Dearborn's Dan Gheesling, the "Big Brother" winner and "Traitors" star, has launched a new podcast, "Talking a Big Game," alongside "Real Housewives" star Tamra Judge.

The show debuted its first episode on Monday, with the pair, who both starred on Season 2 of the Peacock reality competition series "The Traitors," dishing about their time on the show and their respective reality TV histories.

Eventually the duo will talk to other stars of reality shows, including Maksim Chmerkovskiy, from "Dancing With the Stars" as well as "The Traitors."

"I'm just so excited to get a chance to talk to (guests), but also see your perspective on some of these reality TV winners," Gheesling tells Judge in the first episode. "I wanna see how you approach them, because we are just coming at this from two very different angles, and I always love having a front seat to fireworks and great entertainment, and I think that's coming down the road for us."

Gheesling was the winner of "Big Brother's" 10th season, in 2008, and the runner-up on "Big Brother 14" in 2012. Among fans of the long-running CBS reality competition series, he is largely seen as one of the best players in the show's history. He is also a Twitch streamer.

He appeared on the second season of "The Traitors," which ran earlier this year, and was voted off the show early.

At the time, Gheesling said he was likely finished with reality TV — "I think this is probably it," he told The News after his exit from the show, "you haven't seen me in 10 years, and you'll probably never see me again" — but he says on the podcast he would return to "The Traitors" if asked.

Judge has starred on 14 seasons of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" and is also a co-host of the podcast "Two Ts in a Pod," alongside fellow "Real Housewife" Teddi Mellencamp.

"Talking a Big Game" is produced by iHeartMedia, Inc.
