[0:54] Speaker 6: I'm p D and I have Aubrey and SuRie and
[1:02] Speaker 6: Stephanie and Devin's and Jonathan on my team.
[1:08] Speaker 2: What happened a season fifty party Girl?
[1:12] Speaker 6: Season fifty party Girls taking a one week sabbatical.
[1:15] Speaker 3: And man, he was one player so good? I mean Jesus,
[1:21] Speaker 3: I act like this. Every time I lost a player,
[1:24] Speaker 3: I'd be dead.
[1:25] Speaker 2: Someone will be playing the entire show. I brand.
[1:28] Speaker 3: I have Emily, Joe, Tiff, Chrissy, I'm Chase, I have
[1:32] Speaker 3: Christian and Coach left in my Survivor draft.
[1:36] Speaker 2: And then Jonathan's not.
[1:38] Speaker 3: Here today, which we have a voice memo to play
[1:40] Speaker 3: from him, but he has Ozzy and Riz god.
[1:43] Speaker 6: Left, Hey, before we play it, zeboy, can we just
[1:46] Speaker 6: address the fact that we move the schedule around for
[1:50] Speaker 6: this like four or five different times. None of the
[1:53] Speaker 6: times worked for Jonathan. You'd think at least one of
[1:57] Speaker 6: those would have worked.
[1:58] Speaker 4: Out in Jonathan's offense. So we were originally gonna push
[2:03] Speaker 4: it to Friday. Yes, and then in the period of
[2:07] Speaker 4: time that we moved at he scheduled a doctor's appointment. Yes,
[2:12] Speaker 4: four eleven, Yeah, when we normally record. And so when
[2:16] Speaker 4: we came.
[2:17] Speaker 6: Back, I guess, you know, brand you were close, but
[2:19] Speaker 6: you got the timeline off a little bit. Jonathan said,
[2:22] Speaker 6: actually Friday works better for me because you know, Thursday
[2:26] Speaker 6: I'm doing a lot. And then he came back a
[2:28] Speaker 6: couple hours later and he said, actually, guys, I have
[2:31] Speaker 6: a doctor's appointment on Friday.
[2:33] Speaker 2: He scheduled something else for today.
[2:35] Speaker 6: And so then we moved it back to the original time,
[2:38] Speaker 6: which he originally could do.
[2:41] Speaker 2: But now no, go yeah, he's doing this a little
[2:44] Speaker 2: that little this, a little that has taken issue with
[2:47] Speaker 2: Jonathan using that to his defense.
[2:50] Speaker 6: Now the little bit of this little bit of that,
[2:52] Speaker 6: because that was something that his wife, Kristen h used
[2:56] Speaker 6: to make fun of him on our live stream, you know,
[2:59] Speaker 6: explaining why he can never do anything. By the way,
[3:02] Speaker 6: with all this a little of that everyone listening at home,
[3:04] Speaker 6: Jonathan doesn't have a job, right.
[3:07] Speaker 3: He edits videos freelance wise, and I know what you're thinking.
[3:10] Speaker 3: That's a job, Chase.
[3:12] Speaker 2: I promise you I edit more in a week than
[3:15] Speaker 2: he does. Hey, but here's the thing.
[3:17] Speaker 6: Jonathan at the very least had the decency to send
[3:21] Speaker 6: us a voice memo.
[3:22] Speaker 4: Yes he did, and I don't want to make it
[3:24] Speaker 4: like a whole like, look look at how awesome I am, Jonathan.
[3:28] Speaker 4: I also book something during our normal in the morning time.
[3:32] Speaker 2: You didn't want to know what I did?
[3:33] Speaker 3: Would? Yeah?
[3:35] Speaker 4: Yeah, because nothing is more important important than talking about
[3:39] Speaker 4: Survivor with the boys.
[3:39] Speaker 2: But Jordan, you take it away.
[3:42] Speaker 4: Hi, guys.
[3:43] Speaker 1: Sorry, Jonathan is just so silly for missing an episode again.
[3:47] Speaker 1: He told me he's just so busy keeping his all
[3:49] Speaker 1: type favorite player Ozzie in the game. Am I right, Chase? Anyways,
[3:53] Speaker 1: Jonathan simply couldn't bring himself to be on an episode
[3:55] Speaker 1: after having to endure coaches, endless haikus about honor and
[3:58] Speaker 1: integrity or over else. He thinks he invented, but Jonathan
[4:02] Speaker 1: has decided to make a great contribution in renaming PD
[4:05] Speaker 1: this season. Since p D has lost e from here
[4:08] Speaker 1: on out, he will be known simply as PE. See Jonathan,
[4:13] Speaker 1: this is why you're the best YouTuber and podcaster. Thoughts
[4:16] Speaker 1: in prayers, p how do you wants back from this?
[4:19] Speaker 1: He might be finished?
[4:20] Speaker 3: What the war hold on?
[4:22] Speaker 6: So Jonathan, he can't even do voice memos anymore. He's
[4:25] Speaker 6: outsourcing it to the undisclosed woman.
[4:27] Speaker 3: Wait, I'm so cool.
[4:28] Speaker 2: He claimed, So he didn't hire.
[4:33] Speaker 1: This.
[4:33] Speaker 4: I feel like his confirmation of something that he's been
[4:36] Speaker 4: pushing back against for two months now.
[4:40] Speaker 3: And you know, I'm gonna break k fape here because
[4:42] Speaker 3: this also makes me upset. P D did work for
[4:46] Speaker 3: Jonathan so that Jonathan could send this clip to us.
[4:50] Speaker 2: This was I didn't actually have anything to do with this.
[4:53] Speaker 3: How you went around your back? How in the world
[4:55] Speaker 3: did he get access to the undisclosed woman? He had
[4:58] Speaker 3: access to her for a second. I need to know
[5:02] Speaker 3: how this played out. How in the world did he
[5:04] Speaker 3: do this?
[5:04] Speaker 2: Did you do this for him? I had the idea? Okay,
[5:07] Speaker 2: then okay, yeah, it's.
[5:08] Speaker 3: Like even Jonathan, even p D's behind everything. Jonathan didn't
[5:12] Speaker 3: do a damn thing. But okay, this is a low
[5:16] Speaker 3: blow because I'm appalled my my player is gone. Yeah,
[5:23] Speaker 3: the player is very important to me. And then he
[5:25] Speaker 3: has undisclosed woman who I met. I tried to get
[5:27] Speaker 3: her to do sound drops for me. She refused in Mexico.
[5:32] Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and now I'm just pe Yeah, you just
[5:35] Speaker 3: pee or or some of the some of your haters
[5:39] Speaker 3: in the comments called you p p D.
[5:41] Speaker 2: But now you don't have the DC just peep.
[5:43] Speaker 6: Yeah, Jonathan, he's reached a new level of lazy y.
[5:48] Speaker 6: He can't even do his own voice memo.
[5:50] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's insane, Jonathan. That's tough.
[5:54] Speaker 3: I'm going extra hard on Jonathan today.
[5:56] Speaker 2: Uh just cuz so me yea god years old who
[6:02] Speaker 2: has the ringer on? What in the world Jonathan's fault somehow.
[6:11] Speaker 3: That your ringer was on.
[6:12] Speaker 4: Yeah, you were waiting to hear back from or something,
[6:14] Speaker 4: and so you turned your ringer on.
[6:16] Speaker 2: It all comes back to, Jonathan, is what it all
[6:19] Speaker 2: comes back to. Jonathan.
[6:21] Speaker 3: Hey, hold on, hold on a second, Brand just opened
[6:27] Speaker 3: up his I message on the computer.
[6:30] Speaker 2: Do you not have our numbers? Say for some no?
[6:32] Speaker 4: No, no, I do on my phone for something and it's
[6:35] Speaker 4: not it hasn't transferred.
[6:37] Speaker 2: But it's also really random, like not even my wife.
[6:41] Speaker 4: Okay, so it's very random, the ones that for some
[6:44] Speaker 4: reason connected and sometimes.
[6:46] Speaker 2: Okay, So I was about to be like I thought
[6:48] Speaker 2: we were friends. I promise that I do even to
[6:52] Speaker 2: me like two minutes.
[6:54] Speaker 3: Even though I bail on you every time you invite
[6:56] Speaker 3: me to go to the movies, I do consider us great.
[6:59] Speaker 2: Jonathan, I you were good. Yeah, we're good, all right.
[7:03] Speaker 6: And I like how Chase said break kfabe as if
[7:06] Speaker 6: everything on this show isn't one hu.
[7:09] Speaker 2: I think everyone knows that we are lying. Ninety percent
[7:12] Speaker 2: of season seventy five coming soon.
[7:24] Speaker 3: One man, hey, very topical, Yeah, very Artemis two the
[7:32] Speaker 3: moon shouted those heroes.
[7:34] Speaker 4: Yeah, looked at the moon closer than we have personally.
[7:39] Speaker 3: Do you think in the was it the seventies when
[7:41] Speaker 3: we first went to the moon. We went to the
[7:43] Speaker 3: moon in nineteen sixty nine.
[7:45] Speaker 4: I know that because of the Even Stephens show, great
[7:48] Speaker 4: musical that taught me everything I need to know about space.
[7:50] Speaker 3: Nice, I don't think i've caught that one.
[7:52] Speaker 2: We went to the moon nineteen sixties.
[7:55] Speaker 3: It's a great show when we went to the Moon
[7:57] Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty nine, do you think everybody was like, Hey,
[8:01] Speaker 3: we're in poverty.
[8:02] Speaker 2: We would really like to use that money for something else.
[8:05] Speaker 6: I'm in poverty. I lost half of my name. I
[8:07] Speaker 6: will say, what's different here compared to then?
[8:14] Speaker 4: Is I think SpaceX is mainly behind this one.
[8:19] Speaker 2: I think I could be wrong. Hey man, what do
[8:22] Speaker 2: I know?
[8:23] Speaker 3: Let's crack?
[8:25] Speaker 6: Is it coconut time? Yeah, it's coconut time. It's coconut time.
[8:29] Speaker 6: And it's Tiffy Time.
[8:32] Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Tiffy Time, not Tiffy feel.
[8:45] Speaker 6: Quoting Tiff told everybody she's not upset at them, She's
[8:49] Speaker 6: upset she had to say goodbye to her friends. And
[8:51] Speaker 6: I then cut to a Tiffy Time confessional and turns
[8:54] Speaker 6: out she's pretty upset at them. She feels like she
[8:56] Speaker 6: has a fire under her skin. She has to keep
[8:59] Speaker 6: it cool, Chris. He said, Tiff spoke very eloquently, and
[9:02] Speaker 6: I was thinking, watch it, Chrissy, you don't need to
[9:04] Speaker 6: say more things that could be interpreted badly. But then
[9:07] Speaker 6: we get Tiff saying that if she had a burn book,
[9:10] Speaker 6: she'd write Jonathan is a lying skank.
[9:13] Speaker 2: Yeah. So funny, what a personality that's being shown.
[9:16] Speaker 3: When she gets some confessionals, it's almost like she should
[9:19] Speaker 3: have been in the show the whole time.
[9:20] Speaker 2: She's awesome.
[9:22] Speaker 4: And the good news is for tiff is there's no
[9:25] Speaker 4: way she loses another friend this week.
[9:27] Speaker 2: Nope.
[9:29] Speaker 6: Then we got the second group who voted out Genevieve.
[9:33] Speaker 6: They're back at camp, and this is where we get
[9:35] Speaker 6: Aubrey in a confessional explaining she was going to play
[9:38] Speaker 6: her idol, but Genevieve played her shot in the dark
[9:41] Speaker 6: and was not safe, so she wanted to keep it Chase.
[9:43] Speaker 6: What reasoning did Aubrey give Devins a Christian for making
[9:47] Speaker 6: this move?
[9:49] Speaker 2: I don't remember. That's exactly the ex Yeah, did you
[9:55] Speaker 2: mean to do that?
[9:55] Speaker 3: Yes?
[9:55] Speaker 4: Okay, yeah she forgot, which I will say that I
[10:00] Speaker 4: was trying to think back. I know last week's episode
[10:03] Speaker 4: was a marathon and it was interrupted by Trump and
[10:05] Speaker 4: it was a whole thing, and so my memory on
[10:07] Speaker 4: is a little foxy. I don't really remember the whole like, hey,
[10:12] Speaker 4: make sure you play your idol this week.
[10:13] Speaker 2: Just told everybody she was gonna play. Yeah.
[10:15] Speaker 3: She essentially got everybody around and said, guys, I know
[10:18] Speaker 3: that the idol. Everyone's aware of it. It's a big
[10:20] Speaker 3: threat on me. I'm gonna play it tonight. And she
[10:22] Speaker 3: pulled a rizzo. She did, she did, and what a
[10:24] Speaker 3: great move. Yeah, but she's gonna get bullied into playing it.
[10:27] Speaker 2: Again this week.
[10:28] Speaker 3: So yeah, that was a lame she could have held
[10:30] Speaker 3: out Lama.
[10:31] Speaker 6: Yeah, now we've got the third group back, the one
[10:34] Speaker 6: that voted out Colby. Coach described it as a most
[10:37] Speaker 6: honorable send off to one of the four horsemen. Coach
[10:40] Speaker 6: thinks that de voted for him. Jan Dre the Giant
[10:43] Speaker 6: is telling Coach Dean Aubrey can't be trusted. Coach said,
[10:46] Speaker 6: you want to make war, I'll roll up my freaking
[10:48] Speaker 6: sleeves and wage war on all these people.
[10:52] Speaker 3: He's so funny, he says, makes me happy, even when
[10:56] Speaker 3: he's being a complete idiot, which that's probably what people say.
[11:02] Speaker 2: Yeah, we're the coach of podcasting.
[11:04] Speaker 3: I'm very excited for PD to talk about what Jandre
[11:08] Speaker 3: the Giant does in a minute, because I was very
[11:10] Speaker 3: confused while watching it.
[11:12] Speaker 2: So Jandre the Giant.
[11:13] Speaker 4: I gotta be honest, I'm foggy still as to what
[11:17] Speaker 4: set Coach off in this moment, Like it's.
[11:19] Speaker 2: Not that big of a deal.
[11:20] Speaker 3: I was confused as well, but Jandre the Giant essentially
[11:24] Speaker 3: starts egging on Coach against D.
[11:26] Speaker 6: Yes, it was that Jandre was talking about how D
[11:30] Speaker 6: and Aubrey they're liars.
[11:31] Speaker 3: Okay, now did he just make that up or does
[11:33] Speaker 3: he have valid reason to be upset with them?
[11:35] Speaker 6: They blindsided him with the Charlie vote. Okay, but that's
[11:37] Speaker 6: what he's still upset about that.
[11:38] Speaker 3: But then Jandre gets a confession where he pretty much goes,
[11:41] Speaker 3: ha ha it worked.
[11:42] Speaker 6: Well, that's that's a little bit later. Okay, that's what
[11:44] Speaker 6: I'm confused about. Okay, so I'll set that up, yes,
[11:46] Speaker 6: please do. The next day, Jonathan is standing next to Coach,
[11:49] Speaker 6: who was laying in a hammock, and D walks up
[11:52] Speaker 6: and says to Jonathan, you little dickhead.
[11:56] Speaker 2: Not even a big dickhead now.
[11:58] Speaker 6: Jonathan says, miss D, I don't know what to tell you,
[12:01] Speaker 6: and D asked Jonathan if you'd like to talk. They
[12:04] Speaker 6: start to walk away, but before they walk off, D
[12:06] Speaker 6: asks Coach, who's still laying in the hammock. She asked him,
[12:09] Speaker 6: are you sad? And Coach said he is sad because
[12:13] Speaker 6: D's going around telling everybody that she doesn't trust him.
[12:16] Speaker 6: And this is where things get really juicy. D said,
[12:19] Speaker 6: everybody is lying. No one's being honest. And Jonathan said,
[12:22] Speaker 6: are you due, brute?
[12:27] Speaker 2: You know that Julius Caesar it was so perfect? Are
[12:31] Speaker 2: you D? And they begin to argue over coach.
[12:34] Speaker 6: Coach is still in the hammock and like D's kind
[12:37] Speaker 6: of leaning over Coach, arguing with Jonathan.
[12:39] Speaker 2: Can we talk about how the hammock has been a
[12:41] Speaker 2: great prop prop?
[12:43] Speaker 4: Yeah, Coach was like a kid at the dinner table
[12:46] Speaker 4: and his parents are arguing and.
[12:49] Speaker 2: I'm just here here if you need me.
[12:52] Speaker 6: Cut the D and she said, the Latina is coming out,
[12:54] Speaker 6: you know, like the there's a little Cuban coming out.
[12:57] Speaker 6: And then she is uncalled for or behavior and in
[13:00] Speaker 6: front of a bunch of people, and then Jandre it
[13:03] Speaker 6: would cut to his confessional. He says, I did it
[13:05] Speaker 6: on purpose to get a rise out of D.
[13:07] Speaker 3: Which is wild because isn't he a part of the
[13:09] Speaker 3: whole honor and integrity thing.
[13:11] Speaker 6: See, it's honor and integrity and unless it benefits you
[13:15] Speaker 6: not be that way.
[13:16] Speaker 4: Yeah, when you're constantly defining what that means, you can
[13:22] Speaker 4: do whatever you want to.
[13:23] Speaker 3: Yeah, people who truly live by honor and integrity don't
[13:26] Speaker 3: have to remind you how honorable and integra do you
[13:28] Speaker 3: feel they are? Yeah?
[13:30] Speaker 6: Yeah, So, I mean Jonathan just came off of lying
[13:34] Speaker 6: to Camilla and D. Yeah, I mean not Yeah, he
[13:38] Speaker 6: did lie to Camilla. He lied to Camilla D and Tiffany. Yeah,
[13:41] Speaker 6: and so I guess it's okay for him to lie
[13:44] Speaker 6: because they lied first, and that's where the honor comes in, right,
[13:47] Speaker 6: they shot first?
[13:49] Speaker 2: Yeah, like Han Solo. Yeah, you've been watching Star Wars.
[13:54] Speaker 6: So Coach has gone full scorched Earth now after the
[13:57] Speaker 6: d Jonathan blow up, Coach says, anyone out here wants
[14:00] Speaker 6: to run around and tell lies and play that kind
[14:02] Speaker 6: of way on Survivor fifty isn't winning the game. Vote
[14:05] Speaker 6: me out tonight and there will be hell to pay.
[14:07] Speaker 6: Screw them if they think.
[14:09] Speaker 2: They could get to the final tribal council playing this way.
[14:11] Speaker 3: The way he said that made it seem like he
[14:13] Speaker 3: was gonna murder them after the game, It's.
[14:15] Speaker 2: Like, what are you gonna do?
[14:16] Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna get it OUTA Yeah, you can't do anything,
[14:19] Speaker 3: but there's gonna be here's the thing though, Coach has
[14:23] Speaker 3: first hand experience of betraying someone who goes to Ponderosa
[14:27] Speaker 3: and costs him the million dollars, because that's exactly what
[14:30] Speaker 3: happened with him and Ozzy in that season together. Ozzie
[14:33] Speaker 3: went to Ponderosa and told everyone essentially, if you vote
[14:37] Speaker 3: for coach, you're you know, you're terrible at this game.
[14:40] Speaker 3: They basically poisoned Ponderosa against Coach, and Coach has never
[14:43] Speaker 3: given that.
[14:44] Speaker 4: Unfortunately, I think this happened before Ozzy got back from exile.
[14:48] Speaker 4: Correct this argument, because I would have loved to Ozzie
[14:52] Speaker 4: to listen in all this and just be like, bro,
[14:55] Speaker 4: you betray me all the time.
[14:57] Speaker 3: But do you remember the twelve days ago?
[15:02] Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, man, coach.
[15:05] Speaker 3: I was feeling so coaches on my team, and when
[15:07] Speaker 3: we started getting all of this Coach essentially throwing a
[15:11] Speaker 3: Timper tantrum, I got worried. I said, oh, no, I'm
[15:13] Speaker 3: losing coach tonight. PD has six players on his team
[15:17] Speaker 3: and somehow I'm going to be losing another one tonight.
[15:19] Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see.
[15:20] Speaker 6: Emily thinks coach is being ridiculous and hypocritical because he is,
[15:25] Speaker 6: and then Coach back In the hammock, he says, I'm
[15:27] Speaker 6: going to come up with some haikus about the situation.
[15:30] Speaker 6: Betrayal all around, Nobody tells the truth, like coach, war
[15:35] Speaker 6: has been declared.
[15:36] Speaker 2: Let's let's let's count this out.
[15:39] Speaker 4: Portrayal all around six We're it's.
[15:43] Speaker 2: Already off, already, already wrong, already off.
[15:46] Speaker 6: What's next and what was next is nobody tells the
[15:50] Speaker 6: truth like coach.
[15:51] Speaker 4: Nobody tells the truth like coach eight six eight, We're
[15:58] Speaker 4: not off to a hot start.
[15:59] Speaker 2: Let's see if he sticks the landing. War has been declared.
[16:02] Speaker 2: War has been declared.
[16:04] Speaker 3: Hey, get just one of them, right, I'm gonna come
[16:10] Speaker 3: up with some hikus for the situation is my new
[16:12] Speaker 3: catchphrase I put on our story yesterday. But in the
[16:16] Speaker 3: live chat over on Patreon, I said, I'm gonna come
[16:18] Speaker 3: up with some hikus for the situation. Me after getting
[16:20] Speaker 3: arrested for drunken disorderly, Is that what happened to you
[16:23] Speaker 3: in the waffle house?
[16:24] Speaker 2: Yeah?
[16:27] Speaker 4: I love that he came up with the haiku and
[16:29] Speaker 4: then he like yelled over at Christian, was like you
[16:32] Speaker 4: like that, and Christian's like counting on his swing and
[16:34] Speaker 4: he's like, okay.
[16:38] Speaker 2: Yo, what was up with his obsession with haikus?
[16:41] Speaker 4: It was really something I'm gonna come up with some
[16:44] Speaker 4: haikus for the situation.
[16:45] Speaker 6: It was this that I kept going back and forth on.
[16:49] Speaker 6: Coach is amazing. I want him to stick around, and
[16:51] Speaker 6: then I would swing to get this guy out of
[16:54] Speaker 6: the game right now, like back and forth, over and
[16:56] Speaker 6: over again.
[16:57] Speaker 2: You just did most of a haiku. Really, Coach is
[16:59] Speaker 2: a ma I want him to stick around, finish it out. Uh,
[17:06] Speaker 2: Actually I hate him, dang it. That's sick. I don't.
[17:09] Speaker 2: That's actually I don't. There we go, There you go,
[17:12] Speaker 2: there you go.
[17:14] Speaker 4: Is there anybody out there that genuinely likes Coach?
[17:20] Speaker 2: You mean, like unironically believes in the same thing as him. Yeah,
[17:23] Speaker 2: it's like, hey, I coaches coaches the best.
[17:27] Speaker 3: I mean those people that have fans. He has fans.
[17:29] Speaker 3: But I think it's all a little tongue in cheek, right,
[17:31] Speaker 3: Like I love Coach, yes, because he sucks.
[17:35] Speaker 6: Like, yeah, I like Coach in the same way that
[17:38] Speaker 6: I like Bonu.
[17:39] Speaker 3: Right right.
[17:40] Speaker 2: I love how hypocritical coaches because it makes for a
[17:42] Speaker 2: good teach. I love a villain, you know.
[17:44] Speaker 3: The thing I love The most about Coach is how
[17:46] Speaker 3: in his rant where he's going off about in season fifty,
[17:49] Speaker 3: we don't play like that, and he'll say this several
[17:50] Speaker 3: times where he goes, I don't play Survivor like that,
[17:53] Speaker 3: because he does.
[17:54] Speaker 2: Title the episode. Yeah, that's exactly.
[17:56] Speaker 3: But the thing that's so funny is that he genuinely
[17:58] Speaker 3: watched Survivor forty eight with Joe and was like, that's
[18:02] Speaker 3: how Survivor should be played.
[18:04] Speaker 2: Let's do that again in season fifty.
[18:06] Speaker 3: We're gonna be playing like how they played in season
[18:08] Speaker 3: forty eight, when that is probably the most hated recent
[18:11] Speaker 3: season in memory. Right.
[18:12] Speaker 4: But the fact that he sees Joe and it's like
[18:16] Speaker 4: that's me is like crazy.
[18:19] Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the delusion that we love. Yes, that's why
[18:22] Speaker 6: we love it because Joe is that.
[18:24] Speaker 3: Yes, he is the honor and integrity guy, but he's
[18:27] Speaker 3: also seen Joe. Joe's never backstabbed someone, but we have
[18:31] Speaker 3: seen him be hypocritical, and that's kind of the downfall
[18:33] Speaker 3: of the whole honor and integrity.
[18:35] Speaker 2: I will say I take Joe's side against Shahim. Dude. Sorry,
[18:39] Speaker 2: no this, I will just say this.
[18:41] Speaker 4: I'm interested to see how the rest of the season
[18:42] Speaker 4: plays out, because there's been like rumors out there that
[18:47] Speaker 4: like he was, he went into the season not really
[18:50] Speaker 4: like wanting to use that to his advantage, but not
[18:53] Speaker 4: play the exact same way.
[18:54] Speaker 2: So I'm interested to.
[18:55] Speaker 3: See if he backstaps, backstabs Coach. That would be juicy,
[18:59] Speaker 3: you know.
[19:00] Speaker 4: And I promise Joe fan again, like I I've had
[19:03] Speaker 4: quite the journey with Joe, and obviously he's on my team,
[19:06] Speaker 4: but Joe went from this guy's awesome, that moment was
[19:10] Speaker 4: beautiful to like, dude, can we get rid of this
[19:12] Speaker 4: guy because it's.
[19:12] Speaker 3: Just ruining survivor?
[19:14] Speaker 2: Yeah?
[19:14] Speaker 4: Yeah, And so I'm I would love to be pleasantly
[19:17] Speaker 4: surprised by a.
[19:18] Speaker 3: Big He's not being obnoxious and bored, but he did
[19:23] Speaker 3: the thing that I assumed.
[19:25] Speaker 2: That he would do, which is to team up with
[19:27] Speaker 2: an honor and tegrity.
[19:28] Speaker 4: Yes, Like nobody's surprised that he teamed up with John,
[19:31] Speaker 4: I go, I'm surprised that he teamed.
[19:33] Speaker 2: Up with Coach and Colby.
[19:34] Speaker 3: I can't guarantee you that Joe's going to backstab Coach,
[19:36] Speaker 3: but I promise you, if it comes down to it,
[19:39] Speaker 3: Coach will backstab Joe because that's how he plays Survivor.
[19:44] Speaker 6: But if Joe does backstab Coach, you know what I'll say,
[19:47] Speaker 6: What will you say? We did it, Joe, we did it.
[19:52] Speaker 6: I'll say this too.
[19:54] Speaker 3: Like the the thing about Coach is he will backstab
[19:58] Speaker 3: Joe and then he'll be like, there was that one
[20:01] Speaker 3: time that you lied. Yes, but he's not gonna have
[20:05] Speaker 3: that with Joe because Joe has not lied, right, I
[20:07] Speaker 3: don't think.
[20:07] Speaker 2: But he'll come up with something. He will justify it
[20:09] Speaker 2: in his own head. Yeah, And that's what makes him great. TV.
[20:13] Speaker 6: Great job casting him this season, Jeff, great contribution. Jeff,
[20:17] Speaker 6: Rizzo and Ozzie are back. They find out that exile
[20:21] Speaker 6: saved them from three vote outs and they're on the jury,
[20:24] Speaker 6: so it's quite the.
[20:25] Speaker 3: Advantace when they show up on that beach. It was
[20:28] Speaker 3: like when John Smith returned to Roanoke Colony and everyone
[20:31] Speaker 3: was gone, and they're like, what happened to all of
[20:34] Speaker 3: my friends?
[20:35] Speaker 2: Is that too much of a deep cut for you guys?
[20:37] Speaker 2: The new history I'm following. I'm following. Coach talks to
[20:41] Speaker 2: Rizzo one on one. He says, let's be dangerous Rizzo.
[20:45] Speaker 6: Coach then has a proposal for Rizzo to become the
[20:48] Speaker 6: new fourth horsemen. And how does Rizzo feel about that proposal?
[20:52] Speaker 4: Ran, Well, he's like intrigued but also offended because the
[20:58] Speaker 4: proposal comes with with like a hey, we lost one,
[21:04] Speaker 4: so come join us. And yeah, I don't think Rizzo
[21:09] Speaker 4: would have taken him up on his offer anyway. But
[21:11] Speaker 4: Rizzo was clearly just like what am I chopped Liver?
[21:14] Speaker 4: Like I wasn't your first choice. No one wants to
[21:16] Speaker 4: be like, hey, join our team because our player is out, Like,
[21:20] Speaker 4: no one wants that.
[21:21] Speaker 3: What's very interesting is this season. I don't know if
[21:24] Speaker 3: it's the edit or if it's just how they're playing.
[21:26] Speaker 3: We have we're not really seeing two big alliances going
[21:31] Speaker 3: up against each other yet. But do you guys think
[21:33] Speaker 3: as we get closer to the end game that we're
[21:36] Speaker 3: going to see Joe Coach and Jandre the Giant versus Serree,
[21:43] Speaker 3: Ozzie and Rizzo.
[21:44] Speaker 4: I think this episode started that side of I don't
[21:48] Speaker 4: know if we'll get that all the way to the
[21:50] Speaker 4: end of the season.
[21:52] Speaker 2: It's just there's just so many players left.
[21:54] Speaker 6: Yeah, you've also got the loser, wishy, washy middle people, right,
[21:58] Speaker 6: Oh my god.
[21:59] Speaker 3: At the end of like, I can't imagine a scenario
[22:02] Speaker 3: where we get to the end of the season and
[22:05] Speaker 3: those two teams, if you will, are both intact.
[22:10] Speaker 2: Like there's just it's.
[22:12] Speaker 4: Too much, too many people and just too much like
[22:16] Speaker 4: just negativity from the that's just at some point.
[22:20] Speaker 3: Coach is gonna go home at some point.
[22:23] Speaker 6: Next up is where we find out the Alliance of Rizzo, Si,
[22:26] Speaker 6: and Ozzy has a name.
[22:28] Speaker 2: It's series Wizard of Oz. I mean what.
[22:32] Speaker 3: You've ridden me right now? It's just good rolls off
[22:36] Speaker 3: the tongue Oz versus the Four Horsemen.
[22:39] Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd book that match. The Theriz. The Wizard of
[22:47] Speaker 4: Oz is so fun.
[22:49] Speaker 3: Because you know what I love about the Four Horsemen,
[22:51] Speaker 3: there's three of them.
[22:52] Speaker 2: Yeah. Currently mm hmm. They think they have Rizzo.
[22:56] Speaker 6: I guess yeah, they don't now Rizzo's double dip brother.
[23:00] Speaker 6: I did think that right after Coach said it. It's like, hey,
[23:03] Speaker 6: I just voted off one of my Alliance members. Would
[23:06] Speaker 6: you like to fill the spot?
[23:08] Speaker 3: I do think in Coach's defense is the injury he
[23:13] Speaker 3: was going home no matter what I approached.
[23:18] Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, though, I am living for the
[23:21] Speaker 4: Seri Rizzo and I think it's I can't believe it's happening.
[23:26] Speaker 2: It speaks.
[23:27] Speaker 3: I think Rizzo has submitted himself as a survivor. Like
[23:30] Speaker 3: we will talk about Rizzo forever now he's sent, submitted
[23:34] Speaker 3: or cemented, Oh sorry, cemented, Well, he is put in
[23:37] Speaker 3: the submissions been accepted.
[23:41] Speaker 6: I need to make a drop of when Chase said,
[23:42] Speaker 6: I gotta stop looking dumb on the internet.
[23:45] Speaker 2: It happens a lot, but you know it's because I'm dumb. No, no, no.
[23:50] Speaker 6: For a future purposes. Can you give me like a
[23:54] Speaker 6: clean like you're saying that I got a lot.
[23:59] Speaker 2: That was that was not clean. I gotta stop looking
[24:03] Speaker 2: like an idiot on the internet. There we go. Thanks.
[24:08] Speaker 2: What was I saying? Uh, you were talking about Rizzo
[24:11] Speaker 2: cementing himself.
[24:12] Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, I do think the fact that he Serie
[24:16] Speaker 3: who in the preseason said she never met a Rizzo
[24:19] Speaker 3: was on the up and up.
[24:21] Speaker 2: I think we still have him. I don't know, yah,
[24:27] Speaker 2: but I never met a Rizzo that was on the
[24:30] Speaker 2: up and up.
[24:31] Speaker 3: Rizzo came into the season where everyone seemed to be
[24:34] Speaker 3: against him even though they had not seen him play.
[24:37] Speaker 3: And that's why they were against him, and that's why
[24:38] Speaker 3: they were against him. But also because of his ri
[24:41] Speaker 3: I Z g O D thing and the trailer, the teaser. Yeah,
[24:44] Speaker 3: he everyone that he has met Colby Serie. All of
[24:48] Speaker 3: these old school players love him. In this episode, we
[24:51] Speaker 3: see Serien not only be like I'm sticking with Rizzo,
[24:54] Speaker 3: but defending him and like they're going all the way together.
[24:58] Speaker 2: And I think that that shows how.
[25:01] Speaker 4: Telling him more later, but also like the way that
[25:05] Speaker 4: Rizzo even carried himself in this tribal, which was really
[25:09] Speaker 4: like really impressed, Like this kid who just played he's
[25:13] Speaker 4: he's showing that he belongs.
[25:15] Speaker 2: And I I I'm very happy.
[25:17] Speaker 3: All it takes is one returning season to make a
[25:20] Speaker 3: Survivor legend. And I think Rizzo has submitted himself and
[25:24] Speaker 3: we will accept that submitted.
[25:26] Speaker 2: Wait a second, yes, except.
[25:30] Speaker 6: He submitted himself the cement. Yes, that's a hard word
[25:35] Speaker 6: though a little bit. Now for another edition of Emily
[25:39] Speaker 6: tells Everyone Everything Jesus. Emily says, the idols are so
[25:44] Speaker 6: public this season, Rizzo, where did you get yours from?
[25:47] Speaker 6: Emily is not supposed to know that Rizzo has this,
[25:51] Speaker 6: and Rizzo asks Emily how do you know about that?
[25:53] Speaker 6: Emily said she heard it from D and now the
[25:56] Speaker 6: Rizard is not too happy.
[25:57] Speaker 4: Dude, and I honestly believe that this is probably costy.
[26:03] Speaker 4: This is the first I could see d getting those.
[26:06] Speaker 4: Everybody like Rizzo like I was right, but we can't
[26:10] Speaker 4: trust her now she's.
[26:12] Speaker 2: Yeah, is it refresh my memory?
[26:14] Speaker 3: This isn't the first time that Emily's spilling a secret
[26:18] Speaker 3: cost someone to go home.
[26:21] Speaker 2: I have to go back and think about it.
[26:22] Speaker 6: But we just know she's done it a lot, whether
[26:25] Speaker 6: it impacted the vote or not, because Christian has done
[26:27] Speaker 6: it a lot.
[26:28] Speaker 2: You know what, it's intentional. She's playing forty chess, brother.
[26:34] Speaker 3: She is playing a good game, like no one's throwing
[26:36] Speaker 3: her name out. But is it because she's so sloppy.
[26:40] Speaker 2: I don't think it's playing a good game. I don't
[26:42] Speaker 2: tell if she wins, we'll all see that she.
[26:45] Speaker 4: Wants if she gets to the end, and and like
[26:48] Speaker 4: she gets the final tribal and that like afterwards in
[26:51] Speaker 4: the exit press, she's like, I played a sloppy game
[26:54] Speaker 4: on purpose to get me to the final because I
[26:56] Speaker 4: knew people would go along.
[26:57] Speaker 2: I'd be like, okay, that's a good game.
[27:01] Speaker 3: As of right now, it just seems like she just
[27:03] Speaker 3: is like sloppy super well, you know, she's really interested
[27:07] Speaker 3: in the investment opportunities of the legalization of weed.
[27:10] Speaker 6: Mj biscon listen to our season fifty Extravagancer show. If
[27:15] Speaker 6: you didn't, we then see Rizzo ask D about this,
[27:19] Speaker 6: you know, the uh, the whole idol spilling information stuff,
[27:23] Speaker 6: and D couldn't believe Emily told him after D specifically
[27:28] Speaker 6: asked Emily not to do that. D she knew she
[27:31] Speaker 6: made a huge mistake here. Not only did she tell Emily,
[27:34] Speaker 6: but she told Tiff and she told Jandre, who now
[27:37] Speaker 6: hates her, and it's not looking good for D.
[27:40] Speaker 2: At this point, I was very worried, as you should be.
[27:44] Speaker 6: Now we got a boat coming, oh oh yeah, and
[27:46] Speaker 6: you know what that means.
[27:47] Speaker 2: It's jazz journey time.
[27:49] Speaker 4: That the uh, the motor actually sounded a whole lot
[27:54] Speaker 4: like this.
[27:55] Speaker 6: Hello, it's bad and it's time another.
[28:00] Speaker 2: Hey, smooth PD, shut up, shut it.
[28:04] Speaker 6: Who No one cares about your jazz and your stupid metaphors.
[28:08] Speaker 2: Patriot PD is taken over. Hit the music.
[28:21] Speaker 6: This is not a smooth jazz journey. No, no, no,
[28:25] Speaker 6: It's an all American journey. Because they all put their
[28:28] Speaker 6: shots in the dark in a bag to decide who
[28:30] Speaker 6: goes and who was chosen none other than our hero
[28:34] Speaker 6: Stephanie La Grossa. Stephanie walks up to a torture device
[28:38] Speaker 6: they sent our girl to Guantanamo Bay. Stephanie has to
[28:42] Speaker 6: tether her arm to a bucket above her while balancing
[28:46] Speaker 6: on a perch. When she's ready, she triggers a water
[28:49] Speaker 6: timer and a pot will slowly rise as the water
[28:53] Speaker 6: spills out, and it's going to take having her arm
[28:56] Speaker 6: held up for an hour to successfully drain the swan.
[29:01] Speaker 6: Stephanie's a little concerned about this because fifteen years ago
[29:04] Speaker 6: on Heroes Versus Villains, she dislocated her shoulder and had
[29:08] Speaker 6: to have reconstructive surgery. So she knew if she used
[29:12] Speaker 6: that arm it was going to lock her up. But
[29:15] Speaker 6: Stephanie had a concept of a plan with her less
[29:19] Speaker 6: dominant arm our. Patriot marched into battle. Everything that could
[29:24] Speaker 6: hurt did hurt, and it hurt big Lea. But Stephanie
[29:28] Speaker 6: stood strong in the face of persecution, and just like
[29:32] Speaker 6: seventeen seventy three, all the.
[29:35] Speaker 2: Teas filled out, the pot broke, and Stephanie did it.
[29:40] Speaker 5: Our American hero has saved the day.
[30:00] Speaker 7: Men who died. Who gave that like to me till
[30:10] Speaker 7: today because here no doubt this man.
[30:16] Speaker 3: Got this.
[30:27] Speaker 2: Patriot PD man. What a killer a wrap.
[30:31] Speaker 6: Up there, got to put the Dean scream in there twice.
[30:36] Speaker 2: I uh, you know what.
[30:39] Speaker 4: Go with a heart transition back to the actual journey itself.
[30:45] Speaker 4: I really like that this journey was just a like
[30:50] Speaker 4: a challenge that we've seen before, like that, Like it's
[30:53] Speaker 4: it's not some sort of like a can you stack blocks?
[30:56] Speaker 2: It's like this is a tried and true and.
[31:00] Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah with the you know a few like fancier
[31:04] Speaker 4: little thing like the water dipping down to fill up
[31:06] Speaker 4: the thing, like that's a little bit different and stuff.
[31:08] Speaker 4: But this is hold up your arm. If you bring
[31:10] Speaker 4: it down, the water's gonna fall me cuss or Iver classic.
[31:14] Speaker 2: And I like that a lot.
[31:15] Speaker 3: If mister Beast was in charge of this challenge, it
[31:17] Speaker 3: would have been a guillotine and you got to keep
[31:20] Speaker 3: your hand up.
[31:20] Speaker 2: Worlds, it'll chop your head off. Uh. Let's talk about.
[31:24] Speaker 3: Stephanie a little bit and then we can move on,
[31:26] Speaker 3: because you did such a great job of wrapping up
[31:27] Speaker 3: what happened. But I do want to say that, you know,
[31:30] Speaker 3: Stephanie is some hot water hot not exactly a fan favorite.
[31:36] Speaker 3: I did really enjoy it. Did get me hyped up
[31:39] Speaker 3: hearing about her past. When the time and and here's
[31:43] Speaker 3: where CI villains where she popped her shoulder out of place. Yeah,
[31:47] Speaker 3: popped it back in and finished the challenge. I loved
[31:50] Speaker 3: hyped up all over it. I love that they're showing
[31:53] Speaker 3: us that stuff. Do you like the I think that
[31:54] Speaker 3: they're doing a really good job of that. And as
[31:57] Speaker 3: hard of a time as we've given Stephanie in right
[31:59] Speaker 3: for yes, yes, this was a reminder that, yeah, she
[32:04] Speaker 3: is a survivor legend in the game of Survivor. Stephanie
[32:08] Speaker 3: is awesome.
[32:08] Speaker 4: Yes, And it was great to see her do this
[32:11] Speaker 4: and like still have it and prove it to herself.
[32:14] Speaker 4: And I thought it was wonderful. It did make me wonder,
[32:16] Speaker 4: does Survivor pay for that surgery?
[32:22] Speaker 3: I would say no, really, I would say they don't,
[32:25] Speaker 3: but I'll look into it while while we continue.
[32:27] Speaker 4: Because I was like, I'm kind of surprised that they
[32:31] Speaker 4: even put that in there, like to be like, hey,
[32:34] Speaker 4: the game caught forced me to get reconstruction surgery on
[32:40] Speaker 4: my shoulder, Like I don't think that's something that.
[32:42] Speaker 2: The question then goes like, what about Kyle who tore
[32:46] Speaker 2: his achilles tendon.
[32:47] Speaker 3: It's a great question.
[32:47] Speaker 2: You know, does Survivor pay it?
[32:51] Speaker 3: I googled it in the little AI overview thing, which
[32:55] Speaker 3: you know we can trust one. Yes, Survivor Production CBS
[33:00] Speaker 3: typically pays for medical expenses incurred by contestionants due to
[33:03] Speaker 3: injuries or illness sustainable filming.
[33:04] Speaker 6: There you go, And uh, how about we don't have
[33:07] Speaker 6: to give a little disclaimer every time we support a
[33:10] Speaker 6: strong woman being awesome and survivor.
[33:13] Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think when you call someone a jew,
[33:16] Speaker 3: you have to uh face the consequences of those actions.
[33:20] Speaker 2: I'm just hearing about this for the first time. No
[33:22] Speaker 2: you're not.
[33:23] Speaker 3: No, Yeah, go back and listen to Uh we've talked
[33:27] Speaker 3: about it.
[33:29] Speaker 2: I wasn't on the preview episode.
[33:30] Speaker 6: Yes, it's like you keep throwing all these things and
[33:32] Speaker 6: me expecting me to know about them, and I don't.
[33:35] Speaker 3: I don't know. She got wind drum, Yeah, she's a
[33:39] Speaker 3: season fifty party girl. She got wine drunk and called
[33:41] Speaker 3: someone a jew.
[33:45] Speaker 6: Well, all right, yeah, I don't know what to tell you.
[33:51] Speaker 6: Steph got a steal a vote advantage, and she gets
[33:54] Speaker 6: back to camp, she lies to everybody and she says
[33:57] Speaker 6: that she just couldn't hold her arm up for an hour,
[34:00] Speaker 6: and Sari clocked it right away.
[34:02] Speaker 2: Yeah, she's so awesome, she is.
[34:06] Speaker 6: She's like, Stephanie couldn't even look at me, and so
[34:08] Speaker 6: she confronts Stephanie about it. Stephanie just gives it up.
[34:14] Speaker 6: She's like, oh, you know me, Siri. And then Serie
[34:18] Speaker 6: told Rizzo about Stephanie's advantage right away because.
[34:22] Speaker 4: And Stephanie was like, don't tell anybody, and he was like,
[34:23] Speaker 4: you know, I won't tell anybody.
[34:24] Speaker 3: But then she tells the new Survivor legend submitted, what's
[34:30] Speaker 3: that accepted?
[34:32] Speaker 4: Like that shows you how much she trusts him. Yeah,
[34:37] Speaker 4: so quickly, even seeing his game. Just in the few
[34:42] Speaker 4: days that she's been with Rizzo, she's like, you know what, listen,
[34:45] Speaker 4: you gotta trust somebody in this game.
[34:46] Speaker 2: At some point, why the heck not Rizzo? Why the
[34:49] Speaker 2: heck not? Why the heck, Why the heck not? Why
[34:50] Speaker 2: the heck not?
[34:51] Speaker 6: Rizzo told Si about d spilling the Idle secret, and
[34:55] Speaker 6: Serie says, if we can get D out, we just
[34:57] Speaker 6: might have to do it. And that brings up to
[35:00] Speaker 6: challenge time.
[35:01] Speaker 3: With Chase, everybody's favorite part of the episode. Guys, this
[35:08] Speaker 3: is going to be a long one, so buckle up,
[35:10] Speaker 3: bitches up for the challenge. The players will divide into
[35:14] Speaker 3: two groups of seven. The first obstacle is digging up
[35:16] Speaker 3: a massive boulder, reminiscent of Season three Survivor Africa and Ibody.
[35:21] Speaker 3: Remember that that's how they started the season. I think.
[35:24] Speaker 6: Uh.
[35:24] Speaker 3: Then they roll it through a series of obstacles, collecting
[35:27] Speaker 3: a back of keys along the way, A lot of.
[35:29] Speaker 2: Keys this season, it's like, Uh, there's the.
[35:32] Speaker 3: Billie Eilish boomerang idol, and then there's the I got
[35:36] Speaker 3: the keys Keys keys advantage.
[35:38] Speaker 2: To key change.
[35:40] Speaker 3: Get the boulder to the end where there's a giant
[35:42] Speaker 3: platform and you have to get all of your teammates
[35:44] Speaker 3: up the boulder onto the platform. Two of your players
[35:47] Speaker 3: will then complete a giant Survivor puzzle. The first group
[35:51] Speaker 3: to finish wins reward, which is Chinese food. The winning
[35:55] Speaker 3: team will also move on to another challenge where they
[35:57] Speaker 3: will be competing for individual immunity. The challenge is fairly
[36:01] Speaker 3: even off the jump, with Blue and a slight lead.
[36:03] Speaker 2: Do you have the breakdown of the teams by chance, Chase,
[36:08] Speaker 2: I have the breakdown of the of the winning team,
[36:11] Speaker 2: because I did. I did think it was interesting that
[36:13] Speaker 2: it was a school yard pick.
[36:14] Speaker 3: Yes, the captains were Giant and Christian. Now and we
[36:19] Speaker 3: can get into this a little bit. It does derail
[36:22] Speaker 3: me slightly. I'm sorry, Hey, what is this show if
[36:24] Speaker 3: not a derail Listen?
[36:25] Speaker 2: You have submitted yourself as a quality host.
[36:29] Speaker 3: Hey, accept Except Yeah, you could see that they both
[36:33] Speaker 3: had different strategies. Christian knew that they didn't need help
[36:35] Speaker 3: with the puzzle at the end. So Christian got both
[36:38] Speaker 3: Joe and Ozzy on his team, so he really piled
[36:41] Speaker 3: on the strength, where Jan Dre's team captain was like,
[36:44] Speaker 3: I can handle the boulder, I need help with the puzzle, yes,
[36:47] Speaker 3: And so he has a lot less strength.
[36:50] Speaker 4: And to Jandre's defense here he did this very same
[36:55] Speaker 4: challenge in his season.
[36:56] Speaker 2: Yes, and he crushed it.
[36:59] Speaker 4: Like what literally pushed the ball out almost immediately without
[37:04] Speaker 4: digging it by himself.
[37:05] Speaker 2: He was a bunch of whimpies.
[37:07] Speaker 4: Yeah, so I was intrigued to see him, uh kind
[37:11] Speaker 4: of gets beat strength wise by the other Joe getting
[37:18] Speaker 4: out Like I was impressed by that, by that team
[37:22] Speaker 4: and yeah, you know, yeah.
[37:25] Speaker 3: All the other really great players. You know, it's not
[37:27] Speaker 3: just a two man joh The challenge is fairly even
[37:32] Speaker 3: off the jump, though, with Blue and a slight lead
[37:34] Speaker 3: thanks to Joe and Ozzy. As we just said, and
[37:37] Speaker 3: what's great about this challenge is not much is really
[37:39] Speaker 3: happening with the boulder, but it's so big and heavy
[37:43] Speaker 3: that it makes it very visually exciting. So it's fun
[37:46] Speaker 3: to watch on TV even though they're just kind of
[37:48] Speaker 3: pushing a boulder.
[37:49] Speaker 2: Listen, in the words of Donkey from Shrack, look at
[37:51] Speaker 2: that boulder. Yeah, that's a nice bowl. That's a nice boulder.
[37:54] Speaker 3: We see Joe really working in this challenge. He's the
[37:57] Speaker 3: one climbing up the giant ball to rab the keys
[38:00] Speaker 3: for his team. He's also screaming like Orson Wells every
[38:04] Speaker 3: time he lifts the ball.
[38:06] Speaker 2: Wait, like who.
[38:08] Speaker 3: Wait?
[38:09] Speaker 2: Like who Orson Wells. Ah.
[38:12] Speaker 3: He's doing that every time he lifts the ball, and
[38:13] Speaker 3: he's doing it almost single handedly.
[38:15] Speaker 2: Purple takes the lead towards the.
[38:17] Speaker 3: End of the obstacles and Jandre the Giant is hoisting
[38:21] Speaker 3: up his teammates one at a time, all by himself.
[38:24] Speaker 3: But Blue actually gets it way quicker because they have
[38:28] Speaker 3: a great strategy going with Ozzie and Joe with getting
[38:31] Speaker 3: everyone up the ball. Joe is pretty much lifting them
[38:35] Speaker 3: up where Ozzie is waiting with.
[38:36] Speaker 2: A and pulling them up and they go so quickly.
[38:39] Speaker 6: Uh.
[38:40] Speaker 3: Then Jandre has to jump up on the ball by
[38:43] Speaker 3: himself for the Purple team. He does it in one
[38:47] Speaker 3: giant leap for mankind and does a wrestling bump onto
[38:50] Speaker 3: the platform's.
[38:52] Speaker 4: It's literally my least eavorite thing about Jondre the Giant
[38:55] Speaker 4: is his insistent on throwing himself.
[38:57] Speaker 2: On the ground.
[38:58] Speaker 3: Reason.
[38:58] Speaker 4: It's just like, dude, just sit down like a normal person.
[39:03] Speaker 2: He just like, raw, I'm gonna throw my body on
[39:06] Speaker 2: the ground.
[39:07] Speaker 6: I couldn't get over the fact that he got up
[39:09] Speaker 6: that boulder by himself successfully and then he botches just
[39:14] Speaker 6: going from boulder to the platform. Yeah, because he slammed
[39:17] Speaker 6: the back of his head onto the wood. Yeah, And
[39:20] Speaker 6: it looked like he was concussed.
[39:22] Speaker 3: He might be, and that's why he went after d
[39:25] Speaker 3: so hard for the puzzle. I think the edit made
[39:28] Speaker 3: it seem closer than it actually was when I was
[39:30] Speaker 3: watching it back. It's Christian coach versus fucking Christian and Emily.
[39:36] Speaker 3: Christian and Emily crush it as always, they're both extremely smart,
[39:39] Speaker 3: but there was a moment where the edit made it
[39:41] Speaker 3: seem like Christian and Emily were going to lose. Yeah,
[39:44] Speaker 3: because Joe's like, Christian, go faster, He's going go, go go, Christian, come,
[39:48] Speaker 3: and he's screaming at him. And when I was watching
[39:49] Speaker 3: it back, I look at the other puzzle with Coach
[39:51] Speaker 3: and he's like holding a piece in his hand like
[39:53] Speaker 3: there's no, it's not closed.
[39:54] Speaker 2: I think that was the edit.
[39:56] Speaker 4: But Christian also looked out of it, like he looked zonked.
[40:00] Speaker 4: Starting at this point for the rest of the episode,
[40:02] Speaker 4: Christian looked completely like out of it.
[40:05] Speaker 3: Christian I think is running out of steam. He played
[40:08] Speaker 3: really hard so far this season. I think he's getting exhausted.
[40:12] Speaker 2: Now let me throw something.
[40:13] Speaker 4: What if he actually really did hurt himself on that fall,
[40:17] Speaker 4: the fake fall that he took, he doesn't remember where
[40:21] Speaker 4: he is or who Still, he still played really hard
[40:24] Speaker 4: in this challenge, so I don't think an injury has
[40:25] Speaker 4: anything to do with it.
[40:26] Speaker 3: But uh so, because of Christian and Emily, their team wins.
[40:31] Speaker 3: That brings us to the next Challenge for Individual Immunity.
[40:33] Speaker 3: The players competing for individual immunity are Devin's Christian, Joe, Steph, Ozzie,
[40:40] Speaker 3: d and Emily. They have to stand on a balance
[40:44] Speaker 3: beam while balancing a ball at the end of a
[40:46] Speaker 3: long pole classic. This one seems really hard. It's balance,
[40:50] Speaker 3: its strength, and its endurance. But it's a piece of
[40:53] Speaker 3: cake for my motherfucking boy Ozzie Challenge beast. Ozzie outlasts everyone,
[41:00] Speaker 3: but Joe and d both put up a great fight,
[41:02] Speaker 3: making it to the last stage of the balance being.
[41:04] Speaker 2: I did feel for Stephanie, who already had to have her.
[41:06] Speaker 3: Arm up in that episode.
[41:08] Speaker 4: Thought she literally said that that's gonna be the downfall
[41:12] Speaker 4: of heel.
[41:13] Speaker 6: If you will do you want to give a little
[41:15] Speaker 6: disclaimer before you say that, like, hey, I know about
[41:17] Speaker 6: Stephanie and blah blah blah blah blah, but I did
[41:19] Speaker 6: feel for a little bit you don't want to do that.
[41:21] Speaker 4: Well, I will say it's hard for her to lift
[41:24] Speaker 4: up her arms for a long time, like it's hard
[41:26] Speaker 4: for her to lift others.
[41:27] Speaker 2: Up and encourage them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, understanding and whatnot.
[41:30] Speaker 2: So I should be a surprise.
[41:33] Speaker 3: I don't have to make that disclaimer every time if
[41:35] Speaker 3: I don't want to, because I'm not the one actively
[41:37] Speaker 3: defending her every podcast.
[41:39] Speaker 2: Hey, this Stephanie thing was a bit. And then I
[41:41] Speaker 2: did my taxes.
[41:41] Speaker 3: And it's not a bit. Yeah, Beating did his taxes
[41:46] Speaker 3: other and texted me and he said, maybe it is
[41:48] Speaker 3: a big beautiful bill.
[41:52] Speaker 2: Hey, that was off the record. As a business owner,
[41:55] Speaker 2: I thought I a big beautiful bill. This was helpful.
[42:00] Speaker 3: Uh, it wasn't helpful for me.
[42:01] Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, you gotta just know what you gotta. You
[42:03] Speaker 2: gotta get a guy I got because you said about Stephanie.
[42:07] Speaker 2: That's why you got targeted with the Yeah, yeah, that's true.
[42:09] Speaker 3: I didn't defend Stephanie, so I got I got hit
[42:12] Speaker 3: hard guys. Really fun thing about this challenge and Ozzie
[42:16] Speaker 3: winning individual munity. This is his first individual ammunity win
[42:18] Speaker 3: in fifteen years, his eighth total individual munity. The record
[42:24] Speaker 3: is nine by Boston Robb, maybe ahead of him. Could
[42:29] Speaker 3: Ozzy break the record this season?
[42:31] Speaker 2: Now?
[42:32] Speaker 3: I do want to ask this question. I believe how
[42:36] Speaker 3: many times has Boston Robb played?
[42:38] Speaker 2: Too many? Not enough?
[42:40] Speaker 3: He played five seasons. This is Ozzie's fourth. Yeah, so
[42:46] Speaker 3: Boston robb has had a whole extra game. Ozzie could
[42:50] Speaker 3: break the record in less games, which I think would
[42:53] Speaker 3: be even more impressive.
[42:54] Speaker 2: Ozzie is the challenge.
[42:55] Speaker 4: Go well, and Ozzie has made every jury something that
[42:59] Speaker 4: Boston robb Iss done.
[43:00] Speaker 2: Whoa, yeah for what that's worth.
[43:03] Speaker 6: Yeah, I was watching Ozzie win and I was like,
[43:06] Speaker 6: Chase is going to be doing backflips?
[43:07] Speaker 2: Yeah, that was so old. I really liked it. Ozzie's
[43:12] Speaker 2: so great really, and.
[43:13] Speaker 4: You know what, the Aussie I've been the most pleasantly
[43:17] Speaker 4: surprised by Colby.
[43:18] Speaker 2: Yes, really, I was happy that he was back.
[43:21] Speaker 4: I enjoyed it, and I've been I've really enjoyed Ozzie
[43:23] Speaker 4: this season.
[43:25] Speaker 3: It really shook me that Ozzie hasn't played in fifteen years. Yeah,
[43:28] Speaker 3: that's crazy.
[43:29] Speaker 4: We're getting old, man, even though we've both watched these
[43:33] Speaker 4: seasons as adults within the past few years.
[43:37] Speaker 2: We're getting old old. It's crazy. Whoa time flies? Dang dude,
[43:42] Speaker 2: fifteen years ago, I was fifteen. I can't believe I
[43:46] Speaker 2: watched him play. That's the first time.
[43:48] Speaker 3: I'm not ago.
[43:49] Speaker 6: I watched him play for the first time when I
[43:51] Speaker 6: was six. Yeah, I was p D back then. I'm
[43:54] Speaker 6: just pee now because of.
[43:56] Speaker 3: I was eleven the last time he won individual immunich
[44:00] Speaker 3: How about that? So is PD brand? You were what
[44:02] Speaker 3: twenty eight, twenty nine?
[44:06] Speaker 2: I was nineteen?
[44:07] Speaker 3: Wow?
[44:08] Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're in college still an adult. Well that's
[44:10] Speaker 4: sweet of you to think that I did.
[44:12] Speaker 2: But do you not go to college? Do you do?
[44:16] Speaker 3: I strike you as someone who has Yeah, you were
[44:18] Speaker 3: a teacher. I know, what does America come to? Our
[44:23] Speaker 3: teachers don't have degrees? Jesus those who can't do teach.
[44:27] Speaker 3: That's exactly right, That's what I said during Are you
[44:30] Speaker 3: supposed to shape the future of academia?
[44:32] Speaker 6: Now we've got the winners enjoying their Chinese food. The
[44:35] Speaker 6: losers are back at camp. Let's check in on the
[44:37] Speaker 6: losers where it's Tiffy time.
[44:42] Speaker 1: It's Tiffy time.
[44:44] Speaker 6: Tiff is told by multiple people it's either D or
[44:47] Speaker 6: Aubrey tonight, and tiff thinks it's really stupid to send
[44:50] Speaker 6: D home because she's a winner, she's a huge shield.
[44:52] Speaker 6: But Tiffany isn't going to destroy her own game to
[44:55] Speaker 6: try to save D.
[44:57] Speaker 2: But once again, she's right. Mmmm, So do with that
[45:02] Speaker 2: what you will.
[45:03] Speaker 6: Aubrey says she's going to play the idol for real
[45:05] Speaker 6: this time. She's not gonna forget about it, and then
[45:08] Speaker 6: she dances with Coach. Yeah she did. And then while
[45:11] Speaker 6: telling series she's gonna actually play it, sersa, I don't forget.
[45:14] Speaker 6: And then that was a weird of the dance sing
[45:17] Speaker 6: selection of clips that they kind of yeah.
[45:20] Speaker 2: I mean, it looked like she was having a great time.
[45:24] Speaker 2: She wants to be there. She does. You know, I've
[45:27] Speaker 2: come around on her. I offer you my whole team.
[45:29] Speaker 2: That is very true.
[45:32] Speaker 6: Jan Dre pitches to Coach and Chrissy that if Aubrey's
[45:35] Speaker 6: playing her idol, let's split the votes on Tiffany seven
[45:38] Speaker 6: on D four on Tiffany. And now Coach has to
[45:40] Speaker 6: figure out who's voting for Tiffany because most people are
[45:43] Speaker 6: gonna want to be in the majority. Obviously, but Coach says,
[45:46] Speaker 6: when the army needs a general, you can always count
[45:49] Speaker 6: on me to lead. So he goes around trying to
[45:52] Speaker 6: find volunteers in for the Tiffany. I thought we were
[45:56] Speaker 6: setting up Coach's downfall here because he's talking about how
[46:00] Speaker 6: he said that he wasn't going to do it, but
[46:02] Speaker 6: now he's leading the votes. He's telling people how to vote.
[46:05] Speaker 6: The d dragon is going to get slain.
[46:08] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[46:08] Speaker 6: And then Devn's he tells Christian because Devon's is one
[46:12] Speaker 6: of the people that Coach is talking about this way
[46:14] Speaker 6: so dumb. Yeah, Devon's told Christian that Coach said Christian
[46:18] Speaker 6: can't vote Tiffany because he's one of the flippy floppy
[46:21] Speaker 6: middle people. And then Christian doesn't take too kindly to
[46:24] Speaker 6: being called that he asked Coach about the vote split.
[46:27] Speaker 6: And now Coach is pissed that Christian knows about the
[46:29] Speaker 6: split in the first place, right, and coaches on a
[46:32] Speaker 6: mission to find out who said it to a Christian.
[46:35] Speaker 4: He well, he does this by confronting everybody about this.
[46:40] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[46:40] Speaker 4: But he goes up to Devons and he's like, hey,
[46:43] Speaker 4: someone's telling the middle people.
[46:46] Speaker 2: And then who was it that?
[46:47] Speaker 4: When I like pulled coach aside, was like, hey, you
[46:49] Speaker 4: can't be telling Devns about the middle people. The Wizard, Oh,
[46:55] Speaker 4: you can't tell because he's in the middle.
[46:57] Speaker 3: Yeah, and then Rizzo gets a confessional where he goes,
[47:00] Speaker 3: why am I a twenty two year old having to
[47:03] Speaker 3: tell someone done at my age how to play survivor?
[47:07] Speaker 4: But you know, what we've been talking about giving a
[47:09] Speaker 4: lot of players kudos for their growth. Yes, kudos to
[47:14] Speaker 4: coach for I believe for the first time ever in
[47:16] Speaker 4: the history of the game, being like, oh, no, I
[47:18] Speaker 4: made a mistake, because he does in a confessionals be like,
[47:21] Speaker 4: I blew it, like I didn't mean to tell him that.
[47:25] Speaker 3: And it's also very funny because we know Devn's is
[47:28] Speaker 3: the one that told Christian. You know what this tells
[47:30] Speaker 3: me Christian and Devons are doing a great job of
[47:32] Speaker 3: keeping their alliance secret. Where Coach goes to Devon's and says, man,
[47:37] Speaker 3: someone's telling Christian stuff, which is crazy to me.
[47:40] Speaker 4: Yeah, because we've seen that. We've seen them together, like
[47:42] Speaker 4: they're over there cuddling on the Hammett too busy doing
[47:46] Speaker 4: his ikus by himself.
[47:50] Speaker 6: Rizzo he also told coach, we slay dragons at tribal,
[47:54] Speaker 6: we don't do it at camp. It's insane that Rizzo
[47:57] Speaker 6: is like coaching coach in this moment. And then we
[48:01] Speaker 6: have Emily who thinks that coach is losing it a
[48:03] Speaker 6: little bit. Right after she says this, Coach says, he says,
[48:07] Speaker 6: the metaphor in here is this cowardly people haiku. So
[48:12] Speaker 6: he started the haiku with cowardly people, and then interrupted
[48:14] Speaker 6: himself to say, haiku. So let's let's start that over here.
[48:17] Speaker 6: Cowardly people make easy decisions hard.
[48:21] Speaker 2: Make easy decisions hard. Great, what the flying fuck? Okay, yes,
[48:28] Speaker 2: so he got one. He did it. Devin's Christian Emily.
[48:32] Speaker 2: They're sick of coach.
[48:33] Speaker 6: Maybe all this d and Aubrey stuff was just a
[48:35] Speaker 6: smoke screen and coaches going home tonight. Let's find out
[48:39] Speaker 6: at tribal okay. There, Yeah, we need to Let's go
[48:45] Speaker 6: to tribal sound, I'll work shop, going to.
[48:53] Speaker 2: Going to travel. We're going to travel.
[48:56] Speaker 3: Were going to travel.
[49:08] Speaker 6: You're listening to one O eight point five. That was
[49:10] Speaker 6: Johnny Sexy with his new track We're going to Tribal Okay.
[49:16] Speaker 6: The song couldn't be bothered to show up? Should have
[49:23] Speaker 6: named this song? Got an undisclosed woman to do my
[49:25] Speaker 6: voice memo because I'm.
[49:26] Speaker 2: Too lazy insane to me.
[49:29] Speaker 6: Okay, here here's what coach had to say at the tribal.
[49:34] Speaker 6: This is what coach said. The first thing Coach said
[49:36] Speaker 6: only in silence, the word only in darkness, the light
[49:41] Speaker 6: only in dishonesty.
[49:43] Speaker 2: The truth.
[49:45] Speaker 6: Now could one of you translate that because Devin's he
[49:47] Speaker 6: was asked to and he said, I'm not the right
[49:49] Speaker 6: person to do that. No, I think I kind of
[49:53] Speaker 6: get it. Okay, I'm not going to share it with you, guys. Okay,
[49:56] Speaker 6: this is from me and coach.
[49:57] Speaker 2: I think how Jeff ended up describing it is correct.
[50:06] Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I think it's the uh, it's just
[50:08] Speaker 6: the you can't have good without evil. But he's you know,
[50:11] Speaker 6: he's giving us multiple examples with that.
[50:14] Speaker 2: That was it was.
[50:16] Speaker 6: It was a fun tribal over it was a fun tribal.
[50:19] Speaker 6: We had baby, Yeah, we're back. We had Suri, when
[50:23] Speaker 6: we had Joe, who he gave an analogy about firefighting
[50:27] Speaker 6: and then Si just shot all over it and poked
[50:29] Speaker 6: a bunch of holes into it. And then later in
[50:31] Speaker 6: the tribal, Joe's like, okay, I'm not bringing up being
[50:33] Speaker 6: a firefighter again.
[50:34] Speaker 2: Don't worry.
[50:35] Speaker 3: It was really cool watching a fourteen person tribal counts
[50:39] Speaker 3: loved it.
[50:39] Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so cool. Imagine if it was seventeen. Yeah,
[50:41] Speaker 2: that would have been insane. Would have been awesome.
[50:43] Speaker 6: Now, let's talk about when things really got juicy. Dean
[50:45] Speaker 6: knows that she's the target. She tells everybody, don't be stupid,
[50:49] Speaker 6: use me as a number. Jonathan calls her a liar,
[50:51] Speaker 6: and D is like, yeah, we all lie, we all sing,
[50:54] Speaker 6: as Victoria Justice once said, But she said that you're
[50:57] Speaker 6: the only person I blindsided, and then D throws a
[51:00] Speaker 6: wrench into things. Chase talk about how this play that
[51:03] Speaker 6: D made, if you think it could have worked, or
[51:07] Speaker 6: what you thought of it in the moment.
[51:09] Speaker 3: She gets up and she starts whispering in everyone's ears,
[51:12] Speaker 3: Vote Coach, vote coach.
[51:13] Speaker 2: I got the votes. I got the votes. Vote coach.
[51:15] Speaker 2: Ozzie goes, oh, I've never been a part of this before.
[51:18] Speaker 2: We had a lot travel. Funny travel, right are is D?
[51:22] Speaker 3: Actually? D actually gave a few people a heads up
[51:28] Speaker 3: earlier in the episode, being like, Hey, at tribal, it's
[51:31] Speaker 3: gonna be a live tribal.
[51:32] Speaker 2: Just a heads up.
[51:32] Speaker 3: I'm let you know what I'm doing. Uh. If this
[51:34] Speaker 3: would have worked, If she would have pulled this off
[51:37] Speaker 3: and got everyone at the live tribal to vote out Coach,
[51:42] Speaker 3: she would have been by far the most dominant player
[51:45] Speaker 3: of the New Era, the best player of the New
[51:47] Speaker 3: Era by far. This was such a great strategy she
[51:50] Speaker 3: knew she was at the bottom. She had to throw
[51:51] Speaker 3: a hell Mary pass. I think there's too many old
[51:54] Speaker 3: era players still in the game for it to have worked,
[51:57] Speaker 3: because they are very much I'm sticking with what we
[51:59] Speaker 3: talked about before got here. But it was a really.
[52:02] Speaker 2: Great move and I'm sorry it didn't work.
[52:04] Speaker 4: I wonder who told her it's not working, Like, at
[52:09] Speaker 4: some point she must have come to the conclusion it's
[52:11] Speaker 4: not gonna happen because she plays her shot in the
[52:13] Speaker 4: dark spoiler.
[52:14] Speaker 2: Alert, right, yeah, for everyone who's already seen the episode.
[52:17] Speaker 4: So she goes to tell talk to all everybody that
[52:20] Speaker 4: she thinks that she can get yes, hey, vote for coach.
[52:24] Speaker 2: I think I got the numbers.
[52:25] Speaker 4: At some point she had to come to the realization
[52:27] Speaker 4: I don't have the numbers because if she plays a
[52:30] Speaker 4: shot in the dark and it works, she could live.
[52:33] Speaker 2: That could literally cost me.
[52:34] Speaker 3: I did think about that when I saw her play
[52:35] Speaker 3: her shot in the dark. I was like, if she
[52:38] Speaker 3: loses by one vote, yeah, that's on her.
[52:41] Speaker 2: She clearly knew it wasn't working.
[52:42] Speaker 4: I wonder if somebody was like, hey, it's not you
[52:44] Speaker 4: should I could see like a serabiing like, hey, we're
[52:48] Speaker 4: not it's not gonna work.
[52:50] Speaker 3: Play a shot in the dark, something like something, or
[52:52] Speaker 3: she could have just known from the response. Is everyone
[52:54] Speaker 3: given her? But p D.
[52:55] Speaker 2: Let me get your opinion on this.
[52:57] Speaker 3: When the music started ramping up after she played her
[52:59] Speaker 3: shot in the dark, did you think for a second
[53:01] Speaker 3: it was going.
[53:02] Speaker 2: To be safe?
[53:03] Speaker 6: I mean there's a one in six chance, So of
[53:06] Speaker 6: course I'm standing up. I'm saying, come on, baby, let
[53:10] Speaker 6: it be safe. And then it wasn't, And then my
[53:13] Speaker 6: heart got ripped out.
[53:14] Speaker 3: If it would have said safe, this would have been
[53:17] Speaker 3: an epic moment.
[53:18] Speaker 6: Yeah, I would have lost my mind. But Tiffany would
[53:20] Speaker 6: have gone home, not coach, which is very interesting. So
[53:23] Speaker 6: let's talk about the votes. We got one vote Coach,
[53:25] Speaker 6: four votes, tiff seven votes for D, and D is
[53:29] Speaker 6: the eleventh person voted out and the first member of
[53:32] Speaker 6: our jury.
[53:33] Speaker 4: I will say I did get like slightly nervous for
[53:36] Speaker 4: a second when I realized that tiff was the only
[53:39] Speaker 4: one to write down coaches name, Yeah, because I was like, well,
[53:43] Speaker 4: there's a chance, like if I don't think tiff was
[53:45] Speaker 4: ever going to vote for D. But it would have
[53:48] Speaker 4: been crazy if that was to vote that cost her
[53:50] Speaker 4: or something like that.
[53:51] Speaker 3: Yeah, but it didn't. It's also very interesting. This episode
[53:56] Speaker 3: is awesome. I think we all agree we're back.
[53:58] Speaker 2: Great, this is what we want episode.
[54:01] Speaker 3: I really loved watching the old school players strategize against
[54:06] Speaker 3: the Shot in the Dark. We've seen a million times
[54:09] Speaker 3: people split the vote in case of an IDOL play,
[54:12] Speaker 3: but we watched Coach and company prepare for a shot
[54:16] Speaker 3: in the Dark play.
[54:17] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[54:18] Speaker 3: Very cool.
[54:18] Speaker 2: I don't think we've seen the Shot.
[54:19] Speaker 3: In the Dark played this much in the past two
[54:22] Speaker 3: or three seasons. We've seen it played twice so far
[54:26] Speaker 3: this season. I don't even think they played one last season.
[54:29] Speaker 3: I don't remember. Does anybody remember forty nine?
[54:31] Speaker 4: But I mean I know Mary obviously played it her season, Yeah,
[54:36] Speaker 4: and that was incredible.
[54:38] Speaker 2: I played it and got it his season. Yeah.
[54:40] Speaker 6: But you know, Chase has talked about multiple things that
[54:43] Speaker 6: made him emotional this season. Watching d get voted out,
[54:48] Speaker 6: I started to tear up a little bit.
[54:49] Speaker 8: I didn't expect it to hurt as bad as it did, well,
[54:53] Speaker 8: especially because you didn't you weren't planning on drafting her
[54:57] Speaker 8: to begin with, But then you know she's stuck around
[54:59] Speaker 8: in this is my memory.
[55:01] Speaker 4: But she stuck around on the drafting. You know what,
[55:03] Speaker 4: you were like, you know what, it's my girl. Yep,
[55:06] Speaker 4: I'm going for it.
[55:07] Speaker 3: He has officially lost his first player this season. He
[55:10] Speaker 3: still has five players going into the final thirteen.
[55:13] Speaker 2: Yeah, he has five. I have four, and then you
[55:15] Speaker 2: and two.
[55:17] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[55:17] Speaker 6: And Chase is talking about like at the beginning of
[55:19] Speaker 6: this episode, Oh, PD, you lose one player and you're
[55:22] Speaker 6: so sad I've lost most of my team. Well, you
[55:25] Speaker 6: don't understand how it feels. D is somebody who obviously
[55:31] Speaker 6: means a lot to me, of course, And it's not
[55:33] Speaker 6: just because she won me a trophy. You know, That's
[55:36] Speaker 6: not the reason why I respect her game so much.
[55:38] Speaker 6: It's not just because I'm in love with her, you know,
[55:41] Speaker 6: has nothing to do with it. It's because she legitimately did
[55:44] Speaker 6: play the most dominant game of the New Era. And
[55:47] Speaker 6: I don't think that her, you know, not playing as
[55:50] Speaker 6: good of a game this time takes that away.
[55:51] Speaker 2: Because it's not even the New Era anymore. We're in
[55:54] Speaker 2: something else. Now Here's what what I'm going to say.
[55:56] Speaker 2: You are in something else.
[55:57] Speaker 4: I mean, look, count the players that are left, how
[56:00] Speaker 4: many how many new I don't know.
[56:03] Speaker 6: Old has it, They have the most very interesting and
[56:07] Speaker 6: the New Era is always a stupid name because ten
[56:09] Speaker 6: years from now, are we still gonna call it that?
[56:12] Speaker 2: But she still is the most dominant player.
[56:16] Speaker 3: Rachel.
[56:17] Speaker 2: We are now post blood Moon.
[56:20] Speaker 3: Yeah, the game has changed forever. This is a totally
[56:24] Speaker 3: different thing.
[56:25] Speaker 4: You know what it's like to have one tribal. You
[56:28] Speaker 4: know what it's like to have two tribles. We now
[56:30] Speaker 4: know what it's like to have three tribles. The game
[56:31] Speaker 4: will never be the same. And we know what it's
[56:33] Speaker 4: like to have fourteen people in a tribal. It's true,
[56:37] Speaker 4: it's the biggest tribal ever. Great, you know what, Chase,
[56:39] Speaker 4: You are right.
[56:40] Speaker 6: Rachel would have gotten through this because Saul would have
[56:43] Speaker 6: given her a get out of jail free card and
[56:46] Speaker 6: then she wouldn't have had to do anything, and then
[56:49] Speaker 6: she would have made it through him.
[56:50] Speaker 2: I'm being I am being perfectly objective.
[56:55] Speaker 3: So I was willing to give d the greatest New
[56:58] Speaker 3: Era player.
[57:00] Speaker 6: She already had the greatest New Era season, and like
[57:02] Speaker 6: if she if she is a back to back winner
[57:05] Speaker 6: and does everything perfectly in season fifty, then she can
[57:07] Speaker 6: be the most dumb.
[57:08] Speaker 2: I was gonna give it to her to night.
[57:09] Speaker 3: If she just survived this tribal because she was playing
[57:11] Speaker 3: a great game, I don't think that her. We're not
[57:16] Speaker 3: going to get into this fight again. I want to
[57:18] Speaker 3: talk a little bit more about it.
[57:19] Speaker 2: She was playing a great game, and that's why she
[57:21] Speaker 2: went home. She was. Yes, she's a little sloppy this
[57:24] Speaker 2: season I think the whole reason why she went home
[57:26] Speaker 2: is like she just she made mistakes.
[57:29] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[57:29] Speaker 2: Well, I mean, yeah, of course, but you can say
[57:31] Speaker 2: that for everyone, not necessarily. I think that considering she
[57:33] Speaker 2: is a former winner and she made it farther than
[57:37] Speaker 2: the other former.
[57:37] Speaker 3: Winners, shows that she played a good game and she
[57:40] Speaker 3: did her best.
[57:43] Speaker 2: What So, now that I'm defending dpd's just gonna stay quiet.
[57:46] Speaker 2: I want you to keep going.
[57:47] Speaker 3: I do want to keep talking about d a little
[57:49] Speaker 3: bit because in her Entertainment Weekly, uh interview today, Uh,
[57:56] Speaker 3: there's some drama.
[57:57] Speaker 2: There's a lot of drama. There's so much drama.
[57:59] Speaker 3: Fifth she says in the interview that the live final
[58:04] Speaker 3: tribal that we get this year is they're gonna all
[58:08] Speaker 3: talk about it. Apparently.
[58:09] Speaker 2: If you think that.
[58:10] Speaker 3: There was drama with the pregaming and there was stuff
[58:12] Speaker 3: going on during the season. It's got nothing on what
[58:15] Speaker 3: happened post game. Oh, apparently people are at each other's throats.
[58:19] Speaker 3: She talks about. She gets asked by Entertainment Weekly, hey,
[58:24] Speaker 3: have you spoken to Charlie after calling him the dumbest
[58:26] Speaker 3: player out there? And she goes, I tried to reach
[58:30] Speaker 3: out to him several times. He wouldn't answer me. Finally
[58:34] Speaker 3: we talked about it and he said he was hurt.
[58:37] Speaker 3: I want to read you guys what D says about this,
[58:40] Speaker 3: because it made me laugh so hard. Essentially, Charlie's a
[58:44] Speaker 3: bitter person. We know this because the Lord he is
[58:48] Speaker 3: now furious with D. I reached out to him a
[58:50] Speaker 3: few times. He never responded back, and at one point
[58:53] Speaker 3: I'm like, let me just crack jokes, and I'm like,
[58:55] Speaker 3: all right, if you hate me, just say that, you know,
[58:57] Speaker 3: like I was just cracking jokes. And it finally got
[58:59] Speaker 3: to the point where I'm like, all right, what the
[59:01] Speaker 3: heck is happening, what's going on, Let's just talk about it.
[59:04] Speaker 3: And you know, he told me he was hurt and
[59:07] Speaker 3: blah blah blah, and we talked about it, and we've
[59:10] Speaker 3: had a few text exchanges, but it doesn't seem like
[59:13] Speaker 3: anything's gonna come from it. Interview goes I'm sorry, and
[59:16] Speaker 3: she goes, oh, it's okay with me. I'm sure it's
[59:18] Speaker 3: okay with him too, was it? Why is it okay
[59:20] Speaker 3: with you just because you can let that go. I
[59:23] Speaker 3: love to play the game with people who when you
[59:25] Speaker 3: get out of the game, you can laugh, not just
[59:27] Speaker 3: at what people are saying, but at yourself too. And
[59:30] Speaker 3: this is a season where a lot of people are
[59:32] Speaker 3: not It doesn't seem like they're enjoying the experience.
[59:35] Speaker 2: But I think for me, I'm enjoying it.
[59:37] Speaker 3: I'm okay with it with any person because I come
[59:40] Speaker 3: from a place of privilege. I won my season, I
[59:43] Speaker 3: did it, I got everything, so I kind of went
[59:46] Speaker 3: into fifty without having to prove anything, without having to
[59:49] Speaker 3: worry about tainting my reputation.
[59:51] Speaker 2: That does an answer for someone who wants to play again, too, dude.
[59:53] Speaker 4: There's been a lot of post game interviews that I've
[59:56] Speaker 4: been like, this person is blowing it up. They don't
[59:58] Speaker 4: care about playing it, and Camilla is one of them.
[1:00:01] Speaker 4: I've like a lot of Camilla's answers are like, Camilla
[1:00:03] Speaker 4: doesn't care if she plays again, and that's fine. It's
[1:00:05] Speaker 4: not for me because I want to see Kmeilo plays
[1:00:06] Speaker 4: as many times as she wants to. But D clearly
[1:00:09] Speaker 4: like with.
[1:00:10] Speaker 2: These she's awesome, like all of her I mean it
[1:00:14] Speaker 2: was cutting promos.
[1:00:15] Speaker 4: D literally is on the record who one of the
[1:00:18] Speaker 4: people that was there.
[1:00:19] Speaker 2: It might have been Dalton that was there early on
[1:00:21] Speaker 2: in the season.
[1:00:22] Speaker 4: Literally has D on record asking Jeff, hey, is the
[1:00:25] Speaker 4: season going Okay?
[1:00:27] Speaker 2: She was an on fire co host.
[1:00:30] Speaker 3: She's very much she played on the Challenge, She's very
[1:00:32] Speaker 3: much a CBS person. She's gonna be in the same
[1:00:34] Speaker 3: role as like a par of her, a Boston rob
[1:00:35] Speaker 3: going probably in the hopefully as she should.
[1:00:38] Speaker 4: Yeah, she's a great player. I can see her winning again.
[1:00:41] Speaker 4: What do I do think that this was not great
[1:00:43] Speaker 4: for her? And I think she's gonna go back and
[1:00:45] Speaker 4: wash her tape and make the change that she needs to. Ye.
[1:00:48] Speaker 3: And I hope one thing that CBS and Jeff realizes
[1:00:50] Speaker 3: watching this season is like, it's fun to see a
[1:00:52] Speaker 3: player come back for the fourth time. Yeah, and hopefully
[1:00:56] Speaker 3: we'll get some new era players coming back in the future.
[1:00:58] Speaker 3: But I wanted to rethink D in you because I
[1:01:01] Speaker 3: think it just shows how cool D is where she
[1:01:03] Speaker 3: was like Charlie's bitter.
[1:01:04] Speaker 2: Fuck him.
[1:01:05] Speaker 3: Everybody who has a problem with me, get over it. It's
[1:01:07] Speaker 3: a game I won. Yeah, get over it.
[1:01:10] Speaker 6: D was awesome in her original season. She was awesome
[1:01:14] Speaker 6: in the pregame press, she was awesome during the season,
[1:01:17] Speaker 6: and now she's awesome in the postgame interview.
[1:01:19] Speaker 2: Stough, She's just awesome.
[1:01:21] Speaker 4: Apparently this morning on CBS they asked her who she
[1:01:24] Speaker 4: thinks she's gonna win?
[1:01:25] Speaker 2: Why want to go back and watch this? Who? Did
[1:01:28] Speaker 2: she say?
[1:01:28] Speaker 6: Oh?
[1:01:28] Speaker 2: Wait, I don't know.
[1:01:30] Speaker 4: I know, well, I guess technically they haven't announced the
[1:01:35] Speaker 4: winner or was the question.
[1:01:38] Speaker 2: So maybe that's what they meant, but she knows, But
[1:01:41] Speaker 2: was the question like when you got voted out? Who
[1:01:44] Speaker 2: did you think I have to go?
[1:01:45] Speaker 4: All I've seen is a quote, Okay, it just says,
[1:01:48] Speaker 4: who do you think she's gonna wine?
[1:01:50] Speaker 2: Come on, Gail, come on friendly fire on CBA. Hey,
[1:01:54] Speaker 2: who do you think?
[1:01:55] Speaker 4: So let's see if we can uh screw you out
[1:01:57] Speaker 4: of your NBA. Yeah, I I thought this episode was
[1:02:03] Speaker 4: great back to form and I will also say this,
[1:02:07] Speaker 4: I watched Rob's Making the Merge podcast. I watched Rob's
[1:02:12] Speaker 4: interview with mister Beast was a really enjoyable interview, really,
[1:02:17] Speaker 4: and I find that hard to believe. I'm pretty like
[1:02:21] Speaker 4: I'm not a beast lover by any but I also like,
[1:02:31] Speaker 4: I don't hate mister Beast as much as a lot
[1:02:33] Speaker 4: of people do.
[1:02:34] Speaker 3: I'm gonna start publicly changing my opinion because I do
[1:02:37] Speaker 3: want to work with it.
[1:02:38] Speaker 2: Well, I I really, what was that Disney movie I'm
[1:02:43] Speaker 2: a beast lover? I risk, yeah, I risk.
[1:02:48] Speaker 4: I don't know officially even say respect what he does,
[1:02:50] Speaker 4: but I I just think he's really interesting.
[1:02:53] Speaker 2: I guess it is the easiest way to say it.
[1:02:54] Speaker 4: And so and I've seen interviews with him and like
[1:02:57] Speaker 4: everybody's just trying to suck up up to him, Yes,
[1:03:00] Speaker 4: And I didn't get that. Like Rob's just kind of like, hey,
[1:03:03] Speaker 4: here's the things that I didn't like about Beast games this,
[1:03:06] Speaker 4: and like I like that. So they do talk about Survivor.
[1:03:08] Speaker 4: There's only so much he can say. But one thing
[1:03:11] Speaker 4: that I appreciate about mister Beast is his He's very
[1:03:15] Speaker 4: in tuned with what people are saying about his shows,
[1:03:19] Speaker 4: but also about Survivtory. He's like, I'm not going on
[1:03:22] Speaker 4: to spearfish. I'm not going to do a whole thing.
[1:03:24] Speaker 4: It's not about me. I go on, I do a thing.
[1:03:27] Speaker 3: I respect that.
[1:03:27] Speaker 4: So hopefully that's true. And I don't know when it's
[1:03:31] Speaker 4: happening because I keep watching heavily.
[1:03:34] Speaker 2: You would think so.
[1:03:35] Speaker 4: But so it's not on next week's next week on Survivor,
[1:03:38] Speaker 4: I'm most going to.
[1:03:39] Speaker 2: Be saving Jimmy Fallon, for I forgot about Jimmy.
[1:03:43] Speaker 3: Twelve people left. But I don't even know if.
[1:03:45] Speaker 2: Jimmy Jimmy Fallon is not.
[1:03:47] Speaker 4: We haven't seen a clip of him on the beach,
[1:03:50] Speaker 4: so he could be another Billie Eilishya.
[1:03:53] Speaker 3: That's the question.
[1:03:54] Speaker 4: What do you guys think currently we only have Billy
[1:03:57] Speaker 4: Eilish boomerang idols, Zach Brown. But I'm just talking about advantages,
[1:04:01] Speaker 4: like we only have Billiy Eilish boomerang idols. Is Jimmy
[1:04:04] Speaker 4: Fallon gonna have a Jimmy Fallon idol? Is there gonna
[1:04:07] Speaker 4: be a different type of imagine It's going to be
[1:04:10] Speaker 4: a twist that was created by Fallon.
[1:04:13] Speaker 2: But do you think we're done with idols?
[1:04:16] Speaker 3: Yeah? I think we're gonna keep seeing the boomerang idols,
[1:04:18] Speaker 3: which in the chat last night, there was some confusion
[1:04:22] Speaker 3: about the boomerang idols. A few people thought that because
[1:04:26] Speaker 3: d no, no, no, sorry, because Ibby played her boomerang idol,
[1:04:32] Speaker 3: that it would boomerang to the person who gave it
[1:04:34] Speaker 3: to her.
[1:04:34] Speaker 2: That is not the case.
[1:04:36] Speaker 3: If you are voted out with a boomerang idol in
[1:04:39] Speaker 3: your pocket, it boomerangs back to the person who gave
[1:04:42] Speaker 3: it to you.
[1:04:43] Speaker 6: But I think that now that we're at the merge,
[1:04:46] Speaker 6: it's probably not gonna be a boomerang because it was
[1:04:48] Speaker 6: sending it to another camp.
[1:04:49] Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll probably just be a.
[1:04:51] Speaker 4: Regular So in theory, the idol that Aubrey played could.
[1:04:56] Speaker 2: Show back up in the game as a regular idol. Yeah.
[1:04:59] Speaker 2: But to wrap up this com versation about.
[1:05:00] Speaker 3: Fallon and Beast, Uh, you like how I call him
[1:05:04] Speaker 3: Fallon and Beast.
[1:05:05] Speaker 2: Sounds like a really weird I.
[1:05:09] Speaker 3: Think that we In the trailer for next week's episode,
[1:05:13] Speaker 3: Jeff makes it seem like there's going to be a
[1:05:15] Speaker 3: twist that could be a Jimmy Fallon twist.
[1:05:18] Speaker 6: Yes, it's the musical impression idol when you play it's
[1:05:22] Speaker 6: the lip sync battle boomerang idel. Jeff pulls a name
[1:05:26] Speaker 6: out of a hat when you play it, and then
[1:05:28] Speaker 6: you have to play it as the celebrity.
[1:05:31] Speaker 3: I'm playing in this. But he does say double the consequences,
[1:05:34] Speaker 3: So I'm I bet it's gonna be like a Jimmy
[1:05:36] Speaker 3: Fon twists, and then I think the beast thing is
[1:05:39] Speaker 3: going to be Final six, Final seven, like when we
[1:05:42] Speaker 3: have a very few players left, Jeff.
[1:05:44] Speaker 4: Jeff's explanation of the blood Moon tribal is the maddest
[1:05:49] Speaker 4: I've ever.
[1:05:49] Speaker 2: Been at Jeff.
[1:05:50] Speaker 4: Really, I just I don't feel like I can like
[1:05:53] Speaker 4: whoa because the way he set it up is fundamentally
[1:05:57] Speaker 4: not true. That is not going to change the game forever.
[1:06:01] Speaker 4: It's just not it was. It's never gonna happen again.
[1:06:04] Speaker 2: Did he meet?
[1:06:05] Speaker 3: Maybe he meant this season, like the game for this season,
[1:06:07] Speaker 3: because going home does change the game.
[1:06:09] Speaker 4: This is just not what he said, changing the game
[1:06:12] Speaker 4: of survivor pause for dramatic effect forever ever? Yeah, I
[1:06:19] Speaker 4: guess it could always be on people's minds at the merge.
[1:06:22] Speaker 2: Are we gonna have two tribals tonight or three tribles?
[1:06:25] Speaker 3: Sure?
[1:06:25] Speaker 2: I guess that changes it forever. Be gonna cry again
[1:06:29] Speaker 2: find out next time I'll find out. I don't know.
[1:06:32] Speaker 4: I'm a little uh hesitant on buying into whatever.
[1:06:38] Speaker 2: This is double the consequences a twist. Believe him, this
[1:06:42] Speaker 2: is what it is. It's double the concept.
[1:06:44] Speaker 6: So if it's double double the consequences of the last twist,
[1:06:47] Speaker 6: that means instead of losing three people, we have six
[1:06:50] Speaker 6: vote outs and then we are down to how many
[1:06:53] Speaker 6: we losing night.
[1:06:54] Speaker 2: Okay, so then be seven players next week six s
[1:06:59] Speaker 2: six We have said I will seven.
[1:07:01] Speaker 4: I can't wait for from now when Jeff does the
[1:07:03] Speaker 4: six seven, because it's finally caught out.
[1:07:05] Speaker 3: Six several, six, several. There's six weeks left and there's
[1:07:10] Speaker 3: thirteen people left. Yeah, yep, so we're gonna see some
[1:07:14] Speaker 3: more bloodshed. I'm sure more blood moon happenings. It's gonna
[1:07:18] Speaker 3: change the game forever. It's gonna change the game forever.
