Speaker 4 (0:00) This is an iHeart Podcast. Speaker 3 (0:02) Guaranteed human. Speaker 1 (0:04) Scrubbing in Speaker 3 (0:05) with Becca Tilly and Tanya Radd, an iHeartRadio and two-time People's Choice Award-winning podcast. Speaker 3 (0:15) Hello, everybody. We Speaker 4 (0:17) are scrubbing in. Tanya's still mad from the last episode. Wow, she carried that Speaker 1 (0:23) for days. Speaker 4 (0:25) 72 hours. Speaker 3 (0:27) First of all, I thought that was a great tease because people love family food. People did seem to really like family food. Yeah, well, what do you want me to tease? We have some riveting breakfast talk. Speaker 4 (0:45) Tonya, I want to see you on a reality show. I think it's time we really push. I would love to see you on Special Forces, really. There is not a shot in Speaker 3 (0:55) hell. Speaker 4 (0:55) You Speaker 3 (0:56) know Speaker 4 (0:56) how much money you make? Apparently the starting point, which I don't know if this is real, $100,000. And then it can go up to $500,000. Speaker 1 (1:04) You know what? It's a network show. I think that's legit. That's crazy. What do you win if you win? Speaker 4 (1:08) The money. I mean, I think that it's just like the being able to complete the... Speaker 1 (1:14) No, but like on Survivor, you get paid to be on there and then you win a million dollars if you win. Speaker 4 (1:18) You don't get money. Yeah, they probably pay you Speaker 3 (1:20) like a thousand bucks or an episode or something. You have to pay, right? For like SAG after or something? Yeah, on Survivor you get paid more the Speaker 1 (1:27) longer you last. But on Special Forces... Yeah. You can win 500 grand by finishing it, by winning it. Yeah, Speaker 4 (1:34) winning it. Because Tanya's not Speaker 1 (1:35) going to win it, let's be honest. Speaker 4 (1:36) But I'm saying she could just go on, give us some good, a couple episodes. Excuse me. Speaker 1 (1:40) You just said that you wouldn't be good at that. I don't think you'd win. I think Speaker 4 (1:43) you could win it. I think you would lock in. You say you're not competitive, and you're insanely competitive. First of all, if Speaker 3 (1:51) any man comes into my bunker at 3 a.m. and yells at me to like get up and get out into the mud. You Speaker 4 (1:56) gotta Speaker 3 (1:56) rip Speaker 4 (1:56) that mouth tape off and get the pregnancy pillow pushed to the side. Speaker 3 (2:01) The first challenge of them having to jump out of the helicopter backwards into like a swan dive into the water. I was like, I'd be out. Like I would not have done even the first challenge of this season. Speaker 2 (2:14) There's no prize for Special Forces, by the way. But I'm just saying, I Speaker 4 (2:17) think Speaker 2 (2:17) the Speaker 4 (2:17) further you get, you get Speaker 2 (2:18) paid. You get paid, but it's not like, it's reportedly based on their level of celebrity. So I Speaker 3 (2:24) get paid a dollar. Speaker 2 (2:26) So Tanya, we get paid $10 million. JoJo Siwa got like 20 grand. Exactly. That kind of thing. Speaker 4 (2:31) Oh, is that, that's what they said? It's like 20 grand? Speaker 2 (2:33) No, no, it's between 100K and 500K. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 4 (2:36) I mean, that's what I'm saying. Speaker 2 (2:37) I have some messages that I'm trying to figure it out. Speaker 4 (2:39) But I'm just saying. You would be so good. I would not be able to. My thing is when they get right in their face and are yelling at them, I would not. I get so. I laugh out of fear and nerves. No, I could lock in. Speaker 3 (2:56) Yeah, you'd be very serious. Yeah, I'd be very serious. I would not mess with those guys. On our two Speaker 4 (3:02) -hour FaceTime, I got to see Robbie and Tanya's pillows on the bed. These things are crazy. They're like a. A pod. They loop around the whole body and they're pink and blue. That's right. This is crazy. Speaker 4 (3:24) I was like, Robbie just like cuddled up. We need to poo. Speaker 2 (3:30) Oh no. Speaker 4 (3:32) Man, it was a visual. It does add a layer. It does add a layer. It adds a Speaker 3 (3:36) layer. But yeah, Speaker 4 (3:37) being woken up and having to, and then someone was snoring so loud in the room. I'm fine Speaker 3 (3:44) with all that, but also like the temperatures, like it's freezing, it's hot. You have to jump in these waters and then like. hike 20 miles like i'd get a uti within the first 24 hours so like you're all what are they excuse me i Speaker 2 (4:00) have Speaker 3 (4:00) to change my underwear uh staff yes i need my Speaker 4 (4:04) change of underwear i Speaker 3 (4:05) can't walk around for an hour with these soaking bottoms so uh staff may i please have permission to change my underwear you get Speaker 4 (4:10) medically withdrawn uti Speaker 2 (4:13) That's kept you from Love Island. That's kept you from reality experiences. Speaker 3 (4:17) Yeah, but you know where it's not keeping me from? Traders. Traders. On land. No wetness. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 4 (4:25) Okay. Speaker 2 (4:26) Traders. UTI season. I'll Speaker 3 (4:28) take Speaker 4 (4:28) UTI free. And you're funny with games. And even though you're not competitive maybe in the physical aspect, I do think with games you're very competitive. So Speaker 3 (4:37) do you know what I was thinking about? Because I've played the game Mafia, which is kind of like Traders. I wasn't even like the mafia. I was like a townspeople, something and everybody. No, I wasn't. I was like the detective or something. I was like trying to figure it out. But what me trying to figure it out is like acting weird. So I got killed right away because I was acting weird trying to find out who the mafia was. Well, Speaker 4 (5:00) I just need to see you try for one round table. That's all I need. I'd take one. Traders, I would do everything else. The UTIs. Also, when you watch Friends, do you relate to Monica? You're such Monica energy. But do you feel that when you watch the show? Speaker 3 (5:18) I don't particularly relate to her now. Speaker 4 (5:22) Interesting. Speaker 2 (5:24) Do Speaker 4 (5:24) y'all see that? You didn't watch Friends. Speaker 2 (5:26) I saw a lot of people bringing up Monica in the video from last week, but I don't know which one is Monica. Speaker 4 (5:33) Oh, my God. Courtney Cox. Speaker 2 (5:36) Oh, Courtney Cox. Speaker 4 (5:37) Yeah, yeah, yeah. Big Monica energy. You give Rachel energy. Thank you. I knew she was going to like that. I knew she was going to like that. Okay, so shall we get into our games that we so excitingly teased? Yes! First one's Speaker 3 (5:54) first, Mark. Don't say the same thing. Are you going to do that first? Yeah. Okay, Speaker 1 (5:59) sure. All right, we'll do that first. Here we go. Are you ready? Speaker 3 (6:02) Can you explain the game? Speaker 1 (6:03) Yes. I'm going to give you a category. I'm going to give you three seconds. At the end of three seconds, you blurt out something in that category. Okay. Speaker 3 (6:11) You Speaker 1 (6:11) cannot say the same thing. If you say the same thing, the game's over and you lose. If you can get through 10 of these, you win. Speaker 3 (6:17) Okay, but we're on the same team. Speaker 1 (6:19) You're on the same team. You win or you lose as one. Speaker 3 (6:21) Okay. Ready? Speaker 1 (6:22) Here we go. Pizza topping. Three, two, one. Anchovy. Speaker 3 (6:28) I knew she was going to say that.

Speaker 1 (7:10) Oh, my gosh. I definitely Speaker 3 (7:11) wouldn't have said Descendants. There's no Disney movies. I Speaker 2 (7:16) feel so lucky I get to see this live. And watching Tanya's scene, it's like you're trying to beam information into Becca's head with your eyes. Speaker 4 (7:23) I Speaker 2 (7:24) can Speaker 4 (7:24) feel it. It's intense. It's like lasers. This is what I think we Speaker 1 (7:30) should do. If I may. Speaker 4 (7:32) Okay. We're open to suggestions. Speaker 1 (7:35) Dear Banya, we have one great Dear Banya. Okay. Take a break. Family feud. Thoughts? Oh, yeah. How long of a break are we going to take? Speaker 4 (7:42) Before the break. Before the break. Yes. When is Grey's Anatomy coming back and are you watching? October 15th. Speaker 1 (7:48) Wow. Speaker 4 (7:49) I think. Speaker 1 (7:50) Becca, it's funny you say that. Yeah, Speaker 3 (7:52) yeah. Speaker 1 (7:52) Because just recently, I think I was laying in bed trying to sleep and thinking to myself, am I going to watch Grey's Anatomy this season? Because I don't know. Speaker 4 (8:01) October Speaker 3 (8:01) 15th, Speaker 4 (8:02) it's back. Speaker 1 (8:02) Very good, Tanya. That Speaker 4 (8:03) was a Speaker 1 (8:03) crazy Speaker 3 (8:04) poll for you. For somebody who Speaker 1 (8:04) doesn't watch, that was very impressive. A Speaker 4 (8:06) crazy poll for someone who hasn't watched in five years. Speaker 3 (8:08) I don't know. Speaker 1 (8:08) Because Speaker 4 (8:09) they were promoting it Speaker 3 (8:09) on Dancing with the Stars. I think Speaker 1 (8:12) right now I am more than 50 % not going to watch. I know, I know. I think I'm, last season was a slog. And life's too short for a slug. Speaker 3 (8:22) Life is too short for a slug. There's Speaker 1 (8:23) so many shows to watch. Yes. Speaker 3 (8:25) Many seasons of The Wild Island Speaker 4 (8:27) to be seen. But Speaker 3 (8:28) then I think I Speaker 1 (8:28) want to know what's happening with all these characters and all that stuff. But I don't know. We'll see. I just, Speaker 4 (8:33) like, when I go through the characters that are still there, do I care about any Speaker 1 (8:37) of them? Speaker 4 (8:37) Well, that's a good question, too. That's the big question. Although, Speaker 1 (8:39) Owen's gone. The coast is clear as far as that goes. Speaker 4 (8:43) That we know of. He could peak up in any moment. Speaker 1 (8:47) He could, yeah. Speaker 4 (8:48) They could be getting another divorce or something. Speaker 1 (8:50) Yeah. Speaker 4 (8:52) Okay, well. Let me tell you, it's great over here. Speaker 1 (8:55) Well, yeah, when you have Speaker 4 (8:56) barbecue bra competing with the grays. When you've got Speaker 3 (8:59) 60 seasons of chops, and I'm locked in each episode, like, please. 10 Speaker 2 (9:05) ,000 hours of Bobby Flay waiting for you. Speaker 4 (9:07) Yeah, when Bobby Flay's 14,000 seasons are on board. Speaker 3 (9:12) Do you want to know how sick we are? We are going to, Robby and I are going to go to the store. And I'm going to pick four. You don't know the premise of Chopped, but they basically open a box and there's four random ingredients in this box and they have to make something out of it. Speaker 1 (9:24) 60 Seasons. No, but Speaker 3 (9:25) this was my idea. I Speaker 4 (9:26) literally told Speaker 3 (9:27) you you should go Speaker 4 (9:28) shopping and you buy ingredients and he has to make something. Oh, yeah. So that's what I'm going to do. So Speaker 3 (9:32) I'm going to buy four random ingredients and he's not going to know what they are and then take them home and he's going to make something out of it. Yeah. Great Speaker 4 (9:40)
