In 2023, Bachelor Star Clayton Eckard was accused of fathering twins.

But the pregnancy appeared to be a hoax.

“You doctor this particular test twice in silence, right?”

I doctor the test once. It took an army of internet detectives to uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg Olesby and I can manage any. My mind was blown.

You are watching this with us back again. How fun is it to watch season 50 and know that you're not on that beach? Oh my god, it's so nice, especially coming out the heels of like being in the center of microscope for the last season. I can now relax and be a fan again and watch season 50, these icons and also my friends who are on season 49 with me.

“So it's extra special this season to watch as a bit.”

I'm sure, but even knowing the behind the scenes now Sophie, like tell us now that you're watching it as a viewer because I do that with traders. Like I know now what it was really like that day and how long it took and all that type of stop is there.

Like is it like more exciting just knowing what they're actually going like you got to know like by the third day like they're frigging hungry.

Yeah. No, it's true. I remember watching this episode back. I was like damn, that's a really hard challenge for it to be like day eight or nine because at this point, you're hitting it like your first hump of hunger and like your body starting to react to it in a weird way.

We're like when you stand up from sitting down, you get a little foggy and a little dizzy. And then you're having to do these grueling challenges at the random point of the day. Like at the hottest point of the day and it's so taxing on your body. And I really felt for them just like knowing how it felt out there. I feel pathetic now, right?

Yeah, literally feeling it because we're seeing like such a little like piece of it and they're dealing with it the whole day. So physically. Yeah. When you're watching, you know, Vaught to like try to do that challenge and the, you know, cues gone now.

And so like it's it's it's Mike and Ozzy are like the strong guys on that team. And you can see that they have no more energy like they can't even get that boat through that net.

They haven't had flint since like the regular administration, like.

All right. They're so screwed. Yeah. Let's let's just rip through the episode kind of be by beat. You know, after the travel council, Ozzy's determined to become Mike White's number one ally.

“Is he doing that for the game or because he wants to be on the next season of Why Lotus?”

I think I know Ozzy. I feel like he's doing it for a cameo on the White Lotus. That's so funny. You got, you got to do what you got to do. He's not even wrong with that.

Opportunities. He's the cast or biver, which is smart. And I think that's probably why he was so upset after the, you know, the episode. And I'm jumping. But like, yeah, I think it was, and maybe a little bit of both.

Yeah. Yeah. Fair enough. Seal is having a talent show. Yeah.

I think this is, I imagine a lot of this stuff. Happens that gets left on the cutting room for with you guys. Yeah. 100%. Like, we didn't fillers for the time, right?

Like, use their sitting on an island. What are you going to do? And entertain each other. I agree. I just thought, like, with so many, um, fan favorites left.

Like, I was surprised that they left that. Like, there's surely there's something, so we're eased doing it. That's more entertaining than, then Brazil doing a Mickey Mouse impression. I mean, I'm glad they left it in because I had to hear that stupid impression. Night on 49.

And I actually had to tell I loved him. I loved him. I love, yes, I love him. He's like a little brother to me. But like, he, I told him before 50, I'm like, don't do that impression.

Like, these people are going to hate you. And I guess I worked out for him on this year. He won. Yeah. I mean, but Charlie's targeting him now, though.

So I don't know if that's hardly really is. Do you think Charlie's justified for not liking him? So much. I don't know if you guys remember, but the reason why he's targeting him was because he couldn't hold them, that he didn't vote for me.

Yeah. And he won't kick it over it. Yeah. And I mean, selfishly, I'm like, thank you Charlie. That's really nice.

I wish he would have voted for me. But at the same time, I think getting one track minded on Survivor is pretty dangerous. Like, if there's not a real reason to go after someone, like, Brazil seems to want to work with Charlie.

“That's something that I feel like you should keep in mind more than a personal vendetta.”

You might have or some bad get your caring from a previous season. So I don't know if this is going to work out, and my poor friend is going to get voted out, or it's going to bite Charlie in the butt. I have a feeling that Charlie is annoyed by Brazil, and he's looking for something to get. So he's like using this grudge thing, just because he's like, I got to get this Mickey Mouse.

He's annoying. We don't mean to call your friend annoying, but like, we just think the other people think he's annoying. I know. I think that's happening. I could be wrong.

That's what happened on R season 2. I feel like Brazil, like, superficially, if you don't know him deeply, you might think that. Because especially all these older players, they're looking at him like this little immature person.

Started crying in the first episode.

So if you know there's no room for tears on this damn island. I know, but to be fair, he had just played 25 days, like a week before. That's true. But we didn't think of it that way. We didn't know he only had a nine day break, and the kids just wanted to go home and add McDonald's at this point.

Yeah. But yeah, no. I don't know. I feel like that could be happening. People are getting annoyed of him, but I guess I feel like, with the trailer we saw for next week,

it's going to come to a head at some point soon. So I'm excited to see what happens. Yeah. I bet he wishes you were there to have his back now. Oh, for sure.

For sure. Back at the Colo Tribe, Aubrey's looking for an idol in Genevieve's calling for her screaming like, Yes. The regala commercial, which is my chef's kiss. Yeah.

And the fact that like there wasn't a regala commercial when we went to break is a huge missile on CBS's purpose. Sure. I'm not in the ad sales over there. In a turn of events, Genevieve finds the idol instead.

She gets her second boomerang idol and sends it to Rizzo.

She's not telling anyone this time, even her closest allies about it.

“So Sophie, paint a picture for us, how hard is it to find idols out there?”

It is so hard. I thought that they were going to be so easily visible. Yeah. But I think what happens is like, they're not there the whole time. Because you will look and look and look.

And like, you'll look in the same tree that it ends up being in. But like, you know, it wasn't put. It wasn't there. Oh, okay. So I think that they pick and choose when they put it in there.

But it is really, really hard to find it. I don't want, I didn't find an idol, but I found an advantage. And it was like the same thing, like in the same little package and idols in. So I, it was like in the tiny crevice of this huge tree. And I don't know how I ended up seeing it.

But it was your grandmother. Sure. I genuinely think it was that because I don't know how I saw it.

If I would have like turned my head a little quicker, it would have been missed. So do you think Genevieve's finding the, the, the, the two of these idols is talent or luck.

“I don't, I, I think a little bit of both like that's, it's crazy.”

And I feel so bad for her because I think it's, it's hard enough to find one. But to find two and then have to give them both away is such a slap in the face. Like that never happens.

Then never happens on survivor.

It's the first time she's saying that giving this away to Brazil this time is going to, she's going to use this her advantage anyway. Well, yeah, and I mean, now she has two people in the game that she's given. That she's given a huge advantage to. So even if she doesn't get it back, she at least has these like all the breaches that she can work off of.

Right. Right. Left bridge down the road. So that in itself is really powerful. Um, but obviously having an idol is, is even, is more powerful than that.

Because if she goes to tribal council, those people aren't on her tribe. They're not going to be able to hope her.

The gameplay of it is that she effectively thinks that Brazil is going to get voted out.

Because she wants to get it back, right? So she thinks that we need to play her out there. That's exactly why she gave it to Aussie too. She thought that those two would be have a high chance of going home. So which is good strategy.

Like thinking, um, thinking who will go home and then she might, it'll boomerang off them and then go to her. Marshmatton is here. And if you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got you covered on the podcast.

It's a great and funny. You look at the top four number one seeds. What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back to the final four. Obviously, you kind of is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament.

“But I be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas.”

Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to you con and that right after that would be Texas. As you see, it's so deep and so thick and just about everything. I really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU.

Only once I can possibly upset you con. I'm flagrant at funny. We're giving our unfilter take some of the biggest moments. The conversations everyone's having, so whether you're bracket is busted, or you just want the latest on the tournament.

We got you. Listen to flagrant and funny. The Carrie Champion and Jamal Hill on the iHeart Radio app. Apple podcast or wherever you picture podcasts. Presented by Capital One, Founding Partner of iHeart Cleaning Sports.

Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age? What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He's still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagged Getting change the paddock forever?

That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Hermann. And these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip. A Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. When each episode of different guests and I will go deeper into the wacky Mishap scandals and sagas,

both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to no grip on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Bailey Taylor and this is Icarl. You may know me from my Icarl series I've done on the streets of New York over the years.

Well, I've got good news. I am bringing those interviews and many more to this podcast. Yes, we will talk about the style and the success. But we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations and the real work with the women shaping culture right now.

As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated.

“So you have to work extra hard and you have to push the narrative in a way that doesn't compromise who you are in your integrity.”

You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja. Each week I have unfiltered conversations with female founders, creatives, and leaders to talk about ambition, visibility, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the public eye. Because being an Icarl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it. I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe don't do this every day,

just so they know what's really going on. I feel like pulling the curtain back is important. Listen to Icarl with Bailey Taylor on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, this is Josh from Stuff You Should Know, with a message that could change your life. The stuff you should know, Think Spring Podcast Playlist is available now,

whether Spring is sprung in your neck of the wood yet or not. The stuff you should know, Think Spring Playlist will make you want to get your overalls on, get outside and get your hands in the dirt.

I became a millionaire overnight, but lost everything that actually mattered.

“Wait a minute, Sophia, did you just say he lost everything?”

That's right, it's an eriting too much drama week on the okay story time podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, "I just inherited a fortune after losing my mom, and now my girlfriend's entire family is coming out of nowhere with their hands up. One sibling wants me to fund their whole lifestyle. Another vanished for four years and suddenly reappeared, and my girlfriend is already giving my money away." Hold on, Sophia, so the girl he wants to marry is already sending money out the door.

And that's just the beginning. He makes a plan, sets up a trust, and finally thinks he has everything under control.

Okay, so things work out then? Let's just say the people he trusted the most are the ones who ended up shocking him the most. To just the money end up being worth going through all that? Find out, listen to the okay story time podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Callow wins the immunity challenge where Zack Brown shows up.

That's some high stakes. Let me tell you I would have won. I would have fought to the death for that. You like Zack Brown, Dolores? I like, you know what it is, I like Zack Brown, but I mean, I just thought it was just a really good challenge. I just liked the reward was so big that I would, I love challenges. I don't like the other stuff on the island. I don't mind the challenges and stuff, but for him I'd be, I'd be fighting for it.

Yeah. Could I ask you this? I want to know what you really think of this. Do you think that Zack Brown is a super fan or do you think his label was like, hey, we got you a prime time spot on CBS to play your new song in front of a bunch of like, a macy to people. And you get to do your favorite thing, which is spearfishing for some reason.

Do you want to go do it? Or do you think he's just like, I would love to go do this because I love survivor. So I'll be honest with you. I know who the hell he was. You know that that meme of Kiki Palmer that's like, I'm sorry to this man, but I don't know this man. So I was out there and be like, I think did that grand entrance and he was giving all these hints. And I was like, who? But either way, like any reward on survivors is a good reward.

So it's good reward to win. There's a lot of fish, sweet plantains I have with like every meal because it's like a Cuban thing. And I love that. But I personally think like, yes, he's probably a big survivor fan. And like, maybe has asked Jeff, like, can I be on the season like 20 times?

And they were finally like, let's just give him a freaking reward segment.

Yeah. Because they're not going to actually put him on a real season. That's my guess. But they I personally thought he had too much screen time.

“That's what they want. He's got a big following.”

So they probably want to be like, personally, I want survivor to watch the contestants. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There were some people that I'm a fan, like I'm a fan of on this season. That got zero confessionals and Zach Brown got four. He got four.

Well, that was too much. It was like, it should have been a scene. We watched him go spearfishing.

We heard all about the sharks coming after him.

I get your frustration. I didn't mind watching him because I wanted to see people eat like humans for once. Yeah. But I loved the, you know, the reward of it. I just thought it was like they could have cut it in half, maybe.

I don't disagree with you. Okay. Sophie, I agree with you. Okay.

“In the same vein, do you think that Billie Eilish is really a fan or what?”

So I actually do know she is a fan of the show. But I don't know she was like, I need to be super part of this. I think they may be reached out to her. It was like, do you want to be a part of it? And they gave her ideas and she was a psych.

I think it was that way. Like, she texted Jeff Pro's back saying, I like the boomerang thing. Yeah. I like the boomerang thing. But she hasn't said anything about it.

Yes, I'm like, does she know that she's on this season? She might not even know, but I do believe Zach Brown is a big fan. I just, I do think so too. Yeah. But I also think that his label was like, hey, by the way.

Yeah. This immunity challenge seemed like we talked about it in the top of the show. But it seemed like the hardest one thus far. It was a combination. It seemed like of it being really grueling physically.

But then also you've gone so long without eating. And it really showcases how important it is to get calories in your body. Like before this immunity challenge started, would you like? I know who's going to win and who's going to lose. Yeah.

I didn't have much faith in Aussie's tribe because I've been there where you go to several tribal councils. And again, like, when you go to tribal council, you come back really late. You exert a lot of energy just to get to tribal. Like on the behind the scenes stuff that isn't even on the show.

Like compared to the other tribes who have slept more. They have flint to make fire and potentially cook crabs and stuff. So they're like negative calories, negative energy. And also negative morale. Like they're not.

They don't have a lot of confidence in themselves. And then and so I didn't have a lot of faith that they were going to. They were going to win this.

Well, I don't think Jeff did either because he was like, so if you win the first place,

you get a single along with Zach Brown and he turns to what to. And it's like, and if you get. Think. From what's like, are we going to lose? Yeah, they're like, okay.

Well, I guess you already said it in stone now. Yeah, right? Yeah. Warm out the gods here. And then ended up being true.

So weird. They're like survivors. The only sport where they like they just like handicapped the losers constantly.

“And that's why it creates a like constant cycle of losing.”

And I hope with the next few seasons, like in the 50s, they change it. Because it's not fun to watch the same tribe loses. Like the same people going to tribal council. The same like people they're focusing on in the episode. This isn't different.

It's fun to watch everybody.

But I want to see a shake up. Like I want to see the risk of tribal council. You know what I mean? I don't want to see the same people going. So yeah, it's it's hard to come back for that because like I said,

you're already you have negative calories, negative energy. And you don't you're already like you're kicking the the person while they're down constantly. So how would you switch that up if you were. Playing this game. How the heck would you kind of switch that up.

So we don't see the same people all the time or. Um, I think. I, I was telling the producers out there. I'm like, you guys need to give us rice because they don't give any food anymore. So if you're not eating coconuts, you're not eating anything.

And I don't think the audience cares like they know we're suffering already. If we have a little bit of rice, like I think for entertainment wise, I would have been a way bigger yapper if I had some more calories in me. I would have probably like, I don't know. It kind of puts everybody on the same playing field going into every challenge.

And and maybe also more swaps like swapping the tribes more often. So that there's different strengths and weaknesses on different tribes. I agree with that. Yeah, I don't know what else they could be. I disagree.

Really? You don't like change. Well, let me just tell you like on like the bachelor. Okay. What they would do is they, this is change.

But when I was on the show, they wouldn't turn the lights off at night. So you, it would be really hard to sleep. Oh, wow. And so you'd be super sleep deprived. And when you're kind of like loopy and sleep deprived,

you can make good TV. It makes no sense. And like you get in fights with people for no reason or whatever. I imagine the same thing is true for like if you starve someone, they start to do crazy things because they're not like working on,

you know, all cylinders. Does that make sense?

“I think there's a method to the madness of it all.”

Well, a little bit of rice isn't going to really change. Yeah. It's not going to show my cavity. I like to eat and that's not going to change my mood. It's just going to give me a little bit of energy.

Yeah. I was watching Zach Brown, Crune, to all these, these winners over there drinking beer and, you know, eat in their fish. You know, a bunch of them sort of crying. And so Dolores, you know, Sophie, I'm not a cryer.

She's got a lot of things. I know you're not. But like, these says I have a black heart. Yes. Which would live music in real food after nine days be something that could actually bring

a tear to your eye Dolores. Oh, me, not a chance. There's a matter of fact that'd be pissed off for it. Because you can't get soft now. You don't make me emotional.

Like, I'm not going to, like, I'd be mad. I'd be like, listen, I can't this far without you. And I can't, like, soften up now. Like, this isn't going to be because she for me. I'd be actually mad.

“Would it, would it annoy you seeing the other people cry?”

It annoys me on a good day. Yes. I won't allow that because then you can't play the game. Get out of here. How much did annoy you when we went over to Cilla and D is emotional?

Because she didn't get to meet Zach Brown and she's crying about that. I'd say, yeah, no. I would yell at her. I'd be like, go to a concert when you get home. Shut up.

No, and she won.

Like, she has a million dollars from,

you know, like, she could go get a private meeting with him. Now I want to be at the tickets. And she could even get her hair done and do some makeup, too. She had a little bit of an eye for him. Yeah, I think so.

So, you know, Rizzo finds this boomerang idle that Genevieve sent to him. And he's pretty pumped about it. Uh, Sophie, Rizzo's gameplay in 49 was to flaunt the idols. So, so often that people were kind of scared to vote for him.

So, I would venture to say no. But the good thing about this season is there's so much big fish to fry. Like, there's a winner still left in the game. There's runner-up still left in the game. There's physical huge threats in the game.

Where I feel like these people might be like, Friszo with an eye. Well, I don't even even know he has it yet. But like, it doesn't matter. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Like, even if he doesn't have it.

Like, they're not going to be like, let's get Rizzo out. When we have this cute beast in Jonathan or we have D1 previously.

“Like, I think he's in a pretty good spot.”

Even though Charlie has this like weird Vendetta against him. Like, I think he's in a good spot. Vantu, there seems to be consensus to vote for Angelina to break up the David V. Galayeth alliance. It's very funny to watch this show because whoever they are going to go after in the beginning

is never the person that ends up being, you know,

going to vote out at the end. Mike has conducted operations at Angelina. And he tried to push everyone to vote for Emily instead. Christian, of course, doesn't want to vote for Emily, because he's been working with her since day one.

Mike compares Christian's alliance with Emily to his alliance with Gabby and David V. Galayeth. Were you surprised that Christian got emotional? In this interview, when talking about a move from seven years ago, or is this just him being good at making TV?

I think he's just, I mean, from what I've heard from people, I think he's just good at making TV. But he's very performative. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

And I want to see, like, it gets to me too. Like, I'm rooting for him on this season. And I shouldn't, because he voted in my gross van out. But he, I don't know. I think he doesn't really good job.

“I think he was in that moment justifying what he was ultimately going to do.”

Yeah. And I don't know if it was a good game move. But, um, I don't know. What do you guys think? Do you think it was a good move for him to do?

Career was? No. No. No. I think it was a good game move.

Yeah. So here's the thing. I think that everyone has been starting Mike White. Yeah. I get it.

But it's a little too, it's a, he's got an advantage. He's got this advantage. You know, he's got this idol that he found, which is that he makes a television show that everyone wants to be on. So no, I want to piss him off. Yeah.

Having an advantage makes you dangerous in this game. Also, he's super smart. Yeah. And he's very, he's manipulative. He's a good one.

He's charismatic. Yes. And like he acts like humble and stuff. Yeah. Now for his career.

Not great, because he's not going to get to be quite low to season seven or whatever. Yeah. And he was all right. That was why he was so shocking because they are real friends real life. Yeah.

And you Lena and Christian both had came. He was on the white lotus. And so I was shocked that he did that because here's why I think it's a bad move. Okay.

Because Mike was someone who probably would have never turned on Christian in the game.

And he did that in order to save Emily who seems like a pretty like unreliable ally. Like she's saying all the information he's giving her. She goes to Ozzy and tells him that that Aubrey had an idol. Like he did that whole mess after he saw him like why get out. Someone you know has your back for fact over like a wild card like Emily.

Um, but he has a crash on Emily. I guess wife and it's a no. I'm the island crash game crash. I like wife. I think it's smart because I think that he's not going to be able to manipulate Mike.

But he can with Emily. Okay. I can see that. And Mike likes to take control and you saw that. And I think he played his his cards to early on because he is really good at convincing people to do things.

But maybe he was he's pushing to his agenda. I think a little too much with these all stars they they read into that quickly. And I think it caught up to him and they were like, okay. No, this is going to just keep happening. And he's going to bulldoze like he did the first season he played.

So how dangerous is it or was it smart even Aussie at the loop. I mean Aussie. I don't think Aussie is very spiteful. So I feel like it'll be fine. But I was probably good.

I think telling Aussie would have only done damage. Like they got what they wanted. Done. So I think it was a smart move.

“There's Christian need to pull Emily aside and be like, you need to shut up.”

You need to stop. I think so. Stop doing what you're doing. Yes, a hundred percent. Which doesn't she know better?

She does. But this is why she's on season 50. She did this on her first season.

Like people on like all are Emily flip flop because she's always like.

The last name flip flip. And then they go to flip flop because she's on a lot of flip floppers.

And I think I mean it makes the game interesting when they cast people like that.

“So I think that's why she's on this season.”

Um, I mean it's great TV, but as an ally in the game, it's horrible to have because you never know what's going to happen.

Um, which is why I was like, I don't know if that was right to get Mike out. What they should have done was get Stephanie out. Who was already alone and he could have had both Emily and Mike who ride for him in the game still. [Music] Marshmatton is here and if you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court,

we've got you covered on the podcast, playground and funny. You look at the top four number one seeds. What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back to the final four.

Obviously, you kind is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to you con and that right after that would be Texas. SSC is so deep and so thick and just about everything.

I really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only once I can possibly upset you con. On flagrant and funny, we're giving our unfiltered take some of the biggest moments the conversations everyone's having, so whether you're bracket is busted or you just want

the latest on the tournament, we got you. Listen to flagrant and funny, the Carrie Champion and Jamal heel on the iHeart Radio app. Apple podcast or wherever you picture podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Cleaning Sports.

Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age? What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He's still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction.

And how did a 2023 event called Waga Get-in change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip. A Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under explored pockets of the sport. In each episode a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it.

That have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to no grip on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Bailey Taylor and this is iGirl. You may know me from my iGirl series I've done on the streets of New York over the years. Well, I've got good news. I am bringing those interviews and many more to this podcast.

Yes, we will talk about the style and the success, but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations and the real work with the women shaping culture right now.

As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated.

“So you have to work extra hard and you have to push the narrative in a way that doesn't compromise who you are in your integrity.”

You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja. Each week, I have unfiltered conversations with female founders, creatives, and leaders to talk about ambition, visibility and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the public eye. Because being an iGirl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it. I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe don't do this every day,

just so they know what's really going on. I feel like pulling the curtain back is important. Listen to iGirl with Bailey Taylor on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. [Music] I became a millionaire overnight, but lost everything that actually mattered.

Wait a minute, Sophia, did you just say he lost everything? That's right, it's an aridding too much drama week on the okay story time podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, "I just inherited a fortune after losing my mom, and now my girlfriend's entire family is coming out of nowhere with their hands up. One sibling wants me to fund their whole lifestyle.

Another vanished for four years and suddenly reappeared, and my girlfriend is already giving my money away." Hold on, Sophia, so the girl he wants to marry is already sending money out the door. And that's just the beginning.

He makes a plan, sets up a trust, and finally thinks he has everything under control.

Okay, so things work out then? Let's just say the people he trusted the most are the ones who ended up shocking him the most. To just the money end up being worth going through all that? To find out, listen to the okay story time podcast on the iR Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We had Stephen Fishback on the show and he told us that he is a theory of whoever Jeff talks to at tribal first.

We'll be the one going home. And that seems to that held true with Mike. Oh really? Well, I mean, it's interesting that, you know, he's Jeff is a producer. He knows what everyone's going to do.

“So then he has to get things out of people before it's too late, right?”

So it can be a little telling. And I thought that was interesting. And then just what came out of Mike's mouth, I thought was interesting as well. What a big door. I agree with you.

I agree. And being that he is a producer now, like you could kind of gauge what's going on by watching now that you said that. What he's doing. Because I know when you use your producer mind, you're like, okay, you try to figure out the game well before it happens before they even know what's happening. You can't predict who's going next, right?

Because it's not produced. Yeah. But you're kind of like doing that, but I could see what you're saying. I remember when I was on the bachelor when we were doing rose ceremonies. Obviously there's, it's still, I assume it's similar to survivor.

There's a lot of cameras. Yeah. And so there's a lot of people that they're trying to get coverage of.

But when we were doing rose ceremonies, I always noticed who was like not going to be getting the rose.

Because the camp, then point to one person and get all the coverage like trying to go. Okay. And you be like, well, that guy's screwed. Because like, one's point, all the cameras are pointing at that guy.

“And it's like a similar thing of like, Jeff, why are you talking to me right now?”

Yeah, right. Hey, are you having the camera at the end of that me right now? In the moment, you only see like 10 minutes of maybe even less of a tribal. And it's really like over an hour for us. So he's asking everybody like a lot of questions.

Oh, but you're only saying, okay. That's taking through is what they put in. Interesting. Okay. So it's in the edit.

Yeah, they don't want to tip anybody off at all at any moment. Like they really don't interfere. And Jeff is really good at like not giving any clues and like being hard to read at tribal. So because I tried to look into that too as a fan like watching the show back. I'm like, oh, I have this in the bag.

Like if I'm sitting in the middle, I'm in a good spot or if I'm asked this question. You know, but when you're there out the window, like they have that downpack, which is cool. It's kind of like on traders, Dolores of like the way that people come into breakfast. You can find out a lot about who they are, right? So if you're part of the last couple people that come into breakfast, that means you are almost going to be murdered.

And usually a trader is also coming in coming in with them.

“Would you guys ever think about that when you're playing the traders though?”

Like not when we were there. Well, I mean, did you think about that when you were late? I really made it to one breakfast. So I didn't really get to do that. You know, you know what?

So we I didn't really know the game isn't around 50 seasons traders, right? So we don't have, we didn't have a lot to learn from. From with there was only three seasons before or what two seasons before us. Through besides the other things. So there wasn't like my son who's like big into like logistics and strategies.

He's like mom, but I think he said something. I don't remember.

Like the trader will walk in last or a possible trader will be like second to last.

But I don't think that's even true. It's just hard. It's hard. Yeah. So Jeff turns to Emily and she admits that she has this sinking feeling and the vibes feel

off towards you think Emily said this to get mic off their scent or does tribal council actually cause that much paranoia. I think both can be true because she was on the chopping block. She had heard her name that day. So maybe she did feel some off vibes.

But also big part of planning survivors making sure that the person going home has no idea because there's the shot and the dark in the game which is basically like a one and six shot of like being safe that you could choose to like forfeit your vote instead of like voting you get like you pick out of a bag a shot and the dark. And so that was our strategy on our season.

Like if we're voting someone out we cannot let them have any idea because we don't want them to take that chance of getting the shot and the dark. So maybe she was trying to throw them off. Yeah. Well, Christian's plan worked three votes went to Mike.

Two votes went to Emily one went to Angelina. So he seemed really really blindsided. Do you think that he like he doesn't care about the money? He's got enough of it. But do you think that he was just surprised or what do you think is going through his head?

Well, I think you were right that he probably went into this season. Also think he had a leg up over everybody because of the white lotus and because people

And so he was trying to like spearhead this vote.

And then he also had his two friends from his original season backing him up. Or he probably had full faith in them. And so I genuinely feel like he was completely blindsided and did not expect that to happen at all. I mean, he only went home with three votes. Like that rarely happens.

So I, there was a possible, there was a chance that it couldn't have happened to. So I don't know. That was cool. He was super shocked. Yeah.

So shocked. Aussie is angry. This is he's gone. Yeah. Is his anger justified?

Yeah. For sure. I was left out of one vote on survivor and I was so pissed. I was like, who the hell lied to me? I went up to my allies who didn't lie to me.

I was like, did you do that?

Like, because I was shocked, I was like, the hell.

Yeah. It feels like such a like betrayal. But it's part of the game.

“And so yeah, he has a right to be mad, but I think if you want to do well in the game,”

you have to get over it quick. Because just because they liked who doesn't mean they don't want to work with you moving forward. They probably just didn't want you to ruin what was happening in their plan. So hopefully he doesn't like it to him. Yeah.

Is this going to come back and buy Christian in the ass? I think it could. Like he could go either way. He might have like increased his chances or really like got rid of a person who would have road for him to the end. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, he won't know now, but this poor tribe, like the vultures are picking the bones. Like there's like no left here. Um, last thing, who do you think's going to win this thing? Um, and who do you think's the next person to go home? Ooh, that's a good question.

Um, well, I don't know. Again, I think it's wishful thinking. Um, but she's also in a really good spot. I, I think Suri might win this thing. Yeah. She's doing so well.

So I'm like, I feel like how could she not at this point, but there's still so many people left. How couldn't anyone not want to get her out first? She won single-handedly one traders first season. I think she's the biggest threat on the show to me.

She had to go. I agree. And she's not that great in challenge either, though, you know?

“That's that's why I think personally why she's not being targeted right now,”

because a big part of the game is those individual communities, and they probably all feel like, oh, I can get her out later.

Like we can always get her out later.

She's not going to be immune when this, when it becomes an individual game. So that's, and then also they're all like, we love her, we love, she's such a big threat, but we love her. And that's like Suri's missed. You know, she, she cast that thing over you,

where she, you know, you should probably get her out. But then you don't want to. No, I would want to. I saw her on traders. Like, she just sat there at the end and she's like, yeah, sorry.

Yeah. Like, she don't flinch. She plays the game with no emotion at all. But winning. Do not, like, how could anyone underestimate her?

And I'm not a gamer, but I know that much. Right. I agree. I agree with you. I think that they're, they're making a huge mistake.

Like, not looking at her. Mike knows threat to me. Those other people know threat to me. She's the one. I agree.

“And who do you think is going to be the next one out?”

Um, so I mean, you guys saw that trailer. They're talking about Charlie and Rizzo. Yeah. So I'm going to say one of them. Um, or I'm just going to go.

I'm going to go Christian because you, you put that in my mind now. Well, like, he's been getting a lot of screen time. This might buy him the butt. Maybe Christian goes next week. I hate to see him go.

He's so fun. Like, he's a character. Good at TV. He is good TV. Yeah.

But there's going to be two travel counsel. So two people are going home next week. Oh, two people. Okay. So what two people?

We think Christian, possibly. Rizzo. And Rizzo. And your body. Oh, oh, oh, he's going home.

Oh, my God. I'm sure some of them. I have the cutest co-hosts. The best ever. We did it.

Yeah. Well, Sophie didn't like it when Rizzo did it. But the Lord likes it when I do it. I do. I do.

So we thank you so much for coming on by order of the faithful survivor edition. You've got a lot going on. Is there anything that you want to promote? Where can people find you? Where can people follow you?

All that stuff. They don't want to promote. But there's something I want to say. So first of all, Wells. Yeah.

We're like, if Wells isn't on the on Paradise, the summer, we're not watching it. Because they're going to take Chris Harrison away.

But I'm going to take those away too.

So I'm a fan of you. And then Dolores. I have loved you for so long. Yeah.

“I don't even think you know this because you probably follow a lot of people on Instagram.”

But you actually follow me on Instagram because I set you this. I was in my fields one day when I was like 18. And I set you this like long message saying how much I loved you and how much I took up a mom. A mom figure.
