Discovery: Welcome to this week's Deadliest Catch chat. Our guest is Matt Bradley, a deckhand aboard the Northwestern, working alongside Sig, Edgar and Norman Hansen. This season, we learn a bit about Matt's past, which threatens to catch up with him out on the Bering. Ask Matt about life as a deckhand aboard the Northwestern.
Matt: I'm happy to be here and answer your questions!
Amecin: So, were you afraid to tell Sig about your court date?
Matt: Yeah, I was a little afraid to tell him. I was hoping it would be done, and I could let him know where I was going to be for the next month if I made the court date. It's part of my past being cleaned up. The court date went pretty well. I made it in time.
Boiledcrabs: Sig looked like he was really mad. Did he have more to say when the cameras weren't rolling?
Matt: Yeah, I got a good ass-chewing! It was "Why do you always do this to me?" And I explained to Sig, "With any luck, bro, this will be the last time I ever have to come to you with this." He burned on that for a day or two. We'll leave it at that
Alp79a: So did you end up making it back in time for your court date??
Matt: Yes I did.
Ryan: Who is your favorite brother?
Matt: (laughing) Hey, this is my brother Ryan! I guess it would have to be you, Ry!
Fiorghra: Dear Matt, my husband and I really enjoy watching the show, and we pray for all of you fisherman often. I just wanted to say that I think it is wonderful that you are open about the personal problems you've had and that you are working to solve in your life. May God bless you with the strength and stamina you need to make that new life for yourself!
Matt: Thanks for your prayers. My life is an open book, I guess. I'm proud of where I'm at today.
