Holy Moly

It’s our first minisode! Remember when Tori and Jackie played a live Mole game in North Carolina right before quarantine hit? Well, we finally got to sit down and chat with Carlo St. James, none other than the amazing creator + host himself. He shares background on how and why he got into the live gaming world, what it’s like to plan and participate in these games, and where he hopes to take The Mole series next. He is a wonderful human and we hope you enjoy our conversation! Here are some references to things we talk about during the show: A study on “Self-Concept and Social Adjustment among College Going Reality Show Participants“: https://www.academia.edu/36826349/Self_Concept_and_Social_Adjustment_among_College_Going_Reality_Show_Participants Victory House Productions on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdgLCgM7MLM Carlo on Insta: carlosaintjames Twitter: carlo_jamez Keep an eye on the Live Reality Games facebook group for LRG casting and show announcements: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LiveRealityGames/ Thank you so much for listening, and keep an eye out for our upcoming third season of Holy Moly!

The time has finally come. Join us and Ahmad Rashad one last time as we put a bow on the US Celebrity Mole franchise. We have an interesting final 3, with Angie Everhart, Dennis Rodman and Mark Cur---err...someone called Mr. Danger? Not only will we find out who the mole and winner of Yucatan is, but we’ll also sit down with all of our executed players to check in on how they’re *emotionally* doing after this season and the final reveal. Another season in the books! Thank you all so much for listening

Tori and Jackie are back to talk all things Celeb Mole! This week, we get some fun youthful challenges that are essentially dodgeball and fingerpainting...except there’s obviously tequila and cigars nearby. Open questions: How often do the players get to ‘go into town’ to shop? Who is Zoltar? And obviously, who is the mole this season? We love to hear from you!

And finally, can you help us figure out if the words Bury, Berry, OR Barry have any relation to our suspected mole? We love to hear from you!

Hey y’all, before we get back into The Mole, we wanted to make our stance clear about something else going on in the world: Black Lives Matter. We take a brief moment in the beginning of the episode to share some resources: Black Lives Matter: https://blacklivesmatter.com/ Brooklyn Restorative Justice Project + Brooklyn Community Foundation: https://www.brooklyncommunityfoundation.org/brooklyn-restorative-justice-project Anti Racist Reading list: https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2020/jun/03/do-the-work-an-anti-racist-reading-list-layla-f-saad NPR’s list of books, films and podcasts about Racism: https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2020/06/06/871023438/this-list-of-books-films-and-podcasts-about-racism-is-a-start-not-a-panacea 2 particular recommendations we have: The documentary “13th” directed by Ava DuVernay, and Brice Izyah’s Purple Pants Podcast. Other ways to help and educate yourself: Diversify your social media + podcast feeds and the other media you consume, vote in local elections, support black-owned businesses. Thanks for listening and learning, we love y’all

Well, we’re in Yucatan, but it actually looks a lot like Hawaii, especially with some familiar returning faces! Some interesting strategies emerge as the cast sizes each other up - there’s lying, secret solo challenges, and of course, cigar smoking. The production value of this season has undeniably stepped it up as we find ourselves with more documented strategy in hotel rooms and makeup rooms than ever before. It even appears that Stephen may have learned something from his first season, as he attempts to form a coalition with another player. But will he have learned enough to avoid being the mole’s first victim? We love to hear from you!
