Yeah. Come on. Yeah, it probably is.

Daniel Coulbourne 1:07

Um uh we had a little technique uh uh we had like multiple technical issues with last week's episode. Oh yeah. Um and then also had like whole sections I had to cut out and then I I was like halfway through the d uh reconciling the uh technical issues uh and the things we can't talk about. And I And then I just didn't publish it.

John Drexler 1:32

I think that's fine. I think it's fine. You know, we find ourselves in the unenviable position of uh we have lots of stuff to talk about that we can't talk about.

Daniel Coulbourne 1:41

So many things that we can't talk about.

John Drexler 1:42

It's like an insane yeah.

Daniel Coulbourne 1:45

There's there's like a there's a series of like five episodes that are coming up that are gonna be s so good. They're gonna be the best episodes in the history of the company.

John Drexler 1:57

Yeah. And yet we can say nothing as of now.

Daniel Coulbourne 2:01

We can't even hint at what it's about.

John Drexler 2:03

Yeah. We're building in public and private right now. Yeah. Or building in private and public.

Daniel Coulbourne 2:12

Yeah. One of the two. I mean you have to build in private before you build in public. Um But uh but if you don't you know, I talk uh I w gosh. No, I was just about to launch into a top another one of the one of the one of the one of the fabled uh topics. Have we talked about Survivor? Can we?

John Drexler 2:33

You know, it's all spoilers. It's all spoilers. Here's what I'll say about Survivor. Yeah. It was a pretty good season.

Daniel Coulbourne 2:40

Yeah, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it a lot. Yeah. Reunion seasons, it's hard to miss. You know, you just you just get a really good cast out there, it's gonna go well.

John Drexler 2:48

In beloved characters. Yeah.

Daniel Coulbourne 2:50

My here's my new Here's my new thing about Survivor that's different than what I used to think.

Matt Chandler 2:57

Hmm.

Daniel Coulbourne 2:58

Um yeah I I'm uh I maybe I'm only interested in like the opinions that have changed over time, you know. I'm like I have a lot of the same opinions that I've always had, but here's one that's different.

John Drexler 3:06

Johnny Delta's over here.

Daniel Coulbourne 3:10

I think they call him Johnny Fairplay. Um the uh okay, so I used to always think like when I first got into Survivor, the very first season that I ever watched, I was like, uh I watched the whole thing and I was like, oh my gosh, this is the gameplay is like so interesting. Everything's like I'm so completely absorbed in this thing. It's a game like I've never seen before. You know, it just it blew my mind in all the ways that it blows everyone's mind. Mm-hmm. And then towards the end of the season they start voting out everyone who they think is a threat. And I always find that to be a little bit deflating. And then you get towards the end where they're really doing like jury management. And they're like, I wanna I wanna vote people out in a way where they'll still like me and I wanna bring only like weak people with me to Final Tribal, because that's how you win.

Daniel Coulbourne 4:04

And then you and it starts to feel weird and the game takes on a very, very different tone. And then you get to the final jury and you go, well that's weird. They just decide who wins kind of based on vibes. And that to me feels like a very deflating and uninteresting it's like it's been this cutthroat game up to this point. But now it now we get here and it's Yeah. like, well this is ha this feels like it's almost like a um feels like a like a a a soccer shootout where you're like, Yeah, this is sort of like soccer, but it's not really soccer. This is actually a different thing.

John Drexler 4:41

To add like a another twist, like every once in a while, like they have to make fire. And it's like someone who's like in like either third or fourth place goes home based on like how good they are at making a fire.
