ACAST powers the world's best podcasts.

1:08

Here's a show that we recommend.

1:11

I'm Katie Aubin, producer at Tasty and a

1:13

holder of extremely strong food opinions. And I'm

1:16

Jasmine Pak. I'm a Tasty creator who also

1:18

has extremely strong food opinions. And

1:20

we're friends. We love food and we're hosting

1:23

a new podcast for Tasty called Bite Club. Bite

1:25

Club is a conversation show about the snacks,

1:28

treats, and bites that make us who we are. Each

1:30

week on Bite Club, we take a food topic and put

1:32

together a totally definitive list of

1:35

our rankings of that food. The list is our

1:37

opinion only, but on this podcast,

1:39

our opinion is the only one that

1:41

matters. We'll be sharing our Tasty tips,

1:43

playing food games, and having a dialogue on all things

1:45

delicious. Make sure to check out Bite

1:47

Club every week wherever you get your podcasts.

1:59

And

2:03

that's how we started, yes. But

2:06

the star has far greater plans,

2:08

I'm sure. And remember,

2:10

the words don't always work, and certainly

2:12

not all of them. It is fear

2:15

they feed off. It sounds

2:17

silly at first, I know, but they're

2:20

drawn toward the chemicals that are released

2:22

during a bout of fear. And

2:25

when they're cursing through your blood, well,

2:27

it seems they enjoy it most then. Enjoy?

2:31

But I was under the impression that

2:33

these things were simply the serpents

2:36

of the star.

2:38

Fitting them feeds the star,

2:41

correct? And Amara,

2:44

who said you couldn't enjoy work? I

2:50

see. Naya,

2:53

I'm Chris. Forgive

2:55

my lack of knowledge, but this

2:58

rift... There are those

3:01

saying that one of the brothers, the

3:03

older one, that he's in there. Is

3:06

this true?

3:07

I know that somehow he can see through

3:10

it, but the song it sings...

3:13

Is a void one. Surely he

3:15

can be in there, though? Surely

3:18

he is. I'm still uncertain

3:20

by what means, but I have no doubt that

3:22

he's still in there. However, judging

3:25

by what I've heard from Ryan's broadcast,

3:28

it does not appear as though his physical form

3:30

is there. From what

3:32

I can deduce, the rejections

3:34

of the star's blessing on multiple occasions

3:37

have somehow led to Roman becoming resistant

3:40

to their embrace.

3:42

I wonder, do you recall them all

3:44

as I told you? There

3:48

was the first rejection. In

3:50

the house outside the woods,

3:53

the tapping at

3:56

the window? A tall

3:58

one was calling him.

3:59

in his sleep. Elliot

4:02

woke him up and broke the spell.

4:04

Then a day or so later

4:06

it dried again, from the car

4:09

by the pine forest.

4:10

Except this time the seed was

4:13

planted in his veins. It

4:15

even had a chance to sprout from his

4:17

fingertips, but he escaped that

4:19

one too. Elliot again.

4:22

However, the seed was planted

4:24

at this point.

4:26

It was only a matter of time

4:28

until it started to grow again, and so

4:31

it did. When Roman encountered

4:33

the crossover grows in his daughter's

4:35

bedroom, but…

4:37

But what Amara? What is

4:40

it that happened time and time again? Elliot

4:43

stopped it. Against all

4:45

that should be possible, Elliot

4:47

was able to remove the tendrils… The

4:49

blessings, yes? Yes,

4:52

the blessings. He was

4:54

able to remove the blessings

4:57

without killing the bless.

4:59

Naya, forgive me, but

5:02

how many days does it take

5:04

before they cannot be removed without

5:07

killing them?

5:08

Two. Two days before

5:10

they are entwined. Do you see,

5:13

Amara, how Elliot is the root

5:15

cause of our problems? He's

5:17

the only one now that stands between

5:19

us and the power of Ryan's national broadcasts.

5:23

The others have already been dealt with.

5:25

Claire is particularly promising.

5:28

Am I a steal to oversee the ash?

5:31

Of course. Anything from Jackson?

5:34

Not that I'm aware of. As

5:36

expected, he was wrong about

5:38

his words of power working. Of

5:42

course he questioned the star.

5:44

So shall be the fate of anyone who

5:46

does such. I

5:48

believe Jackson thought

5:51

he was doing you a favor.

5:54

I shall speak to you in the morning, Amara. Good

5:58

night. Oh,

6:01

and Amara, you're

6:03

doing better than you think. Thank

6:05

you! Thank you! Jesus,

6:11

what am I doing? Just let

6:14

her know, Amara. Let

6:17

her know your power. Soon.

6:20

Soon.

6:42

that we recommend.

6:45

The

7:00

working metaphor for my anxiety is the

7:03

calls coming from inside the house. Were

7:05

there any episodes that you felt like you just

7:07

didn't get it right? Yeah, there are. There are probably

7:10

more than I want to admit. Frankly, I don't know

7:12

why I like you so much. I don't either. I

7:14

went to my first professional

7:15

wrestling match for this series.
