  Speaker 1: always like, Wow, that is that is for some crazy people.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I don't think I would ever do.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And it was more along the lines of the fact
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that it was just like, you know, having a dude
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: from a boot camp and my face barking up my tree,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: carrying boats through swamps and all sorts of craziness. I'm

• 3:56
  Speaker 4: my store the other day and and it makes me
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: sad that I'm not talking to her right now, just
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: because she's part of this story. But Ashley, we were
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: at the Golden Wedding and I don't know if you
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: saw my story, but we were at the Golden Wedding
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: and Ryan and I and the kids were standing next
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: to Ashley and Jared and we were just chatting waiting
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: to go inside, and she said, have you been asked
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: to do Special Forces yet? And I said no, I mean,
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: what are you kidding? And I mean, I don't know
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: exactly what I said, but it was something on that
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: to that effect. And she was like, I think you're
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: going to be the next person from Bachelor Nation to
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: be asked.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: And I was like, you're crazy. There's no way.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: First of all, they're gonna want me, and second of
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: all that.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: I would do that. That was a crazy Town show.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: And just it's just it's so up Ryan's alley, right, yea,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: oh my gosh, so up Bryan Sally, so not up
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: my alley at least, you know, I thought until I
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: got there, No, I'm just kidding. So I I just
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: kind of, you know, blew it off. I was like,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: that's that's so silly. And then This was months before
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: I even got approached to be on the show. So
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: I work with Paul DeSisto, and they contacted him and
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: said they were interested in having me on the show.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: And I was He goes, would you do Special Forces?
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: I probably have the text would you do Special Forces?
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: And I said, guess what?
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: I said?
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: No? But Ryan would?
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: It wasn't just that, it was hell, no, God. I
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: was like, don't you don't you want my husband?
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: The wrong ar.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: My next Trista.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: I'm a woman, I'm fifty to fifty one years old.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: And anyway, so I told Ryan.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: About it and and Max and my family, and Ryan
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: was like, why wouldn't you like this would be an
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: incredible experience for you? And and I'm thinking to myself, oh.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: Oh god, really you think this would.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Be a good thing?
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: And then he did like flip my mind, like he
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: he just made me really think about it. And so
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I wrote Paul back and I said, hold up, let
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: me think about this. Let me actually like watch a
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: couple shows really know what I'm getting into. Because I
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: had seen I think maybe one or two, but I
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: hadn't really thought.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: About me being on it. You know.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: From that perspective, I was just watching as like a viewer, right,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: and do.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: They tell you at this point when they call you,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: do they say, and we're also talking to Ali Mano,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and we think the two of you would be a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: great team or is there none of that yet?
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: Okay, No, that they don't.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: They don't share with you any other cast members until
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: you get there. Okay, you you're you're not supposed to
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: know about anybody else. Yeah, so no, I had no
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: idea who would be doing it and.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: Let's see.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Uh so Ryan and I talked, talked more watch the shows,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: and He's like, I really do think that you should
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: do this. I think that you you you know. At
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: this point in time, I was really struggling with what
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I'm who I'm going to be when my kids go
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: off to college, like when we are.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Empty nesters conversation.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's crazy, Like I'm a stay at home mom,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: stay at home and work mom, I say, but I
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: pour myself into our kids and that's my that's my
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: primary job is household manager, stay at home mom, you
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: know all of that stuff. And I'm like, who am
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I going to be?
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: Truly? Who am I going to be?
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Who do I want to be when my kids are gone,
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: and I really was like, you know what, I feel
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: like this will give me such good perspective on what
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: I want out of life. Who get back to the
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: real me, Like, not not that I'm not the real
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: me with my kids, but get back to who I
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: am at my core. You know, who trist is, not
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: just trist as the mom, trist as the wife, Trista
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: as the friend, whatever.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Just well, I think there's something to this, like remember,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and obviously I know it's a different stage in life,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: but when we talk with Joan from the Golden Bachelorette
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and she was like, I feel invisible and I got
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to see who I am again, and you know, I
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: realized this is a much different stage in life than,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: of course where Joan is. But I think women, you know,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: certainly go through those passages in life because, like you said,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you've been pouring yourself into your kids for the last
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: eighteen years, and you know, now all of a sudden,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: it's going to be one of those things where you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: who am I?
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Do I have the gumption I used to have? Do
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I have the you know? I mean, wow, what a
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: great way to find out. I'm so excited.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Well and It's also like a once in a lifetime opportunity.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: You know, people, I actually wanted also to go on
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: the show because Ryan would have loved to be there.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: I actually I'm going to talk to the Fox people
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: tomorrow and put his name in the ring, and I'm
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: gonna put his name over and over because he would
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: thrive in this environment. He wanted to be in the
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: military and just keep COLORLND like that's crazy, you know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: he just it never happened.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, you already got me secured for an invitation for
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the Golden Bachelorette wedding, So just let him know. If
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Ryan's in, I'll do it with him and we'll be
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: roommates again, just like just like when we were both
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: buying for your love and attention back in the day.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I would love it. So I just
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: feel like, you know, I kind of wanted to do
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: it for him. I wanted to make him and my
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: kids proud of me. I want to show my kids
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: that you can do anything that you put your mind to,
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: that you can do hard things and things that aren't
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: necessarily in the path of who you think you're going
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: to be, but be open to all opportunities in your
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: life and don't just say hell no, hell yeah.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: There is there. I mean, obviously it is a reality show.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of eyes on it, so
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I would imagine it's also I mean, I'm not that
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I can tell already that's not the motivator behind you
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: doing it, but I'm sure there was a decent payday
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: involved as well. So it's like there's got to be
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: some of that, you know, circulating like Okay, I could
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: do this.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: The kids are getting ready to go to college.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: You know, you never know if you're ready for all
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: that either, And you know, I mean, was that a
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: motivator at all?
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: No, I feel like I just I really wanted to
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: be part of this opportunity. And you know what, like
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I have a very very strong respect for our military. Yeah,
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: my dad was in the Army, he was in Vietnam.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: My grandfather fought in World War Two, he was a pilot.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: My father in law was in the Navy. Like I
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: have people in my life that I have Navy seals
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: as friends. You know, I know a lot of people
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: who are in the military and respect them. And all
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: the people that I don't know who have been in
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: the military, and I really wanted to learn, just get
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: a little teeny tiny piece of information, knowledge, wisdom of
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: what they go through, you know, like I being part
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: of the show is like, you know, squeezed, like basic
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: training I think is months and months and months.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Right, this was ten days, So.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can ask you this.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Though, was it the ten physically and mentally hardest days
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: of your last couple of decades of your life? I mean,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: because it looks like, oh, it tests you to your core.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Like when I watch that show, I'm just like I
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: am a nervous ball of energy watching it because I
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm going to throw up. I feel like
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I'm so stressed out where you feeling that way? Like
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I would think it's even getting outfitted for the close
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: before the whole thing, it would have me ready to
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: break down in tears.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: I'd be a mess, you know what, Like.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: I before, Yes, I was a mess.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: I listened to podcasts, I read books like I. I
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: tried to get myself mentally prepared. I talked to my
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: friend who is a Navy seal. He is like a
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: not a he's like in charge. I don't know, I
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: don't know how what his title is or whatever. But
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: he's he's very well respected in the Navy Navy Seal community,
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: and I just wanted to say, like, what, what advice
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: would you give? I did also talk to gosh, you
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: do like you go through all of these medical like testing,
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: psychological testing, whatever. And before we started, I talked to
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: the doctor on staff.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: And he said, he gave me this quote.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: That you want to be Oh gosh, what was it?
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Uh naive enough to start and stubborn enough to finish.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's awesome, right, And I was.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Like, I am really stubborn, so I'm really hopeful, but no,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: I you know. I I ended up telling Paul obviously
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: that I wanted to do it, and I did have
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: to get through some medical some medical drama because I
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: have had I've had back surgery, I had a fusion,
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: a lumbar fusion, and at first they weren't going to
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: clear me after hearing about that because of some of
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: the activities that you saw in the promo that I
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: got pushed off of a boat, yeah, into like open water,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: and they were I think they were worried that that
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: would cause issues with my back. But like I talked
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: to doctors who were you know who had worked with
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: worked with me on my pain management after my surgery.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: I've been great after my fusion. I've been awesome.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: Like I feel.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: I've always said, like I wish I would have done
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: my surgery sooner, so it been like ten years ago
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: or whenever, you know, before my surgery, then yeah, I
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: would have been like, there's no way I can do
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: this show. But I was like, please just give me
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: the chance to, like, you know, try it, and if
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: I feel at any point that the risk is not
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: worth it, then I will VW, which is voluntarily withdrawal.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: And that's the beauty of this show. It's not a
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: competition show where you are competing against other people. I
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: mean kind of you are in a way just because
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: I wanted to be like, you know, as good as
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: other people and I didn't want to be a burden
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: and that kind of thing. But it really is truly
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: an individually challenging show. You're just it's you against you.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it, how you come from day one to
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: day ten. Right, It's like I would imagine that's a
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: big part of it.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: So I really wanted to challenge myself and to get
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: out of kind of the rut and not that I'm
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: in a rut, like I'm really happy, we have a
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: happy life, the kids are great, Ryan's great, like, we're great,
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: all of that. It wasn't like a rut in terms
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: of my relationships. It was more of a rut of
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: like who am I and who am I going to
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: be when my kids leave? And what do I want
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: to teach them at this point in my life and
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: through this opportunity, hopefully go for it about straight.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Well, let's let's talk a little about that too, Like, so,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: you know, you we had some drama earlier in the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: year that was kind of stirred up, you know, social
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: media style, and it was it was really you know,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: and I'm starting to connect the dots in my head
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: right now timeline wise, right, So it was really right
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: around that time that I'm sure you were either already
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: out the door or whatever you might have been doing.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Let us know, Like, I mean, I obviously know you
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you and and Ryan are fine, but I remember some
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: people were like speculating like, oh my god, it's the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: end of you know, it's the end of Tristan Ryan.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: This must be what's going on. And it was based
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: off of a very heartfelt, very emotionally you know, charged.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Post from Ryan.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: He was like, I love you so much and I
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: just I don't know what to do without you here
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: right now. It's like, you know, and so people were like,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: what the hell's going on?
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: You know? Yeah, so tell us a little bit about that.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: So he posted I went back to it on May seventeenth,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: and I was filming. I was filming then, so I
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: can't see this post when it came through. I was like,
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: they take your phones away. You know, you're you're invested
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: in the show. You know you're you're there to filmah
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: and to you know, do what they need you to do.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: You're not on your phone, so.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: You know, part of it was he started with I
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: really wish I could talk to you, ask you how
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: you're doing, how was your day.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: I'd really like to hear your voice just for a minute.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: So many times I've called without much to say, not
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: realizing how lucky I was or how much I'd missed
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: the opportunity if you were gone. I want you to
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: I want to know how you're doing. I want to
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: support and encourage and cheer you want, and I want
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: to be there for you. But I can't, and that's
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: okay because I know you need this time time to
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: discover yourself again. So I'll be here for you instead.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: I'll be here for you when you get back. I'll
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: be here to listen to you, to smile with you,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: maybe cry with you. I'll be here to love you.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: I'll be here forever.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Even the dude's Instagram poster, it's just like when we're
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: on the show together. It's like Edgar Allan Poe wrote that, like,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, what the hell is It's like poetry, you
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: know what I mean?
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: This guy, I mean, he blows my mind all the time.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that is a gorgeous test and I you know.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: He's a great writer, but you know that gives so
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: much perspective, right, Like you know now that you know
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: why he was writing it, it makes total sense. And
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: he wasn't trying to be dramatic. He was literally just
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: like I've always said this, screaming it from the rooftops.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: Like we have this.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Opportunity to like share with people while we're sharing it
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: with the world, you know, share with each other, while
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: we're sharing it with the world, what we're feeling with
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: social media, and that's all he was doing, and it
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: caused this humongous uproar. I just posted again and said.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Holy crap.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Like everyone thought I was either having a nervous breakdown
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: that we were getting a divorce or trial separation.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: I was dead. What were the other things? I don't know,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: but everyone was lost.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: It was a lot. I remember going, oh my god.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: And then I remember you and I talking when you
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: first got back, kind of touching on it, and we
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: even talked about it on the podcast, and I remember,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what it was, but I
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: even felt like.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I needed to.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Say something, so I think I said something like, well,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I knew you were going to be you know, I'm
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: meant unavailable for a podcast for one week or something.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I forget what I said, and even then I was like, oh,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: oh no, I just get her in trouble by saying
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: that I knew that she was going to be gone.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: You know, I remember feeling like there was I knew
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: there was something going on, you know, just from what.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Else I couldn't do anything. Yeah, yeah, So and I
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: think I know we talked about it on a podcast,
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: so I don't know if you guys can pull it up,
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: but or like see what we said. But essentially I
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: remember saying, yeah, we're good, everything's good.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: I just I just was out of pocket, you know.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you were really good. See I'm really bad at that.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I'd be like I was out of pocket for a
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: special thing that was forcefully my decisions.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Of course, the worst.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I can't keep anything to myself and I you know,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: let's just say, I feel like Chuck Norris.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't even know what I would have said,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: but I'm sure I'm sure the whole world would have
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: figured it out about thirty seconds.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: If I would have done the damn thing. I'm so
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: proud of you. What a what a huge undertaking.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: And I mean, and to a certain degree, I guess
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: what a what a daring and and very you know,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: knowing how much you respect the military as do. I mean,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: my father was a marine and I and I would
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I would love.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: To go through something like that.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: But part of me is like almost afraid now because
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: of the fact that all the Bachelor Nation folks keep
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: winning it. I'd probably be the one that would show
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: up and yeah, just like when they asked me to
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: be the Bachelor, make I probably shouldn't because it shows
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: going to get canceled.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Well you know that, I know.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: But yeah, pressure, the pressure, a lot of pressure. Yeah, yeah,
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: there was a lot there was, although there wasn't really pressure,
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: you know what. I feel like it's similar to when
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: people talk about the pressure of staying together if you're
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: from the Bachelor.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: And you've been successful.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: I'm like, really, no, there's no pressure, Like, yeah, these
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: people were on the show prior to me and Ali
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: doing it, but it was my it was my pass
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: my you know, it was me against me.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: So so with you being partnered up, and sure we'll
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: we'll talk with her eventually as well about her experience,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: but with them, with the two you partnering up, did
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: you find that you had more in common?
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Cause, I mean we've we've kind of you know. I
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: remember when we did our shoot many.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Years ago together and it was like, you know, the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Bachelor and Bestrette Favorites or whatever it was Andrew Firestone,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: myself and you and Ali and I can't remember Emily,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: And it was awesome. Yeah and Andrew Firestone of course,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and and we had such a great day that day.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: But I but I don't really see Ali ever, you know,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And so I was I was curious did you did
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: you guys have like this opportunity to reconnect and like,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: is it?
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: You know it?
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Was it one of those experiences where you found out
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: you have way more in common than just having on
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: a TV show together.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: You have the same grit and the same paint life.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just so curious right now.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: I mean honestly, like, you think that you're gonna be
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: with these people like all the time, right you are,
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: But you're really like when you're in doing a like
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: a challenge or a task or you know, a drill,
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: whatever you want to call it, you're not really like bonding.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: You're not like.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Chatting about like life, right you're talking about you're looking
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: up at this bridge and saying, holy shit, right, like
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: you're like what like and all you're talking about is
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: how to survive that you know, or what are the
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: tips from the people who have gone before you or whatever.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: So you're not really.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Talking like in depth unless so you do ride. So
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: you ride from like task to task, like the first
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: day we were on that boat where I got pitched
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: off of the boat and everyone you know was on
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: the boat, and you do the task that you do
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: once you get off the boat, you swim and you,
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: you know whatever. Once you're done with that, you run
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: to the like jeeps or.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: The transportation vehicles.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: And four of you were in a car, okay, so
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: or a jeep or whatever, and it's just all random, really,
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: So who gets to the jeep first, second, third, whatever,
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: you get in one whatever, It's completely random.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: And those were the moments where.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: You would bond with people because there would be like
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: you'd be in the car for an hour two hours
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: with someone and you're in a little tiny, you know,
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: the back of a jeep and it is like you're
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: facing each other, you know.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: But those were the moments that you really bonded. And
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: Ali and I were never in a car together, in
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: a jeep together, okay, so.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the people that I ended up being in the
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: jeeps with, I there were there are some of my
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: favorite moments that I'll never forget. Like, I mean, I
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: was like talking to Golden Tate about like gold and
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Jim Newton about pickleball, Like it was.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: The fact that they are both on this show and
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: they are guys that I actually know personally as well.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I am so oh yeah, I know, Golden, Golden and
• 25:22

• 25:25
  Speaker 3: very long time. Yeah, it's crazy, you love it.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: I can't wait to tell them. Well, well, for sure

• 25:34
  Speaker 4: love that you that you know them.
• 25:36

• 26:17
  Speaker 4: of them. So that was a fun surprise, is like
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: I really was looking forward to. You know, when you
• 26:23

• 26:26
  Speaker 4: probably will never meet in other ways in your life,
• 26:28
