[00:00:56] And we're live here. It's Rob Cesternino back again for Summer of Survivor. It's Fantasy Tribe Draft Night. We'll explain what that all means here as we welcome back

[00:01:17] for the first time in not quite several weeks, but many weeks to have the entire Summer of Survivor crew back together. The first man who has been taking you day by day through the Survivor 50 wish list. Give it up for Mike Bloom.

[00:01:38] Yes, happy to be back. I have been gone for the past couple of weeks, but between Rob mentioning the Hawk Tua moment and Shannon comparing Genitalia to Deli meat, it feels like I've never left. Yes, okay. We keep you in our thoughts always, Mike.

[00:01:52] Of course, back with us once again. Of course, our chief international survivor correspondent, it's Shannon Gus Shannon. How are you? I'm doing great. I'm excited for this. When Rob says, you know, we're going to explain what that all means. I think he means to him, right?

[00:02:08] You know, do you know what's happening tonight with this? You like fantasy? I also don't know. It's like instead of explain to me like I'm five, it explains to me like I'm Rob.

[00:02:17] Yes. Okay. We will do just that. And taking a break from talking about all things scripted TV, one of the taste makers. Of course, it is Grace Leader. Grace, how are you?

[00:02:31] I'm good. I am a taste maker, but tonight I'm going to see if you folks have taste. I'll let you folks draft your tribes and we'll see how they are. I did have COVID earlier this year. It's a little up and down. Yeah, rough.

[00:02:42] Okay. All right. So tonight we are going to be drafting survivors for our unique survivor tribes based off of the categories and criteria that Grace is going to give us here in just a moment here

[00:03:00] on a busy Wednesday night. We've got the summer of survivor. We are live here in the chat. And then Jenny Autumn and I will be back together to talk about claim to fame season three premieres tonight in its usual time slot Wednesdays at nine.

[00:03:17] This week it is not going up against big brother 26. And so Jenny and I will be live after the premiere of claim to fame coming up later on tonight. So put the coffee on baby.

[00:03:31] Yeah. And so then all that is to say that once big brother starts next week, because I saw some scuttled but in the chat earlier as to what exactly happens starting next week, we will still be going live at 7pm Eastern on Wednesdays,

[00:03:45] but we have a hard out as we like to say in the podcast base at nine o'clock. So we'll get into this later on the podcast when we're soliciting ideas, including for next week. Anything that should be suggested should be for podcasts that should be relatively contained

[00:03:59] within the two hour frame because we should be in and out by the time big brother starts. Yeah. And maybe we could jump on a little bit earlier if we ever have like a particularly lengthy episode to get to.

[00:04:11] But those are our time constraints on Wednesdays and then for a regular time slot for claim to fame. Probably those podcasts will go up on Thursday morning. All right. How you doing Shannon? You OK?

[00:04:24] No, I'm doing great. I'm just thinking about it's such a fun thing that you've done. Giving me and Mike a hard out giving us a time limit and it's good because we're not verbose people

[00:04:34] and we don't go off the rails. And this has all been very professional thus far. So I think that that's going to be a very easy task and I'm excited to accomplish it. OK, we're going to be fine. Diamonds are built under pressure or pipe.

[00:04:49] The original down the hatch had a time limit. Did it not? That last week. Follow that to the letter and the law. The survivor wish list had a time limit that we follow in the law.

[00:04:59] That's right. You got it. Yeah, I'm really a constitutionalist when it comes to time limits on podcast. Yeah. OK. So they're guidelines more than anything. It's not guidelines. We be brother. Big brother waits for no one.

[00:05:11] Last week, Shannon and I got together with James Jones for a new era think tank. And what that was only a week ago. That feels like a year ago at this point. I mean, it was a long year. We had the fourth of July holiday.

[00:05:27] And so it was fine. Yeah, very good. It's nice family time. So it really feels like that that was more than just a week ago after all that time away. But excited to be back together with the whole crew was mothers versus moms. Moms versus mothers.

[00:05:48] The bingo balls. That was the last one that we all did together. That's crazy. Jeopardy. And maybe I should say that I was away on my two week victory lap Jeopardy tour. That's now I'm finally back to bask in the glory.

[00:06:03] And then we did the quotable one liner, so should I say Shannon did with Chappelle and Puyah due to and James did the new era think tank. So four weeks ago. Yeah. All right. So we are back at it.

[00:06:13] And then later on tonight, we're going to talk to discuss some ideas for next week's episode. Yes. Okay. All right. So. Grace. Yeah, you're a task of giving some thought to categories of us to be drafting here tonight.

[00:06:34] Yeah, I think the best analogy Mike Bloom, I think has said it before, but the best way to look at this is this is like fantasy sports before survivor. So there's a fantasy draft with which is a fairly high bar we're setting for the survivor fandom and middle.

[00:06:47] There is some there's a small sliver of a Venn diagram that exists. Oh yeah, sports. Peter has a fantasy football podcast, right? But he wasn't going by Peter on the podcast and then so people didn't know they were listening to Peter. They knew they were listening to

[00:07:02] What does he go by on the podcast? Pistol. They all have nicknames. That's a patron game night Australian outback. Yes. Legend. And birthday boy in the continental United States, I believe pistol Pete. This is a week's birthdays tomorrow. It's yesterday, but today for us.

[00:07:25] Yeah, I tried so hard to just not say pistol until Rob had to actively ask what's the name you could see how it was like how do I do this with that. But no he has a fantasy football podcast. I have this survivor podcast people.

[00:07:36] Why is he going? Pistol Pete is that speaks for itself, right? It's still Pete. It is a thing. I don't know like the etymology of pistol Pete, but it's definitely like a thing. Yeah, I just don't know what does he have a six shooter.

[00:07:53] What's no, I don't know what that is perhaps bit more of a Tommy gun. Perhaps more of an American thing. It's very ironic. Yeah, that the Australian is a gun. Yeah, or not the Australian is a gun.

[00:08:03] Well, anyway, the point is that people listen to his podcast, people listen to my podcast and then years later, some people have been like, oh my God, I listened to both your podcasts and I've just worked out you're married.

[00:08:13] So all that to say, please this is why it's going to be hard to stick to the time limit, but all that to say, I have to do well at a fantasy style drafting, which is hard given my draft experience thus far. Yeah, okay. Great.

[00:08:28] What if this is the draft? This is still, this still Pete is the nickname of 1970s basketball player Pete Marovitch is what I've learned. This is great. The time limit is going to be is going to it's going to work.

[00:08:42] Yeah, by the way, last week also we get a survivor 50 draft to drafting. That was last week. Yeah. It's also the same one that was only eight days ago. Eight days ago. I feel like it's okay if you wear shirts in an eight day cycle. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:09:01] That's yeah. Okay. So in a in a in a sports fantasy draft, you can't just draft, you know, like 12 quarterbacks who draft a quarterback or two and then you draft a wide receiver positions positions.

[00:09:15] So I've created categories and which will be limited to anywhere between six there is six to 10. There is one larger category that I because you got to have a bench grace. The Sandra bench. Yeah. Is there an injured reserve? Could I put like Randon, Bruce?

[00:09:30] I don't know if that's a category. A Medivac person. I put I do. I do have a. So here is what I'll say. I have great get through. I have six categories. You're going to you're going to draft a six person tribe.

[00:09:43] I think for the three of you then that's like an 18 person season. I think you have to have gender parity in your tribe. Yeah. So there is one category. You'll have to be very mindful of this.

[00:09:52] I'll tell you because if you get you can't be stuck with this category. Yeah, women. Yeah, women. So I have six categories. I will give them to you and you probably want to write me. You probably want to write them down.

[00:10:04] You're going to love this fantasy sports is all about drafting buff men, which is your MO when it comes to survivor drafting. And then I have some alt categories. If you, if the three of you are feeling like, I don't know about that one great.

[00:10:15] Like no, feel free to utilize your veto and we'll sub in a different category. But I think the ones I have, I think are pretty good. So much. Would you like to start? We'd like me to start with the, the category.

[00:10:25] So you might want to write these down. I feel like I have to leave up per category. I literally thought, well, I need paper for this. If only you have a magic box in front of you that possesses a keyboard. I'm going to use my phone. Okay.

[00:10:38] So a name dropped a Medibat contestant that is one of the categories with a caveat. They cannot have returned or played in a, in a second. One time Medibat players. One time Medibat. This is note the category is where you don't want to get stuck with it

[00:10:54] because there's literally only one. Okay. I like this. I'm not going to tell you who fits in each category. I think that the fun of it is that you folks can only think about it and do it. Okay. Yeah. All right. Second category,

[00:11:11] there are exactly nine people who hold the record for individual immunity wins either for a man or a woman. Okay. So that is one of the categories. There are nine people who hold the record because they're tied. Five men for women. Five men and four women.

[00:11:23] They're all tied. They're not. Oh, there's a rainbow on the middle. Yeah. The five men that have won five and the four women that have won four. Most immunity wins. Okay. Her agenda. Okay. Players who played the game when they were 20 years of age or younger. Oh, Robin.

[00:11:40] I don't want to drop you. Don't call that. Yeah. Yeah. Mike, you give me the fun and category names for each category. Oh yeah. Cute nicknames. Yeah. What about immunity record holder? That's good one. We call them the necklace. People. People. You stop calling my name. All right.

[00:12:05] This is our largest category by far, but I think it's fine. I think all of you will be able to have some room to put this is like a stacked category. I think these are people who have been amazing race contestants. Ready. Again in my space.

[00:12:18] I see how it is the racer Rob also. Yeah. Yeah. Grace. Now can I ask you a question? So let's say a hypothetically, they could have played before or after. Yeah. Let's say hypothetically, I drafted somebody who was an amazing racer and then immune.

[00:12:37] I don't even know if it's possible, but it is. Then after I draft that person, could I potentially put them out of my flex spot and put them into a different spot on my team? I might think it's a yes, because it creates a fun moment

[00:12:56] where you switch. I don't know if that person is here. I think that there might be somebody I can think of. So but I'm not opposed to saying no, they have to lock in your. No, no, I think it's fine. Let's move people around. Okay. Okay.

[00:13:14] Survivor contestants whose name starts with a Y or Z. Oh, alphabet enders. Alphabet enders. Yeah. A lot of these people are like, I want to go first in these picks because it's like really clear people on the board. Yeah. I think so. Getting a little confused.

[00:13:31] And our final category, which is our smallest category of the night, which is people who have won the challenge last gasp. Oh, So why was it of the first name? Yeah, their first name. Yes. And I don't think anybody is a nicknamed person either.

[00:13:48] So I think you're think, I think we're good. I think you can just yeah, why is it? Yeah. The first name. I'm giving the Canadian. What about yogurt Rodriguez from sort of. Yogi giving the Canadian pronunciation of Z. So we know those. Yeah. So that's in the chat.

[00:14:07] How does someone win? It's a great question. I fan vote. You know, I do think it should be fan vote or throw them into a brand steel. No, I think I think the fan vote. Absolutely putting this into a brand steel and we'll share the results on Twitter.

[00:14:19] But I do think that is the way to go. Can I say when we where we put it, are we putting it on Twitter for a fan vote? It should be a blind vote because I think people will vote against my team. We can do the lunch tables.

[00:14:30] Mm hmm. Yeah. We'll, I think the lunch tables have the category or was like, which, or is it, which table would you sit at? It's very good. Cause I think that there's a difference between like if you just saw that player and we're like, that person picked

[00:14:44] that player versus if you saw that they were like their name had to start with wires. Yeah. So we'll figure out how do we'll figure out maybe you can work on a little graphic and work with Sam more

[00:14:55] and get it and it can be blind, but it will say all the information it needs to say. Yeah. And so, and so basically again for, for a little bit of the under initiated cause we could kind of jump in.

[00:15:05] So right now the three of us are going to draft tribes. We each have six picks and one each pick has to fall in one of these six categories. We have to, by the end of this, have six people to slot into this.

[00:15:19] So it is up to us. Yes. Something just clicked for you. What is it? I understand what we're doing now. Ah. So if somebody takes somebody from a category, you cannot take that same person from that category. And if there are people Rob who do qualify for multiple

[00:15:35] categories, they cannot be drafted in the other category by someone else. They're off the board. Yeah, they are. Off the board. Okay. All right. And how will the draft order be determined Grace? I have randomized it. If you would like. I promise I did this. Snake draft.

[00:15:50] We'll do a snake draft or rat. Yeah. The snakes and rats draft. The order will be Rob, Mike Shannon and then reversed in the second. Okay. Perfect. Okay. Any other questions? It was my Shannon again. How's it? Okay. It's fine. I'm fine being that's a fine.

[00:16:08] You get three and four. Yeah. It's fine. I'm fine with it. I just, it's just funny that the randomizer as well as they don't, the bit. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um, I mean, I do the one thing about draft podcasts that I think are sort of one of the

[00:16:23] bans of this is that people do not want to give away their strategy. I would encourage you to talk through as much as you can. Yeah. When you are thinking or drafting, if you're taking a specific person to category because you think I don't

[00:16:36] want somebody else to, to try to, you know, have this person's category, I would encourage you to voice that even if it makes enemies of your, your co-drafters. Okay. I'm ready to go. Okay. Rob first. All right.

[00:16:51] The, the, the card is in with the number one pick in the survivor, summer survivor, fantasy tribe draft. Give me Jam Jam. Okay. I mean, presumably for now you're, you're placing him in. Yeah. I'm going to give him a hmm.

[00:17:14] I'm going to, I'm going to put him in the, he has some positional flexibility here. He does. He does. A little bit of a Shohei Otani here. Yes. I will put him in the last gasp winner. Okay. Jam Jam. Okay. Love it.

[00:17:35] I mean, as you said, you can move, you can move him around if you would like, but I have wonderful first pick, a delightful person. I think a winner friend of the pod friend of the pod, a very good first pick. Yeah. Okay.

[00:17:49] Maybe, maybe one of the most recent players whose name starts with a Y or Z as well. I just have the, um, Taren strategy of the whole Wikipedia list of survivor players in front of me. I do think that's a sort of, because you, you blocked

[00:18:01] him from multiple cat. I think you blocked him for in a very small category and a category that I think potentially why or Z is top heavy. I think it's at the bottom of the alphabet, but it's, it's not. I think maybe, maybe. Okay. All right.

[00:18:16] All right, Mike. Well, I will just go back to my beloved third corner of the big three of CBS. Let me go with amazing race contestant and I will go with Natalie Anderson with my first pick. Wow. Okay. Damn. That was a top two pick for me. Yeah.

[00:18:35] I think I did not know if she'd come back around to me, especially with Shannon doing back to back picks. And I, I have some reserves for the other ones. So I thought this is in with no offense to the other amazing racers number one with a bullet.

[00:18:47] So I wanted to make sure I got her. I think is, Mike, I think, I think amazing race contestants is probably the deepest category. We wanted like now it's a deep category, but I would say there's definitely an echelon of like,

[00:18:59] okay, there are amazing race alum that I think people would want to vote for and maybe some other ones that could not necessarily you'd have to draft last is like, okay, I guess come welcome to my team Whitney Duncan. Okay. Fair enough.

[00:19:13] All right, good pick back to back winners. Yeah. Support. Okay. Yeah. Shannon, you have back to back picks here. Yeah. I know who I want, but fortunately, they are both men. So weird. Um, they're both great. She's married to a pistol. What makes you feel that it's weird?

[00:19:35] Hmm. The second pick. It's like, I can't believe I'm going to be the second pick. It's like I could fall back to me, but it's such a good pick, but then I feel like I'm just going for what I want.

[00:19:45] It's like, I see the shiny thing and I'm like, yes, I should be giving you my strategy as Grace asked so kindly. Um, well, the first pick I will take you all. I'm going to do it. You all. Yeah.

[00:19:56] I'm going to be like reddit in 2020 and just say you'll over and over. I think it's still linger. I think the tail is very long on you on the you'll move. I'm glad. Um, okay. So that's in you all. I mean, great pick.

[00:20:08] It's just, it's just over the way it is an eligible pick. That's correct. People look at the chat or saying, you'll just say, incredible. That was like that was my first pick of the board that I wanted Natalie Anderson was second.

[00:20:20] So I was like, do I go for the amazing race category and pick like, should I say really am I going to give it away? Grace. Uh, you should, I mean, you should. Yeah, you should pick. Yeah. You should go. No, I don't want to go.

[00:20:33] My strategy that's what I have, but then it's like I should go. Should I take the female one time? Because I know I'm going to be struggling for women. I feel like that is a, and I actually don't know what to do if you get stuck.

[00:20:45] Like if that person has gone and you're stuck with that category. So you're going to have to try it out. I do think you have to, you would have to do that. Yeah. Yeah. You'd have an ineligible player and you can

[00:20:55] serve for me that that person is Courtney moon. It is Courtney moon. Yeah. Yeah. Who are some of the other good people in that category? Yeah. Yeah. I'm on the Wikipedia list of all the players command f thing 20 so I can see who's 20 or younger, but that's

[00:21:11] hard because it's like this is the season in 2010, 2011, et cetera, et cetera. If you Google, uh, player, survivor players under the youngest survivor, then the SWAT team will come to your house. You get a pretty good and accurate list. Oh God, don't do that. Okay. I don't. Okay.

[00:21:34] Can you guys bill a bustle? Well, I can mod f 20 again. No. Okay. So Shannon has taken Yule off the board. So we have our first round right now. Rob has taken Jam Jam. I've taken Natalie Anderson. Shannon has taken Yule three winners. The street continues.

[00:21:50] This is good because people in the chat are like, I showed up late and I don't know what's happening. So this is actually great channel give you the benefit of the doubt here, which is that the three of them are casting six person tribes.

[00:22:00] Each person from their tribe must fit one of the six categories, which are individual immunity, record winner. It says individual immunity winner. That's how my God imagine that. Players under the age of 20 when they played amazing race contestants, names start to the wire, Zed, non-returning

[00:22:17] Medabak contestant or winner of last gasp. You have to have gender parity, six person tribe. That's what we're doing. Come on, the teenagers. That please don't say it that way. Not a lot of great options to be on. No one who grabbed me. And goodness, I will.

[00:22:37] Please stop. What is the through line of this podcast? Let's end it right now. I will take Courtney Moon because I've got. Oh, and that spells Courtney. Oh my God. That are the strand of. I was like, they've brought it back since then. I guess that's true.

[00:22:54] I would love to see the reaction of people trying to guess how the draft order went jam, jam, Natalie, you'll Courtney. Courtney Moon. What I want to say is that's pretty good. All right, a good. I think it's I think it's a good.

[00:23:08] The Anakin and Padme meme of like, like, the draft went jam, jam, Natalie, you'll Courtney, right? Courtney, Courtney Yates, right? I've played a lot of super close. You can't just have all pre-modes on your team. I understand you need to have some rookies that are really cheap

[00:23:29] so that you can fill up the rest of your draft board with more expensive picks as opens me up to a wealth of expensive men. So just like you went full bloom one time and you have just been stuck in this. Stop the doughless in the podcast.

[00:23:46] Just like we all predict this, Shannon would be open up to some expensive men. Right? Like we're creating lists of cast away. Shannon will wind up on some sort of list by the end of the podcast.

[00:23:56] But if you keep saying it over and over, then of course my phone is going to hear you and do it. All right, Shannon drafted Yulquan with name that starts with a Y or Z and then Courtney Moon as a non-returny mediback

[00:24:07] contestant, basically meaning you have to take a woman, Rob, Mike, in another category, unless there is one that I'm missing that I don't think I'm missing. But Mike Bloom, it is your turn to draft. OK, so I'm on one category and I'm between a couple names

[00:24:21] and I'm really going back and forth between the two. So I will say it's Y or Z and it is between a Y and a Z. And it's tough because I'm trying to get like wish list Mike out of the brain, because there's one person that we've

[00:24:36] talked about a lot that I'm thinking about. But I'm wondering what it would it pass the smell test of a vote? It's Evrohas. It's I love me some Evrohas. I never forget the double boot from survivor, Nicaragua.

[00:24:54] Yeah, Mike, give me the best suited for this guy having just like doing the survivor wish list. Yeah, I mean, he was the best suited before the wish list. But as well, only made him stronger. I will take. Yeah, you know what?

[00:25:10] I'm going to go for the flavor of it. Give me Yow Man. OK, very fun pick. A great pick. If maybe Rob, Rob will need a. Well, unless he can move, he can move Jam Jam. That's right. OK, Yow Man is a great choice. It's great choice.

[00:25:28] There we go. I got the Brando. I got the Brando support. That's all that matters to me. He would. Did I did I shout out that Lindsey Wilson helped me come up with these categories and I say that? Shout out Lindsey Wilson. I did pull in a ringer.

[00:25:39] I also asked Josh Wiggler today because Rob sent me a message last night saying make sure the categories are specific and weird. And so I asked Josh to just gut check the categories and he said what about chefs? And I said there's only three of them.

[00:25:50] Well, that's what it is. But you know what? That it is that in these fancy drafts, you're in a position scarcity. Brassie. Yeah, like really, like people are, you know, like I got to move fast on Brassie, you know. Oh, man, too. Like a motor scooter.

[00:26:08] Got to go down to Chinatown. I feel like it's weird. So I'm happy with where he landed. All right. Yow Man off the board. Rob, Rob, you have two picks back to back. Two picks back to back. OK.

[00:26:19] So I have one that I have a locked in one. OK, I feel like Shannon. I have the one that is the easy one. Mainly listen to me. I feel like Shannon. Hmm. Give it to the people.

[00:26:35] OK. So here's my here's my one that's a that's a lock. I'm going to go with my dear friend, Jenna Maraska. I kind of wanted to leave her to you as well. Like it wouldn't feel right if Shannon or I took Jenna.

[00:26:54] Yes. Again, some positional flexibility here for Jenna Maraska, both an immunity record holder and an amazing race contestant. Hmm. Very true. Rob really put the positional scarcity the opposite. I love that. What a special flexibility. I love that where. You're a regular Debbie Wanner.

[00:27:16] What? She has all these jobs. She moves around a lot. Not what I thought you meant by positional flexibility. You're talking about her sex life. Yeah. Yeah, why are you next time? A whole category is going to be Debbie Wanner job. That's it. Oh, definitely.

[00:27:31] Red Lobster waitress would be my my top pick. Yeah. All right. Jenna Maraska off the board. That's why I always end up at some point in the fantasy season having Taysome Hill on my team. It's like exactly.

[00:27:42] He could put him in tight end, but he also could throw a pass. I know what a tight end is. You know, team Debbie was the whole reason I'm a podcaster. So I don't say anything about Debbie. Yeah. Jenna very close to some people are pointing out

[00:27:56] she's very close to a three category, but she was 21. Twenty one would have been helpful. There's a lot of good options for twenty one. Twenty and under really tough. I find it's almost like the point was to make the categories. Yeah.

[00:28:10] Great. I thought you were helping us out. All right, Rob, you got the turn for round three. I got the turn. And so I've got the hmm. Let me just I'm like googling some things on the on the fly also. Yeah, we're all going to win a list.

[00:28:32] Now we're coming up. Definitely. Like yeah. So it's so great. It's most immunity wins in a in a single season and a single. It's a single season immunity, individual immunity, record holder for both the men and you either hold the men's

[00:28:49] record or you hold the women's record. OK. Yeah. All right. And I also. All right. So are you guys finding that it kind of feels like a googling challenge, like I'm not on the right stuff. Yeah. My my nose. OK, Mike, well done.

[00:29:04] Much like another Stephen King product of Lawnmower man, I have a computer inside my head. Yeah. And so I need to also then remember, you know, I got to get my gender equality here. Yes. OK. So I think I'm going to end up while I had the position

[00:29:24] all flexibility here with Jenna Maraska. I think I'm going to end up losing it now because I think I'm going to lock in my amazing race contestant with Oh, another woman from that I played survivor with. And I'm going to take you didn't play with Whitney Duncan.

[00:29:45] No, no, she does not play with me. I'm going to go with Amber. Yes. Amber, I believe was she was she Birkwich at the time or or Mariana? It was because they because they did get married.

[00:29:58] The special did air, but I think she still went by Amber Birkwich at the time. OK. So a fellow young woman from the Keystone State, give me Amber Mariano to slot into my amazing race slot strategically. I have everyone else who's ever competed on the amazing race.

[00:30:16] True. So I'll take that last. And what what what? What I like about that you could save it for last. Now, only thing the only thing, Shannon, not is that if there is somebody who is eligible for a different category, they could get sniped still.

[00:30:28] So you have to be so the odds are that they want. So Natalie and Amber both can't can't shift my person. I don't think in shift. So I'm going to pitch them last, even though they were my next pick. OK, OK, really happy about how that went.

[00:30:44] Rob, you picked you picked. I like the amber. But I think it was a little underrated as a pick. Well, under three winners so far on my team. That's not a goal of the draft, but sure. No, I mean, getting the winner

[00:30:55] who's the one time medivac is going to be tough. No, it's not. Yeah, that's the tricky part. Let's see. OK. All right. A good turn. Jenner, Mrazkin, Amber, Birkich, Mariano. All right, Mike, you are back up. I love the solidarity that Rob showed

[00:31:18] in supporting his fellow contestant in the Amazon. Not only because stars and in all stars, not only just because I do enjoy Rob looking back fondly upon the year 2003, but because it firmly opens up the category of most immunity winners for to me. A lock in candidate.

[00:31:36] Give me Kim Spradlin. No, I mean, like bloom. It's a great pick. No, that's my hope. That's my name. I was waiting. It was a silly. I feel like of all the nine people, I feel like Kim is the one that people for.

[00:31:49] It's almost like you feel like that maybe Courtney Moon would have lasted. No, it's not because now I have to take a man in that category. Mm hmm. Oh. OK, all right. So Kim Spradlin goes to Mike. Oh gosh. Unfortunately, that's everything. Super draft order.

[00:32:12] It's almost like these are designed to be. Sam, are you keeping track of this? You're right. I have a spreadsheet here as well. Yeah. All right, well, you're up with the double pick. Stop it. Everything is going to be so. Yeah. Stop what? Oh, that's painful.

[00:32:31] That was my those everything. Should I have taken Kim first? How dare you all pick the best? Would you guys have taken Courtney Moon? Had I left it? Probably not. No. Oh, God, I draft a bad. And I might be a bad draft.

[00:32:44] I think I might have seated like the one woman in the category. I think too much. Shannon, I think I think I'm going to do this. I promise. Shannon was on auto draft. She had to get up and do something and it accidentally picked Courtney Moon. I am.

[00:32:57] I only googled the most challenge wins after and Kim like stood out. So those survivor one world legends. Worst, like, and finally Courtney goes to get drafted first. So it's great news. Well, it's hard because. Like I'm definitely taking Tom Westman in these two picks,

[00:33:17] but I was going to take Tom Westman as a winner in Las Gasp. Yep. If I take Tom Westman in Las Gasp. You have some flexibility and then take and then take a male immunity challenge winner. Yeah. Then I can't have my amazing race person that I wanted.

[00:33:33] That would be hurtful. Oh, because those would be your three guys. Yeah. Or. What's worth? Yeah. Or Chrissy. These are human beings. Chrissy, yeah, but I was like, I was about to have Kim. But it's hard to. Um, I think I'm going to have to.

[00:33:51] I think I will take Kelly Wigglesworth with the Joe stuff and. Mona. Yeah. Um, the men just looking really good. I don't. Shea, I don't know if you heard, but there's a time limit on the. Is it hard out? There isn't. It's not.

[00:34:08] God, it's actually doing great on time. I don't know what we're going to do next week. I was going to say, if you have six more categories, maybe you can run back into another one. Don't threaten me with a good time. Let's do those chefs. Um.

[00:34:24] OK, I'll take Tom Westman. OK, you don't. You have flexibility here because you could you could move Tom from one category to another. Yeah. But I'm about to lock it out. OK, well, that's fair. It's like, I forgot you have another big. Because I really want Ethan, right?

[00:34:44] Yeah. But maybe do I have to sacrifice Ethan who are really good women? My could play the amazing race. Come on, OK. Wow. Who would have thought that Jenna and Ethan Pear could be the amazing race represent? And you could you could stick with your own tribe,

[00:34:58] pick Eliza or Corinne if you'd like to. Laura Boda is up there. Wow. Thank you for the help, Mike. Um, yeah. You could be a lot to win the fan vote at that point. Yeah. Thank you so much, Mike.

[00:35:11] Well, what if you pick Eliza, you'd have her supporting you staunchly on Twitter. So can I pick my cat Eliza? You know, you don't have other women who played amazing race for me. I mean, yeah, great. Let me go to this. Come on. No, that's not.

[00:35:28] Want to know how I mean, I don't think that's fair. That you get going. I don't have any running backs. We're running back to there. Like you have a list. We all have information. We can all Google these things, but it's like, is that good podcasting?

[00:35:42] All of us just frantically Googling. I mean, I'm not. This is. Yes, it seems to be. I haven't Googled the amazing race that had Ethan locked in, but then Mike. The Y or Z is first name only first name. Why are Z? Yes. Yes. First name on there.

[00:35:59] I'll trade you for Kim. Do you want honey? Oh, trades. Love it. I love. No. Do you want you and funny moon? No, two for one. I like that. No, because I also have young man because then that would be useless. You're a lot to me. Very good.

[00:36:17] I bet it all on you. He was like an eight hundred thousand dollar pick. And I think you bet it all on Courtney, man. Actually, no, only was my rookie. You need rookie. You shoot the moon. Mm hmm. You need a rookie.

[00:36:30] But you don't need to trap the rookie in the second round. It opened me up to expensive pigs, but those pigs. You know what they say? Shoot for the stars. In worst case, you hit the moon. You hit the Courtney, man. What happens? What happens?

[00:36:46] I don't want to lose Ethan and it seems like those female pigs. Well, there was no better than that. Um, OK, give me. I just hate all of it. Kelly Wigglesworth. OK, that's fine. Individual immunity winner. OK. I want to record holder.

[00:37:10] I saw her. She was right there. Yeah, I'm sorry. You got the third pick in the draft and ended up in this position. You should be really sorry. I am. All right, Mike, you are back up just to cover. You have Kim Spranden in immunity record holder.

[00:37:26] Natalie Anderson, an amazing race contestant. And now man as a contestant, whose name starts with Y or Z. Doesn't serve a good. Yeah, what do you got? Well, I will go to last gasp and let's talk about a dear friend of mine.

[00:37:40] Dear friend of the podcast, someone who played last gas so recently, he broke the challenge. Give me Owen Knight birthday boy birthday is it his birthday too? Oh my God, pistol, Pete and Owen Knight have the same birthday. Oh, I haven't messaged Owen.

[00:37:57] We'll do that now on the. Great pick, Mike, I think going with Owen. Hmm. I think I wanted to fill out that category since to your point, Grace, this now is now I think we will actually if it's the flex spot right of Jam Jam, if Rob doesn't

[00:38:11] draft a last gas person, then that will be the category filled out. That's right. Yeah. Oh, and was someone I obviously was looking at, but then too many men. Well, hmm, you got to be. He's in Ethan or the Owen.

[00:38:26] OK, is there a way that Rob could take Ethan right now? That I don't think so. Don't do that. I would have been better. I don't know where Amber would go. Only if you let me last name Z.

[00:38:34] Well, and Amber was like 21, I think when she was on 22. I think I just looked it up. Oh, yeah, you're right. Oh, thank you. All right, Rob, you are up on the turn to pick. Yeah, this is tough. So I have an immunity record holder.

[00:38:51] I have an amazing racer. Yes. And I have a last gasp winner. Oh, some flex. You have some some flex here. Hmm. Interesting. Josh Kettles in the chat says that Courtney Moon will win me the draft with all the gatekeeping

[00:39:10] stance who will be voting on Twitter. It's true. They love nobody pre-merge women. Oh, gotcha that you like sort of picked one for. They'll be like Slay Queen Mother, Courtney Moon. That's right. That's right. That was my formal title. All right. Then.

[00:39:26] How about I think I'm going to actually take advantage of some of this positional flexibility. You just want to. I just want to. Yeah, you just you just. Yeah, it's cool. Yeah. And I'm going to go with. Give me. There's somebody I would have taken,

[00:39:50] but I know Mike Bloom was not fond of of them from our recent podcast. So I will go with give me Carla Cruz Godoy. That's oh, oh, interesting. Yeah. Yeah, I yeah. Was not fond of them. I know it was a Brenda, a Brenda reference.

[00:40:05] Oh, OK. I'm like of Carla. But anyway, good luck with Twitter. I'll do some good things. Yes. OK. Yeah. It was going to love it. OK. Moving over to Jam Jam over. I had another woman to my team. I see your notepad that you're writing on.

[00:40:21] It's just it seems like it feels like you've just got a whole. I read a lot of index cards. My whole room is filled with index cards. Rob, you are. Do you throw them away when you're done with them? Get it out of Atkinson.

[00:40:32] Include this one is a note that I passed to Dominic, who was here's just staring at me for a couple of minutes before. I wrote to him, you OK? He wrote, yeah, I'm just watching. Rob, can you mail that to somebody in the chat?

[00:40:50] I feel like that's a price. What did Rob's part say? Yeah, they're everywhere. I didn't say it. Well, I didn't see it. What did Rob's part say? Yeah, I did. You OK? Yeah. Oh, you OK? Yeah, I'm just then. Yeah, I'm just watching.

[00:41:04] Yeah, but he's not here anymore. OK. We have a thousand piece puzzle we're working on in the other room. OK. Oh, it's of pasta. OK, that sounds really hot. Are you just one big fettuccine? Lots of different pasta, Mike. It's a whole spread. OK. Love it.

[00:41:22] I'm going to go with a person that I always enjoy hearing from this person. They are under 20 years old, a recent survivor player. Give me Sammy. Sammy Leotti. Sammy. The pet cremator himself. All right, Rob, you've almost run out of your team.

[00:41:51] What you've been left with is that you'll have the last pick of the draft and you'll be dropping a non-returning medivac contestant whoever's left. So that's the position that's the risk you've taken here. That's the risk. Sammy's a great pick. OK, so question for you, Grace.

[00:42:08] Yeah, about this pesky little medivac category. Yes. So when you mean returning, do you mean they didn't return after they got medivac? I guess I mean they are a one time player. They've been on the show one time. So they've only played once.

[00:42:24] OK, so like Terry Dietz, Eric Reichenbach, they don't count. Like the penner doesn't count. Yeah, well, Penner came back after he got. That was my question was like Eric Reichenbach last time he played. He got medivac. Does not count. OK. As Jeff Preps would say.

[00:42:37] One appearance, one medical evacuation. That's right. OK. I think the others would have been very mad at me if I. Sneakily made the other ruling. So well, I was ready because I have one of the categories that we gave to you, Grace, as an example was Canadians.

[00:42:54] And I was already ready to swoop in with the trick category of Todd Herzog, who is a Canadian citizen, technically. Yes, there's some fun. There's some fun people who like secretly have apparently Kel Gleason from Survivor has Canadian citizenship.

[00:43:07] I learned that by Canadian was also one of the backup categories. Yeah, then I could have not drafted Marianne. And then you could have been mad at me again. No stuff. I cheat the system. I actually just draft what the.

[00:43:21] I will. Yeah, Mike, can't take so long with your draft. Oh, yeah, mine. All right. So I will go. I'll go with my medivac here. And there's lots to choose from. I will go. I think. Why the hell not? I feel like, honestly,

[00:43:43] my my team has become low key team rooting for Asians. So give me Bruce Kanagai. Yeah, that's good. I would have taken Bruce with my pick. I get a Bruce Kanagai. Yeah, I mean, listen, again, he was an immense amount of pain,

[00:44:00] but I will continue to say it's the funniest episode of Survivor of all time. He was medivac for one of the wildest reasons of severe constipation. And it led to some absolute incredible stuff. Plus, Bruce himself is a wild character between straining water

[00:44:14] through T shirts between doing coach she before it was coach she between the rock garden. So yeah, I'm happy to add Bruce on here. OK, fun pick. I thought you were going to try to get some positional flexibility and draft Mike Barassi, who's also a chef.

[00:44:31] Just the price, seventh category. He's barbecue. Yeah, I forgot. Brass is barbecue. Remember that? That's a throwback. All right, that leaves Shannon. You get two picks. Yeah, you're going to round out your team. You're going to be the first person to round out your team.

[00:44:47] I'm finally now sorting by. What if you didn't take it? Yeah, can you? Like this is this is a guns and rookie strategy where it's all on a couple of big games to bring home the ones. The rookies. Oh, I am. That's like a challenge. Yeah. It's.

[00:45:06] Do we have do we have like captain's where like we can double. I hated pistol Pete, by the way. Oh yeah, exactly. This was cowering in the shelter the entire time when he faced him on the basketball court.

[00:45:18] I don't think you have a I think you can have an honorary captain. Share if you'd like. Or we're going to be easy. No, Courtney Moon. Courtney, I'm looking at the under 20 women that I can have. There's some good people. So it's like a cap. Yeah. Oh boy.

[00:45:39] It's really weird to be just just sorting it truly by age. There is a there is a there's a. Yeah, literally. I never found the list. Lindsay Messinger said, I forgot who Jessica Pete was. And you made her day. You know, yeah, just like a contested.

[00:45:54] I tell you. Yeah. Baylor, these are my picks, but I'm just giving names. Mm hmm. Because it doesn't matter. This is my last Baylor. Not 10 obviously. I feel like that's probably the go to. But I'm. Jessica Pete, she came. But that's another one for her. Pistol.

[00:46:14] Jessica, there you go. Maybe it is written in the start and Julie. Just like a lot of ski. Julie's to go out skiing. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm personally going to take Ethan. So he's not like the last pick, even though it could be.

[00:46:25] That's given it all for you, Ethan, because someone informed him. Yeah, he's more of a Mr. irrelevant than, you know, I don't think it's as any dishonor being the last pick of this draft. Exactly. Yeah. Ethan, I hope it was worth it. People vote for Ethan and Yule.

[00:46:42] That's what I put in your one. And you'll be asked that as well. OK, why? I'll take not 10. I feel like that's the go to. I think it's a good pick. Yeah. You know, OK, that's a good one. Not 10 is a good one. Not 10.

[00:46:57] I mean, she didn't get voted in two second chances, but I'm hoping the vote goes a little better. So Shannon has rounded out her team. Like we'll save the, you know, the recap of the team for once we're done this round.

[00:47:11] So that leaves Mike with your last pick. Yes. So obviously I have a little, you know, corner right now. I have one category left, which is 20 or younger. I have one gender left, which is a woman. So I'm really between two at the moment.

[00:47:27] And which one do I want to go for? I mean, you could talk it through. I we don't have to pick. Oh, yeah. So this is the two that I'm between right now are Purple Kelly and Julia. Purple Kelly, I think ironically enough, given her edit

[00:47:40] is the more remembered contestant. So you slay Queen Mother. Exactly. But I feel like Julia Sokolowski is a low key slay Queen Mother not to reveal too much about my podcast for the wish list for Corong. But I do feel like for a while, Julia Sokolowski

[00:47:57] was in the conversation as like one of the best teenagers to play. I think she was someone that was like low key, a very solid person in Corong. They just ended up on the wrong side of the boats and was eventually taken out.

[00:48:09] But I do need a bit of a wild card here. I'm really am back and forth right now. I feel like to your point, Shayna, what either one of these is going to fill out the slay Queen Mother slot, which is sort of like

[00:48:21] an undercover slot on my team. So I will ultimately go with. Yeah, you know what? I didn't put her on the wish list. So let me give her her due now. I'll take Purple Kelly. OK, Purple Kelly can milk her own milk.

[00:48:40] I'm surprised she wasn't on the wish list. We put Naonka on, but I think Purple Kelly does and she doesn't want to come back to. So that was a thought about that. All right, Rob. Yeah, you would have trouble, Kelly, if she wants to come back.

[00:48:55] You're going to draft irrelevant here, right? So Mr. Relevant. Yeah. Yeah. Can I tell you something, Shannon? So on God. OK. So picture it. I don't remember what survivor finale this is at. I'm at the after party. Well, I'm next. I'm talking to Lynn Spillman.

[00:49:17] Lynn Spillman comes to me. She's like, hey, hey, hey, Rob. That that girl that's out there out on the balcony. I need you to find out. I want to recruit her for the show. But is that Purple Kelly? Oh.

[00:49:38] Is this the first time you ever telling the story? I think I've been told on the patron feed. Wait, what a finale was this? I don't remember. So Lynn Spillman was gone by 20. The by. So I got up by 38.

[00:49:51] I want to say like Ghost Island or something like that. Wow. Is like recruit this girl. But you may or may not have. And this is it. And this is that this is how we, you know, was it for some people like

[00:50:03] we're just going to like our doom to preview to learn from your mistakes or you doomed to repeat them? Well, that's that's that's you hear the Gabriel Cade story that allegedly after he was on Marqueses, he auditioned for the show again and nobody recognized him

[00:50:18] until he actually got into the room and they're like, where are you on the show before? I just want to put is that a powerful. Is that real? She said it. So when did Gabriel Cade say that? What I want for there is to say

[00:50:32] there's a little thing called the quarantine questionnaire that has been my Bible for the entirety of these wish list podcasts. OK, I believe it was Purple Kelly. Well, I'm just saying, imagine being Lynn Spillman casting survivor during the Macta era, you know,

[00:50:46] you and you and anyone could be purple Kelly. Like that's very scary. That's like that's a tough, you know, because that's kind of obviously the. She could all she needs to do is just dye her hair and she basically is like Clark Kent's Superman.

[00:50:57] All she needs to do is Google Purple Kelly. She just walked around the picture of Purple Kelly. Like you put we don't know that she hasn't been on the show again. We don't know. That's true. You can't prove it. Is Jessica Purple Kelly?

[00:51:09] Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. Who knows. OK. All right. All right. I got one pic left. One time, Medivac, I was going to take Bruce Kenne guy. I could go with his spiritual successor in Joe Del Campo. The number one to his number two.

[00:51:24] Yes. Early. Who is number two work for? Somebody asked earlier like, is this like real? Like, we're just like, no, the wishlist is real. Like if you as I very much heard you loud and clear on the on the half time show,

[00:51:38] you're too old to go on the show. You're not making it. Yeah. Yeah. Here. Yeah. Whatever. Kind of guy, Mike, can you swap someone on your team to get Eliza and then have Eliza and Purple Kelly? Because I just want to watch that. Oh, that's true.

[00:51:55] That's what's going to be the drama. We have to think about how they try to trade out Kim's rather than or Natalie Anderson, which one? Kim's spreadlet. And then once she's on the no, Natalie's going to cause the drama. Natalie is like an auto lock on the game.

[00:52:06] Yeah. And that's the only category that Eliza is eligible for. Yeah. But if you take out both, then we could we could swap. We could trade. It would be good. Think about it. Just think about it. Also, let's let's throw some more spiciness in there.

[00:52:17] I forced them to throw a challenge. Wow. See how it all reacts. Well, you got you are all the car also all on the beach. While this is there, you're there and you're stirring up drama and coaching them on. All right, right.

[00:52:28] We're going to have a lot of options. So I can tell you exactly how many options I know. I could also tell myself how many options are there are not. It's bleak. There are eight options, Rob. Yeah, there are eight options. I could talk them through one time.

[00:52:45] Mail medic Vax. OK, I'll go from most recent to OK. So we have Jackson. Yep. Pat. You Zach. Yeah, Pat's tweets back. All right, I think I think for the wand off bump, you may have to go with it. Yeah, that would be good.

[00:53:02] And then if we get Jessica Pete, we could just stop doing the whole boot. When is Jessica Pete coming? Joe Joe Campo. Well, Kelly's already been cast. Great. Great one. Yeah, I've got the ice cream maker, Neil Dolly. The chat saying Randon. Oh, Randon. Interesting.

[00:53:18] Did you skip him? Like his nerves skipped. Sorry. You know what? Did I skip him or did the survivor wiki skip him? The survivor wiki. You're very important to this endeavor. Please get it together. Yeah, OK, they did. He's updated in the text, but not in the photo.

[00:53:33] OK, I got you. So Randon is interesting. Then we have also Shamar, Shamar Thomas. Yep, we have Mike Barassi, a mean motor scooter. I honestly think that's what you go. Yeah. Yes. People are saying I forgot Matthew from Matthew is not listed as a medical.

[00:53:58] Matthew was technically counted by the show's circumstances as a quite like Dana from season 25. I guess Papa Smurf must be also to met Papa Smurf as well. It was this idea where it was, hey, you can keep going from a medical perspective, but it's advised that you leave

[00:54:14] the game if you value your long term health. Joe Dowdle. Yeah, Joe Dowdle. And I believe that's that's all that's available to me. That's the eight. Canesson to our left. Yeah, so I guess I'm between Randon and Barassi. How is that even a question?

[00:54:32] I think you should be allowed Matthew with Eliza. That's my first thing. I think we should be getting these dynamics onto the tribe. But if you're choosing really between Randon and Mike Barassi, like Randon seemed like he'd be a good player. But Mike Barassi is iconic.

[00:54:45] Yeah, but like Barassi almost died. Well, Schwergenbron. I'm leaning towards Barassi. The thing that's giving me pause is does Randon get like the Venus bump for being the one person that worked with Venus? Wow, that's so, so tenuous and possibly like fair, but it's sad.

[00:55:02] That OK, so he spoke to Venus. I've spoken to Venus. I think Mike Barassi and Venus close friend. I think they're tight. You actually said that Mike Barassi is the reason she went on the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She said I'm a meaner motor scooter.

[00:55:18] Yeah, that's what I think what Devon said. I'm a mean motor scooter. I'm going to take him down to the Empire State. I'll take him down to Chinatown. Mike Barassi attended the Survivor Edition of the Price is Right on May 23rd, 2016. He did not get into the building.

[00:55:34] Lauren's asking you mentioned Neil. Rob mentioned every eligible medevac was not returned. Yeah, no, no lending to Pat. I feel like Pat could be someone that could be fun to put in there. Look at this stat.

[00:55:47] Mike is the only Mike to not reach the finale episode of the season. Is that in all seasons? Well, I count as well. I've been to a couple of finales, so I have also reached the Survivor Finale.

[00:55:59] Lindsay was doing some fun, like trying to dig and find some categories. She learned that this wouldn't have worked. But I believe Natalie Anderson is the only is the only woman in the winner of the first 40 seasons is not to play with Boston Rob.

[00:56:12] Is that true? I guess they played. Yeah, I think there's only there's only like a handful of people who have never played on a season with Boston Rob in the first 40 seasons. Yeah. Wow. Well, I think it should be noted.

[00:56:23] Yeah, there is there is a Mike that we try to forget. Oh, he did reach the finale episode in Philippines, but the first. No, that's not right. Not that way. Now I'd like to fact check that. Yeah, right. Natalie White is not only white

[00:56:35] is the only female winner across the first 40 seasons who never competed against Boston. Yeah. Can I also just get a price check on Young. Hwang, a.k.a. Wu, would that have would that have been valid? Right, because because that was his his Christian name was young.

[00:56:56] Yes. Oh, this is in the category that you have. No, I'm just asking for a fact check. And I will say now that the categories expired back in my wire Z pick, I was between the Yaman and Zeke. And I feel bad that Zeke was unfortunately not.

[00:57:09] Yeah, I was thinking of Zeke earlier also, but I ended up moving jam jammer and I probably would have allowed. Well, all right. Just look, I'm you know, Captain Lupo over here. So there we go. I'm going to go with give me a mean motor scooter.

[00:57:29] I can't I can't talk about going downtown to China town without a smile. Give it up for my Brassie. All right, Venus stands, you know what to do? Your boy is on the ballot. No, come for all we didn't take random and random new Venus ones.

[00:57:46] All right, I think I've listened to a lot of draft podcasts. I don't think there's like there's a perfect way to do this. But I think the best way for podcast listeners, especially, is for you each to recite your team, which category they're in.

[00:58:00] I think that gives the most like, yes, Rob, did the otherwise. I'm just going to be listening. Things and names. That's good. That's a good that's a good quiz of myself. Yes. So Rob, you just wrapped up with a pick. You want to recount your team? Yes. OK.

[00:58:14] My one time Medevac is the mean motor scooter. Mike Barassi. OK. Did we have a theme song for Barassi's barbecue? Yeah, I believe there was. Yeah, I think it was more so like Will from America just kind of like chanting over music.

[00:58:32] Can I say before I podcasted, I was part of the team that came up with Barassi's barbecue. Wow. And is that why I got to fame? What's that on the resume? Yeah, also the survivor devil. That was you? Yeah. Oh my God. I know. Invisible string.

[00:58:48] My. Let's see. Yeah, it's like people like when Donald Glover like wrote for 30 Rock before he was on community. Nobody knew. We were feeling a lot of things today. A lot of things. Let me see. You got public. Kelly was great. You are your team.

[00:58:59] You are your team, Rob. I've got it. I've got it. OK, great. On the card. And give a name to your team. I don't know anything different. And it's style. Well, yeah, the tribe. I mean, the tribe name, you know, that's the tribe. Yeah. OK.

[00:59:10] Owen said thank you for my birthday message, though. So that's. But did you tell him you picked him for your team? Sorry, I didn't pick you on my team. I had to pick even. Oh, and we'll understand. All right.

[00:59:19] So we've got my immunity record holder is Jenna Moresca. My under 20 survivor player is Sammy Laoddy. My amazing racer is Amber Mariano. My Y or Z person is Jam Jam. And my last guest winner is Carla Cruz Godoy. All right, Mike.

[00:59:42] All right, I have for mine one time Medevac player Bruce Kanagai from Survivor Exile Island, a record immunity win holder, necklace blank, Kim Sprodlin. We have played the game at 20 or younger, one Purple Kelly shin. We have amazing race contestant, Natalie Anderson, a Y or Z. Yeah, man.

[01:00:06] And a last gas winner in Owen Knight. I am calling my tribe Purple Puka in honor of survivor. Kirk I was also Purple Kelly being there. Love it. Purple Puka. All right, Shannon, you your your tribe. Um, yeah. The men are a lot better than the women.

[01:00:25] I. All right, somebody clip that out. I my tribe specifically. So I have shown it was which order should I do this in? So my why my why in life and my why in the straff? I have you'll gave a lot to you. Amazing racer Ethan.

[01:00:45] Last gasper winner Tom Westman. Yeah, a lot of good stuff going on here. And then and then some others. Naften under 20. Kelly Wigglesworth's most challenge wins. And who can forget Courtney Moon? I actually almost did when I was writing down my team. She she's my my Medivac.

[01:01:03] The chat, I think it's trying to get on the podcast, but Jeremy Glidden, Shannon's team is the best and it isn't even close. We got to take a call from the chat also. Shannon may finally win something. Do you want to do that?

[01:01:13] What? Let the caller decide? Yeah. Well, we have time. We're doing great on time. OK, great. Yeah. Great. You're going to let a caller just decide the whole draft. I mean, I don't know. We're just going to take and we're going to take a call to see if

[01:01:27] it's a good one whose birthday it is today. So it's always nice here. Peter, no, he's at work. He has a job. Mm hmm. Those pistols don't make themselves. Yeah. OK. He did that. Yeah. All right. Minos Minos says it's their birthday.

[01:01:44] So, Sam, let's see if we can get Minos. Look at Minos on. So, Grace, I mean, I also. Frequent participant in the chat. I mean, I could. I we also want to go rogue. I'm sure, Grace, are there a couple other random categories?

[01:01:57] Like could we do a couple of extra rounds? Bench. I do. I wanted to I wanted to highlight maybe some people that I think maybe didn't get drafted. If you I mean any record holders, I think people know, but like Chrissy Colby,

[01:02:09] Colby, Ozzie, Terry and Mike or the people did not get drafted. I think you pretty much exhausted. The players under 20. I think Michael Juerger could have been a distinct choice. Will Wall also, I think he was the youngest player to play when he played.

[01:02:22] Amazing Race contestants is full. I mean, Boston Rob, Mike White. Oh, my God. That would have been good about Ethan's. You mentioned, I think, the stuff from from Y or Zed. I think Zeke is certainly misses and Zach Wordenberger. I know his first. Werenberger Zaynite, of course.

[01:02:41] Zaynite. Spoiler alert on the ballot for Survivor 15. There were some why's also there were of the mention, after mentioned Eve Rojas, the Yasmin. Yasmin. Yes. I think we talked we talked through all the medivac contestants and then the last gasper is the only people who can get drafted

[01:03:00] are Brenda and Jason Zoe Zandakis. Zoe Zandakis is a yes would have been eligible as well. Hard and plays hard. I didn't even think of Zach because I was thinking of I only have a considered you'll but here's a category.

[01:03:14] I don't know. I mean, I mean, I feel it's special to do this again. It was very fun. But category had is has been a loved one. I think it was a very. Let's do it. Let's do a bench bench pick.

[01:03:25] Let's do like what do you think, Rob? Do you want to do like a bench pick a bench round? OK, we have three categories. You want three categories? I do. I do want to spend some time though, tonight on the coming up with idea.

[01:03:37] Do we have new suggestions for the mailbag? And we've got we've got quite a few because yes, we spoiler alert. We need to find something for next week. Yeah. Why don't we just do Grace, try a couple and then we can talk about some fun names.

[01:03:48] We don't have to actually do the draft. I think that yeah. So was a loved one. Somebody who won the arm over your head challenge. Oh, Harvey. Yes. Harvey Chuckin. Teebird, I think is that I feel like it's almost the Teebird challenge. But was a loved one.

[01:04:03] I feel like there's some fun ones there. And then I mean, Mike, you did say it, but Canadians. I mean, good Canadians. Yeah. I think I should. I would really want to take. I mean, Mary Anna, this is becoming like a real, real unfortunate

[01:04:18] decision for me. But then in terms of who's been a loved one, so who are the interesting people there? Val, Monica Colpepper, Rachel, Rachel, Laura Bonham, Nadia Anderson, Farm Guy 69. Yeah. I bought Monica Colpepper. That's that's basically the list.

[01:04:36] Yeah, could you cast the people who did not play as loved ones because I cast Thunder D. That would be fun. Jared is a is a fun. Jared Meals. That's what people want. Yeah. My mom. I'm over your raid, Donaldson. But no, it's to demand me players.

[01:04:52] The arm over your head challenge. The only I think this would be the only category you could have taken him in, which is Tony Blachess. Oh, I did. Definitely not a winner. Well, that category stacked will wall as well, who is also a player under 20.

[01:05:04] So Denise won that challenge. Chelsea Meisner won that challenge. Oh, just so when it was a war, was it for some reason, the men versus the women like top male, finish or top female finisher? It might be. I think Lindsay actually like eliminated anything

[01:05:19] where it was like multiple. Oh, OK. Yeah, I mean, like when it rains at pores, I think is the name of the challenge. Yeah. So had new era finalists. I also had professional athletes. If you had to take a professional athlete, there's a lot of them. Yeah.

[01:05:35] Like the whole of the straight. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Our champions try. Well, these are yeah. We do have a caller here. Oh, wow. Caller is here on their 21st birthday from the chat. It's Minno Minno. How are you? Oh my gosh. Hi. I'm six. Wait, Minno Minno.

[01:05:56] When do you turn 21? Today. But like what time at what time? When was the time that I was born? Yes. If I could draft you if you're still 20 years old. Yeah, as of today. Oh, I'm so sorry. It was noon. That's OK. Or at noon flat.

[01:06:13] Now, Minno, you're not drunk right now, right? Like no. OK. No, you know, this is a sober affair. You think I come to summer of survivor with anything in my body? No, I don't know. Judging by the rest of the chat, I wonder sometimes.

[01:06:28] This is what I was typing out all the teams, you know? Yeah, that really helps. Yes. Tell me about the choice of fish, Minno. What garnered the name Minno? What garnered the name Minno? It's a little fish in a big pond.

[01:06:42] You know, the cool thing about one of the few fish that protect their eggs. Isn't that so cool? Oh, I guess so. OK, that's kind of an slight to all the other fish. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. They're actually care about their children.

[01:06:57] I know that in Finding Nemo, well, they didn't really protect the eggs. That's not even so sad. It's not that full. It was the big shots full. Minno, do you have cats? So my apartment is too small, but I've grown up with them

[01:07:08] and we have five over my parents. I love my cats so much. Oh, you love cats? Would you garder cats for many predators like a Minno? Absolutely. Like absolutely. We had to go on search hunts for some of them because these little things,

[01:07:21] they will find any little looking cranny. So yeah, I was out there. I was on the street. I was like six years old. I was like, Rusty, where are you? Absolutely. Rusty! You said last week that you would adopt cats to come on the chat. No.

[01:07:36] Someone else said that. Someone else made good on that. Send me what other cat you would adopt. I do adopt a sage. The lorith and Beggar were kind enough today to be campaigning for me to be on the chat. Really? Yes. Mali behind Minno. Okay.

[01:07:47] Minno, are you saying anything special for your birthday besides attending this podcast? You just gave up the answer for what I was doing. That was special for my birthday. I usually sit on my kitchen floor when I'm watching this and have dinner.

[01:08:03] But Megan has been campaigning for me so hard since summer's survived. The wish list on Friday? Yes. I think I should not be on my kitchen floor. So thank you so much. Minno, do you have any chairs?

[01:08:18] I do in fact have a chair, but I'm at my standing desk. So. Oh, OK. Gotcha. I will say from literally before the podcast started, I look at the comments that it's Minno's birthday. She's Minno and I said, sure, I'll do that. I get it was already.

[01:08:30] They didn't have to campaign. I was going to do it. Question, do you think other people will say it's their birthday? Like sometimes people at restaurants get like tastes of their birthday. So do you think they're going to do that now?

[01:08:39] One of the things in like sports and elixin, survivor and elix, the most successful person is the person who does it first. So I think nobody whose birthday should be. Now you're banned. Now you're banned. Only only one person. That's like in this draft, you know, you throw

[01:08:53] the award person. Only one person in that category. Minno, we have a question for you from the chat. Jeremy says, Minno, if you could green light one person to survive for 50 as a birthday present, who would you pick? Todd, her talk. Question. OK. OK. Right. Pick. Great.

[01:09:09] Just a bit too old under 20. How old was Todd 21? No, I think it was like 22, 23. Yeah. He was like the flight attendant at the equipping that to be one. So he was, yeah, that was only at you. OK. Minno. Todd was 22.

[01:09:25] We're going to try now to hear ideas for what we should do for next week on the summer of Survivor. Do you have any ideas? Absolutely not. Oh. But I'm really here to have a great time. I'm a super new survivor fan. OK. No.

[01:09:42] Minno, when did you start watching? Episode five of season 46. Oh, wow. So what were you a fan of before? That's incredibly recent. I got into reality TV shows with Survivor. So OK. So tell us your origin story because you seem so excited to be here now.

[01:09:59] So you only started on this journey two months ago. Well, yes, I it spiraled because, well, I was just so I was in my last year of school like undergraduate and I was trying to figure out something right for my rhetoric paper.

[01:10:14] And there were drag race videos that mentioned Survivor. And I was like, I've never watched this show before. Who do you who do you watch on drag race videos? I watch drag detective. Yeah, I love drag detective. Jack Fed. They're all survivor fans. One Iran survivor fan.

[01:10:29] Literally, there's one line you mentioned. You can tell this person must have watched Survivor with the way they're playing this. And I was like, I guess they'll just watch the show. And fast forward, the last thing I ever submitted for my argumentation, my rhetoric

[01:10:44] degree was analysis of Marion's final tribal council. Like, yes, I did a whole presentation on that. Nobody in the class knew what I was talking about. Oh, my God, send that to her. Send that to me. Oh, my gosh, it's 33 minutes of me just being really.

[01:10:58] That's why I got this. I got it. 33 minutes on Marion's final tribal council. I hear that. Well, essentially it was an argumentation. It was a rhetoric on how you create a story of a winner. And so the hilarious thing is I put a clip from Kenzie

[01:11:15] in it before like it was just to show like, oh, this is how we all knew it was about Ben, his panic attacks. And I was showing like, this is how you frame a scene around a person who it isn't about.

[01:11:27] Because I felt like it was about Kenzie. It was incredibly obvious. Yeah. Put that in there. Here's the little scene. And then two weeks later, I was like, I foresaw. Yeah. So yes. Incredible. OK, but you've been doing this for like episode five of 46. So in that time.

[01:11:44] I've gone crazy. That's what. Oh, my God. That's insane. I mean, I've watched all of the new era seasons so far. OK. And I'm going. I'm then I'm going with Kaga Yan and I also watched David Viskalife, but now I just started Kaga Yan.

[01:11:59] But I would say about 80 percent of the names we've talked about tonight have probably largely gone over your head. Oh, absolutely. I was like, jam, jam. I know one. Oh, my God. But I've been talking with teammates when I'm on my walk. Oh, OK. I love that.

[01:12:13] That's why it was me like, Todd, because I cried during his talking with David. Oh, my God. Well, watch that season, I think. Yeah, I will definitely. But the hard thing is I love the podcast. They make me feel such a community like I love it so much.

[01:12:27] And I don't have any friends like in real life that will listen to survive, watch Survivor. So I wanted to start with like the Kaga Yan because there's podcasts about that. Yeah. Well, here's what I'll say. First off, no matter what survivor season you watch,

[01:12:39] there was a top 40 countdown done in 2020. I know that's how I decided the ones I'm going to watch. And then second, what I'll say is like if you feel like you don't have a community to talk about Survivor with, I think you just found one tonight.

[01:12:53] So that's why I'm here. Yes. OK, well, you know, happy birthday. So happy you found us. What a journey you've been on. I mean, that was awesome. Yeah. It's incredible. Will you watch Big Brother? So I listened to every single live update this summer

[01:13:12] from Taryn for BB 25 and I thought that was really fun. So I don't know if I'll watch the show, but I'll definitely turn into Taryn. Wait, without watching the show, you listen to all the live feed updates. Yeah. People do that.

[01:13:25] But did you listen to the show as well? Yeah. Do you listen to that since you found? I'm also listening to Ray Dierdave's recap. You listen to it now. You didn't listen to it last year. So you listen to it now since because the episode five of survivor 46

[01:13:39] was probably like the end of March. Yeah, April, I think. Exactly. That's when I started. It's been three months. Yeah. OK. And I don't see it. So I go on a walk. So I downloaded the podcast and I walk for like two hours every day.

[01:13:54] So you get it for you if you do that. And then yeah, I write a lot and listen to podcasts when I write. Me know you're incredible. What you're studying. So I just graduated. I study professional and legal communication and paralegal studies.

[01:14:12] And I'm hoping to get by graduate in social sciences and sociology. So yeah, OK. I work in law currently. I work as a paralegal. Wow. Incredible. All right. Well, we know thank you for calling in. Happiest of the birthday to you. Birthday, you know. Thank you so much.

[01:14:30] OK. You're a small fish no more. Oh my God. The chat was very excited. Yeah. A lot of them are drinking. Yeah. I don't ever plan on drinking. So I'm always here. I'm going to be a sober man. No, always.

[01:14:45] You would say you don't drink like a fish. I don't. But it is ironic. Oh my gosh. And the chat's so happy. This is the chat. Thank you. Thank you. Happy birthday, Me know. Birthday, Me know. Me know. Thank you so much. OK. Of course.

[01:14:58] Thank you so much for having me by everyone. I'm in a happy birthday. Bye. I don't think that we should say that we can't have anyone whose birthday it is. No, it has to be another. Chef IDs. It has to be another celebration.

[01:15:09] I'll bring someone on for an anniversary or graduation. That's a good anniversary. What are you doing? I'm watching this drive. I'm watching this. This podcast. All right. So let's get into some of these suggestions. You were going about 30 minutes to go

[01:15:22] until it's wrap up for claim to fame coming up here. Let me know. Check out claim to fame also, by the way. Well, the first thing I'll mention is what is actually on the docket before we get to new ideas. So we've talked about this and it's coming.

[01:15:38] We want to do some sort of wand off slash Josh Wiggler gets introduced to the new era of survivor. And I think submissions have come in drips and drabs. So I think it's time that we put a hard and fast date onto it. So it's happening.

[01:15:52] It's real August 7th. We are August 7th. So that is four weeks. New era wand off. Stop right there. So you have a long. I've already bought an idea. OK, wow. So you have four weeks to send in your submissions. It's preferable that they be about 60 seconds long.

[01:16:11] There is a link currently Rob has a website dot com slash wand off 2024. Go in there, fill out the form, your name. You can add the song via drop box, Google Drive, etc. All right, Mila has a question. What's a wand off? It's been a minute.

[01:16:25] Oh my God. OK, you sweet summer child. All right. Maybe we should do one. But maybe that's the idea for next week. The oral history of the wand off. Oral history of the wand off. OK, so the wand off is a survivor song parody contest.

[01:16:37] It was started by Josh Wiggler. Really in season 35 of Survivor on Robinson podcast, Josh Wiggler had a weekly spot. We called it the wiggle room and Josh opened up a song parody contest to the listeners. And the listeners were able to make song parodies

[01:16:59] about the most recent episode of Survivor and it really caught fire. People were sending in at its height, 50 to 60 submissions a week for each episode of Survivor. Now, I think the interesting thing is what will be the impact of AI on on no way? Well, no way.

[01:17:20] How will you know? How will you know? And if you ever wanted another reason to not watch Big Brother this year, it is AI themed. Yeah, yeah, I'm half watching along. But like in terms of Twitter, I know, I know, I.

[01:17:33] And if we find out that now, hold on, Shannon, like if I go to my my Twitter direct messages, don't I have a direct message AI song parody about the draft from you and pistol? The message says from read what it says.

[01:17:49] OK, not for me. It's from pistol Pete. I said to him, don't do it. I came home from a work event and he'd been feeling a bit sick and he was just like had a few hours to play it. He was just like in bed. Oh, God.

[01:18:01] OK, now this is our warm up on the off. Not OK. I can't believe this is going to get played on the podcast. But he's going to be happy about it. I will say pistol. I'm happy for one the draft. OK, all right.

[01:18:13] Here's a little something from this. From pistol Pete. OK, I haven't heard this yet. Let's listen to it. OK. You can all hear this, right? Yeah. Oh, God. Why is that? That's no way to show. Asia's back in action. Love has to go.

[01:18:30] Darren's the champion robot with a crown. Chappelle's got the worst luck always taken down. Bury is playing tactically honest and sink. Maybe they should date make the perfect. Oh, that's a good idea. Players falling but she's standing tall. Shannon's average high, but that's not all.

[01:18:47] We're drafting dreams chasing that survivor win round around the game begins again. Who will stand to fall? So maybe no AI won. No AI. The only AI we'll get. Also, it's not a it's not a harmful song about you, Shannon. It's like and she's crying.

[01:19:05] But so yeah, Michelle. No AI. Wanda off is named after Wanda Shirk, who was the first contestant not chosen in Survivor Palao, who sang on her way in and way out. Josh and Rob Wayne with that as a recurring joke.

[01:19:18] But these song parodies should be about the new era only. It should only be about Survivor 41 through 46. Sam wanted me to note if you have already sent something in and it was not through that form, send it again through the form.

[01:19:31] That way we have it all in one place. Where's the link to the form again? Rob has a website dot com slash Wanda off 2024. Wanda 20 community sent out the beacons. Gondor calls for aid. OK, all right. So that's coming up.

[01:19:44] That's going to be the first week in August, first Wednesday in August. OK, so be able to look over that. All right. What a treat. It's just the ideas. Why is this start from the chat? I missed it. Fifth group brand or said, Shannon's not a bad drafter.

[01:19:56] Look at how many times she's won the RITP draft. Why the drive by from Brando? No, that's when we were talking. That's I think when we were joking about you picking Courtney, man, maybe it is just way earlier than makes it OK, Brando. Well, well, you got Brando.

[01:20:12] What do you want? You got right. Oh, yeah. That's a throwback. That's what if you just come on to people? What if people get brand out? People only get what a throwback, Rob, to our season 45 preseason coverage. OK. All right. All right.

[01:20:29] All right, Mike, what else we got? Yes, by the way, there's a thundering thunderous thunder in the background. I don't know if you could hear it, but if I happen to. If my if my stream goes down, that you'll know what happened.

[01:20:43] All right. So I mean about Peter's A.I. song is his birthday yesterday. Slash today. It's fine. We've got plenty of rounds. That's all news. Yeah. All right. So I got some stuff thrown out. So we did a little bit of like a last minute solicitation.

[01:20:58] I mean, I'll put this out at the top. Next week is the Big Brother premiere. Do we want to do something Big Brother adjacent? OK, do tell. I mean, that's really the gist of the idea. It could be like casting Big Brother players on Survivor.

[01:21:15] It's tough because Shannon's Shannon's very limited knowledge of other is going to it's going to make it very tough. Yeah. Yeah. Doesn't get me that excited. And people, if we come up with an idea in the next like 20 minutes

[01:21:28] that is dealing with Big Brother in the chat, I'd be more than happy to take it. But I just want to throw it out there. I don't think this is something that we would do, but it has been suggested to do a like brand steel or cast

[01:21:40] in all star season of Battle of the Eras in honor of the challenge where maybe you do like five tribes of one through 10, 11 through 20, 21 through 30, 31 through 40, 40. I feel like the wish list could you do five tribes in a brand steel?

[01:21:54] No, you can't. We wouldn't do a brand steel. It would just be more so casting this season. If we were to go out of things, I mean, we we just did a trap, but we could do another interesting. I don't know if it's a drag.

[01:22:06] I think we should collaborate to. I kind of like that if we did like a battle of the Eras casting battle of the Eras, what are we putting 30 people in? Is that not what the wish list kind of is? Like we have we have we know.

[01:22:18] I mean, that's going to be the way in like a month from now. Yeah, it's being covered. By the way, Mike, I asked Dr. Christian Hubekki about how we should do the voting and he suggested that there should be, you know, put all these people on now

[01:22:33] and then after one round of voting, get it down to 50 and then have the real vote. I don't disagree. I will talk this obviously offline, but I have been convinced Christian is definitely not the first nor the last person to tell me that.

[01:22:46] And I have been convinced more and more we may need a qualifying round. So well, we'll cross that. We need to get into French politics, but look what happened there was very successful. So listen, Grace, nobody tells us how to do an election here in the USA.

[01:22:59] All right. Every we never stop with our elections. You ever have a Macron, Jeff? All right. So put down the Le Pen, bro. That's all my survivor of French election references. What about something? I feel like we haven't done a tier list in summer of survivor here.

[01:23:18] Hold on. We want to do a tier list. We could do tier lists of voting confessionals. Could be interesting. Shannon, I'm sort of glomming off of some stuff that you talked about during the one liners bracket, maybe like RHAP soundbites could be interesting. Don't hate that.

[01:23:34] What about I don't think the time limit will come back to bite us on this. But what happened to celebrity Bran Steele? OK, so that's it. Bran Steele is an idea. Yeah, so I'm I'm open to it. I've been talking with Mike that I'd like to start doing

[01:23:50] Bran Steele's as a patron perk that would be more regular. But I'm open to if we did one just to get people. Yeah, the first the first taste can be free. Yeah. Get him addicted. And I don't know what I'm talking about.

[01:24:07] Our schedule is like if we could maybe try to start a little early next day. The initial idea was like that you could get some buzz of people. Yeah. Yeah. The celebrities that we watch. That's my thought on it.

[01:24:17] If we did that one, we would want the celebrity. We want to tag the celebrities. We can get medium Sheldon. I think we could get medium Sheldon possibly even on the podcast. Wow. I mean, that's a lot. That's I don't know that we can do that.

[01:24:29] I'm just I was just talking. I don't want to have to. Wow, I didn't think you. It's like when Marcia said she'd booked Davy Jones for the dance. He is exactly like that. Exactly. Let's go with Shannon's idea. Book medium Sheldon on the podcast.

[01:24:43] We just talked to medium Sheldon. OK, it's a possibility. OK, it's noticed. All right. So I do think celebrity brain steel could definitely be up there. And I think we can fill out a cast.

[01:24:56] We could even cut it down to 16 and do it like super bare bones, Borneo, no idols, etc. Yeah, that's good idea. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they're all idols to me, but sure. Let's see. I mean, there is something about still like the best

[01:25:10] why I guess you still wanted to save Rob the best episodes for next year, unless we want to do something else of some sort of like draft of drafting survivor episodes. I really know that we're looking for an idea.

[01:25:21] We have such a good idea and you're waiting for the 10 year anniversary of something no one could tell you the date of if you had not looked it up. Hey, I have come. I had a format idea that I wonder for a while.

[01:25:32] I think I pitched it on Renate a couple times. I think there's something to it that's a little different, which is basically Rob, a royal rumble. Yep, which is where you start with two things

[01:25:43] and you get votes in terms of if you want to eliminate one of the two things. And then you sort of like add more things, but if things get enough votes, they're limited. I know it sounds a little complicated. How are we going to vote?

[01:25:53] Grace, you got you. You would you three would like you could cast your vote to eliminate something. And if it eventually accumulates enough point, what is being put into the rumble? Whatever you whatever you want to see players. I don't think you want to do.

[01:26:08] I mean, can we do like rap? But like, yeah, I'm talking about like podcast ideas or would it be like survivor season for a rumble? Yeah, something like that or like some something that you like,

[01:26:18] I love that you would like tier list or like that you would like it a little more. I don't think you want to have the I mean, you could you could have people. But I think you get a little you're eliminating from what I think it's

[01:26:29] interesting if for as a mechanism, but I think that we're still missing the what is the thing that we are going to be talking about? Yeah, I think that RITB soundbites is a fun thing to filter through one of these games.

[01:26:45] And Rob, I feel like you still have a pretty extensive back catalog, like readily available. Yeah, I think so. A lot of this will be retro all time soundbite. I think that could be fun. All time survivor soundbites. It's interesting. The one line of draft we just did.

[01:26:59] But that was no, it's different. Do it again. I do a one line of draft every week, because I would say that like things like Love You Bay obviously did not make the one line or draft previously.

[01:27:08] But I think that Tony is Tony finding the idol is a great soundbite. Like it wasn't the one line of draft. We're like, Dinkachinkaching. Yeah. Debbie was so much Debbie on this on this podcast. I'm talking co wrong in a couple days. It's on the brain. Yeah.

[01:27:24] OK. Wow. Didn't take you. Dinkachinkaching. He that takes me back. Yeah, yeah. I think there's something there. You know, there was. I. Exactly. Or we're in Kaurang. We don't need no more heat, baby. Like there's a there's a lot of.

[01:27:45] Kaurang. Listen, we don't need no more heat, baby. It's really clear to see what eras of the podcast were very soundbite reliant. We really went through our peaks and valleys. OK, that's an idea. But what are we doing with the soundbite?

[01:27:59] I mean, let's say we could do bracket. I feel like we want to do something other than a bracket because we've already done a bracket every week. We've already done a draft. We could do an auction draft. We could do a tier list.

[01:28:11] The auction draft will be hard because I feel like we'd need to know. Yeah, but I think a bracket might actually like maybe we do this. I think it is seems like a bracket. Like I would say let the let the listeners

[01:28:22] like and I would seed the bracket based off of like number of submissions for the same thing. And so like let the things that like got like seventy three submissions like that should be like a one seed and things

[01:28:33] they got like two or three like those are 16 seeds because I think we could blow through it pretty quick. OK, all right. So I think that you say that and then. So I think that's I would say right now the leaders in the clubhouse

[01:28:44] are that or Grace is here by the brand steel next week. Yeah. OK, trying to see if there are any other right in ones. I mean, I think some some ones that are certainly in the in the hopper,

[01:28:58] though I don't think would necessarily come out this time around. But still our ideas that are going to be put in eventually, of course, part two of defining survivor moments for the rest of the seasons. I think if we want to try to do either

[01:29:11] daddies versus fathers versus Zaddy's or it's a look through time with what is it? Daddies versus fathers versus Zaddy's. Yeah, I have to be the same. Yeah, what? Fathers are the people who are priests. Yes. OK. So I understand that.

[01:29:28] I understand like are our daddies different than Zaddy's? Oh, yes. Yes, they are. Explain it to me like I'm Rob, Mike. OK, well, I think that like a Zaddy. I mean, I think it's like degrees of urges, you know, like,

[01:29:45] like how do you feel down there and what is it a D or is it a Z? What that what I'm saying? That's really. I don't know if I really understand it. It's more of a feeling, I think, that where you play somebody.

[01:30:01] I don't I don't know about feeling down. So a dad is like an attractive older man. Yeah, Zaddy is more so kind of encompassing all ages where it's more so like a guy with swag who's got the daddy. Daddy feels superfluous as a category.

[01:30:18] Hmm. Well, can you give me examples? Can you give me an example of like? Yeah, sure. So I was saying that I would say Papa Bear. Papa Bear is a daddy. But I would say that Papa Smurf is

[01:30:35] no, I would say Papa Bear more so as a Zaddy because he has had swag and he literally had swag. He had a rock swinging around in his pocket. Papa Smurf is more of a daddy. I think he's dead. I'm glad he's on a category. It's not.

[01:30:50] I would say daddy is more like PG. Is the podcast not daddy's versus daddy's versus dad's? But daddy is different than that. What then what the hell is dad? What's dad? That is like, oh, come on, dad. Come on, dad. No, is that that Papa Smurf?

[01:31:08] No, dad is like. Papa Smurf is a Zaddy. Terry Deets is daddy. Did you see the podcast? No, dad, someone who would be like, if you don't stop it back there, I'm turning this car around. Which Terry Deets would do?

[01:31:26] All right. So maybe we'll pass on the men this time around. Well, like we have two literal fathers. Get back to me when you all can tell me what this podcast is. I did. I outlined it for you with.

[01:31:37] If you like, if we convert it to gaze and then we do bears and otters. That's how is Papa Smurf. Bears, not drinks. Versus. Yeah, is that easier? No, OK, OK. A dad is Terry Deets. A daddy. No. No, dad is like Roxroy. OK, that is good.

[01:31:59] OK, because he would say I'm turning this car out. OK, dad is Roxroy. That's good. Let's just get one of each so that we know that we move. OK. Then a daddy is like. One of any. OK. So somebody is still I'm still waiting for the explanation

[01:32:12] of a Zaddy versus a daddy. And daddy is an old daddy. Dad, daddy, daddy is Terry Deets. And I would say a Zaddy is somebody like should I text price right now? Like hot like hot like hot cop Dan. Back in the hot day and what a Zaddy.

[01:32:28] I think I have on good authority that he's not. He didn't do not make the calendar. And then what's a father as Twitter? A father is like is like mother, you know. And how is that different to Zaddy? Oh, well, Zaddy is a purely aesthetic thing.

[01:32:45] Father is more so a state of being. OK, I don't want to do this. All right. All right. So I have on my short list here, casting the errors, battle the casting, the battle of the errors. For now, is that the challenge that is about to start?

[01:33:05] So it's starting in about a month. Sorry about a month. Should we try to time that closer to. We have a lot of ideas that once we put there'll be like two other survivor podcasts that I'll do before we get to it now.

[01:33:16] I mean, that's that's very valid as well. No credit us copyright. They never do. Shannon, they never do reveal. And now you're like you're in limbo. You're in like the season as a start at limbo. We can't we can't we could.

[01:33:30] So we do have something that we're doing. So we do have an open spot as well in a couple of weeks as well, I believe on the 24th. But Rob, I don't believe you'll be here for that. That's not the other thing that the week

[01:33:41] I'm not going to be here is the 31st. OK, gotcha. OK. So that we have things for all of these weeks. We have so many. It's just next week that we have. We don't have something. Yeah. OK. And if you have some.

[01:33:52] We know we have two spots that we have to fill. We have to fill today. Today is the 10th, right? So we have the 17th and the 24th to fill. Yep. Wow. And then you guys do whatever you want on the 31st. Celebrity survivor. I really think

[01:34:06] celebrity survivor. And I think we get in the time limit. Yes, I think we are. Or if need be, if we want to meet early, I think it's OK. I think we should do celebrity brand steel for the reason of.

[01:34:20] It can kick off the whole patron perk of it all. And like it should be a part of summer of survivor. Like it's a format that is like key to survivor nonsense, which is what this is and not having a brand still in it would be done.

[01:34:33] OK, all right. So next week, we will do the celebrity brand steel. Yes. So we will behind the scenes make a list of all of the celebrities who are explicit fans, their fans. Should we let the listeners weigh in for people?

[01:34:50] Like I think we shouldn't allow the listeners to submit their so like sort of like start like ginning up the social media of. A week after claimed to fame, too, it's so smart. Yeah. And I mean, I do think that we kind of have figured out

[01:35:06] the list back when this was like an idea prior to summer of survivor. But if this just causes a little bit of a dust cloud to get kicked up in the directions of some people and some ads get thrown around, why the hell not? Mm hmm. Yeah.

[01:35:19] I hope that a medium Sheldon is graduating next week because he might be out chat guests. I hope it's his anniversary or some other. Oh, I was like graduating. I was like, I don't think he's in school. I hope he likes. Catherine is nice to me.

[01:35:32] The criteria, some sort of non birthday celebration. Nice to me. Yeah, as well. Like cats feeds cats something cat related as the triple. OK, so celebrity survivor, Brant Steele next week may or may not be a little bit earlier.

[01:35:47] Stay tuned to the social media to find out the time that we're starting. But yeah, we'll run it back and see in this survivor season that so many people have talked about. I feel like every time a celebrity announces that they're a survivor fan,

[01:35:59] they're like, oh, what if they did this season with all these people? Now we're finally putting pen to paper. And I'm going to just have to pray that Taylor Swift comes out with it in the next week, that she's a huge survivor fan. She was rooting for Charlie.

[01:36:11] Maybe I could find some sort of sign if she if she like because she communicates through through signs. So maybe if I could find that we could include her. You OK? Will you reference in Taylor on purpose when you did that? Yes. OK, good.

[01:36:28] But you know the law. Yes. Yes. Didn't you write about Charlie? Isn't that right? No, I don't know. No, she did two surprise songs that might have been about Charlie and Maria DVD. OK, all right. So this was a lot of fun tonight.

[01:36:41] We really did great here with the Fantasy Tribe draft. Stick around tonight. Claim to Fame is coming back. Jenny, I mean, I will talk about it. You've never seen Claim to Fame. There is a house filled with celebrity relatives.

[01:36:57] Their job, figure out who everybody else is related to while keeping their own identity a secret, hosted by the duo of Kevin Jonas and Franklin Jonas. It's been a very fun summer show the last two years. We're excited to talk about season number three.

[01:37:13] We'll do it live at 10 15 p.m. Eastern tonight. One week from tonight, Big Brother 26 is kicking off. And to get ready for Big Brother 26, we have our own exciting competition coming this Friday. The R.H.A.P. Pressure cooker is happening live this Friday at noon Eastern

[01:37:34] 9 a.m. Pacific. I believe 10 podcast and reality TV personalities will take part in the ultimate endurance competition live in front of the live streamed viewers. Don't miss a second of the inaction starting at noon on Friday. Go to Robbets and Webster.com slash YouTube.

[01:38:01] Make sure you subscribe and hit that bell notification to make sure you don't miss our own pressure cooker. Grace leader is talking about all of the scripted TV things happening over on R.H.A.P. We know scripted TV.

[01:38:18] Grace, you and Taryn much like some of our favorite Game of Thrones characters are on fire. Oh, thank you. Yeah. But yeah, we're doing good. Yeah, we're just watching all the TV and then telling you what you should and shouldn't watch. So that's what we're doing.

[01:38:31] And then for House of the Dragonbands, we did a little special Fire and Blood book club with Mari forth, Maester Mari. So that should drop, I believe on Friday. So we got for that. Yes. OK. The Saris Zaddy dad.

[01:38:48] Definitely dad like this speech that this speech that he is more alert, the speech that he gives in like the hours before his death is very dad. I'm like, hey, you can stop it. OK, make me turn this dragon around. All right.

[01:39:03] Shannon, what will you do between now and then? Between now and our next podcast. Work now, hang out with my cast. Oh, I'm going to the Hamilton rehearsal on Saturday. That's not a podcast thing. I'm really I want a competition. I want to go into a Hamilton rehearsal.

[01:39:22] You know, I want a competition. So I guess you go to the rehearsal on Saturday. You're going to be in the room where it happens. I mean, that was the name of the competition. Yeah. So and then. So I'm going to be doing that from a podcast perspective.

[01:39:38] Firstly, I'm so confused about the pressure. Who could think like I am? What are you confused about? So will they have? Will they be pressing a button? No. OK. They just have to hang out. No, they will be having to do a one specific physical activity.

[01:39:55] Gotcha. It's not necessarily the ultimate big brother fan sojourner being terminally online. Yes. Yes. That they will have to they will have to hold a specific position. Interesting. Because I was going to say because he has done like 24 hour streams,

[01:40:09] which I've been on because he's always like it's three in the morning for me when who is awake? So I was going to put my money on him and maybe I still do. How exciting that you're doing that. I'm covering with Puyah traders New Zealand.

[01:40:22] Well, that's what I'm doing. So I'll do that probably between now and then I'm doing this. Yeah. Thanks for having me. OK. All right. Shannon, great job. We'll see you next Wednesday. And then Mike, what's coming up for you? Wishless, wishless and more wishless.

[01:40:39] Of course, earlier today, I talked Philippines with Jake O'Cain, which was a lot of fun, great guy to talk about a great season as we put more people on the wish list. Rest of this week is going to be Karamoan tomorrow with Omer

[01:40:52] because this can't spell Karamoan without O-M-A-R and Blood vs. War. Thank you with Akiva with Uncle Keeve. So it should be a great time as we move out of the dark ages of survivor into some very fun seasons. I came back to TV for real this week

[01:41:08] and I got to talk about a little show called Lost with speaking of Big Brother. How fun. Corey Wernberger came on. Corey is a gigantic fan of Lost. He is a hatchling, a huge down the hatch fan. He shouted out down the hatch when I interviewed him

[01:41:22] after he was booted from Big Brother. And so we talked at length about his thoughts on Lost and we ended up as a special bonus surprise for Big Brother fans casting Big Brother 25 players as Lost characters. So really recommend people check that out.

[01:41:38] And then I was also on the Purple Pans podcast upcoming this week. They're doing a rewatch slash first watch of the Amazing Race Five, which is my favorite amazing race season, one of my favorite reality TV seasons of all time.

[01:41:49] So I joined Bryce and Brooke to talk about an episode there. But otherwise, let's have other stuff happening. You know, if and when the Big Brother 26 cast drops, you know, I'll have that information as well as other random stuff. I have all the pictures from the house.

[01:42:02] If people want to check out what's going on with that very interesting decor, you can follow everything I'm doing, including my cameo at a Mike Bloom type. All right. Great job. Mike, once again, we will be back with more Summer of Survivor seven PM again next Wednesday night.
