Talking with T-Bird: Jeremy & Val Collins

The time has come for the return of “Talking with T-Bird.” Each episode, Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Survivor: Africa‘s Teresa “T-Bird” Cooper (@tbirdcooper) will catch up with a former Survivor player and talk about anything and take listener questions. In the fifty-fifth episode of “Talking with T-Bird,” Rob and T-Bird’s welcome the lovely couple from Survivor: San Juan del Sur, Jeremy & Val Collins. 

Jeremy and Val’s Survivor adventure began with a bang, as minutes after they were placed on opposing tribes, they found themselves pitted against each other in the first Duel Reward Challenge of the season. Val’s loss led to her exile, where she was granted a clue to the immunity idol. Although she lost an ally, Val made it through the first tribal council, only to run into trouble when she bluffed to have found two idols. When she was unable to produce at the next tribal council, the tribe decided to eliminate Val on the re-vote, finishing in 17th place.

Jeremy was a physical and strategic threat in San Juan del Sur, helping his tribe to five out of six pre-merge immunity challenges. When he made the first strike at merge and sent strategic rival Josh to jury, the rest of the merge tribe realized his major threat potential, and Jeremy was voted out in 10th place.

Jeremy returned just two seasons later for Survivor: Cambodia, the second chances season. He continued his dominance, quietly maintaining control of the game. His effective use of two immunity idols (for Val!) and his strong alliance led him to the final three, where he became the Sole Survivor in the first ever unanimous vote.

Jeremy came out one more time in season 40 for Survivor: Winners at War. His relationships with the other winners kept him safe for most of the game, but at the merge, his threat level was rising quickly. After saving himself with an advantage and then being spared at two tribal councils due to last minute scrambling, Jeremy was voted at the final seven. After failing to win the return challenge, his game ended in 8th place.

Outside of Survivor, Jeremy and Val’s greatest joy is raising their four beautiful children together.

Rob & Akiva Need a Podcast #191: Does Nicole Know It?

Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Akiva Wienerkur (@keev26) need a podcast and every week, Rob and Akiva spin a wheel of listener-submitted podcast ideas, and whatever the wheel lands on is what they podcast about next. This week, the wheel landed on “Coin Flip.” The coin awarded Akiva the power to choose any podcast from the wheel, and he selected “Does Nicole Know It?” Listeners submitted questions to test the knowledge the First Lady of Podcasting, Nicole Cesternino. After Rob quizzed Nicole, he brought the results to Akiva, who then had to guess whether or not Nicole answered the questions correctly.

After Rob and Akiva annoyed the hell of out Nicole, they went through the mailbag to hear what new ideas should be added to the wheel directly from the listeners and then spin the wheel to see what will be coming next week in episode 192. The mailbag begins at 1:36ish.

For the link to the spreadsheet that Rob and Akiva use to compile ideas, check it all out here: Rob and Akiva Need a Spreadsheet (compiled by the great Will from America).

House of the Dragon | Season 1 Episode 4 | Josh Wigler & Rob Cesternino

[Cross-post from PostShowRecaps.com]

Game of Thrones is back with the prequel, “House of the Dragon.” Every week, Post Show Recaps provides immediate reactions, deep dive analysis, and absurd antics surrounding the return of the biggest franchise on HBO.

“House of the Dragon” centers on the Targaryan dynasty roughly 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones.” It’s based on portions of George R.R. Martin’s 2018 novel “Fire & Blood.” Expect the show to live up to its predecessor and its very own name — with fire, blood, and dragons aplenty.

In this podcast, Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Rob Cesternino (@RobCesternino) talk about Season 1 Episode 4 of “House of the Dragon,” titled “King of the Narrow Sea.”
