Speaker 1 (00:17):
Hey, everybody, Welcome back to Challenge podcast, all about the Challenge,
and welcome to the wasistline. For people that are watching live,
they will understand what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Or if you go to our Instagram or.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Our instagram for now as usual, I'm Brian sitting in
her home really worried about the super warm temperatures. It's
going to ruin the rest of her life for the
next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I think I'm probably the only one worried about the
warm temperatures. Carl and San Diego.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
And sitting at work, I don't know, also worried about
rising temperatures for Carlin's upcoming a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I think we all are yes, Zachu Banannas.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I know my mom's worried about too, because it's been
warm in Alaska and she does a lot of winter sports.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So yeah, I heard they are getting in any snow
in Alaska either.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
No, she she is sending me pictures there day just
from her office, and like it was just green and
dry as far as you can see.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, I saw a TikTok video. I don't know, like,
what was it a week ago when the South got
a bunch of snow, and it was spliced with someone
from Alaska saying, yeah, can you can? Can you return
that we're that's missing? Can you can you send that back? Please?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So, currently sitting on a plane regretting his life decisions
is Tim. So he's not here.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, we have been going back and forth quite a
bit today about the bullshit that's happening in the White
House from the Canton Lope man and the unfortunately completely
tragic and horrible airplane crash that happened last night.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
And Tim's flights were laid because Canada didn't want to
give them access to their airspace. Now because we're a
bullshit country. Hey, everybody had every challenge pot dot com.
Join the Facebook group. You can also join our patreon,
which I just realized I'm gonna have to pull up
and read later. Hey Carlon, do you want to tell
(02:29):
us about the first episode of All Stars Season five?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah? Aren't you guys excited that it's back?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I am, especially since it's a rival I.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Am kind of stoked on this Rivals things. It's making
me real happy. So before we get into the episode,
I just want to say I fucking hate how much
MTV and Paramount and whoever the fuck else it is.
It's how difficult they are making watching this season. Yeah,
it is insane. Agreed, Why why are they like they
(03:09):
don't have money anyway, and now they're like, oh my god,
it's so frustrating. There were I've been to so many
pages trying to figure out how I could watch it
this morning.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
And I know Wolfe disagrees with me, but I loved
this premiere except it was way too short.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I feel like we did not get.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Off perfect length perfect.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I was okay with the length. I just wish there
was an elimination.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I think that's a big part of why I was
okay with the length, because I was like, oh, it's
too short to get a full round in.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah. Yeah, Mandy said the Spectrum one't letter record it. Yeah,
I don't think anything is recording it. It looked like
there were a lot of people who were saying that
YouTube TV wasn't letting them record it, and maybe they
just missed it in time, but I don't know. It's
just fucking stupid. Like even even Exfinity on Demand was
saying that it was available to buy. You couldn't even
(03:57):
watch it on demand on your on your app.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
So I recorded it last night on my YouTube TV
profile and it was there last night when I got
home as well. Yeah, this morning, when you guys brought
it up, I went and looked and it was just gone?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Really?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I could still click the link to the show that
was recorded, but when I got there, just showed the
cast in and have the video of the they had
recorded the night prior.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
That's fucking stupid, weird. Well, luckily we have this lovely
show that Wolfe has unfortunately posted from Daddy Bezos can
watch it.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I didn't know you could buy it on Uh, it
was on Vodio, which is now Fandango at Home or whatever,
so I could have bought it there too, which would
have at least give him Fandango some money and not Amazon.
But what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, that's unfortunate. All right, Well, we'll go ahead and
kick off this episode All Star Rivals Episode one. I
did not write down the tide of the episode because
I didn't really care thing.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Something. Stars started arrival.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Oh god, all of these are gonna be puns with
stars and then marn't they probably all right? Well, so
we start off with a instead of a last week
on or What Up because we didn't have a last week.
We start off with a with a TJ voiceover and
all kinds of flashback videos from previous seasons of pairs
(05:27):
and of teams and all kinds of different videos from that,
and then we cut to everybody walking into the arena
for the first time, our very first For anyone who's
playing along at home and doing the fantasy league, which
you should all sign up for. You can still do
it even if you missed the first week. You might
(05:47):
be a week behind end points, but you never know.
You may come and kick everybody's ass you do for
the season.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I forgot, apparently to set my team, even though I'm
pretty sure I did so.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I'm in Like I said, reach out to Peter. He
might be able to that. Peter's the creator of the
website for anyone who missed it, but we'll see. Uh. So,
our our first talking head went to Frank uh someone
we haven't seen them really long time. Boo. I know
(06:24):
Zach Zach and chime in as well, but I was
kind of excited to see him. I wanted to see
if he'd grown any of it. He was still the
asshole that he used to be.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Agree.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
I found him so obnoxious, like back in you know,
the bowt of the Seasons and stuff. But this new
Frank that we've seen so far, I'm really enjoying him.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, you can tell that he has grown up a bit,
and I'm hoping they I'm hoping that that lasts. But yeah,
so we get We get a bunch of flashbacks to
Frank being addiction not addic shit, Frank being an asshole,
an absolute dick, to Sam all that sort of thing,
(07:06):
yelling at other people in the house, saying that you know,
he used to be an alpha, was insecure, all that
sort of thing, and then a quick life update for him.
Then we go on to Leroy. We hear a quick
clip from Leroy when they're all standing in the arena
talking about who all's there, saying that if Jordan walks in,
I quit.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Fair enough.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
We get some flashbacks if Nanni and Turbo. Uh, Turbo
seems real on this Nanni stabbed him in the back
and he doesn't want anything to do with her. Kick.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
We get lots of that this episode.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, lots of it. He seems very shut down in
relation to her.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
And think he's so sad because I loved Turbo in
his first season, like showing all the flash back and
how well they work together.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I'm like, man, where did that guy go? I love
that guy?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, Nanni and Turbo that for season he was on
We're Great TV. He was like him calling Nanny his
mom and like wanting to be her to be proud
of him, and.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
I was like, I don't want to win this for her,
Like I want her to be proud of me and
like me.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
And it's like yeah, And he was so much fun
to watch that season, Like he kicked ass. We all
understood why he won Survivor.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah. Nanny points out that when he came back the
second time, he seemed like a completely different person. Yeah,
which I completely agree with.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, I think everybody saw it.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
And unfortunately he won Survivor twice. He then he comes
wins the challenge, so I'm sure that definitely got to
his head and at that time he's like the sounds.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
From the sounds of things. He also almost won Survivor
Turkey a third time, but then like got sick or
something like that and had to leave.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
He got meta back to like the final five, but
he was like the odds on favorite to win it
a third time.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, so yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if that got
to his head. Then we get a talking head from Dario. Yeah, exactly,
sleepy Dario. He says that it looks like a nursing
home in there. There are people with white hair and
gray hair and all these things. And I'm like, dude,
(09:15):
you slept for like three quarters of all of your seasons.
We didn't know who the fuck you were. You were
just there in the background. What are you talking about.
On top of that, it's all stars. It's meant to
be the older players. Like, fuck off, Yeah, that's Pollay's
not an older player. Let's kind of slap in the
face of Dario is concidered an All star.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I know, right, and I know that we've always been
very loose with that term on the show.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
But still, yeah, we get smash Lely and I I
know that I shouldn't say this, but I'm gonna say
it anyway, but girl has gotten way too much filler.
She's she her face looks so different.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
It does.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
She's got like weird she's got a weird job. It
almost looks like she has jowls because of the filler
that she's got in her face, like she was so
pretty before. I mean, I guess if that's if that's
what she likes, then go for it. But I just
I not my preference. Beth is back. Of course, Sylvia
(10:20):
laughs at Beth being that, like the TJ says, Beth,
you're back, and Sylvia just laughs at it. Johnny is
very obviously pissed at Beth still for spreading and cheating
rumors the last season they were on, which should I'd
be pissed too, And then.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Are we thinking those rumors were true? Though?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
I I was like thinking, like, I don't know. But
then once once Johnny said, you know, we have to
go through a lot of marriage counseling, I was like,
if they're just fake rumors, like I don't know, I mean,
you could still be counseling for that, feel like.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Oh they have to work through infidelity issues.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yea later so yeah, later on when they were talking
about it and she mentioned the counseling, I my note
to that was that they didn't. The way that they
cut it was a little weird, and I think I've
just got my housewife's brain on me. I don't know
that she was saying that she's they were getting marriage
counseling because of the cheating rumors, or if they were
(11:22):
already in marriage counseling, and that just happened to add
on top of it, so like it wasn't super clear
with that, they cut it to make it look like
it was because of the cheating rumors. But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Caroline wants to know, And why haven't we seen him Jay?
Since then? Wasn't he on the next season?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
That was that?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So they won the season together? And then the next
season was the season that that they were both on.
That was the season that they were accused of cheating. Yes,
not the season that they were partners, but the season after.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I mean we you know that he and Landon were
best season. We know how Landing gets down?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, and I mean maybe AMJ just hasn't wanted to
come back.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Who knows it's possible.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, And then we get a quick like Steve picture
which Steve needs to grow the beard back.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
What happened to my boy Steve? He got fat?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
He lost his beard too, And I'm sorry, dude, he
does not look good clean shaven.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yeah, So I for the lessons.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
I took him with the number one draft pick for
our fantasy draft, and I was thinking of All Stars
for Steve and I was so excited.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
And then he showed up and I was like, what
have I done?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
All?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Then TJ shows up and tells them, Hey, so this
isn't just a normal All Stars season. This is All
Stars rivals. People are not happy, So we are going
to run through all of the teams because we didn't
have a preseason episode or show. Team number one. Steve
(13:08):
gets calmed down and then Adam gets called down with him,
and Adam is pissed. He's such a whiny little bit.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
You should call and apologize.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
I love that we got confessional Steve being like, yeah,
I don't regret it.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Good, I'm glad he doesn't regret it. He shouldn't regret it.
Adam treated him like ship that season, and yeah, there
are multiple times in this episode where Adam very obviously
thinks that he's top shit and he's hot shit and
he's the best part of that team, and that Steve
does nothing. Adam, you are you? You got your star
(13:50):
stolen because you didn't win that episode.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Yeah, if I remember Steve didn't understand how the stars
worked in the final if you had he beats Laurel.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, yeah, I just I. I started off liking Adam
when he first showed up. What was it last season?
I cannot fucking stand that feed. Now he's so frustrating
to watch same.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I was so excited to have him back last year
and then yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I was indifferent to having him back because I didn't
remember him. I know that Tim really hated him, but
I enjoyed watching him the first few episodes he was on.
I thought he was kind of fun, and then he
ended up downhill real fast.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
His road Roll season was the first road Roll season
I ever watched, So I watched because Katie was advertised.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I was like, oh, that girl's hot. So I was like, oh, Adam.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
I loved him like he was on my first season,
and yeah he's a douche.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Team number two we get Frank and Sam and they
actually seem okay about this pairing. They seem like they
may have mended fences over the course of the last
you know, fifteen odd years that they haven't been on
or ten odd years.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
They're probably fine, probably in that space where they're like,
we're good, but I know how this person gets when
the pressure comes on, and that's not the person I'm
looking forward to seeing. Yeah, so that's not surprising.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Yep, the next team I was gonna say, I hate to,
you know, be that person. But also talking to mom
to day, we were discussing Sam this season.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Is she the biggest person to.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Ever be on the challenge Big Easy? We think she
might be bigger than be Big Easy wasn't his height.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So I mean maybe she, but yeah, she so if
she is not the same body type that she was
the first time.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
She should up in the If I was in Frank's
position coming back for the first half years to compete,
I'd be like, you kind of like gun shape for this,
like not to be skinny, but like Sam looks like
she just shut up with no preparation.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Well, and I mean Frank is very obviously still very
very fit, so yes, I can understand him being a
bit frustrated and.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
A shocking because don't if you've seen more recent photos
of hand.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
But she's actually gotten semi jacked lately, so good for her.
I was expecting that on the show and then she
shows up, I'm like, Oh, where's all the muscles?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You have now.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I mean, honestly, it may have been a catalyst for her.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I hope, so hopefully we see her back again and
like much better shape.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
And speaking of body transformations, I didn't save it or
send it to anybody, but I saw some Challenge group
posted a picture of Nisa. Yeah, who posted three pictures
of herself. One was from right before season forty, the
other one was right after All Stars five, and then
(16:42):
she said the third one was taken like two days ago,
and she's lost a bunch of weight. It seems to
be getting in really good shape.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So good for her, Yeah, good for her.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Indeed, may come back and finally win one so I
can laugh in Tim's face.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
All right.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
So next team is Ashley and Dario, their exes. Dario
says that she's still hot. Later on in the episode,
we get her saying that Dario's still hot. There's obviously
they're obviously going to be trying to like tease out
tension between the two of them, Like I don't fucking care.
I really don't care. I think it's weird and awkward,
(17:25):
and yeah, I just.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
I mean, I don't know if you guys know this,
because I know I think you guys are big football fans.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I know Wolf he's not.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
But her ex husband and baby daddy is an NFL player,
former NFL player, So I'm like, Gorilla, you're gonna go
from that to Dario?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Oh, I know. It's just it's like girl, yes, one
down grade hm, no one needs sleepy Dario. Uh. And
then we get smash Lee and Anissa Uh. Anissa, neither
of them see super excited with this. Smash Lee says,
(18:02):
the TJ asks her how it feels to be paired
with a Nissa, and smash Lee says, not like a
million dollars, TJ, not like a million dollars. So I
don't think that Smashley's real thrilled with her team or
thinks that they can win, which when you start off
with that attitude, then you're definitely not going to So
(18:23):
I'm a little worried about Nissa this season.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Yeah h.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Then we get Kelly and and Sylvia, neither of them
seem super thrilled about this. Then we have Nicole and Melissa,
which the only reaction we got there was my girlfriend
is not going to be happy about this coming from
Peanut Butter and Nicole. Then it's Nanni and Turbo. What. Yeah,
(18:57):
Turbo is visibly not happy. Yeah, and Nanni's just like,
I don't care whatever.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, Turbo seems very upset because he is His initial
talking head said that he was only there to send
Nonnie home immediately, and now he's paired with her. M.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I mean he can still do it.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I can see being the type of person that would
get himself eliminated Justice Crew.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Nanni.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah, I mean if he keeps up with the attitude
that he's currently got. But I also don't know that
I see Turbo throwing a challenge like purposely losing.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Turbo has turned into bussy Chicken.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
And then we get by far and above, the most
awkward of pairings, Beth and John ay m. Yeah, Johnny,
It's just it's super awkward between the two of them.
Then we have Dave go On and Shane. Oh yeah,
we get Davon and Shane. Uh. Davon has in her
(20:09):
little talking head says that she has rededicated herself to God,
so there will be no cussing people out this season.
I really wonder how long that's gonna last.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Same year, so we'll see she.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Talks the way I kind of hate how born again
people talk. Yeah, I noticed a little bit, and friends
that become born again, and then it's just like, oh, God,
bless you, God bless you. I'm good. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
No, I don't, I don't. I don't here imaginary man.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
No, no, no, don't do that. She could be reading
her Bible the whole time. I don't know. Try not
to hate on. But this is why we're in this mess.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yes it is.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Well, if we're the Wetland, we get to go to
Panama much better than Illinois, and.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
We've got to take back at the canal. Somehow.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
That song came on when I was rollerblading around the
Viking Stadium a few weeks ago, and all I can
think was you and Tim just saying every time, every time.
All right. Next team is Amber and FESSI. Neither of
them look very happy about it. Then we've got Big
(21:42):
T and Corey. They seem to have kind of smooth things,
maybe a little bit, and it didn't seem like that
big of a deal. And then we've got Devin and
Leroy and Devon's talking head. Of course, Devan is talking
lots of shit, because that's what Devon does. He says,
this is LeRoy's fifteenth season and he has never won.
(22:03):
Leroy stabbing him in the back maybe the smartest move
that he has ever done. Because they are now paired together,
so Devin seems pretty confident that they're gonna win this season.
What do you guys think can he get Leroy his
first win?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Honestly, out of everybody there, it might be the best
person for him to team up with.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
And it's anating We fetaz that because I've seen a
lot of people online. The last point if iwers talk
about this cast was handpicked by production to roll out
a red carpet and cake walk Leroy to his first win.
Like this season was designed to give Leroy his win.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
All right, well here's hoping. So I don't mean I
would really I would really appreciate seeing Leroy win.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Just get it over with alrighty, you know it's been.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
So fucking long. Come on, none of the big players
are there, Like, come on, dude, you can do this.
And then we get our final pairing. But oh wait uh,
there's only one person left. It's just miss Katie standing
up there all by her lonesome.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Or friend of the show Katie we met, Yeah, friend
of the show.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I started laughing when I saw her standing up there
by herself because I was like, oh God, the last
time I saw you, you were so drunk.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yes, very very drunk.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
That little and she's so tiny too, very I did
not realize quite how tiny she was. She's so tiny. So, yeah,
her partner isn't there yet, and TJ won't tell her
who it is.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Didn't he say that they were so scared to show up.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah, and of course Katie does her thing of like, well,
I pissed a lot of people off, so we could
be just about anybody.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
So Davon did a video podcast after episode, and she
said the entire cast knew Veronica was coming, and apparently
that Veronica like just was able to make it that day.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
She had delay, and so they gave her the Jordan treatment,
which shocked me because I.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Understand why you like, wait for Jordan, I don't understand
why you wait for Veronica.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, that's kind of surprising. I feel like they would
only do that if like a flight got canceled or
you know, something about sort of something that was out
of their control. So that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
But yeah, she said while they were at the hotel
before filming started, like they all knew Veronica was coming late.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
At least she didn't miss anything important because didn't Jordan
this like a whole challenge?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Did he?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
He might have?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah, yeah, he was gone for like a whole a
whole thing. I do have to say, I have to,
I have to point this out because I think this
is really spectacular and way overdue. I'm absolutely loving the
queer representation on this show. There are are two full
partnerships of queer people, and there are at least five
(25:04):
teams that we know of with at least one queer partner.
I think it's so fantastic that there are so many
people representing the LGBTQ community. I think it's absolutely amazing,
really really love.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
That kind of thing. Man, we have Frank and Sam.
Who's the other pair?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
That's Frank and Sam? And then who was I looking at?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
A big Team Corey.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
That's right, Frank and Sam and Big Team Corey are
the two.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Full yep, Melissa Melissa's believe.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Does Melissa actually identify as by I believe so, but
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I wasn't sure on that we might have we might
have a third, but you have at least one person
from their team.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I don't think she makes a big deal about it. Yeah,
so it's not like a thing.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, so well it was. It was their team Anissan, Smashley,
Nanny and Turbo, Davon and Shane, Katie and Veronica. So
there's our our five that at least have one player.
Potentially there may actually be more people on this cast,
(26:13):
but it's just it's I think it's really spectacular. Yeah,
way overdue.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
It was very cringe inducing to learn to hear Nannie
talking about her and Casey wanting to get married.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Oh yeah, considering they just broke up.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Recently, yeah, like two days ago.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah, she was talking about they're planning a wedding, and.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
That breakup was my one piece of social media for
the week. So we're done with social media. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
So if anybody doesn't know and Casey are no longer together.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Because I followed Casey on Instagram and I saw her
like thanking the moving company for opener get it to
her new place, and I'm just.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Like, yeah, I mean, hopefully there's no like scandal there
and it just they grew apart. I hope for both
of their sakes that it's that that's what it is,
and that it's not some absolutely devastating reason. Yeah, but
we don't know. So then t and TJ tells them
(27:22):
you were all locked into these partnerships, win, lose all
of it, you go home together, and that the prize
pot is three hundred thousand dollars, which seems a little.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Small, but whatever, it's on all stars, Yeah, try to
these out super quick.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Yep, all right, back to the house. Did anyone else
find it a little strange that all the rivals were
bunking together rather than splitting up and bunking wherever they wanted.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Well, I believe TJ told them, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
But I just kind of he said, he mentioned that,
but I didn't think it was like a they actually
had to bunks together.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It seems like.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
That's weird too, because I was like, I'd want my
partner to be in a different room than me, so
we could like you know, get information from you know,
multiple rooms, but.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
We'll get information. But also like if you need some space,
then you guys have the ability to go to your
own separate rooms. And I had like when they were
picking out all the bunks, I bet you that's why
they did this, because it's just going to heighten all
the drama.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Yeah, my fourth people dig in to show mancas because
they're like, well, I could go sleep in this person's
bed then and get away from my partners.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah there's that.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
We very quickly get Devon coining the term the name
Devroy for his team.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Which.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Of course you did. We'll see how how well that
catches on. We get a quick snap uh app of
Nicole's girlfriend back home because Nicole's talking about how she's
in a relationship. Did anyone else think that Nicole's girlfriend,
her current girlfriend, kind of had a little bit of
(29:10):
a Laurel look to her or was that just me?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I did not notice that while watching it, but while
looking up social media news, I saw a lot of
people commenting that, So I was like, I have to
go back and look.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
It was like a I mean, it was it was slight,
and it was I think it was kind of like
the the initial angle and maybe she doesn't look that
much like her, but it kind of she kind of
looked a little bit like Laurel to me. It was
a little weird. But she gets brought up because Nicole
is now partners and rooming with Melissa, who we know
(29:44):
they had a thing back in the day, and she quote,
she says, they.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Showed that footage and I'm like, I don't remember that
at all.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
You don't remember. Will you pleasure me and I'll pleasure you?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
How is that what that's from?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yeah? Yeah, you pleasure me and I'll do the same.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
You pleasure me and will do the same.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah. So we get all this because Nicole says, if
you're going to put me, put a blonde bombshell in
a room with me, something's gonna happen. Oh good lord,
you are still the same fuck boy that you were
every other time you've been on this show.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Right, can you imagine mee and your girlfriend like seeing
that comic comout You're like, well, I know what's gonna
happen in a couple ofsods.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I mean, I would really hope that if you, if
you are dating Nicole, you would have gone and watched
the seasons of the Challenge that she was on so
that you know what you're getting into, because she's been
on the Challenge before with a girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Yeah, that whole show.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Over COVID with a girlfriend, right, she was true life? Yeah,
so like, if you're going to date someone who's had
a lot of their relationships on TV, you better fucking
go and watch all that ship because even if it
doesn't necessarily, even if that's not how your current relationship is,
it really shows you who that person is in their life,
(31:09):
Like you want to get that knowledge it.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah, I'm sure Nicoles in their air been like, yeah,
that was me, but I've changed, like I'm matured.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I'm noting changes that much. Yeah, whatever, we get Frank
and Sam. This is where Frank says that you know,
he used to be he used to fall into that
toxic alpha mentality and all that person. Yeah, he's going
to try not to be that person anymore because to.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Cut to this season Challenge all Stars.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah, and Sam saying that she helps that with age
of maturity that they get along and that he really has,
you know, cal him down a bit, so we'll see.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I wish they would have showed the video of Night
punching at the reunion because I was so happy him
in the face. I hate.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Let me get you know, the we get Nanny freaking
out walking around and we never got any resolution to
this either, which is frustrating. Nannie freaking out because apparently
all the rooms are full and no beds are available anymore.
But that went absolutely nowhere, Like the yeah, do they
just not have an extra bunk? Like didn't didn't resolve
(32:27):
that at all, explain it just a red herring. And
we get a shot of turbo chilling outside by himself
eating blueberries.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I did enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah, he was like, Oh, it's so hot outside, but
you go inside so cold. I get geez, we've.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Got a Beth and Shane are talking, which was I
found this a weird pairing. I always forget that Shane
is from old seasons of the Challenge, Like he seems
like such a much younger person to me, but he's
from some of those original ones. Yeah, but they're talking
about John Ay and Beth's how Beth needs to deal
(33:10):
with this and what she did and allsor thing, and
Shane brings up a very good point which I hadn't
really thought about before. But he says, the reason why
Beth triggers people is because she breaks the unspoken rule
of bringing up people's private home lives when she's talking
shit about people on the show in fights, in all
(33:31):
of her you know, behind the back talking all that
sort of things she pulls in all of their private
lives and then doesn't fess up to it. No, doesn't
think that it's a big deal, but like if somebody
did that to her, she'd be fucking pissed. Yeah, so
I thought that was a very good point on Shane's.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Point, she's as Johnny Bananas, Yes.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
She is, she's in a different way. We've got John Nay,
Ashley and Frank also talking about the Johnny and Beth thing.
And this is where she mentions that they're in marriage
and that she's in marriage counseling or was in marriage counseling.
It seems like their relationship hopefully is much better and
everything's fine now, but hopefully Beth doesn't fuck that up
for her again. Melissa says that she's very excited to
(34:23):
have Big Tea with her in the game, and then
she says that she would sew Big Tea to her
if she could. And I immediately thought of mister Brian
Wolford and his various various horror movies that I'm sure
people are being sewn together.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
The human centipede situation.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
See, I was.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Thinking like like arm like side of the body decided
the body not asked mouth but okay, I know what
she meant. Gross. And then we get another scene of
Nanni and Turbo. I have a feeling we're gonna get
(35:06):
a lot of these where Nanni is trying to talk
to him and he's just completely shutting her down. And
then we go away to another scene of Beth and
John Ay and this is Beth apologizes question.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Mark, question mark, big fat question mark.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
She apologizes for losing her cool.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Yeah, this is a I'm not really apologizing for what
I said. I'm apologizing you have problems, yes, so.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
That I can try and smooth it over so that
we can actually work together in this game.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
It's like, I'm sorry that my actions made you feel
that way. Depend the blame on them, being like, yeah,
you had that reaction to.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Me, Yeah it was. And she in this entire conversation
not once did she say I'm sorry for spreading a
rumor that you were cheating on your husband. And Johnnay
tries to like lay it out there more than a
few times, and Beth still just keeps sidestepping it. It's
(36:23):
just it, yeah, Beth, And and Beth's talking head she
says that you know, Johnnay was trying to blow up
my game, so I was just trying to blow up hers.
And as she was saying it, I was really hoping
that she was going to say I was trying to
blow up her life, because that's what it looked like
it was going to and then she said game like, no, girl,
(36:46):
you you tried to blow up her life, not her game.
This was not a This was not a game move.
This was a life move.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah, that's a problem. Yeah, it's one thing you don't
do when you're in situations like this. You don't walk
with other people's family.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
No, it's it's an unspoken rule in Housewives. It's an
unspoken rule and basically any reality show out there, like spouses, kids,
people who don't sign up to be on that show.
You leave that shit alone. You don't touch it. That's
completely off limits, like home lives. Things that are not
signed up for in this show are not to be
(37:23):
brought up. They are sacred like otherwise. It just it
causes all kinds of problems. And Beth just completely sidestep
that rule and ran to the pass that line. It's unfortunate.
And then we go back to Nanni and Turbo.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Oh my goodness, I don't think I could ever be
over a Turbo.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Like, even when he's as worse, I just find him
so entertaining.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I don't feel like he was entertaining at all here.
He was so shut down as Nanny is. She is
visibly upset. She's telling him what she what she needs
from him, how she feels, how he made her feel
last time, that she understands that she made him feel
a certain way. Like she's doing all of the things
right and he is completely shut down to all of it.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
I think to me, it's just the acting, because I
think if any other parent did this, I wouldn't find
it funny. But just things like her being like can
we talk and him being like no. I think because
of his accent, I'm like, oh, that's so hilarious.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Jesus.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
So we've learned that if you say things that are
mean in a Turkish accent to Zach, he's just gonna
find it funny.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Exactly her bucket.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Call me a and I'd probably be like applauding me.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Like again again, Zach is boozy chicken. Yes, love it.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
All right, we are onto the challenge. Well, if you
weren't looking at poorn on your phone?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Was posting my also picture house social media. Welcome to
the Ways, Lamb.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
It's a great song, all right. First challenge, we finally
have Katie's partners surprise prize. It's Ferdica, which, yeah, it
sounds like everybody already knew, including everyone who has seen
any of the literature. For this season, the Stars are back,
(39:36):
so you have to have a star in order to
make it to a final. There are four of them,
and the four teams that win this or win this
challenge are going to first. Four teams to win this
challenge are going to get stars. The game is called Frenemies.
It's basically a big, giant open field. Everybody has a lane.
(39:57):
Each lane has three checkpoints in it. You must complete
each checkpoint before you can move on to the next one,
and TJ says that the checkpoints are like your relationships, uncomfortable, awkward,
and messy, which gets a a big laugh from the
whole crew.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Sure you're just a comedian, yep.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
So the three checkpoints. First one, they have to run
to a mud pit, lather up in it, run to
a bucket and deposit all of the mud and they
are connected in this entire thing. They're on like, I
don't know, like a six foot rope. This is just
like the Honey Challenge, if you guys remember from X's
many many many years ago, though not quite as sexy.
(40:44):
Second checkpoint is they have to transfer ice using like
big blocks of ice. They're like probably three by three
inch cubes using giant spoons from a bucket across a
field to a cylinder that's filled with water, and once
the water gets up to a certain point, then you
can move on to the next one. And the final
(41:05):
one is a gurney that has four balls on it,
and you have to pick up the gurney with your
partner and run and get three sandbags on your way
to the to the finish line without dropping the balls.
What do you think of all this?
Speaker 4 (41:26):
I thought it was fine, Like you know, I was
only halfway paying attention. The same thing is like super
compelling to watch, but it wasn't terrible.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
I watched it at work. It was about to.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Say, yeah, same watched at work this morning. I mean,
I guess the big points from each checkpoint. The mud
is apparently super sticky. Nicole almost immediately loses a shoe
and Fessi and Amber do the where they pile all
(42:01):
of the all the mud up on amber stomach and
then Festi just picks her and the mud up and
runs them both to the finish line or to the
chat point to deposit all of the mud, which seems
to do pretty well for them, Yeah, because they are
the first team to get through that checkpoint. The ice
seems to really stump a lot of people, like that's
(42:24):
that's the one that people are having a lot of
trouble with. Seems to be very slippery.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
Steven Adam, I think I actually came up with a
pretty good concept of yeah, putting it like the corner
down and then using like just walking together almost yep tongs. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Yeah, they worked surprisingly well in this. And then the
balls seemed a lot easier than I'm sure the producers
anticipated it to be. No one seemed to have a
problem with that at all. As long as you went
as at a steady pace, they all seemed fine. Hummm.
(43:04):
So ultimately the winners are Steve and Adam are first place, Lee,
Roy and Devon are second, Ashley and Dario or third,
and then we have big team Corey and Nanni and
Turbo neck and neck until the third Sandbag, and then
Nanni and Turbo just pull ahead and they get that
(43:25):
fourth spot and the losers are everybody else. But we
don't find out what happens with that because there's no
elimination this season or this episode.
Speaker 4 (43:33):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Yeah, so TJ, you know, awards the four teams they're
Stars and then sends them all back to the house.
Back at the house, there is a lot of talk
about if any about teams stealing money. If you win,
are you going to keep it or are you gonna
split it? If that option is given to you cut.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
To the obligatory two clips.
Speaker 4 (44:02):
Yeah, and so obviously we know that that twist is
gonna be an effect this season.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
They're not gonna show it that much.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
If it's not, Yeah, I would think that it's still
gonna be an effect. I mean, it's been an effect
for the last few games of All Stars. So but
up until this point they've done a pretty good job
of splitting it and giving something. In the last two
seasons they've given money to other teams. Then we get
(44:30):
our it's not even a next week on, it's just
the continuation of the episode. We get the flash forwards
of what's happening this season? The only thing that I
got out of this entire thing was Devon and Dario
at some point in time get into it and Dario
says something like I'm gonna break your arm, and Devon's
(44:53):
response to him, as Leroy is splitting them apart, is
your breastinks classic? It is classic, Devon. Hey, Josh, what's eight?
Time's nine?
Speaker 1 (45:06):
Well, Josh pushed them over and Devin just fell onto
the couch.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
I kind of looked at him, like, what the hell? What? Yeah, well,
that's that's the episode, guys.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
Because they're only an hour this season. Yeah, thank god,
Oh perfect length. Yeah, now that we got everybody introduced,
we can just do a challenge and then an elimination. Yeah,
some drama.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
I'm hoping that there's gonna be goodrama this season.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
See, I think there will be. I thought the premie
looked promising.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Yeah, well, hey, everybody head a challenge pot dot Com
join the Facebook group. You should join our fantasy league.
There's still time to join and uh you can. Also
you should also follow us on Instagram, and you should
join our patreon. For five dollars a month, you get

(46:07):
of stuff, and one of those things is we say

(46:28):
Rolden still the veteran. How talk to that dude in Forever, Ryan, Samuel, Sarah,
Scott Shack, shake our smiling Jack, Stan, Steven and Stove.
Thank you guys, everybody. We appreciate it. Yeah, Zach, you
(46:49):
said you exhausted your social media news already.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
Yeah, it feels like it's been a pretty quiet week.
I was gonna say to have Wes on.
Speaker 4 (47:02):
The Traders, So if you're not watching the Traders, want
some more Wes, go check them out on there.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
Hey, Carlin, we'll just tell us about the Fantasy League.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Yeah, so Fantasy League. If you missed the first week,
that's okay. You can still join. I think you can
actually still join all the way through the end of
the season. But we are doing two leagues again this year.
One league is just for the challenge hosts. We'll run
through those teams in just a few minutes. But the
other one is the one that you guys actually care about.
(47:35):
It's the Fantasy Weekly Redraft League.
Speaker 1 (47:41):
Which we should mention last season's winner, Garrett is going
to be joining us on episode three to co host,
which is the prize for winning the Fantasy League.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
Yeah, yes, but yeah, so this season Fantasy League we
don't have. We don't know what the prize is going
to be quite yet, because we don't know if there's
going to be another challenge of the season or a
season of the challenge, So we'll figure something out.
Speaker 4 (48:15):
We've had multiple cast members now confirming that calls for
forty one have gone out to cast members, so I
feel like we can safely say, but I don't have
Tim with her kids still say that's not good enough.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
No, I don't think it's good enough either. Until we
actually get a confirmation. We'll figure it out.
Speaker 3 (48:36):
Trailer.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 2 (48:38):
All right, Oh god, we won't get a trailer for
another even if they do announce, So it'll most likely
be you get to guest host an episode on the show,
but either way, you get bragging rights for the season.
If you win, it's you know, yet again, another redraft
one where every week you go in and we have
(48:58):
it sets that you pick four players. We're going to
go with four players all season. You get to pick
what is it five times? Yeah, so four players. You
can pick them a maximum of five times pick wisely
because like we all learned last season, if you don't
pick wisely, then you may end up with not enough
(49:19):
players at the end.
Speaker 4 (49:20):
Did we stick with four all the way through? I
thought I thought we was pushed it to three part
way through, but.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
We talked about it. But because we're doing so that's
the other part of this is we are doing a
toast team where every week each of us hosts get
to pick one player and it's going to be a
team of our combined picks. So we'll see how that
does in relation to the rest of the teams. So
(49:48):
it'll be kind of fun. It's on there as challenge
pod hosts. I need everybody to get their ass and
gear though, because I am currently already winning this thing.
Mm hmmm a little insane.
Speaker 4 (50:00):
So if you win again this time, Carl and I
think Wolf invite you a guest host one of his
other podcasts.
Speaker 2 (50:06):
Okay, okay, so the host league because we didn't have
a pre season show. We did our draft about a
week ago. We had Garrett pick the order for us,
the order of our Snake draft, and then we all
(50:26):
went through and picked our players. Do you both have
your teams up? By chance? Do you want to tell
us your teams?
Speaker 3 (50:33):
I can pull my team off or I can.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Run through all four of them. But I feel like
I've talked a lot tonight, and you know I'm I'm
annoying and I butt in all the time.
Speaker 1 (50:41):
So shut up, carln uh So my team I picked
my winning is team of I didn't split this very well.
I'm just realizing I got four women on my team.
I tried to go eat like four men four women,
but now it doesn't matter. So I picked Jean A, Frank, Leroy, Ashley, Amber,
(51:07):
and Melissa. Now you're saying, why would you have Frank
on your team if you hate him so much? Because
my team going for drama, trying to get as much
drama points as I can on this team.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
Fair, I like that, mister Zachi been Inez, you wanna
tell us your team and the strategy behind picking him.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
Yes, I have Nicole, Ashley, Kay, Kelly, Ann and Adam
and Steve and I have one other person I'm forgetting.
Speaker 2 (51:42):
Oh god, if Adam and Steve go home, you are
so fucked too, immediately off of your team.
Speaker 3 (51:48):
I also have Corey.
Speaker 4 (51:49):
Yes, I didn't realize I had both Am and Steve
until yesterday.
Speaker 3 (51:52):
I was looking.
Speaker 4 (51:53):
I'm like, oh, I realized I ended up with both
of them. What was my strategy? My strategy was picked
Steve early because if you understood the rules of the
final last season, he wins. And then after that was
trying to get people that are good drama for the
drama points.
Speaker 2 (52:10):
I think this season's gonna have a lot of drama.
I think we're all gonna be pretty high on that
drama points.
Speaker 3 (52:15):
Except that's me. Kay.
Speaker 4 (52:16):
I chose her because I figured she would be non
offensive and just get carried far because no one dislikes her.
Speaker 2 (52:22):
Yeah, but she's paired. She's paired with.
Speaker 3 (52:24):
Dario, so that is true.
Speaker 2 (52:29):
All right. So I have Nanni, Devin, Katie, Shane, Davon
and Veronica. Oh god, I have Katie and Veronica. I
didn't realize that.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
I hit it.
Speaker 2 (52:41):
I have Katie and Veronica, and I have Davon and Shane.
I didn't realize I have two teams on my team.
Speaker 3 (52:47):
Fuck, it's good of thing at home.
Speaker 4 (52:51):
But if they both make the final, Carlin's got this
in the bag.
Speaker 2 (52:54):
I mean it is, that's true. I kind of went
for drama. I kind of went for like, these are
play yeers that have made it really far in the past.
Veronica was my last pick because she was kind of
all that was left. Um, but I think that I
think Devin and Shane and Nannie all have They've all
played and Davon have all played really well in the past.
Speaker 4 (53:18):
Ye. So, so I did have the number one I
did have the number one pick. I did want to
take Frank, but I was convinced one of you guys
would steal Shane from me and not Shane Steve.
Speaker 3 (53:28):
Like like you guys did with Derek last year. Carlin.
But apparently y'all said you want to have taken Steve.
Speaker 2 (53:34):
No, I was absolutely gonna take Steve. You took him before. Yeah,
I wanted to take him because I knew that you
wanted him.
Speaker 3 (53:40):
Yes, I did so.
Speaker 2 (53:42):
The same way that what was it was it Wolfe
that took Johnny Bananas last season?
Speaker 1 (53:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (53:46):
I thought it was like, oh, you guys all hate Johnny. No,
one will take him.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
No, it's we're trying to fuck up other people's.
Speaker 1 (53:51):
Game, so you would have to root against him.
Speaker 2 (53:54):
Yep, okay. And then Tim's team, we don't know his
strategy because he's not here. Tim's t is Fessei, who
yet again is going by fessel, which I mean, I get,
I get that it's his actual name, but everyone is
calling him FeSi, his little chiron at the bottom of
his fl uh. So he's got Fessi, Sam, Sylvia, Turbo, Dario,
(54:16):
and Beth. So he's not a pretty like scattered team.
He's got some good players on there.
Speaker 4 (54:24):
I mean, I feel like a lot of his players
you sound like, eh, I'm like, well, they might have
decent partners to help them.
Speaker 2 (54:31):
But well, yeah, I mean and Amberfesi's got Amber, which,
by the way, Fessei multiple times in this episode was like,
I I don't think Amber is that great of a player.
Amber doesn't isn't that good of a player?
Speaker 3 (54:41):
All this.
Speaker 2 (54:44):
Well, he did say at one point in time like
I didn't think that she was that great of a player,
and then jokes on me because she won that season.
Good at least you fucking fest up to it, bitch.
Speaker 4 (54:54):
Yeah, he d have kept her as a partner, and
who knows, maybe he wins.
Speaker 2 (54:58):
Yep, but I yeah, So, I mean he's got he's
got Amber, so that could potentially be a good pairing Sam,
who's paired with Frank. So theoretically, if they like if
Frank wins, An wins a challenge, that means that Sam
has won a challenge, they have the potential of doing pretty.
Speaker 4 (55:14):
Well, which if needs to be like Dario, just go
to bed for the whole season.
Speaker 3 (55:20):
I'll handle everything.
Speaker 2 (55:23):
So I mean, his team could actually be pretty damn good.
He may not actually lose everybody halfway through the game.
Speaker 1 (55:31):
He's still he's already in last place in the host league.
So ye, Tim's Tim's uh continues.
Speaker 2 (55:42):
Yeah, poor guy, I have to send him half my
team again.
Speaker 1 (55:49):
Maybe, I guess it's just good that he doesn't like
bet on stuff. He doesn't have like the betting gene.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
Yeah, he's just doing it because it's fun.
Speaker 1 (56:00):
He's not good at fantasy.
Speaker 2 (56:02):
Yeah, in the.
Speaker 4 (56:04):
Weekly Fantasy he did like jump up to five last season,
so yeah.
Speaker 2 (56:09):
He forgot to do his team before the season started
this year.
Speaker 3 (56:13):
So oh yeah, true.
Speaker 2 (56:15):
So again, if you want to join the fantasy league.
Go on to Oh I just lost what's the name
of it? Real TV Fantasy and join the Challenged with
a d public league.

Hi, Shalie and shall ch
Hey, everybody, Welcome back to Challenge podcast, all about the Challenge,
and welcome to the wasistline. For people that are watching live,
they will understand what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Or if you go to our Instagram or.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Our instagram for now as usual, I'm Brian sitting in
her home really worried about the super warm temperatures. It's
going to ruin the rest of her life for the
next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I think I'm probably the only one worried about the
warm temperatures. Carl and San Diego.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
And sitting at work, I don't know, also worried about
rising temperatures for Carlin's upcoming a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I think we all are yes, Zachu Banannas.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I know my mom's worried about too, because it's been
warm in Alaska and she does a lot of winter sports.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So yeah, I heard they are getting in any snow
in Alaska either.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
No, she she is sending me pictures there day just
from her office, and like it was just green and
dry as far as you can see.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, I saw a TikTok video. I don't know, like,
what was it a week ago when the South got
a bunch of snow, and it was spliced with someone
from Alaska saying, yeah, can you can? Can you return
that we're that's missing? Can you can you send that back? Please?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So, currently sitting on a plane regretting his life decisions
is Tim. So he's not here.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, we have been going back and forth quite a
bit today about the bullshit that's happening in the White
House from the Canton Lope man and the unfortunately completely
tragic and horrible airplane crash that happened last night.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
And Tim's flights were laid because Canada didn't want to
give them access to their airspace. Now because we're a
bullshit country. Hey, everybody had every challenge pot dot com.
Join the Facebook group. You can also join our patreon,
which I just realized I'm gonna have to pull up
and read later. Hey Carlon, do you want to tell
(02:29):
us about the first episode of All Stars Season five?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah? Aren't you guys excited that it's back?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I am, especially since it's a rival I.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Am kind of stoked on this Rivals things. It's making
me real happy. So before we get into the episode,
I just want to say I fucking hate how much
MTV and Paramount and whoever the fuck else it is.
It's how difficult they are making watching this season. Yeah,
it is insane. Agreed, Why why are they like they
(03:09):
don't have money anyway, and now they're like, oh my god,
it's so frustrating. There were I've been to so many
pages trying to figure out how I could watch it
this morning.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
And I know Wolfe disagrees with me, but I loved
this premiere except it was way too short.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I feel like we did not get.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Off perfect length perfect.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I was okay with the length. I just wish there
was an elimination.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I think that's a big part of why I was
okay with the length, because I was like, oh, it's
too short to get a full round in.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah. Yeah, Mandy said the Spectrum one't letter record it. Yeah,
I don't think anything is recording it. It looked like
there were a lot of people who were saying that
YouTube TV wasn't letting them record it, and maybe they
just missed it in time, but I don't know. It's
just fucking stupid. Like even even Exfinity on Demand was
saying that it was available to buy. You couldn't even
(03:57):
watch it on demand on your on your app.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
So I recorded it last night on my YouTube TV
profile and it was there last night when I got
home as well. Yeah, this morning, when you guys brought
it up, I went and looked and it was just gone?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Really?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I could still click the link to the show that
was recorded, but when I got there, just showed the
cast in and have the video of the they had
recorded the night prior.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
That's fucking stupid, weird. Well, luckily we have this lovely
show that Wolfe has unfortunately posted from Daddy Bezos can
watch it.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I didn't know you could buy it on Uh, it
was on Vodio, which is now Fandango at Home or whatever,
so I could have bought it there too, which would
have at least give him Fandango some money and not Amazon.
But what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, that's unfortunate. All right, Well, we'll go ahead and
kick off this episode All Star Rivals Episode one. I
did not write down the tide of the episode because
I didn't really care thing.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Something. Stars started arrival.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Oh god, all of these are gonna be puns with
stars and then marn't they probably all right? Well, so
we start off with a instead of a last week
on or What Up because we didn't have a last week.
We start off with a with a TJ voiceover and
all kinds of flashback videos from previous seasons of pairs
(05:27):
and of teams and all kinds of different videos from that,
and then we cut to everybody walking into the arena
for the first time, our very first For anyone who's
playing along at home and doing the fantasy league, which
you should all sign up for. You can still do
it even if you missed the first week. You might
(05:47):
be a week behind end points, but you never know.
You may come and kick everybody's ass you do for
the season.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I forgot, apparently to set my team, even though I'm
pretty sure I did so.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I'm in Like I said, reach out to Peter. He
might be able to that. Peter's the creator of the
website for anyone who missed it, but we'll see. Uh. So,
our our first talking head went to Frank uh someone
we haven't seen them really long time. Boo. I know
(06:24):
Zach Zach and chime in as well, but I was
kind of excited to see him. I wanted to see
if he'd grown any of it. He was still the
asshole that he used to be.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Agree.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
I found him so obnoxious, like back in you know,
the bowt of the Seasons and stuff. But this new
Frank that we've seen so far, I'm really enjoying him.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, you can tell that he has grown up a bit,
and I'm hoping they I'm hoping that that lasts. But yeah,
so we get We get a bunch of flashbacks to
Frank being addiction not addic shit, Frank being an asshole,
an absolute dick, to Sam all that sort of thing,
(07:06):
yelling at other people in the house, saying that you know,
he used to be an alpha, was insecure, all that
sort of thing, and then a quick life update for him.
Then we go on to Leroy. We hear a quick
clip from Leroy when they're all standing in the arena
talking about who all's there, saying that if Jordan walks in,
I quit.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Fair enough.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
We get some flashbacks if Nanni and Turbo. Uh, Turbo
seems real on this Nanni stabbed him in the back
and he doesn't want anything to do with her. Kick.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
We get lots of that this episode.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, lots of it. He seems very shut down in
relation to her.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
And think he's so sad because I loved Turbo in
his first season, like showing all the flash back and
how well they work together.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I'm like, man, where did that guy go? I love
that guy?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, Nanni and Turbo that for season he was on
We're Great TV. He was like him calling Nanny his
mom and like wanting to be her to be proud
of him, and.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
I was like, I don't want to win this for her,
Like I want her to be proud of me and
like me.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
And it's like yeah, And he was so much fun
to watch that season, Like he kicked ass. We all
understood why he won Survivor.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah. Nanny points out that when he came back the
second time, he seemed like a completely different person. Yeah,
which I completely agree with.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, I think everybody saw it.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
And unfortunately he won Survivor twice. He then he comes
wins the challenge, so I'm sure that definitely got to
his head and at that time he's like the sounds.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
From the sounds of things. He also almost won Survivor
Turkey a third time, but then like got sick or
something like that and had to leave.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
He got meta back to like the final five, but
he was like the odds on favorite to win it
a third time.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, so yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if that got
to his head. Then we get a talking head from Dario. Yeah, exactly,
sleepy Dario. He says that it looks like a nursing
home in there. There are people with white hair and
gray hair and all these things. And I'm like, dude,
(09:15):
you slept for like three quarters of all of your seasons.
We didn't know who the fuck you were. You were
just there in the background. What are you talking about.
On top of that, it's all stars. It's meant to
be the older players. Like, fuck off, Yeah, that's Pollay's
not an older player. Let's kind of slap in the
face of Dario is concidered an All star.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I know, right, and I know that we've always been
very loose with that term on the show.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
But still, yeah, we get smash Lely and I I
know that I shouldn't say this, but I'm gonna say
it anyway, but girl has gotten way too much filler.
She's she her face looks so different.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
It does.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
She's got like weird she's got a weird job. It
almost looks like she has jowls because of the filler
that she's got in her face, like she was so
pretty before. I mean, I guess if that's if that's
what she likes, then go for it. But I just
I not my preference. Beth is back. Of course, Sylvia
(10:20):
laughs at Beth being that, like the TJ says, Beth,
you're back, and Sylvia just laughs at it. Johnny is
very obviously pissed at Beth still for spreading and cheating
rumors the last season they were on, which should I'd
be pissed too, And then.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Are we thinking those rumors were true? Though?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
I I was like thinking, like, I don't know. But
then once once Johnny said, you know, we have to
go through a lot of marriage counseling, I was like,
if they're just fake rumors, like I don't know, I mean,
you could still be counseling for that, feel like.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Oh they have to work through infidelity issues.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yea later so yeah, later on when they were talking
about it and she mentioned the counseling, I my note
to that was that they didn't. The way that they
cut it was a little weird, and I think I've
just got my housewife's brain on me. I don't know
that she was saying that she's they were getting marriage
counseling because of the cheating rumors, or if they were
(11:22):
already in marriage counseling, and that just happened to add
on top of it, so like it wasn't super clear
with that, they cut it to make it look like
it was because of the cheating rumors. But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Caroline wants to know, And why haven't we seen him Jay?
Since then? Wasn't he on the next season?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
That was that?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So they won the season together? And then the next
season was the season that that they were both on.
That was the season that they were accused of cheating. Yes,
not the season that they were partners, but the season after.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I mean we you know that he and Landon were
best season. We know how Landing gets down?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, and I mean maybe AMJ just hasn't wanted to
come back.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Who knows it's possible.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, And then we get a quick like Steve picture
which Steve needs to grow the beard back.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
What happened to my boy Steve? He got fat?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
He lost his beard too, And I'm sorry, dude, he
does not look good clean shaven.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yeah, So I for the lessons.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
I took him with the number one draft pick for
our fantasy draft, and I was thinking of All Stars
for Steve and I was so excited.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
And then he showed up and I was like, what
have I done?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
All?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Then TJ shows up and tells them, Hey, so this
isn't just a normal All Stars season. This is All
Stars rivals. People are not happy, So we are going
to run through all of the teams because we didn't
have a preseason episode or show. Team number one. Steve
(13:08):
gets calmed down and then Adam gets called down with him,
and Adam is pissed. He's such a whiny little bit.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
You should call and apologize.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
I love that we got confessional Steve being like, yeah,
I don't regret it.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Good, I'm glad he doesn't regret it. He shouldn't regret it.
Adam treated him like ship that season, and yeah, there
are multiple times in this episode where Adam very obviously
thinks that he's top shit and he's hot shit and
he's the best part of that team, and that Steve
does nothing. Adam, you are you? You got your star
(13:50):
stolen because you didn't win that episode.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Yeah, if I remember Steve didn't understand how the stars
worked in the final if you had he beats Laurel.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, yeah, I just I. I started off liking Adam
when he first showed up. What was it last season?
I cannot fucking stand that feed. Now he's so frustrating
to watch same.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I was so excited to have him back last year
and then yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I was indifferent to having him back because I didn't
remember him. I know that Tim really hated him, but
I enjoyed watching him the first few episodes he was on.
I thought he was kind of fun, and then he
ended up downhill real fast.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
His road Roll season was the first road Roll season
I ever watched, So I watched because Katie was advertised.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I was like, oh, that girl's hot. So I was like, oh, Adam.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
I loved him like he was on my first season,
and yeah he's a douche.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Team number two we get Frank and Sam and they
actually seem okay about this pairing. They seem like they
may have mended fences over the course of the last
you know, fifteen odd years that they haven't been on
or ten odd years.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
They're probably fine, probably in that space where they're like,
we're good, but I know how this person gets when
the pressure comes on, and that's not the person I'm
looking forward to seeing. Yeah, so that's not surprising.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Yep, the next team I was gonna say, I hate to,
you know, be that person. But also talking to mom
to day, we were discussing Sam this season.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Is she the biggest person to.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Ever be on the challenge Big Easy? We think she
might be bigger than be Big Easy wasn't his height.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So I mean maybe she, but yeah, she so if
she is not the same body type that she was
the first time.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
She should up in the If I was in Frank's
position coming back for the first half years to compete,
I'd be like, you kind of like gun shape for this,
like not to be skinny, but like Sam looks like
she just shut up with no preparation.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Well, and I mean Frank is very obviously still very
very fit, so yes, I can understand him being a
bit frustrated and.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
A shocking because don't if you've seen more recent photos
of hand.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
But she's actually gotten semi jacked lately, so good for her.
I was expecting that on the show and then she
shows up, I'm like, Oh, where's all the muscles?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You have now.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I mean, honestly, it may have been a catalyst for her.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I hope, so hopefully we see her back again and
like much better shape.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
And speaking of body transformations, I didn't save it or
send it to anybody, but I saw some Challenge group
posted a picture of Nisa. Yeah, who posted three pictures
of herself. One was from right before season forty, the
other one was right after All Stars five, and then
(16:42):
she said the third one was taken like two days ago,
and she's lost a bunch of weight. It seems to
be getting in really good shape.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So good for her, Yeah, good for her.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Indeed, may come back and finally win one so I
can laugh in Tim's face.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
All right.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
So next team is Ashley and Dario, their exes. Dario
says that she's still hot. Later on in the episode,
we get her saying that Dario's still hot. There's obviously
they're obviously going to be trying to like tease out
tension between the two of them, Like I don't fucking care.
I really don't care. I think it's weird and awkward,
(17:25):
and yeah, I just.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
I mean, I don't know if you guys know this,
because I know I think you guys are big football fans.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I know Wolf he's not.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
But her ex husband and baby daddy is an NFL player,
former NFL player, So I'm like, Gorilla, you're gonna go
from that to Dario?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Oh, I know. It's just it's like girl, yes, one
down grade hm, no one needs sleepy Dario. Uh. And
then we get smash Lee and Anissa Uh. Anissa, neither
of them see super excited with this. Smash Lee says,
(18:02):
the TJ asks her how it feels to be paired
with a Nissa, and smash Lee says, not like a
million dollars, TJ, not like a million dollars. So I
don't think that Smashley's real thrilled with her team or
thinks that they can win, which when you start off
with that attitude, then you're definitely not going to So
(18:23):
I'm a little worried about Nissa this season.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Yeah h.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Then we get Kelly and and Sylvia, neither of them
seem super thrilled about this. Then we have Nicole and Melissa,
which the only reaction we got there was my girlfriend
is not going to be happy about this coming from
Peanut Butter and Nicole. Then it's Nanni and Turbo. What. Yeah,
(18:57):
Turbo is visibly not happy. Yeah, and Nanni's just like,
I don't care whatever.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, Turbo seems very upset because he is His initial
talking head said that he was only there to send
Nonnie home immediately, and now he's paired with her. M.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I mean he can still do it.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I can see being the type of person that would
get himself eliminated Justice Crew.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Nanni.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah, I mean if he keeps up with the attitude
that he's currently got. But I also don't know that
I see Turbo throwing a challenge like purposely losing.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Turbo has turned into bussy Chicken.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
And then we get by far and above, the most
awkward of pairings, Beth and John ay m. Yeah, Johnny,
It's just it's super awkward between the two of them.
Then we have Dave go On and Shane. Oh yeah,
we get Davon and Shane. Uh. Davon has in her
(20:09):
little talking head says that she has rededicated herself to God,
so there will be no cussing people out this season.
I really wonder how long that's gonna last.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Same year, so we'll see she.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Talks the way I kind of hate how born again
people talk. Yeah, I noticed a little bit, and friends
that become born again, and then it's just like, oh, God,
bless you, God bless you. I'm good. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
No, I don't, I don't. I don't here imaginary man.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
No, no, no, don't do that. She could be reading
her Bible the whole time. I don't know. Try not
to hate on. But this is why we're in this mess.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yes it is.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Well, if we're the Wetland, we get to go to
Panama much better than Illinois, and.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
We've got to take back at the canal. Somehow.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
That song came on when I was rollerblading around the
Viking Stadium a few weeks ago, and all I can
think was you and Tim just saying every time, every time.
All right. Next team is Amber and FESSI. Neither of
them look very happy about it. Then we've got Big
(21:42):
T and Corey. They seem to have kind of smooth things,
maybe a little bit, and it didn't seem like that
big of a deal. And then we've got Devin and
Leroy and Devon's talking head. Of course, Devan is talking
lots of shit, because that's what Devon does. He says,
this is LeRoy's fifteenth season and he has never won.
(22:03):
Leroy stabbing him in the back maybe the smartest move
that he has ever done. Because they are now paired together,
so Devin seems pretty confident that they're gonna win this season.
What do you guys think can he get Leroy his
first win?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Honestly, out of everybody there, it might be the best
person for him to team up with.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
And it's anating We fetaz that because I've seen a
lot of people online. The last point if iwers talk
about this cast was handpicked by production to roll out
a red carpet and cake walk Leroy to his first win.
Like this season was designed to give Leroy his win.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
All right, well here's hoping. So I don't mean I
would really I would really appreciate seeing Leroy win.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Just get it over with alrighty, you know it's been.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
So fucking long. Come on, none of the big players
are there, Like, come on, dude, you can do this.
And then we get our final pairing. But oh wait uh,
there's only one person left. It's just miss Katie standing
up there all by her lonesome.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Or friend of the show Katie we met, Yeah, friend
of the show.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I started laughing when I saw her standing up there
by herself because I was like, oh God, the last
time I saw you, you were so drunk.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yes, very very drunk.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
That little and she's so tiny too, very I did
not realize quite how tiny she was. She's so tiny. So, yeah,
her partner isn't there yet, and TJ won't tell her
who it is.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Didn't he say that they were so scared to show up.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah, and of course Katie does her thing of like, well,
I pissed a lot of people off, so we could
be just about anybody.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
So Davon did a video podcast after episode, and she
said the entire cast knew Veronica was coming, and apparently
that Veronica like just was able to make it that day.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
She had delay, and so they gave her the Jordan treatment,
which shocked me because I.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Understand why you like, wait for Jordan, I don't understand
why you wait for Veronica.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, that's kind of surprising. I feel like they would
only do that if like a flight got canceled or
you know, something about sort of something that was out
of their control. So that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
But yeah, she said while they were at the hotel
before filming started, like they all knew Veronica was coming late.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
At least she didn't miss anything important because didn't Jordan
this like a whole challenge?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Did he?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
He might have?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah, yeah, he was gone for like a whole a
whole thing. I do have to say, I have to,
I have to point this out because I think this
is really spectacular and way overdue. I'm absolutely loving the
queer representation on this show. There are are two full
partnerships of queer people, and there are at least five
(25:04):
teams that we know of with at least one queer partner.
I think it's so fantastic that there are so many
people representing the LGBTQ community. I think it's absolutely amazing,
really really love.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
That kind of thing. Man, we have Frank and Sam.
Who's the other pair?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
That's Frank and Sam? And then who was I looking at?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
A big Team Corey.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
That's right, Frank and Sam and Big Team Corey are
the two.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Full yep, Melissa Melissa's believe.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Does Melissa actually identify as by I believe so, but
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I wasn't sure on that we might have we might
have a third, but you have at least one person
from their team.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I don't think she makes a big deal about it. Yeah,
so it's not like a thing.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, so well it was. It was their team Anissan, Smashley,
Nanny and Turbo, Davon and Shane, Katie and Veronica. So
there's our our five that at least have one player.
Potentially there may actually be more people on this cast,
(26:13):
but it's just it's I think it's really spectacular. Yeah,
way overdue.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
It was very cringe inducing to learn to hear Nannie
talking about her and Casey wanting to get married.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Oh yeah, considering they just broke up.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Recently, yeah, like two days ago.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah, she was talking about they're planning a wedding, and.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
That breakup was my one piece of social media for
the week. So we're done with social media. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
So if anybody doesn't know and Casey are no longer together.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Because I followed Casey on Instagram and I saw her
like thanking the moving company for opener get it to
her new place, and I'm just.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Like, yeah, I mean, hopefully there's no like scandal there
and it just they grew apart. I hope for both
of their sakes that it's that that's what it is,
and that it's not some absolutely devastating reason. Yeah, but
we don't know. So then t and TJ tells them
(27:22):
you were all locked into these partnerships, win, lose all
of it, you go home together, and that the prize
pot is three hundred thousand dollars, which seems a little.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Small, but whatever, it's on all stars, Yeah, try to
these out super quick.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Yep, all right, back to the house. Did anyone else
find it a little strange that all the rivals were
bunking together rather than splitting up and bunking wherever they wanted.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Well, I believe TJ told them, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
But I just kind of he said, he mentioned that,
but I didn't think it was like a they actually
had to bunks together.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It seems like.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
That's weird too, because I was like, I'd want my
partner to be in a different room than me, so
we could like you know, get information from you know,
multiple rooms, but.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
We'll get information. But also like if you need some space,
then you guys have the ability to go to your
own separate rooms. And I had like when they were
picking out all the bunks, I bet you that's why
they did this, because it's just going to heighten all
the drama.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Yeah, my fourth people dig in to show mancas because
they're like, well, I could go sleep in this person's
bed then and get away from my partners.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah there's that.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
We very quickly get Devon coining the term the name
Devroy for his team.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Which.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Of course you did. We'll see how how well that
catches on. We get a quick snap uh app of
Nicole's girlfriend back home because Nicole's talking about how she's
in a relationship. Did anyone else think that Nicole's girlfriend,
her current girlfriend, kind of had a little bit of
(29:10):
a Laurel look to her or was that just me?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I did not notice that while watching it, but while
looking up social media news, I saw a lot of
people commenting that, So I was like, I have to
go back and look.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
It was like a I mean, it was it was slight,
and it was I think it was kind of like
the the initial angle and maybe she doesn't look that
much like her, but it kind of she kind of
looked a little bit like Laurel to me. It was
a little weird. But she gets brought up because Nicole
is now partners and rooming with Melissa, who we know
(29:44):
they had a thing back in the day, and she quote,
she says, they.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Showed that footage and I'm like, I don't remember that
at all.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
You don't remember. Will you pleasure me and I'll pleasure you?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
How is that what that's from?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yeah? Yeah, you pleasure me and I'll do the same.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
You pleasure me and will do the same.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah. So we get all this because Nicole says, if
you're going to put me, put a blonde bombshell in
a room with me, something's gonna happen. Oh good lord,
you are still the same fuck boy that you were
every other time you've been on this show.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Right, can you imagine mee and your girlfriend like seeing
that comic comout You're like, well, I know what's gonna
happen in a couple ofsods.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I mean, I would really hope that if you, if
you are dating Nicole, you would have gone and watched
the seasons of the Challenge that she was on so
that you know what you're getting into, because she's been
on the Challenge before with a girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Yeah, that whole show.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Over COVID with a girlfriend, right, she was true life? Yeah,
so like, if you're going to date someone who's had
a lot of their relationships on TV, you better fucking
go and watch all that ship because even if it
doesn't necessarily, even if that's not how your current relationship is,
it really shows you who that person is in their life,
(31:09):
Like you want to get that knowledge it.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah, I'm sure Nicoles in their air been like, yeah,
that was me, but I've changed, like I'm matured.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I'm noting changes that much. Yeah, whatever, we get Frank
and Sam. This is where Frank says that you know,
he used to be he used to fall into that
toxic alpha mentality and all that person. Yeah, he's going
to try not to be that person anymore because to.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Cut to this season Challenge all Stars.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah, and Sam saying that she helps that with age
of maturity that they get along and that he really has,
you know, cal him down a bit, so we'll see.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I wish they would have showed the video of Night
punching at the reunion because I was so happy him
in the face. I hate.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Let me get you know, the we get Nanny freaking
out walking around and we never got any resolution to
this either, which is frustrating. Nannie freaking out because apparently
all the rooms are full and no beds are available anymore.
But that went absolutely nowhere, Like the yeah, do they
just not have an extra bunk? Like didn't didn't resolve
(32:27):
that at all, explain it just a red herring. And
we get a shot of turbo chilling outside by himself
eating blueberries.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I did enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah, he was like, Oh, it's so hot outside, but
you go inside so cold. I get geez, we've.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Got a Beth and Shane are talking, which was I
found this a weird pairing. I always forget that Shane
is from old seasons of the Challenge, Like he seems
like such a much younger person to me, but he's
from some of those original ones. Yeah, but they're talking
about John Ay and Beth's how Beth needs to deal
(33:10):
with this and what she did and allsor thing, and
Shane brings up a very good point which I hadn't
really thought about before. But he says, the reason why
Beth triggers people is because she breaks the unspoken rule
of bringing up people's private home lives when she's talking
shit about people on the show in fights, in all
(33:31):
of her you know, behind the back talking all that
sort of things she pulls in all of their private
lives and then doesn't fess up to it. No, doesn't
think that it's a big deal, but like if somebody
did that to her, she'd be fucking pissed. Yeah, so
I thought that was a very good point on Shane's.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Point, she's as Johnny Bananas, Yes.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
She is, she's in a different way. We've got John Nay,
Ashley and Frank also talking about the Johnny and Beth thing.
And this is where she mentions that they're in marriage
and that she's in marriage counseling or was in marriage counseling.
It seems like their relationship hopefully is much better and
everything's fine now, but hopefully Beth doesn't fuck that up
for her again. Melissa says that she's very excited to
(34:23):
have Big Tea with her in the game, and then
she says that she would sew Big Tea to her
if she could. And I immediately thought of mister Brian
Wolford and his various various horror movies that I'm sure
people are being sewn together.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
The human centipede situation.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
See, I was.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Thinking like like arm like side of the body decided
the body not asked mouth but okay, I know what
she meant. Gross. And then we get another scene of
Nanni and Turbo. I have a feeling we're gonna get
(35:06):
a lot of these where Nanni is trying to talk
to him and he's just completely shutting her down. And
then we go away to another scene of Beth and
John Ay and this is Beth apologizes question.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Mark, question mark, big fat question mark.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
She apologizes for losing her cool.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Yeah, this is a I'm not really apologizing for what
I said. I'm apologizing you have problems, yes, so.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
That I can try and smooth it over so that
we can actually work together in this game.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
It's like, I'm sorry that my actions made you feel
that way. Depend the blame on them, being like, yeah,
you had that reaction to.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Me, Yeah it was. And she in this entire conversation
not once did she say I'm sorry for spreading a
rumor that you were cheating on your husband. And Johnnay
tries to like lay it out there more than a
few times, and Beth still just keeps sidestepping it. It's
(36:23):
just it, yeah, Beth, And and Beth's talking head she
says that you know, Johnnay was trying to blow up
my game, so I was just trying to blow up hers.
And as she was saying it, I was really hoping
that she was going to say I was trying to
blow up her life, because that's what it looked like
it was going to and then she said game like, no, girl,
(36:46):
you you tried to blow up her life, not her game.
This was not a This was not a game move.
This was a life move.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah, that's a problem. Yeah, it's one thing you don't
do when you're in situations like this. You don't walk
with other people's family.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
No, it's it's an unspoken rule in Housewives. It's an
unspoken rule and basically any reality show out there, like spouses, kids,
people who don't sign up to be on that show.
You leave that shit alone. You don't touch it. That's
completely off limits, like home lives. Things that are not
signed up for in this show are not to be
(37:23):
brought up. They are sacred like otherwise. It just it
causes all kinds of problems. And Beth just completely sidestep
that rule and ran to the pass that line. It's unfortunate.
And then we go back to Nanni and Turbo.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Oh my goodness, I don't think I could ever be
over a Turbo.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Like, even when he's as worse, I just find him
so entertaining.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I don't feel like he was entertaining at all here.
He was so shut down as Nanny is. She is
visibly upset. She's telling him what she what she needs
from him, how she feels, how he made her feel
last time, that she understands that she made him feel
a certain way. Like she's doing all of the things
right and he is completely shut down to all of it.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
I think to me, it's just the acting, because I
think if any other parent did this, I wouldn't find
it funny. But just things like her being like can
we talk and him being like no. I think because
of his accent, I'm like, oh, that's so hilarious.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Jesus.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
So we've learned that if you say things that are
mean in a Turkish accent to Zach, he's just gonna
find it funny.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Exactly her bucket.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Call me a and I'd probably be like applauding me.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Like again again, Zach is boozy chicken. Yes, love it.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
All right, we are onto the challenge. Well, if you
weren't looking at poorn on your phone?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Was posting my also picture house social media. Welcome to
the Ways, Lamb.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
It's a great song, all right. First challenge, we finally
have Katie's partners surprise prize. It's Ferdica, which, yeah, it
sounds like everybody already knew, including everyone who has seen
any of the literature. For this season, the Stars are back,
(39:36):
so you have to have a star in order to
make it to a final. There are four of them,
and the four teams that win this or win this
challenge are going to first. Four teams to win this
challenge are going to get stars. The game is called Frenemies.
It's basically a big, giant open field. Everybody has a lane.
(39:57):
Each lane has three checkpoints in it. You must complete
each checkpoint before you can move on to the next one,
and TJ says that the checkpoints are like your relationships, uncomfortable, awkward,
and messy, which gets a a big laugh from the
whole crew.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Sure you're just a comedian, yep.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
So the three checkpoints. First one, they have to run
to a mud pit, lather up in it, run to
a bucket and deposit all of the mud and they
are connected in this entire thing. They're on like, I
don't know, like a six foot rope. This is just
like the Honey Challenge, if you guys remember from X's
many many many years ago, though not quite as sexy.
(40:44):
Second checkpoint is they have to transfer ice using like
big blocks of ice. They're like probably three by three
inch cubes using giant spoons from a bucket across a
field to a cylinder that's filled with water, and once
the water gets up to a certain point, then you
can move on to the next one. And the final
(41:05):
one is a gurney that has four balls on it,
and you have to pick up the gurney with your
partner and run and get three sandbags on your way
to the to the finish line without dropping the balls.
What do you think of all this?
Speaker 4 (41:26):
I thought it was fine, Like you know, I was
only halfway paying attention. The same thing is like super
compelling to watch, but it wasn't terrible.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
I watched it at work. It was about to.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Say, yeah, same watched at work this morning. I mean,
I guess the big points from each checkpoint. The mud
is apparently super sticky. Nicole almost immediately loses a shoe
and Fessi and Amber do the where they pile all
(42:01):
of the all the mud up on amber stomach and
then Festi just picks her and the mud up and
runs them both to the finish line or to the
chat point to deposit all of the mud, which seems
to do pretty well for them, Yeah, because they are
the first team to get through that checkpoint. The ice
seems to really stump a lot of people, like that's
(42:24):
that's the one that people are having a lot of
trouble with. Seems to be very slippery.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
Steven Adam, I think I actually came up with a
pretty good concept of yeah, putting it like the corner
down and then using like just walking together almost yep tongs. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Yeah, they worked surprisingly well in this. And then the
balls seemed a lot easier than I'm sure the producers
anticipated it to be. No one seemed to have a
problem with that at all. As long as you went
as at a steady pace, they all seemed fine. Hummm.
(43:04):
So ultimately the winners are Steve and Adam are first place, Lee,
Roy and Devon are second, Ashley and Dario or third,
and then we have big team Corey and Nanni and
Turbo neck and neck until the third Sandbag, and then
Nanni and Turbo just pull ahead and they get that
(43:25):
fourth spot and the losers are everybody else. But we
don't find out what happens with that because there's no
elimination this season or this episode.
Speaker 4 (43:33):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Yeah, so TJ, you know, awards the four teams they're
Stars and then sends them all back to the house.
Back at the house, there is a lot of talk
about if any about teams stealing money. If you win,
are you going to keep it or are you gonna
split it? If that option is given to you cut.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
To the obligatory two clips.
Speaker 4 (44:02):
Yeah, and so obviously we know that that twist is
gonna be an effect this season.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
They're not gonna show it that much.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
If it's not, Yeah, I would think that it's still
gonna be an effect. I mean, it's been an effect
for the last few games of All Stars. So but
up until this point they've done a pretty good job
of splitting it and giving something. In the last two
seasons they've given money to other teams. Then we get
(44:30):
our it's not even a next week on, it's just
the continuation of the episode. We get the flash forwards
of what's happening this season? The only thing that I
got out of this entire thing was Devon and Dario
at some point in time get into it and Dario
says something like I'm gonna break your arm, and Devon's
(44:53):
response to him, as Leroy is splitting them apart, is
your breastinks classic? It is classic, Devon. Hey, Josh, what's eight?
Time's nine?
Speaker 1 (45:06):
Well, Josh pushed them over and Devin just fell onto
the couch.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
I kind of looked at him, like, what the hell? What? Yeah, well,
that's that's the episode, guys.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
Because they're only an hour this season. Yeah, thank god,
Oh perfect length. Yeah, now that we got everybody introduced,
we can just do a challenge and then an elimination. Yeah,
some drama.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
I'm hoping that there's gonna be goodrama this season.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
See, I think there will be. I thought the premie
looked promising.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Yeah, well, hey, everybody head a challenge pot dot Com

(46:07):

Scott Shack, shake our smiling Jack, Stan, Steven and Stove.
Thank you guys, everybody. We appreciate it. Yeah, Zach, you
(46:49):
said you exhausted your social media news already.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
Yeah, it feels like it's been a pretty quiet week.
I was gonna say to have Wes on.
Speaker 4 (47:02):
The Traders, So if you're not watching the Traders, want
some more Wes, go check them out on there.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
Hey, Carlin, we'll just tell us about the Fantasy League.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Yeah, so Fantasy League. If you missed the first week,
that's okay. You can still join. I think you can
actually still join all the way through the end of
the season. But we are doing two leagues again this year.
One league is just for the challenge hosts. We'll run
through those teams in just a few minutes. But the
other one is the one that you guys actually care about.
(47:35):
It's the Fantasy Weekly Redraft League.
Speaker 1 (47:41):
Which we should mention last season's winner, Garrett is going
to be joining us on episode three to co host,
which is the prize for winning the Fantasy League.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
Yeah, yes, but yeah, so this season Fantasy League we
don't have. We don't know what the prize is going
to be quite yet, because we don't know if there's
going to be another challenge of the season or a
season of the challenge, So we'll figure something out.
Speaker 4 (48:15):
We've had multiple cast members now confirming that calls for
forty one have gone out to cast members, so I
feel like we can safely say, but I don't have
Tim with her kids still say that's not good enough.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
No, I don't think it's good enough either. Until we
actually get a confirmation. We'll figure it out.
Speaker 3 (48:36):
Trailer.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 2 (48:38):
All right, Oh god, we won't get a trailer for
another even if they do announce, So it'll most likely
be you get to guest host an episode on the show,
but either way, you get bragging rights for the season.
If you win, it's you know, yet again, another redraft
one where every week you go in and we have
(48:58):
it sets that you pick four players. We're going to
go with four players all season. You get to pick
what is it five times? Yeah, so four players. You
can pick them a maximum of five times pick wisely
because like we all learned last season, if you don't
pick wisely, then you may end up with not enough
(49:19):
players at the end.
Speaker 4 (49:20):
Did we stick with four all the way through? I
thought I thought we was pushed it to three part
way through, but.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
We talked about it. But because we're doing so that's
the other part of this is we are doing a
toast team where every week each of us hosts get
to pick one player and it's going to be a
team of our combined picks. So we'll see how that
does in relation to the rest of the teams. So
(49:48):
it'll be kind of fun. It's on there as challenge
pod hosts. I need everybody to get their ass and
gear though, because I am currently already winning this thing.
Mm hmmm a little insane.
Speaker 4 (50:00):
So if you win again this time, Carl and I
think Wolf invite you a guest host one of his
other podcasts.
Speaker 2 (50:06):
Okay, okay, so the host league because we didn't have
a pre season show. We did our draft about a
week ago. We had Garrett pick the order for us,
the order of our Snake draft, and then we all
(50:26):
went through and picked our players. Do you both have
your teams up? By chance? Do you want to tell
us your teams?
Speaker 3 (50:33):
I can pull my team off or I can.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Run through all four of them. But I feel like
I've talked a lot tonight, and you know I'm I'm
annoying and I butt in all the time.
Speaker 1 (50:41):
So shut up, carln uh So my team I picked
my winning is team of I didn't split this very well.
I'm just realizing I got four women on my team.
I tried to go eat like four men four women,
but now it doesn't matter. So I picked Jean A, Frank, Leroy, Ashley, Amber,
(51:07):
and Melissa. Now you're saying, why would you have Frank
on your team if you hate him so much? Because
my team going for drama, trying to get as much
drama points as I can on this team.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
Fair, I like that, mister Zachi been Inez, you wanna
tell us your team and the strategy behind picking him.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
Yes, I have Nicole, Ashley, Kay, Kelly, Ann and Adam
and Steve and I have one other person I'm forgetting.
Speaker 2 (51:42):
Oh god, if Adam and Steve go home, you are
so fucked too, immediately off of your team.
Speaker 3 (51:48):
I also have Corey.
Speaker 4 (51:49):
Yes, I didn't realize I had both Am and Steve
until yesterday.
Speaker 3 (51:52):
I was looking.
Speaker 4 (51:53):
I'm like, oh, I realized I ended up with both
of them. What was my strategy? My strategy was picked
Steve early because if you understood the rules of the
final last season, he wins. And then after that was
trying to get people that are good drama for the
drama points.
Speaker 2 (52:10):
I think this season's gonna have a lot of drama.
I think we're all gonna be pretty high on that
drama points.
Speaker 3 (52:15):
Except that's me. Kay.
Speaker 4 (52:16):
I chose her because I figured she would be non
offensive and just get carried far because no one dislikes her.
Speaker 2 (52:22):
Yeah, but she's paired. She's paired with.
Speaker 3 (52:24):
Dario, so that is true.
Speaker 2 (52:29):
All right. So I have Nanni, Devin, Katie, Shane, Davon
and Veronica. Oh god, I have Katie and Veronica. I
didn't realize that.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
I hit it.
Speaker 2 (52:41):
I have Katie and Veronica, and I have Davon and Shane.
I didn't realize I have two teams on my team.
Speaker 3 (52:47):
Fuck, it's good of thing at home.
Speaker 4 (52:51):
But if they both make the final, Carlin's got this
in the bag.
Speaker 2 (52:54):
I mean it is, that's true. I kind of went
for drama. I kind of went for like, these are
play yeers that have made it really far in the past.
Veronica was my last pick because she was kind of
all that was left. Um, but I think that I
think Devin and Shane and Nannie all have They've all
played and Davon have all played really well in the past.
Speaker 4 (53:18):
Ye. So, so I did have the number one I
did have the number one pick. I did want to
take Frank, but I was convinced one of you guys
would steal Shane from me and not Shane Steve.
Speaker 3 (53:28):
Like like you guys did with Derek last year. Carlin.
But apparently y'all said you want to have taken Steve.
Speaker 2 (53:34):
No, I was absolutely gonna take Steve. You took him before. Yeah,
I wanted to take him because I knew that you
wanted him.
Speaker 3 (53:40):
Yes, I did so.
Speaker 2 (53:42):
The same way that what was it was it Wolfe
that took Johnny Bananas last season?
Speaker 1 (53:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (53:46):
I thought it was like, oh, you guys all hate Johnny. No,
one will take him.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
No, it's we're trying to fuck up other people's.
Speaker 1 (53:51):
Game, so you would have to root against him.
Speaker 2 (53:54):
Yep, okay. And then Tim's team, we don't know his
strategy because he's not here. Tim's t is Fessei, who
yet again is going by fessel, which I mean, I get,
I get that it's his actual name, but everyone is
calling him FeSi, his little chiron at the bottom of
his fl uh. So he's got Fessi, Sam, Sylvia, Turbo, Dario,
(54:16):
and Beth. So he's not a pretty like scattered team.
He's got some good players on there.
Speaker 4 (54:24):
I mean, I feel like a lot of his players
you sound like, eh, I'm like, well, they might have
decent partners to help them.
Speaker 2 (54:31):
But well, yeah, I mean and Amberfesi's got Amber, which,
by the way, Fessei multiple times in this episode was like,
I I don't think Amber is that great of a player.
Amber doesn't isn't that good of a player?
Speaker 3 (54:41):
All this.
Speaker 2 (54:44):
Well, he did say at one point in time like
I didn't think that she was that great of a player,
and then jokes on me because she won that season.
Good at least you fucking fest up to it, bitch.
Speaker 4 (54:54):
Yeah, he d have kept her as a partner, and
who knows, maybe he wins.
Speaker 2 (54:58):
Yep, but I yeah, So, I mean he's got he's
got Amber, so that could potentially be a good pairing Sam,
who's paired with Frank. So theoretically, if they like if
Frank wins, An wins a challenge, that means that Sam
has won a challenge, they have the potential of doing pretty.
Speaker 4 (55:14):
Well, which if needs to be like Dario, just go
to bed for the whole season.
Speaker 3 (55:20):
I'll handle everything.
Speaker 2 (55:23):
So I mean, his team could actually be pretty damn good.
He may not actually lose everybody halfway through the game.
Speaker 1 (55:31):
He's still he's already in last place in the host league.
So ye, Tim's Tim's uh continues.
Speaker 2 (55:42):
Yeah, poor guy, I have to send him half my
team again.
Speaker 1 (55:49):
Maybe, I guess it's just good that he doesn't like
bet on stuff. He doesn't have like the betting gene.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
Yeah, he's just doing it because it's fun.
Speaker 1 (56:00):
He's not good at fantasy.
Speaker 2 (56:02):
Yeah, in the.
Speaker 4 (56:04):
Weekly Fantasy he did like jump up to five last season,
so yeah.
Speaker 2 (56:09):
He forgot to do his team before the season started
this year.
Speaker 3 (56:13):
So oh yeah, true.
Speaker 2 (56:15):
So again, if you want to join the fantasy league.
Go on to Oh I just lost what's the name
