Deadliest Catch Season 8 Episode 6 Recap

"Vital Signs"

Finally I get to watch Deadliest Catch.

A teaser pre show. Captain Keith Colburn is in a room with the new greenhorn Chris Scambler is on the floor. Captain Keith says he needs a pulse and blood pressure immediately. He needs to call the Coast Guard. He asks Chris are you with me? How many fingers am I holding up? He holds up two fingers. Chris says four. It looks like they are in the fore peak and Chris is on the floor. Captain Keith says alright I'm calling the Coast Guard. He runs to the wheel house, picks up the mic takes several deep breaths and calls the Coast Guard.

For those of you who missed the post with the Coast Guard call in November, here it is again. Coast Guard Call

Andy Hillstrand Interview - Deadliest Catch - NPR

I just ran across this interview Andy Hillstrand did in August 2011, on NPR Radio. It had some stuff in it I hadn't heard before, so I thought I'd share it.

There is a transcript and an audio version. Pretty darn funny. It even talks about a prank I hadn't heard where Johnathan Hillstrand is turned into a smurf. LMAO
