She won survive in barstool. Three, two, one. I'm scared. Oh my God. That sounded like a bong.

Holy shit. I won't go. Wow, that was so much. That was so much more than I expected. That's okay, honestly. I think we only need one. Guys, I'm so sorry for everybody's ears. You might have to mute that. It's on my head. I thought it would be. Remember I said, is it going to make a loud noise? Oh my God, there was so much more confetti in there than I thought too. It's like the little round ones. Yeah, that's a lot of confetti. Yay, though.

though. Wow. Oh, yeah. Yay. Finally, we can fucking talk about this. Oh my God. I mean, I'm just, I'm honestly super excited. Champagne shower. Super pumped up that I won. Like, I couldn't be more proud of myself. Cheers.

No, I couldn't. I couldn't. I'm going to do it, but I want to take the right moment because I don't want to fuck up this confetti. Well, give the listeners a warning. I will. I will. Because that was a much louder pop. People are going to think something way different is happening around them. I know. I'm just, I'm super excited. I feel so accomplished. I went in there wanting to win and I fucking did it and I wouldn't change a single thing.

thing that I did in that show. I wouldn't change a damn thing because if I change anything, there's a good chance that I do not come out of this as a winner, but I did come out of it as a winner and I'm super proud of myself. And thank you to everybody at Barstool once again, like amazing, amazing production. It was super cool. The cast was incredible. Like the fact that like we got to be on a show with like all of these people, like it was insane. Like

I know I voted Arian Foster out, but I was like, Arian Foster's on this? You know what I mean? My dad flipped out about that. He was like, Arian Foster's on this show? It's insane to wrap my head around that this is actually something I did in my life, and I will look back on this years and years from now and be like, holy fuck, that was so fucking cool that you did that. And like, you know, when I have a family one day and open up my survivor box, I got my outfit. These are the shoes I won in. I wore them today. Hell yeah. I open up my box. You open up the box. There's one thing.

from Tommy John. Yeah. Because I wore the same set. I wore the same set every day. No. And I have my, I have my winning set at my desk. I'm going to open, I have, I'm going to have my, you know, those bandanas that we wore around our necks. Like I'm gonna have the whole box and be like, yeah,

your mom did this. Like I did this, like it's gonna be like, it's just an amazing moment to look back on. And I'm gonna take the moment to feel super proud of myself and just fucking soak in the moment and celebrate because I beat 23 other people filled with athletes

and internet personalities and fucking multi, multi, multi millionaires. Our boss, Dave Portnoy, I beat him. Let's not forget that. I beat Dave. Great alliance though. Great alliance. I'm very, very thankful to Dave because honestly, he did help me out along the way with our alliance. Like, you know, we had each other's backs and we fucking made it through. Shout out Mubi too. Strong alliance there. Mubi, sit on it. I remember actually one day...

One morning. I love Mubi. One morning. Me too. After I got mad at Mubi for telling Taylor LeJuan our plan. Yeah. And I told Dave. Dave came into our room in the morning and me and Mubi were still in bed. And he goes, Mubi, you figure out how to play the game yet or are you just going to go, chicken Caesar salad? And she goes, Dave, I'm still sleeping. I was like, this is actually...

It's a sitcom. No, it was so fucking funny. All of it. The fact that everyone's walking around like, add the shower.

It was very intimate. I'm just thinking of the funny moments of all of us living in this fucking office together. I can't get over that we did that. Those made the tough times worth it. Those funny moments made it worth it. We're going to look back on this and be like, I can't believe we lived this life at Barstool and had these incredible moments. And not just the incredible moments that we've all had with work and here at Barstool, but this...

seriously was one of the coolest things I've ever done. And I just couldn't be more thankful and I'm so excited. And I thank you guys so much for supporting me and thank you to all the girls for supporting me. I love you guys and I hope I don't embarrassingly pop this around. Hey! Congrats, friend! Yay! I did it! I did it! Where you going? You're going to the world! Yay!

No, you should be. I know that, you know, it is so hard. And I know I keep harping on about how, like, I did them before and it was difficult and whatever. Like, it is no fucking joke. And it was your first time. You're coming out. You're in it to win it. You played it. You did your best. I'm so proud. I'm really, really proud of you. Thank you so much. Agreed. And I think that it's just so exciting. And you have to enjoy it. You have to soak it up because it is such an accomplishment. And don't let anybody diminish that. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Yay!

Wow. Wow. There is so much to say and also don't even know where to begin. There's so much to say. Like, honestly, not being able to talk about this for months. Months.

I mean, like the chunk of my brain that this show took up from the moment I stepped foot into that office until now has been quite a large amount. And I am so happy to just sit here with you guys in this studio and just like,

Chicks in the office. We got our chicks listeners. And like this is back where I belong. You're home. I feel at home. I feel safe. I feel safe here. Where's my guy? But yeah, I won.

I won surviving barstool. Sure did, honey. I won surviving barstool. Handily, I might add. And I mean, I guess I'll say some thank yous to start off. I feel awkward right now. I want to say thank you to Kelly first because Kelly had my back so fucking hard. Like, no.

No other... I mean, I can't even put into words how hard Kelly had my back. Truly, when she got back to that house, she had my back. She had my back during the finale. She's had my back as long as I've known her. And so I couldn't be... No, it's true. And I think people... I don't know why they didn't realize we were so close. I mean, I think... You know why? Because no one cares about anyone but themselves. And they don't think about anybody else. And they can't see it. It's just...

That to me is crazy Like we spend We spend a lot of our Free time together A lot Outside of work So it's like crazy That no one knows Yeah And I don't know Going into it Kelly and I And you wrote a blog About this It was like

you know, we would help each other until it became like, you got, you know, you do what you got to do. And we had many of talks after the show immediately. And we've been good since, even though people have tried to get us into fights, it's not going to happen. We don't engage. Up until the last second. Yeah. They tried. It's important. He's trying to get us to fight. I'm like 50 yard line. And like, we,

Yeah, whatever line it is. Sorry, you know. But we just don't engage because we're so much closer than that. Like a lot of the guys, you know, they're close, but it's like Kelly and I are actually super close friends. So like we actually talk about this stuff with each other like behind the scenes and have had these talks. So we were like, fuck it, we're not going to engage. So I want to say thank you to Kelly because like you had my back so fucking hard and I appreciate it.

so, so, so, so much. And I will have your back a hundred percent. I'll fucking kill anybody who comes after you because enough is enough. Like it's just enough already. Thank you. Thank you to the chicks listeners who honestly, when I said in the beginning, when I was like,

hey guys, watch Ivan Borstel. Like, don't be afraid to root for your girl. Like I knew what was coming. Yeah. And I was like, you know, hopefully like our listeners will be there watching, supporting. And you guys have sent me the nicest messages of all time. You love reality TV. Like we love reality TV. Keep them coming, you know. Always keep them coming. She could get some more. You could never, you could never have enough. And that I think is true. We talk about this all the time, but the,

You can never have enough nice things. Nobody wants to say nice things. Yeah, yeah. People say bad things, but when they do say nice things, you're like, oh my God, wow, this is great. Well, I had some girls message me and they were like, I don't usually message people, but I feel like, and I was like, no, you have no idea how much this message really does mean to me right now. So thank you, thank you, thank you to the Chicks listeners who showed me nothing but support. Like, I couldn't be more appreciative of you guys.

And to talk about Surviving Barstool and like winning it all, obviously I played very, very hard. I played dirty, but I went into it like...

I thought that everybody was going to play like that, truly. And I thought that, you know, everyone understood the game. Here's the thing. They wanted to... You played dirty. You played the game. No, totally. You played the game for real. Everybody does want to be that person. And then they're like, oh, she played dirty or she did this. It's like, no, she just made moves that you guys didn't think about making. Yeah, and I guess that's the difference between playing dirty versus playing just the game. I really just played the game. You played smart and they couldn't handle it. The guys couldn't handle it. No, it's just hindsight. Like, they...

they want to look back at it and be like, oh, we, yeah, they didn't do it. Yeah. If they wouldn't be on the other side. Could have been, you know. And I wouldn't change a single, single move that I made on that show. I wouldn't take back a single thing. Even, you know, the last couple episodes,

Dave was mad at me in the episode. People got mad at me online about the celebration with Rico. I really like, I was really proud of myself. I thought it was hilarious. Honestly, I'm watching it back. I was like, oh my God, I turned into a monster. Who the hell is that? But I really was like really proud of myself for making such a big move. Rico was going on in the beginning of the show saying it's a man's game. It's a man's game. There was a lot of talk about the girls can't win. And I was like, fuck you. Like I'm playing smarter than you right now. And like my emotions just like took over and it was,

And I just, I don't know. I think, no, you're right. There were so many times in the show, like, you know, it's so hard to watch these shows back after experiencing them and being like, this wasn't shown, this wasn't shown, whatever. Yes. The entire time, the girls got ragged on, like, the entire time. Like, it was like, oh, bro shit, bros this, boys the boys, the boys. So in the end, when it was all girls, it was like, I was pumped up. The fucking girls.

are here. I was like, yeah, we're here. I was really pumped up about it and I felt really proud of myself and I was like, you know what? I'm going to brag a little bit and that's what I did and, you know, I bragged a lot and obviously, you know, watching it back, I got like the ick from myself because I'm like, why are you patting your side? Like, you're fucking... I don't even know what that move was. You know, you guys, what movie am I thinking of where like there's like this...

who goes like, he's like, God, I don't even remember the line. Something like, really like, past his chest. Yeah, I don't even know what I was doing. Come on, bubble! I don't even, I have no idea. But it's a very like, I don't even know what I was doing. It was just in the moment. It was fine. It was the heat of the moment. You were like, pfft.

Yeah, right. It was hilarious. And it was a great move. Here's the thing. I saw Rico as a threat. I told him that. Rico fucking threw his jousting stick at Dave while Dave was lying dead on the ground and put his muscles over him. Everyone's bragging about things. Rico almost punched Dave in the face in the middle of the game. The reference, sorry, I don't have much. The reference I was thinking of was, and she's the man, when the little kid goes, back of the line, Buffy.

Yeah, that's because She's the Man is my favorite movie. I must have gotten it from that. Like, watching some of the things I did, I was like, who is that person? Yeah, yeah. I'm like, who is that doing those things? Rubbing his shoulders. Yeah. I think it was obvious that, you know, in the finale, I had kind of...

Once I got to the middle of the game and I started realizing, oh my god, I have a shot here, I really just thought about everything that I've gone through at Barstool and I really took it upon myself. I was like, I have to win this game. This is my redemption on everything that's happened here. I have to beat Dave and Dan. I said it on camera. I said it in the reunion. It didn't get put on the show, but I was like,

My goal is to make it to the end with Dave and Dan and beat them both. Like that would be sweet victory for me. Like that would really like, and I just, my head was in it so hard. I mean, also like I honestly, I really was acting like I was on the real survivor, like on a tropical Island. I was not sleeping at all.

At all. I was not eating at all. I came home. I lost 10 pounds that week. I had to go get an IV because I truly was acting like I was on a fucking island somewhere. Like I went so hard into this game. I mean, also it's $250,000. It's a life-changing amount of money for a lot of people. So it's like...

I played so, you know, I was so, so, so in it. And I'm proud of myself. And I'm proud of all the moves I made. And I'm a lover of reality TV. And I put my all into this reality show and this game. And I truly took it as a game. Yeah. And I know people have taken it to, like, acting like it's not a game. And, yeah.

That's the only thing that, like, if I'm being completely honest and, like, you guys know this is how I feel, like, I really just care about, like, our listeners, our Trix listeners, like, no.

knowing who I am as a person and like they listen to the show three times a week I hope they know who I am as a person and like don't watch this show and go oh my god like she's actually this evil person in real life like that's yeah I don't act like this in my day-to-day life like I'm not like I also did not think you were acting evil in the show at all I do think that there are some editing things that they chose to do for the sake of the story because I do think towards the second half of the game

you were dominating and I do think it became like very clear. I mean, I knew obviously what happens, but like watching it and just from seeing some of the people's reactions and stuff, I was like, they are gonna have to try and manipulate the audience a little bit to try and throw people off the scent of Rhea winning because-

Even when there was like seven or eight people left, I was like, I feel like she's a clear front runner right now. And so I think that they, you know, they edited some things to kind of make it look like you were not like... I think they tried to make it look like, give you a little bit of like a villain situation. So that may be like, oh, they're not... Because...

probably wanted it to yeah they're not gonna vote for it they want that they wanted these moments in so that it looks like oh she's like whatever and and then the the jury's not gonna vote for her so i think that they did kind of try and throw that that stuff in there too and i understand that i because i understand like reality tv like yeah you have to kind of throw people off the center or else there's no fun watching it i totally totally get that the things that they showed did happen like it

It's not like those things didn't happen. But there are also other things that are not in there. And like, I got a couple messages being like, you know, like a girl wrote to me, like, I feel bad for you, but it also seems like you're being mean to Megan. I'm like, no, no. Like that actually like couldn't be further from the truth. Like Megan and I had so many one-on-one conversations for hours, like her consoling me, me consoling her, like,

so much of that. Um, and that wasn't shown obviously because that's like not going to be shown cause it's nice. And obviously that's not like going to fit into, you know, a narrative and towards the finale, it seems like, um, me, you know, it's like, Oh, Megan's alone. And it's me, David movie. Megan was, Megan was in, she wasn't, Megan was also in that, in the kitchen. Like what,

when they're showing like those shots of like me and Mubi you're like Dave Mubi and me like Megan was also there and like I think you know they're editing a TV show I think it goes with Megan's speech like because like they edited that to make it match up with Megan's speech of I did this on myself because once again they want there to be some sort of mystery and who's gonna win but I know that Megan does not feel that way about me trust me like I know that for sure not at all but it's

It sucks when you get those messages and you think, oh, people like... She also, too, by the way, let's not forget, she's playing the game, too. She's manipulating, too. Like, the way that she said certain things and they showed her saying certain things were, like, to tip the scales in her favor. Like, she was playing just as hard as the rest of us. I mean, she's got her fucking ear underneath the door trying to listen. She's a chromo.

of you. Everybody's trying to get a leg up in some way. And me and Megan are so cool. We talk all the time. She's fine. She's completely, like, it just, it, um, it just sucks when you get those messages and you're like, aw, like, now people think I'm like this mean girl and like, that's

that's not who I am, but I know my friends and my family, you guys know that. And like the, hopefully our listeners know that. But at the end of the day, like I don't want to dwell on that because I know like people know me for me and they are followers and people who have stuck around, like know who I am and they know that this is a game and they know it's a reality show. So I don't like to dwell on that because it's not, I wouldn't change any, anything of what I did. Like I wouldn't change it at all. Even all the crying. I'm a crier. I'm a crier. We know it. I'm a happy crier.

I'm a sad crier I am a crier yeah I am a crier it happens I am not ashamed of crying watching you know like the um like me holding my chest looking like I can't breathe you know I didn't

Love that. I said they included every single moment of each of us crying the whole week. Maybe they didn't have to include literally every tear. Yeah, right. But yeah, it was a high stress environment. This is also too, I think that like...

It was extremely high stress. We know all these people. We're thinking about long term, long term ramifications. We're thinking about how people are going to perceive us. We're thinking about a lot at once on top of playing your best game possible. And it's just a lot to think about. And you're not eating. You're not sleeping. You're running around all the time. There's, I swear to God, not one second of time from when your eyes open and

Until your eyes are closed That there is not a camera In your face And there's also cameras While you're sleeping While you're sleeping High stress You're being followed Even when we went Into the bathroom Girls followed us in With cameras To make sure we weren't So like there was a camera With us at all times Besides a shower So obviously I've never That was the only place You could go Yeah you can only go In the shower Without a camera

And so it's like, you know, you never done something like that. I mean, I know Kelly's done three other shows, reality shows here at Barstool. I've never done one. So, you know, having that, like being followed with a camera 24-7, like even when you're sleeping, you know the cameras are watching you sleep. And, you know, I was so in it, I couldn't even stomach any food. I literally couldn't get a morsel of food down my throat because I just wanted to win so bad. ♪

All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one protein bars. One made protein bars perfect with one Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Lovers and one Hershey's Cookies and Cream like the one I have in my hand right now, the box.

18 grams of protein and only 3 grams of sugar. Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lovers protein bar is made with Reese's Peanut Butter and only one Hershey's CNC Cookies and Cream protein bar is made with Hershey's Cookie Bits.

One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. So try the new One Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's Protein Bar and the One Hershey's Cookies and Cream.

It was awesome. Like, in hindsight, like, it's crazy. Like, I have so many emotions about the show. Like, I have so, so, so many things to say and so many emotions about the show because it was such an incredibly cool experience. And to do it with the cast that we had, like, these big-name personalities, also, like, beating all these, like, football players, hockey players, Dave, like, you know. I think this was the best one to win. Like, this is the one you wanted to win for sure, you know? You know, I brought Dave to the end because I...

I thought that he couldn't win. I thought people wouldn't vote for him. Once I, you know, watching it back, I now see that he did have a chance. I feel even better that I beat him and not like in an easy way. And Dave played a great game too. We both use each other to our advantage and it worked out for us. We stuck together, you know, the whole time and that worked in our favor. Um,

and it was, it's just, it was such a cool experience and the crew, the production, like did such an incredible job, like thinking how they put together this show and they edited it so fast. Everything they've done is so incredible. Like the, the games they put together, the challenges, the setup of the whole thing, the fact that they were able to film 15 episodes in seven days, um,

Like there were some days that we filmed three episodes a day. So it's like, wake up. And I talked about that in the reunion, like being so emotional about Will Compton's text, which we and Will have. I was going to say, I would, I bet there's probably a few things that people would love your perspective on. And one of them is, I was going to ask about Will's, Will's text, because I think,

the viewers thought Will was maybe doing it from a place of like trying to help you. He was. So he says after the fact. I'll say that as well. So here's why the Will text kind of sent me over the edge. And now I feel like I can speak so much more freely. So nice. So off my shoulder, I could truly explain things because I've had to tiptoe into explaining certain things. The Big Cat text really, really,

honestly is what sent me into a spiral yeah and that happened Saturday morning and I did I really did not like how he was saying to me because you know I've had my past with big cat and there's some shit that's happened behind the scenes that pissed me off whatever I think I made that pretty clear yeah um

And I was willing to work with him on this show because I knew that it would work in my advantage and he knew it would work in his advantage and it was the perfect secret alliance. And I was kind of like, you know, we could put past shit behind me and like do this and it might be nice. And then I get these texts and I'm like, God damn it. Like, why couldn't it just be nice? Why did it have to turn into if you and I think people are kind of just like rolling past this, but like to film a fake scene and and like

do like uh if you he wanted to quit so bad and he was like if you if dave votes out megan or rico instead of me i will not vote for you in the end and i'm like what like what are you i can first of all i know me and dave are working together so closely

when he goes in that room i'm not following him into that room to see what he writes down like how am i supposed to control what he's going to do that moment i know he's gonna know if he's lying or not because again he's playing too yeah i'm like i'm like i know he's gonna vote big he's telling me about big cap but like how's that my control and you're not gonna vote for me in the end if you don't go home it's not it's like the opposite where people really also shows how much power that these guys knew you had yeah and like um

it's like, if it was the opposite, where like, if you vote me out, I'm not voting for you in the end. Like, yeah, that's how some people play survivor like that. Like you screw me over. I'm not voting for you to win in the end. Yeah. This was opposite. It was like, if you don't send me home, I'm like, what dude? And like, well,

Well it wasn't just that it was if you don't send me home And then also make it look like you backstabbed me So I don't look bad No no he didn't want me to back He was like I'll only vote for you If you make it look like you didn't backstab me And I'm like but you're asking me to send you home So how But how is it going to look like I didn't backstab you If I'm sending you home that's me backstabbing you So he's like he wanted it to be like a clean exit Right I think he wanted it to be like

you can't fire me, I quit type of situation. Like, I think he realized everyone in the house was mad at him. Steven Baldwin on Armed Forces. Armed Forces. I can't be injured for my next gig. It, uh...

It just, he knew everyone at the house was mad at him. And I think he thought he could win in the end, even though he said he thought he couldn't. I think he thought he really could. And once he realized that everyone really, really, really was mad at him, he thought, oh, fuck, I actually can't win in the end. I want to get out of here so I can't get embarrassed in the end. I think that's like kind of had something to do with it. Whatever. So that I was dealing with all that in the morning. Right. Then we send Big Cat home as soon as I walk off the set.

to get my phone, because we got our phones taken away. As soon as I get my phone, I have a text from Will Compton. And I'm like, these, like, and I just read it in a way that was like,

Because he was calling Marty and like I think he texted him too and was like what a dumb move sending Big Cat home. And in my head I was like they don't fucking know that like he begged me to send him home and I didn't tell anybody at the time. I didn't end up telling anybody until the finale. Nobody in the house knew. Dave didn't know. I did not tell anybody until the finale. Will's tone was rude. Like it wasn't like he says it's helpful and whatever. I just read it in a different way. The way he talks was like you better do this. I knew that.

I knew he was trying to help, but I just read it. It's just the headspace you were in. The headspace I was in, I was like, and then he's calling Marty, telling him it's a dumb move that I sent Beckett home. And I'm like, this guy doesn't even realize like what's happening over here. Like,

Big Cat, like he begged me to go home and I didn't want to tell. I was confused if I was going to tell anybody yet about the quitting situation because then it ate me alive and I was like, why am I keeping this in? Like this is part of the show. Like it's going to make no sense. Like people are going to be so, whatever. So I kind of obviously like everything just started getting to me that day and then the

And then it was the Rico and it was the Kelly went home too. And I was upset about Kelly going home. I also was saving myself and I also knew Kelly was going home. And like, obviously I felt horrible. And like, well, it had come to the point where, where you couldn't help me. I w I needed to help myself and I wasn't able to help myself. And that was the end of it. Like that was, and I wasn't gonna, you know, people, people say that it was like a dumb choice, but like at this point too, like,

It was girl power. I wasn't going to vote for Mubi because I was like, I'm not going to be the one bitch in the place that's like ganging up on the youngest girl here who is new to the place. And I didn't want that. And I needed immunity. And I didn't have it. And I knew. The writing was on the wall. There was no surprise for me going into that. I didn't feel backstabbed. I didn't feel betrayed. I just knew that that had been up to me and I didn't get immunity when I should have. And so I was going home. It just sucked.

Obviously he's not going home But it was nobody's fault Right And I just felt horrible Because I like was I know you can see I start crying When Kelly goes home We laugh about that all the time I'm like Oh yeah we were so dramatic Like we're going off to war Like sending Kelly off to war I'm crying like as You know Me too But in that moment I thought

I had to get Rico's idol out. So I voted for Rico because that was a move there. Which needed to happen also. Needed to happen. And I also said this, I don't think they put it in. I was like, I see Kelly as a huge threat. Like she's my closest friend, but I also see Kelly as a huge threat to beat me in the end too. So it's like, that also comes into play as well. And I hadn't really done, like I was, I was like,

Traveling smoking mirrors and didn't vote A lot of people out at that point The only person really that you can Maybe accuse me of was Jerry I floated the idea for Jerry but then he was in the jury so who cares It didn't matter So yeah Kelly has a good chance That's also a part of it too There were so many So then that happens and then the Rico thing happens And Rico goes home at night That all happened the same day And that was Saturday so that was six days in

That was the day after the pink wedding, which was torturous. Absolutely brutal day. They didn't give us lunch on purpose. They literally, we started filming at like, because I look back at the timing of it all. And we started filming at like 1130. So we had like a, we had breakfast, started filming 1130. We're all like, it's a little late in the day for this. And then it was going on to like 430 at night. No food in between. It was, you know, get me, get me. I thought I was going to.

I truly thought I was going to faint. They had a medic come. Like they, this is actually not true. They had a medic come because I thought I was going to faint, which was so ridiculous. And,

Well, they needed that medic there. He just gave me electrolytes, which was funny too. Yeah, yeah. They needed the medic there because, you know, Francis had a concussion. Concussion, yeah. It was, I think Big Cat almost all, like he almost had a concussion too. Everyone was like on the verge of either a panic attack, a heart attack, or dying, concussion, like there was something happening with everybody at some point. And, um,

I was throwing up. I threw up every day. Yeah. And nerves anxiety. Nerves anxiety. And it just got crazy. And like, I started when it got to the end, I was getting...

I was getting crazy. I was sleeping or not sleeping because I couldn't sleep but I was playing like high frequency manifestation music in my ear every night because I was like I can't sleep but I need something to calm me down. So I would just lay in bed playing this music and I remember one time or towards the end I said it and Dave was like well you're sleeping next to Mubi so you might be playing it for her too and I was like oh my god good point. I was like now I'm doing it for Mubi

it for both of us now. And Mubi was like, I slept no problem. Let me tell you, Mubi slept. Mubi, I love Mubi. I love her energy. She is such a positive delight to be around. But oh my God, I think I was like, Mubi, I'm so sorry. Like, you must think I am insane with how deep I am into this game. And she was like, no, I get it. Because I like explained to her my history. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It must be

It must have been incredibly overwhelming for her too. For sure. Because you're just like confused. No, she wasn't. You're like, I don't really understand what these relations, like all the big cat stuff, Kirk, like saying what he said and everything that happens. Like Mubi's probably like staring at the ceiling like, who are these people? I don't know. I gotta get back to my stump. That's why I was laughing because I was like, if Mubi did make it to the final and had to give a speech, I think she would have been like, it's Mubi.

She'd be like, I made it here. I made it. How about it? Sit on it. It's on top. It was so funny. She had such a positive energy. And I said to Mubi, I was like, Mubi, I wish you knew

the real me like is very goofy and like I'm really not this serious like person and like I have become such as a serious person in this game because like of everything that has gone on here and like I really am like trying to prove something to myself and to the people here that like I am smart like I can do this

and uh it was funny he's like yeah i slept like a baby and i was like oh my god like she was on vacation oh yeah like oh she was like dude no this is fun and honestly props to her for for fucking sticking through it because like yeah she did a great job being thrown into this after you know not working here for a long time must have been whoa like i know that's jarring that's jarring everybody's name no i give major props to movie for handling herself the way that she did um

It there's just so much. I mean me and will are complete like I think people will is bad. I mean like me and will text about it. We joke about it. It's funny. Like

Will's obsessed with the game. Will is... I said Will and Rico need to go to Survivor Rehab. They can't stop talking about it. I think it's tough after you win. They cannot stop talking about it. From a winner's perspective, it's like when you win the first one you do, and then you're just like, you're so in it. It's like such a gut check to be like, oh, wow, okay. I think he had a lot... I think he had to...

I think it was very cathartic for him to watch it back and to be like, okay, this is how it went down. Will was texting me every week being like, I can't believe you went against our alliance. And I'm like, dude, I've told you about a trillion times now. I lied to you. Like I told him in the finale. I told him over text the day of after how much I lied to him and played him. He revealed that he changed my name to his wife's name.

like will you were so deep deep in this in this alliance that we were never even on the same tribe like we like he's yeah and he keeps saying i was gonna help he was like no offense well i didn't need your help like yeah yeah he keeps saying i was willing to help brie that's like thank you but i didn't need your help and i appreciate it but i i you know did it myself and i'm glad i stuck to my guns and i said in the reunion too i'm like if i cut dave in that in those final moments

There are so many different. That's why I wouldn't change a thing because there's a chance I couldn't have won. If Rico makes it to the end, he could have won. If Kelly makes it to the end, she could have won. If it's me, Megan and Mubi, they could be like, fuck Rhea. We're going Megan or Mubi. Like there's so many different scenarios in my brain where I'm like, if I cut Dave now, he's been my line since day one. He could go back to the house and be like, fuck her. She didn't stick with any of us and then start riling them up. Which he, by the way,

He would have done that. He would have stabbed in the back. He'd be like, he got me just like Derry. What was going through your mind when you picked Dave to go to the final? Because I think that's where people were like, whoa, that would have been the chance where it's like, oh, maybe Dave wouldn't, he'd have to go into the duel and see what happens. So there's so many thoughts. I'm like, okay, number one, my whole plan this entire time has to

has been to take dave to the final because i don't think he could win i've trusted myself this entire game i have not fucked up i like i'm still here i want to i want to keep trusting myself i want to stick to my plan because i have had this plan my plan from the beginning was like just take dave all the way to the end um if he goes into the duel and wins that's a win for dave

me saving him in the finale is like here's me saving him again like i carried him his whole way through if he wins that duel he won his way to the finale right i kept i just carried him to the finale he had just won immunity right before yeah and he won immunity so that would have been another one for him content standpoint i knew he was gonna wear the will compton jersey bless you i knew he was gonna wear the will compton jersey if he got in yeah i thought that would have been really funny i'm

So I was like, so then my brain started going, reality TV. I was like, I swear to God, I was like, that's good reality TV if he comes in wearing the Wilcox jersey. And then I was like, that might piss them off enough too that they're like, again, like, fuck Dave. Like, I know he's coming in with this jersey on. He might be like, I can't hand him the winnings while he's wearing this jersey. Like, there were so many things that like, I truly thought they wouldn't vote for Dave.

And I was right. Ultimately, I was right that they did not vote for Dave. And listen. I was going to say, despite all them saying, oh, we would have voted for Dave. We would have voted for Dave. Because when you said that, they all jumped up. Oh, no, we would have. But it's like they didn't. They didn't. They didn't vote him out. They all had the opportunity to, by the way. They could have been. The ultimate would have been at the end if they said, actually, no, you're wrong. We're all going to vote for Dave to win. Which they didn't. And they didn't. And...

Do I think Dave had a shot of winning? Yes, now I do. I do think he had a shot of winning. The whole time, I didn't think he did. Watching it back, I could see the mindset in which they had that they thought Dave was running the show. I think with my speech, I kind of won them over being like, no, like...

he didn't run like he did not run the entire show yes he made he made great moves like no doubt about it he he did his best move is aligning with you yeah and he said all right i'll i like the credit i'm gonna do these things but i also get to kind of low-key keep my hands yeah he said the entire you know the entire beginning he was like rea's making all the moves using me as a human shield which that was what was happening um but he did make great moves the pink wedding of course and um

So he did have a shot at winning. So I think it's even cooler that I beat him because he actually did have a genuine shot. But at the end of the day, I was right that they weren't going to vote for him. And even Whitney, when he holds up, he's like, I just really don't want Dave to win. I'm like, see, exactly. You say you're going to vote for Dave to win because this, but you don't actually want him to win and you wouldn't actually let him win. So ultimately my plan worked in the end and I wouldn't change a thing.

thing why would I why would I yeah it really was the perfect alliance too because

You guys just worked together really well. And Dave contributed in the spots that he needed to. In the pink wedding, you needed Dave's freak mind to just pick people off one by one. And be intimidating all the time. Exactly, because really at that point in the game, it was so one-sided to the other tribe. And that really, in that moment, it was there. But then it was like every other moment, it felt like,

you guys had that mentality of like, we're going to, we're going to make it to the end. And, and there were such clear moves that you made that day was like, okay, you know, like, so it just, and I also made it, it was a good, it was a good relationship. No, it was great. And I honestly made other moves too. Like me not playing my idol. Yeah. Ballsy, like crazy, insane. Yeah. Tap, I guess. Um, tap her.

You know, truly. I loved it. It was hilarious. Insane move. I won two of the immunity challenges. I won the final four challenge, arguably the most important challenge to win and made all those moves in the beginning. So it's, I think we both played a great game. I think Megan, she really shined towards the end with the challenges. Like she's an incredible competitor. Like she should compete on like a, a,

physically challenging show because she is she's great she's awesome at the challenges she was good on my team when we were on when we combined and we were on we had Gilly Tribe um

well we as a team were like unstoppable like we was just yeah we had all the meatheads yeah yeah yeah and me and Megan were very competitive and both like we were really good at showing who could do like where our strengths were lying and she was crushing those too like she was yeah no she was really good you're really great at puzzles too so I also knew me and you like what

the puzzles back to back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you get to that final four challenge, it's me and Kelly with this damn puzzle. It would have been neck and neck there too. The puzzle, that's the first time I saw it was when I watched that finale. I never saw that puzzle, whatever. I want to get my hands on that puzzle bad. That little puzzle. Well, do you not know the trick? Well, I don't want to tell you then.

Well, I think I could tell based on how... Like, again, I'm watching it from the outside. The stress isn't on me, so it's a little different. Not the trick. There's one piece that goes a different way than all the rest of the pieces. No, right. Of course. Well, now I'm telling you what it is. But I heard that I could tell from... Yeah. Which, that puzzle... I don't even know if they showed how long it really took us to do that puzzle, but... I heard about it from the puzzle guy. Holy shit. It was so hard. Yeah. And I kept...

dropping my ball the timer yeah I kept getting a penalty and my whole thing had to drop and I was like I was like come on I was like turn around no I midway through I'm not kidding midway through I thought there's no way I'm like there's no way I'm getting this like there's no fucking way I cannot figure this out thankfully

Mooby and Megan puzzles not their strong suit I actually am good at puzzles apparently I figured out because the puzzle they didn't even show this too by the way because they were giving Francis a fantastic edit of course the puzzle that me and Francis won Francis

steps back from because he's freaking out. And he's like, Rhea, you just start doing it because I'm freaking out right now. And I start putting the puzzle together and they made it look like Francis put that puzzle together. And I watched and I kept my mouth shut because obviously I know how it ends. And I was like, are you fucking serious? The way that they edited this may seem like Francis put together this puzzle but Francis stepped away.

Remember he was Freaking the fuck out What also is crazy Is that Francis went For the rest of the day And days after that That he was still there Like he gave He was like Rhea did that Yeah he kept telling everybody Like afterwards He handed me the trophy He was like You did that Rhea Like he was like Rhea did that puzzle And I'm like I'm watching the show I'm like

Like, oh my God, they made it seem like Francis just like snapped his Harvard fingers and put together that puzzle. It was me who put together that puzzle. It was crazy. Obviously Francis helped, but it was a moment where he stepped away being like, Rhea, you got to do this. I'm freaking out. So apparently I'm good at puzzles. I am an overthinker. So I think that comes into the puzzle play. But that final four challenge was sick. Like winning that, I was like, oh my God, it was like so incredibly cool to win such a hard challenge because it really was so hard. I,

Truly Midway was like, there's no shot that I get this. For sure. When you came onto the screen, we had to watch from the loser house. When you came onto the screen with your immunity around your neck, after arguing with those guys all night, they showed a little bit of the arguing, but...

Once we were drinking more, I think that they stopped. They didn't really include a lot of that. Yeah, right, right. Because we got in big fights the entire night. And they were just like calling me stupid. And I'm screaming at them. And I'm this, that. Me and Clemmer. Clemmer literally was like crying. We were screaming like a huge fight. I'm yelling at him down the stairs. Like all this crazy stuff. But then the next morning, I was so annoyed by all these guys telling me that they knew what was up. And Rhea's this, Rhea's that. And I was just so pissed off. And when you walked in, you walked on that screen. I was smug. I was like, ah, ha, ha.

Ha! Well, yeah. Look at us. That's my girl. Look at her. Thank you. It's like, fuck you guys. No, it's so funny. It was so annoying. That puzzle, so it's building a pyramid and the...

The pieces are stuck together. So you can't like split up the balls, whatever. And it's like Tetris. And yeah. And there's a piece that a pyramid and there's a piece that goes up instead of lays flat. And the reason I figured that out was because I think I kept forgetting that the last piece on top was going to be the ball in the timer. Right. Like I just was like putting it together being like where. And then I was like, oh, my God.

like the last like duh like you idiot and um i was able to figure it out but afterwards when we all talked about it and they were like i don't like dave was like i don't know if i ever would have laid that piece going up like he's like he's like i don't know if i ever would have got to that point i would have been there for days no and and that's the um that's the big kicker with that one which is like

- The 3D puzzles are their no bullshit. So I forgot if I had talked, I don't think I talked to you about this because

I don't know why. Did I tell you how I talked to the puzzle guy? Yes. Yeah, yeah. So the guy who did all the puzzles in the whole show was from Survivor. Like he worked on Survivor. He brought a bunch of these puzzles over and he was telling me about that because he saw us going with the 4D body armor one. And he was like, I think you would have been able to do it. And he like explained it to me like what it was and how it was like basically a 3D puzzle. But like, yeah, the kicker was the piece at the end and having to like figure all that out. And I was like, it seemed...

Like, yeah, like you had to have done puzzles like that before to think it was easy. Like it wasn't if you'd never seen a 3D puzzle where pieces go different ways or like like I'm always building, you know, I've got I listen to my audio books and I'm building 3D puzzles in my house for fun. Like that's so those are the things that you you see those funny twists that they put in. But like if you don't know what the hell you're doing or you've never seen it before, then you could sit there for seven hours. And that happened to me.

on um when I did BVA 2 we had the it sits out there and it haunts me I want to throw that in the trash there's a there's a 3d high noon can that I had to build and I had never seen a 3d puzzle like that before and it like still haunts I couldn't finish I couldn't do it I couldn't figure it out still haunts me to this day it's like they're really hard they're really hard yeah so that was like I felt really proud of myself in that moment you should have absolutely it was really cool and I

felt like smart you know like I think I dumb like no I don't dumb myself down I know I'm smart but I discredit myself a lot for sure seriously Maria please don't cry like you have like every single fucking episode of this show like I can't like why am I about to tear up right now but I think it just goes to show like how emotional I get about it is that like I do put myself down a lot and like I do discredit myself a lot and that's kind of why like I really really really wanted to win and like really prove something to myself and to other people and

is because I am hard on myself. And so I'm very, very, very proud of myself. As you should be. It was extremely well-deserved.

- I do just have to say, and I know that we've covered a lot, and Kelly, you talked a lot about it too, but it is such a mind fuck because you're in it for three, four months. Like yes, everyone's watching it right now, people watch the reunion, things are resolved, things are cool, you guys work it out, back to work. But in those months where you're filming the show and then afterwards, there are hard feelings,

People like hold grudges. It's crazy. And you work with these people. So not only are you afraid because you want to win a shit ton of money. It's a great, it's like such a life changing amount of money. And you're worried about your own job security. It is such a mind fuck. So I think it's so unfair for people to come, and it's guys, men, to come for. Not all men, but always men. Oh, the mental state, the emotions, the crying, whatever. Everybody.

Everybody went through their own shit going through the show. We had people quit because they couldn't handle the game. Yeah, yeah. I'm just saying, like, this is... And I know, like, Big Cat has talked to it a little bit, but this show really fucked with Big Cat's head during this time, too. And it's just, like, people show those emotions in different ways. And you just... You have to work through it. You work through it differently. But there's just no way that, like...

you know that they are grasping when all there is to complain about is that all the girls made it and they're crying and blah, blah, blah. It's just like, they're just, no matter what, they're just not going to root for a woman to win this show. It's like, it's sad. It is, it, it,

Every time it's just like, even when you think things are maybe coming around and then you see that shit, it's just really absolutely fucking ridiculous. And it's the same complaints and it's the same shit and people want to say the same, they have nothing left to say but degrade a woman based on her look

and that's it. Like you played an amazing game. You're either doing that or you're just like, she's literally just a woman and that's why we don't want them to win and we don't want to watch whatever it is. So it's so ridiculous. Rhea, you absolutely fucking crushed it. You played a great game. I know that that is, it is an extra bit of a mindfuck.

While they're all saying, oh, like, well, you killed Dave, you killed Dave. I don't care what they're saying. No matter what, anybody in your position, maybe some of the NFL players because they are fucking NFL players and they're retired athletes. Like, they don't, it's such a different experience. Like, they are coming into Barstool at such a later time. You came into Barstool at 19 years old. This has been your life. You have dedicated your life to it. You are so loyal to it and, and, and,

for some reason, it still doesn't come back to you when it really should. And I think that this, in this moment, it does. And you should be so happy about that because you fucking crushed it. And not only did you work your way through this game, but you worked it with Dave, which is honestly even scarier to do because he is the boss. Mm-hmm.

And he is like, like I said, everyone wants to say, you're working directly with Dave where you know you're having the most conversations. You're talking a lot. You don't know what you're saying. Like in the back of your mind, you're also like, oh shit, I just said that to Dave. He's unpredictable. He's unpredictable too. So it's really like, who knows if you have somebody else, new person you're working with to get out or if who's going to turn on who. It's such a crazy mind fuck. Yeah.

And I think you handled it extremely, extremely well despite the outside noise and everything that everybody has said in the last whatever month plus watching the show. It's you...

You deserve this win. You went in with the knowledge. You went in with the gameplay. You worked over these guys. You convinced them all in your speeches how well you did and what you needed to do and what you needed to say. And yes, you were maybe a little emotional during the speech. Yes, I was. God forbid. God forbid. Burned out the steak. Squeezing a tear. I was emotional. Ridiculous. It's out of this world. You know how many people, and there's men, and I know these men watch it.

who watched The Bachelor and The Bachelorette and these people fucking cried the whole time. Like it's just, the emotions are gonna be there and you proved yourself in every single scenario that you needed to and I just hope you know that we're all so proud of you and your family and your friends and everybody in real life is so proud of you and you know, the people can really go fucking kick rocks. It's like, nothing you could,

could have done in this show would have changed like these commenters minds so like all that's different from now and the start is that you have $250,000 and like one that's what I kept trying to say to her too as the show was going on like it's so hard because you're

It's mentally taxing on you as you're going on. I kept trying to say to you, they're criticizing your game. Oh, she should have done this. Oh, she did. I'm like, don't listen to them because you shouldn't have. You won. They don't know you won. And also, they weren't there. Like the amount of times that I see stuff where people are saying, I'm like, you weren't fucking there. Like, you don't know. You don't know the whole scope of it, how we felt, what

what the conditions were like, what was shown, what wasn't shown. Like it is so infuriating to watch people go off on some fucking soapbox and it's different when people are like talking about reality TV and they're like commenting on gameplay or whatever. But there's another level that's been unlocked online that is such...

hatred that I have never seen in my life and it makes no fucking sense none of us deserve it you especially don't deserve it especially for this this was a fun experience it was exciting it was cool you played your fucking ass off and that's it and and

And everybody else can fucking choke on it. Like, sorry, bitch. I wish you could wave the money in their face. It's so infuriating to see. We should have got money guns. No, literally. Thank you guys for saying all that. It's just so frustrating. It really does mean a lot. And especially the support from you guys. No, I mean, I've talked about this ad nauseum with you both. That...

My biggest fear truly is like our listeners, like the chicks listeners who I care about so much, like seeing this show and going, oh my God, this girl that we've been watching this whole time is like such a bad person. And it's like, no, like I really put on like a face, like a hard face to like win this game. And it wasn't easy. Like I was texting Matt, my family, my friends,

every day being like, I feel so bad. Like, it's not that I just doing things and not feeling bad about it. I felt so bad. I was texting people like, I feel so bad doing this, but this is a game and this is what we signed up for. And I have to just play the game. And I, and I can't, you know what I mean? It doesn't go without feeling bad. You were the one with balls to play the game and to put aside the stuff and not think about the outcomes and, and you fucking won because of it. And that's it. And anybody, it,

especially anybody who played the game with us who try and I said this to them all in the house like they're fooling themselves like they're letting their own egos their own pride get in the way if they can't recognize that you played the fucking game they all could have done the same thing they could have cut all of our throats it could have been a fuck the girls get them all out day one and they never did it's a

game they were all they didn't want to do that they didn't want to vote out dave they didn't want to vote out big cat they didn't want to do any of these things and i and i truly just was like it's a game put on the face like put on that hard face like you're playing it's four girls against 20 guys like you got to put on this fucking stone cold face because if you joke around like they're gonna get you they're gonna think you did nothing and that's what i did and i'm proud of myself and i will say noah um i told him to come watch my speech because he was in chicago at the time i told him it's hour to come watch and noah sent me like the nicest text

after that actually he really sweet no i'm always like hyping up noah's like texas cards and everything but he really did because he has his moments he does and he and he watched it and he said something along the lines like it actually really meant a lot to me that he was like like you like we all knew you had this in you but now the world's gonna know you had it in you which i really like it really did mean a lot and that's what i was talking about earlier like

I wanted to like prove, you know, I feel like I wanted to prove something here. I joked about it at the reunion. You've taken a lot of shit through the years and I think it manifested in a moment that you could finally kind of let it out and get some things off your chest. Yeah, it happened in the, it happened in time. It happened in this. It's a long time coming. It's a long time coming. It's like, it's no matter, like,

no matter how many times you're like oh no i'm i'm okay i'm okay it festers it sits there and then when you get in a moment like this where you're looking all these people dead in the eyes and you have to like talk about your you know you're you're you're making your case here like those emotions are going to come out yeah they were pouring out and i and i also like i've talked about this before but there is nobody better at than matt than at being like that rock who's like

I love you so much. He is rock solid. I love you so much. I support you so much. Don't worry about a thing. You got this. He supported me through that whole week. He's like, you fucking got this. Go kill it. I couldn't be more proud of you. Make those ruthless moves. You're doing this for us. You're doing this for yourself. Be proud of yourself. And he has kept that mentality and has supported me wholeheartedly from, obviously since day one of us being together, but when I did the show and

all the months of waiting of me being like, oh my God, what's going to, you know, what's going to happen? What's going to air? I'm, you know, worried about this and worried about that. And him just always continuously like being that rock, like it's me and you, we got this no matter what, like you fucking crushed it. Like always like really just so supportive. Um, and I kind of be more thankful for him and for you guys, um, for being like truly the rocks in my life, not just

during this, which is dramatic to say, but just like for eight years now, like you guys have always been there for me and I couldn't be more appreciative. And Kelly, I'm ready to fucking kill some people for you too. So. Wow. Please give me both bitch. Like one day I've got like a gun in my hand the other day. It's like, where's my, I'm like,

It's constant. It's the constant oscillation. I know, sorry. I probably can't say that. But it's like... YouTube's taking it out. Sorry, YouTube. Sorry, sorry. I think Gia got mad at me before for saying something similar. No, but it is such a hard thing to navigate. And like, you know...

I've been full time at Barstool not as long as you have been, but I've been in the orbit for just as long. And seeing how it's changed over the years, and I know I say this all the time and I sound like a lunatic sometimes, but it's so different now. And I've never seen people get hate from the people online like the girls do here. And I've been a part of it. I've seen it happen to everybody. And it's like...

it sometimes to me doesn't make sense why it continues to happen and why people don't grow up. Like I thought like, okay, as we get older, like the audience will grow with us and things will be different and whatever. And it's like, they've just ushered in a whole new, a whole new troll. They just got younger. And then it's just, or they just stayed losers. Yeah. No, but I'm actually shocked. Not to like get into specifics, but they're like, there's been times where I use, I see a DM or something like that. Somebody sent me your real, you sent me and I'm like,

That kid's 16 years old? Some of the messages I got, like... It's actually... It's scary. It's concerning. I could do an entire, like, this is not the time and place for it. Yeah, yeah. But I could do an entire, like, just think piece on just... I mean, that's just, like, the state of the world.

Like, you know, same, same. Because I do... And I'm obviously in it so much. I'm in it so much. That young male culture is right now. It's gross. Thanks to some of the leaders of the world and that's just, you know, unfortunate. Completely. And I do want to say, though, because I think this, like, gets, you know, blurred as, like...

people online can be extremely awful but barstool is an amazing place to work at and the people here are very supportive it doesn't matter like barstool as a whole as a company is incredible to work at like i i will say that through and through like i i love my job here i love my place here like it is the opportunities that we all get like and i kind of spoke of this reunion it's like

like we all fight, you know, the show, whatever. But like, we all come back at this place at the end of the day, like as cheesy as that is. And it's like, it's family. And like, we don't get all shit on each other. But if like, if somebody comes at us from outside, then like we're all going to have each other's backs. And it really is such an amazing place to work. And I have seriously loved working here and has only gotten better throughout the years as well. I think too, like the company as a whole has progressed too. And I think it's only gotten better. It's just like the state of the internet.

in which it takes a world of its own and just spirals and spirals and spirals out of control and never ends. But the question, too, is what do you do about it? There's nothing to do. You're helpless to it. I know. I brought it up when we were talking about just...

TikTok and the way things have changed and it's just like there's certain platforms that are just completely different. Rules have changed. Leadership has changed, you know, and it's it has become really, really hard to navigate, which is tough because it is part of our jobs, you know, to be on some of these platforms and to put ourselves out there. And it is it's

It is tough. And Kelly, like you, you know, you wrote a blog about it. I don't know if people have read it, but it's, they have, there's been time and time again recently that I think

have taken heat undeservedly taken a lot of heat and it's it's really tough and really tough to navigate I'm gonna read it because I and I know she won't mind because I talk to this girl all the time in my DMs oh this girl sent me a DM and she was like please send this to Kelly like I don't know if she's gonna see it but like she deserves to hear it and she was just like

I love Keegs. I resonate so much with her. I'm reading her recent blog. I wish I could reach out and hug her. Can you please, if you don't mind, relay the message to her that she is so admired, strong, intelligent, and badass to do what she has done and completely rise above the noise while creating a career around what she loves. I hate these fucking incel men and asshole women who have brought her down. I know I don't either. I don't know either of you, but you guys feel like my friends and I just want Keegs to know that the love is stronger than the hate.

It's really sweet. It was really sweet and I said it to her immediately and I was like, it is. Girls are always nice. I'm never talking about girls when I'm talking about this, but it's like, you see stuff and, you know,

you want to post things like I want to post like my thoughts like I used to fucking love Twitter I used to love like being involved online and talking to people and that was like my favorite part of doing this job no in another world you'd be live tweeting every episode right for this why would you why would you why would you fucking dare you can't it's it's

poking a fork into your eye. No, completely. And it's so dumb. And I know it's like, you know, log off, touch grass, like whatever. Like it's all, whatever. Like I understand that. But when it's been a part of your life and a part of your job and your career and something that like,

I know that all of us wanted to work in something like this, but I didn't work in it for so long and wanted to so bad that when I finally got here, I was like, this is amazing. Finally, I can do what I want. And it was great for so long. And I finally set myself up to a spot where I was happy in every aspect of life. I was like, I can't believe this is me. Here I am. I've arrived.

And then like dumb shit like this happens. And I just, I guess I didn't know the state of the internet anymore. Like I didn't know how bad it got. I didn't know how vile people can be. And when you see...

the same like you see these things happen over and over again non-stop all day it's the first thing you see when you wake up and it's the last thing you see before you go to sleep and it's like you you can you cannot look but then you're not doing your job like you're not interacting with people you're not posting enough like i turn off the comments people this bitch turns off her comments oh i do this she does this like there there is no winning and there's no fighting against it and i can get mad and i can get upset and and nobody cares and it's like

At what point do you quit it all and leave it and just be like, this isn't... This doesn't work. And then if people say, well, clearly this isn't for you if you can't handle this. And it's like, no, this is not normal. No one should be able to handle this kind of shit. Public humiliation. Going on to... Sending...

posting photos from like my OnlyFans back at me, tagging it in other people's tweets at the company that we work at. It's mortifying. Like my parents are online. Like it's my brother's online. Like it's so embarrassing. It's so horrible. And it's not even that alone. Like that's like the worst of it for sure. That's like what makes me want to die. But like the rest of it is so...

vile and personal. It's almost like they're, it's like they look up, they're like, okay, let me go through every tweet she's ever sent, find every insecurity, and then craft a hundred tweets about it and send them all at the same time. And it makes no sense. I sound like a conspiracy theorist or something when I think that technology has a big effect on the whole thing, but

It's overwhelming. And I think that over the last year, it's just, it's really worn me down to a place where I don't want to do anything. Like I don't like, I, you know, I go out with my friends or everybody. I never post when I'm out. Like I'll post my outfits on Tik TOK. That's the most I'll do. And even now I don't do sometimes. Hey, you went viral for having a fat idea. That's true. That's true. That's true. Let's not forget. Don't forget about those sequined pants. Exactly. Nobody forgets, but it is, but like,

That's the kind of thing where it's like I now am suddenly things I would have loved to share I no longer want to share because I'm like well nobody wants to see this anyway. You start to listen when these things happen and it's like it ruins everything. It ruins everything. It's ruined this game for me. It ruined reality TV at Barstool for me fully as of right now. Hopefully I'll get over it. I've tried to talk to you about this where I'm like

Kelly, like, and sort of like what that girl said is like, you should be so proud of yourself. There are people that like so many people that look up to you. Um, like we have to remember that there are so many girls that love listening to Taylor walks. They love listening to chicks in the office. They support all of us. They love talking about pop culture. Like they love talking about reality TV. Like don't let that take away your love of doing like, you love reality TV. You love participating reality TV. Like it,

at the end of the day it all is easier said than done obviously like it's like how can you you know when it's being shoved down your throat constantly but there it's it's hard to always say think of the positives but there are so many people that support you and love you and I have seen it out in public to girls coming up to you I also love Taylor Swift I love Taylor watch like for sure they love what you and Gia do and

continue to do that like never ever ever stop what you're doing never stop being yourself you got to this point by being yourself continue to do that like fuck all these people like it's it's just I don't want you to continue to beat yourself up even though I know it's easier said than done and we've had this conversation you know offline but um yeah you it's hard like it's really hard when you get to that spot but like just keep remembering

You have built an amazing career for yourself. You've been in this industry for a long time. You've been running the game. You're the pop culture queen. You know, we look up to you because of your pop culture knowledge and of what you have done. So it's like, don't,

You know, don't continue to beat yourself up and remember who you are. And you wouldn't be in this position if you weren't that. You wouldn't have this job if you were not successful. You know, like you just have... Right. And I think that that's like... Thank you for saying that. I think that's part of it too is like...

Like, I really felt like I've earned it, you know? Because it took so long. And then for it to be the... But you did earn it. To be the thought. Nobody could take that away from you. Yeah, I know. I know. And that's what I have to remember. And it's just so...

It's just really frustrating. And I don't... And now it's become like... I'm obsessed with it. Like, I'm obsessed with the fact that this happens. I don't... I'm obsessed with not being able to stop it. I'm obsessed with trying to figure out, like, the mentality behind it. Like, it's all-consuming. And it's like, I have to stop thinking about it because it's... Obviously, it's detrimental to me. It's ruining my life. You will never... You will never get the... And I don't... I know. Like, I...

Not to be like harsh about it, but you will never get the answers you're looking for. I know. I know. Because unless you, you know, and what's even worse is half the time, probably 75% of the time, if you actually found one of these people and you would see them in real life and you'd be like, you're a senior in high school. Like, are you good? Like, where's your mom? Like, they're like, oh, we thought it was funny. Yeah.

Like what world? They should be grounded. Like I'm like, I will call your mom. You're grounded. I will call your mother. Like I, it's, it's crazy. And I think there is just a, as much as there is a gang mentality in so many other aspects of life, there is a gang mentality on the internet where it's,

they are trying to get interaction. They're trying to get likes. They're trying to do this. They're trying to say, oh, you see what everybody said on YouTube? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's because they're just regurgitating the same shit because they think that they're these big macho guys. They're going to show you what's up. Of course. And it's really like you...

You're not going to get a logical answer. For sure. Because there really just is not one. So I think... And also, too, it's like I'm not... I also never wanted to be... Because now I'm always paranoid how I come across because people assume the worst. I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm not looking even for praise. I'm just looking for... Ignorance.

Just let up a little bit. Kelly. Just let up on the hate. You know what I mean? Just ignore me. I'd rather be ignored. A majority of our chicks in the office listeners are going to be like, we don't even know what Kelly's talking about. Right. I hope not. No, I really do think that like. And that's why sometimes I'm like, it's better to not even address it because it's like they don't even know because they're living on a beautiful.

Butterfly side of the internet Exactly I wish I was there We were talking about The Matt and Rachel breakup Yeah I wish I was there Which I would love to discuss Yeah yeah we will We will we will Geez After our therapy session Is over Yeah yeah No but I was saying Like they're Everybody in my normal life

Like my friends, like they are, most of them are not actively on X, Twitter, whatever the fuck you want to call it. Neither am I. My friends have no idea what I'm going through ever. No clue. And I have to tell them and then I'm embarrassed, you know? No clue. Yeah. So it's truly like, that's why I'm saying, I don't think anybody thinks that because this has been going on behind the scenes for you for multiple years. Like not just, like years. Yeah. So that to me is,

And they've all seen you continue to shop to work, continue to do your shows, continue to work. So it's like they're not, it's not even going to compute to them. Right. Because you have, you've been consistent. You show up, you work, you're still doing everything that you are, like you like to do and should be doing. So it's a part of our brain that is tough. And I know people listening may not fully understand where we are at and what this is.

does for people and I sometimes do have to step out and talk to the people in my real life and be like okay they have no fucking clue what I'm even talking about so it's like it's like I show Kelly oh I just bought a house oh here's my baby oh my god I show Kelly I don't even think I told you but I was like texting with

I was texting with my friend, Jen, who's been loving the show. And she was like, Rhea's been so great. And I was like, she has. It's just been so tough, like, what people have been saying. And she's like, oh, what have they been saying? That's amazing. No clue. No, that's amazing. It's great. And I was cracking up because the text. And I know, like, she sent to me. She was, I sent her, you know,

She goes, oh, gosh, I guess I didn't think about the Internet because who fucking writes on the Internet? Never once would think to do that. So it's like, no, literally. There you go. That's funny. Like it takes you out of it for a second. But I mean, anyway, whatever. You know, you guys know that I that I'll dwell on these things. I'll be fine. It'll all be fine. Like it's it's brief moments in time. We'll all be fine. We all deserve the best. And it's it's wonderful. But I sorry.

Yeah, that's just like one piece of confetti slowly dropped in front of my face. Oh, the ceiling maybe. Oh, yeah. How funny. I know. I was like, whoa. Wow, that's insane. Sorry, Kelly. Go ahead. Oh, no, no. I saw it too and I thought I was like hallucinating. I thought there was something in my eyeball. Like, you know. But no, but I like...

You were saying before, you know, we've all been around. We've all been together. Like, you guys have always been there for me, too, in these moments where I'm, like, you know, feeling desolate, feeling worthless, whatever. And then also, too, like, the chicks in the office listeners have been nothing but nice to me since the minute you guys started this whole thing. And that means the world to me. You're the best. They're the best. They're the best. We do cut in stems. We put a nice bit on it. Simply the best. Better than all of us.

All the rest. No joke. And I know there's crossover with Taylor Watch. Chicks in the Office fans, it's that being us coming on this show helps us bring people over there. It's like I'm just so happy that the girls here and the guys too, but the girls here specifically, we all make a point to lift each other up as much as we can. And people should, that is something that if anybody takes anything out of anything, always lift your girls up.

You have to do that no matter what's going on because you don't know what's going on. I think it's symbolic to end this conversation on girl power after how that whole thing went down. Absolutely. I agree. Not to really stick it. It's a man's game, though. It's a man's game. I'm going to rip my shirt open with girl power. You know what I mean? I'm so girl power right now. I think all the girls should be so proud of what they did on this show. I do, too. You guys all really crushed it. That is so scary. And it's tough.

when you go into a show with all those guys. And it really is like... And I think it, like you said, ties back into...

where we are just so happy and proud and thankful for our little neighborhood. I love it. I feel home. No, it's literally like when I get to come on here, I'm like, oh, thank God. I know that it's going to be good. I don't have to worry for a second. To come here and sit here today and to feel like I'm not hiding a secret from our listeners anymore is the most freeing feeling in the world. I have felt like a liar. Like I'm coming on this podcast every day and I'm like,

I can't talk about anything. Yeah. And I feel, whoo, I feel, I feel great. And I feel very, very excited, truthfully, to get back into Chicks in the Office, like our thing, like put our all back into Chicks in the Office because I will say like I had been a bit distracted with Surviving Barstool going on. I really was distracted. And I, I,

I'm very, very ready to just jump back into Chicks in the Office for what we have going on this year. I'm very ready to get married. I cannot wait. Like, all, like, super exciting things happening this year, and I cannot fucking wait to get married and, like, just soak it all in. I truly cannot wait. I don't even know what sound just came out of your head. No, I know, but I just, like... I, like, forgot for a second. No, I never forget. It's so exciting. It's all I think about every day. I'm like, oh, my God, I cannot wait to get married, and I can't wait to just...

Just continue doing our thing on this show with the girls who love and support this show. We love them too. They're the fucking best. They're the most supportive group of girls. They're the nicest group of girls. The coolest group of girls. And we love them and we're always so thankful for them. So thank you guys for listening to the show and supporting us. And now we're just going to get back into it because God, am I dying to talk about some pop culture that has nothing to do with myself. I hope you guys even watch Surviving Barstool. Yeah. Yeah.

They're like, what is this show they're even talking about? If you didn't know, we did Surviving Barstool and I won. I won a reality show. So you could either listen to the first hour of the show or you could listen to the last five seconds where Rhea says she did a reality show and she won and move on. Yeah, right. Long story short, we did a reality show at Barstool Sports and I won and now if you don't give a fuck at all.

We will get into The first hour was the director's cut Yeah exactly You can just fast forward that shit If you don't care Amazing We'll do some topics I think we can just roll right into it Because I want to talk about this Okay

What the fuck happened with Matt James and Rachel Kirkconnell? Oh my God. Because I wake up this morning, 6.30 in the morning. I look at my phone. I see a post from Matt James two minutes ago. I'm like, fuck.

post from Matt James two minutes ago. It's 630 in the morning and the post is of him and Rachel Kirkconnell and it's them you know the first time meeting on The Bachelor and the caption is Father God give Rachel and I strength to mend our broken hearts. Give us a peace about this decision to end our relationship that transcends worldly understanding. Shower our friends and family with kindness and love to comfort us and remind us that our joy comes from you Lord with a broken heart. What?

Because people were shocked and confused because they had just been posting all this stuff in London. Yeah. You know, all this food content. Obviously shoving food. So much food. Shoving food in his mouth. So much food. Always. And...

That was just yesterday and there was comments yesterday and then today, 6.30 in the morning, that happens. I don't know what time he was, but what is it, 3.30 if he's in LA? Like, what time is it? Like, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. So it was very confusing. From being around Matt and Rachel, they are...

They are delayed posters. You know, like they... Sure. So maybe London happened over the weekend. London was probably... It could have been a week. It could have been two. There are times when I have run into Matt in different... Or honestly, but like... And I'm like, oh my God, how are you even here? I thought like from your Instagram, you were in like Japan. Like they're just... Right, right, right. You know, like they're...

They delay. They take all their content and they periodically kind of like post it out. Which is smart. Even with stories and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Smart to do that. It's a great way to even just like be in the moment of when they're traveling to all these amazing places. And then, you know, Rachel will do like Instagram story dumps of like when she's traveling. But it is definitely on a delay. But it is bizarre because Matt posted this and then people are finding like...

on the TikTok or whatever, you know, real, whatever he posted yesterday of them together. Like, he was replying to comments. It was like nine hours ago, reply to comment, like all these things. It's like, I'm so confused. Like, is it just in that case? Are you just replying because it's like a piece of content that you put out? So you're trying to get like, you're like, oh, you know, let me just, let me just,

unload the favorites folder of everything that I've got saved that needs to be posted before I put it out. No, she has not posted since and this is what's tough too. She has not posted anything on her Instagram a full post. There's but not one full post since she posted for Matt's birthday on December 5th.

Oh, shit. That is quite a long time. That's a while. For her, especially. For her, that's over. That's more frequently than that. For her, that's like sneaky a long time. Has she been posting stories? I didn't notice. Do you think that? Because there has been stories, yeah. Okay. Do you think that they, Matt was like, okay, I got my last bit of London content out. Now it's time to make the thing. Like, because that honestly would be crazy to me. Like, I got to be honest. Yeah, that would be crazy. That would be fucking insane to me if somebody took the time to be like,

I need to get all my content out and then we can announce our breakup. Yeah, right. There's also so many conspiracies of people being like, well, maybe they're engaged. I don't think that. I do not think that you would. Okay, if let me just say something. That post did not read like, I don't know. And if it's like a fake out. No, no, that's bizarre. Let me just say if Matt and Rachel, who I love, are doing a fake out right now.

they're going to lose me a bit. Like they are going to lose me a bit. Cause that would just be weird. I don't know. Like if they were like, just kidding. We're engaged. Like I'd be like, why did you do this? That'd be so strange. Like I would be like, why did you put like, why would you put like a prayer on this caption? And then just to be like, just kidding. That would be kind of like bizarre to me. I don't think it's a joke at all. I don't think, I don't think it's a joke either.

I don't, the conspiracies, people just don't want to believe that like their favorite couples break up. Obviously you follow their content and you love them as a couple. You love them creating content together. But we just, you know, it's another, it's another one. We had Pave and Craig. Now we got Matt and Rachel and who's left? You're right. Wow. It's just, it's Sam. I don't know. Honestly, like Joey and Kelsey, please.

Please hold on. Okay, true, true, true. They're married, so. Yeah, yeah, we're good, we're good. Oh my God. But, no, I was joking because it's like, oh, Caitlin and Jason, we had on a show, uh,

Craig and Paige we had on a show Matt and Rachel we had on a show and they're some of our favorites love them all I think like Rachel is one of the sweetest girls like I think Rachel is such a gem and Matt is also like Matt's a really great guy as well I've said it multiple times like Matt has been so kind to like my family and supporting like my brother's business and these things that they're like they're good people so I'm like it just wouldn't like any weird person

fake out engagement like I gotcha would be like so out of character for them I think yeah I don't know what the fuck happened I hope something bad didn't happen do people do that because now because it's like him just posting himself too and like nothing from Rachel feels weird to me also yeah it does

I don't know. I agree. And oh my God, my poor mother was devastated. Pray for Laura. Because let me tell you something, every time my mom would see Matt James, she'd look him right in the eyes and go, when are you proposing? Yes, that did happen. So she, you know, and I'm sure there are other people out there that feel the same way she does, but...

No, it sucks because I think they're both really awesome. And I did think that like once you get past that two, three years and they went through a lot on the show and everything that happened afterwards and everything that they've been through and they still seemed like a strong...

Unified front and they were traveling the world and eating through what they were eating through the world eating through every city one bite at a time. No, right. Multiple multiple bites. Some would say the whole bite the whole bite the whole thing. There's no food left. No leftovers left behind nothing. I'm I and I just I know I hope they're okay because this makes me sad. I haven't really posted in a while. I think she had

posted some stories from London as well. Yeah. So I don't know if they were just like, what happened in London? What the fuck happened in London? Maybe it was a, maybe it was a, a dual effort. Like, all right, listen, we're both here. We did all this stuff. We're going through a hard time. Let's give ourselves like a moment to heal. Like Matt is wanting. Did Craig like also go to London? No, no, no. What's going on in London? I was like, what's going on in London? Craig was coming in.

Craig told Matt that him and Paige were coming to London for New Year's. Yeah. And we were like, oh, all right, we'll meet up. And then they announced that the day before and me and Matt were like, oh, guess we're not going to see this. We're not meeting up. Yeah. Oh, well, who knows? You could have turned around the corner of the pub then see Matt and Rachel breaking up. Yeah, totally. It's a breakup on every street. It's true. It's just what's happening. I don't know. I know. I'm actually really sad about that. I'm,

I'm very sad about this All jokes aside It sucks I wanna know We're making light of it Because we don't know What happened Honestly Rachel We're making light of it Because it feels like I'm like are we living In an alternate universe Like what happened Yeah And like I'm so confused By the post That I'm like Like it's like what And Rachel is so fucking cool Like I just wanna Double down on that Like Rachel She's amazing Is so cool

Like every time we're around Rachel, I'm like, she's so cool. And you know, when there's just the girls, they're just like effortlessly cool. She's one of them. She is one of them. She's so effortlessly beautiful. So effortlessly cool. Right. So I just want to know what happened there. And I do not think they're engaged. And I will say this. Yeah. Man, Rachel, if you were pulling like a prank on people in where you're going to be like, just kidding.

ending our relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend. We're actually engaged. I'm going to call you guys lame. And I'm going to say that I think that this is extremely bizarre way to announce your engagement. And you probably could have just announced you were engaged without this whole thing. Now, I don't think that's the case. I truly do think they broke up. We probably could just text them. I don't want to invade in their personal life right now. A lot of people are texting them. Agreed. But, uh,

Matt is a... Where does that theory... And Matt's a bad texter as well. True. I mean, Rachel's not as bad, but Matt has answered texts from me months later. Yeah. Oh, wow. Where he's been like, oh, sorry, missed that. And I was like, oh, I sent that months ago. Right, if you send that text now and you guys ain't, you're gonna be like, fuck. Yeah, right. There was one time I sent him a text... Where does that theory come from that they...

Do people do that? Have I missed this whole wave of people fake breaking up and then actually not seeing anything else? No, no, no. I don't think it's a thing. That's what I'm saying. Who came up with that? It's a grass from the public because they just don't... Because everyone really thought that they were headed to an engagement. So I think it's a grass. For sure, yeah. Because they're confused by the post. There was literally a comment, and I'm going to butcher what it was, but whatever food content was the last thing he posted of him and Rachel, the comment was like,

I don't care about this food. When's the wedding? Like that was like the comment. Right. And he replied back and it was like within the last 24 hours. Yeah. Yeah. Commented back wedding food to the comment, to the comment. Hmm.

Interesting. And I was like, what? No, I can't be sold on this engagement prank. I can't because I'm going to think... I know, I know. It's so crazy. I mean, everybody really is... There's a spiral for sure. I'm going to think it's the most bizarre thing on the planet. No, I agree. And I'm going to have to talk shit about it. That's the thing that I'm going to have to talk shit about it. I'm going to because I just think you could just announce your engagement without having to pull a pull prank. There's no way. There's no way. I know how serious also...

Matt James and Rachel are about their faith like I do not think that that gets posted with that prayer as a joke like I do not think that's the case I think that would be like fucked up I don't like for them because knowing that I don't knowing that how serious they are like I do not think they would do that um so

Honestly, I just hope... I wish the best for them, honestly. We love them both. I really do. We love them both. And I do wish the best for them. And that could not be easy. They've been together for years. If they come to this decision, it's obviously for a reason. Just like with Paige and Craig, you can't stay in a relationship that you don't feel like you should be in. 100%, you should end it. So whatever made that come to that decision, it is what it is. And I hope the best for them. I agree. I agree. There's one other thing I want to bring up. And I know...

I think we should break it down on Monday because I actually really want to read through more of the complaint. We've had a busy day today, so we haven't fully been able to like dive into this new lawsuit from Justin Baldoni, but he is now suing Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds for $400 million in damages, which, you know, it feels like a lot, but you know, I think that's just the name of the game that they're playing right now. I there's text messages, receipts, screenshots, um,

that they have now in this one that I've only like seen certain pieces that I would actually like to go through and read. So I think we can take the weekend. We'll go through that and we can talk about it on Monday. But I do want to mention that Molly Mae's documentary is premiering and...

I didn't know she was having one. Yes. Oh, it's on Amazon. I love Molly Mae. Perfect. And Tommy Fury did an interview this week where he said, I know everyone said, cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater. Molly and I actually broke up because I have an alcohol problem. Like I was addicted to alcohol. I just got chills. It's awful. And was in a bad place and drinking. And I really only saw that 15 second clip, so I don't know too much of what else was going on there. But that really,

really just changes a lot. Yes, it does. For sure. It really changes a lot. And that's a big thing for him to say publicly too because that's tough and if he really is going through that right now as well, I mean, that is really hard. It's really hard on you, your family, your small child that you have now and to have basically the entire world screaming at your face, you're a cheater. Right, and to be so open about it but also be so quiet while you're being...

torn apart by the internet and not address it and sort of just take the time to do what's right for yourself. Like, you know, he's probably been through a lot. So yeah, I'm interested to see what this documentary more, more to come. But on Monday, I do kind of think that this could be not to, not to, this is like a bad thought, bad thought, bad thought. But I hope that it's not used in a way that,

to excuse bad behavior. You know what I'm saying? So that honestly, that's the first thing I thought, I don't want to lie. I have an alcohol problem. Because of that, it led to me

doing things that I regret. Right, right, right. Which I do think, which is fair. Like, and that does happen. And it's like, that is probably the root. It could be part of it. That could be the root of the issue. Yeah, for sure. But if there was moments where like, you know, she sees, if it was like out in the club, drunk, hooking up with other people, like whatever, like that infidelity could be what's the final straw for Molly Meg. But he's looking and he's like, I, you know, I would not have made those decisions if I was not. Yeah.

Under the influence. And I guess that's for them to figure out. Totally. For sure. And also, I mean, all that was such a shock. Like, he just, he seems...

lovely otherwise and so when they broke up I was completely shocked and then everybody's like cheater this that whatever it was shocking people fucking love them they literally like it was it was yeah so I'm sure more will come out about that but I am super super excited on Monday to deep dive back into the world of pop culture we'll get we'll begin right back into it we're gonna look at everything over the weekend and get right back into it on Monday
