[00:00:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Survivor 47
[00:00:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Preseason Scramble and we are getting ready two a days appropriately here for
[00:00:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Sam and Sierra back here with mr. Preseason give it up for Mike Bloom
[00:00:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Domo Aragata mr. Robata, we're here to finish off talking gotta today
[00:00:29] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, you gotta stop okay
[00:00:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just taking a trip through time. I made the 90s reference then the 80s reference
[00:00:38] [SPEAKER_01]: So we're all over the place
[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_01]: We gotta go when it comes to the gotta tribe
[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_01]: But not before we talk about our last two members and a little bit of
[00:00:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Prognosticating Rob as to now that you know this six somehow things might work out initially great
[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_02]: You gotta make sure you're subscribed to make sure you don't miss anything from the past five days or the next three days
[00:00:56] [SPEAKER_02]: We will round out with one more tribe here in our
[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Preseason this is really like a mad dash here in the shortest preseason ever as we are getting ready for
[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Survivor 47 make sure you go to Rob as a website comm slash subscribe to get the links to subscribe
[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_02]: So you don't miss any of it Mike? All right, we've got Sam and we've got Sierra
[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Anything you want to tee up here for Sam?
[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Alright so Sam Phelan hopefully not Phelan when it comes to this game Sam, I believe actually Rob
[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_01]: This might surprise you. Yeah, I think Sam is the first American
[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Survivor contestant named Sam Wow, okay. I mean
[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Does not surprise me
[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Considering how much we talk about the past seasons of Survivor but good to know
[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_01]: So look in these he's first of his name in many ways and he hopes to rule over the kingdom though
[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_01]: He is more of a Titan because Sam is 24 years old and he is a sports reporter specifically
[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_01]: He is a beat reporter for the Tennessee Titans such a media heavy season
[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like this is like a backdoor theme
[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah
[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_01]: so I want to talk about that actually for a second before we get into Sam because yeah it is
[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Wild and say will probably be an actually Sierra will talk about has a little bit of broadcast journalism
[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Experience as well, but it is weird no theme to this season. Obviously it's new era
[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_01]: But we have Sam Rome eSports commentator John love it quite obviously works in commentary Asia has experience in
[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Podcasting I actually asked Jeff about this as well and he did say it was entirely coincidental
[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_01]: but he does point out that like
[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey a large part of the reason why you get on the show in the first place is that you have a great way
[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Of words and expressing yourself and describing things in a very colorful and entertaining way
[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And so I think it makes a lot of sense
[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just kind of wild to see a confluence of them
[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Altogether and it also does make me think to go back a little bit to our talks on John love it
[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_01]: You could think on paper with any of these people. Oh, well with their day-to-day
[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_01]: They're such good talkers
[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_01]: We can't let them get to the end because their persuasive skills are gonna take over at a final Tribal Council if there is
[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Season for one of these types of people to succeed it would be this one where there are so many of them that it kind
[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Of all neutralizes each other out. Okay Mike
[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Anything else you want to set up about Sam before we listen to your conversation with him?
[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_01]: No, let's go to the sidelines and do some nice pregame conversation with Sam Phelan. All right, Sam Phelan is standing by
[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go out to Sam. All right. Well to start things off. Let's just jump into it
[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Why don't you give me in your name age and your occupation?
[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_03]: My name is Sam Phelan. I am 24 years old and I'm a sports reporter
[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so what's like the the main team the main?
[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Fear I should say that you're kind of I mean the sports are all about spheres
[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_03]: But I guess from that different has to date. I work in the NFL. So I cover the Tennessee Titans
[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_03]: I live in Nashville and I'm a I'm a beat reporter
[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_03]: So I am boots on the ground in the locker room
[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Getting my microphone in with different players side conversation schmoozing the quarterback to get the latest update about an injury
[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Reporting the news to all the fans out there and then firing off articles podcasts my takes about what's going on in the sports world
[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, it's a dream come true as far as a job is concerned for sure
[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah timing wise I imagine you were just like balls to the wall with the draft and then you hopped into doing Survivor right afterwards
[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Dude, yeah, it was like full full swing full tilt boogie as Jeff would say on draft content and then like six days later
[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm on a plane to Los Angeles and then Fiji and like here we go
[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_03]: So my world went from like full digital all the time to like now
[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just stripped down with nothing but my thoughts in the water
[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, let's go from your transition from covering the Titans to hopefully becoming a Titan in this game
[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Talk to me about your history watching Survivor and what made you decide to go from spectator observer commentator to player
[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Mike I'm a day one fan like it
[00:05:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Nights survivor nights. That was my Super Bowl growing up man. Like that was I would not coming from you, especially
[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I would go to church every night and then I'd be like trying to get out at church ASAP
[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like mom dad. We gotta watch survivor tonight
[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I gotta go talk about it with people who don't care at school tomorrow because I just have to talk about it with somebody
[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_03]: So every night would go home would watch it became obsessed with the show like
[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Everybody goes and plays with the kids in their neighborhood and just like tries to make up their own games
[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I forced every kid in my neighborhood to play Survivor. We would sit on my trampoline. I would be Jeff
[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_03]: We'd vote each other out on Post-it notes. We do challenges in the backyard. I made my own survivor back then
[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_03]: So this is like the lifetime dream here that is now coming to fruition in Fiji
[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_01]: How long have you been applying for when you decide to make the transition from Post-it notes to parchment?
[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so this is my it was my second application. I kind of consider it my first application
[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I did one like I think it when I was like 19 or 18 years old like right when I became eligible
[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Probably a really bad application that just hadn't like I would be ashamed if that ever found its way to leak like whatever
[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Video I submitted back then. I just didn't know myself quite as much
[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't like have a real sense of like peace within myself
[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't have cool stuff going on in my life and life experiences that like shaped me for the game
[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_03]: And I kind of felt like now is the time like I felt really good about it. I'm engaged
[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm getting married next next year Wow
[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_03]: And so I'm just like I don't know I submitted application felt great about it
[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Got a call a couple days later and here I am
[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Well congratulations you speak about those life experiences if you could boil it down to one
[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_01]: That you feel will most inform the way that you approach survivor. What would that life experience be I hate to I
[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Hate to bring everything back to my job all the time
[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_03]: But I really do feel like being a sports reporter is like playing survivor every day
[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I am like dealing with professional athletes. You are a professional ego stroker
[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_03]: You are making people feel good about themselves
[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_03]: You are asking the right questions to get information
[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_03]: You are capitalizing on information and to get information you have to build solid relationships with a player an agent a coach an executive
[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Whoever it is so I feel like that has really made me equipped to
[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_03]: To play this game to be what everybody needs me to be individually
[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_03]: And that might be different for a different person or a different relationship of like how can I?
[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Be your safe space to tell me stuff, and then how do I use it to my advantage?
[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Mmm, so if you could give me a winner and a non-winner from survivor who you identify with the most are you pulling for?
[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Many of those NFL players that have graced the beaches no no I hope not they don't do very well
[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_03]: So hopefully the media does better than the players
[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's hard. I don't know if there's genuinely like a winner like me that has played survivor
[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe that's bad for me. Maybe it means I'm due. I don't know I would say the winner
[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll go Michelle Fitzgerald
[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Survivor Cal rung I love Michelle. I admire Michelle
[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I think she is super like gritty a lot more than just her appearance
[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I think she found a way to be like socially adaptable
[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Insulate herself never really raised her head too high or too low and found a way to like navigate the game and be well
[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Liked by everybody so love her non-winner. I'll go Devin Pinto
[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_03]: There's a name I haven't heard in a while I love Devin Pinto
[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I think he played a super underrated game and and the reason I say that is I don't think you often see the
[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_03]: athletic
[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_03]: fret bro
[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_03]: archetype like bros bro survivor player play and number one not care to be in control or be the alpha of the game and
[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_03]: To find a way to have strong relationships across the board and so that's kind of the game that I want to play
[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't want control early on. I don't want to be in charge early on
[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I just want to be your extra vote your person your safe space to go and then I'm gonna make a late run when it's too late
[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Of course being a reporter your goal
[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Especially from a sports perspective right is to get an answer is to get something out of someone that you can use later
[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_01]: On how much do you think that's going to translate into a game like survivor?
[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Let alone also be at the sort of like beck and call of a report from Jeff Probst as well
[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, huge. I think like I read body language whenever somebody talks
[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_03]: To me in the locker room. I read body language before I talk to somebody in the locker room
[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that guy in a mood to talk today?
[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_03]: He just cost his team the game and missed the 35 yard field goal
[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Should I really go in and stick a microphone in his face and say hey how you feeling right now?
[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I know not to ask the dumb questions that are gonna rub people the wrong way
[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_03]: And I know how to like I said earlier kind of phrase your question in a way that
[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Strokes the ego of somebody makes them feel good that makes them more willing to maybe give up something
[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_03]: They don't want to tell they shouldn't tell you
[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_03]: There have been many times in my my work life where I've asked the question
[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I've immediately turned and sent a text over to my boss been like got a great quote out of somebody like he gave me
[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_03]: A lot of information that's really good stuff
[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_03]: So I think that'll help me when I'm you know
[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Asking where the votes are going asking how they feel about somebody as you know even reading into like you said
[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_03]: What somebody's saying to Jeff at tribal council, and do they really mean that when they say it?
[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_01]: So I would imagine that that's probably the biggest superpower you're bringing in understandably
[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_01]: So what would you say is your biggest piece of kryptonite that you're bringing in?
[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Can I add another superpower I do think listen absolutely take on as many as you want to hear on me man
[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I think I think I another superpower that I have is to
[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Fit in and gel with a lot of different groups like I played sports growing up
[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_03]: But I was also a theater kid growing up like I did a lot of musical there. I did drama
[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I did scholastic bowl. I wrote slam poetry
[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_03]: My my childhood and like high school experience was very much like alright. I can hang with the athletes
[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_03]: I can hang with the theater kids. I can hang with the choir people
[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I can I found my way to fit in and have friends in each of those pockets
[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think out here whether it's another super like athletic guy
[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_03]: And I got a bro out for a minute whether it's somebody totally different from me
[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's like you know a nerd that likes all their like nerdy things like I got a nerdy brain in
[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_03]: This body here, and so I can do that as well
[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_03]: So I think that's another superpower kryptonite will be
[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_03]: My competitive nature. I'm a competitive person and at times
[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I just have to be very conscious of this and control this in the game
[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Competitiveness can make me
[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Upset and like act out at times if like in moments of weakness of like I'm mad that somebody cost us the challenge
[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm mad that somebody's not doing things the way that I want them to go
[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_03]: So I just have to keep that in check and remember like hey long game here, buddy relax
[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not worth like you know making a big deal about as long as I can contain that I think I'll be okay
[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_01]: You talk about being a master of body language. Let's put that to the test
[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure you have some opinions about the people that you've been about with the past few days
[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's start with the positive side first who are some people that you think day one best case scenario
[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm on the beach with you. These are my ride or dies man
[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_03]: So this was a person that I first reaction was like not about and the more that I've just seen them
[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_03]: I love them. It's an older woman with blonde hair her name
[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_03]: SS or her initials I believe and she she's got like she was more like a Louis Vuitton bag and Louis Vuitton
[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Slides out here, which I was like okay. That's a bold choice off off the bat
[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_03]: She talks probably more than anybody else like very talkative
[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know. I just love her I get great vibes like I just want to talk to her
[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I want to be friends with her. Um, there's another girl as well. I
[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_03]: trying to figure out like
[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe like Hawaiian
[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I think she's reading a book about like how to speak Hawaiian and has like a like a Hawaiian shirt on one day
[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Like darker skin dark curly hair
[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_03]: She's all smiles and I like that. I think it might be a little bit dangerous
[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_03]: But overall if she's on my tribe, I think I'm going straight to her and trying to be like hey
[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's let's do this thing now. How about on the how about on the other side?
[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to judge any boats by their cover
[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_03]: However being said yeah, but I'm going to do it
[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_03]: There is one guy he's like
[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_03]: shorter guy
[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_03]: White dude with like honestly, I can't tell if he's like 20 or 40. I don't know what his age is whatsoever
[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Is very odd to me. He doesn't smile at all and like he kind of just like feels very like
[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_03]: calculated walking around like he looks like a thinker and
[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm very wary of him coming into this. So we'll see like I said, I'll give him a shot
[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_03]: But I'm I'm nervous about that one
[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_01]: What would you say is your biggest takeaway from survivor 45 and 46 that you are bringing into survivor 47?
[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Whoo
[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't play the game too fast easy. I think survivor 46. I haven't seen how it ends obviously, but we're
[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_03]: We saw a lot of people turn on their number one allies at 10 11 9 8
[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Why why like the game now?
[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_03]: The new era has told us all about find a place to hide find a place to hide for as long as possible and
[00:14:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Right when people see the light at the end of the tunnel you need to be the light and you're the freight train
[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_03]: That's how I want to play the game like it but you do it too early. And so we saw
[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Tevin turn on soda he goes home hunter allows Tevin to go out of the game goes home with an idol in his pocket
[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Like Kenzie goes in and targets Tiffany
[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Which then leads to Tiffany being sent out of the game and now Kenzie potentially is vulnerable in a lot of ways
[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_03]: So I want to keep my allies as long as possible. I want to stay insulated for as long as possible
[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I want to make sure that if I'm making that move it's in a spot where I don't have to survive four more tribal councils on
[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_03]: immunity wins and idols and
[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Sheer luck just to get to the end of the game. I want to do it when they realize oh
[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Like Sam just made a big ballsy move and now we can't get him because it's too late and he's gonna win the game
[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_01]: What is your most controversial survivor opinion? I mean you come from sports media. You are not a stranger to hot take
[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm a hot take guy. I love a good hot take. Okay, I'll give you two number one brief
[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I think winners at war midseason at best
[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I really don't because it didn't have you on it the winner of survivor 47 exactly 50 will talk 50 will talk
[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_03]: 47 or 40. I don't know
[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Reason being for that one. I just felt like so many of the players didn't come to win
[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_03]: they came to like kind of make it a capstone on their survivor career and
[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_03]: They got to a point like eight seven six in the game where they were just like hey vote me out
[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_03]: It's been a great ride
[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like no you're playing to be a survivor legend the greatest ever if you win twice and like especially if you're two for
[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Two at it
[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_03]: So that kind of bothered me. Here's my hottest one
[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_03]: The best player always wins
[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_03]: There has never been such thing as a robbed survivor player. The best player always wins and is always deserving
[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I believe the game is a game built on we hear it all the time social contract
[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_03]: What is your season's social contract?
[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think you know objectively you could look at a season 43 and say hey
[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Jesse on any other season of survivor
[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Probably outplays everybody else from his cast and he probably does better than Gabler on most seasons of survivor
[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_03]: But Gabler played the best game of season 43 the same way jam jam played the best game of 44 and the reason why
[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Is because he found a way to get himself to the end and navigated the endgame
[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Navigated the jury that he was dealt to win the game there. It's just hard to argue for me
[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_03]: So I think yeah everybody who wins deserves to win
[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Well last but certainly not least if you could bring a celebrity or a fictional character out
[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_01]: For a loved one's visit who you pick in and why you going in house you gonna try to pick a
[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I would say Ryan Tannehill's not limping lay out here. No, definitely not
[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_03]: None of the Titans would be able to help me out here. So like they're they're out
[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, alright, here's a weird one that I just randomly thought of give me Harvey Specter from suits
[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I think like so I'm a super you might not be able to tell from this interview Mike
[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_03]: But the last like three days been like an emotional experience for me. I'm a super emotional guy
[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I cry all the time. You're gonna see it on television guaranteed probably within the first two episodes
[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, and I think I just like feel a lot of emotions a lot. I'm very vulnerable with my emotions
[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I hope to use that to my advantage to connect with people and I think Harvey Specter would be the guy to come in
[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And tell me hey knock it off. It's game time. We got to slit some throats. We got to win this game
[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_03]: and I just think it would be like their right level of
[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Push that I need to make sure like hey, we're not taking allies to the end if we're gonna lose to them
[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_03]: We're not we're not joking around and settling for second third or fourth place we're coming here to be the sole survivor
[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_01]: This was such an awesome conversation man to your point
[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I know that it's probably has been just a
[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Maelstrom of stuff going on in the past little while in the lead-up to it
[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_01]: But I had such a great time getting to chat with you to get you know, you're finger-lick pulse
[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_01]: We're talking in the locker room basically before you're out to go there and play the big 26 day game
[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Listen if you survived all the turmoil of the QB changes in Tennessee the past season you can survive survivor
[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Hopefully man. Yeah, I don't know we're gonna they yeah, that's been a whirlwind and coaching changes to like there
[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Nobody's surviving in the Tennessee Titans locker room right now
[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you will be the constant of the Titans to emerge supreme here
[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_01]: You'll be number one in your division in season 47. This was a great time, man
[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for taking the time to chat
[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I wish you nothing but the best not only in the lead-up to what's to come but obviously what's to come afterwards, man?
[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna be such a great time. I'm so excited for you. All right. Thank you, man

[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, Mike. There you have it there Sam Phelan
[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought I was very impressed with Sam now coming into this
[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_02]: This was not what I was expecting
[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I feel like that after our conversation yesterday talking about from the John Lovett episode
[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I was expecting like a little bit more of like a meathead bro, e
[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_02]: frat guy
[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_01]: As opposed to the person I just heard from and that is sort of the intention that Sam is expressing right that he is a
[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_01]: multifaceted person that yes
[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_01]: He died kind of does have this bro. We vibe to him
[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know if it's necessarily just because of like he grew up playing athletics and he has an interest in them
[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Clearly and so maybe he just has that vibe to him
[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't ask for specific descriptions as to like who were some of the bigger guys in this season
[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_01]: But I would imagine that Sam is probably one of them
[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, he describes that he's someone that basically knows a little bit about everything
[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, he's a nerd inside of a jock body
[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And so as a result that's going to allow him once he starts talking to you know
[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Connect with people outside of those first impressions and I completely agree
[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Sam is very high on my winner pick list as well
[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll get into maybe a couple of red flags as to what is giving me legs exactly or challenge flags
[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe from quite literally red flag perspective. I can only use one of those but I do get it right
[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_02]: You'll get more
[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I do think there's a lot of pros in Sam's corner after due to I think his experience talking with pros
[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I really do think Rob not to always make it about how much your job prepares you for survivor
[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_01]: But the way he described it as well
[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I do feel like his beat reporting is gonna come across so well in talking with people sure and the professional
[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Ego-stroking that he referenced that's not all the stroking that happens in locker room. Okay, Mike
[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't even know what you're implying
[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, so I mentioned Devin Pinto deep Paul and that was interesting another guy who had some success
[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_02]: In the game interesting Michelle Fitzgerald who also just has like a very fun attitude
[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like that that's kind of her
[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Greatest strength in the game that people just want to be around her
[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And so if Sam can bring some of that, I think that that's really a good thing for him
[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Interesting about John Lovett and you know
[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that he flagged something that I actually brought up with you yesterday talking about John Lovett who again
[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_02]: We're used to John Lovett being a comedian being the person who's funny and I noted that he seems very serious
[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_02]: About this and this was something that Sam noted also that talking about John
[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_02]: He seems like he's very
[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_01]: serious about this and ageless apparently we don't know if John Lovett is 20 or 40 which I think is probably
[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_01]: From John's perspective one of the best compliments he's received right?
[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_02]: 20 maybe not such a great compliment
[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe that could be a final tribal council revelation of like I'm actually 20 years old or it could be the reverse
[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if the jury would rather vote for a 20 year old or a 40 year old
[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah
[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean this happens sometimes in the preseason that obviously you are given instructions that to like
[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Largely stay within your own bubble and don't really interact with anybody and some people follow those almost too much to a tee where
[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_01]: It comes across as like well, they're not giving me any time of day
[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know what's also interesting about John is that he was in such a bubble in terms of his survivor experience
[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Where he's not he has watched all of Survivor, but he made the very
[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_02]: careful
[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Attention to not I'm not going online and not reading and all these other players are said like so studied up on oh
[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_02]: First impressions ponderosa pregame. This is all important
[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Relationships where if he's not outwardly
[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Trying to foster these pregame relationships, maybe has not really heard anecdotally that that's a big deal
[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I wonder if he might be off to a slow start in the game
[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean remember even when I talked with him
[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_01]: It was certainly some stuff he thought of and he did eventually give me identity is but it seemed like something that to your
[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Point maybe was not top of mind for him as opposed to Rachel later on the interview knew like okay
[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I know you do these things not only did I experience this last year, but you do it every single time
[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So here's the laundry list of nicknames. Yeah that I have okay, but this is back to Sam
[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Interestingly once have Harvey Specter come in
[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I was gonna say it's Rob as someone who is I would say the biggest expert on suits that is in my recent circle
[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Of people is that a good loved one to bring out a Louis lit would be the all-time
[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Suits loved ones have come out. But yeah, Harvey would be good to give me a little pep talk
[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean listen Sam is one that is accustomed to pep talks at least experience them. I live life up here right now your game
[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It's down here
[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Exactly. So I think Sam has a really good head on his shoulders
[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean the way that he expressed the way he wanted to play
[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_01]: you know when I asked him what's his big takeaway from the past two seasons and he basically said like
[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Something similar to an effect of what John and a bunch of other people have been saying which is like people are making
[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Big moves just for the sake of big moves
[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_01]: But what I think he expressed really interestingly was this idea of loyalty that he was like
[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to stick with a group and present myself as
[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Sticking with that group until it gets to a certain point and then I make my move
[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean that is sort of the blueprint that we saw with a lot of these early new era winners, right?
[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_01]: That was the case with Erica with Mary Ann
[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Even with Gabler as well to a certain extent and that is sort of the optimal way to play in a normal
[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_01]: New era season and I think that's also gonna help with Sam because I do think again if Sam is being perceived in a way
[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_01]: From at least some of the contestants in the way that John is expressing
[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_01]: That is something that especially once the merge hits could present him as a target as well
[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Whether it be a threat and challenges well-spoken very good socially what have you?
[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_01]: But if he's able to endear himself to people and be like listen
[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I might be a big threat but like that makes me a meat shield for you
[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not gonna deviate from the plan. I'll vote with you. Don't you want a number to keep around?
[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that is something that could have him out staying his his average draft position when you're trying to figure out who does
[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Well in this season, okay
[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk about everybody more at the end. I could see him also getting along with Andy as well
[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think so too
[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean although if the music City miracle comes up to say and he's a Bills fan and of course Sam is a
[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Titans guy and hopefully just Titans week, too
[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And we'll see can Sam be able to mix and match allies much like the quarterback situation in Tennessee
[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_02]: We shall see what you're not a fan of the Mayo loving will Levis
[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just I listen, you know, I'm not gonna yuck anybody's young though
[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Emphasis on yuck in terms of what you choose to put into your coffee
[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Bryce would have some words about what will Levis puts in his coffee. It's not international delight
[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_02]: All right. So there you go. There's Sam Phelan
[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Looking forward to seeing what he's able to do
[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_02]: We've got one last person from the god of tribe to talk about we are going to get to Sierra
[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_02]: We love to have a nurse on Survivor and that is a survivor
[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_02]: 47s entry and so we'll talk about Sierra and round out the god of tribe when we come back right after this
[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, Mike, we've got another survivor Sierra unlike Sam. We've had some Sierras different spellings
[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And we've had some rights as well same spelling. All right, so we put it all together
[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe a new fan favorite
[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Again danger perhaps perhaps but first she's got to enter this game. So we are talking about Sierra, right? Hello
[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Registered nurse that's what she does. She is 26 years old from Phoenixville, Pennsylvania
[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And yes, even though she is a nurse Rob much like a young Debbie Wanner
[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_01]: She has found herself across multiple careers and multiple competitions as well besides Survivor. Okay
[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_02]: All right
[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_02]: So let's check in with your conversation with Sierra and come back and talk about it with you
[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_01]: All right to start things off. Let's make it nice and easy. Give me your name age and occupation
[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so my name is Sierra right and I'm 26 years old and I am a registered nurse
[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Fantastic how it was this like something you found your way into have you always wanted to be a nurse?
[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_00]: So nursing I mean, it's definitely something that came natural to me
[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I was always the one who would my family would call on if somebody got sick
[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I would be the one going and take care of them
[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_00]: But I just you know, I actually started off as a news reporter. That was my first career
[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I moved upstate New York the day after I graduated college
[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you know, I played that out for a little bit
[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean you don't make any money in that industry and I don't think anybody tells you it's not as glamorous as it looks
[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean I was lugging around, you know a big ass camera
[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like doing the wildest stuff and so it's not it's not a glamorous thing and you know for the pay
[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_00]: It was kind it was tough. It was hard to even afford my rent
[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like, okay, we got it. We got to make a switch. We got to change something up
[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_00]: So then you know, I come from a family of nurses. My mom's a nurse. My cousins are nurses
[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_00]: So then I went back to school and took the chance. I did an accelerated nursing program
[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_00]: 17 months pretty brutal
[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_00]: 17 months, but we did it and uh now yeah, I love I love being a nurse so
[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, let's talk about another career transition you're making from broadcast journalist to nurse to survivor player
[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Give me your history with watching the show and what made you decide that this was something you wanted to participate in
[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, so a survivor I mean one I think I was just like born for this game
[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_00]: There's like no other way to put it. I'm like my physical abilities my social abilities
[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like we're gonna we're gonna thrive out here
[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but you know, it's like it's something that my family it brought us together like growing up
[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, we watched since I was like four years old
[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know kind of fell out of it when I got to college didn't have cable but got back into it at covet
[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_00]: um, so
[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_00]: This is where we're at now and I just
[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Shot my shot and uh sent in a video
[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_00]: And then they got back to me like three years later
[00:31:17] [SPEAKER_00]: So it was like a kind of like a waiting and i'm like, okay, I guess I guess i'm not cut out
[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Um kept sending a video in and then finally I heard back. I got a call literally the first week
[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I started my nursing job. So i'm like
[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Shit, I can't do this and um, but then my you know
[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_00]: My job was great and flexible and they were like go for it. Um, I work for a private practice
[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know I had to speak with the doctor and i'm like listen if i'm gonna keep moving forward
[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_00]: This is like a I could have had a baby at this point how long this process has been
[00:31:48] [SPEAKER_00]: So i'm like it's pretty intense. I'm not gonna keep going if you tell me
[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not gonna have a job when I come home
[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_00]: And then it worked out and then we're here in freaking fiji. This is crazy and the background
[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I can't get over it. I'm telling you it's like animated
[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean get used to it. You're gonna be waking up to this hopefully for the next 26 days, right?
[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Now when we're watching the sunset it was a pretty wild moment like watching everybody lined up and we're all just sitting there watching
[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_00]: You know the sun go down and i'm like, whoa, I have chills like this is wild
[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_00]: This is like what you dream of and then now it's here and now it's a reality
[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, i'm excited to make my family proud
[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Well pull from your knowledge of survivor for me. Give me one winner and one non-winner who you identify with the most
[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_00]: So I would say jt
[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I you know strangely enough. I just love that. He truly played the game with his heart
[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, he was well liked by the tribe
[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, he was very underestimated because he was a little gullible and um, you know
[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I I definitely can be gullible. Um, it's kind of my middle name here. Um, but
[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't realize that it was like a formal legal name of yours
[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_01]: What is it just like a facet of who you are does that make you nervous for the game where it's all about lying?
[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_00]: No, not at all i'm not nervous at all about that because i'm like, you know what let them doubt me
[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, let them underestimate me and think oh she's just a stupid smiley blind like whatever
[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_00]: But I have like a very strong intuition
[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I it typically doesn't lead me wrong. Um, and you know, I am a lot more intelligent than apparently I come across
[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is okay though. I'll let them underestimate me and i'm good with that. Um
[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah going back to the non-winner
[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Non-winner
[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, let's see
[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what i'm gonna go with um
[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Geez, okay steph lagrosa. I would say I have to just go with I love the delco girl
[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, i'm from outside of well i'm from delaware
[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_00]: But um, you know, I worked in philadelphia. I'm only 30 minutes outside of the city. Um
[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_00]: So i'm like I gotta support her and she's tough. She's resilient
[00:33:52] [SPEAKER_00]: You know
[00:33:52] [SPEAKER_00]: She was a huge inspiration to so many like girls around the world just showing like
[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, whatever you put your mind to if you do it keep on, you know again with perseverance and some uh,
[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_00]: You know toughness you can do it. Um, and she crushed it especially season 10 like she dominated
[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, so that's that's what I hope to do
[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_01]: It really seems like you have done so much at only 26 years
[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_01]: You talk about obviously being a broadcast journalist being a nurse
[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I know you wrote in your bio here that you won miss delaware usa and competed in miss usa
[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_01]: You made it to the final round of american idols
[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_01]: So if you could boil it down to one life experience you feel has most prepared you for this game amongst all the ones you've had
[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_01]: What would that be?
[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I would say actually one that I don't have on there is that um, i've been in the service industry for over 12 years now
[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, so, you know being a server and dealing with such a wide population like you really had to learn how to effectively communicate
[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_00]: With like so many different groups and I think that's key for being out here on survivor
[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, also there's so many changes and like things that happen in that industry that you have to adapt
[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know if you have a shitty customer or somebody who's not, you know being the nicest person
[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_00]: You have to deal with it and you know throw in that smile
[00:35:09] [SPEAKER_00]: If you want to make money, you got to keep going. So otherwise you won't make it through the shift
[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_00]: So just really learning, you know, how do you adapt how to communicate well with others from all different spaces and groups and backgrounds?
[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, I think that's that's definitely what what set me up for it to be out here
[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you would you say is your biggest superpower and your biggest piece of kryptonite?
[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Does it speak to you as you just mentioned that adaptability and niceties that comes with being in service for so long?
[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Biggest superpower. Let's see. Well like what I think um
[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Darn, that's a good question
[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Biggest superpower hold on. I I should have this in my back pocket. This is a good one
[00:35:53] Um
[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Darn you you stumped me here. That's kind of hard to do
[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's think freaking superpower. Come on sierra. I know there's some in there. Um
[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't I really do think it's just gonna end up being like my my strong intuition
[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I really I don't know. I know that that's not like a stereotypical
[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Superpower, but I just think I can literally read through people. Maybe that's it
[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I can look at somebody and like already i've been like writing down all these non-verbal cues and i'm like
[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_00]: I could probably tell you somebody's story based off of what i've learned. So i'm very like analytical
[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_00]: And just pick up on a lot of things like when i'm at home
[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll say like mom did you see that and she was like, how the hell did you see that?
[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Out of everything that person brought to the table. That's what you noticed
[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_00]: So I feel like I just can pick up on things that a lot of people can't kryptonite man. I don't know. Um
[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know
[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_00]: What let's think
[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean you mentioned that gullibility before
[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what? Yes, definitely being a little gullible. Um, but you know, but i'm smart gullible
[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Like it's like I feel like I come across as gullible like where i'm like, oh like can look look a little airhead
[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll be honest. Um, but i'm always sharp. Like i'm always like I know what you're talking about
[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_00]: What are you guys saying? I got my eyes on people just like I said, you know
[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I have a really good read and i'm like, I I know when something's going wrong or something's headed in a certain direction
[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_00]: um
[00:37:22] but
[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. Yeah, I don't know why this one's uh, tricking me. Well, i'll move on to something a bit easier because as you mentioned
[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_01]: As you mentioned though, you have been you know compiling your thoughts on these other people
[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Open up the book for me a little bit here
[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Who are some people that you're getting good vibe from that you're like best case scenario?
[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_01]: We hit the beach on day one. This is a possible ride or die
[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_00]: All right. So there's this woman here. She has like long blonde hair
[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_00]: She seems like she's a little older, but she's like she's like a milf like she's a hot mom
[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_00]: You can tell she looks like she's like a surfer like yoga instructor
[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, she just like she just is like smiling, you know
[00:38:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Just like just making all these like and she just looks like a free spirit
[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, and I just think she looks like a badass and I think we could definitely dominate together
[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_00]: um
[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I see a kid. He's like a taller kid. Um looks a little strong a little strong
[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Let me not say that see a taller kid and he looks strong and just like athletic and i'm like, you know what?
[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's crush it. Let's kill the challenges. Um together if you know, we're working together
[00:38:25] um
[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Who else? Um, what is a lot of smiles out here? Like there's a few only a few where you're like, oh
[00:38:32] [SPEAKER_00]: All right. I'll go in the next direction. Um, but most
[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's name names then or I guess you don't know their names but like tell me about who those people are
[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, well, you know what's so funny
[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_00]: So i've created like all of these little like I have on my notebook like a list of like, okay
[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like there's a mini austin out here like from season 45. He looks literally like austin, but a little shorter
[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, i'm like there's a mini sabaya here
[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_00]: When I say I mean like almost like a little replica
[00:39:02] um
[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Who else? Yeah, I don't know. It's it's definitely been interesting. There's a really tall guy
[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_00]: He looks like he could literally be in the nfl and you can just tell like he's a goofball
[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And i'm like, I think like we would definitely get along too and just like kick it and just be funny and just like
[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Shoot the shit together. Um
[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I it's funny I hold my notebook
[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like this person has a tattoo down their leg and then like what i've noticed about them
[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_00]: This person's painting out here. This person's reading this person
[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I noticed was awake at three in the morning when I went to the bathroom
[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's like you're you pick up on these little cues where you're like, huh?
[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, we know who the early risers are. We knew who's a little like more difficult to get up out of bed
[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, so it's little things like that. You're definitely picking up on
[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_01]: You mentioned, you know, uh another austin another sabaya
[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_01]: What is your biggest takeaway from the past two seasons from survivor 45 and 46?
[00:39:52] [SPEAKER_01]: That you specifically plan to integrate into your game in 47. Yeah
[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I I definitely want I I noticed that the past two seasons i'm like I really feel like I can relate with them
[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, there's been like, you know all different wide variety of casting but like the past two seasons
[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, yeah, I I could see me working with them and like a ton of them
[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, which kind of like I didn't really have that for some of the past seasons
[00:40:16] [SPEAKER_00]: So I think that was like really cool to see and this you know, I can already tell this upcoming season
[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Like yeah you you you i'm like shoot everybody's smiling everybody looks pleasant
[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_00]: But i'm like i'll be on to you as soon as we'll see but um
[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know. I think just really like d to me is like an inspiration since season 45
[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I freaking love her. I called it for my first like one of my first casting interviews
[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like that girl d like come on caitlin that that's a girl to watch like I really think she's going to take it
[00:40:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Because she's just great like because she's athletic she crushed it in the challenges
[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_00]: She came ready
[00:40:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, which you know, i've been preparing the last year. I'm like i've been like in this whole process for since august
[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_00]: So i'm like been at the gym 5 a.m. Every day came strong
[00:41:03] [SPEAKER_00]: um
[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_00]: You know ready for that but then also just being like a likable person and being myself
[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's the coolest thing about survivor and this whole process is like you don't need to be afraid to like
[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Curse and you know, that's not something i'm proud of but a curse word might slip here and there
[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_00]: But just being able to be your real self and just like let go and be like
[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Take it or leave it. Um, and that's exactly what d did too
[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So I think just socially and like being like having good tribe morale is what I noticed is like what's you know
[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Leading people in the right direction
[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_01]: What would you say is your most controversial survivor opinion your hottest take about a player a season the show, etc
[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I actually I just said this because I really want the live tribal back
[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like I like when you go home and like you can have that moment with your loved ones. Give them a big hug
[00:41:51] [SPEAKER_00]: um, you know
[00:41:52] [SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like that is a lot of people are like what no the emotions are so high and fresh when you're out
[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Here on the island which I get to but i'm like a little selfishly
[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like I would love to like hug my family when I get crowned 47 winner and just be like, you know
[00:42:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Have them there. Um, so I feel like that's something that I typically say and people are like what no, um
[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, I would say that maybe is my little hot take right now
[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Well on that note, I want to talk about love in a different way
[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_01]: If you could bring a celebrity or a fictional character out for a loved one's visit
[00:42:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Who would you pick and why here we go again get me stumped with this. Who's my who's my go-to
[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just i'm here. So i'm the softballs compared to the probes master general. You're about to get
[00:42:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And I thought I was ready i'm like I came prepared and i'm like shit
[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe I didn't um, who's my you know
[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Who would be like if I could because I love carrie underwood because I'm you know, I was a singer growing up
[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, and I still love to sing and she's like my inspiration as a singer and she's so freaking strong and fit
[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_00]: And motivating so I feel like having that sort of energy come out like especially when you're feeling your lowest
[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I'd call on her and be like come on girl pick me up
[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Give me some little arm workouts. Give me something to do and she's just you know
[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Has such a great heart and uplifting spirit
[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I would say she's definitely my my go-to celebrity
[00:43:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and then you're telling her like oh, I haven't made any big moves and she's like sierra take the wheel
[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, jesus take the wheel. I know and I swear i'm a better singer than that
[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I know exactly. Yes, that's exactly what she would say
[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_00]: She'd be like get your shit together get out there and make some moves
[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, i'm happy we went for a drive here
[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_01]: You have been such a delight to talk to and again
[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_01]: You have done so much with your life that i'm so excited to see what the next stage
[00:43:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Will look like in the form of survivor. It is going to be such a fun time
[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_01]: You have such a great energy and I cannot wait to see what you bring to that beach
[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_01]: All right, i'm so excited. Thank you so much
[00:43:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Of course
[00:43:52] [SPEAKER_01]: It was so nice getting to meet you best of luck with all the other
[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_01]: You know pieces of anticipation building up to onto this and then can't wait to see what happens once your feet at the sand
[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Thanks so much. I'll talk to you soon. I will be talking. All right, mike. There you have it there sierra
[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Mike why does she want to talk to you soon? That's bad sierra. You don't want to talk to mike soon
[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's what I keep saying as well
[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I say like listen we're gonna have a conversation way way down the line
[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I love getting the chance to talk right now
[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_01]: But for all of our sakes let's put it in the google calendar for the end of 2024 and mike i'll talk to you
[00:44:20] [SPEAKER_02]: As far away as humanly possible and listen, I won't take offense to it
[00:44:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Of all people talk to you again for a while
[00:44:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I am the person that will say thank you sir
[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_01]: May I have another if you say I don't want to talk to you again for another eight months
[00:44:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, all right. But sierra is an interesting one and I think that sierra has like a good profile for
[00:44:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Survivor, I think that she has uh, of course, uh the nurse background a long history of nurses
[00:44:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh being able to hold their own on survivor, but she also seems like she's got like this sporty side to her
[00:44:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she keeps talking about her athleticism her physical prowess. We didn't necessarily get into it
[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_01]: She does bring it up in her bio as well. Uh, so it just seems like maybe
[00:45:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Competition is something that she's very much into she actually writes in her bio
[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Competitive is the number one here writes. Yeah, exactly competitive is the number one adjective that describes me
[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I make a competition out of almost anything including who can roll the trash to the end of the driveway faster
[00:45:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't tell john keir hoffrey. He just came up with an idea for the next challenge. Yes. Okay
[00:45:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, you know another sierra tried to roll, uh
[00:45:27] [SPEAKER_02]: The trash yeah trash can roller versus a barrel roller. Yes. Okay, so
[00:45:32] [SPEAKER_01]: mike
[00:45:34] [SPEAKER_01]: She was on american idol
[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_01]: So I look this up. I'm pretty sure so what she writes in her bio is that she like
[00:45:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Just made it I think before quote the big stage and I don't know if that necessarily
[00:45:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Means like she made the televised went to hollywood
[00:45:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I think maybe she went to hollywood but listen there are so many faces out there
[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_01]: But look, she is one that certainly knows how to make her way through these cattle calls and emerge
[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_01]: As you know the the number one person to pick considering that also
[00:46:05] [SPEAKER_01]: She was a successful on miss teen delaware and actually competed in miss teen usa a couple times
[00:46:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. All right
[00:46:12] [SPEAKER_02]: So we love to see our pageant people a very competitive world come through on reality tv
[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Usually a good practice for these shows
[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Chewing to win miss survivor 2024 rob will say well, so let's see. We should bring it back. Uh, she wants
[00:46:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Carrie underwood to be her loved one
[00:46:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It would be uh the first time that an underwood shows up out of nowhere that people celebrate
[00:46:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, exactly. She is able to turn that around though
[00:46:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I think uh, maybe chris underwood has improved the reputation a bit but
[00:46:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe carrie and chris are related. We never I never asked him if that was the case interesting
[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe uh claim to fame he'll show up coming in off the edge of extinction for the final
[00:46:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that could that could be something listen
[00:46:56] [SPEAKER_01]: The theme is not on trial but your relatives are chris underwood and we're gonna vote for you to get a million dollars
[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, um, she wants to be like a stef legrosa. I could see that makes sense
[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, she had some
[00:47:11] [SPEAKER_02]: good vibes from people
[00:47:14] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a certain there's her words not mine a milf
[00:47:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes
[00:47:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, there is a milf there
[00:47:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Listen we'll talk about sue, uh in a couple days from now
[00:47:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Who knows maybe I should take out the wishlist question rob of like if we don't see them on survivor
[00:47:33] [SPEAKER_01]: What show do you want to see them on next for sue smeg?
[00:47:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. All right. Um, she talked about who's the taller kid she had good vibes with i'm not entirely sure
[00:47:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I you know
[00:47:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I did not necessarily have them stand up in like police officer style have them stand up against a height determiner
[00:47:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I would imagine that sam seems like a tall person
[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I would imagine tk because we'll talk about tk has comes from a background where he was on his way to playing football
[00:47:56] [SPEAKER_01]: But then she also talked about an nfl goof
[00:48:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the nfl goof may have been tk as well. So it might be sam. We know it's not john love it
[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_02]: That's for sure. We know it's not john love it. We know it's not andy because andy I believe was her mini austin
[00:48:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that mini sabaya
[00:48:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Asia
[00:48:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Asia's mini sabaya i'm pretty sure Asia's the only i'm pretty sure Asia's the only black woman who's on this season
[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, okay. I don't know. I don't know about that one. Um, all right
[00:48:26] [SPEAKER_02]: But she's been in the gym 5 a.m
[00:48:28] [SPEAKER_02]: These survivor contestants they could do so much prep like uh, it's amazing
[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It's amazing how much they do
[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean rob if you were ever able to get the call out to 50
[00:48:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you gonna hit the gym at 5 a.m? Or are you just saying like oh, you know what?
[00:48:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I can roll trash cans to the curb 5 a.m. Is early
[00:48:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, listen, there's a 5 a.m
[00:48:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And a 5 p.m
[00:48:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And I know which one you'd be leaning towards how am I waking up at 5 a.m
[00:48:50] [SPEAKER_01]: When big brother is on until 11 o'clock at night
[00:48:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's what these people are entertaining themselves on the feeds by exercising you should exercise when they exercise
[00:48:59] [SPEAKER_01]: You know you sleep when they sleep. That's the schedule you should go by sure sure. Okay
[00:49:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Anything else on sierra mike? Yeah, i'm really not sure
[00:49:08] [SPEAKER_01]: How I feel about sierra's chances like I think on paper. I mean listen I have been
[00:49:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Crowing this out since the new era began and we started doing these things
[00:49:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I think service experience is one of the best things to bring into the game
[00:49:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Just the idea on paper of like having to encounter people from all different walks of life from all different backgrounds from all different
[00:49:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Dispositions and be able to either assuage them or you know, uh get on their side
[00:49:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Be a little empathetic understand where they're coming from it applies so much to the minute by minute elements of survivor
[00:49:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And i'm glad that sierra expressed that as well even outside of nursing like apparently she has 12 years of serving experience
[00:49:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And now she may completely surprise me. So i'm happy wrong here
[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't see necessarily sierra as somebody that will
[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Much like the the person to uh, one of the people to be part of her namesake like come in and make the big move
[00:50:02] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I don't really see sierra
[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Saying okay. I need to take the game by the horns at this point sierra
[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_01]: If you will I have to
[00:50:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Take out this person or blindside this person with an idol
[00:50:15] [SPEAKER_01]: It does seem like and maybe just I got I got hung up on the smart gullible way of describing her
[00:50:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I could more so see sierra as someone that will you know, go along to get along with an alliance
[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_02]: See now I see sierra a little bit more as a different sierra namesake that we haven't brought up
[00:50:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, but the one who like hey, come on. Let's make some big moves people. Let's go
[00:50:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, like I wonder like, uh, could she be a little coming a little too hot. Oh, that's interesting
[00:50:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean she does say that d was an inspiration to her and sometimes you know
[00:50:49] [SPEAKER_01]: You take the lessons from d's end game of like she was making these big moves bringing in these these tight number one
[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Allies and then cutting them etc, etc
[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_01]: When you should more so take the moves from d's first part of the game which just involved her not going to tribal
[00:51:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Council that often but also involved her really laying root with some of those bonds
[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And yet to your point if she does go a little too sierra easton early on we saw what happened in game changers as a very
[00:51:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Key example like again people are looking for any reason to get rid of somebody early if sierra does immediately start, uh, you know
[00:51:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Start putting in the you know, put it in the needle trying to let some blood out of this tribe
[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_01]: It could be her who ends up flatlining at the end of the day
[00:51:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that is that a medical procedure mike? Uh, I think it's a
[00:51:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Very obscenely clear that I have no idea what i'm talking about here
[00:51:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Seems a little middle ages, but uh, okay
[00:51:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Bring in the leeches. That's what I say. All right, uh a good bloodletting is what we need here. All right, so
[00:51:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Mike I am having a hard time really trying to see how this tribe comes together
[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah
[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_01]: So I think I mean I think we can talk about some groupings that we can see and then maybe try to work our way
[00:52:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Backwards. I mean I could see
[00:52:04] [SPEAKER_01]: You know I we did this a little bit with lava of like who do I feel are my quote unquote untouchables
[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Who do I think stand the best chance of making the merge? I would put andy on there
[00:52:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I would probably say that like if I had a thought of a controlling majority on this tribe
[00:52:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I think anika and rachel will immediately seek each other out because they already have in the preseason
[00:52:25] [SPEAKER_01]: And then they bring in someone like andy as a third
[00:52:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And then it just becomes a matter of who do those three want to work with because I would imagine
[00:52:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Unless things completely change once gotha hits the beach that john is going to go for sam
[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Initially and then sam subsequently is going to go for john
[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I get it that uh, we heard sam talk about john. Did john say something about sam
[00:52:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean john was talking about how again he
[00:52:55] [SPEAKER_01]: And again, this is he even admitted was perhaps broad brushing with these people that he says dear
[00:53:00] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a couple guys who have a kind of like quiet confidence that I find threatening and yes that is a
[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Too vague of a term. I agree john it seems it's you know, he's such a smart guy
[00:53:09] [SPEAKER_02]: He's a strategist does does he sort of?
[00:53:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Look at maybe some of these guys as being like hey
[00:53:17] [SPEAKER_02]: What's best for me to get to where I need to go?
[00:53:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe I need to keep the tribe strong like do I want to go two three tribal councils before the merge?
[00:53:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Then the question is like i'm sure sam would be reciprocating that feeling
[00:53:33] [SPEAKER_01]: But is he gonna have the idea in his head of like oh now
[00:53:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I know this guy is a thinker now
[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I know this guy has already plotted ways to go to the end with me and shirk me off at uh the
[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Thinking about the strokes rob about the uh at the final five final four
[00:53:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I need to make a move right here right now
[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_01]: So i've said it before that I think there is a chance that these two could work together
[00:53:59] [SPEAKER_01]: But I could also see a big possibility where like
[00:54:02] [SPEAKER_01]: John is someone that ends up in the line of fire early on if this tribe goes to tribal council within like the first two
[00:54:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Episodes. Yeah, I just do wonder like could we potentially see it go and flip the other way where it could potentially be
[00:54:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh like a rachel, uh who ends up being a first boot
[00:54:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the thing about anakin rachel is that and we talked about this yesterday as well
[00:54:24] [SPEAKER_01]: It seems like the two of them are very like-minded
[00:54:27] [SPEAKER_01]: They're both you know women who come from white collar backgrounds and both of whom say that like
[00:54:32] [SPEAKER_01]: They are used to being in control and making decisions from a leadership perspective
[00:54:36] [SPEAKER_01]: So there could be a situation where they fall in with each other immediately and then realize like okay
[00:54:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Who wants to lead the dance here? And there could be some possible infighting there that then leads to them
[00:54:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Targeting each other. I agree. There's a lot up in the air here
[00:54:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I do feel like andy is probably the safest
[00:54:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I think sam is the safest as well, especially if we're writing off maybe this pet theory that john would want to go after him
[00:55:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I it's it's certainly possible
[00:55:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I I just don't know like uh, if if john didn't say it
[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I just don't want to put that on him if uh, he is it did not
[00:55:12] [SPEAKER_02]: You know mention him explicitly. I think sierra is
[00:55:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, unless to your earlier point if she
[00:55:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Immediately gets struck down with a case of big move
[00:55:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Itis and has to get rushed off to the the er in a manner of speaking and then uh, who knows?
[00:55:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe quichon could take care of her. Uh, I I think that she is in an okay spot
[00:55:32] [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, it's tougher than it was for lava for me to narrow down who might be an early first boot from this
[00:55:38] [SPEAKER_02]: This is a strong cast. Uh, we have not really had our wackadoodles yet
[00:55:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe they're on our other tribe that we do apparently hear that wackadoodles win sometimes
[00:55:47] [SPEAKER_02]: That's said but it has not really been uh, the case so much. Okay. All right mike
[00:55:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Tomorrow
[00:55:53] [SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna start one last tribe. Tell us what's this third tribe and who are we talking about?
[00:55:59] [SPEAKER_01]: All right
[00:55:59] [SPEAKER_01]: So we are ending on a blue no
[00:56:02] [SPEAKER_01]: But we will not be sad because we're talking about our third tribe the blue tribe tuku
[00:56:06] [SPEAKER_01]: and we will be starting with caroline and
[00:56:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Gabe and uh, gabe is someone else who comes from this media background
[00:56:15] [SPEAKER_01]: He actually before going to survivor just left a job where he hosted his own talk show talking about the baltimore raven
[00:56:21] [SPEAKER_01]: So lots of a afc bad blood going on in this season rob. Wow
[00:56:26] [SPEAKER_02]: So a ravens talk show host. Yeah, we'll get into it more tomorrow. Okay. All right. Well, uh
[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Wild stuff. Okay. All right. So this is perfect for uh, hey this
[00:56:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Check out wednesday night on cbs, uh, they you know these uh football promos are right themselves. Yeah, exactly
[00:56:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So maybe that was also part of it. They're like listen and if those titans, uh, that's that's a afc showdown back in the day
[00:56:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I think that uh, and there might be an old school afc reference going on in gabe's interview
[00:57:00] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll tease more of that for tomorrow. Okay. All right
