The Pod Has Spoken

The mayor of ponderosa is here! Tyson and Riley sit down with the first member of the ‘Survivor 50’ jury, Dee. They talk about her adventures after the show, her expectations coming into this returnee season as a previous Sole Survivor, and get to the bottom of the leaves versus hands debate in the “aqua dumping” conversation. Later, Coach, a.k.a. “Tide Walker,” a.k.a. "Dragon Slayer," a.k.a. Tyson’s BFF joins the show! He gives the entire Pod Has Spoken crew a nickname and gives a behind-the-scenes look at his nickname process.
