[00:04:22] How you doing, baby?

[00:04:26] Okay.

[00:04:27] Well, listen Brooke, I hate to cut your intro a little short,

[00:04:30] but I am, that's all you get today.

[00:04:33] Now don't tell Danny and Angie what I'm about to say,

[00:04:38] but my favorite, favorite, favorite, favorite, favorite.

[00:04:57] It's the purple pants.

[00:04:58] It's the purple pants.

[00:04:58] I was singing that all morning.

[00:04:59] We're singing that jam all morning.

[00:05:01] Swear to God.

[00:05:02] I love it.

[00:05:03] I feel like it's also special.

[00:05:04] You probably can't see me, but if I move my head...

[00:05:08] Okay, Lewis, okay, calendar sits right behind my head.

[00:05:13] It is the month of Lewis in the daddy calendar.

[00:05:18] My wife doesn't even have that calendar up in the house right now.

[00:05:21] I don't.

[00:05:22] How dare you, Michelle?

[00:05:23] That's what the real thing.

[00:05:24] She doesn't need the calendar.

[00:05:26] Just take your shirt off.

[00:05:27] There you go. There's her calendar in the end.

[00:05:29] With a lot of oil be the real thing.

[00:05:31] So much oil that day.

[00:05:32] Gosh, I'm such a huge...

[00:05:33] I actually know what we are doing this afternoon.

[00:05:38] Making Fridays.

[00:05:39] Exactly, yes.

[00:05:43] So I've been loving the coverage

[00:05:45] that you two have been covering on your YouTube page.

[00:05:47] First of all, shout out to your brother, Michelle,

[00:05:49] because I love your brother.

[00:05:51] I think he's so amazing.

[00:05:52] I love your recaps.

[00:05:53] How have you guys been loving this season?

[00:05:55] Yeah, we wouldn't be able to do it without Mike, honestly.

[00:05:57] Yeah, for real.

[00:05:59] Like it wasn't even our idea.

[00:06:00] Like I would have...

[00:06:01] I wouldn't even have done a podcast for our own season

[00:06:05] if Mike didn't approach us and be like,

[00:06:06] hey guys, I want to do this.

[00:06:08] And sometimes I feel like, man,

[00:06:10] this guy does so much work.

[00:06:11] He does the graphics.

[00:06:12] He does the editing.

[00:06:14] And I'm just like,

[00:06:16] man, I'm so sorry to put you through this, Mike.

[00:06:17] And he goes, no, I love this.

[00:06:19] Like he loves doing it.

[00:06:20] Shout out to Mike.

[00:06:20] And yeah, we just have some fun.

[00:06:23] We do some goofy ass stuff.

[00:06:24] We go all over the place in our podcast.

[00:06:27] We're all over.

[00:06:28] But yeah, so we try our best.

[00:06:31] Well then you're in good company

[00:06:32] because I have found that for the past several weeks

[00:06:34] I just take all of my notes

[00:06:35] and I've just been throwing them all over the place

[00:06:36] because I don't even know what we are anymore.

[00:06:39] Bryce likes to jump

[00:06:40] and I like to try and keep up with it.

[00:06:41] So that's what happens around here.

[00:06:43] So welcome.

[00:06:44] And good luck.

[00:06:45] Anna.

[00:06:47] Brooke, I got it.

[00:06:48] Lewis is the one to go all over the place.

[00:06:50] I'm like, try to hold on.

[00:06:51] Let's go.

[00:06:54] It's amazing we are almost to the end of another season

[00:06:58] and it's crazy to see.

[00:06:59] It went by way too fast.

[00:07:01] Right.

[00:07:01] I feel like it's such a short season.

[00:07:03] I'm not sure what they're doing,

[00:07:05] but I hear it ends in an amazing, great,

[00:07:08] probably the best city amazing race has ever ended in

[00:07:12] from what I'm hearing.

[00:07:14] Lewis and Michelle, do you know this?

[00:07:16] That when season 36 was 30, whatever,

[00:07:20] this one was filming,

[00:07:22] Bryce calls me and says,

[00:07:24] I think the amazing race is filming in Philadelphia.

[00:07:27] I just saw people running by.

[00:07:30] And I go, follow them.

[00:07:32] What are you doing?

[00:07:33] We had to go to work.

[00:07:36] He did not follow them.

[00:07:37] But I go, why does this ever happen?

[00:07:39] You saw them.

[00:07:40] I go stalk them and work will be there tomorrow.

[00:07:43] And he didn't.

[00:07:44] So we don't know what happened,

[00:07:46] but we could have if somebody took this podcast

[00:07:49] seriously enough.

[00:07:51] I got a little scared.

[00:07:52] I was like, I'm not sure what's happening.

[00:07:54] Is this really?

[00:07:55] And then people were watching and I call Brooke in a,

[00:07:58] but you know, work is working.

[00:08:00] You should chase them.

[00:08:01] But like, do you need my phone?

[00:08:03] Do you need my phone?

[00:08:04] How amazing would that have been if I really,

[00:08:07] there's a little part of me

[00:08:08] that thinks that you did this,

[00:08:09] but I know that you didn't.

[00:08:10] How amazing would it be if next week on TV,

[00:08:14] like I don't know,

[00:08:17] go up to Bryce and be like, can we use your phone?

[00:08:19] And you'd be like in a purple pants podcast,

[00:08:21] T-shirt ready to do it.

[00:08:24] Like that would be so crazy to me.

[00:08:26] Yes.

[00:08:27] Yeah. For sure.

[00:08:28] Bryce is wearing a purple shirt.

[00:08:30] He's wearing something purple.

[00:08:31] Absolutely.

[00:08:32] So it's easy to spot them on camera.

[00:08:34] Yeah, that's pretty.

[00:08:36] That's pretty. That's right.

[00:08:36] I forgot that.

[00:08:38] That's going to end in Philadelphia.

[00:08:39] We saw, we saw some like,

[00:08:41] mascots, we saw a bunch of mascots

[00:08:43] actually in the sneak peek.

[00:08:47] And I'm really excited about it.

[00:08:48] It's unfortunate that it's 10 episodes this season.

[00:08:52] I'm thinking because they didn't have a chance.

[00:08:55] They weren't prepared for an hour and a half episode.

[00:08:57] So they have to kind of like put the last episode

[00:09:01] into two kind of separate, you know,

[00:09:04] penultimate leg and the last leg.

[00:09:06] I think they're doing elimination

[00:09:08] prior to kind of like the last leg

[00:09:11] and just putting it all together.

[00:09:12] So I think it's going to be good.

[00:09:14] I think, I think that's probably best

[00:09:16] because if not the episode is going to lag a bit.

[00:09:17] So I think they did a good job.

[00:09:19] They had, they had to do it pretty much.

[00:09:21] It has been confirmed for me

[00:09:23] that only three teams will cross the finish line,

[00:09:25] which makes me very happy

[00:09:26] because if they change it and made it four,

[00:09:28] I would kind of think that was a little bit.

[00:09:30] Which is, which has happened only once,

[00:09:32] I think in the history, four teams to the finale.

[00:09:34] Four teams? Oh, it's happened more four teams

[00:09:36] than they had in the finale.

[00:09:38] Like 26, I think they eliminated a team partway

[00:09:42] through Rachelle and Mike, Mike and Rachelle.

[00:09:45] The blind date season,

[00:09:46] they eliminated a team partway from the finale.

[00:09:48] But I don't think four teams

[00:09:49] have ever actually crossed the finish line.

[00:09:52] Yeah, I think you're right.

[00:09:53] Someone will correct me because without fail,

[00:09:55] somebody who knows more than I do,

[00:09:57] even though I feel like I know a lot

[00:09:58] will go in the comments and be like,

[00:10:00] here's where you're wrong.

[00:10:01] And I like that.

[00:10:03] Bringing out the receipts.

[00:10:06] Me and Michelle are like,

[00:10:08] we think Lewis is like,

[00:10:10] Brooke is like, I think four or five.

[00:10:11] Okay.

[00:10:12] I love that.

[00:10:13] I mean, we had Corey here and Corey's like,

[00:10:16] so here are the statistics.

[00:10:18] He did his homework.

[00:10:19] He made me look like I had never seen the show

[00:10:21] before in my life.

[00:10:23] Yes.

[00:10:24] Polarious.

[00:10:25] Yes.

[00:10:25] Yes.

[00:10:26] Yeah, shout out to Corey.

[00:10:28] Yeah, he always brings the numbers whenever he.

[00:10:30] Actually, this is how great Corey is.

[00:10:32] So Corey and I didn't screenshot it.

[00:10:34] So I have to go back into my messages,

[00:10:36] sent Bryce and I a statistic that said,

[00:10:40] good for your next recap.

[00:10:42] Oh, you put it back, you're putting it out.

[00:10:44] No matter how Ricky and Sacer do in the last two legs,

[00:10:47] they are guaranteed to break the record

[00:10:49] for the best average placement on the US version

[00:10:52] of the amazing race.

[00:10:53] So Corey's here, everybody's not here.

[00:10:56] And thank you for that.

[00:10:57] And I'm saying it doesn't matter how you do

[00:10:59] as long as you finish first in the last leg.

[00:11:02] I agree.

[00:11:03] I agree.

[00:11:04] And we did not.

[00:11:07] I'm just, this season, I hate to say it

[00:11:10] because as a racer, I wouldn't want to hear podcasts saying this,

[00:11:14] but I hate that it's been so predictable.

[00:11:18] And since it's been hour and a half episodes,

[00:11:22] but there isn't enough challenges,

[00:11:24] like there's times where I feel like

[00:11:26] it's lagging a little bit, like dragging.

[00:11:29] I mean, there have been several episodes

[00:11:30] where you can watch the first five minutes

[00:11:32] and see who starts in what order,

[00:11:33] and then they finish in the exact same way.

[00:11:35] There's not enough coaching.

[00:11:36] There's not enough, I mean, U-turns

[00:11:38] would have made such a big difference this season

[00:11:40] as far as I'm concerned.

[00:11:42] I love Ricky and Sacer, big fan, huge fan.

[00:11:45] But it would have been nice to see some other teams

[00:11:48] have the ability to mess with their race a little bit

[00:11:51] because that's part of the game.

[00:11:52] And it's just a part that didn't exist this time around.

[00:11:55] So I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Bryce.

[00:11:57] I'm to the point where I want to see Ricky

[00:11:59] and Sacer just win.

[00:12:00] Not happy.

[00:12:02] I'm enjoying watching a team of such dominance

[00:12:06] and a team that hasn't had a bump in the road.

[00:12:09] Like this is crazy where we're watching.

[00:12:11] So if you guys want to go back,

[00:12:13] go back in the day where Michael Jordan was hooping,

[00:12:16] now we can't see that live anymore.

[00:12:18] You guys got to enjoy this

[00:12:19] because you're not going to see it anymore.

[00:12:21] I'm telling you, I know you guys

[00:12:22] want to see changes in the groups.

[00:12:24] You want to see other teams succeed,

[00:12:26] but this is history that we're watching.

[00:12:28] For them to not even land in third place

[00:12:31] in a single leg, not once.

[00:12:33] Their lowest leg is second place.

[00:12:36] This is greatness that we're watching.

[00:12:38] So, and it's only one episode left.

[00:12:41] And I love the fact that it's two gay men doing it.

[00:12:43] I think that it's like so amazing to see.

[00:12:46] And so for me, seeing members of my community

[00:12:49] like crush it like that, it really means a lot to me.

[00:12:51] Now, in that same breath.

[00:12:53] Hold on, because I feel like they're also part

[00:12:54] of my community, which is the community

[00:12:56] of people who don't work out a lot.

[00:12:58] And the community of people who enjoy like food

[00:13:03] and they're in shape, don't get me wrong,

[00:13:06] they are in shape, but like, you know,

[00:13:10] these are not two bodybuilder, they're not two rods.

[00:13:14] This is two more average physicality people

[00:13:19] who are real and it just shows.

[00:13:21] You don't need to be the fastest or the strongest,

[00:13:23] but they know the game and they're very smart.

[00:13:25] And I love that about the amazing race

[00:13:27] because I was that.

[00:13:29] I mean, that's just not the strongest,

[00:13:32] but I think that's great.

[00:13:34] It shows that anybody can do it

[00:13:36] and that the race is made for like all people.

[00:13:38] Yes, and we'll talk about,

[00:13:40] I guess when we get to the baseball task,

[00:13:43] but like just because you're not like crazy

[00:13:46] in shape and muscles doesn't mean you're not athletic.

[00:13:48] These guys are athletic.

[00:13:50] Like for them to do what they did in that task,

[00:13:53] like Ricky, yo.

[00:13:55] First of all, Ricky pissed me off this episode.

[00:13:57] Oh, come on.

[00:13:58] Because, all right, so we can,

[00:14:00] Ricky pissed me off because Seiza has been

[00:14:05] so good at everything, right?

[00:14:07] First of all, I say on this podcast

[00:14:09] that Ricky and Seiza are not human.

[00:14:11] I don't care what nobody say,

[00:14:12] like they are some like mutants

[00:14:15] that like are good at everything.

[00:14:17] But in this episode, I'm not gonna lie.

[00:14:19] I was like, oh, Ricky, I mean,

[00:14:21] Ricky gonna struggle a little bit

[00:14:23] and I meant Ricky got up to that thing and said,

[00:14:25] well, I said it took around 14 tries.

[00:14:31] That's the best part of this episode.

[00:14:33] I'm sorry, Ricky is like,

[00:14:35] I played little league once, like when I was in talks

[00:14:38] and he gets up there first try, first try

[00:14:40] and maybe like third try, super fast.

[00:14:42] Then of course they show Rod me like,

[00:14:44] I was being scouted by the Red Sox.

[00:14:46] I was being scouted by the Yankees.

[00:14:49] I'm no promise to baseball.

[00:14:51] And then he gets up there.

[00:14:53] I love Rod.

[00:14:54] I think Rod, for Lewis and Michelle who don't know,

[00:14:56] I think Rod, if he wasn't a pro footballer

[00:14:59] would be the best cheerleader.

[00:15:01] I love his attitude.

[00:15:02] I love his like sparkle.

[00:15:04] I love with Tisha too.

[00:15:05] They're both so like, they're just joyful.

[00:15:08] Yeah, they are.

[00:15:09] I love them.

[00:15:10] But just that was just beauty in editing to me

[00:15:12] for one person to be like, I hit a ball once.

[00:15:14] I played stick ball when I was a kid

[00:15:16] one time here or there.

[00:15:17] And then the other ones would be like,

[00:15:19] I could have been this, I was that.

[00:15:21] And then he's like, they're just flying by him.

[00:15:24] And their relationship is so funny

[00:15:26] because after you get a shot of Leticia saying,

[00:15:29] oh yeah, he always says he's good at things,

[00:15:33] but he's really not.

[00:15:34] Yeah.

[00:15:35] He hit a ball hitting the cage and was that his ball?

[00:15:38] She's like, yep, that was his ball.

[00:15:41] They're so great.

[00:15:42] OK, sorry.

[00:15:43] Sorry, Robert.

[00:15:44] No, I loved it.

[00:15:45] And I just feel like although I agree with you, Michelle,

[00:15:48] right, I feel like the season has lagged a little bit

[00:15:50] just because Ricky and Cesar have been in first place

[00:15:53] or second.

[00:15:54] But what I am excited about the final teams that we have,

[00:15:58] I really feel like anything could happen with these teams

[00:16:02] that we have.

[00:16:03] Juan and Shane are hella strong as long

[00:16:06] as they don't have to cut an avocado.

[00:16:08] They're in it.

[00:16:09] You know, Rod and Chi Chi are very, very strong.

[00:16:13] You know, Amber and Vinny, if they could, you know,

[00:16:16] get on the page, just one together, they could kill it.

[00:16:21] So it's like I do love the fact that we have teams

[00:16:23] that can win.

[00:16:26] I have a little bone to pick with Vinny this episode.

[00:16:28] And you know me, I have been defensive because editing is real

[00:16:32] and we don't know what was said and not shown

[00:16:34] and so on and so forth.

[00:16:35] But when we get to the second note,

[00:16:38] whatever the seeds and the trees

[00:16:41] and the climate of the trees thing,

[00:16:43] I have a bone to pick because I really feel

[00:16:46] like they broke a rule.

[00:16:47] So I'll pick two, but let's get it.

[00:16:49] Okay, okay.

[00:16:50] Sorry.

[00:16:52] I have like 10 pages of notes.

[00:16:54] We'll use one page.

[00:16:54] I'm sure and then I'll throw them all out

[00:16:56] because this is what's a phenomenon.

[00:16:58] Okay.

[00:16:59] So we have the final five teams.

[00:17:00] They're in Barbados.

[00:17:01] They're going to the Dominican Republic.

[00:17:03] Another country the race has never been to.

[00:17:05] I love the Dominican Republic.

[00:17:06] I think Michelle and Louis,

[00:17:07] you were saying you've been to the Dominican Republic too.

[00:17:09] Super beautiful.

[00:17:11] We actually did the same thing that they did,

[00:17:15] which is crazy.

[00:17:17] We went on a cruise with actually we went with James

[00:17:21] and some other people from reality TV

[00:17:24] and we jumped off the same ledge

[00:17:28] that they've just planned the whole thing.

[00:17:31] Yes.

[00:17:32] Yes.

[00:17:33] It was such an amazing cruise.

[00:17:34] And then, but that water was not as clean

[00:17:36] when we went inside.

[00:17:37] I had so much diarrhea afterwards for like days.

[00:17:41] It was a lot of us.

[00:17:44] No, it was a lot of us that was bad.

[00:17:46] You guys do not know how to close your mouth when you jump.

[00:17:48] Whatever.

[00:17:49] We're drunk going down the waterfalls,

[00:17:52] but it wasn't just me.

[00:17:53] It was a lot of people that had mixed up stomachs afterwards.

[00:17:56] But anyway, still beautiful falls.

[00:17:58] But we were there.

[00:17:59] It's crazy to see because we did that trail to go up

[00:18:03] and it was pretty long.

[00:18:05] It was a long trip.

[00:18:05] You don't really get to experience

[00:18:07] how far people run on the race.

[00:18:10] Because you see it quick on TV,

[00:18:12] but sometimes it's miles that we have to run.

[00:18:16] There was a during our season of the race,

[00:18:18] it was said to us that we would run a marathon's length

[00:18:22] every third day if you didn't get lost at all

[00:18:26] and nobody didn't get lost at all.

[00:18:28] So like it's so much more running

[00:18:29] than people ever say or walking or crying.

[00:18:32] If you're me, whatever.

[00:18:33] It's fine.

[00:18:36] Shout out to Steele by the way,

[00:18:38] who when he was running with Juan,

[00:18:40] Juan was like, he's still right there.

[00:18:42] He's doing perfectly.

[00:18:43] That's super impressive.

[00:18:44] So but also shout out to Bonajie.

[00:18:46] Oh and shout out to I think it's Melissa.

[00:18:49] Melissa that stayed with Rod.

[00:18:50] Stayed with Rod.

[00:18:51] I was like, where was this?

[00:18:52] You're the whole competition.

[00:18:54] I love this.

[00:18:55] This was her best episode.

[00:18:56] I love them.

[00:18:57] And to hear that she was there

[00:18:59] and had done this before

[00:19:00] when she was protecting the vice prize.

[00:19:02] Like she's so badass.

[00:19:03] Like I'm just such a fan of that team.

[00:19:07] I'm so sad they went home.

[00:19:08] Did love that this was the first time

[00:19:11] I can remember ever

[00:19:12] at the amazing race did a little like post script

[00:19:15] and told us that since the race

[00:19:17] they've moved in together

[00:19:17] and they had a baby like a week before the show premieres.

[00:19:20] So that's so lovely.

[00:19:21] I love that for them.

[00:19:22] Yeah, that was a beautiful clip.

[00:19:23] And Melissa is such a badass

[00:19:24] that she also went through a pregnancy.

[00:19:26] Like, like she said, I'll do the pregnancy.

[00:19:29] Like that's great.

[00:19:29] That's really cool.

[00:19:30] That's really cool.

[00:19:31] Love them.

[00:19:32] Okay, sorry.

[00:19:33] So sorry Bryce.

[00:19:34] This is what happens.

[00:19:35] I don't know.

[00:19:36] Okay.

[00:19:37] So group one leaves at 845 obviously it's Ricky and Cesar

[00:19:40] because who else would it be?

[00:19:41] And it's one Shane.

[00:19:42] They have to look through the jungle for the clue.

[00:19:46] They run through the jungle like two miles.

[00:19:48] Cesar was happy he could like see Juan the whole time

[00:19:51] and they get to this roadblock

[00:19:52] which says who can see the writing on the wall

[00:19:55] and they have to go canyoning

[00:19:56] where Lewis and Michelle apparently did that canyoning.

[00:19:59] I hope they didn't drink the water

[00:20:01] or the next episode they will be kooky.

[00:20:04] And they had to find these 10 stones

[00:20:06] which and I did them after the facts

[00:20:08] and Bryce I'm gonna say it right now

[00:20:11] because this whole season I've been saying

[00:20:12] these tasks are so easy, these tasks are trash.

[00:20:14] It's not the consistent fault

[00:20:16] but I did not like the task.

[00:20:17] This was the best task of the season.

[00:20:21] Hands down, no question.

[00:20:24] It was not easy.

[00:20:26] It was attention to detail.

[00:20:28] The stones had two sides

[00:20:29] with tiny tiny little changes on them.

[00:20:32] I loved this task.

[00:20:35] This was my favorite.

[00:20:37] That's what she did.

[00:20:38] I agree.

[00:20:39] How do you think you,

[00:20:40] how do you think you Lewis and Michelle

[00:20:43] would have done on this task?

[00:20:44] Who would have done it?

[00:20:45] I think it would have been Michelle.

[00:20:47] Anything that involves like adventure, canyoning,

[00:20:50] heights, that would have been her and she would have.

[00:20:53] And memory too because I think

[00:20:55] well you know well you would have known it was memory.

[00:20:57] But someone mentioned it when they opened the clue

[00:21:01] that it was something of memory.

[00:21:02] How would they know?

[00:21:03] I don't know.

[00:21:04] It's just whatever.

[00:21:05] But yeah, she would have.

[00:21:08] How would they know?

[00:21:09] How would they know?

[00:21:10] They can't know.

[00:21:11] It's just one sentence.

[00:21:12] But she would have killed this.

[00:21:14] She would have done great.

[00:21:16] I loved the fact, Brooke, how you said it was difficult

[00:21:19] and how it was double-sided

[00:21:20] and just little attention to detail

[00:21:23] where you had to remember like

[00:21:24] where the eyeball was on which side of the rock

[00:21:27] and that was really good.

[00:21:29] I really enjoyed this task.

[00:21:31] And I wish kind of the teams didn't team up

[00:21:34] or maybe would have teamed up against Ricky and Cesar.

[00:21:37] Well, because I'm an equal opportunity person,

[00:21:40] I will have a little bit of a gripe with Cesar this time

[00:21:43] because if you agree to work with somebody,

[00:21:46] I'm gonna say it.

[00:21:47] If you agree to work with somebody,

[00:21:49] I like that he went over and he's like

[00:21:51] this one doesn't have a tail, this, this.

[00:21:52] He did what he could.

[00:21:53] But I feel that since they had an agreement

[00:21:57] to work together and Melissa gave him several symbols

[00:22:01] that he did not create.

[00:22:02] You can look at me all you want like that, right?

[00:22:03] I'm not gonna change what I'm saying.

[00:22:04] She gave him several symbols that he didn't see.

[00:22:07] He should have waited to make sure she got it.

[00:22:09] It was been 10 seconds.

[00:22:10] Just agree.

[00:22:11] That's fine, but they agreed to work together.

[00:22:14] Nope.

[00:22:14] I wouldn't that way.

[00:22:15] If I would have never done this in fifth grade,

[00:22:20] I'm cheating off of Michael's chest for multiplication.

[00:22:27] It's not Michael's job to wait for me to get,

[00:22:31] I gotta get it where I fit in.

[00:22:33] I'm not the Michael.

[00:22:36] Brooke, he can't, he says I can't hold her hand

[00:22:38] during the test.

[00:22:39] I think he said enough.

[00:22:40] I'm sorry, they agreed to work.

[00:22:43] They agreed to team up for the task.

[00:22:44] Let me ask you a question, bro.

[00:22:46] Let me ask you a question, bro.

[00:22:47] Yes.

[00:22:48] Do you have the same energy for Shane and Rod?

[00:22:54] Yes.

[00:22:55] Because they left God.

[00:22:56] Yes, I do.

[00:22:57] Yes, I do.

[00:22:57] Although the difference between the one and Rod situation

[00:23:02] and the Cesar and Melissa situation

[00:23:05] was that they showed it.

[00:23:06] Maybe one and Rod had this conversation too,

[00:23:10] which didn't make the air,

[00:23:11] but Melissa and Cesar went through it together

[00:23:14] multiple times and she was like, this is here.

[00:23:16] This is there.

[00:23:17] And Cesar's like, oh, I didn't see that one, whatever.

[00:23:20] I'm just saying he did 99% of what he should have

[00:23:23] where he's like, this one didn't have a tail

[00:23:25] that all the eyes are on the left.

[00:23:26] He did the right thing.

[00:23:27] But if you agree to work with somebody

[00:23:31] and you agree to get it together and work together,

[00:23:34] okay, that's fine.

[00:23:35] You're racing for $10.

[00:23:41] I think that is an example of the perfect way

[00:23:43] to help someone.

[00:23:44] You help them enough where it's not like,

[00:23:47] oh, they just sold me out,

[00:23:49] but you don't give them the clue.

[00:23:51] They, you gotta go.

[00:23:52] You gotta keep going.

[00:23:53] That's why they're waiting first place.

[00:23:55] Because if your gripe really should be with,

[00:23:58] it was Melissa that did it, right?

[00:24:00] Your gripe should have been with Melissa.

[00:24:01] Yes.

[00:24:02] If I'm Melissa and we going back through that water,

[00:24:05] I'm not gonna tell you about the squiggly line

[00:24:07] that I see to the left.

[00:24:08] I'm like, that wasn't my stuff.

[00:24:10] Yeah, I'm working with you,

[00:24:11] but I'm gonna help you, help you.

[00:24:13] What I also think Cesar could have done

[00:24:16] is let Melissa walk over to his thing

[00:24:18] and say take 10 seconds, look at this

[00:24:20] and then cover it up with the palm again and go.

[00:24:22] Maybe he didn't need to wait for her that way,

[00:24:24] but he even said when they got in the car,

[00:24:26] I think they're right behind us.

[00:24:27] I hope they're right behind us.

[00:24:28] Also, I think he knew that there were teams

[00:24:31] that were placing higher and if he's gonna help a team,

[00:24:33] he's not gonna help a team

[00:24:34] that's consistently coming in second.

[00:24:36] He's gonna help a team that's consistently coming

[00:24:37] in the bottom, because next week

[00:24:38] he wants to go up against them

[00:24:40] instead of a wanted Shane.

[00:24:41] So that's fine.

[00:24:42] Agreed, disagree.

[00:24:43] Everybody else is wrong.

[00:24:45] That's okay.

[00:24:45] I also think he also knows

[00:24:47] that they have an alliance already.

[00:24:49] The three remaining teams, Rod and Tessia,

[00:24:52] wanted Shane and have always been working together.

[00:24:54] And Rod wanted Shane.

[00:24:56] We're Amber.

[00:24:56] And Amber, but yeah, so I,

[00:24:59] but shout out to Amber.

[00:25:00] She did it all by herself.

[00:25:01] Yeah, Amber.

[00:25:02] Shout out to Amber.

[00:25:03] But you know what they didn't show in this episode

[00:25:05] that I feel like should be acknowledged?

[00:25:07] Although this challenge was really, really,

[00:25:09] really, really hard,

[00:25:10] I've never played the amazing race before.

[00:25:12] So it's like, I can't actually say,

[00:25:14] but I know if Anthony and Bailey were out here,

[00:25:19] Anthony and this would have been

[00:25:21] Bailey's challenge to get.

[00:25:23] Bailey would have been so great at this one.

[00:25:25] I gotta go.

[00:25:26] Hang up on me.

[00:25:27] Every week, Bryce just this.

[00:25:30] Just the stuff.

[00:25:31] Just the stuff.

[00:25:33] You know what I think you're right, Bryce.

[00:25:34] I do.

[00:25:35] I think this is based on what I know

[00:25:37] of Anthony and Bailey

[00:25:38] and how well they did on the episodes that they were on.

[00:25:41] I think this would have been

[00:25:43] the moment where Bailey shined.

[00:25:45] I think this would have been

[00:25:47] the first place for sure.

[00:25:48] I feel like that this would have been a great edit

[00:25:50] of them going, oh, what do we do?

[00:25:52] And then this world starts spinning.

[00:25:55] Oh, which one?

[00:25:57] And then they get it immediately.

[00:26:00] And it is so good.

[00:26:01] Oh my God.

[00:26:02] Shout out to Bailey,

[00:26:03] who made a little comment on our thing saying,

[00:26:06] I heartfelt apologies to Bailey.

[00:26:09] I know I have a little bit of fun at your expense.

[00:26:11] You too were a joy to watch.

[00:28:52] See website for details.

[00:28:56] I know I'm jumping all over the place, right?

[00:28:58] But I have a great with production this season, right?

[00:29:02] First of all, episode three, all the boat's not working.

[00:29:07] OK?

[00:29:08] You mess Danny and Angie up by getting them on a wrong boat.

[00:29:11] Then last episode, you had a production team off at Happy Hour.

[00:29:15] For me, like, how you have taxis.

[00:29:20] And I know I'm kind of jumping all over the place,

[00:29:22] but I just want to remember my anger.

[00:29:23] How you have a taxi driver?

[00:29:25] They don't know where you go in.

[00:29:29] But sidebar, but sidebar to sidebar.

[00:29:31] The taxi driver that didn't know where he was going,

[00:29:33] he could have got me lost, OK?

[00:29:35] Then he was out, OK?

[00:29:37] In the block.

[00:29:38] Do whatever you want to do.

[00:29:39] But what's your opinion as racers?

[00:29:41] If y'all had a taxi driver, and I'm not talking tuttuts

[00:29:44] because, you know, tuttuttutt drivers

[00:29:45] is something different.

[00:29:46] A taxi driver.

[00:29:49] Yes.

[00:29:50] So here's your.

[00:29:51] No, so we had, OK, so we had we did mostly self-driving

[00:29:55] our season, which is something that I feel like people

[00:29:58] don't give us enough credit for because we had 10 self-driving

[00:30:01] legs in a season, which people only have two or three.

[00:30:04] Did you get lost?

[00:30:05] Oh, not.

[00:30:06] I mean, did we?

[00:30:08] I mean, it's not a matter of if we got lost.

[00:30:10] It's when you get lost and you got to fix it.

[00:30:12] But but here's the thing about what's going on in this season,

[00:30:15] right?

[00:30:15] So it's a COVID season.

[00:30:16] And the times that we had a driver,

[00:30:19] it was just get in and go like it was just in Jordan, right?

[00:30:22] Only in Jordan.

[00:30:23] Yeah, Jordan.

[00:30:24] In Jordan because that's the only place we couldn't drive.

[00:30:26] So I feel like that's happening here.

[00:30:28] They're having more taxis.

[00:30:29] And that's what's happening here where you just get in

[00:30:31] and they already know where they're going.

[00:30:33] But it looks like these taxis were like old school amazing

[00:30:36] race where they didn't know where they were going.

[00:30:38] And they were just my guess.

[00:30:41] They're still in that racing COVID mode.

[00:30:43] They just get in here, we're going here.

[00:30:45] And the taxi driver is like, I don't know where that is.

[00:30:47] So they should have, Bryce, it's not the taxi driver

[00:30:51] or the taxi driver.

[00:30:52] They don't have a GPS memorized in their head.

[00:30:54] You have to, as a racer, you have to ask them,

[00:30:57] do you know where this is at?

[00:30:59] So I think that's where the trickery came in

[00:31:01] from production.

[00:31:02] Like, oh.

[00:31:02] But I like that.

[00:31:03] I like that.

[00:31:04] Because I like that.

[00:31:06] I do because then you just, you have to,

[00:31:10] this is why Rick and Cesar are getting first.

[00:31:12] What did they do?

[00:31:13] They asked them right away, do you know where you're going?

[00:31:17] They double checked.

[00:31:18] They double checked.

[00:31:19] Do you know where this is at?

[00:31:20] I'm sure the person didn't know they would have switched.

[00:31:22] Taxi drivers, they nailed it.

[00:31:25] Once again, we're watching greatness everybody.

[00:31:28] This is Michael Jordan in his prime, bro.

[00:31:30] I'm sorry.

[00:31:32] I gotta blame the taxi driver.

[00:31:34] I'm sorry.

[00:31:34] If you are a taxi driver, I think A,

[00:31:37] it's your responsibility to know where things are

[00:31:39] in your city.

[00:31:40] Know where you're going.

[00:31:41] But even if you don't know where you're going,

[00:31:44] I'm fine with that.

[00:31:45] Even if you don't know where you're going,

[00:31:47] don't just start driving.

[00:31:48] This is the Indian Amber Special.

[00:31:49] This happened to us and several teams

[00:31:52] in, happened to us in Vietnam.

[00:31:54] It happened to other teams.

[00:31:55] I remember it happened to Tara and Joey.

[00:31:56] There was a clip on our season of Joey being like,

[00:32:00] do you know where you're going?

[00:32:00] And he goes, yes, yes, yes.

[00:32:02] And Joey's like, do you know,

[00:32:03] and asked some ridiculous questions.

[00:32:04] Yeah.

[00:32:05] Yes, yes.

[00:32:06] And sometimes they just don't know

[00:32:08] what they tell you they do.

[00:32:09] And if your driver says, I know,

[00:32:12] and you just, I'm gonna believe you

[00:32:14] because you say, you know.

[00:32:15] And then ultimately, yes, make them pull over.

[00:32:18] But their driver, they passed the gas station

[00:32:21] and they're like, let us get out.

[00:32:23] And the driver just didn't stop.

[00:32:24] Like I would have been less nice.

[00:32:29] I would have lost my mind on this driver

[00:32:32] because just to drive for the sake of driving, that's not.

[00:32:35] There was two taxi drivers that did that, right?

[00:32:37] I think there was two taxi drivers.

[00:32:38] Was there somebody else that too?

[00:32:40] Rod and Chief.

[00:32:40] Rod and Chief.

[00:32:41] Rod immediately was like, no.

[00:32:43] But with Vinny and Amber's, he could key drive.

[00:32:45] I'm sorry.

[00:32:46] I'm sorry.

[00:32:47] Yeah.

[00:32:51] All right, where are we at now, Bruce?

[00:32:53] We're disagreeing a lot today.

[00:32:54] I love you.

[00:32:55] And I love you.

[00:32:56] I love you.

[00:32:59] 26 minutes in.

[00:33:00] Group two leaves at nine o'clock in the morning.

[00:33:02] And that's the rest of the teams altogether.

[00:33:05] Rod and LaFisha, Vinny and Amber,

[00:33:07] whose edit is just trash.

[00:33:08] Like I just feel so badly for them and their edit.

[00:33:13] But then you hear Amber saying like,

[00:33:16] I just need to listen to him.

[00:33:17] I need to not be so hard headed.

[00:33:19] She's too hard on herself.

[00:33:20] I don't know.

[00:33:21] I feel like Amber,

[00:33:24] they both have a lot of things to work with.

[00:33:26] Right, but I understand how Amber later in the episode

[00:33:29] is like told you, I knew this.

[00:33:30] Cause like, I feel like she's constantly being told

[00:33:33] that when she's wrong.

[00:33:34] And I understand the instinct

[00:33:36] to when you are finally right to be like, see, I knew.

[00:33:38] I knew.

[00:33:39] Like, and I don't think she's trying to be annoying about it,

[00:33:42] but I think that's how she's being edited.

[00:33:43] So I feel for her in that situation.

[00:33:48] The amazing race brings the worst out of couples at times.

[00:33:51] And what's crazy is like,

[00:33:53] Bryce, if you watch old school amazing race

[00:33:56] every season has four couples that are worse

[00:34:00] than Amber and Vinny's edit.

[00:34:03] Like it's cringy back in the day.

[00:34:06] Like it was ugly watching couples race.

[00:34:08] And now Amber and Vinny compared to couples back in the day

[00:34:11] they were not that bad, but yes,

[00:34:13] they both have things to work on.

[00:34:18] I blame the race.

[00:34:19] I think out of this hectic environment,

[00:34:23] they're fine, they're great people.

[00:34:25] But I have to give it to,

[00:34:27] I think Vinny had a better leg today

[00:34:30] when it came to like self control

[00:34:32] because I think for me watching Amber this episode,

[00:34:35] she was the one kind of like digging in.

[00:34:37] Like, I told you this,

[00:34:38] what are you doing climbing that tree?

[00:34:39] You have to use this, get down from the tree there.

[00:34:42] And I was just,

[00:34:43] I was a little impatient with Amber this episode.

[00:34:45] I was a little patient with Vinny.

[00:34:46] Why are you in that damn tree?

[00:34:47] If you don't just shake it and let's go.

[00:34:50] You take it 20 minutes.

[00:34:52] Okay, it's time, forget it.

[00:34:53] Here's my break.

[00:34:55] If you have a tool to use as task,

[00:34:58] you should have to use the tool in the task.

[00:35:00] You don't get to climb the tree.

[00:35:02] Also side note Bryce,

[00:35:03] I heard from the racers who I watched this,

[00:35:05] this like orchard,

[00:35:07] I don't know what you call it was infested with spiders.

[00:35:10] Everyone was getting spider bites.

[00:35:12] Apparently Vinny was covered because he climbed.

[00:35:14] I would have quit.

[00:35:16] I would have been like at the mat being like,

[00:35:18] bring me the pods.

[00:35:19] I will crack them open and do all of that.

[00:35:21] I am a debilitating fear of spiders.

[00:35:23] And this would not have been it for me.

[00:35:25] Apparently Vinny especially

[00:35:26] because he was all up there in the trees

[00:35:28] being Tarzan got destroyed.

[00:35:32] But if you have a tool, you should have to use the tool.

[00:35:34] I think it's cheating.

[00:35:36] I don't like it.

[00:35:37] And he broke a tree.

[00:35:39] Like that's just disrespectful

[00:35:40] to the location that you're in.

[00:35:42] Well, do you have the same gripe?

[00:35:46] For who?

[00:35:47] With Vinny as Rod

[00:35:49] because Rod was just up there,

[00:35:52] and they was just thousands of them coming down.

[00:35:55] Okay.

[00:35:55] Rod is using his eight foot seven advantage

[00:36:00] because he just was like, look,

[00:36:02] they all broke again.

[00:36:03] At least they brought the tool with them.

[00:36:04] I don't know.

[00:36:05] They at least had the tool.

[00:36:06] Leticia had the tool.

[00:36:08] I don't know.

[00:36:09] Fine. I have the same gripe.

[00:36:11] Oh, we lost.

[00:36:13] Are you guys here?

[00:36:14] Yes, hold on.

[00:36:15] I don't know.

[00:36:16] I don't know.

[00:36:17] Thank you.

[00:36:18] Because had that same issue with Rod

[00:36:19] because Rod was just not.

[00:36:21] Okay.

[00:36:21] Are you?

[00:36:22] I'll have the same issue with Rod.

[00:36:24] I got no problems,

[00:36:25] but at least Leticia had the tool in her hand.

[00:36:28] They left Vinny and Amber left the tool by the mat

[00:36:31] and was like, we don't need this.

[00:36:32] I'm just going to climb the tree and do it myself.

[00:36:34] I don't like that

[00:36:35] because then Amber is not even participating.

[00:36:37] At least bring the tool and try and help.

[00:36:38] I'm a...

[00:36:40] I'm a city of Amber.

[00:36:41] I appreciate them.

[00:36:42] They're good sports.

[00:36:43] They're making fun of themselves.

[00:36:45] And like online,

[00:36:46] I appreciate their take on it all.

[00:36:50] I don't appreciate the climbing into the tree

[00:36:53] and breaking things on somebody else's property.

[00:36:55] But that's just...

[00:36:56] It should have been,

[00:36:57] you have to use the tool

[00:37:00] or you'll get a penalty or those coconuts don't count.

[00:37:02] Yeah, absolutely.

[00:37:03] I feel like that's what a little controversy of it is.

[00:37:06] Like people think that they should have gotten a penalty

[00:37:09] for not using the tool.

[00:37:10] No, production makes the rules.

[00:37:11] It's up to production.

[00:37:12] Yeah, but I'm saying like...

[00:37:13] Production should have said

[00:37:14] you have to use a site.

[00:37:16] But that's what it said in the clue.

[00:37:18] Come on Michelle.

[00:37:18] I don't think it said that.

[00:37:21] It would have said...

[00:37:23] No, it should have said it.

[00:37:25] We were talking about it on another podcast.

[00:37:27] Then it should say...

[00:37:28] It did say you have to use the tool.

[00:37:31] I got the clue right here, Lewis.

[00:37:33] And I said you have to use the tool.

[00:37:35] Michelle, you write.

[00:37:37] Exactly.

[00:37:38] But I'm just...

[00:37:39] I'm one of those people that on the race,

[00:37:41] it says certain rules

[00:37:43] and I feel like you have to follow the exact rules.

[00:37:48] Yeah, my gripe with Vinny is

[00:37:49] I'm not even mad that you climb in the tree.

[00:37:51] Just climb the tree that got the coconuts.

[00:37:53] You climb the tree and only one is coming down.

[00:37:57] Climb on the tree.

[00:37:58] I'm not a fool.

[00:38:00] He's like, oh my God, a coconut way high.

[00:38:02] Get to climb a tree now.

[00:38:03] All right, let me just...

[00:38:04] Look what I can do.

[00:38:05] Yeah, I mean, and then shout out them

[00:38:07] to Melissa and Yvonne who when they see Juan

[00:38:09] and Shane doing it are like,

[00:38:10] ooh, they're in a place lousy with the pods.

[00:38:12] We're just gonna go over there and start taking them.

[00:38:14] And I love that.

[00:38:15] They were like, oh, that one's ours.

[00:38:17] That one's ours.

[00:38:17] We're just gonna take this one.

[00:38:20] They were so great.

[00:38:22] Yeah, and Rod looked like he definitely played basketball

[00:38:24] back in the day, not baseball.

[00:38:26] Basketball grabbing those coconuts,

[00:38:28] coming down with the rebounds.

[00:38:30] Well, I hear he was being scouted by the Bulls

[00:38:32] and he was being scouted by the Knicks.

[00:38:34] And...

[00:38:35] I love him.

[00:38:37] I hear Lee, yeah.

[00:38:38] We love that too.

[00:38:40] This episode, I was a coconut.

[00:38:41] Okay, I was just waiting for Rod at this point.

[00:38:45] Knock me off the tree.

[00:38:48] Okay, so anyway, we've already talked about the first task

[00:38:51] and how Saesar should have stayed a little bit longer.

[00:38:54] You guys are all wrong, whatever.

[00:38:56] Amber did it by herself.

[00:38:57] Good on her.

[00:38:58] I don't need this anymore.

[00:38:59] Okay, so they are now at this point.

[00:39:02] Say one more thing about that

[00:39:04] because I'm gonna go your side now, right?

[00:39:07] But wait, but wait.

[00:39:09] Melissa should have grabbed him and been like,

[00:39:12] hey, I'm gonna help you.

[00:39:15] Where did you go?

[00:39:16] You need to help me so we leave together

[00:39:18] because I helped you.

[00:39:19] You're right, you're right.

[00:39:20] Okay, there, that's it.

[00:39:21] We could keep going.

[00:39:22] It is a little bit on her to be like,

[00:39:23] whup, whup, whup, whup, just 10 seconds.

[00:39:25] Check, 10 seconds, make sure they got it

[00:39:27] and say what's wrong here.

[00:39:29] And although I do think the only one he didn't say

[00:39:32] to her was about the spiral, she should have swapped.

[00:39:34] That was the easiest one to swap over

[00:39:35] because it was the hardest one to know.

[00:39:38] But good on her for sticking with it.

[00:39:40] I would have been cursing and crying and screaming

[00:39:42] because I would have been like,

[00:39:43] he left me, this is garbage.

[00:39:44] I helped him.

[00:39:45] You're right, nobody is just in their mind.

[00:39:48] I have a question.

[00:39:48] When you're doing those type of challenges

[00:39:50] and we as viewers, they give you like the eh eh

[00:39:53] and you can see the checks on the TV.

[00:39:55] Does the producer or someone there,

[00:39:57] so they don't?

[00:39:58] Okay.

[00:39:59] They're just no wrong.

[00:40:00] They don't know which ones are right.

[00:40:01] And they don't tell you if you have to use all of them,

[00:40:05] if you have to use a certain amount.

[00:40:07] You're just, you don't know why it's wrong.

[00:40:09] It's just like.

[00:40:10] Good task, good task.

[00:40:11] That was great.

[00:40:12] I'm very rarely perfection.

[00:40:15] I liked that one.

[00:40:17] They, I mean the other ones were kind of,

[00:40:19] but whatever, I liked that one.

[00:40:20] That was great.

[00:40:21] The baseball one left something to be desired.

[00:40:23] They could have done 1400 more things.

[00:40:26] That at the baseball one,

[00:40:27] Sacer said he didn't even get to sit down,

[00:40:30] Ricky did it so quickly.

[00:40:31] Like that's just too easy a task then.

[00:40:34] If you're gonna have people start in bunches,

[00:40:36] if you're not gonna have U-turns,

[00:40:37] if you're not gonna have things

[00:40:38] that push people back,

[00:40:39] at least make the tasks hard enough

[00:40:41] that other people have a chance to catch up

[00:40:44] because you're struggling.

[00:40:45] That's what I'm feeling.

[00:40:46] According, in the book of rod it was hard enough.

[00:40:49] It was eight more there that long.

[00:40:52] It was whatever.

[00:40:54] Yeah. It's one of those tasks

[00:40:55] where you could do it a hundred times

[00:40:56] and still be there five minutes.

[00:40:58] Like it was quick.

[00:40:59] It was quick though.

[00:41:00] But I still enjoyed it as a Bartolo Colón

[00:41:03] which is my last name Colón,

[00:41:04] my boho y dado americano,

[00:41:06] que lo que?

[00:41:08] He is a legendary baseball player.

[00:41:10] He played for many years in the big leagues.

[00:41:13] Like I'm telling you, he lasted forever.

[00:41:15] Like I grew up with this guy all the way to adult.

[00:41:17] Like this guy was still in the major leagues

[00:41:19] and it's really cool to see that caliber

[00:41:23] of an athlete on the amazing race.

[00:41:24] And that's pretty cool to see him there

[00:41:27] interacting with the teams.

[00:41:28] I enjoyed this.

[00:41:29] I also played baseball when I was younger.

[00:41:30] I was like, man, I wish I could do this task.

[00:41:32] But yeah.

[00:41:34] Michelle, let's pause Lewis for a second.

[00:41:39] Is Lewis good at baseball?

[00:41:41] I don't know.

[00:41:42] I've never seen him play.

[00:41:43] Okay, well, that answers the question.

[00:41:45] No, I will say Lewis is very athletic.

[00:41:47] I feel like anything that has to do with sports,

[00:41:50] he gets it pretty right on.

[00:41:51] We were in Japan and we were playing darts

[00:41:54] and he won us a heart of shots

[00:41:57] because he beat these Japanese people at darts.

[00:42:00] So, I feel like he's getting talented.

[00:42:03] I also want a ninja throwing contest.

[00:42:05] Oh, he did?

[00:42:06] A ninja star.

[00:42:07] He did.

[00:42:08] I'm not throwing ninjas.

[00:42:09] I'm throwing ninja stars.

[00:42:10] Ninja star at throwing contests.

[00:42:11] You know what?

[00:42:12] So, Lewis...

[00:42:13] I got the both of ninjas.

[00:42:14] I got the both of ninjas.

[00:42:15] Lewis did martial arts growing up.

[00:42:19] So, I feel like he's very focused on things,

[00:42:22] like very random facts.

[00:42:24] Michelle, what was the sport

[00:42:26] I played the most when I was younger?

[00:42:28] I don't know.

[00:42:29] Baseball.

[00:42:30] Baseball, Michelle.

[00:42:31] I'm pulling my dad's...

[00:42:32] I think he was a ninja throwing extrovert.

[00:42:34] Random facts.

[00:42:36] When there's a fly in the room,

[00:42:38] mosquito,

[00:42:39] he's one of those people who looks at it

[00:42:41] and is like...

[00:42:42] I will chase that fly on the house.

[00:42:44] You will catch it.

[00:42:45] So, I feel like he's just good at...

[00:42:48] But answering my question,

[00:42:49] I played baseball my whole life.

[00:42:52] Like on the field?

[00:42:54] Okay, she was okay.

[00:42:55] On the bench.

[00:42:57] Video games like Vinny.

[00:42:59] Wait, are you good at soccer, Lewis?

[00:43:01] Soccer, no.

[00:43:02] Okay, so when I come to Miami,

[00:43:04] oh, we play me one-on-one of soccer

[00:43:06] because that's the only sport that I am...

[00:43:10] I'm A1A.

[00:43:11] Exceed.

[00:43:12] Nice.

[00:43:13] In.

[00:43:14] Nice.

[00:43:15] We'll play some micro,

[00:43:16] some micro soccer around here.

[00:43:17] We got a few cases around here.

[00:43:18] I'm down.

[00:43:19] Well, Bryce, you gotta make your ass down here, dude.

[00:43:21] Listen, it's official.

[00:43:23] Anyone that's listening,

[00:43:25] I'm about to say Vinny.

[00:43:26] Lewis and Michelle and myself

[00:43:28] were having a sleepover when I come to Miami

[00:43:31] and I cannot wait.

[00:43:32] And Brooke.

[00:43:33] And Brooke, and Brooke.

[00:43:36] Hopefully my taxi knows how to get

[00:43:38] from the airport to Lewis and Michelle's house.

[00:43:42] I don't know if it's in many ways, it's fine.

[00:43:44] It's like 10, 15 minutes away.

[00:43:46] So if you can't get here,

[00:43:48] Bryce, you can't be on the race.

[00:43:54] So where are we at now, Brooke?

[00:43:55] I don't know.

[00:43:56] I am not up there.

[00:43:57] I'll go for the place.

[00:43:59] No idea.

[00:44:00] I don't know.

[00:44:00] I think we're still in the rocks.

[00:44:02] But.

[00:44:03] No, the rocks are done.

[00:44:04] We're over that.

[00:44:05] We're in the trees.

[00:44:06] Vinny's climbed a tree.

[00:44:08] Ricky and Sase are very smart about the cacao pods.

[00:44:11] Exactly.

[00:44:12] They did a little assembly line.

[00:44:13] He moved one thing and I like that.

[00:44:15] They're very smart about how.

[00:44:16] Very smart.

[00:44:17] They play.

[00:44:18] Wadden Shane are so cute.

[00:44:19] They're talking about how they're trick or treating

[00:44:21] in a full-size candy bar neighborhood

[00:44:22] with all of these pods.

[00:44:23] I enjoy them.

[00:44:24] They keep their spirits up.

[00:44:27] We're talking about being ready.

[00:44:29] Whatever.

[00:44:29] Rod is just grabbing them.

[00:44:30] How funny was the chocolate thing

[00:44:34] where he tried to feed him the chocolate

[00:44:37] he wouldn't take it?

[00:44:38] Yeah.

[00:44:38] Juan's like, bite it.

[00:44:39] Shane's like, no, you already bit that.

[00:44:40] That's disgusting.

[00:44:41] That was good.

[00:44:42] Those guys are awesome.

[00:44:43] I love them.

[00:44:45] I do too.

[00:44:46] I put $5 on them to win at the beginning of the season

[00:44:49] for anything started.

[00:44:50] And before I knew anything about anything.

[00:44:52] And so, you know, I might be $5 richer next week.

[00:44:55] This is gonna be a big deal.

[00:44:57] I mean, not if Rick and Sacer have anything

[00:44:59] to say about it, but whatever.

[00:45:01] Okay.

[00:45:01] So everyone's doing the cocoa thing.

[00:45:05] We don't care.

[00:45:06] We're done with that.

[00:45:07] And so then they have to go to the baseball stadium.

[00:45:09] I love this.

[00:45:10] I loved when they get to show like actual local places

[00:45:14] where people had given back.

[00:45:15] I love that he came back.

[00:45:16] He built the stadium.

[00:45:18] I like that whole giving back nature of everything.

[00:45:21] So anyway, blah, blah, blah.

[00:45:25] They are whatever we can do.

[00:45:27] We don't care.

[00:45:28] Okay.

[00:45:28] So I wonder if there's anything to be scrapped.

[00:45:31] Okay.

[00:45:32] So I'm actually curious about something.

[00:45:33] So there were two roadblocks and no detours

[00:45:34] on this episode of the race.

[00:45:36] And I should have asked the people on it

[00:45:38] because we had one leg where there were two roadblocks

[00:45:41] and no detours.

[00:45:42] But I always wonder if that meant

[00:45:43] that something had to be scrapped.

[00:45:45] Like I wonder if there was a task

[00:45:46] that either weather wise or just logistic wise

[00:45:50] didn't work out because I'm wondering if the first task

[00:45:55] or not the canyoning one, that's a roadblock.

[00:45:57] But if this baseball thing there was another option

[00:45:59] that just didn't work out

[00:46:01] and it should have been a detour.

[00:46:03] But also it would have been the easiest detour

[00:46:04] in all time if you know who were doing it.

[00:46:06] So we have two roadblocks, no detours.

[00:46:10] We talked about it.

[00:46:11] I have to do three drills.

[00:46:12] Like get one ground ball, catch one fly ball

[00:46:14] and hit a stick.

[00:46:15] It's too easy.

[00:46:17] Like I just...

[00:46:19] I was on James podcast

[00:46:20] and they were actually talking about the fact

[00:46:23] that if whenever there's two roadblocks

[00:46:26] that one like in past seasons

[00:46:30] one person has to do one roadblock

[00:46:32] and then the next one,

[00:46:33] they don't allow the same person to do the roadblock.

[00:46:37] So they were kind of like fighting it.

[00:46:38] Like should they have allowed the same person

[00:46:41] to do that roadblock?

[00:46:42] Like for us it worked

[00:46:43] because we were doing a mega leg.

[00:46:45] So it was a whole entire day of a whole bunch of stuff.

[00:46:48] And then there's secondly two separate legs in one day.

[00:46:50] Technically.

[00:46:51] But this is, yeah.

[00:46:53] I don't know.

[00:46:54] I mean it happened to us in South Korea

[00:46:56] where I did, there was a Cup Second Challenge

[00:46:58] and I did the first one

[00:46:59] and then there was like an Eastwards video game challenge

[00:47:01] so the other person had to do the second one.

[00:47:04] That is sort of the norm.

[00:47:06] I don't know why they didn't do that here.

[00:47:08] Although most teams,

[00:47:11] I think three of the five had the other person do

[00:47:14] the second, if I have it right,

[00:47:16] maybe two of the five, I don't know,

[00:47:17] had the other one do the second roadblock.

[00:47:19] But the second roadblock was so easy

[00:47:20] that I can't imagine anyone of the 10 people left

[00:47:23] would have struggled with it.

[00:47:24] So where I'm at is, if I heard clearly,

[00:47:29] Leticia now has to do all the roadblocks.

[00:47:32] Yeah, Rod down in the roadblocks.

[00:47:33] And I feel like that's probably,

[00:47:36] I think Leticia is very athletic,

[00:47:38] very smart in everything.

[00:47:39] But I feel like she locks a little bit

[00:47:41] of competition in her and I feel like.

[00:47:45] Like intensity.

[00:47:47] Yeah, yeah.

[00:47:48] And like, I don't know.

[00:47:50] Sometimes I feel like I want a little bit more from her.

[00:47:52] And I feel like now she has to do,

[00:47:55] in the finale, she has to do all the roadblocks,

[00:47:57] which scares me just a little bit.

[00:47:59] Cause I know Rod wants this, like that, you know?

[00:48:03] Like he wants to get the first place.

[00:48:05] So I mean, we'll see how it plays out

[00:48:07] with her doing the next roadblocks.

[00:48:10] I think what's interesting,

[00:48:11] the one thing that I think is really good about Leticia

[00:48:13] is she doesn't give up on herself

[00:48:16] even if she's not doing well with something.

[00:48:18] Her spirit still say hi,

[00:48:20] which I don't know what that's like,

[00:48:22] but it works for her.

[00:48:23] And so I like the fact that I feel like

[00:48:25] even if she has to do them all, what she does now,

[00:48:29] although they may say in the finale,

[00:48:30] she has to do at least the next leg's worth.

[00:48:33] And I think that even if she is struggling at it,

[00:48:35] she will stay positive.

[00:48:36] And they do have the secret weapon of Rod

[00:48:39] where he can cheer for her.

[00:48:41] And that goes such a long way

[00:48:43] if you're someone who likes to have a cheerleader,

[00:48:45] like not Ricky, Ricky's like, says you're shut up.

[00:48:48] I don't want to hear it, let me be,

[00:48:50] but I'm someone who likes to hear like

[00:48:52] you're doing a good job, like keep working on it.

[00:48:54] And Rod is the person who would give that more

[00:48:56] than anybody.

[00:48:57] So I'm curious to see how she does,

[00:48:59] like what the task is, how she does.

[00:49:01] If it's just a brute force strength task,

[00:49:04] then I think they will question

[00:49:07] whether it was a good idea for Rod

[00:49:08] to do the baseball or not.

[00:49:11] But we'll see.

[00:49:12] I don't know what it is next week

[00:49:13] and I'm excited to see what it is.

[00:49:15] I'll get to watch it with her

[00:49:16] and I'll just lean over and be like,

[00:49:18] what did you think about this?

[00:49:19] That's right.

[00:49:21] Just getting everybody's face.

[00:49:23] Are they all going to the finale?

[00:49:25] Everyone will be there.

[00:49:26] Awesome.

[00:49:27] And the Double Dutch team has already told me

[00:49:31] they are bringing their jump ropes

[00:49:33] because they bring them everywhere

[00:49:34] and we should all bring sneakers with us

[00:49:36] because they want everyone to try and jump rope

[00:49:38] at some point during the finale.

[00:49:40] I'm gonna do it early

[00:49:41] because I'm gonna be drinking

[00:49:43] and I don't need to try and do that.

[00:49:45] On my ticket.

[00:49:47] I got an extra bedroom, come stay up here.

[00:49:50] You'll come hang out.

[00:49:50] It'll be great.

[00:49:51] It'll be a party.

[00:49:53] How far are you from there, Brooke?

[00:49:55] From where the finale stays today?

[00:49:56] Yeah, very far.

[00:49:57] 20 minutes on the subway.

[00:49:59] Yeah, it's not far.

[00:50:00] It's very easy.

[00:50:01] So, you know, invitation is open

[00:50:03] even though you only invited Bryce

[00:50:05] to stay at your house and not me.

[00:50:06] Yeah.

[00:50:08] You are definitely inviting both of you.

[00:50:11] We're just gonna walk in the door together

[00:50:12] and be like, we're here.

[00:50:13] Come in.

[00:50:14] Okay, so anyway.

[00:50:18] Yeah, Cesar hasn't even got to sit down

[00:50:19] while Ricky's doing it.

[00:50:21] I'm wanting to get it on the third try.

[00:50:24] I don't know where I am.

[00:50:25] Can somebody else top?

[00:50:26] Like this is...

[00:50:28] That last, I guess we're at the part

[00:50:31] where we're just running to the pit stop

[00:50:34] but I feel, wait, did the taxi driver's got lost

[00:50:39] from this, right?

[00:50:40] After the baseball.

[00:50:42] So, I guess we're in the part where Amber and Vinny

[00:50:46] now have that taxi driver that get lost

[00:50:48] and Rod and Tisi get that taxi driver that get lost.

[00:50:51] And I thought for a second there

[00:50:53] we're gonna see Alyssa and Vaughn pull it through

[00:50:55] because of Amber and Vinny's taxi.

[00:50:57] I like that edit there.

[00:50:58] Yeah, I did like that.

[00:50:59] And it was really close

[00:51:00] cause we saw them both there at the end.

[00:51:01] Oh wait, let me talk about Leticia

[00:51:03] now that I said that.

[00:51:05] She beat Vaughn and Shane to the pit stop.

[00:51:10] I love that.

[00:51:11] Shoot, mm-hmm.

[00:51:12] And then that's when I always say that like,

[00:51:15] a backpack's matter,

[00:51:17] like you should not have a heavy backpack obviously

[00:51:19] and maybe try and do one try.

[00:51:22] But I always say that with the boys,

[00:51:24] like it doesn't matter because guys are strong

[00:51:27] but this kind of proved the point

[00:51:30] that they should have thrown away a lot of things.

[00:51:33] And she wasn't out there climbing trees too.

[00:51:35] Right.

[00:51:36] Like they look gas.

[00:51:38] Well, I wanna also say like,

[00:51:40] shout out to Vinny who when,

[00:51:42] cause if I'm gonna be harsh,

[00:51:43] I should also be kind.

[00:51:44] You know, at the stadium,

[00:51:46] Amber's like maybe I should have done this.

[00:51:47] I played softball forever.

[00:51:49] I would have done that.

[00:51:50] This would have been mine.

[00:51:50] I put softball my whole life.

[00:51:51] This was way too easy.

[00:51:53] But Vinny never played baseball, did great.

[00:51:55] And then they get this cab where they get screwed.

[00:51:57] Yvonne does great until she has to start doing

[00:52:00] the broomstick car

[00:52:00] and even then she goes pretty quickly.

[00:52:02] Cause like you said,

[00:52:03] this is something where you could do it 20 times

[00:52:05] and it's two minutes.

[00:52:07] And then so Ron and Letitia and Juan and Shayne

[00:52:10] are in a battle with their cabs for second place.

[00:52:13] And I love this.

[00:52:14] As my gripe about the taxi is not knowing,

[00:52:17] but I love an aggressive taxi driver

[00:52:20] that is willing to risk my life to win the race.

[00:52:23] Like I love that.

[00:52:25] I thought that that was like so great.

[00:52:26] And I felt bad for Juan and Shayne

[00:52:28] cause they was like, what the hell is going on?

[00:52:30] I feel like what this was,

[00:52:32] if the taxi was ever unsafe,

[00:52:34] your camera person is going to tell them to slow down.

[00:52:37] I was always like, just go as fast as you can,

[00:52:39] kill us as long as we don't like,

[00:52:40] just buckle up, Scott.

[00:52:41] As long as we don't die, we are good.

[00:52:43] And Scott was always a little bit nervous.

[00:52:44] I'm like, but did you die?

[00:52:45] No.

[00:52:46] We did have one or two times where our camera person

[00:52:50] was like, you need to slow.

[00:52:51] We were in Africa on roads that weren't like paved roads.

[00:52:55] And I think our camera person was a little bit sick

[00:52:58] that day and he's like, you need to slow down.

[00:53:00] I'm like, just vomit on that way.

[00:53:03] I'm like, no, we're not slowing down.

[00:53:04] We keep going.

[00:53:05] So anyway, I like, you, Bryce talks about how he likes

[00:53:08] a driver who has like a little bit of like a tweak

[00:53:11] or just like a disturbance in their self

[00:53:14] because you know they're gonna disregard all traffic rules.

[00:53:17] So I really liked that race for second.

[00:53:19] I would have never brought a backpack

[00:53:21] if I had known my teenage

[00:53:22] because I'm very into only one backpack.

[00:53:25] But Letissa nailed it.

[00:53:27] When they are running, I was like, okay,

[00:53:29] so Juan and Shayne will have second

[00:53:30] and Ronald T she'll have third.

[00:53:31] Like it is what it is.

[00:53:33] But no, in a surprise twist.

[00:53:35] Like she killed it.

[00:53:37] So I'm into this anyway.

[00:53:40] Ricky and Saesra are first because whatever

[00:53:43] they went a trip to Seoul, South Korea, it's beautiful.

[00:53:46] I hope they get to go enjoy it.

[00:53:47] Rod and Letissa come in second.

[00:53:50] And again, he talks about how crowd he is in his wife

[00:53:53] and he's so supportive.

[00:53:54] And I love their relationship.

[00:53:55] It makes me so happy.

[00:53:57] Juan and Shayne are in third.

[00:53:58] And then we have the last two

[00:54:01] who are racing to not be eliminated.

[00:54:03] And I just, the editors are having fun

[00:54:05] because they show many like,

[00:54:08] like coming hard on Amber a little bit

[00:54:10] and, but she's not wrong in this situation.

[00:54:13] She's like, he needs to pull over.

[00:54:14] Like, what is he doing?

[00:54:15] Why is he just trying?

[00:54:16] She's not wrong this time.

[00:54:17] But what else are they gonna show?

[00:54:20] And then Yvonne and Melissa are there.

[00:54:23] So Vinnie and Amber gets the mat fourth.

[00:54:25] And Yvonne and Melissa get their wall.

[00:54:27] Vinnie and Amber are still there.

[00:54:28] This is close.

[00:54:29] It's like a handful of minutes.

[00:54:32] And I'm not happy about this elimination.

[00:54:34] How do you feel about it?

[00:54:37] I feel like Yvonne and Melissa are very under edited.

[00:54:39] So I feel like, you know,

[00:54:42] I didn't feel that connection

[00:54:44] that I feel with other teams, unfortunately.

[00:54:47] And they don't have social medias.

[00:54:51] You know how they have spoilers sites

[00:54:52] that like find the teams before the season even starts.

[00:54:57] Like there's a spoiler site out there, reality TV fan

[00:55:00] that did not have no idea who this team was.

[00:55:03] Even until the day the race started or it's not a cast.

[00:55:07] They still don't know who they are.

[00:55:11] So, and they don't have any social media presence.

[00:55:13] You know, so it's very hard for me to really like

[00:55:17] be sad about this, but this is their best episode yet.

[00:55:22] And the clip that they had at the end was beautiful.

[00:55:26] And now I'm like, where was this team the whole time?

[00:55:28] Now I miss it.

[00:55:29] It was like interesting to see

[00:55:31] cause when they did show little bits of their personalities,

[00:55:34] I actually really enjoyed it.

[00:55:35] Like when they showed Yvonne doing the floor tenant,

[00:55:40] ground tent, what is the word it's called?

[00:55:41] The tennis on the street, road tennis.

[00:55:43] And she's like, who has glasses on?

[00:55:45] Cause I thought maybe he wouldn't be able to see the ball.

[00:55:47] Like they're funny.

[00:55:48] I like them a lot.

[00:55:50] It is really that reality fan forum

[00:55:52] is that site that follows people around.

[00:55:54] I didn't know it existed.

[00:55:55] My family actually found it while I was racing.

[00:55:58] And so they were kind of following me around the globe.

[00:56:01] And then when I came back, they said to me, they're like,

[00:56:04] and then you disappeared.

[00:56:05] And we're like, oh, well she was eliminated

[00:56:07] because we went from Greece to Vietnam

[00:56:10] and there were less people to find you in Vietnam

[00:56:13] who were like involved

[00:56:14] cause we were in rural Vietnam at one point.

[00:56:16] And she's like, my mom was like, well, we guess you're out.

[00:56:20] And so that's fine.

[00:56:21] And then I guess they just stopped watching

[00:56:23] because they didn't know how it ended.

[00:56:25] That's crazy.

[00:56:26] For us, they actually just started tracking

[00:56:27] the charter plane number.

[00:56:30] Like they just followed,

[00:56:32] they literally followed a plane around the world.

[00:56:34] They're like, okay, they're here next to here next.

[00:56:36] And yeah, that's how our family followed us.

[00:56:38] Yeah.

[00:56:39] That's so smart.

[00:56:39] That is smart.

[00:56:40] I feel like Yvonne and Melissa were riding

[00:56:43] that middle path for so long

[00:56:47] that it gets to a point when you're towards the end,

[00:56:49] like you can't ride that anymore.

[00:56:51] Like you gotta thrive in something, you know?

[00:56:54] And then there was a rocks that messed them up.

[00:56:57] Yeah, I'm with Vinny.

[00:56:58] I don't think I was emotionally attached to them enough

[00:57:01] cause I didn't see them enough.

[00:57:03] So it's like, I'm so sad to see them go.

[00:57:04] You just call me Vinny.

[00:57:05] Yeah, I was gonna let it go.

[00:57:07] I was gonna let it go.

[00:57:08] But...

[00:57:09] I do look like an Italian Vinny maybe.

[00:57:16] You gotta grow your hair.

[00:57:18] No, I'm with Louis always and forever.

[00:57:23] But love or hate Vinny and Amber's edit,

[00:57:27] I'm attached to them.

[00:57:28] And I love the fact that they are here.

[00:57:30] And so all the, you know, Twitter warriors,

[00:57:32] all the people saying nasty comments about them,

[00:57:35] they in the final episode, where y'all at?

[00:57:38] Where you at?

[00:57:39] Not with Vinny in the tree.

[00:57:40] So I'm happy that they are still in it.

[00:57:44] And I really do feel like they have a shot.

[00:57:46] Well, that's the question then, Bryce.

[00:57:48] Tell me and all of you, what do you think?

[00:57:51] You have four teams left next week's the finale.

[00:57:53] Who gets what place?

[00:57:54] So let's just take Ricky and Sazer out of here.

[00:57:56] No, you can't take them out.

[00:57:58] You take their first.

[00:57:59] So if, yes, obviously, but I feel like they're everyone's first.

[00:58:03] So I'm gonna take them out of my top.

[00:58:05] And I'm gonna say like, I'm going Juan and Shane.

[00:58:09] I'm going Juan and Shane outside of Ricky and Sazer.

[00:58:12] So I mean, I think they're first,

[00:58:14] but I think Juan and Shane have the best shot.

[00:58:18] This is what I deal with.

[00:58:18] All I asked was to answer a question.

[00:58:20] What order do you think people finish?

[00:58:22] And he's like, well, we can't count this team.

[00:58:24] And then this is not really who I think it's first.

[00:58:28] I think it'll be Ricky and Sazer, Juan and Shane,

[00:58:34] Vinny and Amber and Rod and Chee-Chee.

[00:58:36] Okay.

[00:58:38] I agree.

[00:58:39] Really?

[00:58:39] I agree.

[00:58:40] Yup.

[00:58:41] I really love Juan and Shane.

[00:58:43] There's something about them.

[00:58:45] I love their relationship.

[00:58:46] I love that they're doing it for their family

[00:58:47] and their wives back home.

[00:58:49] And I think they're good.

[00:58:51] I think, I really do think they're good.

[00:58:53] They're just, I think they got recruited.

[00:58:55] I'm not sure, but for not knowing the race,

[00:58:58] they're still doing like really well, you know?

[00:59:02] I've never flew in a cockpit.

[00:59:04] So it's like, I would really love for them to win.

[00:59:07] So I feel like everyone can sit in the cockpit with them

[00:59:10] and for them to fly high.

[00:59:13] So, and I also feel like if Ricky and Sazer don't win,

[00:59:17] I feel like a lot of the community could get behind

[00:59:20] a Juan and Shane winning, if that makes sense.

[00:59:23] Right?

[00:59:23] So it's like, I feel like they have enough of an edit,

[00:59:26] but obviously I'm moving from what you say so much.

[00:59:29] So for me, for Ricky and Sazer,

[00:59:32] here's the thing, we've never seen them in a bad,

[00:59:36] not, I'm not saying in a bad mood,

[00:59:38] but struggling or like towards the bottom

[00:59:40] or fighting to like stay on the race.

[00:59:45] But we do see a clip of, I think it's Ricky crying.

[00:59:50] And I have a feeling they are gonna win,

[00:59:53] but since I do see him crying,

[00:59:56] I'm wondering if they like start off on a bad foot,

[00:59:59] which will kind of be nice.

[01:00:03] Again, I don't wanna say this,

[01:00:04] but it'll be nice to see them overcome something,

[01:00:08] you know, since everything's been so easy for them,

[01:00:11] you know, not easy, but you know what I'm saying.

[01:00:14] Well, easy for them because they've been a welder and a chef

[01:00:17] and they've played something they haven't done.

[01:00:20] I mean, I feel, I do think the last two weeks

[01:00:24] on a preview, they have shown somebody struggling

[01:00:26] and that somebody is the team that goes home.

[01:00:28] I think they might be trying to fake us out this time.

[01:00:31] Although I actually put $5 on one and Shane,

[01:00:34] so I'm gonna say one and Shane

[01:00:35] because I want the $5 and Ricky and Sazer,

[01:00:39] and then I'm gonna say Ronald and Shane.

[01:00:41] I think it's gonna be close.

[01:00:42] I want it to be like foot-racy to the end close.

[01:00:46] Yes, that'll be great.

[01:00:48] So if there's gonna be an elimination halfway through,

[01:00:51] so we all think Ronald and Atisha,

[01:00:53] we all in agreement with that.

[01:00:57] Everybody ranked them last.

[01:00:58] I'm only getting an Amber eliminated part way through,

[01:01:01] that's my guess.

[01:01:03] Maybe they don't want to their own.

[01:01:04] I don't know, I have no idea.

[01:01:06] That's the best part.

[01:01:07] I don't know if anybody here knows what happens,

[01:01:09] but they're the only team that hasn't won.

[01:01:12] Who won the first place?

[01:01:13] Who, Rodney?

[01:01:14] Oh yeah, Vinnie and Amber.

[01:01:15] Yeah they did, Rodney and Atisha won right at the beginning.

[01:01:17] No he's at Vinnie and Amber.

[01:01:18] Right, sometimes I feel like I hate looking at social media

[01:01:22] because I have the way, mostly Vinnie post,

[01:01:28] I feel like he got to the finale.

[01:01:30] Okay, so once again Brooke knows nothing

[01:01:34] and that's fine, I'm cool.

[01:01:36] And I do probably think Ricky and Sazer win

[01:01:38] and I would be thrilled with it

[01:01:40] if a team deserves it for knowing how to race

[01:01:44] and what to do.

[01:01:45] And the little things, Louis and Michelle,

[01:01:47] they said, Ricky and Sazer said to me last week

[01:01:49] when they were at Rihanna's house,

[01:01:51] they actually turned around after leaving to go back

[01:01:54] to make sure they knew what the little plaque

[01:01:56] on the floor looked like.

[01:01:58] They took five minutes and went back

[01:02:00] so that if in the memory challenge in the end it came up,

[01:02:03] they wouldn't have to question it

[01:02:05] and they would know the answer.

[01:02:05] Like that is just, that should be rewarded.

[01:02:08] Do you think the other teams did that?

[01:02:10] I don't think so.

[01:02:11] Oh, and not because of small details.

[01:02:13] Right, they think about those things.

[01:02:15] Small details, so it's amazing.

[01:02:18] Even in this episode there was a moment

[01:02:20] where he told the other taxi drivers,

[01:02:22] it's something so silly and so stupid

[01:02:24] but he was like, hey, make sure you drive slow,

[01:02:26] like slow down.

[01:02:27] All of that.

[01:02:30] That's something that, like one of the drivers

[01:02:32] could be funny and be like,

[01:02:33] I actually will drive slow, like I agree.

[01:02:35] Like I think that they are,

[01:02:37] their hands only get like pros

[01:02:39] and I'm excited to see.

[01:02:40] I mean, if they don't win,

[01:02:41] there is a 0% chance they're not being asked back

[01:02:45] to come do it again.

[01:02:46] I mean that is,

[01:02:47] and I would love to see how they do on a season

[01:02:50] where teams had the opportunity to slow them down

[01:02:52] or handicap them in some way

[01:02:53] because every U-turn would have been used

[01:02:56] on them this season.

[01:02:56] Every yield, every whatever would have been used

[01:02:59] on this team because they deserved it

[01:03:01] because they are so like not human.

[01:03:04] You're right, they're so incredible.

[01:03:06] So I'm excited.

[01:03:07] Yeah, and there's not gonna be a season.

[01:03:09] That's it.

[01:03:10] This is the last COVID season.

[01:03:11] I'm not sure why they don't do U-turns

[01:03:13] is something I'm dying to know

[01:03:16] because it doesn't make any sense.

[01:03:18] They go back and doing another task.

[01:03:20] All the tasks are short anyways.

[01:03:23] But we're not gonna see that anymore.

[01:03:24] There's a last time hopefully.

[01:03:27] And what sucks is that amazing reason

[01:03:29] to come back till next year.

[01:03:31] I don't think they start filming again until next month.

[01:03:34] We'll film it soon.

[01:03:35] Yeah, I think it's June.

[01:03:37] So I heard of rumor.

[01:03:38] Well, I guess you know what they did

[01:03:39] announced their fall.

[01:03:40] So they're not coming back in the fall.

[01:03:43] But when you play the race,

[01:03:44] do you know, did they tell you

[01:03:46] there's gonna be U-turns this season?

[01:03:49] Okay, so for our season they did.

[01:03:52] They told us in the beginning

[01:03:53] there's not gonna be any U-turns

[01:03:55] because they didn't want us talking

[01:03:56] in our interviews about U-turns and all that.

[01:04:00] So they wanted that out.

[01:04:02] But for Kim and Penn season, Raquel and Kayla season

[01:04:06] they didn't tell them anything.

[01:04:07] And it was the same COVID,

[01:04:08] that was the season where they left for COVID.

[01:04:10] And then when they came back,

[01:04:12] they didn't tell them anything.

[01:04:13] But for our season and from what I heard this season

[01:04:16] as well, they told them that there's not gonna be any U-turns.

[01:04:19] And I wonder, even because Ricky and Cesar are not human

[01:04:22] and they are just like mortal or immortal.

[01:04:26] I feel like if they would have had wind

[01:04:28] that it would have been U-turns.

[01:04:30] I feel like their strategy

[01:04:31] would have been a little different.

[01:04:33] I feel like that they are so smart.

[01:04:34] I feel like they would have tried to work more

[01:04:37] with other teams or helped other teams

[01:04:39] to kind of build those allies and relationships.

[01:04:42] So again, I don't even think that that would have stopped them

[01:04:44] because I think they would have built relationships.

[01:04:46] Yeah, I think they would have worked smarter.

[01:04:48] They would have been a little more Danny

[01:04:49] and a little less Robin and Chelsea.

[01:04:52] And like...

[01:04:53] It's like...

[01:04:54] Going back to last season.

[01:04:56] Before we found out that there was no U-turns

[01:04:59] Lewis had told me like,

[01:05:01] hey in orientation or whatever,

[01:05:04] we have to act like we don't know the race.

[01:05:06] Like so people don't think we're like a threat.

[01:05:09] So he was even gonna be like,

[01:05:10] oh what's wrong with you again?

[01:05:14] I see right through you.

[01:05:15] I'd be like that guy's a ringer.

[01:05:17] That's a wrap.

[01:05:18] But also they are fit and they're fabulous.

[01:05:21] I still want to be friends with them

[01:05:22] and I'm gonna team up with them whenever I can.

[01:05:25] I'm just going, what's the show called?

[01:05:27] What do we have to do?

[01:05:29] Brooke would have been in the back of orientation.

[01:05:30] Bullsitter!

[01:05:32] I'm gonna keep my mouth shut there

[01:05:34] because I don't want people turning on me.

[01:05:36] You're too much.

[01:05:36] I'm just fine.

[01:05:38] And I would have been like,

[01:05:39] I know you're bullshit.

[01:05:40] I know you're not ripped.

[01:05:43] I see through you, but let's work together.

[01:05:47] So crazy to think that season is coming to an end

[01:05:49] as well as this episode.

[01:05:50] But Vinnie and Michelle...

[01:05:54] Lewis!

[01:05:56] He did all the verbs in there.

[01:05:58] Lewis and Michelle, we love

[01:06:00] and thank you so much for joining us.

[01:06:02] This episode, we love you.

[01:06:04] Lewis is always in my heart.

[01:06:05] We look forward to seeing you.

[01:06:07] At least for this month.

[01:06:10] Yes, it's May your birthday month.

[01:06:11] Is it just your birthday?

[01:06:12] Yeah, it was just my birthday.

[01:06:13] Happy, happy birthday.

[01:06:14] Thank you so much.

[01:06:14] Thank you so much.

[01:06:15] And guys, thank you so much for having us on.

[01:06:17] We love the Pearl Pants family.

[01:06:19] We love you guys.

[01:06:20] We wish you could be there with you

[01:06:23] in the finale next week, Brooke.

[01:06:25] Maybe next season.

[01:06:29] Man, my work, I took out too many days

[01:06:31] of Japan, man.

[01:06:32] I can't.

[01:06:32] What happened?

[01:06:33] That was a tough one!

[01:06:35] You're on the same page as me, too.

[01:06:37] But I can't wait for my sleepover, baby.

[01:06:40] We're gonna have a sleepover in Miami.

[01:06:42] Yes, and yes, thanks for having us on.

[01:06:45] Yes.

[01:06:46] Thank you guys so much for joining us.

[01:06:47] This is so much fun.

[01:06:48] I knew this was gonna be a fun one

[01:06:50] and we paused for a second.

[01:06:52] I was like, Brooke, this is a really fun one.

[01:06:53] So I'm really, really happy

[01:06:55] that you were able to join us.

[01:06:56] Thanks for being a part of it.

[01:06:57] This was really great.

[01:06:59] And I don't care that I didn't even get to my...

[01:07:01] Whatever.

[01:07:02] I didn't get to anything.

[01:07:03] Why do I even take notes anymore?

[01:07:05] See, I'm gonna learn my lesson

[01:07:06] and take no notes next week.

[01:07:08] You gotta highlight your best notes out of all of them.

[01:07:13] Well, it's hard when she got 37 pages missing.

[01:07:16] The whole page gonna be yellow.

[01:07:17] But this was so much fun.
