(01:26):
hard for a talk had tall.Ye, you have a hard time
to an ironman set it for years? Do you remember a Survivor Man.
Surpier Man was big for a minute. I don't know what you're talking about.
I know bear grills, like survivingin the woods. Is that a
thing? Yeah? Is that whatit is? Yeah? I think so,
okay, no, no, no, So, I don't know.
It's different than Bear Girls. SurvivorMan was a TV show and it was

(01:49):
similar to Bear Girls. Okay.Survivor Man was different than can you throw
Anyone to eat? Because I justgot just enough of that sour in my
mouth and it's the thing we're doingthis, huh. Survivor Man was um
was less stroud less stout, lessstrout. This is good less stroud,

(02:12):
less stout, less strout. Butit was also on like the Discovery Champ.
I've never heard of it. Wow. So it was like a bear
grylls like that's working. Let's doSurvivor Man too. I think. Let
me see, I think that SurvivorMan was first. Really. Survivor Man
started in April of two thousand andfive. Okay, bear grills, what's

(02:39):
this is a way to kick offon Monday? Sour Candy? And Survivor
Man versus Wild was two thousand andsix, two thousand and six, so
Survivor Man was first. Where areyou having? How about that? Take
that Less Stroud does it? Getwhat he deserves? Less Draw walked so

(03:00):
that bear Grylls could run. That'sexactly right. But surviver Man also lasted
longer to twenty sixteen. Cow,that's a long time. You don't know
anything. And in fact, uh, the Office did an episode called Survivor
Man where he does a survey manbit. Okay, the Survivor Man bit

(03:21):
was comes on the Office, No, no, no, no, say
I remember that bit? Yes?So the Survivor Man was Less Drowd going
into this place and it's only him. He has all of his own equipment,
He's doing everything himself, No one'swith him, and he has to
survive. How's that different from MembersWild? Members Wild had a crew,
so who's filming. He's filming himself. He would set up a tripod,

(03:44):
he'd walk out. So that's thewhole episode of the Office. He's doing
the Survivorman bit. So Survivorman wason TV for eleven years with just a
tripod filming himself. Yeah, man, Drivan is great. You say so,
I do say so. What's theday? Today? Is a very
exciting day known as National Scavenger HuntDay? Good gosh, you hate you

(04:08):
hate scavenger hunts? Um, Ilike competing and I think a scavenger hunt
can be good dude. When Iwas a kid, this was definitely not
something you did. Did you everdo a video scavenger hunt in the night,
like in the nineties, so likeright around two thousand, video scavenger
hunts at least in my neck ofthe woods were like a thing we did.

(04:29):
I've done picture scavenger hunts. Idon't think I ever did a video
scaven so they it was just long. It was usually for a youth group
lock in. They were trying tofind stuff to do. Just got a
full time two you had you hada no But this was before the two
am This was early in the eveningwhen things are still open, and you
gave like four chaperones or five chaperons. Each had like a band and there's
a list of things, and theyall had a full sized cam quarter and

(04:54):
you had to go around and recordyourself doing all the things and then get
back and it was like bonus pointsif you did certain stuff or if you
sang a certain song, and thenyou you get back and you'd all watch
all the videos and everybody loved it, like it was a huge thing.
Like now like that would be easyto pull off. But back in the
day, that was everything like thatwas that those were really really fun.

(05:16):
There was some you know like Nirvanafan who like took it a little too
far, like with his video madea little dark. Well ar, I
mean this is late nine spring,this is like Nirvana is not really there's
that kid still that kid though,Yeah, there's always that kid. There's
always that kid. What was itin the late nine well in the late
ninehies, Um Creed, I knowright, And I don't no nude today.

(05:47):
I don't know nude today. Idon't know nude today. On my
free paint, I'm going to huntyou. I are a big prize gonna
win this day you hit everything.I'll be the fastest. Rag talked me

(06:13):
into doing Ascalvenger Hunt last week atFitzies and it was not fun. You
will agree to disagree there brand explainthis scalvenger hunt. Ragg I gotta explain
this cavedrunt if you want. Youknow, buttons. Yes, so we
take buttons, we hide them inthe bottom of past blue ribbons cans.
We take the cans back shut,we hide them along the field line out

(06:39):
back at Fitzies. Fitzis has afield out back. You've been there,
I've been there. I know thefield. We know a lot of We
do a lot of fun things outthere, a lot of yes, fun
things. So the idea was youhad to take You had to take the
can, crack it open, drinkit, and then you had to spit

(06:59):
the button into your partner's mouth.They had to run and spit the button
into Fitzi's mouth and then go backout there. Yes, it is less
of a scavenger and more of arelay race. But you know what can
you do Fitzee No, no,no, that's not true, because we

(07:20):
let out live vultures in the backback there, and they are hunting you.
The scavengers are hunting you. That'sthe part that's the scavenger hunt.
You're trying to drink the paths andyou're the button spit the vultures are like,
let's do this thing, cowboy.They're not eating in a while.

(07:43):
We starve a bunch of vultures andwe cut them loose. There's a cage
in like Jurassic Park three, aMinted classic. They can't fly out.
They're just looking for food and you'rethe food. It's a scavenger hunt.
