ROCK 108 Morning Show - "Snowflake Mountain Review"

Snowflake Mountain, if you weren't following along yesterday, it's a series that takes 10 Gen Zers or millennials who are spoiled and forces them to grow up and learn survival skills by putting them in the mountains to compete for $50,000.

Do you have that promo?

I sure do.

Let's play that.

You want one more time?

Oh, that sets it up so beautifully.

All right, here we go.

Snowflake, a young person who's considered overly emotional, easily offended.

You guys, this is not okay.

And dramatic.

This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me in my whole life.

There's a heap of young adults who can't even unload a dishwasher, let alone hold down a job.

And these 10 Snowflakes families have reached their breaking point.

So, they've tricked their giant babies into traveling far, far away to make them grow the hell up.

Now, me and Matt, who survived off the land our whole lives, are gonna take these kids back

To basics feels borderline abusive

So this is a Netflix series that's available now and I asked you off the air yesterday Hey, we should review this show.

I mean you seemed like you were kind of into it because it wasn't a joke I thought you were playing me a joke yesterday morning.

Not only do you like survival shows?

Yes, I like reality TV.

Okay, so it's a reality show.

Yep

And what do you think of this one and how it's produced?

I think it's produced very well.

I think the concept is excellent.

I love the fact that they turned it into a little bit of a competition.

The two survival guys are badass.

Yeah.

Do you have a preference between the two guys?

It's Joel and Matt.

Yeah, no preference.

I think they're both equally kind of...

Tough guys.

I like, you know, I like Joel.

He's the tall one of the two without the facial hair.

And I think somebody

I

only know him as fat and skinny skinny.

OK, in this case.

All right.

I think that he got wronged by somebody in the past.

And so he's because he's taking it out on them and he enjoys it.

Right.

I think it's because he was in the military.

There's that, too.

They both were, I think.

So my my review is I was a little disappointed.

because I love the concept so much, but it's like, as usual, Hollywood's version of what snowflakes are,

and

I think they missed the mark a little bit because Hollywood is full of snowflakes, so they couldn't figure out what they are.

So they, you know, all reality TV shows based on the cast, and you got to like,

people on the cast to hook into the show.

And I don't really think any of the people are likable.

Is there anybody that you dislike immediately?

What's his name?

He has like a name from the historical name.

Solomon?

Solomon.

Yeah, Solomon is, he's 26 and he likes getting his nails done, having facials.

Uh, he's from Virginia and he's fun employed.

Fun employed.

This is what it says.

Interesting.

Yeah.

I think they confused snowflake with gay.

Okay.

Um.

which isn't necessarily, I don't think that those two walk hand at hand at all.

No, absolutely not.

And I think they definitely, you know, did stalk this with guys that were overtly gay and I don't think that does the snowflake thing justice.

And also to me, snowflakes are white suburban rich kids.

which they do have a couple in there, but

then they have two kids from the UK.

And

that's the other thing I didn't get.

Why UK in there?

So there was a guy that reminded me, and maybe it was just the voice, but he reminded me of James Corden from late night television.

Right.

You know,

and I'm

like, what's he doing?

And then he looks in the outhouse and he's

like,

bleh, bleh,

bleh.

The first episode, they were just screaming Mimis the whole time.

What?

Screaming Mimis the whole time.

Mimis?

They were screaming.

Mimi's.

What's that mean?

It's just a word I made up.

Okay.

Gotcha.

I do that if you haven't noticed.

I guess.

They're just,

ah, ah, ah, you know, it's like, come on.

So the, uh, the woman that was from the UK, uh, you, they never show it, but she must have taken a tree branch to the face.

Why?

Cause she had two like big old scrapes across her cheeks.

And at one point you're like, wait, where'd that come from?

Right.

What, what tree did she get hit by?

Cause that would have been cool to watch.

Right.

Yes.

True.

So I don't know, I think they missed the mark a little bit because I want to like somebody.

That's how you hook into these shows.

And I haven't found a likable character yet, have you?

Not a likable character, but I already have my horse that's gonna win this whole thing.

The chick that won the first, when they said you are the...

No, no, no.

Interesting.

You know which one I picked?

Who?

It's the one who he's...

Into it only because he wants to get it done and out of the way sunny who is the guy bearded one?

He's got kind of a beard.

He's got long long hair that kind of a lazy guy He's from Pennsylvania

and

his mom says he doesn't even know how to make a sandwich

put stuff

away But there was something about him and how they focused on him and I was watching the production I go

That's guys gonna win.

I had

that

same thought that he's the ringer in the

group.

Yeah, he's just the sleeper pick There's another woman on the show that I can't remember her name off the top of my head But she was wearing a red kind of outfit and she's just she doesn't say anything.

I'm like, well, what's she doing?

So maybe she's kind of a sleeper in that too, and they haven't

given her background

information yet.

No, they haven't.

Are you in?

I mean, I'm into, you know, for the bits on this.

What do you think P1's 3192345369?

We got one guy to watch it last night.

Did you watch it too?

Snowflake Mountain available on Netflix and maybe you have some that you'd like to add to this conversation.
