0:00 Foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] take channel here on YouTube where I've got the TNT takes for you on The Amazing Race 34 episode 7.

1:07 That's right I'm your host Chris I'm back here with another review and recap of the latest episode of The Amazing Race 34 for those that are watching the video content on YouTube you would notice that I am on my own this day I'm not I'm on my own today I don't have Michelle with me as my co-host so it's going to be interesting because I haven't had to do a recap or a podcast alone in a very long time but Michelle can't make it this week she's got some other commitments which is fair you guys are here with me and who better to be with than the person who ended up losing the team they've been shouting for this whole season in this episode Glinda and lumumba sadly came in last in this league and will no longer partake in the rest of the season so I'm very gutted about that but there is a lot to talk about there's a lot to get into and hopefully I can do a Justice on my own this is not live this is pre-recorded as well so I don't have the live audience sadly to ask me some questions but please let me know in the comments for those that are not available or not able I should say to jump into this podcast live leave a comment below and let me know what your thoughts on this episode was and if I missed out on anything what do you agree with or disagree with and before we

2:27 Get into it I know I sometimes sound like a little bit of a broken record but thank you so much for everybody that keeps commenting on it I do read all of it thank you for the likes thank you for the subscriptions any support you give to this channel is much appreciated as we continue to grow it all right so we start off on this leg it's in Jordan where they've had their last two legs which I really loved and Michelle was a big fan of the Jordan leagues as well but we end up going back to Europe as we all knew it would happen to do are down I might be pronouncing this wrong a region in France with a thousand and one castles and Boya boy France has got some beautiful landscapes I and potentially myself going to go to France in 2023 to go watch the Rugby World Cup which it does look like we might have a rugby challenge actually coming up on The Amazing Race in the next episode because I did see on the next on markers if you're listening to this you attempted a couple of drop goals there didn't look like you were getting them right the cameraman might have might have not done your Justice on that but it looked like he was struggling and it's going to be fun seeing Americans attempt to play rugby or a variation of rugby on this next League because that's obviously for me being a South African originally and living in New Zealand and then New Zealand and Australia for Michelle even like

3:47 Rugby is a big thing over here so it's gonna be funny to see Americans attempt to play that even though I know it is being played in America it's you know starting to get more of a foothold in the American sporting landscape but it's gonna be interesting to see that play out in the next episode but back to the episode A Thousand and One castles that's a lot of castles that's a lot of history I was excited to see where this episode was going to take us and what we potentially could see but we get these teams leaving similar to how they came in different groups Louis and Michelle they want to make it a three-peat of Wednesday leave and the first group with Aubry and David who I have to admit I kind of forgot that Aubry and David actually finished that high in the last episode they definitely had a very good leg let me just have a look at their sort of history on the show so they were 11th on the first leg eighth on the second leg then six on the double leg or the major the Meta Mega League eight from the fourth and then second so second and third are there bit like well I guess third for the first half of the mega League second was by far their best performance and I kind of feel like it maybe was a little bit of a fluke because it also saw some of the other teams like the military brothers and the twins not do as well as we've seen them in the past so it'll be interesting to see how they do going forward because

5:07 They barely survive this time around and I think they had some trouble in Europe before so it'll be interesting to see how they go with the next League still being in France and having some of that navigational issues that they've got but nonetheless they leaving these groups Lou and Michelle right at the front they want to make it a three-peat more and more of Louis Michelle we started to see more of their personality we're starting to see more of them being extremely competitive on the show which is fun to see a team be their competitive because myself if I was on the I would be super competitive I would want a wood neighborhood thing and they definitely have that fire under them now that they've proven themselves and have gotten this High placement twice in a row the second group that leaves here has got quite anomedi Derek and Claire and Quinn and many are saying that they want to make sure that they navigate correctly throughout this league to make sure that they continue to move up on the picking order now they had a third place a tenth place a fifth place a sixth place and then a third place obviously this last one being their best finish since leg one so big leg ahead for them as well as they continue on this leg they are gonna fall back down so again it's one of those teams where they had a little bit of an improvement in the last league but going back to Europe going back to having to navigate it looks like it might be a problem for them ahead going into the

6:27 Next elixir so very interesting here we hear from Claire saying that you know they've both lost Big Brother clean Derek and that they want to win this one they're hungry for the win since they've lost Derek in fact have lost two reality TV shows now that he's also gone on the challenge but I do think it's giving him some experience on how to be quote unquote professional reality TV star because this is going to be his third showing on a show like this and I do think you'll learn some tricks of the trade if it's not your first go-around which probably came in handy later on when they had to choose a detour and they had to do all those different challenges but we'll talk about that as we get to it one of the funny comments here early on was Derek saying that he is fun employed the F being silent clay saying he doesn't have a job she kind of looks like she's desperate for him to get a job just saying she's like we want to move on with her life money would be good and Derek is the person at this stage that maybe needs to get out of the house and go find a job but in this defense he's been on a lot of these shows so I think it would be difficult for him to do these reality TV shows if he did have a job because the amount of time he would have had to take the take off in the last year would have been a lot so it's interesting we obviously get Glenna lumumba going down late they get out of there late and then as they go to the roadblock this is the

7:48 Big thing that happened on the next on The Amazing Race I guess section for last episode where they showed someone go and crash a car or run over someone or we didn't know what was going to happen you just see the camera going all over the place and we find out that it is Glenda and lumumba who ended up going down the wrong Street as they were trying to navigate to get to the roadblock and Glinda tries to reverse out of where she was and then goes down a ditch and she says that she thought that there was just grass there where she was turning but it ended up being down a ditch and the whole car was kind of looking like it was going to fall over and you could see someone there I don't know if it was a producer or someone from the show if it was local in the beginning they was telling her hey just move very slowly get out of the car because there would have been a real fear for her life in that moment that the car could roll with her being in it even if it's not stationary those cars are not meant to be on their roof so obviously you want to make sure that the person inside of the car gets out safely they somehow manage to get Glenda out of it and then a neighbor as the member said comes riding in like a hero on a stallion or a carriage being the tractor and within five minutes they get them out of there and they drive and the

9:08 Car seems to be okay it didn't get damaged too much so they are good to go but losing only five minutes shows you being 45 minutes behind that first team I think really heard Glennon remember and it continues to be one of those things where for me personally I'm not a fan of the groups and living in groups now it may not have had the biggest role in them being eliminated they could have just made a lot of mistakes and they would have made a lot of mistakes to continue to drop down the leaderboard as much as they did but I just feel like sometimes if these teams at the back like they have less of a chance to get back I don't know I don't like the grouping situation too much but what an overhype overall from the show because it ended up not being that big of a deal Glenn I remember they get out of there and they continue on their way so it leads us into the first roadblock of this episode on this roadblock they have to run up what looks like a lot of different buildings like ancient castles it may have even had quite a lot of Decay happening on these buildings from the looks of it but they have to run up from the bottom and it looks like they're going up a bunch of staircases and things to get to this big tower-like castle which they have to go in and then inside of the castle they get all of these different crests family crests

10:28 And it's a family tree with over 22 generations of family on there and like anything with the Amazing Race there's always a catch there's always a way to game the system to still get what you want to get from it and actually move past the challenge a lot quicker than everybody else you can always game it and you know well done to Louis Michelle they get their first Michelle is the one who ends up having to do this roadblock and I did say I think in the last podcast with Michelle that I'm a little bit worried for Louis and Michelle because Michelle hasn't actually no it's confusing I'm talking about my Michelle I told her last week that you know I'm a little bit worried because Michelle and the show has not done a lot of these roadblocks and I believe it was four to two for the roadblocks with the max amount of Roblox that you can do on the show being six this season that was confirmed by one of the races to us I was a little bit worried that they were going to run out of Runway here with Louis taking so many of these on but Michelle steps up she does this one very quickly realizes when she's up there's a lot for me to remember a lot of names to remember obviously at that point she doesn't know that she actually needs to also remember the emblems but she decides to do the right thing move on from there go down the building and repel and then memorize when

11:48 She gets to the bottom the names and the different emblems that are going to matter so an interesting thing happens here because she does go down this she does remember it in the first go gets up there and in that time Quinton and Maddie they get there in second place we find out that Quinn and Maddie and Louie and Michelle they've worked together before in the past and Michelle is happy to disclose this information to Maddie and she said that she had a lot of trust in herself to just Blitz this thing and still stay ahead of Maddie which she does end up doing so hats or tour for having their confidence and this is just another way for them to you know I guess reach up with the olive branch and continue to build that relationship with Quinton and Maddie that maybe the favor will get returned in the future me personally I actually like to believe the reason that she did do this is because Michelle and Louis think that they can beat Quinn and Maddie so if you're in the game and you're ahead and couldn't and Louis Michelle you guys let me know I know Louis you may be able to listen to this and ask Michelle this directly and I know you're going to want to show respect to all Races you can never underestimate any races but if you could keep Quinton and Maddie ahead of the Twins and the military brothers who in my mind have been the two most consistent teams this season outside of Louis Michelle themselves obviously if you can keep another team ahead of them why won't you and I think that's one

13:08 Of the other reasons potentially that Michelle helped Maddie in the situation to try and keep them ahead give them a little bit of info but Maddie does go down and both Louis and Michelle and Quinton and Maddie they ended up getting this puzzle or memory challenge sorted within their second attempt so very impressive to see it did when I first looked at this I thought wow this looked like a very difficult challenge to do and I'll be honest I would have been worried if I was on this challenge to go and do this thing but they all seem to work it out really well and there was no issues long term with it now also arriving at this specific roadblock is the Twins and the military Brothers the Twins and the military Brothers again you just can't separate these two teams man like they've been going head-to-head they've seen each other as each other's biggest competition especially the twins they've seen the military Brothers as their biggest competition but you can't separate them throughout this game so they get there together Michael is the one that finally does this one and I say finally I don't know why I say finally because they were equal to three but this puts Michael ahead I believe 4-3 now on the roadblocks but he's the one who steps up and does This and like we've seen in some of the previous challenges he does overthink things and I think that is my weakness as well if I was able to be on The Amazing Race I'm one of

14:28 Those people I always think that something is more difficult and more complex than what it is and I always make things more difficult for myself so going down and repelling down this Castle he's looking at places for clues or for names or for something that's not there until he actually finds the place that he has to do it now there was a little bit of tension here again between Marcus and his brother Michael because at the end I believe Marcus did say I would have done this one better and Michael wasn't the right one to do it and I mean yeah I get it like Marcus is a super competitive guy I'm a super competitive person me and my brother I get that's their brotherly relationship and you always wanted to try like I said one up your brother type of thing but in Michael's defense he does get it on the third attempt so it's not like he was completely blowing it out it's not like he was doing it five six attempts so I know most teams seem to get out there very quickly because at this stage Emily and Derek does go past them in third and fourth place so it puts the military Brothers behind but the one thing I think that Marcus is right in getting a little bit annoyed with his brother he says we've never been this low in the picking order while doing the race but this time they were low and there were a lot of pressure being put on them by

15:48 Other teams because they were quite low in the picking order they were fifth so they only had like one or two teams behind them so Marcus is feeling the pressure so they run down this Castle down the hill all the way down and then Michael realizes that he left I believe the car keys and a clue or something up at the top of this Castle so they have to go turn around and run all the way back up now I don't know how you guys would have felt in that case I know if it was me and my brother I would have been pretty upset with them at that point because you're already you know running up this thing once and it looked like it was quite a distance to Trail it probably isn't translating well on the TV but they end up having to turn back and through all of this let's not forget that the twins are dealing with a leg injury so hats off I'm gonna get as confused and I apologize if I do hats off to Emily I believe for having that injury and still pushing through still doing all these different things and running up and down and consistently just being a champion like they've just got so much half the twins and we learn a little bit about this as well in this episode and I know I'm going through things really quickly here in the podcast because I'm on my own and this is just random thoughts that I have as I've watched this episode without having someone to bounce off I'm probably going to get through this a lot quicker than what I would normally do with

17:08 The help of Michelle but it's one of those things where I think you know hopefully I give you 30 minutes of quality if it does end up being a 30 minute podcast there's very much a test for me as well to do it this way but one of the things that for me really stood out was the twins talking about some of the similarities they had growing up both having kissed I believe a boy in fifth grade both getting in trouble for that both feeding I believe their dog the same way and even though they've grown up in different parts of the world they've got so much similarities and it was even like going back to last week growing up within you know the Jewish both growing up in a Jewish household it's just strange like how the twinder thing or how twins have got this telepathic thing you know even if you remove them and you put them in different parts of the wall they still have that and it's so fascinating to see and I bet you it's really surreal for them to have that experience and get to know each other like this as well another team that we continue to learn more about and they have trouble because they left like I said in second place I believe going to the roadblock but they really started falling behind is that of Aubry and David and Aubry and David I believe they said that they've been together for two and a half years they're

18:28 Still learning a lot about each other because two and a half years is not I mean it's a it's a decent amount of time but how often do you spend time with someone without distractions like without a phone without like external distractions and give them all of your time and all of your attention and you're put in a pressure cooker situation where you've got to work with this person to win the show for half a million dollars or a million dollars I've got I think it's a million dollars still for The Amazing Race but they've got to work together right to get this money and then also learn about each other on the race that's a stressful situation I've said it many times before I would not want to go there with a partner I wouldn't want to go there with someone I'm married to I just for me personally I would be very uncomfortable with that because I would feel like unless you know some relationship Forest some relationships really do well like Derek and Claire's doing extremely well is doing extremely well but you just don't know until you get there Louie and Michelle's doing really well but they end up getting frustrated with each other because the way they communicate under pressure is very different David continues to drive really fast for Aubry and Aubry struggling to read the map and navigate which is a skill in its own and I'm sure she didn't have much experience with navigating prior

19:48 To doing this unlike the military brothers who continuously just kills it and I feel like I've been calling that right from the beginning of the season I've said that the military Brothers anything where there's navigation they're going to kill it being from the Army you've got to navigate you have to be able to read a map and it's a skill that's lost upon the new generations and she's and sorry markers has got a down pat he's really getting it done and continues to just bypass people here because when the military Brothers they leave this roadblock they're actually behind they fall behind Aubry and David as well and being behind Aubry and David they've got a lot of work to do they've got a lot of catching up to do but from this point of leaving in fifth place or sixth place they are actually the first people to get to The Detour which is crazy to me they overtake everybody they overtake even Louis and Michelle who've been you know up until that point when Lou and Michelle got out of there first I was like wow these guys have become so consistent they may be the team to beat because if they do get a third one in a row no one else has even had two so and I thought it was in the works for them until the military Brothers got past them in this navigation but now the one thing we don't know as viewers

21:09 When we watch this we've got no idea how long it takes from point A to point B and if any of the races are listening to this markers for instance or any of the other races then we'll listen to this approximately what was the distance traveled between these different detours and roadblocks and things on this league because it seemed like a lot of teams were having a lot of issues and I don't know if it was because of the forestry and how high the Greenery around them was and they couldn't like clearly see where they were going it looked like they were in a lot of rural places as well obviously I'm sure the language barrier would have been a big thing over in France as well that they may have struggled to actually talk to locals and get direction but overall military Brothers kills it they get to The Detour we find out that there's two options they can choose to do the walnuts cracker or they can choose to do the medieval all gamer now the walnuts cracker they need to go and find walnuts in the Orchard and it's really funny moment there where the brothers don't know where to find it and it's all on the floor around them and you see the cameraman just showing like you're already in this Orchard where you can get it or growth I believe it was a Walnut Grove what's the wording and Marcus wasn't sure what that meant but they have to get these

22:29 Walnuts put them on a table crack them and then put them into a presser and use a crank to get the juice out of that and my first thought when I saw that was like that was going to take ages like how much juice is in one Walnut like for out of Interest sake like if you had to like guess like how many walnuts that those teams actually have to put in there and crank and press to get this juice into this jar that they use for I believe like oil I think it would have taken a long time it looked like a hard job my initial instinct when I heard about the two types of challenges that you could take I would I would have thought that most people would go for the medieval games I love playing like these little circus games obviously being a big Survivor fan you know I would have seen a lot of the similar type of challenges like I kind of felt like in medieval games all three the challenges that they had to do being the one that you had to throw the sand back up on this long pole with a little stand on it balance out these rocks on a on a moving platform and then obviously taking this ball up a ramp with so many holes and you've got to like navigate your way up to the top all of those to me looked extremely familiar they all looked like things I've seen in Survivor before with the exception being that on the challenge where you've got to move this ball up this

23:49 Ramp the person who's actually doing the moving is behind the boardway and Survivor they're normally in front of it and they can navigate for themselves you kind of have to rely on your partner your Communications got to be clear and you've got to trust that they're telling you the right thing and then that way you could win that so it looked like something that I would have really liked to attempt so I would have been interested to know what Michelle would have done sadly I don't have her here to ask her which if we were a team which one would she have navigated to because I would have gone either way it wouldn't have bothered me too much but I agree with Claire when Claire gets there she's like everybody's doing the walnuts cracker let's go do the medieval gamer because this is where we make up time this is how we get ahead of teams and they end up doing it and it's interesting because Louis Michelle also had the interesting to go and do that but they ended up changing their minds because they really struggled on the very first Challenge and you almost wonder should they have gone and again Louis you can correct me I know that the show doesn't always show us everything but you almost wonder should they have tried one or two of the other games first to see if they could at least get those two knocked out quickly and then they would have had a little bit more time to practice on that board and it would have been very interesting to know how long they were there as well because it seemed like they moved away from it very quickly so ultimately they do go to the walnuts cracker obviously the military brothers are there for quite

25:09 A while it looked extremely time consuming but the military brothers did work up quite a lead for themselves getting there as quickly as they did so they end up going out of the at first place and then ultimately they're gonna they're gonna end this whole leg on first place I did find it quite amusing that at points they made it look like the military Brothers was getting lost and that they didn't know where they were going and but I mean ultimately I knew when they were going to this next place I think that it had a little bit of a clip where they were driving into a dead end to make you like Wonder ah as the military brother is going to get lost there's someone going to make a fatal mistake so Glenda and lumumba can come back from behind but it was never in doubt like when it comes to the navigation like I think and it's always scary when you put this much faith in the team but I mean you've got to put the house on Military Brothers to go out and win this whole thing now like Louie and Michelle you definitely have a shot as well you've won two I don't want to disrespect the fact you both have done extremely well and the twins have also known well like this is definitely one of the most balanced seasons ever because there's a lot of good people but if it's going to be navigation then I feel like they're gonna kill it the only difference may be when they go back to America maybe that navigation doesn't matter as much because everybody is sort of familiar with America so being that the final leg would be the great

26:29 Equalizer when they go back and that may be the thing that bites the military Brothers in the back but I do feel very comfortable because of the way that this season is structured because of the fact that they're driving themselves most of the time that the military Brothers like they must be the safest team it's going to be an absolute fluke or they're going to have a brain fart somewhere or do something very dumb for them not to at least make it to the final and then the final egg the great equalizer might be the fact that they're all in a very familiar surrounding so that's where my money is and they also get a 7 500 I believe reward both of them after the race to enjoy so well done to Marcus and Michael for getting the first place and having a very dominating performance obviously the only flaw in this is was Michael having to run back up can you imagine how much quicker they would have even been if that didn't happen but they go to the pit stop and the pit stop is called panorama which is interesting because obviously you get the panorama photos that you can take these wide views and it had a spectacular View at the top of this River and just a lot of Green Landscape around so it looked absolutely stunning and I believe it was close to a place called Dome as well outside of that obviously Claire and Derrick they change it around they get out of there in second place at the detour but

27:49 Somehow they still fall behind I believe they get into third place with the twins getting that second place the twins overtake them again on the navigation which shows why the military brother brothers and the twins have been the two most dominant teams their navigational skills are next to nothing and it also restores a little balance a little bit of balance here because I feel like they have been the most consistent team so we do get to see them go back up Lou and Michelle who ended this in first place wanted to get their three-peat they do still finish or feature in the top four they get fourth place behind those teams and still had a very good round I just don't know where things went so wrong for them would it have been better for them just to stick to doing the games did they maybe give up too quickly on that or was the Navigation always the thing that was going to bite them in the behind basically I don't know it's very hard to tell with the way that the show is edited right now but there's still a very strong team still performing very consistently Quentin and Maddie they get fifth place overall and then it was an interesting it was actually an interesting I do need to talk about this there was a very interesting point where as they're leaving there's a little bit of David and Aubry Going

29:10 Down The Long Place having to reverse Quinn and Matty following them so Quinn and Maddie and Aubry and David they were kind of like following each other struggling equally I believe on the navigational part to get to this pit stop but Aubry and David the communication just completely fell flat David getting re-flustered thinking that he may be in last place which is understandable they haven't seen Glennon lumumba the whole day they don't know if Glennon remember somehow overtook them it sounded like they were taking so much time in between these legs so they could have somehow missed each other and he gets a bit flustered and cracks Under Pressure but also Aubry does so for these two to continue to be a force in this game and to have any chance in my mind of getting to the end game if I was in the shoes and their position I would have said let's talk about it in between the leg let's go sit down I don't know if they're allowed to have like a nice red wine or something you know they're in France has got beautiful wine so I'd be like hey let's put a nice Merlot or you know Shiraz or something and let's sit down and have a chat let's talk about this last week things went wrong where can we improve how do we better communicate with each other and David's frustrated because I think Aubrey's struggling a little bit with the navigation side like I said it's not a skill that everybody has it's not

30:30 Something you have to do in your daily because you've got Google Maps you've got the iPhone whatever the equivalent is of maps on there so you know in general we're so spoiled and we don't even realize it until you go on a race like this but they need to learn how to communicate better and plan things out a little bit better and yeah I mean it's tough it is tough because David says he can't jump on the back to navigate and drive and things went pear-shaped for them but I'm interested to see how they get it right if I had to put money on the next team to go out right now it's got to be all red just based on what we've seen but maybe they'll find a way maybe they find a way to get ahead of one of the other teams but that top four teams I'm telling you right now the way I'm seeing it military Brothers twins Derek and Claire Louis Michelle I would not be surprised if that's the final four teams and it's going to be one of the most competitive races to see who gets into the final because all four of those teams are pretty stacked Glenn and lumumba this whole leg was a bit anti-climatic with them because they were behind the whole time and I don't actually know if they gain time or lost time on the teams ahead of them I kind of feel like you almost wanted to see Glenn and Limbaugh leave with the rest of the teams in the last place instead of even being 15 minutes behind the third group you just wanted to see them at least have an equal opportunity if you're going to

31:50 Be doing it this way but they just couldn't make up their time and they get in last place here it hurts my heart to see Glenn and lumumba go I really enjoyed them I don't know if they've listened to any of this content but for any of the races if you've got good friends if you're good friends with Glenn and remember just let them know they have a fan of me are supporting them throughout the season I wanted them to do well and the reason that I supported Glenda and lumumba so much throughout this season I know Michelle was laughing at me and she's like Chris what are you on about they're not going to win I was having hope maybe I was delusional to a certain degree but what really attracted me to Glennon remember is just the relationship they have with each other you know I think it's something to look up to they've got such a fun relationship they're so positive all the time you know even throughout this episode just talking about the fact that they're just happy to be there and they realize how fortunate they are to do this experience and they're grateful you know and just loved everything about them you know even the comment where lumumba goes up on the repel and he has to come down and glenna's like you know you've got to protect the crown jewels they're trying for a baby and she's saying we're trying for a baby as we speak and I'm like oh so they were trying to get a Amazing Race baby basically and I wonder if that's ever happened but they maybe tried to get into the record books of The Amazing Race and

33:10 You know make the baby as they speak right they're on The Amazing Race in between legs but such a great presence through the season such a great team like I mean that's how you want to play the game like if you go out if you was ever if you were ever to get the opportunity to play the race you want to be like Linda Mumbai you want to get into a position where when you leave your absence is felt and I do feel like we as fans are going to feel the absence of Glenn and remember not being on the show anymore because there was such a great positive you know team and just had so much character so in that sense I think the shows weaker for not having them but then again with the teams that are there these are some of the most competitive teams I've seen and I know last season was really competitive as well we had the races on last season saying that they believe the final three would stack up well against any final three from any other season hint maybe full kogan let's get a battle of the seasons top threes from different seasons going up against each other I'd love to see something like that what do you as the fans think of maybe getting a couple of top threes from different seasons doing a battle of the seasons type thing could be old school mid-school new school I don't know it could be fun but overall that's how the episode ends remember no

34:30 More we do see that they stay in France for the next episode and like I said it does look like there's going to be some sort of a rugby challenge in there it looks like it's going to be fun for someone like myself being a massive rugby fan go to springbox current world champions from South Africa but what's your thoughts I'd love to hear more what you guys think about this episode like I said this is a bit of a quicker one it's just a brain dump of all the thoughts that I had I had to pre-record this myself as well because with Michelle not being on and also myself having some plans for the normal live date I thought I pre-recorded get it out of the way I hope I did adjust this let me know what you think about this solo format of doing the podcast as well it's not something I'm very familiar with and don't worry it's not going to be a Mainstay I'd like to know your thoughts because maybe for other shows where I don't have co-hosts and I want to do it and I'll watch the show I might do something similar like this in the future where I just have chats because I can sort of schedule it around my own schedule which is really busy right now with work and some of the projects that I'm working on for example one of the shows that I recently watched and I have not been podcasting well two shows I've watched but I've not podcasted on it three shows I've watched and I hadn't podcasted on it the challenge I'm still following the challenge I need to watch the latest episode though I've not been podcasting on the

35:50 Latest season because I used to love doing that with my co-hosts Drew and Chantel and with some of the time zones not working out and with my own schedule being busy I just thought I'm going to sit this season out but I will be back to do the challenge Australia and hopefully I'll have a co-host for that but I've also been watching the mole and I've watched Traders so maybe some solo podcasting content for some of those shows in the future could be a thing if you think that this would be enjoyable so put a like on the video that way I know you like this type of content comment below let me know what you think and please consider subscribing because it really is the biggest way you can show support to this channel as we continue to grow so hit the Subscribe button and I'll see you next time when we talk hopefully with Michelle again about the next episode of The Amazing Race episode 8.
