  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_01: So where are we?
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_01: I actually saw some headlines that I had to not read because now
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_01: that I've mentioned it, they're in my feed now.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_01: So I have to avoid for spoilers.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: So what's going on?
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: So if you remember at the end of last week, they had basically buried alive everybody.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: They were in caskets in the ground and they were reading off the names of people
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: who were not murdered in plain sight.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: And if you remember the murder in plain sight was basically needed to be killed
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: by someone tossing them an apple.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: That someone being Joe in this case.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_01: And somebody dropped it, right?
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_01: Didn't they drop it or miss it?
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: The first person Joe tossed it to missed it.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: And then he had to play some games and try to act like nothing was going on
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: to bring it back around.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: And so this episode started out with.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: Basically, they narrowed it down.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: There was like four people left in the coffins, Joe being one of them.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: And the woman next to him, I believe her name was Naya, was the one that had been murdered.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: And the way we found out was Joe,
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: their coffins were kind of like connected almost,
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: or at least they could hear like the two in pairs.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: So not like the other two people couldn't hear, but the person Joe was connected to was her.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: She could hear him.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: And he basically said, I was like, I'm the traitor.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: Like I threw you that apple.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: Like that was a murder in plain sight.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: I killed you.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: I love you.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so sorry.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: And she started crying.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: It was, yeah.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: So it was a little tough and then they got out and then her like tombstone burst
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: into flames and yeah, everybody else got out.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was pretty crazy.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: So that kind of wrapped.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: Then they all kind of headed back inside,
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: talked about, you know, what had happened, why it had happened.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and then there was one particular faithful Victor who knew what had happened.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: Um, he knew that it had to do with fruit.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: He thought it was super weird that Joe who never eats fruit happened
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: to be eating fruit that night and walking around with fruit.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: They're calling it fruit gate.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: Um,
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: And, uh,
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: Tamika was also, uh,
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: enjoying fruit that evening,
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: which just seemed kind of like strange and she was offering it to people.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: So this guy was like really onto them.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and so he,
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: the next day was like really trying to convince people
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: that this is what had happened.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and that was kind of the end of that.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: Then it goes on, they do like a challenge.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: The challenge was particularly interesting again for the funeral industry.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: They had to find severed heads in a laboratory,
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: listen to their screams,
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: relay the screams to people outside who then had to go find that scream in
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: a cemetery and match it.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, wow.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: And then they banked money for the pot by doing that.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing too particularly exciting came out of that other than They had to run back
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: and forth from the castle to the cemetery.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: And Joe did struggle with the run a little bit.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: But I guess, you know, other than that, it was nothing too exciting there.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now, there were
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: other people.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: The other people were walking around with fruit.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: So is it like that obvious that there are that were the three people
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_01: with fruit noticed walking with fruit?
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: Were other people handling fruit as well?
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_01: Or is it or is this a quick end journey?
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think it was mostly them.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: I think when this occurred, it was like 10 o'clock at night.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: It was kind of strange that they had been so fixated on fruit at that point in time.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: But that being said,
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: Victor was trying to really push this narrative that it was the fruit that did it.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: And then they got to the round table to do the discussion and to vote someone out.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: And Victor went in with the intention of focusing on Tamika with the fruit idea.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: And just nobody believed him.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: He tried really hard to rally people and it just did not work.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: So he was the only one that voted on that.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody else voted somewhere else.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: A lawyer named Michael got voted out, which is the guy that Joe was particularly close with.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: And so That it ended up being completely spun off of Joe and Tamika.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: Victor still knows and thinks that that was the case,
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: but no one's really believing him at this point.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and then it kind of wrapped with them back in the turret to decide
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: who they were going to murder that night.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: And Tamika wants to get rid of Victor because she knows that he knows
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: that it was them with the fruit.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: But that's kind of tough because it'll look really bad if that guy
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: the one that's murdered after they suspected him.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: So, yeah.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_01: And that didn't get resolved.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_01: That's in the air for next week.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: that was it.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: That was the whole episode.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: Now, do you think that they'll be able to continue to push this or do you think
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: that they'll have to let it go and he's going to have to die in
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_01: an accident some other way?
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's a great question.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: I think it'll either come down to them,
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: like maybe one or two people biting and one of them getting voted out
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: or Other people will find him really annoying because he's going to keep pushing it.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: And then they'll vote him out because they'll think
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: that he's being overly aggressive, which is traitor behavior.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: And it's really funny in this show what people will claim is traitor behavior.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: And you're kind of watching it being like, I don't know.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: I think you're making stuff up.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, so we'll see.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_01: That's fantastic.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_01: I guess, yeah,
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_01: fighting for screen time,
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_01: you want to be a little bit outrageous with your accusations and things like that.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: Because I think like, I mean,
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know for sure,
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: but I think they end up recording like hours and hours of screen time.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: And then what they actually cut and put into the show is just like a fraction of that.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: So you want to be like entertaining to actually get that.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: I actually,
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_01: now that we've been doing this,
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_01: I came up with my own reality show that I would like to pitch,
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_01: which would be pick a reality show that looks like a knockoff of that reality show,
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_01: except you film the downtime.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: So you film someone saying,
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_01: should I be sadder?
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_01: Should I be madder?
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_01: I would watch that every day.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I like that.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: Excellent.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_01: Well, thank you for that.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: But before I let you go, I got an email this morning that you...
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_01: This is kind of officially,
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: not kind of,
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_01: this show is especially,
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_01: this show is officially sponsored by Vault Technologies, which is your company.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_01: And by sponsored by, you're doing the work, so you should get a little bit of the credit.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_01: I appreciate that.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: But you also, you made a deal recently.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_01: That's kind of a big deal.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's cool.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: So just for the people who don't know,
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_01: just tell them quick about Vault Technologies and then tell them about the deal
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: because I think it's neat.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I appreciate that.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and by work,
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: you mean watching a show that I watch every week, but I appreciate it nonetheless.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: It was hard this week, right?
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: It was hard this week.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: A wedding in Mexico, it was a whole thing.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, so at Vault Funeral Tech, we're building a B2B marketplace for funeral homes.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: So a place where funeral directors can come access all their suppliers in one place,
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: and we help manage the payments,
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_00: the logistics, inventory, and all those kinds of things.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: And so we're still working to add more and more suppliers to the platform
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: and add more optionality so the funeral directors can offer their families.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely anything that they could want,
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: as well as give funeral directors the options to anything they could want for
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: the back of house, the prep room, etc.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: And we just signed a partnership with Titan Casket to be able to offer an even wider range.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: Of colors, size,
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_00: and couch options to families at express delivery, free delivery, and unpacking.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: So that gets you everything that you could possibly want as fast
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: as you could possibly need it, which we're really excited about.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: And I mentioned before we started talking,
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_01: I'm a fan of Titan and I have been since I started covering the industry
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_01: because I thought that they were just making a lot of noise and it just turned out
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_01: that they were doing marketing well instead of poorly and it confused me.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: I think this is an industry where people have done kind of the same thing for a
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: while and I think obviously they're selling direct which can be interesting
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_00: but I think You know,
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_00: they really are they do have a great product and their marketing is superb.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: And I think,
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: when you get those two things together, they can make a really big difference.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_01: Excellent.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_01: Well, good luck.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_01: Good luck with that.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_01: Good luck to the both of you.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm sure it'll work out.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: You're doing a great job and they're doing a great job.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_01: Why would you do a less great job together?
• 9:36
