Speaker 3: Let's hit it.
0:52
Speaker 1: I'm oh, that had eight o'clock delight vibes. It did
1:03
Speaker 1: have some eight o'clock delight. I think whispers of Dawn.
1:06
Speaker 1: I was a little like confused at the beginning of that,
1:09
Speaker 1: but that was that was a nice track, you know.
1:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, guys, right at the top, I just want
1:14
Speaker 2: to thank y'all for letting me be a guest on
1:16
Speaker 2: the Making the Merging podcast.
1:17
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Jorn, but yeah, welcome to the Burgie Awards.
1:22
Speaker 1: We're back for our final two shows of season fifty.
1:26
Speaker 1: And you know who wasn't here on our finale show
1:29
Speaker 1: season fifty man? What happened? Jonathan?
1:33
Speaker 2: I was working we late, Nate lately cares, Yeah, that
1:37
Speaker 2: was it, That's all.
1:38
Speaker 1: I mean.
1:38
Speaker 2: I was just I got stuck. I got stuck work
1:40
Speaker 2: and thought I was still gonna be able to record,
1:42
Speaker 2: and then like my time, I just watched that clock
1:45
Speaker 2: continue to tick away and I was no closer to
1:47
Speaker 2: my hotel.
1:47
Speaker 1: How does it.
1:48
Speaker 4: Feel knowing that you moved the record date for all
1:51
Speaker 4: of us inconvenience as all and then didn't.
1:53
Speaker 2: Still, I felt so bad straight up. I was like, yeah,
1:57
Speaker 2: I was apologizing in the chat. I was like, I'm sorry, guys,
2:00
Speaker 2: like and I.
2:01
Speaker 1: Told everybody I said, don't respond, don't respond to him.
2:04
Speaker 1: Let him flounder. You know.
2:06
Speaker 2: I was fine, I was busy, but I was literally like,
2:09
Speaker 2: what am I gonna do?
2:10
Speaker 1: But we know, fllas, I know when Jonathan feels bad
2:14
Speaker 1: because he sends too many texts. I do I do
2:17
Speaker 1: I send too many texts?
2:18
Speaker 2: Well, it's because I'll send a text and then I'll
2:20
Speaker 2: be like I should have said this part too, and
2:22
Speaker 2: then I send a follow up and I'm like, yeah,
2:24
Speaker 2: but now it made it sound like this, so I
2:25
Speaker 2: gotta send this file. So it just keeps going, and uh,
2:29
Speaker 2: I'm not desperate for friendship.
2:31
Speaker 1: He's desperate for friendship.
2:32
Speaker 4: And so this is the show where we do our
2:36
Speaker 4: nominations for the Mergy Awards. I think the first thing
2:39
Speaker 4: that everyone should vote on is whether or not Jonathan
2:41
Speaker 4: gets invited back to.
2:42
Speaker 1: Be a host next season. Yeah. If you guys vote no,
2:46
Speaker 1: he'll just be a guest. Yeah, Jonathan, you know, to
2:50
Speaker 1: keep all the attention on Jonathan. We actually have a
2:53
Speaker 1: message from undisclosed woman.
2:56
Speaker 5: What oh no, well, he d ad, you're amazing at drafting. Yes,
3:04
Speaker 5: this is undisclosed woman, And I just want to say,
3:07
Speaker 5: if Jonathan has no haters, then I'm dead. Now I'm
3:11
Speaker 5: a woman joorned and you all better stop using my
3:14
Speaker 5: sound jobs or I will send an official season desist.
3:17
Speaker 5: Some might say I'm switching sides because PD has now
3:20
Speaker 5: officially won the draft, But I did actually meant to
3:23
Speaker 5: send this ages ago, but haven't because, and this is true,
3:27
Speaker 5: I have been very busy and preoccupied with trying to
3:30
Speaker 5: keep my dying cat Pepper alive. So you can all
3:33
Speaker 5: guess how much Jonathan lying about Jack really cut deep,
3:37
Speaker 5: you know. So we're no longer jacking it for fifty.
3:40
Speaker 5: We're bricked up for Bronco and PD did give me
3:44
Speaker 5: the contact info ts three Etsy witches, so I have
3:47
Speaker 5: now tasked them with draining Jorn's life force and giving
3:50
Speaker 5: it to my cat instead. So hopefully we'll see and
3:53
Speaker 5: reap those benefits in the next coming weeks. And you
3:57
Speaker 5: know what, I also still work today, and I still
4:01
Speaker 5: managed to record this and send it, so I'll just
4:04
Speaker 5: leave you all with Jonathan, do your fucking job is?
4:09
Speaker 1: Yeah?
4:10
Speaker 2: This is just why do I feel like I'm getting
4:13
Speaker 2: yelled at by like a parent?
4:15
Speaker 1: You know?
4:16
Speaker 4: I guess I just didn't appreciate how she was, Like,
4:18
Speaker 4: PD's awesome.
4:20
Speaker 1: What with that? That just weird? Okay, so she's seen
4:24
Speaker 1: the light. She's finally on my side. It's just's a woman,
4:28
Speaker 1: is what she said. She's a woman asjourned, and now
4:30
Speaker 1: she's on my team, and now that she's supporting me,
4:32
Speaker 1: you can't handle it.
4:33
Speaker 2: Yeah.
4:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just not as fun this way, guys. I'm sorry,
4:37
Speaker 4: So why don't we just go ahead and.
4:38
Speaker 1: We'll a survivor? Not as fun for you now that
4:40
Speaker 1: I'm on top. No, No, I don't mind, Dad, I
4:43
Speaker 1: don't mind Dad. Yeah, you don't mind PD on top? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
4:49
Speaker 1: I think undisclosed woman had a great contribution.
4:53
Speaker 2: Nah.
4:53
Speaker 4: Now, this week's of PD was really trying to get
4:56
Speaker 4: this bit done for several weeks, and an undisclosed woman,
4:59
Speaker 4: who is a busy woman trying to live her life,
5:02
Speaker 4: was like, p D, leave me alone.
5:03
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do this bit. And then he begged
5:05
Speaker 1: her to do the bit and she's like, fine, I'll
5:07
Speaker 1: do the bit.
5:10
Speaker 3: Man.
5:10
Speaker 1: No, I have no idea what you're talking about. I
5:12
Speaker 1: have no influence over undisclosed woman and Chase. It's nothing
5:17
Speaker 1: to get upset about.
5:18
Speaker 2: Anyway, we need to make nominations for these awards.
5:21
Speaker 1: Enough of this, enough of this, Chase. It's nothing to
5:23
Speaker 1: get upset about. I'm not upset. I'm not upset.
5:26
Speaker 4: I'm just calling get how I see it, and that
5:29
Speaker 4: is PD has interfered too much with a good thing.
5:32
Speaker 1: He's made it all about him. It's very selfish. I
5:34
Speaker 1: am completely selfless. So should we get to these awards
5:42
Speaker 1: for us? How about them awards? Boys? What did let
5:46
Speaker 1: me let me get Brand's list up. You're okick, Brand
5:49
Speaker 1: gets priority. It's what I'm hearing Brand.
5:53
Speaker 2: Wait, wait a sec, I want to talk about this
5:54
Speaker 2: for a moment. I know we can't do awards, but
5:56
Speaker 2: Brand's not here, and suddenly Brand it's the royal treatment of.
6:02
Speaker 1: Oh, how many episodes did Brand miss this season? Enough enough?
6:07
Speaker 1: We just need to all show up to every episode
6:10
Speaker 1: so that twenty percent of making the merge content won't
6:13
Speaker 1: be us discussing absences. Yeah, yeah, but that kind of
6:16
Speaker 1: makes it funny, I think. Yeah, I don't know, Jase,
6:19
Speaker 1: I think that bit's run. I don't. I don't think
6:21
Speaker 1: you understand. Guys.
6:22
Speaker 2: I'm doing it for my brand. It's just my thing now,
6:25
Speaker 2: you know, if I show up every time.
6:27
Speaker 1: Right right, Jonathan making fun of you not showing up
6:30
Speaker 1: as a tired bit now, So if you could just
6:32
Speaker 1: show up all the time so you don't have to
6:33
Speaker 1: do it, you know what I actually agree with PD.
6:36
Speaker 1: I agree with we've beat a dead horse, and I'm
6:38
Speaker 1: the horse, you're the horse. And uh and Brand or
6:42
Speaker 1: we're gonna let him dictate this whole thing. So we're
6:45
Speaker 1: also gonna do it in the order that he sent them. Right,
6:49
Speaker 1: So we're gonna start with gone too soon? And Brand
6:51
Speaker 1: believes that Q was gone too soon? We can we
6:54
Speaker 1: can we all right?
6:55
Speaker 5: Hold on?
6:57
Speaker 1: That was so like low energy? All right, Brand, things.
7:01
Speaker 1: Let's let's hype this up. Guys. This is the Mergery Awards. Okay,
7:04
Speaker 1: you do it. Yeah, ladies and.
7:06

7:12
Speaker 2: too soon. Shut the fuck up, Jonathan, Fine, I started
7:17
Speaker 2: with Flying South Carolina, got too about him nowhere, Dude
7:30
Speaker 2: just hit him so hard he's been saving up.
7:34
Speaker 1: So first Chase comes after me for having undisclosed woman
7:38
Speaker 1: on my side, and now yeah, he demotes me from
7:40
Speaker 1: being the host of this You're not high energy enough
7:44
Speaker 1: for the awards show.
7:45
Speaker 2: Well, I mean straight up, Jonathan, back me up here,
7:47
Speaker 2: you just go all right? First up, Gone too Soon brands.

8:02
Speaker 1: it here acting I'm not now I'm I'm the reigning
8:06
Speaker 1: and defending champion. And as season fifty party girl, I
8:11
Speaker 1: think I got a little out of control. And so
8:13
Speaker 1: the past four days have been about like reflecting and
8:16
Speaker 1: really centering myself and spending a lot of time amongst
8:20
Speaker 1: the trees and the birds. Wow okay, yeah, okay, so yeah,
8:24
Speaker 1: I guess Chase is more fit to host this today
8:28
Speaker 1: because he's coked up all the time. Right.
8:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, I'm just good at my job,
8:32
Speaker 2: I guess, is what you're saying.
8:34
Speaker 1: I know, I'm just in a deep state of reflection
8:39
Speaker 1: and getting myself ready to win fifty one. He's not
8:42
Speaker 1: a coach right now. I was on a coach like
8:44
Speaker 1: journey one hundred and fifty miles through the trees of
8:47
Speaker 1: South Carolina.
8:48
Speaker 4: Yeah you think he's joking? PD Did he biked the
8:52
Speaker 4: length from here to Atlanta, Georgia?
8:55
Speaker 1: Actually? I made it past yeah, a little bit past Atlanta. Yeah.
8:58
Speaker 4: No, he didn't like literally do it like. He didn't
9:01
Speaker 4: like go on the highway and bike to Atlanta. He
9:04
Speaker 4: just did the amount of miles needed. I really felt
9:06
Speaker 4: like I needed to clarify that so people didn't think
9:08
Speaker 4: you were just riding a bike on three eighty five.
9:10
Speaker 1: Yeah that's next anyway. Yeah, so let's we know that
9:16
Speaker 1: as nominated by brand. Now let's go around, Jonathan, who
9:20
Speaker 1: are you gonna nominate?
9:22
Speaker 2: Uh? I think Mike White was gone too soon? Really yeah,
9:26
Speaker 2: I think it would have been fun to just see
9:28
Speaker 2: a little more of his his weird dynamic and personality
9:31
Speaker 2: through a season. That's not that I thought he had
9:35
Speaker 2: all that much to all. Yeah, but it was just
9:38
Speaker 2: like he was a fun presence to have, you.
9:43
Speaker 1: Know, it's just nice. Yeah, that's a good one.
9:47
Speaker 3: P D.
9:47
Speaker 1: Who do you nominate? I'm going to nominate. I mean,
9:52
Speaker 1: there's an obvious one that was on your team, Chase.
9:56
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, maybe I'll let you have that one. I'm
9:59
Speaker 1: gonna go with Genevie.
10:01
Speaker 4: Oh, Genevieve was gone too soon. I agree with that
10:03
Speaker 4: because she got screwed that wasn't on her.
10:06
Speaker 1: Or should I save Genevieve for baby come back? Should
10:09
Speaker 1: I pick somebody else here? You can do both, you
10:11
Speaker 1: can do both. Okay, Yeah, let's let's give it to
10:13
Speaker 1: Gin or Gwyn.
10:14
Speaker 4: I will also nominate a Gin for the Gone Too
10:18
Speaker 4: Soon Award, But this time Jenna. I think that if
10:21
Speaker 4: she would, I think it would have been cool to see,
10:23
Speaker 4: you know, the only player from Survivor Season one stick
10:26
Speaker 4: around longer in the Survivor fifty season.
10:28
Speaker 1: That's true. I just think it would have added a
10:30
Speaker 1: fun story element. But you know, okay, I kind of
10:33
Speaker 1: want to change mine now because there's somebody that I
10:35
Speaker 1: feel like should be on here. Maybe over was that
10:38
Speaker 1: not the obvious one. Kyle. Oh well, so I thought
10:43
Speaker 1: about Kyle.
10:44
Speaker 4: I did not think that he was Gone too Soon.
10:47
Speaker 4: He's a former winner, he's played. I think that there's
10:49
Speaker 4: a better category for Kyle.
10:52
Speaker 1: To win this season. But you can change hers to
10:54
Speaker 1: Kyle if you want.
10:56
Speaker 2: Nope, I'm leaving it. Gwen Avieve, all right, I think
10:59
Speaker 2: that's a great nominee. I think Genevieve is a great nominee.
11:01
Speaker 4: Guys, the nominees for the Gone Too Soon Award, and
11:04
Speaker 4: you can vote over on our Instagram for who you
11:06
Speaker 4: think should win Gone Too Soon Q Mike White, Genevieve,

Speaker 4: The next category is the funniest castaway.
11:38
Speaker 1: PD. What is Brand's nomination? The obvious one? Yeah, it is,
11:44
Speaker 1: it's the obvious one. The Haiku Master, Yeah, coach, Yeah,
11:49
Speaker 1: great nominee.
11:50
Speaker 4: I mean it's obvious because he'll probably run away with
11:53
Speaker 4: this one.
11:53
Speaker 1: But I would like to see who you nominate Jonathan.
11:57
Speaker 2: I had coach mm hmm, but then my backup was
12:03
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's so much the funniest, but
12:05
Speaker 2: he just he had a lot of good moments.
12:07
Speaker 1: I thought Rick Devans did great. I think that's a
12:10
Speaker 1: great nominee.
12:10
Speaker 2: So that's it. I think he was funny. I think
12:12
Speaker 2: he's charming. I think that qualifies him for this funniest Castaway.
12:17
Speaker 1: PD your nominee. I'm gonna go with Emily.
12:20
Speaker 2: Ooh, a strong one. Yeah, that's a good one.
12:24
Speaker 1: Man. Specifically, the funniest moment from Emily was when Ozzie
12:28
Speaker 1: was doing his MOPI dinghis routine and Emily just looked
12:31
Speaker 1: around the room like what is happening?
12:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was pretty funny. She is a funny castaway.
12:37
Speaker 2: She's like very reactive, you know she is. It's not
12:40
Speaker 2: like a witty thing, but just her reactions. You're like, this,
12:43
Speaker 2: this person is so entertaining to watch.
12:46
Speaker 1: And the way that she played the game was funny.
12:48
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree.
12:50
Speaker 4: The way that she just kept flipping every time someone
12:52
Speaker 4: gave her information really made that that pre merged really.
12:55
Speaker 1: Entertaining from her, Christian being so upset with.
12:59
Speaker 4: Her yes, which leads to my nominee Funniest Castaway Christian.
13:04
Speaker 2: I mean, he ran the first four episodes of the season.
13:07
Speaker 2: What a delight he was to watch.
13:09
Speaker 1: Dude him pooping his pants like that too, That alone
13:13
Speaker 1: was good. The way that he would stare at Jeff
13:16
Speaker 1: when he answered the questions at tribal yes, yes, piercing
13:21
Speaker 1: into him.
13:23
Speaker 4: He's just also so good at confessionals. Everything he says
13:25
Speaker 4: is so funny.
13:27
Speaker 2: So that means the nominees for the Funniest Castaway Award
13:30
Speaker 2: is coach Rick Devins, Emily and Christian.
13:34
Speaker 1: That's a stacked category this year. Yeah, yes, he's a
13:37
Speaker 1: fifteen funny season. Really happy about that. All right, Now
13:41
Speaker 1: we have the game Changer. Oh no, no, no, Chase,
13:44
Speaker 1: you gotta do it.
13:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will gladly do it, guys.
13:50
Speaker 2: Next up, we got the Game Changer Award. This is
13:53
Speaker 2: the player or excuse me, heavens, this is not a
14:01
Speaker 2: player that we're nominating here. We are nominating the move
14:05
Speaker 2: that changed the game the most this season. Okay, so
14:10
Speaker 2: what did brand nominate for the Game Changer Award?
14:14
Speaker 1: You sound like a woman who works at a bank.
14:18
Speaker 1: I was doing Rory Scobel. No, no, no, that's not
14:21
Speaker 1: a woman who works at bank. She's gonna talk like this.
14:24
Speaker 1: That's a woman who Hey, sweetie, you're gonna slip honey. Yeah, yeah,
14:30
Speaker 1: I need you signed this right here. We're taking your house, Honey.
14:36
Speaker 1: You didn't have enough recourse to cash that. I'm afraid
14:40
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to take the house. Honey. I don't know.
14:42
Speaker 1: I can't. Your mortgage is passed him, bless him. Okay, Yeah,
14:47
Speaker 1: so Brand nominated and this was an off the wall pick.
14:51
Speaker 1: I don't think many people would have this, So props
14:54
Speaker 1: to Brand Brand for the Game Changer Award nominated Aubrey
14:57
Speaker 1: buying some motion off Etsy in practice at home.
15:01
Speaker 2: Yeah that could be the winner here, man, because it
15:03
Speaker 2: won or the game essentially.
15:05
Speaker 1: Yes, So this is basically the biggest move or the
15:08
Speaker 1: best move of the season.
15:09
Speaker 2: Does that count as preseason any part of the season
15:14
Speaker 2: that I'm saying anyway, that's what me fly. I'll allow it.
15:20
Speaker 4: I'm just so proud that Brand understood the awards this year.
15:23
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, so I'm willing to let this one fly. Look,
15:26
Speaker 1: and then when we would call him on not understanding
15:28
Speaker 1: the awards, he'd be like, whatever, y'all silly little awards
15:31
Speaker 1: show that y'all do two shows. He's really he's always
15:34
Speaker 1: been caught up on the fact that we do a
15:36
Speaker 1: nominations episode and then the results. He thinks it should
15:39
Speaker 1: be one show.
15:40
Speaker 4: Well, and that's why, you know, you would think you'd
15:43
Speaker 4: be happy as part of the network owners, because we're
15:46
Speaker 4: giving him two shows worth of money.
15:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're giving him sixty dollars instead of thirty. What
15:54
Speaker 1: come on, man? Yeah, all right, what do you have, chase.
15:58
Speaker 4: Ooh my nominee for with the Game Changer reward is
16:02
Speaker 4: Tiffany winning immunity when she was the one going home
16:06
Speaker 4: that night. That changed the final three big time.
16:11
Speaker 1: Got Sri out of the game. For Game Changer, I
16:13
Speaker 1: have Devin's doing the coin flip, you know. Oh yeah,
16:17
Speaker 1: that's a good one.
16:18
Speaker 2: Quite literally doubled the game, and so it's you know,
16:22
Speaker 2: he risked everything and went for the move when no
16:24
Speaker 2: one else was willing to, and it got him an idol,
16:29
Speaker 2: It kept him safe that night.
16:30
Speaker 1: It was a great move and made him even more
16:33
Speaker 1: of a legend to people. So oh yeah, well, now
16:37
Speaker 1: there's two that I think deserve to be nominated.
16:40
Speaker 4: Well, give us your favorite and then give us the
16:42
Speaker 4: second one it maybe we'll do five.
16:44
Speaker 1: Okay. I think SI's extra vote use. Yes, that she
16:52
Speaker 1: understood the assignment. She knew exactly how to use it,
16:55
Speaker 1: even though it caused a lot of confusion on this show. Yes,
16:59
Speaker 1: but she knew and she used it to save herself. Granted,
17:03
Speaker 1: I mean it only saved her for a week, but
17:06
Speaker 1: that's a valuable week. That's a ten thousand dollars a week. Yeah,
17:10
Speaker 1: it is something like that, maybe even more. That was
17:12
Speaker 1: a great move. And then we had Devin's with the
17:15
Speaker 1: fake idol with Christian. Oh, yeah, we gotta add that
17:19
Speaker 1: one on there.
17:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rizzo he kept his idol again. You know we
17:24
Speaker 2: we had that as a move last season where we
17:27
Speaker 2: were like, oh, the game changer was he kept his idol,
17:30
Speaker 2: And I think that's what he did. But I'm saying
17:33
Speaker 2: like I didn't want to do it again. I wrote
17:35
Speaker 2: it down as an extra, but then I was like,
17:38
Speaker 2: it's also the same, like it would be a first
17:40
Speaker 2: time two time nominee.
17:42
Speaker 4: I think if I think if Rizzo won the season,
17:46
Speaker 4: it would definitely have to be it got him the
17:49
Speaker 4: same thing as last time, which is out at fire
17:51
Speaker 4: making but still a great move.
17:53
Speaker 1: And is that all of them? Yeah?
17:55
Speaker 4: So our nominees for the Game Change reward or Aubrey
17:58
Speaker 4: buying some motion off of Etsy and practicing at home,
18:01
Speaker 4: Tiffany winning immunity when she was the one going home
18:03
Speaker 4: that night, Devon's doing the coin flip, Serre's extra vote move,
18:07
Speaker 4: and Devon's with the fake idol play.
18:11
Speaker 1: Can we do five in a poll on Instagram? Yeah,
18:13
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out. What we usually have to do is.
18:15
Speaker 2: We do four in a poll and then you can
18:17
Speaker 2: comment if you want the fifth one.
18:19
Speaker 1: So next up is something from our intro, the Big
18:24
Speaker 1: Mistake Award, Yes, the opposite of the Game Changer Award,
18:29
Speaker 1: And what brand chose for the Big Mistake was Ozzie
18:33
Speaker 1: telling Aubrey everything and using it to get him voted out. Yeah,
18:37
Speaker 1: that's the biggest mistake of the season by far, Well,
18:40
Speaker 1: second biggest mistake of the season by far. Jonathan, what's
18:44
Speaker 1: your nominee?
18:45
Speaker 2: I think I think the biggest mistake of the season
18:48
Speaker 2: is him not playing his eyes exactly, having a dream
18:51
Speaker 2: where you are like, oh, I should have played it
18:53
Speaker 2: and not doing it and blurt. I mean, he's just
18:56
Speaker 2: telling this whole game. I just don't understand why he
18:58
Speaker 2: didn't playze Idyl.
19:00
Speaker 1: Imagine having an evening so bad that you get nominated
19:03
Speaker 1: two separate times for the big mistake. Yeah, Pd, what's
19:08
Speaker 1: your nominee? Can you get another Ozzie one in there?
19:13
Speaker 1: Letting coach take the key? What the heck, dude? I
19:20
Speaker 1: thought you were about honor and integrity. Man, that's my
19:27
Speaker 1: MOPy dingis OSSI impressions. Dude, like I was going to
19:32
Speaker 1: get the key and we kind of had like a deal.
19:34
Speaker 1: I thought, Yeah, it's pretty good problem, thank you. My
19:38
Speaker 1: big mistake is gonna go to Charles Prince Charles for
19:43
Speaker 1: being so bitter about Maria, and he let him. He
19:46
Speaker 1: let it cost him the game.
19:48
Speaker 4: Dark Charlie as a big mistake, great pull because I
19:51
Speaker 4: wanted to bring him up at some point, I just
19:53
Speaker 4: couldn't find a good category. I almost did Funniest Castaway
19:57
Speaker 4: because him being so mad at Rizzo.
19:59
Speaker 1: Was a la.
20:00
Speaker 2: I feel like I almost wish I could do like
20:03
Speaker 2: swap out my Mike White gone too soon and do Charlie.
20:07
Speaker 1: Yeah too late. Now I should have thought about that
20:09
Speaker 1: thought about the swap seas.
20:12
Speaker 4: My big mistake nominee is Christian choosing to go on
20:17
Speaker 4: the journey that eventually got him voted out.
20:20
Speaker 1: Jimmy, Fallon, you made a mistake. That's another really stacked category.
20:25
Speaker 1: There's a lot of mistakes in fifty.
20:27
Speaker 4: That's how you know you had an entertaining season when
20:29
Speaker 4: people are fucking up left and right.
20:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, just making the weirdest decisions.
20:34
Speaker 3: Ye.
20:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a bummer with Christian. I forgot about that. Yeah.
20:37
Speaker 2: I mean he wouldn't have gone home if he didn't
20:38
Speaker 2: go to that journey. That's the bottom line. Makes me
20:41
Speaker 2: with wish Fallon would get Colbert, you know, just oh yeah,
20:44
Speaker 2: let's let's what many about that? Not to start talking
20:48
Speaker 2: about late night politics. Colbert was the number one in ratings,
20:52
Speaker 2: is like number four.
20:54
Speaker 1: It's crazy, isn't it. It's the same anyway, both have
20:57
Speaker 1: Ben and Jerry's flavors. They do. Are they gonna take
21:01
Speaker 1: away col bears? I don't know he's had that since
21:03
Speaker 1: the Comedy Central does. Okay, so it's probably say Fallon's
21:06
Speaker 1: Ben and Jerry's uh is the superior one. Hey, Chase,
21:10
Speaker 1: what were those nominees? Guys? The nominees were a big
21:14
Speaker 1: Mistake award.
21:14
Speaker 4: We have Ozzie telling Aubrey everything and getting him voted out,
21:18
Speaker 4: Ozzie not playing his idol, Dark Charlie, and Christian choosing
21:22
Speaker 4: to go on the journey. Okay, for this next category,
21:27
Speaker 4: I have a little proposal. Okay, I think we should
21:31
Speaker 4: move away from the term villain here and change it
21:36
Speaker 4: to controversy king or queen.
21:39
Speaker 1: Agent of chaos. Agent Ooh, I like that the Agent
21:42
Speaker 1: of Chaos award.
21:43
Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing about this, I I you should
21:46
Speaker 4: have pitched it ahead of time because my nominees were
21:48
Speaker 4: for villain.
21:49
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but it's kind of the same thing essentially. Okay.
21:53
Speaker 1: My point is that we don't really have villains in
21:55
Speaker 1: the way that we used to on the show, like
21:58
Speaker 1: only no, we didn't.
21:59
Speaker 2: Hey, you remember the jew comment, but remember when someone
22:04
Speaker 2: remember when someone used a slur.
22:06
Speaker 1: On h Here's my point. That didn't happen on the show,
22:10
Speaker 1: And if you just watched the show, you would have
22:12
Speaker 1: no idea Stephanie was a villain.
22:14
Speaker 2: It probably happened all the show, just without the cameras.
22:17
Speaker 2: I'm saying, like we used to have villains. A survivor
22:20
Speaker 2: really Uh, yeah, what would But chaos is I don't
22:25
Speaker 2: know if chaos works either, because that that feels like
22:28
Speaker 2: Rick could.
22:28
Speaker 1: Have done that.
22:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, Rick is an agent of chaos on the island.
22:32
Speaker 4: He was doing crazy stuff.
22:33
Speaker 1: I said controversy because Stephanie's thing you could classify as
22:37
Speaker 1: a controversy, but you can't call her a survivor villain
22:41
Speaker 1: based off of heirst. We got the Big Mistake Award,
22:43
Speaker 1: but we could do Big Trouble Award, like they're just
22:46
Speaker 1: there's trouble coming down the road.
22:48
Speaker 4: I don't like Big Trouble, but Bead by your own logic,
22:51
Speaker 4: her controversy happened outside of the season.
22:53
Speaker 1: You wouldn't have known about it if you watched just
22:55
Speaker 1: the season, and that's why I changed the award. Now, No,
22:59
Speaker 1: there are not four villains that you could nominate.
23:02
Speaker 4: I think when I when I think of villains in
23:05
Speaker 4: the New Era, I think of players who are the
23:07
Speaker 4: antagonist of two players.
23:09
Speaker 1: So for an example, we saw in Battle, Yeah, I
23:13
Speaker 1: guess we could.
23:14
Speaker 4: I don't know what's wrong with villain award. It doesn't
23:17
Speaker 4: mean that we're calling them evil. It's just their Villain
23:20
Speaker 4: of the Season award. Because it's like in the narrative
23:27
Speaker 4: between Joe and Rick Devins. Yeah, Joe was the villain
23:31
Speaker 4: in that narrative. Yeah, we're not saying he's a terrible person.
23:34
Speaker 1: Not to get bogged down here, but it's entirely my
23:39
Speaker 1: fault that we are bogged down. But I've had an
23:42
Speaker 1: issue with this award. Like in forty nine, Savannah wins
23:46
Speaker 1: Villain of the Season. I agree with that.
23:48
Speaker 4: I agree with what you're saying because I didn't feel
23:50
Speaker 4: like she was a villain at all. But that's honestly
23:52
Speaker 4: the people who voted and the person who nominated her.
23:55
Speaker 1: So it's the the negative audience perception award, despite the
23:59
Speaker 1: people not may they may or may not be villains,
24:02
Speaker 1: but the audience didn't like them, so they're a villain.
24:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's what a villain is, is it
24:07
Speaker 4: not the people that the audience didn't like.
24:09
Speaker 1: I guess the most hated award that feels meaner than villain. Yeah,
24:13
Speaker 1: Biggest Loser award. And that's why I was trying to
24:16
Speaker 1: couch it a little bit with controversy.
24:18
Speaker 2: Uh, you could do the antagonist award, Well, what was
24:21
Speaker 2: controversial about Joe? Because I think Joe fits into the villain.
24:24
Speaker 2: I don't know what he did that was controversial, But.
24:28
Speaker 1: Did he do that made him a villain other than
24:31
Speaker 1: being like.
24:31
Speaker 4: Boring when he did villainous things when he went up against.
24:35
Speaker 1: Von's talking about how much Grandmont did he throw socks
24:38
Speaker 1: in the fire. I'm just saying, like, I have trouble
24:41
Speaker 1: calling these people villains? Well, then what do you want
24:44
Speaker 1: to call them? I don't know. I guess we could
24:46
Speaker 1: just keep it the villain. But I think people out
24:49
Speaker 1: there will agree with me that they keep.
24:52
Speaker 4: All of this in because I see what you're saying, PD.
24:55
Speaker 4: I don't disagree with you. I just didn't like controversy. Yeah,
24:58
Speaker 4: controversy feels to uh, it feels like a pr name,
25:03
Speaker 4: you know. That's like what Stephanie did was a controversy. Yeah,
25:07
Speaker 4: and it was also villain. But then no one else
25:11
Speaker 4: had a controversy. They could have a controversial reception like
25:15
Speaker 4: one Joe Hunter, what about what about what's another word
25:21
Speaker 4: for villain that doesn't mean quite villain? Nemesis Award, the
25:26
Speaker 4: Nemesis Award.
25:27
Speaker 1: Maybe I should have presented this to you guys before
25:30
Speaker 1: we were live on the show. Possibly, Yeah, maybe I was.
25:34
Speaker 1: I was too busy reflecting in the forest. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
25:37
Speaker 1: you can't be expected to do everything. Jonathan should have
25:39
Speaker 1: stepped up and done something like this. This is what
25:42
Speaker 1: Jonathan should have brought to it. I thought I thought
25:44
Speaker 1: I had something with controversy, King or Queen.
25:48
Speaker 2: No, now the royalty, bad King or Queen killer Queen killer,
25:55
Speaker 2: the Killer Queen Award, Killer King Award. But then it's confusing.
25:59
Speaker 2: Now we're looking for murder, oh oh, and everything else.
26:01
Speaker 1: We've said this as if the MVP Award doesn't exist
26:07
Speaker 1: in this game.
26:08
Speaker 4: I feel like I've taken a pretty antagonistic stance against you.
26:11
Speaker 1: Bed.
26:12
Speaker 2: I agree with you, I just don't think you offered
26:14
Speaker 2: up a good alternative.
26:17
Speaker 1: Maybe it should be antagonist, because that's what we're getting
26:20
Speaker 1: at too. That works. I actually think antagonist award works. Yeah,
26:27
Speaker 1: but it means an award. Yeah, but I needed to
26:31
Speaker 1: change the definition or the name because the definition didn't
26:34
Speaker 1: match up in my mind. That's fair, that's fair. So
26:37
Speaker 1: what are we calling it? The antagonist Award? I'll give
26:40
Speaker 1: it to you. Since double King or Queen doesn't struck out,
26:45
Speaker 1: I'll go with yours. Yeah.
26:47
Speaker 2: I didn't mean for you to have to pick mine,
26:49
Speaker 2: by the way, I just know yours.
26:54
Speaker 1: I've just been getting bullied this whole show by Chase
26:56
Speaker 1: is because I showed up wearing a white shirt and
26:59
Speaker 1: him and John of them we're wearing white shirts already,
27:01
Speaker 1: and Chase is like, I'm just gonna try to ruin
27:03
Speaker 1: PD's whole day because we all came to the party
27:05
Speaker 1: wearing the same thing. Yeah.
27:08
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm bully of PD. I think
27:10
Speaker 2: I just wanted a change of pace.
27:12
Speaker 1: I know why Chase is coming after me, And it's
27:14
Speaker 1: something that Charlie x X touched on in her song
27:17
Speaker 1: Sympathy is a knife. Yeah. She said it's a knife
27:19
Speaker 1: when you're finally on top. And that's what it is.
27:21
Speaker 1: I'm on top and Chase is coming after me now
27:24
Speaker 1: that I'm the reigning and defending champion. You've seen right
27:27
Speaker 1: through me. Man, I'm really upset that PD is now.
27:30
Speaker 4: Was this three time or four time time, three time
27:33
Speaker 4: winner of the Draft Runaway Train this season?
27:36
Speaker 1: Dude? No, I mean it was clear he was winning
27:39
Speaker 1: out the get go. Yeah. Yeah, So we have I
27:43
Speaker 1: think three categories left. Oh wait, we never even got afore.
27:47
Speaker 1: We didn't we have five? We have five categories left.
27:51
Speaker 2: We didn't even talk about who we were nominating for
27:53
Speaker 2: the as.
27:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just got really bogged down in the.
27:56
Speaker 2: Discussion that I would have moved. Also, I cannot stress
28:03
Speaker 2: this enough. We have five categories left. Okay, okay, five categories. Okay,
28:07
Speaker 2: I'm yelling at me.
28:09
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to anybody listening to this. Why this is
28:12
Speaker 1: a great TV? Man? I guess so that's why.
28:14
Speaker 2: People are here, dude, Yeah, we're They're not here for
28:17
Speaker 2: things to go well.
28:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're here for the dumb podcast.
28:21
Speaker 2: They're here for the Kings of Chaos, the Controversial Kings.
28:27
Speaker 2: That's our new podcast name.
28:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure it's not taken, and we might be
28:32
Speaker 1: able to stretch this run time to an hour because
28:34
Speaker 1: of all this. Yeah, I think it's great. All right, guys,
28:37
Speaker 1: Jonathan or no Brand.
28:39
Speaker 4: Brand's nominee for the Antagonist Award is Stephanie. Stephanie. Yeah,
28:46
Speaker 4: I mean that one's the clear choice here, but.
28:49
Speaker 1: Went on she went on Instagram live and that's really yeah, PD,
28:57
Speaker 1: what is your nominee? My nominee for the Antagonist Award.
29:01
Speaker 1: It's gotta be Joe, yeah, because nobody else is blocking people.
29:05
Speaker 1: And then you have SII at the final tribal calling
29:10
Speaker 1: him a baby at Jation pulled.
29:13
Speaker 2: His pants down and spanked him right on national TV.
29:17
Speaker 2: So I think it's gotta be Joe Jonathan your nominee.
29:20
Speaker 2: My nominee is Coach because good, Yeah, he just the
29:25
Speaker 2: whole season, people like they wanted to be working with him,
29:29
Speaker 2: but at the same time, like they didn't trust him,
29:31
Speaker 2: and he was doing weird things.
29:33
Speaker 1: He takes keys from Ozzy. He's just he was too
29:36
Speaker 1: the man.
29:37
Speaker 2: Why did you It's a really good impression.
29:41
Speaker 4: Everyone loves to hate Coach. Great nominee, Jonathan, great contribution. Well,
29:45
Speaker 4: and I think he's the type of we'll use the
29:48
Speaker 4: term villain. I know that that's a little taboo around here, guys.
29:51
Speaker 1: Antagonist, tagonist, Oh okay, okay.
29:54
Speaker 2: I I think that he's the kind of antagonist that
29:59
Speaker 2: you just can't help but love that he's there, and
30:02
Speaker 2: that's the guy that you need on the show. In wrestling,
30:06
Speaker 2: there's go home heat, where it's like because they don't
30:09
Speaker 2: want to see you play, and then there's we love you,
30:12
Speaker 2: so we're gonna boo you because we love watching how
30:14
Speaker 2: entertaining you are. And that's definitely Coach my nominee.
30:18
Speaker 4: It was a curveball because I wouldn't have nominated this
30:21
Speaker 4: person until the live finale, the final Tribal Council. Chrissy
30:26
Speaker 4: became a huge villain or sorry antagonist.
30:29
Speaker 1: Antagonist that's right, because I mean you can't really. I
30:33
Speaker 1: think everything that I said bears out to be true
30:36
Speaker 1: with these nominations where these people aren't really villains. It's
30:40
Speaker 1: just their behavior outside of if you really are paying attention. Well,
30:45
Speaker 1: I could from the same cloth thing, but Chrissy, like
30:48
Speaker 1: I felt bad because I wanted to give her the
30:50
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. I was like, it's probably just
30:52
Speaker 1: a harmless phrase that she didn't mean anything by. And
30:55
Speaker 1: then as time went on, maybe she meant something by it.
30:59
Speaker 1: You know, the Republican Zoom Alliance.
31:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then pretty ironic for the Republican Zoom Alliance
31:11
Speaker 2: to then complain about the the votes about the.
31:14
Speaker 1: Watched the exit press because I think Joe came across
31:19
Speaker 1: so well, and then Jonathan was a big MOPI dingis.
31:24
Speaker 4: I think Tyler Perry may have invested in some publicity training,
31:30
Speaker 4: some media training for Joe before the finale because he
31:33
Speaker 4: was a lot.
31:33
Speaker 1: He was on it.
31:36
Speaker 4: Tyler Perry needed to protect his assets before this Fireman
31:39
Speaker 4: show comes out on Netflix.
31:41
Speaker 1: You can't even give it to him that he did
31:43
Speaker 1: good and then a lot of this stuff.
31:47
Speaker 4: He didn't own a lot of stuff because at one
31:49
Speaker 4: point he was being a baby about it. In one interview,
31:51
Speaker 4: he said that that there was a story, the story
31:55
Speaker 4: of the season between him and Devon's. He was the
31:58
Speaker 4: villain and Devon's was the hero, and he goes, That's
32:00
Speaker 4: not how it was, and it's like, just accept that
32:02
Speaker 4: you were being a dick to Devid's.
32:04
Speaker 1: Yeah.
32:05
Speaker 2: I think the thing with Joe that makes it so
32:09
Speaker 2: difficult is on the shows he's boring, but then he's
32:14
Speaker 2: also annoying. Then you see him off the show and
32:17
Speaker 2: you're like, wait a second, is this guy super nice?
32:20
Speaker 2: And you just can't like get a complete weird read
32:23
Speaker 2: on him.
32:24
Speaker 4: I think that I see right through him. Brother, I think, well,
32:27
Speaker 4: that pretends to be nice.
32:28
Speaker 1: I think so too, But sometimes you're like, am I crazy? Yeah?
32:33
Speaker 1: What sucks about it is that I was so close
32:36
Speaker 1: to being ahead of the curve on like supporting Joe publicly,
32:41
Speaker 1: and I brought it up on the Sanctuary and I
32:43
Speaker 1: was like, you know, what. I actually kind of feel
32:44
Speaker 1: bad for Joe. This is a pretty wild experience he's having.
32:47
Speaker 1: And Chase is like, no, we don't feel bad for
32:49
Speaker 1: Joe Tyler Perry blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah, and
32:51
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I guess I can't
32:53
Speaker 1: feel bad for him. So I was so close to
32:55
Speaker 1: having a take that was a little bit ahead of
32:58
Speaker 1: everybody else, and Chase dragged me down with him, well
33:00
Speaker 1: you shouldn't. You should learn to have your own opinions.
33:03
Speaker 1: And I just go with whatever I say.
33:04
Speaker 2: Man p D told me actually last night he called
33:07
Speaker 2: me and said, I think Stephanie off the show is
33:10
Speaker 2: pretty cool.
33:13
Speaker 1: Say what you will about her gameplay. I love her politics. Yeah,
33:16
Speaker 1: we had Marguerite Is at mar A Lanco.
33:19
Speaker 4: It was a good time, all right, guys. Next up
33:24
Speaker 4: is the Making the Merge MVP award. This is the
33:27
Speaker 4: player who did the most for our show personally.
33:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, our pot once again, the most confusing award on
33:33
Speaker 2: the list.
33:34
Speaker 1: We don't know because the MVP of the season is
33:36
Speaker 1: the winner, right right, right, So this is the MVP
33:40
Speaker 1: of who or.
33:41
Speaker 2: You could argue this season they weren't Who would you
33:43
Speaker 2: argue oh Si No, I would maybe argue serie, but
33:47
Speaker 2: I would also say you could argue that Rick Devons
33:50
Speaker 2: was the most valuable player because he added a million dollars.
33:53
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true. I thought you were about it.
33:55
Speaker 4: I thought you were about to say Jonathan like Jean
33:57
Speaker 4: Dre the Giant, And I was gonna be like, what.
34:00
Speaker 1: Planet would be living on if I was like, that's
34:03
Speaker 1: the most valuable guy out there. You've been living on
34:07
Speaker 1: the zoom plane. He's a champ. Yeah, he's this award.
34:13
Speaker 4: Typically, this award goes to whoever we talked about the
34:15
Speaker 4: most or whoever got us the most views on TikTok.
34:19
Speaker 1: And what was Brand's pick? Well, I don't know. Maybe
34:23
Speaker 1: I should ye Mike White, Mike. I think that he
34:29
Speaker 1: picked Mike White because he got to do.
34:31
Speaker 4: The Mike White impression a lot, and I think that
34:33
Speaker 4: that's a good pick.
34:34
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have nominated Mike White. I don't think. I
34:37
Speaker 1: can't mean one thing.
34:38
Speaker 2: We really talked about a ton about Mike, just his
34:42
Speaker 2: voice and his abs.
34:44
Speaker 4: Brand's nominating because he got to do the Mike White
34:46
Speaker 4: impression a bunch. It was a fun bit, you know
34:49
Speaker 4: that for Brand that was the m v P, and
34:51
Speaker 4: I I don't disagree.
34:52
Speaker 1: With him for that.
34:53
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna break my uh my ill mood
34:58
Speaker 2: and say that U Suri should be our MVP. And
35:03
Speaker 2: the reason I say this is because the running bit
35:05
Speaker 2: of me just being a SuRie hater and y'all fighting
35:08
Speaker 2: me on it and I'm just getting y'all stirred up.
35:11
Speaker 2: But also truly, she gave us so much to talk about,
35:15
Speaker 2: Like just every episode she was doing something that caused
35:19
Speaker 2: a lot of conversation, whether that was like the back
35:21
Speaker 2: and forth island stuff where she was somehow controlling that
35:27
Speaker 2: or her doing.
35:28
Speaker 1: The whole extra vote.
35:30
Speaker 2: I Suri added so much conversation for us, And I'm
35:35
Speaker 2: gonna be nice and nominator.
35:37
Speaker 1: I'm not a real hater. Guys. Yeah, No, I think
35:39
Speaker 1: it's a great pick PD. I think I have to
35:42
Speaker 1: go with Coach Yeah, because they had the excellent Jonathan
35:49
Speaker 1: giving us nicknames. Oh yeah, like Cracker the night Walker.
35:58
Speaker 1: I I think I named three of our episodes this
36:02
Speaker 1: season after Coach Coach Yeah.
36:05
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I mean the whole Haiku thing we lost
36:08
Speaker 2: you Chase, Chase, can you hear it?
36:11
Speaker 1: Chase? You turned into Robot and froze, Chase, and you're
36:15
Speaker 1: chomping at the bit to talk about that Coach Haiku sauce.
36:20
Speaker 1: I don't even remember what I was gonna say.
36:22
Speaker 4: I think I was just gonna agree that Coach was
36:23
Speaker 4: a great pick because the Haikus alone were such a
36:26
Speaker 4: fun thing that we talked about on the show.
36:28
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so we had I think, did everybody nominate
36:33
Speaker 1: one or did you not give yours yet? Chase?
36:35
Speaker 2: Uh No, I didn't give mine yet. My nominee for
36:37
Speaker 2: the Making the Merge MVP Award is Rick Devons. We
36:41
Speaker 2: had so much to talk about with Devons, the fake Idol,
36:43
Speaker 2: the Mister Beast coin flip, just him causing chaos on
36:47
Speaker 2: the on the island. Yeah, his relationship with Christian. I
36:53
Speaker 2: mean it was just a great, great, great attribution.
36:56
Speaker 1: Is that a word contribution? Contribute? Ah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
37:02
Speaker 1: great contribution to the show. Nice.
37:05
Speaker 2: The nominees for the Making the Merged MVP of War
37:08
Speaker 2: are Mike White, SuRie Coach, and Rick Devins.
37:13
Speaker 1: Hmmm, hey, Chase, great attribution.
37:20
Speaker 4: You know this perfectly sets us up for the next category,
37:22
Speaker 4: which is the Running Bit Award.
37:25
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, yep. And brand nominated the Mystery Voice aka
37:30
Speaker 1: Undisclosed Woman. It did really throw me off, Like I mean,
37:33
Speaker 1: it was like the hardest I've ever laughed on the show.
37:37
Speaker 1: Was ambushing you with that on the preseason show and
37:40
Speaker 1: you just having no idea what was happening.
37:43
Speaker 2: And I loved us am us both ambushing Chase with
37:49
Speaker 2: Undisclosed Woman, but us working together with her. Yeah, to
37:54
Speaker 2: throw him off on that one week and Chase be like, no, no, no,
37:58
Speaker 2: I really need you to break for a second.
38:00
Speaker 1: And tell me how this.
38:02
Speaker 4: Undisclosed Woman is truly PD's masterpiece. What a great bit.
38:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I pitched it to her, she was like,
38:09
Speaker 1: I don't understand why you want me to flirt with Jonathan,
38:12
Speaker 1: but I'll do it. Yeah.
38:15
Speaker 2: It worked out so great. It truly truly a genius move.
38:18
Speaker 2: That's most people.
38:20
Speaker 1: What is your nomination? My nomination? I think I'm gonna nominate.
38:27
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna work together. I just I said
38:31
Speaker 1: it probably thirty times over the course of the season,
38:35
Speaker 1: so I feel like I gotta go with it. Chase
38:37
Speaker 1: said it like that once when he was talking about
38:40
Speaker 1: Stephanie and Colby working together. He claimed that they probably
38:43
Speaker 1: had a preseason alliance, which I said, we have no
38:46
Speaker 1: idea if that's true, but it now it seems like probably. Yeah.
38:50
Speaker 4: I mean we knew immediately, we knew after the preseason interviews.
38:53
Speaker 1: I don't know why you doubt me, I said, I
38:56
Speaker 1: think let's give them the benefit of the doubt. It
38:59
Speaker 1: was again.
39:01
Speaker 2: I think the beauty of the I think is that
39:05
Speaker 2: it it was truly nothing, and then to take it
39:10
Speaker 2: and basically cram it down our throats until we were like,
39:13
Speaker 2: it's it's truly funny.
39:15
Speaker 1: Like it is. It is a masterclass of how to
39:18
Speaker 1: take something that is so normal and make it super weird. Uh. Yeah,
39:25
Speaker 1: that's a good one. And I made it a song.
39:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh that's true. You doubled down on it. I
39:31
Speaker 2: forgot about, Jonathan. What is your nominee for the Running
39:33
Speaker 2: Bit Award?
39:34
Speaker 1: Guys?
39:35
Speaker 2: You know you know I had to do jacket it
39:37
Speaker 2: for fifty Oh yeah. I feel like I fully I
39:41
Speaker 2: fully invested everything within my being to lie about my
39:45
Speaker 2: dead cat.
39:46
Speaker 1: God did I not nominate Jack the Cat? I don't know.
39:48
Speaker 2: Well, Jonathan, I'm glad you let me have it because
39:52
Speaker 2: it truly is. I feel like it's my masterpiece. And
39:56
Speaker 2: then to get Johnny fairplay to reveal to all that
40:00
Speaker 2: I lied about my cat and call y'all just all
40:04
Speaker 2: sorts of names.
40:05
Speaker 1: It was. It's I I feel like I couldn't have
40:07
Speaker 1: had it go any better. Yeah, that was like with
40:12
Speaker 1: that happened, I was like, this is everything that I
40:15
Speaker 1: wanted this show to be. Just Yeah, something so insane
40:20
Speaker 1: that you legitimately you tricked us all. We really felt
40:25
Speaker 1: bad for you. Yeah, for weeks and weeks genuinely felt
40:29
Speaker 1: bad for you our show and tells us all that
40:32
Speaker 1: this cat that all these people have been rallying around
40:35
Speaker 1: isn't even real.
40:36
Speaker 2: A lot had to line up for this, I mean
40:38
Speaker 2: I had to. I had to have a cat. I
40:40
Speaker 2: had to have a cat that would stay out of
40:42
Speaker 2: the way while we do video calls. Then I happened
40:44
Speaker 2: to have to be local and kind of know Johnny
40:48
Speaker 2: to where I could just message him and ask him,
40:51
Speaker 2: and then I had to continue.
40:52
Speaker 1: To just lie to y'all.
40:54
Speaker 2: So it just every piece of it somehow lined up enough,
40:59
Speaker 2: and y'all belie leaved it so quickly because of me
41:03
Speaker 2: doing a double lie where I was like, oh, y'all
41:05
Speaker 2: caught me. My cat actually died longer ago, like I
41:08
Speaker 2: had to, I had to really think it through.
41:10
Speaker 1: So it's my uh, it's my masterpiece.
41:15
Speaker 4: My nominee for the Running Bit Award is It's nothing
41:18
Speaker 4: to get upset about.
41:20
Speaker 1: Yeah.
41:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, I said that on the first episode of the
41:24
Speaker 4: season as a joke, and I just kept repeating it
41:27
Speaker 4: because I thought it would be funny as the guy
41:30
Speaker 4: who crashes out all the time to tell you guys
41:31
Speaker 4: that it's.
41:32
Speaker 1: No reason to get upset.
41:34
Speaker 4: It then immediately got turned back on me and was
41:38
Speaker 4: used against me more than it was against anybody else.
41:40
Speaker 1: And I think that's funny, and it's Chase it's nothing
41:45
Speaker 1: to get upset about. It's such a u a normal again,
41:49
Speaker 1: a normal phrase, like, hey, it's nothing to get upset about.
41:52
Speaker 1: But it's the way it's said to you is so
41:55
Speaker 1: just demeaning.
41:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, because.
42:00
Speaker 1: The way Chase set it up made sense. It would
42:03
Speaker 1: have been funny that way, but it was even funnier
42:05
Speaker 1: when Chase proceeds to have the worst draft in making
42:07
Speaker 1: the merch history, and then it's like people bring it
42:10
Speaker 1: up all the time. It truly is something to be
42:13
Speaker 1: upset about.
42:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what The amount of times that I screamed,
42:17
Speaker 4: it is. It is something to be upset about. He
42:20
Speaker 4: tells you how funny this bit really is.
42:24
Speaker 1: MOPI dingis.
42:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, that that was something to get upset about, because
42:28
Speaker 4: that's that's Ozzy's legacy.
42:29
Speaker 1: We're talking about right now, something to get upset dude.
42:32
Speaker 1: It's just like, I don't get it. It should have
42:35
Speaker 1: played just you had in your back pocket this Ozzy
42:38
Speaker 1: in personation. You never you don't use it for the
42:41
Speaker 1: whole sea, never thought of it. Then you start using
42:43
Speaker 1: it in the Awards nomination. It's just like it kind
42:48
Speaker 1: of sucks because we go through the whole season and
42:50
Speaker 1: it would have been really good to do on an episode.
42:53
Speaker 1: I know, season is over, and it's just like now
42:55
Speaker 1: is when I thought of it. It's like when I
42:57
Speaker 1: had that dream. Yeah, I get it. You just he
42:59
Speaker 1: was my player and you didn't want to do it
43:01
Speaker 1: when I was away. That's fair. Yeah, which was every week? Yeah,
43:05
Speaker 1: every other week. Okay, So we have undisclosed woman Jack
43:10
Speaker 1: the Cat. It's nothing to get upset about. And I
43:13
Speaker 1: think we're gonna work together.
43:15
Speaker 3: Yeah.
43:15
Speaker 2: Our next contributions yeah all around, Oh no, one that
43:20
Speaker 2: didn't even get nominated, The Great Contribution that kind of
43:23
Speaker 2: falls last season, right, We did that last season. It
43:27
Speaker 2: was still used heavily though, Yeah, but I think it
43:30
Speaker 2: has to be the season that it originated in.
43:33
Speaker 1: That's fair.
43:33
Speaker 2: But we talked about jacking it for fifty or we
43:39
Speaker 2: changed it. You wouldn't nominate Jack the.
43:42
Speaker 1: Cat for seats. That's fair. That's fair, you know, that's fair.
43:46
Speaker 1: Our next category is Quote of the Season.
43:49
Speaker 4: Just as a reminder, this is the quote from the
43:51
Speaker 4: Survivor season, not our podcast, so.
43:55
Speaker 1: The one that Brand nominated here. I don't know if
43:58
Speaker 1: this is an exact quote. It feels like it isn't.
44:02
Speaker 1: He said, quote, We're going to watch Rizzo losing a
44:05
Speaker 1: fire to Jonathan. Did Jeff say that? He did? He
44:08
Speaker 1: said it in the finale, but he didn't. He was like,
44:12
Speaker 1: anything can happen. Let's find out, you know, like, I
44:14
Speaker 1: don't think he said it that way? Did he He did?
44:16
Speaker 1: He did?
44:17
Speaker 2: There was there was a break and then it came
44:19
Speaker 2: back and he was like, you know, the fun thing
44:21
Speaker 2: about doing life and now is now let's go watch
44:23
Speaker 2: Rizzo lose fire. Making to Jonathan he said that in
44:26
Speaker 2: a break it was great.
44:28
Speaker 1: Okay, Well in that case, good, good contribution. Brim. Yeah.
44:32
Speaker 1: Good attribution, good attribution, Grab your boat by belt, all right,
44:39
Speaker 1: who wants to go next? Jorn? Yeah.
44:42
Speaker 2: This one I wept laughing, which this was last week.
44:48
Speaker 2: I wept laughing. Was when Rizzo spelled his name while crying.
44:57
Speaker 2: Because I don't know if you remember it, but he
44:58
Speaker 2: was like, I'm always telling people T Baby, and it
45:02
Speaker 2: literally made me lose my mind because it's the context
45:07
Speaker 2: of it was so serious and he's just crying, and
45:10
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden he just spells riz God baby, and.
45:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's.
45:17
Speaker 2: How can I be so good but so bad and
45:21
Speaker 2: so bad?
45:24
Speaker 1: T Baby? Like just so good, so good. That's a
45:29
Speaker 1: that's a good one. It's a sleeper. That's that's the one.
45:32
Speaker 1: P D your nominee. I'm gonna go with Siri saying
45:38
Speaker 1: that Joe's new home address is five hundred hypocrisy Hill.
45:42
Speaker 1: I was right there. Used that one too, dude. It's great.
45:46
Speaker 1: It was either that one or when she said about Ozzie.
45:50
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have tied my cart to a fucking idiot. Yeah,
45:54
Speaker 1: so I went with the hypocrisy Hill. She also said
45:57
Speaker 1: something about his brain at some point, right, She's said
46:00
Speaker 1: two brain cells to rub together.
46:02
Speaker 2: Yeah if he, if he, I wouldn't know if he
46:04
Speaker 2: had had two brain cells.
46:05
Speaker 1: To rub together.
46:08
Speaker 5: Uh.
46:08
Speaker 4: My nominee for Quote of this Season, I have two.
46:13
Speaker 4: Both of them are coach quotes. The first one being
46:16
Speaker 4: Yesterday's adversary is Today's enemy. Yeah, the adversary Award.
46:23
Speaker 1: Oh okay, we might do that. That's that fifteen minute
46:30
Speaker 1: conversation we had about naming the bit. They're actually gonna
46:34
Speaker 1: call it the adversary Award. It's yeah, it's gotta be right.
46:40
Speaker 4: And then the second, the second coach quote I'm going
46:44
Speaker 4: to pitch here is the I'm so clever that sometimes
46:47
Speaker 4: I don't understand a word that's coming out of my mouth.
46:50
Speaker 1: Dude. Oh that's good too, that's a great one. But yeah,
46:53
Speaker 1: the first one definitely so yeah, to go with their adversary.
46:58
Speaker 4: So that means that the nominees for the Quote of
47:01
Speaker 4: the Season award r We're going to watch Rizzo losing
47:05
Speaker 4: a fire to Jonathan Rizzo spelling his name while crying
47:10
Speaker 4: Joe's new address is five hundred hypocrisy Hill coach saying
47:15
Speaker 4: Yesterday's adversary is today's enemy, And I say we throw
47:18
Speaker 4: in a bonus one, which is I wouldn't have tied
47:21
Speaker 4: my cart to a fucking idiot.
47:22
Speaker 1: Yeah that's a fun one. But another bonus one could
47:26
Speaker 1: be from Christian talking about I'm living a farce talking
47:30
Speaker 1: about the.
47:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was so many great ones this season, but
47:36
Speaker 2: I think we nominated the best.
47:40
Speaker 1: And that brings us to Baby come Back and Brand
47:44
Speaker 1: nominated the Ricsgod Baby.
47:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, great nominee from Brand. I would love to see
47:51
Speaker 4: Rizzo come back. He's got such a good story to
47:54
Speaker 4: come back a third time. Imagine he comes back, loses
47:58
Speaker 4: the fire making again.
47:59
Speaker 1: I could see him coming back because Jeff seems to
48:03
Speaker 1: really like him.
48:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see him being like that. I want to
48:06
Speaker 2: give this young kid another shot at it.
48:08
Speaker 1: You know.
48:09
Speaker 4: Uh PD's brought this up, but it was reiterated again
48:12
Speaker 4: this week in the in the Survivor Press, Jeff saying
48:17
Speaker 4: sooner rather than later, we will see returning players again.
48:19
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna do a new Era All Stars,
48:22
Speaker 4: and I think we'll definitely see two players, the first
48:24
Speaker 4: one being Rizzo and then the next one being Tiffany.
48:28
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's why I wouldn't even nominate them for
48:32
Speaker 1: this because I feel like it's a pretty strong chance
48:35
Speaker 1: they're going to come back.
48:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was my reasoning as well for who I Yeah,
48:39
Speaker 4: but Jonathan, who did you nominate?
48:42
Speaker 1: I I wrote.
48:44
Speaker 2: Down Rizzo because I agree with that, but I would
48:48
Speaker 2: love to see Q come back. Yeah, you took mine,
48:54
Speaker 2: but I had a backup because I Q is just
48:56
Speaker 2: I would watch him play every season of Survivor.
48:59
Speaker 1: I just I don't feel like I got enough Q
49:02
Speaker 1: this season.
49:03
Speaker 4: What is it that Christian said in the preseason Q
49:05
Speaker 4: could play one hundred seasons of Survivor and he would
49:08
Speaker 4: never win one of them.
49:11
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was. That doesn't feel like
49:13
Speaker 1: a Christian quote, but I'm almost certain it was.
49:16
Speaker 2: But I'm fairly certain it was Christian. But here here's
49:21
Speaker 2: the real Christian quote. I bet I've analyzed all of
49:24
Speaker 2: the data and I've done all of the math. That
49:26
Speaker 2: would be like the starter of it. It would have
49:29
Speaker 2: to be some scientific way he put it.
49:31
Speaker 1: He was talking to and listen to those bloom interviews. Yeah,
49:35
Speaker 1: after knowing what we know now, that would be pretty cool.
49:38
Speaker 1: Pe d you're nominee. I'm gonna go with Devons. Yeah.
49:43
Speaker 1: I feel like two seasons of Devons is not enough.
49:47
Speaker 1: We need a third.
49:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, So yeah, you guys both took my two
49:52
Speaker 4: Q and DEVNS. I had a little bit of an
49:54
Speaker 4: asterisk beside Devons though, and I said, as host, dude, Okay.
49:59
Speaker 2: I saw these convers stations happening online, and I agree
50:03
Speaker 2: people saying the DEVNS would be a good Survivor host
50:06
Speaker 2: in the future.
50:07
Speaker 1: I think it's a slam dunk. Yeah, me too. So
50:11
Speaker 1: since you.
50:11
Speaker 4: Guys took my two main ones, I am going to
50:14
Speaker 4: nominate Kyle for the Baby Come Back Award. He is
50:19
Speaker 4: already a winner, but the way that he went out
50:21
Speaker 4: in season fifty rough, he was playing such a great game.
50:25
Speaker 1: I think he could have made it really far. There's
50:28
Speaker 1: a world where he won this season.
50:30
Speaker 4: He's a great, great player, and I would love to
50:32
Speaker 4: get to watch him play on a season that's not
50:35
Speaker 4: the you know, the Joe honor An Integrity season and
50:39
Speaker 4: then this season which he was already doing really cool.
50:42
Speaker 1: Stuff and then he got sent home way too soon.
50:45
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm going to nominate him here for Baby
50:47
Speaker 4: Come Back Honorary mentioned Emily Flippin'.
50:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd watch Emily again. I would also like to
50:53
Speaker 1: see Genevieve again. Honore mention.
50:57
Speaker 2: Just to see what happens, to see if we can
50:59
Speaker 2: get Chase at two for a third.
51:01
Speaker 1: She she got screwed out of the season.
51:03
Speaker 4: I would like to see him come back because she
51:04
Speaker 4: truly it wasn't her fault.
51:06
Speaker 1: She found two idols. Maybe I should have nominated her
51:10
Speaker 1: here because she just like the way that she got screwed.
51:14
Speaker 1: It was terrible. It was the blood she got screwed
51:16
Speaker 1: by the blood Moon and Billie Eilish.
51:18
Speaker 2: If you want two PD I'm I'm cool with you
51:21
Speaker 2: changing Devon's to Genevieve.
51:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I think Devon's he might win MVP, so
51:26
Speaker 1: let's put in there.
51:27
Speaker 4: And plus Devon's might come back as host, which I
51:30
Speaker 4: I've fallen in love with that now.
51:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think all the speculation around that is just
51:36
Speaker 1: coming from Drew. Yeah. In our app Drew from season
51:40
Speaker 1: forty five, he's like, he was like, I think that
51:42
Speaker 1: Devons might be the next tost to the show. It's
51:45
Speaker 1: just such a great.
51:46
Speaker 2: He's got the most experienced he's got like I mean,
51:48
Speaker 2: even watching the finale and when he would be like
51:51
Speaker 2: standing with Jeff and like talking with the mic, I
51:54
Speaker 2: was like, yes, dude, is so comfortable. But I mean
51:56
Speaker 2: that's because it's already his job. But and he knows
51:59
Speaker 2: he just makes Survivor entertaining. I think that what would
52:03
Speaker 2: be most likely to happen is that Devins could step
52:07
Speaker 2: up as a host role. It's not gonna happen in
52:09
Speaker 2: the next five seasons, but eventually he could step up
52:12
Speaker 2: at the host role. Probes is still the showrunner, and
52:16
Speaker 2: then maybe even eventually Devin's could take over a showrunner
52:18
Speaker 2: because I do think he has great.
52:20
Speaker 1: Ideas of what makes Survivor work.
52:22
Speaker 2: I could see them doing some sort of a test
52:24
Speaker 2: run with him where it's like an off season thing
52:27
Speaker 2: where they're like, we brought together ten.
52:29
Speaker 1: Influencers from online, and we're doing this ten.
52:32
Speaker 2: Day Survivor oh like by devns, like almost like a
52:37
Speaker 2: YouTube exclusive like Survivor series. Like, that's a great idea,
52:41
Speaker 2: Jonathan test that audience stuff.
52:43
Speaker 1: So that's a really great I would just throw him
52:45
Speaker 1: into the fire.
52:48
Speaker 2: You gotta be careful with that, PD. The Survivor fans
52:50
Speaker 2: are toxic. You gotta be careful.
52:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, but who cares what they think? You know. I
52:54
Speaker 1: have turned off all notifications for anything about Survivor. That's
52:58
Speaker 1: why I mean too Forrest. See that's Survivor bubble.
53:02
Speaker 2: That's why you do a thing where you say it's
53:05
Speaker 2: in the hands of the fans, but in reality.
53:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We don't who cares if
53:14
Speaker 1: the YouTube comments are positive or whatever. I don't care
53:17
Speaker 1: if how the online nerds feel about Devon's put devons on.
53:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree, PD Yeah, Nerds, Nerds.
53:26
Speaker 1: Yeah. But I have a pitch for the season that
53:29
Speaker 1: is all that revolves around Nerds. I'll say, oops, all reporters, no, No.
53:37
Speaker 2: The nominees for the Baby Come Back Award are Rizzo, Q, Genevieve,
53:42
Speaker 2: and Kyle.
53:45
Speaker 1: Hmmm, pretty good nominations. Anyways, My my pitch for a
53:51
Speaker 1: season about nerds is New Era, All Stars, Ruthless Nerds.
53:56
Speaker 1: It's like the take all of the game bots who
54:02
Speaker 1: were just obsessed with like strategy and backstabbing each other,
54:06
Speaker 1: put all of them on a season together. Yeah. I
54:10
Speaker 1: think clusters.
54:12
Speaker 4: Let's uh, In the past, we've done a whole episode
54:15
Speaker 4: where we just all pitched theme seasons. Yeah, now that
54:20
Speaker 4: we're in the open era and theme seasons are back
54:22
Speaker 4: on the table, what if we what if we did
54:25
Speaker 4: a YouTube video in the off season where we all
54:27
Speaker 4: get together and we pitch theme seasons.
54:30
Speaker 1: I think that would be fun, be fun. It's like
54:32
Speaker 1: the open era of the making the Merged podcast this offseason. Potentially,
54:37
Speaker 1: I'll sprinkle out there real quick.
54:40
Speaker 2: All politicians would be crazy.
54:45
Speaker 1: Choose the politicians.
54:46
Speaker 2: Well, okay, I say politicians, but I'm saying all people
54:49
Speaker 2: who work in politics.
54:51
Speaker 1: How about that?
54:52
Speaker 2: Like they bring it like John love it, like people
54:55
Speaker 2: like local government people. Oh he's not like a senator,
54:58
Speaker 2: but he works in politic some right speeches.
55:00
Speaker 1: He's like the mayor of a small town in Virginia. Yes, yeah, yeah,
55:05
Speaker 1: ham BONDI could do it. Thank you guys so much
55:08
Speaker 1: for listening. Wait what are y'all doing? But you got
55:10
Speaker 1: we got one more? What are you talking about? Well?
55:14
Speaker 1: The song of the season? Brand Brand didn't dominated skip
55:18
Speaker 1: that one? WHOA? Well he could?
55:23
Speaker 2: We could nominate the one that he did because I
55:26
Speaker 2: wrote it that it's one of my options. He did
55:29
Speaker 2: the Sea Chandelier that was first.
55:33
Speaker 1: On that one. He did the the Jena song is
55:35
Speaker 1: really good too. Yeah? Did he also do the the
55:39
Speaker 1: one is the Lonely? Is that the Gena one? When
55:43
Speaker 1: he did the one see yeah, that was general. That
55:46
Speaker 1: was yeah. Yeah, I'm nominating the GENA one. Let me
55:49
Speaker 1: just say that. Okay, so we have two brands.
55:53
Speaker 2: I'm well, I'm gonna nominate Mike's Way, my friend. Oh
55:58
Speaker 2: that was a good one because I gave it everything.
56:02
Speaker 1: That was a good one. Yeah, I was gonna go
56:05
Speaker 1: with Mike's Way, But.
56:07
Speaker 2: Well, how about this, let's swap PD because I'll nominate
56:10
Speaker 2: your I think we should work We could work together,
56:13
Speaker 2: so Stephanie, because that one did make me laugh, and
56:17
Speaker 2: and that one's one of my favorite songs in real live.
56:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think p D? Yeah, okay, sounds good.
56:23
Speaker 1: I nominate, nominate.
56:25
Speaker 4: Also, so the nominees for Song of the Season are
56:28
Speaker 4: Jenna the parody of One is the Loneliest Number, Uh,
56:33
Speaker 4: Mike's Way a parody of My Way, Frank Sinatra, Uh,
56:38
Speaker 4: the Sea Chandelier parody.
56:41
Speaker 2: And then I think we should work together a song
56:44
Speaker 2: which was a parody of Not as Good as I
56:47
Speaker 2: Once was.
56:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, great songs this season. I think the songs are
56:55
Speaker 4: what really makes us stand out. The fans love the songs.
56:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, so a good thing we stopped doing them for
57:00
Speaker 1: the back half. We loaded up the front half with songs. Man,
57:04
Speaker 1: we front loaded this thing.
57:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm sure one thing that me and PD
57:09
Speaker 4: have been talking about recently is how I think we
57:13
Speaker 4: expected our podcast for season fifty to go a certain way.
57:18
Speaker 4: But because season fifty is such a big season and
57:20
Speaker 4: all of them are returning players, they kind of already
57:23
Speaker 4: have their own stories written.
57:25
Speaker 1: I think where we thrive is.
57:27
Speaker 2: When we have a whole bunch of new people that
57:29
Speaker 2: we've never heard of, and we kind of shape the
57:32
Speaker 2: narrative of who they.
57:33
Speaker 1: Put they are Detective SIGGRETTI.
57:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, Detective Siggrette and stuntman David, you know, all that
57:41
Speaker 4: fun stuff. So I'm very, very excited for season fifty one.
57:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's open. It's all open. We're in the
57:47
Speaker 1: open era. It's all back on the table. The preseason
57:52
Speaker 1: shows are really some of my favorite shows that we do,
57:54
Speaker 1: Like the ones where we have these eighteen to twenty
57:57
Speaker 1: new people and like we're presenting them down everybody for
58:00
Speaker 1: the first time. Yeah, I mean Mike Bloom is really
58:03
Speaker 1: presenting them to everybody, and then we present what Mike
58:05
Speaker 1: Bloom presented.
58:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we do it in like we take what
58:09
Speaker 4: Mike Bloom does, which is like telling their true character
58:12
Speaker 4: and we twist them into a weird caricature that we
58:14
Speaker 4: can use.
58:15
Speaker 1: For comedy pretty much.
58:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, can I not to backtrack here, but you brought
58:20
Speaker 2: up David. I just want to say that when the
58:24
Speaker 2: jury happened, I leaned over to Christine and I said, knock, knock,
58:28
Speaker 2: because without fail, anytime I see the jury, I.
58:31
Speaker 1: Think of damn God. But he's a player that needs
58:34
Speaker 1: to come back. Yeah, him and Jake, who's there? Not me?
58:38
Speaker 1: You know, you're like, all right.
58:41
Speaker 4: I recently saw the clip pop up online from when
58:44
Speaker 4: Kyle and David were talking and David's like, I live
58:46
Speaker 4: in a trailer in my dad's yard.
58:48
Speaker 1: And Kyle goes, oh, nice, and he goes, no, it's
58:50
Speaker 1: not nice. It's not nice. It's not I got man.
58:56
Speaker 1: I loved in hindsight. I really like it.
59:00
Speaker 2: I mean, I know he was problematic at parts, but
59:03
Speaker 2: God was he entertating to watch it in life those
59:06
Speaker 2: first six weeks. So season forty eight, Yeah, the next
59:11
Speaker 2: next week we will be back with the awards ceremony
59:15
Speaker 2: where we will announce the winners of all of these
59:18
Speaker 2: nominees these awards. So don't forget to stick around for that, Peter,
59:24
Speaker 2: you got anything else we need to talk about?
59:26
Speaker 1: Maybe we could just rehash the Adversary Award, spend like
59:30
Speaker 1: ten minutes deciding on a different name, you know, Adversaries
59:34
Speaker 1: locked in. What do you guys think is gonna happen
59:36
Speaker 1: for season fifty one in terms of how insane our
59:39
Speaker 1: show is? I feel like it got pretty off the
59:42
Speaker 1: rails a lot of the time for season fifty which
59:44
Speaker 1: makes sense. It's the biggest season. I think, yeah, drove
59:47
Speaker 1: us all a little crazy. I mean, it made Jonathan
59:49
Speaker 1: become a complete villain. Do you think anyone we rein
59:52
Speaker 1: it in a little bit or it goes even more
59:54
Speaker 1: off the realm?
59:54
Speaker 3: You know?
59:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe maybe we don't go too big.
59:57
Speaker 4: I think we reined in next season. I think next
59:59
Speaker 4: season and we uh, we don't go off the rails
1:00:02
Speaker 4: and we become a very professional analytical show.
1:00:06
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, see it. Right now we're like the ESPN
1:00:09
Speaker 1: Morning Zoo Sports Radio surviving podcast. I think this next
1:00:13
Speaker 1: season we're more of an NPR tiny desk. Oh I
1:00:18
Speaker 1: like that.
1:00:19
Speaker 2: I think we just pull our punches so that we
1:00:22
Speaker 2: can end up on the red carpet at the premieres
1:00:25
Speaker 2: and stuff like that you know.
1:00:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, it did it infuriate you guys when you saw
1:00:31
Speaker 4: people that were at the Survivor Live finale that had
1:00:33
Speaker 4: less followers than.
1:00:34
Speaker 1: Us a little bit, A little bit. It's because they're
1:00:39
Speaker 1: afraid of us. Man. No, the trap that you're about
1:00:43
Speaker 1: to put us into. The trap that's never gonna get
1:00:46
Speaker 1: us there. So what I'm gonna say to what Chase
1:00:48
Speaker 1: just said is that, no, I think everybody works really hard,
1:00:53
Speaker 1: and I think, who was What are you gonna say?
1:00:58
Speaker 4: But what I was gonna say is I have a
1:00:59
Speaker 4: great bit for Dex season where we should have someone
1:01:02
Speaker 4: be standards and practices and whenever we get into an
1:01:06
Speaker 4: area where we think we might not get invited to
1:01:09
Speaker 4: a Survivor event, they have to jump in and censor us.
1:01:13
Speaker 2: Kind of like uh and remember Cyrus, PD and ECW.
1:01:18
Speaker 2: The network, Yeah, the network has to step in. What
1:01:21
Speaker 2: we need to We need to make a character that.
1:01:23
Speaker 4: Is a CBS executive who steps in and shuts us down.
1:01:26
Speaker 1: When we get too off the rails.
1:01:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I just want to double down on what
1:01:31
Speaker 2: pdsay it says and say that I think everyone works
1:01:36
Speaker 2: really hard, and I just wish that we could tell
1:01:39
Speaker 2: when we listen to their shows.
1:01:41
Speaker 1: You know, see that in the what Jonathan just did
1:01:47
Speaker 1: is what we in the business call a backhanded compliment.
1:01:51
Speaker 1: That was a great job of the those funny good
1:01:54
Speaker 1: great contribution, Jonathan, but really great contributions from everybody in
1:01:58
Speaker 1: the Survivor community. And that's why anybody who is asked
1:02:01
Speaker 1: to be there I think deserves it, and I think
1:02:03
Speaker 1: that they did a great job covering the event, and
1:02:05
Speaker 1: I just wish that maybe one day we could be
1:02:08
Speaker 1: considered for something like that.
1:02:09
Speaker 2: When they do it, they uncover those events because you know,
1:02:13
Speaker 2: like they just need all that help.
1:02:15
Speaker 1: That's what I say. Yeah, I think they.
1:02:18
Speaker 2: Need to get a good influx of actual entertainment. So
1:02:20
Speaker 2: they should probably invite us.
1:02:21
Speaker 1: Next time they Yeah, I don't know. I just haven't
1:02:25
Speaker 1: really been thinking about it that much.
1:02:26
Speaker 2: In the forest, make sure everyone goes and votes over
1:02:31
Speaker 2: on our Instagram at Survivor Pod.
1:02:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have that handle. You think that it would
1:02:38
Speaker 1: get us an invite. One of the best decisions we
1:02:41
Speaker 1: ever made was like noone's use of that. Everybody has
1:02:44
Speaker 1: great handles, and everybody who's asked to be there, I
1:02:47
Speaker 1: think they have something special inside them. They have the talent,
1:02:51
Speaker 1: They have a voice, they have a.
1:02:52
Speaker 2: Perspective, they have the weight handles if you're trying to
1:02:55
Speaker 2: stay under the radar, Yes, I love. This should be
1:03:01
Speaker 2: your gimmick for next season. You just didn't soult everyone.
1:03:06
Speaker 2: All right, guys, let's get out of here.
1:03:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. This has been the Merger Awards and
1:03:13
Speaker 1: it's nothing to get upset about. You're about to hear
1:03:17
Speaker 1: some ads that helped keep the lights on here in
1:03:19
Speaker 1: the old studio. Thanks for listening or don't listen. It's
1:03:24
Speaker 1: really up to you at this point. It's at the
1:03:27
Speaker 1: end of the show. I mean, you're listening to me Hi.
1:03:30
Speaker 1: But here they come. I promised they're coming. Yep, here
1:03:33
Speaker 1: they are. Happy Day.
