What's up, everyone? It's Chicks in the Office with Rhea and Fran, giving you that Friday energy on a Wednesday. Happy Wednesday, everybody. We have a great show for you today. For those who have been keeping up with traitors, we have a big guest on today.

Boston Rob, also if you're a Survivor fan, he was also on Deal or No Deal Island and all the reality shows. He is on today's episode. Super, super excited to talk to him. We also have Pop Corner going to be taking your voicemails. But first, how are we doing on this lovely afternoon? Wonderful. Besides, it's just so cold. Are you getting like middle school vibes though when you step outside and like,

You know, the snow is there and, you know, it's like a little dirty kind of. And you step outside and like just the smell in the air. It smells like middle school. What does that make you think of middle school? Like a snow day in middle school. Oh, oh, oh.

Maybe if we didn't like if we could have stayed home or just like you should have had a snow day but you're getting in the car to go to school. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yes. Like yesterday felt like a half day because no one was in the office and it was just us and it was like snowing. It's just I mean the snow is just it's fun in the moment like I like when it's actually actively snowing in the city but like the day after not fun because half like

the buildings take control of their side box and like half don't. So like it's a dangerous walk to work for me where I'm like if I...

Take one false step and I'm slipping on the ice on the sidewalk. So true. Because it is so cold and people don't ice. Some buildings don't ice their sidewalks. They just let a layer of ice just freeze on top of the sidewalks. So I pack different shoes to walk to work in. That's fair. To change into because it is cold. But it's like...

I see the temperature here. I'm like, oh my God, it's cold. But then I see like how it's been recently in Chicago or like Joe's mom's in Minneapolis right now. Negative one. Oh my God. Real feel. Negative 32. Jeez. I'm like, that's, I just imagine you take one step outside, you're frozen solid. Your body just stops in the air. Like, you know in, is,

Isn't it Day After Tomorrow? Oh, yeah. Yeah, Day After Tomorrow. When they just completely freeze. Yeah. That's what I'm envisioning, like, at that temperature. That would make me want to never, ever step outside. Yeah, I know. You don't want to leave your home when it's this cold. No, you really, really, really don't. It is. Which has been conducive for a lot of, like, inside TV time. Mm-hmm.

That's true. A lot of TV time, a lot of coziness, like cozy food. It's around that time of the year for that. I was just about to say there's nothing better than like it's really cold outside, but your apartment is nice and warm. And then I was going to stop myself from saying. Oh, because I don't have heat or hot water. Yeah, that's the thing that

That's continuing to happen. I mean, we have no choice but to laugh at this, that the coldest week of the year, I don't have heat or hot water. Still, since... I'd be throwing a fucking fit, let me tell you. The heat hasn't been... Our heat hasn't worked since December, and they said that they had to order a part, and...

And that it would take a while to come in. And for our apartment unit, like the heat works in the building. It's just our unit. There's a part in our unit where the heat doesn't work. They said they had to order a part. That was back in December. The part's still not here. They said it probably won't be fixed until like Valentine's Day. I'm like, Valentine's Day is going to be like 45 degrees. At that point, I don't even need it.

And the hot water in the building is still not working. There was a delay because of the holiday yesterday to fix it and get the part. I don't know. We haven't received an update. We haven't had hot water since Friday. It's Tuesday now. So we're sticking with the... It's crazy. Ice cold. Ah, you know, showers. Yeah, it's crazy. Coldest week of the year. But...

You know, we're pushing through. It is. It's making me also, I've had so much soup. I've done nothing, but I think I've had a soup like every day for the last week.

Various meals. It's the time for soup. It really is. It really is. Nothing tastes better than a nice soup on a cold day. Yes. I made chili last night. I sent it to you because you're a big chili fan. I actually ordered chili after you sent me the picture of the chili. Oh, I was going to bring in leftover chili for you today. And then you didn't? I wanted to eat it tonight for myself. I only had one little Tupperware left.

And then I was like, I ordered chili. I was like, I want to have this tonight. I'm going to make sloppy joes with it. With the leftover chili. I'm going to make some sloppy joes. Sloppy joes as a kid was something I was like embarrassed to admit that I ate. Like I ate a lot of meatloaf as a kid, a lot of sloppy joes. Like these are the kind of meals my parents would make. But you like don't go to school bragging about sloppy joes. You know what I mean? Why?

It's just a thing. I know Hannah G has talked about this a lot too online. Like we have bonded about this in real life. Is it because of the name? I think it's just the name of it. I don't even know. It's just a thing as a kid. You get like embarrassed about the stupidest things as a kid. Yeah, that is true. I...

I'm kind of an outlier on the whole Sloppy Joe thing because I don't know if it's like a regional thing or a North Jersey thing. I'm going to need my North Jersey people to rise up with me on this one. But like we called Sloppy Joes were like different types of sandwiches. Like a Sloppy Joe, you're thinking of like chili, like the ground beef like on a roll. Mm-hmm.

Growing up for me, a sloppy joe was a meat coleslaw Russian dressing, Swiss cheese on a sandwich. A turkey sloppy joe is my go-to. I fucking love a turkey sloppy joe. I learned that from the Milburn Deli in Jersey. They call sloppy joe something different. I've had that. It's delicious. Which is why it's like, and then I'll tell people like, oh, I'm going to get a sloppy joe. And they're like, a sloppy joe? See, that's the reaction to a sloppy joe. 100%. And I'm like,

Oh no, like a turkey and coleslaw with Russian dressing and Swiss cheese. And they're like, that's not a sloppy joe. I'm like, where I'm from, that is a sloppy joe. That's what they do call sloppy joes where you're from. Yeah. I know a different sloppy joe with the meat, but that is the reaction. When you say you're getting a sloppy joe, people are like, sloppy joe? Yeah. I got no shame in loving a sloppy joe both ways. Both sloppy joes I love. I think sometimes like when you walk into a deli or something, you don't,

The first thing on your mind is that like Sloppy Joe. You wouldn't order a Sloppy Joe at the deli unless it was the one you were ordering. Which is why when I say it, people are like, what? Right. Or you're getting ground beef on a hamburger roll? Yeah. Totally feel that. No, but I'm, yeah. So like a turkey Sloppy Joe, the version I'm talking about,

It's probably one of my all-time favorite sandwiches. Those rock as well. Those are awesome. They're so good. Yeah. A nice piece of rye. Oof. Delicious. You're talking about Milburn Deli. Yeah, I mean, yes, I am talking about Milburn Deli. But a lot of delis around that area all kind of do this. I actually went to a spot in Jupiter.

over the holidays that they had them. And it actually called it a sloppy joe. Really? And it was like you could choose turkey or roast beef. Wow. Oh my God, it was so fucking good. Well, that's good to know. It's spreading. It's so fucking good. It's spreading. So I don't know. I've always had people be like, that's not a sloppy joe. But for me, it is. Wow. That's talking food. Now I'm hungry for a sloppy joe. I know. I know. Have you ever... This is moving on. Have you ever...

successfully used Find My iPhone? Like have lost something and you used Find My iPhone and have found it? No. My mom... No, but I literally... I don't think I've ever like lost my phone. My mom had a very spot on successful use of Find My iPhone that I honestly was impressed with technology yesterday. Yeah. My mom and my aunt and my sister, whatever, they all went to brunch on Sunday and my mom wore her Apple Watch. Yeah. And...

At some point, my mom lost her Apple Watch.

Took her two days to realize that she couldn't find her watch. She's like, wait, I don't know where my Apple Watch went. And my dad's like, well, when's the last time you had it on? She's like, I don't remember. Did you have it on at brunch? I think so. She couldn't remember where this Apple Watch went. And my sister just bought her a new one for Christmas. So the whole house is freaking out now. How can you do this to Nicole? She just bought you a new watch. This whole thing. Everyone's freaking out.

They use Find My iPhone to pinpoint this watch, and it gives them the exact address of a house. So now you're thinking to yourself, okay, this watch is at a house. Right. So she must have – it was a house near where the brunch place was. So she either left it at the brunch place or someone found it on the sidewalk and brought it back to their home. Right. So they drove – Which is just so interesting because it's like strapped to your wrist. Right. It just fell off her wrist somehow. I don't know. I think maybe she got a little tipsy at brunch. Yeah.

The watch falls. Someone finds it, brings it back to their house. My parents get in the car and drive to this person's house because I mean, at that point that you kind of have to, they knock on the door. No answer. Risky. Very risky. Have to get the watch. Yeah. Yeah. It's a stranger's house. But you know, our parents live in a time where like that,

That was normal to do was to knock on people's houses. Like, you know, because without phones and stuff, everyone just knocked on each other's doors. So they just knocked on the door.

a woman ends up answering and my dad's like oh my wife lost her watch and she's like well what's your phone number and my dad's like what like you have do you know like the watch yeah right she's like well what's your phone number my uh my husband found the watch but we don't have it anymore and my dad's like what okay like here's our phone number if you end up

finding this watch then I guess let us know they had gifted like re-gifted like they were like we don't have it anymore so then my dad gets it's been gifted I have to call the person they gave it to to get it back yeah like oh we gave it away my dad gets back into the car and my mom's like but wait

that fine my iPhone is still saying it's still here it's right at the address it's inside I know it's here the call is coming from inside so my dad's like at first my dad went to the door to knock because you know he didn't want my mom to do it but now he knows it's a woman so he's like all right tell him it's my mom you go up there maybe like she'll be more receiving to you my mom goes up there and she's like oh yeah I have it on the dining room table and then just gave my mom gave my mom the watch I was like

Did they not believe that it was... It's a very bizarre story from start to finish, honestly. No, it was bizarre. It was... Like, how did your mom get... How did the watch get off your mom's wrist? I think... Where did these people find it? They took it home. The woman just didn't trust your dad. Did not trust my dad. Did not trust my dad to give him the watch. Said they found the watch, but they don't have it anymore. Yeah. And then when my mom went to the door, she was like, oh, yeah, we have it. She was like, this man, he doesn't...

He doesn't deserve this watch. He doesn't deserve this watch. And then my mom goes up, I lost my watch. And then they finally give the watch back. But I more so was impressed with how spot on the technology was. That it was like this exact house. Yeah. They had the watch. My mom has definitely used it before and it's been pretty accurate. The only times I think people in my family have had to use it as well. And it's been accurate like until...

that it gets turned off and you know the phone's gone and right for the but for the watch though I think it is it is great it was great but more people who track their phones using their watch which I know is a yeah big a big bizarre all around though bizarre scenario yeah yeah that's just I'm not gonna lie that story's gonna really sit with me for a little bit bizarre it was bizarre when my parents called me to tell me the story I was like huh dad just doesn't have that I mean just

Just doesn't have the luck like you said. No, I got... And... I can't believe she said, we don't have it. Well, she also said, we had it. And now we don't. Now we don't. Yeah. Weird. I guess maybe she just didn't trust this random man at her door. Yeah, yeah. And then when she saw my cute mom, she was like, okay, fine, here's the watch. Because I guess too, if your dad was like, my wife...

lost her watch and like wife is nowhere to be seen right you're you're like hmm your wife your wife right the same way that my dad went up to the to the door instead of my mom yeah right because he didn't want my mom to go up and see who's in the house now this was opposite now this woman's seeing this random man and is like well I'm not giving him the watch

Well, you know, I'm glad that at the end of the day your mom got her watch back. I'm really glad my mom got her watch back too. That's what a... Yeah. Keep that strap on tight. Yeah, she's got to lock that shit in a little bit more. Keep that strap on tight. We don't need this same scenario happening. No, I really... Probably just because I'm absolutely glued to my... Like I know where my phone is at all times. On a night out, I've like lost...

Even like on a night out I think I've lost my wallet I've lost my purse But my phone is My phone is always on me That's why I lost my phone in an Uber once Ooh I lost my phone in an Uber once But

But was with other people and was able to track it down. Yeah, that's good. Yeah. That's why I'm always hesitant when people have their wallets attached to their phone. Yeah, I know. If you lose one, you lose both. It's just everything. You know what I mean? You lose it all in one. Yep. I always find that to be a little dangerous. I also think it's just like solely visibly like kind of...

Like if you put your phone down on the counter and you're like at the bar and you have like four credit cards sticking out of the back of your phone. Snatch it right now. Snatched. I used to have, I used to do that. Used to have one like that. But that was like, I mean, that's the,

college age years when you like didn't want to bring out a purse or like anything because you didn't want to have to lose anything so it was like yeah phone like ID credit card boom and like then you're on the go ready to go ready to face the world you got your phone in your pocket that's all that matters right only thing that matters and not losing a purse anywhere what I want oh I wanted to wish for everybody that is a part of a fan of the series and reading

Onyx Storm Week. This is a big week for the fantasy girlies. The fourth wing Imperium series. Yes. Fourth wing Iron Flame. Onyx Storm came out today. Wow. The book? The 21st. Yes, the third book. Did you pick it up? I got it downloaded on my Kindle, baby. It's ready to go. There you go. Ready to go. I actually was hoping it would... I pre-ordered it on my Kindle and when I went to bed, it was like...

Or I was getting ready for bed It was after midnight And I was like Ooh I'm gonna check To see if it's on there Maybe I'll read A couple chapters Before I go to bed And It hadn't delivered yet It was like It's like an automatic Oh it'll automatically update On January 21st And I'm like It's January 21st But I don't know Maybe it was like They do West Coast Maybe Time or something But It's on there now There you go Are you gonna start tonight Or wait for the weekend Yeah no I'm starting right away Right away Right away Because Are these books Like at the end Like cliffhangers Yeah Major Yes

Yes. How long was it? Very long, right? A big cliffhanger. Yeah. The second one was longer than the first one, but they're not crazy. A Court of Thorns, those are really long. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, Mist and Fury...

is the book's this fat like it's like it's it's big um both fourth wing and iron flame are long for sure iron flame definitely longer um but way i think more manageable you can read them pretty pretty quickly do you think that they'll make these into movies yes eventually yeah

I think it might already be in the process. I think it might already be signed on to. Is that something you wish for or not so much? Fourth Wing may be already, like that might be a TV, it depends. Yeah, I have no problem with it when they make it. What was that fairy TV show we watched on Netflix? Fate? Yes. Why am I blanking? Fate? Was it not called that? The Fates. The Fates. Or was it? The Winx? Yeah, that's another thing.

But it was based on those. Fate, The Winx Saga. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fate, right? Yeah. Fate, The Winx Saga, yes. I threw out all those words just not in the same... Were just not in the right order. Not in the order that it was supposed to be. I don't know if they're making it a TV show or... Yeah, yeah, Fourth Wing is going to be a TV show. And the ACOTAR series, I believe, is also going to be a TV show. A lot of them, they haven't been making them movies yet.

They've been getting the TV show. The TV show adaption. I find that to be more interesting, the TV shows. It gives them a lot more... It gives them a better ability to really stick to a book storyline because there's just so much... You can actually fit so much more. It's getting... Oh, Fourth Wing is getting a prime video television adaption. So that'll be that. I did see...

something about this you and gia talking you talked about music or tv shows and movies but did you talk about tv or movies like just those two of those it was a combo movies and tv together what would you guys pick tv or movies tv me too like you mean for streaming like just in general for life like if you can only watch tv shows or movies tv shows yeah movies really yeah i would go tv

There's a lot of people out there that are dead set on movies and a lot of people are more TV. I would fall way more in the category of TV shows. I do too. I watch so many television. Movies are so much more rewatchable in my mind. TV shows, it's like an investment of your time. That's like, oh, I want to rewatch The Sopranos. Well, that's so much rewatching. And then you're stuck in that. You can't watch a movie. I'll watch five in one day. Yeah.

And they're all different. Yeah, but I like the binge. I like to be in the world of a television show for a long period of time. Me too. The downside of a movie for me is that it is...

Like that, that's it. I agree. I don't, I don't get as invested in a movie because it's over so soon. Yeah. That like my interest in the movie doesn't last for long. Whereas my interest in a TV show lasts for way longer. And I'll rewatch a TV, like I have no problem rewatching TV shows. Cause then it's just like a fun investment of time too. Like it's, you know, Oh, let's like, Oh, ah,

I haven't watched Grey's Anatomy from the beginning in a while. I'm going to take the next couple months to do that. Right. I don't think in my entire life I've ever re-watched a show in order all the way through. Like ever. You never went back and re-watched something? I'll go watch random episodes, Entourage, Sopranos, all that. But I've never been like, okay, I'm going to watch this show again.

Wow, interesting. I've done it many a times. I would put myself in like a category of if there was a contest of who has gone back and re-watched TV shows the most, I would throw myself into that. But like you're watching them like in order? Yes, like from the beginning. I mean, the amount of times I've pressed play on season one, episode one of One Tree Hill, and I'll do it for the rest of my life. Yeah, there's so many shows like that. I will do it for the rest of my life. Joe's probably watched Entourage start to end like five,

six times. Yeah, I would put myself up there probably more than that. My problem is it's like I'll watch, I'll try to watch it through and then I'm like, I just want to see this one episode in season three and then I start bouncing around because I know what's coming and I'm like, oh, well, these episodes I don't like as much so I'll skip these. See, I like the build up again when there's like, when I know, like when I'm building up to the finale of a season where like maybe the in between episodes aren't

aren't as big, but I'm like, it's the buildup to the anticipation for that big season finale that you're looking to watch. Do you ever do that with albums? If you try to listen to a new album through, and then on the third song, I'm like, I love this. That's my favorite song. So the rest of the album where I'm listening, I'm just trying to get through it so I can go back and listen to that song. Yeah, there's all... For sure. Yeah, yeah. Music is so different. An album, I'll...

If the first two songs on the album I don't really like, anytime I press play on the album, I'll just press start with the third song, the one that I like the most. Then some of them are just kind of getting...

forgotten like I'm just pressing play at a different part right I'll get hyper fixated on a song on a new album like squabble up for Kendrick's new album I just kept going back to that one that I then forgot to listen to the rest of the songs because I just kept going back to that one I'm like okay well now I missed the rest of the album and I eventually get to the rest of the album but like that one song will just be on replay all day I'm a big like play a song on repeat for like three weeks straight and then I just never listen to it again or you're like wait

I didn't enjoy it fully that one time I played it. I have to play it from the top again. Right? Like when you play a song, you're like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I got to go back. Yeah, yeah. I was thinking of something else. I got to go back and focus on the song. Yeah, that happens all the time. But no, yeah. So what was I saying? Onyx Stormweek. Very exciting. Yeah, but it is. I'm going to. You want to read it as fast as you can because it's not even like.

necessarily spoilers, but if you're somebody that's on TikTok or on BookTok or whatever, like people start to talk about it and I'm already... Like I got nervous seeing people posting that they went to Target like over the weekend and some Targets had the...

book on the shelves early and people like bought it which i'm pretty like i think target can get a lot of trouble for that but oh you think i feel like target always gets early releases on things yeah but like really you're not supposed to like if it's january 21st if you're in the store on january 18th and you're walking out with the book like i think that's but i think target gets these deals with people yeah taylor swift always says yeah like i think target just has deals but not

before the release date. Sometimes it'll be like early release at Target. But like Taylor will be like exclusive Target. Yeah, Taylor's it's like you get, you know, the special pink album if you buy it in Target. Are you trying to get Target in trouble right now? No, but I...

This is also me going off of people freaking out in the TikTok comments of them seeing that the people are buying the book early and being like, what the fuck, Target? Maybe Target had a deal. You never know. But if Target had a deal...

They're advertising that like, hey, you can come buy the book early on January 18th. They'd have a line out the fucking door of people trying to buy the book three days before it comes out. Right. You know? Maybe they're tired of the lines lately and they're like, hey, we just don't even want to announce that we have anything early. Yeah, they just, a sneaky drop. The lines at Target are fucking insanity still. Like,

I don't know if you'd say, are there still lines at Target? Recently, I've gone to Target in New York City, and all the shelves are empty. They don't have anything in the store. No, the Targets in New York, you can't even... I struggled to even consider them Targets because they're just not...

At Target, like the Jersey City Target, the lines at this Target are fucking insane every time I'm in there. Like they're like the self-checkout line is insane. The line to be like to not like, oh,

They're wrapped around the store a lot. Target still got it. Let me tell you. And sometimes I walk out of there empty-handed because I'm like, this line is just too long. Do I need this that bad? You have those moments where you're like, do I need this that bad? I just have to go home. Speaking of Target, because that's where I got you all those gummy clusters, I saw that you...

or on that new flavor apparently well i i did try the um new flavor that you got me the like popsicle one yes because i'm used to the very berry but then there's berry punch flavor very punch flavor that's when i tried it was delicious i mean it was fantastic but uh a lot of like a very similar concept it was a lot of girls were dming me though and they said the valence the valentine's day

nerds gummy clusters are where it's at and that's coming around the corner so it's pink I think it's like maybe like a strawberry and something I'm not really sure but people are like that flavor is out of this world I would still put very berry as my number one at this very moment but I'm excited for Valentine's Day right around the corner to try the flavor I will put very berry at this very moment

At this very moment, that's number one. All the stores have all the Valentine's Day stuff out already, so it could be soon. Yeah, right. Could just get it early. That you could find these bad boys. Yeah, I'll have to do a taste test and let everybody know what I think of that flavor, but I'm very excited to try. All right, let's get into the rest of the show. In the pop culture world of things, Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber, we'll talk about that. We're also going to do...

Pop Corner with some voicemails and we have Boston Rob on the show. Long time coming. So we'll talk to him. All things reality TV and traitors. So let's get into it.

If you are looking for the way to a healthy scalp, then look at Way's products. I've been using Way, spelled O-U-A-I, for years. I'm holding the leave-in conditioner in my hair that I've been using for years now. Ever since I started using the Way leave-in conditioner, I've never strayed from it. I've been using this leave-in conditioner for years. There's also the new scalp serum, which you can use day or night, whenever you wash your hair. And this is to help your scalp get to that healthy place that you want it to be at.

The scalp serum balances and hydrates the scalp and 100% saw thicker, fuller looking strands after using the scalp serum according to an expert grading study. The daily scalp serum, like I said, can be used either day or night depending on when you wash your hair. It's up to you. And it soothes that inner irritation maybe in these winter drier months where you have irritation and keeps your hair stronger and fuller through a healthy, hydrated, balanced scalp.

The way to a healthy scalp starts here. Go to T-H-E-O-U-A-I.com and use code CHICKS for 15% off any product. That's T-H-E-O-U-A-I.com, code CHICKS. So everyone woke up in a tizzy this morning. I even had texts from people. Haley. Yeah. Haley, our wonderful...

Hayley Bieber, no. No, yeah, Hayley Bieber. Hayley, our wonderful friend and makeup artist. She was like, I can't deal with this. Justin Bieber just unfollowed Hayley Bieber. And I'm like, what the hell? What is going on? He was just posted to her two days ago. They're in Aspen. They're getting hurt. Kendall Jenner, Hayley. It looks like Justin is filming a music video of some sort. That guy, Rory Kramer, is taking all the pictures of them. I'm like, what could have possibly happened? Side note about that, too, think.

he was naked with the bong in those photos? I did. I did. You know? Like, I was like, is he wearing a robe and no clothes? You know, he's been posting more risque photos. No, for sure. He posted one. For sure.

I mean, more than one. On his story. On Instagram and his boxers and his boxers were all wet. It was a whole thing. You got pants on, bro? No, I think he's naked. I think he's doing Naked Cowboy. He's the naked cowboy in Times Square. You got pants on, bro? Or are you like a little, like a little tighty-whitey action? I think he's prancing around in his boxers or his briefs, his white briefs. Yeah. And he's letting it fly on Instagram. But,

people noticed that he unfollowed Haley. Now, I don't even know how people find these things because you have to like, are people checking every second his following, typing in names? Like, they must be. I don't know. There must be some technology out there that people have to like set notifications. Yeah.

They have to. Like, there has to be something. Because I don't know how you even find that. But people did. He unfollowed Haley. And that sent everyone, like, because of the rumors that had been going on. Right. And he's been unfollowing a lot of people that have been close to him in his life. And it's been...

It's been weird. And there was a little back and forth with them on Instagram. People thought that they were like shading each other over Christmas and New Year's. They had these Instagram stories and it looked like they were just sending subliminal, subliminal, why can I say the word? Subliminal messages back and forth between each other. And then they were fine. Then they were posting together. Happy New Year. We're together. Yeah. Love my wife. Couldn't love this woman more. That was like two days ago.

This happens and he posts on his story. Someone went on my account and followed my wife. Shit is getting sus out here. Like, dude, what are you talking about? I just like have so many unanswered questions when it comes to like his life these days and like his day to day where like how many people have access to his Instagram account?

Like, I'm sure there are other people that have access to it, you know? He wouldn't know who they are. Right, but that's what I'm saying. And one of those people is just going to do that? But maybe he doesn't. Maybe he doesn't. That's what he, like...

Maybe someone... Maybe people have gotten access that aren't supposed to get access. Yeah, maybe someone who's part of his PR camp was on his Instagram and they thought it would be a good idea to follow Hailey to get people talking. And then that just went a step too far for Justin and he thought, shit, it's getting sus out here. Like, the PR has taken it too far. Shit is getting sus. I'm following my wife. Like, I'm glad he addressed it, though, almost immediately because I don't want to deal with another day of our Justin and Hailey Bieber getting divorced rumors because...

it's every day when like they were literally together yesterday. Like they were spotted together yesterday. And if you are paying so much attention to them to, to think that they may be getting divorced, then you know that they're spot together like yesterday. You know what I mean? Like I,

I don't find the argument of like, well, we're not following their every move. Well, you're following them enough to think that they got divorced. So why wouldn't you just see that they were together yesterday? Like, I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't understand Justin Bieber in general. It's bizarre. He's posting Nakey in the woods and it seems like he's recording music, which I would be very, very in favor of like whatever is going on right now. I'd love to hear a new Justin Bieber music, but a lot of people thought it was a PR thing.

to get people talking about him. People are already, they're already talking about him. He's Justin Bieber. He doesn't need a PR. No, like, and it's also of all the quote unquote PR stunts to pull to get people interested in what he's doing, unfollowing his wife, I'm sure is like, no.

not at the top of the list no and i'm sure like like when the when the publicist calls is like hey here's the options of things you can do to really get the conversation going one unfollow your wife like no it's just i don't know what happened it is bizarre is weird i know we talk about people unfollowing people all the time and we always say the same thing like it's not super easy to accidentally unfollow someone anymore like there are multiple buttons that need to be pressed

So I just don't, I do not know. Because then now this also makes me second guess all the other unfollowings he's done. Did he refollow? Let's see. He did refollow. Oh, he refollowed and deleted the story about the whole thing, like right away. So weird. Like he had that story up for like 20 minutes. Refollowed Haley and deleted the story. I think a lot of other people think that he's also just trolling people. Well, I thought that when I read that story, I was like...

I think he unfollowed her and then posted that story. Like, like I was like, did he just unfollow her? And then, Oh, it's an inside. It's like, it's like a, because everybody's been making so much noise about all the people that he's been on following that it's like, Oh, I'll unfollow Haley. And then friend, I refollow. I couldn't even tell you why I think he did. I don't even know why he went. None of them make any sense to me besides him just being like a prankster. Like,

I just see all these pictures and videos of Justin Bieber. I'm like, what is he doing right now? He's living in the woods. Not really in the woods. I'm sure they're living in a beautiful house that's located near the woods. He does have a good joke. Yeah, he's like a prankster guy. So he was like, hey, how funny would it be if I unfollowed you and watched everyone spiral? Right, and then he's like, shit is getting sus out here. I bet he's cracking up at home. Should we put that on a shirt? Honestly, that's probably the most... Shit is getting sus out here. That's probably the most...

acceptable explanation. None of it makes sense. None of it makes sense unless because he wasn't like I got hacked. Like if he got hacked they would be posting things on his account. I think the shit is getting so soft here like if it was just the first part then people would

be questioning it more but it's like oh that's funny oh he's like god damn shit's getting sus out here like maybe he's just trying to build up this new music like shit's getting sus out here can you guys smell it can you smell that new music maybe that's a song on a new album shit is getting sus out here damn shit is getting sus out here out in Aspen unfollowing my wife on Instagram I mean Justin Bieber noted noted lyrical genius so I would not be surprised unfollowed my wife on Instagram if those were the lyrics out in Aspen yeah

With my white boxer briefs on, smoking a bong-ong. He's, yeah, I don't know. Sitting by the fireplace. He and Von do? Yeah, that's where I was headed there. You never know with Justin. No, you really don't. And I feel like maybe it is because it's been, for the last two weeks, it really has been like, oh, Justin Bieber unfollowed Scooter, Justin Bieber unfollowed...

Justin Bieber unfollowed the other Usher like there's been a bunch that it's like so maybe he's like in his own mind he's going Justin Bieber unfollowed Hailey oh shit's getting sus out here boys shit wasn't sus when he unfollowed all those people yeah well yeah that was one too far for him shit is getting sus out here boys yeah

out here in aspen i'm out here in aspen yeah no she's not it's getting sus wow justin bieber follows andrew spencer on instagram i did notice that i said the same thing in the in the midst of all of this in the midst of all this that's what i've noticed because i've just clicked on his following i mean good for him should i should he is very funny should we text him and say why does justin bieber follow you on instagram andrew's just be like he must really like my my vids or something

The next headline, Justin Bieber unfollows. Once you say this, you'll unfollow. Damn, I'm following this random guy from The Bachelorette. Shit is getting sus out here. Damn, they took it too far this time. I don't watch this damn show. I follow Greg, not Andrew. That is actually so funny. Damn.

You know what's weird is that you really can't see. I wish Instagram kept it all where if you look at somebody's following, it's like all the people that you follow are at the top. Because now there'll be a bunch. There'll be a good group. But then if you keep scrolling, the rest are really spread out.

Which is annoying. Why not tell me all the people that we both follow? You know? At the top together. Their updates have been awful lately. Yeah, this... I'm not going to lie. I'm not opposed to the rectangular grid posts. Why do they have to un-center the top? But the un-centering the top is really, really threw me off. There's just a blank space. It's like there's no reason for it. I don't know what that empty space is now. And especially if you have a short...

like name or if you're just, it's just so weird to look at now. Shit's getting sus out here. Yeah. I texted Andrew.

I said, hi, we're talking on Six in the Office. We have a serious question. Why does Justin Bieber follow you on Instagram? And did you know this? Yeah. He's typing. I mean, he had to have known this. Oh my God. I don't know if I can. I think I could say it. I think I said, we're talking on Six in the Office. Yeah. He said, ha ha ha ha. Yeah, I know this. He reached out to me after the show. Dope guy. Oh my God. That's so funny. Wow. Wait, I actually think Andrew may have talked about this before.

But like, he didn't care about Greg. I think there was definitely a time where like, I think Justin and Hayley were watching a lot of The Bachelor.

That's crazy. I think Haley watched it and therefore Justin watched it. Wait, that's awesome. That is so sick. Also, that's like a nonchalant response from Andrew. Like, yeah, dope guy. Yeah, dope guy. We go way back. We go way back. It's Justin Bieber. He's fucking sick. Yeah, we go way back. No, wait. That's so... That is... I would tell everybody that. No, so would I. I'd start my first thing. And we did know...

Wait, he said, yeah, he was like, you were mine and my wife's favorite and liked to keep my head up. Oh, that's so nice. Oh, Justin. Wow, that is really nice. Now I feel bad that I was making fun of the fact that he may have been watching. I just, I knew Hayley and-

Kendall watched but because they had posted about it I'm not gonna like they're my good friend that I know they watch the show they just would post about it I'm just picturing him watching that's way cooler way cooler than Justin Bieber following me on Twitter way cooler does he still follow you on Twitter yeah

Twitter is, yeah. He followed a lot of people on Twitter. Yeah, but it's like early on in his career, that was like a thing. Like that shows how early on I was a believer because like early on when he didn't have a big following, they would like follow back all the accounts, like tweet back at him. Like Justin Bieber follows 270,000 people on Twitter. Oh, crazy. That's insane. So 270,000 versus like 150 on Instagram. Yeah.

270,000 has 109 million followers on Twitter. That's insane. That's a lot for Twitter. That is. That's a lot for Twitter. That is a lot. Well, Twitter used to be like, you know. Yeah. He got in early, like on Twitter. Yeah, he joined March 2009, Justin Bieber. Yeah, that's when he's popping off. That was, and let me tell you, that is when I was tweeting at him nonstop. You were one less lonely girl. I was, March 2009, I was a freshman in high school. So.

Yeah. Damn, it goes way back. I was spending a lot of time tweeting at Justin Bieber at that point. Were you and Andrew Spencer? At that point in my life, yeah. Both followed by Justin Bieber? Yeah, on different platforms, but you know. That's okay. We don't have to note that. You're both followed by Justin Bieber. When Andrew was on the show, he's probably like, oh, look at this. Like Bieber's watching his stories of him at the live show. Oh, Andrew ate it up in Detroit at that live show. True. Wow, that was a cool entrance you guys had on stage. Wow, what event was that? That looks really cool. Could I be a guest at that?

Damn. Oh, wait. That's the girl who said she hated my last album. That's so interesting. I wonder if he, like, what... If Justin... Like, if I was Andrew and I knew that Justin Bieber followed me, I would scroll through every single story I've posted to, like, see who's viewed my story to see if he sees, like, what I'm posting. I feel like I would be looking every single time I posted a story. Don't you think his name would be right at the top, though? It would definitely be at the top. Why? Because I think, like...

I just feel like that's how it's worked, I feel like. I don't think that's how it works. For me, when I look at my stories, a lot of the times it's like the people that have a lot of followers. Really? No big deal, but that time that John Mayer looked at Chicks in the Office, that's why I saw him because he was on the top of them. Yeah, usually the people, they pop up at the top. I think the way it works is you'll see them at the top and then maybe an hour later they switch it so then you don't see another batch of people. Yeah, or maybe it changes. I mean, mine don't do that.

Not that I really have like a... That's a hard name to miss. Well, I guess you guys have a lot of followers. No, I'm just saying like I've gone through mine where I've scrolled and I've seen people with more... Like the names at the top have no correlation to like...

most followers. Really? The people at the top are the people that you follow too, right? Oh, really? For me, that's how it is. A lot of times it's people I follow. It's all people I follow. And then it goes into them. Mine's totally random. Really? Wow, that's crazy. Mine is usually people I follow or people with a lot of followers that pop to the top. Nope. I see the first...

She sees Trent when she... The first few are... Trent is always... Honestly, I always see Trent. The first few are people that I follow. But if I scroll... Oh, like I follow this person. Huh. They're mixed in. I would love if she just saw Justin Bieber. All of a sudden, Justin Bieber keeps scrolling. Oh, wait. He's at the bottom. Justin Bieber's in there. No, but yeah, they're mixed in in different parts. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, that'll be the next question, Andrew. Interesting. I don't want to bombard him with Justin Bieber questions right now. Kind of cool for Andrew to be like, while Bieber's doing this massive unfollowing, like, Usher's out. Like, Hailey's out. He's still, like, he's going to be down to, like, 200. It's just Andrew's pressure. Andrew's still in there. He's still making the cut. Yeah. Props to Andrew. Andrew is hilarious, so I can see why Justin followed him. He is. All right, folks. Now I'm, to be honest, I don't look at that that much, and now that I'm looking, and, like, the first five people are people that I follow, and I'm like,

Are you the only people that I follow that have watched this story? That can't be possible. No, I think that there's no rhyme or reason to why Instagram's filtering. They do circle it out. Yeah, it changes a lot. It does change. But that's what I'm saying. Like, there's no way only. Does my name pop up a lot for you? I don't look like often enough where I would. But I think so.

But like, it's like in the, it just, I guess really it depends on the time. Because your name, Noah's name, like you guys will pop up. It depends on the time. Like I'll see, like even if I don't click to see who viewed it, your little pictures pop up in the corner. You know what I mean? Your picture pops up. But I also think because Instagram strategically places people

Like if you post a story, you're my first circle. Yeah, yeah. Like you're my first circle that shows up. So like I'm watching fast because you're my first circle. Sometimes I click people's circles.

Alarmingly fast. No, I know the same. And if I click someone's circle and it says like 20 seconds ago, I am like, oh, and I gotta be honest, it happens a lot. The worst one says a few seconds. Sometimes it says a few seconds. It's like their finger is still on the like press the post button. It hasn't even loaded for them yet and I'm watching like, I watch stories sometimes just embarrassingly fast. You know like when you post a story and then it's like if something's wrong or something and you panic and

but you have to wait for it to finish uploading and then delete it. And there's two people who have seen it. I'm like the two-second person. I've seen it before. I've seen the mistake. Even though it's been deleted within 15 seconds. I always respond to them being like, I like the one with the typo better. Oh my God. Don't be that guy. Damn, why'd you delete this? Damn, you saw that insane typo you made? Why'd you delete? Yeah.

Damn. I like the placement of the text on the first one better. Oh, man. Oh, shit. I don't know what Justin Bieber is doing online, though. Shit's getting sus. Yeah, shit is getting sus out here. Yeah, right. To just end that conversation. Honestly, we should just keep that motto for all social media for the year. TikTok, Instagram, whatever. Shit is getting sus out here. If you make a mistake...

If you make a mistake on Instagram or TikTok or whatever and you maybe posted something you didn't think you should have or whatever, I don't know, guys. Someone did that. She's getting sus out here. She's getting sus. Who knows what you're viewing? Like, algorithm's getting sus. Yeah, algorithm is sus. I don't know. Everything's getting sus. Everything's a little sus right now. It's getting sus out here. Oh, man. Well, Justin, that long nightmare is over. Justin did refollow her. So, you know, all is good. Thank God. But maybe, Justin, change your passwords. For sure.

All right, welcome back to the pop corner where we're going to be taking your voicemails, things you want to talk about in the pop culture world, questions for us in general. Let's get into it. Hi, this is Rachel from Wisconsin. Sorry if you talked about this on the Weekly Watch Report. I haven't listened to this week's episode yet, but

My hot take and just like what I'm wondering on you, what you two think is I just don't think the traders they picked out for this season of traders are that good. And so I'm very curious to see how the rest of the season goes because I feel like they're already on to most of them. And so are we going to be recruiting more traders? Like, is it just going to be a bunch of faithfuls at the end? Yeah.

thinking someone else is a traitor like where's the show going to go from here so just wondering what your thoughts are um and i guess who would you have loved to see as a trader personally i would have loved to see gabby as a trader and i hope they recruit her okay have a great day thanks bye i think they're definitely going to recruit some others i think they're like maybe early on it wasn't the right not that it wasn't the right picks but like it's

they're getting mixed up fast so if they do start taking out traders I think there's a possibility of definitely somebody being recruited but I'm totally fine with it it's like mix it up last season I felt like they were not onto them at all for like a while right I also feel like

It's hard to know whether or not you're picking good traders. You don't know until you give them the task and watch them do it, right? It's like that's why they pick them. You know what I mean? Like you really don't know until it happens. So I don't know if we can necessarily say that they were bad at picking or if these traders are just not so good at being a trader and, you know, hiding themselves. I think I would have liked to have seen –

one of maybe like one of the Bravo people be a traitor one of the housewives like I think like even though Dolores is like such a faithful I think she would have been a good traitor I think so too I would have liked to seen Sierra as a traitor just to give her more shine in the show I think they're already on to her like they or they were on to her they thought she was a traitor she's not but

But I think it would have been interesting to watch her be one just because I feel like she hasn't been on reality shows in the past like this, like a game show type, that it would have been interesting to see her in that role. You know, they have Boston Rob as the traitor, but then last year they also had Parvati as a traitor. So I'm like, if you watch the show, would you maybe be on to the fact that they're just having the surviving people be the traitors too? I saw people on TikTok say that. I'm shocked that they made Boston Rob

the traitor after making Parvati a traitor when Boston Rob and Parvati are both known as like survivor legends slash you either love them or maybe you just like the way they play their game but both in the same category. Right. And that I saw the TikTok I saw was like oh if these faithfuls thought about it you know they've had a surviving they had a survivor as as a traitor for both seasons. They've already eliminated two

survivors and they were both faithfuls. So the odds of like Rob or Carolyn being a traitor is like what you would think would be really high, but I don't know how much...

I don't know how much research everybody's really doing before going into it to be like, I know exactly how like this season went and that season went. Probably Dylan Efron. I don't know. They're just excited to get asked to be on the show. And then they're like, oh, whatever happens happens. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Click one, but a funny one bagel should never be toasted. Never be toasted. That's it. He came in with a strong take.

Bagel should never be toasted. Bagel should never be toasted. I disagree. Yes. I disagree with that. I think, listen, if you get a fresh, a fresh bagel that is warm and just coming like right out and it's hot and you could just spread that butter cream cheese right on. You want to keep it simple. Yep. And you got that fluffy bagel.

Then no toasted needed. Totally. But if you're picking up a dozen bagels from the store and, you know, maybe it's the, you know, I'm thinking sleepover vibes, right? Or, you know, whatever. You're picking up a dozen bagels. That shit's got to be toasted. Yeah. You know, it's making it when it's cold and it's making its way from the store to the car to home. You wait a little bit. You got to toast the bagel. You know, I think it's depending when the bagel.

I just like took too big of a breath and choked on air. Are you okay? Like that's just what just happened to me. Like I like brought in too much. Yeah, I'm okay. But it like made my throat a little itchy. Whoa. I could not agree more. A fresh bagel, 100%. Like if...

If I'm going to the bagel store Saturday morning, walking in, ordering a bagel, I do not get my bagel toasted. I know that there are some people that must have their bagel toasted. I do not. But, like, if it's a day old, two days old, you know, you're pulling out the bagel from the pantry that you bought a couple days before, yeah, I'm throwing that in the toaster. Right. It depends on what it is. Right. I feel like if he's arguing that, like, if you're going to the store and getting a bagel

get it toasted. I could see, I could see that. And you're eating it right away. Yeah. And, but just in general, there are times when bagels need to be toasted. For sure. For sure. Like the bagels I made the other day, I did not, like I didn't take them out of the oven and then toast them. No, no. Like they were fluffy and delicious. No, they're warm, beautiful bagels right out of the oven. Right. Hey,

Hey, re and friend love the show. This is Sarah from Ohio. My hot pop culture take is that I hate Chapel Roan. I know that's kind of, you know, some people have said that she's been annoying recently, but I really just

don't like her whole vibe with not wanting attention and yelling at paparazzi and things like that when literally her entire persona is just begging for attention with the crazy makeup and the outfits and how she performs and all of that and then to turn around and say like I don't want attention I want my privacy like you're literally a celebrity sure there needs to be a limit on it but I just don't like the

whole vibe that she's putting out into the world when she's kind of like an attention seeker with everything else she does. Anyways, love the show. Thanks for letting me be a hater. You know, always appreciate the hate. I will say I'm fine with her saying she just doesn't like her vibe and everything.

But I don't agree with like, oh, she's asking for the attention because of what she wears and the makeup and everything. Like, that's just... That's just her style. That's her. And her like expressing who she is. Exactly. That's self-expression. That's her as an artist. That's like how she feels comfortable. That's like the persona. That's like her stage persona. Like everything that she does. I don't think...

you're doing that in this with the mindset of like let me just do the most outrageous thing to like get the most attention from people like I just I think that's just I think how she is yeah I I agree with you I think she created chaperone is like a a persona right and I think that everything makeup all that is just like you said a form of self-expression like I don't like I totally agree with all that I don't don't need to repeat you word for word but I agree exactly with what you said that was my exact thought

I think... She can find her annoying. Yeah. I think she can be an acquired taste for some in the way that people do find it annoying that it seems like there's a problem with everything. You know what I mean? I totally find it reasonable for there to be a problem with some of the things that she has brought attention to. Yeah. You know, being disrespected on a red carpet or...

you know, just in general. Like, people can get really out of hand. Stalking, threats, all of that stuff can get really out of hand and there's no problem, like, speaking up about that. But on the other side of it, there are, like, other little things that you're just like, okay, now, like, these things feel like nitpicky situations. So I could see people getting annoyed about that. I agree. Sure, there's plenty of times where interviews or whatnot, you're like, oh, you don't agree with everything she says. Yeah.

I love the music, so that's what... For sure. That's what pulls me back in all the time. But I think it's just really hard for anybody that finds such immense amount of fame so quickly. And she feels very strongly about her personal freedoms and personal space. And when that gets violated, she's spoken out about it. So I don't really have any issue with that. But I know people get bothered by when there's the comments about fame and you're like, oh, you're...

oh, now you're famous. What are you complaining for? You're famous. Like blah, blah, blah, all those things. Yeah, but there are some things that come with it that she could not love while also loving to express herself with music and everything. For sure.

Hi Queens, Noah, that includes you. This is Maria from Philly. I am talking with my hot take that everyone after Hannah season, Hannah Brown season of The Bachelorette, said that she blew it with Tyler Cameron. She screwed up. She should have picked him. Blah, blah, blah. My hot take is that she dodged a bullet by not ending up with him. Okay.

Wow. I'm filling the rest. Love you guys. Bye. Wow. Wow. Tyler, sorry. Sorry, pal. That just took a ricochet shot. Not even a ricochet. That was a direct shot at Tyler there. It was a direct shot at Tyler. Here's the thing.

You can't argue that Tyler was not the better choice over Jed. Like, you know what I'm saying? Tyler was absolutely the better choice. Even like Nat. Yeah, no. Tyler was the better choice. If we're going to talk between Jed and Pilot Pete...

Tyler was definitely the correct choice out of those guys. Now, do I think Tyler and Hannah Brown ended up in the spots where they're supposed to be right now? Yes. I think that if they were going to make it work, they would have made it work when they like sort of rekindled their thing in COVID and it didn't end up happening. Like,

I just think those two weren't meant to be together. And I think it's very clear because they didn't make it work. Hannah is engaged and very happy with her man. Tyler is with Tate, his lovely girlfriend. They seem very happy. So I think, you know, they both ended up where they should be. But to come to Tyler's offense, it's like, well, you're putting him up against Jed and Pilot Pete. So he was the better option between those two. And...

And look, like, if she did pick him, I do not think they would have lasted. Because I think they just wanted... No, I don't think so either. They just... I think they wanted, like, different things, different life. Like, I think Tyler has... And Tyler had his party boy days and all those things. But now he's come back to, like, really wanting to be in Florida and, like...

building houses and like doing everything that he's doing down there. And eventually I don't know if like Hannah would have been like, yeah, that's the lifestyle I want. Sure. You know, it's so weird. I actually saw a picture this morning that really reminded me. It was a picture from that time period where Tyler and I were out together a lot. And I was like, wow, what a weird time. Yeah. Like I, my, my thoughts were what an odd time that was. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, there was... Oh, the stories to tell. The stories to tell. There were some major NYC little nights out and whatnot. And she's living here for a while. Yeah, we spent a lot of time going out. And that was a weird time. It was fun, though. It was a lot of fun. But it's just crazy to think about. That was just such a different period of time. Yeah, totally. 100%. And so, yeah, for...

Hannah and Tyler were just never in the cards I don't think. No. My God. We can't be insulting Tyler like that. Hey. Maybe he shouldn't have gotten ice cream without Tate. For sure. He popped into my parents store a couple weeks ago and he told me that my mom yelled at him for this. Good. I'm glad.

I'm glad. He deserved to be yelled at over that. Yeah, yep, yep, yep. So, all right, we'll do another one. Hey, Rianne and Fran, I have a hot take that I just kind of need to rant about. It doesn't really, like, revolve around anything pop culture, but I hate when people include their pregnancy tests in a pregnancy announcement. Like, no one wants to see your pee stick.

Sure as hell don't hand me your pee stick. There are so many cute ways to announce it. Like, just leave the pee stick out of it. Like, I know obviously you're not peeing on the whole thing, but like nobody shoots 100% on those things. Like, there's so many other cute ways that you can do this. Let's just agree to leave the pee sticks out of it. That's all.

You know, I've never really thought about that, but she makes a very valid point. It is valid. I've never thought about it either. I've never looked at a pregnancy test posted by somebody and gone, they peed on that thing. And you think, oh God, her hand's covered in pee. Yeah, no, I never thought about that until now I will. Now every post I see with a pregnancy test in it, I will be thinking of that going forward. I wonder if this is, and this is just like a question of how...

it works where it's like, oh, if you get a pregnancy test, can you just really like disinfect that bad boy afterwards? And like the results will still be what the results are. Like it'll still be,

Nothing will change from the screen or whatever, you know? I have no idea. I don't know either. That's another question that we're not too familiar with. I don't know either. Somebody out there will give us the answer. I've never taken a pregnancy test in my life. Really? Isn't that crazy? That is crazy. Like even like a scare. I was like this. I never had a scare actually. But...

I've taken... I don't even know why. Well, you would take them because you'd be afraid you were pregnant. Yes, but not actually. You know what I mean? I know, but... Yeah. You know what I mean? No, for sure. For sure. So I don't really fully...

I can't say I've experienced it myself. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot of times. I have a lot

I would hope that they clean that bad boy off afterwards when they're really holding it up and showing it to everybody. Yeah. I don't know. There's something nice about showing the actual test. Like, hey, we did it. You know what I mean? I get what she's saying for sure. And I think there are people who have different levels of germ stuff. Do people keep those? Or no? Like frame it? Yeah.

I don't know if people frame them, but I would think people keep them. Nobody I've known that has gotten pregnant has kept them. Yeah. Or maybe I have. I don't know. I actually don't know. I've never asked my sister if she still has hers. Yeah. That's something I've never asked. I'm saying no, but I'm not sure. Yeah. I really don't know too much in this department. I'm not going to lie. Me either. I guess we'll find out when we finish this episode. Or when we're there, right? Yeah.

I know people will tell us. That kind of made it sound like you were going to both take pregnancy tests after this episode. No, I mean, I've taken pregnancy tests before and have just thrown them in the trash because they're not positive. Yeah, of course. You know what I mean? Yeah. You're like, its job is done. Yeah, the job is done. The job is done. It's going in the trash, you know? It's going in the trash, for sure. But no, my point was, I was saying, I guess it really depends on your level of how much germs...

and bathroom stuff like you know if that if that bothers you then you're like so disgusted that you can't that you don't want to you don't want to be near it but you know pee sterile so that doesn't affect me I like it still pee yeah well I'm just saying like true you had a good point there yeah yeah all right let's do I don't know you need

People get so nitpicky. Let the pregnant people celebrate with the pregnancy, you know? Like with the test. All right, let's do one more. Hey, Rio, Fran, and Noah. Big fan. Love you guys. My hot take is that I want to see more Tom Schwartz. When I saw him on the producer's summer house coming up, I was like, yes, please.

Like, is this Joe?

comedic relief. We found Tom Schwartz's biggest fan. And I want to see him in more things. Thanks so much. Bye. I love it. Tom Schwartz does provide great comedic relief because he's just Schwartz. Like he's just, you know, he's just aloof. Like people, the other cast members all joke like they can't stay mad at him for that long. Like he's just, he's just, he's just Schwartz. Even though Schwartz

He'd be kind of funny on the traitors. He would be, but there's so many shitty moments, right? Oh, yeah. There's so many moments of him absolutely treating Katie like such garbage and treating people like such garbage. But for some reason, people just come back around on him. There's a lot of excuses made for him. Like, oh, he's just a lovable idiot. It's like, well, his best friend is Tom Sandoval. You know what I mean? But even like it seems like Katie forgives him too. So it seems like he's just that kind of guy that people just end up forgiving. Yeah.

And I do feel like she is also kind of making a point of, we could just drag Tom Schwartz into these clown-like roles.

cameos in other shows yeah and like that's what would make people happy it's like not having it really been being taken seriously but in a way of like oh below deck guest bartender Tom Schwartz there goes Schwartz again there goes Schwartz again showing up on another show that doesn't make any sense that would be funny if he just was randomly popping into like he's on he's on below deck yeah you know

he shows up and he's invited to one of Kyle Richards' backyard parties. Yeah, no, I could see him just being implemented in that way. All right, that wraps up the Pop Corner segment for this week, but we will be back with more and hopefully not keep talking about pee. Hey, it's all right. It's all right. It's sterile.

All right, everyone, we are here with a very special guest. We are joined by Rob Mariano, Fran's cousin. We're just figuring that out. We're going to trace our family tree back. There's got to be something. Yes, exactly. A.K.A. Boston Rob, a reality TV show legend. You guys know him from Survivor, Dealer No Deal Island, now Traitors, which we are very, very excited to talk about. Big episode this week. Everybody's talking about it. And we're so excited that you're here today to talk.

Yeah, I'm excited to be here. It was a fun episode, that's for sure. It really was. First off, I got to ask, because you're a Boston guy, so are you very familiar with the barstool world or not at all? I'm very familiar. It's crazy because I'm a lot older than you girls, but I actually came up around the same time as Dave in Boston. Everything like the gambling, the whole thing, and I'm surprised our paths have never crossed.

But yeah, super big fan of all Boston. I was going to say, I'm surprised that that's true. Have you always been Boston, Rob?

Like from the beginning, that's like. So the story of how that even started, the first season I was on Survivor, there were two guys named Rob. And we got to the merge and Jeff's like, how are we going to handle this? And the other guy is like, well, I'm from New York. You call me New York Rob. I don't think probes like being told what to do. And he's like, well, where are you from? And I was like, Boston. And he was like, okay, Boston Rob. Yeah.

And that was it. Like, seriously, it stuck. It was that Rob's dream to be called New York Rob. And now you're bossing Rob forever. But this season of Traders is so good. Everyone's talking about it. We just had Parvati on. We were laughing with her, too, because there's so many different edits now on TikTok.

and everything and we've been talking a lot on our show about all the edits that people have been making of you because they're watching you now on traders and you know you had the backwards hat and the blazer you talked about that you know still rocking the same thing and everyone's like if you don't know Boston Rob here he is and it's just like all these edits now of you on TikTok have you seen those has your have your daughter shown you my daughter my daughters are more likely to have shown them to me uh

But yeah, I think one of the reasons why I've continued to do this for over 25 years is people expect the consistency. And I am who I am. I make no bones about it. That's how I like to dress. I know it's a fashion show, but to me, I was more focused on the competition part. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. And I know even post, they've all been honoring the backwards hat. I saw Bob on TikTok wearing his

Yeah, he's a super boss to rep. It was a very interesting entrance for you on this season. What was that like kind of? Was there a moment where you thought, oh my God, I'm not going to be able to play? I mean, like facts, like they did me no favors. They did not tell me that I was doing that until after I got to Scotland. Okay. So you're like, holy shit, I'm here and I may not be on the show. Yeah.

we got this idea, we're going to do a little twist. And I was like, I don't think that's a good idea. And they're like, well, if it doesn't work, we have another idea. And I was like, what's the other idea? They're like, we're not telling you. And I'm like, I don't know.

This is not what I signed up for. But, you know, like, I'm going to have a target regardless. Like, my reputation precedes me. Yep. Many years of playing these games. So I'm like, okay, let's make it bigger. Let's see if I can get out of it. Let's see what I can do. And, yeah. So I didn't anticipate anybody letting me in. Yeah.

And then afterwards, you know, it's like, it's definitely on me. Yeah, right. They had to find some way. The sus. The sus. I'm using it wrong, right? The sus. My girls at home are cringing. Like, my full daughter's like, Dad, no! I was like, oh. That's funny. I think, though, watching this unfold on this season, it's like, okay, you don't get let in, right? And then you're brought in. But...

I don't know how it didn't click immediately for people like he's a traitor now. Like it's, you know, I mean, I think a lot of them probably think it in the back of their heads, but then like, once I find out who the other traders are in the turret with me,

I'm like, here we go. Right? This is like one surprise after the next. It's getting harder and harder and harder. And like Bob and Danielle have this little thing going and Carolyn's like, you know, all over the place. And I'm like trying to just, you know, be as chill as possible until, you know,

red flag number one, Bob tries to put Carolyn in the coffin, you know? And I was like, ooh, that's not a good move. And he's a pretty smart guy. Like, he understands the strategy. And I was like, I don't think we should put Carolyn in. Let's pick someone else, you know? And then Danielle's targeting Jeremy, and I want to say something, but, like, I don't want to make waves. So I'm like, all right, I'll let that happen. But when he, like,

targets me and Wes and Derek as the three cage bros and he's like, we gotta check them. At that point, I felt like, okay, this guy's directly coming at me now, so...

I'm going to have to stand up and do something. I'm just not that guy to sit around. And, and that you did. And poor, um, Dylan Efron, who, you know, is trusting you with open arms. Can I just say, I love Dylan. We played golf a few weeks ago in Vegas and, uh,

He is everything you see. He's just a good dude. Yeah. We felt that in watching. It's like, I'm sure you see it too now because you're watching and you can see the confessionals and the other moments that they're having. Yeah. And he was just so excited to work with you. I could feel that, though, in the moment. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? And it's genuine. Yeah. So at this point in the show, now he's like, my man. Yeah, right, right, right. He's like, I was like, I got him. Yeah, he's like, we got him together. When you...

knew, like, okay, I'm going to have to make a move on Bob, was Dylan the first person that you thought, like, I should go talk to him about this? So, like, I'm not just going to, like, go and make a move at Bob unless I feel like I can get enough people on board with me. And I got to tell you, the time that you have to...

in the castle after you come back from the challenge before the round table is very short. You don't have a lot of time. So I was like, if I'm going to make something happen, I got to make it happen quick. And so Dylan, of course, was the first one. Yes. To answer your question.

But also I had to go to Danielle and Carolyn because I have to, like, I can't go and make this move unless like they know that this is going to happen. And I kind of positioned it like it was everybody that was happening without me. It wasn't me doing it. Danielle immediately pushed back when she did. I was like, okay, no problem. Close the door on her, but we're still doing it. And I'm telling Carolyn we're doing this, you know? So yeah,

I felt like at that point I would be able to get the numbers, but then the roundtable starts going in a completely different direction. And they're focused on Sierra and Nikki. And I've already planted seeds in enough people that I know I have to make it go to Bob and I have to make it go now. Because if I don't, these other conversations that I just had are going to get back to Bob over the course of the next day and I'm dead. Right.

So it's like, this is not the kind of guy that you can just like ease your way in and push it. It's like, I need to go and murder this guy. I need to kill him. And I see it's going a different direction. I just interrupted. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you guys are all off track, you know? And at that point, uh,

It was actually, I think, even more intense than you guys saw in the edit, which is kind of crazy because we were back and forth. And to Bob's credit, I feel like he held his own really good. And...

He was such a good orator. Like he could like he could talk to you and everybody and he could, you know, persuade and dissuade however he wanted. And I was fine with it until he was trying to get me for sure. You know, when you got him out, were you nervous about the fact that he would go up there and be like, and by the way, Rob's a traitor or is that not allowed to happen?

So you're not supposed to do it, but he dropped some clues, and he actually dropped more clues than we're shown. But, you know, I get it. Like, a lot of people, they're hurt, you know, and it was truly a blindside. Like, he didn't see it coming. Yeah. We talked about it on Monday's episode. We were talking about the episode, too. I said just the, like, as you're speaking and you're looking at everybody, and then you were just like,

the way you edited it. The edit is just so good because you just like, you don't even say his name. You just look at him and then Bob is like, it's so good. The dramatics of the show and also, you know, selfishly, we're big fans of Ciara. So, like the fact that it was going towards her and then you kind of, you know, got it towards Bob. I was like, thank God. I was like, I was like, oh my God, they're targeting the wrong people. And,

And, you know, as logic made no sense for me on Nikki. It was like, she's a wrestler. She likes theatrics. I was like, Wes, that's a tough sell. Right. Meanwhile, like I didn't, you know, even just watching the show, I'm like, I don't know how they're getting traders vibes from them. But of course, that, you know, you know what's going on in there. But the episode was incredible. I loved the crowd reaction to just the little things that people picked up on. Like when Bob said to Dylan, like not a good one when he said his brother was an actor.

What was it like in the room when that was said? Yeah, it was a little bit funny. Bob's really great. He is very quick-witted. I watched him do this. And you got to realize, it's only been three days in the castle. I'm already coming in late. I'm already behind. It's like I'm playing catch up and I'm watching this guy just, you know,

literally he's playing both sides so well from my point of view. You know, he's playing the faithful side well, he's playing the traitor side well. And I'm just like, wow, this guy's really good. I was like, but I could feel also that

I don't know how to explain, like, feel, but, like, I could tell that, like, he didn't want me there for a long time. Well, do you think that in a group, like, because the group of traitors is so small, do you think that having two really, like, he is, he was, like you said, playing both sides, really good at it, and he voices opinion a lot. Do you find it would have been, like, kind of hard to continue to be a traitor with him?

Well, yeah, and I do. And I think like you said in the beginning, people are going to be suspicious that I'm a traitor, right? There's a lot of different dynamics from a game point of view going on. If you look at the meta, you look at the three people in the coffin, you're like, well, why would those other two people...

The season before, like, they had the option to put other traders in the coffin. Like, who would be so bold to do that? So I think that's what Wes was saying between Wes and Ciara. Obviously, they're going to look at myself and Derek and Wes in the cage. Wes is a smart player. Bob the Drag Queen's really smart. Derek's smart. Tony and Jeremy. Like, these guys, they understand. So it's like you're not there with a bunch of fish. Yeah. You know, like, you really have to work. Yeah.

I think like Bob was someone that, you know, eventually what was going to happen was going to happen. It didn't need to happen as early as it did until he forced it. Right. In my mind, he forced it. And when he did, I mean, that's it. You can't put that back. Like it's out. And now I have to kill you. Yeah. Like the end. Yeah. Yeah. Um,

Does Tony still hold hard feelings towards you? I guess. I think so, right? I heard a little bit of him talking about it. Which surprises me because Tony's a gamer. Tony's a good player. He's going to get over it. But I mean, he has been a little bit, you know. A little salty. Salty is a nice way to say it. I was going to try it the other day. I understand what he means, right? So from a theoretical point of view, yes, if you have numbers and keep the numbers together.

It makes sense. But at the same time, maybe I give Tony too much credit in that I thought he must realize that he's such a big presence and a big player that if he's not a traitor, surely it has to be me. So, I mean, what he's saying is his view from his eyes and his lens and not seeing it through my lens. So the argument was that like, oh, I crushed him at the round table. I was like, well, yeah, I did, but I was forced to.

Because where else was I going to go? Like, well, you didn't see Bob Harper, like, pushed me. And he was like, so, Rob, what do you think? You know, because I was totally keeping my mouth shut and I wasn't going to say anything. When he did, I told him about, you know, giving him the shield, which I did. And then, you know, him...

But I mean, like, so at that point, who do I vote for? I either kill Tony where everybody else is going that way. Like, true to form, everybody was going that way. Or I throw a vote towards Bob. Like, at that point, no chance. Or I make an enemy with somebody else. Right, yeah. Which doesn't make sense. And in theory, it's nice to think, oh, Survivor, we stick together. But, like, you don't have to just because you guys were both on Survivor.

And ultimately, when you get towards the end, you're going to have to go for each other anyway. So it doesn't really matter at that point, too. And also the housewives, like them sticking together, they have a target on their back as people are like, well, one of them must be a traitor. They're all sticking together. They're all protecting each other. So yeah. What did you think about Danielle Dupre?

gunning so hard for Jeremy because I thought like just from that move I was like Jeremy's the only one that has brought up Danielle's name at that point and I was like this feels like an obvious shot yeah so Danielle like in my opinion like her Trader's game Trader game is not so strong like it's just you know like

I get it. But, like, somebody said your name, you want to eliminate them. But it also, like, could come back to get you, too. But there's only one person saying your name, and then you're like, that person leaves. I just feel like that's...

Yeah. And like it's been shopped around to a couple different people already. Exactly. You know, I just I feel like because I was late to the game, I was a fourth trader into the turret. I felt like her and Bob had already initially created a bond that it was going to be the two of them and they were going to figure out a way to work together. Okay.

Carolyn's on the outside. I know of Carolyn at this point. I don't know Carolyn, and Carolyn's a handful. She's great. Don't get me wrong. But when you don't have time to sit down and have a one-on-one and get to know someone, you've got to make quick judgments and like –

she's not giving me what I need as a, you know, right. Alliance partner or whatever. So I really do feel like I'm out there, especially now there's only three of us. And if we were to supposedly lose one more, which I'm not saying we are, but if we were right, let's look at that situation. Um,

then of course they're going to think that they're going to recruit. And if I am a faithful, who's public enemy number one to recruit? It's me. So now it's my job to make this three ring circus a happy home. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode. I think everybody is. Totally is. What's it like kind of going through these challenges with

with everybody in the house? Because everybody's from such different backgrounds, people who have been through challenges before on different shows. I mean, you know, like, you know, the housewives aren't out here doing physical challenges on their shows. So what's it like kind of trying to get everybody to work together so that you can collect this money? Yeah. So the last challenge didn't go so well. I'm going to give you the real answer to your question, which a lot of people probably don't want to hear, but the challenges don't really mean a lot

Yeah. Like you're adding money. Money, yeah. But like at the end of the day, and I think they'll change this in the future, they'll make more consequences. For sure. And like, you know, advantages. But it's not like on Deal or No Deal Island or like in Survivor where like those challenges really have repercussions. And in Deal or No Deal Island, the money, like it's just you're working with a bigger amount of money. Well, I mean, Traders is like anything I haven't ever done before. You know, it's...

it's like truly like you know the girls are in hair and makeup and they're doing fashion like people say it has much more of a like a campy feel like it is very theatrical and it's also like the round table is like where it really comes together for me for trainers I love that that's the best part it's like everyone having to talk it out loud in front of each other I think is just

an incredible aspect of the show where you're right like the challenges may not mean as much I mean we watch you on Deal or No Deal Island obviously watch you on Survivor what made you want to do the other shows like have you were you kind of like I'm kind of done with Survivor I want to maybe go into other things great I love Survivor like it's it's like giving me the platform to be able to do other things for sure like it'll always be like you know

what I'm known for in the beginning. Deal or No Deal Island, truthfully, like they asked me and like I didn't really, I wasn't gung-ho at first, but then once I found out the concept, I found out that I would be able to like kind of figure out the strategy and shape the way the game is played from the beginning and it was going to be the first season of the show.

I was more interested and then I'm obviously happy I did it. It was great. It didn't end up the way I wanted, but it was such a fun experience. And traders have been asking me for a while to do it. And, you know, again, it's something that like outside of my comfort zone, something different. It's hard for me just because of who I am, right? Like I go into that castle and I know Tony and Jeremy and that was it. I knew all of Carolyn, but like-

Every other person, not everyone, but a lot of them know who I am. For sure. So like that target's so big. So to be able to go into these...

reality shows and figure out like a new way to do something or a new a new trick in my bag like it's challenging but it's also you know yeah not easy right because even if somebody hasn't watched Survivor before they've heard of you like they they they know Boston Rob so like maybe somebody hasn't watched their your season but they're like we know we should look out for him don't worry he's got Dylan running around yeah Dylan is telling everybody all of his moves

Don't mess with Dylan. We love Dylan. Zach Efron is on our star on our table. Yeah, we have a picture of Zach Efron to support him as a great actor. He is a great actor, as Dolores would say. Big fans of the Efrons in this studio. We are, and we want Dylan to come on the show so we can talk to him too. But...

With Survivor, like you said, it's hard for you to go onto a show now and people not know. Would you do another season? But it would have to be a bunch of people have played before. So they're getting ready to do the 50th season. And Jeff called me last summer and we had a conversation about it.

And I just feel like I've done everything I wanted to do in the Survivor space, like as far as playing. Like to go back and just go through the motions again doesn't feel like it makes sense. You know, I won the show. I met my wife on the show. I got to play with all the winners. Like I've lost the show. I've done all different things. You've had a big statue of your face on the show. I've had a big statue of my face, which is ridiculous, but still pretty awesome. So, I mean, I don't know.

I don't know if there's another way to be involved in the 50th season to help celebrate it. I'm open to that. But as far as like just going back to play again, I don't need that. You're like my legacy is there. I mean, it kind of is. Yeah, it definitely is. It absolutely is. From back to the – all the way to the beginning for a second, we – it's funny because the –

our listeners don't know, well Parvati was just recording with us and people will be able to listen to that this week as well. But we were talking to her just about those initial audition, like casting processes and everything. And she did mention that you, she said like, oh, Rob's got a funny story about like getting cast on Survivor. - Being in the hotel. - Being in the hotel. Do you know what she's talking about?

Maybe. Maybe. Did she tell the story? No, she didn't tell it. She was like, ask Rob about it. Yeah, I have a very funny story. We'll talk about it next time. All right. Well, now we're left on a cliffhanger from Parvati and Rob. From Parvati and Rob. We'll have to figure out what it was. But that's, what was the year when you were cast for Survivor? Oh,

I believe it was 2001. I remember 9-11 had just happened and we were still in casting for the final 50. Ironically, my flight going to LA for that final 50 casting was the American Airlines Flight 11 flight.

One week later to the day, like on the 18th. Yeah. And I was like really like paranoid. Yeah. I didn't realize every Tuesday morning at this time is flight 11. Right. So we ended up like switching and going through Rhode Island instead. And we flew out there. And originally that first season was supposed to be held. A lot of people don't know this either. It was supposed to be held in Saudi Arabia. Mm-hmm.

It was supposed to be Survivor, the Middle East. And because of everything that happened, they switched it last minute to the Marquesas Islands. And, you know, I didn't do that great that first season. I think I understood the strategy better than the other people. But, like, I got swapped. There was a tribe swap, and I got, you know, I messed up, and I got out. But I made enough of an impression that, like...

when they did the all-star season a few years later, I got the invite. Yeah. And I remember I was maybe 25, 26 years old at the time and I was like, man, if I got another chance, I'm going back and I'm not taking any prisoners. There you go. And I did. A lot of salty people. Yeah. But it worked out for me. Yeah. Right. And look, that's just the name. That's just the name of the game. That's what I was saying to you, Rhea. So we were trying to say to Rhea for a week, I'm like, you,

You won. Everyone's going to be pissed. You won. You took the money. Let me tell you, they love you or they're jealous. Thank you. The end. That's it. And you tell them I told them that. We got to clip that. We got to clip that. It's from Boston Rob himself. But I think now people are seeing, I'm sure your daughters have shown you, we just talked about this, the edits, but this story with Amber and you proposing at the finale. Yeah.

What was going through your mind when you did that? Like, were you so nervous that she was going to be like, what the hell? I mean, she was wearing an I heart Rob shirt. So, you know, which she didn't, which I didn't know she had on until the very last second in the green room. She took it off. She like switch shirts. Um,

But yeah, it was a good hedge, right? Yeah. Thank God. I'm just kidding. You know, we're going to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary in April. That's amazing. Congrats. So thank you. April what? 16. Nice. Yeah.

So I think, you know, it worked out the way it was supposed to. Yeah. Well, that's amazing. Congratulations. Yeah, thanks. It's just an incredible story because like you said, you won, you found the love of your life, you lost also, big statues. Four daughters. Four daughters. My kids, oh,

I love right now they're watching all of this and like they could not care one bit about me you know like not that they don't care but like you know they're watching Traders do you think they're rooting like a little bit against you sometimes no no they're not they're not they're rooting for me but they're always like I'm always embarrassing them like every time I do something do they have any favorites me besides you um

They like Dylan. Yeah. Yeah. We grew up with Zach. They're growing up with Dylan. Yeah. So I think that's about it. Yeah. Right. And Dylan likes you, so that makes sense. And it's, I would imagine there's a lot of other people

shows that these people are from that they don't fully know who these people are. And I didn't either, you know? So like to me, like I formed a great relationship with Chris shell and with Nikki, they didn't show it last episode, but we worked really well together, like getting the heads up on top of the statues. And, um,

Sierra too. Sierra, Chrishell, Nikki, Dylan, all four of them. I became pretty good friends with, and we weren't like, you know, I didn't know of them or their shows or anything after. Yeah. That's awesome. I cannot wait. Like I already mentioned the rest of this season, it's already off to such a good start and I can't wait to see where it ends up. And I think, you know, we can't, and I don't even want to look at your face because I don't want to see what happens, but like

Oh, you think you can read me? You won one show and all of a sudden you got the skills, right? Not like that. Not like that. Not like that. I just... I didn't even mean it like that. One show, one little surviving barstone and all of a sudden Riga's a pro. I didn't mean it like that. I just meant I don't want to know if you go home.

Oh my god, that's so funny. No, I certainly don't think that about myself. Wait, I do want to ask. You just brought it up, but when you hear about Surviving Barcelona, you're like, this is a joke. Truthfully, are you like, this is pathetic? Honestly, the first time I watched it a little bit and then

I haven't seen the ending. Like, I obviously know that you won and everything, but I became more invested in it this time. Yeah. For sure. Like, did you watch a different season before this one? Yeah. Have there only been two? Have there been more than two? There's been four. Okay, no. So then I probably have seen either the last two or the first one and this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably the last one. This one was amped up a lot. This was like on a larger scale. They've also raised the prize pot has gone up substantially since they started.

I don't want to like officially form an alliance with you on air because I don't want anybody else to like hear about that. Right, right. But we'll talk later. Well, you met Tommy Smokes. I did, I did. He's like a survivor fanatic. Survivor podcast. Yeah, he thinks, and Tommy, he thinks he's like the best of the best. Yeah, that's what he said to me. I mean, he would actually like cut off a limb, I think, to go on to,

to actually be on the show. Oh yeah? Has he ever applied? No, he's tried. I think he's tried a lot of avenues. Now he's trying to just get on every other show so that he can get to Survivor. That's not the way to do it. No one has casted him on another show. It's not like he's gotten to those and then done it. Maybe we gotta have a one-on-one.

one casting advice. Yeah, you do because he would do literally anything to be on Survivor. Like, truly anything. My last question was, did you have any, have you had any interaction with

with Bob since the end of the show? Bob the Drag Queen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I mean, I sent him a message the other night after it was over and just said, you know, like it was out of big respect, you know? And he just responded like with a heart back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I think Bob is definitely...

the type of person that understands the game, understands it was game and, you know, didn't work out the way he wanted. But I feel like if I didn't get him, then it wouldn't be soon before he was coming after me. Totally. Yeah. I think that's, I think that's very fair. Have you had to send those messages a lot in the past after shows you've done? I don't, I don't send them. Or are you kind of just like, it's the game? Like, honestly, the only reason I sent it to Bob was like, cause truly like I, like, um,

I hadn't had any interaction with them to like, you know, like talk about it, but I wanted them to know it was because out of respect. And no, I don't. I mean, like I separate it. No problem. It's a game. Yeah. Like you go, you play. And like some people are like, it's more than just a game. Like I get it, but like it's not. You can't let them live rent free in your head. It has to be the other way around. Okay. Yeah.

That's good advice. Look at me. You better wipe that scowl off your face and be proud and screw all of this. No, I am proud. I am proud. Exactly. I am proud. Exactly. For sure. Yeah. You guys came in here at the right time. You did. You and Parvati came in at the right time. What did she say? She said the same thing. She said that, you know, you won, so. Yeah, but not only did you win, you won fair and square playing within the rules of the game. You know what I mean? For sure. Yep.

Absolutely. Right. People did vote for me. You know, go and get some boxes of Kleenex and every single person that is like weird to you, just like put one on their desk. Well, it's not even the people here. It's honestly not the people here. Like it's just like the reaction in general. Like social media? Yeah, like

That's the real thing. Oh, forget it. Yeah, no. They're crying because I was crying, but I'm like, you're crying. You know, that whole thing. See, I think because the internet was brand new when I first started doing these shows, I don't have that same reaction to social. Right, right, right. That is true. And I also feel like it's been now the respect,

is on your name as a player so much that it's like people are like, okay, there it is. Because it's like those first few seasons, who knows? Social media really does change. Of course. It just can be so effective because it really does. And it's like you could play a great game and even on these shows that are on now, if social media loves you,

casting they'll want you on other shows they'll want you doing this so it's it's it's crazy but like truly like a long time ago I wrote a book called the Boston Rob Rule book and rule number one is in the book is you have to know who you are know yourself and

And like these shows, Survivor, Deal or No Deal Island, The Traders, Surviving Barstool is not the place where you go to figure out who you are as a person. And if you're using feedback and life lessons from that, you're going to miss the boat. Okay. It's going to leave you at the shore. You have to know who you are and what you stand for before. Because that's not real life. Like those are games. Exactly. Right. So like...

I mean, that's just it. You can't let the haters, you know. You said it before. Yeah, they hate you. They hate you, they're jealous. They're jealous. They love you, they're jealous. They hate you and they're jealous. They love you and they're jealous. Both things. Rob, thank you so much for joining us. We're so excited to watch the rest of the season of The Traders and see what happens Thursday nights on Peacock.

Nine o'clock Eastern, I believe. Yes. Yeah, new episode. I really like, I like refresh Peacock on Thursday nights until I know that the show, sometimes, you know, it's like maybe a little earlier. Right, right. I'm like, come on, come on. A couple minutes early, they put it on. I know. So we are, we're so locked in. Everybody is. It's been great. This past episode was fantastic.

So. And Deal or No Deal Island After Show. Yes. On Wednesdays. Yes. So that's how I originally found out about you two girls. I saw the interview you did with Joe Maganello. Yeah. Last season. Yep. Who's also a big fan of Traders. Yeah, he is. We talked the other night. He called me like Friday morning for like an hour. We talked and the boy's like, no, no, no.

But he's awesome. And he really is a fan too. So he probably just wanted to pick your brain about the show and everything. That's incredible. Wow, it all comes. Thank you, Joe, for leading Boston Rob. Thank you, Joe. Are you rooting for poverty on Deal or No Deal Island? Of course. Just want to make sure. Yeah. Yeah.
