'Deadliest Catch': Captain Phil's must-hear 'fart bubbles' theory

Season 5 of Discovery's Deadliest Catch has made me more tense than a shower scene on Oz. I needed a moment of levity last night. The Time Bandit hitting another "crabalanche" while working the plentiful secret family fishing ground known as "the Butt Cheeks" was nice, as was narrator Mike Rowe's announcement that Captain Sig had quit smoking for all of 3.5 hours. But it was really Captain Phil who came through with his "fart bubbles" theory. Crabs are "fartin' little machines," he said. "We can find those fart bubbles, we got it made. You watch, if there's fart bubbles, there's crabs." Enjoy the clip below.

    His own son thought he was full of it, but the theory did seem to work. As a former smoker, I did wonder how Sig (his name even sounds like Cig!) thought he was going to quit smoking in that environment. I would have been blown away if he had managed to get through the whole day.

    I thought Phil was full of myself. I was hoping Sig would make it the whole day but I knew two things. They were that the crew would be facing and extremely long day with Sig being how shall we say cranky and two I had a feeling he was going back to smoking after a little bit

    I was rolling in the floor when he started going about crab farts. Love these guys!

    think the Wizard and Keith were way out of line dropping on top of your gear. “Don’t like the comment he made about you either. He’s the knucklehead.

    Every fisherman has a yarn. This one was better than most IMO. Thanks for the yuks, Phil. :D

    I’ve beentotally addicted to this show since the get-go. I dread the day when it will become too politically incorrect to air it anymore, given that it profiles people who make a living of catching critters that will be eaten by other people.
