- 0:35Speaker 2: All I wanted to do is win million. Are in sience?
- 0:38Speaker 2: That's right, goods. We have a theme song.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Now.
- 0:42Speaker 2: My name is Pete.
- 0:43Speaker 6: Welcome to making the Merge. We have a full cast today.
- 0:46Speaker 6: We have Chased Bridges. You have Jonathan, We have Kristen
- 0:50Speaker 6: and Brandon.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Yeah, we have Brandon here. No one asks. I didn't
- 0:58Speaker 2: see anyone ask. I mean I phrased it as a question.
- 1:01Speaker 2: We have Brandon.
- 1:02Speaker 6: But guys, before you know, we're here to talk about
- 1:05Speaker 6: the contestants in the new season. But before we do that,
- 1:08Speaker 6: Jonathan has breaking news. So Jonathan, you have the floor.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:13Speaker 4: H Yeah, this is honestly, uh, I feel like the
- 1:17Speaker 4: best decision for Kristen at this point in the game.
- 1:21Speaker 4: But we've decided to merge our teams. So we're making
- 1:25Speaker 4: the merge. We've merged into one right household team because truthfully,
- 1:31Speaker 4: I felt like I made it further in the game
- 1:33Speaker 4: for most of it than Kristin, and so I thought
- 1:35Speaker 4: it would be a good decision for her. And so
- 1:38Speaker 4: she asked me, and I said, sure, that's fine, baby,
- 1:42Speaker 4: whatever you want.
- 1:44Speaker 7: So here's the second version of that, and got to
- 1:46Speaker 7: choose which one you want to believe.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Yeah, let's hear the true version.
- 1:49Speaker 7: Christ Jonathan was so depressed that he sucked so bad
- 1:54Speaker 7: at drafting players he started crying at the end of
- 1:57Speaker 7: last season. He didn't have anyone the finale, and he
- 2:01Speaker 7: begged me, He was like, please, please let here this.
- 2:04Speaker 4: Is this is Uh. I'm gonna let people hear that
- 2:08Speaker 4: and choose to ignore it, because either way, this is
- 2:12Speaker 4: a mutual thing, is what I'm trying to say. Kristin
- 2:14Speaker 4: and I are mutually merging this team, mostly for both
- 2:18Speaker 4: of our benefits. Because because Kristin is notoriously bad at
- 2:23Speaker 4: the Survivor draft, I mean, Kristen, We're gonna I'm gonna
- 2:26Speaker 4: say she's lost fifty.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Percent of the drafts.
- 2:29Speaker 4: She's done. Wow, you know, is that right?
- 2:32Speaker 2: She's done? It sounds like rougher fail rate. Actually, yeah,
- 2:40Speaker 2: that's pretty hot. Now, what is Jonathan's percentage.
- 2:43Speaker 4: I'm gonna hear you.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Here's here's what I'm gonna say. Guys.
- 2:46Speaker 4: Uh, I'm gonna blame the fact that I lost last
- 2:49Speaker 4: season on Genevieve. I don't know fair enough. I didn't
- 2:53Speaker 4: know how you would receive that as a group. But no,
- 2:56Speaker 4: I agree dropped the ball. She dropped the ball. So
- 2:59Speaker 4: I my loss is actually more of a win because
- 3:03Speaker 4: I didn't want to win with Genevieve anyway.
- 3:05Speaker 6: You know, Wow, a lot of conflicting information here. I
- 3:11Speaker 6: think it's pretty straightforward. Like Jonathan, I would call him
- 3:15Speaker 6: the Cleveland Browns of the making the merged draft, but
- 3:20Speaker 6: he lives in the same house with the Kansas City Chiefs.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Yeah, she's the mother of your child. Yeah yeah, And
- 3:29Speaker 2: that's honestly.
- 3:30Speaker 4: When I put into you know, account, the fact that
- 3:33Speaker 4: she had given birth to our child, I was like,
- 3:35Speaker 4: it would be only right of me to support, you know,
- 3:39Speaker 4: a family team.
- 3:43Speaker 6: Well, Jonathan, his decision caused us to scramble, and we're like,
- 3:46Speaker 6: we need another general manager.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Yeah, we're able to scramble the bramble.
- 3:52Speaker 6: We put up the bat signal and brand he was like, yeah,
- 3:56Speaker 6: I'll jump in. I'll take on the responsibility of having
- 3:59Speaker 6: my own make the merged team.
- 4:01Speaker 8: You guys are being so kind about this and making
- 4:04Speaker 8: it sound like I was asked like I speaking of
- 4:10Speaker 8: We're such a place in my life where I'm just
- 4:14Speaker 8: dying to talk to somebody about Survivor and luckily you
- 4:18Speaker 8: guys are around, and I was.
- 4:20Speaker 1: So, I just hope asking. Oh so, it's not like
- 4:23Speaker 1: we're the best Survivor pod. It's guys would agree with that.
- 4:26Speaker 8: But if if Rob is listening or any of the
- 4:29Speaker 8: other ones are looking like dude, I can be like,
- 4:32Speaker 8: I can be persuade.
- 4:34Speaker 2: I feel like you're just looking for a trade deal.
- 4:36Speaker 8: That's what can I tell you really quick my perspective
- 4:40Speaker 8: of you know, you have your two perspective and that's nice.
- 4:43Speaker 8: When we began talking about doing this, I was like, well,
- 4:47Speaker 8: I could like just kind of chime in and like
- 4:50Speaker 8: maybe me and Kristen could be on a team because
- 4:52Speaker 8: I know she's, you know, sometimes with baby because Jonathan
- 4:55Speaker 8: would never and so when she's not around, no, I
- 5:00Speaker 8: don't want to take I don't want to kick anybody
- 5:02Speaker 8: out of the league, and uh so, and it made
- 5:05Speaker 8: it I heard last next thing I knew I had
- 5:09Speaker 8: my own team in Utah joined up, and so I
- 5:12Speaker 8: just what's up with that, Kristin.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, let's turn this on Kristen.
- 5:18Speaker 4: I mean just I.
- 5:19Speaker 7: Mean, truthfully, I just felt so bad for Jonathan.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Okay, take your mic I get that he's your husband.
- 5:26Speaker 6: He was failing publicly now because before it was like
- 5:29Speaker 6: he was just failing in front of his friends, and
- 5:31Speaker 6: now he's failing in front of.
- 5:32Speaker 2: A lot of Yeah, I'm failing in front of Saul now.
- 5:36Speaker 2: And I was like, OK, I was like, this is Look,
- 5:38Speaker 2: you're the court gesture of Saul Nation.
- 5:42Speaker 4: Look, it's It's a situation where I just see it
- 5:46Speaker 4: as an absolute win win for both parties. And I
- 5:49Speaker 4: see it as a win for Brandon because Brandon, you
- 5:52Speaker 4: get to you get to form your own path, blaze
- 5:55Speaker 4: your own trail. You're a trailblazer. Now, how does that
- 5:58Speaker 4: make you feel?
- 5:59Speaker 2: It makes me feel great.
- 6:00Speaker 8: And I'm my wife is the most excited out of
- 6:02Speaker 8: everybody because now I don't have to talk to her
- 6:05Speaker 8: about survivor. I have someone else to talk to. And
- 6:08Speaker 8: she's really thrilled. She's thrilled about this deal. And so
- 6:10Speaker 8: this this season the win that I'm gonna have on
- 6:13Speaker 8: my first season and making them.
- 6:17Speaker 2: It is it's it's for my wife. It's for you.
- 6:21Speaker 4: As sweet as that is, I hope you lose for
- 6:23Speaker 4: your wife. Okay, it's like I'm gonna win with my wife. Guys,
- 6:27Speaker 4: look at the Husband of the Year award goes to me.
- 6:30Speaker 1: As well when I shake this really smart because he
- 6:32Speaker 1: knows that when it comes to Survivor, you gotta have
- 6:34Speaker 1: a SOB story. You gotta have someone that you're playing for.
- 6:37Speaker 1: You gotta have someone that you're fighting for. That's how
- 6:39Speaker 1: you win the season. And all of these new contestants
- 6:42Speaker 1: that we're about to look into right now, they all
- 6:44Speaker 1: have their own SOB.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Stories, they have their own people they're playing for, and
- 6:47Speaker 2: let's all get into it.
- 6:48Speaker 4: Wow.
- 6:48Speaker 2: You know, Chase, that was a lot, but let's I agree,
- 6:51Speaker 2: let's do it whatever. That's how you do it as Survivor.
- 6:58Speaker 2: I'm a dog person. Now, I'm a dog person. Now.
- 7:01Speaker 2: We got a lot going on today, PD a lot,
- 7:03Speaker 2: that's right.
- 7:04Speaker 6: I had a wheel assigned different contestants to each of us,
- 7:08Speaker 6: So we're gonna be going through what the wheel decided
- 7:11Speaker 6: we were all going to talk about.
- 7:12Speaker 4: Wow, and that's why we're not on a team together, Chase,
- 7:15Speaker 4: even after you asked.
- 7:16Speaker 1: That would be the most entertaining season of this show
- 7:19Speaker 1: is of me and John the team.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Write that down right right each other fly. I wouldn't
- 7:27Speaker 2: even drive. I'd fly to Dan Villain murder Head. You're
- 7:30Speaker 2: you're within driving distance, and you would take a jet.
- 7:32Speaker 2: I would pay five point fifty for a ticket.
- 7:35Speaker 4: Dang, that's crazy.
- 7:37Speaker 8: So we each got four some of us got five
- 7:41Speaker 8: players from this newcasters eighteen of them?
- 7:43Speaker 2: Is that right? That is correct?
- 7:45Speaker 8: Eighteen players. Now we're not marrying any of these We're
- 7:49Speaker 8: not drafting any of these players. We're just giving the
- 7:52Speaker 8: rundown of the players because I don't want it. I
- 7:56Speaker 8: don't want any responsibility for one of the players I'm going.
- 8:01Speaker 2: To talk about today.
- 8:01Speaker 6: Oh yeah, and I don't either, But I do stand
- 8:04Speaker 6: one of them. I want to put that out there.
- 8:06Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you that I'm having to play like
- 8:08Speaker 4: a mental game where they're not already on my team.
- 8:12Speaker 4: That's that is an interesting thing where now I've looked
- 8:15Speaker 4: into them and there's a part of me that feels
- 8:17Speaker 4: like connected. Yeah, like connected, like a Stockholm syndrome.
- 8:21Speaker 1: It's like It's like when you're a videographer or a
- 8:23Speaker 1: photographer at a wedding for a stranger, and by the
- 8:26Speaker 1: end of the wedding you're like, oh my god, like
- 8:28Speaker 1: this is my best friends are getting me and then
- 8:30Speaker 1: you never see them again and you're always like, oh,
- 8:32Speaker 1: I wonder what happened to my family?
- 8:33Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 8:34Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, let's see if Jonathan and Kristen want to
- 8:38Speaker 6: adopt their first contestant, Star don.
- 8:42Speaker 7: I looked at it, I said, John, I do think.
- 8:45Speaker 9: Do you know how many people wish they could be
- 8:47Speaker 9: here right now?
- 8:48Speaker 10: I'm not taking nothing for granted.
- 8:54Speaker 2: I thought it was a joke. At first. I thought
- 8:56Speaker 2: it was going.
- 8:59Speaker 1: I would never personally Star in order for us to
- 9:02Speaker 1: be able to clear the Uh I don't know copyright
- 9:05Speaker 1: of these actually.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Oh man, okay, guys.
- 9:11Speaker 4: The first word I wrote down, words potentially that I
- 9:14Speaker 4: wrote down, were uh oh.
- 9:16Speaker 2: When I first saw.
- 9:17Speaker 4: Star's interview, uh not because right away I was getting
- 9:21Speaker 4: a little concerned with the energy. I'm not sure how
- 9:23Speaker 4: the tribe's gonna feel. But what I wrote down is, uh,
- 9:26Speaker 4: hyper energy semi pro basketball player right now in sales correct,
- 9:33Speaker 4: and she loves talking guys. She said it She's like,
- 9:37Speaker 4: I love talking because I'm in sales. I'm a little
- 9:40Speaker 4: scared of Star if I'm being real, if I end
- 9:42Speaker 4: up with Star on my team, very wild card.
- 9:45Speaker 2: But uh okay, you know she.
- 9:47Speaker 4: Says to chase your dreams at one point and that
- 9:50Speaker 4: Jeff is going to have her on speed dial, which
- 9:53Speaker 4: is a bold, bold claim for one to make.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Kristin, how do you feel about Star?
- 9:58Speaker 7: So Star has some like pretty hype energy hype or
- 10:03Speaker 7: hyper energy, I guess. But one thing that I, you know,
- 10:07Speaker 7: thought was kind of interesting about her. I watched a
- 10:10Speaker 7: slightly longer interview and just to kind of feel out
- 10:14Speaker 7: what her vibe was, if it was gonna be like
- 10:17Speaker 7: this hyper all the time. But no, she was a
- 10:20Speaker 7: little more toned down. She and her wife had a
- 10:23Speaker 7: baby before she came on the show. I think in
- 10:26Speaker 7: the interview she said the baby was like one and
- 10:28Speaker 7: so it sounds to me like she just started binge
- 10:31Speaker 7: watching Survivor, like while her wife was on maternity leave.
- 10:36Speaker 7: To have someone so new to the show experiencing watching
- 10:39Speaker 7: the show and then to apply to be on Survivor
- 10:42Speaker 7: like in the midst of all.
- 10:43Speaker 2: That, Yeah, that's really kind of interesting. Yeah, that's a
- 10:46Speaker 2: great takeaway.
- 10:47Speaker 1: And I think Jonathan will really like Star because it
- 10:50Speaker 1: sounds like Star's wife had a baby and then Starr
- 10:53Speaker 1: just abandoned it to go do a survivor show.
- 10:58Speaker 2: And Jonathan that's his bread and.
- 10:59Speaker 4: But yeah, that's what I'm all about, you know, taking
- 11:03Speaker 4: a quick trip to the computer while Kristin is desperately
- 11:07Speaker 4: trying to get Lizzie to sleep. So it's uh, uh,
- 11:10Speaker 4: you know, that's that's fine. But I'm really glad that
- 11:13Speaker 4: we did all that study together.
- 11:16Speaker 6: But before we move on from Star, do you have
- 11:17Speaker 6: a comp pic like would you say Star is going
- 11:20Speaker 6: to be the Andy or the Banu of this season.
- 11:23Speaker 2: I told Kristin she's going to be the Room of
- 11:26Speaker 2: the Rome.
- 11:28Speaker 7: We can't we can't label her as them of this season.
- 11:31Speaker 4: You loved Rome last season, Kristen, So maybe the infighting
- 11:35Speaker 4: of this team is about to begin. But I right
- 11:38Speaker 4: away was like, I'm getting chaotic energy that I'm I'm
- 11:41Speaker 4: afraid of with Star.
- 11:44Speaker 8: She was giving me announcer vibes like Rome. But I
- 11:48Speaker 8: hope that she's not like Rome.
- 11:50Speaker 4: I I hope that she isn't that she's only of
- 11:53Speaker 4: y'all teams.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Papa needs more viral tiktoks.
- 12:02Speaker 4: I don't.
- 12:02Speaker 6: I don't got I didn't get the vibe that she
- 12:05Speaker 6: was a jerk like.
- 12:06Speaker 4: Rome though, okay, the jerk thing, that's a good point. Well,
- 12:09Speaker 4: I think the wild card thing made.
- 12:11Speaker 7: She's got a little bit of unpredictability to her, I think.
- 12:15Speaker 7: But she almost had to me more like.
- 12:18Speaker 2: Q energy Maybe okay, cancel Christmas.
- 12:22Speaker 4: Yeah, big mistake, but uh yeah, that's that's kind of
- 12:26Speaker 4: how we feel about Star right now.
- 12:27Speaker 8: Star Timmy, Yeah, I liked I listen for no other
- 12:31Speaker 8: reason than that amazing intro.
- 12:33Speaker 2: I like Star. I like Star a lot memorable. All right,
- 12:37Speaker 2: let's let's move on to our hometown Hero.
- 12:40Speaker 11: Yes, as a call directal surgeon, people see me for reasons.
- 12:45Speaker 11: They don't want to talk about exam some body parts
- 12:47Speaker 11: they haven't shown anybody else. Have to have that trust,
- 12:51Speaker 11: but within a very short amount of time, and they
- 12:53Speaker 11: have to know that it's a safe space. I want
- 12:55Speaker 11: to help my patience, but in this game of survivor.
- 12:58Speaker 2: I want to be helpful to They can in turn help.
- 13:01Speaker 11: Me advance to this game.
- 13:03Speaker 2: That was Cedric McFadden. Cedric mcfatten, he's my guy. I
- 13:08Speaker 2: did my research on Cedric.
- 13:10Speaker 8: I was very excited to be assigned Cedric because he's
- 13:13Speaker 8: from Greenville, South Carolina, which is where we are from.
- 13:16Speaker 2: And I also.
- 13:19Speaker 8: Like the fact that he's forty six years old, and
- 13:22Speaker 8: so we'll see how old he tells the rest of
- 13:23Speaker 8: the tribe that he is.
- 13:25Speaker 2: But I'm getting worried he's forty six.
- 13:28Speaker 8: I mean, he's a surgeon with the colon, you know,
- 13:32Speaker 8: so that's fun. Unlike Star, Cedric has been a Survivor
- 13:38Speaker 8: fan since the beginning. Actually started watching season one while
- 13:42Speaker 8: it was airing while he was in med school as
- 13:45Speaker 8: a de stressor for you know, all the long days
- 13:49Speaker 8: of med school stuff, and he's been with ever since.
- 13:52Speaker 2: The fun fact they shared about.
- 13:53Speaker 8: Him on social media is that he went to one
- 13:55Speaker 8: of the live reunions, which was really a fun fact.
- 14:00Speaker 8: So he's clearly a big fan of it. He says
- 14:03Speaker 8: that he's going to rely on his social game, which
- 14:05Speaker 8: was surprising to me because of the five people that
- 14:09Speaker 8: I got, he is by far the most chill out
- 14:14Speaker 8: of all of them. And I'm not saying that chill
- 14:16Speaker 8: can't equal social, but I think he has a like
- 14:20Speaker 8: a different type of social game, like like you're talking
- 14:23Speaker 8: to a doctor.
- 14:24Speaker 4: You know.
- 14:25Speaker 2: But see, isn't that.
- 14:26Speaker 4: See Well, first of all, guys, I'm gonna tell you
- 14:29Speaker 4: right now, if Kristen lets me and we get a
- 14:31Speaker 4: first pick, I'm taking him from y'all just out of principle,
- 14:35Speaker 4: so that neither none of you guys in Greenville get him.
- 14:38Speaker 4: But if that, if he has that good like doctor
- 14:41Speaker 4: energy where you're like this guy, I feel like I've
- 14:43Speaker 4: known he seems helpful.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a good doctor. That I am a surgeon.
- 14:48Speaker 12: You know.
- 14:49Speaker 4: It's like I'm to say that at some point, but
- 14:53Speaker 4: I was I seem to I feel inclined towards him
- 14:57Speaker 4: as a player, you know.
- 14:59Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that he's definitely gonna be interesting. He
- 15:02Speaker 8: wants to blend in. But also he does have this
- 15:08Speaker 8: like leadership type quality to him. You know, he's a surgeon.
- 15:12Speaker 8: He's got people that work for but he also has
- 15:14Speaker 8: experience like the on the Today Show and our local
- 15:18Speaker 8: CBS affiliate. He does like medical stuff for those shows.
- 15:22Speaker 8: So he's comfortable in front of the camera. He's comfortable
- 15:24Speaker 8: in front of people. He says that one of the
- 15:28Speaker 8: reasons why he thinks that he could win is because
- 15:31Speaker 8: of the five year general surgical residency. The hours that
- 15:36Speaker 8: you would work, you would be working non stop, So
- 15:39Speaker 8: he's kind of used to working or being awake for
- 15:43Speaker 8: a long time, or running on fumes and still having
- 15:46Speaker 8: to make these split second decisions. Is a really good point,
- 15:51Speaker 8: Like when you're a surgeon, you got to be ready
- 15:52Speaker 8: to go, whether you have one hour of sleep or
- 15:56Speaker 8: eight hours of sleep, or no rice or some rice
- 16:00Speaker 8: or whatever. So I imagine that's going to come in to
- 16:02Speaker 8: play for him. So I like them overall. But the
- 16:06Speaker 8: one thing that I found interesting more than anything was
- 16:09Speaker 8: his approach to idols.
- 16:12Speaker 2: He says he thinks he's going.
- 16:14Speaker 8: To approach them cautious yet open minded. He plans to
- 16:19Speaker 8: use them strategically, focusing on staying in the game day
- 16:23Speaker 8: to day rather than hoarding them. So it makes it
- 16:26Speaker 8: seem like if he is to come across an idol
- 16:28Speaker 8: or advantage, he's going to try to use it as
- 16:31Speaker 8: soon as possible.
- 16:32Speaker 4: Burn And.
- 16:34Speaker 8: The one kind of takeaway that I got from all
- 16:36Speaker 8: five of these people is they were getting ready to
- 16:39Speaker 8: start this and the last full season that they were
- 16:42Speaker 8: able to watch was forty six, where so many people
- 16:47Speaker 8: held onto their their idols and it burned them.
- 16:50Speaker 2: So I think we're going to see a lot of
- 16:52Speaker 2: that in this season, if Cedric has anything to do
- 16:55Speaker 2: with it. So that's Cedric, Cedric wig fat him.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Dang, dude, wow, great work on said my thought. Whenever
- 17:01Speaker 1: I hear someone like a surgeon or someone playing, is like,
- 17:04Speaker 1: do they need the money?
- 17:05Speaker 2: Yeah? Sure?
- 17:07Speaker 8: And I The one pizza for him that I didn't
- 17:09Speaker 8: get is whether or not he's gonna lie about Yeah,
- 17:13Speaker 8: I have an attorney later on, and he talks about
- 17:15Speaker 8: how he's gonna lie, but Cedric didn't get it.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Cedric's gonna be like, yeah, I'm a nurse.
- 17:21Speaker 6: Dang, I'm gonna root for him just because he's from Greenville.
- 17:25Speaker 6: Like he could be the biggest villain in the world
- 17:27Speaker 6: and I would still be like Cedric, my boy, Yeah,
- 17:30Speaker 6: you know, just because if the location.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Here's what I'll say about.
- 17:32Speaker 1: And I think we're all gonna be fighting for him
- 17:34Speaker 1: for our teams, and I think that's fair, even Jonathan
- 17:37Speaker 1: and Kristy, they're gonna be fighting for Decide. If I
- 17:40Speaker 1: end up drafting him and he does me dirty, I
- 17:44Speaker 1: will find his house. I can't be that far from us.
- 17:48Speaker 4: It can live for a nice neighborhood, you know.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Off Augusta Road. Probably we'll find him lives in Thornblie.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Oh yeah, guys, local humor for you, Yeah, totally, Paris
- 18:05Speaker 2: Mountain one of those big boys up there. We just
- 18:07Speaker 2: started to start naming local places. Yeah, guys, guys, what
- 18:10Speaker 2: about downtown Greenville?
- 18:12Speaker 4: Am I right?
- 18:13Speaker 12: Yeah?
- 18:13Speaker 2: Downtown stupid right or something. Brett Brand is taking to
- 18:21Speaker 2: this podcast really well. You know, I'm a fan first, guys.
- 18:25Speaker 4: First, I feel like I'm gonna constantly get like, look,
- 18:31Speaker 4: the bigger this podcast gets, I'm like, are the fans
- 18:33Speaker 4: gonna start just being mean to me?
- 18:35Speaker 2: Which is like a dream.
- 18:36Speaker 4: I think that'll be hilarious.
- 18:37Speaker 2: So, you know, just yeah, it's gonna be crazy when
- 18:40Speaker 2: people start being mean to you.
- 18:45Speaker 13: Yes, I started watching Survivor, when I started skipping ministry school,
- 18:53Speaker 13: watch Survivor at home and watching this show like, I
- 18:56Speaker 13: wish I could do that, but I could never. This
- 18:59Speaker 13: is making up for lost time. Of all the experiences
- 19:01Speaker 13: I've held myself back from, I am going all out
- 19:05Speaker 13: on this.
- 19:05Speaker 6: That was Charity Nelms, Wow, tell us about charity.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Charity is one of the more interesting players that I
- 19:13Speaker 1: had on my list to research. I think she's kind
- 19:18Speaker 1: of like perfect for the kind of community that Jonathan
- 19:22Speaker 1: and p D grew up in. Yeah yeah, uh, you
- 19:26Speaker 1: know the ministry school, Christian space, you know, and even me,
- 19:29Speaker 1: I went to a Christian college where I was very
- 19:32Speaker 1: much skipping class to watch Survivor.
- 19:35Speaker 4: Wow.
- 19:37Speaker 1: So Charity is a flight attendant and she chose to
- 19:41Speaker 1: be a flight attendant after she she went to a
- 19:45Speaker 1: ministry college. She went to a Christian college. She decided
- 19:48Speaker 1: that that life just wasn't for her. After she graduated,
- 19:51Speaker 1: she worked at a mega church in the South Dan,
- 19:55Speaker 1: So you know Samesas And does she get into specifics
- 19:59Speaker 1: about the She doesn't, but I would no, no, But
- 20:05Speaker 1: that's what my first thought was to There's some speculation
- 20:09Speaker 1: online but nothing for certain, but I'm assuming she'll probably
- 20:12Speaker 1: reveal it during the season on Twitter at some point.
- 20:15Speaker 4: Hey, I'm like, guys, give me one day and I'll
- 20:17Speaker 4: find it.
- 20:20Speaker 1: She would skip ministry school to watch Survivor. And that
- 20:23Speaker 1: was a big red flag for me for drafting her, because.
- 20:26Speaker 2: God is not going to be on her side of.
- 20:30Speaker 9: This.
- 20:30Speaker 4: Is there's the there is no being blessed and highly
- 20:34Speaker 4: favored on her team.
- 20:36Speaker 6: You know, if you draft her, it's over. God sent
- 20:38Speaker 6: her through casting to punish her ultimately.
- 20:42Speaker 2: I think that's crazy. She's gonna leave by injuries. What
- 20:45Speaker 2: I think is gonna have God smite her.
- 20:49Speaker 4: That's what I would saying. It's gonna be something like
- 20:51Speaker 4: that happening. I could feel it.
- 20:52Speaker 2: So she's probably gonna lose to fire because.
- 20:59Speaker 1: So she has a very story of like she decided
- 21:02Speaker 1: that she has spent her whole life in this very
- 21:05Speaker 1: small community. She didn't get to experience a lot of
- 21:07Speaker 1: things outside of church. She quit her job at the
- 21:12Speaker 1: megachurch and a few days later became a flight attendant.
- 21:15Speaker 1: And now she's traveling the world. She's getting all of
- 21:18Speaker 1: these life.
- 21:18Speaker 2: Expect hold on. Is it that easy? Yeah? Yeah, it's
- 21:22Speaker 2: pretty easy now for real. I don't know, man, I
- 21:25Speaker 2: always thought that that was like a harder gig to get.
- 21:28Speaker 4: Here's here's the secret. She worked for Kenneth Copeland's and
- 21:32Speaker 4: he has planes like crazy there.
- 21:38Speaker 2: So that's kind of her story, which is an interesting story.
- 21:41Speaker 1: She does kind of have a a kind of overcoming
- 21:44Speaker 1: part of her story too, where she has had one
- 21:47Speaker 1: hundred pound weight loss journey.
- 21:49Speaker 2: Yeah, so that would make me assume she's probably.
- 21:52Speaker 1: In the gym a lot still because she said that
- 21:54Speaker 1: she's managed to keep that weight off. She's probably going
- 21:56Speaker 1: to be a pretty solid physical player in the challenges
- 22:00Speaker 1: because you know, she obviously spends a lot of time
- 22:01Speaker 1: in the gym. But a lot of people online after
- 22:05Speaker 1: seeing her video on the Survivor page, after reading her article,
- 22:08Speaker 1: they think that she's gonna be like the villain queen
- 22:11Speaker 1: of this interesting a lot of people pegging her to
- 22:14Speaker 1: be the winner of the season as wow.
- 22:16Speaker 2: Whoa yeah, did you get that vibe?
- 22:18Speaker 1: So the kind of vibe I got was it was
- 22:22Speaker 1: she's definitely confident. She's definitely gonna be some sort of threat.
- 22:26Speaker 1: She said that one of her weaknesses is that she
- 22:28Speaker 1: has a hard time controlling her like face when she
- 22:31Speaker 1: just like looks really rude at people. She calls it
- 22:35Speaker 1: the flight attendant faces.
- 22:38Speaker 4: Flight attendants are like super charming people, right, Like she
- 22:41Speaker 4: works for Spirit or something, Virgin Airlines, that's it.
- 22:47Speaker 1: But uh, the kind of vibe I got from her
- 22:49Speaker 1: is like, you know what, this could be like a
- 22:51Speaker 1: girl boss situation where she could go really far. But
- 22:55Speaker 1: I do think that maybe her personality will get in
- 22:57Speaker 1: the way especially if she's up against some of the
- 22:59Speaker 1: other people I looked into who uh you know, spoiler alert,
- 23:03Speaker 1: are some of the kindest people I've ever seen.
- 23:05Speaker 2: That doesn't work on survivor.
- 23:09Speaker 6: Well, I guess it does work if you're kinsy, but
- 23:10Speaker 6: most of the time doesn't work that great true true?
- 23:13Speaker 2: Wow, all right, that's interesting. Pity are we going on? Yep,
- 23:17Speaker 2: let's go to my contestant. My parents have.
- 23:19Speaker 14: Always said, like Mary, if you could have a little
- 23:22Speaker 14: bit more fear, we would feel a lot better as parents.
- 23:27Speaker 13: I'm fearless, I'm bold. I'm someone who really just doesn't
- 23:31Speaker 13: care what people think about me.
- 23:32Speaker 3: I do my own thing.
- 23:34Speaker 4: All right.
- 23:34Speaker 2: That was Mary Jean in the Day one elimination. Mary
- 23:39Speaker 2: is awesome. I can't wait to see her play.
- 23:42Speaker 6: They're out of my contestants, there's one that I stand
- 23:45Speaker 6: and I'll reveal that now.
- 23:46Speaker 2: That's Mary. Okay, I'm a Mary stand just from based
- 23:49Speaker 2: off what I found.
- 23:50Speaker 4: But he's the probmise. The music that they put behind
- 23:52Speaker 4: her that always makes me concerned. You start paying attention
- 23:55Speaker 4: to that soundtrack and they're.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Like, don't don't don't contest that. You're like, oh, so
- 24:00Speaker 2: they're not winning like the first half Andy music. I
- 24:03Speaker 2: think it's what you would call that.
- 24:04Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but.
- 24:06Speaker 6: Mary Jong, all right, let's talk about her. First thing
- 24:09Speaker 6: I did was go to a Twitter, and that's really
- 24:11Speaker 6: all I needed. That's all I needed.

- 25:06Speaker 6: Let's get into her tweets. Now, this is where Mary
- 25:10Speaker 6: is gonna win you. Guys over because you know a
- 25:11Speaker 6: lot of people would be like, I'm gonna be on
- 25:13Speaker 6: reality TV on a major network. Maybe I should scrub
- 25:17Speaker 6: some stuff now, Mary. This is why I love Mary.
- 25:21Speaker 6: So the first Mary tweet, there's a special place in
- 25:24Speaker 6: hell for all the frontier employees who force you to
- 25:27Speaker 6: repeatedly smash your backpack into that tiny ass carry on John, Wow, wait.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Until she finds out the charity I was gonna say,
- 25:41Speaker 2: that would be incredible, that would be wild. Okay.
- 25:43Speaker 6: And in the second tweet and okay, for the purposes
- 25:46Speaker 6: of investigative journalism, I feel like I need to read this.
- 25:50Speaker 2: You know what I'm gonna make Chase read this next.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Take it away, Chase, you've ever been so single you
- 25:56Speaker 1: don't even have someone to think of when you yurkin O.
- 26:01Speaker 2: Dang Mary, you know what Mary see? I told you, dude,
- 26:05Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta be honest. This mug is glorious. Yeah,
- 26:11Speaker 2: it's like it's her.
- 26:12Speaker 8: It's her face like five different times. And then a
- 26:16Speaker 8: tiny face on Flora was really funny. She's funny.
- 26:22Speaker 2: I like this T shirt she made that says, think
- 26:24Speaker 2: of me when you're yer kids.
- 26:29Speaker 6: Look, I think I'm already your mother Mary's missionary, you know, like, yeah, wow,
- 26:35Speaker 6: I'm in that group. But you know, there's another thing
- 26:38Speaker 6: to bring up that was important. She loves Ana del
- 26:40Speaker 6: Rey and kind of hates Taylor Swift.
- 26:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in.
- 26:45Speaker 4: I'm not sure how Kristin's gonna feel about this. Kristin,
- 26:47Speaker 4: what are your thoughts on it?
- 26:48Speaker 7: Well, I'm confused because I thought that PD was a
- 26:50Speaker 7: Taylor Swift fan, but I guess that's just Ariana Grande,
- 26:53Speaker 7: so my bad.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Well, I do love Taylor. I just think she's starting
- 26:56Speaker 2: to fall off a little bit that I think.
- 26:58Speaker 4: I think she's having a I think she's having a
- 27:00Speaker 4: iral moment, right, honey.
- 27:01Speaker 2: I think she fell off when she stopped making country.
- 27:05Speaker 4: It's a love story, but it's Yeah, I don't know
- 27:09Speaker 4: how I feel about it because I feel like most
- 27:11Speaker 4: Lana fans are also Tata fans, if you know.
- 27:14Speaker 7: But that's only because all the Taylor fans became Lana
- 27:18Speaker 7: fans because Taylor was friends with Lana.
- 27:20Speaker 6: Because of Snow on the Beach, has tragged her on
- 27:23Speaker 6: stage for the Grammys when Lana didn't want to be there.
- 27:26Speaker 2: Oh guys, let us know in the comments, what you
- 27:29Speaker 2: think about this.
- 27:31Speaker 4: I'm rather interested more in Brandon's stance, but we'll talk after.
- 27:34Speaker 2: Okay, guys, this is where it takes a turn. This
- 27:37Speaker 2: is no okay on a more serious we.
- 27:39Speaker 4: Didn't already take a turn.
- 27:41Speaker 2: I guess we took a lot of turns in this
- 27:43Speaker 2: Mary's segment.
- 27:45Speaker 6: But so this is all from the Mike Bloom interview,
- 27:47Speaker 6: and those are really good interviews. I'd encourage you to
- 27:49Speaker 6: check those out there, all like twenty something minutes each.
- 27:53Speaker 6: She did volunteer work with a crisis hotline where twenty
- 27:56Speaker 6: five percent of the calls were suicide.
- 27:58Speaker 2: Wow.
- 28:00Speaker 6: She said that everyone tells her secrets and she's like, well,
- 28:03Speaker 6: how do I do that professionally? And she became a therapist.
- 28:08Speaker 6: And here's the most wild thing. This made my jaw
- 28:11Speaker 6: drop earlier when.
- 28:12Speaker 2: I heard it.
- 28:13Speaker 6: Her parents were involved in organizing Tman Square.
- 28:17Speaker 4: What is that? Whoa?
- 28:18Speaker 2: What is that?
- 28:19Speaker 14: All?
- 28:19Speaker 15: Right?
- 28:19Speaker 2: TikTok? What does that mean?
- 28:25Speaker 15: Well?
- 28:26Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if we want to get
- 28:27Speaker 2: into square. It don't make me feel dumb. But not
- 28:30Speaker 2: knowing what it was like, it was okay, okayed to this.
- 28:37Speaker 4: Did you know about this?
- 28:38Speaker 2: You just tell me afterwards, buddy, It don't make me
- 28:40Speaker 2: look bad. Everybody be honest me. Did everyone know what
- 28:45Speaker 2: that was?
- 28:45Speaker 6: It's a pretty major historical event.
- 28:48Speaker 2: Kristin, did you know what that was?
- 28:50Speaker 4: I don't know what that is, which is why she
- 28:53Speaker 4: and I are on a team and Chases alone in this.
- 28:56Speaker 4: So yeah, technically Kristin.
- 28:58Speaker 2: Did know, because we're knowledge Jesus.
- 29:02Speaker 6: Okay, so what we're gonna title this? Chase learns about
- 29:05Speaker 6: Taman Square. But so her mom was arrested for nine
- 29:09Speaker 6: months after and her dad was on the most Wanted list,
- 29:13Speaker 6: and her mom and dad were able to reunite and
- 29:16Speaker 6: were smuggled on a boat from Hong Kong to the US,
- 29:18Speaker 6: where they receive political asylum. That's sick. But I mean,
- 29:21Speaker 6: whose dad hasn't been on the most wanted list? Yeah,
- 29:24Speaker 6: so you know that's that's Mary's parents. I'm gonna do
- 29:27Speaker 6: the TikTok version. Now Mary does not have parents, huh.
- 29:31Speaker 6: This this is the version for TikTok. Mary's parents don't exist.
- 29:37Speaker 2: She is just like Kyle. This bit is over Chase
- 29:40Speaker 2: his head because he doesn't know about the incident.
- 29:42Speaker 4: But what's happening. Look, okay, I'm gonna connect the dots
- 29:50Speaker 4: for you here with with her with her parents being
- 29:53Speaker 4: what we would call fugitives if they were alive. And
- 29:56Speaker 4: let's say we posted this clip on TikTok, which may
- 29:59Speaker 4: or may be you know, feeding somebody.
- 30:03Speaker 2: You know, Well, you know you're being on national television
- 30:05Speaker 2: talking about this every week.
- 30:07Speaker 4: You'll race you know, they're not watching CBS BRO.
- 30:12Speaker 1: They see in CBS is Chinese Chinese broadcast. All right,
- 30:18Speaker 1: let's move on.
- 30:20Speaker 4: Let's do this longer. I've been joined by so much PD.
- 30:24Speaker 2: Do you have anything else on Mary?
- 30:27Speaker 6: I don't, But I think I just ruined the rest
- 30:29Speaker 6: of the podcast because Chase is gonna be upset. He's
- 30:32Speaker 6: gonna be crashing out like the Soul episode.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Was so mean to solve. Yeah, I can't believe you
- 30:44Speaker 2: compared Star. Well, that's the meanest.
- 30:49Speaker 4: Thing you can say about Well, if you're saying that
- 30:51Speaker 4: I did that, it's actually Kristin and I both.
- 30:53Speaker 2: Hey, if you guys are sharing knowledge, then you're sharing takes.
- 30:56Speaker 2: That's right, That's what I'm saying. Don't know what that
- 31:00Speaker 2: agree to it?
- 31:00Speaker 4: Actually, it is what she was actually meaning to say.
- 31:04Speaker 7: All Right, I guess I'm gonna have to be the
- 31:06Speaker 7: official spokesperson for our team because I have no part.
- 31:10Speaker 7: I want no part of whatever Jonathan's.
- 31:12Speaker 4: She actually just told me off mic that she wants
- 31:14Speaker 4: a part of everything. So we're gonna have a lot
- 31:20Speaker 4: of fun agreeing with each other for an entire season.
- 31:23Speaker 2: So it's Kim, that's cute. Well it's your turn. Here's
- 31:26Speaker 2: the next clip.
- 31:27Speaker 16: I was like, I gotta prove you wrong. Then I
- 31:29Speaker 16: went on to get an associated oppress reward that teacher
- 31:32Speaker 16: can eat. People told me I would never leave Philadelphia.
- 31:35Speaker 16: Not only did I end up in California, but I
- 31:37Speaker 16: worked for one of the biggest media companies out here.
- 31:40Speaker 2: My mom told me I shouldn't do.
- 31:41Speaker 16: Survivor and look at me now, Hi.
- 31:45Speaker 4: Mom, dang hi Mom.
- 31:49Speaker 7: All right, so we have CI hopefully I'm saying that right.
- 31:54Speaker 7: We'll find out. But she is thirty years old, a
- 31:57Speaker 7: marketing professional. She defied herself as a strong and independent woman,
- 32:04Speaker 7: and she will not be told what to do. But
- 32:06Speaker 7: you know she actually I thought this was interesting. She
- 32:10Speaker 7: worked for NBC as a marketing professional.
- 32:13Speaker 6: Actually, oh wow, yeah, so she's.
- 32:16Speaker 7: Now crossed over to the other side, going to CBS.
- 32:20Speaker 2: But the a NBC stands for not Chinese.
- 32:28Speaker 7: Yes, but she in an interview, said that the reason
- 32:31Speaker 7: she is playing Survivor is that she's in it for
- 32:33Speaker 7: the title. She wants to be part of this elite
- 32:35Speaker 7: group of winners.
- 32:36Speaker 4: I kind of wrote down that she holds grudges, you know.
- 32:38Speaker 4: That was one thing that she said. She was like,
- 32:40Speaker 4: I hold grudges. I don't forget, and I'm like that can.
- 32:44Speaker 4: That has proven to be an interesting way to play
- 32:48Speaker 4: the game because a lot of times you end up
- 32:51Speaker 4: having to make friends with your enemies at least once,
- 32:53Speaker 4: you know, and if you're going to hold your grudges
- 32:56Speaker 4: and make that like your thing to say, it's kind
- 32:59Speaker 4: of a I don't know, but uh yeah, so might
- 33:03Speaker 4: have trouble holding back and being told what to do,
- 33:05Speaker 4: you know. And you know, hi, mom, that's what I
- 33:08Speaker 4: wrote down in my part of it too.
- 33:10Speaker 2: You remember when Kyle wrote down Sue's name. Yeah, yeah,
- 33:15Speaker 2: big mistake. You never forgot it. Yeah, that's a crush
- 33:18Speaker 2: And she made it to the final three, so that's true.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Never act on it. That's the key.
- 33:26Speaker 8: Never talk about it out loud unless it's straight to camera,
- 33:30Speaker 8: and you'll be fine.
- 33:31Speaker 2: I said, you want to kill them, here's here's my thing, guys.
- 33:34Speaker 4: I do want to say this because I feel like
- 33:36Speaker 4: it's not we've not addressed this. But you know, people
- 33:40Speaker 4: say a lot of garbage about each other in this game,
- 33:43Speaker 4: as if they're as if the show is not gonna
- 33:46Speaker 4: suddenly air. You know. That's what I find so amusing,
- 33:50Speaker 4: is like someone will be like I hate Kyle and
- 33:52Speaker 4: I wish he was dead, and you're like, hey, you
- 33:55Speaker 4: know that that's going to be like that's that's immortalized
- 33:58Speaker 4: forever and Kyle's gonna see it. It's just an interesting thing.
- 34:02Speaker 4: So grudges, I don't know, guys. Yeah, that's that's what
- 34:05Speaker 4: I got outside. I think.
- 34:06Speaker 8: I do think there's a period of time on the island,
- 34:10Speaker 8: and I think it happened sooner than you might think,
- 34:13Speaker 8: where you just kind of forget that. Yeah, anyone's gonna
- 34:18Speaker 8: see it and they're just like, this is a this
- 34:20Speaker 8: is it, this is my life, and I'm just gonna
- 34:22Speaker 8: just say it and then yeah, for sure.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Or sou's just crazy a tsunami baby. Yeah, we need
- 34:31Speaker 1: to pick up the paste though.
- 34:32Speaker 4: Okay, well bye. Yeah the contested role film, guys, I
- 34:38Speaker 4: have to look somewhat hot. I'm not gonna look ugly.
- 34:40Speaker 3: So I'm gonna mix some coconut shaving and sm seawater,
- 34:43Speaker 3: make a little paste, and then do my hair every morning.
- 34:46Speaker 11: I'm sure they're gonna think I'm stupid, but it's okay.
- 34:48Speaker 12: I want to look as ditsy and clue as possible
- 34:50Speaker 12: because that's what's gonna help me go through far in
- 34:52Speaker 12: the day.
- 34:53Speaker 2: That's Kevin's Kevin Loung. I believe it's how you say
- 34:58Speaker 2: his last name. He's thirty four.
- 34:59Speaker 8: He's a financial manager who lives in California. Kevin's interesting. Uh,
- 35:04Speaker 8: here's a little backstory for Kevin Kevin. Both of his
- 35:07Speaker 8: parents are immigrants from Hong Kong, and they had a
- 35:10Speaker 8: strict TV policy for him when he was a kid,
- 35:13Speaker 8: and he was introduced to Survivor early on in his
- 35:16Speaker 8: life when he went downstairs to turn off the TV
- 35:20Speaker 8: because his dad fell asleep watching it and Survivor was on,
- 35:25Speaker 8: and so he was so drawn to the program he
- 35:28Speaker 8: wanted to keep watching it.
- 35:29Speaker 2: So he turned the volume down so it wouldn't.
- 35:31Speaker 8: Wake his dad up, and he watched Survivor on mute
- 35:36Speaker 8: week after a week, and that's how we learned the
- 35:39Speaker 8: game and It wasn't until he like a few years
- 35:42Speaker 8: later when he finally started watching anything like oh yeah,
- 35:44Speaker 8: but you know, you watch it and you're like, there's
- 35:46Speaker 8: people and then one of them leaves.
- 35:50Speaker 2: You get it, and they wrote this person's name down
- 35:54Speaker 2: and they're gone now and you don't get to hear
- 35:59Speaker 2: the dope the song.
- 36:00Speaker 8: Yeah, Kevin is super charismatic. He's also quite buff. He
- 36:06Speaker 8: got very into fitness not too long ago. His social
- 36:09Speaker 8: media handle, I don't remember what it is, like Kevin
- 36:12Speaker 8: three three Fitness or.
- 36:13Speaker 2: Something like that.
- 36:14Speaker 8: Okay, so he's one of those guys, but he's like
- 36:16Speaker 8: sneaky buff. Like you don't look at him and be like,
- 36:18Speaker 8: oh my gosh, I'll get that guy. Yeah, but he's
- 36:20Speaker 8: sneaky buff and he and he talks about that a
- 36:23Speaker 8: little bit. How there's other guys on this season that
- 36:26Speaker 8: you look at and you're like, that's the strong guy,
- 36:29Speaker 8: and he's kind of more in the middle. He's sneaky buff,
- 36:31Speaker 8: and he thinks just kind of kind of help him.
- 36:33Speaker 8: You already heard what he said about his looks.
- 36:34Speaker 2: But he's into it.
- 36:36Speaker 8: He's got a he's got a whole hair hair plan
- 36:39Speaker 8: for for the island. You may be wondering, Kevin, are
- 36:43Speaker 8: you into the outdoors?
- 36:45Speaker 4: No, No, he is not.
- 36:47Speaker 8: He is not into the outdoors, but he does have grits.
- 36:52Speaker 8: He keeps saying that he has grits. I'm not like
- 36:55Speaker 8: totally sure he knows.
- 36:56Speaker 2: What that means, but yeah, say it.
- 36:58Speaker 8: He thinks of his social is going to take him
- 37:01Speaker 8: far and that he's going to do fine on the
- 37:02Speaker 8: challenges and that everybody else will kind of help him
- 37:05Speaker 8: along the way with the survival stuff.
- 37:07Speaker 2: But interestingly enough, he in twenty twenty.
- 37:10Speaker 8: Three participated in the show I Survived Bear Grills on TBO.
- 37:15Speaker 4: Oh no way.
- 37:16Speaker 2: So I guess he's kind of done a little of
- 37:18Speaker 2: this before, and so that's fine.
- 37:21Speaker 8: One of the things he talks about with kind of
- 37:23Speaker 8: the strategy, the social side of it, not really being
- 37:25Speaker 8: comfortable in the outdoors. He says, you built like this
- 37:29Speaker 8: is what he'll say to somebody, you build a shelter,
- 37:31Speaker 8: I'll look for an idol and I'll share.
- 37:33Speaker 15: It with you.
- 37:34Speaker 8: So that's kind of his his plan moving forward in
- 37:38Speaker 8: last but at least he is very, very proud of
- 37:40Speaker 8: the fact that when he was younger he was really
- 37:43Speaker 8: good at tennis.
- 37:44Speaker 2: Despite being very short, and he thinks that grit helped
- 37:48Speaker 2: him be good.
- 37:50Speaker 4: So you know that so much says something about himselves
- 37:53Speaker 4: so many times that you're like, I think they're I
- 37:56Speaker 4: think they this is the thing that they really want
- 37:59Speaker 4: to have, you know, Like I'm really gritty guys, like
- 38:02Speaker 4: I promise, I'm gritty. I've got grit.
- 38:05Speaker 2: I really like Kevin, and I think Kevin's a real
- 38:08Speaker 2: fun guy. Sounds like it. I don't know if he
- 38:12Speaker 2: has grit. We'll find out.
- 38:13Speaker 1: We'll find out, but it does sound like one of
- 38:16Speaker 1: those things like it's an affirmation.
- 38:18Speaker 2: Yeah, and he just says it every day, every hour,
- 38:21Speaker 2: every minute. I've got grit.
- 38:22Speaker 1: We're gonna watch episode one and this dude's gonna be
- 38:24Speaker 1: the gritless dude we've ever seen.
- 38:27Speaker 2: In that clip, what was his main concern? Not looking ugly? Yah?
- 38:30Speaker 2: Sound very gritty.
- 38:31Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, So he's interesting someone to watch. I Uh,
- 38:36Speaker 8: I'm intrigued by him, but I don't know if it's
- 38:39Speaker 8: in a good way or not. So well, we'll find out.
- 38:41Speaker 8: We'll find out.
- 38:42Speaker 2: But that's Kevin all right. Next, I don't want to
- 38:47Speaker 2: be the leader in my job.
- 38:48Speaker 13: I'm the leader now and I want to be the workhorse,
- 38:50Speaker 13: because that's what I've been my whole life.
- 38:51Speaker 16: I grew up very poor.
- 38:53Speaker 17: I'm welfare a single mom, so I know what it
- 38:57Speaker 17: takes to work hard to get what you want.
- 38:59Speaker 2: I think that's gonna help me a lot here.
- 39:01Speaker 1: That is Chrissy Sarnowski. Sarnowski she is like the head
- 39:08Speaker 1: of a fire department. Wow, orly she was. I don't
- 39:11Speaker 1: know if she still is. She might be retired. She
- 39:12Speaker 1: is in her fifties. What you just heard in that
- 39:15Speaker 1: little clip she talks about being a single mom. She
- 39:18Speaker 1: talked about how she doesn't want to be the leader,
- 39:20Speaker 1: even though in her real life she is a leadership position.
- 39:24Speaker 1: So that at least shows that she's smart enough to
- 39:26Speaker 1: understand that the person who's like takes charge at first
- 39:29Speaker 1: always gets in trouble. However, I think she's gonna fall
- 39:32Speaker 1: into that classic category. If she is on the island
- 39:34Speaker 1: and she's like, I don't want to be the leader
- 39:36Speaker 1: day one, she's leaded.
- 39:38Speaker 8: Like nobody into it. Nobody says they want to be
- 39:41Speaker 8: the leader. Somebody always says the leader they like. They
- 39:44Speaker 8: can't help themselves.
- 39:45Speaker 4: If they got that like take charge attitude, it's really
- 39:48Speaker 4: hard to suppress it and bury it down, you know.
- 39:51Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
- 39:52Speaker 1: The general consensus about her, like from fans online, is
- 39:56Speaker 1: that she's going to be a strong player who gets
- 39:58Speaker 1: taken out towards the end because no one wants to
- 40:01Speaker 1: sit beside her in the final three. She's gonna play
- 40:03Speaker 1: that kind of like mom role, like a sing or
- 40:06Speaker 1: or some of those other classics. Will she reveal her
- 40:08Speaker 1: age though, that's the ultimate question. Is she strikes me
- 40:12Speaker 1: as the kind of person that would be very transparent
- 40:14Speaker 1: and honest. I think personally, and I could be wrong,
- 40:17Speaker 1: I think she's gonna be the lady on the on
- 40:20Speaker 1: whatever tribe she's on, that just immediately becomes such good
- 40:24Speaker 1: friends with everyone on the tribe that they just take
- 40:27Speaker 1: her along. But they, you know, they they never usually
- 40:31Speaker 1: make it all the way because people get scared that
- 40:33Speaker 1: they're gonna get all the jury votes.
- 40:35Speaker 2: You said she was a fire chief, Yeah, she was
- 40:37Speaker 2: the like, well, I don't know if she was the chief.
- 40:39Speaker 2: You think she can make fire? We know she could
- 40:40Speaker 2: put it out.
- 40:41Speaker 1: So she mentions that is what she literally says that verbatim.
- 40:44Speaker 1: She goes, I'm good at putting out fires, not good
- 40:46Speaker 1: at making O.
- 40:48Speaker 12: Wow.
- 40:48Speaker 4: So we need more arsons on Survivors.
- 40:54Speaker 2: Yeah, we haven't had a good one of those. We
- 40:55Speaker 2: haven't had a good arson on there.
- 40:56Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 40:58Speaker 2: But yeah, that's Chrissy.
- 40:59Speaker 4: I like her.
- 41:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I like her. That's interesting, all right.
- 41:02Speaker 17: Next, I don't want to brag, but I make the
- 41:05Speaker 17: best pizza.
- 41:05Speaker 2: We've made the best pizza all our lives.
- 41:07Speaker 17: I've never really had a gym membership. We just kind
- 41:09Speaker 17: of in my gym carrying fifty pound bags of flower
- 41:12Speaker 17: on my shoulders. And you know, I'm doing those deliveries
- 41:14Speaker 17: forty or fifty pizzas at a time, and that's kind
- 41:16Speaker 17: of in my strength training. So I want to see
- 41:17Speaker 17: how that translates out here.
- 41:19Speaker 2: That's right.
- 41:20Speaker 6: Justin doesn't need a gym, yeah, because he makes those
- 41:24Speaker 6: twenty pepperoni pizzas to you, and he's doing squats with
- 41:28Speaker 6: him and then he's bench pressing them and he's doing
- 41:31Speaker 6: all kinds of stuff to be in shape for Survivor.
- 41:33Speaker 6: But here's here's some important stuff about Justin. He went
- 41:38Speaker 6: to Yale, WHOA, Yes, we got a smart past we do.
- 41:43Speaker 6: And why is he working at a pizza place? Why
- 41:46Speaker 6: does he own a pizza place?
- 41:47Speaker 2: Now? If he graduated from Yale.
- 41:48Speaker 6: You might ask, well, his mom got leukemia like as
- 41:51Speaker 6: soon as COVID happened, or his mom got leukemia after
- 41:54Speaker 6: he graduated.
- 41:55Speaker 2: Oh, so he had to go and.
- 41:58Speaker 6: Help out the family business, and now he runs it,
- 42:00Speaker 6: and now he has a pizza gym Massachusetts.
- 42:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought I heard.
- 42:06Speaker 6: So he's a genius, but he's putting all of his
- 42:09Speaker 6: genius into the pizza.
- 42:11Speaker 2: WHOA, So I bet that piece is delicious. I bet
- 42:14Speaker 2: it is.
- 42:15Speaker 4: Look, I'm a big fan of pizza parlor personality. I
- 42:18Speaker 4: don't know how else to say it, but yeah, you guys,
- 42:23Speaker 4: that's what I'm talking about. It's there's something about like
- 42:26Speaker 4: a hard work at pizza restaurant guy that I'm like,
- 42:28Speaker 4: I can vibe with this, you know.
- 42:31Speaker 1: I like how he was like, uh, yeah, I just
- 42:33Speaker 1: lift bags of flower That was like Pita's whole thing
- 42:35Speaker 1: in the Hunger Games.
- 42:37Speaker 2: He's so strong because he lifts those bags of flowers
- 42:40Speaker 2: the bakery.
- 42:41Speaker 6: Yeah, that's exactly what's going on here. And I unearthed
- 42:46Speaker 6: a tweet from Justin that pretty it's not cancelable, Okay
- 42:51Speaker 6: he's from Yeah, no, it's it's not cancelable. I just
- 42:56Speaker 6: found it very fascinating. So this was the Grammy's last
- 43:00Speaker 6: year that he tweeted this, and I'm assuming he tweeted
- 43:04Speaker 6: this like during Taylor's award for the Midnights.
- 43:08Speaker 4: Is Lana del Ray mentioned?
- 43:09Speaker 2: Lana del Ray has not.
- 43:10Speaker 6: Come up, so I don't have to do any more
- 43:12Speaker 6: Lana and Taylor talk for this segment. But Justin said,
- 43:16Speaker 6: I was a hashtag swifty before it was in style.
- 43:20Speaker 6: Exclamation mark. Congrats at Taylor Swift. Now that alone not
- 43:25Speaker 6: very interesting, but here's what makes it, like, you know,
- 43:29Speaker 6: worthy to be brought up on making the merge. He
- 43:31Speaker 6: took a picture of himself holding the Taylor Swift Holiday collection,
- 43:38Speaker 6: so he was saying, I was a Swiftie before it
- 43:40Speaker 6: was in style. Look at me, I'm holding this Christmas
- 43:43Speaker 6: EP from two thousand and seven EP.
- 43:45Speaker 2: Freaking Can I forget it? Ad a little bit about
- 43:51Speaker 2: this EP? Please? It is so clearly the worst thing
- 43:56Speaker 2: she's ever done.
- 43:57Speaker 8: But every year, let's put on Taylor Swift Silent Night,
- 44:01Speaker 8: every three songs.
- 44:02Speaker 4: It sucks.
- 44:04Speaker 2: Take it up with Justin. I've just said, Taylor, just
- 44:07Speaker 2: re record it. You can do better.
- 44:09Speaker 4: Taylor. She's kind of on that mission still, you know
- 44:12Speaker 4: she has a chance.
- 44:13Speaker 2: To make it better. Taylor please, and that's Christmas really
- 44:21Speaker 2: makes me mad. But here's my question. Does Charlie own
- 44:25Speaker 2: that EP on CD?
- 44:27Speaker 6: Does he know he might have competition for the number
- 44:29Speaker 6: one Taylor Swift fan on Survivor? Yeah, the number one Swifty.
- 44:33Speaker 6: We need to get Survivor Swifty from TikTok in the
- 44:35Speaker 6: comments to let us know, to break this down for us.
- 44:39Speaker 4: Wait, are you sure you want the TikTok swifties to
- 44:43Speaker 4: come and try to help us? Well, there's one specifically,
- 44:47Speaker 4: there's so much power there in what we There's there's.
- 44:50Speaker 2: A person named Oh, that's right, that's right. Yeah, she's awesome.
- 44:54Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, So you know the holiday EP that
- 44:57Speaker 6: was the last thing I had on Justin. So let's
- 44:59Speaker 6: move on to John in Christen's next contestant.
- 45:02Speaker 10: I was diagnosed with autism when I was just about
- 45:04Speaker 10: a year old. The first doctors were telling my parents
- 45:08Speaker 10: that I would never live independently, I'd never hold a job.
- 45:12Speaker 10: My parents they didn't give up on me. And now
- 45:14Speaker 10: I'm getting my PhD in engineering And I was the
- 45:17Speaker 10: first and only girl to play on the men's hockey
- 45:20Speaker 10: team at Georgia Tech. And I'm the captain of the
- 45:23Speaker 10: men's club team at Brown.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Whoa dude, he's playing hockey? That dudes are just punching
- 45:28Speaker 2: her in the face.
- 45:29Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean well, because I did watch, in fact,
- 45:33Speaker 4: the extended interview like a good host would. The answer
- 45:37Speaker 4: to that, apparently is yes, they target her.
- 45:43Speaker 2: They target this girl.
- 45:44Speaker 4: They target our autistic queen, or, as my counseling wife
- 45:49Speaker 4: would tell me in first person language, she's a queen
- 45:53Speaker 4: with autism.
- 45:55Speaker 15: So it's.
- 45:58Speaker 4: I am I am here to be of service and
- 46:01Speaker 4: to just say, Eva seems pretty cool. She really does.
- 46:06Speaker 2: So here's the things that I.
- 46:09Speaker 4: Wrote down.
- 46:09Speaker 2: She want to survive her drinking game.
- 46:11Speaker 4: That was like what she led with. She was like,
- 46:13Speaker 4: I want to survive her drinking game. And now she
- 46:16Speaker 4: is getting an engineering pH d. Now, guys, what do
- 46:20Speaker 4: you what do you think Eva is? What do you
- 46:22Speaker 4: think that she's studying with?
- 46:24Speaker 2: That's weird.
- 46:28Speaker 4: It's it's basically having to do with the whiskers on
- 46:31Speaker 4: seals and how you can use them in military purposes
- 46:35Speaker 4: for detecting things in the water.
- 46:37Speaker 2: So it's.
- 46:39Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was pretty awesome that she was
- 46:42Speaker 4: doing that.
- 46:42Speaker 2: And so she did say I heard those seals killed
- 46:45Speaker 2: Bin laden.
- 46:47Speaker 18: Use.
- 46:48Speaker 4: I hear it, six of them, you know, but they
- 46:53Speaker 4: they the thing that she's worried about. And I've got
- 46:56Speaker 4: to say, I'm worried for our queen with autism. She's
- 46:59Speaker 4: worried about those social cues guys, because they can get
- 47:02Speaker 4: real tricky. They get really tricky out there.
- 47:04Speaker 2: Do you feel like she did with the extended interview?
- 47:07Speaker 4: I felt like, truthfully, it was a bit much. Now really, yes, Now,
- 47:14Speaker 4: this is why I got a little concern, like oversharing.
- 47:16Speaker 4: It was a lot of oversharing, but there was something
- 47:20Speaker 4: there that I thought could prove aggravating to the other
- 47:24Speaker 4: contestants if she is just so in their face, you know.
- 47:29Speaker 4: And and there was a lot of talk of how
- 47:32Speaker 4: she's just one of the guys. I'm just one of
- 47:34Speaker 4: the guys. The guys except me, I'm one of them.
- 47:38Speaker 2: Got lots of grit.
- 47:39Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the.
- 47:40Speaker 2: Guys, we got lots and lots of grit. And uh
- 47:43Speaker 2: So there was a little bit of concern there.
- 47:45Speaker 4: But I think she's got the brains and she's definitely
- 47:47Speaker 4: got the brawn to approach survivor. But it's just gonna
- 47:50Speaker 4: be that social game it's gonna be a little tricky for.
- 47:55Speaker 19: Me.
- 47:55Speaker 6: Yeah, just to break it down a little bit. She
- 47:59Speaker 6: gets in fights with men on ice, she has a PhD.
- 48:03Speaker 6: She's trying to make seal whisker technology incredible.
- 48:07Speaker 4: For the military. She's kind of awesome.
- 48:09Speaker 2: She's going to be a great person to have on
- 48:11Speaker 2: the show.
- 48:11Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I hope she's on there for a long time.
- 48:13Speaker 4: And not only that, but I'm like, she sounds like
- 48:15Speaker 4: all around someone who's going to go very far in life.
- 48:19Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you know, she's very very cool.
- 48:23Speaker 2: All right.
- 48:23Speaker 20: Moving on, the night before we flew out to Fiji,
- 48:27Speaker 20: I was pitching multiple hundred million dollar projects. Get to
- 48:32Speaker 20: do pretty cool, impactful, big stuff. In so many parts
- 48:36Speaker 20: of my life, I control how things go. I have
- 48:40Speaker 20: to really get comfortable with not being in charge, even
- 48:44Speaker 20: though I love being in charge.
- 48:48Speaker 2: Have you heard that before?
- 48:50Speaker 6: Multiple red flags for me just in that lots of
- 48:54Speaker 6: the first of all, the million dollar thing, I feel
- 48:57Speaker 6: like she is she like legitimate Liz, Like you know,
- 49:00Speaker 6: Liz was lying about all of her money, But is
- 49:02Speaker 6: she like the Liz who actually has the most?
- 49:04Speaker 2: Was Liz really lying? Yes?
- 49:05Speaker 15: She was?
- 49:06Speaker 2: Yeah, you think she made millions off I had no
- 49:09Speaker 2: idea what she was talking about.
- 49:11Speaker 4: Yeah, you think she makes millions? Is that wild about apps?
- 49:13Speaker 4: I don't need.
- 49:16Speaker 2: Uh, Stephanie, she's thirty eight. She is a tech product lead.
- 49:21Speaker 2: I don't know what that means. But she's pitching million
- 49:23Speaker 2: dollar companies right before she gets on a plane. Yeah,
- 49:26Speaker 2: she's a relatively new Survivor fan.
- 49:27Speaker 8: She didn't start watching until the pandemic, and so she's newer,
- 49:32Speaker 8: but she's into it.
- 49:33Speaker 2: She loves it.
- 49:34Speaker 8: She is a hotshot deal maker, and she wants everybody
- 49:37Speaker 8: to know that she's a hot shot deal maker. Interestingly enough,
- 49:40Speaker 8: she was a middle school English teacher from nine until
- 49:44Speaker 8: twenty sixteen until she's working at Amazon and product product
- 49:50Speaker 8: management and then moving her way up to a senior
- 49:53Speaker 8: manager role. Her fun fact is about her breaking her
- 49:58Speaker 8: finger playing tetherball by her. Now this I bring this
- 50:02Speaker 8: up only to bring up the fact that I think
- 50:05Speaker 8: that she's a relatively clumsy person. Yeah, and just kind
- 50:09Speaker 8: of like, so, I'm trying to remember one of the
- 50:12Speaker 8: other the contestants that I have coming up talked about
- 50:19Speaker 8: one of the people that they had already met and
- 50:21Speaker 8: kind of that they think is going to be fun
- 50:23Speaker 8: to mess around with was a all they said was
- 50:26Speaker 8: a really tall woman with blonde hair, and that some
- 50:29Speaker 8: Stephanie up. But they were like, we were in the
- 50:31Speaker 8: buffet line and we couldn't figure out how to get
- 50:33Speaker 8: out of each other's way, and so we just kept.
- 50:35Speaker 2: Doing this number for a long time.
- 50:37Speaker 8: And like Stephanie's just I don't know, she's kind of
- 50:41Speaker 8: seems a little bit awkward, maybe a little bit clumsy,
- 50:45Speaker 8: but she's also one of those people that's like a
- 50:47Speaker 8: big deal.
- 50:48Speaker 2: She's a big deal. She wants you to know she's
- 50:49Speaker 2: a big deal. Very smart. Yes, she's very smart.
- 50:52Speaker 4: I'm all confused what happened as an elementary teacher to
- 50:55Speaker 4: make you think I can't work at this school anymore.
- 50:58Speaker 4: I'm gonna go work for Amazon money, probably the money
- 51:03Speaker 4: we're gonna go with the Mondet.
- 51:05Speaker 8: She admits that she's not very strong. She words that
- 51:08Speaker 8: it's going to hurt her in the challenges. She again
- 51:13Speaker 8: going back to the whole leadership thing. She says, quote,
- 51:17Speaker 8: I'm gonna literally have to sit on my hands and
- 51:19Speaker 8: hold back.
- 51:20Speaker 2: And allow other people to be in charge. Oh, she's
- 51:24Speaker 2: she's gonna.
- 51:25Speaker 8: I don't think she's gonna be able to control herselfing,
- 51:27Speaker 8: I don't think I don't think she is. If it come,
- 51:30Speaker 8: if she ever comes across a beware advantage, she.
- 51:32Speaker 2: Is not going to take it. Do it that way,
- 51:35Speaker 2: you will smart, in my opinion, and she has the
- 51:38Speaker 2: data to back it up. She says.
- 51:40Speaker 4: Quote.
- 51:40Speaker 8: I had a good friend of mine who helped me
- 51:42Speaker 8: put together a lot of analytics. We did a lot
- 51:45Speaker 8: of survivor sabermetrics, uh, and we looked at a bunch
- 51:50Speaker 8: of different questions and got a bunch of different data
- 51:53Speaker 8: to help. Maybe my medium take is that shot in
- 51:57Speaker 8: the dark is actually has a slightly higher good guy
- 52:00Speaker 8: percentage to me, and idols have a slightly worse good
- 52:04Speaker 8: guy percentage to send.
- 52:06Speaker 4: Yeah, what the bad guys lose more?
- 52:09Speaker 1: It has something to do with sabermetrics. And I was
- 52:12Speaker 1: hoping someone new I don't even know what that Chinese thing. Yeah, okay, yeah,
- 52:18Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 52:20Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 52:21Speaker 8: But my my guess is that shot in the darks
- 52:24Speaker 8: have a higher percentage helping and I slightly.
- 52:28Speaker 2: Worse if it helps.
- 52:30Speaker 4: In the context of of this sabermetrics, it's generally considered
- 52:35Speaker 4: a good guy UH kind of approach. It represents data
- 52:39Speaker 4: driven approach to evaluating players and people making decisions, often
- 52:45Speaker 4: leading to a more informed and statistically sound team. So
- 52:49Speaker 4: that's it's like a sweet sweeping statement for that.
- 52:52Speaker 2: All worked so well for Andy, yeah, yeah, and for
- 52:55Speaker 2: me last season. Remember I was running numbers too, and
- 52:58Speaker 2: it did cyber metrics. But the final quote, I think
- 53:03Speaker 2: sums it up.
- 53:04Speaker 8: Advantages are a disadvantage and I'm not interested in them.
- 53:10Speaker 2: So that's a Rachel I know. Yeah, it's interesting thing
- 53:12Speaker 2: she wasn't able to plum that. Yeah that season into
- 53:15Speaker 2: the saber metrics.
- 53:17Speaker 4: Off the data, there's gonna be more of a bad guy.
- 53:20Speaker 2: Number one thing. You're a good guy. One thing that
- 53:25Speaker 2: I saw about her in the research.
- 53:28Speaker 1: I thought it was really funny that they were like, hey,
- 53:30Speaker 1: what's your favorite Survivor series and she goes the.
- 53:32Speaker 2: Race Wars one.
- 53:34Speaker 1: Was really yeah, and I thought that was so funny
- 53:37Speaker 1: because people hate that season.
- 53:39Speaker 2: I agree with it though. It is a great Oh
- 53:45Speaker 2: my gosh, well that is that's Stephanie. That's Stephanie. Are
- 53:48Speaker 2: you ready to chase? I am all right?
- 53:50Speaker 15: Growing up stuff during was incredibly chat Wenjing kids were
- 53:55Speaker 15: pretty mean because I knew I would probably stop and
- 54:00Speaker 15: not knowing how someone would react to that, so it
- 54:05Speaker 15: really for me to be revealed. End. So now I
- 54:10Speaker 15: get to work as pe coach. I get to do
- 54:14Speaker 15: a job that I love and also have a positive
- 54:17Speaker 15: and back is incredible.
- 54:19Speaker 2: That was Mitch.
- 54:20Speaker 1: So Mitch's a pe coach, his big He actually has
- 54:23Speaker 1: one of the more like and this was the general
- 54:25Speaker 1: consensus online is that Mitch actually has like a genuine
- 54:29Speaker 1: like arc of like overcoming something.
- 54:32Speaker 2: He was bullied a lot for his stutter growing up.
- 54:34Speaker 1: All I could imagine when he was talking because a
- 54:37Speaker 1: lot of his like introducing himself thing was about the
- 54:39Speaker 1: stutter was imagine him being in the Final three and
- 54:44Speaker 1: making his case to the jury with the stutter and
- 54:47Speaker 1: winning what like.
- 54:48Speaker 2: That would be a really great season. He would win automatically.
- 54:51Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm interested to see how it kind of evolves
- 54:56Speaker 8: as the game evolves and the more tired he gets, yea,
- 55:01Speaker 8: the hungary or he is.
- 55:03Speaker 4: I always wondering about the pressure too, because sometimes like
- 55:06Speaker 4: that performance pressure with people that like struggle with stutters,
- 55:10Speaker 4: they they will sometimes get a little better if it's
- 55:14Speaker 4: high pressure, or they get really really aggressive. So I'm
- 55:20Speaker 4: interested to see kind of how that plays into it too.
- 55:23Speaker 2: What is there to know?
- 55:24Speaker 1: I will say that like he's already a big fan favorite. Okay,
- 55:27Speaker 1: Everything that anyone who was saying about him very positive.
- 55:30Speaker 1: A lot of comments from people that know this guy well,
- 55:33Speaker 1: A ton of people are like, knew him in college,
- 55:35Speaker 1: the sweetest guy ever ran into this guy at this concert.
- 55:38Speaker 1: He's one of them. So apparently this dude is just
- 55:40Speaker 1: everywhere a coach, So I would I think he's probably
- 55:45Speaker 1: physically fit. Yeah, he didn't really go into.
- 55:48Speaker 2: Anything like his coach. It could go either way.
- 55:50Speaker 1: I mean, no, he's not like he's not a bigger
- 55:52Speaker 1: guy like he he looks like he's in shape. But
- 55:54Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I don't know if he's
- 55:56Speaker 1: running marathons.
- 55:57Speaker 4: Dang.
- 55:58Speaker 2: You know interesting, I'm really interested to see him play.
- 56:01Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 56:02Speaker 1: I saw a couple of comments that were like, imagine
- 56:05Speaker 1: this guy shows up on the island, is the most
- 56:07Speaker 1: evil player of all time.
- 56:11Speaker 2: I'd still root for him. Yeah, I love that all right.
- 56:15Speaker 8: Next, I don't want to be a challenge beast because
- 56:18Speaker 8: that'll be a target.
- 56:19Speaker 2: But what about a monster like I'm in the closet,
- 56:21Speaker 2: I'm under the bed, I'm nasty. You don't want to.
- 56:23Speaker 4: Mess with me, but like you can't see me all
- 56:25Speaker 4: the time.
- 56:26Speaker 6: Yeah, so that was Joe Hunter. Yeah, challenge monster guys, Joe,
- 56:34Speaker 6: I'm conflicted. I don't I'm like, I don't know if
- 56:36Speaker 6: he's going to be voted out before the merge or
- 56:38Speaker 6: if he's going to win the whole game. Yeah, because well,
- 56:41Speaker 6: first of all, he has a really sad story as
- 56:45Speaker 6: to why he got into Survivor.
- 56:47Speaker 2: So this is from an article.
- 56:49Speaker 6: Recently, Hunter and his family helped pass Joanna's Law, which
- 56:53Speaker 6: as of January first, gives families the right to death
- 56:56Speaker 6: investigation records of their loved ones if there was a
- 56:59Speaker 6: history of domestic violence. The law honors the life of
- 57:04Speaker 6: Hunter's sister, Joanna, who died in twenty eleven.
- 57:07Speaker 4: Wow.
- 57:08Speaker 6: In an interview for Survivor, Hunter said, to get past
- 57:11Speaker 6: some of the pain, I had to get off the
- 57:12Speaker 6: couch and say, you know what, to honor her, To
- 57:14Speaker 6: be Joanna's voice, I'm going to give it a shot.
- 57:18Speaker 4: Wow, dude.
- 57:19Speaker 2: A lot of players with big kind of resiliency.
- 57:23Speaker 6: Yeah, it seems like a lot of people have a
- 57:26Speaker 6: you don't want to be next to them at the end.
- 57:27Speaker 6: Story for this season Yeah, But I noticed that he
- 57:30Speaker 6: mentioned in his video that he played for UCLA, and
- 57:33Speaker 6: my first thought was, I'm going to see if he
- 57:34Speaker 6: has a pro football reference page. I'm gonna see if
- 57:36Speaker 6: you like made it on the field, and he did.
- 57:39Speaker 6: He had three interceptions in my career at UCLA, and
- 57:43Speaker 6: I found a write up on the UCLA website about
- 57:45Speaker 6: one of his seasons from nineteen ninety nine. He gained
- 57:49Speaker 6: valuable experience as a red shirt freshman, appeared in all
- 57:52Speaker 6: eleven games, started the first four games of the year
- 57:55Speaker 6: before becoming a key reserve. He made two interceptions, was
- 57:59Speaker 6: credited with six past defenses, and had a career high
- 58:03Speaker 6: five tackles in his debut against Boise State and four
- 58:05Speaker 6: against Ohio State.
- 58:07Speaker 2: So, wow, we've got an athlete here.
- 58:09Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 58:11Speaker 4: I wonder how that would look on the sabermetrics, But
- 58:13Speaker 4: it says cerametrics good guy though, that's what it's saying.
- 58:15Speaker 8: It sounds like a good guy. Challenge beast sounds like
- 58:18Speaker 8: an understatement with this guy.
- 58:20Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 58:20Speaker 6: I mean, if you're if you're getting interceptions in college
- 58:24Speaker 6: at a high level, he might just be a challenge monster.
- 58:27Speaker 2: But how is he with puzzles?
- 58:28Speaker 6: We don't know that we will find out. That's something
- 58:31Speaker 6: that annoys me about Survivor a little bit. Everything has
- 58:34Speaker 6: to end in a puzzle. I'm kind of sick of it. Jeff,
- 58:36Speaker 6: come on, I know you're listening. Last season a lot
- 58:39Speaker 6: of puzzles, a whole lot of puzzles. So Joe's pet
- 58:43Speaker 6: peeves rude people, selfish people, mean people, people who tailgate, slash,
- 58:49Speaker 6: cut you off while driving above, bad hugs, people who
- 58:54Speaker 6: don't make eye contact, basically anything acting like a butthole.
- 58:59Speaker 1: Hmm, what qualifies with that, huck? I don't I mean,
- 59:02Speaker 1: if I meet the guy. Guys, I don't mean to
- 59:05Speaker 1: be a bummer, but I was looking at this article.
- 59:07Speaker 1: The article has been updated because Joe Hunter has a
- 59:11Speaker 1: disciplinary record, not always a good guy.
- 59:17Speaker 2: It says that.
- 59:19Speaker 1: The apartment for grabbing and shaking a recruit whoa, and
- 59:25Speaker 1: he was put on a ten day suspension for using
- 59:27Speaker 1: quote unquote personal friendships to get the police to leave
- 59:30Speaker 1: his house when they responded to a report of gunfires.
- 59:33Speaker 4: Oh, guys, allegedly, we'll throw That's what it's in the
- 59:39Speaker 4: Survivor article.
- 59:39Speaker 2: They had to include it because I guess people bringing
- 59:43Speaker 2: it up. Well, this was my job and I failed.
- 59:45Speaker 2: He's a great guy. Well, we don't know. We don't
- 59:49Speaker 2: know the whole we don't know. Yeah, he could make
- 59:52Speaker 2: last thing using personal relationships.
- 59:55Speaker 1: From what I understand, the cops showed up to his
- 59:56Speaker 1: house because they heard gunfire, and I guess he was
- 59:59Speaker 1: friends with the cop.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: So he was just like, hey, it's good, you can go.
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: I feel like me and Chaser even now.
- 1:00:05Speaker 6: Yeah, because yeah, I exposed his lack of history knowledge,
- 1:00:09Speaker 6: and then he exposed me for my lack of research
- 1:00:11Speaker 6: on my content.
- 1:00:12Speaker 19: That was.
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: That was a big I have imagine it was added
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: after it was.
- 1:00:16Speaker 15: It was.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: It was very like earlier today. I feel like I
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: almost shouldn't have brought it up. I feel like it
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: really brought the mood down.
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: If I can't imagine the Survivor producers not knowing that.
- 1:00:28Speaker 6: Right, he may have gotten the cops to leave his
- 1:00:30Speaker 6: house and shaken a recruit, but I mean his sister
- 1:00:34Speaker 6: still did die. Yes, yeah, yeah, so there there is
- 1:00:39Speaker 6: that part of it. Not it doesn't I don't think
- 1:00:41Speaker 6: totally discredit his story. If he got a little crazy
- 1:00:43Speaker 6: at work, okay, were off, Okay, So Mike Bloom asked
- 1:00:51Speaker 6: him for his most controversial Survivor take, and he goes,
- 1:00:55Speaker 6: you know, like D season, I feel like, if you
- 1:00:57Speaker 6: don't have an Austin or a Drew, she probably doesn't win.
- 1:01:00Speaker 6: And then you got Boston Rob and he's great. Blah
- 1:01:02Speaker 6: blah blah. Let me just say something, Joe, you know
- 1:01:06Speaker 6: D won her first attempt. D. I mean to me,
- 1:01:14Speaker 6: that kind of makes her better. And and then Joe's
- 1:01:21Speaker 6: point of like, you know, the alliance, Like if she
- 1:01:23Speaker 6: didn't have her alliance, Yeah, that's that's how the game works.
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: She made that alliance to win.
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: P D is just impartial partial because D won him
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: the Survivor Draft that season.
- 1:01:37Speaker 6: I'm correct here. We'll put this on TikTok. We'll let
- 1:01:41Speaker 6: Yeah fans to sell the.
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: Fans who are notoriously haters of the new Era.
- 1:01:47Speaker 4: I'm just saying, I'm gonna go out of the limit
- 1:01:49Speaker 4: say that p D is actually a bad guy. In
- 1:01:50Speaker 4: saber metrics.
- 1:01:51Speaker 6: At this point, I look, guys, D greater than Boston Rob.
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: I said, that's okay.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: Hey, I just checked my sabermetrics and the red light
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: sabers are bad guys.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: I gotta be honest.
- 1:02:07Speaker 8: I hate that you read the thing about sabermetrics because
- 1:02:10Speaker 8: it confused me more.
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: Yeah, when I was just kind of playing around with it. Wow, Jonathan,
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: way to ruin it.
- 1:02:16Speaker 4: I'm sorry that we can't all process information. Chase and Petie,
- 1:02:20Speaker 4: you got what I was saying. Anyway, Guys, we can
- 1:02:22Speaker 4: move forward if if you'll understand the speed at which.
- 1:02:25Speaker 21: We move forward, finally apply for survivor. I feel like
- 1:02:29Speaker 21: anyone in PR should get them out here, Like I
- 1:02:32Speaker 21: make a living persuading people to do things, and you
- 1:02:36Speaker 21: need to be able to like genuinely connect with people
- 1:02:39Speaker 21: on a human level, and so many of those skills,
- 1:02:42Speaker 21: you know, translate to being out here. And I know
- 1:02:44Speaker 21: I'm gonna crush it.
- 1:02:47Speaker 4: Dang, guys, we got Bianca, Proud Jersey girl out here.
- 1:02:51Speaker 4: Uh you know she she's got a good personality for this.
- 1:02:55Speaker 4: I think there were a lot of things going forward
- 1:02:58Speaker 4: that seemed promising. So Proud Jersey, you know, moves to Virginia.
- 1:03:04Speaker 4: She makes a living persuading people. She has no doubt
- 1:03:09Speaker 4: that she has what it takes, and she's got that
- 1:03:11Speaker 4: like strong Jersey aggression, you know, large Italian family. But
- 1:03:16Speaker 4: she refers to Jeff as her survivor godfather. Wow.
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: I thought, dang, that's wrong.
- 1:03:23Speaker 4: That's putting respect on the name, like we like, you know, honestly, guys,
- 1:03:29Speaker 4: straight up, I had no problems here.
- 1:03:32Speaker 15: I I her.
- 1:03:33Speaker 4: I thought that she had like a good balance in
- 1:03:36Speaker 4: even her like longer stuff where it's just like, you know,
- 1:03:40Speaker 4: having fun, but also you could see a little bit
- 1:03:43Speaker 4: of that like strength in there that could really push
- 1:03:45Speaker 4: someone far.
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: So, uh, no complaints here for Beyondes.
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: I I think PT's gonna really like her. Because she
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: was asked what her favorite Survivor winner was, I was gonna.
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: Bring this up.
- 1:03:57Speaker 6: I was, wow already I had already planned to say
- 1:03:59Speaker 6: that that I think Bianca. No, I'm glad you brought
- 1:04:02Speaker 6: it up so good because I was right about the
- 1:04:07Speaker 6: thing before. So we're talking about it again right now. Yeah,
- 1:04:10Speaker 6: so Bianca, she might be better than Boss a Rob.
- 1:04:13Speaker 6: Oh wow, crazy, it's my mission now to upset Chase
- 1:04:18Speaker 6: on this season's.
- 1:04:22Speaker 8: Last name was Roses too, And I don't know what
- 1:04:24Speaker 8: they're gonna do with that, but I feel like Roses
- 1:04:27Speaker 8: is just a good good looks good.
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: There's loss you can do with that. There's definitely like
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: a Roses of red violets are blue it's going to
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: be showing up at this it has to be Chase.
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: Did you find out any like she would shake any
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: recruits or anything. She killed a man, Reno, I just
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: watch him die. Oh no, that's crazy. Anything else, Jonathan, No,
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: that's it.
- 1:04:50Speaker 4: There did not seem to be any levels of aggression
- 1:04:52Speaker 4: with this contestant, so we could just move forward.
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: She seemed lovely, all right, moving on.
- 1:04:57Speaker 9: One of the cool things culturally about being Persian. And
- 1:05:00Speaker 9: then something that we don't see is we go out
- 1:05:02Speaker 9: of our way for our community. Bringing that into the
- 1:05:05Speaker 9: game is two sides of the same coin. I want
- 1:05:09Speaker 9: people to feel like this guy has.
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: My back, and I'm also gonna have to stab him
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: in their back, you know what I mean?
- 1:05:15Speaker 8: Oh that is a shocking Davari and this guy sucks.
- 1:05:22Speaker 8: You don't want I don't want anybody. I want everybody
- 1:05:26Speaker 8: to draft them.
- 1:05:29Speaker 15: And not me.
- 1:05:31Speaker 8: He's a thirty eight year old debate professor. He was
- 1:05:35Speaker 8: a Season forty six alternate, and there are clips upon
- 1:05:40Speaker 8: clips upon clips of Season forty six players talking about
- 1:05:44Speaker 8: how happy they were that this bearded guy didn't make
- 1:05:49Speaker 8: it because they thought he could win the whole thing.
- 1:05:52Speaker 8: Whoa he is the first Persian male to ever play
- 1:05:57Speaker 8: a survivor, which is fun. He as a said, he's
- 1:06:00Speaker 8: a debate coach, which I think is interesting, and he
- 1:06:03Speaker 8: believes it's going to be one of his secret weapons.
- 1:06:05Speaker 4: Obviously.
- 1:06:06Speaker 8: Man persuading and the social side of things is such
- 1:06:10Speaker 8: a big part of this and so I think that
- 1:06:12Speaker 8: could definitely help him in the show. This is what
- 1:06:14Speaker 8: I want to get into. He loves fire making, He
- 1:06:18Speaker 8: loves and he says this quote, we need to do
- 1:06:21Speaker 8: it more. The fact that it's only once doesn't make
- 1:06:24Speaker 8: any sense. Two people have to compete in fire when
- 1:06:27Speaker 8: everybody should learn how to make fire.
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: Huh, we need more. You got to earn everything, that's
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: the thing. You got to earn everything. Yeah, And this
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: is where this I like this.
- 1:06:38Speaker 8: Take the first juror spot is like, oh, you just
- 1:06:41Speaker 8: get to be the first jur because you were in
- 1:06:43Speaker 8: the group that wins.
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: Second.
- 1:06:44Speaker 8: No, man, these two people that got voted out during
- 1:06:47Speaker 8: that double tribal, they sit and they make fire and
- 1:06:50Speaker 8: then the person who wins gets.
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: To sit on the jury that then they become the
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: mayor of Ponderousa.
- 1:06:56Speaker 6: That's a great idea, So that's right. Idea I like
- 1:06:58Speaker 6: how he came in with id Yeah me. Wait, so
- 1:07:02Speaker 6: Brand is like, I hate this dude. Here's an excellent
- 1:07:05Speaker 6: point he made.
- 1:07:06Speaker 4: He because he got better ideas.
- 1:07:09Speaker 8: Just in case that wasn't clear. I hate this guy,
- 1:07:13Speaker 8: but he's got some good ideas. And hear what I'm saying,
- 1:07:19Speaker 8: I'm trying to make it.
- 1:07:21Speaker 15: See.
- 1:07:21Speaker 19: This guy's amazing, is what I you were trying to Guys,
- 1:07:29Speaker 19: this guy's freaking incredible the way more.
- 1:07:32Speaker 4: I was concerned because I'm I've watched this video as well,
- 1:07:36Speaker 4: and I was like, what why Brian hate this guy?
- 1:07:38Speaker 4: So he seems so cool.
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: He's incredible. I hate to be the bearer of bad
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: news again, are you kidding? Okay, this one doesn't really
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: reflect on him so much, but something about the person
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: he dated, Yes, okay, I do have that.
- 1:07:55Speaker 4: I do have that. Okay, Okay.
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: He dated allegedly dated Sherry Peppini.
- 1:08:03Speaker 18: The California woman who was sentenced to eighteen months in
- 1:08:07Speaker 18: prison for faking her kidnapping in September. Now Here was
- 1:08:12Speaker 18: the part that I was concerned about because they talk
- 1:08:14Speaker 18: about this and I was reading about Sherry because I
- 1:08:17Speaker 18: don't remember this story happening, and they talk about how
- 1:08:20Speaker 18: she plans this whole thing out with her boyfriend, and
- 1:08:23Speaker 18: I'm like, oh, yeah.
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: He's not he's not the boyfriend.
- 1:08:27Speaker 8: And he actually talks about how she's a compulsive liar
- 1:08:30Speaker 8: and when he found out that she was missing, he
- 1:08:33Speaker 8: immediately knew that it.
- 1:08:34Speaker 4: Was a lie.
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: Oh that gone girls situation. Yeah that's interesting, But I'll
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: leave you with this. He the reason why he's gonna win.
- 1:08:41Speaker 8: His quote, I'm the perfect combo, socially savvy, strategically competent
- 1:08:45Speaker 8: without being over the top, athletically underestimated.
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: Resilience is in my blood. In any game, I play
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: my eyes, stay on the prize, stay out like a
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: guy who was a debate coach. I think he could win.
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: He's real, he's guys, he's real good. He's gonna have
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: to play real low key though.
- 1:09:06Speaker 4: He can't be too charming and too good or these
- 1:09:08Speaker 4: people are gonna get him off the island.
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: That's that's that it would be my concern.
- 1:09:12Speaker 8: My concern is hearing the folks from forty six talk
- 1:09:17Speaker 8: so highly of him and the short amount of time
- 1:09:19Speaker 8: that they were around him.
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: It's like you immediately look.
- 1:09:22Speaker 8: At this guy and you're like this guy's a threat,
- 1:09:24Speaker 8: so he could because of that being an early vote.
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: So we'll see how it plays out.
- 1:09:29Speaker 4: Man. But I mean we saw that last season was
- 1:09:31Speaker 4: where tons of threats and strong players were gone early,
- 1:09:35Speaker 4: so we could end up with a repeat.
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: That's all right, that's all I got ready.
- 1:09:42Speaker 22: I'm going to present as someone that feels like they
- 1:09:45Speaker 22: can just help all these other contestants, and what they
- 1:09:47Speaker 22: don't realize is that I'm the biggest threat of the
- 1:09:50Speaker 22: entire cast, the scariest thing of the whole thing. It's
- 1:09:53Speaker 22: not the starving, it's not the sleeping on the beach.
- 1:09:56Speaker 22: It's like I have to sit here and be myself.
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: Guys, I want to introduce you the winner of this season,
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: Thomas Crottinger. Whoa this guy?
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: This is the second I knew he was gonna win
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: this season. He's got one of those jobs that as
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: much as he explains what he does, you get more
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: confused about what his job is. I don't think his
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: job's a real job. Let me break this down. So
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: he is a music executive that's already cloudy.
- 1:10:25Speaker 4: He is the guy.
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: So again, every time he's talked about it, he says
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: something different. He is at one point it claimed to
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: be the person who signed Olivia Rodrigo to Sony Records.
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: Okay, did comment who.
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: Olivia Rodrigou did comment on his Instagram post when he
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: had it on the island, and it is fact check
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: that he did sign Olivia Rodrigo in some capacity because
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: then someone else Wow, at one point on one of
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: his profiles or whatever, it's that he was the vice
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: president of marketing for Sony. But then in his long
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: interview that he did with Rob as a podcast, he
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: says that he doesn't work for Sony. He works for
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: a publishing company, which he every time his job I
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: get more confusing. Like he was like, so you know
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: when you're listening to a record, Yes, there is the
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: publishing of the record. Yeah, but then there is the
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: producing of the record. And he's like, I'm a part
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: of the team that helps get artists found by the
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: publishing or something like, I don't know.
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: It's very confusing. Case I'll explain it to you because
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: I do get it. It's okay.
- 1:11:28Speaker 4: I'm not saying now, I'm not doing another saber Metrics
- 1:11:31Speaker 4: dialogue for you.
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: So every person I've ever met that has one of
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: those jobs that just doesn't seem to make sense no
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: matter how it's explained. They're successful him life, and I
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: think that he could win the season. He's extremely charismatic,
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: he's extremely he comes across very kind, but he also
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: has that little like crisp of like, I don't think
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: you'd be afraid to cut down anyone in his way. Yeah, Like,
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: he's gonna be the kind of guy that's super charismatic,
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: friends with everyone, but also backstabs everyone.
- 1:12:02Speaker 4: There's there's a portion chase without diving into the details
- 1:12:06Speaker 4: of what this role would probably do, but I'm going
- 1:12:09Speaker 4: to tell you that it has a salesman personality need
- 1:12:13Speaker 4: with this type of job, and you also have to
- 1:12:17Speaker 4: be pretty cut through because you're going up against other
- 1:12:19Speaker 4: publishers and you're trying to sell yourself to these artists.
- 1:12:24Speaker 4: So there's a there's a real chance this guy could
- 1:12:28Speaker 4: be a very persuasive and good player.
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: Yeah that's what he thinks, So I will say. Someone
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: on Reddit said that he looks like if H and
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: M was a real person.
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: And they nailed it. Wow, I can't wait. I can't
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: wait for that. Wow, it was a driver's license. I
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: was like, probably if you have a vampire. Yeah, good
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: for you. All right, I think we did it. I
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: think we did all the Olivia songs, is that?
- 1:12:59Speaker 4: Yeah? All the ones?
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: I know that gave me dajo vu.
- 1:13:05Speaker 6: Man.
- 1:13:06Speaker 4: That was a brutal pun.
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: Man one step forward to look back and forth, that
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: song with the with Billy Joel in it.
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: We did it, guys.
- 1:13:19Speaker 6: I'm an Olivia stan I could do this for for
- 1:13:22Speaker 6: probably five more minutes.
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: I'm just kidding, not really. She only has two albums up.
- 1:13:25Speaker 8: Yeah, and then you can get into the High School
- 1:13:28Speaker 8: Musical the Musical stuff.
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: Unfortunately you've never seen it. I love that show.
- 1:13:33Speaker 4: I said it.
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: Did you talk about that on your d com podcast?
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: We did not.
- 1:13:38Speaker 8: We haven't gotten there yet, okay. I mean we're gonna
- 1:13:40Speaker 8: tal about High schol Musical obviously. Oh of course you
- 1:13:42Speaker 8: go to We're close, I think.
- 1:13:43Speaker 4: But you haven't talked about High School Musical the Musical
- 1:13:46Speaker 4: the series yet.
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: No, not yet, Jonathan, keep up. Okay, guys, we're on
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: this network. Yeah yeah, six months. We have three more.
- 1:13:58Speaker 6: Contestants to get to. But guys, we are on a
- 1:14:00Speaker 6: podcast network now, It's true. Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right.
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: Yeah. Are we moving on?
- 1:14:06Speaker 11: Yep?
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: Okay, here, here we go, we got three more.
- 1:14:09Speaker 12: Kind of always been like an adrenaline junkie, I guess,
- 1:14:11Speaker 12: worked as whitewater rafting instructor for like six summers in Colorado.
- 1:14:15Speaker 12: Currently the stun Performer got my commercial pile sizes. But
- 1:14:17Speaker 12: I love doing things that challenge me, and I have
- 1:14:19Speaker 12: a lot of hobbies. I guess I kind of indicate that.
- 1:14:22Speaker 12: So living under pressure has just been part of parcel
- 1:14:24Speaker 12: of my life. So no matter what challenges come my way, like,
- 1:14:27Speaker 12: I'm always gonna be able to remain calm and compose,
- 1:14:29Speaker 12: and I think it's going to bode very well for survivor.
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: Interesting.
- 1:14:32Speaker 6: All right, that was David kind David. Let's talk about David.
- 1:14:36Speaker 6: He's looking real, Jack Baby, I'm talking real Jecked.
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: He is just yeah listening. He could rip his shirt
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: off like hul Coke, and his biceps are huge. And
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: we know the guy that Kevin was talking about as
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: being the really big guy.
- 1:14:51Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he would have to be because, I
- 1:14:54Speaker 6: mean we know from the preview that those muscles come
- 1:14:57Speaker 6: from chocolate milk.
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: Yeah, chocolate milk, cap America.
- 1:15:00Speaker 6: Baby, That's right, That's what I'm talking about here, chocolate
- 1:15:03Speaker 6: Milk Captain America, and he mentioned being a stuntman and
- 1:15:07Speaker 6: a pilot in that interview, So here's some of his
- 1:15:10Speaker 6: parade interview. They asked him where did this desire to
- 1:15:14Speaker 6: become a pilot come in? And he said, I love
- 1:15:16Speaker 6: doing stunts, but again, at thirty years old, the wear
- 1:15:19Speaker 6: and tear on my body started to hit pretty hard.
- 1:15:21Speaker 6: No pun intended, Yeah there it is, and so I
- 1:15:27Speaker 6: wanted a career that I guess would provide the stability
- 1:15:30Speaker 6: that I lacked doing stunts, and that's why I decided
- 1:15:33Speaker 6: to become a pilot. Really, what happened is I had
- 1:15:36Speaker 6: gotten my sports pilot certificate as a hobby. I'm a
- 1:15:39Speaker 6: man of many hobbies, and literally I was at a wedding.
- 1:15:41Speaker 6: One of my good friends is getting married and he
- 1:15:43Speaker 6: had just gotten his pilot license and he turned to
- 1:15:46Speaker 6: me and he said, hey, you want to fly, I've
- 1:15:48Speaker 6: got nobody to fly with. And I was like, okay, yeah, sure.
- 1:15:52Speaker 6: That was literally my reaction. The next day I signed
- 1:15:54Speaker 6: up for a pilot's license, and then eventually, after I
- 1:15:57Speaker 6: got my sports pilot's certificate, I realized, you know what,
- 1:16:01Speaker 6: this can probably be a pretty good career.
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: Might as well, do this does he pilot people? I
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: don't know. I hope not.
- 1:16:08Speaker 8: I gotta be honest. I don't want I don't want
- 1:16:11Speaker 8: my pilot. This is now a new fear of mine.
- 1:16:14Speaker 8: If you're a pilot and you have a past in stunts, I'm.
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: Not interested like you. You should have to tell us
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: that beforehand.
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: That's crazy the bat I did work on the movie
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: John Wick in twenty sixteen.
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: Please keep your seat belts on. We're about to take off.
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: If we crash, I'll be OK. I know what to
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: tuck and roll. So David Kind, who, like I said,
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: you know, looking real jacked.
- 1:16:43Speaker 6: But he was asked by Mike Bloom what his most
- 1:16:46Speaker 6: controversial hot take was didn't have anything to do with
- 1:16:49Speaker 6: d This time.
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: He said something I really agreed with.
- 1:16:52Speaker 6: He said, I would love some of those one on
- 1:16:54Speaker 6: one brutal challenges back man, and yeah, I I loved
- 1:17:00Speaker 6: those people trying to knock each other off a platform. Mm.
- 1:17:04Speaker 4: It was really good.
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: That's the first one that comes.
- 1:17:08Speaker 8: To mind, Like a marrying American gladiator mud wrestling that
- 1:17:14Speaker 8: they used to do some of that.
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: Nice. Sounds like he misses the glory days, you know.
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, I'm.
- 1:17:20Speaker 8: Watching Australia right now and they did a little of
- 1:17:22Speaker 8: that and one of the challenges and I was like,
- 1:17:24Speaker 8: this is fun, this is fun.
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: There gets to be an err and Survivor where the
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: challenges get dangerous.
- 1:17:30Speaker 8: Oh I uh for people that don't know, I'm pretty
- 1:17:35Speaker 8: new to Survivor. I've only seen a few seasons, started
- 1:17:38Speaker 8: a couple of years ago, and so I'm making my
- 1:17:40Speaker 8: way through the series right now.
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: But the leap from like just the challenges from.
- 1:17:47Speaker 8: Season one to season two is insane, Like it is
- 1:17:51Speaker 8: so much more thought out, and it's like, oh, wow,
- 1:17:53Speaker 8: that's what happens when.
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: You budget, you can actually plan through challenges and stuff.
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: Speaking of you talking about kind of knew the Survivor,
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: that's kind of my favorite thing about David in his interview, Uh,
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: he's never watched the show.
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: WHOA.
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: In fact, when he had his one on one interview
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: with Jeff Probes, the producer was like, all right, you're
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: about to be one of them, Jeff, And he goes
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: Jeff who No, he still made and then he typed
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: in Jeff Probes into Google and said, oh it's the host.
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: Yeah you know, no, no, dude, what makes me so
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: excited about this is it's been so long since we've
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: had players on the island that haven't watched the show
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: and aren't super fans, and they are what makes the
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: season so great. Because they don't know about all of
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: the strategy on strategy on strategy, they're going to walk
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: around and be like, all right, someone might have an idol,
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: so we should uh, we should vote them out.
- 1:18:48Speaker 6: Yeah, Jeff said he wasn't gonna cast people who didn't
- 1:18:52Speaker 6: know the show anymore because of that strategy on strategy thing.
- 1:18:55Speaker 6: He's like, whoever doesn't know would be so behind.
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: But I guess he won.
- 1:19:00Speaker 6: Think she was confronted with somebody who's like, hey, I
- 1:19:02Speaker 6: just googled you.
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: He was like, you know what, I respected.
- 1:19:07Speaker 8: David Like David Still, when he is being interviewed by
- 1:19:11Speaker 8: Mike Bloom on the Beach, Still hadn't seen the show.
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: This was in his Parade dot Com interviews gratory with
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: watching the show, not gonna lie, not a whole lot. Wow,
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: I have to imagine he watched a little bit. Yeah,
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: he said, Okay, he watched the first few seasons with
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: his family when he was young, and then admittedly never
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: watched it again.
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: Until after I applied.
- 1:19:34Speaker 20: Wow.
- 1:19:35Speaker 4: Wow.
- 1:19:35Speaker 6: It could have been an agent thing of like, hey,
- 1:19:37Speaker 6: let's get you some more work. Here's this show survivor
- 1:19:42Speaker 6: kind of.
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: Wow, all right, that's interesting. All right, he's interesting. He
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: is jacked. He was Jack is jacked. All right, two more,
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: here we go.
- 1:19:55Speaker 14: They definitely had an expectation of me, like the typical
- 1:19:58Speaker 14: quiet bea South Asian girl, and unfortunately they had me instead.
- 1:20:04Speaker 14: I was intentionally annoying and that phil hasn't really changed
- 1:20:07Speaker 14: for me. I want to show them you raise a
- 1:20:10Speaker 14: very strong woman. I want to see that and be
- 1:20:13Speaker 14: like proud of like the daughter that they made.
- 1:20:16Speaker 4: Guys, this is Camilla. Camilla Kay is what I'm gonna
- 1:20:19Speaker 4: call her. And uh, you know, this was an interesting
- 1:20:23Speaker 4: interview for me to watch because I went very back
- 1:20:26Speaker 4: and forth on how I felt how I felt like
- 1:20:28Speaker 4: she would do. But here's what we do know right
- 1:20:31Speaker 4: out of the gate is that she does not have
- 1:20:33Speaker 4: a single AB. That was one thing that she made
- 1:20:36Speaker 4: sure to say she has not had an AB before
- 1:20:39Speaker 4: say it one more time. She has not had a
- 1:20:42Speaker 4: single ab.
- 1:20:44Speaker 15: AB.
- 1:20:44Speaker 6: So she means like visibly like yeah, she's saying I
- 1:20:47Speaker 6: don't have an AB. Yeah, usually either they all show
- 1:20:51Speaker 6: up or none of them.
- 1:20:52Speaker 4: Yeah, that's but look, guys, again, I'm directly quoting what
- 1:20:56Speaker 4: she said. I didn't just make that sentence up. Then
- 1:20:59Speaker 4: she does not have a single app.
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: I wonder how would you train an individual app?
- 1:21:04Speaker 8: And not the.
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: Tiny little little sit ups, you know. But here's the thing.
- 1:21:10Speaker 4: She's also a software engineer. We got a lot of
- 1:21:13Speaker 4: computer nerds on this thing, and it's gonna we're gonna
- 1:21:16Speaker 4: see what happens here.
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: But she's very funny, very funny.
- 1:21:21Speaker 4: But she hates not feeling listened to.
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: This was a big thing.
- 1:21:27Speaker 4: She hates not feeling like people are listening to her.
- 1:21:30Speaker 4: And that might be a problem playing Survivor because especially
- 1:21:33Speaker 4: early on, Yeah, you're gonna you're having to kind of
- 1:21:36Speaker 4: stick your neck out there and hope that people are
- 1:21:38Speaker 4: paying attention to you. It may bother her a lot,
- 1:21:41Speaker 4: and if she ends up on the bottom, she may
- 1:21:45Speaker 4: end up with like a Banu style collapse where it's like,
- 1:21:47Speaker 4: what's happening to me? So she does. She says she
- 1:21:51Speaker 4: doesn't need her ego fed. She's like, I don't need that.
- 1:21:55Speaker 4: I'm fine on my own. But she also said she
- 1:21:59Speaker 4: is intentional annoying to people. Okayat that seems like a
- 1:22:05Speaker 4: terrible way to play the game. She also said in
- 1:22:10Speaker 4: her in her interview she is looking to find a
- 1:22:13Speaker 4: Giga Chad on this season. Yeah, she says she wants
- 1:22:17Speaker 4: a Giga Chad, and then she says she's gonna ditch
- 1:22:20Speaker 4: him right after the season.
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: So David, yeah, yeah, look if Chocolate Milk Boy, yeah,
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: Chocolate Milk Boy already got a target on his back.
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: But you know, in a way he was not expecting.
- 1:22:31Speaker 6: But David and Camilla alliance, the Donkey Kong Alliance.
- 1:22:36Speaker 4: And she also mentions though that she's a big fan
- 1:22:40Speaker 4: of bringing her Nintendo Switch with her places and playing
- 1:22:44Speaker 4: things like Starduo Valley and open world survival games, and
- 1:22:48Speaker 4: now she feels like this is a you know, an
- 1:22:51Speaker 4: open world game that she said she seems nice but
- 1:22:55Speaker 4: maybe intentionally annoying.
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: The line I don't like is the thing about not
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: liking when people don't listen to her.
- 1:23:02Speaker 8: Yeah, because it makes me feel like she's gonna try
- 1:23:05Speaker 8: to like be a leader early on, even though she
- 1:23:09Speaker 8: probably shouldn't, just because she wants people to listen to her,
- 1:23:11Speaker 8: and then she's gonna fumble it.
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: Yeah, right, here's what I'm gonna I'm gonna give you
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: guys the heads up right now. I'm gonna be gunning
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: to draft her. Oh, everything I've seen about her, it
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: seems like she's so full of like a child like whimsy,
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: and it really seems like her sole intention is to
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: go onto this show and cause chaos. She's talked about
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: how her favorite player is Tony, So if you know
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: who that is, you know his kind of game style.
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: But she just talked about she just wants to She
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: just wants to cause chaos. And I think that that's
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: something we haven't seen in a while.
- 1:23:47Speaker 4: I think that's a very interesting perspective. I even in
- 1:23:50Speaker 4: watching her interview, I was thinking, I'm not opposed to
- 1:23:53Speaker 4: her being on my team. I just want to see
- 1:23:56Speaker 4: how this intentionally annoying aspect goes for the.
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: First two episodes.
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: And I know, I know we're running long, and I
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: don't want to get too much into my strategy here,
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: but I mean, think about the last few seasons.
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: The annoying players make it really really far.
- 1:24:13Speaker 4: This is true, but are they intentionally annoying?
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: I would say Andy was not intentionally anything. Sue was
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: intentionally young they got.
- 1:24:24Speaker 6: To come after a team, but it's only team PDS
- 1:24:27Speaker 6: players getting roasted.
- 1:24:28Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, you handed us when you started drafting them.
- 1:24:32Speaker 4: You handed the keys over to the house for us
- 1:24:35Speaker 4: to walk right in.
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: So d is the greatest player of all time? God
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: all right, one more one more.
- 1:24:44Speaker 3: Well that I went to was in a fluent white community.
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: The community that I grew up in was a black
- 1:24:48Speaker 3: urban community. I work with some of the richest individuals
- 1:24:51Speaker 3: in the world, but I've also lived with certain individuals
- 1:24:53Speaker 3: who don't have a dollar to their name. I feel
- 1:24:55Speaker 3: like it's maybe better every time I've been around the
- 1:24:57Speaker 3: new group of people and I learned something new. That's
- 1:25:00Speaker 3: why I think I'm going to be good at Survivor.
- 1:25:01Speaker 3: If I can bring that story to the game and
- 1:25:04Speaker 3: like explain to people why it's important to seek out
- 1:25:06Speaker 3: other people who are different than you, then I think
- 1:25:08Speaker 3: I'd be pretty pumped.
- 1:25:09Speaker 4: Up about that. Mm hmmmm.
- 1:25:11Speaker 8: That's Kyle Frasier. He's thirty one, he's an attorney. He's
- 1:25:15Speaker 8: the guy who was talking to about earlier. Who's going
- 1:25:17Speaker 8: to lie about his occupation. Yes, he's going to say
- 1:25:21Speaker 8: that he's a teacher. He was a teacher. In his defense,
- 1:25:26Speaker 8: he used to teach ged courses to at a juvenile
- 1:25:29Speaker 8: detention center before becoming an attorney.
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: So he's just not going to give them his current occupation.
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: It's going to be one that he had. I was,
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: but he's going to say that he is. But regardless, it.
- 1:25:42Speaker 4: Seems like our long way to say that he's gonna
- 1:25:44Speaker 4: lie about whatever helps you sleep, buddy, whatever helps you sleep, Kyle.
- 1:25:49Speaker 8: He says that he is an impulsive person, which he
- 1:25:53Speaker 8: thinks may work against him.
- 1:25:57Speaker 4: It's good to think of it that way, because at
- 1:25:59Speaker 4: least then you're aware right of a potential pitfall for yourself.
- 1:26:05Speaker 4: I think that's one thing that kind of concerns me
- 1:26:07Speaker 4: with a lot of the players, is they there's not
- 1:26:11Speaker 4: a lot of them talking about things they think they'll
- 1:26:12Speaker 4: be bad at. And I think that a good player
- 1:26:16Speaker 4: is pretty aware of, oh I'm not good at this,
- 1:26:18Speaker 4: you know.
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:26:19Speaker 8: He gets a little bit more into details as to
- 1:26:21Speaker 8: what he means. He says, I'm good at keeping a secret.
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: I'm a lawyer.
- 1:26:25Speaker 8: Obviously there's stuff that I have to keep, and I'm
- 1:26:28Speaker 8: not just gonna blurt stuff out. When he talks about
- 1:26:30Speaker 8: being impulsive, he says like with challenges, Like when he's
- 1:26:35Speaker 8: really excited and he's in the moment, he kind of
- 1:26:37Speaker 8: is a little bit more impulsive. So even if he's
- 1:26:39Speaker 8: at a challenge and he's like, I can't dive, if
- 1:26:42Speaker 8: the opportunity presents itself to dive, he's gonna dive.
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: And he may belly flop, but he's gonna do it.
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: So that's what he means when he says impulsive, So
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: we'll okay. Plays out in the show. He wants to
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: play the game as a quote people first type game,
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: and he wants other players to think that he's genuine.
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: Whether or not he is, I don't know.
- 1:27:03Speaker 8: He wants him to think that he is, and he says, quote,
- 1:27:08Speaker 8: if I win, I think it has to be a
- 1:27:11Speaker 8: dominant game. I run the sort of scenarios in my head.
- 1:27:16Speaker 8: I don't know how I can hide in a lot
- 1:27:18Speaker 8: of ways. I have to come out and I have
- 1:27:21Speaker 8: to play hard.
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: Oh, he's got winter energy.
- 1:27:24Speaker 4: He does, He really does.
- 1:27:26Speaker 2: That's winter energy. That doesn't work in my opinion. I
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: don't know. There's a lot of people.
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: I don't think there's been a single person that we've
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: talked about today that I'm like they're a weak player.
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really strong.
- 1:27:38Speaker 8: And I think the thing that's most interesting to me
- 1:27:41Speaker 8: about this cast, if you will, is the ages that
- 1:27:46Speaker 8: we have. We have a really nice wide range of ages,
- 1:27:51Speaker 8: and I think that's gonna make for some interesting gameplay.
- 1:27:53Speaker 4: I mean, here's what I want. Is is it too
- 1:27:55Speaker 4: much to ask that Debbie comes back just to see
- 1:27:58Speaker 4: what happens? Maybe Philip, if he's not still a letter.
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: Jonathan. Is Kristen still there?
- 1:28:07Speaker 4: Uh no, but she's with me in spirit because we're
- 1:28:11Speaker 4: a team, we're one single unit.
- 1:28:13Speaker 6: Because I wanted to bring something up before we left,
- 1:28:16Speaker 6: but it is crucial that Kristin be there.
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: So do I need to save it for next week?
- 1:28:20Speaker 4: This bit? How about you ask me the question and
- 1:28:25Speaker 4: I tell you whether or not that it's.
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: Oh no, I know what I wanted to bring up,
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: the board game thing. Oh let's just roast his punk ass.
- 1:28:34Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 1:28:35Speaker 4: Wait a second, Wait a second, wait a second. Look, guys,
- 1:28:39Speaker 4: y'all are roasting meat preemptively because I bought the Survivor
- 1:28:43Speaker 4: board game.
- 1:28:43Speaker 6: It wasn't the fact that you bought the board it
- 1:28:46Speaker 6: was the circumstances, the things that we found out from Kristin, but.
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: I'll do you think you act like you act like
- 1:28:53Speaker 2: it's a deep dark sis. Does he murder somebody to
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: get this game?
- 1:28:57Speaker 22: No?
- 1:28:57Speaker 4: No, no, no no.
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: While Pete pulls up the text. So this is what happened.
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: Jonathan sends us a edited video I did social media
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: video of him going to the store purchasing the Survivor
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: board games dropped.
- 1:29:13Speaker 2: Yeah, he sends the video, and then this is what happened.
- 1:29:15Speaker 6: But also that video never got posted anywhere, so it
- 1:29:18Speaker 6: was like, first was just for us.
- 1:29:19Speaker 4: I honestly, I truthfully sent it to just y'all, and
- 1:29:22Speaker 4: then I was like, I don't think I'm gonna post it,
- 1:29:24Speaker 4: but man, it was kind of fun to put it together.
- 1:29:25Speaker 4: It took me five minutes. What do you I do
- 1:29:27Speaker 4: it for a living. Now, Chase you get it.
- 1:29:29Speaker 6: So Jonathan sends us the video and all he says
- 1:29:33Speaker 6: is sorry, Kristen, and then Kristen says below it in.
- 1:29:36Speaker 2: All caps, are you kidding?
- 1:29:38Speaker 6: Literally last night we discussed no more buying games. The
- 1:29:44Speaker 6: previous night. It was like twelve hours later. Jonathan goes
- 1:29:48Speaker 6: to Target.
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: I was crying laughing because they had they had a
- 1:29:53Speaker 1: conversation in their homes. Yeah, Jonathan, we gotta slow down
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: buying boardgame in not twenty four hours later.
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: He goes and buys, and it's a video of him
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: buy against.
- 1:30:06Speaker 6: He sends it to h with his wife and Jonathan
- 1:30:10Speaker 6: before you talk, there's another Christian message where christ And
- 1:30:14Speaker 6: said Jonathan has so many that are stored in random
- 1:30:17Speaker 6: spaces and closets throughout the house.
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:30:19Speaker 4: Yeah, looks.
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: Problem like that.
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: Jonathan sends us a picture of like his board game collection,
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: and I'm like, dude, who are you playing these board games?
- 1:30:29Speaker 4: I used to play him with people before we had
- 1:30:31Speaker 4: a child. That's truthing it, but it's used. The thing, guys.
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: I do love a good board game, I really do.
- 1:30:37Speaker 4: And I have a lot of board games, and I
- 1:30:39Speaker 4: have played all of those board games but with human people,
- 1:30:43Speaker 4: with human people.
- 1:30:44Speaker 8: But just really quickly take us through the thought process
- 1:30:48Speaker 8: of it's nighttime. My wife says, no more board games.
- 1:30:51Speaker 8: You wake up next day, you say.
- 1:30:54Speaker 4: Target? Where I went to Target? I'm gonna walk you
- 1:30:56Speaker 4: with I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you the exact thought
- 1:31:00Speaker 4: process of this.
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: Ready, so crying, Kristin. We're cleaning right, and I'm like,
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: I got a lot of board games.
- 1:31:08Speaker 4: I'm just gonna donate, right, Like there's local youth groups
- 1:31:11Speaker 4: they could they'll enjoy these, and I've had my fun, Right,
- 1:31:14Speaker 4: I donate. I'm gonna guess ten board games, right, They're
- 1:31:18Speaker 4: out of the house, They're out of here. So the
- 1:31:21Speaker 4: next day I wake up and it's like Survivor game
- 1:31:23Speaker 4: dropped and the mental gymnastics. I cleanly went through and
- 1:31:28Speaker 4: scored a perfect ten, where like, huh, I just got
- 1:31:32Speaker 4: rid of ten games, which sounds like I just got
- 1:31:34Speaker 4: rid of nine games actually, And then I got in
- 1:31:37Speaker 4: my car, I drove to Target, I filmed myself, walked
- 1:31:41Speaker 4: in Target, walked straight to the section, took it off
- 1:31:44Speaker 4: the shelf, went to self checkout, wrung it up with
- 1:31:48Speaker 4: nothing else, walked out to the car and unboxed it
- 1:31:51Speaker 4: and sent the video. And I thought, I'm gonna send
- 1:31:54Speaker 4: it to the group because Kristin can only say so
- 1:31:58Speaker 4: much with caption. Yeah, she's oh yeah, I forgot about
- 1:32:02Speaker 4: the man, Yeah, because you produced a video.
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: When I go for go for it, and then what
- 1:32:10Speaker 2: kills me is.
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: Like Kristen's at work, Yeah, she works a full time job,
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: just at home. Like I think I'm gonna go to Yeah. Yeah, look,
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: look left the baby. Yeah, I actually left the baby
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: at Target. I was like, could you hold on to
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: this while I get this board game real quick? So look, guys,
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: the thing is that I do love board games and
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: I'm not gonna.
- 1:32:36Speaker 4: Apologize for it.
- 1:32:38Speaker 2: And uh, do you like her wife?
- 1:32:41Speaker 4: I like my wife so much and my wife likes
- 1:32:43Speaker 4: me so much that I know she's not gonna leave
- 1:32:46Speaker 4: me for buying a Survivor board game.
- 1:32:48Speaker 6: You know she likes you enough to shield you from
- 1:32:51Speaker 6: drafting alone again.
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, Jonathan, I've been married.
- 1:32:55Speaker 4: It'll be seven years. Do know better?
- 1:33:01Speaker 19: Oh?
- 1:33:01Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe me. I knew exactly what I was doing.
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: Guys, Dude, I cannot stress.
- 1:33:06Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: I think I texted PD two hours afterwards. I'm still
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: laugh Yeah, Jonathan, like I thought I was a ridiculous person.
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: And then I started doing a podcast with Jonathan. Yeah,
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: so Christen. Another text from Christen.
- 1:33:21Speaker 6: Actually we're getting a piano today, so we had to
- 1:33:23Speaker 6: move a bunch of furniture around, which is why we
- 1:33:25Speaker 6: were talking about the game storage capacity, which normally that's
- 1:33:30Speaker 6: a hard drive.
- 1:33:30Speaker 2: But for you it's a cabinet.
- 1:33:34Speaker 4: Can we also talk about the fact that I moved
- 1:33:36Speaker 4: an entire eighty eight key wooden piano into this house
- 1:33:39Speaker 4: and she made me get rid of ten board games,
- 1:33:41Speaker 4: saying we didn't have the space. And I was like, Kristen,
- 1:33:43Speaker 4: I don't feel like that's even you know, but.
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: You're the musician. I love it.
- 1:33:47Speaker 4: I'm playing.
- 1:33:48Speaker 2: She does so win war. Here's the thing, guys, here's
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: the thing.
- 1:33:58Speaker 4: I see it as an absolute win win for everybody,
- 1:34:01Speaker 4: you know. And that's why that's why Kristin and I
- 1:34:03Speaker 4: are on the same team, is because she can only
- 1:34:05Speaker 4: be so mad at me.
- 1:34:07Speaker 6: Right, what a podcast we did? We recapt all the
- 1:34:12Speaker 6: contestants we got into it. Maybe the last thing if
- 1:34:17Speaker 6: you know, out of all the contestants we covered, who
- 1:34:19Speaker 6: would your winner pick be. I'm gonna give it to
- 1:34:21Speaker 6: Mary just for fun. Okay, dang, I'm gonna go Camilla.
- 1:34:27Speaker 6: I mean definitely not Shaheen. And I want it on
- 1:34:30Speaker 6: the record. He's definitely not winning. No one should take him.
- 1:34:38Speaker 4: I I really think that Bianca could go really far.
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: Guys. There you go, all right, I'm not I'm not
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: gonna pull up. I want the dude that's had problems
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: with the law.
- 1:34:48Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he needs a win, you know, I think.
- 1:34:50Speaker 6: That does it.
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: Oh that was fun. That was a lot of fun.
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: Uh I guess we'll be back lasting
