All right, welcome back everybody to another episode of the pod has spoken.

We are into season 44 of Survivor.

Pretty soon, well Survivor is older than me now in numbers,

but not in true years.

They do two a year obviously so it's going to keep

surpassing me by more and more and we are here with I would say a friend I think a

friend. Right Sydney, Sydney Bucksbaum, entertainment weekly writer who I got to know when I was

on the Challenge USA through some interviews with her and I thought she's

fun and then I got a tweet from you that as soon as Jeff Prob's podcast announced, you tweeted at me and were like, well, maybe this will

replace like my must listen to weekly podcast, which has up into that point, then the pod has spoken and I knew if we got you on

Then you'd have no choice but to remain loyal to us

Yeah, you were really playing the survivor social game even in the, even just on Twitter, like I loved it.

Yeah, I gotta be honest, I was just mainly joking in that tweet because I have since listened to Jeff's

podcast and it's really fun to listen to but it just feels like an extension of the show so

don't worry this is still my favorite survivor podcast.

I will continue to listen to this on a weekly basis.

That has not changed.

A big relief.

And that will do it for this episode of The Pod has spoken.

Just kidding. I also was not really threatened, also in good fun, I was like,

Jeff's podcast will be different and also will be, you know, produced by the same people that

produced the TV show, so I assumed it would be in a similar vein and so I'm happy to be here I'm happy Riley is here
