It's a way 22 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 2: for me to completely separate work from life, and in 23 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 2: my line of work and the mental capacity it takes 24 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: to do what we do. For me that complete separation 25 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 2: is exactly what I needed. So San Diego is my 26 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 2: safe place. And then when I go to work, I 27 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 2: do my work at Oakland. 28 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: Are you Are you like on one day off too? 29 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: Do you have the that schedule or is it different? 30 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, so every department varies.

But supercommuters like myself, we'll stack 34 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 2: our shifts like we'll trade. So I'll work my regular 35 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: two days and then work someone else's two days, and 36 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 2: then I get eight days off consecutively. 37 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: Got it?

What people don't 128 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: know about me was I was a ranch kid before 129 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: I became a firefighter. I had my own ranching business. 130 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: I managed cattle ranches, I had two horses of my own. 131 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 2: I taught little kids horseback riding lessons, I trained horses, 132 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: had a major barb wire fencing company, and all I 133 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: knew was blue collar work. You know, when my friends 134 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 2: were out partying and going to high school things, I 135 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 2: was working at the ranch till dark and get my 136 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 2: homework done on the weekdays to go straight to the 137 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 2: ranch and work till dark. And that upbringing, you know, 138 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 2: brought me to the man I am today and taught 139 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: me some morals and values that are invaluable. And you know, 140 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: as I've become to be this like thirty four year 141 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: old man with this bushy beard, I've become picky because 142 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 2: I've worked really hard to get to where I am. 143 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 2: I feel like I'm financially stable. I've got a great career, 144 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 2: and I love my family. I'm super tight with them. 145 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: I've got a great friend group, and you know, the 146 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: last thing I want is to bring my partner into 147 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: something where they're not going to add to that. And 148 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 2: you know, that's become harder and harder as I get older, 149 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: is to find a partner that I that I truly 150 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 2: think adds to my family and adds to my friend 151 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: group and adds to me as much as I add 152 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 2: to their family, their friend group and them. And so yeah, 153 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: that's why I'm single going into the bat That's why 154 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 2: I was single going into the Bachelorette, And that's why 155 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 2: I was single going into Bachelor in Paradise.

Well enough Braiden and I for those 192 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: vocabulary freaks out there, But yeah, I've owned boats my 193 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 2: whole life. I've been around ski boats. My family has 194 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 2: a ski boat, and my dream since I was a 195 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 2: kid was to own my own boat. My grandfather used 196 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: to take me fishing to Alaska every year. That was 197 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 2: the path to manhood in his eyes, in our family. 198 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 2: And you know, for ten straight years I'd go to 199 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 2: Alaska with him, Craig Alaska, to this lodge called King 200 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: Fisher Lodge, and we literally fish for a week off 201 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: the grid with a guy who built this lodge on 202 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: his property, and it was a dream of mine doing 203 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: a fishing boat. And I love the ocean. There's one 204 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: thing anyone needs to know about me. I love the ocean. 205 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 2: It's the most humbling thing nature can throw at you. 206 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 2: And there's nothing more than I want than to either 207 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: surf or be on top of the water. And so 208 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 2: after you know, thirty four years, finally I get the 209 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 2: money to buy this boat. I am stoked by the 210 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: way about buying this boat. Talking to this guy, Braiden 211 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 2: and I are going surfing in Orange County and I'm like, 212 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 2: you know what, Braiden, I've been texting this guy on 213 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: Craiglist about this boat. You want to go look at 214 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 2: it with me? It'sim Fullerton. He's like, oh man, yeah, 215 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 2: let's let's go look at it. Anytime you make a 216 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: stupid decision, ninety percent of the time that stupid decision 217 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: is pushed on you by a friend, right, Or you're 218 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 2: going to make that decision because a friend is with you. Yeah, 219 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 2: when you're by yourself, you're probably gonna walk away, just 220 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: like a car when you go buy a new car. 221 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: I think, do you think you would have walked away 222 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: if Braiden was like, nah, bro, I'm out, I can't 223 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: do it. 224 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 2: Hell no, I'm not putting that on Braidon. Braid didn't 225 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 2: buy this boat. But he's like my hype man, so 226 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 2: of course it'll be like yeah, fuck yut, let's get 227 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 2: this boat. We see it. This thing is beautiful. Pay 228 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: for a whole inspection guy charges me five hundred bucks inspecs. 229 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 2: The boat sends me a ten page report. All systems, ago, 230 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: whole engine, bait tank, Everything on this boat is right perfect, 231 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 2: ready to go. I bring it home. I start noticing 232 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 2: little things on it that aren't working. The trailer's broken. 233 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: I fix the trailer. The stabilizer flaps break the first 234 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: time I take it out. I call a mechanic. I 235 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 2: get that fixed. And these are all little orange flags 236 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: right that start adding up. But in your stokedness, you 237 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: kind of overlook some of those orange flags and you go, well, 238 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: you know what, like I fix these things. You know 239 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 2: now that this is fixed, then nothing else is going 240 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 2: to break. Mind you, this boat is all It's from 241 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 2: the seventies, and the gentleman who I bought it from 242 00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 2: it told me that he had redone it in his driveway. 243 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 2: Fiberglass gel coat and stringers. Stringers are the backbone of 244 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: a boat. Those are the ones that run down the spine. 245 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 2: There's usually two of them that run down the spine 246 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: of a boat, down the hole. And so, yeah, this 247 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 2: is the crazy. If I would have brought this is 248 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: the thing that kills me. If I would have brought 249 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 2: my dad on this boat, I would have killed him 250 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: that day. And so I joke around with these guys 251 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 2: and I say, like, this was bound to happen. This 252 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 2: boat was going to sink at some point, and I 253 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 2: am so thankful that I sunk it with Braiden, my 254 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 2: buddy Gavin, who's another firefighter, Braiden's dad, and Braiden's uncle. 255 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 2: If I would have sunk it with anyone else, anyone 256 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 2: else on this planet, one of us would not have 257 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 2: come home. Okay is that crazy? Oh? 258 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: Okay, So how far out are you and how does 259 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: it sake? 260 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is crazy. We're seventeen miles off shore, 261 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 2: which you might as well take a spaceship to Pluto. 262 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 2: There's no one out there. It's just us and everything's 263 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 2: going fine. Man, we're having fun. We're being guys. We're 264 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 2: peeing off the boat, jumping off the swim deck for 265 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 2: people that fish or don't know how to fish. When 266 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: you're going for dorado or tuna, yellow tel tuna or 267 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 2: yellowfin tuna, you're looking for boilers in the water. So 268 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 2: we get to a certain GPS waypoint, which is seventeen 269 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 2: miles off shore. Everything's fine, and you're looking for kel 270 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 2: patties or a bunch of boils in the water, and 271 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: so we find Akelt Patty. We stop throwing throwing bait. 272 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 2: At this point, I realized no one on the boat 273 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 2: knows how to fish. So now I am a charter captain. 274 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: My name is Aarones. I'm the charter guy. I'm here 275 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 2: to make sure everyone's having a good time. So I'm 276 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: baiting everyone's lines for them. We're throwing them to the 277 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 2: kelt patties. First, kel Patty's empty. We're about three hours 278 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 2: into this journey. Three and a half hours go by. 279 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 2: We're at the second CLT Patty. Same thing, no fish bait, 280 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 2: everyone's line for them. We reel up the lines. I 281 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 2: looked at the ocean report. It said the wind was 282 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: going to pick up at eleven. So I told the 283 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: guy's next kel patty or boiler spot that we find 284 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 2: like we're out of here. We're gonna fish it for 285 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 2: a little bit. We're gonna turn around and bounce. We 286 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 2: were lucky the sea was super calm that day. There 287 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 2: was a wind swell, but the ocean's gonna have swell 288 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 2: no matter what day you're there. And so the boats 289 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: off were drifting next to the third kelt. Patty and 290 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 2: my buddy hooks onto a dorado. Everyone goes to the 291 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 2: front of the boat. My buddy lets the line go 292 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 2: under the boat and then the fish runs around the prop. 293 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 2: The boat's off. It's not a big deal. Why you 294 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 2: have an outboard motor on a boat so you could 295 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 2: bring the prop up if you get stuck in kelp 296 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 2: or if a line gets crossed, you can lift the 297 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 2: prop up off the back of the boat on tangle line, 298 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 2: dropped the prop back down. You're good to go. Mind 299 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 2: you this. I'm going to tell you this. But before 300 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 2: I tell you this, three of the guys on that 301 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 2: boat had stepped on the back of the swim deck 302 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 2: while the boat was off. Prior to this event happening. 303 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 2: All the guys on the front of the boat, Gavin 304 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 2: has his line. I'd tell Gavin my buddy, Gavin, I said, 305 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: let your line out. Everything's fine. I'm gonna lift the 306 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 2: prop up, untangle your line. You're gonna real this fishion. 307 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 2: Then we're gonna head home. Prop comes up, Gavin lets 308 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: his line out. All systems a go until I step 309 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 2: on the swim deck. The moment I step on the 310 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 2: swim deck, the boat is completely underwater. In fifteen seconds gone. 311 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: We don't have time to radio, we don't have time 312 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: to get our phones, we don't have time for anything. 313 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: And it is so unlike me to give a safety 314 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: briefing for any of the activities that I do. That's 315 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 2: just my nature. But I, for some weird reason, I 316 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: had given them a safety briefing before they got on 317 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 2: the boat. I showed them exactly where we were going, 318 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 2: so some of them had texted their wives or family, like, hey, 319 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 2: we're going out to this point. I showed them where 320 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: the life jackets were, every little safety piece of that boat, 321 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 2: where the radio was. It was on channel sixteen for 322 00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 2: the Coastguard. And luckily, Branden's dad, who won MVP of 323 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 2: that entire experience, was listening to this absolutely abysmal safety 324 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 2: briefing that I'd given the guys and remembered where the 325 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: life jackets were, so he dove down and opened up 326 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 2: the hatch. And really, those life jackets are what saved us, 327 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 2: because all of a sudden you have, let me put 328 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 2: this into perspective, you are having the time of your 329 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: life with your closest friends, sharing an experience together that 330 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: none of us really get. One moment. You're having that experience. 331 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 2: In the next moment, Dude, you're floating in the deep 332 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 2: blue three hundred feet I mean we're in. 333 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: The treading water, seventeen miles. 334 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 2: From offshore, no land in sight, no boat in sight, 335 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 2: and it's three hundred feet deep and it was the 336 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 2: the ocean. I'll tell you this. I'm a water dog, right, 337 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 2: I was in some lessons as a kid, champion breaststroke artist. 338 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 2: Here surf all the time, but the deep, deep ocean 339 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 2: wants you underneath, so it pulls you in a way 340 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: that I've never been pulled before. So just getting your 341 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 2: life jacket on with all your like, let's start this over. 342 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 2: Boat sinks, life jackets get thrown out the boat. Yeah, 343 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 2: Braiden's tangled in fishing line, the fishing lines pulling him 344 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 2: under with the boat his Dad runs, swims over to him, 345 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 2: cuts the line off of Braiden. Braiden comes back up. 346 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 2: We all strip our clothes off to our chonies, except 347 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 2: for me. I kept my viory sweats on because they're 348 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: hell expensive, and we put our life jackets on. But 349 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 2: in that time, man, anytime that you weren't in a 350 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 2: life jacket, it just felt like the water was sucking 351 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 2: you underneath. Yeah, and what a help was feeling, right? Right? 352 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: So you guys have your life Let's get to the point. 353 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: You guys have your life jackets on. What's the conversation 354 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: like what? Because yeah, what's the conversation? 355 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's fight or flight. That the 356 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 2: boat had two firefighters on it. Brandon was military, Dad 357 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 2: was military. Uncle is a dispatcher for fire authority in 358 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 2: Orange County, Right, so all of us come from a 359 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 2: first responder background. 360 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: Is everybody in physical like physical shape. 361 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say great physical shape, but you know, when 362 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 2: you when I say we were in the water for 363 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 2: three and a half hours, it becomes a mind game. Yeah, 364 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: and he who wins will last. And if there's anything 365 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: that you need to know about situations like that is 366 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 2: fear's cancer. And so the moment fears spread, you know, 367 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 2: that's when bad decisions are made. So to be honest 368 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 2: with you, man, it was floating out there was scary, 369 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 2: but the moment we all accepted that it might be 370 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 2: the end for all of us, it was such a 371 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 2: light tone. There were jokes being said, there was some laughter. 372 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 2: We nicknamed the white cooler that we all held onto 373 00:18:54,200 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 2: Wilson from Castaway. And you know, why die scared when 374 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 2: you could die with your closest friends happy and laughing, 375 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: you know. But I'll tell you one thing, man, I 376 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 2: have huge guilt from the experience, right because you invite 377 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 2: me to go do something that I'm not used to. 378 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 2: I'm going to put my life on the fact that 379 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 2: you know what you're doing and you're going to keep 380 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 2: me safe. Right where I brought four of my friends, 381 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 2: closest friends onto the boat with me, and it sinks 382 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,719 Speaker 2: and puts their lives in jeopardy. And so I got 383 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 2: a lot of guilt because of it. That will never leave. 384 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 2: That's something that always carry with me. But I still 385 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 2: got them. You know. That's that's good. 386 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: That that that that that's so scared. That's just a crazy, crazy, 387 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: scary story. How so, how did you get saved? You're 388 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: out there for how long? Three and a half hours 389 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: treading water? 390 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 2: Mm hmm. First hour and a half it was shock right. Yeah, 391 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,959 Speaker 2: we always have these bad dreams. We wake up for them, right, 392 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 2: You're sleeping. All of a sudden, you feel his stud 393 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 2: in your chest, right, and you wake up before the 394 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: plane crafts or you fall off a building, before you 395 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 2: hit the ground. You always feel the stud in your 396 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 2: chest and you wake up. And so the whole top. 397 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 2: For an hour and a half, I am believing that 398 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: this is a shit dream, like this has got to 399 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 2: be a bad, bad dream, and I'm just not waking 400 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: up for some reason. And then I started dealing with 401 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 2: some real ash shit, like I started shivering, bad, bad, bad, 402 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 2: and then I started cramping up because all I had 403 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 2: was coffee in the morning. And then I knew at 404 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 2: that point, hour and a half into it, my time 405 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 2: card got punched. And that's when that's when the realization 406 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 2: of things being real really hit me. And you know, 407 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,719 Speaker 2: we we were all really in a survival mode for 408 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 2: three and a half hours, and it was anything and 409 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 2: everything we could do to stay warm. We all linked arms. 410 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 2: The water was sixty eight degrees. Sixty nine degrees doesn't 411 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 2: sound cold to you. No, it's cold listening to that. 412 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: But you know what, are our bodies run at, Joe, 413 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: like ninety seven something or ninety eight That cold water 414 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 2: stuck in the heat right out of your body. And 415 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 2: so we're linking arms to stay warm and staying close 416 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 2: to stay warm. And you know it. It was only 417 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 2: until a boat magically appeared at a kelt patty a 418 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 2: mile away where my boat initially sank. They fished that 419 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 2: same clt patty and came up empty, and one of 420 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 2: the guys on that boat had binoculars and saw something 421 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 2: shining in the water. And all we think is he 422 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 2: was either the cooler or a belt, because we strapped 423 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 2: belts to this cooler so people could link their arms 424 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 2: in there. And he had mentioned to the guy driving 425 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 2: the boat, like, hey, this is weird. There's something in 426 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 2: the water, Like, let's go check this out. And so 427 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 2: if they were going to turn around and go home, 428 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: if they would have turned around and went home, you 429 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 2: and I were not having this fun conversation, right, But 430 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 2: the fact that they drove to what they thought was 431 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 2: a debris like a debris field in the water is 432 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 2: the only reason I am right here. That's the only 433 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 2: reason three and a half hours. Man, I've maybe had 434 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 2: two hours left before, you know, something like. 435 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 3: Health wise happened or god forbid the man in the 436 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 3: gray suit. There are some massive gray white sharks out there, 437 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 3: huge for like submarines out there that could just swallow 438 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 3: you whole. 439 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 2: So there's so much going through your head when you're 440 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 2: out there. But I always remember getting in that boat 441 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 2: and just feeling this immense feeling of gratitude and thankfulness, 442 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 2: and it definitely changed my perspective on life. Yeah, oh completely. 443 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 2: I mean we joke around like, what's the craziest thing 444 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 2: that's ever happened to you? I mean, has anyone? A 445 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 2: majority of people in this world have not had a 446 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 2: true life or death scenario, right, And I've been unfortunate 447 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 2: enough to have that at work, but not to this magnitude. 448 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 2: At work, I can get out of situations that are 449 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 2: life or death through training, right. I rely on my 450 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 2: training and maybe the guy's behind me on my crew. 451 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,479 Speaker 2: But when you're in a situation like that, helpless with 452 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 2: no help coming, no cell phones, no radio, no nothing, 453 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 2: it's a whole new mindset. It's a whole new mindset, 454 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 2: and so that definitely reset some of the things that 455 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 2: I'm going to do going forward and reset some of 456 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 2: the things that I do. When it comes to you know, 457 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 2: family and friends, we overlook a lot of things. We 458 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 2: take things for granted. Life is really just an unstable 459 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 2: deck of cards that we expect to be upright every 460 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 2: time we wake up. When one of those cards falls, 461 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 2: you know, your entire stack at fall. And we take 462 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 2: that for granted all the time. So like just the 463 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 2: little things Joe, like waking up in the morning and 464 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 2: sitting on my porch and watching the sun come up. 465 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 2: I take that shit for granted. Why because the sun 466 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 2: comes up every day morning? Yeah, you know, but what 467 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 2: if one day it's gonna happen to us, right? Life 468 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 2: is life is life. We both know that you get 469 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 2: at some point your time card is gonna get punched, right, 470 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 2: And up until that point, you take all this stuff 471 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 2: for granted. And it's only until you have this crazy 472 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 2: scare that you start, you know, really truly appreciating the 473 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: little things, man, just the heat and the sand, or 474 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 2: the waves crashing or it's just it's wild. 475 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: I've been doing this podcast for for a long time. 476 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: That that is the craziest story I've ever heard. That's 477 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: that's that's that's insane. I can't imagine. Well, I'm really 478 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: happy you guys are alive. That's fucking nuts. Yeah, you 479 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: you and Branden have to like, you guys are now 480 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: bonded for for life. I would think so. 481 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,719 Speaker 2: Braiden and I were bonded before this shit even happened. 482 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: We became best friends right off the bachelorette. The day 483 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 2: he came home, we became brothers. And yeah, I mean, 484 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 2: if anything, this is another one one of those those 485 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 2: pages and you know our book of friendship that binds 486 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 2: our book even tighter than it already is.

I will not hide from my emotions. I 588 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 2: will tell you like it is.

We 655 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 2: worked out every morning, and you know, things are going great, 656 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 2: right now? 657 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: You know, do you think do you think if she 658 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: lived let's say she lived in New York, do you 659 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: think you there would have been more pressure for you 660 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: to speed things up? 661 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 2: No, just because I think the ease of access of 662 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 2: the accessibility of travel is so readily there at your 663 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 2: fingertips that I'm I feel like that brings out more 664 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 2: of an anxious attachment style to where you want something. Now, 665 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 2: I truly believe some of the best things are ones 666 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 2: that you have to work for and take your time in. 667 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 2: But Paradise is a unique place. You have no outside 668 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 2: you know this, right, I mean there's no outside influences. Uh, 669 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 2: your your match or your your your connection is is 670 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 2: there for just you and to get to know just 671 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 2: you until the next guy or girl arrives, right, And 672 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 2: maybe there's some be but it's it's an atmosphere that 673 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 2: you're never gonna get ever again, right, unless you go 674 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 2: back to Paradise. 675 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 1: Are you guys at this point from what we've seen, 676 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 1: are you guys exclusive? If if anyone else walks down, 677 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: have you guys had that conversation? 678 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 2: Yeah? And we we showed Hannah coming down to the 679 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 2: beach and she had pulled Braydon and I and she'd 680 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 2: asked me point blank are you happy? Like are you? 681 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,879 Speaker 2: Are you up for a date? And I just straight 682 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 2: up told her like I'm right now, I'm stoked with Sam. Yeah, 683 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 2: And the answer is no, Like I'm probably would say 684 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 2: no to a date at this point. I mean, it 685 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 2: would do it would It would do us an injustice 686 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 2: by only knowing her for three or four days to 687 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 2: go on another date when we've had like a foundation 688 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 2: built that no one really saw yet. 689 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 1: I'm with you, but there's a lot of people that 690 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: and I I personally think that's that's the right way 691 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: to do paradise if if you do feel something with someone, 692 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: But a lot of people don't follow that playbook. As 693 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: we see, are you so Sam? She hasn't She hasn't 694 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: been able to go to the bathroom for ten days. 695 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: But all you know, and there's some lightheartedness and some 696 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: jokes about it, but in all seriousness, she may have 697 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: to go home. And that's pretty much what she's telling you. 698 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,240 Speaker 1: What's going through your mind? You know, she goes home? 699 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: Are you going home? If she goes home?

Obviously, and you know, after Sam had 704 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 2: mentioned she may be going home, I thought, you know, 705 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 2: I there's no one else on this beach that I 706 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 2: can't fake shit. 707 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: Dude, all right, well, let's gonna stop you.
