    BB28 Premiere Recap | Gunk Cannons

    Oh my god, we're back again. That's right, Big Brother 28 is HERE, and your favorite show has risen from the dead to talk all about the season premiere (and episode 2). Reality TV favorites Dee Valladares, Rick Devens, and Angela Murray join our new cast of houseguests as we introduce each one and gather first impressions. What's up with these clones of the BB27 cast? Who already has us swooning, and why is his job so much cooler than everyone else? Is that really ALL you have, Ashley? We also dissect the Rachel Reilly misdirect, Dee's command of the game as HOH, and the newly founded "Red Corner" & "Crossovers" alliances. PLUS: The earliest showmance in history, and a promise to our dear listeners. We missed you all so, so much. STRAP IN, FAM.  Watch full video episodes and shorts on Youtube Follow us on Instagram for reels and listener polls

    Survivor 50 Ep 12 Recap | Teeter My Tunnel

    Uploading this 45 minutes before the finale starts so there's proof that we're Survivor experts if any of these predictions actually play out. What's it like to be both healthy and a podcaster? How about watching your favorite player actually make it to the end? We dunno. Our beloved chaotic newsman goes out with a whimper, while Cirie puts her trust in the wrong people. Tiffany pulls off a 1v4 win, and Aubry takes her eye off the prize at the worst moment. We also run final three scenarios, and debate if R-I-Z-G-O-D has what it takes to win over a jury of veteran players. If Jeff doesn't get on that chopper, we riot! See you on the other side, fam.  Watch full video episodes and shorts on Youtube Follow us on Instagram for reels and listener polls

    Survivor 50 Ep 11 Recap | I Saw It

    "Everyone Will Be Shooketh" This one gets a little shock-jock as we reveal the biggest discovery in the history of the show - don't try and say you wouldn't too! We're shifting in our seats as we analyze Rick and Emily's secret game, question the legitimacy of this week's immunity challenge, and decide if we're truly seeing a Cirie Survivor 50 win. Ozzy gets sloppy (hayoo) while Aubry fights for her life, and advantages + idols get played at a double tribal. PLUS: What's the worst activity you have to attend as a parent?

    Survivor 50 Ep 10 Recap | Mr. Beast and Auction Feasts

    "A Side Dish of Chaos" Mr. Beast joins the historic Survivor 50...and it's the best episode we've seen in a LONG time. The Survivor Auction returns as we discuss what went down, what came back up, and the major improvements in Mr. Beast's show appearance vs Zac Brown's. Tribal turns into complete madness before Rick Devens takes his fate into his own hands, and Meg gets a little emotional about what GREAT Survivor TV can mean for lifelong fans. PLUS: A lot of dad talk, but nothing weird. It's not that kind of show.  Watch full video episodes and shorts on Youtube Follow us on Instagram for reels and listener polls

    Survivor 50 Ep 8+9 Recap | Fallon's Fumble

    "I Deserve All of This" I know, I know, it's the last time we miss one, I swear. We give a brief recap of Episode 8 including Tiff's bottled rage, Rick's fake idol shenanigans, and saying farewell to Mr. Honor and Integrity. I think Chrissy left too. Now it's time to get down to business as we figure out Devens' next move with all eyes on him. Survivor history is made as Jeff plays in his first ever challenge, and ANOTHER celebrity enters the chat. Christian breaks hearts as he falls hard, and Cirie positions herself at the top of the game. PLUS: Emily argues over rice, and we have a "live" Three Pillars segment. Thank you to everyone who was so kind and complimentary at the CDS beer release - y'all are the reason we haven't nuked this entire thing. Shoutout to our family in CDS, TMOS, HNSP, and IDM.  Watch full video episodes and shorts on Youtube Follow us on Instagram for reels and listener polls

    Survivor 50 Ep 7 Recap | The Toe Ring Poets Department

    "That's Not How I Play Survivor" There's no way but forward as we recover from the wrath of the fans and the Blood Moon twist that they definitely all voted for! As we continue recapping Survivor 50, we flex our creative writing chops to honor the most honorable honor in the history of honor. Cirie's Rizard of Ozz alliance flies under the radar, and The Four Honormen draw lines in the newly formed Manulevu tribe. PLUS: Rizo plays Coach like a fiddle, and Meg explains the difference between survival shows and SURVIVOR. We hope you all get a chance to hug your friends and smite your enemies this week!  Watch full video episodes and shorts on Youtube Follow us on Instagram for reels and listener polls

    Survivor 50 Ep 6 Recap | Death By Zoom, or Blood Moon?

    "The Blood Moon" Hit the music! We report on who's misbehaving at Survivor parties, as well as the problem behind all of the discourse surrounding Season 50's editing. "The Fans" vote for the Blood Moon twist that probably killed this season with hammers, and we learn about a pre-game alliance that's bound to bring consequences. We also see Rizo lock in with Cirie + Ozzy, and Matt thinks he's figured out what Jeff is actually trying to do with this historic season.

    Survivor 50 Ep 4 Recap | Chicken Fries In Paradise

    "Too Little, Too Late" Sorry we've been gone fam, we were dying again. Good thing there's plenty of strategy, deception, and S-tier gameplay to chew on from this episode. We address the addition of Zac Brown to CBS's Wednesday programming slate, and Matt's entire world is flipped upside down after a shocking revelation. Meg also sees the edit revealing who won this season, and The White Lotus gets cancelled in Fiji. PLUS: Ozzy may as well be in exile, and Liz Wilcox shares her thoughts on Survivor 50. We'll be caught up this week!  Watch full video episodes and shorts on Youtube Follow us on Instagram for reels and listener polls
