Woo! I'm excited for the week. I am excited because It Ends With Us comes out this weekend, and I have plans with my friend Saturday night to go see it. Super pumped up. Blake Lively's been on a big press tour for it. She also released her new Hair Caroline as well. She did. A lot going on. They're booked and busy, those two. They really are. And I saw something that said, like, It Ends With Us can dethrone Deadpool. Right. Yeah.
Which would be... I think, like, Ryan would be, like, respect. Yeah, that would be awesome. I'm really excited, though. Yeah. My friends and I have had this plan for, like, literally since they announced when the movie was coming out. Yeah. And so I'm pumped. Little beach day, movie at night. You know, the typical... Your favorite. My favorite summer activity that I only did once this summer I will be doing on Saturday. But I'm pumped for it ends with us. Just because, like, literally all the parties that have been going on for it, all the press...
A lot, a lot to live up to. So can't wait for that. But how was your weekend? I'm excited as well. My weekend was lovely. Just a refresh. Out at the beach. A lot of Joe's family was out. So a lot of kid time, a lot of fun, a lot of beach, ocean. It's hot.
It's been real hot. Mm-hmm. We had these beautiful thunderstorms. Yeah. And great rainbows. Oh, my God. I saw a couple rainbows this weekend that were beautiful. Some incredible rainbows. And then you're like, oh, God, the thunderstorms, it's going to break the heat, you know? Mm-hmm. Hasn't. No, it doesn't. Still hot. It doesn't break the heat. Still humid. Yeah. We're still riding through it. Yeah.
But it was super nice. Nice weekend. Very relaxing. Yep. Yep. I don't have a single...
It was very chill. Oh, that's beautiful. And it was nice. It was such a nice excuse because it would like rain. It was so nice during the day and then we could go to the beach. And then it was kind of, you know, five, six, seven. We started a couple thunderstorms. Perfect time. Which is the best because it's the best excuse to not have to do anything at night. Right. Like I'm like, oh, we can't go out. We can't go to dinner. We gotta stay in. We gotta stay home. Cozy. Exactly. Exactly.
Good Olympics coverage. There was great Olympics all weekend. Locked into a lot of events. We're getting into the track and field stuff now because swimming's coming to an end. Um...
Big story this weekend. Did you see the French guy who's... The news have described it in many different ways. Package, bulge. His pole. His pole that took down the pole. He got in the way. His own pole got in the way of the poles. The bulge affected his...
Now, I imagine if I'm him... That's gotta hurt, though, real bad. First of all, that's the first thing. It's like, wowzers. Ouchie mama! That's gotta hurt. And on top of that, do you feel embarrassed or do you feel...
Like, you know what? Worse things could happen. Right. You know what I mean? Like, he could have just fallen off the pole. Right, nobody would be talking about him. And it would be like, oh man, he fell, whatever. But now it's like, he fell because his dick got in the way. Yeah. And that's kind of like...
It's a good spin. No, it's like if there's going to be... If anything's going to get in the way, let it be your day. If you're going to lose, you're also going to kind of win. Right. You're going to lose big. We were talking about it in our family group chat. My brother just goes, I do not feel bad for him. Yeah.
Yeah, I don't, I think a lot of people don't really feel bad. Yeah, it was like, I mean, granted, like we've been talking about, the headlines when it comes to the Olympics are so crazy because especially the swimmers, the divers, like they're in these tiny little bathing suits. They are being objectified left and right. These headlines like so-and-so's bulge, so-and-so's package. Yeah, it's kind of wild. So-and-so, it's crazy. I feel like- It's crazy, but like- It shouldn't be happening. This is-
This is what is, it is still a headline, one of the top headlines on e right now still, eonline.com. And now, of course, my phone's decided to not load a single thing. Here it comes.
You know what's still crazy is that this Wi-Fi in this office just does not work on my phone. Like, I have to turn the Wi-Fi off. I don't use the Wi-Fi. Yeah. Like, I have to turn my Wi-Fi off to be like, do not connect because it's slow every time. And now I'm just stalling. Okay. Oh, wait. Here we go. Paul Valter Anthony Amirati's manhood knocks him out of the Olympics.
And that it sure did. That's the nicest one. That is a nice. That's probably the most polite one. Do you think he's embarrassed at all though? Like now everyone's talking about it, you know, like, I don't know. I think you just kind of have to embrace it because it's,
It's like the surfer whose cheeks, he mooned all of us, you know? And he just kind of, he laughed about it on TikTok. It was like, oh. There's a little bit difference between cheeks and... Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, balls. Yeah. It was still covered, though. Yeah, right. It wasn't fully exposed. It got stuck. But it got, you know, it got stuck. I'm curious. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more, to be honest, the way pole vaulting as a sport happens. And I'm just kind of confused, like...
You know, like, he didn't want to, like, tuck that in a little bit more before he got up there. I know. We started discussing if they maybe should be wearing cups. But then his cups, does cups impede you? Like, then it's really, you know. Right. Because if a cup is a hard shell and if that hits the pole, it's really knocking over. Yeah. There's so many questions I have. Yeah. So they probably want to go all natural, but...
You know, sometimes if you're just a little too well endowed for the pole. Yeah. That's why he's, that's why poles are his Olympic sport. Exactly. You know, it all goes together. That was a big story. The women's gymnastics, it just never gets old. No. Like I can't comprehend in my brain how they do the things they do.
How? How? How? Like, genuinely, just how? Like, I can't comprehend it. It's crazy, especially the floor stuff. I left right as the floor competition was ending, and it looked like Simone had just won silver and that Jordan wasn't going to medal. But gymnastics, it felt like a...
As far as judges, like the scoring goes, my only reference is Stick It, which is a fictional movie. You know? When they're like, her bra strap is showing. That's a deduction. And they're like, oh, that, you know, it's the antiquated whiz. I don't really know how it fully works. But it seemed that they either challenged the score or reviewed the score because they said...
Jordan's difficulty level wasn't as high as it should be, which is a totally subjective thing. I really sometimes I mess up subjective and objective. Subjective thing like your difficulty score is your difficulty score because it's like the routine you're running no matter what. The execution score can change, of course. So I guess that one wasn't high enough. So they had to change that. And when they did that.
It pushed her up. So she actually got bronze, which was awesome. So all the videos of her finding out like she actually got bronze because she thought she was in fifth.
Yeah, the scoring really confuses me. Yeah. But I just go based off their reactions, whether they're happy or not. Right, right. I'm like, okay, good score. Good score. Ooh, bad score. And NBC gives us those little, you know, like this traffic light. It's like if it's in the green, it's good. Yellow, it's, you know, it's okay. Red, you're like, ooh, red's not good. Red's below. Red's not good. There was something up with the beam this weekend, huh? Yeah.
Yeah, the beam. People were like, we need to inspect this beam. Yeah. Both of them had falls. Yeah. So no one meddled in beam. But I did love that our guy Steve, he got that bronze for Pummel Horse, you know, in the men's gymnastics. Yeah. He's got one job.
And it's that horse. And he executes it. And he crushes it every time. He crushes it every time. Did you see the videos of him doing the Rubik's Cube? Yeah. It's so hard to just not think it's Robbie Fox. I know. Like now when I look at him, I just like,
Oh, it's just Robbie. Yeah. It's just Robbie up there. They got to do something together. I don't know what. Yeah. That would be amazing. They have got to do something. But no, it's been so great. And I've also loved following Alona's journey. She has like 3 million Instagram followers now. And everything she's been posting has been so good. I was cracking up. Yeah, she's so funny. She posted a video with Tom Brady that was like, oh my God, Tom Brady asked me for a selfie. She's like, just kidding. I asked.
him yeah i saw that totally totally i wouldn't be surprised if he was asking her for a selfie no 100 100 she's an absolute star she's an absolute star so no and now the track and field stuff is happening which is so crazy to me because that's where the timing is even like thousandth of a second like noel is one that raced by a five one thousandths
Yeah, do you know that Noah last weekend thought that the guy's name was Noah Lives? My mom texted me that. He was like, do you guys know there's a guy, Noah Lives? And we were like, no, it's Noah Lives. My mom texted me, there's a guy named Noah Lives. And I'm like, hey guys, there's a guy named Noah Lives. He was like, do you guys see that there's an Olympian, Noah Lives? And we were like, nope, not quite. And then I didn't realize it's the guy that...
A lot of people don't like. Like, I remembered him from the NBA thing he said. Yeah, no, he's a... He's unlikable. So, yeah, I mean, look, he is a cocky guy, for sure. Yeah. And he rubs people the wrong way, 100%. And it's tough because... Yeah, I found myself, like, rooting against him all the time. It's tough because he did win the race. So it's like, he...
It backs up like he can only just be more cocky because he's winning. But did you see when he came in second in the other race where he was like, I miscalculated like my opponents like it won't happen again. No, I saw everything he said afterwards. He was like, I yeah, no. Yeah.
He was like, I promise you, America, this won't happen. You won't. This won't happen again. But it's kind of like, you know, if you're if you're that good. Guys, think about it. Like, I was thinking about it like this, too. Like, and this is such a bad comparison, but it made me giggle to myself when I was like, think about the kid, right?
that you grew up with, that you went to school with, elementary school, like whatever, the kid that was like, yo, you want to race? Like, I'm so fast. Like, those were always the cockiest kids. The cockiest kids were the ones that were like, I'm so, want to race? Like, I'll beat you. Like, I'll beat you. Their whole personality was just being fast. Like, being fast. Like, that's what, like, this kid, his whole life, fast. Like,
I mean, once you get dubbed fastest man alive, like that's... And then he's made it to the Olympics from being fast. So it's like, you know what? He's a cocky, fast guy. And like when you're in fourth grade and like that person comes up to you and they're like, I can beat you in a race. And you just...
And you stomp all over them. Like, somebody thinks they can beat you and then you're still faster. Yeah. He's been fast his whole life. He's always... And what's he supposed to do about that? He's been doing that his entire life. He's just fast. Beating people. By being fast. By being fast. Yeah. So, it's clearly gone to his head. Clearly. But, yeah. Yep. Listen, I think, you know what? If you... If you're in the Olympics...
brag away yeah you know what i mean i love how much simone biles is like yeah i won you know what i mean like i'm like yes simone biles like deserves every single right an opportunity to be like yes i fucking won yeah i'm like i'm the best because she is like it's genuinely mesmerizing and amazing like i can't put it into words i know i can't put it into words
Simone, how do you have so much talent in such small body? Yeah. You know? I know. It's incredible. I was under the impression that she was like five feet tall. She's 4'8". She's 4'8". That's so small. She's so small and she's just doing the most amazing things ever. I know. She gets so high up in the air. It's just, it is truly incredible. Can someone explain to me...
why everyone hates Simone Biles' husband if she doesn't hate her husband. You know what I mean? Like, she... Her and her husband... Like, she loves her husband. It's just what he said rubbed everybody the wrong way and they just don't forget it. What did he say? In an interview... Because, like, I feel like I vaguely remember, but I don't fully remember. In an interview, I think he basically, like... I could be butchering this, but I believe it was like, oh, my God, you know, how lucky are you to be...
Married to Simone Biles. And he was like, how lucky is she? How lucky am I? How lucky is she to be married to me? Okay. And everyone was like, okay, dude, that nobody knows. You know what? Yeah, I'm on board. Let's check yourself. Right. I'm on board with like...
And then it was like, yeah. Like, and then Simone was like, guys, this isn't like a big deal. Like, I am lucky to be married to him. I love him. You know, like she was like supporting him. But then everyone was like, okay, like you're not, you're not getting like Simone, give her flowers, you know, like it's Simone Biles. Yeah, I totally get that. Okay. That makes so much more sense because I, and he's like backtracked it, whatever, but because that's why people just call him Simone Biles husband. People just call him Mr. Biles. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, right now he is simply Simone Biles' husband. Like, that is it. It's incredible. So yeah, it was like, yeah, exactly. But they are, I mean... People were giving her flack. It was nice that he was able to go, you know? Because he is in training camp. But people were giving her flack for him wearing her medal. And she wrote back like, I let my entire family wear my medal. Yeah. It's like...
It is her husband. Like I think that's, you know, she's still married to him. That's her husband. No matter what the public thinks about him, that is still her husband. Yeah. And she was like, I'm going, my whole family, like, like they're all wearing it. Like, um, yeah, but I'm, I'm loving their tech talks. The, the gymnastics, um, girls, when they post their tech talks, I'm like, it's on point every time. They're just like, we keep winning. They're so cute. And you know what? You know what? I was also thinking while I was watching, um,
There is probably one of like the top rate, like tattoos that you can get just as a human is the Olympic rings because you're an Olympian, you know, like there's so many Olympians that have the Olympic rings. I see it a lot on swimmers. Granted, you know that you can see it like more on swimmers are in their bathing suits. And but when I see that, I'm like, damn.
that's got to be one of the coolest tattoos you can get because it's like yeah i'm an olympian see those rings right you could also get it as a non-olympian too yeah you could but you'd be a fraud no you'd absolutely be a fraud but you could tell you can convince people yeah but that's you know but then you have to look yourself in the mirror and be like i'm a you're stolen valor you're that's right you know you're fake olympian yeah
But when you get to your Olympics and you're like, I'm getting the rings tattoo. Yeah. I'm doing it. Yeah, I would. I would if I was an Olympian. Yeah. Oh my God. 100%. That would be the first thing. What would you be like an Olympian at? I was thinking about this. The only, you know, people like to sit, like people like to pick on the sports where they think they're like, oh, okay.
Table tennis. They like to pick on the ones that they think aren't real sports, which I think is ridiculous because it is an Olympic sport, you know? But the only... Speed walking. Speed walking. Let me tell you something. I don't think my hips could deal with the speed walking. You see those hips? Ow. Oh, my God. Because I'm like, some of them are... I think equestrian, which is still impossible for me. Like, I'm not that good of a horseback rider. I never really was. But it's the only thing that I ever actually did, you know? Mm-hmm.
That would be my pick. What were you saying about speed walking? I'm just like, sometimes it looks like they're like almost running. I'm like, how do they like, I think maybe you have to like keep one foot on the ground. Where's the line between running and speed walking? I'm like, you're running or you're jogging. Where's the line between jogging and speed walking? Or at least I like heard this at some point, like one of your feet has to be on the ground. Like if you're running, like,
I don't know. Huh. That would make sense. What would yours be? I have no fucking idea. I got no clue. Trampoline? Oh my God. Back in the day. Trampoline looks sick. Trampoline looks sick. Breaking? Yeah. Yeah. Probably. Breakdancing? Yeah. Find me breakdancing as an Olympian. I'm on my head doing twists and turns. I don't know. That's tough.
I could have never made it as a gymnast. I was too afraid because we did gymnastics. When I was a cheerleader, we had to go to tumbling every week.
the furthest I got was a back handspring yeah once they started going okay it's flip time I said count me out yeah you're not gonna catch me doing any standing flips like I've seen girls fucking fall and look like they broke their neck and they turned out to be fine but still it's terrible like I was like I'm I'm okay I don't want to be put in that position I'm good with just walking around yeah I don't need this under my belt
So I would have never made it, you know, even further than a backhand spring in my life. Did you guys watch the tennis final? I did watch the tennis. The tennis was great. I feel like I've never seen Novak that emotional. It was really, I mean, it's an Olympic medal. It's a big thing. He's the only fifth person to ever win the Olympics and all the major. And all the Grand Slams, which is really... I was rooting for Carlos, but...
Yeah, I mean, we're big Carlos fans in our house. And Scotty winning gold was also awesome. Love that for him. I love the people that have been, like the tweets of everything Scotty Scheffler has done this year. And it's all amazing. And then the last two, it was like jail and then just gold. It was like jail, gold. Quite the year. Yeah. I mean, that's just, oh God, it's just, what a cool, just so cool. Were you guys ever on a swim team? No. No.
Like summer. You were like competing? No, no, no, no. I was. And when I was a lot younger. I was not that type of swimmer. I did one meet and it was a nightmare. It was not a long-lasting swimming career for myself. I can't even picture you with a goggles on. What was your stroke?
I don't even remember as far as that. The only vision I have, I was really young. I want to say I was, I don't remember exactly, but I want to say it was like third or fourth grade. But I remember looking up.
Like, as I'm doing it. And no one was around me. No one was near you. You're like, ah, shit. No, like, everyone had finished. And I was, like, still trying to go. And that was the... So Ricky Bobby, like, were those the other cards? Yeah. Like, and, like, I thought I was almost ahead of everybody. But I was in last. Yeah. You know, like, no one was around. I was like, oh, I'm fucking smoking them. Nope. Nope.
Oh, gosh. Yeah, I know. First and last meet I ever did. Yeah. I hated it. I hated it. I also hated swim practice. Like, I wanted no part of... I hated the locker room of swim practice. It really grossed me out. Everybody... It smells like chlorine. Not a swim team gal. Didn't make it far. I tried out a lot of sports in my day. Swim team, basketball. I also didn't like basketball because...
They would call it like the bear, you know, like when you block people, it'd be like, you'd be like a bear, be like a bear. And I just like, I didn't want to be like a bear. Like I didn't see, I was a really small child. Yeah. And you were just not trying to play defense like that. No, I wasn't. Like if you saw pictures of me as like, as I was very small. So bear wasn't in style for me. So it was, it was basketball, swim, softball. Actually, I did enjoy softball. I played softball for like four,
five years yeah so softball was up there and then cheerleading was the top one I'm trying to think if I did anything else I never did volleyball my sister did volleyball she was really good I didn't even want to touch that because I was like my sister's really good at volleyball it hurt my wrists anytime I played in gym class wasn't for me I actually feel the same way volleyball it hurts your wrist I don't know yeah do you know Matt was like an
He played baseball in high school and college, but do you know that he was an all-star volleyball player? That totally checks out. I didn't know how to receive that. I was like, what? You were a baseball player? What do you mean you played volleyball? Don't tell anyone that. We gotta bring him to the beach. He's like, you have no idea how fucking good I am at volleyball. I've seen him. We've played on the beach when we went...
for his friend's wedding was a destination wedding and we played on the beach and he was great as far as i can remember it was just beach volleyball no he's like he was offered to play like in like volleyball in college but he obviously chose the baseball baseball
Don't knock volleyball. No, I'm not knocking volleyball. I'm saying what he chose. He chose, I think if you're a guy in high school who's, you got two choices to go to college for volleyball or college for baseball, you're probably choosing baseball. Yeah. Yeah.
If you've played baseball your whole life, because he played baseball his whole life, volleyball is just something he just picked up. That was a fun... He just picked up in high school that apparently he was amazing at. Wait until I tell Joe. He's going to bring him down to the beach. Oh, my God. Let's put him on the court. Oh, my God. Put him on the... Let's test this so-called volleyball ability that he's always talking... The beach volleyball is so fun. I love watching the girl. I'm rooting so hard for these American girls. We were watching the volleyball and he...
He was like, can you believe I used to be that? And I was like,
No, I can't. To be completely honest, I can picture it. Like when I watch the men's beach volleyball, I mean, it's obviously different. Like beach volleyball, indoor volleyball, two different sports. And I'm just picturing him, and obviously he wasn't playing beach volleyball, but I can picture him like in the top and the shorts and like the blue, like the sunglasses and the hat. Yeah, the whole thing, playing volleyball. Yeah.
He's a very tall man. He's very tall. So it makes sense that he would be good at volleyball. Yes. And maybe if he went to college for volleyball, he could have been an Olympian volleyball player.
But baseball is a lot harder to break into, you know? It's a lot harder. I think, right? It's got to be a lot harder. I'm not sure it's hard to make the Olympic volleyball team. No, completely. 100%. Obviously, it's very hard to make a fucking volleyball team. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes when I'm talking, I think you guys think I'm being so serious. Then I have to say I'm joking when it ruins everything. We are not. But yeah, I'm trying to think of other sports that I did as a child.
I think it was just the big four. Swimming, swimming, basketball, softball and cheerleading. No, I didn't do soccer. I wanted to for like a very short amount of time. I asked my mom if I could play soccer because one of my sister's friends played soccer and I thought it was cool. And she was like, absolutely not. Like you don't you're not playing. Let's be real. Like it was kind of like a.
We know you're not going to be good at soccer. I hated soccer. I'm not. I wasn't very like a great, like I couldn't even play basketball. What makes people think I was gonna be good at soccer? Like a lot of running. Like I don't run well. Like they knew that I'm just not a good runner. So that was out of the question. I also wanted to. The running aspect. No, I'm a really, really bad runner. And my family knew that. I don't think they wanted me to be embarrassed. Yeah. I also begged to play an instrument.
that was a no wait no like they told you no yeah my parents were like no you're not playing why and you would think you would think child comes home wants to play an instrument absolutely yes no they were like you're not playing what was their reasoning i don't remember what instrument you want to play i think well because my friend played um
She started playing the trumpet or the saxophone, one of those. Yeah. The saxophone. And it was sick. She had the case and everything. And I was like, that's fucking sick. Like, mom, I want to play. I want to play an instrument. You just wanted it for, like, the accessory. Right. And I think my mom knew that I really just wanted things for the accessories and, like, to be like, I have a saxophone case. Right, right, right. I carry around my saxophone, but, like...
I wasn't going to excel at saxophone. Let's remember at the same time, I'm going acting classes every week. I'm go sees auditions. I had other things up my... Yeah, but you would think...
that a musical element would only help you in those departments. Right, putting it on the resume. Because it's like, oh, also guys, listen up, she also crushes the flute. She's an amazing saxophone player. Yeah, the things that were listed on my resume of activity and skill...
fucking everything. I had bike biking on there. You would have thought I was fucking DMX. Yeah. Right? That's what it's called? BMX? BMX. BMX.
you're the rapper dmx is a rapper right yeah yeah i meant bmx you you would have thought i was a bmx rider i had biking on there like the things we were coming up with to add yeah if only they would have let me play the saxophone player on there yeah that would have padded that resume for sure once you start dabbling in into the instruments yeah i was stifled yeah
I mean, I also tried them all as well. So I went through it all. Soccer, field hockey, softball, basketball, horseback riding, swimming. No, that's I think that's I never did lacrosse. Never did anything stick. Basketball. I played in high school. I didn't know that. Yeah. What do you mean you didn't know that? Yes, you did. I feel like I didn't know that. I feel like I didn't know that.
Yeah, right? I feel like we didn't know this. Maybe you mentioned it, but I'm finding it hard to picture in my head. I played basketball in high school, yeah. We were not good, but
I mean, let's remember I went to all girls Catholic school. There was 50 girls in a grade. Yes. Everyone played basketball. You actually had to play basketball. They were like, we need players. We need you. Please sign up. Actually, no, because my high school is one of the best field hockey and lacrosse programs, honestly, in the country. But...
We just, those were sports I just did not excel at. So basketball and I was horseback riding until I was like 16. But then I stopped. I've never rode a horse in my life. Yes. Yeah. And that's...
Those were the big ones. We were a basketball family. My parents both played. Really? Yeah. My mom was a three-sport athlete in high school. I mean, come on. You don't see that far. No, I definitely do. Yeah. I think swimming. Tall, too. Swimming, basketball, and tennis, maybe. Oh, tennis. That would be a fun one. Yeah. My dad could dunk.
When he was in his heyday. How tall is he? Like six feet. If he's only six feet, that's pretty impressive. Yeah, it was impressive. Damn. People talked about it. Is that what got your mom hooked? There's a great photo of him jumping up for a jump ball. He could get high. He can't anymore? No. Doesn't have it still? Nope. I think he would pull something if he tried doing that now. But, I mean, he's also in his 60s, so that would –
So that would check out. That would check out. But, yes. If he was still dunking, it would be like, let's get this guy in the Olympics. No, no, no. But they were both very athletic. And then we just...
My mom just says none of us really applied ourselves to a sport. We never really gave it our all. I know they say that with instruments and stuff, but that it skips a generation. So if your parents are really good at it... Oh, totally. I say that all the time. Your kids will be really good at it. It bothers my mom all the time. I always say that. I'm like, well, mom, it skips a generation. You and dad were so athletic. I actually don't agree with that because... But my brother was very athletic. My sister and brother were both very athletic. My sister played every sport possible and then...
In high school, I think she just played, she just did cheerleading and softball. Or I don't really remember, but I just know that she's very athletic. And then my brother played baseball and my dad was really good at baseball. Not quite sure what my mom was up to. My mom was like smoking in the bathroom in high school. Yeah, exactly. Looking at the baseball players. Yeah. Like she wasn't really focused on like excelling at a sport. Yeah. No, looking at the...
Yeah I mean Gia's still playing basketball Yeah Gia played basketball in high school That was her sport Big big ballers Basketball family over there She's pretty tall Gia is very tall Basketball family So maybe me mom and Gia Would be the 3v3 team Yeah Which has not gone well for the Americans in this Olympics But I feel like no one like
Like, we're not putting our, like, NBA – you know, like, we're not putting our best. No, they're not playing – they're not. Well, they're – There are some, like, former NBA – The women's team is WNBA players. I think – isn't Jimmer for that? Or, like, there's some – Yeah, yeah, yeah. They lost. They lost already. That's it. I think it's over for them. Imagine if you had, like, LeBron on a 3v3. No, yeah, no, that – yeah, that would be insane. That would be absolutely insane. So, yeah. Yeah.
Safe to say none of us are making it to the Olympics. No, no, no. If we were to get the tattoos, we would be frauds. Huge, huge frauds. All right, let's get into...
The rest of the show. Let's get into some topics. Charli XCX released a new song with Billie Eilish. She also had a big birthday party. A lot of people attended that. Seemed like a lot of fun. Star studded. Zac Efron swimming incident in Ibiza. And it doesn't... It's weird. It's a strange situation. I'm not really sure what happened. All around sus. Very. Like, glad he's okay, but like, what the fuck? Yeah, I don't know what happened there. And then Rob from Love Island was in Nessa's music video, which...
which people were talking about. And we also have an interview with Johnny Bananas for all those challenge fans with the new challenge season coming up and weekly watch report. So let's get into the topics.

So Charlie XCX had a big birthday party this weekend. Also a big weekend in general. She released the guest remix with Billie Eilish. Great. Everybody's loving it. Obviously so catchy. And anytime Billie Eilish jumps on a song, it's going to be fantastic. I have a question. Yeah. Is this like a made up beef between Taylor Swift and Charlie XCX and Billie Eilish that the internet has made up? Yes. Yes.
Well, here's the thing. And I hate to go right into this, but there's been conversation because it seems like any time Charlie XCX or Billie Eilish puts out music, Taylor then puts out
Like an extended version of her album or a new release of her song. She's put out like 34 variations apparently. Yeah, and I think people are just like... So it's not just them, it's literally everybody. It was more like a big conversation that I saw online for a while where it was like any...
new artist she wanted to stay number one so like she'd drop another version on the same day that someone else was dropping i'm not it's yeah i'm saying it's for literally everybody it seems like i mean she's been doing it since the album came out it seems 34 like yeah she's dropped 34 different versions yeah but billy ally specifically people are talking yeah so i think people like the internet's like really creating
Some sort of divide here, which I don't know if it actually exists. Like, I think the internet's just making it one. And then Sabrina Carpenter went to Charli XCX's birthday party and
And there were Taylor fans freaking the fuck out that Sabrina went to Charlie X's birthday party. And I'm like, who cares? Who fucking cares? Do they actually have beef with each other? I don't think so. So why does anybody care? I don't think so. I think it's just all made up internet stuff. I feel like it's just at this point like...
If that's the case, Taylor fans are going to be mad that...
Sabrina is hanging out with literally anybody. It just feels unnecessary. They're pitting all of these pop stars against each other and I just feel like it doesn't need to be happening because I feel like they all support each other. I feel like everyone's excited with Billie Eilish puts new music out, Charli XCX, everybody's been loving her album. People love Sabrina Carpenter. Her album's coming out in August. People are hyping that up. I feel like all the pop star girlies are just supporting each other and
Oh, apparently there's a lyric that they think alludes. So...
While Billy and Charlie have notably both been victims of Taylor's recent chart blocking efforts, Taylor released three new versions of the Tortured Poets department ahead of Billy dropping Hit Me Hard and Soft. And then the singers engaged in a pretty intense chart battle that involved way too many remixes and slightly different album versions. Taylor ultimately stashed the number one Billboard slot and pushed Billy's debut to number two, even though TTPD had been out for a full month already and Billy's album was brand new.
considering it's brat summer not tortured poet summer charlie really deserved a number one but taylor intervened this is what this article i'm just reading the article although brat was literally projected to reach number one in the uk in mid-june taylor swooped in and dropped six uk only album variants and blocked brat from the top of the charts not to mention charlie almost explicitly references feeling weird about taylor in the brat track sympathy is a knife
She sings, don't want to see her backstage at my boyfriend's show. Fingers crossed behind my back. I hope they break up quick because I couldn't even be here if I tried. I'm opposite. I'm on the other side. Charlie is engaged to 1975 member George Daniel. And who do we know who dated another 1975 member recently? And then there was the guess. Don't name drop and guess. But fan think one line in the remix alludes to the chart wars and other recent moments of Shade.
You want to guess what me and Billy have been texting about Charlie teases toward the end of the song. Right after that, Billy says you've been disrespectful. These lyrics are a brilliant strategy because they're super vague, but they also leave just enough room for the bad blood for the Taylor Swift Avenue of speculation.
Interesting. So it feels like it's just a lot of like maybe they're baiting a little bit. Maybe they're getting the conversation going. Either way, I'm open to all new music from all the pop stars because it's all fantastic. And I think people have been really enjoying Charlie XCX's new album. You know, everyone's like, oh, it's Brat Summer. But yeah, I don't know. I got it. Like I loved I love Taylor. I always will. But it's just like you got to.
Where do you draw the line on the on the on the different variations of the albums? Yeah. Yeah. Well, either way, it seems like Charlie X had an amazing birthday party. It's so much fun. So many people attended. It's very like early 2000s. Like when I see pictures of this birthday party, paparazzi pictures of people leaving, going the pictures in the party. I'm like, this is very early 2000s. Girls just having fun. Guys having fun.
Whatever happens, happens. And they're just enjoying the night. And I love to see it. Yeah, we had Anya Taylor-Joy, Billie Eilish, Stassi Baby, Addison Rae, Lucas Gage, Scout and Tallulah Willis, Nelly Furtado, Alexa Demi, Glenn Powell was there. Of course, Glenn Powell made an appearance. There were some duet posts that were supposed to be allegedly inside. Oh, you know, I bartended the event and I saw blah, blah, blah. And...
There was one that was like, it said like Lucas Gage was like making out with like a ton of people or something. And it was very funny. He commented, he was like, grow up. It was only two people.
So that was very funny. And then there was like another part that said, I guess somebody said like, oh, Glenn Powell was there and then like left quickly. And then like another one was like, no, Glenn Powell was there and he was talking to Gracie Abrams like the whole time. And then it's just like, it's people's interpretations of people.
There's the people who love the drama and the people that have a rational head on their shoulder. It's like people who send something in and be like, oh my God, Glenn Powell and Gracie Ambrose were talking for so long. It must be flirty. It must be something. And then another person commented and was like, yeah, I was there. I saw them. Just looked pretty platonic. They were just in the same section. Looked like they were just being nice to each other. Yeah, they talked for like 10 minutes and then Glenn Powell left. Yeah, you know? So there's always different...
Right. I would say. And people kind of like... But it seemed like quite the party, quite the event. Great party. And I feel like people just make up like what they want to believe. It's like you could see Gracie Abrams and Glenn Powell talking at a table. And if you want to believe that they're just friends, you're going to believe they're just friends. But if you want to believe that like maybe they're flirting, your whole mind will be like, well, they were talking. I think they were flirting. Totally. But it's like the saying like...
Are they too hot people that are just talking or are they flirting? You know what I mean? Classic mix up. Yeah. You know, that's why I just saw this thing, too, that kind of like made me laugh when it comes to that. And it's not exactly the same, but it's just like the age difference thing when people see like when Tobey Maguire left the white part or something where he was like with a really young model. She's like 20. Yeah. Yeah.
And don't worry, he was seen with another model. Well, that's what I was going to say. His his ex wife was like, can a guy just, you know, help a help a friend like get into her car? Like whatever it was like they were all trying to downplay that he wouldn't. That's like an age like what a giant age gap making out with a 24 year old this weekend. So really at this point, Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio just weird me out.
Well, it's just, I mean, it's such a weird, not weird, but it's like... And I know I'm saying at this point, it's been a while. Yeah. But... And this, you know, sorry, Toby, but you're probably, you're like his sidekick. You're like, oh, like...
oh leo's doing it i'm gonna do it too well they're best friends they've been best friends i know they're best friends for a while but you're telling me he's not the sidekick in that relationship totally the sidekick leonardo caprio leonardo caprio yeah um toby mcguire is totally the sidekick you're right yeah i don't know it's weird um moving on zach efron what like can zach efron just stay inside like i feel like every time zach efron leaves his house he gets hurt
and were hurting his precious face like i don't know what's happening but apparently allegedly zach aphron was rushed to the hospital in ibiza yeah he was pulled out of a swimming pool because he was hurt in a swimming pool and they went and then he went to the hospital and then turns out he's fine and then he's pumping weights he posted a picture of himself pumping happy and healthy he's being like happy and healthy it's like one night you're in the hospital in ibiza and then next day you're pumping weights like
Let's give it 48 hours, Zach. I don't know what's going on. Was Zach just partying too hard and the guy was sleeping in the pool? It's possible. I don't know. And I've seen far too many...
Far too many conspiracies And stuff on TikTok too I saw one girl make this video I was like Okay this is just Straight up mean And like what if Something actually happened Like you would feel like Such a fucking giant asshole Like I don't know how Sometimes people Post it on the internet I'm like why are you Saying that Like it's Let me tell ya It's just It's exhausting It's really like I don't know It's crazy to me So
I don't know. His reps are really pushing that this was not a big deal, minor thing. He didn't really need to go to the hospital, but they insisted. Why did they even tell anybody he went to the hospital? It seems. But I don't think they did. I think TMZ found out. They posted the story, and then his reps had to comment. It was like TMZ was like, is Zach Efron rushed to the hospital? And they had to be like, no, no. His rep told TMZ that he was taken to the hospital as a precautionary.
Cautionary measure But it's just like the way this is worded That you're like well what the fuck Because TMZ wrote two employees Working at a villa discovered Efron in a pool And pulled him out of the water Like you're like oh
Don't like that. Don't like the sound of that at all. But you have like, there's no more, no more details. Then people start, you know, coming up with their own things. Like I just said, like, was he partying too hard in the pool? Here's one thing I don't like about pools. Foul play in a pool. Yeah. Yeah. I don't like foul play in a pool. I don't like when people push people into pools. It really says a lot about a person when they pick somebody up and throw them in a pool with no warning. Like, Hey,
And they pick them up and throw them in. Aquamarine style. Yeah, yeah. That tells me a lot about you. I think she wants to go in the pool. Yeah, and then she's screaming. Yep.
It says a lot about a person when they just push someone in a pool. You got no regard for human life if you're just pushing and their own people in pools with no warning. So many bad things can happen. I don't even want to name them, but so many bad things can happen. Forget if you got shit in your pockets. That's the least of your worries. There are some horror stories of people being pushed into pools or thrown into pools. And I don't stand for it. I don't like foul play by a pool. I don't.
No, and that's why it's just like, I don't know what, was it late? What was happening? There's truly no details about it, which is why I think Zach was so quick to post on his story. Like, here's me and I'm working out. I'm totally fine. But the conspiracy people are running wild with this one because they're like, is that picture current?
How do we know? Yeah. Hold up the newspaper with the date Zac Efron. Like, they're just like, people are crazy. And it's gone. It's spiraled. But why can't we just let him be? It's really spiraled. You know what I mean? Like, what does it matter if that's a recent picture or not? If Zac Efron wants to post an old picture of himself, like, who cares? I can't even think those thoughts because it would...
Like I just need Zach to take care of himself. Zach everyone needs to stay home. Zach just has to take care of himself. Zach has to take care of himself. He does. Because some of the TikToks I was seeing of people comparing this, that, the other thing. I was like no. No. We're not making these comparisons. We're not doing this. He's okay. He's okay.
Let's not even put that out into the world. I'm not even going to repeat what was being said because I'm not going to be a part of the problem. And I was like, stop. How about you just say your videos, oh my God, I'm so glad Zach's okay. Take care of yourself, Zach. We don't have him on a star for no reason. No. No. Please. Zach, please take care of yourself. The star's at half mass today. Seriously. Oh my gosh. No. Well, he's okay. No, he's okay, but...
Be careful around pools, everybody. Yes. Noah was trying to do a flip into the pool last weekend and I almost had a heart attack. I was like, oh my God. He did it. It was fine. But I was like, oh my God, please be careful. He was running on a wide angle and there's a bend in the pool and you know, you're jumping, you're going to flip. You could hit your head. It's a whole thing. Yeah. It's a whole thing. So Zach Efron and for everybody out there, please be careful around pools. And Zach, maybe just, you know,
Take it ease. Yeah. You know, take it ease. Last topic, Rob from Love Island. I don't know how to pronounce his last name. I want to be completely honest. I don't know how to pronounce Rob from Love Island's last name. Roush? I think. Yeah. I'm not sure, but I'm going to call him Rob from Love Island because he would hate that. And Love Island's Rob. Love Island's Rob. Love Island's new Harry Jowsey Rob. Yeah.
I'm sick of seeing Harry Jowsey's face, by the way. I just want to be completely honest about that. I'm just like... No, I mean, I just like Harry Jow... I almost... I have a disdain and respect for him at the same time because he is just a mess. I just feel like he's just a bug that never goes away. Yeah. But on the topic of Rob...
He was in Nessa's new music video. And now him and Nessa were spotted together and people were like, oh, I think it's for Nessa's new music video. Turns out they were correct. Yeah. It was a spicy, sexy, hot music video. Sure was. But the way they were acting about this music video, I thought they were fucking on the screen. Like, I thought when I watched this, they were going to be legitimately like, like. Yeah. The TikToks and videos people were making, I was like, okay. I think it was because of how.
the reactions i was seeing and then compared to when i watched it i wasn't like holy fuck because the reactions what i was seeing were like uh like they you know look that's how i reacted more graphic well because you probably watched it before you saw all the reactions but i i watched it and was like holy shit i don't know why i just didn't expect it to be like
I just, I truly just didn't think they'd be making out like that at that level. Oh, I don't know why. I don't know why I assumed they would be. I mean, I guess that's what you signed up for. I mean, it must be quite the power to wield, you know? Because it sounds like Nessa just reached out to him, wanted to be in the video. Sure, sure.
And just like, Nesta's like, this guy's hot. I'm going to make out with him. Yeah, like he's just going to be in my music video. Music video with this hot guy and get everybody talking because everybody's talking about him. And then now I'm going to make out with him. It's going to cause a whole thing. It was smart because it's probably like...
The views on the music video are high. Very smart by her. Very, very smart. And literally his direction must have just been like stare into space and don't and that's it. Like he didn't have to do anything. Like he has a straight face the entire time and he's just fake driving a car.
It was like just don't speak And just stand there and then we'll make out Just make out with me and then Empty your brain with thoughts So that's exactly what he did on the show But he has no desire to Be famous No but if an opportunity Like obviously I'm going to say yes No desire he doesn't want to be famous at all But if you If somebody asks you to do something cool No desire though No desire
Yeah. I will say it was a steamy music video, I thought. It was a smart move by NASA. Yeah, it was. It was a smart move by NASA. Everybody watched. Yeah. They did watch. So she might just have to put him in all her music videos now going forward. He just becomes like a music video guy. A music video vixen. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. I've been re-watching Love Island because the reunion's coming up and I want to like
pick up on things that maybe yeah the second time around if we have people come in i want to make sure that i got everything damn he really sucked like he really like it's like watching it back without the edits and everything you're like damn like yeah fuck that was bad yep it was bad um but you know what he's out there doing his thing music videos music video vixen out there um all right that wraps up the topics

All right, let's get into the Weekly Watch Report where we talk about the things we watch this week. Weekly Watch Report on Monday. Weekly Watch Report on Monday. Weekly Watch Report on Monday. Weekly Monday. So we all finished Presumed Innocent. Yeah. But now it's like a while, like we finished it a week ago. Yeah. I'll give it a solid A. Yeah. I thought, you know, spoiler, if you didn't watch, we're going to talk about the ending. Spoiler alert. Spoiler, spoiler, spoiler. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert.
I thought it was really good. I thought, listen, I never, I'm not good at guessing these types of shows ever. Like I really am actually very bad at it.
For some reason, I guess this one correctly. But that's why I'm so bad at things because I usually guess the person that's like not. Right, right. Suspected at all. Not even an option. Because I'm like, ooh, that would be crazy. And for some reason, this one turned out to be that. Joe and I went through like all the before we watched the last episode. I was like, oh, I mean, because they they they lead you in all the different directions. Yeah.
which is fascinating but I was like oh this has got this has got Molto written all over it yeah it's got Tommy Molto and then honestly I was thinking the son not her son his son and yeah it was just there was a lot of options and that was not the one I thought but I still I thought the ending was still so good of like because it was like despite him not doing it
He still was involved. He still covered it up, you know? Yeah. So it was like all of his... I mean, Jake Gyllenhaal just did such a fantastic job. He was so good. Like his closing arguments and everything, like it was so good. And then I came back around at the end too of thinking, well, maybe...
like I was like well maybe it was just him and we're just gonna see like how fucking convincing he is because he's doing such a good job and he's gonna get off and then like it is gonna be him and then I thought in the garage I thought oh my god he's I thought he was gonna kill her I thought he was gonna kill his wife I thought that was gonna be the whole thing it was gonna be like he I mean nine million scenarios ran through my head in that moment but I was like oh my god he's gonna
he's gonna kill her and then it's gonna be like he did all of them right like just a murderer yeah so I had that thought but I was like there's no way because the undoing was that right right yeah no I know everybody was like everyone was like it's not the same as and um
for the undoing I'm just like which turned out to be a great show because when someone is so obviously the murderer you think it can't possibly be them but then it just was him yeah it just would have been too alike it would be like okay cheating kills the mistress boom same thing it gets put on oh it's him would have been the same exact thing so I was like there's no way this is going to be the same thing
But I thought it was incredible. Yeah, for some reason I was just like, oh, it's the daughter. But I was completely kidding. Like I really like I was just like, all right, I'm going to throw out the daughter. It's smart to think that way because she was like one of these. And there were very suspicious. There were very subtle moments to it, of course. And like you can go back to her mentioning like the disassociation thing and like all these things that like I'm sure if you watch it back, you'll pick up on more.
on more cues, but it did feel like they were leading us in every other direction than hers. Yeah. And it seemed like they were trying to make everyone think it was Tommy Malto, which then I thought would have been too obvious as well because he's so against Jake Gyllenhaal. But I thought it was really good. I'll give that an A. I started watching Lady in the Lake with Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram, two episodes in
I think it's going to get really good, but I'm only two episodes in. So I'll give it a B for right now. Okay. But I was really interested, but I only watched two episodes because I fell asleep after that. What else did I watch? I rewatched Love Island, which I know sounds sad, but I'm doing it for good reason because the reunion is coming up and we might have some people in here.
What else did I watch? I think that's it. Like, I'm sure if I hear something else. Yeah, I mean, like Olympics or like there's so many. Yeah, there's so much other things happening. I'm mostly watching the Olympics like every day, so. Yeah, I think that's it for right now. I will give Presumed Innocent an A as well. I thought it was really, really good. I finally watched the last episode of The Bears, which I don't know why it was. And I thought it was the last two episodes Joe and I hadn't watched. Yeah.
We started playing 9 and we were like, oh, we watched this one? And then we just started laughing. We were like, damn, we really just didn't watch 10. We just didn't watch 10. We'll give the last episode a B-. It's still good, but...
I feel like coming off of watching other stuff, I was like, meh, it's just not doing it for me right now. You're good. I'm looking for you to be great. Yeah. 100%. Exactly. Abby Lee Miller. I've been watching, still watching Love Island UK. I think I'm on episode 51 or two. It is really hysterical how much longer they go. There's so many more episodes. And...
So I guess, I mean, this is no spoiler. I actually don't, I'm pretty sure it's over. I don't even know who won. It is. I got spoiled. Oh, you did? Yeah. Somehow I haven't been spoiled. I'm shocked. Now that I'm talking about it, my phone's sitting right next to me. It'll get spoiled for me for sure. I mean, I've seen like clips of people out of the villa like doing interviews, but I haven't like seen like the full blown results. I...
I'm like, I'm over the, we're in this point where if you're watching, you'll get it. If not, like, I guess, spoiler, if you're catching up, I'm over the, like, Mimi and Ayo, like, are they gonna, there's like, move on. Like, he, I just, Mimi is too cool, too awesome, too great of a girl to, like, entertain Ayo after the shit he pulled at Kasa. Like, no, no, no. No, no, no. Do not go back to him.
And unfortunately, Joey Essex, I think, just ruined this season. Like, he's doing interviews being like, oh, you know, like, I hit my mark. Like, I did my scene. Yeah, I saw that. He's like, it's reality TV. He's like, it's reality TV. Like, he was like, I think it really matters to these other people. But, like, to me, like, I can say my thought and, like, stir the pot and then walk away and be totally fine because, like, I'm just faking it. Basically, it felt like that's what he was saying. And I was like, okay, well, that just kills Love Island. That's not the point. Like, it just...
Love Island thrives off these being like normal people and their visceral emotional reactions. And once you start throwing one reality TV person in there, like for Love Island Games, blah, blah, blah, other things, the all-stars, it's all people that have been on reality TV before. So it's like, I get it. That's going to be different. But just throwing one in where it's like,
And people are saying he was just a producer plant because the producers would be like, hey, Joey, we need you to do this. He'd be like, sure. Because he just thinks he's on TV. He's just going through the motions. So unfortunately, I think that was the downfall of this season. They should not do that again. And I'll give these episodes a B- as well. And did I watch anything else? Oh, yeah.
Because now we finished Presumed Innocent. I'm doing... I know that the finale was last night, so I really tried to stay off Twitter. But House of the Dragon, episode one. Watched it. I heard this season is fucking awful. It's bad and... I'm still going to watch it, and it is unfortunate that all I hear is people saying it's not good. I will be watching it. I liked the first episode, episode one. I'll give it a...
I'll give it a B. I'll give that probably a B minus as well. The reaction to what I saw last night, I won't be watching this season. It was an all-around bad reaction. So let me tell you something. When I see people react like that, sometimes it makes me want to watch it more because I'm like, well, I just don't want to jump on the bandwagon of like, it was so bad without having even seen it. Yeah, my thing is just like,
I haven't seen people shitting on it that much the whole season. Like I've just, yeah, but I just said the finale was apparently the worst finale ever for someone who didn't start the second season. It's just not making me want to start. No, no, it doesn't at all. I'm not like, oh, it's so I'm not saying it so bad. I didn't see it. So I don't know, but I'm not like, oh, I'm going to sit down and watch this. Like, yeah, I'm also not invested in it at all. Like I don't like I literally only watch when there's a dragon on the screen.
I don't know what's going on. But that's because it's so boring. That's what I've seen people say. It's really not that interesting. I don't know. I opened Twitter for two seconds and was like, oh no. I saw some of the reactions. I was like, I shouldn't even be looking because I do want to watch it. But I did see some people being like, holy fuck. I thought that was...
Like that was the finale. Yeah. So seems like people were not super pleased by that. In the world of dragons though, not to like bring literature into the mix, but I've been reading fourth wing. So good. So good. Is this your first time? Yeah, I haven't read it. I feel like I'm shocked. It's right up my alley and people have been telling me to read it. I just haven't read it. For years now, I feel like people have been talking about it.
I know. I haven't done that. And I was like, oh, I should really probably read it. I finished all the ACOTAR books. I did that. My sister's been reading like the Throne of Glass series. So I wanted to do that as well. But I was like, you know, I'll do Fourth Wing first because it's just Fourth Wing and...
Iron Flame, I believe, is the second one. And Throne of Glass is like nine books or something. So I was like, that's a massive undertaking. But I haven't been able to put it down. Really? So good. I'm shocked that you just started it now. I know. And honestly, somebody...
It took me a while and I got, I like understood the hype. I knew people were excited and I knew people loved it. And I saw everybody being like, it was so good. I was like, I'll read it eventually. But you know what got me is one girl in my DMs when I posted like that, I had fourth wing locked and loaded in my Kindle that was going to be my next book up. Somebody was like, Fran, oh my God, it's literally just like,
Hogwarts with dragons and I was like oh you got me that's how they sold me that's how they sold you sold me yeah mature like because they're older they're not you know they're not starting Hogwarts at 11 like they're older so I was like okay
Yeah, I'm in. That just pulled me right in. And I started this weekend and I was like having issues like putting down my putting down my book, which I love when that happens. Especially on the beach. Yeah. Yeah. Really. That was fun. That's really good. Two seconds for a book moment because the dragons was making me think about it. All the dragon content. And I think they're making fourth wing a TV show, maybe a movie. All of them are getting adapted. Yeah.
I think maybe a TV show. Yes. Everything fourth wing. What we know so far about the television of adapt adaption adaptation. Sorry. A former Breaking Bad writer has been tapped as showrunner for the series. Okay. It's getting the Amazon treatment with a buzzy prime video television adapt adaptation.
That's a good one. I like when Prime Video normally delivers. So that's going to be good. Okay, good. Nice. Anyway, Noah, what did you watch? Not much. House of the Dragon, episode seven. So I'm one behind in the finale. But like we're saying- Once you said you're not paying attention. After last night, I'm like-
Do I even want to watch the finale? No, you have to. I think I will. But don't you think it's like sometimes when you get all the way to the end and you're like, it's one episode left and everybody's shitting on the last one. You're like, you got to watch it. I'm just like, so I'm going to waste an hour of my life. Another hour of my life. I mean. Like, I don't want to like spoil anything. No, I think there's plenty of hours that are wasted in your life. One of them can be to watch the House of the Dragon finale. We're flying on Wednesday, so maybe you could watch it. Yeah. Yeah.
Because I'm hearing, like, there weren't even really any dragons in this finale. So it's like, what am I watching for? It sounds like they just decided season two was going to be a total, like, set-up season. It's like, this isn't Game of Thrones. Like...
You got to make these seasons good. But I'll give that like a C, episode seven. I saw Twisters in the movie theater. I'm fucking dying to go to the movies. God damn it. How was it? So I went in. Did you go to 4DX? No. Well, so I looked it up because I was like talking to one of my friends who we were going to maybe go. And I'm like, oh, maybe we should go to 4D. And he sent me like a video of like-
what the experience was like and it's like way more intense than you think yeah like honestly it is last time we talked about it i know we downplayed it but i had some girls message me be like no no i went to 4d and my popcorn was flying out of my hands like the pop your popcorn flying it's like steam and smoke yeah like it's actually crazier than you think it looks like a roller coaster
They were like, after a while... I kind of want to see it like that. No, I know. I understand both sides of it. Like, it's like, it's funny and then like after like 20 minutes you're like, I just want to fucking watch it. Yeah, you're probably like nauseous. Yeah. I feel like it's almost one you have to go to twice. Like, you have to watch... Like, I would probably watch it normally like the first time and then maybe just... Just for fun. Just for a thrill you go to 4DX as the second viewing. I will say that I kind of wish I did because I don't know what I was expecting. Well, I know what I was expecting. Like...
But I was kind of like hearing about it in the same way that I heard about like Top Gun too. Like it was a summer movie. Everyone loves this. And it was fine. But I don't even think it was close to like – I didn't love it. I didn't love it. I thought it was good. I'll give it a B-. Have you ever seen the original Twister? I think I did like maybe like a long time ago on TV. And I liked like these storm type of movies. Yeah.
It just was, like, exactly what... I don't know. It just was very predictable in my mind. Like, I don't know. That makes sense. Like, Glenn Powell, he's great. Yeah, yeah. Day-Jager Jones is good. Enjoyable movie, but you're not, like, telling people you gotta go see Toasters. At no point was I, like, so locked in. I'm like, this is just... And it's pretty much just nonstop action. And you kind of know what's gonna happen. You know what's gonna happen. Right, right. And, yeah, you know, like... Yeah. You don't need to spoil it. But I'll give it a B- like...
But I was saying like if Top Gun 2 was a 10 out of 10 like summer movie, then I was going to give this like at best a 6 maybe like a 5. Like it was a good movie but in terms of like comparison. That makes sense. Yeah. I mean I feel like just in general like Twister and Top Gun are just two totally different I think it's because I'm pals in both. I know. It's a tough comparison because I mean Top Gun 2 was in its own stratosphere quite literally. Yeah. Like it's not a comparable movie. Yeah. Like it's not. Twister is like a movie you throw on
Like it's still on cable They're playing it on cable A bunch lately Because of the new movie Right exactly Did you guys ever do The Twister ride at Universal It's more of an experience It's more of a 14 experience Never like 3 or 2 at Universal Oh I Twister was awesome At Universal as a kid
Is there a water ride? It's basically a room you just walk into and there's just a storm in front of you. Just a windy room? It's not really a ride. You don't get on anything really. It's just a very... The storm plays out in front of you. Which I loved as a kid. And then I watched the first five episodes of...
Gen V, which is the spinoff show of the boys. It came out in 2023. There's only one season out. But yeah, that's really good. I didn't even know they made a spinoff of it. Yeah, I didn't know that either. Who is the spinoff? Well, the spinoff is basically like
all the superhero superheroes who kids who go to college so it's like college for superhero I like that which is actually very good because it's basically just like a college teen show but they're superheroes but they're in superhero school oh that's kind of sick it actually is it's kind of like Monsters University-esque like in that way I would say Monsters University well you know like they're all going to school they're all monsters hell of a comparison
Animated. But it's very good. It's like Monsters U. Extremely graphic. Like, just as graphic, if not more than the boys. Like, extremely graphic. Oh, really? Like, someone's dick gets blown off. Oh, goodness gracious. At college? Yeah. Freshman year? Get your dick blown off? Tough one. Yeah. I'll give it a B+. Tough way to start. Yeah.
Yeah, I think I'm enjoying this way more than this past season of The Boys. Oh, okay. I like the premise. Are they doing more seasons of Gen V? I just looked it up. I think there's a season two coming out next year. Okay, interesting. They were teasing Sex Lives of College Girls season three. I saw that. And they were also teasing The White Lotus.
I saw that too and The Last of Us I saw HBO's like yeah because now that House of Dragons is done yeah they were teasing all their stuff the Thailand the White Lotus 2025 is Secret Life back this fall?
I couldn't, it was just a teaser. I don't know exactly when it's coming out. It's gotta be. They finished filming that a while ago. Isn't the White Lotus usually a summer show? The White Lotus comes out 2025. Yeah, it's gonna be a while. I'm gonna guess winter, yeah. Winter? That would be crazy. 2025, the closest to 2025 is winter. No, it's not. 2025 starts in January. Oh, oh, oh.
I was thinking when you said... No, but you're thinking like... I was thinking like December 2025. No, no, I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying. You're going all the way. I don't... I mean, I think that'll be like summer 2025. So you mean like start of 2025, like the beginning of 2025? You're thinking start 2025. I'm thinking January, February, March. Hopefully, yeah. That would be fine. I thought you were saying like... I'm thinking maybe March, March 2025. No, no, no. I feel like it should be in the summer. Oh, I was also just saying secret lives, like it's the secret life of the American teenager. I was going to say sex lives. Yeah. Yeah.
in this new season she is but it was like kind of a lesser role because she said she didn't want to act but then but then she said she wants to act so it was like what happened olivia rodrigo she just got she got too big for the show and then but then she's still in it yeah i think she's just in like the beginning right that's all yeah because she's still in it but just a lesser role yeah
It doesn't really... They didn't give exact times for any, really, of the shows. Who's the biggest star in The White Lotus? It's a big cast. I don't know. I kind of forget who... Because I saw the trailer, and I'm like, I don't recognize him. I know that Patrick Schwarzenegger's in it. I think it's probably... But he's obviously... I don't think he's the star. I hope not. No, no. I would say it's probably...
Like, some of the biggest names is probably What's-His-Face, the... God, I'm, like, spacing on his name. He's Lucius Malfoy. Oh. Aubrey Plaza? I don't think she's back for season three. She's not back for season three. Oh, wait, no, no. I'm looking at past seasons. You start naming Lucius. Yeah, I was like, I don't think she's back for season three. Alexandra Daddario. Yeah. I do wish sometimes... Like, I do like when they bring back familiar faces. Yeah. Um...
But Jennifer Coolidge, you know, not going to be back for this season. Yeah, they're bringing back the woman from season one. Yes, they are. Yeah, it seems like there's not any giant names on here. No, it's like Walton Goggins, Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey, Leslie Bibb.
Why am I? It's going to be great. I keep seeing Michael Imperioli. Jason Isaacs. Jason Isaacs. That's who I'm thinking of. I saw his name here for White Lotus. I can't stop running into him. Really? When did you run into him last? A couple weeks ago. He's like, I'm near like all the Broadway shows and he has a Broadway show and I just keep seeing him walking. And he also has a new bar. It's funny, no, like Sopranos, it doesn't go straight Sopranos. No, no, he does. For me, I think it's Sopranos for him. Montessanti. Yeah.
How about that text about Bada Bang? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Marty texted me like, that's the easiest question ever. I told him the question. He was like, what? Maybe for Italians it is. I was like, how did that get mixed into the bunch of questions? I was like, I... If you just asked me what's the name of the strip club, I would not be able to tell. That's crazy. That's not like a memorable thing to me. It is. It's all they talk about. They never said like, oh, let's go to Bada Bing. They say let's go to the Bing. Let's go to the Bing.
I don't think it's... I would be curious to see how many people know that. Everybody. Everybody knows it. Everybody. Everybody. Damn, I don't know. Sorry, I know I'm repeating myself, but it's one of those things that if you watch The Sopranos, everybody knows the name. Yeah.
But that's okay. Just not you. Yeah, now I do. You're the outlier. And now you will remember forever. Alright, we should get you a t-shirt. It's like if they asked what's the name of the diner in Gilmore Girls. I've never seen Gilmore Girls, but what's the name of the... Luke's Diner. No, but like Krusty Krab. Spongebob. I feel like that's more comparable. Krusty Krab's way more known. I'm trying to think of another one. It's the Krusty Krab.
Krusty Krab's on another level. The Chill Grill, that's a Raven. Yeah. We did all those shirts. Yeah. All right. Okay. That's everything we watched this week.

We are joined by the one and only, one of our closest friends, Donnie Bananas. Woo! Woo!
Round of applause. All right. We're going to put that in post, okay? To give background to the closest friend introduction, because people might be like, what? You guys are close friends with Johnny Bananas? Once upon a time, we did do a show. Yep. With Johnny. My travel show, First Look. Yeah. Yeah.
and he labeled us as his best friends and we maybe met one time before that. Well, I worked fast. Like one or two times before that. But honestly, we had a good laugh about that because we were talking about it when we were in Fiji with some of the peacock people that were around and we were like, I don't know if you guys all know this, but we're actually best friends with
It's one of those things you just know. Check out our episode of First Love. It's like love at first sight. It's like you just know, you guys are like my twin flames. Exactly. We all knew that we clicked and then we became your best friends on First Love. And then you guys changed offices, redecorated the place, and forgot about me. Yeah, it's actually been a little bit since you've been in here. It has been a little bit. It's been a little bit since you've been on a season of The Challenge. Yeah, true. It's also, we feel like you may be our most, like our guest that we've had on the most amount of times. I think we are.
He's gotta be up there. Okay, I gotta be up there. You're up there. If we did the stats, you're definitely up there. You live in Florida, though, so it's when you're in New York City. Yeah. But we wanted to have you on when Traitors was on, season two of Traitors. Oh, really? That invite must have gotten lost in the mail. We went back and forth in the DM. We were voted off so quickly. I was murdered. First of all, I was not voted off. I was murdered. You were murdered off Traitors. We were like, what could he have to say about the season? He was barely there. Yeah.
A lot, actually. Okay? I actually said and did more in my three days that I was there than most of... I got them nominated for five Emmys. Were you... Single-handedly. Just you? Just me. They're now up for five Emmys because of my 72 hours of amazing television. Were you so pissed when you got murdered off Raiders? Yes, very. Because that show is incredible. Um...
It was like such a cool new experience for me. And it was like my opportunity to kind of take everything that I had, you know, learned over the years on the challenge. And it was like this new opportunity for me to like, you know, compete in a totally different theater on a totally different network with new people. And I'm used to going on the challenge and having people like,
Target me right away and tee off on me because of my reputation and my background, but I'm going to the traders I'm like, this is great. Like other than CT and Trishel. I don't nobody knows me like I'm gonna just be able to go in Yeah, and that wasn't the case. Yeah, unfortunately, like I mean I came in and there was already You know target on my back and it just so happened that they made Dan one of one of the traders and
Who just had, I mean, from day one, like from Jump Street, no matter what I did, that guy was going to come after me. And it wasn't even necessarily, I think, because I was a threat to his game. I was a threat to like his ego and his camera time because, you know, over the years he's been, you know, touted as like the greatest big brother player in the history of the game.
I came in and was just doing my thing and I think stole a lot of the thunder and he didn't like that. Right. Yeah. He was like, Oh, big bad challenge player. Although the two people who won in the end were challengers. Yes. I did that. You could have made it all the way to the end. That's staying. No. Are you happy? No, that I was, I couldn't have been more happy. I'm like the way that I saw it was like, we are going on this show and it's the first time, like especially CT and myself are going to be able to go on and compete like as a unit and not like against each other. Um,
And we got such little respect. Like the challenge for whatever reason when it comes to reality competition shows gets no love. It's like, oh, this one's on Survivor. You got respect over here. Thank you. They made it to, you know, this one's on Survivor. Made it to the end once. You know, this person won one time 17 years ago. I'm like between me and CT. I mean, we have, dude, 13 shows.
12 wins between the two of us. We've been on TV longer. We've done it longer and harder than any of these people. And it's like when they mention it on Traders, they never mention our stats. And the challenge is such an extreme show. For anybody who has watched the challenge before, you know how much goes into it. Especially with this season coming up, season 40, Battle of the Eras, so much.
So, so, so exciting because for me as a challenge fan, the best seasons are when like when you guys are all back together competing against each other. At this point in time, I saw you post with Wes last night. Um,
Is there still like a rivalry? Like, do you still have that come back a little bit? Or at this point, are you like, okay, it's funny. Like, I don't really care anymore. All right. So for starters, season 40, I mean, the fact that, you know, back in 2006, when I started this journey, 2006, 18 years ago. Yeah. I, after I got eliminated first on my first season of the challenge, I didn't think I was ever going to be. First of all, I didn't know if I was going to ever be invited onto the challenge after my key West season.
I remember talking to one of the producers, Mark Saliga, after we wrapped Key West. And I'm like, dude, is there a shot that I'm going to be able to go on the challenge? And he's like, yeah, they might bring you on. And then I go on and I'm eliminated first, again, for a whole different reason, but first. And then I'm like, dude, I just screwed the pooch, dude. Like, I don't know if I'm ever going to be on again. And then 24 seasons later, you know, here we are at season 40. And...
Also as a fan, because even though I've been on this show for as long as I have, there are people on this show, the Era One crew, CT, Mark Long, Derek, Darrell, Brad, Rachel, Anissa, Katie, Tina, that I watched before I went on. So it was like such an out-of-body, it was such a cool experience from a competitor, but also as a fan, to be in a house...
And to watch like the OGs of OGs and their interactions and like watching again, it's almost like watching all stars. It was like, there's this very like nostalgic, you know, awesome, um, you know, just, just, you know, part about, about being that, that experience and seeing them interact together. Um, so yeah, I was so stoked to be a part of it and fans as of late, there is this ongoing debate between, um,
New school versus old school. We're sick of these old players. We want new blood. Our fans. We're sick of all these new players. We want to stick with who we know and the OGs. This season, you're going to get it all. You're going to get from the beginning all the way to the end. And may the best man and woman win. And I think this is truly going to be a battle of who...
who actually, you know, there's the, who lit the torch and then who's currently carrying the torch. I love a good mix. You know, I love like all, you know, going back to the beginning to now at this point, like, I don't even know if you can consider Tori like new because it has been years, but like a newer player, Devin, like those people are newer than you guys. But at this point, not necessarily like totally new. Like I, I like a good mix.
So, then that's... Yeah, I consider like the Survivor and like Big Brother players, I feel like, are like the newer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The newer ones. Yeah, kind of like the redheaded stepchildren on the show. Along with your boy, Wes. So...
But see, that's the thing is this season separates out the eras, right? So, and all of, it makes it a lot easier. How is it all split up? So season one through 10 is era one. Okay. 11 through 20 is two, 21 through 30, 31 through 40. Gotcha. So it makes it a lot easier because that's, I always said the same thing. Four eras, 40 seasons. I remember when I was like nine seasons in on the challenge.
And I still was like, am I an OG? I felt uncomfortable calling myself a vet or an OG because of the other people on the show. Now you have people who come on two seasons and they're vets or they're OGs. And I'm like, man, it took a long time. We had to spill a lot of blood in the mud before we ever got that respect and before we were ever allowed to call ourselves that. I think a win really changes your reputation too. Some of the newer people that like...
even though they do, they get a win early. Yeah. Then I think then they're also like, well, I'm a, I'm an OG cause I have a win. Yeah. Or they make it to the end of one show. I've always said the worst thing that can happen to people on the challenge is to come on their first season and make it all the way to the end because they don't understand how difficult it is to do that. Especially now the challenge has evolved so much over the last, you know, 23 seasons. When I, when I started, it was the, it was the, it was the very beginning of it.
from being carnival games to like an actual sport. And the finale was like one day. Yeah. Now it's a week, a week long. It's smearing. It's like the amazing race. It's like smear paint on this canvas and roll around on your body and roll around on this canvas or walk on a treadmill with itching powder. You know, I mean, Katie Doyle did an elimination smoking a cigarette. Yeah.
that's how like it used to be then yeah it transitioned then into what it is today which is it literally is a fucking sport dude yeah um so you know i've been there like through again through that transition and now there's so much parody in the game where you could come in you could be the best athlete with the greatest strategy but if there's not some luck some element of luck on your side you're not going to make it to the end so like just making it to the end
for me at this point, it's like a win because I mean, I go in with a huge target on my back. This season obviously is no different. Um, and I just have to kind of go to, you know, clock in day one, go to work and, you know, try to make it through all the twists and turns that they throw at us. What was the last season you did before this one? Uh,
The last one was Challenge USA in Croatia. So that was the CBS, the second version of the CBS Challenge. I get a little confused. You get confused. I'm like, which one is on MTV? Which one is on CBS? Which one's on Paramount? What's on this one? You and me both. I'm like, I can't even keep track.
Like I'll literally sit there and they'll be like, oh yeah, this. I'm like, I don't remember. They're like, you were on that season. Yeah. It all blends together. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like one big weird bad dream. Is there a way to prepare now for the challenge? I mean, so from a physical standpoint, I mean, listen, I'm 42 now. So I can't, I just don't have the ability to like, you know, rebound the way that I used to. So I really have to like listen to my body now.
Um, and so I, I'm not able to, I guess, prepare physically the way that I used to. I used to work out like every day. Now it's like, you know, I got to pick and choose when I do it. Um, but for me, it's like, I mean, you just, you, there's nothing you can, you just gotta be prepared for anything. Um, which is, I know it's kind of a weird thing to say, but it's like, you don't know what the hell they're going to throw at you. You don't know what the format's going to be. You don't know what the game is going to be. Um,
You don't know who's going to be there or how the voting situation is going to break down. So I go in and I'm just, I don't have pre... They come up with new things every season that you can't even wrap your head around. Every season. Yeah, I don't go in with a plan. I just go in. I'm just going to adapt to whatever they throw at me. Now going back, obviously one of the most talked about moments for you is when you took all the money.
Oh, I thought you were going to say the backpack because you guys love to play that clip. Yeah. Go ahead. We'll get it out of the way. I mean, obviously. The CT backpack. Iconic. Cue it up. Now we're going to make only a clip where it's just on repeat. I think it should be the whole podcast. It's just on repeat. On repeat. You getting carried. Thank you. You taking the money. Do you ever...
Like when you're laying in bed at night? No. Regret it? Absolutely not. That's what I was going to ask. Are you ever laying down and you're like, oh, I shouldn't have done that? No. No. It was, I mean, you knocked down our Zac Efron star. Not Zac Efron. Not Zac Efron. Not Zac Efron. Careful. See, you're getting nervous now. Zac Efron get a fucking star. Because he is a triple threat. I don't think he gets the respect that he deserves as a star. He's a star. He actually took an Emmy from me for hosting, so I don't know anything.
yeah for my travel show he's not even a travel host and somehow he beat me out for a daytime that was not a netflix show that was him just trying to not party and drink and and do bad and make bad decisions so like we're just gonna send you around the world to dry you out he had a travel show i and he won um so no regrets no regrets no regerts i mean not one never here's why okay this is what a lot of people don't
And I'm glad they're finally, you know, especially like MTV, they actually posted a clip. I respect the move. Thank you. Like, it's one of the best moves. And I respect that you respect... Sorry, my microphone. I respect that you respect... It's that big-ass diamond. You can't lift your arm up. It's really weighed down. Hold on. So, people...
know about the move it's almost like in football when the guy that retaliates gets the penalty but they don't see what the first guy did yeah they never see what happened first and that's what that's what's been the biggest I've never taken issue with the fact that people disagree that I took the money okay
I take exception to the fact, though, that people don't understand that it was a retaliatory action. She struck first and I just retaliated. You finished. Yeah. And if you know anything about me and when it comes to just pranks in general, you prank up.
You don't prank down. You taking the money was a prank. Prank up. If you get me... It was just one giant goof. It was just a prank. Gotcha. Chill out. You toll a pay for my house, I'm going to fucking light your car on fire. Yeah. Now, can you explain for the people who maybe don't know the back... So, like you said, people just know the retaliation. They don't know what came before. Can you just give like a summed up version? So, basically...
Me and Sarah had been friends for years, dude. She hadn't done a season in a while, but when she had first started, I mean, we took her under our wing.
Uh, really helped her out, really just kind of like, you know, helped her navigate the landscape. Um, and then she took a few seasons off, uh, and then her first season back was X's, uh, X's too. We knew going in who are, who we were going to be paired up with Jordan at the time. I hate it. Me and Jordan could not fucking stand each other. Um, he was new to the game. Very cocky, very arrogant, very pompous. Not much has changed.
So going in, I'm like, we had just had a big, you know, me and him, a battle the prior season elimination. We'd gone at it. So he was not on my good side. Sarah and him are going to be paired up now going into X's. So she hits me up before the season. We were working out together and stuff training for it. She goes, will you please put your differences aside with Jordan for me? Because we're friends. So going in, I'm like, Sarah, for you, I will do this.
So I put my differences aside with him. We worked hand in glove the entire season. In fact, if it wasn't for me coming back because Nani and I got eliminated, went to redemption, fought our way back into the game. Jordan and Sarah were at the bottom of the totem pole. We can't say a totem pole anymore. They were at the bottom of the list. So we came back in and we managed to then flip the whole script and then by nature of me coming back in,
basically put them back in a safety position right so we've been working the entire season as allies okay the plan from the beginning was sarah jordan me nani leroy and naya are the three that they're the alliance that we're gonna fight rock till the end jenna and jay were our layup our insurance policy when we get to the last elimination the last challenge we're
Whoever loses goes against Jenna and Jake because that'll be the best shot of all three teams making it to the final. That was the understanding we all went into it with. Until Sarah and Jordan end up winning the final challenge. She then sees this opportunity. Leroy loses. She then sees this opportunity to...
Basically get rid of me so she'd have an easier shot in the final which is exactly what she did Um, so by doing that then it ended up sending me in against my best friend I ended up going to a pretty brutal elimination against him I separated my ribs like it was gnarly like it was a And it was such a gut punch dude because I was like yo like I was riding with you this entire season If this was your plan all along or if you wanted then you should have let me know Mm-hmm
So, um, I just felt betrayed. I felt very betrayed, uh, by a friend and, um,
Hell hath no fury like a banana scorned. So I knew I was going to get my revenge one day. I just didn't know it was going to be as fucking sweet as it was. And you just didn't know it was going to be like tossed up in the air for you to just hit right out of the park. Here's the thing. If you want to be mad at anyone, be mad at production for putting that twist in. All I did was do exactly... Took what was offered. Yeah. Because it's not often that you get somebody with, here's the money. Do you want to split it? Yeah. Yeah.
Nine times out of ten, more than nine times out of ten, the people are splitting it. Yeah. Not you. It's like nine and a half times out of ten. Yeah. 9.75 times out of ten. Yeah. But here's the deal. Had she not done that to me first, well, A, we wouldn't have come in as rivals because the season was called Rivals. We wouldn't have come in as rivals, A.
But B, I wouldn't have done that. I forget it was called Rivals, right? Okay, so that's kind of a poetic ending to a season called Rivals. Let me take the money and run. And listen, there was three teams that had the opportunity to do it. Devin and Cheyenne, my cousin Vince and Jenna, me and Sarah. When TJ announced what the twist was in the beginning of the final...
You can see both the other teams like laugh. They were like, there's no fucking way I'm going to take the money. Sarah and I's reaction was identical. We both, we didn't look at each other and we both kind of stared at the ground because both of us were going to do it. I think she probably would have done it. And she tries to say she wouldn't have done it.
No, she totally would have done it. It's so easy to say I wouldn't have done that because you didn't get the option. Oh my God, I would have never done it. Yeah, because the option wasn't good. It's revisionist history, all right? Yeah, she definitely would have. I just struck first, dude. It is a funny aspect now that they have baked into a bunch of different reality shows too where it's like, here's the envelope, whoever gets the, like, they do it at,
They do it in Love Island, which is a funny twist because Love Island obviously is based on actually like romantic relationships. So it's like the thought that somebody at the end would win and then take the money for themselves completely is crazy. And it's actually, it has happened on Love Island Australia and it was fucking wild. It's almost like I'm breaking up with you and my wife telling you to take the money.
Yeah. Kind of like a divorce. Yeah. Yeah, it was crazy. It was crazy. I'm taking the house. I'm taking the kid. It's like almost a secondary thought because it's like the winners of Love Island do get money and they do have the opportunity to split or somebody keep the whole thing, but they always split it. They always split it. Yeah. Speaking of Love Island, Bula. Bula? We all just went to Fiji. We were all just in Fiji. Look at these tans. Right? I know. You got the best tan. Let's see, Franny. Put your arm in here. Could you guys lift those arms up with those rings? Yeah.
I don't know. Rhea's got a little Jersey Shore mixed in. Yeah, see, that's not fair. I got a little Florida mixed in. Slightly ahead there. You were there right before us. I know. We had just missed. Yeah, bummer. How did you end up there? Who invited you? How did you get involved? I was just traveling around. I was backpacking in Fiji. I was hiking through this fucking mountain, and I saw this place that looked like
Never Neverland and they wouldn't let me in and they were just like no you just go up on top of this hill and talk about it instead I'm just kidding I know somebody I've got a really good friend at
Peacock who basically told me a while ago she's like hey would we kind of would like to get you on Love Island games we think that would be a great platform or transition for you to go from like being on the challenge right and then going and competing on Love Island games because that's kind of like right in your wheelhouse um
It would make zero sense to put you in the fucking villa. Yeah. Regular. It would have been great. I told him this on after sun. They were like, oh, would you have gone in? I'm like, okay. After watching the last five episodes, because I didn't watch any of the season until I got there. Yeah. I'm like, I'll just catch up.
I'm thinking it's like a regular show. I'm like, oh, I missed maybe three or four episodes. They're like, no, you're 17 episodes behind. So I'm like freaking out. I'm like, oh shit, dude. So I should probably watch some. They're like, all right, we're just going to let you watch the last like five before Casa. And that's why they brought me in for Casa because this is going to be a very dramatic moment. Like we want your take on it. So I binged like six episodes in like 24 hours. I've never had worse. That's nothing. I'm going to say I'm not that impressed. Six in 24 hours? I mean, we've clocked about like,
8, 9, 12. I'm not a reality television watcher. And I literally had, it gave me anxiety. I needed a Xanax after watching that. Because I'm like, what they are putting these people through.
It's psychological warfare. Diabolical on another level. And coming from me, somebody that has been literally psychologically tortured in the past. I lived in a bunker underground for 10 weeks in the Czech Republic. An anti-aircraft missile bunker with no oxygen and no sunlight. And I have to wake up every morning and look at Wes Bergman's face. Like, dude, that's torture in itself. But...
The thing, the difference with the challenge is there's not as much like producer, like producer interference, I guess. Love Island, they were like, how can we set these people up to make horrible decisions that are 100% part of the recipe? And then when they do it, rake them over the coals for doing it and expose them for doing exact. And this is what I said on, on, on after sun. I'm like, cause all the, you know, uh, Sally, Maura, uh,
They were like, oh my God, you know, Cordell and Aaron are such assholes. How can they do this? I'm like, guys, these boys, they're 22 years old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'd be like giving a 16-year-old the keys to a Lamborghini and be like, drive the speed limit. Like, it's not going to happen. Yeah. And it's like, they set them up. You put these guys in a house. They meet a girl. They're in a relationship for a week. Then they're like slowly removed and then put in this other house with,
a new group of hot girls who are all doing everything they can to get these guys to break it off with their other... Because they have to get on the show. Because they want to get back into the villa. And then they record it and they send it to their significant others and then they make them come back into the house. Were you just mind blown watching this? Mind blown. Blown. I was watching this and I was like, oh my...
because they asked me that was one of the first questions they were like would you ever do this I'm like absolutely not so but would you do Love Island Games I do Love Island Games but it has it has a little bit of both whatever it has but see that has more of the competition aspect and it's like the whole purpose of Love Island is to go and find love that's not gonna happen for me so I would go on and I'd obviously focus on more of the competition is that just out of the question for you love yeah settling down
I don't know, man. I feel like I'm forever going to be the bridesmaid. You know what I mean? Watching all my friends settle down and get married. And do you feel sad about that or are you okay with that? So, okay. Here's what it is. The point that I'm at right now in my life and my career
I have so much going on and there is so much that happens on a daily basis. I mean, dude, just in the last, I was telling you guys the last two months, I was in Vietnam, the Philippines, then home for less than two weeks, St. Martin, then Fiji. Now I'm here doing press. I fly to LA tomorrow to do more press. And then I come back here for the premiere. And then I've got another show coming up in a few months. So it's like, I feel like I'd be doing anyone that I was in a relationship with.
Same reason I don't have an animal. I don't have enough time for a dog. You feel like you're selfish, but for good reasons. Eventually, I will die alone. Yeah, but no, I'm saying eventually, maybe the shows will slow down. They will, and I will too. Here's the way I look at it. Right now, where I'm at, I feel like I've asked for where I'm at for a long time. There's a reason why I fucking grinded it out on the challenge for...
15 16 years to finally get to a place where i've created enough of a brand and enough of you know just um just a persona to where then i could use that as a platform to leapfrog and to like you know delve into other areas and other shows and other parts of the
It's so much and it's coming so fast, but I tell myself, this is what I asked for. This is why I've foregone it.
I look at other guys on the challenge and it's like there's guys who've been married. They have kids. They've like settled down. Leroy, my best friend, he's got two kids now. And he's engaged to get married. And I'm like, I'm watching the guys. I'm like, damn, dude, if he's even like settled down. But it worked the show. It all worked. It does. You know, it's that that's where it happened for him. I know. So for me,
For me, like I just look at it like right now, I just need to focus 100% on my career. On what you've built. And what I've built and what I'm trying to continue to build because you know as well as I do, it's like this industry is so fickle.
It moves fast. There's always new people coming in, new personalities. If you were to settle down with somebody, would it be somebody who works in sort of the same industry as you so they kind of understand it's never going to be over for you. It might slow down. Or do you want someone who is totally removed? So I get this question a lot and it's like there's pros and cons to both. If you're with someone that's in the industry, they understand that
Like the ebb and flow of like what we have to do. Like, yeah, I go away for 10 weeks and I'm filming. But if you understand what that is, it's not me running around fucking naked around the house for 10 weeks. It's like, dude, it's a mental, you know, and strategic, you know, mind fuck. But then it's like,
So they will get that. And a lot of times like people in the entertainment industry have a very open and loose schedule like me. So they're able to travel and, you know, kind of, you know, do the same thing. But like, but then it's also, they're so tapped in anything and everything you do, they're like aware of it. And I do have to, I mean, just based on who I am and my, and you know, I have to kind of be a little bit of an eccentric, you know, over the top.
of myself. So a lot of people don't have the ability to like handle that. So the answer to your question is I don't know. I tend to run away from green flags and run towards red flags like a bull. Yeah. I got to stop doing that. I'm well aware. Yeah. But I'm probably not going to anytime soon. You're not looking to settle down. So you don't have to run towards the green flags right now. No. No. No.
When your schedule is packed up with activities, work projects, and more, it is easy to let your priorities slip. Even when we know what makes us happy, it's sometimes hard to let go.
sometimes hard to make time for that. But when you feel like you have no time for yourself, non-negotiables like therapy are more important than ever. Creating that time, creating that space for therapy is so important, especially when things can add up and schedules can pack in and just make you feel overwhelmed.

When you're alone, do you talk to yourself? Like, do I have an internal monologue? Like, no, because I'm talking to myself in my brain at all times, probably. Are you talking out loud? I never talk out loud. I picture you to be somebody who's talking out loud at home.
The only time I like have an internal monologue is like if I take in like an edible or something. Wait, so you don't talk to yourself in your brain? No. It's just nothing? I just talk out loud. I talk so much out loud that I need some peace and quiet in my brain so I can't also take up quiet time with talking to myself. But when you're alone...
And you're like watching a show or something. No thinking. Sometimes if something really crazy happens, I'll have like an audible reaction to it. Like, what the fuck? Right. Like, Erin, how good are you? Yeah. But it's not in here. No. People have asked that. Yeah, I always have. My brain's always going. Yeah, I feel like it's a debate people have. Some people just have, like they're just going. I feel like I always constantly have thoughts or thinking in my brain. You constantly have thoughts? Yeah.
Yeah, well, thoughts I have. No, but like... I always have thoughts, but I'm not... Sorry, I'm not wording correctly. I'm not constantly talking to myself in my brain. Okay. I'm just constantly thinking about something. Yes, okay. Like some people... Correct. ...are sometimes not thinking about anything. Okay. No, I always think about stuff, which...
it's actually a problem because that's why i do so many like like i'm always doing tasks and busy working shit because an idle mind like will drive me crazy yeah so that's why i'm always doing stuff to like try and like you know keep my mind busy keep it sharp keep it sharp man yeah keep it yeah keep it keep it tight keep it right um is yellow your favorite color um it's not i just figured i just realized very recently that i could match green with yellow
Yeah. Because your watch also has yellow in it. Yeah, that's, I mean, you know, it kind of goes with the whole like banana thing. You just thought that about green and yellow? I know that you can imagine. I'm really bad with, I'm really bad with fashion. Yeah. You wouldn't know it based on- You wear a lot of like Johnny Bananas branded merch. I have to.
Don't you guys wear Barstool merch? Yeah. Okay, you have to. It's your brand. We wear our own stuff. Yes, you wear your own stuff. No, I respect it. You have a good matching going on right now. Yellow shoes, yellow watch with the yellow shirt. I picked this out myself. Yeah, but I didn't know you could match green with yellow until actually last season. Michelle on the show was wearing green with yellow and I'm like, oh my God, you can find that. You're like, wow, that works.
Nobody told me those colors look good together. I'm not even kidding. Sometimes if I have a shirt or a pair of pants I haven't worn in a while, I'll literally Google gray shirt. What pants should I wear with a gray shirt? I respect that, though. At least you're thinking about it. He's going to say, at least you're thinking about it. When did the pinky rings come into mix?
When I became a mafia made man, they said this is something that you're going to have to wear. Yeah, so ever since then. Yeah, so now I'm kind of stuck doing it. Like if I take them off.
I might get whacked. Does anybody in your family wear pinky rings? No. They should start. My grandpa wears one. It's a strong move. That's pretty sick. I need to get one. I mean, I lose a lot of my stuff, so I didn't want to buy anything too expensive, but I need to get one with like a diamond in it or something. Yeah. He's got like a... Is it gold? Yeah, it's gold. That's sick. It's got a...
I think it either has just an M or like all three of his initials. Oh, that's pretty sweet. My brother has his eye on it.
He should. They have the same name. How big are your grandpa's fingers though? Small. He's a small man. Okay. He's a small man. I'm picturing it. Because a lot of old Italian guys have like sausage fingers. Yeah, they do. My dad's like that. Like I look at my dad's hands to this day and I'm like, dad, you have like- You're like, what happened here? Yeah. My hands just stopped growing. All the work they were putting in. I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Okay. Wait. I wanted to ask about 40 again because split into eras-
So there's only obviously so many people per era going in. Were you pumped or not pumped about the rest of the people in your era? And were you like, oh, is this good or bad for me? Okay, so there's like multiple angles to this, right? When I first saw the lineup,
I looked at the guys on my squad and I'm like, we're fucked. Okay. Yeah. I'm like, all right. So, and nothing against them. It's just they all, their body of work is, I mean, you have Ryan and Brandon who have not been on a challenge in a while other than like all stars. Because you're also going, if you're going off errors, you're also going by age. Yep. That's true. And I literally, when I looked back and I saw, wait a minute, in my era, so seasons 10 through 20,
like I really carried a fucking massive torch because I didn't really have a lot of role players to help me from my era through that. There wasn't a lot of big names or big faces in my era that, you know, helped me kind of like carry the torch through that. But then when I realized, I was like, wait a minute,
I might be having to go into eliminations against my own era. Then I was happy again. Cause then I looked at era one, CT, the rel, Derek, Brad, no thank you. Yeah. Uh, you know, dude, era four, you've got Theo, Kylie, um, uh, Horacio, uh, era three, you got, you know, Jordan, um, Leroy, Tony. So I'm like, all right, this is great because if I have to go into eliminations, these are obviously the guys I'd rather go in against, uh,
Then I looked at the females on our squad, which are like the goddamn Avengers. Right. Laurel, Emily, who came out of retirement. She, you know, she's been cruising around the United States in a van with her cat. So I'm glad she came back to the challenge. Love you, Em. Laurel, Cara Maria, Kellyanne. Like, stacked, dude. Like, I don't think there's ever been a female squad that's that strong. And a lot of times on the challenge,
the females are what help you win. - Laurel was super intimidating. - Yeah, dude, only TCR this season. So our beds were right next to each other this season and this is the first time I've spent as much time with her. We've always been friends.
But this is the first time her and I spent the amount of time we did together. And dude, it's so funny. Who did she date again? Was it Cara? Nicole. Okay. I was like, it wasn't Cara Maria. It wasn't Cara. They've got a very tumultuous, up and down, volatile relationship. Then there was a past season somewhat recently that she... And I think it was...
She had like a fling with them. Yeah. Nicole. No. No, there was somebody else. Jordan? No. Bear? It was one of the new guys. One of the new? Newer guys.
I could be talking out of my ass right now. Yeah, maybe. But I think it was Laurel. Didn't she and like Horacio have like a- Yes, that's right. And like it was like, I was kind of like, this is a weird dynamic. Correct. They had a- Totally. It was one of like the- That was on Ride or Die. Yeah. Yeah, they did. They had a little thing. And then-
Yeah, there was a lot of canoodling going on in that season. Yeah, there was. There was. Was there canoodling this season? Oh, my God. Such a horny cast. Really? Not me. Love it. Because I would think, like, I guess...
Now, like with the eras, I'm thinking like they all have respect for the game and they're like, we're not here to mess around. No, every day. Everybody's horny. When you throw them all in a house. No shot. Well, it's funny because you will see there is a divide in the house. It's almost like era one, era two is more like old school. Era three, era four is newer school. We've made all the bad decisions. We've done that. All right. I've touched the stove a couple of times and I had to remind myself how fucking hot it was and not to do it again. So I'm not doing it anymore.
But I like watching other people make terrible decisions and get themselves involved in these showmances that you know are not going to last outside and are just going to be an absolute train wreck.
I love to see them. I love to see. It always adds a good element. And it's always the newer people too because the newer people get so excited. Like I think Olivia and Theo are together. And when I saw that, I saw her like TikToks with him and I was like, oh my God. Yeah, they met on the show. They leave together. She gets his name tattooed on her neck.
Oh my God. After a very short time of dating. But this is okay. And you know what? This is one of the parallels that I was drawing. She's Love Island. Exactly. And this is one of the parallels that I drew to Love Island on the challenge. This is what most people don't understand. It's kind of like, and it's funny because I listened to KFC's One Minute Man. And it's so funny because him and I actually started texting because we both somehow got involved in Love Island. And I was listening to his hot takes on it. And I'm like, bro, you're so right. We call it on the challenge, we call it trauma bonding.
And when you are in a house with somebody for two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, ten weeks, the amount of time that you're spending with these people is the equivalent, like Kevin said, of like 50 to 100 dates that you've gone on with these people. I've been told in the past, it's like once you've spent 100 hours with somebody, it's like your relationship...
It goes from being like, oh, yeah, you know, we can hang out one weekend and I can not hear from you for a week and it'll be fine to what are you doing? Who are you hanging out with? Like, I actually have feelings for you. If I see with somebody else, this is going to be a problem. Yeah, that happens so quickly on these reality television shows. And it's by design. Yes. And you become so close and then you start feeling like these emotions that you have are so real because on top of the amount of time you're spending with them, there's also this element of like,
emotional pressure and strain and psychological pressure and when you're with somebody going through that it like and then there's intimacy involved it bonds you in a different way so and also being cut off from the outside world exactly like you have no access to the outside world they're all you have yeah it's the only person you can talk to and you think that because you're in this house together your schedule is the same every day you wake up you hang out with the same people you do the same stuff you're like oh my god we're so compatible
not realizing that, no, this is an artificial reality. Once you're in the outside world, a lot of times it doesn't withstand the test of time. Again, I've learned that the hard way a couple of times. We'll never do it again. But I...
That's why Love Island was like, it's like that on steroids. You know, the challenge does that, but nowhere near the extent that Love Island does. Yeah. It's crazy. It's so intense.
