00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 4: deserved compared to those in the courses. Yeah, I mean

20
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 4: it was the privilege was truly online. I mean like

21
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,959

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 4: got to live this life and like just chase my

23
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 4: dreams and then like live it as like.

24
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,240

Speaker 3: in I'm Bob by the way, so nice to meet you.

27
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: So my wife was very excited that I'd be interviewing

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: you today because she's also a cal Berkeley grad.

29
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 5: Gore's excellent years.

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: Yes, she's much younger than me. So she just turned forty.

31
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm even allowed to say that,

32
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: but so she would have.

33
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: Been I don't even know what years that would have been,

34
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: to be honest, early two thousands.

35
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 5: I think.

36
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 4: And we may we definitely we probably know people who

37
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 4: know we have mutual connections, but I probably missed each

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 4: other a little bit.

39
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 5: I think.

40
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: So, Yeah, she was a skiing snowboard team person and

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 3: I did not know that.

42
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's so crazy.

43
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was in there.

44
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 4: The ski snow team they are like they are incredible,

45
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: Like the fact that they can somehow pass their classes

46
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 4: with the schedule that they run through in the winter,

47
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 4: it's just like, give me a break. They drive up there,

48
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 4: they ski and snowboard, then they don't sleep, and then

49
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 4: they ski and snowboard again, and they drive it back

50
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 4: and I'm like.

51
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 5: It's insane.

52
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they it's I mean, she loved it, like I

53
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: absolutely loved it. You know, her memories of being there

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: are pretty spectacular. So we always whenever we're you know,

55
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 3: in northern California, we got to swing by campus and

56
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 3: then we go to that that little downtown area which

57
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: is right near you guys. It has like the pizza

58
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: place where they just tell you what the pizza is

59
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,000

00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 3: you know you got to get there at like nine

63
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 3: am to get pizza by noon, and it's crazy.

64
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:00,519

Speaker 4: here and say it probably wanted Michael to join, but

80
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: my agency is the agency that represents me as the

00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 4: same agency that actually the same agency that represents him

82
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 4: represents me.

83
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 5: I don't know which way I knew. I need a

84
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 5: phrasey yeah, I just I just taggle on for the ride.

85
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 5: I'm sure he had something else exciting going on.

86
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 4: And they're like, but hey, we had this other guy that's,

87
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: you know, pretty good at swimming too, So how we

88
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 4: take a look.

89
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 5: And that's kind of how it came through.

90
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: And you know, at first, like we had we still

91
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 4: have two young kids, and we're like, wait, how many

92
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 4: days on the road, Like that's like kind of a

93
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 4: logistic like pretty pretty difficult. My wife's like she also

94
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: is like has a full time job, So like we

95
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: weren't really quite sure if it was gonna, you know,

96
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 4: fit our family, and then it just like we kind

97
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 4: of pieced it together, figured out we had a lot

98
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 4: of wonderful help and grandparents and things to you know,

99
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 4: give me the chance to go and have that awesome experience.

100
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's that's how I kind of came through.

101
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 4: And I think I'm really interested to hear how everybody

102
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: kind of did this because everybody's timeline.

103
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 5: I think we're pretty different. I had.

104
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 4: I had a pretty good amount of time, plenty of

105
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 4: time to prepare obviously, Like you know, I'm used to

106
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 4: these four year cycles, So if I had four years

107
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 4: to prepare, I would, but you know, I had something

108
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 4: like two months or something like that, So it was it.

109
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 5: Was still goodat for me.

110
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that it is. It is something the preparation,

111
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: and I wish I would have done more of it because,

112
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: as you know, for me, the really the hardest part

113
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 2: of this whole experience was the in between the tasks

114
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 2: running with our burken our rocks, whatever you want to

115
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: call them, running with those giant things on our backs.

116
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: And for you it's I mean, you're what six three six.

117
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 6: Four six sixty six.

118
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,119
Speaker 2: Okay six three dwarfs when you're when you're that tall,

119
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: I'm five to two so you know, it's six three

120
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,559
Speaker 2: sixty six whatever it is. Well, when you're six six

121
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: and you're carrying a thirty five pound pack, it's probably

122
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: not as traumatizing to your body as it is for

123
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: a five to two, you know, smaller person. But gosh,

124
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: that was the hard part for me. And you know

125
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: that because you helped me. Oh my gosh, he's one

126
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: of my angels, Bob, he helped me.

127
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 5: I love it.

128
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: I mean he was literally holding my hand or my own.

129
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 5: I'm so drying. No, it's so kind.

130
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: I know, man, I'm glad you were there for her, sir,

131
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: thank you.

132
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 5: It really is like they're not pulling me punch us, you.

133
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 4: Know, like people like people are thinking like, hey, maybe

134
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 4: they'll like adjust it for me or you know, well

135
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 4: we'll try to try to make it a little bit different,

136
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 4: but it's just like no, and like.

137
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 5: They it's just it is what it is. Yeah.

138
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I weigh two hundred and thirty pounds walking

139
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 4: around normally, so like a forty pound rucksack is really

140
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 4: a pretty not It's not like by any means, but

141
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: it's a pretty insignificant, like percentage of my body weight

142
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 4: compared to someone who's smaller than me. Like, if you

143
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 4: really were to scale that up, I mean, I'd be

144
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 4: carrying over one hundred pounds or something.

145
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 5: So it's not.

146
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: I mean I felt for some of the smaller competitors,

147
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 4: just competitors, I don't know, I don't know, participants everybody, right,

148
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 4: just a competition is like as cheesy as it sounds, like,

149
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 4: this is definitely like a competition against yourself.

150
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 5: Like there's just no way to remove the cheesiness from that.

151
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 5: But it's like so.

152
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: True, totally so true. It is so true, and I

153
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: like that it's you know, like within yourself because you

154
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: really have to push yourself for yourself. That's kind of

155
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: one of the things that I was drawn to the

156
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: show about because if it was a competition against each other,

157
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: I knew I would be like, Okay, well I'm going

158
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: to be the slim Pickens, I'm going to be the

159
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: last one. Show isn't at the playground, you know, Like,

160
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: but the fact that we can do this for ourselves

161
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: and have this opportunity. You're so right, you you worded

162
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: it perfectly.

163
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 5: I'm just curious.

164
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: You know, you said something earlier that I thought was

165
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 3: really interesting when you said you had like two months

166
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 3: to prepare and and I don't know, I don't actually

167
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 3: know Trista what your timeline was.

168
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 5: But how do you prepare?

169
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: Like are you just is it one of those things

170
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: where you know, especially for you as an olympian, are

171
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: you focusing on the things that you don't do every day?

172
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: Because I mean, obviously you you know, a swimming situation

173
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 3: is not gonna you know, You're not gonna be a

174
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 3: struggle for you. So are you just thinking about like

175
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 3: every like movie you've ever watched, like Platoon, and you're like, Okay,

176
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna hike hills.

177
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 5: I'm kind of you know, like what do you do?

178
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to prepare?

179
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wish I would have been more thoughtful about it,

180
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 4: to be honest, I really I personally was most concerned

181
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: about the running part because I am a horizontal athlete,

182
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: Like I am so used to being in the pool

183
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 4: in like a weird, like kind of like role buoyancy

184
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 4: situation that might like joints are not really made for

185
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 4: being vertical and carrying that load that rock would have

186
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 4: definitely if I didn't prepare for those two months, my

187
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 4: knees and hips would have been really messed up even

188
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 4: after a couple of days.

189
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 5: So I did. I did that, and I kind of

190
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 5: like I progressively overloaded it.

191
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 4: You know, I only started with you know, rocking around

192
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 4: for a mile and took a day off, and then

193
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 4: I went another mile and then like increased that load

194
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 4: until it just wasn't that big of a deal anymore.

195
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 4: But then the other training, I mean, I just stayed

196
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 4: in shape, knowing that like you know, I have, I

197
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 4: have a pretty robust like cardiovascular and pulmonary system that

198
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 4: I built up over thirty years of swimming that would hopefully.

199
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 5: Carry me through. And yeah, I do, I do wish

200
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 5: I would have.

201
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 4: Like looking back and trying not to you know, give

202
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: give anything away, but like probably should talk to some

203
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 4: more people and like designed like different scenarios based off

204
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,119
Speaker 4: of their experience, or like found a coach.

205
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 5: That was like prepared. It's really like, you know, I

206
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 5: found someone who was maybe.

207
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: Training people or like special horses or Navy seal like

208
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: X Navy sealers preparing the next generation of that, and

209
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 4: be like kind of get a little bit of that

210
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 4: because it really is so different than sports, right, the experience,

211
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 4: and I think that there was no way of me

212
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 4: knowing that without experiencing it, So yeah, I should have

213
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 4: done a better job of asking for help.

214
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: I was asked. I think it was in February and

215
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: we left in May, and but I don't know if

216
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: we talked about this, bob. But medically they were not

217
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 2: going to clear me because yeah, so like a month in,

218
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: maybe a couple of weeks in, I went through like

219
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:14,119
Speaker 2: the medical clearance and I've had lower back surgery affusion,

220
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: and they kept saying, well, we just don't know if

221
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 2: you're going to be able to how would you be

222
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: getting pushed off a boat? Is what they were telling me.

223
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: And I was like, what do you mean like a

224
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: moving boat? I don't know if anyone's going to be

225
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: well okay with that? So basically I had to fight,

226
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: Like I got doctors who did my surgery involved saying

227
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: like like telling them the medical guys over in the

228
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: UK because the production company is over in the UK,

229
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: telling them, you know, she's fine, she's great, she had

230
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 2: this surgery and now she's amazing, she was better than

231
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: she was before kind of thing. And so during that

232
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: time when I was it was questionable, I actually stopped training,

233
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: which I shouldn't have. I am so superstitious, and I

234
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: was like, I'm not going to train because then they're

235
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: not going to prove me to go on the show.

236
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 2: So I totally screwed myself and those moments that I

237
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: just mentioned, like Nathan was one of my angels, the

238
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 2: running part, because I've never been a runner. I was

239
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: fifty one when we filmed. Like, I haven't been working

240
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: out consistently. You know, I'm not an olympian, I'm not

241
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: an ex NFL guy. I'm not a pro serf for like,

242
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: all of these people that were on the show have

243
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: like some kind of athletic background. Even Ali was crushing

244
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 2: it in the gym before, like she was working out

245
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: three times a day.

246
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 4: Wow.

247
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: And anyway, so I share that sentiment Nathan in that

248
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: I should have. Obviously I should have still been training

249
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: when they were when we were going through the stuff

250
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: to get me approved but are cleared. But yeah, I

251
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: just wish I would. And I actually talked to a

252
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: few people, actually two people who had been on the show,

253
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: Hannah Brown, who was also a bachelorette, and then Body

254
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: Miller is friends of friends of friends of mine, and

255
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: he was at an event and so I got to

256
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: talk to him in person, and he thought that they

257
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: were going to change the relativity of the weight of

258
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: the of the rocks for people. He was like, they've

259
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: talked about changing the weight, so maybe they would make it,

260
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: you know, less of an issue for the smaller people.

261
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: But obviously that did not change.

262
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 5: You know.

263
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 2: But you know, part of me is like, yeah, I,

264
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: in all fairness, yes, but I have two friends who

265
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: are Navy Seals. They were on Seal Team six, like

266
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 2: they're legit, and one of them is still kind of

267
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: involved with Navy Seals. And he said that a lot

268
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: of women don't make it through Special Forces just for biology,

269
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: like the way that our bodies are shaped, and we're

270
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: usually smaller, and you know anyway that women don't necessarily

271
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: do well in the Special Forces because of just the

272
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: like how our bodies are made. So I feel like,

273
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: if we truly were going to Special Forces training, they're

274
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: not going to freaking change anything for women, So why

275
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: should we get any special treatment?

276
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 7: You know?

277
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, that's two sides of that coin. I mean

278
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 5: it just like it just would have been I think

279
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 5: it would have been nice to.

280
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 4: Special Forces is hard in so many different ways, right, Yeah,

281
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 4: so many different ways, but you would have experienced something

282
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 4: that was extraordinarily difficult if that rock was only twenty

283
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 4: five pounds for you instead of forty, Like, yeah, I

284
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 4: definitely believe that. So for the sake of, like, you know,

285
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 4: the narrative and the storyline, maybe, But but then again

286
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 4: there is another aspect where it's like when people ask me,

287
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 4: are like how do people ask you all the time?

288
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 5: Like is it real? Is it? Like? Are they how

289
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 5: serious is it?

290
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 4: And I'm like they like made it feel and like

291
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 4: the second that you exited the show, did it feel

292
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 4: like you came out of the matrix?

293
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 5: Like what's going on?

294
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 3: No?

295
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 5: Honestly, like when you are.

296
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 4: In there, you are like we are the only freaking

297
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 4: people around. There are only cows. When you're in there,

298
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 4: you just feel like you are in the middle of nowhere.

299
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 4: It is only you and like the DS and and

300
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 4: you're like fellow people on special horses. And then like

301
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 4: the second you're done, it's like, oh, there's a car

302
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 4: like a Mercellan.

303
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 5: Are you tips and stuff?

304
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 7: Like there's like hundreds of us all over here in

305
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 7: this tent that's just completely hidden and we're just making

306
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 7: absolutely zero noise somehow from everybody that's in the show.

307
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 5: It is. It is a trip, man, it is a trip.

308
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: You're right. But it's very similar to like all reality.

309
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 2: Like I literally just did an interview for a girl

310
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: yesterday whose friends were actually friends and friends. I don't

311
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: need to get into it, but she's doing something a

312
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: thesis project, and so she was asking all these questions

313
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: of reality television and how real is it? And you know,

314
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: all the same questions that everyone asks. And it's the same,

315
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: like there are producers who are walking around on Bachelor, Bachelorette.

316
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 2: You might be on a helicopter in a fancy date

317
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: and not a helicopter that you're jumping onto from a

318
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: moving boat. But but it is. It is very much unscripted,

319
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: like you have certain as like dates on Bachelor, like

320
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 2: that you're going, you know, you're going to these tasks

321
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: and the cameras are just following you. The drones, I'm

322
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 2: sure there were drones. Were there drones? Do you remember

323
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: if there were drones?

324
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 5: Oh, there had to be some of the camera angles

325
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 5: that even the previous drones.

326
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, so oh actually I think I do remember.

327
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: Do you remember the drones? The for I'm not giving

328
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: anything away. The very first day on the boat before

329
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 2: the ship went down, I remember drones coming over the

330
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: boat and we were like, oh, shit's about to get real,

331
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: Like we got cameras.

332
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 5: That's funny. I do remember that. I do remember that.

333
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, crazy, So that's insane. That was what was

334
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: the hardest part for you, because obviously it's not just physical.

335
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 2: There's there's the whole mental part, emotional.

336
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 4: I feel like, yeah, man, without trying to give anything away,

337
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 4: I feel like I was just starting to hit my

338
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 4: groove because I was just so nervous and trying to

339
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 4: figure out feel everything going on, like right at the beginning,

340
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 4: and like there's just this like weird thing because I

341
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 4: just have not experienced that much, like adrenaline just constantly coursing.

342
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 5: To my veins and like a long time, really long time,

343
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 5: and it was just so like.

344
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 4: It was like in the Olympic world. It's so acute

345
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 4: and you learn to manage it. Like you are four

346
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 4: hours out from your Olympic final race. It's like you're

347
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 4: letting it come up. You're letting it. You're letting this

348
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 4: excitement enter your body, experience it, experience it, let it

349
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 4: hour you essentially, and then the moments after that race,

350
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 4: like everything you do is to shut it off, Like

351
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 4: it's kind of like a dimmer switch. You're gonna like

352
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 4: you're gonna go warm down, You're gonna do like some

353
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 4: breath work, you're gonna do like all.

354
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 5: These different things to get your body in like the

355
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 5: recovery mode.

356
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 4: But like this whole thing, Like for me, I was

357
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 4: just freaked out the whole time.

358
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 5: I was worried about them yelling at us. I was

359
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 5: worried about like getting.

360
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 4: Like getting like caught out in the middle of the

361
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 4: night doing this, doing that, Like I I didn't learn how.

362
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 4: I didn't like practice that skill of like kind of

363
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 4: calming down after like the craziness.

364
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 5: And then like.

365
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 4: Towards like the end of my time there is like

366
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 4: when I started realizing, oh, like you know, the car

367
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 4: rides are you know, relatively calm, Like as long as

368
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 4: I'm semi ready and like my rough is packed, like

369
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 4: I can close my eyes, I can kind of relax

370
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 4: just a little bit do what I can.

371
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 2: Did you ever feel like you could, Were you ever

372
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: packed and ready and you felt like you could close

373
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: your eyes? Because I could never fee I never felt that.

374
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: I don't.

375
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 5: I was closed. Honestly.

376
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 4: At one point, I was like, I am not sure

377
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 4: that the perfection that they like can come to expect

378
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 4: is even possible. Was like maybe just maybe they really

379
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 4: just choose to like punish us when they want to

380
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 4: there it's too easy.

381
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 5: Right now, I'm gonna I'm gonna find something, and like

382
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 5: it's not possible. Time my shoes right over left and

383
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 5: like someone else tied their left over right like okay,

384
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 5: punish ups like we deserve it.

385
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Like I kind of I I eventually kind

386
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 4: of came to that conclusion.

387
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm wrong, but that's that's where it came for me. Yeah,

388
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 5: And to your point, I mean I definitely did not.

389
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 4: I did not, like I would call any of the

390
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 4: times that like my eyes were closed at.

391
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 5: Night, like just like meditation, not so much actual sleep.

392
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 5: It was just like not even close to real real sleep.

393
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 5: I yeah, not, I didn't.

394
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 3: Was it because you were just like thinking they're going

395
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 3: to wake you up, so you didn't even want Like

396
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 3: I'm like that when I have an early morning flight.

397
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 4: You know, I truly didn't know what to expect. I mean,

398
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 4: there was just so many emotions going through your head. Man,

399
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 4: this is such a cool experience. I wonder what's going

400
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 4: to happen next. Oh my god, are they going to

401
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 4: crush us?

402
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 5: Like?

403
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 4: Wait, is that like someone's snorting right now? Oh, is

404
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 4: somebody getting up to the feet Like, Oh, the cameras

405
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 4: haven't moved.

406
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 5: But are they still on? You know, all the all.

407
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 4: The different things that like that just go through your

408
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 4: head that you just there's just it's a lot. We're

409
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 4: also in this big side there's like rat I'm sure

410
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 4: there were mice and rats and spiders everything.

411
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 2: Oh everywhere everywhere. But I have to point out, so

412
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: Nathan six ' six and we're laying on standard cots.

413
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: Did you didn't have like an extended cot, did you?

414
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 4: I think cam and I I can't remember, but I

415
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 4: think they might have put like an extra like egg

416
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 4: crate or something apple crate at the end of it.

417
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 2: Maybe, yes, yes, the crates at the end of the bed.

418
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 2: And weren't you guys like you guys were across from each.

419
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 5: Other each other? Yeah, we were across.

420
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, like because because I'm tiny and I

421
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: can just crawl up in a ball pretty much anywhere,

422
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 2: but for someone who's six ' six and being able

423
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 2: to sleep on those cots is hard regardless. So if

424
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 2: you're larger than the cot, can't be that fun, you know.

425
00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 5: And you guys are all on the same like bear

426
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 5: type situation. You're on that same little room.

427
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and you couldn't leave unless you had a buddy.

428
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 5: That's right, that's right again. One of those things that

429
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 5: I mean I meant to ask. I meant to ask

430
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 5: at the reunion, like did that loosen up or not?

431
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 4: Because like officially you were not you were not supposed

432
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 4: to leave without a buddy, But at least those first

433
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 4: couple days you.

434
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 5: Could kind of get away with it a little bit.

435
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 5: People started getting a little bit looser with it. They

436
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 5: kind of like scurry and do their thing.

437
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 2: I know, I know. I was always like, oh crap,

438
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: because I am such a rule follower, and I was like, no,

439
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 2: don't get us in trouble by leaving on your own.

440
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: Don't go pee by yourself. You always had to have

441
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: a buddy. So we were in this one room was

442
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: our barracks or what they call it accommodations, and then

443
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 2: there was like a kind of like a like a

444
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 2: workout area if you will in the middle. But it

445
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: wasn't a workout area. It's like torture chamber, you know, Yeah,

446
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: the mud pit. And then there's a warming room because

447
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: we were in way hills and we were constantly wet,

448
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: and so you had to like you had two sets

449
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 2: of clothes and you had to keep one of them

450
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: dry at all times, so you had to keep those

451
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 2: in the warming room. And to get like prime real

452
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: estate is like worth a lot in the warming room

453
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 2: because there's like three little what do you call them,

454
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 2: like little fire pit stove, Yeah, and they to get

455
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: a place by those was like, you know, you're fighting

456
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: for your life just to get your clothes.

457
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 4: Dry, and you're like you're balancing this thing where like

458
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 4: you want to get it really close to the stove,

459
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 4: but you don't want to lay on fire.

460
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: Socks, especially putting the socks over the like the stove

461
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 2: door on the door.

462
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: I mean, everybody, that just sounds brutal to me.

463
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 2: What did your kids think? Did you tell your kids

464
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: before you left or did you wait when you got back?

465
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: And how how do they feel do they know about it?

466
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 2: How do they feel about it now?

467
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 5: But too young? I mean, my yes was just a

468
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 5: little over three at the time, so yeah, yeah, it

469
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 5: was just kind of like Dade was gone for a

470
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 5: little bit. The youngest probably didn't.

471
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 4: The youngest definitely, like I'm kind of the default parent

472
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 4: to the youngest one, so she missed me a lot.

473
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 4: But yeah, and I talk too, because even Wednesday, like

474
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 4: when this like when the premiere comes out, I'm we're

475
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 4: gonna they're not really old enough to watch it either,

476
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 4: go do some of these things.

477
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 5: So I think it's really just going to kind of

478
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 5: be in the back pocket.

479
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 4: You know, when the time is right, maybe we'll sit

480
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 4: down and we'll we'll watch it and uh and see

481
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 4: what they think then how about you.

482
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: I so all my my whole I mean, my kids

483
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 2: are older, obviously, they're fifteen and seventeen. So I talked

484
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 2: to them about it before because when I was trying

485
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: to figure out whether or not to do it, I

486
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 2: wanted to know what my kids thought. And my son

487
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 2: especially was like, cool, like you know, go do that,

488
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: that'd be cool. He actually is interested in going into

489
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 2: the military possibly after high school, so and Navy Seals,

490
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: And I honestly wonder because that is like a recent

491
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 2: discovery about him that he wants to go into the

492
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 2: Navy seals, and it was one of his hockey buddies.

493
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 2: His dad was a Navy seal, and that's where I

494
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: think it started. But I wonder if doing this show

495
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 2: maybe inspired him. I'd love to, you know, it'd be interesting.

496
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 4: I certainly think at least a little bit, and maybe

497
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 4: some of the research that he did.

498
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 5: Watching the other I mean, the other.

499
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 4: Season still give me goosebumps, Like if I ever like

500
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 4: if I'm ever like hurting, like walking on like one

501
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 4: of those days that you don't want to wake up

502
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 4: and go to the gym, like on the way there,

503
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 4: you just throw it on. It's ten minutes of it.

504
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 4: It's just a little bit little little goose Yeah, I

505
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 4: know this, I mean, this is going to be I

506
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: didn't realize that the episode is gonna be two hours.

507
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: Two hours, yes, so each episode is two hours and

508
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 2: they're only doing five episodes. So I think that's why

509
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 2: they did a two hour show. But if you think

510
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 2: about it, so Bob and I being from the world

511
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: of reality television, it's you know, part of our normal

512
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: uh vernacular. If you're will, if you will. But but

513
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: they they put so much on the cutting room floor,

514
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 2: Like two hours is really is so minimal compared to

515
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: what we experienced, Like, I really wonder what will make

516
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: the show Jesus past.

517
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: How many episodes did they do?

518
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 5: Was it always two hours? Five? I do think it's

519
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 5: usually one hour per day? Is that right? Yeah?

520
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I think so. I think they usually have one

521
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: hour episodes and it's ten episodes. Okay, so this time

522
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: they just it's the same amount of time. It's just

523
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 2: a longer episode in one yeah, yeah.

524
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 4: Just I think to your point, like I am, I'm

525
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 4: so curious because like the way that everything happened, like

526
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 4: it wasn't a linear timeline though, like people dropping out, it.

527
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 5: Was like insanity.

528
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 4: And then I think they're the slowed down a little

529
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 4: bit so they might be able to dilate that time

530
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 4: that everyone was there just a little bit to kind of.

531
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 5: Tell the stories because there were so many, so many

532
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,239
Speaker 5: interesting ones. But how they do it, I'm not I

533
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 5: don't know. You got you all know if it's possible

534
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 5: a lot better than I do.

535
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 3: I would think, Like the biggest fear that people have

536
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 3: a lot of times when they see themselves on TV

537
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 3: is you know what they're doing in that moment right

538
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 3: like oh my god, Like you know, if you're if

539
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 3: you're like look at the camera and you got you know,

540
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 3: like stuff running out of your notes or.

541
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 5: Something, you got something in your teeth.

542
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

543
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 3: So like when you saw yourself and you saw when

544
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 3: you saw the package they put together for you, were

545
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 3: you you know, were you like happy about it or

546
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: did you look at it and you're just like, oh

547
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 3: my god, it looks so bad, or you know, cause

548
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 3: you're used to seeing yourself on the on the podium

549
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 3: getting a gold medal.

550
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 5: You know.

551
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 4: Man, I actually just add of necessity, I stopped watching

552
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 4: my own interviews, stopped watching myself on the podium. I

553
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 4: just experienced it through myself because I really I dialed

554
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 4: in how to compete, how to train, how to how

555
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 4: to do my swimming thing, Yeah.

556
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 5: As perfectly as I could.

557
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 4: And there were a couple of experiences where I was

558
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 4: paying attention to what was going on the outside, I

559
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 4: was being perceived et cetera that affected me and I'm like,

560
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 4: what what what Like that's completely out of my control.

561
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 4: So I stopped paying attention and and for this, honestly,

562
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 4: I I was going to ask you all, like how

563
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 4: how to do it like for me or do just

564
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 4: everybody have their own different way that they that they

565
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 4: watch because like I am going to do like a

566
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 4: little viewing party with some close friends and I was like, no,

567
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 4: I don't want to do this massive thing, Like I

568
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 4: don't want like every person from preschool there at the

569
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 4: same time, like like maybe just some of my closest

570
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 4: friends who see me in like vulnerable situations and been

571
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,719
Speaker 4: there through through those tough times, just because like you know,

572
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 4: for me, it's it's it's like there's a personal aspect

573
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 4: of it there, like and on top of that, like

574
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 4: they had footage from US twenty four to seven. They

575
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 4: can make us look whatever they want, so it is

576
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 4: for me, I don't know. I'm just kind of walking

577
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 4: through it with like an open heart and open mind,

578
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 4: kind of kind of putting my trust in like the

579
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 4: producers and just.

580
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 5: Saying it is, it is going to be what it is.

581
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 4: And then even if it's a perception that I don't

582
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 4: necessarily agree with or love, like I'm going to be

583
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 4: with those who know me the best, who know that

584
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 4: well they love me for some reason, and it's it's

585
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 4: not because there are lots.

586
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 2: Of reasons yeah, I think that's a great perspective to have.

587
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: I can share the same thing. But I think that's

588
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: how you get through it is you know deep down

589
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 2: who are your people and who love you, and they're

590
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: always going to love you no matter how you look

591
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: on this show. You know, the show will be temporary,

592
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 2: It'll come and go. People get hyped about it, and

593
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: then you know, twenty years later they might still be

594
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: talking about it. But as when it comes to my wedding.

595
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: But and you know all that. But but I think

596
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 2: as long as you stay grounded in your truth and

597
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 2: why you did it, and and I don't think you

598
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 2: can look bad on this show. I'm just going to

599
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 2: say that I don't think you can look bad.

600
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you as someone who's not been on

601
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 3: it or not gone through what you guys have gone through.

602
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 3: But I definitely have seen the previews, and I've seen

603
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 3: elements of the show in the past.

604
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: I will definitely be watching this one, by the way.

605
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 3: But I think you have to write that's the right

606
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 3: recipe for sure, Like whenever you put yourself out there,

607
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: you know you're going to have the people who would

608
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 3: never be in that situation in a million years who

609
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 3: are going to have opinions about it. So, like you said,

610
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 3: you put your blinders on and stay focused and you know,

611
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: on your family, your friends, the people that you love.

612
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 5: And don't worry about the rest of the noise. Right.

613
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,239
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, it's like, I

614
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 3: think it's a different world today than when Trista and

615
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 3: I were both you know, on the Bacherette and then

616
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 3: The Bachelor. It's like, you know, nowadays, it's like everything

617
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 3: is out there, you know, it's like and it's all,

618
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 3: like you said, twenty four hours of footage and you're

619
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 3: gonna have something in your teeth, You're gonna have something

620
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 3: on your face. I mean, you guys are in the

621
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: middle of it all, you know, going through the most

622
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 3: brutal training and everything that anyone's ever done. So I

623
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 3: think from that perspective, it's going to be amazing viewing,

624
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 3: like from a from a viewership perspective. And I just

625
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 3: I have nothing but admiration for everyone that signed up

626
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: to do this show because I'm looking at it from

627
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 3: the standpoint of, man, could I put myself out there

628
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 3: and do that? And I mean I've known Tristan for

629
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 3: twenty years and It's like when she told me she

630
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 3: did it, I'm.

631
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 5: Like, oh my god, how could you do this? Like

632
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 5: this is insane?

633
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 3: D you know because in my mind I'm like, would

634
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 3: I do it if they asked me? I want to

635
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 3: believe I would, but part of me is like, I

636
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 3: don't think I could get through it, man, I mean,

637
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 3: you know, I just don't think I could.

638
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 5: So I can only.

639
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: Imagine what you guys are going to be experiencing emotionally

640
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 3: watching it too.

641
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be awesome for y'all.

642
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 2: I think I think it will be.

643
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 4: I don't know, like, did you like did you have

644
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 4: you been to a place emotionally in your like real

645
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 4: life in the last ten years where you were there?

646
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 7: Wow?

647
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 2: I was not. I have never been challenged emotionally like

648
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: that in my entire life. The only thing that comes

649
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: close is it took me a really long time to

650
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 2: get pregnant. That was hard. I had a really difficult

651
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: delivery with my first and then I had a seizure

652
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 2: about seven years ago on vacation. It's we don't even

653
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 2: need to get into it, but that that the seizure

654
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: was probably like because it was like I and I

655
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: could have died in my delivery too, but I faced

656
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: it like I actually have a whole thing where I

657
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 2: think it was a near death experience because I went

658
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: to this place of white euphoria and it. Yeah, so

659
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: I feel like I was very close to death in

660
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:28,959
Speaker 2: that moment. And that is the only comparison, because I

661
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: feel like you are pushed so freaking hard on the show,

662
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 2: and not just like in trying to keep up in

663
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 2: like the guy's yelling at you. You know, you see

664
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 2: in the trailer where Q is like right next to me,

665
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 2: like and I've told people about this, how I'm trying

666
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 2: to get out of the beach. I'm trying to leave

667
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 2: and he is literally right there being like you shouldn't

668
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: be here, hurry up. Everyone's waiting for you, like all

669
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 2: you know, all the things and all the things that

670
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 2: I'm already telling myself in my head like I shouldn't

671
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: be here. I'm a burden, like all you know, all

672
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: of these things. But I think that's why they do it.

673
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 2: Tell me if you feel the same way, because so

674
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: in the trailer, you hear me say, you know, I'm

675
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 2: talking to my devil and my angel on my shoulder,

676
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 2: right and so human nature. It's human nature. I feel

677
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: like to doubt yourself. You're gonna have these doubts, like

678
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: the devil is constantly saying, you can't keep up with everybody,

679
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 2: You should not be here. Why are you doing this show?

680
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 2: This is stupid, you know, And so you're telling yourself

681
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 2: all of these things already. I think that they tell

682
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 2: you those things as not inside your body. They're telling

683
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 2: you so that you can say, Hugh, I'm gonna I'm

684
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 2: gonna prove you wrong, and so you can find an

685
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 2: inner strength to fight against somebody else, because it's really

686
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 2: hard to fight against your self sometimes. But if you

687
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 2: can put that like onus, on somebody else and be like,

688
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 2: screw off, I'm gonna I'm gonna prove you wrong and

689
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to do this. How what's your What are

690
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 2: your thoughts on that?

691
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 5: That's I love that. I think we probably we have

692
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:16,479
Speaker 5: really similar thoughts.

693
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 4: Ex that mine just come from this place of like

694
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 4: physical performance, because that's like my entire life and like

695
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 4: the lens of that through which I see everything.

696
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 5: And honestly I'm trying I'm.

697
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 4: Trying to kind of shift that perspective into maybe like

698
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 4: more like real life things parenting and running business and

699
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 4: all those sorts of things. But like for me, I

700
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 4: mean there was just like I really had I after retiring,

701
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 4: I didn't really realize.

702
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 5: Like how much I missed having a coach.

703
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 4: And like and I like journaled for like a day

704
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 4: or two afterwards, and just like because I whatever whatever

705
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 4: after I was, I can't because it kind of gives away.

706
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 2: When I when I understood, but.

707
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 4: I really realized that, Hey, like I along with other people,

708
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 4: and I don't know if it's if it's to a

709
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 4: greater degree than anybody, but a told people pleaser and

710
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 4: then like once you find a safe place to be

711
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 4: that because like in real life you're kind of like

712
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 4: people pleaser. But like am I like is this too much?

713
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 4: Is this like not enough? Like is this weird balance?

714
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 5: Like you're driving and you're like should I have like

715
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 5: let that person go in front of me or not?

716
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 6: Like wait a minute, you know, and like but in

717
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 6: this situation, it's just like I, I mean, I trusted

718
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 6: the DS with my life, and I believed them when

719
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 6: they said that they could bring you to a place

720
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 6: that you've never been before.

721
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 4: And I think those two things like really brought me

722
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 4: to a place where I was like, holy crap either right,

723
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 4: like it.

724
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 5: Was it was crazy. I mean in one of the.

725
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 4: One of the moments, like I was carrying a log

726
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 4: by myself and.

727
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 5: Like Billy was screaming at me to like brody, and

728
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 5: I was like like turn it on the turbo.

729
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 4: And then I was like wait, hold up, like yet,

730
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 4: like that's crazy because for me, I thought I was

731
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 4: running as fast as I could Billy told me to

732
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 4: turn on the turbo. But then there was it was

733
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 4: a little devil in my head that was like yo,

734
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 4: like you turn on the turbo too much, like.

735
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 5: You know what can happen?

736
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 4: And I think, like you talking about body a little bit,

737
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 4: Like that's that's where my mind went because like a

738
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 4: lot of the athletes do have this ability to like

739
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 4: to go turbo a little bit to the point where

740
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 4: they're going to hurt themselves.

741
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 5: So I like I turned it on. I started catching him, and.

742
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 4: Then I was like wait, hold on, Like that was

743
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 4: a really cool thing, but like we're we're not done

744
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 4: here yet. We might have like an hour or two

745
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 4: longer of this, like let's just get this log too

746
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 4: over there. But like that moment actually really sticks with me.

747
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 4: As I like reflect on my time, then I'm like,

748
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 4: in a way, I'm like, yeah, like I still got it,

749
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 4: like that that little like extra gear is still there

750
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 4: and it is so hard to reach when you're in

751
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 4: a gym and where I work out.

752
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 5: Isn't necessarily a lot of young people.

753
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 4: That I go or something like I just don't have that,

754
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 4: and like having that like oh that's right, like let's

755
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 4: fucking go kind of spirit mentality was just so refreshing

756
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 4: because the grind and absolute marathon of parenting two young children,

757
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 4: you don't have a lot of the LFG moments except

758
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 4: for like LFG exercise your patience more tonight.

759
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 5: I mean like last night, I think bedtime.

760
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 4: Took like over two hours and I slept on a

761
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 4: twin bed speaking of a cot just because we're having

762
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 4: some issues with climbing out of cribs and things.

763
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have like LFG moments all the time for

764
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 3: like bluey marathons and things like that, so I get it.

765
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 5: At least it is blue. Oh my gosh, we had

766
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 5: to make the transition to blue. Like gosh, that's a

767
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 5: whole other topic that we could talk about forever of

768
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 5: the programming. That just automatically pops up now is absurd.

769
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 4: It's just like it's drugs and is drugs for my kids,

770
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 4: and like I we try not to do. We just

771
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 4: finished the holidays, Like forgive me sorry, I let them

772
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 4: have some screen time, but like we've got to re

773
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 4: let back in. Holy crap some of that. Yeah, it's

774
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 4: just wild.

775
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 2: That's hard to do too, Okay. I love your perspective,

776
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 2: and I feel like that is so true that had

777
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 2: like thinking about that moment where Q is just yelling

778
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 2: his head off at me, and I'm going, I'm crying

779
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 2: the whole time, but I'm going, had it been real life,

780
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 2: totally would have stopped and been like Ryan, can you

781
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 2: carry my backpack?

782
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 5: You know?

783
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: And and I'll.

784
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 2: Get there when I get there, and I'm not going

785
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 2: to cry about it, you know. But you're so right

786
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 2: that I think that is one of my learning lessons

787
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 2: looking back, and I love that. That's kind of what

788
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 2: you've taken away too, is that you do have the

789
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: capability to push yourself harder than you ever thought you could, right.

790
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and like figuring out how to get there

791
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 4: because you can't go there every.

792
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 5: Day, you know.

793
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 4: That's that is how burnout happens, but like figuring out

794
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 4: for yourself how you get yourself there and then what

795
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 4: you need to do to recover it. When I talked

796
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 4: to kids, all so I do. I still do canceling

797
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 4: clanks for for swimmers all the time. And when I

798
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 4: talked to I was like, it's the turbo button.

799
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 5: It really is.

800
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 4: It's like and and like I don't even know if

801
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 4: that's still a thing on like PIFA, Like I'm talking

802
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 4: about NBA JAM like two thousand and two. At this point,

803
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 4: you got to figure out when you can press the

804
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 4: turbo button, and then you got to figure out what

805
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 4: fills your turbo.

806
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 5: Button back up again, you know. And and I think.

807
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 4: That was you know, that that was a we were

808
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:47,919
Speaker 4: we were in full on turbo mode there.

809
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, but I feel like the turbo button

810
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 2: was being pushed by somebody else and it was all

811
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 2: on all the time.

812
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, there was something like it was like those

813
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 8: the time that we were spent just like you were

814
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 8: learning so much about yourself and how to get there

815
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 8: and how to experience it and.

816
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 5: How to harness the power of it. But like then yeah,

817
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 5: when it's over, I'm like I'm good I'm good.

818
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 1: No more turbo button needed for I'm good.

819
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 2: I don't need a turbo button, no more, No more

820
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 2: turbo button for me. Yeah, And I feel like that's

821
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 2: just how you get as you get older, too. And

822
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 2: so since I'm fifty one, I don't know I think

823
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 2: Stephen is the oldest. Denise might. I think she's around

824
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 2: my same age, but and I don't know how old

825
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 2: Mary it is. Anyway, my point was maybe I'm the oldest. No,

826
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm the oldest, but I feel like

827
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 2: you have that kind of perspective, like I've lived my life,

828
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 2: you know, I'm good, I'm setting my ways, like I

829
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 2: know what I like, I know what I don't like,

830
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: and running is something I don't like, and I'm doing

831
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 2: a lot of it.

832
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 3: And I was going to ask too, like especially for you, Nathan,

833
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 3: on this will because I think this might be and

834
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 3: I hope this doesn't come off sexist, but it might

835
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 3: be a guy thing. But like I always think like

836
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 3: the Navy Seal team stuff as like the ultimate badassery

837
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 3: out there, you know what I mean. So it's like

838
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 3: in my mind, I mean, I watch every one of

839
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 3: those shows, right, I watch you know, Jack Ryan, and

840
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 3: I watch you know, every everything that comes out.

841
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: Any movie that's got anything to do with it, I'm

842
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: on it.

843
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 3: And so when I like get curious about this stuff

844
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 3: is because part of me thinks, like I always watch

845
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 3: the show. My wife laughs at me all the time,

846
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,959
Speaker 3: she go, Okay, so now you think you're a spy.

847
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 3: I'm like, yes, I think I could be a fantastic spy.

848
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 3: And so I'm gonna watch this show and I'm gonna

849
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 3: be like, oh my god, I could I want to

850
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 3: do this, like I want to see if I can

851
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 3: do Was there any of that going into it where

852
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 3: you were just so fired up to see, you know,

853
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 3: especially having been an Olympic decorated Olympian thing like I

854
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 3: got this, man, I'm gonna I'm gonna print that I

855
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 3: can do this.

856
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 5: All day every day. Man, Yes, all of it, all

857
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 5: of it. Yes, of course, of course, no doubt.

858
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 4: And that was like just waiting for the next challenge

859
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 4: and like experiencing it and going through it and like

860
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 4: oh man, like it's just like it's kind of like

861
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 4: a little puzzle, like oh I mess up on this.

862
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 5: But next time I'm going to do this, I'm gonna

863
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 5: be better. Okay, next, next up, I'm a little bit better.

864
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 5: I'm a little bit better. I'm a little bit like the.

865
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 4: Same little thing in my head that just like made

866
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 4: me tick for swimming and doing it so long. It

867
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 4: was the same thing that kept me going in this too.

868
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 4: It was just like I do I want to figure

869
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 4: out how to get better, get better, get.

870
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 5: Better, like learn from learn from others around me.

871
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 4: I think that was like, you know, for me in

872
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 4: like two thousand and eight, my experience at the Olympics

873
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 4: was so interesting.

874
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 5: I was young.

875
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 4: I think I was the youngest male on the team.

876
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 4: I was nineteen years old. I swam a pre LNS

877
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 4: relay for the for one of the events, so I

878
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 4: wasn't I'm not going to say it wasn't important. But

879
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 4: without me there, the metal count wouldn't have changed at all.

880
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 4: But like, I got to see so many people do

881
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 4: extraordinary things and do it in so many different ways,

882
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 4: and I actually like think that I had a lot

883
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 4: of that same kind of those same kind of feelings

884
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 4: here where we just came from so many different aspects

885
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 4: of life, but every single person there was so extraordinary and.

886
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 5: Like I think, like I don't know just what would

887
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 5: you say, Like was the.

888
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 4: Like when you're like, what what do these people have

889
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 4: in common?

890
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 5: Like what is it? And I think I have an answer,

891
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 5: but I kind of want to hear yours first.

892
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 2: That's really interesting. I feel like I always felt like

893
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 2: going through the interview process that the reason that they

894
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 2: chose me, because clearly they're not choosing me to be

895
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 2: that badass Navy seals person, but I feel like they

896
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 2: were picking me at least. And I think this goes

897
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 2: for everybody, that people out there can relate to each

898
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 2: one of us in different ways. So for me, I'm

899
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 2: the like, you know, the mom of teenagers about to leave,

900
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 2: figuring out what I want to do with my life

901
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 2: when they're gone, and you know, everyone has their story,

902
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,479
Speaker 2: so I feel like it's we're all relatable in some way,

903
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 2: shape or form, and we're just relatable in different ways.

904
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 5: I like that.

905
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 4: I think that's that's I think that's definitely true. And

906
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 4: I think for me, I was I really am so

907
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 4: taken maybe not taken back, but like I'm just inspired

908
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 4: by everybody's agency in their life with everybody there, I think,

909
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 4: and it's like I think it really is for me,

910
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 4: and like, you know, there's I forgot who who wrote

911
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 4: the book, but is his thesis and his parentise was like,

912
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 4: it's luck.

913
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 5: It's it's luck.

914
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 4: You know, successful people is lucky. It's like, look, there

915
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 4: certainly plays a.

916
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,720
Speaker 5: Part in this. You know, I wouldn't have, you know, Olympic.

917
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 4: Gold medals in my closet if I didn't hit some

918
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 4: you know, genetic like luckiness in my in my life.

919
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 4: But there was an aspect of like taking advantage of

920
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 4: that luck. And I think each and every one of

921
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 4: us were able to do that in our lives. And

922
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 4: I thought that's seeing the different like the different ways

923
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 4: that it happened was just so so cool and being

924
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 4: able to like.

925
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 5: Be around it, like, you know, I wish I was

926
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 5: just told spend more time together.

927
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 2: I totally agree. I have been pushing for them, like

928
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 2: I'll talk to publicity. So I'm leaving today to go

929
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 2: to LA to do a like a little bit of

930
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 2: press also, and and I'm like, I just want to

931
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 2: get people together, Like I keep asking if we can

932
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 2: get people together, could we do like a a reunion

933
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,719
