Coming you live from my apartment. It's Rob has a podcast and now here's the guy who got as many votes to stay tonight as Riley did. I'm Rob Cesternino. Hello everybody. We are back here after a very exciting first 30 minutes of a big brother episode tonight followed by 30 other minutes of television. And so we'll talk about it all pressure cooker next week. Hey, that's something.

But there's a lot from the fallout from the flip that almost happened. And the guy who watched it all. Taren Armstrong is back with us tonight. Taren, how are you?

I'm great. And I just want to make sure everyone else is great too. I just want to, you know, give some instructions here tonight for the podcast if you're listening. And also for the podcasters.

Find a buddy. Right everyone. Find your buddy. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Okay.

Listen, listen. Okay. Good. Good. All right. Great. Great. All right. So happy to have you back here with us tonight. Taren should not listen to this podcast without a buddy. That's all I'm saying. Yes. Right. Okay. We all know that. All right. And then back with us. The voice of the people. It's Melissa. Melissa. How are you doing tonight?

I am doing well. I feel like the episode itself was so horrible. But it like semi redeemed itself by the announcement of pressure cooker that I just like forgot about the entirety of the episode. And now I'm just like, okay, pressure cooker. I'm so excited.

So yeah, I, I don't even know what happened anymore. I'm just looking forward to next week. Okay. Well, I think we're going to have an exciting week in between now and then, of course, we don't know who the HOH is going to be and a lot to unfold. But the pressure cooker coming next week.

Of course, excited to have here tonight, talking to BB 25 with us. Don't know if he's related to any famous celebrities. Here is Jason Raid.

Rob, how's it going? Can I listen? I know we just started, but can we just make this like real quick? I'm really starting to feel my butt.

Okay. All right. Good to know. Good to know. Okay. All right. So we are ready to go. We're here live after the episode. And of course, sending your questions chat as we talk about everything that happened.

And again, we saw some really fun stuff in the first half of the episode. And I thought they used that time well. But Karen, I feel like gone are the days that we're getting an HOH competition on the Thursday night episode.

Yes. Since last season, basically, they have, they've dropped the Sunday comp, which has been, you know, for the last few years, a twist competition.

Which is good with just we like the HOH competition. Yeah, I agree. I would rather lose the Thursday, HOH than have a really bad power competition in place.

But I would still just prefer a competition on Thursday's episode and maybe just give us no comp on Sunday. But that's way out of the realm of possibility, I guess.

I mean, they give us no comp on Thursday's now. I don't, I don't get why we can't get no comp. I guess because like the comp is essentially the voting on Thursday. I guess that's what we're doing.

Yeah. I think they also probably saved some money by having only two comps a week as opposed to three as well. And like frankly, based on some of the competitions that they're coming up with, you know, maybe like the three competitions is hard there.

Maybe just don't spend so much money on comps when all you need to do is throw CDs into a bucket. You know what I mean? A throwback. And to bring back another throwback.

I will say I, I do, if we're not going to get a competition, I do prefer that they didn't even bother starting it. I don't need to waste five minutes on like, all right. House guests, are you ready?

How here are the rules and all just to like be reiterated, reiterated to us on Sunday. Anyway, we saw what the comp was in like a three second flash at the end of the thing. That's all I need.

We'll talk through everything from tonight in great detail. However, the big news of the night is that next Thursday, we're going to have the return of the pressure cooker.

The only time it was ever run was back in BB six and now all these years later, the pressure cooker is back on Thursday night.

Karen, what does the pressure cooker mean to you?
