The Traitors rivals Bob the Drag Queen and Boston Rob are setting aside their differences for an official podcast ahead of season 4

"Bob vs. Rob" was one of the most explosive moments on the last season of Peacock's Alan Cumming-hosted The Traitors

One of the most tense midseason moments of The Traitors season 3 was when, after doubting his loyalty to their, "Boston Rob" Mariano accused fellow Traitor Bob the Drag Queen at the Round Table. After offering a passionate (if completely untrue) defense of Loyal status, BDQ lost the trust of the assembled players and was voted out, banished out of the Scottish Highlands castle where TV's backstabbiest game is played.

But hey, you can't hold a grudge forever, right?

That seems to be the case Bob and his erstwhile Judas, as the two of them are happily joining forces for The Traitors Official Podcast. The news comes to us via the good folks at Variety, who announced the companion audio experience in an article published January 5. According to the outlet, the podcast will feature "Boston Rob breaking down strategic gameplay decisions and mission twists, while Bob the Drag Queen delivers signature commentary on the looks, style moments and pure drama".

A quick note here - Bob the Drag Queen isn't the only Traitors season 3 player who's decided to turn the other cheek when it comes to Boston Rob. Famously, season 3 breakout star Dylan Efron spent much of his time in Alan Cumming's castle defending the Survivor legend, only to be blindsided by his status as a Traitor as the season winded down. However, the two have joined forces over and over again after the season ended, and it's pretty clear that a simple backstab didn't get in the way of a genuine friendship.

But then again, that's how you play the game. And to be honest, any contestant of RuPaul's Drag Race knows a thing or two about accepting drama. Still, I wouldn't be shocked in the least if, during the first time these two future cohosts were in the room together after season 3, there were a lot of awkward pauses.

 The Traitors season 4 airs on Peacock January 8
