The Survivor gods continued to smile on us all by keeping Carolyn and Yam Yam safe for another week. Just when things started to look shaky for two of this season's biggest personalities, Matthew succumbed to his shoulder injury and was medically evacuated from the game. Meanwhile, one player is left feeling like the "third turd" on a journey that might have ripple effects for the rest of the game.  Rick and Brendan are here break it all down. Plus, the Commanders inch closer to the end of Dan Snyder's reign of terror.

So, we knew Carolyn made great TV the very first second she showed up on Survivor 44 — which, coincidentally, was the very first second of Survivor 44. But who knew that she would be such a gamer? Carolyn has been pulling all the right levers and we break down her surprisingly stealthy game so far after four episodes. We also get into the big tribe shuffle, Josh’s really bad lying, and seeing TWO challenges on an episode. Then, we tackle the new Commanders news that Dan Snyder has apparently cleaned out his office. THANK THE LORD! Come and get some.

It seems statistically impossible. And yet the three winner picks from the three Surviving Snyder hosts for Survivor 44 were the first three people voted out of the game. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? Shamed hosts Dalton, Rick, and Brendan reflect on their miserable prognosticating skills and also try to get to the bottom of why women keep getting voted of the game first. It’s a full Survivor 44 episode 3 breakdown, complete with a new slate of winner picks. We then shift gears to talk about all the moves made by our sad sack Washington Commanders in free agency. Will any of the moves make a difference? Do they ever? Hey, let some fellas dream for a minute. Time codes below.

Dalton, Rick, and Brendan celebrate the brilliance of Survivor's next great character. Meanwhile, the guys continue to show how bad they are at picking winners. A week after Brendan's pick was the first one voted out, Rick's winner pick and episode one hero was sent packing. Then, the guys change gears and kick around the prospect of Lamar Jackson to the Commanders.

Med-evacs, advantages in cages, sabotage, and shots in the dark.  The 2 hour Survivor 44 premiere was a roller coaster ride.  Breaking down all the action and picking favorites moving forward.

Ugh! Another Dallas Cowboys fan on the podcast. Why do we do this to ourselves? This week, Survivor 43’s Sami Layadi joins us to talk all about his Survivor 43 experience (including why he thought Jesse would be easy to beat while they were playing the game) and why in the name of all that is good and holy he decided to become a Cowboys fan. He also gets into the jury’s thinking behind that surprising vote, and if his football team is as sad-sack as ours. (Answer: No.) In addition, the fellas share their thoughts on the hiring of new Commanders offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Listen in for all the goodness. Time codes below.

Dalton and Brendan kick things off by reveling in the Eagles Super Bowl loss. Then, Survivor 41's Evvie and Tiffany return to the podcast to continue their tradition of assessing the latest Survivor cast. Fueled on liquor and based on nothing but photos and cast bios, the gang make (unfair) assumptions and (ridiculous) predictions for each of the new Survivor castaways.

Was the 43 jury corrupted? What does Gabler's win mean for future Survivor seasons? What would he change if he could go back and do it all again?  Castaway James Jones joins the guys to break down all the best parts of Survivor 43.
