Well hello there folks. I bet you thought we wouldn’t be back, but we’re back. And we are lukewarm excited for Season 26! Join us as we check out the new contestants, make what are almost certainly terrible predictions about who will win and who will be annoying, and compliment Julie Chen-Moonves.

We’ll be back tomorrow with the second part of this two part premiere which Julie promised will be “the most surprising premiere in the history of this game!” (Ok Julie girl), but as of right now our top picks are Leah and Kimo (Erik) and Cam and Joseph (Maya).

We’re trying out something different with listener call-ins! If you have a hot take you want us to feature on the show, just email a voice memo to [email protected] or call and leave a message at (518) 313-6135. You can also text that number.

Thanks, we love you!
