So I 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.680 think this is really exciting because forty people. 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.839 I mean, if you're a fan of the show, you know, 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:52.400 like a purge was gonna happen. 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.760 Yeah, that's another right, it's too many a. 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.280 First day girl, I mean, so i'd be hot. 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.000 I mean, you haven't even had time to pull out 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.319 all the lip glosses, you know, like the hostyles you 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.720 wanted to do, and you might be eliminated already. And 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.240 on top of that, they start with the Great Equalizer, 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:14.720 a puzzle and as Banana says, right, sometimes you just 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.000 ace a puzzle and then sometimes that puzzle aces you 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.920 like it just doesn't work, and then they're in water 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.600 at night. Look, I have no problem swimming. I don't 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:25.600 mind water challenges. I don't mind height challenges. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.319 I don't love water at night challenges. 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:29.800 Yeah. 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:31.520 Uh, you'd have been mad at me. 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.120 You'd have been on this podcast, like David, I know 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.880 you didn't just quit I TJ. Look, I don't know 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:38.520 what's down there, and you don't know what's down here. 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:39.640 It's been black. 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:40.479 No, thank you. 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:44.399 Right, take my chances in elimination eight eliminations. To be specific, 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.040 there are going to be eight eliminations. 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.400 What that is a lot and not TJ calling those 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.440 Snapple caps boats. Those are not real boats, TJ. I 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.360 don't know where you found them. They do look cool. 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.880 The water though, shout out to production because usually the 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.240 water when he walked up like always water that actually 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:05.360 was really cool. 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.600 It like they were at like Disneyland or something. It 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.959 was so pretty, so nice. 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.359 I love love love, Yeah, I loved it. I'm nerve 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.400 vibe for this cast because we look like they're about 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:19.600 to go through it through its you know, and then 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:25.799 like just going through this whole invitational situation, this purge, right, 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.440 that has to be terrifying. You already in a shaky 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.400 situation because you know that you're here with forty of 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.239 the best of the best of the best. Right according 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.400 to TJ, he serves time and low and picked the 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.160 forty best you know competitors to do this season. 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.359 No, I agree. I Okay, here's a question for you. 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.600 Is it because my biggest fear has always been going home, like, 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.760 get elimated right away, that is my biggest fear. Is 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.680 it better if you go home first and at least 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.160 you're going home with a big group, because usually I 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.119 feel like we don't always see purges this early on. 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.800 Or is it worse going home with this big of 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:03.680 a group, you know? 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:08.040 Like, I think the blow is still going to feel 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.359 the same because you're still going home first, but you're 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.360 not going home alone, right, And so I'm pretty sure 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.760 the group whoever it is that ends up going home, 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.320 they're gonna travel, They're gonna hang out together. At least 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.760 we can be losers together, right, I'm not sitting in 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.600 the hotel room by myself like we all lost, you. 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.440 Know, one band, one sound, and so. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.000 I think I think it might be better as a 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:31.239 team a team lost. 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:32.600 Yeah, that's fair. 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.600 You kind of feel like the numbers weren't on your side, 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.840 then right, let's show that you failed. But like all 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.200 these and because there are so many great competitors that 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:44.200 whomever loses in this invitational, it's still gonna be like, 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.400 there's gonna be some amazing heavy hitters. Because I don't 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.400 think there's really a weak person on this season. So 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.320 now there's gonna be heavy hitters that you're going home. 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.760 You can kind of feel like, well, I'm going home 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.080 with potentially some champs. I'm going home with some you know, 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.240 heavy hitters across the thing. Speaking of heavy hitters, we 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.080 had ce T and Rachel come out on top of 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:02.760 Era one. 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.560 That wasn't really a surprise to me, not a surprise. 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:06.080 To you all. 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.960 Era two we had Lauren Bananas win, also not a surprise, 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:15.080 right shot. On Era three, we had Tory and Corey win. 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:17.559 I expected Tori and Devin. 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.559 Not gonna lie, it's a Corey, but I expected Tory 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:25.000 and Devin. Especially the way Corey struggled on that puzzle. 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.280 I expected it to be Tori and Devin but I 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.560 was very, very very surprised, you know, shout out to Cory. 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.599 He is his time. I guess he may show up. 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:33.440 I think it is. 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.240 And I actually think Corey's probably underrated. I hope for 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.080 this season because I think if he did, I think. 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:40.880 He'll be a powerhouse. 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.520 Cory, Yeah, I think Corey could definitely be a contender, 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:44.720 But I agree. I was kind of surprised to see 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.880 him win. And then for Era four we had Michelle 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:47.839 and Odossio. 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.159 I'm not surprised with Michelle. 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.719 She knew she had something to prove, especially after season 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.520 thirty nine, like you can't take chances and coming in 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:59.080 last she could not specifically. And then with Hirasio, you know, 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:03.280 going back to to that launch night, that red carpet event, 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.960 we had, uh, the talks people, here's a little inside 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.560 tea from there, and I the talks were that the 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:13.600 cast had already formulated this target on Horassio because they 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.520 said he was being isolated, he wasn't talking to anybody, 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.960 and so he had already become a number one target. 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:23.279 At that point, the game hadn't even started and he 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:24.200 was already a target. 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.200 So him coming in and winning was. 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.760 Like he didn't have a choice. And so I'm proud 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.440 of you because baby, they was coming for you. Okay, 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.280 glad to see that he came out on top. Now 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.000 let's talk about the people who came out below the bottom. 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.320 Katie and Mark. I'm very shocked from Mark, very shocked. 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:43.320 No shade to Katie. That's my girl. 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:47.360 I love her down but you know, if Katie doesn't 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.080 want to do something, she's just not gonna do it, 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:50.080 so you know. 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.040 But Mark, I was very surprised. 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:57.320 Yeah, absolutely, Katie being more concerned about how she's gonna look, Yeah, 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.840 how she's gonna look, and just spinning in circle. 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.200 It's sort of I don't know, it's just it's a whole. 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.800 It's a vibe. Kelly Ann and Ryan. 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.320 Yeah, I don't know. 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.359 I didn't expect them to come in first, but I 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.320 don't know about last, maybe like second or third. 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:14.920 I was shocked. 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:16.480 Yeah, yeah, I don't know. 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:17.200 I don't know. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:18.920 I mean, I feel like it can just be that 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.479 it's one of those things, right, or the great equalizer, 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:22.040 but you have. 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.120 To think of everyone else who's on their team though, 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:25.000 you see what I'm saying. 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:28.479 So one of those situations. Yeah, yeah, that's Fair Era three, 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:29.640 Naya and Leroy. 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:30.200 Oh. 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:31.719 I was distraught. 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.200 I mean, I'm not surprised at Lee in this particular challenge, 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:39.720 but I don't want Lee to go home, like I 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:41.960 do not want I want to see this play out 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:42.280 for Lee. 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.240 I want to see it. Like I'm nervous about it. 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:44.719 I don't know. 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.440 I was surprised because friend didn't even have to swim. 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.200 All he had to do was get in the boat. 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.240 So yeah, I was a little surprised Friend, but you. 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.520 Know, that's my dog. I'm gonna hold him down. 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.640 Yeah, I lovely, Lovely. And then Nurse and THEO.

I was also surprised because she's. 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:21.240 Also a powerhouse, right, yeah, right, I was in her air. 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:22.760 She's one of the ones I'm putting my money on, 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.960 right for sure. The standard she holds for herself, I 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.040 really hope she can call herself back in it, you 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:30.800 know what I mean, Like, I don't like she ain't, 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:35.040 especially after the last season, like ah, yeah, yeah a lot. 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:35.760 I was. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:40.200 I was happy though, because you know, going back to 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:41.440 Era three, you know I was. 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:41.760 I was. 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.320 I was distraught because you know, you want to see nine, 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.320 you want to see Leroy do very well. But a 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.840 Manda not coming in last I think shocked may have 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.240 shocked everybody because I think that was the expectation that 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.240 she was going to be the last. I thought it, 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:00.400 that's my sister. But I thought I was, like, I 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:01.120 believe you. 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.080 I believed in you, Amanda. 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.640 I thought you was going in friend. I thought she 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:06.240 was out of here. 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:10.800 So Amanda, I love her. I was shocked though, and 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:12.960 I was so so so proud of her. And then 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.480 you know, I almost teared up because when she made it, 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:16.280 she said thank you. 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.400 Dad, I said, I know, my heart. 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.000 Oh, I was so proud of her. 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.720 For sure, I really feel like Amanda may be okay, 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:29.480 And watch me like saying this, right, I'll say, I 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.880 feel like she might be like taking a new like 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:37.040 taking a slightly different approach this season, hopefully, Like I. 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:40.560 Think I hope but you know, yeah, she made we 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:41.240 will see. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.960 I will say it's disappointing as it was for who 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.520 came in last. What's really interesting is seeing this Michelle 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.959 and Hirasio having to decide together because if you guys 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.360 remember right on thirty nine, they were completely at odds 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.199 the Godfather. Michelle is part of the reason why Orossio 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.200 went home.

I mean, male female cat 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.280 dogfish frog. My girl did it, Okay, she tore that 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:38.040 thing up ct of course, like I enjoy watching him 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.440 compete in him to come in with the younger generation, 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.680 you know, and they tried to make fun of him 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.280 the dad by he looked good this season.

And 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.559 then I really and I know you may not agree 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.240 with me, but I really want to give Kara a 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.760 gold star for the way she handled herself in that deliberation. Okay, 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.760 I was very surprised and very very proud of her 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:07.160 because it was not the Kara I expected, you know 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.920 what I'm saying, And so that that shows that the 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.760 time away growth happened. And you know, I'm always applawed growth. 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.439 So that's my time. That's my gold stars for this week. 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:20.160 How about you my gold stars for this week? 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:20.480 Okay? 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:24.520 This one, oh well, a mess o two. 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.240 This is not the Hunger Games. I'm not rationing it out. 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:31.880 My gold star for the week is not one that 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.000 you guys are gonna see coming. 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:34.640 I don't know what you read it. 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:38.000 It actually goes towards Kelly Ann and the reason why 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:42.720 she wants to win. Everybody else we hear the reasons 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.839 why they want to win, right. Sometimes it's like, oh, 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:50.080 it's for family. Sometimes it's like for Corey it's because 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:53.960 he supposedly is going to have a wedding Corey boy bye. 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.560 But Kelly and is because she wants to open an 0:11:56.600 --> 0:12:00.120 animal shelter. And I just appreciate that so much and 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.079 I believe her, like because you know, sometimes people be 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:03.600 saying that because they want you to like root for them. 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:04.400 No, if you know. 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.439 Kellyanne, you know that she loves me. That is very 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.439 much Kellyanne, And honestly at all, when I reach a 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.120 level of success, that that too is what I want 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.160 to do. So I'm rooting for her solely off of that. 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.679 I really really would love for her. 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:19.600 To, you know, accomplish that. 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:19.800 Now. 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.960 I know obviously she didn't. 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.360 Hold up for the animals in this particular challenge today, 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.240 but it's all right. There are moments, you know, wins 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:27.800 and losses. I'm going to give her a gold star 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.560 for her reasoning of being on this season of the challenge, 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.720 and I hope she's able to win some money that 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.600 can go towards helping the animals. 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.160 I'm a big sucker for animals. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:37.280 All right. 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:42.480 Now we're going to talk about timeouts, and uh, my 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:44.280 time out has. 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:45.160 To go to Okay. 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.839 I don't love complainers. I don't and maybe that's maybe 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.520 that I should go seek therapy about that. And you know, 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:53.839 as a child not being able to express myself, I 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.040 don't know, but I don't love when people woe is 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.160 me a lot like you can maybe do a woe, 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.520 but then let it go Katie spinning in that bottle cap.

I expected more, you know, and the 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.080 two powerhouses came in last. So I'm like, what we 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.600 gonna do moving forward? Like I'm nervous. 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:35.320 Geez Louise. 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.800 So I'm gonna give them bronze, and then I'm gonna 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:44.960 give silver to Era one.

And 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.080 then bronze is going to have to go to Air 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:14.600 four as well because they didn't hold up to what 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:17.160 my expectation was, but I think they can work it out. 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.440 I'm gonna have to say that silver goes to Era 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:22.840 two for me. Although I love what Laurel did and 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:27.359 Laurel crushed it, still seeing them in deliberation, I'm just 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.159 thinking they're gonna implode, you know what I mean, Like 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.119 the bonds there are not that strong, and I'm not 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.360 that hopeful. My goal's going to Era one if that's 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.000 who have to put my money on right now, it's 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.600 still Era one because I do think they have this 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:45.679 sort of solid knowing, you know what I mean, like 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.480 understanding that I really feel like Era one could take 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.399 it home at this point as long as their knees 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:54.119 and joints don't go out. I feel like there is 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.320 potentially a chance. But the good news is we're gonna 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.840 find out if there's a chance for Era one to 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:04.640 take it home because we have a very special team 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:05.639 member from Era one, don't we. 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:07.960 Triple O double O, double O, double Old. 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.480 I mean all the way to the Old and the 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:15.199 Capitol Old double g H.

My alliance was with Jesus. 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:50.000 Right. 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:53.520 No, it's funny because I got the call, right, I 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:55.639 got the availability call and I had no idea what 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:57.400 was for. They actually go, do you know what. 0:20:57.400 --> 0:20:57.880 This is for? 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:00.359 And I was like all stars and they were like, no, 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.160 it's for season forty. And I was like, oh, Diiz 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.040 the pig Daddy because it's so funny because I was 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:09.560 with people a few weeks ago and him and I 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:11.440 did what we think was the first challenge because it 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:13.960 was truly a real world versus Road Rules in ninety eight. 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:18.080 But the fact that you know, he's still active and 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:20.720 I'm still active after all of the years. So when 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:24.040 I got the call like I had to, you know, 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:26.199 it's such a blessing to be part of it for 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:28.200 that long and to be healthy enough to be able 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:31.399 to compete. And it's just, you know, from a fans 0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:33.720 aspect of growing up. You guys know this, fans grow 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:35.800 up with you as they watch you. So they've grown 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:37.960 up with me for a long time, and I've got 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:40.840 so many people coming up just excited that, you know, 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.840 back on the franchise show and it's going to be exciting. 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.600 But I was thrilled to get the call, and once 0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:48.840 I found out who else was going on, it was 0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:51.800 it was a real blessing and I feel so fortunate 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:55.240 that they called me up and it's great. I'm looking 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:56.000 forward to you guys. 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.600 See, I'm excited that you accepted the call, and you 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:04.400 know what, you are a little nerves like, yeah, yeah. 0:22:04.480 --> 0:22:08.120 I always say this because it's because look, I'm I'm 0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:10.960 a little older, right, I'm an older cast member, the 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:13.280 oldest one there. So I still I think, and I 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:16.520 say this a lot. I still physically look like like 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:20.160 a like I could deliver like every day, but metill, 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:26.040 my my bones are still an adult now in that 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:29.800 age racket, so it takes me a little bit to recover. 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.560 But I will say this, I don't think there's anything 0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:34.560 that I couldn't do at my age now that I 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:37.280 could do back back then or or vice versa obviously, 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:40.760 So I feel, you know, I will say that, I 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:44.399 just I felt I don't know if because Vietnam or 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:48.159 why not. But I just I I felt like it 0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:50.679 was going to be epic, so I had to be 0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:53.000 a part of it. I've better start, you know, taking 0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:56.919 my Fensrum silver adult Medical, you know, vitamins in the 0:22:56.920 --> 0:22:58.040 morning and starting to work out. 0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:02.480 But you may be using your meta musil as a crutch, 0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:03.480 all right, Mark, But. 0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:06.440 We also know that one that you. 0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:09.000 Know every time I've seen in person, I mean, good, look, 0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:11.439 this dude is jes y'all. If you haven't what you 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:13.879 see in the photos, I feel like doesn't even do 0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:17.800 it justice. But even on the top of that, you 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:22.200 started wrestling, Mark, that true market. 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:24.399 What's going on here? What comes on? 0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:29.400 Because it's funny because you know, someone in my position 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:33.040 of life, it's only natural to go from thirty five 0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:36.360 or thirty eight years of the challenge in professional wrestling, right, 0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:39.600 It's just a natural progression for someone.

So but I will say this, 0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:48.960 I I We've just watched the first episode, and there's 0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:53.960 nothing more deflating than trying to put your forty puzzle 0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:58.080 together still while people are actually finishing the race, putting 0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:02.399 their the lights. I remember, I remember Rachel and Tt 0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:05.080 going bad from a back done done, and I'm still 0:26:05.119 --> 0:26:09.840 struggling with this dam forty puzzle because I didn't know 0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:13.080 what you guys see was. They just told us we're 0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:15.560 gonna do a forty puzzle that was made out of blocks. 0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:18.199 I never saw this puzzle. I didn't know if this 0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:23.240 puzzle had any background and into my like the good 0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:26.639 thing about So when we ran, I actually got to 0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:31.280 the Era one post first. So now that's gonna that's 0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:33.879 gonna look awesome on camebra, you know, like me running 0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:36.640 and eating everyone else. But the fact was I got 0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:39.880 to my first station, and look what you're doing these 0:26:39.920 --> 0:26:42.159 your eyes might wander a little bit someone else was going. 0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:44.480 I had no one in front of me to even 0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:48.199 look off of. I had dark body, and I'd relighted by. 0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:49.919 I'd take a little peek back and see what the 0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:52.040 hell are you doing it? But I didn't know what 0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:54.640 I was doing for the first fifteen minutes of this thing. 0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:58.199 But again, every once in a while, I like to 0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:00.120 say this, every once in a while, I have to 0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:03.320 show people how terrible I really am the puzzles, and 0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:05.320 this episode was was a highlight of that. 0:27:05.720 --> 0:27:07.960 But are you sure it's not your strategy Mark to 0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:12.520 keep people from thinking that you know you're a dominant coorse. 0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:16.000 I feel like it might be if that was a strategy, 0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:22.240 then I pretty much executed it very poorly because but again, 0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:28.399 I never I never feel confident about doing anything. I mean, 0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:31.399 I know I can do everything physically, but sometimes with 0:27:31.480 --> 0:27:34.879 these puzzle situations are with these you know, That's one 0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:36.959 of the reasons I'm a broadcast journalism major. I went 0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:39.840 to college and said, what's the least math I can do? Whatever? 0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:45.160 He sign. 0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:49.320 Yes, I do, not like I'm like, give me two 0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:52.560 countdown clops, one that counts up and one that counts down, 0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:54.240 because I don't want to do the math. 0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:57.080 To figure out where we are. Just literally give me too. 0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:00.560 I think Johnny had the perfect interview that Today's like 0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:03.800 I'd either done really well at puzzles or just have 0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:07.680 totally been clueless. There's no there's no gray area of 0:28:07.960 --> 0:28:10.560 I either know it and press it or it's the 0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:13.440 most hardest thing I've ever done. But you know I 0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:16.680 I I'm glad to be there, you know, Era one. 0:28:16.800 --> 0:28:20.879 I loved being with those those cast members in my group. 0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:23.400 I have a lot of history with see Team Rachel Derrell, 0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:30.679 Brad Derrek, Jody, everyone there, Katie, Anissa, so like one 0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:33.879 of the things that I did notice about our group 0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:36.960 the first week was you would go in all the 0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:38.960 other eras kind of their areas that they were hanging out, 0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:41.400 and they'd be like grouped up and choose and like 0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:46.240 practicing sadoku right like, and we would just get together 0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:49.360 and bullshit and talk about old times, which I was like, 0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:51.920 that's that's one of the things that I think we 0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:55.240 used to love about the challenges, was it. You know, today, 0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:57.880 obviously you know you're playing for a lot more money, 0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:00.480 but back when you're playing with a razor scooter package 0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:04.680 in the temp repeated bed, You're like, let's no, I 0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:07.080 don't need to love to stress out. So I did 0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:11.040 notice a very heavy strategy change between Era one and 0:29:11.080 --> 0:29:11.920 all the other eras. 0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:14.840 Mark, do you feel like that's like both a pro 0:29:14.920 --> 0:29:16.360 and a con? And I think this is a looted 0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:19.440 in the episode that on one hand, Johnny mentioned that, 0:29:20.040 --> 0:29:23.560 like on one hand Era one, there is a certain 0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:26.000 level of like maturity that comes and you guys do 0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:28.080 have such long history in these strong bonds, so I 0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:30.959 feel like the expectation would be that you can communicate 0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:33.360 well right and better in that way. But on the 0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:35.520 other hand, when it comes to like, right. 0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:36.720 Now, the game that TJ is. 0:29:36.800 --> 0:29:38.680 Making everyone play where you have to kind of eat 0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:41.800 your own right and you're going within your teams, does 0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:45.040 that then put you at a disadvantage because you have 0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:45.840 this long. 0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:48.400 History or do you feel like it doesn't really matter? 0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:51.880 No. I love the fact. I love the fact that 0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:54.600 we all do have this history because it's nice. There's 0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:56.800 so many times where we all got to hang out 0:29:56.840 --> 0:29:59.920 as a big group guys and girls and just talk 0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.440 about funny moments from the past and I'm talking like 0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:05.200 og og stuff. So we would we would spend some 0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:08.800 of the nights just bullshitting rather than you know, practicing 0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:10.640 our craft, which we probably should have been doing these 0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:13.360 Sudoku puzzles and all that other craft. But yeah, but 0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:18.920 that first, that elimination, the twist at the beginning, kind 0:30:18.960 --> 0:30:22.360 of going against your own it's I want to say 0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:26.000 it was easier for us to get through that, but 0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:32.000 it's still very heartbreaking because obviously we're so close and 0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:34.080 we didn't want to Like, I didn't want to get 0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:36.160 there right away. I have to go against my buddies 0:30:36.160 --> 0:30:38.880 and my friends. I wanted to go against like Filasso 0:30:39.120 --> 0:30:41.640 or Cory or whoever, just so like Devin, like I 0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:43.360 wanted to go against some of the other younger guys. 0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:45.320 So the fact that that first wave we had to 0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:48.000 kind of trim the fat, it was kind of a 0:30:48.040 --> 0:30:49.880 bummer because I'm like, oh man, now I got to 0:30:49.880 --> 0:30:51.920 go against these guys. And you know, I, like I said, 0:30:51.920 --> 0:30:52.720 I'm not you know. 0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:54.880 TJ didn't care about people at all. 0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:57.920 I was every time I go in, I wish I 0:30:57.920 --> 0:31:00.000 could call TJ. I'm like, TJ gets your ass on here. 0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:03.040 I know a question mark. 0:31:03.080 --> 0:31:05.400 You know when Day and I were there ambushing you 0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:08.160 all behind the scenes before we kicked off this epic 0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:11.640 season of season forty, now we saw some people hitting 0:31:11.720 --> 0:31:15.480 up the gym on the low, being prepared, getting ready 0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:19.400 to go into the game. Were you regularly hitting the 0:31:19.480 --> 0:31:22.120 gym when you first got to Vietnam as well? 0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:25.840 When I got to Vietnam, I had every intent on 0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:29.800 going through the program doing my thing, but as you know, 0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:34.880 it's a foreign country, and I literally got a bacterial 0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:40.480 bound infection the second day. Oh no, I was dehydrated. 0:31:40.520 --> 0:31:42.560 So as much as I'd say I was, I wish 0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:45.160 I was in the gym. I was just trying to 0:31:45.200 --> 0:31:48.880 like get my body right, I didn't feel I didn't 0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:52.000 feel like myself going into it because of that, And 0:31:52.040 --> 0:31:54.000 not to say that that's gonaffect me either way, but 0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:57.520 you know, you have that program because if you sit 0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:00.360 in your room all day, you start self doubting your stuff. 0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:02.880 You hear people going to the gym, so I attempted 0:32:02.880 --> 0:32:04.640 a few gym things. So it's just I wish I 0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:07.160 felt a little better, but I was there. You know, 0:32:08.360 --> 0:32:10.120 a couple of people I've never met before, Like I 0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:12.080 was excited to meet Amanda because I heard she was 0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:16.520 a menace. I loved meeting her. We we actually got along. 0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:20.240 We got along really great. I still I still reach 0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:22.400 out to her now. I follow her little journeys with 0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:25.160 her little son, so she's She's someone that was surprisingly 0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:28.040 became close with there. But it was you know, I've 0:32:28.080 --> 0:32:30.840 never did a show with Jenny, who's just like a 0:32:31.080 --> 0:32:36.600 email athlete athlete like this, This woman is legit. I've 0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:39.520 never done the show with Michelle, who was very like 0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:44.040 I think she's a very strategically epic player. He's so 0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:45.680 smart and has the abuilding I don't know if it's 0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:47.640 the survivor owner, but she has the ability to think 0:32:47.720 --> 0:32:50.360 like three or four steps ahead, which is great in 0:32:50.400 --> 0:32:53.240 this game. And Devin two I've never played with. Devin 0:32:53.360 --> 0:32:56.240 is another smart guy that that can take two or steps. 0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:57.840 That's what I was gonna say. She's a girl Devon. 0:32:58.000 --> 0:33:01.840 Yeah, Like they're a perfect supple at the moment. 0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:05.160 Wow, Mark, I have to know, like, because I know 0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:07.120 we're into it, we're heavy, and we're hot, but we 0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:10.200 haven't even tapped on the fact that you came into 0:33:10.280 --> 0:33:12.600 this season and there's all of these. 0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:13.040 New people here. 0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:15.160 People you may know, people you may not know. I 0:33:15.200 --> 0:33:17.520 know we mix amingo at events and things like that, 0:33:17.560 --> 0:33:20.280 but now you're playing against these people who were you 0:33:20.440 --> 0:33:24.719 the most shocked or the most nervous to see like, 0:33:24.800 --> 0:33:25.680 oh you might. 0:33:25.520 --> 0:33:29.400 Be a problem. Oh man, you know who's not that 0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:33.560 unshocked because because I've seen him play. But you know 0:33:33.600 --> 0:33:37.440 who's another one that is really a great player is 0:33:37.560 --> 0:33:44.120 Piland kiland Island is another one. He's super smart and 0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:48.520 he doesn't get overly high or low on himself, so 0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:51.720 like he kind of plays a real calm game. And 0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:54.400 I noticed that at the beginning just how he would 0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:56.600 operate around the house. He was never the one that 0:33:56.680 --> 0:33:59.480 was being the class clown. He's never the one, you know, 0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:02.360 bragging about this or that, but he always you could 0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:05.680 always tell he did his homework and how to play 0:34:05.720 --> 0:34:08.480 this game. So I was always like, you know, he 0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:12.520 was on my radar. Of course, Hirasio is on my radar, 0:34:12.640 --> 0:34:15.480 just because I get approached by so many fans thinking 0:34:15.520 --> 0:34:21.960 I'm Horacio because we looked so much. That is That 0:34:22.080 --> 0:34:25.920 is my ongoing joke. I was with him, gud, you 0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:27.759 guys are seeing us in the same room. Now you 0:34:27.800 --> 0:34:32.680 know we're two separate people. I know he gets confusing, no, 0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:35.800 but but he's a He's like a lung little Latin 0:34:35.880 --> 0:34:39.040 Jordan with his uh just in his endurance and whatnot. 0:34:39.160 --> 0:34:42.279 That guy go for forever. But you know, and I 0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:44.880 I've done stuff with the recent and Olivia, so was 0:34:44.920 --> 0:34:47.279 fun to see them and a vive man who VI 0:34:47.560 --> 0:34:51.080 who has been on a year. I was so excited 0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:55.000 to see her because she's a little she's a pickbull man, 0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:57.080 she's smart, she knows how to play this game too, 0:34:57.400 --> 0:35:01.160 and you always got to be scared about not scared 0:35:01.160 --> 0:35:02.480 about it. I was scared in a good way that 0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:05.560 CT was on my team. CT is just such an 0:35:05.600 --> 0:35:08.360 epic existence on the challenge. 0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:11.760 What was it like seeing CT get emotional when he 0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:13.920 when they were talking about season fourty euse id be like, 0:35:13.920 --> 0:35:15.120 we don't always get to see. 0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:16.800 That side of CT. We see a lot of size 0:35:16.840 --> 0:35:20.640 about that sitting up there, Brian, what was that like? 0:35:21.040 --> 0:35:23.879 Look, he's such a I've said this, there's there's only 0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:26.279 a few cast members that if you say their name, 0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.279 there's no one else like them, and CT is on 0:35:28.320 --> 0:35:30.719 the top of that list. There's no one else you 0:35:30.719 --> 0:35:33.759 can compare to that as CT. Right, So he just 0:35:34.200 --> 0:35:37.319 he's so he's so unique. There's no one you can't 0:35:37.640 --> 0:35:39.880 until you've hung out with them, U can't explain like 0:35:39.960 --> 0:35:42.400 how he is in person because he's just he's just 0:35:42.480 --> 0:35:45.399 so interesting to me. So the fact that he came 0:35:45.440 --> 0:35:48.080 back to what was kind of an awesome moment for 0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:50.680 me because I get to see him while on occasion 0:35:50.760 --> 0:35:53.040 and we get to hang out and become closer. But 0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:57.000 it's always nice to really get to spend a more 0:35:57.080 --> 0:35:59.560 lengthy time with someone like that. And he was great, 0:35:59.760 --> 0:36:02.160 he's great. He was in my room, we chopped it 0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:06.120 up and he was funny and you know, DT's get 0:36:06.120 --> 0:36:08.600 your wee thing about CT is he'll show up and 0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:11.040 he's not really in great shape. So he starts training. 0:36:11.040 --> 0:36:12.000 When he gets to the. 0:36:11.920 --> 0:36:15.040 Yeah yeah, yeah, that's his first. 0:36:14.880 --> 0:36:17.800 Day of training and you see it cuts up the alcohol, 0:36:18.000 --> 0:36:20.720 gets his food right, and comes all him in the laperon, 0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:23.160 just completely sweaty from doing whatever he's done. But like, 0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:26.000 he's an interesting cat. I love seeing him getting emotional 0:36:26.040 --> 0:36:28.719 because him and I am especially like you know, he was, 0:36:28.840 --> 0:36:30.400 he's an OG two. So him and I have been 0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:32.880 involved in this game for many, many, many years, and 0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:35.239 people have grown up with him as well, So it's 0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:37.200 nice that we've got to spend some time together, you know. 0:36:37.600 --> 0:36:38.759 Yeah, I love that. 0:36:39.239 --> 0:36:42.640 And so Mark, when you found out from TJ that, 0:36:42.880 --> 0:36:44.360 you know, oh my god, you other and see the 0:36:44.480 --> 0:36:47.880 forty and then all the fund's over because almost half 0:36:47.920 --> 0:36:50.359 of everyone is going into elimination. 0:36:51.440 --> 0:36:53.120 What went through your mind? 0:36:53.160 --> 0:36:57.040 What was the feeling or the energy when TJ dropped 0:36:57.120 --> 0:36:58.279 that bomb on everyone? 0:36:58.840 --> 0:37:02.200 You're already right here, already at your anxiety levels, already 0:37:02.200 --> 0:37:05.200 at at ten because that first challenge, we're out in 0:37:05.200 --> 0:37:07.359 the middle of nowhere, so we had a long day, right, 0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:11.440 so it was exhaustion and anxiety. And he tells that 0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:13.960 it's like a dut punch because, like I said, we 0:37:13.960 --> 0:37:18.399 were so amped to go against in our quote unquote terms, 0:37:18.440 --> 0:37:21.840 the youngsters, right, we were so amped about that. To 0:37:21.920 --> 0:37:24.719 find out that not only was that not happened, but 0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:26.920 we're going to lose someone right off the bat that 0:37:27.040 --> 0:37:29.560 has to go head to head, it's just everyone. It 0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:33.319 was kind of deflating and it sucks. But you know, 0:37:33.480 --> 0:37:37.800 like TJ, they always throw us curveballs, and forty people's 0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:39.480 a lot of people to start off with. So we 0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:43.080 knew something. We knew something was going to happen, but 0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:45.480 we didn't know it was going to be that quick. 0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:49.839 And that many good, yeah, many, But I will say this, 0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:54.560 when it's that many, you know, when there's actually other 0:37:54.840 --> 0:37:58.239 losers and girl guys, girl losers that male losers from 0:37:58.320 --> 0:38:02.360 the challenge, you don't feel bad about Lucy. 0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:06.960 Not only did I lose, but you know too, and 0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:09.840 so did this one, and so did that one, you know, 0:38:09.920 --> 0:38:13.080 and so did uh Maurice. She lost too, So it 0:38:13.239 --> 0:38:15.840 kind of makes the losing part a little easier. 0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:18.839 Who do you think can we thought? 0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:20.960 I mean, don't make him say it. 0:38:21.280 --> 0:38:25.399 To make him say, well, well, you know, Katie never 0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:28.040 did it unfortunately, so Katie just was out. But I 0:38:28.080 --> 0:38:31.680 think I don't know if Leroy had to get dish 0:38:31.760 --> 0:38:35.719 back in from the Korean Coast Guard, I don't know. 0:38:35.760 --> 0:38:37.800 I think he was maybe the one out there the most. 0:38:38.600 --> 0:38:40.520 But yeah, that was a hard night. And those both 0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:43.080 those are like those are like t tops, so you 0:38:43.200 --> 0:38:46.439 literally paddle and you spin in a circle. The best 0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:48.799 line with Katie was like, I just don't want to 0:38:48.800 --> 0:38:49.840 look like a jackass. 0:38:51.480 --> 0:38:52.880 That was funny. 0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:54.640 She cracks me up. 0:38:54.800 --> 0:38:57.840 She might be one of the funniest. Yeah, absolutely, Katie 0:38:57.880 --> 0:38:58.520 is hilarious. 0:38:58.680 --> 0:39:01.359 It was brutal, though, and I I think you know, 0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:03.960 that set at precedent though for the rest of the 0:39:04.280 --> 0:39:06.560 whole challenge, I think people are thinking like, oh, this 0:39:06.640 --> 0:39:10.440 is expect the unexpected. It might not always be friendly 0:39:10.520 --> 0:39:12.799 and you might have to fire against your family every 0:39:12.840 --> 0:39:15.080 once in a while. But you know, I think we 0:39:15.160 --> 0:39:17.120 handled it. I think we handled it pretty good. In 0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:19.160 the deliberation thing, you know. 0:39:19.560 --> 0:39:24.040 That's deliberation was something serious, Oh my god, something serious. 0:39:24.320 --> 0:39:26.960 The leading like I have a producer's hack, so I'm 0:39:26.960 --> 0:39:29.759 always to give a producer it's like, well, like doing 0:39:29.800 --> 0:39:31.880 into that thing. It was like it was like we 0:39:31.880 --> 0:39:34.279 were shooting like an episode of Game of Thrones there 0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:37.080 it was like it was awesome and it was like 0:39:37.280 --> 0:39:41.160 it was moody, it was uncomfortable and everyone had to 0:39:41.200 --> 0:39:43.120 go in there wanted a time and do it. But uh, 0:39:43.320 --> 0:39:45.839 I love that. I think it adds an elements of out. 0:39:46.160 --> 0:39:48.120 Yeah, all right, we have to take a quick break, 0:39:48.160 --> 0:39:58.840 but we'll be right back after this. Okay, let's get. 0:39:58.680 --> 0:39:59.239 Back to the show. 0:40:00.200 --> 0:40:00.359 Mark. 0:40:00.400 --> 0:40:02.480 Did any of the ogs hook up with anybody? 0:40:03.440 --> 0:40:07.840 Oh, Brad Brad had a little hooked up session. Yeah, 0:40:07.880 --> 0:40:09.880 I think I think in the first week, Brad and 0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:12.560 the Brad and Emily how about that? 0:40:13.280 --> 0:40:13.840 Really? 0:40:14.320 --> 0:40:16.880 Yeah, they were they were playing their own they were 0:40:16.920 --> 0:40:19.640 playing their own elimination. It was called Hide the Sausage 0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:26.759 and Brad was winning. And you feel about this, I 0:40:26.800 --> 0:40:30.000 wanted to save that line forever. No, they I think 0:40:30.040 --> 0:40:32.719 they had some puddle sessions and some sucky face so 0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:36.439 it was uh, you know, they they they bonded over 0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:42.040 their spirituality of like uh, meditation and that stuff. You know. 0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:45.960 You guys know Emily, she's she's like one kind of 0:40:46.000 --> 0:40:48.520 space removed from just living on the land for the 0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:52.080 rest of their life and knowing that Emily is great. Emily. 0:40:52.160 --> 0:40:54.160 I want to every time I see Emily, I squeeze 0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:56.279 her because I want her positive energy in mind. 0:40:57.160 --> 0:40:59.680 She just rady and it's like such a beautiful energy. 0:40:59.719 --> 0:41:03.280 She really really and Brad is my god. I love Brad. 0:41:03.520 --> 0:41:06.160 Brad asks me every other month should I shaved the beard? 0:41:06.160 --> 0:41:08.200 And I said, hell, no, you're not shaved. That beer 0:41:10.640 --> 0:41:13.600 it is, I said, I said, you grow that thing 0:41:13.680 --> 0:41:16.239 down her knees, my friend. I said that, here's you. Now. 0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:19.319 As long as he has maintenance and it smells good, I. 0:41:19.280 --> 0:41:19.920 Have no issues. 0:41:19.960 --> 0:41:21.560 I don't want to know what's in that beer. 0:41:21.760 --> 0:41:24.200 The girls of I think the females wanted to shave. 0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:27.080 The females wanted to shave the beer because Brad. I think, 0:41:27.280 --> 0:41:29.000 you know, Brad's a handsome man without the beer. But 0:41:29.040 --> 0:41:32.200 that beard is down, yeah, and I love I love 0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:34.000 that for him. I don't want to shave it. 0:41:34.080 --> 0:41:36.879 Fana bread, yep, Fanta bread. 0:41:37.000 --> 0:41:39.600 I have to know because they got a little spicy 0:41:39.840 --> 0:41:43.080 in this effort. Okay, And while we were watching this recording, 0:41:43.200 --> 0:41:47.759 you said, you love the Polly and Theo stuff that 0:41:47.920 --> 0:41:49.760 was like in the house in real time. 0:41:50.640 --> 0:41:55.640 It's so funny. Polly's so dramatic, and I love Paulli, 0:41:55.760 --> 0:41:59.600 but he is so dramatic. Uh, but he plays it 0:41:59.640 --> 0:42:02.040 like it's fun to watch because he's just who he is. 0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:07.719 But that was two So I think in terms of 0:42:07.840 --> 0:42:10.439 me being I was like you guys at that point 0:42:10.440 --> 0:42:12.560 because I wasn't on their team, just watching him from afar, 0:42:12.640 --> 0:42:14.920 but seeing him the house rack me up because they 0:42:14.960 --> 0:42:17.680 were trying to like fleas on each other, like when 0:42:17.719 --> 0:42:20.719 they when they least expected or peacock around showing their 0:42:20.760 --> 0:42:23.520 feathers off because you know, you don't know this if 0:42:23.520 --> 0:42:25.920 you after the challenge. It's a couple of days or 0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:27.480 a day at least before you do the elimination, so 0:42:27.480 --> 0:42:30.239 there's time in the house of like X. So those 0:42:30.280 --> 0:42:34.399 two are hilarious. And I actually loved THEO. I told 0:42:34.440 --> 0:42:37.440 you because Theo's a big boy. Deal's like six six 0:42:37.600 --> 0:42:40.040 two fifty and he used to run like be a sprinter. 0:42:40.200 --> 0:42:43.239 So I don't know what they're gonna do. But if 0:42:43.280 --> 0:42:45.680 Paulie goes in there with THEO and it's something brutal, 0:42:45.719 --> 0:42:48.200 he's gonna have a problem. But flip side of that 0:42:48.440 --> 0:42:51.600 is I think Paulie's now worked himself up to thinking 0:42:51.640 --> 0:42:54.400 he could beat anyone in anything, that that's going to 0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:58.000 be a great battle. But man, the dramatics inside that 0:42:58.000 --> 0:43:02.960 that elimination chat or the nomination chat was was epic 0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:05.920 and I loved it. I was like you, I was 0:43:05.960 --> 0:43:07.759 a fan. I was like, oh, this is hilarious. I'm 0:43:07.800 --> 0:43:08.399 loving this ship. 0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:11.200 You know who I was proud of in the deliberation. 0:43:11.760 --> 0:43:13.920 I was proud of Kara. I felt like she ate 0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:14.640 that little thing. 0:43:14.680 --> 0:43:19.200 Up I think on strategy, yeah, sure, but yeah, we 0:43:19.239 --> 0:43:20.440 don't see that from Carra. 0:43:20.600 --> 0:43:21.520 We don't see that. 0:43:21.520 --> 0:43:23.719 That's there's carl Us. 0:43:23.840 --> 0:43:27.160 Like the old Carra would have talked her way right 0:43:27.200 --> 0:43:32.319 into you're absolutely gonna nolimination. Like the old car would 0:43:32.320 --> 0:43:33.799 have been like, fuck it, I know what you guys 0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:35.520 are gonna do. Throw me in that's cool. But like 0:43:36.040 --> 0:43:40.359 this was like the the evolved car of just saying, hey, 0:43:41.080 --> 0:43:43.719 I know this situation. I'm gonna try to play this, 0:43:44.960 --> 0:43:48.680 you know, responsibly and say let's work together now, guys, 0:43:48.800 --> 0:43:51.160 rather than against each other and be strong. But yeah, 0:43:51.200 --> 0:43:54.600 it's gonna be I'm I'm I don't know if there's 0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:58.160 gonna be a sunny, you know, a sunny side of 0:43:58.160 --> 0:44:00.000 this thing, or if it's gonna go down and completely, 0:44:00.320 --> 0:44:03.080 so I'm looking forward to again. We're not in there 0:44:03.200 --> 0:44:04.880 listening to this, so when you guys see it too, 0:44:04.880 --> 0:44:07.279 it's new to us too because the eras aren't sitting there. 0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:09.440 When the other eras are there, you only see yours. 0:44:09.440 --> 0:44:12.560 So this is fun for me. But I love it. 0:44:12.560 --> 0:44:16.000 It's just it's you know, Caara and Laurel have had 0:44:16.000 --> 0:44:18.399 a thing for years. I don't know if they deep 0:44:18.480 --> 0:44:21.560 down love each other, if they deep down hate each 0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:24.240 other and would rather see each other not even exist. 0:44:24.360 --> 0:44:28.160 I have no idea, but I don't think either. Yeah, 0:44:28.200 --> 0:44:30.839 I don't they I don't think that they know because 0:44:30.840 --> 0:44:32.560 you'll see him at one time and they're having like 0:44:32.600 --> 0:44:34.919 a chat, right They're having like a real four deel 0:44:35.040 --> 0:44:36.799 nice chat, and then you see him like an hour 0:44:36.920 --> 0:44:39.239 later they're yelling at each other. I'm like, how does 0:44:39.280 --> 0:44:40.759 this go from that to that? So quick? 0:44:40.880 --> 0:44:41.560 What happened? 0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:44.840 You know? I will say this though, Laurel in her interview, 0:44:44.920 --> 0:44:49.600 is not beaten the robot allegations anytime soon, because crazy 0:44:51.000 --> 0:44:54.000 Clara being like and I don't know, and then Laurel's like, 0:44:54.239 --> 0:44:56.520 I am here to be on a team with Kara. 0:44:56.880 --> 0:45:00.640 You're welcome, but I'm just like Laurel even rote by, 0:45:01.280 --> 0:45:05.520 please stop speaking of allegations or getting beat. 0:45:05.600 --> 0:45:09.239 What were your thoughts about the whole? So we see Derek, we. 0:45:09.200 --> 0:45:12.120 Love Derek, You me love and yeah, you already know 0:45:12.239 --> 0:45:15.479 we loved Herrell and Derek being like, I owe you one, 0:45:16.080 --> 0:45:18.400 you know, so I'm going to nominate myself, which is, 0:45:18.760 --> 0:45:20.759 you know, yeah, just what are you? And then of 0:45:20.760 --> 0:45:23.680 course we see Darrell being like, that's really sweet, and 0:45:24.960 --> 0:45:25.680 but I wouldn't do it. 0:45:25.760 --> 0:45:27.880 Could be I'm not doing it though, What are your 0:45:27.960 --> 0:45:28.640 thoughts on that? 0:45:29.120 --> 0:45:31.759 Look, Derek and I Derek was my number one guy. 0:45:32.080 --> 0:45:34.240 It's been like that for years now, and then everyone 0:45:34.280 --> 0:45:39.760 knows that. So Derek volunteering, you know, I was totally 0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:41.759 fine with that. Like I've always said this, and we 0:45:41.800 --> 0:45:43.920 said this together. A win for Derek is a win 0:45:44.000 --> 0:45:45.640 for me. A win for me is a win for Derek. 0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:49.160 So it I know that he really was harping on 0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:53.359 owing Darrell because we need. Darrell and Derek see each 0:45:53.400 --> 0:45:56.439 other a lot of times throughout the year still, and 0:45:56.480 --> 0:46:00.080 it's always like the trifecta of friendship, right, and I 0:46:00.120 --> 0:46:03.080 saw those guys this weekend and we're like, we just 0:46:03.160 --> 0:46:06.840 get along so well. So it's again back to TJ. 0:46:07.400 --> 0:46:09.960 It sucks that we had to pick one of each 0:46:10.000 --> 0:46:13.120 other because we are so close. But in the end, 0:46:13.200 --> 0:46:14.960 I don't think it would have been bare to throw 0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:17.239 Brad in because he came in a close second to 0:46:17.320 --> 0:46:19.160 c Eta. I don't think that would be right either, 0:46:19.200 --> 0:46:20.920 you know what I mean. So we knew it and 0:46:21.000 --> 0:46:24.720 it was gonna suck. But you know, I love Derek 0:46:24.840 --> 0:46:28.520 and I love his I've said this too, someone said 0:46:28.719 --> 0:46:31.120 you have to pick a person, and this is a challenge. 0:46:31.520 --> 0:46:32.879 You guys are all going to go in a room 0:46:32.960 --> 0:46:35.759 and you're gonna fight and scratch and kill each other, 0:46:35.800 --> 0:46:37.680 and only two people are going to walk out of 0:46:37.680 --> 0:46:39.520 the room. Who would you want as your partner? And 0:46:39.560 --> 0:46:41.919 it would be Derek one hundred percent because this guy, 0:46:42.520 --> 0:46:45.640 he never quits. He would rather die than quit. He'd 0:46:45.640 --> 0:46:47.719 be like the guy that you know runs out and 0:46:47.760 --> 0:46:50.759 passes out before he quits because he just I don't 0:46:50.840 --> 0:46:53.200 know how this guy operates. But me and Durrell lap like, 0:46:53.239 --> 0:46:55.440 this guy will run until he passes out before he 0:46:55.480 --> 0:46:58.479 taps out. Which you want that person on your team? Yeah, 0:46:58.520 --> 0:47:01.440 for sure, he's red for this kind of stuff, like 0:47:01.800 --> 0:47:03.680 to this day, that him and that Josh and hit 0:47:03.800 --> 0:47:04.520 his elimination. 0:47:04.840 --> 0:47:08.600 That elimination, Oh my gosh. And as you were speaking, 0:47:08.640 --> 0:47:10.439 I immediately thought about that, and I just was thinking 0:47:10.480 --> 0:47:12.400 about the flood over his eye and how it just 0:47:12.440 --> 0:47:14.400 was like not there was no quit. 0:47:14.600 --> 0:47:16.000 There was no quit. 0:47:16.080 --> 0:47:19.080 Do you know that elimination I spoke about this past week. 0:47:19.160 --> 0:47:22.760 That elimination took two hours to do between those guys, 0:47:22.800 --> 0:47:25.520 and it wasn't it wasn't stops. It was two hours 0:47:25.560 --> 0:47:28.200 of that. And he said the next day when he 0:47:28.560 --> 0:47:31.279 flew home, he was so beat up. He actually had 0:47:31.280 --> 0:47:33.520 to get some guy to help him put his luggage 0:47:33.560 --> 0:47:36.719 above the seat and the plane. He was so bad. 0:47:36.800 --> 0:47:39.400 But that's how he just does not give up. I 0:47:39.480 --> 0:47:40.120 love that guy. 0:47:40.440 --> 0:47:46.520 So after all of this talking and deliberating going on, Rachel, besides. 0:47:46.160 --> 0:47:48.480 She's going to leave the decision up to CT. How 0:47:48.480 --> 0:47:49.319 do you feel about that? 0:47:50.160 --> 0:47:54.600 That is that is like the smartest move Rachel could 0:47:54.600 --> 0:47:57.799 have done, because it takes all of the blood off 0:47:57.800 --> 0:48:00.439 of her hand. If Anissa ends up going in right, 0:48:00.840 --> 0:48:03.880 it's like, look, Anissa, I'm going to leave this up 0:48:03.920 --> 0:48:07.239 to CT, who is probably definitely putting you in but 0:48:07.280 --> 0:48:09.040 it's not going to come for me, so you can't 0:48:09.040 --> 0:48:10.960 be that mad at me. And it's like, yeah, the 0:48:11.000 --> 0:48:13.520 funny thing is Anissa knew exactly what she was doing 0:48:13.640 --> 0:48:16.440 to kind of put put past the buck because again 0:48:16.600 --> 0:48:19.360 CT has thrown Asa in elimination so many times in 0:48:19.400 --> 0:48:23.360 the past. So it was very smart on Rachel on 0:48:23.440 --> 0:48:26.640 her side. But I think it took a Nissa by 0:48:26.719 --> 0:48:28.879 surprise a little bit. I think she was sour about 0:48:28.920 --> 0:48:29.479 a little bit. 0:48:29.400 --> 0:48:31.719 Because in her confessional we see her hype it up, like, oh, 0:48:31.800 --> 0:48:33.560 yeah we dated, that's my friend. 0:48:34.160 --> 0:48:36.800 Yeah, and it's you did what? 0:48:37.960 --> 0:48:40.960 Yeah, You're like, what's up? But again, if you want 0:48:40.960 --> 0:48:44.080 to like lay straight from the starts, she came in 0:48:44.160 --> 0:48:47.359 a distant force. So she was like, well that one 0:48:47.400 --> 0:48:50.440 on the chopping box and I get it. It just 0:48:50.480 --> 0:48:52.839 so it looks again, they wanted us to do this. 0:48:52.920 --> 0:48:55.480 They want friends to go against friends this first episode. 0:48:55.520 --> 0:48:58.400 You know, they want to see what happens, you know, 0:48:58.520 --> 0:49:01.160 with either friends or with people that have been nemesis 0:49:01.239 --> 0:49:03.280 for a while that haven't squashed it. I'm excited. 0:49:03.680 --> 0:49:04.359 Who do you think? 0:49:04.400 --> 0:49:06.920 Because we were talking about Aviv earlier, right, and like 0:49:07.440 --> 0:49:09.080 and when we had a Viv on last week on 0:49:09.120 --> 0:49:11.719 the podcast and we were talking about in advantage, it 0:49:11.719 --> 0:49:14.000 seems like she may have. It's not only that she is, 0:49:14.200 --> 0:49:17.560 you know, in shape, she's super smart, she's a go getter. 0:49:18.040 --> 0:49:21.000 She was speaking about feeling kind of like the odd 0:49:21.040 --> 0:49:22.480 man out a little because she's like, look, a lot 0:49:22.480 --> 0:49:23.440 of these people know each other. 0:49:23.560 --> 0:49:25.600 I haven't been on in all of these years. 0:49:25.640 --> 0:49:27.440 And Dan I were saying that that could be an 0:49:27.480 --> 0:49:30.920 advantage because you can kind of fly under the radar 0:49:30.960 --> 0:49:34.160 if you play it right in your experience and with 0:49:34.239 --> 0:49:37.640 your expertise. Who do you think currently is in the 0:49:37.680 --> 0:49:40.520 best position for politicking. Is it someone who has a 0:49:40.560 --> 0:49:43.799 lot of friends across multiple eras or do you think 0:49:43.880 --> 0:49:47.480 the lone wolves that haven't played for a while, like 0:49:47.520 --> 0:49:50.320 in Aviv might stand to do better. 0:49:51.320 --> 0:49:55.640 I think I think Aviv what she said in that 0:49:55.680 --> 0:49:58.880 deliberation too got her so far in this game, because 0:49:58.920 --> 0:50:02.000 she said, look, I don't have friendships with you guys, 0:50:02.200 --> 0:50:06.279 but I also don't have any problems with it. But 0:50:06.440 --> 0:50:08.640 I don't have any enemies from the plots. I've never 0:50:08.840 --> 0:50:11.600 I've never done anyone in this room wrong. The only 0:50:11.640 --> 0:50:13.000 thing I can do is show you that I'll be 0:50:13.000 --> 0:50:17.080 a loyal teammate. That that secured her for me if 0:50:17.080 --> 0:50:20.120 I was on that team, for her being on this 0:50:20.120 --> 0:50:22.920 thing a while, because the fact that there are so 0:50:23.000 --> 0:50:27.239 many I mean, the mandatories, the Jodin and Nieces believe 0:50:27.360 --> 0:50:29.080 or not, the Jodyin and Nieces, they're you know, they're 0:50:29.080 --> 0:50:31.719 they're they're not the best of friends. But there's so 0:50:31.760 --> 0:50:34.920 many like guys and girls. So I think of Viv's 0:50:34.920 --> 0:50:38.920 position on her team especially will give her so many 0:50:38.960 --> 0:50:43.120 more positives than negatives. Being that way, I think it's 0:50:43.160 --> 0:50:45.799 gonna work out well for her because again, you know, 0:50:46.000 --> 0:50:49.319 Laurel doesn't have this nasty history with the viv Or 0:50:49.400 --> 0:50:51.879 but but she does with Kara, And if Cara is there, 0:50:52.000 --> 0:50:53.640 there's always going to be someone in front of of 0:50:53.719 --> 0:50:56.480 ev that that would probably take the attention off of her. 0:50:56.560 --> 0:50:59.000 So I think of the you know, Laurel love the 0:50:59.080 --> 0:51:03.160 hit lift ma'am oh, Yeah, she is sitting pretty and 0:51:03.400 --> 0:51:05.440 and Aviv knows how to play it, you know, the 0:51:05.520 --> 0:51:08.759 Viv's in there cooking people's food, getting people this like 0:51:08.800 --> 0:51:10.840 Ifvi's a mom and she's being she was mom and 0:51:10.880 --> 0:51:12.360 out at the beginning of that thing, just being a 0:51:12.360 --> 0:51:14.960 really solid person. So I think she's gonna go far. 0:51:15.480 --> 0:51:16.399 I love that for her. 0:51:16.680 --> 0:51:19.239 Yeah, we saw a lot of deliberating this episode, a 0:51:19.280 --> 0:51:22.920 lot of talking, a lot of negotiating all of the things. 0:51:23.200 --> 0:51:24.560 But we didn't get to see an elimination. 0:51:24.880 --> 0:51:27.879 Okay, and the people you are thirsty, okay, and I'm 0:51:27.920 --> 0:51:29.000 over here, salliate not. 0:51:29.200 --> 0:51:31.480 I need to see something. So what can. 0:51:31.360 --> 0:51:35.000 You give us any any little tea, little tea something. 0:51:35.680 --> 0:51:39.640 I'll give you some tea. This isn't even spoiling anything. 0:51:40.520 --> 0:51:45.560 The first night of eliminations are If you like headbangers, 0:51:46.400 --> 0:51:49.279 you're gonna love the first night of elimination. I think 0:51:49.280 --> 0:51:51.200 they gave az I think they gave the puzzles to 0:51:51.560 --> 0:51:53.839 arrest the first night of elimination. But it that way. 0:51:54.880 --> 0:51:58.600 So you're gonna see some epic battles. You're gonna see 0:51:58.640 --> 0:52:02.160 some major triumphs. You're gonna see some people go home 0:52:02.239 --> 0:52:05.720 that probably never thought they would go home this early. 0:52:05.960 --> 0:52:10.360 But uh, it's an It was a it was a 0:52:10.400 --> 0:52:12.239 hell of a night. Put it that. When you guys 0:52:12.239 --> 0:52:15.080 are in store for a great, great episode of probably 0:52:15.280 --> 0:52:17.399 it's the whole episode is probably gonna be Eliminations there's 0:52:17.440 --> 0:52:21.719 eight eliminations. That's a that's a lot of elimination. So 0:52:21.800 --> 0:52:23.520 I think you guys are for a real treatment. And 0:52:23.560 --> 0:52:25.759 I think uh DJ even enjoyed that night. 0:52:26.280 --> 0:52:28.520 I bet he did. 0:52:29.360 --> 0:52:34.480 Yeah, he just got the easiest job. Man, he's no stress. 0:52:34.960 --> 0:52:36.719 He really got to deal with the bullshit. 0:52:36.920 --> 0:52:40.040 I'm like, j let me just let me host, so, 0:52:40.640 --> 0:52:45.400 let me just do that calm down. 0:52:46.840 --> 0:52:47.040 Job. 0:52:48.160 --> 0:52:50.040 Let me get in with the Double D crew then, 0:52:50.120 --> 0:52:54.600 because I oh my god, this thing, you know, I know, 0:52:54.719 --> 0:52:56.799 probably wrapping up so but this thing. If you're a 0:52:56.800 --> 0:52:59.320 fan of the challenge, I will leave you at this. 0:52:59.320 --> 0:53:03.600 This challenge has so many factors that makes the challenge great, 0:53:03.640 --> 0:53:07.400 from the competition, to the cast, to the show mances, 0:53:07.440 --> 0:53:11.920 to the fight to the just It's such a roller 0:53:11.920 --> 0:53:15.480 coaster ride and I think I think once it's said done, 0:53:15.480 --> 0:53:17.240 you guys are going to think that this is probably 0:53:17.280 --> 0:53:18.880 one of the best. So I'm looking forward to it 0:53:18.880 --> 0:53:19.600 as well. For you guys. 0:53:19.680 --> 0:53:22.720 See, Mark, you are one of the best. 0:53:23.080 --> 0:53:27.120 And before you go, we do have a question for you. 0:53:27.280 --> 0:53:29.200 About the teams and what we don't expect. 0:53:29.400 --> 0:53:31.759 But before we get to that, you know, at the 0:53:31.760 --> 0:53:34.279 top of this interview, you spoke about being in this 0:53:34.360 --> 0:53:36.239 new chapter, in this sort of era of your life. 0:53:36.280 --> 0:53:39.200 You accomplished so much, but you're fully back in the 0:53:39.200 --> 0:53:41.239 game for seeds and forty. You've been here so long, 0:53:41.480 --> 0:53:44.800 started a wrestling career. I hear all the time from 0:53:45.520 --> 0:53:49.799 Challenge fans and viewers who watch this show, who sometimes 0:53:49.840 --> 0:53:53.680 live vicariously through us, or who sometimes take inspiration for 0:53:53.880 --> 0:53:55.880 moments in our life. And I think you were just 0:53:55.920 --> 0:53:59.520 such an inspirational story about never being too old, it 0:53:59.600 --> 0:54:03.000 never being too late, being able to, you know, start again. 0:54:03.120 --> 0:54:06.160 So what little nugget with them can you share to 0:54:06.239 --> 0:54:10.279 anyone listening who maybe is for whatever reason, feels like 0:54:10.280 --> 0:54:11.960 they're past their prime. They could be in their twenties, 0:54:12.080 --> 0:54:13.440 they could be in their thirties, they could be in 0:54:13.480 --> 0:54:16.279 their sixties, whatever, but they feel like oaing. 0:54:15.760 --> 0:54:17.480 I want to do, but I don't know if I can. 0:54:17.600 --> 0:54:19.239 What would you share with them? 0:54:19.760 --> 0:54:21.360 You know what I've you know what I've found that 0:54:21.440 --> 0:54:23.759 I live on and it's and it's really kept me 0:54:23.760 --> 0:54:27.239 in a good place is you have to find a 0:54:27.360 --> 0:54:31.400 place in spot in your life to really put time 0:54:31.640 --> 0:54:34.800 and effort into your passion. And that's across the board. 0:54:34.880 --> 0:54:37.239 So you have a job that you have a job 0:54:37.280 --> 0:54:39.279 because you're just making the money, but you don't rub it. 0:54:39.560 --> 0:54:41.640 You have to make time for your passion because it 0:54:41.680 --> 0:54:44.440 bounces out the bad times with the stuff that you 0:54:44.520 --> 0:54:48.200 really care about and look forward to. And the fact 0:54:48.280 --> 0:54:51.480 that all stars with such a blessing and I never 0:54:51.560 --> 0:54:54.920 gave up on a vision and then I'm getting rewarded 0:54:54.960 --> 0:54:57.080 from it and now a comfort full circle of Season 0:54:57.120 --> 0:55:01.640 forty that MTV and doing stuff like this and being 0:55:01.680 --> 0:55:05.600 a part of the reality community has always been. It's 0:55:05.640 --> 0:55:08.200 always been such a special place in my heart and 0:55:07.960 --> 0:55:11.640 it fills a void that nothing else fills. So if 0:55:11.680 --> 0:55:13.600 you guys are going down I feel like you're too 0:55:13.640 --> 0:55:15.640 late for this, or I can't get in shape, or 0:55:15.680 --> 0:55:18.080 I couldn't do this, or I can't go back and 0:55:18.120 --> 0:55:20.640 try to do this career or whatever. As long as 0:55:20.680 --> 0:55:24.360 you find space in your day to occupy and feel 0:55:24.400 --> 0:55:27.640 that that that passion void, you're gonna be just fine 0:55:27.920 --> 0:55:30.800 and you'll be a better person for it. You'll be 0:55:30.840 --> 0:55:33.000 in a better mind frame for it, and you can 0:55:33.000 --> 0:55:35.839 go to bed wrestling easy knowing that at least you 0:55:35.880 --> 0:55:38.680 are still following your dreams to some capacity. The people 0:55:38.719 --> 0:55:40.759 that totally give up other people I feel sorry for 0:55:40.840 --> 0:55:42.880 because it's like you only get one ride on this 0:55:42.960 --> 0:55:46.000 roller coaster in life, So you should make yourself time 0:55:46.120 --> 0:55:49.080 for these, these these moments, to really follow what you're 0:55:49.120 --> 0:55:52.680 passionate about, and you know, just give it your all. 0:55:52.760 --> 0:55:55.440 And that's that's about it. And I just I'm consistent 0:55:55.520 --> 0:55:58.759 with everything. I'm responsible, and I treat people well, and 0:55:58.760 --> 0:56:01.160 I think if you do that, you're gonna get rewarded always. 0:56:01.520 --> 0:56:07.279 Oh, Mark, we love you, Marky Mark. Now the people, well, 0:56:07.320 --> 0:56:09.200 they love you when you do this next thing. 0:56:09.200 --> 0:56:11.279 So we want you to give out high school superlatins 0:56:11.280 --> 0:56:14.720 for each era, so you know, like most likely to blank, 0:56:14.920 --> 0:56:18.000 most likely to blank for each Era four? 0:56:18.239 --> 0:56:23.360 Okay, why would you go all out? Yes, let's start 0:56:23.480 --> 0:56:26.160 with Era four. Let's go backwards. Let's start with Air four. 0:56:26.360 --> 0:56:31.279 Era four is Era four. This is my superlative for that. 0:56:32.120 --> 0:56:41.080 Era four is most likely too probably have a internal 0:56:41.160 --> 0:56:46.879 team combustion. I feel might combust on each other at 0:56:46.880 --> 0:56:51.319 some point. Well, we'll look out for that. If there 0:56:51.360 --> 0:56:53.440 are three who's my Air three people who are there? 0:56:53.560 --> 0:56:59.080 Let's let's who are they? Jordan's three are the most 0:56:59.160 --> 0:57:02.480 likely to succeed. That would be my thing because because 0:57:02.520 --> 0:57:06.880 there's so many great players newer players on there, and 0:57:06.920 --> 0:57:09.719 they're all so well rounded, so that I'd probably give 0:57:09.760 --> 0:57:16.360 them the most the ability to see yep, Ra two 0:57:17.480 --> 0:57:22.960 is going to be a ship show. Just you know, 0:57:23.840 --> 0:57:27.480 Rat two is the most likely to get in a 0:57:27.560 --> 0:57:32.080 fight after hugging ten minutes before the fight. That's gonna 0:57:32.120 --> 0:57:35.600 be my superer for them. It's that, you know, it's 0:57:35.640 --> 0:57:38.800 they get the Messy award. That's what I'm gonna gives award. 0:57:40.040 --> 0:57:43.080 And Era one is I don't even know if it's purlative, 0:57:43.120 --> 0:57:46.120 but whatever. You know, we might not win you over 0:57:47.440 --> 0:57:52.520 with our physicality at this stage, but we are damn 0:57:52.520 --> 0:57:54.160 sure we're gonna win you over with the spawn of 0:57:54.200 --> 0:57:56.920 our group. I will tell you that it was the 0:57:56.960 --> 0:57:59.680 most fun. You know, we're the most like, we're the 0:57:59.720 --> 0:58:03.960 class clowns. I think, okay, and I think I said 0:58:03.960 --> 0:58:06.680 this at the beginning on day one. We're this is 0:58:06.680 --> 0:58:10.240 gonna this doesn't get in anything away. We're either gonna 0:58:10.320 --> 0:58:13.400 shine and be the fucking cream of the crop in 0:58:13.400 --> 0:58:16.920 this house or our team will be the bad news bears. 0:58:16.960 --> 0:58:22.320 And there's no gray area. We're gonna be either the 0:58:22.360 --> 0:58:26.880 best or We're the bad news Bears. That's it, and 0:58:26.920 --> 0:58:29.600 we all like it. So that's that's my prediction. But 0:58:29.640 --> 0:58:32.320 it's it's a fun season, guys. You're gonna enjoy it. 0:58:32.440 --> 0:58:35.560 And hopefully I will say this, I got a little 0:58:35.600 --> 0:58:38.960 taste of the franchise. And you know, however, let's say 0:58:38.960 --> 0:58:40.959 I win the figure don't win, to think I want 0:58:40.960 --> 0:58:44.480 to go back in and I got a little taste 0:58:44.560 --> 0:58:48.520 of how it is, and I want another shot at 0:58:48.520 --> 0:58:52.480 the franchise. I think, just just for we'll see what 0:58:52.520 --> 0:58:57.760 happens there while I'm still healthy. Guys, well I'm still healthy. 0:58:59.840 --> 0:59:00.640 I love you, guys. 0:59:01.040 --> 0:59:03.840 Mark tell the people, well, you know what I was 0:59:03.920 --> 0:59:05.880 about to get you to Pluggins Socials. But I would 0:59:05.880 --> 0:59:08.680 not be Davine if I did not say this, because 0:59:08.680 --> 0:59:10.520 I tend to speak for the people sometime. 0:59:10.640 --> 0:59:13.880 Okay, as mister. 0:59:13.720 --> 0:59:17.520 Wee won O gez, we the people need you to 0:59:17.640 --> 0:59:22.520 get Coral. Oh yes, we the people need you to 0:59:22.640 --> 0:59:24.000 get Corals. 0:59:24.680 --> 0:59:28.120 This is a great ender. I've been talking with Kral 0:59:28.200 --> 0:59:32.560 for a while and and this is my thought process 0:59:32.640 --> 0:59:35.240 with Coral, and I don't blame her for it. You know, 0:59:35.440 --> 0:59:39.840 Coral left on such a level of weanness. I mean, 0:59:39.880 --> 0:59:42.200 she was up there, she was she was the Pample. 0:59:43.160 --> 0:59:47.680 I almost feel like in her mind she doesn't want 0:59:47.720 --> 0:59:49.960 to come back and not be able to live up 0:59:49.960 --> 0:59:52.720 to those expectations of how she left the show. And 0:59:52.760 --> 0:59:56.560 I completely that.
