Zoomer pod fan here (25), I am honestly flabbergasted that no one on survivor recognized Jon! Maybe I live in a little political bubble, but my friends and I love y'all!
He would be a huge threat for sure!! It would have been a lot of fun if they'd let him stay on though, dangerous but amazing for us fans. Good job going on Lovett, off the couch and onto Survivor that's a game changer!
I am a labor delivery nurse and I recently cared for a woman who needed a life saving D&C because she was hemorrhaging..aka bleeding out. I thankfully live in a non-abortion state but we need to talk OUT LOUD about this issue. Healthcare workers should not be criminalized for trying to save their patient's lives, especially from a man who will not take accountability for his own crimes. I am not a criminal. I took an oath when I became a healthcare worker and that oath included I would not put my patients and or community at harm. The overturning of Roe VS Wade, is asking me to ignore the oath I took. The federal government is asking healthcare workers in this country to put aside life saving interventions for their "fucked up" decision. Their are more than one patient in every pregnancy...the MOM and the baby. Can we please advocate for the health of mothers too.
Now I see why there was so much camera focus on Lovett in this Survivor episode. He would have added so much value to the season for the viewers with his humor and intelligent commentary. I think the producers knew that so they maximized his screen time in the only episode they could. I see why he was perceived as a threat but I was really looking forward to multiple episodes with Lovett.
As a 100% political junkie who never watches reality TV, I never would have thought that my favorite segment of the show would have been you guys discussing Lovett's turn on Survivor. Not only was it hilarious to watch, but it was also a great view into your friendship, which was heart warming. Laughing until you were all nearly crying, though, was a fun start to a Friday morning.
I too am a political junkie (finally caved and paid for a Nate Silver subscription…) But half the reason I watch Pod - is just parasocial endorphins from their model friendship group. True story.
I am SO grateful I do not have to watch a whole season of Survivor now. I would have- that is the depth of my love for Lovett. But THANKS LOVETT! It was fun while it lasted!
Survivor is my fav show! Didn't know Jon before this season, but I'm glad to have found him. Wish he went further, but it's still going to be a great season
I watched Survivor just because Jon was on it. I don't watch reality tv at all. Just wanted to say that the deep love and respect that these four men have for each other is so obvious. It's wonderful to see.
Oh man! I'm an Australian so I only read today that Lovatt was on Survivor.....and the news article was written like he was like the new Survivor Jesus....... so now you're saying he's out???
I haven't seen the episode yet but I enjoyed every minute of that Survivor discussion. You guys were clearly having the time of your lives and I'm here for it.
65 y.o. listener! I feel so much smarter listening to you guys. You reach my learning style in your knowledgeable calm and humor. Thanks for keeping us educated.🙂 And I apologize for Lindsey Graham. He’s an embarrassment to South Carolina; just not enough of us.😬
I’m 57 “. I watch TV news. I love 60 Minutes. I’m nostalgic for a time before the Internet ruined everything and I’m a regular pod save America listener, since the cash app days. Welcome to old
Why does he keep getting elected, though? Do the people of South Carolina not see what a two-faced POS he is? I can't be the only person who thinks that if he'd turn his back on his oldest friend, John McCain and completely change his personality and political views for power, that he'd also sell SC down the river, if given the right opportunity.
I really appreciate this Pod Cast for many reasons but especially for sharing your genuine selves and friendship; I smiled mostly at the end after the continuing bombardment of our upsidedown election news. Thank you so much!!
it's not that gen z doesn't listen to pod save, the problem is that the venn diagram of gen z who listen to pod save and gen z who go on reality tv shows are two separate circles.
Lovett experiencing the “oh, I’m the old person now” moment is so relatable. Also, being the only person old enough to have voted for (let alone worked for) Obama always reminds me of my age 😂
Jon was robbed!!!! Also am I the only person who bought a Paramount+ subscription to watch Jon?! So my high note is: thank you for a year of Drag Race!!
This was so much fun! This was my first episode of Survivor since Season 1! My parents (in their 90s) are regular Survivor fans and do not listen to podcasts but were rooting for you. We were all impressed by the wisdom you demonstrated on just being a kind and good human being. Your smart humor was fun to watch and probably a refreshing change. We were all sad you got voted off and Dad was particularly baffled why they kept a ticking time bomb (dad about Andy: Man...he needs therapy!).
In a game about strategy and stamina, they want some sitting ducks around for easy votes. I’m not sure Jon was seen as a necessary physical asset for the tribe, so they kept the younger person, knowing they could string Andy along as a loyal, easy vote and sacrifice him when the time comes to make deals. Or I’m overthinking it.
As someone living below the poverty line, I'd prefer she say regular Americans instead of the middle class. It would hit on both including more people, and in drawing a clear distinction between the wealthy and the rest of us.
I've heard her talking about "expanding" the middle class, which would mean giving people like you (us, for the record) more avenues to move into that bracket, so I don't mind her keeping the focus there.
Politicians always just talk about middle class, even Sanders. It's really frustrating that no one seems to care about those of us who are barely surviving.
I love that Tommy called Jon's tribe "Gen Z bozos." Jon was a cut (or more) above all of them. I give him credit for even trying to get along with the bozos.
These kinds of conversations contribute to that. Kamala Harris provides the answers everyone is looking for but pundits complain that she has to do more. Meanwhile, trump says people love me, they're eating dogs, and they say "oh that's just trump."
It's mostly grocery prices that are making folks cranky. She needs to do a whole presentation on the power of price-gouging suits. Here in WA our AG (and current gubernatorial candidate) Bob Ferguson successfully sued chicken and tuna producers for price-fixing and sent households a check for a hundred bucks or so. Explain how big producers collude to set prices illegally, how profits still remain unreasonably high even after the covid-era supply-chain issues eased, and how the threat of empowering the federal government to sue in the same manner as state AGs have for years (as in Elizabeth Warren's bill currently in the Senate) will have an immediate chilling effect on price-fixing and drive prices down as producers seek to avoid becoming a target. Antitrust action is a fundamentally free-market conservative economic practice to preserve competition and should be supported by everyone.
This is incorrect. As a recently former purchasing agent (buyer) for a large grocery store chain, grocery stores work off some of the lowest margins in any industry. Margins are razor-thin. In many cases making pennies on products. So no, grocery stores are not gouging you. Supposed grocery store price gouging has been a popular political talking point over the years. And to your statement that Kamala needs to do a whole presentation on this - the reason she and politicians before her haven't is because they know very well that grocery stores cannot lower prices in any significant way or they'd go under.
I haven't watched Survivor in years but I was willing to watch it for Lovett, thank you for not making me watch every episode! FYI, they will regret keeping Andy!
I have not watched Survivor in YEARS but was so excited to watch Lovett play I downloaded an app and watched this morning so excited!! Being voted off first is disappointing but SO relatable! I wouldn't even make it on the show so good for him! Loved being able to cheer him on and while a little sad we couldn't see more of his game play which I think would have been incredible.. also glad we don't have to wait months to find out the outcome esp during election season!

Actual facts: The US has the best economy in the world. Among many other real things, we set stock market records every day. We drill so much oil, we kept gas prices flat and kept Europe afloat with record production. People's perception: the economy is awful, and the guy who wrecked it should be in charge. There's economic inequality, so let's put they into power whose only plan is to make it worse

Nobody actually "needs to know more about her". That's a smokescreen for "I'm voting for Trump like my friends, but I don't want to have to explain myself or feel like I'm being irrational"
I hope it’s the opposite. “I know he’s a lunatic, but I don’t want the cult to know I’m voting for her.” Although, I thought the same thing in 2016, so its likely you’re right. 🤞
I think it's more like "I know he's a lunatic, but my identity is so wrapped up in being a Republican that I'm uncomfortable with voting for Kamala, and I hope she gives me a good excuse to do it". The polls show a decent chunk of people that are considering Harris but don't say they're going to vote for her. I suspect most of them will end up voting for her. But it's a long process of personal reflection.
@brandonm949 that's a big thing here in texas. I talk to so many women here that are left leaning politically. And they dont like trump. I will tell them, "you're a democrat! You're pro-choice and for gun laws! Vote democrat!" And it never fails, their response is, "but democrats are evil." Its exhausting how brainwashed people here are by the republican party. We used to be blue. I also used to be a republican. Then I stepped back and watched what was really going on. I also don't have a husband who is a diehard Trumper telling me who to vote for. Women here are very submissive. It's sad.
Agreed. Though, I think its more like "I know Trump is a lunatic. I know he'll bring a dystopia here. I know there will be chaos and the end of democracy. But I'm voting for him anyway, because I'm betting to be among the priviledged in the new reality." I am from eastern Europe, where we have a lot of experience with such challenges. And this is always the most prevalent mindset of supporters of those people.
Just like those "Thanos was right" people. They think they'd be the elite, high on the food chain or something. They think they'd be the slave owners, but likely would get crushed below the feet of the wealthiest few, like the rest of us.
Polls do not elect. People do. America needs your vote. Vote for decency, integrity, freedom and most of all democracy for our future generations 💙💪🇺🇸💯 💙!
Good discussion. I want to watch survivor for the first time. I thought it was so cute how Pundit comes out right when they are discussing lovett being voted off as if to comfort him.
He was really at a disadvantage given how young the rest of the tribe was. Andy set up Jon for failure during his emotional breakdown and then turned on him at the vote.
Enjoy the podcasts and was all set to watch the full season of Survivor but was suckered punched. Also prepared to buy all the merch too. My evening are back to other sofa activities.
The podcast I’ve been waiting for since Wednesday night! I thought Jon was by far the most interesting contestant, he was consistently funny. He came across as intelligent. And a good sport. Well done, Jon! I think they made an error they’ll soon come to regret. But oh well, you got to come home and I just regained my Wednesday nights! 😂
I like how you mention "huge spoiler" 41 minutes into the stream when the title on both YT and podcast already spoiled it.. Glad I watched last night! That was awesome by the way, lol
The 'what is it going to do for me' attitude really annoys me. How about, 'I'm happy that it will help someone, therefore helping the economy overall'?
I keep coming back to the end to watch the survivor stuff and I realized that even if we win in November and even if the trump show comes to an end, I'll still watch the Pod because I enjoy the chemistry between you four, so thanks for that.
Jon! I was so upset when you were kicked off. I was waaaaiiting to see you kick some serious butt on Survivor. Uggggghhhhhhh! For what it's worth, you made some hilarious commentary on the show while you were there. :)
I watched the pod before I watched the episode, then I went and watched the episode and had to come back to watch the recap again because it was much funnier with context. I do have to say that I think Lovett really undersold his background and skills by just saying he used to be a speechwriter and now has a podcast, I'd love to know if he told them in one of their conversations that didn't make the cut about who exactly he'd been a speechwriter for, because that definitely could have given them some more interest in keeping him around for strategy. I also thought he really used his speechwriter skills every time he was asked a question, and I loved it. I think I'm going to keep watching so I can find out what happens with Andy and the rest of the team. I also love that Lovett is the one that gave us the episode title!
I enjoyed Survivor years ago, but haven't watched in a decade. I was excited this season to see how Lovett would do and was surprised at how quickly I got sucked back into the show. Now I have to make the decision if I want to use my time watching the remainder of the season.
Gentlemen, i listened to this episode on my walk. Here I am watching so I can see all the smiles and laughs! You men are the best of friends and I love it.
Having only watched the 1st Survivor and being a Jon-fan, I was glued to the TV. Wow Jon, you acquitted yourself laudably-that maturity came in handy-can’t wait for those low-to-no-info Z’ers to realize who they voted off. Loved your acknowledgment at the end-that this will be a funny badge of honor for the next 10 yrs. Dude you Rocked!
I am so grateful John went out on the first episode of Survivor. I'm not a fan of the show and he saved me from wasting so much of my time. So thank you John.
Thank you so much for the end of this episode!! I watch, listen to and read entirely too much political content and have been really stressed and burnt out recently. That whole Survivor segment was exactly what I needed. It was totally worth it to get voted out first. Thank you, Jon!!
I love that we didn't have to wait long to know how Lovett did
I love that I didn't actually have to watch Survivor! I was planning on it and then found out he was already gone. Saved me a couple hours of time.
Me too

He had no tan. So he did not spend much time outdoors.

For those of us who were never going to watch it anyway, what was the wrong move he tried to make?
@@roberte03915He aligned himself with the loose cannon because he thought he needed allyship the most instead of going with who the group wanted to vote out.
@@ahoytherekaty Thanks
@@ahoytherekatyyeah he got worried when they brought his name up as the decoy and thought he was going to get blindsided.
From what he said on another podcast, they were already set on voting him anyways when that conversation happened... Which sounds plausible
😂You guys are just so fabulous 😅bless every one of you❤
The survivor segment made me just so so happy!!! Love you JON Lovett!!
I effing LOVE you guys! Good job Lovett! I wish everybody in the world had as supportive a group of friends/colleagues as you do!
I’m so proud of you Jon
Best episode of PSA EVER!!😂😂
The ball busting with deep love and affection was hilarious!! I love you guys so much. Best part of my day!
Emotional support dog staring intently at Lovett is the best part of the podcast
The 4 of you laughing is my week on a Friday 😂❤🔥
You guys are my favorite political source to get news from and I’ve learned a lot! I really hope the Harris/Walz campaign have you 4 as advisors. 💙
My favorite episode so far! I LOVE LOVETT! Especially now that I know he majored in Math!
Actual facts: The US has the best economy in the world. Among many other real things, we set stock market records every day. We drill so much oil, we kept gas prices flat and kept Europe afloat with record production.
People's perception: the economy is awful, and the guy who wrecked it should be in charge. There's economic inequality, so let's put they into power whose only plan is to make it worse
😮Why are we worrying about any of this stuff?! If Daffy Don was required to have a psychological evaluation as a prerequisite to being a member of the nuclear launch sequence team his candidacy would be over!😬All of that team are currently required to be evaluated EXCEPT the Commander-in-Chief!!! Hello? That is illegal and an existential threat to our nation. The Armed Services Committee must immediately meet next week to review the nuclear chain of command requirements and revise them to include the POTUS😮
It's just like this bizarre perception that California is a liberal scourge upon America filled with welfare queens and lazy immigrants leeching money from the government... when California is the single largest contributor to the US GDP, yet gets proportionately far less government funding compared to Red states, which ultimately contribute net negative amounts to the GDP.
It'd amazing how the Biden administration has been so bad at getting that point across.
The Daily anxiety I'm experiencing over this is draining. We HAVE to win this
Biden/Harris administration is censoring American citizens & locking up their political opponents. Wake up, already
Great episode. I always enjoy listening to you guys. I come away smarter and refreshed from your joy and laughter.
'Meet me at the Pondarosa, will be WILD' took me out 😂😂😂
Loved the survivour segment, thank you for the content, Jon Lovett!
Never watched Survivor before. Watched it because of Jon. Grateful now that I don't have to watch it anymore.
If he holds a rally in that poor community in Ohio, I fear he's going to escalate the situation.
Vivek is there......
That's the goal
"Undecided voters" in this election is truly the group of people I understand LEAST in this world (that is to say not at all and I never will)
Exactly, those people leaving under the rock???? Trump was already a president, so just remind them that.
As a big Survivor fan in addition to PSA prior to Jon’s appearance I was so happy to see this fun discussion
Yes, I've seen Jon on another podcast, and he was great. But it was much more fun to see him get roasted by his friends. ;)
Love you, Lovett!!! You were needed more here anyway!
I ran the Obama campaign in South Georgia his first time. None of the polls predicted the blowout that was.
The effect of new voter registration, not reflected in polls, may be the driver of the blowout.
They didn't call him "the GOAT." They called him an "Old Goat."
Not GOAT instead
BLOAT
That recap at the end was so entertaining and surprisingly beautiful. What great attitudes and a joyful perspective on the whole thing.
Speaking of price gouging, idk why she hasn’t talked about Kroger admitting it has been doing exactly that and that they are trying to merge with Albertsons, and that she will fight that sort of monopoliistic corruption
Does anyone else remember Katie Porter's whiteboard on inflation? Why aren't we seeing that clip more?
When Trump 's only policy positions are tariffs and deportation, why are the polls even close?
No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, No Tax on Social Security. Trump 2024!!!!

Funniest episode watching you all discuss Lovett on survivor
🎵Lovette did leave it!🎵

@@StephenHunts OP is just making word play based on the theme song of Lovett's other podcast, "Lovett or Leave It". (Sorry if you did know that, and are just that upset about reality TV. 😅 )
Thanks guys

I watched Lovett.. first time i watched survivor in 15 + years. I'm glad it's over.
Love & Respect Jon!
"A stupid person's idea of a smart plan" - Brilliant observation!
💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
Lovett is exactly the kind of contestant they will invite back for a second chance season.
Are you on your 8th or 9th booster?
I am hopeful. I want him to at least make it to jury duty for the full civil service / democratic experience 😂
@@emilyc8262 They will invite Trump next year. If he is not in prison already

@@toychristopher I learned Special K plans price-controls.
Nobody actually "needs to know more about her". That's a smokescreen for "I'm voting for Trump like my friends, but I don't want to have to explain myself or feel like I'm being irrational"
I hope it’s the opposite. “I know he’s a lunatic, but I don’t want the cult to know I’m voting for her.” Although, I thought the same thing in 2016, so its likely you’re right. 🤞
I think it's more like "I know he's a lunatic, but my identity is so wrapped up in being a Republican that I'm uncomfortable with voting for Kamala, and I hope she gives me a good excuse to do it".
The polls show a decent chunk of people that are considering Harris but don't say they're going to vote for her. I suspect most of them will end up voting for her. But it's a long process of personal reflection.
@brandonm949 that's a big thing here in texas. I talk to so many women here that are left leaning politically. And they dont like trump. I will tell them, "you're a democrat! You're pro-choice and for gun laws! Vote democrat!" And it never fails, their response is, "but democrats are evil." Its exhausting how brainwashed people here are by the republican party. We used to be blue. I also used to be a republican. Then I stepped back and watched what was really going on. I also don't have a husband who is a diehard Trumper telling me who to vote for. Women here are very submissive. It's sad.
Agreed. Though, I think its more like "I know Trump is a lunatic. I know he'll bring a dystopia here. I know there will be chaos and the end of democracy. But I'm voting for him anyway, because I'm betting to be among the priviledged in the new reality."
I am from eastern Europe, where we have a lot of experience with such challenges. And this is always the most prevalent mindset of supporters of those people.
Let's hope some of them will secretly vote Harris/Walz and still act maga(g) in front of their friends and boyfriends/husbands.
Jamaica in the house ..I love u guys u make my day🇯🇲🇯🇲 leave Lovett alone i lovve him
The funny thing about people saying that slavery should be a thing is that they don't volunteer to be a slave. They just say other people.
Just like those "Thanos was right" people. They think they'd be the elite, high on the food chain or something. They think they'd be the slave owners, but likely would get crushed below the feet of the wealthiest few, like the rest of us.
Everyone's laughter was the best. I was crying during the Survivor part of the segment 😂😂😂😂
Polls do not elect. People do. America needs your vote. Vote for decency, integrity, freedom and most of all democracy for our future generations 💙💪🇺🇸💯 💙!
Yes! Hillary Clinton was ahead in polls, won the popular vote, and still lost the election. People must vote!
Most fun I’ve had all week - thanks Jon!
Good discussion. I want to watch survivor for the first time. I thought it was so cute how Pundit comes out right when they are discussing lovett being voted off as if to comfort him.
I think only reason Lovett voted off was bad luck after being kind to another contestant who was having a hard time.
He was really at a disadvantage given how young the rest of the tribe was. Andy set up Jon for failure during his emotional breakdown and then turned on him at the vote.
Enjoy the podcasts and was all set to watch the full season of Survivor but was suckered punched. Also prepared to buy all the merch too. My evening are back to other sofa activities.

Literally cried when I saw Jon 😭😭😭
The lads enjoyed this more than I thought they would.
Jon, I was rooting for you
The podcast I’ve been waiting for since Wednesday night! I thought Jon was by far the most interesting contestant, he was consistently funny. He came across as intelligent. And a good sport. Well done, Jon! I think they made an error they’ll soon come to regret. But oh well, you got to come home and I just regained my Wednesday nights! 😂
I like how you mention "huge spoiler" 41 minutes into the stream when the title on both YT and podcast already spoiled it.. Glad I watched last night! That was awesome by the way, lol
The 'what is it going to do for me' attitude really annoys me. How about, 'I'm happy that it will help someone, therefore helping the economy overall'?
Talking about Kamala Harris doing media, I just watched her Wired Autocomplete Interview on TH-cam and she was great!
I keep coming back to the end to watch the survivor stuff and I realized that even if we win in November and even if the trump show comes to an end, I'll still watch the Pod because I enjoy the chemistry between you four, so thanks for that.
Jon! I was so upset when you were kicked off. I was waaaaiiting to see you kick some serious butt on Survivor. Uggggghhhhhhh! For what it's worth, you made some hilarious commentary on the show while you were there. :)
I hope they put you on the show again!!!!! Jeff! Make it happen! OR maybe you should go on Traitors, Jon!
I watched the pod before I watched the episode, then I went and watched the episode and had to come back to watch the recap again because it was much funnier with context. I do have to say that I think Lovett really undersold his background and skills by just saying he used to be a speechwriter and now has a podcast, I'd love to know if he told them in one of their conversations that didn't make the cut about who exactly he'd been a speechwriter for, because that definitely could have given them some more interest in keeping him around for strategy. I also thought he really used his speechwriter skills every time he was asked a question, and I loved it. I think I'm going to keep watching so I can find out what happens with Andy and the rest of the team. I also love that Lovett is the one that gave us the episode title!
as a comedian, getting voted off first is the funniest thing he could have done. he really committed to the bit, love it (lovett)
I could watch these 3 talk about Jon on Survivor for hours.
It's okay Jon Lovett. We would really have missed you and your humor and charm 😉😉😉😉
I enjoyed Survivor years ago, but haven't watched in a decade. I was excited this season to see how Lovett would do and was surprised at how quickly I got sucked back into the show. Now I have to make the decision if I want to use my time watching the remainder of the season.
There is literally a FTC meeting with corporations admitting price gouging that she should be highlighting as a talking point evidence.
☝️THIS☝️
Gentlemen, i listened to this episode on my walk. Here I am watching so I can see all the smiles and laughs! You men are the best of friends and I love it.
OMG been waiting for the Lovett debrief 🤣💙💙💙
The Nebraska stuff is scary. I’m really worried about all the stuff they’ve been doing like that and worse behind the scenes.
We need Pennsylvania and I'm praying that they do the right thing.
"Meet me at Ponderosa, will be wild" was pure comedic gold!! 😂😂😂 I legit spit out my drink - PERFECTION!! 👨🍳🤌💋
Jon was great. He should not have been voted off.
I thoroughly enjoyed the way the four of you interact. You made me smile… an awesome occurrence in this crazy political space.
Having only watched the 1st Survivor and being a Jon-fan, I was glued to the TV. Wow Jon, you acquitted yourself laudably-that maturity came in handy-can’t wait for those low-to-no-info Z’ers to realize who they voted off. Loved your acknowledgment at the end-that this will be a funny badge of honor for the next 10 yrs. Dude you Rocked!
I am so grateful John went out on the first episode of Survivor. I'm not a fan of the show and he saved me from wasting so much of my time. So thank you John.
I live outside of Pittsburgh in a rural area and I'm voting Harris/Walz.
Thank you so much for the end of this episode!! I watch, listen to and read entirely too much political content and have been really stressed and burnt out recently. That whole Survivor segment was exactly what I needed. It was totally worth it to get voted out first. Thank you, Jon!!
