Yes, that's right. Club condo is a back for another season here. Talking a survivor about all of the nonsense. Not too much of the strategy from each week in the survivor world. And here I am with the only guy who is the perfect person to talk about all of this with. It's Chappelle. Chappelle, how are you? I'm great.

Ladies leave your man at home. The club condo is full of ballers in their pockets full grown as they say. We're here, we're back. We're back. Ballers are out. Ballers are out. It's time to go.

Hoochie mamas stay away. Hoochie mamas. I mean, let's hear them out. Let's hear them out. Yeah, let's hear both sides. Bring the Hoochie mamas stay away. Hoochie mamas. I mean, let's hear them out. Let's hear them out. Yeah, let's hear both sides. Bring the Hoochie mamas, Hoochies and the mamas. Do all that. We're going full tilt boogie into everything from the week of Survivor.

And this is a podcast for people who are new here. Really, this is sort of like the spiritual, I would say, I don't say successor, but it's like the sister podcast of The Slop that we do for Big Brother, talk about all of the crazy stuff that's going on in the world, Big Brother, social media, what are the alumni up to, anything that people are talking about online. A lot of the crazy quotes that happened from the show and that's what we're here to do on Club Condo.

Yeah, we might. We're going to talk about the episode, of course. But if you're looking for someone to talk about how it was a three, two, one, both double or blind and win, and then they're going to come over the top and win the day like, well, I don't care. I know Chizzi points here on Club Condo. We just arrived. We're having a good time here. Yeah, I'm sorry.

I can't talk about the Chizzi. I mean, maybe you should have some of your own award for like, you know, the messiest play of the week, like you could be online or, you know, off the show. Yeah, the Chappie. You need an award. The Chappie award, the Chappie. The Chappie is here.

And I don't know, let's talk about it. I think that would be nice. I think that we give the fishy to the person who kind of wins the day or has a really big night and survivor. They're the main character of the story or whatever the case may be. And they have a good show and they don't get blindsided. That's the fish back thing. I think we can talk about some mess. It can get a little messy here. Let's talk about the Chapizzi. The Chapizzi. Okay. So I think that's a fun thing to do to bring into all this, because that's what we're here to talk about on Club Kondo.

And it's towards the end of the week. And so we can talk about everything that came out of the episode here to just one of the many offerings we have for you here on WeKnowSurvivor.com. If you're not subscribed yet, you missed about 11 podcasts talking about the Survivor premiere. Chappelle, we haven't gotten to talk about the Survivor premiere. What did you think of the two hour first episode? Survivor, two hours is a long time. It's only 30 minutes longer than a regular episode.

Yeah, but the 30 minutes they be adding don't really do like I need them to do. It's like, they say, okay, we're gonna add 30 minutes and then like nine of them is just the challenge again. It's like, who this challenge is on? The opening challenge is very long. It is a big chunk of the episode. But I like that we had time with each of the tribes. I really enjoyed getting to know the players

that we got to get to know. I can't think of anybody who was completely absent. Is there anybody who jumped out that didn't get any screen time? I don't think so. I think everybody got something. Yeah, which is great because, you know, sometimes survival doesn't always do the best at that, you know, or at highlighting players. You know, we didn't meet Genevieve until episode three, basically, last season. And that became a story in and of itself, you know. So I felt like it was well balanced. And there was some fun moments, some interesting things they did with the challenge

and some fun characters as well. Okay, Chappelle, also it was last Monday night that we had the Survivor Draft. And the podcasters drafted the 18 Survivor players, of course, a big part of the Survivor Draft is, 18 survivor players of course a big part of the survivor draft is who gets the grenade and It was none other than reigning champion Shannon Gus who? Drafted Stephanie. I believe the 10th pick got the grenade Yeah, um

Drafted the grenade a couple times But mostly because Asia really drafted the grenade, but they gotevac, so we kind of just rolled over to me. But I actually did draft the first boot one time. I think that happened. I think it happened. But you know, I was the one who beat the Grenade, so I'm not going to count Shannon out quite yet, but I am going to tell her to take off her tiara because the fall of the false queen, you know, we had to suffer through her for the entire offseason. I was tagged in

videos and reels and TikToks. People were sending cameos of like Shannon gloating. It was a whole thing. She almost flew to Texas just to tell me that she won the drive. I was like, listen, we all made fun of you for losing, okay? I'm just, I'm funnier than the rest of them. So she got her look back. But now the ball is in my court. Shannon has to get the first-placer and the second-placer to then win the game, to win the draft, and to be our first two-time winner. And like I said, I'm not counting her out because I thought her team was pretty strong. Okay. All right, Shabelle, let's get into the action that we saw play out this week.

And Sam is saying that she has Thomas and Justin. So, you know, not impossible for her to get to the end and get a winner out of those two, but we'll keep an eye on it for the rest of the season. But okay, on Wednesday night, there was a lot of action on the Green Tribe, the Vula Tribe, and the person who was at the center of everything over there. It was a real survivor standout. It was Say. Yeah. Say, I drafted Say, right?

Because I saw all of the mess that Say was going to be in her preseason interviews. I said, Say is a firecracker. Say is going to, she's going to have a lot to say and she's going to make sure that they all hear it. And so I was very excited to draft her. I do not think she can win the game. You know, like I think that even after one episode in, I'm thinking, oh god How you got to turn this one around because there were things that we saw There was definitely things that we did not see that I was saying like isn't the best for our social game

But I have no regrets. I'm telling you I drafted a star and not the star but I drafted a star Not literal star but the figure star of Survivor and the survivor editors felt the same way because the great Rob's fact-checker Who keeps tabs on all this stuff tweeted in the premiere of survivor 48 every player got a confessional Dean is the last player not to get one in the first episode say also set the all-time record for most confessionals in a single episode of Survivor.

Okay, so here we go. So let's give you some facts here on say, say had 21 confessionals in the opening episode of Survivor. Say passes Natalie White in overall confessionals given, winner of Survivor Samoa. Also that while Tony Velachos holds, this is also the all-time record for most confessionals in a given episode of Survivor, Tony holds the all-time most confessionals in a 60 minute episode with 18, but congratulations to say the answer to the

trivia question, what Survivor player had the most confessionals in one episode? The one with the most to say it's easy to remember. She said a lot. Okay But her journey and episode was so fun It was it wasn't say just like chewing the scenery. It was saying really talking through her perspective of, it's the first day on the beach. We're all excited, but we're also very much like, we're not the biggest tribe here. So I could see us going to tribal council.

And if we do, it's only six people here, somebody got to go. And so we see, say, talking us through the idea of making the four person alliance. We see her go to the two women, Stephanie and Mary, and they're like, ah, you know. And she goes to the guy and they're like, fine, you know, we're in. So she takes that. Then next thing you know, we see her looking for the idol. So she gets confessionals there. But the idol, that's the real issue here. I think we spent two commercial breaks

before we figured out the answer to her puzzle. So we spent most of the episode really trying to figure out how do these words and the numbers come together. She didn't come here to do math and I totally felt that in my soul. Would you prefer it if that they got away with a beware advantage of you should found the idol and that was it? I would have loved for them to just found an idol. The Beware advantage is, the Beware advantage is interesting, right? Because it does add a little bit of suspense to the challenges.

But I don't know, rarely do we see anybody who can't just ever figure out the Beware advantage, right? I think typically within an episode, they found their vote, maybe. Yeah. I do think that it adds a lot in the pre-merge because it usually you have to involve the other players in a lot of times helping you find it and then that creates other problems for the players to deal with like down the road. So I think it does add something to it.

And I think it's also part of like, we have all this runtime. What are we going to have the players doing? So it gives us something to do. But say you had some very memorable quotes in this episode. And this is one she talked about when she was describing the other women on her tribe. Stephanie and Mary, these Hoochie mamas are just playing the get to know you game. Hoochie mamas. The Hoochie mamas.

Yeah. First of all. Hoochie mama. Hoochie mama. That is, first of all, if she wasn't talking about them as if she's not going to work with them, that'd be a cool alliance name. Okay. Like we the hoochie mamas. Okay.

We're out here. Maybe the men's alliance could be the hoochie mamas. No, no, no. California girls is already kind of like, we've got the one. I'm talking about Cedric, Justin and Kevin could be the hoochie mamas. But, but no, she's a part of that alliance too. So if she's not a Hoochie Mama, they can't be Hoochie Mamas without her. Say has to be in the inside of this alliance. So I don't know what their alliance name is, but the Hoochie Mama Alliance is now an alliance

of one. It's just Mary. I don't know if she knew she was going to be labeled a Hoochie Mama, but also I think it's very funny that that phrase has now made it to Survivor because it wasn't on my bingo card at all. Two Live Crew is somewhere just like fist pumping because they did it. They finally got it back out here. Go Uncle Luke.

I know Uncle Luke out here watching Survivor. I can tell. Yeah. By the way, I don't think Mary liked being one of the hoochie mamas, uh, because she responded on Twitter this week and said, uh, if by obsessed, you mean want to vote you out, then sure. I'm obsessed. Sincerely a hoochie. Hoochie mama, Mary, you gotta say the whole thing. It's like a tribe called quest. You gotta say the whole thing. No, look to me,

hoochie mama is very much a term term of endearment. And if it wasn't in that moment when Say said it, to me it is. It is now. I think I'm just like, I'm reclaiming hoochie mama. You know what I'm saying? I too, can I be a hoochie mama? Hoochie daddy? I've heard hoochie mama.

I don't really know what a hoochie mama is. It's bad? Well, in the, look, way back in the 90s, they used to like make these phrases up to kind of just like shame women for being, you know, for enjoying their life, wearing clothes that might be tighter or whatever, showing off their bodies and things of that nature. But two live crew featuring Uncle Luke, they really wanted to highlight the women who were wearing the little shorts and showing off their bodies and looking really good. It was good.

Well, from Tulaf Crew's perspective, it definitely was. But yeah, it kind of like, there's like a gray area, right? Like it was like, it's good depending on how you say it, but it's definitely like got some negative connotation to it. So I can see if Mary felt something about it, but I'm telling you, the phrase hasn't been uttered on television since at least 97. So I think we're good. But I didn't feel like that Mary and Stephanie were giving that.

Exactly. That's why it's funny because it's like, if they were like, like you're shaming me for my clothes and stuff like that, I needed a at you just like, I needed a random term, a blanket term to describe these two women. And I was just like, and these hoochie mamas, it's like, okay, I thought it was very funny. But like, if they took offense to it, obviously then they don't like it.

Then hey, then, you know, cool off on the name calling. But I still think solid alliance name coming out the gate. Yeah, okay. Then another thing that Say said in the episode was this. It has to be Stephanie tonight. And I Then another thing that Say said in the episode was this. It has to be Stephanie tonight. And I think the thing that's Achilles heel, that's kind of like stabbing her in the butt cheek. Yeah. In the butt cheek. Her Achilles heel that's stabbing her in the butt cheek. That's ridiculous as far as like the anatomy of your body when it comes to like how your heel

could be stabbing you in the butt cheek. Like I just really feel like- Well, if you're like a catcher in baseball, like if you have an Achilles heel that can stab you, that's going to go right in the butt cheek. It's going to go right in the butt cheek, but you should be getting like medical attention for that. You know, like it shouldn't be so jagged and just like, you know, pointed at your ass like that.

Yeah, her Achilles heel, it stabbed her in the butt cheek. She, you know, stabbed in the back. It's too easy, it stabbed her in the butt cheek. She, you know, stabbed in the back. It's too easy. Stabbed in the butt cheek? Hey, I'm telling you, we did a little, say, encyclopedia, encyclasepedia, you know, one of those. So we can keep up with all her phrases. Cause I think stabbed in the butt cheek might stick around too. Yeah. I really did like that. So you feel like it's stabbed in the butt cheek is it's, I mean, this was, she was talking about that Stephanie was like her own weakness that was killing her.

It's like, if you end up like stabbing yourself in the back, that's like stabbing yourself in the butt cheek. Hoisted by your own butt cheek. You know, I think something like that. With your Achilles heel. Yeah. Hoisted by your Achilles heel, you know, and it got you right in the ass. It's just it's I love it.

I love it because, again, you could just say, you know, she's messing. She's shooting herself in the foot. You know, that's right there. But stabs in the butt cheek. You know, this is why you get so many confessionals. Yeah. OK, well, let me just say without now, that's a drinking game for us now now how many times do we say say in this podcast it's gotta go it's probably gonna get to about low hundreds don't try this at home and we know that eva got into survivor she was introduced to survivor by a college drinking game

yeah i were why why was, I went to college. Like, you know, I never experienced nothing like this. Rob, this sounds like something that you would have cooked up back before you went on the Amazon. Yeah, maybe way back when. I mean, I played the Survivor card game this weekend, but it was not a drinking game. Yeah, so what kind of things did the card say?

They don't say take a shot. They don't say sip your beer. They don't say, sip your beer. Yeah, but can we add that? You know, if it says something like, hey, you just found an immunity idol. Take two shots. You know, something like that. You know, the point of drinking games, I feel like people are missing the point.

The point of drinking games is to drink, not to avoid drinking. So all the cards have to say, drink, drink, drink. No avoiding the drinks. Immunity idol means drink. say drink, drink, drink. No avoiding the drinks. If you need the item, it means drink. Time to dark, drink. Award, reward challenge, drink. That's how I would have played it. But Eva, she really talked about that

in her preseason interview with Mike Bloom, how they had a whole setup and she won. She won Survivor the drinking game. So there you go. She can hold her liquor. So I do think that there is something fun about having to do survivor challenges while intoxicated. Oh, that seems stressful.

I couldn't even. Like, no, it's too hot. You know, it's too hot. You can't, yeah, I'm starting to sweat thinking about it now. No, no, no. No, please. Please no. Which challenge would you, would you be like, I just, I'm sorry, I'm trying to envision myself

try to do a challenge, drunk. It's not good, Rob. I'd still be out on Island. I think both Kevin and Kyle would have broken the challenge as it got, like, I could see the first couple of parts of trying to get the pot off the thing would be definitely more entertaining, but yeah. I think that both guys break the glass.

But you have a machete in a drunk man's hand talking about open the coconut to get the key. I just don't know if that's gonna work out. Okay. Alright. So, going back to say, our queen, that she has posted on Twitter. She's been so active on social media and I'm so thankful. If you thought she was getting the most airtime on Survivor, wait till you see her on Twitter! I'm so thankful if you thought she was getting the most airtime on Survivor wait till you see her on Twitter I'm so annoying so many confessionals everybody else is just looking up at Queen say on Twitter

I hate this so much. I used to be in the Twitter streets. I was in the trenches I remember people be like how do you tweet so much? I was like I have so much to say. There's so much going on on my timeline. And then FN Lex Luthor shows up and ruins everything. He buys the damn app and then like it's full of bots and full of ads. And so I say, you know what? Let me go over to bluer skies and green herb pastures. And I leave. In the last couple years, nobody been saying nothing on Twitter. These survivors been fine. You know, it's been a little messy.

Survivor 46 was only a year ago. Look, those people are a different breed. That's like the bone again, you know? Like that's really what that was. But I just feel like- We're back. When I leave- We're so back. Y'all wanna, yeah.

When I was around, y'all didn't wanna post up, but now that I leave, y'all don't, you know what I'm saying? Like, y'all talking again? What's up? Alright. Here's, well, Say posted, this is, says, my back hurts from carrying this entire first episode. Where's the lie? Where is the lie? Where is the lie? I gotta follow Say. Now get on Twitter once a day or so and just

like fire off something I feel like the world needs to know. Getting those more followers on Twitter right now, you know, more people. But I, you know, like I really gotta get tapped in so I don't miss all the Say content because that was a pretty good gif. It's Beyonce waving to the crowd and all of her adoring fans and, you know, and I think there's a lot to say about that You know, yeah. Okay, but that's not all because say is also coming for the haters Okay Look if you think you're gonna say something bad about say and you're gonna get away with it. No not on my watch

No, not that's right Okay, shut it down some people now She was not the grenade or not get picked last in our draft, but some people did pixay to be the first boot of survivor and for you say posts one Comma of you said I'd be the first boot one, comma, of you said I'd be the first boot. Please come forward and pick up that can of embarrassment you ordered and here it is, the can of embarrassed.

Can of embarrassed, take a big old sip. Take a big old sip, Shannon. No, I'm joking. No, take a look. That is not wrong. People were like, messaging me, I'm getting texts and DMs, Chapelle, it's not looking good. You got the grenade this time.

I was like, why do you think that? I was like, this person has, we watched Thay, we saw everything she did to save herself from being the grenade. She locked in a four person alliance within minutes, it seemed. You know, like if she's the grenade, then we're getting shown something

that is not happening on the screen. You know what I'm saying? Like there's a different narrative behind the scenes that we're just not seeing because from what I can tell a lot of people wanted to work with, say, uh, specifically the men. They were just like, I don't want to be first. So Yeah, now for all of you in an alternate universe, maybe where she doesn't have the idol. Maybe who knows? Remember finding the idol you talked about this earlier, the Beware advantage really did galvanize that crew. I think if she sits on that information like, oh, I gotta figure this out on my own.

Yeah, she probably doesn't get anywhere, but pulling them all together as a team, it really felt like this is our idol. People say it's my idol. No, it was huge. This really felt like this is our idol. Without all of the Avengers, we couldn't have made this happen with our powers combined. Mm-hmm, you know that we got a captain playing at the idol

Yeah, so yeah, I know that they know that that say that or not theirs But you know, I would feel like I'm locked in to like you have to share that with me Yeah, we're here. We're in this together. We're all in this together Yeah, is embarrassment available only in cans? Can I get a bottle of embarrassment? You know, it really rhymes with my ears. A two liter bottle of embarrassment? I don't complain about this enough. I do complain about it, but not enough.

I don't like when drinks taste different in a can than they do in a bottle. Let me take you to Minute Maid Fruit Punch, okay? In the can, it's abysmal. I don't understand why they sell it. Oh, it's bad in the can. Yeah, it's it's not well Well, watch this. It's probably decent. It's probably fine. But then you have like the regular, you know, eight ounce bottle and I'm like Oh this this has some okay. It's got a little something to it

Rob the leader the jug the jug the jug. Oh They did the big one with the jug, baby. It's a different monster. So I totally agree. How big is the jug? If a can of beer tastes bad, let me find a picture of the jug, because you've got to get into it. You've never had the minute made fruit punch?

I'm telling you. I'm not a big fruit punch guy. Oh, listen. The jug ain't even the real culprit. The jug, that's one of them. But the carton, don't sleep. Don't sleep on the carton. As long as it's not in the can.

But yeah, I'm looking at a picture of the jug, 128 ounces. 128 ounces. Yeah. Can I get a jug of embarrassment? A jug of embarrassment. So you save that for when Say Win survivor, then we all just drink.

I'll drink the jug from the jug of embarrassment. Maybe that's the surprise we do for the least entertaining person every episode, we give them the jug of embarrassment. The jug of embarrassment? The Chappeezy to the most messy and the least messy is the jug of embarrassment. Well, Chappelle, you have her in the draft.

Everybody else should have to pound the jug of embarrassment on the podcast. Take a sip. Take a sip every time we say say. Take a sip every time we say say from the jug of embarrassment. No look she is a character and we are fed and I'm very happy about it. What else she tweeting? Okay all right and really honestly we could do an hour of Say's best tweets of the week. We just did that on Wednesday. That was the Say show. Okay. Why don't you say show?

Here we go. This is, say posted, here's live footage of me reading some inaccuracies about my gameplay in some of your dense tweets, lol. I genuinely love the Survivor 48 community on Twitter. Damn bad. It would be nice to receive a simple thank you for providing you haters something to watch. Ha ha If you didn't hear it anywhere else Club Kondo, thank formally. Thanks. Thank you. Say thank you say Thank you say we thank you. Thank you. Thank you

If nobody else appreciates you we do here. She is carrying this podcast on her back And I know she tired. I know she tired, you know? Rob, there's stuff that was cut out of the show that they were cutting out moments of say, out of the show because she had so much content. I read Mike Bloom's article from Parade, and in there he talks about, they were asked a question. I think Jeff is on the mat doing his like mat chat, I guess, right? And he's like, they could have a few things for sure. But the one that stuck out to me the most was Say.

He said, well, Mike Bloom in his article says, when pro's informed the group, most of you aren't going to win. Say pointed to everyone else and said, he talking to all y'all. And I, what? yes, yes, yes. Like it's like if Tucker showed up from Big Brother and they were like, go do Survivor, you know?

Where he's like, this person should not be doing these things strategically. Like you can move through the game cause you're good at certain things. And I think Say is really good at certain things. But there are just moments where I'm like, if you want to win the game, that's not the optimal strategy. You know, like that's probably not it.

Pointing to everybody else and being like, y'all about to lose. It's fine. Little trash talk, I never killed nobody. But you got to remember, there's a vote at the end of this. And I don't know, it might be tough if everybody feels like you've been being a jerk about it. So, you know, they may be really back edge a little bit. Okay. Listen. Well, I advocated for say to win the fishy this week, by the way, I don't

know what the hell is wrong with fishback. What is, what is he talking about? Like, oh, he wanted, he gave it, he gave it to Eva and you know He gave you all the reasons why he thought that Eva did a great job. I thought that it should have been say that being said Say had to take matters into her own hands and oh what on Instagram gave herself player of the episode Player of the episode. Damn, Sam, I didn't even give you player of the episode because you already did it. That's real. That's real. That's why her back tired because she carried all of this. Okay.

She's like, God dang, I got to do something else. Can y'all let her rest? Can she rest? Mm-hmm. Just player of the episode. One for one. Say, please. How do you get 21 confessionals and not be player of the episode? I don't

understand. How do you not get the fishy? You had 21 confessionals. You got into the majority alliance and you found an idol in one episode and Fishback's like well you know Eva and Joe got together like Steven, Steven, Steven. I mean listen it's it's a name that he could do what he want. But I support player of the episode. Let's say. And look, you know, when the say I knew say happy, right? I'd already voted. I'd already rooted for say I drafted say. So I was like, say is going to win the season.

And then I was like, say, probably not going to win the season. But when I was watching the episode, I was like. She's making points here. And no point bigger than this whole like crusade against air signs. I'm an Aries. I don't know a lot about what that means. I got you she was against all signs.

Yes, look, she not against Aries. Cause she too is an Aries and we could never. So Jeannie Autumn told me that I'm an Aries stellium, meaning that like when they map out my little, my chart, my full birth chart, I have a lot of placements in Aries. And so I'm pretty Aries, like I'm about as Aries as it gets, right?

That's what I thought. You know, but it's pretty synonymous with the God of War or something like that, right? That's what I thought. You know, you know, but it's pretty synonymous with the God of War, you know, or something like that, right? So I'm watching her have this conversation and you know, she's speaking in Stephanie language. Stephanie is talking about the astrology or whatever, and she's talking about, you know, how the different, like the different personalities on the beach are clashing or trying to see how they work together, whatever.

And then she's like, well, we're air signs. We're indecisive this, that, and other. I don't have a problem with all air signs. But if there's going to be a war against the Aquariusese, I'm in it. Tag me in. I ain't never. Every Aquarius, every Aquarius in my life

has broken my heart. Every last one. Every time they get a chance. Gia is an Aquarius and Gia just like be texting just mean stuff just out of nowhere. They hate me. They hate me because they hate me. They want to be Aries so bad. So this is for all the haters out there, all the Aquariuses out there too. Say wasn't wrong, she didn't lie. Get your head out of the clouds. Come be down with us in reality. Thank you. That was my PSA against Aquarius. All right. All Aquarius are bad.

One of the players in Aquarius? No. And this is just in your life. Yeah. Yeah. All of them, all of them, their air, their water, they don't know. They don't know what they are, what? You know, so, I don't know, that's the little bit of astrology I know. I know Aries means good, Aquarius means bad. What are you gonna do? Okay. Chappelle, well, say has also opened up the say shop.

We got merch? Merch, the merch is out there Chappelle are you ready for these hoochies are obsessed with me t-shirt it's actually a long sleeve shirt that's the problem if it wasn't long sleeve I would have bought that immediately because first of all why stop stop selling long sleeve t-shirt? I hate a long sleeve t-shirt. I hate it's too constricting. It's never, and I'm in Texas.

It's never, that's just never a thing. Right. I'm going to be wearing, if I need sleeves, I'm going to wear a jacket. But the shirt itself, these hoochies are obsessed with me tattoo it on, on, on the back of my head, you know what I'm saying? Put it on my tombstone. I just feel like if that's going to be like that's a quote that I can get behind. I like this.

Okay, $50, a little pricey for a lawsuit. Now, say what the hell. No, no, no, let me just talk to her. What? $50, are you crazy? This is up to what? Could have done at least 48. I mean, God, come on, man. $50?

I'm trying to support black business. I was gonna say black history month over So I don't even feel that pressure anymore But it's women's history month. All right, uh, then we got a out do outlive out smart Okay Still honestly, all right, and then we got this other one this we got a team say Other like this is like a what would you call that like an acrostic I think it is an acrostic or if it's not we just called it one yeah remember back when when survivors first started selling merch in these new in the

new era remember the early days where we were just kind of like we were taking a back like why is Carson's face on a pillow? You know, like that was the kind of stuff that we were asking. Now we're looking for merch. I think we got to rank the merch. I think maybe on the BNB, they might do that with Mike and Liana. But yeah, merch is such a big part of this. I think my favorite merch to this day is probably still Bruce's t-shirt where he's jumping off the boat. I like, they're very like Jordan-esque. Iesque I really like that but that these hoochies are obsessed with me, you know, that's hey Hoochie who's obsessed, okay Hoochie I'm hoochie. Wow hoochies

You're I I'm entertained. Okay Look, we needed this! We needed this so bad! With all due respect to our friends from Survivor 47, they gave us nothing! They wanted to talk about strategy, they're putting out spreadsheets... Maybe somebody will like go spoil the season or something, but other than that nothing. No, not nothing. Well we did vote out, I mean they did vote out some of the more entertaining people like Angelica De Gay with some content had she stuck around a little bit longer. On social media, on social media.

Yeah they were so quiet. We were starving. Yeah when I mean even in the game though like I mean come on y'all like baby Andy his back was his back was tired y'all. Baby Andy was the it was the same last year. He's like I'm all that I'm naming the episodes Yes, it's different where one episode Andy was like, okay I'm giving you all my stuff on television and I'm not posting on social media Can we have anything Protecting his peace and his mental health and yeah, we support all of that, but who gonna give us the mess?

Jabel, I gotta talk about something that was huge over the weekend in the survivor social media space because Twitter and the entire internet was big mad.

People are angry. Oh my god, they gotta get over this Danielle Reyes thing. big mad people are angry. Oh my God. They got to get over this Danielle Reyes thing. No, not even Danielle Reyes. Not even Danielle Reyes. People are pissed at the face of Survivor, the showrunner, Jeff Probst. People are very angry. And just to give you the the readout of how this all happened, I'll give you the play by play.

OK, talk to me, I don't know. Over the over the weekend, the Drop Your Buffs podcast Instagram account, and they do a great job. This is no no shade towards drop your buffs pod okay they posted online a screenshot of Jeff Probst giving an interview and they gave the quote when you list all of the greatest quote-unquote characters of Survivor a majority of them are men. Read it to me one more time. I need to hear that again. When you list... This was what was posted. When you list all of the greatest quote-unquote characters of Survivor, a majority of them are men who okay all right Jeff

uh what are we doing here did he sit down and do the math how did he land on this was he like no a majority does technically mean like one more than one more that's okay did he do did't do it actually is he correct like statistically? Either way either either way. Yeah It could be if you've made a hundred a list of a hundred characters and 51 of them were men in 49 that that would be That would be factually true with people were His people went all over I must have saw seen a hundred posts Jeff you are wrong for this. This is what I'm talking about.

Parvati Shallow took to Instagram to write- Oh no, the queen. Grrr. When your team is primarily made of men and your bias shows that, wonder why women don't become bigger characters and people then took and retweeted Parvati and it was on Jeff Kropst once again yeah he's put his foot in his mouth and that has infuriated a large subset

of the online survivor fan base. And with good reason, how could he say that, Chappelle? Parvati made some points because, you know, editing wise, there's a bunch of men editing the podcast. We know in the first seasons of the show, they had the women's day camp and the men were out here doing heroics. You know, it's like, I was I was like, what is it happening? They know what show they made. So I'm very surprised

that Jeff would say that considering if that's the case, it's kind of your fault. You make the show, so if you want the women to be bigger characters, you got to show them more. Parfity is a great example. This woman was barely in Cook Islands, right? Barely. Emphasis on bare. And from there, she comes back and she is one of the faces, she's definitely on the Mount Rushmore of Survivor. But imagine what we were robbed of when, you know, no disrespect, but when Penner was hogging all the airtime in Cook Islands. Yeah. Okay. Well, people are, people are, they, they, they saw the quote is like, okay, that's it. I've fricking had it with Jeff probes. I've, I did prob. I'm not even lying. I did not see this. Okay. Well, I don't know where you were on Sunday because it was all over the place and people were

It was all over the place and people were very upset only problem is That Jeff actually had a longer quote, okay, here's Jeff Cropes. Okay pause. Okay. Everybody stop. Yep You mean to tell me Cuz I'm on this journey with you. You're on the journey. Yeah, you're I'm taking on the journey. Now hold on This is one of the things where someone read the article but only took the point of the article that they wanted to take Out the article and they made it a thing. Yeah, bro. Get out of here. All right Here we go like now how is Jeff gonna fix things? Okay. Well, let's see. Let's listen to let's listen to Jeff This is from the Z 100

morning show in New York City and talking with Elvis Duran and this is a clip from the All-Winners Survivor but easy to find this clip. Here's the full quote of what Jeff said. The idea of just doing all women or all men, it is interesting. You just have to sort of really, again, marinate on it, think through it because the dynamic and the different approaches to life is interesting. For instance, when you list all of the greatest

quote unquote characters of survivor, a majority of them are men. Why? What is it about what we allow men to say and do socially versus women? It's, right? Well, specifically that text that said the cattiness and drama would be out of control.

My thought was, I don't think women and men are that different, but women get called catty and men get called strategic when they're doing the exact same thing. Wait, what do you mean? Wait. Jeff, Jeff been reading my emails. Like this man actually, he,

you mean to tell me he's learned over the years? This made me so mad. This whole thing made me so angry yesterday and still today. I'm still angry about this because this is one of my things that I hate the most in the world. Where we just take a little snippet and then put it out there. Everybody get mad. Everybody get angry. And he's saying like literally the opposite.

And not that as you said earlier, the history of survivor that is well documented, some of the bias that was, you know, towards male castaways versus female castaways. But Jeff's just in the right place on this. And for people then to drag him to hell over this quote that he's giving when he's trying to do what you're asking him to do this was to me just it made me mad that people just took the quote and then just ran with it but it makes me mad that this happens all the time and not just in Survivor. And it's the reason why, in my opinion, that, you know, that the things that people should be getting mad about that they're just exhausted because too many people made.

We made people get mad about every single thing that was stupid and out of context to the point where there's no room for people to be mad about the things they should be mad about. Why do you think I missed this? Because I left Twitter. I left Twitter for this exact reason. Every time I get on there, it's mad about this, mad about this, mad about this, mad about this, and a bunch of bots and also awful people as well.

There are awful people there too. But responding and saying mean things because they want rage, like engagement, right? Enragement. You know, they're doing all of that so people can get mad because that's how you get the clicks. That's how you get the likes. It's catchy. It's provocative. It gets people going.

Oh, you gotta get people mad. Gotta get the people going, Rob. And so, yeah, but this is like, it's not fair to Jeff Probst because you, like the thing is, like you wag your finger at people, but you hope that they get better, right? And this doesn't seem like something that Jeff would have said, you know, in the first 10 seasons, right?

In the first 10 seasons, he's like, what do you want me to do? Look at Tom, look at Kobe, they're the big characters, you know? But I just feel like it's been a while. We've all learned and all grown. Look at the diversity initiative for the, you know, the CBS has done. Look at how diverse the winners have been in the new era. Guys, come on. Like, let's just calm down. Let's simmer. Let's do, let's cite our sources, let's go click the ad, you gotta go click the link, you gotta scroll down, you gotta read the words, you can't just take somebody's headline, somebody's sexy tweet from it,

you gotta go in and do your due diligence. You do a lot of reading now in the new era, that's the thing. And in fairness to Parvati, she took the post down that she said, I believe, I also understand that Drop Your Buffs took the post down, but you know. You think they took it down or they were like, someone told them to take it down? I don't know. I mean, I don't even want to speculate.

I don't even want to speculate. And you know, and just to be totally transparent and fair, I'm sure I've done this at some point in my career of taking a quote and made jokes about it and didn't get the full quote, but I just think that we need to do better about, like, okay, let's just get the full story before we get, like, let's read the article

before we retweet the headline that's clickbait designed to make you mad. I want to talk about the actual quote though. Yeah. Was he right? Is the majority, like, a majority of characters? Look, I do believe, I believe that, I think if you did, this is maybe where I'm going to get canceled.

No, no, let's talk about it. Make a list of the hundred biggest, like, I don't know know what was the quote characters If you make the list like I think it probably does work out like I don't know if it's necessarily like Completely lopsided it depends on who's making the list But I think that in a lot of the early seasons of Survivor, you know though women didn't get as much airtime and so to say like it's not to say that they couldn't have been characters, but based on what was aired, and go back and do the exercise

through some of the All-Star seasons, where we're watching heroes versus villains in Patreon. And if you take a look at like, okay, well, who are the snubs, like, Chappelle, who were the snubs for Survivor Heroes versus Villains? Your list is probably gonna be almost all men of like, okay, oh, Shane should have been there,

like, you know, Ozzy could have been, you know, you have a bunch of people who are men. Like, who were the women that got snubbed from heroes versus villains? It's not as long of a list. You get into like, why is Danielle there? Why is Candice there? So, I do think that probably across the history,

I think that there probably are more men who were memorable characters than women. Not to say that the women couldn't have been, but that's, look, this is 25 years of television history. So I hope that what I'm saying, it's not meant to be provocative or too hot of a take, but I think in the new era, that it probably is, if not even, there's probably more memorable women characters that in the last in the last Five years of the new era like if you did it like it's probably 6040 that there's more memorable women characters Yeah, I mean that's that's why I asked the question because Jeff is saying exactly that he's saying we We them yeah people made Survivor, this is what

they were looking for in the women characters. They want, they were trying to tell a story, a lot of, a lot of these stories about these men who go out and they survive and they do all this other stuff. And they were really overlooking a lot of the big characters that were women. I don't even know if they were casting a lot of big characters that were women, because they weren't looking for that. You know, they, Survivor went through their like bikini babe phase two, where they were just like, I don't care if you've seen the show, are you pretty? You know, and like, and even with some of the guys too, it's just the guys are dumb a lot of times and they become characters for being stupid. And so, yeah, I don't think the quote, I think the quote is out of line with,

out of context for sure. Right? In the quote, in the quote unquote characters. In the quote, in the quote unquote characters. Yeah. But I do want to say this. They might, there might be more men characters, but the women are the bigger characters. The women are, the Mount Rushmore is like Boston Robb and the girls, you know?

It used to be Rupert and the girls. I think Tony is on the Mount Rushmore. The Mount Rushmore is Tony Robb, Sandra Parfati. They both, they both can't, Tony and Robb can't both be up there. I don't know if you knew this, but one of them is a sellout. But that's traitors. That's traitors. No, but seriously though, like Sandra Poverty, the people that people are clamoring for these

days, they're like, bring us back Amanda Kimmel. Bring us back. You know, like the women did what needed to be done. It wasn't as many of them before, how many it was, they really were. They tired, like say, they got, they're tired of carrying the damn show, Jeff. Yeah. So I don't want to spend too much time on this. This wasn't, you know, a funny segment, but it was just something that I really thought. Good. Good. I'm glad you told me because I really, I'm not joking. I think it was a very misleading thing to, to have out there. I'm glad you told me because I really mean I'm not I think it was a very misleading thing to to have out there. I

Really wish I could be like I saw it and I knew that I knew that y'all were taking out. Yeah, I cannot Okay, all right, you know like like let's let's just see how close can I get to the third rail here because now look You got to get people mad to get the to get the likes and the clicks and to get talked about. So like, that's why I just, but I also hope that I never get taken out of context. Like for instance, Survivor might be better if they cast all men is not something that I would ever say on the podcast.

Just let me be clear about that. Even though you just said it. Yeah, I'm saying that that is an example of something that I do not think. But I heard you say survivor. I'm seeing that's what I was out. That's an example of what we talk about here. You know, look how quick that was.

Yeah. Yeah. But I'm just like, I don't want to get taken out of context. I was a whole out of context Twitter account. And that account had my number for a long time, okay? Scrub that account, take it down, Elon, take it down. A lot of those quotes, first of all, yeah, yeah. A lot of those quotes, damn it,

were just me talking about television shows and all the wackiness. I wasn't talking about my day one strokes You know, like why do I got it? You know, it's just not fair. So I totally agree I don't want this for me. Look people need to take it easy on Jeff that he's had a tough week now He was very busy in the Survivor 48 premiere. Did you catch this moment where? Jeff is so busy calling the challenge that he ends up? Here's Jeff and did Jeff wipe out?

Wait, is he getting off the ground? Are you telling me? Okay, here comes Jeff during the challenge. Okay. And he is back here and did we lose Jeff here? He gets up up quick. He gets up right quick. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, stop the challenge.

Everybody stop. Jeff, you okay? You okay? Medical! No, Jeff was fine. Yeah. I saw a picture of Jeff Probst with Jordan Kalish. Yeah.

Is Jeff okay? Is he fine? Yeah. He did a lot. He was on a big media tour, but he was in New York and he was at the Survivor 48 premiere. And then I've told this story that Jeff had like a receiving line of people that he got to talk to, took pictures with. And the first on the line was Jordan Kalish.

And I was like, Jordan, what the hell were you talking to Jeff about? And he's like, oh, well, I need there to be a purity test for people to take a quiz before they vote for Survivor 50 vote. Oh, what? Okay, hold on, pause. Yeah. So Jordan Kalish got to meet Jeff Probst. I'm assuming this is his first time, maybe not. Okay, first time meeting him. And the first thing Jordan Kalish brings up is like, all right, now about Survivor 50, here's what I'm thinking.

We need to test people on their survivor knowledge or like their interest in survivor before allowing them to vote. That's right. What is he saying? Yeah, that's what he's saying. So if he's like, you got to be a survivor purist, like you got to be like, oh gee, survivor is the survivor that I like and love and that's what we're going back to. So he's talking about like pre-immunity, I don't know. He's talking about like medallion of power. I think he wants them to answer trivia questions to be able to vote for Survivor 50.

He just, everything he do is about trivia questions. Damn Jordan Kalish, you had Jeff Probst, you should have been like, Jeff, please give me a job or something, you know, like to get, tutor me, dad, you should have been like, Jeff, please give me a job or something, you know, like to tutor me, dad, you know? Yeah. I love Jordan Kalish. I love Jordan Kalish. I'm so happy that this happened to him. I don't think personally I could meet Jeff Probst.

Like, I feel like he's too shiny, he's too sparkly. I don't know. That's what I'm saying. Like, I wouldn't, I don't have like a survivor thing that I want to ask Jeff Probst. Or maybe I'll like walk up to him and be like, when was the last time you talked to GC? You know, something like that. Like, you know, like... You mean who?

Yeah, it was like, Danny, GC. You remember? I'm going home, my boy. Like, where you at? What are you doing? I don't know what to ask Jeff, but you and Jeff are, y'all are good now.

And he did shade us a little bit. You know, he has a survivor podcast to you guys Okay, so I know you all are listening to us, but there is another podcast on fire with Jeff Yeah, it is the one of the the place I may go to get survivor content. Where's the lie? That's true. Yeah number one survivor podcast the official survivor pocket. Look, thank you Thank you all, the leftovers, for being here with us as well. All right, Jafel, here's another Jeff clip

from his media tour this week. I'm not sure where Jeff gave this. On CBS this morning, he was asked about, okay, if you were to do a season of Survivor with all celebrities, okay, shout out to the president of kindness aka at Reality simp for grabbing this clip okay Here is how if Jeff was due a season with all

Celebrities were to do a season with all reality stars or celebrities who would you want to be on Survivor one person? Rupa one Yeah, I see you RuPaul. One? Yo! I see you demanding, commanding. Your presence is huge. You're a great producer, great on camera,

great host, great personality. I wanna see you out on Survivor. I welcome you to take on Survivor. Anytime you want, RuPaul, I'll see you out there. And I look forward to snuffing your torch. What about Boston Robb? Oh, well, Boston Robb, I mean, he's Survivor your torch. What about Boston Rob? Oh well Boston Rob, I mean he's Survivor Royale. Boston Rob is always welcome. I think Rob at this point would probably say

given that I hold the record for the most days ever played on Survivor, I'm good. But Rob is always welcome. Okay, pretty wild to have Boston Rob on Celebrity Survivor. Y'all, y'all, let him rest. Let him rest. Even Jeff was like, well damn, I mean, what else do y'all want from the man? He won, he's got most time spent, he got the show man, he got the kids, he got the, he got, we built a statue of the man's face. Bro, let him rest. I've seen so many people, when we were talking about Survivor 50, you know, we did our

You know our mock-ups here on our HAP about who would be on the Survivor 50 cast So many people like we need more boss around like ain't y'all tired. Y'all not tired that man is an icon But he got to sleep too. He got to sleep. Can he be with his family? Damn She felt what you think about RuPaul as the number one pick for celebrity survivor from Jeff? I would pay good money to see RuPaul make fire. Just like final four fire-making challenge. I know y'all hate it. I know y'all hate it. But it's something to me about RuPaul has made it to the end of Survivor. And it's such a threat that we got to put RuPaul in fire.

survivor and it's such a threat that we got to put RuPaul in fire. And Ru, Ru is like, I've been practicing all day. I got this. I don't know why, but that to me, that is the best timeline ever where RuPaul has somehow scraped and fought all the way to the end, the biggest threat, but the one obstacle left is fire making. And it doesn't matter what the outcome is at that point. Rob, I need to see it. I need to see it. But I feel like Jeff copped out all celebrity season of Survivor. And he picked RuPaul and talked about Boston Rob. He got asked about Boston Rob. He didn't bring up Boston Rob. Yeah, I'm not saying he brought it up. But what I'm saying is

that's two people. We have three tribes of celebrities that you gotta feel Rob who are our other celebrities? What do we got? Well, I think that Jeff probably wants to cast it with people who are the big celebrities survivor superfans Really because sometimes they cast people who never even they don't know Jeff process. Yeah, I've heard about that That's that's a little a bit of They don't know who Jeff Probst is. You know, I've heard about that. That's that's a little a bit of uh over represented Which celebrity has no clue who Jeff Probst is? That's the first person we got Yeah, does Ryan Reynolds know Jeff Probst? I mean, I'm sure he knows of Jeff Probst Okay, we gotta find someone who doesn't know. We just need at least one who does it who's like

Who? Yeah, like find like one of these like like Timothy Chalamet, like, you know, I was like, Tim, Timothy, Timothy has no clue. Timothy has no clue. Bring Timothy. Okay. So Timothy is on the, the broad tribe number. Sure. Timothy and Boston Rob making up the branch. I, we need three more. We need three women. I was the tribes. Yeah. Well, I'm sure there's many, many celebrities that don't know what survivor is. Right. Look, if we have Boston Rob, we have a male survivor player. We need to balance it. We need an equally famous woman survivor player. And I'm thinking we got to bring Saree. We got to bring Saree. If y'all won't let Boston Rob rest, damn it. Saree let her play survivor again. Let her play again. Yeah. Yeah. Look, look, if Boston Rob can be there, so can she. Okay?

So that's Saree. And now we need two more. I just want to fill out the brawn tribe. That's it. We're not going to do 18 or too much. We just need two more. Yeah, we don't need to go. We got a lot of stuff to get to.

We don't need to do all this. Yeah. Okay. But we got, we still need to. Okay. Give me the other two. Okay. RuPaul.

Who would I want to see interacting with RuPaul? It's Queen Latifah busy. That would be good. I feel like the queen... The equalizer. The equalizer. That show has been on for five seasons. Damn. Our back is tired of carrying the network.

You see how she does it? Okay. And then we need one more person for this, for this brawn tribe. Um, I don't know. I'm thinking like, we need somebody fun. What's Kelly Ripper doing? She's still, she's still celebrating. Kelly Ripper is on the brawn tribe? Yeah.

I mean, yeah. Okay. Why you gotta get, no, I'm joking. Yeah. Solid tribe. Okay. I think, you know, I think some people should be worried about Sarab. But for the most part, you know

Solid season of survivor. I think Jeff should have Jeff should have played out their entire tribe I want to hear other people's opinions like at me Okay, yeah, so one of my other new favorite accounts besides say on Twitter is Chappelle I don't know if you've caught that there is a few different update accounts about the player, but my, the players in the season, my favorite of those is StarUpdates at Starbase 48.

And so StarUpdates is only tweeting about updates about one of the faces of Survivor 48, StarToomy, and is posting out updates sometimes in the form of Infographics like this one where star updates tweeted out the other day Alert update Eva did not tell star she had autism Correct um mm-hmm. I don't know who's running into the couch. They were wrong for this? The graphic is heinous. It caught my attention.

Yeah, it gets the people going. I think I'm crying a little bit. Hold on. I just don't understand why you did that. Like, why did you do that? Yeah. Okay. They also, they posted Star's Report Card for the episode, the Star Too Me Report Card. Alliances, none. Advantages, none. Confessionals, two.

Two wins. I love this. Is this the first of its kind? Like, the first where, like, they have like- I think there's a couple that are out there. I don't want to say like oh who who had it first Yeah, but this this is this might be my favorite one Like this is like the the stock watch even you know like gotta watch see what happened

Okay, her and I finding out about this alliance. Yeah, not great. Not great report card showing that we got some spots You know some room for improvement for star, but I'm not worried at all. I think Star is going to be a big character when when Say is done, like, you know. Yes. An artist in the confessionals. Also, Star Updates had this post. Do you prefer Star to me with two eyes or no eyes? Two eyes. Yeah, two eyes. I'm gonna go with two eyes. Yeah. Yeah. I'm concerned about Star in the game. Yeah. You're not concerned about Star that somebody has made this account? Yeah. I'm definitely concerned about Star that

somebody's made this account. Like, why did you envision this woman without eyes? There's a certain group of survivor players that are always near and dear to my heart. And I just hold them close and I hope for the best because I know that they're out there on Survivor and they're dealing with their anxiety in a way that they've probably not had to deal with it before. Some people Medicaid and use different techniques to make sure their anxiety is quelled in the real world. But when they get on Survivor, they don't have all those tools and techniques and bongs. And so they don't get a chance to do what they need to do to heal themselves. Right? So I'm concerned about Star in that light. I just feel like Star, Ozzy,

I just feel like Star, Ozzy, you know, there's a few just like, you know, they're used to having some type of reprieve from island life. And I just hope that Star is able to hold it out and that Star has treated themselves since being back. That's all I will say. All right. Chappelle, in the episode, David had a way of getting to know the other players that were in his tribe. I would say three things about you you can tell about someone's personality.

What your favorite movie is, what kind of car you drive, and also how you like your steak cooked. Okay, the big three questions. Okay, favorite movie, car, and steak. How you like your steak, okay? Okay, it's like ding, merry, kill. Yeah,. How do you like your steak? Okay. Okay. It's like ding, merry, kill. Yeah. Yeah. Do you want to answer the question? Okay. Well, I drive a Ford F-150.

So it's a big ass pickup truck. It's four door. Okay. It's white. And so there's that. Favorite movie is Tough Rob. I think we have talked about this before. I think my favorite movies can Can't Hardly Wait. Yeah. I just... Something about that show... That movie, I latched on to it and I just can't stop watching it. It makes me very happy.

Yes. What about The Stake? When I'm quelling my anxiety as well. That was one of my go-to, you know, to watch. The Stake, I'm a medium guy. Medium. Just medium, yeah. All right. Yeah, just medium.

I know the medium rare people out here throwing stuff at me, you know, yeah, but medium, I'm fine, I'm fine. So, Chappelle, one of the things that I'm very excited about this season of Club Kondo is that we've recently added to our roster a guy to help us with some games this season and so much more. Please welcome Season 45's own Brandon Donlon is here. Brandon, how are you? Hold on, hold on. You're muted. I wish I would have fixed my hair and unmuted

before I got to hearing, but hey. Yes. Everybody, it looks Jeffy Qaust. It's a little big right now. We're a little large in charge, but we're good. It's giving Jeff probes. Wow. I met him the other day, it's crazy.

I said I was the first time. Did you tell him what you wanted for Survivor 50? Did you tell him like super fans only? Yeah, I said we need a purity test for when you vote on the poll. No, I just said, hey, thanks for everything. And he looked at me, he said, you're welcome. And then he moved.

He said, who are you young man? There was a big, I was halfway, I wasn't sure. But there was a big group of us who kind of clustered in the corner. We all just had our quick, you don't wanna take up time. You got people in there who are crying at the sight of Jeff, which I already did. I did that a year and a half ago. But we're here now because fun anecdote about the episode is

I go to the bathroom in the middle of the episode and I slam my finger in the bathroom door. OK, I'm dripping blood. Medical! The whole, you know. So one of the associates who's working the event very nice was like do you need band-aids so then I'm like wrapping myself in gosemite and poor John Kerhoffer who's only ever seen me at my worst like I catch like a glimpse of eye contact and he's like this fucking guy.

This guy can't do anything. What's going on? So I wrap up and I missed this segment which is you know so sad for me because I love holes. I would have had a audible reaction had I heard a holes mentioned on my favorite show. Yeah. So what I've done,

what I've done is purity tests. We're talking about the cradies. What I've done is I've asked many New Era contestants, their favorite movie, their steak temperature, their car they drive. And I'm going to give you the three and I'm going to give you two choices and you guys get to decide who those things belong to. Okay. All right. Now, I also believe that you've made this game available as a Sporkle

quiz for people to take at home. This is a Sporkle quiz. Yeah. We'll go ahead and link it. We'll throw it somewhere. Look on Twitter, it'll be there. We'll post it. Yeah, go to that, okay. David's last name is Kinney, K-I-N-N-E. So go to robinsweepst.com slash Kinney quiz. I'm also post the link in the description

of this podcast and on YouTube as well, okay? People named Kinney just carry in the club condo and slaps. Yes. Their backs must be tired, Rob. Okay. All right. So, tell me Brandon. Okay. So, we're going to hear a person, or are you gonna give us a car, a movie, and a steak option?

We're gonna do both. I'm gonna give you the car, movie, steak, and then I'm gonna give you two people. Yeah, by the way. And it's between the two of them. Friday night, I turned on Holes. I had not ever seen it. I put a picture of it on my Instagram.

I'm like, hey, what movie am I watching? I got more engagement on one single Instagram story. This got like 10x anything else I've ever posted in my entire life they took it out of context going viral okay you know like soft launching like hey you know I got so much engagement my entire like this is so like this is the opposite of a brag because I get no traction whatsoever ever on my Instagram. It was like, my message requests were like,

I was scrolling that so many people wanted to talk about Holes. Showing Holes on main is crazy, okay? It's crazy. Holes also, mostly main, men on holes, only two, only two women. Oh, are you saying, I think you're saying Brandon that most of the quote unquote characters in holes are men. Yeah, I'm thinking we should all do this with our favorite movies. My favorite movie is

Willy Wonka, which is an even split of men and women main character, both main characters are men, but that's that's fine. So you're saying the main characters are your favorite movie or men. Okay. Take it out of context. All right. I've seen the Twitter. Okay.

All right. So let's lock in. Let's go. What do you got, Brandon? Okay, is our first set of three. Twister, 1996 Twister, original Twister. A Hyundai Santa Fe. And a medium steak. Hyundai Santa Fe, I believe that's a pickup truck, right?

That is an SUV. It's a mid-sized SUV, I think comparable to a... Soccer mom. It's comparable to the CRV. It's comparable to the Honda CRV. Um, and a medium steak time. This is either for my season, two very good friends of mine, Jake or Kendra. What was the steak option again?

The steak's medium. It's a medium steak. I will say this. I once tweeted out like, Hey, about to have a steak. And Kendra from your season added me and said, you should try a salad instead. I don't think Kendra's a big fan of steak. I think she's a vegetarian. I don't see Kendra in the Santa Fe.

I think this is Jake O'Kane. And you'd be incorrect. Oh, what? Kendra's a big Santa Fe gal. She's always driving around. She's shamed me for my steak. And then she be out here eating the steak. We have the same steak cooked though.

Okay. It's a medium. She said it's medium depending on the cut, but I didn't get another temperature. Wow, I can't believe it. Let me give you Mitch to chime in. What the freak is happening right now? Okay.

Mitch! This is the first time we said Mitch's name in this podcast. Mitch! I love Mitch. I want that to be a thing. Hoochie mama. Okay. All right. Round two. Round two. Round two. Paddington 2. Not Paddington 1 or Paddington in Peru that came out a couple weeks ago. Paddington 2 from 2017. Okay. This person doesn't drive. They don't have a car. They don't drive.

They don't have a license. Blasphemy. Medium rare. And this is either season 46's Ben Katzman or Jessica Chong. Okay, I was gonna say this person is a child considering that- Right, I was like Sammy. I thought Sammy immediately.

I was like, well, he's a baby. He's like six. He can drive. Hmm. Well this could go either way. What do you think, Chappelle? Hmm. Looking for someone who can't drive. Or I guess they can drive, but just chooses not to. Jessica feels like a walker to me.

Right? Jessica feels like a walker to me, right? Jessica feels like a walker to you? Yeah, what was the movie? Paddington? The movie's Paddington 2. The second Paddington is deep cut though. You're good. Sure.

Back in action. I'm leaning more towards Ben. I could see Ben being a Paddington guy. Yeah, he gives Paddington energy. Yeah, look, give him a- I could see him wearing a Paddington hat. Is it walking? And that's correct. Yeah. It is Ben. He brought it a Paddington hat. And that's correct. Yeah.

It is Ben. He brought us a Paddington Halloween. It's getting that. Jessica Chong's favorite movie, Deliverance, which is the furthest movie from Paddington 2. Jessica Chong. There is no, there are every movie is between Paddington 2 and Deliverance.

It has never been released. Super salad, you know, a sandwich of its own time, you know? Yeah. Round three. Every movie is connected to its deliverance. Is that what you're saying? Either one or two. Round three.

Catch Me If You Can, 2002. A great film. Film I like a lot. A Hyundai Elantra, medium rare. What's the Elantra? A lot of Hyundai's on this. A lot of Hyundai's, yeah. This episode is not sponsored by Hyundai.

Makers of the Elantra. Yeah. And this is either. The sedan, the Elantra. Is it a two door or the four door Elantra? It is a four door Elantra. I actually got a year from this guy and I did Google. What year? It's a 2021.

What was the steak option? The steak is medium rare. Okay. And who are the people? Our people are Gabe from season 47 of Survivor and Owen from season 43 of Survivor. Okay. All right.

I think I'm locked in. What do you think, Chappelle? I could go either way. What you thinking? I'm feeling a little bit more gay than Owen on the... I could see gay being a little bit more like the movies about like a confidence man. I could see him being gay. Let's go with that. Let's go with gay. I could see him in the Elantra a little bit more than Owen. Yeah. I've been in Owen's car before, I think.

Was it an Elantra? I don't have that kind of memory. I think two other actions. I can tell you it is not an Elantra. That is correct. Gabe is the answer. Yup. Yeah.

I got it. I was like, that's Owen bought a brand new Elantra this year. I don't think so. Yeah, Owen, I think famously doesn't have an Elantra. He famously has a car that we all know and love. OK. Yeah. Which a Chevy Cavalier. Shout out. All right. Let's try one more. OK. We've got. Rush hour 1998's rush hour. OK.

A Ford Raptor, which is, I think, around the F-150. It's a big truck. It's a huge truck, medium rare. Okay. And this is either Sifu or James Jones. James Jones in a big pickup truck doesn't feel right. What kind of, what's a Raptor? It's a big truck. Who makes it?

A Ford. Ford Raptor. Ford Raptor. Like, why does he need that? And what was the steak? He's a filly, right? The steak is medium rare. Everybody that I asked, I asked 20 people, everybody's medium rare or medium.

You know deviation. How old is Sifu? I don't know. Do we know? I don't wanna find out. Sifu could be like, you know, 28 or 38. Yeah, you're right. I have no clue.

I think he's mine, bitch. I think he's 32. Yeah, he was 30 when he played Survivor, so probably about 32. So I feel like that the Rush Hour, 98's Rush Hour, I feel like it's a little bit of an older per... Like I'm leaning more towards James for the rush hour. Yeah, but like I just really have a hard time picturing James in a big truck. That's really what it comes down to. Yeah. So maybe it's maybe it's Sifu. Sifu also he like really is like if somebody was going to be like I feel like in terms of like his whole vibe, he does bring together the Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.

Yes. Yes. Yeah. Look, for that reason alone, I think we should go with it. I think it's I'm gonna say Sifu. He's kind of rush hour just walking around. Yeah. He sure does.

That is correct. Yeah. Yeah. The martial arts. Yeah. When he told me this was his favorite movie, I said that makes sense. That is correct. It's kind of like the martial arts. When he told me this was his favorite movie, I said that makes so much sense. I understand that kind of thing. All right. So I have a heart out.

I have to jump on a call. Let me get let me. Here's what I want to do. Chappelle, let's get you. Let's let's start Chappelle's Plugs now. And let's see how much time we have left after Chappelle's plugs I only have one thing to plug and that's recap kickback.com. That's right. You've heard it here I have my own podcast make sure you go to the YouTube page YouTube.com slash at recap kickback hit that like button and that subscribe button and tune in to what I have coming up next Go support recap kickback. Okay, recap kickback.com. Okay. All right, let's do one more

So one more. Okay, is there last one? Okay. We've got Moe season 46 or Evy. Moe or Evy. Okay. Do we have to fill in the... Okay. The suite is the movie Silence of the Lambs, 1991, Silence of the Lambs. Okay. A Honda HR-V, which is a smaller CR-V. Okay. And a medium rare steak. Hmm. Okay.

Does Silence of the Lambs speak to you more for Mo or Evy? Well, Mo can't jump. Mm-hmm. So that does bring me pause. You know, like, did she jump into Silence of the Lamb? Is that something she would have jumped into? If I couldn't jump, would that be a movie I watched? Do you-

Cross over, Banda. Yeah. Right. Evy eating steak. Dr. Evy liking Silence of the Lamb feels right though. That does speak to a little bit more of somebody with a PhD. Yeah. I don't know if Moe has a PhD. Yeah, I think I'm leaning a little bit more towards Evy.

I would be disappointed. I would say this. I would be disappointed in Evy if their favorite movie is Silence of the Lamb because I just felt like, give me more, but let's go with Evy. Okay. Evy. That is not Evy's favorite movie is Silence of the Lambs. Cause I just felt like, give me more, but let's go with Evy. Okay, Evy. That is not Evy's favorite movie. Oh! That is Moe's favorite movie.

Okay, that's what I'm saying. Don't let me down. You'll have to take the Sporkle quiz to figure out Evy's favorite movie. Cause that's it. All right, well Brandon, this was- So I was like, Evy give me more. Give me more.

Great job with this. Great job. Okay, all right. So yeah, hopefully we'll get some more games along the way here on Club Kondo this season. Okay. And by the way, let me just give you, put your up on the screen. You have what are you, Willy Wonka. Willy Wonka. Is that the Gene Wilder version? That is a Gene Wilder version. I watched the 2005 recently. It's better than I remember, but not as good as the original. And then right now I have a Jeep Wrangler

Oh two-door Jeep Wrangler. Wow. It's we're off-roading in New York City Yeah, and then I like a rare Full-on rare. Okay.
