Trisha Paytas
But what do you mean? We were like Moses at the time where the night before, we have a laptop, we have two phones.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
You were fat. Maybe you still. You could have maybe gotten away with this little antic. But being fat, I think I was kind of. If you want to be messy like that, you can't be skinny. Like, your gesture privilege is gone.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
That was. My whole thing was like, why be boring? I told production after I got murdered, I was like, don't cast boring people again. Her name is trish. Hello.
Trisha Paytas
Love is in the air. It is just Trish. And it's almost Valentine's Day. My favorite holiday because it's just love and pink and everything. It's also Wuthering Heights open weekend. We're so excited for that. We're so excited. We're just. Love is just overwhelming all of us so much that we got an iced banana bread matcha, and we have Jam Jam coming today. Such a surprise. Such. Well, such a surprise. I. I'll, like, let you know how it all happened. I'm so excited. Like, you know, you, like, put feelers out. I'm always sending DMS people and, like, never hear back. And I. And we talk about all the time, like, scared to open a dm. So, like, I. I just didn't assume I'd never hear back. And then I went to go look, and I was like, he's like, oh, I'm in la. I was like, oh, my gosh. It, like, worked out perfectly. Jam Jam. I'm so excited. Jam Jam, leave the castle. I'm so excited.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I said that to Jam.
Trisha Paytas
Yes, I did like this. I was like, I just actually didn't say that to him. I was just like, you have such an iconic exit. And he literally responded in text. It's Lisa, all capital. I was like, we landed him, huh?
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
When it's time to end the podcast, we'll just drag him out.
Trisha Paytas
What was the. What was the phrase? We had to look it up. What he said? He said something like, she kissed me. She kissed me. No, but what did Alan Cumming say to Jam Jam to leave the castle?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Oh, he said he had such a good one.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
I'll find it.
Trisha Paytas
He's like, it's you. Jam Jam. Like, something like crazy. Anyways. Oh, yeah, we're gonna look it up.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Take him away, guys.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Take him away.
Trisha Paytas
I love that you Jam Jam. I love it. I'm so excited he's coming later today. Again, this was all literally, like, last minute. We're at the indoor playground with our kids. I'm like, trying. I'm like, texting. I'm trying to figure all this. I'm like, how do we get this to work? Can we do it the next day? Can we air the next day? Because we film these on Wednesdays, air on Thursdays. And I. I just know this is like, he's a current. Well, he was a current cast member. He obviously. Spoiler it was eliminated, like, a couple weeks ago. But iconic in every way. I. I researched. I did my lore well. You watch Survivor, so, you know.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah, I loved his.
Trisha Paytas
He's like the winner.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I'm gagged. Yeah, I'm even more gagged. I was like, wow, beat Carolyn. Yeah, I was. I was going deep into it. And I'm so excited he'll be coming here later in the episode. I'm so excited. I, like, so excited. Also, before we get started, vote for me for your favorite Broadway debut at iHeartRadio Awards. I feel like I'm feeling good about it. I don't want to get too ahead of myself. I'm feeling good about it. I will be in May, if you are in the Southern California area. I'll be at Netflix as a joke Comedy Festival on May 5th at the Wiltern at 9:45pm With a Netflix channel. And then also I'll be in INDIO, CA, Saturday, May 9, at the Fantasy Springs Casino. Just me and a piano and a little cabaret night. And I think I'm gonna be debuting my new song there, which I have been learning Korean for, but that's a whole other thing. And I'm very excited to show. I'm. Oh, I was in it yesterday. I did like an eight hour session and, like, I was so in it. And my singing instructor and my dialect coach was like, you're actually 90% there.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Wow.
Trisha Paytas
Which is good.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah, he's like, the only way to.
Trisha Paytas
Get 100% is, like, if you, like, go to Korea and, like, start speaking, which I might like. I'm really preparing, y'. All. I'm preparing for Trish Live in Korea this year. Like, I really, really feel it coming. So with or without Benson Boon, really, I'm there. And. And we're excited.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Okay.
Trisha Paytas
What else? Oh, that's it. Oh, we're just as. We're just as Wuthering Heights Day. This is. We have been going. If I feel a little. I this. We're getting a second Matcha coming. But I had a Matcha this morning. I'm really to Matcha right now. I've been having a lot of Matcha Lante give the banana bread one day. I'm so excited to hear your reaction to it. But we have been going. Let's see, I came home from the cruise shirt at like 9pm last night. And then today I had to get up at like 5am because we had started shooting at 6am because we had lots of setups. We had Dripdom out there doing different sets. We had the red floor. We had the poster with the tree in the background. Then we had the pink door and the tick tocks in between. Headshots of the month. Speaking of headshots of the month. Oh, that's it. Patreon.com Just Trish. Okay, so a lot of people are asking, the no Hate photos turned out amazing. Which, by the way, the no Hate campaign. Okay, we'll talk about that in a minute. But no Hate photos, which we wanted to do because it's, it's, you know, they were doing it for originally for the Proposition A saying no hate, like, raising money for that. So we're like, okay, we wanted to raise money. We're donating to the mbjc, the National Black Justice Coalition. And that money, we already did our $5,000 donation. But all the money for the February headshot tier will also be donated to the mbjc. And people are asking when those come. So the cutoff for this was February 10th. For this month's headshot, this headshot and those photos will be included in. It's called the February headshot. They ship out on March 15th. You have to sign up by March 10th. So now through March 10th, you have until sign up. You'll get the no Hate photo in there with the headshot. And then all that money from that tier for February will be donated to the magc. So, like, confusing, I know, but like, we got it. We got it. And if you want to do a smaller donation, we'll always put their link down below if you guys would like it, to donate as well. Because again, just logistically, my sister just having to ship out everything. We're. We're a three, three woman team over here when it comes to shipping and receiving. So just there it is. And we're super excited. They turned out really good. Everyone looked really good. And then no Hate reached out like, hey, we're still here. Actually. They were like, nice about it, but they were like, we're actually still here. So I don't know. And they do photo shoots and they were like, willing to come out here. They're like, well, we'll do your photo shoot. I was like, all right, work. So we might be doing another note. Yeah. I don't know what it's for. I have to ask. I mean, I don't care. I should care. I should care what it's for. That'd be crazy if it was, like, some weird, like, homophobic thing or something. But, yeah, I guess they also, like, anybody can do no hate shoots. I guess they do photo shoots in different cities and you can, like, sign up for it. So, like, San Francisco, we're here. Come do your no hate. I love it. I love that they're still going, I hear. I thought it was, like, 20 years old, but they're like, no, we're here.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
It is. But they're keeping it alive. Yes. And you know what? Keep the hate at bay. So. Yeah. Yeah, we need them still.
Trisha Paytas
You look very professional today. I don't know if I've ever seen you so pro.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
You say that every time I wear a button up, to be honest.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, is that what it is? Yeah. You never wear a button up, do you? You look. Wait, where'd you wear this before you wore a button up?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
This is the one at Uniqlo. I got in, like, eight different colors, so I've worn variations of the same one every week for the past couple.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
You look like a director slash producer for National Geographic.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I'll take that.
Trisha Paytas
I was going to say, like, Steven Spielberg on the set of, like, Jurassic park or something.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I'll take either.
Trisha Paytas
You look. But also. Yeah, you also look like you're down for business today. You have the ring you have. That's like. I like it.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Oh, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I like when you wear jewelry, too.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
This is our Tinder X Ian Charms PR package. I've been getting the PR packages lately, and I'm, like, kind of living.
Trisha Paytas
Wait, I love that you had a Tinder one.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah. I think they sent it to you, too. And it's like. It was like little capsules, and each little capsule was like, wear this on, like, a bad date or something. And yeah, this one just says, love him. It's a ring that says love them. And then if you flip it around, it says, like, leave them or something.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, is Ian charm.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Yeah, he got in the past.
Trisha Paytas
You got Ian charms in the past? Oh, maybe that's why we're. Okay, so. Oh, they did a collab with Tinder.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I know.
Trisha Paytas
I really love that.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Yeah, we got the capsule. We kept it for that loveline.
Trisha Paytas
We thought we didn't know because. Yeah, that loveline, shout out, get sponsored by Tinder. Not this One. But that's fine. We can. It's. We love their gender. Ad reads are great. It's like one. Oh, it's a double date. That's what we're promoting because they have now have a double dating feature. We're not. We're not promoting it here. But I'm just saying that makes more sense because it's like, go on a date with your friend. Which is kind of cool. Love that. Yeah, we do have the capsule. Yeah, we didn't know. We're like, maybe I'm supposed to show this. Or not. Anyways. Okay. Ian charms.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Are we sponsored by beverage?
Trisha Paytas
We're not.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Okay, great. Red Bull sent me, like, randomly. Just like, he heard, you need some energy, mama. And I was like, oh, yeah?
Trisha Paytas
How much did they send you?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
A lot. There was a lot in that package. And also some vodka. I was like, whoa. Yeah.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
I didn't know you can get alcohol.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I didn't know they said, I know love. So I do have wings today. I have.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. You know, it won't stop sending us stuff, cuz, you know all those boxes downstairs, Y was like, there's just so many boxes Again. Five of those were liquid death.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
I never say it that way.
Trisha Paytas
You do you. When my dad was here, he's like, well, is there ever a day you don't get boxes? Never. Sometimes multiple times a day.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
I was like, okay, that's not how I talk. That's never how I talk.
Trisha Paytas
That's the bias. That's the energy.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
That's how it gets filtered through her ears.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
I just saw a meme of, like, somebody talking about her husband. She's like, over time, I found out that everything he said was true, but I still don't like his tone.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, that part. My Moses definitely does have sometimes a tone. There's no bad things to say about Moses. Truly, I really do think you're perfect. Sometimes the tone, not with me, but just in general.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Well, first of all, the delivery. But whenever I heard that word, it's just.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. Kind of just like her.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
I literally said, because you came home from. From the studio and it was about to start raining. I wanted to know. To go and get the boxes. So just like, there was a lot of boxes downstairs.
Trisha Paytas
I was like, I already got them in my car.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
That's how it was. That was the tone.
Trisha Paytas
You know what? You were in such a good mood, cuz. Okay. I always try to get home by seven. I was like, I need to get home by seven. And I was on track to get home by seven. I didn't get home till like 8:00 clock and I, I was, I was like waiting most be like where were you? Because sometimes you're like, where were you? No, where were you? And you saw the Capital Girl bag in my hand. And I was like, oh, I got caught. Capital Girl takes 45 minutes for takeout when you place the order. And then I went in there thinking might be done early. Look, one person was very nice. One person was not so nice. One person's just like, that's the pickup time. Take it or leave it. And I was like, well I already prepaid so I'm gonna wait. But like should I wait here? I'm in shorts and like a T shirt and it's like 8 o' clock at night. So it's like the fancy dining hour. And I'm double park shop for the valet at Capitol Girl. They're like, you can just park it here. And I'm like oh my God, thank you so much. Because the parking is like down. It's like a whole thing. And I was like, well I prepaid it. So I'm like well do you want to wait in the waiting area? And I was like, cause I had the shorts on. I was like, well I'll just like wait in the car, like if that's what you want to do. I was like okay. But then the guy who brought it out and he seemed, I don't know, they're all, they were fine. She was fine. I think she was just like probably annoyed that I was. I wasn't even annoyed at. Anyways, whatever. I had to get home, right? And I was like, the fact that it was a 45 minute wait for food. I was like, I was like okay. And I was just like. But I brought home, you know what the girls loved that steak. We ate that filet me, Elvis and Malibu. We chowed on that fillet. It was so good.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
No, cuz I texted you and I said cuz I was trying to gauge when you're going to be home, then if we'll have dinner together or cuz Elvis. But then you order, pick up something for Malibu. Cuz I'm making food for Elvis right now.
Trisha Paytas
You're making food?
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
I figured out you're going to go there, you're going to get food.
Trisha Paytas
We should have planned it more ahead of time though.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Going to be. It's going to.
Trisha Paytas
Before I left the studio. We should have planned it that way. I could have like planned to play. Anyways, it was fine. It worked out. Moses didn't care was the point of the story. He didn't care.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
No, I knew exactly what.
Trisha Paytas
And in fact, the opposite. He's like, you better sit down before it gets cold. And I was like, okay, because I got to get my water and wash my hands and all that stuff like that. And it was. It was a key. I was good. Anyways, I was complimenting you. I don't know. That sounded like more like a fight.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
It was a roundabout way on the Valentine's episode to discuss every squabble.
Trisha Paytas
Happy Valentine's Day. What are plans? We did our Valentine's Day. Honestly, the only gift I ever want for Valentine's Day is to do photo shoots. And I loved it. I lived my fantasy. It was everything.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
No, I lived my fantasy. You were singing Kate Bush to me this morning.
Trisha Paytas
I learned those lyrics.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Wow, that's impressive.
Trisha Paytas
He's like, can you learn these? And now I know. Welcome to. Welcome to. Welcome to the Heights. Heathcliff. It's me. I'm Kathy. Come home tonight to me. It's cold when I look through your window.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Let me in here.
Trisha Paytas
Let me in your window.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yes.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Okay. We'll see the TikTok on Valentine's Day.
Trisha Paytas
Keep bushing. Yes, on Valentine's Day. I look for that reveal in two days. What do you drink for Valentine's Day?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Great question. Possibly San Francisco, although it has not been booked, so maybe not. If not, then probably the Cheesecake Factory.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
And.
Trisha Paytas
And yes, I love. Okay. Not to go back to that fight we just had, but I'm ordering this, and it's a place I don't like. He's like, if you want, you can order Cheesecake Factory. I was like, that's what I was like. Not. No, babe, you don't know me. Not Cheesecake Factory. And I was already close to the area. I was like, I'm getting capital. It was a little 20 minutes out of my way, but it was whatever. But when he said cheesecake factor, that was crazy. We love Cheesecake factor, but not love it. I don't love it.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
No, not that. I was just thinking about the kids, trying to figure out they were me.
Trisha Paytas
Well, then you should have told me. That would have postmated them the Cheesecake Factory. I didn't know that's what you were thinking. I thought you meant for me. I thought you're like, maybe you get.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Cheesecake Factory because sometimes you order, and by the time you get home, it gets here.
Trisha Paytas
I should have probably done that. I should have ordered even from Mastro's. The steak probably would have Been the same. I don't know, honestly. Whatever. Anyway, sorry not to go back. Cheesecake Factory is a great place to have Valentine's Day, though.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Oh, yeah.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Thank you.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I don't love the Cheesecake Factory. Like, yeah, obviously I'd want capital grill mastros. Like, but, you know, I don't love the Cheesecake Factory, but good for you for Cheesecake Factory. That's a great Valentine's Day work.
Trisha Paytas
It is. There's crispy cheeses are really good. The crispy cheese, the factory nachos. I only get in person tenders.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Orange chicken for you.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah. Although you did influence me to get chicken tender. There's last time.
Trisha Paytas
Did you get them?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Are they good?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Amazing.
Trisha Paytas
They're really good there. They're really good. That's actually like my go to too right now.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Amazing. Okay. Well done. And done.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I did see you had a little debacle with the caviar nuggets, though.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Not just us, the whole world.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
That's true. Well, I. I literally just opened my Twitter and I just saw, like, the onslaught of, like, mind you, this was the time, like, Ariana tickets are going on sale. Like, Noah Kahan tickets are going on sale. Zayn tickets. So I'm seeing every single Stan, like, complain about, like, waiting in line and purchasing. And then you being like, what's going on? It's not loading. And I'm like, is she trying to get Ariana tickets or something? And then I get to the bottom of, like, the tweet storm, and then I see the McDonald's caviar is like.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, that's some bull. I'm just going to say it. That's bull. We love you, McDonald's. We love you, McDonald's. That's why we're doing this. But what do you mean? We were like Moses at the time or the night before. We have a laptop. We have two phones. We're like, like, yeah, like, we were. There's just no way, like, it refreshed for us, actually. We were like, sitting there waiting for it, and then it refreshed for us. And then I was able to click on get your form. And then it just took us to that white blank page. I was screen recording it because I like refreshing it. One of us was refreshing it. One of us was staying on it. The computer was staying on it. Like, and then we finally, like, 802. It's like, we're sold out. I was like, are you. Are you like, I would love one person on your TikTok was like, I got It. I would love to see.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Well, basically what I found out is that they had only 750 units, so. 750. And imagine how many thousands of people were standing in line waiting. So it's like the chance we have more chance winning the lottery.
Trisha Paytas
I kind of. I see. So you're saying. Maybe. Love that, though we do have a lottery ticket for tonight. I. I get that. But, like, are you just saying there's so many people on at the same time as us? Some people got through and some people didn't.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Is that what some people get through? It crashed on others. And then also, some people were using bots, so. So they have a faster. I don't know, like, they get there faster or they do something that they do.
Trisha Paytas
I feel like that should be illegal. Like, I don't understand.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
What do you mean? That's what happened. Tickets to shows and everything else. And we weren't like. It wasn't. I didn't even know. I think about it as being free. I was just like, okay, we're gonna be in line. We're gonna buy it, or whatever we need to do to purchase it. Like, that wasn't the goal is to get something for free. It was more about the fact that this kit that we're making together, if we could buy the kit, we would have bought it. You know, it's not.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, they should do that, too.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
It wasn't even about that, because some people in the. You know, some people are like, well, why you. You don't need free caviar and. No, we don't. It's more about.
Trisha Paytas
We'll take the.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
No, I'm saying, like, it's more about. Like you said, you're the chicken nuggets, I'm the caviar.
Trisha Paytas
I really wanted it for you.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
We were doing it together, and that's what it was about. But, yeah, we can do it by ourselves. We can get caviar. We can get.
Trisha Paytas
I know, but it's not the McDonald's packaging. And shut up, McDonald's. We're doing it for free. Because we were talking about how, like, it is, like, a little, like, in this economy, like, who was it? Jaclyn Hill did the caviar? They're not getting. Everyone's like, all right, Jacqueline, in this economy. Right? Like, who and who. Honestly, who cares? Whatever Thing goes back and forth. Yes. Like, it is a little excess, excessive, whatever. But I do love that McDonald's was giving away them for free. That was great. But they should have had an option once the free was sold. Out to be like, here, buy it. Because I think I bought it. I think Pringles did a caviar collab in the past. I think I bought it even before we were on this caviar kit. I hate caviar. Just for the record. I was trying to get it for my fans over there. That was my Valentine's Day present, was to be like, look what I got you. McDonald's caviar. And people got those PR packages. People Snackolator got the PR package. Like, they were getting those PR packages. We didn't. We didn't get the free caviar. I don't know. We were trying. I guess my. My outrage was probably a little misplaced because there are people dying in this world.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I think it's okay to get upset at an inconvenience, for sure. Like, yeah, I mean, people are dying.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
To eat caviar, and you like crazy. But I mean, all upset. The thing is that it's not the caviar company's fault because obviously it's an expensive product for them. They can't just give it for free. So McDonald's. McDonald's fault needs to be buying a few thousands of those because it's tiny little, you know, things of caviar. It's not even.
Trisha Paytas
McDonald's is notorious for not buying enough.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Stuff because it's, like, publicity they get for it is insane to the amount of money they actually spent on it. But now it's a backlash because people are like, f you. Like, people were upset. Like, this was a horrible campaign. It left 750 people are happy, but thousands of people there are just upset completely. And they're like, never again have you.
Trisha Paytas
I guess, like, what are you gonna do, though? Like, you really can't give free to everybody. They should, though. McDonald's doesn't have money to get free caviar. I feel like if you purchase McDonald's in, like, 2026 and you have, like, a receipt, you should, like, be able to go in and get, like, free caviar. You know, like you said, it's like tiny little McDonald's could afford that for everyone who bought McDonald's, right? Can you imagine all the people that bought McDonald's? I mean, I'm sure they would make billions of dollars off of people who bought McDonald's in the past month. You know, I know how much I spent on McDonald's. I spent a lot.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
It's just the campaign company, whoever made the campaign made a horrible campaign. It just was the wrong way to do it.
Trisha Paytas
But I Guess the exclusivity is like the popcorn buckets. It's like, ooh. The exclusivity of it drives it.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Ultimately a great campaign because, like you said, everyone's talking about it.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
So someone did that in a negative light, though.
Trisha Paytas
Well, is it that serious? I mean, we're upset, but are we, like, upset?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
You might feature new merch. I'm annoyed, but I'll get over it. That was probably my favorite tweet. Even Pop Flop tweeted that.
Trisha Paytas
Pop flop. Is that a new. Is that a fake one?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Did you start it?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
No, I wasn't popped. Shared Trisha Paytas and new tweet. I'm annoyed, but I'll get over it.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Honestly.
Trisha Paytas
Life motto.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
That is the tea.
Trisha Paytas
That is what it was. And I think that's everybody. Right? Because it is. Yeah. I don't want people to think I'm, like, really pissed about it, but I was in the moment. And like you just said, it's okay to be. It's okay. That's a good. That's a good way to be. It's okay to be annoyed. Even if there are people dying. Like, it's okay to be annoyed.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Inconveniences. Yeah. As long as you don't, like, do something drastic about it, you know, talking to you.
Trisha Paytas
Real Housewife of New York, whoever just got fired.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Oh, Joe's. Aaron. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Thank you so much to Kickoff for sponsoring today's episode of Just Trick. What would you do if you had an extra $2,000 laying around? Well, I recreated a cosplay today. Maybe you wanted to go to Greece, find out you have three dads and have the summer of a lifetime. Well, if you had better credit, you could do it. If you had better credit, you could finance a car, get a home. There's so many things to do when you have better credit. And Kickoff is here to help you get better credit. Today, getting your credit over 600 points could have saved you $2,000 in interest. That's where Kickoff, the number one credit building app in the App Store, comes in. Kickoff helps you build credit easily and affordably, with plans starting at just five dol a month, no credit check, and no hidden fees. Personally, in my 20s, my credit tanked sometimes because I didn't have the money to pay it, and sometimes I did have the money and I just forgot. Before those automatic payments were set up, I had to send in a check and I would just simply forget. And, boy, did that tank my credit. Well, when my credit got better in my late 30s, I was able to make adult purchases like a home, like car, and not those crazy interest rates. Because sometimes when you have that bad credit and you get a loan, you get those crazy interest rates. So a $5,000 loan could end up being $50,000. That happened to me at one point. Yes, that's a true story. All because my credit was low. Kickoff is easy to sign up and there are real results for a real users. Users with credit under 600 grew an average of 25 points in their first month with on time payments. With transparent affordable plans Starting at just $5 a month, no hidden fees and zero interest, Kickoff helps you score big when it comes to credit. It's simple. You make on time payments. Credit bureau see good behavior and your credit can grow fast with the premium or ultimate plan. The rent reporting feature helps you build credit with the rent you already pay. Plus plus only positive on time payments get reported to help boost your credit. Heck yeah. Kickoff. That's what everyone should be doing. Let's just show the good stuff. That's what we need more in the world. We need to see the good stuff when we pay on time. Start building credit immediately for only $1 for your first month.

It's like you don't need to be like, you don't need to be annoyed over it. You know what I mean? You don't need to be annoyed over any of that. That you just said. I watched it today. I watched it this morning. I was like Because I was like, damn, she got fired. I was like, what'd she say? I was like, you just sound dumb. People being annoyed by just other people. Like, existing and enjoying entertainment is actually so crazy. Or like, that someone speaks a different. Like, it's so. That was crazy. Honestly, I was crazy. And that I do deserve the firing because mostly I'm like, oh, is it crazy to, like, fire someone? Opinion. But it's crazy when you're dumb and ignorant. Stupid.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah. I think if you use your platform to be racist about a Latin singer singing in Spanish, you have a common. Yeah, for sure.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. There's no flex to English speaking Only. It's so weird to be like, no white people. I don't know. All of it was weird.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
It was weird. Yeah, Weird. And it was a Real Housewife. Joe Zarin. She was originally from Real Housewives of New York, and she has been off the show for a long time and she's been vying to get a spot back on the show. And it was like a Real Housewives spin off on the E. Network. And like, she was the thirstiest one to get it out of everyone. And then she got it. Oh, and then before even filming gets.
Trisha Paytas
Fired, it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you're also just the stuff she said when she was, like, gaga. Like, her face looks unrecognizable. Meanwhile, she looks like Cat lady over there. And I was like, girl, let's look at your face. Okay. That was great. Like, that is just, like, such a crazy thing to say. Like, all of it was so crazy. I had no idea who she was.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Was.
Trisha Paytas
Don't care. No, she was. I'm not gonna get anything anymore, ever. Because also, just that face, you know, everything about it was crazy and weird. I hated it. I hate her. That's why I don't like Housewives. I feel like they just. There's a little. Is that a little too much?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. Real Housewives.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Are built.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
There's so many of them that are great.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Who?
Trisha Paytas
Name one.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Countess Luann.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Yeah, I mean, the one that was just the Traders.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
The.
Trisha Paytas
I like Phaedra on Traders last season.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
I'm saying, like, there's so many housewives. Some of them might be on this couch at some point and.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Sofa.
Trisha Paytas
Right. Well, Lisa Renner doesn't consider herself a housewife interested. Someone asked her, would you be in a. A Trader's just full of housewives? Like, no, get me away from those women. So she would agree with me, too, that maybe they're a little dubious Send.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Off on the show was a little nuts.
Trisha Paytas
Lisa Rennes.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
What was it again? Bad Nuts good or nuts bad?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I mean, it was just dramatic. Not, like, super problematic or anything. She just was falling out with everybody towards the end.
Trisha Paytas
I would do that, too.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Because you're probably so heated. Well, as Jam Jam, but you're probably so heated in that mo. I did love Jam Jam's exit because it was so camp. It was just like, it's Lisa. I would do that too, for sure. Even if it's against the world. Who cares? Who cares? I'm feeling like it's against the world. Who cares? It's traitors. Like, oh, my God. People get so mad at it. It's like, just. I probably would be the worst trader, actually, because I probably would just, like, expose or faithful or anybody. I probably would expose everyone as I left and I actually this person. You know what I mean? Like, I'm a traitor, but so is. You know, just think about my votes. I don't know. All right. I take back what I said about the housewives, but some of them seem to be kind of dubious.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I mean, some, yes. But there's a lot of great ones, too. Like, Candace is. Was the one of the traitors that everyone loves.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, yeah. Yeah. She was good. Yeah.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
There's some great ones.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
And you have to remember some of those shows are scripted to some degree or hyper.
Trisha Paytas
Well, not Jill's. Aaron. There was no script on that Instagram story.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
She went right in the show.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
And didn't want to go to prison for, like, stealing from old people.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Jen Shaw.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
And I was like, she's so iconic. I'm like, she scammed old people.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I don't know for her, though. Emma. Emma Stone went to, like, I think her trial. Like, Emma still went incognito and waited outside in the cold just to see her, like, exit her. The courthouse for her trial.
Trisha Paytas
Who am I to judge anybody for? Like, fine. You know what? Great. Honestly, better probably than Gypsy Rose. I suppose that's a better Stan. You're right. Whatever. Queen go off. I'm not in this lore. I want to be in this lore we have coming on too. I'm very excited. Should I say it doesn't matter? Okay, we'll wait. I'm very excited. Someone I talked about recently, maybe love.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Okay, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Talk about me and the hair Jazzy podcast. I was like, wow, we're just so mutual in love with each other. Anyways, that's exciting. Speaking of court, I know you hate talking about this Subject. But Blake Lively and John Baldoni both showed up in forest green today. What? I wonder why. You know, there's stylists that choose, like, how you should present yourself. Well, the psychology of green. Well, for movies, people put them in green if you want to look sick. If you want to look, like you're, like, ill, you know? So I'm like, what's this green?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
To me, green, Forest green can symbolize nature, growth, harmony, and renewal.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, they both were like, we want to be.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yes.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
It's innocence. I'm like, I'm just a forest. I'm a tree in the forest. It's something innocence about it. Like. Like, good morals and ethics, you know.
Trisha Paytas
In green, to me, green is like, greedy money.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Well, it depends how they dress. Like, they.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
But for a screen in particular.
Trisha Paytas
Okay, forestry. Okay, so forestry. That makes sense. Growth and. Yeah, foundation. That's so interesting, because they both kind of looked matching. I'm like, did you guys coordinate this? Guys wearing the same thing? They kind of look fear. So I'm not gonna lie. Justin walked hand in hand with his wife into court. Ryan Reynolds was not there walking hand in hand, which I thought would have been really a powerful statement. You better walk hand in hand with me if I was in court. You know what I mean? Like, especially that kind of situation.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
I think Ryan is all upset about it beginning to end.
Trisha Paytas
He's like, okay, whatever. Yours, that's still your. That's still your wife. You know what I mean? If I'm Jill or who's the one that went to Jen Shaw. If I'm Jen saw and I stole from. I still want you to wait hand in hand with me, supporting me, you know I support my wife. Yeah. Why not? Like, I want support. To go by myself. Makes it look like, oh, Moses does. There's trouble in paradise. Moses is gonna leave her because she went to prison.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
That's our problem. If you stole from.
Trisha Paytas
It looks like Ryan Reynolds is like, I'm too busy to be there because I'm Ryan Reynolds. No, but this is, like, a really big deal. Like, your wife is claiming harassment. Oh, sexual harassment.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
It's different.
Trisha Paytas
Very different. Yes, you're right. So claiming harassment against a director. It's very high profile. Like, you should be there. Especially since you're high profile, but also, you're just her husband, too. I think you should be there. I think it's crazy not to say there's anything wrong with a woman just being independent, showing up by herself, but optics. Am I saying that right? I'm learning this More optics is like, oh, he has his wife. Like, he's not gonna be a creep is what, like, psychology would say if I was a psychologist. Right. Because you're like, oh, he can't be a creep. He is in a relationship. Look. I don't know. Like, whatever creeps can be, of course. But it looks that way more especially like if you brought kids in tow. Like, look, family man.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
It's always. It's always the first thing people look at is to see if the wife supports the person.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Yeah. Because they're like.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
That's the first way you can tell if something was actually period.
Trisha Paytas
Like when Glenn Powell and the Cindy Sweeney happened. And, like, Glenn Powell's girlfriend unfollowed him. We're like. Or the. Your latest ones with your trio that you love.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
All of them unfollowing each other. You're like, oh, wait, she doesn't support. So there must be something weird about this person. Just from an outside perspective. He's also moving to Nashville. Fleeing to Nashville as people do. I don't know fleeing is the right word, but you know what I mean? Like, running quickly selling that Ohio home for 8.9 million. Okay, Jane, the virgin residuals, like, 8.9 million in that Ohio house. That's crazy. Cody, co status over there.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I know.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Taylor.
Trisha Paytas
Crazy.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I know.
Trisha Paytas
Anyways, I was kind of gay that everyone was like, that was my headline on Twitter, Instagram, everywhere. Was them walking into court. Is it a trial jury?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It is.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I think they're meeting to see if they're. If they will settle, I believe.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, it's not even like, jury like Johnny Depp.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
No, I think they're still like, it will have. It could eventually become that, I think. But there are still, like, meeting to see if they're gonna settle.
Trisha Paytas
They should. I don't think anybody wants this mess. Thank you so much. Oh, wow. Thank you. Wow, you look just like Jacob Elordi today. Moses. You look very handsome. You really do. I see it now. I saved the comment. That was the top comment on the poster. And it was like waiting for Trisha, Paytas, and Moses to cosplay this. You look like him, I think.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Yeah. If I lose a couple of pounds because then his cheekbones, like, he's more.
Trisha Paytas
No, I think you're gone hotter than Jacob Elordi. Say, actually. You look very handsome. It's like your third Jacob Elordi role that you played. You played Elvis, you played Nate Jacobs, and now you are Heathcliff. I'm sure you played something else. I like Jacob Lordy. I don't. I haven't seen him in anything, but I think he's probably. Oh, I saw him in Priscilla. He seems good, right? I don't know. A little too skinny to be Elvis, huh?
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Yeah, he was too tall to be.
Trisha Paytas
Elvis, but, I mean, that's crazy to say. Too tall. He can't help being tall, but too skinny.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
He could have by casting people.
Trisha Paytas
People, right.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Usually they try to match.
Trisha Paytas
I don't think it. Everybody's usual. We gotta watch the Frankenstein. Did you ever see it?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
No. Darian did, though.
Trisha Paytas
We didn't watch it. We like Yamo del Toro. We love the shape of water.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Okay. Yeah.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
See, it's a settlement conference. And at every civil trial, it's like court order that you have to meet to see if you'll settle. And if it doesn't, then it would go to court, civil court in May.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
But Justin's lawyer walking in said, we're here to win, so it means he might not go for a settlement.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Blake didn't want to settle before, and then Justin's team did. They didn't want it to go to court, but now they might have changed. I have no idea.
Trisha Paytas
That's a crazy statement to say, just going to a mediator, just be like, we're here to win. Well, you're not here to do anything right now. You're just here to see if we can solve it. That's kind of wild and aggressive. I'm on nose. I have no idea. I'm just, like, so, like, not educated on this. Do I need to be? Probably not.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I don't think so. It's very much, like, in the court of public opinion right now. I think Blake is losing the court of public opinion for sure.
Trisha Paytas
And which makes me want to side with her. I kind of feel bad when, like, someone, like, is like, oh, like, you know, like. But I don't. I don't know.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I don't know either. I think it just has. There's obviously tons of files and stuff. But the thing is, like, they all get, like, cherry picked. And you can cherry pick the. Everything that's been submitted on to claim either side. Like, and that's what everyone's doing. Everyone's like, well, obviously it's true because of this. And then it's like, no, she's lying because of this. And it's like, everyone's just cherry picking things. So I'm kind of like, until it goes to core and is a consensus is made, then, yeah, I will say I've always been open to her possibly being harassed. Because it's not just her. It's like every. Every woman on the set said the same thing. Even like the. The Uber drive or like the driver that was driving her to and from set was saying that Justin was being weird to the driver. Yeah. That they interviewed the driver too. And there was like. That was in the, you know, the files as well. So I'm like, damn, there's a lot of people saying that.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Though I do understand the argument. People like, well, Blake is very influential. But then I would also argue right now, I think she's probably the least influential person in Hollywood. She's got this collateral over her that, like, no one wants, like, be bogged down by. So I have no idea.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, she's never done, like, great interviews in pass either. You're always like, there's something weird about this girl.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Every interview. It like, she's kind of been, like, very unlikable.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
But she still power. Because it was like the power couple and she had a lot of famous friends and stuff.
Trisha Paytas
But, oh, she should have walked in with Taylor Swift.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
She. Taylor wants nothing to do with it either. No one wants me to do it.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I don't blame anybody.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Especially when the text messages came out.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
It's horrible for Taylor.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Well, I don't think so.
Trisha Paytas
I don't think so either. I think someone just in a sense of.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
You never want your personal messages out there to the world.
Trisha Paytas
Of course, but they were personal messages, as we always say, sometimes personal messages. Who doesn't vent and rant and be mean to the. I don't anymore in text messages just for this reason. Because, you know, people are screenshotting every day. But back in the day, text messages, my mom and sister be like, you know, like, you just, you know, if you can't be catty and vent. Look at us. Like, if our conversations, you know, we love to be a little.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I feel like I've been on this program, so, like, I didn't know what.
Trisha Paytas
A text message said. I just love when defending her and being like, oh, we've all had those text messages. Which I would assume unless she said something great. Like, I don't know what she could have said. Like, you know, it was nothing great. She didn't call it, like, the f. Slur or anything. Right. So it's like, yeah, I think it's fine. I think it's fine. And how do I even get those text messages? Like, who puts them out there?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
So. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
And they can just publish them. Like, I get subpoena. Subpoena, Subpoena. What's the adjective?
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
That's a.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
The verb.
Trisha Paytas
The verb.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Subpoening in subpoenaed. Subpoenaed for court, I think.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
You getting it subpoenaed? Maybe. I don't know.
Trisha Paytas
Well, you know what I mean? Like, they can't just seal it in the courts. How did they get public?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
That's anything.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Anything in a court case is public.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah. And some, like, the personal stuff can get redacted, but.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, but it's not like it's already out there. Yeah, redacted is so silly. It's like, well, it's already. What did that just do? It's like, what do they do? Like, when you, like, say something from the jurors and they're like, you can't say that in front of that.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
From the record.
Trisha Paytas
It's like, well, I just heard that, so I'm not striking it from my memory. Like, that's so crazy. So if I was a lawyer, I'd always just put shit, I do want you to.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Morgan and Morgan.
Trisha Paytas
Yes, Morgan and Morgan and Trish. Still waiting for that billboard. I love those Morgan and Morgan billboards. But, yeah, I would not. Legal advice. We should put that as a disclaimer here. Do not take legal advice from me. But that's what I would do if I was a lawyer, which I'm not. They probably get a ton of money, though, from this case, huh? All their lawyers. That's why he's like, we're win. He probably wants it to.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
They're already making tons of money.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. He probably wants to, like, drag that out as long as possible.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I get at least until May, I suppose, but I am. I am ready for it to be over. There's some. There's like, too many things happening in the world that I'm like, my brain can't, like, juggle all of these things.
Trisha Paytas
I know. I'm with you. I. It's a suck that we look at these trials as, like, spectacle. Just like the giant up thing. I mean, that was such a moment in time. Like, we didn't have the podcast at the time, but I remember we would be just like, like glued as pregnant with Malibu and just like all hours of the day, just, like checking tick tock. Like watching the trial, like, just so glued to it. It was so weird. And that went on for like a month or something. And then when it was over, I'm like, what do we do now? Yeah, you know, sucks. But I guess they. They're Fine. He's playing Ebony or Scrooge or something. Did you see that? So jealous. I want to be in the remake of A Christmas Carol. That's so cool. He looked old. He looked old. But Amber heard, surviving. She has two children.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah. She moves. She's out of the country. Just living her life. I think Spain or something.
Trisha Paytas
Everyone goes there. Huh?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Who?
Trisha Paytas
Well, I don't know if we can say the name. We can bleep it there. Can you say that or no? Okay. I don't know what you can say. He was there. There was photos.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Okay.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. Is it conspiracy? I don't know. Okay, well, I don't like to get involved in that, but I'm just saying I saw him there. Allegedly.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
You saw him there yourself?
Trisha Paytas
Yes.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Okay.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Work on Twitter.
Trisha Paytas
You know that. AI always gets me.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
AI the Poop Graves. The Flop Graves.
Trisha Paytas
Pop flop, though. I like pop flop. If they, quote, tweeted me.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Thank you.
Trisha Paytas
I don't know. I don't know. What do we have for Hot Topics today? I was just excited for Jam Jam. Originally they were like, you only get 15 minutes with him. And I was like, okay, well, this is long.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
That's your intro.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, Yeah. I was like, can we do a little bit longer? He's very busy. He didn't say that. The publicist said that. But the publicist was nice. He was fine. And I was like, can we do a little longer? And we'll talk about other things too, like. Okay. They really got him unlocked there on the Traders. I guess they're in la. Someone let it leak that they're all in LA for the reunion right now.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Oh, T. Who did.
Trisha Paytas
It's like someone like Andy.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
God, I have so many. I guess we'll do the fun ones first. Amelia de Maldenberg. She is. Is gonna have a movie. Oh. And it's about a journalist who. It's gonna be a rom com. It's about a journalist that. Who's interviewing a celebrity. Then they end up falling in love.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Okay.
Trisha Paytas
I do love these life.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Art imitates life, I suppose. Wait, why everyone was shipping, like, her and Andrew Garfield? Because they had good chemistry. She also great chemistry with Damson. Idris too. So, I mean, she could be with anyone, I guess.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I love stories. Is she gonna play? Is she gonna be in it? Is she playing herself?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I don't know if she would play herself. She has been directing a little bit lately. Like, she's been directing, like, music videos and stuff, so.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. I love. I love this trope. We see it all the time. Don't cast Anna Hathaway in it, though. Oh, my God. I might have to see that. Do you know what I mean?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Why do you have a good.
Trisha Paytas
I know. I don't know. Actually, on the show we're watching, nobody wants us. Did I already see this on the podcast or. No.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Which part?
Trisha Paytas
No, but they don't like Ian Hathaway.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Oh, I don't think so.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God. Nobody wants this. This. They were talking about just things that are just like. You just have to agree, like, this girl code for no reason, whatever. And they're like, yeah, just the fact that we hate Anne Hathaway for no reason. And I was like, oh, my God, that's literally me. Like, there's no reason to hate her, but for some reason, I just. Like, I can't stand her, but she's fine. I don't know why, but when they said that and nobody wants this. You watched it with me. The two sisters were like, yeah, and you just have to hate Hannah way, even though there's no reason to. And I was like, that is womanhood. That's, like, so weird. It was weirdly like I felt not alone because I was like, wow, I really dislike it. Like, you know, just don't. Like, Like, I don't know. I don't. She seems fine, but for some reason, I can't get into any of her movies. I don't like Prince Dyers. I don't like Devil Rose, Prada. And I'm like, maybe it's her, but maybe it's not. Maybe it's me. Maybe there is some internal something that I'm dealing with. I'm not sure.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
No, I know exactly what it is. Okay, tell me, Lord, I'm really gonna get it today. I know it, because I am standing up for the girls. Anne Hathaway, the original Rachel Zegler. There was a hate campaign around when she was, like, hosting the Oscars and when she was bald in that one sad movie, Les Mis Rob. She got the hate campaign because she is very cringy theater kid. And I think.
Trisha Paytas
But I love.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I think back then, you would. I mean, you, like, until two years ago would be very influenced by a hate campaign. I think, like, if you just see an onslaught of bad things, you'd be.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Like, I hate this.
Trisha Paytas
Me with Blake Lively. You know, you just go with it. But, yeah, I get that makes sense. So there wasn't. I didn't remember the hate campaign, but that makes sense.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
She was like, everything she did. Like, no one was feeling her for A long time. And then she kind of took a little bit of a break. And now I think people are coming back around to Anne Hathaway. I always.
Trisha Paytas
You've always.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I always was a fan Hathaway, if you will. I don't know if I said that was good.
Trisha Paytas
A fan Hathaway. She seems fine because I like that trope and I like the Harry Styles esque movie that she did. But, like, yeah, this is something. I was like, I can't see a man halfway. But you don't know why that makes sense. That's right. You're, like, told not to like her.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yes. I think she's probably been tainted.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, that sucks.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Lux.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
But she has, like, five movies coming out this year.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. So she is crushing it.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Okay, that makes sense. I just. I don't like Princess Diaries. It's not a good movie, but maybe I'm. I definitely am.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I love Princess Diaries.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. It's probably a hot take for me. Maybe I was too old to like it. I don't know. Something about it, it came out and I was like, I don't like anything about this movie.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Oh, I loved everything about that movie.
Trisha Paytas
Because she was like, you know what it was is, like, her awkward was, like, real awkward. I like the Hillary Duff awkward, where it's like, I'm so, like, ugly and gross, but she looks exactly the same, except with a mask in with that. And you're just like. You're still, like, a hot, like, blonde. And Hathaway had, like, you know what it was, too? I had frizzy hair as a kid, and I got. Yes, Sophia Franklin clocked me for my frizzy hair. Like, you look like your finger was stuck in electrical.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
God, I forgot about that.
Trisha Paytas
No, I'll never forget it because it brought me back to literally. Kids all the time were, like, making fun of me for my frizzy hair. And I think me at Thermopolis had some frizzy hair, and it was giving me flashbacks to get the frizzy hair. So I was like, I can't.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Like, that really random person to get in drama is Josh Peck, who I kind of forgot about, to be honest. But he.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I didn't know. He was like, like, still.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
He's still kicking.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Okay.
Trisha Paytas
As an influencer or actor, I guess as a creator.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I don't know the influence mama. But he'd be creating. So he posted a video on Instagram where he was making fun of a family who was trying to put out a fire. Like their house was on fire. And they were using like water buckets to kind of put the water out. Here, I'll show you.
Trisha Paytas
First, this is a real fire.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Oh.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my gosh.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah. So the home is on fire. They're obviously just trying to do whatever. And then he like stitched it and like, was making fun of that for some reason. Everyone was like, oh, that's not like, what.
Trisha Paytas
Why would he do that?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Why?
Trisha Paytas
What?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Why? I really. I don't know. I don't know. I didn't know he was dubious like that because then, wow, everyone's airing out. Airing him out. In the, in the comments, I was like, oh, damn.
Trisha Paytas
Like, what are they saying?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Well, he married into like a very like, MAGA family, like super, super conservative and like, also like trying to like, fund legislation to, you know, take different minorities rights away. Allegedly. Okay, so everyone kind of be airing him out now and being like, oh, he's not a nice guy. And I'm like, damn, See, if you were fat, maybe you still. You could have maybe gotten away with this little antic. But being. I think that's kind of, if you want to be messy like that, that you can't be skinny, like your jester privilege is gone.
Trisha Paytas
That's kind of true. That's kind of true, actually. But also, look, I mean, he is like, he does seem nice. He presented nice when I knew him and stuff like that. But you're friends with David Dobrik. You guys still friends with David Dobrik. You know what I mean? And like, that's crazy, but that's actually almost like demented a little bit. Because like, if you see someone like in crisis, like in your, like, first thing is to like, stitch, like make a joke. First of all, Josh Pack has never been funny. He's been nice. Not funny. Has he ever. And all of you Drake and Josh fans I know, I like to meet one. Yes. Is he here? Yay. In a minute.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
There we go. And one this way. Three, two, one.
Trisha Paytas
Thank you, Oscar.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Do you want to see if we.
Trisha Paytas
Can get some shelves?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
There we go. There we go. There we go. Three, two, one. Bam, bam, bam, bam. Should you be in the middle?
Trisha Paytas
No, you just be in the middle. You're the star. You have water over there. Here.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
It's a pillow.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah, that's what. Yeah. Cuz I feel like need water. I need like, you know, a little bit more.
Trisha Paytas
And that's so interesting. Cuz me, I don't like pillows. Cuz I feel like it puts me to the forefront. I like to be like back Here, whenever I'm in a pillow, it looks like I'm just like, well, this is.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Made for you, of course. You look wonderful. Whenever you sit down, it's supposed to make me look. I still figured it out by the time I see this. I wish I looked this way.
Trisha Paytas
Tell me. I'll tell you what, though. You look tiny. These chairs are made to be, like.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Super, like, little tiny. I like that.
Trisha Paytas
But you are tiny. You are satch. That's why I know you have.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It's like, honey, I shrunk the kids kind of.
Trisha Paytas
Yes, yes. To be as small as possible. Yes. Water there? Coffee's coming. Yes. Yeah, I'll give you. We have a whole case if you want to take them. We have 500 cases.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
No, I'm traveling. I travel. I have already too much luggage.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. I love. So you just came by. You're here by yourself today? Oh, my gosh.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I travel from Mexico City because my husband and I have an apartment in Puerto Rico. An apartment in Mexico. And we travel from Mexico here because tomorrow we're filming the reunion of Trader Season 4.
Trisha Paytas
Are you so excited?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And, you know, you have to give looks. Oh, so.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, right.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And so, yeah, because my husband is a fashion designer. A lot of the stuff he sews. Him and his brother is, like, worked in Mexico. So I went there, got my outfit, which I think you might enjoy, because there's, like, a lot of shades that match this set. Oh.
Trisha Paytas
I didn't want to ask too much if you don't want to, like, spoil it. Okay.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
I love.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I think it's really fun, a lot of this. I should take a look at some. Take some fabrics from here.
Trisha Paytas
We have some in the garage if you need some.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Please wait.
Trisha Paytas
That's so exciting. So, okay, that's, like, a question. So you said Survivor. You did have looks and then trainers. We had Gabby, one of. One of the best trainers. I love her. And she was, like, telling us we didn't go too far into, like, looks because I watch it and I'm just like, how does everyone have this in the wardrobe? Like, everyone looks like they're part of the, like, castle. So, like, do they give you a guideline, like, ahead of time?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
They don't give you. They are like, have you seen how wonderful everybody looks? Bring it.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Oh, it's like Drag Race.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I think that's how I saw it. I mean, I'm a Survivor player. I'm a winner. I'm one of the gamers. And normally gamers are not known for their fashion because we're known for the game.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. You're out in the jungle or the island.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So going out there, my husband was like, you cannot go out there like everybody else. You're gonna go against the housewife. You're gonna go against people from drag race. You have have to bring it.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So they do have a stylist, and the stylist helps those ones that don't have, like, a big wardrobe. Like, maybe, like, Natalie got a lot of help. Rob Roche got everything he wore was from the stylist. A lot of the gamers got help. But the housewives, of course, you know, they got their own stylist. And Colton has his own stylist. Mark, Kristen. A lot of people brought their own stuff. Johnny, Tara and me.
Trisha Paytas
Yes, of course.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
No, you fear everything.
Trisha Paytas
Everything.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Mostly everything. Because I brought, like, 15 looks. Of course, I got out of episode seven. But that's good, though.
Trisha Paytas
Honestly, I've done reality shows. I think I've made it, like, week one, week two on both shows. I was like, oh, you know what I mean? So seven is good.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But I was used to winning.
Trisha Paytas
Well, that's okay. So if you guys don't know which I wasn't, like, from like, you are recent winner, season 44.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Season 44. That was like two years ago. I think it's gonna be three years now in May, because now season 50 is gon airing, which is like a super milestone for survivor or any show. Any show that has 50 seasons.
Trisha Paytas
Crazy. I remember when it first started, like, the first season. That's why I was like, how old are you? Did you remember when it first started? You don't say how old you are, but you remember. Okay, I do too. And I was like, how is this 50 seasons? I guess they do like two sometimes.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
They do two per year. I was 13, and I remember my parents were divorced, and they came back and we just. They just bought this house. Was huge house, House of dreams. And we're sitting in the floor because we had no furniture. We just moved in, just the tv. And this is the first show that come on that summer. And we're watching this show. He's eating pizza, and I'm like, I need to be part of this somehow. I could not stop talking about it from the beginning.
Trisha Paytas
So are you an outdoorsy person?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
No.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
That's right.
Trisha Paytas
Cause you said, I don't go to the gym. I love fashion.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I mean, I'm from Puerto Rico. Everything is outdoors, Right?
Trisha Paytas
Oh, so you are outdoorsy. I mean, yes or no?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I'm weatherproof. Okay.
Trisha Paytas
You can withstand. Yeah. Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So I was like, I'm gonna be part of it. And my life just continued. And I was like. I studied communication at Syracuse University because I thought that was gonna be my way in. Then I live in New York City for, like, four years, but I was like, this is never gonna happen. And then I moved to Puerto Rico, and I applied one time, telling them that I was living in New York with my driver's license because they were not open Puerto Rico applications.
Trisha Paytas
Wait, really?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So they got me into the process because it was Covid and now they had, like, the 50% vibe cop. You have to be, like, 50% of the cast have to be people of color.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah. So I was like, I think this is my way in. And they called me, and as soon as they called me, I bought my flint because on Survivor, you have to do fire. And I said to myself, I'm gonna win. And I said to myself every day in the mirror, you're gonna win Survivor. You're gonna win Survivor. You're gonna win Survivor. And I got on it, and I won't.
Trisha Paytas
That is crazy. So you really did, like, manifest it just by speaking it to existence?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. I literally. Okay. I want to, like, start with, like, the lore so you get it. You got onto fire. You said you had to bring your own flint so you knew how to start a fire.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
They only give you now a pot, a machete and a flint. A machete that you have to earn. Yes. Because you're in the junior. There's no open buffet and, like, catering. You have to do your own thing. You're eating papaya, snails, worms.
Trisha Paytas
What are you using the machete on the snail?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Because you're doing. You're doing the shelter. You're chopping the wood to, like, burn it.
Trisha Paytas
Not like pigs.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Well, if you find a pig, that would be amazing. But there's no pigs. There's goats. But on Fiji, you cannot touch goat because they're, like, sacred. So there's goats around. You can get the chicken. But we never got chicken.
Trisha Paytas
Wait, why?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Because you earn them on challenges, and in my season, they were like. They got us very little things on the rewards, and we were, like, literally starving. I lost 42 pounds on my game.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
42.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
42 pounds.
Trisha Paytas
But, like, starving.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I look amazing. I mean, we go on Survivor, put on the picture. There's some apps that if you find you might see a picture of me from when I got back from Survivor. Cause I look amazing.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my. But were you, like, miserable?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I was having so Much fun.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, really?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
No. I mean, I was hungry, but I knew everybody was hungry. I was like, everyone? If everybody's hungry, I can be hungry.
Trisha Paytas
And you were fine. Your mood didn't affect it.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And then some people won rewards and they got food. And then I got mad once they started eating.
Trisha Paytas
How do they get that food in there?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
By rewards.
Trisha Paytas
But like, how do they fly it in, like helicopter or what?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So production, it's like a hundred people production, it's like over there. So when they have this department where if there's a reward, it's always cold. It looks pretty, but it's like been sitting there for hours.
Trisha Paytas
Which you would take though, I guess, if you're starving.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yes. I got one time I got sandwiches. Like we did like pedicures, which is very amazing because I own a hair salon. So I got a pedicure while playing Survivor.
Trisha Paytas
Was it worth it or I'd rather have like a pizza, I feel than a pedicure.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It came with food, so I was really happy.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, it came with. Okay. I was like, you got one or.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
The other I'm gonna see with macaroons and everything. A little like tea sandwiches. I was, I was like, tea sandwich.
Trisha Paytas
Just give me a butt longer. It's all.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah, take me to a food court. And then at the final, we got this breakfast that we get to cook ourselves, which is cool.
Trisha Paytas
It's really cool. So they give you like some bacon.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Like put it over there the last day. It's always like part of the thing on survey. If you get there to the last day, you get the finale breakfast which is like all the things you need to do at breakfast. Egg, bacon, avocado bread. And they bring you like a griddle. So you put on top of your fire, they bring you a champagne bottle. Wow. But our final three was with Carolyn. Carolyn w Traders from last season and she doesn't drink, so it was more for me.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Oh, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I'll take that one.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Imagine going drunk into final travel console. I was like, ah, that was.
Trisha Paytas
That's why he won. Everyone's like, we love that. Is that to me, the hunger part would get me. I did big brother and I self evicted because they weren't like there wasn't enough food in the house. I was like, I can't eat.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I saw plea that they were gonna give you a pizza but you could not have safety or something. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Like put yourself up for eviction. I'm like done and done. Give me that pizza. And it still wasn't enough. But I still was get me out of here. It really affected me. I was 10 days in, and I was like, I need to go, you know? So that's crazy that you. That means you have very strong, like, willpower. You don't have, like, a food addiction or anything.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
You said about no washcloth.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Imagine.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Because in Survivor, it's like, the ocean, right?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It is.
Trisha Paytas
How are you washing your.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Okay.
Trisha Paytas
Is that too personal?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So my. My thing is, like, I got famous because at the first episode, I said, I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I can't wait to see Jeff. I can't wait to not shower, not brush my teeth. Poop in the ocean. Bring it. So that's, like, my thing. And everybody was like, did you? I was like, that was the best. I did it after I came home. When I was going to the beach, I would go to the beach, because, you know, in Puerto Rico, there's popular beaches, but there are ones that are, like, less people, and I would just go into the water and do it.
Trisha Paytas
You know what? People should assume that in an ocean anyways, that people are just peeing and pooping in there. Like, that's probably an assumption everyone can make.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You need to wipe.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, it's like a bidet all over nature's bidet. Yeah, it's just, like, soaked in a bidet.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It's not my most glamorous aspect in life, but it happens, okay?
Trisha Paytas
It's real. And honestly, can I tell you, too, I'm also someone who's like, I don't love to shower. That does kind of sound nice not to, like, go into a shower, you know, just kind of bathe in the ocean.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I'm gonna wait. It's disgusting. That part is bad. That part is bad. I would go into the water every day, but some people didn't go in for the whole month, and they were smelly. Oh, no.
Trisha Paytas
You, like, smelled it.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I would try wear every day in the water, in the ocean and then at the water. Well, I would do, like, my beard, and that's how I did a lot of my alliances. I would go with the girls that had long hair to the water world in the morning. Like, do my beard, but talk with them. And then I would go with the boys to the water and the ocean and watch myself. And I had my little cruise.
Trisha Paytas
I was gonna say, how do you think? Like, obviously you, like, said it out loud that you were gonna win, but was there, like, a strategy? Was it just, like, be nice to everyone, like, be friends with everybody, and then you'd have no enemies.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
That's a hundred percent how I went for it because I wanted to be, like, super social, know what everybody was doing and not be a threat. So I would be going, someone's like, oh, my God. I heard this about me. What do you think? And then people say, no, don't worry. This is what we're doing. I was like, oh, thank you. And then I would go to the other person and say, like, oh, my God. I think it's happening because this person told me this is happening. But I think it's being said, no, no, no. It's not what this person is doing. This is what we're doing. So I would get everybody information even though I was a threat because everybody liked me in the middle way of the game. In the middle part, when it merged at the beginning, that threat went away really fast because I made myself vulnerable.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And then people thought that they had to protect me. Oh, no. Jam. Jam is with us. Is our number. He would never. No, it's okay. He's not gonna, like, why would he win? He's like, just, jam, Jam. You know, he's having fun and he's a number. So we, Carolyn and I and Carson, from being the bottom of the three tribes, three people versus five and six, we got all the way to the final four.
Trisha Paytas
Wow. Wow. And so by the end, because, like, Carolyn didn't have enemies either. They're just kind of just like, chill and going.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
They didn't believe she did a good game and she didn't sell it for. I thought she had a great game. But at the final tribal council, you have to talk with the jury, and she was, like, saying nothing.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Well, you're good. You're good at people just liking you. I would vote for you. Even if you backstabbed me, I'd be like, give it a jm.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You know what I mean? I told them. I was like, this happened. This happened, this happened. And I backstabbed everyone, but I told them why, and they respected that. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
So, okay, so did you try to use that same strategy going into traders?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Traders. So hard, girl.
Trisha Paytas
Is it. I love it.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So hard. Because there's. It's two parts of the game. Of course, everybody sees, like, there's the traitors and there's the faithfuls.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And only the traders have the whole information.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So if you're not a trader and you're faithful, the only thing you can do is. Is, yes. Try to befriend everyone. But everybody thinks you're a traitor.
Trisha Paytas
You did befriend everybody.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I tried.
Trisha Paytas
You're. I don't think it's fair. Just my opinion that, like, the way you're eliminated because it's like, yeah, because we were friends. It's. You're friends. And also it's like, I don't know, like, because you touched. You know what I mean?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Like, that seems a little less of me.
Trisha Paytas
Did you even think.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I had no idea. I had no idea. I went in and I asked. I was like, so this banquet is gonna be like, what? I was like, no, it's a celebration. About halfway off the game, I was like, oh, my God.
Trisha Paytas
It's a celebration.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Aw. So you know. Cause in other seasons of Traitors, especially uk, they do these dinners.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And in the dinners, they're just cheering and celebrating life and saying nice thing about everyone. Okay. So you're like. So I was like, this is what's going on.
Trisha Paytas
So you really. So you did not think it was a part of gameplay. You're like, this is just for the gag.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
When I got there and I started, I saw everything that was on the table. The black roses, the cards, the tarot cards, the different chalices and chairs. I was like, I think something might go down, but I'm not gonna follow anybody's instruction. I'm not gonna take what everybody tells me to do. I'm not gonna drink it, I'm not gonna eat it, and I'm not gonna sit what they tell me to sit with it.
Trisha Paytas
So you kind of were aware then.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yes. But then Lisa walks in with this amazing outfit.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And Lisa and I were friends. I mean, I think Lisa. Lisa is one of the most amazing persons in the whole cast. Yeah. I mean, I love Rob. I love Natalie. I love, like, a lot of people. But I found her so special because since I was a kid, a big reality TV fan, Lisa has been part of the reality tv.
Trisha Paytas
She is the most iconic, for sure.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So I was, like, into her so much that when I see her walk in, I was like, oh, my God, you look amazing. And then she goes like, oh, the brooch pins. She was like, let me help you. Isn't that stupid?
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God. Do you, like, have you been able to let it go, or are you just, like.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
The only thing that makes it worth it is that Lisa and I text back and forth at dm.
Trisha Paytas
So you got the friendship.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yes. I mean, yes, of course. I don't live in LA or. She has a very different life, but she's so cool and she's so real, and she's Amazing.
Trisha Paytas
But she killed you. But that is. I guess that is kind of right. Where traitors is the backstab. That's what kind of makes a good trader. Would you have wanted to be a traitor?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I would have loved to be a traitor. I mean, the show is traitors, and when Candy says it's not named the faithful, it's named the traitors. Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to have.
Trisha Paytas
They didn't put a game player as a traitor that season the first time. Cause Carolyn was right. Carolyn was a traitor. That is kind of wild that they didn't do that.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
First season, they got Serie. That one. She's from Survivor. Second season they had Parvati, and they also had a big brother guy from first season was a big brother guy. And Ceri Serie won. Second season they had a big brother, another big brother guy that brought in Parvati, which is from Survivor. Third season they had Carolyn and Rob, Boston Rob and Danielle from Big Brother.
Trisha Paytas
So everybody's all game players.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Life is crazy, right? And people are crazy.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So I have a. I have this fear that if I cannot control things, so whenever I want to order something that I know how it tastes, and then they don't make it how I like it, then I get disappointed and mad.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Oh.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So stuff that people. Stuff that people cannot mess up. Sparkling water, black coffee.
Trisha Paytas
We have sparkling water out there if you need.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And beer. That can never be.
Trisha Paytas
Well, you said beer, but you weren't supp. You didn't specify, like, a mod beer.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah. Model would be awesome. Oh.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, okay. Well, we can get them for sure. How is that? And we have. Yeah, we have the sparkling water. Yes, That's. That's good. Because I'm the same way. If someone messes up, I'm just like, hopefully I didn't mess it up. I was very. Look, there's nothing else on there, but.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But you probably did an amazing job.
Trisha Paytas
I don't know. I'm really not great at that. I'm a very plain person as well. And I'm like, if something. If there's like, cheese on my egg muffin, I'm like, I can't eat it. Like, he's like, let me just take it off. I was like, no, you know what I mean?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But I'll eat it, but I won't be happy.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, okay. I'm just not gonna be happy and won't eat it. And then I'll be even more mad because I'm hungry.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Like, thank you.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, do you. Okay. That's nice. That's more polite. I'm definitely just like, I just sit there and donate and just make everybody feel awkward. I'm like, nope, can't eat anything. And then I just, I have an issue with food. I'm trying to like rewire it, but it's the whole thing.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And I put this here.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, you can put it here. You can put it wherever you want. Yeah, put it wherever you want.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
That's what they told me yesterday. Kidding. That's not proper.
Trisha Paytas
What happened yesterday?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I don't know.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I love it belong ish. Put it wherever you want.
Trisha Paytas
You are so funny. I love your personality so much. Even through text and stuff like that. Cause like the first thing I was like, you had such an iconic exit and you just rip. It's Lisa. I love this person and I wish we could have seen more of the. Like you did do. Like there are people who are giving nothing. Not, not to say they're not giving nothing.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Well, Mark, my husband, I said my husband was like, oh, I'm going to see. Steven was like, he's the one from Laguna Beach. He's amazing.
Trisha Paytas
Like Mark. I know because the answer stars but he's giving nothing. But maybe the edit is just he's giving nothing right now.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
A lot of them that get farther into the game are the ones that have survived banishments or murder so far. Played a very low key game because that's the strategy on traitors. If you want to get far, you need to be low key.
Trisha Paytas
Yes.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Because if you are a traitor and you're too loud, they're gonna banish you.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And if you are a faithful that is too loud and you get the traitor. Right. Then you're gonna get murdered. So people that are noisy at the beginning are the ones that get to leave the game.
Trisha Paytas
I see. But then you just, you make more of an impact. Like I do feel like I remember the loud ones, I guess you could say. Cause at the end the trade traders, last traders and no, no shade. Obviously I loved Gabby Dylan. Okay. But like some of I didn't even know like you know that one, the.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
One housewife Dolores and Lord Iber.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I forgot about everybody.
Trisha Paytas
That's my point. There was four winners. Like I can't think of the other two.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Even the last traders, Brittany from Big Brother, people don't remember her. Yeah, I don't know. Amazing Big brother player. Like one of the most amazing ones. But then you go on this show and for example, Sandra, two time Survivor winner, Puerto Rican.
Trisha Paytas
Yes.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Amazing.
Trisha Paytas
Loved.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Like if you need a reality TV fairy godmother that tells you what to do. That's her.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But she got fifth place on her season. And tell me what happened with her on the game.
Trisha Paytas
I guess just.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Did she face up with Janelle?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Was that.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yes, yes, I remember that.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And she invented the term traitor angel.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yes.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Which is a very big strategy for faithfuls. And she taught people how to play with numbers. Because at the end of the game, it's a numbers game. You want to go to the end.
Trisha Paytas
Yes.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And this is what happened with Candace. She just. Because she wanted to play a faithful game, she murdered or banished people that were gonna probably protect her. But by the time Candace goes to this roundtable, everybody that's left is Rob's friend.
Trisha Paytas
That is so. That's such a good point. And I think, like, because I'm first out, I'm the worst of strategy. Like, I would be the first out. Cause I have no strategy whatsoever. Like, I always feel like.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Like.
Trisha Paytas
But now I'm, like, learning as I watch the show, I'm like, no, you. If you know a trader, keep that trader around. Don't be like, let's banish it. Like, you want to keep it to the.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I thought the trader were Stephen and Maura.
Trisha Paytas
Steven and more.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Which one's Maura Mora Higgins from Love Island. Irish.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, okay. Okay. Yes, yes, yes.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So I was like, they've never had in the US Trader a trader that is not a US Citizen. Right. So I was like, wouldn't be an amazing that it's her. Because we had Caroline Sunbury from London under Dubai and her from Ireland.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Oh.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And I was like, it's probably her. So I was, like, very close to her. But she also thought I was the traitor.
Trisha Paytas
How do you know she, like, told.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You after she told me after that she was going like that in my bag all the time. Oh, my God. So they never show that. I was like, I wish they thought. Because they think you're angel.
Trisha Paytas
Put that on the reunion.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
That's so nice. I would tell her tomorrow. Yes.
Trisha Paytas
Did people take it a little too serious? Seriously, the show?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I feel like I took it too seriously. You did at the beginning with Michael Rapaport and everything. It was just too much for me.
Trisha Paytas
Trigger warning.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So I took it very personal because I thought, okay, we're playing a game. But this guy, everything he's saying, it's like it felt directed at who I am, not how I am playing, but who I am. It just felt that way.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Like.
Trisha Paytas
Like not even what we saw on camera. Like, off camera, too Some of the.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Stuff he would say, like, about how I pronounce my name or for this stuff. And it was just. Even when people were telling him, it was like, it's not yam yam, it's jam. Jam.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I was like, I don't care. I'm from New York.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I think Portia said that, like, they actually edit. The edit was in his favor because he was.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Oh, my God.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
In the castle.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah. I mean, he's really good tv. Well, if I was not there with him.
Trisha Paytas
Right? If you weren't. I don't know, though. Like, Oscar didn't watch it with Michael Rapport. He's like, I cannot watch it with him in it.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
He just, like, sucked the life out of the room.
Trisha Paytas
I kind of agree. Like, there is, like, good TV villains, right? There's those ones that you just, like, love to hate, and you're like, oh, they're such a good villain. I just think he was not, like.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
He was just even a villain. He was just, like, unlikable, like, just to make people feel uncomfortable. And just because he. He thrives in that energy. You know what I'm saying?
Trisha Paytas
It's so weird.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So I was wrapped into it. And then after he leaves, after he said to Colton about the closet thing, I go. I switch in my brain. I was like, I need to go back to what I was, a survivor, which is like a happy, bubbly person and having fun. And this is when I started connecting with Lisa. But I guess too close.
Trisha Paytas
The beginning of the end. Yeah. Which I mean. Yeah, I guess it just. You just don't know when you're in that house. Like, I just don't know how you could ever get a who's who. Like, you just have no idea.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
There's people that are, like, focused on it. And I felt like I was trying to do that, but it's just. If it's the kind of. It's like a slippery slope.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
If for some reason I think it's you for whatever you said, then I'm hyper focused on what you're doing, and I forget about other people. So if you don't catch it from the beginning, and I think Caroline and Monet catch Lisa and that's why they were murdered so early. That's when I was never gonna think was a Candace or upper Lisa. It was like, no, Donna. I got minute one. As soon as I saw her come out of the car.
Trisha Paytas
I forgot she was. I forgot she was on too, Kelsey. So right away, you're like, it's her yeah, yeah. That was kind of. That was kind of a weird twist that they put in there. But I mean, love.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And it was a weird twist because you have this lady that says she's not part of this world, which I'm not. I mean, she's more part of it than I am of this celebrity world. Oh.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I see.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And she goes. And they make her a traitor. But she's like an older lady. Even though she's like really, really successful in whatever she did at banking and mortgages and stuff in Florida, but she's doing this work by herself.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So you go into this world with all these people and like characters, and on top of it, you're giving a responsibility that you cannot share to anyone. It isolates you.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And I think that's what was a given. She was always like paranoid, like looking or she looked like she was, maybe she wasn't. But it didn't read as this person is here to have fun. She was like, probably like measuring every single word she was gonna say. Not to give it away.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Also, when you're older, it's just like, it is just hard in general. Like the physical activities and stuff. I was like, I couldn't do it.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
There was a sharia thing. First of all, she's like way taller than me. She's like her kid's body. I don't know what. No. For a 78 year old, I think she is. She did the challenges. She did the rowing in my boat the first episode and then on the chariot. She did half of the chariots because it was hard. Yeah. But I have to give it to her. She was not given like a good. She was not given an easy out. She had to do everything and she.
Trisha Paytas
Did it because I don't think I could do any of those physical challenges like the rowing out right away. I would just.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
That would be so cute. Like, you would be complaining and you'd be like, I can't row.
Trisha Paytas
Call me out just for being annoying, then give me that vote. I don't care if you're a faithful trader. You're out out. Cuz even Survivor, like, how do you do, like, physical challenges? I couldn't do it. No way. There's no way. Hell, I could do Survivor. That's insane. Were you back for the. Were you back for this 50th All Star one?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
No, I wasn't reached.
Trisha Paytas
Didn't reach out. You should have it. I feel like, like, honestly, like everyone.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You're gonna make me cry, Trisha.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, sorry.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I mean, they Were survivor. Sorry. Survivor 50 and Traitor Season 4 were filmed at the same time.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, so you couldn't have done it.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So. But I was not. I'm coming out. There's people that have been saying, oh, my God, no. They reach out and I said, no. No way. They said no to Survivor 50. I'm gonna be honest. I was not asked.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I would have been part of the conversation.
Trisha Paytas
I mean, you're a winner. It's all winners.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
No, all winners were 40. And for 50 is like the celebration of the show. And it's called Survivor 50 in the hands of the fan. So it's the first time they do 24 players. The most they've done is 20 people. And they pick three winners from the new era, which I would have been one of those. And everybody else is like, icons and legends.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, okay. Well, you're an icon and legend.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Everyone's an icon and legend.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
These people are my friends. I'm not gonna say that. They are not icon or legends.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Some just played the game, but some stars, some legends.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Everybody that is before 40, everybody that is before 40, it's an icon. Everybody that got casted from the new era, maybe they are. It's been said by fans, choices, choices.
Trisha Paytas
Oscar, blame him. Oscar said they're flops.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I mean. I mean, let's give them a chance.
Trisha Paytas
Well, you know, you made it on Traders, and I really do feel like, because I'm so not like, I don't watch, like, big brothers, so it's like, I think if you make it on Traders, then you must. You're like one of the stars.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Exactly.
Trisha Paytas
Like, no one else would be on there. And then when I found out you want, I was like, oh, my gosh, that's amazing. But you're right. I don't. I think, like, you can't. You can't have Traders without game players. Then it's just boring. Like, if it's all housewives, like you said, they kind of ran the turret and stuff like that. It's just like. Well, they don't know how to play. You know what I mean? It was good when, like. Was it Danielle and Carolyn, when they were, like, going at each other, you know, as traders.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It's, like, so much fun.
Trisha Paytas
That makes sense. Good tv, right? It's like.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It's lovely. And I think Rob and Candice going back and forth.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
On the last episode. Oh.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, that was good. That was.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
She said, he said this the game. It's called Traitors. I was like, well, you're not a traitor. You're a snake. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
No, the housewives have the lines. Like, I feel like they have. I was like, how do we have these lines?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
School for it.
Trisha Paytas
I know. Like, how are you so curious?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
They're good at reading. What do you think about Alan? He. Him saying Danielle is, like, the worst traitor in history, and he puts, like, Rob up there as, like, the best.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I think Rob is amazing. I think Rob is doing great. I give that. I think I agree with Ellen in that. But the Danielle thing. Oh, I have to call Daniel. Answer what she thinks. She didn't even remember the name.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Wait, what happened?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
He, like, he ranked. Like, who's the. He named the. His. The best trader out of the show and, like, the worst trader out of all the seasons. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
On what? On what? What did he say?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
One of the talk shows. I forget which one.
Trisha Paytas
There's. There's such a publicist for traitor. Do they not be like, hey, let's not. I mean, love Alan. I love.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I mean, Alan is. Can do whatever he can. He wants. He's amazing. But if you're Danielle and you hear the host of the show say you. He thinks you're one of the worst traitors, and he doesn't remember your name when he's saying it.
Trisha Paytas
It's getting ru. With Jinx, though. Jinx is an icon and rude has. You know what I mean?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
What is your name?
Trisha Paytas
What is your name? Yeah. You know, I think when you're, like, you're hosting, you're doing a lot. You are older.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I don't remember.
Trisha Paytas
I don't remember people's names all the time. It's not even like a rude thing sometimes. You just don't remember.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So I don't think she's the worst, though. I think she was committed to the cause. She decided to come in and be a mess or act like she was a mess, and she did her thing.
Trisha Paytas
I would say, Danielle, if you're watching, I think you might be the best traitor because I loved her reaction when she was like, oh, my God. Like, that was so.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
That's. And they believe it. And they believed it.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And it's, like, so stupid.
Trisha Paytas
And that was good, right? People were like, oh, it's okay. It's okay. She killed. She was on my grandkids. I was like, oh, girl, that's, like, ruthless.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
No, she's fierce and she's committed, and she out of everybody except serie so far. She's the traitor that had made her the farthest.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah, she said something pretty good. Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Her and Britney but they were basically together.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Maybe he got it himself late. So.
Trisha Paytas
So, yeah, there was another Danielle on the show. Maybe he got mixed up, right? Maybe another show Brittany. They're all, you know, like, those names. That's why I love a Jam Jam, my kid. I have Aquaman as my son. I love a name that's unique because you'll never forget.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
Alan loves saying your name.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Oh, my God, it's you. Jam Jam.
Trisha Paytas
Wait, why Did. Was I. First of all. Okay, that's my favorite moment ever in all of Traitors. For real. For real. It was so good. And it was like. Did he, like, redo that, or was that.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
No, it was one take.
Trisha Paytas
It was one take.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I think I. I think I. Well, he did it one time with me, only I. Maybe he did it afterwards again. But no. Were you shook?
Trisha Paytas
Were you, like, what? It's so aggressive.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I mean, I was obviously disappointed, mad, surprised. But my husband told me. I was like, I'm happy that when you got murdered, you were calm. Because if you look at my face, I go, like, I told you it was me. Because I tell Mark. I told Mark that I thought it was gonna be me. And then when Mark did not believe me, what I was saying, that it was Lisa, or the people that were near me were not believing me. That's when I started screaming. But I started screaming, it's Lisa.
Trisha Paytas
It's Lisa. Lisa, kiss me.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Cause they were asking me, what do you mean? What do you mean? As I'm being dragged out, they're, like, questioning me, like, 20 questions jam jam. Hold a minute. I need to ask you something. I was like, dude, it was Lisa. It was Lisa. Okay, it was not the kiss, but I definitely felt. You knew that she shifted. And I said this somewhere else. I remember where. But I said, like, because Lisa and I had connected, or I felt I connected personally, like in the cars and stuff, when she was talking to me in the banquet, it felt so much extra. And I say in the episode, there's something about your eyes. There's, like, stars in your eyes and the way you're talking to me. But it was that she was acting with me. It became Lisa the housewife or Lisa the actress. And that's why I felt something happened, that it was not what. It was normal for me. And that's why I started screaming. It was her.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, you, like, felt okay, because that was chaotic. So are they actually, like, dragging you?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Oh, my God. They pull the chair away. It's super heavy. And they start grabbing me, like, from their armpits. And they're like, I thought I was going like this, but I was walking.
Trisha Paytas
So are they. Because I. I'm so. I hate when people try to pick me up or do anything. If they try to drag me out of there, first of all, I'd be a sack of potatoes. I couldn't, like, you know, like, you were carried away.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
Is it like, are they doing it?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Like, it was physical? It was. I mean, I did not get hurt physically, but it was very strong. It was very real. I wish I just, like, taken Mark with me and grabbed him by the hair and take him out, like, everyone.
Trisha Paytas
No, I said before you got here. I was like, I'd be going out the same way too. I would literally be especially. Cause, like. But it was. It almost just seemed like scripted or, like, acted out. Like they kinda gave you a script or something. But you're like, it's all.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
That's what Marto asked me when I saw him, like, a month ago. He goes like, were you acting? I was like, no, dude. That's the whole thing about me. This is exactly who I am. I'm not overacting. This is what you get. And this is why people didn't trust me in the castle, because they were like, what this guy is about. He's like, on all the time. And I'm like, well, it's just you. I meet traitors in Scotland in the castle with 22 people that I've known since I'm, like, 13 years old. I was like, of course I'm gonna be excited.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, you were giving. You were giving excitement. But I just think you just had such a dramatic exit with Alan. Even everything. Everything was so dramatic. Even when they, like, murder people in the seats, you know, when they get their little car.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Oh, that would be horrible.
Trisha Paytas
It's like. But it's also, like, not dramatic. I'm like, they should do something like kind of escape the night tease where.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
They like, something like they script a dad.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, they should go, you know something. But at least you got a drama one. At least you got a dramatic.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I'm sorry, they prompted. Like, whoever gets pick at the banquet needs to go like, yes, you should have done it.
Trisha Paytas
Well, that's all die.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Maybe next time they'll do it.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, they're talking about doing an all stars trader. Have you seen that?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I've seen. I've seen a few posts.
Trisha Paytas
Redemption. They gave Dorinda a chance back. It's like, they definitely need a G. You know what I mean? You need to be there.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I think after my murder that Lisa targeted me for being a very helpful friend.
Trisha Paytas
She knew. She knew you would like she. You would help me.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
She knew it.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
They need to redeem my death and like they should do like a twist of like, like everybody that got murdered in plain sight or whatever. Or like face to face.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And then bring us back like zombies.
Trisha Paytas
Ooh, a little theatrical.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yes. I mean that show can stun anything.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, no, there really is. And the budget just keep going up and up and I love it. What are you most nervous about for your reunion tomorrow?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I'm afraid that somebody's gonna be wearing my same color.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Real.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Wouldn't you be like afraid for someone match?
Trisha Paytas
No, I don't think so. If you have a stylist husband and your style, I don't think anyone's gonna be matching you.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I mean that's a prey number one.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And my second one. Cuz these people just want to have air time. I was like, they gonna come for me and like you think, but there's.
Trisha Paytas
Nothing to come for you for. Right. You kind of were a perfect face.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Gamers and Survivor fans are very, very, very intense. And I feel like maybe some of the other Survivor players or big brother players are gonna say something about like the gamers did not work together.
Trisha Paytas
Okay, that's kind of valid. Why didn't you like team up with.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I tried, but they didn't trust in me.
Trisha Paytas
Other Survivor people. So who's the survivor?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Not me, like the gamers per se. Because we talk about like every single season there's been multiple gamers in the turret. So we go into this season, there's not a gamer in the turret. So what happens with the gamers? They don't trust each other. Because I go like, I'm not a traitor. You must be a traitor. Or you or you or you. And everybody has the same energy. So that brings down the gamer. The ability of gamers to work with each other.
Trisha Paytas
But even if there was a traitor in there, I'd like it would be like let's just all gamer stick together and get the other. Especially like the random ones like the Michael Rappaport. He has no one. You know what I mean? You could have just easily gotten those people out and stuck with Survivor big brother to the end.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Exactly. But the first two murders were gamers, so there's three left. And then one of the gamers, Tiffany, comes for me and then my group of friends protect me and we banish her. So it's only Natalie and I left left and we Were working together.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So it's, it's a weird spin on like the web and Twitter and stuff and chat. BCC was like why gamers did not work together but we never had a chance.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Well, I guess for future traders you could be like, hey, let's work with our, our people.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I think it is hard though now for the gamers after I guess kind of after Parvati season. Right. Because like the traders being so like gamer focused and so like strategic now. Now I feel like there's. No matter what gaming franchise you're from, there's going to be a cloud over all of them. Like Survivor and Big Brother. Like they're always. People are going to be suspicious. Like if you're going there, I feel like you'll be suspicious of anyone who's on Survivor.
Trisha Paytas
I'm gonna work with the gamers. I'm a gamer.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Listen everybody.
Trisha Paytas
Housewife as Lisa Renaissance. Don't put me in there with the content creators. I am, there's never a content creator on there. But like I would be with the gamer is I was going to put you know how like the one from Laguna beach is like, oh, I'm from One Tree House. Okay. I'm gonna say that was Big Brother. I'm actually, I'm from Big Brother.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I think every season they're putting more people that are not housewives or gamers. So I think that crowd. Cuz we had Donna, Eric, Ron and oh yeah, I think two more people that were not, you know, the rest of the same kind of people. So you would have like a big group if you were.
Trisha Paytas
If they work together. But they don't because they, they're, they're not game players and they have no strategy, which is me. But I would know also with someone. But that's why I said even for drag racing you have some more drag like some more queens in there.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Totally.
Trisha Paytas
Because it's not fair. It's just like one. And if you're like in the same show like you know you just kind of like have that like camaraderie and stuff like that. I feel like the queens get out way too early. They would make the best entertainment. But like you said, I think it's just anybody who's entertaining, they want to get out. You know, they're like, well yeah, because.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
They'Re, they think we're doing it on purpose. That we're just extra because we want to throw people off. Because. And it's not because of that that I walk in and I not necessarily did the traitor. The Gamers alliance thing. Not. I tried. They did not want to work with me, but I did the natural thing of, like, try to befriend people that were enjoying my presence.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, you should. We would have done so. If I saw you in Traitors, I would have had your back no matter what.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Again, you would have killed me.
Trisha Paytas
I wouldn't care. I'd have been like, it's fine, dude.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You have to never kill you.
Trisha Paytas
Maybe, yeah, you definitely. What I shouldn't trust. But I'd be like, that's fine.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I like.
Trisha Paytas
I like it because it's. It really is for me. I would feel like such a social game. I would just, like, keep the ones that I want around. You know what I mean? I'd just be like, oh, I want this person.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
That was. My whole thing was like, why be boring? I told production after I got murdered, I was like, don't cast boring people again. And I'm not saying these are boring people in real life, but they were so afraid of everything that they were quiet.
Trisha Paytas
It. I agree with that. This season, it feels. Yeah, I love it where I'm seated for it. But, yeah, it could have had more. More even. Like, Boston Rob, I didn't know his game. I didn't know anything about him, but I like. I was like, oh, I like this person because he was, like, entertaining. You know what I mean? And Carolyn and all of them, like, they were. They entertained me, and I was like, oh, I like that.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But I don't like Boston Rob a lot. Oops. I'm a Survivor winner.
Trisha Paytas
I don't. I know nothing about him.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
He seemed. But I've always been more about, like, the powerful woman.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God. Yes. Yes. Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And Boston Rob is, like, on the other spectrum of that. Not that he's not a cool kid or anything, but not your vibe. I was like, of course he's gonna be a traitor.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I wish everyone was gagged for him. So, like, I'm gonna get gag. You know, I just go with the hype.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I mean, how many seasons it took him to win Survivor? So four. Yeah, four.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And he went back. Sorry, Boston Rob.
Trisha Paytas
Damn.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Sorry, Amber. Amber is the wife. She also wants Survivor. But first. First. And him. And he went back with. This season. It was Redemption island with, like, the super villain Russell, and it was the two of them returning with everybody that was a fan, and they. From what I've heard. Who cares? Who cares what I've heard? Let's make a story. Storytelling time.
Trisha Paytas
Yes, Storytelling. Let's hear it.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Storytelling time. So apparently they asked the people in that season. It was season 22. It was season 24th season. He wore. He played Marquise as all Stars, which his wife won and hero versus villain. And then he went back to Redemption Isla with Russell. They asked people if they were Rob fans or Russell's fans, like in the casting process. And everybody that said they were a Russell fan, they put on everybody that said they were a Rob fan, they put on bus on Rob stripe. And everybody that said they hated Russell, they put on Russia, Russell's tribe.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
So the power dynamic.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So that's why Russell didn't last it a long time on Redemption Island. But everybody that was on Robson, Rob's tribe, obviously, I mean, that's just something that's been said. Of course, I don't. Whatever. It's a ruination process. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. In an alternate universe. Jack, I just heard this for entertainment purposes, but I mean, it makes sense. He still has to get to the end and win. But if you like get dealt the cards that you get dealt, then yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I mean, that, that is Survivor just seems if you could do an all star, if you had to pick like you can do all star trader. All Star Survivor, which one are you picking?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
All Star traitors.
Trisha Paytas
Yes.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Okay. Because I think I need a little redemption.
Trisha Paytas
You serve more looks on there too. And it's just so much fun. And you get to shower. Yeah. It could win an Emmy. It's been winning Emmys.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Oh, I wanted to win an Emmy.
Trisha Paytas
Are you going to go? Do they get to. They all get to go. Right. Because the queens get to go for Drag Race.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So it depends who gets invited. I, hopefully I will get invited. If not, you'll see me from the street screaming, it's Liza.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I feel like the four, like the four year consideration, like DVD or whatever, it has to be that scene that's like the highlight.
Trisha Paytas
You should accept the award because to me that was the best part.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I should go into the thing and say it's traitors. So for Survivor, I went for the Emmy. I went to the Emmys.
Trisha Paytas
You did.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Because my season of Survivor was the first season of Survivor to be nominated for best show in 14 years.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Wow.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And I think that's why Carolyn and I got also like invited to do other stuff because our season was such a big impact on the culture of Survivor.
Trisha Paytas
That's huge.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So it wasn't. Yeah. For 14 years, not a nomination. We got nominated. So I won. Then last year, he got nominated again after our season. So it was like two years after. Wow. But Now Traders is taking everything and.
Trisha Paytas
So this might be the one again for you.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
We get nominated. The two shows I've done were nominated. That's everything.
Trisha Paytas
It is like had me nominated, basically. I feel like you should all get the right. They all get the nomination. If it's the casters. Yes. You really are. You are. If you could do any other reality show watch, would you do.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I always said I wanted to do Dancing with the Stars, but that's.
Trisha Paytas
You're gonna do that. That's obvious.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Imagine me dancing there.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Are you a dancer?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I have a good rhythm. I don't have the cardio. I would need to like, work on it.
Trisha Paytas
But first of all, you went on Survivor and didn't eat for 42 days. That's pretty impressive. I think you can do the cardio.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But the burst of energies on Survivor is very like, little. It's like 15 minutes of energy.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Dancer starts in a minute.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Oh, there you go.
Trisha Paytas
You know what I mean? You just have to do a little.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Weeks of calisthenics and stuff. Okay, I'll do it. I'll do it.
Trisha Paytas
I feel like that's a. A very easy transition.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Most people who do Traders imagine they say jam.
Trisha Paytas
Jam.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Doing the st.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
That was perfect.
Trisha Paytas
That's beautiful. Oh my God. That's going to be actually so amazing. I see it for you. Dancing the Stars will be the one for.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Maybe you'll both be on the same season.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Oh my God. Also trying to get on that next season of it. So I would love.
Trisha Paytas
Cuz you are just such a vibe. You have just such like a good vibe. And like watching Traders, it's about having fun.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
What's the point on going on this show and not having fun? I wish I had more fun at the beginning, but I think by the end of it and now I'm having fun with everything.
Trisha Paytas
That's Michael Rappaport's fault, clearly, right? Like, no, but that's not fair. That is not fair. That's why everyone should get a redo. Everyone who was like, like in that season, like, they should all get a redo because it's like he ruined it. Like, he ruined it. Like, I think that's grounds right away for like, like elimination. If you, like make fun of someone's like, name or the way they pronounce it. You know what I mean?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Wouldn't have been a great opportunity for him to redeem his image and just be fun and do like crazy things and not do that stuff. But that's not about what he does sometimes.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Can't teach the old dog new trick. No, I was, I. I was excited. I feel all this. How long you in LA for?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I'm going to be in la, cuz, until Sunday.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. Are you going to, like, do a little vacation trip? Are you gonna do anything special while you're here?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Because Valentine's is on Saturday, but your husband's not here. He's here.
Trisha Paytas
He's in the hotel here, but it's not here.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
My dog. Yeah, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, you brought your dog.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I brought my dog. He was like, take you with you. I was like, no, I'm not gonna bring my dog without you.
Trisha Paytas
That's kind of cute, though.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Oh, my God, that's.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, cute. What's his name?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Kaiser. He's a guy Kaiser. He's black and white. And because Carl Lagerfeld from Chanel, he was named the Kaiser of fashion. So my husband is a fashion designer. The dog is black and white. Carl was black and white. So he's guys.
Trisha Paytas
Well, this is a Valentine's Day episode where you guys can do for Valentine's Day.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Who's your valentine? Yeah, I have to do something, so you let me know what I can do.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Oh, you don't have anything planned yet here.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And it's our boyfriend asking anniversary. I don't know what's that called?
Trisha Paytas
Oh, on Valentine. Yeah, I celebrate that too. Boyfriend asking anniversary. That's what it's called.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Gay boyfriend asking anniversary. Yes.
Trisha Paytas
I love that. No, but there is those anniversaries. Like, I remember that the day I was asked to be a girlfriend, I was like, August 1st when we met, March 14th when we got engaged, December 18th when we got married.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You like celebrating every single anniversary?
Trisha Paytas
Yes.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And you get gifts every single anniversary.
Trisha Paytas
We stopped at the beginning. Yes. Yeah, at the beginning. At the beginning. Here's the thing.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
My husband wants jewelry.
Trisha Paytas
Okay, that's easy.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Then for a gift unnecessarily, jewelry. Love it always. That would be the number one option.
Trisha Paytas
Yes, that's easy.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
At the anniversary. And I'm like, well, we need to consolidate them. This is like too many holidays.
Trisha Paytas
Right? You do have to. Right. Because then it does become a little. Literally, this Valentine's Day is like, just get me nothing. Because, like, it has been six years of getting gifts every year, four times a year. So jewelry is good, though, because at least that's something you can know they'll like. As opposed to, like. My husband doesn't, like, return. Oh, they does.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
He return. Sometimes he goes back and changes, and then he wants me to be there at the jewelry store, all happy.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, you're like, but it's okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You know, it is what it is.
Trisha Paytas
How long have you been married?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
We've been married five years, Dating seven years in July now, which is a lot. Wow.
Trisha Paytas
That is a very long time. Did you get married? 2021.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
We got married in Covid. 2021.
Trisha Paytas
Wow. Yeah, we did, too. And they had the face masks. All the guests had it. And I was like, okay, this looks.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Crazy in photos, but we got married in the pool of a big hotel in Puerto Rico, and there were, like, four cabanas, like, in the little, like, nicer area of the pool. And then we put, like, my family in one, my work friends in one. It was only 16 people, my college friends in one. And then, like, so we divided and, you know, like, distance and stuff. With COVID Yeah. There were no vaccines yet, but it was.
Trisha Paytas
You had to get them married. Oh, my God. You're a Puerto Rican icon. You should have been in the casita at super bowl.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Oh, I thought so. I should have been, like, a sleeping with Jessica Alba and Cardi B. And Carol G. I don't know.
Trisha Paytas
They didn't ask you?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I haven't met. I haven't met bad Bonnie. But we do have a lot of people that we work in common with.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, really? Oh. So it's only a matter of time. Did you love the super bowl performance?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I cried.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I was in Mexico City watching it, and we went to a Hooters, and it was super packed. They made us see with another people, like, in another table with people, which is fine. I love that first time it happened. I hope it's gonna happen again.
Trisha Paytas
Hooters will do that. Do you know, they definitely will be, like, everyone squished together. Okay. But that's crazy.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I started to cry because even though it's not me, I got to do Survivor and I got to do Traders, being Puerto Rican and being one of the few people and do whatever I did with the shows. So I was like, this dude is doing it, like, in a way that it's obviously magnified and so powerful and the number one in the world right now. And I was like, yeah, go. You go, bad bunny. You go, Benito. You do it for us. So, yeah, I got really emotional. It was really special.
Trisha Paytas
It was. Yeah. It was, like, so beautiful and so impactful.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It was so tasteful, the way he incorporated everything about that's going on without being, you know, to in your face, which would have been understood. But I thought it was great and just the education.
Trisha Paytas
We were saying like, like the stuff I didn't know about Puerto Rico. Right. Like there was the. Everyone showing the Easter eggs of it of like, you know, the electricity and the power outage. I like didn't know about all that stuff. And it was crazy. It's cool because it was so beautiful to watch. It was very. To me, I love theatrical ness and it was cool. And then getting to learn about Puerto Rico too. When you don't know that much about it.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
If you don't have a power generator in your house, you what are you doing? Because it's like the power goes out constantly. It's. It's bad and it shouldn't be like that.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I just, I. I'm not. I've been once to Puerto Rico. Loved it. You know what I did? I swam, you know in like the, you know, the rivers where it like glows.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
What is that?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
The biofluorescent base?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I was doing that.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It's beautiful. Puerto Rico has three different biobilumescent water bodies.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Which is very rare. There's not a lot in the world. And we have like three of them in different colors.
Trisha Paytas
It was crazy.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So when you, you move your hand, it glows like if you're like in Avatar or something.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. That's what it was giving.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
It was crazy because you go out and like pitch black. It's like so dark and you're just like, are you sure there's gonna be something out there? And then once you get out there, it's like so beautiful. We went to go see Lynn do Hamilton down there. He was raising money for hurricane. So we like went and did that. Yeah. So it was cool. It was very. It is very pretty down there. It's very cool.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It's amazing. I went to see that play with Lin Manuel.
Trisha Paytas
Did you?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
We were probably at the same time.
Trisha Paytas
Place at the same time.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah. In that theater. Yeah. It was fun.
Trisha Paytas
Was it January of 2018?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I went twice. Yeah, it was January. I think Oprah win like Clinton's went like a lot of people. You went icons on the about Oprah when Trisha is there.
Trisha Paytas
I really got into it.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I saw you.
Trisha Paytas
No, I think I saw you. I had a bedazzled Hamilton jacket with a Puerto Rico bag.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It might be crazy.
Trisha Paytas
Could you imagine?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You were very extra there, right?
Trisha Paytas
Yes, I have a dazzled wanting.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
No, but like in a good way.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Cuz then after Lynn did like a little like oh hey, thanks everyone for coming. And he shout. He's like, I See you, Trisha. Because I was obsessed with Hamilton, you.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Know, I would have loved to seen.
Trisha Paytas
Him in the casita too. Cuz he's married to me. I knew about. What is it? Puas. Is that what they're called?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
What?
Trisha Paytas
Paraguas.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Faragas.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. I know about them from in the height so when I saw it in the Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Paraguas is like umbrella but p. Aguas. Yeah. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
Trisha Paytas
No, I'm sorry. I'm butchering it. I love language. Language and culture. But I am not like good at languages. I need to be better. I would love to learn Spanish. I have a Spanish song, but it's. It's. Yeah, I did a little Spanish freaky. That is the backup anyway. But I. I love. I love culture. I have no culture, so I love culture.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
What's the point about life like in the world? Everything is so amazing and so like variety of everything. Just enjoy everything.
Trisha Paytas
And after the super bowl everyone was just like woo. You know, everyone's just not everyone, but you know, most people.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Even Madonna doing the little white girl salsa dancing. No, Madonna. Oh my God, Lady Gaga. She tried and people were amazing. You know, the guy that did that dress did not know that she was gonna wear it. And he was like watching it in his house and when the crowd moves and she's wearing the dress. His name is Raul, his brand is Lua. Are he starts.
Trisha Paytas
That's the dress. That's the dress.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You imagine doing a dress. He didn't know she was gonna wear it for the.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, he probably was so gay. Oh yeah. That is kind of everything.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I love when stuff like that happens in life. Like. Like really look like you work for something and then you see it and then you're like, ah.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. It's probably such a cool moment to see any desire to do acting or singing or anything beyond this.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I would love to, but I don't even.
Trisha Paytas
I don't even.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I don't even know what that looks like.
Trisha Paytas
You have an age. Are you with a manager? You must have a management.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I have a manager that does all like my contacts and stuff. She wanted to be here. She's a super fan of your.
Trisha Paytas
She loves you.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
She's in Arizona because she had to work. She told me she want to do mukbang with you.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, bring her back. Bring her back. We'll do one all together. That'd be so much fun.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
She plays Survivor with me. She got six plays. Her name is Jamie.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, and she's your manager.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah. Because I was like, I don't trust anyone.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So she reviews all my contact, all my contracts, and she answers all my emails. When I went on Trader, she was like, like on control of my social media.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, wow.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You know, you don't. When I went on Traders, I didn't tell anyone.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, you can't.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
No, I did. I've heard of people that, like, if, you know I was on it, you want to be on it. And you was like, jam, jam. What should I do when I go there? I was like, I did not do that. I just told my husband, I told her, and then I told two people from work like a week before I went.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And because she was such a confidant during that process, then that's how she turned out to be, like, everything with the contracts and stuff.
Trisha Paytas
Wow, that's amazing that you, like, found her that way. Because they announced the cast before you go on, right? Did they not?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
They announced it after we're there.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, after.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
So when the plane lands.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Oh.
Trisha Paytas
Cause as I'm preparing, I'm hoping one day to be asked to be on Traders. I always wonder that too. I was like, if I show up in Scotland, are people gonna be like, oh, that's Trish coming to Scotland. She goes, be on Traders. Right.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I don't know how they did it last season because they just put the names. But when we got there. Cause they put our video of us in our first date outfits in our season. Oh, okay. So I guess they record that. And when we're there because we don't have a cell phone or anything, that's when they release it. Oh.
Trisha Paytas
First day of.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Okay. Because they don't want it to be spoiled. I guess Peacock wants, like, all the promotion and all the, like, engagement with their page.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So that's when our names and pictures were released by Ellen, which was amazing.
Trisha Paytas
That's so cool. What a cool experience at all. Why is he so much? Are you based in New York now? Are you in Puerto Rico now or.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I live in Puerto Rico. I'm Mexico. And then I traveled to New York a lot and then la. Of course, now I'm closer.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But no, I own a hair salon in Puerto Rico. Oh, my God.
Trisha Paytas
I had no idea.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah, that's my background.
Trisha Paytas
Wait, are you a hair stylist? Were you a hairstylist?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I did study to be a hairstylist, but it's a family tradition.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So. But I do own my own hair salon since 2011.
Trisha Paytas
Wow.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
We're the Best.
Trisha Paytas
What's the hair salon order? Do you want to ask?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It's called Miranda Beauty.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yes. It's amazing. It's like we are. I say we are the best nail salon in Puerto Rico. And obviously we have amazing stylists. But I'm really proud of my nail salon too. Too. Yeah. With the barber nails, hair, lashes.
Trisha Paytas
But that is everything. That's everything.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But my nine nail techs, just eight girls and one boy, they are the best.
Trisha Paytas
I love it.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
God, you would love it. And I see you're like, you like a good friend.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
I do.
Trisha Paytas
A little thick. It's very, like old school. Millennial. I know.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It's very trending now. And now it's also trending. If you like the duck bill, like, a little wider.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I know a duck bill. He's had the whitest duck bills in the world. I love a duck bill.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But now he's coming back. Back. Thank God.
Trisha Paytas
I loved it. People told me it was so ugly and I was like, no, this is.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Like, no, but I'm just saying it's coming back. I know what people like more because if you want, you know, if you want. What do you have? This is it builder. What is it? Acrylic, Gel X. Gel X. But they cure it in the. In the lab. So I love when they ask for more. Like if you ship a nail or you want like chrome or you want like Aurora or whatever, or like cat eye. And if you want a Doug blue, we need to put a tip and everything. Like, it's like custom made nail. I love it because it just keep adding to that ticket.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Just as much as possible. Yeah. Oh, they always say that to me. They're like, it's $5. I'm like, every finger, please. Every finger. Because that's like one thing I think people always splurge on. Like, no matter what is like, you want a good nail. You know what I mean?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Cause you cannot take them off.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So you need to have a good job.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. And they last. Unlike makeup and stuff. It washes off. Like, nails will last for a couple weeks, a month or whatever.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Who does your nail?
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I mean, I just go to, like the mall.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Really?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Come to Puerto Rico.
Trisha Paytas
I would love just to get my nails, lashes, everything like that. I would love. No, I really, I really enjoyed it. I went with the worst. Not the worst person, but not a great person. And I was like, I wish I could go back and like, enjoy it. Like such a great way.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You would enjoy it with us. It's a party. It's a party.
Trisha Paytas
I hit you up.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You know how, like, most salons are, like, all white and very, like, aesthetic? No, we are a party. We have neons on the walls. We have, like, music loud all the time. There's a bar next door and a restaurant that serves us.
Trisha Paytas
Wait, you mean you get, like, food while you're getting your nails done?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah, anything you want.
Trisha Paytas
That's the dream. Oh, my gosh.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You can even get your car wash if you want someone and wash your car.
Trisha Paytas
Okay, I'm coming. You're selling it.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But we have, we're, like, one block from the beach, so it's, like, really, really fun.
Trisha Paytas
The beaches were really beautiful there. I, I, we were in January, so it was, like, kind of, like, rainy, or maybe it's always rainy. I don't know. But, like, it was beautiful.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It is rainy in January.
Trisha Paytas
I love.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But it's okay because it comes and goes.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It doesn't rain the whole day.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. I love rain. I'm like someone who avoids sun usually. I'm like, not for anything other than, like, heaping hot. And so, like, I love a little rain. You know what I mean?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
We have a good ac. Don't worry.
Trisha Paytas
Jim. Yeah. You're iconic in every single way. I'm so happy. I, like, was so gagged when you, like, responded to my dm, because I feel like I DM people, and I hear about that, like, a year later, they're like, okay, I'll come to the podcast. I was like, well, I'd love to, like, know now in the moment, because I'm so into the show as everybody, and I do feel like you're gonna be back definitely on Traitors. I feel like Dancing with the Stars, for sure. That's, like, a given.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And then from your mouth to God's ears, we're manifester.
Trisha Paytas
Well, you're a real manifester. You said you're gonna win Survivor and did.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And on trailers it happens the same thing. I was like, I wanna get at least halfway. I wanna wear my banquet outfit. And I wanna. If I get to be eliminated on the game, I don't want it to be in the confessional room. Oh, and the three things happen on the same episode.
Trisha Paytas
That's pretty powerful. You really should have been like, I'm winning. Traders, throw that in there.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Because I.
Trisha Paytas
And they're like, oh, he made it halfway. It's done. The manifestation's done. So next time, next time, I'm manifesting.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Being an All Stars and you'll be there and you'll be there.
Trisha Paytas
I would love.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So you have to do this season.
Trisha Paytas
Yes.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So we can do it down.
Trisha Paytas
I've been trying. I've been trying since, like, season one. I'm like, how can I get.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I thought you were gonna be there.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. I wish I put the rumors out myself. I'm like, how you do that to stardom?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah. I'm the publicist. We kind of just make up and then see what happens.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
And very much like, I saw TMZ at the airport. Like, I'm doing a big show this fall, and everyone's like, Trisha and Dancing with the Stars. I was like, no, I wasn't.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But I was like, I saw that. When you interviewed Gabby, you said you also wanted to do Dance with the Stars, but it's the same people I know.
Trisha Paytas
And actually, I won't say the casting name, but the woman that does the head casting, she always like, oh, your name keeps popping up. I'm like, well, get it in there.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Hello.
Trisha Paytas
Hello.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Hello. Lower your fee, girl. Lower your fee.
Trisha Paytas
I have no fee. My fee is free. I'll pay to be there. I will pay to be there.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
There you go. You heard it for. I got you a deal.
Trisha Paytas
My agency ta are like, no, no. But I would. I would love. It's such a fun experience, and it just looks. It looks like the best time ever. And you become a superstar, and people.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Get to know you are a superstar. You bring your superpower to the show. That's why this show, I think it keeps growing and growing and growing because these people just want to go have fun. Like, would you have imagined, like, Lisa, Rina, Donna, Kelsey, Monet, me there.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
What?
Trisha Paytas
You look at the list, and you're like, this is odd. Yeah, but it was fun. But like you said, it could have been more entertaining. More entertaining people besides yourself.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
We had a lot of fun, but they have a story to tell.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. And that is the traitors of it all. Any final questions? Oscar, I loved it. This is great.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I do have one that's kind of tea, though. And to go back really quick, though, when I know Jeff at one point said, like, anyone. Any Survivor contestant who did traitors wouldn't come back on Survivor. But he kind of walked it back.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Right.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Like, is that kind of what you heard? Like, now? He wouldn't just.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Well, Jeff cannot do anything wrong in the world. He's amazing.
Trisha Paytas
Who's Jeff?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Jeff Prose, the host of the show. He's the ep. He does. He's like the main. The head of the show. We Love, Jeff. But here's the thing. I was there. He did said that in an interview. That was before I got contacted to the trailers. And then I went to an event in New York which was the premiere of season 48, and he said that he would let people do Survivor back again. But maybe he was just talking about Stephanie and Cerie since they are on season 50. And Seri was in the crowd that day. But I just think it makes the show better if you let people go in and out to do other shows because you cross pollinate the viewers. Like all the trailers, viewers that love Seri since they're gonna go and watch Survivor 50.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yes. That's who saw Parvati are gonna go. You know, if poverty does something else or like all the gays who love you are gonna go follow. You know, the Bravo gays will come to cbs, so.
Trisha Paytas
And I never watched Survivor ever. But I love you.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You need to see Survivor 44.
Trisha Paytas
I would go. I watched the clips, but I would watch it if you got back on it. You know what I mean? So it is getting like a new audience. I feel like you do have this whole new audience that like loves you just for you being on the traitors. And then when I found out you're lore and that you were like a winner, I was like, oh, my God. A winner is every time you say.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I was a winner, I love like, wait.
Trisha Paytas
But that is insane to win Survivor is insane to survive.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
More than 800 people have played Survivor and there's only been 47 winners or like 48 winners.
Trisha Paytas
You guys should do one of those group photos, like class pictures, like in for Vanity Fair where you're all like on stairs and you're like, here's all the winners of it. Are they all still alive?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah, they're all still alive.
Trisha Paytas
No, I mean, that's no disrespect.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I think only, like 12 Survivor players have died.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, they were older in the beginning.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yeah. A lot of people.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, it was a long time.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Two of the ones on the first season, three on the first season and.
Trisha Paytas
That there was one from my hometown. His name was George. Was maybe his big brother was there. Chicken George. I don't know.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Chicken George is from big Brother.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. He was from town. That's all I know.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
He played all stars. Big brother too, I think. Okay, well, was season one Chicken George?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
I think one of those really early ones.
Trisha Paytas
I love that. You know, big brother too. So you're watching.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I love. I used to watch all of it, but then you go on it and you don't want to watch it, really? Wait, why traumatizing? Cuz you start thinking, I was like, well, that probably didn't happen like that. That, well, they probably didn't show the other part of it. And then you start comparing yourself. Because if when I watch these shows or when I watch anything, I like to disconnect. If not, I'll go watch the news.
Trisha Paytas
Right, right, right. You want the entertainment of it all.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So watching this show is just giving me trauma.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Too much?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
And what do you do in your, like, spare time?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Well, my husband has every very busy schedule for me, so normally I'm doing a lot of stuff in the house. I like to travel a lot. I like taking care of my plants. I have a little garden. I'm very proud of my basil plant. Oh, okay. Basically, it's easy to maintain. So I like putting a lot of love into it. Cause it gives me like, really, like a love back.
Trisha Paytas
He loves a basil and a mint.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I love it when it multiplies and multiplies. And the little. The little kids or whatever.
Trisha Paytas
Do you put on your pizza? Like, what do you do with the basil? You cook with it?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I give it away. Cause I have so much. I put it with stippling bags and I give it. It's for love to people.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. More of that.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And then I love hanging out. I live in Osan Juana, and I live very close to, like, the main action of, like, the nightlife.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And I like having fun, dancing, drinking, talking to people. Oh, there's nothing better.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I just like love. I think you have such a good energy. I feel like so many people need to be more like you. Just pure, enjoying life. Because at the end of the day, right, like, life is short. And it's like, what is the point of life?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Life?
Trisha Paytas
It's to live it. And I feel like you're living it to the fullest.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And I love that we have to. And I think you're also a very good example of everything you do and the way you look always. Right. Like, it's so amazing to be here with you. You, of course.
Trisha Paytas
Thank you.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It's like, I want to be like you.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I want to be like you.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Even though I'm older, but I want to be like you when you grow.
Trisha Paytas
I think you are. You think? You'd be surprised.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I'm 39.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. I'm 38. Dish.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I'm going to be 40 this summer.
Trisha Paytas
Are you so excited, though?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
What should I do?
Trisha Paytas
Oh, go big. Well, you already go big. I don't know. How much bigger can you go? Like you're literally doing everything, traveling the world, all this stuff like that. You gotta go big. I'm so excited for my 40s, my 30s. How was your. My 30s was the best decade ever.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I love my 20s, but obviously I did Survivor and everything at 35. But 26 was my best year in life. Do you have an age when you go like. I feel like I'm already. I'm always this age. Because mine is like 26.
Trisha Paytas
Because that was your best year ever.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I feel like I just found myself. I felt cute, I felt pretty. I was like having everything I needed.
Trisha Paytas
Would you go back to 26 or at 35 when you just.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
If I went back to 26 with everything I know now it's over.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I would be like President of the United States. Anybody can be president. Obviously you should run.
Trisha Paytas
Honestly, it'd be kind of everything. Yeah, I just, I loved my 30s. I hated my 20s, hated my. But I wish I could be young in my head. I. I'm 18. I'm like, I'm so young. Like I feel like Gen Z. But my best year was probably last year at 37. I loved being 37. It was great. Every year gets.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I feel like once you grasp of how amazing you felt at a certain point in your life and you carry that energy even when you're not feeling okay. I feel like that helps a lot like to deal with.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Just to like.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I just. Yeah. But I just want to celebrate and I'm okay with being, you know, 39, almost 40, even though I dye my beard.
Trisha Paytas
You look amazing. I would never have guessed. I would have never guessed. And I was like, wow, that's amazing.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Like a little white here.
Trisha Paytas
Oh my God. Oh, a little.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You know, but you don't want to. I don't want to look like Santa Claus, you know, So I dye my beard.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, really? It looks really good. It looks amazing. I love everything. The hair, the vibes. You're always just looking to look at your on vacation. I like that so much.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I love that.
Trisha Paytas
It's a good vibe. Any advice to wannabe survivor or trader players? Game players. People run reality tv. How do they be a star? How do they.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
A winner, be yourself. I feel like when you are not faking who you are and you're not trying to be anybody else else, that's when you are the most successful. Yeah. And people in a game, this is, this is normally for everything in life. But in a game, when you are trying to do something else that is not 100% who you are. It comes across as fake, and then it just brings people not to trust you.
Trisha Paytas
So great advice.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Just be yourself. Be out there. Go for it. And if people are going into casting and stuff, just scream your name out loud before you go into an interview. Dance around, dance to your favorite song, get a shot, and just, you know, be a little extra if you drink.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I thought you meant like a shot in the arm.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
No, like a shot. Like a tequila shot. Because a lot of people get into their head, I was like, oh, my God, this is what they want. No, they don't want anything. They just want whoever who you are.
Trisha Paytas
That's good advice for life, too. Even if they're not going casting, just be yourself. It's like a dating, right?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Like dating and everything.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Be yourself.
Podcast Co-host or Guest (possibly Moses or another collaborator)
Yeah, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
We found love around the same age, too. It's like, you know, What'd you say?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Be slutty.
Trisha Paytas
What?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Slutty.
Trisha Paytas
Maybe in your twenties, in your thirties. Be slutty, whatever.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I mean, depending on how long you've been single.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. Yeah. Some people want to do that forever until their 50s.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
If it works. It works.
Trisha Paytas
How'd you give it up? Were you ever that? Did you ever have a phase of that?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
No, I never. My husband was my first boyfriend. Not my first, you know, but my first boyfriend. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Mine didn't. Do I always say that about my husband, too? I'm like, I never lived with a guy, a boyfriend or anything like that. So he was kind of my first boyfriend, too.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It's cool because we grew up to know each other and mature and it's. When you get in a relationship, whatever. Is the reason you get into a relationship first? Is it, like attraction or physicalness or whatever? You're looking into it. If you develop love and admiration for the other person, it grows into another thing that can't stand time.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. So with all the ups and downs and slowness and highness and how's your husband dealing with your fame?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
He was a little annoyed at first, I'm not gonna lie. But the good thing is, in Puerto Rico, people don't watch. So people didn't even know.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, it's not on.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It is on, but people don't watch it, I guess. Like, it's not part of the big networks in Puerto Rico because we have, like, Telemundo and other stuff in Puerto Rico. But now he's getting. He likes it because a lot of my clothes is hit. Is. So he gets also a lot of, like, Followers and stuff. And, like, he's enjoying more of the access of what we're getting.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
For his business.
Trisha Paytas
You're the canvas. You know what I mean? Like, and you look so good. The first thing I said when I saw you was like, oh, this is you. You, the way you dress is beautiful. You have the pink socks and the shoes and the lilac. No, I'm. We're kicking each other.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I need to. I, I, I get all my socks from TEMU in every single color.
Trisha Paytas
What's that?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Oh, Liv, that's a good disposable. Oh. What? It's like.
Trisha Paytas
What do you mean? Oh, really? Are they biodegradable?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
No, but if I.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
If they get dirty or they, like, they are not the color they're supposed to be, I don't feel as bad as, you know.
Trisha Paytas
Right, right, right.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
You are a millionaire.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
That's how you are.
Trisha Paytas
Is that how you win Survivor? You get a million dollars?
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You get a million dollars on Survivor?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
No, Well, I mean, there's other stuff. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Okay.
Trisha Paytas
But they should give you a million. Walk away.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I would, I would imagine, but still.
Trisha Paytas
You want a million dollars.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
They've been giving a millions of dollars since 2000. By inflation, it should be a million 75. If they have followed inflation, it should.
Trisha Paytas
Be like 10 million.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I feel it should be like.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, yeah, 10 million.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
At least 2. I mean, 10 is good, but 2 million would have been.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, Chef's kiss. Right, Right.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Well, Jeff, get 2 million for Survivor 50.
Trisha Paytas
You can get the 10 million. Yeah, yeah. Or for whatever season you're on because.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah, we'll save it for you. Save the two minutes.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)

Yeah, that's what you should do.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)

Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Some point, but we need 20 winners. I don't know if we could get 20 winners.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)

Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Recycle and what is the other word?
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Reuse, reduce, Reuse, recycle.
Trisha Paytas
If you're already in season 50, I mean, and it's season 40 that they did it. So, like, if you're at season 50, you got 10 more seasons. That's five more.

Trisha Paytas
Oh, yeah, like, like a helping hand. They have water bottles on the island.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
We get water bottles, but we restock them. Like we refill them from the water well and the water will have like bugs in it or like dead lizards.
Trisha Paytas
That's so crazy that the show exists. It's so crazy.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And then the people want to go on it and dream years to be on it. What? No, it's amazing.
Trisha Paytas
It's so insane.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But it's a freaking fantasy to go play Survivor and Traitors. Anything that is like totally immersed. Not necessarily Big Brother. Her doing Big Brother is horrible.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. That was psychological warfare in there. Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So. Cause Seri that won Traitors and has done Survivor a lot and she did Big Brother to you years ago.
Trisha Paytas

Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And she said is the worst out of everything she's done. Yeah, she got to like episode. Like the last episode she was like on fifth place. So she did like 98 days. She said it was the most horrible thing. And she has done Survivor five times. She did Australian Survivor. She did Traders, Snake in the Grass. She's done it all.
Trisha Paytas
And she made it though.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
She needs to do Amazing Race and then she got like the trifecta.
Trisha Paytas
Oh my gosh. Next for her. I'm sure that will happen. For sure. That's crazy. 98 days crazy. I self evicted after 10 days. It's like out. Bye.

Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So it's, it's. They're just not showing it. But it's it's really cool.
Trisha Paytas
He played your social game on Survivors. I'm just gonna be nice to everybody.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
He's a Survivor fan. He wanted to do Survivor before doing anything else.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Makes sense for him because he's like, you know, always in the river catching snakes and stuff.
Trisha Paytas
Right, Right. Yes.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
So he wanted to do Survivor. I think they reached out to him and he said no. But that's. That was after Lova Thailand and now it would be impossible for him to do Survivor and the good. Because now he's too popular.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Like, if you go there, you have to go with other, like, celebrities. If not. If you're just a target celebrity Survivor, that'd be good.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
You're on there.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Will you do it?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Yeah. But if you can come on, like, you.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And they should do like half players and then have celebrities or do teams or, I don't know, be you, me.
Trisha Paytas
And Mike White up there.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Just, oh, my weight is on 50.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Let's see how good he does.
Trisha Paytas
I love that he's on there. Like, he's so, like famous and rich and has like the biggest show. He's like, I'm gonna go do Survivor again.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
He did Amazing Race twice with his dad. Oh, his dad is also gay, which is like, really cool. And he did Survivor. He got third place, I think. Or second place his season, which is really impressive.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Wow.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And now he's on 50, I don't think. I don't know what happens.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
But I'm sure they're not gonna let him last a lot.
Podcast Co-host (possibly a friend or collaborator of Trisha)
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Like, I'm sure they're going to vote him out.
Trisha Paytas
He also probably doesn't want to either. Cuz he probably doesn't want to, like, take that money away from somebody. Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Really?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
I don't want to take anybody away from anyone.
Trisha Paytas
Makes like 10 million tens of millions of dollars off white lives 100 million. I don't know.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
You won the title.
Trisha Paytas
That's true. I guess you could donate it or give it. Give it to the people.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
Well, the guy that won Survivor before me donated the million.
Trisha Paytas
Wow.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
And imagine because they film Survivor back to back, so they filmed 43, and then two weeks after they filmed mine, so I knew I won. Imagine watching the season before me, which is season 43. I already know I won. And then this guy Mike Gabler wins and says, I'm donating my million dollars. And I'm like, not this mother. Saying he donated the million right before I'm supposed to win my million. Hell no, dude. Why you did that to me? And Then. Then when I won, everybody was like, what are you going? So, what are you gonna do with your million?
Trisha Paytas
I'm keeping it. Honestly. Same. I'm like, I have an expensive lifestyle. Oh, yeah. Same, same. I'm like, I got kids that's going to the kids. That's why you want.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
It's for the future. It's for the future.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. There's other ways to raise money, but keep that money that you want on.
Jam Jam (Survivor and Traitors winner)
