Unlocked Listener Treemail-Bag – December 2025

Unlocked Listener Treemail-Bag – December 2025 Dive into Survivor strategy, reality TV crossovers, and rapid-fire pop culture takes as Rob Cesternino welcomes Brandon Donlon for the December Listener Tree Mailbag. As 2025 comes to a close, Rob and Brandon answer burning Survivor questions, swap holiday stories, and break down what’s coming in season 50. Rob and Brandon kick things off by comparing themselves to Santa’s helpers as they sift through listener submissions. The conversation quickly moves into personal territory, including struggles with gift giving, Rob’s favorite holiday memories, and what it’s like raising kids in a digital age. They swap stories about New Year’s parties and the “sleep schedules” of parents versus teens. On the Survivor front, Rob unpacks the decision-making behind bringing back returning players for season 50 and debates whether legends from earlier seasons still have a chance to return. Brandon wonders if Survivor’s old guard “missed the boat,” while Rob analyzes the season 50 preview, including those much-discussed celebrity advantages. You’ll hear discussions on: Survivor’s 50th season casting patterns and returnee possibilities past season 40 How new “celebrity advantages” might show up and what impact they’ll really have The return of recent contestants (like Rizo and Savannah) and the odds for players doing seasons back-to-back Lighter moments, like finding the “hobnobbing with the glitterati” catchphrase origins, holiday food talk, and why Rob shifted from Costco to Sam’s Club Rob’s favorite interviews (including an epic Dr. Will Kirby negotiation) and what it’s like navigating podcasting while considering a Survivor return As Rob and Brandon trade insights, a big question looms: Will Survivor 50 live up to fan hype, and how will these twists shape the game?

Loved the Jag and Jess post win interview

They were extremely kind to these awesome guys about some of the terrible experiences they faced during their race. They also gave them the much deserved props and respect they deserve. Jess is awesome too I love hearing her opinions and takes. I know they are very fondly and fans of Paige and Izzy and yet they were very open to hearing the guys’ side
A fun chat!

Been listening forever and just have to say, the episode talking with Kathy O’Brien was delightful. It was lovely to hear Rob and Kathy catch up and the banter was fun!
Used to be great

I truly miss Rob’s old style. Had a little bit more of a freeform energy and less coming off like a souless shill. I also liked I like a lot of the old guests He’s either stopped having on which is OK… But he’s actually scrubbed all the archives of their episodes. It’s a bummer. But he’s deadly afraid of being canceled so gotta walk the line right… for some reason, it looks like I gave a five star review but I’ve over and over made sure this is a one star review, but I guess being a corporate shill pays off
Book talk overload

Love the Know it alls, but I think I’ve heard more than enough promos for Steven’s book.
