Did Joe Bradley Go to Ireland? No — Find Out Why: “Would’ve Been Nice To Know…”
Joe Bradley and Nathan Gallagher explained why their Ireland reunion didn't happen during the Below Deck Mediterranean After Show.
During Season 9 of Below Deck Mediterranean, a drunken back-of-taxi conversation turned into a plan for Joe Bradley to visit his buddy Nathan Gallagher in Dublin, but it turns out that the trip didn't exactly pan out.
Why? As Nathan revealed on the Sept. 23 episode of the Below Deck Mediterranean After Show, "Me and Gael [Cameron] traveled, like, for six weeks together after that."
Or, as Joe put it, "Gael didn't let him go." (Gael, for her part, claimed that Nathan "didn't want Joe to come.")
Regardless, Joe didn't forego his travel plans until the very last minute. "It was the day before, I sent [Nathan] a voice message, didn't hear back from him. I was like, 'Okay ... it's not happening.' Didn't hurt me; I had stuff to do anyway, you know what I mean?" Joe recalled. "But it would've been nice to know."
Joe then turned to Nathan and noted, "You could've said, 'Joe, it's not happening.' Because I didn't know [about Gael] until the day after the flight."
"Aye, but you weren't coming anyway," replied Nathan.
The two proceeded to go back and forth for a bit, but Joe ultimately insisted that his feelings weren't hurt.
What Nathan Gallagher and Joe Bradley are up to after Season 9 of Below Deck Med
Today, the two remain as close as they were onboard during Season 9. As Joe told The Daily Dish in July, "He's my best mate for life."
Joe and Nathan have kept in touch with their fellow crew members, too. (As far as their love lives go, see what ended up happening between Gael and Nathan, as well as what went down between Joe and Ellie Dubaich post-filming).
Work-wise, Joe told The Daily Dish that he's seeking a lead deckhand role, while Nathan has been working as an engineer. More specifically, he said in July, "I’m working offshore on vessels just as a solar engineer."
