Speaker 3: lesson Jerry, so you know, getting to that point is

17
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,120

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 3: I definitely, yeah, it's like that guy.

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,200

21
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: Yes, Fila, Blake, we will get into all that because

22
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: I feel like we have so much to talk about.

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 4: You were actually just on Happy Hour not too long ago.

24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: There was some speculation that you might have been on

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: another season of The Bachelorette, Oh tell us.

26
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 3: More, essentially, there was like a mix up or things.

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: Joe and screen heard my name at the airport around

28
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 3: the same time that they were potentially going to film

29
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: here and there in Salt Lake and all these things,

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 3: and the producer's name was named, my name was named,

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 3: but I wasn't there, so I think it was coincidence.

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 3: And then knowing that my ass has been on a

33
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 3: couple of those, it was like not not out of

34
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 3: the question that he would maybe go and do something

35
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: crazy like that again, so speculation but didn't end up happening.

36
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 4: Absolutely. Where in the world are you right now? You

37
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: look like you're at home.

38
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm at home now for another two weeks and

39
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: then and then it's an onslaught of craziness again. I

40
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 3: don't get back basically till like October.

41
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,400

Speaker 1: is like my first real time having a conversation with you.

44
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: But I'm like, I'm here for it, so I need

Speaker 3: just work all over the world different nonprofit organizations that

50
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 3: focus on different animals. That could be trip specific things

51
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 3: like you know Rage came on last year. It could

52
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,559
Speaker 3: be media film specific.

53
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:35,440

99
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: Africa was the highlight of my life. Like Blake knows this,

100
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: It was my dream to go on a safari and

101
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: go to Africa and we just had the best time ever.

102
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: And Blake, are you playing I guess on bringing more

103
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: Bachelor people into that world or what do you have

104
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: planned for the future with that?

105
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 3: There there's a lot being worked on right now. I think,

106
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: you know, when it comes to we'll call it influence

107
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: for impact, right, so you know, even rich, you know,

108
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: you coming along and doing that, the notoriety exposure that

109
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 3: even went to lessons in conservation from just you being

110
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: there alone and not actually putting even tailor any crazy

111
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 3: campaigns to help with that. But you know, more eyes

112
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: and understanding around these organizations. The work that they're doing

113
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 3: is so important and so yeah, we're you know, we've

114
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: done I think now four or five you know special

115
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 3: guests type projects in the past, and we know that

116
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: how much more we can do when we bring people

117
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: along and get them out of their comfort zone a

118
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: little bit. And you know, Rich, you had it fairly

119
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 3: easy in some way because that was very like high level.

120
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: Well you've done well, okay, well this year bots Wanner,

121
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: I can't tell you who's coming to bots Wanna just yet.

122
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: Is it a person, Yeah, there's it's a it's a trio.

123
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: Actually there's a tree people.

124
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. And so after the and Rachel, it's a different

125
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 3: kind of a tinery than what you've done, so we

126
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 3: it's a different different location on the second half, same thing,

127
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 3: helicopter flying, all these different things. But then it's the

128
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 3: package at the end that these that you probably wouldn't

129
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: have loved. Uh and like tent like tenting out with

130
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: the rangers, knows.

131
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 4: I don't camp.

132
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: How did you? Like, I can't how long we were

133
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: all even there for like forever.

134
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 2: Well, to me, that was like camping too a little

135
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: bit because we were in it, like there was like

136
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: a tent, like we were not inside a hotel. But

137
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: it like was really nice. Obviously there's like indoor plumbing

138
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: and there was like a bedroom, but like still that's

139
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: like camp to me, like knows, I can't do it.

140
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 3: You did, you did, you did great though on your

141
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 3: outfits and like everything.

142
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 4: Every time he's like the elephants, they were everything. He

143
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: knows to compliment me on. He's like, your outfits are really.

144
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: Like how was her survival? How was her you know,

145
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: how is she managing?

146
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? How?

147
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: I no, I mean you're easier than I thought that

148
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 3: you're gonna be.

149
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: That's good.

150
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, no, I mean I listened, Like,

151
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: you know, we have a bunch of other guests that

152
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: we're on that trip, and I think the the one

153
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 3: thing which is interesting for guests, they don't get to

154
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: meet people that have been on these shows and things before,

155
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: and they were all just you know, I love her.

156
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: I love her because she just you know, it was

157
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: easy to fit in and get along with everybody. So

168
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: When I was on the Africa trip, it was like

169
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks before a perfect match was about

170
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: to air. And while I was there, I was getting texts.

171
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: Their editing is a little bit different, and they were

172
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: starting to ask me questions.

173
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 4: And they're like, what did you mean by this? What

174
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 4: did you mean by this?

175
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: And I was so nervous about all the Clayton stuff

176
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: coming out, and I just was trying to have a

177
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: good time and put everything out of my mind. And

178
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: one night I did have a couple of buses in

179
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: one had a full breakdown next to a hippo.

180
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, not ballot because I was like, sorry, hippos, yes,

181
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: come out of the water and they do yeah, like

182
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: and they run they like charge. So I'm like, that's okay,

183
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: And that was a I had.

184
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: I think that was it.

185
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: I think that was it.

186
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, it's a it's a rule, like there's a

187
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 3: there was. You were definitely managing a lot at the

188
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 3: same time. It's a very over stimulating. There's all these

189
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: things that you're constantly on the go. There's no time

190
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 3: to really sit and like when you're trying to you

191
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 3: manage the overthinking that comes with that and what's going

192
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 3: to happen on that There's a lot going on. So yeah,

193
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 3: and you know you came over to to my tent

194
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,120

Speaker 1: a second. That was like spot on, I'm.

198
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 2: Speaking of Perfect Match, Blake. Oh you we're supposed to

00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 2: go on Perfect Match.

200
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: You were I was.

201
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 3: Very very very close to be going to with Rachel

202
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: then and the last man I just could not I

203
00:09:58,960 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: could trigger on it.

204
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: Wait, okay, no, we okay, we yeah, that tea right

205
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: because I'm like, I need to talk about this, Okay.

206
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: It was it like personal reasons like is it public

207
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: knowledge why you didn't want to like go or what

208
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: like kind of stuff.

209
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: There was a combination of things. I was seeing somebody

210
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: kind of at the same time, right, you remember, and

211
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: so it was it wasn't like a full relationship, but

212
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 3: it was like and then at the same time, it's

213
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: like going to do another show that I was unsure about.

214
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: I just it was there's too much ah, too too

215
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: much hesitation, and I didn't feel really confident and excited

216
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: to go. So it wasn't like the saving grace is

217
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 3: knowing that Rachel was likely going when I was at

218
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: her apartment talking about it, and it was you know,

219
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: we were close to go. Rachel was only what maybe

220
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: weeks before or something.

221
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 2: Uh huh, Well, yeah, I think they were casting. I

222
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: can't remember when we were talking about it, but you

223
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: were the only other names.

224
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: I was on the phone at like your place.

225
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm not just say something crazy sod did

226
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: Clayton take your spot?

227
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 3: Because you know, I don't know. I mean, like I

228
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 3: know they were pressing hard, like hard to make it happen.

229
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: Then when that like they're on me every day, Yeah,

230
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think around the same time too,

231
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: like it was out there, Rachel and I were always

232
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 3: hanging out and you know, do the seatral stuff together

233
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: and all these things. So I think they actually they

234
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 3: wanted some type of like hmm, curiosity around who was

235
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,479
Speaker 3: going to be there with Rachel?

236
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: Yes, wait, I mean I guess we'll never know, but

237
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: I would have loved to see that play out. I

238
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: mean like that, I.

239
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 4: Feel like everyone saw in Paradise.

240
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: We were there together, so it would have probably been

241
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: like a similar experience I feel.

242
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, yes, yes and no. I think though too.

243
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 3: Like our relationship, our relationship now is is you know,

244
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: we were like friends there, but now it's like I

245
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 3: know you a whole different, you know what I mean?

246
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: Like, there's so much do the Blake to be my

247
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: friend in Paradise because we were not friends before Paradise.

248
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: I actually really didn't like Blake before.

249
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 4: Wait, really this is true, Like do you remember?

250
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: Okay, So the first time I met Blake, he did

251
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: not say a word. He was there with our former

252
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 2: manager and he was sitting at the end of the

253
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: bar just silently listening to my conversation.

254
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 4: And by the end of the dinner he.

255
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 2: Had so many tequilas that he yelled at me for

256
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 2: using a plastic straw. And that was the first time

257
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: we had a conversation.

258
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: Honestly, I fifty because I'm like the plastic straws we

259
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: do not use.

260
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: I do understand that he had to go at me

261
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 2: in the middle of the restaurant.

262
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: The first who are you? Yeah, I was like, who

Speaker 1: are you?

264
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: First off, I don't yell rach. Is that being a

265
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 3: bit of a ship in giving you?

266
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: Yes?

267
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, but but I'm like, I'm harmless, I'm just a

Speaker 4: A little bit with Jess at the time.

288
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: So Tequila Blake did start to come out early in

289
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: the day, and by the time we got to that roast,

290
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 2: the things that came out of blake Point's mouth, I mean,

291
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: I'm trying to even remember.

292
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: I was like, don't give us the worst, but like

293
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: give me like some because obviously I'm like, I don't

294
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: even I don't even think I heard about this from anyone, Blake,

295
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: explain yourself.

296
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 3: I okay, first, So, yeah, I don't have that much

297
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 3: of a filter when I'm drinking and I'm not great

298
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 3: like just jokes off the cost like a lot of

299
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 3: my humor where people are like laughing, like would be

300
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 3: like you just said that, Like I'm I can be

301
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 3: off the costs and say shit, that's like a little

302
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: bit fucking wild. Yeah, and so there were specific things

303
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 3: I remember. I remember the first thing I came out

304
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: with was something around Katie and and John Hershey and

305
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 3: how something about because she mentioned that I like to

306
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 3: be called daddy, which was like there was a joke

307
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 3: that I think. Anyways, we went to a little thing

308
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 3: and I remember Jesse looked at me right away and

309
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: was like, dude, this is an ABC show. We cannot

310
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 3: put this like you you can't talk like.

311
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: That, Jesse flagging it. It was.

312
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: It was just things that were like a little bit

313
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: much just just vulgar, not necessarily mean.

314
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: They were just like log not family friendly friendly.

315
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, like if the whole thing would have been bleeps,

316
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 3: and it was.

317
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: Just I don't even think they could have bleeped it

318
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: out how vulgar it was.

319
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm screaming. Rachel is like she is double downing on it.

320
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: She was like, no, it was the most insane thing ever. Yeah, okay,

321
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: we'll leave it at that. We'll leave it at that.

322
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: I had to know.

323
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 4: ABC should release the tapes, that's all.

324
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: He's like, no, no, no, we'll keep We'll keep Tequila Blake

325
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: in the archives for now. We'll bring him out. We'll

326
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: bring him out in person, not on Badger Happy Hour.

327
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: We'll find them in person.

328
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. It would be good, though, to see those lines,

329
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: because I remember them being like the boys coming to

330
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: me after and being like, bro, you're fucking crazy.

331
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 4: I mean you and just broke up. Was it that

332
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 4: night or like the next day? She was not happy

333
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 4: with you after that?

334
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: Speaking of obviously, like you just said that, you guys

335
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: like didn't really have like a relationship before you guys

336
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: went on y'all season of Paradise, So like at any

337
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: point when you guys came on the beach, like I know,

338
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: like you Blake and Jess y'all peered up pretty quickly,

339
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: but like, was there ever any interest with you guys

340
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: exploring like a relationship or what was that dynamic like

341
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: like at the time.

342
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: I feel like it was like immediately I just forced

343
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: Blake to be my friend because we were the two

344
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: like older people on the beach that have been engaged,

345
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: and it was kind of I just felt camaraderie with you,

346
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: even though we got off to a rough start.

347
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was kind of like a it

348
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 3: was almost like a safety feeling in a way. And

349
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: I think the like I had started talking, I think

350
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 3: the first day was when I started talking to Jess

351
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 3: and I think what Rachel Sean or something.

352
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 2: Yes, when I was in a relationship with Seoane, I

353
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 2: really liked that one.

354
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did, you know. Yeah, I was giving my

355
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 3: two cents across the board and everything that you were

356
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 3: kind of doing, and you know you didn't always listen,

357
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: which is okay, but I was, you know, trying to

358
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 3: be there as much as possible for you. So yeah,

359
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 3: it was kind of like we got I think we

360
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 3: just felt a little out of it in comparison, everyone

361
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 3: else knew each other well and we were the ones

362
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 3: that kind of didn't. But I think that's where I

363
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 3: think some of the core friendship and trust started coming

364
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 3: from it, and comfortability and familiarity, and then from there

365
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 3: it was like, yeah, we went did ceatural work and

366
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 3: all that stuff, and then I boos wanted and so

367
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: you know when you when you spend that amount of

368
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 3: time with somebody doing some of those other cool things

369
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 3: outside of Paradise, ye, you know, naturally just become much closer.

370
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 3: So that's where I think majority of it came, Like

371
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 3: the friendship kind of came from in like slip yeah.

372
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Blake is the only person in the world I

373
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: feel like he will actually tell me, like what I'm

374
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 2: doing wrong, I give it to me actually so straight,

375
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: like Blake knows if I ever need an opinion on something,

376
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: which I do often, he is the one I go to.

377
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 2: So we're thankful for Paradise and for our old management,

378
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 2: or at least I am.

379
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: Now, you guys have a really like, beautiful like friendship. Obviously,

380
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: I'm like enough that it keeps the Internet speculating between

381
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: you two. But I loved, like obviously to hear both

382
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: sides from you guys of how y'all's friendship formed and

383
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: all the cool things that you guys get to do together.

384
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: So I love that.

385
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll probably time. Wer She comes back out and

386
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: doesn't says another thing, another project.

387
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 4: I wanted to do the manatees.

388
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: I was about to text you about that after because

389
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: you know that is the one I want to do.

390
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 3: Well, we can talk about that because there's there's still

391
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 3: room to potentially pull that off.

392
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 4: Perfect.

393
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I need to get on on Blake's yea,

394
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: we need You're trying to get like this.

395
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 2: And you want to do like if you have one

396
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 2: animal that was specific for the chip, what would you

397
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: want to do.

398
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: I'm like, first of all, actually, Blake, you can correct

399
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: me if this is like controversial, because I know like

400
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people are like, oh, these are like

401
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: not good to do, but it is like kind of

402
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: in conjunction with like my top two things on my

403
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: bucket list is like elephant, I know, elephant sanctuaries or

404
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: like you know, they can be like yeah, a little okay.

405
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean it's it is You're you're very right,

406
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 3: and that is it can be controversial and there's a

407
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 3: lot of depth to it, and so I wouldn't blanket

408
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: statement sanctuaries I think the functions and the things you're

409
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 3: able to do at certain sanctuaries, and there's a lot

410
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 3: of behind the scenes of like, is there a traffic

411
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 3: component here? This is actually ethical for the animal? You know,

412
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 3: you're supposed to not you're supposed to really limit any

413
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 3: human interaction. But at the same time, you know, if

414
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 3: that's what's drawing, I say, for example, and that's why

415
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 3: we went to elephant Haven, Right, if there's no one

416
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 3: coming through those places, there's no funding, and those elephants

417
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 3: are all orphans, what happens, right, they're no longer. So

418
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 3: I think if it's it's trying to manage each situation

419
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 3: and look at them specifically and not throw a blanket

420
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 3: statement overall. And there's different regions and areas, and then

421
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 3: you know who's the one running the place, like what's

422
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: behind it, who's who's the You know, there's just a

423
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 3: lot to consider. So you're not wrong. There's just ways

424
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 3: to go about it in certain places that you'd want.

425
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: To avoid exactly, So trying to do that as ethically

426
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: as possible. But I love elephants, So I'm like, if

427
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: I could ever see or just be in proximity close

428
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: to one. I would be a dream come true. So

429
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: that's what I want to do. And obviously the Safari

430
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: already mentioned.

431
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: So charity and Dotan for an elephant project would be amazing.

432
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: No, I would actually, like, you don't understand. I would

433
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: actually like, I would be crying the entire trip. I'm

434
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: not Kidding's like it's number one, Like it's number one

435
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: on my list of anything I need to accomplish in

436
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: this lifetime. And it's that I'm so serious. So if

437
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: you make it happen, I owe you my life. I'm

438
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: laying it downing it down right now. Yeah, No, I

439
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: love I'll follow, And I'm like, I love that. It's

440
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: obviously like him explaining the whole like ethics behind it.

441
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: That's obviously very huge to me because I'm like, yeah,

442
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: like we're not doing anything. We're not good. I wish

443
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: see world would be done like it's like stuff like that.

444
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's just horrifying. I'm like I can't, I

445
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: can't bring myself to support. So I definitely would love

446
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: to do these things the right way. So I feel like,

447
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: obviously this is your line of work and you have

448
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: a lot of knowledge about that.

449
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's already things coming to mind. In May,

450
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 3: we're going to South Africa to execute a film project

451
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: with a partner that I worked with a few times now,

452
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 3: and that's where you know, when they need funding to

453
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 3: maybe it's an elephant that's been you know, gored by

454
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 3: another elephant through a tusk, or maybe they need to

455
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 3: replace a caller for you know, science research purposes. That

456
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 3: is an ethical way in which you can never really

457
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 3: time it because it's only if the animal needs support

458
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 3: funding to which you know, you can get up close

459
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 3: and personal in a way that is supporting the reserve

460
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: or the research initiatives or the vet procedures, and you

461
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 3: can kind of help while that elephant's down, you know,

462
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 3: taking the hair samples and measuring, and you can be

463
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 3: up close in that way where it's you're actually supporting

464
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 3: an initiative. And though that is that is not overly

465
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 3: challenging to pull off, and probably doing it in May,

466
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 3: this may anyways, but yeah, there's there's definitely opportunity.

467
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: For all that beautiful. I do want to ask, like,

468
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: and this might be it may listen fingers crossed. This

469
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: might be another like dumb question, but I say, no

470
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: questions are dumb, but like how like obviously Rachel went

471
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: on these trips with you, but like say someone that's

472
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: like listening to this, like, how is that something that's

473
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: like ever accessible to like the public? Like how do

474
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: people get to come on these like expeditions and do

475
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: these types of things that you guys are doing.

476
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 3: So we have different programs that someone we've done annually

477
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 3: for example, you know Botswana with Rachel last year is

478
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 3: one that we actually it's one of the ways when

479
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: we can we work directly with the NGOs, which is

480
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 3: what we do differently from any trip advisor. Wherever you're

481
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 3: finding a safari, we build them out, not with a

482
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 3: lodge directly, you build it out with a nonprofit partner

483
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 3: that allows us to access exclusivity and activities that typical

484
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 3: operators cannot, while at the same time limiting the funding

485
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 3: that goes to operators and it goes directly to NGOs.

486
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: It's a lot more working our end because we are

487
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 3: now becoming the trip facilitator in person and all of that.

488
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 3: But that's the way in which we can provide really

489
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 3: rich experiences and impactful experiences where you're interacting with the

490
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 3: NGO from the people that know it best, and so

491
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: we create these programs that yes, anyone can come on

492
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 3: and we usually run I don't know six dif different

493
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: destinations a year. This year we're coming out with new

494
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 3: ones and Maldis for the first time. Next month, Costa Rica,

495
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 3: we'll be going to Australia. There's a bunch of new

496
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 3: ones coming. But yes, we do offer up to other

497
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 3: people who are like minded and want to go out

498
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 3: and do these things and actually do more of an

499
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 3: impact trip versus just a passive support.

500
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: I love this. I'm like everyone should everyone should know

501
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: about this, Like I don't know, Like it makes me

502
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: sad though, because I'm like, you know, like people like

503
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: are just so quick to just book you know whatever

504
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: on their little vacation and it might not be the

505
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: best like obviously thing for the animals, the environment, whatever,

506
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,239
Speaker 1: and it's like like, uh, yeah, I don't know, we

507
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: need to like we could check a word. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

508
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: I think this. You know, when you guys find out

509
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 3: who's coming on the Tip Botswana this year, it'll, I

510
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 3: think it'll be fun to fall along with because these

511
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 3: people are very entertaining and you'll, you'll it'll make sense

512
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 3: to see as you figure out.

513
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: Who know something like Justin, Oh my gosh, it's like

514
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: Justin Andrew and grud I'm gonna.

515
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: Now is it the way?

516
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 2: Did we just guess because they were he can't say,

517
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: Blake if it is?

518
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: If it is Justin, I could you would make it. No, Honestly,

519
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: I could not go on that trip because I would

520
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: laugh non stop.

521
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: Can you imagine the content that's gonna come from this trip.

522
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 4: I will be absolutely fallowing along. I love confirming it.

Speaker 1: So exciting legendary and.

528
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 3: Throwing those guys into the mix of like the you know,

529
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 3: we're going out living in like the little little tents tents. No, no,

530
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 3: I'm saying we as I'm not telling you, you know, living

531
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 3: out little tents, living with the rangers and trackers who

532
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 3: go through the habituation process. So they're going to be

533
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 3: very out of their element of these people.

534
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 2: And so so this is going to be very different

535
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: than the last trip. Last trip was very fun.

536
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 3: That's that's an add on. So we're going to reduce

537
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: similar ridge to what you did different second location. Know

538
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 3: how we flew or yeah, we flew into the second

539
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 3: location that private resort or private lodge, different private lodge,

540
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 3: different area, and it's like one of the most densely

541
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 3: populated with leopard is going to be the wild dogs.

542
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 3: You didn't get to see wild dogs last time.

543
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 4: But you wanted to see you one so bad.

544
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're gonna get that this time. But yeah,

545
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 3: then we're doing another three day, four day like getting

546
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 3: in four by fours, driving into the middle of nowhere,

547
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 3: meeting up with the rangers and living with them, boots

548
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 3: on the ground doing their patrols and they're so it'll

549
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 3: be Yeah, it'd be good to.

550
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 4: See those guys in that wing.

551
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: Oh wait, okay, wait, before we like switch gears, blake

552
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: with what you know about me, which is like, I

553
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: don't know how much, probably limited information. But do you

554
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 1: think that I would I would do well in something

555
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: like this, like a next like kind of similar to

556
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: what you and Rachel did. Do you think that I

557
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: would farewell?

558
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah? I do, I do, And I think that if

559
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 3: you it doesn't take very long, especially if it's just

560
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 3: something specific around elephants where you're getting to live out

561
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 3: a dream or or you just buy in, and I

562
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 3: think once you not realize the how rewarding it can

563
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 3: be when you're actually doing something that's impactful at the

564
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 3: same time and it's not right and you're getting involved.

565
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 3: It's I don't know how to explain it, aside from

566
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 3: like you just have to do it, but it's you

567
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 3: just buy in and and you know you're there to

568
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: usually once in a lifetime you're probably not going back.

569
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 3: And yeah, it depends you know what challenges we throw

570
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 3: at you, and we would make sure we navigate that properly,

571
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 3: but you know, we would know your limits before going in.

572
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 3: But at the same time, we would challenge. We will

573
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 3: challenge your comfort zone a little bit. And I think

574
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 3: after no matter what, you walk and be like I'm

575
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 3: so glad did that, or I'm so you know, you'll

576
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 3: be just fine there there you know you yo, you're yeah.

577
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: But there's one oh perfect, he said that one thing

578
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: which is like, which is buying in. And I'm like,

579
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: I feel like I do well with stuff like that.

580
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: It might take me like at least twenty four forty

581
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: eight hours however long, but it's like once I can

582
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: see or just like I'm immersed in it. It's like

583
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm there and like obviously always after, I'm like, yeah,

584
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: this is the best thing I've ever done for myself,

585
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: so I think I would would do well. We'll say

586
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: we take care.

587
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 3: Of everything away, we take we took like Rachel, like,

588
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 3: we just we handle everything. There's nothing need to really

589
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 3: worry about at all. And uh yeah, we say up

590
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 3: for we set you up for success, so I would

591
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 3: not be worried at all.

592
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: Perfect. Okay, well then it's happening. I can't wait.

Speaker 4: Yeah, I love we plan this all. I'm bachelor happy hour.

Speaker 1: I'm so sorry.

609
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that yeah, that's a bit of a long story,

610
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 3: but really quickly. Essentially, I came back from Kenya, was

611
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 3: really really sick and had the flu, and you're not

612
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 3: supposed to be diving it deathly not coming back from

613
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 3: a sickness. Had brand new fins are really really long.

614
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 3: I hadn't dove earlier than that day, and I was

615
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 3: wanting to get one good, big dive in and I

616
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 3: did not realize how far down I dove on This

617
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 3: was free diving, so no no tanks. Yeah, and by accident,

618
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 3: not realizing that, I went down seventy feet diving with sharks.

619
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: My god.

620
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 3: And when I went down all the way down there,

621
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 3: I remember turning around. The reason I realized that even

622
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,239
Speaker 3: was so deep was that I saw the bottom and

623
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 3: I'm like, I've never seen the bottom here. It's one

624
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 3: hundred feet of water. And so when I turned back around,

625
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 3: I remember how far like the sun was coming through

626
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 3: the light and the people at the top of the

627
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 3: water just looked like ants. So I dumb started panicking

628
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 3: a little bit, not that I was at air, but

629
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 3: realizing I'm deep here and gravity starts to take you

630
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 3: after thirty feet and pull. So I started fighting my

631
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 3: way back up, expending a lot of energy and realizing

632
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 3: then you're getting the gulp feeling of like oh man,

633
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 3: and you're like running out of air. And then I

634
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: don't remember anything about fifteen feet from the surface, and

635
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 3: I remember feeling really woozy. I was coming up, and

636
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 3: then I don't remember anything. Then I popped up to

637
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 3: the top and was face down and my body was convulsive.

638
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 3: It was like a jackhammer because I had no auction.

639
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 3: My body so very close to having a blackout, which

640
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 3: has killed a lot of people. I was very fortunate

641
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 3: that somebody was right at the top to be able

642
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 3: to put me over on my back and get me

643
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 3: out of the water essentially. But yeah, terrifying in that,

644
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 3: you know, the multi factors can play into these scenarios,

645
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 3: and you know, you really got to think these things through.

646
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 3: But it was a combination of unfortunate, unforeseen and not. Yeah,

647
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 3: so I've learned my lesson there.

648
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm way more care No, that is very scary. First,

649
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: thank you for sharing that. I mean, I can't imagine

650
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: that would actually I would probably never go back.

651
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 4: In the world I know I would never Yeah.

652
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: No, oh my god, that's you need.

653
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 4: To come on one time the story.

654
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was wild learned a lesson, but and

655
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: I'm just yeah, way way more we were. I think

656
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,239
Speaker 3: I can do anything, you know, so like I just

657
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 3: like I'll handle whatever album fine, I'm fine. And then

658
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 3: sometimes you you know, you do things like that, and

659
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 3: there's other wildlife issues like interactions and the.

660
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 4: Interaction I had.

661
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 3: To I mean, there's been been a few. I think, yeah,

662
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 3: there's been there's been a few, but more so one

663
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 3: was a part of the ranger program that I took

664
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: into my certification South Africa, which was which was scary

665
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 3: where there's a poaching incident where I was like outposted

666
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 3: in the in the in the middle of nowhere basically

667
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 3: with a ranger that speaks Kosa that we were both

668
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 3: in the program together and we didn't didn't speak English

669
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 3: very well and he had fire but we were there

670
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 3: because Ryer would just got poached like two days before

671
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 3: or so. We were doing like an outpost that we

672
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 3: were in the middle of nowhere in the dark, and

673
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 3: I remember we heard footsteps nearby, which we were supposed

674
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 3: to like radio. It was like there's like little like there's.

675
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 2: Talk about all these literally interesting full exclusive interviewing where

676
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 2: we have all the time in the world because I'm

677
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 2: so fascinated I.

678
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: Do full story. It is like yeah, yeah, it's crazy,

679
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god. But I feel like, yeah, like you said,

680
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: you have that person, you have to have that type

681
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 1: of personality with like the things that you're doing, Like

682
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: there's no way I'm like I would have one incident.

683
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm so sorry. I love the world, but

684
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: i gotta go about like that's it for me, Like

685
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: we're good, okay, Oh yeah, okay, let me see.

686
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 4: Like, let's go an easy one.

687
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 2: I know, one of the most traumatic thing you've ever

688
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 2: been through.

689
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 4: Would you ever go back to par.

690
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: Okay? I want to ask this one. This one is

691
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: probably something Rachel already knows. But is there an animal

692
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: or if there is, like, which animal are you most

693
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: afraid of?

694
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 3: Probably likes primates, chimps, There's something. There's a few animals

695
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: that make me worried, only because I've never necessarily interact

696
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 3: with them and because their intelligence is so high that

697
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 3: you know, there was an instance where there's a spider

698
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 3: monkey that skelped somebody. You know these are the instance

699
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 3: like so, for example, right, you can kind of understand

700
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 3: and read behavior of like a lion for example, right

701
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 3: that you sure they can act on emotion or be

702
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 3: triggered in some ways, but there's typical behavior that you

703
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 3: can typically pick up on in scenarios, and you can

704
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 3: gauge your red, yellow, you you know, green signs of

705
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 3: like when you're safe technically even on foot. But when

706
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 3: it comes to primates and you're thinking about the they're

707
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 3: almost like children. So imagine that a that's how I

708
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 3: take it a child. You take something from it freaks out, right,

709
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 3: But this child is actually has something that is extremely

710
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 3: strong and if they want something, they're going to take

711
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 3: it back and they can really hurt you. And so

712
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 3: because you can read behavior, yes, it can be a

713
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 3: thing of I stepped on its tail by accident in

714
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 3: this instance, right, and it wants to come back and bite.

715
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: But this woman actually tried to keep it away and

716
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 3: kick by accident. She went back into town. This is

717
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 3: in the Amazon, in the middle of nowhere, this sanctuary

718
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 3: in the middle of nowhere. She came back into town

719
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 3: for two days. That spider monkey waited for her to

720
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 3: come back on ship as soon as it saw her.

721
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 3: Two days later how to grudge attacked her and you know,

722
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 3: but like a chunk of her hair gone. So Pride

723
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 3: makes extremely intelligent, incredible animals. But I think because I

724
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 3: don't know enough about them. And there's all they're more

725
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 3: complex than you know, reading an animal based on instinct

726
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 3: or natural behaviors. There's other things that can trigger those animals,

727
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 3: bam them, motion or whatever it is. And so there's

728
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 3: just something I don't something it makes me more respect

729
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 3: them more.

730
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't you have a spider monkey thing? Something happened

731
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: with the spider monkey with you?

732
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 3: No, I've had great instances.

733
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, you've had like some sorry about the spider monkey.

734
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just had yeah. No, oh oh capuchin. No,

735
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 3: I got attacked by a capuchin monkey in the in

736
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,439
Speaker 3: the wild. Yeah. It was on the trail in front

737
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 3: of me, and I was warned, don't go through this

738
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 3: region of the Amazon on the way through this other building,

739
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 3: and I had seen spider monkeys up in the tree,

740
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 3: so I went over by myself to look at them.

741
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 3: Kapuchin jumps onto the trail in front of me on

742
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 3: the ground and it's being all kind of walking up

743
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 3: to me, like turning its head and doing like this this,

744
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 3: and I'm thinking this is this is cute. And we

745
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 3: had worked because they are partly habituating the fact they'd

746
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 3: just had a soft release from this sanctuary to be

747
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 3: rewilded again. And so I'm like, okay, I think this

748
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 3: this specific individual, I don't know who it is, but

749
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 3: it must recognize you from maybe yesterday. I feel comfortable

750
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 3: started coming up to me and it was started going

751
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 3: it was going like this up like towards me, like

752
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 3: so I naturally put my hand down and he didn't.

753
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 3: He with his hand. He grabbed my fingers. He came

754
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 3: up onto my hip and I'm like alone, and I'm like,

755
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 3: this is wild. I know someone around came up onto

756
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 3: my shoulder as soon as he came up onto my shoulder,

757
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 3: and we were taught this in the interactions with the

758
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 3: other putchins. Just be careful. You need to make sure

759
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 3: you cover your ears right away if something, because they

760
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 3: know your vulnerability and they can rip that thing off.

761
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 3: So out of nowhere, not even yeah, out of nowhere.

762
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 3: Two more jumped from the trees above me that had

763
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 3: not nowhere there landed on my shoulders. I covered my

764
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 3: ears right away and and boom, what just exactly what

765
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 3: they said? Want one bit into my my thumb here

766
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 3: and then bit into the back of my neck, and

767
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 3: I didn't think. I just stayed calm. Yeah, and then

768
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 3: because I didn't know what to do, so I just

769
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 3: like yelled for a buddy of mine who was in

770
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 3: a different building further away, and he came out and

771
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 3: just like started clapping, and then they just kind of

772
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 3: took off. But yeah, then I had like, yeah, so

773
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 3: like and I forgot I forgot about that story. But yeah,

774
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 3: there's primates.

775
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we used to know. I'm like, I learned.

776
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: This is like, yeah, I'm learning so much. I could

777
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: listen to I know all day long. I'm like, this

778
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: is like PBS Kids for me.

779
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 2: Truly, you are ansty princess like these animals just like

780
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 2: sense that he has good intentions.

781
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: And I know, I'm like, we need a we need

782
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: a show for blank Like that's that's next. We need

783
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: a little educational education. Yeah, I was, I was listen.

784
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: Maybe one day. We're working on some things.

785
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 2: So all right, well, speaking of that, would you ever

786
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 2: do another dating reality show or you retired?

787
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 3: I mean.

788
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 1: That's a long pot.

789
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 4: No.

790
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 3: I mean I've it's been it's been three now that

791
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 3: I've said no too within the last obviously from last year,

792
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 3: and there's two this year, Rich you know about that, well,

793
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 3: at least one of them, I think. Anyways, I think

794
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 3: would have to be a very specific kind one and

795
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 3: the right timing I think right now would be challenging

796
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 3: to pull off because I know I know I wouldn't

797
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 3: be the I know I wouldn't. I could go on

798
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 3: fake it, I could go on and fake and go

799
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 3: through the motions of it, but I know I will

800
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 3: probably be a shitty boyfriend outside of it, knowing how

801
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 3: much travel and stuff, and so knowing that, I know

802
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 3: I would fail that person coming out of the show

803
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 3: in this current moment. And so if I know that,

804
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 3: then I would go in playing the game. And if

805
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 3: I'm going to go in, I'd lean in. I do

806
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 3: it right. I want to do it right. And actually yeah,

807
00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 3: you know, so yes and no, it depends on timing

808
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 3: what show, but likely you know, going a different direction,

809
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 3: probably not a dating one, and maybe leading into the

810
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 3: stuff that I actually care about and and you know,

811
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 3: more of the wildlife you venture type stuff, if anything,

812
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 3: or a competition or something different.

813
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: You know, actually I respect that.

814
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 3: Ah what would you did you say? Would I ever be?

815
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 4: Would you ever be? The Bachelor?

816
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 3: Rachel m.

817
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 2: So?

818
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 3: I again, I think it's it's a time, it's a

819
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,959
Speaker 3: it's a it would be a timing thing. It would

820
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 3: be a timing thing. And I think the other thing

821
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 3: there is I think that if that was going to happen,

822
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 3: people would know who I am, what they're signing up for.

823
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 3: It's not me, it's ram coming into a you know, Shay,

824
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 3: it was perfect match where they who's this guy? Would

825
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 3: you travel? Explain it to me? I think people if

826
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 3: you know you're announced, is that people are gonna know

827
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 3: is this life for me? I see how much he's

828
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 3: you know, and they're gonna so there's more of a guy.

829
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 3: I think they would be more understanding, understanding. I think

830
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 3: the challenges people don't really understand me that well, and

831
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 3: I don't do a great job of Yeah, so mate.

832
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 3: It would have to be the right year, and it

833
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 3: would have to make sense, and I think a lot

834
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 3: of things would have to come to line up, and

835
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 3: I just so don't anticipate that ever happening.

836
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: That's such a mature answer. I'm like, Blake, I'm like,

837
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: if we were to ask anybody else about it, yeah, tomorrow,

838
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: and it's like, no, damn well that they have no

839
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: business doing any of that. So I respect that, I

840
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: actually really do. Like that's a true, honest, genuine response. Yeah.

841
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, well listen, you you're not doing yourself any favors.

842
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 3: You're wasting time. You're wasting time now. And yeah, like listen,

843
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 3: people have a hard time as it's in the dating world,

844
00:41:54,800 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 3: and so if you're gonna be the bachelor, you have

845
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 3: to be and you guys know, you have to be

846
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 3: completely in the right mindset, right spot in life. Yea.

847
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 3: And you know if there's any you know, red flags,

848
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: things you're unsure of, you know that's all going to

849
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 3: come out in the wash in the end, because the

850
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 3: hardest part is actually the after. I think probably right

851
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 3: and so and so and so that that life. Yeah, listen,

852
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 3: you owe it to somebody if they're going to be

853
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 3: coming to spend their time and give you and devote

854
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 3: it to you during their whole process, you better be

855
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 3: fucking ready to give them that on the outside when

856
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 3: the time means the most. Uh. And actually, you know,

857
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 3: come through as the person you say you're going to

858
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 3: be and right in this exact moment be I know

859
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 3: it would be extremely challenging for me to that unless

860
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 3: they could come along with me if every adventure, but

861
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 3: then I'm taking away from their life, you know, so

862
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 3: they'd have there's have to be a real good understanding

863
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 3: of both parties inside.

864
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: So I love this. Okay, Blake is our next bachelor,

865
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 1: will have to get a cast that is purely devoted

866
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: to his lifestyle.

867
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 2: I'm so here for it is Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

868
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 2: I think it could be a really fun season because

869
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: I would think to see them like imagine the challenges

870
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,959
Speaker 2: like can you put up a tent? Yeah?

871
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: I think he's like he has like the perfect like

872
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: lifestyle to like honestly curate an entire season around. You know,

873
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: it's like we already know what the headline would be.

874
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: The thing, Like, it's just yeah, like finding someone that

875
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: obviously fits the mode for y'all's lives and compatibility. But

876
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: I think it would be really fun. So I'm putting
