Club Condo is back, baby. And we're here to talk. We had a great production meeting before the podcast. Had a lot to say. And now we're ready to do the podcast. Okay, we're back here. Chappelle, how you doing, man? Not great.

Not great Not great Rob Is it dark in here y'all? Anybody just like god dang You know, man, really was looking forward to this Now I don't know I don't know, it's been a tough week Rob How have you been? Doing okay, excited to talk to you

Maybe commiserate a little bit Here today Everybody pretty bummed out uh that asia went out this week also uh i am officially eliminated from the draft also to make things worse i'll take solace in that you know i like it's all like it's all i have at this point i mean dang this is this was like uh this is the worst case scenario for me, man. You know, I'm trying to find the silver lining in this week, but I just can't. My girl, my queen, she's fallen and, uh, I'm in mourning. It's, it's been tough.

It's been tough. Uh, but, but listen, we're here on club. Kind of like you said, it's commiserate, but also to support each other. We're in mourning right now, the loss of Sari Jr., a.k.a. Asia Welsh. Ambrose says, Chappelle said, cancel Christmas for real. Thank you, Council.

Yeah, what is Christmas? What is that? What is that? There's no, what? Christmas? For what? Yeah, not for me. Not for me. I really was coming on here, but y'all still watch this show? Y'all watch Survivor? This show's still on? It's crazy.

Yeah. All right. Well, the show must go on, and of course we're sad to see Asia go, and we still got an episode of Survivor to talk about. Is there anything we could do to help you out? I don't know, man.

Let me just say, let me just say. To Asia, you know, the third boot in this season, in the Bryce Isaiah spot, in the Rob Sestanino spot, it happens. It happens. Don't you correct me, Rob. You know what I'm doing here. Rob, it happens.

You could be a great personality, a great strategist, a great player, and sometimes luck's just not in your favor. This time, it doesn't look like the ball was going to bounce in Asia's court and she was going to take it and dunk it like I knew she could. Yeah. She fell short, but I'm so proud. I'm so proud to call Asia my friend. I think she had a great showing.

If you got to go out third, this is how you want to go out, okay? Swingin', you know, like, she even had, like, a Michaela-esque exit, you know, where she's like, what? Y'all too? Huh? Y'all did this? Saul, was it you? You know, you know, I was like, alright, alright. You see that competitive edge come out, like,

even on her exit, I'm still like, this lady's an icon. She's so great. Thank you, Asia. Can't wait to see you on Survivor 50. Okay. Chappelle, do you want to talk about the vote? You haven't had a chance to talk about the episode at all. Yeah. I mean, the show could have really simplified this by just saying like, and I think they say it in a lot of ways, but then they distract us with the smoke and mirrors, but Teenie,

Kashawn, they wanted to work with Roman Genevieve. I mean, it's very cut and dry, you know, like we were given like the little glimmers of hope like, yeah, well, what if we went in the other direction, this, that, and other, but based on their actions and what we saw, and even their words, they were always leaning toward going with Rome and Genevieve.

There was just glimmers of hope. The show really bread crumbed us into thinking, well, if there's a shot, let's talk about it. I think Asia laid out a plan that could have worked. I think if they wanted to work with Asia, it would have worked. They didn't. And we move on. Right.

I really feel like that the episode gave us like the whole last like first seven days or whatever of the game, like from Asia's perspective, for the most part. I think that's why so many of us ended up being blindsided. for the most part. I think that's why so many of us ended up being blindsided. I watched the episode again this morning to get ready to do this podcast with you. While Teenie and Keyshawn, I feel like, were certainly like a duo,

I don't know if we ever really got the sense from Keyshawn that he really wanted to. I feel like in that duo, I feel like there was a tug of war where Teenie was maybe more inclined to want to go to the Saul and Asia side. But Keisha, like, I just don't know if we ever got that from him in terms of like, like, I think that maybe like he was feeling like that, you know, OK, well, where, you know, Genevieve is our three and Rome's our four over there. And I just feel like that it was maybe too much for Teenie to, like, get Keyshawn to flip.

I mean, yeah, we don't really see their relationship with Genevieve at all. You know, they talk about having a four, but they have two fours. But we don't see anybody say, Genevieve is somebody that I really want to work with, right? And so when Asia comes in and says, hey, let's just vote out Genevieve,

maybe Kashan is thinking, I like Genevieve. I don't want to vote out Genevieve. I'm okay with Star going, but not Genevieve, you know? And so maybe, just maybe, you know, the other option wasn't looking so attractive to Kashan. It definitely didn't look like it was that attractive to Teenie even. Like I said, I know Teenie was telling us that they know Asia and that they have a connection with Asia.

But when it's time to save Asia, you know, I think if you really wanted to work with Asia, you just vote out Genevieve and move on. Or you just vote out Saul and move on. The fact that this bounced back to work on Asia, it feels like they don't want to work with Asia and Saul. And Asia's probably not as good in challenges as Saul is. So Asia got the boot. It's not that complicated, probably. But the show gave us the breadcrumbs that we needed to be invested. Rob, I think any other season, we see this coming a mile away. But because it's Asia, we're looking at it through her eyes.

The show is showing her perspective a lot of times. We want it to work so bad that we're like, yeah, the plan is right there. You can do a 2-2-2. You can do a 3-1 over here in this direction like you don't have to do these things um no i think we were just given a red herring and we fell for it uh four one out for a very red herring yeah yeah speaking of this red tribe yep i haven't had a tribe i could just root against wholeheartedly in so long. Even Saul? Not Saul. Anybody but Saul is the name of the game when it comes to the Red Tribe.

They can go one by one. I'm talking about last season we got the montage, I guess in this episode, about all the people who didn't play their idols one by one. I would love to see the Red Tribe go out like that. I will be at the end of this season eating crow if one of them goes on to win the entire season but i do

not care because survivor is way more fun when you have somebody you could root against and this cast is so likable that i need a reason and i got it and so i will be rooting against the red tribe until uh it's all said and done and i didn't draft anybody from the Red Tribe either, so that's a safe bet for me. Who was on your draft? My draft is Caroline, Sam, and who is my third person? It's probably

somebody who hasn't been shown that much. I don't remember who's my third person. It's Caroline, Sam, and oh, and Anika. So I think, yeah yeah i think right now as long as the yellow tribe doesn't go to tribal council i might be all right okay all right so all right where what do you want to talk about you want to go away from the red tribe for a little bit and then we'll come back to it okay can i breathe yeah let me breathe all right we're

gonna let chapelle breathe and uh talk about some of the other people going on. Let's talk about what's going on over at the Gata tribe. Okay? That's yellow. Yellow. The yellow tribe. The yellow tribe. This is my favorite tribe.

Okay. They're having some issues with sleeping on the bamboo. It hurts. It's bamboo. It's not the Four Seasons. It's not the Four Seasons. Yeah. Annika had an especially rough night. This is what she had to say.

I did not get more than 20 minutes of close-eyed time. She didn't get more than 20 minutes of close-eyed time. That's a very odd way to say this.

Close-eyed time is not sleep yeah i look at the dude like are we really sleeping out here are we just existing and letting it with our eyes closed i think you've played survivor you can tell me did the sun not go down for the day like why what how is the bamboo affecting close eye time you know when they say uh you gotta get you some shut eye i think that might be kind of like the same right like some shut eyes and close eye time you know when they say uh you gotta get you some shut eye i think that might be kind of like the same right like some shut eyes some closed eye time i think that might work that might work was the word sleep like uh the secret word of the day that you weren't allowed to say it yeah no look maybe or maybe look she's just being she's being real with us they're not sleeping

they're not sleeping the bamboo is hard so it's like yeah i only got to lay down with my eyes closed for a few minutes before i had to get up and actually go find something else to do anything would have me up off of that bamboo it looks so painful that i know that i would be probably searching for idols or something i just, anything to be laying on that bamboo. It looked like it hurt. It looks like it hurts, but they say that you can lay on the sand. Is there a way to build a sandbox that's off the ground so that things can't crawl on you, but you could sleep on the sand?

Is this a billion-dollar survivor invention? It is, but I feel like it would take the the budget that rob and sandra had in uh island of the idols where he made that giant tree house you know like i think that it would be something like that like some you would have to bring in a construction team uh uh counterpoint rupert had a great idea one time he said like how about you sleep underground that way you don't have to sleep on the hard soil sleep underground? That way, you don't have to sleep on the hard soil because you're not on it. You don't have to sleep on the dirt because you're in it. What about that?

Maximus Bomb says, too many crabs. Nope. Okay. Kendall calls it a litter box. I mean, that's what it essentially is. Of course, do your business elsewhere, but maybe there's something there. So, we heard that Sam has not had an open mind

when it comes to the food pyramid, Chappelle. Yeah. Is he a chicken nugget guy? Did he ever talk about what he actually eats? I think that that was established. I think all Sams are chicken nugget guys. It's a thing. It's a thing. Mac and cheese or chicken nuggets.

That's it. Anything you can eat with one of those spoons with a face on it You know like yeah Alright so they asked Sam Have you ever Tried any of these fruits I've never had pineapple But I don't think I would like it Call Kenny from Big Brother

He's never had a pineapple. Man, since I've come across Kenny and Big Brother, I have had several pineapples. I was like, something about watching Big Brother this season has really made me enjoy the pineapple. I was like, I've been going shopping, making sure I stop by, grab my pineapples first, make sure everybody sees my pineapples are on display.

Sam should try it. We found out he's engaged. I think that might do something for the marriage. Could spice things up. And we hear him make an apology to his fiancee. Maybe he could be like, honey, I've never tried a pineapple once. Never.

I've never put a pineapple in my shopping cart ever. I promise. If I have, strike me down down no pineapples over here rob when you go all my pineapples are right side up i promise babe oh that don't matter rob when you go on survivor 50 and people accuse you of being in a relationship with nicole delma how do you think the first lady of podcasting is going to react when people are like, hey, are they in a relationship? Not good. Yeah.

Could you imagine being in this Sam spot of just having to cover your ass? I really felt for Sam because he had to issue this apology. This is ridiculous. I am engaged. Hannah, babe, if you're watching this, I am not in a relationship with Sierra on Survivor. It is a strict strategic relationship. Now, I didn't think he was until he said it like that. It's like the first time he said it.

OK, fine. But we like it's a strict. I am not. I do not think I do not think he is. I'm just saying the way that the way I think he did a bad job of saying he's not. I do not think he is. I mean, what's the way that, the way I think that he did a bad job of saying he's not, I do not think he is. I mean, what's the best way

you can address this and be like, come on, come on, stop it, baby, sweetie, come on.

Like, I think regardless, yeah. What can you do? Especially when you have the other tribes saying like, you think they're in a relationship? Like,

are they a couple? You know, blah, blah, blah. It's tough. I felt bad for both Sam and Ciierra because they're both in relationships seemingly engaged as well um you know i think that they're fine i think that they're good this is tough i hate i would hate to be in this position yeah for sure um somebody in the chat says uh this was definitely not triggering for me. No, not at all. Who said that? Whitney Duncan?

Duncan? What's her name? I think Whitney Duncan's from Dancing with the Stars. Yeah, no, Whitney Duncan. Yes, yes. Well, that's actually not true. That was actually a different case. Different Whitney.

Yeah. All right. So, yes, Sam has, he has not tried a pineapple. I've never had pineapple. She felt you've had pineapple, right? Yeah, a bunch of them. Okay. Recently, for sure. But I don't think I would like it.

You'll like it. You should try it. Pineapple? Yeah. Okay. I've also not, here's a weird one. I've never had watermelon. All right.

He's never had watermelon he's never had watermelon now how do you make it to 24 and you never had watermelon is he anti fruit I know people who don't like fruit you know like I definitely know people who are like fruit is not for me is he scurvy

I don't know is that still a thing I think if you don't eat any like vitamin c yeah well maybe he's like he's like only oranges you know i'll orange everything because i i can't see a word like pineapple and melon is tough and i think he named blueberry at some point yeah he's gonna talk about raspberry yeah but but they ask it so everybody's shocked. He's never had a watermelon. Wait, you've never had watermelon? Oh my god.

Not at any point. How is that possible? Not for Sam. No. Why not? Why? So you haven't been around a lot of watermelon is what you're telling me? No. Okay, so you haven't been around a lot of watermelon? And he gets very defensive about this. So I'm around watermelon a lot. I just, like, don't eat it. And you have no desire to just see what it tastes like? Like'm around watermelon a lot i just like don't

eat it and you have no desire to just see what it tastes like barbecues and stuff i just don't eat it no i don't i don't really care yeah he's just he's around a lot of watermelon but he's not gonna eat it i don't even care no i mean like it sounds like you care i think that's the problem with sam it's like when you ask him too many questions he does sound very defensive because it does sound like he cares about this watermelon thing. She goes, so you find yourself around watermelon, but you just refuse to eat it. I see it, and I don't want it. You know, I'm at the barbecue.

I see it. I just, it's there. It's there. I leave it. It's just watermelon. I don't bother it, and it doesn't bother me. Yeah, get off my back. It's like, all right, look.

Okay, slow down. You ain't got to eat the watermelon. It's fine. You know, don't shoot. You know? Calm down, Jamal. You know? All right.

Don't pull up with a nine. So he's not going to have any watermelon, but there was one other fruit he did try once. It's about like blueberry, raspberry. I've had blueberries. I've probably had a raspberry. I don't remember it well, but I've had blueberries. I've probably had a raspberry. I don't remember it well, but I've had blueberries. I've probably had a raspberry.

Maybe. Who eats one raspberry? He didn't like it. Who eats two of something you don't like? He had a raspberry one time. He said, ew, that's gross. Nah. And he spit it out.

And then he was like, do you want another one? He's like, why would I do that? No, I don't want another raspberry it makes sense to me only one okay um what are the vegetables now we get into can we stump stamp okay with with different vegetables okay let's go through vegetables eggplant eggplant who starts with eggplant of all the vegetables that start with like have you tried eggplant? That's not the most common. Okay, let's see. Okay, eggplant.

Never had it. Zucchini. Okay. Are we doing emoji here? Oh, you think this is a bit? Were they not talking about actual vegetables here? Were they trying to get an admission out of Sam? They're like, let's see if you tried anything.

Have you ever had an eggplant, Sam? Like, no, no, I never had one. Have you ever had a zucchini? You ever had a cucumber? No, no, I never did. Look, the dick-shaped foods be the best ones. It's a fact. fact you know eggplant is delicious so is zucchini so are cucumbers

maybe have you had sweet Kenny K's sweet Italian sausage sausage yeah yeah it's fine again I think that they're asking like ask about normal ass vegetables have you had lettuce let's start at the baseline you know what I'm saying let's see what he's really they started too high there yeah

never had it never had it be sprouts all right and then we're going really off the bean sprouts i don't know if i've had bean sprouts i think so have you had have you ever had rhubarb you know i was like no no i haven't yeah I don't even know what that is. I don't know. Probably not. Broccolini. Broccoli is right there. Why are you asking about it? It's scientifically genetically altered. He's saying no

to every single basic vegetable you're coming up with. Why are you going to 401 vegetables? Right. She's going are you going to the 401 vegetables right she's gonna move over to the meat snacks and be like have you had turducken it's like okay why would you think i'm not i'm not branching out like that yeah what are you doing i don't know i don't like okay yeah no i'm good. I'm team Sam.

I'm very happy with my draft pick. I'm not feeling great about his position in the tribe, him and Annika being beefing in this episode. It got kind of tense, man. Sam in the machete was a very fun watch. Yes. Okay. We can talk about that in one second.

Let me just give you one last one. Okay. They said, Sam, have you ever had a tomato? Tomatoes. You said you don't care for. What about like an heirloom tomato? The man said he doesn't care for tomatoes. You're not going to find a different type of tomato. He's going to say, oh, actually, no.

Oh, heirloom tomato? Yeah, no, that's my jam. Oh, yeah, regular tomatoes, no. But heirloom. Heirloom tomato, that's good. Yeah, I don't know the difference between those two tomatoes. I didn't know the heirloom tomato that's good yeah i i don't know the difference between those two tomatoes do you i didn't know that i didn't know the heirloom tomato either i had to have that explained to me i had a really blonde moment one time and then i don't i actually

don't i i don't consider it a blonde moment i just didn't know rob somebody once had to explain to me uh how um you know the cheddar in the bag like why it was called sharp because i i wasn't i wasn't familiar with like flavors of cheddar so i was just like oh i learned something new today and they said well what did you think it meant and rob i had no answer i was like as opposed to dull cheddar like it doesn't can it cut you is it like this thing is pointy yeah it's finally shredded to the point where it's sharp. Like, I didn't know. So sometimes people just don't be knowing these things.

The grater itself was a different tool. I had never asked my question. Someone said, this is sharp cheddar. And I said, bet. I moved on. Then they said, hey, we got mild cheddar. I said, sounds good to me. It's not spicy.

Let's move on. You know, if you tell me I got spicy cheddar, I'm going to say, cool, good to me. It's not spicy. Let's move on. If you tell me I got spicy cheddar, I'm going to say, cool, it's cheddar. It's spicy. I know what to expect. I just hadn't thought about the sharpness. I didn't know what that meant. How was I supposed to know? Are y'all having classes for this kind of stuff?

We just had regular cheese. Sometimes we just have that. Look, I was eating Kraft and Velveeta growing up. I don't know these other these other people sharp mild tomatoes got heirlooms and stuff like that now why what are they passing down to their people to the other tomatoes why is that a thing you know so that's why i'm like i don't really know if i i'm with sam some of this stuff is confusing all All right. Let's talk about what's going on with the clothesline. Sam and Annika, it is getting tense. She has a lot of direction for him about the clothesline

and wants it to be hung a certain way. Why is Sam the only person that can make the clothesline? I feel like Annika seems like she has all the ideas. It doesn't seem like, okay, we need his, like, Sam's like a big, strong guy. Like, we need him. Like, can't anybody make the clothesline? Maybe he's just tall.

Is it that his height? I gotta believe so, because it, or it feels like Annika is really good at delegating, you know? Like, she definitely gives a vibe of like somebody who walks in, folds her arms and says, yeah, I think that needs to go over there.

Yeah, you pick that up, you put that over there. Yeah, yeah. Because you need her vision, right? She's standing there telling you, oh, that thing is crooked. It's like if you're trying to align something, right? And you're like, is this, yeah.

Is it square? Is it even? You got to tell me if it's centered. It's a little of a scoot. Right. So you would need somebody to just like shift. You see how the picture behind me just kind of like, there it is. Yeah.

You see how that goes? You need somebody to shift it. And I think she's the eyes. So you need, you know, some hands. And I think that he might be that person. He's her go-to guy for that kind of thing. But he does not like it. He does not like this at all.

He does not like it. Yeah. I thought that it was funny that she she says like okay cut the thing there and then he's like had it and he's just like hacking away at the at the thing and you know it's funny because that this is like when we go back to the the second challenge when andy had to open the bag with the knife and he was going like this. Something is going off in this tribe. It's very tense. Hide the sharp cheddar. These people don't know what to do with these sharp objects. Yeah, he was very frustrated.

And he's like, and she's like, hey, not to be a know-it-all, but we tried sawing motion. It did work instantly when she suggested that. Instantly. It's like, hey, Sam, you might be throwing a little bit of a BF in front of the entire crowd. You might want to get that one together. So it's a new year.

You know what that means, setting big goals. Maybe you promised yourself you're going to hit the gym every day, or maybe you said you're going to learn to make fire with a flint for once, or the classic save more money. But let's be honest, New Year's resolutions tend to fizzle out by February. Wouldn't it be great if at least one of those goals could be automatic? That's where Acorns comes in.

We saw last week that Gabe ends up playing his idol. And then ultimately he didn't need to, but he talked about how he just,

he saw survivor 46 and that that's really was in his head. All the people that went home with an idol. Did you like that? That survivor was talking about what happened last season. Absolutely. Absolutely. that that uh survivor was talking about what happened last season absolutely absolutely we were so mad last season because it was just like y'all every time we get something relatively like suspenseful you know we're like play the idol this could spice things up people just not playing their idols we talked about it on the podcast people tweeted about it people on facebook mad

as hell as well everybody universally, just play your idol. I think that at this point in Survivor history, it's better to just play the idol and be dead ass wrong and live to fight another day than it is to not play the idol at all. So I think he's right. And you hear Gabe in this episode saying, in the game of Survivor, and somewhere I just threw my laptop against the wall. you know? So.

I knew we were tracking that somewhere. Yeah. It happens all the time. So like baby steps, I'll take, I'll take, not play like start playing your idols. And then next season we can start to weed out some of these other like survivor phrases. I don't like. Yeah. How are you feeling about Kyle? Kyle is cool. You know, I think that Kyle is showing some strategic energy.

You know, like we kind of were led to believe he was kind of just like, oh, yeah, somebody who's willing to go with the flow, not really make any moves. But he tries his best. He goes, he talks to Gabe. Gabe's like, yeah, Kyle, I want to bring you in. And then I want to, you know, take Sue and Caroline to the end as goats. And Kyle says, I'm going to use that. I'm going to go to Sue and Caroline and tell them, this guy wants to take you to the end. You should vote him out.

And I just want him to say that again. This guy wants to take him to the end. Yeah, please. This guy wants to take them to the end. Kyle, come with me on this journey. They would love to go to the end. I'd to take them to the end kyle come with me on this journey they would love to go to the end rob if you keep playing this game like this you're gonna win this game you know it's that same energy yeah yeah oh my god uh god forbid somebody wants to take me to the end they didn't think it'd be me okay all right that's it he's gotta go

whoo never voted that guy out. So the strategic wheels were turning, but they just kind of hit a roadblock because Sue was not willing to play ball with them at all. Speaking of wheels turning, that Gabe says, you know what? I feel like that, you know, the way that Kyle, he seems so loyal. I got to get this guy in my alliance. In fact, Gabe feels so good about Kyle and just how loyal he would be to him. He tells us this.

I mean, shoot, I could probably call him that guy to be my limousine driver for the night after this game is over and he'd fly out from Michigan to Baltimore and do that for me. I could hire him to be my limousine driver and he would fly out to Baltimore and drive my...

First off, does Gabe does not have a lot of respect for the Uber and Lyft drivers of the world? No. Number one, he does not. The livery profession. If you told me that you were going gonna pay for me to fly across the country to drive your limousine for the night i'd do it yeah sure would you gonna pay for it all i

gotta do is show up and drive the limo and let you go gallivant around town and and it's all it's been paid and you also gonna give me money fine sign me up i'm kyle call me kyle because i'm getting on the plane i feel like gabe is kind of confused like limo driver and like butler like uh the guy i i could probably pay him to be my butler after i win i feel like that that's a little bit better than my limo driver and it's still a job like what exactly are you saying about kyle like kyle trusts me so much that he be employed by me. You know, I was like,

okay. Like you were telling me that you could convince him to do something that, you know, that wasn't in his best interest, but if he needs the job, go for it. You want him to be a butler. Ain't nothing wrong with being a butler.

Especially if that money talk, uh, you want a million dollars, Gabe, the least you could do is put this man on the payroll. I'll hold your umbrella. If you pay well enough, you know what I'm saying?

I can find words, Bentley this. No, we're not. It we're not it's too soon oh yeah too soon yeah i don't know he might not he might be in the mix never mind uh scratch that yeah yeah mike and leona were talking about this with jenny on the bnb this was like a very specific thing that he would probably be my limo driver yeah if I have a limo and I need somebody to drive it, I could pay Kyle to come drive it. I think he'd take the job. I was like, maybe Kyle doesn't have a lot of job prospects. Chappelle, you don't like

the driver comes with the limo. There's no situation where you rent a limo and it doesn't come with a driver. It's like, who's going to drive the limo? Rent a limo, Rob? Gabe is counting his million dollars. He's going to own a limo?

He's going to own a limo. How much is a limo? I don't know how much a limo is. I feel like a limo would be cheaper than a regular car. How much is a limousine? It's bigger, but utility-wise? How often are you driving this?

Are you going to take it to McDonald's? Let's see. How much is a limousine to own? Yeah. A limo can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000. Is it a stretch limo? I mean, can you have a not-stretch limo? I always assumed the stretch limo was just the long version of limo.

Limousine is the other version. It's like they evolved from it. You got a limo, a limousine, and then a stretch limo. know like limousine is the is the other version like it's like they evolved from you got a limo a limousine and then a stretch limo yeah okay so kyle he also uh went on the journey this was his chance to try to uh change his fate but he didn't like that he had to risk his vote and sure enough it came up that he lost his vote and he did not want to risk it again no um i don't blame him you know like you lose your vote wouldn't anybody be shell-shocked i mean it does feel like you already lost one why don't you go for it again you might get it back you know like or you might get an advantage i don't know but to me once i lose my

vote once i'm like i don't want to i don't want to touch the bag anymore i'm already kind of because it's like now you're about to make a fool out of me right i'm about to risk it money doesn't make money chapelle that's true that is true and but these people didn't even have the option to be scared because they had to risk their vote like you made they didn't have to get on the boat they didn't have to get on the boat i They didn't have to get on the boat. I definitely would. Rob, honestly, I think you talked about this with Steven, maybe, or even after the episode with Tevin. But the idea that you should go on a journey in that first day or so, I'm starting to think it's not really worth it.

The juice isn't worth the squeeze. Especially if you look at Asia's game, Asia missing a valuable day of bonding with what will eventually be the the the core for as kashan will call it in the game um and and just going and losing a challenge against tk who she can't even utilize later on because he's gone before they even link up again like it didn't it wouldn't it didn't do anything for her game. I would probably err on the side of maybe don't go on the journey if you can avoid it early on unless you're in a really good spot.

And then, okay, that place you can go and, you know, risk some things, play a little bit loosey goosey. Yeah, I didn't think that the journey hurt Asia so much per se. And she's told the story about how like it was just like everybody was just like standing around and she's a leader. You know you know somebody has to step up and take that spot

and she felt like that teeny was giving her assurances and saw was giving her assurances i don't think that the game was lost for her in the couple of hours that she was gone it wasn't like a sweat and savvy thing where she was gone the whole day so it was um a dis uh disadvantage to go and to be put in that position but i don't think it was ultimately uh a deal breaker for her and i think that she thought that okay i might be able to come back with some kind of an advantage it was interesting to put the journey here in the third episode though where that in the first episode though where that in the first episode there was a lot of like okay well it's random you know in this episode you

know okay we know i i don't want rome to go like sam was like i don't want annika to go like i'd love to see somebody just like tackle somebody eventually and just be like no no just run and jump in the boat over my dead body you're not going yeah i don't know rob because i thought about a lot about asia's position in the game and i really do think like she didn't have much to gain from going on that first uh that first uh journey you know like tk got exactly what she was supposed to get and uh it did him no favors i think that you are sacrificing time uh to build these bonds with these people and i think anytime you're away from your your your tribe is not great time early on now maybe like you know

by episode three yeah you know kind of where you stand you know who you don't want to get on the boat you know if you can get on the boat if you can risk it uh but like episode one oh hey bro i don't want to i don't ever want to be where I can't see the rest of my tribe. You're making a good point. It's just that nobody in this tribe wanted to step up. I get the impression that Jeff was like, okay, come on, all right, red tribe, we need an answer, we need an answer.

We got to go, go, go, come on. Asia's a leader, and leaders going to do what they do. And that's a point in Asia's favor, but that's also a downside. We've seen leaders before get their head chopped off because they're able to step up in those spots where nobody else wants to. I just feel like if it was me going in moving forward, seeing what I've seen now, this is after Asia, after TK, the events of this episode and these prior 40 episodes, I'm like, I don't know if our day one journey is doing anybody any favors yeah now i think it's designed to um you know not be a good thing for these players and then

uh you know somebody somebody has to do it uh you know i don't know like how they could like incentivize the players to maybe want to do it i don't know but i wouldn't want to do it after this i sure wouldn't um because this this second journey it's put your hand in the bag risk your vote and that's it like oh and you can risk it again you could lose another vote it's like i damn i what happened to the the stuff the cool stuff everybody else got i want the i want the trial supplies i'd like some fishing gear i'm out here trying to fight fighting for my life for a steal a vote that i might not get you know so it would make me very cautious about moving forward. But it worked out for Rome.

He's having a lucky run here on Survivor with being able to pull that steal a vote. All right. Rome did go on the journey. And when he got to the journey, it was revealed who got voted out from the Tuku tribe last night. They told Rome it was TK, believe it or not. TK's gone. Yes! You're kidding!

Hallelujah! You're kidding! Oh my gosh, I just couldn't stand his ego. I was not a fan of TK at all. He was just being way too cocky, way too arrogant. So that was exactly what I wanted. I wanted him out the game first, but look, I'll take the second boot.

Okay. Rome... Look, Rome doesn't like that kind of ego. Jerome. Stop it. Stop it. It's not his kind of guy. Stop it. Stop. Literally, chill. Just come on. Come on, man. Come on, man. It's okay. It's okay.

Look, there are a lot of people on Twitter rooting against Rome for the same reasons. They're saying like, Rome is too cocky. Rome is arrogant. We saw Asia say it. We see like, you know, it's going around. And so Rome knows exactly how it feels to be in the TK spot where people are like, ah, they're not feeling it. But I think it's a lot easier to see that trait in other people. You know, like he sees TK going off at the challenge, being like, I don't deal with losers. I don't like people who are OK with losing. I don't even associate with them. Like those are strong words to say in front of your tribe. And so if I'm looking on, I'm probably thinking the same thing.

Like, what do you mean? Like, we all could lose this game. We can all lose any challenge. We can all lose our vote. We can all lose. Like, everybody has the same ability to lose here. Nobody is above anybody else in that sense. And so I could see where that could rub Rome the wrong way.

But I also think that, like, Rome is watching these episodes thinking, dang, am I TK? Is it me? Am I the drama? Alright, Chappelle, I got an email question from one of our listeners. Princess Sparkle Pants wrote in. It has an email.

And I felt like that this is a question that only you are qualified to answer. Okay. And it's about Rome's sneakers. Okay. You have a picture of those? Yes, I do.

Okay. All right. Okay. So Robin Chappelle, what's up with showing brand logos on the shoe? Okay. with showing brand logos on the shoe. Okay? And so, this is, we see Rome

and his sneakers on the island. Okay? So, here's Rome, and here's his shoe. Okay? I recall Ben had to cover his John Deere tattoo on Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers,

yet Rome is repping the Nike swoosh on his Air Force Ones very prominently in this confessional pose. We remember the Reebok days, and shoe logos are probably tricky to conceal, but I was surprised to see it in the confessional. Is Rome going for an endorsement deal? More importantly, how's he going to keep them fresh on the island i mean these are good questions these

are definitely questions that i'm like i would be asking myself before i even go out there because i would be stressing about my shoes um i would be stressing this whole time you know i think window was the first person i saw where jordan's on survivor and so if this is homage to window then yeah this is this is cool but i don't think those are i don't think those air force ones those look like jordan ones those look like uh like low tops uh but uh i don't know like i definitely would be stressed about this this is this is when you buy the shoe just for the island you know what i'm saying like uh this is like hey i know i'm going on Survivor, but I need a shoe because I got to flex a little bit.

It's going to match my fit. You got to pan for it. So it's like he got his Paddington hat on. He's got his J's on. I really think that's the move. These might be forces. I can't really tell from the side. But yeah, I think that he's doing what needs to be done. I definitely didn't know that you could just do it

on Survivor. To have the Nike swoosh right there, it's pretty like, definitely didn't know that you could just you know just do it on survivor you know uh to have the nike swoosh right there it's pretty like i don't know i think maybe it's a cbs got like a partnership with them what do you think is going on here yeah i think that they used to have a sponsorship with reebok but i don't think that they like tell you you can't wear a specific brand of sneakers and i don't think that they ever uh uh, like had to like, uh, Greek out anybody's shoes on the Island that I can ever recall. Yeah. I mean, either.

I'm sure that we've seen other shoes in the run. Yeah. And Chad's confirming that those, those are air force ones. Uh, and so, yeah, uh, you know, like I said, I'm sure that if it was another shoe, we wouldn't notice, you know, they don't have as noticeable emblems, but the Nike emblem is, you know, it's universal. Everybody knows the swoosh. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay.

So would you, Chappelle, if you were going to go on Survivor, would you bring shoes that you've already broken in or you would buy new shoes? So on the one hand, I have some shoes that I definitely wouldn't mind being like island worn uh a couple old spizikes that are out there sitting around uh but like if i had like but but do you want to be on tv and spizikes no right and so i'm like all right you gotta google spizikes real quick no you don't have to it's fusions it's a whole thing but like yeah i think you

gotta get the forces you gotta go to air force the Air Force once, or you got to do the Jordans. Honestly, I would just do the Jordans. I would do Jordan ones and just have to be that fly. You got to be that guy on the island for yourself. At least it gives you something to do for 20-something days. Be a sneakerhead, you know? Yeah. I don't think a high-top shoe is really ideal for Survivor.

I honestly sometimes question whether or not people should be wearing shoes a lot of times on Survivor in general. I mean, they have low tops as well. But I think we saw the balance being challenged where I was kind of questioning like shoes. Yeah, I noticed that. So I did look at that. And Andy and Rome both were wearing shoes in that challenge, but Kyle was not.ome uh both were wearing shoes in that challenge but kyle uh was not i would not be wearing shoes i would not wear sneakers in that challenge either yeah yeah i got country feet i like i walk outside barefoot in the texas sun i don't care my feet are like these

are calluses on these bad boys okay they are they are battle tested um i feel like they would not uh they would not fare well in survivor but on the balance beam i think i'd be all right yeah i think that the sneakers are worse on the balance beam i think that they're just very slippery like i'd rather uh have my bare feet on the balance beam and they let them bring water shoes too right like i'm not sure uh like in the modern in the new era if they have like two pairs of shoes i think they do i think they have two pairs of shoes and so uh that that's probably interesting too. Bring some shoes.

Remember when those shoes with the toes in them got really popular? Yeah. You remember? Yeah. It was like a four season run on Survivor where, yeah, it was like a lot of people. Those are gone now.

I think they're not cool no more. Mm-hmm. Okay. Dave, it doesn't matter if it's cool. You know, it's cool winning. Yeah, but also you got to be drippy too. Okay. Drip or drown, Rob. Drip or drown. All right. if it's cool you know it's cool winning oh yeah but also you gotta be drippy too drip a drown rob drip a drown all right uh i want to uh play something else uh that rome said in the episode uh this was interesting that uh he he made this comment right if boston rob was the godfather there's got to be a godson somewhere right okay is rome boston rob's godson

but is boston rob the godfather when did that happen have you ever like is that a survivor reference i don't know about so boston rob uh famously in survivor marquesas, talked about he would rather be feared than loved. That's straight out of The Godfather, is what he said. I'd rather be feared than loved. Straight out of The Godfather. Because I'm sitting here trying to pull from the Boston Rob of today,

or in these last few seasons. I was like, I don't think anybody's called him The Godfather in a while. Yeah, and then in Survivor All-Stars, I believe that She-Anne, I feel like it refers to him as the Robfather. And they're like, we're going to save Amber

because the Robfather said so. But is Rome Boston Rob's godson? There's some shared DNA in there there somewhere just because your name is rome doesn't mean you're italian okay that's what it was going for just because you're wearing red doesn't mean that you're my godson maybe maybe um look the only godfather i acknowledge on uh survivor is carl uh but

also but i will but i pay homage to james jones as well i think yes before the uh the godfather uh crown uh like the way i would have liked uh if rob is the godfather i think right now rome is making a good case for himself to be the godson uh god nephew maybe you know maybe not the god son but like god cousin god cousin yeah god cousin yeah i mean i think that's really it's up to boston rob to bestow who his god sons are does that mean he has to raise rob's kids like does he have to go talk to aaron from dandy hmm so that's what the god son the god father does does. So if Rome is the godson, that means that if something were to happen to Rome's guardians, then Boston Rob would have to be another Mariano child.

And he has four daughters. With four daughters. Jonathan from Survivor 42 and Aaron from Aeron from Deal or No Deal Island. That's a lot of kids. That's a lot of kids. Amber is not going to be happy. All of Rob's adoptive kids

are the boys that he couldn't have. I hate you guys. I hate the banker. I hate this. I hate Rome. I hate Rome. I hate my godbrother. I hate Jonathan. I hate Rome. I hate Rome. I hate my God brother. I hate Jonathan. Rob is adopting God kids, and they're all the boys that he couldn't have. He has a slew of girls.

They have his DNA. They have his face. They look like him and Amber. But then he brought in these boys. How do we sign up for a God son's party? Have you ever talked to Rob about being like a God nephew? Y'all have known each other long enough. About being a God nephew? Yeah,all have known each other long enough. About being

a God nephew? Yeah, like a God cousin or something like that. Like Rob versus the Rob that sucks. How does that work? What is that relationship like? No, you know, I feel like y'all go back long enough to where, you know, there should be some type of familial bond.

I mean, we text when the Jets play the Patriots. Is that anything? Only if your Jets win, it's something. Oh, they won that one, baby. Yeah, you got to make sure to send that text. Boston Rob texted me he was going to bed at halftime on that one.

So, maybe we're even. Yeah. Godson 101. God family member. Godson 101. Godson 101. Yeah. Love one another.

Okay. All right. Let's see. What else do we want to talk about? I thought this was before the Red Tribe went to Tribal Council. Keyshawn had a question for the group. Well, okay. Just so we don't have a Q moment. Does anyone want to go home?

Does anybody want to go home? This is a Q moment. Is that? I guess. You know, like they just watched them episodes and then left. You know, so they haven't had time to like really sit with the q had some bigger moments for sure yeah i think the new move is that you want to get air time on survivor just say anything about q oh yeah mission q for sure big mistake make the q

quotes you know wear a q skirt yeah i think that that's the goal you want to come back for survivor 50 we know the casting is happening. They're looking at the entire scope of all the people. They want to give the shout-outs. Yeah. Matter of fact, if you want to get airtime on Survivor, name drop RHAP. It's happened before in the past.

Listen, one for one. It happens. You know who wasn't talking about Q enough? Genevieve. Big mistake. You know, it happens. You know who wasn't talking about Q enough? Genevieve. Big mistake. You shouldn't have done that. Genevieve had a moment in this episode and nobody's talking about it. She was on the bench.

Mr. Flint? She was on the bench and she was like feeling around, trying to find an advantage or something like that. I was like, Genevieve, girl, what you doing? I thought she knew something that we didn't know. There was nothing there. But they showed her. They showed her doing the thing. That's something. Yeah.

Yeah. She's there. They're like, we already got Parvati, Genevieve. Like, why did y'all cast her if y'all weren't going to show her on the show? You know, that's my question. You never know. Sometimes, like, the people, they don't get a lot in the beginning, and then they have a story later on. But yeah, it's been quiet for Genevieve so far. Yeah, very, very, very quiet.

So quiet that Asia was like, I mean, who's going to miss her? And they didn't listen. They didn't listen to Asia. Can I play a couple things from the Tribal Council? Sure. Oh, I wanted to talk about the challenge, though. Okay, talk about the challenge. You know, people.

And when I say people, I mean just like random people on the street you know that i've been talking to um they have been comparing asia to sari throughout the season now obviously she has a a bad exit in this episode um but asia struggled with the balance beam did you see the dna there i saw i saw the spirit of sari you're trying to go against that balance i saw the spirit of Serene. You're trying to go against that balance beam. I saw the spirit of Rob's sister. You know, you've struggled with a balance beam before. Yes, yes. Luckily, not as much

as Dan Liu and Ryan Aiken. Just enough, okay? So if you're like, hey, get them out of here. But yeah, I thought that was pretty cool. I was like, look at Asia walking in the footsteps

of the greats, struggling on the balance beam like Rob and Serene. This is good. I was very sad, though. I was like, Asia, please get across the beam for the love of god get across the balance beam yeah yeah um did you like that they showed like strategizing before the challenge yeah especially because you get to see ron going like if you don't let it be me i'm gonna be very mad i'm gonna be very very mad i was like let let him do it you know like oh god oh god let him have it out okay i

don't care who goes first uh i liked it i liked seeing him talk and then i liked uh look i like seeing my boy baby andy take a stepping up into a spot baby andy twirls his hair a little bit okay yeah and then yeah he should just stay at the camp that's where baby andy is having his best moments he doesn't need to go to the challenges he has some good moments at the challenges not this time but the knife oh yeah that's true that's pretty good

again child of Rob what are we doing here the kids of Rob we don't know what to do balance beams I think you guys we inherited that gene from you you can't podcast how to walk on a balance beam well I can't learn it either, apparently, because all of the other people that we know who come after you in the RHAP DNA

can struggle on these balance beams. I'm claiming Sari as well, thank you. But aside from that, I thought baby Andy did great. He had a good episode, I think. No, he's really in a nice bounce back spot. All right, so we go to tribal council. Okay. Jeff goes to Rome first.

Rome. Every first. Why are you laughing? I just was like hoping that you didn't pick me first, but it's okay. Let's do this, man. We here. Is there a curse about getting the first question? No, that's just Rome. I got a superstition about sitting in the front and middle and I'm sitting in the front and middle.

So, I mean, I already got a lot of nerve. Yeah, we're already 0 for 2. Yeah, exactly. Not looking good. Yeah, no sir. Well, let's do something different. Let's go to Genevieve. Genevieve. And Rome's like, no, no, no, no, no, well you can come, you can go to me, you can go to me.

Like, you don't need to go to Genevieve. Right, I'm trying to be the go-to guy here. Yeah, ah, come, you go to me, you go to me. I'm like, you don't need to go to Genevieve. Right. I'm trying to be the go-to guy here. Yeah. Wait, come back, come back. Uh,

like Jeff, Jeff can tell like, okay. Oh, he's liking this too much. Okay. Yeah. It's like,

I'm going to like, it's like, this is like, I'm going to tickle you. Oh, actually you like it. Okay. That's it.

Now, now I take it back. Uh, yeah, that's what it is. He's like, Oh yeah, let me put some heat on you. But then you write like, ah, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind. It's not fun Now I take it back. Uh-huh. Yeah, that's what it is. He's like, oh, yeah, let me put some heat on you.

But then you're like, ah, never mind, never mind, never mind. It's not fun. It's not fun. It's hazing. It really is hazing. Yeah. You know, because Jeff, when he, because he knows some people, they are good at it, but they don't necessarily enjoy it.

Maybe like a Christian who bicky, right? Christian's like, I'm trying to keep my threat level low. I'm trying to, I'm trying to hide from people, Jeff. And Jeff's like, Christian, tell me about, yeah, give me an analogy about like how this works in robotics. trying to keep my threat level low i'm trying to i'm trying to hide from people jeff and just like christian tell me about yeah give me an analogy about like how this works in robotics and now christian's on a 20 minute tirade at the tribal council but it's like he didn't even want to be that guy you know so you gotta feel like like oh don't come to me jeff like i don't really want to shit yeah oh you're eager to talk okay i'm not good now i'm not going to you uh i'm gonna frustrate

you when you get your chance that's when you pull out the good analogies. That's when you pull out the sad birthday parties. You know what I'm saying? Like, gotcha, Jeff. You know, shut him down. Okay, now, was this a subtle dig from Jeff? Because as Asia was saying, you want to make sure you're solid. But if you dip into the well one more time, you might say the wrong thing.

If you dip into the well one more time you might say the wrong thing if you dip into the well one more time you might say the wrong thing anybody been in our well? has anybody dipped into the well? just show of hands, who's all dipped into the well around here? Rome? Anybody else?

nobody? maybe he might have been trying to put some heat on wrong maybe okay um chapelle then i want to ask you a question about asia's group chat today felt like you're in this trio of best friends like you have a group chat you talk every day right three people but then you're just walking you know you're walking your dogs and you look in a restaurant and the other two are having lunch and you're like wait they didn't put that in the group chat like what's going on like i'm so confused who's in the three-person best friend group chat that asia has are you one of the three hell no i've been blowing up her phone for days. Jason? Jason Reed?

You telling me Asia and Jason got a group chat without me? Happy birthday, Jason. No. Hell no. Hell no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. Who's in the three person group chat? It ain't Jason Reed. It better be somebody else. This must be...

Maybe it's like a women's alliance, Sasha and Mari or something like that. Even then, what y'all talking about that I can't know? I'm walking my dog, I find out Asia got a group chat. Because I've been calling. I've been calling since Wednesday. I think Asia needs her time.

You just got... You just seen your show happen, your episode. You know, but she just got, you know, you just seen your show happen, your episode. Gotta be respectful. You know, but she got some answers to do. As I'm explaining. Because where is my, I didn't get any group me invites. I didn't get no group text messages in. I ain't seen my Twitter DMs blowing up.

Asia, you got something to say? You got something going on? Because I can turn this car around right now. You know what I'm saying? Like, hold on. Pause. I don't know. I don't know.

Are you in it? Are you in the group chat? No. No. I bet it's Taryn. You think it's Taryn? I bet it's Taryn. I bet it's Taryn.

I can't think of who's the third person. Wait, Taryn or Taryn Armstrong or TK? No, Taryn Armstrong. Taryn Armstrong's in there. Yeah. Him and Asia, like, the live feed updates with them. I'm like, y'all be talking outside of this, huh? Y'all be, y'all be, y'all cool? Who else in this third,

who's the third person? It is Mary, ain't it? I'm going to burn this down to the ground. I'm going to text Asia right now. I don't like this at all. Okay. All right. Text Maggie.

Well, we do have a third person to add to the group chat right now because we're blessed to be joined here by the great Mike Bloom. Hold on. Just texting here. Yes, I will

do that soon. Mike, who are you texting? Oh, yeah. It's me, Asia, and my burner phone. That's the three. Why I don't have a burner phone number? See, that's what three. Well, why I don't have the burner phone number? See, that's what I'm talking about. Patel, you don't have a burner phone number?

Okay, I don't have your burner phone number. Okay, let me be very clear. Look, so y'all best friends now? That's what's going on? Everybody best friends but me. That's cool. I'm going to get to the bottom of this. Thank you for joining us, Mike, for now.

Yeah. Listen, happy to be here. Okay, very excited to have uh the great mike bloom here uh to talk a little bit about uh something that he participated in this weekend uh they had a survivor brooklyn beach drop uh this weekend and mike and sam moore went out there and uh we're doing some fun stuff so mike do you have some clips you want to set up and some stories i don't know if i have like clips clips to play unless i've got a whole like dropbox if you want to play well i'm relying on i haven't seen these so i'm relying on sam more to give me if there's any sort

of like visual aid here all right we got some while we got some curation going on behind the scenes let me explain what this is because this was a little sudden uh i think maybe purposely so with the the announcement quite literally dropped so this was something in the style of an event that did happen in nashville a few weeks back and you know i would say maybe a mixed response to how all of that went i would say both from an organizational perspective as well as a climate perspective, it was pretty much the exact opposite of how that event was perceived. Not climate.

What this basically was, watch out Milton, was this was a pop-up event set up in this little triangle, set up in this little triangle, traffic triangle in Dumbo, Brooklyn, where basically there were four sort of separate stations in this Survivor-themed event. There were a couple of, like, photo ops. There were a couple of, you know, step-and-repeats for Survivor and the Summit. This was also a crossover show, of course, with a show that the two of you are covering, fellow Wednesday Night Neighbor in the summit uh there was also a little uh wagon to make your own

immunity idol had some beads had some shells had some string there were four separate challenges that were set up that you could try off to face off against your friends, your enemies, or your friends turned enemies. And even, you know, we had our own little in-house version of Jeff standing behind a nondescript tree saying, I know what you want to do. Apply to be on survivor.

They had a casting hut where you would like sit down and record your own little 30 second intro, almost like an open call and sconce within this big event. Yeah. And then Mike, there was a lot of alumni there too, right? Yeah.

There was a good amount of alumni. Uh, of course we have, uh, the person who is decking out my shirt, Kelly now bandy and shirt. Kelly now bandy. And it was there.

Katara was there. Uh, Evie was there. Xander was Xander. Yeah. I did not know zander is an east coast boyo now robin residing in your fellow stomping grounds of long island oh well i didn't know that i we saw him in chicago uh earlier this year yeah so it might have been a recent advent but he was there dominica bate was there the purple pants badass himself bryce was there eliza was there. The Purple Pan's badass himself, Bryce, was there. Eliza was there. A very welcome surprise appearance

by Jonathan Penner as well. What? Yes. A lot of there there, Mike. There was a lot of there there and then some. So basically I got the chance alongside Sam Moore who was my intrepid cinematographer

slash director to interview. Basically everybody that was there nearly from an alumni perspective. And in addition to also having them participate in a couple of things. Did you see Sam try any fruits or vegetables? Well, there wasn't any readily available, much like survivor. There was no food provided,

but it's fine because again it was sam have you ever eaten a raspberry and mike just come with the territory he said he's nodding yes okay has he ever blown a raspberry question oh mike family podcast okay don't go full bloom on us here it's only 8 23 p.m club condo the one most uh sanctified place of the art i do apologize Slopcondo, the one most sanctified place of the RGV network. I do apologize. How dare you? You'll be back tomorrow for the slop.

I was about to say, I have a date with you gentlemen coming up tomorrow. We got some slop to talk about tomorrow. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. We got Mike Bloom to come talk about the slop.

So yeah, Mike, we keep it PG-ish. All right. So Sam Moore says that there's uh set up a clip to play okay okay i can i can set this up okay so he told he said that uh so that uh that there's there was a slide puzzle here yes so one of the challenges there was of course a slide puzzle a survivor classic uh and so we were able to wrangle up some alumni to participate alongside myself. And so it was the aforementioned Kelly Nalbandian. It was Bryce.

And it was a Survivor 47 contestant. There were actually quite a few Survivor 47 contestants. All the interviews that I did are up there on the RHAP social media. But there was Andy. There was Sue. There was Gabe. There was Saul. Oh, but there was Andy, there was Sue, there was Gabe, there was Saul, and there was Teenie. Oh, nice.

So I was able to recruit, you know, a face from pre-new era, a new era face past, and a new era face present, and we decided Teamwork makes the dream work. We're still in the tribal phase here. Let's buddy up, buddy system, do a 2v2 slide puzzle showdown okay all right i haven't seen a lot of two-person slide

puzzles on survivor but let's try to innovate here john cure hopper was there as well we might have a little something something coming with him okay later on too so maybe we gave him the idea all right here we go let's just play this okay let's see all right we have found some lovely people to take care of this behemoth of the slide puzzle in front of it okay rhap so it's mike and bryce versus kelly and teeny all right do you want me to call the challenge like jeff there we go there we go if you will, it's a fruitless endeavor. All right, on one, three, two, go. Okay. All right. Mike and Bryce are moving pieces.

Kelly is sliding the pieces as Teenie looks on. Moving pieces around in a circular motion. Kelly and Teenie look like they've hit a stumbling block. I will say, Rob, this goes on for five minutes. Yeah. Yada, yada.

How is this a good clip to play on a live podcast? I think you could fast forward to about five minutes and see those last 14 seconds. Yeah, I would say maybe go to like about there. So I will fast forward a little bit. It was a big pursuit. Listen, I'm sure that any lay person out there would think,

oh, if I face off against a survivor contestant on a puzzle, I'm bound to lose. They have experience. I mean, Rob, maybe you could speak to this this that like it's not like writing a bite that information is not staying yeah not first off not every single survivor player did this puzzle second off uh like not every single survivor player is going to be good at it even if they if it did come up on their season and just because of your journalist who uh did 50 seasons of survivor 50 wishlist podcast this summer also means survivor sporkle quiz yes and so uh suffice it to say all four of

us were taking a ride on the struggle bus and so we did uh like any good person does on the challenge we recruited some outside help we had gathered quite a crowd around us for some strange reason. I don't know why. Maybe it was just the immense amount of screaming that we were doing throughout all this about how wrong we were. And so some people chirped in and gave us some advice, eminently.

So thank you to the peanut gallery for helping us. Bring this one back to the middle. And then can you just bring... As you can see, Tini and Kelly, very close. Yes. So get that in that corner. Don't worry about anything else. Okay, so get this in this corner.

The puzzle masters are guiding you. Get this. I don't know if I like that. If you get it back. Okay. I don't know if I like that. Move this to the top right corner. To be honest.

Okay. Okay. There we go. Yeah, there we go. Okay. Okay. Okay. Wait a minute. Yes! Yeah, baby! Yes! Mike and Bryce

RHAP win immunity we did it yeah you know what I'd say a bit of now a mixed week for RHAP podcasters in general when it comes to challenge performances somebody needed to beat Teenie it comes to challenge performances. Somebody needed

to beat Teenie. It needed to happen, okay? I'm still salty. The Red Tribe is, I'm sorry, they can all lose all the time for me, at least until we're done with this season. Thank you, Mike, for stepping in and avenging me. I feel a little bit better. Mike, what's your record in competing in these challenges when you

go out on location? Okay. Yeah, did you race Pouya? I've not raced Pouya. Okay. Yeah, did you race Pouya? I've not raced Pouya. Well, I have to wait until Pouya's contested on Survivor 48. Chappelle, don't spoil it. But, okay, so 39, we lost. 46, now, I guess, does coming in second count as a win in the new era? Are there three tribes?

Yes. Okay, I mean... Oh, yeah, that's fine. Yeah, so we won we won then that we did the uh the iconic persistence challenge with the big blocks uh this one was an individual challenge i went two for four on this one i ended up winning this one and then i won the other one which is uh the like uh one where you're stacking the blocks that say immunity on the wobbly table. I beat Kelly and Mike Turner on that one.

We'll talk about another standout Mike Turner performance coming up. And TBD on 48. Might have gotten a couple touches of the ball in 48. Hey, look at you. Mike Moe, challenge beast. I love it. Yeah, alright. Mike,

so here's another clip that we have so let's let's set this up actually because this is very exciting this is sort of an exclusive because this for those that have been peeping the uh the publicity photos is a brand new element of survivor us challenge lore and it is going to be appearing in this week's challenge so it's a little bit of a teaser as to what to expect on Wednesday. Okay, preview for the challenge. Okay. Do you want to set up what's going on here? Yeah, this lovely young man

is going to explain, but basically, there's this window. I'm going to skip his description. You describe it. There's a window that's made up out of these magnetic blocks. We have to toss beanbags through the window and have it land on a table on the other side. The first person to land two beanbags wins.

Why do they have to be magnetic blocks? Because when you knock them over, they're a lot easier to stack. Trust me. Okay. They go in a certain way. Okay. Yes, they go in this sort of like arch-like window formation. Okay. Alright. Oh. I saw that arch before, yeah. Alright.

Okay, so Mike is knocked over his window. Baby Andy is still firing beanbags. This is one challenge that he's still in. Mike stacks his green frame. Mike taking a long time. Mike Bloom just misses the table. Baby Andy. Oh, no, baby.

Disaster for baby Andy. Mike Turner sabotages Mike Bloom. Mike Turner ran over and knocked down my window, unprompted. A real one. It's not not in the rules. Yeah, a real one. Yes, Mike Turner again. Mike real one. It's not not in the rules. A real one. Mike Turner again. And now baby Andy gets in

on the action. This is the WWE hardcore match. The first to one wins at the three. Yeah. It's three minutes long. We got it.

We'll just say I won by a landslide. Yeah, what about, did you do any good interviews, Mike? They're all up on RHAP. I mean, I guess we could, I don't know, post the one with Penner.

I'm not entirely sure. Let's see. Okay, let's see. All right. Let's just check in with Mike's conversation. And of course, you can see these all on our Instagram.

Go to at RHAPgrams. Okay? Yeah. Are you and Baby Andy wearing the same shirt, but just two different colors, Mike? No, completely different shirts. I think you could recognize Baby Andy's shirt, though, because I'm pretty sure it's the shirt that Kimo wears

in his cast photo for Big Brother 26. It is, yeah. Okay. So just to establish this, john and penner had just walked into the event uh sam had a prior engagement so he was on the way out and we wanted to of course grab an interview with him i have never met penner this is the very first time i'm speaking with him so just keep that in the back of your head as i engage with this lovely man i was gonna say mike how did you keep it cool were you like okay be normal be normal be normal or did you just blow well you're you're gonna see a man liquefy over

the course of about okay i thought you was wet i knew it look at what we stumbled upon today walking in under a rock under a rock no no hat in hand, Jonathan Penner, the living legend himself. Hello. Well, how are you doing right now? I mean, it's amazing to see you here. We usually are used to seeing you on the West Coast, so excited to have you here in the concrete jungle. Thank you.

It's an amazing spot that we're in here, Dumbo. I don't quite know what Dumbo means, but it's Brooklyn. Dumbo under the bridge. I don't know. Maybe it's under the bridge. Hello. Well, this is an amazing type of event. I mean, you've been going to these fan events, obviously, for a while now, but this feels completely unique. What's your perspective on it? Well, I haven't been inside yet. You guys accosted me as I was walking in. So I haven't seen what's going on, but I see Eliza Orleans right here. Exactly. Hi.

I got two genuine old schoolers here. Legends. You're surrounded by legends. I'm surrounded by two favorites, by the way. Got a bit of a Malakal reunion. Legends, though, indicate an imaginary character. Like a legend is not a real, it's like a myth. No, you can be a legendary human. You are legendary.

We are the legends of Survivor in Dumbo. Peace. There we go. We got Mike and Micronesia going on right now. Yeah, exactly. Wow. Well done, Mike. I love this so much.

I love this so much. I still have no idea if this man likes me or not. Did we send Tommy Guam out there? I believe that that was a missed opportunity also to get uh interviews with the people on the street yeah oh my god mike that was crazy uh see you name drop the tribe and neither one of them react i don't know why i don't have big ears i don't know why i get a type five from Penner doing a bit on Brooklyn neighborhood names, but I'm all the better for it personally.

What an incredible opportunity. And so thank you, CBS, for granting me that, for having my soul leave my body for that minute and a half and for all the great stuff I got to thanks to everybody who like came out and talked to me as well. I may or may not have a plug the Wednesday night events next week. That still has some tickets available in New York city. Why do they call it the Bronx? I love it.

I'm sorry. I love Pinner. I love Pinner and his Rudy era. Like, well, I would have gone. It's like, I would be, I would have gone to die. Yeah. Acoustic. I'm like, not a constant. That man saw you jump up and run toward him didn't he yeah well listen uh he's been a survivor player for what like over a decade at this point isn't he used to random

youthful nobodies looking like me jumping up anytime he seemed like oh okay let me talk to him yeah you think he'd be used to this by now, but it definitely seemed like he was not ready for a Mike Bloom type. Well, he was double accosted, because Mike was talking to him, and then Eliza couldn't wait to get in. Yeah, I don't know if Eliza was bailing him out or bailing

me out, to be completely candid. Yeah. Yeah. Usually, if somebody gets interviewed, you let them finish the interview not not in the open while i mean this is survivor rob you can have a conversation with anybody and then a third person's just gonna walk in this isn't a gc that's actually one of the like principles of survivor like you're doing your interview and nobody's allowed to bother you

yeah i guess the more so she was treating it like a conversation it just didn't know eliza's treating it like a live tribal just didn't know the gimmick. Eliza's treating it like a live tribal council. Exactly. Not a seat to be found. I'd like to get in there, please. Objection. Mike, you said GC was at Dumbo? That was so cool. How did you get

a GC? GC, another legend. God's child. He was supposed to go, but then he just kind of ran away at the last second and we couldn't find him. Nobody knew child he was he was supposed to go but then he just kind of ran away at the last second nobody knew where he was follow the extremely large lime green polo exactly sticks out like a sore thumb okay all right mike any other fun stories to share uh i will say we got some big brother people showing up as well so tucker was there oh did he like doing the puzzles so he faced off against sander on a slide puzzle and i don't know if he was

reading it backwards but he did not prevail unfortunately a cold streak for tucker in puzzles yes tough weekend yes uh though i do, I think he faced off against Penner and Zander on the beanbag toss that you saw, and I think he might have won. But that was fun. Joseph was there from Big Brother 24. Oh, wow. Yeah, amazing racers, too. So it really was like a nice mishmash of CBS people in the middle of Dumbo.

Anybody from the Summit? There was one person from the summit, Jeannie from the summit. Oh, yes, Jeannie. Yeah. Tony, Tony. I love Jeannie. Yeah, and one thing I will plug

is actually I have something coming out tomorrow where I talked with Sue and I talked with Jeannie about how their experience as mothers brought them onto a reality TV where they're regarded as mother in a very different way. And what the experience was like coming back, you know, bringing their families into the entire thing. And I may have some sneak peeks of this week's episodes as well.

So I was granted the opportunity to chat with them exclusively per parades. You check that out all right check that all out of course check out uh mike bloom on the b&b this week uh two hour episode uh mike and liana playing some games with jenny autumn always funny when jenny stops by the b&b oh mike can we talk about your uh latest uh interview from a non-survivor perspective yes we need to talk about this because breaking news are happening now baby okay all right why do i get on twitter and see you just casually chatting with event nicole brown of all people i'm the third person in the gc it's me asia and event nicole brown yeah can i play a clip? Absolutely. I would die to be in that group chat. I would die to be in that group chat. Like right now.

Like, like give me a bridge. Well, all right. You've hit Nicole Brown. Oh my God. Did you get her? Did you get her like contact number?

Like email? Cause we, we know script the TV. Here we go. Here's a clip from Mike Bloom. Yeah. So to set this up a little bit. So I got the chance.

Spoiler alert. I was about to say, spoiler alert for an episode that aired like five days ago at this point. Yvette Nicole Brown was on The Masked Singer. She got unmasked this past week. And I have started this year to do exit press for The Masked Singer with various celebrities. I talked with John Elway week one, which was very surreal in and of itself. But this week I got to talk with the Denver Diva. Exactly.

No nicknames. But I figured, you know, we had a lot of great stuff to say. Check it out over at Parade. But I was like, I gotta shoot my shot here. I don't know how many opportunities I'll get to talk to a confirmed fan of Survivor.

Somebody who was like a like a basically the co-host of the Jeff Probst talk show. If you remember. Yeah. Huge Survivor fan. And Rob, you and I and Shannon did one of our summer Survivor episodes as a celebrity Survivor brand stealer. We took a bunch of different survivor fans who are celebrities, put them on a season together. It was a wild ass time.

Check it out in the archives. And Yvette Nicole Brown was the victor. And I thought, I'm going to really blow her mind by coming in here and dropping this nugget. Is she like a Benjamin Button? I feel like that she looks 20 years younger now than she did 20 years ago she looks incredible yeah yeah this is this is the best interview that i've ever seen in my life i'm so excited all right completely tangential but i never thought i'd have the

opportunity to ask you i just want to point this out so i I'm I'm a huge survivor fan. I cover the show as well And I did a survivor. She's like that was like oh Like uh, it's like honestly that was probably the second best reaction. I could have expected I was just expecting her like blank eyed. Uh-huh. Yeah like dinner. Yeah That was definitely closer to pinners's reaction than anything like oh okay i just graduated the third grade oh yeah yeah okay as well and i did a survivor simulation of like what would a celebrity survivor season i won i remember was that you that did that that was me how did you know that? Someone sent me the tweet, and I'm trying to figure out,

what was it about me that, how did I win? How did I win? The simulation did it. AI did it, Yvette. You're the winner. Oh, my God. I was so excited. I didn't fully understand how it worked.

I didn't know if people were voting. But I went back and watched the weeks, and Yvette has done this, and she got the idol. I was like's she got the idol and Yvette. I was like, well, I got the idol. Like I was so excited. And then when I won it all, I was like, this is great because I'll never do Survivor. I will never. I'm not a nature girl. I'm not. Mosquitoes love me. I will never do Survivor. So you gave me my Survivor moment. So thank you. This is wow. Incredible. Incredible.

Surreal in so many ways. So Rob, we did it. We did it. Suck it, Shannon. You said people wouldn't watch it. And look,

it's no medium Sheldon, but I would dare say it's something even better. We got a whole ass. Go back and play the tape. I said we should do celebrity survivor because the celebrities will watch it, and they did. So special shout-out to the conduit, whatever person it was who decided to send this her way, and especially to Evendico Brown

for watching that entire three-hour escapade having no idea what was going on. Escapade. Escapade is crazy. That was one crazy escapade. That's nuts. I love her. I'm so happy, Mike, that you've got to do these two incredible interviews.

But, like, that's crazy. Send her to the stars of 2024, Brad Steele. She's in it. She's an all-star. She's running a high right now. She won a season of Survivor. And she's the only celebrity I know that has lost the French field. How'd she do on Masked Singer?

She got eliminated second. Not great. Not great. But in between, it was out of a group of five. Okay. Oh, that's not bad. Top five, baby. Small tribes.

Anything can happen. You get unlucky. It's a new era. Asia, Nicole Brown. It's been a rough week. It's a new era. Asia, Nicole Brown. It's been a rough week. Man, yeah. If Nicole Brown needs to come talk to us about The Walking Dead, make that happen. Mike, work your magic.

Listen, I will float it out there. Find out what she's watching. I will say, I did post the tweet, and she did quote tweet it as well. We know if Nicole Brown changed the website name. post the tweet and she did quote tweet it as well so okay we know event nicole i mean if she wants to like reach out to a fan base that will like uh be very grateful she stopped by like uh like she will not be able to get rid of us yeah until she gets pissed off then mu dang votes her out

in the best of 2024 brain steal i'll be so far up her ass that she can taste my shoes. Look, I think that she, I love Yvette Nicole Brown. Bring her here. Bring her here. Yeah. F. Mudang. Mudang kick rocks.

It's YMB time, okay? Like, dang, that's so cool. Good job, Mike. Yeah, that was a major blindside. So thank you to Yvette Nicole Brown for, again, sticking all that time into the brain steal. Congratulations on the win

and your upcoming win in a couple of months when Rob and I simulate that season. Okay. All right, Mike, a great job. Anything else you want to plug? Mike earns several plugs,

several, it might be seven plugs at the end of this. I mean, the usual stuff, a big brother, obviously we are barreling towards the finale. Covering the challenge as well, doing exit press for that. I'll be talking with another celebrity kicked off, The Masked Singer,

though I do not know how from a personal perspective they can top that. Again, check out the RIP Instagram and Facebook accounts for interviews with past players, with present players, watching me run all four of those challenges. You can see my other win where I handed it to Kelly Nalbandian

and Mike Turner. The scripted TV side of stuff is thrumming along as well. And there's less than 24 hours, gentlemen. I will be back with the two of you to break down the final sloppy week of Big Brother. All right. The slop is live tomorrow at 6 p.m eastern so join us then for that patrons only okay yeah and it'll only be 20 hours till mike bloom is accosting us once again

i mean that really is the implication whenever i come on to these things i'm just accosting you with my appearance so thank you, as always, for enduring, gentlemen, and surviving, in a manner of speaking, to quote some tattoos. Mike, thank you so much for popping in. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Okay, talk to you tomorrow.

Bye. I got a couple other quick ones for you here. Quick bites. Okay. A couple more things to accost you with uh man isn't that so cool do you think like penner did you think do you think uh mike should have name dropped you and be like like i'm friends with rob like you know how do you how do you make penner react in that moment? I don't know. Yeah, because he's very much in his OG Penner mode.

Well, I think the thing is, I think that all of the new era players are all very familiar with Mike Bloom. They are all familiar with his body of work. But then Penner is a little bit offline, so I may not uh who exactly uh mike is mike handled it way better than i would have because i would have like i would have been speechless when i saw pinner and i would have cried when i talked to event nicole brown so you know this is why he's a mike blue type this is our blue guy this is what he does he's a glue guy okay all right so um this was interesting people seem to be tracking this kind of stuff very closely. Something gets said on Survivor.

People go to check out what are the Google trends doing after this week's episode of Survivor. It turned out that the searches for heirloom tomatoes spiked

this past wednesday night this is what the kids are doing now i remember i'm old enough to remember back when rjp used to end every podcast with a hashtag because that was what the kids were doing you had to have a hashtag people can find the podcast it proved that you listen to the podcast now are you really even talking or or on television if no one's searching random phrases from your episode? Heirloom Tomatoes are having a moment right now. They're having the best week ever. Yes, okay.

So I don't really know what this interest over time is. Is that from 0 to 100? Is that percent or did 100 people search for Heirloom Tomatoes? I think it's 100, but I don't know if it's 100 like uh baseline or if it's like a hundred thousand you know a thousand you know i don't know what the basis is right here but yeah it's it looks like between october 3rd at 6 16 a.m and october 3rd at 3 36 p.m it was a spike um in the united states yes in the united states yeah and so uh it's They're having a moment They're hot

Okay But out of all the things Heirloom tomato I guess everything else Not broccolini I think it was just that Sam asked a question That a lot of people

Are probably afraid to ask Which is What's the difference You know like If I've had a tomato Have I had a heirloom tomato You know I'm sure that was a question

That no one knew That they needed to know until he until he brought it up okay all right then we've got a uh something this was wild that this uh got a discovery here um okay there's a website called soulmates.com. Now, it's not a dating site. It seems to be some kind of a dress shop. Elegant, comfortable, made to fit your body is what they say over at soulmates.com. And some intrepid folks have done some research and asked the question chapelle is this amanda kimmel amanda models the soulmates c907 mother of the bride mandarin high neck jacket

with maddie dress set of course uh that two people that were tribe mates with Penner and Eliza. Is this a dress a legend would wear? Okay. Uh, so here it is in a different. Oh, that's not, that's not.

Okay. Who would survivor is this? Is Courtney Merritt? No, I don't know who these women are. This woman's in the jungle. This woman is literally on Survivor. Right.

That is... Not that. Nope, not her either. That right there. That is Amanda. I know. Sam, could you blur this? I can't tell if this is her.

Right. Is it really Amanda if it's not blurred? It's it. Mandarin high neck jacket mandarin aka china i'm just saying look at her still paying homage respecting the culture you know amanda kemmel is somehow still an underrated survivor player to me like i feel like people like have like the fandom the fans the famandas they the fans, the Femandas, they're out there. The Feman women as well.

They're out there and they are really pushing this Amanda Kimmel narrative and they are correct. I think that no matter how many stares she gets, she cannot be undersold as a survivor player. She went to the end twice, back to back before Russell Hance even did it. And she

was just a monster in Heroes it. And she was a, just a monster in heroes versus villains as well. Leading her tribe for the most part, strategically. If Colby even cared about winning a million dollars at the end, she might've gotten a little bit further. He just took her fight. And I mean,

that side of that fight against Danielle, I'm happy to see Amanda Kimmel back on the scene, Rob, we need her for 50, bring her back for 50. Okay. Chappelle says, bring back Amanda need her for 50 bring her back for 50 okay chappelle says bring back amanda kimmel for 50 ak 50 this is ak 47 this is survivor 47 but yeah like amanda kimmel survivor 50 i think the votes reflected it if i'm not mistaken rhap voted her in yep the fans did yeah so the fans did Here you go. This dress costs $785.

That's what happens when you go back to back on Survivor and then play a game. Like, she played like, what, three times in like, what, three years? She got money. Amanda did. She good out here. She earned. Yeah. I mean, I don't think that she necessarily, she shouldn't make this dress.

She's not selling it. Oh, but I mean, you gotta be, you gotta necessarily shouldn't make this dress. She's not selling it. Oh, but I mean, you gotta feel rich to wear rich stuff. You know what I'm saying? Why do they call this Soulmates? I don't know. I don't know. Is it all like wedding attire? I don't know anything about the Soulmates. Do we have the

story of how anybody found this? I was about to say, who was like searching Soulmates.com and then uh it's 100 silk says fujiyoshi in the chat yes we love some silk yes yes okay well yeah i love it here i'm sorry amanda being here is incredible thank you for her. Now, find out a way to message her and tell her to come back and play Survivor again, or at least come on the podcast. But like inside a house with internet and stuff like that.

I think one of her last appearances, Amanda was kind of freestyling it. I think she was driving when she was on the podcast. Amanda appeared on the podcast in, I believe, I want to say it was maybe 2011. And I forget what season she was going to. I think Amanda has made two appearances on Rob as a podcast. She was in the competition to win Miss Survivor 2012.

I heard about that on Big Brother. Yes. And then she also then did an episode. I don't remember what season it was, but she was driving in the car when I talked to her and she had not seen the episode that we were recapping. And I'm fine with that. Bring her back.

It's fine. Bring her back again. It's fine. It's fine. We will make it. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. We will make it. We need more amazing. A lot of these old episodes,

before a certain date, we just said, turn them all off, okay? Yeah. But if people can vet certain episodes and say, this is fine. Nobody says anything that's going to be unflattering 14 years later uh i'm okay with

bringing them back online oh you want to do like a like a maybe like a rhp rewind of sorts i need people to like yeah somebody can listen to uh an old tape send it to me when you find when you when you come up with something that people that's in high demand send it to me i'll vet it give it the gold star and push it out boom i think that's the problem is and it feels like why don't you just turn them all on so the the very the very old episodes are all on uh an audio tape and so we have to go back and play the audio tape and then record it back so that's how that's why we have to take a lot of them offline yeah that's a lot that's very ghetto but uh we could do like a this week in rhp history where if we got a good interview or whatever maybe you could release that on the youtube page again yeah yeah you hear it you

know what we do you know what i'm saying i forgot the people was in the chat i forgot people were watching us we vibe this is what we do. I think it's a good idea. Okay. All right. Let's go check that. Okay. Yeah. Let's do it. Rob's fact checker says that's how we got this. Okay.

Yes. Good job, Rob. All right. And then we got one more person who's doing some checking. Chappelle, you know about Elzbeth? I know it exists. Yeah. It keeps popping up in the middle of my Survivor episodes. Pops up, okay.

And here's Elsbeth. Brian Scali is wondering, like, hey, Elsbeth, what you looking at? Get the hell out of the way. Elsbeth, get from out of there. That just probes nether region. You're about to find a nether gorgon. You better get away from that. Now that's how you do it on survivor oh man stand up literally stand up got nothing for you get out of here get your eye

poked out sorry for you man yeah that's where all the fixings is that you want to get away from the fixings yeah you don't want the fixings there you go elspeth yeah well we're friends with your husband okay keep it classy husband uh uh ben linus what wait hold on pause like the actress who plays elspeth and ben linus the actor or like it's been linus in elspeth and Ben Linus, the actor? Or is Ben Linus in Elspeth and I just didn't know? No, in real life. Wow. Yeah.

I have questions for Elspeth now. I know who Ben Linus is now, so I have a lot of questions for Elspeth. That worked out good, right? Does he always talk like that? Yeah, yeah. Perfect timing. Okay.

All right, Chappelle, what else is on your mind? Anything? I'm very happy that we were able to make it through this podcast. I was very concerned. Yeah. Very concerned on Wednesday that I was going to have like a breakdown. The Asia stuff is still raw to me. Please don't make jokes at her expense.

It hurts my feelings and it makes me want to do violent things. And so just like, hey, just move on. You know what I'm saying? We're on to the next thing. You know, Asia gave it her it her best shot again i don't think she has anything to be ashamed about i thought she played a great game as much game as she could play and uh she had a target on her back man that rhap glow is just too bright sometimes you know yeah i mean i don't think it was an rhap uh glow that was that was too bright know, you get in a bad circumstance. I mean, that's the thing about, you know, small tribes.

You end up, you know, in a bad spot. It could happen. And, you know, she played hard, and I'm super proud of her. Yeah, she went out like a G. There wasn't like some random blind side where it was like, you know, like she was like, hey, pick me or pick them, but you got to pick. I was most worried that like, oh, I feel like the podcast is gonna hurt Asia and it feels like that if anything it was a help it was it was a lifeline it seemed to be it didn't actually work right

we were told it was a lifeline but did it it really? You know what I'm saying? Was it really? So I guess in theory it could have been a lifeline. But all in all, very proud of the girl. So happy. I know that she's very happy to have had her chance and her dream. And I can't wait to see what's next. But, yeah, this was a great time. And I want to thank all the listeners and stuff for all the positive things that they've said to Asia and continue to say to her. Because I know she very much wanted to put on

for the listeners and to show out for the RHAP community. And so I'm happy that she was able to do that. And I know that she's really appreciate the love she's been getting. Okay. All right, Chappelle. Also, one week from tomorrow night, we'll be together with the patrons for a RHAP meetup in NYC.

Yeah, that'll be fun i'm very excited uh i hear that there's going to be games being played dwight from survivor it's been talking about some blood on the clock tower which i kind of understand now that i've watched the blood on the clock tower premiere here on rhap i enjoyed it i i normally do not know what's going on but i do we really tried to hold people's hands through it. Yeah, if anybody missed it, we played a game with a bunch of great survivor personalities of Blood on the Clocktower. If you don't know what that is,

it's like a mafia werewolf type game. And really this was Steven's idea and Christian Hubicki was a big help in terms of putting it all together. And with a lot of great help behind the scenes, uh, we ran a all survivor edition of blood on the clock tower and it's been received fabulously and people are really enjoying it. So, uh, it's edited. There's confessionals. Even if you don't know what blood on the clock tower is that you'll, uh, very much enjoy it. It's a great thing to hold you over until the next episode of survivor yeah so the patrons are going to be playing that uh they play it every day in

the in the discord but this is gonna be in person this is gonna be even better you know saying dwight's gonna be there it's gonna be so cool i might pop in i'm definitely not gonna play but i like to tell stories i like to be a storyteller i thought you were enjoying this what i do yeah that was very fun. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so in honor of Pinner, I can't wait for that event to happen. Yeah.
