Hey, it's Robin Marcus. We've got an improv show coming up on Wednesday night and we're going to do just a little two-person radio scene based off a random word. The word Marcus is Snout. That TV show survivor, one of the challenges was I had to eat weird foods from that area and one of the things was just pig snout.

And I was just chopped into little slummy pieces, but you can really see like the nostrils and it's like the hair bristles on it. P.S. you're still watching Survivor? No, this is Asian.

I have not been watching Survivor for years. That was my family thing. We would save like Wednesday night or Friday night or Thursday night, whatever it was. We'd all gather on the TV when I was like nine and we'd watch Survivor.

Yeah, I remember the early season of Survivor that was like must watch TV for me and seemed to be random girls that I was dating at the time. I always feel like I'm watching it's like, oh, I could do that. Like that's easy. Like, why are they struggling to do this?

You know, especially living in Kenmore. Like it's just it's camping by a little bit more difficult. Totally, totally. All right.

I'm your God for today. Okay. We're gonna go up Tunnel Mountain. Ugh.

Whoever gets the top gets one million dollars. Tunnel? That's like the toughest hill around. And when it gets worse, before that, we're gonna bike the legacy trail.

What? Going really hardcore here in the Bo Valley. The Bo Valley survivors like the toughest thing I've ever done. Camera aside.

I can't believe you asked me to do both the legacy trail and Tunnel Mountain in one go. I mean, that's like the double crown of Banff. And I don't think anyone's ever done it before. To make matters worse, we are gonna have children on the course of the legacy trail.

Do you have to bike away around them? Hopefully have your bell so you can pass them. We cut to the producers meeting. So there was about eight children that were injured yesterday on the legacy trail challenge.

I think we need to ramp down the difficulty of the show a little bit, Jeff. Yeah, I'm sorry. That was a mine fart for me there. I thought it would be easy, but apparently just too difficult.

All eight contestants crash and wipe down on those eight children. And we had some major injuries going up a Tunnel Mountain, some huge exhaustion, stroke, cramps. A couple people had to go to the bathroom and there were no facilities around. So yeah, I mean, we're gonna have to dial it back a little bit for the next Bo Valley Survivor challenge.

Well, next episode is in Kenmore. So I think I got an idea here. Okay, all right. All right, survivors.

We're going on the policeman's Creek Boardwalk. How are we gonna do that? Like, do we have to wear special shoes or? You should wear your walking shoes.

But the path is uneven in some spots because the flood took away some of the pathways. So it's the word work is not exactly level. So watch your foot in there. Come back to the producers offers.

We're facing some major lawsuits here, Jeff. There were lots of splinters in that last Boardwalk challenge. People in the water and they didn't have their water wings. Someone decided to take their cycle across the Boardwalk and and by law ticketed them.

And now they're now they're out of the contest. So this is a disaster. This is an unmitigated disaster. Why are you making things so hard, Jeff?

Come back to the next episode. The single scoop challenge from the ice cream bus. Do you really think I can eat a full scoop of ice cream? You can have a waffle cone if you want to get the immunity idol or you can just have the kids cone and pass the challenge.

Back to the producers office. They all got ice cream headaches. I think we need to start pulling tougher people because this is where children or children are. They can do anything.

They'll be in a structural to bounce off the cry for a minute and then they'll get back up and they'll keep playing the game. So I think maybe we should do this with kids. Both Valley's Survivor and the Children's Edition. What are you gonna make us do?

Today we are in the Lawrence grassy middle school playground and you're gonna kick the ball. I'm really gonna kick in the ball. Okay, just make sure you don't fall over because your mom will complain and sue us.
