In an interview with Us Weekly, Captain Kerry explains that he originally became friendly with the iconic Captain Lee through an annual golf tournament. The duo was paired together in the years prior to "Below Deck," so when Kerry was given the opportunity to headline his own rendition of the show, known as "Below Deck Adventure," he approached the franchise's headliner for advice.

"I rang Lee and just to say, 'Hey man, you know, if you were going to do this again, would you do it? Because I was on the edge," Caption Kerry shared with Us Weekly. "He's like, 'No, I'd definitely do it,' and I said, 'What's your best, what advice you got for me?' He says, 'Be yourself. Be that same guy I was playing golf with."

Titheradge also went on to mention that he asked about managing social media, explaining that while others had suggested he hire someone to run his accounts, Captain Lee insisted that was the wrong move. "I said, 'I heard I should get someone to do it, so I don't get caught up in it.' He goes, 'No, do your own social media. Don't let anyone do that,'" Captain Kerry recalled.
