• 2:29
  Speaker 2: background and how you became part of.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: The show, well back twenty two years in the military.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: I just retired in twenty twenty one, right as all
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: the cast and everyone knows I'm a former Navy seal.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: So I did that most of my career.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Okay, I've deployed seven times in my career out of
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: twenty two years.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Great time. You know, got all my things into So
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm all good, right And from where my background,
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I will say.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: From where I come from. Originally, I'm originally from Washington,
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: d C. That's where my my home home status. But
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: I kind of I kind of reaped both. I'm from Washington,
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: d C. But I finished high school in North Carolina,
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: so everything. I joined the Navy in June ninety nine
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: from Charlotte, which.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Is where I'm at right now.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: And you inst directly this is all coming up because
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: my son is actually considering applying. He kind of wants
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to be a Navy seal que so I might be
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: calling you, so did you enlist? I know there's a
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: few different ways that you can become part of the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: military in the United States. Did you enlist?
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: I did? I did. I came in I mean straight
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: row right when I was in the military.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: So one of the reasons I came I joined the
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: military is because I had kids in high school. So
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: that's the whole of where I come from, right, you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: I was my I didn't I didn't have my mom
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: growing up.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I was raised with my grandparents.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: My mom was a drug ACDT Oh wow, she was
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: in and out of prison a lot.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: So I never knew who my dad was.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: So my grandmother took that responsibility and my aunts and uncles,
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: they all kind of played that role. Is raising me,
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: I guess you would say. So took me from DC
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: to North Carolina. Still have my issues again, had my
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: kids in high school as a teenage dad then, and
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: my grandmother was like, Okay, you're going into the military.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: This is how it's going on.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: You're going in the military so you can help take
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: care with kids and get out of this craziness.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: So it was a good idea, I think today in hindsight.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: You know, she was very sick as well, diabetic ampuchief
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: from the knee.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Down write me down.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: So she was the one who initially pushed me into
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: the military, which I had never wanted to do. I
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: was just not one of the things. I wanted to
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: go play football. I was a football star and all
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: that stuff.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: But it worked.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: Out you know, if I couldn't be a pro athlete
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: or a collegiate athlete, being in Navy Seal truly is
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: the next best thing. Now not really the next best thing,
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: it's really the thing because I have done so much
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: right I could be especially I mean I can be
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: a pro athlete or even a collegian athlete. But collegian athletes,
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: pro athletes, they couldn't do what Navy sills do, you
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. So it's one of those things
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: where I have respect for them. I have respect for
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: anybody that's a professional in any industry that they're doing right.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: I have complete respect.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: But when I look at what I've done and what
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: the Seal teams have done as a whole across the world,
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: you know, it takes the right person.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: To be this, to do this.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: You know, when I in my class, we want to
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: graduated fifteen men, but we had two hundred and seventy starts.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, Wow, this is the normal
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: of when people feel this is reality. It's hard, it's
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: a year long training.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: They just as much.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: As we're we gave it to you on the show,
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Imagine what we get on in realistic life of the.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Training pipe I can't even imagine.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: They don't they don't shake your hand until you graduate.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: You know, you're not cool at all, and gradually and
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: then when you get to a series like you start
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: all over again.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: So those are some of the things.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Is how I got involved in the Seal teams is
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: how it all started to me.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: You know, to be honest with.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: You, that's incredible. I love that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: But my father was a marine. I have incredible respect
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: for anyone who serves a country. And especially when Trista said,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: you know that her son wants to be a Navy Seal,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I was going to pipe in and say, I think
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: every single guy in the world would tell you if.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: They could do anything.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: You know, in my mind, like I tell trist of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: this all the time, I watch a movie and I
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: walk away going, I need to get I think I
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: can still do it. I think, you know, there's first
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of all, there's no way, there's no way I could do.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: But yeah, just a tremendous amount of respect and admiration
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and appreciation for what you've done with your career and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and and you know, for what the Navy Seal Teams
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: have done.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: You know, for our country. I mean, it's a it's amazing.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Having someone on this show, like like like Trista, who
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: obviously you know is coming into this at a later
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: stage in.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Her preparation for seal them.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I just got see that's why I couldn't make it on.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: The show or an ABC.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I just started sweating. So when you have someone like
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Trista on there, and people like like Stephen Baldwin and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: everyone that's on the show, even Cam Newton, I mean,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you you see things in them that you
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: know they're they're they have the fortitude, and they have
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the courage, they want to be there, and they're putting
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: themselves in this situation.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: But I mean, what was someone.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Like, for example, like for Trista, when you would kind
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: of like size her up and you'd see she has
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: tenacity and she has grit, But what was her what
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: was her shortcoming if there was one that would have
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: possibly stopped her, one that could have possibly stopped her
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: from becoming a seal?
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: How is that?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I love you, Bob.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I'll just there you go.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Hey, you pushed that on to me now, so you
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: want me to be bad?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, Yes, sir, I'll answer it, I'll be the
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: bad guy.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Okay, I like I like it, Thanks a lot, thanks
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: a lot.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Oh my gosh, oh man.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: So, uh all right, how do I tiptoe into this this?
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: You know what? Let me.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I'll help a little bit. So I have to tell
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: a funny story. And I don't know if you remember this, Q,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: so hopefully you do. But I walked up to uh
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: where we were going to jump off the bridge, and
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I got to the top, like, you know, you climb
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: up this really steep hill by yourself. You know, Golden's
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: not there to carry my pack. I didn't have my pack,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: but but you know, no one's there to help me.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: So I climb up this hill and I get to
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the top and Q is way there, And do you
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: remember what you said to me? And what I said back?
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: I don't really remember you a breaka.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, you're gonna laugh. Hopefully you're gonna giggle.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: So you you were like, why are you Why are
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: you so out of breath? What took you so long?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I'm fifty one years old, I'm
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: out of breath, I'm out of shape, and I have asthma,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: And you were like yep, and you walked away. Okay, yeah,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: it sounds about right.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: You definitely gave me everything I needed to hear.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh yeah, I got nothing.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: I got nothing on that I can.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Perfect. I was like, well, if I'm being honest, like
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I'm totally out of shape and I'm fifty one. You know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: it was really it was a funny moment and a
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: moment that I feel like, hopefully, you know, at least
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to yourself, you're finding like a little humor because I
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: can't even imagine. But let's go back to Bob's question,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: So what do you think is my weakness?
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: All right, all right for all the people watching this
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: and don't yeah, at the end.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Of this, no, no, I mean I'll probably you know, say, yep,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: he's He's totally right. But I am curious to see,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: like what you what you thought of it, like as
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: someone who sees all these celebrities come through it. And
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm small, I'm older, you know, I don't
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not a professional athlete, I'm not an Olympic star.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm sure you have certain judgments that you
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: have to make because you guys are judging us essentially.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: So yeah, i'd love to know like what I can
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: work on just from my own personal perspective, what I
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: could utilize from your experience, and how I can myself.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: Well, I will initially say, like for the for the
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: general right, for everyone who comes on the show, Yeah, one,
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: typically everyone is not physically in condition in some kind
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: of way. Like me, I, even at forty four years old,
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: I hold my conditioning to the utmost highest standard for me, right,
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: I want to a one hundred year old man is
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: still a beast in this world, and I will always
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: carry and be that way. And I think for the
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: broad spectrum of it all, everyone comes in not really
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: physically ready for that, and then there's others who are
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: even not even close to that, they're even worse. And
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: then mentally, people are assuming the celebrities that come on
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: the show, assuming that.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: There will be a little bit of a lull where you.
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: Get to go and relax and you can kind of
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: you know, have a little chill time where you know,
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: maybe a hotel, maybe your cell phone back, you get
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: to kind of relax. Yeah, all we strip all that
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: away and let all that gum. We treat you like
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: you are really on a deployment, because we want youry
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: to get a full understanding of what we had to
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: go through for the years of seven eight nine months.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Depending on if you was a seal, you're gone for
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: seven eight If you're a marine, you could be gone
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: for an entire year and say yes, SBS the same thing.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: So's we want people to understand that, you know, you're
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: isolated in this in these positions, and you're mentally you
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: have to be in the game, you have to be
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: all in on what you're doing. And I think a
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: lot of the celebrities come in not really understanding that's
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: how it's going to be because as you know now
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: that's this reality show was not like any other reality
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: show ever, and we've really, you know, kicked the crap
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: out of you. So I would say for you personally
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: physic the physical aspect of it was huge for you, right,
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: and then you win it. Right, you have asthma, you
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: have all those things, your age and all that stuff.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: But it's something that because you're a family person, right,
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: it's not something that you're really common to or normal
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: to in your normal daily life, your routine because you're
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: a mom or a wife do all these different things.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: So you're going to come into with that weakness, right,
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: and then the mental as of it is another thing. Uh,
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: there's a lot of fear in you on this thing.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: So you know, I can't remember you.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: First of all, you're answering this brilliantly. I mean, I'm
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: just blown away.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I'm like, God, God, he's doing great.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: I've seen a lot.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: And I was also instructed before I got out the navy,
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: you know, so I kind of I got the chance
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: to see what it's like on the instructor's side for
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: kids who's trying to come in and beat me like
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: your son. Trust I got to see now because at
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: first I wasn't always in the instructor role, so I
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: didn't get the chance to look at her from the
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: other side.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: But when I did, it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: Was like whoa, whoa, Is that what I look like
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: when I went through.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Crying and throwing up? And like then it's so funny side,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: But generally that's what it is.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: The mindset of the thing is you're going through hell
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: the entire time, right, it's the worst thing.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: It's a lot of fears that you've never done this before.
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: You got people yelling at you, you know, and and
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: if you're not mentally prepared for the especially us the
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: verbal abuse that we're giving you, right, and it's.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Ye own verbal abuse.
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: There's a purpose behind it because we're meant to break
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: you down and see if you can still push through
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: all that, if you can not hear it, if you
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: can shut it out, and still even when you fail
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: a task, can you tell yourself to pick yourself up.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: It's all right to keep moving on, even though I'm
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: in your.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: Ass the entire time and telling you you're not, telling
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: you you're not this is not for you, telling you
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: you're weak, telling you you're a failure to the rest
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: of the team, the rest of your your classmates and whoever,
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: and see how you can manage that. You know, all
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: that hell, And I'm like, okay, that's the whole. So
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: I think a lot of that stuff. Everyone that comes
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: on the show, they have they struggle with all those
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: aspects of what I just said.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: So you have you have your struggles with that as well.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: And the physical part.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: I think you've probably been a little bit more physical condition,
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: you would have been able to probably push through some
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: more of the things that we were giving you.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: That's what I was saying.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, tot and I'll tell you kind of a background.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: They approached me I think about three months before, and
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I was I was basically signed up. I was going
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: through the like medical clearance, and they weren't going to
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: clear me medically because I have had a I had
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: back surgery, I had a lumbar fusion, and at one
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: point the doctor was like, well, I just don't know
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: if you could handle being pushed off a boat, and
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I was like, being pushed off a boat, Holy crap.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: So basically I had to get my doctors involved and
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: ended up obviously getting cleared. But during that time, I'm
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: super superstitious, and I didn't work out when I was waiting,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: so I lost like at least a month of training
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: that would really have helped.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: Three months tholand months would have definitely put you in
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: a better bracket physically to handle a lot of the
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: stuff that we was doing with Especially when you start
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: running with fact all that stuff, it weighs on you,
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: like your lower back starts to hurt and be painful,
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: so uncomfortable your neck from this. People don't realize how
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: miserable you completely are when you add weight to your
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: body and you're always wearing this weight and you're always
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: doing this certain thing and you're always running here and
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: you can give They don't realize the they don't realize it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: But it's good. It's good to see what, yeah, you.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Do because your only respect too, I'm sure trust that.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I mean not that, I mean, I know you have
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: friends who have trained in their Navy seals and things
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that are retired now as well. I will say this,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you know, watching the show, I mean I got literally
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: emotional watching the show because you know, I know a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: lot of the people that were on this season and
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I was just watching how you guys are. I mean,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: but I also feel like, you know, you guys have
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: been there and done it, and you clearly still keep
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: yourself in spectacular condition.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Everyone looked like they're in such great shape.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: But it's funny, you know when you went into the
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I think it's called the mirror room, and you kind
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: of would be you know, and it was like the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: one time on the show where we'd see you guys
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: actually you know, as the DS is sort of not
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: ever letting the guard down, because that was one thing
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Denise Richard's commented on too. She had said she kind
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: of had thought, you know, we'll go to a lounge
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: or something. She's like, where's the lounge? You know, where's
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: craft services. But you'd kind of get to know these people,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: which I thought, Man, you guys aren't just great at
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: what you've trained your whole life to do. You're really
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: good at getting us as a viewer to like, you know,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: you kind of got to the heart and soul of
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: what made these people give this thing a shot in
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the first place, and why they're there, why they're not
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: just in their cushy lifestyles, and and I was just
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: watching it thinking, man, they've got to be feeling for this.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Person, you know. But so I have to ask, like,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: you know, in your role, were there ever.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Moments where you were like, oh man, we got to
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: back off of this person, or was it because of
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: your training, because you know what you've gone through, they're like, okay,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: we got to step it up on this person in
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: that moment where we're all at home going hump the brakes,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: you know, give her, give her a minute. Was there
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: ever like that moment where where you, guys, it's not
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: like you smell blood in the water, but you see
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: this person and you're like, okay, we got to push
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: harder now or where are you in those moments?
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Yes or no?
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: To anskwer that out of the bet. Yeah, you'll see
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: that and you want to push. And you'll see that
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: and you're like, oh, let me laying up a little
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: bit on this person. We want to we want to
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: challenge you period, hands down. We want to give you
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: full bore challenge. One thousand percent. What is like one
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: hundred percent right? One hundred percent of the time. Well,
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: you'll you'll get to a point where you see someone say,
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: like a like a Denise right herself when on the
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: scene saw me pulling her number, Yeah about her back
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: right and this and if she sees this, Denise, I
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: have nothing more respect for you.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Girl.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Don't ever know everything. This is personal?
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, sometimes celebrities will take some of that stuff personal.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, I get it, we took it.
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: I didn't like my instructors when I went through I
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: hated them, But when we graduated.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: I understood why.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: They did that to me, why they was in my faith,
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: why they made me feel so like I shouldn't be there.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: I understood it at the end.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was and all that stuff, but it was
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: so funny and I still even when I would meet them,
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: even when I was in a stale team, I still
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: looked at them as the instructor. I will still call
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: them almost instructor, but the same level. But I will
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: still want to say that because they gave me so much. Yeah,
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: so when I have those things go on show, you know,
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: like with Denise for example, that was part of me
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: that I wanted to push and force her back in
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: because I felt she could do more, but she was willing.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: To just yeah it go.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: But I'm like, you can do more, but you're giving
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: me something here that I can't. I can't continue with
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: right because if I allow you to complain about the
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: back of your back is sore, because that's really what
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: it was.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Back is sowred.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: It's not that you hurt. You're not about to break
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: your back. Everyone's back for everyone's back is tired, everyone's
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: needs hurting, all that stuff. But allow you to keep
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: doing this and then put you back in. Then the
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: other what the other celebrity is gonna think, Okay, maybe
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: I can just can I see the medic you know, my.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: Kneehir a little bit? Can I get a little pause? No,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: you don't get that.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: In reality, we don't get off. You know, once you
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: started going to the medic and instructors looking at you,
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: they're writing your name down, they're gonna get you out
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: of here. For we don't need that, we don't need
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: somebody's trying to dodge what we're doing. We're not going
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: to kill you. We are going to extremely challenge you.
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: So it's the point where I was not going to
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: just let her go back in at that point. So
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: I was like, you know what, she's been out long enough.
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: You know, the girls and everyone else have been dealing
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: with everything that's going on with the surfer merchant.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Exercise man that one.
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, give her a chance. But I just couldn't
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: give her the extra chance again because it already happened.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: I think in the pool in the beginning, I think.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, and I think she can yeah.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think something happened here. And I was like,
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: we can't keep doing this now. So and remember we
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: run the show. It's that producers and all that stuff.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: So we create the tactics and all the obstacles we
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: create that.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: We don't want the celebrities thinking they can go and.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: Talk to you know, Paul's time out. Can I go
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: and talk to whoever over here go with us.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's if I may interrupt that.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: That's what I think makes the show so different is
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: you know, everybody kind of kind of like what Denisa said,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: And I mean, you know, I think everyone would probably
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: go into it thinking, oh, you know, if we've done
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: one of these shows in the past, we can kind
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: of pull aside excuse me, you know, and you're by
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: yourself time, right, and you know they know what they're
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: doing when they do that, and especially when everyone else
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: is all linked together and basically being you know, the
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: experience of drowning essentially, and it's like, and she's up
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: there having a little chat. You know, I get it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. I'd be I'd be bitter if
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I'm still down there just swallowing gallons of seawater.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Get here, So I totally get that.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Yeah.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: And it's terrible.
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: We went through that, and I'm telling you that, and
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: we go through what is even the surface a little worse.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: You know, you got some waves coming in, so now
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: it was like smashing you down on your face, and
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: it's even harder because you truly feel like you can't breathe.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: You're uncomfortable mouth. You can't be your eyes the sand
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: and saw it's like lingering here.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: So you get up. When I have you set up,
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: you just still can't do it. You just Tristan miserable, right,
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Actually I'll let you explain how you felt going through
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: that piece of it.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Oh my, well, okay. So what people don't is, and obviously,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: being from reality television, I know that so much ends
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: up on the cutting room floor, like there's just not
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: enough time to show everybody everything, and there's sixteen different people,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: so you want to show like you know, everyone's stories
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: and like the whole process. So what people did not
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: see is we got down to the beach and it
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: looks like we immediately went into the immersion the linked
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: arms activity, but that's not true. We were we were
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: doing sprints with our boots on on the on sand,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: you know, which is really hard to do if you've
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: never gone running in the sand. It's not an excuse,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: it's just really hard. So we're doing sprints and then
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I think the next thing was we had to grab
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: the like giant logs and the sand bags and take
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: them to the beach, and so we were doing that
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: like back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: And those laws how much did those logs weigh?
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we kind of get this.
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: We kind of tried to get what we use in
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: bud so for people on this bus that's for basic
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: underwater demolition sealed training. Those laws can weigh in between
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: twenty two fifty to three hundred and three ten somewhere
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: right in there. It just appends and you got it.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I am so blown away by that, really, holy crap,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: no kidding. I had a hard time so so. And
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: then the sandbags, how much do those weigh or did
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: those weigh on the beach?
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we just kind of put in a bunch of
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: sand and those maybe gotten up to like fifty pounds
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: something like that.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well the hence for the reason why I could
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: not lift it over my head. I was literally like
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: I know you want me to, but I can't.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: So you're just as dry weight is just north of
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: fifty pounds on a normal day anywhere her full body weight,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: I remember actually I remember her oh holding it overhead.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: That was a good Yeah, I remember the sand was poor.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: I could not And I will say like thanks to
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: all the ds at that moment, I remember locking eyes
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: with I think Foxy and Billy because I literally couldn't
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: push it up. It was sitting on my head and
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: at least both of them. I'm sure you saw me too,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: but they like just looked past me. They were like,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: get it above your head, and I'm like, I can't,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: and they just looked past me. Thank God, and gave
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: me some grace in that moment. But I will say,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: so you don't see you know half of what we
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: did on the beach, and I was exhausted. I will say, Q.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: My biggest fear going into this well, one of them
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: was open water. I'm really fearful of open water. And
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I kind of shocked myself because in the Beehive well,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: first in the boat to helicopter jump, I wasn't even
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: thinking about the fact that we were going to be
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: in the water maybe at some point and then oh
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: and when we jumped from the boat, sorry, go back
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: to that, or we got pushed from the boat and
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: we had to swim. I was being weighed down by
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: my clothes and I'm normally an okay swimmer, but I
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: was not even thinking about my fear. Same thing at
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: the beehive, like I stayed, I was treading water. I
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: think I passed that one. I think. But I literally
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: went to the side like seconds before you guys called like,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: everyone go to the side. So I was proud of
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: myself in that moment. And then the beach, I really
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: was not thinking about how cold I was. I wasn't
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: thinking about like the fact that we were drowning and
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: you're going to laugh at this little part. So during
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: the surfer version, when we're linked up, you guys said,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: you know, put your legs back and you know, rock whatever,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: rock whatever. I don't know what your exact instructions were,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: but I got confused. I don't know if anyone saw me.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I haven't even said this to anyone yet, but I
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: did a full on like somersault on my back like
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: a back roll.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: I think I did see me. I think I did.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: I think I do. Recall that happening.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I literally was like.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: What are they talking about? So I just went I
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: rolled on backwards and then I had to reconnect.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: You broke the link, you broke the chain, and I
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: was like, oh, yeah, breaking my chain?
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: I did I did, I did it?
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Yep, I did it.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: So anyway, Yes, it was. It's so much harder than
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: people think. Sorry, Ryan's waving at me, so much harder
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: than people think because you don't see like half even
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: like three quarters of what we do. So it was
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: and it's intimidating. You know, you guys are intimidating. And
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I know you're supposed to be. You're supposed to be
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: breaking us down to make us better, and and I
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: totally get that. At one point, also at the end
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: of the exercise, I stopped Rudy because I was about
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: to pass out. Like, I was like, I am really dizzy.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm going to faint. And he was like, okay,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: do you want to give me your arm band? Same
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: situation like with you and Denise, and and I was like, no,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: I don't want to leave yet, and he was like, well,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: you can't go see a medic, so it's either give
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: me your arm band or you keep going. And I'm like, okay, fine,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: I'll keep going. And then yeah, yeah, finished.
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: Before you finished, just because you made that decision, right,
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: you made that conscious decision. That is what we that's
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: what we want, we want, we're looking for, right, you know,
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: With all respect to her, she couldn't make that decision
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: right in the heat of it. Yeah, rest in that chaos,
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: she was thinking about, you know, I just need this break. Well,
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: guess what, if you finish, you'll get it. You'll get
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: a chance to go see medic late, either at the
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: end of the night or morning. We're not going to
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: kill you and your back is going to break. So
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: when you said that to Rudy, you made a conscious
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: decision to go further, right, to push further, really dig
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: deeper of who you are in your true character, right
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: and see who you really are. And you show that
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: with that, And then I got on you as we
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: kept going. But that was what we're talking about. That's
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: what people in general lose. They don't understand you do
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: have the forty two to keep going. You do have
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: your own power to keep going. People lose that idea
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: and they don't realize they can go, they can push
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: themselves further.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: Than what their initials.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Yea, yeah, I love that.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Well, you you get like caught up in the fear
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: and the pain and the like mental you know, the
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: devil on your shoulder, like I said in the in
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: the trailer, like you listen to that devil A whole
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: lot easier when you're in pain and you're super scared
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: and you're getting yelled at, and you're tired, and you're
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: exhausted and you're sick and you know all of these things.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: So yeah, but you know, obviously, mind over matter it
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: is a thing. It's a thing, a thing.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: You know. Most people don't know.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: When I went through Hell Week, it put me in
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: the hospital because I was really yeah, well, you know,
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: hell We goes from Sunday night to Friday morning. So
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: that's when Hell We starts Sunday Friday morning, and you
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: only get roughly three or four hours of sleep if
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: I can recall throughout the entire week, wo Hire week,
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: and that first nap it's like a two hour nap
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: you get on Tuesday, right, Tuesday and Wednesday, and the
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: next one you get on Wednesay, Tuesday, Wednesday, and honestly,
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: you don't get to sleep. You can't sleep.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: One.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: If you're in a tent ten that's outside, it's still
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: doing the middle of working day. So you hear people
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: walking around going to work, you hear you know, cars
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: driving by you.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: You're not sleeping.
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: You're in your wealth, right, You're in your wedd uniform
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: and you want to cut the cot is not comfortable

  Speaker 6: right now, dead heat of the day, so you're not
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: sleeping for this tour. You're resting, but your body is
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: like trying to heal, so you're shaking. Your body is
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: just constantly shaking its form of than the state of
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: healing you can't control. So on Thursday we did medical checks.
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: On Thursday, we do medical checks where they got to
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: make sure you know, nothing's going to happen to you, right,
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: because there's a point of the training where it can
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: become a hazard. Now there there is a point to
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: that though it has to be that intense. Our training
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: has to be this intense. Sometimes you'll see politicians or
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: try to make our program somewhat easier, our selection program.
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: We're like na and you'll see a lot of Navy
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: seals who have power step up and say, no, we're
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: not making our selection program lighter, just because y'all fear
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: that people get hurt. You know, all this high as
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: this happens, and every so often, you know, if someone
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: made me lose their life.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: In our training pipeline.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: But again, when you're thinking about terror, terrorism around the world,
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: and I'm keeping America Safe, I would select your program
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: has to be this intense and it has to be
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: that hard, right for this, you volunteer. You want to
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: be that man, You want to be that silent professional.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: You want to have a stake in protecting people. You
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: got to know what you're dealing with. So yeah, on Thursday,
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: I'll have this pain. When the medical checks was checking
• 32:32

  Speaker 6: Yeah, when I come back, if I come back soon enough,
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: I'll still be in the sting with my class.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I passed.
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: I went to sleep, and I woke up the next
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: day and they came and picked me up. I'm in
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: a wheelchair, couldn't walk. My feet was so swollen. Every
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: my knees, every every joint in your body ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, face, neck, back,
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: completely huge, I mean huge.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, because your kidneys aren't functioning. It's like, yeah,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh. Yeah.
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: So I'm in a wheelchair rolling through the barracks. My
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: class is already secured from hell week.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: So I'm rolling through and.
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: I'm trying to push through, and I'm looking in the
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: doors and they put all the mattresses off the bunk
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: beds on the floor because you got to stay there
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: one night, and they don't want you falling off your bed.
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: And I'm looking at my guys and they're just shaking,
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: just uncontrollably. Just they're going through what I kind of
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: went through the night before. So we stayed there, you know,
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: throughout the weekend, medical checks and all that stuff. And
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: then money comes and talk to the instructors and they said,
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: because of what I did up to that point and
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: how I carried myself on the point, they allowed me
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: to stay with my class.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: So it's awesome.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: That's amazing.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah right there, Yeah.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: Big grace, big grace.
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: And then I eventually waited as the honograd of my class,
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: you know, so I graduated as the honor man of
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: my class.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: That's amazing, amazing, congratulations, that's awesome. What did you learn
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: in your time training that I feel like would be
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: your best advice for future people who want to do
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: the show, Like, how do you how do you get
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: how do you get through those struggles? How do you
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: get over those fears? How do you get past the
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: devil on your shoulder that's telling you you shouldn't be there?
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: Purpose? Purpose, Purpose is number one.
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: I found When I went through the program, I found
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: who who I am meant to be, and not only
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: the purpose of just being a seal, because being a
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: seal is one thing, but what does it really include, right,
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: helping others. That's how I summed it up. So my
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: purpose was really to give and be a servant to
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: other people, whether I'm going over in the Iraqis and
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: Syria to take out bad guys so families can walk
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: in their their markets and feel safe with their children
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: and not worry about something happening to them. So I
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: had my sense of purpose now and I knew now
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: that I can move forward and crush life because I
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: understood what I'm meant to do, which is serve other people.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: And if I kept that advice service to others, whether.
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: I'm giving you my advice, well, I'm giving you mentorship,
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: where I'm giving you physical fitness programs and training, helping
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: you in some kind of way to better your life.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: I felt, this is me who I meant to be,
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: And it was the hardest thing. Not the hardest thing,
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: It was the most inspiring thing for me to understanding
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: my purpose and doing that program, I understood who I'm
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: meant to be. And serve else is really what it
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: is and I and now that I'm out, you know,
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: I still do the same thing, you know, with my keynotes,
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: with my team building events, my leadership coaching events. I
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: do for corporations who want to know what it takes
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: to be a leader, a true leader. I understand, this
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: is this is me, this is who I'm supposed to be,
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: and even on the show for every bit of me,
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: so you can really have a true experience of what
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: it's like to go through in hopes of you'll see
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: that for yourself, how you can push through something and
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: maybe you'll find another purpose. Right Because a lot of
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: people come on the show, they are kind of past
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: their their MVP prime, like a Cam Newton, you know,
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: he's not the MVP and a NFL anymore, but he
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: may is looking for another step, another season of his life.
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: And we're hoping that when people find that, not saying
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: that he doesn't already have it, but we're helping.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: With no totally. So I think that's why we all
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: I would say there's a little bit of that sprinkled
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: into every single person who was there. I feel like
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: for me for sure, that was like one hundred percent.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: My kids are about to be into empty nesters. And
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I explained this in the mirror
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: room with you, but my kids are going to be
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: leaving me. And I've poured my life into my family
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: life and kind of being there, you know, the household
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: manager and their caretaker and everything else, and I kind
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: of wanted to get back to like who I am
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: and and find that purpose. So I feel like I
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: would I would honestly say I would guess one hundred
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: percent of us were there. That was a little bit
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: of our reason, you.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Know, Yeah, I would say as a oh, yeah, I
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: think that's got to be yes, yes, yes.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Right for every season. Yeah, yeah, I think everyone comes on.
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: That's that's the number one thing to trying to find
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: about who they are now since we're changing our season
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: of life, our profession, your your kids are growing up now,
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: they're about to leave the home.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: You know, there's about to be a whole new life
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: of you, your new season.
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: So we're trying to hope that we get people to
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: understand that this is the goal and nature of the
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: beast of it. And some people will say they'll leave
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: early because they feel they achieved that at some point,
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: but we want to see people like just challenge themselves
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: and push themselves and just see, hey man, you got
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: more in you, You got more in you, You got
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: more in you.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: You can go for everyone we've talked to.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Everyone we talked to has kind of echoed what Trista
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: said when she was first able to tell us where
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: she you know, what she was doing, because it was
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: it was a deadlock, secret man.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: I was trying to get it out of her.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: But it was really interesting to me because everybody has said,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: this isn't a competition show. You're competing with yourself. It's
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: all what's going on in here? And I mean, you
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: are made for this ce Like, honestly, God, watching it
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: at home, I know I could never do the things
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: that you have done in your life, just from a
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: physical perspective and a mental perspective. But it's like I
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: relate to you somehow and so and I feel like
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: I do with all the DS's, you know. I think
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: that was part of me being emotional, was like I
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, these guys they get it.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: They know you know, you guys seem to know what
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: we all think of you as well, Like we hold
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: you up here. But you also want us to know
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: that you're human beings and you're like relating to everybody
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: in the room. And I mean, it's it's remarkable because
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: I can imagine, you know, I've met Golden Tate and
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Cam Newton a few times in different settings. And but
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: you know, especially if you were a fan, let's say,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: of Cam or whatever, and now you have to break
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: them down. That can't be an easy role to be
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: in either.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't imagine.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, man. And I've known Cam, know
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: the person.
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: But you know, I've watched him when he came in
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: the league as a rookie, you know, so I just
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: playing his golden tape. You know, his team put my
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: team out of the playoffs many times when he played,
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: this team put me out of and I was like,
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: I couldn't stand the Seahawks for years, and I was like, yeah,
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: and he was on that team, he was playing, he
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: was doing.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: So no, you're you're right, and it's it's very hard.
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: And that is the thing what you said was, we
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: want people to still see us as we.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: Are, just knowing human beings as well.
• 42:29

  Speaker 2: Yep, exactly right, sureing the cauldron. Oh my gosh. Okay,
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: so I got this question from Marion and all of
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: us were thinking it. So I'm sure, but and you
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: hopefully you'll laugh at this and the way you know,
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: I feel like you have a pretty good sense of humor.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: I feel like all the ds have a pretty good
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: sense of humor, which is which I would love to know,
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: like be on the fly on the wall and see
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: what you guys actually talk about after the show. But okay,
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: so this is Marian's question, does he feel guilty? Honestly? Afterwards,
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: when swimming while perched on a swim noodle in the
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: pool challenge while some while some were nearly drowning while
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: splashing water on our faces.
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: Somebody, somebody would ask me that same question.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: Hysterical, Oh my gosh.
• 50:53
  Speaker 6: I was like, I got I need one, I need
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: the new but I had to pass it off to
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: somebody else if y'all are really drunk.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: So that's why I'm like sitting.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: So the purpose of the noodle was so you could
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: save some people. No, I'm just kidding.
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: Partly so I can say that people I need to
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: be well rested, need to be well.
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: Feel if it need be then I'll pass it all,
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: but for the most part, it's for my for my comfort.
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: He's already gone through this, I know, I know.
• 51:27
  Speaker 6: The beehive in buzzs, behiving buzzs. We're in this gignomous
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: pool and your class.
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: Is pretty pretty still big.
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: You got about one hundred people still in your class.
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: I can't remember if we were all hundred in there
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: or it was like fifty. And they got one instructor
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: in the center on a on a noodle and you
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: got that four or five instructures swimming around smashing everybody together.
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a big group of us, and it creates panic.
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: It creates that fear, It creates that that feeling fear,
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: fearing other, that fear of death right because you're choking,
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: you don't know if you're going to survive. People panted
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: like crazy. So that's that's the scenario of what it's
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: really like. It's no joke. The beehive is now joke
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: at all. But that was good question.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I loved that question. I was like, Mary, and
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: you're on it. And during Beehive in your training, did
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: they have scuba divers like underneath in case people drown,
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: because they did for.
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: Us, No, no, I don't recall that.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, no, yeah, I mean that's the swimmers.
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: That's why we had more instructors swimming around like what
• 52:39
  Speaker 6: we did it. For us, it was just Rudy. And
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: then you have Billy and Foxy on the top because
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: they can really see and their idea not their idea,
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: they're also job for Billy and Foxy was to identify
• 52:49
  Speaker 6: who was really struggling and then get Rudy to go
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: over and try to help them.
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: But we didn't.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because Rudy was in the water, true, right, Okay,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: and then Golden asked, ask who voted him to be
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: the Hammer and the punisher.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Too?
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: The other the ds did? They said they did? They did?
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: They said, uh, based off because I'm the Seal, right,
• 53:17
  Speaker 6: the Seal is like a big title everyone knows. And
• 53:19
  Speaker 6: I was like, oh, yeah, you know this is my
• 53:21
  Speaker 6: this is my thing, right, I'm all this this is
• 53:23
  Speaker 6: my second nature, my second home.
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: I'm all I'm comfortable here.
• 53:26
  Speaker 6: So yeah, I love that part of it. So this
• 53:30
  Speaker 6: is this is probably who I'm going to be from
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: then on.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: That's well, and that leads me to my next question,
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: which is and maybe we'll end on this unless you
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: have anything, Bob. But Christy asked, ask him, after being
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: as accomplished as he is, first Black Buds graduate to
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: graduate top of his class, what goals do you have
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: for your future?
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Mmmm?
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: Good, serious question, Good, serious question, Christy. That's that's there's
• 53:59
  Speaker 6: a lot that I want to want to be accomplished. Right,
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: We kind of talked a little bit about it, right.
• 54:03
  Speaker 6: I want to, as I said, I want to be
• 54:04
  Speaker 6: a beast until the day I die, not just physically.
• 54:07
  Speaker 6: I want to impact millions of lives through my keynotes.
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: Through my book that I'm writing. And that book is
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: called why Not The Reason I Call Me? So it's
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: like when you grab.
• 54:18
  Speaker 6: My book and you read the title of it, it's
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: going to make you ask yourself already, why not me?
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: Why not you be? You know on the Bachelorette?
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: You know, why not you be the Navy seal, the
• 54:29
  Speaker 6: doctor or the pilot or whatever top you know, profession
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: that it is that you want to be Because I
• 54:35
  Speaker 6: think everyone has the ability to get there. Now, everyone
• 54:38
  Speaker 6: comes from a different background, so it's gonna be a
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: little harder for those someming than others.
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: Right, But.
• 54:43
  Speaker 6: People to understand and know that you have the ability
• 54:47
  Speaker 6: to change your circumstance is the key thing that I
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: really want to push. I want to be the lead
• 54:52
  Speaker 6: dog on that thing, and I hope to God, right,
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: I pray a lot that I can be that catalyst
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: to get maybe suicideally right, Yeah, that was one accolade
• 55:02
  Speaker 6: of my life. Then graduating talking my class. But what
• 55:05
  Speaker 6: I do after that, I've got my bachelor's degree, right,
• 55:07
  Speaker 6: I started learning how to do public speaking.
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: I've been a personally trainer, so all these.
• 55:12
  Speaker 6: Things lead into go from the Steel teams taught me
• 55:15
  Speaker 6: many things about how I can achieve these things, but
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: now I got.
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: To take that with it at the same time.
• 55:20
  Speaker 6: So my life is really geared to that service thing
• 55:23
  Speaker 6: that I want to be able to say I served
• 55:26
  Speaker 6: millions of people. So when I'm done on this earth,
• 55:28
  Speaker 6: my time is done, I really hope to have impacted
• 55:30
  Speaker 6: millions of people.
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: That's my goal.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: That's amazing, and you can do it every week right now,
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that.
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, you're impacting people like me
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: who never ever ever would have thought that they would
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: be part of this show. I mean when they first
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: asked me, I was like, hell, no, don't you want
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: my husband? And then, you know, and then thought more
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: about it and thought that I that I could actually
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: really challenge myself and get back to who I was
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: before my family, you know, not taking away from that,
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: because it really is my greatest joy in my life,
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: but I just wanted to challenge myself and make my
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: kids proud, make my husband proud, make myself proud. And
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: so you you definitely affected one in a positive way.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: Even though you're yelling like crazy at me when I
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: was running to the jeep. Yeah, in that laugh, but
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: you weren't. You weren't saying anything that I wasn't already

• 56:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of us are going through. You know, you're
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: saying exactly what we're thinking. And when you said it,
• 56:47

• 56:51
  Speaker 2: You know, he's saying all these things.
• 56:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's the nature of that whole thing, to
