Starting point is 00:03:49 because I got some feedback in Dallas, but before we get there, the floor is not lava. We aren't in a circle. we're in a paradox you might know him as the baby boy that is jackery atkins 21 is his favorite number but he's 25 he's a grown man jack welcome back to the podcast do i get a sound effect or not oh okay well i okay Boink Be when there's a good episode of Survivor I'm going to get my own sound effect machine
Starting point is 00:04:31 There's got to be a sound effect ass that I can download That was the one criticism Yesterday a dollar Shout out to Dallas at a time So many of the posse was coming up to me saying They love the sound effects There were two people that said, I think you should let
Starting point is 00:04:48 Wendell be in charge of the sound effects. See? I'm gonna find out. It sounded like a strong majority was liking what we're doing. So, Bryce, I trust you with the sound effect. I mean, I guess, well, if we all had sound effects,
Starting point is 00:05:04 it might be a little, I don't know if we'll be able to speak, it'll just be. But listen, okay. Next week, Posse, I allow the baby boys y'all can let me know in the comments next week who I should allow
Starting point is 00:05:22 the Covenants Oh, no, I'm working on it I'm gonna find an app immediately And I'm having a little speaker Next to the computer It's actually in your settings I just haven't talking Yeah, well maybe
Starting point is 00:05:40 It's in this Maybe you have to log into Joey's account and y'all have access to the settings. But Jack, we are back from Dallas, and Dallas did not disappoint. Everyone kept saying to us, like, is Dallas the new hub? I said, are we American Airlines?
Starting point is 00:05:59 Okay, because they kept asking, is Dallas the new hub? They're so excited that we were here. There were a lot of amazing people. Wendell could talk about all the people that were there. I just want to talk about one particular person that was on Big Brother, that for the majority of the night, Jack,
Starting point is 00:06:16 I felt like I had to get a swat. And I had to swat him off. Kianu was all over me like white on rice. I mean, I just was like Kiyanu. Kianu said I heard the britchers get wet. I said they're moist, okay? Kianu was in the building and he was absolutely amazing. crowd favorite uh my personal favorite i don't think the tv does him justice i think he looks
Starting point is 00:06:49 a million a trillion times better in person my only thing is i thought i'd be looking up to him because he just looked so big on tv but i mean him and rome were about the same height so it was that's crazy uh that's he's never going to come to any of our hey kiano i apologize on behalf of Bryce for that comment. You are a foot taller than our boy, Rome. That is crazy. So he's three feet tall.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Bryce, you do not invite a distinguished guest who takes time out of his day to your event and then jump on the pod and then call him short. I didn't call him short. First of all.
Starting point is 00:07:37 This is Rome. This is a short. King Stan podcast, okay? We love a short kid. But the amazing race... That's, listen. The amazing race was in the building.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Big Brother was in the building. We had Brooklyn from last season. We had Cat Dunn. We had Alex from this season. We had Bernie from last season. Bernie fit. Bernie was super strong. Dr. Maria.
Starting point is 00:08:05 We had Michaela. We had Danny McRae. Was in the building. We had Abraham. Oh, Jack. Wow. Let me tell you about Abraham, Eric Abraham. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:08:18 We love him. But Abraham does this every time. But, you know, Abraham has moved from having his phone on the side. You know, because Abraham, you know how the old phone on the side of your hip, he don't keep it there no more. You know, it keeps in his pocket. But also, shout out to Abraham. He had on a new fit.
Starting point is 00:08:40 And when I saw him first, I said, Abraham. He said, Bryce, I'm trying something new. You like it. I said, I love it. And what is so funny. And shout out to our good friend, Ryan. Ryan got to see Wendell see Abraham.
Starting point is 00:08:55 And Wendell said the exact same thing. Wendell was like, Abraham, like Abraham had a new cut of the fit. Abraham just shaved his head. He had on his church steppers. He held on some slacks. Abraham looked good. Okay, so shout out to Abraham.
Starting point is 00:09:12 He had the crop, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the crop shirt was just, like, cut right at the waist. It's like, you know, what all the young kids is wearing. But Abraham looked at good. But Abraham has this thing where Abraham got to get a photo. You know, this thing is, he's like, let me, let me get a, let me get this photo before I get busy. And it's so funny because Wendell, I don't know what he was doing. He was wrapping up something as we were about to. head over to the venue.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Whenton Scott, like his book back on. He's like wrapping up stuff. And Abraham, I believe it might have been like Kat and Dr. Maria. Abraham's like, hey, hey, when do I've got to get this photo? Come take this photo. I just, Abraham going to get the photos. If you need somebody that's going to take a photo at an event, it's Abraham. Shout out to Abraham.
Starting point is 00:10:09 I love Abraham. Shout out to him. Yes. Am I missing anybody else? There was Philip from Deal or No Deal who looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's getting ready to do a bodybuilding contest. And I mean, he was...
Starting point is 00:10:28 He had his tities out. He was so... Whoa. I mean, I just said, oh, my God. And also, shout out to Mitch. Mitch don't miss. Mitch just random. New York City Marathon
Starting point is 00:10:40 and I don't know something about Mitch Mitch had a little swag to a Mitch always has a swag but like Mitch Mitch was looking good yesterday so we had a lot
Starting point is 00:10:50 of people in Dallas for the Bryce of 149 and that's just the end of the beginning but the start of the middle because the middle then the end
Starting point is 00:11:02 because there's no I'm going to interject Bryce has an obsession with making portions of the tour. This is the first leg. This is the second leg. This is the third leg.
Starting point is 00:11:14 So I guess now we're at the end of the beginning of the middle of the beginning of the start. Exactly. Your numbers, guys. This is like the first merged boot of the tour. Jack, your numbers, guy.
Starting point is 00:11:27 If we've got 11 stop, this isn't gambling because Jack doesn't gamble. But if we've got 11 stops, yeah. And we just completed our fifth stop, what, if you were To make it a part one to part two, where will we be at in the tour?
Starting point is 00:11:42 I'd say you're right at the end of part one. Getting in the middle, which is the beginning of the end. Yeah! What was that? Is Winnie over there with you? What was that? I got a single sound effect so far. that was the word that was
Starting point is 00:12:09 you left to a bad start wait it's not working anymore okay that's good this is my sound effect I didn't touch anything audience
Starting point is 00:12:30 do we like it's a we had a good thing going but we're at the end of the middle and the middle of the beginning and we will be in also Trashy Annie was in the building Trashy Annie put it on an amazing performance
Starting point is 00:12:57 okay? At this point I think I might be a part of the Trashy Annie band because Trashy Annie and I have a number and if you have never seen it, well guess what? but you can see it next week. We will be in Chicago next week with a hoot-to in a loop of great friends coming with us.
Starting point is 00:13:17 And it's a lot of surprise, yes. And so Chicago always Chicago's. But listen, there are a limited amount of tickets left. And so I don't think you want to miss this Chicago. So you click the link at the Bryce and When Present, Instagram or Twitter, and come along the journey with us. After Chicago will be in Denver.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Denver, Colorado, that is. And from there, we also are doing our special 6th night on November 5th, the night before our Bryson Wend, Watch Party on the 26th, and that's going to be an epic time. Tarese Maxie, get out my DMs, I'ma
Starting point is 00:13:53 see you on the 25th. From there, our baby boy, Ozzie, next week will be in Atlanta, and Atlanta is showing out. There are a limited number of tickets left for Atlanta, so window what should Atlanta, if you are in the ATL area.
Starting point is 00:14:09 What should you be doing? You should be getting your tickets, Atlanta. Your boy, Ozzy's coming, and he's got friends coming, and he's got, you know, Ozzie's got some, you know what, Bryce, I think we'll, I think we might release some names sometime, sometime soon for Atlanta. Okay, so stay tuned. Ozzie got so excited for doing the Bryce that went 1249.
Starting point is 00:14:31 He got a new leg. He got new legs. He just has surgery. He's recovering from his new leg surgery because he wants to run. around the country with us. He'll also be in New York, November 19th. So tickets are available. And then that's just not it.
Starting point is 00:14:45 The Squid Game just released the challenge, season two. And some of our friends are going to be having an event in Philadelphia. And I say some, and I'm using that very likely. Because when I say some, I mean like a million and seven of our Squid Game friends are coming to the great city of Philadelphia at the fringe bar, which is right around the corner from the gas lamp hotel. tickets are available. It's a lot of things shaking and cooking and cooking and shaking. But one thing that is definitely baking.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Okay, I just got home from Denver and guess what was the first thing I did, Jackery? From Denver. You were in Denver? Yay! What was the first thing you did? I had to turn my crock pot off and let the steam from the sage roast.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Basque in the air because there's some things shaking and cooking on season 49. Now, mind you, here I go again, another hot tape. Did a lot happen on this episode? Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes. I'm asking.
Starting point is 00:15:59 I'm asking the people. Yeah, I feel like you were going to say no, but I feel like a lot of things happen. A lot of things happen. the crock pot is still crocking and potting uh not a lot happened but enough happened to feed us and i'm excited but there's just like so much has happened i have three things or three questions i really want to talk about but i mean i'm a just no let's start i feel like a lot happened but if you don't you know if you only got a couple things on your mind i feel like we should start with that no i'm gonna fall in line Jack and you take us through
Starting point is 00:16:36 well I'm going to take it over to you what do you want to talk about first so I mean it's just more of a question and I guess I don't have to go into detail but if you want to win survivor is it better to play from
Starting point is 00:16:52 the majority or the minority Wendell if you want to win you want to be in the majority but when you don't necessarily want to be in the bottom of the majority, if that's the direction you're going, but go on.
Starting point is 00:17:09 I'm talking about new era. Because I feel like there is something of we see these majority alliances. They tend to collapse. And sometimes when you are playing from
Starting point is 00:17:24 the bottom, shout out to my bottoms, put your bottoms up, okay? I am in bottoms up a lot. Yeah. Can I get that muggerie to run around and I get all around the rum, rum, rum,
Starting point is 00:17:46 tray? I mean, just like, Tray, I would. A bottle of rosé. Okay. But anyway, we put in a pause on Nikki right now, because she needs to be in timeout, but we could talk about that later, and it's always been a little Kim for me.
Starting point is 00:18:02 but um price is on one today jack clearly i like it i gotta get my energy up so i'm like just start get it less yeah i said brice i see where you're going can you can you take us there to whatever you take you through there take you through there so okay yeah yeah we're we're just Sorry. I'm so jarring. We see. Bryce got a whole new dictionary today, Jack. He always brings out some new words, but I think the success rate's been higher and higher with them all.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Thank you. So Sage and Jouan, we see in this episode where Sophie B and Alex get together and they're like, hey, yo, we need a swing vote. Let's like, what you want to do? You want to go with the Yule? or you won't go with the what's the heena and so we know Sophie B is like well hey Alex you know I think the red would serve us better and Alex is like well I actually think the yellow
Starting point is 00:19:14 was service better but in reality the true swing votes here are Sage and Joanne and they kind of they're they're calling the shots here like say it's it's General Sage and I love it but I am scared after what has happened it seems that like Sage and Jawan have shifted from the minority position. They've swung the pendulum and now it looks like they're in the minority. They were in the minority.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Now they swung the pendulum to the minority. And that kind of scares me. And I asked the question like in order to win survivor or to play an advantageous hungry survivor game in the new era, it seems that sometimes when you are playing from the bottom, you shake and you shuck and jive a little bit better and so I'm just nervous for a sage and joan who have swung their pendulum from the minority to the majority.
Starting point is 00:20:15 I'm worried for them now. Now streaming on Paramount Plus is the epic return of mayor of Kingston. Warden? You know who I am. Starring Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner. I swear in these walls. Emmy award winner Edie Falco. You're an ex.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Khan who ran this place for years, and now, now you can't do that. And BAFTA award winner Lenny James. You're about to have a plague of outsiders descend on your town. Let me tell you this. It's got to be consequences. Mayor of Kingstown, new season now streaming on Paramount Plus. I hear you because, like we said a lot of times, especially in the new era, to me, I get what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:20:56 It's less of a majority minority thing, and it's more that Sage and Juan. who are they've now risen up to the kind of the tip of the time they've exposed their heads a little bit that that they've made this move it's it's going to come back and get traced them we know savanna's not going to be happy we know rizzo is not going to be very happy um and that that rizzo sophy b savannah crew is definitely a dangerous crew and then all the hina are going to you know maybe throw a little the attention over to Sage and Juana, although I do feel like they've gotten in with that group pretty, pretty good, too, but yeah, I hear you. It's less, like, it's less of a majority and minority thing, because obviously you would like to be in the majority, but it's kind of like, how do you get there and making a big swing right now? I mean, I did love it from Sage and Juana. I thought it was the right move, but they're now going from low profile to, you know, big movers and shakers. So it could, it could be dangerous for them. we are we are all over the place but you just said they made the right move i actually beg to differ i
Starting point is 00:22:06 actually think they made the wrong move in my opinion they didn't listen to sage say hey listen it's this big old shark in the ocean called savannah and she looks mighty pretty she looks absolutely fun she looks like you could bring her home and put her in your fish tank but she's a people eater. And, and, like, they were like, well, Nate is the easier vote. And I think, I'm not sure if it was Dewan or Sage that said, like, hey, like, once we make this move, like, y'all know where our hands are. We don't have the disguise.
Starting point is 00:22:52 We can't operate in the disguise. We can't operate like, hey, we'll vote for you. And so, like, taking out Nate. was absolutely a safe vote. But, Bebe, if you're going to strike, you better take out that great white named Savannah. And so that's why I feel like it was a great move, but I feel like it was premature.
Starting point is 00:23:11 And I feel like if you're going to make this move, Bebe, you better go after that 7,000-pound big white shark named Savannah. And I feel like because they didn't do it, Bebe, I'm scared of Savannah. Well, I have a question, Bryce. in these instances you can go for a big great white shark
Starting point is 00:23:34 or you can go for a safe bet because if you miss that great white shark they're going to eat you oh maybe I'll miss yes yes but here's my thing though like
Starting point is 00:23:52 now you've missed and now Rizzo and Savannah are now going to be playing from this the bottom feeder and I feel like that gives them a lot more opportunity to move and shake and so don't get me wrong I'm screaming from the top of my lungs I'm so happy for Sage and Joanne to pull off this big move but I'm first of all like you know Nate is sitting at home
Starting point is 00:24:19 like how the hell did I get in it like it's like what the hell like I get it but I Like I, the, the fan and me watching, I'm like, geez, Louise, if you would have took out a Savannah, I feel like, now, now what they say in order to get rid of a snake, what do you got to suck? The head. Bryce, they don't say that. They don't, they say you cut off the head. Oh, okay, okay. Yo, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Yeah. What crazy. Yo, you got to, these fourient slips are getting bad, Bryce. Oh, crazy. Oh, okay. My bad. My bad. By the fact, no, you're crazy.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Okay. Who says cut it all? Okay. They didn't cut Savannah's head off. And we know. Savannah, Savannah is the snake that got Jake out. Like, you got to be careful. She's docile, but back her into a corner.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Yes, Bryce, but think about, think about Nate. This man was a huge threat. He was playing the game. And optics-wise, if you're looking at it from the other tribe, you might not think that like this is a multiple headed snake that they're dealing with
Starting point is 00:25:54 oh Jesus where where is that okay what I'm saying is I got a lot of work to do you should read up on the
Starting point is 00:26:10 Hydra Bryce all I'm saying is like that Nate is Nate was a scary player out there. He was so poised. He was always talking to them. Now, he didn't have, it looks like Sophie Rizzo and Savannah are like locked, lock, locked in.
Starting point is 00:26:30 But it seemed like Nate was always talking with them and making decisions with them. And yeah, I think as any, yeah, I think, I think Nate was a good, safe choice for them. here's my thing to rebuttal you with that right you're right Nate we I think we talked about the two episodes ago where I was like how did I not see Nate however I feel like if they would have betrayed Nate's trust I still feel like Nate is a mover and the shaker he would have Nate has always been anybody but of me Juan was his biggest fan the first day Juan was like you too Marvel I love marble they out there Uncle Marvel, two seconds later, Nate, like, yeah, that's a wine guy, suss. Like, he, like, I feel like Nate could have still going with the numbers. I don't feel like you could, you could come back from a Savannah move on Savannah like this. But, Bryce, now, this is interesting because I think there's a lot of, like, options on both sides. And I think people were debating this a lot, and I see both sides.
Starting point is 00:27:42 And when I said up top, Bryce, that I love this movie, it was more about just, Joanne and Sage making a move and less about who they went for because I do think there's things on both sides but to your most recent point Bryce now I kind of agree in one sense of like Rizzo and Savannah it's a tight duo it's the head of the snake
Starting point is 00:27:59 you gotta you want to cut that off and so that that and you know while Jelan and Sage have the wool pulled over their eyes it could be a good move to go for one of them but at the same time you're making this big move to shake up the whole game I totally see why if Nate is
Starting point is 00:28:15 the safer option, you just take out the safer option and then you open up these options for you to maybe split the vote next time or whatever. But to your last point, Bryce, I think that Nate being a mover in the shaker is the exact reason that you would want to get him out because if you leave him in, he's going to be able to recalibrate his position and like reopen up options. So this new majority that Joanne and Sage have just made, it might get shaken up. Whereas I feel like if you leave a Rizzo and a Savannah and they have an idol, it might be like, okay, that's an obvious duo that is still working together that has an idol. So maybe now this vote at the 10, they have seven, maybe they split it four to three. And then that's like your next vote. Whereas if they vote
Starting point is 00:28:57 out Savannah and it's like, and then Nate's still there, it might be, and he's able to get back in the mix, it might make things a little bit trickier. Now, I'd still agree with some of what you're saying of like, it could have been the time to shoot out of Savannah or Rizzo because we know that they're dangerous players. But I also think Nate was a good option for, I mean, reasons that Wendell said in general just making it, if you're taking a big swing, sometimes the safer target is the best target because you're still shaking up
Starting point is 00:29:26 the whole game. And Bryce, if you're saying Savannah was this, Savannah is that, what about Rizzo? The man was all those things with an idol and had an idol. Here's what I will say about R-I-Z-G-O-D. to this point, right? We haven't seen the Riz God, right?
Starting point is 00:29:48 We've seen Rizzo. And so I... We've seen Riz goof. We've seen Rizzo. And so I feel like, again, what this move is going to do, I feel like this move has activated Riz.
Starting point is 00:30:05 And so I think, again, Why I say they should have got the head of Savannah because that could have left the Riz God flustered. At this point, the Riz God still has his ammunition. He still has Savannah. He still has Sophie. And like now he has options.
Starting point is 00:30:29 And now he is playing with his back against the wall. And that's dangerous. And so I'm with y'all. Yes, take out Nate. Play the safe vote. But I'm just saying somebody that was, we are seven episodes in. I'm four episodes past my prime.
Starting point is 00:30:51 So I don't know much. But what I'm saying is as I'm watching the episode and Sage is just like, hey guys, I'm telling you all, it's this shark named Savannah. They won't see it coming. And now I fear when will we have the opportunity again? because let's just, it's day one. We see how Savannah works.
Starting point is 00:31:14 This is a fair. This is fair. Because, yeah, they are definitely leaving someone in the game who is going to be the scrappiest, like, if you're her being on the bottom of the totem pole, going to be the scrappiest one there. And now maybe Nate is easier to work with, but also if you're going against Savannah,
Starting point is 00:31:34 it's going to be a difficult... challenge so i totally hear you're saying let me let me add something they just got hitting they just got hitting the jaw that they didn't get hit with a knockout blow Nate's out of the game but you still got savannah you got riz and you got sophy i remember when me and dom got hit in the jaw they took out morgan when they could have taken out me or dom and that activated us we learned everything we had to learn at that moment now and what also we also like in the the game we started like thinking about how we can use what we have.
Starting point is 00:32:11 And now you have Rizzo with this idol. You have Sophie with a knowledge, knowledge is power that she hasn't said anything to anyone. I think there might be a world where they now come together and she's like, yo, I got this. It's just the three of us. Let's make this happen now. To be fair, though, now the only other idol Sophie knew about was MC's and MC played it. So Sophie's knowledge is power. the only thing she can take is Rizzo's idol right now.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Yeah, what I'm saying is, you're right about that. What I'm saying is she's going to get funky with that thing. I mean, the three of them do have a lot of ammunition, those three. And they have a lot of connections. Don't forget, Sophie and Alex are still, like, we don't see it a lot, but, and we know Alex is now infiltrated with Stephen, with Christina, with Sophie. Like, there's a lot of options. and I don't like
Starting point is 00:33:05 I just feel like next episode Joanne gonna be sitting down Savannah gonna say Juana's look at me Joana's gonna be like yeah Savannah gonna be like here's my book bag
Starting point is 00:33:19 go look for sticks and Joanne's gonna be like really like you know what I mean like I feel like I don't feel like I feel like Savannah still had like she's so crafty I could see her being able to mend fences And we haven't seen Joanne play from a power position before.
Starting point is 00:33:37 And so now he might be thinking like, okay, now I'm in control. I just feel like it just leaves a lot of variables and I'm excited. But now I'm just like, how do y'all let this big old great white shark named Savannah here? Like now it's like, now I'm like, now what is you going to do? What is Riz going to do? I'm even more curious to see what Sophie B going to do because Sophie B has told us
Starting point is 00:34:06 hey I'm with Alex and Savannah right now what does Sophie B jump shit I don't know there just it's just a lot of interesting things that can happen agree and that's what I thought was interesting about the vote is that I do think there's cases for really voting for Savannah or Nate or whatever I also think there's a world where
Starting point is 00:34:26 you know at first I was kind of thinking it could make sense for Sage and Joanna keep it going with Uli for one more vote just to get the numbers down a little bit and then they flip and then they still have they would still have the majority but just like a group with fewer numbers left but I think when it comes down to like Sophie
Starting point is 00:34:43 wins immunity MC has an idol and then the target is Stephen who's you know obviously the bottoms up alliance now I do agree like that was the you don't want to just let Stephen go for that purpose he's kind of your key to flipping over with Hina so no I thought it was great
Starting point is 00:34:59 I mean, you all were doubting last week with Jawan being able to pull the trigger and he did it. But I am curious now that he's made this big move, how is he going to react from there? Yeah, and it's also, again, it's interesting knowing who's on 50 because we kind of know, I don't like it. And it just kind of is what it is. And I only want to harp on it too much because I feel like my thoughts about it could affect other people's view of the game. But it's like, last night we kind of knew who wasn't going home. You know what I mean? And that could be the case for at least the next few episodes.
Starting point is 00:35:35 But in that same way, I'm kind of excited because we know the position they're in. So I'm curious to see how they maneuver in that spot. And something's going to happen. With Uncle Jay saying that, like, I almost thought that was a little weird with Uncle Jay being like. Yeah, what did we think about that? That was like a unique thing. Casting was like, hey, Jeff. We got some people for 50.
Starting point is 00:35:59 You're not all paying it out. See what you could do with them people out there. And I find it interesting, right? Like to know that Jeff said that and to see where some of the people's games are at, like now it's like I want to watch to see are people now playing to win. Are people now playing for the audience? Or are people playing for 50? And so I feel like it's interesting to see what happens now because
Starting point is 00:36:29 everyone is thinking it. And if Jeff says that to you while you're out there, there has to be something in your mind like, wow, I could really be 50. I want to say, and we saw a huge move this time, a huge flip. And I want to say, I want to publicly apologize to Jouan
Starting point is 00:36:48 because I thought that he wasn't going to make a big move. I thought he was going to ride this thing until they pick him off. So first and foremost, I love watching Jouan. Like everything that's like the silly stuff, everything he's done is hilarious everything that comes out of his mouth is hilarious but yeah
Starting point is 00:37:04 I thought he was going to ride to the end he made a big move this time we'll see how that does for him but also I want to talk about him in tribal council I think like I just think he's really feeling himself
Starting point is 00:37:20 he looked real confident and like I don't love that kind of gameplay like when you know you're about to make a big move like you could see everything you could see this big move oozing out of my men like and even the stuff he was saying like horror movie and I was just like and like his look and his laughs and stuff I'm just like yo it's written all over your face that you're about to do something to them or that you're about to do something that's all we've seen him before in tribal council not even know how to answer a question fair yeah but also again we we've assumed that he's been at the bottom of the Red Alliance, even though he's been diehard red, one would give that how much he was oozing with the power, this tribal, that he probably felt that he was at the bottom. So I agree, like, he was doing a little confident, but also,
Starting point is 00:38:16 I've been to a tribal council, and I do know that sometimes. Sorry, it's a little with that one. A little delay, work on the timing. But, yeah, I've been to a tribal council. I have seen what it looks like. I've lit my torch. And sometimes when Uncle Jay asks you questions, you get, it's hard for you to control your emotion or it's hard for you to.
Starting point is 00:38:52 So, you know, I'm going to give that to Juan. I don't need to apologize to Jawan because I've always seen it. him and I have been rooting for him this whole time. So I'm excited that he is in a power position but I am now worried to see what and where it can take. But I do want to ask
Starting point is 00:39:12 a question. We see this immunity challenge or this individual immunity challenge which I thought was great I thought was fun. It was like a lot of different encompassing a lot of different things. Then we go into the also wait, time out. Oh my God. What am am I doing?
Starting point is 00:39:30 10,9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.1. Can we take a moment to give it up? Thank you, Jeffrey. Thank you, production, for getting rid of Mergatory. Thank you for having
Starting point is 00:39:52 everybody that's on the beach, whoever goes home, is on the jewelry. Thank you. That was huge for me. I loved it. So listen. I don't think they're getting rid of it. I think it was a thing with Jake going home early.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Whatever the case is. It was an easy walk. I loved it. We were in Dallas. Shout out to the posse members because I was asking the posse members. I'm like, wait, is it meritori? I'm running around the bar trying to get away from Keanu. Just leaving a puddle.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Just leaving a puddle all over Sambuca. I'm sorry to the man they had to clean up after me. But I'm running, slipping and sliding through Sambuca. Like, I could not believe that it was just, you're merged. Drop your, drop your, drop your buffs. Yeah. Drop your buffs. Whoever gets voted out tonight is on the jury.
Starting point is 00:41:01 I absolutely loved it. Was excited. Thank you, Uncle Jay. Agree. I still wish, I kind of still wish they all just got like a merge feast and then straight individual immunity challenge. But it was definitely an improvement. So I was happy with that for sure.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Did not mind it. And I guess there's a case to be made to have this two-part merge challenge where there's a team challenge and then individual. maybe that adds a little bit of makes it a little bit bigger for the merge but I still miss they just get to the beach and they'd all chow down on some outback but we can't have it all
Starting point is 00:41:40 out back, man, might be out of the budget now but I agree, Bryce, that was great. That was definitely great. I was so excited. But then we got to this challenge, we see Sophie and Stephen duking it out. Now, my question to you is, later on in the episode,
Starting point is 00:42:01 I love Steven. Steve's like, you don't have to tell me, I did the math. If MC has an idol, if Riz has an idol, and Sophie say, I'm the next to go. Now, my question to you is, does Stephen go too hard in the immunity challenge? Like, is there, like, because now, you know how everyone, you know they look for a reason for anybody.
Starting point is 00:42:22 And now, moving forward, anytime you need to bring Stephen's name up, now you could be like, you saw what he did in that first challenge. He almost killed it. Or is that just the price that you pay? And it's like, you just go hard. Bro, if he knew,
Starting point is 00:42:37 you're on the chopping block, you better go hard. Yeah, you don't know if you're going to be sick. Obviously, if he wins, then it's like, well, here's the thing. By the next challenge, there's going to be other people who do well, and then they're also going to be like,
Starting point is 00:42:50 well, Sophie might be vulnerable now, and she won the immunity challenge. Now, I am of the mindset. I don't think that I would really, now it's easier to say from at home than when you're actually out there and like immunities on the line, you might be in danger.
Starting point is 00:43:03 From home? From the couch. But I do, I do kind of agree with you, Bryce where if you win the first one, now people are going to be like, well, they won the first one. But you can't really go win the next one because then it's like, well,
Starting point is 00:43:18 now they won the first two. So you won the first one. You kind of got to throw a few. and then it's just but you got like that reputation already that you won the first you know it's to me I'd rather not really win unless I feel like I have to and then you kind of could go on then you save that get out some other physical threats and maybe you can go on a run from like the final seven onwards but you know that's easier you're that confident Jack um well I also think in terms I will say this is very personalized you know this varies probably based on an individual and their strengths but these are like balance challenges, not my strength, I'd almost just fall off immediately and be like, ah, I can't balance at all, because that's a lot of the early
Starting point is 00:44:00 immunities. But later on, when it's like an obstacle course and a puzzle, like, that's more my strong suit. So I think later on, I'd be better in the challenges than early on. So I'd, it's basically, it wouldn't really be an issue for me because I wouldn't win this challenge anyway.
Starting point is 00:44:16 You know, I think you do have to, because we saw like Kyle in 47, He won, like, the first three, and then as soon as he's not safe, it's like, we just have to get him out, you know? Right. So it can be a slippery slope where you win one. You might feel like you got to win the next one because now there's a target. It's just kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Starting point is 00:44:34 But no, I think Stephen was fine. Like, you got to try the first one, you know, especially if you are in the Hina position. I'm just asking because I was just like, would it have mattered if he was the first out? Like, would his name would probably still have come up. So it wouldn't have mattered. Okay. Yeah, the only other option would have been Christina. And we didn't really see a bunch of Christina at all of this.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Even like in the Kina strategizing, she wasn't super. I mean, I'm sure she was in the mix. Like, I'm sure Al Bairson was in the mix, like making these moves with Kina and with Joanne and with Sage. But we didn't see her name really come up. We didn't see her bringing up a ton of names. We didn't. But when that puzzle was,
Starting point is 00:45:21 puzzling, and Jeff said, you had to push it, push it in. Baby, Christina said, I got to use what I got to get what I want. Christina said, bum, bump, bump, pop, pop, she was using everything to put the puzzle pieces in. When I tell y'all, Christina is always going to deliver for me in the episode, I said, you got to push a man. Christina was like, I'm trying. Christine said, you know what?
Starting point is 00:45:44 Ba, pop, pop, pop, pop, pa, pa, pa, okay? And it went in. Okay, I'm mad, Christina. I see you, sis. yeah no she she killed that puzzle um and even Nate I think she was partnering with Nate he was struggling a little bit like getting the pieces in and she came through and just bang like yeah where she got it um yeah and then the reward was more of a charcutory situation right sorry did I lag a little bit there but you can't lag if you lag you uh no uh shout out to sage I'm so I'm so fool
Starting point is 00:46:26 I could fart she said I'm about to toot but the thing is she also went on her Instagram story and she said that was not the tooth
Starting point is 00:46:42 they got sound effects they added a sound effect Wow so Survivor News starts using sound effects. Now all of a sudden. All of a sudden. It's a strange time ever.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Okay, Uncle Jay. They dubbed that far. Now, mind you. That's what changed us for our audio listeners. Now, do we believe her? Or have you? Or is it in South Africa, we're in the bathroom and you're a little embarrassed type of thing. I feel like Sage would be like, they dubbed that fart, mine was actually louder.
Starting point is 00:47:31 They had to bring it down a notch. Have you ever seen, you're not too, you're good at everything, Jack. But have you seen those trends where like you take a lighter and you like pass gas? Like, does that actually work? I don't know. Have you ever seen that? Wendell? I've seen it.
Starting point is 00:47:55 I don't know if that really works. That's almost like a cartoon thing too where they'll like, and then the whole, they're like, I think if you do it and you do it with like a spray bottle or something, you like, aerosol. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:48:08 and your fart like pushes the aerosol, and then it looks like you're, maybe that's what it is. So your fart really has like gas in it. Yeah, well, it's also like just like a force. Like it, like, is pushing the air. air.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Yeah, but, like, if you light a lighter, like, it would need to have something that's combustible. Well, yeah, I think. Like, I think that's why you would need, like, aerosol or something. But no, the aerosol, you've done the, you're, not to get into, your, I don't think your fart itself is going to light on fire. That would seem like a hazard. I don't know. If you're working in, like, uh, you're working in like that, the engine of the train and
Starting point is 00:48:49 you, you fart, it's all over. have you ever dutched oven jack maybe back in the day when dizi have you ever touched ovened what's that when you put the cover over yourself and you flagellate oh yourself of it wait how else are you supposed to it's like a prank you do it to someone else you do it to someone else You're just doing it yourself And you're just like Wait No, wait
Starting point is 00:49:24 I'm being so serious Wait No Wait I thought a judge of it Is When you do it to yourself You put the blanket
Starting point is 00:49:34 Oh for you Well it's like I guess the term Could be yourself For other people But it's like I don't know What kind of freaky
Starting point is 00:49:40 He is a type Of year on Doing it to yourself Just You're a freak for that I thought that's how I thought that's how you I thought that's how you
Starting point is 00:49:48 smell your own. Let me see. I do frequently do that sometimes. To yourself. I try to check my gut health. Nah. Well, I mean, like, quickly, yeah, but I'm imagining you, you're like, you do it, and then you're like and you're like pulling it. And then you're just there for like a minute.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Just deep inhale. Now you got bad breath. You're like, I wish Keanu was here. Okay, you learn. We got to move on from this topic of comedy. But no, but, okay, wait, time out, though. How do you Dutch come to somebody else? You just walk around with a blanket?
Starting point is 00:50:32 No, like, if you're in bed with, like, a significant other or something, then you do it and you're just like, ah, I got you. I mean, I'll have a significant other, so I don't really be doing that. But that's the, you know, theory. But the next time I'm over here. your house deck. No, no. Coming to your room with a blanket.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Bryce, don't try no pranks on tour. I'm going to tell you that right now. I don't even logistically, I don't even know how I could do it. Good. Or, okay, okay, okay, okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:08 I wrap myself in the blanket. I turned the oven on and then I throw it. You're like, holy shit. That's grenade? Oh, it's easy. Oh, I'm going to grenade you.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Bryce, don't, I promise you, Bryce. I promise you, that'll be, that'll be our last trip. Oh, will it? Because, Nick, I just was having lunch with the other day. We were having lunch, and I immediately started. I said. Are you passing gas? Because it smelled disgusting.
Starting point is 00:51:54 You know a window's response was, Jack? What? You can smell that. I've been letting them go all day. What are you talking about? Bryce. You didn't say that? You didn't say that.
Starting point is 00:52:07 First of all, it was you. And second of all, you're grossing our listeners out right now. And Posse, I apologize for Bryce's, as he would say, flagellation. Yeah, moving on from the Moving on from the Toot Talk Can we talk Can we talk about MC Finding Her Advantage
Starting point is 00:52:31 And Savannah Diving for it? How about that? I really want to work with you, though. You want to fight MC for these keys? Of all the, yeah, let me, let me, let me cover my eyes because. Su, Savannah, Montana, Uncle, janitor.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Okay. Okay, because Savannah, Uncle, Uncle Lucas, because you know, we all got that Uncle Lucas that keep them keys on his head. Okay, that got some thousand keys. Janitor, landlord, store owner, car dealership worker. Girl, come here. What the hell was you going to do with them keys when you got them keys? Yeah, it was bad all around.
Starting point is 00:53:42 She wanted them keys. She wanted the keys, keys, keys, keys. Girl Girl Now mind you This is why I love Savannah This is why I love Savannah
Starting point is 00:53:58 Okay That's the name of the pod Savannah This is why I love her Okay girl She is trying to make sure the kids Have a clean lunchroom She is trying to make sure
Starting point is 00:54:11 The chalkboards are clean But girl I say this every week on the podcast. Like I said, I'm four episodes of my senior. I don't know if I'm really built to be on Survivor because never in a million years, if I'm out there with you, Jack, okay, first of all, Savannah pulled right up on,
Starting point is 00:54:37 Savannah said, hey girl, what should you do with? And she said, looking for keys. Savannah said, you want some help. MC was like, bitch, not really. Okay? Like, that would have been the extent of it for me. I just would have been there to witness it. The fact that Savannah's mindset, yeah, they're back at camp.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Jawan hasn't want to, like, I, that would have never crossed my mind. It was a bad move. So it's a good thing that that wouldn't have crossed your mind. But is it, though? Like, I, like, I, like, ah, like, ah, yeah. Yeah. I don't know, okay. That might have nuked Savannah's game to some extent.
Starting point is 00:55:25 I mean, it's like, you know, even if you get the keys, like you said, what are you going to do with them? Now you've just made a big time enemy. You've just burned your relationship with MC over something that isn't really going to, over just stopping her from getting something, basically. she could she would have no one Savannah she would have bargained with MC
Starting point is 00:55:49 like I like again I would have been like Savannah would have been like listen girl let's go every other key what can MC do at that point right like because MC need like I just
Starting point is 00:56:00 like it just but again y'all say bad move I say the janitor but it just shows the level Savannah is not out here
Starting point is 00:56:13 playing with your little kids Savannah is not out here playing with your parents she's not out here playing with your grandparents like Savannah is out here for one reason and I think that that is what that move showed me that I was like oh wow like she's a great white Well from that standpoint it was fantastic
Starting point is 00:56:32 It was like hardly anyone is going to have the audacity to do that And I love that Savannah did it Was it a good move in my book? No, but I love that it happened. So good TV move for me. Now. And MC Kevin's so cool, too.
Starting point is 00:56:49 She did. You know I love Kevin Lang or what's Kevin? What's Kevin from last season? Yeah. Kevin Lang, okay. Now I love my baby boy Kevin, but Kevin, that's a dive. Okay. Savannah Doe.
Starting point is 00:57:11 that yeah and I also love how Savannah even tried to flip it like yeah I could use this ass an olive branch to show her that I'll keep her secrets
Starting point is 00:57:27 I'm my god I just wanted to make sure we secured the keys for you and to pull up like what you doing like yeah I had to take a walk, like. It's going to be chaos next episode, seeing Savannah move from this position,
Starting point is 00:57:51 and I'm very excited for it. I'm super excited because I feel like, like I said before, this is just day one of Savannah on the beach working with these other people. But again, I also feel like Samantha has truths. She's got people. She's got Riz. She's got Sophie B. Like, she's not alone.
Starting point is 00:58:11 And so I'm excited. It's almost like when the Avengers unite. So I'm super excited because, again, like I said, we haven't really seen the Riz God. We've seen Riz. And so I am excited to see how he will play from his back against the wall. I think he's really going to turn it on. And this group, like, it's three sharks. We know that Riz is a super fan he got it in him.
Starting point is 00:58:39 We have seen that Savannah. is one of those. And Sophie. And Sophie has been through all of the fires on the island. You got three people. This could be the three people that you don't want together. Yeah, it's going to be dangerous. I do.
Starting point is 00:58:57 You know, we gave so much credit to Joanne and Sage for this move. I also want to add a little credit just not only like the move within this episode, but also the plan that they concocted with Stephen as the bottoms of alliance to like, frame Shannon. I mean, that was a really awesome example of like something from the pre-merge bleeding over to the merge. You know, when you have a small tribe like that,
Starting point is 00:59:20 you can kind of create any story you want. Usually people aren't really going to question it. So I thought that was really cool that they were able to make that happen. And that really set up all the dominoes for what transpired this whole episode. So I thought that was really interesting too. I was nervous when they put so much emphasis on it. I'm like, oh, my God, are they going to like fumble it?
Starting point is 00:59:39 And my only critique, even though it seemed to work well, was like, why are y'all telling this to everybody? Like, I felt like, shouldn't you, like, take a walk with the Red Trob? Like, that was my only thing where I was like, why are we having this whole conversation in front of everybody? That was my only thing. But, again, it seemed to work. So I, uh, I really, I love it.
Starting point is 01:00:00 I thought another direction they could have gone. They could have, now, everything they did worked out super well. But I was thinking, like, you could say Stephen played an idol and just making, it seem like it still really is Oolie versus Hina and Jelan and Sage are still secretly on this plan but in that case it's like the Ouley's going to
Starting point is 01:00:19 believe like you could be like we never even flip like she played an idol and voted out or Steven played an idol voted out Shannon. Yeah yeah and we are putting a lot of emphasis on Sage Sophie B and Riz but I also feel like
Starting point is 01:00:34 there still is an Alex in the game I feel like Alex is he's just as battle tested as Sophie. I also feel like we have MC. MC has a lot of grit. I feel like we haven't gotten to see a lot of Christina. I feel like Christina's
Starting point is 01:00:51 a fighter. I feel like Sophie. I feel like we've seen the sharks. But I also feel like an octopus is something that is a mystical and a scary creature. There is electric eels. There are killer
Starting point is 01:01:07 whales. Like there are a lot of other creatures out in the ocean besides just sharks and so I feel like Alex I'm curious to see how Alex will maneuver with this I'm I really want to see a conversation with like Alex and Savannah I want to see how that will go I'm curious about how Alex is in a really good spot so yeah like no one's going to look at him for a while I feel like yeah and can I ask so given my given so the situation we just talked about with the bottoms up alliance creating this lie i want to ask you guys like if you're in if you're not those people and they're giving you this information you just hit the merge it does it's i guess it could be the merge it could be any
Starting point is 01:01:56 other situation where when someone is giving you a story or some information that you really don't have a way of like verifying if it's true or not do you feel like your best move is is, you know, do you do a little bit of digging? Do you and like try to figure out more? Do you kind of just accept it as the truth and just move forward? Because like that's all you're ever really going to know. Do you kind of disregard everything they say and just treat it as fake news, I guess you could say? Like, I don't know if it's true or if it's not.
Starting point is 01:02:31 I'm just going to like in one ear out the other and kind of make my own conclusion. Like what's the best way to handle it to get this. information, but also not like push too hard or be too skeptical. I don't, I don't know. Obviously, in various situations, situation, but I feel like this does happen occasionally. And what do you do? I think one, the best option is to see how it's overall received.
Starting point is 01:02:58 Right? Like, if nobody's really asking questions, everybody believes in it, then it's like, obviously I'm going to go with that. if I myself doubted it I wouldn't rock the boat Alia I would subtly drop some seeds
Starting point is 01:03:16 and continuously ask questions and I wouldn't do it I would do that for my knowledge in the sense of if I need to make a move on you I want to be able to kind of like have a little note to say like hey
Starting point is 01:03:32 I know Wundle said this but like early on like you know what I mean like so I wouldn't do it to like rock the boat I would do it to kind of like okay are you really telling the truth and if I do believe that there are infractions in that and there comes a time that I need to make a move on you or put your name up I will utilize that information to set your sale hmm I think it's a good point like what you said about getting a pulse on like the group consensus like if everyone's like yeah that's what happened or whatever and you're the one who's like maybe it's like maybe a didn't, then you might look bad. But if some people are like, do we think that happened, then it might not be bad to be like, I don't know. Like, maybe you're right. So I think that's a really good point. Wendell, what do you kind of think about that?
Starting point is 01:04:16 I think, I think what Bryce said with their group consensus is important. It's like, all right, we ain't pushing this. That's what they said. But yeah, you check with them on an individual basis. You just, you ask them and you just feel how you feel about it. But you don't want to seem like. you're skeptical right and you're digging and digging because then they're like yo something's up with homeboy yeah i guess maybe it's like if you feel maybe just try to get
Starting point is 01:04:46 the stories from everyone individually and like a lot of times if the stories don't quite add up then maybe you say okay maybe someone else happened and here's and just knowing that i'm gonna let that simmer for me real quick because then maybe it's like if it doesn't add up then maybe the new conclusion is like maybe this is just a close group close group now than what we think. And that doesn't have to be... And then you wait an extra night and you see they flipped on you,
Starting point is 01:05:10 now you really know. 100%. 100%. What if they flip on you on your home? Well, you know, they're more likely to flip on you, though, if you're the skeptical ones. Right, right.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Yeah. A quick question, idle-wise. So we see Rizzo debating. First of all, also, I felt like a fatal flip. and Rizzo's idol speech. But I do want to know, do we feel like M.C. made the right decision by playing her idol.
Starting point is 01:05:43 I just want to know your thoughts on it. And do we feel like Rizzo made the right decision by not playing his idol? I also just want to put out when Rizzo pulled out his idol and did the speech as if, like, he was going to play it. I felt like he slipped up on his words at the end
Starting point is 01:05:56 where he made it seem like he was going to play it. But then the last little bit, I don't know exactly what he said, but it was something to the effect of like, if I need to play, it. I feel like when you pull them little idols out, you got to be like or he was like, I don't know if I'm going
Starting point is 01:06:10 home tonight. I'm like when you're dangling. Someone else too. Right. But I feel like when you are dangling this, you have to say, well, I'm not going home. It won't be me. Well, we're so used to that. But I think maybe his idea was that
Starting point is 01:06:28 by kind of being uncertain with what it is, you kind of just like, this incentivizing other people because it's like it might be me or am i play it for wendell or am i play it for bryce and then it's like well now i don't really know i will i agree with you though where when rizzo's like i am going to play this tonight if if that's your bluff that you use at the final 11 like that bluff's not really going to work again going forward i mean maybe it will because you still have it but right you lose a little bit like just the value of your word
Starting point is 01:06:57 when you're like i'm going to play it tonight and then you don't it's like okay so he's just kind of full of it whereas if you come through the first time you're like i'm playing this, then people might believe that a little bit more. No, I think he bought himself one and a half nights. Just like how many wins, Jeremy said that I'll never mind.
Starting point is 01:07:16 I think he bought himself all and a half nights like this. I think he bought himself because you got yourself tonight. Then the next night is like, geez, I don't know if he's going to play this on him or Savannah. So it's like you bought yourself more uncertainty.
Starting point is 01:07:30 You bought yourself more, you know. And you're right, Jack. I think you only got that one. But did he buy himself tonight? Like he was already good tonight, you know? Right. That's what I'm saying. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:42 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. But I hear you. To your point, question about MC, you know, I'm not mad at it because we see so many people, people like go home with their idols. Obviously, she was not super, she was with Savannah Rizzo and Sophie. And so she doesn't really know these new, I probably doesn't know the inner workings of this new.
Starting point is 01:08:01 She doesn't know Joanne and Sage as well. She might not have full comments. confidence are going to flip she would be a potential target um also everyone knows about this idol because of savanna so it's like there's a chance she could play it and go find it and have a secret one for herself and then also i think um with the merge votes specifically all these new factors are coming together it's like let me secure my safety and see if the things that i believe or the things that i believe because it might be completely wrong whereas other votes it's like you've already to gauge the group dynamic things might obviously change but it's like here this is going to set
Starting point is 01:08:38 the trajectory for the rest of the game if you stick around and you're safe and can just really see where the information is at I think it's the merge vote especially I think is if you're going to use an idol a little bit um conservatively a little bit extra safe with it I think the merge vote's a good vote to do that just to figure out what's the new dynamic um yeah I'm just happy emcee didn't play no games right like she wasn't like i'm not about to test whether or not like get rid of it time and time again we have seen people go home with it and so again i was just like mc has her head on correctly in this game it ain't no point get rid of it i thought it was smart of her also to the same to the same point it's it's like in her shoes it's either joan and sage are with you and you are in the
Starting point is 01:09:31 majority. And so you might not really need this idol for a while. Maybe there's going to be another chance to find it. If you're wrong and Joanne and Sage aren't with you, then there's probably like a 50-50 year of the target. So just might as well play it, right? Yes. Yeah. And that's the thing. You don't have a track record determining if they're with you. Yeah. So you got to be act with an abundance of caution. So it's like if you're maybe going home like 33% of time, like just play your idol. Why not? Yeah. Says the guy who kept an idol in his pocket numerous tribals when I knew my name was getting written down. There is a world, right?
Starting point is 01:10:08 MC getting rid of this idol. Although her and Savannah had that weird thing, baby is looking like Samantha's going to need an MC, right? I think that there's a world. Maybe. We're all right, where MC. Also, also, like, we can't. Obviously, this was not information that
Starting point is 01:10:31 emce knew when she decided to play the idol but given the fact that sophy b has the knowledge is power getting if if mc kept it i think there's a very very high probability that sophy b would steal that from her so just getting rid of it again obviously mc doesn't know that that's like a factor but in in hindsight monday morning quarterbacking as brice likes to say it works very well because now that's it's not like they lose that option where you know if she like I said if she keeps it I think there's a very good chance next tribal Sophie B steals it and they play two idols on themselves like Sophie B Rizzo and Savannah so in hindsight it actually works out really well I think do you how cut throat do you think Sophie B is she's told us she's shown us do you think
Starting point is 01:11:25 she would ever steal it from Riz I do I do I think she's caught through I think she would I think it depends on like right now they're a trio at the bottom right yeah I'm not saying now
Starting point is 01:11:42 yeah so but it's like you know if she steals it from Riz I mean like if she knows she's the vote next time it's like okay maybe she steals it from Rizzo has to stay safe kind of just like what she has to do I do think ideally they can come up with some plan where you could put both things to good use.
Starting point is 01:11:58 And I think she would much rather use it to work with Savannah and Rizzo than just be like, yoink, like, I'm taking it from Rizzo. I don't think anything's off limits for Sophie B. Yeah. Which I love. Is there a world where this idol that Riz was holding was a fake? That he swings that to someone, and he got the reel in the cut. Well.
Starting point is 01:12:24 Maybe, but M.C.'s idol looked fake. Okay. I think the art budget's just a little bit. It's all for 50. You guys got cheese and crackers and friendship bracelets. Look at this idol I got. Probably makes it way, I'm surprised we haven't seen more fakes recently because you can make one just, you just, you know, find a couple of beads from the tribe flag. You got yourself an idol.
Starting point is 01:12:55 Yeah. No, definitely. Well, I mean, the season definitely is heating up, and I'm excited to see. Now I said it last week. Now, I am for sure excited to see the fallout of this move and what happens next. And your baby boys will be here to break it all down for you.
Starting point is 01:13:19 Anything else, gentlemen, before we close it on out. I feel like things are looking good for the rest of the season, so I'm excited about that. That's it. Oh, also, you guys shouted out the Squid Game party you guys are doing. I just finished binging the first four episodes of that season today. It is really good. It's really good.

Shout to our guy, Mark Levy. He is prominent in it, you know, early on. So, genuinely, this is, you know, this is not me just because I went to the premiere, whatever. He's generally really good.

Starting point is 01:14:46 That's a lie. It's an LRG, that's a live one, right? That's, Well, I'm only, I'm only correct because if it's that, if it sounds, it sounds like it's good. And so if people are interested, I want to, you should let them know. It's a live game, which is more fun. God, dude. What?
Starting point is 01:15:07 My what? God, dude. They ain't believe in us. God, dude. Okay. I don't know. I apologize for that one. I know that was loud.
