00:00I am really freaking excited to play Survivor.
00:05I have studied this game.
00:06I love this game.
00:08And I can't express how honored I am to be part of the first season back.
00:12That's freaking crazy.
00:18It's been a year and a half of quarantine.
00:20Your mind's going crazy.
00:21And I would throw on Survivor and I would just binge watch it all day and all night.
00:26I got to look forward to seeing competition.
00:29I'm a former NFL player and the competitive spirit never leaves.
00:33You're always trying to win at something.
00:35So this is the ultimate test for me.
00:43Survivor kept me going through pandemic.
00:46I was an alternate.
00:47I went from possibly being casted, so you're not on the cast,
00:50to being called 24 hours before you're going.
00:53I'm freaking out.
00:57I want to show my kids, you know.
00:59Mom said she's going to be on Survivor and look, she's here.
01:02Now you can really do anything.
01:04Like, let's start with making your bed.
01:08I've been a fan of Survivor since I could even watch TV.
01:12I was born after Survivor.
01:13It aired in 2000.
01:15I was born in 2001.
01:16And in my life, I always say there are three constants.
01:19There's my faith, my family, and Survivor.
01:22You know, take everything that makes Survivor great and inject it into my bloodstream.
01:26And there you have me, JD.
01:33As someone that is in the hospitals, on the front line, honestly, this past year has been pretty traumatizing for
01:39me professionally, personally.
01:41And so this is kind of a complete reset for me.
01:43I am beyond ready to play this game.
01:51A lot of people will think that pastors, like, they can't play this game.
01:53They can't play this game well because they're soft and, you know, they want to take the high road all
01:58the time.
01:58Listen, I am the mafia pastor, okay?
02:00I am half Italian, half Jamaican.
02:02That means I'm cutthroat, okay?
02:03Like, I will pray for you and walk you out the door at the same time.
02:06I have no problem doing that.
02:09The respite club for me.
02:09No, I won't say anyności that I have.
02:12Hello, Fillsy party!

02:13I will answer my questions.
02:14My friend Jesus, saudina!
