Hey everybody what's going on Rob Cisternino back here and I've got a survivor exit interview on the road from my mom's house this morning back on Long Island after a great event last night I had so much fun with everybody we had the all time biggest attendance at a R.H.A.P. live show over 800 people were in attendance for us last night as we watched episode number two of survivor 45 and

a really really fun podcast I can't wait to share it with you hopefully we will have that recap up for you later in the afternoon here on Thursday as we get ready here with an exit interview I'll be talking with the man who left the game

Brandon Donlin he is going to be chatting and talking about his experience with us here in just a moment you can watch the video on our YouTube channel as well at Rob is at website.com slash YouTube let me quickly shout out also Shannon and Mary Ann who hosted the know it all last night and did a phenomenal job so really appreciate them stepping in while we did the live show here on this week and so you can hear that not to mention

our survivor feedback show coming up on Monday when I'm going to be talking with Ira Madison the third as our feedback show so get those feedback questions coming in and then in this podcast we'll talk with Jordan Kalish as well in a

Twish unlike any other before here on this exit interview but we've got Brandon on the line let's go ahead and patch him in Brandon how are you doing today buddy?

I'm so good I can't tell you how good I am I'm really like I feel so I it feels illegal to feel this good I can't even tell you okay well anyway Brandon it was very nice to see your journey on the show and happy to hear the things are going well today could you tell us a little bit about the whole experience with tribal council going into last night did you know it was going to be you did they tell you.

They they people people it was never like an explicit you are leaving tonight but I could kind of tell I went in like 60 40 that it was probably me and then as tribal council progress I got some like pushback from Sean on things I said I got pushback from

Sophia we didn't have a vote but I knew it was kind of controlling what was happening so I like when I give my Jeff answer when Jeff is like what does this experience mean to you it's 95% sure I'm leaving like I get I made sure I got my little bite my two cents it like Emily I didn't even

realize Emily got the same question because I wasn't listening because I was just thinking about my answer so I'm glad that it you know I said exactly what I wanted to say I went back and forth

in my head about whether I should like be like oh I'm coming back so it doesn't matter what you know like doing one of those to like kind of but I was like listen if I don't go back

and regret not giving a so I think that you could have said differently that would change anybody's opinion I could have said that there's a

planet fitness a couple blocks from here I can go work out and then I'll be back in the window there's nothing I think that it was probably it was a done deal I think that this is you know it was it was pretty much like even

it they really structured the episode beautifully in terms of like it is trend versus loyalty you know I was no question really struggling in the challenges and Emily was just kind of having a tough time in the actual camp itself so I think that they they made the decision that they thought would benefit them at the time and again like I wanted to hug everybody after I left there were there was zero heart feelings we had a we had a

we had a we had a great time and I get I could not the the Lulu tribe is is is there a lot of memes it's the best tribe ever I mean I couldn't have asked for five better people to do this

all right well I think that your tribe has entered into historic territory because I don't know if there's another tribe in the history of the show that has gone five days without

without fire I'm pretty sure that you you might know better than me yeah how much is that actually taking a toll on how this tribe is doing well you know it's not necessarily the fire as much it's just like there's no

wind and the no wind is harder than the no fire I mean granted we couldn't cook anything like that sucks we weren't particularly warm which is is awful but it was just so demoralizing to just like

loose like if there's no like we had so much fun we were laughing every night we were how we were making the best of the situation but at a certain point

it's like you know when you lose the first day you're happy and then you know it you know but it got progressed slower and slower into like oh my God

like we're all we're all smiling you know we would walk into challenges and we don't be pumping each other up and then we all be looking each other like we're not we're not we're not this

price isn't going to go you know you know we got to be prepared for worst case so it's I mean we we it is very hard but but we we trucked along again we we we we benefit

from having like six really really funny people like we're loo tribe we like we're comedy wise or batting a thousand so that definitely helps in this
