<v Speaker 1>everyone knows who you are.

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I would think.

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>And you have a crazy story that we're gonna We're

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna get into all that. But before we do, how'd

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>you get onto your fireman live? You live in San Diego?

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, live in San Diego, work in Oakland. I've been

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.279
<v Speaker 2>getting Greek for that lately, Guys like, don't you're not

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 2>representing the city. I work in Oakland. I work for

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 2>the city of Oakland.

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh wait, you're you're you're a firefighter in Oakland,

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>but you live in San Diego. Yeah, how do you

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:53.560
<v Speaker 1>make that work?

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 2>It's called the super commute, baby. Yeah. It's a way

0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>for me to completely separate work from life, and in

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.320
<v Speaker 2>my line of work and the mental capacity it takes

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>to do what we do. For me that complete separation

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 2>is exactly what I needed. So San Diego is my

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 2>safe place. And then when I go to work, I

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 2>do my work at Oakland.

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Are you Are you like on one day off too?

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.399
<v Speaker 1>Do you have the that schedule or is it different?

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so every department varies. My fire department is a

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.399
<v Speaker 2>forty eight ninety six, so we're on for two straight days,

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.040
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hour shifts back to back, and then we

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:34.040
<v Speaker 2>get four days off. But supercommuters like myself, we'll stack

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 2>our shifts like we'll trade. So I'll work my regular

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 2>two days and then work someone else's two days, and

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 2>then I get eight days off consecutively.

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Got it? That makes it make more sense. Where are

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>you from.

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm from the Bay Area, born and rased Fremont, California.

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Shout out to my Freemont friends out there.

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Nice. Yeah, how'd you get on Charity Season?

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 2>How the hell? You know what? This is a crazy story, Joe.

0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm so happy I'm sharing it with you, of all

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 2>people coaching star job, I mean, your first ballot, Bachelor

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Famer dude. So before I got onto the

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Bachelorette Man, I was casted for Joe Millionaire.

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah they did. Yeah, I didn't watch it, but

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I know they remade that chant.

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 2>It was a Fox revamp. They were trying to rival

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 2>the Bachelor and Bachelorette from ABC. And you already got

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 2>star studied cast like yourself and Serena. I hope she's

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 2>all right, man. I heard she's not doing well. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.920
<v Speaker 2>talk about poop babies. But yeah, man, I was casted

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>for that show as the non millionaire boy, and girls

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:39.519
<v Speaker 2>were going to fall in love with me for who

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I was. And I was going through a pivotal time

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>in my fire career where I wanted more out of

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 2>my career. I thought I had the ability to reach

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 2>out and help out a larger community and Oakland was

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 2>number one on my list since I was twenty three

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.639
<v Speaker 2>years old, and I'd interviewed for them and they gave

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 2>me a job offer. The day a Fox called me

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.519
<v Speaker 2>and said you got the spot as the non millionaire guy,

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 2>and so I turned it down, went to academy and

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 2>latter worled over to Oakland and I'm at the airport

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 2>one day and ABC calls me and they're like, hey,

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 2>are you interested in you know, maybe coming on the

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Bachelorette and I'm like, wait, this is coming out of nowhere.

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Get I hadn't watched this show in years. I may

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:30.119
<v Speaker 2>have watched your season, and I'm just saying that because

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:30.920
<v Speaker 2>you're right in front of me.

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I probably don't I appreciate it. Yeah that's all you

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>had to say?

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, that was a white life. I shouldn't even

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 2>have done that. Well, I watched tidbits right, Yeah, and

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:42.839
<v Speaker 2>you know I didn't really have any interest. I'm thirty

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 2>four years old, and I do. I do want to

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 2>shout out to one of the Reddit people that said

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 2>that I look like I'm from the Nixon era. I'm

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 2>way too old for this shit. Okay, thirty four years old,

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I get a call from AYBC. They say, hey, are

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.119
<v Speaker 2>you interested? Of course I'm interested, But who the hell

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>nominated me or put my name in the man And

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>it was my sister and her husband who had sent

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 2>in all my information. And I'm one to create memories.

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>If there's an opportunity to possibly find love, possibly make

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 2>some lifelong friends, and possibly get to show you my personality,

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to do that hands down every time. And

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.919
<v Speaker 2>so I said yes, and you know, it was within

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.359
<v Speaker 2>like three or four weeks, you're living this normal life

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 2>and then you're in the middle of thirty forty cameras and.

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 1>You were able to and there was no issues with

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the Oakland Fire Department. You were able to stay on

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and keep the job that you want and everything.

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was a whole nother mix because you know,

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 2>being in the fire service, we have one of the

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 2>only careers that you don't need to know us, but

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.040
<v Speaker 2>we've been respected for over one hundred years. We're probably

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 2>the only entity in the United States that could literally

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 2>walk into a stranger's home and instantly you're not judgmentally

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 2>know that we're there to do good. And so I

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 2>had I was I was stressed out about it. Man.

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 2>I actually talk to my captain about this because we

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 2>have an image to uphold and I don't know much

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 2>about reality TV. I don't know anything about it actually,

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 2>and so I didn't know, you know, what if they

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 2>edited me this way, what if they edit me that way?

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 2>And so it was a conversation I had with a

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 2>captain of mine, and then it went up the ranks

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 2>to our fire chief at the time, and then went

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 2>to our legal team, and you know, me going on

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 2>the Bachelorette was hinged on them saying yes or no,

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 2>and they say, as long as you act yourself, you know,

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.279
<v Speaker 2>people are gonna hate you. There are people that hate me.

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I would say majority doesn't hate me.

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Joe, No, I don't. I don't think you right now,

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 1>at least you are not a hated character on this show.

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Well right now, I'm in a You're good, You're good?

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 1>What you're thirty?

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 2>Four? Mm hmm.

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.159
<v Speaker 1>Have you had any serious relationships before this show? What

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:56.679
<v Speaker 1>was dating?

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Why are you single?

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? You want the baby? Will give you the basic answers. Yeah, yeah.

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.599
<v Speaker 2>I have worked my tail off from the time I

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>was thirteen years old up until now. What people don't

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 2>know about me was I was a ranch kid before

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 2>I became a firefighter. I had my own ranching business.

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 2>I managed cattle ranches, I had two horses of my own.

0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:23.239
<v Speaker 2>I taught little kids horseback riding lessons, I trained horses,

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 2>had a major barb wire fencing company, and all I

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 2>knew was blue collar work. You know, when my friends

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 2>were out partying and going to high school things, I

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:34.719
<v Speaker 2>was working at the ranch till dark and get my

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.440
<v Speaker 2>homework done on the weekdays to go straight to the

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:42.720
<v Speaker 2>ranch and work till dark. And that upbringing, you know,

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 2>brought me to the man I am today and taught

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 2>me some morals and values that are invaluable. And you know,

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 2>as I've become to be this like thirty four year

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 2>old man with this bushy beard, I've become picky because

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.279
<v Speaker 2>I've worked really hard to get to where I am.

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I'm financially stable. I've got a great career,

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 2>and I love my family. I'm super tight with them.

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I've got a great friend group, and you know, the

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 2>last thing I want is to bring my partner into

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 2>something where they're not going to add to that. And

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's become harder and harder as I get older,

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 2>is to find a partner that I that I truly

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 2>think adds to my family and adds to my friend

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 2>group and adds to me as much as I add

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 2>to their family, their friend group and them. And so yeah,

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 2>that's why I'm single going into the bat That's why

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>I was single going into the Bachelorette, And that's why

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I was single going into Bachelor in Paradise. Got it

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 2>because your boys a little picky.

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Got it? Okay, that's no wrong with that. I in

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 1>those long hours. I used to I used to work

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>in the produce market, so I would start at I'd

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 1>wake up at like one point thirty two am and

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>work ten twelve hour days. So I do get that.

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 1>It's it's hard to have a social life when when

0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 1>you have those crazy.

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, hold on one second, Joe, hold on. Apparently

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 2>lights shut off in the bunker room. There we go. No, I,

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 2>I actually you're you're in my story are actually a

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 2>little oddly similar.

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>My uh.

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.680
<v Speaker 2>I worked for my grandfather for a while, you know,

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 2>a standard five and dime like a Ace hardware, and

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 2>so you know, at a young age, I would always

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 2>go there on the weekends and stock shelves. So all

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 2>those produce guys out there, kudos. Do you do the

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Lord's work. You gotta the world's gotta eat.

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Man, world's world needs produce. So okay, So I was

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:42.559
<v Speaker 1>I was at it was Charities after after the Rowse show,

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 1>and I saw Braided in the hallway and he's like, hey, bro,

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:47.839
<v Speaker 1>if you ever get down, if you get down to

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>San Diego, Aaron S and I are doing a fishing trip,

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.440
<v Speaker 1>you should come and I'm like, well, I just that's

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 1>just not that's not gonna align with what I have

0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>going on. But I appreciate. I appreciate the end.

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.720
<v Speaker 1>And then I want to say, maybe, like a month

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.680
<v Speaker 1>or two months ago, I see a clip of two

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 1>bachelor guys almost drown in a f fishing trip, and

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 1>it's Branden and Aaron s Yeah, what fuck happened? Yeah?

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.959
<v Speaker 2>What the fuck happened? Is right? Man? And and would

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 2>you expect none other than Braiden and Aarones to sink

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 2>about together? The answer is no, you clearly don't know

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Brandon and me. Well enough Braiden and I for those

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 2>vocabulary freaks out there, But yeah, I've owned boats my

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 2>whole life. I've been around ski boats. My family has

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:46.319
<v Speaker 2>a ski boat, and my dream since I was a

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 2>kid was to own my own boat. My grandfather used

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 2>to take me fishing to Alaska every year. That was

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 2>the path to manhood in his eyes, in our family.

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.079
<v Speaker 2>And you know, for ten straight years I'd go to

0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.199
<v Speaker 2>Alaska with him, Craig Alaska, to this lodge called King

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Fisher Lodge, and we literally fish for a week off

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 2>the grid with a guy who built this lodge on

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 2>his property, and it was a dream of mine doing

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 2>a fishing boat. And I love the ocean. There's one

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 2>thing anyone needs to know about me. I love the ocean.

0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 2>It's the most humbling thing nature can throw at you.

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 2>And there's nothing more than I want than to either

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 2>surf or be on top of the water. And so

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 2>after you know, thirty four years, finally I get the

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.719
<v Speaker 2>money to buy this boat. I am stoked by the

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 2>way about buying this boat. Talking to this guy, Braiden

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:37.439
<v Speaker 2>and I are going surfing in Orange County and I'm like,

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 2>you know what, Braiden, I've been texting this guy on

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Craiglist about this boat. You want to go look at

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.559
<v Speaker 2>it with me? It'sim Fullerton. He's like, oh man, yeah,

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 2>let's let's go look at it. Anytime you make a

0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 2>stupid decision, ninety percent of the time that stupid decision

0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 2>is pushed on you by a friend, right, Or you're

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>going to make that decision because a friend is with you. Yeah,

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 2>when you're by yourself, you're probably gonna walk away, just

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 2>like a car when you go buy a new car.

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I think, do you think you would have walked away

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 1>if Braiden was like, nah, bro, I'm out, I can't

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>do it.

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Hell no, I'm not putting that on Braidon. Braid didn't

0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 2>buy this boat. But he's like my hype man, so

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 2>of course it'll be like yeah, fuck yut, let's get

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 2>this boat. We see it. This thing is beautiful. Pay

0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.640
<v Speaker 2>for a whole inspection guy charges me five hundred bucks inspecs.

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.560
<v Speaker 2>The boat sends me a ten page report. All systems, ago,

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 2>whole engine, bait tank, Everything on this boat is right perfect,

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 2>ready to go. I bring it home. I start noticing

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 2>little things on it that aren't working. The trailer's broken.

0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I fix the trailer. The stabilizer flaps break the first

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>time I take it out. I call a mechanic. I

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:42.079
<v Speaker 2>get that fixed. And these are all little orange flags

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 2>right that start adding up. But in your stokedness, you

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of overlook some of those orange flags and you go, well,

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 2>you know what, like I fix these things. You know

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 2>now that this is fixed, then nothing else is going

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.360
<v Speaker 2>to break. Mind you, this boat is all It's from

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 2>the seventies, and the gentleman who I bought it from

0:11:58.080 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 2>it told me that he had redone it in his driveway.

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Fiberglass gel coat and stringers. Stringers are the backbone of

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 2>a boat. Those are the ones that run down the spine.

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 2>There's usually two of them that run down the spine

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 2>of a boat, down the hole. And so, yeah, this

0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:15.959
<v Speaker 2>is the crazy. If I would have brought this is

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:17.480
<v Speaker 2>the thing that kills me. If I would have brought

0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 2>my dad on this boat, I would have killed him

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 2>that day. And so I joke around with these guys

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 2>and I say, like, this was bound to happen. This

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 2>boat was going to sink at some point, and I

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.080
<v Speaker 2>am so thankful that I sunk it with Braiden, my

0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 2>buddy Gavin, who's another firefighter, Braiden's dad, and Braiden's uncle.

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>If I would have sunk it with anyone else, anyone

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 2>else on this planet, one of us would not have

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.520
<v Speaker 2>come home. Okay is that crazy? Oh?

0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So how far out are you and how does

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 1>it sake?

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so this is crazy. We're seventeen miles off shore,

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 2>which you might as well take a spaceship to Pluto.

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 2>There's no one out there. It's just us and everything's

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.719
<v Speaker 2>going fine. Man, we're having fun. We're being guys. We're

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:09.680
<v Speaker 2>peeing off the boat, jumping off the swim deck for

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 2>people that fish or don't know how to fish. When

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 2>you're going for dorado or tuna, yellow tel tuna or

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.679
<v Speaker 2>yellowfin tuna, you're looking for boilers in the water. So

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 2>we get to a certain GPS waypoint, which is seventeen

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 2>miles off shore. Everything's fine, and you're looking for kel

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.360
<v Speaker 2>patties or a bunch of boils in the water, and

0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 2>so we find Akelt Patty. We stop throwing throwing bait.

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 2>At this point, I realized no one on the boat

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 2>knows how to fish. So now I am a charter captain.

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.280
<v Speaker 2>My name is Aarones. I'm the charter guy. I'm here

0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.679
<v Speaker 2>to make sure everyone's having a good time. So I'm

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 2>baiting everyone's lines for them. We're throwing them to the

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:47.720
<v Speaker 2>kelt patties. First, kel Patty's empty. We're about three hours

0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 2>into this journey. Three and a half hours go by.

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 2>We're at the second CLT Patty. Same thing, no fish bait,

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.960
<v Speaker 2>everyone's line for them. We reel up the lines. I

0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 2>looked at the ocean report. It said the wind was

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 2>going to pick up at eleven. So I told the

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.880
<v Speaker 2>guy's next kel patty or boiler spot that we find

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.760
<v Speaker 2>like we're out of here. We're gonna fish it for

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.960
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. We're gonna turn around and bounce. We

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.040
<v Speaker 2>were lucky the sea was super calm that day. There

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 2>was a wind swell, but the ocean's gonna have swell

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 2>no matter what day you're there. And so the boats

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 2>off were drifting next to the third kelt. Patty and

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 2>my buddy hooks onto a dorado. Everyone goes to the

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 2>front of the boat. My buddy lets the line go

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 2>under the boat and then the fish runs around the prop.

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 2>The boat's off. It's not a big deal. Why you

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 2>have an outboard motor on a boat so you could

0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.200
<v Speaker 2>bring the prop up if you get stuck in kelp

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 2>or if a line gets crossed, you can lift the

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 2>prop up off the back of the boat on tangle line,

0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 2>dropped the prop back down. You're good to go. Mind

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 2>you this. I'm going to tell you this. But before

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I tell you this, three of the guys on that

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 2>boat had stepped on the back of the swim deck

0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 2>while the boat was off. Prior to this event happening.

0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 2>All the guys on the front of the boat, Gavin

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 2>has his line. I'd tell Gavin my buddy, Gavin, I said,

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 2>let your line out. Everything's fine. I'm gonna lift the

0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 2>prop up, untangle your line. You're gonna real this fishion.

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Then we're gonna head home. Prop comes up, Gavin lets

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.960
<v Speaker 2>his line out. All systems a go until I step

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 2>on the swim deck. The moment I step on the

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 2>swim deck, the boat is completely underwater. In fifteen seconds gone.

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 2>We don't have time to radio, we don't have time

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 2>to get our phones, we don't have time for anything.

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 2>And it is so unlike me to give a safety

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.720
<v Speaker 2>briefing for any of the activities that I do. That's

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 2>just my nature. But I, for some weird reason, I

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 2>had given them a safety briefing before they got on

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 2>the boat. I showed them exactly where we were going,

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 2>so some of them had texted their wives or family, like, hey,

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 2>we're going out to this point. I showed them where

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 2>the life jackets were, every little safety piece of that boat,

0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 2>where the radio was. It was on channel sixteen for

0:15:54.400 --> 0:16:00.040
<v Speaker 2>the Coastguard. And luckily, Branden's dad, who won MVP of

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 2>that entire experience, was listening to this absolutely abysmal safety

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 2>briefing that I'd given the guys and remembered where the

0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.400
<v Speaker 2>life jackets were, so he dove down and opened up

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:16.040
<v Speaker 2>the hatch. And really, those life jackets are what saved us,

0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.480
<v Speaker 2>because all of a sudden you have, let me put

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 2>this into perspective, you are having the time of your

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 2>life with your closest friends, sharing an experience together that

0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 2>none of us really get. One moment. You're having that experience.

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 2>In the next moment, Dude, you're floating in the deep

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 2>blue three hundred feet I mean we're in.

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 1>The treading water, seventeen miles.

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 2>From offshore, no land in sight, no boat in sight,

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 2>and it's three hundred feet deep and it was the

0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:49.280
<v Speaker 2>the ocean. I'll tell you this. I'm a water dog, right,

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 2>I was in some lessons as a kid, champion breaststroke artist.

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Here surf all the time, but the deep, deep ocean

0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 2>wants you underneath, so it pulls you in a way

0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 2>that I've never been pulled before. So just getting your

0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 2>life jacket on with all your like, let's start this over.

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Boat sinks, life jackets get thrown out the boat. Yeah,

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Braiden's tangled in fishing line, the fishing lines pulling him

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 2>under with the boat his Dad runs, swims over to him,

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:24.240
<v Speaker 2>cuts the line off of Braiden. Braiden comes back up.

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.879
<v Speaker 2>We all strip our clothes off to our chonies, except

0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.360
<v Speaker 2>for me. I kept my viory sweats on because they're

0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 2>hell expensive, and we put our life jackets on. But

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.480
<v Speaker 2>in that time, man, anytime that you weren't in a

0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.320
<v Speaker 2>life jacket, it just felt like the water was sucking

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:44.879
<v Speaker 2>you underneath. Yeah, and what a help was feeling, right? Right?

0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:49.400
<v Speaker 1>So you guys have your life Let's get to the point.

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 1>You guys have your life jackets on. What's the conversation

0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:57.119
<v Speaker 1>like what? Because yeah, what's the conversation?

0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's it's fight or flight. That the

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:04.480
<v Speaker 2>boat had two firefighters on it. Brandon was military, Dad

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:08.440
<v Speaker 2>was military. Uncle is a dispatcher for fire authority in

0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Orange County, Right, so all of us come from a

0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 2>first responder background.

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Is everybody in physical like physical shape.

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.640
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't say great physical shape, but you know, when

0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:20.359
<v Speaker 2>you when I say we were in the water for

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.280
<v Speaker 2>three and a half hours, it becomes a mind game. Yeah,

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 2>and he who wins will last. And if there's anything

0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 2>that you need to know about situations like that is

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:35.600
<v Speaker 2>fear's cancer. And so the moment fears spread, you know,

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.240
<v Speaker 2>that's when bad decisions are made. So to be honest

0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.040
<v Speaker 2>with you, man, it was floating out there was scary,

0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.720
<v Speaker 2>but the moment we all accepted that it might be

0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.439
<v Speaker 2>the end for all of us, it was such a

0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:51.600
<v Speaker 2>light tone. There were jokes being said, there was some laughter.

0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.200
<v Speaker 2>We nicknamed the white cooler that we all held onto

0:18:54.200 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Wilson from Castaway. And you know, why die scared when

0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 2>you could die with your closest friends happy and laughing,

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 2>you know. But I'll tell you one thing, man, I

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:11.320
<v Speaker 2>have huge guilt from the experience, right because you invite

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.040
<v Speaker 2>me to go do something that I'm not used to.

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to put my life on the fact that

0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:16.480
<v Speaker 2>you know what you're doing and you're going to keep

0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.200
<v Speaker 2>me safe. Right where I brought four of my friends,

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.399
<v Speaker 2>closest friends onto the boat with me, and it sinks

0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:25.719
<v Speaker 2>and puts their lives in jeopardy. And so I got

0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:27.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of guilt because of it. That will never leave.

0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:32.280
<v Speaker 2>That's something that always carry with me. But I still

0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:34.440
<v Speaker 2>got them. You know. That's that's good.

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 1>That that that that that's so scared. That's just a crazy, crazy,

0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 1>scary story. How so, how did you get saved? You're

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.000
<v Speaker 1>out there for how long? Three and a half hours

0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:47.640
<v Speaker 1>treading water?

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm. First hour and a half it was shock right. Yeah,

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:54.959
<v Speaker 2>we always have these bad dreams. We wake up for them, right,

0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:56.720
<v Speaker 2>You're sleeping. All of a sudden, you feel his stud

0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.320
<v Speaker 2>in your chest, right, and you wake up before the

0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.760
<v Speaker 2>plane crafts or you fall off a building, before you

0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:03.479
<v Speaker 2>hit the ground. You always feel the stud in your

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:05.840
<v Speaker 2>chest and you wake up. And so the whole top.

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.639
<v Speaker 2>For an hour and a half, I am believing that

0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 2>this is a shit dream, like this has got to

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.680
<v Speaker 2>be a bad, bad dream, and I'm just not waking

0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:17.280
<v Speaker 2>up for some reason. And then I started dealing with

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:21.160
<v Speaker 2>some real ash shit, like I started shivering, bad, bad, bad,

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.280
<v Speaker 2>and then I started cramping up because all I had

0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.080
<v Speaker 2>was coffee in the morning. And then I knew at

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:26.960
<v Speaker 2>that point, hour and a half into it, my time

0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 2>card got punched. And that's when that's when the realization

0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:36.439
<v Speaker 2>of things being real really hit me. And you know,

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:39.719
<v Speaker 2>we we were all really in a survival mode for

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:42.800
<v Speaker 2>three and a half hours, and it was anything and

0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.720
<v Speaker 2>everything we could do to stay warm. We all linked arms.

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:48.879
<v Speaker 2>The water was sixty eight degrees. Sixty nine degrees doesn't

0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:51.560
<v Speaker 2>sound cold to you. No, it's cold listening to that.

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, are our bodies run at, Joe,

0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:58.320
<v Speaker 2>like ninety seven something or ninety eight That cold water

0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:02.120
<v Speaker 2>stuck in the heat right out of your body. And

0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:05.440
<v Speaker 2>so we're linking arms to stay warm and staying close

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:12.040
<v Speaker 2>to stay warm. And you know it. It was only

0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 2>until a boat magically appeared at a kelt patty a

0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:21.080
<v Speaker 2>mile away where my boat initially sank. They fished that

0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:23.480
<v Speaker 2>same clt patty and came up empty, and one of

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:26.280
<v Speaker 2>the guys on that boat had binoculars and saw something

0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:29.679
<v Speaker 2>shining in the water. And all we think is he

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:33.040
<v Speaker 2>was either the cooler or a belt, because we strapped

0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:35.120
<v Speaker 2>belts to this cooler so people could link their arms

0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:39.520
<v Speaker 2>in there. And he had mentioned to the guy driving

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 2>the boat, like, hey, this is weird. There's something in

0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:44.280
<v Speaker 2>the water, Like, let's go check this out. And so

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:46.320
<v Speaker 2>if they were going to turn around and go home,

0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:48.080
<v Speaker 2>if they would have turned around and went home, you

0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:52.119
<v Speaker 2>and I were not having this fun conversation, right, But

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:55.399
<v Speaker 2>the fact that they drove to what they thought was

0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:58.399
<v Speaker 2>a debris like a debris field in the water is

0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 2>the only reason I am right here. That's the only

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 2>reason three and a half hours. Man, I've maybe had

0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:09.680
<v Speaker 2>two hours left before, you know, something like.

0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 3>Health wise happened or god forbid the man in the

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:16.040
<v Speaker 3>gray suit. There are some massive gray white sharks out there,

0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:21.320
<v Speaker 3>huge for like submarines out there that could just swallow

0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:21.760
<v Speaker 3>you whole.

0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:23.520
<v Speaker 2>So there's so much going through your head when you're

0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:27.960
<v Speaker 2>out there. But I always remember getting in that boat

0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:33.240
<v Speaker 2>and just feeling this immense feeling of gratitude and thankfulness,

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:41.720
<v Speaker 2>and it definitely changed my perspective on life. Yeah, oh completely.

0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:43.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean we joke around like, what's the craziest thing

0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:46.960
<v Speaker 2>that's ever happened to you? I mean, has anyone? A

0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:49.399
<v Speaker 2>majority of people in this world have not had a

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:55.360
<v Speaker 2>true life or death scenario, right, And I've been unfortunate

0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:58.440
<v Speaker 2>enough to have that at work, but not to this magnitude.

0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:01.360
<v Speaker 2>At work, I can get out of situations that are

0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:03.480
<v Speaker 2>life or death through training, right. I rely on my

0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:06.399
<v Speaker 2>training and maybe the guy's behind me on my crew.

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:09.479
<v Speaker 2>But when you're in a situation like that, helpless with

0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:12.359
<v Speaker 2>no help coming, no cell phones, no radio, no nothing,

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:16.760
<v Speaker 2>it's a whole new mindset. It's a whole new mindset,

0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:20.199
<v Speaker 2>and so that definitely reset some of the things that

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to do going forward and reset some of

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:27.560
<v Speaker 2>the things that I do. When it comes to you know,

0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:31.119
<v Speaker 2>family and friends, we overlook a lot of things. We

0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:35.879
<v Speaker 2>take things for granted. Life is really just an unstable

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:38.720
<v Speaker 2>deck of cards that we expect to be upright every

0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:41.159
<v Speaker 2>time we wake up. When one of those cards falls,

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:45.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, your entire stack at fall. And we take

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:47.080
<v Speaker 2>that for granted all the time. So like just the

0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:50.040
<v Speaker 2>little things Joe, like waking up in the morning and

0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:52.040
<v Speaker 2>sitting on my porch and watching the sun come up.

0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:54.800
<v Speaker 2>I take that shit for granted. Why because the sun

0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:57.480
<v Speaker 2>comes up every day morning? Yeah, you know, but what

0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:00.280
<v Speaker 2>if one day it's gonna happen to us, right? Life

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 2>is life is life. We both know that you get

0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:07.240
<v Speaker 2>at some point your time card is gonna get punched, right,

0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 2>And up until that point, you take all this stuff

0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:12.639
<v Speaker 2>for granted. And it's only until you have this crazy

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:16.960
<v Speaker 2>scare that you start, you know, really truly appreciating the

0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 2>little things, man, just the heat and the sand, or

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:22.679
<v Speaker 2>the waves crashing or it's just it's wild.

0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:26.119
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing this podcast for for a long time.

0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:30.040
<v Speaker 1>That that is the craziest story I've ever heard. That's

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 1>that's that's that's insane. I can't imagine. Well, I'm really

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:41.160
<v Speaker 1>happy you guys are alive. That's fucking nuts. Yeah, you

0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:44.520
<v Speaker 1>you and Branden have to like, you guys are now

0:24:44.600 --> 0:24:47.639
<v Speaker 1>bonded for for life. I would think so.

0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:50.719
<v Speaker 2>Braiden and I were bonded before this shit even happened.

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:54.560
<v Speaker 2>We became best friends right off the bachelorette. The day

0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 2>he came home, we became brothers. And yeah, I mean,

0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:01.440
<v Speaker 2>if anything, this is another one one of those those

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 2>pages and you know our book of friendship that binds

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:08.119
<v Speaker 2>our book even tighter than it already is. Yeah, this

0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 2>is you know, the one thing I'm thankful for is

0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:13.479
<v Speaker 2>I didn't really know Bradon's family that well. And I

0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:15.720
<v Speaker 2>can tell you right now and now after this event,

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:20.680
<v Speaker 2>I am his person, bro, Like I was just at

0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:22.280
<v Speaker 2>I was just at a winery with his aunt and

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 2>his mom, and I'm they literally call me their adopted son.

0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:29.440
<v Speaker 2>So you know, there's there's always a silver lining to

0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:32.720
<v Speaker 2>something that's that's kind of dark and scary. You just

0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:35.440
<v Speaker 2>gotta let that door open for you, right and see

0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:35.919
<v Speaker 2>what happens.

0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I was not expected this is this was intense. I

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:43.000
<v Speaker 1>thought that I I w I when I watched this clip,

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I was like, that's insane. But like really hearing it

0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:51.960
<v Speaker 1>from your perspective and from the person that was there,

0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:54.880
<v Speaker 1>it's just that's wow. Wow.

0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Like, let me ask you this, dude, Let me ask

0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:58.600
<v Speaker 2>you this. And I know you're the question asker, but

0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 2>give me, give me at least one you. Have you

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:04.040
<v Speaker 2>ever in your life accepted death?

0:26:10.240 --> 0:26:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Probably, Like I mean, I accepted the fact that I'm

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 1>eventually going to die. But have I ever had no Probably? No,

0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I would say no.

0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:24.040
<v Speaker 2>And I'm trying to walk you through my emotions on

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 2>you know that time period when we were in the water,

0:26:27.119 --> 0:26:29.320
<v Speaker 2>because at that time, two and a half hours in

0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:33.000
<v Speaker 2>with nothing in sight and no phone, no way to

0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 2>reach anybody, no land. I mean literally we're bobbing up

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:37.199
<v Speaker 2>and down these waves.

0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Life like just fucking lifeless, dude, just waiting for the inevitable.

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Right is if you let me ask you this, if

0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:49.560
<v Speaker 2>you died today, if you accepted death and you died

0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:55.680
<v Speaker 2>today at your age, would there be any regret, any

0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:58.480
<v Speaker 2>regret whatsoever? Like I could have done more up until

0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 2>this point or I have so much more to give,

0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:02.119
<v Speaker 2>I have so much more to do, I have so

0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:03.720
<v Speaker 2>much more for the world to see.

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:07.240
<v Speaker 1>And I'm asking this, Yeah, I would say, I would say,

0:27:07.240 --> 0:27:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I would say yes. I would say I would say

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:13.160
<v Speaker 1>yes to that. Yeah, I would say, There's a lot

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:18.040
<v Speaker 1>of things I could be better at, so it should

0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 1>probably work on those before I'm floating in the middle

0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:21.480
<v Speaker 1>of the ocean. Well, big Joel.

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:24.560
<v Speaker 2>What I'm trying to say is life is one crazy book, right,

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:27.439
<v Speaker 2>And I get I'm fortunate or not fortunate enough to

0:27:27.480 --> 0:27:30.479
<v Speaker 2>see a lot of death in my career. And the

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:32.960
<v Speaker 2>one thing that always gets me, man, it makes me

0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:35.679
<v Speaker 2>feel super sad is when someone's on their deathbed and

0:27:35.680 --> 0:27:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm right there next to them and they have regrets

0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:39.800
<v Speaker 2>on what they could have or should have done in

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:43.520
<v Speaker 2>their lives. And so, if this story can tell you anything,

0:27:43.560 --> 0:27:47.200
<v Speaker 2>we're lucky to be alive. We are. But any opportunity

0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:50.440
<v Speaker 2>that you take to push yourself to learn something new,

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:52.560
<v Speaker 2>or if there's a certain thing that you haven't tried,

0:27:52.600 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 2>you want to try try it because you never know

0:27:56.000 --> 0:27:57.280
<v Speaker 2>when your book closes on you.

0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, No, I think that's that's that's great. Advice, Joe. Yeah,

0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:14.159
<v Speaker 1>but it's great. This this, this is this is really

0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 1>uh this is the this was really good. At least

0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>this was great. I mean insane. I'm not even speaking right,

0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even making words.

0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you're not even crying. What are you doing

0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 2>over there?

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 1>You can't figure out your fucking light.

0:28:30.800 --> 0:28:33.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to impress the audience here, I'm in a

0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:36.720
<v Speaker 3>really nice bunker to make me look like something I'm not.

0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, we have to we have to jump

0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the paradise real quick. Before we do, I want to

0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:44.720
<v Speaker 1>ask a real quick question. Answer it as quick as

0:28:44.760 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>you could. The guy that inspected, inspector who inspected the boat.

0:28:50.200 --> 0:28:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Is he to blame it all for any of this? No, okay,

0:28:54.840 --> 0:28:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I just didn't know.

0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:59.440
<v Speaker 2>It was like no, no, no, no, no. This is all

0:29:00.000 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 2>bunch of orange.

0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Flag freak in a freak accident.

0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 2>No one's at fault for anything. Man it We're lucky

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:07.920
<v Speaker 2>to be alive.

0:29:08.480 --> 0:29:11.840
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I just I don't know like boat lingo,

0:29:11.920 --> 0:29:14.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not really you know, so I'm just curious.

0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:16.600
<v Speaker 2>When you're not a Joe, you're not a botologist.

0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a botologist, never have no it never will be.

0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:22.320
<v Speaker 1>And after the story, I will never go on a

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:27.080
<v Speaker 1>fishing trip. I'm glad I live in a city. All right, Uh,

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:31.000
<v Speaker 1>let's jump to paradise a little bit. First thing I

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:35.200
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about is the most I think the

0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:38.480
<v Speaker 1>most we've seen of Aaron s up until this episode

0:29:38.760 --> 0:29:42.560
<v Speaker 1>has really been the little bit of beef that we

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:45.400
<v Speaker 1>saw with you and Pete, and we all saw the

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:49.840
<v Speaker 1>FP thing and that was weird. And now we kind

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:53.960
<v Speaker 1>of see why you guys don't really like each other

0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:56.600
<v Speaker 1>at the mental hall. We saw it at the mental

0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:58.760
<v Speaker 1>all So, I don't know, could you just dive into that?

0:29:59.400 --> 0:30:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? There. I have a rule. There's a there's a

0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 2>rule that I go by. It's the free rule. There's

0:30:06.040 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 2>three things that if you cross me, I'm a put

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 2>you in the ground. You cross my family, you cross

0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 2>my friends, or you cross me and family is you

0:30:17.800 --> 0:30:20.320
<v Speaker 2>know the girl I'm dating too, I consider them family.

0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:24.600
<v Speaker 2>And Pete head straight up crossed me at the beach

0:30:24.800 --> 0:30:27.920
<v Speaker 2>and I, whether you like me or not, I am

0:30:28.080 --> 0:30:31.240
<v Speaker 2>very blunt. I will not hide from my emotions. I

0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 2>will tell you like it is. And words were exchanged,

0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:38.200
<v Speaker 2>and he said what he said about me to Sam

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.760
<v Speaker 2>and I don't stand for that kind of shit. If

0:30:41.760 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 2>you have something to say, stay for my face. And

0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:46.480
<v Speaker 2>so we had a little bit of a heated exchange

0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:49.040
<v Speaker 2>and I don't really know if he's ever had someone

0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 2>talk to him like that. And obviously that boiled over

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:56.480
<v Speaker 2>in the mentel all because no one really knew knew

0:30:56.480 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 2>what had happened on the beach up until that point. Right, So,

0:31:01.400 --> 0:31:04.920
<v Speaker 2>now that everyone's seen it, I think people are starting

0:31:04.920 --> 0:31:07.160
<v Speaker 2>to understand why there was beef between Peter and I.

0:31:08.360 --> 0:31:12.080
<v Speaker 2>But I'll tell you this, like, now you know, Peter

0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:15.080
<v Speaker 2>and I don't have any beef, Like we've squashed it,

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:17.440
<v Speaker 2>forgive and forget.

0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So we had talked about it, talked about why

0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:25.760
<v Speaker 2>I had said the things that I had said, and yeah,

0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I got no bad blood for I'm not going to

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:30.320
<v Speaker 2>hang out with him on my days off, but I'm

0:31:30.320 --> 0:31:32.840
<v Speaker 2>not going to shake his hand and give him a

0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:34.720
<v Speaker 2>hug when I see him and ask him how he's doing.

0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's good, and that's I'd like that. You guys

0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 1>are are cool now and that so far, that was

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:48.320
<v Speaker 1>one of the most genuine scenes I've seen on Paradise

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:50.360
<v Speaker 1>yet because it was it was an off the cough

0:31:50.520 --> 0:31:53.959
<v Speaker 1>moment and I could just tell you were like, I

0:31:53.960 --> 0:31:55.840
<v Speaker 1>don't care, this is who I am. We're going to

0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:58.160
<v Speaker 1>have this conversation right now.

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean sick. Sam and I on the beach

0:32:02.240 --> 0:32:05.760
<v Speaker 2>so far have one of the strongest connections and it's

0:32:05.800 --> 0:32:09.200
<v Speaker 2>just not hasn't been filmed or he shows.

0:32:09.360 --> 0:32:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's talk about that because we're really we're really

0:32:11.720 --> 0:32:13.960
<v Speaker 1>not seeing you guys. So and this is the most

0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:18.360
<v Speaker 1>scene as all the poop baby shit. But yeah, yeah,

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:20.160
<v Speaker 1>how like what's going on there?

0:32:20.480 --> 0:32:22.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'll tell you this, dude, Like, there's literally

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:27.400
<v Speaker 2>no drama. And I'm my partner in life, whether it's

0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:31.680
<v Speaker 2>on reality TV, on Paradise, and mind you, I didn't

0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 2>know how Paradise worked until maybe two or three weeks

0:32:34.680 --> 0:32:37.720
<v Speaker 2>before when I watched the season prior and I went,

0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:44.640
<v Speaker 2>holy shit, show like this is insane. And as a partner,

0:32:44.680 --> 0:32:48.360
<v Speaker 2>as a man, I want my partner to feel safe,

0:32:48.440 --> 0:32:51.200
<v Speaker 2>and by feeling safe, I want to make my intentions

0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:54.600
<v Speaker 2>very prevalent for that person so they don't have any

0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:59.320
<v Speaker 2>anxiety leading up to anything, you know, day one. Sam

0:32:59.440 --> 0:33:02.640
<v Speaker 2>is probably the most ripped girl on that beach. Her

0:33:02.640 --> 0:33:04.320
<v Speaker 2>and I both come from San Diego.

0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:07.040
<v Speaker 1>We shared that from from from not being able to

0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:09.360
<v Speaker 1>go to the bathroom for ten days or whatever it is.

0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:12.440
<v Speaker 1>She's she's got a six pack. She's not even blowed it, Like,

0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:14.920
<v Speaker 1>yeah she is.

0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:18.160
<v Speaker 2>I can't say enough great things about Sam. She is

0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:24.600
<v Speaker 2>such an amazing woman. She's beautiful, she's so driven and talented,

0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:28.520
<v Speaker 2>and we instantly hit it off day one, and I

0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:31.080
<v Speaker 2>wasn't expecting that. I I came on the beach with

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:34.040
<v Speaker 2>thinking that I wanted to explore my cowboy days with

0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Brooklyn and in walk Sam and her and I really

0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:42.080
<v Speaker 2>really bonded and it was just this really easy going,

0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:48.120
<v Speaker 2>free flowing conversation from the moment she walked on to

0:33:48.200 --> 0:33:54.640
<v Speaker 2>that beach until now. So you know, we we had

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:56.720
<v Speaker 2>talked and I said, hey, like, I don't want you.

0:33:57.520 --> 0:34:01.160
<v Speaker 2>She left day one of Clayton season right night one. Yeah,

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I just wanted her experience on Bachelor in Paradise to

0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:08.240
<v Speaker 2>be different, Like, let's get to know each other, Let's

0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:10.759
<v Speaker 2>have fun. We have an entire month here to get

0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:12.640
<v Speaker 2>to know one another before we both go back to

0:34:12.680 --> 0:34:17.080
<v Speaker 2>San Diego. Let's build this solid like foundation together. We

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:22.520
<v Speaker 2>worked out every morning, and you know, things are going great,

0:34:22.600 --> 0:34:23.040
<v Speaker 2>right now?

0:34:23.520 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, do you think do you think if she

0:34:26.360 --> 0:34:29.120
<v Speaker 1>lived let's say she lived in New York, do you

0:34:29.200 --> 0:34:31.360
<v Speaker 1>think you there would have been more pressure for you

0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:33.560
<v Speaker 1>to speed things up?

0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:39.239
<v Speaker 2>No, just because I think the ease of access of

0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:44.080
<v Speaker 2>the accessibility of travel is so readily there at your

0:34:44.120 --> 0:34:47.920
<v Speaker 2>fingertips that I'm I feel like that brings out more

0:34:47.920 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 2>of an anxious attachment style to where you want something. Now,

0:34:52.360 --> 0:34:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I truly believe some of the best things are ones

0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:57.319
<v Speaker 2>that you have to work for and take your time in.

0:34:59.719 --> 0:35:02.920
<v Speaker 2>But Paradise is a unique place. You have no outside

0:35:02.960 --> 0:35:06.799
<v Speaker 2>you know this, right, I mean there's no outside influences. Uh,

0:35:07.080 --> 0:35:10.839
<v Speaker 2>your your match or your your your connection is is

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:13.040
<v Speaker 2>there for just you and to get to know just

0:35:13.160 --> 0:35:16.560
<v Speaker 2>you until the next guy or girl arrives, right, And

0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:21.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe there's some be but it's it's an atmosphere that

0:35:21.239 --> 0:35:24.319
<v Speaker 2>you're never gonna get ever again, right, unless you go

0:35:24.360 --> 0:35:25.120
<v Speaker 2>back to Paradise.

0:35:25.960 --> 0:35:28.839
<v Speaker 1>Are you guys at this point from what we've seen,

0:35:28.880 --> 0:35:32.399
<v Speaker 1>are you guys exclusive? If if anyone else walks down,

0:35:32.440 --> 0:35:33.719
<v Speaker 1>have you guys had that conversation?

0:35:34.400 --> 0:35:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? And we we showed Hannah coming down to the

0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:42.000
<v Speaker 2>beach and she had pulled Braydon and I and she'd

0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:44.759
<v Speaker 2>asked me point blank are you happy? Like are you?

0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Are you up for a date? And I just straight

0:35:47.920 --> 0:35:51.080
<v Speaker 2>up told her like I'm right now, I'm stoked with Sam. Yeah,

0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:54.799
<v Speaker 2>And the answer is no, Like I'm probably would say

0:35:54.800 --> 0:35:58.480
<v Speaker 2>no to a date at this point. I mean, it

0:35:58.520 --> 0:36:01.719
<v Speaker 2>would do it would It would do us an injustice

0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:04.640
<v Speaker 2>by only knowing her for three or four days to

0:36:04.800 --> 0:36:08.480
<v Speaker 2>go on another date when we've had like a foundation

0:36:08.560 --> 0:36:10.440
<v Speaker 2>built that no one really saw yet.

0:36:11.239 --> 0:36:12.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you, but there's a lot of people that

0:36:13.800 --> 0:36:17.040
<v Speaker 1>and I I personally think that's that's the right way

0:36:17.040 --> 0:36:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to do paradise if if you do feel something with someone,

0:36:20.239 --> 0:36:24.239
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of people don't follow that playbook. As

0:36:24.280 --> 0:36:30.160
<v Speaker 1>we see, are you so Sam? She hasn't She hasn't

0:36:30.200 --> 0:36:31.960
<v Speaker 1>been able to go to the bathroom for ten days.

0:36:32.120 --> 0:36:36.000
<v Speaker 1>But all you know, and there's some lightheartedness and some

0:36:36.120 --> 0:36:39.400
<v Speaker 1>jokes about it, but in all seriousness, she may have

0:36:39.719 --> 0:36:42.200
<v Speaker 1>to go home. And that's pretty much what she's telling you.

0:36:43.000 --> 0:36:46.240
<v Speaker 1>What's going through your mind? You know, she goes home?

0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Are you going home? If she goes home? Women have

0:36:49.640 --> 0:36:50.880
<v Speaker 1>the roses what happens?

0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:54.239
<v Speaker 2>Like what yeah, in my mind. You know, the first

0:36:54.280 --> 0:36:56.360
<v Speaker 2>thing that came up was a dad joke like what

0:36:56.440 --> 0:37:01.160
<v Speaker 2>a shit situation? Obviously, and you know, after Sam had

0:37:01.200 --> 0:37:06.239
<v Speaker 2>mentioned she may be going home, I thought, you know,

0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:10.200
<v Speaker 2>I there's no one else on this beach that I

0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:10.920
<v Speaker 2>can't fake shit.

0:37:11.040 --> 0:37:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Dude, all right, well, let's gonna stop you. I'm gonna

0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:17.399
<v Speaker 1>stop you right there because we just don't know. Let's

0:37:21.520 --> 0:37:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Just just from that. Let's let's wait because I actually
