AFTER DARK-Survivor

The speaker discusses various topics including ancient philosophy, teaching skills, pro wrestling, and reality television shows like Tough Enough and Survivor. They also mention some WWE wrestlers like The Miz, L.A. Knight, and Roman Reigns. They invite listeners to participate in a game and share their thoughts. They also mention an upcoming match between John Cena and L.A. Knight against The Miz and Roman Reigns at Survivor Series. I'm going to fail anyways, so it doesn't really matter, but... Which class was it? Ancient Philosophy. Well, I can teach you Ancient Philosophy in 46 minutes. You can? Yeah. I can teach Japanese to a monkey in 46 minutes. The key is just finding a way to relate to the material. Like, okay, you like pro wrestling, don't you? Who doesn't? Okay, Socrates. He was like the Vince McMahon of philosophy. He started it all. Doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-doo-doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-doo-doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo I don't like that word. Content. Let's not ever use it again. Totally right. Okay. We're here to bring you the show. That's right. The show. And what is our show about this week? Well, what's it not about? That is a well-said sentence. I think we could say that every airing. Yeah. So, short and dirty, we're going to feature The Miz. He was a wonderful superstar. Debuted in 2006 on the stage of WWE. And L.A. Night. Oh, thank God we have L.A. Night because The Miz. I got some stuff to say about him. I think everyone does. Yeah. So we're going to get into it. Let's do it. So, back in the day, we had a competition that existed in WWE. It was called Tough Enough. And Miz was one of the premier content people. Let's just say this was a long, long, long time ago. Yeah. Like Dr. Seuss times. Like the great granddad snail kind of thing. So, The Miz, he really hasn't evolved over the time. But if you look back to his earliest days of when he was appearing on the scene, he is kind of full of himself. And he does the same stuff that he still does. He really hasn't evolved very much at all. And that's why the vast majority of us are all tired of him. Whereas, you know, the main man, our man, your man. Yeah. He's not my man. Of course. Because you only have one man. That's it. And that's Chris. That's right. I've got one girl. And that's Galia. That's me. Now, does LA Knight have a girl? I don't think so. But I think there's a lot of women out there that would like to be his girl. Can you put up your hand if you want to be LA Knight's girl? You know what? How about this? We come up with a little game for our Patreon listeners. Currently, we know there's 101 of you. We want to explode that into a movement of thousands. And the millions of millions. So here's the game. You message us on our email address, which is... Well, it's cng at wwepodcast.com. We want a number between 1 and 101. And if your number is the closest to the random generated number that we've decided to pick on a certain day from our iPhone... Or it could be from our head. Yeah. Just maybe on... I don't feel comfortable doing that, actually. That's okay. Don't worry about it. We'll have a random number. If your number comes closest, you can ask us. Chris and Galia from Warspite, Alberta, Canada. Anything. Because this is the After Dark fuckin' Show! And we will bring our flair to your question. So you could ask anything. Like, kind of give a crazy example. And then I'll give a normal example. Wow. On the spot. Okay, so what if Cody Rhodes... We're so tired of him, Chris and Galia. Could you do us a favor and turn him into something different? And then we would have to answer that question. You get it? Okay, normal question. What's a normal question? Is The Rock coming back? Much talked about. I'd like to answer this one first. No, wait. It's only if the number is fixed. You know what? Maybe they have their own questions, so let's not get started. All right, back into our world of reality television. Okay, pick a number between 1 and 101. Email us at cng, with the and sign, at www.podcast.com. And if we pick your number, you get to choose a topic. We'll cover it for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, however long it takes for us to really give you your just desserts. Because we care about you. Absolutely. Our fun, fun time listeners. And if you have anything else you want to say, like... Doo-wop, doo-doo-doo-doo-wop. Great job, or do better. We're going to read everything. We're going to read everything. We're not going to censor you, because you can say anything you want. You paid the money. You're a Patreon, and we value every word, even those forbidden ones. Yeah. Okay. Continuing on. I'm so excited for today's subject. Okay. Is it subject okay word? Yeah. I'm going with it. We'll go with it today. Okay, cool. So today's subject, the WWE version of reality television, Tough Enough. It debuted in blah, blah, blah, and it had a lot of people, and The Miz was one of them. But what if L.A. Knight, nowadays, was on Tough Enough? How would you feel about that? I think that if L.A. Knight was on Tough Enough at the same time as The Miz... I'm listening. L.A. Knight would have blown him out of the water. Them are fighting words. Not really. That's just realistic. Did you watch his little in the ring with the mic thing that The Miz was doing? He had nothing, and he still has nothing. Yeah. We hate The Miz. Carrying on, though, but we're not the people that could evaluate that, because back in those days, they had trained professionals. I'm going to list off some people just to flare your memory. So the host of one of the Tough Enough's, as far as I know, maybe all of them, Mr. Undisputed coolest guy in the world, Steve Austin. Stone cold Steve Austin. Lots of T-shirts for him. Booker T, one of the best entertaining mic men that we know. And then Trish Stratus. Thank you, Trish, for being on Tough Enough. Some of the other honorable mentions of people that appeared on the show were, I'll do the boys, she'll do the girls. There was Chris Jericho, John Cena, Al Snow, Kurt Angle, Hulk Hogan, Jeff Hardy, Billy Gunn. Sure. Save all the crazy names for me. Lita, Renee Paquette, Paige, Tory, Trish Stratus. You already said her name. She's the trainer. You got to say, thank you, Trish. Thank you, Trish. So that was Tough Enough in a nutshell. And like we said, the hosts of Tough Enough, they were evaluating on different criteria, promo skills, ring presence, all that kind of jazz. So now today's topic, it was about Survivor. And in that game, the only judges were your peers. That's a pretty intimidating environment to be in, if you ask me. It can be, because those you screw over, they're going to stab you in the back. And that game is rich with people bleeding out the back. Everybody wants the million dollars. Or, in certain times, it was two million. If you were already a winner of a million dollars, then you'd compete for two million in the winners at war season of Survivor. That's right. Because when you win the money, you can wreck your life twice as fast. Bazinga! I think we got a little button for that one. And the leader of all of that, the still-cold Steve Austin of the Survivor, is Jeff Probst. Forbid my French. I may not have pronounced it correctly. So those were little fun facts to kind of go with you, get you eased into our subjects. Have you ever seen Survivor? Well, there's been 45 seasons of Survivor. So if you haven't seen it, the 45th is coming up soon. And let me tell you, I've only watched one season of it. Can you believe that? First season. I can believe it. Actually, that's not true. I watched one or two episodes of season two, and it was so much backstabbing that I was like, I can't do this. Season one. It was the best. Richard tipped a million dollars home, and he wrecked his life. He's famous now because he won that. I was looking back at the stats, and I heard the word Richard, and I was like, oh, yeah, he totally did win the first one. He already remembers it. And he was naked on the show. Yeah, you got to see his butt. Wow. Yeah. That would not fly in today's Survivor. So feel free, listeners, to watch it with your kids because there are not allowed naked people nowadays. And just a little pop culture reference, there's no volleyballs allowed either. You know what? They do allow nakedness on the show. No, they don't. Yes, they do. Because it's actually a requirement saying that you will be filmed 24 hours a day even when you're naked. It's actually on the show requirements. You have to agree to it. Reality TV getting filmed 24 hours a day. Imagine wrestlers nowadays getting filmed 24 hours. Imagine. K-Fob gone. Imagine hooking up with somebody during the Survivor series. Yeah. Oh, I can. Like, I would totally fall. I only have one woman. Are you on the island? We're going to compete against each other. And may the best one of us win. Breaking. Oh, shoot. That's a later segment. Okay. So, you know what? Actually, breaking news segment is now. Yeah, because you've already got the cat out of the bag. Okay. This just announced it is breaking fake news time. Already confirmed as of yesterday, there is a matchup between John Cena and. Tag team partner, LA Knight. Bam. In your face, mind. Against. I got it. I got it. The Miz. And Roman Reigns. I almost said The Rock. Can you imagine? You imagine. No, it's not The Rock. It's Roman Reigns. Yes. This is the official fake news. Coming to you. This match is at Survivor Series. Feel free to guess what stipulation the match will be. Because at Survivor Series, they have tons of stipulations. Can you imagine how that's going to turn out? Oh, my God. You know, John Cena and LA Knight. Kind of two guys with a little bit of integrity. Against The Miz and Roman Reigns. No integrity. Both backstabbers. Both kind of like, you know, the same kind of person. I can see The Miz chatting up Roman Reigns in like this non-sexual sexual way of being like, Bro, you lost all your guys, you know? Maybe we could just hang out after dark or something and be tag team partners. You want to tornado tag with me? Oh, my gosh. Is that what goes through your brain? No, believe me. The Miz naked is so far away from my brain. It's in your brain now. It's not in my brain. Ew. Okay, so stipulations. It could be the first one to get naked match. Oh, my gosh. You know what? You know what I do not need to see? Yeah, LA Knight's penis because I'm your man. No, John Cena's butt. Oh, my. Okay, we watched a movie recently. And what movie was it? This is like breaking real news. Yeah, and John Cena was in the movie. And his butt was in the movie. And it didn't need to be. And you think John Cena cutting a happy-go-lucky funny promo is bad? John Cena having sex in this movie was bad. Yeah, so unnecessary. So we're thinking maybe the stipulation of the match could be something about what we've just been talking about. But other notable matches at Survivor Series that have taken place, we got the casket match. That was the first time the casket match had ever appeared on television. So what kind of match is the casket match? It's kind of like a burial, but they don't lower you under the ground. So you've got to fall in that casket, and they count, I think, or they close the door. All they've got to do is close that door. That's kind of creepy. You lose. You know, being in a casket, do they have a bell for when you get buried alive? Never done it before. Anybody else been in a casket? Let us know about it. Do they have a bell in the casket? Oh, yeah, in Victorian times. They used to hang a bell outside because they had actually buried some people alive, and so they tied a string to their finger, and so if they were alive, they could pull on the bell. Okay, stuff going through my head now. What if they pulled on the string to the finger? Could they bring the finger to the, like, and maybe it had a wedding ring on it? Then you could rob people from the grave. Well, grave robbers definitely were a huge thing. But, you know, what about The Undertaker? He actually debuted at Survivor Series. Wow. So there were big people that have debuted, and I just want to throw this out that big people have debuted in Survivor the TV show. Some of them are professional sports people that maybe y'all care about. Looking at you, Michael Ritter. All right. So your friends from the Football Function podcast. I'm going to name my top three draft picks. We have Coach Jimmy Johnson, Steven Wright, not the comedian, I believe, and Mr. Grant Matos. Brad Coolpepper and Alan Ball might have also been on there. Gallia, if you could, can you read the MLB players? Jeff Kent. John, John Rocker. Yeah. And then after the Major League Baseball, we have the National Basketball Association. There was two stars from them, too. Cliff Robinson. And Scott Pillard. Yeah. So if any of you guys care about those people, they were on Survivor. Find out which season. And maybe one of them even won, you know. Pick your favorite. Hope for them. It's already in the past. It is. So no spoilers. No spoilers because it's already happened. But why are these people going to Survivor anyways? Maybe it's because their careers are over and they're trying to hang on to a wee bit of fame that they may have had. This is what the after dark people are going to give them. So we love you. Oh, my gosh. Every time you hit that clapping button, I'm going to laugh. Challenge accepted. Clap, clap, clap. And we're not talking about, you know, this. Anyways. So we got some people that were on Survivor. There's a lot that can be said in correlations between Survivor series and Survivor. So right there, we just told you that The Undertaker debuted in Survivor series. Another debut that took place is kind of Matt's favorite underdog or underdog story. The Rock? Yeah. He debuted at Survivor series. Really? And so maybe this Survivor series. Anybody with us? Crickets. Crickets. Crickets. Okay. I hate crickets. Yeah. Some people like to eat them. I've heard about that. Covered in chocolate? Yeah. My mind went there, too. Didn't your mind? I've never had it. I know, me neither. I would eat it, though, actually. Deep fried? Deep fried crickets? I've heard of that, too. Quick, on the spot, what's the weirdest thing you ever ate? Oh. I don't know. Plain spaghetti. Like, no butter? Yeah. Oh. Like, dry, though? Have you tried it dry? I have tried it dry. That's pretty weird. Yeah. No, you know what? I've eaten some interesting things. I believe you. Yeah. I believe you. We just had Japanese recently, so. Sweet potato pie. Anybody who's ever had sweet potato pie? You're talking to a bunch of people from the States about sweet potato pie and Thanksgiving is on the horizon. Yeah. Their mouth is salivating and now they're going to, like, think about what's in the fridge. Sweet potato pie. Maybe mama's recipe of sweet potato pie. So, I thought that, you know, I don't know this guy. I'm a wee wrestling fan from the, I guess it would be the Attitude Era, a little bit of it, with the Jeff Hardys and all that kind of stuff. But it said Flash Funk debuted at Survivor Series. Hmm. From Mollet Manor, if you could give us a DL on the Flash Funk, who he was, where he was, what territory he might have come from. All the advice is really appreciated from you. Wise man. Oh, wise man. Of the WWE podcast. Family. She's laughing. I've got to give applause. I'm going to take that one. So, besides the casket match, there are some other very notable matches. All right. Elimination. Elimination Chamber. We actually watched that one together. We did. It was really kind of interesting, kind of brutal. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Because in a cage. Do you remember when Angelo Dawkins did that spot from the top of the cage? Oh, my gosh. Sometimes I just don't even know how these people make it out alive. Yeah. It's like, you know, dangerous and stuff. Unless you're Logan Paul. Remember him being in the Elimination Chamber? What did he even do? Well, remember he went out and he grabbed something and he... Oh, actually, yeah. He spurred into it and ended that match. Yeah. Yeah. And then he got that Seth Rollins program going on because of it all. That's right. Yeah. Last and final one. Ambulance match. Galia, what's an ambulance match? Well, you've heard of Ambulance Chaser. If an ambulance is in there, obviously, people are going out in a stretcher. It's kind of like the viewing of an open casket, but on a stretcher. After they've been embalmed. That's gruesome, Galia. Do you want to talk more about that for our nighttime listeners? It is. You know what? We actually went to a festival and talked to a guy who had been in the mortuary business. And he was old enough to, you know... He had been doing it for more than 55 years. And I asked so many questions, he actually thought I was interested in becoming a mortuary person. That's the type of Galia can be. She is, you know, a professional this and a part-time that. Draining blood, filling the body with other stuff, putting makeup on dead people, you know. Other notable shows are like Makeup Something Something. What was that? Skin Wars? I watch Skin Wars. That's reality TV right there. Yeah. Can you imagine if there was a reality TV show involving... Oh, nice. Actually, no. They could only do... Hey, I got it. I got it. They could only do the getting the body ready and all of that kind of stuff. They can't really go too much in the funeral thing. I got a pretty good idea, though. Instead of like on the back of your Alberta's driving license, you're like an organ donor. You could donate your body to television. For science? For money and ratings and, you know, publicity. Right. Why be famous when you're alive when you could be famous when you're dead? Cool. Yeah. Everyone wants to shake hands with you, but you can't even... That sucks. I know. Okay. So we're going to do our quick math segment featuring Galia as the mathematician and Chris as the quizzer. Galia Survivor Series. Our famed and loved second running longest thing in the world of professional PLE and pay-per-views. Okay. It debuted in 1987. How many years ago was that? 1987. You're repeating it so you didn't buy time? I won't even applause. That was too easy. Oh, my gosh. 1987. That was 40 years ago. Like something. I don't know. Why are you putting me on the spot? I don't even... I was born in 91, so 40 years ago. Yeah, you're just getting up there. 87 and 40 years. Okay. Math segment number two. We have Survivor. We're on the 40th game of Survivor. Can you believe it, fellows? I believe September 27th you might be able to watch it. 36 years. It's 36 years. Breaking math. 36 years. You've done it. Use my human calculator and my fingers. Super power guaranteed. It's 36 years. Okay. We're coming up on Survivor Series 36 where The Miz and John Cena will then be versing... Oh, that went bad. Oh, yeah. Oh, my gosh. No. It is The Miz and Roman Reigns against John Cena. Yeah. This is awesome. That's right. So, that's breaking math segment number one. Question number two. Survivor Series was started in what year? I know. I know. I know. Year 2000. We're on the 45th. You're talking about the show. Oh, I am going so backwards lately. You are talking about the reality TV show. Yes. Yes. When Richard won. Yes. In 2000, he became a millionaire. Yeah. If he spent money for 23 years, how many monies per year would... No, that's a hard question. So, the idea of the math number two was 45 Survivor shows since 2000. How many shows per year would that be? A lot. Good answer. Like a lot of money. Almost two. Almost two is what I was looking for. Almost two? Yeah. I don't even know what you're talking about. Can you give that to me in Imperial? In Imperial? Yeah. Okay. So, I'm just going to use my handy-dandy iPhone calculator. That means $22,000 a year. That's not a whole lot. A million dollars? A million dollars divided by 45 games. $22,222. If Richard invested that in each game... $0.22. I would put my money in Survivor stocks, too. $22,000? You would make more than that at McDonald's. Anybody getting interested in gambling? I know a racket that exists only in Worst Bait Alberta, Canada. I could get you in for $20 a pop. That's only $16 a minute. It's $50. It went up. It's $50. You know what it is. It's $50. No, that's the hockey draft. Yeah. It's $50. I'm talking about the Survivor draft. Oh, yeah. Where the Worst Bait Community League Survivor draft exists, they all get randomly selected who their Survivor participant would be. What do you think, Patreons? Is that something we want to get into? A little bit of gambling? You know? Who do you want to be? A girl or a boy? You're in Worst Bait because it's small, you know, very small. Like less than 50 people? You get two people. So that's double the odds, really. And at the end of the show, you find out. How does Survivor even end? Does anyone know? I know. Do you know, Gallia? What do you mean how does it end? How many people are in the finale? Usually three. How do they decide the finale? I think there's three. Yeah, I'm with that, too. Yeah, and then you have the people that have come off. They go on the jury panel and they kind of actually end up deciding who's going to win the show. I like that. Yeah. And that's travel support that they usually go. Yeah. So, again, if you're screwing people over, cheating, lying. Like the maid. Yeah. Cutting deals, not being a person of integrity, you know, anything like that. You know, people understand you've got to do a little bit of wheeling and dealing. But generally be a good person. In researching this show, I came across a podcast. There's lots of these if you want to listen to podcasts about reality television. There's a lot of people that go on reality televisions and their spinoff career then becomes podcasters. It's actually a thing nowadays. Really? Yeah, I know. We were never on a reality TV show. But I think that we would be good people on a reality TV show. I think we would bring a lot of the much needed drama to the show. Wow. Yeah, we are definite qualified contestants. They'd be like, what's your qualifications? I'd be like, I'm not a lot of juggling. Is there somebody that can juggle on the show? I could be the juggling guy. Okay. You know, you could be like, I'm really good at cooking. Sometimes I can slip poison in it. Sometimes I don't burn the food. Actually, you know, I'm jisting myself a little bit. No. You made borscht once and it was red, didn't you? What the heck does that mean? I'm just fucking with your brain, that's all. Okay. How does it feel? Yeah. Mind games. How does it feel to wait a long time before another bowl of borscht? WWE podcast, do you ever hear the word mind games? Well, that word actually was the first word out of my mother's mouth when I asked her for her to describe me, Survivor, so I could make this podcast. I was like, that's a very popular wrestling word. So, you know, Survivor, you play mind games. If you're in the ring with Seth freaking Rollins, he's the mind games guy. Maybe he's a cerebral assassin for you. Is Seth Rollins really the mind games person anymore? He is under the tutelage of other people, I think. You know, he's really been having some crazy matches lately with another opponent. You talking Shinsuke? I am. And he's playing mind games. And physical body games. Wow. Like kick the football on the back of Seth's back. Yeah. But we're not really talking about them tonight. No. We are talking about The Miz and LA Knight. I have another one thing to equate Survivor Series to for us, all us listening, is in Survivor Series, we have all those themed matches. You, as the wrestling aficionados who have paid the big monies to be part of this Patreon family, could talk about all the different Survivor Series teams that existed. One that exists in Survivor, the television show, is Blood vs. Water. So they had half the people being of family descent and half the people being of like, you know, random people that might just get along or something. That kind of takes me back to last year's Survivor Series. It took place in a cage, a double cage, where there was two rings inside one huge cage. And that was with Blood, the tribal people, Roman Reigns. What are those guys called again? What do you mean? I have the deer in the headlines. I can't even remember. Bloodline? Yeah, the Bloodline. I know, because it's crumbling, falling apart. Actually, the Bloodline exists. At that time. I know, but now it really just is Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns. And Solo, though. Oh, yeah. They're on their Isle of Reveillance-y. Yeah, but The Miz is going to shoot into stardom with them. Oh, yeah, that's right. The Miz is going to join him as an honorary. Yeah, right. It makes sense. If Jey Uso, like, he's pretty big. He went to Raw. Well, guess who's going to SmackDown? The Miz. He's going to go join LA Knight there and put on some shows. Headline WrestleMania, maybe. Well, he's going to try and cut down LA Knight. He's going to try. He's not going to succeed. Usos fans got to stick up for him. That's right. Yeah! I hear you. So here's another main storyline in the Survivor world. It was the Millennials versus the Gen X people. That's exciting television just in its nutshell, don't you think? Yeah. I think so. I think so. Do you know where I'm getting at with this one? No, I don't. Okay. Because this is 100% unscripted. We are pulling this out of our heads as we go. As I look through the vast amounts of C's of paper on the desk, I am grabbing thoughts from out the head and putting them onto the paper in the past. And so in the purse, present? Yeah, we're in the present. In the present time, like now, 33 minutes into the podcast maybe, there's all of these words on the paper because I did the things in the past. Okay, so the Millennials versus the Gen X people. This storyline, it's exactly like the awesome storyline that existed at a Survivor series years gone by when NXT guys, they're called like the Nexus Group. There was about six of them or something like that. And they were versing. I'm getting really excited and that's my excited noise and that's why we started the show with it. Okay. Thanks for bringing it up. We should have like a different emoji or something like that for when you get that smirk of love in your eye. Thank you, thank you. Actually, you know what, we should put a smoochie, a smoochie one on there. Yeah, please send us your voice clip of your best smoochie one so that way we can fix our little D-pad for that. Yeah. So Millennials versus Gen X, big topic that happened with that one. Survivor, it was probably fun. I'm going to guess that the Gen Xers won. I have no clue. But what happened in wrestling is lifetime memorable for The Miz. The Miz back in that day was on top of his throne, United States champion, couldn't be better. He was training a young Daniel Bryan, young in WWE years. So when you say that The Miz was on top of his game, what you mean is he was really good at manipulation, cheating, scamming people, putting other people down to make himself look good. And maybe bribing officials and stuff like that to get the matches. Yeah, stuff like that. Okay, all right. All right, good, top of his game. Oh, yeah, yeah. So he was tootling a young Daniel Bryan who was just an up-and-coming who had done other things in other industries, but this is his first time in the WWE universe. And what had happened was while The Miz was tootling this man, he had kind of realized he couldn't win a match. He wasn't as good as all the other NXT superstars. He kind of got in a fight with The Miz, and him and The Miz kind of had a showdown of anger and frustration that The Miz actually cost him or Daniel Bryan actually cost The Miz a match. And The Miz said, you know what? I'll make sure that you never win if you make me not win this match, and I'll hate you forever and stuff. Basically, I'm going to ruin your career. Yeah, flash forward to Survivor Series, and they're still looking for their sixth member of the WWE roster versus the NXT Nexus group. And they go up to The Miz, and Chris Jericho's there saying, come on, Miz, why don't you be a part of our team? And Miz finally he, hims, and has. Well, they're on their way out to the thing, and they're standing five guys proud while six Nexus guys are in the thing like the shield, and they're looking them in the eyes and saying, we're going to beat you. And the other people are like, oh, yay, The Miz is coming to help their team of WWE, and he's walking out with his title, and he looks all fucking awesome and stuff. And there goes John Cena, looks at Miz in the eyes. Well, he's not. He's looking at Nexus. But there's probably a mirror somewhere involved, and he's looking The Miz in the eyes, and he says, Miz, what are you doing here? You're too late. We already decided our sixth and final member, and it's not you. Boom. Daniel Bryan's music hits. Comes out to the ring all proud, looks at The Miz, just kind of walks past him and then joins his group of WWE superstars versus the NXT superstars. What a burn. It is. Isn't it? It's almost like Daniel is his mortal enemy. Yeah, that's huge. I think he may have actually hated him more than he hates LA Knight. You know what? With The Miz, I just think that he hates whoever he hates when he hates them. So that was probably the biggest hate. But another burn was Mr. Daniel Bryan saying, I'm not part of the Nexus. I am part of the WWE roster. That one would have won him some votes in the Survivor Series or Survivor TV show Mind Game Central thing. So take what you will out of that. It's a good story, and it's on the WWE Network as a timeline story. So The Miz and Daniel Bryan, timeline story. Very great watch, as all WWE promotions are. And you can go back and watch any of these things anytime. Thank you for the $10 we spent for that, or $15 on the Sportsnet Now app. Yeah, in Canada, we don't get hula. We don't get that or any of those other ones. Yeah, we're a little more bound. Breaking segment, breaking segment. When we begun this podcast, we talked about the immunity idol and how it referenced maybe the money in the bank. Can you expand upon that? Would you like to? Well, so on Survivor, the reality TV show, you go through these challenges, and maybe you find a hidden immunity idol, which you can keep hidden and bring out whenever you want. Or you get the bigger one, and so you do these challenges. You get these immunity idols that allow you to kind of get a free pass. There's about four or five things that each immunity idol might do provided on what it reads, and it can really turn the page of the whole game. Yeah, so it's a game changer. You get that, and you can float through. And you can keep it a secret. You could tell people. Depending on the ones. Only the hidden one you can keep a secret. Okay. Yeah, the other ones are common knowledge, and it's like, oh, you have the immunity idol. So it's kind of like money in the bank. You can cash that in any time you want, and we saw that. Yeah, and it really prevented one person. Santos. Oh, was it for her or him? Well, I'm talking now. Oh, are you talking WWE right now? I'm talking WWE. That was awesome, right? Yeah, Santos Estebar, you know, he kept bringing out this. No, just wait. I'm going to stop you. It's Damien Priest. Yeah. Correction, we're going to edit that out in processing. Or not. But we're definitely going to cut out content from processing. Because you know what? Just so you know. Or not. Yeah, we're not. We're not going to do that because this is real life. This is real life. And sometimes we make mistakes. Live and prove. You can make mistakes and still live. Okay, so Damien Priest, he's got the briefcase. Hidden immunity idol. Yeah, but it's not hidden. No, it's not. Because he can bring it out. He can use it any time he wants. And he comes around and he, you know, he whacks people with it and all this different kind of things until one day he just, ah, I'm going to go in at an opportune moment and he cashes in. Imagine getting down to the final three and having one of those doohickeys. Just like EO Sky. Yeah, you take advantage of that when you have it at the best possible time. Yeah. So use it to your advantage. It's all about, you know, playing a good game. And really. Part of the good game is the social aspect of it. It's talking a good game. But then there's also the physical aspects which can help you win challenges. One of the main challenges that exist, there's challenges that help physical, endurance, or social. So we did a little bit of a synopsis on these challenges that exist. I'd like to read this from our crew that we have that worked for us and wrote this. Yeah, their names are Chris and Gallia. Yeah, CNG. Here's a true survivor classic where players are situated under a tall structure with a large bucket of colored water overhead. The player's hands are extended up, tied to a rope which is attached to the bucket. When their arm fatigues and lowers, even just a half an inch, the water cascades down into their heads. Double whammy. Not only do you lose, you get soaked and freaking wet. Wet rat. That brings me to my point that L.A. Knight is like a wet rat turned into the splinter, you know? Master Splinter. Yes, good title. I love it. Face-off. That's a good thing. A.K.A. Touchy Subjects, Survivor All-Stars Season 8. This is when it debuted. This classic challenge of social politics forced players to answer a series of questions using only the names of their current tribe mates. First, they would answer a questionnaire asking who on your tribe is under the false impression that they are smart? Not the Ms. Yeah. Or, who on your tribe does not deserve to be called an all-star? Not the Ms. All loaded questions because whether you believe the question truly does not apply to anyone, you have to select one name. Then you had to guess whom the majority of the tribe chose for an answer. This challenge was decided to hurt players' feelings and get them feisty, like L.A. Knight is feisty and strong. And Alicia took the bait and the lion's share of the abuse and exploded in anger and frustration back at the camp. Gaia, please read us our third and final. This one is for strength and also puzzles, which are very well-featured. I really like this. I saw it when we were checking it out. It's a great idea from Tocaniz, season 18. One of our mantras that Jeff established years ago is, simple in concept, difficult in execution. My friend and regular challenge consultant, Miles Nye, took this mantra to heart and had a crate idea. You actually get to laugh for that. Players race out and roll massive heavy boxes across the field and stack them to form a staircase with a puzzle.
