BB28 Sunday Nominations Ep Recap, Week 6

[00:00:08] What's going on Rob Cesternino back with you on a Sunday night to recap a very busy weekend here in the Big Brother house so much to get through here tonight and we're very excited to be back here with a guy who had another long weekend it's Taran Armstrong, Taran how are you? You know I was doing better Rob before you turned down my offer of five bands.

[00:00:34] Five bands, yep. I know it's a lot of Chipotle sadly not as much Chipotle as it was a couple of years ago but I'm sorry I have to turn that down. Come on bruh. Big Yash night here tonight. We're so excited for this tag team that's here with us back tonight. First of course just came off of a busy stretch Podfriends,

[00:01:03] the pride of Spoken. It's Matt Scott. Matt how are you? Oh my god. I'm here? What? Just kidding Rob. I knew it. I knew I'd be here the whole time. Thanks for having me. I'm so happy to be here and talk to Big Brother. Yes. How are you doing Matt? I'm really good. It's been a hot, hot boy summer here in DC. Whoa! Yeah. Mario's.

[00:01:28] Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. Well we'll have to get that report later on of course from Crime Scene. It's Mari Forth. Mari how are you? Hey, hey, hey. So Y2K where was everybody? I was 10 and I fell asleep before midnight. Yes. Roll call. Yeah, I was knocked out. I was gonna, Rob, I was gonna ask you what was going on.

[00:01:56] I had an incredible night. I don't want to date myself too much but it was all you could drink at a bar called The Patch in Oswego, New York. And it was an all timer. But that's for another day.

[00:02:11] Here, it's a bit like New Year's Eve tonight in that we are really very much waiting and counting down to the big day tomorrow as tomorrow is Veto Day. But more on that to come later on at this hour. And we'll talk about everything from the Yash H-O-H. And Yash is making nominations.

[00:02:38] My wife said, I have not tweeted in 10 years but I am tempted. I want to tweet I hate Yash, she said. I said you shouldn't say you hate anybody. Don't do that. Bro. Yeah. She does not like Yash's nominations. Oh no. Oh my god. She did not like Yash wanted to bro down and nominate only women. Yeah, not great. She did want to do that. Yeah. Not the best. Yeah. Not ideal.

[00:03:08] But I guess we should talk through everything from our blockbuster, or I'm sorry, our knockout competition here. Taryn, I was following along on Friday. A lot of the day was talking about the Haley versus Lala. We did not have any of that in the episode. And I thought that that was an interesting choice.

[00:03:37] Yeah, we, there was a lot of drama between the two of them. I think it's very possible that we get it on Wednesday. It's theoretically, you know, something that can be removed from the timeline and placed somewhere else. Mm-hmm. So there's a good chance we still get it. Wednesday is, of course, the 90 minute episode. This is a very, very packed 60 minute episode. So I get why they might not have had time for it here.

[00:04:04] But yeah, there's certainly a lot of content to mine from it. Yeah. So we'll see what we have from there. Should we talk about the knockout competition, Taryn? I know you were waiting to see just how bad it was. And so now that we got to see how it all played out, what was your takeaway from the knockout comp? They're dead to me. They're as dead to me as they are to Kamu.

[00:04:34] Yeah. What are we doing, man? Yeah. No! Stop! What are you doing?! Yeah, it's bad that Angela has to be the voice of reason for Dee and Devens. And this is really like Big Brother 101. I do wish that my survivor brethren were a little bit more on top of this. Yeah. I'm sorry, but they were told.

[00:05:03] They were told... Listen, listen, listen, listen. Okay. Not only were they told how to play this competition by Drew, who told them, Hey, make sure, and he says it in the diarum in this episode, make sure you pick people you don't trust, and don't pick your allies for a... He anticipated that it might be a knockout comp, and specifically advised them, don't pick your allies.

[00:05:28] And they still did, ooh, look at our ploy that's gonna convince everyone that we're not working together. But not only that, but Drew also told them, as Angela pointed out, that Yash is against them, and wants to go after the icons. And what are they telling us in the diarum? Nah, I don't need to win this one. I'm feeling pretty... Oh, I think Yash wins. I'm feeling pretty good with Yash. Nobody told me Yash is coming after me. Yeah, it's all gonna be fine. It's all gonna be fine. I don't need to do anything.

[00:05:58] I can target my allies. It's totally fine. Oh my God, they broke Taryn again. Like, I don't like them trolling you with Taryn. You never heard that voice from Taryn before. No. He kind of went full Vince. It's a broken robot, yeah. Half Vince. You can't go full Vince. You go half Vince. Yeah, it was... Not every voice is a Vince voice. It was so much worse than I even imagined. Like, I thought...

[00:06:25] When we heard it retold on the feeds, I was like, okay, that's not ideal. But then watching it, I was like, oh my God. Not only did Devin's pick D. And I was like, okay, all right. But she survived. It's okay. She returned the favor and picked him. I was like, so y'all just... Y'all literally took each other out. Like, you just took each other out. What are we doing here? Yeah. It was so bad. Yeah, Mari, that's what we call getting too cute. Like, they were doing a little bit too much. Like, look at this.

[00:06:54] They'll never know that we're close. They'll never know that we like each other. Yeah. They'll never know. It's like, what are we doing? I don't know. I really felt like tonight was the night, and mark it down, August 16th, 2026. Tonight was the first night I felt like that the show really had the vets look a little not great.

[00:07:13] This was the first night that they started to, and really D more so than Devin's, got the, I'm overconfident, and I'm making mistakes, and I'm getting dunked on. I'd call it a lot not great. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I completely agree.

[00:07:42] I mean, they are fully kind of diving in. Angela has always kind of had this hero edit. Uh, and it seems as though they're kind of trying to separate Angela from the other icons and continue to give Angela the like, I know better, but they don't really know better, uh, kind of edit, which makes sense in the context of this week at the very least.

[00:08:01] Um, I do think, and far from excusing them, I do think there's something interesting in the survivor DNA for them as players, uh, that like famously the coconut chop, uh, is something on survivor that like established very early on. It's one of those like early rules, laws of survivor, like don't expose your hierarchy in competitions. Um, famously on survivor, if you take people on rewards, you don't always take your allies.

[00:08:29] There's this kind of like false sense of trying to hide who you're working with or like bring your, your, your, your enemies along. And I think that's kind of like in their minds again, not even close to an excuse given that they were explicitly told not to do it. But, uh, but I do find it interesting again, like how survivor can kind of sometimes influence gameplay. Yeah. Yeah. And the fact that they kept saying in the DR, like, oh, I'm really worried about melody.

[00:08:58] I'm really worried about melody. I was like, why again, y'all should sitting right there. They let, they let him walk to the finals. The fact that he only, it was the first one with him versus Kamu. And then like the second one, he did one more before the finals is crazy. Mm hmm. I mean, it's tough though. Like they, they're coming in, you know, everything's going pretty well for them so far. They're survivor players though. How are these newbies going to outdo the survivor players?

[00:09:27] And so I, I just felt like there's a, especially in this episode, like a huge amount of hubris that we see popping up. Don't get too comfortable with everything that's happening. Um, I don't know. It's, it's hard to watch cause I especially love D, but I was like, D, uh, D analyst, what are you doing? Come on. Yeah. Yelling at my screen. Well, they have so many different alliances. And I think that that was in one of the episodes last week of like, I've got this alliance.

[00:09:55] I've got this alliance and they feel very good about everything. And I think they feel like that these alliances are like insurance policies. So it's like, okay, I have an alliance with this person. I won't go up on the block and really we had not heard very much about the wolf pack, but they put the wolf pack graphic on the screen about seven times in the episode, including the wolf pack graphic with the Kamu's name with no U. Yeah. The same typo. I missed just camp.

[00:10:23] Hold up like, yes, seven separate times across the episode was wild. Oh no. And the fact that they didn't catch it a single one of those times. It's a nickname. Yeah. No, it's yeah. I, they're, they're getting the alliance in while they can. I was a little surprised to see it talked about as much as it was. Yeah. Tara. Do you like overall this, uh, like Alliance graphics screen that we've leaned on so much this season? I mean, I don't hate it.

[00:10:52] Um, they, what they used to do is quick flashes of the people, um, which took a little bit longer. Uh, so this is maybe a little nicer. It kind of consolidates everything. It has the Alliance name at the top. I think it's, it's decent. I do think they overuse it. Uh, but, um, but I, I think it's a good evolution of, uh, of their editing. Yeah. I mean, they still did it though. They still did that with fat though.

[00:11:18] You know, when, um, Melody was like, I hope somebody in that I'm working with gives power. Yeah. I actually, I actually liked that sound. Like I'm so used to it now. Oh, it's great. But it is, it is a little, the only, the only thing that like where it falls short is where we're getting all these alliances, but it doesn't tell us fully what's going on in the house. Like we're seeing D everywhere, Devin's everywhere.

[00:11:45] But like, you know, we need to listen to Terran to get the full breakdown of what's actually happening. So, um, I don't know. I think it's just interesting that they go with that, but I, I like it too. Give me the graphics. Just like maybe make the faces smaller where it's like a further connection, you know? When you say make the faces smaller, so it's a further connection. What do you mean by that?

[00:12:04] Yeah. Like if you have like, like, like we could put like Kamu and, uh, we could put Yash in like big images and then you will have like maybe D here, but like, you know, we can sort of like, they're less significant to the, yeah. Rob. Uh, a, we're workshopping live. Yeah. Okay. Alliance charted. That's cool. Alliance charted. Maybe with some red string too, would be nice. Yeah. So is it worth talking through the rounds of the knockout competition or were there any that we should just jump to?

[00:12:35] I mean, just, I mean, obviously I think the, the, the, the notable ones are D picking Devin's Devin's picking the, uh, and like just how nonsensical that was. Um, other than that, like, I think it was relatively straightforward.

[00:12:50] Obviously Taylor picks Devin's, which should have been the confirmation he needed that like, Hmm, maybe that whole thing where I was told that Taylor and Yash and Lala were all coming for the vets and specifically named me. Maybe I do need to be worried about that. Maybe I should be picking Yash instead of D, but what are you going to do? Mm hmm. Yeah.

[00:13:14] Ultimately Yash goes four times in the competition and he turns out to be actually quite good at this. And so we have our Yash HOH, uh, after the end of this competition and, uh, Yash is fired up. He's, uh, pumped up to have won his first HOH and he is going to go to Kamu who's really going to start to put the word in his ear that D shouldn't just be a pawn.

[00:13:42] Should be a target for him this week. Yeah, they really rely on this, uh, this storyline of D is lying about me swearing on the Bible thing as sort of his primary motivation. That's I think because they decided to not have in the story that D tried to flip the vote, uh, at the last minute. They just kind of dropped that whole thing. That was from what we saw. Could he used an unlock this week? Perhaps.

[00:14:12] Um, but that's quite a ways away. Um, so like in order to give him reason, they kind of honed in on that. But the, the thing he talked about much more than that was the fact that she flipped the vote on with the lyric melody vote. And then something that they left out of Thursday's episode. She also on Thursday, a couple of days ago, uh, tried to flip the vote to keep Haley against Chuck.

[00:14:37] Um, and, uh, and she went to Kamu with it and she told Kamu to leave Yash out of it to not tell Yash about the flip. It was really messy and really unnecessary. It was bad for her to have Haley in the game in the first place. Uh, and this is the real like big reason why Yash and Kamu have lost trust in D heading into this week. Mm hmm.

[00:15:01] So with that in mind though, do we feel like D, it almost felt like D, while this was like the biggest episode seeing egg on her face cause Devin's deer celebrating in the storage room and everything. Like it also feels like D is protected in that way. Um, similar to what we were talking about with Angela and like this, a sentimental music and we're getting all this positive stuff from Angela. I felt like that with D it didn't like, it didn't drag her as much as it probably could have.

[00:15:31] Oh, I don't know. It was like, it was like D and Haley were trying to have like, uh, who's getting the worst edit tonight for like the big, like Dodo edits of the night. Um, because they, they, they, them dragging Haley with the, Oh, I think she, I think he's going to put Lala up. And, and Angela's like, what? Yeah. The voice of reason.

[00:15:54] So I think D I think D took a lot of hits tonight and I'm really, um, kind of interested to see how that plays with the more casual audience. Um, for like going forward, like I, this, this episode to me gives me no, um, no hints about where the, the next power is going to go. I have no idea. Unless Taryn does. It's, it's a good question. I mean, I think, you know, there is one final time capsule.

[00:16:23] Of course, we'll talk about the one in this episode, but, um, from what I've seen, it seems to me, and I don't want to mischaracterize this. I'm not in the big, I'm not in these streets. So please, I apologize if I am mischaracterizing this. Right. From what I have seen in, in chats and here and there is that there's a bit of an on the online community has been pretty unified so far. Uh, they voted for Mallory, but they voted for melody this, this week, there's a bit of a war happening. There's a lot of push for Taylor and there's a lot of push for drew.

[00:16:54] Um, and so there's because they're now on like kind of opposite sides of the house. And so it's kind of like, which, which team are you on in many ways? And so there's been some battle, which could really open the door to where did the casual audience? Yeah. And don't count them out because they really did hype this up. All right, America. Cause I think people got a little complacent with his, this is the last one. You gotta make sure you're going to vote for the last one. Uh, could Yash potentially be in the mix?

[00:17:26] It's probably possible. Especially, yeah, he's getting a lot of TV time this week. I think honestly, I mean, if you look at the episode in totality, he has a good win. He's pretty funny in the diary room. Uh, they do show him being like seemingly manipulated by Kamu, which may or may not be favorable, but he turns down, uh, these bribe and the bribe itself feels kind of pathetic.

[00:17:50] Uh, and I think that the casual fan base will be pretty like, yeah, go Yash turned down that bribe. Like that was because they're not rooting for D in this episode that she's been dumped on. Uh, so yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Yash got some, got some, uh, motion here. That's a big thing to, we'll follow all through the rest of the week. Um, let's go back to Mario. You talked about, uh, Haley having another bad night.

[00:18:14] And first, you know, we, uh, got Haley talking a little bit about being, how she was bullied with, uh, with Angela. But then she also talks about how she's pretty sure she's going to get America's vote. Oh my God. This was, this was tasty. I, I was like, I'm mad.

[00:18:37] I'm still mad at that guy, whoever that was, who hooped and hollered his head off on Thursday, making her think she has some sort of sway. Like, I literally thought that was Chuck. I was like, why is Chuck so excited? I thought so too. Right. You're talking about thanking him. He did. Apple and win this competition! Yeah! I don't understand. What are you yelling for? He, he aided us in helping Haley believe she was going to win this power. Mm-hmm.

[00:19:06] She was like, I've been bullied. And I was like, Haley, please, please. I wanted them to, I was kind of mad that they even flashed back to Lala, uh, telling her to, um, apologize to Angela. Cause to me, that's kind of like, you're trying to tell them that yes, she was being bullied. When like, what happened to like, y'all remember two weeks ago when we got the flashbacks of her bullying everybody else around the house? Mm-hmm. Don't y'all forget that. I don't care how much funny rah, rah, rah she gives y'all.

[00:19:33] That lady is still a menace and I want her gone from the house as soon as possible. So that's me. Wow! But I thought it was, I thought it was absolutely hilarious that she kept saying, I might get a power. I might get a power. And when Melody comes out, her arch nemesis, mind you, remember this is, this is her arch nemesis. Yeah. And she's like, I don't understand America. I don't know. And she's in the diary room trying not to read America for giving her the, the power. It was so good. I'm, I'm so glad. Yeah. I needed that face crap.

[00:20:03] No, I will say I was disappointed. I wanted like, I wanted her in tears in the DR sharing everything, but no, Mari, I can't, you can't be mad at the person who hyped her up even more. Like it was perfect. Um, I don't want her, look, I'm with Rob and that, that thog, thog thog thog thog. I don't want her to leave the house anytime soon, mostly cause I'm worried for you, Rob and Brandon Donlan. Shout out to Brandon Donlan. Um, but no, it's like, what are you worried for us? She's going to come. She's going to come bully us.

[00:20:32] She'll be knocking on your door, Rob. I think she's going to say that. And listen, it's, it's one of the more positive things about her on the internet. I mean, I would hope so. Um, cause I haven't seen a lot of great things about her on the internet, but like, I don't know. I, I hope she has a good sense of humor with all of it. After the fact, I will say like, I want survivor to take notes because it's amazing. Like we love Haley.

[00:20:56] I, if Haley gets a power, gets the power next week, like, I'm just saying I wouldn't be mad. I'm not doing it, but, uh, I don't know. America, America might do it. We've been getting a lot. I don't think it's going to happen. I was, I was really impressed with, uh, whoever was producing. Haley in the diary room, because I said on the updates, like this is 2026 people know

[00:21:23] not to complain about America's pick. You know, this is 2006 or 2005. Uh, the one friendship Alliance was complaining about Janelle. Um, but in that diary room, they managed to milk it out of milk it out of her. Like, come on. How do you, what do you think about melody winning this? Uh, and she was like, I don't want to say it. I'm not going to say it. I can't say it, but really melody. I mean, I'm not going to say it, but really?

[00:21:53] I was like, Oh, they got her. They got her. Yeah. We got her also in the diary room. She talked about how she lost her number one ally and we got a, it's Chuck time. RIP. Memory wall Chuck time. It's Chuck time. And he's throwing on the, the, the, the cutaway to the house guest who's eliminated. That is, those are usually pretty good.

[00:22:19] Um, but we, we did see Haley and Kamu end up reconnecting. She is going to narc on D about the Bible thing, but this is a big story. She's going back, going back to Kamu. Mm hmm. I mean, she has no other choice cause everybody else hates her. So yeah, that makes sense. No. Yeah. I appreciate it. It made sense. Like she articulate, I think I, I personally thought great move.

[00:22:47] You didn't have other moves to make like, yeah, of course, like take whatever support you can get. Mm hmm. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's, it's aligning with the people in power and then ideally if they believe you and want you on their team, they don't nominate you. Yeah. Hmm. But it is a concept. Is this like a tightrope for Kamu or Cam to be working here to reconnect with Haley,

[00:23:11] but then also still trying to keep Lala and Taylor who do not, uh, vibe with Haley. This is a very good point, Rob. And it's something that I think we should clarify, uh, for episode watchers, which is number one. Haley actually doesn't have a problem with Taylor. Taylor. Uh, and Taylor doesn't really have a problem with Haley.

[00:23:33] Uh, they, uh, Taylor has done a phenomenal job of throwing Lala well under the bus in any given opportunity. Uh, separating herself saying, uh, yeah, I mean, I'm attached to Lala, but oh my God. Um, and, uh, has really played on that with Haley and, uh, and Haley fully is like in with Taylor. So like, that's a good connection.

[00:23:59] So then the question becomes, how can the, can they work with Haley and Lala? Uh, and the answer to that is yeah, because they don't have to include Lala in any conversations. They literally just talk to her through, through Taylor. Uh, and so they, the two never have to meet, like, it's not a big deal. Uh, yeah. It works. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I mean, like that, I mean, that's the thing. Like Haley, Haley has nowhere to go right now.

[00:24:28] And the fact that she is a very strong competitor and has more social connections on that side anyways, it just makes, it just makes more sense. And even if a Taylor or a Lala, well, a Taylor don't get along with her, they can see how the game is, is going and it's enemy of my enemy is my friend. Cause they all are looking towards the icons and trying to get the icons out. So it, it makes sense.

[00:24:58] Let's talk about, uh, what Yash wants to end up doing with his HOH. Uh, Yash doesn't want to see any dudes go home on his HOH. Not great. Not great. Not surprising, but not great. I mean, even, even Chuck, I think it was like week two or three. Like he was even clowning on Yash of like, uh, he can't talk to any women. Hmm.

[00:25:25] The, the bro down, that, that bro down complete with pelvic thrusts was, uh, very, very interesting. I, I didn't need that. Well, this is the Drew. I appreciated it. Drew recognizes this, right? I mean, the whole house did at one point that Yash is somebody that they didn't think is going to work very well with women.

[00:25:48] Um, and Drew who for the record, as I said, told the icons be worried about Kamu and Yash. They didn't listen, but he told them because he wants to go after Kamu and Yash, uh, has, in my opinion of that whole crew, including the icons easily played this week, the best so far, which is that he immediately went to Kamu and Yash and went,

[00:26:12] Rose did some dancing and was like, Hey man, it's the bad boys of the summer. There's only five of us left. We don't, we don't want any more dudes leaving. Do we, uh, he hates these people. Um, fully snowed them into believing that he was loyal to their detriment. This week, we have him in the episode saying I couldn't push back too much on D and Angela,

[00:26:39] even though I don't want them on the block because I don't want to be up on the block myself. But the reality is he did push back. There was actually quite an effort to get Barrett nominated instead of Haley, which would have been a much better idea for Yash and Kamu. Uh, but drew pushed back and said, nah, bro, we got to keep Barrett around. He's a bro. Remember you're like, you're right. We don't want to nominate a guy. And so they nominated Haley instead. And that really matters. This looms large. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:27:09] Okay. I mean, it's, it's great gameplay. It is. It is great game, but it's drew drew's lucky. He fits that, that, that young bill. Bro, he bro. Uh, Mari. I don't think he really fits fits, but it works. He's a guy like it. He can turn it up. It's into it. He can turn it up. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Puff out his chest a little bit. Okay. Well, let's then incorporate Devins into this where Yash is going to talk to Devins

[00:27:37] and say that his plan is to put up Haley and Angela and D Rick Devins is not psyched about this, does not want to see D go up on the block, but he doesn't really want to say that D is a close friend of his. Uh, Taryn, is this a little bit like when drew wasn't pushing hard for melody? Um, I wouldn't say quite so much. Drew would be like, yeah, put her up.

[00:28:07] Mm hmm. Devins is not doing that. Devins is, is actively trying to argue against it. You know, maybe we didn't see the full extent of it here, but like he did really try hard to make a case. He strategized with D about the bribe situation. He actually even went as far as they don't show it, cause it didn't go anywhere offering himself up on for the block instead of D. Um, which is a whole can of worms. You'll immediately you'll think, whoa, that was not going to expose their relationship. He had a whole plan for it. Don't worry about it.

[00:28:37] Didn't matter. Uh, but he did put in a lot of effort here to try to stop this from happening. The point, but the problem was they were inoculated to it. Uh, Kamu really tried to reinforce to Yash that like, I don't really know if Devins is going to be down with this cause I think he's closer to D than we think. And Yash fully believes that like, like Yash was also saying that's Kamu. Uh, and so no matter how hard Devins pushed, they were going to be like, well, this is that you're not going to change your minds. Yeah.

[00:29:05] I mean, I feel like maybe for me, it's a situation of like, I have to be there in the house. Cause I, for the life of me can't understand them not, you know, assuming there's some connection there. Obviously like Devins and D have spent a ton of time together, but maybe it's just the level of gameplay, uh, overlooking something that's obvious to so many of us outside the house. Matt, we watched a mother and son play a whole season together. Or a half a season together.

[00:29:35] And people did not realize they had each other's whole faces and people didn't realize they were related. So this is why I love BB cast. Yeah. It's one of those things that I agree. Sometimes you might just have to be in the house to see like what the feel, what the culture and stuff of it is, but nothing's shocking. Shocked me after that. Yeah. Let's talk about, uh, our icons going up and meeting with Yash. Yash.

[00:30:00] You have Angela who really begs Yash to not put her on the block. She says she's going to sell her soul to Yash. And she offers that she will never put Yash up and never say his name. Oh, I love this about Angela. Like she'll just like fully put out all of her cards on the table. She has no shame around it. Uh, and I, you know what?

[00:30:24] Like, I feel like she means it whenever she says it, but it is like Yash pointed out to his credit, like a little bit too late, like five weeks in, not the time to offer up a deal like that. I thought. Go ahead. Well, Angela has a genuinely a lot of experience. She was nominated seven times in her original season. So she understands what it takes to potentially get yourself off the block, but also even once

[00:30:54] you're on the block, how to survive on the block. Uh, she was genuinely, this is not editing tricks, genuinely Yash's target. Uh, of course, Kamu wants to switch it to D, but Yash wants to target Angela because he finds her to be too messy. And when she goes up there and she offers him the world and they don't show the second conversation, but then the second time that she talks to him, she says, even if you do put me on the block, the offer still stands. I will never nominate you. I'm still going to be fine with this.

[00:31:21] Um, and Yash comes away from that. I would say less convinced by Kamu to go for D and more convinced by Angela for being so chill. He was like, I had a great convo with Angela, you know, like, uh, like she was so chill about it. Like I, it was actually great. Um, and so when Angela is doing that, she understands she's been through it so many times. Why bother taking her out? She's pledging loyalty. She's not making a mess.

[00:31:50] Like it's going to be fine. At the end of that conversation, uh, with, with Yash, Angela also said that people are going to love you because they love me. She's good. She just slipped that in casually, like giving him a hug, like, you know, just so you know, America loves me. But, and you know what? Like I like her planting those seeds. I don't know if we, I didn't feel like we needed to see her say that, but I appreciated seeing her say that in the episode. Yeah.

[00:32:20] Uh, Angela has been lucky the first four weeks to be playing from a power position and with an alliance that she trusts a position she had never played before, um, in her previous season. And we saw how she kind of messed that up last week. And now she is in the position. She is no, she's no, like Terrence said, she knows how to play out of it. Uh, and this honestly might be like one of her saving graces this season. Like she can't play from the top.

[00:32:49] Like clearly I hate to say it, but it's, it's not her, her strong suit. Should I say her strong suit is not playing from the top and having to trust people and hope that they're not, they're not thinking that they're coming for her. So her being on the block, her knowing how to ease her threat level while on the block. And just again, her being like, you know, an older lady, older demographic, you don't expect her to win so much is also helping her here too.

[00:33:18] So, I mean, this is, this is the position she's used to and she's going to play it, play it well. Well, I mean, on top of that, like her branding, I mean, obviously before the season, but even just looking at last week of being chaotic kind of helps her in the sense that if she's calm, like it, it pays dividends for her compared with like calm, like common without the U Calm, like common. That's how you pronounce it. K A M. Calm. Sorry.

[00:33:47] I didn't mean to interrupt that. No, that was perfect. All right. All right. Well, let's talk about then D's trip to go see Yash where she's going to deploy the BB bribe. She's going to put her negotiation skills to the test and she comes right out. Are you considering me? And he's like, yeah, actually, actually I am. And she probes. Why? Why are you considering me?

[00:34:13] And he says that he really is trying to go after Haley and Angela. And he knows that she won't go and she put off in week one. So. No big deal. This is just embarrassing for almost everyone involved. Yes. Embarrassing for D to be like, so I give you $5,000.

[00:34:40] Embarrassing for production that they're trying to play this up like it was anything other than irrelevant to Yash because quite that is that is what he called it on feeds afterward. He said, bro, it's such an irrelevant power. I and then they cut the feeds because they're like, and then Yash has to go in the diary room like he's shilling for Chipotle to be like, yeah.

[00:35:10] So, I mean, five bands that's that's a lot of money to make me think about my decision as though he didn't completely laugh it off in the moment. Um, this was just like, come on, man. Like, what are we doing here? Maybe Yash feels like the brand deal he's going to get from Chipotle is going to be for more than $5,000. Now we're talking. No, that's too much Chipotle. Because like you can maybe get like a year's worth. He goes every day. Did you see a day in his life?

[00:35:41] Yes, every day. He secures the bag. I would love to see that. He should start a YouTube channel. Win or lose. Win or whether or not he has $5,000 just like going Chipotle daily. And I would love to see at Chipotle. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Supersize him. I want a double serving. I'm not going to say. You know what double means, right? Yes. Sorry.

[00:36:10] Nope, I'm not saying it. Okay. Yep. Yeah. So. Just a lot of bowel movements, you know? Bow movements. Yeah. The lady of the latrine would be quite busy. There you go. Oh my God. Yeah. Okay. So Yash says no deal. No. Come on, bro. No. Come on, bro. Yeah. Yeah. Five bands.

[00:36:39] I think Dee engages in a little fake crying here on the way out with Yash. Yeah. I think she's just, I don't know what she was doing here. Yeah. That's a little embarrassing. Come on, Dee. She says she tried to pull out all her tricks and stuff, but it's just like, in contrast to what Angela did, it just makes him feel uncomfortable. Yeah. Men don't like to see women cry in front of them.

[00:37:07] Like, especially if they're not like, they don't like you like that. They don't want to see you cry in front of them. So you just made it awkward. And now he's like, yeah, she gotta go. Yeah. But Taryn, Dee thought this was gonna work, right? No, no. She didn't think it was gonna work. She just felt like she had to try. Okay. I don't think she should have tried. Not good. Yeah. And Yash did not like this conversation.

[00:37:37] Right. Like, he very much came away from this conversation. He was like, that convo went terrible. So, yeah, this was not good. Not good for Dave. Okay. And then ultimately after that, we see the nominations of it's Haley and it's Angela and it's Dee. And so those are the Yash nominations.

[00:38:02] That is such a, I mean, minus having Haley up there who we find out that he actually wants to like try and keep and pull in. Those are, those are good nominations for trying to hit a big fish. Also, if you didn't have a power flowing out there that you kind of suspected going out there. Like, I like that he took a swing. Like, at the very least, I like that he took a swing. Now, was it a strikeout? No. Maybe it was like a ball.

[00:38:31] Like he, I don't know. Is it baseball season? Like, at least he tried. At least he tried. Like, I'll give him a second. Yeah. I mean, I, look, I appreciate it from the perspective of like some adversity, throwing that at everyone. Cause even just like thinking about like, you know, like in my work, I do a lot of storytelling and I think about the hero's journey. It's like, we need, we need some obstacles thrown in the way.

[00:38:59] Um, and it, you know, it'll be interesting to see how the week works out. But look, yeah, Josh went for it. And we heard all of his reasoning explained, which I really appreciated. Yeah. Let's talk about our BB time capsule. Also that we saw Melody go into the BB time capsule. She gets the week five opportunity to sit in the spinny chair, but ultimately comes up short and gets a punishment. Number one, which is the lady of the latrine.

[00:39:30] How, how did we not get any, any footage of if, if Lala goes to the bathroom in the middle of the night, as much as they say she does. How do we not get any middle of the night? 90 minutes on Wednesday, Mari. Yeah. We're going to get a segment on Wednesday. I always forget about that. Yeah. Okay. That was so uncomfortable. I want to see that. Mari, we got, I feel like we got enough because we already got. Yeah. Lala standing there kind of doing like the pee dance, having to go. And then it zooms out and you see the whole house just watching.

[00:40:00] Yeah. They're saying, they're faking the horn noise. Mmm. Which is, which is lame because it's kind of like a funny noise. Yeah. What is the noise that it makes in real life? I don't think I've heard it. It's like, even better. Right. Like, what are we, what are we doing? Come on. No, we're chopping the noises. And Melody is so funny. Cause she's like,

[00:40:30] she's like, Hey, Lala gotta go pee. Like, Oh, right. Let me go pee pee. I mean, Derek tried in the old English, you know, style. She said, she got to go. Mm hmm. Yeah. So kudos to Melody, ends up getting feeling the love from America. Yeah. Yeah. She was really self-conscious about this actually, because she was genuinely so shocked that she was like, Oh my God,

[00:40:58] I don't even think I thank to everyone. Like, they're going to hate, they're going to hate me because I didn't even say thank you. I'm so ungrateful. Uh, but it was very funny. Mm hmm. Okay. All right. I know that we have a lot still to work through in terms of what's ahead. So is there anything else from the episode proper? I mean, just cause we, we brushed right past it. Why did we get all the bugs all over the screen?

[00:41:28] Like, I don't know. I was reading comments. People like, Oh, come on. Like it, it's a little cringe. We could have gone so many, as you know, Rob, as someone who was there, we could have gone so many directions. Yes. With Y2K. People didn't like that there were bugs on their screen. Oh, cause like bugs. There, there were bugs in the computer. Oh, Taren, thank you. Yeah. I didn't, I didn't put the two. You didn't get that? Oh my God. No way. No way. No, it was a Y2K bug. Like you couldn't even tell. Like,

[00:41:58] I was like, I don't even know. I wanted to play along, but I couldn't. You, well, I think, I mean, I'm assuming that it is like ultimately playing along meant you just have to vibe it. You just had to be like, I think this one feels like, that's what I was playing along. I got the first two wrong. Cause I was trying to play it a different way. Then I started vibing and I got the rest, right? Oh, yeah. Okay. I just gave up. I don't, they didn't give me enough time. Yeah. I don't know. It was a lot. I mean,

[00:42:27] I was trying to figure out what kind of bugs each of the bugs were. Oh, yeah. Dragonfly. And I know it was luck of the draw, but if you got one that was like, uh, like nine or 10, that was a lot easier than if there was like 18. Yeah. This is true. It's trickier. All right. So with that in mind, we are going to talk about everything that went on after this episode,

[00:42:55] when we talk about the live feeds. The office of civil defense has issued the following message. This is a spoiler warning. A spoiler warning means that an actual spoiler against this country has been detected and that protective action should be taken. I tried to recreate my tick, my viral tick tock dance from, uh, the last couple of days. Okay. Matt should have did some pelvic thrust. Yes. Yes. Okay. All right.

[00:43:25] Wow. We wow. Wow. Okay. We could have a big, big veto Monday on Angela's birthday tomorrow. Taryn. Yup. Uh, yeah, it's, it's gonna be interesting. Um, so as we know, uh, with Angela D and Haley on the block,

[00:43:50] Devins does plan to use his diamond power veto to save D if he needs to. So going into the veto competition, the outcome was really important. Uh, Yash ends up winning Otev. Um, and now Yash holds all of the power this week. Now you would now once again, assume that given that they have fully now pulled Haley into basically a four person alliance with Yash Kamu, Haley and Taylor,

[00:44:20] that they might want to pull her off the block in case she doesn't have the numbers to stay. And in fact, they are worried about that exact scenario that, uh, the votes could flip against us and then we'd be outnumbered in the next H H H competition. If they vote out Haley, that would suck. Anyway, uh, they don't plan to use the veto on Haley. Uh, now this is bad just on the face of it. I talked about this this morning, but if you add the diamond power veto into the mix,

[00:44:47] it gets even worse because given that Yash does not plan to use the power veto, Devins, when he does use his on, uh, D he will be taking D down. And the plan for Devins as of right now is to nominate Kamu in D's place. And for D to blow up his game at the meeting. And for this to be like a whole big orchestra of nonsense, uh,

[00:45:17] all on Angela's birthday. And now this is really important because if Haley stays on the block, when Kamu goes up, the numbers are now there to make sure that one of them gets evicted. Whichever one of them does not win the blockbuster or more importantly, if Kamu does not win the blockbuster, then Kamu leaves. And if he does win the blockbuster Haley leaves. And that's because FAP and the crossovers are going to unite.

[00:45:45] They plan to meet tonight and make an official, uh, alliance between the two of them. Oh, yes. Oh, pump it into my veins. Please. If you're telling me that I could possibly get Haley gone or Kamu gone on a Yash HOH. Yeah. Yeah. Give it to me. This is, this is the first time where I'll be like, I'm like Devins do all of the antics, do all of the antics. And you too D like,

[00:46:14] I love that. They're also like, kind of like covering this, doing some CYA to their, like the people that they're cool with, like D telling like melody about the power. Devin's hinting to everybody that he has a power and that they're going to shake some stuff up. Like, I love that because now when everything does blow up, if the other side tried to be like, well, did you know they were doing this? Then their allies would be like, yeah, they, they told us. So, um, I think it's really good on their part.

[00:46:44] And, you know, I'm still on like, I'm still team D and Devin's, um, and Barrett. I, I, I, I, for Barrett. Um, so I'm, I'm, I'm, I want to see this. I want to see this so, so badly. And I, I do not plan to root for anybody on that side of the house until a combo and Haley are gone. So this is going to be great. And I'm kind of very mad because tomorrow, of course, is my first day back at work, like for real, for real. And I'm don't know what I'm going to do.

[00:47:15] There's a personal holiday, which is, yeah, hopefully. No, yeah, something, you know, we'll make an excuse. This is a sit in the back. This is a sit in the back with the air, earbud type of type of situation. That's all it is, you know? All right. And you're supposed to be in front of the room. Um, no, I'm, I love this. Like we love the messiness. We love when the gameplay does. I mean, I know it drives Taryn and drives you crazy Taryn,

[00:47:44] but this is what I live for in big brother. Cause everything in other shows is like so optimized, but it's just nice when like, it doesn't, it just doesn't make sense. Like how, how would this work out? But I'm ready for it. I'll be watching with Mari. Yeah. Taryn, could you tell us a little bit more about what, what are, is D in particular planning to say, uh, when they are going to blow up Kamu's game? Uh,

[00:48:11] the rehearsal that we've seen so far was Devin saying, you can say Kamu was in this and, and stuff or whatever you're going to say. And then D said, yeah, I'll figure it out. So they don't really know yet. Um, but, uh, but obviously they have a lot of knowledge about all of the things that, that Kamu has been doing all season long. Um, and so I imagine something along the lines of, here are all of the alliances that Kamu is in.

[00:48:42] Primaries, Wolfpack, Bermuda Triangle, uh, Toolshed, Red Corner. Um, you know, like, uh, this is, he, he lied about this. He's manipulating about this, so on and so forth. And I'm sure he's going to shoot back with, you were involved in a lot of this stuff. To what end? Like who, who are they trying to recruit their vote? It seems like that they have the votes with the people in FAP, and they're already convinced they already want Kamu to go home.

[00:49:11] So aren't they just opening up a can of worms to then Kamu just start, or they just feel like they're getting ahead of Kamu trying to out all of their stuff? Kamu will out all of their stuff anyway, I think. And so I think the idea is make Kamu look so messy that, and on the block with Haley, which means one of them is leaving anyway, so that people are like, okay, maybe I'm not working too closely with Kamu. I mean, basically,

[00:49:41] something similar to what he was hoping to do to Jason, uh, with the tea party, which is like, make this person look so messy that nobody wants to associate with them, uh, in the game. Um, ideally they don't do it from a place of like, uh, you know, your family would be disappointed in you. Um, but, um, but that's the idea, right? And because Kamu was on the block again,

[00:50:06] like there's a world where now everyone recognizes one of Kamu where Haley is likely to leave. And if we stay on this side, the numbers are seven to three in the next HOH competition. I don't like those odds. Hey, seven. Kamu sucks, right? I didn't realize about all of that stuff. Mm-hmm. Uh, I, I was tricked by this guy, man. He was playing us against each other this whole time. I actually love you guys.

[00:50:36] Uh, and just like that, the game kind of reopens in a different direction. Right? So, uh, I think that's the idea behind it, or at least it could be the idea behind it, or maybe D just wants to go off on Kamu. I just think that the biggest flaw with this plan is that I feel like that Kamu will be a heavy favorite to win the blockbuster on Thursday. I mean, especially with Angela potentially being one of the three people that it's basically,

[00:51:01] with all due respect to Angela, um, and it would be an incredible birthday week for Angela to cap it off with a blockbuster win. We're sort of like, uh, I guess it's a, you know, basically it's a 50-50 shot of him versus Haley in the blockbuster. That's kind of the point, I think, is like if Kamu does survive, at least they took out Haley, which is like, Haley, Kamu, and Yash are the top three competitors in the house right now. So you take one of them out, at least you'd have all three of them against you. Mm-hmm.

[00:51:31] And you've ideally limited Kamu's actual influence and power so that if Taylor Ulala wins, they're not like a hundred percent gonna already be super locked in with him, maybe willing to, like Yash just did, mistakenly throw up a potential ally on the block. Um, will it work? Uh, who knows. But, but kind of the point is like, yeah, Kamu is hard to take out, which is kind of why you need to take these shots. Uh, Tucker did lose a blockbuster eventually,

[00:52:00] but you need to keep putting them in those positions to lose. And this is probably gonna be your best shot at somebody like Kamu in a long time. Uh, because he's teamed up with Yash who's the set, who, those are the top two competitors in the house. And, uh, and with no chance of winning veto, having to compete against Haley, the third best competitor in the house, that's as about as close as you can get. Uh, the best thing that would happen is if Yash for some random reason decided to use the veto on Angela and put Barrett up in his place, Barrett being the fourth best competitor in the house.

[00:52:30] Uh, but there's no reason that would happen. Yeah. Oh, even though they thought about it. Right. Um, I, I will say like, what if they did like the blockbuster that was it that, was it Captain Wills? No, it was a blockbuster where, um, they had, they just had the two, they had the two rooms and they said, look at the two rooms and name how many differences there, there were. And that's like that anybody could win that.

[00:52:58] So I mean, theoretically you could say like, it'll be one V one, but honestly anything can happen with, with the, with these blockbusters. As long as it's not heavy puzzles again, like if it's heavy puzzles and that's not good. Um, yeah, so yeah, exactly. So hopefully no more heavy puzzles and it's a lot, a lot fair.

[00:53:17] Um, and I would definitely say that if, if what the, what the vets do, if, if they are able to, um, to diminish or weaken Kamu's, um, standing within the house, like he did with Jason during the tea party, tea party 2.0, that'd be great.

[00:53:35] Um, you have players like Taylor who has shown that she's actually very flexible and can really like, um, jump ship in a sense, um, or maneuver her way, um, to the other side or maneuver away from him. So either way, I think if this goes down, if two party, if tea party 2.0 goes down, I'm going to be sad. Yeah.

[00:54:01] And at the very least, it's going to give us another like flexible fluid house. So that'd be fun. I think Taylor. That's what I was going to say. Like, that's the part I love is that like, we do still, we have sides of the house. No one's being steamrolled yet. And somehow we're even against all odds. We're in a position where like, it's not going to turn into a steamroll from here. Like that's impressive. Knock on wood. Knock on wood.

[00:54:27] I think Taylor can and will jump to Melody and Mallory who like Taylor. And like really their biggest issue with Taylor is that she's too close to Kamu and they don't like Kamu. And so if she distances herself from Kamu or Kamu leaves, I think they will prefer to work with Taylor and potentially Lala against the vets, you know, sort of moving forward. Their biggest issue is Kamu right now. And then subsequently Yash.

[00:54:57] But obviously, eventually there will be have to be a some kind of war between the vets and FAP. And, and so I think there's absolutely a world where Taylor, who is a skilled kind of like maneuvering player, can easily kind of work her way into that. I think this is a really amazing turn of events for FAP because that, oh, yeah, in this world where Kamu stays, then he is going to be going all out against the icons.

[00:55:27] And then there's the icons are targeting Kamu. So, you know, I feel like there's a world where Kamu staying is not the worst thing that happens for FAP. I think that if they vote to keep him, I think that that's better. But if he wins the blockbuster, like I think that that diversion of Yash and Kamu going after the vets and the vets going after those guys, like I really do think that that could give them cover for a little while. I mean, it's they have to untangle that at some point.

[00:55:57] I agree. I mean, ultimately, one of Hayley or Kamu leaving this whole situation is just phenomenal for FAP. If personally, if I'm in the game, I want Kamu gone at all costs. I'm just so worried about his competition ability. But so if if the if the option is available, I'm taking it every time. But, you know, yeah, if he wins, it's like, OK, well, we get we get Hayley instead and there's a whole war going on. This is still way better for me than otherwise. Mm hmm. Exactly.

[00:56:28] OK, Tara, anything else that has been developing today around this? Today has been very quiet so far. There was some reluctance from Devins in the morning being like, is there any world where it's OK for you to face a vote? And D kind of being like, listen, I don't I don't want to, but it's your choice.

[00:56:57] Like, I'm not going to make you do this. It's on you that you have to make this choice. I think they're like Dev in Devins is ideal world, which and this is a real one. If they're going to get FAP and crossovers to work together, they have the votes to take out Hayley, which means all they need to do is beat Hayley in the blockbuster. Hayley leaves. He doesn't even have to use the diamond power veto. He gets a similar result anyway. Now he still has it for two more weeks and didn't need to blow up his spot. Now, the reality is his spots blown up.

[00:57:27] Yash and Kamu don't trust him. They even briefly talked about nominating him this week. Like his spots already gone. He doesn't know this yet. He should, but he doesn't. But but like I think he still likes the idea of being able to hold on to this thing. It's kind of like so much risk, though, especially for D. I doubt he actually backs off of this plan, given that, you know, even if he's saying like, yeah, it's your choice.

[00:57:54] Like in what world is D really going to not push just that bit of enough to get Devins to go ahead and do it? You know, yeah. Where do we leave off with the BB bribe? And I know that there was talk about that that D had offered it to Devins, but he hadn't accepted it. So they're just going to leave that loop open and D will continue to have the BB bribe power. Yes, for now.

[00:58:23] Devins really actually wants it. He just wants the 5K. He wants both the excuse and the money. Yeah. But D would prefer to save her. She's like, if we're going to have to burn yours, I'd rather keep mine as well so that I can use it to benefit us in the future. They did do a funny thing where in order to lie about it, because you can't lie about power being used or not used. They just had D officially offer the bribe to him.

[00:58:49] And then he said, I'll think about it so that he can try to imply that she gave him the bribe by saying like, oh, I wouldn't have done this except D offered me the bribe. So which heavily implies that she gave him the bribe. And if somebody asked him like, well, did she actually give it to you? Did you accept? He'd have to say no. But if they don't ask that, then they just assume that it's been burned. Give him the $5,000. Come on. Yeah. Yeah. And then he'll use the power.

[00:59:19] I need Rick Devins to Rick Devins. I was like, we saw social media, Becca Devins is tapped in. But it's like funny. She's there trying to manifest him just blowing up the house. And like, we need Rick to have his like trademark moment. Like, what are we doing? There's no coin for him to, I mean, there's no coin for him to flip. So like, what are we going to do? Devins, your legacy's on the line.

[00:59:48] Like, do Devins things like make a mess. We love it. I don't care if it's good gameplay for him. And my thought process is now the whole house knows about her BB bribe. Like they had to tell that to cover. And after this blow up with Kamu, I mean, well, Yash told Devins and told, didn't he? He told Taylor. So like everybody knows, everybody knows. So you might as well, you might as well use it because like we saw with Yash here.

[01:00:17] If it's like, if it's more game related, they're just going to turn it down because it's 5k. Like Yash really wanted to say that. That's chump change to him. So I can't see like, he's a finance bro. He's a finance bro. He's like a financial officer too at like 24. That's crazy. That's good for him. Yeah. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Anyways. Yeah. Oh, that's not bad. But yeah.

[01:00:47] So like, I don't know how effective it'll even really be. So like if all this stuff goes down this week and say, let's say Haley stays and next week Haley wins HOH. Do you going to be like, hey, you want this 5k to not put me up? You know, like will Haley be like, oh yeah, I'll take the 5k? No, I don't see that happening. So I don't know. I think just, just give it to Devins. I don't know. Yeah.

[01:01:13] Is there anybody in the house that you think is most likely to take a $5,000 bribe? Not particularly. I mean, I just like, maybe you can get Lala to take it on a whim, you know, like, and Lala's the kind of person to offer the bribe to like, get talking to her, get offer the bribe, get her to accept it. And then when she tells Taylor about it later, Taylor will be like, no, no, wait, no, you're

[01:01:42] not supposed to have done that. And Lala's going to be like, oh, I already did it. Can I take it back? Like, nope, sorry. She's already accepted it. She has to follow through. That apparently is how it works. Um, like that's a way that you could do it. You know, what's Taylor really like, cause then the, the show that Taylor was like, yeah, get that money, bro. So yeah, they cut a lot of this, uh, I doubt she was really encouraging him to fully follow through with it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

[01:02:10] No, it is funny though, seeing the show like set up this prize, this, like this power, really $5,000 and like, that's not enough. Like, yeah, because of inflation, look at where we are. Like 15 years ago, they would have loved. I don't think 5k would have been on enough 15 years ago. Yeah. Maybe, probably not. See, 5k is, that's, that's how much it is normally in the veto, like the veto Yankee swap.

[01:02:36] So I think they thought maybe it would be, but it's not when you're like trying to get somebody to do something that might be counterintuitive to their game. Like y'all said, why would I give up? Why would I give up 750 for five? Taryn, did Bunky take $5,000 to put the house on PB and J at one point? It was something like that. Yeah. You know, but that's like very different. He took it like right. That was when $5,000 was $5,000. Uh, yeah.

[01:03:05] I mean, that was 25 years ago, but it is, but still, even then, like if it had been, you know, $5,000 to not nominate will, I doubt many people take it. Mm hmm. Okay. All right. Anything else on your minds? BB 28 tonight? No, this was great. I'm so excited for tomorrow. Um, I'll, I'll find a way to watch it, you know?

[01:03:31] Um, and if, if Angela's birthday, uh, turned into a BB holiday, that's going to be, that's going to be fun. Like, how does this keep happening? Like what, what is the mystique of big brother that big events have to occur on, on people's birthdays? This needs to be studied. Taryn, did you put that in the book? I don't remember. I don't think so. It's like a whole like effect, right? That like, if there's a certain amount of people in a room, there's just more likely that two of them share a birthday than you might think.

[01:04:00] Uh, maybe that's going on. Something. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'll say I've just like really loved the season. Cause I feel like the people we're seeing go out, like they serve their purpose. Like Chuck had his moments. It got a little uncomfortable. Um, and then he got out. Like it's, it's great. Uh, and I love that, you know, everyone's kind of doing their part. Even skeleton. Rachel was pretty great. All right. Well, let's talk about what's coming up here.

[01:04:29] And we're only now about what are we like 10 days away from Rahat con. Rahat con. 2026 is coming up. It's August 26th to the 28th in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

[01:04:58] Then Taron Monday means stock watch night. And I'm sure that there will be a lot of volatility in the market. Yeah.
