• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Where's that theme? There it is.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Sanctuary and welcome to Making the Merge
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: where we are always fair and balanced. I'm joined by
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Chase on this episode and Justin and Jax are here.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Yay! J and J are back, baby.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: That's right. Today we're writing open letters to the castaways. Chase,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: still unclear on what an open letter is, but we're
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: going to go first. I'm such an airhead. Yeah, you
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: know what? And I'm an edgelord, and that's why I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: brought it up.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: And Jax is fair, and I'm balanced.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Yes. Well, what are you, Justin?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Balanced.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Just balanced.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Jax is fair. I think Petey thought that you said
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: that Jax was fair and unbalanced.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: That's also true.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: That's why I have to be balanced.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Makes sense. Can we talk about something that you brought
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to our attention in the group chat, Justin?
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Obviously.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Actually, if you could read it for us, because I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: think you know what I'm talking about, right? It was
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a comment that was made on Jeff's field notes.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I am a bit concerned that if you read, oh
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: my God, sorry, I.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: Just saw something else. I went to a thing yesterday
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: and it popped up. Sorry, I need to focus up.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Get it together, Justin.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Get it together, Justin.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I need you to be balanced.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I'm back to Pinkfair. So I'm afraid this is a
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: bit of a spoiler. Maybe. Maybe.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe. She's the one who said it publicly, so it's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: on her if it is.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: We were going through the field notes, comments, as one
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: is wont to do, and... W.V.Maggie, a.k.a. Maggie from Survivor,
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: commented on Jeff's field notes. Wow, dot, dot, dot, interesting, dot, dot, dot.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Field notes, colon.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: Two pages dedicated to Lewis and his blood ring, dot, dot, dot,
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: question mark, thinking emoji. Hero shot of Brady, vomit emoji.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: No one else mentioned, dot, dot, dot, question mark, tribal two, colon.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Kilby and Lewis made a big move, heart emoji.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Seems like you missed.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Something, dot, dot, dot, question mark, thinking emoji, eyes emoji,
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: spicy lady dancing emoji.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Is that the name of that emoji?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Yes. That's her Christian name. Yes.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Spicy lady.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man. It comes across like someone who didn't win
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: a million dollars.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Which is devastating.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: But we'll get to that in a little bit because
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: my letter, a little teaser, I might have chosen Maggie.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: I'd be disappointed if you didn't or, or guys, let's
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: think about it like this.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: It could also be, she does win, but Jeff, even
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: after all that, cause we know he doesn't even respect
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: the women winners as much. He still doesn't give her
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: the respect she deserves. And she's even better about that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: What do y'all think?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Well, Chase, what do you think? You seem to have
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: some opinions.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Look, I do think that there is a possibility that
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: she won a million dollars, but she didn't have a
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: good experience, and so she's just being however she wants. Because,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, when you win, fuck you money. You can
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: say fuck you things.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: When you get that much money, you don't care about
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: little things, about your perception.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I do think that is the case.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: I do fear, though, that it's probably not fuck you money.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: Because this is a woman, following her on Instagram has
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: been such a delight. This is a woman who is, like,
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: learning sign language. People that are learning sign language don't have, like,
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: the term fuck you money in their head.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Well, I can sign it for you if you like.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Actually, I would love that.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's fingerspelling over here, boys and girls.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I see you.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I see you.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Do you know sign language, Chase?
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: I took three semesters of it in college. Couldn't do
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: anything other than the alphabet.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: That's still impressive.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Chase just wrote, I also hate the women winners, just
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: like Jeff.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I did it in sign language so nobody
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: could hear me.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Chase, is that what you actually said?
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: No.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: No, I spelled fucking money.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: But I'll start.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you start.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I'll start in the background just doing the Chase thing.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: hates everybody thing.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah oh yeah like from the live show
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: chase hates women yeah.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah that was oh man can't wait to do it again.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I can't either but there's one more thing about that
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: maggie comment and i think it's the the puke emoji
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: after brady i'm like that feud must not get resolved.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah or it could be just because she doesn't like
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: his personality in general.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Or they're all having fun together.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: This is what happens. Like, Harv does this all the time.
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: And then she, like, texts people and she's like, wait,
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: are we cool? We're kind of just doing this for fun, right? Like,
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: I think, I don't know, guys.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You know how many times Chase has done that to
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: me after a podcast? Yeah, I feel bad a lot.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I can't help it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: You actually are such a sweetheart.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: I'll spend a straight hour just dogging PD and then
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: afterwards be like, hey, we're still friends, right?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. There's going to be a day. There's going to be.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: A day where the message isn't what you want.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: There's going to be a day where I just quit.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: You know what? I want to get into these letters,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and I actually recorded mine, the first one I have, pre-recorded.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to play this now. It's a little long.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Dearest Maggie and Kelly, I write because of a need
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: to express an array of nuanced feelings that I have
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: towards the both of you. I'll start with Maggie. Maggie,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I said many times that I hated you.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: And that was unfair.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: You could have taken the easy way out last Wednesday,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: but you looked at the situation and crafted an insane
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: plan to maximize chaos and potentially grab power for yourself.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I do commend you for that. And from your Instagram,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you seem like a nice lady. So now I'd like
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: to address Kilby, the big bad booty daddy.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: You were given an opportunity, and many players in your
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: position wouldn't have wanted to rock the boat. But you
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: rocked the shit out of that boat. And it made
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: for a tribal council that we'll never forget. And you've
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: commented on our YouTube videos. So at the end of
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the day, I like you. You know, to Maggie... and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: kill me both. I genuinely want to say, that's how
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you do it on Survivor. However, I am not an
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: objective viewer of Survivor. And the direct result of your
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: actions put my team in a bad position. So Maggie,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: while what you did was good for TV, you making
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: my star player Linnea the target was a mistake.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Fuck you.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And why was it a mistake? It was a mistake
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: because I declare vengeance on you and Kilby. I don't
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: think that was dramatic enough. I'm going to grab my guitar.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Maggie and Kilby, I declare vengeance on.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: You.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: That was it.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: What the fuck is wrong with you?
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Just processing my emotions and letting Maggie and Kilby know
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I declare vengeance on them.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Oh my God.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So their games aren't going to end well.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: My favorite part was when you tried so hard, but
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: you couldn't, you broke character. You couldn't help it.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Like when I laughed after I said.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Fuck you. Yeah, because you could have edited that out,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: but you didn't, and I appreciate that.
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: I'm going to change my ringtone from strawberry shortcake to
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: that last, what is it called?
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Screamo? What is it called? I enjoy it.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Some people call it that.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: What do you call it, Petey?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I call it screaming.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay. Hey, every time you said me, you doing that,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: It never sounds like you. I still have a disbelief
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: that it's actually you doing it.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Well, it's me with a little distortion and a little reverb.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: Is that multiple times a week that he's doing that?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I basically do it every day. Just by myself, not recorded.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to figure out how to access that voice.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Like... It's crazy. It's crazy.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: You go like, and then you try. I don't know.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: It's hard to explain.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Hey, real quick.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Real quick.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Petey, did your fire alarm or smoke detector just beep?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Did it?
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know. There's no batteries in mine.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Do you have a carbon monoxide detector, too?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I think I'll just smell it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: You can smell carbon monoxide.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Oh. well.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: It's odorless and colorless.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Yo, I've been thinking about this.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I'm going to get you set up.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: It's wild that you brought that up. I was like,
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: I need to get one of those because I was
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: watching this Reddit stories video and they were talking about it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, the person with the sticky notes? Yeah. Yes, you've
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: seen that? Yeah, I read that when it dropped, I think. Dang,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: when it dropped, dude?
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Dang, you're an OG sticky note gas leak guy. I
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: was like, yo, I could be being delusional and not
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: even know it. Maybe all of life's problems are because
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: there's carbon monoxide in my house.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Justin, do you know about this?
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: The person who had carbon monoxide in their work sending themselves,
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: they were sticking notes.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: All around as like messages to themselves. Is that right, PD?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, Justin in the background of his video has a
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: bunch of sticky notes on the wall.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Hey, man, you might want to get a carbon monoxide detector.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Fine.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: PD wasn't even trying to scream in that song. It's
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: just the carbon monoxide is affecting his voice like helium.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have no memory of recording that.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: I'll go next with my letter.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: My letter is to every Survivor contestant ever.
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Dear Survivor contestant. I don't have background music. You did
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: such a fun thing with the music. I really feel.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: We still support you, too.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Honestly.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe there's something. No, this is Riverside. Riverside sucks. Never mind.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: No, no, it's okay. I got it. I got it.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Dear every Survivor player ever, please, for the love of God,
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: stop posting things on social media that reveals whether or
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: not you won or lost this season.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Is this about Maggie?
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Well, you can bring... Oh, sorry. I gotta stay in there.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Sorry, my bad.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: No, you're good, you're good. Maggie, this does pertain to you. Although,
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: maybe your comment was just fuck you money. In which case,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: that's baller. But also, my mind takes me back to Kenzie.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: who said at the beginning of the season that if
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: she won the million dollars, her and her husband would
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: start a family and then proceeded to be pregnant the
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: entire duration of the season airing. My mind wanders to
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Riz God, who was making TikToks in a very tiny
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: apartment after playing back-to-back seasons of Survivor. My mind wanders...
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: to someone who didn't spoil the season for the fans
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: by purposely not posting on social media, Kyle, who injured
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: himself and made sure to not let anyone realize that
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: he was in a leg brace. My mind wanders to
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: every season when, without fail, someone reveals on Instagram or
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Cameo or TikTok that they clearly did not win a
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: million dollars. My mind wanders to Savannah, who was traveling
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: all over the world as season 50 was airing, or
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: 49 was airing. This is going to be hard to
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: believe to survivor castaways. The show is not about you.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: It's about us, the audience. And we don't want to
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: know who wins. So please, I know you're trying to
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: get followers. I know you're trying to get some attention.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: I get it. I love attention. I love followers. But
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: don't spoil the season for everybody. Sincerely, See Daddy Freakout.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Thanks.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too. Good job by Rachel Lamont.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, Rachel did a great job. She was just talking
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: about puzzles.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: Chase, I know how much you care because just in
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: our group chat for one episode that PD wasn't watching
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: live when I gave a spoiler. you were so wonderfully
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: protective of just his experience for that episode.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: You were like, get it out, get it out of
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: the chat. Delete, delete, delete.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: And you giving that speech, like, that should be a
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: TED Talk. Like, that is make them come correct.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: I agree with everything you're saying.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Media training, people. We got to keep it together.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Chase was very concerned, as if I hadn't already
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: muted you guys. So I was completely unaware. That's very funny.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I do wonder how tight those NDAs are. Yes. You
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: have to be edging that a little bit, right? Edging?
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I like that phrase.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: You've got to be gooning it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: You've got to be gooning it.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: You gooned all over that NBA.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Well, it's just like, it's like in, they don't mean to,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: but it's like, you can't help. But as a person,
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: if you're just constantly posting stuff online, you're going to
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: slip up and give something away. It's like Matt. I mean,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Maggie's the perfect example. That comment. I feel like she's
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: justified in being like, Hey Jeff, who is responsible for
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: that crazy move? And yet you didn't talk about me
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: in your field notes whatsoever.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: But her going after Jeff, the host of the show,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: you would think if she won, she would want to
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: maintain a good relationship with Jeffrey.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: Unless she won and she knows she's not going back
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: for an all-winners anytime soon.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: That's true. I mean, our friend Mary, she's made it
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: very clear when she came on the show, she doesn't
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: want to go back on Survivor. And so she does
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: not care about... I mean, she told a story about
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Jeff screaming at her at Tribal on our show because
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: she doesn't care if she gets invited back. And that
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: could be the case. But the issue is I just
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: don't think it is.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mary, who I'm trying to get her to do
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: something with us that I'm having to keep under wraps
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: because she doesn't want any Survivor fans to know about it. Right.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: So that tells you how Mary's relationship to the game. Yeah.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I love Mary.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she's awesome.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I also have one for Maggie.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow. It's a Maggie-centric episode. Let's hear it.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I love it, Maggle.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I love it, Maggle. Hey, Maggie. Everybody, focus up. Hey, Maggie.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: It's me, Mom. Just kidding.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: My name's Justin, but I wanted to get your attention.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Coming off this week's episode, you're absolutely crushing it. Get it, girl.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: I'm so proud of you. I'm not sure if you've noticed,
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: but this season of Survivor is starting to rival Ted
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: Bundy with the amount of women it's taking out. I
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: need you to lay low. They're coming for you, sister.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: And by they, I mean Brady. Big blonde dude.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Looks like E-man. Brady.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: He does.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: And with that track record, men with a bent on
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: getting a women out this season are usually successful. But
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: I know you can dodge this bullet. You've proven that
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: you don't just wear hoops. You also know how to
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: jump through them.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Keep up the great work, mama. And please, stick with Kristen.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: Or, if you're privately homophobic or anti-capitalist, as we might
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: worry about, stay.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Close to Carter. He farms like you. You love plants.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: He'll take care of you.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: Agricultural divas protecting agricultural divas. Kisses, or as you say
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: in your language, Justin.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: That was very nice.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: The Ted Bundy line was incredible. This season is becoming
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: like Ted Bundy with the amount of women it's taking out.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: That's how you know Justin's a writer. Give this man
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: the Pulitzer for that one.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Do you think, though, that it's.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: A compliment because now the new like sexy person to
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: take out are strong women like that's like that's kind
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: of cool.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you could definitely take it as a
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: compliment because, I mean, you know, it's been very clear
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: that women win most seasons, especially in the new era.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: So every time a woman gets voted out, we'll have
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: like a picture of Jack's face and it says, that's
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: kind of cool.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: That's kind of cool. We've made it so far.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: No, I do.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: I think the women are threats for sure. Especially in
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: this season. The guys aren't playing that hard. That's what's
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: so crazy about it too. It's not like the guys
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: have bonded together and are taking out the women. It's
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: literally just them being like, sure, I'll do whatever you
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: tell me to do.
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's the Sandra kind of anybody but me vibe.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: Last episode was two instances of women on women violence.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: So the calls coming from inside the women's restroom.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: And then Jelly, who I don't want to say anything
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: bad about Jelly because she wants to smoke weed with us.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: She said that we're her ideal blunt rotation.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: But it was pretty funny. An airhead and an edgelord.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: And whatever Bran is. But the lead up to her
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: voting out another woman was her continually saying, I don't
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: want to be part of voting out another woman. Right.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: But she was put in a tough situation because she also.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: She was, yeah.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: And I can't wait to unpack that with her while
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: we smoke a blunt. But Jax, what's your open letter?
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: We do have a repeat offender in here. My letter
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: is for Kilby and Eric.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Whoa.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: Dear Kilby and Eric, in a world drowning in toxic masculinity...
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: You two have built something rare, a friendship powered by banter, creativity,
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: and an unshakable commitment to yes and. Some call it
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: a bromance. Some might insinuate that it's a romance. But
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: it's actually my favorite kind of manse, a showmanse.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Ooh.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: Unlike most, this one will make the merge. History has
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: given us great male duos. There was Ben and Matt,
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: Key and Peele, Colin and Ryan, and of course Tim
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: and Eric, though clearly that Eric was just a rough draft.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Now at last, there is Kilby and Eric. I have
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: a pitch for y'all. I'd like to direct you.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: Community Theater Productions, I'm prepared to stage at a great
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: personal cost to me slash my banker husband.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: The odd couple.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Shut up.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: The Odd Couple. No need to say anything else. The Producers.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: The Mystery of Irma Vep. That's two men playing eight roles.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: Greater Tuna is an entire town played by two men
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: who will knock it off the stage. And finally, something
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: a little more serious, Waiting for Godot. It's like waiting
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: for Tree Mail, but with better banter. And for when
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: you inevitably launch a sketch duo or a podcast. I
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: have some names to throw out that I thought would
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: be good ideas. If it's talking about Shakespeare, which I
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: have a feeling you guys are into. Two gents, no Verona.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: If we're doing a Broadway show, Broadway bound.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: If we're doing something a little spicier, two boys, one idol.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Okay. I'm listening.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Wait, was that a Broadway show? The original?
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was Broadway.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: This is their sketch duo.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: This is their sketch comedy duo.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: But I would love if it was.
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: And then finally, getting in parentheses voted and then off.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, I like that.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: That's a good one.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: Should anyone try to come between you, I trust you'll
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: play your idols for each other or at least split
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: the vote.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: I love you, Jax.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Dang, that was good. That was so good. Wow. I
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: think I would green light all of that.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: I would love to hear your casting for like different
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: Broadway shows and survivors, like maybe a sunset Boulevard starring Carolyn.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, stop.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Justin, Justin, there's nothing that was more perfect. No, no,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: I didn't.
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: But you know, okay, wait, starring Carolyn, her understudy is, um,
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: titty McDuck lips is Sue.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Sue. Guys, we can do fans of the show. That's Sue.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: That's what Sue called herself to be clear.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Sue called herself and Chase tried to I.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Tried to tell her to stop doing that.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: She's like, I like it. Quit taking this from me.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: I'm so sorry, ma'am. We could do Book of Mormon
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: with Christian from this season as the lead.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Hey, some Mormons helped me move a TV the other day.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I don't have any beef with the Mormons. I knew
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: they were Mormon immediately, and they just came out of nowhere.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: They came out of the bushes with milk, and you
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: were like, those dudes are Mormon. And I threw him
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: a bone and I grabbed their little pamphlet.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Is that a euphemism?
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: I grabbed their little pamphlet.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think you're allowed to do that. As I
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: was walking away, I said, I might come to your church,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: but I'll leave the coffee at home.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Nice. And then they were, you knew they were Mormon
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: because they were wearing Mitt Romney buttons all over their jackets.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: They did look very Romney-esque.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Wait, was this recent?
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: It was like last Sunday.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: And they're still riding hard for Mitt Romney?
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, I made that up.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: That was just a bit. Yeah, 20 years later, they're
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: still going ham for Romney.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: They're like binders full of women. I do look back
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: at that with nostalgia. That was a good time. He
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: cared about women. Put me in a binder.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Put me in a binder, Bundy.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: He's not voting any ladies off of Survivor.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: No.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: No.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: That brings it back to me. And we're going to
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: stay on that subject. So dearest Sharonda and Tanaan, I
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: need you. I need you. Like, really bad. I need
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: you too desperately. Christian and Devin make up half of
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: my fucking team, so I cannot express how much I
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: need you.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Stupid.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, every person voted out of this game thus far
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: has been a woman, and we know Chase is loving that.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: But I need you two to stand strong in the
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: face of adversity and show the world what it means
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: to be a journey and to fight against the people
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: like Chase who are cheering not only for your downfall,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: but the downfall of all women. To quote Dee, and
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: not Dee from 45, Dee from Twisted Sister, we're not
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: going to take it. And that's all.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: I don't think PD can go 30 minutes without accusing
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: me of some sort of homophobia, sexism, racism.
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: Would you feel like he's accusing you or just like
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: gently pointing it out?
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's very interesting.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: So the way you asked, you think it's real?
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: So you're not helping my case at all here.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Before we started the episode, Chase did call me the
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: F word. So like, whoa.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: I think that at least the homophobia is pretty concrete
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: at this point.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Hey, guys, as the only one in this call with
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: a career to worry about, can we stop?
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Vicious.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Vicious. Oh, man.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Vicious.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: He's vicious.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I guess it's my turn again. Chase hates women.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: Chase hates women. That was fun. I got to stop
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: yes-anding you doing that to me.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: My letter goes out to two guys on the island,
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Ori and Lewis.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, yep.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Dear Ori and Lewis, or Lewis and Ori, I don't
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: mean to put one before the other because I honestly
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: don't know if either one of you is the winner,
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: but I need one of you to be the winner.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: I drafted Ori first this season, and then I drafted
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: Lewis the second. Twice. What is it? Secondly, I drafted
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: Lewis secondly. Every season on Making the Merge. I think
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: you can just say second. Yeah, second. Now I'm beginning
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: to understand why they called me an airhead. Every season
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: on Making the Merge, I do such a terrible job
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: at drafting. that the fact that for season 51, I
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: have drafted not just Ori and Lewis, but Brady, Eric, Mike,
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: and Maggie, all players who are still in the game,
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: is a huge deal to me. Ori and Lewis, I
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: need one of you to win this season. I need
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: you to win because I need to prove that not
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: only can I win, because I have won before with Rachel.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: The issue was, is I drafted Rachel third round, and
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: it was an accident. I need either Ori or Lewis
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: to win this season because it would prove that I
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: saw something that the other players didn't. I chose the
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: winner of season 51 and it wasn't just an accident.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: That I figured out the Zodiac signs of every player
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: on this season. Then I found the Zodiac signs of
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: all of the winners of Survivor and I did the
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: math of which Zodiac sign had won the most seasons
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: of Survivor so that way I could correlate that with
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: this season's Zodiac signs and pick the winner.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Ori.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Lewis, it's up to you. You can help turn an
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: airhead into a winner. Thank you.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I like how I came off of the Chase hates
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: women thing, and then your next letter was, one of
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: these two men needs to win the game.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Well, it's not going to be one of the ladies,
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: am I right?
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Whoa, it could be Maggie.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: It could be Maggie.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. I actually, Maggie did become my
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: winner pick until she left that comment.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: On Instagram.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: My hot take is I found out yesterday that Mercury's
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: in retrograde until November 13th. So I feel like for
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: three weeks in a row, you're going to lose people
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: from your team.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Whoa.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: So can you explain to me what Mercury in retrograde
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: even means?
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Justin, that explains a lot. Thank you for letting me
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: know that Mercury's in retrograde.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Can I say what I think it means?
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, of course. Please.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: It's not safe to travel.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: Do not make unnecessary journeys. Do not swim in the ocean.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: You guys know this?
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes. The woman on the news.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: So good.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Wait, so what does Mercury being in retrograde mean?
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: Chase, you have a career to worry about. Don't waste
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: your pretty airhead mind on this.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: The only, I had a joke one time where I
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: would say, defending myself in court, Mercury was in retrograde,
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: your honor?
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: And that's the joke. That's the joke. But I don't
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: even know what that is.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: Jax, I feel like you might have a better grasp
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: on this than me, but it's like for a short
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: period of time, like the trajectory of Mars is like backwards, essentially.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it messes with things.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: Like I get more clumsy during this time, which is
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: difficult because I'm already pretty clumsy.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Things start going wrong. People have miscommunications.
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: It really messes with relationships.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Whoa.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: In that, and I'm not saying I do.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Do you think the four of us will be able
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: to navigate that?
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: I think we already did with this week's boot. I
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: was like, this feels like my parents fighting all over
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: again in our group chat. And I was like, we're
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: going to have to take sides and We all know
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: what's going to happen there.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Are you guys group chatting without me?
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: No.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a no Justin chat.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute. Are we group chatting without you?
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: No.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: And you know that because when you went to sleep
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: the other night.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Instead of moving it to.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: A separate chat, we blew up your phone so that
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: you had 500 messages.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: It would have been courteous to have a separate chat,
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: but we said no. We want Justin to know everything.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: That we're thinking. 500 is so insane. I think. What,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: that took place over the course of like three hours?
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: It was wonderful. It was all catch-up worthy.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: So no, there's not a secret group chat without you
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: because we should have put that over there.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: You never know. In Survivor and in Friendships, you've got
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: to keep people in check.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: And plus Mercury's in retrograde.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: We all know what this is, guys.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: Remember, Justin was my number one, but I told Petey
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: he was my number one, but really he was my
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: number two. Petey told me I was his number one,
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: but really Chase was his number one.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: I was his number two.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: And now Justin and Chase have some alliance that honestly
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: could be stronger than anything else that I don't know.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: So who knows what will happen?
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: We're not going to tell you either.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: Chase and I are going to final two, and we're
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: not talking to each other until we get there.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: I can tell.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Also, we have a final two now, not final three.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Apparently.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: I have something really special that I would like to
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: just start and not really preempt.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Please.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: Hey, pretty girl. I love that you're the mascot of
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: this season. A whale in Fiji? That just feels right
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: for some reason. I know that a lot of people
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: have wanted you to get your due for a while. Ideally,
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: that justice would come in the form of a global
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: ban on whaling. But for now, this will have to do.
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: When they pulled you out and everyone gasped and those
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: open-air players lost their fucking marbles, I nearly shit myself, babe.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: Watching you take the spotlight this season doing that sexy
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: little breach pose for the immunity challenges, that's you at
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: your best queen. Don't ever stop doing what you do best,
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: waving just one little fin in the water, blowing your
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: nose on everybody and keeping Kristen and Maggie safe. I
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: love you for that, but you know I'm a big fan.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: Keep being the biggest queen in the ocean.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Justin.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: That was.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Incredible.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: That was beautiful. Thank you.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: Oh, just orchestration-wise, I really wish we could have ended
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: with that one, Justin. That's not me doubting myself, but
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: just like that, that would have been pitch perfect.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: The whale has answered a question for me this season,
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: which is, what if you made Survivor just feel a
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: pinch more like Manchester by the Sea?
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: And.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Just when the whale pops up, I'm like, oh, I
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: feel a bit forlorn. I feel a bit sad.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: And I don't know why. And it's the whale. It's
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: a vibe. I like it.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: No, I love whales. I'm really glad that it's whale
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: themed because there's a French metal band named Gojira that
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: has a seven minute song called Flying Whales, which is
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: all about like finding these whales from a different planet.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: And so that's what it makes me think of.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: That sounds beautiful, Petey.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: I'm taking note of this. I want to hear this song.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, listen to it. It'll sound like me earlier in
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: some spots. Screamo.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Screamo, as they call it.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: But there's also The Misadventures of Flapjack.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Where Flapjack lives in his mom's mouth. Bubby is a whale,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: and he lives in Bubby's mouth.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: Also a great name for a band. Bubby's mouth is
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: a great name for a band.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right. Jax, you're up.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Jax is not whale.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Jax, what's your favorite whale tie-in?
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: My favorite whale tie-in?
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: No, so my, I want to make sure, because I
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: know sometimes I get a little flirty and sexual on
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: this podcast about women, but this is coming from a
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: complete place of respect.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Which is why I couldn't do Kristen.
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: I actually wrote a letter to Kristen that I had
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: to scrap.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: That's for the Patreon.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: That's for the Patreon. I was like, girl, you can't
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: do this. So I wrote a letter to someone that
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: I really.
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: Admire and is now my new winner pick.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Dear Jelly. Aww. Love her.
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: Every great Survivor player needs a theme song. Some get
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: dramatic strings. Some get tribal drums.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: But girl, you get bootylicious, okay?
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: So I have a choreographed dance to this. Dusty Child
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: basically wrote it for you decades before you hit the beach,
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: which is the kind of long game that only Jeff
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: Probst can dream of. Okay, so girl, you were built
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: for this. You're a sociology professor with a PhD before
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: 30 on a show that is a giant social experiment.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Girl, don't think I forgot, mascot camp.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: You won most comedic mascot, Weber the Bear. That is
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: the most dangerous thing on your resume, and nobody at
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: camp even knows it, okay? But I have to have
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: some real talk with you. I fully support and love
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: women and their gay besties.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: But Devin thinks he's a good wingman. He's a terrible wingman.
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: And he's not a great dude to be in alliance with, okay?
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Babe, be careful. Watch out. The gays, they're trying to
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: murder you.
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: Nice.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: White lotus reference.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: Okay, so Jelly, I do have a choreographed dance to
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: your song.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: I don't think you're ready for this, Jelly.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Are you about to get up?
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, do you want me to show it to you?
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: I thought I could do a separate video too, but
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: I am able to get up. I'm not that old, PD.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't mean are you physically capable. Jax, how are
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: your knees feeling? I know you've been out a lot.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: I know I have been. Do you want me to
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: do it here or should I.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Do a separate full video?
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: If you're willing to do it right and capable.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I'm willing and capable. Let's see if we can get me.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Can you... Can you hear me?
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Okay. Okay. Here she goes.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: This is something we can learn if you guys want
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: to stand.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: I can't, but please.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: You're ready for this jelly. I don't think you're ready
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: for this jelly. Then repeat. I don't think you're ready
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: for this jelly.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Then repeat again.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think you're ready for this.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Jelly.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Should we get up and do it?
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: No.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Do it again, though. Oh, wait, I can't hear you. No.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: Five, six, seven, eight.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: There she goes.
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: I don't think you're ready for this jelly. I don't
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: think you're ready for this jelly.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think you're ready for this.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Pause.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: There it is.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: My body's too bootylicious for you. That's how we end.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's about Kilby.
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: It's the last part of it, at least while you're
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: teaching it, is giving a bit of like local grocery
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: store commercial.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: And it's like, we've got great deals for you.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: I've had this choreographed since the year it came out,
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: which is.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: More than 1987, something like that. How dare you? Alexa,
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: what year is Bootylicious out?
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Bootylicious dropped.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: In 2001.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: 2001, so....
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Petey was like two and I was choreographing dances. So
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: I was about like, you know, five or six. Right.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Sure. Right.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's about the level of.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: Wait, 2001?
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, about that. Yeah, 2001. Bootylicious.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, wait.
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: Do you want to coalesce in our like millennial-ness? And
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: this actually strangely ties back to Survivor. So I fell
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: in love with Survivor in season two when Tina won.
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: And I was supposed to go Australia. I was supposed
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: to go on my first like long-term field trip, like
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: three or four days. It sounds like I'm being shipped
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: off forever. They're like, you're going to go live in
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: a farm upstate on a long-term field trip.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: So she won. And I was like, shit, I have
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: to go to DC. Actually, I have to do this.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: And I got on the bus the next day with
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: my People magazine and that had all of the Survivors
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: listed in it. And then, Jax, do you remember Hit Clips? Yes.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: So they were like.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: These little things that went into a little cassette player,
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: and it played 30 seconds of a song.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: It was completely worthless.
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: But one that I had on my little key ring,
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: because that's how small they were, was Bootylicious.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes.
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: My Bootylicious Hit Clips, my special edition Survivor magazine. And
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: the power of prayer got me through three days in Washington, D.C.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Survivor.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: I had a Tooth Tunes.
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: Remember those?
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. played music when you brushed your teeth.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: What did it play?
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: It played.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: Ootylicious. Ootylicious. No, it played the Shrek song. Hey, now,
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: you're an all-star. Get the game on.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Go play. Shout out Smash Mouth.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: I need to tell you guys something off the podcast
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: about Smash Mouth, and I just can't.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: I can't have it on the record.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess we need to wrap it up.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: Because I've got to find out.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so Jelly, if you're listening, which you might, I
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: think Jax was doing an official application to be your
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: wing woman instead of Devin.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Gay besties can be women.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I vouch for Jax.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: She's great.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: As a wing woman, thank you very much.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: I think that does it.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: Easy does it. Wait, Justin, do you really have a
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: story about Smash Mouth?
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: That you want to save for when we're not recording?
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess we have to stop recording then. Chase,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: what do you want to tell the people?
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, I thought we stopped.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Okay. No, no, no.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: I want you to close it out.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, guys, thank you so much for listening. Thank you,
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: Jax and Justin, for being here. It's always an honor.
