And we are very excited to have back here
the Summer of Survivor crew.
First off, man, a very, very festive shirt here tonight.
It's Mixmaster Mike Bloom.
Yes, I am wearing as much sort of necromantic content as possible
to summon the ghost of Casey Kasem tonight, Rob.
It's been a while since he's been sent off to the afterlife.
Okay. All right.
Well, the one in the afterlife and all right well the one in a minute of the afterlife uh and now is

room with Josh and you guys

and well let me also just say and we
are on
whatever podcast we're on
on Twitch here tonight.

I'm going to make it a free post up on our patreon
at rob is a website.com slash patron so you can watch the video there we'll host a video there

Then the posts that are for patrons are reserved for the patrons.
But you get notified whenever we post something free over on Patreon.

Yes.
What up?
Yay.
R.A.J.P.
Oh, my God.
He's been gone for years
An event long in the making
That so many people
Either have been anticipating
Or
If you're big T563
In the chat
You have no idea what's going on
You have no idea what's going on
And I'm old as shit as a result
They made me feel old when people
were like what's the wonder yeah i was like learn your history well that's the thing though is that
listen a lot of people have found their way into survivor via the new era and maybe that's the case
with the canon of podcasting as well so we're happy to bring it into a new realm let's shame
people yeah let's um let's getkeep. So, hold on a second.
Casey Kasem
just got here. He's locked out of my
house. I need to go let him in, okay?
Alright. Alright, sounds good.
So, Rob is
gone. Rob has
to go let in the ghost
of Casey
Kasem. A little
counterintuitive, because you would imagine that ghosts go through doors
but for the uninitiated yeah well not rude ghosts to be fair that's true what what do you expect
that for people that have no idea what they're about to listen to or maybe to refresh the mind
because it has been a hot second since this entire exercise has been partaken in. What are we about to get into tonight?
Approximately five years, actually.
Wow.
Getting really close to five years since the end.
I guess it's been closer to four full years. I found out relatively recently, and I also said this on a different podcast not terribly long ago,
that apparently we did a podcast series called a wand off through time.
A wiggle. That's the one I was on. Yeah, that was the that was our our COVID era.
Well, Survivor isn't on. So it was crazy. Totally forgot.
So it's been about four years since that, about five years since.
Hi, I'm Josh Wigler and I used to podcast about Survivor.
I'm an entertainment journalist who's done entertainment journalism things and once
upon a time i used to go out to location and talk to jeffrey probst and the various survivor players
and i would talk to rob about survivor we did the evolution of strategy which is a 30 season epic
going over the first 30 seasons of survivor that you could probably get on what? Rob, patreon.com slash RHAP.
Is that correct? You know what?
That's a great question. It's a great question.
It's a great idea.
We're trying to get it up on Patreon.
It's available somewhere.
Rob's website.com
slash shop.
Yes. And so once
upon a time we did that and then
I went... Now 10 years old. now it's 10 years old recording.
So a decade ago,
old or talk about time.
A decade ago,
we started it.
And then,
uh,
over the course of making the evolution of strategy,
I fell in love,
uh,
folks,
I fell in love,
uh,
with,
uh,
with an absolute,
with an absolute,
with an absolute dish called wanda wanda shirk
uh is her name and she is we i think we can call her the first one out of survivor palau
even though it's technically jonathan more memorable one i think jonathan goes first but
i want to call it wanda and i didn't her at first, but over the course of recording the evolution of strategy, I really fell in love with Wanda. And she became my spirit animal as we proceeded through many years of Survivor podcasting together, including during a podcast series called The Wiggle Room, in which every week Rob and I would talk about Survivor and conduct the Wandoff, which was a song parody competition in which you out there in RHAP land submitted your song parodies about every single week of Survivor to the wiggle room to be judged.
Not by me, not by Rob and not even by Wanda Shirk herself,
but by the ghost of Casey Kasem, Rob.
Was Casey judging them or was he just hosting?
No, he judged them.
He put top fives in.
I think he judged them internally.
Yeah.
He judged them internally.
He would rate them.
He would put them in a top five status.
Then you out there in
rhap land would vote on the winner and the winner of the wand off each and every week got one of
these guys let me just just for the twitch for the twitch channel streaming peeps this is a mint
condition wigglers wombats hat Still with the Otto sticker on.
It's a snap, baby.
Otto Hightower?
We got the orange Wiggler's Wombats.
And like, I think it's probably athletic narrow would be my guess.
But I don't know that for certain.
Indeed, I'm both athletic and narrow.
This is the Wiggler's Wombats orange font on a navy blue cap.
Really, if you can believe it, kids, come in closer.
Once upon a time, one of the single most coveted items in all of Survivor Nation.
You wouldn't believe it when Dr. Mike burned one.
Shannon, is that right?
It is definitely right.
Because what happened was I won, I think it was the second ever Wander.
Yeah.
Yeah, week two and
then i never won again yeah and i think you gave me a cap yeah you gave it you said oh you said
did you give me one or did you say you would um well shannon do you not have one because either
i didn't give it to you or you lost it and so now i don't move since then i don't i don't particularly
feel good about either of those but i feel i don't think I've lost it. I don't particularly feel good about either of those, but I feel worse if you lost it.
I don't think you gave me a cap.
Because if you did, I'd know where it is.
I don't remember.
And how would you have gotten it to me?
Through the mail.
Yeah, I don't remember that.
Or one of the times you were in the United States.
Either way, this was the prize.
You would win one of these, Wiggler's Wombats hats.
And then we stopped doing it
Wandoff went away
then Wandoff came back for the final
Wandoff and then apparently yeah we did the
wiggle through time and that was like the actual
final Wandoff and
we did a little, we Wandoffed a little
tiny bit in Survivor 41
at the end of Survivor 41. Mini
Wandoff. Yeah it was like monthly
check-ins if I'm remembering. Yes.
We did monthly check-ins on the Wanda
for Survivor 41, which was
until recently the only new era
season of Survivor that I had seen.
I'd walked away from Survivor
and then, you know, was focusing on
Post Show Recaps, which is a scripted podcast
TV network where we're talking about scripted
podcasting. But now Post Show Recaps,
much like the Wanda is're talking about scripted podcasting. But now, Post Show Recaps, much like the Wandoff, is over. But scripted TV podcasting, much like the Wandoff, is back on RHAP. And so
as part of the launch of RHAP, we know scripted TV. Rob C. and I talked about a little dragon show
called House of the dragon on a little
podcast that maybe you don't know about folks called house of the mermaid
dragon.
And on house of the mermaid dragon,
it's like a,
it was like a survivor,
a survivor game of Thrones mullet,
a business in the front survivor party in the back.
Mermaid dragon.
That's it.
And that's a reference i now understand because house of the mermaid dragon was a podcast where we talked about house of the dragon season two for
about 30 minutes and then for like 20 minutes we talked about survivor 46 which i have now seen
it was really i mean i guess this is the experience of the fan most people watch the whole season of
survivor don't podcast any minutes of it uh i'm not sure for you you know the amount of time that you put into watching
survivor and the amount of time we spent talking about it like i think it was a little disproportionate
yeah i think well josh has really i think set himself up as like i am now a survivor ultra
casual i would still say you're still maybe a level above it considering that you put as to
rob's point a non-zero amount of minutes into talking about survival yeah basis josh i've messaged this to josh once he's never gonna be
a casual it's in his blood it's like my friend who was ultra religious it's like a midichlorian
yeah i think yeah and now she's not religious but it's still like she like it's in her you know like
you always have that in him well so i walked away from survivor i'd like i would stay like apprised
of survivor uh like you know kind of loosely and like i would get i would stay in touch with people
um in the survivor space and like a lot of like my friends in the survivor space also were either
um you know like kind of casual or maybe not even watching at all for instance actually wanda herself she and i text
still fairly frequently uh and like she she wasn't watching the show but she used to like read the
social media and stuff and then i think it was when was for when was survivor 43 a couple years
the fall of 2022 so in the fall of 2022 is when i got this voicemail from her. If you want to just give this a quick listen.
Oh.
Survivor 41.
And Survivor 42.
Brownie.
I know the names of both the winners.
But someone's gonna have to tell me
who the fuck is
who the fuck is
this guy Gabe Lowe
I don't know if this is a radio edit or that
I can tell you who Gabe Lowe was
so she was confused on that
and I had to explain to her like yeah
there's a guy apparently who won
what was he he was like a crocodile or something
like that
so like there's an alligator.
So like there was an hour,
an hour Gabler.
Uh,
so I had to tell Wanda about,
about that.
She also had questions about some of like the new era twist.
She left me this voicemail once.
I played my shot in the dark.
And now I'm safe.
This twist has a bad name
I shot my shot to stay in the game
Mike and Shannon, will you please explain
Cause I think this twist
So lame, that's just freaking lame.
Thank you.
No, thank you. Yeah, and then she calls who i am
she hangs out with me i had the exact same reaction of like i didn't realize i was on a
first name basis with wanda that is crazy yeah a couple years ago she knew that i would be on
this podcast with you guys and maybe you'd be able to explain what a shot in the dark is so
anyway like so i've stayed like plugged in with a couple of the people, but I've mostly been plugged out. But then I plugged into Survivor 46 alongside Rob
this past summer, and
I'm
kind of into it again.
I don't know what all the way back
looks like. There's so many of
you doing Survivor stuff now.
Where would I even fit in?
Stop it.
I took your place. You can take it right back.
He's relapsing
they say in the chat folks you don't
know yes it's
happening but like I
don't know it was fun I had a good time
so now I know who Kenzie is
I know Q who's Shannon's
fave
and I would say he's
if I don't say he's my fave that's
a big mistake I know that big mistake he if I if I don't say he's my fave, that's a that's a big mistake.
I know that mistake, you know, you know, I understand that mistake.
You shouldn't have done that. Yeah. And so, like, I'm I'm back in.
I'm enjoying this. And so I'm thrilled to be here at least for one night only for a new era.
Wanda that I have to say I will only tangentially
understand most of the songs
that we're going to be playing.
We'll see what we can explain.
We'll definitely try
and explain it to you.
There'll be some fun history
or we could just
to Wanda's point
let it linger
and just have you
live without context
as if you did not
fall out of the coconut.
I kind of love that.
I kind of love that.
We can act it out.
Faster than going back
and watching the old episodes.
Yeah.
Okay. So if there's any you have any questions along the way.
That was like a Deadpool level of exposition, by the way.
I'm just trying to catch people up on what Rob can attest to
is a very, among the single most convoluted,
lore-heavy pieces of RHAP mythology is the one.
It was important. I think that you should watch 42, but we'll,
we'll discuss.
Before you go any further, this is Wanda.
And you're in my arena if you need to, you can straight up leave here.
It would make me so happy for the rest of my life If you'd shut the shirt off and just eat your damn rice
It's the wand off
It's the wand off forever if you need to
You can straight up leave here
But it'll make you so happy for the rest of your life
If you turn the songs off
Then turn out to me nice
You ought to know right now
Before you go any further It's the wand off and turn out to me nice. You want to know right now. Turn out to me nice.
Before you go any further, it's the one song.
It'll be here forever.
I don't know.
Oh, my God.
We back.
How much of this podcast is just going to be aggressive headbanging?
You didn't exposition the theme song.
Yeah, that's the point. Yeah. Explain it to the
people. No. Remind
me why we did Turn Out to Me Nice.
Was that an Abby Maria thing? No, that was
coming up soon.
Oh, yeah. I was going to say
the person who might have been the source
of the quote might have a
thing to say about it.
Hold on. Okay.
We have here.
New era wand off.
And we're very excited to get into everything here tonight.
We had about 40 submissions that came in.
And so very busy day here at RHAP.
Casey Kasem is downstairs.
He was catching up with Nicole.
Did you let him in?
Yeah, I let him in, but he was catching up with Nicole.
He's like, oh, he's talking about the kids got big and everything.
Is Casey Kasem going to cuck your wife, Rob?
I mean, that wasn't an idea that was going through my head, Mike.
No, no one was.
We have a conversation.
He was sweetly catching up
about how the kids had grown up.
I can't believe you just put
your full bloom filth
on the ghost of Casey Kasem.
Oh, well, there's a reason why he is.
No, no.
That's the reason why he has
unfinished business.
No, no.
We are not talking about
the ghost of Casey Kasem
cuckolding anyone.
That's not part of this.
Let alone the first lady who cuckolded us. We're not cuckolding anyone. That's not part of this. Let alone the first lady.
We're not cuckolding anyone
here. No.
Oh my God, what an insult to his memory.
The wand off is not
for cuckolding.
Can we get that on a hat?
Yeah.
We should have two versions of it.
It's Winkler's strong bats,
not Casey's cuckold.
I do apologize, Rob.
I did not mean to say that Casey Kasem was in any way.
That's okay.
I don't even know if he watches House of the Dragon,
so I don't know if he would even be able to.
But, okay.
So, we've got a lot to get to today.
Again, that's Casey Kasem.
It looks like he's here.
Don't worry, Casey.
Nobody has said anything inappropriate about you.
Where were you, though?
He's here.
He's ready to channel in
and take over my body as he does.
That's the only body in this house
he's taking over, Mike.
Okay?
I guess it is fair to say
that Casey kind of cuckolds
the viewer.
Yeah, if he doesn't
leave my body
at some point.
I feel like I opened
Pandora's box.
I think logistically
what's happening is
if Casey possesses Rob
and so Casey's now
in Rob's body,
isn't he not cuckolding
the RHAP
listenership hmm I think
that's how it works I didn't think
that's where you were going and I'm glad it's where you went
and I now want to get off this train
okay well unfortunately
the train just left the station
folks
because the wand off is fully back
and it is out of control already
Alright
In 20 minutes and we haven't even played any of the Wanda
Yeah let's go ahead and welcome in
The host of the Wanda
It's Casey Kasem
I can't believe
What I've been hearing
Yeah sorry Casey
I know that they don't have
Cuckolding in heaven
Actually Josh That's where you're wrong Casey I know that they don't have cuckolding in heaven actually
Josh that's where you're wrong
oh no
oh lord
it wouldn't be heaven if you couldn't
somebody
oh Casey
Casem
wow I'm done
Casey alright well
Mike's out Shannon's out. Shannon's
out. And it's just us like
old times, baby. Casey Kasem's
my new favorite person.
All right.
I, too, am a man.
Uh-huh. Yeah.
My God. Casey, are you one of my ancestors?
Raro is a man whore, too.
Like a DNA test. Turns out I'm 100%
that Kasem. Wow. Mike and I. This is what was in are too. Like a DNA test. Turns out I'm 100% that Kasem. Wow.
Mike and I.
This is what was in the blood.
We both love to talk.
And both love.
Yes.
Zoinks.
Yeah.
Hey, Casey.
So how have you been?
It's been, I guess, probably for us, it's been like almost like four years now at this point.
Three years? Josh, I've
been so good. Been waiting
to get back on here
for a new era Wandoff.
Casey, have you been keeping
up? Have you been watching the show? We've got so much
to catch you up on. Casey,
did you watch 42? I've watched
everything up in heaven.
Yeah.
Do they have Paramount Plus in heaven, Casey?
Yeah.
Mike, heaven is so freaking cool
that they've got Paramount Plus with Showtime.
Oh, shit.
No way.
And do you get the episodes early
or is it just when they air for us?
We've actually seen all of Survivor Future.
Okay.
How is it? Is it good? If you think it's crazy
now,
just wait. Can you give us the
craziest twist that they're going to introduce in the
future? At some point,
Two Tribes.
Whoa.
Stop right there.
Wow. I don't believe it. You haven't seen the future. They would never. Alright. Stop right there. Wow. I don't believe it.
You haven't seen the future.
They would never.
No.
All right.
Wow.
First, I have great appreciation for all the people that sent in their wand offs.
Oh, here it is.
It went above and beyond.
Wrote in, dear Casey.
Oh, no.
I know that.
Yeah.
Here are the wand offs.
Yes.
And then.
And I know like Mike. Mike right now is being like, oh, I know that. The Wandoffs. Yes. And then and I know like Mike, Mike right
now is being like, oh, this is such a sweet moment.
Whereas like me, a trained Wandoff
professional knows that we're in disclaimer
territory right now. Oh, no.
It's a disclaimer. All the Wandoffs
came in with nothing
but love. Yeah, that's right.
Yep. And then what happened?
Cut down the list.
No, she has to.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So mean.
Yeah.
So mean and lying.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sam did that.
Is this where we reveal that Sam was Pineapple Boy 37?
The whole time?
Yeah.
Every well-meaning operation needs a fall guy.
Wow.
Sam's in the private chat saying I hate you so much.
Sam is also
camera on in the background
doing...
Did he have to?
Did he have to give the finger?
Did he have to?
Okay, I...
I am ready to bring you
the Wandoff Honorable Mentions
as deemed by Sam.
Alright, quick question for you, Casey.
Have you possessed
any bodies since
we last checked in?
And if so, are you like,
is your mastery over
a corporeal form like back
and like, can you manipulate Rob's
digits is an important question I have.
He has to press buttons
and press play.
I can do more than that.
Okay. All right.
It's a safety check.
And again, you can hear all
the submissions in a
free post later on tonight
at robasawebsite.com
slash patron.
Okay.
Cool. Did you all
hear you could just be a patron
for free now? It sounds like
isn't that cool? What will they
think of next? Yeah.
But is it
worth explaining who I am?
No.
I think anyone who has access
to Wikipedia, frankly, I think the picture we painted of you
is far more unique than anything
that was previously researched.
Actually, Casey, are you
able to just hop out of Rob
for a second and let Rob explain
who you are? That'd be cool.
Sorry, we're locked in.
Oh, shit.
Anyone who's alive in the Amazon?
This would be pretty amazing if we just didn't did 57 minutes more
vamping and never played a song.
Well,
then Casey,
can you explain who you are?
Actually,
what I'd rather do is explain a little bit of how the wand off works.
Okay.
This is why Casey is probably the most mentally healthy podcaster on the RHAP network.
Really keeps his personal life under lock and key.
And we'll do so with the help of an old friend.
Here's Isabel.
You can get your glory.
Rob and Josh will review you.
And don't surrender
Cause you can win
A Wiggler's Wombat
Submission should be
Less than one minute long
When you're ready to vote
Vote for your favorite song
Don't cheat if you're from cherry hill
submitted like two weeks ago where it could have been played as the thing on the page about
explaining what the one off is. Yeah.
Please keep the wand off. There's so much exhibition.
One minute long, people.
And also, that was a great one from Celine Dion Fire with Jeff Probst.
I like that.
That is good.
He was on fire with it.
That's great.
He was on fire with it.
Yeah.
Someone from Cherry Hill once sent in a bunch of ballots.
That's the exposition there.
Yeah.
And the wand off is the wand off.
Yeah.
A comment live from the chat is, are they stalling for a reason?
No.
To which Minnow replied, no, this is just what they're like.
Wow.
That's the way it is.
Guilty as charged.
That's the way it is. Tell him of my top 10 favorite yeah so that's the way to wind up we just listened you know what honestly
if at my funeral whoever's listening play this this guy that one that version than before wow
yeah okay well yeah okay all right that's the way it is well did you hear about what heaven and morbid than before. Wow. Yeah. Okay. Well, yeah. Okay. All right.
Mike is ready for heaven based on how crazy he is.
That's the way it is.
Well, did you hear about
what heaven has?
Mike Bloom heard that
there's cuckolding in heaven
and like is looking at his watch.
Tie me up.
Now I've become more developed
than I ever have before.
Summer of Survivor hits a lull.
Mike Bloom's top 10 songs
of all time is on the list.
Yeah.
Number seven may surprise you. Yeah. Number seven may surprise you.
Number several may surprise you.
There we go. That's the top five
Celine Dion song for me. So like we can discuss
later. Now that we've
explained all the
Wandoff rules, it's time
to bounce around
through time. We'll do it again. Definitely.
Yeah. Let's talk about
a person who's a friend of the
pod who we got to see play back in survivor 42
yeah i know what's happening. So now I lost a vote on the island.
One more slot.
I can't wait.
For the man this song is playing.
Break it down.
Looks good for High and Lydia.
Looks good for High and Lydia.
Looks good for High and Lydia.
Because Daniel Strunk going to give it to you. Yep.
Yep.
Because Daniel Strunk going to give it to you.
The bolts are tied and he starts to talk.
I don't want to dry rock. Come on. Yes. Oh, that's incredible.
Yes. It was from Kelly Bruno Mars.
Once upon a time, once upon a time,
Professor Strunk said,
can you come out of retirement for a wind off?
Just like to do Uptown Strunk. And I said, no. Was that actually Daniel Strunk said, can you come out of retirement for a wand off just like to do Uptown Strunk?
And I said, no.
Was that actually Daniel Strunk?
So I'm glad someone did it for Strunk.
I hope Strunk enjoyed that.
Oddly, and this is not a bit, dragon fruit.
Sounds like my shoulders have really been hurting a lot lately.
Quite a bit.
Maybe that was just the
lingering pain, the ghost pain, if you will.
Yeah, like some
shared phantom pains. It was his shoulder,
right? There was a shoulder? Yeah, he pulled his shoulder
out tripping on the sand in the opening
challenge. Do you know the tie-high vote?
I have no idea what that
is. Okay, 30 seconds of exposition.
Wait, do you want to spoil it for me or should I be
able to watch it? Everyone else knows what it is. 30 seconds of exposition. Wait, do you want to spoil it for me or should I be able to watch it? Everyone else knows
what it is.
I don't want to know.
No, context free.
No spoilers. Keep it going. Run the train.
I think Josh
should give consent as to whether or not
he wants exposition. Thank you, Mike.
I do not consent.
This is 42 and you should watch 42.
I do not consent. We'll score 43.
I do not consent. We'll score 43. I do not consent.
I will pick up on context clues and I will fake laughter if I must.
No.
Wouldn't be the first time.
Okay, well, what did you pick up from that?
Josh had a podcast with me for five years.
It is an art with him.
All right.
I don't even fully remember what happened there.
This next Wandoff comes from a moment in the Survivor 45 finale.
Let's bring in our old friend, Jason Lee.
Don't go breaking the props.
I hope they'll be all right.
Oh, Jake, the challenge is fragile.
Jeff, I'm not like Owen Knight.
Don't go breaking the props.
Oh, I'm just going fast.
I was trying to go quick.
Oh, Jake, you're stomping real hard.
Oh, crap, that thing just collapsed.
He broke the challenge.
That's fine.
That's not a spoiler.
Elton John, Cody, and Kiki D. Viadaris.
Oh, my gosh.
Wait, I thought that was just one guy doing two different voices.
It was a duet.
It was a duet.
Much like Jake's foot in that prop.
Yeah.
Much like Kenzie and Liz
doing a duet at the
immunity challenge that
stopped Maria from continuing
on Survivor. I only
had my references
are either 46
or from the 30s. Do you know
Jake? Yes.
Jake. You'd like
Kane? Oh Kane yeah. yeah. Oh, Kane, yeah.
Oh, Kane. Oh, Kane.
Oh, Kane.
Nothing to be confused with. There is another player named
Kane. Boston dude, right. Boston
dude, but both of them into Dungeons and Dragons.
Yeah? Is that right? Yes.
No, I don't know that Jake is, is he?
He's fairly into it, but he's more of a theater guy than
a fantasy guy. D&D-ish, and he's
a Boston boy? Mm-hmm. See,D-ish, and he's a Boston boy?
Mm-hmm.
See, I pay light attention.
I always click through Mike's slideshows.
Click through Mike's stuff, folks.
Thank you.
Parade.com slash Mike Bloom or whatever it is.
It's not that.
That's close enough. But find Mike Bloom's parade stuff.
This is a mandate, folks.
Click.
A mandate?
Click. Like Robin Casey?
Like Troy Zan would say in the 30s of Survivor.
Click, click, click.
Click, click, click.
You're so irrelevant, Josh.
Especially whenever a certain new Survivor cast drops,
I know you'll want those first two.
Click, click, click, click, click.
That's it.
Thank you, Josh.
Nice.
Remember when Troy Zan blocked all of us?
Yes.
Honestly, in the time since then, that has aged well for me.
I get it. I get the mass block. I think it's fine.
I'm sorry I was part of it.
I don't think I said anything about Troizen, but I think it's fine.
We had a very nice reconciliation on the Survivor Game Changers red carpet over it.
And then we never spoke again afterwards.
But it was a nice moment where it was like, I'm sorry.
He's like, it's hard out here to be Troizen.
I was like, I understand. No one's giving you credit's giving you crazy like you guys are so mean to me and i
was like i know it's not great and he's like okay and then he unblocked me and we like shook hands
and we never spoke again was troy that on game changes yeah yeah the green monster on the red
carpet yeah yeah yeah uh that's what happens when you talk to a person in the real world and not just online.
That's right.
That's right.
Good lesson, Casey.
Thank you so much.
Casey is famously a champion against cyberbullying.
I hate it.
Cyberbullying Troy then, specifically.
Yeah.
No one cyberbullied Troy then.
Does anyone talk about Troy Zane anymore?
No.
No.
Oh my God.
I fully forgot he was on Game Changers.
I'm not even kidding.
All right.
I have to look it up.
Next up.
Josh.
Love this era for me.
There was some news
you may have heard
about how
a certain prize
is no longer happening on Survivor.
Yeah.
Here's one from Swaggy J.
Oh.
Oh.
Who's back?
Yes.
So exciting.
Baby, I don't need to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to Survivor players.
I love cheap thrills.
Baby, I don't need to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to Survivor players.
I love cheap thrills. That. I don't need to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to survivor players. I love cheap thrills.
That's fair.
It's fun to think about her
thinking that while just holding grounded money.
Wow.
See you later.
I'm surprised Sia decided to quit this season,
to be honest.
I think she probably just didn't get through the pre-merge, but then it got so much
better. Are her financials okay?
Well, that's the bigger question is, listen,
if Sia didn't stop giving
away money during a rather
controversial
part of her career, then maybe that
might have bled her dry a bit. Yeah.
Am I missing out on Sia lore
also? Did she do bad things? things yeah when we'll do the uh
when we'll do the the co wand off when co will take over the body of rob we'll get into it oh
that's a dark day so it's a new year you know what that means setting big goals maybe you promised
yourself you're gonna hit the gym every day or maybe you said you're gonna learn to make fire
with a flint for once
or the classic save more money. But let's be honest, New Year's resolutions tend to fizzle
out by February. Wouldn't it be great if at least one of those goals could be automatic?

Yeah.
DJ Franny First Boot said, nah.
So we cut down some of DJ Franny Boots medley of seasons 41 through 46.
Let's start off with a little bit from season 43.
Thanks for the special beads.
Thanks for the special beads.
They will help keep me a bit longer.
That's just in case the first lady of podcast listens to this one.
Okay.
There was the idols, Josh.
They had to get beads from other tribe
members. Oh, I've heard about that. I heard
about that. And then there's the guy who made
a hat, right? And he had like a
community idol hat. Cody.
Here's a little bit from Survivor
44 from
DJ Franny.
First.
from DJ Franny.
First.
The survivor rules,
they say, say, say, say, say.
You can climb big rocks all day, day, day, day, day.
And I think they may now change, change, change, change, change.
Cause Matthew fell off.
Matthew fell off.
Oh, I watched that because I watched a couple episodes of 44.
He fell off a cliff.
I mean, he was climbing the rocks and slid down.
He fell off a cliff, that guy. Didn't he fall off a cliff? Fell off a cliff. I mean, he was climbing the rocks and slid down. He fell off a cliff, that guy.
Didn't he fall off a cliff?
Fell off a big thing. He fell off
a cliff, didn't he? Like the good
son? Yes.
What? 37 minutes before Josh
brought it back to the code, so that feels like a new record.
Jeff Probst had Matthew in
one hand and Matt
in the other.
And he had to choose. And of course
he chose Matt.
He knew that there was a showman's potential.
Yeah. Here's a little thing
from Survivor 45
for you, Josh, just to catch you up.
Okay.
Oh, look
at all those votes for
Caleb.
Oh,
look at all those votes for Caleb. Oh, look at all those votes for Caleb.
Caleb Gabri-Walt
copying the votes at
the Mergatory Tribal
Scene. Places
S-I-T-D. Caleb
Gabri-Walt waiting
to see if he can
continue to play
all the votes for caleb they do not last for long
all the votes for caleb all 11 now are gone. That was brilliant.
That was like the
honestly incredible
scanning of Caleb
Gabriwald with
Eleanor Rigby.
That deserves a Grammy
in my opinion.
I will say SITD
like hearing that
it's a bit of a jump
scan.
Like writing is a
little bit different.
He voted.
He gave me the
voting out Caleb
and he played his shot in the dark and his shot in the dark.
It worked.
He played his S.I.T.D.
The best part of heaven.
No S.I.T.D.
Clean Bella health for Casey.
Yes.
Yes.
Everything is illuminated.
The only thing that's clean.
S.I.T.D. are gone.
Uh huh.
Do we call them S.Ds no they call them
shots I think like you played your shot
if I were still here I'd call them
SITDs every week
let's do that
this is the price you'll pay
if I come back is I'm going to call
them SITDs and nothing else
and then he played it
and then the next week they were just like,
ah, now we get it right.
SITD. No spoiler.
Yeah. GTFO.
I consent to that because I believe I know this one.
I mean, to be fair, not a lot of SITDs
really truly go away.
The vernacular is going to stick around.
That's right.
That's right.
I wish that was said.
Josh, we've got one
That maybe you might
Remember from your watch
Of Survivor 46
Good emphasis on might because
Eric James Barger
Let's hear it What? Oh, yes.
It's that.
Did you take poo?
So remember when everyone remember when Jim had everyone for the idol?
Hold on a second.
I like I definitely just watched all of Survivor.
So this is a behind the scenes. I definitely just watched all of Survivor 43. That's not what happened.
So this is a behind-the-scenes fact.
And I would have paid attention if someone was pulling an Ellie Sattler through some doo-doo.
Allegedly, Carla, one of the cast members from 43,
tweeted while that was happening on screen,
oh, that's where we pooped during Survivor 43.
But that's not your poo.
It would be Jem made you dig their poo.
Wait, so when Jem made you look through poo.
Through poo, not your poo.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
So Jem, when she like hid like the,
I keep wanting to call it like a bucket,
but it's a box, right?
Like this like box.
The lock box, yeah.
The lock box.
She put the box in the poo tree?
She didn't know.
No, she didn't even have the box
in the first place.
She made them, like, didn't
she make them? She made them dig for the
clue. Yeah. Yeah, but there was
nothing else besides that. It was a wild goose chase.
But she made them dig in
the poo, like it was a clue poo?
She didn't realize it. They use the same beaches every season
And a contestant from Survivor 43
When they saw the episode
Said that's where we used to drop a deuce
Oh
Got it
Understood
Okay
I don't know
Are these a merge?
These are pre-merge characters?
I'm not paying attention to your names.
So I thought that
was a person who was on the beach.
Did Jem deviously make them
dig through their own
poo spot? Because I thought, what's the name of the person
who said they were a poo tree?
Carla. I have no idea who that is
and could have been a pre-merge contestant on Survivor 46,
which I just watched. Shannon, pretty
casual these days, gotta tell ya.
It's in your blood, look at it.
You can gauden more about Survivor
than people will ever know. Next up,
maybe one that's not
as high concept.
It's the phrase that pays
from Survivor 41.
Here's.
Oh, I love this.
I like what you said.
About broccoli.
You said it all.
That they're like small trees.
You said about broccoli. About broccoli. that they're like small trees you said barbara galley
barbara galley
how they let out trees
but you said barbara galley
not barbara galley
I like her
but you said barbara galley I like her Why'd you say Bob Rock
I like her
I feel like this one requires an explanation
for Shannon
Yeah
Were you late because you were listening to that over and over and over again?
Has this all been the same guy by the way?
Or have we moved on from the message?
That was Trent Finney,
a.k.a. Dana Lambert Carvey.
Oh, Dana Lambert, I know.
We did do those. We did the
Survivor 41.
We did three Wandafts or so
for Survivor 41, and we definitely got
some chopping broccoli.
Okay.
That's an L-script, Shannon, from
like 30 years ago yeah
explained to you yes yeah yes it's it's good yeah let's explain that snl skit and not why
rob is casey case them to be fair if you haven't watched the amazon or found the clip where rob
acts like casey case them like you gotta watch it in the right place yeah yeah
paramount plus uh-huh so what in heaven is the full uncut version available in paramount plus You should figure that out. You gotta watch it in the right place. Yeah. My players took off of Paramount+.
Uh-huh.
So what in heaven?
Is the full uncut version available
on Paramount Plus in heaven?
We are not telling listeners to go to heaven.
We are not doing that.
That is not a thing.
But not at least.
Narcissization is enough of RHAP being a cult.
Let's not go all the way there.
This is the end?
This is the last wand off we've got?
Last honorable mention. Oh, okay. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Oh my not go all the way there. This is the end? This is the last wand off we've got? Last honorable mention.
Oh, okay. Cool, cool, cool.
One last honorable
mention, and this is
a New Era
winner's biggest wish.
Oh. Here's Billy
Thompson. Okay.
I'm so excited. I can't wait to see Jeff.
I can't wait to not eat.
Not shower, not brush my teeth.
Poop in the ocean.
Bring it.
Let Jeff Jam poop in the ocean.
Can't keep that info to himself.
He's giving birth to a brown
trout.
Oh, dear lord!
That is
the layers of
a car.
That's called Michael Adams
Uncle Bolton.
And who submitted that?
Who was the person who submitted it?
Billy Thompson?
Really familiar familiar though.
Can we hear that again?
Can someone do an anagram really quick
of that name?
Poop transplants all
lore, folks.
Woo!
Oh my god, this is only going to hit for people
in like a couple of days.
Oh my god. hit for people in like a couple of days.
Give him a hat.
Send a hat.
I think it's only appropriate that we do two poo-themed wand-offs. Only makes sense.
Wow.
Yeah, why are there so many about poo?
You know what?
Jam Jam pooped in the ocean.
I'm surprised that the poo song wasn't about Liz
finally taking a poo as well.
I'm sure we have that as well.
Look what you made me poo.
Yeah, wow.
Woo.
Oh my gosh. Jam Jam wanted to poop
in the ocean. I love it here.
I love this song.
I love this song. I love this song.
Wow.
Can that play in my funeral instead?
We've got more than
several songs to get to.
The top wand-offs in the
country. We're counting down
the hits.
Alright, let's start
off with one
that comes to us from Jim Fishwick.
Okay.
And they really understand Rob Sesternino, maybe Rob Coded.
Here's Jim.
Andy Griffith, Applebee's, Murgatory Sanctuary,
Shipwheel Island, Birdcage, whoa, sorry, whoa.
Charlie Brown, big mistake

Feel the art, survivors Let them torture, burn in The modern journey That was from the legendary Billy Jolinski.
Can I vote this into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Is that allowed?
That was incredible.
That's the next mission you need, actually.
Worth lifting our We Didn't Start the Fire ban,
which I did believe was still in place.
Well, I believe now that it's We Didn't Start the Fire making.
We're now going to have to compete to get in.
Sure.
Wow.
That was great.
I feel like Keanu Reeves in the matrix i just like learned
kung fu i feel like i now know like everything exactly what really like stuck with you uh i
don't know i forgot it immediately as soon as the song ended but i loved it loved it i mean
it is it's really cool that like uh yeah people say the near the New York doesn't have a lot of stuff happening in it.
There's an entire song that just described all these random moments.
A lot of stuff is happening.
That was a Debbie song that I made in my first ever podcast.
Well, we didn't start the fire. I'm the one who started it to get to the band.
I started. We didn't start the fire. I did start it, ironically.
Yeah, but I didn't start the fire i did start it ironically yeah but i didn't start
the fire that was great all right next up an old friend of the wand off is back to talk about
a little bit more about a guy who broke some props earlier in the wandandoff. We already heard that, yes. So I'm right in. Here's MJC.
Ooh, Michael J. Clarke!
Doesn't seem to matter what I try.
Want the votes to tie.
Sorry, whoa, what the hell, guys?
Oh, I count numbers like survivor champs.
Pass out at the camps
But you know I will survive
Massive plan at final five
I'm just Jake
Truly insist that I'm a snake
What'll it take to make this god forsaken
Jury's my ability
I'm just Jake
Didn't mean for that challenge to break
Can't really point to one mistake
I had to play the cards that were dealt to me
Oh yeah, dance scene.
My energy
Theater kid energy Wow, incredible. Yeah, dance team. Feel my energy. See you, Turkid energy.
Wow, incredible.
That's from skinny Ryan Gosling.
I feel like I'm going to go Bobby.
Huge, huge, huge props to the incredible Michael J. Clark
with the pipes, bringing the pipes and the Kennergy.
And again, a great sort of like summation of jake okay and the
incredible character that he was
and is yeah and you played this after
the finale i would have cried i might still
man i wish that we had been we weren't
even doing wand offs yet but god
if i'm just ken was that was happening
during millennials versus gen x would have been very
funny i'm apparently
ken yeah i'm apparently Ken. Yeah, I'm apparently Ken.
Did Jack say he's
Jake enough?
Jake, I believe
wore an I'm just enough sweater, Rob,
when he did Exopress the next day, right?
I remember.
And he loves vinyl.
Yeah.
What is the Survivor Barbenheimer?
Is there a Survivor Barbenheimer?
Survivor Barbenheimer is when they have the premiere of Survivor
and the finale of Big Brother.
Yeah, that's good.
That's good.
That's Survivor Barbenheimer.
I Survivor Barbenheimer'd once.
I Survivor Barbenheimer'd the one where the cop won Big Brother
and it was the San Juan del Sur premiere,
wasn't it? Yeah, when Derek won back in
2014. I survived in Heimerd.
I survived that
Survivor. You watched Big Brother? Ever?
Josh, that's the first episode I ever
watched. And almost the only one,
but not the only one. I've seen a few more.
A new era, Wanda,
but you're in luck because a
lot of the top songs in the country come
from a season you just watched.
Here's a little recap from DJ Byte.
Okay.
You're listening to 77.7 SVRL, the only station that does not, not rock.
He's gonna sweat it off.
And several leaky buckets couldn't make a splash.
They're gonna vote him off.
The legend of Jelinski was too good to last.
A barmy world.
Don't you dare touch that dial.
A million hearts and everything.
After a break, it's better.
Shred with mermaid dragons.
We think it's ham and a tie.
Sleepless nights
Running rides
Bad catch man
I can't force a man again
He don't know about you But his hand says 22 Got it. We are ready. See who gives money like she's. No to do.
No to do.
Maria.
I just lost the game.
That was great.
That was great.
That was great.
I'm a new job. That was great. That was great. That was great.
A lot there from DJ Byte.
Wow.
Wow.
I'm glad you're on stage 46.
Wow, DJ Byte.
Love that.
That wasn't even a bite.
That was like a full mouthful of references.
Big old bite. We got a big old bite out of Survivor 46, didn't we?
I don't know why I just tried to do the game.
I'm going to make a real name for myself now.
Wow.
Now I do imagine Banu as Aladdin
and that is a pretty incredible idea.
Wow.
Maybe people didn't hear
the Survivor, the House of the
Mermaid Dragon podcast that Rob
and I did, but I'm a Banu guy. I'm one of the Million
Hearts folks. I'm
part of Banu Nation. Banu
disappeared, though. We don't know where he is.
Oh, no, he's around. What's he doing?
I'm not an actor.
Uh-huh.
But he is, which is what we discovered,
right? He has an IMDb page
and he's been in several shorts.
Who doesn't have an IMDb page? I believe he's just been making the block hot ever page and he's been in several shorts who hasn't he doesn't
have an imdb i believe he's just been making the block hot ever since that's just been his mo i
mean it's been a very hot summer yeah it has been uh enjoy it it's the coolest summer we'll ever
have again that's having sounding even better now somebody else who's making the block hot, another old friend of the Wandoff, Davis, Will, is here to talk about another legend of Survivor 46.
Oh, okay.
Oh, okay.
Name for me a number In between six and eight
Maybe it's a hungry one
With nine on its plate
I don't think four hours is enough
When there's so much to carry
Several is seven
But I know that this new turn of phrase
Is just legendary
Several is seven
Lord, I'm a
Jeffrey.
Yes, got that one.
Yeah. Back from Los
Lonely Cowboys. Oh, wow.
Did we overall
get more about Poop or Jelinski?
And were there any others?
And what they did with those two things
more than all the other things?
My unofficial count is Po two, Jolinski one.
Poop usually is two.
No, we had a couple on Jolinski.
We had a whole thing.
Jolinski gets like a bunch of cumulative ones.
Like he had like one several of that radio tile one.
We had several nation army.
Come on.
All right.
Love that.
This is great.
This is like old friends.
Old friends are back. This is great. This is like old friends. Old friends are back.
This is great.
This is great.
I've never been on the wiggle room with you before.
I'm new.
We really never had anyone on here.
So it's a little awkward.
Thank you for making room.
It's a cozy room.
There's a tight room and a great live chat.
Tight fit.
Tight fit.
Okay.
and a great live chat.
Tight fit.
Tight fit.
Okay.
Tight.
Let's talk about a man who was a big star from Survivor 46.
And here's a big star from the Wandoff.
It's Bob with two Bs.
Wow, Bob, what up?
He's back.
Wando. Wanda.
This here's a jam for all the wackos, crazies, eccentrics, and fiascos.
We've had our coaches and our shambos, even kooky winners like Tony Vlachos, Tarzan and Zayn, Marlboro Manchane.
Imagine the production let them snort that cocaine.
Debbie's many jobs were wacky adjacent.
Phillip Shepard claimed to be a federal agent.
Haley Zcia, Abe Maria
We're crazy in love with Billy Garcia
New era's keen, us whack jobs are plenty
Crazier than Mateo with a sharp ass machete
Carolyn Weiger, there's no one like her
But this next minute's gonna be from Mikey Gabor
Of course 46 gave us Banu
But a much bigger kook is fucking cute
Wait, but the bleep was after?
You bleeped the wrong thing
He's high and fake and showing great technique And marketing a hoodie as aeped the wrong thing. That's a big mistake.
He's high and fake and showing great technique and marketing.
He has a skirt he could compete in.
Maybe he's a quitter or a martyr on the block, bro,
but just don't let him know that you fancy Aubrey Brocco.
He's highly suspicious. Don't go against the sixes.
He could change the game. He could cancel Christmas.
Bet for bourbon burgers from him to you.
That's a big mistake. Gee, it's fucking cute.
Why was it shocking the second time? I think it's a great representation of Q's misread on the game.
That's from Jonathan Young, MC.
The misplaced beep. That was on yours truly trying to keep the podcast family friendly.
Wow.
Wow. Uh-huh. Wow. Wow.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, good job.
Can't let a good deaf bomb down, you know?
Wow.
Bob still got it.
This place beep.
Bob with two beeps.
Great.
Incredible.
All right.
Great to hear from you bob q was such a star that there were multiple
wand offs about him here's another one coming to us from eric barger here he is talking about q Q. Oh, Q! Q Burdette.
So my name is Quintavious Burdette.
Everyone calls me Q.
Q Burdette up in this hall.
Watch me survive every fall.
Then I'll make the final six and take my idol home.
Q made a big mistake.
Q made a big mistake.
Q made a big mistake.
Q made a big mistake.
Q Burdette up in this hall.
When he is my only model. When I play this game, man, I don't trust no Aubrey Bronco. Big mistake. Big mistake. If they want to fight, I'll cancel Christmas on them. Catch me in Fijian Islands being who you want to be.
Haters getting asses.
I got me some Applebee's.
You run dead up in this.
Watch me make a Q&A.
Wish I won the game like that girl with the giant.
But you've made a big mistake.
You've made a big mistake.
You've made a big mistake.
You've made a big mistake. You've made a big mistake.
Wow.
I'm going to listen to that in my free time.
The great artist, Sonia Boy.
Oh.
All right, Pete. I got to give a special shout out to that
because I believe that first sound bite
was the sourcing my interview
that I did out on the island with you.
Wow, yeah.
Mike Bloom here.
Mike Bloom getting sampled on the wand.
So my name is Quintavious
Burdett.
I think what you mean is
boom.
Play that again.
Play it again.
I need to hear that again!
Cupidette.
So my name is Quintavious Birdette.
Everyone calls me Cupidette.
We call that the T,
and we call that the T-Core.
Do we get a feature credit?
Yes.
Oh my gosh.
Featuring Mike Bloom.
And he got his first babe text of the night.
The Mike Bloom. I don't know why I said it in response to him giving his name.
That was the encouragement I had to give him.
That's so interesting, your name.
You can get my phone number.
I think also the funny thing is right after that sound clip,
as he goes, my name is Quintavis.
But Quintavis, forget, you can call me Q.
I encourage you to call me Q.
Maybe that's what I should realize at that moment.
The person that Q is.
All right.
We've got one more wand off.
All right.
This one's from Josiah.
Okay.
Okay.
Love it.
Already love it already love it i don't want to cancel christmas but my fashion is in need
got a million foreign outfits but no cool accessories i don't want to carry a bag. That would be a big mistake.
Don't survive if that's what I see.
Cupid has changed the game.
Flipped his hoodie back around.
With the big pouch dangling down.
Like a kangaroo.
I just need a cute skirt like you
Cute, baby
That was, of course, a Christmas hit from Mariah Gaynor Carey.
Uh-huh.
Brilliant.
Oh, my God.
Did you ever sell those skirts no they're just not yet no
so he sold a shirt that said q skirt incoming on it but i don't believe it ever leon and i were
trying to figure this out when we're on oh yeah like is this supposed to be like a make your own
q skirt wow money on the money on the table well he's got money to give away right now.
He's got the Kumios, so I think that was keeping him busy.
All right.
For a long time, we used to talk in Q.
It was a language where instead of other sounds, we would just say Q.
Yeah, much like your hands, you should keep the money off the table.
He's got to keep it. Only under the table.
Wow, wow.
Next up, there was another very iconic moment from Survivor 46.
It was recently named the most iconic moment from Survivor 46 on a Survivor podcast.
Yeah, it's one. You'll see. You'll see as we hear from somebody we know very well. Look at this rice.
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think it's a nice thing to eat?
Didn't you know I'm the girl,
the girl who has allergies?
Look at this tribe,
eats every day.
You better rhyme that with that, please.
Also last night you blew up my whole game.
On top of that, I'm the girl, the girl who has happiness. Okay, yeah.
You want intolerances?
I've got 20. But who cares? Wanna know what we're playing for?
I wanna be where the pizzas are.
I wanna eat, wanna eat a burger.
A slice of D is with, what do they call it?
Oh, cheese.
Rumored billionaires don't get far. What do they call it? Oh, cheese. What's that chain again?
Applebee's.
Yes, there it is.
Yes. Cut a choke dips, bourbon straight Swiss. Give me the shark bowl or I'll be pissed at the sanctuary.
With apple beers on the reward.
Yes.
See if we can have Wanda on the podcast.
Now that's going to play at my funeral.
The Disney princess of the Wanda has returned.
The little mermaid dragon.
Wow. The little mermaid dragon wow
little mermaid
something of your own for your funeral
you don't have to do no I want this
with no context
it'll be just
all Celine Dion wand offs
yeah plus the part
where he says
pull the string on my body
and I'll just say,
mm-hmm.
Oh, man.
Shannon, I love you.
That was wonderful.
That was fantastic.
You know,
I wanted to go back
to the Disney songs
because, you know,
that's how I got my,
pretty much my start in R.H.P.
Listen,
for people who don't know
the Wandoff lore,
like,
Shannon really made
a name for herself
here on R.H. here On RHAP on the
Wand off she would
With Will she would submit Disney
Songs there would be Disney songs
A plenty and now
Here we are how many
Years greater
And Shannon you've got weekly
Survivor coverage you're talking about
The summer of Survivor you are one
Of the world's foremost
experts on survivor i think i'm locked in this group of four of us so i'm already
there's already three people ahead of me and as uh an elder statesman of survivor as uh as a as a
retired survivor pro i just want to say I'm very proud of you.
Oh, stop it.
That's so emotional and beautiful.
And Mike knows this as well.
I'm not being as sappy with Mike because I get to be sappy with Mike on Down the Hatch each and every week.
But I'm so proud of Mike Bloom as well.
Me too.
You know, I really am just so, so happy every time i see that like mike bloom's
tweets have like 500 000 likes except when like you've tweeted a goof you know like if you've
like goofed and like you're getting goofed i mean i am the goof i don't like it when that happens to
you but i love how prolific you are in this space and how much you have revolutionized the game. And so I've been gone, but I know Survivor has been in great hands.
Well, it's safe to say that I, for many reasons, I would not be here without you.
And it's only because I've been able to follow your lead in so many different ways.
Thank you for giving me the guidance to say, mm-hmm, when people get their names.
Oh, God.
That is, like, God.
Mana from heaven.
Mana from Egypt. Like, that's the way it is, okay? Mana from heaven. Mana from Egypt.
That's the way it is, okay?
Exactly.
Mana was in Game Changers, Josh.
We won't be talking about that today.
And I'm so proud of Robert as well.
Can I say I'm so proud of Robert?
Why is he back?
Can I say how proud I am of Robert
and how much RHAP has grown in these last five years too.
There are so many incredible podcasters network wide,
so many of them who I have not met before and probably haven't even listened
to because y'all talk about reality shows that I don't watch,
but I know how much all of you love this stuff.
And I want to give huge props to Rob for giving a platform to all of these incredible voices who have kept all of you so thoroughly entertained over the last several years.
And not seven, but probably closer to like five right now.
There were two years there that were not as good.
And then, Rob, all of this while you yourself are tirelessly podcasting.
You are tirelessly doing stuff behind the scenes.
You're making these podcasts possible.
Especially today.
Especially today.
I think those are top five, personally.
As you have surrendered your body to the spectral form of deceased radio host and shaggy voice actor.
This is what the Wando brings out.
And I love you, man. And I'm very proud of you. I'm very proud of you and everything thatgy voice actor. This is what the Wanda brings out. And I love you, man.
And I'm very proud of you.
I'm very proud of you and everything that you've built.
You've built an empire.
I'm proud of all of you out here who are listening to this.
I don't know what you did,
but I know you did something great.
And here.
We're here.
And that's like what you say before you like go into the West,
like Gandalf at the end of Return of the King.
Like, and this is where I leave you.
Yeah. And so then Give It Up for Noodle says
all this nice talk will be followed by a song
about poop. Have we got any?
We'll see about that. Here comes
two more of our old friends.
It's Aaron Robertson and
Richman.
He's allergic, tired, and hangry
and secretly
not rich.
But Q won the Applebee's reward, so who to pick?
Others he'll ask to join him for a burger.
Q had no mercy for Liz.
How will that affect her?
Here we go.
I'm sick!
She's so mad
Mad at Q
She's so angry
She's so mad
Screaming more morning Samuel Jackson
His face on a plane
She's so mad
Mad at you
Wow.
That was from Tal Fishbackman.
I'm going to count the do-do-do's
as fulfilling the poop song
prophecy. I have a vision of
the next time I'm mad, I feel like if Peter
would just be like, she's so mad.
That would just diffuse
that whole situation. I sing that song
the opposite at my house. I sing that song
for Emily every once in a while because I think
it's such a silly song. Have you ever
heard of the actuals? She's so high, high above me.
She's so lovely. I love the
like Joe in the box.
Or Aphrodite.
I always say that
to her. I go, or Aphrodite.
That's a great song.
I feel like Cal Blackman
and James Bunt might be the same person.
I feel like they both live in that
same house. So I heard there was one more. James Bunt might be the same person. Great song. I feel like they both live in that same house.
So I heard there was one more.
James Bunt, often so high.
In the real time, we've got Nine Men Still Big Brother,
and Rob's got a GTFO.
So if we've got one more song, let's let it rip.
We've got three more to go.
All right. Three more.
One more.
Three more.
Oh, shit.
From William Wolverine.
All right.
Here we go.
Snuck three in here.
I lost the challenge and I cried. Rewarded Applebee's for bun, burger and fries.
I'll trade my millions for just one bite of food. I can't look at you.
Then Jeff's asking me what I'm feeling. I'm feeling a ton. I am pissed.
Y'all say you have all gone
without eating.
I see you eat every day.
Chewing blew up my whole game.
Overshadowed everything.
I didn't say nothing.
Didn't even know about
the dance we wrote last night.
You're going to believe it.
I loved that.
Just the whole speech.
Lydia Meredith Brooks.
Oh, yes. Oh, man.
All right.
We're done with our
Survivor
46 section.
Oh, wow. Okay.
Yep.
Alright. Let's then
bring in another
legend is here.
Who loves Survivor 45.
Here is
Corey B.
To talk about
a queen from Survivor
45.
Let's go in.
There's birds and bugs and sweat everywhere.
And I'm so angry.
It's all right.
You used to watch it
lying down there
at home on TV.
But you applied.
Now you're upset
about your defeat
no nicotine
and no food
makes you cry
makes you ill
but did you know that when you go
the bugs, dirt and sweat
turn to burgers
and showers
and sleep.
Baby,
it's looking like you're gonna quit
at a rose from the
gate. Ooh, what's giving
mother how to take care
of you? Yeah.
I heard you
miss Rose with Mike Blue
and Mike's
interview felt the same. Mm-hmm. Oh, my God.
It's really hard.
Oh, man. you. It's really hard. I'm afraid.
Oh,
man. Incredibly moving from the artist, Drew
Basile.
Great at
Jeopardy. It really is. Yeah.
Exceptional. Anthropologically
speaking, you can't get a kiss
from a rose.
Hannah Rose. Hannah Rose.
Hannah Rose. Do you know what happened to Hannah
Rose, Josh? Did you see this on Twitter? Yeah.
Hannah Rose, Hannah quit. Yeah. Hannah Rose
is winner pick. Hannah was my winner pick.
And then I heard and like I
didn't watch it because it was like time delayed.
I was like, oh, maybe I'll watch it this time. And then
it's like, yeah, your winner pick quit.
I was like, ah, yeah, another sign.
But she's an icon
but and she also she does have a lost tattoo that she showed to me josh so maybe a picture
down the hatch guest okay all right okay all right one last one off to go and this is this
week's long distance dedication it comes into us from a young man who says, Dear Casey, it's been a lifelong dream of mine to have a wand off written about me.
I'm a lifelong Survivor fan, and it would mean the world to me to be a part of the wand off.
And so, young man, Corey B has another song for you.
Here we go. When I was 11, my father survived there with auditions to play my favorite game.
They said, Dornan, you grow up and be there.
You'll be like Angelina in my bladder brain.
Anytime. Let's about Brandon. Death broke the walls, but no, I can't be beat. When the challenge starts and it's my turn to go,
I can't get on.
I can't get on. And though that it ever seems so easy,
I'm trying, but I can't get on.
I can't get on.
And though I feel like I'm no getter about my
future challenge performance.
Wow. Unreal.
Actually unreal.
Still got it.
Actually unreal. Corey B.
took it away. My chemical
Rohan.
I will
also say, not gonna lie,
this is no joke
bookended with another one of my top 10
favorite songs
wow that's a bunch of value Mike
wow that was amazing
that was amazing
I mean this whole evening was incredible
that was amazing
with a couple minutes to go
before Big Brother and Mike Bloom
still gotta do plugs.
Yeah.
With that.
Casey knows about Mike's plugs.
Yeah.
Oh, Casey knows.
Casey knows about my plugs.
It's been an honor and a pleasure and a journey.
A journey.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm so nostalgic and emotional.
Like every bit of millennial nostalgia in me.
Like I'm actually going to cry.
Casey, I love you.
I very much love you.
I've got some other wives.
Do you know what?
Jesus.
Alright, Casey. Let's talk again
before I get to heaven, please.
You got it. How about once
this season? Okay, sounds
good. Alright, if you're good.
In the meantime, keep your feet on the ground
and keep your hands off the table.
All right.
Bye, Casey.
Rob, oh my God, Rob, Rob.
What did I miss?
You missed a whole ass wand off.
Oh my God, it's 7.58 already?
Yeah, you gotta go.
You gotta go.
We didn't even do the thing yet.
We have to do all the wand dogs.
Wait, wait, wait. So Rob is completely
unconscious in that time and doesn't know his
body's being taken over and misses it like he
blacked out? We don't even think about the implications.
We don't have enough time. He has moments
of lucidity.
What's coming up for you?
Firstly, what an honor and
a jervis for me. Truly, this was so much of my start in RHAP.
It's a dream to be on it with you.
It's a dream with all of you.
But with Josh, like, to have Josh back here being hilarious,
giving us exposition, and all of the old wand offers
and new wand offers being so creative and hilarious,
like the references, the music, it was exceptional.
Thank you so much for having me on it. What a dream podcast. I loved every second.
I was meant to make this quick claim to fame. Traders New Zealand finale. Summer of Survivor.
That's me. That's Shannon Gates. Yeah. OK, that'll be fun. We'll see.
Shannon will join us for the next episode of Claim to Fame. We got to record it at some point.
