I totally didn't post any all this past week. Look good you're 11 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,120 following in that the other social media things. I set the expectations at the 12 00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:23,319 beginning of the year, at the beginning of the season that I would try 13 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,200 Yeah, no, you fit right in a big good chance that I would 14 00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:30,000 just this is what all of us do. We start hot and heavy with 15 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,000 some sort of social media thing and then it's like, I know, this 16 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,760 is like it's actual work. Hey, I mean I also, I have 17 00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:42,519 my own Instagram, I have my business Instagram, I have the lady's Instagram, 18 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,799 and I have this one, so trying to run all four of them 19 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,120 is just Oh and I have the dog. Your dog is an Instagram. 20 00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:52,719 Yeah. I made it years ago because I didn't want to spam all of 21 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,400 my friends with puppy pictures, and I have barely kept up with it since 22 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,560 then. Marco's got her own Instagram. She does my dog. Winnie used 23 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,000 to have her own live journal. Remember that one Wolf? Was it just 24 00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:09,520 wolf Wolf? I don't remember Jamie. Maybe ex Jamie made it when it 25 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,000 looks like you Carlin, oh lovely. None of my animalsn't ever had any 26 00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:17,439 social media. Good Zach, you're a normal man. Good for you. 27 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,319 Stay strong, keep doing that. All right, are we starting this episode 28 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,000 or what? Yeah, let's take notes, right, I did episode seven. 29 00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:30,759 It's an odd one, so I take notes for odd numbers. Uh. 30 00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:34,960 Did you guys notice this week Paramount plus started this unskippable promotions? Bullshit, 31 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,280 I'm fucking pissed about this. When you start an episode it like it 32 00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:45,319 plays, you just have to back out and restart it. Oh? Is 33 00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:47,159 that? That? Is that the secret. All right, I'm gonna try 34 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,520 it. Let me skip it? So did it. Sometimes it puts the 35 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,360 skip button, but it didn't include it this week and I tried fast forwarding 36 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,840 and it won't start. It won't even pause it. It's super annoying. 37 00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:00,719 Yeah, I noticed that a few weeks They started that, like I don't 38 00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:05,280 know, probably a month or two ago, because every episode that I've watched, 39 00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:07,560 if you just hit play, then it starts with a promo. But 40 00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:10,560 if you immediately back out and restart it and then it just goes into the 41 00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:14,400 show. Gotcha? All right? Stove in the chat room says the same. 42 00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:15,960 So that's what what the what the fuck is the point of paying for 43 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,599 no commercials if they're frecing commercial commercials right there, they're like drawing a line 44 00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:23,240 because it's like self promotion. It's not like a commercial or something. Yeah, 45 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,840 but it pisses me off. There's no point in having that fucking trailer 46 00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:30,560 for It's always the fucking drag show one too, which I'm not interested in. 47 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,080 It's always led me. It's always let me skipping. What what uh? 48 00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:40,520 What like device do you use? TV? You've got like a paramout 49 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:46,680 plus and you're smart TV it's like Samsung TV or something. Tim Are you 50 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:49,439 watching it on your TV? Uh? Yeah, I have, I have 51 00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:53,360 a like Apple TV. Yeah, yeah, I've got it. I usually 52 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,400 don't play it on my Apple TV. I usually end up playing it on 53 00:03:54,439 --> 00:03:58,360 my phone because half most of the time I'm watching it while I'm sitting at 54 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,360 work. What I know? Right, you and Zach y Oh, that's 55 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,719 neither here nor there. But I think that's bullshit that streamers are doing that. 56 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,759 I'm fighting against it, and please all you joined me write angry letters 57 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,520 to Paramount Plus. Soon enough, we're gonna all end up back with cable 58 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,240 again, because that's basically what streaming has become. Yes, it's ridiculous, 59 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,000 basically paying the same amount, if not more than we were with cable. 60 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,879 Yeah, it's awful. It's all terrible. Yep, all right into the 61 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,040 oh yeah still says it's parallel apparently merging with Peacock. Maybe we should get 62 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,480 to that in the after show. Wolfye, you might have some insights as 63 00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:35,959 to everything that's going on. Sony offered a buy out for Viacom or I 64 00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:39,439 don't know, some shit's happening. Yeah, I'd love to hear about that. 65 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,000 But yeah, let's table that, save that for later. The first 66 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,319 thing that we actually get in this episode are Steve and Nicole. They are 67 00:04:46,439 --> 00:04:49,759 back from elimination and just sort of looking at their picks and flexing amount and 68 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,079 shit, I don't know I could have done without the scene. I hate 69 00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:55,959 these things. What do you think? Plus, so you weren't on last 70 00:04:55,959 --> 00:05:00,839 week's episode, what'd you think of last week's with Leroy? It was better 71 00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:02,439 than I expected Leroy to do with that, to be honest with you, 72 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,399 Yeah, but I hate all of it. They should not grip these people. 73 00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:10,319 They're not good at it. It's not the strength of these people. 74 00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:13,959 Yep, I agree. I think I think we liked I think I liked 75 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,600 LeRoy's just because I like Leroy. Yeah, he's Yeah, he seems better 76 00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:24,279 this season too. He seems more leroy esque than the last couple times we've 77 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,879 seen him. All Right, So they are back in the house. Now, 78 00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:33,759 Nicole and Veronica are talking. They sort of have really got bonded over 79 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,839 how Veronica got out of elimination and sort of earned Nicole's trust down there in 80 00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:43,000 the sand in the matter of a few seconds. And now Veronica is saying, 81 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,519 like, hey, because of this because Nicole saved me and because we 82 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,160 see I now she could be an ally for me, like for the rest 83 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,800 of the season. She thinks that this is like the start of a beautiful 84 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,360 thing. Will fee your shaking your head. No, no, nobody's relying 85 00:05:56,399 --> 00:06:02,560 on Veronica for anything. Nicole will be like yeah, like, no problem. 86 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:06,360 I mean it's the same thing that Again, Tim, you weren't here 87 00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:10,600 last week. But one of the big things with last week was everybody was 88 00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:14,720 talking about how Jazz has their back and how they have hers, and like 89 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,639 she's made promises, Like what the fuck kind of promises can Jazz make? 90 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,920 She is not good at this game, has never been good at this game. 91 00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:28,240 She's there as a fluff player just to round out the numbers and to 92 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,319 take to the end if they need a fluff player at the end, to 93 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,519 be that sacrificial lamb. Honestly, Veronica is the same thing, Like she 94 00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:38,560 may have been good at this game back in the day, but she doesn't 95 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,399 quite have that same kind of power that she used to. Yeah, no, 96 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,879 she's not gonna I don't think she's gonna do many favors for Nicole. 97 00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:49,399 No, but I think Nicole needs people on her side. And so does 98 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:56,680 Veronica now that Rachel's gone. Yeah, some think they're just looking for numbers. 99 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,879 They're just looking for somebody that won't vote them if they happen to get 100 00:06:58,879 --> 00:07:00,160 in the middle. No, oh, I agree with that. It's just 101 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,279 it's still just one of those I don't I don't know what they expect Veronica 102 00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:06,959 to be able to do for them, other than potentially have a number for 103 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,879 her for them. I think that's kind of it. Yeah, but that's 104 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,160 again, that only matters if Veronica ends up in the middle, and if 105 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,279 she doesn't end up in the middle, then it does not matter at all. 106 00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:21,920 And she seems to either be at the bottom of the barrel or somehow 107 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,319 makes it to the top with things like trivia. Yeah, when people like 108 00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:29,319 Veronica too, I wonder if she just gets more money the longer she stays, 109 00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:32,160 so she just wants to stay, because really she should be trying to 110 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,160 get the star. She should have been happy to go into that elimination. 111 00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:39,759 Maybe not against the hole, but if she was planning to win, she 112 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,800 would have wanted to be down there, I would think. But anyway, 113 00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:50,399 we have these quick shots of you know, people running in slow motion shots 114 00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:55,759 of Cam's breast milk kind of a weird overlay there, Ken, I don't 115 00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:58,839 know why they're focusing so much on her breast milk and her pumping, Like 116 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,800 it's just weird. Yeah, it seems like they said it in one or 117 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,680 two episodes, like that's enough. We don't we don't need to keep going 118 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,480 back to that. We see Ace and Brad talking. I like seeing the 119 00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:13,519 old school guys talk, but this conversation was weird to me. Ace talking 120 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,160 up to Brad about like I'm just so proud of you. I knew you 121 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,800 had it and need to be a champion, like all this stuff. Do 122 00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:24,199 you think this is weird? Anybody? I think Ace is just weird in 123 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,279 general? I think so too. Yeah, I think he's too well. 124 00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:31,080 I wouldn't. I just think he's too normal for the show. I agree. 125 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,120 I feel like he's too much of a normal guy, too normal, 126 00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:39,679 and I think, uh, I'm curious if he's had uh he's been through 127 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,159 therapy. I've been a lot of these guys out because I'm feeling like I'm 128 00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:48,480 picking up a lot of like positive reinforcement coming from him. Yes, I'm 129 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,720 so proud of you, You've did so well, Like Yeah, it's very 130 00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:56,600 much. When you go through therapy, you start noticing people like that person's 131 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,000 been through therapy. I can tell. Uh. Lauras says Ace is actually 132 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,840 a threat to win it because he's sort of playing under the radar. He's 133 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,960 he's likable, people seem to like him. They're not really viewing him as 134 00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:11,559 much of a threat. What do you guys think is a Is Ace threat 135 00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:15,320 a threat? Sort of a I mean, I think he's a pretty well 136 00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:22,000 rounded player, but I mean, if this week is any indication and last 137 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,039 week, he doesn't seem to really have the tenacity to want to go after 138 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,639 getting a star. So no, I don't think Ace gives a shit. 139 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,559 I think he's happy to show up, hang out with all these people he 140 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,200 used to do stuff with. I mean, at the end of the day, 141 00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,639 when the final comes, if he ends up winning it, I'm sure 142 00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:45,440 he'd be happy. But he's not interested in I don't think making enemies. 143 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:52,240 And I mean the last season that he was on, what was it All 144 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,320 Stars Won? Was I think the last one he was on. He in 145 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,399 one of his interviews, said that if he won, he wasn't going to 146 00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:01,440 keep the money he was going to give it all the way to charity. 147 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,559 So like, I don't know how realistic that actually is. But if that's 148 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:13,360 really his MO, then he really doesn't give a shit. People would surprise 149 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,200 you, but he never He never gave a ship. That was always sort 150 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,960 of ass thing. He never made it very far in the game, but 151 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,320 he was always buddies with people and he left like in a good mood typically. 152 00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:28,639 So I don't know, I would like to see a's actually give it 153 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,039 an effort and try. I don't think we're going to see it. But 154 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,960 yeah, I just don't think that's his personality. No, it's not. 155 00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:37,559 There was a there was a guy a couple of seasons ago on Survivor that 156 00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:41,559 was gonna He said he was going to give if he won the million dollars, 157 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,440 He's going to give it all to like a veteran's charity, Gabler Gabler, 158 00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:48,399 and everybody was like, sure and he wasn't like well off or anything 159 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,120 like in his personal life. Sure Enough, he ended up winning. He 160 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,759 donated the entire thing to a veterans charity. Yeah, that's impressive, the 161 00:10:56,799 --> 00:11:01,600 Ali Gabler. Yeah, one vote away from a perfect game, that guy 162 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:09,120 one vote Pasidy Rob I know. All right, So Brad is still talking 163 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,639 to Ace, but he's talking about how this season has been a notoriously bad 164 00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:18,080 one for him. He's usually pretty good and all these games, this game 165 00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:24,919 or this this season just his worst performance probably ever. Yeah, he's especially 166 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:30,679 after after his last showing on the on the Challenge, like he he was 167 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,159 doing really well the last time he was on and he's just not this time. 168 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,559 They put a couple of good montages of him kicking ass throughout all sorts 169 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,879 of Challenge seasons, including that super weird karate kick one that he did remember 170 00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:48,679 that last all started stupid, and then a montage of all his failures this 171 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,240 season, which is just that poor guy. I just feel so bad for 172 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:58,120 him. So but anyway, it's clear that Brad is just throwing himself a 173 00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:01,399 pity party. People are They are trying to cheer him up. Even Carl 174 00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:05,200 Maria just says, like, dude, you're fucking Brad, like, yeah, 175 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:13,519 you are one of the people that people know from the Challenge. Yeah, 176 00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:16,519 yep, he's got to be in the top ten list of Challengers. 177 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,600 Like, I know, he's not on the Mount Rushmore for most people, 178 00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:22,279 but he's not. I think he's probably top ten. Yeah he's good. 179 00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:28,080 I don't know. Yeah, he's only one once, but I feel like 180 00:12:28,159 --> 00:12:31,399 he just he's made an impression enough and he's been around enough. Yeah, 181 00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:37,159 he's beat Leal here, he beat Landen and CT in elimination. Yeah, 182 00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:41,639 I don't know. I still feel like THET one was someone on a technicalgy 183 00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:43,519 doesn't matter. He wins on technicologies because he figures it out. He like 184 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,600 sees these games. He didn't figure that one out. Yeah, lost that 185 00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:50,600 one because CT fucked up. That had nothing to do with Brad, but 186 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,879 he shook it to make CT fuck up because Beth had already fucked up in 187 00:12:54,879 --> 00:12:58,080 a similar way, and Brad saw Beth go home, and so Brad. 188 00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:01,600 I think that's giving Brad a lot of credit. I think Brad was just 189 00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:09,120 getting endless credit. And CT won like four, four finals, five, 190 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,240 oh yeah since then? So I mean, is he that good? Well, 191 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,080 listen, I said he's not Mount Rushmore. CT is obviously Rushmore. 192 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,799 So yes, he's better. He's not as good as CT. I think 193 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:24,120 there's some people. He's clearly not as good as you know CT bananas like, 194 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,440 but top ten. I think he's top ten. I really do I 195 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,360 really do. Seems kind of high. Maybe top fifteen because there have been 196 00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:37,039 a lot of players. Yeah, maybe fifteen. Still he's up there. 197 00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:39,960 He's up there, is what I'm saying. He's like, he's not a 198 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,960 slouch. He's he's done well in these games. It's just not his not 199 00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:52,720 his season. And with that we're under the challenge. All right, Well, 200 00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:56,039 good news and bad news, guys. Good news, it's trivia time. 201 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,600 Tavia love trivia. I guess it's trivia. Well tell me tell me 202 00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:05,960 the bad news. What's bad about this game? I didn't realize like its 203 00:14:07,159 --> 00:14:09,279 spelling, be yep, that's problem. I was not super thrilled on that. 204 00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:13,159 Yeah, it seemed like I was not. I didn't like any of 205 00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:16,519 these questions. It was all sort of like hyper specific shit that you would 206 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,519 never ever know from previous in the season. Or spelling. They should be 207 00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:22,720 capitals of states or some like easy shit so that we can laugh at how 208 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,919 stupid they are. Yes, without that, this is the trivia is no 209 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,519 fun if I can't laugh at how dumb they are. Yeah, I don't 210 00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:33,519 mind spelling if it's they all do it once, but yeh, they all 211 00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:37,320 did it multiple times. I don't need three rounds of spelling. Yeah, 212 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,679 and the spelling should be simple words again, so they look stupid when they 213 00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:45,200 can't do it if you if you're making them spell maneuver, like, I 214 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,080 get it. I couldn't do that either. I spell maneuver, but then 215 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,039 also spell mission like yeah, yeah, it should all be missions, right, 216 00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:54,919 it should all be sort of the easiest questions ever. But yeah, 217 00:14:54,960 --> 00:15:00,320 anyway, now, because they're hanging over water, do you guys think ex 218 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,360 actually a hard word? I don't think I could spell maneuver without writing it 219 00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:07,279 down. Yeah, I agree with that, and I think I don't think 220 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,480 that it matters if you were over water or what I think if you are, 221 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:16,039 if you are being like, it's one thing to do with spelling be 222 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,720 in front of a bunch of people. It's an entirely different thing to do 223 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,679 a spelling bee in the air off the side of a building over water, 224 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,240 like having that added pressure. Definitely would like, that's that's why it's so 225 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,840 fucking funny, Like that's why you know, what do they uh, what 226 00:15:30,879 --> 00:15:35,759 do they speak in or what language they speak in Austria, Australian, Dutch, 227 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,360 Dutch? I know, but that was the that was the Johnny Bananas 228 00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:46,159 fucking it up and saying Australian Yeah, it's just it. I think the 229 00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:52,679 added pressure of being in a crazy situation is what really fucks them over, 230 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,840 and that's why it's so fucking funny. Yeah. But do we think that 231 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:03,960 they powered through a bunch of questions. No, and they moved on to 232 00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:08,200 spelling just to give them something to sort of get it going. I don't 233 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,799 know with only three wrongs. Yeah, I don't feel like those people are 234 00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:17,879 smart enough to power through that many questions when they only have three strikes. 235 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,000 Yeah. I feel like the funniest one was Nicole not knowing Tolkien, Oh 236 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,399 my God, which again, like that was some funny because it was like 237 00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:30,080 it was something, it was sort of like relatable. It wasn't how many 238 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:37,480 steps lead up to the Yeah that was that was so funny. But like, 239 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,480 it's one thing to not know Tolkien. It's an entirely different thing to 240 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,240 think that it's JK. Rowling. Yeah, I got the j part right. 241 00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:52,279 So they're pairing up TJ's given Brad shit. Nobody's kept pairing up with 242 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,039 poor Brad. Not only does he have in a bad season, but he's 243 00:16:56,039 --> 00:16:57,840 notoriously bad it trivia. So it's just sort of as like, Brad, 244 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,200 you're just fucked. Steve's in the chat room all by himself tonight, and 245 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,640 he said, Brad not having an answer as a teacher. Yeah, but 246 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,240 I mean we also we also saw him as a teacher a few years ago, 247 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,920 fuck up royally with just basic math. So that's Brad's big thing. 248 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,279 Like, I think Brad is really good at figuring out how to win games, 249 00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:22,119 but he's average at best at puzzles and math. Are you sure as 250 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,960 fuck was not good at figuring out how to win games this season? I 251 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,160 know it. I know he's at a bad season. Think he was history, 252 00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:33,240 really, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know why I know 253 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,720 that. I don't I don't even know if that's true, but I think 254 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,799 it was history. Also, this trivia is a little different because there's no 255 00:17:40,839 --> 00:17:42,880 sabotaging or giving points to anybody else. If you get it right or whatever, 256 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,960 it's really just three wrongs and you're out. Do you like this or 257 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:51,039 do you wish it was more like revealing of alliances and allegiances and all that 258 00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:56,440 stuff. I don't like I like this more than the giving it to other 259 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,240 people, because I feel like the giving it to other people we go a 260 00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:04,759 lot faster and people get out a lot quicker because like there's some some seasons 261 00:18:04,759 --> 00:18:08,480 where they do they going against other people and the first three teams all get 262 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,279 it right, and they all three put their their thing on the on the 263 00:18:12,319 --> 00:18:15,480 last team and that team is out before they even get to answer. So 264 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:22,079 I like this where you're playing against yourself right, because it prolongs the game. 265 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,880 Yep, I do too. Another interesting part I thought Avery. They 266 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,880 asked her what how many colors were on the South African flag, and she 267 00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:34,720 just like named all the colors and ship and counted them. Crazy. How 268 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,680 does she know how to do this because the South African flag is not that 269 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:44,000 hard. Would you've gotten this? Yeah, there's no chance if you if 270 00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:47,160 you gave me three flags and said pick the South African one, I don't 271 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,759 think I could even do that. Now. My guess is I know that 272 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,119 they are in South Africa, so maybe they have a flag at the house 273 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,000 and when she's bored, she just turned stairs at it. That could be. 274 00:18:57,279 --> 00:19:02,359 Yeah. There's a few years ago where they they did trivia. They 275 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:07,400 were in Turkey and it was what colors are on the Turkey on Turkey's flag, 276 00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:11,480 and they were in a harbor with a bunch of other boats that all 277 00:19:11,599 --> 00:19:18,200 had the flag of Turkey on them. Okay, yeah, I also the 278 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,200 I The one question that I really did like was what's the national animal of 279 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,920 South Africa? Yeah? It's something I never fucking heard of. Did you 280 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,799 guys know? Oh you didn't know that? The animal animal a spring buck. 281 00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:34,759 It's an antelope. It's a type of antelope. It's also the name 282 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:41,160 of their rugby team, They're the spring Bucks. I would have said it 283 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,400 looked like a gazelle to me, and I think I would have said gazelle. 284 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,559 Yeah, how did you know that too? I don't know. But 285 00:19:47,599 --> 00:19:49,839 the carline I wanted to ask you, do you know are you a person 286 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,720 that knows a lot of flags? Like, could you like name a bunch 287 00:19:53,759 --> 00:20:00,000 of countries flags? No? Probably not. I mean, like, it's 288 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,200 so, I I do have a group of my group of friends here we 289 00:20:03,279 --> 00:20:08,559 do bar trivia every Wednesday. You send us questions all the time. I'm 290 00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:14,200 saying this to everybody else I know, because we do bar trivia every week. 291 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,559 Yeah, I do send all of the wrestling questions, which there are 292 00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:21,359 a lot of and any of the movie questions that we can't get, which 293 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,920 there are. Yeah, there are a surprising number of wrestling questions. But 294 00:20:27,839 --> 00:20:32,680 when we do image rounds that have things like we did one a few weeks 295 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,160 ago because Minnesota has just changed their flag, we went from a really racist 296 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,319 one to a really boring one. And the week that that was officially announced, 297 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,720 the image round that week was a bunch of state flags and we had 298 00:20:45,759 --> 00:20:48,880 to guest states for those flags. And there are some states that you're looking 299 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,279 at like where the fuck is that? Like what what flag is this for? 300 00:20:55,759 --> 00:20:57,839 So there, I mean, I think it's I think you'd be surprised 301 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,079 him if you we're doing trivia that had a bunch of flags, Like if 302 00:21:02,079 --> 00:21:03,359 you had the flags in front of you, you might be able to guess 303 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,920 it. Yeah, I think I could do big ones, but I and 304 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,079 I know some of them like Mexico and Ireland. I think that's the same 305 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,440 flag, but just like reverse colors. Right, Yeah, there are a 306 00:21:14,519 --> 00:21:21,640 lot of flags where it's like France and like Synegal or something that there are 307 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,240 a bunch of flags where it's basically it's the same flag, just in reverse. 308 00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:29,319 Colors or upside down or I would struggle hard with all that shit. 309 00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:33,640 Yeah, but I do know Brazil's flag because that was the logo of the 310 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,759 duel. So how about that the challenge teaching me shit about flags? All 311 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,519 right? So averynew the South African flag. Ace though did not know what 312 00:21:41,559 --> 00:21:45,839 color the couch was. We get another Ace ensemble of Ace sleeping on a 313 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,319 couch? Did was Car the one who said green and gray? Car knew 314 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:56,240 it, but trusted Ace. I don't know how do we feel about a 315 00:21:56,319 --> 00:21:59,920 sleeping like. It was a funny montage, but we gave shit for Dario, 316 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,720 and I do kind of think if you're showing up like you should be 317 00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:06,480 entertaining on this show. This is the second episode where we have seen a 318 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,519 sleeping like. The first episode was two or three episodes ago when Carr called 319 00:22:10,519 --> 00:22:17,720 out Aces in Places and Steve doing stuff right the wild Stephen the wild and 320 00:22:17,759 --> 00:22:22,160 Aces in Places and Ace was sleeping and Steve is doing weird things. That 321 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,880 sounds about right for both of them. Yeah. Uh and then Leroy again, 322 00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:32,119 Leroy has just been like his little confessional one liners I think are just 323 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,960 the best this season. Uh, TV is getting ready to ask him the 324 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,759 last question, and Leroy says, asked me something I know, like how 325 00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:41,519 to spell my first name or how to smell my last name. No, 326 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,039 it wasn't, or how to spell my last name is or even how to 327 00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:48,240 spell my last name. Like spelling his last name was going to be hard. 328 00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:52,839 Either way. I fucking love this guy. He's so funny. Uh. 329 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:53,920 Well, at the end of the day, the losers, uh, 330 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,480 the only ones that matter are the men because it's a men's day. So 331 00:22:56,519 --> 00:23:00,920 the losers are Adam, Brad, Steve, and Ryan. Middle group who 332 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,599 is gonna be deciding what to do and who to throw in is Tina, 333 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,799 Ace, Kara, Jay, Nicole and Derek. That leaves the winners being 334 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:14,559 Leroy and Veronica. Good job, Leroy. Yeah, Leroy answered that last 335 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,039 question, got it right. It kind of seemed like Leroy got it with 336 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,240 no help, right because it because Veronica was also talking about like, maybe 337 00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:25,839 I don't want to win this one. Yeah, it kind of I kind 338 00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:30,480 of felt like she might have been saying, I don't know to potentially throw 339 00:23:30,519 --> 00:23:33,920 it. I think so too, because later when Lerou was giving her credit, 340 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,319 she looked a little uncomfortable. Yeah, because I really do think I 341 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,759 wonder if she was helping earlier to kind of be helping and then she didn't 342 00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:44,119 want to win, and so Leroy did pull it out. I wonder for 343 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,400 something like that. Yep, I felt that same way. You guys know, 344 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,519 do you know what the name of the tower is? No, no 345 00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:00,839 Khalifa? What is it? The Burge Khalifa. I don't even remember the 346 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,200 question I've heard of that where is the tallest building in the world. It's 347 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,000 Dubai. Yeah, I knew it was a Dubai. I didn't know what 348 00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:10,680 it was called. It used to be Chicago, remember in grade school. 349 00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:14,559 Yeah, in grade school it was Chicago, the Serious Tower at the time. 350 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:21,880 That's Willis Tower. It's the Serious Tower. In my heart, I 351 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,440 forgot that it had changed its name. Yeah, right by the Trump Tower 352 00:24:25,519 --> 00:24:30,000 Chicago now, which is really nice. All right. Uh So with that, 353 00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:33,240 we're on to dinner. Uh, pretty casual dinner here in the Challenge 354 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,920 House, just some pizza and some wine. They're not going out in clubbing 355 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,039 when the Yeah, yeah, when they first started talking about the dinner, 356 00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:42,559 I was like, why the fuck are we watching this? I don't care 357 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,119 that they're doing a big group dinner, Like what does this matter at all? 358 00:24:48,599 --> 00:24:52,000 This had to be because they didn't go out right. This was like 359 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,240 a bar night esque thing. They wanted some conversation and some drama at the 360 00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,279 table. I have a feeling they probably still went out just focused on this 361 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,440 because of Ace's story. Yeah, well, we're here, We're in the 362 00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:06,480 we're in the story. You want to expand on that, Carl and what's 363 00:25:06,519 --> 00:25:08,960 up with Ace here? No, because I fast forward. I fast forward 364 00:25:10,319 --> 00:25:15,119 the whole thing because like secondhand of embarrassment, and I also just really didn't 365 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,279 care. Yeah, this was horrible, U Zach, you want to you 366 00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:22,039 want to describe what Ace did here? I don't even marry the full story, 367 00:25:22,079 --> 00:25:27,599 but it's basically about how Adam and Brad were these knights that were gonna 368 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:33,559 go to battle and the Ace would willingly bestow his star upon whichever victor returned 369 00:25:33,559 --> 00:25:41,160 from the war field and oh gotcha. It was okay. But and maybe 370 00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:45,079 me fastwarding through it was a mistake because I didn't understand why Brad was so 371 00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:48,279 upset by the end of it. He felt like it was putting a target 372 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,519 on who people should vote for the next day. Yeah, he made a 373 00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:55,559 big show in front of the whole house, and it ended with you know, 374 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,960 our mighty warriors Brad and Adam battling it out in the arena tomorrow, 375 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,119 and Brad was like, wait a minute, I don't want to be in 376 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,480 the area, you know. So that's what's so okay. Then I missed 377 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,279 that part, but which I kind of listen to a little bit of it 378 00:26:07,319 --> 00:26:11,279 when I was anyway, it doesn't matter. But at one point in time 379 00:26:11,559 --> 00:26:14,480 I did hear Brad say, like, towards the end of this whole thing, 380 00:26:14,559 --> 00:26:18,640 like I don't want to go in. It's still early, Rad, 381 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,680 We're more than halfway through this game. What kind of early do you think 382 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,160 this is? Yeah? I don't He's not thinking like regularly. No, 383 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,279 Yeah, I'm amazing straight up not in this game. I'm guess I probably 384 00:26:29,319 --> 00:26:32,440 wants to go down when there's like two or less challenges, like one or 385 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:37,519 two challenges left. We are on episode seven. There are only ten episodes 386 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,039 of this of the show. Yeah, but two of them are going to 387 00:26:41,079 --> 00:26:45,079 be the final the final, Yeah, so there are only ten There are 388 00:26:45,079 --> 00:26:48,480 only ten challenges, like, and the problem is everybody's gonna want to go 389 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,160 into that last one. Yeah. So Rad's a moron for thinking that he 390 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,519 should wait, yeah, this seems yeah, this seems close enough. That's 391 00:26:55,519 --> 00:26:57,799 like you should you should use this chance to get your star and then protect 392 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,200 I hope you can protect it during the one or two eliminations and you're there. 393 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,519 But yeah, season, he's not thinking right. But maybe his thought 394 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,000 was like, Okay, if I get to the end, everyone's gonna want 395 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,839 to go win. But who's the house gonna want to tray get rid of 396 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,000 me? Or like Derek and Ryan, like I'm the bigger threat, they're 397 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,880 gonna want to throw me and drag it me out. I shot. Then 398 00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:25,039 Sally go to bed. Yeah, I oh, Tim's kid just showed up. 399 00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:29,839 Sorry guys, that's what Wolf he is yelling. Uh yeah, I 400 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,440 still I mean, I can understand that. But at the same time, 401 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:41,039 it just it felt like a really fucking boneheaded move. Like you, it 402 00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:45,920 was very dumb. It just I yeah, I didn't understand it all. 403 00:27:47,559 --> 00:27:52,480 Yeah, it just made no sense, made no sense at all. I 404 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,759 need to step away for a few minutes. I'm gonna afford my notes to 405 00:27:55,799 --> 00:28:02,480 the group chat. I'll be okay. I cast understanding the sense of maybe 406 00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:04,200 part of it was not one to go in. A part of it has 407 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,519 also been like he didn't want to go against Adam because I don't think Adam's 408 00:28:08,519 --> 00:28:11,400 that big of a slouch. And to me, he's like, yeah, 409 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,599 I want to wait till I have an easier competition. Yeah. I mean 410 00:28:15,599 --> 00:28:22,160 I can understand that, like you're pitting two pretty pretty good players against each 411 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,920 other, or at least what we've seen so far, pretty good players. 412 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,759 But it just I don't know it. It all boils down to Brad's head 413 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:37,440 was just straight up not in this game. No stove in the chat room 414 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,599 said, apparently he went through a really bad breakup the week he was flying 415 00:28:41,599 --> 00:28:45,119 out, which led to him not being focused in the game. Okay, 416 00:28:45,799 --> 00:28:51,759 sure, I guess that makes sense. All right, so I guess we're 417 00:28:51,759 --> 00:28:56,039 technically we're on de nominations. Yeah, Avery and Jay talk with Brad about 418 00:28:56,039 --> 00:29:03,799 this whole thing. Avery Trice calm Brad down. A Ace thinks Brad wanted 419 00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:08,319 to go in. Oh, Ace, he says, Ace thinks Brad wanted 420 00:29:08,359 --> 00:29:11,440 to go in, knows he kind of messed up. So I don't Yeah, 421 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,519 I thought he he thought Brad wanted to go in, which is why 422 00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:21,400 he picked him and Adam for the story, and Brad apparently, like we've 423 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,759 mentioned, was like, I don't want to go in Why did he keep 424 00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:26,279 saying my name? If he felt like I put it so, then Ace 425 00:29:26,319 --> 00:29:29,319 felt bag because he wasn't trying to be a dick. Yeah, he was 426 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,160 just having funny likes Brad. He mentioned it multiple times, yep. So 427 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,799 he's like, I feel really bad about it. But well, that's like, 428 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,000 I mean, the little bit of his story that I did watch, 429 00:29:38,079 --> 00:29:41,880 like, it was obvious that Ace was trying to be funny and goofy, 430 00:29:42,039 --> 00:29:48,119 like he's telling a story about knights, Like he's making up a story about 431 00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:51,079 the child. It's meant to be funny, it's not meant to like he's 432 00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:53,960 also he's just a goofy dude, Like, yeah, yeah, Brad was. 433 00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:57,920 It's really clear that Brad's head was just not in this game. And 434 00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:03,480 because I feel like in other seasons he would not have taken it this hard. 435 00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:07,319 Yeah, he would have found it funny. Like I don't know, 436 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,480 it just it was odd to me. But We've got a scene of Adam 437 00:30:11,519 --> 00:30:17,440 and Ryan and Derek all sitting out on the chairs outside and they're talking about 438 00:30:17,559 --> 00:30:21,319 the story last night, and you know what's gonna happen for nominations, And 439 00:30:21,359 --> 00:30:23,920 this is when Adam says, yeah, I want to get my starbuck fucking 440 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,039 throw me in. I don't care who I go against, throw me in 441 00:30:27,839 --> 00:30:32,640 fully on board. Yeah, which I mean. I know that Tim is 442 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,400 not a huge fan of Adam, but I fully appreciated this, like he 443 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,599 realizes that we're towards the end of the game. This is the first season. 444 00:30:41,079 --> 00:30:44,240 I may have seen him once before a long time ago and just don't 445 00:30:44,279 --> 00:30:48,920 remember, but this is my first season with Adam. I've had zero problem 446 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,039 with him. Yeah. Same. I feel like he's been he's been cool, 447 00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:55,599 he's been nice, he's been he wants to play the game. He 448 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,519 said he's ready. He's like, I'll go in. Yeah. Well, 449 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,200 I don't care. I've always like him. I think he was a little 450 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,559 bit of a you know, a dick back in the day, but he's 451 00:31:03,559 --> 00:31:07,279 always really good at the game. I thought, like, so, I 452 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,960 like people that are good at the game. I have absolutely no memory of 453 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:18,920 him back in the day. I still I maintained that there are times when 454 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,519 he says things that Tim we're talking about Adam. There are times when we 455 00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:29,240 when he says things that I just I feel sad, like it feels like 456 00:31:29,359 --> 00:31:33,039 he's been like he went through something major, like a major life change and 457 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:38,839 pulled himself out of a really deep dark place that it just, I don't 458 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,440 know, it makes me feel sad. He does seem to allude to something, 459 00:31:42,839 --> 00:31:47,960 yeah screen that nobody really knows what he's talking about. And for a 460 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,000 little while I thought that it was like he maybe he was dealing with drugs 461 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,680 and alcohol, because that seems to be a very common thing with not very 462 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,920 common but a more common thing with reality star. But I think he's drinking 463 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,680 in this house, so maybe not. I don't know. It just I 464 00:32:05,759 --> 00:32:07,079 just think a lot of these people, by the time they're this age, 465 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,000 right, like in their forties, yeah, most of them have probably gone 466 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:15,960 through some shit because they're chaotic people just regardless. Yeah, and most people 467 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,559 have been given through shit by their forties anyway. Yeah, but I agree 468 00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:22,079 with you, Carl, And he sounds weird when he talks about his past, 469 00:32:22,119 --> 00:32:27,400 and he sounds like there's something like like he's alluding to something bad happening, 470 00:32:27,519 --> 00:32:30,359 but he doesn't ever actually say it. Whereas Ryan, we have the 471 00:32:30,359 --> 00:32:38,160 whole conversation about Ryan and his sobriety and how good for Ryan. Yeah, 472 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,960 he's the nine percent that has that didn't relapse in the first nine or first 473 00:32:43,039 --> 00:32:46,720 ninety days, which fucking great for him. I hope he continues. Yeah. 474 00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:50,039 What's weird though, you know, we've seen Ryan on the show a 475 00:32:50,039 --> 00:32:52,039 lot. I don't remember drinking for him ever, being like, I don't 476 00:32:52,079 --> 00:32:55,240 think it was drinking. Oh, he had different types of drugs he liked. 477 00:32:55,319 --> 00:32:59,680 Yeah, No, I think it was something else. Okay, Yeah, 478 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,200 because we've seen like the sloppy like we've seen Tanya and it's like, 479 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:06,240 all right, Tanya has got a problem. I don't problem. Yeah. 480 00:33:06,279 --> 00:33:08,759 I don't remember ever seeing Ryan and thinking he had a problem. But yeah, 481 00:33:09,039 --> 00:33:12,799 maybe it was different drugs than what we saw him doing. Yeah, 482 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,359 the way that he the way that he was phrasing things, it sounded like 483 00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:21,400 hard drugs, not not alcohol. Yeah, And maybe I'm wrong, but 484 00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:25,559 normally when people go sober, they go sober for everything, regardless of whether 485 00:33:25,599 --> 00:33:31,559 their issue was drugs or alcohol. Yeah. I don't know where we are 486 00:33:31,599 --> 00:33:38,039 in the notes nominations. Yeah right, God damn it. And you can 487 00:33:38,079 --> 00:33:46,000 continue from there, all right, pretty obvious nomination session. I think we 488 00:33:46,039 --> 00:33:51,519 could always we could all sort of guess how this plays out. It really 489 00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:54,559 just becomes like everybody says yes to Adam obviously, so it becomes a choice 490 00:33:54,559 --> 00:34:00,960 between Brad and Ryan. Uh, Derek is in there sort of advocating for 491 00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:05,640 Ryan. I don't know. It just sort of it comes down to Ace. 492 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,960 Ace picks Brad. No, it first, it comes down to everybody 493 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,280 whos said they're not voting for Steve, and everybody said that they will vote 494 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,480 for Adam. Yeah, so we're just trying to pick that second player, 495 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,760 and we've got two votes for Ryan, We've got two votes for Brad. 496 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,960 And then it comes down to Tina. And Tina sits there and goes, 497 00:34:24,079 --> 00:34:29,280 oh, well, uh, I guess I'll choose the safe one and go 498 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:34,000 with Steve. Yeah. She makes me Chase decide. Yeah. Well, 499 00:34:34,079 --> 00:34:37,719 And the thing that pissed me off about this is that one I thought that 500 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:43,280 Tina was friends with Ryan, like you would think that you, I mean, 501 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,239 you would think that you'd have your friends back. She just doesn't want 502 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,079 blood on her hands because she also likes Brad, I think, Yeah, 503 00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:51,800 so she just doesn't want to be in the decision, so she throws out 504 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,000 somebody that's not in the decision. But this is where I think Ace fucked 505 00:34:55,079 --> 00:35:00,360 up in that Ace should have thrown Steve too and tied it up up and 506 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,679 made them redo it three way time. Yeah. But the fact that he 507 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,400 didn't do that makes me think Ace wanted Brad in there. Yeah. And 508 00:35:08,519 --> 00:35:13,599 it could be because of the snacks that Ryan apparently gave him as he can, 509 00:35:14,639 --> 00:35:17,400 or it could be that he's scared of Brad to final I don't know, 510 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:22,199 what do you guys think. I will call him a little columb I 511 00:35:22,199 --> 00:35:25,280 don't know. I feel like Ace is just like I don't know, just 512 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,159 no. Els could have just been that he wanted to see two powerhouses go 513 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,800 at it. Yeah. I just think like if I'm Ace and I think 514 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,800 Brad wants to go in, and I advocate for Brad, but then Brad 515 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:38,679 tells me like, oh no, dude, I don't want to go in, 516 00:35:39,119 --> 00:35:42,400 I think I'd be like, oh, okay, then I won't vote 517 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,119 for you. Yeah, I think I still voted. Makes me think that 518 00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:49,159 he wanted Brad. That was his plan. It wasn't that he thought Brad 519 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,599 wanted it, It's that he wanted it. Well. Also think there's a 520 00:35:52,679 --> 00:35:54,400 chance at once, he kind of pissed off Brad. He's like, all 521 00:35:54,519 --> 00:35:58,559 right, Like, now I have my choice between someone that I have no 522 00:35:58,679 --> 00:36:01,800 issues with and somebody just recently pissed off. Why would I want to keep 523 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,280 the person that's pissed at me in the house. Yeah, someone I recently 524 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:10,679 pissed off over something that was a joke. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, 525 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,119 But then he's gonna so then he's gonna throw Brad in, and then 526 00:36:14,119 --> 00:36:16,440 what if Brad comes back, it's even worse. I don't know. I 527 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,719 just think Ace is so low conflict. I think I would have just expected 528 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,159 As to be like, oh, Brad, I didn't know, Okay, 529 00:36:22,159 --> 00:36:24,760 I'll vote for a Ryan then and then it's fine. Yeah, I don't 530 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:30,599 know's I'm not disagreeing with you. I think that ultimately, yes, he 531 00:36:30,639 --> 00:36:34,679 wanted Brad in there, but at the same time, like, I don't 532 00:36:34,679 --> 00:36:37,119 know, I guess I could talk myself out of any of the scenarios. 533 00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:42,280 Hum In his confessional, he says that he saved Ryan because Ryan sent him 534 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:47,239 down some snacks. And I saw some speculation on this, and the hullabaloo 535 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:52,079 online is that this happened during All Stars one when they were quarantined in the 536 00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:59,480 hotel that Ryan would like lower snacks on the balcony to Ace's hotel room. 537 00:36:59,639 --> 00:37:04,480 That's the room or online. So there you go. But so that's as 538 00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:09,320 Aces prioritizing that over this twenty year friendship he has with Brad. Ryan's been 539 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,320 around for that long too. Yeah, and I guess I can't remember if 540 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,039 As and Ryan played together back in the day. I don't remember if they 541 00:37:15,079 --> 00:37:19,119 played together either. I mean, we got the little clip of Adam and 542 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,559 Ryan talking about how when they played back in the day they were things. 543 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:30,840 They weren't playing necessarily on the same side. But oh yeah, my dog 544 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:36,599 just threw a sock across the room. So if you hear craziness in the 545 00:37:36,599 --> 00:37:43,760 background, it's because she's playing with a sock y. All right. Well, 546 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:51,840 with that, we're onto the elimination. Yes, we've seen this one 547 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,519 before, although I can't recall when this was the one that I think Janelle 548 00:37:55,559 --> 00:38:01,760 was supposed to go into it, like the very first elimination of the entire 549 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:06,800 season. But I don't remember seeing the thing where they had to run up. 550 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,039 I feel like the one that we saw with Janelle they were going to 551 00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:14,559 be pushing with the hands. But yeah, I really don't recall. I 552 00:38:14,599 --> 00:38:15,920 just remember it looked earlier and it's like I can't place that, and then 553 00:38:16,119 --> 00:38:19,400 yeah, it's because we never actually saw it get played, which is why 554 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,159 everybody was so excited, because we never saw it get played. Yeah, 555 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,559 it was kind of a cool game. It's called cheat codes. There's a 556 00:38:24,599 --> 00:38:30,599 big joysick. You punch the buttons with your feet and you got to memorize 557 00:38:30,639 --> 00:38:35,000 them in the right order. This would be a hard one, I would 558 00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:37,280 I could do this all night, I would never get it done. I 559 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,199 have the world's worst memory. This would be awful for me. Would you 560 00:38:40,199 --> 00:38:45,320 guys do good on these? Nope, not even close. We'll fold suck. 561 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,639 Yeah. I don't think I was done very well. I probably not. 562 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,679 I think Adam had an amazing strategy, and if I thought to do 563 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,000 it his way, I think I could do well at it. But I 564 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,679 think I would have tried to do something more like Brad and done too much 565 00:38:58,679 --> 00:39:05,280 at once. Yeah. I was watching them jump down off that thing onto 566 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,480 the ground and going oh every time. I was like, oh, my 567 00:39:07,559 --> 00:39:10,960 knees would be fucking shot. After the first time I did notice they they 568 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:15,079 were more careful than like what you see the young dudes, do you know 569 00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:20,119 they seemed a little more cautious. Yeah. I did like the game though. 570 00:39:20,199 --> 00:39:23,159 I My favorite part about the entire thing though, was after the TJ 571 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,800 explains the game, he turns to Leroy, agaus, Leroy, do you 572 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:34,079 want to come down? And he has Hell, no, Leroy is just 573 00:39:34,199 --> 00:39:37,400 a pleasure this season, Like, we hadn't seen this version of Leroy and 574 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,920 so in a long time, haven't we? That Just everything he says is 575 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:45,000 hilarious. He's always been overshadowed by bananas. Yeah. Well, I think 576 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:51,000 he's also more relaxed because this isn't like his life now. Yeah, and 577 00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:53,599 he's got Cam there. I think Cam helps him kind of stay grounded. 578 00:39:54,159 --> 00:39:58,000 Yep, so I did. I was thinking about this when I was watching 579 00:39:58,039 --> 00:40:00,599 this, and I hadn't really thought about it before. What do you guys 580 00:40:00,639 --> 00:40:05,360 think about the fact that TJ tells them what the game is first and then 581 00:40:05,679 --> 00:40:07,920 gives the winners the option to pick That's how it should go. I like 582 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,800 that. That's so that's how it should go. Winner should get the advantage. 583 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:15,719 That's how That's how it works. It's the winner's abandoned. Yeah, 584 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,519 I was I was, I was on the fence. I I now that 585 00:40:17,559 --> 00:40:22,159 you have said that, I agree because I kind of I kind of liked 586 00:40:22,199 --> 00:40:28,360 it in seasons past where they could just see the arena and like not actually 587 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,960 know what the game was and have to pick completely on chance, so there 588 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:37,320 was the possibility that they would be completely fucked. But now that you've said 589 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,360 that, I agree. Yeah, winners should get the advantage, like that's 590 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:45,320 the whole point of winning. Yeah. And I I also think on Survivor 591 00:40:45,519 --> 00:40:50,039 you should be able to play the idol after the votes. They've only done 592 00:40:50,039 --> 00:40:52,519 that one season as far as I know. Did they play the idol before 593 00:40:52,519 --> 00:40:55,320 the votes? They did it after the votes, but before the votes are 594 00:40:55,320 --> 00:41:00,559 revealed. Yeah. When they first brought idols in the the first like two 595 00:41:00,679 --> 00:41:05,880 or three seasons, you played after the votes were read. Yeah. And 596 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,159 then once they switched, they had a super idol one season that you could 597 00:41:08,159 --> 00:41:13,239 play after votes are read. Yeah, but it's not normally you can't. 598 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,719 It's normally after the voting, but before the votes are read. Yeah, 599 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,280 but it makes people waste idols. But I do think there should be an 600 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,320 idol, maybe a special one one every season where you can do it after 601 00:41:22,679 --> 00:41:25,119 anyway, I was gonna say, yes, they know. The issue why 602 00:41:25,159 --> 00:41:30,079 they changed it was if you're married. The old seasons like when people would 603 00:41:30,079 --> 00:41:30,960 find that idle, they're just like, hey, I have the idol, 604 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,559 and then no one would vote for the rest of the season and just I'm 605 00:41:34,599 --> 00:41:37,280 ack again, i'mac by to the final because people would be too afraid. 606 00:41:39,079 --> 00:41:44,920 Yep, yeah, yep, youle. Someone just said that you'll Oh God, 607 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:50,159 I love you all all right, so they play Zach you already went 608 00:41:50,159 --> 00:41:54,000 over the strategies. Brad tried to memorize longer strings of codes, but he 609 00:41:54,039 --> 00:41:58,800 couldn't do it, so he had to keep restarting. Adam did much smaller 610 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,480 chunks, so it took a lot more trips, but I didn't have to 611 00:42:00,519 --> 00:42:06,320 reset, and Adam wins it and goodbye Brad. See I thought at first, 612 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,679 when Brad kept hitting the start button, I was sitting there, like, 613 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,679 does he not? I was thinking that he may not have realized that 614 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,920 he didn't have to hit the start button every time he was punching in more 615 00:42:17,039 --> 00:42:20,800 things. I thought like, maybe he thought that he needed to every time 616 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,360 he went back there. I thought that's why he kept restarting, And then 617 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:28,400 when he actually said, oh no, I was restarting because I was fucking 618 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:34,840 things up. Oh okay, so that was intentional, but yeah, yeah, 619 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,320 but with how he had been playing the game like, I wasn't entirely 620 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:43,639 sure that it was in intentional until he said, so yeah, it was 621 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,320 very sad. I'm gonna really miss Brad, not only for my love affair 622 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:52,280 with Brad, but for my draft. It's all very sad. Brad goes 623 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,760 home, Adam takes Ace's star, which is a surprise to nobody, including 624 00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:01,440 Ace, although Derek has a problem them that Eric seems or that Ace seems 625 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:07,079 to not care so much, but that he's getting a star taken. I 626 00:43:07,119 --> 00:43:08,480 don't know, do you guys care about this? Should have? Should a 627 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:13,400 Ace have been more upset about taking a star? I think? I mean, 628 00:43:14,079 --> 00:43:15,519 I think I saw the writing on the wall. He knew whoever one 629 00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:19,360 was gonna take a star either way. So I think he's just trying to 630 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,400 pull on a good face and be like, let me, let me be 631 00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:25,920 a good sport about because I know it's the outcome. I think so too. 632 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,480 And he didn't earn that star, and he knows it, and everybody 633 00:43:29,519 --> 00:43:31,440 knows it. So just take it back. Yeah, so it was easy 634 00:43:31,559 --> 00:43:34,599 enough for him to just be like, yeah, no worries. I mean, 635 00:43:34,639 --> 00:43:37,360 it's kind of like when Tina was when her star was given away. 636 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:42,000 Yeah, I mean, she just made me to fight about it because she 637 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,880 was just defaulted a star because Janelle didn't play right. And what's the alternative? 638 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,280 You throw a big hissy fit and you stomp around and they take your 639 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,159 star. Anyway, It's like it's a game. Just be cool, but 640 00:43:52,199 --> 00:43:58,840 away. That's Jim Stephen. The Chat wants us to bring back Survivor. 641 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:05,079 We did two seasons.

This season, the best episode of Survivor was last night 647 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:36,880 to stop when the whoever won the reward challenge? Okay, I didn't see 648 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,239 who they picked you, Oh Charlie, Okay, Oh it's all Oh, 649 00:44:40,159 --> 00:44:45,239 you're at the best part.

Also, he's zach do you want to tell us about how 671 00:46:01,199 --> 00:46:04,800 the draft is going? I would let to tell you how the draft is 672 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,159 going. Let me pull it up real quick. He's pulling. I have 673 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:13,039 the I have the public League, all right, you can start them. 674 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,840 So I have fucked up royally the last two weeks and have both weeks completely 675 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:23,159 forgotten to set my lineup. Uh So, first place is still Steve whatever 676 00:46:23,199 --> 00:46:28,920 stove. He has seven hundred and seventy two points. Zachie Bananas is now 677 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:34,199 closing in at second with six hundred and seventy mm, and then we've got 678 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,800 Sarah Hope to see you Never in third place with six hundred and sixty five. 679 00:46:37,679 --> 00:46:42,280 But the rest of the hosts, let's see Big Uncle, Sweet Teas 680 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,480 and ninth. Even though I haven't put in points for picks for the last 681 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:52,119 two weeks, I am in eleventh and Wolfie. But you know what, 682 00:46:52,119 --> 00:46:54,920 I think that's a test twenty eighth twenty. I think that's a testament as 683 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,199 to how much you can change this. So even if you're not doing so 684 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:00,840 well in the rank, give it a shot, try to get back in 685 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:05,199 there. Yeah. Yeah, So I now have an official alarm set on 686 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:09,880 my phone every Tuesday night saying, set your fucking lineup and do it right 687 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:14,199 now, because we're talking right now. Uh, and I need to think 688 00:47:14,199 --> 00:47:16,159 about it a little bit more. Go pick three randos and then refine it. 689 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,159 And then if you forget to refine it, you've at least got the 690 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,039 randos. I will do it when we're done. Just let me tell you 691 00:47:22,039 --> 00:47:25,119 how to live your life. Carl. Well, congratulations, you are now 692 00:47:25,119 --> 00:47:30,840 officially beating Sunday. She's in thirty first. Did she forget to line up? 693 00:47:31,639 --> 00:47:36,960 She forgot to a lineup last week? Oh yeah she did. Oh 694 00:47:37,079 --> 00:47:43,559 no, that's funny, all right. So then in the host league in 695 00:47:43,679 --> 00:47:47,079 fourth place with no players left. I'm sorry, Tim, I know it's 696 00:47:49,119 --> 00:47:55,480 from first place week one. I know my players just like a fucking clean 697 00:47:55,559 --> 00:48:00,360 sweep. All my players just they're gone. All you assholes have a half 698 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:05,519 of yours. It might are all gone awad in third place with thirty eight 699 00:48:05,559 --> 00:48:09,199 points is Wolfie? Wait, how many points did I have, Zach? 700 00:48:09,519 --> 00:48:13,840 You have twenty three? That's it. I maxed out at twenty three. 701 00:48:14,039 --> 00:48:17,760 You're maxed out twenty three. Damn it the wolf who's at thirty eight? 702 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,119 But that's Michael Jordan's number, I know. I think I got that on 703 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:30,760 like week two or three. And then between Carlin and I we're separated by 704 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:35,639 only five points. Oh, you're pulling a TJ. He's pulled a TJ 705 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,079 over there. But I've come up in the rankings you have. But Carlin, 706 00:48:39,519 --> 00:48:44,280 for now, you're still in second place with fifty six and I'm in 707 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:51,079 first at sixty one. I do still think it's rigged me too, or 708 00:48:51,199 --> 00:48:54,519 I just ingraded picking teams because I've been doing this for a decade. That 709 00:48:54,599 --> 00:49:00,079 could also be rigged. But no, Carlin. Last two weeks, I 710 00:49:00,159 --> 00:49:06,119 wrote, Carlon has had both winners on her team. All right, that's 711 00:49:06,159 --> 00:49:12,639 that's coming on up. I don't want to talk about. You don't have 712 00:49:12,639 --> 00:49:16,440 to talk about anymore. You're out of it. Public the public league is 713 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:21,079 my redemption. That's funny. It's funny because I was thinking early on, 714 00:49:21,119 --> 00:49:23,280 I was like, when Tony was like, should I ask him about like 715 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:28,719 letting you have Jasmine instead? But that that would have done you much better 716 00:49:29,559 --> 00:49:34,079 when we were when we were talking about the the lineups on the preseason r 717 00:49:34,119 --> 00:49:37,599 on the pre show, I half a second was like, oh, we 718 00:49:37,599 --> 00:49:42,079 should just let Tim have the extra play a. Never mind, she's already 719 00:49:42,119 --> 00:49:46,840 gone to. Yeah. I appreciate you guys feeling so sorry for me that 720 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:52,119 you'll let me cheat to at least keep playing. But well, sorry, 721 00:49:52,159 --> 00:49:53,639 that wouldn't help you, though, No, they wouldn't. I'll just I'm 722 00:49:53,679 --> 00:50:00,800 focused on the public league. Now, do you have any social media stuff? 723 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:06,800 Say? I really only saw one big announcement, which is that Derek 724 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:13,599 and his wife announced the birth of their new child yesterday. The congratulations to 725 00:50:13,679 --> 00:50:17,000 them. Man, how old is his oldest kid? It's gonna be like 726 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:23,960 seventeen. Yeah, yeah, he's getting up there. That's like a that's 727 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:29,480 like a stretch between those two kids, one in college and newborn. Crazy. 728 00:50:29,599 --> 00:50:31,920 Just just wait till Daisy's seventeen, you can have another kid? No, 729 00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:40,360 no, absolutely not no, you like pro'bly fifty. Yeah, you'll 730 00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,440 be old old dad. It'd be great. I'm already an old dad. 731 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,119 I don't know anything else you want to talk about. No, no, 732 00:50:55,199 --> 00:51:00,559 all right, well I guess that's it. After show. This week's this 733 00:51:00,639 --> 00:51:07,440 week's edition of Challenge that has been Brian been being on a sweet team Carl 734 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:17,400 in San Diego, Zachie Bananas and as Leroy said, hell no, he's 735 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:30,800 got Charlie. Charlie, Charlie,
