Sometimes 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…

The question of the week...what did Fraser do to warrant the venom and the title of worst chief stew ever? Has Captain Sandy already forgotten she just filmed with Natasha? Kathy and Jen try to unearth the logic Captain Sandy is using to come to her conclusions. The ladies also discuss what might be behind Captain Sandy having Ross as a witness wit…
  continue reading
 
Anyone who thought the drama left the boat when Camille did was way off base. Somehow despite there still being a crew member of questionable abilities on board, Fraser is the one who winds up in Captain Sandy's crosshairs. Jen is feeling shades of Med season five and Kathy thinks Captain Sandy has some valid points, but can't get behind her delive…
  continue reading
 
On 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.…
  continue reading
 
We weren't punked after all! Camille is finally gone, but she did not go quietly. There were some boss moves made by Captain Sandy, and a couple that gave us shades of yore, but none that deserved the tweets directed at her Monday night in Jen's opinion. Bad behavior continues on Mercury, and it gets so far out of hand that Captain Kerry has to pla…

On 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 …
  continue reading
 
First 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…

First 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.…

This 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 …

Not 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 deckh…

Double 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 Yacht…

Get 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, th…

Most 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 tr…
  continue reading
 
We 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 …
  continue reading
 
The Adventure continues! As does Kyle's attitude toward Nathan, and for good measure he throws in some unwanted flirtation Kasie's way. We get to witness the guests go caving and it brings a whole new feel to the BD franchise. Another plus comes via Captain Kerry and a supportive conversation he has that draws a hard line when it comes to his crew …

It's the penultimate episode of this season of Below Deck Med. We're introduced to the last set of charter guests, a new stew, and there's even sunken treasure involved. Plus Dave is on the giving and receiving ends of the Crepes of Wrath. Also, don't forget, the Below Deck Adventure recaps are dropping on Thursday each week. Hope you'll check them…

We'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 @Gangplank…

We are so excited about the launch of Below Deck Adventure Series and even more so to give you the opportunity to get to know Captain Kerry. He shared with us how he got into the industry, how his captaining style has changed over the years, and also what won't float if you're crewing for him. Don't forget to check out Below Deck Adventure every Tu…

We'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…
  continue reading
 
Home 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…

The 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 k…
  continue reading
 
This 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…
  continue reading
 
What 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 mys…

Pardon 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.…
  continue reading
 
This week's Super Fan Kim C has been a fan of Below Deck since the very beginning. 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. …

Welcome to MARTYRDOME! Two crew members enter, one yachtie leaves...maybe. Natasha and Jason battle it out for who's the bigger martyr on M/Y Home. It's another cliffhanger episode, and while it may not be drama-filled, the ladies at least have some new topics to discuss. Like whether Storm's impromptu watch re-gifting is as intimidating as Natalya…
  continue reading
 
This week's Super Fan Rob has been a loyal friend to Gangplank since his first appearance. Every week he and Jen break down the show in DMs, and he's given some interesting perspectives that have helped change Jen's mind on a few things. He definitely represents all that Twitter should be, when you can disagree and still have fun analyzing the show…

Work ethic seems to be slacking in the case of several crew members. Maybe it's mid-season malaise, but there's no excuse for leaving the heavy lifting for one crew member. Captain Sandy is seeing it and making it clear that she does. Somehow that isn't enough incentive to get Natasha and Kyle to follow through. Will a trip to the bridge change Tas…
  continue reading
 
It 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 …
  continue reading
 
After 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 C…
  continue reading
 
When 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 cracki…

Jen'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 D…
  continue reading
 
Forget the wine pairing, the ladies just need a chance to w-h-i-n-e at this point. 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 forget…
  continue reading
 
A Date With Dateline's Kimberly is on a date with Gangplank this week! We don't think it qualifies as cheating though, since her co-host Katie knows about it. Either way, we're just happy to have her step out of her true crime world and join our yachting one for a chat. Who, if anyone, does she think might be waving Dateline-esque red flags on Med …
  continue reading
 
First messages aren't getting through when Storm is calling out distances. Next Kyle and Natalya have a tiff over a communication breakdown. Then on the night out, Storm and Natalya's signals get crossed and we go from cute date to a bit irate. And lastly, the ladies can't figure out the signals between Dave and Natasha whatsoever. The only thing t…

Adrienne 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 we…
  continue reading
 
Courtney is back, y'all! Just in time to bring a little twerk to the season. On the opposite end of the joy spectrum, we witness Natasha suddenly become capable of finding time to text as long as it's with her ex and not Dave. Her absences leave Kyle serving while in pain, Nat decorating her butt off, and even Coco having to trade in her new deck d…

This 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 s…
  continue reading
 
Do you remember all of the things you ranted about after a night of drowning your heartache in beer? No? Well, you're not alone. Dave really wrecked himself and there's aftermath that the ladies break down. Also we say "addio" to our distances-challenged bosun, but with her departure comes a chance at advancement for one our favorites on the crew. …

Fair warning. Alcohol was being consumed by one contributor. A few swears were flying from another. And the third contributor sat back and reveled in the spectacle of it all while laughing heartily. Regardless, it is ALWAYS a fun time when Stephanie Williams from Mocha Minutes Podcast visits and gives us her uncensored and hilarious takes. She said…
  continue reading
 
Call us fickle, but we're already pretty much over Dave and Natasha and are setting our entertainment hopes on Natalya and Storm. Captain Sandy's "I don't hit things," turned into, "That can never happen again." But did you notice what we didn't see and should have according to the trailer? What we do see that we should, is the dismissal of Raygan …

Lt. Col. (ret.) Buzz Patterson is used to the spotlight with over 20 years as an Air Force Pilot and his stint in The White House as the carrier of the nuclear football. On this episode he gets to share it with his stunning bride of 25 years Nichole, who gets our Gangplank medal for bringing him into the Below Deck fold. We discuss cast and Captain…

Bravo 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 a…

We're giving you an extra treat this week with a quick chat with Twanna, one of the charter guests on episodes 1 and 2 this season. She shares a little about the trip and her impressions overall.
