146: Mt. Rushmore of Trapped on an Island

What would you do if you were trapped on an island? Maybe look for a source of fresh water, or get a fire started? How about building yourself some sort of shelter from the elements?

OK, let’s be honest – the first thing you’d do is get butt naked and let the warmth of the sun hit every forbidden spot on your body. But it’s the things that would happen after the inevitable sunburn subsides that would determine your ability to survive on a desert island.

This week we’re talking about everything from the crippling boredom of being alone to the possibilities of building a taco machine. So yeah, we’re pretty all over the place, kind of like a fever dream you might have if you decided to drink sea water out of desperation.
