Speaker 2 (01:16):
Thank you so much for having me. This is awesome.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Oscar is such a privilege to meet you and I'm
very excited to have it. But before we get started,
I'm going to give a shout out to our mutual friend,
my honoring little podcast brother, Mike Lewis, who set this
podcast up.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I've known Mike since he started, since I before I
started my channel, Mike was a person I talked to
because he's he He's a cool guy, right, and I
thought he was so cool. I reached out to him
to talk about the challenge and we became friends and
he kind of inspired me a little bit to start
my channel. So yeah, Mike, big shout out to him.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Mike.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I'm so proud of his work. He is incredible and
I'm so on and he is my Honorarie podcasting younger
brother figure.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Awesome.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Alrighty, so Mike, you get the shout out.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
So now, so guys, if you check out Mike's conversations
with both of us on our broth of our respective channels,
ban right now, Oscar, this is your show. So, Oscar,
when did you first get interested in performing and how
did that passion evolve desire to pursue a career in
the media industry well for performing?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I never I never thought my life would go down
that path, to be honest, I was always a guy
who when people would ask what do you want to
do when you grow up? I never knew, which was
always scary because as a kid you kind of always
have this dream, and I never felt like I had
a dream per se, so I always did different things.
(02:51):
And one time, when I was in grade nine or ten,
my parents heard this ad for an acting school and said,
you don't do enough, you know, we got to sign
you up for something. You're going to do it. And
I was terrified because I mean, like acting is pretty
you need to have a lot of confidence, and I
wasn't the most confident teenager. So I did that, and
(03:11):
I always like to say, after my first class, I
hated it, but there were a lot of pretty girls,
so I stayed in. I stayed in it, and I
stayed in it for a few years because it was
fun and it was something for me to do. And honestly,
an agent reached out to me who saw one of
my like recordings from class and was like, do you
(03:33):
want to try auditioning? And I guess that there was
some fire lit under me that was like, Okay, this
could actually happen. So I auditioned a little bit and
I got and I really got into it. Started taking
a lot of classes, like more, way more classes, and
I was auditioning and I started booking a little bit
and then it kind of was like, Okay, this could
(03:55):
be the thing I want to do with the rest
of my life, and I just there. The thing that
reinnites me all the time is every time I do
an audition, I get this feeling of just like I
like I accomplished something. I get this feeling of accomplishment
and I never felt that feeling before. It's like a rush.
And whenever I act or perform, I get that feeling
(04:17):
and I feel like that's how I know that, That's
how the passion is there, and that's what I meant
to do in a way if that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
It totally makes sense, my friend, because I did. I
did Fit Great twelth grade Theater, Fit Greade twelfth Wake Wires,
So I believe me awesome I know about that. And
also the thing is when it comes to passion, like
seeing talk shows like Live with Three and Kelly and
Live three SS, Kathy Lei, the Rosie O'donnald's show, and
also Today in America Today and let Letterman lit a
(04:47):
fire out of me?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Did you how did you feel about what's his name
who got canceled Jimmy Kimmel, How did you feel about that?
In him? Coming back where you like one of the people.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It was a very it's very trouble. It was very troubling.
Definitely a sign of freedom of speech. And the thing is,
it's like if someone had my and sorry about politics people,
but if someone took my show away from me, I'd
be mad as nat.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Yeah, no, that's totally fair.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
This is your show, you know, and you've worked hard
to maintain it and build it. You don't want someone
to just snap their fingers and take it away from you.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Absolutely, Oscar and absolutely so. While r on the subject
about that so earlier this year, last month, so on
September twenty six, you surprised a lot of social media
and Challenge fandom when you sat revealed that you were
a Wookie revolution Why you decide now it was time
to indicate you were you are behind the Reality to platform.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I was always terrified to show my face on when
I was like critiquing people because I never wanted to
be too nice. When I was talking about the challenge,
I mean, I want to be nice, but I want
to be honest and if I don't like someone on
the show, I wanted to be able to say, you
know this person, I don't think is right for the show.
They had a bad performance, they weren't they have no
(06:04):
cardio or whatever. And I was always scared to show
my face with that or say who I was, because
you know, people can say whatever they want about me.
And then I started acting, and I got even more
terrified that people would be, like I could work like
I mean me for Bananas, for example, Bananas had Joel
(06:25):
McHale on this podcast. I did a movie with Joel McHale,
you know, like we're all connected in weird ways. And
I didn't want anything to affect my trajectory in my
career or anything. But then I realized you only live once,
and like I wasn't making videos as often because I
was so busy, and I really wanted to like continue
(06:47):
talking about the challenge. So I was like, why not
merge the two, not merge them, but at least give
people a way to if they were at all liked me,
a way to keep up with me. And then also
so if I want to make more videos on the challenge,
I could do it where I could show me myself,
show my face and have more of a personal connection
(07:08):
with the audience.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
It honestly was just like it seemed like the right time.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It was something I've been thinking about for a while,
but just one morning, I was just like, I'm gonna
do it, and I'm really glad I did.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I'm glad you did too. And I think a lot
of people, a lot of followers from our community and
podcasters along with some Challenge customers I believe read out
to you and I think, yeah, they did the act
dealing with that.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
It was really sweet.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I will forever love talking about this show. And you know,
I always felt like it was a secret that I
had this YouTube channel, And in a weird way, I'm like,
why is it a secret? The Challenge is amazing. I
like the channel was like I did. I put a
(07:54):
lot of work into the videos. It's something you should
be proud of and not hide. And I was like,
I don't want to hide any more. And you know,
if they if they end up merging, like like right now,
like I can talk about my acting and the Challenge
and my YouTube channel, that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
That's like a dream come true.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So yeah, absolutely, And like here's the thing that's why
I'm not just the Challenge. I've covered America Scott Talent.
I've have interviews like we're doing right now. I review
music because the thing is in the entertainment industry. It's like, basically,
if you don't want to put your you're already pitchingholing yourself.
But what in this industry can you do well? I
(08:31):
can write, I have takes. Some of them are fiery,
some of them are not. I can also and I
also have an ass of a passion for stuff like Yeah,
on Instagram I talked about DC comics, Marvel Comics, and
then also agat and a challenge and of course music,
so that those are some of my passions. And the
thing is you need to show that's where you want
(08:53):
to be, Like, for example, I would love to be
an entertainment and I correspondent. That was one of my
dream jobs. And to showcase that I've had the depth
of knowledge and not just one thing, but a whole
lot others, because in our journer for everybody, you can't
just be one. You can have the ability to be
do other stuff as well.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I completely agree, and I've actually like watched some of
your podcasts before.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I think you're doing a great thing.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I think that what you're doing is pretty much a
big audition for something bigger in a way, I'm you're
you're right, why not put yourself out there and show
yourself and what you can do?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
And that's exactly what you're doing, so I admire.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I also admire that you never pulled back your thoughts
and you'll see how you really feel. And I feel
like not a lot of people really do that, So
I like.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
That, Thank you very much, Oscar. The thing is where
I can get my like. The thing is some of
my heroes are known for not holding things back. Simon
cal Howard, Star, Sir l John, the Late and Great Missus,
Joan Rivers, Wendy Williams, they Calculate and Roseanne, those Bill Mahert,
(10:02):
those people who I like and admire, they never held back.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, and I really appreciate as a viewer that you
don't either, and I don't and I hope that you
never feel the need to, because really, we need to
be more real as a society. I mean, people are
just scared to say how they really feel and talk,
and that's why communication is so bad nowadays too, with
like kids getting younger, and it's just the thing that
(10:29):
it doesn't need to be the case because like you're
saying free speech. I mean, just say how you feel
and you know you'll be happier for it.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Absolutely. Absolutely, So we got to talk about about the
rookie Revolution. So how did you get the name of
rookie Revolution.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I was actually looking at my notepad from like twenty
nineteen or something about name ideas. I had three name
ideas I had because this was when Total Madness was airing.
I had the audacity because of Nelson, which I thought, Okay,
that doesn't make any sense. So I was gonna really
get that welcome to the Game, which I thought was
(11:08):
kind of like because everyone says welcome to the challenge,
it was like welcome to the game or welcome to
the challenge. But I thought that was kind of like
pigeonholding myself as well to just do the challenge. But
then I rewatched bout of the season's twenty twelve and
there was all this talk about a rookie revolution, right,
So I was like, that's a cool name, Like that's
(11:28):
a cool saying a rookie revolution. I was a rookie
coming into YouTube starring Something New. I wanted to make
a revolution on YouTube by being one of the only
people that talk about the challenge other than angel Cake,
and it just it kind of stuck, like it rolls
off the tongue. Well, Rookie Revolution, And after I heard that,
I was like, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
No other name is Rookie Revolution.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I think you feoth smart the thing is. And I guys,
chat out my friend you chat I angel Cake, My
dear friend Arrangement. Another one of my dear colleagues as well,
be Guess a phenomenal job. Documentaries with Car inspired me
so great. Yeah, he I gotta say Drew, he's incredible.
And guys, after you're done with our conversation with Oscar,
(12:11):
please go check out my friend Drew Angelman because he
is phenomenal with his contents.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Alan and Geary also inspired me. Drew and Allen from
like he wrote the Medium articles. They really both.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Inspired me because Drew, well, Drew was the only person
doing challenge radeos on YouTube, Like really he was, and
he really wow he does them well you know, so yeah,
totally m hm.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
And now now we got to talk about our community.
It's not just you and me, it's not just Mike,
it's not just Drew. We have to have Scott and
Derek who are like my older honorary older brother figures
when it comes to reality TV podcasting, you gotta give
my friend's page and Dylan and of course Jacob the
Challenge Historian and plus Wes and Sydney have been behind patriarch.
(13:00):
I got to give a shout out to my dear
friends John Brennan, Bess Lark and of course I have
to mention dev taxes and potassium as well as so
there is so and there is soach podcare too. Yeah,
could you have shout out to my friend here becall
as well so and I'm sorry if I overlooked them,
(13:22):
and Jacob the Child Historian. There's so many of us.
There are so many of us.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
It's growing and growing and growing so over the.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Past couple of years. So that brings us to my
next question. So, over the past several years are the
Challenge family Is podcast lane has been filled with US
commentariors and cast members. So what have been some of
the challenges in standing out in our community and how
did you overcome those obstacles.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I kind of let my challenge knowledge, which when I
get into something, I think this is someone with ADHD.
I learn everything. I get hyper fixated on it, and
I learn every niche thing, and I watched seasons a
million times. I kind of just wanted my knowledge of
the show to speak for itself. And I also wanted
(14:09):
to I wanted to just make the videos really easy
to watch and show things that people might not know,
like I have. I don't know how I got these.
I I shouldn't even be saying this. I have some
unaired stuff from the challenge on my hard drive, Like.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I think I'm a s oscar. You should hold onto
that and do not even do that because paramoun will
not be happy at you. I think burn you, or
you will not be happy at you.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
But so please, I've used them in videos before, so
you never know. I mean not unaired, but things have
aired once and then never and then I and I
ended up getting my hands on things. So it's cool
to like show perspectives of perspectives of things. And yeah,
I just wanted to make videos that were really intuitive
(14:59):
and introact active and really quick with the but had
a lot of background knowledge on them. Like if I
talk about an elimination, I want to talk about everything
that went into the elimination that wasn't seeing.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
I just want to yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I think I just wanted my knowledge of the show
to speak for itself and be editing to kind of
get people looped in and really into it. But it
was hard standing out. I mean it wasn't overnight right
like I And also every video you do you get better.
But really it's about the grind. I mean, people will
do one video and then if it doesn't do well,
(15:34):
they'll give up, right, And you know you can't do that.
You got to keep going. It's all about consistency. And
in the beginning, it was all about consistency. And I
think making your own lane is this also doing something
a bit different like with Drew he does his little
table talks.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
I didn't want to copy Drew.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Right, I wanted to make it just my own and
kind of build a separate lane.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
And you know, it's it's cool to see that it
did kind.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Of work exactly. And the thing is, and the thing
is with me because there's so many people that do well.
I came in when paul had Final in Banana's Ground,
Banana's Final Record with Paulie Devon and Navin de Garatti
were all made their appearances.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Does that probably go into the show from Big Brother.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Same.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah. So the thing is, I gotta say this, some
of the Big Brother people have delivered, some of the
people have not delivered, And I gotta say, I gotta say,
this is going to be interesting. You're this is going
to get a lot of steam. But the people from
Big Brother to me to have delivered. Paulie and I
know Peace, I know people don't like Casey, but however,
(16:44):
she was condominated. If you run We're winning Challenge for
CT you do, and yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I'd rather see someone good for the show and entertaining
and maybe a character than just win, you know what
I mean. That's why Paulie was so good, like amazing
for the show.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Polly, And I gotta say this, I was part of
people that's been screened at the top of my lungs
to get him in carback.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Really yeah, because the thing is.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
A lot of the team cringe a lot of that
because the thing was it was boring.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
It was boring because the thing is.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
With Battle, I was with this guy. I want to
see with speaking. We'll get to the We'll get to
Fred's versus New Bets. I want to see Paully and
I want to see Zach Rip the heck out of
these new veats.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
I wanted those two on this season so badly.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
It was.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
It's insane the amount of.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
People who are willing to do this show and want
to do the show, but they cast people who. I mean,
Derek Kay is great, is great, but he had an
injured foot. Why was he on this season?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I know I love Derek Kay. He's like the old
my older brother figures. So I'm not going to talk
badly about him, but like the thing.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Is, he's excellent, just this season wasn't the best one
for him to be on because of his foot.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, and shaves. I'll be happy Shane should have had
shave as the spots.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Shane should have had shave is his spot. Yeah, Shane
does bring a lot to the show. I really appreciate
a character more than just competitive ability or if you
get second place in the final you're guaranteed a spot back,
because there's a lot more to the show that you
know you need.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Like Jordan on forty.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Best best showing of any competitor of all time, maybe,
but he's so boring.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
But here's the thing, and I'm just was in awe
that Jordan's right there and they did not delimit anything.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Well, that's that was the format issue, because all the
girls wanted him to be a potential partner if there's
partner portions of a final. What I think I always
thought back to the mini final in season forty, and
what would have been such a smart move is if
Bananas let me and Maya get perge or whatever, then
purposely comes in last. Jordan has to go in because
(18:59):
it's only it was only be the two of them,
and then take his chances in the elimination because you're
not beating Jordan in the final. We if Bananas thought
that we could have gotten a Bananas versus Jordan elimination
in season forty, that would have been awesome.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, and I gotta say this, I got I gotta
say this. I would have loved to see it, justin
thought Chavez was Chaves was bad. He could have seen
Paullie and Shane that they he would be those who
would eat him up for lunch. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
No, I mean, I think Derek's a great guy, but
I don't think they like I like him personally, but
I don't think that of the limited VET spots that
were available on Vet's versus New threats. He necessarily was
the best pick because of people like Pollie and Shane
and you know, Zach. There's a lot more people who
could maybe put more fear into the New Vet than
(19:51):
the New Threats eyes.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
And I really think Jenny should have gotten involved, should
have she put in her and I gotta say it,
love Jenny.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
She would have been excellent the season.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Did she say that she was done with the show though?
Because I read that she was done.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I got she has, but she's changing her mind maybe
for all Stars, Okay, but I gotta say Jenny would
have put the fear and god a lot of ladies.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Yeah, totally, except for Sidney, because I don't think anyone
scares Sydney. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I don't think everyone's scared Sydney too. I think Sydney
has been brilliant. I gotta say this. I gotta say
this as a rookie revolution. What do you think is
this the rookie Is this a really good rookie class.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
It's a really good rookie class that was ruined by
a really mid VET class. If it was like War
of the World's won, where they really brought the best
of the best and everyone was really hungry. This could
have been one of the best seasons ever. But they
they really the Vets weren't up to par to combat
(20:52):
the rookie class and it's not fun to watch them
not be.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Scared and and not to mention the fact that they
had the vet had a lot of stuff going on.
Carl Maria was about ready to lose her mom. But
Nissa have a father.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Oh I didn't even know that.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Anissa had her father at that time. Was at that
time filming and Nissa found out about her father oh man.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Yeah, So it just it wasn't the right time for
a lot of the Vets to be on.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Look, here's the thing who I would have really thought
that would deliver for the guides, Paulie, Shay Frank Yes,
Zach oh yeah, and Jay Stare. I think this would
have been perfect for Jay Starrett because I think Jay
would have been you need a playful kind of ad banter.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
But the thing whose spot would he have taken?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Jay? Let's say that, for example, the only person I
could think of of spot he would take is like Turbo.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Turbo has been good.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
But the thing is, I think Tobo needed needed a
Paulie around. He needed Zach around.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
He needed Jay around, like to have those guys, Yeah,
it would be been a deadly combinations, right, and then
Cyrus Cyrus route. I gotta say Cyrus would have been
really good.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Do you think that Cyrus would have been able to
keep up?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Okay, I've seen that he looks really good recently. I
think Darrell is always a good choice for a season.
But again, Darrell hasn't been that much of a character.
And like we're talking about just yeah, Tony really kind
of messed up his last two opportunities. He really he
I mean, one of the times he had to go
home for a family emergency, he can't fault him for that,
(22:30):
But on a forty he really.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
He was entertaining.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I love, I love the show, but he kind of
if he's never asked back again, that's his own fault.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, and then I would have break some glass. And like,
I know this is going to be controversial. I would
have loved to see Kenny Statucci and Dean Aguin. I
know they're too to fire on the two names, but
I think those two would have.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Delivered Kenny and who the d D? Yeah, well d
they they they made their bed with her. I mean
they they can't do what they did to a season
and then bring her back after like they that just
I agree though, I think that that that that was
handled poorly. But I think that Kenny, that that is controversial.
(23:17):
I think that if they were to bring back Kenny,
it would be on and all stars to see how
the reception is. But I know if you'd even want
to do this show Kenny, I mean, that's it messed
his life up.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I know, and same with d as well. But like
the thing is those two I would do with the
fiery and like see like and like you have those
who talk about because I think headlines would be fiery
if they have Georgia polarizing names in the Challenge community,
Kenny and d come back about Georgia, Georgia, it would
be also a lot another another one as well, like
(23:52):
to if I add another controversial one right now, my
friend Davis Mallory.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yeah, he hasn't been on the show in a long time.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
But however he got a lot of people are not
happy with him because of his personal stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I saw that. I have no comment because it's a
bit ridiculous, but.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You know, yeah, I gotta say bye. Those four. I
gotta say that would have been fun to see David,
d Georgia and Kenny.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
For All Stars. I agree, maybe, but not for forty one.
I gotta disagree with you on that one.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Everyone else.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
I totally get what you mean, and I totally get
why you think that they would have been good for
the season.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Because they would have put the fear in the vat
in the new threats.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
No, I agree with you.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
They would have put the fear in the actual events too.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Yeah. Because the thing is, they're hungry and they want
and like, the thing is, there's a lot and like
they have unfinished business.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Oh yeah, Oh my god, there's so many people on
the show with unfinished business.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
They did all Thart season six. Oh. Another person that
should have been there, my friend Bet and John Brennan.
Because the thing is, they're really hungry. I see you're after.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I All Stars, Yes, but forty one. I think that
you need. I think you need the more heavy hitters.
I really do. I think that is great.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
To win a season. They can I don't know they can.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
They can if it's like but I don't know if
they could have won against this rookie class.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Oh yeah, this rookie class, but like the thing that, however,
Gabe could have easily gone on Beth's side.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yes, I just don't see Beth beating a Sydney or
John Brennan beating a year me for example, but one
and All Stars or like season you know, another season,
you know, they totally could have. I wish that season
thirty nine had more people that, like had said, could
have been like second chances, like Trey weather Holtz or
(26:03):
Dustin or Josh ty Roff. Josh ty Roff, I mean
people you haven't seen in a while. Season thirty nine
could have been a great way to reintroduce people who
are still relevant.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
And then not to mention the fact Amanda I was like,
where is Amanda?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Oh yeah, she was on forty she was on recently.
I guess that's why.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, but I think she would have really been with
thirty nine.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah, no, everybody, And I.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Was Emmanuel didn't even get a spot on forty one
because I think Emmanual will be interesting.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, no, I thought you were guaranteed a spot on
forty or forty one. Nicky won season thirty nine for
forty My Dreams era forecast.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
If I would redo it, all over again, want to
hear it?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Yes, I absolutely do.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
For Era Ford, I.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Would catch Garassio and Pauli, but brought in Jay, Joss
and Turbot for the guys. Okay, I kept Casey, but
broad into Davon broke the glass and bought that kept
Jenny and then also I would have.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Had brought amber Portosa.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
What about Kyle.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Ever since he did that to Krra. Nope, Okay, I
just think that.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Of all the era for representation, he was like the
face of Era four and it's just hard to look
past how much of an impact he had on that
era or like spots. But I get what you mean.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, but that I think that era forurcats would have
terrified that everybody.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Mm hmm. I think Davon is a really good choice.
I think that she totally should have had a spot.
I don't know if I feel like the thing is
with Davon though. If she wants a spot, she gets
a spot. I think that that's all up to her. Now.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Oh yeah, I kind of wish and I kind of
wish they had a six spot given to Emmanual since
he won and also reached the spot for that as well,
because since day won both of them there, Like, I
know that that would have been the same because Jay
would have been immediately targeted, yeah, and Paulie would have
(28:10):
had and Paulie would have had to have picked either
between Josh or Turbot.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Imagine it being a Hulbrough in the first one against
Jay vers Paulie. That'd be a really good matchup.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
That's a MEAs I would not I cannot. I would
be so devastated because both of them are my guys.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I'm just saying I think that'd be a really good
Hulebro like that'd be a really even match like it
wouldn't be like the O and Paulie where it was
completely a one sided thing. I think I think it
would have been like one of the best Haulbroughs because
they're both very similar in stature and speed.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
And had to mention they love to talk.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Uh yeah, I think it probably would have been those
two in the first elimination. Honestly, probably would have been
your worst nightmare for it really came true.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Oh yeah, and then who would have been in the
second one, hypothetically d and Jenny.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
It was a liberal, Well, it would probably Maurice Still
and if Olivia is still aired. I think it would
have gone the same way, yeah, because they still had
really fresh beef.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
And I gotta say I would have loved the Era
one seth up very Cooonbaya. I would have said Beth
and John in there to really wrong him up.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
I guess that would have been very hard for that
Era one girls because Pen and Rachel would have been on.
It been so hard for Katie because Katie Andissa would
have sided with Beth.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I think you gotta put John back on All Stars
first to see if you can think that if you
can handle it, then you put him on a regular
season be Yeah, it's bad, you know, put her on whatever.
But I think you got to soft launch people back
a little bit before.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
You put it didn't the fire.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, but if Frank in all honesty, Frank should be
on every season.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, he then Rats would have the New Threats would
have definitely been cowering behind Frank Sweeney Fox.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I think that Frank had the potential to be he
won the best of all time. I think he is
one of the best of all time. He doesn't have
a big enough sample size to really know, but every
single he's done, he's performed excellently, and like.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
He had Ashley there, he had Johnna there. He would
have definitely had Carr there, so he would have definitely
been a little bit you would.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Have been as I know that they're not that close,
but that's somewhat protection.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
And then of course Derek as well, because Derek as well,
because Scott.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, and they've done seasons together. Yeah, he would have
been well set up and a lot of females would
have wanted to be his partner. I guarantee you Sidney
would have wanted to be Frank's partner over Turbo if
Frank was there.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Oh yeah, if Frank was there, absolutely, And then also
I gotta say Adrianne and Frank would have definitely brought
the flyer.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
And same with Lecca.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
That'd be a crazy partnership Leca and Frank, that'd be
so good.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
They would have been dominating every every single thing.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I could see Frank. You know, Leka did that challenge
by herself. I could see Frank doing that challenge by
himself too.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Yeah, and and knows you's dominating.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yeah, that would have been. Oh see, that's the thing though,
It's like, why why is this not happening? Why can't
we get people like this on the show. Why can't
they listen to us a bit more instead of casting
people who I don't know. I just feel like there's.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
A lot That's why I gotta say Nanni is a
lot more exciting now that there's no vacation Alliance.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah. I agree, Nannie's brought the fire this season. I
think Nannie's actually a really good partner to have. I'm
surprised more people didn't want Nanny because I think that
Nannie works the best for the partner.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
She's almost wanted so many times.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah, Ben did a great job with Nanny. I think
Justin did a great job with Nanni.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Everyone Nanny brings out the best in partners and vice versa.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, so I gotta say this, I want to keep
I know we could talk long about the challenge, my friend,
but however, we gotta talk. We gotta move on and
talk about your latest thing about acting, because I couldnot
We we could talk. I would love to have you
back to talk about other challenge stuff, maybe with.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Mike that'd be great.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, but however, we got to talk and move on
talk about some of your acting works. So we got
to talk about So one of my favorite posts that
I loved was seeing you with behind the scenes You're
not so invited my Botman's and seeing you with Adam Sandler.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Yeah that was crazy right. Oh my goodness, I've been
to his house.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
That's crazy like that.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
No, No, I went to cause I hung out with
like the cast and we like went to his rental
in Toronto and I worked down his jim a little bit.
Like I'm like, it's a cool story.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
I like to tell people that, like, oh.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Yeah, I worked down on Adam Sandler's Toronto's house, jim.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
But U, I have to say, Adam Sandler is definitely
one of the most genuine people in the industry.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Oh, I completely agree with you.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
But you know what's really cool about that movie is
being able to play a young Jewish teenager because you know,
that was awesome. I mean, what are the chances that
you get to be in a movie like that as
a as a Jewish kid? Right?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Oh? Absolutely? And I gotta say that's the reason why
my friend I am awe of you, because the thing
is word so I Fello barments foot boys.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
So yeah, I'm I'm you know, it's it's uh becoming
harder and harder to uh talk about because of everything
going on in the world. But yeah, I love that
you're that you're also out and proud of Jewish Man,
you know, love our faith, love our culture.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
And.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
And the thing is I. The thing is I.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Out of who we are, no matter who you are,
no matter what you are, That's all the world needs
to be. And I feel like, hopefully one day we're
not there yet. But no matter what you are, Jewish, Christian, atheist,
I don't know, Muslim, Indian, whatever, whatever, race, whatever religion,
just be proud of it and be able to just
(34:14):
say it with your chest and stand on it. And
that's all I hope.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
For Oscar to your lips to God's and yours, my friend.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah right, I mean we're talking about that by our
Metsva movie. I mean, how what are the chances a
Jewish kid gets I was eighteen when I did that.
Where are the chances you get to portray a Jewish
kid as a Jewish kid?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
That's so cool and top of one of the biggest Jewish,
well known Jewish people in the entertainment industry.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah right, I think that they cast I think most
of the cast in that movie was Jewish. It was
really cool, like because it was just a safe place, right,
I mean, you're all the same religion, and you know
you're bar mitsvas are such a big celebration.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
It was cool.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
It was like every set piece on that movie was
obviously wasn't a real bummus but it felt like a
real bombs to the party and it was just everyone
coming together and everyone getting along. There was no semblance
of anti Semitism in that movie, which.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Is amazing, absolutely absolutely so speaking of moved films in
the future, So what are your dream projects, my friend.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I would love to do something where I get to
kind of I mean growing up with like learning disabilities
and ADHD or being like neurodiverge, and I'd love to
portray a character like that, maybe someone who's like in
high school and going through that while growing up or
in college. I would love to do a show like that.
I'd love to do an action movie at one point.
(35:43):
I feel like everyone wants to do that. I uh,
and obviously like the big big ambition is like playing
a superhero one day, but I really think that just
portraying real issues and spreading awareness of things would be
like my dream to just have someone be like I
saw you there. I saw that. I relate to that,
(36:04):
you know it, really I felt seen. That's all I
want to be able to portray in a movie or show.
Those are my biggest ambitions.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
I know one day you're going to get there, my friend,
you are going to get there.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
I have no doubt that you're going to get there.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I appreciate that. It's a crazy you know, you can
get call tomorrow that you're going to France for two months.

Oscar is such a privilege to meet you and I'm

I'm going to give a shout out to our mutual friend,
my honoring little podcast brother, Mike Lewis, who set this
podcast up.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I've known Mike since he started, since I before I
started my channel, Mike was a person I talked to
because he's he He's a cool guy, right, and I
thought he was so cool. I reached out to him
to talk about the challenge and we became friends and
he kind of inspired me a little bit to start
my channel. So yeah, Mike, big shout out to him.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Mike.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I'm so proud of his work. He is incredible and
I'm so on and he is my Honorarie podcasting younger
brother figure.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Awesome.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Alrighty, so Mike, you get the shout out.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
So now, so guys, if you check out Mike's conversations
with both of us on our broth of our respective channels,
ban right now, Oscar, this is your show. So, Oscar,
when did you first get interested in performing and how
did that passion evolve desire to pursue a career in
the media industry well for performing?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I never I never thought my life would go down
that path, to be honest, I was always a guy
who when people would ask what do you want to
do when you grow up? I never knew, which was
always scary because as a kid you kind of always
have this dream, and I never felt like I had
a dream per se, so I always did different things.
(02:51):
And one time, when I was in grade nine or ten,
my parents heard this ad for an acting school and said,
you don't do enough, you know, we got to sign
you up for something. You're going to do it. And
I was terrified because I mean, like acting is pretty
you need to have a lot of confidence, and I
wasn't the most confident teenager. So I did that, and
(03:11):
I always like to say, after my first class, I
hated it, but there were a lot of pretty girls,
so I stayed in. I stayed in it, and I
stayed in it for a few years because it was
fun and it was something for me to do. And honestly,
an agent reached out to me who saw one of
my like recordings from class and was like, do you
(03:33):
want to try auditioning? And I guess that there was
some fire lit under me that was like, Okay, this
could actually happen. So I auditioned a little bit and
I got and I really got into it. Started taking
a lot of classes, like more, way more classes, and
I was auditioning and I started booking a little bit
and then it kind of was like, Okay, this could
(03:55):
be the thing I want to do with the rest
of my life, and I just there. The thing that
reinnites me all the time is every time I do
an audition, I get this feeling of just like I
like I accomplished something. I get this feeling of accomplishment
and I never felt that feeling before. It's like a rush.
And whenever I act or perform, I get that feeling
(04:17):
and I feel like that's how I know that, That's
how the passion is there, and that's what I meant
to do in a way if that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
It totally makes sense, my friend, because I did. I
did Fit Great twelth grade Theater, Fit Greade twelfth Wake Wires,
So I believe me awesome I know about that. And
also the thing is when it comes to passion, like
seeing talk shows like Live with Three and Kelly and
Live three SS, Kathy Lei, the Rosie O'donnald's show, and
also Today in America Today and let Letterman lit a
(04:47):
fire out of me?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Did you how did you feel about what's his name
who got canceled Jimmy Kimmel, How did you feel about that?
In him? Coming back where you like one of the people.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It was a very it's very trouble. It was very troubling.
Definitely a sign of freedom of speech. And the thing is,
it's like if someone had my and sorry about politics people,
but if someone took my show away from me, I'd
be mad as nat.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Yeah, no, that's totally fair.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
This is your show, you know, and you've worked hard
to maintain it and build it. You don't want someone
to just snap their fingers and take it away from you.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Absolutely, Oscar and absolutely so. While r on the subject
about that so earlier this year, last month, so on
September twenty six, you surprised a lot of social media
and Challenge fandom when you sat revealed that you were
a Wookie revolution Why you decide now it was time
to indicate you were you are behind the Reality to platform.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I was always terrified to show my face on when
I was like critiquing people because I never wanted to
be too nice. When I was talking about the challenge,
I mean, I want to be nice, but I want
to be honest and if I don't like someone on
the show, I wanted to be able to say, you
know this person, I don't think is right for the show.
They had a bad performance, they weren't they have no
(06:04):
cardio or whatever. And I was always scared to show
my face with that or say who I was, because
you know, people can say whatever they want about me.
And then I started acting, and I got even more
terrified that people would be, like I could work like
I mean me for Bananas, for example, Bananas had Joel
(06:25):
McHale on this podcast. I did a movie with Joel McHale,
you know, like we're all connected in weird ways. And
I didn't want anything to affect my trajectory in my
career or anything. But then I realized you only live once,
and like I wasn't making videos as often because I
was so busy, and I really wanted to like continue
(06:47):
talking about the challenge. So I was like, why not
merge the two, not merge them, but at least give
people a way to if they were at all liked me,
a way to keep up with me. And then also
so if I want to make more videos on the challenge,
I could do it where I could show me myself,
show my face and have more of a personal connection
(07:08):
with the audience.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
It honestly was just like it seemed like the right time.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It was something I've been thinking about for a while,
but just one morning, I was just like, I'm gonna
do it, and I'm really glad I did.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I'm glad you did too. And I think a lot
of people, a lot of followers from our community and
podcasters along with some Challenge customers I believe read out
to you and I think, yeah, they did the act
dealing with that.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
It was really sweet.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I will forever love talking about this show. And you know,
I always felt like it was a secret that I
had this YouTube channel, And in a weird way, I'm like,
why is it a secret? The Challenge is amazing. I
like the channel was like I did. I put a
(07:54):
lot of work into the videos. It's something you should
be proud of and not hide. And I was like,
I don't want to hide any more. And you know,
if they if they end up merging, like like right now,
like I can talk about my acting and the Challenge
and my YouTube channel, that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
That's like a dream come true.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So yeah, absolutely, And like here's the thing that's why
I'm not just the Challenge. I've covered America Scott Talent.
I've have interviews like we're doing right now. I review
music because the thing is in the entertainment industry. It's like, basically,
if you don't want to put your you're already pitchingholing yourself.
But what in this industry can you do well? I
(08:31):
can write, I have takes. Some of them are fiery,
some of them are not. I can also and I
also have an ass of a passion for stuff like Yeah,
on Instagram I talked about DC comics, Marvel Comics, and
then also agat and a challenge and of course music,
so that those are some of my passions. And the
thing is you need to show that's where you want
(08:53):
to be, Like, for example, I would love to be
an entertainment and I correspondent. That was one of my
dream jobs. And to showcase that I've had the depth
of knowledge and not just one thing, but a whole
lot others, because in our journer for everybody, you can't
just be one. You can have the ability to be
do other stuff as well.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I completely agree, and I've actually like watched some of
your podcasts before.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I think you're doing a great thing.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I think that what you're doing is pretty much a
big audition for something bigger in a way, I'm you're
you're right, why not put yourself out there and show
yourself and what you can do?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
And that's exactly what you're doing, so I admire.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I also admire that you never pulled back your thoughts
and you'll see how you really feel. And I feel
like not a lot of people really do that, So
I like.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
That, Thank you very much, Oscar. The thing is where
I can get my like. The thing is some of
my heroes are known for not holding things back. Simon
cal Howard, Star, Sir l John, the Late and Great Missus,
Joan Rivers, Wendy Williams, they Calculate and Roseanne, those Bill Mahert,
(10:02):
those people who I like and admire, they never held back.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, and I really appreciate as a viewer that you
don't either, and I don't and I hope that you
never feel the need to, because really, we need to
be more real as a society. I mean, people are
just scared to say how they really feel and talk,
and that's why communication is so bad nowadays too, with
like kids getting younger, and it's just the thing that
(10:29):
it doesn't need to be the case because like you're
saying free speech. I mean, just say how you feel
and you know you'll be happier for it.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Absolutely. Absolutely, So we got to talk about about the
rookie Revolution. So how did you get the name of
rookie Revolution.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I was actually looking at my notepad from like twenty
nineteen or something about name ideas. I had three name
ideas I had because this was when Total Madness was airing.
I had the audacity because of Nelson, which I thought, Okay,
that doesn't make any sense. So I was gonna really
get that welcome to the Game, which I thought was
(11:08):
kind of like because everyone says welcome to the challenge,
it was like welcome to the game or welcome to
the challenge. But I thought that was kind of like
pigeonholding myself as well to just do the challenge. But
then I rewatched bout of the season's twenty twelve and
there was all this talk about a rookie revolution, right,
So I was like, that's a cool name, Like that's
(11:28):
a cool saying a rookie revolution. I was a rookie
coming into YouTube starring Something New. I wanted to make
a revolution on YouTube by being one of the only
people that talk about the challenge other than angel Cake,
and it just it kind of stuck, like it rolls
off the tongue. Well, Rookie Revolution, And after I heard that,
I was like, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
No other name is Rookie Revolution.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I think you feoth smart the thing is. And I guys,
chat out my friend you chat I angel Cake, My
dear friend Arrangement. Another one of my dear colleagues as well,
be Guess a phenomenal job. Documentaries with Car inspired me
so great. Yeah, he I gotta say Drew, he's incredible.
And guys, after you're done with our conversation with Oscar,
(12:11):
please go check out my friend Drew Angelman because he
is phenomenal with his contents.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Alan and Geary also inspired me. Drew and Allen from
like he wrote the Medium articles. They really both.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Inspired me because Drew, well, Drew was the only person
doing challenge radeos on YouTube, Like really he was, and
he really wow he does them well you know, so yeah,
totally m hm.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
And now now we got to talk about our community.
It's not just you and me, it's not just Mike,
it's not just Drew. We have to have Scott and
Derek who are like my older honorary older brother figures
when it comes to reality TV podcasting, you gotta give
my friend's page and Dylan and of course Jacob the
Challenge Historian and plus Wes and Sydney have been behind patriarch.
(13:00):
I got to give a shout out to my dear
friends John Brennan, Bess Lark and of course I have
to mention dev taxes and potassium as well as so
there is so and there is soach podcare too. Yeah,
could you have shout out to my friend here becall
as well so and I'm sorry if I overlooked them,
(13:22):
and Jacob the Child Historian. There's so many of us.
There are so many of us.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
It's growing and growing and growing so over the.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Past couple of years. So that brings us to my
next question. So, over the past several years are the
Challenge family Is podcast lane has been filled with US
commentariors and cast members. So what have been some of
the challenges in standing out in our community and how
did you overcome those obstacles.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I kind of let my challenge knowledge, which when I
get into something, I think this is someone with ADHD.
I learn everything. I get hyper fixated on it, and
I learn every niche thing, and I watched seasons a
million times. I kind of just wanted my knowledge of
the show to speak for itself. And I also wanted
(14:09):
to I wanted to just make the videos really easy
to watch and show things that people might not know,
like I have. I don't know how I got these.
I I shouldn't even be saying this. I have some
unaired stuff from the challenge on my hard drive, Like.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I think I'm a s oscar. You should hold onto
that and do not even do that because paramoun will
not be happy at you. I think burn you, or
you will not be happy at you.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
But so please, I've used them in videos before, so
you never know. I mean not unaired, but things have
aired once and then never and then I and I
ended up getting my hands on things. So it's cool
to like show perspectives of perspectives of things. And yeah,
I just wanted to make videos that were really intuitive
(14:59):
and introact active and really quick with the but had
a lot of background knowledge on them. Like if I
talk about an elimination, I want to talk about everything
that went into the elimination that wasn't seeing.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
I just want to yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I think I just wanted my knowledge of the show
to speak for itself and be editing to kind of
get people looped in and really into it. But it
was hard standing out. I mean it wasn't overnight right
like I And also every video you do you get better.
But really it's about the grind. I mean, people will
do one video and then if it doesn't do well,
(15:34):
they'll give up, right, And you know you can't do that.
You got to keep going. It's all about consistency. And
in the beginning, it was all about consistency. And I
think making your own lane is this also doing something
a bit different like with Drew he does his little
table talks.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
I didn't want to copy Drew.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Right, I wanted to make it just my own and
kind of build a separate lane.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
And you know, it's it's cool to see that it
did kind.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Of work exactly. And the thing is, and the thing
is with me because there's so many people that do well.
I came in when paul had Final in Banana's Ground,
Banana's Final Record with Paulie Devon and Navin de Garatti
were all made their appearances.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Does that probably go into the show from Big Brother.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Same.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah. So the thing is, I gotta say this, some
of the Big Brother people have delivered, some of the
people have not delivered, And I gotta say, I gotta say,
this is going to be interesting. You're this is going
to get a lot of steam. But the people from
Big Brother to me to have delivered. Paulie and I
know Peace, I know people don't like Casey, but however,
(16:44):
she was condominated. If you run We're winning Challenge for
CT you do, and yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I'd rather see someone good for the show and entertaining
and maybe a character than just win, you know what
I mean. That's why Paulie was so good, like amazing
for the show.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Polly, And I gotta say this, I was part of
people that's been screened at the top of my lungs
to get him in carback.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Really yeah, because the thing is.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
A lot of the team cringe a lot of that
because the thing was it was boring.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
It was boring because the thing is.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
With Battle, I was with this guy. I want to
see with speaking. We'll get to the We'll get to
Fred's versus New Bets. I want to see Paully and
I want to see Zach Rip the heck out of
these new veats.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
I wanted those two on this season so badly.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
It was.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
It's insane the amount of.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
People who are willing to do this show and want
to do the show, but they cast people who. I mean,
Derek Kay is great, is great, but he had an
injured foot. Why was he on this season?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I know I love Derek Kay. He's like the old
my older brother figures. So I'm not going to talk
badly about him, but like the thing.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Is, he's excellent, just this season wasn't the best one
for him to be on because of his foot.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, and shaves. I'll be happy Shane should have had
shave as the spots.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Shane should have had shave is his spot. Yeah, Shane
does bring a lot to the show. I really appreciate
a character more than just competitive ability or if you
get second place in the final you're guaranteed a spot back,
because there's a lot more to the show that you
know you need.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Like Jordan on forty.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Best best showing of any competitor of all time, maybe,
but he's so boring.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
But here's the thing, and I'm just was in awe
that Jordan's right there and they did not delimit anything.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Well, that's that was the format issue, because all the
girls wanted him to be a potential partner if there's
partner portions of a final. What I think I always
thought back to the mini final in season forty, and
what would have been such a smart move is if
Bananas let me and Maya get perge or whatever, then
purposely comes in last. Jordan has to go in because
(18:59):
it's only it was only be the two of them,
and then take his chances in the elimination because you're
not beating Jordan in the final. We if Bananas thought
that we could have gotten a Bananas versus Jordan elimination
in season forty, that would have been awesome.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, and I gotta say this, I got I gotta
say this. I would have loved to see it, justin
thought Chavez was Chaves was bad. He could have seen
Paullie and Shane that they he would be those who
would eat him up for lunch. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
No, I mean, I think Derek's a great guy, but
I don't think they like I like him personally, but
I don't think that of the limited VET spots that
were available on Vet's versus New threats. He necessarily was
the best pick because of people like Pollie and Shane
and you know, Zach. There's a lot more people who
could maybe put more fear into the New Vet than
(19:51):
the New Threats eyes.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
And I really think Jenny should have gotten involved, should
have she put in her and I gotta say it,
love Jenny.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
She would have been excellent the season.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Did she say that she was done with the show though?
Because I read that she was done.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I got she has, but she's changing her mind maybe
for all Stars, Okay, but I gotta say Jenny would
have put the fear and god a lot of ladies.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Yeah, totally, except for Sidney, because I don't think anyone
scares Sydney. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I don't think everyone's scared Sydney too. I think Sydney
has been brilliant. I gotta say this. I gotta say
this as a rookie revolution. What do you think is
this the rookie Is this a really good rookie class.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
It's a really good rookie class that was ruined by
a really mid VET class. If it was like War
of the World's won, where they really brought the best
of the best and everyone was really hungry. This could
have been one of the best seasons ever. But they
they really the Vets weren't up to par to combat
(20:52):
the rookie class and it's not fun to watch them
not be.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Scared and and not to mention the fact that they
had the vet had a lot of stuff going on.
Carl Maria was about ready to lose her mom. But
Nissa have a father.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Oh I didn't even know that.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Anissa had her father at that time. Was at that
time filming and Nissa found out about her father oh man.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Yeah, So it just it wasn't the right time for
a lot of the Vets to be on.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Look, here's the thing who I would have really thought
that would deliver for the guides, Paulie, Shay Frank Yes,
Zach oh yeah, and Jay Stare. I think this would
have been perfect for Jay Starrett because I think Jay
would have been you need a playful kind of ad banter.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
But the thing whose spot would he have taken?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Jay? Let's say that, for example, the only person I
could think of of spot he would take is like Turbo.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Turbo has been good.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
But the thing is, I think Tobo needed needed a
Paulie around. He needed Zach around.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
He needed Jay around, like to have those guys, Yeah,
it would be been a deadly combinations, right, and then
Cyrus Cyrus route. I gotta say Cyrus would have been
really good.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Do you think that Cyrus would have been able to
keep up?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Okay, I've seen that he looks really good recently. I
think Darrell is always a good choice for a season.
But again, Darrell hasn't been that much of a character.
And like we're talking about just yeah, Tony really kind
of messed up his last two opportunities. He really he
I mean, one of the times he had to go
home for a family emergency, he can't fault him for that,
(22:30):
But on a forty he really.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
He was entertaining.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I love, I love the show, but he kind of
if he's never asked back again, that's his own fault.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, and then I would have break some glass. And like,
I know this is going to be controversial. I would
have loved to see Kenny Statucci and Dean Aguin. I
know they're too to fire on the two names, but
I think those two would have.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Delivered Kenny and who the d D? Yeah, well d
they they they made their bed with her. I mean
they they can't do what they did to a season
and then bring her back after like they that just
I agree though, I think that that that that was
handled poorly. But I think that Kenny, that that is controversial.
(23:17):
I think that if they were to bring back Kenny,
it would be on and all stars to see how
the reception is. But I know if you'd even want
to do this show Kenny, I mean, that's it messed
his life up.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I know, and same with d as well. But like
the thing is those two I would do with the
fiery and like see like and like you have those
who talk about because I think headlines would be fiery
if they have Georgia polarizing names in the Challenge community,
Kenny and d come back about Georgia, Georgia, it would
be also a lot another another one as well, like
(23:52):
to if I add another controversial one right now, my
friend Davis Mallory.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yeah, he hasn't been on the show in a long time.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
But however he got a lot of people are not
happy with him because of his personal stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I saw that. I have no comment because it's a
bit ridiculous, but.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You know, yeah, I gotta say bye. Those four. I
gotta say that would have been fun to see David,
d Georgia and Kenny.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
For All Stars. I agree, maybe, but not for forty one.
I gotta disagree with you on that one.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Everyone else.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
I totally get what you mean, and I totally get
why you think that they would have been good for
the season.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Because they would have put the fear in the vat
in the new threats.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
No, I agree with you.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
They would have put the fear in the actual events too.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Yeah. Because the thing is, they're hungry and they want
and like, the thing is, there's a lot and like
they have unfinished business.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Oh yeah, Oh my god, there's so many people on
the show with unfinished business.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
They did all Thart season six. Oh. Another person that
should have been there, my friend Bet and John Brennan.
Because the thing is, they're really hungry. I see you're after.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I All Stars, Yes, but forty one. I think that
you need. I think you need the more heavy hitters.
I really do. I think that is great.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
To win a season. They can I don't know they can.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
They can if it's like but I don't know if
they could have won against this rookie class.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Oh yeah, this rookie class, but like the thing that, however,
Gabe could have easily gone on Beth's side.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yes, I just don't see Beth beating a Sydney or
John Brennan beating a year me for example, but one
and All Stars or like season you know, another season,
you know, they totally could have. I wish that season
thirty nine had more people that, like had said, could
have been like second chances, like Trey weather Holtz or
(26:03):
Dustin or Josh ty Roff. Josh ty Roff, I mean
people you haven't seen in a while. Season thirty nine
could have been a great way to reintroduce people who
are still relevant.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
And then not to mention the fact Amanda I was like,
where is Amanda?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Oh yeah, she was on forty she was on recently.
I guess that's why.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, but I think she would have really been with
thirty nine.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah, no, everybody, And I.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Was Emmanuel didn't even get a spot on forty one
because I think Emmanual will be interesting.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, no, I thought you were guaranteed a spot on
forty or forty one. Nicky won season thirty nine for
forty My Dreams era forecast.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
If I would redo it, all over again, want to
hear it?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Yes, I absolutely do.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
For Era Ford, I.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Would catch Garassio and Pauli, but brought in Jay, Joss
and Turbot for the guys. Okay, I kept Casey, but
broad into Davon broke the glass and bought that kept
Jenny and then also I would have.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Had brought amber Portosa.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
What about Kyle.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Ever since he did that to Krra. Nope, Okay, I
just think that.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Of all the era for representation, he was like the
face of Era four and it's just hard to look
past how much of an impact he had on that
era or like spots. But I get what you mean.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, but that I think that era forurcats would have
terrified that everybody.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Mm hmm. I think Davon is a really good choice.
I think that she totally should have had a spot.
I don't know if I feel like the thing is
with Davon though. If she wants a spot, she gets
a spot. I think that that's all up to her. Now.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Oh yeah, I kind of wish and I kind of
wish they had a six spot given to Emmanual since
he won and also reached the spot for that as well,
because since day won both of them there, Like, I
know that that would have been the same because Jay
would have been immediately targeted, yeah, and Paulie would have
(28:10):
had and Paulie would have had to have picked either
between Josh or Turbot.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Imagine it being a Hulbrough in the first one against
Jay vers Paulie. That'd be a really good matchup.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
That's a MEAs I would not I cannot. I would
be so devastated because both of them are my guys.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I'm just saying I think that'd be a really good
Hulebro like that'd be a really even match like it
wouldn't be like the O and Paulie where it was
completely a one sided thing. I think I think it
would have been like one of the best Haulbroughs because
they're both very similar in stature and speed.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
And had to mention they love to talk.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Uh yeah, I think it probably would have been those
two in the first elimination. Honestly, probably would have been
your worst nightmare for it really came true.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Oh yeah, and then who would have been in the
second one, hypothetically d and Jenny.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
It was a liberal, Well, it would probably Maurice Still
and if Olivia is still aired. I think it would
have gone the same way, yeah, because they still had
really fresh beef.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
And I gotta say I would have loved the Era
one seth up very Cooonbaya. I would have said Beth
and John in there to really wrong him up.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
I guess that would have been very hard for that
Era one girls because Pen and Rachel would have been on.
It been so hard for Katie because Katie Andissa would
have sided with Beth.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I think you gotta put John back on All Stars
first to see if you can think that if you
can handle it, then you put him on a regular
season be Yeah, it's bad, you know, put her on whatever.
But I think you got to soft launch people back
a little bit before.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
You put it didn't the fire.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, but if Frank in all honesty, Frank should be
on every season.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, he then Rats would have the New Threats would
have definitely been cowering behind Frank Sweeney Fox.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I think that Frank had the potential to be he
won the best of all time. I think he is
one of the best of all time. He doesn't have
a big enough sample size to really know, but every
single he's done, he's performed excellently, and like.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
He had Ashley there, he had Johnna there. He would
have definitely had Carr there, so he would have definitely
been a little bit you would.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Have been as I know that they're not that close,
but that's somewhat protection.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
And then of course Derek as well, because Derek as well,
because Scott.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, and they've done seasons together. Yeah, he would have
been well set up and a lot of females would
have wanted to be his partner. I guarantee you Sidney
would have wanted to be Frank's partner over Turbo if
Frank was there.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Oh yeah, if Frank was there, absolutely, And then also
I gotta say Adrianne and Frank would have definitely brought
the flyer.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
And same with Lecca.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
That'd be a crazy partnership Leca and Frank, that'd be
so good.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
They would have been dominating every every single thing.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I could see Frank. You know, Leka did that challenge
by herself. I could see Frank doing that challenge by
himself too.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Yeah, and and knows you's dominating.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yeah, that would have been. Oh see, that's the thing though,
It's like, why why is this not happening? Why can't
we get people like this on the show. Why can't
they listen to us a bit more instead of casting
people who I don't know. I just feel like there's.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
A lot That's why I gotta say Nanni is a
lot more exciting now that there's no vacation Alliance.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah. I agree, Nannie's brought the fire this season. I
think Nannie's actually a really good partner to have. I'm
surprised more people didn't want Nanny because I think that
Nannie works the best for the partner.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
She's almost wanted so many times.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah, Ben did a great job with Nanny. I think
Justin did a great job with Nanni.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Everyone Nanny brings out the best in partners and vice versa.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, so I gotta say this, I want to keep
I know we could talk long about the challenge, my friend,
but however, we gotta talk. We gotta move on and
talk about your latest thing about acting, because I couldnot
We we could talk. I would love to have you

one of the most genuine people in the industry.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Oh, I completely agree with you.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
But you know what's really cool about that movie is
being able to play a young Jewish teenager because you know,
that was awesome. I mean, what are the chances that
you get to be in a movie like that as
a as a Jewish kid? Right?
Speaker 1 (33:09):

I don't know, Muslim, Indian, whatever, whatever, race, whatever religion,
just be proud of it and be able to just
(34:14):

Metsva movie. I mean, how what are the chances a
Jewish kid gets I was eighteen when I did that.

kid as a Jewish kid?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
That's so cool and top of one of the biggest Jewish,
well known Jewish people in the entertainment industry.
Speaker 2 (34:44):

of the cast in that movie was Jewish. It was
really cool, like because it was just a safe place, right,
I mean, you're all the same religion, and you know
you're bar mitsvas are such a big celebration.
Speaker 4 (34:58):

Speaker 2 (34:58):
It was like every set piece on that movie was
obviously wasn't a real bummus but it felt like a
real bombs to the party and it was just everyone
coming together and everyone getting along. There was no semblance
of anti Semitism in that movie, which.

high school and going through that while growing up or
in college. I would love to do a show like that.

(35:43):
I feel like everyone wants to do that. I uh,
and obviously like the big big ambition is like playing

portraying real issues and spreading awareness of things would be
like my dream to just have someone be like I

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
