Reverse the Curse
The finale is here, and with it comes a photo finish immunity challenge, an Etsy purchase that paid off in a BIG way, a colossal live tv blunder, and a very deserving and satisfying winner. We're here to break it all down and say goodbye as we lock up the podcasting doors on That's How You Do It!

Inconceivable
We're coming in hot with some zags for this season's penultimate episode. While it was back to back eliminations, they were fairly straight forward. But that doesn't mean we don't have lots to predict about the finale including a winshare ranking AND boot order, plus we task ourselves with a…

Everyone Will Be Shooketh!
The fallout from the MrBeast Super Beware Advantage barely has time to settle when we have an even MORE impactful twist this week with the double elimination paired with an immunity win that grants Jonathan the ability to cast a vote at BOTH mini tribal councils. How every single idol didn't get...

A Side Dish of Chaos
We're bringing the chaos as well this week with a late night recording recapping this exciting episode of Season 10! The final celebrity cameo is here and Mr. Beast does not dissapoint with the super beware advantage. A lot of players taking the gloves off this week and we've got lots of flowers...

I Deserve All Of This
The twists keep coming, and as Ozzy said, we haven't seen the last of them. This week we're breaking down Christian's meteoric rise (some are saying he's the GOAT), and his downfall this episode at the ends of the Jimmunity Fallonge and puzzle journey gone awry. Was the die already cast, or did…

Double the Fun, Double the Demise
Double the podcast recaps! We're back after our week off to discuss both Episode 7 and 8 of Season 50. The aftermath of the Blood Moon has been excellent with big swings from Coach, blunders from Dee, and an unprecented twist in the Duo Double Elimination! We unpack it all and more in this...
-
Blood Moon
Ethan's in Chicago, Charlie's in Pittsburgh, three people are going home, up is down, black is white IT'S THE BLOOD MOON! Our audio quality may be worse, but the content is better than ever as we go over the strategic highs and Genevieve lows of the latest episode!

Open Wounds

The Rizgod and his women, Charlie's fall from grace, Angelina's inevitability, and Coach's erection....
-
Knife to the Heart
Episode 4 brings us a celebrity cameo that no one asked for, far too much fishing, a Liz-style rant from Ethan, and 10 minutes of glorious pre-tribal strategizing and scrambling. Let's dive in!
-
Did You Vote For a Swap?
It's time for a swap and apparently...a rap? Also we've got good players making sloppy moves, and messy players going clean on this Freaky Friday episode analysis!

Living the Survivor Dream
It's finale recap time: spoilers ahead! Queen stays Queen as we celebrate Dee's victory in what is arguably the most dominant performance of a winner from the new era. We try our best to break down Katurah's cold feet at final 5, Jake's emotional arc, and the power of having two #1s this deep in...
-
The Ex-Girlfriend at the Wedding
It's the penultimate episode of Season 45 and much like the budding romance between Dee and Austin, things are HEATING UP! Can Jake turn things around now that he's found an idol and talks in the third person? Why did Katurah tell Dee the plan to vote Drew? And will anyone be able to target the...
-
This Game Rips Your Heart Out
We finally did it: a podcast episode longer than the air time of the actual episode! There is so much to unpack this week with one of the most open and honest games we've ever seen played by a final 7. The big moves to examine are Drew's attempt to take out a fellow Reba, Austin's decision to…
more -
How Am I The Mobster?
One of the more emotional episodes of Survivor we've seen from the new era, but your hosts do not waver! Join Ethan and Charlie as they look at Emily's two big moves of the episode: the reward challenge brings and the Bruce "blindside." Plus, should Bruce have played his idol? Shot his shot? Can...
-
Sword of Damocles
Our bellies are full of poultry this week, much like Julie, Bruce, and Kendra, but the pod must go on! It's a bit of a calm before a potential storm as we examine the 3x3x3 split for Immunity, Jeff stealing too many votes, Dee and Drew needing to stay hungry, the leveling-war once Bruce is...
-
Following a Dead Horse to Water
WOAH! Sorry, I mean woah, The Survivor Auction returns!!! Did they effectively fix this broken part of the game? Is there are anything redeemable about Bruce? What paths are left for the remaining Belo players now that Emily and the Rebas have taken control of the game? And what paths are left…
more -
The Thorn In My Thumb
We made the merge!!! And with it comes more juicy Brucey drama (and if he should have played his idol), a double elimination, Jake's big move, why it didn't work for Katurah, and a lone Kellie sitting atop Charlie's official power rankings! Find us on X: ThatsHowYouPOD
-
I'm Not Batman, I'm The Canadian
It's mergatory time with the most iconic, epic tribal council we've ever seen in the history of our podcast! This week, Ethan and Charlie are talking about the poor post-merge approaches, why in the world Reba was targeting J, who should have thrown a stray vote, and of course the "shot" heard...

-
I Don't Want to Be the Worm
Strap in, folks, because Charlie has 22 pages of notes! While it's been a slow start to the season, there's tons of (sloppy) gameplay to unpack this week, with Drew's rejection of Brando's "Nerd Alliance," the secret of the Sifu vote, J offering to fall on her sword, sitting out Kellie from the...
-
Music To My Ears
The first swap of the new era? The second person to quit this season? The third time Sifu has said something incredibly bizarre? This episode may not exactly be "the burger we want" but we're still excited to talk about everything that happened, specifically the brokenness of swaps and some…
more -
No Man Left Behind
The best first three episode arc in Survivor history!? We think so! The fall and rise of Emily in the past three episodes is incredible, and we're here to break down everything that just happened including our takes on new advantages and game mechanics, Drew's stock falling, and Dee's stock…

We Can Do Hard Things
New Name! New Logo! Same delirious banter! Ethan and Charlie are back with the first episode of Season 45 and while the ending left much to be desired, there's still plenty to discuss: the new savvy/sweat challenge, The Lulu tribe falling apart on day 1, an all-new beware advantage, and more.…

Claim to Fame S2 E1-E4
Ethan has somehow convinced Charlie to join him in the muck in exploring some summer reality tv! We're taking a look at the very entertaining and very flawed "Claim to Fame" currently airing on ABC/Hulu. There's a kernel of a nugget of a good game in this mess of a show, can the boys find it? How...
-
Absolute Banger Season
The title doesn't lie: this really did turn out to be an absolute banger season. The tika three remain intact until fire, an epic necklace take-down, and one of the best final tribals we've ever seen. All this and more is unpacked in our final episode for season 44. Plus, we announce our new name...
-
I'm the Bandit
It's the penultimate episode of Season 44! Despite there not being a ton of exciting moves, Ethan is ready to concede that this is a great season and the boys are hopeful for an excellent finale and an ultimate Tika victory! But which of Carson, Yam Yam, or Carolyn have the best chance? We talk...
-
I'm Not Worthy
Much like Carolyn to her crustacean shells, we do not feel worthy of the excellent episode to recap that stands before us! We heap praise where praise is due upon the Tika Three and their incredible journey from 12 people post-merge to now having the majority at final six. Carolyn's idol play,...
-
Full Tilt Boogie
Positions. Paths. Boardstates. Whatever you want to call it (Charlie definitely wants to call it a Boardstate), when there's 8 players left, it's all about identifying your threat level and either suppressing it or amping it up. It's not only about making your way to final tribal, but having…

Under the Wings of a Dragon
The Late-Night Loopy Boys are back with another episode breakdown for season 44! Can Carson continue to fly under the radar? How do we feel about this new iteration of the rice "negotiation"? And what the heck was up with that 5-3-1-1 vote split!? All this, and more! Find us on twitter:...

Let's Not Be Cute About It
A never-before-seen advantage? 11 players remaning but only 4 eligible to be eliminated? The end of a Survivor Love Story? The possibility of 90 minute Survivor episodes? If you can believe it, all of this AND MORE are up for grabs to discuss as the boys dive in to episode 7 of season 44! Find us...
-
Survivor With A Capital S
It's time for the "Not Merge Gotta Earn It Drop Your Buffs Get a New Buff But Not Yet" Merge! While the Josh vote seemed to be a bit of a foregone conclusion, there's much to discuss in terms of where everyone sits in the individual game. We've got Lauren and Heidi under the radar, Yam Yam...
-
Season 44 Draft
It's almost the merge which means it's time for our third ever Survivor Fantasy Draft! This time, Ethan and Charlie are inviting on two special guests: Ben Werne (Ethan's other podcast co-host) and Michael Murphy (Charlie's younger brother.) Things get tricky with everyone vying for different...

The Third Turd
The pre-merge episode was...a bit of a snooze. But that doesn't mean we've got any shortage of things to talk about on the pod this week! Charlie still thinks we're set up for an exciting individual game, and we look at all the moving pieces leading up to it! Plus more OOF with our favorite…
more -
I'm Felicia
The introduction of a new post-trek advantage is the main feature of today's episode and the boys have a LOT to say about the tribe swaps and pre-merge idols. There's also plenty to discuss with more fake idol chaos, dings for Josh and Matthew, as well as a continued look at gender imbalance in…
more -
Sneaky Little Snake
Despite a segment on worm-eating and a rendition of "O Canada" by Kane, Charlie and Ethan find no shortage of things to talk about as season 44 gets off and running. We're talking people playing too hard, the chaos of fake idols, and if modern-day Survivor puts women at a disadvantage early.…
more -

Much like Matt and Frannie, you cannot deny the magnetic pull you have towards our podcast! This week, the boys reason through Carson's decision, talk about overpreparing for Survivor, Charlie comes around on Carolyn, and much more! Plus, an all new segment at the end of the show that will have…

Snap Some Necks and Cash Some Checks
It's finale time for Season 43 and everything played out exactly as we expected! ::record scratch:: Well, almost exactly as we expected. We're coming at you this week to try to make sense of the Gabler win, the Cassidy snub, the egos of the jury, the fire making challenge, the role of final…

Hiding In Plain Sight
Despite Ethan's feelings about this week's episode, there is still MUCH to discuss about season 43: the unprecedented double immunity win, the difference between playing from the bottom or the top at final 7, Karla's tenacity, and Jesse's performance thus far as possibly the greatest dominant...

What About The Big Girls?
Last week's episode was certainly the calm before the storm of this week's DOUBLE ELIMINATION! We've got a ton to talk about with the Owen vs James blow-up, Jesse playing out the counterfactual of tribal council, Sami bringing Karla in on the vote, and of course new power rankings and paths...
-
Proposterous
It's a light week on Survivor but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty for the boys to discuss in terms of light touches from Karla, when to get out Ryan and Gabler, and when the right time for James and Noelle to use their advantages!
