Somewhere on the world’s most violent and dangerous ocean, brave men fight for their lives while pulling a bounty of red gold out of the icy cold water. They’re crab fisherman and holy hell are they cool.

In our third Guilty Pleasure episode, Alex exposes us to one of his favorite shows, Deadliest Catch. It’s the finest example of the genre “Reality TV about people working hard that you can watch while you’re sitting at home wearing slippers.” Alex loves it, and everybody else… thinks it’s fine.

Alex takes the roll of Clairezra and explains it all, including why he likes the show, which captains are the best, and why he always roots for the crab. He also answers your excellent questions in our last Host Chat. And he is really, really excited to be talking about this.
