S33E07 Andy Drinks Whine
by Nick Wester
It’s all over and everything is awful, we’re so disconsolate over Michaela’s ouster that we’re just going through the motions–only not really. But we give her the farewell she deserves, then discuss the coming merger. More

S33E06 KILLennials vs Gen-AXE
by Nick Wester
T errible Crypt-Keeper humor aside, we discuss a very good episode of this season in which Michaela runs roughshod over everyone in challenges and while discovering idols. She really is just the best. One member of a power couple is voted off and we look forward to the remaining member’s rip-roaring revenge–except that we know […] More

S33E04 Jeff Fell Down
by Nick Wester
Well hockey season is finally here and we’re ready to dig into Matthews Mania and–oh, sorry, wrong podcast. We talk quite a bit about Jeff Probst being hit by a wave because it’s always funny to see people fall down, right? Justice strikes again and a not-particularly liked player is voted out of the game, […] More

S33E02 Exile Island Again
by Nick Wester
A series of unfortunate events led last night’s recording to be destroyed before it could be edited, so we hastily slap together a brand new recording because WE LOVE YOU and YOU DESERVE NICE THINGS on a CONSISTENT SCHEDULE. We discuss an anticlimactic medical situation, a found immunity idol, wuv goggles, and the nihilistic […] More

S33E01: Participation Tarp
by John Pingel
Season 33 is finally underway! Millennials! Gen-X! A mis-placed Baby Boomer! Action words! Exclamation points! The episode begins with a bombshell that is not really a bombshell at all, but still leads to an interesting editorial decision we discuss. We then move on to wanting to slap the Triforce Alliance and how one castaway sealed […] More

S33E00: Draaaaaft!
by John Pingel
The Summer hiatus is nearly over and Survivor: Millennials vs Gen-X is about to begin, so after spending the obligatory amount of time talking about the de facto official NOTLG Risk game we very quickly dive into breaking down our thoughts on the upcoming season and its contestants. Can you guess by now which hosts […] More

S32E13 User Error
by John Pingel
So the penultimate episode of this season proved to be rather anti-climactic, but leads to an interesting situation in which there will be no goats taken to the end. Some how, some way, almost in spite of itself, this season has shaped up to have a dramatic finish that we look forward to–mostly because this […] More

S32E12 Did Somebody Say Blue Label?
by John Pingel
Ponderosa was so bugnuts bizarre this week that we had to open with it. Okay, well, strictly speaking we opened with five minutes of hockey-talk that loosely segued into Survivor, but then we talked about Ponderosa because it was just that bugnuts. Fantasy is getting testy as players continue to be eliminated and we seriously […] More

S32E11 – COLESLAW?!?!
by John Pingel
Brian and Andy are hostless in this episode as Nick ducks out early, but have no fear! We discuss all the hot topics, like Julia and Mark the Chicken. BUT WAIT, IS THAT COLESLAW?!?! Actually, coleslaw derails this episode pretty hard. Most we talk about how this week’s vote could only have gone one way […] More

S32E10 With Special Guest: Andy!
by John Pingel
We discuss a heeeelllllluvvvvaaaan episode featuring the platonic ideal of backstabs, in which one player we love tells another player we sort of are okay with, “Who, me? What’s a super-idol? You mean Utada Hikaru? Now she’s a super idol, but what’s that got to do with you being voted out?” Maybe not in those […] More

S32E09 Operation Domino
by John Pingel
Nick and Brian power through as quickly as possible so we can watch hockey, and in the process somehow cover the action of Debbie’s ouster in more detail than in a longer episode. Weird. We talk about what might be the best immunity challenge of the season and discuss our mutual desire to shove Scot […] More

S32E08 There Can Be Only One Nick
by John Pingel
After last week’s disappointing finale, we finally get to say goodbye to a player none of us had much empathy for. Then we find empathy for him after watching Ponderosa and wondering, “Why did he just act like THIS the whole time?” Meanwhile, Cydney seizes control of the game and a rocking, kickass hat. More
