dude you are will every season not there are not every season almost every season there comes down to a challenge between two people where they have to build a fire after because they like split the votes or there's no other way to determine so they have to build a fire at the tribal council and i i shit you not half the people that get there do not know how to build a fire with flint

how's that at the end of the season it's called survivor i alex and i are talking about this all the time we're always like how to it's like not knowing how to swim yes dude you have to figure this out like good you know so yes i'm i agree with you like the first thing i would do is figure out how to make fire under any conditions but especially the fijian conditions right like knowing what my resources are guessing there's a book called how to make a fire in fiji exactly

Exactly.

And then I'd learn what I can eat and what I can hunt and what kind of fish I could eat.

And then I would also starve myself leading up to going.

Because you watch these people and they lose so much weight.

And also their bodies are so used to regular calorie intake.

You see like big guys crash because they have such requirements.

Their bodies require.

Which is so weird.

Because they just know they're going to lose it.

Mike White worked really hard to make sure he, remember he's like, I've been waiting for this moment for months.

I'm like, yeah, but you're 15 personal trainers.

No, I don't.

I, because of there's, because they're so physically stretched, like the challenges you want to be in really good, like lean fighting shape and also not be hungry.

So like to me, I would be like calorie restriction going like the month before I'd be go to like a really low calorie diet because what that does is it trains your body to be more efficient with less food because you're only getting so much rice.

You're only getting so much stuff.

Right, right, right.

yeah be used to it here we go maddie just said the player that won last season so she was fasting for months before going there you go so her body yeah that's exactly what i would do which is totally the opposite of alone everybody on alone is like you put on as much weight as possible sitting around and right in cold weather and trying to survive it's not the same thing yeah this is like yeah this one you just want to be because you're working hard i mean those challenges you see them yeah insane

It's really tough, man.
