- 0:52Speaker 2: Let's crack.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Let's crack this Jody Newle coconut. But we have to
- 0:55Speaker 3: do we we gotta do the obligatory explaining what Jody
- 0:59Speaker 3: Newle is. Of course, brand how about you do it
- 1:02Speaker 3: this year? Okay, Jonathan, how about you do it this year?
- 1:07Speaker 2: Oh?
- 1:07Speaker 5: Let me tell you this draft has been going on
- 1:10Speaker 5: for many a year and uh bas right, yeah, and
- 1:16Speaker 5: then I hopped on what a season after? But anyway,
- 1:19Speaker 5: the way this whole thing started was p D. You
- 1:22Speaker 5: ordered a trophy and it was supposed to say, like
- 1:26Speaker 5: the Survivor League win or whatever you had it say,
- 1:29Speaker 5: but the trophy shop sent you the wrong trophy and
- 1:34Speaker 5: you instead received a trophy that said Jody Newell won
- 1:38Speaker 5: a like a credit union chili took off.
- 1:41Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yeah, I remember the name of the bank,
- 1:44Speaker 4: but I won't say it this time.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't wanna, We don't want to, Jody.
- 1:48Speaker 5: So in other words, we then named the the whole
- 1:52Speaker 5: league after the wonderful missus Jody Noodle Newell.
- 1:59Speaker 3: I'm I'm gonna start calling the trophy the Jody Noodle.
- 2:06Speaker 2: It's all part of my play. Guys.
- 2:08Speaker 5: So she is who we named the draft after. And
- 2:12Speaker 5: so what we do, pet if you want to explain
- 2:15Speaker 5: like the snake draft method, you're a sports guy, you know,
- 2:18Speaker 5: explain how this thing is.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Sure, we've got a wheel with all of our names
- 2:21Speaker 3: in it. We're gonna spin it and get the order.
- 2:23Speaker 3: The first person obviously they'll get the first pick. Then
- 2:27Speaker 3: we go to the fourth who will pick twice, and
- 2:31Speaker 3: then it goes in reverse order.
- 2:32Speaker 5: One thing real quick before the draft happens, which is
- 2:35Speaker 5: the math that was that you sent us in the
- 2:38Speaker 5: chat saying someone else did the math for US p D.
- 2:41Speaker 5: The fact that Chase has gone last every season so
- 2:45Speaker 5: far is correct?
- 2:46Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 2:47Speaker 4: Point zero three?
- 2:49Speaker 3: Yeah point is a point point zero three two.
- 2:53Speaker 4: Maybe I think it's what they said.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty I'm a statistical anomaly. So what happens
- 2:58Speaker 2: if he goes last again?
- 3:00Speaker 4: A lot of pressure on this. I don't know if
- 3:02Speaker 4: you should buy a lottery ticket or never buy.
- 3:05Speaker 3: A lot of Yeah, let's just put it on the
- 3:07Speaker 3: record brand. Do you think it's gonna happen? Do you
- 3:09Speaker 3: think it's gonna happen again?
- 3:10Speaker 4: I think this is the year that things get shaken up.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Yeah, because I mean it's so crazy that it's happened
- 3:17Speaker 3: every time.
- 3:17Speaker 1: And also, I don't know if this is worth You've
- 3:19Speaker 1: done the spinning every year, Chase, No, not every year.
- 3:24Speaker 4: P D has also done it sometimes I gave it
- 3:25Speaker 4: a spind one time a spin.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Well, I'm giving it to spend this time.
- 3:28Speaker 1: So I'm gonna I'm gonna give it my best, go Chase,
- 3:32Speaker 1: to try to get you out a last See what happens?
- 3:34Speaker 2: Man?
- 3:35Speaker 4: Are you ready to spend that wheel? Let's do it?
- 3:42Speaker 2: Oh dude, so much pressure here we go?
- 3:45Speaker 4: Oh man, it's not gonna be me way, all right, brand.
- 3:50Speaker 2: You get a draft.
- 3:51Speaker 1: First.
- 3:53Speaker 3: When the wheel starts spinning, my heart rate did actually
- 3:56Speaker 3: go up. This matters to me too much.
- 4:00Speaker 2: It's like I feel like.
- 4:01Speaker 5: I'm watching the premiere of something important. You know, Yeah,
- 4:06Speaker 5: this is our Oppenheimer.
- 4:08Speaker 4: It feels a bit like cheating. Why don't make your
- 4:15Speaker 4: pokes spinish, I'm.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Not gonna brands about the Sorry, I'm sorry, Okay, all right,
- 4:23Speaker 1: up next, I.
- 4:25Speaker 4: Mean, we know what you're gonna do.
- 4:26Speaker 2: But no, no.
- 4:29Speaker 4: Way, this is ridiculous.
- 4:33Speaker 2: Let's go right, wheel tools crazy.
- 4:41Speaker 4: We are looking at a wheel now that is fifty
- 4:43Speaker 4: to fifty Now it's a Pokemon ball.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Actually, due, there's no way, there is no way crazy. Last,
- 4:51Speaker 3: is it gonna happen for the sixth time in a row?
- 4:54Speaker 2: Third, I'm no, oh way, oh my god, there's no
- 5:02Speaker 2: way that that's happened. We looked up the stats. It
- 5:06Speaker 2: was like a point zero zero zero two percent chance
- 5:08Speaker 2: of this even happened.
- 5:09Speaker 3: And three different people who have spun it, so it's
- 5:12Speaker 3: not rigged, like we've all seen the brand.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Just spun the wheel. Don't get it? How is that possum?
- 5:20Speaker 1: Not?
- 5:21Speaker 2: We go, let's get into it thin train. I don't
- 5:26Speaker 2: even know what to say about that. That's kind of easy,
- 5:29Speaker 2: all right.
- 5:30Speaker 3: And now on the clock is Brandon Gray and the Blindsiders.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Yes, I am gonna go with I. I flip flopped
- 5:40Speaker 2: on who I wanted number one between.
- 5:43Speaker 4: Two people because trashy AND's gone Yes, both on Red Tribe,
- 5:49Speaker 4: both on Oulie.
- 5:52Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with one of them though, because of
- 5:55Speaker 1: them the rules. I'm gonna go with our favorite porter Savannah.
- 6:01Speaker 4: Dang it, dude, so famously she will be coming back
- 6:04Speaker 4: for fifty.
- 6:06Speaker 2: You want me to do?
- 6:08Speaker 3: I was hoping you would go with Rizzo, but this
- 6:11Speaker 3: sucks the door wide open for me to take a
- 6:16Speaker 3: journey with the riz God.
- 6:18Speaker 4: Yeah, taken Rizzo. I thought that was a great move.
- 6:21Speaker 4: P d If I'm gonna be honest, he's on fifty,
- 6:24Speaker 4: so shut up.
- 6:26Speaker 2: One wrong, gentleman.
- 6:29Speaker 4: Sucks. There's like two obvious picks and I picked one
- 6:32Speaker 4: of them and it was a dumb move. Get the
- 6:33Speaker 4: fuck out of your chick. I'm just saying, I think
- 6:36Speaker 4: we all understand that riz God is coming back for fifty,
- 6:39Speaker 4: not because he's a winner, but personality higher.
- 6:42Speaker 5: Yes, gentlemen, I've prepared a little, a little typed out thing.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I forgot about it. Oh yeah, I've this
- 6:50Speaker 2: out because I want to. I want to go Jonathan
- 6:52Speaker 2: big screen to fully taken me.
- 6:55Speaker 3: And Brand ruin any part of the plan thought. No, okay,
- 6:59Speaker 3: I oh no, no, Jonathan, have for your stupid idea.
- 7:02Speaker 5: Oh here's a little speech I prepared for y'all. I've
- 7:06Speaker 5: grown tired, tired of a typical draft. I want to
- 7:11Speaker 5: be known as a game changer, gentlemen. I want to
- 7:14Speaker 5: be known as a villain.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Oh.
- 7:17Speaker 5: I want to live in infamy on this podcast. So
- 7:20Speaker 5: allow me to explain my thought plan. Step one, I
- 7:24Speaker 5: talk about my plan for weeks ahead. I plant the
- 7:28Speaker 5: seeds of my master plan along the way leading up
- 7:31Speaker 5: to the show. This began with simple group texts to you,
- 7:34Speaker 5: simple individual text to each of you, talking about how
- 7:37Speaker 5: excited I was for my plan.
- 7:39Speaker 4: I think I ever got an individual text or whatever.
- 7:41Speaker 5: No, I didn't text you Brand because I didn't think
- 7:43Speaker 5: you'd fall for it. I didn't think you'd fall for it, Okay.
- 7:47Speaker 5: I just would say simple things like I'm excited, well
- 7:50Speaker 5: before the draft was happening. I may others feel as
- 7:52Speaker 5: if I'm overthinking the whole thing, and this leads them
- 7:56Speaker 5: to using valuable time and mental efforts to guess my
- 7:59Speaker 5: game plan and meaning to. Ultimately, they spend more energy
- 8:03Speaker 5: on their drafting thoughts to overcompensate for it. I plant
- 8:07Speaker 5: seeds along the way in the podcast. Once the season starts,
- 8:10Speaker 5: I drop fake hints, wild goose hunts, fake Patreon chat
- 8:15Speaker 5: hints that were.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Never in the chat ever called by or night you
- 8:19Speaker 2: called it.
- 8:20Speaker 5: But Chase still spent time in the hospital with his
- 8:23Speaker 5: wife looking through that chat, thinking Jonathan might have done something.
- 8:30Speaker 2: It looking Yeah, And so here's the thing, guys. There
- 8:34Speaker 2: are fake.
- 8:34Speaker 5: Idols all along the way right like my team. Look,
- 8:38Speaker 5: fake idols happen right. Step two is I understand my
- 8:43Speaker 5: own weakness, gentlemen, My weakness is me.
- 8:47Speaker 2: I'm my weakness.
- 8:49Speaker 5: I've lost every season other than the one with Kristen,
- 8:52Speaker 5: but now I'm on my own. So how do I
- 8:54Speaker 5: eliminate the very essence of who I am?
- 8:57Speaker 2: Step three?
- 8:59Speaker 5: Eliminate simple math, any statistical analysis, anything like that. They
- 9:03Speaker 5: did not work for me in the past. They are
- 9:05Speaker 5: all dead to me. I have killed all of those methods.
- 9:08Speaker 5: Step four, I find a simplified way to eliminate myself
- 9:13Speaker 5: from the equations, stir up the villain story arc, make
- 9:16Speaker 5: you three angry by rolling this twenty sided dice.
- 9:22Speaker 4: You called it p D. You know it's gonna be
- 9:23Speaker 4: some id you said D D Wow. I did say
- 9:27Speaker 4: it was gonna be some stupid D and D things.
- 9:29Speaker 5: I have a twenty sided dice, gentlemen, I have a
- 9:31Speaker 5: twenty sixteen players.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you think I didn't think that through.
- 9:36Speaker 4: Everything's accounted for in the plan thought brand dude.
- 9:39Speaker 2: I mean you think I'm so. It's not the brand thought,
- 9:41Speaker 2: it's plan thought. I have this twenty sided dice.
- 9:45Speaker 5: If I roll a twenty, a natural twenty in the
- 9:49Speaker 5: world of D and D, I get to pick whoever
- 9:51Speaker 5: I want in that moment.
- 9:53Speaker 2: If I roll a one, you guys get to pick
- 9:56Speaker 2: the next player. What all right? All right?
- 9:59Speaker 5: If I roll anywhere between a two and a sixteen,
- 10:02Speaker 5: I have to take that player.
- 10:04Speaker 2: This is about seventeen eighteen or nineteen seventeen. I call
- 10:08Speaker 2: it the Sweet seventeen. I reroll it.
- 10:11Speaker 5: If I roll an eighteen, I reroll it and subtract one.
- 10:15Speaker 5: If I roll a nineteen, I reroll it and subtract two.
- 10:18Speaker 5: All right, all right, okay, all right, whatever, So a
- 10:22Speaker 5: lot of the equations, I.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Can't wait for you to roll one. Roll one, we
- 10:26Speaker 2: pick your player. But if you roll a twenty, just
- 10:28Speaker 2: pick who you wanted to pick. Yeah, I just pick ye. Now,
- 10:31Speaker 2: what happens if you roll a four and that person's
- 10:32Speaker 2: already been taken?
- 10:34Speaker 5: Great question, Chase, I'm so glad you asked that question.
- 10:36Speaker 5: If that person's already taken, I round up. Now let's
- 10:39Speaker 5: say that there's like multiple people around and it's like
- 10:42Speaker 5: split between I have to go to the next closest number.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Okay. Oh, and also, how did you apply numbers to
- 10:48Speaker 2: the players I just grabbed.
- 10:50Speaker 5: I literally googled their names through them in Wow. So
- 10:53Speaker 5: I didn't plan for the plan thought was just eliminated.
- 10:58Speaker 2: My basically a wheel.
- 11:00Speaker 5: It's basically get you guys so nervous heading towards the draft,
- 11:05Speaker 5: and then completely throw you for a loop by adding
- 11:08Speaker 5: unpredictability to what I will take.
- 11:11Speaker 4: And I mean, you pick at random, and that's supposed
- 11:12Speaker 4: to make you win.
- 11:14Speaker 5: Well, here's why I think this is an excellent choice
- 11:16Speaker 5: because if I win, it means that all of your
- 11:19Speaker 5: wins are meaningless because I could have done it at random.
- 11:23Speaker 5: If I lose, it means I did do something and
- 11:26Speaker 5: did contribute to something last season, which is why we won.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right, all right, I'm rolling. I'm rolling.
- 11:35Speaker 2: I'm rolling. I'm rolling. Okay, here we go. I have
- 11:37Speaker 2: rolled four. I've rolled a four. What does that mean?
- 11:42Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm taking Jason, small guy Jason, Jason.
- 11:47Speaker 2: I love, I'll uh.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Jason was number four on my most wanted list. I'm
- 11:56Speaker 1: pretty high on Jason and Jonathan. To be honest with you, dude,
- 12:00Speaker 1: I cannot believe I draft Snake.
- 12:03Speaker 4: It's time for It's the twice annual Chase Snake. This
- 12:09Speaker 4: is just ridiculous.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Guys.
- 12:11Speaker 4: I draft last every single time, and this is what
- 12:13Speaker 4: I do.
- 12:14Speaker 1: I panic because I have to draft twice in a row,
- 12:17Speaker 1: and so I try to overcompensate because obviously the person
- 12:20Speaker 1: I wanted with Savannah I would have taken Rizzo.
- 12:23Speaker 2: I might have even taken a small, small guy Jason.
- 12:26Speaker 4: But now I have to pick two people out of
- 12:30Speaker 4: who I have left two people out of thirteen.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but you know what I mean.
- 12:36Speaker 4: Okay, Rachel was a third round pick. Kyle is the
- 12:39Speaker 4: third round pick. Come on Chase.
- 12:41Speaker 2: I know, I know, I'm gonna pick Jeremiah.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Okay, play the wow. Oh yeah, wow, Okay, hold on,
- 12:50Speaker 1: I say it one more time. I'm gonna pick Jeremiah.
- 13:00Speaker 1: You know what, I don't think it's a bad pick.
- 13:01Speaker 1: I like it.
- 13:02Speaker 4: It's an evil villain energy.
- 13:03Speaker 2: He was one that I really wrestled with.
- 13:05Speaker 1: I ended up putting him fourteenth on my list, but
- 13:09Speaker 1: I could have very easily put him forth on my list. See,
- 13:11Speaker 1: it's a real curveball, an interesting pick for your career,
- 13:16Speaker 1: and I'm gonna follow it up with another I think
- 13:18Speaker 1: interesting pick.
- 13:19Speaker 4: My next draft pick is Stephen ram WHOA Okay, he
- 13:24Speaker 4: strikes me as an old school winner. He's that same
- 13:28Speaker 4: kind of vibe as like a uh, you know, the
- 13:31Speaker 4: kind of nerdy strategic player that you don't really see
- 13:34Speaker 4: a whole lot of it first, maybe a little maybe
- 13:36Speaker 4: a Cochrane or a Carson.
- 13:39Speaker 3: There's any Carson energy in there, the big Carson, because
- 13:43Speaker 3: there's definite Ryan Reynolds energy. Also, Yeah, if he does
- 13:46Speaker 3: have Carson energy, it means he's gonna start a podcast
- 13:48Speaker 3: with Carolyn, only for it to get canceled and then
- 13:51Speaker 3: Carolyn to start a podcast with Yama.
- 13:53Speaker 4: Yeah, also to peel back a curtain a little bit
- 13:57Speaker 4: about my Stephen Ram. Pick I thought my strategy for
- 14:00Speaker 4: this was, like, maybe I should pick someone on one
- 14:02Speaker 4: of the winning tribes from these early episodes that we
- 14:04Speaker 4: haven't seen a whole lot of, but they've made sure
- 14:07Speaker 4: to give them some screen time, and I think Stephen
- 14:10Speaker 4: Ram falls into that category pretty well. All right, let's
- 14:13Speaker 4: see what the dice is gonna do.
- 14:14Speaker 2: What will the dice say? We're gonna roll it. Oh, guys,
- 14:19Speaker 2: I just got a natural twenty, which means we also
- 14:22Speaker 2: just have to take your word for it.
- 14:24Speaker 5: Yeah that's true, but I don't know. You want me
- 14:26Speaker 5: to show you at dice that means I get to
- 14:30Speaker 5: So I'm going to take.
- 14:33Speaker 2: I'm just gonna take. I'm gonna take Jake Wow, the
- 14:38Speaker 2: Shoe Bandit. I'm gonna take the Shoe band It. I
- 14:40Speaker 2: like them.
- 14:41Speaker 3: And that leaves me with somebody that I wanted because
- 14:45Speaker 3: last time I drafted a Cuban woman, they worked out
- 14:47Speaker 3: very well for me.
- 14:48Speaker 4: Give me Baldy, whoa wow. I was gonna I was
- 14:51Speaker 4: gonna try to take Baldi.
- 14:52Speaker 1: I said in a pinch, what you said, Chase about
- 14:58Speaker 1: screen time on Winning Tribes is one of the things
- 15:02Speaker 1: that makes me nervous, nervous about this next pick because
- 15:05Speaker 1: we just haven't heard much from her, but we've seen
- 15:08Speaker 1: a lot of her, and what we've seen is dominant,
- 15:12Speaker 1: somebody that if they get to the merge, could be
- 15:15Speaker 1: a challenge beast I'm talking about.
- 15:18Speaker 2: You know, I'm a part of it. You're the good pick.
- 15:22Speaker 4: And now, who is going to be Brand's second pick?
- 15:26Speaker 2: Here? So far all women team from Brand?
- 15:29Speaker 4: WHOA that's appealing.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Oh, I'm just gonna go with who I have next
- 15:39Speaker 1: on my list. I thought about switching it up, but
- 15:40Speaker 1: I'm not going to. I'm gonna go with Christina Mills.
- 15:44Speaker 4: Okay.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Interesting.
- 15:46Speaker 4: I think Christina Mills is somebody who is maybe not
- 15:51Speaker 4: maybe not the challenge Beast of MC, but is very charismatic,
- 15:57Speaker 4: very likable, could thrive on this ocial game. Give me
- 16:01Speaker 4: Christina Mills.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I know what you're talking about. Now, she
- 16:04Speaker 1: has not gotten a lot of screen not a lot
- 16:07Speaker 1: of screen time. Yeah, I'm gonna join Brand because I'm
- 16:10Speaker 1: back on the clock. I'm going to join him in
- 16:12Speaker 1: being part of the m c U. I'm gonna do
- 16:13Speaker 1: it with Nate Moore.
- 16:15Speaker 2: Dang, I like that. Pick? What else did he do?
- 16:20Speaker 4: Spider Man two?
- 16:21Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 16:22Speaker 1: And the Captain America, the newest Captain America something Ye,
- 16:25Speaker 1: Brave New World. Something tells me that him producing that
- 16:28Speaker 1: movie is why he's a former more.
- 16:31Speaker 4: I wanted Nate because I feel like they they give
- 16:34Speaker 4: time for his perspective even though they don't. They haven't
- 16:38Speaker 4: focused on the Red Tribe that much. That's good call.
- 16:40Speaker 4: And he's in a powerful alliance and he was, you know,
- 16:44Speaker 4: a pa on Spider Man two.
- 16:47Speaker 5: All right, Dice Boy, all right, dice Boy's rolling and
- 16:51Speaker 5: dice Boy rolled a three.
- 16:53Speaker 2: Witch is a player.
- 16:57Speaker 5: I already picked Jake, so I'm gonna roll one more time,
- 17:00Speaker 5: and dice Boy rolled Juwan.
- 17:02Speaker 1: Oops, okay, Jacob Jwan not a bad picky Jonathan. You
- 17:08Speaker 1: have only drafted people with the J in that I
- 17:10Speaker 1: don't know, and I don't know. Wow, that's Jeremiah.
- 17:19Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. I was just the last J on
- 17:21Speaker 2: the board, so somehow I have to roll it crazy,
- 17:24Speaker 2: how weird?
- 17:24Speaker 1: And he can do?
- 17:26Speaker 2: Do you like that? Pick Jonathan?
- 17:27Speaker 5: I'm not opposed to jan I actually liked him a lot.
- 17:30Speaker 5: In episode two. I thought when he kind of doubled
- 17:33Speaker 5: down on his punishment towards the other tribe, and I
- 17:37Speaker 5: thought it was a pretty smart move for him to
- 17:40Speaker 5: go back with the full tribe reward after kind of
- 17:44Speaker 5: having uh, you know, the moment where he filled the
- 17:47Speaker 5: backpack with twigs and dirt.
- 17:49Speaker 2: So I'm pretty good with this. I like all three
- 17:51Speaker 2: of the people I've got so far.
- 17:54Speaker 4: Okay, draft twice in a row, Yes, you do your
- 17:58Speaker 4: final two picks. See, this is where it sucks being
- 18:02Speaker 4: the last draft pick, because you mean the spot that
- 18:07Speaker 4: you took Rachel in, which is right here. Yeah, I know,
- 18:10Speaker 4: but that was an accident, you know what I'm saying, Like,
- 18:12Speaker 4: this is just a hard spot to be in because
- 18:14Speaker 4: I have to just pick my last two picks.
- 18:16Speaker 1: So I catch people up to speed. Who we have
- 18:18Speaker 1: left is Sophie SIGGRETTI we have Matt old Man, Matt DC,
- 18:26Speaker 1: Alex Sage, Shannon.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Is that it? Yeah?
- 18:31Speaker 4: Okay, So on my list of players I wanted to draft,
- 18:35Speaker 4: I've only got two left. Everybody else has been taking,
- 18:38Speaker 4: so I could just take these two the fe people
- 18:41Speaker 4: you want when you have two picks left. Yep, sounds
- 18:43Speaker 4: like an easy decision. It does seem like an easy decision,
- 18:46Speaker 4: except I think I'm gonna make a last minute last
- 18:49Speaker 4: I'm going to I brought my own diuys. The person
- 18:52Speaker 4: that I wanted next is Sigarette, So I'm gonna take Sigrette.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Okay. I like that pick.
- 18:56Speaker 1: It's a great pick. And this is where I'm going
- 18:58Speaker 1: to change it up a little bit. I think I'm
- 19:00Speaker 1: going to take Shannon Wow, Okay, survivor of bar Insane
- 19:06Speaker 1: pick es the crab. Yeah, because my thought process is
- 19:11Speaker 1: maybe because she prayed over that crab, that crab is
- 19:15Speaker 1: spirit is going to help her win the game.
- 19:17Speaker 4: She was last on my list. I don't know if
- 19:20Speaker 4: it's come across.
- 19:20Speaker 1: I'm pretty low on I thought I thought of taking
- 19:24Speaker 1: this could be what cost me the whole game. I
- 19:26Speaker 1: thought about taking Alex because he has the beware advantage,
- 19:31Speaker 1: but I decided I don't really like Alex that much. Yeah, sir,
- 19:34Speaker 1: I think the thing like, Shannon's not the first of
- 19:37Speaker 1: the like mystic type person to play the game, and
- 19:41Speaker 1: they never do super great in my recollection, right, and.
- 19:45Speaker 2: That's why I'm lower on her. But there's the first
- 19:48Speaker 2: time for the first time for everything that's right.
- 19:51Speaker 4: Who's dice boy Dice King.
- 19:56Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, here we go. Last role boys. I've rolled,
- 20:04Speaker 5: I rolled Sage, so I guess.
- 20:05Speaker 4: Okay, got me?
- 20:08Speaker 2: Wow, you we're gonna leave brand I have to take
- 20:13Speaker 2: her now.
- 20:13Speaker 4: Wow? Okay, I said I would go. Tell me who's
- 20:17Speaker 4: left Matt.
- 20:18Speaker 6: Old Man, Matt and d C Alex two decent pis okay,
- 20:26Speaker 6: because that's why it's not He's not the Marvel Moore,
- 20:31Speaker 6: not Marvel Moore.
- 20:33Speaker 3: I have to take Matt here, and it's an edit reason.
- 20:37Speaker 3: And I feel like Alex has been way overexposed these
- 20:41Speaker 3: first two. He's got more time than anybody. That's usually
- 20:44Speaker 3: not a good thing.
- 20:45Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you. I probably would have done
- 20:48Speaker 1: the same thing if I were in your shoes. But
- 20:50Speaker 1: I'm left with with d C Alex.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Was I call something that Alex was the fine like
- 20:54Speaker 2: was the last pick? Yeah?
- 20:56Speaker 1: But you know what, he is one of those guys
- 20:58Speaker 1: that I'd be pretty surprised if he ended up winning
- 21:02Speaker 1: the whole thing.
- 21:03Speaker 2: I won't be surprised if he makes six far far. Yeah.
- 21:08Speaker 2: He reminds me of Gabe in that season.
- 21:10Speaker 4: Yeah, who I reached on, Like, I.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Think I think Alex is a pretty like smart player,
- 21:17Speaker 1: but I he's I don't think there's a road for him.
- 21:22Speaker 4: Win trashy Annie about his advantage kind of yeah.
- 21:25Speaker 2: Ee.
- 21:25Speaker 4: When I looked at the list and I saw you
- 21:27Speaker 4: at twenty one confessionals, it's like, don't pick that guy.
- 21:29Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, corect let's all go and share our team,
- 21:33Speaker 1: shall we? For the people at home, I have Savannah Brands, Blindsiders, Brands,
- 21:38Speaker 1: blindsiders who I think the patrons are going to get
- 21:41Speaker 1: to pick their teams that they want to kind of
- 21:43Speaker 1: alive rive after this episode post and I'm already anticipating
- 21:48Speaker 1: a lot of interest from Thecausevannah, Savannah, but also MC,
- 21:54Speaker 1: the MCU guys, Christina Mills, which is a little bit
- 21:58Speaker 1: of a flyer. You just take players that you did
- 22:00Speaker 1: the previews on, So yeah, did you just realize do
- 22:07Speaker 1: you think maybe it's because you're biased because you learned more? Well,
- 22:09Speaker 1: I wasn't planning on taking Alex More, I'll say that, yeah,
- 22:13Speaker 1: But Savannah was my number one pick, MC was my
- 22:16Speaker 1: number three pick, and Christy was my number five pick.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Maybe that played into it, but it is what it is.
- 22:22Speaker 6: What it is.
- 22:22Speaker 2: That's my team. I like that squad guys.
- 22:25Speaker 3: Now that I know this, I'm gonna start like strategically
- 22:28Speaker 3: handing out as a sign. Okay, My team, the journeys
- 22:34Speaker 3: we have the ri is God himself, he is Risen.
- 22:38Speaker 3: We got Baldy in the mix, Sophie Baldy, Nate Moore
- 22:42Speaker 3: and Ramp ramp agent Matt I about to call him ramp.
- 22:48Speaker 4: That rampage, Matt.
- 22:53Speaker 2: I love it.
- 22:55Speaker 5: My team that I ever so strategically picked is Jake, Jason,
- 23:00Speaker 5: Juwan and our Queen sage.
- 23:04Speaker 2: All right, Queen Queen.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Our peak, God Save our Queen chases fake idols. Is
- 23:11Speaker 1: the team that consists of Jeremiah.
- 23:16Speaker 4: You're gonna keep going.
- 23:20Speaker 2: It again. I'll do it again.
- 23:21Speaker 4: Okay, there is every time we say his name, it's
- 23:25Speaker 4: like when lightning strikes.
- 23:28Speaker 1: My team chases fake idols consists of Jeremiah.
- 23:36Speaker 2: That's some thunder, thunder and lightning. H Stephen, Ram Sogretti
- 23:45Speaker 2: and Shannon. Interesting teams, guys, very Let's let's talk.
- 23:51Speaker 1: About them a little bit. First thing, First, p D,
- 23:56Speaker 1: you're one of the greatest of all time of our draft.
- 23:59Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 24:00Speaker 3: You've won twice or three times. I've won twice. I
- 24:03Speaker 3: was the runner up two different times as well.
- 24:05Speaker 1: I would an interesting uh change here for EPD only
- 24:09Speaker 1: one female?
- 24:11Speaker 3: Yeah, because after you took the I had one two
- 24:15Speaker 3: that I really wanted. I got one of them, but
- 24:17Speaker 3: one belongs to Brand.
- 24:18Speaker 4: Well.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Women aren't property, so I know the draft they're all property,
- 24:22Speaker 1: you dumbass. But what I wanted to say PD is
- 24:26Speaker 1: you make really good draft decisions, famously very good at
- 24:30Speaker 1: the draft.
- 24:30Speaker 4: Even when you don't win, you still end up in
- 24:32Speaker 4: the finals, always in the playoffs. I think you made
- 24:34Speaker 4: a big mistake with your first draft pick Riz God.
- 24:37Speaker 4: Do you disagree? Yeah? I disagree because that's another person
- 24:40Speaker 4: I have the chance of taking for next year automatically.
- 24:42Speaker 1: Oh so you were thinking ahead of for the fifty
- 24:45Speaker 1: draft you can now I now have him as an
- 24:48Speaker 1: option if I want it.
- 24:49Speaker 2: That's really interesting.
- 24:51Speaker 1: My big concern here, guys, is that if I win
- 24:54Speaker 1: with Savannah, it's not going to get the respected to
- 24:57Speaker 1: serve it.
- 24:58Speaker 4: Wills the thing that we were all gonna do, like
- 25:01Speaker 4: we all were either.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Going to pick Savannah or risk God.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Because it's been lead fifty and I'm worried that I'm
- 25:08Speaker 1: not going to get the respect.
- 25:10Speaker 5: My theory that I communicated to Chase on the Sanctuary.
- 25:13Speaker 5: Is that neither of them win this season.
- 25:16Speaker 2: I think that's a possibility.
- 25:17Speaker 5: I think it's interesting because would the producers take somebody
- 25:22Speaker 5: who just won survivor put them right back on the
- 25:26Speaker 5: island to win it again back to back seasons.
- 25:30Speaker 2: I don't know. We don't know if the winner would
- 25:32Speaker 2: even want to do it again. Yeah, Rachel, they would
- 25:35Speaker 2: be going straight back, back to back.
- 25:38Speaker 4: As I would say, Rachel turned it down. I think
- 25:40Speaker 4: I'm assumed that they called her for fifty. I would
- 25:43Speaker 4: assume so as well. But yeah, yeah, maybe not Allen
- 25:46Speaker 4: come back.
- 25:46Speaker 5: Well that these two are just fan favorites that played
- 25:49Speaker 5: really good this season but not coming back and they're
- 25:52Speaker 5: not or they are.
- 25:53Speaker 2: Coming back and they're not the winners, and we.
- 25:56Speaker 4: Will find out in eleven weeks.
- 25:58Speaker 2: But so stay tuned.
- 26:00Speaker 3: But the one thing about the thing I said about
- 26:04Speaker 3: having the rights to Rizzo for the fifty draft, we
- 26:07Speaker 3: we were gonna have a clause where if you have
- 26:09Speaker 3: a returning player, you get first DIBs on them in
- 26:12Speaker 3: the first round. If you don't take them in the
- 26:14Speaker 3: first round, they're released into the pool.
- 26:15Speaker 2: And PD already has a lot of returning place.
- 26:18Speaker 4: Rizzo will now be I will have five people. Wow,
- 26:21Speaker 4: coming back think about that, that was a great strategic move. Actually,
- 26:23Speaker 4: my bad for insinuating that.
- 26:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I think through these things also, the Survivor it's
- 26:30Speaker 3: the Jodi Neuwle draft. I gotta put some thought into it,
- 26:32Speaker 3: or a plan, not a plan, thought, but some thoughts.
- 26:35Speaker 3: You don't have to, you do have to, you don't.
- 26:38Speaker 3: I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I
- 26:40Speaker 3: didn't put it like a baby, because you put zero
- 26:44Speaker 3: thought it right, So you just said you put all
- 26:48Speaker 3: of your thinking was towards like the perception of your plan.
- 26:52Speaker 4: Well not necessarily.
- 26:53Speaker 1: The plan itself was to bother you guys, and it
- 26:57Speaker 1: did and it bothered y'all deeply.
- 26:59Speaker 3: It bothered me because I was like, Jonathan is just
- 27:01Speaker 3: gonna do something stupid, and he's wasting all of our time.
- 27:04Speaker 5: And I was right, you were thinking about it. You
- 27:06Speaker 5: were thinking about me, Chase, you were thinking about me.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Convinced me I thought you actually had something.
- 27:12Speaker 3: We were all forced to think about it because you
- 27:14Speaker 3: wouldn't shut up.
- 27:15Speaker 2: I couldn't shut up. That was the whole plan. I
- 27:19Speaker 2: am glad to get you there.
- 27:20Speaker 1: I could not be more thankful for your dumb dice. Yeah,
- 27:25Speaker 1: for me and onto your team. Well, let's really break
- 27:28Speaker 1: down Jonathan's team real quick. You have Jason.
- 27:31Speaker 3: Yeah, but I like the This is why I Jason
- 27:34Speaker 3: was a hard no for me. He got nothing in
- 27:37Speaker 3: episode two.
- 27:39Speaker 2: I mean, Rachel didn't get a ton on every episode,
- 27:41Speaker 2: but she got.
- 27:42Speaker 4: At least one confessional in the first two.
- 27:45Speaker 2: I did feel like I remember early on it was
- 27:48Speaker 2: she had five and then one.
- 27:49Speaker 4: Well, because Rachel's game didn't heat up until about halfway
- 27:52Speaker 4: through the game, Rachel had one confessional in the second episode.
- 27:55Speaker 4: But to my knowledge, a winner has never been zeroed
- 27:57Speaker 4: in the first two. Yeah, it's pretty Look.
- 28:01Speaker 3: Jonathan took a small guy, Jason. I think that got
- 28:05Speaker 3: one of the zeros, and there's another zero. You then took,
- 28:08Speaker 3: took Jonathan then took.
- 28:11Speaker 2: I feel all right about Jake too. I think he's
- 28:13Speaker 2: like I think like that.
- 28:16Speaker 5: Jake is kind of playing an interesting blend of a
- 28:21Speaker 5: little bit mischievous but also genuinely likable, and so the
- 28:26Speaker 5: only issue with Jake is the issue with all the
- 28:28Speaker 5: big guys immediate threat unless you're someone like Joe. But
- 28:32Speaker 5: even then, Joe didn't win the game, but there's not
- 28:35Speaker 5: like a big guy like uh over, you know, over
- 28:40Speaker 5: inventory at this point right, like there's there's really only Jake,
- 28:44Speaker 5: So there is kind of the thought of do they
- 28:46Speaker 5: al is.
- 28:47Speaker 4: A big guy, Alex is a big guy, but that's
- 28:49Speaker 4: whether they love each other so much. The other zero
- 28:52Speaker 4: from episode two, Christina was Christina.
- 28:56Speaker 2: Wow, interesting, that.
- 28:58Speaker 4: Makes sense, but then I didn't. Then Jonathan took Juwan, which.
- 29:04Speaker 2: Interesting move. Yeah, I don't know if it's a bad pick.
- 29:07Speaker 4: What do you think, guys, I mean he's I think he,
- 29:11Speaker 4: based off of what we've seen, is gonna be around
- 29:14Speaker 4: at least until merge.
- 29:15Speaker 1: Yeah, something of of interest. You did you say that
- 29:20Speaker 1: Rachel's count was five episode one one.
- 29:22Speaker 4: Episode two, and that's Stevens as well.
- 29:24Speaker 2: That's Stevens as well Stephen Ram.
- 29:26Speaker 1: Yeah, uh so the reason I picked Steve and we
- 29:29Speaker 1: can get into my team, which I did get staged.
- 29:31Speaker 2: But we don't have to talk about it.
- 29:33Speaker 4: It's very a good bit.
- 29:34Speaker 3: I looked at all the winners confessionalccounts through the first
- 29:37Speaker 3: two episodes for the past five seasons. Yeah, it did
- 29:40Speaker 3: very so it's it's pretty unpredictable, but nobody got a zero.
- 29:43Speaker 4: Interesting, because that's what that was my strategy going in,
- 29:46Speaker 4: was who is someone from the winning tribes who we
- 29:49Speaker 4: haven't seen a lot of, but they made sure to
- 29:52Speaker 4: get some screen time.
- 29:53Speaker 3: And like one thing about like, don't don't pick Yellow.
- 29:56Speaker 3: I know some people were saying, like, there's no way
- 29:57Speaker 3: the winners from Yellow. Well, Orange was barely represented last year,
- 30:01Speaker 3: and Kyle was on Orange.
- 30:03Speaker 2: Yeah, and Mitch made it really far too and he
- 30:05Speaker 2: played hard to get out of that too.
- 30:07Speaker 3: I don't think you can just tell from the edit, No,
- 30:09Speaker 3: I think they switch it up enough that but I
- 30:12Speaker 3: am pretty confident that if somebody gets zeroed out, they're done.
- 30:16Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I feel the same way Stephen Ram.
- 30:19Speaker 4: I picked Jeremiah first because I feel like they've made
- 30:22Speaker 4: him into such a fun character. He's getting specialty background
- 30:25Speaker 4: music for his confessionals, and he's on a winning tribe
- 30:28Speaker 4: right now. So I just felt like, you know what,
- 30:30Speaker 4: Jeremiah feels like a good first pick, Stephen Ram. He
- 30:33Speaker 4: just strikes me as the type of player that would
- 30:35Speaker 4: have won in like season twenty eight.
- 30:37Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 30:38Speaker 4: He's smart, and he's he's got a three person alliance
- 30:42Speaker 4: right yeah, and he's low key right now because they're
- 30:45Speaker 4: on the winning tribe.
- 30:46Speaker 1: I took Sigretti Detective Sigrette, Detective Siagrette. I feel like
- 30:50Speaker 1: she has a good personality. She kind of strikes me
- 30:52Speaker 1: as a Rachel. We're not seeing much of her.
- 30:55Speaker 4: She does have a big personality on social media, which
- 30:57Speaker 4: leads me to believe that she's a little bit like
- 30:59Speaker 4: a Mary.
- 31:00Speaker 2: It means like maybe she'll go far.
- 31:02Speaker 4: She'll utilize her social media presence to become a fan favorite.
- 31:05Speaker 2: But she might not go all the way. She's invested. Yeah. Yeah.
- 31:09Speaker 3: When I was doing the research on her, I was like,
- 31:10Speaker 3: this is the closest thing I have to a Mary
- 31:12Speaker 3: this season. But nothing touches Mary. But it was just
- 31:16Speaker 3: the closest thing I had to it for forty nine and.
- 31:19Speaker 2: Then I took Shannon.
- 31:20Speaker 4: I was going to take Alex because of his advantage,
- 31:26Speaker 4: but then the fact that he had so many confessionals that.
- 31:30Speaker 2: Played a part.
- 31:31Speaker 1: But also I feel like after we talked about Shannon
- 31:34Speaker 1: and how she's kind of the hippie, the spiritual player,
- 31:38Speaker 1: I think, you know, she's my last pick, but I
- 31:41Speaker 1: feel like maybe she could actually go pretty far in
- 31:43Speaker 1: the game. You know, her parents own the Survivor bar
- 31:47Speaker 1: she's the you know, we don't know how this Survivor
- 31:52Speaker 1: cafe happened, whether it was a plan before and that's
- 31:55Speaker 1: why she's on the show.
- 31:56Speaker 4: Behind the bathroom deal or you know, Pete brought up.
- 32:01Speaker 4: I think it was pet brought up, like did she
- 32:02Speaker 4: win and then that million dollars.
- 32:04Speaker 1: Will actually Will brought her patron Will Yeah, or on
- 32:09Speaker 1: the street reporter in Boston.
- 32:11Speaker 4: It's an interesting one. It's an interesting one.
- 32:14Speaker 2: So yeah, let's talk about brands team.
- 32:16Speaker 1: I mean, I feel I feel a lot better about
- 32:19Speaker 1: this team than I did last year's team.
- 32:21Speaker 2: I think it's a pretty.
- 32:23Speaker 4: Well your forty eight team is bad pretty well, okay,
- 32:27Speaker 4: we allright?
- 32:30Speaker 1: Yeah, Savannah obvious obviously MC is going to be a
- 32:35Speaker 1: challenge base. As long as she can make it to
- 32:36Speaker 1: the merge, I feel confident that she she'll go far.
- 32:39Speaker 1: Christine is the flyer there. It's like somebody who we
- 32:42Speaker 1: haven't obviously we haven't seen much of because she didn't
- 32:44Speaker 1: get any with any confessionals episode two, which is I'm
- 32:49Speaker 1: just not finding that out and that's tough. But uh,
- 32:51Speaker 1: an interesting player. I think she's socially, she's going to
- 32:55Speaker 1: do really well, so she could be like a Siria
- 32:57Speaker 1: who just was such a good player for sure. And
- 33:00Speaker 1: then Alex, who I don't again, I don't anticipate him
- 33:03Speaker 1: going to the finals, but yeah I could see him
- 33:06Speaker 1: going far.
- 33:07Speaker 2: Shit what happens.
- 33:08Speaker 4: I think the comparison to Gabe is pretty spot on.
- 33:10Speaker 4: With Alex, someone who wanted to play so hard doesn't
- 33:13Speaker 4: really get a chance to play that hard. They're out
- 33:15Speaker 4: the door packing if you guys are interested. Kyle ten
- 33:20Speaker 4: in the first episode, three in the second, Rachel five
- 33:23Speaker 4: in the first one in the second, Kinzie five in
- 33:25Speaker 4: the first, ten in the second, D two in both interesting.
- 33:30Speaker 4: So I think that strategy of like not super face forward,
- 33:35Speaker 4: but having some sort of present in those first two
- 33:38Speaker 4: episodes is a good strategy.
- 33:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean D having two and two really throws
- 33:41Speaker 3: you off of what which is why y'all looked at
- 33:45Speaker 3: me like I was crazy when I picked her?
- 33:47Speaker 4: Yeah I did. I think I even said it was
- 33:49Speaker 4: a bad pick.
- 33:51Speaker 2: Hmm.
- 33:52Speaker 4: Well here they are patrons and you can vote now. Yeah,
- 33:56Speaker 4: you can lock in. You can either go with Savannah
- 33:58Speaker 4: or Riz God.
- 33:59Speaker 2: And Josh over on the Patreon.
- 34:03Speaker 4: If you're a patron, there will be a Patreon post
- 34:06Speaker 4: for the paid patrons only, and in that post in
- 34:09Speaker 4: the comments section, you can lock in with one of
- 34:12Speaker 4: the four teams. If you are locked in with the
- 34:15Speaker 4: winning team of this season, you will receive a prize
- 34:19Speaker 4: at the end of the season.
- 34:20Speaker 2: And uh, we we're gonna play.
- 34:25Speaker 3: Yeah, but if they all join Brand Brand wins, we
- 34:29Speaker 3: owe everybody, then that's okay, that's.
- 34:36Speaker 2: On the edge.
- 34:36Speaker 5: You go with the you know, the flint and Stealers,
- 34:41Speaker 5: but you could be one of the few winners if
- 34:44Speaker 5: you go with.
- 34:45Speaker 2: My It's like the Marines, the few, the prowd. That's
- 34:47Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
- 34:48Speaker 1: Imagine if one person back to back to what I
- 34:51Speaker 1: was saying with the rules is, uh, we're obviously gonna
- 34:54Speaker 1: have patrons come in during the season, and so the
- 34:58Speaker 1: way that we're gonna do that is when you join
- 35:00Speaker 1: the Patreon you are allowed to lock in, but we
- 35:04Speaker 1: are going to have a firm cut off when we
- 35:07Speaker 1: get towards the finale the merge.
- 35:09Speaker 2: I think.
- 35:11Speaker 4: You got to get in before the merge or else,
- 35:13Speaker 4: well you can't. The issue with that PD is we
- 35:15Speaker 4: usually get a lot more patrons after no then they'll
- 35:18Speaker 4: know for next season. Get in the club early or
- 35:20Speaker 4: you can't get in making them all right, Well, the
- 35:22Speaker 4: merge is the cutoff because you can be in the Patreon,
- 35:27Speaker 4: but you can't play along. Right. You can be in
- 35:29Speaker 4: the chat, you can get the extra podcast, but you
- 35:32Speaker 4: can't be on a team.
- 35:33Speaker 2: You don't join if you don't get your wallet out.
- 35:40Speaker 4: That was great?
- 35:41Speaker 2: Did you even do that on PD? Hit the table
- 35:43Speaker 2: and get your wallet out? What is going on? All right?
- 35:55Speaker 4: I thought brand did?
- 35:56Speaker 2: I was like, what great? Time was awesome? By turns on?
- 36:01Speaker 2: It's the table try to get.
- 36:09Speaker 4: I'm like a, I'm like an NXT wrestler.
- 36:11Speaker 2: Like all my hands?
- 36:13Speaker 4: What if I did?
- 36:14Speaker 2: That's awesome? Also the table and it was dead nothing.
- 36:19Speaker 2: Is there anything, Jonathan that you'd like to add before
- 36:21Speaker 2: we get out of here? I mean i'd like to
- 36:23Speaker 2: add you know that I think that my plan is
