I'm Yasei Salek and I'm the host of Bandsplain, a show where we explain cult bands and iconic artists by going deep into their histories and discographies.

We're back with a brand new season at our brand new home, the Ringer Podcast Network,

tackling a whole new batch of artists, from Grunge Gods to Power Pot Pioneers to New Metal Legends

and many, many more.

Listen to new episodes every Thursday. Metal Legends and many, and many more.

Listen to new episodes every Thursday, only on Spotify. Welcome back everybody to another episode of the pod has spoken this is episode six

mergeatory even though it's spelled mergatory and uh...

we are on season 43 of survivor. I am your host Tyson Apostle together with another one of our hosts

Riley Maccatee. Riley, what's up dude? How's it going Tyson?

Great, I mean this episode was amazing and we got it. We got the Baca showdown. We've been waiting. We have been waiting for it. The gabler versus Ellie showdown has come to a head.

Our guest of honor for the episode,

truly lucked out on getting what I would think

is going to be one of the best episodes of the season. I think it really, really was. And this is a friend of mine, I think our friend, my opinion and my take is our friendship grew and blossomed and became a friendship on the

Challenge USA which aired in the summer. She may say that we're not friends at all

who merely acquaintances or something to that effect and I will support whatever

she says our relationship truly is. Everyone from Survivor Heroes versus Healersers, Heelers,

Desi Williams, Desi, how's it going?

What's up? I'm good.

I have to say that until I get a pickleball gift in the mail,

like Andrew huh.
