Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of been like the Year of

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,000

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: As somebody that grew up watching the show and wanted

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: a play. I mean, I remember episode one of season

25
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: forty nine. I'm talking about I want to make a

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: legacy on Survivor. And to know that my legacy lasted

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: twenty six straight episodes in the last calendar year has

28
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: been pretty pretty wild. But it's it's been a dream

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 2: come true.

00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,320

Speaker 1: Knicks fandom, about the finals, some hoops talk, we'll take

37
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: we do the No Buffs pod. We got a million

38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: questions about him playing back to back seasons of Survivor.

39
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: But Rizzo the finals tip tonight as the Spurs face

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: your New York Knicks in game one. Now we all

41
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: know the orange and Blue have not been in the

42
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: NBA Finals for a very long time. So the first

43
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: question is what was Riz God doing in nineteen ninety nine?

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: Was the Risk Good alive?

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: So the Risk Good was born in November twenty third

46
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: of nineteen ninety nine, which happened to be three months

47
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: after the Knicks lost to the Saint San Antonio Spurs

48
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: that we're playing this year, so it never happened. I've

49
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: never seen the Knicks in the finals my entire life,

50
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 2: so it's pretty crazy. And I'm sure that you've seen

51
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: all the social media. Not only myself, but everybody in

52
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: New York is going ballistic right now. They're going crazy

53
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: in the streets of MSG on Fifth Abs, So I

54
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: don't know if people can understand what the magnitude of

55
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: this is. Whether we win or lose, Gotham is going

56
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: to go down and fires, and I'm excited to see

57
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 2: it happen.

58
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: What are your plans for Game one tonight? Are you

59
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: going to be out on those streets in New York

60
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: with the bing bongs or do you got other plans?

61
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, I think the risk God wants to make

62
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: sure he has an opportunity to play a third time.

63
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: So I don't see myself going out there the streets

64
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: of New York City. I'll be in the I'll be

65
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: on the couch like my fellow castmates Suri and watching

66
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: at home with some friends because if the Knicks win,

67
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: if Jalen Brunson does something, I can't stand twenty thousand

68
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: microphones and people trampling on top of me in New

69
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: York City.

70
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: So I'll be on the couch fair enough.

71
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: How long?

72
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: I mean, have you been a Knicks fan your entire life?

73
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: Like how did you get into this? Is because of

74
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: your parents or what made you a Knicks fan? Just

75
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: being in the city.

76
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think I'm a big New York homer.

77
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: So all my teams are all New York based Yankees, Rangers, Nicks, Giants. Well,

78
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 2: I guess the Giants are New Jersey. But it's always

79
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: been New York for me. And what really is funny

80
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: with the Knicks, and I'll be really honest, is growing up,

81
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: the Knicks have been like terrible. My whole life like terrible.

82
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: The first Knicks team that I started watching was like

83
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: THEAO nine Knicks, the Neil Gallinari, the Al Harrington, the

84
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: David Lee, the Nate Robinson Knicks and they were like atrocious.

85
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: So I'm watching the Knicks for damn near a decade

86
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: where they haven't made the playoffs. We get Carmelo Anthony,

87
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: which was like the best thing in my life, where

88
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: we make the second round and thinking we're going to

89
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: go somewhere. So I think probably up until twenty eighteen

90
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, where Porzingis was out the door, I was

91
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: kind of like, you know what, Like the Knicks are terrible,

92
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start rooting for players. So as you can

93
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: see the Luca Danca jersey behind me, I started following Luca.

94
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: He's Slovenian, kind of in that Balkan Empire, where I

95
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: was like, you know what, I'm going to root for him. Sure,

96
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: So my Knicks fandom wasn't as strong as it was,

97
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: I guess till recently until we've got Jalen Brunson. But

98
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: now that they're good, I can feel relevant again in

99
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: saying that, Go Nix Go.

100
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: I like your honesty here. Always a Knicks fan and

101
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: really on the bandwagon now, but you have some allegiances

102
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: to players too.

103
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I do like seeing that you have the

104
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: Luca jersey next to are matching Jeff Probe's to cardboard

105
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: cutout I must have for any Survivor fan out there,

106
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: at which you are as well, you got a Barrett

107
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 3: jersey hanging there. Who's your guy on the Knicks? Now, like,

108
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 3: who's your favorite nick going into this spur?

109
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: This spurs finals? So I have two answers to this.

110
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: My favorite Nick is somebody that doesn't really play that much,

111
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: and it's Tyler Kolek. I've been a big Tyler Kolek

112
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: fan since he was on Marquette and he actually practices

113
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: in the gym near me, so I've seen Tyler Kohleck.

114
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 2: I've got a couple of shots up with him. Really

115
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: really nice guy. But when it comes to really like

116
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 2: the main rotation for the Knicks, it's got to be Ognenobi.

117
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: For me, I think the guy has embodied being clutch,

118
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: which is crazy because at first I was a big RJ.

119
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 2: Barrett guy. He signed my jersey, I met him, super

120
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: nice guy, and then when we traded for ogn Andobi,

121
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, what are we what are we doing?

122
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 2: Finally we get a new young guy that's really good.

123
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: We ship them off. But Ojannobi's been the real reason

124
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: why I feel like we've been succeeding in this playoff run.

125
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: His defense is three and d play has been amazing.

126
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: I mean his series against Cleveland, he went nuclear. So

127
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: I'm a big og Nnobi guy.

128
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: What about your favorite all time Nick or is that

129
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: og right now? Do you have like no going back? Yeah?

130
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: My my favorite all time Nick is David Lee, big

131
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: Florida guy as well. So when I started watching the Knicks,

132
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: David Lee was the guy number forty on the Knicks,

133
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: and I remember through and through I was a David

134
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: League guy until he went to Golden State, and I

135
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 2: will forever be a David League guy.

136
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: Okay, Wow, did.

137
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: Not expect that answer an underrated Nick from like the

138
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: twenty tens era, putting up twenty and tens in the

139
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 3: twenty tens. But you say you're RJ. Barret Jersey signed.

140
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 3: It looks like the Luca's one signed. How are you

141
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 3: meeting all these guys?

142
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: So the Luca and RJ. Barrett story is pretty funny

143
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: because I got both of their signatures in Philly. I think,

144
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: as every New Yorker could. If you want to get

145
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 2: really really close to the players, going to MSG is

146
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 2: probably not the route you want to go because you'll

147
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 2: be spending a couple grand So I did what every

148
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 2: smart New Yorker does and take the two hour drive

149
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 2: to Philly, got courtside tickets there, and I'm sitting there

150
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: like a like a you know, a kid at a

151
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 2: candy store, like, Luca, can you sign my jersey?

152
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: Mind?

153
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: You have a twenty five year old grown ass man

154
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: ask you for a signature. And I actually have that

155
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: video of me meeting Luca on my YouTube channel, So

156
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: I'm like, Luca, can you sign it? And He's like,

157
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: I got you brought it, and I'm like, holy shit.

158
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: So the best day of my life. And the same

159
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: story with the RJ Barrett. RJ was kind of a

160
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 2: little weird because I was like, RJ, I saw on

161
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 2: you on seeing you at my local Buffalo Wild Wings.

162
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: Can you sign He's like, you're fucking weird. But so

163
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: they're two really funny stories that I both got signatures

164
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: in Philly.

165
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: So you're saying you're a part of the Knicks invasion

166
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia, You're not surprised to see him take over

167
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: what is it Wells Fargo Center? I guess for the

168
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: game for I mean that was embarrassing for the Sixers fans,

169
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: but pretty cool for the Knicks fans.

170
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. I think anything in the Northeast, like it's

171
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: always New York Knicks takeover, maybe besides Boston, so anywhere

172
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: is kind of home court advantage for US Knicks fans.

173
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I won't be surprised in San Antonio if

174
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: it's like seventy thirty Knicks fans, you know.

175
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, maybe there will be Knicks fans. Of

176
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: course in attendance, no doubt. They're everywhere and they travel,

177
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's somewhat cheaper to even go to a

178
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: visiting barn than it is Madison Square Garden. But seventy

179
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: thirty we'll see. We'll see in Game one tonight. Let's

180
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: talk about the finals a little bit. I want to know,

181
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: because you're going through all these guys are listing it

182
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: seems like Rizzo No's ball, which we love to hear.

183
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: What's the most pressing question do you think about these

184
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: NBA Finals when it comes to your Knicks trying to

185
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: pull off Let's let's be honest here, the upset. They're

186
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: the underdog heading against one Minyam in the Spurs what

187
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: are like a question or two that you're sort of

188
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: watching or zero inning in on.

189
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: You know, it's very interesting because I, as somebody that's

190
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: been watching the NBA Playoffs, really ask myself that I think,

191
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: out of everybody the Spurs have faced, I feel like

192
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: the Knicks are the toughest matchup for them. So the

193
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: fact that we're coming in as underdogs is quite surprising

194
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: to me because when I look at the matchups, I

195
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: think who on the Spurs is guarding oj Anobi? Who

196
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: on the Spurs is guarding mckel Bridges? Like the Spurs

197
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 2: put out a four guard lineup in a sense, right,

198
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: you got Darren Fox, Dylan Harper, Castle Vassel. I think

199
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: for me it's who is Wenby going to guard? And

200
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: if it is Kat, how are the Spurs going to

201
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: stop the Knicks? I think it would be naive to

202
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: think the Knicks are going to stop when Ben Yama.

203
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: I think Oji will do a good job to contain him.

204
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 2: I mean, we saw it in the NBA Cup when

205
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: the Nicks beat them. But I don't think it's smart

206
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 2: to think we're gonna shut down Wenby for seven games.

207
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: My question is more for the Spurs, what they're going

208
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: to do to stop the Knicks because the Knicks are

209
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: firing in all cylinders. Man, I mean the Knicks are

210
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: pretty much beating everybody by like twenty plus points. I

211
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: think my biggest question is will the Knicks long rest

212
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 2: affect them heading into this game one tonight, end this series?

213
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: I think that's my biggest question.

214
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fair enough, this rest versus rust, We've been

215
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: talking about it. And then the whole Knicks on the

216
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: eleven game win streak and dominating teams like you said,

217
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: But then you're like, is that because of the competition

218
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: they're playing or are they that good? We finally get

219
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: to find out tonight. Obviously in Game one in San Antonio.

220
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: How big a deal is Mitchell Robinson's broken pinky finger?

221
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: To you? Is this a big deal, medium deal, small deal?

222
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: What do you think?

223
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: So at first it was a very big deal because

224
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: I thought Mitchell Robinson, or I think Mitchell Robinson rather,

225
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: it's gonna be one of our Wemby stoppers. Right, You're

226
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: gonna have Og on them, You're gonna have Michel Maybe

227
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: on them, You're gonna have Mitchell Robinson on them, and

228
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: obviously breaks his finger and it's like, Wow, you decided

229
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: to break your finger on your rest day, Like, what

230
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: did you do? Probably driving this big four wheel and

231
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: four fifty that he always does. But based on what

232
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: I'm seeing on social media, obviously I don't want to

233
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: believe everything I see. He looks fine. I mean he's

234
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 2: running full sprints at the Frost Bank Arena and dunk

235
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: in the ball, so I think we'll be fine. I mean,

236
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: it's a broken pinky. If Kobe can play with a

237
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: torn acl or torn achilles and sugar free throw, I'm

238
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: expecting Mitchell Robbinson to put his big boy pants on

239
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: and play some basketball.

240
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: Did you ever get an injury out there on Survivor

241
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: in your two seasons? Anything you know that we I

242
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: can't remember being shown on the show, but yeah.

243
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: So not an injury. But season forty nine, it's very

244
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: notorious for Jeff Probe saying it's the hottest season in Fiji,

245
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 2: so early days we were playing in probably one hundred

246
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: degree weather. Nate from my season back in the Uli

247
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: Tribe when we did the wall competition where we had

248
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 2: to raise everybody on the wall me and they actually

249
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 2: fainted after we like walked out because it was so

250
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: so hot, but I don't think the cameras were so

251
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 2: Me and Nate just like had a heat stroke. Well

252
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's stroke is the right word.

253
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: I guess it is. Yeah, where we just kind of

254
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: like fainted due to the heat. So besides that, I

255
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 2: never had any injuries luckily.

256
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: Okay, good to know. Which current New York Knicks player

257
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: do you think would be best at Survivor?

258
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: Well, that's a good question. I would probably say, like

259
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: somebody that's a smooth talker. So who on the Knicks

260
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 2: is a smooth talker? I think Josh Hart is a

261
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: good one. I think Josh Hart's got a lot of grit.

262
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: He's kind of like that utility guy. He's the heart,

263
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: no pun intended of the team, and I think he'd

264
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: kind of be the glue guy on Survivor, famously coined

265
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: by Sam Falen, the glue Guy. So I think Josh

266
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 2: Hart would probably do best. I like Deuce as well.

267
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: I think Deuce is like the most likable guy on

268
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: the Knicks, so I think he'd be pretty likable out

269
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: on the island because the reality is you could be

270
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: the best strategic player on Survivor, like myself. At the

271
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 2: end of the day, if you're not well liked by

272
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 2: your cast, it's going to be hard for you to win.

273
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: I like Josh. I think Josh Hart's a really good

274
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: as Yeah, he seems very likable and super Yeah. I mean,

275
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: you know all about likability.

276
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: They're already in the stream team here saying this guy's

277
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 3: got to be a regular, how.

278
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: Likeable you are.

279
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 3: But like, look, things weren't all gravy for the next

280
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 3: this year. They were down two to one after CJ

281
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 3: McCollum hit a couple of game winners. They had that

282
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 3: patch after winning the NBA Cup where they were playing

283
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 3: basically five hundred basketball. Things changed in Game four of

284
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 3: the Atlanta series. Did you see this finals run coming

285
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 3: for the next or are you even a little bit

286
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: surprised to see the way they're playing like such team

287
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: oriented basketball?

288
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 2: Surprise is definitely the case. I will say, like every

289
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: delusional Knicks fan, you always come into it saying this

290
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: is our year, this is our year. And obviously, with

291
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: Tatum being sidelined pretty much for the entire season, Boston's

292
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: kind of out of the running. No one expected them

293
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: to blow three one lead, But I thought to myself,

294
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: if we could get through Boston, we'll definitely make the finals.

295
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: But the fact that we've gone through the finals and

296
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 2: cut steamrolled the entire finals is kind of crazy. So

297
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: now that we're here, and I'm going to be very honest,

298
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 2: obviously this is not wishful thinking, but I feel like

299
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: this is the next year. If they don't take it

300
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: this year, I don't know if we'll ever see the

301
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 2: Knicks win the finals in my lifetime. I think the

302
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: team that they're playing, obviously the Spurs are very good,

303
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: but the Spurs are very young, you know what I mean.

304
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 2: And if there's an inexperienced team to go at it,

305
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: it's got to be the Knicks. I mean, Jalen Brunson, Cat,

306
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 2: like all these guys, OG's wanted to ring like this

307
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 2: is the team that can do it. And I think

308
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,599
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson isn't going to take these thirty shots like

309
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: how we did in years past. I think the Knicks

310
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: are a lot more are there more deeper. I think

311
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 2: you can rely on Cat to score, you can rely

312
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 2: on OG. I don't know if we can rely on

313
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 2: mckel bridges yet, but obviously Jalen Brunson I think the

314
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: Knicks have what it takes to win. And I don't

315
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 2: know if this is too early in the podcast, but

316
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: I really think I got the Knicks winning in six

317
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 2: games here.

318
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: Okay, perfect timing.

319
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: Once Brunson came over, things obviously changed for New York,

320
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: but there was definitely criticism at the time that this

321
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 3: deal was too big for him. What were your thoughts

322
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: on Jalen Brunson coming from Dallas to New York before

323
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 3: you saw him play in the next year uniform.

324
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what's crazy about the Knicks is everybody

325
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 2: talks about wanting to play for New York. You see

326
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: so many great stars come out of New York, Aaron Judge,

327
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: Derek Jeter, Odell Beckham Junior. But sadly for the Knicks,

328
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: we really haven't had a big name aside from Carmelo

329
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: since Patrick Ewing. So I felt like nobody really wants

330
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: to play at Madison Square guard because the lights are

331
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: too bright. And when we got Jalen Brunts and everyone

332
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: you know that doesn't know ball is like, who the

333
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: hell did we just give two hundred million dollars to?

334
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 2: But if you really watched his last year in Dallas,

335
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: when Luca went out, Jalen Brunson was given the Utah

336
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: Jazz thirty. Like, Jalen Brunson proved in that series that

337
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: he is a player that can be the number one option.

338
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: So I was optimistic because at the end of the day,

339
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: we need to give money to somebody that wants to

340
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: come play for us. And I was very optimistic. And

341
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: it's proven dividends because ever since Brunson's come here, the

342
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: Knicks have been a relevant team. And you know, obviously

343
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: we play in a really crappy East. I mean, the

344
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: Pacers to the finals. Obviously the Celtics have made it

345
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: not but the Celtics are crappy. But I think this

346
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: is the time for the Knicks to strike, especially for

347
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: a week East, and I'm hoping that Brunson can bring

348
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: it home for the boys.

349
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I mean we've been debating already where Jaalen

350
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: Brunson sort of falls in the greatest Knicks of all time?

351
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: Would you have him on your Mount Rushmore? Rizzo close, Like,

352
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, let's let's let's answer it that way. Who's

353
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: on your Knicks Mount Rushmore your top four?

354
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: So for me, Patrick Ewing, no doubt about it. Walt

355
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: Clyde Fraser, Carmelo Anthony, and fourth you could do Bernard King,

356
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: you can do Willis Reid. I'm just gonna go David

357
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: Lee off personal preference, yes, yes, yes, but if I

358
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: had to go, like you know, based on all time history,

359
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: Willis Reid, Patrick Ewing, Walt Clyde Fraser, and Carmelo Anthony.

360
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: I do think that Brunson's knocking on the door and

361
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: taking Carmelo out to be quite on honest. Yeah, And

362
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: if he wins this ring, I think he one secures it.

363
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: I just think what Mellow has done in terms of

364
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: a cultural impact for New York is kind of hard

365
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: to take out. But I think if Brunson wins it,

366
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: no doubt, and especially if he secures the finals MVP,

367
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: I think no doubt about it. He's on that mount rush.

368
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: Yes, his face would be chiseled.

369
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: Oh maybe win mayor if he wins, a y better

370
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: gets to step in.

371
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's right. I mean the best thing about

372
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: Brunson And again we're gonna see and not like we're

373
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: getting ahead of ourselves. We're gonna find out here over

374
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: these next four to seven games. But like, this guy

375
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: is just a winner his whole life. He's a winner. Yes,

376
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: he won a ton of games in high school, he

377
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: won obviously at Villanova a couple of championships, and now

378
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: coming to New York, he's made them into a winning

379
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: franchise here in program and obviously they got to get

380
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: the final one here. But yeah, I mean everyone wants

381
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: to doubt him and Alwa's too slow, too small, whatever whatever.

382
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: It's like, the guy just wins games and obviously has

383
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: an impact on the other guys around him because of

384
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: his mentality, the way he approaches it that has them

385
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: believe it. So I can't wait to see. I love

386
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: that we have a generational talent here in Webbin Yama

387
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: versus like this sort of like tiny Brunson and this

388
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: team of Destiny. Someone that are calling it. I can't wait, man,

389
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: I'm so hyped. And sounds like you are too risol

390
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: for this series.

391
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm super excited. To be honest, I'm super glad

392
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 2: it's the Spurs because while obviously I want the Knicks

393
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: to win, I think wemby being the face of the

394
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 2: league and being as dominant in an alien as he is,

395
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,479
Speaker 2: it is a good story book ending as well. If

396
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: the Spurs to win. Obviously, I don't want that to happen,

397
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: but I'm sick and tired of seeing SGA flop his

398
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 2: way through another finals.

399
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Afric King Jalen Bruns and this guy never flops.

400
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: Listen, he plays for New York So I need but

401
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: I think I would love to see the Spurs or

402
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: the Knicks come out top. I think, Okay, see getting

403
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: knocked down was it was good for basketball?

404
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: You're also a big WWE guy and NHL guy. I

405
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: mean you like golf sports. It sounds like, yeah, you know,

406
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: do you have a favorite in those other sport? I mean, ww,

407
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: it is a sport. I believe it is. Yeah, who

408
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: is your who's your favorites? You know, across some of

409
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: these other sports.

410
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 2: So if for all my survivor people that like listen

411
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: to exit press or preseason press, I talk about John Cena.

412
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 2: You can literally see a photo behind me of me

413
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 2: and my girlfriend, the Liz Got meeting John Cena. John

414
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 2: Cena is the reason why the Risk God was birthed,

415
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 2: was it was born. Johnsena always talked about never give up,

416
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: and as somebody that grew up the way that I

417
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: grew up, I always said I'm never going to give

418
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 2: up because John Cena never grew up. He gave me

419
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: the confidence to become the man the bit the legend

420
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: or I c g O D. So for me, it's

421
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: always been John Cena. And then when it comes to

422
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: other sports. For Rangers, I'm a big r Timmy Panairen

423
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: guy love Panera and obviously we shipped him off baseball.

424
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 2: Derek Jeters my captain, so I would say for those

425
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: for those teams, those are all my favorites.

426
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: So I mean, could we see the Riz God himself

427
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: in a in a w w E in the future,

428
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: Because I didn't really ever think this, but like, is

429
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: this risk God persona and the catchphrase and all that

430
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: like inspired like you said, from John Cena and wrestling.

431
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: I think I would have to probably either take some

432
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: steroids or put on like fifty pounds of muscle before

433
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: Triple H puts me in a WWE ring. But I

434
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: will say if they ever need a manager to cut

435
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 2: a promo and I have to hurt a wrestler's feelings,

436
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 2: I could definitely come out the man that the legend

437
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 2: can burn some folks, and I would love to do that.

438
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: But in ring ability. I think I would get literally destroyed,

439
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: Like if Roman reigns spared me, I would literally go

440
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 2: to the gulag. So I don't know if that will

441
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: that's in the cars anytime in the future.

442
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, sounds dangerous.

443
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 2: When did you When did you become the ris God?

444
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 3: I mean, grown up, you're probably Rizzo, but now eventually

445
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 3: you became the man, the myth fol legend.

446
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: When did that happen? So it probably happened around my

447
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: sophomore junior year of high school. I was around fifteen,

448
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: sixteen years old. I think for a lot of you know,

449
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 2: young guys, young kids, they're just you know, go through puberty.

450
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 2: You're like yo. Like I'm like, you're just you know,

451
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 2: screaming in locker rooms and whatnot. And I think what

452
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 2: really gave me the confidence is starting to really realize

453
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 2: what I was doing as a young kid comparatively to

454
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 2: all my colleagues, all my friends. You know, I did

455
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 2: my parents' taxes growing up. I helped my parents close

456
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 2: out a real estate deal for the first time. When

457
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 2: I was twenty years old and doing all these things,

458
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 2: all my friends are complaining, Oh man, I got to

459
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: do the dishes. I got to take out the trash.

460
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, buddy, I'm raising my young brother while my

461
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 2: parents were working two jobs and put food on the table.

462
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: So while I'm talking to all my friends and everybody

463
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: has a nickname, right, like you got TK, you got JD,

464
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 2: you got Skeets, I was just Rizzo, right, I want

465
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: a cool freaking nickname. So you know this is you know,

466
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: actually Kristaps porzingis kind of gives the law about this

467
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: because growing up a lot of people called porzingis poor

468
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 2: Risgod or poor Zing God. Yeah, And I was like, ah,

469
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 2: poor Zing God, poor riz good, Riz God. And I

470
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: was like, yo, you know what, like riskon kind of

471
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 2: goes with it. And then you know, I grew up

472
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: watching How I Met Your Mother Neil Patrick Harris was

473
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 2: the man, the the legend, and then I kind of

474
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 2: like made it my own thing, made it my slogan.

475
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: So I was the Manda the legend or Izgod you

476
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: Riscott bybe way before Survivor, it was my socials growing up.

477
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: All my friends call me Riz God. It's kind of

478
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: like the normal like saying, you know, some people on Survivor.

479
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: The reason why I'm so polarising, He's like, oh my god,

480
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 2: why does he call himself Riscott? He thinks he's a

481
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: god like no Dufis. It's an inside joke that I

482
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: use to kind of hype myself up. So and the

483
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 2: Riscott's kind of taken off you. Whether you love me

484
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 2: or hate me, you can't deny the passion that I have.

485
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: And it's all thanks to the Riskott.

486
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: Incredible. He actually you brought up your socials riz God

487
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: thirty four on Instagram. I believe what what is the

488
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: thirty four for?

489
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: So that's just the number I grew up wearing, whether

490
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: it's basketball, baseball growing up. So and thirty four the

491
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 2: reason why I were that Bryce Harper one of my

492
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 2: favorite guys growing up. I love the cocky attitude baseball phenom.

493
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 2: He wore thirty four on the Nationals. So what that

494
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: was back in twenty eleven, So I was an eleven

495
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,719
Speaker 2: year old kid, I was like, I'm going to make

496
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: thirty four my number one show. Hence Rizcott thirty four.

497
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 3: I've seen some of your men's highlights. We've seen you

498
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 3: hooping with our guy Wendell. What's the risk Gods game

499
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 3: like out there on the court.

500
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest, man, I think I have a

501
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 2: lot of shades of Luka Doncic. I think my lefty

502
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: step back.

503
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: You do do that play a lot? Yeah, that's that

504
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: last spamming the step back.

505
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 2: Yes, I do spam the step back. I think I

506
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 2: pretty good. In my mental league, I averaged like thirteen

507
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: fourteen points as the second option. Pretty good. Wendell did,

508
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 2: unfortunately beat me, but Wendall took it back to the

509
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: nineties and took me on the low post and just

510
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 2: kind of drove straight to me. I was fresh off

511
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 2: Survivor a few months. I was down my normal weight.

512
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 2: So Wendell and I are gonna have to run it back.

513
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: Q and I footage should come out relatively soon whenever

514
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 2: Wendall wants to post that, so that will be really fun.

515
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, So who do you think is the best

516
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: Survivor Basketball player? And we'll obviously take out of the

517
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: equation actual NBA players that played Survivor Rest in peace,

518
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: Clifford Robinson, but Scott Pollard, but like, yeah, who love

519
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: everybody else.

520
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 2: I haven't had the luxury of playing a lot of

521
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 2: my contestants, and this is an open challenge here on

522
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: no dunks that if any Survivor alumni wants to take

523
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 2: on the risk, God, they know where to find me.

524
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 2: We can make it happen. I will say Q, as

525
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 2: a former D one athlete, as a former wide receiver

526
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: at Ole Miss, is pretty good. Gwendel is pretty good

527
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: on his own right. I've heard that Jelinsky first foot

528
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: of season forty six is decent. So I've heard some

529
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: people are pretty good. But it's one thing to say

530
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 2: you're good and actually be good. So I don't know.

531
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 2: I would love to do like a Survivor five on

532
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 2: five pickup see what happens, because one on one is

533
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: also different from five to five. I think I'm a

534
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 2: lot better five v five than I am one on one,

535
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I think we should play a

536
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 2: pickup game. Oh yeah, with skeets, like we should see

537
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: what happens.

538
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna make this a reality.

539
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll gladly broadcast the Survivor five on fives. We'll

540
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 3: enter our own team, the Outsiders. When you're out there

541
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 3: on the island, are you talking NBA with anybody out there?

542
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 2: Oh, Man, Survivor forty nine, I did not talk to anybody.

543
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: I'm obviously famously aligned with Savannah Sof and I, so

544
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 2: they didn't really have anything to do with NBA or

545
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 2: sports in general, so I would obviously make references. I

546
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 2: actually did get a Luca reference in and Survivor forty nine.

547
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: If you guys remember shot the basketball said for Luca.

548
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: Nobody knew what the hell I was saying. They thought

549
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 2: I was speaking gibberish out there. So I did actually

550
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: talk to Nate Moore, my glorious King Nate Moore about

551
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 2: basketball out there. He's a big Clippers guy, So we

552
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: did talk NBA very briefly. But Survivor fifty, I don't know.

553
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: Maybe I was just so locked in so like as

554
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: a super fan, wanting to know about everybody and just

555
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 2: wanting to cement my legacy. I don't think sports was

556
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: ever talked there. Maybe besides me telling Q I'm going

557
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 2: to beat his ass in basketball even on the island,

558
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 2: that's the only NBA talk that I really had out there.

559
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: Okay, well, look, we got a lot more questions here

560
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: about Survivor. But for the record, you do have Nixon

561
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: six and you're going You're going Brunton Finals, MVP.

562
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 2: Is that fair to say I'm actually Tyler Coolik. I'll

563
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 2: play the mortgage on it. Now. I'm gonna go with

564
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: ogn andover. He's gonna be the Webb stopper. He's gonna

565
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: have an andre Iguidala Kawhi Leonard type NBA Finals MVP

566

00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: Let's start with that talk, like you said or alluded

592
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: to Rizzo about you know, your weight dropping because you

593
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: played back to back seasons. For those that don't know,

594
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: they filmed these right back to back. So you played

595
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: season forty nine, you went home for what nine or

596
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: ten days, and then came back for season fifty after

597
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: you got the invite for this like legendary huge season.

598
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: First off, how much weight have you put on since

599
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: you've stopped playing Survivor? And then how did you look

600
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: at that quick turnaround? Was it a hindrance or was

601
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: it in a weird way in advantage because you were

602
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: locked into the game of Survivor.

603
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I lost fifty forty six to fifty pounds

604
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: from the two seasons that I did. Wow, I walked.

605
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 2: I walked in day one of Survivor forty nine, where

606
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 2: I infamously cheated off the puzzle from Alex for the

607
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 2: Fights for supplies at one hundred and seventy four pounds.

608
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: After losing fire on Survivor fifty they obviously weigh you

609
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 2: when you get to Ponderosa. I was a one hundred

610
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 2: and twenty eight pounds, which as someone that's six foot

611
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: one like pretty in shape, I looked really really rough

612
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 2: out there. It was crazy and to this day, what

613
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 2: is it June third of twenty twenty six, a year later,

614
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 2: roughly about I am actually one seventy three. I'm back

615
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 2: to my normal weight, like nothing happened. So luckily I'm

616
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 2: all good. Nothing you know, major happened to me. But

617
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 2: when it comes to my turnaround, I, as a Survivors savant,

618
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 2: know all the history and the lord with Survivor. So

619
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 2: when Jeff gives me the call, literally before I even

620
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 2: go home after Survivor forty and I asked me to

621
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 2: be on Survivor fifty, I was like, Wow, First of all,

622
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 2: my ego is already through the roof. I made it

623
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 2: to the final, or had I beat Savannah on Fire,

624
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 2: I could have won. And Jeff is gonna ask me.

625
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: He has the audacity to ask me to play not again,

626
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: but on season fifty, the biggest season of all time.

627
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: My like, my ego is going through the roof. So

628
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, of course I'm gonna do it. And I

629
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 2: think I had a big advantage because you know, you

630
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: see people like Malcolm Russell, Hansa and a Kimmel that

631
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 2: come back to back go very deep again. So with

632
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 2: the way I played Survivor forty nine, loud, voisterous, borstreous,

633
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 2: with this freaking idol, I thought this is going to

634
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: be so so great. And I also knew that Savannah

635
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 2: was coming back too, so I was like, I have

636
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 2: my number one ally coming with me too. This is

637
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: like a Christmas miracle. So I think I had the

638
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: advantage that A these people had no idea how I played,

639
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 2: and B I was already so dialed in game mode,

640
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. There's some people like Coach

641
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 2: or Jenna or Chrissy who haven't played in like seven, ten,

642
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: twenty years that they have to get to the groove

643
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: of these things where I really seeing the same camera crew,

644
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: the same beaches, Jeff Probes, who I've seen longer than

645
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 2: I saw on my own mother at that period. So like,

646
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,479
Speaker 2: I'm I'm kind of like used to everything. I'm used

647
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: to the time change, I'm used to the environment. So

648
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 2: I had that big advantage going into it, and I

649
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: think what I needed to do, which I did so well,

650
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: was I just needed to survive the first one or

651
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: two votes. Right once I got past the first two

652
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: votes where people were like, I don't know who this

653
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: kid is, they were going to really like me. And

654
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: you see that with Kolby, you see that with Suri.

655
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 2: So I got very lucky that they gave me a

656
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 2: chance and it helped me go deep.

657
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 4: How did Liz God take you going back so soon

658
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 4: like you went back for nine days? Was pissed?

659
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I wouldn't say she was pissed, but

660
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 2: she was definitely going through it because you know, I

661
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 2: knew I was gonna be on Survivor. I didn't officially

662
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 2: know until like a month before we went out for

663
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,479
Speaker 2: forty nine, but during the casting process. It's a very

664
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: long process, like eight to ten months. When I got

665
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 2: that first call from Jeff, like just trying to to

666
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: know me, I knew. I was like, this guy really

667
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 2: likes the ris good. He's digging the risk good. So

668
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 2: we had eight months to prepare that I was going

669
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 2: to be on the show. So she was mentally preparing.

670
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: Did I think I had a chance at fifty? Maybe

671
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: five percent, But that's just my ego talking. I thought

672
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to do so well on forty nine that

673
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: they got asked me back for fifty. But I never

674
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: thought that, so Liz God and I never really prepared

675
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: for that. So when I came home, I already committed

676
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,479
Speaker 2: to fifty without even talking to my family. They're all

677
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 2: so happy. Oh my god, Rizzo, you look like you

678
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 2: are dying out there. He looks so skinny, and I'm

679
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: crying at the airport. I'm like, guy, stop crying because

680
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: I'm leaving again next week in the place fifty. And

681
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 2: the emotions were flowing. But she was so happy because

682
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 2: all I've ever talked about with her and the seven

683
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 2: years we've been together is I'm going to be on Survivor.

684
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be on Survivor. I'm going to be on Survivor.

685
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 2: And the fact that I did it not once but

686
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 2: twice for the biggest season of all time. She was super,

687
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: super proud.

688
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: What did you do during those nine days back in

689
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: the States back home? I mean, we know you didn't practice,

690
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: we can get it done. Yeah, but what else did

691
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: you do?

692
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

693
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 3: You're like, let me check out and see what happened

694
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 3: in this mixt series and see the Tyrese Haliburton shot.

695
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: What yep, yep. It was so funny because obviously now

696
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 2: with what happened in fifty I've gotten a lot of

697
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 2: flak for it, and I will say I have some

698
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: defense to all the cleves here because ultimately what I

699
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: feel like happened. Granted I went against the Goliath and

700
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 2: Jonathan and Fire. Even if I practiced Fire, I was

701
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 2: not going to beat him. But I was actually okay

702
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 2: at Fire, like I could spark it, I can make it.

703
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: I just choked when the lights were brightest. I went

704
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: to the NBA Finals, per se, and I just didn't

705
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: show up. I was the lebron in twenty eleven. That's

706
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: how I felt. So if the Rits God is out

707
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: there for Fire three point zero, put the mortgage that

708
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to come back, and A wain it. Let's

709
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: go on the real note. During the nine days, obviously,

710
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 2: I lost twenty five pounds in season forty nine, so

711
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: all I was thinking about is A, I'm going back

712
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: to play Survivor. B. I need to figure out who

713
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 2: I'm playing against. So those nine days, in terms of preparation,

714
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 2: really was just figuring out who I'm playing against, spending

715
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: time with my family, and just trying to load up

716
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: as much weight as possible, because one thing about Survivor

717
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 2: that was very shocking to me is I was really

718
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 2: bad at challenges. I thought I was going to be

719
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 2: so good. I'm an athletic guy. I go to the gym,

720
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do really really well. Forty nine humbled me

721
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: in that aspect that I'm not that good. So I

722
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 2: wanted to come back in fifty and do a little

723
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 2: bit better. And I would say like marginally I was

724
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: like ten percent better. I didn't go out first than

725
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 2: everything that I did, but I was just focused on

726
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: getting my body right, getting the weight, spending time with family,

727
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: and figuring out who I was playing against. I wasn't

728
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: too much focused on puzzles or making fires.

729
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: We had a no Dunk's slash no Buffs fan Lawrence

730
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: showed out to Lawrence, he wrote in asking a sort

731
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: of a question about what you're just talking about Rizzo,

732
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: He wrote, I've seen clips of you playing ball and

733
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: you show coordination, agility, athleticism. Why were you so bad

734
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: at the physical challenges? What are we missing as a

735
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: viewer that we can't understand how difficult these challenges are?

736
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: And we talked about it on no Bus. We're like,

737
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: this is a young guy, we know he's a hooper.

738
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: What is going on that in some of them? You know,

739
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: you seem to be getting like waxed in these things.

740
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: Is it what's not? What are we not getting or

741
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: is it just like the nerves of the challenges.

742
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: So I will say I do have a little bit

743
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 2: of an excuse when it comes to my Survivor career

744
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 2: because I have never ever gone to tribal council without

745
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: an idol in my pocket, so I kind of always

746
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: had that background safety net. So I will say Survivor

747
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 2: forty nine, there was a lot of endurance challenges, a

748
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 2: lot of lower body and I'm going against Savannah, who

749
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: does pilates and who's like a beast in these things.

750
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 2: So a lot of the reason why I did so bad.

751
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 2: Granted I was never going to win those I'm not

752
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 2: defending myself being starving, being hungry, and as somebody that

753
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: didn't eat the coconuts out there, that didn't eat the

754
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 2: fruits that are on the trees. I literally was going six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

755
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 2: eleven days without consuming anything, so my energy levels were

756
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: already super super low. But when I realized that, oh

757
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 2: my god, I'm about to go against Savannah and Steven

758
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 2: Ram in an endurance competition, I am not winning in this,

759
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 2: So why exert all this energy if I'm not going

760
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 2: to win. So I'm gonna try, but I'm not gonna

761
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 2: give it my risk got all and then obviously I

762
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 2: always go out first. So for me, if I didn't

763
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 2: think I had a chance at winning, I didn't try

764
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 2: my hardest. But when it comes to like these obstacle

765
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 2: courses and everything, like the one that really pisses me

766
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 2: off to this day is my Final four challenge in

767
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 2: season forty nine. Had I want immunity, I would have

768
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: been in the final three. But I couldn't figure out

769
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 2: how to make an eight piece mace puzzle because I

770
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 2: was so so distraught, so tired, so exhausted. And that's

771
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 2: the one where I was like, damn, I could have

772
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 2: won that one, but all the other challenges, I felt

773
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 2: like I just had no shot due to how much

774
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 2: energy I exerted and all the weight that I lost.

775
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 3: You mentioned not eating the coconuts, not eating the fruit.

776
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 3: One thing that a lot of people were complaining on

777
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 3: the on the Island was at the auction in fifty

778
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 3: Apparently you got these chicken breast and you didn't you

779
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 3: didn't treat them well, what was the deal with that?

780
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 2: I also think that I'm getting a lot of flak

781
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 2: because they're just piling on all the hate on the

782
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 2: new kid on the block. I will say the funniest

783
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 2: story was, I'm on this auction, I haven't eaten. I'm

784
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 2: waiting for a burger, for a steak, for something good.

785
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 2: So I bet whatever, I bet three hundred dollars and

786
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 2: Jeff reveals chicken breasts in broccoli, and I'm like, what

787
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,439
Speaker 2: the fuck is this? Like, I don't want to eat

788
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 2: this shit, So obviously my face drops and everyone's like

789
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 2: why are you complaining? This is exactly what you need

790
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 2: to eat. So I'm like a kid eating his veggies.

791
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm not super happy about it. So they're

792
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 2: all like basically ungrateful young head, blah blah blah, and

793
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, I'm eating this, okay, I'm just not

794
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 2: happy about it. So that's kind of the flat that

795
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 2: everybody was giving me, is that I wasn't grateful about

796
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: what I got because Jonathan's out here eating eating a

797
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 2: sea slug and he's like, brother, I would have did that.

798
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, you just really wanted, like you said, you

799
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: wanted the pizza, the burger. Yeah, yeah, something more, something

800
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: more classic healthy, not just some protein in broccoli.

801
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

802
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: I watched that.

803
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 4: I saw the unveiling.

804
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: I was like, boom, you did you did say that?

805
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 2: Come on.

806
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: Which which you know, survivor fifty focusing on that season,

807
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: your latest season, which Castaway made you the most starstruck?

808
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: And I know you've talked a little bit about this

809
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: before another podcast, and we obviously consume all this, but

810
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: for those that don't know, like these are all legends

811
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: of the game, who as a superfan, a self proclaiming superfan,

812
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: like were you just like, holy crap, that's so and so.

813
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think for me heading on the beach and

814
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 2: just being on that barge and seeing all twenty four

815
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 2: people lined up. My first Survivor season I ever watched live,

816
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 2: and I did not mention it in Star fifty was

817
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 2: Tokien Cheese season eighteen, the JT the Coach, the Stephen

818
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 2: fishback season. So seeing Coach right beside me was the

819
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 2: biggest moment of like, oh my god, I made it,

820
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 2: because it was a full circle moment for me and

821
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 2: I make it wasn't a joke as serious. When Coach

822
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,959
Speaker 2: gets voted out, I'm like, Coach, you changed my life,

823
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 2: And a lot of the fans are like, you're hella weird,

824
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 2: like how did Coach change your life? But as somebody

825
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 2: that first watched the show and saw Coach doing all

826
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: his coachesms and going to the Exile Island and all this,

827
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 2: he was one of the reasons why I fell in

828
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: love with the show. And now eighteen years later I'm

829
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 2: playing on this same season as him. Really meant a

830
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: lot to me and it felt full circle. So when

831
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 2: I first saw Coach, I was like, holy crap, Like

832
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: eight year old Rizzo is going to go bananas and

833
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: then to see I kind of work with Coach and

834
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 2: I kind of calmed down by doing a pretty iconic line,

835
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 2: which I will say I don't remember saying until watching

836
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 2: the show back, was super super epic. The I don't

837
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 2: slay dragons at camp, we slam at tribal. So Coach

838
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 2: for me was the kind of the starstruck moment.

839
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: That's fair enough, especially if that was like the first

840
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,959
Speaker 1: season that you fell in love great season two, Token

841
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: Cheese grazous. Isn't JT one of your favorites of all time?

842
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: I forget?

843
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 2: He is my all time favorite. He's my goat.

844
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: That's a good pick. Yeah, do you uh?

845
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 3: You mentioned you wanted a Wenby comparison off the top?

846
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 3: Do you consider yourself the face of.

847
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,479
Speaker 1: The new era? A lot of people?

848
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 2: Do? You know? It's so hard because if we're off

849
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 2: air and like I'm just shooting the shit at the

850
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 2: bar with my boys, I would say that, but I

851
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 2: feel like what I learned after my Survivor tenure and

852
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: in Survivor fifty is that being super confident and blind

853
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 2: confident kind of rubs people the wrong way. So I'm

854
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 2: gonna leave the ball in your court, and to say that,

855
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 2: I do feel like I definitely left my mark in

856
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 2: the New Era. I feel like as someone that never

857
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 2: got voted out, and whether it's recency bias or whatnot,

858
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 2: I think you can't talk about the New era without

859
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 2: talking about the Rizgod. So I feel like I made

860
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 2: an impact. But in terms of the face of the

861
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 2: New Era, I'll let the fans and you guys decide

862
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 2: that do.

863
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: You think you could have won and beaten Aubrey if

864
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 1: you were in the final three and had successfully beat

865
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: Jonathan and Fire, does the risk God have a chance

866
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: to win that two million dollars prize or no.

867
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 2: So, as someone that knows the kind of game that

868
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 2: I played, I felt that I had a winning game.

869
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: But the way that Survivor is constructed is that it

870
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 2: doesn't matter what I think, it matters what the jury thinks.

871
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 2: And unfortunately for me, once Aubrey got to the final

872
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 2: three seats, I had no chance of beating her, just

873
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 2: on sheer legacy alone. Aubrey famously got to the end

874
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 2: of her first season people said she was robbed but

875
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 2: didn't win. So as that multiplayered storyline against someone like myself,

876
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 2: who they'd never even seen play. I told them how

877
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: I played Survivor forty nine, but for their perspective, I

878
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 2: could have been lying. I could have been like the

879
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 2: biggest asshole to ever play Survivor. And are they going

880
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 2: to give me the win over Aubrey? Probably not. So

881
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 2: my best shot at winning was against Joe, Jonathan and I,

882
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 2: and once Aubrey got to the final three, even if

883
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 2: I made fire, I was going to win.

884
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 3: How about in Survivor forty nine, are you confident you

885
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 3: would have taken home the crown if you make it

886
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 3: to final three?

887
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: So this is a great story amongst Trey's lay Chase,

888
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 2: Savannah and I. I genuinely do believe if I beat Savannah,

889
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 2: I really do take home to win because Savannah would

890
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: go to the jury and preach for me, just like

891
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 2: I preached for her and the jury. I think what

892
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: I learned in Survivor fifty that I didn't learn a

893
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 2: Survivor forty nine is nobody really knew how well I

894
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: played in Survivor forty nine till the end because all

895
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 2: of my allies were at the end. So in Survivor

896
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 2: fifty I was like, I can't go to the end

897
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 2: with Syria and OSSI obviously because the a would beat me.

898
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 2: But I need them to go to the jury and

899
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 2: tell them how good of a game I played. So

900
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 2: that's why I turn on them when I do, because

901
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 2: I need them to go to the jury and tell

902
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: everybody how good I was at Survivor. So I do

903
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 2: think if I beat Survivor or Sorry Savannah and Fire

904
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 2: and forty nine, I would have won the game. That's

905
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 2: the fire that burns me to this day because it's like, ah,

906
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 2: that's the million dollar fire. If I beat Jonathan and fifty,

907
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 2: I wasn't going to win. It was just more so like, haha, Jonathan,

908
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 2: you lost Fire or twice.

909
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: Right, So you think as soon as Aubrey won some

910
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: emotion and booked herself into the final tribal council, it

911
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: was you weren't beating her At the very least you

912
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: think you had a chance maybe with Joe and Jonathan

913
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: and yourself sitting there. Correct, Yeah, that makes sense because

914
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: I was, and I was going to ask you, Yeah,

915
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 1: what was the strategy behind sort of turning and betraying

916
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: Siri's Wizard of Oz and the alliance you guys had

917
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 1: with Siria and Ozzie, but you just explained it. You're

918
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: thinking I need to get them there to start maybe

919
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: going to bat for me. Do you know if they

920
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: did or not? Like were they talking up your game

921
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: at Ponderosa and on the jury, so.

922
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 2: I think, okay, this is a loaded questions. So they

923
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 2: did not. Unfortunately, Ozzie was very upset with me, obviously

924
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 2: because he felt like he felt like we were all

925
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 2: locked in, and he basically said that he wanted to

926
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 2: go to the end with us. But of course he

927
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 2: wanted to go to the end with us because I

928
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 2: wasn't going to win. He would he a mercerie would

929
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 2: have won, so I obviously had to make the turn.

930
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 2: He felt a little upset about that. Suri kind of

931
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 2: was vouching for me if I made it to the

932
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 2: final three. She was telling people what I was doing

933
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 2: and whatnot, but she wasn't actively campaigning for me. I

934
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: think the Survivor fifty jury was very interesting because it's

935
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 2: all attorney players that have all been there before, so

936
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 2: they all kind of had their own agendas, and no

937
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 2: one person could go into the jury and say, we

938
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 2: need this person to win because everybody kind of was

939
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 2: doing their own thing, where as Survivor forty nine everybody's

940
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 2: talking to everybody because they want to pick the right winner,

941
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 2: Whereas I feel like a cast of attorney players just

942
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 2: had their own agendas.

943
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 4: Sure, Rizzo, I mean you don't have to answer this,

944
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 4: but your edit, I mean I feel like we got

945
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 4: to know you pretty well. Was there anything that was

946
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 4: left on the cunning room floor that left a part

947
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 4: of your personality out or something that you were unhappy

948
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 4: with with your edit?

949
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 2: What I will say, JD is out of twenty six

950
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 2: straight episodes, I am so grateful for how Survivor portrayed me.

951
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 2: I think they really gave me a multifaceted edit from

952
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 2: forty nine too fifty Obviously in Survivor fifty what I

953
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 2: want all my moves to be displayed. Sure, but I

954
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 2: didn't win, so like what I got, I'm super happy with.

955
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 2: I talk about legacy. I had a great episode and

956
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 2: then Charlie Blindside, which was super fun. Serrees rizard of

957
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 2: Oz like oh, I had so many great moments. I'm

958
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 2: so happy they showed my Albanian heritage. They showed all

959
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 2: the funny moments in forty nine where I couldn't go

960
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 2: spear fishing. They allowed me to and I picked this out.

961
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 2: I said, you know, production, can I do a confessional

962
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 2: with the storkling gear on? They're like absolutely. They gave me,

963
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 2: they gave me the keys, they let me. They put

964
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 2: in so many ri C g o D's Riz God

965
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 2: babies when they didn't have to. They showed my great

966
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: alliance with Savanna, and so if they showed my love letters, like,

967
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 2: I'm so happy with the edit. They really did be

968
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 2: a justice and I'm super grateful for it.

969
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: After watching the seasons, I guess back plural, you know,

970
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: did you have a favorite a favorite moment of yours

971
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: if you had to pick from all these ones you

972
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: just sort of went through. I mean, we have one

973
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: of our favorites. And it feels like some of the

974
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: Survivor community is when you're still doing the Riz g

975
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: o D breaking down in tears, I mean, yeah, I

976
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: mean it's a low moment for you, I'm sure, but

977
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 1: it is very funny to see someone through the tears

978
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: still getting out the slogan. But we yeah, what's your

979
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: personal favorite or scene or moment or whatever.

980
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 2: So I'll touch upon that really quickly because it's so funny. Obviously,

981
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 2: like I'm having kind of like a mental breakdown at

982
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 2: the end because it's like, oh my god, I'm going

983
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 2: through this and I didn't realize that a that would

984
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 2: make the show and be resonate with people that it did,

985
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 2: and it's so funny. Looking back, I was like, Wow,

986
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 2: I really did commit to the risk through it all.

987
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm talking about, where I stay through

988
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 2: character no matter what, I'll never break character. So that

989
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 2: was a great moment. I will say, it's so hard

990
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 2: because there's so many great moments. I'll do my favorite

991
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 2: moment from forty nine and fifty. My favorite moment from

992
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 2: forty nine, I think was the Juwan tribal Council where

993
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 2: Savannah and I kind of like and I love Juwan,

994
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 2: but like rub it in his face a little bit.

995
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 2: I play the fake idol and Savannah's like, oh, Juwan,

996
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 2: you did this to me, knowing that we got them good.

997
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 2: That tribal council was pretty iconic. I loved that one.

998
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 2: And then Survivor fifty, I think my voting confessional when

999
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 2: I voted out Charlie was so great because you know

1000
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 2: that whole tribal Council where three D Camilla and I

1001
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,280
Speaker 2: vote out Charlie. You know, Rick, Devins, Jonathan, and Charlie

1002
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 2: are all like man Rizzo didn't see himself play like

1003
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 2: he doesn't know how he comes across thinking that they're

1004
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 2: going to vote me out. But in reality, I'm like, oh,

1005
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 2: I got you guys good, and then me and Charlie

1006
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 2: are great friends. I love Charlie, that's my guy. I'm

1007
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 2: super happy for all the success he's got coming his way.

1008
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 2: But when I do the iconic Taylor Swift vote out

1009
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 2: confessional about whatever, this isn't a love story that will

1010
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 2: be black though I really loved it just because it

1011
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 2: was a great, great moment and a great episode for me.

1012
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 2: So I would say those are my two favorite moments

1013
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 2: across the seasons.

1014
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: Can you talk a little bit more about that seemingly

1015
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: one way rivalry between you and Charlie, at least from

1016
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: the edit, like what was going on?

1017
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 2: He was so upseeded with you, So I mean, upon

1018
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 2: reflection and watching it back, I then realized like, oh,

1019
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 2: I probably shouldn't ask Charlie about all these things because guys,

1020
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 2: to put into perspective, Charlie wasn't the only person I

1021
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 2: was doing this with it. I was asking everybody about

1022
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 2: their survival lor I was like, Colby, why did you

1023
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 2: take Tina to the final two when you know you

1024
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 2: couldn't beat Keith Stephanie, how did it feel to come

1025
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 2: back in Guatemala and lose after being America's sweetheart? Like,

1026
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 2: I'm just asking everybody this, So Charlie obviously, naturally, and

1027
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 2: you know, the edit kind of did me dirty. It

1028
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 2: kind of looked like I just said, so, Charlie, how's you?

1029
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 2: And Maria? Like we're talking for hours at that point.

1030
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 2: So obviously I had no idea. The reason why I

1031
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 2: thought Charlie was targeting me was I was the only

1032
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 2: person from my original swap tribe on that new tribe.

1033
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 2: So I thought, oh, Charlie just wants the easy way out.

1034
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 2: He just wants to take me out. And I had

1035
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 2: no idea about any of this until I'm watching this show,

1036
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: and I watched the episode. I'm texting Charlie. I'm like,

1037
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 2: oh my god, I'm so sorry I gave you this PTSD,

1038
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 2: and Charlie's laughing with me. He's like Rizzo, honestly, like,

1039
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 2: I felt very comfortable in my position, so I just

1040
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 2: wanted to do a funny storyline, so I think Charlie

1041
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 2: played it up a little bit for the cameras. I

1042
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 2: don't think he like couldn't sleep at night because I

1043
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 2: didn't come for my number one And obviously the number

1044
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 2: one thing was false, Like, obviously Sophie was my close ally,

1045
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 2: but Savannah was my number one. Me and Savannah concocted

1046
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 2: this story that we weren't close to each other because

1047
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 2: if we did get together in a merge or swap,

1048
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 2: we didn't want to be immediately targeted because we were friends.

1049
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: So I had to play up that story. But obviously

1050
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 2: it kind of bit me in the ass a little

1051
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 2: bit because Charlie was out for vengeance. So it was

1052
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 2: funny watching it back. But I will say I don't

1053
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 2: think Charlie was as butt hurt. I think he was

1054
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 2: just playing up for the cameras.

1055
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 4: Those are some of my favorite shots of Survivor fifty,

1056
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 4: Just Charlie in the background, smoldering intensity, just laser beams

1057
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 4: at you, and you had no idea what was happening

1058
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 4: until you're watching it.

1059
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: Wasn't there the one where Charlie's like wakes you up,

1060
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: You're lying in the boat. Oh my god, it was

1061
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: just staring at you, waiting for you away. Oh that's

1062
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: a great sweet that's so good.

1063
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, that scene was so funny because that's the scene

1064
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 2: that I realized. I was like, Charlie, you're like moving

1065
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 2: kind of different. And that's when I targeted Charlie. It's like,

1066
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 2: you're waking me up at four am. Mind, it's hard

1067
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 2: to get sleep out there, and you saw how I

1068
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 2: was sleeping on that bow. I was kind of comfy,

1069
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 2: and Charlie's like knock knocks, who would tell about the

1070
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 2: Billie Eilish Idol. I'm like looking at my imaginary clock,

1071
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 2: which is the moon, and I'm like, Charlie just woke

1072
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 2: me up at four am to ask me that the audacity.

1073
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 2: So it was super super fun.

1074
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: What did you think, especially watching it back again, of

1075
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: all the celebrities involved in season fifty, were you a

1076
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: fan of it when you were first out there and

1077
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: watching it back?

1078
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 2: Not?

1079
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: Like you know, this was a polarizing thing right to

1080
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 1: the survivor community.

1081
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 2: So what I will say, as somebody out there experiencing it,

1082
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 2: it was the best thing ever because Survivor's kind of

1083
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 2: like a gate kept community. You don't see anybody else

1084
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 2: besides the people you're playing with and obviously in production

1085
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 2: and crew, but you kind of like, you know, after

1086
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 2: a day, you don't even realize they're there. So when

1087
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 2: Zach Brown comes or mister Beast comes, or you heard

1088
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 2: about fall or you hear about Billy Ailish, you're like,

1089
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 2: holy crap, Like I'm about to be on the Jimmy

1090
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 2: Fallon show. You know what, I don't know, Like you

1091
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 2: just think about all these people that are a part

1092
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 2: of this big monumental season. So I loved it out there. Obviously,

1093
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 2: the backlash for the fans, you know, kind of puts

1094
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 2: in a perspective like should Zach Brown have more airtime

1095
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 2: than like a Tiffany? Probably not. But I think if

1096
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 2: you look at Survivor in a vacuum, like in a

1097
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 2: one episode, it was really cool, right, Like if you

1098
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 2: just look at that episode and say, Wow, they're getting

1099
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 2: a freak concert. They're getting a guy, a country singer

1100
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 2: to do all this, that's really cool. Mister Beast was amazing.

1101
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 2: I thought it was good for Survivor because we wanted

1102
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 2: to go another fifty seasons, right, of course we do,

1103
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 2: So you need to reach out to other audiences to

1104
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 2: get people to watch. So ultimately, do I think this

1105
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 2: should happen every season? Absolutely not, But for the fiftieth

1106
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:48,919
Speaker 2: I thought it was good.

1107
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: What was the Mister Beast night like?

1108
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 3: Because obviously you're a pretty emotional You're brother a huge

1109
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 3: Mister Beast fan. Him being there very cool, and then

1110
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 3: the prize money doubles. A lot was going on that night.

1111
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was crazy because I would say,

1112
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 2: out of all the tribal councils I've ever experienced, that

1113
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 2: one was the craziest because they never told us what

1114
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 2: mister Beast is doing. So leading up to tribal council

1115
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 2: was the most chaotic thing because we didn't know if

1116
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 2: we were voting somebody out. We didn't know if there

1117
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 2: was going to be a twist, So you have to

1118
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 2: come out with a plan after a plan, after a plan,

1119
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 2: So there had to be like three or four plants

1120
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,760
Speaker 2: just in case whatever happened. So we had no idea

1121
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 2: who was going home heading into that vote. It was

1122
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 2: very likely that Rick probably goes home because that was

1123
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 2: like the consensus that everybody can kind of do. So

1124
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:33,919
Speaker 2: when mister Beast comes out, it's like you can flip

1125
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 2: a coin for a million dollars for safety and for

1126
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 2: another idol. Everyone's like, holy crap, like this is crazy.

1127
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 2: My dumb ass is like, oh my god, I might

1128
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 2: flip this coin because like the adrenaline was so high.

1129
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 2: It was like, why wouldn't you want to be a

1130
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 2: part of this moment? You want to be who doesn't

1131
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 2: want to be in a Mister Beast Jeff prope sandwich

1132
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 2: right now and have this iconic moment. And I tweeted

1133
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 2: this funny moment. This is the one thing that didn't

1134
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 2: make the show that I'm like, ah, this would have

1135
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 2: been really funny. Is my My adrenaline is kicking. I'm

1136
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 2: talking about how much Mister Beast means to my brother.

1137
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, like I'm hyping myself up our I c

1138
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 2: g O d R I c g O D I'm

1139
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 2: thinking I'm gonna flip this coin. And I looked to

1140
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 2: Surre like smiling, and she like gives me this stern

1141
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 2: look like like she didn't say this obviously, but I

1142
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 2: can tell from her facial.

1143
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: You're not doing it, Like don't yeah, Like if you

1144
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: don't sit your ass.

1145
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 2: Down, you are not flipping that coin. And I'm like, Okay,

1146
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 2: she's right, I have an idol, I have a good alliance.

1147
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: If I flip this coin and go home, I'm the

1148
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 2: biggest idiot in Survivor history. And Rick was overtly like,

1149
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 2: I want to flip it. I want to of course,

1150
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 2: let him flip it. So that tribal council was super

1151
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,439
Speaker 2: sick obviously at Lance and like at that point where

1152
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 2: we just wanted Rick Devons to go home, We're like,

1153
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 2: I love Rick, Dad, it was super great.

1154
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 3: Did you think he was gonna did you think it

1155
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 3: was gonna come up Devons when he flipped it?

1156
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 1: Like, did you think it was gonna be a good

1157
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: flip for him?

1158
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,439
Speaker 2: So the reason why I wanted to flip the coin,

1159
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 2: it just felt like this is this is history, It's

1160
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 2: going to happen. So obviously Rick is very similar in

1161
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 2: the sense to me that we're very confident individuals when

1162
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 2: we play Survivor. So Rick, before he's flipping this coin,

1163
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 2: he's like, yeah, it's going I'm landing. I'm hitting it.

1164
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 2: I'm I'm hitting it. I'm like, yeah, you're hitting it.

1165
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 2: It felt so story booked to be it literally coin

1166
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 2: Lance and then it like rolls and then it lands flat.

1167
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 2: I'm like, Holy, this is cinema. This is cinema.

1168
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:20,919
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was great.

1169
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 4: So, as somebody who was there, what do you think

1170
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 4: would have happened? I mean, it would have been a

1171
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 4: huge bummer obviously if it had gone the other way.

1172
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 4: But did you have a sense that production would want

1173
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 4: to keep the Mister Beast thing going and like try

1174
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 4: to make the two million happen down like later on

1175
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 4: in the game or anything.

1176
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 2: I don't know. Obviously, I don't know the behind the

1177
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 2: scenes of it all, but I do and listen as

1178
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 2: somebody that's played Survivor twice. Survivor is so pure, their

1179
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 2: integrity is so high. They will never do anything to like,

1180
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,919
Speaker 2: you know, bullshit the game. So I think I don't

1181
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 2: think mister Beat would have came out in the final

1182
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 2: three and be like, all right, I have another coin

1183
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 2: with men, you know what I mean. So I do

1184
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 2: think it was a one and done. I will say

1185
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,479
Speaker 2: after the season talking to Survivor and production, They're like, dude,

1186
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 2: we were praying that hits, right, Yeah it doesn't hit.

1187
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:09,760
Speaker 2: It's like the biggest flop.

1188
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:10,399
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

1189
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 2: So so I think they were, you know, fingers crossed

1190
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 2: at it with Land and it luckily it did.

1191
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,439
Speaker 1: You were talking about when when you see mister Beast

1192
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: at the auction and then obviously you don't know what's

1193
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: going to go down at that tribal council with them.

1194
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: We debated here on the show for what felt like weeks,

1195
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: and I wonder if you guys talked about it, especially

1196
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: knowing mister Beast where we were convinced he was going

1197
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,479
Speaker 1: to come in and say, hey, five hundred thousand dollars

1198
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: if you leave the game right now, like some sort

1199
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: of like tease to get you to leave so they

1200
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: could dwindle the numbers down. Did you guys talk that

1201
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: through out there or no? Yeah, yeah, for sure.

1202
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 2: So I think me and Rick were definitely like the

1203
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 2: Mister Beast fans we watched these games watch so like

1204
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: we're like theorizing, like what could it be like if

1205
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 2: it's a because it's a briefcase right, like there might

1206
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 2: be a briefcase of a million dollars in there. Yeah,

1207
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 2: so we're all talking like are you guys going to

1208
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 2: take a million dollars whatever? Whatever? But I think that

1209
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 2: was definitely talked about. But I think we all came

1210
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 2: to a realization that like, that's just not Survivor. Yeah,

1211
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 2: so we were more thinking along lines like, oh, it's

1212
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 2: gonna be something to risk your elimination with, like a

1213
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,800
Speaker 2: coin flip, or like maybe a silly game, or like

1214
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 2: maybe the door, which I guess it kind of was

1215
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 2: a due or died from season forty one and forty two,

1216
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 2: where like you had to pick the box, but it

1217
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 2: was just a coin flip this time. But we felt

1218
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 2: like Jeff and Survivor wouldn't want someone to quit the

1219
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 2: game for money because it kind of ruins the whole point. Like,

1220
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 2: imagine if I just quit the game for a million dollars,

1221
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 2: but then all these people have to survive on an

1222
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 2: island for the jury to for a million dollars, so good,

1223
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 2: I would have took a million notes.

1224
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:46,760
Speaker 1: See here, I'm starving on a pizza.

1225
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 2: Uh.

1226
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 1: Can we talk a little bit about Suri and SI's missed. Yeah,

1227
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,280
Speaker 1: you got to play with her, You obviously were working

1228
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: with her for a long time. Is this real? Is

1229
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: she like that powerful and that goddamn good at this

1230
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: game and with people? Can you talk about her?

1231
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, she's she's She's the real deal. I think

1232
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 2: what makes Sourise so great and you don't really see

1233
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 2: it on TV how it happens, but she does such

1234
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 2: a good job of making you feel like you she

1235
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,359
Speaker 2: is with you, right and I think with Survivor Laura

1236
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 2: and I can't speak about this for everyone, but I

1237
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 2: think just the history of it all people who aligned

1238
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 2: with Souri tend to always win the game, like Maris Parvity,

1239
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 2: Sarah Lasina, everybody that plays with her wins. So I

1240
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 2: don't know if it's like I need Surri on my

1241
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 2: side or like I don't want to be the one

1242
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 2: to target Serie. Whatever the line of thinking is is

1243
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 2: you want to be on her good side. So Suri

1244
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 2: just makes you feel like she's a part of everyone.

1245
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 2: Everybody felt like she was with them. Christian Rick and

1246
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 2: Emily thought she was in alliance with them, the Honor

1247
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 2: and Integrity folks that she was with them, But in reality,

1248
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 2: I was Suri's like number one strategic partner. I mean,

1249
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 2: obviously Ozzie was close with her, but I feel like

1250
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 2: me and Curie saw the game very similarly. I think

1251
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 2: in many ways, I'm like Suri from Walmart or Kmart.

1252
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 2: If you will like budget version, of Suri in terms

1253
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 2: of how we play the game, but she relies on

1254
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 2: her social relationships with everyone, and everyone just comes to

1255
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 2: her with the information. It's like Stephanie. Stephanie obviously knows

1256
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 2: she shouldn't tell Siri this, but SII just looks at

1257
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 2: her and she's like, all right, Siri, I have a

1258
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 2: steal of vot advantage. And it's like, why are you

1259
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 2: doing that? But it's really just because you feel comfortable

1260
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 2: with her, and she's done that not only in Survivor,

1261
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 2: but in Big Brother, in Traders and Snake in the Grass.

1262
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 2: She's just got that personality that you gravitate towards two.

1263
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 3: So what was it like for you coming back from

1264
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 3: the Ozzie vote knowing you did something that Ree's probably

1265
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 3: not gonna like even though you've been aligned together.

1266
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say this, I actually felt very confident

1267
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: going into it that she wouldn't be upset with me

1268
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 2: because of what Ozzie did. You would think, like, you know,

1269
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 2: a five time player wouldn't just lay out the game

1270
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 2: plan to somebody going home. So she actually very much

1271
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 2: understood and we saw her reaction and confessional. She you know,

1272
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 2: was very upset at because granted, I wasn't going to

1273
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 2: the end with them, but Ozzie definitely expired his date

1274
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 2: a lot quicker when he told Aubrey that, oh, me

1275
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 2: and Suria and Rizzo have a final three. I'm going

1276
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 2: to the end with surri I'm working with them. Surih

1277
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 2: has an extra vote. It's like, dude, what are you doing?

1278
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 2: Like you know? So that Aubrey goes to Joe and

1279
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 2: Jonathan is like, did you know Rizzo has an alliance

1280
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 2: with Siria and Ozzie? So I obviously have to pivot

1281
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 2: because I can't, you know, burn Joe and Jonathan, who

1282
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 2: I knew at the time was my best shot at winning.

1283
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 2: So when I went to Syria SA three, I'm gonna

1284
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 2: be honest, Ozzie did too much. He told everybody about

1285
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 2: your extra vote, about our alliance, this, that, and the

1286
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 2: third and she understood. She's like, Rizzo, you did what

1287
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 2: you had to do, so that didn't give any love

1288
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 2: loss between us.

1289
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: A couple more questions here, Riz, I mean, we could

1290
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: go for hours, we.

1291
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 2: Do.

1292
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 3: I even want to ask how long he's had a

1293
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 3: Mickey Mouse impersonations.

1294
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: Like forever?

1295
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 4: I know, I know.

1296
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 2: It's so funny because The funny story behind that was

1297
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 2: in Survivor forty nine. Dude, I now I'm talking about this.

1298
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 2: I'm like cringing myself out, but it's so funny. Like

1299
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 2: every night before we sleep, we're like all talking in

1300
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 2: the shelter early parts of forty nine, So my dumbass

1301
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 2: is just like doing a Mickey Mouse impression in the dark,

1302
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 2: and like Nate and Savin and Shannon, my original Survivor

1303
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 2: forty nine is like, who the hell is doing this

1304
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 2: Mickey Mouse impression? So I'm just like, oh, holy till

1305
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 2: we die and They're like, dude, this kid is super weird,

1306
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 2: but I like, this kid is kind of funny. So

1307
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 2: I just thought, like, oh, if I do a Mickey

1308
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 2: Mouse impression, Everyone's gonna like me. So I'm in Survivor

1309
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 2: fifty doing it in the Talent Show and Gaybuddy loved

1310
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 2: it until they did it, so it was great. I

1311
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 2: loved it. I'm so glad it makes the show. It

1312
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 2: was so funny part of the lore. Thinking back on it,

1313
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 2: guys like to know how many funny moments I've had

1314
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 2: at twenty six, Like we could go on about like

1315
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,439
Speaker 2: all the weird shit I've done on Survivor, like even

1316
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 2: the first challenge ever where I cheat Alex on the

1317
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 2: puzzle and I'm like, I wish I could hug myself.

1318
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 2: But that's weird. Like I have a pretty a lot

1319
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 2: of iconic one liners that it's kind of crazy to

1320
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 2: think about.

1321
00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: So a couple more cues and again we'll have to

1322
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: do this again. We'll have you on no buffs in

1323
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: the summer. Anyway, this has been so much fun. If

1324
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: the show wasn't permanently filmed in Fiji, which country would

1325
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: you have loved to maybe have played Survivor? Where would

1326
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 1: you lie? I know where They're not going anywhere else anymore.

1327
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: It's stuck there, but like you know, dream scenario here,

1328
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 1: where would you want to go?

1329
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 2: So I'm going to pick two because one of them

1330
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 2: is like my So I'm obviously Albanian. I think Survivor

1331
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 2: Albania would be so so so sick. Albania is beautiful,

1332
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,919
Speaker 2: the water is great, there's beaches there. There really isn't

1333
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 2: like islands, but I think that would be really cool.

1334
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 2: But if I didn't pick that, obviously because of a

1335
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 2: Homer pick, I think what would be really cool would

1336
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 2: be like Survivor Greece. I think Greece, I like the seasons,

1337
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 2: like Survivor China, there's so much like history architecture that's

1338
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 2: really great. And I think Greece, with like the Pantheon

1339
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 2: and all these old architecture, would be really really cool.

1340
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 2: But obviously I don't know if it ever will leave Fiji.

1341
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 2: But I think like somewhere in like Eastern Europe the

1342
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 2: Balkans would be really cool because I don't think they've

1343
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 2: ever like super super Quick. I don't think they've ever

1344
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 2: done Survi Europe.

1345
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 1: So I don't think so. No, I think you're right.

1346
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: And again I don't think we're ever gonna see Survivor

1347
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Albania or Survivor Grease. But but there's a lot of

1348
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: buzz about Survivor Blood versus Water three, And you brought

1349
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,919
Speaker 1: up the Liz God. Has this something that you guys

1350
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: have discussed if it were to happen, would there is

1351
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: God and the Liz God? Your girlfriend maybe do this?

1352
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: Maybe try it?

1353
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Liz God has made it abundantly clear she

1354
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 2: will never play Survivor unless it's blood versus Water. I

1355
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 2: don't know. Obviously, we can all speculating every fans, every

1356
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 2: fan once Heroes versus Villain's two, Blood versus Water three.

1357
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 2: But if Jeff decides, you know what, we're bringing it

1358
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,919
Speaker 2: back and we want the gods to come on, We're

1359
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 2: definitely gonna be on there. Okaycott, I'll be saying our

1360
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 2: izg O D on one side of the beach. She'll

1361
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 2: be seeing l I zg O D on the other side.

1362
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 2: So there'll be a lot of micronyms and a lot

1363
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 2: of slogans.

1364
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: And before we let you go, Jesus, I nearly forgot

1365
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: about this. Can we talk about Jeff's live reunion blunder

1366
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: which happened at the end of Season fifth. For those

1367
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: that don't know, your loss in the fire Making Challenge

1368
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: on Survivor fifty was spoiled. It was legit spoiled during

1369
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: the live finale when Jeff Probes inadvertently called you on

1370
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 1: stage and talked to you and then basically was like, oh,

1371
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: well you lost. You're on the jury, and everybody's like,

1372
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: what the hell just happened? We haven't seen that yet

1373
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 1: in the show. I mean like that must have been surreal,

1374
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: Like you must have just been in a a haze

1375
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: or something.

1376
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll give you the true behind this scenes never

1377
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 2: before heard until No dunks. So and I don't blame

1378
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 2: Jeff at all because Jeff isn't watching the show Survivor

1379
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 2: isn't running a live show. I think it's like Paramount

1380
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 2: or somebody. So like, Jeff just comes on when he

1381
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 2: gets cued. Right. So, I'm in the green room backstage

1382
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,919
Speaker 2: waiting to be called and they're like, all right, Razio,

1383
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 2: and Jeff calls you. You're heading out there, and you know,

1384
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 2: I see me and Jonathan about to do fire go

1385
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 2: to commercial break, and you know, productions like Rizzo go

1386
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 2: out there. I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, Like I didn't

1387
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 2: see myself lose yet They're like, just or like, play

1388
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 2: it off. I'm like, I'm going to play it off

1389
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 2: in front of ten million of people watching it. Line. Okay,

1390
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 2: So I think if you catch it. Jeff is obviously

1391
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 2: asking me questions and whatnot, and I'm trying to be

1392
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 2: pretty ambiguous. I'm like, Jeff, I'm super proud, no matter

1393
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 2: win or lose, I'm proud of myself. And he's like,

1394
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 2: Rizzo have a seat on the jury, and I'm like,

1395
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 2: well that sucks. So in the moment, I was pissed

1396
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 2: to coin Liz Wilcox on Survivor forty six. I was

1397
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 2: so pissed because, dude, I just went a year without

1398
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 2: telling my well, my parents knew, and my girlfriend, but

1399
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 2: my family and friends back home that I had a shot,

1400
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 2: had a shot at winning Survivor fifty. Right, they didn't

1401
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 2: know I lost fire, And to know that it was

1402
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 2: all spoiled within like two seconds kind of sucked. But

1403
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 2: taking the step back, you know, after it all was

1404
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 2: set and done, it's a pretty iconic moment. I mean,

1405
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 2: like no shade to like obviously the finalists and everything,

1406
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 2: but that was the talk about thing of the finale, right,

1407
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 2: So like when people talk about the Survivor fifty finale,

1408
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 2: it's not going to be about Aubrey getting a car

1409
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 2: or you know, Jonathan doing the work with the Risk God.

1410
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 2: It was about Jeff's blunder with the Risk God. So

1411
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 2: I'm super grateful, and if I ever do have the

1412
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 2: luxury of coming back, I think it would be a

1413
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:15,439
Speaker 2: funny story with Jeff and I to be like Jeff,

1414
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 2: remember that one time he screwed me over man, So

1415
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 2: I think long term, it was very iconic moment that

1416
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 2: I'm very grateful to be a part of.

1417
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: Right, Like, what was Jeff doing there in the moment,

1418
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: Like he obviously realizes what just happened, but like during

1419
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: that next commercial break and everything, like is he freaking out?

1420
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 1: Is he like getting mad at somewhere or is he

1421
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: just like all right, well, we gotta deal with it.

1422
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 2: To be honest, I would have loved to see what

1423
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 2: happened because Jeff, I don't know if he stormed out,

1424
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 2: but he went somewhere else. I think he was obviously

1425
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 2: talking to the people that were important in CBS and

1426
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 2: the higher ups of what to do. But I'm sure

1427
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 2: he wasn't the happiest camper. But when Jeff grabbed me

1428
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 2: after the facts that risto, we're gonna bring you on

1429
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 2: the commercial break. Be funny, have like, have fun with it,

1430
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 2: do whatever. Yeah, I was like, you're giving me the

1431
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 2: main stage? Okay? Yet oh you know he and him

1432
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 2: cracked the joke. But I think Jeff was a professional

1433
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 2: about it. We made fun of it. Obviously, I'm a

1434
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 2: champion of survivor. I love Survivor. Jeff could do no

1435
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 2: wrong in my eyes, So we had fun with it.

1436
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 2: It was great and it was a great moment for

1437
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 2: Survivor fifty. Wait, wait a cap off a monumental season.

1438
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, before we let you go. Ryan and his wife

1439
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 1: big fans of No Dunks and no buffs. They rode

1440
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:25,479
Speaker 1: in and they're obviously fans of your two appearances. Ryan

1441
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 1: wrote this, Rizzo, We're returning to Portland October and my

1442
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 1: wife wants to get a puppy once we've settled back in.

1443
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: I've been hesitant, but could be swayed if Rizzo blesses

1444
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 1: us with naming the dog Rizzo, the pupp the mischief,

1445
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: the menace, riz do Og. So what do you think?

1446
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:45,880

1447
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:50,040

1448
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 2: I love that, and I think I'm going to make

1449
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 2: it even better here. I think the slogan is the

1450
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 2: name ariz Dog. Riz Dog.

1451
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 1: You name okay, so.

1452
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 2: It's great, Okay, but Riz Dog is even better. So

1453
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 2: my blessing is for the Riz Dog.

1454
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: Okay, perfect, perfect. We will leave it there again, A

1474
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:54,959
Speaker 2: bit with Survivor because Survivor's kind of takeed over my world.
