Maybe its Brent who should be bosun!
Lee has his own kids, he says, he doesnt want to make that call.
Because what else would they discuss, Tory Burch?
The foods of the lower class to which they do not belong?
And so he sets about using a tiny squeeze-bottle to adorn his flank steak with some jazzy sauce-squirts.

He accuses Rhylee of being barely audible when she called man overboard into the radio.
He tears up again.
