Speaker 4: guys kind of get you know, the view of what
2:13
Speaker 4: it's like, and you're gonna see I'm not perfect, I'm
2:16
Speaker 4: gonna mess up. I'm going I'm gonna learn, You're gonna
2:19
Speaker 4: see me screw up, and I'm gonna see me grow
2:22
Speaker 4: from it. And I wanted, like, like when I was
2:25
Speaker 4: talking to production, I was like, guys, I want this
2:27
Speaker 4: to be real.
2:27
Speaker 5: I want us to be raw.
2:28
Speaker 4: I don't want it to be perfect like you see
2:31
Speaker 4: a lot of these other home shows.
2:32
Speaker 5: I want people to see my mistakes.
2:33
Speaker 4: So I'm I'm learning, I'm growing, and I'm just like
2:36
Speaker 4: every other person going into a home and trying to
2:38
Speaker 4: renovate and try and make it better. And I think
2:40
Speaker 4: that comes across and I'm excited for this show to
2:43
Speaker 4: come out and people to see that story.
2:47
Speaker 2: When you were last on our podcast, you just did
2:49
Speaker 2: an interview with Ben. I was basically on maternity leave,
2:52
Speaker 2: and I you know, Ben and I will be honest,
2:54
Speaker 2: we don't always listen to the interviews that each other
2:57
Speaker 2: do back, but with you, I really wanted to and
3:00
Speaker 2: I love what you were talking about. You're like, you know,
3:02
Speaker 2: I got off the show. It was all sparkle and
3:06
Speaker 2: limelight and Hollywood, and I think it was just around
3:09
Speaker 2: that time, especially given the timeline that you just gave
3:11
Speaker 2: us that you were just like, I need to ground
3:13
Speaker 2: myself again. And I feel like this show is going
3:17
Speaker 2: to display what you've been doing, because you have been
3:21
Speaker 2: able to be very involved with media, but also you're
3:23
Speaker 2: doing this, so you kind of have You're a Hannah
3:25
Speaker 2: Montana Tyler.
3:27
Speaker 4: It's funny said because we always joke around about it,
3:29
Speaker 4: Like I literally I love it because I get to
3:31
Speaker 4: live like this grungey construction life. Like I'm wearing beat
3:36
Speaker 4: up work boots and you know, I got clothes that
3:41
Speaker 4: will have stands in them forever now, and that's my
3:43
Speaker 4: wardrobe here in town.
3:44
Speaker 5: And I love it.
3:44
Speaker 4: And and then when I go to New York, it's
3:46
Speaker 4: like we dress up, we look nice, we go out
3:49
Speaker 4: and we do nice things, and so it's like the
3:52
Speaker 4: best of both worlds.
3:53
Speaker 3: The best of both worlds.
3:55
Speaker 5: Exactly exactly, So it's great. I love what I do.
4:01
Speaker 4: I love being in the space, and honestly that nothing
4:06
Speaker 4: has made me feel more fulfilled and happier than being
4:10
Speaker 4: home and doing these and starting these businesses and being around.
4:14
Speaker 5: The friends I grew up with.
4:15
Speaker 4: Like we get we have great friends from the show,
4:19
Speaker 4: but I got better friends back at home, and so
4:22
Speaker 4: I've always liked to stick with my people.
4:25
Speaker 2: Well, you have your friends and your family involved with
4:28
Speaker 2: the show, your dad, your two brothers, and then your
4:31
Speaker 2: best friend is his name Ryan or Rob?
4:34
Speaker 5: Rob?
4:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rob, So Rob's involved. You basically have to convince
4:39
Speaker 2: Rob to move to Jupiter, Florida, leave his home base
4:43
Speaker 2: in Georgia to be part of your construction company Image one.
4:48
Speaker 2: Can you give us a little teaser as how that's.
4:50
Speaker 3: Going to go.
4:51
Speaker 4: It's tough, you know, Rob has he's got a kid
4:56
Speaker 4: who's entering high school, and he's got a beautiful daughter
4:59
Speaker 4: who he was in kindergarten, you know, and having him
5:04
Speaker 4: down here like it's tough because he's missing you know,
5:07
Speaker 4: he missed his daughters like first basketball games, and he
5:11
Speaker 4: missed some of his sons you know, sports and stuff
5:13
Speaker 4: like that. And that's hard for any father, I'd imagine.
5:17
Speaker 4: And so my whole thing was like, man, let's bring
5:20
Speaker 4: the whole family down here. Let's let's go after this
5:22
Speaker 4: together and see what we can do. And it just
5:24
Speaker 4: kind of like a you know, trial to see will
5:28
Speaker 4: he won't he bring his family down and try and
5:31
Speaker 4: make something more out of this.
5:33
Speaker 2: And what about your brothers? What were they doing before
5:35
Speaker 2: you're trying to get them involved with this.
5:37
Speaker 5: So my one brother's in the army, there's no getting
5:41
Speaker 5: him involved.
5:41
Speaker 4: He loves what he's doing. He's and he you know,
5:45
Speaker 4: he loves where he's at. My other brother, uh he he.
5:51
Speaker 4: We tried it, and you guys will see we worked
5:53
Speaker 4: all together, but you know, he's you'll see more about
5:56
Speaker 4: us and how we work together and how that goes
5:59
Speaker 4: in the show.
6:00
Speaker 5: But he's a firefighter.
6:01
Speaker 2: Now okay, great, Well you make clear during the first
6:05
Speaker 2: episode you're like, Dad, I know that you are the
6:08
Speaker 2: experienced one with construction, you're a general contractor, but you
6:11
Speaker 2: are not part of my company.
6:13
Speaker 3: Why was that?
6:15
Speaker 2: Is he just retired or you were like Dad, let's
6:17
Speaker 2: not mix family like dad and son and this.
6:21
Speaker 5: Yeah. I love my pops.
6:22
Speaker 4: I've tried, I've worked, I have products I do do
6:24
Speaker 4: with him, you know. But I'd love to do my
6:29
Speaker 4: own thing, you know, and I love to you know.
6:31
Speaker 4: Part of me wants to put my dad in a
6:33
Speaker 4: position where like, hey, Pops, like I just want you
6:36
Speaker 4: to come around and hang out, yeah, and and help
6:39
Speaker 4: me if you can hand and I want I won't
6:41
Speaker 4: put my pops at ease, you know. And he's worked
6:43
Speaker 4: so hard for us for so many years, and he's
6:45
Speaker 4: and he probably work till he dies just because he
6:47
Speaker 4: loves doing it. But part of me wants to prove
6:49
Speaker 4: to him that I can do this on my own.
6:52
Speaker 4: I don't need you to hold my hand. And as
6:54
Speaker 4: a parent, I think you'll see it's hard for him
6:56
Speaker 4: to let go because he wants to be sold all
7:00
Speaker 4: my life, you know. But it's it's tough. We've definitely
7:05
Speaker 4: had some blowouts. We've had some great times, but working
7:09
Speaker 4: with family and friends can be very, very tough. Everyone says,
7:12
Speaker 4: don't do it. And when everyone tells me don't do it,
7:15
Speaker 4: I always got to see for myself.
7:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta play out Devil's advocate there.
7:19
Speaker 5: Yeah.
7:20
Speaker 2: Well, as part of the show, you are going to
7:24
Speaker 2: renovate your mom's house. Now, your mom passed away four
7:27
Speaker 2: years ago. I can't believe it's been four years. That's
7:30
Speaker 2: got to be the most emotional thing. How and why
7:33
Speaker 2: did you decide to renovate it and then tell me
7:37
Speaker 2: how emotional it was to just change parts of her house?
7:41
Speaker 4: Well, I actually the real backstory who it all is?
7:46
Speaker 4: So a week before my mother passed, my dad was
7:49
Speaker 4: handing her like the documents of the house, like it
7:53
Speaker 4: is finally paid and clear. This is your house, you know,
7:59
Speaker 4: and it's always been a goal of his and he
8:02
Speaker 4: made that happen. And then my whole thing was you
8:05
Speaker 4: got the house now I could renovate it for her,
8:07
Speaker 4: And I was flying in I was flying home on
8:11
Speaker 4: the twenty eighth. Who shoot the is the reel which
8:14
Speaker 4: is like what you shoot shoot the shell the show,
8:16
Speaker 4: And she was supposed to be a big part of it,
8:18
Speaker 4: and then her accident happened at twenty seventh, so then
8:20
Speaker 4: we had to postpone the shoot, postpone everything. Then COVID
8:24
Speaker 4: happened right after that. So then this is a real
8:26
Speaker 4: happened like way way after that.
8:29
Speaker 2: You know, this is a real for which show.
8:32
Speaker 5: For this construction show?
8:34
Speaker 2: No way, So this was has been the works for
8:37
Speaker 2: over four years.
8:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh wow.
8:40
Speaker 2: So this was like an opportunity that you were you
8:43
Speaker 2: had gotten soon after The Bachelor I rapped.
8:46
Speaker 4: M and so we were so then so then you know,
8:51
Speaker 4: my mom's accident happens, Well yeah, accidently we can say
8:56
Speaker 4: happens and then and then COVID happens right after it,
9:00
Speaker 4: and so we can't film anything, you know, And and
9:03
Speaker 4: so me and my agent were like, you know, like
9:07
Speaker 4: what do we do?
9:07
Speaker 5: You know?
9:08
Speaker 4: And we ended up me and my buddy shot something,
9:11
Speaker 4: you know, and we shot together. We put it together.
9:13
Speaker 4: That's how we sold it, you know. But she was
9:17
Speaker 4: supposed to be a part of it. Every step of
9:19
Speaker 4: the way, and she she was supposed to be that
9:22
Speaker 4: realer to help me find my house, is to help
9:23
Speaker 4: me find my next projects and be a huge part
9:26
Speaker 4: of the show. And the last you know part of
9:29
Speaker 4: the show was I was always going to surprise her
9:31
Speaker 4: with her own home renovation because her house, her house
9:34
Speaker 4: needed it so badly. So I mean, you'll see, it
9:38
Speaker 4: was very emotional at the end to finish up her house.
9:44
Speaker 4: I was always excited to do it, and we were
9:45
Speaker 4: doing that was so amazing, so like excited and thrilled
9:48
Speaker 4: because such great change was happening and this needed to
9:50
Speaker 4: happen for many many years. And then to get to
9:54
Speaker 4: that point when I'm supposed to be handing her the
9:57
Speaker 4: keys to her house, you know they you know, that's
10:02
Speaker 4: when I got emotion. I was like, damn, like she
10:04
Speaker 4: should be here with us right now and enjoy this.
10:06
Speaker 4: This is for her, and for that to not happen,
10:09
Speaker 4: that was heartbreaking. But to share it with my brothers
10:12
Speaker 4: and to share it with my dad and everyone has
10:15
Speaker 4: still made it special.
10:16
Speaker 2: So who's going to have the house now?
10:19
Speaker 4: So I lived in it right afterwards and then and
10:23
Speaker 4: it was such an amazing house, and I was like
10:26
Speaker 4: I can never sit still, Ashley, and I was living
10:29
Speaker 4: in it, and I was singing to myself, like this
10:33
Speaker 4: isn't right.
10:34
Speaker 5: You know.
10:34
Speaker 4: I put a bunch of money up in to make
10:36
Speaker 4: this house right, me and my dad did, and to
10:38
Speaker 4: do it for ourselves and my brothers. But I didn't
10:42
Speaker 4: feel right living in it, and so I decided I
10:45
Speaker 4: wanted to turn this into a rental and share it
10:48
Speaker 4: with everybody.
10:48
Speaker 5: And I turned into an Airbnb.
10:51
Speaker 4: And what's great about that is now, like it's kind
10:54
Speaker 4: of like the gift. It's like the gift that keeps
10:56
Speaker 4: on giving for mom, because you know, it's it's booked,
10:59
Speaker 4: it's busy, it's rented, and my brothers are able to
11:01
Speaker 4: make some money off a bit. But one day maybe
11:04
Speaker 4: it becomes one of their first homes for their family
11:07
Speaker 4: when they have a kid. You know, I would say,
11:08
Speaker 4: like when you all have a kid and need a home,
11:10
Speaker 4: like this is here for you guys.
11:12
Speaker 2: You know, Oh that's fantastic. I love that idea. I
11:15
Speaker 2: love that you kept it, you know, so like you're
11:17
Speaker 2: still the owner, but yeah, it's shared in that like
11:21
Speaker 2: you could always go there if.
11:23
Speaker 4: You need exactly that'll be a house that will forever
11:25
Speaker 4: cherish our whole lives. So I don't think you'll never
11:29
Speaker 4: be able to get that out of our hands forever,
11:32
Speaker 4: because like that's where thirty one years of our lives
11:36
Speaker 4: has been a part of. You know, I lived on
11:38
Speaker 4: I haven't lived there all thirty one years, but we
11:40
Speaker 4: lived on three different houses in that neighborhood my whole life.
11:43
Speaker 5: But we've always kept that house, you know.
11:45
Speaker 4: And when the market crash and we lost everything, we
11:48
Speaker 4: moved back to that house, you know, And so that
11:52
Speaker 4: home has you know, I had so many tears, so much,
11:55
Speaker 4: so much joy and so much pain everything, you know,
12:00
Speaker 4: so to finally make it something special again. And honestly,
12:04
Speaker 4: like when my mom lived there, it was a home.
12:06
Speaker 4: And when she was gone, like everyone kind of saw,
12:08
Speaker 4: like during quarantine, what the house turned into because everyone
12:11
Speaker 4: was watching.
12:12
Speaker 3: Whenever I watched Quarantine crew house.
12:14
Speaker 4: Yes, like that was a quarantine crew house and they
12:17
Speaker 4: saw all kind of disaster. Everyone would be talking to me,
12:20
Speaker 4: clean up your house, fix this, fix that. I'm like, ah,
12:22
Speaker 4: one day, not right now. And then I turned to
12:24
Speaker 4: a frat house basically did and now it's back to
12:29
Speaker 4: being a home and it's beautiful and we maintain it
12:31
Speaker 4: and we you know, it's well kept now and uh
12:34
Speaker 4: it's it's like our pride and joy.
12:46
Speaker 2: That was four years ago, the quarantine crew house and
12:49
Speaker 2: how we all watched, how you guys spent your time there.
12:53
Speaker 2: What do you look back and think about about that, Tyler,
12:57
Speaker 2: that version of you, oh.
12:59
Speaker 4: Man, just the careless, care free wild times that like
13:04
Speaker 4: there was no responsibility, Like we just had to sit
13:06
Speaker 4: in the house and hang It felt like summer camp,
13:07
Speaker 4: you know. We just sat in the house and like,
13:09
Speaker 4: I know, it wasn't so great for others and it
13:12
Speaker 4: was tragic time, you know, but like I think about
13:15
Speaker 4: that time like it was me, Matt, Hannah, you know,
13:20
Speaker 4: Brown Bear, Katie Doule, like some of my greatest friends
13:24
Speaker 4: all in the house and we just hung out and
13:26
Speaker 4: just were with each other for months and months and months,
13:29
Speaker 4: and it was you know, it was all honestly, it
13:32
Speaker 4: was healing because that was right my mom passed away
13:35
Speaker 4: with him like a week and a half, two weeks,
13:38
Speaker 4: and so to be there and to have everyone around us,
13:41
Speaker 4: it was like the best thing that could have ever happened.
13:43
Speaker 4: Instead of like going back to New York City or
13:46
Speaker 4: doing anything like that.
13:47
Speaker 2: So what happened when it was over, you know and
13:52
Speaker 2: we could all kind of live normal lives again, did
13:54
Speaker 2: you have like a jarring transition act?
13:58
Speaker 5: No?
13:59
Speaker 4: I think so I got I got a girlfriend over
14:01
Speaker 4: quarantine and uh and and she was a South Florida girl,
14:05
Speaker 4: and so we were always kind of in that house
14:08
Speaker 4: and hanging in that house. And she always gave me
14:10
Speaker 4: crap like I ain't ever moving into this house the
14:12
Speaker 4: way it looks, you know, And I was like, what
14:15
Speaker 4: do you mean, I'll just put a carpet over there
14:16
Speaker 4: and you know, hang some drapes over here, and she
14:20
Speaker 4: was like no, no, no, And looking back, I don't
14:23
Speaker 4: blame her. That house was a wreck, you know. I
14:28
Speaker 4: mean there was water spots everywhere, mold everywhere.
14:30
Speaker 5: It wasn't safe.
14:33
Speaker 4: So, you know, I kind of at that point in time, though,
14:37
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm afore I'm here. I already had
14:40
Speaker 4: a couple of restaurants that I got involved with here
14:43
Speaker 4: in Florida, and I already had two properties that we
14:46
Speaker 4: were building houses on in Florida. So I was like,
14:48
Speaker 4: I'll just be here, and COVID changed the game, like
14:50
Speaker 4: I don't have to be in New York or LA.
14:52
Speaker 4: For all these castings and meetings, we can hop on
14:53
Speaker 4: a zoom and I can be I can be there
14:56
Speaker 4: in the day.
14:57
Speaker 5: You know.
14:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, So when you doing the renovations on the house,
15:01
Speaker 2: did you make it exactly what you would imagine your
15:05
Speaker 2: mom would want to see, like the details and all
15:07
Speaker 2: of that, like, but architecturally, architecturally.
15:12
Speaker 4: It is I think it would be above and beyond
15:16
Speaker 4: what my mom would want it because my mom she
15:18
Speaker 4: has like that, you know, like the cheesy nautical yeah
15:22
Speaker 4: thing that everyone does. My mom definitely falls in that category.
15:26
Speaker 4: So we would have had to be like, Mom, that's
15:28
Speaker 4: great and all, but we're going to do this special,
15:30
Speaker 4: make it really really nice, because I mean this thing
15:32
Speaker 4: is beautiful. I mean this is something that you know,
15:35
Speaker 4: we bring clients to they see, you know, we've signed
15:38
Speaker 4: deals to renovate people's homes based off of bringing them
15:41
Speaker 4: to that house, you know. And it's definitely more of
15:45
Speaker 4: the times, and you know, it's it's the call of
15:48
Speaker 4: japandee like Japanese Scandinavian vibes within the.
15:52
Speaker 2: House Japanese and Scandinavian.
15:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it has to deal with like the wood
15:57
Speaker 4: finishes and the stone finishes and all that stuff, as
15:59
Speaker 4: well as like the furniture is more like mid like.
16:05
Speaker 5: Modern.
16:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was stumbling and mubbling over my words mid
16:08
Speaker 4: century modern. I almost had mid tenery modern, mid century modern.
16:16
Speaker 4: So I mean it's really cool space.
16:18
Speaker 2: Oh nice, Okay, So we will be able to see
16:21
Speaker 2: this when the show, Well, the show is coming out now,
16:23
Speaker 2: it's out now Amazon Prime Video April eighteenth. Yeah, we were.
16:28
Speaker 2: We can't air it until so don't now April eighteenth.
16:32
Speaker 2: And why did you go with Amazon Prime?
16:34
Speaker 5: Did you? Why?
16:36
Speaker 2: Amazon? Especially since this has been in the works for
16:39
Speaker 2: a while.
16:40
Speaker 4: I think Amazon was the biggest believer in our vision
16:43
Speaker 4: because we didn't want to just make a home rental show,
16:46
Speaker 4: Like we wanted you to also see like Jupid in
16:49
Speaker 4: my life and like my friends and my people and
16:51
Speaker 4: those relationships and all that stuff and.
16:53
Speaker 2: Heart reality show.
16:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's like it's definitely a blend of both,
16:58
Speaker 4: you know, Whereas you know, you kind of some of
17:01
Speaker 4: the other you know now works wanted a real strict
17:04
Speaker 4: home rental show, so we were you know, this this
17:07
Speaker 4: was definitely the best fit. And I also feel like Amazon,
17:11
Speaker 4: like when you need something for your house or when
17:13
Speaker 4: you need something, what do you call it?
17:15
Speaker 5: You call Amazons?
17:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, so I feel like they're just they're
17:18
Speaker 4: and with the design they're and with renovations. Like so
17:20
Speaker 4: many times we'd be in the pitch, we'd call Amazon,
17:23
Speaker 4: you know, we would go online and buy whatever we
17:25
Speaker 4: needed and then be there the next day. Like it's
17:27
Speaker 4: just I just think that Amazon is so on with
17:31
Speaker 4: the times and and they're doing great stuff, and you know,
17:33
Speaker 4: on Prime but also like in store.
17:37
Speaker 2: And you have some of your bachelor friends on you
17:38
Speaker 2: have Hannah Brown, she's in an episode now. You and
17:41
Speaker 2: Hannah have had just the most up and down of relationships.
17:47
Speaker 2: You know, your friends, you're not friends, you're dating. You're
17:49
Speaker 2: not dating now obviously you're not dating. What is your
17:53
Speaker 2: relationship like now? And what should we expect to see
17:56
Speaker 2: from her on the show?
17:58
Speaker 5: Relationship is great, I think you'll see like it's we
18:03
Speaker 5: have to figure out how we work together.
18:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, like every time you see each other, it's
18:08
Speaker 2: like wiggly.
18:10
Speaker 4: Exactly exactly, because you know, we've we've definitely had our
18:13
Speaker 4: pass of ups and downs, like you said, and I
18:16
Speaker 4: think we definitely work them out. We definitely work them
18:20
Speaker 4: out and it's for everyone to see. But what I
18:23
Speaker 4: love about Hannah is like anything she does, she goes
18:26
Speaker 4: full speed, one hundred miles an hour and gives it
18:29
Speaker 4: her all.
18:30
Speaker 5: And she did that. You know.
18:32
Speaker 4: I called her on a big favor. I was like,
18:35
Speaker 4: my designer can't take on this work she's got. She's
18:38
Speaker 4: too full, can't do it like this person loves vaccination,
18:43
Speaker 4: loves me, loves you. Like it should be huge, and
18:47
Speaker 4: it's also the biggest I've ever been in, Like help
18:51
Speaker 4: me get this client.
18:52
Speaker 2: You know, the biggest house you've ever been in, and
18:54
Speaker 2: you're having Hannah decorate it.
18:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, just because she was that big of a
19:00
Speaker 5: Bachelor fan.
19:01
Speaker 4: I walked into the house and she had my book
19:03
Speaker 4: and I uh and like a like a Tyler Urban Dictionary,
19:08
Speaker 4: like t shirt on, like she's a big man of
19:11
Speaker 4: the shows, you know what I mean. And I mean
19:13
Speaker 4: this is like I've driven by this house so many
19:15
Speaker 4: times in Jupiter. I was like, that house is amazing,
19:17
Speaker 4: like I would like that's a dream home. And they
19:22
Speaker 4: called and it was incredible, and but I had no designer.
19:25
Speaker 4: I was like, well, I was like thinking a lot
19:30
Speaker 4: of options and I kicked around a lot of ideas
19:32
Speaker 4: and and then I was like, well, Hannada, she had
19:35
Speaker 4: a pass in this, you know, and this lady loves
19:39
Speaker 4: bachelor like loves, love loves, and there was Well.
19:43
Speaker 2: I have to say, from what I've seen of Hannah's
19:45
Speaker 2: place is on Instagram, they're very cute. She does a
19:48
Speaker 2: great job putting them together.
19:49
Speaker 5: She does a great job. She does a great job.
19:51
Speaker 4: So I was I was confident in the sense that
19:54
Speaker 4: she was going to give us her all and and
19:57
Speaker 4: do her homework and make sure like she meets to
20:00
Speaker 4: clients needs, just not confident in how we were going
20:03
Speaker 4: to jive.

Speaker 2: Interesting, you just weren't sure how this one time was
20:07
Speaker 2: going to go because every.

Speaker 4: Such a place now where we're accepting we understand each other,
20:18
Speaker 4: you know, and our passes, our past.

Speaker 2: Oh he is okay, all right, all right, So you
21:23
Speaker 2: guys are still are you still as close as you

21:28
Speaker 2: like I can't be such good friends with Rachel like
21:33
Speaker 2: all that we.
21:35
Speaker 5: Had, we've had, We've had our growing pains for sure,
21:38
Speaker 5: you know.
21:39
Speaker 4: But yeah, me, Matt, me, Matt are great. I actually
21:42
Speaker 4: just saw him yesterday. Everything, you know, we're great. Beat
21:47
Speaker 4: him in some pickleball yesterday. But yeah, Matt came down.
21:50
Speaker 4: Like what you see is like we had the last
21:52
Speaker 4: supper at my mom's house, and so am I anyone
21:55
Speaker 4: who spent a lot of time has been a part
21:58
Speaker 4: of my mom's house and part of my mom. And
22:01
Speaker 4: that has definitely been a part of both you know,
22:04
Speaker 4: with the quarantine crew and then also his relationship with
22:06
Speaker 4: my mother. So I really wanted him to be a
22:09
Speaker 4: part of it, and he was there for that, and
22:11
Speaker 4: then he also showed up for the gala.
22:13
Speaker 2: I was going to say, you raised three hundred and
22:15
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars at this gala.
22:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been amazing.
22:19
Speaker 3: What was the cause?
22:20
Speaker 4: So we're raising money for scholarships for students that are
22:23
Speaker 4: in need here, you know, within my town county. Now
22:29
Speaker 4: now we do it now we do everything in North County,
22:31
Speaker 4: North Plumage County. So yeah, that year we raised three
22:36
Speaker 4: hundred fifty thousand dollars. This year we raised four hundred
22:40
Speaker 4: and fifty thousand dollars and all that money is going
22:43
Speaker 4: to our kids. We now have if you go to
22:46
Speaker 4: basically I'll put it this way, if you go to
22:48
Speaker 4: an in state public school and you have our scholarship
22:52
Speaker 4: your tuitions.
22:53
Speaker 5: Completely cover for that's amazing.
22:55
Speaker 4: So this year we're adding fourteen new students on, so
22:59
Speaker 4: that'll us at twenty one students total, and we're just
23:02
Speaker 4: going to keep growing up.
23:04
Speaker 2: You're killing it, Tyler.
23:16
Speaker 3: How do you do it all?
23:17
Speaker 2: You've just kept chugging along, You've stayed relevant for the
23:21
Speaker 2: past five years. What's your secret?
23:24
Speaker 5: Take your shirt off?
23:26
Speaker 3: That is the best, most honest answer of all time.
23:30
Speaker 2: So you take your shirt off, and you can do
23:33
Speaker 2: such good because you give the people what they want and.
23:36
Speaker 3: Then you're able to manipulate.
23:39
Speaker 4: You got to use a thirst shop every now and
23:41
Speaker 4: then to get you back in the mix, you know,
23:44
Speaker 4: so like I ain't dead, you know.
23:47
Speaker 2: All right, Well that's a good entrance way into some
23:50
Speaker 2: fun questions that I have for you that I know
23:53
Speaker 2: you have to go. So I'll wrap this up soon.
23:54
Speaker 5: But you.
23:57
Speaker 3: Let's talk about you and Nick on Special Forces.
24:00
Speaker 2: You both are guys that love taking your shirts off,
24:04
Speaker 2: both such prominent successful members of bachclination. When you went
24:07
Speaker 2: into that, were you like, oh, this is my main competition.
24:11
Speaker 2: I have to make sure to beat this guy out,
24:13
Speaker 2: especially because at the time I wasn't sure.
24:15
Speaker 3: You could tie because you guys ended up.
24:16
Speaker 2: Like tying and all being crowned the winners or was
24:19
Speaker 2: it like I'm I have a friend woho.
24:23
Speaker 5: Honestly, it's the first one.
24:25
Speaker 4: It was like, I ain't going out before this dude
24:27
Speaker 4: in Bachlination goes out and that's for damn sure. Yeah,
24:31
Speaker 4: And so I was, you know, I wasn't gonna lose
24:33
Speaker 4: to him. There's no shot in hell.
24:36
Speaker 3: I think that's why both of you ended up at
24:38
Speaker 3: the end.
24:38
Speaker 5: Yeah. And also like Hannah Brown, Oh Yeahna Brown finished
24:43
Speaker 5: the show.
24:43
Speaker 2: That's right, you had to beat Hannah too.
24:46
Speaker 4: I was like really going through it, and I wrote
24:49
Speaker 4: all my issues down on a penn and pad, you know,
24:52
Speaker 4: and I was like I can't, I can't, I can't
24:54
Speaker 4: hop out, you know. And then I was like, man,
24:57
Speaker 4: if Hannah Brown gets through this and you don't, you'll
25:00
Speaker 4: never hear the end of it, you know. And so
25:03
Speaker 4: I mean, I already had so much respect for her,
25:07
Speaker 4: but for Hannah to get through that show, that was
25:10
Speaker 4: one of the I played football. I went through two days,
25:12
Speaker 4: I went through Hell, I went through getting killed by
25:14
Speaker 4: big dudes on the football fields, like Hannah is a beast,
25:18
Speaker 4: you know. But and then also having Nick there too,
25:21
Speaker 4: I was like, I can't lose the Nick, you know,
25:23
Speaker 4: and that's just and I think Nick had that competitive
25:25
Speaker 4: edge of them too. But what's funny is like by
25:27
Speaker 4: like day three and four, I never really spent time
25:30
Speaker 4: with Nick, you know, I was like, I don't really
25:32
Speaker 4: like this guy a lot. And and when we get
25:35
Speaker 4: just being those situations and sit there and talk through
25:37
Speaker 4: a lot of things and just learn about each other,
25:39
Speaker 4: like I came to really love Nick and who he is,
25:42
Speaker 4: and he's just he became, you know, became an amazing
25:45
Speaker 4: friend ever since, and like I got so much love
25:47
Speaker 4: for the guy and became so proud of him for
25:52
Speaker 4: completing the show. Because there was a time on that
25:55
Speaker 4: show where I was like Nick's done.
25:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember that dip.
25:59
Speaker 5: He was and then he just it was day sticks.
26:03
Speaker 4: He was shot and I could see in his eyes
26:05
Speaker 4: and you can see it every time I see those
26:07
Speaker 4: someone's eyes have been gone two hours gone in five hours.
26:11
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, Day seven came around.
26:14
Speaker 4: He had like a you know, second win, and he
26:16
Speaker 4: was a beast and that was like just so cool
26:18
Speaker 4: to see someone, you know, beat that internal battle within
26:22
Speaker 4: them and become such a dog and make it through
26:26
Speaker 4: and I just made me have so much respect for him.
26:29
Speaker 4: And I mean, I'm like, that guy will do anything,
26:32
Speaker 4: you know, when it's for his kids, family, friends, like
26:35
Speaker 4: he'll he'll he'll go through hell and back, which she did.
26:37
Speaker 5: You know.
26:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's such a teddy bear inside but has such
26:40
Speaker 2: a hard shell sometimes.
26:42
Speaker 3: And I love that.
26:43
Speaker 2: That show really showed a side of him that I
26:46
Speaker 2: think Bachelor fans haven't been able to see.
26:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, it strips off that, you know, it takes away
26:51
Speaker 4: that show and it makes me very vulnerable and real
26:54
Speaker 4: and raw and we had to rely on each other
26:56
Speaker 4: and he was so great for that.
27:00
Speaker 2: Okay, so Maria from this past season of The Bachelor,
27:04
Speaker 2: people are saying that, you know, she wasn't she wasn't
27:08
Speaker 2: selected to be the bachelorette. And some people are going, well,
27:13
Speaker 2: you know what, she has bigger and better things. Look
27:15
Speaker 2: at what Tyler did after not accepting the role. What
27:21
Speaker 2: would your advice be to somebody who has such prominence
27:26
Speaker 2: amongst the fandom right now but is not going to
27:29
Speaker 2: be the lead.
27:31
Speaker 4: Strike while the iron's hot. I think she's done an
27:34
Speaker 4: amazing job. I didn't get to watch the season, but
27:37
Speaker 4: I think she's done such an amazing job captivating the
27:39
Speaker 4: audience and the people like I feel like this is
27:43
Speaker 4: the first year in a few years that we got
27:44
Speaker 4: people buzzing about the show a bunch now, you know.
27:47
Speaker 4: And I think she's got a strike while the iron's hot,
27:51
Speaker 4: you know, be creative, think about what her lane and
27:53
Speaker 4: what her focus is, and go for it.
27:55
Speaker 5: You know.
27:55
Speaker 4: I think people love her because she's real and raw
27:59
Speaker 4: and honest and keep delivering that.
28:02
Speaker 2: You can't avoid this question. I'm so sorry you mentioned
28:06
Speaker 2: that there's somebody in your presence right now named Tate.
28:09
Speaker 2: She's also on the show. People are talking about you
28:12
Speaker 2: possibly dating. Is this a thing?
28:15
Speaker 5: I don't know.
28:18
Speaker 2: What has made you be so private about relationships since
28:22
Speaker 2: maybe your relationship with Gigi, just.
28:26
Speaker 4: Because once you make it public for everybody, it's everyone's
28:31
Speaker 4: dance to pick on it and make their pains about it.
28:35
Speaker 4: And I'm okay with that. I can deal with public scrutiny.
28:38
Speaker 4: I've been getting this since I was fifteen years old
28:41
Speaker 4: and playing varsity quarterback at my high school.
28:44
Speaker 2: And you're just not like a classic movie quarterback. Wow, Tyler.
28:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like the most shit on person in
28:50
Speaker 4: the county like there was there was Remember there was
28:51
Speaker 4: a post mate about me. It had like one thousand
28:54
Speaker 4: I had a thousand comments on it and it was
28:56
Speaker 4: called when the Lights Are on Cameron's Off.
28:58
Speaker 5: You know, it's like a post secret. No.
29:00
Speaker 4: It was like one of the blogs about high school
29:03
Speaker 4: sports within the county. It's like what we all would
29:05
Speaker 4: go to to read up on the news and stuff.
29:06
Speaker 4: And it was just ripping me apart, you know, And
29:08
Speaker 4: I was like, so I've been dealing with this my
29:10
Speaker 4: whole life, you know, And but others I don't want
29:16
Speaker 4: them to have to go through that, you know, or
29:18
Speaker 4: at least not right away in a sense.
29:21
Speaker 5: But you know, I don't know.
29:24
Speaker 4: I just like, I like keeping things private to myself
29:26
Speaker 4: and one day maybe, but I'm just I'm just I'm
29:32
Speaker 4: worried about focusing on work. Go to my career, go
29:34
Speaker 4: to my life, and I'm really happy doing what I'm doing.
29:37
Speaker 2: Respectable answer. My last one is a little bit for
29:41
Speaker 2: myself and a little bit for people who are thinking
29:44
Speaker 2: about getting a new house remodeling. What is something that
29:48
Speaker 2: you think that a house should totally have, something that
29:51
Speaker 2: people don't normally think about in your building and constructing today,
29:57
Speaker 2: Like what is a component to a house that you're like, oh,
30:00
Speaker 2: you have got to make sure you get that.
30:03
Speaker 4: I think everyone needs to have an area in their
30:05
Speaker 4: house that they can be decompressing, and you know, like
30:10
Speaker 4: I think you need to have find a space where
30:12
Speaker 4: I can get away from Jared, I can get away
30:14
Speaker 4: from the baby, and I can just be by myself
30:16
Speaker 4: and be me.
30:17
Speaker 5: Whether that's building yourself a little office.
30:20
Speaker 3: My glamor room. I think I have that.
30:23
Speaker 2: It's my glamorom slash guest room, but it's basically like
30:25
Speaker 2: my dressing room and office.
30:27
Speaker 4: And I think that's so important. And like for me,
30:30
Speaker 4: for instance, like I always have people over. Actually I'm
30:33
Speaker 4: putting two offices upstairs, one for me, one for the foundation.
30:38
Speaker 4: Like my executive director will work here in the house,
30:40
Speaker 4: you know, like everyone who works me will work here
30:42
Speaker 4: in the house. You know, will shoot all my workout
30:45
Speaker 4: that is right here in this gym, you know. Like
30:48
Speaker 4: So I need a space that's private within my own
30:51
Speaker 4: house that's I can step away from. And I'm building
30:54
Speaker 4: that right now outside my primary bedroom. I put in
30:58
Speaker 4: these fresh stores. Won't you open to the fresh stores?
31:00
Speaker 4: To go to a deck, and that deck is going
31:01
Speaker 4: to have like a sunholme sauna.
31:03
Speaker 2: I love a deck off of a main bedroom.
31:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm had like my own little coal plunge
31:09
Speaker 4: and I put this like fence all around it and
31:11
Speaker 4: these beautiful arch gates and everything, and you can see
31:15
Speaker 4: through it kind of.
31:16
Speaker 5: But it's gonna be my naked space. I won't be
31:18
Speaker 5: out there. I'm gonna be out there tann and naked.
31:21
Speaker 3: Sure you want to tell the ladies out there about this.
31:23
Speaker 5: Oh, I got no neighbor to the right of me.
31:25
Speaker 5: So if you're over there peaking, you're really sketchy. And
31:29
Speaker 5: you got to go through like a jungle of woods
31:31
Speaker 5: to get to the side of my house, you know
31:33
Speaker 5: what I mean.
31:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well don't don't you know to think that ladies
31:37
Speaker 3: won't do it.
31:38
Speaker 5: Oh, I know I've already had. I've already had crazy
31:40
Speaker 5: people come to the house before.
31:42
Speaker 3: So I love that like part.
31:43
Speaker 2: If he just doesn't care, you're just like, if you're
31:45
Speaker 2: that crazy as fun as well, you know whatever.
31:47
Speaker 5: You're crazy, Yeah, exactly. So I mean it's my little oasis.
31:53
Speaker 4: And I think everyone should try and find ways to
31:55
Speaker 4: put a place in their house where they can kind
31:57
Speaker 4: of decompress, recoup, and catch. Sometimes you just got to
32:01
Speaker 4: get away to catch your breath, and I think that's important.
32:05
Speaker 2: Okay, well, Tyler, your show airs April eighteenth. It's out there, guys,
32:11
Speaker 2: streaming on Amazon Prime. Is there anything else that you
32:14
Speaker 2: want to talk about with the show or your life
32:16
Speaker 2: right now? Anything to share last words with our audience?
32:21
Speaker 5: Just check out the show.
32:22
Speaker 4: I think it's a place where you're going to see
32:25
Speaker 4: me for who I really really am, you know, and
32:27
Speaker 4: not just like bits and pieces of me. I think
32:29
Speaker 4: everyone got to see me on the Bachelorete as a
32:32
Speaker 4: guy dating a girl, and then you see pieces of me.
32:36
Speaker 5: On Special Forces. But this is like real raw.
32:40
Speaker 4: It's me trying to build a business, it's me failing,
32:42
Speaker 4: me picking myself up, it's me navigating what the real
32:47
Speaker 4: world is really like.
32:48
Speaker 2: You know.
32:49
Speaker 4: I think we've been blessed, you know, me, you Jared
32:52
Speaker 4: Ben to the light that we've been given from you know,
32:56
Speaker 4: the Bachelor world. But this is kind of me stepping
32:59
Speaker 4: back into the real world, i'd say, and giving it
33:02
Speaker 4: a real shot against other people who really do this
33:05
Speaker 4: stuff every day.
33:06
Speaker 5: You know.
33:08
Speaker 2: Well, Tyler, we have been like so grateful for the
33:10
Speaker 2: time you gave us, and we hope the show does
33:11
Speaker 2: it really well for you, and we hope to see
33:14
Speaker 2: you soon in person. You're serious, delight, I.
