- 1:19race guy. Okay, right, that's like the coke and Pepsi of two
- 1:23thousands reality. Yeah, yeah, you'll you'll be really great when that one
- 1:26comes a season nine of Gately Past Man. I'll take an uber here I'll
- 1:32bike the rest of the way. Whatever they do an amazing race, ya,
- 1:34whoever they do, you're a massive fan, so the opposite direction for
- 1:38a while. Double back, oh man, oh man. And in this
- 1:42one, I'm gonna survive because that's this show. Yes, Okay, so
- 1:47we've established Jason not seen much Survivor. No, I've seen two episodes,
- 1:51and we're gonna get into which two episodes? Okay, fantastic, we'll put
- 1:53a pin in that, Ordre. What about yourself? Have you seen much
- 1:57Survivor? I've seen four episodes. I watched Stuart, Jason and fantastic,
- 2:07a wealth of knowledge in the studio. This episode it's buggles the mind.
- 2:15Well, it really sounds like like really this episode, it really sounds like
- 2:19that to play these games about Survivor, you'll each need to form an alliance
- 2:23with a fellow castaway. So, Jason, who is your teammates today?
- 2:27Oh man? He's a podcaster, a Survivor fan, a mainer. Yeah,
- 2:31it's Dan of the Movie Seller podcast. Hello Dan. Hey, Hey.
- 2:36It was so hard to like bite my tongue during all of that because,
- 2:39like you know, there's a big crossover between Amazing Race and Survivor.
- 2:45There's a lot of a lot of castaways that have been on amazing race and
- 2:49back and forth, so okay, yeah, that does make sense. Actually,
- 2:52similar skill set, it does make sense. I wish I knew that,
- 2:55so maybe you will have some knowledge. Dan. Welcome, welcome back
- 2:59to the podcast. It's so good to have you on the show. As
- 3:00always, I am super stoked to be here. Uh you know, I
- 3:06put in my application a long time ago, but yes, yes, absolutely.
- 3:12You hit me up a few months ago being like, yep, if
- 3:15if you do a Survivor episode, I've got to be on it, and
- 3:16yep, now it's happening. This is it, this is the Survivor episode.
- 3:20I'm stoked, man, So I take it because of that huge fan
- 3:23have You've been watching since the very starts, So I am what I didn't
- 3:29realize was like a pretty common thing until the last couple of seasons of the
- 3:32show. I am a COVID fan. So basically, if you had asked
- 3:39me, like I guess three years ago, I would have had a similar
- 3:45answer to you. Guys. I would have said, I maybe watched one
- 3:46or two in passing, but like that was it. I knew nothing about
- 3:50it and then during COVID, I binge watched forty seasons. Yeah, this
- 3:57looks like if you could have picked something for COVID, there was a long
- 4:00time lockdown. Let's go. There's a lot of it, so we're just
- 4:04going for quantity. It's the show. Yes, perfect time to commit.
- 4:11My heart just started racing, which is a crazy I don't think that's ever
- 4:14happened. I have a drink that flabberg assid me. It's actually a lot
- 4:21more common than you might realize. Like in the reason I said the last
- 4:26couple of seasons, because there are contestants that have been on the show in
- 4:29the last couple of seasons who just like me, were like, yeah,
- 4:31I'd never watched the show, but during but I binged it and like became
- 4:35a big band. So damn all right, So I'm gonna see Dan on
- 4:38Survivor soon. Was what that means? That's for me right here, the
- 4:45fan the fan companion game show. That's very unofficial, fantastic. Well that's
- 4:51a that's a good team we've got there. But let's find out Ultra who
- 4:55is joining you. She is a friend, a Survivor fan, and I
- 4:58cannot believe the this is her first time on gate Leapers. It is Taylor
- 5:01of our friend Taylor, Welcome to the podcast. Thank you. I similar
- 5:10to Dan. It was hard to bite my tongue, so I just muted
- 5:13myself and expressed myself in reactions on zoom. But I'm very happy to be
- 5:18here, So happy to have you here, Like Ultra said, Yeah,
- 5:21I can't believe this is your first time on the podcast, but so happy
- 5:25to have you yea, thank you. I feel severely underqualified to be here.
- 5:29But you know who did the table is all we're asking for? These
- 5:31dates? Fantastic. I'm so. I guess I'll ask the same question as
- 5:40I asked Dan. A fan of the franchise, longtime fan, short time
- 5:43fan, COVID fan similar to Dan Covid technically, but really it was not
- 5:48until halfway through Covid I had my daughter. And I had my daughter.
- 5:55I mean, I pushed a child outside of my vagina and cover and had
- 6:00a newborn. So I watched twenty seasons in three months of Survivors. Wow.
- 6:08Again, you call that fan of some sort, and potentially it's it's
- 6:16freezy. Yeah. Fans is short for fanatical, so I think it's just
- 6:21appropriate I think it's fine. You know, it really got me through some
- 6:26of the dark knights of the soul. Sure. Yeah. And is there
- 6:30any chance that your daughter has kind of absorbed by osmosis some of the Survivor
- 6:34skills such a young age. Yeah, and she I think she thinks that
- 6:40Jeff Probst is her grandfather, honestly on an upgrade, so wonderful. Yeah,
- 6:49this is fantastic, Taylor. You're gonna be great on this show.
- 6:54And just as the producers of Survivor would do, I need to point out
- 6:58I've divided you by gender to create a sort of men versus women Battle of
- 7:02the Sexes, because that's the sort of thing that would happen. So this
- 7:04is if you want to think of it as Gates Leapers Colon, Survivor Colon,
- 7:09Battle of the Sexes colon. But sex and gender are two different things,
- 7:12and we know that that's that's new modern like woke Jeff Props. Yes,
- 7:19he wouldn't dare, No, it is. It's Jeff Pro's post twenty
- 7:26twenty yea. Yeah, since since the comeback. Yeah, okay, teams,
- 7:31you've all been helicoptered into a remote tropical location. But now you'll have
- 7:35to make your first leap of faith as you parachute down to the quiz below.
- 7:40It's actually not that intense. I just need each pad to come up
- 7:43with the Survivor themed team name. Please. Let's start with Jason and Dan.
- 7:46Yes, so Dan make up bad names. Usually it's like a long
- 7:51list that's like, oh, Jason thought about this, Yeah, Jason doesn't
- 7:54know much about this, Okay, so I'm very interesting. I've got two
- 7:58names. I've got two names. I've got We've the Immunity idols like idols,
- 8:01yeah, like the K pop thing, right, and then we've got
- 8:05David x Golife like like a slash fiction. Who's who you get to decide?
- 8:11Okay? Yeah I already know. Yeah, all right, I like
- 8:13those. I like those you got. That's like, let's just get to
- 8:18it. Yeah, that's gonna have the bat rens I have. I have
- 8:22two options. One might be more can you know, might work better,
- 8:28uh for for podcasting, depending on how much, uh you know, how
- 8:33many f bombs you want dropped on your show. You can have many,
- 8:37that's okay, so enough to where it could potentially be in the name of
- 8:41our team. Yes, because I can I can as a risk on the
- 8:45main feed, I can be set. Yeah, doesn't doesn't affect advertises.
- 8:50My thought was in this place perfect because you are Jason and this involved a
- 8:54Jason, and the show I wanted when I was considering was the fun Sticks.
- 9:01So okay, you're like, I don't know what that means, or
- 9:03maybe you do know what that means. Okay, So it's one of the
- 9:07greatest moments in Survivor history. Dude named Jason finds what he believes to be
- 9:11an immunity idol that was linked by another player. It is literally just a
- 9:16stick with a very rudimentary face carved into it. He then holds onto that,
- 9:24and then there's another player named Eliza, who is a queen. She's
- 9:28fantastic. She he goes to her, she's gonna get voted out. He
- 9:31goes, don't worry, Eliza, I got your back. I'm gonna play
- 9:35it for you. Yeah yeah, yeah. She's like, that's so great.
- 9:39She's like showing me, show me, and he shows her, and
- 9:41her face just fucking drops. She goes, Jason, that's not an idol,
- 9:48that's a fucking stick. Fantastic, I mean that come that has to
- 9:52be also I don't know who this Jason guy is, but that's something if
- 9:56you guys know me in real life, that's that's a mean, it's very
- 10:00Jason to do. Be fair like these The idol was found at the end
- 10:05of like a set of clues and stuff, like, he found it where
- 10:07it should have been, just someone had already gotten there before him and taken
- 10:11the real idol. So you know, he got a series of circumstances that
- 10:16was exactly cushion a belief, exactly you he had reason to believe. Yeah,
- 10:22but the fucking sticks throw away nature of it. I would have loved
- 10:26it if he like hadn't told her up like up first and like during the
- 10:28ritual where it's dark and there's fire or whatever happens. Yeah, I got
- 10:35shit, super fun. This is not an idol. She's just like,
- 10:41what fuck is this? It's so kind of sitting too when he says this
- 10:46is not an idol and it does all the noble and you're like, alright,
- 10:50alright, alright, what's it gonna be? And then he throws it
- 10:52in the fucking fire. That's the best. Yeah, but he spent still
- 10:58on coughing that well, So okay, I don't want a derail here.
- 11:03But he throws it in the fire. I don't believe it stays in the
- 11:05fire, because the fucking Stick ended up coming back in Island of the Idol
- 11:11season where they brought back all of these idols from previous seasons and it was
- 11:16empowered with real idol power. The second coming exactly, so fantastic. Well,
- 11:24I can't think of a more perfect name than the fucking Sticks. Yes,
- 11:28your same name, So let's find out who the fucking Sticks will be
- 11:33facing. Audre Taylor. I have one name that we definitely cannot use,
- 11:37but I'm gonna say it anyway because I thought it was funny. So if
- 11:43they are not called this, then the female fans of the show could be
- 11:48called the survive Horse. Well, I can put the idol. That's that's
- 11:52worse than fuck I think, I think so, But I thought it was
- 11:58catchy. When I was thinking what are my team names? I thought of
- 12:03that one. I also thought of the survive Hers. That's got less Spy.
- 12:13What do you think take? I love Survi? What was that?
- 12:18Survivors? Yes? I love that. So Traditionally, the tribes on Survivor
- 12:26are all like tribal names so trying to think tribal hole names, and there's
- 12:31just I don't know, nothing inspiring came. The only thing I thought of
- 12:37was tiki mamas, and I don't I would also boy that somehow worse than
- 12:43survivals and definitely far worse than survive hers. But in category I also tying
- 12:54back to Jeff Ropes being my daughter's grandfather. Probes to feed my daddy is
- 13:03It's a long one. It probably won't fit in the title. It resonates
- 13:09with me deeply. I would love if he was my daddy in one way
- 13:13or another. I'd love to put Probes in the title because then if he's
- 13:18a vanity searching himself, he might listen to this so shout. So we
- 13:24thinking maybe that Probes through my daddy. I'm down for that. The only
- 13:30thing that inspires me is for the other one is the word play. And
- 13:33I think a deep, deep spiritual connection to the name is really what's gonna
- 13:39bring the victory home for us. I mean, I feel really connected to
- 13:45both because am I survive horror? Yeah? I also like when Arga was
- 13:50saying that story, she goes, I don't know if it's the name of
- 13:54it, so she could have just made this up. It's just like I've
- 13:58been on fandom internet faces and like the cumber the female cumber Batch fans call
- 14:03themselves cumber bitches. Yeah, and but I know that, like it's twenty
- 14:07twenty three, we gotta cut this shit out. But also this is hilarious.
- 14:11But also wait till twenty twenty four? What about survive holes brackets?
- 14:20This team name was written by a woman. I can sign off on it
- 14:24as a woman. I can sign off on that. Do I have permission
- 14:28to say survive holes when I address you as a team throughout this recording?
- 14:33Yeah? Okay, okay, And I think it's decided. Do you have
- 14:37to be female to be a survive horror because I feel like I could be.
- 14:41This is the thing. I think you're addressing a good point here,
- 14:45Like honestly, gender's fluid. You can be whatever you want to be.
- 14:48Yeah, I think you're all survive holes or will be by the end of
- 14:52this recording. Actually I don't. I don't know if you three can.
- 14:56But Dan, you can be a surviv horror because you actually our horror for
- 15:01Survivor Tree, I am yes, yeah, I mean when you said probs
- 15:05be my daddy. I was like also that I'm down with that too,
- 15:09So okay, so we have the fucking sticks versus the survive whores. It's
- 15:16an explicit episode. Did you expect this not from Survivor, I'll be honest,
- 15:24from the network. Wehl a TV show. Okay, all right?
- 15:28And if you're listening to this and thinking, well, you've said a lot
- 15:31of words that sound like references to Survivor, but I'm a whole forty four
- 15:35seasons behind, don't worry. His auldro with a little segment we like to
- 15:39call passing Knowledge. Survivor is a competition reality TV show franchise that premiered in
- 15:46the USA way back in May of two thousand, post y two k but
- 15:52pre nine to eleven, or as I call it, the Goldilocks Zone,
- 15:56thirty nine days, sixteen people one. The format real Quick, The show
- 16:03places a group of castaways in a remote location where they must provide food and
- 16:08shelter, compete in challenges, and try to earn immunity from elimination. Contestants
- 16:14are progressively voted off one by one until the sole survivor and eventual winner remains.
- 16:22Oh, and it's all based on a Swedish show with basically the same
- 16:26format, except in that one they're stranded in an Ikea. I feel we
- 16:30all it to the island's spirits that we have learned to come to now,
- 16:34to let it be in the end the way Mother Nature intended it to be
- 16:38for the snake to eat through app Survivor has been on the air for forty
- 16:42four seasons at the time of recording, so if you're listening to this in
- 16:47the future, you can probably enjoy season one hundred and twenty six of Survivor,
- 16:52filmed in the tropical Arctic. For you, guys, you generously gave
- 16:56up a chance to spend time with your loved ones so that John could get
- 17:00a little more information about his grandma. My grandmother's sitting home watching Jerry Springer
- 17:04right now. It's hosted by Jeff Probst, a man whose skin is so
- 17:11tough and leathery you would think he'd spent six weeks of the past twenty five
- 17:15years in hot climates or something. If anybody has a hidden immunity adele and
- 17:19you want to play it, now would be the time to do so.
- 17:22But at its core, Survivor is about the stories the players and the drama.
- 17:27So let's leap into the Survivor fandom to outwit out play out last,
- 17:33and I'm getting out of this bit now. I'm out, Thank you,
- 17:37Wardre. So just before we get to today's games, I've asked each player
- 17:41to bring in a muse that's something that inspires them or something they love from
- 17:47this particular fandom. Surviva is inspiring to me because now I know how to
- 17:51start a fire from scratch. And if I can just get that knock Smokey
- 17:55the bell off, my god, damn ass, we can really start having
- 17:57some fun around here in this dry, dry stakes. Jason, We'll start
- 18:02with you. Sorry about that, Jason. Will We'll start with you.
- 18:03What's inspiring you from the world of Survivor. What's inspiring me is it was
- 18:08a tradition in early gate leapers that I had like a connection to everything,
- 18:14like I always knew someone from the property. Stanley. Yeah, I had
- 18:18dinner. And the nice thing is for this one. I grew up with
- 18:25one of the contestants of a Survivor season thirty seven. Uh, David versus
- 18:30Goliath, my aunt. Yeah, the win is on that show, which
- 18:36is kind of fucking crazy. It is well, yeah, yeah, I
- 18:42say it is. Yeah, I just signed an NDA because there was at
- 18:47some point I don't know if this is breaking the NBA. I don't get
- 18:49fine, it's so long, but there's I guess a survivor. I guess
- 18:55I wouldn't know because we didn't get this far. Yes, but at some
- 18:59point you to see friends and family that you choose, and I was like
- 19:03on the list, I was like number two. So I designed an NBA
- 19:04to be like, Hey, if you're gonna be on the show, don't
- 19:08fucking talk about it. But she didn't make it that far. I'd like
- 19:12to see if I can call her. She could be just to prove it.
- 19:18What's her response going to be? Space is this is a weird space.
- 19:23Let's see if she picks up. That'd be funny if she didn't pick
- 19:26up either either way, this this is good. Hi. How are you?
- 19:33Hi? I'm good? How are you? I'm good? You're on
- 19:36speaker and being recorded. Could you just say hi? This is one of
- 19:40those podcasts, podcasts, it's the thing they do, just say hi.
- 19:42This is how he communicates. It's family about us. Okay, Hi,
- 19:45Hi, if you want, you don't have to What was your favorite thing
- 19:48about being on Survivor. Well, yeah, podcast, No, we don't
- 19:55do that. It's a different one. Talk about fandoms and this one Survivor
- 20:02and you were on that show if you dream. Yeah, absolutely, we
- 20:08probably have to keep her recording. But I love you and I'll talk to
- 20:11you later. Give on, Okay, I mean I want to plan that,
- 20:23like did you talk? Yes, I planned that, but she didn't
- 20:27know anything about evidently, I reckon. Yeah. I didn't ask you to
- 20:32call her, and we also didn't ask you to hang up on her.
- 20:37I was getting ready to ask you some questions. Oh really, you know
- 20:41she used to lock me in the bathroom when I was a kid, So
- 20:42I don't feel bad. Okay, okay, that might get cut. Amazing,
- 20:49So your en is your muse and that she was, and she was
- 20:55wait what position did you finish in? Uh? She was out? She
- 20:59was like the second personel Yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw her.
- 21:02I know who she is on that season and she got out because I can't
- 21:07remember what her job is, but she got an injury that would put her
- 21:11job very much at risk and she needed to leave, like she yeah,
- 21:15yeah, yeah, to be exact, she wasn't she is was an an
- 21:19m A fighter. Uh and she had tore her a C or MCO.
- 21:23That being so to amaze. You can say this because your family. Yeah,
- 21:32you were her number two for calling home, so I mean she wasn't
- 21:37tight with the number one is a one time at Christmas we were like wrestling
- 21:41and like fighting and I gade her in the face and I've never let her
- 21:44down, Like, yeah, dude, she's like full, She's like five
- 21:48for nothing. I could fucking crush her. You talk, yeah, train
- 21:52Oh we're also birthday twins. It's like a fun fact. Anyways, Okay,
- 21:56we'll move on. But that's a fantastic news, Jason. It's a
- 21:59good connection to the survive A fandom. But let's talk to an actual Survivor
- 22:02fan, now, Dan, what is inspiring you from the world of Surviva?
- 22:06Okay, so I didn't have family on Survivor is amazing, and I'm
- 22:14also a little like confused. You said you've watched two episodes of the show.
- 22:18You didn't even watch your aunt's season. Yeah, yeah, for two
- 22:22episodes? Was for two episodes? Yea? I watched those two episodes with
- 22:26Jason. All right, fair enough, I do have a cousin though,
- 22:33and she is, she's a massive fan. She's been watching since, you
- 22:37know, since the beginning twenty three friggain years ago, and she has tried
- 22:42out for the show a couple of times. Uh she's never gotten through.
- 22:48But in the last like I don't know, probably ten years or so,
- 22:52a big thing has started happening where people are just doing them in like different
- 22:57local areas just for fun, okay, And so in the state of Maine
- 23:03there's there's actually been a couple of different ones there, but she was on
- 23:07one called Surviving Maine. It's like a four day version, you know,
- 23:11it's like kind of yeah, but yeah, it's very cool, and she
- 23:15finished like fourth out of twenty, which was pretty solid. They recorded it
- 23:19all, they edited it, they posted it to YouTube, and they did
- 23:22like the thing on YouTube where you can like release like uh, you know,
- 23:26like on a schedule. And so that was actually my first experience with
- 23:32Survivor was watching Surviving Maine, you know, the season that my cousin was
- 23:37on. And then once I had consumed all that, I was like,
- 23:40this is this is great. I need more of this. And so that's
- 23:42what got me in the door. So I have to my cousin Rebecca.
- 23:48I have to give respect to her for getting me into it, and I'm
- 23:52hopeful that her dream of being on the real, the real show someday will
- 23:56happen for and then we can call her and hang up on her. Trying
- 24:00to run that a little smoother, Jason, but a little heads up.
- 24:07It's fantastic, more family connections. I also hope that she ends up on
- 24:12Actual Survivor. It seems like there'll be another forty four season, so fingers
- 24:17crossed. That's right. As long as Jeff Probes can get rolled out there,
- 24:19they'll keep it going. Yes, and even then, Ai is making
- 24:23amazing advances. He never know. It looks a little ai ish, so
- 24:26yeah, oh he's gorgeous. He's too late for the team name change or
- 24:34yeah, okay, okay, Hey with that, let's let's move on over
- 24:40to you. What's inspiring you from the world of Survivor. I love Survivor
- 24:45for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that it feels like
- 24:48just real life brought onto a game show. So it's not as heavy as
- 24:55real life, but it still show cases real life. So there's a character
- 24:59named Seek, and by character, I mean a real person who played on
- 25:03the show, and he is a really good player. I think that when
- 25:08he plays, I feel the most similar probably to Seek. He like knows
- 25:12how to charismatically build relationship with people and is definitely thinking very strategically. But
- 25:19he thought too strategically got out of the game too quickly, he was too
- 25:23big of a threat. Came back another season and continue to play a fantastic
- 25:29game. Zeke is a transgender man and was outed at a tribal council as
- 25:36transgender. Whoa, whoa, Yeah it was yeah. So I do want
- 25:41to clarify real quickly that zek. CBS asked Zeek if they could air the
- 25:48actual and gave him the decision to do that, and he chose to do
- 25:52it, which I think was totally his call to say no, And I
- 25:56was in such a vulnerable position I would have said no, but he chose
- 26:00to air it, and I think that was a kindness to the viewers,
- 26:06and the person who outed him quickly realized what he did and regretted it.
- 26:11And I think it was such a vulnerable expression of the human experience where this
- 26:18man who outed him he lost. I mean, he got voted out that
- 26:21season spoiler, but or he got voted out that episode as he should have.
- 26:26He was on his way out. Anyways, it was his last ditch
- 26:29effort. But anyways, Zeke. You see on camera Zeke dealing with I've
- 26:34just been outed in front of not only this group, but national television,
- 26:38and you see all of the people's responses. There are some people who grew
- 26:42up in the Midwest who are more conservative, maybe haven't been exposed to transgender
- 26:48people that they were aware of, and it caused a lot of kind of
- 26:52social reckonings for them. In a I think it was a very generous action
- 27:00from Zeke allowing us as viewers to see it, and then the characters to
- 27:06kind of express I love Zeke, and maybe before this, if I had
- 27:10known he was transgender, I wouldn't allow myself to love him. So yeah,
- 27:14anyways, I thought that that that's kind of touches on the heart of
- 27:18I love Survivor because it's interesting and I love the strategy of everything, but
- 27:22I also love that it speaks to the human experience and that we can see
- 27:26human experience expressed in the TV show and just the generosity of Zeke to share
- 27:32that with us. Yeah, because That's huge because Zeke could have easily have
- 27:36said, like, actually, that was a really vulnerable moment and I don't
- 27:38want that that but this the potential to change pots and minds with that moment,
- 27:42and so it's the dilemma that landed on the positive side of So yeah,
- 27:48that's the fantastic mus I didn't know about that. I thought I've read
- 27:51lots of things about Surviva, but I didn't read that. That's a pretty
- 27:53just to z. His story does not end there. He continues to play
- 27:57a very great game and you have to watch his season to see all of
- 28:00it. I'm not gonna spoil it. S Yes, lovely stuff. A
- 28:06fantastic mus These are these are great muses. These are well thought out,
- 28:11really well sort of connected on an emotional deep level with with a lot of
- 28:15these muses. Ultra, what what's inspiring you from survival? The train continue?
- 28:19No, it doesn't. That was a setup. You knew, my
- 28:26muse, How did you betray me? My mus is also from Jason's Aunts.
- 28:33Oh uh, it's Johnny Survivor Johnny Morrison, John Morrison. He is
- 28:41a professional wrestler, whatever company he's working for. That is his last name.
- 28:45When he's working in that company. When he's outside of the company's John
- 28:48Morrison. When he's in all Elite, he's Johnny Elite, like this type
- 28:52of thing. So that's why I call him Johnny Survivor, a renaissance man
- 28:57of companies. He was on the gal Bis team. He's just a great
- 29:03hateable guy. Yeah, a good herl. Yeah, he's just healing it
- 29:07up. He's very good at playing that character. He played it so well.
- 29:12Yeah, and with pro wrestlers like sometimes like the line is a little
- 29:18they know what they're doing, but sometimes if you don't know pro wrestling,
- 29:21that line gets blurred so fast. So it doesn't surprise me that she didn't
- 29:26like him, because he is very adept at being unlikable for entertainment purposes and
- 29:33was a villain in an Airbut movie. They go little little culture trivia for
- 29:38you that you Americans you love your basketballing dogs. Yeah, yeah, we
- 29:44do. Inspiration. I grew up an AIRBA now Survivor. I mean,
- 29:48this man might be my new all of life muse. I'll send you some
- 29:53gifts later. Could we say this, Could we say what you said the
- 29:59first time you saw him wrestling? Oh a Clydesdale. Yeah, who is
- 30:02that Clydesdale? Because he was fur on the bottom of his pants. It's
- 30:06like a flare pant and it's like furry and his pants are high waisted,
- 30:10and so he looks like he is incredible. He's already six foot, so
- 30:12he's like six foot tall. Legs like a mile long, and then they're
- 30:18furry at the bottom, apps like a centaur as well as this man is
- 30:22a Clydesdale. I mean, of all the comparisons you could have made,
- 30:29safe, yeah, safe, yeah, props. Okay, well, it
- 30:33feels like we're all suitably inspired. Should we should get some silliness? Now?
- 30:37Should we get some games? Yeah? Right, seams, gather at
- 30:41your gia as we need to take a ten mile hike. It's actually only
- 30:45one mile, but we've inflated the numbers for entertainment purposes into round one.
- 30:53Round one is called IMDb trivia, which today stands for Idols Made Disastrous,
- 31:00Sleep backfire, Nice, thank you, thank you. You actually got the
- 31:04letters this time. Yeah. We're keeping it light and kicking things off with
- 31:10some classic trivia. I have here a game board, game board. Gotta
- 31:14put it this wor otherwise it looks a bit like crudely drawn labia. Okay,
- 31:19subway sandwich in the middle. It's meant to be kind of like the
- 31:23Survivor logo with words written in it kind of thing. So I have here
- 31:29a game board with six words. Each word corresponds to a tough but multiple
- 31:33choice style question about the production of Survivor. Get it right and you get
- 31:37a point. And then finally, after all six questions, our teams will
- 31:41go head to head for one mystery question hidden at the center of this very
- 31:45expensive Survivor logo and graphic I've had made don't give me away patrons the subway
- 31:51sandwich. But that's later. So we'll start with the questions and we will
- 31:56begin with the fucking sticks. So, Dan, we've got fine conch evacuation,
- 32:04worst strike van Van Okay, Yeah, so what we just pick a
- 32:14word and then you will just pick a word. You get a question that's
- 32:16kind of linked to that word. Yeah, all right, Jason, you
- 32:20you pick a word. I love conch man, the almighty conch. You
- 32:24know, the almighty conch. You go with the conch. Yeah, let's
- 32:28say you go with that. Dan, Okay, here's your question about Concho
- 32:30conk. Is it concho conk? SpongeBob calls it a conch shell, So
- 32:37yeah, let's say we've got to listen to SpongeBob, So let's go with
- 32:40gunch. Concerning the tribal council, why did the hold to talk conch shell
- 32:45disappear after the first few episodes of Survivor Is it a It was seen as
- 32:52appropriating the local populations long held traditions. B One contestant sliced open the palm
- 32:58of their hand on the conch or see no one would pass the conch to
- 33:02host Jeff, and he was getting annoyance that he couldn't get a wood during
- 33:07filming. Now, so early days, I don't think network television is going
- 33:13to be like, oh, we're appropriating this island hard in the cultural appropriation
- 33:17like hard, Yeah, that's not the reason. Yeah, yeah, I
- 33:22could see that, you know, in later seasons or something like that,
- 33:24But yeah, no, they're they don't give a flying fuck. So it's
- 33:29got to be one. I could see the other two being true conscious conks,
- 33:34pretty big, big old suckers, spidy suckers. What do you think,
- 33:37Dan, Yeah, I mean I leaned toward the second one just because
- 33:42like knowing the show and knowing like how vulnerable all the people are, and
- 33:45like how they want to try to keep them as healthy as possible. They
- 33:49wouldn't want to introduce any other factors that were not entertainment value to endanger them.
- 33:54So that's the one I'd lean toward. Yeah, yeah, let's go
- 33:59with that. So be one contestant slice people. Yeah, as you're going
- 34:07with B it's actually is c J. Jeff said in an interview that they
- 34:13dropped it because he never got to talk and he felt like it was crucial
- 34:15for him to move along the narrative of the of the Council. Yeah,
- 34:20they dropped it. So not a thing of like I'm not being featured here.
- 34:22It's like we I actually am a host of the show that acquire as
- 34:27a host maybe a little bit of farmer. How dare you okay? Survive?
- 34:34Okay, you can say survive hers if you feel okay. We both
- 34:40went opposite direction. I love that. Do you have any inkling towards any
- 34:46of them? Just not Vanuatu? Gotcha? Strike, Let's do it.
- 34:53You're going with strike. Here's your question about Strike, and it's a topical
- 35:00one. How long did the Motion Picture Editors Guild have to strike for in
- 35:04twenty fourteen in order to unionize the editors working on Survivor a a day,
- 35:10be a week, or see a month. I really thought strike would be
- 35:15more about like a fire channeling. My go to when multiple choice and numbers
- 35:29are involved as always to pick the center number, the middle. So I
- 35:34would go middle. If this was just an act exam or one of those.
- 35:39Ye kind of like one of those. Yeah it will. It will
- 35:45figure out the rest of our future. So let's go a middle. Yeah.
- 35:47Yeah, you're going with a week that the strike lasted a week.
- 35:52It didn't, it lasted a day. Who So I put that into point
- 35:55how quick. If it's reality TV that pulls in lots of viewers AGULLI and
- 36:00has high sponsorship things, they'll end that strike and pay that money very fast.
- 36:04But they will not if it's creatives. Here we go. Also,
- 36:07what'd you get on your act score? The hell if I know? And
- 36:12the hell if I would share it with you, Jake, And one of
- 36:16those was wrong, I do know. So if if your egos recovered,
- 36:24Jason, would you like to pick up the wood? Yeah? Yeah?
- 36:28And Taylor didn't want Vanuatu. Do you know a lot about Vanuatu? Is
- 36:30that a person who is a place? Tribe? It's a tribe? Great?
- 36:35Uh? I mean are you feeling well? Let's just clear it off
- 36:37the board man. Yeah, I respect it. You're gonna kill it,
- 36:42Dan, I believe in you see what they say in Survival right? Yeah,
- 36:46sure, you're gonna kill it. Dan. Here's your question about Vanawatu?
- 36:53What was odd about the filming of season nine Vanawati? I look at
- 36:58that, it's a place, not a That's how much we're gonna kill it?
- 37:04Is it a Jeff Probs was sick for most of the filming, and
- 37:07many of many of his shots were filmed after the game had finished and the
- 37:12contestants had gone home. B The set was only a ten minute drive from
- 37:15the capital city, Port Villa, and about two hundred meters away from the
- 37:20main highway. Or see, they weren't actually in Vanuatu. They had to
- 37:23move to the nearby Solomon Islands a week into filming, but the arrival on
- 37:28Vanuatu had already been filmed, with no time for reshoots. Oh wow,
- 37:32so detailed these questions, you, son of a bitch. I had to
- 37:37because the answer was detailed, so I had to make the fake onesiled,
- 37:40all right, So fuck the Jeff Probs one. That's out. Yeah,
- 37:45I knew that. I knew that. I knew that, all right.
- 37:49So is it is it get the hell out of here? Is it?
- 37:52Okay? So I know there is a season where they have a bunch of
- 37:58like reward challenges that Jeff is not there for. They just get like a
- 38:05box and it's like, here's the thing to do, and then they film
- 38:08it without Jeff. Uh. They're that same season where that happened. They
- 38:14also did the merge without Jeff there. I don't know if it was Vanawattu
- 38:17though I can't remember. There was also a season where some sort of civil
- 38:24unrest resulted in them having to make changes to location. I again don't know
- 38:30if it was Vanawattu. So I'd say it's one of those Jason all right.
- 38:35So it's not that it was like a quarter of miles away next to
- 38:37a resort or whatever Matt said, or maybe it is oh god damn direction.
- 38:45Well, if you were taking the set, you'd be getting like a
- 38:46five yeah or a one hund whatever these t score is. Yeah, it's
- 38:52out of thirty eight, thirty eight, I can't never remember you know,
- 39:00I'm gonna take a stab. I'm gonna take a stab. Do it?
- 39:04Can I call B? You're saying BA, I'm gonna call C. You
- 39:12wanna say you wanta say? They weren't actually in Vanawati? Yeah? Or
- 39:15no? Is that the one where they moved? Yeah? Yeah to the
- 39:19Solomon Islands? Yeah? No, it is actually bad. Set was only
- 39:25a ten minute drive from the capital city. And you want don't listen to
- 39:29me. Clearly you are the survivor genius here, Jason, not me.
- 39:37You have leaned toward the right answer twice, and I have directed you away
- 39:40from it both times. Okay, let's move back on over to the survive
- 39:45sex workers. Your remaining words are fine, evacuation and worst. Okay,
- 39:53so adre we evacuation. I would maybe know if I think I know what
- 40:00Matt's strategy is around these titles, which I was correct on Vanitu and it
- 40:06is good we did not select that one. But also I'm feeling fine.
- 40:09So if finary evacuation you decide between the two, you know, I'm going
- 40:15to trust the I was going to say the universe that you're thinking of what
- 40:19evacuation is about. Okay, Okay, I can do it, okay.
- 40:25But but if it's not that, that's the universe's fault, that's not you,
- 40:30that's mate. Okay at Yeah, that's fine that I'm going to receive
- 40:34that, not just for this but my whole life. Anything goes wrong,
- 40:38it's Matt or the universe's fault, whichever is more replicable for the situation.
- 40:43That's very fair, Okay. Evacuation is what you're going with. Yes,
- 40:46yes, yes. Why did some of the crew have to evacuate during the
- 40:51filming of season fourteen in Fiji? Oh? Is it? A? Wildfires
- 40:55spread across the main islands, so they moved to one of the smaller islands.
- 41:00Is it be? Meteorologists swarned of a zounami heading towards the islands,
- 41:05but it subsided before making land. Or see Akuta tax was started by Fiji's
- 41:10military leader with fear of US hostages being taken. I didn't watch the first
- 41:15like I've only seen seasons twenty in on, but I know that later on
- 41:22and Survivor they evacuate all of the crew because of whether or not crew,
- 41:29all of the cast because weather and they had never had to do that before,
- 41:31So it can't be the weather one because they would not they would not
- 41:36take the crew out and leave the cass there. Also imagine that it's real
- 41:44now, guys. Dan said that there was some civil unrest. I said
- 41:50nothing of the sort. I was wondering if this would come out of context
- 41:54clues, maybe it would be that one. M I don't think I should
- 42:00go with the weather option because they take the cast out of it was actually
- 42:04a weather danger. Let's go with the coup. You're going with the coup.
- 42:07It is the coup. It is sorry, sorry, real good.
- 42:15I feel it's really bad that I sort of gave some information away, but
- 42:21also really good that, like I wasn't just BULLSHITTINGE. No, yeah,
- 42:24you had the knowledge. Yeah, knowledge is validated. Okay, there are
- 42:31two words left, So what will be your final words? So we have
- 42:35two spectrums that feeling here fine, I know, I'm glad those two have
- 42:39ended up as the last two two furthest ends of the spectrum, worst and
- 42:45fine point so far Jason, So I'm feeling like the worst all right,
- 42:51Yeah, yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. Going with the
- 42:52worst, which is the worst season of survivor. It's free, not free,
- 42:58that might come up lasa, okay, worst it was decided that season
- 43:02four would be moved from Jordan to the Marquisas Islands in light of the September
- 43:07eleventh attacks. But why did the crew say the Marquisus Islands are still the
- 43:12worst filming location of all time? Is it a due to a lack of
- 43:16time to prepare The crew had to prioritize packing equipment over their usual personal items
- 43:22and essentials. B the presence of bugs called no No flies which would bite
- 43:27through throughout the filming or see only French branded foods were made available on the
- 43:31islands, and quote, you think you can eat package croissants every day of
- 43:36your life, but after day twelve you just have a stomachache and hate the
- 43:38French. I like to think that package croissants like coming a tin can and
- 43:45we open it, it's like sweep like a snake. It's not that one.
- 43:51It's not that one. Now that one you're ruling now on out.
- 43:52That's just a bit too silly. That's the thing. Now, the way
- 43:57you said no no flies, don't rule out no no fly because Matt put
- 44:00a Matt put an invitation on that. Yeah, okay, yeah, Jason,
- 44:07I'm not even going to talk on this one because every single time,
- 44:13alright, and my knowledge has been used against me. So all right,
- 44:19So I'll take the lead as the survivor expert and kept in here. We're
- 44:22gonna go with the no no no flies because I just think I just think
- 44:25the way Matt said that was to throw us off, and I just don't
- 44:29believe the package French food exists. I think, Okay, it's fresh joys.
- 44:36There's nothing you're going with no no flies. You're going with B.
- 44:39I'm going with no no flies. It is b. It is flies.
- 44:43I shouldn't have said it that way, all right, way to read the
- 44:45host man, Yeah, back in, Yeah, gave me the game.
- 44:49This is how I survive. So I was going to say it's definitely not
- 44:53be because they would have talked about it on the show if there were there
- 44:57was a problem with insects. Yes, apparently what we need to do is
- 45:01just go against literally every instinct that I have and then welcome to the show,
- 45:07man, Welcome to the show. Okay, there is one final word
- 45:12on the board. It is fine. It's fine. I feel good about
- 45:15fine. Yeah, amazing. Let's do it. Let's go with fine.
- 45:17Here it is on Survivor the Australian Outback, one contestant was fined one hundred
- 45:23and ten thousand dollars for breaching which local law is it? A removing coral
- 45:30from the Great Barrier reef while snorkeling, b erecting a makeshift shelter on protected
- 45:37aboriginal land or see aggressively squaring off with a kangaroo. Let me finish,
- 45:45Let me finish after bare knuckle boxing with the animal was outlawed in nineteen eighty
- 45:51nine. Did you really know it was going to be kangaries? Yeah,
- 45:54I was gonna make a joke, but for having sex with a kangaroo.
- 46:00Sex with a kangaroo, that's what that was my joke. Also, if
- 46:01you're on a show called Survivor, bold of you to just fight a kangaroo,
- 46:07not exactly surviving. Yeah, your your goal is to survive, not
- 46:10fight animals in the local area. I'd approve your dominance. So I've not
- 46:15seen this season, but should by the way, it's a great season.
- 46:22Okay, So you definitely know the answer, the answer and you can shat
- 46:27it to me on the side I don't. It's just a good season,
- 46:30that's all. Oh, this is this is Survivor, isn't it? Okay?
- 46:37They're gonna outst I Andre, do you have a gut feeling? I
- 46:43don't know why. I maybe it's because we talked about it so much,
- 46:45but I just the kangaroo. I feel like they would have a logast fighting
- 46:51a kangaroo. But also the other two are very I think the reason why
- 46:55I'm like, maybe that one is because that's a fucking wild law and the
- 47:00other two are such reasonable laws. Yeah, that's that might be why it
- 47:06sticks out in my mind. And I see that, and I hear that,
- 47:10and I want to validate that before suggesting a different thing. And I
- 47:20don't want to be wrong and say you're wrong, but I think you're wrong.
- 47:27And that was a very kind way in which you said that is your
- 47:30role. I think I think it would be a because that's a very realistic
- 47:36law. And the shocking fact that would cause Matt to put it as a
- 47:39question is one hundred and ten thousand dollars. Fine when they're like they did
- 47:44it and you're like, okay, I'm gonna take forty days off of work
- 47:47and I'm gonna pay one hundred and ten thousand dollars. B is not a
- 47:54I can't even remember what B was, but I knew it wasn't it.
- 47:58But then see, so I hope I'm right on that. And then see
- 48:02I feel like I would have seen footage of that, like if they if
- 48:06he fought kangaroo or if they fought a kangaroo. I'm on Survivor TikTok,
- 48:10I'm on all of the Survivors things, and I would have seen it.
- 48:15Also, you think like crew can step in if you're about to fight a
- 48:20kangaroo. Crew can't necessarily step in if they don't realize you took coral.
- 48:25Like that's something that a crew could not necessarily notice at the time. Yeah,
- 48:30and like not really know as a thing, but a kangaroo can fuck
- 48:35you up. Yeah, and so they That's what I was about to say,
- 48:37Would crew subparly would step in if you were about to fight a kangaroo?
- 48:44Feel like the joy on Dan's face indicates that it's kangaroo. Don't read
- 48:51I have no clue, I promise, or is he playing fucking games with
- 48:53that territory? Oh? Man? I mean i'd ask what's your final answer.
- 49:01But am I also playing games by asking that I don't know anymore?
- 49:06Well, go with coral and then if we if if Dan's reaction played us,
- 49:12then it is what it is. I will take the fall. You're
- 49:15going with coral. Yes, I've never been more excited to deliver an answer,
- 49:24the correct answer sp to the final question in this game. Is it's
- 49:32coral. It's a silly answers with the other ones. I'm absolutely with Dane.
- 49:42Of course it's fucking coral. But you guys were talking yourself in that.
- 49:46I was like kangaroo, because that's the whole thing of Survivor, is
- 49:52like, you don't play it safe. When you're in Survivor, you don't
- 49:54play it safe. And so I kept thinking that A is the safe option,
- 49:59and see I should go see then, but you know, go big
- 50:02or go home. That's will We went with your gut. We got the
- 50:07correct answer. Yes, fantastic, And that means finally we come down to
- 50:12the central mystery question. Mystery thing in the center of the badly drawn logo.
- 50:15I didn't hear anyone. I did it myself on a market penn okay,
- 50:20so it is a number based question. It's so the closest Stanza will
- 50:23win. And I'm going to say that the fucking sticks can answer first,
- 50:27as they're just a little bit behind. So here's the question. Which district
- 50:30of Kentucky does former Survivor winner Nick Wilson preside as the uncontested representative of a
- 50:37position he uses to strike down gender affirming care in his state, despite the
- 50:40fact he takes mail supplements for his own hairline. So which number does which
- 50:46number state does he represent? Former Survivor winner? He was actually on David
- 50:51Versus Versus Goliath. Yeah, he sounds familiar. What what district of Kentucky?
- 50:55Does he know? How many districts are just hard to say. Let's
- 51:00just throw a number twenty. See you didn't dirty, Matt. You're like,
- 51:05oh, we'll let them go first. But going first in a numbers
- 51:07game is not good. That's you know what, You're absolutely right. I
- 51:13got that backwoods. They didn't have prices right in the UK. So we
- 51:19will we will completely flip it around. I will say no, no,
- 51:22no, we all flipping it around. That's that's the fair way to go.
- 51:24We will say that the survive holes have to answer first, and which
- 51:29district it is Udra, this is all you, baby girl. Fifty?
- 51:35Holy shit? Is that fifty? It's not? Does that? Does that
- 51:44make it better that it's not fifty? Taylor's one of the greatest gate libers
- 51:54debuts ever to go from. I hear you. I want to validate you.
- 52:00I just don't know it's going like no ilyin confidence? What the fuck
- 52:06are you doing? Oh my god? See fifteenth district one five? Yeah,
- 52:12I had one five. I had a pained intonation that muddled my numbering.
- 52:17Okay, one five was the intention? Does that make you more or
- 52:21less comfortable with it? I submit to your leadership, but I'm good to
- 52:24go with that. Okay, fifth fifteenth. By the way, I know
- 52:29this is a nonsense question. I just wanted to say that fact that out
- 52:31at a bigger the fucking stakes. What are you're gonna go with? Are
- 52:38we just gonna go fourteen? Basim? Oh you want to go lower?
- 52:43I don't know. I mean, okay, so like Maine has like three
- 52:45districts, so I have that point of comparison. I don't know it's fair.
- 52:52I've only lived but maybe I've only lived in big states. I don't
- 52:57know. Yeah, most most other states even Like, so I look at
- 53:00county assessor websites from my job a lot, and the average number you'll see
- 53:04is about like thirty ish, and that's not including that's not including like the
- 53:08big states like California and so and so forth, Like they're pretty segmented and
- 53:13so like a pretty round number for a max. Probably like thirty to thirty
- 53:19five is like a max threshold. Okay, So they've kind of hit the
- 53:22media and of fifteen. So it's up to you to go more or less.
- 53:24Now I don't because my only this game has been to trust you.
- 53:30Great, let's go with sixteen and price the prices. Right. I love
- 53:35this because we're either right or I was right, and I'm good with either
- 53:39of those. Yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah. Well, he presides
- 53:44over the and his your local government knowledge for you, just coming coming from
- 53:49the bread. He presides over the eighty second district's representative sometimes upwards of one
- 53:59hundred and fifty oh our districts, the friend in counties. Yes, oh
- 54:02okay, great, I didn't know that. Don't fact check me on the
- 54:07number of districts in Maine to be low population. Stay it might be three,
- 54:12okay, but I should have gone with fifty, I should have gone
- 54:16with the miss hearing and I'm I am sorry for guy being you wrong.
- 54:22No, I intended to say fifteen. So just inspiring stuff there from the
- 54:29Survive Hoors. Okay, women supporting women sometimes they feel like it. Yeah,
- 54:42and that is the end of round one. Let's take our first trip
- 54:45to the tribal council to see if we can agree on the scores. And
- 54:49those scores are it's all tied. The fucking sticks are on two and the
- 54:52Survive Hoors are also on two, So can I disagree with us? I'm
- 54:57happy with the outcome of that because I felt like we really struggled. So
- 55:01yes, I know you can't disagree with the scores, Taylor, And no,
- 55:06no, yeah, I think that's yeah, Dan, that's a good
- 55:07outcome for your team given the situation. Up next is round two, but
- 55:12first a challenge for our listeners listen to ninety seconds of commercials in order to
- 55:15win supplies for the next week go. Round two is a new game called
- 55:25piping Hot takes, Oh fresh out the oven? Better put them on the
- 55:30window to cool down that survivor related mat No, that's that's just me naming
- 55:37I might use Piping Hot Takes again as a game in the future, so
- 55:40you want to add this precedence. Yes, exactly, exactly, but I
- 55:45won't say that again if you don't like it. In this game, I
- 55:47will ask our Survivor fans to answer some extreme opinionated questions, like the best
- 55:52or worst of something. They'll then score one to five points based on how
- 55:57engaged, blown away or just playing interest did their non Survivor watching captains are.
- 56:01And trust me, I know when Ordre and Jason are faking. Also,
- 56:09each question will have because here's the gate Leaper's twist, each question will
- 56:13have a hidden immunity idol answer for two bonus points, and the idol is
- 56:17the most popular answer to the question according to the online breddit fandom. So
- 56:22if your answer is unique and interesting, you can still score very high,
- 56:27but you won't score any bonus points, whereas if you're basic you might be
- 56:30rewarded for it. Don't blame me, I don't make the rules. So
- 56:36that's so Survivor man. It's like play it safe, you know, and
- 56:40maybe you'll you're skirt in or go hard and maybe you'll blow everyone's mind.
- 56:45That's it. That's it. And while you're stuck in the middle of that
- 56:50quandary down, I'm gonna go to you first with a question. Okay.
- 56:53So the first question is, and this will also be for Taylor afterwards,
- 56:57who is the worst Survivor contests of all time? Oh? Oh, it's
- 57:04just like times. No, you can you can take your time, Okay.
- 57:07I definitely have an opinion on this. It's definitely not the popular opinion,
- 57:12Okay, but I'm just gonna put it out there because because I need
- 57:15the world to know and I need you guys to know the worst Survivor contestant,
- 57:22castaway player of all time. And my opinion is fan favorite Rupert.
- 57:30So Okayupert, I know, I know. Rupert is a beloved player on
- 57:36Survivor. He was probably the first sort of superstar character on the show,
- 57:42and he was magnetic. He first appeared in the season Pearl Islands. The
- 57:46whole like vibe of that season was pirates and so as part of that,
- 57:53uh, the first thing that he did was steal all the shoes of the
- 57:58opposing tribe because as he was a pirate, and that was a huge little
- 58:01bit and that was fine, but this is the thing and Honestly, I
- 58:07feel like he's used he's used that one bit to carry him through three seasons.
- 58:13So he's so one dimensional and that's totally fine, you know, he
- 58:19but the bottom line is he's bad at the game. And the only thing
- 58:23he was ever good at was he was strong, and so when a lot
- 58:28of the challenges were strength based, he did really really well. But making
- 58:32people really enjoy watching you be really bad at a game and really kind of
- 58:38boring means that the producers go, oh, people want more of this,
- 58:44and so you get like season after season of just these like really not good
- 58:51Survivor players, and I blame Rupert for that. Okay, so he wasn't
- 58:58a strategist. He also was like a bitter jury member. And what a
- 59:02bitter jury member is is like somebody who is angry that they got outplayed and
- 59:08voted out. So at the end of the season, when they're voting on
- 59:13who's gonna win, they vote against the people who outplayed them, which is
- 59:17like, it's like, yo, you're voting against people for being better at
- 59:22the game than ye, you should vote for of those people, right.
- 59:24Yeah. So he's the fact that he's beloved and the fact that he was
- 59:30a very bland player, resulted in a lot of really bland players and a
- 59:36lot of people unwilling to take risks over the next few seasons. He also
- 59:42just like licked Jeff Probe's boots. Like every season he came back, he
- 59:45like fully bought into whatever the stupid theme was. I told you about the
- 59:50pirate thing. The next season he came back was Heroes Versus Villains, and
- 59:53so he was like, I'm a hero and so like there was a thing
- 59:58where they had they got supply. They never get supplies. They got supplies
- 1:00:01to build their shelter. He built their shelter by himself, but he built
- 1:00:05it. He dug down in the beach to build it, and they all
- 1:00:08got like flooded while they were sleeping. Because Rupert's the hero and taking him
- 1:00:15back a third time for uh, it was Blood versus Water season. He
- 1:00:20came back with his wife. Now, the first thing that happened that season
- 1:00:24was two personally got voted out from each tribe. Their family member had the
- 1:00:29option of replacing them and going out instead of them. And of course Rupert,
- 1:00:34because he was fully bought into this Blood versus Water season, was like,
- 1:00:37I'm gonna let my wife stay in and I'm gonna go out. And
- 1:00:40it's like, dude, stop trying to like show up and show off like
- 1:00:45it's your wife guy, Because yeah, it didn't feel like it was for
- 1:00:52his wife. It felt like it was for the pirate brand. Yeah.
- 1:00:58Can I let me just say one yeah, last thing. Yeah, I
- 1:01:00have a whole Okay, you can tell that I've thought about this, But
- 1:01:06he also his job. He is in the troubled teen industry. I have
- 1:01:12never heard of any troubled teen industry people that are on the up and up.
- 1:01:15That is all shady ship, right, Yeah, and it says it
- 1:01:20says here he ran as part the libertarian potty, so that combined with the
- 1:01:23trouble team things you're piling it on. I love it. Fascinating. That's
- 1:01:30my speech. That's my opinion. It is probably the opposite. I think
- 1:01:36most people have him in their top five players at all. Yeah, I
- 1:01:38will say, I will say because I guess reactions as part of this,
- 1:01:42like the little bits of information that you've given me is how I feel about
- 1:01:45iron Man in the MCU, Like, I think he's so fucking overrated.
- 1:01:50I listen, I don't care about Taylor's Facebook. Now, I think he
- 1:01:53led the way for a bunch of bland. Listen, I'm a guy with
- 1:01:57some tech slash inability that is, and I'm a person who was Erican,
- 1:02:01and now there's something the former ways. This is how you get Paul Rudd
- 1:02:05is aunt man, one of the most blandest characters moving for I love Paul
- 1:02:08Rudd, but Paul Rodd is aunt man, bland fucking nothing. He creates
- 1:02:13all of his own demons. He's not compelling as a character because every superhero,
- 1:02:17like in a way, create their own No, I don't think so
- 1:02:24love where this is going. Yeah, so I could see the sentiment there,
- 1:02:30Yeah, and it was. It was a strong argument from a reality
- 1:02:32show perspective as well. There's always those people where it's like, yeah,
- 1:02:36everyone loves these people, but they just don't get it. Yeah they're an
- 1:02:38US. Yeah. Okay, so I'm gonna give you four out of five
- 1:02:42points for that. I genuinely enjoyed that opinion. Nice. Okay, I
- 1:02:45do have to chime in now that the poor Yeah, yeah, that was
- 1:02:51a very very good take. Nice. Yeah. If the points weren't decided,
- 1:02:57I always say it was shit and you point you're written down. Yes,
- 1:03:04I do think that's a very good taken. I've only seen Rupert in
- 1:03:06the last season, and I was like, why the hell do people love
- 1:03:08him? I got I felt the same way about him. You saw him
- 1:03:13in the season where he takes his wife's place, right, Yeah, it's
- 1:03:16so performative, like it's bullshit. Yeah. I saw him on the Here's
- 1:03:23Versus Villains the other two episodes. We've seen Here Versus Villains the first two
- 1:03:29episodes. No, we've seen, we have seen more of that season.
- 1:03:30Why is he on the Why is he on the Heroes team? Fuck this
- 1:03:34guy, He's doing nothing, He's backseat driving. He was fucking lame.
- 1:03:37And I was like, this is the second worst person on this season.
- 1:03:40Yeah, and wait, second worst person on Heroes Versus Villains, Yes,
- 1:03:46Sugar, worst to me, because TV fucking h that was sexual assault.
- 1:03:52She kept snuggling up against that guy and like, like, was making so
- 1:03:57much noise in the tent to try to get him to cuddle her when he
- 1:04:01had no interest in doing it. He left the tent so that everybody else
- 1:04:05could sleep, and he didn't sleep that night. Imagine all the opinions we'd
- 1:04:09have if we'd have actually watched forty four seasons of Spot. It was at
- 1:04:13least harassment. Assault is too strong a word. It was she was harassing
- 1:04:17him, yeah, you know, very inappropriate way, and I was like,
- 1:04:20oh, nope, we're done. I don't even remember her. She
- 1:04:24got voted off first because she was harassing him and people one couldn't sleep too
- 1:04:29thought it was wildly inappropriate. She was in the season that Bob Crowley from
- 1:04:32Maine, one but one for Bob. This might have been one of those
- 1:04:39seasons I watched when I was like, you know him, fragments of a
- 1:04:46fever dream. Well, Dan, as you already said and correctly guessed,
- 1:04:53in terms of your opinion on this, it wasn't the immunity idle answer this
- 1:04:57one. Then the answer yes, the same question will be forte and the
- 1:05:02same immunity idole answer is still available. Or you can just express your opinion,
- 1:05:06or they could line up. We'll find out. So, Taylor,
- 1:05:09according to you, who is the worst Survivor contestants of all time? Matt,
- 1:05:14I think issue with this question because truly, the actual worst survivor contestant
- 1:05:19of all time is somebody we wouldn't remember the name. Of who got voted
- 1:05:25out, because the whole thing is outwit, outlast, outplay, So if
- 1:05:28you outlast or outplay past round one, then you're, you know, better
- 1:05:34than the worst someone. I see what you're saying. Yeah, so that
- 1:05:39I decided, Okay, do I go my most hated No, No,
- 1:05:44that's not the question. I could. I could put some reasoning behind this
- 1:05:49person. I did have to look his name up, so I hope that
- 1:05:53wasn't cheating. But Colton from he played two Survivors sins and the first Survivor
- 1:06:02season he left on for the listener I'm doing air quotes appendicitis, he had
- 1:06:11an appendicitis, but it was later found out that he did not have an
- 1:06:15appendicitis. Then the second season that he left, I honestly can't even remember
- 1:06:19why he left, but it was very clear that he was not in it
- 1:06:25to endure the Survivor elements and he needed think you know after the first season.
- 1:06:33Yeah, yeah, and he just he kind of played this role where
- 1:06:38he was like, I can't do that, so I'm going to join the
- 1:06:41girls. And it's kind of like the most annoying version of a man where
- 1:06:47annoying virgin of a man version the most annoying, like where he thinks that
- 1:06:56incompetence makes him like women, and so he just like he was like,
- 1:07:00I don't build shelter. I'm gonna hang out with the women. And it's
- 1:07:04like you're not welcome. Yeah, yeah, you're Incompetence is not endearing.
- 1:07:14No, no, And like I liked to gossip about people, so I'm
- 1:07:17with the women. It's just he had all these assumptions about women and felt
- 1:07:21like he was more akin to them, both incompetent and sexist. Yes,
- 1:07:27and and didn't figure out on the first season that he didn't want to be
- 1:07:30here. I have no clue why he returned, because he full on faith
- 1:07:34to a medical emergency. And then he came back. And the second time
- 1:07:38he came back, he came back with a loved one, and the loved
- 1:07:42one continued on for a while. I think he made it kind of far,
- 1:07:45but Colan found his way out. Goodbye, Weird. You cheapen the
- 1:07:49experience and I do not like you. Aldrea, you are a true survivor
- 1:07:55whore what flies lost? My full name, my full name is survivor.
- 1:08:03I mean it's another great answer. Uh, someone else I didn't know about
- 1:08:08and yep, we all know that type of person. So I would have
- 1:08:12given you full points, but you prefaced it all with like, Matt,
- 1:08:15I see what you're doing here with the questions. I don't really appreciate that
- 1:08:19the two hour period, I inhabit this version of myself. So I'm gonna
- 1:08:25say three points and that's my math, and you know what, I'm going
- 1:08:28to accept the three because Dan's answer was far better than mine. I honestly
- 1:08:32thought that that might your answer may have been the hidden immunity idol. I
- 1:08:38was like, can we option? You can take some take some guesses,
- 1:08:42throw them out. It's not for anything, it's just just for fun.
- 1:08:45Oh. I feel like, oh, it can't be Philip. He's a
- 1:08:46legend. I'm gonna guess, uh, Russell Hants not Russell. No,
- 1:08:56Notandon, then Brandon Hans's nephew. Oh that's a good know not his nephew,
- 1:09:00Brandon. I'm also aware of him. These a knowing answers. Uh
- 1:09:04No, it is Wendy Joe to Schmidt Koloff, what is is? Who
- 1:09:10was voted by the one hundred thousand strong reddit for him the most hated Survivor
- 1:09:16character, But as Taylor pointed out, this could be like worst at gameplay,
- 1:09:19this could be like most hated. So it's kind of like a subjective
- 1:09:24questions. So most hated. No, No, it's true, I did
- 1:09:30say worst. So yeah, so just in his defense, which I don't
- 1:09:33want to come to his defense, but to be fair so that we're all
- 1:09:36being honest here. What I've heard is that Survivor production embellished his faking of
- 1:09:44his appendicitis to promote the whole, like we don't want any quitters here,
- 1:09:49and that in reality, he did have an infection. It was not appendicitis,
- 1:09:55but he was in a lot of pain. But to your point,
- 1:10:00that season had some badass women in it, and so for him to be
- 1:10:03like, oh, I'm one of the women and like and not respect that
- 1:10:09they were like total badasses was really annoying. Yeah. Yeah, I can't
- 1:10:14even handle an inflamed appendix or whatever the hell is. Okay, we've got
- 1:10:20one more question in this rounds, and this time Taylor is going to be
- 1:10:24you'll tend to go first. You have the chance at the hidden immunity idol
- 1:10:27if you would like to go in that direction. And the question is,
- 1:10:30thus, which is the best Survivor season of all time? Oh, best
- 1:10:33Survivor season. Yes, Oh, I thought you're going to ask me the
- 1:10:38best Survivor person. Well, same answer. Kind of winners at War through
- 1:10:45season forty and I feel like if this is going to kind of make me
- 1:10:49sound like a not a cool fan, like the classic fan. But season
- 1:10:58forty Survivors or when at War is exactly what it sounded like. All of
- 1:11:01the winners came back and played, not all of them, but twenty of
- 1:11:04them came back and played. It was so so wonderful to watch. It
- 1:11:12was like watching a masterclass in Survivor. You got to see dynamics of people
- 1:11:19who did know each other, who knew each other's strategy, people who knew
- 1:11:24how to pre strategize and then come into the game with a plan and then
- 1:11:30how to adapt the plan. You had people who had won multiple seasons before.
- 1:11:33You had people who had won a season and it was disputed because they
- 1:11:39maybe were a fair winner. All of them at the table together, Who's
- 1:11:43going to win? I don't know, and the winner of that season Tony,
- 1:11:47Tony, Tony, Tony, I love you, Tony, Tony.
- 1:11:51If we were faced to each other in real life, I would hate you,
- 1:11:55we would never get along. But on Survivor, I love him.
- 1:11:59He is tell me he's the cop Tony. He's gonna win it for his
- 1:12:08family. No coss and this man, this bulky, bulky little gorilla of
- 1:12:14a man. Or he's crawling through brush, he's dropping on people. He's
- 1:12:21what I wish I could be in Survivor, but a woman could never They
- 1:12:25would never let a woman get away with being a Tony because he's just like
- 1:12:30kind of a bully, but people love him and he bosses people around and
- 1:12:34he's like a New York cop. I don't even know if he's New York.
- 1:12:39But anyways, I got off point. My boy is, Yes,
- 1:12:43Tony. Tony is what I dreamed to be in Survivor. At one point,
- 1:12:47he like builds himself a little hiding place up in a tree and he's
- 1:12:53peering out to me on Survivor, being away from everybody else. He's like
- 1:12:59a twelve year old put in the game, but he has some emotional intelligence,
- 1:13:02so he just strategizes and isn't afraid to backstab people, and he plays
- 1:13:08the game like it's a game. And he's my inspiration and Survivor and he's
- 1:13:12my inspiration in everyday life. Yeah. Oh that's I mean, it's fantastic
- 1:13:15answer. Not too many things touted about, necessarily the format of heroes versus
- 1:13:19villains. We kind of went on a Tony train then, but you know
- 1:13:25what, Tony was an important aspect of that as well, and Uldra had
- 1:13:28some good responses to you. So I'm gonna get full points for that one.
- 1:13:31And that was not the Hidden Immunity Idol season. And it was not
- 1:13:34the Hidden Immunity Idol season. Yes, mine's going to be there, but
- 1:13:39that's okay. Well, Dan, if you'd like to go ahead, what
- 1:13:42is the best Survivor season of all time? Okay, first of all,
- 1:13:45it was painful to not be able to geek out over winners at four,
- 1:13:50because I mean that is that season was like Avengers end Game of Survivor,
- 1:13:57right like it is what every Survivor fan just like longed for for so long.
- 1:14:01Now, I feel like a bit of a poser to say that I
- 1:14:03did, because I didn't start watching until it was already out. But I
- 1:14:09didn't watch it until I had watched all the other seasons, and so I
- 1:14:12was ready for it. And Tony Tony did what no one else can do,
- 1:14:15which is like play hard from the front and win like that is unheard
- 1:14:21of in the game. Yeah, you usually have to like sneak a bit,
- 1:14:26right, Yeah, because not right. Yeah. And as a fan
- 1:14:30of the show, you want to have win You want to have winners like
- 1:14:33that because you want to have players like that. You want someone to come
- 1:14:36in and go, I can win this way. I know I can because
- 1:14:40Tony did you know? We just love Tony stands, So I know who's
- 1:14:53not right. But okay, so my my favorite season, I'm going with
- 1:14:59my favorite season. You know, I don't know that it's the best,
- 1:15:01but it is my favorite for a number of reasons. It is Cook Islands,
- 1:15:08which I believe is the fourteenth season. I don't remember exactly. I
- 1:15:13believe it is the first season where a hidden immunity idol is brought into the
- 1:15:17game. The winner is a dude named Yule Kwan who never ever comes back
- 1:15:25until Winners at War. Oh wow, Yeah, and he plays so like
- 1:15:32Tay you were saying that you'd like to play a Tony game. I would
- 1:15:35love to play a Yule game because like, dude just is smooth, Like
- 1:15:42his game is so cerebral right, Like it's always just math. It's always
- 1:15:45just like figuring shit out and like staying on the right track and like getting
- 1:15:48in the right spots, and like he was playing chess man and like he
- 1:15:55like every move was right. And so another thing, so one very rare
- 1:15:59thing survivor is for a player to go and be in the front the whole
- 1:16:03game and win. Another thing that's very rare and survivor is for the narrative,
- 1:16:09like stories that are told to work out well, right, because the
- 1:16:13players that you love never win, and the stories that you love always end
- 1:16:18tragically. Cook Islands is the one exception to that. It as a beautiful
- 1:16:25narrative. Okay, So I'm gonna paint this picture for you guys really quick,
- 1:16:28and it's a bit spoilery. I already told you who won those,
- 1:16:30so whatever. YEA. So one twist in this season mutiny where players from
- 1:16:39one tribe could decide to leave that tribe to go to the other tribe.
- 1:16:43And there were two tribes of five and Jeff pro proposed this, and two
- 1:16:47of the people from one tribe went to the other. One of them went
- 1:16:50because she was in love with one of the dudes on the other side,
- 1:16:54and the other one went because he thought he was aligned with her and wanted
- 1:16:58to stay with her. So now we have a tribe of seven and we
- 1:17:00have a tribe of three. Right that math works, right? Yeah,
- 1:17:03so you think, like damn, like the odds are very stacked against those
- 1:17:09three. No, I'm sorry, there were four left, so I don't
- 1:17:12know, I get the numbers all fucking but two people left and went to
- 1:17:15the other tribe, making it quite unbalanced. Making it quite unbalanced. Those
- 1:17:19four stuck together one everything the remainder of the game and systematically picked off every
- 1:17:29one of those bastards on the other group. And here's the thing, right,
- 1:17:33Survivor did what Survivor always does, which is picked a really really stupid
- 1:17:38gimmick. They picked maybe their stupidest ever. They picked like a battle of
- 1:17:44races. They had four tribes. I know, I know, right,
- 1:17:51they had four tribes, and like you realize about halfway through the season that
- 1:17:57like there's a lot of white people left, and this could be what she
- 1:18:03is, very curiosity, what races u u Uele is, I don't know.
- 1:18:10He was part of the Asian tribe the Survivor group to into Asian tribe.
- 1:18:15So the four So there was like this big group. It was mostly
- 1:18:19white, really annoying twenty something's white people. They had a couple other folks
- 1:18:26in there, but it was mostly them, the four that were like,
- 1:18:30you know, the outcasts were there was God, I hate all of this
- 1:18:34language. Yeah, two people from the Asian tribe, one person from the
- 1:18:43Hispanic tribe, and then there was one person from the person of color tribe.
- 1:18:48I don't know, yaham is what you're saying. So it looked really
- 1:18:54the views of CBS, Yeah, it looked like all the white people were
- 1:18:58just going to dominate and like this was going to come out really, really
- 1:19:01poorly. Uh yeah, but you have possibly the greatest challenge performances from Ozzy,
- 1:19:09who came back several times after that. It's the only time watching someone
- 1:19:12do challenges has ever been interesting to me. It is like you ever watched
- 1:19:15like someone who's just really good at a sport or just really good at something,
- 1:19:18and he was just like, it kind of blows your mind. That's
- 1:19:20watching him in the water. He's like a dolphin. He was a real
- 1:19:24if he was a real Tony. Tony wasn't good at challenges, but like
- 1:19:33a shit like climb trees like on his feet and just like pull like coconuts
- 1:19:39down and shit like, dude was wild and ship yeah, and like they
- 1:19:44just dominated the rest of the game and just punished and punished and punished that
- 1:19:48other group of players until they were gone, and it was just like,
- 1:19:53oh, it's perfect. It was now you got me. I mean,
- 1:19:55it's an underdog story, always in one nuts in it. Man, it's
- 1:20:00pretty good. It's the season that if no one's ever watched the show,
- 1:20:04it's like I struggle because it's like I want people like watch this first because
- 1:20:11it's like the greatest there is. But at the same time, I'm like,
- 1:20:13no, no, no, no, you need to earn this,
- 1:20:15like yeah, watch some ship seasons and then you can have this. Oh
- 1:20:20fantastic, that's you've sold me on it. That's the season I want to
- 1:20:25watch. Yeah, you're right in your guessing. It's not the hidden Immunity
- 1:20:29of IDOL, and that is actually Heroes Versus Villains was voted as the first
- 1:20:34one. Yeah it's season twenty. Yeah. Yeah, but I'm also going
- 1:20:40to give you full points for that because that was very impassioned. Uh,
- 1:20:43and yeah, I'm I'm sold. I have not seen that season, but
- 1:20:46you've convinced me to go back and watch it. But you will. In
- 1:20:50Winners at War, he was classy and he was one of the few class
- 1:20:56Like you don't really use classys describe Survivor contests, but you will gave off
- 1:21:02classy vibes. So I don't want like i've we're already points out and everything,
- 1:21:08but like, I just want a couple like points on Cook Islands and
- 1:21:12Yule specifically. It was one of the first seasons where they recruited, so
- 1:21:15there were players that were playing that were not like reality TV hungry like people,
- 1:21:21right, So you had people like Yule and Becky and a lot of
- 1:21:25folks on that season who had no interest in being on reality TV and and
- 1:21:30that made them way more interesting because they weren't sort of like survive Horse so
- 1:21:33to speak, like to speak, yes, and like inadvertently, Survivor gave
- 1:21:42us the most diverse season they ever had that season all name and then the
- 1:21:49following season they had it stacked the same exact way they did. The tribes
- 1:21:54different, but they stacked it the same way. To say, see,
- 1:21:57it wasn't just about the race. War we're just more diverse. And then
- 1:22:00immediately the shallowing season after that went back to like eighty percent white people.
- 1:22:03So yeah, God bless CBS, I guess network, God bless them.
- 1:22:11They need Jesus. Oh, they don't need Jesus. Jesus, and with
- 1:22:16that, that's sorry. I just like I like the idea of saying that's
- 1:22:21the end of the round after they need Jesus. Yes, that's the end
- 1:22:26of the round. Let's couple together the remaining grains of rice and use them
- 1:22:30to calculate the latest scores. The scores are. The survive holes are on
- 1:22:33nine points. The fucking Sticks are in the lead with ten points. Round
- 1:22:39three necks. But first, here are some smart ads for sunscreen, tropical
- 1:22:43vacations, and tiki torches. Enjoy all the capitalism. For round three,
- 1:22:53we're playing a rare main feeds game of Journey into Hell. Usually you've got
- 1:22:57to head on over to our patreon for this, which we are literally just
- 1:23:00talking about it, so I don't need to plug it here. In turn,
- 1:23:03our teams will hear genuine comments from the hellscape that is YouTube's comments section.
- 1:23:09It's up to our teams to identify which iconic Survivor moments, the user
- 1:23:13is commenting on, Oh, and if you don't know, it'll be thrown
- 1:23:16over to your opponents for a chance to steal. Don't blame me, I
- 1:23:20don't make the rules. See you keep saying that, but you make all
- 1:23:28the rules. I know. Okay, so we will begin with the fucking
- 1:23:32sticks. And here is your first YouTube comments for this moment, and it
- 1:23:36comes from user b ball Enthusiast ninety six. I always appreciate how gracious Eric
- 1:23:43was, even in the face of humiliation. He was a great sport and
- 1:23:46has always been willing to laugh at himself. It makes one of the shows,
- 1:23:50all tim moments, even better. I think I know what this is.
- 1:23:58I can't remember her name. If you can describe the situation roughly,
- 1:24:02then you'll definitely get the point. So I think her name Surrey. I
- 1:24:08feel terrible. She's a fantastic player, and I should remember her name.
- 1:24:11I think her name Surrey. She convinces he wins individual immunity at a challenge,
- 1:24:17and she convinces him to give it up to her or someone else,
- 1:24:24and they promise they won't vote him out, and then they definitely fucking vote
- 1:24:29him out. Classic survivor. Yeah, that's that's it. You've said enough
- 1:24:33for me. If he has to get the point for Shure. Yeah,
- 1:24:36the poor poor boy, he's young and like he is, he's he's just
- 1:24:41so enamored with being in the game. I think that he just really he's
- 1:24:46so sweet, poor guy. Okay, good stuff, good surviveor knowledge,
- 1:24:56right out the gate step. Okay, we will move on over to the
- 1:24:59survive hole. So here's your YouTube comments. It comes from use a really
- 1:25:01big dog, Clifford. Clifford, Okay, And they had to say,
- 1:25:08Sierra gets way too much credit for this move. It wouldn't have made a
- 1:25:12difference who she voted for, and it didn't exactly elevate her status in the
- 1:25:15alliance. I could never do this. Oh. I think it's when she
- 1:25:23votes out her mom. Yep, that's all I needed to hear. It's
- 1:25:26exactly that. Any any follow up questions, Aldra did elevator her status.
- 1:25:33It didn't win for this season. It didn't. I respected move, but
- 1:25:36I don't really agree with the comment. I get she had to do that,
- 1:25:41but it still didn't. It didn't end up winning her anything broached the
- 1:25:45thing it did the thing that survived that is always so problematic on Survivor,
- 1:25:50which is it put a target on her. People are like, oh shit,
- 1:25:54Sierra's here to play. And then they were like immediately like we gotta
- 1:25:57get her the hell out of here, especially now that her mom on the
- 1:26:00jury. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah. Interesting, all
- 1:26:05good survive a knowledge that I was hoping to trick you with these, but
- 1:26:09it turns out these are iconic Survivor moments. Batalistical did not lie to me.
- 1:26:15Okay, yeah, let's move back on over to the fucking sticks.
- 1:26:17This next YouTube comment comes from us a bed bath and beyond Thunderdome. I
- 1:26:23want to see that movie. They had to say, you fucking moron.
- 1:26:28This is not mastermind play from him. This is called being good at scavenger
- 1:26:32hunts. He would need to learn social skills if he wants to win from
- 1:26:36the person who calls him one a fucking moron on the insidet. I have
- 1:26:41a feeling, but Jason, do you have any ideas. Oh, one
- 1:26:45time I was watching Survivor and a guy who wrote a school rock he was
- 1:26:51on that season, and I think, yeah, like white here by the
- 1:26:59way, Oh my god, what a guy. And and the white lowis
- 1:27:01last. Oh my god, he's not involved in this moment. Okay,
- 1:27:10that's the moment I'm thinking of. Oh I just saw him find something one
- 1:27:14time. It might have been a coconut. I don't know. So if
- 1:27:17I'm right, which I very well might not be, I think it's been
- 1:27:24who keeps finding hidden immunity idols to keep him in the game. The controversy
- 1:27:29around that is that the producers maybe planted those idols so that he could stay
- 1:27:33in the game, so that they could have a veteran for a winner.
- 1:27:36So, oh, for sure, Oh that's for sure. What happened is
- 1:27:40I don't know much about survivan but that's absolutely what happened. It's reality TV.
- 1:27:44You gotta have a little like half reality half TV. Look that that
- 1:27:49that that may well have happened within Survivor. But I'm Freddy, it's not
- 1:27:53the moment was talking about. I just assumed it was. I'm not even
- 1:27:59on that teams Heay, do you have any idea about this one? I
- 1:28:02want to throw. I guess that's the exact same thing I thought. So
- 1:28:08if it's not that, then wh yeah, you're probably right because right,
- 1:28:18No, I don't think Mike, no it's not my quem. Sorry,
- 1:28:27maybe I'm just trying to think of maybe it was. Wait, can I
- 1:28:33phone a friend and it be Dan? You better not break this goddamn alliance.
- 1:28:41I'll though you off. You says maybe Tyson or Boston Rob like they
- 1:28:46both found a lot. No, it's it's not either of those, this
- 1:28:49moment specifically being crazy like Dimension twenties version of Survivor. That should have been
- 1:28:57my muse. I would okay, it would have been a good news.
- 1:29:00Yeah. No, this is Russell Hans who defied all odds and found a
- 1:29:05hidden immunity idol without even receiving a clue, and he was the first person
- 1:29:10in survive a history to do that, and then he made it his gimmick
- 1:29:13that he would find immunity idols and even appeared on Survivor Australia after the fact,
- 1:29:17purely on the gimmick that he finds idols. Oh, he's the worst.
- 1:29:23He was gonna be my other pick or worst player. But I'm really
- 1:29:26glad you brought up Tyson though, because Tyson hasn't been brought up, and
- 1:29:29that dude is just for the one liners like just if you guys are bored,
- 1:29:34just like a best Tyson Survivor quotes. They're just they're like. One
- 1:29:40of his first quotes from like his first seasons was like, I love making
- 1:29:45people cry as I watched their dreams die us Christ fantastic. Yes, as
- 1:29:55games master, I love that sentiment. Okay, so, bibe holes,
- 1:30:00here is your YouTube note I'm losing it in the heat. Here is your
- 1:30:03next YouTube comments actual and it's from Gladriel of wester Ross and they had to
- 1:30:10say, I get why Eliza did it, but also Ozzie's line will always
- 1:30:15get me. Jeff, come on, that took hours to make. Ext
- 1:30:19x D x D. I haven't seen this season, but I'm going to
- 1:30:26assume that Ozzie made a fake community idole and Jeff through it in the fire.
- 1:30:34Yep, ye stick it is. This is the I kept my lips.
- 1:30:44But yeah, so that's exactly right. For a point, Dan,
- 1:30:47I'm so sorry that your knowledge has provided the answers to lots of pituler.
- 1:30:53Fucking stick. Yes stick, good job, good job. There's a point.
- 1:31:00Okay, I've got one final YouTube comment for each pair. Back on
- 1:31:03over to the fucking sticks. Here it is. It comes from user the
- 1:31:06movie Sellular Phone that's a good name. If Angelina was a robber, I
- 1:31:14think she would definitely be the best robber. Bank. Can I rob your
- 1:31:17money? Bank? Bank have no idea, I have no idea. Basin
- 1:31:24that's something's probably just straight up as someone for an immunity idol or something.
- 1:31:30Now, this is a really tough one. I was just say, like,
- 1:31:31what's robbing like? Is that when you steal? Is that a thing
- 1:31:34you can do? You can't steal things and survivor you have to like immunity
- 1:31:40idols and stuff, you have to be given them. You can't steal them.
- 1:31:44Now, it's a really, really tough YouTube comment, a tough question
- 1:31:46that I wanted to try and post it down to see if you'd get it
- 1:31:49off off of the meme. But what I will say, Jason is this
- 1:31:51is from David versus Goliath. So you should know this. Why one time
- 1:32:00my aunt, she she kind of an octopus out the ocean, did so
- 1:32:06much steal her octopus. Is are you going with to go with stealing of
- 1:32:10octopus? It's either that or she just asked somebody for their idol. And
- 1:32:15I think Angelina is the name of a girl who's a writer in Denver,
- 1:32:20uh, we'll say she robbed, Yeah, an immunity idol off of Mike
- 1:32:28White. Yes, yes, okay, yes, no it is. It
- 1:32:33is not that, despite your best efforts to say so. No, this
- 1:32:39is As Natalie gets her torch snuffed in David Versus Goliath, Angelina asks for
- 1:32:44her jacket repeatedly. I should have known the jacket. It's like a huge
- 1:32:49moment. Yeah, it's kind of like a meme within Survivor of just like
- 1:32:54trying to ask for a jacket, and she spends a lot of her gameplay
- 1:32:57trying to acquire jackets because she runs cold. Yep, yep, damn.
- 1:33:02Is that a gimmick? Is that a thing is exact? It like a
- 1:33:04like a like a piece of currency, like you can trade five cigarettes for
- 1:33:08a jacket or something like that on this Island. Never seen any cigarettes on
- 1:33:12the show. But okay. This final YouTube comments for the Survive Horse comes
- 1:33:16from user assemblies of God like the fish, the fish, all call of
- 1:33:21duty with everything, and that comment is I still love Jeff's reaction to this
- 1:33:28day. The big twist that we've been promising this was not it llallallallallalla,
- 1:33:33Wells is supposed to be a hard one right, yes, oh yeah,
- 1:33:36don't don't worry about this. Yeah. Oh, I thought she was going
- 1:33:40to be like I thought you knew it immediately. You were just shaming you.
- 1:33:44Yeah. I want to make you proud so bad, but no,
- 1:33:48you already have. I just this is a Survivor episode, and I just
- 1:33:59want you to know I'm also proud of you. I'm just not very good
- 1:34:01at vocalizing such things, so I am taking that yeah to tell me,
- 1:34:08Yeah, for sticks, man, I genuinely have not one idea. That's
- 1:34:16very fair. It's a very vague comment. Oh, I can invent one.
- 1:34:20I said that without having any idea when I was go, go on,
- 1:34:23you've got to now. I believe in you harder than I've ever believed
- 1:34:28in things. They built up somebody using an immunity idol for episodes and episodes
- 1:34:39and then they didn't need it. Yeah, like a vague answer for a
- 1:34:45vague question. I like it. Someone named Jeff was involved and no boots
- 1:34:55got cast in for them. Okay, yes, it's it's not that so
- 1:34:59I'm going to throw it over for the chance to steal if Dan has any
- 1:35:01idea. But it's a good guess. Ultra well made up and thank you.
- 1:35:05So if Jeff says it, it means it's something from the production side,
- 1:35:10and it was something that it feels like they were not planning. So
- 1:35:15like, I don't know, I don't think this is it. But the
- 1:35:19only thing I can think of is, and I think we mentioned it earlier
- 1:35:23that they end up getting evac because of because of like a big storm.
- 1:35:29That would be a that would be a production thing. But it's not that
- 1:35:31I'm afraid. Yeah, this is at the final for All Stars, Rob
- 1:35:35Mariano proposed and she and she was crowned with the Soul survivor. So it
- 1:35:42was like a live proposal in the in the studio, and apparently it's an
- 1:35:45iconic line. When Jeff says the big twist that we've been promising that was
- 1:35:50not it, that's nobody sounds like. Okay, that's the end of three.
- 1:36:00Time to play an immunity challenge in which will calculate the latest scores,
- 1:36:04which would make for terrible television. The fucking sticks are on eleven points.
- 1:36:10The survive hoors have caught up and are also on eleven points. Close round
- 1:36:18coming up, Yes, but before we get to that quick fire around let's
- 1:36:23talk prizes. I want to know what you're playing for. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:36:27yeah, probably chicken. No. Our Star prize is the concept of
- 1:36:32game play, something important to Survivor, this podcast and life bus. Our
- 1:36:39winning team will also receive two all expenses paid tickets to one of the Survivor
- 1:36:45filming locations. Oh but it is for the Mama Nuka Islands in Fiji again
- 1:36:53again, you know, like, what's what's the point of even going?
- 1:36:57You know You've seen so many times on television. No one needs those Subscribe
- 1:37:04to the Patreon right, I can't believe you bought those tickets just I know,
- 1:37:09right commitment. Up next is our crucial quick fire around. But first
- 1:37:14we must play one final set of ads. If it's a smart ad for
- 1:37:17the next season of Survivor, you owe me money, Jeff year me I
- 1:37:21on your head, Jeff back. After this, our final quick fire around
- 1:37:33will test your broader pop culture knowledge and it is cold Islands is the theme.
- 1:37:39That is what they are, nothing in between? How can you be
- 1:37:42wrong? I was going to sing in, but I'm too tired. So,
- 1:37:46because Survivor is often set on an island, I thought I'd test our
- 1:37:50team's knowledge of fictional islands. In this game, I will give our players
- 1:37:55clues to an island from pop culture history. Our players then buzz in and
- 1:38:00either the name of the island itself or the property it's from. Oh oh,
- 1:38:03and those clues will be in the style of Jeff hyping a weird episode
- 1:38:08of Survivor. And of course this and of course there's a classic gatesleaper's twist.
- 1:38:15You need to say the tribe has spoken after your answer, so you
- 1:38:20name the media property. It could be a film, it could be a
- 1:38:23TV series, it could be a book, and then say the tribe has
- 1:38:26spoken. Andre You're going to do so well at this. I buzz in
- 1:38:31so fucking slow. I think I might know some like I can think of
- 1:38:39a couple fictional islands, but I buzz in so slow and so getting like
- 1:38:42my game face. You buzz in by yelling out your team name. So
- 1:38:47let's practice that. Now, sticks sticks, should you just say sticks and
- 1:38:54hars? Okay, I mean it's these, yeah, buzzing. I'm probably
- 1:39:00gonna say the whole thing because I've practiced it. You practiced it, and
- 1:39:03so that's under in my mind. Okay, you can. Let's let's do
- 1:39:08a practice, so you can see how the questions are going to be strettured.
- 1:39:12I'll try my American voice. I'll give it a go. Tonight Tonight,
- 1:39:15Tonight. Tonight's on Survivor Fire, because it's like on the Susans the
- 1:39:24episode Diver, The Diver Tonight Tonight Tonight, it's more jolly, jolly American
- 1:39:31Tonight. Alliances must be formed between Jim the Cabin Boy and long John Silver
- 1:39:36in order to win riches. I think I think the Ulder was slightly before

- 1:50:58It could not have been more back and forth during that quick fire round,
- 1:51:00and it has, for my money, produced one of the most exciting
- 1:51:03games of gate leapers we've ever had. The fucking Sticks finish on sixteen points.
- 1:51:14That's pretty good. Oh my god, this thunder happening here. I
- 1:51:16hope that picks Oh, I hope that picks up on the mic. It
- 1:51:18won't, but it's so loud here. But the Survive Whores finish also on
- 1:51:28sixteen points. Tie. The second ever in three years of podcasting will be
- 1:51:38more than one, well, it feels like the second ever. I don't
- 1:51:43think of one. Previous one. The first most important. Look, we
- 1:51:47do this every time there's a time. So there is this thing there was
- 1:51:53there was the first series of Survivor that ended in a tie. They just
- 1:51:56randomly had the person who finished third place decides who got to win. May
- 1:52:01congratulations, So I guess I finished in third place? Yeah? And do

- 1:52:54until then, I leave you with this powerful quote from Survivor player Crystal.
- 1:52:58You have made my life a live hell from day one. Fuck you go
- 1:53:01home, goodbye, which reminds me I've got to call my parents. Well,
- 1:53:17that was one of our most chaotic recordings. Yes, oh man,
- 1:53:21a little bit, because the patrons will get the unedited version, right,
- 1:53:25I'm going to smash the two videos together because the video quality and sound quality
- 1:53:29was great for the folk. Yeah, so all I have to do is
- 1:53:31edit the two videos together. But we ran so long. We ran over
- 1:53:35two hours. I have been able to tell from the runtime of this one.
- 1:53:39This one he edited version. Yeah, oh god, yes, but
- 1:53:44it was reality shows really get us stand going hard with the knowledge, Yes,
- 1:53:48to the point where he screwed up his own game. You gave away
- 1:53:51two answers with that fantastic soive knowledge. That's the that's the thing about gate
- 1:53:56leapers. If you know too much, you're going to give the game away
- 1:53:59to your opponents. Yeah, you can get in your own way, both
- 1:54:01by second guessing yourself and being like, oh no, is it a deeper
- 1:54:04cut, but also just your musings can give it away. Yeah, absolutely,
- 1:54:11definitely. Future questions and not this episode. But I knew too much
- 1:54:15about x Men, got a little little too excited and I could have just
- 1:54:18said Marvel x Men. I knew it was that. Yeah, I just
- 1:54:20completely see the pooch on that quick fire question. Yeah, but look,
- 1:54:25just like our Bachelor episodes, this was a whole lot of fun. If

- 1:57:06we said it at that price point because some people have it as like one
- 1:57:10or two dollars and stuff. Patreon takes a buck. So if you're supporting
- 1:57:14someone for a dollar a month, I think that's awesome that you're doing that,
- 1:57:17but it's all going to Patreon. So it's like kind of like a
- 1:57:21dollar for Patreon. And then we get two fifty and it's good. So
- 1:57:24it's like, yeah, it's a pretty good thing. We put a lot
- 1:57:27of effort into this. It takes a whole lot of time and energy to

- 1:57:33the support of our lovely patrons, we've managed like upgrade our lighting for the
- 1:57:39videos, and we've been able to get in you editing software. Yeah.
- 1:57:43So it basically keeps the engine or rolling. Yeah here yeah, yeah,
- 1:57:46yeah, more supporters, more content for you guys. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:57:50three fifty a month. What's that like. It's like if you saw if
- 1:57:55you, yeah, coffee, Like if we were in a coffee shop and
- 1:57:57you'd buy my coffee or either they're office I don't know, or if we're
- 1:58:01in a bar and you'd buy one of us a drink. It's cheaper than
- 1:58:03that. It's way cheaper. If you would do that, if you would
- 1:58:06do that once every three months, it's fine. It's fine if you do
- 1:58:11that once in a while. Yeah, then the Patreon is not much.
- 1:58:15Yes, absolutely, So that's the best place. That's the one stop shop.
- 1:58:17We'll see you in a couple of weeks with a brand new episode.
- 1:58:20Yeah. See if my little leap frogs
