Cory being picked was the adrenaline I needed this morning lol what are the odds 😭

[@amanadwin5629]

I’m still BUZZING

[@tbut1095]

RIGGED PODCAST!!🤣🤣

[@JNDReacts]

I love how all of your guests so far have the same background behind them. It’s like you guys set up a little studio for them to film from.

Sorry for the weird stacking format of our video boxes. Yes, it's 2024 and we're still learning how to use zoom 🙃

[@boofpeanuts6960]

this format would be nice if the guest was in the middle of

[@diaryroompodcast]

@@boofpeanuts6960 it wasn’t intentional, but luckily we’ve got an even better plan going forward

[@megkeggy]

The concept and content is so great!!! Of course there’s going to be small tech adjustments at first (:

[@diaryroompodcast]

@@megkeggy appreciate that ❤

[@taylorallen8262]

Getting Cory is crazy 😭

[@sawyerscheitler6416]

Wish you were doing these 2x a week! Two of my favorite RHAP podcasters + some great special guests = chefs kiss

[@erinmmcclave]

I’m loving this podtubecast. Love Matt and Aman, and absolutely adore the first two guests. It’s fun hearing them talk about all of the players I kind of vaguely recall, and the ones that you can’t forget, is so fun. Looking forward to 3ish more years!

[@user-on3np7uf9r]

Great concept and very entertaining with the rotating guests. Cory and America were terrific. Aman and Matt you're doing a great job!!!

[@stephaniewurtenberger]

Sooo excited to watch! Last week was so fun!

[@diaryroompodcast]

❤❤❤

[@Daddyoh94]

Nick Uhas can have Long Island, Cory gets America

[@craigyargeau814]

I am once again asking you all to not focus so much on who would do better on a return season. Returnee seasons are completely different games. You should really just consider who is the better player! Excited for next week!

[@mallorydebrow6573]

Another great episode! So glad you rigged it 😜

[@alyssasvensen4323]

This is such an awesome concept for a podcast..please keep them coming! 😊

[@heatherpumpkin6813]

It's so fun walking down BB memory lane! Bronte's voice OMG. 😂

[@JNDReacts]

4:49 People who don’t watch this pod are gonna be so surprised when America becomes the regular Americory guest on Taran’s morning updates!

[@CodyJamesWilliams]

No complaints there 😎😎 she’d bring some fun to it tbh. Love Taran but an occasional dose of America would be awesome if possible. Especially if they do the pressure cooker again. She HAS to join for that one

[@melissaschneider1193]

YAYYYYY y’all are amazing and love the americory vibes

[@victorialee4155]

I listened to the first podcast a few nights ago and was already excited for the second one! This one did not disappoint! I’m already anticipating next week’s! This is one of my favorite ideas I’ve seen in a while! I’m excited that it is going to take a looooonggggg time to finish this because I know it will become a consistent part of my Tuesdays! ❤

[@hmongillo]

America believes in destiny & fate. Cory doesnt. Honestly dont see how he can even debate it now...lol! Another great podcast. Both America& Cory added a lot. Looking forward to seeing who the next guest is.

[@redberries345]

i’m so excited!!! this is such a good idea guys and great first guests 😁

[@danheron2280]

Really enjoying the podcast so far. Forgot new episodes dropped Tuesdays and had been checking a few days for episode 2.

[@nickbutler3659]

Please try to show the pictures sooner! Love this guys, so fun!

[@giovannarodriguez9911]

Yayyy I love America!

[@boofpeanuts6960]

episode two let’s gooooo. are yall excited for bb26!!!???

[@diaryroompodcast]

Sooooooooo excited!!

[@CodyJamesWilliams]

After watching both awesome episodes, I want to say a few things: 1. This is such a damn fun and cool idea. Absolutely love it! Matt & Aman have done both fantastic jobs hosting these. So far, Cory then America have been insightful and entertaining as well as guests! I think you both have something really cool here. 2. Concept is great BUTTTTT, this will last and potentially drag on for years. If you’re doing all the players in “North American” Big Brother seasons, just doing the first round is over a year long if you stick with weekly episodes and 3 match-ups of 2 players. Then it is still close to a year for the 2nd round. This is implying you guys take no breaks in-between. What happens when you reach the 2nd round and let’s say BB27 airs then finishes. Do you still incorporate them? I think maybe upping it to 4 match-ups and having each be 15 minutes with an extra dedicated to the special guest would help move it along faster. Or even 5 match-ups with 10 to 15 minutes each (minutes to match-up not player) would make it smoother. Or even do a “Round Robin” for the first round or two. Do three contestants each match-up instead of the typical bracket match-up. Then, you guys vote in 2 of the 3 to advance. It would get you through the 1st Round faster yet still keep the same amount of players advancing to the next round. The hosts & guests can rank and give them 3 points for 1st, 2 points for 2nd and 1 point for 3rd. You can even seed them after the Round Robin. Highest two point totals advance. I probably just wrote something confusing. Anyways, I’ll be watching no matter what. Great work!

[@CodyJamesWilliams]

I hope this makes sense. I think a Round Robin idea would work amazingly tbh

[@diaryroompodcast]

Not too confusing! Haha but we know it’s gonna take a while and that’s our plan. Would be fun to just get to the answer tomorrow but we’ll be able to have a good time for a longer time this way 😊

[@thisismecindy]

I listened to the audio and came to the video to see the reaction for Cory

[@mackenzie4137]

The BB speculation is one of the things I enjoy the most. BB fans' imaginations are often better than reality

[@sandybrooks8390]

Scott was so fun except for his Alex obsession. Him hyping himself up while waiting to compete was hilarious, sorry Aman 😂 All these years later and I still feel a little bit of that rivalry in the fandom.

[@paulaorozco1468]

I love y’all! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@FinneasAF]

My strongest memory of Vanessa is that when feeds came up the first time, she was crying.

[@inainoslo3011]

Watching since season 8. I remember finding out about bbott and being so sad I couldn’t watch it because I live in Europe, the only way I could watch was to download on illegal torrent haha

[@CodyJamesWilliams]

Team America and AmeriCory 🇺🇸🇺🇸 she’s so damn entertaining. Gotta love the most unlikely showmance in BB history 😎😎😎 atta boy Cory

[@laurabuckner4484]

As someone who uses the same wheel of names site for work all the time, i know there are advanced settings where you could have rigged it, BUT then the wheel would look a lot different. All this to say I KNOW you didn't rig it, Matt, even if people don't believe you.

[@Sakuraa3398]

Icon Cory lol that’s crazy

[@classicmiriam]

Michelle won Otev in BB18.

[@Booksyl]

I feel like the wheel should be randomized but other than that loving this concept and the discussions. ❤

[@diaryroompodcast]

@@Booksyl it is randomized! haha

[@Booksyl]

@@diaryroompodcast I didn’t mean the picls. I meant the names on it. I can’t tell but I thought they were in order of seasons.

[@diaryroompodcast]

@@Booksyl oh, I see- that’s a great idea!

[@elitettelbach4247]

America is an awesome guest! She’s so fun and has great takes. I’m excited for her to inevitably guest on some live feed updates this season. Lmao that’s so hilarious that Cory got drawn 😂😂😂 What a cosmic coincidence! Huge bias aside (not to mention he literally came into frame to make a pitch), but he easily clears Nick Uhas. I liked Nick at the time, but it was exciting that he got ousted so early. Going to AGT and a Netflix show makes me think he’s the Marvin who could (get on BB). Bronte is sweet but ultimately inconsequential. I also forgot about her voice omg. Congrats on being probably one of the more notable contemporary mathematicians though. Vanessa was unlikely to fall in the first round, but this was an easy matchup for her. She definitely wins here. McCrae really does have Jag upside. I know that he used to do a podcast with fellow Minnesotan Janelle for a bit, but I’m not sure if they still do it. I remember them talking BB24 but have no recollection of them discussing BB25. Scott getting saved by America’s vote only to get evicted next because of America is such a funny trajectory. Yeah I also give this win to McCrae. Looking forward to seeing how Cory manages to make his third appearance in three episodes next week 😂

[@iPlayDrums025]

Nick Uhas was awesome as the host of Blown Away! They just replaced him too! Bummed!

[@TEditsV1]

=)

[@mechanicalthephantomonial7757]

I wouldnt say Ivette was voted for BB6, she was racist towards Kaysar on that season and majorly disliked. I think it’s just a game vote. Ivette couldve won the game had she played slightly different while Mark wouldve had to majorly change his game

[@KadeUrso]

Great show! Do you know about @BBGossip? He's been watching, discussing, and posting about the Big Brother live feeds since season 1. He has a podcast and is interested in having guests on his show to discuss the upcoming season. I believe that he could be a great guest for your show too.
