“Same, Brian, same,” Brian responds.

Brandt explains the competition will consist of teams of humans facing off against “the ham-stars.”

“If those hamsters are listening, we’re here to educate and to dominate,” one human contestant proclaims, while another adds, “We’re gonna show these hamsters that the only scrubs here are the ones we’re wearing.”

It’s not the humans who are getting in on the trash talk. Captions in the trailer show the hamsters’ internal thoughts.

“Prepare to lose to filthy humans,” one notes, while another adds, “I will devour the competition.”

The eight-episode series will include themed episodes, including: “Teachers vs Nurses,” “Trivia Kings and Volunteer Queens,” “Weekend Warriors and Theater Kids,” “Wrestlers and Lawyers,” “Rhode Island Firefighters and New Jersey Firefighters,” “Magicians and Dancers,” “Flight Attendants and Tooth Fairies” and “Caroling Elves and Christmas Candy Clerks.”

Chip Gaines previously opened up about finding inspiration for the new Max series while watchingTravis Kelceand his brotherJason Kelceduring the Conversation with Chip & Joanna Gaines event at PaleyFest NY 2024 on Oct. 21.

“I was watching Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce, and somehow, maybe… Kelce, at the time, ripped off his shirt at some big football event or something after he had retired,” he shared. “Is everybody familiar? All right? And I just thought, you know what would be funny? Humans versus hamsters.”

“Willie Nelson says he wrote some of his most famous lines literally in 15 minutes, like in the you know, the way from point A to point B,” he added. “I feel like this was my point of inspiration. Watching Kelce rip his shirt off.”
