Bananas Toast

AngieChu and Papa D discuss Laurel (who they generally enjoy) and her downhill spiral this season, both on the show and on social media. They discuss some Challenge tea and predict what might occur in the next few episodes.

The Era Invitational continues with an 8-matchup gauntlet, leaving us with a mere 32 contestants to share 2 bathrooms between 'em :)

OH MY GOD, AngieChu and Papa D are finally and officially baaaaack after a long hiatus, just in time for Season 40! Both of our hosts are solidly Era 2, just like TJ, and they're feeling the HYPE after this first episode!

AngieChu and Papa D are back, refreshed, and ready to go with a brand new season of The Challenge! All Stars 4 starts off with a BANG, an amazing format, and rumours of controversy. We discuss all of that and more :)

AngieChu and Papa D discuss the surprisingly well-off mentally CT and lament how...nice he was to the contestants. We also discuss Ed's power move and how our boy Jay has continued to devolve into madness while power consumes him.

In this episode, AngieChu and Papa D discuss the delightful birth of a counteralliance (though Colleen sabotages her own initiative), and how Jay is trippin' on his newfound power.

In this episode, AngieChu and Papa D discuss why it is important to have hard conversations with friends, what is true about the friendship if you are unwilling to do this, and also how the return of a LEGEND shakes up the house!

AngieChu & Papa D discuss the odd playing styles of several cast members who are happy to hemorrhage money, as well as social media tea from this week that clear up the million-dollar question: Who told Johnny??

We're back to discuss the orgy that this season has turned into. Everyone wants a piece of Emanuel the Vampire, and Moriah doesn't understand how reality tv works in the Internet age of the 21st century.

AngieChu and Papa D are back to congratulate Prime Video on uploading the episode on time this week :) They discuss the oddities of Big T and Melissa being the prime targets of the house, Kaz's weak reception into the house, and how the cast should strategize going forward.

The newbies continue to bungle their deliberations, as Chauncey took a look at Jessica's performance last week and said, "Hold My Beer". We also discuss the importance of Kyland and Melissa's scene together as they discuss Kyland's autism, as well as the team morale as they continue to have too many cooks in the kitchen. 

AngieChu and Papa D are BACK AT LAST with a whole new recap for episode 1 of Season 39. We discuss how much this feels like an old-school cast (for better and for worse), Big T's glowup to main character status, Hughie's bum implants, and how production dropped the ball on making this another 1-winner season. We also detail Jessica's biggest blunder ever.

This week, AngieChu and Papa D discuss how the daily LOOKED cool and the cast clearly found it cool, but viewers had absolutely no clue who did good or bad until TJ said so. We also discuss the unraveling of most partnerships as this season gets to the "needy greedy".

AngieChu and Papa D's theory was (unfortunately) true! Amber's lingering sickness was MORNING SICKNESS! Congrats to Amber Borzotra and Chauncey Palmer, but damn MTV invest in weekly pregnancy tests, mmkay?

AngieChu and Papa D rejoice at the choices made this episode by Kellyanne and her newfound crew, although they remain baffled by Ben's chaotic gameplay. The house is in shambles, and Tori and Danny are seconds from strangling one another, and that's why we're eating this shit up! We also theorize on if Amber, Tristan, and Ben will be able to continue next week and the possibilities if multiple people are Med DQ'd in one go.

Two powerhouses are sent packing this week with one elimination at the start of the episode and a Med DQ at the end. AngieChu geeks out about how much fun the daily looks despite her sucking at swimming and puzzles, while Papa D remains terrified of the water. They both roast Grant for his extra gameplay that ultimately removed him from the game altogether, and at the end they discuss the Mario movie!

AngieChu FINALLY has a new laptop, so she and Papa D are baaaack for this exciting new season. We discuss as Wes makes one of the rookiest mistakes ever, and everyone capitalizes on it despite attempted production interference.

We have our winners, and we are ecstatic! The best team won, but all 4 teams did SUCH a great job. We give them their props, AngieChu reveals Finals Tea spilled by the cast post-episode, and Papa D gives what might be his last Fessy rant of Season 38!

Part 2 of the Final is underway, and all of the teams are beginning to implode under the pressure. They enjoy some pea soup, followed by some noodles! Ever seen a Banana covered in someone else's Noodles? No? That's why we love this show!

AngieChu and Papa D are back from holiday hiatus to recap part one of the Ride Or Dies final!

In this week's episode, Angie and Papa D discuss how it's nice to get the humanizing components of Fessy, Jordan, and Tori that we've been missing since Real World and Road Rules died. We also discuss how Fessy needs to just lean into his villain role instead of pretending to be a good guy while doing non-good guy ish. 

Angie & Papa D return with episode #08 of S38 and will be here for the rest of the season :) We discuss the ages of the cast, Bananas turning 40, unseen shomances, and Papa D's lingering hate for Messy Fessy!

Angie can't stop singing Olivia and Horacio's praises and is now rooting for them to win it all, while Papa D still laments seeing Fessy on his television screen. They both praise Tori and Jordan for being so raw and real, which is something ironically absent in reality TV, and Angie declares why it might be time to bring Paulie back to The Challenge.

Turbo, Turbo, Turbo... AngieChu and Papa D discuss Turbo's disturbing demeanour on this season and Tamara's look as a hostage. They also discuss the frontrunners to win the season, and while Bananas/Nany and Kaycee/Kenny are clear choices, they are surprised to admit that Tori/Devin and Olivia/Horacio are also showing that they have what it takes to win it all.

The Bananas Toast Podcast is baaaaack, and so is The Challenge! AngieChu and Papa D are back with Season 38, and already this season looks MUCH better than S36 or S37. They are in a sunny place that gets cold at night, and there are a lot of badass rookies and fun, hungry vets. There's also game-related drama and some showmances forming. Listen to their early predictions as they recap the episode!

The final is among us, and we learn that Wes and Nehemiah weren't bullshitting at all with their talk of "purposely sandbagging all season to lay low". The two besties steamroll the first portion of the final, but everyone is doing decently well. Angie and Papa D give their winner predictions.Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Twitch.TV!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

Queen V is Medically DQ'ed due to her love of pizza, Johnny Bananas and his speedo guest star to help out Wes, and we learn who's definitely in the final! Angie and Papa D also discuss whether there will actually be a girls' elimination of if TJ is pulling another fake-out.Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Twitch.TV!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

It's time for our favourite day of the year: Trivia Day! We get some great insight into Lance Armstrong's walk on the moon, Jesus's Disciples (and Mary) as The Beatles, and Carole Baskins's foray into the world of The Lion King! As an added bonus, we get two great eliminations and wonder if Veronica has risked it all for a slice of pizza...Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Twitch.TV!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

This week on All Stars 3, Beth's chaos nearly breaks up some families, and we heard the worst affair-denials since Bill Clinton declared "I did not, have sexual, relations, with that woman." We finally get Wes vs. Yes, and the fans go mad as Yes transforms into an adrenaline-head and humps a wall to near victory.Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Twitch.TV!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

Beth returns to All Stars 3! And immediately gets snarky with former foe Veronica. Meanwhile, Jordan has an "All Star" episode in which he finally consummates his feelings for Nia while also taking down Darrell in an incredible elimination.Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Twitch.TV!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

Some of these people flourish during the dating phase and are clearly going to bang during the trial marriages, while others (like Alexis and Colby) are cracking under the pressure. Jake and Randall publicly throw April and Shanique under the bus, and a last-minute proposal turns this entire show upside down.Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Twitch.TV!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

Episodes 1 and 2 both dropped, and AngieChu and Papa D decided to recap both in one juicy podcast.

We are baaaaack with a recap of Netflix's "The Adam Project". This movie just dropped a few weeks ago and is incredible. Walker Scobell is a standout in his first feature film alongside his hero, Ryan Reynolds. Fans of psychological thrillers, time travel, and the butterfly effect will adore this movie. Lots of laughs and even a few tears are unavoidable.Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter and Instagram!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

We've done it! We finally managed to blindly pick a film that beat Zola's 89% score! And what a great cozy mystery to do it, too. AngieChu watches the film for the first time and falls in love, while Papa D reflects on his third viewing. They also discuss what they'd like to see in the upcoming Knives Out 2.Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter and Instagram!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

**Apologies for the audio issues in this episode** AngieChu discusses why she likes this nearly 3-hour-long movie, while Papa D laments his distaste of it. Angie speculates on how Brad Pitt's apology tour helped the film win its Academy Awards and the best ways to rewatch this movie.Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter and Instagram!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

Papa D geeks out as he introduces Angie to B-level Jason Statham movie, "The Meg". Angie agrees that this was a fun, complete movie, and Papa D (shark fanatic) details some of the specifics you might miss on the first pass-through. Both hosts strongly disagree with the low ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, and they discuss what The Meg 2 could be about!Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter and Instagram!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

Angie, resident Five Night's At Freddy's fanatic, finally watches "Willy's Wonderland" and convinces horror-hating Papa D to watch it, too. Luckily, this horror-comedy is 95% comedy and 5% horror, so it does not scare Papa D. We discuss the silent protagonist that is just Nic Cage as a janitor and how this movie only works because it's Nic Cage. Angie discusses what she'd like to see in a prequel and in a sequel, as well as the similarities to the beloved FNAF series.Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter and Instagram!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

Papa D introduces AngieChu (and her toddler, Xandir) to the 2008 live-action Speed Racer movie. They all agree that this is a widely underrated, feel-good movie. It's fun with a light plot, and its lengthy running time goes quickly.  For once, they have nothing negative or ranty to say!Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter and Instagram!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

AngieChu and Papa D review the New Zealand comedy horror film "Killer Sofa" and are left decidedly underwhelmed. Angie attacks the movie from a writing and filmmaking perspective, rating it as a rushed school assignment that she'd want to see expanded and fleshed out more, and Papa D just wants to forget this movie exists. They segue into tangents about Five Nights At Freddy's similarities, Zak Bagans's experiences with dybbuk boxes, and whether or not rewatching "Killer Sofa" as a comedy instead of a horror would make it better.  Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter and Instagram!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

During the off-season of The Challenge, AngieChu and Papa D recap the blockbuster movie Sonic The Hedgehog. We discuss how we bullied the studio from turning a creepy-looking Sanic into this wonderful film, recap how Sonic is like totally a 7-year-old child with ADHD, and squeal over Jim Carrey's masterful performance as Dr. Ivo Robotnik.Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter and Instagram!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

During the off-season of The Challenge, AngieChu and Papa D recap the indie blockbuster movie Zola. Based on the viral Twitter thread from Zola K (a.k.a. @zolarmoon_), we explore the consequences of agreeing to go on a "ho trip" with a chick you just met less than 24 hours before. Pimps, bad sex, fragile egos, a shooting, and a near-suicide ensue.Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter and Instagram!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

In today's very special episode, AngieChu spills the tea on where TF Ashley is and which rule she broke, and she and Papa D have a heartfelt discussion on whether or not she should have been DQ'ed and whether or not The Challenge has gotten "soft". They send their love to another cast member, and they break down the shocking elimination and one of the worst daily team performances ever #GoddammitRubySpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

It was a good episode, but it produced a lot of LVPs and Rant Activateds from AngieChu & Papa D. They wonder who was more to blame for the Ruby Cell's latest folly: Amanda or Logan. We also address the Amanda slander and whether production influenced the harsh words against her. We also speculate whether Emy will be safe next week due to Amanda and Ashley's extraness lately.Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

Manipulation everywhere, and Angie and Papa D are in awe of how Emy is the vets' lackey...but it's working for her and they seem to respect her. They also discuss infinity pools and how Angie is the bestselling author but Papa D is the master of writing sexual scenes. Papa D has it out for Amanda, and Angie is excited that there's only 3 rookies left, so the vets are about to cannibalize each other in droves.

NO, Angie is NOT pregnant again (yet), and Papa D is remaining steadfast to the plan to be a Cool Uncle For Life. On this week's episode, Amanda gives Kyle lessons about the labour and delivery process, and Angie backs her up while Papa D cringes. Angie also analyzes Kyle's recent behaviour and theories on it, both she and Papa D remain amazed that Devin is leading the vet alliance, and they give Ed a proper sendoff for an amazing pole wrestle!Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5cpN7te6IumEd78olqcuVkApple Pods - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bananas-toast/id1507615062Google Pods - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDA0ODk2LnJzcw==Follow us on Twitter!:@TheAngieChu@PapaD618

THIS IS THE EPISODE WE DESERVED! Angie and Papa D discuss how this season should've just started from here with this daily and this cast. Angie squeals over how the groups are Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, just like her favourite Pokémon region.

The Veteran Alliance is dead! It's deader than a doornail, and Angie & Papa D couldn't be happier. Priscilla wins MVP of the season so far for finally taking a stand and ensuring that a vet will be going into each elimination moving forward, and TJ is salivating over this on his shiny new yacht.
