com. Hey everybody, what's going on? Rob Sesterino, I'm back with you, and boy, do we have a treat for you here today? Because, you know, it's the holiday season and we love it when our loved ones come over for the holidays. We're so excited to have back here with us, the host of the Purple Pants podcast, who has now done 600 episodes. the Purple Fans podcast. It's the baby boy,

Bryce Isaiah. Uncle R is so good to see you. No, stop with Uncle R. Because you don't even like Uncle R. You, you, you, you, I could tell, I, I listened to you, uh, and it was, you were very pain to say, you don't like Uncle J. You don't like Uncle Jeff. I don't, I don't like Mr. Jeff either. Uh, the first couple of times, it was I. But at this point in the season, and mind you, I love Christina, but like, yeah, we can retire to Uncle Jay.

Yeah. If my only thing is call them Jeffrey, I can take that, but like, or even Unk. I take an Unk, Jay. Yeah. Is Unk without the name insulting? Well, here's the thing. Yes and no. Because, believe it or not, I'm getting up to the Unk age.

No, you. Robert, the kids, my age is staying the same, but the kids is growing up. And so, yes, some people will call me unk. I'm like, I'm not your own. Okay. It's Bryce, not your unc. But so to some people, it's not, to me, it's very insulting. So don't call me your own.

Even my nephew, my nephew just turned 18 to three days ago. And I text them like, happy birthday, Kai. And he wrote back, thanks Unk. It's Uncle Bryce to you, not Unk. Yeah, I feel like that with the name, it's less insulting than just Unk, which can mean like you're old, you're Unk. Well, I mean, Unk isn't necessarily old because, you know, in our communities, they call the old people like OG.

Mm-hmm. So. Is that bad or good? I mean, for me, it's bad. I'm still a youngian. So, you know, but sometimes, like, you'll go to, like, the corner store and they'll be like, good looking out, OG. Excuse me, I'm not your OG.

They'll be like, my bad, unc. I'm not your unc either. Just call me. I'm a young lady. Just going to the store. Yeah. Now, if and when you return, you wouldn't say, like, Zaddy, Jeff. No.

I would be like Courtney Yates and I would call him Jeffrey. Not, not, I mean, he can only be a zaddy if, uh. Very few survivors ever go last name on, on Jeff. I'll be scared because, you know, me and names don't go together. Just like two weeks ago, I learned to say your name correctly. So I would, I wouldn't want to say that. I'm propped. It's props, right?

Props, yeah. I kind of feel like in my. I'm trying to think of who I've heard say it. Like, I feel like I've heard Colby had said props in the past. Ironically, like, I hear myself telling Jeff, get the girls some chocolate and peanut butter probes. So I myself did say it, but very few times do people ever call him proapsed. Yeah, I would even take props over Uncle Jack or Uncle Jack.

Yeah. Okay, so maybe we'll see somebody give him back the last name treatment. Something. Like, you know, because, you know, he is getting up there. And, like, he is, he is OG status. Maybe to you, he's unct status because y'all close to our age. But I'm far away from y'all. So, uh, yeah, I'll take a Jeffrey.

Of course, Bryce all fall has been touring for all around the country, uh, for Bryson Wynne presents the tour is coming to I see a light at the end of the tunnel two more stops two more stops Robert technically three but two more the Bryce and Wynn

49 the blueprint has been I would say a labor of love but it's been a labor it's been a lot but it's been so much fun and yeah we have two more stops left will be in Boston next week we're returning to Boston

And then for the finale, we'll be from coast to coast. We'll be in L.A. And we will be in New York City. So we're super excited to see how. Wait, how are you doing that? How are you doing Boston, L.A. and New York. And there's only two episodes left. So, yeah.

So Boston is next week, episode 12. And then the finale will have two simultaneous parts simultaneously. Simultaneous parties. How are you doing that? We have the legend. the God, my man, my man, my man, Ozzie and Tiffany are hosting our LA party and a host of their friends. So that is going to be amazing. And if you're in the Los Angeles area, you should treat yourself and be amongst friends and bring in this season 49 with a holiday boat. It's incredible.

What an industry you and Wendell have carved out doing the tour. It's just, it's incredible that it's not only every week, it's like multiple cities per night. It is, Robert. It is so crazy the way that this amazing community has been forming and creating itself. And it is, it takes a lot of work. It tests our friendship. I couldn't even imagine. I'm at the point now, Robert, that, uh, who, it's a lot.

Uh, it is definitely wearing on the baby boy, but it is for, you know, in the hands of the fan, it's for the people. So it is well worth it. And it's been a fun. season. I love meeting people. I love meeting the RHAP community that comes along with us. So it's just been so much fun. Yeah. Let me ask you. Okay. So, all right. So I've been seeing all season that a lot of times you have Ozzy with you guys at the different events. And first off, I'm like, uh-oh, is this like Jack Atkins? Does he need to watch out? Is Ozzie moving into the third wheel

with Bryce and Wynn? Well, I mean, Ozzy always been my plus one for a long time ever since we got up up in their bed for that iconic photo that still is breaking

the internet. So no, the Bryce and Wynn is expanding due to the demand. And so Wendo and I can only be at so many places at one time.

So Ozzy, the legend that he is and he just had, I think, like ACL surgery. So he is on crutches, hobbling around, making it to the events. And so,

you know, Ozzy is just an extension of the baby boy. Yeah. I mean, it's wild. It's like, it's growing. It is growing arms, legs, hands, feet, and toes. And it's just kind of, you know, you have children. I don't have children. I just have turtles.

But it's, you know, you nurture the babies. I've been breastfeeding this price and win. And it's something really interesting to watch and exciting just to see like, your love child grow up. And so it's been fun navigating it. And again, it's all for the fans. It's all for the community. And, you know, just safe spaces to have fun.

Safe space. Safe space. Can we talk about this? Do you want to talk about this or no? You want to come back to this? I mean, I don't know what is this. I don't know. What is this?

This is right that I was watching this clip. Here's when Wendell was, like, vlogging here. So I'm here. Right. And then what's going on here? Then in the background, that you're, you seem to be inspecting Ozzie's crutches. You know, Ozzy was, you know, he was in Philadelphia for a couple of days and he had been in old city. And he was just saying, my crutches smell.

And I'm like, they don't smell, Ozzie. And he was like, no, they smell. And I was like, well, they might. smell but they don't smell bad he's like no they smell jank so i was like let let me be the judge of that what do you say i mean i thought they smelled kind of delightful yeah but i am a person of smell right like i i'm hard of smelling i like you know they the what is it the four senses touch Five. Five.

Touch. Yeah. Yeah. Sight. Oh, don't wait. Touch. Smell sight. Touch smell sight.

He, sound. Hearing. Right. Earing. There's one more. Tase. Yes.

Taste. Yes. So I feel like, I feel like I've shared this with you, Robert. Like my superpower or my super sense is smell. Like, I categorize stuff. Like, and I told just before like,

I know what you smell like. Like, I know what people smell like. Like, I can, I just, you know, I'm a smeller. Yeah. Has your sense of smell heightened or gotten worse over the years? I asked because Nicole, she also, too, has a superpower. And her sense of smell like every year just keeps getting sharper where that she will, like, can identify.

Did you eat? What did you eat today? I'm like, I don't know. Yeah, I think, yes, I think my, as the baby boy ages, I think my smell gets a lot sharper. But I love it, though. Like, I always just have to smell stuff. And again, it's like tied to my memories.

I, uh, we have cherry blossoms here in Philadelphia, like, plentiful. And so, like, whenever they start to bloom, I feel like that's so raven. I smell it. And it takes me back to like fourth grade walking to school. So I'll, I'll, my smell. Okay. So you've spent some time with certainly some people from Survivor 49 from being out on the tour. Who is the best smelling contestant from Survivor 49?

That's actually a really good question. I was, well, three people, actually. Top three. Sophie B. Sof B. Sage. Mm-hmm. And I'm going to go Christina.

They all smell immaculate. Immaculate. Okay. You want me to go the opposite way, too? I mean, if you're, if you'll go there with us. The, the worst smelling is only one person. It's Alex Moore. Really?

Why? I'm just joking. Alex Moore smells fine. Okay. But it's not even a thing of, it's hard to categorize like my smell, right? Where it's like, if I smell somebody, it's not even like you smell. bad. I just like, I know what your scent smells like, if that makes sense. Yeah. I mean, that I can, like, if somebody has B.O., sure, like, I'll know, but that I cannot even process that

human beings have, like, distinct smells. Yes, Robert, like, pheromones. People, people have unique smells. It's like, it's not, I don't know how to explain it. I feel weird every time I say it, But, like, no, again, I can go back to you. I know exactly what you smell like, Rob. Like, you have a woodsy, earthy with, like, a slight, like, what's it, citrus. Oh, citrus. Yeah, like, you have a very distinct smell. Like, every time I hug him, like, hey, hey, Robert.

I like, it's a warm smell. So I know exactly what I know what Chappelle. I can tell you what Chappelle smell like. Why? Well, that, is it not good? No. Yeah. Chappelle smell like earthy.

Earthy. Earthy. Yeah, I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got you. I see you have a picture of Alex Moore behind you.

What's the backstory on that? I do. Well, Alex, I guess before his too soon demise, see, I posted on Instagram and TikTok that, like, his big heads came in. Oh, yeah. His fat heads. He was going it out. Yes. And so he was with us in Baltimore.

So I had text Alex and his sister. And I was like, can you bring me one of those big heads, please? And so I just, I wanted it in my room for Alex. Yeah. So, you know, help him do puzzles. Because Alex is going to like things. But puzzles in Sudoku is not Alex Morse Forte. Yes.

And digging in the right spot. Yeah. He was actually, he was fine with the puzzle, right? Yeah. Yeah, Rizgod had the problem with the puzzle, but Alex couldn't dig up in the right spot. He couldn't dig. Let me ask you about what's going on here on Survivor 49 because I feel like that really... Can I get a right off of my chest?

Please. Well, we haven't done a water cooler talk in a long time. You know, hopefully we'll start them back up in January. But on the road, everyone comes up to me is like, we miss you and the Rob, water cooler talk. Yes. And so I just want to give you a little 4-1-1 before we jump up into the spot. thing. Okay.

Do you want to know what like my newest pet peeve at work is, Rob? It's co-worker etiquette, okay? Co-worker etiquette, right? Because you know, I'm traveling. I do a lot. So sometimes I might miss a meeting or I might be a little late to a team's meeting. And so if you're, and listen to me clear, everybody, that's in the corporate world. If you're long going one morning and you're on teams and your co-worker says,

on teams, hey, sorry I'm late, or just, hey, anyone else having any connection problems? Do your coworker a solid essay, my system's been running a little slow too, because Denise at my job, she loves to be like, no, running fine, everything good, okay? Nobody asked you, Denise. Go back to whatever you were doing. Give your co-workers some grace, Rob. Yeah. Cover for them. You don't even got to cover, but just, you know, don't even write back if that's the case.

But you don't have to like, no, I logged on at 830. It was great. Still running fast. Well, great, Denise. Yeah. Do you need like a safe word for the other coworkers to be able to pick up what you're putting down, like an emoji? Like anybody else have it? And then, like, it's like shrug emoji.

Right. I was like, oh, he did the shrug. He did the shrug. Throw your coworker a ball. Like, I just, ugh. And it don't happen a lot. But, you know, sometimes, you know, you just give me a two-minute grace. Let me get the southern butterpaccan coffee cream and my coffee and let me just ease on into the workday.

But okay, right off my chest. Thank you for listening. All right. We can do some water cooler here today, too. Can you fix Denise's Internet, sir? and make it a little more sticky sometimes. Make it slow. You need like a hacker to like try to spam her.

And that's like, hey, can you hit Denise this morning? I'm running right. But I'm just waiting for the day, Rob, that she puts in the teams. Like, hey, having trouble with my, I'm not. No, everything's good. Everything's good here. Perfect. Crystal clear.

Yeah. Okay. Well, some of these survivors are having trouble right now with with their connection and we're going to find out soon of who's it going to be because it's really I feel like that it's an interesting scenario where I kind of feel like that it's a movie where we kind of know like what we are headed towards next week even though the players don't because we know about this knowledge is power that's coming where Sof has this advantage. Rizzo has his idol but also

So Stephen has his vote block, and we think a lot of this is going to come to ahead next week. Do you have a sense of how you feel like it's going to go? Kind of sort of, right? Like, because I am, I'm a Sophie B fan over here. I was a Sophie Saghetti. Cardi B. Sophie B. You know, hello, it's me.

Hello. And so I'm loving the Sophie B arc, and Sophie B has been teasing us and teasing us that she's ready to make a move. And so I am really hoping that Sophie B stills Rizzo's idol leaves him. And imagine we love the R-I-Z-G-O-D. Like, we love the Riz God. Yes. But I'm loving to Sophie because she's just, you know, we've just been seeing her get beat down this whole season. So it's like we want that arc.

So I would love it if she would potentially steal his idol, leave him vulnerable at tribal. The Riz God goes home. episodes. Sophie B. then plays the idol. Boom. That's what five. She went immunity. I would just love to see this run of a Sophie B kind of break away.

It would be exciting. It would be. I'm not sure what or how it will happen, but I'm interested to see. Yeah. And I talked about it this week on the Survivor News. Remind me

with her knowledge is power. Like, doesn't she have to state exactly what it is in order to get it? Yes, I listen to you all talking about this. I think that from what I remember from the past was I think she has to say, Bryce, do you have an idol or do you have an advantage? I don't think she needs to specifically call out which advantage do you have. Okay. So if she were to ask Steven, so she wouldn't need to know exactly with you. Stephen, do you have an advantage?

And Stephen. But yeah, his thing is tricky where that he, that I think Jeff had said on on fire where that if he, for this block of vote, it's somehow you tell the producer before you go. So technically he would already play the block of vote before they go to tribal council. So he's, well, I had an advantage. Very true. Do you, this is one of the moments where I think. that like survivor is doing it for that moment and i actually like don't think it need all of that like let them play it to have it so if somebody could steal it but we'll we'll see what happened

she's already barking up the wrong tree if she tries to steal the block of vote yeah what that yeah to get the idol go for you got to go for the idol um do you think that she has it in her to take her ally rizzo's idol absolutely well i mean up until last last this episode episode right here, episode 11, I thought she did. You know, we've seen her time and time again say that, like, she's only with Savannah and Riz until she's not, but we've seen them bond. We've seen them form this relationship. So I, she had the chance this episode, but I do think it could have been a little premature.

I do think she is closer to Savannah than she is to Riz, so I absolutely can see her taking that shot at Riz. But in my opinion, from what we are watching just as viewers, it's like, Babeay, you need to take that shot at that shark, the killer whale that is Savannah. Because I don't understand my eyebrows aren't as good as Sage's. Yeah. But like, ain't nobody been listening to Sage this whole time. Sage has been telling y'all, Savannah is a cold killer.

Okay, she's good. Okay. But even she didn't go for Savannah this time. Well, that's because Sage was pissed off. Sage was Liz Wilcox. She wanted revenge for Joanne, and I don't care what nobody says. I'm glad that she did. I know it's like, oh, revenge is better served cold, but in my opinion, serve my revenge.

Hot, yeah, yeah. Put it in the microwave for that extra 30 seconds and pull it out and serve it. Yeah. So I would love to know from you in terms of being a player, do you feel like that you would be like a sage? you feel like that you would have be like a similar motivation of like if you if somebody hurt you like that you would want to get them instantly i think purple pants bryce back in the day uh or kagian absolutely i think the evolved bryce um i would the better price i would the better brice i'm i took a pause on the road to a better price i'm parked the car right

now just watching the scenery but i i do understand it's a game and so you can't act on emotions, but it's easier said than done because I take it back to my time at Cagion, right? Where it's like, oh, it's the numbers game. And I knew they were splitting the vote on me, but I was just so pissed off that my girl

Alexis would be coming for me that I said, F the numbers game, I'm putting a vote on you. So, it's easy for us to sit and watch and be like, oh, don't act on your emotions, but when you're out there, your emotions definitely run high yeah i feel like for sage that there were two people that she felt like

she needed to get out and whether it was savanna or whether it was sophy that i think that she's like okay well now you're number one on my heels i don't think she forgot about savanna but i think it's like okay well i'm gonna get you today you need to go home anyway and so i'm yeah now is your turn see but right And again, the un-evolved Bryce, I'm with that. Like, I'm with Sage on that. But the evolved Bryce, right? And we're taking out Skeddy, right? That's the challenge threat.

Only three people have one immunity challenges. So, Yellow Sophie is. Yes, Skettie. Okay. Because I think of it the reward, which was spaghetti. Well, that's kind of like you know. Because her last name is close to that. So I just like call her Schedy.

Skeedy. Skeddy, Savannah, and Steven, they're the challenge comps. And so what Sage runs the risk of is getting rid of Skettie. Now it ups Savannah's chance at winning immunity.

And that gets her harder. So I do feel like, although I loved it and thank you for serving the revenge hot, I do feel like, Sage, we left Savannah in. And Savannah is a problem in the best way, right? Although I'm, like, hating on her because it's like I want all these people to make other moves.

But I love a Savannah. And so all the people out there like, oh, she's playing too hard. What are y'all talking about? Because if Savannah were a man, if Savannah's name was Mo Manna. Mo Manna. Y'all would be like, oh. Savannah, Savannah, Mo Manna. Right.

Y'all, she's the next Boston Rob. So I love the intensity. And I love how she is playing. But, like, why are y'all leaving a killer in? They said if the glove don't fit, you must acquit. Her glove fits. Okay. Savannah is wearing the glove.

Okay. She got to go. What are y'all doing? Yeah. If you're scrambling for great gifts for your friends or family, trust me, I've been there. But Aura Frames is the gift that solves all of that. different about an aura digital frame is that you can preload photos in it before it even ships,

Bryce, what's the most strenuous thing you've ever done? Robert. This is a family-friendly show. What is the most strenuous thing I've ever done?

Besides Bryson Wendon, Tore 40. the blueprint. You know what I would say, Rob? When I moved, I had bought a couch. It didn't fit. And so my mom felt me another couch. If the couch don't fit. Yo, I can't sit.

Okay. So my mom bought me a similar couch, but it had to be put together. And it's a really nice couch, but it kind of came with, like, it didn't come with, like, Ikea instructions because, like, you know, I can read. I'm on the reading level of IKEA instructions. This thing was the antichrist of that. This thing was like step by step, my step, my step, and it came in like seven boxes.

And so it took me a total of like 11 hours to put this sofa together. So that, for me. The self. The self. Now, this is before you were friends with Wendell? Yes. This was before I was first.

Yes, because he would have, I would have just build me a couch. So this was, this was pre- So it wasn't even moving the couch. It was just putting the couch together. It was putting it together. And again, it came out like eight boxes. And then my living room is but so big. So it's like, you had to maneuver the boxes. And again, it wasn't IKEA level.

Like, they had you like do a checklist of like making sure you had all the pieces, which sure I'm grateful for, but you got to lay it out. Yeah. Then you're like stepping over the pieces. Then you got to put it together. Then you lose the pieces. Then you lose like, then once you get a form together, then you realize, oh, this is on the right side.

Now I have to like move over. Oh, it was a lot. It was a lot. I still have a couple extra screws left over. They said it should be no extra screws left over. But the couch is still standing. Okay. So I know you go out, you run.

You're a fit guy. Could you have, completed the strenuous journey? I like to say yes but not with as much time that Stephen had left. Because you

you're a runner, right? Yes, I've been on a bit of a hiatus. It's like, you know, big back season right now. So, you know, we're... It's big back season? I didn't even know. It's big back season. That's why I got this jacket on, you know. Yeah. Cover the big back. So I'm on a bit of a hiatus of running.

But when I get back into it, sure. But with the humidity, the rocks. Yeah, Stephen was on a mission. Steve, that wasn't on my bingo card watching the episode. See a Stephen run around that island. I'm sure I could have completed it, but it would have been a very, very, very close call. Yeah.

I think you would have had it. Thank you, Robert. Yeah. What do you do when you go out and run? Run? Yeah. What do you do? like a long distance so i mean normal like it's maybe like four miles and i like trail running so

i don't okay so you'd be perfect for this so i do like a little trail uh and you know just slight incline uh like the pebble small but i think uh the place that i run in my area it's like a it's called forbidden drive and it's like very sounds to the water exotic it is and it is and Like, I think you got to be careful, though, because when you run with headphones, I want to say the, like, the last decade, I think maybe three people have died from my... What?

No, RIP to them. But it's a very wooded area. So trees fall. And so, like, when you run with headphones, sometimes you won't hear the trees fall in. So... Trees fall on people? It's not funny, Rob.

What are the chances that you'd be? He's just running and you're moving and a tree falls on you and takes you out. No wonder it's called the forbidden drive. It's like a cursed forest. What are the chances? It's like if a tree falls in the forest, does anybody hear it? But like, are they lumberjacks? How does this tree, trees falling on so many people?

Like the chances of one person dying from a tree fall. falling on them are so small. Like I get it if they tripped over the, they're not paying attention and they trip over a tree. The trees fell on them. They have like signs to tell you like keep one ear like to run with like one ear open. Yeah. Wow.

Yeah. Yes. Yeah. So it's a very wooded dense area and it's like just piece. so that's not that peaceful your final piece can you imagine the trees are taking out the runners

I'm sorry Robert stay out of there Bryce that's my favorite place to run and they have this they have this other place and people will have died there too, but to their own,

they have this other place in Forbidden Drive. It's called Devil's Pool. Bryce. But no, it's beautiful. It's like this cliff and it is a waterfall and it's like a pool of water that's maybe like seven feet deep. And so people during the summer will like hang out. It's like a, it's like a lake in the city.

But people drink and like dive. and do dumb stuff and so like there have been deaths there as well but it is it is beautiful

shut it down close the park not shut it down shut it down yeah it's dangerous but it is beautiful though it is

a devil's pool it's like a little oasis in Fairmount Park in the middle of like the city of Philadelphia but

you know there's there's risk with everything but yeah yeah danger dangerous fun at the park okay yeah okay um so stephen ends up getting this advantage this week uh did you like how stephen played it when he came back i did like i was confused as to the face plant directly into the sand I was like, to me, that was a bit much. Yeah, I was like, I don't think he got it. They're like, how are you, Stephen? He's like, oh, that's how I look like after I watched the jet game.

How was it? Not good. So some people look on forbidden drive. Yeah. Yeah, I thought he played it really well. because like what's point of lying at this point right because it's like I like that mysterious cloak that it gave him where let him know because like Stephen is like an agent of one essentially he does have Christina and stage but he's been playing his own game and he's been tossed around a couple of times so I really like this and I like this arc that is building of a Steve. where it's like he could potentially sit next to a couple of combinations I could see Stephen winning. So I really like this art on Stephen. And you know, he works for NASA. He's a space

engineer. I love it. I can talk my alien conspiracy theories with him. Yes. Okay, well, Bryce, I've been talking about Survivor 51. I think needs to be Survivor Area 51. What do you think? I'd be here for it. Yeah. But I haven't figured it out yet. So, Tribal Council is going to be like a crash spaceship. Okay. But what else are we doing? We need the six foot tall aliens that look like African Americans. Is that what they're saying?

That's what the hostile airship that they were saying was going to come around. Thanksgiving. They were saying that. So yeah, we need that. Yeah. Okay. Well, we need a rover. Okay, that's going to be.

Are they players, these aliens? or they're just like we're gonna get just get them in the show but this gonna be in the show okay like you know when the people pull up on a boat to like pick them up like that

they'll be there for that they'll come in yeah beam them up okay but I feel like I need I need to help with figuring out the rest of it I can help you

yeah we'll work it out but by are you getting any other good alien intel So not, well, I mean, Stephen and I have talked for hours about, well, I forget what the name of Atlas, something. Yeah, Atlas. Stephen was saying, it's the interstellar object that's coming. That's doing a drive-by in our solar system. That was, you know, illuminating light from within, not moving like a star.

But Stephen said the research that he had done, and I trust Stephen's research, he said it to, it's a comment. It's fine. I didn't know, Stephen had done any research on the Atlas. Me and him are text changed. You really are tapped in. Oh, yes. Yes. From the moment I met Stephen, he told me for NASA, the spaceship,

and the company that he's working with is building a spaceship. Yeah. And sometimes I feel bad because it's not even like, hello. It's just sending different friends and different stuff. And he's just essentially debunking it. And he's like, you can't believe that, Bryce. I'm like, but how do you know? Yeah, you and I talked over the summer, and then you were telling me that there was going to be,

there was talk about the aliens coming by the fall, right? Yeah, it was supposed to be for Thanksgiving. Are they late? Are they behind? Did they hit traffic? They was running into some trees off a bed drive. Something was happening. I don't know.

Okay. Yeah. Then he had me watching Three Body Problem on Netflix. Did you ever hear that? Yeah, that's from a couple years ago. Yeah, he said the book's really good, but I'm on like the last episode. I'm not really liking where it's going, so I... You stuck with it.

I did, but I got like 30 minutes of the last episode, so I have a pause on it. The three-body problem sounds like the park that you go run in. Devil's Pool for Ben Drive. Yeah. Okay. Bryce, this season, we have an issue where we have two people named Sophie. Of course, we have Sof, blue Sophie, and then Screddie, Sophie, Sigretti, yellow Sophie. But I was wondering, I was thinking about what would you do if you were on a season?

And you got there to Kagi on. And guess what? There is another Bryce. I would be excited. But more than, see, the issue, I like that. Not another you, but another like, okay, here's B-R-Y-C-E. and they would be Bryce with a Y. Yeah.

And then it would just be Bryce. Hmm. Because the correct way to spell Bryce is B-R-I, not B-R-Y. Yeah. But they don't call her Sophie with an E. I'm confused as to why. Well, first of all, how do you give some, well, I guess. Because in the era of nicknames,

do you create your nickname or is the nickname given to you? I feel like the nicknames that stick are the nicknames that are given. You know, when we think of some of the famous survivors with nicknames, Fabio was given to Judd. He did not say it call me Fabio. Wait, wait, didn't Fabio win? Yes. Wait, so his name wasn't Fabio?

His name is Jud. Judd Berza. Somebody on Survivor, Wikipedia, need to fix that Because they have just They have Fabio on there I thought that was his real name I think it's actually Judson is his real name And so I don't remember if like when we did the preview

Like if you look up his bio on CBS.com If he was Judson or if he was Fabio Before the season started Because very early on Because the person that calls him Fabio is the second boot, but it really stuck. That was a season of a lot of nickname.

Purple Kelly. We got the purple edit. The Purple Kelly. Yeah, but she was Purple Kelly because she had purple hair, not because they didn't know about her edit before they started. So, wait, hold on, wait. You're dropping a lot of bombshells on me, robbers. Yeah.

Okay, wait. So they call it the purple edit. Yeah. Because it happens to Kelly who had purple hair. Yes. And that's why they call it the purple. So it had nothing to do with like the shade of like, I thought it like, you know, rose color glasses. No, no, it was that because she had purple.

She had like a streak of like, there were two Kellys and she had like a streak of purple in her hair. And they called her Purple Kelly. And then the purple edit was just that because you were getting the edit of Kelly of Purple Kelly who got nothing. But compared to some of the people nowadays, she got probably probably more. right that is okay you're about to teach me something Robert Papa Smurf did not show up and say hey call me Papa Smurf

his name is Gary What about Didn't we call somebody Papa Bear with the blonde hair And the flight of it did Papa Bear I believe told people to call him Papa Bear Mark Caruso I'm trying to think of anybody else In the new era who really got a

nickname you know Riz God he doesn't nobody other show calls him risgod he only calls himself risgod it's the weirdest thing he only is like r i z g od in in the confessionals but he's never told anybody hey call me risgod that is true and i guess q uh he just told us q because his name is quintavia his name is quintavis i don't know do people you know him outside the show do people in his real life call him quintavius i do yes but you always use i mean you call me robber you use people's formal name but yeah but for q it's for sure quintavius yeah because he don't think i could drive um so it's just it's quintavius yeah and i can't drive

and i have a driver's license okay thank you yeah i believe you thank you yeah just stay out of that park yeah um but i'm sure that there is like some other famous survivor nicknames of trying to think back to Boston Robb Boston. So Boston Robb that he was on a season

with two robs and so that he was with, that he was Robb and then that there was another guy the general who was Robert DeCanio. But I think that the general did say, I think he had a picture a tattoo of like the General Lee I think

or a tattoo of some general. And I think he might have said, call me the general. And then the other Rob became Boston Rob. Okay. We had the Ward Dog, which was very interesting at that time. Yeah.

But War Dog, that he calls himself, like Dan, he calls himself War Dog outside the show, right? Yes. Oh, yeah, I can't even call him Dan or Daniel. And Coach, I think is another one, a famous one, who, you know, he's, you know, told people, call me, coach. Yeah.

So I guess I bring all that up to say that, like, when they decided these nicknames, like, I didn't love how it was done. Like, how are y'all going to just tell me Sof and Sophie? Like, I think it would have been easier, yellow Sophie, blue Sophie, or Sophie B. I think Sophie B is so much more rolls off the tongue. Sophie B is good. Sophie S is, is. not great with the

you know they're not a great initial so you know I had to be Rob C on Survivor All-Stars why didn't I get a cool nickname and they only started to call me the Rob that sucks after Survivor why you ain't just go with Robert

wasn't an option so wait they just even like when you were out there like in your marooning you knew you were going to be Rob C or like after filming and like Jeff was like Rob C.

I just feel like all of my stuff said Rob C on it but that don't mean that that's what they wanted you to call yeah I don't know that was Rob C that's it and it's funny because Jeff still

Jeff still Jeff still calls you that He calls me Rob C I think he calls me Cesterino more often than not True, true, true, true I somehow graduated to the last name treatment Even though I don't think I was ever called That by last name on the show

Yeah I have to go back to Survivor All Stars If he ever says my name If He, but I think even when people vote for me On Survivor All Stars, I think they say Rob C What about Robbie C? Should I be going by then? you don't like it we don't know not a rock i think that's the same thing like a sophie s a rob bc

that sounds a little no no good no no it sounds like you sound like you go running and forbidden drive i don't like a roby yeah okay i don't know maybe that'll stick robbie rhabi c like a b like abc we'll take I'll take Rob C or Robert. Okay. So you were talking a little bit about Savannah earlier and about how she is the shark. We've seen her butt heads with a few of the different players this season. Her and Christina got into it. And they said that there was a strong dislike between both of them.

Then I heard that on social media, Savannah said, that that was all stagecraft that they were just trying to make up a fake fight at Tribal Council to try to keep Sophie S. distracted. Oh. Oh.

Would you ever have a fake fight on Survivor? Yeah, but I don't think I would need to have a fake fight. I could there's always a reason to fight. Yeah. But sometimes fake fight scared me because I think that that was good, right?

But watching it back, I did think that it was a bit weird, them going back and forth. And in my interpretation, I felt like it was more passive-aggressive in the sense of, I felt like Savannah was really talking to Sophie S. So that's what I took of it. But I thought that her and Christina were having that moment, but I thought Savannah was like, Christina, we'll get to you later.

Yeah. Honestly, when you say that, like, okay, well, what was Savannah doing? to try to, like, throw Sophie S off when the things that she was saying at tribal council were kind of a little off where she was like, I'm here to get revenge on the people that said my name in this vote tonight. So knowing that, okay, how much of this is all just theater for one person in Yellow Sophie? Like, I think that things do make a little bit more sense than the tribal council. A lot more sense. And it's like, I, we didn't see a lot of skeddy yellow

Sophie pre-merged. But towards, after we merged, we started to see, you know, her game play. We started seeing her win. And I was really excited for the arc of Skeddy. And I had was very vocal last week when she got Joana. I'm like, baby,

that's the wrong move. I'd rather be, because at that point in time, when it was five, I'd rather be at the bottom of a five than a bottom of a four. Yeah. Because there's two pairs on the other side. Right. Like, it's like you can maneuver. felt like, and it just hate because, like, we didn't want to see Joanne go, but also it's like

it just would have left her so much more wiggle room. And we could have potentially got the shark out, which is Savannah. Yeah. And again, I just don't understand how she's still here. And well, I think that a lot of times, you know, Rizzo's idol has been helpful. Also, she's won immunities. And so that people get distracted, they think of other things they want to do. I want to ask you, You brought up Jo-Wan. I noticed, so the Purple Pants podcast, episode number 600 this week, again, congratulations. I noticed was named Turtleneck, but I don't recall in the episode when you and the baby boys discussed Joanne's Turtleneck. Tribal Council.

No, I, yes. And maybe I might have spaced out like Stephen at the point that you mentioned it. But I thought it was very interesting. I don't remember a lot of turtlenecks on Survivor. You're in a tropical island. Yeah, it looked great, though. No, it did. I mean, it was swallowing his whole neck and it was up to his ear.

It was a whole new look for Joanne. I didn't even recognize him. I didn't either. He came out sharp. Him and MC have been the showout for me on. What a, like, a total flip. Like, Joanne is in the game. with no shirt on and overalls.

And then we flip the script. And now he's got like cashmere turtleneck. And it's like double-necked. And it's fitted. And he's flexing. It's like, oh, okay. Now we know when you have your own bag, when you don't take other people's bag,

we know you got turtlenecks in your bag. Yeah. Do you think that Joanne could be following suit with Saul and vying for the Zaddy calendar cover and the Turtleneck? I think, you know, the Issa look has changed the game and how people take their photos. I think the Zaddy calendar with Zaddy Saul busing out. And that vest, I think the game is evolving. It's interesting because this is the first season where that they are going to go play. I think they saw all of 47 these people that went to go play on this.

So they definitely know about Saul's jury fit that do you think that the players, like, are really coming in to, like, show out on the jury and, like, rock the fashion? I think so. I mean, I think so, too. My DMs have been, my texts have been like, you don't say, what's up? And I'm saying, I don't know. I don't know what's not up to me. It's in the hands of the fans, okay?

The hands of the fans. The daddy calendars in the hands of the fans? It's always been in the hands of the fans. I am the fans. In the hands of the only fans. And the hands are the only fans. Okay. Another little, not a gripe, but okay, CBS.

I see y'all see what the baby boys doing. Oh, that they made a calendar. Y'all have 50 seasons. I put Saul on the cover And now y'all want to get Rupert reaching for a tree I see you Jeffrey Jeff P You feel like

They were reheating your nachos with the calendar They put them back in the microwave But listen, I love it though But I did Your Chappelle A podcast at the calendar Y'all had me rolling Okay

Because it's like Who is picking these photos? It was a little, I don't know if it was given AI or like, hey, we're up against the deadline. What photos do we have? Somebody with a nickname was definitely picking the photos. What do we got? You got TK getting voted out? You have that one?

Let's grab that. Maybe somebody wrote in the wrong thing. Maybe if somebody was suggesting TK for that. the Zaddy calendar, and they sent it into the wrong email. They sent it to, they sent it to Jeff D.P. And yeah, who knows, but the Zaddy calendar is changing the game. Changes the game. Yeah.

What do you think about Jawan celebrating from the jury bench? And it didn't bother me, but I thought it was interesting because I think it's something that we don't typically ever see where jurors getting, like, excited about who got voted out. I think it's kind of back to what I said. When you serve the revenge hot. Yeah. Okay. You get those type of reactions. And you know, normally they tell us or they tell us like I was a jury. Let me stop lying. I have heard, you know, production, they don't really want you to have really any reactions, right? They just kind of like, why not? We're making a TV show. Let them have a reaction. Who cares?

Let him go like Jerry Springer audience. I agree. And so I love it to see Joie. I was confused. I didn't know what muscles he was flexing the muscle. I was waiting for to see the muscle flex. But I was the turtle. I will say on a serious note, like I think it's a slippery slope of that you don't want the jurors talking.

Like I think that as a purest of the game, I think it's a slippery slope where it's like if they want to like make gestures. that's fine but they shouldn't be talking and then like you don't want them like doing charades of like okay I don't know wait that that that's just playing cheap yeah but the jurors talk yeah they talk but you don't want them giving information back to the players like in the game so it's a slippery slope of like okay we like okay the jury the jury used to come in and be very stoic, don't to make any expressions, but now, you know, you like to have a little bit of, like,

animation in the jury, but it's... You feel like Joanne doing that was giving something away? No, no, I'm just saying it's like, I'm saying I didn't mind it, but I feel like that. If we let the jury do too much stuff, I think it gets a little dicey. Well, yeah, I mean,

if production sees somebody being like, he has an idol, like I feel like they should be removed as a drawer. Wow. Could you imagine? That's one step up from like when they took people out of Ponderosa. But that's what I'm saying. Because like that, that's that, now that's cheating. Mm-hmm.

And I wonder what they would do in a situation like that with the next person that should have, could have would have been added. But yeah, like, no, you should be taken out of the game for that. That's cheating. I'm trying to think of times where that's happened where somebody gets voted out and they know information that their ally doesn't know. I'm trying to think if there's like a good instance of where that's. I'm sure somebody in the comments is going to come up with it.

But you say you vote me out and I know you have an idol. As I'm being voted out, I can turn to like not the jury, but I could turn to everyone and like my last words can be like Rob has an idol, FYI. Yeah. Right. I know this has happened in Australian Survivor where I think that the person, and it made it up, it wasn't even true.

I mean, we have it in U.S. Survivor where it's like, well, good job, Bryce. Bryce is going to win everybody. Where it's sort of like, okay, I sort of like put the hex on you by saying, oh, you're going to win. Now they're not going to vote you out. Yeah. I think that was with like Shannon Ricard. I think that Shan got wrote out and was like, good job, Ricard. But I like that.

Like, that's a part. Like, I feel like that's a part of the game, though. Like, that's why you have to be careful who you vote out. You don't know what they're going to say on their way out. And I feel like on their way out is still fair game. Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting in terms of, like, people that have a secret that is relevant to a player that's still in the game that they don't know about. Now, you can't be on the jury being like, Rob has an idol.

Like, you can't do that. But on your way out, I feel like that's all. is fair. Yeah. It would be interesting to see. And especially if Jeff hasn't snubbed your torch yet. Yeah. Okay. Bryce, I had a question for you about it is the holiday time of year. I know you get started on your holiday shopping so early in the year. When did you start holiday shopping this year? Right after Halloween, but I'm doing a small Christmas this year. Oh. I'm only doing the kids, the kids and the babies. That's all I'm doing.

That's it. And you over 18, you're an adult. Yeah, that's it. Uncle Bryce don't got time for you. I'm only doing the kids. Yeah. That's it. So, but I did start right after Halloween.

Yeah. So I was wondering, you know, in, do you ever do Secret Santa at your office? For Denise. But I guess, well, Secret Santa is, yeah, You pick a name out and then you bring it to a holiday party. Yes. Yeah. For somebody.

Okay. And I was thinking, what if you were doing a secret stand? What if you were doing a secret stand with the players that were on the show? Oh. Okay. You go out there and, okay, we're going to, hey, it's the holidays that Bryce and the surviving players are going to be doing. I mean, maybe there's a few people from the jury also. are going to do Secret Santa.

And so you can only spend like $20 on the gift. Maybe you can go a little bit over and you get some names for people. And then do you think you would be able to figure out a gift for some of these people? I absolutely think so. Okay. All right. Bryce, you reached into the bowl and you got. Sage in the Secret Santa.

Oh. If I got Sage for Secret Santa, I will go to five and below. Yeah. And I buy a Mason jar for her to put her blackheads in. Easy peasy. How big do you think the jar is? I think Sage. Has she posted on Instagram yet, the jar?

I don't know. But in my mind, you know where you go to Costco's and get those big jar pickles like I feel like it's one of those yeah like when they have like pork rinds like a big thing yeah I hope that when we get to do the exit interview with her she's like well Rob you know right here here we go here's a now here it is where you go zoom in on this guys I just put it's fresh with two in there but here's the weird thing about me I would be curious to know like just the scent of the jar. Well, you watch a pimple popper, right?

And you watch like YouTube stuff on that? Yeah. You know, when you're scrolling, you don't see. It's not my algorithm. I don't have that. Okay. Because for me, it's the pimple popper and it's the ingrown hairs. But my newest thing, I love a, I love a good ingrown hair.

My newest thing that my godson put me onto is a ass. Wait, I probably, A-S-M-R, but it's like bedtime stuff. So it's like, he put me on, it's on YouTube, this lady, her name was like, safe space. Because I was trying when I was on my, before I got out the car on the road to a bed of Bryce, because right now it's just parked right now. I was listening to like positive affirmations going to sleep. Like, tomorrow's going to be a good day. Yeah.

Who are worthy. So I was like trying to do that. And my guy's son was like telling. me what he listens to and it's like ASMR but it's like she'll give you a facial or she'll be like washing your hair it is like it sounds weird but Robert Iby put me right to sleep she's okay that's good welcome thank you for coming I'm gonna open this shampoo bottle and she's like I'm gonna run the well oh it's so relaxed it's like the facial the shampoo the foot massage oh Robert yeah my kids especially Dominic for whatever

reason really likes ASMR stuff. And it's like, ah, it's gross. I feel like it's like in my ears. I don't like it. But he really, he watches it and loves it. My kids don't believe in any headphones or anything like that. Everything they do is very loud. It's on speakerphone. But I do tend to, like I've been doing a lot of nighttime listening to things where I have no problem falling asleep, but I wake up in the middle of the night and I do find that it's just like, otherwise my brain is going haywire but like having something else to listen to helps me like okay now I'm not it's like I get back to sleep get your hair get your hair wash I don't want to ASMR of shampooing though no but you got to try it Rob you're be I feel like you're being a bit

judgey it sales weird but like I just don't like ASMR that it's it's nothing against the shampooing it's just like I don't like when they like like so close in the microphone. Like, okay, okay. Like, ah, I don't, I don't like would give a whispering in my ear. Well, okay, when is the last time somebody whispered in your ear?

You can't say. Whisper in the ear is kind of wild, though. And especially when, like, they put, like, just whisper, don't cover, like, my, like. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Now, I know you go to a lot of the events, and then when people have to, like, you know, it's loud at the events, wherever you go, and people have to, like, try, like, they yell in your ear, probably.

They do. But, you know, it's a, it works. Yes. But then I bet some people, you really get to know who has good breath and who does it. Yes. I do. And more recently, who has not been having good breath is Wendyzie, Robert. Yes.

Yeah, but you always say that, but that's not true. No. Hand a moment. We were in Baltimore and you were asking me like, do you know where the scissors are? I was like, oh. Yeah. But that's a tough situation when it's like, like, if it really is like, okay, your friend, And you could tell your friend.

It's harder when it's a stranger. Would you what someone to tell you? Okay. Let's talk about breath etiquette. Yeah. Because I am one of the ones to believe, like, I know when my breath is a little tart. But you have such a good sense of smell. I would hope so, but I really, I don't know.

And I'm so hard of smelling. I feel like you're like... But I just feel like it's like... I feel like, yeah, I feel like I can sense it more than anything. So if you were talking to someone at a patron event and they smelt, like, would you want them to say like, Robert? Well, I am very self-conscious about, you know, oh, I hope, like, because I know I'm going to have to be like, it's like talking a lot of people's faces that I'm very self-conscious about like, oh, I don't want to have, you know, offensive breath. but a lot of times I chew gum but I'm like a

I'm like a bad gum chewer You're a bad You're not or you are bad I am a bad gum chewer I chew the gum and then like my mouth I'd be like I know how you chew gum Like leave me alone Okay I don't know how to chew gum

I like to do it and I don't know how But also first of all Because I get that critique a lot Like what people say I'm smacking But like are you not supposed to enjoy the gum Like, how else are you supposed to get the flavor out? I don't know how to chew gum, okay? I'm sorry.

I don't know the perfect way to chew. I guess I could watch, like, a TikTok video, but... They do have ASMR. When's the last time you had, like, some bubble-licious? So I really only chew mint gum. I don't really chew any, like, bubble gum. You've had bubble-licious gum before. You know it's like the chunky, like...

No, I was... I'm broken. My mom was grossed out by it, And then my mom just, like, bubble gum, cotton candy. Ach, disgusting. So, yeah, so there's that. Never, you've never had bubblelicious? I think this, this, my mom, I think it's just like, my mom said it's gross.

And she's like, uh, just instilled it in, in me as a young person. And I've never, it's like, like, I think it's, it is like, to me, like, uh, not pleasant. Well, it does hurt your jaw But oh my God The flavors for the four seconds that it has flavor Oh, it's pure cinema Delight It's a vibe

It's a vibe Oh my God Robert When people say you have offensive breath Right like does that make you rude For having offensive breath? Um, so no one had said to me that I have offensive breath. I just want to be clear, but, uh, I would, like, I would not want to, um, be offending with my breath.

But if you don't know, you have offensive breath, like, you know, I, I tend to, like, before I go and do, like, the, like, I buy, like, the little, like, blue, like, uh, the tabs. Yeah. They still make those? They still make that. Well, you know what? They probably have been all recalled. I get them at the dollar store.

Oh. Because it's like, I can't chew the gum because I don't know how. And I don't like to have like a big like a lifesaver cert. They still make certs. Oh. Lifesaver. I don't like to have like the big like the big thing in my mouth while I'm talking. But like the best thing is like the little strip.

I, um, they're a little too powerful for me. Too powerful. Too powerful. Like, like, Yeah, forget it. Yeah, I remember, like, going to, again, I'm kind of like you. I'm, like, very conscious of, like, how I smell and, like, what my breath smells like, but there's always, like, in the summertime, if I'm at, like, a festival or something,

and I'm not normally a beer drinker, but, like, at a festival or a concert, like, I will drink a beer because I feel like I got to fit in. And it never fails, like, when in Rome, and it's clearly an IPA. and IPAs leave you like and it's always like I'll run into somebody and they're like Brian I always I'm like you think I'm awkward now I am the most awkward

because it's like I know my breath stink and if I know it stinks I try to do like the hand over the mouth like hey yeah the festival could be loud too yeah yeah I don't know how do we get on this from the just from talking about

the lie the whispering I don't I don't know how we got down this ramahoe, but we're here, Robert. But on Survivors, though, and they have, like, the live tribal council and everything like that. No, nobody's ever like, like, they just like, I guess that they don't, that they don't, they don't, they're like, what I'm, who cares? And they get like so, like, like, talk about ASMR, like, some of these whisperings in the live tribal council. The breath be breath in because, and I always say this, I wasn't on Kagian that long, but two things I remember clear as day was Jeremiah and Jeffra Blan's morning breath.

They're bad breath. Like not like, but like the morning breath. Like, you know, when your first like, ugh. Yeah. You know, that's something that completely has been lost in the new era where there used to be like more rewards that would be like, you'll go to a spa. You'll wash your hair, ASMR, you'll brush your teeth.

and that's not at all part of the show. That's gone. The sanctuary doesn't have it. Sanctuary does not. Maybe like, I think that, I'm trying to remember if in any of the auctions when they brought it back, you got that. But it was the best in Survivor the Amazon that there was, it was boys versus girls is what they called it then. Now, you'd say men versus women, but they called it boys versus girls. and that the women won like a spa kit in the reward

and then I got swapped to the women's camp and I got to brush my teeth and it was incredible. I think we only had one toothbrush also. It was pretty gross. So you had to share it? Yeah. Is that bad?

I mean, I... If you were on Survivor and we only had one toothbrush, would you not brush your teeth? I would just wait. I wouldn't have a long wait anyway. So, like, I would just wait to Ponderose. I think there was probably only just one toothbrush. Wait, but, like, in the spa kit?

Or you're saying, like, they gave you a toothbrush out there? No, it was in the spot kit. I think it was like, you know, like a lufa, and there was, like, soap, and there was toothpaste. And I don't think they gave them, like, eight toothbrushes. But, yeah, it was great. I think I probably only did it, like, once or twice. It was phenomenal, though. Then you just passed it on.

Yeah. Now, Bryce might say that I am the answer to this question after that story, but of course, Bryce, everybody is dying to know who from Survivor 49 is the freakiest freak. man It doesn't have to be a I'm up Let's get me all week It doesn't have to be neat You have to be neat

You've been so busy touring Are you producing any new music Do you have any plans for a new album I don't know about a new album but I was in the studio last weekend, so new music is coming. Survivor 50 is going to be for new music, maybe. Yeah. You know, I was on Ben Katzman album.

You know, Trashy Annie has been touring with Bryce in a win. Yes, Trashy Annie, too, is like part of the tour. She is amazing and phenomenal. And shout out to Trashy Annie, because I feel like, class acts love trashy Annie and just as a fan of her like I'm not necessarily like a rock music y'all know me I'm an R&B girlie but it's been amazing to watch like Annie just recently got into music during COVID and kind of just started really pursuing it and so it was like so fun she's been on maybe like 10 of our stops with us and to watch her from like the first stop till now

I feel like I'm an A&R at a record label because like to watch Annie, not that like we have anything to do with it, but like seeing her in different markets and seeing her kind of like critique her craft, it's really amazing because let me tell you, and Baltimore, Annie shut the house down. Literally, right? Literally. I mean, literally, she blew the sockets. The lights went out for like 15 minutes.

And so, you know, me and Annie got a little number that we do. but you perform with trashy annie i'm a music artist robert why would i not perform with somebody that's here i didn't think about that yeah yes what song is it an original song it's it's a cover yes you you robert you got a you got to you got to get from north carolina and come and see but no we do uh meredith brooks yes i'm a b word i'm a lover i'm a child i'm a mother i'm a sinner Rum sight. Yes. You know, of all the tour stops,

how come the B&W has never stopped in North Carolina? Season 50, in the hands of the fans. The hands of the fans, yeah. But no, it's actually really on our list because, like, well, you probably would be more likely to do Charlotte than Raleigh.

Well, I would want to do Raleigh only because I had, like, roots in Raleigh. My brother went to college in Raleigh. Yes. Okay. So, yeah. You still have to come here and take a bath. And I hope.

I'll get my breath strips ready. I hope you know, Robert, when I do come to Casa Day Cesternino, I'm so serious. I tell Nicole all the time when I text her and she says, oh, well, I have it right. Robert, I'm so serious. Like, I don't think you're, I don't think you think I'm serious. Robert, I'm going to be an. bathroom for about two hours yeah so you'll be visiting with us and then you'll say okay i need to go retire to uh the master bathroom for i'll be i don't know if i'm going for a soak i don't know if i'll

even really give you all of that me and dominic will be listening to asmr for a second on the couch and then y'all be like where is like but i'm so serious robert okay you need a bath bob or do you come in with your own? Robert, I come in with my own. Yeah. I'm going to have my bath bomb. I'm going to have my salt, my bubble bath, and I'm going to bring my tripod.

Well, only not for that, but I will have to take a little photo of me in the bubbles because I've got to put it on my Zaddy calendar. Like, you know, I love me a bad. It could be in the calendar. Yes. Okay. So I'm just saying, but I'm just reminding you that I'm so serious.

Okay. Brush, you're only here for 20 minutes. minutes. Fifteen of those minutes, I'll be in the tub. Okay. All right. But Bryce, who from Survivor 49 is the freakiest freak? So it the freakiest frog. It's been a hard decision. It's been hard. Obviously, whenever we go into a season and we do, it's a look. I'm always considering and then the episode, the season lends it to us. But I think it's pretty obvious. You know, at first I was thinking maybe is it RZo?

Is it R-I-Z God or R-I-Z-O-God? Is it Sophie B? For a while in my head, I was thinking maybe it could be Jake. Yeah. But then I had to- Sophie B does sometimes have, like on the episodes isn't really that freaky, but then has some freaky tweets. She'd be popping off.

Well, her tweets and the TikToks. But I think it is safe to say that this season's freakyest freak is, if you have a jar of blackheads in your home, I think it is just safe to say Sage is being crowned the freakyest freak. We love Sage. You have to be the freakiest fleek

when your eyebrows been on fleek all season. so we have to show love to Queen Sage and in my opinion she's the dark course of the season there is a world where I could see Sage taking it home you don't need to light it she just going to take it home

yeah I think that's a good pick she's been a funny character Sage yeah yeah she's fun she's interested she beats to her own drum and I love it and that's my freakiest freak Yeah. I had seen that you saw Shannon at different times in your tour. And Sage and Shannon didn't get along. What's Shannon like in real life? Shannon Mayfair? I am not. I did you have her last name in front of me?

Shannon from this season. Not Shannon Gus. Yeah. Shannon is like, so I've probably known Shannon for five years now. Five years. Yes. From going to the greatest bar? From going to the greatest bar. When we first went there, like, we met Shannon and her family and, like, we did a podcast with her. So, Shannon is, like, Shannon is cool. I think over the year, she's, like, evolved into, like, a new version of Shannon. But Shannon's, like, pretty chill, vibey.

Like, you know, she's, like, you know, like, yeah, I like Shannon. Yeah. Do you feel like that she got a raw deal in the Sage versus Shannon back and forth? I don't think so. I mean, listen, I love Shannon. Well, what I said to Shannon was that I'm sure I bet it was hard for you because it was like we saw the story from Sage's point of view. Like it wasn't a story that was told from Shannon's point of view about. like what it was like primarily like the we the audience got to see things from you know sage's lens

I felt like we got to see it from both lens I felt like and again I love my girl Shannon and she was and Shannon absolutely was out there playing the game yeah it was coded in like you know peace love and yoga and I think you know she thought she miscalculated the savage Savannah not Savannah That's the savage sage. And so I, and in that situation, I feel like Sage was the underdog. And so I'm always going to root for the underdog. So, no, I mean, Sage served that revenge hot. You know, like I get, like, that's why I like Sage.

Sage likes to serve revenge hot. Stop waiting for it to be cold. Serve it now. Because I like to do it on my work emails. Okay. I love a little passive aggressive work. I'm a do do do. Excuse me.

Yeah. We want it now. We'll come. We'll pick it up. Serve it hot, then serve it cold, but I'm very big one. Let me match your energy. Speaking of serving it hot, they had a reward. They had spaghetti reward this week. Spaghetti with meatballs, Jeff said. Spaghetti with pesto. Garlic bread. Tierra Missou. I'm good on that. You're good? What?

No spaghetti? I like spaghetti, but like when I'm starving, I'll survive it. I'll pass on spaghetti. Wow. You're like a steak. You're like Scretty with the fruit. That's for the basic people, chap. I'm sorry.

No. They did have meatballs. What about meatballs? I mean, I would have just, give me. me a plate of meatballs. Yeah. Not you, is it just you would, uh, eat spaghetti in real life? It's not even that. It's just like, for me, spaghetti isn't a dish that like, I long for. Yeah. Even though it's good and I'll eat it. Like, you know, for me, like a hamburger. Like, even now, this might sound crazy. Like, I even get the allure when they say like peanut

butter and jelly. Like, there's something about that for, and maybe because I came, I come from like a black household robber and like the Italians do spaghetti but like a black mom spaghetti the thing for me with that and maybe this is like my post trauma right my mom would make a pot of spaghetti and we would eat it for two weeks yeah we would eat it until it was gone and like I think for me that's why I'm like it wasn't like a delicacy of it was just something that was cheap to make Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I'm like, girl, it's two weeks. My mom's like, you're going to eat it.

Okay. Yeah. What about, though, for the Zaddy calendar, okay? What about a lady in the tramp picture of maybe it's you and maybe it's Ozzy? Oh. And you're sharing a spaghetti. I like that. I think that we could work something out even in this.

years Zaddy calendar 2026. Not lady in the tramp, but we got baby Andy with the that's true.

Yeah, the Operation Italy, right? Yeah, Operation Italy. Yeah, Kiss the cook, right?

Does it say that? Something I had that apron on. Yeah. So we got a little bit of that. You know, baby Andy is serving it.

He is. And in the reward though, Stephen and Chris seems to say, okay, I'm going to pick my girl, Christina,

she played the idol on me. Okay, that was easy. But then he said, okay, you know what, Rizzo, he has an eating.

I'm going to pick Rizzo to go on the reward. And everybody said, well, you got to pick Rizzo. He didn't eat for seven days. Would you pick the person who didn't eat for seven days to go on the reward? Not necessarily. No. I mean, I think, and we have it, I feel like I remember in Survivor, maybe when it was a little longer, we used to get more of these. Yeah.

Somebody will get a challenge and you would pick people. You would like, you know. Well, they have more reward challenges. Right. And so I missed those days. And so for me, we politic it. Like, obviously, I'm going to pick one of my good goods. But my other move is, I don't care if you ate or not.

Well, one, it depends. It depends if you ate or not. And we're working together. And we're at odds. Because if we're at odds, revenge is being served hot. Okay, you're not going to eat today. But it's more of a political move. But so I think seeing Stephen and Rizzo talk this episode,

I think it was a very smart decision to pick Rizzo. Because it's like, you know, you want to pull somebody in that you're not working with. But it's Survivor. You ain't come out here to eat. Do you think it was more that he wanted to talk to him, but that made it look like, oh, he hasn't eaten in seven days. Come on. I think a little bit of both.

I think, you know, Stephen is a good guy. And he clocks Stephen. when uh wait because he go on the yeah he went he went on the reward or the the journey already right yeah he he clocked stephen uh and so i think it was you know strategic and emotional yeah now with rizzo and stephen last week we saw them with joan they started a boy band called three boys on a bench i know you are a musical artist you're performing with trashy annie you're on ben catsman's new album what do you think about three boys on a bench i like it don't even need to be a band rob but okay i'll take three boys on a bench i like it

you know we are in the era where we're missing our our pop stars our r and b groups so i'm here for it yeah are there no new boy bands has k-pop really has k-pop really just taking all the boy bands and girl bands and the demon hunters? Has taken over and my nieces was telling me like in K-pop, you have like the lead singer, you have the face, like they've got roles in the group.

Like I, like, I just was so confused. But yeah, we need some like, in sync, some Backstreet Boys, some Drew Hill, some B2K. Like, where are the pop stars? Where are the pop? Like, where's the era? we used to run to the mall and scream their names. Yeah.

We'll do that for three boys on a bench. Well, maybe in season 50, will you have three boys on a bench perform? Will they open for Trashy Annie in season 50 on the Bryce and Wendell tour? I think we could arrange it. I've performed with Stephen and Annie as well in Denver, Colorado. Yeah. And Stephen could get down. What about in the offseason?

What about if there was a Bryce and Wendell Tour, a concert, okay? And so now it's the offseason. We're going to hit Nashville. Okay. It's Nashville. Come out and see Trashy Annie with Stephen Ram, Ben Katzman with Coach Wade, three boys on a bench. Bryce is going to drop his new track. And headliner Chase Rice. wait yes who is chase right who's chase rice who's chase rice very great chase rice he was with fabio oh okay yeah listen that there is something there to that robber i like that i like where you're going yeah we could get um what was uh his name from Wendell season, uh, Chris,

Chris Noble. We can get Chris Noble out there. Yeah. And then Wendell come out and be like, put the mic down, stop rapping. Everybody go nuts. Yeah, we got a star to me can perform. My enemies are plotting.

My enemies are plotting. Yeah. Robert. This is good. You might be on to something there. Yeah. And then put the CD out. well nice going unc don't call it a CD we're streaming it

we're streaming it OG but again we can even do a holiday CD this is what I'm talking about I miss the days if the artist used to do holiday CD yeah a holiday what would be the Survivor holiday song

can we think can we think of what it would be and we won't use AI to do it because is there anything about Survivor that gives holidays? Yeah, it's, you know, deck the idols.

Is there anything around? I got nothing for you. Was there anything? Like, I wanted to get you a present, but I got nothing for you. They took my flint. Because, you know, most, why I love holiday songs, rapper, most holiday songs are sad.

Right? Like, so it's like, I got nothing for you. Like, you voted me out. That could be a holiday song, no. You voted me out of Christmas. That's what I'm saying. A lot of these songs are like, why did you leave me on Christmas? Or like, what are you doing New Year's Eve? What are you doing on the merge?

Yeah. There's something there, Robert. Yeah. We might need a holiday wand off. Holiday wand off. I just think, I feel like there's something there of like, okay, so it's something about being, I got voted out on Christmas. Yes.

Yes. Now, traditionally, they don't play Survivor over the holidays, although in Survivor the Amazon, I think I lost Survivor, who was like December, like 30. It was December. We were pretty far into the Advent calendar at the, like, when we shot Survivor the Amazon. So we were pretty deep into it. But Boston Rob's birthday is Christmas also. Oh. I didn't get it. So, I got voted out on Christmas. 26 days of Christmas. Santa bring me an idol. The lonely Christmas at Ponderosa. Christmas at Ponderosa.

You know, that's maybe reheating Chris Noble's nachos. There's a terrible lotter. Christmas at Ponderosa, you better not be naughty. You better not talk. Jeffrey. The Red Nosed Reindeer. It's about, oh, you've got Jeff. How's Jeff like Santa Claus?

Let's see. Jeff is like Santa Claus because he's watching you. He knows if you've been good or bad. He sees you when you're sleeping. He's checking it twice. What about season 51, the Survivor naughty versus nice? Okay, he's nice. We're the nice people.

And then we're the naughty people. We're getting tattoos and going to trashy anti-concerts. We just got done hanging out with Chappelle. We're here on the naughty tribe. Listen, and next thing you know, Robert. We're in the hands of the only fans. We're naughty. Nottie versus nice is good.

I like that. Underneath the coconut tree. The coconut tree. Like, you know, mistletoe, coconut tree? This is not bad. You know, we did do once in a time. We did do a holiday one. It was like all holiday songs for the wand off.

I think that that was maybe after, maybe it was like season 30, 35. I think it was like, maybe like the first year of the wand off that we did the holiday music wand off. You better watch out though, because, you know, next Christmas, you know, CBS. They're going to have a holiday CD. And Rupert going to be. Well, you know, they did the holiday Big Brother. They did reindeer games.

Yeah. I kind of, yeah. C.B. Survivor should do something like a holiday-esque like that. I think that that, we want to something, okay? We're making a little Survivor Advent calendar. Like, oh holy. The issue is I think that Survivor ends so close to the, but I wonder if they, like, started,

they'd have to, this is what they could do is that, and I know, then they have Big Brother on, but, like, start Big Brother earlier. This is, I'm going to fix all of CBS. Okay. So start Big Brother a couple weeks earlier, okay? And Big Brother in, like, the middle of September. Instead of starting Survivor at the end of December,

or the end of September, started like the middle of September. And now, and Survivor finale is like December 4th or something like that, like the first week of December. And then we have this holiday survive, like the like it's 12 days it's okay uh oh watch out jeremy uh it's 12 days watch our two-time winner okay we're gonna have a one a 1.25 time winner here on our 12 days of survivor this is exciting ah and like the tree mails like on the first day of survivor

Jeffrey gave to me gave star to me Two hidden idols On the third day A survivor Jeffrey gave to me No rise for you Three French hen

That's what they get That's the reward They get the reward Three French hens And then Alex and Stephen are like I can't kill them I can't kill a French hen Are you kidding me

My conscience I'm not going to get anything good and nice tribe and the naughty tribe it's basically like heroes versus villains the nice tribe and the naughty tribe you bring back returning players for this this is brilliant we are on the some yeah Robbie Robbie see you the 12 day season they could just shoot with returning players like even if Survivor 51 and 52 and we talk a lot about Survivor 51 and 52 But like, okay, Survivor 51 and 52 are regular player seasons, but we also shoot the 12 days of Survivor for December. And like we air it's like on five nights a week in December.

Might throw off the whole CBS lineup, but we'll figure it out. That could work. Yeah. The 12 days of Survivor, this is great. Noddy versus Nice. I'm here for it. I've been good this year. I'm ready to play.

Like, um... Would Jeffrey be in like an elf suit or like a set or we... Yeah, he would be... He likes to, like, do voices and play characters. Like, even, like, garlic bread. Like, he wants to get into them. This is an Emmy win. That's an Emmy winning holiday program that they want their Emmy.

Yeah, best holiday performance. Yeah. And then, like, tribal council have, like, all. Christmas stuff the trees and everything little performance tree mail they can end it with like a Mariah Carey come in

yeah like the the tree mail can be like Christmas cards and everything and it's like you know the holiday on the island this is inspired yeah this would be great yeah the rewards be like

cookies and milk and carrots for the reindeer And then it's like Who ate it? But again It can be live too Like during those 12 days Like actually because that's the one thing about survival I don't know if you could do Survivor

Like I don't know how they could put it together That quickly live Tell them to call us we can figure it out right We'll figure it out okay All right I got another name for you in the Secret Santa Okay. Okay.

All right. Christina. Oh, Christina is easy. And this way is like, for Christina, I would just go on Facebook and find a old photo of her or her mom, another, get a frame from a family dollar. This is thoughtful. Really nice. And like give it to Christina. That, like that easy, peasy, she would love it.

Yeah. And that's a thoughtful one. That is thoughtful. Rob, I'm really good at gifts. You are really good at that. I would, like, never think of that. sometimes gifts

what I've learned in my short time on this earth is really like the meaningful gifts it's like

and just rap them really well because you know I'm an expert rapper yes well I've gotten a Zaddy calendar

yeah I know tell me about you you guys went to the Sixers game a couple of weeks ago what was that like

they had a survivor night we had a Survivor Night at the Sixers. It was amazing. Shout out to the Philadelphia Sixers and Tyrese Maxie. Tyrese Maxie and Jared McCain hit me up and was like, you know, Jared McCain is a survivor fan. And so he hit me up in a group text and was like, pull up.

He was like, Jared, stop it, you know. But no, the Sixers had reached out. And so they wanted to do it, a Bryson Win Survivor Night. And it was like really amazing to be in our own city. And Scott probably say his name, Yerger, who does like the challenge. Yeah. Like he had connected us and was like, I really, he's been saying we should do it for a while. And he had connected us and they actually reached out.

And so it was great. And so just for us, it was really great in the sense of bringing like the survivor OGs, the Survivor. I saw some OGs. Yeah, I saw some OGs. Like Russell Swan. Yeah. Jervis and Ramona and having like Kyle Riz God

Brandon Donlin Sierra Mariah it was like really great of just like just something super super fun and of course like we've been trusting the process with the Sixers and we haven't been that bad this season but of course the Orlando blows us out which took

kind of the fun out of the night because it was a bad game at the halftime Robert it was like 27 and 103 We was like, all right, y'all. Thanks. But it was such a cool, fun, like, Survivor, not explosion, but corrosion, not corrosion, but.

Corrosion. Emersion. Yeah. It looked pretty cool. And it seems like that they made a really big deal. I saw everybody was out on the court. And then what is it? They had, like, captains.

They had captains. They wanted Wendell and myself to be captains. but with Jervis from season one and Rizzo from the current season I thought like forget us like let's do something old and new so it's really great but the funny thing about it is Rizzo why I love Rizzo is like

yeah he's R I Z GOD but I've been saying this the whole time there's Rizzo and then there's Riz and Riz was at the Sixers game you couldn't tell me Riz was He was so excited. We got on the floor to take our photos.

The one rule they said was like, don't touch nothing and just like wait for them to call us to move forward. While we're waiting, Riz is like, there's a basketball price. I was like, you should go, you should go take it and bounce it. And mind you, I'm just getting to no Riz. I know Riz was really crazy. Riz was like, really? I'm like, yeah. Next thing I know, Riz is like dribbling the ball on the court.

I was like, the way I moved away from Riz so fast. But yeah, so they did the captains. Did he get yelled at to you get in trouble? I mean, the lady was coming, but no. Yeah. He said, I'm R-I-Z-G-O-D, ma'am. She said, my bad, sir. Mm-hmm.

But no, it was just like he took the bait, but it was great. And then he was with Tyrese maxi. He just was fag-girling out. And it was so good to see Jervis where you forget, like, during season one, They had like 72 million people watching. And so Jervis has been on like David Letterman. Jervis has been like, and so it's interesting when you see Jervis in those moments where me, I get nervous.

I'm like, oh my God. They called him Jervis Never Nervis Peterson. Okay. He got up there. He was talking smack. It was like the Hollywood. That's what he does. It was just so crazy to see and to see him with Rizzo was such a special moment.

And so, you know, we are looking to do. that more so we will you know keep you post i'm trying to get the charlotte hornets to call us i've emailed them since yes um because i need to be the team cap i need to i need to i need to be the team captain with lamello ball okay well let me know when you go down there i'll meet you there okay yeah um let me see what what else uh from the world of survivor I thought outside of Joanne's turtleneck, the jury I know it's been a lot of talk of like before

Saghetti got there. Yeah. And there was a lot of talk of that. But outside of them being four black members of jewelry, I thought each time somebody came out, they looked in amazing. Nate shaved all his hair off, had a baby face.

MC popped out like she was on a music video. Yeah. Alex looked at great, Joa. Like, I'm loving the glow-up of the jewelry. And people always look great, but I've been really, really enjoying seeing them. Not on the jewelry, but I love a good glow-up, love a good little your time to be fresh.

Can I ask you with the, four black players on the jury, of course, you and the sole survivors, of course, got the diversity initiative started. I mean, what do you think is, was this, did they just get unlucky with this season? Do you feel like that this is just like, this is just like, it's a start where it's just like, you know, they had the one black person go out and then it started like a chain reaction? It's interesting. One, you know,

Survivor players, black people, black survivor players, like, we're not a monolith. So it's like, it's interesting to see. A part of the diversity initiative was prior to the new era, right, we would only have one or two people of color. And so like, if you were seen talking, you guys are working together, right? And so, like, a part of the diversity initiative was,

so that you can go out there and play your own game, right? Like, so we're not saying that anything is malicious going on that there are four black people on the jury. My big take on it was that, like, it's interesting, we notice it and, like, we should be talking about it. And, like, you know, Joanne put some of those people on the jury, right? And, like, again, we want him to play his own game. But it was kind of like the fact that no one was saying anything.

about it and the sense of like it's like okay yeah it is interesting and there are some things that people could quantify it too but for me it's like we should talk about it we should have the conversation or just at least the observation that it does seem a bit odd um yeah i haven't known what to say about it like i like i totally get from like the viewers that are that see it and like I don't feel good. Like, this is, like, I'm, you know, this is, this is kind of a bummer, but it's hard to, like, well, but who are we mad at? Like, what, who's, like, who's, like, what, what happened?

And I think that's been the harder part to sort of, like, you know, have a, like, a take on, like, how did we get here? Right. And it's, like, not to say in this particular instance that anyone's at fault, right? But it is just something that is happening back to back. And we've seen this again in the new era. It's weird. Time and time again. Yeah. And so, you know, some people think and I've seen think tinks and like I've seen some people say like in the new era, people don't want to sit next to black people with the diversity initiative. Right. And so it's like just different like, I'm not saying

this. What I'm saying. I'm just saying what people are saying. And so there are a lot of things. But again, And sometimes these patterns happen in real life. And like, because we don't talk about it or have the conversations or just even acknowledge it, it continues to happen. And so I think that it is nuance. I think that part of it is game. I think part of it is maybe biases on, you know, what's the word,

not unrelated, but like, you know, unknown biases. A lot of things could be at play. A lot of things could not be at play. But just to not say anything about it. Yeah. To me, it's like, it's weird. And then I also people say like, well, there's been plenty of seasons where they've been all white. Well, well, yeah, because the black people were voted out first.

It's only a white hat. I really, you know, I feel like that this was like very unlucky that you happen to have four black players. voted out in a row at this but I think that there's some there's something with the split tribal council where that's just like too weird where I feel like that you know um you know this you could say like okay but this was just like a this happened like you had uh you know five black players made the merge uh like was like was there some chance that this was just like um that it like like randomly happen this way but the split tribal council like I just

feel like there's there's something there and I haven't really heard like anybody like give like the quantifiable like this is why it happens but Bryce you and Wendell need to pick up the phone and tell them to stop doing the split tribal council now I'm

with you I feel like we made leaps and bounds this season where we didn't have emergatory and I was like extremely happy. But now don't do split tribal council I'm with you It'll help everything. I agree. I don't enjoy the split tribals at all.

But again, baby steps. We didn't have emergatory. And so hopefully I don't really care about 50 in that sense, right? Like for me, 51, it's interesting to see. And I mean, I'm also interested to see 51 because a lot has been going on. And we know Paramount has said a lot. And so I'm curious to see whether or not. not they will hold to their word of what they said of the diversity initiative moving forward.

We see season 50 and it doesn't look like it meets that mark. And so I'm curious to see how it looks moving forward with 51 and a lot going on and a lot of things at play. But Survivor has always been a pioneer and I am hoping that they stay a pioneer because this is why we love to watch it. It's another secret Santa. Oh, wait, Holder. You have another, you got another secret Santa.

Okay. Stephen, what are you going to get for Stephen? This is a couple of things. Again, first of all, five below. Is y'all sponsoring this secret Santa? Because I'm getting Stephen some alien pajamas. Yeah. And I'm going to get him some binoculars to look at the stars.

Wow. Can you get pajamas at the five below? They'd be having them sometimes? My kids, they love five. You can't get them out of five below. It's the best thing ever, but also, like the economy and everything else. Why y'all got a $7.99, $9.99 in the $12.99 section. I go in the dollar store.

It's like, oh, these are the things of the $5, the $10. Like, wait, what are we lost the plot? And it's like $1.50 now. it's like the dollar 50 store it was a dollar 35 then it's a dollar 50 like dollar tree you might just need to change your name to tree or something because the gripes that I had again this makes me this makes us sound like ohks Rob yeah in my day but that I know it's a dollar dollar tree uh or tree now that they have here um but it's it's it's much better than when I was in California goes to the 99 cent store

but the dollar when you come here we'll go to dollar tree it's nice I love is it like the supermarket one no it's not supermarket that's like dollar general Robert over here on this side our dollar trees we have like a frozen it's like a supermarket

I don't think they have any frozen like refrigerators dollar tree that I've seen over here Dollar General has that stuff but it's not a dollar general is like it's you know very very in quotes like it's a that things don't cost a dollar a dollar general yeah what do you do on the weekends after you have your busy uh week robert i i go into a cook well you podcast about the amazing race i podcast about the may i get my podcasts out you know my premonitions my casualties my

amazing race but like this tour it's been beating the baby boy down uh so i've been just recuperating sleeping uh i actually been getting foot massages they have like this really good foot massage place uh it is at good for you best it's like $30 for an hour oh wow and i got you can't get much for $30 for an hour listen and that's what and i got my little punch card I'm like two more punches away and I get a free foot massage. Yeah. I love it. So just, you know, a little R&R, just take care of myself.

I don't know how you do it because you do the tour, you have a full-time job, you do all the podcasts. And then you're also like a good friend to people. Like you are like, you know, socialize. It's incredible. Yeah. It's a lot. Sometimes, Rob, but the baby boy is definitely. Do you sleep?

I try to. I try, but that's why I get my hair washed with my ASMR that helps me put to sleep. But the baby boy is tired, Rob. I can't lie. When they say sometimes check in on your strong friends, I'm that friend that you should check in on because it can be draining sometimes. And I feel like yesterday, I got back from Baltimore, a quarter podcast. You didn't even remember where you were. I didn't.

Right. What city was I in? Baltimore. I had to drive, so it was great because I left Baltimore at five to get back at seven so that I could work. And I got done

and I was just like, huh. And then the family group chat was group chatting and they were trying to figure I weren't putting a Christmas tree up. And I'm like, but I am looking forward

to the holidays to spend with my family and just recharge and get ready for 50. Okay. All right. Hold on. Here, one more thing. I want to go over here with you. Okay. I know a lot of people wanted me to bring up with you that I know that I recently disappointed you. Oh, robber. My cast photo for the traders came out.

Thumb homicide, Robert, the spit in my face for the decade we've been podcasting, Robert. Well, what's this? I got to add for, hold on, I'm going to look at an ad for what popped up. I've ever been to the Traders Wiki. Here's my page on the Traders Wiki. Not a lot of info. Yeah. but they

I don't want to hear it All you have to do is say sorry Because you're trying to text me To forewarn me Which I knew some BS was coming Do you remember when you text me He said Bryce We took a million photos

I don't have to throw away I have sympathy for the players now Because they took like a hundred pictures Maybe more will come out What if more come out I don't have a thumb And if they're and Robert and you probably don't even know

because I blocked you the day me and poop recorded a podcast. I did. And you text me the next day. I had just unblocked you. So don't give me to, Robert, just take accountability.

I'll take accountability, but I thought they were going to be good because they're, I mean, they're very good at what they do. And they were like, oh my God, you're killing it. You're doing great. This is amazing.

This is fantastic. You're like, yes, yes. This is a way. And I'm like, wow, I feel like I'm doing a good job. we were rooting for you Robert we were all rooting for you and I would and I would have been okay

the thing that hurt my feelings the most Robert Robby C is that it wasn't just one thumb yeah like you had the nerve to be twiddling two pigs in a blanket in front of our face like we don't do it's a look

when the guy was like hey do this I should have been like you know hey my friend my friend says I'm not allowed to do that I'm sorry I can't. Why not? My friend has a thing. What's your friend? I can't see my gas robber. But nevertheless. Nevertheless, I still will support you, Robert.

Thank you. I appreciate it. In fairness to me, also, I think I had been up for like 36 hours, I think also at the time that they did that. You got a lot of excuses. Robert, would you offer an apology? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Thank you. 10 years, a decade.

And you're going to give us two thumbs, two pigs in a blanket in front of our face, twiddling them. 10.98, 7, 6, 5, 4. 3, 2, 1. Bryce, incredible job today. We covered everything. Listen, we covered it all, Robert.

Yeah. We covered it all. It's good talking to you. I miss you. It's been a while. Yeah. What are you watching these days? What am I watching?

Oh, Landman, season two and one. It's pretty good with, I don't know why I can't say his name. It's not Stephen Tarantino. Who was Angelina Jolie's first husband? Bobby Bob Thornton. Billy Bob Thornton. Billy Bob Thornton. Yeah.

What are you calling first? Bobby Tarantino Also He's good and bad Santa He is I actually just watch And I've been meeting the Tech Chappelle The Diddy Documentary

Oh Nicole was watching it She's like I knew he killed Tupac I knew it I knew it Nicole ain't never lie She's like I tie I've been telling people for 30 years he killed

Tupac. Oh, Rob, I've been needing someone to text about this. I'm texting the first lady. Uh, because listen, here's the thing. And then I'll let you go. Right. I was a little uneasy about if I wanted to watch it because we know 50 cents and Sean Puffy Combs have this

feud. And so like, they don't like each other. And so when I saw that 50 cents was producing the documentary, I'm like, uh, I don't want to watch it. Because you know when you watch a documentary, right? You want it to be somewhat unbiased, right? Like, you know, we want a tiger king. We want the raw, we want the real, right? Let us decipher.

And so I was a little hesitant about watching it. But I have to say, Curtis 50 Cent Jackson did an excellent job in this documentary of, I mean, he paints a picture. Yeah. But I do feel like, don't judge me here, right? where I feel like two things can be true at the same time, right? Because a part of P. Diddy's story, I don't want to use the word inspirational, but it's like his rise to fame is interesting, right? And so like that just alone is interesting.

And so the documentary did such a good job of like telling the story that I was shocked about. And like Nicole said, when you get to 50 shit and Biggie, I was like, And the thing, I'm calm down because now you got me going, Rob. The thing, and this is, the first lady will agree, right? Like, it's always been like this, like, mystery around it.

And not even so much mystery, but, like, just not facts. The facts, the facts that in this documentary, they don't really point fingers, they paint a picture. And, like, they have facts. Where have these facts been

for the last 20 years? Like, the documentary is just really good at painting a picture so if y'all have not seen it i would recommend it and y'all that's something y'all should do on but netflix yeah okay all right i well nicole watched it without me so i got to figure out uh that she started watching and then dominic was coming in and she's like mom you're watching a show about ditty the kids they love to talk about ditty and drake they love to talk about that um and they're like oh like will you watch your mom are you should you be watching a show about Did he? The didler?

I don't know why they know so much about it. Like 6-7, the didler. That's 6-7. Yeah. But what the last thing I was- And they talk about lamello ball. Listen, as they should. Shout out to my man La Mello Ball.

My kid's like, we need a La Mello Ball jersey. Shout out to the lamella ball at Puma who would be sending me my lamella ball stuff. Wow. Love them. Um, the last thing I'll say about this documentary, uh, if Dominic or Anthony wanted to meet Lamella Ball, I could, you know, I could just, you got it right there. Okay. The last thing I say about the documentary that I'll let you go, Robert, is that it feels like a true crime move. It just,

it was not what I was expecting. And I breathed through those four episodes. Yeah. Wow. Um, all right. The baby boy, Bryce is a, uh, purple. Pants podcast, Bryson Wend, Tour 49, the blueprint, the zaddy calendar. What else? The sleep. The sleep. Yeah, just the Purple Pants podcast. The Pitsop. With Brooke, we're covering that. We're working on trying to get a little amazing race reunion together. So make sure you stay tuned at the Purple Pants podcast for that exclusive amazing race content that I think is great. But yeah, just happy holidays, everybody. Happy Hanukkah, happy Kwanza.

And check in on your friends. Everyone that's listening, the holidays sometimes can be a very hard time for people that have lost loved ones that are far away. And it doesn't hurt to just send somebody a text, send somebody a call. Or like Robert, send them an audio note. Just saying, hey, thinking of you, it could go a long way to somebody that you don't know. Because sometimes people struggle in silence. And the holidays are all about being cheery.

But sometimes it's the darkest time for people. So be a good friend and check in on somebody that you haven't text or talked to in like the last two months. I think that that is how we should end off on. Check in on your friends. Beautiful. All right. Thank you so much, Bryce. Incredible conversation tonight.

I hope you all enjoyed it. And this was such a fun ride to go on here with you. Stay out of the park. Okay. All right. All right. Take care, everybody. Have a good one.

Bye. You know.
