In this episode of Beyond the Torch, host Leslie Nease flies solo (Todd wasn’t feeling well) and welcomes Mikey Bartone — a fan-favorite from Survivor: Micronesia and founder of Watertown Whiskey — for a wide-ranging conversation that covers how they both got cast on the show, what it's like watching Survivor as a former player, and why modern seasons feel harder to follow.
Midway through, Johnny Fairplay crashes the call, leading to hilarious stories about a chaotic moped ride through Phuket, a wild night in Tokyo on a US Armed Forces Survivor tour, and a lively debate about the meaning of "scumbag" as a term of endearment.
The episode wraps up with Mikey sharing how his love of coconuts on Survivor inspired him to launch Watertown Whiskey, now available in Massachusetts and California, and both guests reflecting on how the friendships forged through the show have been the real prize.
