One more episode left to go in Survivor 50 and we're getting down to the final five castaways remaining. Unfortunately for fans of the show, Wednesday's penultimate episode sent home two fan favorites in Rick Devens and Cirie Fields.
Brett & Danielle break down this week's episode, how it allowed both to go home without twists or any other chicanery and who we have left in Aubry, Jonathan, Joe, Tiffany & Rizo.
Later in the show, they catch up with some new (and old) shows in Apple TV's Widow's Bay, Netflix's Legends,and Dani finishes her watch of FX's Fargo season 1. Most importantly, they discuss Sunday night's Euphoria and how it plays with our own conceptions about the celebrities it depicts.
Lastly, they discuss the 2003 Wim Wenders film Perfect Days and how nice it must be to wear great clothes and clean toilets all day.

Two more episodes of Survivor 50 to go and the endgame is taking shape. We said goodbye to Emily and Ozzy this week in a double tribal on one of the most electric episodes of the season. Also, Tiffany's immunity blunder, more psychotic behavior from fireman Joe and has Rizo become rizz-less?
Later in this episode, we chat more about episodes 2-4 of Euphoria season 3, Dani watched Wuthering Heights and more Zendaya talk than you can handle!

After months of anticipation, MrBeast finally graced our television sets on Survivor 50 and... it wasn't terrible. Yes, sometimes a broken clock is right twice a day, and a twist can actually be fun and benefit players we like.
That's what happened this week as Rick Devens flipped the MrBeast coin (I can't believe I'm typing those words) and made an electric 40-minute tribal one for the ages.
Brett & Dani break down Wednesday's episode, the success of the twist, what worms or slugs we'd eat at an auction and the never-ending gifts that are Joe's facial expressions of dismay.
Also, Brett talks about having watched Michael this week and what the film gets so wrong about coming so close to addressing the issues we've known about Michael Jackson for the entire latter portion of his life.

What a loaded episode today! Brett & Danielle kick off with a juicy episode of Survivor 50 that unfortunately saw the end of Christian at the hands of none other than Jimmy Fallon. Of course, a debate about twist fairness ensues, but more importantly, we discuss cooking rice, Emily Flippen's flippiness, Cirie's status, Jeff's challenge participation & more.
Later in the episode, we talk about some off-screen Pitt drama, No Other Choice, Is This Thing On & the movie debacle of the year so far: Michael.
Also, sea salt, stoicism, STELLA & more.

Brett & Danielle are back with an all-new episode after Survivor 50's shocking fake idol play on Wednesday night's episode. Yes, Chekhov's fake idol buried at the Tribal Council set did make an appearance in a wild play from Rick that may or may not have swayed a vote against Coach and Chrissy in a double-tribal twist that no one saw coming. We talk about the state of Survivor twists and how they often succeed or fail based on who goes home as a result -- not how good the twist actually is.
In more you may be bad at watching TV discourse, we break down The Pitt's season two finale and most importantly, whether or not Dr. Robby is taking home Baby Jane Doe.
Closing out the show, we discuss Euphoria S3, Beef S2 and the subtle art of liking shows that no one else seems to be enjoying. All of that, plus your listener questions.

Brett & Danielle are back for another episode of Hey Jeff where they discuss Wednesday night's episode of Survivor 50 where Dee was sent home after some back and forth tussles with Coach and Jonathan over the 'right' way to play Survivor.
Also, Coach's gameplay gets more erratic, Aubry's idol play is somewhat contentious and all of this leads us into tangents on lint traps, smoke detectors and more.
Speaking of the 'right' way to do things -- the dIsCoUrSe this week has been about whether or not the general viewing audience is watching The Pitt correctly. As the show wraps up its second season and its plotlines around Drs. Robby, Al-Hashimi and Whitaker come to a close -- does ANYONE know how to watch TV correctly? Or are we all mush-brained now thanks to modern media?
Also, we wrap up answering your listener questions & discussing the how-did-they-do-that joy of Nirvana The Band The Show The Movie.
And for your reading pleasure: the Costco Connection magazine article about using the brakes on your car.

Jeff Probst introduced the newest Survivor twist with Wednesday night's bLoOd mOoN, and it sure did make the show's fandom go nuts...with rage.
Brett & Danielle recap what was essentially a relatively rote (for New Era) Survivor triple-tribal that sent home Kamilla, Genevieve & Colby. Sure, three audience faves went home perhaps a bit too early, but on the other hand, who cares? It's Survivor. They debate fairness vs. bad luck and ask everyone to take a big, Shark Bowl-sized chill pill.
Also on the episode, Cirie's endorsement of the poly lifestyle, more theories with two episodes left of The Pitt and Danielle explains the Summer House drama.

Brett & Danielle are back with more Survivor reactions from season 50.
In the first true double-tribal of the season, Christian looked death in the face and laughed as he maneuvered his way out of an early exit and seemingly cozied up to Ozzy enough to oust Angelina.
Meanwhile on another beach, Charlie's hatred of Rizo boiled over to the point where he looked like the king doofus. The Swiftie got swiftly voted out as Rizo continues his now two-season streak of riding a pocketed immunity idol deep into the game.
Also on this episode, Danielle chats about the delights of Send Help and Brett delights in the delightfully Canadian Nirvana The Band The Show The Movie.

Was it the episode of Survivor that marked the beginning of the end? Brett & Danielle react to Wednesday's Survivor episode that featured the Zac Brown team reward that sent the fandom into a tizzy and revealed the rot at the core of Survivor production for so long.
With even more celebrity cameos on the way for Season 50, has the show jumped the shark and is it possible to lose the good will established from the excellent first few episodes of the season?
Elsewhere on the episode today, checking in on the latest episode of The Pitt, random Oscars thoughts & your listener questions.

Brett & Danielle are back to recap the third episode of Survivor 50. Chaos Q? More like Chaos Emily. America's favorite neurotic queen, Financial Analyst Emily Flippen, returned with a vengeance, betrayed every single one of her tribemates and set off a domino effect of events that led to Q's ousting at Tribal Council.
In Emily's defense, Q did tell Mike White to vote for him. So, Goodbye Q, our true chaos king. What worked for you in Survivor 46 simply couldn't work in an all-returners season.
Elsewhere in the show, we talk about the Rizo/Charlie Gen Z male beef, and the growing MAGA-pilled seniors alliance of Joe, Coach, Colby & Chrissy.
Wrapping up the show, we take listener questions about Jeff's rap, Danielle claims that the idea of restaurants are over, we talk some about the latest episode of The Pitt and somewhere in all of that -- Brett talks about his latest dental endeavor. Jam packed episode. Let's do it.
