On this Sanctuary... we're writing letters

## Transcript

[0:00] Speaker 1: Where's that theme? There it is.
[0:03] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[0:27] Speaker 1: Welcome to the Sanctuary and welcome to Making the Merge
[0:31] Speaker 1: where we are always fair and balanced. I'm joined by
[0:35] Speaker 1: Chase on this episode and Justin and Jax are here.
[0:39] Speaker 3: Yay! J and J are back, baby.
[0:42] Speaker 1: That's right. Today we're writing open letters to the castaways. Chase,
[0:49] Speaker 1: still unclear on what an open letter is, but we're
[0:52] Speaker 1: going to go first. I'm such an airhead. Yeah, you
[0:56] Speaker 1: know what? And I'm an edgelord, and that's why I
[0:58] Speaker 1: brought it up.
[1:00] Speaker 2: And Jax is fair, and I'm balanced.
[1:02] Speaker 1: Yes. Well, what are you, Justin?
[1:06] Speaker 3: Balanced.
[1:08] Speaker 2: Just balanced.
[1:09] Speaker 4: Jax is fair. I think Petey thought that you said
[1:12] Speaker 4: that Jax was fair and unbalanced.
[1:17] Speaker 3: That's also true.
[1:19] Speaker 2: That's why I have to be balanced.
[1:23] Speaker 1: Makes sense. Can we talk about something that you brought
[1:26] Speaker 1: to our attention in the group chat, Justin?
[1:29] Speaker 2: Obviously.
[1:29] Speaker 1: Actually, if you could read it for us, because I
[1:32] Speaker 1: think you know what I'm talking about, right? It was
[1:33] Speaker 1: a comment that was made on Jeff's field notes.
[1:37] Speaker 2: I am a bit concerned that if you read, oh
[1:40] Speaker 2: my God, sorry, I.
[1:41] Speaker 5: Just saw something else. I went to a thing yesterday
[1:45] Speaker 5: and it popped up. Sorry, I need to focus up.
[1:48] Speaker 1: Get it together, Justin.
[1:49] Speaker 2: Get it together, Justin.
[1:50] Speaker 1: I need you to be balanced.
[1:53] Speaker 2: I'm back to Pinkfair. So I'm afraid this is a
[1:56] Speaker 2: bit of a spoiler. Maybe. Maybe.
[2:00] Speaker 1: Maybe. She's the one who said it publicly, so it's
[2:02] Speaker 1: on her if it is.
[2:03] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[2:05] Speaker 5: We were going through the field notes, comments, as one
[2:07] Speaker 5: is wont to do, and... W.V.Maggie, a.k.a. Maggie from Survivor,
[2:13] Speaker 5: commented on Jeff's field notes. Wow, dot, dot, dot, interesting, dot, dot, dot.
[2:18] Speaker 2: Field notes, colon.
[2:20] Speaker 5: Two pages dedicated to Lewis and his blood ring, dot, dot, dot,
[2:23] Speaker 5: question mark, thinking emoji. Hero shot of Brady, vomit emoji.
[2:29] Speaker 5: No one else mentioned, dot, dot, dot, question mark, tribal two, colon.
[2:34] Speaker 5: Kilby and Lewis made a big move, heart emoji.
[2:37] Speaker 2: Seems like you missed.
[2:38] Speaker 5: Something, dot, dot, dot, question mark, thinking emoji, eyes emoji,
[2:42] Speaker 5: spicy lady dancing emoji.
[2:45] Speaker 1: Is that the name of that emoji?
[2:47] Speaker 2: Yes. That's her Christian name. Yes.
[2:49] Speaker 4: Spicy lady.
[2:51] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[2:52] Speaker 4: Yeah, man. It comes across like someone who didn't win
[2:55] Speaker 4: a million dollars.
[2:58] Speaker 2: Which is devastating.
[3:00] Speaker 5: But we'll get to that in a little bit because
[3:02] Speaker 5: my letter, a little teaser, I might have chosen Maggie.
[3:07] Speaker 3: I'd be disappointed if you didn't or, or guys, let's
[3:10] Speaker 3: think about it like this.
[3:11] Speaker 6: It could also be, she does win, but Jeff, even
[3:16] Speaker 6: after all that, cause we know he doesn't even respect
[3:18] Speaker 6: the women winners as much. He still doesn't give her
[3:21] Speaker 6: the respect she deserves. And she's even better about that.
[3:25] Speaker 3: What do y'all think?
[3:27] Speaker 1: Well, Chase, what do you think? You seem to have
[3:29] Speaker 1: some opinions.
[3:30] Speaker 4: Look, I do think that there is a possibility that
[3:33] Speaker 4: she won a million dollars, but she didn't have a
[3:34] Speaker 4: good experience, and so she's just being however she wants. Because,
[3:38] Speaker 4: I mean, when you win, fuck you money. You can
[3:43] Speaker 4: say fuck you things.
[3:44] Speaker 1: When you get that much money, you don't care about
[3:46] Speaker 1: little things, about your perception.
[3:49] Speaker 4: I do think that is the case.
[3:51] Speaker 5: I do fear, though, that it's probably not fuck you money.
[3:55] Speaker 5: Because this is a woman, following her on Instagram has
[3:57] Speaker 5: been such a delight. This is a woman who is, like,
[4:01] Speaker 5: learning sign language. People that are learning sign language don't have, like,
[4:07] Speaker 5: the term fuck you money in their head.
[4:09] Speaker 2: That's true.
[4:10] Speaker 4: Well, I can sign it for you if you like.
[4:12] Speaker 2: Actually, I would love that.
[4:14] Speaker 3: Oh, no.
[4:15] Speaker 2: Oh, he's fingerspelling over here, boys and girls.
[4:17] Speaker 1: I see you.
[4:18] Speaker 2: I see you.
[4:18] Speaker 3: Do you know sign language, Chase?
[4:21] Speaker 4: I took three semesters of it in college. Couldn't do
[4:24] Speaker 4: anything other than the alphabet.
[4:25] Speaker 3: That's still impressive.
[4:26] Speaker 1: Chase just wrote, I also hate the women winners, just
[4:29] Speaker 1: like Jeff.
[4:30] Speaker 4: Yeah, but I did it in sign language so nobody
[4:32] Speaker 4: could hear me.
[4:33] Speaker 2: Yes.
[4:35] Speaker 3: Chase, is that what you actually said?
[4:37] Speaker 2: No.
[4:37] Speaker 4: No, I spelled fucking money.
[4:42] Speaker 2: But I'll start.
[4:42] Speaker 4: Yeah, you start.
[4:44] Speaker 2: I'll start in the background just doing the Chase thing.
[4:47] Speaker 2: hates everybody thing.
[4:48] Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah oh yeah like from the live show
[4:51] Speaker 1: chase hates women yeah.
[4:53] Speaker 3: Yeah that was oh man can't wait to do it again.
[4:58] Speaker 1: I can't either but there's one more thing about that
[5:00] Speaker 1: maggie comment and i think it's the the puke emoji
[5:04] Speaker 1: after brady i'm like that feud must not get resolved.
[5:08] Speaker 4: Yeah or it could be just because she doesn't like
[5:12] Speaker 4: his personality in general.
[5:14] Speaker 3: Or they're all having fun together.
[5:17] Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
[5:17] Speaker 6: This is what happens. Like, Harv does this all the time.
[5:22] Speaker 6: And then she, like, texts people and she's like, wait,
[5:24] Speaker 6: are we cool? We're kind of just doing this for fun, right? Like,
[5:26] Speaker 6: I think, I don't know, guys.
[5:28] Speaker 1: You know how many times Chase has done that to
[5:30] Speaker 1: me after a podcast? Yeah, I feel bad a lot.
[5:33] Speaker 1: I can't help it.
[5:35] Speaker 3: You actually are such a sweetheart.
[5:37] Speaker 4: I'll spend a straight hour just dogging PD and then
[5:40] Speaker 4: afterwards be like, hey, we're still friends, right?
[5:42] Speaker 2: Yeah. There's going to be a day. There's going to be.
[5:48] Speaker 4: A day where the message isn't what you want.
[5:50] Speaker 1: There's going to be a day where I just quit.
[5:55] Speaker 1: You know what? I want to get into these letters,
[5:58] Speaker 1: and I actually recorded mine, the first one I have, pre-recorded.
[6:03] Speaker 1: So I'm going to play this now. It's a little long.
[6:09] Speaker 1: Dearest Maggie and Kelly, I write because of a need
[6:15] Speaker 1: to express an array of nuanced feelings that I have
[6:18] Speaker 1: towards the both of you. I'll start with Maggie. Maggie,
[6:24] Speaker 1: I said many times that I hated you.
[6:26] Speaker 4: And that was unfair.
[6:28] Speaker 1: You could have taken the easy way out last Wednesday,
[6:31] Speaker 1: but you looked at the situation and crafted an insane
[6:34] Speaker 1: plan to maximize chaos and potentially grab power for yourself.
[6:39] Speaker 1: I do commend you for that. And from your Instagram,
[6:43] Speaker 1: you seem like a nice lady. So now I'd like
[6:45] Speaker 1: to address Kilby, the big bad booty daddy.
[6:50] Speaker 4: That's right.
[6:52] Speaker 1: You were given an opportunity, and many players in your
[6:55] Speaker 1: position wouldn't have wanted to rock the boat. But you
[6:58] Speaker 1: rocked the shit out of that boat. And it made
[7:01] Speaker 1: for a tribal council that we'll never forget. And you've
[7:03] Speaker 1: commented on our YouTube videos. So at the end of
[7:06] Speaker 1: the day, I like you. You know, to Maggie... and
[7:09] Speaker 1: kill me both. I genuinely want to say, that's how
[7:13] Speaker 1: you do it on Survivor. However, I am not an
[7:19] Speaker 1: objective viewer of Survivor. And the direct result of your
[7:23] Speaker 1: actions put my team in a bad position. So Maggie,
[7:27] Speaker 1: while what you did was good for TV, you making
[7:31] Speaker 1: my star player Linnea the target was a mistake.
[7:35] Speaker 2: Fuck you.
[7:39] Speaker 1: And why was it a mistake? It was a mistake
[7:43] Speaker 1: because I declare vengeance on you and Kilby. I don't
[7:52] Speaker 1: think that was dramatic enough. I'm going to grab my guitar.
[7:56] Speaker 4: Maggie and Kilby, I declare vengeance on.
[8:04] Speaker 2: You.
[8:17] Speaker 1: That was it.
[8:18] Speaker 2: What the fuck is wrong with you?
[8:24] Speaker 1: Just processing my emotions and letting Maggie and Kilby know
[8:27] Speaker 1: I declare vengeance on them.
[8:28] Speaker 4: Oh my God.
[8:29] Speaker 1: So their games aren't going to end well.
[8:31] Speaker 4: My favorite part was when you tried so hard, but
[8:34] Speaker 4: you couldn't, you broke character. You couldn't help it.
[8:38] Speaker 1: Like when I laughed after I said.
[8:39] Speaker 4: Fuck you. Yeah, because you could have edited that out,
[8:42] Speaker 4: but you didn't, and I appreciate that.
[8:46] Speaker 6: I'm going to change my ringtone from strawberry shortcake to
[8:51] Speaker 6: that last, what is it called?
[8:53] Speaker 3: Screamo? What is it called? I enjoy it.
[8:55] Speaker 4: Some people call it that.
[8:57] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[8:57] Speaker 4: What do you call it, Petey?
[8:59] Speaker 1: I call it screaming.
[9:00] Speaker 4: Oh, okay. Hey, every time you said me, you doing that,
[9:08] Speaker 4: It never sounds like you. I still have a disbelief
[9:11] Speaker 4: that it's actually you doing it.
[9:14] Speaker 1: Well, it's me with a little distortion and a little reverb.
[9:16] Speaker 4: That's crazy.
[9:18] Speaker 6: Is that multiple times a week that he's doing that?
[9:23] Speaker 1: I basically do it every day. Just by myself, not recorded.
[9:26] Speaker 5: I'm trying to figure out how to access that voice.
[9:30] Speaker 2: Like... It's crazy. It's crazy.
[9:37] Speaker 1: You go like, and then you try. I don't know.
[9:41] Speaker 1: It's hard to explain.
[9:42] Speaker 4: Hey, real quick.
[9:44] Speaker 1: Real quick.
[9:44] Speaker 4: Petey, did your fire alarm or smoke detector just beep?
[9:49] Speaker 1: Did it?
[9:49] Speaker 4: I don't know. There's no batteries in mine.
[9:51] Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
[9:52] Speaker 3: Do you have a carbon monoxide detector, too?
[9:55] Speaker 1: I think I'll just smell it.
[9:57] Speaker 3: You can smell carbon monoxide.
[9:59] Speaker 2: Oh. well.
[10:02] Speaker 6: It's odorless and colorless.
[10:04] Speaker 4: Yo, I've been thinking about this.
[10:06] Speaker 3: I'm going to get you set up.
[10:07] Speaker 4: It's wild that you brought that up. I was like,
[10:09] Speaker 4: I need to get one of those because I was
[10:11] Speaker 4: watching this Reddit stories video and they were talking about it.
[10:15] Speaker 1: Oh, the person with the sticky notes? Yeah. Yes, you've
[10:18] Speaker 1: seen that? Yeah, I read that when it dropped, I think. Dang,
[10:21] Speaker 1: when it dropped, dude?
[10:22] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[10:23] Speaker 4: Dang, you're an OG sticky note gas leak guy. I
[10:27] Speaker 4: was like, yo, I could be being delusional and not
[10:30] Speaker 4: even know it. Maybe all of life's problems are because
[10:32] Speaker 4: there's carbon monoxide in my house.
[10:34] Speaker 3: Justin, do you know about this?
[10:35] Speaker 6: The person who had carbon monoxide in their work sending themselves,
[10:39] Speaker 6: they were sticking notes.
[10:40] Speaker 3: All around as like messages to themselves. Is that right, PD?
[10:44] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[10:45] Speaker 4: Oh, Justin in the background of his video has a
[10:48] Speaker 4: bunch of sticky notes on the wall.
[10:49] Speaker 1: Oh, no.
[10:51] Speaker 4: Hey, man, you might want to get a carbon monoxide detector.
[10:56] Speaker 5: Fine.
[11:00] Speaker 4: PD wasn't even trying to scream in that song. It's
[11:03] Speaker 4: just the carbon monoxide is affecting his voice like helium.
[11:06] Speaker 1: Yeah, I have no memory of recording that.
[11:09] Speaker 4: I'll go next with my letter.
[11:14] Speaker 3: All right.
[11:16] Speaker 4: My letter is to every Survivor contestant ever.
[11:20] Speaker 7: Oh.
[11:22] Speaker 4: Dear Survivor contestant. I don't have background music. You did
[11:24] Speaker 4: such a fun thing with the music. I really feel.
[11:28] Speaker 3: We still support you, too.
[11:30] Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
[11:31] Speaker 3: Honestly.
[11:32] Speaker 1: Maybe there's something. No, this is Riverside. Riverside sucks. Never mind.
[11:35] Speaker 4: No, no, it's okay. I got it. I got it.
[11:37] Speaker 4: Dear every Survivor player ever, please, for the love of God,
[11:42] Speaker 4: stop posting things on social media that reveals whether or
[11:47] Speaker 4: not you won or lost this season.
[11:49] Speaker 1: Is this about Maggie?
[11:51] Speaker 4: Well, you can bring... Oh, sorry. I gotta stay in there.
[11:53] Speaker 1: Sorry, my bad.
[11:54] Speaker 4: No, you're good, you're good. Maggie, this does pertain to you. Although,
[12:00] Speaker 4: maybe your comment was just fuck you money. In which case,
[12:02] Speaker 4: that's baller. But also, my mind takes me back to Kenzie.
[12:08] Speaker 4: who said at the beginning of the season that if
[12:10] Speaker 4: she won the million dollars, her and her husband would
[12:13] Speaker 4: start a family and then proceeded to be pregnant the
[12:16] Speaker 4: entire duration of the season airing. My mind wanders to
[12:22] Speaker 4: Riz God, who was making TikToks in a very tiny
[12:25] Speaker 4: apartment after playing back-to-back seasons of Survivor. My mind wanders...
[12:32] Speaker 4: to someone who didn't spoil the season for the fans
[12:36] Speaker 4: by purposely not posting on social media, Kyle, who injured
[12:41] Speaker 4: himself and made sure to not let anyone realize that
[12:44] Speaker 4: he was in a leg brace. My mind wanders to
[12:49] Speaker 4: every season when, without fail, someone reveals on Instagram or
[12:56] Speaker 4: Cameo or TikTok that they clearly did not win a
[13:00] Speaker 4: million dollars. My mind wanders to Savannah, who was traveling
[13:05] Speaker 4: all over the world as season 50 was airing, or
[13:09] Speaker 4: 49 was airing. This is going to be hard to
[13:14] Speaker 4: believe to survivor castaways. The show is not about you.
[13:20] Speaker 4: It's about us, the audience. And we don't want to
[13:24] Speaker 4: know who wins. So please, I know you're trying to
[13:27] Speaker 4: get followers. I know you're trying to get some attention.
[13:31] Speaker 4: I get it. I love attention. I love followers. But
[13:34] Speaker 4: don't spoil the season for everybody. Sincerely, See Daddy Freakout.
[13:44] Speaker 2: I love that.
[13:45] Speaker 4: Thanks.
[13:45] Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too. Good job by Rachel Lamont.
[13:48] Speaker 4: Yes, Rachel did a great job. She was just talking
[13:51] Speaker 4: about puzzles.
[13:54] Speaker 6: Chase, I know how much you care because just in
[13:59] Speaker 6: our group chat for one episode that PD wasn't watching
[14:02] Speaker 6: live when I gave a spoiler. you were so wonderfully
[14:06] Speaker 6: protective of just his experience for that episode.
[14:09] Speaker 3: You were like, get it out, get it out of
[14:11] Speaker 3: the chat. Delete, delete, delete.
[14:13] Speaker 6: And you giving that speech, like, that should be a
[14:16] Speaker 6: TED Talk. Like, that is make them come correct.
[14:20] Speaker 3: I agree with everything you're saying.
[14:22] Speaker 4: Media training, people. We got to keep it together.
[14:25] Speaker 1: Yeah, Chase was very concerned, as if I hadn't already
[14:28] Speaker 1: muted you guys. So I was completely unaware. That's very funny.
[14:33] Speaker 2: I do wonder how tight those NDAs are. Yes. You
[14:38] Speaker 2: have to be edging that a little bit, right? Edging?
[14:41] Speaker 2: I don't know if I like that phrase.
[14:42] Speaker 4: You've got to be gooning it.
[14:43] Speaker 1: You've got to be gooning it.
[14:48] Speaker 2: You gooned all over that NBA.
[14:51] Speaker 4: Well, it's just like, it's like in, they don't mean to,
[14:55] Speaker 4: but it's like, you can't help. But as a person,
[14:57] Speaker 4: if you're just constantly posting stuff online, you're going to
[14:59] Speaker 4: slip up and give something away. It's like Matt. I mean,
[15:02] Speaker 4: Maggie's the perfect example. That comment. I feel like she's
[15:05] Speaker 4: justified in being like, Hey Jeff, who is responsible for
[15:09] Speaker 4: that crazy move? And yet you didn't talk about me
[15:11] Speaker 4: in your field notes whatsoever.
[15:13] Speaker 1: But her going after Jeff, the host of the show,
[15:15] Speaker 1: you would think if she won, she would want to
[15:17] Speaker 1: maintain a good relationship with Jeffrey.
[15:20] Speaker 4: Exactly.
[15:21] Speaker 5: Unless she won and she knows she's not going back
[15:23] Speaker 5: for an all-winners anytime soon.
[15:25] Speaker 4: That's true. I mean, our friend Mary, she's made it
[15:30] Speaker 4: very clear when she came on the show, she doesn't
[15:31] Speaker 4: want to go back on Survivor. And so she does
[15:34] Speaker 4: not care about... I mean, she told a story about
[15:37] Speaker 4: Jeff screaming at her at Tribal on our show because
[15:41] Speaker 4: she doesn't care if she gets invited back. And that
[15:43] Speaker 4: could be the case. But the issue is I just
[15:45] Speaker 4: don't think it is.
[15:48] Speaker 1: Yeah, Mary, who I'm trying to get her to do
[15:51] Speaker 1: something with us that I'm having to keep under wraps
[15:53] Speaker 1: because she doesn't want any Survivor fans to know about it. Right.
[15:57] Speaker 1: So that tells you how Mary's relationship to the game. Yeah.
[16:02] Speaker 2: I love Mary.
[16:03] Speaker 4: Yeah, she's awesome.
[16:05] Speaker 2: I also have one for Maggie.
[16:09] Speaker 4: Oh, wow. It's a Maggie-centric episode. Let's hear it.
[16:12] Speaker 1: I love it, Maggle.
[16:15] Speaker 2: I love it, Maggle. Hey, Maggie. Everybody, focus up. Hey, Maggie.
[16:21] Speaker 2: It's me, Mom. Just kidding.
[16:23] Speaker 5: My name's Justin, but I wanted to get your attention.
[16:26] Speaker 2: Coming off this week's episode, you're absolutely crushing it. Get it, girl.
[16:30] Speaker 5: I'm so proud of you. I'm not sure if you've noticed,
[16:33] Speaker 5: but this season of Survivor is starting to rival Ted
[16:35] Speaker 5: Bundy with the amount of women it's taking out. I
[16:39] Speaker 5: need you to lay low. They're coming for you, sister.
[16:42] Speaker 5: And by they, I mean Brady. Big blonde dude.
[16:44] Speaker 2: Looks like E-man. Brady.
[16:45] Speaker 3: He does.
[16:47] Speaker 5: And with that track record, men with a bent on
[16:50] Speaker 5: getting a women out this season are usually successful. But
[16:54] Speaker 5: I know you can dodge this bullet. You've proven that
[16:56] Speaker 5: you don't just wear hoops. You also know how to
[16:58] Speaker 5: jump through them.
[16:59] Speaker 2: Keep up the great work, mama. And please, stick with Kristen.
[17:03] Speaker 5: Or, if you're privately homophobic or anti-capitalist, as we might
[17:07] Speaker 5: worry about, stay.
[17:08] Speaker 2: Close to Carter. He farms like you. You love plants.
[17:11] Speaker 2: He'll take care of you.
[17:13] Speaker 5: Agricultural divas protecting agricultural divas. Kisses, or as you say
[17:17] Speaker 5: in your language, Justin.
[17:21] Speaker 1: That was very nice.
[17:22] Speaker 4: The Ted Bundy line was incredible. This season is becoming
[17:26] Speaker 4: like Ted Bundy with the amount of women it's taking out.
[17:29] Speaker 4: That's how you know Justin's a writer. Give this man
[17:31] Speaker 4: the Pulitzer for that one.
[17:34] Speaker 3: Do you think, though, that it's.
[17:35] Speaker 6: A compliment because now the new like sexy person to
[17:41] Speaker 6: take out are strong women like that's like that's kind
[17:45] Speaker 6: of cool.
[17:46] Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you could definitely take it as a
[17:48] Speaker 4: compliment because, I mean, you know, it's been very clear
[17:51] Speaker 4: that women win most seasons, especially in the new era.
[17:54] Speaker 1: So every time a woman gets voted out, we'll have
[17:56] Speaker 1: like a picture of Jack's face and it says, that's
[17:58] Speaker 1: kind of cool.
[18:03] Speaker 4: That's kind of cool. We've made it so far.
[18:06] Speaker 1: No, I do.
[18:06] Speaker 4: I think the women are threats for sure. Especially in
[18:08] Speaker 4: this season. The guys aren't playing that hard. That's what's
[18:13] Speaker 4: so crazy about it too. It's not like the guys
[18:16] Speaker 4: have bonded together and are taking out the women. It's
[18:18] Speaker 4: literally just them being like, sure, I'll do whatever you
[18:21] Speaker 4: tell me to do.
[18:22] Speaker 6: Yeah, it's the Sandra kind of anybody but me vibe.
[18:27] Speaker 5: Last episode was two instances of women on women violence.
[18:31] Speaker 5: So the calls coming from inside the women's restroom.
[18:34] Speaker 1: And then Jelly, who I don't want to say anything
[18:37] Speaker 1: bad about Jelly because she wants to smoke weed with us.
[18:40] Speaker 1: She said that we're her ideal blunt rotation.
[18:42] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[18:43] Speaker 1: But it was pretty funny. An airhead and an edgelord.
[18:48] Speaker 1: And whatever Bran is. But the lead up to her
[18:54] Speaker 1: voting out another woman was her continually saying, I don't
[18:59] Speaker 1: want to be part of voting out another woman. Right.
[19:02] Speaker 4: But she was put in a tough situation because she also.
[19:04] Speaker 1: She was, yeah.
[19:05] Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a.
[19:06] Speaker 1: And I can't wait to unpack that with her while
[19:08] Speaker 1: we smoke a blunt. But Jax, what's your open letter?
[19:15] Speaker 3: We do have a repeat offender in here. My letter
[19:20] Speaker 3: is for Kilby and Eric.
[19:23] Speaker 2: Whoa.
[19:24] Speaker 6: Dear Kilby and Eric, in a world drowning in toxic masculinity...
[19:30] Speaker 6: You two have built something rare, a friendship powered by banter, creativity,
[19:35] Speaker 6: and an unshakable commitment to yes and. Some call it
[19:39] Speaker 6: a bromance. Some might insinuate that it's a romance. But
[19:44] Speaker 6: it's actually my favorite kind of manse, a showmanse.
[19:48] Speaker 2: Ooh.
[19:50] Speaker 6: Unlike most, this one will make the merge. History has
[19:55] Speaker 6: given us great male duos. There was Ben and Matt,
[19:59] Speaker 6: Key and Peele, Colin and Ryan, and of course Tim
[20:02] Speaker 6: and Eric, though clearly that Eric was just a rough draft.
[20:06] Speaker 3: Now at last, there is Kilby and Eric. I have
[20:11] Speaker 3: a pitch for y'all. I'd like to direct you.
[20:14] Speaker 6: Community Theater Productions, I'm prepared to stage at a great
[20:18] Speaker 6: personal cost to me slash my banker husband.
[20:22] Speaker 3: The odd couple.
[20:26] Speaker 1: Shut up.
[20:29] Speaker 3: The Odd Couple. No need to say anything else. The Producers.
[20:34] Speaker 3: The Mystery of Irma Vep. That's two men playing eight roles.
[20:39] Speaker 6: Greater Tuna is an entire town played by two men
[20:42] Speaker 6: who will knock it off the stage. And finally, something
[20:44] Speaker 6: a little more serious, Waiting for Godot. It's like waiting
[20:48] Speaker 6: for Tree Mail, but with better banter. And for when
[20:53] Speaker 6: you inevitably launch a sketch duo or a podcast. I
[20:57] Speaker 6: have some names to throw out that I thought would
[20:59] Speaker 6: be good ideas. If it's talking about Shakespeare, which I
[21:02] Speaker 6: have a feeling you guys are into. Two gents, no Verona.
[21:06] Speaker 6: If we're doing a Broadway show, Broadway bound.
[21:12] Speaker 1: Oh.
[21:13] Speaker 3: If we're doing something a little spicier, two boys, one idol.
[21:17] Speaker 2: Okay. I'm listening.
[21:20] Speaker 1: Wait, was that a Broadway show? The original?
[21:24] Speaker 4: Yeah, it was Broadway.
[21:26] Speaker 2: Yes.
[21:26] Speaker 3: This is their sketch duo.
[21:28] Speaker 1: This is their sketch comedy duo.
[21:31] Speaker 3: But I would love if it was.
[21:32] Speaker 6: And then finally, getting in parentheses voted and then off.
[21:41] Speaker 4: Oh, I like that.
[21:42] Speaker 2: That's a good one.
[21:44] Speaker 6: Should anyone try to come between you, I trust you'll
[21:46] Speaker 6: play your idols for each other or at least split
[21:49] Speaker 6: the vote.
[21:50] Speaker 3: I love you, Jax.
[21:51] Speaker 1: Dang, that was good. That was so good. Wow. I
[21:57] Speaker 1: think I would green light all of that.
[21:59] Speaker 3: Thank you.
[22:00] Speaker 5: I would love to hear your casting for like different
[22:05] Speaker 5: Broadway shows and survivors, like maybe a sunset Boulevard starring Carolyn.
[22:10] Speaker 1: Oh, no, stop.
[22:11] Speaker 3: Justin, Justin, there's nothing that was more perfect. No, no,
[22:15] Speaker 3: I didn't.
[22:16] Speaker 6: But you know, okay, wait, starring Carolyn, her understudy is, um,
[22:22] Speaker 6: titty McDuck lips is Sue.
[22:25] Speaker 1: Sue. Guys, we can do fans of the show. That's Sue.
[22:28] Speaker 1: That's what Sue called herself to be clear.
[22:30] Speaker 3: Sue called herself and Chase tried to I.
[22:33] Speaker 4: Tried to tell her to stop doing that.
[22:34] Speaker 3: She's like, I like it. Quit taking this from me.
[22:37] Speaker 4: I'm so sorry, ma'am. We could do Book of Mormon
[22:40] Speaker 4: with Christian from this season as the lead.
[22:43] Speaker 1: Hey, some Mormons helped me move a TV the other day.
[22:47] Speaker 1: I don't have any beef with the Mormons. I knew
[22:51] Speaker 1: they were Mormon immediately, and they just came out of nowhere.
[22:54] Speaker 1: They came out of the bushes with milk, and you
[22:58] Speaker 1: were like, those dudes are Mormon. And I threw him
[23:00] Speaker 1: a bone and I grabbed their little pamphlet.
[23:05] Speaker 2: Is that a euphemism?
[23:07] Speaker 4: I grabbed their little pamphlet.
[23:11] Speaker 1: I don't think you're allowed to do that. As I
[23:16] Speaker 1: was walking away, I said, I might come to your church,
[23:19] Speaker 1: but I'll leave the coffee at home.
[23:21] Speaker 4: Nice. And then they were, you knew they were Mormon
[23:23] Speaker 4: because they were wearing Mitt Romney buttons all over their jackets.
[23:28] Speaker 1: They did look very Romney-esque.
[23:30] Speaker 3: Wait, was this recent?
[23:32] Speaker 1: It was like last Sunday.
[23:35] Speaker 6: And they're still riding hard for Mitt Romney?
[23:39] Speaker 4: Oh, no, I made that up.
[23:40] Speaker 1: That was just a bit. Yeah, 20 years later, they're
[23:45] Speaker 1: still going ham for Romney.
[23:47] Speaker 3: They're like binders full of women. I do look back
[23:50] Speaker 3: at that with nostalgia. That was a good time. He
[23:52] Speaker 3: cared about women. Put me in a binder.
[23:55] Speaker 4: Put me in a binder, Bundy.
[23:58] Speaker 1: Oh, man.
[23:59] Speaker 2: He's not voting any ladies off of Survivor.
[24:01] Speaker 3: No.
[24:02] Speaker 2: No.
[24:03] Speaker 1: That brings it back to me. And we're going to
[24:05] Speaker 1: stay on that subject. So dearest Sharonda and Tanaan, I
[24:10] Speaker 1: need you. I need you. Like, really bad. I need
[24:17] Speaker 1: you too desperately. Christian and Devin make up half of
[24:21] Speaker 1: my fucking team, so I cannot express how much I
[24:25] Speaker 1: need you.
[24:25] Speaker 4: Stupid.
[24:28] Speaker 1: Unfortunately, every person voted out of this game thus far
[24:31] Speaker 1: has been a woman, and we know Chase is loving that.
[24:34] Speaker 1: But I need you two to stand strong in the
[24:36] Speaker 1: face of adversity and show the world what it means
[24:39] Speaker 1: to be a journey and to fight against the people
[24:41] Speaker 1: like Chase who are cheering not only for your downfall,
[24:45] Speaker 1: but the downfall of all women. To quote Dee, and
[24:51] Speaker 1: not Dee from 45, Dee from Twisted Sister, we're not
[24:55] Speaker 1: going to take it. And that's all.
[24:58] Speaker 2: Yes.
[25:01] Speaker 4: I don't think PD can go 30 minutes without accusing
[25:03] Speaker 4: me of some sort of homophobia, sexism, racism.
[25:08] Speaker 6: Would you feel like he's accusing you or just like
[25:12] Speaker 6: gently pointing it out?
[25:15] Speaker 4: Oh, that's very interesting.
[25:17] Speaker 1: So the way you asked, you think it's real?
[25:19] Speaker 4: So you're not helping my case at all here.
[25:21] Speaker 2: Before we started the episode, Chase did call me the
[25:24] Speaker 2: F word. So like, whoa.
[25:28] Speaker 5: I think that at least the homophobia is pretty concrete
[25:31] Speaker 5: at this point.
[25:32] Speaker 4: Hey, guys, as the only one in this call with
[25:34] Speaker 4: a career to worry about, can we stop?
[25:44] Speaker 1: Vicious.
[25:45] Speaker 2: Vicious. Oh, man.
[25:46] Speaker 4: Vicious.
[25:47] Speaker 3: He's vicious.
[25:48] Speaker 1: I guess it's my turn again. Chase hates women.
[25:50] Speaker 4: Chase hates women. That was fun. I got to stop
[25:55] Speaker 4: yes-anding you doing that to me.
[25:59] Speaker 3: All right.
[26:00] Speaker 4: My letter goes out to two guys on the island,
[26:04] Speaker 4: Ori and Lewis.
[26:06] Speaker 1: Oh, yep.
[26:09] Speaker 4: Dear Ori and Lewis, or Lewis and Ori, I don't
[26:12] Speaker 4: mean to put one before the other because I honestly
[26:14] Speaker 4: don't know if either one of you is the winner,
[26:16] Speaker 4: but I need one of you to be the winner.
[26:19] Speaker 4: I drafted Ori first this season, and then I drafted
[26:22] Speaker 4: Lewis the second. Twice. What is it? Secondly, I drafted
[26:27] Speaker 4: Lewis secondly. Every season on Making the Merge. I think
[26:31] Speaker 4: you can just say second. Yeah, second. Now I'm beginning
[26:34] Speaker 4: to understand why they called me an airhead. Every season
[26:40] Speaker 4: on Making the Merge, I do such a terrible job
[26:43] Speaker 4: at drafting. that the fact that for season 51, I
[26:47] Speaker 4: have drafted not just Ori and Lewis, but Brady, Eric, Mike,
[26:53] Speaker 4: and Maggie, all players who are still in the game,
[26:57] Speaker 4: is a huge deal to me. Ori and Lewis, I
[27:01] Speaker 4: need one of you to win this season. I need
[27:04] Speaker 4: you to win because I need to prove that not
[27:07] Speaker 4: only can I win, because I have won before with Rachel.
[27:10] Speaker 4: The issue was, is I drafted Rachel third round, and
[27:13] Speaker 4: it was an accident. I need either Ori or Lewis
[27:17] Speaker 4: to win this season because it would prove that I
[27:19] Speaker 4: saw something that the other players didn't. I chose the
[27:23] Speaker 4: winner of season 51 and it wasn't just an accident.
[27:27] Speaker 4: That I figured out the Zodiac signs of every player
[27:30] Speaker 4: on this season. Then I found the Zodiac signs of
[27:33] Speaker 4: all of the winners of Survivor and I did the
[27:35] Speaker 4: math of which Zodiac sign had won the most seasons
[27:38] Speaker 4: of Survivor so that way I could correlate that with
[27:41] Speaker 4: this season's Zodiac signs and pick the winner.
[27:43] Speaker 1: Ori.
[27:45] Speaker 4: Lewis, it's up to you. You can help turn an
[27:50] Speaker 4: airhead into a winner. Thank you.
[27:57] Speaker 1: I like how I came off of the Chase hates
[28:00] Speaker 1: women thing, and then your next letter was, one of
[28:02] Speaker 1: these two men needs to win the game.
[28:04] Speaker 4: Well, it's not going to be one of the ladies,
[28:06] Speaker 4: am I right?
[28:08] Speaker 2: Whoa, it could be Maggie.
[28:09] Speaker 1: It could be Maggie.
[28:12] Speaker 4: I don't think so. I actually, Maggie did become my
[28:15] Speaker 4: winner pick until she left that comment.
[28:20] Speaker 2: On Instagram.
[28:21] Speaker 5: My hot take is I found out yesterday that Mercury's
[28:23] Speaker 5: in retrograde until November 13th. So I feel like for
[28:26] Speaker 5: three weeks in a row, you're going to lose people
[28:28] Speaker 5: from your team.
[28:29] Speaker 1: Whoa.
[28:30] Speaker 4: So can you explain to me what Mercury in retrograde
[28:32] Speaker 4: even means?
[28:33] Speaker 3: Justin, that explains a lot. Thank you for letting me
[28:35] Speaker 3: know that Mercury's in retrograde.
[28:36] Speaker 1: Can I say what I think it means?
[28:38] Speaker 4: Yeah, of course. Please.
[28:40] Speaker 1: It's not safe to travel.
[28:43] Speaker 5: Do not make unnecessary journeys. Do not swim in the ocean.
[28:48] Speaker 2: You guys know this?
[28:49] Speaker 1: Yes, yes. The woman on the news.
[28:51] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[28:52] Speaker 1: Oh.
[28:52] Speaker 3: So good.
[28:53] Speaker 4: Wait, so what does Mercury being in retrograde mean?
[28:56] Speaker 5: Chase, you have a career to worry about. Don't waste
[29:00] Speaker 5: your pretty airhead mind on this.
[29:02] Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
[29:03] Speaker 4: The only, I had a joke one time where I
[29:05] Speaker 4: would say, defending myself in court, Mercury was in retrograde,
[29:10] Speaker 4: your honor?
[29:11] Speaker 5: Yes.
[29:11] Speaker 4: And that's the joke. That's the joke. But I don't
[29:13] Speaker 4: even know what that is.
[29:15] Speaker 5: Jax, I feel like you might have a better grasp
[29:17] Speaker 5: on this than me, but it's like for a short
[29:19] Speaker 5: period of time, like the trajectory of Mars is like backwards, essentially.
[29:25] Speaker 3: Yeah, and it messes with things.
[29:27] Speaker 6: Like I get more clumsy during this time, which is
[29:30] Speaker 6: difficult because I'm already pretty clumsy.
[29:32] Speaker 3: Things start going wrong. People have miscommunications.
[29:35] Speaker 6: It really messes with relationships.
[29:39] Speaker 1: Whoa.
[29:40] Speaker 3: In that, and I'm not saying I do.
[29:44] Speaker 1: Do you think the four of us will be able
[29:45] Speaker 1: to navigate that?
[29:47] Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
[29:48] Speaker 6: I think we already did with this week's boot. I
[29:51] Speaker 6: was like, this feels like my parents fighting all over
[29:55] Speaker 6: again in our group chat. And I was like, we're
[29:57] Speaker 6: going to have to take sides and We all know
[30:00] Speaker 6: what's going to happen there.
[30:01] Speaker 2: Are you guys group chatting without me?
[30:04] Speaker 4: No.
[30:05] Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a no Justin chat.
[30:07] Speaker 3: Wait a minute. Are we group chatting without you?
[30:09] Speaker 4: No.
[30:10] Speaker 3: And you know that because when you went to sleep
[30:12] Speaker 3: the other night.
[30:13] Speaker 4: Instead of moving it to.
[30:14] Speaker 6: A separate chat, we blew up your phone so that
[30:18] Speaker 6: you had 500 messages.
[30:19] Speaker 3: It would have been courteous to have a separate chat,
[30:21] Speaker 3: but we said no. We want Justin to know everything.
[30:23] Speaker 1: That we're thinking. 500 is so insane. I think. What,
[30:28] Speaker 1: that took place over the course of like three hours?
[30:30] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[30:31] Speaker 2: It was wonderful. It was all catch-up worthy.
[30:34] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[30:35] Speaker 6: So no, there's not a secret group chat without you
[30:38] Speaker 6: because we should have put that over there.
[30:41] Speaker 2: You never know. In Survivor and in Friendships, you've got
[30:44] Speaker 2: to keep people in check.
[30:46] Speaker 4: And plus Mercury's in retrograde.
[30:49] Speaker 3: We all know what this is, guys.
[30:51] Speaker 6: Remember, Justin was my number one, but I told Petey
[30:53] Speaker 6: he was my number one, but really he was my
[30:55] Speaker 6: number two. Petey told me I was his number one,
[30:58] Speaker 6: but really Chase was his number one.
[30:59] Speaker 3: I was his number two.
[31:00] Speaker 6: And now Justin and Chase have some alliance that honestly
[31:03] Speaker 6: could be stronger than anything else that I don't know.
[31:05] Speaker 3: So who knows what will happen?
[31:06] Speaker 4: We're not going to tell you either.
[31:08] Speaker 5: Chase and I are going to final two, and we're
[31:10] Speaker 5: not talking to each other until we get there.
[31:12] Speaker 4: I can tell.
[31:14] Speaker 2: Also, we have a final two now, not final three.
[31:17] Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[31:18] Speaker 2: Apparently.
[31:21] Speaker 5: I have something really special that I would like to
[31:24] Speaker 5: just start and not really preempt.
[31:27] Speaker 4: Please.
[31:29] Speaker 5: Hey, pretty girl. I love that you're the mascot of
[31:31] Speaker 5: this season. A whale in Fiji? That just feels right
[31:35] Speaker 5: for some reason. I know that a lot of people
[31:39] Speaker 5: have wanted you to get your due for a while. Ideally,
[31:41] Speaker 5: that justice would come in the form of a global
[31:43] Speaker 5: ban on whaling. But for now, this will have to do.
[31:46] Speaker 5: When they pulled you out and everyone gasped and those
[31:49] Speaker 5: open-air players lost their fucking marbles, I nearly shit myself, babe.
[31:53] Speaker 5: Watching you take the spotlight this season doing that sexy
[31:56] Speaker 5: little breach pose for the immunity challenges, that's you at
[31:59] Speaker 5: your best queen. Don't ever stop doing what you do best,
[32:02] Speaker 5: waving just one little fin in the water, blowing your
[32:04] Speaker 5: nose on everybody and keeping Kristen and Maggie safe. I
[32:07] Speaker 5: love you for that, but you know I'm a big fan.
[32:10] Speaker 5: Keep being the biggest queen in the ocean.
[32:13] Speaker 1: Justin.
[32:15] Speaker 3: That was.
[32:16] Speaker 4: Incredible.
[32:18] Speaker 1: That was beautiful. Thank you.
[32:19] Speaker 6: Oh, just orchestration-wise, I really wish we could have ended
[32:23] Speaker 6: with that one, Justin. That's not me doubting myself, but
[32:26] Speaker 6: just like that, that would have been pitch perfect.
[32:33] Speaker 5: The whale has answered a question for me this season,
[32:36] Speaker 5: which is, what if you made Survivor just feel a
[32:39] Speaker 5: pinch more like Manchester by the Sea?
[32:41] Speaker 1: Oh.
[32:42] Speaker 3: And.
[32:43] Speaker 5: Just when the whale pops up, I'm like, oh, I
[32:45] Speaker 5: feel a bit forlorn. I feel a bit sad.
[32:47] Speaker 2: And I don't know why. And it's the whale. It's
[32:49] Speaker 2: a vibe. I like it.
[32:51] Speaker 1: No, I love whales. I'm really glad that it's whale
[32:53] Speaker 1: themed because there's a French metal band named Gojira that
[32:57] Speaker 1: has a seven minute song called Flying Whales, which is
[33:01] Speaker 1: all about like finding these whales from a different planet.
[33:04] Speaker 1: And so that's what it makes me think of.
[33:06] Speaker 3: That sounds beautiful, Petey.
[33:08] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[33:09] Speaker 2: I'm taking note of this. I want to hear this song.
[33:12] Speaker 1: Yeah, listen to it. It'll sound like me earlier in
[33:15] Speaker 1: some spots. Screamo.
[33:17] Speaker 3: Screamo, as they call it.
[33:18] Speaker 1: But there's also The Misadventures of Flapjack.
[33:22] Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
[33:23] Speaker 1: Where Flapjack lives in his mom's mouth. Bubby is a whale,
[33:28] Speaker 1: and he lives in Bubby's mouth.
[33:33] Speaker 4: Also a great name for a band. Bubby's mouth is
[33:36] Speaker 4: a great name for a band.
[33:37] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[33:37] Speaker 1: Yeah. All right. Jax, you're up.
[33:43] Speaker 2: Jax is not whale.
[33:46] Speaker 1: Jax, what's your favorite whale tie-in?
[33:49] Speaker 3: My favorite whale tie-in?
[33:50] Speaker 6: No, so my, I want to make sure, because I
[33:54] Speaker 6: know sometimes I get a little flirty and sexual on
[33:58] Speaker 6: this podcast about women, but this is coming from a
[34:00] Speaker 6: complete place of respect.
[34:01] Speaker 3: Which is why I couldn't do Kristen.
[34:05] Speaker 6: I actually wrote a letter to Kristen that I had
[34:08] Speaker 6: to scrap.
[34:09] Speaker 1: That's for the Patreon.
[34:11] Speaker 3: That's for the Patreon. I was like, girl, you can't
[34:13] Speaker 3: do this. So I wrote a letter to someone that
[34:15] Speaker 3: I really.
[34:16] Speaker 6: Admire and is now my new winner pick.
[34:23] Speaker 3: Dear Jelly. Aww. Love her.
[34:28] Speaker 6: Every great Survivor player needs a theme song. Some get
[34:31] Speaker 6: dramatic strings. Some get tribal drums.
[34:34] Speaker 3: But girl, you get bootylicious, okay?
[34:38] Speaker 6: So I have a choreographed dance to this. Dusty Child
[34:41] Speaker 6: basically wrote it for you decades before you hit the beach,
[34:46] Speaker 6: which is the kind of long game that only Jeff
[34:49] Speaker 6: Probst can dream of. Okay, so girl, you were built
[34:51] Speaker 6: for this. You're a sociology professor with a PhD before
[34:57] Speaker 6: 30 on a show that is a giant social experiment.
[35:01] Speaker 3: Girl, don't think I forgot, mascot camp.
[35:07] Speaker 6: You won most comedic mascot, Weber the Bear. That is
[35:10] Speaker 6: the most dangerous thing on your resume, and nobody at
[35:13] Speaker 6: camp even knows it, okay? But I have to have
[35:16] Speaker 6: some real talk with you. I fully support and love
[35:19] Speaker 6: women and their gay besties.
[35:23] Speaker 2: Okay?
[35:25] Speaker 6: But Devin thinks he's a good wingman. He's a terrible wingman.
[35:30] Speaker 6: And he's not a great dude to be in alliance with, okay?
[35:34] Speaker 3: Babe, be careful. Watch out. The gays, they're trying to
[35:41] Speaker 3: murder you.
[35:42] Speaker 7: Nice.
[35:43] Speaker 4: White lotus reference.
[35:45] Speaker 3: Exactly.
[35:46] Speaker 6: Okay, so Jelly, I do have a choreographed dance to
[35:51] Speaker 6: your song.
[35:51] Speaker 3: I don't think you're ready for this, Jelly.
[35:53] Speaker 1: Are you about to get up?
[35:55] Speaker 3: Oh, do you want me to show it to you?
[35:57] Speaker 3: I thought I could do a separate video too, but
[35:59] Speaker 3: I am able to get up. I'm not that old, PD.
[36:03] Speaker 1: I didn't mean are you physically capable. Jax, how are
[36:10] Speaker 1: your knees feeling? I know you've been out a lot.
[36:13] Speaker 3: I know I have been. Do you want me to
[36:16] Speaker 3: do it here or should I.
[36:17] Speaker 2: Do a separate full video?
[36:18] Speaker 1: If you're willing to do it right and capable.
[36:20] Speaker 3: I'm willing and capable. Let's see if we can get me.
[36:23] Speaker 3: Can you... Can you hear me?
[36:25] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[36:27] Speaker 2: Okay. Okay. Here she goes.
[36:31] Speaker 3: This is something we can learn if you guys want
[36:33] Speaker 3: to stand.
[36:34] Speaker 4: I can't, but please.
[36:37] Speaker 2: I don't think.
[36:39] Speaker 3: You're ready for this jelly. I don't think you're ready
[36:46] Speaker 3: for this jelly. Then repeat. I don't think you're ready
[36:50] Speaker 3: for this jelly.
[36:52] Speaker 2: Then repeat again.
[36:54] Speaker 3: I don't think you're ready for this.
[36:56] Speaker 2: Jelly.
[36:57] Speaker 1: Should we get up and do it?
[37:02] Speaker 7: No.
[37:03] Speaker 2: Do it again, though. Oh, wait, I can't hear you. No.
[37:06] Speaker 3: Five, six, seven, eight.
[37:08] Speaker 2: There she goes.
[37:09] Speaker 5: I don't think you're ready for this jelly. I don't
[37:12] Speaker 5: think you're ready for this jelly.
[37:14] Speaker 2: I don't think you're ready for this.
[37:16] Speaker 1: Pause.
[37:17] Speaker 2: There it is.
[37:19] Speaker 1: My body's too bootylicious for you. That's how we end.
[37:22] Speaker 4: Yeah, that's about Kilby.
[37:24] Speaker 5: It's the last part of it, at least while you're
[37:26] Speaker 5: teaching it, is giving a bit of like local grocery
[37:31] Speaker 5: store commercial.
[37:32] Speaker 2: And it's like, we've got great deals for you.
[37:37] Speaker 3: I've had this choreographed since the year it came out,
[37:41] Speaker 3: which is.
[37:42] Speaker 4: More than 1987, something like that. How dare you? Alexa,
[37:44] Speaker 4: what year is Bootylicious out?
[37:46] Speaker 3: Bootylicious dropped.
[37:52] Speaker 1: In 2001.
[37:52] Speaker 2: 2001, so....
[37:54] Speaker 3: Petey was like two and I was choreographing dances. So
[38:00] Speaker 3: I was about like, you know, five or six. Right.
[38:04] Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[38:07] Speaker 2: Sure. Right.
[38:08] Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's about the level of.
[38:10] Speaker 4: Wait, 2001?
[38:13] Speaker 3: Yeah, about that. Yeah, 2001. Bootylicious.
[38:16] Speaker 2: Oh, wait.
[38:18] Speaker 5: Do you want to coalesce in our like millennial-ness? And
[38:22] Speaker 5: this actually strangely ties back to Survivor. So I fell
[38:25] Speaker 5: in love with Survivor in season two when Tina won.
[38:28] Speaker 5: And I was supposed to go Australia. I was supposed
[38:31] Speaker 5: to go on my first like long-term field trip, like
[38:35] Speaker 5: three or four days. It sounds like I'm being shipped
[38:37] Speaker 5: off forever. They're like, you're going to go live in
[38:39] Speaker 5: a farm upstate on a long-term field trip.
[38:43] Speaker 2: So she won. And I was like, shit, I have
[38:46] Speaker 2: to go to DC. Actually, I have to do this.
[38:47] Speaker 5: And I got on the bus the next day with
[38:48] Speaker 5: my People magazine and that had all of the Survivors
[38:51] Speaker 5: listed in it. And then, Jax, do you remember Hit Clips? Yes.
[38:58] Speaker 2: So they were like.
[38:59] Speaker 5: These little things that went into a little cassette player,
[39:05] Speaker 5: and it played 30 seconds of a song.
[39:06] Speaker 2: It was completely worthless.
[39:08] Speaker 5: But one that I had on my little key ring,
[39:09] Speaker 5: because that's how small they were, was Bootylicious.
[39:13] Speaker 2: Oh, yes.
[39:16] Speaker 5: My Bootylicious Hit Clips, my special edition Survivor magazine. And
[39:20] Speaker 5: the power of prayer got me through three days in Washington, D.C.
[39:23] Speaker 2: Thank you, Survivor.
[39:25] Speaker 4: I had a Tooth Tunes.
[39:28] Speaker 7: Remember those?
[39:28] Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. played music when you brushed your teeth.
[39:32] Speaker 2: What did it play?
[39:33] Speaker 3: It played.
[39:34] Speaker 4: Ootylicious. Ootylicious. No, it played the Shrek song. Hey, now,
[39:42] Speaker 4: you're an all-star. Get the game on.
[39:45] Speaker 1: Go play. Shout out Smash Mouth.
[39:46] Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[39:48] Speaker 5: I need to tell you guys something off the podcast
[39:51] Speaker 5: about Smash Mouth, and I just can't.
[39:53] Speaker 2: I can't have it on the record.
[39:55] Speaker 1: Well, I guess we need to wrap it up.
[39:57] Speaker 4: Because I've got to find out.
[39:59] Speaker 1: Yeah, so Jelly, if you're listening, which you might, I
[40:03] Speaker 1: think Jax was doing an official application to be your
[40:06] Speaker 1: wing woman instead of Devin.
[40:09] Speaker 3: Thank you.
[40:10] Speaker 2: Gay besties can be women.
[40:12] Speaker 1: Yeah, I vouch for Jax.
[40:14] Speaker 4: She's great.
[40:15] Speaker 3: As a wing woman, thank you very much.
[40:18] Speaker 4: All right.
[40:19] Speaker 1: I think that does it.
[40:21] Speaker 3: Easy does it. Wait, Justin, do you really have a
[40:24] Speaker 3: story about Smash Mouth?
[40:27] Speaker 2: Yes.
[40:28] Speaker 1: That you want to save for when we're not recording?
[40:30] Speaker 2: Yes.
[40:32] Speaker 3: Okay.
[40:32] Speaker 1: Well, I guess we have to stop recording then. Chase,
[40:35] Speaker 1: what do you want to tell the people?
[40:36] Speaker 4: Oh, I thought we stopped.
[40:38] Speaker 3: Okay. No, no, no.
[40:39] Speaker 1: I want you to close it out.
