    international waters is a strange podcast that must be a gigantic hassle to put together each week. you have to get 2 guests each in 2 different countries, along with setting up studio time/sound engineers in both countries, and get everyone together at the same time. parts of the show are pre-written, which is another layer of preparation you have to do for each episode, and honestly the written portions are generally the weakest part. i dont think dave holmes does the booking or writing for the show, so there is someone behind the scenes who is making this podcast, but for what purpose? are leesa mattress ad revenues or maxfun donations for this particular podcast lucrative enough to make all this work make sense?

     

    then you have this episode with hayes and several other people. dave holmes mis-identifies hayes' team member as the brigid ryan from the kroll show, rather than who she really is, which is

    . i understand dave is meeting some of his guests for the first time upon arriving at the studio and is just reading what is on the note cards he was handed, but why do we, the listening audience, hear this mistake on the podcast? when you're already wrangling a troupe of people together, writing intros, jokes, and questions, and securing ads, why not also expend the extra 10 minutes of effort of resetting the recording with the accurate information and editing out the mistake to save the host and guest from embarrassment? why does this podcast exist in the first place?

     

    hayes was funny tho, a ant bite his dick haha

    ‣ oh yeah i forgot i used to make predictions on who was getting voted out each week, i’m guessing david based on his weinery-ness and the gen x losing streak. tough call when he has an idol but plenty of idiots dont use it when they should

    ‣ sunday steps into an olde-timey photos kiosk at the county fair to wonder if they made a mistake voting out paul

    ‣ listen adam i know sometimes it can be hard to give the producers the reactions they want but hold it together man, it isnt even a full idol

    ‣ finding an idol clue is especially good to me, a survivor super-dee-duper fan.

    ‣ wow i didnt see them voting out the old guy who was useless in challenges

    ‣ man chris completely dominated the millenials in the ring game, that was impressive

    ‣ AHAHAHA michaela is amazing

    ‣ lol probst has so much joy for how deep michaela dug there

    ‣ ok that was the best comp of the season so far, what a great effort by everyone

    ‣ after so many days packed in with other people and cameras following you everywhere, its nice to finally get a bit of release

    ‣ it would be funny if one season they hid like a hundred fake immunity idols and every tribal people would turn in like 3 each and jeff would just be like “nope nope nope nope”

    ‣ lucy going from “who’s that” to big boss

    ‣ they raced through the challenge and then get stuck on the puzzle for an hour

    ‣ another great challenge though

    ‣ my david pick doesnt sound very likely, which im ok with because he’s a decent dude

    ‣ oh good work jess, you’re very smart

    ‣ jessica’s eyes seem better at least, thats nice

    ‣ dang david, heck of a move

     

    tumblr_inline_of1t2yKzxJ1t1zpts_500.gif[/center]

    ‣ excellent challenges + excellent tribal = first full PROBST ep of the season, folks, this ought to make ken, david, jessica, and cece a strong group but if not david may have just painted a big target on his back

    ‣ oops nevermind new tribes so that whole move was kind of a wash

    ‣ whining about a blindside is a good survivor look, zeke is killing it

    ‣ “you and me on dumbass island” is a song im writing for ukelele girlstumblr_inline_oenj5xhf7j1t1zpts_500.gif

    ‣ david accidentally touches a stick

    ‣ hmm paul making a big deal about how good a fisher he is, wonder how many fishes he will catch

    ‣ yup thats that classic survivor edit, zero fish haha

    ‣ david sells out his tribe so fast, classic gen x moveQ0iUj3x.gif

    ‣ ken caught these?? yeah right, i think the producers just raided the exotic fish aisle at petsmarttumblr_inline_oenk3iDaN11t1zpts_500.gif

    ‣ this guy is flippin nuts ahahahahaha

    ‣ this comp is 100% just field day shit, competition building team took the week off

    ‣ i think ken is my new crush this season, if these thankless gen x idiots vote him out i will be piss

    ‣ millenials busted ass on the puzzle, nice work zeke and whichever girl it was who wasnt figgy or michaela

    ‣ honestly i do think cece is a good choice for their tribe. if david and ken can somehow pull off paul i will be happy too but it seems unlikely

    ‣ god jessica’s eye is still so gross lookingTRonSaU.gif

    ‣ lol jeff really thinks he’s onto something with the u/you thing, but hes even late on that because everyone just uses their phone’s autocomplete now

    ‣ i really hope paul eats it after that speech

    ‣ haha, classic idol fake out by the music team

    ‣ goddamn, love a good blindside, that pulls this one up to a PROB ep. challenge was shit but it was good seeing the last of paul

    ‣ fire, shitty rock chairs, AND an idol? is there anything david CANT do?!

     

    tumblr_inline_oeatjiJ6ja1t1zpts_500.gif

     

    ‣ wish i could make a gif of the dumb laugh this idiot did

     

    ‣ oh baby, making out on survivor island, nice of the cameraman to keep the boner out of the shot

     

    ‣ VERY specific bowling story from Jay, i guess the cool thing to do is to go bowling with boys instead of staying in with your girlfriend

     

    ‣ Ken actually breaths through the dick, he cant cover that bulge in any way or he will pass out. giving him rescue breathing would be quite interesting though ;)

    tumblr_inline_oeau0kFbPd1t1zpts_540.gif

     

    ‣ no comment

    38sCFxG.gif

     

    ‣ “psssht. whaa? hmph. someone doesnt find my antics adorable? you best go on, girl” the accent figgy uses when talking to michaela and no one else makes me very uncomfortable

     

    ‣ oh right that guy who i saw in the background and forgot who he was was adam

     

    ‣ oh damn the mystery heart attack guy is the old fat man on the tribe, what a shocker

     

    ‣ “if this big gross guy can have a heart attack, this can happen to literally anyone”

     

    tumblr_inline_oeauutuX7m1t1zpts_540.gif

     

    ‣ cant the friggin censors at CBS take ONE MINUTE off for christs sake i was so close. early in the season i make sexy jokes about the boys because that seems less creepy, right around episode 6 i’ll feel comfortable enough to acknowledge i actually think women are pretty

     

    ‣ david reminds me of the stuart character on madtv when he tries to do challenges

     

    ‣ the idea of cheering for a guy underwater just cracked me up, they cant hear you haha

     

    ‣ ken is a goddam beast, nice work dude

    tumblr_inline_oeavcsZEGU1t1zpts_500.jpg

     

    ‣ when u spot a girl look at u because u know ur hair look so good right now

     

    ‣ mari extremely on brand with the video game stuff this ep

     

    ‣ zeke sounds like chris gethard

     

    ‣ oh mari if only it was about puppies or butts

     

    ‣ lol zeke calling figgy “darling” makes me want to puke

    tumblr_inline_oeaw2dqStC1t1zpts_540.gif

     

    ‣ ok this has got to be worth some bonus points in the survivor fantasy pool

     

    ‣ nevermind it doesnt matter any more my fantasy chances are fucked

     

    ‣ time for a celebratory victory orgy for the triforce

     

    ‣ i think this one is a PRO out of PROBST even without my pick for winner getting voted out week 2, that lame heart attack fakeout was shit and cool kids club is still in charge

    i got a lot of things to say so brace yourself. also anyone who wants to can use the PROBST scale, this is now a tradition

     

    ‣ “these 20 americans dont know it yet, but theyre about to be divided into two tribes” uh yeah jeff thats going to be a real shocker to them

    kbbevpc.gif

     

    ‣ ok i dont know who this kid is but he seems like a real goofball

     

    ‣ wow cant believe i let this fucker zeke on my team talking shit about phones

     

    ‣ lol sunday is a piece of shit

     

    ‣ good point david there are no young tv writers out there at all

     

    ‣ btw i will probably post too many notes because im excited

     

    “oh shit,” the new gen x tribe members thought. “am i old now? i’m old, right? im going to die some day”

     

    ‣ tbh i hate when jeff gets philosophical about season gimmicks, like that class season was complete shit and this seems bad too

     

    ‣ gen x got some hot takes re: trophies/work ethic

     

    tumblr_inline_odw27wFeWQ1t1zpts_540.png

     

    ‣ huh how did this basket full of my dicks get on survivor??

     

    ‣ fucked up millenials, you want to kill a godam chicken on survivor island? such a bad choice

     

    2FzzKjg.gif

     

    ‣ gen x tribe aka leave em hangin homies

     

    ‣ wow, interesting twist in the legacy advantage, wonder how that will shake out

     

    ‣ “i call taylor Tails cuz like he’s my brother like how tails the fox was to sonic, like i would do anything for him and he can fly by waving his butt around”

     

    VzHa0uH.gif

     

    ‣ i can actually do this irl. no lie.

     

    ‣ david: “full disclosure, the thing you can tell by looking at me immediately is true, i have never done anything worthwhile to this experience”

     

    ‣ ken already hanging out in his underwear, david thinks the rock hes holding is a idol

     

    ‣ haha these millenial idiots are going to sleep on the beach in the rain

     

    ‣ honestly though i doubt any survivor tribe so far would have been able to get a waterproof shelter together in one night

     

    ‣ haha david why are you telling your tribe how you constantly think about death

    QBwTpG0.gif

     

    ‣ oh damn wait he’s got his fists up is he ready to fight whats going on? nm he’s crying actually. in a confessional. talking to himself.

     

    ‣ huh, millenials actually did fire with the stick rubbing method, thats impressive

     

    ‣ hannah and mari going to work, love to see this

     

    ‣ shortcut puzzle thing is kind of a cool idea, good work challenge team

     

    ‣ wow that big jim gaffigan looking x’er just blew up his mask

     

    ‣ lol love when jeff talks shit

     

    ‣ it seems like the team that already has fire is always the one to win first immunity/flint

     

    ‣ while you’re coming up with your plan also think of what youre going to say to the people on the chopping block, nobody believes “i havent even had TIME to think about who i’m voting for!!”

     

    ‣ holy shit i cant even look at jessica right now, this is insane

     

    ‣ “why you say ‘oh crap’?” - jeff probst, 2016

     

    ‣ very sad to see rachel go, she was a good frontrunner for megababe of the season

     

    ‣ strong start to the season, i give it a PROB on the ol’ PROBST survivor scale

    picking a team for a all-new-players season is very hard and overwhelming so i have barely thought about any of these in any way

     

    Challenge Beast: Taylor. wow. hehe. this guy, you look at him and you think "beefcake". anyone elses pants getting tighter when they think about this guy grabbing you by the hips and teaching you how to do snowboards better?

    The Strategist: Zeke. i saw this guy moving around camp a little bit in a video with the sound off and i thought "hey this guy has a lot going on behind the scenes"

    The Black Widow AKA the Parvati Award; huh ok a little racist but i'll bite. Cece.

    The Cutthroat: David. this guy looks like a little wormy runt so he will probably have to talk a lot to get anywhere

    The Old Schooler: Chris. hey he's on the old timer team and he is a buff bro so they will carry him a while for challenges

    Under The Radar: Paul. everyone likes to carry the old guy and he seems p old

    Wildcard: Sunday. she's got a dumb name and she looks crazy in the little thumbnail i saw on the website

    Bench Player: Hannah. what can i say, you gotta have a guy with glasses on your team and that fits Hannah to a tee

    Final 3 Prediction: Cece, Mari, Hannah. i say they go for a lady alliance this year based on nothing and im betting big

    Winner Pick: Mari, because she's the one my kids care about
