- 0:01Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 0:06Speaker 2: It's the sanctuary with Bran and Chase.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Yeah, my new favorite thing. I'm your new favorite thing. Yeah,
- 0:27Speaker 3: you are. Except, hey, buddy, it's not a new. It's
- 0:30Speaker 3: not new. It ain't new, baby. It ain't new. How
- 0:33Speaker 3: you doing?
- 0:35Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm good. I genuinely have a lot of business
- 0:39Speaker 2: meetings this morning, and then I have this episode.
- 0:42Speaker 3: What else have you got? What other meetings? Let's lay
- 0:44Speaker 3: it out there for the people.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Nothing I can speak on publicly.
- 0:48Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. You're talking to Skydance, too? They're going
- 0:52Speaker 3: to buy you out?
- 0:53Speaker 2: Let's just say it rhymes with weave jobs.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. He's dead. It's a ghost thing. Yeah,
- 1:02Speaker 3: I'm getting the Ouija board out. I got to talk
- 1:03Speaker 3: to Stevie boy. You getting ghosty. Petey's not here because
- 1:08Speaker 3: we fired him. I heard. I heard.
- 1:12Speaker 4: I mean, it's no coincidence that I'm here today and
- 1:18Speaker 4: Petey's not.
- 1:19Speaker 2: I'll say that. The network's not pleased. Genuinely, Petey feels terrible.
- 1:29Speaker 2: about what happened with Wednesday's episode.
- 1:31Speaker 4: Listen, sometimes it gets away from you. It hasn't for
- 1:34Speaker 4: me because I'm a professional. Although I did once live stream.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Myself eating a bunch of cookies and I threw up.
- 1:42Speaker 4: I heard about that. You know, we all have our moments. Although,
- 1:45Speaker 4: you know, that was part of it. That was a
- 1:48Speaker 4: part of the whole deal. That was always the.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Risk when live streaming yourself eating a bunch of cookies.
- 1:53Speaker 3: A lot of people probably saw that as... A draw.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Sure.
- 1:56Speaker 3: That was what we were coming to see. Is he
- 1:58Speaker 3: going to throw up? Yeah.
- 2:00Speaker 4: But we do want to hop on here today because
- 2:03Speaker 4: I wasn't able to make it to the last recording, apparently.
- 2:08Speaker 3: Thank God.
- 2:08Speaker 4: But we did want to make sure that we talk
- 2:15Speaker 4: about trades because we're cutting it off after week two.
- 2:18Speaker 4: The trade deadline is here. And so we will address
- 2:22Speaker 4: that here in a moment.
- 2:23Speaker 3: But also... A few days now removed from the episodes,
- 2:29Speaker 3: any thoughts that you weren't able to convey during the
- 2:34Speaker 3: experience there?
- 2:37Speaker 2: What's so bad about that episode is I was relatively sober.
- 2:40Speaker 2: I really hadn't had anything to drink. But when you
- 2:43Speaker 2: listen to it, I sound just as wasted as everybody else.
- 2:47Speaker 2: And I think it's just from one of those vibes things,
- 2:49Speaker 2: you know?
- 2:50Speaker 4: Yeah, well, listen, that happens. We've heard you drunk before.
- 2:56Speaker 4: And you powered through. How many Twisted Teas do you
- 3:01Speaker 4: have up there?
- 3:03Speaker 3: I did have Twisted Teas. They have them up in
- 3:05Speaker 3: New York, huh? Yeah, yeah. New York, New York. New York,
- 3:08Speaker 3: New York.
- 3:10Speaker 2: I'm excited to hear your takes on the episode.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Big moment.
- 3:15Speaker 2: I mean, let's just kind of hit the highlights. First
- 3:18Speaker 2: big thing that happens is, of course, a thumb gets
- 3:20Speaker 2: chopped off.
- 3:21Speaker 3: I couldn't believe how much of that they showed. They showed.
- 3:26Speaker 3: It was so much blood. That seemed to be the
- 3:27Speaker 3: general consensus. So much blood.
- 3:29Speaker 4: It was the amount of blood to where if WWE
- 3:33Speaker 4: was playing the replay of it, they'd go black and white.
- 3:35Speaker 3: You know what I'm talking about? Yes. It was so
- 3:39Speaker 3: much blood. And then to show the chunk of blood.
- 3:43Speaker 3: the chunk of thumb as well was crazy.
- 3:45Speaker 4: So I don't know how well you could see that
- 3:48Speaker 4: from where you were sitting at the event.
- 3:50Speaker 3: Pretty well.
- 3:51Speaker 4: It's a very large chunk of that man's thumb or
- 3:55Speaker 4: Brody Brady. So that was wild.
- 3:58Speaker 3: And I.
- 4:01Speaker 4: Loved how intense he was about it. Like the fact
- 4:05Speaker 4: that right after.
- 4:06Speaker 3: It happened, he was like, I hope they don't pull
- 4:09Speaker 3: me from the game. I'm not leaving the game. You
- 4:12Speaker 3: want that in a player, right? Yeah, yeah.
- 4:15Speaker 4: I don't know if it's going to help him long-term,
- 4:16Speaker 4: but you want that in a player.
- 4:18Speaker 2: There's a few things that could happen here with Brody.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Jeff has come out.
- 4:23Speaker 2: So Jeff has been doing a thing on Instagram, on
- 4:24Speaker 2: the official Survivor CBS Instagram page, where we're getting Jeff's
- 4:29Speaker 2: field notes.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Yeah, it's what he used to do on the podcast,
- 4:34Speaker 3: but they don't do that anymore, so now they're just
- 4:36Speaker 3: putting in the visual, which I guess is fine. Which, honestly.
- 4:39Speaker 2: I think it's better because Jeff obviously doesn't like doing
- 4:42Speaker 2: the podcast.
- 4:43Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll read his field notes of the things that
- 4:46Speaker 4: he said about Anna because I always like doing that.
- 4:48Speaker 3: But you go ahead. Keep saying what you're saying.
- 4:51Speaker 2: He was very impressed by the gesture of Brady telling
- 4:58Speaker 2: the doctor, the producer, take Jeff my thumb and tell
- 5:02Speaker 2: him what.
- 5:03Speaker 3: I did here today. Jeff is such... I think he.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Went through a phase where he was just kind of
- 5:09Speaker 2: like he was trying to be like everyone's friend, Jeff.
- 5:13Speaker 3: But at his core, he is a dude, bro. Yeah,
- 5:16Speaker 3: he's one of the guys.
- 5:19Speaker 2: And he loves that toxic masculinity type character in the show.
- 5:25Speaker 3: And so I think.
- 5:26Speaker 2: That Jeff probably loves Brady after this incident.
- 5:31Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Brady's going to be great for the show.
- 5:34Speaker 4: I mean, I'm happy that he didn't get pulled.
- 5:36Speaker 3: He's very... Gives lots of energy.
- 5:39Speaker 4: And even after losing a chunk of his thumb, he
- 5:42Speaker 4: was still going hard during the challenge. So you can't
- 5:45Speaker 4: ask for much more out of a contestant.
- 5:47Speaker 3: I was.
- 5:49Speaker 4: Sad to see Anna go, even though it's another player
- 5:54Speaker 4: off of Petey's team, which is hilarious.
- 5:57Speaker 2: It is.
- 5:58Speaker 4: It is objectively hilarious that Petey's lost two players so far.
- 6:03Speaker 2: I think it's because of how cocky he was before
- 6:07Speaker 2: the season.
- 6:07Speaker 4: And what's amazing is that both weeks going into Tribal,
- 6:13Speaker 4: I have been prepared to lose one of my players.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Week one, I'm like, okay, Jenna's gone. It is what
- 6:21Speaker 3: it is. Week two, okay, Eric's gone. It is what
- 6:23Speaker 3: it is.
- 6:25Speaker 4: In both weeks, somehow Petey's players find a way to
- 6:29Speaker 4: send themselves home.
- 6:31Speaker 3: But I really liked Anna. I thought she gave us
- 6:33Speaker 3: a lot of really funny.
- 6:34Speaker 4: Bits this episode. The popcorn thing was so funny. I
- 6:40Speaker 4: laughed so hard at that. And I really loved, Chase,
- 6:45Speaker 4: the way that they set up and then paid off
- 6:49Speaker 4: the crab thing was amazing.
- 6:53Speaker 3: So showing early on What's his name? My guy. Carter's
- 6:59Speaker 3: Love of the Crab.
- 7:01Speaker 2: Yes.
- 7:02Speaker 3: And he's really into this thing, right? Great. And I'm like, okay,
- 7:05Speaker 3: that's fun. They caught a crab. Why does this matter?
- 7:08Speaker 4: And then for it to come back up later, where
- 7:11Speaker 4: Carter's sitting there being like, they're on to us.
- 7:15Speaker 3: Talking about the crab is so funny. And I thought
- 7:21Speaker 3: that the.
- 7:23Speaker 4: the setup payoff of the crab thing was peak survivor
- 7:29Speaker 4: for me.
- 7:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:31Speaker 2: I mean, it's been a phenomenal season to two episodes
- 7:34Speaker 2: and it's been a phenomenal season already. I would, I
- 7:37Speaker 2: would put this season up against season 48 and 49 already.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
- 7:44Speaker 4: I think that this is the most that I've liked
- 7:47Speaker 4: a cast out of the gate since 47, maybe. Yeah,
- 7:52Speaker 4: since Q's season. Which had so many great personalities.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Yeah, 100%. Another funny thing from this episode is.
- 8:04Speaker 3: And.
- 8:08Speaker 2: I know you haven't listened to the main episode. We
- 8:09Speaker 2: talked about it a lot there, but I don't know
- 8:11Speaker 2: if it was coherent, so I'm going to try to
- 8:14Speaker 2: bring it up in a simple way. PD was so...
- 8:19Speaker 2: I mean, he kept... He drafted Anna first.
- 8:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:23Speaker 2: And he kept calling Anna in private, not as a bit.
- 8:27Speaker 2: To me, he kept saying Anna's the main character of
- 8:30Speaker 2: the season.
- 8:30Speaker 3: Wow.
- 8:31Speaker 2: And I kept saying, Petey, why do you think that
- 8:35Speaker 2: Anna's the main character of the season? I couldn't fathom.
- 8:38Speaker 2: But I've been wrong so many times. I mean, both
- 8:43Speaker 2: of us could not believe that he drafted Aubrey first
- 8:47Speaker 2: last season for 50.
- 8:48Speaker 3: That's true.
- 8:49Speaker 2: And then she won the whole thing. So I genuinely thought, like,
- 8:52Speaker 2: he's done it again. He just sees something that we don't.
- 8:56Speaker 2: And so it was hilarious to watch her go home
- 8:58Speaker 2: week two. And I called before the episode. I said,
- 9:03Speaker 2: I think Anna's going home this week. Because from the
- 9:06Speaker 2: first episode, she didn't give much other than that she's
- 9:09Speaker 2: a voice actor.
- 9:11Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:12Speaker 4: I was surprised, though, because she's so fun. And one
- 9:19Speaker 4: thing that I love about Anna is she does this thing,
- 9:22Speaker 4: she did it a couple times in the episode, where
- 9:24Speaker 4: she responds in a way to where she sounds angrier
- 9:29Speaker 4: than she actually is. And it's just like a really
- 9:33Speaker 4: funny bit to me that she does. And I think
- 9:36Speaker 4: that she, this is what Jeff said.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Okay.
- 9:39Speaker 3: My first impressions from Anna. Yes, yes, yes.
- 9:43Speaker 4: Great energy, great interview. She is engaging. She likes to perform,
- 9:48Speaker 4: and she's sharp. She gets it. If she lasts long enough,
- 9:53Speaker 4: could be fun to watch her play. If she chooses
- 9:56Speaker 4: the right initial alliances, that's going to be the key
- 9:59Speaker 4: for her whole. run, she can be on right now.
- 10:06Speaker 4: I'm going to miss her. I think that she's gone
- 10:09Speaker 4: too soon. And two, I feel like, great episodes, great tribals,
- 10:17Speaker 4: and this tribal was insane. Rob voting for himself is insane.
- 10:26Speaker 2: When that happened, I immediately said, thank God I did
- 10:29Speaker 2: not trade two of my players for Rob. Like I
- 10:33Speaker 2: almost did last week.
- 10:34Speaker 3: Do you think he's going to be able to recover,
- 10:39Speaker 3: to recover? This is tough because.
- 10:43Speaker 4: It's not something like at some point air, like, Probably
- 10:48Speaker 4: next episode, Eric is going to have to be like, hey, dude,
- 10:53Speaker 4: what was that?
- 10:54Speaker 3: What happened? Because let's not forget.
- 10:57Speaker 2: And there's been a lot of confusion online about what
- 11:00Speaker 2: was Rob's plan even in the first place. And I
- 11:04Speaker 2: think it's pretty clear what the plan was. He just
- 11:07Speaker 2: forgot one of the only rules of Survivor, which.
- 11:11Speaker 4: Is that you cannot vote for yourself. He forgot, obviously,
- 11:17Speaker 4: you can't vote for yourself. He also was just unaware
- 11:22Speaker 4: that Anna's name was out there. He thought that evidently
- 11:27Speaker 4: everyone was voting for Eric.
- 11:30Speaker 2: What he was going to do is vote for himself,
- 11:34Speaker 2: give his idol to Eric, which means that all of
- 11:37Speaker 2: the votes for Eric don't count. The only vote that
- 11:40Speaker 2: counts is the one for himself. He gets sent out
- 11:43Speaker 2: of the game. As some sort of like.
- 11:48Speaker 3: like, martyr.
- 11:49Speaker 4: He wants to quit. He wants to quit, but he
- 11:53Speaker 4: doesn't want to seem like a little B.
- 11:55Speaker 3: Right.
- 11:56Speaker 4: But I don't think it would take long for people
- 12:01Speaker 4: to be like... If he could vote for himself, for
- 12:04Speaker 4: people to be like, did he vote himself out?
- 12:06Speaker 3: Because... He would make a scene of it.
- 12:10Speaker 4: He would have given Eric the idol, right?
- 12:15Speaker 3: Yeah. And so... It would take people to be like, well,
- 12:17Speaker 3: then if he gave him the idol, who did anybody
- 12:21Speaker 3: here vote for? And they don't be like, no, no.
- 12:24Speaker 2: And then it was like, but also I think that
- 12:27Speaker 2: Rob would have made a big scene of it as
- 12:29Speaker 2: he was leaving.
- 12:31Speaker 3: He would have been like, sometimes in survival, you got
- 12:33Speaker 3: to make sacrifices. I knew I wasn't going to win.
- 12:35Speaker 3: So I was trying to help Eric with a pink substance.
- 12:38Speaker 3: I need a pink substance.
- 12:40Speaker 2: But also it's pretty clear. I mean, I think he's
- 12:45Speaker 2: in trouble because he told Eric, just trust me. And
- 12:48Speaker 2: then he voted for Eric. Yeah, it is going.
- 12:53Speaker 4: I'm fascinated at how this next episode is going to
- 12:55Speaker 4: start because he tells Eric what to do.
- 12:59Speaker 3: He's like, just trust me. pulls him to the side.
- 13:01Speaker 3: Everyone saw him do this. Yes, yes.
- 13:04Speaker 4: Right before they're going to vote, he raises his hand
- 13:07Speaker 4: and he says, can I talk to Eric, which is
- 13:09Speaker 4: so funny.
- 13:10Speaker 3: He says, you're tribal, brother.
- 13:11Speaker 4: Everybody knows they are going to be like, hey, what
- 13:15Speaker 4: was that about? And I will say the only thing
- 13:20Speaker 4: that I think he has going for him is he didn't.
- 13:22Speaker 3: Tell Eric the plan.
- 13:24Speaker 4: So if he is able to come up with a
- 13:27Speaker 4: plan quick enough, for an excuse for why he pulled
- 13:31Speaker 4: Eric aside, why he told Eric to play his shot
- 13:34Speaker 4: in the dark, which he didn't do, then he can,
- 13:37Speaker 4: because at the end of the day, he does still
- 13:39Speaker 4: have his idol. So if he decides, okay, maybe this
- 13:43Speaker 4: is the survivor gods telling me that I do belong here,
- 13:48Speaker 4: that I need to stay in the game.
- 13:50Speaker 3: He can pivot, but it's tough.
- 13:52Speaker 2: We have some insight from being at The watch party
- 13:55Speaker 2: with Linnea, Ori, and Lewis.
- 13:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:59Speaker 2: I think we can make a bit of a prediction
- 14:01Speaker 2: based off of.
- 14:02Speaker 3: Oh. I don't know for certain.
- 14:05Speaker 2: What I will say is someone did ask the three
- 14:07Speaker 2: of them, did you know Rob voted for himself?
- 14:10Speaker 3: And they all said no. Oh, okay. So I wonder
- 14:14Speaker 3: if Rob.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Doesn't even explain himself afterwards because it seems like he
- 14:18Speaker 2: just wants to quit. Maybe the beginning of next episode
- 14:22Speaker 2: starts with him just quitting the game, maybe?
- 14:23Speaker 3: Maybe. Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
- 14:27Speaker 4: There's something about the way that he is where I
- 14:33Speaker 4: don't think he's going to be able to do it
- 14:36Speaker 4: because of the way.
- 14:38Speaker 3: Go ahead.
- 14:39Speaker 2: I think that we have three non-vote-out eliminations that could
- 14:43Speaker 2: happen this season based just of what happens in this episode.
- 14:47Speaker 2: I think Rob's going to quit or get everyone to
- 14:52Speaker 2: vote him out at best. Brady's thumb could get infected,
- 15:00Speaker 2: which we've seen injuries get infected later on and cause
- 15:03Speaker 2: them to be eliminated from the game later on. And
- 15:06Speaker 2: then also in this episode, we find out through social media,
- 15:10Speaker 2: through some deleted scenes, Kristen breaks her ankle.
- 15:15Speaker 3: Yeah. It's not good. No.
- 15:19Speaker 2: So that's three very entertaining players that could be sent
- 15:24Speaker 2: home for medical reasons or just because they want to
- 15:26Speaker 2: quit the game.
- 15:27Speaker 4: Of those three, the one that I would be the
- 15:29Speaker 4: saddest to see go is Kristen. I think we're just
- 15:33Speaker 4: getting started with how great of a character she is
- 15:38Speaker 4: and player that I would be really sad if we
- 15:40Speaker 4: didn't get to see her last however long she's going
- 15:44Speaker 4: to last in this game.
- 15:45Speaker 3: But PD is here. Hi, PD.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Hi. Hi.
- 15:48Speaker 1: I'm here. Um, this microphone is just a prop because
- 15:51Speaker 1: I'm using my AirPods. Is my connection better now?
- 15:57Speaker 3: It is. It is.
- 15:58Speaker 4: I mean, you, you can still kind of look silly,
- 16:00Speaker 4: but I feel like the delay is better.
- 16:04Speaker 3: And so I think, I think that's good. I think
- 16:07Speaker 3: that's good. PD. I want to hear straight from the
- 16:10Speaker 3: horse's mouth. And you're the horse. And you're the horse. Yes.
- 16:14Speaker 3: You are the horse.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Yeah. You are.
- 16:16Speaker 3: I have a full of glue. Oh, you have a
- 16:20Speaker 3: statement prepared.
- 16:21Speaker 4: I wasn't even going to ask you about your drunken escapades.
- 16:24Speaker 4: I was just going to try to talk to you
- 16:26Speaker 4: about survivor, but I will allow you to make any statement.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Oh, no, I think it's important that we address it. Um,
- 16:33Speaker 1: so I would like to, you know, with a heavy heart, um,
- 16:37Speaker 1: I want to apologize publicly for my behavior and, on
- 16:41Speaker 1: last week's episode. We had a great watch party in
- 16:44Speaker 1: Manhattan and I celebrated a little too hard. I showed
- 16:48Speaker 1: up to record drunk and in no state to host.
- 16:51Speaker 1: I ended up handing over hosting duties to Justin. It
- 16:54Speaker 1: was unprofessional, unfair to my co-hosts and whoever had to
- 16:59Speaker 1: step in last minute and disrespectful to you, the listeners.
- 17:03Speaker 1: There's no excuse. I love hosting this podcast and I'm
- 17:07Speaker 1: sorry to my team I pride myself and think of
- 17:10Speaker 1: myself as a man of faith as there's a deep
- 17:13Speaker 1: drive into left field by Castellanos.
- 17:16Speaker 3: It will be a home run.
- 17:17Speaker 1: So that'll make it a four Oh ball game.
- 17:22Speaker 2: Is that the apology that that one baseball announcer announcer
- 17:25Speaker 2: gave during the game?
- 17:28Speaker 3: Yeah. The end of it.
- 17:31Speaker 1: So like half of it was mine. Yeah. He used
- 17:36Speaker 1: a homophobic slur on the broadcast.
- 17:39Speaker 3: That's right. Which is very similar to what you did. No,
- 17:43Speaker 3: it's not. It's the opposite of what he did.
- 17:48Speaker 4: He allowed a gay fella to lead in his stead,
- 17:55Speaker 4: which is the least homophobic thing you can do.
- 17:59Speaker 3: Very true.
- 18:00Speaker 2: So even when I'm being problematic, I made a joke
- 18:03Speaker 2: out of it, but.
- 18:05Speaker 3: That's true.
- 18:06Speaker 2: PD made a joke out of that, but I do
- 18:08Speaker 2: think that he is sincerely sorry.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's a half and half. Okay, PD.
- 18:17Speaker 3: I'm afraid I don't think you're going to be able
- 18:19Speaker 3: to be in the episode. I don't think it's going
- 18:20Speaker 3: to be good, but let me just look really quickly, PD,
- 18:24Speaker 3: to see if I want to make any trades to
- 18:26Speaker 3: you really quickly. If anyone should be making trades.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Well, you know, you would think that. But I lost
- 18:35Speaker 1: the first two, so clearly the five that I have,
- 18:39Speaker 1: they're going all the way. That's the final five.
- 18:45Speaker 3: All right. The only player, PD. Sorry, go ahead, Chase.
- 18:49Speaker 3: You were about to do a reset there.
- 18:52Speaker 2: I was just going to say, as a refresher, here
- 18:54Speaker 2: are the teams.
- 18:56Speaker 3: PD has lost Anna and Aliyah.
- 18:59Speaker 1: Aliyah.
- 19:00Speaker 3: He still has Linnea.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Aliyah.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 19:04Speaker 2: He still has Linnea, Tanan, Devin, Sharonda, and Christian. Hey, Peter,
- 19:10Speaker 2: you really can't pitch in while other people are talking.
- 19:13Speaker 2: The delay is crazy.
- 19:16Speaker 1: I'm on data.
- 19:21Speaker 2: Bran has Jelly, Carter, Kristen, Jenna. kilby eric and rob
- 19:27Speaker 2: bran has not lost anyone yet and i have ori
- 19:31Speaker 2: lewis pat brady alexis mike and maggie i have not
- 19:36Speaker 2: lost anyone yet this is kind of unprecedented here on
- 19:39Speaker 2: the making the merge podcast.
- 19:42Speaker 4: The fact that you and i are doing well yeah
- 19:44Speaker 4: it is unprecedented yeah it's unprecedented the only player of
- 19:49Speaker 4: pds that i'm interested in and has been a riser for.
- 19:53Speaker 3: Me is Sharonda.
- 19:54Speaker 4: I was low on Sharonda going into the season. I
- 19:59Speaker 4: am significantly higher on her two episodes, and I can't imagine, PD,
- 20:04Speaker 4: that you would be willing to... Let Sharonda go. But
- 20:10Speaker 4: are you willing, are you open to any deals for
- 20:13Speaker 4: Sharonda or is she off the table?
- 20:17Speaker 1: I think I should hold on to the one player
- 20:20Speaker 1: that looks really promising for me.
- 20:24Speaker 3: Sharonda, I won't let you down. So should I just
- 20:27Speaker 3: get out of here? Yeah, unless you want to make
- 20:31Speaker 3: a trade, but it doesn't sound like you do. Do
- 20:32Speaker 3: you have any offers for Sharonda?
- 20:34Speaker 1: Um, Carter for Kilby. I know, I know you're trying
- 20:38Speaker 1: to offload Kilby. No, wait.
- 20:40Speaker 3: Oh, my bad.
- 20:41Speaker 1: I meant Christian. Christian for Kilby.
- 20:45Speaker 3: Oh, okay. Cause I have both Carter and Kilby. Oh
- 20:52Speaker 3: my gosh.
- 20:52Speaker 4: You said, you said Kilby for Christian.
- 20:57Speaker 3: Yeah. Just straight up one for one. That's it. Honestly,
- 21:01Speaker 3: that's an interesting trait.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Whoa.
- 21:06Speaker 4: I'm relatively convinced that Kilby's not winning this game.
- 21:10Speaker 2: But I do think Kilby has been shown a lot
- 21:12Speaker 2: more prevalently than Christian.
- 21:15Speaker 3: Right.
- 21:16Speaker 4: But Christian hasn't given me anything one way or another.
- 21:21Speaker 4: So it's kind of.
- 21:22Speaker 1: Yeah. So you're going to find him. You're going to
- 21:24Speaker 1: get him, get him, get him, get him one way
- 21:26Speaker 1: or another.
- 21:27Speaker 3: I got to be honest. I got to be honest.
- 21:29Speaker 4: This is so, so frustrating because literally the last thing
- 21:36Speaker 4: that I want to do, I don't think I would
- 21:40Speaker 4: continue the show if I traded the winner to.
- 21:45Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:46Speaker 1: There's no way Kilby's winning, though.
- 21:49Speaker 3: I think I would quit.
- 21:50Speaker 4: I don't think I would do this anymore.
- 21:53Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get something done for the sake
- 21:55Speaker 1: of the show because I don't think Christian or Kilby wins.
- 21:59Speaker 3: That's fair.
- 22:00Speaker 2: I think one thing that we didn't see this coming
- 22:03Speaker 2: when we were like, maybe we could do some trades.
- 22:05Speaker 2: I think we were all terrified of accidentally trading the
- 22:09Speaker 2: winner away.
- 22:10Speaker 3: Absolutely. Yeah.
- 22:15Speaker 4: But it is an interesting one because I do think,
- 22:17Speaker 4: to your point, PD, that neither of those players are winning.
- 22:21Speaker 3: So what's the harm, right? What's the harm in doing it? Oh, gosh.
- 22:31Speaker 3: I don't like it. I don't feel great. You don't
- 22:35Speaker 3: have to do it. You don't have to do it, man.
- 22:37Speaker 4: I don't feel good in my tummy about it. My
- 22:39Speaker 4: tummy is a little bit... It's hard to know if
- 22:42Speaker 4: that is... the trade or the pizza. Um, I am
- 22:47Speaker 4: going to go with a no on this.
- 22:49Speaker 3: No, no. Okay.
- 22:51Speaker 1: All right.
- 22:52Speaker 3: All right.
- 22:52Speaker 1: Then I will hop out of the stream. Unless Chase
- 22:55Speaker 1: has an offer for me.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Um, I don't, I think Sharonda is a great.
- 23:03Speaker 3: Choice. I don't think you're letting go of her.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Linnea not going anywhere. Cause her mom gave me a sticker.
- 23:10Speaker 2: Yeah, she gave me one too, which is why I
- 23:12Speaker 2: kind of wanted her, but I know you're not going
- 23:14Speaker 2: to let her go either. So, yeah, those are the
- 23:17Speaker 2: only two that really interest me because, I mean, I
- 23:20Speaker 2: don't want to let go of someone on my team
- 23:22Speaker 2: that's doing well for someone on PD's team, which is
- 23:24Speaker 2: cursed this season.
- 23:25Speaker 1: All right, we're all sandbagging.
- 23:29Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm sandbagging entirely, but I am
- 23:32Speaker 4: going to sandbag you. I don't know if I totally
- 23:34Speaker 4: understand the term, so I do apologize if I say
- 23:38Speaker 4: anything offensive.
- 23:40Speaker 1: It's a pro wrestling term for not working. Yeah.
- 23:44Speaker 3: Okay. Very good. Yes, I'm sandbagging you. Yeah. I'm going
- 23:49Speaker 3: to drop you on your head, PD. That's right. That's right.
- 23:51Speaker 3: All right. Bye, PD.
- 23:52Speaker 1: See you later this week.
- 23:55Speaker 3: See you.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Bye.
- 23:57Speaker 3: All right, Chase.
- 23:59Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk real business here, man.
- 24:04Speaker 4: I've made it known that I really want Pantless Pat.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Yeah, that's going to be hard for me because I
- 24:11Speaker 2: think she's my winner pick.
- 24:13Speaker 3: I know.
- 24:14Speaker 1: I know.
- 24:15Speaker 4: Is there anybody that you're interested in letting go aside
- 24:18Speaker 4: from Alexis?
- 24:19Speaker 3: Because I still have no idea who she is. Yeah,
- 24:21Speaker 3: Alexis is the easy one to lose here.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Someone that I think would make an interesting trade is
- 24:29Speaker 2: I think that we both have guys that don't seem
- 24:34Speaker 2: super– in the edit so far, but could be good
- 24:40Speaker 2: later on.
- 24:41Speaker 3: And that's Mike and Carter.
- 24:42Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
- 24:45Speaker 2: And so I would be willing to just trade Mike
- 24:48Speaker 2: for Carter.
- 24:49Speaker 3: Even trade. I feel better about Carter. Than Mike? Than
- 24:53Speaker 3: I do about Mike. So I don't think I'm willing
- 24:56Speaker 3: to do that. Tell me how you're feeling about Maggie
- 25:00Speaker 3: after this episode.
- 25:01Speaker 4: I still am interested in trading for Maggie. That's what
- 25:05Speaker 4: I was just thinking about.
- 25:06Speaker 3: Okay. That's what I was just thinking about. But you
- 25:11Speaker 3: don't want Kilby. No, I don't want Kilby.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Would you be interested in taking a flyer with Rob? Yeah,
- 25:20Speaker 2: I really considered taking Rob. I'm so glad I thought
- 25:24Speaker 2: on our trades from last week because I almost offered
- 25:27Speaker 2: you two.
- 25:27Speaker 3: Players for Rob, right? Yeah, I think you did.
- 25:31Speaker 2: Big mistake that would have been. Um, yeah, I'm not
- 25:36Speaker 2: interested in Rob whatsoever. I think he's going to quit
- 25:38Speaker 2: the game.
- 25:39Speaker 3: You think so? Yeah.
- 25:41Speaker 4: But I, I mean, you're not giving rid of jelly.
- 25:44Speaker 4: I'm not getting rid of jelly. I'm not getting, I
- 25:46Speaker 4: don't think I'm getting rid of Carter. Chris, Kristen's interesting
- 25:52Speaker 4: only because of the broken ankle. She could win or
- 25:55Speaker 4: she could get medevaced, you know? Um, would you do,
- 26:02Speaker 4: would you do Kristen for Pat? No, I don't think
- 26:07Speaker 4: I can trade Pat.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Pat, I genuinely think, is my winner pick.
- 26:11Speaker 3: I had to ask.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I understand. I genuinely think that Pat could
- 26:15Speaker 2: win the whole game. I mean, the showing that she
- 26:18Speaker 2: had in episode two, following what she did in episode one,
- 26:22Speaker 2: it's screaming winner at it to me, where it's like
- 26:25Speaker 2: episode one, she gets a big moment where she loses
- 26:27Speaker 2: her pants, and it's funny, and it's endearing. She does
- 26:31Speaker 2: play hard in episode one, and then in episode two...
- 26:33Speaker 2: I mean, she's working her ass off. She's in a
- 26:36Speaker 2: good spot. I think that she could win the whole game.
- 26:39Speaker 2: She could be my Rachel from 48 or 47, whatever
- 26:43Speaker 2: season that was.
- 26:46Speaker 3: Okay.
- 26:49Speaker 2: See, this is an interesting situation, Brand, because I think
- 26:52Speaker 2: we're used to not doing so well.
- 26:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 26:55Speaker 2: But we both have really good players this season.
- 26:59Speaker 3: One of us is going to be the winner, I think.
- 27:01Speaker 3: I think so.
- 27:02Speaker 4: Be really sad if it's not we still lost um
- 27:10Speaker 4: okay uh i mean you wouldn't do kill me for
- 27:12Speaker 4: maggie right.
- 27:15Speaker 2: I mean part of me is like should we should
- 27:17Speaker 2: i do it just so that we because we introduce
- 27:19Speaker 2: trades we have to do at least one trade but
- 27:23Speaker 2: maggie had a great showing this episode it's crazy.
- 27:29Speaker 3: What about just to see if we want to do something?
- 27:32Speaker 3: What about Eric for Alexis? You know what, man?
- 27:38Speaker 2: I would be willing to do that just because I
- 27:39Speaker 2: don't think either of them are winning, and that's funny.
- 27:42Speaker 3: You like that? Are we doing this? Let's just do it.
- 27:44Speaker 3: Let's just do it. For the first trade?
- 27:47Speaker 2: Yeah, the first official trade of making the merge at
- 27:50Speaker 2: the deadline.
- 27:52Speaker 3: How about that? All right, it's official.
- 27:54Speaker 2: So....
- 27:57Speaker 3: Just to clarify, you now have Alexis.
- 28:02Speaker 1: Yes.
- 28:03Speaker 3: And I now have Eric. Huh. You feel good? I
- 28:10Speaker 3: feel good about it.
- 28:12Speaker 4: There's a part of me, like, there's such.
- 28:14Speaker 3: The devil you know is better than the devil you don't. 100%.
- 28:22Speaker 4: There's a part of me that is concerned, because at
- 28:26Speaker 4: least I know what I'm getting with Eric at this point.
- 28:29Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't know anything about Alexis. I know so
- 28:32Speaker 3: little about Alexis. Although I do feel like she was
- 28:35Speaker 3: in the weeds of what happened this past week.
- 28:41Speaker 2: This is one of those that, you know, it could
- 28:43Speaker 2: end up crazy good for either one of us, because.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Neither of them has had a very great showing so far,
- 28:51Speaker 2: but who knows anything can happen on survivor.
- 28:53Speaker 4: I will say the one thing that I, I feel
- 28:56Speaker 4: okay about is the fact that Eric Alexis hasn't really
- 29:01Speaker 4: had a showing.
- 29:02Speaker 3: Eric has had a showing and it's not good.
- 29:05Speaker 2: So the only hope here is maybe it's an Andy
- 29:10Speaker 2: type beat for me.
- 29:11Speaker 3: Absolutely. Where he's such a goofball, but then he gets
- 29:14Speaker 3: it together. Survivor loves a redemption arc. Yeah.
- 29:18Speaker 4: And the fact that Eric's name has been thrown out
- 29:22Speaker 4: so much over the first two episodes.
- 29:25Speaker 3: And the fact that Eric didn't go home this past week.
- 29:30Speaker 3: Eric didn't go.
- 29:30Speaker 4: Home this past week in parts due to, uh, you know,
- 29:36Speaker 4: Anna just kind of screwing things up, but also like,
- 29:41Speaker 4: is Eric the guy that you bring along?
- 29:44Speaker 3: Cause he is annoying and we can vote about it
- 29:46Speaker 3: at any time. Yeah.
- 29:47Speaker 2: And another little bit of insight here from the watch party.
- 29:50Speaker 2: We do find out from Ori and Linnea that the plan.
- 29:54Speaker 3: Was never Eric.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:56Speaker 2: In fact, Ori was working with Linnea and the girls,
- 30:01Speaker 2: and their plan was to, like, you know, when Ori
- 30:04Speaker 2: makes that statement where he's like, you know, it's got
- 30:06Speaker 2: to be Eric. I've had my eye on Eric for
- 30:09Speaker 2: a while. That was all a strategy to make it
- 30:12Speaker 2: seem like he's not working with Linnea and the others.
- 30:15Speaker 3: Oh, interesting. So we have, like, a Kyle Camilla thing.
- 30:18Speaker 2: Yeah, we do.
- 30:20Speaker 3: Hidden secret alliances. Yep.
- 30:23Speaker 2: And that wasn't shown in the edit. That is just
- 30:25Speaker 2: some behind-the-scenes knowledge we got in New York.
- 30:28Speaker 3: New York.
- 30:28Speaker 2: Well, technically it.
- 30:29Speaker 3: Was Jersey City. Jersey.
- 30:32Speaker 2: Jersey.
- 30:33Speaker 3: Jersey. Brayden, I feel great about this trade. I feel
- 30:36Speaker 3: good about this. This is good. Trade is official. Commissioner
- 30:40Speaker 3: signed off on it.
- 30:42Speaker 2: Yes.
- 30:43Speaker 3: I now have Alexis. You now have Eric on your team.
- 30:47Speaker 4: We'll see if we deeply regret this trade.
- 30:51Speaker 3: If anything.
- 30:52Speaker 2: If one of those players ends up winning and we
- 30:54Speaker 2: feel terrible for trading them, it makes for a great
- 30:57Speaker 2: story for the podcast this season.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Absolutely. Absolutely. Okay.
- 31:01Speaker 4: The only other thing that I want to touch on
- 31:03Speaker 4: really quickly, and I'm sure this might be a tired
- 31:08Speaker 4: hot take, even for me, because I have said it
- 31:11Speaker 4: so many times already. I cannot get over how much
- 31:17Speaker 4: better the two tribes are than the three tribes.
- 31:20Speaker 1: It is.
- 31:21Speaker 4: honestly insane how much better the show is with two
- 31:25Speaker 4: tribes and not just from a, uh, the fact that like,
- 31:30Speaker 4: we do like this cast, but I feel like two
- 31:33Speaker 4: episodes in, I have such a better handle on the,
- 31:38Speaker 4: this cast as a whole, like Alexis is one of
- 31:42Speaker 4: those people where I feel like I'm still a little
- 31:45Speaker 4: bit unsure.
- 31:46Speaker 3: And right. To, to non is probably the other very much. Yeah.
- 31:51Speaker 4: But outside of that, like even Linnea has kind of
- 31:54Speaker 4: slid under the radar, but I just feel like I
- 31:57Speaker 4: know her a little bit more because of the fact
- 31:59Speaker 4: that you guys went to the, the, the thing and whatnot.
- 32:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 32:02Speaker 4: Um, I feel like for the most part, I have
- 32:05Speaker 4: been able to, figure out who these individuals are.
- 32:09Speaker 3: And they're all such big characters. Yeah.
- 32:12Speaker 2: I saw a thing saying that Jeff wants the Emmy
- 32:16Speaker 2: so bad and the traders keep taking it that they've
- 32:21Speaker 2: gone back to a little bit more of a, they're
- 32:23Speaker 2: not worried so much about making everybody seem likable and
- 32:27Speaker 2: not too much of a villain. I think they're digging
- 32:30Speaker 2: deep into those character edits.
- 32:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 32:34Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
- 32:35Speaker 4: I'm excited about that. I'm very excited about this episode.
- 32:38Speaker 4: We'll see what happens. I haven't watched any of the
- 32:40Speaker 4: promos yet, so I don't know if there's any buzz.
- 32:44Speaker 4: I'm really intrigued by what Rob's going to do.
- 32:48Speaker 3: Yeah, me too.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Part of me is just like, I think he's quitting.
- 32:52Speaker 2: I don't think Eric's going to go home next week
- 32:54Speaker 2: because I think Rob might just volunteer to go.
- 32:57Speaker 3: I just think, though, that type of Of bro, right?
- 33:07Speaker 4: Has, like, tricked their mind into thinking there is, like,
- 33:13Speaker 4: a manly.
- 33:14Speaker 3: Way to quit the game.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Right.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Right?
- 33:16Speaker 3: Yes. But I would never actually say I quit. Right.
- 33:21Speaker 3: Does saying, hey, vote me out, does that... Does that work?
- 33:27Speaker 4: And can you do the mental gymnastics to where you
- 33:32Speaker 4: telling people to vote you out isn't the same as quitting?
- 33:34Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 33:36Speaker 4: The fact that he was willing to vote himself out
- 33:39Speaker 4: as a way of not quitting would lead me to believe.
- 33:44Speaker 3: That he likely could get to that spot. Yeah. But
- 33:48Speaker 3: I just think... I think the fact that he wasn't
- 33:52Speaker 3: able to do it, sometimes that's the thing, right?
- 33:54Speaker 4: The thing that goes, maybe I should stick it out.
- 33:58Speaker 4: Maybe I am supposed to still be here. Because why
- 34:01Speaker 4: the heck not?
- 34:02Speaker 3: Just keep going. And he has an idol. He has
- 34:06Speaker 3: an idol. He's in a great spot. We could very
- 34:08Speaker 3: well win this thing. We could very well win this thing.
- 34:11Speaker 4: If he can turn this around, if my guy Rob
- 34:15Speaker 4: can get back to camp and and just be like, hey,
- 34:19Speaker 4: here's what happened. I really wanted to save Eric, and
- 34:25Speaker 4: so I pulled him aside, and I told him to
- 34:27Speaker 4: play a shot in the dark, and I was willing
- 34:30Speaker 4: to play my idol for him if the shot in
- 34:33Speaker 4: the dark was not safe, but then he didn't do it,
- 34:38Speaker 4: and so I didn't feel like I was going to
- 34:41Speaker 4: then save him.
- 34:41Speaker 3: I'm not going to go out. Right, yeah.
- 34:43Speaker 4: So it's like one of those things where I think
- 34:45Speaker 4: there is a way where... where you can spin it
- 34:49Speaker 4: and be like, hey, dude, I had you regardless. You
- 34:51Speaker 4: didn't play your shot in the dark, so why would
- 34:54Speaker 4: I save you? If you're not willing to go with
- 34:57Speaker 4: me on this, I wanted you here, but you showed
- 35:00Speaker 4: me that you're not willing to work with me in
- 35:02Speaker 4: that way.
- 35:03Speaker 3: You can spin it like that, right? So we'll see.
- 35:06Speaker 3: We'll see what he does. Is he smart enough to
- 35:07Speaker 3: do that? I don't know. And does he know the
- 35:09Speaker 3: game well enough? He does not. Clearly, he doesn't know
- 35:13Speaker 3: it that well. So we'll see. We'll see. I think
- 35:18Speaker 3: we'll find out pretty quickly in episode three.
- 35:20Speaker 2: Yeah, this has been an incredible season. I can't wait
- 35:22Speaker 2: for next week. Brandon, thank you for being the utmost professional.
- 35:26Speaker 3: Thanks for not being wasted while we look forward. I'll
- 35:27Speaker 3: be honest. I'm 10. drinks in you just can't tell oh.
- 35:35Speaker 4: Yeah guys i showed up one time steak drunk okay.
- 35:39Speaker 2: Brandon had a lot of meat at dinner and he
- 35:42Speaker 2: sounded like orson welles on the bucket it happened there's
- 35:46Speaker 2: a lot of meat That's a lot of meat.
- 35:48Speaker 3: That's a lot of meat.
- 35:49Speaker 2: Hey, thank you everyone for bearing with us this week.
- 35:52Speaker 2: We got a few messages saying that they did not
- 35:56Speaker 2: love the main episode Wednesday. That is not an every
- 36:00Speaker 2: week thing. That was because Bran was at a wedding.
- 36:06Speaker 2: Petey and I was invited to go to New York and...
- 36:10Speaker 2: It got a little carried away. That being said, it
- 36:14Speaker 2: is not the fault of our wonderful co-hosts on that
- 36:18Speaker 2: episode Wednesday, Justin and Jax. That was on PD and
- 36:22Speaker 2: myself for just not preparing better. Jax and Justin will
- 36:29Speaker 2: continue to be a mainstay on the sanctuary from here
- 36:31Speaker 2: on out. And that is in large part due to
- 36:34Speaker 2: Bran is typically not available for the sanctuaries due to
- 36:37Speaker 2: his schedule. And last season, we did not do the
- 36:41Speaker 2: sanctuary because we didn't want it to be just myself
- 36:44Speaker 2: and PD. So the idea is for the sanctuary to happen.
- 36:48Speaker 2: We've got some new friends to bring on some new perspectives.
- 36:52Speaker 2: And I'm very excited for how that's going to go.
- 36:54Speaker 2: We're going to play a lot of fun games on
- 36:55Speaker 2: the sanctuary this season. It's going to be a different
- 36:58Speaker 2: type of show than in the past. So thank you
- 37:00Speaker 2: guys for bearing with us. And we will be back
- 37:02Speaker 2: with a regular Wednesday or Thursday episode next week.
- 37:06Speaker 3: Bran, PD, and myself. Thank you guys so much for listening. Bran,
- 37:12Speaker 3: you got anything? I love you. I love you, man.
- 37:17Speaker 3: All right. Goodbye, everybody. You're about to hear some ads
- 37:23Speaker 3: that help keep the lights on here in the old studio.
- 37:27Speaker 3: Thanks for listening or don't listen. It's really up to
- 37:30Speaker 3: you at this point. It's at the end of the show.
- 37:33Speaker 3: I mean, you're listening to me.
- 37:34Speaker 1: Hi.
- 37:35Speaker 3: But here they come. I promise they're coming. Yep, here
- 37:38Speaker 3: they are. Happy day.
