Discussing Smart House with Ian Terry | A Disney Channel Movie Review

In a special podcast, Rob Cesternino, is joined by Big Brother Houseguest, Ian Terry (@TulaneTerry), to take a look back at a classic Disney Channel Original Movie. Together, they rewatch and recap the 1999 hit, Smart House! This movie features a computerized house that takes on a life of its own. Think Amazon Alexa, but with personality of your overbearing mother.

Did Smart House accurately predict future trends in smart home appliances? Would you rather have Siri or PAT as your digital assistant? “Hey Alexa, send a Tweet to @RobHasAPodcast on Twitter to let them know my thoughts on Smart House!”

Survivor | TWISH Ultimate Trivia – Episode 2

Talking with T-Bird: Lex van den Berghe

For everyone who wanted more T-Bird in the Survivor off-season, your wish has been granted as we once again start up the series “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 thirty-fifth episode of “Talking with T-Bird”, Rob and T-Bird’s guest is none other than Lex van den Berghe.

Rob and T-Bird speak with Lex van den Berghe, a castaway from Survivor: Africa and one of the first eighteen returnees in Survivor history on Survivor: All-Stars. On Survivor: Africa, the third season and the season featuring our very own co-host Teresa “T-Bird” Cooper, Lex started out on the Boran tribe, quickly putting himself in a good position by aligning with Ethan Zohn and “Big Tom” Buchanan. On day 13, he survived the first-ever swap in Survivor history as he was swapped over to the Samburu tribe with Tom, surviving up to the merge. His game kicked into another level after the merge when he received two votes at the first post-merge Tribal Council and became increasingly paranoid afterward trying to find out who voted for him. After mistakenly accusing Kelly Goldsmith of voting for him, he ended up getting her out of the game and using this paranoid gameplay to make it to day 38, where he was voted out by Kim Johnson because she felt Ethan deserved a spot at the Final Tribal Council more than him, ending in third place and being the seventh and final member of the jury.

A few years later, he was invited onto the cast of the show’s eighth season, Survivor: All-Stars, alongside our very own co-host Rob Cesternino, where she was placed on the Mogo Mogo tribe, initially making strong alliances with Kathy Vavrick-O’Brien and Shii-Ann Huang. Despite starting out with a tribe on a winning streak, the first tribe swap led to them losing more, where he betrayed his close ally Colby Donaldson and voted out his friend Ethan Zohn. After the second swap, he made an infamous deal with “Boston Rob” Mariano to vote out his new close ally Jerri Manthey instead of Amber Mariano (Brkich at the time). He managed to make it to the merge but his move to save Amber backfired when Rob reneged on their deal. Early in the post-merge, Rob betrayed him, voted him out on day 27, leaving him as the first member of the jury in ninth place.

Rob & Akiva Need a Podcast #119: Rob & Akiva Create a Game Show

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 “Rob and Akiva Create a Game Show” which resulted in Rob and Akiva taking it by themselves this week and doing just that, using their combined abilities to create a game show.

After Rob and Akiva create the newest and best game show ever, they go through the mailbag to hear what new ideas should be added to the wheel and then spin the wheel to see what will be coming next week in episode 120.
