Episode Transcript
We can win this stress.
I'm a dog personneurs now by them up.
Speaker 2Let's knock them down.
You told me your dog was guy Sam.
Speaker 1I'm coming over and over.
You know I crack it.
Speaker 2You're either in or not.
It's not about a million dollars.
Speaker 1All I want to do is win million hard.
Speaker 2Sorry sorry, sorry sorry.
Survivor is back, baby, kind of not really in a week.
Speaker 1It's back.
Speaker 2Everybody's favorite season until it season.
Speaker 1No one cares about this season.
Speaker 2That's not Season fifty is coming fast.
Speaker 3I'm very excited that he yes, yeah, hey guys, let's not bury the lead.
Speaker 1Jonathan is.
Speaker 3The first time ever Jonathan's in the same room as all of us.
Speaker 1I've never met Jonathan in person before, and it.
Speaker 3Just stuck his finger in my face, like I don't want him to go back now.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'm halfway, timpt.
Speaker 4I almost slapped you just for the sound for the microphone, but then I thought.
Speaker 1Well that would be a little far.
Speaker 3We had an alliance last year, and now you're gonna slap me.
Speaker 2I have started this this season very Bachmann alliance.
But it doesn't matter about alliances because this is and this is season forty nine and today we're doing the pre season extravaganza where we're gonna be going through all of the new cast members talking about all the little details of their lives.
Speaker 1Remember last year when I accused someone of being a felon, that was Yea, and then he messaged that A great move, Chase.
He was cool about it.
Though he really handled it.
He was cool.
And we're talking about Joe.
It was Joe.
Yeah, it's not just anyone.
Speaker 5Yeah, final Joe, Joe who famously made made Jeff Probe's cry because of his kindness.
Speaker 4Yea, Hey, Heroes story arc you know.
Yeah, sure, I was young, I was dumb.
I've learned from that experience.
So we have some announcements to make.
Chase, do you want to let everybody know the plans?
Speaker 1Oh?
I like that, is Chase.
Oh, I like that more.
Speaker 6With announcements, guys, we have some exciting news about how we're doing the draft in the season for season forty nine, each of us.
Speaker 1Well, first of all, elephant in the room and I don't mean Jonathan.
He lost forty pounds calories.
Speaker 2Oh it's a small guys.
Kristen is not going to be full time this season.
Yeah, Jonathan's going to be kind of on his own.
That's okay you And like, did you, like, did you tell her to shut up?
Speaker 4Like what happened?
You know, classic male patriarchy.
I just walked it and said you're out.
You know, no you got dropped?
Speaker 2No, no, yeah, you Got's the thing, if I'm being real about this, I was like, Kristen, I'm ready to do this, and she was like, you know, last season you kept mouthing off saying you won.
That's true, and this season, I'm out, let's see how you do.
That's what That's what she did.
High stakes for you, because if you win this season, you've proven to everyone that you didn't just hide behind you.
Speaker 1Now it's huge, huge steaks for me right now.
Speaker 3And we know it was all Kristen because I think, you know, Kyle was more of her pick and you decided to go charity after that.
We remember, correct, we still had to agree on our picks, you know.
Speaker 1But I think she was leading the charge.
I picked Joe, though, who lost.
He lost.
He won everyone's heart, so unlike Bonning.
Speaker 5It's I will just say, it's not a good look for you, it's not a good look for us.
The only woman we had couldn't stand us, but let's run with that.
Speaker 2Yeah.
So that's the first big change is happening this season.
The second big change a more exciting announce instead of just calling it p D's team or Brand's team or the losing team.
Jonathan, you we we have team names.
Each team is gonna have their own team name.
Would everybody like to go around and say their team name?
Speaker 1Yes?
Speaker 2I remember mine, I do remember it.
Speaker 5Come on, Brandon, mine, Mine's alliterative.
Mine is a brand's blind Siders.
Speaker 2Yeah, but more confidently, my team's name is Brand's blind Side.
Speaker 1Hooray, it's doing it, Jonathan.
Okay, guys, is pitiful.
Speaker 4I went with personally what I think is the best name out here.
I think p D would agree.
I went with the Flint and Steelers.
But if you want to, just for for ease of use, you can just call them the Steelers.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3So, Jonathan, he's just trying to shove a knife into my back to start this off.
I don't know what it's about, but okay, because last year we have read last season.
Speaker 1Sorry it feels like last year.
Speaker 3Yeah, we had an alliance for most of the season and then it kind of it's soured towards the end, and I think Jonathan's better.
Speaker 1I'm sick of being bullied.
That's what it is.
Speaker 2Yeah, you know, we're a couple of weeks into the season.
Now, Pete, how are they doing We're not?
Speaker 3Oh we are okay, We're we are doing good.
Speaker 2We're two and one right now.
Speaker 1Wow.
Speaker 2I like how you didn't go three and Oh that's that's playing your cards right.
Speaker 1Uh, pet Life Experience.
Speaker 2Man, my team name is the Journeys, the Bachmann Journeys Don't Stop Believing.
And my team is chases fake idols, the fake idols.
Speaker 1Uh, you could call them the fakers for sure.
I don't know about that.
I don't know about that.
Speaker 2We got like custom jerseys made.
But the really cool part about us having our own teams and team names is this year for our patrons.
If you are a patron over on Patreon, slash making the merge, yeah, Survivor podcast.
Speaker 1Survivor pod yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2You'll find it in the description Smash that we're going to be making it where all of our patrons can lock in with one of the four teams.
Speaker 1And when you lock in with one of the four teams, that is.
Speaker 2Who you're rooting for all season, and at the end of the season, if you are locked in with the winning tribe, the winning team, whether it be the Blindsiders, the Journeys, the Flint and Steelers, or.
Speaker 1The Fake Idols, you will also win.
Speaker 2And we're gonna send everyone that's on the winning team a little prize.
Speaker 1Wow.
What's the price.
We haven't decided yet.
Speaker 2It's going to be like a little trophy, but yes, it's good to put it out there.
Speaker 1Yeah, to hold us to it.
Speaker 3So you could potentially win a little Jody Nule Cup and.
Speaker 2You can be a part of the draft even more than normal.
And then some other big changes that are happening this season.
We'll have a Patreon exclusive show on Wednesday nights Wow, right after the episode airs, and we'll be doing a very quick fresh from Tribal show where we just kind of talk about what happened directly, because remember takes to join us.
If you are a patron, you can join us in the live chat Patreon during the Survivor episodes on Wednesday night.
Speaker 1It's a ton of fun.
And I think that's everything, right, Pud.
Speaker 3I think so, I'm really excited for I'm gonna have the most people lock in with my team.
Speaker 4I think unless people really want to just make you angry, because they could all just join the Steelers with me.
Speaker 3Why would everyone join the guy who's been the worst.
Speaker 4If you want to be in on a really great bit and a good joke and be on the inside of it and just watch a guy crumble for the next couple of weeks, make sure you join the Steelers.
Speaker 1Clinton.
Speaker 5I have a feeling that my team is gonna take off.
I think people are attracted to alliteration' I was so bad last season that I think people are gonna I.
Speaker 1Think I'm worth the risk this.
Ye're the underdog story.
Speaker 5You're still an underdog here, and I think that I can pull this one off.
Speaker 2I think you can too.
But and I was right about Yule.
If you remember, we're right about youle Hey.
Speaker 3We've been doing this for five seasons, four or five seasons, and I've never missed the playoffs.
I've always had somebody in the final three.
So lock in with PD.
Speaker 2You guys will be able to lock in after we draft, and for any patrons that join throughout season forty nine, you'll be able to lock in immediately.
After you join, but you can't just wait around until the finals and then what's to cutoff?
Speaker 1Merge?
I think the cutoff will probably be the Merge cutoff.
I think it's the Verge is fair.
Speaker 2Yeah, all right, guys, it's time for the preseason exce yes, do it.
We're back, baby, We're back.
Speaker 5We have eighteen people to talk about, starting with one, Riz God.
Speaker 2I want people to watch this season and say, wow, that Riz God kid left an impact on Survivor.
Speaker 7Like I want people to know that they can dream big and when they.
Speaker 1Dream big, their dreams do come true.
Because look at me, guys.
So Rizzo hot start Chase, guys.
Speaker 2So, yeah, I didn't even.
Speaker 1Notice I did anything wrong.
Guys.
Okay, guys, I have zo Velvic Velvic.
Speaker 2Yeah what I don't you just like you did the thing at the start and then you don't know his name.
Speaker 1I don't know how to pronounce.
Speaker 2Come on, I haven't written down.
At the end of the day, he's risk.
I feel he's losing members as we go.
Speaker 1Man, you're doing.
Speaker 2Great, Chase, you take it from the top two Riz God that in No.
Speaker 1Yeah, I've got Riz Velevic and everyone a meat.
Don't don't.
It wasn't a third or fourth.
Speaker 2It's a hard name.
Speaker 1It's a hard name.
For now you do it.
Speaker 2I'm awful at names.
Wait until you see what I have next.
Speaker 1So Joe, I want to say.
Speaker 2His government name, what his mama named oscar Rizzo Velevic.
There you go, and Riz God as he's been referred to, the the r I z z g O D, the one in own leaf from tribal baby B.
Speaker 5And potentially at this time of this recording, two time winner Risky.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2When I was telling everybody who they were recovering, I put two time winner Risky very possible.
Speaker 5It's very playing fifty, it's very interesting.
Speaker 3I saw Angelina comment on one of his posts or he said something about being normal, and she said, define normal.
Speaker 2Hard to be normal when you're the two time winner back to back back.
Yeah, probably the first time back to back seasons if I'm thinking correct.
Speaker 1Give me, give me reason to believe in Risky.
Speaker 2Okay, So immediately he became a big meme online.
When we saw the preview for forty nine.
At the end of forty eight, everybody was like, get a load of this guy.
But the tides have changed.
Everyone is beginning to really love this guy because he is very awesome.
He's very sweet and charismatic.
This is a little bit about Rizzo.
This is what he says about the game of Survivor.
He says, I want to chase greatness.
I want to be one of the best players to ever play this game.
He's passionate about Survivor.
His whole backstory is about how much he loves Survivor.
Speaker 1And do you have his age?
By chance?
He looked young.
He is young.
I don't have it.
Speaker 2He's around there yet.
Okay, did you know that for sure?
Did you just say that?
I had to watch other videos a brand.
Speaker 1Thanks.
So he is young, but he's not that young age.
And you guys are young.
Yeah, what's with that?
You guys are young.
You guys are young.
It's fine.
I'm young too, Yeah.
Speaker 2Say it.
Speaker 1His pet say I'm young too, Yeah, your heart, I think you're young.
Yes.
Speaker 2So, Rizzo's pet, Peeve, is as a fan of Survivor, people who make emotional or illogical decisions.
Very spock answer from riz g got those two things alone showed me that he's ready to play and play hard and he's not just gonna be like a meme character.
Speaker 1In this season.
Speaker 4He's got he's got some work going behind the scenes, you know.
Speaker 2But here's the best part about Rizzo, and this is why you should support Rizzky, but don't draft him because I'm drafting them.
Which is They ask him who is your biggest inspiration and why, and he said, aside from my parents, gotta be John Cena, whoa growing up, the three constants were served ver sports and wrestling.
He is the definition of never give up, no matter how hard life got, no matter the obstacles.
Those three words got me through it all.
He taught me grit, determination, and optimism.
Speaker 1As a kid.
Seeing him defy the odds motivated me to do the same.
He still hustling, loyalty and respect.
Speaker 3I was about to say, I thought the three words were gonna be hustle, loyalty, respect.
Speaker 2Come on, the man taught me things I still hold on to and will in this game.
That's insane.
I hated seeing that fact.
He then goes on to say all that.
He then goes on to say that the trait about himself that will help him win the game is that he is the luckiest person he's ever met.
Speaker 1He has so much luck that's interesting.
Speaker 2I think he's gonna use that luck to get all the way to the end of forty nine win that go to fifty win, that they're gonna bring them back for fifty two, not fifty one, and he's gonna win that one as well become the first.
Speaker 1Well know if that'd be so chase?
Speaker 3If you get the first round pick, if you defy all the odds and you don't have to pick last for the first time ever.
Speaker 5Which this is an insane hypothetical, never gonna happen.
Speaker 1It's gonna happen eventually.
Speaker 3Every single time you've been last, it's been one hundred percent of the time.
I don't think it's gonna change.
But if you got the first pick, would you take the risk?
God, would you consider it?
Speaker 2I don't want to show my cards already and let you guys know what I'm gonna do for the draft.
But yeah, this is what I'll say about risk.
Got a couple of things that are a bit of a turnoff for me.
One, he's a Sena fan and a Yankee fan scram.
Two, I don't trust lucky people because they're trying.
There's a Yeah, how strategic can he be if he's relying almost entirely on luck.
Speaker 5He's a lucky person.
There is some luck in the game of survivor.
I think that's what documented.
But you also how big of a fan is he, like a he's a super fan.
Sometimes then super fan with him, Okay, sometimes them super fans can get in there and just over overread the room, like overplay.
Speaker 1Every now it'sis paralysis.
It's exactly right.
Speaker 2I mean, at the end of the day, we know that he was one of two players.
We know he's at least relatively far he's gonna because.
Speaker 5I mean, they still brought back Boston Robb even though he didn't go insanely far the first time, exactly because they saw something in him.
Speaker 4I do feel like sometimes people who say they're really lucky, though, are the people who are like showing up and doing enough stuff that it works.
So there is a possible strategy there where he just feels like he's lucky just working hard, but he's actually just doing the thing that works.
Speaker 2He works in sales, does oh but not commission based sales.
And he even he goes he goes, I'm not like one of those scummy car salesmen.
Speaker 1He goes I work in tech.
Speaker 2I wanted to work in media, but there's not a lot of money in media, and I support my family and I take care of my family.
Speaker 4So he's a really great person.
And if you talk badly about him at all, probably the devil.
I kind of like him from what I'm hearing.
Yeah, he seems swell.
He seems swell.
Speaker 1All right, let's move on.
Number two.
Is MC?
I put people off at first.
Speaker 7I think I'm going to be like a mean girl or standoffish.
I feel like I need to remember to smile, so I don't have RBF.
Speaker 1What is RBS for?
Speaker 2I left in a little bit of the music on a lot of these because I thought it was funny for there to be like half a second.
That is Michelle MC.
Speaker 5She's twenty nine and she's a personal trainer, but also is in sales, but only for the insurance benefits girls same.
Speaker 2She is a new Survivor fan.
She only started watching in season forty seven.
Who she's I know, very quick turnaround to watch forty seven and then immediately apply and get on for forty nine.
Is I think a lot of people.
Speaker 3Are like, if I open the coconut, they would cheer for me.
Speaker 5Yes, she'd in between forty seven and coming out to Fiji for this.
Speaker 1She's been watched half the seasons.
Speaker 5She's not going to tell anybody that she's a new fan though, and I understand why, Like if you have been applying to be on this show for like many many years, like a lot of these people have, and you find out one person watched forty seven.
Speaker 1Applied and immediately got to pay.
Speaker 5Her parents immigrated from Nigeria, so she's the child of immigrants and she expects big They expect big things from her, like being a doctor or whatever.
So she promptly moved to La to work in sales.
Speaker 1So she's hoping that.
Speaker 5This is the big break that will make her parents proud of her.
An interesting thing about her is she doesn't drink any caffeine, no coffee, no energy drinks, no nothing, no soda.
She doesn't do that, which I think might come into play at least early on to give her an advantage.
Speaker 1Yeah, she doesn't have to have withdraws.
Speaker 5Yeah, she is super strong, like she is a personal trainer.
Her video is almost all just her flexing at the camera.
Very impressive.
My fear with that is maybe immediate threats like.
She is an outspoken woman who's also incredibly strong, which is a tough tough thing to have when you're playing Survivor.
So we'll see another interesting thing.
She did not practice any puzzles of any kind before going to the island.
Speaker 1We'll see if that comes back to.
Speaker 5Bide her her Survivor hot take call it recency bias, but she thinks that the new era is better than the old era hounter.
And then the reason that she thinks that she is gonna be the sole survivor is quote, I've got the social charm to be everyone's best friend and outwit, but I've also got the athleticism to crush physical challenges and outplay.
I've got the mental endurance to outlast.
She's got it all.
Very interesting player.
I like her a lot.
I think she is going to be one of those people in episode one where you hear people go, she's a threat threat, we need to get her out of here quick, and so I think that could play against her or could be one of those things that, hey, we've got to get the other weaker players out first early on.
Speaker 1So that we can win some challenges.
She has that going for her.
Speaker 4It totally depends on how you know, if she's just gonna hop on the island and be like, Oh, don't worry guys, like I can build it like.
Speaker 2I work out all the time.
You know, sometimes people play it that way and they get weird.
She's definitely an interesting player.
She is the type of player that I think could go far.
My gut says that she won't win, but we'll see.
Speaker 1Remember when TK was too fast and they voted him off?
Speaker 2Yeah, too, like that to that point.
Speaker 5That is some of the luck that comes especially early on in Survivor, Like the tribe that you end up on is either going to be a tribe that quickly votes out the strong players because they think their threats or feels like they need to keep the strong people along to get them further along in the game.
Speaker 1And it is.
Speaker 2Just a try by tribe basis.
And she'll probably be great in the mud baptism.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, were ready.
Speaker 2To move on?
Speaker 3Actually, can I tell a story about me saying that's how you do it?
Unironically didn't mean that it just came out.
Speaker 1Were you watching football?
No, I was cutting a steak.
I was cutting his stake.
Speaker 3The person wanted twenty ounces and it was like it was a kid, and I was like, that's how you do it.
Speaker 2It didn't even pop into your head.
No, it just just float out of me.
How is this kid not too big?
We're not like Rizzler.
Maybe a gym rat kid.
Oh okay, going out to his car to eat that meat raw?
Those people eating raw?
Speaker 1I like my steak?
How I like my Egyptian gods raw?
Oh yeah, I'm up.
Nest right, here's the next player.
Speaker 8I've been watching The Vivor with my family since elementary school.
I remember watching Rob and Amber canoodling on screen and I'm on b like, I can't believe they're showing this on TV.
And then I think it spurred her to like giving like the birds and the beef talk with me.
Speaker 3That's my favorite SoundBite out of all of them, I thinks.
So my first contestant is Sophie Sigretti, and if you don't draft her, you might regretty.
Speaker 2Ready.
Speaker 3So, just like shaw Haen last season, Sophie was an alternate for forty eight and she said that, like, one of the worst parts of that whole thing was the cast photo because she was outed as an alternate and the chances were getting slimmer and slimmer for her to get on the show, and then she said that she saw the dreams slowly disappear from her eyes and she was devastated and furious.
Speaker 2Yeah, because the way, if you don't know, the way that they do those alternates is you don't really know you're an alternate until everyone's in Fiji.
Yeah, and speaking of alternates, MC, who we just talked about, and she was.
Speaker 1Oh, yeah, Truel, because we're two alternates.
This is I think this might be the first time that get to later on.
Yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, there was a little behind the bathroom deal.
The bathroom deal we got exposed.
Speaker 1I love a behind the bathroom deal.
Yeah, so uh, Sophie.
Speaker 3She said something that was very poignant for reality TV right now.
She said, when people get really sad that they hurt someone's feelings at tribal part of me is like, get a grip.
This is a game.
It's a game for a million dollars.
This is twenty six days.
It's like the type of thing when somebody's on a reality show and they say I love you after a week.
Speaker 1You're in a silo, you're in a vacuum.
Speaker 2Get your head out of your get your head out of your ass, and remember where you are.
Dude, Vincent Morgan, Dude, She's not the only one like that this season.
And I'm so excited.
Speaker 1Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2So Sophie is thirty one and she does product strategy at YouTube.
Wow, and you might you might wonder what what does that entail?
What is product strategy at YouTube?
And based off her answer, I have no idea.
It's just she's like, I'm sending play buttons out.
Speaker 3Okay, so Mike Bloom and shout out Mike Bloom, by the way, because we got to give Mike his flowers.
Most of our information I feel like comes from Mike Bloom.
Speaker 1I would say all of it.
Speaker 3Most Yeah, I'd say, like, this is the Mike Bloom Show.
So he asked what does that involve considering how big a product YouTube is, and she said yeah, because obviously huge company, huge products.
I really narrow in on something we call our impact reports, which focus on the good impact that YouTube is creating in all countries around the world.
Speaker 5So, like, her job is like what thirty minutes a day, yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2How many jobs are we do?
How many jobs are we creating?
Speaker 1Because creators are hiring people.
Speaker 3How much money are we contributing to different countries GDPs because we're paying.
Speaker 2Creators to this podcast, that's right.
Yeah, and you know what, Chase is buying pizza today.
This is put that in the impact report.
Speaker 1Hey, we couldn't do it without suck, Yeah, she said.
Speaker 3So it's kind of nice.
You know, AI and tech are under fire these days, and sometimes for very good reason, so it's nice to get a look at the positive side of things.
And then part of that is a little bit of economics and math.
So she's smart obviously.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And I like to dig deep for my contestants because that's what Jeff tells us to do.
He tells us, Yeah, you gotta dig deep.
That's what Jeff says.
So the first thing I did for Sophie was I went to YouTube.
I typed her name.
Speaker 1Hmmm.
Speaker 3I found a sketch group that she wrote for in college, centered around the school she went to, and it wasn't good.
Oh, as is the case for most college sketch groups.
Speaker 2If she's listening to this, do you want to kind of backtrack on that because I'm gonna give her props later.
Speaker 3Okay, So I found this ten minute talk that she gave.
It was a Moth Radio Hour parody and it was all about her lifelong of session with becoming famous.
Speaker 2Oh oh, and you might see that as a red flag, but I thought she was really well spoken and she had good cadence.
Speaker 3But it was from nine years ago and has one hundred views.
So do we have a clip or I don't have a clip, but I want to talk about her attempts at getting famed.
Speaker 1Oh I would let she to discussed, yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2Attempt number one she tried to get in Greece, you know the musical as a child, didn't have the vocal range, did not get cast.
Hmuh you guys want to hear my John Travolta impression from that movie?
Speaker 1Yeah, because he also didn't have the vocal range for it.
Cindy, what are you doing here?
That's exactly what he sounds like.
Yeah, great job.
Speaker 3So in middle school she tried doing hand puppet covers of Kelly Clarkson on YouTube.
Nice to later discover that her parents made it to where the videos couldn't be seen by the public.
Speaker 1So good move by the parents.
And then a senior year of high school and.
Speaker 3She's worried about becoming another cog in the business machine that doesn't have an effect on anyone personally, because she wants to be a star baby.
Speaker 1Yeah we've all been there.
Yeah.
Speaker 3She can't sing, and she didn't think that she had what it takes to be a button model, and everybody knows that singing and showing your butt that's how you get famous on Instagram.
Speaker 1So she had to pivot.
Speaker 2She's like, I'll go with comedy, and then she went to also jam.
Speaker 5Yeah, you know, I just can I'm not going to show my butt like that.
Well I disagree.
I think the butt modeling stuff is really taking.
Speaker 1Is it working?
Yeah?
Speaker 2Okay, do you guys know where to look?
I just I wasn't so sure that I was ready to go public with it.
Well yeah, so this is where I share the greatest discovery of all because her idea, after you know, trying to pivot to comedy, is that she was going to go to BuzzFeed, figure out what's trending, and do something based off that.
And she determined that the two most popular things in the world nine or ten years ago were the Kardashians and SpongeBob references Yep, she nailed it.
So her idea was to take pictures of Kim and Kanye together and photoshot Patrick Starr in place of Kanye West.
Speaker 1With the account is still active in the screenshots.
Speaker 2Oh man, no way, what's the account called.
Speaker 1I'll just look it up.
This is I actually love this so much.
What's it called?
This is called Kim Rick Starr?
Man?
Speaker 4I mean, yeah, this is the best.
Did it blow up?
Speaker 7No?
Speaker 3I think I think it has like a few hundred followers.
Speaker 1How did that not work?
Camery Star?
Okay, yeah, that's I feel like, yeah, send it my way.
I I feel like this, Wow, when did she do this?
Guys?
We'll put some of these pictures up on the Instagram if you wanted to see.
Speaker 2I think it was about a decade ago.
Early.
Speaker 1It was a great idea.
Yeah, this is phenomenal.
It's a good photoshop.
Speaker 2But do you think she was too early to this that would work?
Speaker 1It wouldn't work now because he's a Nazi.
But are you right now?
I forgot he's not.
Speaker 3Really involved in this because he's replaced by Patrick.
Speaker 1I say, restore it, you know, restore the.
Speaker 3Bring back, bring back Pete Davidson, like photoshot Patrick with Davidson.
Speaker 2Ye Windward on Pete Davidson.
Really well, Brandon is also going to run that page.
I will run that page all collapse.
I was gonna say, should get that going and then maybe just try to get her in on it during the season.
Speaker 1Totally should do so.
Speaker 3The other thing I found from Sophie was a podcast she made titled History of the Sports bra It had a nine episode run.
Speaker 1I listened to some of it.
It was pretty good.
Speaker 2Was it informative or was it comedian?
Hey, Pete, real quick, what's the history of the sports bra U?
She didn't really get into it.
It's more of a joke.
Speaker 1Yeah, well man.
Speaker 2None of these attempts at getting famous panned out.
Speaker 1You know.
Speaker 3Nine years ago she was at Washington University.
Two years ago she graduated from Columbia.
She works at YouTube.
It seemed like Sophie was just destined to be a cog in the business machine world.
Speaker 1And honest until she got cast, act until she.
Speaker 3Got cast by jacked casting producer Jesse Tannenbaum.
And now Sophie, you're gonna be famous kids.
Speaker 1Yeah, Sophie's choice.
I don't know.
I was trying to work it on.
Speaker 2It's like the total drama Sophie's choice, said Roston, completely encapsulates.
Speaker 1Is that the right word?
Yeah?
Brother?
What the show total drama Island.
Speaker 2Is because it's an animated parody of Survivor and the theme song is about how I wanna be famous, and that's what she's doing.
Speaker 1Keep going with the song real quick.
Speaker 2No no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
Speaker 1No, Yeah, a little bit more real quick.
I can't remember it.
Speaker 2I want to be I want to be famous.
That's pretty much as whole Up next, Up next, Jonathan's on the covery.
Time I go outside, somebody compliments my hair and it's just like, I think, this look just makes me a lot more approachable.
Speaker 1Oh beautiful.
Week number one, we've got mister Matt Williams.
This man is.
Speaker 4Fifty two, by the way, he's the oldest in Survivor.
Speaker 1Forty.
Speaker 4Yeah, he's from Farmington, Utah.
But now he's in Saint George, Utah.
Don't get it, don't get it twisted.
He did move.
This man is an airport ramp agent.
Trust bagh.
Yeah, I mean tell me why you would trust him so much?
Brandon with his hair, his hair is really awesome.
I feel, you know, already so close to Matt, by the way, because I just had to study, believe it or not, about an airport ramp agent because I'm getting a weird pilot's license for druns and you have to learn these dumb things.
So now Matt is my number one pick.
Okay, yeah, pretty quiet about that.
He's actually only because of the airport stuff.
I feel an unmerited like bond because of the drones.
Speaker 1Right right right, right, right right right.
Speaker 4If I was landing a drone and Matt had the ramp, i'd feel good about it.
So anyway, so he describes himself as quote confident, curious, and spontaneous.
Oh so he's in it though for the Fiji experience.
Speaker 1For the money.
No, no, not at all.
Speaker 2Well, I believe he used to work in like Silicon Valley and wanted a more slow.
Speaker 1Did you do this guy or is Jonathan's guy?
Speaker 2Hey man, I'm a complete professional, So I did Everyone's guy?
Speaker 1Everyone ship in anytime you want?
What?
Huh?
Never mind?
All right?
Speaker 4Uh so, but he really really wants to cling to a telephone poll in his underwear.
Speaker 1It's one of the things that he also said, did you hear that?
He said that?
Speaker 4So anyway, this is Matt.
I love his personality.
I love just his hair.
In general, I think that he is going to be.
Speaker 2A kind of like a fan favorite personality, just kind of villain.
Speaker 1Hey, I mean, we don't know.
But that's the thing is, there's not a.
Speaker 4Ton right now out there about this other than what we're seeing.
Yeah, you know, in general, but there is a little bit of buzz online saying that, you know, he might be under the radar.
You know, some of the Reddit people are saying that they think he could be one of those slips past, you know, a few tribals and really shows himself Fiji.
Speaker 1I'm not a threat psych.
I wont all of the individual immunity challenge.
Speaker 4Yeah, so I'm interested to see him play.
Fifty two is pretty cool to be on here.
I try to remember it was.
Speaker 2Sue Rudy was in his seventies, so yeah, it's not that cool.
Speaker 1Oh that's right, that's right.
Speaker 2But fifty two I'm interested to see, like what type of player he is.
Speaker 1He could like, I don't know.
Speaker 5I think people are coming back around to older players, yeah, and kind of being in actual alliances with them, and I think that this guy is not only an older guy who has wisdom and whatnot, but also is like a really seems and the one sentence that I heard from him seems to be a really cool guy you want to hang out with.
Speaker 1Well, not like just somebody that hey, I'm gonna bring.
Speaker 2Him to the end because they're an easy easy when because maybe they're not want to be everybody loves well.
Speaker 4One of the things he did say was that he kind of wants to go into that subservient role first, where it's like, oh, sure, like I'll i'll be helpful, I'll do whatever, and he's like, but when it's time, I'm gonna turn it on.
Speaker 2Kind of a classic old school feel to it.
So, you know, mat, here's the keyword.
He's gonna kid John Little.
Speaker 3He has one hundred and fifteen followers on Instagram just follow making the merge follows him.
Speaker 4Yeah, I'm gonna message him and say hello, fellow Airways person.
You know That's what I'm gonna say.
Yeah, he and I are pretty much the same, because what do you do?
I fly a drone, chase get a get ahead with it.
You know, I'm pretty much the same as an airport worker.
You know, Hey, that's stolen valley.
Speaker 2No, No, I'm a certified after I'm a pilot.
Speaker 1Doesn't he just do the bags though?
Speaker 2Yeah?
But you know they say that you're only as good as the bottom rung of a business.
Wow, so you're saying that he's the bottom of the bear.
I think that they're all the top of the bear.
Speaker 1You know what.
Speaker 5I trust Jonathan to describe the bottoms, because, as we've already mentioned.
Speaker 1Instagram, the bottom on that I think you'll forgetting.
Speaker 4I'm in person and that I can lunch across this desk at any of yellowis.
Speaker 1In your bottom, buddy, I'm not afraid.
No, okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 7I have a necklace that says boss on it that I were every day and I had to leave that at home.
Speaker 1Oh.
I love when the friends themes.
Speaker 2Guys, I want to introduce you to my new favorite Survivor player of all time, Kimberly Davis.
Speaker 1Wow.
Speaker 2More likable than the risk God.
Speaker 1Oh wait, I didn't say that.
Speaker 2Okay, who said that about somebody last year or two?
Speaker 1But I don't remember who it was.
Speaker 2He's gonna say it about all of them, so probably, But no, this person is unhinged.
Dude, this is great.
Great boss necklace.
Okay, yeah, has a necklace, says boss on.
Speaker 1It had to leave it at home.
Speaker 2Guys here, I'm just gonna give you a few quotes from Kimberly Davis, and then I have a little thing to play.
Speaker 7Uh.
Speaker 2She goes, Survivor is the true game of life, unlike the dumb eighties game where you get married and having kids define success.
Then she goes on to say, what, Yeah, can we rewinde for one moment?
You just run that back.
Speaker 1That was just a bad answer or a bad read.
Yeah that was her.
Okay, wait, I'm serious.
Speaker 2He is the true game of life, unlike the dumb eighties game.
We're getting married and having kids define success.
That was only happening in the eighties.
Yeah, the board game the game of life.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Then she As an entrepreneur and CEO, I have had to learn how to separate business from emotion when making big decisions.
Speaker 1This is where it gets crazy.
I think, I know that gets crazy.
Speaker 2In March of twenty twenty, I had to lay off twenty eight of my thirty employees, who are also some of my closest friends.
But the company survived COVID and is alive to this day because of my decisions, because it had two people in it and.
Speaker 1She hired them all back.
No right, Okay.
Speaker 2Then she goes on to say trust has no place in Survivor.
It is by nature a game of deceit.
And then Brandon, if you can get ready to play?
Speaker 1This has a band?
What trashy any what's the genre?
You'll hear it on.
Speaker 2The corner by the city Limit sign a chi line to move down on Hollywood and Vine bringing long haired body.
Speaker 1Like the way it shines a little bit, but I shake it just fine.
Speaker 2Whoa, I believe it.
Speaker 1It's more butt content for baking.
Band of Wolves got at.
Speaker 2The whole.
I love it when my vocals are recorded a warehouse, we can start phasing it out.
Speaker 1I just wanted you guys to hear.
Speaker 2She has a country rock band called Trashy an that you know that it's not just a hobby she is.
She's signed to a record label and she she goes on tours.
It's a real band, Okay, And she wants to make sure that you know that.
Interesting.
Speaker 1Did she say who she was signed to or is this like I don't know crazy.
Speaker 2Here's what.
Speaker 1It's not gonna say about Trashy Annie the band.
Speaker 2I listened to a bunch of the songs because I was like, oh man, I got a find a bad song so we can make a bunch of jokes.
Honestly, I kind of really enjoyed my ride over here listening to all the songs.
Speaker 1It really wasn't too you would have enjoyed that song.
It's pretty like it's not bad.
Ye know it's bad.
Speaker 2This is what I'm.
Speaker 3And me and Jonathan are anti trashy Annie and laying off.
Speaker 1However, many people you know, I don't support that, but I do like Chase.
Speaker 2Fire and all our friends and tell them get last nineteen people, and I saved the job.
Turns out two people can do the work of thirty.
Speaker 1And I'm just the ball.
I have gone the extra mile here for us.
By the way, I'm looking.
Speaker 4Up one thing in two seconds chat GPT no, no, no what.
I looked at her music and then I went down and I found who the record label is.
And now I'm looking at Take forty four.
It is at least the distribution and I can't find a thing about them, but they are.
Speaker 1Saying take for maybe they all got laid off during COVID.
This is what I'll say about her.
If she's a villain.
Villains are back, baby, the villains.
Speaker 5Like, and that's deciding.
There's been you know, some some conversation that villain.
They don't let villains cook like they used to on Survivor.
I mean this woman's diaballa.
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2You listen to her song nuclear Meltdowns and it'll really give you some more insight.
Speaker 1What's it about her business?
No, No, she's.
Speaker 2Gonna survive, Jonathan.
Speaker 4Yeah, I mean people survive nuclear meltdowns, but they just run while everyone else is left behind.
Speaker 1You know.
Wow, she's gonna be like, let's lay off Matt tonight.
I mean vote out Matt.
Speaker 2Yeah, Matt, you're fired.
Speaker 1It's like we're putting him on temporary leave.
The severance package is great though.
Oh only if you make it so far though, Yeah, yeah, all right, next one, next one.
Okay.
My mom doesn't even watched her Biber.
Speaker 8She brought me a suitcase full of coconuts one day, and she's like, well, if you're gonna eat coconuts out there, like, you need to practice opening these.
Speaker 1It's a smart mom.
And this is a smart mom.
Speaker 2That's Jason Schrull, who's thirty two from Anaheim, California, and he is a law clerk.
As previously mentioned, he was one of the alternates that got pulled into this season last second because of some behind the bathroom deals information that we don't have much on aside from it happened, and at the time of this interview, he was not aware that he was actually going to be playing this season.
I wouldn't find out until the next day.
Speaker 1Wow Ate.
Speaker 5The first season that he watched was Survivor gabone because of Kenny.
Those that have seen the season know that Kenny is known for two things.
Speaker 1One what a heel Turned by Kenny?
Two?
Speaker 2Super Smash Brothers Champion.
Speaker 1He slows the world.
Speaker 5Playing Super Smash Brothers and that is Jason's game of choice.
Uh They also both He's from uh Sow, so is Kenny, and they shared the same birthday.
Speaker 1Whoa Kenny Part Two?
Heel Turned from this guy?
How about that?
Speaker 2Jason has what he calls little guy energy and is just afraid all the time.
Speaker 1I thought you were gonna go like Napoleon's He's just afraid.
Speaker 2His hobbies are and I quote video games, Rollerblading, dance dance Revolution, video games, acoustic guitar, Panda Express, video games.
Speaker 1I love that dance dance Revolution is that's a sport.
He didn't want to say video games four times.
Yes.
Speaker 5One of the thing that I found interesting is his pet peeve is people who are afraid to be wrong or look silly.
Speaker 2Own your mistakes.
I believe that showing weakness is strength.
I like when people say that because I think that level or that or at least being willing to be that vulnerable can get you far in the game.
It can get people to trust you.
But you also have to know when to play those cards.
And him being he doesn't.
Speaker 5He's afraid of everything, but he doesn't want people to be afraid to speak their mind.
Speaker 2And so I'm interested to see if this comes back to bite.
Speaker 4I feel like too, sometimes people who are like people need to be more willing to own their mistakes are the people who don't own their mistakes and want everyone to say that they're right.
Yeah, you know, you've got to be a little bit careful with that, Like you don't know how you won.
Speaker 1That is not what I said.
Speaker 2So I can just shut up and why why he should win so soul survivor.
He says, I'm just a small little guy.
People will underestimate me.
You gotta stop with the little guy, just a just a fellow.
Speaker 1He gets to be strong, Joys, and I.
Speaker 2Will even though I'm goofy and look full of weakness.
Speaker 1I cannot do that.
Jonathan just choked.
If you put your hands on me, brother, we would have been fighting.
Yeah, this table.
Speaker 2I put this table together so it could fall quickly, actually breakaway.
Yeah, even though I'm goofy and full of weakness.
Speaker 1By man, I was on his side there.
Speaker 2For the One thing I know is I kick ass at adapting, learning from my mistakes and rallying hard.
Speaker 1If they keep me long enough, they can't stop me.
Speaker 2Scared until the end when I take over because they can no longer stop me.
It's interesting because the final three he is giving, he is giving big Kenny or small Kenny energy.
Yeah, like he sounds a lot like Kenny.
One of the things that helped Kenny a lot in his season is that the season had no strategy aside from Kenny, and the game has changed so much now it's all strategy.
And I don't know if little guy energy is going to be able to scale the world strategy if he's gonna be able to skate by just being all strategy.
You always wondered what it would be like if a La Boo Boo plays.
That was a very reference.
Thanks man, Thanks, La Boo Boo.
I like to stay.
Can we call him a little boothoo, little laboo boo boo, little boo boo.
Yeah, little boo boo.
All right, next player, Next player.
Speaker 9Two weeks ago, sitting my coach watching Survivor with a cold beer in my hand, four feet of snowside minus twenty and now I'm sitting in Fiji.
Speaker 1Guess where he's from?
Speaker 3Where?
Speaker 1Canada?
Speaker 3Oh, Alberta, Yeah so yeah, that was Jake Latimer.
Speaker 2Jake has reminder this is Survivor North America, folks, not Survivor America.
Speaker 3That's right, Jake, He's from Canada.
He was a pro hockey player in Australia.
Wasn't good enough to play in Canada, had to go to Australia, but he got injured pretty quick, met a girl in Australia, brought her back to Canada.
They got married, and then he became a correctional officer.
So here's the wild story part.
If that wasn't wild enough, I hate that guy.
Speaker 1This guy sucks.
This guy's a part of the incarceration.
Speaker 2He works in a prison for people who were already like institutionalized.
And oh okay, yeah guy, she waits to hear the details.
Guys before you just hate Sorry, yeah, gosh, comedy about hard fast opinions.
Right away, I'll get into why I always works.
I hate him for different reasons.
We'll get there.
But here's the wild story part.
Jake's dad has glaucoma.
He's projected to lose his eyesight around the end of this year, and this is the only chance his dad will ever get to see him play Survivor.
Oh my god, yeah that no, don't do which you look you call me a villain, call me a villain.
Speaker 1But it's like, does his dad even like Survivor?
Speaker 2That is true, We don't mean it feels like it's Survivor's actually super sweet.
Speaker 1Then yeah, go back to Dan Bill Jonathan.
Speaker 2So all right, so I said that was the wild part.
Here's the actually wild part.
Uh.
Speaker 3And this is just insane, Like I couldn't believe this when I saw it.
He so he wants to go on Survivor so his dad can see him play.
But here's the thing.
Jake and his wife have been trying to have a baby for four years.
She finally does get and it turns out that the do date is while he will.
Speaker 2Be I'm going to say it, you'd have to you'd have to back out of Survivor.
Speaker 3She told him to do it, and she said that the family will be waiting for him.
Speaker 1She doesn't mean it's like she was like, fine, go and I was like, I got the old.
This also isn't the reason why I hate him.
It's a different reason.
Speaker 4The thing is, it's crazy that his dad is going to get to see him on Survivor and get to see him be a deadbeat dad.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Wait, hold on, if he wins the million, I think it's he's got to win brother girlfriend.
I just don't think it worked.
If he wins the million.
This is different than than David.
Speaker 2This is different, Like I don't like is it?
Speaker 1I want to get it?
Speaker 3I don't want to get Yeah, this guy is not David.
I mean he's a little David, like for reasons they'll but this part is not David.
Speaker 2Like I don't want to get into the economy.
But a million dollars just doesn't go as far as it used to.
Speaker 1I mean, like, you make millions, but we make.
Speaker 5Millions every episode and we're still just barely making it.
Speaker 1We're still small girls.
Speaker 5Like that baby's not going to see that money.
That baby is not going to see her their dad.
Speaker 1But that baby's not going to remember that day anyway.
Speaker 2Brand, baby's not.
Speaker 1Going to know that the dad wasn't there.
Speaker 2Everybody in there.
Speaker 4I think brand and I will agree that after seeing children born for the first time right like it is here Brands, Like, I wasn't.
Speaker 5Podcasting, Yeah, I was watching a homemark Christmas well first there was a premiere that night.
Speaker 4If Kristen looked at me and said it's fine, go away for days and days and days, I I feel like, I know, like there's still no way I should do this.
And to miss your first child's birth child years of trying, wildest event.
Speaker 3Child when Daddy Probes comes calling, Yeah, you got it.
Speaker 1That's the conversation though, was like, I mean, if you feel like you need that's what I'm.
Speaker 3Okay.
I keep saying hate is a strong word.
These people will probably listen to this show.
So I want to say I don't actually hate anybody.
Speaker 1Right, let's because we might have some new fan.
Let's do our little bit claimer.
Speaker 2Yeah, hey, guys, we treat them not as real people, but as characters on a TV show.
We have become really good friends with people that we have done giant rants about from previous seasons.
This is entertainment.
We're making jokes, but also pretty wild that you left it okay, So let's get things can be true.
Speaker 3He says he loves Sam from forty seven and Joe from forty eight.
Speaker 2Sam and Joe baby.
Speaker 1So the next thing bothered me.
Speaker 3Maybe not as much as what Joe said about d but it's like a close second.
Mister Jake said that Sam should have won forty seven.
Speaker 1WHOA, that's just the wrong one.
He's wrong because he played the game with honor.
Did he say this with a glass of milk in his hand?
Guys?
Speaker 2I'm starting to think that the reason that Riz and the other guy brought to forty nine is because everyone else is so unlikable.
I didn't know the first.
Speaker 3Villain and then this is amazing.
Brace yourselves for this.
Speaker 2The wording on his answer here, Mike, Mike Bloom asked him, what's your favorite moment in Survivor history?
And he said, Joe and Eva there when she had her autistic little episode.
Word for word crazy right here, I'm not making it up with this again.
He has always seen two seasons of Survivors.
If what's your favorite moment of Survivor history the one that just happened.
Speaker 3To Yeah, so Joe and Eva there when she had her autistic little episode.
Could we find a different way to say that?
But he said when he went to confront her, I was crying on the couch.
Speaker 1Of course.
Speaker 3I mean that's an emotional thing, and the audience, people in America, people in Canada, that's what brings them back to watching the next episode.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 3I'm not saying I'm going to be crying holding everyone, but that's the exact man.
Speaker 2I hope to be one.
We know one he's gonna be like, hey, you got autism.
Speaker 1Well we know that he won't be crying holding his firstborn either.
Speaker 3So he wants to play an extremely loyal game, and that is Jake Latimer.
Speaker 2He'll walk on the beach and be like real quick chow of hands, and who is autistic?
Speaker 1I want to.
Speaker 2Have an autistic little episode.
Speaker 1I don't help you out.
He's like, everyone on the beach make eye contact with me.
Speaker 3Yeah, and I think we we called it an episode.
That's what Eva calls it her episodes.
But when you say little.
Speaker 2Little episode, the name of that episode is actually to a little episode.
Speaker 1So he even has a.
Speaker 2Little problem, you know, a little guy with an autistical little episode and Sam show best players ever.
Speaker 1All right, let's just move on.
Speaker 5You know how many people as I was reading, talk about how Rachel is their favorite player of all time.
Speaker 2This guy's on the wrong side of.
Speaker 1A lot of new era Rachel rules.
Okay, are you ready?
Yeah, okay.
My husband is very supportive of me being out here.
He was like, do what you need to do.
Speaker 7But he told me, do not come back without the money.
Speaker 1I'll not come back.
I love I do love that the music's left at the end.
It's my favorite part.
Like, okay, we got We've got.
Christina Mills.
Speaker 4She is thirty six years old and from Houston, Texas, Houston, but relocated to Edmund, Oklahoma.
Speaker 1Moved.
Speaker 4She's moved, just letting y'all know when they move.
Her address is not so her occupation.
Guys, do you know what an NBA career coach is, guys, Do any of y'all actually know what that is?
Speaker 10Is?
Speaker 1Like the NBA but with an M.
Yeah, yeah, the National Monster Mash so good.
Yeah.
Speaker 4Okay, So she is an MBA career coach.
So what this job is is that she helps business students enroll for what they need and usually a coach will follow along their career paths, helping them find their strengths and what they're good at and finding the right field for them to work in.
So I do love that she helps people kind of like find the things that they're good at because she studied them.
She's studying people and she's watching them carefully in the war room with the Johnny Walker.
Speaker 2Yeah, but I think that that may give her an advantage of reading people and finding the things or the personality traits that would you know, make them either good opponents or bad opponents.
Speaker 4Sure, because this is part of her job.
It's a high paying job too, guys, if you can get in that field.
This is a money making podcast anyway.
Speaker 7So.
Speaker 1She has a little bit of media buzz.
Speaker 2Part of the show's lineup is I've like completely typed the craziest sentence here in my notes, Guys, I don't even know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1No, no, no, Yeah, for real, dude, I just read my sentence.
It was like, man, I was half asleep type of this.
Speaker 4But her her kind of thing that a lot of people the buzz is about her is that they think she will be a guru type person that plots and finds the underlying things about people or different alliances.
Speaker 2They think she's very smart and very tech, but she doesn't call herself a guru.
I don't think she.
Speaker 4I don't like it when people I don't remember her saying that, but the buzz online is that she so them the buzz.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 4So again, what I think you can kind of watch for with her is that she is good at finding people's strength and weaknesses.
She's also with her job, going to be good at motivating people potentially.
Speaker 2And she seems like a very uh, very sweet person like a very nice personality.
Speaker 3So and she has to stay in Fiji unless she comes home with the money.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean that's there's a part of her husband being like, don't come home unless you got the money, which could be a real problem for her.
Speaker 3So maybe she'll be on fifty, but she's like, I'm not playing.
I'm just hanging out because I'm.
Speaker 1Not allowed to leave.
I never wanted a million, so my husband said, don't come home.
Speaker 3She's sitting out of every all I remember from her intro video, She's like, I am a liberal and everywhere around me is red.
So I'm used to dealing with people who don't agree with me, and so maybe that'll help her.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2Season of fifty is just Jeff being like Christina is sitting out again, not supposed to be hear.
Speaker 1Yeah, she's not supposed to hear.
But it's like the one kid that can get picked up from cars line after.
Speaker 10All.
Speaker 1Right, next, Okay, my.
Speaker 10Spirit animal are pana bears.
Speaker 2They're big and they're fluffy, but they have really sharp teeth and claws and you would never expect that.
Jeremiah Ing, which I think that's such a fun last name because it makes your first name an action verb.
Dude, Jeremiah, Jeremiah.
Speaker 1We're gonna say that a lot.
Feel like it's a very millennial thing to say to Jeremiah.
Speaker 3Yeah, gotta have my coffee before, Jeremiah.
Speaker 1I'm gonna kill you.
It hurts a large boy.
Speaker 2Jeremiah was asked who do you think you will play most like?
Uh huh, and they said, I think I'll play most like Yam Yam.
Speaker 1He laughter and positivity to the game.
Speaker 2And Jeremiah's whole thing is that the very outspoken, very bubbly personality gonna be everyone's best friend.
Speaker 1I think that's a great strategy and modern day survivor.
Speaker 2And when asked why do you think you will be the sole survivor, Jeremiah said, because I'm a karate kid and no one will ever see me coming.
Speaker 1He's a panda Bear's panda.
Yeah, let's hope it's not like the reboot with Jane.
Speaker 2You know, we moved to China.
Speaker 1But really, not much to say about Jeremiah.
Speaker 2I think Jeremiah is gonna be one of these players like Yam Yam, where so likable, so much fun, gonna best friends with everybody.
Speaker 1They're gonna go far in the game.
But will they win.
Speaker 2I don't know, you know, there's no fun, trashy, any fun facts about Jeremiah.
Speaker 1You don't think Fu Panda has what it takes.
Speaker 2I mean, I think Kung Fu Panda can be the Dragon Warrior, but I don't know if the Kung Fu panda can be the sole survivor.
Speaker 1Interesting.
Speaker 5Now, this is an interesting development here, and I don't know if this is worth anything.
Speaker 1Did he go to jail two?
Speaker 2Like?
Speaker 1This's actually just uh?
No?
He like Mitch loves rocking the khaki shorts.
Oh, I don't know, but something to keep an eye on.
Jeremiah was a mailman.
No, I'm joking.
Speaker 2Was got.
Speaker 1Dog?
No, that's three Dog night Boom Music.
How about that?
Speaker 2I don't think I would have remembered that was.
Who that was?
Chase bad Music?
WHOA?
Speaker 1Did you look it up last night because you were singing that song?
Speaker 2I actually it's one of the three songs on rotation that I played.
Speaker 1Jeremiah was a bull frog.
Bah was a good friend of mine.
Speaker 2I never understood a single word he said, but he always had some mighty fine wine.
Speaker 1I'm blown away right now because that's not a kid rock song.
No, I mean that is an easy uh parody song.
Though this season, I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna do it.
I hope he doesn't go home Week one.
Speaker 4I almost, gentlemen, I almost brought a guitar and did a parody song with it in person.
Speaker 2But then I thought it'd be hard to sneak a whole guitar into this studio because.
Speaker 1The parody could go one ad ass.
Oh man, Let's keep pushing, guys, Let's keep pushing.
All right, here's next.
Speaker 10I know that I probably come across as someone who doesn't like the outdoors, who doesn't like to get dirty.
But honestly, for a million bucks, I've done a hell of a lot worse for a hell of a lot less.
Speaker 1What does she mean?
Speaker 2Who can we don't know?
Speaker 5That's Savannah Louis, who's thirty one, who also you're gonna love this, Jonathan.
Speaker 2She's moved no originally from California now at Landa.
Speaker 1Oh.
I love it when there's a move.
You love a good move.
Speaker 7Uh.
Speaker 2Savannah is a former reporter, and I gotta be honest with you, guys.
Speaker 1Savannah is giving me villain v okay?
Speaker 2Is she the one who comes back.
Speaker 1Come back for fifty I don't know.
Speaker 2I look at her, I think, Savannah, that could be maybe maybe that's why, like you have to bring the winner back with Riscott.
Speaker 1You bring the God's the winner?
Speaker 2What do you mean?
Speaker 5That's what I'm saying, you bring with riz Gott I worded it in a really weird way, and you got maybe it's going to be a divisive runner up situation with Ris got where they thinybe he should.
Speaker 1Have But this is right right out of there.
Speaker 5She said that one thing that she wants to do is try to add as much stress to the game as possible, even for members of her own alliance, like constantly sowing seeds of doubt, taking jackets in the middle of the night and quote unquote misplacing them.
Speaker 3WHOA She's not asking her like like Angelina was, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2This is the person who's coming back for interesting WHOA she could be the winner.
Speaker 5She also like like, you know how sometimes you just want that drama, Like she could that drama.
Speaker 1She could be that that that villain.
Speaker 5She also believes that her history as a reporter has taught her how to get people to trust her quote A huge part of my job was getting people to trust me with some of their most intimate details of their lives and then killing.
Speaker 2Them that last part.
She left journalism after ten years and now likes to solo travel while working as a marketing specialist for her parents' companies, so she clearly needs the money for an alliance partner.
She wants someone whose straints make up for her weaknesses and vice versa, not trying to make friends, but trying to find a partner who will help her go far by filling in her gaps.
Speaker 1Risk God, risk God.
Together.
That's good.
That's good.
Speaker 5And then the reason why she thinks she's gonna win it all is I'm an under the radar physical threat with a social game that will get me to the end.
I'm hoping that others underestimate me while considering me someone that they trust, only to realize that I'm a force to be reckoned with.
Speaker 4Everybody says I'm an under the radar player.
Speaker 1And every player is like, I think I'm gonna win because people like me.
I think I thought everyone was on Survivor.
I'd be like, guys, I'm an over the radar.
Speaker 2The radar doesn't know what to do with the radar scrambler.
You can't even read the radar when I walk.
There's so much of me on the radar.
They think the radar's broke dard thing.
I'm such a big threat, They're going to keep me around so that is that's Savanna.
Moving on.
Speaker 1Now, moving on.
Speaker 7There's like a lot of straight people here, So I think like adjusting to like being around a man with a six pack is a lot for me today.
Speaker 3Straight up, I might draft Nicole first.
Nicole Missoula.
Nicole is gay.
She doesn't have abs, like she said in that interest.
Sure, I'm a big fan of Nicole because after the honor and integrity stuff with Jake.
This is the headline of Nicole's interview with Mike Bloom Meet the I don't have to read the meet.
Speaker 2The cast part, would you meet the Survivor forty nine casts?
Nicole Miszula refuses to vote for anyone that Nicole Miszulo refuses.
Speaker 3To vote for anyone to win with an honest game exclusively.
Speaker 1Whoa wow, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 2This is going to be the best season.
Yeah, she would be good.
Yes, is actively going after.
Speaker 1People because she just saw forty eight two and you found an annoying scena in the face.
Speaker 2Dang.
Yeah, So she really won me over Cole and Savannah Line.
Speaker 1Oh imagine that.
And what about the trashy Annie.
Speaker 4Amazing, they're just firing everyone and they're just people off left and right, yeah, this is going to be an insane season.
Speaker 3So she really won me over with the hating honesty.
And she also won me over because her favorite winner is Jam Jam and when you pay respect or Yam yam, I always pronounce it the opposite of what I wrote, and I wrote Yam yam.
Speaker 2Okay, so uhs because it's usually.
Speaker 3I'm just explaining why I keep saying it wrong in my copycat.
Speaker 1The listeners shut up.
Speaker 3Her favorite winner is Yam yam, and when you pay respect to the Yam, you've got my support.
She she said she'd like to think she shares some similar characteristics.
He's very jovial, he can connect with people like second nature and make people feel very comfortable.
And she said, I'd like to think that I'm able to cultivate that kind of environment and uh and yeah, Yam was the king of that and Queen I love him.
Speaker 2Wow.
Speaker 1Oh man.
Speaker 2We got a comment recently that said they called us one of the radio DJs that it was on the fake Riley so that whatever stuff like this happens, I'm like, oh God.
Speaker 1Was fake.
Speaker 2Well that's what the people were saying.
Speaker 5They can I ask you guys this, why is it not first nature.
I don't know, Like, let's just think about that real quick.
Speaker 4I think first nature is are like the natural things a person does, and second nature is like personality.
Speaker 1No, that's not how it's used at all.
Speaker 2Second nature is but first like first nature would be you have to eat to survive, right, second nature would be like, oh it's I don't have to think about being.
Speaker 1Nice to Italy.
I looked it up in Jonathan's unreson correct.
Speaker 2I'm telling nature is your innate biological traits or instincts.
Speaker 1I love how you looked it up as if I wasn't say it with one hundred.
Speaker 2Percent when I explained it further, what you said you want to be radio DJ I, Well, thank you for listening.
Speaker 3We're going to continue this discussion on the NPR.
So Nicole is.
Nicole is a financial crimes consultant and she investigates fraud and money laundering.
Speaker 1So let's.
Speaker 2Invite her to our show.
Speaker 1Used to work at a bank.
Look at you, Richard Hash.
Speaker 3We don't want to sniffing around the bramble jam finances stuff.
Speaker 4Just like Matt and I have an airport connection, I do feel like that Nicole and I now have a connection to Jas.
Speaker 5And I are fighting over who's buying pizza for the tax right.
Speaker 2Pull it from the making the merge, and I was like, that's the whole show.
Speaker 1That's a good point.
So that's a good point.
I think.
I think y'all are going to enjoy this.
Speaker 3About Nicole, she described herself as the love child of Boston Robb and she Ambo.
Speaker 2Whoao Tambo reference in the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3And she followed that up with I'd love to read that fan fic.
Speaker 1Oh, yeah, this is gonna be our Mary.
Yeah, this might be.
Speaker 3She's another player that you know as I When I was researching them, they said that their love of The Survivor it got like increased by doing a draft.
Speaker 1I think Sophie was.
Speaker 2The same way.
Speaker 3Sophie did a draft and got really into it.
Speaker 1Choice Sophie's yep.
Speaker 3So when asked about her favorite moments from Survivor, she cited Operation Italy.
Remember that, Remember Operation Remember when we had false hope about Andy and Genevieve.
Speaker 4Yeah, we we felt pretty good about it.
Operation Why do people act like that?
Speaker 1Was such a good movie.
It was fun.
Speaker 2The editing fun, The editing it was a great editing Italian food operations in Italy.
I'm sorry you don't like a good heist.
Yeah, it was just a bad play.
Speaker 3One of the highest rated IMDb Survivor episode so z ever, right, Pa, I'm just making that up.
So Nicole said a lot of stuff to win me over, but I'll close with this one.
She was asked about being a Big Brother fan, and she said, Julie Tin Moonvez, where are you?
Speaker 1Bat?
Oh?
There you go?
Speaker 2She said the full name, said the full name.
Put some respect on that.
Can I forget who she's married to?
Speaker 1Less?
Speaker 2Moonvez never did anything wrong.
Speaker 3We love CBS, We appreciate it.
Speaker 2All hails up next, Yep.
I actually learned how to swim because I knew if one day I'd got on Survivor, I didn't want to be the black guy who couldn't swim.
Speaker 1The amount of people who have.
Speaker 5I was shaking my head until he said the black guy thing, and then I was like, well that doesn't relate to me.
But I do think about that with the show.
Not the black person I can't swim, is what I'm getting at.
But I think I think about how if I go on Survivor, I should probably learn.
Speaker 2Uh Patreon exclusive, we teach brand to swim.
Yeah, hey, Brand, I got you, just like, do this really?
Really it's actually the more exhausted you are, the easier it is.
Speaker 1If you get all your energy out kind of hump in the water.
Speaker 2No, no, that's what you do on.
Speaker 1An exercise exercise bike.
Yeah, god, I was doing exercise.
Speaker 2Hey.
Speaker 4By the way, Nate Moore, yeah, he is from Clovis, California.
Speaker 1And get this, what do you think happened?
Speaker 2He moved?
Speaker 4He moved, guys, he moved to Amosa Beach, California.
So yeah, I mean move here.
Here's the thing is that Nate is forty seven.
And yeah, you know I've been saying the internet's been buzzing.
They're really buzzing about this guy because he is a Marvel movie producer.
From what I was able to gather, they didn't really lead with that, right, like, oh, Nate's a Marvel movie producer.
Led with it in the parade articles.
Yea quickly, Mike Bloom, So yeah, he's he is a Marvel movie producer.
Speaker 2Before we give him any praise, which one here here's so he produced the Eternals.
Speaker 1I would he produced Captain America, Brave New World.
These are legit wait, no way for real?
Yes for yeah.
Speaker 4So he's got two real loser kind of movies right now, box of yours this.
Speaker 1However, he did not do Thunderbolts.
But he didn't.
Speaker 4That's an America Winter Soldier, which he did Black.
Speaker 1Panther another stellar one.
Speaker 4Yeah, he did the second Black Panther, which was also pretty like I thought it was good.
He's also, from what I was reading, doing the third Black Panther movie as well.
So this is like, yeah, I did hear this what Denzel is supposed to be.
Speaker 2Hey, I random the rest of my I'm sorry, guys, but I ran into Denzel Washington in the Nashville Airport.
Speaker 1That's crazy, I forget.
It was very h it was very random.
Speaker 4I was standing in the terminal just waiting, and I see him walking and I wait, this is real.
My first thought is, dang, that guy looks a lot like Denzel.
And as he walks past me, we we lock eye contact.
He keeps going and and he goes that Jonathan making no but he walks past me and I kind of like track follow him, you know, like second look.
Speaker 1And as I'm looking at him.
Speaker 4He turns back around and looks me right in the face and goes, it's me.
Speaker 2Serious.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'm so serious.
Speaker 2He looked at me and said he said it's me and just kept going.
And I was like, Denzel, You're my hero.
Speaker 1Is the coolest.
I was blown away.
Speaker 4But he actually took the second to actually do that and confirm it for me because he could tell it looked like.
Speaker 5Great has I'm actually seen the footage.
The guy looked nothing like.
Speaker 2He's just dad's sneaking a drink because he's about to go pilot a flight.
Speaker 1Shut out.
I've seen a couple of movies, you know.
No, he wasn't.
He was.
He was with a big guy, and that was the other tip off.
Speaker 4I was like, hey, wait a second, but uh yeah, so uh anyway Black Panther movies.
Speaker 1That is pretty crazy.
Speaker 2Is he our Mike White or or Mike Black if you will?
Brother?
Oh good, I thought of it during You're good.
Speaker 1You weren't listening to this story, dude, You're just like a good reason.
Speaker 4Now here's where I think Nate the Great if you will, very typical dad name there for us.
But Nate, you know, as a producer, knows how to shape a narrative, right, you know, he knows how to he knows how to spin a web and really create something, and he knows a lot about moving pieces James Web and getting them all together Dark Web.
Speaker 1Yeah, and Madam Web.
Speaker 2Derek Webb.
Speaker 1Hey, maybe I don't know.
Okay, we should chicked it.
Speaker 2We should get this guy on the show and then just ask him about the at it was like doing uh, Captain America Brave New War.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 4So anyway, that's that's kind of his his own thing.
He is going to be crafting his own survivor's story arc.
So that's awesome.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 4I actually think he seems really cool, and I think that being a movie producer and I think it's kind of an interesting advantage and it's a different kind of role that we have not seen play before.
You know, we've had lawyers and doctors and nurses a.
Speaker 2Million times, never had they more the more.
Did he say whether or not he's going to try to keep it a secret?
Speaker 7Uh?
Speaker 4That I don't remember.
I don't think he said that.
He did not Again, I would my theory would be that he would keep it a secret because it would hilarious if he.
Speaker 2Was like he like brought someone's out of a secret.
Yeah, I produced Captain America, bravenew World.
Speaker 4He might look at them and be like, I didn't want to tell you all this, but I produced the Eternals And they're like, I got him a break.
Speaker 1I didn't he go through enough.
I mean, Mike White tried to keep it a secret that he did School of Rock.
Speaker 2Like that's not even the same, Like, hold on, School of Rock is a way better movie.
I'm not saying it's not.
Speaker 5I'm saying you hear that somebody is producing Marvel movies and you immediately go that guy's freaking.
Speaker 2Rolls a corporate guy.
It's a corporate guy.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 5You see Mike White and he did a School of Rock and you're like, okay.
Speaker 4Account ofation is totally different.
And it's I think though that again a producer.
A producer is a really unique job to be playing survivor because he's also gonna know kind of the inner workings of what's happening with.
Speaker 2He's going to be calling the camera guys like, hey, get better shot, alright, let's keep going.
Speaker 1All right, Okay, I have a beautiful girlfriend.
Speaker 2She's the one that encouraged me to stop talking about applying every time.
Speaker 1Jeff is there, like, just apply.
Speaker 9I'd be like, I could win this game.
Speaker 2I could play this game.
Speaker 1She's like, then do it?
Speaker 2He guysys like Michael Jackson, this guy Stephen Ram with two ms, this guy, this guy is a character.
Uh really into space Carson two point zero?
Speaker 1Would you guys like to hear?
Speaker 2Oh?
Is he the NASA guy from the headline of the parade article?
Speaker 1I think so cool?
Wow.
I don't know why I said I think so Yes, I think so might be one of the other astronauts enthusiasts.
Did you chat GPT?
No?
No, I mean I have this.
Speaker 2Guys blamed me for chat GPT on the broadcast.
Is just to kind of be like affable and like agree with whatever everybody says.
Speaker 1This third nature meta AI.
Speaker 2I had my meta sunglasses on it.
I said, hey, Meta, who is Stephen Ram with two ends?
And she said, this guy like space.
They asked him why do you want to be a part of Survivor And he took that personally because he went on to go Discovery as a aspiring lunar landowner.
I am an explorable heart like a space mission.
Survivor is a journey into the unknown, but instead of highly trained astronauts, there are eighteen rascals conspiring to jettingsen each other out of the airlock.
To me, that sounds like the adventure of a lifetime and the ultimate test of character.
I look forward to discovering the edges of my comfort zone and blasting right through them.
Speaker 1This is very William Shatner.
Does he actually sound that annoying or is that just you?
Speaker 2No?
Speaker 1Well, I mean I am doing a little bit of a character.
But that's what I mean.
Speaker 2You heard him.
Speaker 1That's kind of what it sounds like.
Speaker 5It's a shame that he has no idea how much of a dick he looks like.
He's an aspiring lunar owner lunar Lando.
Speaker 1Yeah, wait, what does he mean by that?
Speaker 3He's gonna like buy a star, get a little certificate?
Speaker 2Well, lunar Land, I can clarify this.
They then asked, what is something we would never know from looking at you?
He said, when I'm not working on technologies to pioneer the frontiers like that, he's hustling as a musician.
Speaker 1Are you kidding me?
Does he live in Nashville?
Speaker 2I actually don't know where he lives.
I didn't think that was important.
I only look for interesting things where there.
Speaker 1Was you moved.
Speaker 2I don't know, I don't care.
He wants to own property on Mars.
That's his big thing is he needs to move to Mars.
Speaker 1So he's delusional.
Wouldn't Lunar the movie?
Well why would you say?
Speaker 2It?
Would be like when I'm not working on technologies to pioneer the frontiers of the moon in Mars, but he wants me a lunar land owner on Mars.
Speaker 1I have no idea what he's saying.
Speaker 2Maybe he wants to own property on the movie, but that just doesn't feel as realistic.
Speaker 3No, and Mars, like your best shot is a dude who's on Kenemine all the time, And I don't think that's gonna go that Well.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, this dude, big character.
I hope he's so much fun.
I love this cast so much.
Yeah, they seem cool.
Let's just keep pushing.
Speaker 9When I told my office that was coming, I was like, they're gonna make me quit right now on the spot.
My boss could not be more excited.
She said, you're gonna go, You're gonna win.
And she's obsessed with my dating life.
She said you're gonna find a wife too.
Speaker 1Red Flag.
Speaker 5Uh, guys, if you think that that's the only time he's going to talk about like finding, you're so like it's every Yeah.
Speaker 2What's crazy?
Speaker 1He already has a girlfriend.
Speaker 2Alex Moore is twenty seven originally from Illinois, now lives in Washington, d C.
Because yes, he is a political calms director.
He wants to make it to the Survivor Auction more than anything in the world.
You might be wondering yourself, why is it the food?
No, it is because he wants to prove the margarita curse is wrong.
Speaker 1It's not real.
What's the margarita curse?
Speaker 2You might be wondering.
Speaker 1I was too.
It's never been wrong.
I'm well aware.
Speaker 2Apparently anybody who purchases the margarita at the auction gets voted out that very night.
Speaker 1Is it's happened too many times to be a coin?
Four times straight?
Speaker 2Do you think it's're just getting drunk and and saying really off hand It could be.
Speaker 1It could be all the too.
Speaker 2Uh.
He talks about how much he loves margarita's, how he loves going out after a hard a hard day's work.
Speaker 1Salt sugar at all.
Blood goes right to.
Speaker 2Like that he's just auction and Jeff goes next item a margarita, and someone goes salt or sugar rim and they go sugar you there.
Speaker 1No, my guy at Alex.
Speaker 2Will go five hundred dollars all of it all in.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2He started a survivor club at his high school with teachers and students.
Speaker 5Where they would get together and talk about the game.
They wrote a letter to Jeff asking for an invite to the finale of Heroes Versus Villains.
The answer no, I hope he brings it up at the marooning Jeff before we get started.
Speaker 1Like you mean, this letter out.
Speaker 2Like a fake.
Speaker 1I don't think nothing on it.
I've been peeing on this every morning.
Uh.
Speaker 2He currently works in d C and Communications believes that's going to help him in Fiji, knowing you know, like what's worth fighting for, what's worth shutting up about?
You got to learn all of that when you're working in d C in the swamp, so, uh, you know that might come into play.
He believes that he'll make it far as the glue guy and I quote, I mean, hey, glue me up.
Okay, what that's how you do it.
I mean, hey, gloom me up.
But that's what I'm gonna be for my tribe.
Speaker 5I want people literally sticking to me from all different types.
Speaker 3He really needs guys.
Speaker 5He's a comms director, trust him.
His biggest weakness is that he's a softy.
People have taken advantage of his empathy before.
Speaker 1Quote.
Speaker 2If there's a cute girl basically being like Alex, we should vote this way.
I need to get her out soon because she's gonna be able to convince me.
I will do it nine.
That's right.
Speaker 1I will vote her out so fast.
Unless she tells me not to cut.
She's got to go because she'll be able to control me.
That's right.
Speaker 2Girl tells me a you gotta give me that idol, I'm giving you gotta go.
Speaker 1That's right.
Speaker 2And that's Alex Moore.
Speaker 1From d A little man who knows his weaknesses.
Speaker 9Up next, I'm sorry, I'm sweating so much.
This is day zero and I smell horrible.
Speaker 2Juwan pits his pits were sweating, Oh god.
Speaker 1Jan twenty eight.
He's a video editor.
Speaker 3He worked on the storyboard for Transformers in twenty twenty one.
Maybe not as impressed as mister Nate Moore, but good transformers maybe.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2So he got on the caste Oh yeah, I guess I haven't seen this.
Speaker 1I don't know.
I'm just agreeing with brand.
I'm disagreeing with you.
Actually, fine.
Speaker 3So he got on the cast by going to one of the casting calls after applying for six years and getting nothing.
And he credited the man, the myth, the legend, Mike Bloom for helping him get on the show.
Speaker 1Wow.
Speaker 2How so he said he watched the previous six years of Mike's interviews Wow, wow, preparations for like how he asked the questions and how everybody responded, so he would know what to do with the casting call, you.
Speaker 1Know, like Mike Bloom doesn't do the casting he knows that right, No.
Speaker 3But he just got He gave a direct line to every player every season.
Speaker 1So yes, he's a pretty good person to listen to.
Speaker 5Mike, you know better at like Segways and Mike Bloom and he follows us.
Speaker 2I found that out yesterday, Mike Bloom.
We got to get Mike on the show.
Mike Bloom, Let's do the next no to try powerful.
Mike's are way better than that chase.
You step your game.
Speaker 3So he said that his superpower is definitely his weakness.
Also, it's his vulnerability.
Speaker 2I love chopping it up talking about what makes us the way that we are, our childhood and past experiences.
My superpower is I think I'm gonna make friends really easily, like everybody else has said, I think I'm gonna be able to make really dope bonds.
But on the flip side of that, by being an open book and making those bonds, am I going to be willing to cut them when I need to?
Speaker 3That's my biggest struggle.
I'm like, oh, I'm going to backstab do this.
But at the end of the day, I really care about people too.
So if there's a way that I can put people to sleep in a nice way that sounds so bad, that sounds so bad, laughs and brackets, I gotta do it in a way he laughing, brag.
That's a good question, Johnathen.
I got to do it in a way where I can sleep at night.
And he told Mike that he had been thinking about Mike a lot during Ponderosa.
Speaker 2Could say that he's.
Speaker 3Relationship with Mike, and he did say that sounds crazy, but Mike said, I'm flattered, and he said, no, I have a cheat sheet for you, and I wrote everybody's initials down because I'm a nerd.
I put all these superheroes so top of the list.
I want to work with Punisher.
Speaker 1So that's j L.
Speaker 3That's the tattoo guy.
I'm pretty sure he's going to be on everybody's radar.
Speaker 1And is he talking.
He's the most chatty cat here.
Speaker 3He's always trying to make it.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 3So I want to work with that dude.
Mc main character she is Gomorra from Guardians of the Galaxy.
She's braids like Mishown from Walking Dead.
She's badass and I've been sitting next to her for the past three days.
Speaker 1He's gonna lose his mind when he finds out.
Yeah, seriously.
Speaker 3And I'm like an extrovert.
I'm not trying to hug her, but I'm like, hey, she's like nothing.
I'm like, oh, she's locked in.
But I don't know what he's talking about.
This you're not supposed to talk.
That's the whole is going vibes looking at him.
But he said I said hey, and she didn't say anything.
Yeah, I think like he said, but I'm like hey, and she's like nothing.
Speaker 2Like the metaphorical Hey, like he's rick and she's shown before they got together.
Speaker 5Sounds like he was trying to make behind the bathroom deals and no one's with Mike Bloom.
Speaker 1He's trying to I mean, who betwixt us?
What betwixt hey?
Speaker 3Mike, We're gonna have him on the show, hopefully to judge our drafts.
Speaker 2That's the idea.
That's report cards.
And then because I've been thinking about him a lot.
Yeah, I think about him Ponderosa all the time.
I got a list for him to actually so.
He said he thinks the m C is just really focused.
She's someone that he's a little worried about.
She's low key his winter pick.
And that's a survivor nerd talking, yeah, winter pick and other.
Speaker 1Than me, I would rank her high on the draft board.
Other than me.
Speaker 2He's talking about winter picks and draft boards and Mike Bloom.
This guy is a certified survivor dork.
Speaker 1Yeah, we're gonna have him take Jonathan spot on the shows.
How I get it.
Speaker 3I get One other thing that he said was he's not into journeys, so he's not gonna let my team name.
Speaker 1It is because these people.
He's always stopping his beliefs.
Speaker 3These people watched Bianca and Thomas get voted out.
They got killed by Cedric because of the journeys, So they're very anti journey this group.
Speaker 1Dang, dude, don't know.
And that's what I've got on Juwan not Steve Perry.
Fans jump right in.
Here's the next.
Speaker 2One of the ways I think people would consider me wacky is the fact that I collect pimples in a jar, very specifically black kids.
Speaker 1Let's just skip this one.
The video that's disgusted.
It's pretty bad.
What's the grossest thing you guys ever collected that jar?
Nothing?
I don't think I've ever put in anything.
Speaker 2My grandpa had a parasite that came out of his nose is like pretty big from when he went to China.
Speaker 1I think that's crazy.
Dang, I don't think I've collected anything.
Speaker 4So the grossest thing I've ever collected would be, like, though, like a bug or something.
Speaker 1Put in a jar.
Speaker 2I have an answer, and that parasite was James from Survivor China, right, ladies, went home with two idols.
Speaker 1In his pocket.
Speaker 5My mine is a prank that I did on my brother where for years, whenever I cut my toenails, I'd put him in a root beer bottle that he.
Speaker 1One day kids without what happened when that one day came up?
Speaker 3Though, I mean, we're losing respect for Sage Brown.
Speaker 1I'm talking about Say hey, I'm gonna let it known right now.
Speaker 2Stage better be the last draft pick.
Okay, Sage is thirty years old.
Speaker 1Guys.
Speaker 4She is from Roxboro, North Carolina.
Okay, Roxboro, If y'all aren't aware, it is about thirty five minutes from where I am.
Speaker 1Oh, do you know her?
Speaker 4Yeah, she's a really good friend of mine.
Actually, wow, we collect pimples together.
No, Actually, it does kind of make me feel embarrassed that this is the person who lived the closest to me, and that what we have for it is that she collected black hats the first Thankfully.
Thankfully, she moved across the whole country to Olympia, Washington, so there was a move involved.
Speaker 1And she is a clinical social worker.
Speaker 4I don't know what it is about this, but I'm I'm something feels off about the whole pimple collecting and being a clinical professional.
You know, maybe you only let's get rid of her I just yeah.
So she describes herself as intentional, curious, and wacky.
Some might say gross, and that she did not say gross, but I'm saying it.
She joined the military and she went through some trauma, but she also embraces the fact that she is, like Nerdi virgent, was the trauma before or during the military, it seems she's saying like during the military, right, And so she plans on leaning into the social work ment whole game.
Speaker 1Okay, all right, and also.
Speaker 4Kind of a multifaceted thing there.
I think my military experience might give you some tactical ideas.
Speaker 2You know, who's gonna love it if she has a little autistic episode.
Speaker 1Huh oh.
We'll just have to wait and see, won't we.
Speaker 4So yeah, she identifies with mary Anne, saying that she's a player that's underestimated for being upbeat and wants to bring wants to bring the long game, wants to.
Speaker 1Play the long game.
Have you seen Marianne season?
Speaker 2No?
Speaker 3But I looked her up and she was very like, yeah, you know, I remember, I think she's the smartest person I've ever heard talk about the game.
When she went on Rob has a podcast, she did like two hours with season.
Speaker 1Was she two is forty two?
Okay, so I haven't seen her.
So the Making the Merge podcast.
Speaker 4Entertainment Weekly, or as you know as professionals called the e W and there meet the cast thing.
They stated that she was one of the most emotional, honest, quirky, and multi dimensional players in the game right now.
Oh so in the game right now, and saying she has a self aware strategy that is getting her nods online.
Speaker 1So very is there buzz though there's some nods.
I don't know that we're talking buzz yet, we're just talking nods.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, next two more un.
Speaker 10Like this hippie spiritual love, the energy of the moon, love, the energy of the Earth.
I'm also a virgo, if that means anything to anyone's lunar land.
Speaker 3But I think Mary is a big astrology person.
So is Stephanie Berger.
Speaker 2And and this is Shannon Fairweather.
Yeah, this is Shannon's astrology strong name.
Yeah, Shannon Fairweather.
I think her entire personality can be summed up.
When they asked her the question can you give us three words to describe you?
And she said, free, passionate, I make things happen, faithful, spunky, confident, in love with life.
Huh, so she's on adderall.
I just thought that was so funny.
How said they write as one word.
I thought this was very funny.
Her pet peeve in life is that when she has pet peeves, she's working on loving herself and not being so negative and not having pet peeves.
However, snoring negativity, being able to hear muffle TV even trying to sleep.
Wow, what is something we would never know from looking at Shannon that this is something she brings up a lot in all of her press.
Speaker 1Her family owns a four floor sports bar in Boston that Boston.
Speaker 2Rob worked at.
Speaker 1There been some recent developments.
Oh no, I didn't didn't see recent developments.
Survivors Prison team up to make it a Survivor bar.
Really, I didn't know what was her bar though.
Speaker 3We got to go to Boston and we go to the bar, and then we go to Luigi's to get some pizza.
Speaker 2Pizza, And when I'm going even if I missed the birth of my kid, yeah, specially I'm playing Survivor the bar, playing the bar.
I'm going to the bar, going to the bar, trivia.
This is where it gets a little bit less fun.
When she was seventeen doctors found cancer in her bladder, but she did not have to do chemo and then, uh, she used to be on antidepressants before she found her love for travel, meditation and God.
Speaker 1But she didn't have to do chemo.
She just raw dogged it.
Speaker 2Yeah, she raged and then also cured her depression without Uh, she got to quit being anti We did the Steve Jobs thing.
Speaker 1But like it worked for her, I guess.
Speaker 2So I think maybe the cancer wasn't as aggressive like other treatments work.
Speaker 1I don't know.
I don't know anyway, I'm sure it was very hard.
Expirit did not be a dick about it.
He remembers being in the womb.

No, and you can't tell her she doesn't.
She doesn't.

Speaker 2If you ask her who her biggest inspiration is, she says, God, Universe, the Great Spirit, Mother, Nature, and the divine and then she just proceeds to go, hey, magic is real.
Whoa, But That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1She's such a.
Speaker 2Kind of junksta position of a person because she constantly brings up magic is real.
But then she also really wants you to know that her family owns a four floor sports boy.
She puts a lot of emphasis on the four floors.
Speaker 1That was really good.
Slet of hands again, do it?
