  • Hard to listen

    This is my first time to listen. Tuned in for the ep about Coach and Chrissy being voted off. Rob is great but the other guy’s mic was a lot louder than Rob’s and he talks so incredibly fast, it was hard to listen to him. If I could’ve turned him down it might’ve been okay but then I couldn’t really hear Rob very well. I did not enjoy the podcast as much as I think I could’ve just for those issues…content was good, it just hurt my ears. Sorry.

  • Why David Bloomberg Ruins the Podcast

    I’ve been a longtime listener of Rob Has a Podcast, but David Bloomberg has made it unbearable for quite some time. Jessica is measured and balanced, but David constantly rants about hatred, his ex-coworkers, personal grievances, and anything he dislikes. He doubles down on opinions, frames them as hot takes, and frequently roasts players, creating a toxic, unpleasant vibe. He honestly sounds unhappy, and that hostility is exhausting.

    He used to be better when co-hosting with Rob Cesternino, wh... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Survivor 50 Ep 9 Exit Interview
Q: Were you surprised Aubrey wanted to switch gears and align with Jonathan?
Not personally offended, it's a natural part of vote consolidation once a vote is mobilized; there were signs Aubrey was flipping that should have been read
Survivor 50 Ep 9 Exit Interview
Q: How much do you blame the one vote against you for getting voted out?
It was a factor and likely a deciding factor, but I wasn't in on all conversations, so I can't say with certainty how much influence it had.
Andy Rueda Talks Survivor 50
Q: Do you think the fake idol actually benefited Ceri the most by creating plausible deniability for others?
Andy notes that Ceri could leverage plausible deniability to smooth over accusations, making it easier to navigate damage control, while also acknowledging that the fake idol may have helped multiple players depending on how the votes shifted.
Andy Rueda Talks Survivor 50
Q: Andy, who would you have aligned with and who would you have worked with this time considering all the huge threats on Survivor 50?
Andy says Genevieve would be an ideal ally, citing their history and potential to work well together; he also mentions Chrissy as a strong possible partner based on his gut, and emphasizes being open to pregame vibes rather than locking in a rigid plan.
Candiace Dillard Bassett- The Traitors SHEmix
Q: Candace, how did you prep for going to The Traitors?
She watched the earlier seasons to study the game, focused on fashion and presentation, and sought insights from others familiar with the show, balancing preparation with staying true to her own energy.
