Speaker 1: What's going on? Everyone, It's Anissa Ferrera. Hey, friends and cousin,
Speaker 1: it's me Davion Rogers and this is MTV's official Challenge podcast.
Speaker 1: Oh that episode, I know. I love this one. The
Speaker 1: trickery and the invasion of free thinkers. Yes, yes, it's
Speaker 1: so good to finally watch the tables shake just a
Speaker 1: little bit. Like you said, it's only two of them,
Speaker 1: but they're trying to shake them. Okay, they trying to
Speaker 1: their four legs on a table and two are coming off,
Speaker 1: but will fall. Danny and Sarah having alsenda and they're
Speaker 1: trying to get it done. I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 1: in future episodes we see some other people getting on
Speaker 1: that train. Yeah, I believe it. I kind of hope so,
Speaker 1: because I want to see what it looks like to
Speaker 1: play the game again, because people I'm playing for a
Speaker 1: while and don't have, you know, the ability to kind
Speaker 1: of like go astray because of the relationships they built.
Speaker 1: These people don't give a shit, they don't owe you anything,
Speaker 1: they don't know you at all, and they're going to
Speaker 1: play their game. And then at any time, girl, oh girl,
Speaker 1: I know what was that running chat? I would have
Speaker 1: been in the back. We would have been out we
Speaker 1: just watching it. Girl. I was like, maybe I would
Speaker 1: have made the first run because I'm fast, y'all know
Speaker 1: that I told you like little speeds. I could do
Speaker 1: speedy stuff for you know, a couple of yards. But
Speaker 1: that wall started coming down. I got nervous. You're reminded
Speaker 1: me of Saw or like some weird hit closing on
Speaker 1: you and you die. Yes. Yes, even when I think
Speaker 1: when Jody got out her head it was smashing her head,
Speaker 1: I freaked out because my leg is the door would
Speaker 1: have come, the gate would have come unhinged, and that
Speaker 1: would have been the end of me. My head would
Speaker 1: have been on one side, my body on the other.
Speaker 1: Social Media would have been like, uh, Anisa got another injury.
Speaker 1: Anissa has no neck. I just had no head. But
Speaker 1: she'll be back right. One thing he needs to gonna
Speaker 1: do is get recovered and come back girl. Okay, period. Yes,
Speaker 1: this was such such a great episode. I was excited
Speaker 1: watching that conversation between Danny and Bananas, where you know,
Speaker 1: Bananas was giving him the Bananas talk and Danny was like,
Speaker 1: I really don't care about what you're talking about right now,
Speaker 1: right with us, like it is what it is. We're
Speaker 1: gonna do what we're gonna do. So if you get within,
Speaker 1: get gone right. He did not care at all. He's like,
Speaker 1: I care you are how many times you've won, But
Speaker 1: I'm trying to win this show period, because too, I
Speaker 1: feel like Johnny has a bit of that, like, I
Speaker 1: don't care. I want to win this show as well
Speaker 1: by any means necessary, and I'm gonna do what I
Speaker 1: need to do and we'll talk about it later or whatever.
Speaker 1: We won't but I'm gonna do whatever, talk about it later.
Speaker 1: But that's fine because if I have five hundred thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: we don't really need to talk about anything about nothing
Speaker 1: unless you can point me into the direction of the
Speaker 1: nearest bank. That's the only thing where can I make investments. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. Yes, this was such a great episode and
Speaker 1: I'm so excited that we get to talk about it today. Now,
Speaker 1: before we even get into anything that's going on in
Speaker 1: this episode, we have our segment of our king or
Speaker 1: Queen of the world, and then we also have someone
Speaker 1: who is on another planet. I need sometime. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go ahead and toss it to you, as I always
Speaker 1: do that King or queen of the world in this episode.
Speaker 1: You know what, I gotta give it to Zara. She
Speaker 1: went hard and she's on the smaller side. I have
Speaker 1: hung out with her in per and she packs a punch.
Speaker 1: She has a little bite size ball of energy. But
Speaker 1: she is a gazette. She was like a tiger. She
Speaker 1: was out fearless, and she didn't give a shit. She
Speaker 1: was like I so red. I was like, get it, Zara,
Speaker 1: get it, Zaza. You little and she loves to run,
Speaker 1: so like this was like her challenge and I love
Speaker 1: that she got to shine in this movement. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought it was I thought it was a good look
Speaker 1: for her. Definitely a good look for her because you know,
Speaker 1: Tory is big. You know Tory Tori stacked. She stacked. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And so for Zara to be like it is what
Speaker 1: it is like, I'm not worried. I don't stack all.
Speaker 1: You won't, right, And Danny was like, I'm about to
Speaker 1: crush all of y'all. Danny was like, move out of
Speaker 1: the way because it was like it looked like the
Speaker 1: walls got thinner. Yeah, everybody got in there and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the walls started closing in and I
Speaker 1: was like is anyone worried about like is it gonna
Speaker 1: get smaller? Dying? Are we gonna die? I would have
Speaker 1: had to say, I would have had to sign something
Speaker 1: that when THEO was smashed up against the gate, that
Speaker 1: would have been it for me. That I think it
Speaker 1: was Justine maybe who said I've had nightmares about this,
Speaker 1: grow me too, because what has happened and what was
Speaker 1: the smoke idea for what was the reason? And I
Speaker 1: thought I was like, oh my god, not tear gas.
Speaker 1: Like I got triggered. I'm like this, this is too much.
Speaker 1: This is a movie and I want to get out right.
Speaker 1: You know what, Black people die first, like I have
Speaker 1: been gone. I would have tripped and they would have
Speaker 1: killed me. And by the looks of this challenge, I
Speaker 1: would have let them. It's no struggle. We gotta do
Speaker 1: nothing that I from. Go ahead and go no horror music, nothing,
Speaker 1: just let me go. There's no surprise here. Bam, I'm dead.
Speaker 1: But yes, on another planet. I don't even know if
Speaker 1: I want to mention this person, but west these stories
Speaker 1: that this man told this episode. I wanted to know
Speaker 1: if he thought he was on the same planet as us,
Speaker 1: because I felt like I was on a different one
Speaker 1: watching it. These stories, these stories I've called that man
Speaker 1: Rumple steal skin, and I'm gonna stick beside it. I'm
Speaker 1: going to stick a man of a thousand tails. I
Speaker 1: will say he does have the ability to persuade a
Speaker 1: lot of people, but a lot of these people don't
Speaker 1: give a shit. They were like, you know, as it's
Speaker 1: quite the storyteller. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, it's
Speaker 1: like ASoP tables, Yes, get him out of here. My
Speaker 1: king Okay, so I have a king and a queen,
Speaker 1: so my king of the world is TJ. I want
Speaker 1: to give a shout out to our TJ for being
Speaker 1: inducted in to the BMX Hall of Fame. Gratulation CJ
Speaker 1: like if anybody deserved it, it's you. It's you. So
Speaker 1: we're so, oh my goodness, and then say blood sweating
Speaker 1: tears into something, blood sweating tears. Okay, just died and
Speaker 1: the new came back to host Man Man, I'll never
Speaker 1: forget that episode. I was watching it when he came out.
Speaker 1: I was like, we were so emotional. I'm like, I've
Speaker 1: never seen somebody have to learn how to walk and
Speaker 1: talk and count and all of that shit again and
Speaker 1: be like, you know what, I gotta go back to
Speaker 1: host the challenge. The kids need me, and we did.
Speaker 1: And then when he was giving his speech, he shouted
Speaker 1: out the Childnge family. I thought that was so sweet
Speaker 1: because he didn't have to do that. So I thought
Speaker 1: that was so sweet. No, he could have been like,
Speaker 1: shout out to myself for all of all periods that
Speaker 1: I have done great in my life. Okay, she'll be back,
Speaker 1: wife and my kid and my dogs like period. So
Speaker 1: I want to give us who's the queen, the queen
Speaker 1: of this episode, I'm gonna have to give it to Naya.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna have to give it to Naya. Because
Speaker 1: opening up about yourself, especially being a person whose life
Speaker 1: is being viewed on a microscope, us being in these
Speaker 1: on these TV shows, people like dig and dig and
Speaker 1: dig and always have something to say about us. So
Speaker 1: to take a moment to be vulnerable and to tell
Speaker 1: some truth about yourself, that's always something to be congratulated,
Speaker 1: something to be recognized. And so thank you for being
Speaker 1: you unapologetically and for sharing your story with us because
Speaker 1: you didn't have to. So thank you for that, for
Speaker 1: taking that time to just say this is something that
Speaker 1: I experience, and if you're experiencing this too, this is
Speaker 1: how you can get help. This is how you can overcome.
Speaker 1: This is what I did. Like, you never know what
Speaker 1: other people have going on. And I'm a firm believer
Speaker 1: that you are a walking testimony. Your testimony is somebody
Speaker 1: else's deliverance and you don't even know until you open
Speaker 1: your mouth. And so thank you for the people that
Speaker 1: you are going to help and not even know, like
Speaker 1: I thought were so brave of her. Yeah, and she
Speaker 1: also did it on Instagram. I reposted that and she
Speaker 1: went into like a full on, like hour of a
Speaker 1: deally detailed experience with it. Yeah, And it has to
Speaker 1: be hard to want to say it because I feel
Speaker 1: like people feel silly for even getting addicted to it
Speaker 1: and that it got so far, but showing all of
Speaker 1: those vulnerable parts and saying like hey, people, like I
Speaker 1: know it seems safer than smoking, but like this shit
Speaker 1: sucks too, and I really feared for my life, like
Speaker 1: that's a serious thing. Yeah, and it was on the show. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I didn't. I'm gonna take care of my body now, right,
Speaker 1: you know, stop being lazy and stop making excuses like
Speaker 1: that was a very real moment because I mean, I
Speaker 1: just I just love the woman that she's become. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so good to see somebody's journey from beginning to well,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say in because I'm sure this is
Speaker 1: far from the infraence, right, but you know, just to
Speaker 1: watch the journey of their reality TV life, you know,
Speaker 1: And I just I I feel like this was very informative,
Speaker 1: especially for me because, like I was saying earlier, I
Speaker 1: didn't even know that people could get addicted to I
Speaker 1: don't I'm not, you know, but I didn't know that
Speaker 1: people could get addicted to that, And so her bringing
Speaker 1: that up, you know, sparked my antennas and I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: I had no clue. So I just it was a
Speaker 1: really good moment. Thank you NIA for having that. On
Speaker 1: another planet, Rumplestiltskin, I want to get there, you know.
Speaker 1: And and you know what's so crazy, it's not just
Speaker 1: us who think he's on another planet. Obviously the editors
Speaker 1: do too, because they made that whole segment to show
Speaker 1: you're not a here, You're not here, you can't be here,
Speaker 1: There's no way you can be here like Mars Jupiter,
Speaker 1: not that they can't even find that one anymore. You're
Speaker 1: not here another planet that they've named. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it was a funny little montage. Definitely was
Speaker 1: so yeah that that that's mine. But this episode, oh
Speaker 1: and he said, you want to tell them about that?
Speaker 1: What they have to look forward to next? In this
Speaker 1: episode which part of our podcast, Sorry, we get to
Speaker 1: actually speak to Naya about this episode, this elimination, her
Speaker 1: partnership with Rodrigo, and what it was like going back
Speaker 1: to the challenge after having a little break, you know.
Speaker 1: And she has a super super busy life, flying everywhere
Speaker 1: and cooking great things. So yeah, we have Naya up next,
Speaker 1: So don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with our
Speaker 1: interview with Naya's coming up next. You guys, I am
Speaker 1: super excited about this interview. We are interviewing one of
Speaker 1: my faves. I finally got a chance to meet her.
Speaker 1: Please give it up, ladies and gentlemen, cousins and friends
Speaker 1: and family for thee and I am more Yeah, thank you, lady,
Speaker 1: thank you for having me. I am just like so
Speaker 1: excited for this because for one, I love the podcast
Speaker 1: and too, I just had no idea that my asked
Speaker 1: to be back in the space to even be invited.
Speaker 1: So I'm like all about that. Have fun with you guys.
Speaker 1: We actually even talked about it earlier, like just the
Speaker 1: gross yeah All Stars was the growth, but like there's
Speaker 1: even more. It's like growth on growth, which is so
Speaker 1: nice because I feel like we rarely see what's on
Speaker 1: the other side of that, because they don't give everybody
Speaker 1: that chance to then be like, hey, I was human
Speaker 1: and I made a mistake and now not the same person,
Speaker 1: and I think you are the epitome of just like
Speaker 1: accountability and growth and just like that was then and
Speaker 1: this is now, and we should be able to have
Speaker 1: these moments where we allow space for people to change. Yeah, grow,
Speaker 1: Yeah I am. I feel like that's the most important
Speaker 1: part of whatever legacy I may have, is the redemption
Speaker 1: story and just giving people grace, you know, Like I
Speaker 1: feel like in the seven year Hiatus I had from
Speaker 1: the show, I gave myself brace. I had to, and
Speaker 1: the transformation I was able to make was just from
Speaker 1: holding myself accountable and realizing I was the common denominator
Speaker 1: in all of my problems and deciding, Okay, do I
Speaker 1: want to be in denial about this and continue on
Speaker 1: a path of burning bridges and self sabotage, or do
Speaker 1: I want to like sit down, realize that I have
Speaker 1: a problem, that everybody has problems, and do the work, Like,
Speaker 1: do the fucking work. I mean therapy. It's one of
Speaker 1: those things that I will always recommend because it really
Speaker 1: just change the trajectory of my life. And I'm thankful
Speaker 1: that MTV and that the network has decided to showcase
Speaker 1: that because, like you said, Anissa, we don't always get
Speaker 1: those like full circle redemption stories told on our behalf,
Speaker 1: so I must never get the opportunities. I'm thankful that
Speaker 1: I've had the opportunity and the growth is real. You
Speaker 1: can't fake this ship like I period. You can't like
Speaker 1: there's no way that I could be faking it, you know, um,
Speaker 1: because of just who I was at once upon a
Speaker 1: time in this I was a wild banshee and you
Speaker 1: can't tell me different. You know, I couldn't tell nice
Speaker 1: ship and then she would read you for filth. And
Speaker 1: now I feel like you take those moments to be like,
Speaker 1: this isn't a battle that I know they don't want,
Speaker 1: but I am incapable of actually producing at this point
Speaker 1: like this isn't going to serve me. Yeah, so these
Speaker 1: days I'm walking away for the both of us, right right, right?
Speaker 1: And the self sabotage thing was real too, Like it
Speaker 1: was emotional for me to watch all this because I
Speaker 1: was like, you recognize behaviors in yourself too, you know,
Speaker 1: as much as we want to be, you know, these
Speaker 1: great characters not you know, be our truest selves. Like
Speaker 1: there are these moments where we're like, yeah, I really
Speaker 1: mess that up for me, Yeah, I knew there was
Speaker 1: nobody else. There's not one person to blame. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that resonated with me. It's inspiring actually, because it's very
Speaker 1: easy to say this person did this, this person did that.
Speaker 1: But to actually stand in the mirror and point the
Speaker 1: finger at yourself and be like, yeah, however, you let's
Speaker 1: do it's a whole different ball game, right, And so
Speaker 1: it's very encouraging and it's inspiring, and I hope that
Speaker 1: motivates other people to do the same because I had
Speaker 1: to do it too when I because in my mind
Speaker 1: it was everybody wrong and that's why you acting like
Speaker 1: you acted. But a lot of reunions with Dave von
Speaker 1: popping off a little bit right. It was wrong as hell,
Speaker 1: like you were right with something wrong. Yes, so I
Speaker 1: want to dive into this episode, but we cannot get
Speaker 1: this episode going without hitting that rewind button. I have
Speaker 1: to know what are your thoughts. You're a point of
Speaker 1: view on the Killian and john a situation just this yesterday,
Speaker 1: because mind you so listen, I'll be sleeper on the
Speaker 1: same floor me and those girls are working together. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking everything is kosher between us, all of us. But
Speaker 1: I started realizing very quickly that wait a minute, John
Speaker 1: Aye and Kelley Anne got some lingering little aftertaste from
Speaker 1: whatever happened on All Stars three or All Stars too.
Speaker 1: I don't know there was like this thing going on,
Speaker 1: but I just try to stay out of it because
Speaker 1: one of the one areas where I used to fuck
Speaker 1: up on the challenge was I was trying to fight
Speaker 1: up people's battles. Oh, so you know what I said,
Speaker 1: I have to remove myself from this. I can't allow
Speaker 1: you to like dump all of this gossip and shit
Speaker 1: on my lap when Johnny is an earshot and it's
Speaker 1: not my battle. So I just kind of avoided it,
Speaker 1: like anytime she would come up to me and like
Speaker 1: I want to talk about it. I would act like
Speaker 1: I had to go take a shit or something, or
Speaker 1: like yeah, I was just trying to get out. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be in the middle of this.
Speaker 1: This isn't my battle, and I'm already got my work
Speaker 1: cut out for me. My partner is holding the back
Speaker 1: of his leg every time we do anything. I am
Speaker 1: not physically prepared for this challenge, so I'm trying to
Speaker 1: just not put a target on our back and just
Speaker 1: stay out the drama. And it was just really awkward,
Speaker 1: and then seeing it play back on the show, I
Speaker 1: didn't know that they were having those in depth conversations
Speaker 1: at all, and like, I didn't know that there were
Speaker 1: things that, you know, Kelly Ynne felt reassured that, like
Speaker 1: there's no way Johnny's gonna say my name. I didn't
Speaker 1: know that that was the case, because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, yeah, like we're all just trying to
Speaker 1: get the same bag of money out of each other's hand.
Speaker 1: So at some point you are going to upset your
Speaker 1: friend right here, You're gonna do it in the beginning,
Speaker 1: a you're gonna do it in the end, which one's
Speaker 1: gonna sting more, I don't know, but like it's just
Speaker 1: an inevitable part of the game, and so I just
Speaker 1: try not to get emotionally invested in it. Like I
Speaker 1: prepared myself for Jordan might have to say my name
Speaker 1: just going to the game, thinking that may happen, so
Speaker 1: that you're not like, yeah, what you did that? But
Speaker 1: Jordan's so honest, Like that's a whole other right, But
Speaker 1: I just prepared myself for a worst case scenario. Already,
Speaker 1: get your emotions in check, right, And so with Kelly
Speaker 1: Anne and John Nay, I wasn't privy to if Johnny
Speaker 1: actually said, Hey, I'm not saying your name, And depending
Speaker 1: on how you translate their conversations, it's like they like
Speaker 1: John Ay was kind of skating around certain words and
Speaker 1: promises and then yeah, Dan seemed to be trying to
Speaker 1: get her to verbally acknowledge it on camera something. And
Speaker 1: I just think that what they weren't meeting having a
Speaker 1: meeting of minds of that, and obviously the one wanted
Speaker 1: to do with the other one, like one didn't want
Speaker 1: to hear it and the other one didn't want to
Speaker 1: say it, and that's what it came to which I
Speaker 1: think it's hard to hurt your friend's feelings when your
Speaker 1: agendas don't line up in a game to win money.
Speaker 1: So exactly, it's just a complicated, unnatural situation where in
Speaker 1: any other case this would not be happening. And you
Speaker 1: know what, I also think, like I adore John Nay,
Speaker 1: I think that maybe she was also being trying to
Speaker 1: be considered of what her partner would want, and then
Speaker 1: she was also listening to her advisors to you know,
Speaker 1: I was going to west for like, oh that's who
Speaker 1: the advisor is. Well, we listened. You know, I'm a
Speaker 1: big fan of Weston Bergman, Hey, like that is my guy.
Speaker 1: I know his reputation, I know that he is an assassin,
Speaker 1: but I just trust his advice because I feel like
Speaker 1: he thinks that I'm just not a factor. So it's
Speaker 1: like I'm in a good spot where people are just
Speaker 1: aren't like true truly evil. Okay, I get I get
Speaker 1: what you're yeah. Yeah, So but to your point with
Speaker 1: the Kelly and john A thing, it was really uncomfortable
Speaker 1: to watch it back and to see all the details
Speaker 1: of that because I adored them both and I hated
Speaker 1: that they were even in that space from day one,
Speaker 1: and people were watching, people were watching that beef brow
Speaker 1: and it just it was like not good for business,
Speaker 1: right right. I would have loved to be a fly
Speaker 1: on the wall on the ride back from the elimination.
Speaker 1: Was there any tension or anything that that happened or
Speaker 1: was it like this weird awkward silence? I mean it
Speaker 1: usually is when the person you didn't want to come
Speaker 1: back in the house comes back, right, So it was
Speaker 1: definitely an awkward energy in the house. And then you know,
Speaker 1: Kelly An was turned up when she walked in, like
Speaker 1: you know, she was like y'all, like you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like she already knew the time what she
Speaker 1: knew that there was a But that's what it is though.
Speaker 1: That's how you come back after you get voted in
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh huh, yeah, I'm help and then
Speaker 1: everyone's like trying to help you with your bags and shit,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you didn't care before, but do we not live?
Speaker 1: L is like has the boss to really say a
Speaker 1: little shit like that, and to like Ma's always always
Speaker 1: been like that, She'll just turn over and be like
Speaker 1: a niece. So you're really voting that way. I thought
Speaker 1: we talked about something different. I'm like, like, when she said,
Speaker 1: you know, I can tell that you guys are clearly
Speaker 1: trying to keep all the good teams here, or so
Speaker 1: she said something, and then everybody she was like, So
Speaker 1: I don't know, like maybe you guys want all the
Speaker 1: good teams here at the end, but like, I don't,
Speaker 1: like I live for that moment. But I feel like
Speaker 1: she was seen as a threat too. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: that's how Johnny kind of made it seemed like her
Speaker 1: and Jody like I don't want either one of them,
Speaker 1: And to be honest, I don't want to run against
Speaker 1: them in the final either, unless it's all puzzles and
Speaker 1: and other things. Yeah, but it's just no. But there
Speaker 1: are a lot of women there that are really really strong. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's a stack because everybody's good, you know, and
Speaker 1: I don't think we've seen everyone's strengths yet. You know,
Speaker 1: we're not we're not even in there yet. Yeah. Yeah, Now,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about your partner? Not present day,
Speaker 1: but let's rewind to the moment he picked you. What
Speaker 1: was that moment? Like, So I was thrilled to be
Speaker 1: his partner because he and I had so much in common,
Speaker 1: even though there was a language barrier, Like I knew
Speaker 1: a little umbequito Espanio, so okay, I was in my
Speaker 1: bilingual bag. And then he's a chef. I'm a cook
Speaker 1: who wants her on TV show? So I was like,
Speaker 1: I love this. I love that, Like he and I
Speaker 1: both love food and cuisine and travel and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: And he just his energy was so infectious. I mean
Speaker 1: I was making for tatas and pinnacleladas and like cooking
Speaker 1: up all of this amazing food with like the groceries
Speaker 1: that the caterer is relieving, and he's just in am
Speaker 1: He had such an amazing energy about him. Um that
Speaker 1: I immediately felt like with all the Argentina's, I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to connect with these people after the show,
Speaker 1: Like facts, I for sure we'll see them again. That
Speaker 1: comes through. I felt like Team Argentina was just all
Speaker 1: the good vibes and the music and the love and
Speaker 1: the culture and fun. And I was like I would
Speaker 1: hang out with him, you know who was honestly like,
Speaker 1: I see why she's such a starlet in Argentina. WHOI
Speaker 1: she pitome of fun. I guess all she gonna do yeah,
Speaker 1: I love her. She looks like so much fun. And
Speaker 1: Claudia was these two like you gotta think Claudia was
Speaker 1: forty five and she was killing challenge Argentina. Yes, mama, yeah,
Speaker 1: but she has kids, like she is a she's stat
Speaker 1: she's strong, she's fast, Like I was just so inspired
Speaker 1: by her and she's like such a she's beautiful too.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, six, Yeah, I love when they're
Speaker 1: around my age where I'm like seeing it can be done. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at this point in the house, going into your episode,
Speaker 1: at this point in the house, there's a clear division
Speaker 1: to us viewers. You know, I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was that way in the house. Was it that way
Speaker 1: in the house. Could you guys feel that there was
Speaker 1: a division happening, especially with the US team being on
Speaker 1: the verge of complete chaos from how how was from
Speaker 1: my point of view, there was divisions happening within same
Speaker 1: countries like it was shit going on, Like okay, you
Speaker 1: haven't even seen in this episode yet or they haven't
Speaker 1: really cast a lens on it, but like there was
Speaker 1: little micro beefs in the Australians amongst themselves, there was
Speaker 1: little microbefs. So Team Australia or or the Australians themselves.
Speaker 1: Australians confused because that also like even though you're on
Speaker 1: their team, like you're all Team Australia, within Team Australia
Speaker 1: is also the Australians that came in together then may
Speaker 1: have their own ideas about how they wanted. Yes that
Speaker 1: I was observing peeping tea from like every room and
Speaker 1: there was these little things that were going on where
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I thought this game
Speaker 1: was all like you know, Kumbaya. Still it is not
Speaker 1: even you haven't even been here five minutes and it's
Speaker 1: not like I just come on. This is Sarah was
Speaker 1: like nope. The first episode, Sarah was like I'm about
Speaker 1: to round up everybody. We're gonna get whoever. And then
Speaker 1: this episode her and Danny are like, we hate every
Speaker 1: single thing. We're gonna let you guys know, we're not
Speaker 1: playing your game. Danny is like I want him to
Speaker 1: run for president. Like Danny is that dude. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you he is the realist I have like le Roy
Speaker 1: Nia Maya, it's some real ones in this little family.
Speaker 1: And Danny, oh my god, like I love this man.
Speaker 1: He is like listen. He never came out of his
Speaker 1: room unless it was to eat. He wasn't key kid
Speaker 1: with nobody. He was about his business. If he went
Speaker 1: on that treadmill, he was. He was on his own
Speaker 1: with his people. He was not there for the bullshit
Speaker 1: and the and the phony Balonni stuff. He let it
Speaker 1: be known, and I just loved that about him. He
Speaker 1: also made it clear like jump here for this bag,
Speaker 1: and if y'all not, then get out of my way.
Speaker 1: That's it. And yeah, why are you throwing other people
Speaker 1: like like when he's talking to Tori, like just throw
Speaker 1: Jordan in. You're my partner. What about that? Yeah? That
Speaker 1: was That was the one riff that was like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: because here's what we know. This is not just Jordan's
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend Tory. This is his ex fiance. This is
Speaker 1: the most recent love of his life. She also has
Speaker 1: a sincere deep loyalty to him. So Danny is fucking
Speaker 1: powerless in the situation like this. It doesn't even matter
Speaker 1: that she is her fate in the game. It is
Speaker 1: I'm more reliant on, more more influential on that aspect.
Speaker 1: She's so indebted to Jordan that there's nothing I can
Speaker 1: do and I'm just gonna have to like rally up
Speaker 1: votes from other people in the house to get Jordan
Speaker 1: out because I can. What we do know is that
Speaker 1: Tory is going to protect him, which of course she is,
Speaker 1: like duh um, I totally understand it, but it just
Speaker 1: was crazy because Danny was like, let's get the strong
Speaker 1: players out, and Tori He's like, yeah, and that's not
Speaker 1: happening on my watch, and I'm not letting. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: you're a guy, you don't want to run a final
Speaker 1: against Jordan, but if he's winning challenges and you're a
Speaker 1: part of his alliance, you kind of want him around
Speaker 1: to protect you. Like it's it's so tangled, all of it.
Speaker 1: It's hard to like move one piece without moving six others. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Danny made a statement where he said that Tory it
Speaker 1: has an allegiance to um Jordan above anybody else, Like
Speaker 1: that's the end all be all, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: I wanted to know because I know you're really close
Speaker 1: with Jordan. Is it the same way for him in
Speaker 1: regards to Tori. I mean, I would like Jordan. He
Speaker 1: plays the game so straight up and he is not
Speaker 1: like if Tori were to say I can't fulfill that
Speaker 1: promise anymore or that expectation. He would not be but
Speaker 1: heard about it. But I think that he would look
Speaker 1: out for her as long as he could. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, he would always consider his game and
Speaker 1: always consider his partner's best interest because they are attached
Speaker 1: to each other and Jordan is there to win at
Speaker 1: the end of the day. Like, I don't think he
Speaker 1: would hand it back to Tori if he had the
Speaker 1: choice too. I think he's of course going to try
Speaker 1: and go get it um. But I think that they
Speaker 1: just would always consider each other. That's the nature of
Speaker 1: I mean, their relationship was at the highest level, Like
Speaker 1: I mean they were going to do life together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that love is never going to be lost. And
Speaker 1: it's almost like they're just a divorced couple. Like you know,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on to your teacups because the tea
Speaker 1: is still coming. But before we go any further, we
Speaker 1: need to take a quick break. We'll be right back
Speaker 1: after this. I want to figure this out daily challenge.
Speaker 1: I miss Okay. It was like worst years of Saw
Speaker 1: come to life. It was like walls closing, gate shuttings.
Speaker 1: I would have just sat and been like for my
Speaker 1: own personal body. I want to protect it. How did
Speaker 1: you feel? Oh god, you know. Let me just preface
Speaker 1: this by saying, you know, when I started doing this,
Speaker 1: I was twenty three. I'm thirty four now. My health
Speaker 1: insurance is very mediocre, like grobb you having to pay
Speaker 1: out a pocket for a lot of shit. So like
Speaker 1: anything that's going to become physical where I could potentially
Speaker 1: get my teeth knocked out or trip and fall, Like,
Speaker 1: I was just like, let me just try to stand
Speaker 1: behind the girls because I can already tell the guys
Speaker 1: are gonna get dirty fast and I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: take an elbow to my nose. So I was kind
Speaker 1: of like hanging out in the back and I was like,
Speaker 1: hopefully I'll be able to, like with my long legs.
Speaker 1: Well that's what I thought. I was like, I hopefully
Speaker 1: I'll be able to like catch up. Girl. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you something, these little girls are so fucking fast.
Speaker 1: They are smoking shit out of me. And there's not
Speaker 1: even a chance in hell that like I'm even coming close.
Speaker 1: Like Zara, she is so fast one hand, but I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now, like she she could probably body slammy,
Speaker 1: like she is so strong even though she's like, what
Speaker 1: maybe a hundred pounds. She's so strong, she's so fast,
Speaker 1: she's so agile. I've never seen any shit like it,
Speaker 1: because when I met her she was so dolled up.
Speaker 1: I just didn't think she was about that life for real.
Speaker 1: And I got I felt about that. All of them has,
Speaker 1: all of those girls are so fierce, and it's just
Speaker 1: like I was. I was in for a rude awakening,
Speaker 1: like real quick. Wow. So how did Rodrigo get hurt?
Speaker 1: The fact that he even tried to do it, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that says a lot about his heart. Yeah, he was
Speaker 1: willing to fight through the pain. He was like, Naya,
Speaker 1: I don't care, Like I can you know, rest when
Speaker 1: I go home. He's like, I'm gonna give you my best.
Speaker 1: And it's just the fact that he was so noble
Speaker 1: about that and willing to sacrifice his body um for
Speaker 1: us in the game. To me, it just says everything
Speaker 1: about him. But I was just also glad that even
Speaker 1: you know, even though we had to leave the game early,
Speaker 1: I really didn't want to see him suffering like that.
Speaker 1: It was hard to watch dude, Like you didn't really
Speaker 1: see it any episode, but like he was grimacing so
Speaker 1: bad that people were turning and like to look away.
Speaker 1: Oh so yeah, And of course it's like some slippery
Speaker 1: rope rammil sand ship. You could just bust your ass
Speaker 1: at any point. So it's never like something sweet, right,
Speaker 1: It's not like you get to play catch, right, That's
Speaker 1: what we needed to sit down, duck duck goose. Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 1: So when it comes to Arrigo, how strong do you
Speaker 1: think in the time that you guys were there, that
Speaker 1: you your bond was because we saw you cry and
Speaker 1: you really loved on him. And at the end of
Speaker 1: this elimination, how tight was the bond between you two
Speaker 1: and how did it come about? How did you guys
Speaker 1: you know what. So at the time when he picked me,
Speaker 1: we hadn't had much conversation. I had spoken more to
Speaker 1: the Argentina and girls, and I was in a room upstairs,
Speaker 1: so at that point I was kind of intermingling with
Speaker 1: those people. And so it wasn't until the first challenge
Speaker 1: where I'm like, wait a minute, I need to get
Speaker 1: to know my partner. I need to like really start,
Speaker 1: you know, connecting with him, especially because there is a
Speaker 1: language barrier. But like, I wasn't necessarily intimidated by that
Speaker 1: because I knew I knew a little bit of Spanish,
Speaker 1: but I learned about him through other people in the
Speaker 1: house saying night, you know how dope your partner is,
Speaker 1: or like, do you know that he's also like a
Speaker 1: chef and he has his own cooking show and like
Speaker 1: everybody knows that, like food is like a huge part
Speaker 1: of my life and cooking and all that stuff. And
Speaker 1: I was just so excited to learn this stuff about
Speaker 1: him that I didn't have in our initial conversation. So
Speaker 1: we bonded really quickly. And then also I think we
Speaker 1: bonded over just like I could see that he was
Speaker 1: willing to give me one hundred and ten percent despite
Speaker 1: his injury to me, I felt like I needed to
Speaker 1: rise to the occasion for him too, yea. And so
Speaker 1: because of that, and you know, we really wanted to
Speaker 1: like take the target off the Argentina's back. Our whole
Speaker 1: objective was to was to go against a team that
Speaker 1: wasn't wearing the same jersey as us, And then when
Speaker 1: that came into play, I was like, listen, we're gonna
Speaker 1: give it. Are all are all, But I just realistically
Speaker 1: was like the stronger Argentina and team needs to stay
Speaker 1: in the game and Audrey, I mean, of course we
Speaker 1: try to win. I mean we barely lost, um, right,
Speaker 1: but I was relieved once, you know, we did lose,
Speaker 1: because I felt like it's just not fair to him,
Speaker 1: like he needs to go home and heal, like like
Speaker 1: it wasn't worth it, he wasn't gonna make it to
Speaker 1: a final anyway like that. So um, I was just like,
Speaker 1: you know what, Jodian Binha, I'm glad that they get
Speaker 1: to stay and live and fight another day. And Jody's
Speaker 1: a beast. I'm obsessed, so I want to I love
Speaker 1: ben Ha and I haven't even met him. He is,
Speaker 1: you know what he is? I really I feel like
Speaker 1: we would have been friends. He's he long went into Yeah,
Speaker 1: we love it. He's like the start you off with
Speaker 1: a meditation of gratitude and then he's gonna tell me why,
Speaker 1: like we should all be thankful, and then but I
Speaker 1: love him like I love and especially when you have
Speaker 1: nothing else to do in that house. Come on, ben huh,
Speaker 1: give me some daily affirmations. Yeah, get me up, follow
Speaker 1: each other on Instagram, send the vibes. I want to
Speaker 1: get into this. I want to get into the elimination.
Speaker 1: But before we do, I want to get into this bravery,
Speaker 1: this courageous conversation that you have with Jordan on camera
Speaker 1: about your journey. Um, I'm trying to be very sensitive
Speaker 1: about it because I don't you educated me. I didn't
Speaker 1: know anything about it. I didn't know that people could
Speaker 1: get addicted to vaping. I had no clue, and I
Speaker 1: was telling a Nissa that and I wasn't gonna say it,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say it anyway, because you know you
Speaker 1: I'm sharing, right, my brother, I noticed that he's always vaping,
Speaker 1: and in my mind, I'm like, well, at least he
Speaker 1: ain't smoking a cigarette. That's what I'm thinking. The whole time.
Speaker 1: I'm not realizing that it's a hand in hand type
Speaker 1: of situation. So can you elaborate on that as far
Speaker 1: as your journey of overcoming it and what it is
Speaker 1: to our listeners so that they can understand it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I was vaping for two years, and Anissa knows
Speaker 1: back in the like, in my twenties, my whole twenties,
Speaker 1: I smoked cigarettes, and so when I started vaping, I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I am in a way
Speaker 1: better situation by doing this and not smoking cigarettes. And
Speaker 1: what I have learned in the last two years since
Speaker 1: my health scare is really terrifying because honestly, I mean,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be smoking anything, Like smoking smoking anything is
Speaker 1: going to kill you. But the vaping what they are
Speaker 1: learning and discovering about it because it was so much unknown,
Speaker 1: It's like, the shit is bad. It is so bad
Speaker 1: that like the doctors that I've seen are really scared.
Speaker 1: They are really scared. They're like, what is what is happening?
Speaker 1: And the rate at which is happening with these vapor
Speaker 1: related health issues sudden death of development of diseases is
Speaker 1: like I mean, they're like I would I would tell
Speaker 1: no one to smoke cigarettes, but do not evade because
Speaker 1: the mechanisms. So here's what in short, what vaping is
Speaker 1: is like it's two pieces of metal that are burning together,
Speaker 1: because it's not using a flame like a cigarette, you know,
Speaker 1: using fire to create smoke and whatever. It's burning two
Speaker 1: pieces of metal together. And then it's using whatever is
Speaker 1: the liquid that you're inhaling, whether it's nicotine, whether it's
Speaker 1: weed oil or it's whatever. Those vapors that oil all
Speaker 1: goes into your lungs and it sticks to your lungs
Speaker 1: and it doesn't actually ever exit. And so if you
Speaker 1: don't know, like in vapes, one of the most consistent
Speaker 1: ingredients is formaldehyde. That's what they put in bodies when
Speaker 1: they prepare them to go in the ground. Like, under
Speaker 1: no circumstances should a living, breathing human being be inhaling
Speaker 1: that and that is what like a bath majority Huh yes, baby,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Yeah. So because of that, like I learned
Speaker 1: all this after I developed the blood clots of my
Speaker 1: lungs that I mean, mine were small, and my cardiologist said, yeah,
Speaker 1: these could have been fatal if you would have gone
Speaker 1: on right or die. I was like, ain't no telling
Speaker 1: what could have happened you, let alone, like you travel
Speaker 1: so much and you're always in the air, and you know,
Speaker 1: blood clots are really dangerous to have when you fly
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, and so it was just a reckoning,
Speaker 1: you know, point for me where I was like, holy
Speaker 1: showing man. I was in the hospital in Italy thinking
Speaker 1: that I was going to take my last breath, and
Speaker 1: the two things that I thought about was what is
Speaker 1: the headline going to say. It's gonna say Niam More
Speaker 1: Reality star dead at thirty four studding cardiac arrest or
Speaker 1: whatever they would have you know, said my cause of
Speaker 1: death was and you know what, people would have thought,
Speaker 1: she must have been on some hard some power. Because
Speaker 1: I myself, nobody knew I was vaping. I was a
Speaker 1: closet vapor unless you were in my inner circle. I
Speaker 1: was sneaking the ship everywhere, and so like I even
Speaker 1: when I was talking to Leroy, I was like telling him,
Speaker 1: I was like, even at your baby shower, I was like,
Speaker 1: you know how I kept disappearing and going off and
Speaker 1: like ducking off And He's like no, and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I was doing because I was. I was
Speaker 1: just so obsessed with it. But I didn't want the judgment.
Speaker 1: I didn't want people to know that I have yes.
Speaker 1: And so my thing is now that I you know,
Speaker 1: my life was spared. I completely quit. I've chosen a
Speaker 1: healthier path in life. But I remember saying, God, if
Speaker 1: you give me out of this, I will not keep this,
Speaker 1: will not be in vain. I will warn as many
Speaker 1: people as possible, especially because I know that vaping is
Speaker 1: marketed to young people. I mean, when you look in
Speaker 1: at the shop, it looks like a candy store. It's
Speaker 1: insane and all the flavors and whatever. Like even as
Speaker 1: somebody who smoked for so long, I could never get
Speaker 1: into vapes. But I realized, like, once I quit smoking cigarettes,
Speaker 1: there was so much shame, even if I had like
Speaker 1: a dress. I feel like this shame carries over. So
Speaker 1: if you do switch to vaping, and it's like still
Speaker 1: that kind of same shame. Like if I would smoke,
Speaker 1: I'd have to work gloves, I bring other pairs of clothes. Like,
Speaker 1: there was so much shit. So now it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: if I drink, like maybe I'll have one, babe. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But the vaping part was never a god because it
Speaker 1: just then perpetuated the whole let's let's smoke and have
Speaker 1: more nicotine in our body. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: if we could smoke, it wasn't that part of the
Speaker 1: reason why, Yeah, we did it. So it's almost counterintuitive,
Speaker 1: but I think because it's socially acceptable and that looks
Speaker 1: better if that smells better. But the fact that you
Speaker 1: can it makes it worse for my friends that fall asleep,
Speaker 1: but yeah, they hit it the first thing when they
Speaker 1: wake up, they have it at the dinner table. I'm
Speaker 1: like We're at dinner out and they're like, and it's
Speaker 1: scary because I'm like, you never smoked cigarettes that much? Right, right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: The vaping was for me. It was twenty four seven.
Speaker 1: I had them. You know, I were like the little braids.
Speaker 1: I would always have one in my braids, in my
Speaker 1: bra I had one in each purse. Like even when
Speaker 1: production was like, you know, going through our stuff, I know,
Speaker 1: they were like, holy shit, girl, like what are you
Speaker 1: preparing to like smoke your life away on the challenge?
Speaker 1: Like what are you doing? Wow? This is I'm talking
Speaker 1: about on All Stars? I was still vapor. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: when writer or eyes rolled around, I was knee deep
Speaker 1: in my addiction. And you couldn't have told me that
Speaker 1: I was addicted because I was like, oh, I can
Speaker 1: quit at any point. I was never going to quit
Speaker 1: until I had that health scare and until I was hospitalized.
Speaker 1: I was never going to quit. I know. I was
Speaker 1: a slave to it. So I sympathized so much with
Speaker 1: people who've reached out to me recently saying how do
Speaker 1: I quit? How do I quit? How did you do it?
Speaker 1: And my thing is, it's like, you don't ever want
Speaker 1: to be in that situation where you're thinking you're about
Speaker 1: to take your last breath. But that's what it took
Speaker 1: for me. But I would hope that she would just
Speaker 1: find the courage to fight the good fight for yourselves
Speaker 1: and know that it's just like life is worth living,
Speaker 1: and like that shit is going to take you out
Speaker 1: if you continue with it. It's just inevitable. Maybe sooner,
Speaker 1: maybe later, but that shit will kill you. It's just
Speaker 1: that simple. I can't like sugarcoat it. Based on the
Speaker 1: information that I've received. I am such a firm believer
Speaker 1: that a person's testimony is attached to somebody else's deliverance,
Speaker 1: and so I'm forever are grateful, even in my personal life.
Speaker 1: I can share this information with my brother because you
Speaker 1: decided to be vulnerable, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: I thank you for that. And I pray that this
Speaker 1: touches many people, our listeners and whoever else, and they
Speaker 1: spray it to somebody else and whoever needs to hear it,
Speaker 1: and they seek help, and you know, and then also
Speaker 1: if there is anybody out there that is dealing with
Speaker 1: this or know somebody who is, I am going to
Speaker 1: be using my platform to talk about this anti bathing um,
Speaker 1: journey and listing resources on how to quit, and I'm
Speaker 1: doing a live soon with a clinic that I've partnered with.
Speaker 1: So if you just go to my page, I'm going
Speaker 1: to start posting more stuff. Um, and then also just
Speaker 1: message me like you need to make courage and you
Speaker 1: need to know that there's somebody on the sideline cheering
Speaker 1: for you, like one day at a time of noting
Speaker 1: and then eventually you know you it's a month and
Speaker 1: then it's two months, and um, I want to be
Speaker 1: a support system for as many people as possible too.
Speaker 1: That that. So now, girl, lets getting to this someone
Speaker 1: ation because you had to push through, Mama, you had
Speaker 1: to push through. Okay, So first of all, walk us
Speaker 1: through it. Walk us through it step by step. I
Speaker 1: almost like you're in your confessional, girl, give us the
Speaker 1: play by play. Okay. So when I eyeballed this elimination,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, we could do this. The ramp, I
Speaker 1: mean it looked high, but not that high. It looked
Speaker 1: you knew it was steep, but I was like, I
Speaker 1: was just eyeballing in and I was pretty confident. I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh wait, we got this. And I didn't think the
Speaker 1: buckets of oil were gonna be that heavy. So here's
Speaker 1: the thing. Y'all know, I have just came out of
Speaker 1: the hiatus. I just started playing the game again. So like,
Speaker 1: my level of workout intensity really ain't what it should be.
Speaker 1: And I know that, and so coming into this, all
Speaker 1: I did was run. I didn't do no kind of
Speaker 1: pulling my own upper body, made my own body way like.
Speaker 1: I didn't prepare, I didn't lift weights. I didn't do
Speaker 1: anything that I should have been doing. And it showed
Speaker 1: immediately in this elimination. You were like, I'm gonna I
Speaker 1: didn't think I was gonna have to this rope. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna this rope. Let me tell you how. And he said,
Speaker 1: this is how delusional I was. I thought I didn't
Speaker 1: even need the rope. I thought I was just gonna yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I decided to use the rope. I'm like, bitch, why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you It's there now, I got these legs. I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm just gonna climb up. I'm a spider. No,
Speaker 1: you're not delusion, Like I got gagged immediately on the
Speaker 1: first go up. I was like, oh my god, because
Speaker 1: how many of these are we gonna have to do?
Speaker 1: And By the time the third time that I had
Speaker 1: climbed the rope, my arms were done. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna like, I'm not gonna sit here
Speaker 1: and lie and pretend like I got up that thing
Speaker 1: five times, like they made him look like no, I
Speaker 1: gotta think. But then Rogerie one leg, listen, port my baby.
Speaker 1: Rogerie with his one leg, had to do all of
Speaker 1: the transfers. So I'm I'm only carrying the buckets up
Speaker 1: halfway because my arms are shaking like noodles, like I'm
Speaker 1: really trying, but like I guess I didn't spill so
Speaker 1: much oil in this ramp, and roder is happy to
Speaker 1: literally climb up this thing and transfer the buckets because
Speaker 1: I can't reach the top. I was so embarrassed. It
Speaker 1: was one of those eliminations where it's like I'm usually
Speaker 1: really good at these, but I was like this bell ring,
Speaker 1: like I am so embarrassed. How heavy over how heavy
Speaker 1: were the buckets? They were heavy, girl, I mean. And
Speaker 1: the thing is, I've seen um Jody going up a
Speaker 1: couple of times, but it was getting heavy for her too,
Speaker 1: And you know, uh Ben, I was doing most of
Speaker 1: the transfers towards the top. Um, but no, I mean
Speaker 1: Johnny Jody still was going to way more times than me.
Speaker 1: I mean she she embarrassed me too. Um the buckets
Speaker 1: of oil, Like I'm telling you that the oil looks
Speaker 1: so thin that you wouldn't think it was heavy, but
Speaker 1: it was. And it was heavier than water obviously, but
Speaker 1: like yeah, like and then once you spilled any oil
Speaker 1: on that ramp, it was kind of a rap, Like
Speaker 1: it was hard to get past it because it was
Speaker 1: just so slippery. But yeah, so like I mean I knew,
Speaker 1: I I know I stunked it up, and I knew
Speaker 1: that I lost that from my team, just like I
Speaker 1: had lost the um the little haul brawl that we
Speaker 1: had to do. But I was just really relieved that
Speaker 1: my partner didn't have to suffer anymore because he was
Speaker 1: really and I'm just thankful that I got invited and
Speaker 1: was called a legend in the first place, and invited
Speaker 1: to compete against you know, some real stellar players. You know.
Speaker 1: So I felt like, you know, where I exited was
Speaker 1: probably appropriate. I said, I'm gonna get back in the gym.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna prepare more time. But yeah, also, so that's
Speaker 1: an I'll be back, so you'll be back. Oh. I mean,
Speaker 1: I am like, I'm enjoying being back in this thing.
Speaker 1: And I remember once upon a time I said I
Speaker 1: was never gonna do it, so stop asking you on Twitter.
Speaker 1: And it's like so hilarious that, like, don't ever say never,
Speaker 1: because God is like, oh for real, we'll see about that.
Speaker 1: Watch this. I do enjoy your life. And you're just
Speaker 1: jet setting and eating all of these amazing things. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, was that s Cargo? Like what else is
Speaker 1: she having today? And You're like it's my birthday And
Speaker 1: I said, I'm like, well that looks better than the challenge. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do love my job. Um. I have a like
Speaker 1: being in corporate flight attendant is just like such a
Speaker 1: treat because I essentially get paid to take people on
Speaker 1: their vacations and then get paid to sit there and
Speaker 1: then they pay for everything. It's like, come on, man, like,
