short lived. I feel like that was a weird elimination.

what I meant, All Stars one time got cut short,
weird elimination. No one, no one wanted to see you go,
(02:33):
you know, and coming back on two, do you feel
like people are looking to you as like, you know,
the wiser one, because you've already experienced All Stars one. Yeah,
I don't know. I think I think they're taking me
as a real competitive time because I came to play
All Stars one. I wasn't there to play, like. I
volunteered day one because I could have went home one
(02:54):
day one. You know what I'm saying. It was all
about just let me get and get out, a lot
of stuff going on outside of the show, you know
what I'm saying. So I wanted to be there, but
it was better for me to leave, you know what
I mean. That's what I'm literally, literally, yeah, literally, I
didn't care if I fell left on day one, you
know what I mean. I didn't, but we did, thank you. Yeah,
(03:15):
a lot of people. I missed my long, strong hugs.
I missed funny lines. I mean, you could take any
insult and turn it into a joke. I love it.
We need more tech, I got screens. Well, well, I'm
happy that I'm happy that you guys, or that you're

I'm like, hell no when we sign it up, so no,
And see when I got there, I'm like, okay, I

So now that I'm here, let me show y'all that

So I'm like, watch this, this is just gym class.
We'll take it back there. And I'm a stake and
and so far I've been doing all right, you know,
because I had something to prove it to myself and
to other people too. Yeah, and you not only came
(04:41):
to play, you started or somebody started this King's palace
and people want to know where it came from. And
you guys just are unstoppable right now. Thank you, oh man,

came uh okay, So you know last season it was
me and LT were in the room together already, right,
so I had him, so me and L two go

so we ran. I had his shoes, got him a bed.
Nil Mina came in, got a bed. Milita came in
because you know she knows nil Mina gotta bean. Steve
came in. And we've just been clowning the whole time
in the room, right, and Nia Maya says something joking me.
I think he said something like probably talking to like
Janelle or or Joanna, or something about coming into the
(05:24):
room or something that's something about this is what it spells.
I think someone made a comedy by how good our
room smell? And Nil Maya says something about, yeah, because
you don't burn my instanse with you know, blah blah blah,
and we do our little clothes and shit, and and
if he says something like yeah, this is what it
spelled like, royalty, this is what it spelled like in
the King's Palace. And from there we just you know
(05:47):
what I'm saying, It was the whole song. I've heard
the whole song. Were releasing the song on Thursday. Yes,
so it just came for us just really clowned up
in the room, like really just being some cool casts clowning.
And then it just and then so the King's Palace
we got the sign. You know what I'm saying. It
was It was the three Kings, the Queen and the
King's hand for Steve. Yeah, yeah, that that didn't age well,
(06:14):
but I love that. You guys, Actually, what did you
like hop in the studio and actually record the song
physically after it was over? Oh yeah, oh, yeah, oh yeah,
so okay. So then so then that came about. Okay,
so it was um episode, not the one I just saw,
but the one right before, right when LT was like
going into the arena or something, and then he's like, yo,
we need to have a theme song. And then I
(06:34):
literally was looking out the window and then I was like,
that's like yeah, stay deep palace, Safe deep palace. We
were clowning. We were clowning like safe beep palace Safe. No,
it was it was we're in the room el he's
about the nation. I mean it was LT's about to
go into the nation or the pole wrestling one, right,
And I remember we were looking out the window and
(06:55):
were talking about like looking down on people, like just
looking down on them and they look up at us.
We're just talking shit, right, and lts like, Yo, we
need a theme song. So I churned around like say
the palace sat. So we were clowning, right, So you
know Brad the director, So we started doing our little
things and the bad directors started rapping with it. He
started rapping. I said, oh shit, rass started rapping, and
I got to write it goddamn song. So on the way,
(07:18):
so on the way to the elimination. We just can't
was like saying the Palace, Say the Palace, and because Joanna,
because Joanna was lt same Joe, Joe Joe, and that
was his song, right, So say the Palace kind of
came from that. And then uh, on the way to
the elemination, I had my book and I just wrote them.
I just wrote the song and he won and we
just busted out see and the Melinda's on it too. Yeah,
(07:40):
so long switch. So when we so we started singing
it so much. So I'm like, yo, y'all, we got
a song. I got a producer. Shots from man fingers.
He's like a multi platinum producer, shout out the things
he did, show the link, elbows up side to Yeah.
So that's my god, hollow him and I'm like, yo, bro,
(08:01):
I gotta do the song. He said, Man, it comes
to the studio. I got your Claire. So when they
came into La for the interviews, I said, Yo, we
got to hop in the studio. I grabbed everybody, took
to the studio real quick. We did the song. It
came out fire once againting shout out to the King's Palace,
my man fingers, that is so much fucking fun, dude.
Like that's one of the reasons why I love All
Stars so much. Like I'm obviously I've never been an
(08:22):
All Star and I'm not on that show, but watching it,
I'm like, you guys, like just there's a sense of
just just like vitality just pouring out of it. It
just seems fun. It is. That's what what That's what
h We definitely had, That's what you said. We're gonna
have it fun, you know what I'm saying. I was
telling us somebody another podcast. I mean, like, keep it real.
What we're doing is like we're going to Paradise to
play kids games and get paid. Let's keep it one hunting,
(08:44):
you know what I mean. So you know it's cheaper,
drama free, sucker free, you know what I'm saying. And
you know I'm having a good time. Yeah. Yeah, And
I'm gonna siting. I'm gonna make sure I'm sending I'll
send y'all the one because I want to make sure
you got the master one, the good ones. I must
send it to you. I think I have it. I
have it. Did definitely chat with me. It was really good.
Listen to whole I gotta I want to give you.
(09:04):
I'm gonna give you a good one. I think that
might have been the one that I'm not bad. I
gotta you know. It might have had all the touches
on it. You know, somebody touches on it. You know,
all of that spice. So you said that you walked
into the house with Liltarian shoes, right, and you know
you were like already walking in with your homie. Did
(09:25):
you have any other alliances, if you would even consider
that an alliance before you entered the game, or were
you kind of going into this season just being like
whatever unfolds unfolds. I was going into the game and
whatever unfolds unfolds. Uh uh yeah. Me and I guess
we had an alliance already because we were roommates from before.
(09:46):
So you know, that's my boy, you know what I mean.
So it's kind of like one of those natural alliances,
you know. So but everything, I was ready to play
the game, you know what I'm saying, and our alliance
just kind of came naturally. I think it was because
we were in the room and we just wanted to
have that organic feel of in the room. You want
to sleep comfortab you know, what I mean, it's different energy.
If you're like in the ruin somebody and you kind
of even be like, man, this motherfucker guy and mine
(10:06):
put me in. You know what I'm saying. It's like
a different energy, you know what I'm saying. So our
our alliance came organically from just then energy of the room,
like hey, like you know the old under arm or
commercial we must protect this house, you know. So that's
kind of what where our mantra came. Our mindset was,
you know. So we use that mantra and just we
roll with that mantra. We must protect this house, save
(10:27):
the palace. Was there a mantra for um for Yanna
because you got to work with her and the right
bounce each other out, something you would say to her
to calm her down before things, or like because I
feel like you guys both have these big personalities. And
that's what it was. That's what it was. We both
to we both album office, you know what I'm saying.
(10:47):
You know, I mean she both admitted she's an alpha
female and I'm an alpha male, you know what I'm saying.
So it's just about about not even an ego, just
we're both smart what's wrong. We're both smart and I
don't want to say that not cocky, but like, um,
we both think, we both have our thinking is it's different.
Let me say that. So let me say it in
a different way. We don't have this kind of like
(11:08):
critical thinking or thinking very different, you know what I'm saying.
So the way we in our car process. Yeah, yeah
that's the way. Yeah, so thank you so. And and
it kind of like two big two big peaky whether
the peaky in the brain there's no peaky, there's just
two brains, you know. So so that that was our thing.
(11:30):
I let her door thing, she let me do it
my thing, you know, and and good thing. I had
a Yana because I came back. I was like, oh shit,
that's on that Oh we'stop. Yeah. I didn't tell everybody that,
you know what I'm saying, Like I nor, but I
was like, hey, you got me, I got you. Let's row.
So we was cool like that, you know what I'm saying.
We kind of had that unspoken thing of listen, I
know you're a wild card, but I'm accept you just
(11:52):
have my back, Like I fox with you just having
my back. I got you. Let's take do you think
part of it was because of that day one when
you jumped in the pool naked. Do you think that? I?
I mean, I did see that interview. I did see
that interview. Because I've seen it. It's safe. You have
(12:14):
to interview her. You have to interview her. You know
what I'm saying. I don't know. I can't say you
got an interview. Oh shit, I respect that. I just
know I had her back. She had my back. Yeah. Well,
speaking about diving, Speaking about diving into the pool, you
had this challenge, Diving Conquer. You weren't nude for it,
so you could focus solely on the mission at hand.
(12:37):
What was your state? What was your strategy working with
Aanna during this this challenge? So she gave me a
great idea. So it's funny, she ga, it's so crazy.
She gave me a great idea and she didn't use
your idea. Check so quick we checked the first who
was done? So quick? We did it? So there were
six rows we didn't in three trips. The first time.
(12:58):
He was like, check, she's that making a song? Making
a song. I was like, oh yeah, So I'm in.
So I'm running and I'm like blue, yellow, purple, green, red, yellow, purple,
yo blue, red purple, green, red, yellow, purple. I was
just singing in my head, you know. Yeah, so she
she didn't do it. She didn't making this song. She's
like octopus carried. I'm like, what the fuck is you
(13:19):
talking about? I I was want to be singing our
songs together. What the fuck is you talking about right now? Like?
Did you get it? Like it worked for me? Like
it was great, Like I remember, it's the whole Like
like I said, we did the uh I think the
first time we did it in three trips because wait, one, two, three? Yeah,
so I remember I did half to roll the first time,
(13:40):
half throw the second time that we both had took
a role, so there were six roles. So however many
roles it took us like where it was, we got
it done like so quick. You know what I'm saying.
I can't do the math right now. I'm a little
faded a lot on this cocktail um. But we didn't.
But we checked and I'm just like, so we had
to keep going back. But what we didn't do was
just we had do to go back and just re
(14:01):
check our work and come back and do it again.
But we just kept doing some old crazy shit. I
don't know, but yeah, we checked so quick. I thought
we won that one. I thought we had that. But whatever,
even if even if you didn't have a good strategy
in the in the actual challenge, the strategy of telling
Ayana to like, hey, listen, we're at this celiberation. Obviously
this like Greek salad situation happened. Maybe Salate went out
(14:23):
salidgate right, Like, you go into that, that's just fire.
So saligate happens and you tell her like, hey, listen,
maybe just take take a back seat real quick. What
was that like? Were you like nervous in that deliberation
that something was going to go terribly wrong? I was,
because I'm like, I was okay. So little Bertie, Little
Bertie told me to me and Yanna was straight at
(14:45):
the party, told me, hey, you and your girl y'all straight.
All y'all gotta do was just motherfucking yes me straight.
I say, it's cool, shut chill, all right, all right,
So I go to the party. I talked a little
Bertie again. Little Bertie's like, I don't know, there's two people,
but I gotta I don't really, you know, I don't
know what's going on, so you might have to go
(15:06):
do that's a cool little problem. So I'm at the
party and I go on a politics. I'm trying to
damn to do everything except subdict to make sure we
don't go in. You know what I'm saying. I'm just
like poling me, you know what I'm saying. And then
she's like to me, and Jana comes, She's like, what
you want, sad. Look, I'm trying to make sure we
don't go to this motherfucker's limination, I said, And I
(15:28):
and I don't really and I and I don't really
want to tell her everything, you know what I'm saying,
because it's getting little tippy. I just want to let
her know that, you know, little Bertie told me we're good.
So I go upstairs and I'm like, fuck this party,
we're good. I go, I start making me something to eat.
Then all of a sudden, it just goes down. Like
they didn't even show half the ship that goes down.
It was a whole blow up. It was like, I,
oh shit, what damn. Yeah, it was a whole salad. Yeah, yeah,
(15:57):
the salid. She didn't know, she didn't not that salad.
I'm not saying this salad you can. That was Oh
(16:25):
my god. I have to give it to Iana though,
because the moment she was at the deliveration, she started
licking her fingers. I felt bad for Jody, you know,
like food does mean something in the challenge house. I
get that, you know, but she starts licking her fingers
talking about she imagined she was eating it on a
date with a guy. I thought it was incredible. I'm like,
I love Jody, but I'm like, this is entertaining. This
(16:45):
is super entertaining. I mean, she's there for a reason,
and I bring Ianna brings that star power of like
I made love to that salad. That salad was everything.
So if my god, It's like Jody was like I
was a little creeped out. I was like, I was
(17:05):
creeped out. I was like, oh shit, what the fuck
is going on? Like this imagined me said, so I didn't.
I'm a speechless She didn't say that that first I
did saying that I hadn't un to say. I was speechless.
I was like, what the fuck am I I was like,
I don't have any I don't know what to say
to them. I don't know what to say to her.
I just say right now, so I'll put my head down.
I was just like, I don't know what the fuck
to do. Yeah, oh my god, Yeah, I mean, I
(17:26):
can't believe how much drama it's starting to happen. Like
you could see at the beginning of the season there
was it started off pretty drama full, but now it's
really getting to the end. Do you think that living
with everybody, it was just getting to that point where
every little thing somebody did was just starting to bother
people because you guys have been in the game for
a while now, well, I don't think. I think it's
just the money, you know what I'm saying. You starting
(17:46):
to get to the five hundred thousand dollars. So I
think you want any any any advantage you can against
your opponent or against your you know, competitors. So whether
it's eating their salad and hopefully getting them maybe possibly
off their game, or you know, you don't know, maybe
a punch at you. I don't know what she was doing,
you know. And that's one thing about it, Yannest. She's
like crazy, It's like a fox. So at that time
(18:07):
I didn't know how to feel because I'm like, I know, again,
I know she's smart, you know what I'm saying. So
I'm like, she can't be doing something this dumb because
we can't we have another elimination, and that's putting us
let's putting a target on our back. So I'm just like,
I'm just gonna shut the fuck up and see what
the fuck happened. Were you relieved that you didn't have
(18:31):
to go into that elimination or more sad that it
was King's Palace versus King's Palace? Yeah, it's more sad
it was King's Palace versus King's Palace. Again, I really
wanted to win that elimination, you know. You know that
it was one of those that there were two that
I felt I had to get a chance to win
it this time. The one was the trampoline. Excuse me,
(18:51):
I was jamming on the time on a trampoline, but
again I needed, like I need a game like fifteen
pounds because once I hit it, like I hit it
and it didn't fall all the way, so I had
to go back up a trampoline and do it again
that constant time, you know what I mean. Had I
have about ten fifteen pounds on me, I'd have knocked
it out, and then once I got it down, I
saw to rest on some fifth grade math and like
I never had to write down anything in math, you know.
(19:12):
I mean, so it's like I should have won. I
had a good chance that one, that one up, and
then this one with that Yana and I when we
checked first, I felt like he had a good chance
at this one, and we fucked that up. So I
was mad at myself because I was like, damn, this
is like something like I want to pull my weight.
I've been holding my old weight on myself, but I
want to pull away for the team, you know. So
I was just more and more more upset that that
(19:33):
the King's Palace had to go in and we had
a chance to win, and we did. So that's what
I look to say that totally. Yeah, I get it.
I get it. There are always those moments. Do you
think you would have done well in this particular elimination? Yeah,
I mean this was one. This was anybody's elimination, you
know what I mean. I'm always I'm always confident about
my eliminations. It's just about me. It's always I don't
(19:56):
want to get hurt. That's the only thing I fear
of about eliminations. You know what I'm saying, get hurt.
That's just it. Other than that, like, I'm always confident
about them nations because again, it's just gym class, it's dodgeball,
it's volleyball. You know, it's four square, you know what
I mean. We're just playing and the ball the balls
just on fire this time. You know what I mean.
We're playing chick Tectoe with the fall balls on fire.
(20:16):
So let's go right, right, last week you were almost
in elimination, right, and they got sent home. So what
was that like having that moment? That moment was crazy.
Let me say why that moment was crazy. I'm in
the room with Nia Maya, right, and he's getting dressed.
(20:38):
He's standing in front of the mirror and he's doing
his Niar Maya thing. He's like, man, I feel like
Tea's gonna throw another monkey ranch in anything. I feel
like He's gonna be like, man, everybody down here, it's
safe from elimination tonight. And me, I'm like in my head,
I'm like shut yeah, all right, bro, all right, bro okay.
So I literally like I'm talking about we had the
(20:59):
whole conversation the camera might not be it was just
me and him, but like we had the whole conversation.
When we get to the fucking thing and it happened,
it blew my mind, you know. So that's why I
was just freaked out when I got down on it,
because I'm like, bro, you called this bro Like I
literally heard him call it, like I was there. I
was just like freaked out. I was like, man, the
(21:20):
guys are with us, the King's Palace ride, the King's
Palace is saved. So I started freaking me out about it. Yeah,
I was like, obviously it's super exciting for Casey. I
did feel bad for Khudah, but at the same time,
I've been a King's Palace fan because you guys are
bringing the energy to this, like this whole show. It's
like there, you guys are like solidifying this alliance. You're
bringing the energy. Everyone else is kind of scattering, like
(21:42):
oh damn, Like, well, they've drawn a line in the
sands and now we have to It made the show
so entertaining, So when you guys were saved, I was like, fuck, yeah,
the numbers are even like so hype about it, so
I can only imagine better then, like no, I'll just
I'll just go into this elimination. No right, we're trying
(22:03):
to save the palace right now. And if you got
this elimination, that would be great. Yeah. So what's so
what's next? Like everybody's back in. You guys are ready,
we have this elimination. Your friend goes home. So what's
(22:23):
the King's Palace gonna do? Now? I mean, we're gonna
save the palace, I mean, you know, like I said,
it's like, you know, we got the palace. We got
the east wing, the west wing, we got the middle right,
all right, and we still got the drawbridge. We got
the moat. Okay, so we pulled the drawbridge up. They're
(22:44):
trying to go through the moat and they got the
east wing is on fire, all right, But we still
got the middle and we still got the west wing.
You know, I mean they the drawbridges up. They haven't
got through the door yet, you know what I mean.
So we're still saving the palace. The palace. The palace
are still up, you know what I mean. We still
got right, you still got soldiers in the palace. You
still got the queen. Until they get the queen, it
ain't over, right, you guys got to say the queen, right,
(23:05):
they know how to quean it, so we're still good. Okay, Yeah,
kind of want to be a part of it. I
kind of want to start my own like palace gang

killed game. I love him for that. Um And I
(25:33):
gotta also shout out de Rail because he's like a
multi champion, you know what I'm saying. So like me
going against de Rail, it's like like I actually like
when I'm against like in uh MJ's a winner, Derek's
a winner. So like going against those guys like stuff
like that when I'm in in the challenge, that just
gives me like a fucking thrill, you know what I'm saying,

Especially when I'm Pete. So I gotta put like my
mandrella up there because he's a multi multi, a multi
time champion. So uh yeah, shou out to those guys.
Those are the guys that I looked up to that
I kind of want to be competing with, competing against,
you know what I'm saying, because they're champions. I don't

I know Bananas, that's my guy, but I have never
(26:15):
you know, been on the show with him. Uh. I
just gotta speak on guys that I know. Um, yeah,
the greatest challenge for me was Challenge two thousand because
we got to jump out of the plane. You know
what I'm saying, landing on the target. You know what
I'm saying. I don't know about I mean the challenge
two thousands. I tell everybody right now, the Challenge two
thousand is what now is? Uh? The Amazing Race is
(26:36):
a Challenge two thousand on steroids. So the Amazing Race
took the Challenge two thousand formula. They took it over
sieves and asked that Amazing Race, that's what the challenge
too thout. So I like that we got to jump
out of the plane. And you asked me what was
my favorite challenge? My favorite challenge? Uh uh favorite challenge? Uh?
(27:01):
I really like I would like the trampoline. I really
like to trampoline. Yeah, I'm gonna say trampoline. Like I
was jamming on the trampoline. I was just like, yeah,
it was that was in my wheelhouse. It was like
you had to use your endurance on the trampoline. You
had to use your strength to get to get the
to get the chest down. You were That's what I'm saying.
(27:26):
So I like trampling, and you had to use your
brain to get the map. So the tripoline used everything
and use your physical and your mental. So trampoline, Yeah,
that was a cool one to watch. I think that
one would have been difficult. It looked like it was
harder to do than it was than you think it was.
It was, yeah, because you think, oh I could just
jump up and down. No no, no, So you start
(27:46):
bouncing and then you got to swam so and then
so when you get out the water, it ain't no ledge,
but you to put your foot up one so basically
you gotta do like one of these a push up
to get yourself off the water. About yeah the chess

(02:10):
break you know about you? I got you? What is

I feel like your experience on All Stars too a
short lived. I feel like that was a weird elimination.
I mean one, All Stars one, All Stars one, That's
what I meant, All Stars one time got cut short,
weird elimination. No one, no one wanted to see you go,
(02:33):
you know, and coming back on two, do you feel
like people are looking to you as like, you know,
the wiser one, because you've already experienced All Stars one. Yeah,
I don't know. I think I think they're taking me
as a real competitive time because I came to play
All Stars one. I wasn't there to play, like. I
volunteered day one because I could have went home one
(02:54):
day one. You know what I'm saying. It was all
about just let me get and get out, a lot
of stuff going on outside of the show, you know
what I'm saying. So I wanted to be there, but
it was better for me to leave, you know what
I mean. That's what I'm literally, literally, yeah, literally, I
didn't care if I fell left on day one, you
know what I mean. I didn't, but we did, thank you. Yeah,
(03:15):
a lot of people. I missed my long, strong hugs.
I missed funny lines. I mean, you could take any
insult and turn it into a joke. I love it.
We need more tech, I got screens. Well, well, I'm
happy that I'm happy that you guys, or that you're
in a position now to like actually, because it seems
like All Stars too, you want to be there, like yeah, yeah,
(03:36):
and you're giving us peeling back this layers. Yeah, I
had I had to come back approve because I actually
told him. I keep saying this. I told him so
after one I was like, this was cool. They're like
Brad and my my exit interview, Brawd was like, so
we call you back. You come home like, h no,
you know, t J gets hurt of something to you
need to feeling host call your boy. I got but
I was like, I'm good. You know. All a sudden,
I get the call from cast and think of Vegan.
(03:56):
She's like, hey, Tech, you want to run it back?
I'm like, hell no when we sign it up, so no,
And see when I got there, I'm like, okay, I
have no I have no outside forces. That's not keeping
me here this time. So I have no excuse for saying.
So now that I'm here, let me show y'all that
I can really play. You know what I'm saying. It
ain't about I'm gonna figure this shit out. You know
what I'm saying. This saying them but high school, grade school, uh,
(04:19):
gym class, this gym class. I was never picked lass
in gym class. You know what I'm saying. So let's
just take it back to gym class. All right, tech,
let's just smart figure it out, you know what I mean.
So I'm like, watch this, this is just gym class.
We'll take it back there. And I'm a stake and
and so far I've been doing all right, you know,
because I had something to prove it to myself and
to other people too. Yeah, and you not only came
(04:41):
to play, you started or somebody started this King's palace
and people want to know where it came from. And
you guys just are unstoppable right now. Thank you, oh man,
thank you for asking about the powder. So the palace
came uh okay, So you know last season it was
me and LT were in the room together already, right,
so I had him, so me and L two go
(05:03):
run that back because that's might be like the Yang
and the Yang. I keep him calm. He hyped me up, right,
so we ran. I had his shoes, got him a bed.
Nil Mina came in, got a bed. Milita came in
because you know she knows nil Mina gotta bean. Steve
came in. And we've just been clowning the whole time
in the room, right, and Nia Maya says something joking me.
I think he said something like probably talking to like
Janelle or or Joanna, or something about coming into the
(05:24):
room or something that's something about this is what it spells.
I think someone made a comedy by how good our
room smell? And Nil Maya says something about, yeah, because
you don't burn my instanse with you know, blah blah blah,
and we do our little clothes and shit, and and
if he says something like yeah, this is what it
spelled like, royalty, this is what it spelled like in
the King's Palace. And from there we just you know
(05:47):
what I'm saying, It was the whole song. I've heard
the whole song. Were releasing the song on Thursday. Yes,
so it just came for us just really clowned up
in the room, like really just being some cool casts clowning.
And then it just and then so the King's Palace
we got the sign. You know what I'm saying. It
was It was the three Kings, the Queen and the
King's hand for Steve. Yeah, yeah, that that didn't age well,
(06:14):
but I love that. You guys, Actually, what did you
like hop in the studio and actually record the song
physically after it was over? Oh yeah, oh, yeah, oh yeah,
so okay. So then so then that came about. Okay,
so it was um episode, not the one I just saw,
but the one right before, right when LT was like
going into the arena or something, and then he's like, yo,
we need to have a theme song. And then I
(06:34):
literally was looking out the window and then I was like,
that's like yeah, stay deep palace, Safe deep palace. We
were clowning. We were clowning like safe beep palace Safe. No,
it was it was we're in the room el he's
about the nation. I mean it was LT's about to
go into the nation or the pole wrestling one, right,
And I remember we were looking out the window and
(06:55):
were talking about like looking down on people, like just
looking down on them and they look up at us.
We're just talking shit, right, and lts like, Yo, we
need a theme song. So I churned around like say
the palace sat. So we were clowning, right, So you
know Brad the director, So we started doing our little
things and the bad directors started rapping with it. He
started rapping. I said, oh shit, rass started rapping, and
I got to write it goddamn song. So on the way,
(07:18):
so on the way to the elimination. We just can't
was like saying the Palace, Say the Palace, and because Joanna,
because Joanna was lt same Joe, Joe Joe, and that
was his song, right, So say the Palace kind of
came from that. And then uh, on the way to
the elemination, I had my book and I just wrote them.
I just wrote the song and he won and we
just busted out see and the Melinda's on it too. Yeah,
(07:40):
so long switch. So when we so we started singing
it so much. So I'm like, yo, y'all, we got
a song. I got a producer. Shots from man fingers.
He's like a multi platinum producer, shout out the things
he did, show the link, elbows up side to Yeah.
So that's my god, hollow him and I'm like, yo, bro,
(08:01):
I gotta do the song. He said, Man, it comes
to the studio. I got your Claire. So when they
came into La for the interviews, I said, Yo, we
got to hop in the studio. I grabbed everybody, took
to the studio real quick. We did the song. It
came out fire once againting shout out to the King's Palace,
my man fingers, that is so much fucking fun, dude.
Like that's one of the reasons why I love All
Stars so much. Like I'm obviously I've never been an
(08:22):
All Star and I'm not on that show, but watching it,
I'm like, you guys, like just there's a sense of
just just like vitality just pouring out of it. It
just seems fun. It is. That's what what That's what
h We definitely had, That's what you said. We're gonna
have it fun, you know what I'm saying. I was
telling us somebody another podcast. I mean, like, keep it real.
What we're doing is like we're going to Paradise to
play kids games and get paid. Let's keep it one hunting,
(08:44):
you know what I mean. So you know it's cheaper,
drama free, sucker free, you know what I'm saying. And
you know I'm having a good time. Yeah. Yeah, And
I'm gonna siting. I'm gonna make sure I'm sending I'll
send y'all the one because I want to make sure
you got the master one, the good ones. I must
send it to you. I think I have it. I
have it. Did definitely chat with me. It was really good.
Listen to whole I gotta I want to give you.
(09:04):
I'm gonna give you a good one. I think that
might have been the one that I'm not bad. I
gotta you know. It might have had all the touches
on it. You know, somebody touches on it. You know,
all of that spice. So you said that you walked
into the house with Liltarian shoes, right, and you know
you were like already walking in with your homie. Did
(09:25):
you have any other alliances, if you would even consider
that an alliance before you entered the game, or were
you kind of going into this season just being like
whatever unfolds unfolds. I was going into the game and
whatever unfolds unfolds. Uh uh yeah. Me and I guess
we had an alliance already because we were roommates from before.
(09:46):
So you know, that's my boy, you know what I mean.
So it's kind of like one of those natural alliances,
you know. So but everything, I was ready to play
the game, you know what I'm saying, and our alliance
just kind of came naturally. I think it was because
we were in the room and we just wanted to
have that organic feel of in the room. You want
to sleep comfortab you know, what I mean, it's different energy.
If you're like in the ruin somebody and you kind
of even be like, man, this motherfucker guy and mine
(10:06):
put me in. You know what I'm saying. It's like
a different energy, you know what I'm saying. So our
our alliance came organically from just then energy of the room,
like hey, like you know the old under arm or
commercial we must protect this house, you know. So that's
kind of what where our mantra came. Our mindset was,
you know. So we use that mantra and just we
roll with that mantra. We must protect this house, save
(10:27):
the palace. Was there a mantra for um for Yanna
because you got to work with her and the right
bounce each other out, something you would say to her
to calm her down before things, or like because I
feel like you guys both have these big personalities. And
that's what it was. That's what it was. We both
to we both album office, you know what I'm saying.
(10:47):
You know, I mean she both admitted she's an alpha
female and I'm an alpha male, you know what I'm saying.
So it's just about about not even an ego, just
we're both smart what's wrong. We're both smart and I
don't want to say that not cocky, but like, um,
we both think, we both have our thinking is it's different.
Let me say that. So let me say it in
a different way. We don't have this kind of like
(11:08):
critical thinking or thinking very different, you know what I'm saying.
So the way we in our car process. Yeah, yeah
that's the way. Yeah, so thank you so. And and
it kind of like two big two big peaky whether
the peaky in the brain there's no peaky, there's just
two brains, you know. So so that that was our thing.
(11:30):
I let her door thing, she let me do it
my thing, you know, and and good thing. I had
a Yana because I came back. I was like, oh shit,
that's on that Oh we'stop. Yeah. I didn't tell everybody that,
you know what I'm saying, Like I nor, but I
was like, hey, you got me, I got you. Let's row.
So we was cool like that, you know what I'm saying.
We kind of had that unspoken thing of listen, I
know you're a wild card, but I'm accept you just
(11:52):
have my back, Like I fox with you just having
my back. I got you. Let's take do you think
part of it was because of that day one when
you jumped in the pool naked. Do you think that? I?
I mean, I did see that interview. I did see
that interview. Because I've seen it. It's safe. You have
(12:14):
to interview her. You have to interview her. You know
what I'm saying. I don't know. I can't say you
got an interview. Oh shit, I respect that. I just
know I had her back. She had my back. Yeah. Well,
speaking about diving, Speaking about diving into the pool, you
had this challenge, Diving Conquer. You weren't nude for it,
so you could focus solely on the mission at hand.
(12:37):
What was your state? What was your strategy working with
Aanna during this this challenge? So she gave me a
great idea. So it's funny, she ga, it's so crazy.
She gave me a great idea and she didn't use
your idea. Check so quick we checked the first who
was done? So quick? We did it? So there were
six rows we didn't in three trips. The first time.
(12:58):
He was like, check, she's that making a song? Making
a song. I was like, oh yeah, So I'm in.
So I'm running and I'm like blue, yellow, purple, green, red, yellow, purple,
yo blue, red purple, green, red, yellow, purple. I was
just singing in my head, you know. Yeah, so she
she didn't do it. She didn't making this song. She's
like octopus carried. I'm like, what the fuck is you
(13:19):
talking about? I I was want to be singing our
songs together. What the fuck is you talking about right now? Like?
Did you get it? Like it worked for me? Like
it was great, Like I remember, it's the whole Like
like I said, we did the uh I think the
first time we did it in three trips because wait, one, two, three? Yeah,
so I remember I did half to roll the first time,
(13:40):
half throw the second time that we both had took
a role, so there were six roles. So however many
roles it took us like where it was, we got
it done like so quick. You know what I'm saying.
I can't do the math right now. I'm a little
faded a lot on this cocktail um. But we didn't.
But we checked and I'm just like, so we had
to keep going back. But what we didn't do was
just we had do to go back and just re
(14:01):
check our work and come back and do it again.
But we just kept doing some old crazy shit. I
don't know, but yeah, we checked so quick. I thought
we won that one. I thought we had that. But whatever,
even if even if you didn't have a good strategy
in the in the actual challenge, the strategy of telling
Ayana to like, hey, listen, we're at this celiberation. Obviously
this like Greek salad situation happened. Maybe Salate went out
(14:23):
salidgate right, Like, you go into that, that's just fire.
So saligate happens and you tell her like, hey, listen,
maybe just take take a back seat real quick. What
was that like? Were you like nervous in that deliberation
that something was going to go terribly wrong? I was,
because I'm like, I was okay. So little Bertie, Little
Bertie told me to me and Yanna was straight at
(14:45):
the party, told me, hey, you and your girl y'all straight.
All y'all gotta do was just motherfucking yes me straight.
I say, it's cool, shut chill, all right, all right,
So I go to the party. I talked a little
Bertie again. Little Bertie's like, I don't know, there's two people,
but I gotta I don't really, you know, I don't
know what's going on, so you might have to go
(15:06):
do that's a cool little problem. So I'm at the
party and I go on a politics. I'm trying to
damn to do everything except subdict to make sure we
don't go in. You know what I'm saying. I'm just
like poling me, you know what I'm saying. And then
she's like to me, and Jana comes, She's like, what
you want, sad. Look, I'm trying to make sure we
don't go to this motherfucker's limination, I said, And I
(15:28):
and I don't really and I and I don't really
want to tell her everything, you know what I'm saying,
because it's getting little tippy. I just want to let
her know that, you know, little Bertie told me we're good.
So I go upstairs and I'm like, fuck this party,
we're good. I go, I start making me something to eat.
Then all of a sudden, it just goes down. Like
they didn't even show half the ship that goes down.
It was a whole blow up. It was like, I,
oh shit, what damn. Yeah, it was a whole salad. Yeah, yeah,
(15:57):
the salid. She didn't know, she didn't not that salad.
I'm not saying this salad you can. That was Oh
(16:25):
my god. I have to give it to Iana though,
because the moment she was at the deliveration, she started
licking her fingers. I felt bad for Jody, you know,
like food does mean something in the challenge house. I
get that, you know, but she starts licking her fingers
talking about she imagined she was eating it on a
date with a guy. I thought it was incredible. I'm like,
I love Jody, but I'm like, this is entertaining. This
(16:45):
is super entertaining. I mean, she's there for a reason,
and I bring Ianna brings that star power of like
I made love to that salad. That salad was everything.
So if my god, It's like Jody was like I
was a little creeped out. I was like, I was
(17:05):
creeped out. I was like, oh shit, what the fuck
is going on? Like this imagined me said, so I didn't.
I'm a speechless She didn't say that that first I
did saying that I hadn't un to say. I was speechless.
I was like, what the fuck am I I was like,
I don't have any I don't know what to say
to them. I don't know what to say to her.
I just say right now, so I'll put my head down.
I was just like, I don't know what the fuck
to do. Yeah, oh my god, Yeah, I mean, I
(17:26):
can't believe how much drama it's starting to happen. Like
you could see at the beginning of the season there
was it started off pretty drama full, but now it's
really getting to the end. Do you think that living
with everybody, it was just getting to that point where
every little thing somebody did was just starting to bother
people because you guys have been in the game for
a while now, well, I don't think. I think it's
just the money, you know what I'm saying. You starting
(17:46):
to get to the five hundred thousand dollars. So I
think you want any any any advantage you can against
your opponent or against your you know, competitors. So whether
it's eating their salad and hopefully getting them maybe possibly
off their game, or you know, you don't know, maybe
a punch at you. I don't know what she was doing,
you know. And that's one thing about it, Yannest. She's
like crazy, It's like a fox. So at that time
(18:07):
I didn't know how to feel because I'm like, I know, again,
I know she's smart, you know what I'm saying. So
I'm like, she can't be doing something this dumb because
we can't we have another elimination, and that's putting us
let's putting a target on our back. So I'm just like,
I'm just gonna shut the fuck up and see what
the fuck happened. Were you relieved that you didn't have
(18:31):
to go into that elimination or more sad that it
was King's Palace versus King's Palace? Yeah, it's more sad
it was King's Palace versus King's Palace. Again, I really
wanted to win that elimination, you know. You know that
it was one of those that there were two that
I felt I had to get a chance to win
it this time. The one was the trampoline. Excuse me,
(18:51):
I was jamming on the time on a trampoline, but
again I needed, like I need a game like fifteen
pounds because once I hit it, like I hit it
and it didn't fall all the way, so I had
to go back up a trampoline and do it again
that constant time, you know what I mean. Had I
have about ten fifteen pounds on me, I'd have knocked
it out, and then once I got it down, I
saw to rest on some fifth grade math and like
I never had to write down anything in math, you know.
(19:12):
I mean, so it's like I should have won. I
had a good chance that one, that one up, and
then this one with that Yana and I when we
checked first, I felt like he had a good chance
at this one, and we fucked that up. So I
was mad at myself because I was like, damn, this
is like something like I want to pull my weight.
I've been holding my old weight on myself, but I
want to pull away for the team, you know. So
I was just more and more more upset that that
(19:33):
the King's Palace had to go in and we had
a chance to win, and we did. So that's what
I look to say that totally. Yeah, I get it.
I get it. There are always those moments. Do you
think you would have done well in this particular elimination? Yeah,
I mean this was one. This was anybody's elimination, you
know what I mean. I'm always I'm always confident about
my eliminations. It's just about me. It's always I don't
(19:56):
want to get hurt. That's the only thing I fear
of about eliminations. You know what I'm saying, get hurt.
That's just it. Other than that, like, I'm always confident
about them nations because again, it's just gym class, it's dodgeball,
it's volleyball. You know, it's four square, you know what
I mean. We're just playing and the ball the balls
just on fire this time. You know what I mean.
We're playing chick Tectoe with the fall balls on fire.
(20:16):
So let's go right, right, last week you were almost
in elimination, right, and they got sent home. So what
was that like having that moment? That moment was crazy.
Let me say why that moment was crazy. I'm in
the room with Nia Maya, right, and he's getting dressed.
(20:38):
He's standing in front of the mirror and he's doing
his Niar Maya thing. He's like, man, I feel like
Tea's gonna throw another monkey ranch in anything. I feel
like He's gonna be like, man, everybody down here, it's
safe from elimination tonight. And me, I'm like in my head,
I'm like shut yeah, all right, bro, all right, bro okay.
So I literally like I'm talking about we had the
(20:59):
whole conversation the camera might not be it was just
me and him, but like we had the whole conversation.
When we get to the fucking thing and it happened,
it blew my mind, you know. So that's why I
was just freaked out when I got down on it,
because I'm like, bro, you called this bro Like I
literally heard him call it, like I was there. I
was just like freaked out. I was like, man, the
(21:20):
guys are with us, the King's Palace ride, the King's
Palace is saved. So I started freaking me out about it. Yeah,
I was like, obviously it's super exciting for Casey. I
did feel bad for Khudah, but at the same time,
I've been a King's Palace fan because you guys are
bringing the energy to this, like this whole show. It's
like there, you guys are like solidifying this alliance. You're
bringing the energy. Everyone else is kind of scattering, like
(21:42):
oh damn, Like, well, they've drawn a line in the
sands and now we have to It made the show
so entertaining, So when you guys were saved, I was like, fuck, yeah,
the numbers are even like so hype about it, so
I can only imagine better then, like no, I'll just
I'll just go into this elimination. No right, we're trying
(22:03):
to save the palace right now. And if you got
this elimination, that would be great. Yeah. So what's so
what's next? Like everybody's back in. You guys are ready,
we have this elimination. Your friend goes home. So what's
(22:23):
the King's Palace gonna do? Now? I mean, we're gonna
save the palace, I mean, you know, like I said,
it's like, you know, we got the palace. We got
the east wing, the west wing, we got the middle right,
all right, and we still got the drawbridge. We got
the moat. Okay, so we pulled the drawbridge up. They're
(22:44):
trying to go through the moat and they got the
east wing is on fire, all right, But we still
got the middle and we still got the west wing.
You know, I mean they the drawbridges up. They haven't
got through the door yet, you know what I mean.
So we're still saving the palace. The palace. The palace
are still up, you know what I mean. We still
got right, you still got soldiers in the palace. You
still got the queen. Until they get the queen, it
ain't over, right, you guys got to say the queen, right,
(23:05):
they know how to quean it, so we're still good. Okay, Yeah,
kind of want to be a part of it. I
kind of want to start my own like palace gang
over here where we just like uplift each other. And
Essa was saying, you guys have King's Palace, we'll have

the greatest challenge for me was Challenge two thousand because
we got to jump out of the plane. You know
what I'm saying, landing on the target. You know what
I'm saying. I don't know about I mean the challenge
two thousands. I tell everybody right now, the Challenge two
thousand is what now is? Uh? The Amazing Race is
(26:36):
a Challenge two thousand on steroids. So the Amazing Race
took the Challenge two thousand formula. They took it over

you had to use your endurance on the trampoline. You
had to use your strength to get to get the
to get the chest down. You were That's what I'm saying.
(27:26):
So I like trampling, and you had to use your
brain to get the map. So the tripoline used everything
and use your physical and your mental. So trampoline, Yeah,
that was a cool one to watch. I think that
one would have been difficult. It looked like it was
harder to do than it was than you think it was.
It was, yeah, because you think, oh I could just
jump up and down. No no, no, So you start
(27:46):
bouncing and then you got to swam so and then
so when you get out the water, it ain't no ledge,
