he joined us for the 17th place round table but now here he is to talk about ninth placers it's brandon donlin hey last time i was here i ended the podcast i looked at you rob and i said i'll be back yeah this isn't the last time you're gonna see me and look yeah i got the invite i got the coveted invite we all won i got yeah no it was great to have brandon here because after the episode on wednesday he texted me loyal to susan boyle yeah ah yeah i dreamed a dream i dreamed a dream of time gone by you know um my spanish teacher one time we got in trouble like we the class got in trouble and then she made us watch that and there was some lesson there i don't remember what the lesson was but we watched the audition um i wish i could ask

her maybe i'll send it's a viral video. It was a viral video, especially in 2011 when I was a freshman in high school. Yeah. That's when the peak Susan Boyle, I think. Chappelle, if you have any good viral video recommendations that my kids are like asking me,

Dad, show us famous YouTube videos. Oh, they want to see the oldies, right? They want to see, oh yeah, from way back in the day. Yeah, it's like Nick at Night of Charlie Bit My Finger. Oh yeah, the who was the person who was smashing the grapes or uh wait uh scarlet takes a tumble is a good one yeah you can't forget that one um yeah double uh the double rainbow all that kind of stuff there there are some hits out there i think i'm pretty sure we

can find some of those and just create a playlist of just here are the viral moments that you might have forgotten from in the ancient days of what, 2009? Chad has too many going by. You got to give them to me later. OK. Evolution of dance, right? Yeah, that's a big one. It's a big one. OK.

All right. Brandon, how are you? I'm chill. Donlin. This is great. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's the last name treatment.

I asked for that, but I didn't. I didn't ask for that. I demand it. Sometimes you have to just put it down. That's, I said this, actually Tyson said this a couple days ago, that I said this to him. I'm tired of the new era. People asking. Oh, hot take alert.

You know, I love the new era. I was into it. I mean, for a minute, I was there. It is the new era. People asking. Oh, hot take alert. You know, I love the new era. I was in the new era. I mean, for a minute, I was there. Here's the new era. You were there. I don't like the asking for things from Jeff. Yeah. Like, I think maybe it didn't happen as much old era,

but I don't like that. And I love Gabe. And I love the Ray Lewis dance. I don't love Ray Lewis. I don't stand by some of those actions. But I don't like that, like, can I do a dance, right? Just do the dance, you know? Rome, can I sit in your seat? I think maybe Jeff Hoffman. I think Jeff Hoffman. He's not supposed

to ask to sit in the seat. He's supposed to get up and push him off the chair. Go sit in the seat. It's my time. I think you should just do it. Move, Jeff. Get out the way. Oh, no. Yeah, I'm over the asking. I think just, you know, season 49,

if you're listening to this and you're watching. You heard it here first. Brandon Donlan says, consent, not necessary. Nope. And also, the new era, he's a little bit over it. Any other hot takes? Yeah. Susan Boyle, I can give you a couple of bows

sb to the soil to the soil um yeah no incense consents awesome but just when you're on survivor oh not just but just this is you know we'll cut this this is fine yeah that's fine ask jeff to do anything just do the thing you want to do it and then and then if it if it doesn't work they're gonna say no no what are you doing right don't take that rice out your pocket yeah i'm dancing you know uh emily flippenden asked to dance she just started to shake she said i got it i started she just started dancing okay and honestly new era jeff he pretends to be spicy but he's a little bit of a pushover you know um okay i need four of you to sit out of a challenge. Really? No. Huh? Okay, can it be three? No.

Can we give you a shot of dark? No. Can we all give you a shot of dark? Okay, you crazy kids. Do what you want. I was like, Jeff, what happened? What happened? What are we doing here? Yeah, Jeff doesn't demand anything anymore. Just take whatever you want from him. Jeff hasn't been too spicy. He like, 46 was like peak spicy Jeff, and then, I hasn't been too spicy. He, like, 46 was, like, peak spicy Jeff.

And then, I don't know, it feels like, has he done anything that spicy in 47? He had the knife in 47. He was like, don't make me get it. Yeah. Don't make me get it. But, you know, he's like a grandparent now. You know, he's like, oh, back in my day,

you used to be really strict. But now in this new generation, you don't really, you know, do the things that you used to do. He's like, he's like, oh, back in my day, you used to be really strict. But now in this new generation, you don't really, you know, you don't do the things that you used to do. It's like he's not really. I just thought after 46, he was going to get progressively spicier. Brandon, I thought that the 40s was like an episode of Hot Ones. I thought it was like, OK, all right, here's over bringing this one out. OK, now we did. But they don't go backwards in the Scoville. We didn't hit the bomb normally, you know, around the eighth round,

you hit Da Bomb. We didn't do that. No, I think Jeff's maybe transitioned into like a subtle spicy. And again, not to reference Gabe's dance again, but go look at Jeff during Gabe's dance. Jeff didn't love the dance and he didn't have to say anything about it.

You know, he's just in the back. It was like De Niro face. He was like, huh. like yeah but not like the de niro face of seasons past you know just a couple seasons ago we got to your face which i believe danny did ask no i mean i'm talking about jeff's reaction to de niro face oh yeah and danny did say like hey can i do de niro face yeah yeah maybe that's where it started the asking is like you just you know just open with deniro just do deniro you know yeah he likes the audacity just like step into your own okay be like we're about to be 50 years old here on survivor okay survivor 50 is coming i don't need to come on here and try to prompt the players to do outrageous things y'all

want to keep the show going just as much as jeff does Do your thing. Step out there. Do your Ray Lewis dance. Whatever it is you got to do. And Jeff is going to tell you whether or not it's too far. Rachel, the rice, too far. The dancing? I'll go for it. It's fine. Sit in my chair. We can talk about it. So you referenced, Gabe said at the end of the episode,

I'll be back. What do you think about going completely the opposite direction? What if a survivor player gets voted out and says i'm never coming back okay you got me i'm never coming back you know what peace chapelle it's a win-win because either either you never come back and they say like well they wanted me i i tell them i tell them i'm never coming i'm a man of my word i said i'm never coming back or two like they do they like oh we need you back like uh it looks like that they you know they begged feet upon his desk you know you're like oh yeah

it's funny to see you on my phone a patch him in. That would be great. I agree. I agree. I think it's like, man, you were such a dynamic character. Yeah, I was, but you'll never see me again. That's it. I'm leaving. I'm never coming back. You're like, well, since you say it like that, it'd be cool if we got him back.

Wouldn't it be cool if we got him back? You know, it's like, yeah, you got to act like you don't want it. All right, come on, come on, come on back. Yeah, I like that better. I ain't never coming. Come on, come on, come on back. Yeah, I like that better. I ain't never coming back. Hey, can I De Niro face it? Yeah, pretty good, right? It was pretty good.

Yeah, it was pretty good. You got to leave them wanting more. My good friend Hannah Rose leaving the Tribal Council, she yelled, if there's Edge of Extinction, I'm not going. Yeah, that's the question we've gotten. Well, right past the sign. Like, man, I'm not even going to stop and entertain this leave me and you know what if there was edge of extinction she wouldn't have gone she's still going she's leaving she would have been the first person at that little path you know reem gets that torch and she's like i'm in you know keith

soul he's in bananas that was a two-part episode that was a cliffhanger about keith i was like please stop crying it just pick something, please. Oh, yeah. He was crying and praying and throwing up. Brandon Donovan, would you go back? I don't think I've ever asked you this question. Yeah. It's my favorite thing in the world.

I'd go back tomorrow. Would you have gone to the Edge of Extinction? A thousand percent I would. I love the Edge of Extinction. I did all of my interviews. I talked about how much I love the Edge of Extinction. One would argue I would have maybe done better in an environment where you just kind of have to vibe for a little bit. You know, I would have loved that. I would have had to win people over.

Yeah, I would have had a ream experience. I just you know, I was I was chilling. You know, the the elements elements were were fine. You know, I could sleep fine. I was I was chilling. So I would have loved an edge of extinction. All right. Well, let's, let's talk about where we're at right now in a club condo. And so we just saw Gabe voted out of the game and Gabe was somebody who was in a pretty good position. I mean, certainly from, uh, as the players were looking at him, Gabe had said that he felt like that if he could just get to the final eight, the game was going to be his. This was his big stumbling block to get through.

I'd love to talk a little bit about the position of like these front runners coming into the like home stretch of Survivor in the new era. Because, Brandon, it seems like a place you do not want to live. Yeah, I think I mean, referencing your confessional article. the new era because brandon it seems like a place you do not want to live yeah i think i i mean referencing your confessional article yes i got the confession reality tv newsletters yeah um yeah so i think that yeah the weird new meta we're now in is that you don't want to be like total underdog you don't want to be top dog you don't want to be viewed as a top dog you kind of just want to you want to be closer to bottom than you are top certainly but you want to be in that little yeah that little mid section if you will yeah chapelle if survivor in the new era was like the nfl it's like you want to be

probably at like uh around this point in the season uh like five and eight not a bad place to be if you're a survivor team. Yeah, but you still got to make the playoffs, right? And that's the thing. So you want to be in the wild card spot, right? Like, it's like, can I be in the finale? You want to be in the seventh wild card. Right, exactly. Can I be in the finale?

Sure. Should we take you seriously in the finale? Maybe not. But if you have this Cinderella story-esque run, then no one can deny you. But you don't want to be the team that everybody either, like, knows that you're the frontrunner far and away,

or everybody perceives you to be a frontrunner. That's the problem with my favorite team. Every season we go in, people are like, this is the year you got it. And we're like, no.

But we're like, no, no, don't say that. Don't say that. That's not true. This is not, stop it, stop it. They're doing the Ray Lewis dance. Sadly. And then, you know, people start watching you and they're like the ray lewis dance sadly and then you know people start watching you and they're like oh wait you're gonna look beatable all of a sudden it's like no

no no no not that anything but that you want to sneak in to the finale because because the two coming in four deep it really did put a target on the back like gabe talks about being in a good position but he's not wrong um it was always going to meet this one spot where you have five people looking at four people saying do we want to keep all four of these people here we would be crazy to do that he even says it himself he said if they managed to let me get past this round it would be insane for me and my three allies to make it to this point in the game and so they had to shut it down yeah and shut it down uh they did ultimately uh that uh that Gabe went home. Brandon, how do you feel about Gabe, the character that we've seen here through these first 10 episodes?

I, you know, I enjoyed I enjoyed Gabe. I enjoyed Gabe coming in saying he wanted to Mount Rushmore it right. And he's that, you know, he's finding idols week one. He's finding idols, you know, and then you get to see Gabe progress. And I think we were building to like gabe's big move right gabe's big move gabe's mount rushmore and although i don't think that happened i think it's an interesting like story in the meta of survivor and the meta of specifically new era survivor where you have people wanting to come in with blank resume refill out the resume get the job at at, you know, Fortune 500. And although Gabe didn't do that, I think it's an interesting case study into like that mentality and that like belief that you can do that. And even, you know, Gabe's last second on the show, his final words, he's saying, you know, I'll be back here. Like I can do it. I will do it. And I think that mentality is something that you have to have in Survivor, but maybe like a little bit less than what Gabe had.

Like, I think that there's something maybe missing from the resume of all bullets that, like the level of like confidence, you know, you have to be confident, but the level of confidence is maybe something that is, there's a little bit left to be desired there. Yeah, Chappelle, for me, I think that had Gabe come into the merge,

like down in the numbers, like had it been like him and Sue and Carolyn, like, like his hero, Russell Hance, that if it was just like them three coming in and they could have been sort of seen as a little bit more of like the underdogs, like, I think it could have been a different story for Gabe. Yeah. But that's, that's the problem when, you know, we've been watching Survivor for so long and the, you know, um, the primary belief was that you come in with numbers, you know, you want to hit the merge with your tribe intact so you can decimate the other tribe. But now in the new era, it's like, hey, you want to have we come in we got two other tribes that are going to be like trying to pick off who's next in line and you're going to say okay well we need to double team the biggest tribe that's left and if it's you they're going to start to come after you and so it felt like they were aware of that you know they were trying to mitigate that like okay

we gotta we gotta cut somebody at least we could cut kyle caroline's talking about well at least if they start to cut two coos it won't be one of us. You know, so they were aware. That was the perception. But I think three has been winning the day these last couple seasons, Rob, right? Ever since Jam Jam, they built this, you know, this structure of like, okay, it's just the three of us. And then we saw the same thing with Dee and her crew eventually, you know. With those four, yeah. Yeah, but, you know, you'd be willing to cut the one person.

Like, now the two coups are dangerous because if they can work together, you know,'d be willing to cut the one person like now the two cools are dangerous because if they can work together you know they're a tight three now i don't know if they can work together because you might not have heard this but sue and kyle yeah they're not really on the same page yeah that's gonna be interesting to see uh where that goes uh from here with kyle and sue because we had the really great segment in the episode of that andy goes to talk to sue and first of all i think that that is a hilarious duo that i'm looking forward to hopefully seeing more of brandon uh how would you describe the pairing of andy and sue i think you know everybody dreams in survivor you know if you're the malcolm you want to find your Denise. Right. And maybe this is the partnership that, you know, some people who have, you know, not not to say that they've had difficulty communicating with other people. Sure. But maybe maybe they're the secret sauce that each other needs. Maybe they're going to lock in from now. And nothing bonds two people together like an enemy. And although Andy's enemy isn't Kyle, Andy knows that Sue's enemy is Kyle. And

that's what you, that's how you bring people together. You know, most friendships that I've ever had in my life, elementary school, high school, you get to somebody and then you're like, look at that. And then, and then you got best friends for the rest of your life. So I'm, I'm all in on this trap. All right. I don't know how this is going to work on the podcast. I cut the whole Sue talking about Kyle segment. And so let's listen in and maybe we pause and stop down and see what's there. Okay. Okay. That's why I don't even listen when he talks.

I'm like, I want to kill you, Kyle. He is a liar. He does the poor me. The woe is me. How many times do we have to hear that he's poor? I'm a good guy. I'm a dad. I'm a this.

He's so hypocritical. He's done. The sooner Kyle's cut, the happier I'll be. I will give him back his name on a parchment. He wrote my name down. Exactly. He didn't feel bad. Like, I can't even look at Kyle. I hate him.

Because he wrote my name down. He wrote my name down. He wrote my name down. He wrote my name down. Because he wrote my name down. He wrote my name down he wrote my name down he wrote my name down he wrote my name down wow uh chapelle could uh kendrick lamar turn this into uh kyle diss track uh yeah i don't know uh kendrick got some hate in his heart but i don't know if he has this much hate in his heart i still didn't even need lyrics. It was just the same words over and over and over again. It was like a daily affirmation.

She wakes up in the morning, she's like, I hate Kyle. He wrote my name down. If I could make a request to the Survivor Hive Mind, could somebody auto-tune this and get this out there as a sue diss track like that would be really incredible and also well yes

we do have a wand off coming yes the wand off is coming the wand off two weeks two weeks from tonight is going to be the wand off survivor 47 and you can make your submissions for the one but we could that one could be sort of like the appetizer yeah

somebody gets that and if somebody wants to drop a diss track on here you know uh and it happens to be sue themed i would listen to it could we get on this graphic yeah robin's website that comes as wand off if we could like uh get that call to action on there okay um brandon what i thought was amazing about that kyle uh said wrote my name down down montage evocative of an Appie Maria, certainly. So. Have we ever seen in a montage that we've gone back and like cut people who are already out of the game back into the episode? Have we ever seen this before? I and again, I love to be a survivor historian i think no i think this is the first time because i i was whiplashed by tiana i see tiana was in there too

oh rome was in there also what is very interesting to me is i wonder does sue still feel this like hate in her heart in the event that kyle didn't vote for her, if Kyle throws a vote elsewhere, is Sue still mad at Kyle in the same way? Is Sue still mad at the, you know, poor me, I'm a dad, whatever. Does she hate him to the same level is my question. I wonder, you know, and we'll never know, but I wonder if it's a personality thing that is then compounded by a vote or a vote that then every, you know, when you're around somebody and they, they wrong you, it's like everything they do, you know, why else could she dislike him so much? Well, I mean, she listed different attributes that she wasn't, you know, a fan of, but I think Brandon has a point.

It's one of those things where if you dislike somebody, everything they do would get under your skin, you know, like you over there eating crackers and they're like, look at this bitch eating crackers. You know, that's exactly how it comes off because she's like, he's always like, poor me, woe is me, you know, all this other stuff. And those are separate to him writing her name down. So it's like, does she still feel so strongly about him and all those other things she says? Oh, he's always talking about how he's a family man. I'm tired of hearing about it. Is she tired of hearing about it if he doesn't write her name down i think uh you know the

question is valid yeah and then here comes andy with his gas can oh my god trying to make things worse passing along this little chestnut so kyle he he calls you and caroline tweedle d and tweedle dumb really he does yeah i didn't think that was very nice no not nice atoline tweedle d and tweedle dumb really he does yeah i didn't think that was very nice no not nice at all tweedly d and tweedly dumb do you want to be like you we gotta play what the bleep uh sue because we gotta know what she actually is saying okay yeah all right let's let's listen back okay tweedly d and Dumb. No, not nice at all. Tweedly Dee and Tweedly Dumb. Do you want to? I want to be like you.

I think that's certainly an F. You. It could be anything. MF? MF? Is MF? I think. A-hole?

Yeah. A-hole? Sure. I don't know. You have a third option, Chpelle could it be anything else the whole word is like uh it's not like a son of a bleep oh yeah it's just like a one smooth like yeah i don't know it's bad whatever she's saying the producers are obviously not like hey you shouldn't say that no no give us more please please keep going is this is the beeping or the horn

whatever we're hearing is that new or has that been around before and i'm forgetting i think that's seen seemingly new i think they've done other like devices they've like sort of like had like um like a drum beat uh in that spot but i don't know why she's getting like the truck horn. It sounds very Spongebob. Tweedly-dee and Tweedly-bum. I want to be like... This is when Spongebob... That's just old man Jenkins in his jalopy. That's exactly what that is. When Spongebob learned bad words, go watch that at Paramount+. You guys have it.

Go watch the episode. They do a similar thing. It's like you hear the dolphin screech or you hear a sound that's like this. Yeah, yeah. I told you, it was old man Jenkins and his jalopy. You know, just when you think that he's done cursing, you know, this man shows up in his trash car. I love this, but I love this more for baby Andy.

You know, baby Andy's putting his social game to work. He's out here planting seeds now. He's like, hey, I didn't think that was very nice. I was like, aw, I probably would've stopped. I would've broke character if I was, hey, baby Andy, leave the hating to us. You know, you tried.

That was very cute. Okay, so assuming Andy is telling the truth about how Kyle told me that he calls you Tweedledee and Tweedledum, what's with these like Alice in Wonderland insults, Brandon? I mean, why is this a topical reference for Kyle? Yeah, Kyle just got Disney Plus. He was binging, you know, on the plane. Is that what it is? Because he has little, because he's a family man because he has a little family man. Yeah. He's referencing Bluey at Tribal Council. We

don't have the votes. Boy, I tell you you gabe he's mad as a hatter well well what is a better uh you know insult if you're talking about a pair of people right and you kind of want to put them down because you remember that's not that's just as old as alice in wonderland rob it's not it's not it's not it's long as bro y'all act like dumb and dumber is recent it's not recent but alice in wonderland is like... Bro, y'all act like Dumb and Dumber is recent. It's not. It's not recent, but Alice in Wonderland is like from the 40s. I mean, but listen, at this point,

once you hit 30 years, it could all just be old, Rob. I'm talking about anything, anything within the last decade or two, y'all. Please. Yeah, it's... Listen, we're going to celebrate... I think we just celebrated

the 30th anniversary of Dumb and Dumber. I think Alice in Wonderland, I think is older than grandparents. The book. If of Dumb and Dumber. I think Alice in Wonderland is older than Graham Harris. The book. If it's the book. Sue was around for all of these properties. All I'm saying is for her,

she's seen them all when they were fresh. NBC-Ruthers says Beavis and Butters. Chappelle's going to say that's old too. Is it not? You know what I'm saying?

Y'all, we can't find nothing from the, I don't know, 2020s, the 20- What do you got? Nothing. That's why I'm asking y'all, we can't find nothing from the, I don't know, 2020s, the 20-odd. What do you got? Nothing.

That's why I'm asking y'all. There's no two dumb people anymore? Right. Beavis and Butthead, I will say, it is a Viacom product. So they could feasibly air that. You know what I mean? That, I think, is maybe the best that we're going to get in terms of a duo, a dumb duo. Who's a dumb duo? I don't think we do dumb du a dumb duo who's a dumb yeah i don't i don't

think we do dumb duos anymore that's my point i don't think i don't look kyle had like four references he could have used okay smart duos all right top 10 most lovable idiotic duos in movies and tv okay this is a list put together by jacob coop. Number one. Unlike Steve Harvey. One person survey. Top ten answers on the board. Name a lovable idiotic duo. Give me SpongeBob and Patrick.

Are they up there? Number two. Number one answer. Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunn. Dumb and Dumber. Number three. Beavis and Butthead. Number four, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo. That's disrespectful. Number five, Ren and Stimpy. Oh, yeah.

Number six, Bill and Ted. Number seven, Wayne and Garth. Number eight, Timon and Pumbaa. I don't know. Josh Redgrove and Parker Dinkleman. I don't know this. And number 10, this might be your most recent reference, Chappelle. Harold and Kumar.

Listen, all of these references were old. I don't understand why we're acting like any of this is new. My point was, let's not pick on Kyle because listen, you got to reach back at least 25 years before you get your first reference.

SpongeBob ain't new. It's been on forever. It's just like Scooby-Doo, you know? And I think it's disrespectful to Scooby and Shaggy. You know, I wouldn't call them dumb.

I just, you know, they just be on substances and that's okay. As are Harold and Kumar. Right. You know, so many people they just be on substances and that's okay. As are Harold and Kumar. Right. You know, so many people need to be eliminated from the list. Maybe Timon and Pumbaa. I don't know what they've been doing in their spare time. We don't know. Yeah. Are

Caroline and Sue giving Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Tweedledee and Tweedledum energy? What's the lore behind them both? Are they even dumb? I think they are dumb. I think Tweedledee and Tweedledum are dumb. Yeah, they're dumb.

I don't know if I can say that anymore. I don't know what they do that makes them dumb. I don't know what their job is. I think they can't even put together a sentence. Oh. That doesn't seem to be Caroline and Sue at all. They're great at sentences. I guess I have to agree.

It sounds like Andy made it up it sounds like Andy was just like she's been talking trash about you what did he say he called you Tweedledee and Tweedledum what oh my god I'm gonna kill him you know I don't know

it just feels like that doesn't really speak this is Tweedledee and Tweedledum I don't know which is which. This does not look like Caroline and Pseudomy. Where's the dirt? What's interesting to me about this particular image is that I do think there is not a single difference.

Unless this is a, like, spot the difference game, but there's no discernible difference between Tweedledee and Tweedledum, which is something that if you're an Alice in Wonderland aficionado, maybe you'd know. That looks fun. Yeah. So it's like you have to find an iconic duo, but also it had to be a shady reference to an iconic duo, right?

Because you could have pulled like a, this is a, y'all are like Thelma and Louise because they're like super tight. It's also old. But yeah, I just don't think that we're like, we're not giving iconic duos the treatment that they used to have. Brandon dropped Malcolm and Denise earlier, but that's been a long time. When are people going to be on Survivor? Like, I need to find the Shan to my Ricard.

You know what I'm saying? I'm just relieved nobody's come out of the woodwork on the Survivor Reddit of like, here's a clip of Rob C. calling Heidi and Jenna Tweedledee and Tweedledum this week. Oh, yeah. Oh, did you do that? I don't think so.

You called them a lot of stuff. But that would have been 20 years ago. That was like a more topical reference. It's more timely, for sure. And if I would have said Dumb and Dumber, then that would have been Chappelle. Like, right. Right in the sweet spot. Right, exactly.

Could have been the name of the episode. You threw out a Britney Spears reference, right? That was timely. That's a year or two. You know, that's great. Nobody's, I'm trying to think of the last, like, pop culture reference that was timely. Like, that's right.

It's hard because they filmed the season. If it's going to happen, Brandon, it's going to happen in the odd number season. Sure. Nobody on season 47 had the foresight to mention Wicked in any capacity knowing that wicked was coming out in the fall maybe that's what people should do people that are going to play on like survivor 49 should look ahead and be like okay what movies are coming out fall

especially paramount like kane kind of did this with the dungeonsgeons and Dragons thing. Sure. Yeah, he was on front line. He was ahead of the curve. He was ahead of the curve. This is next level of lookout. Go look at the fall 2025 movies. What's opening? Wicked 2? Wicked 2. Wicked 2 is this week, next year. If you're in the final nine,

Alphabet, you gotta throw it out there. Yeah. Too good. Four good, two good. That's one of the songs in the Act 2. Let's see. November 2025 movies. Okay.

And they're only making remakes now. It's hot IP. That was a Minecraft movie, but I think that's gonna be... That was another Superman movie? Boo. Another Captain America, Frankenstein.

Frankenstein. That's timely, right? Yeah. It just came out. Okay. So, you know, there's some stuff. Okay.

We'll workshop that. So it's a new year. You know what that means? Setting big goals. Maybe you promised yourself you're going to hit the gym every day, or maybe you said you're going to learn to make fire with a flint for once, or the classic save more money.

We didn't have any guitar picks and we didn't have time to go to the store. So we placed an order on Prime and it got there the next day ready for the show. Whatever you're into, it's on Prime. Rob, are you impressed with baby Andy now that he's in this position of power? He's talking about how he's like a spider and he's like crawling from his prey. This is his victim and this is his victim. Rob, our boy might be making a run at this thing. I mean, Andy's in a great position, but I think that Andy, while he probably had the best of the three sort of uh monologuing to the camera moments from gata i

thought it was interesting that we had in this episode all three of the gata tribe people each had like their own confessional talking about it's all going it's all turning up my way everything is coming up uh me that i was down but now i'm back really it was we had andy in the beginning of the episode there's a sam segment where he's like andy wants to work with me teeny wants to work with me like should they know i'm probably gonna betray him tomorrow but today it's all coming up me and rachel got one of those also yeah i'm loving it i i love it because the goddess they're like uh they're like jam jam's crew they just have they don't want to work together and they're just being forced in the same in the same space but like god i keep trying to

vote you out i keep betraying you and yet here we are that's gonna be that strong three that sits at the end probably well that's a great questionappelle. Brandon, is it possible that we could have an all-Gata final three? Andy, Sam, Rachel, is that possible? I see it very much. I mean, Chappelle said earlier in his podcast that the three now that is Tuku could run it, but there's already a three that exists.

Are these three coexisting with the other three? Who knows? My winner pick is Caroline. I can see a world where Caroline jumps over, like, are these three coexisting with the other three? Who knows? My winner pick is Caroline. I can see a world where Caroline jumps over, potentially, leaves her three, joins that three. And, you know, there's still seven, six days left in the game. And eight, seven, six is where you lose the power players a lot of the time. You know, so this is, if anybody's going to strike against the God of Three,

the God of Three includes those power players, this is the time to do so. So who knows? It does seem like narratively though, we are getting Act Three, regardless of what happens, is the story of the God of Three, I think with your other characters that are there.

And maybe they invade and then they champion this thing or not. But the story I think is very God of Heavy. Yeah. We gotta go back,appelle okay go back where how far are we going that's that's that's what their tagline should be the three of them we gotta go back it's like the season three it's the it was the future yeah they gotta take us they gotta take us back to where it all began right it started it started

episode one where we had they know each other in the past no that's the final three we jumped ahead yeah gabe says right when he's getting voted out like i'll be back right in his final words is like i'm coming back to do this do you think you have a better shot if we gotta go back and gotta pitches after the season like hey you need all of us bring bring at least the three if not yeah bring the sex bring back john and and annika and annika and sierra hell yeah congratulations sierra on engagement congratulations so who are they saying this to one of them wants to go back and they say like hey we're a package deal we're a package deal you know they can't say no to all of us right it's like when you leave class early like they can't we all can't get in trouble so just just send it say hey we're only

going if we're all there you know and it does the work for them they already know what they all look like on the mat are you watching this show brandon, Brandon? They might be saying that in the group chat and each one of them is like, I'm the only person that's going to come back. I'm telling them all that it's all good, but I'm the one who's really pulling all the strings. I'm the only one who's going back. That's why it's great TV.

Bring them back. 50, let's just do a tribe of them. Just throw the whole tribe out there. And on this tribe, gotta put them back again. Yeah. I like it. I have more faith in the gotta three to make it to the end than the two coups

because you think about it, Caroline has already betrayed the two coups. At this point, I had betrayed Sue, but Sue hates Kyle. And Kyle is an immunity beast. And so it's like, if Kyle loses,

even if I did have this tight alliance with him, even I'd be looking at like, yeah, let him get to the end with six or seven immunity wins. What are we doing here? We've got to get rid of him. Okay. Yeah. I'm glad you brought that up, Chappelle. So Brandon Donlan, a historian of this sport. Here we have Kyle, four immunity wins. Could you contextualize this at all for us i mean pretty major yeah like we only have a couple people in survivor history i think who i mean and yeah who has five who has five immunity wins i think i mean like are we counting multiple seasons one season one season terry has five ter Terry had five in Hanama. Terry for sure. Does Joe Anglum have five in Second Chance? I don't think so.

Did Brad get the five in Game Changers? That sounds familiar to me. Brad got to five. Is it Brad on five? No, Mike Holloway. Ozzy as well. Mike and Ozzy.

Yeah, I'm forgetting. I'm now more invested in people who won zero challenges. I'm wondering who to fill out in my group chat. So I've left a lot of this. And Colby, yeah? Did Colby win five also? My boy Tom Westman, I believe, is a five-timer. I'm sure somebody in the chat knows for sure.

Yeah, thank you. Josh Kettles is here. So it's Colby, Terry, Ozzy, Brad, Culpepper, Mike Holloway is five. Nobody has six. We got them. Yeah. But Kyle's two away. If Kyle hits six, does he automatically

go to Survivor 50? You would hope so. So let's see. Colby has gone back tom's go back terry's going back ozzy's going back yeah i think that you i think that i think that that is such a moment if it happens jeff makes it such a moment that kyle then permeates the casual viewer's mind and then kyle is on every single casual facebook post wow you see is like kyle's it you gotta have kyle i think that that's really,

there's a lot of stakes in these like next couple of immunity challenges where Chappelle, like it's sort of like that with all due respect to Kyle, you know, that I don't think that he's on his pathway to win, but these immunity challenges really do hold like a lot of stakes for him. I think they do. And because of that,

I really think that, you know, someone smarter than me should get into the details of these challenges and find out who is the best of the best. Because just because you win immunity, it doesn't mean that you have an equal playing field against across the board, right? I'm not even talking about your competitors.

I'm talking about the amount of people you're competing against, right? Is it harder to win immunity if you're at the final eight versus the final four? Is it something where we have split the tribe in half you were only competing against three other people uh is there a male and a female winner of this challenge you know like now that we have the data somebody needs to go in and figure it out you know because kyle has four wins but his four wins ain't the same as terry's four wins you know terry had his back up against the wall for a very long time. Same thing with Tom.

Mike Holloway, for the love of God, I mean, you know, his whole story is his back against the wall, but he had an advantage in one of the challenges too. So I think it all adds up. I want somebody to go in and make this granular. Yeah. Look, the ball is juiced maybe, but if he gets to six, I think he's going back.

Six is six. Six is six, man man uh yeah i don't i don't think anybody would complain about it either it would make sense i think something like this is this is your resume that you go to jeff with and say like hey i know you want to bring back all six of the goddess but have i have an immunity win for each of them and you're like well you can't argue with that you know i'm saying uh where there's other people where you're like do you really want to see this person come back? Do you really want?

It's like, I got my resume right here. Six of these bad boys in a row. I, well, six, well, I guess he skipped one, but yeah, six of them is tough. It's hard to beat. Yeah, it's, in season 50 is, you know, there's a pool of almost 800 people to pick from. If you are the one person who holds a record like that,

a record that was just beaten, it's hard to see a world where you're not red carpeted right there yeah it's especially you broke a record a year before the season 50 happens it's interesting because it's like if this was happening like a year ago i think we'd be like if he wins like who cares whatever you know uh it's interesting with that sort of like backdrop of like oh he could be potentially like uh just punch his ticket yeah and look at the evolution of the challenges that they're doing i remember ozzy just looking like a person that was like he's built for the jungle

like he can climb he can swim he can do all this other stuff kyle is really good at standing in one spot and that is cool and that is a big part of survivor is balance and you know being able to like hold core strength in one spot for a long time kyle's great at that kind of stuff he's good at other challenges too but like when you start to compare them you're like i don't know i don't know if he could beat an ozzy in ozzy's prime i don't know if he could beat a mike holloway like these are questions that i would like to have the answers to well he easily could have won five he easily could have won the one where he lost to Gabe, where it was a heads up. But what has he done?

He's balanced. He balanced the ball on the bow. He balanced the ball on the plate. That was, that was two of them. Right. And then like one of them, Sue really could have beat him maybe, but we don't know.

He wasn't this one, right? Well, that's what he lost. Oh, that he lost that. Yes. Yeah. That's the one he lost. And I'm trying to think of what the... They did this thing?

They did the pulling thing? Is that right? They did hold on the grip strength one. Yeah, the grip strength challenge. That was another one that he won. And I'm trying to think of what the fourth one is that he won. I think I'm conflating this because I think this is this week. And then that was the one he came in third, actually.

That he actually... That Teenie and Genevieve beat him out on that. But but they've all been like, stay still. He hasn't like had to go swim or like gather anything together. Not to say that he couldn't do that, but it's been pretty similar immunity challenges so far here in 46. We're in his skill set. This is his era. They used to say it was like, oh, if you're going to be

brother, you got to be good at carnival games. Now people are telling you, it's the grip strength maybe here on Survivor now. But there was a time where you had to be able to run and jump and swim and then, God forbid, a puzzle come up. You had to be challenged. We might need reindeer games for

Survivor now. In the offseason, yeah, Brandon Donovan, the first contestant, you put us up there, put a ladder in there, and say, let's go. Yeah. All right. We saw the Survivor contestants come in and come into this immunity challenge,

and Rachel very quickly ID'd what was going on here. You're involved, Jeff. I swear. Yeah. Yeah.. You're in balls, Jeff. I swear. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. This guy loves balls. Loves balls. He just can't. He can't help himself. When there's one ball, he's like containable. But when you get the two balls, Jeff is giddy. Maybe this is spicy, Jeff.

I feel like we haven't done a lot of this in the new era. I don't know. I think it's consistent. Well, for a while, pre-new era, we were very ball heavy. There was a lot of balls. And there was a lot of poles, too. Do you remember pole? Make sure you hold your pole. Do I remember?

Do you remember pole? I remember. I remember the pole and the balls. Yeah, it used to be Paul and balls back in the day. Back in the day. A little bit of a throwback this week to some of that as Jeff described the action.

It just got a whole lot harder with two balls. Real. I mean. Real. Real. Real. Real AF. Yeah. It got really complicated, though, when he added that third ball. He was like, now grab three. I was like, real I mean real real real yeah it got really complicated though when he added that third ball he was like now grab three I was like I mean how do you even practice

for something like this dear god not easy I've never grabbed three I'm only get a 3D printer for this kind of thing get Carson on the phone yeah and then when you have two the real challenge and if they start going in opposite directions it's even more difficult yeah you betcha i've been there that's i've got

what's the answer to that problem i don't know what i'm going like all over the place you know like i think he even talks about a breeze blowing going if the breeze picks up, I was like, Jeff, please, have some decorum. We can see you. Yeah. Yeah. This is a family-friendly show, but just like, and not to reference SpongeBob again, but sometimes in SpongeBob,

there's jokes just for the parents. You're watching with your kids and parents are giggling. That's what this is. Yeah. Alright, so there was also a reward challenge uh in this episode that also featured balls uh prominently in this uh challenge we saw these survivors have to move like a worm and knock the ball up and down the rolling hills. And we saw some emergent gameplay this week as baby Andy, look what this guy can do.

He's a grown-ass man. Baby Andy don't mess around. He ain't been a baby in a long time. Okay, this is like the third episode of baby Andy just showing you like, nah, stop calling me that. This image is a testament to you know there are people in this orbit people who are listening to this right now you know six months later could be you this yeah this is the you know andy's at the know-it-alls during season 45 right and then you know six months later he's got ball

and mouth rolling up a hill you know's listen, it could be you. Brandon, you sound like the Jeff commercials that he's he does now. And if you two want a ball in your mouth, you get to apply for survival right now. Get that ball on your lips and push it up the hill. Let's go. They'll make it. They'll make it slow mo. They'll they'll they'll really make a meal out of this. You know, but listen, it it canmo. They'll really make a meal out of this. But listen, it can happen. It's right here. This is a guy we know.

We know him. And he's out there balling it up. Taking balls to the face. What is the strategy here, though? What is he trying to do? I think he's trying to bite the ball. So my interpretation of this, and now that i'm looking at the ball yeah less so trying to grip like fabric is what i'm thinking well yeah i think it's like a lion you ever like

uh like uh play with a basketball in front of the dog and then the dog is like trying to like i'm gonna pick it up yeah sure yeah i think that's what's good that's what's going on but he did it I think that's what's going on but he did it did he do it? he did do it I didn't think that he did it but if he did and I missed it then I retract

I don't think he did it they go in slow motion Sam can we get the gif of this? he gets it I don't think he gets it I think he like puts his face on it

he ate he devoured yes he did it get me the gif in the chat Mike Bloom tweeted it Mike Bloom tweeted the clip not you I meant

the people in the chair yeah somebody would find it all right fine yeah find that for me and we could see okay uh jace i'm jealous of the ball okay uh jace jace that ball is very dirty if i had a if i had a little spray bottle come on jace this is a family podcast keep it to yourself yeah i mean so baby andy between uh this stuff with the ball did you see last week when he it looked like he was kind of like uh you know pelvic thrusting the dirt chapelle bring it around town i knew he was loyal to the soil oh yeah well he showed you just how loyal okay he's not no two-pump chump he gets in the he gets down in the deep rolling in the deep yeah

okay all right so yeah so mike bloom has the trilogy of andy okay of course my bloom would have all three i don't think he's doing this on purpose. I don't think he knew this was a thing. Who could possibly think this? If he went out there when this was his idea. Now the first clip is my favorite. Yeah. Alright.

This is in Loyal to the Soil. And then, did he do it? He pushed it with his jaw. It is a long clip. It's a really long clip. I mean, the ball goes up and over the hill. Yeah, but he didn't pick it up. You know, like... Yeah yeah it's certainly a strategy

i wonder and not to be too crass but i wonder if just like some tongue work would have helped more than full i think it always helps that's what he was doing i thought he was going to try to use his tongue as you know it's a very strong i think you start with that yeah yeah yeah definitely like a warm-up yeah like a warm-up yeah and then it gets over the hump i think uh yeah yeah if you're gonna play that i never played that challenge before um the most disconcerting part of all this that was the just amount of sand on andy and everybody's tongue. Yeah. I don't know how you recover from that. I wouldn't. Not for me. Tough. Tough, man.

Not my scene. I'd be medevaced if that happened to me. You're going to want to clean the ball before you lick it. You're just going to start like that. Make sure everything is nice and sterilized before you put your mouth on it. In all seriousness, if I had a mouth full of sand, I think I'm just like tapping out. Like, okay, medical.

Medical. Is that where you draw the line? Sand in your mouth? You have one grain of sand in your mouth? Imagine a mouthful of sand. Yeah. I watched you eat like a side of meat with like a piranha with your friends. I was eating a day over sand.

That was disgusting. Brady, you remember that challenge where it was like- I remember it well. Pulling it out of each other's teeth with your friends. I was just paying day over sand. That was disgusting. Brady, you remember that challenge where it was like- I remember it well. Pulling it out of each other's teeth with their mouths. You're on like the Ocean City Beach in New Jersey and you have a water bottle and there's a gust of wind and it gets all up on the water bottle. Oh, forget it.

Throw it in the garbage. Yeah, I mean, that's the worst thing in the world to me. That's awful. Oh, no, I'm sterilizing that bad boy. I'm spitting on that thing. Keep it off. Sure, no. I'm sterilizing that bad boy. I'm spitting on that thing. Keep it off. Sure. Sure.

All right. The reward that the players went for. Jeff set it all up so nice of what was going to be a reward for them at the, of course, beloved sanctuary where good things happen. Where good things happen. Yes. Okay. But check out this dessert.

Okay? You'll have juices juices you'll have iced tea and for dessert cake okay cake it's pretty good okay i feel like that jeff doesn't uh always give like i think cake would have sufficed but no want to know what kind of cake what cookies and cream come on now come on now get up get hyped for cookies and cream family jeff was hyped so i'm thinking they're gonna bring in a whole sporkus board there's gonna be this huge ass cake that comes out and he pulls this little five below cake from underneath the little bitty cake that they found. I said, why is this cake so small? Why do you call it a five below cake? Because it's from the store five below.

They sell cakes at five below? I've never seen a bakery section there. If I wanted to buy a cake that size, I would be like, yeah, maybe I should go to five below. It was like a butt, like a little nothing butt cake. One of them buttettes. It was really tiny. It was a large cupcake, is what you're saying.

It wasn't a... Come on now. Come on now. He says it with the gravitas like he made it. He had a chance in making it. And he didn't, as far as I'm aware, he didn't. Maybe he did, though. Maybe he did. Because, again, he didn't as far as i'm aware he didn't maybe he did though

maybe he did because he like again he doesn't ever just really lean into like and guess what kind but he's like y'all y'all gonna love this i'm putting this cake brandon could you ever imagine if that at a reward challenge jeff like earnestly says and i baked the cake that you're gonna eat at the sanctuary like i think everybody would just be like losing their minds come on now yeah you know i guess the worst scenario there is if jeff is present at the sanctuary and watching you eat it and it's not good and then you kind of have to yeah he's doing that and then you kind of have to just you know it's like that when rachel makes the the whatever she makes in that friends episode you know the english trifle i think um then you know you have to you have to shove that thing in there you know not like the ball

you know yeah jeff this is so good i love this and poor poor sam he's not even a kiwi guy you think he's a cookie and cream cake guy he's probably like like spitting it out he's got his napkin like oh that was so yummy scooping it on the floor hoping the dog comes and eats it you know i don't know yeah okay i want to go uh to tribal council uh we have this very fun back and forth with genevieve and with gabe coming into this tribal council of who is going to be the person that's ultimately going to go home uh they both seemed to think that it was gonna be them and genevieve just had uh so many great reactions at Tribal Council this week. I asked Sam to, can you get me a slideshow of all of Genevieve's facial reactions at Tribal Council? Okay. I don't know what we do with this.

Okay. But I have like, I think we have nine facial reactions from Genevieve. Can we caption these? Yeah. facial reactions from Genevieve. Could we caption these? Yeah, like, are you picturing like the memes from like 2012, 2013? Like that feeling when you, you know. This is actually the big brother Instagram was doing this.

Yeah. So what is, Chappelle, what is this reaction she's having? That feeling when your balls separate on the plate and it gets a little harder than you thought it would yeah it's either hard to balance it just got a whole lot harder with two balls yeah that's that face you know um i remember way back in the in scary movie days you know where they would have like the the the ghost face mask would get all high and he'd be like like that's kind of how she looks

too like she's very she's very pleased with herself even though she's not pleased in the moment it could be misinterpreted i don't know uh brandon i think what about this one is uh when your best friend asks jeff if he can hit a dance real quick oh yeah yeah i think this is i think it's skewing a little too happy, maybe, but this is maybe that feeling when you just saw your friend hit the Ray Lewis dance. Real quick.

Okay, all right. Next slide. What happened next to Genevieve? Oh, wait. This might be what I said beforehand. This might be Ray Lewis. This is how he really looks. You want to do what when when you're sitting next to Sammy Liotti at the wedding

when you're sitting but Q but sitting between Q and Sammy Liotti at the wedding it's like what is happening yeah okay all right Genevieve got the glasses on okay all right jennifer you got the glasses on okay all right what's this one this is this is and i won't say samuel iati but this is when the feeling when the person who's annoying you at the wedding gets up they go to the buffet table so you have that like you have the two minutes of a break like the you know you gotta get your mind together you gotta get your mind right that's what this is to me okay the feeling one maybe that's all you need

is this cake from five below I didn't know they had a cake from five below do they have cake from five below cookies and cream I might be a cookie and cream guy that's how it looks what's this one hmm i don't know this is when you know the day after thanksgiving you have like the leftovers downstairs and you don't want to wake everybody up but they're in that

really loud like oily thing and then you open it and you're like it's 11 you're not getting a brownie at 11 o'clock trying to get into the croissants but that plastic thing yeah it's from Costco it's fucking so loud it's a different decibel level

and you're like fuck right it's 11am or 11pm love of god hmm this sucks

that was our last caption yeah yeah I was like I think it was speech for itself yeah when was this I think they must be counting the votes

can I look can I look uh oh that's the feeling when the edible kicks in ask me how I know so I've read yeah and then uh last one oh still the second feeling after the edible kicks it yeah it's not when but it's after yeah seconds later okay uh there's there's uh all about genevieve a lot of talk this week also about saul and his luke at tribal

council brayden i can't remember uh a first of all i i don't think i ever can remember a male juror um i don't want to say objectified but thirsted for in the way that Saul coming in as a juror has been. I can't think of a person. I tweeted this when Saul got voted out, which is even before this craziness, is that I have never seen near 100% approval rating for somebody on Survivor in many, many years. But like I told, you know,

I have friends who are not in our orbit who watch the show. My mom, everybody is hundo P in on Saul. It's hard to get 100% approval rating. Yeah. Because to get 100% approval rating, you need everybody. You need like the earnest fans. You need the ironic fans.

You need the casuals. There's a lot of, you know, it's a big tent that we have here in Survivor Nation. And Saul is just like, check them all off. Yeah, got us pinching tits. You know, he comes in and there's a vest. And I mean, I've seen the timeline went wild. The skeets were skeeting on blue sky. My skyline was full of skeets.

People skeeted hard after they saw... Listen! Not for anything, the Hundo P approval rating was before the vest. The vest only... The vest licked the envelope to send it to Hundo P. Send it!

Don't do that. Do we have the Saul vest image anywhere, Sam out to Sam Smith. Don't do that. Do we have the Saul Vest image anywhere, Sam? Not Sam Smith. I will give both of our jurors some credit, though, because even last week, Sierra, when her walk-in, people were like, Sierra's walking in like a woman on a mission. Well, you know what, Chappelle?

They took the walk-ins away, and then they brought them back this season. We missed them. We really did. And I do. I must have missed the clamoring for let the jury walk back in. But aren't you happy it's back? I'm happy it's back.

I'm just surprised because I didn't feel like that it was like they're correcting something that I don't think anybody was asking them to fix. But it's been a big result so far. I'm loving it. I think that the general survivor rule, I think, for me, and just observing the online community, if you bring back anything that has gone away, people are going to dig it.

You know, and I think this is, you know, I didn't see the clamoring either. I love that it's here. I just, my question about Saul is I wonder if our outfits escalate. Are we going to have the same reaction every week? Is it going to be, you know, like, cause now, you know, he's got, he's got six more tribal councils. So what, what does Saul do to top this next week? Does he come in? Okay. So here is, here is Saul on the jury. Yeah.

And he looks like he looks oiled up too. Right. Yeah. Everybody was just, why is he so wet? They both are. Yeah. Yeah. I guess they both are yeah yeah um i i haven't looked at sierra once to be honest i just saw because not it's sierra's beautiful and i don't know if this is like some combination of like the bug spray and then also it's raining uh so maybe that might lend to the glistening look here for our jury but what if Saul comes in next week okay just no shirt bow tie he has to be glistening though it's part of the outfit when I was in college and we would have toga parties and stuff like that you you knew who was taking it seriously because not only did you

have a toga but you have to take some time to baby oil yourself up because you know the muscles and stuff really start to pop if you if you glisten you know q4 has been horrible for baby oil i feel like it's really like it needs to make a comeback and it's gonna take a lot it really is you also gotta do it yeah i mean i like my my mind went to no shirt bandana but no shirt bow tie you have to be no shirt and then an accessory a taste right i like that you know yeah like a stash all right so we'll see like a stash what salt uh comes in with uh next week if he's or maybe he comes in with like what if he just came in like full like tuxedo yeah he came in fully dressed but like tailored down like he'd have to get it tailored today though because you because he probably lost some weight on the island. Tuxedo, no tuxedo shirt.

Just full tuxedo and the bow tie. Jeff might piss himself. He's like, whoo! Hold on! Back in my day, you know what you used to do for like, you really want to make an impression on the jury? Like, have a mustache.

Yeah. That was it. We were out of ideas like what can we do on the jury like uh maybe you should like shape our beard into a mustache and like have like a really long mustache are you at the amazon final travel council with a mustache what was your facial hair for that um i did have a mustache that, well, here's like that when I was, I got voted out on day 38. And as Chappelle mentioned, we did have a toga party and we were like, like hanging out that night. And I like went in and I had like clippers and I like shaved like my beard off. But I still like I left the long mustache and we were hanging out and drinking and then um mark burnett was hanging out with us and it was like the jury

and like the ponderosa people and mark burnett and mark burnett said to me i had my mustache she's like rob you look gay like Freddie Mercury. You were like, thank you. I was like, are you? Again. I'm R. It was the early days of like the internet. I hadn't really like Googled, you know, Freddie Mercury.

I mean, super handsome. You know, I watched the Bohemian Rhapsody. I watched the biopics. Yeah, I mean, I think it was like, I took it as a compliment. You look gay like Freddie Mercury, I guess is a fundamentally different compliment, but Freddie Mercury's handsome. Freddie Mercury was beloved.

Yeah. Yeah. That's a, you can't get better than that. Yeah. They cast Rami Malek to play him in that movie, Rob. You're a regular Rami Malek. They did. Yeah. Look at Mark They did. Yeah. Look at Mark Burnett.

Yeah. I was trying to see if I could find that picture anywhere. But that was it. That was all we had. Let's make a mustache. I like when the players have a big reaction

to the people in the jury looking like themselves, you know, because it's been, you know, well, back in the old era, it had been several weeks since you'd seen these people,

you know, looking like themselves. Now it's been like, you know, six or seven days. But back then it was a whole thing. I remember, I remember Davey walking in and people being like, what? You know, like, you know, he cleans up pretty well. There's been a bunch of really big reactions. I think there were a few, like, I think when Andrea walked in, we might've got a big reaction from one of the amigos in that episode. Yeah, that'd probably be a good list for Mike Bloom to go through, too. Brandon, I'm sure you could help with that, too. The biggest reactions to the jury walking in.

I'm thinking, I think this feels like the biggest one for sure, but there's got to be smaller ones. I mean, they show Teenie. Teenie's shocked. Teenie's looking like, wow. Yeah. It's like, y'all saw this man like a couple weeks ago. It wasn't, you know, I mean, you just saw him yesterday, but he looked like this like a few weeks ago. It wasn't that long. He's got Riz, this guy.

So it's got, you know, unlimited Riz. Unlimited. Wow. Wow. Unlimited. Yeah. Yeah. Unlimited aura points and Riz.

Incredible. I love aura points. Aura points is my favorite. Is that, is it Jenny? Who's, who's on Tik TOK? Who's making it up? Yeah. Gen alpha aura points is so funny to me. I see a Tik TOK and I'll see negative aura points in the comments and it really, tickles me it makes me laugh all right uh let's talk about another big story this week going on about uh we have sue and lots of people are wondering hey every podcast around people want to know what's going on with sue why is sue so dirty carolyn said that she had been contouring was Was this makeup, Rob? Yes, makeup. That's what she is doing, I guess. I didn't know that this was a thing,

but apparently that these Survivor players are very resourceful and making makeup out of the stuff on Survivor. Who knew? By the way, the very fun interview with carolyn uh if you haven't checked that one out i really i was very proud of how that one came out but check out uh what sue had to say sue tells us just so everyone's aware i never have and never plan on killing anyone uh it's all love welcome to to the game of Survivor. It's all love

unless you write my name down. That was not the tweet I thought it was. I thought I was pulling up the tweet about her makeup. So she has confirmed that she's been using the dirt as makeup. Because I know Carolyn said it. Carolyn said it with such certainty. I was like,

have they talked about it? Yes. Okay. Alright. um hmm like here hold on um i went down a rabbit hole of sue's uh twitter about talking about oh no talking about the dirt we can't see your likes no more um sam where's the tweet about uh sue talking about the dirt. I think it's innovative to sit around and think, okay, I got all this time. I wonder if I can yassify myself

with a little mud on the face, you know, before the tribal council. I'm sorry, Rob. Did Carolyn say, did Carolyn also do this? Did Carolyn contour with dirt also?

No, Carolyn. She said she used, she did the smokey eye, right? She said she did smokey eye did the smoky eye right she said she did uh smoky eye with uh the uh with the charcoal with the fog with embers i guess i just don't be putting dirt and stuff like that on my face on purpose like i just is there a survivor makeup artist is that a profession somebody's had i feel like i think people have had it, but really for like the live reunions and stuff. Was somebody on Cook Islands was a makeup artist, right?

Or am I making that up? Rebecca Borman came up in my Google search. Look at you. I think we're aligned on this one. Yeah. Rebecca Borman, makeup artist. Look, we did. All right.

So here's the tweet from Sue. Not the one about how she's not seriously going to kill Kyle. She said, don't mind the dirt on my face. Just recovering from the mother quake. This is the aftermath of what a tsunami looks like. Also, I was learning how to contour with the dirt. Tune in tomorrow. Now, I will say that this is giving a little Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

Not that I don't, but I don't think that either of them are dumb, but it does look like they're wearing like the same outfit. The same outfit. For that insult, this is too similar. Yes. This is, you know, this is what I call Tweedled is you know from when we brought the pictures up so i don't think they like to finish each other's uh sandwiches or sentences but i do that they do look a little bit like they're like an amazing race team sure

mother and daughter amazing race team and on this leg of the race you know i mean oh yeah this this this picture here is this is egregious because sue sue's tweet is like don't acknowledge the thing on my face and it's like dirt don't don't don't pay it any mind like ma'am it's all i can see is that you have don't what are you talking about just contouring there's nothing there's nothing here there's nothing here that's very funny yeah yeah and that's not not great yeah national national emergence may is that anything mother quake yeah um why is she that she's just recovering from the mother quake who sent this tweet the sue did um no she didn't don't mind the german was just recovered so but who was was the mother quake what caroline did

um rob why is she recovering from the mother quake this is like that time you let dominic tweet for you touch grass my g like that's how this feels like somebody take take that phone from whatever uh gen z or that was like the tsunami tsunami's good to wash wash that off your face yeah um sorry y'all just fell in the mother quake that's all this dirt on my face you see it get into it just me the tsunami mother quake tsunami just recovering from the mother quake right yeah is there an aftershock yeah i don't like this that's a good line that's that's 250 is the aftershock that's what that's people will need like taglines for like when they like you know like this like the sour

lacina like game changers of like the first time i played i played like a cop but now i'm gonna play like a criminal like people need to start working on their their tagline taglines go do more taglines can i actually not to not to step on the bit here i am a copywriter for work right this is what i this is what I do. So I'm just, if you think you're going to season 50 and you don't already have your tagline, like just let me do it. You'll do it for free.

Which is paying me. Oh, for free. Hold on, hold on, baby. I mean, okay. For a nominal fee. A commission. For a fee. A commission.

Yeah. Yeah. Because I mean, while you're doing stuff for free, Recap Kickback doesn't have a tagline. Well, I think everybody needs one really because it's like, you know, like maybe you get a good enough tagline.

Maybe they're like, so now we got to use you. I mean, remember Sandra? Last time I was mean, this time I'm meaner. You need to like have good branding. You got to have good branding. Like I'm Serene. I got off the couch. You know, or I'm meaner. You need to have good branding. You gotta have good branding. I'm Serene. I got off the couch. Or I'm

Oprah in a superwoman suit. Or what is it? Gangster suit. Gangster in an Oprah suit. Yeah, something like that. You know, gangster in an Oprah suit. Brandon, can you think of any more off the top of your head? People that already... But like random people.

Taglines. Yeah, like none of the ghosts. Yeah. Oh, I'm Abby Maria. If you F with me, you're dead. If you F with me, you're dead. That's a good one. So if we bring back Brad from 41, what's Brad's?

You know, I'm thinking... Everybody always wants seconds of broccoli. Yeah. That's good. This time I'm cleaning my plate. Last time I only took a bite, but this time I'm cleaning it. Yeah, I like that

a lot. This is fun. Everybody always asks for more broccoli. Famously. Give us another rando. Pick somebody from the new era. Hannah Rose, I'm out.

Every time I think I'm out, they keep pulling me back in. Banu, winning a million hearts. This time, I'm going for two million hearts. I'm going a million hearts and a million hearts and a million dollars you know i think he's still kind of working towards the million i think he might you know last time i was for a million hearts this time i'm here for a million hearts

i'm still trying to get that million hearts y'all i had a rose i had a rose like the chewing tobacco she could be like chew on this you know she could be something you know it's quick you know yeah okay so look uh those taglines everybody needs to be uh tweaking those and getting ready to go i actually think that's a really good idea you know um they show everyone because everyone needs a good sound bite you know i think that that's part of being an iconic character is that like when you mention the character we all can point to the thing that they said you know or the thing that they did uh that made them stand out and a lot of times it's just quick you know what i'm saying but uh you know boston rob i'm carrying my family on my back you know something like that when he comes back for the 16th time yeah he didn't even

get that to the fourth time you know yeah even if it's not your first time you know you gotta throw it in there malcolm doesn't have one i I'm just thinking, this is my last one, but I don't know if Malcolm has a good one. Looking for my Denise. Oh, I guess, sure. Yeah, yeah. Golden Boy, he was that. There's something there. Malcolm, if you're listening, and I know you are, DM me.

So this season, looks like we have some version of the Ponderosa video is back here on Instagram. That throughout the new era, the Ponderosa videos have been a little sparse. And so they've been like dropping things here or there. And so we do have our first video from a jury member and we have Sierra. Brandon, do you have a chance to watch this today? The congratulations to the newly engaged Sierra. I I'll be honest with you i liked it and you can see that i liked it in the under the likes there um i did not i didn't watch it but i was i was otherwise engaged so i'd love to watch it i'd love to watch it now now how do you know that she's not saying a bunch of things you that you disagree with you just like without watching she i like i'm a big i'm a big autopilot

yeah or she could be just talking badly about me you know i never know nobody would tell me yeah brandon donald like this okay i'm curious to see what she said all right here we go uh hey everyone it's sierra it's sierra and i was just voted off of survivor 47 feeling the gratitude love support, but I'm also feeling a little betrayed and sad and frustrated and just confused overall. I truthfully think Andy was the main decision maker in sending me

home. I feel like this is the first step of me taking my... That's not good for Andy. Or is it? Maybe. Claim your move, Andy. The first person in Ponderosa does set the tone. So if Sierra's setting an anti-Andy precedent, not good. But do we know that?

We don't know that at all. If people from Indy love Andy, then there you go. Can we poll the first jurors of Ponderosa and really get down to the nitty gritty and be like, what were you thinking? Were you coming in with an axe axe to grind because we know like chaos cast said it but that's chaos cast you know like we need to I think we need a bigger sample size for our research that's a very interesting that's something I'd like to see

I mean who is the mayor of Ponderosa in Survivor 41 yeah I mean and that was such a that was lopsided I'm trying to think of like if there was a close vote I mean in and that was such a, that was lopsided. I'm trying to think of like if there was a close vote. I mean, in your season, in 45, is Kelly the mayor of Ponderosa? Caleb is a member. Caleb, okay.

And he voted for D, right? He votes for D. I'm thinking now 46 is Soda, who I believe votes for Charlie, I think. Could be wrong. So maybe it doesn't matter. 44 is Matt Blankenship, who I believe votes for Charlie, I think. Could be wrong. So maybe it doesn't matter. 44 is Matt Blankenship, who does vote for Jam Jam.

I think it, but we also have to bear in mind, like, did Soda have, like, a real horse in the race? Like, was Soda like, disparaged? If it's somebody who's like, sort of like, I don't want to say Soda was indifferent, but like, for Soda, like, Charlie, Ken like, sort of like, I don't want to say sort of indifferent, but like for Soda, like Charlie, Kenzie, Ben, like, you know, it wasn't like Soda was like, I hate one of them. Sure, sure, sure.

Yeah, that's interesting data. Shout out to Survivor Fact Checker. Maybe that's something. Okay. Yeah. I like all this stuff. Here, okay. All right.

So we get to see a little bit of Ponderosa here. I think he's a little brat. Oh, Andy is brat? No, no. Hey, okay. All right, so we get to see a little bit of Ponderosa here. I feed to my own hand. I think he's a little brat and he's- Oh, Andy is brat? No, no. Hey, brat. It's not the same. This video does predate Brat Summer. Little does Sierra know she did compliment Andy with brat.

People would kill to be brat. And he played it off so well. Survivor was way different than I expected it to be. I thought I was going to come out here, dominate this game, be able to detect when somebody's lying or manipulating me. And I'm like, holy crap,

these people really got away with like... The emoji are out of control. Right. Emoji everywhere. That's a dedicated job. You can get away with murder. And now I'm here at Ponderosa where I was crowned Queen of Ponderosa

where I'm going to lay down the rules for all the members who come. Is there an upgrade from Mayor of Ponderosa to Queen of Ponderosa? Absolutely. Yeah, there's a

there's a hierarchical change there that Was this a coup? Did Sierra just declare herself the Queen of Ponderosa? Well, yeah, I think so. She, her being first in declaring herself the Queen,

she established that this is a monarchy, whereas the mayor in in the past i think you have to retroactively vote somebody to be the mayor you know like just because you're first doesn't make you the mayor people have to come in and be like all right we can see when you're fed up with the administration you just you just do what you want you know yeah i'm gonna join the jury of course the queen of honda rosa needs her queen drink. Hola. Hola. So my prediction.

What? How about this drink? Do they just have these ready to go at Ponderosa? Like, do you want a coconut? I know what we can find. I was never given that. You never had that. This is a different property also, which is a funny story.

We're at Ponderosa. I was never given this. Okay. My prediction for the sole survivor will be either Teeny or Sam, because they are just kick-ass people. They're playing the game hard. Just go ahead and submit the video. I promise you it's worth it.

It doesn't matter what kind of background, history you may have in your life, experiences. Send in the video. Give it a try. Otherwise, you know, you'll never know. They have a heavy bag also? I have a question.

Yeah. Good question. Are we seeing a decline in Survivor applications? Because I've never seen Survivor push so hard for people to apply for the show. Every episode, Jeff is just like, huh, see how they gave up their shot in the dark? You too could do something like that if you apply. And now they're playing videos of contestants saying, send in a video.

Are we hurting for contestants here in a new era, Rob? I don't think so. I mean, I feel like that we're constantly bombarded with people who are dying to go and play. I think that they just feel like that if they don't keep up a critical mass of getting a certain number of applications, maybe they feel like that something's gone wrong yeah i think they got the most that they had gotten in many years for 45 and 46 i think but i i've always assumed that the push has been because they're getting a lot of similar applicants and they're trying to widen the net to folks who otherwise would not apply um because i think you you know, when you watch the videos,

I don't do this, but I assume that you can tell like a first time applicant, but in the way that the video is not like, you know, like quick. And I wonder if this pushes for folks who are just following the Instagram or watching passively. I don't know that, but could be. I want them to get a lot of applications to where they, maybe they can increase the number of

contestants we have on the show I would love to see something like that especially how many do you want but I think you want like a squid game no no maybe no no survivor 50 I think that like we have

so many all-star potential people there's like to be like and we're gonna narrow it down to 18 i'm like i can do 24 you know 24 wouldn't be awful you know and so i think after that you said you said a baseline and just say like every season because we got 90 minute episodes now we're not even working with you want to do two tribal councils i mean i'm just saying sometimes we do it anyway with the 90 minutes we have right now we could we could make this happen if you going to be asking for all these applicants, give them a shot. People are like, I apply for nine years straight. Nine after four. These people should just let you on.

All right. Whatever. Brandon, I say let's leave it at 18, but do like two or three episodes like American Idol style. Let's see. Let's see all the worst applications. Let's see like, you know, Jeff's like, alright, everybody wants to be on Survivor, but here are the people that were the absolute worst. No chance. Roll the clips. William Hung, baby.

William Hung in a buff. That'd be awesome. I think there's something to that. I don't know why we don't do more of that. know and then let's let's follow them through casting let's see like let's see like the top like 32 in hollywood and people do go to hollywood you do go do a cat round of casting in hollywood some people that'd be good there's something exciting yeah there's the tv show endurance um that was on for children it was like a children's survivor, early 2000s, on Discovery Kids. Shout out.

They would bring 24 people, but they would do like a qualifying challenge where they would wipe out six from the jump. Not good for your boy, potentially, but could be something. You know, we'll fly 24 people out, give them a day to all get ingratiated, and then, like, you got to hang on something. First six people to drop, they're not playing. You know? Could be something. Not six people to drop, they're not playing. You know?

Not a season I'm on. Here's another tweet from this week. Here's Teenie who said my only thought was why does Saul and Sierra look like they're from the capital in the Hunger Games? Like what? What? Yeah. They really, they're giving district, I don't know what the rich district is, but there's a district that's

super rich. They're giving that one. Chappelle, do you know that? I don't know what the rich district is, but there's a district that's super rich. They're giving that one. Chappelle, do you know that? I don't do the Hunger Games. It's Cactus Evergreen. Cactus. Yeah. And then, yeah.

Yeah, and Peter. Yeah, Peter. Yeah. Okay. Speaking of movies, we were talking pre-show about like, hey, what do I talk about on Club condo and brandon had an idea i did you want to talk through this idea i think the listeners like when we try new things sure listeners we're going to try a new thing this weekend this past weekend a film came out um wicked based on the broadway show wicked from 2003 um everybody's seeing wicked i don't know if you've seen wicked

i haven't seen it no you know i heard that i wanted to see it and then i heard it was two hours and 40 minutes and it's to be continued it's to be continued and the second one act two is going to be the same it's a five hour movie you know you're over five hours like the survivor finale is to be continued but at least they shortened it and they're going to show it to you next week i gotta wait a year to know what happens i did not know the runtime sitting in the theater and i saw it at 10 30 at night i got back to my house at 2 a.m. That's crazy. We're not going to talk about me.

We're going to talk about, we're going to randomize a random survivor cast, a Brant Steele, via Brant Steele. And we're going to go through each person and we're going to decide whether we think, as a collective, they've seen or they haven't seen Beckett this weekend. We're not going to do a Brant Steele,

although I guess we could at the end see who won the season. We'll just see who wins. But we're not doing a whole brand steal. But okay, so we're just using like the randomizer elements here. I have not ever done this before, but we're going to get 16 people. Can I submit something?

I know we're doing random, but Rebecca Borman's name did come up. I just feel like we got to give her something. Okay. Do you think, as a practice one, did Rebecca from Survivor Cook Islands go to see Wicked this weekend?

And bonus points, chat, no spoilers, but if you can find their social media and tell us yes or no, that would help. I feel like, I feel like Rebecca did.

I feel like she might've stepped out. Rebecca, via her Survivor Wiki page that I just looked at, she lives in LA. She's a makeup artist. I feel like there's best interest from her. She's probably seen Wicca. All right, but that's the exercise.

Okay, here we go. Submitting choices now. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Hold on. And I got all blank images. 911, Brandon, what do i do okay um let's let's see change to change to specific shows i have to do what brandon taught me to do before and then survivor us right that's what we want we're not sequester access don't do sequester not pirate master we can do that kendra guffey

she's probably seem like it okay here we go all right okay we got a good list okay here we go all right let me see let's see it all right let's let's start with our uh first group of people i think i'm going to try to like narrow it down to just groups of four so that you sure okay so i don't give away the whole 16 okay this was a totally randomized list okay and so let's start off with somebody who uh got mentioned a little bit last week uh due to the big uh netflix fight okay brett closer did brett closer t-shirt designer and i guess we can open up their wiki to see if there's any clues as to whether or not they could have gone to Wicked. Okay.

Brett Closer. What do you think, Brandon? I am, and I don't want to, you know, poison the waters here. I feel like, I don't know Brett. From the time that we spent with Brett in the fall of 2009, I don't know him to be a pop culture guy. I don't know brett from the time that we spent with brett in the fall of 2009 i don't know him to be a pop culture guy i don't know him to be a movie guy i know his t-shirt company was like non-profit which not that's not a that's not a congruent judgment i just feel like he's not tapped in you know i feel like i feel like brett i don't know if brett knows wicked

came out that's my final answer. Yeah, yeah. He's a very religious guy that we know of. He's also left-handed, so I don't think he... And I saw some posts that very religious people were not liking Wicked because it's about witches. Yeah, it's Wicked. People took their kids out. I saw TikTok.

Yeah. We're leaving. Yeah, Brett and Donovan, you know there's only like, there's not that many left-handed Survivor contestants. That's how i remember that brett closer is one of them yeah you you as well yeah but also yeah according to the survivor wiki he's currently based in amsterdam netherlands and works as a web designer so if he's out of the country probably watch it and probably oh for one did not go to see wicked yeah i don't even think they get Wicked. He's not Mike Tyson. He's Brett. He's Brett.

Okay. Alright. Second person. Alright. Janine from Survivor 43. Did Janine go see Wicked? I feel like we could get the answer to this question. I was like, uh... People are going to Wicked. They're posting about it.

They're posting about it. They're posting about it. I talked to Janine on Saturday. Yes. I saw Wicked on Friday night. It didn't come up. Oh. But you know what? Everybody in New York City is seeing Wicked.

I feel like everybody that I talk to on a daily basis. Yeah, yeah, she's here. Can I tell you that she was, I thought, really great on the live show. She's fantastic. She came in with takes. She was good. She came in with takes. I would have really great on the live show. She's fantastic. She came in with takes. She came in with takes. I would have her back on the podcast anytime. Yeah, agreed. Agreed. You could have her on

to talk about Wicked. I don't think she's seen it yet. I think that's my final answer. Okay, so you have not seen it yet, but we'll see it. I think she will see it. Okay. Alright. Next one. Jen Brown. No. Jen Brown hates Wicked. She hates the movies. She hates institutions. No. Jen Brown's too cool to speak. She hates the movies. She hates institutions.

Yeah. I'll take Jen Brown has seen Wicked, doesn't remember she saw Wicked. Or she would never admit it. She might have seen Wicked, does not recall if she had seen Wicked. Sure. Okay. I like that. I like that better.

And there, I don't want to get too far ahead of this, but there is no world where this next person has seen Wicked. J. Okay. I like that. I like that better. Yeah. And there, I don't want to get too far ahead of this, but there is no world where this next person is. J.P. Hilsebeck? No world. Did J.P.? I'm sorry. Yeah.

I don't think he's seen The Wizard of Oz. Yeah. I don't think he saw Survivor before he participated in it. Or since. Yeah, or since. I don't think he's doing a lot of media. I'm out on.

He is famously a firefighter. Scarecrow does not like fire. Sure. Scarecrow wanted a brain. Sure. Yeah. Dot, dot, dot. Mm-hmm.

I think that, yeah, I'm going to go no on JP. Okay, no. So, so far, nobody has seen Wicked. Nobody's seen Wicked. All right, next four. Next four coming out. Okay, here we go uh first up john rocker john rocker go to see we i think john rocker recently active on twitter it looks like

that uh as of somebody sent me on uh x.com i know chappelle you're not there anymore that uh as of after the the first week of november uh for some reason John Rocker activated on back on X.com. He is back. I do not believe he has posted any takes yet about Wicked. Has he posted things about other stuff

that would infer you to believe he hasn't seen Wicked? Any reason he would wait until now to come back to X.com when a lot of people are leaving x.com around the same time you don't think anything that john rocker might have said or done that would make that really attractive to him i don't know he implied that the world was black and white and

now suddenly it's back in in color is there a chance that he posted about Wicked on Truth Social? Do we know? So, yeah. I'm going to say no. John Rocker did not go to Wicked. Yeah. Okay. Do we have John Rocker's tagline for coming back for Super 50? Yeah. Well, his pinned tweet, I believe, is,

I'm back, motherfuckers. So that's like a spin on what Gabe said. You know, instead of telling Jeff, I'm not coming back or I'll be back. You say, I'm back, Jeff. Back, motherfuckers. All right. How about Kelly Czarnecki? Don't confuse her with Kelly Sharbaugh.

Is this from Gabon? Kelly Czarnecki. This is Gabon Kelly. What? This is Gabon Kelly. Yeah. Bro, for a million dollars, I would have never guessed her name Kelly Czarnecki. This is Gabon Kelly. What? This is Gabon Kelly. Yeah. Bro, for a million dollars, I would have never guessed her name was Czarnecki. That's crazy.

Yeah. I'm going to say yes. I think she saw it. I would bet hundo P yes here. Yes. Okay. What do we know about Kelly Czarnecki that would lead you to believe that? I remember she lived in Chicago.

Yeah. I met her in california okay so so she lives in cities okay now what else about kelly zarnacki says like i saw wicked but they do a whole thing every every march in chicago the water's green maybe that's wicked i accidentally accidentally clicked on Jacqueline Berg on the Gabon wiki. Okay, sure. Happens to all of us. Yes, okay. Survivor wiki does not have a lot of trivia about her.

She was the youngest person to compete on Survivor Gabon. Sure. Yeah, okay. But Jay Carwell says, yeah, Kelly saw it and wore green and pink. Is that official? Is that confirmed? I didn't know that she had social media, Jay Carwell says, yeah, Kelly saw it and wore green and pink. Is that official? Is that confirmed? I didn't know that she had social media, J. Carwell.

I'm shocked. I'd be shocked if that was right. Let us know if that's confirmed. Yeah, how did you find that? Drop her socials. We're not going to put it on the YouTube, but we would like to click the Instagram page. That's crazy. Okay, all right. Rafe Judkins.

Rafe Judkins, Big Hollywood big wig. That was so wicked. He was there. At the green carpet. J. Carl Wilde said they made it up. Made it up. But good enough. Good enough for us, J. Carl Wilde. Good enough for us.

This is important to us. Interestingly, Semhar us Interestingly Semhar Did Semhar go to Wicked? Okay Now Semhar is a spoken word poet An artist I think Semhar went to go see Wicked Yeah

She's like the type to not go To like see stuff when it's popular Maybe not opening night She's too cool to go see it soon you know it's like i'll get to it when i'm done doing my poetry or whatever like i feel like she went but or she's going but maybe not like this soon okay all right did not catch it opening weekend for some heart all right yeah all right next four coming out here we go from the opposite tribes this is first off let's just talk about this as a tribe uh this is

a hot mess tribe tribe is is kelly's our neck at our first boot here that would be very sad i think jim brown might quit you know john and john are getting on fantastic yes yeah the johns are definitely like making a run at this rave is hating life he has nothing he has nothing to work with here also yeah the Johns and Jen Brown like have a tight final three justice for Janine

she was robbed yeah okay all right let's then check out our next four coming out for the Tagi tribe okay okay here we go first up Brooke struck did Brooke struck go out our next four coming out for the Tagi tribe. Okay, here we go. First up, Brooke Struck. Did Brooke Struck go to go see Wicked? Why not, right?

She's got kids. She's from Vanuatu. No. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Guatemala. Really, you know, one in the same. Look, same era. Same era. I know who she is. Of course. She's lovely. I met her. same. Look, same era. Same era.

I know who she is. Of course. She's lovely. I met her. She's very, very nice. I met her long before I was on the program. I do know that we're friends on Facebook. She has young children.

So I imagine maybe a family night at Wicked. Family night. Can she post about it on Facebook? Come on, Brooke. Step it up. Here we go. This is an interesting one. Beast mode cowboy. Did beast mode cowboy go see Wicked?

He actually might have gone to see it. He's an interesting guy. You know, at first glance, you would think like he wouldn't like that. But at the same time, we've seen layers of beast mode cowboy on Survivor and Big Brother. He could be convinced. I'm going to go and know here, but I could be wrong. Brandon, one of his best friend's sister is in the movie. Is that right?

Oh, yeah. Frankie Grande. I feel like he had, you know, he knows the family. He could have asked Frankie for tickets. And Frankie's like, just to the AMC? You want tickets to just go see it? And then he's like, yeah. You want to use my movie pass?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think I'm voting yes rob you gotta break the tie did caleb randall's go see uh wicked no i don't think so boom i think he went to go support the brandy maybe he'll watch it eventually okay all right so from beast mode cowboy to uh survivor cook islands cowboy yeah no i'm gonna go no i don't know i think he's he's no longer in this country i don't think that you know oh no he moved um i don't i don't think so i we were friends with on facebook also you know once upon a time yeah now he too like dorothy had like a

dream that was very vivid and explained a lot of things. And Yule was there. It was definitely a bad win. Yeah. So, yeah. And it was a bad win like the tornado. Yeah, that's pretty good. But I doubt Cowboy went to go see Wicked this weekend.

Yeah. What do you think the last movie Cowboy went to go see? Probably Dumb and Dumber. I was thinking karate kid we're on the same page though something a long time ago something uh not not super recent all right no chapelle oh boy brand steel really uh came up with some good ones hot cop dan did hot cop dan go see wicked this weekend do you have a date to take to see Wicked? That would probably make the decision for him. I think he went

if he's in a relationship, I think he went. Sure, sure, sure. I don't think he liked it. I think he went. I think he was pretty negative on the car ride home, but I think he probably saw it. Yeah. Okay. Minos says Hot Cop Dan is married.

I look at those.os says Hot Cop Dan is married. I'm looking. Congratulations to Hot Cop Dan. He saw Gladiator. I think the wife went to Gladiator. He had to choose. Last four for Wicked. The background of Wicked.

We're going to start off with Jatia. Did Jatia go to go see Wicked this weekend? She might have. I think so. I can see a world where that's true. Yes. I think this is the most exciting.

Like, we could find that out pretty quickly. Whereas some of these people, I don't think so. Yeah. All right. Next up, Monica Padilla. Did Monica Padilla go see Wicked? I don't know. Monica is from your neck of the woods, right?

Which neck of the woods? I remember y'all talking. She used to live in California when I lived in California. Oh. You since moved. I don't know. Maybe she's still... I think so. I think I could see her going to see it. For sure.

Sierra Dawn Thomas. Okay? Did Sierra Dawn Thomas. Okay. Did Sierra Dawn Thomas get out to go see Wicked this weekend? I'm going to go that's a no in their household. I feel like I don't know if the witchcraft is

landing. Fan favorite? Game changer. Game changer. She has a watch list that doesn't allow certain couples to go to movies in public and you know you just you know i don't i wouldn't i wouldn't bet on it all right so that's a no-go and then finally west nail absolutely big week for west nail it was 10 years ago that west nail got voted out of survivor josh w Wiggler and I will discuss Wes Nail's boot episode from Survivor San Juan del Sur.

Did he celebrate by taking in not 58 chicken nuggets in five minutes, but did he celebrate by taking in Wicked? Oh, Wesley. Defy gravity. I believe he's also married, so I can see a world where this was a date night. This is a cute date night.

I can see a world where Wes does not go on. This is a cute date night. I can see a world where Wes does not go on that date night. I don't see it, Rob. You have to break the tie again. Wes did not go to see Wicked. No. He famously loves other forms of entertainment.

He's not a movie guy. He's a TV guy. What about the episode of Two and a Half Men when you were naked cooking pancakes or something? Cooking bacon? Bacon, bacon. That's awesome, dude. I love that show.

TV guy. TV guy? Yeah. Okay. What a tribe also. This season is crazy. This season is pretty crack. I think your winner is on this mat, and I don't know what that says

about how the game is going to go. Hey, not the first time Sierra Dawn Thomas has heard that said, Chappelle. And he wasn't talking about her both times. Alright, so should we just go to the finale part one? Because this is also a two-part finale.

Should we pick a winner? Can we all each pick a winner? It's hard to not pick Rafe, but like it just, I don't see Rafe surviving that tribe. Oh my God. I'm going to lock in and I'm going to go, you know, I'm 11 years old on September, I believe 25th of 2008.

And I'm watching Kelly's Arnecchi and I'm locking Kelly's Arnecchi. And maybe this is what it was all for. I say at my tribal council, like I didn't need to be on survivor for now. Like it's what, what comes after. Who you got Chappelle? Chat you can lock into. New Era Queen Janine. I'm going with Janine. That's a good pick. That's a good Janine I'm going with Janine that's a good pick that's a good pick I'm going with

give me Brooke Struck she's gonna be under the radar she's not gonna she's gonna beat the radar she's gonna beat the radar here let's jump into episode 10 okay let's just see what

taking a part of the winner of her season. Taking a little piece of the winner's game. Okay, here's the final seven. It's Caleb, Cowboy, Janine, Jen Brown, Kelly Zarnicki, Monica Piazzemore. I'm out. Uh-oh. Women's Alliance. Uh-oh. Watch out, Beast Mode Cowboy and Cowboy.

The Cowboys versus the cowgirls oh that's great actually all of the women from uh that original begong tribe stuck together and got rid of john rocker uh those guys no one is shocked poor rafe he was like what's happening? He was collateral damage. Rafe might have quit. We don't know that Rafe didn't leave voluntarily. Alright, let's go to part one of the finale. Okay, the final

four ends up being Cowboy. Janine, Kelly Zarnacki and Monica Padilla. Okay. Pretty good picks. I must say. Pretty good picks. Alright. Kelly wins immunity. All right.

Let's go to the finale part two. Final three ends up being Cowboy Kelly. Janine's out. Cowboy Kelly and Monica Padilla. Monica's playing for the third time. This isn't fair. Monica wins the final immunity. She votes out Kelly.

This is bullshit. She's a three-time player. Monica Padilla versus Cowboy. This is her coronation season, Brandon. She's like Boston Rob. All right. Is anybody interested in this? Yeah, I think we got some people.

And the winner is Cowboy. Cowboy won? Wow. Bitter jury. Rob, God. Yep. That's exciting inventor of the back door yeah i don't think he invented the back door no i saw online today that actually they were talking about it in uh in season three they just never got to pull it off i mean season. They just never got to pull it off. I mean, season four, they just never got to pull one off.

But they had already started like the rumblings. Yeah, it was Erica and that cop guy, the FBI agent. What's his name? Jack? Jack. Yeah, they were talking about it. Yeah, I saw a live feed clip from the reality kingdom earlier. Wow.

A little Big Brother history for you. Okay. Nicomas saw Wicked. Jack did not. Nicomas? Yeah. Nicomas saw Wicked. And what about Cowboy

from that season? Her brother? Oh, yeah. He had not seen Wicked. Yeah, none of the Cowboys did. I don't want to know what Cowboy's watching. Yeah, what about Danny McRae?

He's watching Captain. No. Oh, I didn't see that. Kiki, right? Kiki might want to see Wicked. I don't think Kiki wants to see Wicked. I'm just think Kiki wants to see Wicked. I'm just trying to go through all the cowboys that are left.

Oh, ha ha. Jimmy Johnson. Wait, Jimmy Johnson? Nah. He might have seen it. What about Jimmy T? Jimmy T, no. He might use the word Wicked.

Anybody on that season of Survivor watch Wicked? he might use the word wicked anybody on that season of Survivor watch wicked from Survivor Nicaragua yeah any person that's a tough wicked cast Brandon maybe Brandon maybe

but other than that Marty appreciates the arts he likes chess all right brandon anything else about survivor 47 that you want to talk about at this hour um i'm so thrilled i want to can i plug something else that's not well what is it what is it it's so i got really into john lovett's podcast love it or leave it yes it's like a live show every week and it's really fun and if you miss i didn't know i knew loosely who john lovett was i listened to pod save america before in passing but never intensely um and john lovett is so funny yeah i think that if you are interested
