Brett & Danielle are back with an all-new episode after Survivor 50's shocking fake idol play on Wednesday night's episode. Yes, Chekhov's fake idol buried at the Tribal Council set did make an appearance in a wild play from Rick that may or may not have swayed a vote against Coach and Chrissy in a double-tribal twist that no one saw coming. We talk about the state of Survivor twists and how they often succeed or fail based on who goes home as a result -- not how good the twist actually is. In more you may be bad at watching TV discourse, we break down The Pitt's season two finale and most importantly, whether or not Dr. Robby is taking home Baby Jane Doe. Closing out the show, we discuss Euphoria S3, Beef S2 and the subtle art of liking shows that no one else seems to be enjoying. All of that, plus your listener questions.

Brett & Danielle are back for another episode of Hey Jeff where they discuss Wednesday night's episode of Survivor 50 where Dee was sent home after some back and forth tussles with Coach and Jonathan over the 'right' way to play Survivor. Also, Coach's gameplay gets more erratic, Aubry's idol play is somewhat contentious and all of this leads us into tangents on lint traps, smoke detectors and more. Speaking of the 'right' way to do things -- the dIsCoUrSe this week has been about whether or not the general viewing audience is watching The Pitt correctly. As the show wraps up its second season and its plotlines around Drs. Robby, Al-Hashimi and Whitaker come to a close -- does ANYONE know how to watch TV correctly? Or are we all mush-brained now thanks to modern media? Also, we wrap up answering your listener questions & discussing the how-did-they-do-that joy of Nirvana The Band The Show The Movie. And for your reading pleasure: the Costco Connection magazine article about using the brakes on your car.

Jeff Probst introduced the newest Survivor twist with Wednesday night's bLoOd mOoN, and it sure did make the show's fandom go nuts...with rage. Brett & Danielle recap what was essentially a relatively rote (for New Era) Survivor triple-tribal that sent home Kamilla, Genevieve & Colby. Sure, three audience faves went home perhaps a bit too early, but on the other hand, who cares? It's Survivor. They debate fairness vs. bad luck and ask everyone to take a big, Shark Bowl-sized chill pill. Also on the episode, Cirie's endorsement of the poly lifestyle, more theories with two episodes left of The Pitt and Danielle explains the Summer House drama.

Brett & Danielle are back with more Survivor reactions from season 50. In the first true double-tribal of the season, Christian looked death in the face and laughed as he maneuvered his way out of an early exit and seemingly cozied up to Ozzy enough to oust Angelina. Meanwhile on another beach, Charlie's hatred of Rizo boiled over to the point where he looked like the king doofus. The Swiftie got swiftly voted out as Rizo continues his now two-season streak of riding a pocketed immunity idol deep into the game. Also on this episode, Danielle chats about the delights of Send Help and Brett delights in the delightfully Canadian Nirvana The Band The Show The Movie.

Was it the episode of Survivor that marked the beginning of the end? Brett & Danielle react to Wednesday's Survivor episode that featured the Zac Brown team reward that sent the fandom into a tizzy and revealed the rot at the core of Survivor production for so long. With even more celebrity cameos on the way for Season 50, has the show jumped the shark and is it possible to lose the good will established from the excellent first few episodes of the season? Elsewhere on the episode today, checking in on the latest episode of The Pitt, random Oscars thoughts & your listener questions.

Brett & Danielle are back to recap the third episode of Survivor 50. Chaos Q? More like Chaos Emily. America's favorite neurotic queen, Financial Analyst Emily Flippen, returned with a vengeance, betrayed every single one of her tribemates and set off a domino effect of events that led to Q's ousting at Tribal Council. In Emily's defense, Q did tell Mike White to vote for him. So, Goodbye Q, our true chaos king. What worked for you in Survivor 46 simply couldn't work in an all-returners season. Elsewhere in the show, we talk about the Rizo/Charlie Gen Z male beef, and the growing MAGA-pilled seniors alliance of Joe, Coach, Colby & Chrissy. Wrapping up the show, we take listener questions about Jeff's rap, Danielle claims that the idea of restaurants are over, we talk some about the latest episode of The Pitt and somewhere in all of that -- Brett talks about his latest dental endeavor. Jam packed episode. Let's do it. Follow Hey Julie on Bluesky and submit your questions ⁠⁠@HeyJulieBB⁠⁠.bsky.social, our ⁠⁠Discord server⁠⁠, or email us ⁠[email protected]⁠!

Brett & Danielle are back with another episode on the eve of Survivor 50. #ButFirst, they must address the giant shirtless elephant in the room -- that is Dr. Abbott returning to The Pitt. They discuss S02E07 in which a Abbott, now also a cop, gets his scrubs back on and then immediately takes them off, gaining the attention of Drs. Al-Hashimi & Mohan. We're so back, baby. Next, in celebration of the premiere of Survivor 50, Danille & Brett review the cast for the show, assigning a Gen Alpha slang term to how we feel about their return. It's goated, as they say. Closing out the show, Danielle talks about Punch the monkey, A Knight of Seven Kingdoms and Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette.

Brett & Danielle are back for a spooky Halloween episode in which the scariest thing is the friendship torn apart by international baseball strife. Yes, Brett's Los Angeles Dodgers are on the precipice of being squashed by Dani's Toronto Blue Jays, so we devote an inordinate amount of time to the conclusion of the World Series. Danielle asks many appropriate questions such as "why Shohei pitch and hit?," "who Mookie Betts?" and "why no one like George Springer?" Fully riveting stuff for the Big Brother fans, I'm sure. Later in the episode, Brett talks about the ascendance of Sage on Survivor 49 and the duo praise the surgical prescience of The Chair Company's critique of late-stage capitalism. Finally, Brett shares his half-baked thoughts after a visit to NYC and we answer your Discord questions.

Dani & Brett are back with a post-BB27 grab bag of topics at only the beginning of the long Big Brother offseason. First, why are the paparazzi following Vinny the Lip?

Next, Brett recounts what happened on Survivor 49 this week as Jake was medically evacuated off the island in one of the most intense and harrowing situations ever seen on the show following a venomous snake bite. Later, Danielle talks about her native Toronto Blue Jays advancing to the ALCS and we talk about the wild commercials seen on American sports television.
