Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks Jake, Thank you for having me.

00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 4: Of course, Now, last time America was checking in with you, right,

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 4: this is right after your Bachelor season of course, and

14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 4: then of course the Dancing of the Stars time frame.

15
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 4: You were a pilot, right and you were flying it

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 4: was south last Southwest?

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 5: Why do I think? But I thought it was Delta

18
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 5: who were No?

19
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 3: Actually so so I was flying at the time with

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: a with a regional airline that was wholly owned by Delta,

21
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: so we kind of inclue Delta Colors, but it was

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: a subsidiary of Delta.

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 5: That's what I thought. Okay, So, yeah, you were flying

24
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 5: for Delta.

25
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 4: I mean that was your career, right, you were in

26
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 4: your career path already as actually yeah, and then you

27
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 4: just shifted gears. Tell us about it.

28
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: You know, Bob, honestly, I have not talked about this

29
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: with anybody. Uh, you know what I what I've been doing,

30
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: and so you know, as a as a kid, I've

31
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 3: always been I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit, love love business.

32
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 4: You know.

33
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 3: It's so I was flying, flying with the airline, and

34
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 3: you know, one day, I just I was thinking about

35
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 3: what Sully Sullenberger, you know, did you know miracle on

36
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: the Hudson when he landed that airbus in the water,

37
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: and the scrutiny that he was under. You know, I

38
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: was just thinking about that going you know what, this

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: this doesn't pay enough money, you know, for the amount

40
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: of risk, because he could have very easily gone to

41
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: jail for what he did answer to Congress. That's scary. Yeah,

42
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: And I'm just you know, hey, look, I don't think

43
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: what you're paying me is worth the amount of risk

44
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: that I'm taking moving people around the country at five

45
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: hundred miles an hour, you know, at thirty five thousand feet.

46
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: So see, yeah, I was out, wow, And so you know,

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: I was looking for something to do, and I always

48
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: you know, I bought, ran, sold, bankrupt you name it

49
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: a bunch of small little businesses, you know. But I

50
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 3: was looking for something that the average person didn't want

51
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: to do. And there are a couple of industries. Like

52
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 3: most people don't want to work on toilets and be

53
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: a plumber industry. I can tell you most people don't

54
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: want to want to climb on a roof in the

55
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: summertime and work on HVAC systems. They just don't want

56
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 3: to do it. They would rather work on creating games

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: or building soft for something like that. That sounds sexy. Well,

58
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: I to tell you this stuff from a millionaire is

59
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 3: to go open up an HVAC company. If you want

60
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 3: to be a millionaire, quickly, go open up an HVAC company.

61
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 5: I just read an article about that the other day.

62
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 4: They said that new that's the new thing that people

63
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 4: are going into and they're able to scale it really quickly.

64
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: They are. I don't know anything about HVAC systems. You

65
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: have to be licensed. So what I did here in

66
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 3: Dallas is I started looking at the waist tauling industry

67
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: and it is nothing. It is what it sounds like.

68
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: I bought a truck in twenty seventeen. I crewed it

69
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: and I started started selling waste contracts in what they

70
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: call open market areas. So if you're just outside of

71
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: the city, you know, like your cable, your phone and everything,

72
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: you have to contract with the third party because the

73
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: city's not providing it. And so I started selling subscription

74
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: trash contracts and it started working. I quickly realized that

75
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: the solid waste industry, is the garbage industry, was fifteen

76
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: twenty years behind on technology. So I started looking for

77
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: technologies that I could inject and bolt onto my business

78
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: to make it more efficient. And so I raised a

79
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 3: bunch of private equity money, uh several several million dollars,

80
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 3: and we launched here in Dallas and twenty seventeen. And

81
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: we scaled that company for six years, and in January

82
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: of this year, a publicly traded company came in and

83
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: bought us. It was just an incredible journey.

84
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 5: That's awesome.

85
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: So I've been a garbage man for six years.

86
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 5: That's amazing.

87
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: Man.

88
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 4: You know, it's so funny whenever I think of like

89
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 4: waste management and this is such a disservice I'm sure

90
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 4: to that entire industry, but I think of the sopranos, right,

91
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 4: like I'm always like, oh, yeah, yeah, you know that's.

92
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been on your door.

93
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly.

94
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 4: But you know, good for you, man, Good for you

95
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 4: to like like just sort of completely reboot and start

96
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 4: your whole life over after I mean an incredible first chapter, right.

97
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 4: I mean a lot of people grow up wanting to

98
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 4: be a pilot and that would be and you did

99
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: that and then you know, television success and all that

100
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 4: other good stuff, and then you just were like, you

101
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 4: know what, I'm gonna scrap this and start fresh. I

102
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 4: think that's pretty remarkable.

103
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: I need to walk the garbage truck and throw trash.

104
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, amazing. So are you still involved since you sold

105
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: the company?

106
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 3: I helped out for about the first six months, but

107
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: you know, we set up a really good company where

108
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: you know, it transitioned into a much larger companies platform.

109
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: So organically, my deal was, I would, you know, I'd

110
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 3: remain available for a year whatever they needed, you know,

111
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: solidifying contracts, going out and selling for them. And they

112
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 3: just said, you know, you've you're you're leaving your company

113
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: in great hands, all of your you know, we had

114
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: about one hundred employees. They all got jobs. Let me

115
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 3: tell you one of the coolest things that I've ever

116
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 3: gotten to do in my entire life. When we sold

117
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: the company, probably tear up talking about this because it

118
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: was so meaningful to me. We sold the company. The

119
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: buyer came in very rapidly, uh, you know, wanting to

120
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 3: make a deal. When they made the offer, I didn't

121
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 3: think they were going to close, you know, I thought,

122
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 3: this is more zero than I've ever seen in my life.

123
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 3: And we had about one hundred employees and we were

124
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: able to share that profit with everybody from the top,

125
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: very meaningful thank you bonuses on the very last day

126
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: and getting to hand people those checks and everything was

127
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: that was the coolest thing. The people that helped me,

128
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: they're they're smarter, Yeah, you know, I mean, it was

129
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 3: just such an incredible way to say I can't tell

130
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 3: you how much I appreciate. Let me show you I

131
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: loved that you.

132
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 5: Paid it forward, buddy, That's the dream.

133
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: Right calls. You know they've they've they're they're still working

134
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: for the buyer, or you know, they've they've moved on

135
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 3: to other companies around the United States that are doing

136
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: the same thing. And I get text messages all the time, Hey,

137
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: when are we starting up again?

138
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: That's so cool.

139
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: I feel like that would be I've always thought about,

140
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: you know, you play that game. If I win the lottery,

141
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: what would I do with the money? And gosh, I

142
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: would love to do that. That was actually a really

143
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: cool part of Bachelorette for me and the wedding is

144
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: being able. I know they made it like dramatic on

145
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: the show, but being able to just kind of give

146
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: that to like fly all my friends and family over

147
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: to this island for the Bachelor Bachelorette party and then

148
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: over to Palm Springs and like take over an entire resort.

149
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: Like it's just so much fun to share that with

150
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: the people that you know, you've worked hard with and

151
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: that you love.

152
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: So good for.

153
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: You, true, thank you, That is true, trist I mean,

154
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 4: I think that's that's one of the nicest things that

155
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 4: I mean, Jake, I love that you said that because

156
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 4: I think about my experience. Obviously it wasn't you know,

157
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 4: I didn't have the wedding and all that like you did, Trista.

158
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 4: But I think about all my friends that I brought

159
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 4: along for the ride with me, and how much fun

160
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 4: that was for all of us to share in those

161
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 4: moments and to be able to look back on well

162
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 4: and the friendships. You know, that's one thing that I

163
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 4: think people don't realize.

164
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 5: They hear about, you.

165
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 4: Know, everyone going on the show the Bachelor and the

166
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: Bachelrett and all that, and they think, oh, these people,

167
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 4: you know, it becomes this incestuous community or whatever it

168
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 4: actually becomes. You really do make some genuine friendships out

169
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 4: of it. I mean, Tristan and I've been friends for

170
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 4: over twenty years. It's crazy, yeah, you know.

171
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 5: And and Jake, I mean, man, you and.

172
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 4: I've been buddies for a very long time too, you know,

173
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 4: since since your season of the Bachelor. So you know,

174
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 4: a lot of those friendships you would never have had

175
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 4: without having gone through this experience, and to pay it

176
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: forward to others like you did with your business is

177
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 4: pretty amazing too.

178
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 5: I mean, that's just one of those things.

179
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 4: Where it's it's always about the people you come in

180
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 4: contact with, right, and how you can spread that love.

181

00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: they didn't watch the show.

225
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,920

Speaker 4: That jan didn't watch Danya didn't watch the show either,

227
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 4: so you know she's watched it.

228
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 5: But she was you know, she was a This is

229
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 5: a little embarrassing, Jesus.

230
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 4: She was you know, she was in preschool, so why

231
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 4: would she have watched the show. She was a senior

232
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 4: in high school for the record, so I mean she

233
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 4: was still in diapers. I mean, yeah, she watched it,

234
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 4: but she doesn't retain that. You know, God say, people.

235
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 5: So good.

236
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 4: It's actually kind of fun, probably for her because I

237
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 4: know Kenyon actually finds it to be a lot of fun,

238
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 4: Like we'll be out and people will you know, recognize

239
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 4: me from the show or whatever. And she's always like, like,

240
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,200

248
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 4: to like anyone, you know, just like, oh, buddy, you know, so.

249
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 3: That is you, buddy, I've seen eighteen years later, people

Speaker 3: us from the show.

252
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: That is oh believing that's something actually. So this morning

00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: I took Blakesley to.

254
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 2: A physical therapy appointment and the lady who was checking

255
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: us in, she was like, okay, what's your name, and

256
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: you know, I told her my name and then she's like, oh, that.

257
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Seems to be a very well known name.

258
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: And she's like, you know, like she's in a medical facility,

259
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: so she probably is like I probably shouldn't say this,

260
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: but I'm going to anyway, and Blake, you know, blake

303
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 4: were out, you know, out selling subscriptions for your company,

304
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 4: Like you would you roll up to a door and

305
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 4: they'd be like, why is the bachelor here selling me

306
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 4: a garbage pickup?

307
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: You know that's a good question. So the way that

308
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: I was able to leverage this and Chris, this is

309
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 3: the best advice you and I talked about it the

310
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 3: other day. The best advice Chris Harrison gave me. He said, Hey,

311
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: after the show, things change for quite some time, you know,

312
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 3: dega and don't quit your day job. Let this enhance

313
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 3: what you're already doing. Yeah, when I hear of somebody

314
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: going on the show and they change their profession to

315
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 3: go into entertainment, you know, it's just like, oh yeah,

316
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 3: every time, Yeah do that. Anyway, although I.

317
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: Did a little bit of that. I mean I was

318
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: a physical therapist. But it was hard for me because

319
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: you know, I asked for a second leave of absence

320
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: to go shoot Bachelorette, and when my boss didn't give

321
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: it to me, I moved out to California. And then

322
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: after the show, I was like, I don't know that

323
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: I can actually pass that exam again because it's been

324
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: you know, a couple years or a year or whatever,

325
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: and I would have had to take my licensure exam

326
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: again and I don't know if I would have passed it.

327
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: So I was like, I love the energy like I

328
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: had never been around. I had been around you know,

329
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: the professional sports stuff and you know, dancing that way,

330
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: but the energy of production and just all of the producers,

331
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: the crew, the cameraman, the audio people like I felt

332
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: I loved that energy and that's why I kind of

333
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: changed gears and went towards like hosting and everything. But

334
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 2: then when I met Ryan, I was like, Okay, bye, everybody,

335
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 2: I'm just going to focus on my relationship.

336
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, yeah, to that end, I did a ton

337
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 5: of hosting. I mean, I still do.

338
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, But I was fortunate, like what you said, Trista,

339
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 4: I didn't have to choose one or the other. Like

340
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 4: I wasn't put in that spot. So I was able

341
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 4: to kind of keep my big gig in finance and

342
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 4: insurance and things like that because the company supported me,

343
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 4: you know, and I but I also did my best

344
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 4: not to make it a conflict.

345
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

346
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 4: Like I would when I was offered something, I go

347
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 4: to my people I was working with and be like, Okay,

348
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 4: if I take this period of time off to do this,

349
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 4: are you cool with that?

350
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 5: They'd be like, of course, you know.

351
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 4: They didn't want it to get in the way because

352
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 4: they knew it would probably be helpful.

353
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 5: For what I did as well. So I mean, you know,

354
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 5: from that perspective, I mean, but Jake, you went right

355
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 5: back to flying right.

356
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 3: I did, Yeah, because you know, a huge passion of mine.

357
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna answer your first question. So where

358
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 3: I really leveraged the power of being on the show

359
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 3: is when we started approaching cities for city contracts, and

360
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: then I would stand in address council, you know, mayor,

361
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 3: and and then and then and then the entire council.

362
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 3: Somebody typically would say, hey, I know now I know

363
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: where I know you've.

364
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, how did that guy from that thing?

365
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that's that's that's honestly, where it really helped

366
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 3: was when I was addressing cities, and then there was

367
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 3: kind of that familiarity. They're like, well, we kind of

368
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 3: already know you. I'm like, yeah, you do. You should

369
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 3: give me your trash con track. Looking to your point,

370
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: you know, the dynamics of the show have changed so

371
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 3: dramatically with you know, the all the shift in streaming platforms.

372
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 3: Like when you were on the show, I think Mike

373
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 3: Fleiss told me you had maybe thirty two million watching

374
00:18:58,760 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: your shows.

375
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: One million million.

376
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know. I was on a couple of years

377
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 3: later and they were even you know, there were even

378
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 3: more more options.

379
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: You know.

380
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 3: Now I think that the show they're lucky if they

381
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 3: get three to five million.

382
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 4: Yeah right, yeah, tons more engagement online and stuff than

383
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 4: we ever had, right because we didn't.

384
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 5: Even have to have it.

385
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. I just you're right, it's it's shifted completely.

386
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, familiar to you know, thirty one million

387
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 3: people you know, watched your finale and did that journey

388
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 3: with you. So being able to transition into a host

389
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 3: role was probably very comfortable for you know, America to

390
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: to to accepts like, hey, we we love Trista, we

391
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 3: love you, Bob, you know, we want to see more

392
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 3: of you. And so it was really easy for platforms

393
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: to go, okay, this makes sense.

394
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, for sure, Yeah it was. It was easy,

395
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 4: and it was a nice transition too. Like Trista said,

396
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 4: is such a fun energy and such a fun and

397
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 4: viron that why wouldn't you when given the opportunity, I

398
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 4: would say, you know, absolutely take it, you know, because

399
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 4: it's so much fun and what a great learning experience.

400
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 4: And I mean, Jake, you did some acting too. I

401
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 4: mean you did a couple of soaps. I remember you

402
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 4: did some stuff.

403
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: That's right, Holden the Beautiful arm.

404
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 3: I played a pilot.

405
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 5: I had to be a stretch. I had to be

406
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 5: a stretch for you. You're like this character.

407
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how to do this.

408
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: It pays more to play a pilot than to be

409
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 3: a pilot.

410
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's probably. I know, that's got to be true.

411
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wish they would hire Ryan to be a

412
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 2: firefighter on a soap because there you go.

413
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, you could definitely do it, man, you can definitely

414
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 4: do it.

415
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 3: I cannot believe this many years I've not I've not

416
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 3: bumped into you and Ryan.

417
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: You haven't met Ryan ever.

418
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 5: Such a great guy.

419
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: Man.

420
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 5: You would love him, Jake, you would absolutely love him.

421
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Yeah, he's good, peeps, he is, right.

422
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we just moved to Denver like last year at

423
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 2: the start of the school year, from Vale. We lived

424
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: in Vail for twenty years, but Brian has been working

425
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: for Denver Fire for I think four years now, and

426
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 2: he was commuting for three years two hours, which is.

427
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 1: Like, you know a lot.

428
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, we did that, and then, you know, for

429
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 2: a variate of other reasons, we made the move.

430
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,000

Speaker 3: of mine who's who's built a nice little five million

447
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: dollar company called me and said, hey, I want would

448
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,960

Speaker 5: You know what, dude, can I tell you something?

493
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 4: So I was I was pretty much set that I

00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 4: was going to remain you know, I got married and divorce.

495
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, I think I'm done. And then

496
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 4: I met Kenyon and I was like, I want to

497
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 4: have a family with this person.

498
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 5: Like that was that was really what drove things for me.

499
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 4: Was it was it was still fun, and it was

500
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 4: still you know whatever, but it was like, oh my god,

501
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 4: she'd be such an amazing mom, and I feel like

502
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 4: I would just be so you know, I just felt

503
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 4: like it would be such a complimentary relationship to be

504
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 4: a parent with her and be able to share that

505
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 4: with her, and and it was, you know, so far,

506
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 4: so good.

507
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 5: I'll put it that way. So you know, we feel

508
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 5: really blessed to have what we have.

509
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, if we get engaged, I've been thinking about you know,

510
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 3: it's like, golly, do I do I keep it really

511
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 3: really really quiet? Do I just tell a couple of

512
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 3: people because it's gonna I think it'll get out there.

513
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 3: I don't know why anybody would care anymore, but I

514
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 3: have a feeling it would get out there. What do

515
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 3: I do? You know, how do I be respectful of her.

516
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 3: What are her thoughts on it? Yeah, I mean, do

517
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 3: you think that would get pick up buddy?

518
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 5: There's no way to keep a lid on it. I

519
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 5: mean at the end of the day, you know, if.

520
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 4: You tell anybody, if you put it on social media,

521
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 4: which you know that's what Kenyon and I did when

522
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 4: we got engaged. Is she's very of that of that mindset,

523
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 4: so she like posted a picture of her ring and everything.

524
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 5: The next thing, you know, it's like, you know, then

525
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 5: it just unfolds.

526
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 4: But I think people, you know, I think you've you know,

527
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 4: the fact that you feel like it might not is

528
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 4: a great reason why it probably would, you know what

529
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 4: I mean, because you're not.

530
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: You just never know. I mean I said, who knows?

531
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 2: Because I feel like most of the time, people don't

532
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: really care about what's going on in our lives. I

533
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: mean they care, but they don't care, like they're like,

534
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: uh whatever, they're old.

535
00:25:58,680 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: News or whatever.

536
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 2: And then like, you know, something happened recently or this

537
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: year where people were like.

538
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, is she dead or did they get

539
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: a divorce or whatever, So.

540
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: You never know what they're actually going to like pick

541
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: up on and care about.

542
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 4: You know.

543
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, so true, Yeah, so true.

544
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 4: But you know what, at the end of the day,

545
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 4: as long as you're happy, then that's all that matters.

546
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 5: And it will radiate to all the right people.

547
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: That's true.

548
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 4: That's right, And I will tell you this, Jake. A

Speaker 5: I mean, that's something.

580
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 2: It's crazy and it's funny because gosh, years ago, one

581
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: of Ryan's firefiver buddies did the same thing because they

582
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 2: can have side jobs because they you know, they're flexible

583
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: schedule when they're not working. And Ryan was like, I

584
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: want to go buy a tow truck, Like he wanted

585
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 2: to start like a tow truck business. So maybe that's

586
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 2: something in the future, am I will say. Thinking about

587
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 2: colleges for the kids. I was sitting next to one

588
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 2: of Max's teammate hockey teammates' parents and talking to her

589
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: about her son, he's a senior this year and she's

590
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: I said, so, what is he thinking he wants to do?

591
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 2: And she was like, well, we don't really push college

592
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: in our family, Like whatever he wants to do and

593
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: or maybe take over the business. And her husband has

594
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: a like plumbing business, Like he was just saying plumbing,

595
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: I think an age back and he in like seven

596
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: different states.

597
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: Or something, and so it's like, gosh, you don't have to.

598
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: I mean, please, it's not like we're going to tell

599
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: our kids don't go to college. But because I do

600
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: feel like the education and the experience of college is

601
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: so valuable. But yes, it really kind of opened my

602
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 2: eyes to being like, you know what, whatever they want

603
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 2: to do, I want to be supportive of.

604
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, I agree with you. And the trades

605
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 5: are big too.

606
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, the trades of like being a

607
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 4: plumber or being an hvac or being you know, someone

608
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 4: who's skilled in those crafts. That stuff's never going to

609
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 4: go away. And so at the end of the day,

610
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 4: I agree with you. I mean, there's so much, there's

611
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 4: so much out.

612
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 5: There, and you know, I mean, you know, yeah, I

613
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:45,200

Speaker 4: I'm like, you got this is of course I paid him,

629
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 4: but the point was I was just like, you know,

630
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 4: I didn't think they made kids like this anymore. And

631
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 4: I asked him, I'm like, you know, what year are

632
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 4: you And he's like, well, I should be technically a

Speaker 4: freshman in college, but I chose not to go to college.

634
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 4: And he's like, right now I want he goes. I know,

635
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 4: I want to be a teacher, but I think I

636
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 4: want to teach English internationally. And so he's like, I'm

637
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 4: going to go to a junior college here in town.

638
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 4: I decided just recently I'm going to do this, and

639
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 4: you know, in the next year, I'm gonna, you know,

640
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do my degree, and then over the next

641
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 4: two years and then I'm gonna and I'm like, good

642
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 4: for you man, I mean totally outside of the box

643
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 4: of how everyone thinks.

644
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 5: And he's getting real world experience and his.

645
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 4: Real he has a real job right now, and but

646
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 4: he's been doing the Christmas tree light stuff to save

647
00:30:58,760 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 4: extra money for college.

648
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 5: And yeah, and then he was like, you don't have

649
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 5: to pay me. I'm like, no, dude, I will be

650

Speaker 5: paying you.

651
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,160

652
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 4: get to college, buddy. College is expensive. So but yeah,

653
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,840

654
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 4: it's pretty remarkable.

655
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:13,400
