Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome I punishment. What am I doing here?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
You are finishing out the bonu? Because look, guys, we
got away from it. I felt like we kind of
we peaked when when I had Mary read it, and
so we didn't do it for a little while. But
I was like, you know what, it's not fair that.
I mean, just because Mary came in and killed it
doesn't mean Brand's off the hook. So we had to
do a whole episode a mini pod just so Brand

(00:30):
could read.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
There's nothing many about this pod. This is so many words.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
This is the final five to six minutes of bonu
because Mary did Mermaid Dragon. You know. Then we pause
it for a little bit, but it's time. Brand lost
his final player with Shaheen, and now he has to
do this.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Yeah, how about I read something then we could talk
a little. Yeah, yeah, sure, I need a break. I
need to break it up. All right, Here we go.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
I broke it up a little for you.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, I see that. That's a really really good time. However,
what if the girls come up with that idea? Last night,
the girls came up with the fake community idol thing.
So what they're trying to do is I don't have
to play my shot in the dark so they can
vote me off.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
That's what they want.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Me to do, or Q is really he likes me.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
I don't know, how will I know.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
That's how smart these three are.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
They're very smart. Yeah, speaking of I think he's speaking
of Tiffany, Q and Kinsey.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah, very smart people, very smart people. When I prayed
this morning, I was given. I was giving gratitude and
I asked God to show me a sign that you exist,
that you're listening to me, and there you go the journey.
I'm hoping for a white rock because if I lose
my vote, I can't play the shot in the dark.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
So I want to play it.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Safe Tonight, Liz Ben and I we put our hands
in the bag and guess what, Eyed Drew Blue. I
need to win and advantage more than anybody. If I
can get an advantage, I can change the course of
the game.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
The tides can shift. I just need a blessing and
maybe this is it.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
I practice a lot of Survivor puzzles at home, but
in person, these puzzles are Ah.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
That was the season of all of them. Having practiced
Survivor puzzles ahead of time.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
We've practiced, you know, Carson, three D printer. They actually
they switched up the game because of three D printer. Carson.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, it makes sense. I always have an impact on
the game.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah, that's the only impact on them. Wow, that and
being annoying?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
What it so?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Because it sucks? I'm sorry, Carson.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
What sucks more?

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Carson to this?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Carson? Sorry, Carson. I don't know why am I saying sorry?
Now I'm backtracking. I don't know if Carolyn doesn't believe
it like you than you know, believe in yourself.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I couldn't complete the puzzle. I tried different variations, permutations,
but I just couldn't figure it out. I lost my vote,
I lost my advantage. I have nothing tonight. With no vote,
you cannot play the shot in the dark. So I'm
in a deep, deep, deep trouble. My game tonight rests

(03:24):
in cues able hands. How much he can do I
don't know, But I still believe in miracles.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
And then just jump right to that next one because
my prayer answers. I'm not going home tonight.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Can we talk about what the prayer was or how
it was answered quick before we move on. Randon had
to get medically evacuated because of a pinched nerve. I believe,
you know, without going back and watching the tape, that's
what I think happened. He slept wrong, had an issue
with his and Fan was like, thank you God, you

(04:02):
were listening to me. You ended someone else's journey so
I can stay.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
So funny.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Here I am saying my goodbyes, ready to go, and
look what happened, miracle. I've been praying all day and
guess what, I'm still in the game. Baby. This is
the first time I'm actually smiling and laughing. I shouldn't
have said that to them, but I said it in

(04:30):
good faith because I wanted to be honest with my tribe.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Talking about no vote. I believe he doesn't have a vote.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
I think it's that he told his whole tribe that
he gave the other tribe information about them the journey.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
That is what it was, because he got on his hand.
We need to do a whole table read of that journey. Yeah,
what if I got Liz to come on the show
and just reprise her role as herself. But yeah, he
was stelling everybody. Basically, he's talking about Kensey being a
mastermind and being manipulative, and then talking about Tiffany and
Q running the whole game, and.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Then he gets back and immediately tells his tribe that
he told the other tribes about He's like, yeah, I
shouldn't have done this, but I kind of told everybody everything,
and I don't.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Have a vote. The target on Kinsey was on and
we were going to tribal council. Everything was going to
go according to plan, and me just spilling everything out
of is sh I just messed up the whole game
for me yesterday. I really really screwed up, and I

(05:38):
don't know what to do now. So at the crack
of dawn, I said my Sanskrit sans. So at the
crack of the dawn, I said my Sanskrit mantras. I'm
praying and I just need a glimmer of hope. I

(05:58):
left the camp because Kenzy all of a sudden, she
just snapped at me. They're not respecting me. I'm so stupid.
I had so much power in the game. I'm the
puppet and they're the puppet masters. They're like, do this,
do that, do this, do that, and this is what
I get. I've seen all the seasons of Survivor as superfan,

(06:23):
but when it comes to social skills, it's still not
sinking in me. Everybody thinks I'm a dumb dumbo. Oh,
we need to teach him how to walk, how to talk,
so I.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Become a robot.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
So I'm no longer bonding.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
They're puppet tears and I'm a puppet.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
He was very much Bonnie the whole time.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
I don't know that.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Kensey came to me and said, I really apologize. I
feel better. You know what bygunes are by gones. I
can take some lessons. I know it's very important for
my game and everyone else's game. If so many people
are putting work into me, I need to put some
messert in it.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Wait, he's finally better now, he's not gonna spiral against Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
No, he's not being the robot that they turned him into,
back to being Bonu.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
That's right. All three of them are having a conversation.
Never once did they talk to me. Never once did
they include me in anything. You know who they're voting.
The one person who doesn't have a vote today me.
One thing is for sure, I am not going all day.
I find the immunity iel I can change the course

(07:46):
of the game the whiplash because they went from like before.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
The two paragraphs ago and so like this is horrible,
and then oh this is amazing, and uh, you know what,
I actually it's horrible. And no, I'm not going home.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
If I have to climb Mount Everest, I will do it.
God is listening today?

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Is today? You need to help me.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
I learned a lesson the hard way that five seconds
of my honesty ruined my game. That's how hard this
game is. And guess what I figured out. I'm such
an emotional person. I'm such a good person. I'm a
loyal person. I'm an honest person. And that's what my
journey has been. I am going home tonight. But you

(08:28):
know what, I'm going to tell my story because they
still don't know my story. It's not about the million dollars.
All I want to do is win one million hearts.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
And there's one last line.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
All the Bonders out there have faith, don't give up
on anything in life.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Dang, good job.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Brand. When you were the first person eliminated from the
draft last season and Pete said that you were gonna
have to do this, did you think it was gonna
be fun or did you think it was going to
be rough. I thought that it was, uh was gonna
be pretty darn rough. And now that you've gotten through

(09:19):
it and it's over, how was it?

Speaker 3 (09:22):
That was the best thing I've ever done.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
It was probably easier when you were doing like one
minute at a time, and then this marathon version of
it might have been a little tougher.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
It was a little tougher, but you know what, it's Uh,
it's great.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
I had a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
And you know what, I hope I lose next year.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Whoa, I get to do it all over again.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Whoa?

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Well, yeah, what is the punishment for forty nine? We're
gonna have someone read like someone's confessionals from forty.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Eight or I don't know, but I'd rather burn this
house down than lose. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
No, me too. Yeah, I'm not losing, guys. This is
my year. Yeah it could. I think it very well.
I've learned a lot last year.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah, I felt like I didn't draft a well rounded
enough team. And okay, so I don't actually need it
from you, right right, right right, I don't need like
the like, this isn't where I need the affirmation and
so garbage team.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Really, I mean you picked three people on the same tribe.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
I mean, Shaheen it was fine, Shaheen was good and
then and then I fild.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
But but you're right, I should have diversified. I should
have diversified in in team. I should have diversified in gender. Yep,
yeap PD did all female. Well didn't work out for
the win, but it did get him to the end game.
So yeah, I learned a lot, and I'm h I'm
excited to go into the next season in September and really, uh,

(10:44):
take what I learned and win the season.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
I think. I think you can do it because here's
the thing. If you win forty nine going into fifty,
everyone will have won a season.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
That's true except Jonathan Well, right, yeah, Jonathan, it was
a COVID year.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
When do you want COVID victory last season?

Speaker 3 (11:06):
You know?

Speaker 2 (11:06):
And I just want to say anything during the draft,
but I was like brand, he's very clearly news, he's
learning the game. He's making some decisions that I'm happy
that he made because then I could get more players
that I want. But I feel like, as we keep drafting,
you know, you're going to be a powerhouse by fifty.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
You know, what's my My biggest concern is, and I'll
be honest, I am watching a lot of Survivor and
sometimes that can mess with you.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yes, it can.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
It can mess with you. If I'm I'm watching a
lot of old Ara Survivor, that could mess with me.
There's a lot of there's I gotta I gotta do
my homework. I gotta just really put my head down
and put in the work. And I'm gonna do that.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah here, I mean I notoriously suck at drafting. Yeah
we know. And this you know, PD says that when
you drafted, he was like, Yeaike, Brand's making a lot
of bad decisions. I think I'm on the record of
that episode being like, I think Brand has the best team.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
And then me and Jonathan were both like, man, we
did the best. We're going to be there at the end,
you guys, And we were right. I gotta get better
at here.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
But let me ask you, PD, like, what was it
about Camilla? And this is a really weird time to
be doing this, to be revisiting what was it about
Camilla in episode one that or episode one and two
that spoke to you?

Speaker 2 (12:22):
It was the charisma, but like that she wasn't so
outwardly charismatic to everybody. It was more of like charisma
to the cameraman. That's what I picked up on, and
her articulating her strategy.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Well, I I for forty nine. I would love the
opportunity to draft not last to the wheel because I
would love to be able to figure out, like, hey,
have I been doing bad in the drafts because I'm
always drafting last? Or am I just bad at drafting?

(12:55):
Because I also, like, I can't remember what it was
forty seven, all of the play years that I wanted
that I couldn't get because I got taken before I
want ended up being the final three. So I don't
know if it's just because I always draft last about
because I suck?

Speaker 3 (13:08):
How about I make this promise to you right now
if if the Wheel gives you the last spot, yeah,
I'll switch.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Well, no, because I want the last spot for fifty
oh no forty nine this coming in season. Wow, do
you want to return return?

Speaker 2 (13:25):
I mean, if it's a trade, I want to clean trade. Okay, Okay,
that's it. But that's just a trade that only benefits Chase.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
It doesn't benefit anybody.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, you're right, I don't think it matters.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
But what you're trying to say is you want me
to not draft last so I could prove that I
just suck it.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
I think I do suck a draft. It would be
beneficial for I, Like, it would be really good. I
kind of like this idea. I like, in this hypothetical
world where you defeat the odds once again and get
the last.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Slot, I'll switch. I'll switch as long as we get
the approval from board.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, of course, that's interesting. I was just seeing like
the franchise mode menu in my head of like, you know,
Chase receives the first pick and Brand receives nothing.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
I'll take I'll take cash considerations. Okay, Okay, I'll preface
it with this. Okay, I will do that unless I
have the number one overall pick.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
That's fine. That's why we don't have to do it
if I have two, or because I also love the
idea of me having a draft last every single year.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
It's a funny thing. Let's revisit it. We'll talk about
I don't want to I don't want to make any
rast decisions. We're speaking about drafts. We're talking about drafts
right now. Obviously everybody's talking about season fifty. Everyone's very
excited because season fifty is the first returning season in
a long time.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
We're gonna be able to draft it. That'll be the
first time that we all for our draft draft before
the season premieres. That's right. And I think we're gonna
try to do a little mock draft.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah, I want to get I want to get Taggie
on see if I can pull that off.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
And then, because I mean our criticisms for the season
fifty pot are fans criticisms of it. We're like, you
guys have not seen every minute of Survivor. You know
who has Tag, So we'll bring in Tag and then
people can't get mad at us.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yeah. I think that's a great idea. I would I
want to see what a Survivor statiician? Would you call her?
Someone an expert? Yeah, I would like to see who
she would draft in fifty in a draft like that,
because that might influence who I draft for fifty.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
But also there's gonna be some dynamics of like, you
don't want to put all your cards out on the
table for the mock draft because then somebody might take
your thing.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Because we also have an element to our draft. We
won't do this for the mock draft, but for the
season fifty draft, we're gonna do a thing where, uh,
for just round one of the draft, you get first
DIBs on any of your returning players.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
And because I am so good at picking compelling characters,
I have, yeah, a lot of choos from I have
a wealth.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Of riches, yeah, and I think I only have one.
The easy pick would be to pick D. You talk
about D other than anybody I ever match.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Yeah, and that Jam Jam is not in there.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
That's the obvious thing. The obvious thing would be PD's
gonna pick Pete talks about D.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
More than Kamela. That's true. Let me ask you this
because because they have leaked the two players from forty
nine that will be talked about fifty, it's interesting do
you think that you should draft for forty nine?

Speaker 2 (16:15):
So that's like a big question.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
The question you need to.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Ask yourself is they they had to know that the
two from forty nine would get leaked, right, and so
would they be dumb enough to pick two people, one
of them be the winner of forty nine before forty
nine even starts. Did they do that or did or

(16:42):
did they go let's pick two dynamic people one of us,
and neither of them have won.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
The fact that if you don't want to hear one
of the names, go ahead and hit the fast forward
button by fifteen seconds or whatever. The Rizzler God, risk God, Yeah,
the rizzler of a lot chatter about both riz Good
and the Wristler. To be honest with, Yeah, I would
find it hard to believe that riz God won the season.

(17:08):
But I bet he's a ton of fun all season long.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
But if I'm picking in the first two spots, I'm
going to be tempted to take at least one of
the returning players. What's what's the girl's name? Is it Stephanie?

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Something like that. Yeah, But here's the thing about people
named Stephanie. They typically always go home fifth and they
get isolated, and they get isolated and use the urstler.
Well that was that one season. But this I put
on all Stephanie curse in Survivors.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
True.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, it's like the car curse, Yeah, which they had
to get rid of the cars because it's such a
car people are overlooking forty nine. I'm excited, for very excited.
I really want another trophy.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
I'm also excited for the upcoming season of Survivor Ausraeli
Versus the World.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yes too, Yes whenever that airs. What kind of a
television network does not know when the show is is
really pissing me off. I don't blame you because people
are like, you know, when after Top Chef is over
whenever that is, it's like you don't know in Top
Chef who was in charge of scheduling over there and
down and then they fired Wolverine?

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, my man? Wait man? Which we uplay the season
whenever we feel like it.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
I it's like, you got this this guy who's jacked
and it looks like what you think a Survivor host
would look like.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Anybody's not Theri's goad. I won't the Rislas Australia figure
out your TV scheduling crazy, It's pretty crazy. I do
think a great YouTube video for the channel would be
we watch the most recent season of every different Survivor,
Survivor Australia, Survivor Poland Survivor Canada, all of them.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Dang, we'd have to I mean, unless there were subtitles,
we'd have to get some translations going, uh yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Mean that's in English. No, I think It's part of
the fun of it, is like, even even if we
don't know what's going on, we can still be.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Like, they're not all gonna do it for us.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
You're not gonna America maybe, I mean some will. Australia
is in English, yeah, the Canada will probably do it
in French.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
They spoke all like they were speaking Australian, but they're like,
we gotta speak English.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
They were like watching Crocodile Dundee and then they were like, actually,
can you do it in English? And they were like, uh,
the Traube is spoken crocodile shrimp on the Bobby. Guess
what that means in English? Tell me it means, uh,
bring on it, bringing on in guys. Ah, yeah, come on,

(19:36):
come on man. I do think that's a great YouTube
video breaking on it.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
The Google translator.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yeah we do.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
I think we did.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
People got more than a bargain for here. So here's
a little bit more of this.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
You're from the horns here they come, got I swear
they're coming.
