00:00How does it feel to be back on Below Deck Med?
00:02Fantastic.
00:03Like, working for Captain Sandy.
00:05Like, seriously, gee.
00:06I actually look up to this woman so much in my career,
00:10and to be able to have the opportunity to work with her again
00:12is just by far a gift.
00:15And did you have any hesitations about another season,
00:18or was it full steam ahead?
00:19Full steam ahead.
00:20I have not stopped, even to this day.
00:22I've just jumped off a boat.
00:23Well, I've just been looking after her mom
00:25because she's just recovered from cancer.
00:27But I just work.
00:28Like, I'm just go, go, go.
00:30From the Mediterranean all the way to the Bahamas
00:32and then back to the Mediterranean, I'm just go constantly.
00:35For four years, I've actually not been off a boat.
00:38So every single month over these past four years,
00:41whether it's a different boat or not, I've been working.
00:43And I spoke to Captain Sandy yesterday,
00:44and she was thrilled by the progress you've made since last season.
00:48Was it important to you to prove yourself to her?
00:50Oh, so much.
00:51Like, bear in mind, last season with Nathan and Bree and Ellie,
00:55that was my second big boat ever.
00:57So I'm new into the industry.
01:00And then I got the position as lead deckhand.
01:02So that was a, you know, I've got to prove to myself
01:04that I'm able to do this job, not only on this boat,
01:07but for the foreseeable.
01:08And I've just been absolutely smashing it every single day,
01:11every month.
01:12I'm just learning.
01:13And I was really happy to see you and Nathan reunited.
01:16I've actually rewatched your first embrace several times.
01:20Nathan, yes, big dog.
01:23What was it like to see him again,
01:31and how long had it been since you two spoke?
01:33So in that moment in time, it was fantastic.
01:36Like I said last night, I was levitated from the floor,
01:38and our gas spun.
01:39I'm surprised I didn't get dizzy and fell over.
01:41It was a fantastic moment.
01:44And throughout the season, you see, like,
01:46the friendship is good, and the banter is,
01:50it's just crazy.
01:51It's a mad season.
01:53And this season marks Nathan's first one as a bosun.
01:56How did you support him through this step in his career?
01:59So being a bosun is very hard.
02:02Like, it's not only the level of work and the manual labor.
02:05You've got to be organized.
02:07You've got to be on point.
02:08You've got to be in it to win it.
02:10Now, if you haven't got that, you're going to do a bad job.
02:12Like, I've been a bosun,
02:13and I was a bosun before I just joined with Nathan.
02:16So I'm near to support him, regardless of any position,
02:19regardless of anything, even a friendship.
02:21I just want to support another man's job.
02:23Well, I'm really hopeful that you and Max
02:25are going to get along this season.
02:27What can you tease about your dynamic?
02:29The dynamic between me and Max
02:30is something, is definitely something.
02:34And you've got to watch it
02:35because he's my new best French mate.
02:38And what were your first impressions of him?
02:40I love everyone until they need to prove me otherwise.
02:44So my first impression is he's absolutely batshit crazy.
02:46Oh, pardon me, language.
02:48He's off his nut, and he's so unpredictable.
02:52Like, you don't know his next move,
02:53and that's what I love about him.
02:54Like, he's just like this floating ADHD person.
02:57It was me.
02:59And we just got along like a house on fire.
03:01Speaking to someone else who was happy to see you,
03:03Aisha was thrilled.
03:08What makes her such an excellent leader and crew member?
03:12So Aisha, my dear friend, she's amazing.
03:15Like, the reason why she's such a good leader
03:17is because she actually listens.
03:19And she's able to communicate on a level
03:21that's not only that she's going to guide you in the right way,
03:25but she will listen and say this.
03:27She doesn't beat around the bush.
03:28She tells you how it is,
03:30and that's what you've got to do to be a leader,
03:31especially in her position.
03:33Like, she's chief stewardess.
03:34Again, that's not an easy job.
03:35You're the second-hand from captain,
03:38from seven-star service.
03:41She's just amazing.
03:42I look up to that woman so much.
03:43They say history is doomed to repeat itself,
03:46and I fear there may be another love triangle
03:49brewing with you and the two stews.
03:52When did you first know you were going to be in trouble?
03:53From the moment my toe stepped on board.
03:58Like, even before I even stepped, I was like, uh-oh.
04:00Joe.
04:00I'm V.
04:01What was your name?
04:03V.
04:03V.
04:04Dang, they finally brought someone on board.
04:06He was really handsome.
04:07Like, she is stunning.
04:09Man.
04:09I'm Joe.
04:10You've come to save the day.
04:11I am.
04:12I'm Joe.
04:12There's two kids.
04:13I'm in Spain, eh?
04:14Oh, God.
04:15She's gorgeous as well.
04:16I'm in trouble.
04:18There's going to be a bit of trouble, I suppose.
04:20Well, can I ask what first drew you to Kizzy?
04:23What first drew me to Kizzy is because we're British.
04:29We've got a level of banter that we understand between us.
04:32Like, Josh understands the banter.
04:33Nathan, it's this British, weird humour that we've got.
04:37And she's just completely outrageous.
04:40Like, she will just, like...
04:42She's not...
04:43I'm not going to say the girl version of me,
04:45but she's just ready for anything.
04:48Down, dirty, just whatever.
04:50Like, she's fun, but, you know,
04:51she had a partner and stuff like that,
04:53so I wanted to respect her.
04:56She's mad.
04:57She's mad.
04:57Watch the season,
04:58because this is only the beginning.
05:01And what first drew you to V?
05:03Victoria.
05:04She's got, like, that lion's mane.
05:07I love that.
05:08Like, she's absolutely drop-dead gorgeous for once.
05:10She's a very kind, very innocent person.
05:12And we all love Victoria.
05:14She's a very good friend of mine, actually.
05:16Obviously, we've got a lot of season left to go.
05:20What can you tease about the dynamic between yourself, Kizzy, and Victoria?
05:24So, let me just say, it's unapologetically chaotic.
05:31And that's my stance on it.
05:33I do want to ask you about Gail's visit to see Nathan this season when they were on a break.
05:37You know, I know you can't say much, but was he nervous or happy when she was coming to see him?
05:43See, Nathan has got a really strong bond with Gail, and it's beautiful to see.
05:48So, my take on that is, he's obviously nervous.
05:51He loves this woman.
05:52And how did you feel to see her?
05:55Good.
05:56Like, you know, me and Gail, we don't really get along, and so be it.
05:59Actually, touching on this is, I really loved, and it opened my eyes,
06:03what Aisha said on Watch What Happens Live at an interview with Victoria.
06:07She said on the lines of, like, it's okay for people not to be friends
06:11because it's statistically impossible to all our personalities to align.
06:15You don't need to be friends with everyone.
06:17It's, like, statistically impossible that all of our personalities are going to like each other.
06:23If you can address that and just put it at peace,
06:25and then you can both agree to just be at peace and move on,
06:28I think it's a really healthy, beautiful thing to do.
06:31To Fiona, it opened my eyes.
06:32It's okay that me and Gail are not friends.
06:34It's just how it is.
06:35It's such is life.
06:36But let me tell you this.
06:38Sat here before you today, would I like to make amends?
06:40Of course I would.
06:41I don't want any ties or any weight on my shoulders.
06:43If there's any melodramatics or any animosity,
06:47I'm going to just throw that in the bin and start from Fred.
06:49I watched you on Watch What Happens last night
06:51when Captain Sandy revealed that she is not a huge fan of your eyebrows,
06:56which you took with a lot of grace, I thought.
06:58Sandy, what do we think about Joe's eyebrows?
07:02I'm sorry.
07:03No.
07:04Sandy is not into them.
07:06No.
07:07Do you think he should prune them a bit?
07:09I love Joe.
07:10Should he prune his eyebrows?
07:11A little bit.
07:13Did that feedback take you by surprise?
07:15You know what?
07:17I adore and love this woman.
07:19And then she has the audacity to have a comment about my eyebrows.
07:23Okay, I might have a bit of lower back pain because of the weight of them
07:25and I'm walking with a bit of a stance,
07:27but my granddad, he was 85% eyebrow.
07:32And I've got to live up to that standard.
07:34Like these little things, well, these slugs,
07:36you know, they're part of my face and my personality, I suppose.
07:40And is that the first time you've gotten that feedback from a woman?
07:44No, it happens daily.
07:46Everyone just comes into my eyebrows.
07:48It's like a laughingstock.
07:50Oh, look at Joe and his eyebrows.
07:52I also don't know if you realize,
07:54but during one of your previous appearances on Watch What Happens,
07:57you outed Southern Hospitality's Joe Bradley
08:00and Maddie Reese's relationship to the world.
08:03Have you met the other Joe Bradley?
08:05I have met the other Joe Bradley.
08:06Oh, really?
08:06What a guy.
08:07Randomly, or you DM'd and hooked it up?
08:10So his girlfriend was DJing in like this venue in Miami.
08:14Did you have any idea what you did?
08:17Afterwards, yes.
08:18I was cringing in my bedroom.
08:21I even had a word with my mom.
08:22I went, Mom, I'll f*** you up.
08:25She goes, why, what's going on?
08:26I went, the American Joe Bradley's upset with me
08:28because I've just released the fact that she's got a relationship.
08:32And so it's like, oh, don't worry about it.
08:33It's not that deep.
08:34Two days later, there was a news article.
08:37Four days later, Joe messaged me saying, what are you doing, man?
08:40I was like, oh, no, I'm so sorry.
08:42I was just having a good time in Miami.
08:43I didn't realize that you were hired in a relationship.
08:45But we're over it now.
08:47That's right.
08:47Have you spoken to him and Maddie since?
08:49Yeah, yeah.
08:50Like me and Joe, we speak all the time.
08:51We send memes to each other.
08:52We send voice notes.
08:54Like I'm in America now,
08:55but I haven't got the time to travel over to Charleston.
08:58But we're always in contact.
09:00Actually, shout out to the American Joe Bradley.
09:02Love you, Mom.
