- 0:22Speaker 3: have been like PD, I'll give you a million dollars
- 0:24Speaker 3: if you can recite the ridiculousness theme, and I would
- 0:27Speaker 3: not have been able to do it.
- 0:29Speaker 4: It's just it's so nice, it's so easy.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Yeah. Quick, who's the host of Ridiculousness PD? Rob Dear

- 0:47Speaker 4: through a skateboarding phase where you loved Rob Deer.
- 0:50Speaker 1: I went through a skateboarding phase. I skateboarded Chase. What
- 0:53Speaker 1: are you talking about? I was watching Fantasy Factory Robin
- 0:57Speaker 1: Big Nrircus.
- 1:01Speaker 3: Ridiculousness is just America's funniest home videos for douchebags, I
- 1:05Speaker 3: think kind of. Yeah, it really resonated with Chase for
- 1:09Speaker 3: that reason.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody, right. I thought we were done to
- 1:22Speaker 1: Chase pet.
- 1:23Speaker 4: But it's off season. You don't have to be a
- 1:26Speaker 4: dig to me.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Yeah, stop it, my bad.
- 1:29Speaker 3: You brought up ridiculousness, so I had to say something
- 1:32Speaker 3: about it.
- 1:32Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
- 1:35Speaker 3: Okay, we didn't have a theme song today. I guess
- 1:39Speaker 3: I'll just use the regular one or maybe John Ridiculous
- 1:43Speaker 3: Yeah that one, or Jonathan could a cappella the making
- 1:46Speaker 3: the merch.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Oh do it? Bomb bomb bomb bomb. We could really
- 1:53Speaker 1: win this, thame. I'm a dog person. Boy, if you
- 1:58Speaker 1: told me your dog was sake, I'm saying I'm coming
- 2:00Speaker 1: over over over.
- 2:05Speaker 4: So interesting how because I mean, you're a music person,
- 2:08Speaker 4: so I trust you. You went with the notes instead
- 2:11Speaker 4: of kind of like the low five part, which what
- 2:13Speaker 4: I would have done the loaf.
- 2:14Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. I just I
- 2:16Speaker 1: was put on the spot and started suddenly doing the
- 2:18Speaker 1: sound drops too.
- 2:20Speaker 3: So well, he did a great job, Jonathan. But here
- 2:24Speaker 3: for the MERGI Awards. Actually, I've got a couple of
- 2:28Speaker 3: things I want to get to before we get into
- 2:30Speaker 3: these nominations. Been up to hash, Okay, it's actually about us.
- 2:39Speaker 3: I made the statement that it's been quite some time
- 2:42Speaker 3: since there hasn't been a zero vote finalist. Turns out, uh,
- 2:46Speaker 3: it happened three months ago, months ago, because what I
- 2:51Speaker 3: forgot was that Joe was not a zero vote finalist.
- 2:54Speaker 3: In my mind, he was a zero vote finalist.
- 2:57Speaker 1: I forgot.
- 2:57Speaker 4: Do you do you remember why Joe was not a
- 3:00Speaker 4: zero vote final I do. It's because I can't remember
- 3:05Speaker 4: when the specific player, but some one of the guys
- 3:08Speaker 4: voted for Joe. So that way, even though he knew
- 3:11Speaker 4: it wasn't gonna do anything, it would keep money wise,
- 3:14Speaker 4: it would give him the the vote or whatever.
- 3:18Speaker 3: The player who did that is me and Brand's best friend.
- 3:23Speaker 4: Yes, that's right, So so it was. It was so essentially,
- 3:29Speaker 4: if he had zero votes, he would have gone in
- 3:33Speaker 4: third place or whatever, but because of the vote, he
- 3:36Speaker 4: got the money of being in second place or something
- 3:39Speaker 4: like that. I don't remember.
- 3:40Speaker 1: We don't know how it works. We also didn't remember it,
- 3:43Speaker 1: so mm hm nope.
- 3:45Speaker 3: And I said that and no one corrected me. So
- 3:48Speaker 3: I'm gonna blame you guys.
- 3:49Speaker 4: We're the dumb show guys. I don't know why people
- 3:52Speaker 4: thought they needed to correct us, as if we were
- 3:54Speaker 4: gonna like remember in ten months, like.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Yeah, But they also corrected us as if we were
- 4:00Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh no, what do we do?
- 4:02Speaker 4: Now I know all of our integrity as journalists will
- 4:08Speaker 4: read you.
- 4:08Speaker 1: The whole season. We got to delete it.
- 4:10Speaker 3: Man, Mike Bloom's never gonna talk to us again.
- 4:14Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we need to just like have Mike Bloom
- 4:18Speaker 4: on every episode. Hey, this is everything that you guys
- 4:21Speaker 4: fucked up.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Brutal that would be yeah, yeah, we trust him, We
- 4:28Speaker 1: trust him.
- 4:29Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a great guy.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Speaking of brutal, there is a brutal for me. I
- 4:35Speaker 3: guess there's a voice message we got that I have
- 4:38Speaker 3: loaded into rivers.
- 4:41Speaker 1: I don't think I know about this, you don't.
- 4:45Speaker 3: I'm just gonna let it rip. Let me make sure
- 4:48Speaker 3: it's not in preview mode.
- 4:51Speaker 5: Hi, it's Lily from Canada. I think that you guys
- 4:56Speaker 5: look like some fictional characters, so we'll see if you
- 4:59Speaker 5: guys agree your not. I think p D looks like
- 5:02Speaker 5: Thomas the Tank. Jonathan looks like Blue.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Like the bear Chase.
- 5:12Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys have seen like the
- 5:13Speaker 5: second Rio movie, like with the Birds, but he looks
- 5:16Speaker 5: like Roberto from that movie.
- 5:18Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 5:19Speaker 5: I think it's the hair, even though the bird doesn't
- 5:21Speaker 5: have hair, but he kind of kind of does.
- 5:25Speaker 1: And then who left Brand.
- 5:27Speaker 3: Brand looks like Hagrid.
- 5:29Speaker 4: We'll see.
- 5:29Speaker 6: What do you think about that?
- 5:31Speaker 4: I think she nailed it, dude. P D absolutely looks
- 5:38Speaker 4: like Thomas.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Tom Thomas, the Tom. I've gotta I'm gonna look at
- 5:46Speaker 1: him again. I gotta take a game.
- 5:50Speaker 3: I gotta google.
- 5:55Speaker 4: Jonathan being Blue from Juggle Book is spot on and
- 5:59Speaker 4: then arid for for.
- 6:02Speaker 1: What's funny about I don't hate it.
- 6:05Speaker 4: Oh, I don't hate mine either. I think she nailed.
- 6:09Speaker 3: Engine.
- 6:09Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty bad. You got that one. That one accurate?
- 6:14Speaker 3: All right, I'll lean into it if you'll want to
- 6:15Speaker 3: call me p D the tank Engine.
- 6:21Speaker 4: I mean, she fucking got you many. The thing about
- 6:25Speaker 4: Brand being Hagrid is Brand's not that big of a guy.
- 6:31Speaker 4: Brand is not very tall. He's not very big. Jonathan
- 6:34Speaker 4: is more like the taller and bigger.
- 6:37Speaker 1: But yeah, I didn't even think of this. Yeah, but
- 6:40Speaker 1: Brand's got this like kind of race. Yeah, you know,
- 6:44Speaker 1: apparently I've got a look of bare necessities or something.
- 6:48Speaker 3: But she says a real person for Brand.
- 6:51Speaker 6: I'm I'm having a hard time seeing it, but I
- 7:01Speaker 6: supported it's the vibes.
- 7:04Speaker 1: I Thomas. Yeah, yeah, Oh, I mean she should have
- 7:10Speaker 1: she could have said you look like Percy. That would
- 7:12Speaker 1: have been really rough.
- 7:13Speaker 4: You know, nobody wants to like person.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Can you imagine looking like Percy the tank engine?
- 7:20Speaker 3: I mean it's because of my biceps, right, that's where
- 7:22Speaker 3: the tank engine is coming from.
- 7:24Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it's because you got a caboose on you,
- 7:27Speaker 1: you know, something like that. Sorry, Case's life did say
- 7:33Speaker 1: I was kicked up, and.
- 7:36Speaker 4: I don't even remember that, but I believe it.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Well, I'm considering we do this virtually for me. I
- 7:41Speaker 1: never see it, so I wouldn't.
- 7:43Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'll have to check it out next.
- 7:46Speaker 4: Guys. I've been sick. I missed Christmas because I've been
- 7:50Speaker 4: down with I'm so excited to talk with you. This
- 7:53Speaker 4: is my first day of even feeling better.
- 7:55Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, that's you got that Christmas flu?
- 7:59Speaker 4: Yeah? I did. Dude, me in bed like the Bucket
- 8:02Speaker 4: family dog man.
- 8:04Speaker 1: That's crazy. And all we had to do was dangle
- 8:06Speaker 1: a golden ticket out and you just hopped out of
- 8:09Speaker 1: bed started dancing around.
- 8:10Speaker 4: I was tap dancing my adds off.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Yeah, all the way to the factory and we took
- 8:17Speaker 1: the train there.
- 8:18Speaker 4: P D.
- 8:18Speaker 1: What do you if you lead us today?
- 8:23Speaker 3: I guess I'll lead us to the awards now, yes,
- 8:27Speaker 3: all right, it is Mergy Awards season. This is how
- 8:31Speaker 3: this works. To two all aboard, We're all gonna make
- 8:34Speaker 3: our nominations for each category and then on Instagram. So
- 8:39Speaker 3: follow making the merge on Instagram if you want to participate,
- 8:41Speaker 3: We're gonna put all the stuff up there and then
- 8:43Speaker 3: you vote on the post. Yes, yes, So what category
- 8:49Speaker 3: should we started off with? And by the way, Brand's
- 8:52Speaker 3: not here, so we're gonna play his answers first every time.
- 8:55Speaker 4: Nice, let's start with the Gone Too Soon?
- 8:59Speaker 3: All right, let's.
- 9:01Speaker 4: Do it.
- 9:04Speaker 7: For my Gone Too Soon Award nominee. I'm gonna go
- 9:11Speaker 7: with the one the only you know who I'm picking.
- 9:17Speaker 4: It's m c oh.
- 9:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna do a pause.
- 9:22Speaker 4: You guys.
- 9:22Speaker 3: Oh, it's actually against the rules. We're gonna have to
- 9:26Speaker 3: uh because it's a pre Merge award. That's why it's
- 9:29Speaker 3: Gone too Soon. If you made the jury, you were
- 9:32Speaker 3: around you know, I'll tell you what I'm not saying.
- 9:35Speaker 3: Brand's gone too soon on this podcast. First, already already
- 9:42Speaker 3: got it wrong. But let's actually let's let him finish
- 9:45Speaker 3: his thoughts on his nomination. There's like forty more seconds.
- 9:49Speaker 7: She was a favorite of mine, she was on my team,
- 9:52Speaker 7: and I was just you know, waiting for her to
- 9:57Speaker 7: really get to shine when it comes to the individual
- 10:00Speaker 7: A challenges, and she got voted out before she could
- 10:04Speaker 7: really show her stuff.
- 10:07Speaker 2: And so I think you got to do one individual challenge.
- 10:13Speaker 2: So I would have loved to see MC do more.
- 10:16Speaker 7: And then you know, as the game kind of would
- 10:19Speaker 7: would would go on. I think she, you know, was
- 10:23Speaker 7: a free agent so to speak, and so I think
- 10:25Speaker 7: she could have gone far if given the chance.
- 10:28Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with MC on this one.
- 10:30Speaker 3: Boys great contribution brand.
- 10:34Speaker 4: But I'm saying, yeah, man, he does last year too.
- 10:39Speaker 4: It's like he cannot grasp the mergings. It's not that complicated.
- 10:45Speaker 1: He's a little bit like Agrid in that way.
- 10:49Speaker 4: Definitely all right, PD, what's your nomination.
- 10:56Speaker 3: I'm gonna nominate and I mean this wholeheartedly, Shannon fair Weather.
- 11:01Speaker 1: That's my pick.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Gone.
- 11:05Speaker 1: She was Wow, it goes by you.
- 11:08Speaker 4: Remember do you remember her giving a question at final tribal?
- 11:11Speaker 1: But that's right, I forgot about that.
- 11:14Speaker 3: She was closer to the merge. I really feel like
- 11:17Speaker 3: we missed out by her not being emerged. She gave
- 11:20Speaker 3: us a lot to work with on this show, all
- 11:22Speaker 3: the insane stuff. She would say, mm hmm.
- 11:25Speaker 4: I agree. I think that's a great nomination. I figured
- 11:28Speaker 4: that was going to be one that was taken pretty quickly.
- 11:31Speaker 4: So I'll go ahead and go with with mine, which
- 11:34Speaker 4: is Jeremiah.
- 11:36Speaker 1: I was pretty close to saying Jeremiah.
- 11:38Speaker 4: I had two in the pocket and I had to
- 11:41Speaker 4: pick between the two, and I went with Jeremiah. Yeah.
- 11:48Speaker 4: What's so infuriating for me about Jeremiah being gone too soon?
- 11:52Speaker 4: Is I He was my number one draft pick of
- 11:55Speaker 4: this season. I really really thought he was gonna go far.
- 12:00Speaker 4: He was gone almost immediately.
- 12:02Speaker 3: I totally forgot he was your number one.
- 12:04Speaker 4: Yeah, he was the he is who I thought was
- 12:07Speaker 4: going to win the season. I put I picked him
- 12:13Speaker 4: before I picked uh uh Gretty, So if he's a Gretty,
- 12:19Speaker 4: I picked him before I picked all of my players.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Unreal, I uh, I've got to go with the guy
- 12:27Speaker 1: who didn't get voted out but instead got put on
- 12:30Speaker 1: a stretcher and taken off on a boat. We didn't
- 12:34Speaker 1: really get to see more of the Shoe bandit happening,
- 12:37Speaker 1: and I think Jake would have been really fun post merge,
- 12:41Speaker 1: I do. He's the one person I picked that you
- 12:45Speaker 1: know of with my plan thought. So I just I
- 12:51Speaker 1: really wish that we had seen more of him.
- 12:53Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good Yes. I don't think he would
- 12:56Speaker 4: have won.
- 12:56Speaker 1: I don't he would have gotten farther, but it would
- 12:58Speaker 1: have been pretty entertaining.
- 13:00Speaker 4: Yeah. I almost picked Nicole the first boot of the season.
- 13:04Speaker 3: And we need to add her. I was about to
- 13:06Speaker 3: say that because Brand's pick got thrown out, we needed
- 13:09Speaker 3: another one.
- 13:10Speaker 1: I also said Matt, by the way, because we didn't
- 13:14Speaker 1: get to know him.
- 13:16Speaker 4: Cole was funnier in her one episode than most of
- 13:21Speaker 4: these players were all seasons.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Cole.
- 13:24Speaker 3: So I agree in somebody's eye.
- 13:26Speaker 4: And.
- 13:32Speaker 1: I agree Nicole would be better than that.
- 13:34Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, So our nominees are Nicole, Jake, Shannon,
- 13:41Speaker 3: and what was the other.
- 13:43Speaker 4: One, Jeremiah real quick, let me be in charge of
- 13:51Speaker 4: right in these days?
- 13:51Speaker 1: All right, Well, this is what we get for putting
- 13:57Speaker 1: a tank enge and over it.
- 14:01Speaker 3: Chase was he was He said something about how he
- 14:04Speaker 3: prepared his nominations, and you had said something in Brandson
- 14:07Speaker 3: all of his and I said, I'm just gonna wing
- 14:09Speaker 3: it today. So I didn't plan you.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Are you actually winging it?
- 14:13Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 14:13Speaker 1: I am winging, but you've got the knowledge to wing it.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I have to like remind myself of who was even there.
- 14:19Speaker 4: PD's smarter than us. I told him to use Goldderby
- 14:21Speaker 4: dot com to see if he could.
- 14:25Speaker 1: He's our gold Derby.
- 14:27Speaker 3: This is off season, PD, So yeah, winging it?
- 14:31Speaker 4: What were we doing? Do you want me to host
- 14:34Speaker 4: Liz PD?
- 14:36Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna repeat the nominations?
- 14:39Speaker 2: Oh?
- 14:39Speaker 4: Okay, thegard too Pseuit Award nominees Nicole, Jeremiah, Jake, and Shannon.
- 14:47Speaker 4: That leads us to our next award, PD.
- 14:50Speaker 3: And our next award is gonna be the Villain Award.
- 14:54Speaker 1: Oh do you think.
- 14:56Speaker 3: Was the biggest villain of the season. I don't think
- 14:58Speaker 3: we had too many this season. Let's hear from brand.
- 15:03Speaker 2: You want to ask Brand about a villain. You want
- 15:06Speaker 2: to ask me about a villain.
- 15:09Speaker 7: Talk to me about my winner, the person that I
- 15:14Speaker 7: went to bat for time and time again.
- 15:17Speaker 2: The person that got more hate.
- 15:19Speaker 7: This season than anyone else, simply because she was dominant.
- 15:25Speaker 2: You know what I'm going with. It's my girl, Savannah.
- 15:27Speaker 2: What up?
- 15:28Speaker 1: Well?
- 15:29Speaker 4: He is once again messed up Savannah in my opinion,
- 15:34Speaker 4: and we can argue this, we can debate this. Savannah
- 15:36Speaker 4: is not a villain. She was just a hard player.
- 15:40Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, she just played the game hard.
- 15:44Speaker 3: No, I don't disagree. I think it's hilarious that, like,
- 15:48Speaker 3: we all were huge Savannah supporters, and whenever we would
- 15:52Speaker 3: have light criticism of Savannah, Brand would lose his mind.
- 15:57Speaker 3: So to him, it's like everybody hates her.
- 16:00Speaker 4: He's like, no, it wasn't even like we had criticism
- 16:03Speaker 4: of Savannah. We would just be like, maybe she's not
- 16:05Speaker 4: the winner, and he'd be like, are you stupid?
- 16:09Speaker 1: I mean, right about that?
- 16:13Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, that's not a good nomination at all. Brand,
- 16:16Speaker 4: what are you doing?
- 16:18Speaker 1: I mean, he threw out his last one.
- 16:19Speaker 3: I think we need to leave this one in.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Yeah, it's fair because I think some people did see
- 16:25Speaker 4: her as a villain. I just don't see it.
- 16:27Speaker 1: There's always got to be a zero vote finalist.
- 16:30Speaker 4: This is what we exactly, exactly, and there hasn't been
- 16:33Speaker 4: a non zero vote.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Finally, we haven't even had it.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Yeah, no, Joe Hunter does not exist.
- 16:41Speaker 1: Never got it. Jonathan nomination, Oh guys, he's already come
- 16:47Speaker 1: up one time. But I just think the Shoe band
- 16:49Speaker 1: deserves another nod because you know, he wasn't there for
- 16:53Speaker 1: very long, but he was stealing shoes for literally no reason.
- 16:58Speaker 1: And we didn't have a very wrong villain this season,
- 17:02Speaker 1: but Jake, while he was well, maybe, but I have
- 17:05Speaker 1: a different thought on probably who you're gonna say. I
- 17:09Speaker 1: I think Jake gave enough of a villain thing while
- 17:13Speaker 1: he was there that if if we'd got more of him,
- 17:16Speaker 1: it would have been fun.
- 17:17Speaker 4: That's fair. I don't know. There's something about this awards
- 17:19Speaker 4: for the season, PD, Jonathan. I'm I'm arguing heavily with
- 17:23Speaker 4: some of you guys's nominations.
- 17:25Speaker 1: What is wrong with you? Do you want me to
- 17:27Speaker 1: change mine? Because I have a second one?
- 17:28Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, keep it. But I'm not usually
- 17:33Speaker 4: competitive when it comes to these awards, but I just
- 17:35Speaker 4: think that you've got you're having a.
- 17:36Speaker 1: Hard time getting out of character from this season.
- 17:39Speaker 3: Maybe it's that there are method quality nominees for some
- 17:43Speaker 3: of the categories.
- 17:45Speaker 4: That's fair, that's their p who's your nominee for villain?
- 17:49Speaker 3: My nominee is the woman who wanted to do meditation
- 17:52Speaker 3: with everybody, And they're like, this is the worst thing ever.
- 17:54Speaker 3: I'm going to nominate Shannon. I think really fun villain,
- 17:58Speaker 3: and if she was able to form her cult and
- 18:01Speaker 3: go deep in the game, it would have made Survivor
- 18:03Speaker 3: forty nine a lot more fun.
- 18:06Speaker 4: I agree wholeheartedly. I think that that's the only answer.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Really, I don't know. I feel like, is it you
- 18:13Speaker 1: know a person can be an unintentional villain, right, but
- 18:18Speaker 1: does that mean they're an actual villain?
- 18:20Speaker 4: You know?
- 18:21Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yes, I asked that question. I mean I
- 18:24Speaker 1: think of historical people that thought they were great.
- 18:27Speaker 4: I feel so strongly about Shannon being the best villain
- 18:31Speaker 4: of the season that I knew that it was going
- 18:34Speaker 4: to go almost immediately. I was shocked when it didn't.
- 18:36Speaker 4: But PD, I'm glad that you stepped up and said it.
- 18:38Speaker 4: So I came up with somewhat of a joke answer
- 18:44Speaker 4: for my nominee, okay, which is Christina.
- 18:48Speaker 1: For what her jury question.
- 18:50Speaker 4: Because of her jury question, she was a completely like
- 18:54Speaker 4: I would not call her a villain whatsoever. And then
- 18:57Speaker 4: for some reason in the Final Tribe she decided to
- 19:01Speaker 4: become the joker.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Yeah, she became a little unuh unpredictable.
- 19:07Speaker 4: In that moment.
- 19:08Speaker 3: Imagine the people who don't listen to this show, who
- 19:11Speaker 3: are going to see the poll and they're going to
- 19:13Speaker 3: see Christina, and yeah, they think.
- 19:16Speaker 4: It's a it's a joke answer, it's you know, I
- 19:19Speaker 4: couldn't say Shannon again, so.
- 19:22Speaker 1: I just yeah, yeah, fair enough, fair enough.
- 19:26Speaker 3: I mean, is there anybody else who would qualify?
- 19:29Speaker 1: I cannot throw my secondary out there.
- 19:31Speaker 4: Let's hear it, let's hear it.
- 19:32Speaker 1: I think that there is a I didn't want to
- 19:35Speaker 1: say this person because I really liked a person, but
- 19:37Speaker 1: Sage kind of became, whether it was via the edit
- 19:42Speaker 1: or whether it was actually how she played, she became
- 19:45Speaker 1: kind of the villain of the second I.
- 19:47Speaker 4: Disagree again because if Shannon is our big villain, who
- 19:51Speaker 4: was Shannon's foil, Sage stage was somewhat of a hero.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Well, I just think Sage there was there was a
- 19:59Speaker 1: lot that people could have read into as her being
- 20:02Speaker 1: a villain, like rolling her eyes at the camera, not
- 20:05Speaker 1: taking people at their word, things like.
- 20:07Speaker 4: That, who was she rolling her eyes about?
- 20:09Speaker 1: It was about people that were fake, right.
- 20:12Speaker 4: Like Shannon the villain? So that makes her not that
- 20:15Speaker 4: I mean, we were in the surviv No, that's an
- 20:18Speaker 4: anti hero.
- 20:20Speaker 1: It's you're right, anti villain, it's not a thing.
- 20:28Speaker 4: I think. I think Pet nailed it right on the
- 20:31Speaker 4: head when he said there wasn't that many quality nominees
- 20:35Speaker 4: for this.
- 20:35Speaker 1: He's too nice.
- 20:37Speaker 3: Yeah, that was too nice, not giving the academy a
- 20:41Speaker 3: ton to work with. So are we moving on to
- 20:43Speaker 3: the next category. Quote of the year.
- 20:47Speaker 4: Very hard?
- 20:47Speaker 3: Yeah, that's here from Brandon.
- 20:52Speaker 7: Quote of the Year has to go to r I
- 20:57Speaker 7: Z g O d riz god Babe.
- 21:00Speaker 2: That's the quote.
- 21:01Speaker 7: The quote is him saying his name over and over
- 21:05Speaker 7: again the same way, which is it's all rights g
- 21:09Speaker 7: O d riz god baby. That's quote of the year
- 21:13Speaker 7: or just risk good going.
- 21:21Speaker 2: That?
- 21:23Speaker 1: I mean, when you come in prepared and ready with
- 21:25Speaker 1: a quote.
- 21:27Speaker 4: Yeah, and here's where I think Brand's gonna have an
- 21:32Speaker 4: uphill battle winning with his nomination. I think people did
- 21:35Speaker 4: not like that quote very much.
- 21:38Speaker 8: They didn't, Oh, I'm gonna jump in with my nomination,
- 21:46Speaker 8: my Quote of the Season award.
- 21:49Speaker 4: By the way, she's giving birth to my kid while
- 21:53Speaker 4: I'm out here by Jake. I don't think that I
- 21:59Speaker 4: laughed harder all season than when he said that, and
- 22:04Speaker 4: Baldi goes, oh no.
- 22:08Speaker 9: Oh no, I'm gonna I'm gonna jump in here with
- 22:18Speaker 9: the one that made me laugh probably the hardest, which
- 22:22Speaker 9: was in our final episode.
- 22:26Speaker 1: We have a moment where Rizzo walks up and says,
- 22:31Speaker 1: please use my nickname when you snuff my torchs Jeff.
- 22:35Speaker 1: That that to me made me laugh really hard because
- 22:37Speaker 1: it was such a preposterous thing to ask him to do,
- 22:41Speaker 1: and for Jeff to actually do it was even more insane,
- 22:46Speaker 1: So it made me laugh a lot. It kind of
- 22:49Speaker 1: felt like, Jeff Bush, please clap, like, please use my
- 22:52Speaker 1: mp and he said, riz God, the tripe is spoken.
- 22:56Speaker 1: So we got two risk quotes in here.
- 22:59Speaker 3: Well, yeah, yeah, I have two that I'm torn between.
- 23:05Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna go with a very special quote
- 23:08Speaker 3: just for Brand because I know it's his favorite quote
- 23:11Speaker 3: of the season. So my quote of the year or
- 23:13Speaker 3: quote of the season is name one family member or
- 23:16Speaker 3: a partner from each person on the jury.
- 23:21Speaker 1: Dang, that was such an easy one to pick. I
- 23:24Speaker 1: didn't even think about it.
- 23:25Speaker 4: That's a good think about it. What was your other ones?
- 23:28Speaker 4: Just for your other one?
- 23:29Speaker 3: Just for curiosity, I'm coming over like like the grim Reaper,
- 23:33Speaker 3: but a hot grim Reaper. The Savannah.
- 23:35Speaker 4: Oh that would have been a good one too.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Dang, maybe there were some good quotes going on this.
- 23:41Speaker 4: Yeah, I had a hard time finding finding.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I just had to think about what immediately
- 23:47Speaker 1: hit my mind, and it was, yeah, rizk God asking
- 23:51Speaker 1: that I hate that I even called him that quote.
- 23:54Speaker 4: Of the Season Award nominees, She's giving birth to my
- 23:57Speaker 4: kid while I'm out here, riz God Baby, please use
- 24:01Speaker 4: my nickname when you snuff my torch and name one
- 24:04Speaker 4: family member or partner from each person on the jury.
- 24:08Speaker 3: Hold on, you can't just say riz God baby. You
- 24:09Speaker 3: gotta do it.
- 24:11Speaker 2: Well.
- 24:11Speaker 4: I was just trying to save us time using shorthand.
- 24:17Speaker 4: The nominee is ri I Z g O d risk
- 24:21Speaker 4: God Baby.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Why do you sound like you work at the DMV?
- 24:24Speaker 3: Go on a little more excitement.
- 24:31Speaker 5: R Z.
- 24:35Speaker 3: Nailed it all right. The next category, let's go with
- 24:39Speaker 3: the Game Changer Award. Let's hear from our favorite person
- 24:45Speaker 3: who doesn't understand the rules of this brand.
- 24:49Speaker 7: So many moves, just kidding, not many moves.
- 24:56Speaker 2: Really racking my brain for this one. For the Game
- 25:00Speaker 2: Changer reward.
- 25:03Speaker 1: Uh.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go with.
- 25:09Speaker 7: Savannah and Rizzo pulling soph into their alliance. They were
- 25:18Speaker 7: at the bottom, They're having a tough time, and if
- 25:21Speaker 7: you remember, So still had a relationship with Alex that
- 25:28Speaker 7: she could have fallen back on and decided to kind
- 25:30Speaker 7: of make her bed and go with uh Savannah and
- 25:36Speaker 7: riz Gott. And I think that was an amazing move
- 25:40Speaker 7: for Savannah and Rizzo obviously, but also it was a
- 25:43Speaker 7: great move for So. She was able to, you know,
- 25:49Speaker 7: not necessarily ride the coattails of them to the final,
- 25:51Speaker 7: but it definitely helped her in the long run.
- 25:55Speaker 2: So that's gonna be my game changer.
- 26:00Speaker 4: You could tell he really had nothing in front of him.
- 26:03Speaker 4: He had nothing in front of him. He was just
- 26:05Speaker 4: like with a voice memo like.
- 26:12Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna cut in, all right, I'm gonna
- 26:15Speaker 1: tap in like we're dancing. I'm gonna tap a shoulder.
- 26:18Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say that a one move that I
- 26:21Speaker 1: thought was very unique and somehow worked. I don't know
- 26:25Speaker 1: if it was necessarily game changing, but when Nate and
- 26:29Speaker 1: EMC were on the journey, Nate had this moment where
- 26:32Speaker 1: he kind of played her into not going and finding
- 26:35Speaker 1: the advantage and he just did it through pure and
- 26:41Speaker 1: I thought it was great, and I really thought Nate
- 26:44Speaker 1: was gonna make it further in the game because of
- 26:46Speaker 1: how good that was. So that's my that's my game changer.
- 26:52Speaker 3: That really did change the game.
- 26:59Speaker 1: What I said, I wasn't sure if it changed the game,
- 27:03Speaker 1: but it was a move. It wasn't. Okay, and Chase,
- 27:07Speaker 1: do you want to go or please go first? Okay.
- 27:11Speaker 1: I make the.
- 27:11Speaker 3: Rules for these so I understand what's in bounds and
- 27:15Speaker 3: what's not. So I went to the manual, okay, and
- 27:20Speaker 3: I checked to see if this was legal, and it is.
- 27:22Speaker 3: I'm going to nominate the secret and the move that
- 27:26Speaker 3: made was because that was a move. It changed the game.
- 27:34Speaker 3: And nowhere in the rules doesn't say that the move
- 27:37Speaker 3: can't be made by an animal. There's no rule against
- 27:40Speaker 3: an animal being nominated.
- 27:42Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna take it, and we're gonna say that
- 27:45Speaker 1: next season an animal cannot be the game.
- 27:48Speaker 4: Actually, if an animals the game next season two for fifty,
- 27:51Speaker 4: then it should be a permanent rule.
- 27:53Speaker 1: Yeah, but think about it.
- 27:55Speaker 3: Mind, the secret did change the game? Am I wrong?
- 27:58Speaker 1: It's true, It's true.
- 28:00Speaker 4: And you can tell that there was strategy behind the
- 28:02Speaker 4: snakes move because he dry bit him. He could have
- 28:05Speaker 4: done the full poison. He didn't want to kill him,
- 28:08Speaker 4: he just wanted him out of the game.
- 28:09Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it was the doctor who really did the
- 28:11Speaker 1: power move.
- 28:12Speaker 4: That's that's fair. I was torn between two. I'm gonna
- 28:17Speaker 4: go with this one because I feel like it's the
- 28:20Speaker 4: obvious one and people will be like, why isn't that nominated?
- 28:23Speaker 4: And that is Rizzo bluffing his way into keeping his
- 28:27Speaker 4: idol every week.
- 28:29Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I had a I had another one, and
- 28:39Speaker 10: this one was just for for funzies.
- 28:41Speaker 4: I do think a big game changing move was when
- 28:43Speaker 4: Savannah won the advantage which allowed her to vote in
- 28:48Speaker 4: the split tribal, which ended up MC getting sent home
- 28:52Speaker 4: because I'm not so sure Savannah dominates every challenge if
- 28:56Speaker 4: mcs still in the game, I I have Okay, So
- 29:04Speaker 4: our nominees. Our nominees for the Game Changer Award are
- 29:09Speaker 4: Rizzo bluffing his way into keeping his idol every week,
- 29:12Speaker 4: Nate manipulating MC into not looking for the advantage, pulling
- 29:16Speaker 4: Baldy into Rizzo and Savannah's alliance, and then the Sea
- 29:19Speaker 4: cret Dry biting Jake to get him out parentheses but
- 29:23Speaker 4: not killing him.
- 29:24Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty strong contenders. Here yeap, very strong.
- 29:29Speaker 3: Let's move on to the Funniest Award, And what does
- 29:33Speaker 3: Brand have to say about this one?
- 29:37Speaker 7: I think you know, at first glance when it comes
- 29:40Speaker 7: to funniest, you think about Rizzo because of how outwardly.
- 29:44Speaker 2: Funny he is, even with his name and whatnot.
- 29:48Speaker 7: But I'm gonna go with Sage on this one, not
- 29:52Speaker 7: because of her the interesting tidbit she would share about
- 29:58Speaker 7: collecting blackheads and whatnot. I'm gonna go specifically Sage's facial
- 30:04Speaker 7: expressions this season or on another level, they made me
- 30:08Speaker 7: laugh all the time, just like her eye rolls when
- 30:12Speaker 7: they would people would turn their back, her faces when
- 30:14Speaker 7: someone would say something.
- 30:16Speaker 2: It was so funny.
- 30:18Speaker 7: And so I'm gonna give the Funny Award to Sage man.
- 30:23Speaker 1: That was gonna be my answer too.
- 30:26Speaker 3: Yep, Sage was I think the obvious pick. So I'm
- 30:30Speaker 3: gonna go with the joker to Sage's batman. I'm gonna
- 30:35Speaker 3: nominate Shannon once again because when Shannon said that she
- 30:38Speaker 3: was that she remembered being in the womb and she
- 30:43Speaker 3: asked Ai ram Das and Ai Jesus for survivor advice.
- 30:48Speaker 3: Just an incredible bit. And now and now she loves
- 30:51Speaker 3: the chosen and like I think, wants to move to Utah.
- 30:54Speaker 3: So she's just like, she's an incredible person.
- 30:59Speaker 1: I'm gonna give mine to Christine based off of one thing,
- 31:03Speaker 1: which was her almost breaking her back on the way
- 31:05Speaker 1: down that slide and then going it's just physical.
- 31:12Speaker 3: Yeah, so you got her wrong, Christine.
- 31:15Speaker 1: It's yeah, maybe I'm the funniest Castaway today, but yeah,
- 31:21Speaker 1: I would yeah, Christina.
- 31:23Speaker 4: And once again, I'm in the position where I feel
- 31:26Speaker 4: like I need to nominate Rizzo just because it's the
- 31:28Speaker 4: obvious one that people are gonna be looking for it
- 31:31Speaker 4: to vote for, but I I also kind of want
- 31:34Speaker 4: to nominate Juwan. I feel like Juan's mister Bean like
- 31:38Speaker 4: blunders of you know, putting sticks in Savannah's bags and
- 31:42Speaker 4: then you know, stealing Rizzo's torch to get snuffed at
- 31:47Speaker 4: the end. It's so funny. I'm gonna have to go
- 31:49Speaker 4: with Juwan.
- 31:50Speaker 1: We love to see it.
- 31:51Speaker 4: Nominees for Funniest Castaway Award Our Sage, Shannon, Christina, and Juwan.
- 31:58Speaker 3: You want so, I think we have like three categories left.
- 32:03Speaker 3: Let's get to the Big Mistake Award.
- 32:06Speaker 7: For the Big Mistake Award, I am going to go
- 32:10Speaker 7: specifically with soph not taking Rizzo's idol. I think if
- 32:20Speaker 7: she takes Rizzo's idol, she wins the game, So it's
- 32:25Speaker 7: just that symbol. Obviously she goofed with the way that
- 32:27Speaker 7: she played that advantage all all together. But gotta go
- 32:32Speaker 7: with her not taking There's so many Obviously this might
- 32:35Speaker 7: be everybody bringing a different time that someone should have
- 32:39Speaker 7: taken Rizzo's idol.
- 32:41Speaker 2: But I'm gonna go specifically with Soph.
- 32:44Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the obvious answer. What what the fuck's up
- 32:47Speaker 4: with him calling her sof instead of Baldy all of a.
- 32:50Speaker 1: Sudden, Yeah, yeah, can we can we not?
- 32:53Speaker 4: You know, what is he doing?
- 32:54Speaker 1: He's not here acting weird, he's taking our answers, he's
- 32:58Speaker 1: calling people the wrong name something. Who does that?
- 33:01Speaker 3: You remember when he got drunk on the semi final episode, Ah, yes,
- 33:06Speaker 3: I do.
- 33:07Speaker 4: He wasn't drunk.
- 33:09Speaker 1: He has been completely sleep deprived. Then it was it
- 33:14Speaker 1: was I don't know, brother.
- 33:16Speaker 4: I'm just saying you don't. You don't eat three steaks
- 33:19Speaker 4: and two old fashions and then just like I'm tired.
- 33:22Speaker 1: Yeah, and one Frida egg.
- 33:26Speaker 3: It made that weird noise because I said, I accused
- 33:35Speaker 3: brand of eating spaghetti, and he goes, no, no, no,
- 33:39Speaker 3: I I had steak, and I had this, and I had.
- 33:42Speaker 1: This one Friday egg.
- 33:48Speaker 3: Yeah, that guy was totally so good.
- 33:52Speaker 1: That night went out laughing so hard. Norson Wells reference
- 33:59Speaker 1: that night too.
- 34:01Speaker 4: I'm gonna jump in. I'm gonna jump in.
- 34:03Speaker 2: He took the most obvious one, which.
- 34:05Speaker 3: I think we all forgot about that award.
- 34:09Speaker 4: My nominee is for the Big Mistake Award, Matt telling
- 34:16Speaker 4: Savannah that he was in finding.
- 34:20Speaker 1: That's a good one. I forgot it happened. My big mistake, Yeah,
- 34:32Speaker 1: my big mistake is people not just voting Savannah off
- 34:38Speaker 1: the first time that she lost an immunity challenge, because
- 34:43Speaker 1: and they did it multiple times, so what twice where
- 34:46Speaker 1: she won or lost them and they went really odd
- 34:50Speaker 1: routes with their votes where they just did not they
- 34:53Speaker 1: didn't vote for her and they didn't vote for Rizzo. Yeah,
- 34:57Speaker 1: and so I guess my big mistake is is them
- 35:00Speaker 1: not striking they could. Yeah, yeah, even though she's the winner,
- 35:06Speaker 1: But I'm saying like that's I would consider that to
- 35:09Speaker 1: be a massive mistake.
- 35:10Speaker 4: We're not arguing with you.
- 35:12Speaker 3: Stop arguing I'm gonna argue with you because now, the
- 35:15Speaker 3: big mistake was not voting out the winner, because every
- 35:18Speaker 3: season there is a winner.
- 35:19Speaker 1: No, no, no, And I was saying, I was saying this
- 35:23Speaker 1: before we knew that she was the winner. And remember
- 35:25Speaker 1: I thought that Sophie was going to win the season.
- 35:28Speaker 1: I really did. But the entire time, I'm like, why
- 35:31Speaker 1: are they not voting Savannah?
- 35:33Speaker 4: Yeah? No, I see what Jonathan saying. It's not that
- 35:37Speaker 4: he's not saying that they should have. Yeah, because the
- 35:40Speaker 4: mistake was not voting out the winner. It was they
- 35:43Speaker 4: had two at least two prime opportunities to take her
- 35:46Speaker 4: out and two people that were running the game and
- 35:48Speaker 4: they knew it, they knew they were but they kept
- 35:51Speaker 4: going with like very strange votes where you're like, this
- 35:56Speaker 4: person is not the threat right now?
- 35:58Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, mine is gonna be em C not
- 36:04Speaker 3: play or no m C playing her idol because Juwan
- 36:09Speaker 3: told her that they had the votes and told her
- 36:12Speaker 3: what to do, and instead she played her idol and
- 36:14Speaker 3: it spooked to everybody, and then she went home the
- 36:16Speaker 3: next week.
- 36:18Speaker 1: Yeah about that too. That was pretty bad.
- 36:21Speaker 4: Another good one would have been the idol that was
- 36:23Speaker 4: played on Christina played her idol on Steven Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 36:33Speaker 4: which he wasn't even in the running to go. That
- 36:35Speaker 4: one was probably as a.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Lot of weird idol blunders.
- 36:42Speaker 4: Yeah, at least they.
- 36:44Speaker 1: That's also true.
- 36:45Speaker 3: But I think the the other nominee is when Jake
- 36:48Speaker 3: was in the water, when he stepped into the water
- 36:52Speaker 3: right before the secret got him.
- 36:55Speaker 1: Yeah, m M, I saw a secret. Now he fears fate.
- 36:59Speaker 1: You know.
- 37:12Speaker 3: Let's go with the Making the Merge MVP award.
- 37:18Speaker 7: When talking about players that gave Making the Merge the
- 37:24Speaker 7: most to work with, the person that first comes to
- 37:28Speaker 7: mind is.
- 37:31Speaker 2: She's on the Case Sophie Segretti.
- 37:34Speaker 7: I'm interesting, you know, I think we had a lot
- 37:38Speaker 7: of fun with that bit.
- 37:40Speaker 2: But more importantly, this isn't the bit of the year.
- 37:42Speaker 2: This is the player of the year.
- 37:43Speaker 7: She gave us a lot of ammunition with her gameplay,
- 37:48Speaker 7: with her rivalry with Savannah, with the way that she
- 37:53Speaker 7: just kind of butt in and was like call Baldy.
- 37:58Speaker 7: So she gave us a lot to work with. So
- 38:00Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with She's on the case, so.
- 38:03Speaker 1: Gritty should should We also clarify one more time for
- 38:07Speaker 1: the listeners that this is the MVP of our podcast,
- 38:10Speaker 1: not a Survivor season. It is the MVP that we
- 38:14Speaker 1: feel like gave us the most value as a podcast.
- 38:18Speaker 1: It's it's very selfish, but uh, it's just that's the
- 38:22Speaker 1: highest honor.
- 38:23Speaker 3: Who gave us the most to work with. Essentially.
- 38:27Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go I'm gonna I'm gonna steal it.
- 38:31Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that. I felt like Baldy gave us
- 38:36Speaker 1: a lot to work with this season by not only
- 38:39Speaker 1: interacting and calling us yes, but just by being in
- 38:44Speaker 1: the season and giving us a lot to talk about
- 38:46Speaker 1: at being an all around a great person.
- 38:49Speaker 3: So, Baldy, I mean, I think she deserves the nomination
- 38:54Speaker 3: for the sweater alone. I love that sweater so much.
- 38:57Speaker 1: You own the sweater. That's how much impact she had
- 38:59Speaker 1: on the podcast.
- 39:01Speaker 3: It's true of Baldy, Baldy, and for my nomination. Okay,
- 39:08Speaker 3: so Sigretti's taken, Baldi's taken. I think I have to
- 39:13Speaker 3: nominate riz God because we got the song out of
- 39:18Speaker 3: Risk God, lots of fun quotes. He was just a
- 39:21Speaker 3: lot of fun to watch during the season. I mean
- 39:23Speaker 3: all the Mario stuff, yeah.
- 39:26Speaker 1: The Mario thing alone. Yeah.
- 39:29Speaker 3: So when we were gonna do the improv show, I
- 39:31Speaker 3: was listening to this three minute clip of Mario voice
- 39:34Speaker 3: lines like all put together, because I was gonna try
- 39:37Speaker 3: to do the impression, and then I thought, wait, what
- 39:39Speaker 3: if I just chopped this up and then we have
- 39:41Speaker 3: like five different Mario soundbites, And that's what I went with,
- 39:45Speaker 3: and it was the best decision I made all season.
- 39:52Speaker 1: They're just also a little bit too long. That's the
- 39:55Speaker 1: best part about them.
- 39:58Speaker 3: Right, who's your MVP?
- 40:02Speaker 4: My MVP? I am torn between two. The first one
- 40:07Speaker 4: I want to go because our most viewed clip this
- 40:09Speaker 4: season was Nicole spitting in Jeremiah's face, so I wanted
- 40:14Speaker 4: to maybe give the nom to Nicole. But here's the thing.
- 40:19Speaker 4: Shannon got us into the Survivor cafe, and that is
- 40:25Speaker 4: more important to me than views on a on a video.
- 40:28Speaker 4: So my nominee is Shannon for getting us access into
- 40:32Speaker 4: the sold out Survivor cafe.
- 40:34Speaker 1: That's a good one. That's a great one.
- 40:38Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll never forget that night with Wild and Will
- 40:42Speaker 3: and Tony and yeah, all the people in the Survivor bar,
- 40:47Speaker 3: the woman.
- 40:47Speaker 1: Dressed up as a secret wife. Yeah, you're like Will,
- 40:52Speaker 1: Tony and everyone else either.
- 40:57Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 41:00Speaker 1: I just thought it was very no.
- 41:01Speaker 4: I knew what you would I knew what you meant
- 41:03Speaker 4: that the woman dressed the secret.
- 41:05Speaker 3: Yeah, that person looked. I didn't have to mention the
- 41:09Speaker 3: members of the Trisa Chess Alliance.
- 41:11Speaker 4: Yeah that's right. Uh yeah. So the nominees for the
- 41:16Speaker 4: Making the Merge MVP Award are Riz God, Shannon Sigaretti
- 41:20Speaker 4: and Baldy.
- 41:22Speaker 3: All right, and I think that leads us with just
- 41:24Speaker 3: one more category, and that's the Making the Merge or
- 41:29Speaker 3: two more because I think we added another one spontaneously.
- 41:31Speaker 3: So uh bit of three three more, three more? Okay,
- 41:36Speaker 3: this is gonna be the Making the Merge Running Bit
- 41:38Speaker 3: of the Year award.
- 41:39Speaker 1: Take it away, Brian.
- 41:42Speaker 7: I can act like I hate it all that I want,
- 41:46Speaker 7: but not today. My Bit of the Year goes to
- 41:50Speaker 7: Jonathan and cute Little Dice.
- 41:52Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 41:54Speaker 7: I loved it, Jonathan, I loved it.
- 41:59Speaker 2: I thought it was very funny. I still don't know
- 42:03Speaker 2: if you actually rolled Dice. I don't even know if
- 42:05Speaker 2: you have. Guys, it made me laugh.
- 42:09Speaker 7: I'm gonna give you this award and congratulate you on
- 42:13Speaker 7: not winning the season because I did that.
- 42:15Speaker 2: But I will give you this award.
- 42:18Speaker 1: I was gonna be pretty upset if no one nominated
- 42:22Speaker 1: my plan.
- 42:22Speaker 4: Thought you would have nominated it yourself.
- 42:24Speaker 1: I had it ready to go. I had it. I
- 42:26Speaker 1: had two options ready to go, one that was mine
- 42:30Speaker 1: and one that was lesser. So thank you, briand thank
- 42:38Speaker 1: you Pet.
- 42:39Speaker 4: Weren't you jumping next?
- 42:43Speaker 3: I think that I'm going to nominate gold Derby.
- 42:49Speaker 1: Gold Derby's good.
- 42:51Speaker 4: That is a fun one. I had that one written
- 42:53Speaker 4: down as well.
- 42:54Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Yeah.
- 42:55Speaker 3: So Chase insisting on not doing any work and plagiarizing
- 43:00Speaker 3: bedding website's.
- 43:05Speaker 4: Man, it's hard to deny. Jonathan, what's yours?
- 43:10Speaker 1: I really like the Mario sound drops? So that was
- 43:17Speaker 1: the one.
- 43:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 43:19Speaker 1: I just every time they happen it makes me laugh,
- 43:22Speaker 1: and it makes me laugh how long they are. I mean,
- 43:25Speaker 1: it's it's like the fact that they go so long
- 43:33Speaker 1: and you think every two seconds that it's going to
- 43:36Speaker 1: be the last one, and it just like, give give
- 43:39Speaker 1: one of them a good spin here for a p D.
- 43:42Speaker 1: All right, that's that is Uh, it's seventeen is what
- 44:02Speaker 1: I think I just counted, and uh you think it
- 44:06Speaker 1: like number five? It's over. He's going.
- 44:11Speaker 4: Yeah, once again, I'm torn between two nominations. Smooth jazz.
- 44:18Speaker 4: PD has been very fun, but I don't bloomer, very bloomer.
- 44:27Speaker 4: I don't think the I laughed harder this season than
- 44:32Speaker 4: when Jonathan asked about chomping at the bit to talk
- 44:37Speaker 4: about that Juwan sauce. The Juwan sauce has become my
- 44:41Speaker 4: favorite bit. Uh. In our Patreon, someone sent a picture
- 44:45Speaker 4: of Ranch and said, is this that Jiwan? It was
- 44:49Speaker 4: so gross.
- 44:53Speaker 3: And love that if you know what that means. It
- 44:55Speaker 3: means that Segretti didn't get nominated. I feel like we
- 44:59Speaker 3: have to Segretti's on the Case nominated for MVP. So
- 45:03Speaker 3: is that like a consolation.
- 45:05Speaker 4: Look, here's what I'll say about Detective Segretti on the Case,
- 45:09Speaker 4: probably our fan favorite running bit. We should probably include it.
- 45:13Speaker 4: We could just add it as a fifth Yeah.
- 45:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel honored to have two nominations. I'm going
- 45:21Speaker 1: to be a two time Mergie nominee and I was
- 45:26Speaker 1: I was really close.
- 45:28Speaker 4: That was good too, man. I was honored that this year,
- 45:34Speaker 4: instead of PD nominating his own bit, which he did
- 45:37Speaker 4: last year. Last season, he nominated my bit. And I
- 45:40Speaker 4: really appreciate that PD.
- 45:43Speaker 1: And I appreciate Brand because then I didn't have to,
- 45:46Speaker 1: you know.
- 45:50Speaker 3: And I think this should have been in contention in
- 45:53Speaker 3: a non sexual.
- 45:56Speaker 4: That originated last season though, right or no during time
- 46:00Speaker 4: Jake that's Jake no Way.
- 46:04Speaker 3: Voice, and I think, yeah, that's crazy.
- 46:07Speaker 4: I thought we've been running that one for seasons.
- 46:10Speaker 1: I think it was like episode one or two that
- 46:12Speaker 1: we threw that one out.
- 46:13Speaker 3: He was talking about his bromance Alex.
- 46:18Speaker 4: That's crazy that that all happened in this I.
- 46:20Speaker 1: Mean, it would have been weeks ago. You know.
- 46:23Speaker 3: It's crazy is that you thought that it was somebody
- 46:25Speaker 3: from a past season.
- 46:27Speaker 4: It was the whole time my bad man. That was crazy.
- 46:31Speaker 1: Survivor time moves in like a weird alternate dimension.
- 46:35Speaker 4: Would you like would you like to just include that
- 46:37Speaker 4: one in the nominees as well, not in a non
- 46:40Speaker 4: sexual way.
- 46:41Speaker 1: Let's just put all of our bits on that.
- 46:43Speaker 4: All right? Why not?
- 46:45Speaker 3: Next up? So we're gonna do the Baby Come Back Award.
- 46:48Speaker 3: That's where we want somebody to return to the game
- 46:51Speaker 3: in a future season. And let me find Brand's clip.
- 46:59Speaker 7: I mean, and is there any other possible person to
- 47:03Speaker 7: pick for the Baby Comeback award other than Jake Snake,
- 47:11Speaker 7: Jake the snake.
- 47:12Speaker 2: I mean, guy.
- 47:14Speaker 7: Got guy, got guy, got outed by a snake.
- 47:19Speaker 2: Bring the Man back.
- 47:21Speaker 1: Yep, he sure did. Yeah, that's what we call it.
- 47:26Speaker 4: You can tell her that was the last one that
- 47:27Speaker 4: Brandon did.
- 47:29Speaker 1: Yep, Mike Uh, I was gonna say Jake as well,
- 47:34Speaker 1: because once again, my player and I really felt sad
- 47:38Speaker 1: that we didn't get to see him more. But I'm
- 47:40Speaker 1: gonna say Sage. I'd love to see Sage play the
- 47:42Speaker 1: game again. I know, but I'm just I'm throwing it
- 47:47Speaker 1: out there because I think Sage doesn't understand that people
- 47:50Speaker 1: genuinely did enjoy having her on the show.
- 47:52Speaker 4: Right right. But she would argue with you because even
- 47:56Speaker 4: in like one of the first interviews, someone was like,
- 48:00Speaker 4: do you feel better now that you're off the island?
- 48:02Speaker 4: Like that they didn't all hate you? And she goes, no,
- 48:04Speaker 4: I don't know how to express to you. They cut
- 48:07Speaker 4: so much, they did all hate me. So she's still
- 48:09Speaker 4: doubling down months later.
- 48:12Speaker 1: Then maybe maybe UH can't change mine. Then, just out
- 48:17Speaker 1: of respect for Sage, then I want to see Jeremiah again.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Bring it back?
- 48:21Speaker 4: Okay, all right?
- 48:23Speaker 1: Yeah, I like the energy. We want to see more
- 48:26Speaker 1: of it.
- 48:27Speaker 3: So we got Jake and Jeremiah. I'm gonna jump in
- 48:30Speaker 3: here and nominate Sophie be otherwise known as Baldy.
- 48:35Speaker 4: Yeah, of course I would love for her to come back.
- 48:37Speaker 3: Yeah, she was so likable. This is a really fun character,
- 48:41Speaker 3: Latino and all that.
- 48:42Speaker 4: So yeah, second place, she came in second place. Yeah,
- 48:47Speaker 4: I'm nominating Juwan.
- 48:53Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great pick too.
- 48:55Speaker 4: By the end, I was really wanting him to come
- 48:58Speaker 4: back for an All Star season. I really think that
- 49:00Speaker 4: he played a good game in a hard game. So
- 49:02Speaker 4: I would like to see him come back.
- 49:04Speaker 1: Dang. Kind of wish i'd said, Jaman, Well you don't
- 49:08Speaker 1: have to. I don't have to, all right.
- 49:11Speaker 4: Our next, so our nominees for Baby Comeback Award, Juwan, Baldy, Jake, Jeremiah.
- 49:16Speaker 4: That's a good that's a good sleeper pick, which leads
- 49:19Speaker 4: us to our last award, which is our what did
- 49:24Speaker 4: you call it?
- 49:25Speaker 3: Pd the making the Merge Grammy Award.
- 49:28Speaker 1: The Grammy Award basically, what's another word for a grandmother
- 49:31Speaker 1: we could use instead of Grammy?
- 49:33Speaker 4: And that the Banana Awardah, we can call him the dove,
- 49:41Speaker 4: the dub Awards.
- 49:43Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not taking.
- 49:47Speaker 4: Basically, we don't have nominations prepared for this one because
- 49:50Speaker 4: we're just The nominees are all of the songs that
- 49:53Speaker 4: we made for this season, which was the the same
- 50:00Speaker 4: each song that Jonathan did at the end.
- 50:03Speaker 1: Bite from Bite from a Snake or what what do
- 50:05Speaker 1: I call it? We Roll from a dice?
- 50:07Speaker 4: Yeah, roll from a dice? Let me write that down.
- 50:15Speaker 4: Then there was, of course, we had many Riz my
- 50:19Speaker 4: Riz God defending this track. We had m seasoned Angel
- 50:24Speaker 4: by Brand very good, and then we had Jonathan's song
- 50:28Speaker 4: about Jake getting bit by a snake? Yeah? What you
- 50:32Speaker 4: the American pie one?
- 50:33Speaker 1: What did I call that one? Oh? It was called Guy?
- 50:38Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. And that is the four songs that
- 50:42Speaker 4: were made. Now, obviously we had little songs, but that
- 50:45Speaker 4: falls more into the running bits like the shan that
- 50:51Speaker 4: kind of thing.
- 50:52Speaker 3: That's a great one is on the case too. Doesn't
- 50:55Speaker 3: it had that sweet sweet sax in it?
- 50:58Speaker 4: Yeah? It did. So the nominees for Song of the
- 51:02Speaker 4: Season is Many Riz, m Season Angel, Roll from a Dice,
- 51:06Speaker 4: and Nipple Pierced Guy.
- 51:10Speaker 3: What a track list there?
- 51:12Speaker 4: We should put out an EP.
- 51:14Speaker 1: When's the drop.
- 51:16Speaker 3: We should put out an EP that we get like
- 51:19Speaker 3: not even a cent of like I mean, how much
- 51:22Speaker 3: would we get in royalties because of all of the.
- 51:24Speaker 1: Point zero zero three or something. Oh, and then it
- 51:28Speaker 1: would get split to the parodies. I don't know, parody
- 51:32Speaker 1: law is weird.
- 51:33Speaker 3: Yeah, it wouldn't be a successful venture.
- 51:35Speaker 1: I think it would be.
- 51:38Speaker 4: Just to be able to know that people could get
- 51:41Speaker 4: in their car and pull up Spotify and play many
- 51:45Speaker 4: riz what we should do.
- 51:48Speaker 1: What we should do is just get all of those audios,
- 51:51Speaker 1: put them back to back and drop it as a
- 51:53Speaker 1: mixtape at the end of the season.
- 51:55Speaker 4: Let's do it. You're in charge of that, all right,
- 51:57Speaker 4: I got you.
- 51:58Speaker 1: I need all those files right now. Could you get
- 52:00Speaker 1: on your emails real quick?
- 52:02Speaker 3: Should we include the forty eight ones and then happy Mixtape?
- 52:08Speaker 3: How about Dj Jonathan comes in in between songs.
- 52:11Speaker 4: I'm I'm down like Casey Caseum. Yeah, this one top
- 52:16Speaker 4: the charts on TikTok with four hundred thousand.

- 53:30Speaker 3: the show with New Year's resolutions? What is your new
- 53:34Speaker 3: Year's resolution for season fifty or just for the year
- 53:37Speaker 3: in general?
- 53:39Speaker 1: Man, I don't even know. I don't even want to
- 53:43Speaker 1: be around anymore, you know. I think you should leave
- 53:52Speaker 1: reference there for you. I I want to come up
- 53:56Speaker 1: with another magnificent plan.
- 53:59Speaker 3: For seasons fIF Oh jesus.
- 54:02Speaker 1: I don't know what it is yet.
- 54:03Speaker 3: I don't know what was the plan thought for this
- 54:06Speaker 3: last season?
- 54:07Speaker 1: Are you?
- 54:08Speaker 3: Like you said you can reveal it on the finale.
- 54:10Speaker 3: You didn't really I will.
- 54:12Speaker 1: I will truly tell you this is one hundred percent
- 54:15Speaker 1: of the truth of the plan. Thought, Okay, I I,
- 54:18Speaker 1: in fact, probably a month before the season started, I
- 54:23Speaker 1: came up with the dice idea. So that really was
- 54:26Speaker 1: the plan. I really did roll dice, and I really did.
- 54:30Speaker 1: I read out how the rules worked. I had like
- 54:33Speaker 1: a piece of paper in front of me and was
- 54:35Speaker 1: just like working through it. So I really did roll
- 54:38Speaker 1: the dice, but I wanted to make it completely chaotic
- 54:43Speaker 1: the whole season to where nobody truly knew what was
- 54:48Speaker 1: going on, and then it kind of evolved as y'all were, like, Jonathan,
- 54:52Speaker 1: we didn't even see the dice. I thought, this has
- 54:54Speaker 1: given me an opportunity to just actually run with the
- 54:59Speaker 1: you putting some doubt out there, So that was I
- 55:04Speaker 1: really did roll dice completely for my team. And Jake
- 55:08Speaker 1: is in fact the only one that I got a
- 55:09Speaker 1: free pick for, so nice, nice right, And Chase did
- 55:13Speaker 1: in fact lose to dice. Yeah, specifically this one that
- 55:18Speaker 1: that is the dice I used a little D twenty.
- 55:20Speaker 4: Like in hindsight, the fact I should have known I
- 55:23Speaker 4: was screwed. I'd picked Jeremiah first rap. And that leads
- 55:27Speaker 4: me to my new year's resolution, which is I'm going
- 55:30Speaker 4: to work really really hard on my team, Like I'm
- 55:35Speaker 4: going to try to have a really good draft, and
- 55:40Speaker 4: we have a surprise in store for kicking off season
- 55:43Speaker 4: fifty and how the draft's gonna work. And all I
- 55:46Speaker 4: can say is there's a big possibility that I will
- 55:55Speaker 4: not draft last, which is kind of a hindrance for
- 56:03Speaker 4: season fifty because you want to kind of draft last
- 56:06Speaker 4: pick for season fifty. So we'll see, we'll see how
- 56:09Speaker 4: I'm able to play with it.
- 56:10Speaker 1: It's okay if you want to say that I will
- 56:13Speaker 1: draft first, Chase.
- 56:15Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing, right, and this is where strategy
- 56:17Speaker 4: is really going to have to come to play. P
- 56:19Speaker 4: D is going to want to draft last because he
- 56:24Speaker 4: has like five returning players for season fifty, which means
- 56:29Speaker 4: if he drafts last, due to the Snake Draft, he
- 56:32Speaker 4: gets to pick two players in a row. And the
- 56:34Speaker 4: way that we're doing it is if you have a
- 56:37Speaker 4: returning player coming back for fifty, you get first DIBs
- 56:40Speaker 4: on them. No one in round one can draft your
- 56:44Speaker 4: returning player until you draft. Then it's free free ran.
- 56:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 56:49Speaker 4: So if your last pick, no one can pick any
- 56:52Speaker 4: of your returning players, and then you can get two
- 56:54Speaker 4: returning players back to back.
- 56:57Speaker 1: We're gonna have to think this through without revealing, obviously
- 57:00Speaker 1: to the crowd.
- 57:00Speaker 4: We have, and I can explain it to you when
- 57:02Speaker 4: we get off here.
- 57:03Speaker 1: Okayeah, okay, okay.
- 57:06Speaker 3: I thought it through and I have a pretty good
- 57:09Speaker 3: idea of who I'm going to take, but I'm gonna
- 57:10Speaker 3: leave it a mystery to all of you people.
- 57:13Speaker 4: Yeah, there's someone like Brand, someone like Brand who doesn't
- 57:16Speaker 4: have any returning players or except for Savannah, Yeah, obviously
- 57:22Speaker 4: he might want to draft first because then he can
- 57:26Speaker 4: just draft someone like Ozzie or you know, Christian, Christian,
- 57:31Speaker 4: you know, someone that we have never drafted before because
- 57:33Speaker 4: it was before we started the draft. So same goes
- 57:36Speaker 4: for Jonathan, even though Jonathan has like you have Genevieve,
- 57:40Speaker 4: and maybe that's it.
- 57:42Speaker 1: Is that the only person I have Gwinevieve?
- 57:45Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you didn't have Rizzo, you didn't
- 57:48Speaker 4: have hmmm yeah, or did you have Joe.
- 57:54Speaker 1: Or did have Joe? Yeah? I did have Joe.
- 57:57Speaker 4: So you have a you have a couple of returning
- 57:59Speaker 4: I have Q. I think that might be it. So
- 58:05Speaker 4: I don't really care if I if I where I draft. Really,
- 58:09Speaker 4: I just have to make a decision of do I
- 58:10Speaker 4: want to take Q first or do I want to
- 58:12Speaker 4: take something else? What's your resolution to draft?
- 58:20Speaker 3: Dvidars say that I didn't mean to say that. My
- 58:27Speaker 3: I mean on a more serious note, like, there's like
- 58:29Speaker 3: a motto that I'm trying to live by this year
- 58:33Speaker 3: for twenty twenty six, and that's keeping it tight. And
- 58:36Speaker 3: what that means is like my body and my schedule
- 58:40Speaker 3: and like sleep and everything. We're just we're keeping it
- 58:42Speaker 3: tight in twenty twenty six.
- 58:44Speaker 4: I like that. I like that, Jonathan. Do you have
