This Is the One Thing President Obama Refused to Do on Running Wild With Bear Grylls
, , President Obama's appearance on Running Wild With Bear Grylls aired Thursday night and no, the Commander in Chief did not drink his own pee. , He did, however, eat some salmon that was previously nibbled on by a bear the animal, not Grylls. "I've seen some of the stuff Bear eats, and it's gotta be something that doesn't still have its legs and eyes on it. I want it not to be too recognizable," Obama said. "Bear's a mediocre cook, but the fact that we ate something recognizable was encouraging. Now, the fact that he told me this was a leftover fish from a bear, I don't know if that was necessary. He could have just left that out.", , But Obama drew the line at drinking his own urine "I suppose, in extremis, it's something that I would doif the alternative was death," he said. "It's not something I'd make a habit of. And I probably wouldn't do it just for a TV show."
