| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Alter Call. I am your host, Tane, here with a new episode. |
| 0:16.7 | Y'all know that I love Survivor. I never cover it because I have to enjoy some stuff, but I had to |
| 0:23.6 | talk about Survivor 50. And the first person to talk about it with me this season is Mel. Hi, Mel. How are you? |
| 0:31.3 | Hi. I did not realize I'm the first to get to talk about Survivor. This is so exciting because I never |
| 0:35.6 | really get to talk about Survivor. Like if I do podcast guesting stuff, it's usually other shows. So I'm very excited because Survivor is my, |
| 0:43.1 | I mean, I obviously watched the real world and stuff back in the day, but I was a Survivor day one. |
| 0:48.0 | Yeah. |
| 0:48.2 | This is my bread and butter. Yes. I told the people a while ago, like Survivor was my first foray into reality TV when I moved to America. |
| 0:59.2 | So back from day one, when Richard won, and I was like, whoa, this is so cool. |
| 1:04.0 | What a concept. |

But now I'm like, you know, don't miss it. It's my fave. Yes, I did take a break. I did take a break at some point where I just couldn't fit it in at that time, which is crazy because I feel like I had more time now and somehow I fitted in now. |
| 1:33.2 | And I did not go back. We have some more shows. I didn't go back to catch up. But it's still, again, my trifecta, it is Survivor of the Challenge and Traders. So a little bit of housekeeping before we dive into that, just reminding you guys that |
| 1:47.2 | Patreon.com slash alticall M-AFS. |
| 1:50.4 | Some new bonus episodes are up there for you to listen to. |
| 1:53.7 | Just did Inside the Manosphere with Brian. |
| 1:56.8 | Oh my gosh. |
| 1:57.7 | Like I mentioned there, it was uncomfortable for me to watch. Did you watch that |
| 2:02.6 | mail? No, but I actually saw somebody else leave a review and they said the exact same thing. |
