00:02:32] Speaker B: Illegal to fish. Shark. [00:02:33] Speaker A: It was a thing like a special one day. Like it was just. I think it was catch and release. It was like a contest. And no, sharks didn't catch. Nobody caught anything. The weather was really rough. I was hungover. I think I had like a root beer for breakfast. Okay. And I. I like went to the other end of the boat and just. Basically just spit up that root beer. And then was like, okay, good. And then went back and then bvi, same little thing. I had like a. I was on a wicked catamaran, just three of us, and that thing was just rocking and rolling. And I went over and just. Blip. Got rid of the little soda I had. That was fine. Yeah. It's strange, isn't it? Yeah. [00:03:20] Speaker B: How do you get. How do you get, I think, sea legs. You've either got them or you don't. [00:03:25] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:03:26] Speaker B: Like, have you witnessed people on boats? [00:03:27] Speaker A: Like, I'm around. I'm on boats almost every day here and I. [00:03:31] Speaker B: Do you witness people now? They're too big of boats to be hurling, right? [00:03:35] Speaker A: Oh, no, I don't think so. Because the English Channel boat was a pretty good sized ferry. And that lady was puking. I remember the weather being that horrible that day. [00:03:43] Speaker B: I don't think. I think you either got it or you don't. Yeah, I remember. I will never forget. Ferry from, oh, from Ireland to France. [00:03:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:55] Speaker B: I think seven or eight hours. And Fearnin was serving me the Guinness and I. It was pretty rock and roll. And I must have had, oh, eight to ten Guinnesses. [00:04:10] Speaker A: Holy woman. [00:04:11] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:04:11] Speaker A: It's fearing in the bartender or your buddy. [00:04:13] Speaker B: Nope. Was my bartender who wanted to marry me. I think I was 22. [00:04:17] Speaker A: You were 22. [00:04:20] Speaker B: But I can't believe, like, I didn't fall over. But I remember kind of walking sideways and somebody looked at me went, wow, you're doing really well. I'm like, I think I got really good sea legs. [00:04:31] Speaker A: So you didn't get sick? [00:04:32] Speaker B: Nope. [00:04:33] Speaker A: That's fabulous. After seven or eight Guinness. [00:04:36] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:36] Speaker A: But then again, Guinness is like medicine. [00:04:38] Speaker B: It is medicine. Yeah. What else do you want to say about boats? It feels like we kind of didn't really. [00:04:44] Speaker A: Well, seasick stuff. But. Well, we always talk about boat. How cool boats are. [00:04:48] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Yes. [00:04:49] Speaker A: But apparently people get seasick. Seasick. It's like the worst thing ever. [00:04:53] Speaker B: I've heard. [00:04:54] Speaker A: It's just freaking. [00:04:54] Speaker B: The people that I've witnessed. [00:04:56] Speaker A: Horrible. [00:04:56] Speaker B: Yeah. It's not. You can't get over it. So there you go. You either have seasickness or you don't. You either have sea legs or you don't. Is that our lesson of the day?
