I even going on 135 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: Traders was a big move for me. But I always 136 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: wanted to work in entertainment. I liked creative writing, I 137 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 2: liked performing. I wasn't going to tell anybody that in 138 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: high school, middle school because that would be in my 139 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 2: eyes at the time, social suicide and I was like, 140 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 2: I want to have fun and and and you know, 141 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 2: go to parties and mingle with friends, and so I 142 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 2: wasn't gonna, you know, do musical theater during that time. 143 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: But the interesting thing is when MTV came around with 144 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: Laguna Beach, it was that moment where you're in, you know, 145 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: your second semester of high school.

So while in freshman, 150 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: if it was freshman year, I would have never done it. 151 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 2: But senior year it was time to move on, and 152 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 2: so I took the leap, knowing that all my guy 153 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,239 Speaker 2: friends are gonna be like, what are you doing, dude, 154 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 2: that's so lame.

You know, something like that appealed to me, 173 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: and that's why I transitioned right into hosting with MTV. 174 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: But I took some acting classes as well as well, 175 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 2: and I'd done a little bit of that in middle school, 176 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: and when I started to take it seriously, I just 177 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 2: kind of caught the bug and I was like, all right, 178 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: there's some things I want to do here. So thankfully, 179 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: it's it's been a good run so far. It's been 180 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: good to me. It's up and ups and downs, for sure. 181 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: You know. Early on, I had a lot given to 182 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: me because I was on Laguna Beach. You know that 183 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: was not deserved. You know, we were plucked from complete 184 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: obscurity and thrown on the show into MTV when MTV 185 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: was near its peak. And you know, I'm proud to 186 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: say that all these years later, it's you know, I've 187 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: been around the business and ridden all sorts of highs 188 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 2: and lows and grinded through it, you know. And to 189 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 2: sit here now and I have a second season of 190 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: an independent show that my partner James Lafey, and I 191 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 2: shot together and we got it on Hulu. To you know, 192 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: be able to even be relevant in a way where 193 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 2: someone would consider me to be on Traders, I think 194 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 2: is super special. I feel really grateful for that. And 195 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 2: Traders was the show I had to come back. And 196 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 2: do you know, there's been a lot of them that 197 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: have been offered over the years, and this one was 198 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 2: was the one. 199 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 3: Is there any other ones that you would do? Like 200 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 3: I was looking at Special Forces. I think you could 201 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 3: do it. You're a very fit and athletic and I'm 202 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 3: just like, but there are people that are fit in 203 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 3: athletic on it and. 204 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 4: They didn't not do well. And I mean. 205 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 3: There's just a few other shows. Is there any other 206 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 3: ones in your site? 207 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: You know, after after doing Traders, you would think that 208 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 2: I was I probably thought I signed up for special 209 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 2: Forces based on my just like mission aggressiveness, like okay, 210 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 2: here to tackle these missions. This is where I'm gonna 211 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 2: get into this game. But yeah, you know I always 212 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 2: said that look the the MTV kind of personal life 213 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: and sensationalizing it with everything that was again we were kids. 214 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: That was going on in my life at that time. 215 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 2: It really scared me away for for a long time. 216 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: And I probably you know, you psychologically could probably look 217 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 2: back and be like, all right, maybe there's some moves 218 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 2: here of why he's he's dipping in a scripted and 219 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: hiding behind some characters rather than continuing to be you 220 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 2: know yourself. And I you know, I just I wasn't 221 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 2: gonna do anything that was gonna be around my personal 222 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 2: life because I saw the way mt BE twisted it 223 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: and why there was plenty of truth that they had 224 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 2: their story based in truth, but the way that they 225 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 2: could twist it and uh that it just scarred me 226 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: for a while. So I think when the focus is 227 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 2: on something like a competition and not who you're who 228 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 2: you are personally necessarily, which is the other thing that 229 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: that drew me to the show. That's where I could 230 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: see myself, you know, doing another show. I'm a competitive person, 231 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 2: athletic and as you see, you know, trying to tackle 232 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 2: these missions. So if there's something it's like an amazing race, 233 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 2: you know, special Forces. Uh, that's definitely something I would 234 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 2: consider that. 235 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 3: I'm I want to do more. I love Traders so much. 236 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 3: I want to do Traders again. I'm hoping I miss it. 237 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 3: It's hard to watch because I miss it so much. 238 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I hope they run it back with with 239 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 2: a bunch of people or maybe there's yeah, there's I mean, 240 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: it's it's interesting going out there. You know, obviously the 241 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 2: build up to the first day and and and you 242 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: know you're kind of locked away for a few days. 243 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 2: You got everything taken away from me. You know, I'm 244 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 2: an active person, so I was getting a little stir crazy. 245 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, once the game got going and the momentum 246 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 2: picked up, It's not a lot of fun. 247 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 4: Being in that room, is right, it is. It is rough. 248 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 3: I'm just curious because you come from such a kind 249 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 3: of a different thing than the housewives. What did you 250 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 3: think when you met the housewives, what were they like 251 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 3: to They're a little crazy, They're they're wild, They're pretty intense, 252 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 3: and I know you're like so nice, so I'm curious 253 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 3: what you think of everyone. 254 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: Or fully intimidating? Are you kidding me? I was like, man, 255 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 2: I'm out of my league here. These these are reality 256 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 2: TV vets, these are big personalities. I'm just this kid 257 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 2: from Laguna Beach that was on a reality show twenty 258 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 2: years ago popping in here. And so I was, yeah, 259 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 2: I went in there very intimidated and also impressed. I 260 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 2: knew that there were gonna be some big personal I'm 261 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: not familiar with the housewives going in. I know a 262 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 2: little bit and my my wife coached me up. But 263 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 2: once I got in there and met them, I was like, damn, 264 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 2: Like they came to play and they play their roles 265 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 2: very very well. So I have I already had respect 266 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 2: for what they do. And I know, I mean that's 267 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 2: the other thing. It's like people when I was getting 268 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 2: started in reality people were looking down on it like crazy, right. 269 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 4: They did, especially trained actors. 270 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 3: They were like like, how are you getting more camera tiet? 271 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 3: Like how are you getting these you know, to be 272 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 3: on TV, then we're not. And I'm a trained actor. 273 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 3: I went to school for it. 274 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 4: I'm from here, I'm from there, and I've been doing 275 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 4: this all my life. But yeah, you're on TV. They 276 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 4: hated us for it. 277 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, I get. I mean it was like people would say, like, 278 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: this is the deathbed of the art, you know, and trying. 279 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 2: I remember that stepping into acting classes when I was, 280 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: you know, coming off of this reality show. It was 281 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: it was a bit of a leap back then. But 282 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 2: I to me, you know, yeah, look, at the end 283 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: of the day, even those jobs I've you know, I've 284 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 2: read about the schedules for the Housewives. It's it's it's crazy. 285 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: It's a full time job and and for anybody to 286 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 2: look down on it is ridiculous. So again I had 287 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 2: respect already going in, but then meeting them and just 288 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 2: seeing the way that they handle their roles and play there, 289 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 2: you know, played the version of themselves that they play 290 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: is impressive, and so I really enjoyed them and getting 291 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: to know that. I mean, look look at our our traders. 292 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 2: You know, you've got Lisa, You've got Candace. I mean, 293 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: what great personalities to put up in the turret and 294 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 2: and Candace is as she says, she's main character energy 295 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: and Lisa is just an icon. So and the jet 296 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 2: position between them and Rob right, it's just it's it's 297 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,599 Speaker 2: very well done. 298 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the show. You know, if I was 299 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: on this season, you would would be spiking my spidy 300 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: sense a little bit because you have been on reality 301 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: TV before. But then also you are an amazing actor 302 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: who can pretend to be something else. In my mind 303 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: out of like, you'd be perfect to be a trader. 304 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: Did you want to be a trader or did you 305 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: always want to be a faithful? 306 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, I there was. It was tough because 307 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 2: I wanted to be a faithful. I wanted to play 308 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: the game as a faithful. I did not want to 309 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 2: go and try to lie the whole time and have 310 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 2: to carry I guess the weight. I wasn't sure exactly 311 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 2: how I'd handle the weight of being a trader, as 312 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: I was already feeling again. I talked a little bit 313 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: about being intimidated stepping onto that set with all the 314 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 2: reality vets and not having done reality in a while. 315 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 2: So I really wanted to play the games of faithful. 316 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: And it's funny looking back, there was always a little bit. 317 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 2: I was like, you know what, being a trader would 318 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 2: be really fun. Definitely saw that side of it. But 319 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 2: I was like, you know what, I think I'm best 320 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: served being a faithful and I felt like that's how 321 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 2: I can make it the furthest So that's what I 322 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: went with. I did say early on, I was like, look, 323 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 2: I want to make this clear, like I can handle 324 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 2: being a trader. If someone's going to recruit me to 325 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 2: be a trader. 326 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, let me ask you this, what was your strategy 327 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: going into the show, because if you were like, Okay, 328 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to be a faithful. Was it to lay low, 329 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: was it to create alliances? Was it to be you know, boisterous. 330 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: What was your strategy coming in? 331 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, obviously, once you sign up to do 332 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: the show, you're trying to consume you know, past players 333 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 2: experiences and just learn as much about the game. You know. 334 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 2: I really kind of dove into it and was like, 335 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 2: all right, how can I make it as far as possible? 336 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 2: You know, I want to make it to the end. 337 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: I want to win. You know, I didn't. I didn't 338 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 2: go there to be a loud voice in the room, 339 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 2: to try to fight for camera time or anything that 340 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 2: I went there, you know, basically to challenge myself and 341 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 2: see see how I can handle the situation. And so 342 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 2: I wanted to go in and know that I can 343 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 2: excel in missions. So I felt like, if there's one 344 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 2: thing that the Traders and Faithfuls can agree on, obviously, 345 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: it's getting that price fund as high as possible. And 346 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 2: they're going to like the people that are good at 347 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 2: the missions. So to me, even though that's not necessarily 348 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: everyone's part of like a favorite part of the game, 349 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: I saw that as a spot where I can excel 350 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 2: and play to my strength. And so we're going to 351 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: speak up there be a loud voice outside which is 352 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: during the missions, so that it's memorable. And then the 353 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 2: Traders when they're thinking about who they need to act, 354 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: hopefully they're going to have that thought, well, he's really 355 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 2: good at handling the mission, so we should probably keep 356 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 2: him around, which did pay off, which I was so 357 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 2: happy to see. At the end of episode four, Rob's 358 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 2: putting my name up and then Lisa and Candics were like, 359 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 2: he's a mission guy, we should keep him around. 360 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 4: So and then I think you're too stop. 361 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 3: They wanted you there for a few reasons, I'd say, 362 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 3: and you were very nice. 363 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 2: But I also yeah, I also was not. I wanted 364 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 2: to sit back and and and just try to learn 365 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: who everybody was. I wanted to just have a moment 366 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 2: with everybody. Wasn't you know, gonna jump to any conclusions 367 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 2: on anybody and doing that it was going to be 368 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 2: more observing than trying to rally the troops. You know, 369 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 2: I was engaging in conversations with everybody. It's interesting, you know, 370 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: of course, how much is shot all your different conversations 371 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 2: and even moments that are you know that people I'm 372 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 2: sure would like to know happened that aren't in the show. 373 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 2: You know, it would be interesting to see like a 374 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 2: reel of some of the scenes. Right, It's like they 375 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 2: they they have all sorts of stuff. So I just 376 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 2: wanted to sit back and observe more people. I knew 377 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 2: that there was going to be a big personality, so 378 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: it's gonna let them do their thing. And you know what, 379 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 2: it seemed like early on in the game, everyone's looking 380 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 2: for just something to pin on somebody that's not themselves. 381 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 2: There is the all right, united, the faithful Front, right, 382 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 2: we're finding the traders, but there's also self preservation and 383 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 2: so in that, you know, sitting back and letting the 384 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 2: louder voices in the room kind of, you know, bury themselves. 385 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: In some cases, that was that was the part of 386 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 2: my strategy. 387 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about the loudest voice in the room 388 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: and them burying themselves in Michael rapampor you. 389 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 3: Know what, was the best looking, more of the smartest, 390 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 3: the dopest, faith dopest ever. So I spoke to Michael 391 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 3: before he left, because you know, you do, you call 392 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 3: someone and that had been there before and and I said, Mike, 393 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 3: just be quiet, like try you're very smart. 394 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 4: He's smart. 395 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 3: He clocked a few of the traders right out of 396 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 3: the box, right, and he couldn't. He just couldn't do it. 397 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 3: And he played himself, which is fine to do. I mean, 398 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 3: you did too, right, You went in there playing yourself 399 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 3: and uh. 400 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 4: It, I knew it. It was gonna hurt him. It 401 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 4: was good. 402 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 3: It's not, but that was good for you and it 403 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 3: was good for the game. And actually it was good TV. 404 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 4: We loved watching Michael unravel at the table. 405 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 2: Incredibly entertaining. And he's not at the table if he's 406 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 2: at the dinner table. Just the way he's eating his 407 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 2: food is fascinating to people, as you can see. 408 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: Okay, we got to talk about that talk. Is it 409 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: always like that? Is he always shoveling food down his gullet? 410 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 3: Oh? 411 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, he was. I mean I think it's in at 412 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 2: least two episodes. Oh I know, but yeah, it was 413 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 2: so funny. I remember a couple of times. You know, 414 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: you're in the breakfast room there, even if you're coming 415 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 2: back from a mission and you're gathering lunch, uh and 416 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 2: he's just, you know, shoveling stuff on a plate, and 417 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 2: he's just like he's talking to some of the camera guys. 418 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 2: He's like, all right, which one you which one? He 419 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 2: is gonna follow me and watch me eat. It's like 420 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 2: they didn't think going to film school, this is what 421 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 2: you're gonna be doing, you know, ten years later it's 422 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 2: filming some schmut from uhh, shove the food in his mouth. 423 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 2: So I think he knew what he was doing. And look, 424 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 2: I think he also that is what he does, right, 425 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 2: it's and I think he was he was happy to 426 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 2: show that, knowing that. 427 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 3: He's unapologetic about who he is and we love him 428 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 3: for it. So but did you think that when he 429 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 3: said that to Culton, that he was doing it in 430 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 3: a malicious way. 431 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 4: I didn't see it like that. 432 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 2: No, you know, it took me a second to to 433 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 2: truly pick up because there was there's so much going 434 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 2: back and forth, right, and I remember when he when 435 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 2: he said that, it felt like a low blow, but 436 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 2: I knew he didn't just come out of nowhere was 437 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 2: saying it, right. He obviously wanted to call him out 438 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: for keeping a secret, so he's you know, I think 439 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: he's he was able to say whatever he felt like 440 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: he wanted to say in that moment. I think he 441 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 2: knew that he was maybe pushing a button a little 442 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 2: bit with him as they were getting pretty heated. But yeah, look, 443 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 2: I think it got very very emotional in there, and 444 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 2: a lot of people were speaking back to Michael as 445 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 2: as he was just talking and talking and talking. And 446 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 2: that was the the tough thing about that round table. 447 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 2: I mean, he he we would try to you know, 448 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 2: there's a lot of heat on rawn. You know, we're 449 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 2: obviously Tippany had already left, but we were trying to 450 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 2: work through different people's you know, facts and pieces of evidence, 451 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 2: and then Michael would just kind of take it and 452 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 2: be like, you know what. I know we're all talking 453 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 2: about this, but we should be looking at this guy. 454 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a lot of. 455 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 2: Jam Jam and Michael. They had a lot of back 456 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 2: and forth as well. I feel like, look, Michael knows 457 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 2: what he's doing as your Sandy's a smart He's a 458 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 2: smart guy. 459 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 4: He's smart. 460 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 461 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 2: I kind of thought he was ready to get out 462 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 2: of the game, to be honest with you, because he 463 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 2: had such a he was being so loud and and 464 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 2: and and and taking over a lot of conversations and 465 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 2: being and being you know, Michael, even though when he 466 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 2: was talking about his wife was like, hey, just just 467 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 2: make sure you just try to stay quiet, you know this, 468 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 2: and he just he wasn't going to do that. He 469 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 2: was going to be true to himself and and I 470 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 2: think that's what he did. But I remember he talked about, 471 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 2: you know, Game seven of the NBA Championship was about 472 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 2: to go about to happen right right around that day, 473 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 2: and he's like, he's like, see, we're gonna we gotta 474 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 2: watch the game. How are we gonna watch the game? 475 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 2: And I felt like at that roundtable, the way he 476 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 2: just started just unloading and and and was not holding 477 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 2: anything back and was happy to push buttons with everybody. 478 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 2: He was already pushing everyone's buttons. Now he was like, 479 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 2: all right, I don't feel like I really like, I'm 480 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 2: gonna just take it to the next step. And he 481 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 2: did that, and I was like, all right, it's almost 482 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 2: like he wants out of this game at this point. 483 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 2: Maybe he wanted to go watch Game seven. 484 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 3: So I don't think anyone even thought he was a trader. 485 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 3: They just wanted him out. 486 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, yeah, I think that he was so 487 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 2: voisterous at a point where this he can't be a 488 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 2: trader because he would just be the worst trader. By 489 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 2: leaning so hard and being so loud, you're drawing so 490 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 2: much attention to yourself where you are in fact annoying people, 491 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 2: and people want you out for that reason alone. So yeah, 492 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 2: a lot of people, they weren't necessarily thinking he was 493 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 2: a trader. Yeah. 494 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: I mean, and you guys have the faithfuls at least 495 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: have taken a little bit of criticism of knowing that 496 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: someone's really not a trader and still voting them out 497 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: just because they were unpopular or annoying. I mean, it 498 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: happened in our season, Sandoval was doing the exact same thing. 499 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: He was very he was very loud, he was he 500 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: was trying to get glorious. He was also trying to 501 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: get Krishelle out a lot, and he was just kind 502 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: of distracting everybody. And so obviously traders love that because 503 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: that's distracting everyone away from what everyone's doing. You're keeping 504 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: the eye, your eye off the ball. But the truth 505 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: of the matter is is that you guys all voted 506 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: him out knowing that you weren't a step closer to 507 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: getting a trader. 508 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 2: Now frustrating part. I mean, I stuck with my vote 509 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 2: for Ron, you know, because we had the most evidence 510 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 2: on Ron, and and it's and it was going Ron's way. 511 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 2: It was just like the first round table. We should 512 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 2: have had a trader on the first round table. I 513 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 2: don't know if you guys know this, but we were 514 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 2: all the that the votes were swinging for Donna as 515 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 2: you saw in the second round table and went heavily 516 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 2: against her. Yeah, it should have gone that way the 517 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 2: first round table. But here comes Ron out of who 518 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 2: was pretty quiet, all of a sudden, he he he 519 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 2: speaks up, and he's he's got some hard facts and 520 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 2: to his credit, they're legit. I mean obviously, as we said, yeah, 521 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 2: seeing that play out and seeing what he saw, I 522 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 2: feel really bad for Ron, and I mean, he saw 523 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 2: evidence and he went with it. So it was tough 524 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 2: that he brought it up there at the roundtable and 525 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: not beforehand so we could talk about it because he 526 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 2: knew everyone was going and he's he was spending some 527 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 2: time against is kind of what hurt Donna. She started 528 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 2: to get a little more quiet in a corner a 529 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 2: bit and not overly engaging even if somebody engages you, 530 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 2: because it's one thing obviously to be sitting quiet in 531 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 2: a corner, but when you know, you start engaging a conversation. 532 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 2: And so Ron and her we're kind of hanging out. 533 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 2: So the fact that we all were on Donna and 534 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 2: then Ron was with her, it it put on Ron's back. 535 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, I think going into that one, we 536 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 2: we knew we had to kind of clear the table 537 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 2: of Ron and Michael was not going to let that happens. 538 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 2: Camera right back to Michael and be like, hey, guys, 539 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 2: I'm here, I may or may not want to go 540 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 2: watch Game seven, So yeah, let's go down. 541 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: But you know, you know, Ron. He I feel like, 542 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: changed a lot of minds in this most recent round table, 543 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 1: and he employed a really good tactic of being like, 544 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to go around and tell everyone what I 545 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: like about them, because this is gonna be the last 546 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: time I speak to them. And then all of a sudden, 547 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: everyone changed and was like, I don't think I don't 548 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: think he is a trader. In that moment, were you 549 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: still on Ron or were you believing that he was 550 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: actually faithful. 551 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was tough. It was one of those moments where, 552 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 2: if you know, having swung towards Portia in that first 553 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 2: round table really affected my strategy rest of the game 554 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 2: because and then also kind of towards Tiffany because I 555 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 2: was going to go for Ron, but then stuff with 556 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 2: Tiffany came up. I had a little something that happened 557 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 2: with her where I was like, okay, you know what, 558 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 2: she's giving me a little bit suspicion. So I moved 559 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 2: off of Ron and and now it's like, okay, poor show. 560 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 2: That was a fail, Tiffany fail. I was like, look, 561 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 2: just stick to your guns. Don't let other people sway you. 562 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 2: Stick with the evidence in your mind that you feel 563 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 2: like is the strongest and go from there. So I did, 564 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 2: and and and with Ron, there is that time after 565 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 2: you've written their name down and as you know, you know, 566 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 2: as they're going around and there they're speaking to everybody, 567 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 2: or even after you you give your explanation of why 568 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 2: you voted for them, that they look you in the 569 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 2: eye and they say something. And I felt like that's 570 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 2: when I would get a real honest read, so I did. 571 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 2: Before he got up there, I was like, oh no, 572 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 2: I think I think Ron very well. Is it faithful? 573 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 2: And there was suspicion before, but again at that point 574 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 2: he had the most heat and we had to clear 575 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: it to move on to the next thing because this 576 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,239 Speaker 2: we are doing so many favors for the traders far 577 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 2: in this game, they are kicking our ass right. There 578 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 2: were just the in fighting and and and I mean, 579 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 2: it's yeah, it's it's bad. So I was like, look, 580 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go. I'm going to clear this with Ron. 581 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 2: And and then as we as it was great his 582 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 2: exit going around and saying a little bit about everybody. 583 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 2: And then also I don't know if they the show 584 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 2: because I actually haven't seen it yet, but when he 585 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 2: when he stands up there and just his speech there 586 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,360 Speaker 2: was was amazing too. He thanked everybody and the crew 587 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 2: in the background and talked about the experience. He's he's 588 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 2: a sweetheart. Ron was was awesome and it was it 589 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 2: was tough to see him go, but he had to. 590 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, you guys keep talking in that roundtable of like, well, 591 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: we have to vote out Ron, so we can at 592 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: least close this chapter and get clarity. What was the 593 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: clarity that you were going to find out if Ron 594 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: ended up being faithful? 595 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 4: That's a good question. 596 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that the evidence Okay, just those that 597 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 2: were really pressing on Ron, those that were really gunning 598 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 2: for him, we could probably raise some suspicion on them 599 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 2: now that that voting record, And then you can also 600 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 2: look at the people that were not going to vote 601 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 2: for Ron, and we're saying, you, look, I don't I 602 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 2: know he's got all the there. There's there's a long 603 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 2: list of things that have happened at this point, but like, 604 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 2: I really do believe that he's a faithful So I 605 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 2: think those folks we can also deduce are probably faithful 606 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 2: because if you're a trader, you're most likely happy to 607 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: see Ron go and continue to to keep you know, 608 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 2: having to their faithful, you know, be asked, So, yeah, 609 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 2: I think it's it's that voting record ultimately, and that 610 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 2: does become a you know a big part of the show, 611 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 2: as you guys know. 612 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: Oh for for sure. 613 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 3: But you know it does weigh heavy on you when 614 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 3: you vote out of faithful, right as you're saying, like 615 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 3: with Porsche and Tiffany, it doesn't. 616 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: You don't only feel Michael though. 617 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 4: No, not Michael, I Saiffany. 618 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 3: But but you don't only feel bad. Especially Tiffany was heartbreaking. 619 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 3: But but then you kind of kind of like lose 620 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 3: a little confidence in yourself and what the other people 621 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 3: that actually really gunned for them. So is there any 622 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 3: point where like your emotions took over because mine did 623 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 3: many times in the game that where you said, like, 624 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 3: I'm done, I just want to go home. I don't 625 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 3: I don't want to hurt another person. I don't want 626 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,239 Speaker 3: to vote out another person. This is killing me. 627 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 2: You know. The Tiffany vote was emotional for me, and 628 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 2: I was surprised how quickly the game got emotional. Part 629 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 2: of that was just the way I had conversations with 630 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 2: her privately, also the way she was speaking at the 631 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 2: roundtable obviously very eloquent and her her personal story. You 632 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 2: know that that just pulls at the hard strings. And 633 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 2: so that was that was tough. I think what happens 634 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 2: is there's just kind of a competitive thing with me. 635 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 2: It was like, all right, we need to lock in, 636 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 2: like all right, what happened here? Like what was wrong? 637 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,719 Speaker 2: Where did we go wrong with tiffany? How can we 638 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 2: not do that the next time? Who had some some 639 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 2: good bits about maybe it's not her and why and 640 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 2: maybe we can lean on them a little bit and 641 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 2: see what they're thinking, because maybe they're seeing something that 642 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 2: we aren't as far as their instincts. 643 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 3: The Candice really, although she was a trader, really went 644 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 3: for her like tried to save her, right. 645 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know that would throw you off of 646 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. And that's the crazy part it is 647 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 2: with this game. It is absolute madness. It is such 648 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 2: a rollercoaster and as soon as you think you have 649 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 2: a thread of a solid strategy or play and maybe 650 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 2: you're thinking a couple of steps ahead, that could unravel 651 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 2: so fast and. 652 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 4: It's a monkey wrench. 653 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 2: It really is. And so you have to stay on 654 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 2: your toes constantly, constantly and I learned that, you know, 655 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 2: early on in the game through these roundtables, just like okay, 656 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 2: I here's my plan, and then just all there's just 657 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 2: there's so many different curve balls you have to be 658 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 2: ready to in real time to react to them. And yeah, 659 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 2: that's a very it's a very fascinating part of the game. 660 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 2: There's no single way of like, Okay, this is the 661 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 2: strategy that will win you the game, right, it doesn't 662 00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 2: matter what you do, you have to depending on the 663 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 2: personalities are there, depending on what happens day of day, 664 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 2: depending on what you say and who you say it to. 665 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 2: At certain times. You know, you could play the game, 666 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 2: you know, one hundred times and you have you know, 667 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 2: a hundred different outcomes. 668 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 4: There's really no strategy to be high. 669 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 3: Like, so if somebody's coming into the game the next 670 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 3: time it airs, somebody's gonna call you and they're gonna say, 671 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 3: what's your best advice for me? 672 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: No one called me. 673 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 2: I'm here, you're telling me that Michael called you. I'm like, 674 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 2: I was so scared by NBC. Not then they didn't 675 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,719 Speaker 2: scare me per se, but I just was like, I 676 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 2: was like, I'm gonna just not talk to anybody, I'm 677 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 2: gonna just step into this. And so I didn't speak 678 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 2: to anybody going into the game that I was reading 679 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 2: all of what you guys all people, and I wish 680 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 2: I had more of those contacts. But now, yeah, I 681 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 2: recommend anybody who was going to do the show feel 682 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 2: free to reach out. I will happily engage it. And 683 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 2: don't be too scared of the powers that be. As 684 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 2: far as connect, you're not going to tell on them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 685 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 2: But look, I think that you have to be able 686 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 2: to early on in the game sit back a little 687 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 2: bit and observe and watch exactly who's acting which way, 688 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 2: who's being a loud voice in the room, who is 689 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 2: rallying the troops and why. I think if you can 690 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 2: observe that and then choose very wisely when you want 691 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 2: to speak up, and do speak up. You know you 692 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 2: don't want to be Don't be the person that sits 693 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 2: back and doesn't do anything and is super quiet the 694 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 2: whole time. You need to. You need to speak up. 695 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 2: Make sure you speak up at the round tables. Make 696 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 2: sure you're showing the faithfuls that you are trying to 697 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 2: figure out who the traders are. 698 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: I want to I want to talk to you about 699 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: Colton because there does seem to be a little bit 700 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: of a double standard between him and Ron. They both 701 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: did the exact same thing, but everyone went after Ron 702 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: instead of going after Colton, because you know, yeah, Colton 703 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: was wrong about Tiffany, very very boisterous about it. He 704 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: was wrong about Michael Rappaport as well. But somehow all 705 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: of the kind of like the shame and blame went 706 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,239 Speaker 1: on to Ron. But in this most recent roundtable, all 707 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it turns and you have Ron up, 708 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: You've got Colton up, and then you've got Lisa, who 709 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: was not on anyone's radar except for Colton, and then 710 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: he was able to skew that entire room to get 711 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: very very close to getting Lisa out, so much so 712 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: that a fellow trader in Rob votes for Lisa in 713 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: that moment. Are you thinking that Colton could be a 714 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: trader or that Lisa could be a trader or is 715 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: it just like we got to know about Rone. 716 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 2: I felt pretty confident that Colton was a faithful I 717 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 2: think that you can look at the voting record and 718 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 2: be suspicious, but it did seem like he was very 719 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 2: earnest in how he wanted to play the game. He 720 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 2: wanted to figure out who the traders were as soon 721 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 2: as I mean, he was the first one. As soon 722 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,959 Speaker 2: as we got somebody. It was like, all right, who's 723 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 2: next right away? And his instincts were lining up with 724 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 2: a lot of hours right in mind personally, you know, 725 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 2: when he spoke up about Lisa, it was something I 726 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 2: was like, yep, there was something that I've had there. 727 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 2: And so I think when you've got even though he's 728 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 2: swinging and missing, just like Ron did, there's there's big 729 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 2: swings and it's a big miss the end of the day. 730 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 2: At least Colton is he's kind of got his track 731 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 2: record of really trying, you know, earnestly to actually figure 732 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 2: it out. And Ron kind of came out of left 733 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 2: field and just started presenting this evidence at the roundtable. 734 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 2: And meanwhile, somebody else was clearly in the hot seat, 735 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 2: and so it was like, all right, is he distracting us? 736 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 2: So I think that there's the difference there. It's kind 737 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 2: of what I talked about earlier about a little bit 738 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 2: of the strategy. It's like, you don't want to sit 739 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 2: back too much, right everyone says he has to sit 740 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 2: back and and just goes through the first few episodes, 741 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 2: don't speak up because you never know what can happen. 742 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 2: But you do want to speak up a little bit. 743 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 2: You want to you want to show that you're trying 744 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 2: to figure out who the Traders are and you're presenting 745 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 2: some evidence that you have. So yeah, I think at 746 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 2: that point I wasn't on the Colton. I was on 747 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 2: to Lisa, so I lined with him there, but I 748 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 2: still again was like, all right, I got to stick 749 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 2: to my guns here. Everything that's happened up to this point, 750 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 2: I need to stick with my vote until I get 751 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 2: more evidence, and right now we're not ready to go 752 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 2: full on Lisa. 753 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 3: Did you ever happen to notice Trader on Trader in 754 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 3: my season? At watching my season? Did you see how 755 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 3: they wanted to kill each other? The Traders gave themselves 756 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 3: away every time they got in a fight because they 757 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 3: it would be so between the two of them going 758 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 3: after each other, And. 759 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 4: There's always that The only way to really know. 760 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 3: If somebody's one hundred percent of Trader is if you're 761 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 3: a Trader. 762 00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 2: Yep, yep. I think, yeah, it's interesting, you know this 763 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 2: point through five episodes, or six episodes in the game. 764 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 3: Maybe we didn't see what I'm saying up till now, 765 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 3: have you seen have you ever looked at two people 766 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:09,359 Speaker 3: and go. 767 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 2: Mmm, there there were there were times there was a 768 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 2: bit of of actually, even Colton and Michael, you know, 769 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 2: there's your yeah, ruled up right, And and so I 770 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 2: would allow myself to go down the path and thinking, 771 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 2: all right, what's the scenario here where this is these 772 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 2: are two traders that are just fighting up in the 773 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 2: turret and now they're taking it in the round table 774 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 2: and saying, all right, who can we get acts first? 775 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,720 Speaker 2: So you know, that is something that is definitely talked about. 776 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 2: I never really had, up to this point a strong 777 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,240 Speaker 2: inclination that there was any trader on trader fighting happening. 778 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 4: No, I don't. I didn't see. Well, we haven't seen 779 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 4: it so far. I want to see the most wives fight, though. 780 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,439 Speaker 2: Yeah. They up to this point they they've had real, 781 00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 2: real clean synergy I think between the traders and and I. Yeah, 782 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 2: they're they're kicking ass up there. 783 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 4: They really are. 784 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 3: They're doing a great job, and they're agreeing on things, 785 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 3: and I kind of like it. I think that's the 786 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 3: job the traders are supposed to do if they want 787 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 3: to win. 788 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 2: Do you guys like, was there somebody else that you 789 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 2: wish was up in the turret? Or do you like 790 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:20,439 Speaker 2: the Traders that they chose? 791 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 3: I love the Traders. Well, of course I'm biased, but 792 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 3: I love the Traders that they chose. 793 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, every season, you know, like for for my season, 794 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: my big complaint was I thought that the Traders are 795 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: being stupid, and that's like what ended up getting me 796 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: kicked out. I was like, that was dumb. We're going 797 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: to get rid of Derinda. And then this this season, 798 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,479 Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, the Traders are really really smart and 799 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: doing a much better job than I think in the 800 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: in the season past. But listen, you know the thread 801 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: on the sweater is starting to unravel with Rob voting 802 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: for Lisa and seeing the writing on the wall. You 803 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: haven't seen the episode ode, so I don't even know 804 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,760 Speaker 1: if you know that this happened. But Colton took Lisa 805 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: aside and effectively tried to create an alliance, saying, I 806 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 1: know you're Creator. If you are, I won't say your 807 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,439 Speaker 1: name if you protect me and we go all the way. 808 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 1: Did you know that that had happened? 809 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,959 Speaker 2: Yes, he did. He did tell a couple of us 810 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,320 Speaker 2: that that happened. 811 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 4: So I don't think that's a good idea. 812 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 2: No, that's again I think, uh, Colt's playing a dangerous game. 813 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 2: He knew he was playing a dangerous game. But and 814 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 2: I was sitting there going like, you know what, better 815 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 2: him than me again, because you know, we want to 816 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 2: make it to the end and give Colton a lot 817 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 2: of credit. He was I think Candace dubbed him varsity 818 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 2: early on. He was leading the charge. Uh, And to me, 819 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 2: I was like, man, it's it's going to get him 820 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 2: out of his game at some point. That's the way 821 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 2: I felt. But yeah, he uh, he did mention that. 822 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 2: He he told me and it was also it was 823 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 2: it was a part of what he put forth to 824 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 2: some of us. And as far as evidence of like 825 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 2: I called out Lisa, I just said it right to 826 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 2: her face. I said, just protect me in the turret 827 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 2: and he said that, you know just she had a 828 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 2: little bit of a chuckle. I guess you guys have 829 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 2: seen it. But that was a validating moment for him. 830 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 2: If there wasn't any you know, anything left to doubt 831 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,800 Speaker 2: that she was a trader, that was a big moment 832 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,319 Speaker 2: for him. That sealed it. 833 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: It was a bold move, as you know, like a 834 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: guy who's worked on a reality TV show for a 835 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:32,280 Speaker 1: very very long time. I understand the edit and the cut. 836 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 1: My question to you is, is there someone that's not 837 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: getting airtime thus far that you thought would be getting 838 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 1: more airtime? Like, I'm surprised that, like Johnny's not on 839 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 1: my screen more because I feel like that guy is 840 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: so fun to watch on TV. But for someone that 841 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 1: was there, were you, Like, I'm surprised that they're not 842 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 1: a bigger presence in the show thus far. 843 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, Johnny's a great one. Johnny's hilarious. I love Johnny. 844 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 2: He has I mean, he's enjoyed to be around. He's 845 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 2: got some great some funny lines, and and just brought 846 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 2: a lot every single day. Yeah, surprised to see not 847 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 2: as much Johnny. There's also there was a lot of 848 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 2: jam Jam. I know he's gotten some good camera time, 849 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 2: but there was a lot of Michael and jam Jam, 850 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 2: and they leaned more on the Michael and Colton, but 851 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 2: there was Yeah, there was a heavy back and forth 852 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 2: between jam Jam and Michael. So I was surprised to 853 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 2: not see all of that in there. But yeah, you know, 854 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 2: I think at this point you've got some there's some 855 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 2: great personalities in the turn where you know it's funny. 856 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 2: I mean Rob early on, you know, I went into 857 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 2: the game, I met Ryana. Hey, what's what's up? My 858 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 2: name Steve, and he's like, hey, I'm Rob. I'm like, cool, man, 859 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 2: where are you from? He's like Alabama. I'm like okay. 860 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 2: And then everyone the first he was one of the 861 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 2: first that everyone was like, hey, the guy, the snake dude, 862 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 2: like he's he's probably a trader because we had nothing 863 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 2: to go off of, right, and you're just looking to 864 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 2: point a finger at somebody. So everyone was pointing at 865 00:40:54,600 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 2: Rob from that before the traders were even picked. Right 866 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 2: after the secret Trader was picked, I was like, man, 867 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 2: what's up with his energy? And so it's it's interesting 868 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 2: to see now watching the show and seeing him in 869 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 2: the turret and seeing how he's talking in his interviews 870 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 2: as well. Right, I mean, he's just you know, he's 871 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 2: he's a smart dude. So I I you see the 872 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 2: personalities that they got up there. You're seeing a lot 873 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 2: of the traders, you know, more than that, I guess, 874 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 2: but yeah, look at list is a big personality. Candae 875 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 2: is a big personality, and and Rob in his own 876 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,239 Speaker 2: right is a great personality. His whole strategy and the 877 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 2: way he's playing the game is is fun to watch 878 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,320 Speaker 2: right now. So yeah, but yeah, at the end of 879 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 2: the day, I think, to answer your question, Johnny's a 880 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,919 Speaker 2: great one. I would have liked to see Monette stick around. 881 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 2: Monete was a great personality, and I thought he was 882 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 2: gonna go really far, and so it just sucks again. 883 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,240 Speaker 2: He just he's not speaking up to a lot of people, 884 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 2: but he spoke up to the wrong person. 885 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,359 Speaker 4: And yeah for that, Ah, that's that sucks. I would 886 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:00,839 Speaker 4: have liked teen him more too. 887 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 3: But was it your theory, Wells that you said that 888 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,879 Speaker 3: they show or maybe it was Paul, it was me, Oh, 889 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 3: was you okay? That they show a lot of the 890 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 3: people that are going to last longer? They don't show 891 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 3: a lot of the people that last in the beginning. 892 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, they give all the screen time to the people. 893 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 4: That are that are being or murdered. 894 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And so it's a little and I could 895 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: be totally wrong, but it's a little bit of a tell. 896 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,359 Speaker 1: Like the Johnny one, Mike, my theory is is that 897 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: he goes a very far way because he's way too 898 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: big of a personality to have not been on my 899 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: screen enough, you know. But like Michael Rappaport was a firecracker. 900 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: He burned bright and fast and it was out, you know. Like, 901 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: so I look at the TV show that way, not 902 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: to get like two insider Baseballly, but you know what, 903 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: but to get insider Baseballly. There's a lot of stuff 904 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: that gets left on the cutting moon floor. It's always 905 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,960 Speaker 1: my favorite stuff on Paradise. I'm always like, I'm so 906 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 1: bummed that didn't make it because it was so funny 907 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,400 Speaker 1: or is so dramatic or whatever. On Yeah, was there 908 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 1: anything that happened on Traders that didn't make the cut 909 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: that you were like, Man, I really wish the audience 910 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: had seen that. 911 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 4: Give us something good. I know you got it in you. 912 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 2: Oh man, Shoot, that is a great question. I want 913 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 2: to have a great answer for you. Guys, I tell 914 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 2: you so so far. There's there's a few things just 915 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,840 Speaker 2: personally I'm glad that they didn't use because you're so 916 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 2: you're over analyzing, you know, your own actions in the game. 917 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 2: And even when I first was speared, uh for the 918 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:37,280 Speaker 2: mission and episode is. I think it's episode five where 919 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 2: they put a spear and that's the first episode four 920 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 2: that I'm gonna be up for murder for the first time, 921 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 2: and I think I was. I was walking back and 922 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,880 Speaker 2: I was just like, oh man, I said to myself, 923 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 2: or I said out loud to the people I was with. 924 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 2: I was like, you know, how could they spear me? 925 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,879 Speaker 2: Like don't they know how important I am to the missions? 926 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 2: And after that, I was like, why did you say that? 927 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 2: As if you're so important to the and everyone's like, no, 928 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 2: don't touch Stephen, like it's like, leave him be So. 929 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 4: I spared you?

Leave terror? 931 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:12,760 Speaker 4: Oh okay, okay? 932 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,760 Speaker 2: And then and it's so and then she said, which 933 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 2: God blessed terror. She said that the sweetest things and 934 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 2: in her interview about you know, having to spare me 935 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 2: and didn't want to and all that, that was really nice. 936 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 2: So I was dreading that moment. I was like that 937 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 2: spearing they're going to show me like pouting, like hey, 938 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 2: why how dare they spare me? Uh? So, yeah, that 939 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 2: was that was funny.

So there's a 956 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 2: lot of back and forth that went. So you could 957 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,839 Speaker 2: you could play you know, a ten minute scene at 958 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 2: least from just you know, Michael and Colton, Michael and 959 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,480 Speaker 2: Jam Jam from that roundtable.

How would I do? You know, what 996 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,359 Speaker 2: would I be able to make it as far as 997 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 2: I did? 998 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,640 Speaker 4: Or would you do something different? What would you do different? 999 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,759 Speaker 2: Or exactly? And there would I think that there is 1000 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 2: a bit of like, oh okay, I think you know, 1001 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:43,799 Speaker 2: maybe early on, here's what I've learned, Like the way 1002 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,560 Speaker 2: that people speak up. These personalities are great in some 1003 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,959 Speaker 2: of these interviews. I mean, whether you know it's it's Maura, 1004 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 2: who didn't speak up a lot around the castle, but 1005 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 2: when she spoke up, she's got these great one liners, 1006 00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 2: these tidbits. It's like it's she's really funny, and she's 1007 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,919 Speaker 2: also like commands kind of a you know, command the room. 1008 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,239 Speaker 2: When she speaks up. It's not just the accent, but 1009 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:05,880 Speaker 2: it's it's the eyes and the fact that she's been 1010 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:11,399 Speaker 2: beamed down from another galaxy. But you know. I think 1011 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 2: that too. For me, I want to go back because 1012 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,440 Speaker 2: I was also sick. I was terribly sick. 1013 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 1: The first Yeah, what was the matter? I heard that? 1014 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,560 Speaker 2: I felt I not like Johnny. His was much more graceful. 1015 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 2: I jumped in on purpose at some point to help 1016 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,400 Speaker 2: our boat in that first mission. I got super sick. 1017 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 2: I got Mark sick at one point, I got some 1018 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 2: of the crew sick, and and then I'm just, of 1019 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 2: course in my head about I'm going to get voted 1020 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 2: out because I'm the sick guy. But I'd be in 1021 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,919 Speaker 2: some of those interviews and you know, trying to speak 1022 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,759 Speaker 2: about the missions in the games just it's not and 1023 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 2: just gross, and I'm just terribly frustrated. I just want 1024 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 2: to go home at that point. So I felt like 1025 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 2: it would be I want to have one more fun 1026 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:52,840 Speaker 2: in those interviews. I can go back and play the 1027 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:54,799 Speaker 2: game again. That's something that that I would want to do. 1028 00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,360 Speaker 1: Well.
