Interview with Michelle Schubert from ‘Survivor’

February 13, 2017 /

The “Survivor” crew is back to welcome another very special guest to the show! This time, it’s Michelle Schubert from Season 33, Millenials V. Gen-X, and this one is really great.

Taylor, Levi, Ty, Jordan and Michelle have a wide-ranging conversation covering what has stuck with her from the experience (2:45), Michelle’s interesting TV-watching habits (5:30), her love for thrills (8:00), how she felt about the way she was presented on TV (12:00), whether final tribal was predetermined (16:10), what really happened when the cyclone hit the island (18:35) and whether she thought about quitting (21:15).

They also discuss what it’s like being a Christian on the island (24:40), some divine intervention from early in the game (26:00), bringing her faith into “Survivor” (30:45), the most common reason people reject her message (38:00) and being a woman on the internet (39:45).

Finally, they move into the wide-ranging rapid-fire round, asking important questions like “cupcake or muffin” (43:30), whether time exists (45:00), whether she’s ever had any medieval diseases (47:30), what if you woke up and everything was different (48:00), calling versus texting (49:30), how she likes to write (52:30), her favorite Bible translation (54:00), and her daily motivational reminder (56:00).

Fauxworthy Podcast Episode 43: A Podcast of Unfortunate Takes

February 7, 2017 /

 

Bryan and Taylor have a lot of television to cover from the month of January! On this episode, they recommend checking out “The Good Place” so they can revisit the finale in a few weeks (2:00), discuss their conflicted thoughts on the strange HBO series “The Young Pope” (5:20), why “The Young Pope” is similar to “Baskets” (9:00) and dive into the self-indulgent FX series “Taboo” (11:40).

They also discuss whether Tom Hardy can save “Taboo” (13:00), whether the show is visually interesting (15:15) and whether “The Young Pope” or “Taboo” has a higher ceiling (16:00).

Finally, the guys dive into the new Netflix show, “A Series of Unfortunate Events” (18:00) and discuss whether Neil Patrick Harris is right for the role of Count Olaf (20:15), what the target age for the show is (21:15), the show’s clever writing (23:15) and drop some thoughts on the Oscar nominations, including a brief review of “Hacksaw Ridge” (27:55).
