- 0:21Speaker 1: New Welcome to the Sanctuary where good Pods Happen. I
- 0:29Speaker 1: am p D Bachmann and I am joined today by Brand.
- 0:34Speaker 1: It's the p D and Brand Show.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Backed by Popular Demand p D, p D and Bean.
- 0:39Speaker 1: If you will PD and Bean, p D and Bean
- 0:45Speaker 1: does sound like a morning radio show, it does.
- 0:49Speaker 2: I'll give you a quick traffic updates. All the traffic
- 0:53Speaker 2: is going to the Making the Merge Podcast feed. Everybody's
- 0:56Speaker 2: listening PD.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Now you're sounding rob a little bit, a little bit, yes,
- 1:02Speaker 1: Making the Merge.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Podcast forever, Forever remembered.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Yeah. So I kicked Chase off of this episode, and
- 1:11Speaker 1: there's a reason for that. See me and Chase together.
- 1:14Speaker 1: I feel like we bring out the worst in each other. No,
- 1:19Speaker 1: you don't agree with that.
- 1:21Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's always helpful when there's a
- 1:23Speaker 3: third to balance out the crazy. But yeah, no, I
- 1:26Speaker 3: don't think you guys bring out the worst.
- 1:28Speaker 2: That's fair.
- 1:29Speaker 1: I just felt like the way the podcast was going
- 1:32Speaker 1: that I needed to suspend Chase for a week and
- 1:35Speaker 1: I needed to bring on the most optimistic member of
- 1:38Speaker 1: our podcast. And I believe that to be you.
- 1:41Speaker 2: I am pretty optimistic that is true. Maybe it's uh,
- 1:44Speaker 2: maybe I'm naive.
- 1:45Speaker 3: Maybe it's the lack of experience that I have on
- 1:49Speaker 3: this show and in Survivor in general.
- 1:51Speaker 2: But I am pretty optimistic. That is true.
- 1:54Speaker 1: It's a good thing and we need that, like you said,
- 1:56Speaker 1: to balance us out. So that's why you're here. And
- 2:00Speaker 1: brand I've got to read a review that it leads
- 2:05Speaker 1: the review it's nice, but it leads me to a
- 2:07Speaker 1: larger point, which is, you know why why you're on
- 2:10Speaker 1: the show today. So it is from Bri b r
- 2:13Speaker 1: E and it says please. The title of the review
- 2:16Speaker 1: is just please. It says, I love, love, love this
- 2:20Speaker 1: podcast I and we'll listen to every episode, but please,
- 2:24Speaker 1: I beg you stop yelling. It hurts my ears and
- 2:28Speaker 1: is unpleasant. I agree. I think maybe we've gotten a
- 2:31Speaker 1: little carried away recently.
- 2:34Speaker 4: Bri, Bri, I don't know what you're talking about, don't
- 2:37Speaker 4: I don't know what you're is this? Am I overcorrecting?
- 2:41Speaker 4: I think it is just a little reaction.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Okay, I do understand what Brie is talking about, but
- 2:48Speaker 3: I also think it's part of our charm.
- 2:49Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 2:50Speaker 3: Maybe we can cut back a little bit, and by we,
- 2:52Speaker 3: I mean mainly Chase, But I I do understand where
- 2:58Speaker 3: she's coming from, and I will do our best to
- 3:01Speaker 3: try to maybe not yell every episode about everything.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Yeah, we were just in a bad headspace when after
- 3:09Speaker 1: Mary at Homes. I think, you know, Brand was a
- 3:12Speaker 1: little more levelheaded the me and Chase. But I think
- 3:14Speaker 1: overall it was just like, we love Mary so much,
- 3:17Speaker 1: Mary got sent home. It had a really bad effect
- 3:19Speaker 1: on us in that twenty four hour period. Now that
- 3:22Speaker 1: I've had a little bit of time to step back,
- 3:25Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, I love this cast. I've
- 3:27Speaker 1: had so much fun this season.
- 3:30Speaker 3: But and I think Bree understands where we're coming from.
- 3:33Speaker 3: It's from a place of love that the anger comes.
- 3:38Speaker 3: If you didn't love something or didn't love people, then
- 3:42Speaker 3: you would never get angry.
- 3:44Speaker 2: And so really you should think of it as a compliment.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Yeah, that you know it. See, That's why it's why
- 3:49Speaker 1: I brought you on Brand.
- 3:50Speaker 2: See.
- 3:51Speaker 1: And the other thing I want to compare this is
- 3:54Speaker 1: like a look into our mental state by comparing our
- 3:57Speaker 1: podcast titles from last year to this year. So it's
- 4:03Speaker 1: just it's gonna give you a glimpse into the different
- 4:06Speaker 1: headspace that we're in. So here's our forty seven, our
- 4:09Speaker 1: season forty seven podcast titles, Episode eight through eleven. Saul's
- 4:14Speaker 1: beautiful smile, He's thrusting again, Soul's sexy vest, Caroline has
- 4:20Speaker 1: adhd and so do we. And here's season forty eight.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Shut Up and Save yourself twice, the Tribal Double, the Pain, Eternal, demonic, prison.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Time is running out. So what jumps out to you there?
- 4:35Speaker 2: Why? I think.
- 4:39Speaker 3: It's definitely darker. But again, this is what it goes
- 4:43Speaker 3: back to this season. For all of the complaints that
- 4:47Speaker 3: we have, and there have been many and many repeating themes,
- 4:52Speaker 3: if you will, especially over the past few weeks, such
- 4:55Speaker 3: as somebody has to make a move, I think what
- 5:02Speaker 3: we see here though, is once again it comes back
- 5:05Speaker 3: to love.
- 5:05Speaker 2: We love the game, and.
- 5:08Speaker 3: This frustration is coming from a love of people that
- 5:14Speaker 3: we've maybe lost along the way, some fallen brothers and
- 5:18Speaker 3: fallen sisters, and last year there was I think some
- 5:23Speaker 3: more lovable characters that made it a bit further, I'm
- 5:28Speaker 3: getting concerned and I think you are as well, PD,
- 5:32Speaker 3: that we're gonna get to the final episode and we're
- 5:35Speaker 3: gonna have no one to cheer for.
- 5:38Speaker 1: It is interesting if you look, did you see the
- 5:40Speaker 1: episode titles got released? Did you see what the final
- 5:42Speaker 1: episode title was?
- 5:43Speaker 2: Did I saw it? But I don't recall what they were?
- 5:46Speaker 2: Do you have them in front of you?
- 5:47Speaker 1: The first one was Icarus time. That's next week, so
- 5:51Speaker 1: that's interesting. And then the week after that, it's only
- 5:54Speaker 1: one to us is gonna win.
- 5:56Speaker 3: Only one of you's is gonna So I mean that
- 6:00Speaker 3: I don't want to get too far ahead, but that
- 6:02Speaker 3: does lead me to believe that Joe and Eva are
- 6:07Speaker 3: in the finals.
- 6:08Speaker 2: That's what That's what.
- 6:08Speaker 1: I would take, and or Shaheen and Kyle. But at
- 6:12Speaker 1: this point I'm thinking Shaheen.
- 6:14Speaker 2: I think so as well. I have hope that it
- 6:16Speaker 2: is Shaheen.
- 6:17Speaker 1: You might make the playoffs and you're first making the
- 6:19Speaker 1: Merge appearance.
- 6:20Speaker 3: I if you're not first or last, that's the that's
- 6:24Speaker 3: my thought process going into this.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Well, actually, if you are last, you have to read
- 6:28Speaker 1: every Banu confessional. I don't know if we've straight.
- 6:30Speaker 2: But that's kind of a yeah, but that's kind of
- 6:32Speaker 2: a win for me, you know.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess if you're if you're excited to read
- 6:37Speaker 1: twelve minutes of Bonu confessionals, and it's not gonna be
- 6:40Speaker 1: all at once. We're gonna break it up into like
- 6:43Speaker 1: thirty second to one minute installments. But either it's looking
- 6:46Speaker 1: like you were Chase, because if Mitch goes home, Chase
- 6:49Speaker 1: loses the draft. If Shahin goes home, you lose it.
- 6:52Speaker 1: So one of you is gonna have to go through
- 6:55Speaker 1: the entire Banu journey.
- 6:57Speaker 2: This is and it's an interesting for sure because.
- 7:03Speaker 3: Just from a strength of game perspective, I would say
- 7:09Speaker 3: that Shaheen's gonna make it to the finals, but if
- 7:13Speaker 3: past few seasons is any indication, the third the third
- 7:17Speaker 3: chair there in final council is left for somebody who's
- 7:20Speaker 3: not gonna get any votes. The lamb led to slaughter
- 7:24Speaker 3: if you whale, which would be Mitch.
- 7:26Speaker 2: And so it is possible, it is possible.
- 7:30Speaker 3: That I would uh in that in that scenario have
- 7:33Speaker 3: to read the Bondu, which again I do that every
- 7:35Speaker 3: night anyway.
- 7:36Speaker 1: So I'm which, yeah, it would be fun. Last night
- 7:39Speaker 1: I was, I was just going through and looking and
- 7:41Speaker 1: man for somebody who was the fourth boot. Twelve minutes
- 7:47Speaker 1: is a lot of time.
- 7:48Speaker 2: That's a lot that's a lot.
- 7:49Speaker 1: You start not get that much.
- 7:51Speaker 2: He's a star.
- 7:52Speaker 1: PD He's a star, that's right. Bondu is like my
- 7:55Speaker 1: white whale for this podcast. It's never gonna happen. I
- 7:58Speaker 1: don't think he's very online. I've seen him out a
- 8:00Speaker 1: couple of times, like in Tiktoks he's hanging out with
- 8:03Speaker 1: Ben Katzman. But it's hard to track down Bonu. But
- 8:05Speaker 1: one day I'm from making the merge.
- 8:08Speaker 3: The problem with Bonu is he is so lovable that,
- 8:14Speaker 3: you know, he is somebody that I want to see
- 8:16Speaker 3: play the game again, but he's also so bad at
- 8:18Speaker 3: the game, but there's no way that he gets to
- 8:21Speaker 3: play again.
- 8:22Speaker 1: It was very much like while we were going through it,
- 8:26Speaker 1: I really felt like, you know, I was out on
- 8:29Speaker 1: an island. No pun intended, because well, everybody hated Banu.
- 8:35Speaker 1: If you see, the ratings actually shot up after he
- 8:38Speaker 1: went home. Everybody's like, oh wow, he's gone now. There
- 8:41Speaker 1: was there was an increase in the ratings, and it
- 8:42Speaker 1: was like, I think I was the only person who
- 8:44Speaker 1: was like, guys, this is the closest thing we will
- 8:46Speaker 1: ever have to Michael Scott on Survivor Banu's topsat Yeah,
- 8:55Speaker 1: enough about Bonu brand. I want to call this Survivor therapy.
- 8:59Speaker 1: I asked you for your top reasons to be excited
- 9:03Speaker 1: for the last two episodes.
- 9:06Speaker 3: I do want to pull back to Curtin a little
- 9:07Speaker 3: bit here and beyond struggle that this this took me a.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Lot longer than I anticipated.
- 9:13Speaker 3: I was literally I was going I was going to
- 9:15Speaker 3: go into this blind and just be like, I can
- 9:17Speaker 3: come up with something. But then I was having a
- 9:19Speaker 3: hard time, like in my mind even coming up with
- 9:21Speaker 3: a number two. So I was like, all right, let
- 9:23Speaker 3: me give this some proper time. So I have four
- 9:26Speaker 3: four reasons why we, as Survivor fans and making the
- 9:32Speaker 3: merge listeners could be excited about these final two episodes
- 9:37Speaker 3: because it is looking bleak, and I think we can
- 9:39Speaker 3: all acknowledge that that going into these final two episodes,
- 9:43Speaker 3: it's tough to get get excited for us.
- 9:46Speaker 2: I'm in the same boat.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Everybody, and we're trying.
- 9:48Speaker 2: So here is my I'm going to start with number four.
- 9:52Speaker 3: With with only Mitch left on Chase's team, it makes
- 9:56Speaker 3: it almost impossible for Chase to repeat, and that means
- 10:01Speaker 3: that he will almost and this is not good news
- 10:03Speaker 3: for Brie but will almost definitely crash out again, which
- 10:08Speaker 3: is fun for us, And so I'm going to start there,
- 10:11Speaker 3: don't I think Chase has the lowest percentage chance of
- 10:17Speaker 3: pulling off a victory just given who he has left,
- 10:20Speaker 3: and that's great for us.
- 10:22Speaker 2: We don't want him to repeat. I think no.
- 10:25Speaker 3: I think even the listeners, even the Chase stands out there,
- 10:28Speaker 3: wanted to be a little mix up here. We don't
- 10:31Speaker 3: want to repeat, and it's good for us. When he
- 10:33Speaker 3: crashes out, it's fun for us, and so that is.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Yeah, if he won, he would also scream. He was
- 10:40Speaker 1: probably screamed more one. I feel like, so Bree, that
- 10:44Speaker 1: you should be thrilled that Chase is not going to win,
- 10:45Speaker 1: because I'm pretty sure when he won last year, he
- 10:47Speaker 1: got on and he screamed for two minutes about Rachel
- 10:50Speaker 1: and him winning the draft. It was remember the Lombardi music,
- 10:54Speaker 1: which I'm gonna have to find something different this year
- 10:56Speaker 1: because I'm not going to use NFL films again. But
- 10:59Speaker 1: I got to do it ones we.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Did it once.
- 11:01Speaker 3: I I yeah, I do understand that. I think a
- 11:04Speaker 3: crash out is always more fun than a victory lap.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Though, right, plus back to back nobody wants Chase to win.
- 11:11Speaker 3: No one wants no one wants that. I think what
- 11:14Speaker 3: everybody wants is obviously for me to win is my
- 11:17Speaker 3: first year.
- 11:17Speaker 2: That'd be big. Okay, number three and this might be
- 11:20Speaker 2: number one, but number three.
- 11:23Speaker 3: And I had this realization last week while I was
- 11:25Speaker 3: watching as David stood up and I was waiting for
- 11:29Speaker 3: something to happen.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Nothing did happen. He was just standing and paying his respects.
- 11:33Speaker 3: But it got me excited for Final Tribal because David
- 11:38Speaker 3: will get to finally articulate all of the thoughts that
- 11:42Speaker 3: have been going through his head as he is just
- 11:46Speaker 3: staring beaming those eyes, those those death eyes at people,
- 11:52Speaker 3: and I can't wait to hear what it is that
- 11:56Speaker 3: he says, whether it's a question, whether it's a statement,
- 11:58Speaker 3: whatever it is. I am here for David talking at
- 12:03Speaker 3: Final Tribal, and I think that alone is worth tuning
- 12:06Speaker 3: in form I wrong.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Here, You are not wrong.
- 12:09Speaker 1: The jury, I was good. This is like the only
- 12:11Speaker 1: the one thing that I was gonna say if you
- 12:13Speaker 1: didn't say it. The jury is one of the biggest
- 12:16Speaker 1: reasons to be excited, because they're gonna be better. You
- 12:19Speaker 1: got Chrissy and David, and you know that they're not
- 12:21Speaker 1: gonna just keep their opinions to themselves.
- 12:23Speaker 2: One hundred. I mean we already we've already heard I
- 12:26Speaker 2: think twice what Chrissy is going to say. She's gonna
- 12:30Speaker 2: repeat it.
- 12:31Speaker 3: But uh, yeah, of course I'm excited for to bring
- 12:33Speaker 3: back Chrissy speaking. But really it's like, I just want
- 12:37Speaker 3: to know what is going through David's mind as Mary
- 12:42Speaker 3: watching all of the and Mary yes, and Mary now
- 12:45Speaker 3: of course yes, But David has just been the past
- 12:49Speaker 3: couple of weeks, David has just been just I don't
- 12:53Speaker 3: even know how to I've never seen anything like it,
- 12:55Speaker 3: just so.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Angry and formative, yes, performatively angry. And I have no
- 13:04Speaker 2: doubts that it's gonna come through in final tribal.
- 13:07Speaker 1: It's not like he's just deciding to do these things
- 13:11Speaker 1: in the heat of the moment, Like when he kept
- 13:13Speaker 1: the same facial expression the entire tribal. He thought about
- 13:17Speaker 1: that all day. He's probably practicing it in the mirror.
- 13:20Speaker 1: And then the state of thing.
- 13:22Speaker 3: You gotta practice it, doesn't You don't meow like that
- 13:26Speaker 3: without you like that, without uh, without practicing it for sure.
- 13:31Speaker 1: And Mary's outfit I feel like Mary's gonna have like
- 13:33Speaker 1: sole level outfits for the jury.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Mary's gonna be fire. Okay, I got two more one
- 13:43Speaker 2: at some point over.
- 13:45Speaker 3: My guess would be it's possible that they keep it
- 13:48Speaker 3: for the final final episode, but it's gonna be revealed.
- 13:51Speaker 2: That Kyle and Camilla have been teaming up. Is it
- 13:54Speaker 2: going to matter?
- 13:56Speaker 3: I don't think it is, And I'm like weirdly excited
- 14:00Speaker 3: for it to finally come out and for them to
- 14:04Speaker 3: just be like, oh, okay, or for David to stand
- 14:08Speaker 3: up and be like I told you. I'm excited to
- 14:11Speaker 3: see what happens when it finally comes out that they've
- 14:14Speaker 3: teamed up and have done nothing with it.
- 14:18Speaker 1: They did one thing, and they broke up Joe's first alliance.
- 14:22Speaker 1: That kind of foiled the Shaheen and Joe's plan for
- 14:25Speaker 1: a second. They got one victory over him, and then
- 14:28Speaker 1: it was just follow the leader for the rest of
- 14:30Speaker 1: the game.
- 14:33Speaker 3: It has been like the biggest not the biggest, but
- 14:36Speaker 3: one of the bigger storylines this season is this secret
- 14:40Speaker 3: partnership of Camilla and Kyle, and every episode they basically
- 14:46Speaker 3: one of them looks at the other one and is like,
- 14:47Speaker 3: can you believe we're pulling this off, and I was
- 14:50Speaker 3: at home, are like, yeah, we can because you're not
- 14:54Speaker 3: doing anything with it.
- 14:55Speaker 1: You successfully pulled it off for like a stretch of
- 14:58Speaker 1: a few weeks, and now it's it's just like, yeah,
- 15:00Speaker 1: you kept a secret, but there's no there's no need
- 15:03Speaker 1: to keep the secret anymore. It's not like you guys
- 15:05Speaker 1: are plotting anything other than doing exactly what Joe wants.
- 15:09Speaker 1: It's the I think that's the biggest letdown, even though
- 15:11Speaker 1: I'm trying to be really positive about the game today,
- 15:14Speaker 1: because Camilla and Kyle are both people that I was
- 15:17Speaker 1: looking at as like these are the prototypical survivor players.
- 15:21Speaker 1: These are the people you want to draft that are
- 15:23Speaker 1: smart and under the radar and always thinking of where
- 15:27Speaker 1: to go next. And then they kind of just Kyle
- 15:29Speaker 1: really ruined that with his you know, emotional connection to
- 15:32Speaker 1: Joe and Eva.
- 15:34Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes you forget that you had a plan and
- 15:38Speaker 3: you get to know people and then you're like, oh,
- 15:40Speaker 3: I forgot that I had a plan.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Trying to keep positive it is yes, it's real people,
- 15:46Speaker 1: it's real emotions. They're on an island for several weeks,
- 15:49Speaker 1: think crazy things happened to your brain. I'm sure it
- 15:51Speaker 1: was very difficult and Mary, we're gonna talk about it later.
- 15:54Speaker 1: But Mary highlighted that that she thinks Kyle he's a sweetheart,
- 15:57Speaker 1: he didn't want to hurt people and like that, right,
- 16:00Speaker 1: she doesn't fault him for it.
- 16:02Speaker 3: What do you think it's a bigger reaction Kyle telling
- 16:05Speaker 3: Camilla that he's a lawyer or Kyle and Camilla telling
- 16:09Speaker 3: people that they were a team.
- 16:12Speaker 1: I think Camilla's reaction to the lawyer thing probably because
- 16:15Speaker 1: I mean, David sniffed out the Camilla and Kyle things,
- 16:18Speaker 1: so did Mary. And yeah, so other people have probably
- 16:22Speaker 1: talked about it too, and we just haven't seen it. Yeah.
- 16:24Speaker 3: The thing I do want to know, and I'm sure
- 16:26Speaker 3: we'll maybe find out it might be after the season,
- 16:29Speaker 3: but have people now that David and Mary are gone?
- 16:34Speaker 3: Is that still a conversation around camp? Is Joe and
- 16:37Speaker 3: Eva and Shaheen talking about this? Are they like do
- 16:41Speaker 3: you think like there was something to that? Was? Like
- 16:44Speaker 3: I and I also like, how much is that partnership
- 16:49Speaker 3: between Camilla and Shaheen because that was one of the
- 16:52Speaker 3: things that David was onto as well, is that they're
- 16:56Speaker 3: you know, Shaheen picked Camille look for that reward or
- 17:01Speaker 3: whatever it was, I don't even remember at this point.
- 17:04Speaker 3: And that's when he was like, there're.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Challe, Oh that's right, that's right, that's right. It was
- 17:11Speaker 2: the challenge when you could pick anybody in.
- 17:15Speaker 1: She looked at me, she was there.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Yeah. Is it like, are they more of a team
- 17:20Speaker 2: than we've seen so far? You know?
- 17:22Speaker 3: Like I I don't know because we I mean, I
- 17:24Speaker 3: don't feel like we've seen a ton of them working
- 17:27Speaker 3: together or you know, I feel like over the past
- 17:30Speaker 3: couple of weeks when there is the conversation of like
- 17:33Speaker 3: should we make the move? Like Shakeen is always like
- 17:36Speaker 3: in the conversation, but I don't see him and Camilla
- 17:40Speaker 3: like really working together. But it's possible that we're just
- 17:43Speaker 3: not seeing that.
- 17:44Speaker 1: Look, Camilla, if you really want to make this move,
- 17:46Speaker 1: then go get a new gigachadchoose Shaheen is your new Gigahad.
- 17:50Speaker 3: There you go, he's ready to make a move. That's again,
- 17:54Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna happen, but I do think it.
- 17:57Speaker 2: It is still possible that this week is the week.
- 18:01Speaker 2: It's a low percentage chance, and.
- 18:04Speaker 3: This is even one of my this is even one
- 18:05Speaker 3: of my things. But I am hopeful. Call call it naivete,
- 18:10Speaker 3: call it whatever you want to blind optimism. Maybe there
- 18:14Speaker 3: is a ten percent chance that a move gets made
- 18:19Speaker 3: this week and it's led by Shaquen and it brings
- 18:22Speaker 3: him to the finish line.
- 18:23Speaker 1: I'll take ten, brother, I'll take it.
- 18:26Speaker 2: There you go, I'll take that. He finally, he finally
- 18:31Speaker 2: gets moving. Maybe he's maybe he sniffs out that.
- 18:34Speaker 3: Kyle and Camilla are a team, and he's like, great,
- 18:36Speaker 3: I can get those two. Mitch will obviously come along.
- 18:39Speaker 2: Maybe not.
- 18:40Speaker 3: Actually, I don't know what the heck Mitch is thinking.
- 18:42Speaker 3: But if Shaheen can make this move, if Shaheen can
- 18:45Speaker 3: make a move, granted, it's reliant on Joe not winning immunity,
- 18:51Speaker 3: it's reliant on Eva not playing the immunity for Joe.
- 18:57Speaker 2: If he doesn't win immunity. There are so many ways
- 19:01Speaker 2: for Joe and Eva to get to final counsel.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Yep. And there was something in the preview about the
- 19:07Speaker 1: Kyle saying something about Shaheen's trying to flip to Joe.
- 19:10Speaker 1: So what's that about.
- 19:12Speaker 2: I don't know, it's probably nothing.
- 19:14Speaker 5: If if I've seen it allion times it's probably nothing, Okay,
- 19:19Speaker 5: my number one, And it gets down to that title
- 19:23Speaker 5: episode of the season finale.
- 19:26Speaker 2: But Eva and Joe can't both win win. One of
- 19:33Speaker 2: Hughs is gotta win.
- 19:35Speaker 3: And I think that that's interesting enough theater rights, Like
- 19:42Speaker 3: you have these two that have been so connected since
- 19:46Speaker 3: day one, like literal day ones. You have this powerful
- 19:51Speaker 3: moment on the beach where Jeff cries and we had
- 19:54Speaker 3: to see it on social media every hour of every.
- 19:57Speaker 1: Day and we all but we all cried. And also
- 20:00Speaker 1: it's funny about how everyone feels now.
- 20:02Speaker 3: I know we all cried, and we've seen how much
- 20:06Speaker 3: like they are truly not only a team, they are
- 20:10Speaker 3: as open of a team as I've seen.
- 20:14Speaker 2: On Survivor in a long time, where they are just like,
- 20:16Speaker 2: we are each other's number one, and we're gonna bring
- 20:20Speaker 2: people along with us. But just know, when it comes
- 20:24Speaker 2: down to it.
- 20:25Speaker 1: It's the two of us, yeah, and two people making fire.
- 20:29Speaker 2: At the end of the day.
- 20:31Speaker 3: Eva and Joe are gonna have to make cases for
- 20:36Speaker 3: why they deserve it more than the other person.
- 20:41Speaker 2: And I don't know, like, I don't know how they're
- 20:43Speaker 2: gonna do it.
- 20:44Speaker 3: I can absolutely see Joe being like I don't deserve
- 20:48Speaker 3: it more than Eva, and then him still winning, Like
- 20:50Speaker 3: I think that that still is very very much possible.
- 20:54Speaker 1: That's the whole thing about Final Tribal is you keep
- 20:57Speaker 1: someone close to you, but you're trying to make a
- 20:58Speaker 1: couple moves on them they don't even know about, so
- 21:01Speaker 1: that when you get there you can be like, hey,
- 21:02Speaker 1: so this is my closest ally but they didn't know
- 21:04Speaker 1: that I had this idol, or they didn't know that
- 21:06Speaker 1: I planned this or whatever. And Joe and Eva don't
- 21:08Speaker 1: have that, So what are they going to do to
- 21:10Speaker 1: try to disparage each other?
- 21:11Speaker 2: Do you think? Like, is there is there a better
- 21:14Speaker 2: case for Eva than they're?
- 21:15Speaker 3: Like, I feel like perception is that Joe's kind of
- 21:19Speaker 3: running the game, But if you look at what Eva
- 21:22Speaker 3: has done, Like Eva has gotten a lot of a
- 21:27Speaker 3: lot of advantages, and.
- 21:28Speaker 2: She's everybody's picking her for rewards and all of this stuff.
- 21:32Speaker 3: Like, is there a case to be made that Eva
- 21:36Speaker 3: is more worthy to win Survivor forty eight than Joe?
- 21:41Speaker 1: I think so. And I'm not just saying that because
- 21:43Speaker 1: she's on my team. I think that she has also
- 21:48Speaker 1: been calling the shots. It feels like as much as
- 21:50Speaker 1: Joe has, you know, freely speaking about like this person's
- 21:53Speaker 1: got to go, this person's got to go, and then
- 21:54Speaker 1: it happening pretty much every time. I feel like I don't.
- 21:59Speaker 1: I feel like her case what it would need to
- 22:01Speaker 1: be is and I don't know if she would do this,
- 22:04Speaker 1: but she needs to look at Joe and be like,
- 22:06Speaker 1: I made it to where this man would die for
- 22:08Speaker 1: me and take me through the game and be seen
- 22:12Speaker 1: as the leader, you know, and get the brunt of
- 22:14Speaker 1: everyone's hate that gets voted out, and then I was
- 22:18Speaker 1: able to just make it all the way to the
- 22:21Speaker 1: end without much of a struggle at all. Yeah, I
- 22:25Speaker 1: think that's what she should try to present.
- 22:29Speaker 3: I think it's just it's always tough when you're that
- 22:33Speaker 3: close with somebody, though, when you go into final tribal
- 22:36Speaker 3: and you're trying to like make a case again, like
- 22:40Speaker 3: but it's I don't know, it's it's really tough. I'm interested, Like,
- 22:44Speaker 3: I think it's gonna it should make for good theater.
- 22:46Speaker 3: And I do think the two of them have obviously
- 22:49Speaker 3: played such a close game and it makes it really
- 22:53Speaker 3: hard to pick one over the other, and so I
- 22:56Speaker 3: think it really could go either way, and if Eva
- 23:00Speaker 3: was smart, she'd turn on him. She'd flip, she'd pull
- 23:02Speaker 3: a Charlie and she would and she'd get get rid
- 23:06Speaker 3: of him like that.
- 23:07Speaker 2: That would be the play. But I don't think that
- 23:09Speaker 2: she would do that.
- 23:10Speaker 1: So no, but Mary, and this is in a different interview.
- 23:14Speaker 1: We're gonna we're about to talk about the Entertainment Weekly one.
- 23:17Speaker 1: But she was asked by I think it was Gordon Holmes,
- 23:21Speaker 1: would you have voted for Shaheen over Joe if at
- 23:24Speaker 1: that point in the game, like if you were voting
- 23:26Speaker 1: right then, and she said yes because she thought that
- 23:29Speaker 1: Shaheen's played the better game. Wowan to do more stuff.
- 23:33Speaker 3: Okay, so it's not just like we talked about a
- 23:35Speaker 3: little bit in the last episode, but like Shaheen says
- 23:38Speaker 3: that he should win, and I'm like, I don't know, man,
- 23:42Speaker 3: Like the only thing I know you've done is been
- 23:44Speaker 3: in secret.
- 23:45Speaker 2: So it's like, I don't know. But if if Mary
- 23:48Speaker 2: is thinking it, then it's possible that others are as well.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Now we're gonna talk about Mary's exit. Press shout out
- 23:57Speaker 1: to Dalton Ross with Entertainment Weekly. The first thing I
- 24:00Speaker 1: want to read was let's start with David. Why not
- 24:05Speaker 1: we were talking about David on this show. Dalton asked her,
- 24:09Speaker 1: what was the reunion with David and the others like
- 24:11Speaker 1: at Ponderosa, and she said, I'm going to be honest, Dalton.
- 24:14Speaker 1: When I was on that boat going back to Ponderosa,
- 24:16Speaker 1: I thought to myself, Wow, I'm really going to be
- 24:19Speaker 1: like Venus love a good Venus shout out. I'm really
- 24:23Speaker 1: going to be someone who has no friends after this experience,
- 24:26Speaker 1: because the last two three days that I was out there,
- 24:28Speaker 1: I felt like a pariah. It looked as if people
- 24:31Speaker 1: were talking to me, but especially the last couple of days,
- 24:33Speaker 1: it was as if people would be infected by my
- 24:35Speaker 1: cooties if they made eye contact with me. And so
- 24:39Speaker 1: when I was on the boat, I was just thinking
- 24:41Speaker 1: to myself, Damn, I'm going to have to go to
- 24:43Speaker 1: these viewing parties and I have zero connection to any
- 24:45Speaker 1: of these people. So she was already thinking about the
- 24:48Speaker 1: viewing parties. That's hilarious. But then when I got to Ponderosa, Cedric, Chrissy, David,
- 24:53Speaker 1: and Starr were standing outside and I saw them and
- 24:56Speaker 1: she started to tear up, just like Star did when
- 24:59Speaker 1: she was discussing the same experience, and Mary says, yeah,
- 25:04Speaker 1: it meant a lot to me. It really really meant
- 25:06Speaker 1: a lot to me because I thought, Wow, these people
- 25:08Speaker 1: actually care after feeling like nobody cared about me for
- 25:11Speaker 1: a really long time. So it was so much fun.
- 25:13Speaker 1: We stayed up maybe till one or two in the morning,
- 25:15Speaker 1: everybody just out there, eating, drinking, talking, laughing. I'm so
- 25:19Speaker 1: grateful for my time at pond Rosa because I think
- 25:22Speaker 1: I took a beating out there, and when I got
- 25:24Speaker 1: to Ponderosa is really when I did a lot of healing.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Oh how about that. I gotta be honest, I don't
- 25:31Speaker 2: know what.
- 25:33Speaker 3: How to like equate one or two am like in
- 25:37Speaker 3: relation to like even when tribal is, I have no
- 25:40Speaker 3: idea if that's late or not.
- 25:42Speaker 2: But she seems impressed by it. So although with late
- 25:45Speaker 2: it seems like they were they do tribal what time
- 25:48Speaker 2: do you think?
- 25:50Speaker 1: I think right after it gets dark and but it
- 25:52Speaker 1: doesn't do that in Fiji.
- 25:54Speaker 2: I know that's the tricky thing.
- 25:56Speaker 3: So really they could do it anytime, because we all
- 25:58Speaker 3: know the darkness is artificial, it's our darkness.
- 26:01Speaker 1: It was something created by Jeff Probs yeah, okay, guys,
- 26:05Speaker 1: if a lot of people probably have no idea what
- 26:07Speaker 1: we mean, people who jumped On the last few weeks,
- 26:09Speaker 1: Chase Bridges was confused about whether nighttime happened in Fiji.
- 26:16Speaker 1: It's a real thing that happened on our show.
- 26:19Speaker 2: It's it's still so funny.
- 26:21Speaker 1: Yeah, go listen to if you're new, go listen to
- 26:23Speaker 1: the first episode. Because not only did Chase think it
- 26:26Speaker 1: didn't get dark, he thought that they decided to begin
- 26:29Speaker 1: season forty eight by saying rest in peace to Rudy,
- 26:32Speaker 1: which did not happen. But while we're at it, recipes, Yeah,
- 26:37Speaker 1: recipes Rudy.
- 26:40Speaker 3: I do like the idea of Jeff Probes creating artificial darkness.
- 26:45Speaker 3: We all know about AI, but have you heard about
- 26:47Speaker 3: a D It is uh, it's a trademarked by Jeff text.
- 26:53Speaker 3: You know.
- 26:53Speaker 1: I think that for is you know, annoying as some
- 26:57Speaker 1: of those people. We got an annoyed by some of
- 27:00Speaker 1: those people who were at Ponderosa over points of the season,
- 27:03Speaker 1: but it seems like they were all such a supportive
- 27:06Speaker 1: group that they kind of let the game go a
- 27:09Speaker 1: little bit. We'll see about at final tribal rights.
- 27:13Speaker 3: No.
- 27:13Speaker 2: I appreciate that especially.
- 27:15Speaker 3: It was obviously very sad when Mary got voted out
- 27:19Speaker 3: and the idea of her, you know, spending that whole
- 27:23Speaker 3: boat ride again, no idea how long that takes. I'm
- 27:26Speaker 3: not familiar with the travel time, but her just thinking
- 27:32Speaker 3: like I like, I'm going to go like I don't
- 27:34Speaker 3: have any friends here, No one wants to be my friend,
- 27:35Speaker 3: basically to.
- 27:37Speaker 2: Going back and like feeling like, oh I do have friends.
- 27:41Speaker 2: It's like that makes me.
- 27:42Speaker 1: Happy and shout out to Venus. I love that she
- 27:45Speaker 1: mentioned Venus. Venus was one of my favorite New Era players.
- 27:48Speaker 1: She was so funny. Do you remember much of Venus
- 27:51Speaker 1: from forty six? No, she did make it into the merge.
- 27:56Speaker 1: She was voted up pretty quickly after. But the thing
- 27:58Speaker 1: about Venus was she was horrible socially, but she was
- 28:03Speaker 1: so confident and it made for a really entertaining player.
- 28:07Speaker 1: But it's a yescause you do remember, Yes, she was
- 28:10Speaker 1: a Jonathan Pick.
- 28:12Speaker 2: Oh that makes sense.
- 28:13Speaker 1: Yeah, Jonathan said that she was one of his survivor
- 28:16Speaker 1: and nightmares. But I thought it was a great time
- 28:19Speaker 1: watching her, and she did. She beefed with people on
- 28:21Speaker 1: Twitter pretty hard, but that's what Mary's referring to here
- 28:24Speaker 1: when she says, I'm gonna be like Venus, meaning I'm
- 28:27Speaker 1: just gonna be yelling at people on Twitter and I'm
- 28:29Speaker 1: not gonna have friends.
- 28:30Speaker 2: But Venus did not have this nice reunion with with
- 28:34Speaker 2: the and that's part of the one.
- 28:35Speaker 1: That was one of the reasons I loved season forty
- 28:38Speaker 1: six because the New Era it was very kumbaya and
- 28:41Speaker 1: we all love each other and we all just like, basically,
- 28:44Speaker 1: after the season's over, go live together and like travel
- 28:47Speaker 1: the world. And then forty six was like, hey, we
- 28:49Speaker 1: all hate each other and have deep resentment over what
- 28:52Speaker 1: happened over this four week period, and it was such
- 28:55Speaker 1: a change of pace.
- 28:57Speaker 2: That's right. And don't you dare play an idol?
- 29:00Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the other thing about forty six. Forty
- 29:02Speaker 1: six is my favorite New Era season by far.
- 29:04Speaker 2: A great season.
- 29:05Speaker 1: First one. You ever watched, right, first season of Survivor
- 29:07Speaker 1: you ever watched first season?
- 29:09Speaker 2: I ever watched?
- 29:10Speaker 1: What a good hook?
- 29:11Speaker 2: But you we weren't. I say, you guys weren't podcasting
- 29:15Speaker 2: forty six? Were you?
- 29:16Speaker 1: We were not.
- 29:16Speaker 2: We drafted it, but you didn't podcast it.
- 29:18Speaker 1: Yeah, we were in our group chat. We were filming
- 29:20Speaker 1: fifteen second reaction videos to the vote outs and stuff
- 29:23Speaker 1: to try to make our first piece of Survivor content
- 29:26Speaker 1: for YouTube, which yes you saw it brought you to.
- 29:29Speaker 3: I'm very excited. I don't want to get ahead of it.
- 29:32Speaker 3: We still have two more weeks left, but I am
- 29:34Speaker 3: excited to go back into the archives whatever we're calling it.
- 29:39Speaker 2: I believe yes after this season.
- 29:42Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think it's another reason to get
- 29:44Speaker 3: involved with the Patreon for sure. I think the planet
- 29:49Speaker 3: you can correct me if I'm wrong, is to put
- 29:51Speaker 3: it up for a vote for the Patreon community to
- 29:54Speaker 3: see which season.
- 29:55Speaker 2: Of Survivor it could be.
- 29:57Speaker 3: Uh, we could go back to season one for all week,
- 30:00Speaker 3: but it's gonna be up to the people to let
- 30:02Speaker 3: us decide. Hey, in between season forty eight and forty nine,
- 30:06Speaker 3: what's a season of Survivor that we should that's our
- 30:09Speaker 3: watch and cover and I think it's gonna be really
- 30:12Speaker 3: fun and the patrons will get a chance to decide
- 30:15Speaker 3: which season that is.
- 30:16Speaker 2: So join the Patreon community if for no other reason you.
- 30:19Speaker 3: Get an amazing chat during the during the episodes, but
- 30:24Speaker 3: you'll also get to decide what we're gonna do after
- 30:26Speaker 3: the season, which is really great.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Absolutely, And we're not gonna tell you what the name
- 30:30Speaker 1: of the show is called. We're not gonna tell you
- 30:31Speaker 1: which seasons are gonna be up for vote. Just know
- 30:33Speaker 1: it's gonna be four classics. You will will decide classics.
- 30:37Speaker 1: So back to Mary more David, We're gonna talk a
- 30:41Speaker 1: little more David. So you and David seem really close
- 30:44Speaker 1: in the game, and I asked him about that two
- 30:46Speaker 1: weeks ago, and he said Mary sort of latched onto me,
- 30:48Speaker 1: and me and Chase talked about this and we roasted
- 30:51Speaker 1: David being like, no, that's not what happened. But it
- 30:53Speaker 1: was Mary inserting herself into the group and then attaching
- 30:57Speaker 1: herself to me, And it just came to a point
- 30:59Speaker 1: where I was like, I can't do anything about Mary.
- 31:01Speaker 1: She's here. We might as well use her for a number.
- 31:04Speaker 1: She was always going to be the sixth boot, which
- 31:06Speaker 1: I don't think was ever truly clarified. Was that ever
- 31:09Speaker 1: clarified to you? And then Mary says David saying that
- 31:12Speaker 1: was hilarious. I love David. Let me just preface that.
- 31:17Speaker 1: But from the first day of New Loggie, David, Eva
- 31:20Speaker 1: and I collectively agreed that we were going to work
- 31:23Speaker 1: together and join forces. It was mutually beneficial, and that
- 31:26Speaker 1: was a group decision. Eva and David wanted numbers, and
- 31:29Speaker 1: I wanted people who would work with me, who I
- 31:31Speaker 1: could trust. Eva and David were the first people since
- 31:34Speaker 1: day five when Kevin got voted out, who wanted to
- 31:36Speaker 1: work with me, who I felt like I could trust.
- 31:38Speaker 1: I think a lot of people don't realize the desperation
- 31:40Speaker 1: that I felt, Also the desperation that I think anybody
- 31:43Speaker 1: coming from Vula or survived Vula would have felt. I
- 31:46Speaker 1: had continuously been on the bottom. And I know people
- 31:49Speaker 1: are going to be like, how many times is this
- 31:51Speaker 1: bitch gonna say she was on the bottom. It was true,
- 31:54Speaker 1: It was true.
- 31:54Speaker 3: I was.
- 31:55Speaker 1: And when David and Eva wanted to work with me, listen,
- 31:58Speaker 1: if you're selling, I'm buying, especially people who I can
- 32:01Speaker 1: tell really value being honest. Eva has been incredibly honest
- 32:05Speaker 1: this entire game. She literally was like, hey, sorry, I
- 32:09Speaker 1: can't protect you. Also, the reason I asked Eva if
- 32:11Speaker 1: she would use the idol on me is because when
- 32:13Speaker 1: she got the idol, she was like, Hey, I'm going
- 32:15Speaker 1: to use the idol on you or us. It's our idol.
- 32:18Speaker 1: So I was just shooting my shot.
- 32:19Speaker 2: That's interesting.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't realize that Eva kind of pitched it
- 32:23Speaker 1: as a community thing and that involved marriage.
- 32:25Speaker 2: It's a communal idol.
- 32:27Speaker 1: So what do you think about? So you listen to
- 32:29Speaker 1: me and Chase talk about David Colin, Mary Klingy, Mary
- 32:33Speaker 1: just won't go away, trying to get rid of her.
- 32:35Speaker 1: And then Mary's like, look, I was just I came
- 32:38Speaker 1: from a tribe that had been completely wiped out, and
- 32:43Speaker 1: I was desperate. What's your think?
- 32:46Speaker 3: Obviously we only get to see so much, but Mary's
- 32:54Speaker 3: version of this story does seem to hold a little
- 32:59Speaker 3: bit more wall. Uh, if you're asking me it, this
- 33:03Speaker 3: is what it seemed like. It seemed like we get
- 33:05Speaker 3: a tribe swap right, and and our guy David.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Was in heaven.
- 33:10Speaker 3: He's just around women. I don't know if you remember this. Yes, sisters,
- 33:15Speaker 3: and h is very comfortable around women, and I think
- 33:20Speaker 3: that that happened right like hed, Yes, he bonded with
- 33:25Speaker 3: all of them, and so I can absolutely see the
- 33:29Speaker 3: three of them being like Eva being like, hey, I
- 33:32Speaker 3: got to sing with with Joe. We need numbers come
- 33:36Speaker 3: on in great wonderful fantastic and I can absolutely see
- 33:42Speaker 3: I don't buy the fact that David was somehow annoyed
- 33:49Speaker 3: that Mary was around. That is, if he was annoyed,
- 33:56Speaker 3: he's a better actor than we could ever get him
- 34:00Speaker 3: credit for, because not only did he not see him
- 34:02Speaker 3: annoyed by it, he seemed quite taken by the fact
- 34:05Speaker 3: that Mary was around him all the time. And I'm
- 34:09Speaker 3: not I'm not trying to insinuate anything. All I'm saying
- 34:14Speaker 3: is outside looking and it did not seem like Mary
- 34:20Speaker 3: was the clinging one in the relationship.
- 34:22Speaker 2: And I will leave it at that.
- 34:23Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. And this leads me to
- 34:26Speaker 1: a TikTok that I want to play for Mary.
- 34:30Speaker 6: It's really crazy because I thought that saying what I
- 34:34Speaker 6: said on an Island I would get the results that
- 34:37Speaker 6: I wanted because usually in my everyday life, when I
- 34:42Speaker 6: tell a man to use me, it works on for everyone.
- 34:48Speaker 2: It's fun for everyone.
- 34:50Speaker 6: I know what's gonna happen. But yeah, that's fine. They
- 34:57Speaker 6: didn't want to do that out there, but I'll survive. Well,
- 35:01Speaker 6: actually I won't, but that's okay too. And yeah, I
- 35:05Speaker 6: think I'm going to hang on this TikTok thing. If

- 35:21Speaker 2: Okay, not buy all right.
- 35:23Speaker 1: You heard it from Mary? Subscribe to her TikTok.
- 35:27Speaker 3: Mary is one of the funniest people in the YEA,
- 35:29Speaker 3: she's so great. This is Yeah, that's what I think
- 35:32Speaker 3: I'm getting at. What we did see is.
- 35:38Speaker 2: Mary kind of using da.
- 35:45Speaker 1: To She doesn't like to frame it that.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Way, but I understand.
- 35:49Speaker 3: Yeah, but and I know that's not necessarily what she's
- 35:52Speaker 3: saying there. But she was able to, for better or worse,
- 35:58Speaker 3: and worse for day, convinced David that there was something
- 36:02Speaker 3: going on and that they should go like push back
- 36:06Speaker 3: against Kyle and Camilla and that whole whole situation and shaheen,
- 36:11Speaker 3: and he did and out he went. And I think
- 36:16Speaker 3: obviously Mary would have preferred David to stick around longer
- 36:20Speaker 3: because he was a number with her.
- 36:22Speaker 2: But to say that she's the clinging one there is
- 36:27Speaker 2: wild wild.
- 36:30Speaker 1: I miss everybody. That's the problem right now, is it?
- 36:33Speaker 1: I miss everybody who gets voted out. I wish we
- 36:35Speaker 1: got more of the David and Mary relationship just to
- 36:39Speaker 1: see where it goes on the island for the last
- 36:42Speaker 1: couple of weeks. It sucks that they got they both
- 36:44Speaker 1: got voted out.
- 36:45Speaker 2: I would do I would watch a David and Mary
- 36:47Speaker 2: reality show for certain.
- 36:51Speaker 1: A David and Mary reality show where their landlords.
- 36:56Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest, I would.
- 36:57Speaker 3: I would even give the amazing race more than a
- 37:00Speaker 3: one minute chance if David.
- 37:02Speaker 1: Oh, oh, absolutely. So let's let's read one last thing,
- 37:07Speaker 1: because I don't want to make it all about David today.
- 37:09Speaker 1: This is about Mary. So from the edit, it looks
- 37:13Speaker 1: like people maybe don't want to work with you, but
- 37:15Speaker 1: it definitely doesn't give the feeling that you're being ostracized.
- 37:19Speaker 1: Why do you think that was Do you think it
- 37:20Speaker 1: was just people were afraid to be seen talking to you.
- 37:23Speaker 1: Was it they that they just didn't want to hear
- 37:25Speaker 1: your pitch? Do you think it was a personal issue
- 37:28Speaker 1: they had? And Mary says, I knew it wasn't personal.
- 37:31Speaker 1: I knew that with my head, but with my heart.
- 37:33Speaker 1: There's a kind of a lag between head and heart.
- 37:35Speaker 1: So all my heart could feel was that people didn't
- 37:38Speaker 1: want to be around me. But I think the reason
- 37:40Speaker 1: is what people said to me after the game. They
- 37:42Speaker 1: were like, Yo, we're sorry we didn't talk to you.
- 37:44Speaker 1: We didn't want to work with you because we saw
- 37:46Speaker 1: you as a threat. We didn't want to sit next
- 37:48Speaker 1: to you at Final Tribal And yeah, they didn't know that.
- 37:52Speaker 1: With a lot of vula, I got lucky. It wasn't
- 37:55Speaker 1: like I was this huge mastermind. I feel like throughout
- 37:57Speaker 1: the game, everybody's like, she's this incredible mastermind. I don't
- 38:01Speaker 1: think I'm an incredible mastermind. I think I'm scrappy though,
- 38:03Speaker 1: but people don't know that. They were just like, wow,
- 38:06Speaker 1: she really survived, and so I think they didn't want
- 38:08Speaker 1: to work with me for that reason. But also you
- 38:11Speaker 1: can see that everybody out there has Day one connections.
- 38:13Speaker 1: Those are all Day one connections and people at that
- 38:16Speaker 1: point it was tense because everybody, I feel like, wanted
- 38:19Speaker 1: to prove their loyalty. I was talking to Shaheen right,
- 38:22Speaker 1: I was like, this isn't a game of out loyal
- 38:24Speaker 1: but everybody out there was so pressed on being loyal
- 38:27Speaker 1: to each other that I think if they were really
- 38:30Speaker 1: like seeing and talking to me, it would increase paranoia
- 38:33Speaker 1: and really splinter whatever plans or connections they had, and
- 38:37Speaker 1: that's very interesting that she points out that I lost
- 38:40Speaker 1: all my Day one people and all these other people
- 38:43Speaker 1: still have them, and that's what makes it so tough.
- 38:47Speaker 3: That's the yeah that for sure, people that have their
- 38:49Speaker 3: Day one still there, they don't why would they, why
- 38:52Speaker 3: would they keep marry around any longer? And the people
- 38:55Speaker 3: that don't have anybody are too freaking afraid to do something.
- 38:59Speaker 3: This isn't this isn't Mary being some sort of like
- 39:05Speaker 3: social outcasts that can't make friends. She's very likable, and
- 39:10Speaker 3: I think anybody who us looking at watching the show
- 39:15Speaker 3: are like, why are people not just teaming up with Mary? Mitch, Kyle, Camilla, Shaheen.
- 39:24Speaker 3: You can do this and Mary is the way to
- 39:28Speaker 3: make it happen.
- 39:29Speaker 2: Still get mad.
- 39:30Speaker 1: It's just a different group of people. I feel like
- 39:32Speaker 1: we've all become accustomed to this is how you play Survivor,
- 39:35Speaker 1: and you just do them. It's like kind of like
- 39:37Speaker 1: analytics in football. They're like Andy and Jenevieve and all
- 39:40Speaker 1: those people are constantly crunching numbers thinking how do I
- 39:42Speaker 1: get the most votes at the end. This season is
- 39:45Speaker 1: not like that at all, And yeah, it's it's very different.
- 39:49Speaker 3: I honestly think if Mary had one more day on
- 39:53Speaker 3: that island, she could have made it work.
- 39:55Speaker 2: She waited one day too long.
- 39:57Speaker 3: To do the thing where Joe with Joe, where she
- 40:00Speaker 3: made Joe spiral out of control. If you do that
- 40:03Speaker 3: one day earlier and you just kind of keep keep
- 40:07Speaker 3: kind of poking that bear a little bit, I think
- 40:09Speaker 3: you could have gotten the numbers because part of the
- 40:12Speaker 3: loyal here is Joe is such a good guy.
- 40:15Speaker 2: Joe is such a like we can trust Joe.
- 40:18Speaker 3: But I don't know how you look at that edit
- 40:21Speaker 3: and see Joe kind of spiraling out of control and
- 40:24Speaker 3: not be.
- 40:24Speaker 2: Like, oh, maybe we do. I want to put all
- 40:27Speaker 2: my eggs in this Joe basket.
- 40:29Speaker 3: And you want to know, one of my favorite things
- 40:30Speaker 3: to come out of the exit interviews is the fact
- 40:32Speaker 3: that she said that she didn't even see David's stand up.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Oh I almost skipped over that.
- 40:39Speaker 3: Yeah, she she just she got I want to say,
- 40:43Speaker 3: she got back to Ponderosa and Star or someone was like,
- 40:47Speaker 3: can you believe David stood up?
- 40:49Speaker 2: And She's like, what are you talking about?
- 40:51Speaker 1: Because she is probably just a blackout moment of like, yeah,
- 40:55Speaker 1: my whole Survivor world is just crashed in on itself
- 40:57Speaker 1: and nothing is going It's like, you know, a flash
- 41:00Speaker 1: bang situation and call of duty. You don't know what's
- 41:03Speaker 1: going on.
- 41:04Speaker 3: I love that even in these moments where Mary is
- 41:07Speaker 3: like having an out of body experience, she still is
- 41:10Speaker 3: able to look back at the camera and do the
- 41:13Speaker 3: peace sign as she walks.
- 41:14Speaker 2: Away, like that's just her default.
- 41:16Speaker 1: She also said she did a little speech that they cut.
- 41:18Speaker 2: I wish we would have gotten that, but yeah, what
- 41:22Speaker 2: can you do?
- 41:22Speaker 1: Yeah, she said, I expected to cry out of sadness,
- 41:25Speaker 1: not out of laughter seeing David stand up. Ye shout
- 41:32Speaker 1: out to Mary. I love Mary, and you know brand,
- 41:37Speaker 1: we've all gotten musical, I guess except you and Chase.
- 41:40Speaker 1: I don't know if I heard this correctly, but I
- 41:43Speaker 1: think you also did a little little something.
- 41:47Speaker 3: I want to add a little clarification here. I think
- 41:50Speaker 3: it's been misconstrued, construed, conscrewed, construed. Yeah, it's been misconstrued
- 41:56Speaker 3: that I scent in a song today. It's what happened
- 42:01Speaker 3: here is I saw David stand up and I thought
- 42:07Speaker 3: that it was so interesting that I paused my TV.
- 42:12Speaker 3: And one of the things you don't know about me
- 42:14Speaker 3: is that I'm able to kind of enter into somebody's
- 42:17Speaker 3: psyche in a moment like that.
- 42:21Speaker 2: Yes, it's something that I do.
- 42:23Speaker 3: I channel on the side, So I was able to
- 42:26Speaker 3: channel David and kind of what was going through his
- 42:32Speaker 3: mind in the moment as he stood up. And to
- 42:37Speaker 3: say it was sad that it was bleak would be
- 42:39Speaker 3: an understatement. But weirdly enough, what I was able to
- 42:43Speaker 3: channel was a song. So again, it's not me, it
- 42:48Speaker 3: is David, but I can see how you got there.
- 42:50Speaker 3: But yes, this is a song from David about Mary.
- 42:55Speaker 1: Yes, okay, well excuse what I said earlier. We have
- 42:58Speaker 1: a song from David. David from season forty eight of
- 43:01Speaker 1: Survivor has sent a song to making the merge. Let's
- 43:03Speaker 1: hear it, give up and and i' to keep you
- 43:09Speaker 1: though we know that evil has them all.
- 43:14Speaker 2: You're the closest to heaven fijis ever seen. And I
- 43:19Speaker 2: don't want to go home now. All I can see
- 43:26Speaker 2: is that moment when you played your shot in the dark.
- 43:33Speaker 2: Sooner later the realize.
- 43:38Speaker 7: They should have sent Joe home nights and answer the
- 43:44Speaker 7: world to see me.
- 43:47Speaker 1: When I cried out as draft.
- 43:49Speaker 2: Stopped your charge. All that I have is some cold.
- 43:55Speaker 7: Milk and I'll stand up to show basketle maybe deserve
- 44:03Speaker 7: so much more Survivor.
- 44:16Speaker 2: That's taps playing it out, which I tell you, beautiful.
- 44:29Speaker 1: Oh brand, I mean not, I got it wrong. Get David, David,
- 44:33Speaker 1: thank you for the beautiful song. I enjoyed that so much.
- 44:37Speaker 1: Thank you, David.
- 44:38Speaker 2: It was beautiful. It was beautiful, David.
- 44:40Speaker 3: Thank you for sharing that in And uh yeah, I
- 44:43Speaker 3: mean I think all of that came through while he
- 44:47Speaker 3: stood up. I think we felt all of those words.
- 44:50Speaker 3: But to hear it, you know, through the output of
- 44:56Speaker 3: the goo goo dolls, I think is a win for
- 44:57Speaker 3: all of us.
- 44:58Speaker 1: And David mustn't own that we were going to talk
- 45:01Speaker 1: about him so much in this episode that he should
- 45:03Speaker 1: send in a song and that's how we close the
- 45:05Speaker 1: Show's pretty brilliant by David. I think we haven't given
- 45:07Speaker 1: David enough credit for being the brilliant guy that he is.
- 45:10Speaker 1: The standing up, the singing, the song, everything he did.
- 45:14Speaker 1: Thank you, David.
- 45:15Speaker 2: He's playing chess. Man are playing checkers.
- 45:19Speaker 1: But the pressure is on Chase, because Chase, do you
- 45:23Speaker 1: want to reveal this? You know what I'm we know
- 45:27Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. We're not gonna necessarily play it,
- 45:30Speaker 1: But should we.
- 45:30Speaker 2: Allude to what he did?
- 45:32Speaker 3: All this is all I'll say that Chase hasn't had
- 45:38Speaker 3: a song played on this season, but that doesn't mean he.
- 45:41Speaker 2: Hasn't made one.
- 45:42Speaker 1: That's right, And it doesn't mean he hasn't made one.
- 45:46Speaker 1: And it's so bad according to him, because I have not.
- 45:50Speaker 1: He sent it to you apparently, but I've not been
- 45:52Speaker 1: allowed to hear it. He said that he hates it
- 45:55Speaker 1: and it's horrible and that no one can ever see it.
- 45:59Speaker 2: How about this? And I feel secure doing this? How many?
- 46:05Speaker 3: How many patrons before the end of the season do
- 46:08Speaker 3: we need to get to release the song without his permission?
- 46:11Speaker 1: Oh? What are we at?
- 46:12Speaker 2: Now?
- 46:13Speaker 1: We have twenty I want to say, twenty people in
- 46:16Speaker 1: our chat? Thirty thirty five? Forty I think.
- 46:24Speaker 3: Let's do forty seems like a high enough. Now, like that,
- 46:28Speaker 3: if we double the patreon if we double.
- 46:30Speaker 2: The patrons by by two weeks?

- 46:44Speaker 1: And Chase will not have a say. Me and Brand
- 46:47Speaker 1: have decided. Brand owns the network. He can't say no
- 46:50Speaker 1: to brand. He can say no to me, but he
- 46:52Speaker 1: can't say no to brand.
- 46:53Speaker 2: And what's he going to be like?
- 46:54Speaker 1: Oh?
- 46:55Speaker 2: Oh man, Like, no, that's not good. We got forty,
