0:41
Speaker 4: so let me let me just play this.
0:43
Speaker 5: Oh no, what's that?
0:45
Speaker 1: It's a really big way.
0:47
Speaker 4: There's a tsunami coming for the Making the Merge podcast.

1:07
Speaker 4: of forty seven finalist.
1:09

1:13
Speaker 1: Sue s May Whoao.
1:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, incredible, your name correctly too, It's pretty impressive.
1:23
Speaker 5: How do you people mispronounce it? What do they say
1:25
Speaker 5: for this?
1:26
Speaker 1: They call me? Smile me.
1:28
Speaker 5: They I don't even really.
1:30
Speaker 1: Smith, you know, like I don't even know. They just
1:32
Speaker 1: butcher it.
1:33
Speaker 5: Sue Smith is way less exciting than a name.
1:36
Speaker 1: They just think it's like spelled incorrectly. It's small, you know,
1:39
Speaker 1: I saw people's may we in front of it. You
1:43
Speaker 1: did a good job.
1:44
Speaker 3: Thank you.
1:44
Speaker 4: It was pretty easy for us, even though we're the
1:46
Speaker 4: dumb podcasts. You know, we all got your name right well.
1:50
Speaker 1: Because you probably did it incorrectly, but it's correct.
1:55
Speaker 2: It's like a double egging them. Yeah, it's aupposed to
1:57
Speaker 2: be pronounced smile. But he wouldn't listen to me.
2:02
Speaker 4: But soon I touched on your catchphrases in there, and
2:05
Speaker 4: it was one of our favorite discoveries during season forty seven,
2:09
Speaker 4: was your catchphrases.
2:10
Speaker 6: Obviously Tsunami.
2:11
Speaker 4: That one is pretty self explanatory, but we're dying to
2:15
Speaker 4: know how did mother Quake come about.
2:18
Speaker 3: I have to tell you all of these catchphrases were
2:22
Speaker 3: not from me. They were from other fans that once
2:26
Speaker 3: they posted it, and I'm just like, I'm running with it,
2:28
Speaker 3: and you know, people just started.
2:30
Speaker 1: Jumping on it, and you know, who am I to stop?
2:33
Speaker 1: So I just like went with it.
2:35
Speaker 3: And you know, it's so funny because I did an event,
2:38
Speaker 3: you know, this weekend, and you know, people were coming
2:41
Speaker 3: up saying, you know, Tsunami's in the house, and I'm like,
2:43
Speaker 3: oh my.
2:43
Speaker 1: God, like it's going on right and yeah, I love it.
2:47
Speaker 3: So, yeah, there were a lot of little things that
2:49
Speaker 3: were said that and you know people, you know, look,
2:52
Speaker 3: at least you didn't come up with mctitty ducklips, right,
2:55
Speaker 3: or are you going to come up with all the
2:57
Speaker 3: catchphrases that were out there, because there is a.
3:00
Speaker 6: Lot I didn't know about.
3:01
Speaker 7: That, about that, Yeah, one of the most we had
3:06
Speaker 7: no idea.
3:07
Speaker 5: This is the first I think any of us are hearing.
3:10
Speaker 5: Now we're embarrassed because that's how we do.
3:12
Speaker 3: That is that work I was in Like, you were smart,
3:14
Speaker 3: you would have caught onto that.
3:16
Speaker 5: That's right, That's right, that's right.
3:17
Speaker 6: Are you saying I should have put that on the
3:18
Speaker 6: intro chase?
3:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, we shouldlips.
3:25
Speaker 2: That also leads into one of the things that we
3:27
Speaker 2: loved the most about you on your season, which was
3:31
Speaker 2: a lot of the New Era Survivor players and even
3:33
Speaker 2: old ARA Survivor players, when.
3:34
Speaker 5: They face some of the.
3:37
Speaker 2: The jokes and the memes and stuff that happened online,
3:39
Speaker 2: they kind of go scorched earth or they just can't
3:41
Speaker 2: seem to handle it well and they go off the
3:43
Speaker 2: deep end.
3:44
Speaker 5: But you really embraced everything. Yeah, you know these nicknames.
3:49
Speaker 1: Here's the thing.
3:49
Speaker 3: You know, look what I do to my body in
3:52
Speaker 3: my face, I choose to do it.
3:54
Speaker 1: I pay to do it.
3:56
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna have a lot of haters, a lot
3:58
Speaker 3: of those pressy you know whatever.
4:01
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be saying. But like, I have a lot
4:03
Speaker 1: of people that hate.
4:04
Speaker 3: My looks, and they are just I mean, there were
4:07
Speaker 3: so many funny We used to sit and just laugh
4:09
Speaker 3: at the people making fun of my looks and how like,
4:11
Speaker 3: thank god we didn't have an underwater challenge because with
4:14
Speaker 3: my balloons on my chest, there's no way I was
4:17
Speaker 3: going to go underwater, you know, the survivor had if
4:21
Speaker 3: they hadn't too many more days, my face was gonna
4:24
Speaker 3: melt off. Oh got And I was just like, oh
4:27
Speaker 3: my god, some of these are really funny, Like I
4:29
Speaker 3: was laughing, so well.
4:30
Speaker 5: That's good. Well that also, I mean, that's terrible. It's awful.
4:35
Speaker 7: But I think it speaks highly to just like you
4:38
Speaker 7: having just thick skin about this, because not everybody can
4:41
Speaker 7: like go on such a massive show and then receive
4:46
Speaker 7: not only like great things said, but then like people
4:49
Speaker 7: just go it after you like crazy and be able
4:52
Speaker 7: to receive it in that way that you're like, hey, look,
4:54
Speaker 7: we're all just out here having fun, like it's a game,
4:57
Speaker 7: and whatever they say, whatever, let it roll off.
5:00
Speaker 2: Example, when when everyone was talking about on your season
5:03
Speaker 2: it seemed like you always had dirt on your face,
5:05
Speaker 2: and then you put out an Instagram reel.
5:09
Speaker 6: They can get suss may snatched cheeks.
5:13
Speaker 3: Did you see how many how many thousands, one hundred
5:17
Speaker 3: thousands people viewed that?
5:19
Speaker 1: Like that was insane.
5:20
Speaker 3: And I'm actually thinking of doing another one this year,
5:23
Speaker 3: you know, more of like a Christmas one. I just
5:25
Speaker 3: have not had any time to do it, but most
5:27
Speaker 3: likely I might going to do a little roll off
5:28
Speaker 3: of that because it's just so funny. And I have
5:31
Speaker 3: to tell you I was talking to a few people
5:33
Speaker 3: this weekend. I was at you know, like a good
5:35
Speaker 3: event with all of a lot of your reality stars,
5:38
Speaker 3: and somebody was saying that they felt that production may
5:43
Speaker 3: have added a little something to my face because when
5:47
Speaker 3: you know, Caroline and Rachel, I've had many conversations with
5:50
Speaker 3: them and they were all saying that my face never
5:53
Speaker 3: looked like that.
5:55
Speaker 1: Or that bad.
5:56
Speaker 3: So we're all wondering if maybe look, I'm the first
5:59
Speaker 3: to say I own it, if I was it was me,
6:03
Speaker 3: I was the one.
6:04
Speaker 1: But in the same breath there may be a little
6:06
Speaker 1: added something to you. I don't know for sure and
6:08
Speaker 1: will never know, but they were like we would have
6:11
Speaker 1: said something, you know.
6:12
Speaker 2: So I will make it my life's mission to hunt
6:16
Speaker 2: down Jeff Probes and find out if they have.
6:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, we gotta bribe somebody deep inside you know,
6:24
Speaker 3: the net and see, you know, see who you know,
6:26
Speaker 3: what really.
6:27
Speaker 5: Happened, Sue.
6:28
Speaker 7: I keep trying to tell Chase in PD that someone's
6:31
Speaker 7: adding like ten or twelve pounds to me when they
6:33
Speaker 7: look at me through this Jeff Jeff, and they just
6:37
Speaker 7: won't believe it. So I'm just saying it's very possible.
6:41
Speaker 1: Look, you just gotta go with that, you know what.
6:43
Speaker 3: The more you accelerate that thought process, we're all gonna.
6:47
Speaker 5: Believe this together.
6:49
Speaker 1: Suit, absolutely, you and I.
6:51
Speaker 4: That is really interesting though, that we just stumbled on
6:54
Speaker 4: a survivor conspiracy, like a conspiracy that they're doing color
6:58
Speaker 4: grading on Sue, and we're gonna hunt down production.
7:01
Speaker 6: You know, we know where they live.
7:03
Speaker 4: They live in Fiji for most for.
7:08
Speaker 1: They live on to Ku. They're not in Fiji itself.
7:13
Speaker 5: We're narrowing the perimeter.
7:16
Speaker 1: I can entrance to their door.
7:19
Speaker 4: Okay, we got an insider. But Sue, we saw somebody
7:24
Speaker 4: on your season. You know, he's been on our show
7:26
Speaker 4: twice and we call him stupid sexy Saul.
7:30
Speaker 6: And I was thinking, like.
7:31
Speaker 4: I've seen you doing fashion shows, I've seen you walk
7:34
Speaker 4: in the runway.
7:34
Speaker 6: Should we start calling you stupid sexy suit?
7:37
Speaker 1: I like that, s s s. I think I like that.
7:40
Speaker 1: I like that. Let something you gotta sort of add
7:43
Speaker 1: in the mctitty ducklips. I can't believe passion, guys, is
7:50
Speaker 1: nobody rolling with that.
7:52
Speaker 5: We we like to, you know, we we make fun.
7:54
Speaker 2: We we we play around with the survivor players as
7:58
Speaker 2: if their characters in a TV show. But I think
8:00
Speaker 2: I speak for everybody here where. We would never go
8:03
Speaker 2: that harsh and talk about people's bodies and stuff like that.
8:07
Speaker 1: I'm exulted. I want to be called mctitty duck clubs. Yes,
8:12
Speaker 1: isn't that funny?
8:15
Speaker 4: Now we have we could combine both and it's stupid
8:17
Speaker 4: sexy mctitty duck clubs.
8:23
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. That's what we gotta do.
8:25
Speaker 7: I gotta say, that's the wildest sentence out of pds man.
8:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're like ten minutes in and this is already
8:32
Speaker 4: the greatest podcast we've ever done. But tell me how
8:35
Speaker 4: you got into fashion? How did you start getting on
8:37
Speaker 4: these runways?
8:38
Speaker 3: So, so I met I met someone who owns smart swimsuits,
8:43
Speaker 3: and we fell in love with each other. She's a
8:46
Speaker 3: really wonderful person and she's got a good She's like
8:51
Speaker 3: the sustainable swimsuits, so they're biled they're healthy for our environment.
8:55
Speaker 1: There's a you know, to.
8:56
Speaker 3: To even make a swimsuit that can be labeled sustainable,
8:59
Speaker 3: you have to have over two hundred different things. That's
9:03
Speaker 3: a legal way of being able to say it to
9:06
Speaker 3: haven't even be acknowledged and allowed legally allowed to be saying,
9:10
Speaker 3: you know, saying that.
9:10
Speaker 1: And so she asked me if.
9:12
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind, you know, walking in her New York
9:15
Speaker 3: City Fashion Week, and I'm like, are you.
9:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can say whatever to me?
9:21
Speaker 3: Like of course, and I never you know, I'm five
9:24
Speaker 3: foot one, you know, in these these models.
9:26
Speaker 1: Their legs like end up at my forehead. It was insane.
9:30
Speaker 1: So you know, she really.
9:33
Speaker 3: Liked you know that, I love you know, her product,
9:35
Speaker 3: and you know, I'm not going to ever say no
9:37
Speaker 3: to walking on any type of runway. And then they
9:40
Speaker 3: also did the Michael Jackson Collection, which was an honor
9:43
Speaker 3: to Michael Jackson in Las Vegas, and that was my first.
9:46
Speaker 1: Runway, which was insane, Like it was.
9:49
Speaker 3: It was blew my mind, especially because it was collaborating
9:53
Speaker 3: with the whole Michael Jackson team and the Michael Jackson Collection.
9:56
Speaker 1: They had a huge, huge event in Vegas. So that's
9:58
Speaker 1: just it was just, you know, it's funny. You just
10:00
Speaker 1: run into people here and there and you start, you.
10:04
Speaker 3: Know, a relationship, and they're like, you know what, we
10:06
Speaker 3: like you and like you to be an investador for
10:08
Speaker 3: our company.
10:09
Speaker 1: And you know, that's what I've become.
10:11
Speaker 3: So I'm very honored and thrilled to be an investador
10:14
Speaker 3: for Smart Swimsuits.
10:15
Speaker 4: Wow, so you have technically technically you've worked with Michael Jackson.
10:20
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with that story.
10:23
Speaker 3: Absolutely, he was up there on the screen watching me
10:26
Speaker 3: walk the runway. Wow.
10:29
Speaker 6: That's incredible.
10:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's awesome.
10:31
Speaker 3: So we probably shouldn't say Smart Swimsuits because the word
10:33
Speaker 3: smart shouldn't be on this show.
10:35
Speaker 5: Correctly, that's dumb as from smart. Yeah, I didn't even
10:40
Speaker 5: understand that sentence. Once you said that word.
10:42
Speaker 1: Can you guys spell it?
10:44
Speaker 5: I don't like s m E y.
10:54
Speaker 1: It correctly too, because yourself is smart, Sue.
10:59
Speaker 6: I actually have a question from my dad.
11:02
Speaker 5: Oh this was big.
11:04
Speaker 6: This is from Scott Bachmann.
11:05
Speaker 4: He wants to know how hard was it to be
11:08
Speaker 4: on an island with a bunch of millennials and gen
11:10
Speaker 4: Z people.
11:11
Speaker 1: I blow my brains out? Fucking ever? Did I imagine?
11:17
Speaker 5: That's what Scott would say as well?
11:21
Speaker 3: Tell him Pitture going into your bedroom while you've got
11:26
Speaker 3: ten of.
11:26
Speaker 1: Your closest friends there, You're all having.
11:28
Speaker 3: Fun talking about your gaming shows, everything you're doing, and
11:31
Speaker 3: he's sitting in the corner in a chair staring at you.
11:37
Speaker 5: That's how hed your experience on the show? Would you
11:41
Speaker 5: say it was a positive experience.
11:42
Speaker 2: Or would you say that you've enjoyed the aftermath a
11:45
Speaker 2: lot more than actually being on the show.
11:46
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's all about the journey.
11:48
Speaker 3: The experience was mind blowing, and you know, for me,
11:52
Speaker 3: it was more of a.
11:53
Speaker 1: Personal challenge to see.
11:55
Speaker 3: You know this, I've been My dad wanted to do
11:58
Speaker 3: Survivor when we were younger. You know, my everything was
12:01
Speaker 3: just my whole family was survivor, survivor, survivor, and you know, finally,
12:04
Speaker 3: when I started getting older, my daughter's like, you know,
12:06
Speaker 3: a mom, you always wanted to do this one to
12:08
Speaker 3: just try. And I did the application, sent it in,
12:11
Speaker 3: and I kept thinking like maybe off camera, I'm going
12:17
Speaker 3: to go brush my teeth and maybe you know, they're
12:19
Speaker 3: not going to sell tell the world that you know,
12:21
Speaker 3: off camera you can go brush your hair. And this
12:23
Speaker 3: was the real deal, rude wakening of like Bam, you're
12:27
Speaker 3: just stuck here suffering, you know.
12:30
Speaker 1: And I think I feel like if.
12:32
Speaker 3: I had gotten a little more food, I would have
12:34
Speaker 3: been much stronger. It took me about two months physically
12:37
Speaker 3: to recover from this wow, and I never expected to
12:43
Speaker 3: happen what happened afterwards, Like I really didn't even think
12:47
Speaker 3: I was going to make too much of the edit
12:49
Speaker 3: other than you know, the pink you know, or the
12:51
Speaker 3: red paint, you know, when I found the idol the
12:54
Speaker 3: challenge that I wanted, and then you'll make it to
12:56
Speaker 3: the finale. I honestly didn't think they heard me say
13:00
Speaker 3: I hate Kyle as much as.
13:01
Speaker 5: I did Kyle. Where were they? Yeah, how'd they get?
13:07
Speaker 1: I didn't see them?
13:08
Speaker 3: And all of a sudden, they have like twenty five
13:09
Speaker 3: photos and they wanted to chuck Kyle's head off.
13:13
Speaker 2: It did seem like you hated Kyle, but I would
13:16
Speaker 2: imagine you don't actually hate Kyle.
13:19
Speaker 1: I do not hate Kyle at the time, I hated
13:21
Speaker 1: fucking Kyle. And also I'd wanted to put it for
13:28
Speaker 1: the records. I don't hate orphans, and I don't I
13:35
Speaker 1: love orans.
13:36
Speaker 4: Love That is so funny, because Sue, I was, I
13:39
Speaker 4: literally I had I'm gonna ask it anyway since you
13:41
Speaker 4: brought it up, and then you can just correct the
13:43
Speaker 4: record again. But I had a question here, which was
13:46
Speaker 4: that you know, me and Chase don't agree with this statement.
13:49
Speaker 4: But Jonathan made a pretty crazy club about you on
13:52
Speaker 4: your season.
13:53
Speaker 5: I don't even remember the zu don't hold it again.
13:55
Speaker 6: I wanted to bring it up so you can officially
13:57
Speaker 6: correct the record.
13:58
Speaker 4: He said, because you didn't like Kyle, you didn't like
14:00
Speaker 4: any orphans, and he went as far as to compare
14:03
Speaker 4: you to count O off from a series of unfortunate
14:06
Speaker 4: events because he was terrorizing the orphans.
14:08
Speaker 6: So what do you have to say in response to Jonathan.
14:11
Speaker 5: And Jonathan.
14:14
Speaker 7: Spirits, I love it so I love you, I do,
14:17
Speaker 7: and look you understand, and now that I know you
14:20
Speaker 7: can take such a joke, I'm so glad that I
14:23
Speaker 7: use counter.
14:24
Speaker 1: I started liking orphans. Is that good?
14:26
Speaker 5: I'll take it. Yeah, I'll take it. Yeah.
14:30
Speaker 7: In fact, I would say I'm even proud of you
14:31
Speaker 7: if I understood that whole sentence.
14:35
Speaker 6: I started. When did you start after Kyle?
14:38
Speaker 1: Right after you said that sentence?
14:45
Speaker 5: You know what, I might give it a shot to
14:46
Speaker 5: the well that.
14:49
Speaker 1: I feel good.
14:51
Speaker 7: This is what happens, guys, because y'all are trying to
14:55
Speaker 7: throw me under the bus, and yeah, so to hate me,
14:58
Speaker 7: and all I doing is making our alliance grows stronger.
15:02
Speaker 1: And I feel like you've lost about five pounds already.
15:08
Speaker 5: This is this is unbelievable. And you know what, You're right,
15:11
Speaker 5: You're right. I'll take it. I'll take it.
15:13
Speaker 1: We're bonding here.
15:15
Speaker 5: Well, I love it. I love it.
15:17
Speaker 4: When the other night, when I found out that you
15:19
Speaker 4: were going to be on our show, I was so excited.
15:21
Speaker 4: I was like, you know what, I'm gonna dig up
15:23
Speaker 4: what Jonathan said like a year ago, and I'm gonna
15:26
Speaker 4: throw him under the bus to sue and I don't.
15:29
Speaker 1: Know you know, look, I'm all for this.
15:33
Speaker 3: This, This to me is so fun and I love
15:36
Speaker 3: the creativeness of everyone and the crate like MC titty
15:39
Speaker 3: ducklubs like all money, Like how were you we not
15:44
Speaker 3: laughing about any of this?
15:46
Speaker 1: It's all great. It's the funnier the better this is.
15:49
Speaker 5: This is great.
15:50
Speaker 2: I think that puts you in the in the Survivor
15:52
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame for me, because so many and I
15:54
Speaker 2: said this earlier, but really, so many players when they
15:57
Speaker 2: start getting even just jokes made at them online, they
16:01
Speaker 2: immediately crash out.
16:02
Speaker 5: They don't want anything.
16:03
Speaker 3: To do with it.
16:04
Speaker 5: And you've been such a good sport.
16:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you're You're way funnier than anything that
16:09
Speaker 2: anyone has to say.
16:10
Speaker 3: Nice. I like that. Well that's too short, you know
16:13
Speaker 3: what we're I feel blessed to be given this opportunity
16:18
Speaker 3: that I did, And like I said, I didn't expect
16:20
Speaker 3: any of the social media or anything to come up
16:23
Speaker 3: as much as it did completely, And like, I'm all
16:26
Speaker 3: about having everybody own who they are.
16:30
Speaker 1: And you know, you could be sitting on the couch
16:31
Speaker 1: and be.
16:32
Speaker 3: Like, what, she's the biggest slob, fucking ugly whatever, dirty lady, whatever.
16:39
Speaker 1: Out there, and I'm like, I'd probably be saying the
16:42
Speaker 1: same damn thing, like gross, you know, like whatever and
16:46
Speaker 1: own it.
16:48
Speaker 2: So when you're watching the new season, because I think
16:51
Speaker 2: you said you keep up with the seasons after yours,
16:54
Speaker 2: are you do you go hard in the paint on
16:56
Speaker 2: the new players?
16:58
Speaker 1: No, you know what once you for me, once.
17:01
Speaker 3: You experience this, you know, like what I find is
17:04
Speaker 3: the people that are like emotional and missing home or
17:07
Speaker 3: you know, you.
17:08
Speaker 1: Have these strong people and all of a sudden they're
17:09
Speaker 1: breaking down. Like I was there.
17:12
Speaker 3: I was there, and you no one at home will
17:15
Speaker 3: ever ever ever understand those emotions are raw and real.
17:20
Speaker 3: And even you know on my season, you know, they
17:22
Speaker 3: didn't er, thank god, you know, but I had a
17:25
Speaker 3: moment there. It was a night that I believe Kyle
17:27
Speaker 3: and Genevieve they were talking and I felt it was
17:30
Speaker 3: about me and getting me out and by that time
17:33
Speaker 3: I was so broken and tired and just deflated.
17:37
Speaker 1: That I just was a mess.
17:40
Speaker 3: And you know, that was a challenge that you know, Jeff,
17:42
Speaker 3: we were at the you know, going for a challenge,
17:45
Speaker 3: and Jeff had made a comment and asked me a question,
17:48
Speaker 3: and I could feel that that morning, I'd been crying
17:50
Speaker 3: only to Rachel. She was the only one that knew,
17:52
Speaker 3: and Jeff had said something to me, and with that,
17:56
Speaker 3: you know, Rachel like just rubbed my back off camera
17:59
Speaker 3: like nobody.
17:59
Speaker 1: Can see, and that just made the tears come down
18:03
Speaker 1: my face.
18:03
Speaker 3: And then Jeff's like, Sue, are you that you have
18:06
Speaker 3: sand in your eye? And I'm just like yeah, and
18:08
Speaker 3: then he's like, no, seriously, are you okay?
18:10
Speaker 1: And that's when like, I just lost it.
18:12
Speaker 3: But these emotional I think what gets me the most
18:15
Speaker 3: is the emotional things that happened that come out on
18:19
Speaker 3: people that you're not expecting, even like this less.
18:21
Speaker 1: You know, with Savannah, she's she's a.
18:25
Speaker 3: Tough motherfucker, right, Like she's tough and for her to cry,
18:29
Speaker 3: and some people were making comments about it, and I
18:31
Speaker 3: remember saying, that's true and that's raw, and that's real.
18:34
Speaker 3: That's not doing anything other than you're so broken and
18:38
Speaker 3: you're just trying to hold it together. I and I
18:41
Speaker 3: just feel like I can't judge anybody anymore on how
18:44
Speaker 3: they play their games, because being there, you just become
18:48
Speaker 3: a different person, and at times you're just struggling to
18:50
Speaker 3: stay afloat at least that's how it was for me.
18:53
Speaker 1: So you know, it's just I'm not hard on these
18:56
Speaker 1: people at all, you know, I have my yea.
18:58
Speaker 5: Just not well, not think too like people.
19:01
Speaker 7: You know, they're watching it on TV, and it's always
19:04
Speaker 7: a good reminder that's like, hey, none of y'all are actors,
19:07
Speaker 7: Like y'all can't just cry on command, you know. And
19:10
Speaker 7: so it's it's like when you see these moments like
19:12
Speaker 7: with Savannah where she's crying like really hard and clearly
19:17
Speaker 7: under like a lot of stress and sadness, like like
19:21
Speaker 7: she's not just all of a sudden able to do that,
19:23
Speaker 7: Like something has built up to this point. And it's like,
19:26
Speaker 7: y'all are out there for so many days and then
19:29
Speaker 7: we get these episodes that are like an hour, and
19:32
Speaker 7: that hour is just clips and pieces of like two
19:35
Speaker 7: or three days. You know, it's so much that's not seen.
19:37
Speaker 6: And you don't have a phone.
19:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't have a phone or anything, like you're
19:42
Speaker 4: totally disconnected.
19:44
Speaker 1: God forbid, you don't have the phone.
19:48
Speaker 6: Yeah, it does affect you to constantly have that kind
19:51
Speaker 6: of stuff.
19:51
Speaker 4: And then you're dropped on an island around people who
19:53
Speaker 4: are constantly trying to get you eliminated from getting a
19:56
Speaker 4: million dollars every single day.
19:58
Speaker 6: It's a lot, it is.
20:00
Speaker 1: That's a lot.
20:00
Speaker 3: And the one thing that I do have to say
20:02
Speaker 3: is I do what I found interesting with so far
20:05
Speaker 3: in this in all of the episodes I've watched since,
20:09
Speaker 3: is that it does bring out past trauma and this.
20:13
Speaker 1: Is what you're actually crying.
20:15
Speaker 3: Like Savannah was upset for what happened, but she went
20:18
Speaker 3: back to saying, it reminds me it's the same feeling
20:21
Speaker 3: that when this happened, and so many people they bring
20:24
Speaker 3: this up, and that's what happened to me too. It
20:26
Speaker 3: brought back trauma from my freaking childhood and you know
20:29
Speaker 3: that was like a long time ago.
20:31
Speaker 5: It was only years ago, Sue.
20:35
Speaker 1: I love you, Jase so. But that's what it does,
20:41
Speaker 1: is it opens up these old wounds that.
20:44
Speaker 3: You've healed from, or think you've healed from, or worked
20:47
Speaker 3: on healing from.
20:48
Speaker 1: That's how much this game gets you to your core.
20:53
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like it's it's just a difference.
20:56
Speaker 1: It's it's something that you can't explain to people.
20:58
Speaker 3: Even if I don't like someone and I see them
21:00
Speaker 3: crying and talking about you know, something that happened.
21:03
Speaker 1: They've got my heart for ten minutes, and then you know,
21:05
Speaker 1: I don't like them again.
21:06
Speaker 5: And then it's back, you know, right back, ye yeah,
21:09
Speaker 5: you know, yeah, that's what you're saying.
21:11
Speaker 2: The respect for everybody that goes on national television. It
21:15
Speaker 2: plays this game, but it's still fun to pick on
21:18
Speaker 2: them and stuff. So I understand why some people do.
21:20
Speaker 2: But trying to please survivor fans is probably the hardest
21:23
Speaker 2: thing in the world.
21:24
Speaker 5: They hate everything.
21:26
Speaker 3: They're just looking for something bad to say. They're not
21:30
Speaker 3: even looking for good things anymore. And but you know,
21:33
Speaker 3: that's just the way this world is shaped into, you know,
21:35
Speaker 3: like people are more looking. It's almost like so many
21:39
Speaker 3: people are so miserable in their own lives in my opinion,
21:42
Speaker 3: that you know, like they're looking first to hurt people,
21:45
Speaker 3: hurt people, you know, and so like they want to
21:47
Speaker 3: you know, but if you think you're gonna get off
21:49
Speaker 3: your couch and type something to my DM is telling
21:52
Speaker 3: me that I'm the most disgusting person and that you
21:55
Speaker 3: can't even on your.
21:57
Speaker 1: Daily basis because of how disgusting I am. That's you're
22:02
Speaker 1: the one that's upset. I'm not upset.
22:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm ready to fight some people for you. At
22:06
Speaker 5: this point, the boys are about to go and have
22:10
Speaker 5: a smash.
22:11
Speaker 6: We're going to war for Sue.
22:12
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you guys. I want to tell you something.
22:16
Speaker 1: So I have that a woman who wrote me a
22:18
Speaker 1: real nasty that was her DM to.
22:21
Speaker 5: Me, just she can't even time and place, time and place,
22:23
Speaker 5: Sue tell us.
22:24
Speaker 3: But you know what, I I literally never read and
22:26
Speaker 3: normally all these people I blocked them because I'm like, God,
22:28
Speaker 3: fuck them, you know.
22:29
Speaker 1: And then after a while I was just like, I
22:32
Speaker 1: never like did anything with her.
22:34
Speaker 3: And about two months later I wrote back to her
22:37
Speaker 3: and I said, I hope that you're starting to be
22:38
Speaker 3: able to function, and she wrote something like, oh my god,
22:42
Speaker 3: I am so sorry.
22:44
Speaker 1: I don't know what was so wrong with me. I
22:46
Speaker 1: apologize and blah blah blah blah blah.
22:48
Speaker 3: And but so it's just amazing, like the craze that
22:52
Speaker 3: gets in people's brains at that moment that they have
22:55
Speaker 3: to open up their phone, pull somebody up on social
22:58
Speaker 3: media and write whatever it is is on the top.
23:00
Speaker 1: Of their head.
23:01
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah.
23:03
Speaker 4: It's like they don't view you as a human, They
23:06
Speaker 4: just see you purely as this character on TV and
23:09
Speaker 4: they send something like that thinking like that they'll never
23:12
Speaker 4: see it, they're not real, and then when they get
23:14
Speaker 4: called on it then they feel super embarrassed about it.
23:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, she just didn't even and she wasn't feeling I
23:20
Speaker 3: just she was able to function. I'm just glad you
23:22
Speaker 3: can function because you.
23:24
Speaker 1: Know, like, oh my god.
23:28
Speaker 6: And I guarantee you she's not getting hit up by
23:30
Speaker 6: Michael Jackson.
23:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got that right. You got that right. She
23:35
Speaker 1: didn't walk in New York City's Fashion Week, did she?
23:37
Speaker 5: No, that's right.
23:38
Speaker 2: From now on, whenever I'm having a bad day, I'm
23:42
Speaker 2: blaming it on Christina.
23:43
Speaker 5: From this season, it's Christina's fault.
23:46
Speaker 1: It's all Christina's fault.
23:49
Speaker 5: Christina.
23:50
Speaker 4: On a more positive note, Sue, you are a survivor
23:53
Speaker 4: record holder. Yeah, you're the oldest woman to win an
23:57
Speaker 4: immunity challenge. You went one on one with Rachel and
24:00
Speaker 4: beat her ass.
24:03
Speaker 1: Yes, and I want to I'm going to put it
24:05
Speaker 1: out there right now. That was so simple for me.
24:08
Speaker 1: I don't know why ringing. Do you want me to
24:11
Speaker 1: wait till that get.
24:12
Speaker 5: Them on the podcast?
24:13
Speaker 3: You know?
24:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, who is going to answer it?
24:16
Speaker 1: If you want to do a podcast, motherfucker, it will
24:21
Speaker 1: stop bringing in a second. Is it bothering this?
24:27
Speaker 5: It only adds to it, you know.
24:29
Speaker 1: Nice, Yeah, this is my life. It's probably one of
24:33
Speaker 1: my planes crashed.
24:34
Speaker 3: Did I.
24:37
Speaker 5: Killer?
24:38
Speaker 6: This government shutdown? Is crazy?
24:40
Speaker 1: Yeah?
24:45
Speaker 3: No. So I think because I'm a big racket sport
24:48
Speaker 3: player that that that challenge was very simple for me.
24:52
Speaker 3: And I had seen even seen that Kyle, Saul, Andy,
24:57
Speaker 3: they were all struggling with the bucket.
24:59
Speaker 1: They're pulling a back up, struggling the bucket.
25:01
Speaker 3: Like I didn't budge and in my when he told
25:03
Speaker 3: me I won, he had to tell me twice that
25:06
Speaker 3: you know I won because I was thinking, do I
25:09
Speaker 3: stay and beat.
25:11
Speaker 1: Out the guys anyways? Like oh my thought process, and
25:15
Speaker 1: then I decided I don't. At the time, I thought
25:16
Speaker 1: I was.
25:17
Speaker 3: Going to be strong enough, you know, to go through
25:19
Speaker 3: the whole season to you know, and I didn't want
25:22
Speaker 3: to become the threat.
25:23
Speaker 1: So obviously my ego was stupid to.
25:25
Speaker 3: Be like just let the you know, the bucket drop
25:29
Speaker 3: because I don't want to be viewed as a threat.
25:31
Speaker 3: So but that was an easy one for me, and
25:33
Speaker 3: I think I could have easily beat Kyle and Andy
25:37
Speaker 3: as well.
25:38
Speaker 5: I believe THET strategy move.
25:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would have been cool and I don't know
25:43
Speaker 3: what would have happened, but I wish I didn't drop
25:46
Speaker 3: it at this point and try to battle out the guys.
25:49
Speaker 7: Well, you know, and again though in the moment, you're
25:51
Speaker 7: just you're basing it off the information that you have
25:54
Speaker 7: of like what do I think is going to take
25:56
Speaker 7: me the furthest and make me not a target it?
26:00
Speaker 7: And so I mean, personally, I think that's like a
26:02
Speaker 7: pretty solid move that. I mean, you made it to
26:06
Speaker 7: the finale. Who to say that you would have made
26:08
Speaker 7: it the finale if you would have showed everybody.
26:12
Speaker 1: Well, I never.
26:13
Speaker 3: Followed through with it anyways, by the end, I never
26:15
Speaker 3: want any more challenges, I guess no. But yeah, so
26:20
Speaker 3: at least that way, you know what I did, because
26:23
Speaker 3: Jeff kept saying, soon you're good.
26:25
Speaker 1: He's like, you know, I'm like, okay, I let it go.
26:28
Speaker 6: But you were just in a trance.
26:30
Speaker 3: I was.
26:31
Speaker 1: I was so in a trance. I was not even
26:32
Speaker 1: here on this earth.
26:33
Speaker 3: I was.
26:34
Speaker 1: I was still with a lady that thinks I'm uggily
26:36
Speaker 1: on her couch.
26:38
Speaker 4: But when when you were going into you know that
26:40
Speaker 4: you're going to go and survivor what kind of physical
26:43
Speaker 4: preparation went into that in the months leading up to it.
26:46
Speaker 3: So the thing that I was most worried about was
26:52
Speaker 3: because I'm older, I was more worried about my joints.
26:55
Speaker 3: I was worried about like sliding down something and jamming
26:58
Speaker 3: my knee, or jamming my ankle or jamming my hit something,
27:01
Speaker 3: because you know, like I feel like I was always
27:03
Speaker 3: physically fit, but I was more I reached out to
27:07
Speaker 3: a friend who's a Navy seal and asked him if
27:09
Speaker 3: he could help me train more to strengthen my whatever
27:12
Speaker 3: muscles would help my joints. So he started having me
27:15
Speaker 3: run a couple miles with a weighted vest, fourteen pound
27:19
Speaker 3: weighted vest.
27:20
Speaker 1: And that's what I was doing, so that my training was.
27:23
Speaker 3: More of just strengthening the joints, because that was my
27:28
Speaker 3: my fear was an injury, and I did not want
27:31
Speaker 3: to be taken out by an injury.
27:32
Speaker 1: You know, I did my normal stuff.
27:34
Speaker 3: I you know, O, you know, I feel like I'm
27:36
Speaker 3: strong to be was strong to begin with, and I
27:39
Speaker 3: obviously worked out and did what I could. Mentally, I
27:42
Speaker 3: didn't really think too much I'm just like, just go
27:44
Speaker 3: in and have a fucking good time, and whatever happens happens.
27:47
Speaker 3: I honestly, my biggest fear was being the first one
27:50
Speaker 3: voted out. And that was all I wanted to do,
27:53
Speaker 3: is not be the first one voted out.
27:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, hey, mission hey, I mean yeah, yeah, it's a
27:58
Speaker 7: kind of destroyed got voted out.
28:02
Speaker 6: And so when you opened a coconut, did you hope
28:05
Speaker 6: that everyone cheered for you?
28:09
Speaker 5: A very andy question. Yeah, but you were you.
28:14
Speaker 6: Were there for that that rant from Andy? Right, were
28:17
Speaker 6: you in the area.
28:20
Speaker 1: With Andy? Which rant was Andy?
28:23
Speaker 6: Which it was when he was said, no, you're fine.
28:26
Speaker 6: It was when you might not have been there for that.
28:29
Speaker 4: It was when he was talking about how everyone would
28:33
Speaker 4: cheer for John Lovett when he opened the coconut, but nobody.
28:35
Speaker 6: Cheered for him.
28:36
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, so yeah so And but a lot of
28:39
Speaker 3: that was he went into this knowing the type of
28:41
Speaker 3: game he wanted to play, the type of person he
28:43
Speaker 3: wanted to be, and that was all sort of planned
28:48
Speaker 3: in a way.
28:48
Speaker 5: Wow, that's very smart.
28:51
Speaker 1: He's very smart.
28:51
Speaker 3: He went in't there knowing what he wanted to do,
28:54
Speaker 3: and even when he collapsed in the very beginning, He's like, well,
28:57
Speaker 3: you know, I was just tired.
28:58
Speaker 1: I figured I'd just go with it and see where
29:00
Speaker 1: it took me.
29:01
Speaker 5: Wow, what a mood. Yeah, he's a crazy, smart guy,
29:05
Speaker 5: smart guy unlike us.
29:06
Speaker 1: You know. It's just yeah, that's why rather hang with
29:12
Speaker 1: you guys. He drove and he drove me crazy.
29:15
Speaker 6: He was one of the minials.
29:17
Speaker 1: So when yeah, exactly for example, and I used to
29:20
Speaker 1: say it to him all the time.
29:21
Speaker 3: You know, the fire, I like lived next to the
29:23
Speaker 3: fire because I was always cold, So the fire was here,
29:26
Speaker 3: and I slept next to the fire, and then Andy
29:29
Speaker 3: slept next to me, and then saw stop next to Andy.
29:32
Speaker 1: In the morning. When Andy would.
29:34
Speaker 3: Get up, now remind, you know, remind you were like
29:37
Speaker 3: laying in dirt and god knows what's on the earth.
29:40
Speaker 1: He would get up and step over my head. So
29:43
Speaker 1: everything that was inside shorts and on his body immediately
29:48
Speaker 1: fell on my every day, every day. That was Andy.
29:52
Speaker 5: I bet he was on purpose. It sounds like Andy
29:55
Speaker 5: was the reason that your face was dirty. You know what,
29:59
Speaker 5: that's a.
29:59
Speaker 1: New theory, conspiracy theory. It's Andy's fault.
30:03
Speaker 5: I agree. We're going to find Jeff.
30:04
Speaker 2: We're going to find Andy, and we're going to get
30:06
Speaker 2: to the bottom of fine production and Jeff, those are
30:09
Speaker 2: the three goals we've got.
30:11
Speaker 1: So that's a good idea.
30:14
Speaker 6: Absolutely.
30:16
Speaker 4: So season forty seven, I think it's one of the
30:19
Speaker 4: great Survivor seasons.
30:21
Speaker 6: I mean, I would say it's definitely. I'd say it's
30:24
Speaker 6: the best of the New Era. Yeah, for sure.
30:26
Speaker 3: Well, you know, we had such a great group of
30:29
Speaker 3: you know, like between Teenie and her drinking Andy and
30:32
Speaker 3: everything about Andy, you know, and then his like hair,
30:34
Speaker 3: and then me and the paint and you know, like
30:37
Speaker 3: dirty face. You know, we just had some funny people
30:40
Speaker 3: that they were actually able to really put out there
30:43
Speaker 3: in the edits. And I found a lot of people
30:46
Speaker 3: just really seem to be holding on for the next
30:50
Speaker 3: episode to come because they couldn't Oh.
30:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, but could you feel that when you were out
30:53
Speaker 4: there that like, did you have the understanding that like, oh,
30:56
Speaker 4: this is a crazy group of personalities and I think
30:59
Speaker 4: this is going to be a really entertaining season.
31:01
Speaker 1: Not at all they as crazy.
31:06
Speaker 3: They were talking about games and like they're like we
31:09
Speaker 3: played games that Like I had no idea what any
31:12
Speaker 3: of them were saying.
31:13
Speaker 1: Momo or Mojo or Pope all these things.
31:17
Speaker 3: Again, I was fifty nine, right, like they're these they're
31:20
Speaker 3: talking about this stuff that's.
31:22
Speaker 1: Going on, and everybody knew about it, but me and
31:24
Speaker 1: I just had a I didn't want to sit far
31:26
Speaker 1: away and be on the outside.
31:27
Speaker 3: So I sat there going huh, you know, like was
31:30
Speaker 3: going along with the flow because I didn't want to
31:32
Speaker 3: be perceived as, you know, the bitter old lady that's
31:34
Speaker 3: sitting on the outside. But I I didn't realize how
31:39
Speaker 3: like crazy and intelligent they all were.
31:43
Speaker 1: And the other thing I did realize is that they
31:45
Speaker 1: were all very good. When they were there to speak
31:49
Speaker 1: like a tribal council, they would blow my mind, you know.
31:52
Speaker 3: Jeff would ask them a question, and the words and
31:55
Speaker 3: the thought processes and everything, the way they spoke was
31:58
Speaker 3: just so beautiful, every single one of them. And I
32:01
Speaker 3: remember being like hiding, like praying for you to ask
32:05
Speaker 3: me a question because one I could barely understand what
32:08
Speaker 3: he was asking because my brain was so fried and
32:11
Speaker 3: too like I don't have I'm like the group of
32:14
Speaker 3: you guys, I don't know how to speak properly in public.
32:17
Speaker 7: If the four of us were in a tribal and
32:18
Speaker 7: Jeff asked that's the question. They wouldn't even air it.
32:21
Speaker 7: They canceled the season and the.
32:23
Speaker 5: Like, we gotta, we gotta recast this season four.
32:27
Speaker 1: You know, you just gotta Yeah, you just gotta make
32:30
Speaker 1: funny faces.
32:31
Speaker 5: And be like, yeah, to come up with a good metaphor,
32:36
Speaker 5: that's all it is.
32:38
Speaker 2: Jeff would be like, PD, how is Survivor going for you?
32:42
Speaker 2: And all PD's got to do is be like Survivors,
32:44
Speaker 2: like gatorade. It's better than water because you can drink
32:47
Speaker 2: it get hydrated, and it's got great flavor.
32:49
Speaker 5: And everybody's like that is so well done. Wow, wow, Wow, Chase,
32:53
Speaker 5: you're so smart, you know wow.
32:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I would just say titty ducklips and that's
32:58
Speaker 7: all I and you know what, they would put it
33:01
Speaker 7: on the air so they it would make it.
33:04
Speaker 5: I mean, I know my dumb self. They'd be like,
33:08
Speaker 5: knowing my stupid self.
33:09
Speaker 7: I'd be like Survivors a lot like a reality show,
33:12
Speaker 7: and then I would end up stuck and I.
33:14
Speaker 6: Wouldn't know where to go for It's a lot like
33:16
Speaker 6: Love Island.
33:17
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, except we all smell and she's really dirty.
33:24
Speaker 5: Oh man.
33:25
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of big personalities on your season.
33:28
Speaker 4: But I think we've established that you were the physical
33:30
Speaker 4: threat out of everybody on your season. And this might
33:33
Speaker 4: be a weirder question, but do you think you could
33:36
Speaker 4: beat everybody, maybe except Saul in a boxing match like
33:40
Speaker 4: on your season if there was a boxing immunity challenge,
33:45
Speaker 4: I would.
33:45
Speaker 1: Fucking go ballistic and I would expect myself to take Saul.
33:49
Speaker 6: Out to Okay, I'm not, but I want to see.
33:56
Speaker 1: This is for a million dollars, I'm going basshit crazy.
34:00
Speaker 5: See what you didn't know this was? This was a
34:02
Speaker 5: soft pitch for making the Merged fight night. We're permitting,
34:06
Speaker 5: no gonna We're.
34:08
Speaker 2: Gonna get a bunch of survivor lums and we're gonna
34:10
Speaker 2: do celebrity boxing because it's the big thing right now.
34:14
Speaker 6: And the main event is Rome versus Sue.
34:18
Speaker 1: Wow, I don't know. Rome can probably spring around me
34:21
Speaker 1: like I don't even know how I.
34:25
Speaker 5: Here's here's the twist. He has to get through a
34:27
Speaker 5: puzzle to get to you, though, because he's not going
34:32
Speaker 5: to even get anywhere.
34:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's done.
34:36
Speaker 5: I got that, man, Poor room, poor room. I got
34:42
Speaker 5: a question for you.
34:43
Speaker 7: I want to know about the flight school because this
34:46
Speaker 7: is fascinating to me. And this I don't mean to brag,
34:50
Speaker 7: but I'm an f A, a certified drone pilot. I
34:53
Speaker 7: know it's pretty much the same as a pilot.
34:56
Speaker 1: Yeah you took that for the It's the same test
34:58
Speaker 1: as the private pilot, right the.
34:59
Speaker 7: Pop Well, this is what I didn't know when I
35:02
Speaker 7: started studying, and then I thankfully passed first try. But
35:06
Speaker 7: I learned so much about airports, and now I'm sitting
35:08
Speaker 7: here with somebody who owns a flight school.
35:11
Speaker 5: I want to know how you got into what you get.
35:14
Speaker 5: I made an eighty eight. Okay, that's okay, I'll take
35:17
Speaker 5: Would you hire Jonathan to be your pilot.
35:21
Speaker 1: A drone? Yes?
35:23
Speaker 3: Means our students have to Yeah, they have to get
35:27
Speaker 3: closer to ninety like you're there, but yeah, take it again.
35:31
Speaker 1: We yeah to have everybody.
35:33
Speaker 3: I got ninety eight on mine, just saying, but on
35:37
Speaker 3: my instrument rating, I only got a ninety five.
35:40
Speaker 5: So wow.
35:41
Speaker 7: But I mean, if you threw me in front of
35:44
Speaker 7: an instrument right now, I'd be like, this is most
35:46
Speaker 7: certainly some sort of instrument.
35:48
Speaker 5: That's what I would say. So it's uh, but I
35:51
Speaker 5: want to know about one hundred on it. I don't
35:56
Speaker 5: believe you, Chase, you.
35:57
Speaker 6: Get it, Sue and Chaser had to be on this podcast.
36:03
Speaker 7: I want to know about the flight school. I want
36:05
Speaker 7: to know like how, I mean, how you even ended
36:08
Speaker 7: up with a flight school? How does one wind up
36:11
Speaker 7: with that?
36:12
Speaker 3: Well, I I really just I was thinking of like
36:14
Speaker 3: my retirement years and what I was gonna do, and
36:17
Speaker 3: obviously I want I am not someone to ever sit
36:20
Speaker 3: behind a desk. Sorry, I have a little fuzz in
36:23
Speaker 3: my hair. I'm not I'm not someone to sit behind
36:26
Speaker 3: a desk. I always need to be busy doing something
36:28
Speaker 3: and I'm like, what can I, you know, do I
36:31
Speaker 3: in my retirement age that it is not a full
36:33
Speaker 3: time thing, but it's always thrilling.
36:35
Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, I wanted to be
36:37
Speaker 1: a helicopter pilot.
36:38
Speaker 5: Wow.
36:39
Speaker 1: I went and took a discovery flight in a helicopter.
36:42
Speaker 3: But the guy, I think he just looked at me
36:44
Speaker 3: and assumed that, you know, she's this old lady that
36:48
Speaker 3: doesn't know what she's talking about, and like I couldn't
36:51
Speaker 3: reach the rudders.
36:52
Speaker 1: I you know, like it didn't work. I couldn't do it.
36:54
Speaker 3: So we went for a stupid flight which was really
36:56
Speaker 3: fun and enjoyable, but he's like, yeah, I don't know
36:59
Speaker 3: if this is really for you, won't behold. I'm very
37:02
Speaker 3: good friends now with the woman who owns that helicopter company,
37:05
Speaker 3: and she was like devastated, but she's like.
37:07
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's such bullshit. But anyways, I.
37:10
Speaker 3: Came home and I, you know, I was just like,
37:12
Speaker 3: this sucks because I really wanted to do this. And
37:14
Speaker 3: then Ernie, my boyfriend, was just like, why don't you
37:17
Speaker 3: just try you an airplane? I said, I think they're boring,
37:20
Speaker 3: and he just said just try it anyways, because and
37:22
Speaker 3: so I went to Discovery Flight. I'm like, okay, I
37:24
Speaker 3: can do this. So started my lessons and then you know,
37:30
Speaker 3: once I passed and got my PPL, I was just like, oh,
37:32
Speaker 3: that's private pilot less you know, for.
37:35
Speaker 1: For you guys.
37:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, for you late. I mean on the myself.
37:42
Speaker 6: Okay, I thought you were talking about pretty Little Liars
37:45
Speaker 6: that TV.
37:46
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's p l l L.
37:49
Speaker 1: There you go, we'll give you a pass.
37:51
Speaker 3: So anyways, I ended up getting that, and then when
37:53
Speaker 3: I knew I wanted, I decided I wanted to become,
37:56
Speaker 3: you know, just an instructor so I could do part time.
37:58
Speaker 3: It's still fun an exciting. Probably have to do a
38:01
Speaker 3: lot of saves because these kids are so dumb and
38:05
Speaker 3: they make really stupid mistakes. And when I went to
38:09
Speaker 3: do that, I realized all the money I spend getting
38:12
Speaker 3: my private pilot's license, that I would maybe it'd be
38:15
Speaker 3: cheaper to buy a plane because you need so many
38:17
Speaker 3: more hours, you know, for the in rating and then
38:19
Speaker 3: commercial and everything else. So I said, you know, what
38:22
Speaker 3: the hell with it, let me go buy an airplane
38:25
Speaker 3: and take it from there. So with that, I bought
38:27
Speaker 3: for Speechcraft Musketeer Sport, and one of my instructors said, listen,
38:31
Speaker 3: if you want, I can.
38:33
Speaker 1: Bring you a couple of students that might help you
38:35
Speaker 1: pay for you know, the cost of the plane.
38:37
Speaker 3: And I said okay, and it just snowballed into me
38:42
Speaker 3: becoming you know, like bigger, bigger.
38:44
Speaker 1: I find you know, an.
38:46
Speaker 3: Office and a huge hangar, and got more planes, and
38:50
Speaker 3: you know, just kept going on from that. So it
38:52
Speaker 3: was never nothing planned, and I never moved forward past
38:56
Speaker 3: my commercial. I never did my commercial, so I'm only
38:58
Speaker 3: instrument rated. More so because I was spending so much
39:01
Speaker 3: time in my plane and I'm like, I'm taking that
39:03
Speaker 3: away from my students, and I'm you know, like, I
39:06
Speaker 3: don't know, I just sort of lost my interest in
39:08
Speaker 3: becoming an instructor more so because I just had I, like,
39:13
Speaker 3: so many students.
39:13
Speaker 1: It was ridiculous.
39:14
Speaker 5: And wow, that's really awesome. That's crazy.
39:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so you got to write a book.
39:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got it. This is really interesting.
39:25
Speaker 2: It is.
39:25
Speaker 1: But it's like I just said it in like three minutes,
39:27
Speaker 1: so like there's not really.
39:28
Speaker 5: Much, you know, word count goes up in the book,
39:32
Speaker 5: you know a little bit.
39:33
Speaker 6: I thought about the title already.
39:34
Speaker 5: The title is.
39:35
Speaker 6: I thought, to hell with it, I'll buy a plane.
39:39
Speaker 5: That's actually, yes, that's good, that's great. And that afforded
39:45
Speaker 5: you the flexibility to go on Survivor.
39:47
Speaker 3: It did because you know, like when you have a
39:51
Speaker 3: flight school, basically your instructors are general contractors. So they're
39:57
Speaker 3: my employees and I pay them, but they're not really
39:59
Speaker 3: my employee. So they work with their students and they
40:03
Speaker 3: schedule with their students, and all I do is answer
40:06
Speaker 3: the phones and go up there and walk around and
40:08
Speaker 3: say hi everybody.
40:09
Speaker 1: And there's really not much, you know, really that I
40:13
Speaker 1: need to do, so being able to leave.
40:15
Speaker 3: You know, one of my student my instructors to answered
40:17
Speaker 3: my phones for me and took care of everything. And
40:20
Speaker 3: my mechanic is we use them every day basically, so
40:23
Speaker 3: he was all over my planes taking care of everything,
40:25
Speaker 3: and it was very simple to be able to go away.
40:29
Speaker 5: That's all so cool. Wow.
40:31
Speaker 6: So if I want to go on Survivor, I need
40:33
Speaker 6: to get on this flight stuff.
40:35
Speaker 5: Now you need to buy a plane.
40:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that was my clinching. I think that that
40:40
Speaker 1: was my what clinched me to be able to be
40:42
Speaker 1: brought on Survivor.
40:43
Speaker 3: My initial audition tape was me flying in my plane saying,
40:50
Speaker 3: you know, my name is Sussme. I'm a flight school owner,
40:54
Speaker 3: I'm a pilot, I'm a grandma blah blah blah.
40:57
Speaker 1: Fifty eight years old.
40:59
Speaker 3: And I think that you know that first yeah seconds
41:03
Speaker 3: is what called their eye. And then you know, one
41:05
Speaker 3: time I was I liked doing a lot of handy
41:08
Speaker 3: work around my house. I'm like the man of the
41:10
Speaker 3: house and Ernie's the female and.
41:14
Speaker 5: Let me love Ernie. Erne's proud of it.
41:21
Speaker 1: He'll be in stop cooking while I'm mowing the lawn.
41:24
Speaker 3: There's one time I was we knocked on a wall
41:27
Speaker 3: and so I was sanding, using one of those big
41:30
Speaker 3: electric sanders to sand this.
41:32
Speaker 1: I was making this board that I needed to sand,
41:36
Speaker 1: and I bent over and my hair got stuck in it.
41:39
Speaker 1: And with that, I had gotten the call from Caitlin,
41:43
Speaker 1: the casting director. So I'm on the phone with.
41:45
Speaker 2: Her while I have.
41:47
Speaker 3: My God and I wish that I had a photo
41:50
Speaker 3: or could have. I couldn't take a video, but I
41:54
Speaker 3: had like a ten minute phone call with my hair
41:56
Speaker 3: like this huge sanders.
41:57
Speaker 1: Hanging from my head.
41:59
Speaker 6: Did you mention on the phone?
42:01
Speaker 1: I told her she's cracking up. No, don't wait up
42:05
Speaker 1: for me, like I didn't want to lose it. So
42:07
Speaker 1: I just stayed on the phone with this huge standard
42:09
Speaker 1: day on my head.
42:11
Speaker 7: If I'm a casting director and I call someone for
42:14
Speaker 7: a reality show and they say hold on, my hair
42:17
Speaker 7: is caught in a sand er, I'm like, you're hired,
42:20
Speaker 7: like yet on this show?
42:21
Speaker 1: Right? I really pushed it over and nothing like if
42:24
Speaker 1: you you were flying.
42:25
Speaker 5: A plane in the video that baby call you like this.
42:30
Speaker 3: And then I have extensions, so I was more worried
42:32
Speaker 3: about ruining my extensions. So I'm just so I'm crying,
42:35
Speaker 3: her going, oh my god, I'm probably gonna ruin my hair,
42:37
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. I meanwhile, I should be talking about survivor.
42:40
Speaker 7: Well, I was thinking about getting extensions today, but I've
42:42
Speaker 7: got some sanding to do, so this is a good morning.
42:45
Speaker 1: Wait for the sand.
42:46
Speaker 5: I'll wait, I'll wait.
42:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a big day for you, Jonathan, because
42:51
Speaker 4: just from like you've been talking to Sue and you've
42:53

42:59
Speaker 5: I've lost you save a lot of money. You've saved
43:02
Speaker 5: me so much money and time.
43:04
Speaker 1: It's we need to speak more often.
43:06
Speaker 5: I know, call me a lot of money. Because I
43:08
Speaker 5: bought a plane while we were talking.
43:11
