Speaker 2: I personally think it's going to be a fantastic show.

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I'm one of eleven other stars.

15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: There's all the stars. In my mind. You are the

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 3: star of this show. It's like a proud father. Yeah.

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: You're gonna be competing on the new HGTV show Bachelor

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: Mansion Takeover. Can you explain to all the listeners what

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: exactly this is?

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it's a pretty straightforward concepts, right.

21
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 4: They got twelve past contestants from the Bachelor Bachelor app

22
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 4: all with either like design or DIY or construction backgrounds

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 4: and put us all together and let us compete I

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 4: guess with designing rooms. So like the first challenge, we

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 4: get sent into teams and we have to design the

26
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 4: bedroom areas.

27
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: While working in a team. And it was really fun

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 3: because I like that stuff.

29
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: I like diy, I like building, I like taking risks

30
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: when it comes to like designing things, and so it

31
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 4: was fun to be part of that.

32
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: The I think the show will be well received. I

33
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: do think it's a fun concept. My one question is,

34
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: how would they ever do a season two?

35
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: I was asking them that the exact same question, and

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: they're like, well, shoot, if it's successful enough, we'll just

37
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: rip all this stuff out.

38
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: That's pretty cool. That's wild.

39
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: Yeah. So yeah, I'm excited to watch it.

40
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, like.

41
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 4: So interesting because when I went on the Bachelorette the

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 4: first time, I had never watched a Bachelorette And obviously

43
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 4: I've never watched the show because it's never this is

44
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 4: the only scenes as they've ever ever done of it.

45
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 4: So I always try to like temper my expectations when

46
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 4: it comes to watching it, and especially now this time around,

47
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 4: now that I'm married and my life is all set

48
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 4: up in Colorado and all that stuff, it's weird being

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 4: back on a television show because I just give way

50
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: less f's for lack of a better word, you know,

51
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 4: and for better or for worse. I'm not sure if

52
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 4: it's gonna hurt me or help me. But it was

53
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 4: just fun to like mess around and have some fun.

54
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: And you enjoyed the experience overall. Would you say you

55
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: had a good time overall?

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was great.

57
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: I mean I can't give too much information obviously, otherwise

58
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 4: my nda will be you know.

59
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: But you can tell me if you had a good

60
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: good time or not. Yeah.

61
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 4: I was gonna go give specific examples of like how

62
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 4: or why I had a good time and stuff.

63
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, I had a great time. It was fun.

64
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: Like I said, I like building and I like thinking

65
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 4: and creating, and so I got to do all that.

66
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: There.

67
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: Fans right now are excited about this show coming out.

68
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: But I do think there is a group of fans

69
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: we're a little nervous because they love this iconic mansion.

70
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: They've watched it, they've celebrated it, they love the mansion.

71
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 3: Do you feel like the show respects.

72
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: And honors how this mansion has always been perceived or

73
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: will fans have to get ready for a brand new look.

74
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, great question, Ben.

75
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: I think that the contestants of the show really did

76
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: a good job with taking everything into consideration with the house.

77
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: The house was about like like a Spanish style architecture,

78
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 4: and at least the challenges that I remember. I do

79
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 4: think everyone took all that into consideration and did their

80
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: best effort to maintain but just improve.

81
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: It is a competition show, and you are very talented.

82
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: If you follow Dean on social media or Kaelan on

83
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: social media, see some of the projects that Dean has

84
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: completed and worked on for their home, and he is

85
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: spectacular when it comes to carpentry design, that creative kind

86
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: of part of the brain that so many of us lack.

87
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: But if this is a competition show, are you a

88
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: competitive person?

89
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah?

90
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 4: I mean I grew up with two older brothers, so

91
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 4: I've kind of got this weird dilemma in my life

92
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 4: when it comes to competitiveness is I'm super competitive. I

93
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 4: always want to win, but because I have two older brothers,

94
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 4: I always lost growing up. So I'm so competitive, but

95
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 4: I am so comfortable losing. And it's just like this

96
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 4: weird catch twenty two. I feel like right where I

97
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 4: try so hard to win but I rarely ever do,

98
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 4: and I do think that the competitive nature for all

99
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 4: of the contestants on this show really shine through. It's

100
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 4: gonna be interesting. Like I've been watching Traders right this

101
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 4: new season Traders for the first time, and they're like

102
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: way more cutthroat on that show than I think we

103
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 4: were on this show. Like this is an HGTV renovation show,

104
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 4: so I don't really watch a lot of television to

105
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: begin with, so that's kind of all I have to

106
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 4: really compare it to. But I'm pretty sure everyone was

107
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 4: very competitive on that show, to the point where it

108
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 4: was like.

109
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: People were yelling, some people were crying.

110
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 4: Some people were fighting, And you know, it's hard when

111
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 4: so many people are working together on a small space

112
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 4: to get your idea out there and on top because

113
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 4: other people are gonna have different ideas that they're going

114
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 4: to disagree with yours and you have to fight for years.

115
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 4: And it was just a really interesting dynamic because typically

116
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 4: the only person I have to fight with on a

117
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: design idea is my wife, and she wins one hundred

118
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 4: percent of the time. So you know, it's gonna be

119
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 4: fun to watch.

120
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: I think the concept for the show it feels like

121
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: the show will work if people take ownership in the process.

122
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: Was there a moment during the filming of the show where.

123
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 2: You're like, Okay, people actually care to make this not

124
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: only great because I want to win, but great because

125
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: we're enjoying the idea that we're on.

126
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: A television show to renovate. Yeah.

127
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: I mean it was really interesting to see everyone was

128
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 4: basically taking because you know, we would be done filming

129
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 4: the show at by like seven pm, let's say, for example,

130
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 4: and at nine pm I'd bump into people like on

131
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 4: their laptops coming up with skews and ideas for this competition,

132
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 4: and I was like, wow, you guys are really like

133
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 4: taking this home and doing your homework and trying really hard.

134
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 4: And I'm like sitting at the bar drinking some whiskey. Yeah,

135
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 4: I should probably try a little bit harder for this.

136
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

137
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of ownership I think that a

138
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 4: lot of those people had, And it's just it's hard

139
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 4: when you're when you're filming that all day and then

140
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 4: to come home and and obsessed about it even more

141
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 4: because then you're like just so involved in it, you know.

142
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is something that obviously people from all seasons

143
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: of the Bachelor and Bachelorette and Golden Bachelor were part of.

144
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: Was there somebody that you connected to specifically that you

145
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: could share maybe that you didn't really know before the show.

146
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't really know any of the contestants before

147
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: the show. The only one I had spent even a

148
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: little bit of time with was Noah, and that was

149
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 4: like we golfed together twice when we both lived in California.

150
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 4: I really, I mean, I like the guys just because

151
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: kind of like what we talked about last night, it's

152
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 4: like a bit of a fraternity, right, you kind of

153
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: bond over your shared experiences. I think Jill and I

154
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 4: got along great. I think Jill's awesome. She's hilarious, right,

155
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 4: and she's just such a wild card. And it's kind

156
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 4: of fun to be around those types of people because

157
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 4: you never know what they're going to say.

158
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 3: Next, and so I enjoyed that a lot.

159
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, I will say for a renovation show,

160
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 4: there's a lot more drama than I expected there to be.

161
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: What was the most challenging part for you filming this?

162
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 4: I mean it's I'm sure you feel this way sometimes

163
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 4: because you travel quite a bit when you when you

164
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 4: embark on a new like trip or whatever, for especially

165
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 4: something like this for an unknown amount of time. You

166
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 4: you start by being really excited about it, and by like,

167
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 4: especially now that you have a daughter, I can only

168
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: imagine how much worse it is for you. But by

169
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 4: like the third or fourth day, you're like, man, I

170
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 4: just miss my miss my wife, I miss my dog,

171
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 4: my cat, my home. And I feel like the older

172
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 4: I get, the more I kind of like being home more,

173
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: and so being away from home for however long it

174
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 4: might have been the biggest challenge.

175
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, it's a new that's a new thing

176
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 2: for me. Yeah, as I've gotten older, it wasn't a problem.

177
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: When I was in my twenties. I could have been

178
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: gone for months without a problem. Now four days feels

179
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 2: like a year. Yeah, and I could understand how that

180
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: would be difficult.

181
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 3: It was. It was nice.

182
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: I think this show was different than obviously all the

183
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 4: ones that I've already done before this, but other maybe

184
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 4: competition style shows too, because we got our phones at

185
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 4: the end of the night, so I could like call

186
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 4: Kaylin or you know, I can still be kind of

187
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 4: updated with what's going on with her life, so at

188
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 4: least I was still connected and attached to the home,

189
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 4: to my home, I guess. But it's just, you know,

190
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 4: you sometimes just want to be there.

191
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 2: You One of the things that have always I think

192
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: fans have admired about you, but also sometimes made fans

193
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: a little bit sad is that you have never like

194
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: pushed and desired to be on television, Like fame was

195
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: never your pursuit in all of this. It was a

196
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: good experience, a good story. But this puts you back

197
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: on television again, and knowing you and your skill set,

198
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: you will shine on this show and your personality. You're

199
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: good on TV, You're fun to watch. Did being a

200
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: part of the show make you have a desire to

201
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: go back on TV again?

202
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 4: I think I think we all, having done the original shows,

203
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 4: kind of always have a desire for going back on

204
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 4: TV in whatever capacity.

205
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 3: It is.

206
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 4: Like I never necessarily didn't want to go back on TV.

207
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 4: I just didn't really put the effort into getting back

208
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 4: on a TV.

209
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: You know.

210
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: That was kind of my point, just saying like a

211
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 2: nicer way.

212
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 4: Like I I'm a big advocate for letting the universe

213
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 4: come to you, I guess. And then the show just

214
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: kind of fell into my lap, which was great. But no,

215
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 4: I'll be I filmed a new TV show every single

216
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: year if they asked me to. So you're glad you

217
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: did this. I'll tell you after the season's over, because

218
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 4: I was a real bitch sometimes and I don't know

219
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 4: if it was gonna be received.

220
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 3: Well, Oh goodness. A couple of questions written in from

221
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 3: our listeners.

222
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: Really one here for anyone listening who's intimidated by doing

223
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: a DIY project at their own home, what advice do

224
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 2: you have for them?

225
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: It's a really good question, Ben or whoever asked that question.

226
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 4: I suppose, Yeah, I mean I didn't. I didn't even

227
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 4: know how to use like a skill saw until about

228
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 4: seven or eight years ago. And I think it just

229
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 4: like slowly getting more confident with the tools has helped

230
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 4: me a lot. Like I remember when I when I

231
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: first started to probably like built Kalen a bench in

232
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 4: her apartment in California, and I was like scared I

233
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 4: was gonna chop all my fingers off the first time

234
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 4: I built something, you know, And now it's like I'm

235
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 4: like using a table saw and the minersaw at the

236
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 4: same time, which is obviously super dangerous, But I just

237
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 4: I think building a confidence a confidence skill set with

238
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 4: your tools is really good. And then when it comes

239
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 4: to like our house, because I've done a lot of

240
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 4: renovations in our own home and in my van, and

241
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 4: I think the most important thing is to be willing

242
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 4: to fail a lot. And I've kind of stopped pursuing

243
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 4: perfection a lot too, because at first I held myself

244
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 4: so accountable for a perfect product, and I'm just not

245
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 4: good enough to ever receee or to take get a

246
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 4: perfect finish on anything. So I just kind of have

247
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 4: started telling Kalen everything I build has rustic charm to it.

248
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's a little bit easier that way.

249
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 4: So if you're thinking about getting into like the DII stuff,

250
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 4: and the reason I even got into it in the

251
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 4: first place was just because, especially in Colorado, like labor

252
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 4: is so expensive. Sure, so if I can save on

253
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 4: the labor and just spend a little bit more on

254
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 4: the material or the tools or whatever it is, then

255
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 4: it's like my girl math brain is doing. I'm like, oh,

256
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 4: I saved us twenty thousand dollars on this, you know,

257
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 4: and that part has been really nice, because you know,

258
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 4: you save money, you're learn any skill, you have fun,

259
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 4: and your wife is proud of you.

260
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: Most of the time. She's always pready.

261
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking to your wife as we close up here,

262
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: give us any updates on you and Kaylen.

263
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: How have you been doing, how's the relationship? What's going on? Yeah,

264
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 3: we're doing good. Thanks for asking.

265
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 4: I don't I don't really have much of an update

266
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 4: for anyone in any aspect, but I think I think

267
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 4: things are good.

268
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 3: You might have to ask her. She might have a

269
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 3: different answer.

270
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,800

Speaker 3: What do we do?

284
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: We would probably rip out some carpet and lay down

285
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: some hardwoods.

286
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,120
