Speaker 1: This is the almost famous podcast with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Always Favorite Dogs. Thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 3: It's Bob getting Trista Sutter before we get started today. Trista,
Speaker 3: there is a lot going on in the West Coast
Speaker 3: right now. I have so many of my friends who
Speaker 3: I've been texting with who have lost their homes. I
Speaker 3: mean thousands and thousands and thousands of acres of property
Speaker 3: and things just are burning and the winds. You were
Speaker 3: there to impress when this whole thing started, and you
Speaker 3: were talking about the winds and the embers and the ash,
Speaker 3: and you mentioned getting on your plane to fly back home.
Speaker 3: What was that like for you? I mean, our hearts.
Speaker 3: Our hearts go out to everyone that is experiencing this
Speaker 3: in California and the greater Los Angeles area.
Speaker 2: So many of my friends I've been texting with people.
Speaker 2: But what was that like?
Speaker 3: I mean, you kind of got to see a bird's
Speaker 3: eye view from your plane. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was in LA for a very quick press trip
Speaker 4: for Special Forces and we did Denise Richards and I
Speaker 4: did an SMT where you just you know sit.
Speaker 1: For people who don't know what that.
Speaker 4: Is, it's a satellite media tour where you just sit
Speaker 4: in one place and you do a bunch of interviews,
Speaker 4: and they canceled a bunch of them because of the winds.
Speaker 4: So the winds in La that morning were really bad,
Speaker 4: and I know there were Malibu had had some issues
Speaker 4: with fires, I believe. I don't know if they were
Speaker 4: rampant everywhere else, but that day is really when a
Speaker 4: lot of it got out of control because of spreads.
Speaker 4: I think, oh my gosh, I mean, I'm hearing about
Speaker 4: you know, not cable boxes, electrical boxes that are like exploding,
Speaker 4: and I don't know if they're the cause of this.
Speaker 4: But I was in my hotel. I was staying at
Speaker 4: the Sunset Marquee Hotel, and you all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: I was like, it smells like the hotel is on
Speaker 4: fire something. There's a fire somewhere. Look out on the
Speaker 4: balcony and the sky like you see all the pictures,
Speaker 4: it looked like that. It smelled so horrible, it was awful,
Speaker 4: and there was ash floating in the air. And then
Speaker 4: and then I'm driving to the airport and I tried
Speaker 4: to get pictures, but it was like, you know, on
Speaker 4: the highway, like blocked by you know whatever.
Speaker 3: And.
Speaker 1: It was so scary.
Speaker 4: I am so thankful that I was able to get home,
Speaker 4: and I just wish I could have brought thousands of
Speaker 4: people with me. You know, it is it is horrifying.
Speaker 4: I think every all of us know somebody who has
Speaker 4: lost a home or is in danger of losing a home,
Speaker 4: who had to evacuate.
Speaker 1: I am just my.
Speaker 4: Heart is really heavy for everybody out much way. And
Speaker 4: I have to say, you know, I'm at my premiere
Speaker 4: watch party last night while all this is going on,
Speaker 4: and we brought it up, and like we have a
Speaker 4: text with all of the recruits from the show, and
Speaker 4: we were all dealing with like do we share do
Speaker 4: we like talk about the premiere because people, you know,
Speaker 4: want to know about the premiere, but it seems very
Speaker 4: tone deaf to just yeah, not address the fires. So
Speaker 4: when I got home from the watch party, I was
Speaker 4: I had been excited because I'm like, you know, in
Speaker 4: it and watching the show with my friends and family,
Speaker 4: and and.
Speaker 1: I wanted to come home and like share about it.
Speaker 4: And then I got caught up in I got on
Speaker 4: Instagram and I was like I can't think of anything else,
Speaker 4: Like I'm just I just anyway, so we are we
Speaker 4: are thinking of everyone in LA. I've been saying my prayers.
Speaker 4: I hope everyone else out there is saying prayers. I
Speaker 4: believe in the power of prayer, and I really hope
Speaker 4: that the winds will die down so that at least
Speaker 4: they can get some containment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a bad it's a very bad scene
Speaker 3: and it's terrible. My friend, one of my really good friends,
Speaker 3: Cameron Matheson, posted a.
Speaker 2: Video of his embers of his home.
Speaker 3: His home was absolutely beautiful and it is completely gone,
Speaker 3: I mean completely gone. And I'm sure he wasn't even
Speaker 3: supposed to be up there, you know, film, but he
Speaker 3: had to check on his house at some cars that
Speaker 3: he had restored and some different things of that nature.
Speaker 3: Just I'm sure all lost. I haven't been able to
Speaker 3: get ahold of him, but I do know he's fine.
Speaker 2: And it's brutal.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's such a you know, it's such
Speaker 3: and I and I was just there too.
Speaker 2: I mean I was just.
Speaker 3: There right before you were for your premiere. I was
Speaker 3: there for ten days. And you know, it's hard. You
Speaker 3: see everybody you love and everybody you know and you've
Speaker 3: known for years, and you know, and then you come
Speaker 3: home and you're like, oh my gosh, I hope they're okay.
Speaker 3: So yeah, our hearts and our prayers and you know,
Speaker 3: all of our our good our good will is going
Speaker 3: to our friends and cal who are going through this,
Speaker 3: and we hope you guys stay safe. So and I mean,
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, this is something that, man,
Speaker 3: I get it. It seems trivial what we're you know,
Speaker 3: what we're talking about here now after everything everyone's going through.
Speaker 3: But you know, who knows, maybe maybe people can find
Speaker 3: some comfort in it too, right, talk about something else
Speaker 3: besides what they're going through.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you know, but God bless them, and uh,
Speaker 2: we're thinking about you guys.
Speaker 3: So onto our topic of the day, which is the
Speaker 3: almost famous OG Special Forces premiere episode starring Just to Suffer. Yeah,
Speaker 3: OG Bachelor And hey, I got to tell you something.
Speaker 3: You know, we've been talking about this for a little bit.
Speaker 3: I was emotional watching that show last night.
Speaker 2: I mean I really was. I was, I really was.
Speaker 3: I was. I was listening to everyone's stories and you
Speaker 3: know what's prompted you guys to do this?
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh my god, this is intense,
Speaker 2: you know, Like I.
Speaker 3: Was really into it because I know you and I
Speaker 3: love you, and I was like sitting there going trist
Speaker 3: to just challenge herself to do this stuff so outside
Speaker 3: your comfort zone. We had Denise richards On. I love
Speaker 3: Denise and you know, and and she was going through it.
Speaker 3: We had Stephen on as well, Stephen Baldwin, you know,
Speaker 3: and for him to be, you know, the first one
Speaker 3: to go home and h and almost by choice of
Speaker 3: his own but kind of not. It was it was interesting,
Speaker 3: you know, there was just a lot that happened last night.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean even from the jump of the show.
Speaker 3: You know those guys are those your your your DS team,
Speaker 3: the drill Sergeant team.
Speaker 2: They are tough customers.
Speaker 1: Okay, I got to correct you.
Speaker 2: What is right?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: But I think drill sergeant is like what you go
Speaker 4: to what you think it's supposed to be, and it's
Speaker 4: actually directing staff.
Speaker 2: Directing staff.
Speaker 3: That's probably because they're yeah, because they're not acting in
Speaker 3: a military capacity. Okay, I get it. So the directing staff,
Speaker 3: because that's why you say yes staph instead of yes, yes,
Speaker 3: yes chef, which.
Speaker 2: Is what I say.
Speaker 3: I say yes chef around the house all the time.
Speaker 3: Whenever Jessica tells me to do something, so chopped these onions, Yes, chef.
Speaker 3: But in watching it, I was like, those dudes are
Speaker 3: serious dudes, Like they've all been through it, you can tell.
Speaker 2: And they're all like built like brickshit houses.
Speaker 3: And then you guys are kind of chill, kind of
Speaker 3: not and you know, nervous, you can tell. But you're
Speaker 3: all like just conversating on that boat, seemingly all good,
Speaker 3: and next thing you know, you're getting like two hands shivered,
Speaker 3: which is a football term for people, but like basically
Speaker 3: a super hard chest or shoulder push off that boat.
Speaker 3: It seemed incredibly aggressive to me, Like I was like,
Speaker 3: whoa in the middle of like a sentence, So tell
Speaker 3: me about you you know, oh you know you get
Speaker 3: And I was just in watching it, I'm like, what
Speaker 3: the hell, Like it.
Speaker 2: Caught me off guard.
Speaker 1: Oh, believe me, it caught me off guard. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And they didn't even show my part, Like they showed
Speaker 4: nothing of what really nothing, I mean a little teeny
Speaker 4: snip of like me being pushed into the water.
Speaker 2: Yeah. That was crazy.
Speaker 4: Not much, no, not much, which is fine whatever. That
Speaker 4: was crazy because yes, we're all like having a great
Speaker 4: time and connecting or reconnecting or whatever and saying hi
Speaker 4: and introducing ourselves. And then they start throwing these these
Speaker 4: things in the water, and I was like, what are
Speaker 4: they putting in the water, Like what's happening? Like just
Speaker 4: kind of noticing it, and people are like, oh, I
Speaker 4: don't know. And then all of a sudden, you see
Speaker 4: out in the distance this black, badass boat and you're like, well,
Speaker 4: there they are.
Speaker 1: They're coming for us.
Speaker 4: And right after we saw the boat, the things that
Speaker 4: they put in the water started exploding. And so it's
Speaker 4: like it's like there are bombs going off all around you,
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden you're like fight or flight
Speaker 4: is like rack, you know, like oh my.
Speaker 1: God, what are we doing?
Speaker 2: Well then they throw those like smokernades on your boat.
Speaker 4: Right, oh yeah that too, that too, So there's like
Speaker 4: there's explosions going off. They're you know, you're safe, you're
Speaker 4: not going to be impaled, yeah, but the sounds are crazy.
Speaker 4: And so they get to our boat and start screaming
Speaker 4: just from from the jump, like you said, get down,
Speaker 4: get down, and so all of us are just hit
Speaker 4: the floor, right, And then they come around and they
Speaker 4: put and not gently it's not like they're like, okay,
Speaker 4: watch that here, you know, like shove this thing on
Speaker 4: your head, push you down, and they're yelling at us,
Speaker 4: and then they start taking us one by one and
Speaker 4: you really couldn't tell what was going on because they
Speaker 4: if you were not close to where they were pushing
Speaker 4: people off the boat, then you couldn't hear anything or
Speaker 4: may So finally my time comes and they, you know,
Speaker 4: yank the hood off.
Speaker 2: Well before you even say this, what's going through your
Speaker 2: head while you have a hood on your head and
Speaker 2: the ball? I don't know what i'd be doing. I
Speaker 2: think i'd be a stress case.
Speaker 4: I think I was focusing on my breathing because that
Speaker 4: helps calm me down. I was also trying to listen
Speaker 4: to what was happening, and literally, like you you're you're
Speaker 4: like huddled up. You you don't have the opportunities, you
Speaker 4: can't see anything. So I just kind of kept my
Speaker 4: eyes closed and and just focused on my breathing. That's it,
Speaker 4: no real big secret, But yes I was freaking out.
Speaker 4: But you know what you signed up for, so you
Speaker 4: know it's gonna essentially start something.
Speaker 1: Like that, you know.
Speaker 4: So I get to Billy and He's like, what's your name?
Speaker 4: And I'm like trist to Setter. But I I guess
Speaker 4: when I get stressed out, I talk very wyatly.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: I was just kind of like I think I was
Speaker 4: probably like trist Decetter, you know, and was like, what.
Speaker 1: Who are you?
Speaker 3: Know?
Speaker 4: Like, speak up, I can't hear you. Why why do
Speaker 4: you sound like a mouse or something like that.
Speaker 1: Like he's like and so, and I'm just kind of like,
Speaker 1: oh god, yeah, uh huh, why am I here?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I'm here because I want to make my kids proud
Speaker 1: and be a role model. And you know, da da da.
Speaker 4: And then he goes, so, do you know where you are?
Speaker 4: And I go I think I'm in Wales And he
Speaker 4: goes and like pushes me off, like I'm so frustrated
Speaker 4: with you.
Speaker 1: I'm done.
Speaker 3: And so you hit the water, which we know from
Speaker 3: your experience you've told me you're not.
Speaker 2: You don't feel like you're a strong swimmer, you don't
Speaker 2: love the water.
Speaker 4: I actually feel like I'm an okay swimmer. I haven't
Speaker 4: like I haven't been on a swim team or anything
Speaker 4: like that for a long time. But I was a lifeguard.
Speaker 4: I was I grew up as a swimmer. I just
Speaker 4: haven't done it in a long time. So I feel
Speaker 4: like swimming, I'm good at I'm just fearful of open water.
Speaker 2: Open water. Sorry, that's it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, it's totally fine. It's easy to get
Speaker 4: them confused because hello, water and water. But I feel
Speaker 4: like I'm an okay swimmer. I'm just scared of open water.
Speaker 4: But I will tell you, And I don't know if
Speaker 4: I said this in the other podcast, that fear was
Speaker 4: massive for me before I got to the show. And
Speaker 4: then I get to the show and you are in
Speaker 4: fight or flight mode. You're like, Okay, what do I
Speaker 4: need to do to get to the next part? Right,
Speaker 4: And so I was not thinking about my fear at all,
Speaker 4: which was a great thing.
Speaker 1: Like, I don't know.
Speaker 4: We were in Mexico after this, we went on family
Speaker 4: vacation and you know, I got in the water. But
Speaker 4: it is so different when you feel like it's life
Speaker 4: threatening in a way, right, you know, you just kind
Speaker 4: of cast your fears aside.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I get it. I mean it's well, I mean,
Speaker 2: is that kind of part of it too?
Speaker 3: You know, I got I think one of the things
Speaker 3: Denise Richard said on the show, which I thought she
Speaker 3: said very like with a lot of vulnerability too.
Speaker 2: You know. She was like, I've been known to freeze
Speaker 2: in circumstances that are are high stress.
Speaker 3: And she's you know, some very personal things and and
Speaker 3: she was like, you know, I want to I want
Speaker 3: to be better.
Speaker 2: I want to learn that, you know. And and I was.
Speaker 3: I was impressed by her fortitude for the most part too.
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously you know again spoilerer. She she was
Speaker 3: the second one to leave the show. But that's notorious
Speaker 3: that that whole thing is that Toya says, like the gauntlet,
Speaker 3: even for the Seals going through that swim training, which
Speaker 3: is basically, for lack of better words, you're.
Speaker 2: Drowning or water being waterboarded.
Speaker 4: That had to be so hard, so hard, so hard,
Speaker 4: and and you have to swim a really long distance.
Speaker 4: It doesn't look like it in the show, but it was,
Speaker 4: I want to say, like a half a mile.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: And mind you, you were in wet clothes and boots
Speaker 4: or whatever kind of shoes you have. On this funny story,
Speaker 4: Cam Newton shows up and listen, we don't know what
Speaker 4: we're going to be doing exactly right, But because The
Speaker 4: first episode was in the desert, the second episode was
Speaker 4: like snow winter. The third I figured it would be
Speaker 4: something different, so I figured it would be water.
Speaker 1: And I had on.
Speaker 4: These like like kind of like wicking pants that I
Speaker 4: found at ari I, you know, and this like jacket
Speaker 4: that I thought would be lightweight and wouldn't be bad
Speaker 4: for the water cam. Newton shows up in a wolf sweater.
Speaker 2: With a vest.
Speaker 4: One of his huge hats, which and then the best
Speaker 4: part of this outfit though, is and mind you, he
Speaker 4: had not watched the show, so he didn't have the
Speaker 4: like smoothing going on where I kind of put two
Speaker 4: and two together. But he had a diamond ankle bracelet,
Speaker 4: like this thick on his ankle.
Speaker 2: Did it fall off in the water and wheels?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I want to ask him. We have to get him
Speaker 4: on the pod so just so I can ask him
Speaker 4: that question.
Speaker 1: But yes, like it was.
Speaker 4: It was terrifying, but also at the same time, you're
Speaker 4: kind of just like, gotta go, gotta.
Speaker 1: Get her done.
Speaker 4: I did get to the beach and Carrie Hart was
Speaker 4: like right behind me, and I will say, before we
Speaker 4: got on the boat, we were all in separate vehicles,
Speaker 4: so the boat was where we really were able to
Speaker 4: introduce ourselves to each other and say hi. And but
Speaker 4: before we got on the boat, I was in a
Speaker 4: car right next to Carrie Hart. Could not remember that
Speaker 4: it was Carrie Hart at the time, Like I kept
Speaker 4: staring at him. I told him afterwards, I'm like, I'm
Speaker 4: really sorry I was staring at you. I was like,
Speaker 4: how do.
Speaker 1: I know that guy?
Speaker 2: I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I could not be of it.
Speaker 4: And I have to say, he is so incredibly nice
Speaker 4: and so supportive to everybody, but he is freaking intimidating
Speaker 4: because he's like all tatted up, you know, he looks
Speaker 4: like a badass, and he is a badass.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, He's like a big X game guy, right,
Speaker 2: like a big.
Speaker 4: Motocross motocross like he has broken more than eighty bones.
Speaker 2: I heard him say that the show. My mind blew.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my.
Speaker 4: God, the stories that we've heard about the broken the
Speaker 4: worst breaks that he's had are crazy. But he I
Speaker 4: was very intimidated with, you know, meeting him, because I
Speaker 4: know I knew him from motocross days, like X Games
Speaker 4: whatever back in the day. And of course I'm a
Speaker 4: huge fan of Pink and and he just like looks
Speaker 4: like a badass, which he is. He's just a very kind,
Speaker 4: kind badass.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he was the most intimidating you think, I mean,
Speaker 3: for you, was he the most intimidating?
Speaker 4: I mean I feel like yes. But also you would
Speaker 4: think Cam Newton because he's so freaking tall, right, and
Speaker 4: not even like he I think he's six ' five
Speaker 4: in you know, that's how tall he is, but his
Speaker 4: hair takes him like another two feet up right.
Speaker 3: Well, and he's just super broad too, Like he's a
Speaker 3: broad guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's massive. So you would think that he would
Speaker 4: be intimidating just because of his size. I mean, I'm
Speaker 4: five to two, you know, and he could fit me
Speaker 4: in his little pocket.
Speaker 1: But but.
Speaker 4: It's it wasn't shocking to me because you just never
Speaker 4: know he's intimidating because of his size.
Speaker 1: But he's not intimidating because of his personality.
Speaker 4: Super nice guy, so fun loving andy and goofy.
Speaker 2: Almost to his detriment.
Speaker 3: It seems he and Golden both you know, fromlast night's
Speaker 3: episode and watching it, you know that kind of they're
Speaker 3: there kind of playful banter was sort of pissing off
Speaker 3: the the DS is a little bit, it seemed, you know,
Speaker 3: And so I almost feel like it's like they put
Speaker 3: a bulls eye on themselves in one regard, because there's
Speaker 3: such a physical prowess, right, they have such a physical
Speaker 3: stature that they're like, Okay, we're going to break that
Speaker 3: dude down, prove a point, right, and then yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: I just felt like, oh god, you guys, like when
Speaker 3: Golden was doing the repelling off the bridge and he's
Speaker 3: and the guy, I'm just like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: And I was We all were saying that, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: we all were.
Speaker 4: Like what is he doing? And they were getting so pissed.
Speaker 4: And I will say, yes, they were getting pissed. They
Speaker 4: want to teach us that if this is an actual
Speaker 4: like situation when you're where you were, coming into enemy territory,
Speaker 4: then you have to be freaking mindful. You can't be
Speaker 4: like making jokes and like they were saying, show voting
Speaker 4: or whatever. Yeah, But but I think that they also
Speaker 4: saw that as a way because I think throughout the
Speaker 4: show what the producers probably are telling them, based on
Speaker 4: just the fact that I've been in reality television for
Speaker 4: a while now, I think the producers are saying, if
Speaker 4: there's an an inn to be able to punish them,
Speaker 4: here's what you could use as a punishment. And so
Speaker 4: when they were like misbehaving if you will, or just
Speaker 4: being you know, goofy, they were like, oh, okay, we're
Speaker 4: gonna put you guys on a platform for show moving
Speaker 4: and punish everybody. And yeah, so I think they use
Speaker 4: that as an opportunity to punish us.
Speaker 1: And oh I felt bad. So you could kind of
Speaker 1: see that.
Speaker 4: I was in the car with in the vehicle with Denise,
Speaker 4: Cam and Cam and Golden after the bridge, and that's
Speaker 4: when they punished us. And what you don't see and
Speaker 4: and mind you, if you do see it, just tell
Speaker 4: me because at my watch party, I it was obviously watching,
Speaker 4: but I was also talking with people and the volume
Speaker 4: wasn't like what I would have it at at home,
Speaker 4: you know. So so what they did is they took
Speaker 4: our backpacks and our rucks and they threw them like
Speaker 4: down this cliff into like this little ravine.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they were wet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you you have a waterproof bag within your
Speaker 4: your ruck, okay, so you're supposed to keep your extra
Speaker 4: your dry clothes and socks and inside this waterproof bag, okay,
Speaker 4: and some people like it was the first day, so
Speaker 4: we're not you know, we're not used to having to
Speaker 4: pack our backpacks. So I think that Golden felt really
Speaker 4: bad because he thought that people's stuff was going to
Speaker 4: get wet.
Speaker 1: Well, the hard part for.
Speaker 4: Him was and you saw me kind of consoling him
Speaker 4: in the vehicle, like saying, you know, whatever you've you've
Speaker 4: been amazing to me.
Speaker 1: We're all going to get through this together.
Speaker 4: So what was hard was they threw the backpacks and
Speaker 4: then they were like, go get your backpacks. But Golden
Speaker 4: and and Cam had to wait on the on the
Speaker 4: top of the cliff and watch all of us and
Speaker 4: we were run like they were making us run, and
Speaker 4: both of them were so like helpful to people like
Speaker 4: me and Denise and and Kyla who are small, like
Speaker 4: the needed help with their backpacks that they it was
Speaker 4: even worse punishment because not only did they throw our
Speaker 4: packs in the in the water, but they made them
Speaker 4: watch us like go through it and have to get
Speaker 4: through it, like and find our back our backpacks and
Speaker 4: put them on and like very quickly, and we're all
Speaker 4: being yelled at. We're running down like Mossy very slippery rocks.
Speaker 4: At one point, I know that Kayla was like, someone
Speaker 4: said this is really dangerous, like we're running on slippery rocks,
Speaker 4: and Kayla was like don't, like just don't do it,
Speaker 4: like go slow, who cares. She's like walk if you
Speaker 4: need to, just whatever. So I think that that was
Speaker 4: really hard for them because they are like helpers, you know, yeah,
Speaker 4: and they wanted to help, but they were being made
Speaker 4: to just watch us endure kind of this this punishment
Speaker 4: in a way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I watched Golden lean down to you at one
Speaker 3: point and he was like, you know, we're staying in
Speaker 3: this together. You know, we're not going to quit. Look
Speaker 3: me in the eye. Like it was a really sweet moment.
Speaker 3: But then I was gonna say the other thing.
Speaker 2: I saw what.
Speaker 3: Happened there with with Cam Newton when he came down
Speaker 3: from doing his thing, and it was almost like I
Speaker 3: could he goes, I was going to shake his hand
Speaker 3: with Golden, but it's almost like he knocked the wind
Speaker 3: out of Golden. What was that because that seemed to
Speaker 3: be what triggered the whole rucksack to thee thrown in
Speaker 3: the ravine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so.
Speaker 4: During the bungee or the jump, Golden did something to
Speaker 4: his rib they think. I think it was like a
Speaker 4: hairline some some fracture. Like he didn't break his ribs,
Speaker 4: we don't think, but he injured himself during the jump.
Speaker 4: Like the harnesses were just you know, it's it's hard,
Speaker 4: you can get injured, and I think he was injured.
Speaker 4: And then Cam came up to him and he kind
Speaker 4: of like like hit him, like you know, if you're
Speaker 4: being playful with someone and you're like listen, you know whatever.
Speaker 4: He kind of hit him right in his ribs where
Speaker 4: he had just gotten hurt. And so Golden was like, oh, like,
Speaker 4: he just freaking killed me. And meanwhile Cam is like
Speaker 4: laughing about I don't even remember what he was laughing about,
Speaker 4: but yeah, he hit him exactly where his injury was.
Speaker 4: And I think because of that, and because Cam was
Speaker 4: just being a little louder and like, you know more,
Speaker 4: he was laughing about something. I can't remember what he
Speaker 4: was laughing about, but that's what happened with Golden is yeah,
Speaker 4: he accidentally, you know, hit him where I think he
Speaker 4: was injured.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's horrible. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that
Speaker 3: was brutal. You guys going down that hill and it's like,
Speaker 3: you know, and then I started thinking about it too.
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, this is because Cam and Golden,
Speaker 3: you know, we're messing around, and it's like I wondered
Speaker 3: if they would do that to them. It's funny they
Speaker 3: didn't show that they made them watch you guys do it,
Speaker 3: because that would have made Yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: Crazy, you know.
Speaker 4: And I do have to say, like I was watching,
Speaker 4: so Golden did a bunch of behind the scenes on
Speaker 4: his Instagram stories yesterday and what I want And I've
Speaker 4: said this, I feel like in Denise and Stevens interview
Speaker 4: and Nathan, but they don't I know.
Speaker 1: I've said this.
Speaker 4: In between when you are in the vehicles and starting
Speaker 4: the task, you have to run, so you run everywhere,
Speaker 4: and he said he said he thought that. I think
Speaker 4: we had to run for like thirty minutes or something,
Speaker 4: or like three miles or something like that from the
Speaker 4: vehicle to like the dock where the helicopter was, and
Speaker 4: it was chilly and like if you got in the
Speaker 4: water first, you're standing there for hours so or I mean,
Speaker 4: if you got in the helicopter then you didn't get wet,
Speaker 4: but if you jumped or whatever, or.
Speaker 1: If you ended up in the water, then you got
Speaker 1: wet obviously.
Speaker 4: So what they don't show is all the hard stuff
Speaker 4: in between. And when we got to the bridge, you
Speaker 4: had an and mind you, you get out of these
Speaker 4: vehicles and they're like, go, go go. They're rushing you
Speaker 4: out of the vehicles. So it's not like you're like leisurely,
Speaker 4: like you know, adjusting your sweatshirt and you know whatever,
Speaker 4: getting out of the car. You are going with like
Speaker 4: a sense of massive urgency, right, And so you're getting out,
Speaker 4: we're running, and we're running on this terrain that is
Speaker 4: all logs and rocks and whatever and straight up hill.
Speaker 4: So that was when Cam took my backpack. He took
Speaker 4: my ruck and like carried it for me so I
Speaker 4: could just focus on running, because it truly is I
Speaker 4: think you asked this, but I think it's thirty five
Speaker 4: pounds when you converted from kilograms. So we had to
Speaker 4: measure in kilograms and we were at accommodations and they
Speaker 4: said if your pack is not like when it's all
Speaker 4: packed up, if it doesn't measure the thirty five pound
Speaker 4: mark or whatever, then you had to add sand to
Speaker 4: the bottom.
Speaker 1: Of your back ear.
Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh to make it that heavy and they
Speaker 4: were going to weigh them and if they weren't exact,
Speaker 4: you were going to be punished. So I had a
Speaker 4: thirty five forty pound ruck on my back all the
Speaker 4: time unless someone like my angel Golden carried it for me.
Speaker 2: So I saw the one picture he had one in
Speaker 2: front and one and back.
Speaker 1: That was mine. Yeah, I think that was mine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was incredible.
Speaker 2: You know you mentioned the helicopter thing.
Speaker 3: I can't help it, ask so to me, and it
Speaker 3: might just be because you're you know, everyone's stature is different, right,
Speaker 3: like Cam Newton, you know his his wingspan is so
Speaker 3: much longer than yours. But to me, it seemed like
Speaker 3: that helicopter and how could it be. I mean, no
Speaker 3: one's you know, it's not like it's like exact sign answer,
Speaker 3: but seemed like sometimes further away for some people than others,
Speaker 3: and they're like no, and those people have to go
Speaker 3: when they're told to go, and it's like, well what
Speaker 3: if it's not where it needs to be? Like I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, it was crazy. I just did you did
Speaker 3: you guys pick up on that from the shore or
Speaker 3: you not even even think about it?
Speaker 4: So It's interesting because some of the people I was
Speaker 4: watching with last last night, they were like, the helicopter
Speaker 4: was really close. For some people, they were like Stephen
Speaker 4: Baldwin like just went like.
Speaker 2: This, yeah, he literally just jumped out. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And then obviously you see Cam jumping and he's huge,
Speaker 4: so you know, like so I felt like what happened
Speaker 4: with me because they didn't show my jump, and gosh
Speaker 4: it was it was crazy just to say that I
Speaker 4: tried to jump from a moving boat to a helicopter
Speaker 4: as nuts.
Speaker 1: But when you're in it, you're in it.
Speaker 4: Like I said, So you get on the boat and
Speaker 4: they're like, they give you gloves and you are told
Speaker 4: the helicopter will come down. We will tell you when
Speaker 4: you can go. It's up to you to decide whether
Speaker 4: you want to go or you want to wait for
Speaker 4: the helicopter to get closer or whatever. And then if
Speaker 4: you don't go within a certain period of time, we
Speaker 4: are pushing you in if you haven't jumped.
Speaker 1: And so all I'm.
Speaker 4: Thinking is like, crap, I do not want to get
Speaker 4: pushed in because they're not gonna, like gently again push
Speaker 4: you in gently. They're gonna push you from a moving
Speaker 4: boat into the water if you don't jump. So the
Speaker 4: helicopter when it came down to me, and you're right,
Speaker 4: it's a helicopter. Like, people were like, that doesn't seem fair.
Speaker 4: I'm like, well, you know, it is a helicopter, and
Speaker 4: the helicopter pilot is doing his best so to get
Speaker 4: close enough, right, But it was definitely different for everybody,
Speaker 4: and for me it was.
Speaker 1: Just too far away.
Speaker 4: You Actually, they showed me in the trailer trying to jump,
Speaker 4: and Ryan saw it and he was like, you didn't
Speaker 4: make it. I'm like, yeah, excited you, But I was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: it was too far and I was so scared that
Speaker 4: they were going to push me in that I just
Speaker 4: didn't wait for the helicopter to get any closer. But
Speaker 4: I will say, like, who knows what's better. I mean,
Speaker 4: getting onto the helicopter obviously would have been better. It
Speaker 4: would be really hard because you have to have really
Speaker 4: big core strength to pull up your legs. That's what
Speaker 4: happened to me. She just, you know, couldn't do it.
Speaker 4: But once you try, so imagine you're like trying to
Speaker 4: jump for the helicopter and then you don't make it
Speaker 4: and you go slamming into the water.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that boat was going like about thirty miles
Speaker 3: an hour, probably.
Speaker 4: Right, really not missed, I don't know, probably faster than that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so you get hold lammed.
Speaker 4: I slammed my face. I actually am shocked that I
Speaker 4: did not walk away with a massive, like bruise on
Speaker 4: my face after that day.
Speaker 3: Like I said at the top of the show, I
Speaker 3: got emotional watching this because that was twenty years so
Speaker 3: I know, this is totally out of your you know, wheelhouse,
Speaker 3: and and even though you're I know you're a good athlete,
Speaker 3: I know you're a dancer.
Speaker 2: You know, it's totally out.
Speaker 1: Of my wheelhouse. Don't give me any credit.
Speaker 2: It's out of everyone. It's not everyone. But I was
Speaker 2: watching it and I got it.
Speaker 3: I got a little emotional, like when I started hearing
Speaker 3: the backstories, you know, and why people were there and
Speaker 3: what they were going through, and you know, it made
Speaker 3: me And I know we'll probably.
Speaker 2: Get to that soon with you. As far as it.
Speaker 3: Goes from the standpoint of, you know, just just the
Speaker 3: show is, like I think we got through four people
Speaker 3: in the first episode where we got to hear some
Speaker 3: of their stories, like Jordan van Dennis and Steven and and.
Speaker 2: Then at the tail end of the show, Ali and.
Speaker 3: But it was like I was watching it, it was so
Speaker 3: much intensity, and all I could think about was when
Speaker 3: we met, you know, twenty some years ago, and the
Speaker 3: physicality of the Bachelorette was nothing like this show. But
Speaker 3: the mental oh my god, you had which one was
Speaker 3: worse for you? The mental strain of having to send
Speaker 3: me home?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Really, do you really have to ask this question? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Like, I mean, you don't get sleep on Bachelor Bachelorette,
Speaker 4: at least if you're a lead.
Speaker 2: So that's part similar.
Speaker 4: That part is very similar, but otherwise all of it
Speaker 4: is way harder on special voices like it's the hardest
Speaker 4: thing I've ever done in my life. Oh heck yeah,
Speaker 4: even with having children and whatever, it is the hardest
Speaker 4: thing mentally emotionally. You saw me in this episode bawling
Speaker 4: my eyes out, crying like, no, I don't want to
Speaker 4: go home, but he's like, you need to go home,
Speaker 4: you don't belong here or whatever. And I can't talk
Speaker 4: a lot about because I don't know what they're going
Speaker 4: to pull from that day for the next episode, you know,
Speaker 4: so I really can't talk about I can talk next
Speaker 4: week when we recap about what really went down on
Speaker 4: the beach, because I feel like they might still show
Speaker 4: some of that.
Speaker 3: Well, even in Ali's thing, you know, they're telling Alie
Speaker 3: you're going home or whatever at the end of the episode,
Speaker 3: and then if you watch the outtakes, they're showing you
Speaker 3: guys back in that surf with the chain locked arms
Speaker 3: right doing the backwards but with a log on your
Speaker 3: on your chest.
Speaker 2: It's like, what, it's just hidding absolute madness.
Speaker 4: Oh and they didn't show half of what we did
Speaker 4: on the beach. I mean, here, here's the deal for
Speaker 4: anyone who watches reality. You know by now that there's
Speaker 4: so many hours of footage. I mean there's ten days
Speaker 4: of footage right for the show, and and you throw
Speaker 4: in time sixteen, so there's sixteen people, and they're trying
Speaker 4: to get the story for everybody, right, So there's so
Speaker 4: many hours.
Speaker 1: Of footage, and they can't show everything.
Speaker 4: I wish they could because I really kind of just
Speaker 4: want to see it played back. But you don't see half.
Speaker 4: I mean the beasting where we were treading water in
Speaker 4: the pool. I was just talking to Ali this morning
Speaker 4: and we were like, you cannot tell that that that
Speaker 4: was grueling and people were legitimately having panic attacks. There
Speaker 4: were times when I said, they're drowned, they're drowning, they're
Speaker 4: going down.
Speaker 1: Like get them.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: It's actually like I said about swimming, I felt really
Speaker 4: strong in the beasting, Like I I literally went to
Speaker 4: the side.
Speaker 1: Be high. Thank you. The beasting is the workout thing. Yes,
Speaker 1: you're right.
Speaker 4: So so I went to the side maybe five seconds
Speaker 4: before they quit the whole thing and made all of
Speaker 4: us go to the side. But what you don't see
Speaker 4: in that is we were treading water for I don't know,
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes. He was splashing us in the face, like
Speaker 4: in the face constantly because they wanted to mimic like
Speaker 4: the waves when you're.
Speaker 1: Out there in open water.
Speaker 4: And then afterwards and you didn't see the like the
Speaker 4: full on panic attacks, and you didn't see afterwards they
Speaker 4: had us doing push ups and sit ups. You would
Speaker 4: lock your your legs onto the edge of the pool,
Speaker 4: and then they had you doing sit ups like putting
Speaker 4: yourself in the water.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. You know what else they didn't show.
Speaker 3: They also didn't show Denise hanging on to Nathan and
Speaker 3: almost drowning him because remember she told.
Speaker 1: Us that that.
Speaker 4: I mean in the beginning Golden Golden had a hard
Speaker 4: time with the water, and so did Cam and Cam jumps.
Speaker 4: I was right next to Cam when we jumped in,
Speaker 4: and immediately I was like, I gotta get away from him,
Speaker 4: even though I want to help him, I got to
Speaker 4: get away from him because he is just going to
Speaker 4: pull me down, like easily pull me down.
Speaker 1: And I didn't know at that time.
Speaker 4: When you jump in, you don't know at the time
Speaker 4: that there are scuba divers under the water that are
Speaker 4: to like if someone did stay under for a while,
Speaker 4: they would have they would have rescued them.
Speaker 1: But you don't know that when you get in, so.
Speaker 3: You're like, well, sixteen people, you're not going to see
Speaker 3: anything down there.
Speaker 4: You know, no, And it was it was dark. What
Speaker 4: they don't show like they have lights on, but it
Speaker 4: was it was really dark. The pool was probably painted
Speaker 4: black on the bottom, so it was really dark. You
Speaker 4: could not see anything that that.
Speaker 3: Was like when you know, and I wasn't. I had
Speaker 3: no idea who I thought was gonna be the first
Speaker 3: one to go home. But when when Stephen went to
Speaker 3: the side and he just you know, he wasn't even
Speaker 3: responding when they were like, let's go, and he's just
Speaker 3: like sitting there, mouth was wide open, which I will
Speaker 3: say I did notice a few times throughout the show
Speaker 3: he seemed to be having a difficult time breathing, so
Speaker 3: you know, there's yeah, okay, yeah, and he was just
Speaker 3: sitting there and he's like not responding to them getting
Speaker 3: back in the pool. That was the first time I'm like,
Speaker 3: I think Steven's gonna be the first one to go home.
Speaker 3: You know, I kind of thought, you know that that
Speaker 3: she that he might be the first one to go home.
Speaker 3: But then you start realizing, like when Jordan, the gymnast
Speaker 3: that was called in for her, you know, her her
Speaker 3: dress down or whatever they call that.
Speaker 2: When they're you know, when they're in there the mirror room,
Speaker 2: the mirror room.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and she even said she's like, I didn't
Speaker 3: know I was scared of water, And then until she
Speaker 3: started panicking and she literally had a panic attack on
Speaker 3: the beach, like you could tell it was definitely for real.
Speaker 1: And I was hooked up to her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: Like, oh my gosh, I mean, what did you discover
Speaker 3: that you had any new fears?
Speaker 2: Or any new things.
Speaker 3: I mean, I know you went into it with a
Speaker 3: pretty good assessment of yourself. You didn't like heights, you
Speaker 3: didn't feel comfortable swimming in open water, anything else come along?
Speaker 2: Because you seemed to tackle both of those pretty well.
Speaker 1: Those were fine.
Speaker 4: And the bungee like thing, I've always been scared of bungies,
Speaker 4: but this was like a sitting bungee. It wasn't really
Speaker 4: a you know, a typical like bungee jumpy. I didn't
Speaker 4: discover more fears. I mean, I'm fearful of a lot
Speaker 4: of things. I think also pain, you know, and and
Speaker 4: that came up. But no, Jordan, it was like a
Speaker 4: completely new thing for her. She had no idea that
Speaker 4: she was so scared. And she I don't know if
Speaker 4: you've ever had a panic attack, but they are on
Speaker 4: the ground, like solid ground. They're really freaking scary. I've
Speaker 4: had one. My nose went numb, like tingle. It was
Speaker 4: really awful, couldn't breathe. She my heart was just hurting
Speaker 4: for her. And then I was linked to her when
Speaker 4: we were linked up on the beach, and it was
Speaker 4: hard for me because I was like, I need to
Speaker 4: focus on like getting through this but I also want
Speaker 4: to like help her through it. And I'm like it's okay,
Speaker 4: it's okay, you're gonna get through it. Like you know,
Speaker 4: they don't show this part, but I'm like, you can
Speaker 4: do this, you can do this, Like I'm trying to
Speaker 4: encourage her, and she's probably like, no, I can't, No,
Speaker 4: I can't, I can't do it. I'm drowning, you know whatever.
Speaker 4: So oh, that was really really tough. And when people
Speaker 4: develop or discover new fears, yeah, it's really really scary.
Speaker 1: But thank god I didn't. I didn't go through anything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't go through anything.
Speaker 3: Well, water, I think can be big one too for people,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like it's it's just it's
Speaker 3: a lot and water can do. You know. I'll never
Speaker 3: forget scuba diving with Canyon or not even Scooba. We
Speaker 3: were snorkeling on one of the first trips we ever
Speaker 3: took together and and she started having like a panic attack,
Speaker 3: and I just picked up. I was like, I was
Speaker 3: like way far away because I just live in the
Speaker 3: water my whole life, and I saw it.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god.
Speaker 3: And I swam over to her and I was just
Speaker 3: like you know you're okay, you know, it's one of
Speaker 3: those things.
Speaker 1: When you see someone within the water.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because you're so fearful and now if you're
Speaker 3: shut down, it's just gonna get worse, you know.
Speaker 2: Another one for you.
Speaker 3: So Ali Fedotowski obviously Bacher Nation, you know, favorite, she
Speaker 3: was in there with you, and she was like the
Speaker 3: I think the number two person to go or one
Speaker 3: of the what one of the first to attempt the
Speaker 3: second task you guys had to do, which was the bridge?
Speaker 1: The bridge.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I will say that I don't they didn't
Speaker 4: do things in order. Oh okay, Like what you're seeing
Speaker 4: is not necessarily how things were done.
Speaker 2: Well you can tell.
Speaker 3: You can tell that too, because at the end of
Speaker 3: the at the end of the first episode, when they're
Speaker 3: telling Ali like her broken finger, which happened in this task,
Speaker 3: they're like, yeah, you're gonna have to go home.
Speaker 2: But then they're showing footage.
Speaker 3: Of her doing the setups with a log on her
Speaker 3: and you're like, wait, we haven't seen that yet, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean? So, yeah, somebody the continuity was
Speaker 3: a little bit you know, to be desired on that one.
Speaker 3: But at the end of that when she when her
Speaker 3: finger was all like caught up in the repelling gear
Speaker 3: and stuff. Was she saying was she saying like she
Speaker 3: wanted to go home at that point or was she
Speaker 3: saying she didn't want to go home? Because because I
Speaker 3: couldn't tell what she was saying at that point, and
Speaker 3: I was like, if you know, and I knew she
Speaker 3: had trained hard.
Speaker 4: For this, she definitely did not want to go home. Yeah, no,
Speaker 4: not at any point. She was talking to us about
Speaker 4: like the recruits, about how her finger was hurting. But
Speaker 4: obviously they're listening to everything, right, so right, so, and
Speaker 4: you don't have microphones on, they just have it boomed.
Speaker 2: I thought that's what that. I thought, that's what that
Speaker 2: wrap was around everyone's name.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, did we have microphones? Oh my gosh, I
Speaker 1: literally can't can't remember. Yes we did, we did, thank you.
Speaker 1: You're right. Yeah, so we did have microphones.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I'm like, of course we had to
Speaker 4: have microphones anyway. We She was telling us about the
Speaker 4: finger and complaining about it because it was it was
Speaker 4: bothering her. Yeah, and I will say continuity wise, she
Speaker 4: did still do the beach the beach thing.
Speaker 1: After that, it just she just pushed.
Speaker 4: Through like the fact that it was it was hurting,
Speaker 4: but she definitely did not want to leave. All of
Speaker 4: us were encouraging her, like you can get through it,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, she looked like, oh, like she was
Speaker 3: carved out of stone, like I mean, I've known Ali
Speaker 3: for years. No, you could tell she had been training hard.
Speaker 3: I mean like she took this very seriously and she
Speaker 3: was ripped, you know, ripped.
Speaker 4: She worked out three times a day like she was ripped,
Speaker 4: and she was very goal oriented. She wanted to make
Speaker 4: it to the end, which is why I called her today.
Speaker 1: We talked.
Speaker 4: She actually reached out to me too, but uh, I
Speaker 4: feel horrible for her, Like she really wanted to get
Speaker 4: and she worked so hard for it. So when you
Speaker 4: work so hard for it and you're taken out, like
Speaker 4: not voluntarily.
Speaker 3: Especially when you're still willing to go on, she was like, no,
Speaker 3: I'm not going, like we can't have you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the situation, you know, no, she was.
Speaker 4: She was really upset because her finger. She felt like
Speaker 4: she could continue the tasks, but they felt like, I mean,
Speaker 4: maybe I shouldn't talk about it. It's really her story
Speaker 4: to tell. But I think they always we.
Speaker 3: Can definitely, we can definitely talk to her when she's
Speaker 3: on right, we'll we'll have her. And but I'm wondering,
Speaker 3: you know, the way they ended that first episode, it
Speaker 3: almost feels like they're going to pick up on the
Speaker 3: second episode where they left off on the first to
Speaker 3: a certain degree, at least in my mind, they're going
Speaker 3: to because they're gonna have to give us some closure
Speaker 3: on what's going on with Ali and why they're like saying,
Speaker 3: you can't continue. One last person to talk about who
Speaker 3: was featured pretty heavily in the first episode. I thought
Speaker 3: was Kayla Nicole, who I you know, I knew vaguely
Speaker 3: who she was, and you know her story. Obviously she's
Speaker 3: talking about her ex boyfriend Travis Kelcey and his new
Speaker 3: girlfriend Taylor Swift and I and I did love And
Speaker 3: I thought it was really I thought it was a
Speaker 3: really kind gesture, knowing reality TV as we do, that
Speaker 3: they kept in there that she's like, you know, I'm
Speaker 3: actually a fan of hers, you know, like they they
Speaker 3: kept that statement in at her saying that because you know,
Speaker 3: I have heard that she kind of just gets attacked
Speaker 3: mercilessly on on online and stuff and it's really affected her,
Speaker 3: and you could tell, like I thought it was. I
Speaker 3: think that was part of it too, was you know,
Speaker 3: you you live your life in the public eye to
Speaker 3: a certain degree, you're going to get people who just
Speaker 3: want to hate on you for no reason. And we've
Speaker 3: all experienced it, and probably never to the degree that
Speaker 3: she's experienced that I would. I wouldn't guess, but you
Speaker 3: know her, it's like affected her so much. She doubts
Speaker 3: who she is, she doubts what she can do, and
Speaker 3: and so it was like, you're super important for her
Speaker 3: to push through on this, Like did you have a
Speaker 3: chance to really connect with her much and and to
Speaker 3: talk about that, because it seems like she was still
Speaker 3: going through a lot of stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, So in the vehicle, in the vehicles, you're randomly,
Speaker 4: you randomly get into vehicles, so you're not assigned a vehicle,
Speaker 4: and I ended up in one of the vehicles with her.
Speaker 4: I think that maybe the first we were like it
Speaker 4: was like maybe four hours or something like that. I
Speaker 4: don't know if the drive for us, we didn't have
Speaker 4: our phones or watches or anything, so you don't right
Speaker 4: know what time it is. I think we're given a watch,
Speaker 4: but I don't think I ever used it, So I said,
Speaker 4: I said, I think I said something stupid, like, so,
Speaker 4: what's your sport, thinking like she's an Olympic athlete or something,
Speaker 4: because she is.
Speaker 1: She's a badass, like she is.
Speaker 4: She is ripped, you know, And I thought, naturally she's
Speaker 4: some kind of athlete, right.
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 4: I didn't know who she was. But I said, what's
Speaker 4: your sport? And she's like, I don't, I don't have
Speaker 4: a sport. She's like, I just I think she said
Speaker 4: I have a fit, I have a wellness company or
Speaker 4: something like that. Yeah, And and she does. She's an influencer,
Speaker 4: but clearly her claim to fame, if you will, is
Speaker 4: the fact that she's been kind of thrown in the
Speaker 4: fray of of this relationship. And I love that they
Speaker 4: showed her talking about how she's been bullied, like cycling
Speaker 4: is just not okay. And no matter who you are,
Speaker 4: you don't know what happened in their relationship. You don't
Speaker 4: know who she truly is unless you know her, and
Speaker 4: you don't, And I just it breaks my heart that
Speaker 4: she's been through that because she does it seems like
Speaker 4: she loves Taylor and she has a respect for their relationship,
Speaker 4: but she's just getting hate and it's stupid.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I never like seeing anyone get bullied.
Speaker 3: You know, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: She's tough.
Speaker 4: I we had a moment on the sand where they
Speaker 4: asked us, so, like I said, you didn't see so
Speaker 4: much of the beach, but we did, like we.
Speaker 1: Had to move.
Speaker 4: We had to sprint across the sand at first, go
Speaker 4: grab these logs and sand bags and bring them down
Speaker 4: to the beach or too closer to the water. And
Speaker 4: so we are we're running, run and it is not
Speaker 4: easy to run in sand with.
Speaker 1: Boots on, like especially wet boots.
Speaker 4: Well I don't know at this point if we were wet,
Speaker 4: but but yes, wet boots. And so we're running. We're
Speaker 4: doing these logs and we bring we brought this log.
Speaker 4: We're lining them up like they needed to be like
Speaker 4: right next to each other. So I picked up this
Speaker 4: log and moved it and accidentally like kind of crushed
Speaker 4: her hand, and oh, I felt so horrible.
Speaker 1: And.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, I'm so sorry, and
Speaker 4: she's like, you know, she kind of grunted, and I
Speaker 4: was like, oh.
Speaker 1: No, she hates me. Oh no, I'm making enemies. I
Speaker 1: don't want to make enemies.
Speaker 4: But I felt so bad because you're, you know, you're
Speaker 4: in this to stay healthy and you want to support everybody,
Speaker 4: and I accidentally like hurt her.
Speaker 1: So I'm just glad it wasn't like anything bad.
Speaker 3: But no, well, I mean, I know there's so much
Speaker 3: on the cutting room floor, you know, uh metaphorically on
Speaker 3: these shows, but it's like you watch it and you
Speaker 3: feel like I felt a connection to side.
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest. I thought the show was shot beautifully.
Speaker 3: I thought it was like like all the all the
Speaker 3: scenic things they did, and then I really, you know,
Speaker 3: I think because everyone is so vulnerable, and you know
Speaker 3: these people from abroad, you know, from Afar rather and
Speaker 3: you start seeing these guys get into it with them,
Speaker 3: like especially in that mirror room, and it's like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, like they're even being nice, like the the
Speaker 3: ds is are being nice, and it's like it's they're
Speaker 3: still being tough, but they're being nice, you know.
Speaker 2: So I can't help myself.
Speaker 3: I watch a show like this, I immediately you know, and
Speaker 3: I know it's kind of like it's kind of like,
Speaker 3: in another way, a little parallel maybe to the Bachelor
Speaker 3: or Bacherette, but how we always say, you know, the
Speaker 3: person who's left at the end isn't the winner, right,
Speaker 3: like they're not trying to win. Yeah, there, you know,
Speaker 3: And I get it, this isn't necessarily a contest, but
Speaker 3: I still couldn't help myself by watching the show and
Speaker 3: thinking who I think is going to be there in
Speaker 3: the end and I and I gotta be honest, I
Speaker 3: I know, with the nature of this show, I'm going
Speaker 3: to be surprised. So I feel like, for you, like
Speaker 3: being someone who goes on this show, are you sitting
Speaker 3: there looking around going, oh, man, you know, Cam Newton's
Speaker 3: going to be the last guy stand in? Or are
Speaker 3: you like, you know, are you looking around thinking okay,
Speaker 3: like maybe maybe after you get to know you know,
Speaker 3: Caylen Nicole, You're like, man, she's got the fortitude, she's
Speaker 3: going to be here, you know. Is it one of
Speaker 3: those things that you start doing that yourself And because
Speaker 3: you actually know the outcome, you don't have to tell
Speaker 3: me who it was that you thought this about.
Speaker 2: Were you correct in your thoughts? That's what I'm gonna ask.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, of course, like you think, oh wow,
Speaker 4: like this guy is a crazy good athlete, like Brody
Speaker 4: was at the he was leader of the pack all
Speaker 4: the time. Carrie same Like those two guys, I immediately thought,
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, they are they are totally going to
Speaker 4: make it to the end. Cam and Golden come on.
Speaker 4: And then you've got Landon Donovan, who's professional soccer player,
Speaker 4: you know, like all these athletes, Like, how could you
Speaker 4: not think that anybody's gonna last? Like you, you think
Speaker 4: everyone's gonna last when you get there, just because you
Speaker 4: know their resume and yeah, and you see them in
Speaker 4: the tasks. So I definitely I can't share obviously what happens,
Speaker 4: but I can share that I there were some instances
Speaker 4: where I was confused whether it's someone made it longer
Speaker 4: than I thought they were or someone made it shorter.
Speaker 4: So who are you thinking is going to make it
Speaker 4: to the end?
Speaker 3: Well, okay, there's still a couple of people I don't
Speaker 3: know on the show, Like I haven't I haven't been
Speaker 3: introduced to him yet. When I'm watching, like all of
Speaker 3: you guys lined up, I'm still kind of like, who
Speaker 3: is that person?
Speaker 2: And I don't want to cheat, right, I don't want
Speaker 2: to cheat, so I want to like just kind of
Speaker 2: watch it unfold. I you know, I.
Speaker 3: Had the episode not ended the way that it ended,
Speaker 3: uh last night, I would have thought Ali was going
Speaker 3: to be around for a while, you know. And uh,
Speaker 3: because she just looked determined, right, And I thought, I
Speaker 3: thought you looked great in the first episode from the
Speaker 3: standpoint of like you're not willing to quit, You're like
Speaker 3: staying in there. And I know how important it is
Speaker 3: to you for your kids to see this, and and uh,
Speaker 3: you know that's awesome. God, I get emotional talk about it. See,
Speaker 3: I told you, I I think I think I'm putting
Speaker 3: myself in your shoes a little bit too. And you
Speaker 3: know it's got to be, you know, really incredible to
Speaker 3: be in that moment. But I would say just from
Speaker 3: sheer athletic ability, yeah, I would. I would think, you know,
Speaker 3: because Cam is just a freak of nature, how how
Speaker 3: athletic and how strong he is, I mean basically deadlifting
Speaker 3: him himself up on that swinging helicopter.
Speaker 2: Mine alone on that one.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 3: I know Golden, like I've played golf with Golden and
Speaker 3: I know how he played for the Detroit Lions for
Speaker 3: a while than the Seahawks when I lived in Seattle.
Speaker 3: I got to know him through a mutual friend, and
Speaker 3: I just I know how much of an incredible competitor
Speaker 3: he is. But you know, Landon, I wasn't even thinking
Speaker 3: about that. And Brody too, and Carrie. I mean, those
Speaker 3: guys are all, you know, super competitive, and Brody has
Speaker 3: the genetics to be probably you know, the one who
Speaker 3: could last the longest out there of all of them,
Speaker 3: right because of you know, just the genetic makeup. So
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm like I would say I would
Speaker 3: pick you know, a couple of the athletes.
Speaker 2: I guess Marian Jones. We haven't eve talked about her.
Speaker 4: I haven't talked about Marion at all. And she was
Speaker 4: not featured either. There were so many people. I feel
Speaker 4: like now looking back, we like we were not included
Speaker 4: as much as some, which is fine. Whatever it is
Speaker 4: what it is. It's not why I did it.
Speaker 1: You know, to be featured for a certain amount of time.
Speaker 4: I just want, like I said, I'm just curious to
Speaker 4: see it and relive it.
Speaker 3: You know. Yeah, I think you might be having the
Speaker 3: next episode. I really do. I think you might find
Speaker 3: yourself being featured a little bit. More on that next episode,
Speaker 3: because it seems to me like, and maybe I'm just
Speaker 3: reading into it, but the people that haven't been featured
Speaker 3: as much right now to me are the ones that
Speaker 3: we're going to see more of in the next couple episodes,
Speaker 3: right because Yeah, I don't know. I just think that's
Speaker 3: kind of how it works. But I'm very Let me
Speaker 3: just ask you this so you don't have to give
Speaker 3: anything away. Were the people in your mind that you
Speaker 3: were thinking we're going to last the longest? Did they
Speaker 3: or are? Because you haven't disclosed who you thought they
Speaker 3: would be other than who you think I thought they
Speaker 3: would be, which you were right on the money with that,
Speaker 3: would you were you right or were.
Speaker 2: You surprised by the people that lasted longer?
Speaker 4: Oh, there's definitely some surprises. Yeah, for sure, there's surprises.
Speaker 4: And honestly, it kind of comes to you know, if
Speaker 4: someone gets injured and they didn't you know, all of
Speaker 4: us going into it.
Speaker 1: I want maybe with the exception.
Speaker 4: Of one had the motivation to make it to the
Speaker 4: end or HUW should I say that that really really
Speaker 4: wanted it? You know that we were there to get
Speaker 4: to the end. I think that was the general consensus
Speaker 4: is no, one. We didn't get there thinking, oh, this
Speaker 4: person is so going to leave like in an hour
Speaker 4: because they just don't want to be here. Everyone wanted
Speaker 4: to be here, be there, you know. So it's hard
Speaker 4: because a lot of it really is mind over matter,
Speaker 4: because like all of us have these fears. Kayla, you know,
Speaker 4: she had a massive fear of heights. Yeah, and doing
Speaker 4: that bungee. She did it and she rocked it. And
Speaker 4: by the way, I didn't even talk about that the bridge,
Speaker 4: like I wasn't featured. I get up there and I
Speaker 4: have this healthy fear of heights and you just have
Speaker 4: to step back and like whatever do it. And I
Speaker 4: was the second to last to go. So I was
Speaker 4: asking everyone after they came off, Okay, what's the trick,
Speaker 4: Like what do you do? Like, you know, all the
Speaker 4: tell me your tell me your thoughts. And I, I,
Speaker 4: you know, not jump off, but I stepped back and
Speaker 4: fell down that it catches me and I'm like, oh yeah,
Speaker 4: I kind of grunted, And people do that. It's like
Speaker 4: a natural response to like having the like the wind
Speaker 4: taken out of you, you know, like you're right.
Speaker 2: I heard you say my damn mouth, my mo.
Speaker 4: Exactly exactly but I didn't get to explain it. So
Speaker 4: I grunted. And then what you had to do is
Speaker 4: you swam, you swang swung three times, so you swing,
Speaker 4: you swang, swung, swing three times.
Speaker 1: You had to count it.
Speaker 4: And then you had to drop this bag that was
Speaker 4: kirabeinard to your hip at right at the middle of
Speaker 4: the third.
Speaker 1: Drop like under the bridge.
Speaker 4: It had to be like right vertical with the middle
Speaker 4: of the bridge, and some people had trouble with that.
Speaker 4: I did that part perfectly, okay, So I get down,
Speaker 4: I repel quietly. Rudy was at the bottom and he
Speaker 4: was like, you did amazing. And they failed me because
Speaker 4: I grunted and everyone grunted. I mean Nathan went in
Speaker 4: in the beginning. I think he was first or second,
Speaker 4: and he grunted. But because it was like first or second,
Speaker 4: they kept saying over and over again, we are in
Speaker 4: enemy territory. You have to be silent. You cannot make
Speaker 4: a sound. And I think they passed him because it
Speaker 4: was in the beginning and people really didn't get the rules.
Speaker 4: I don't know, but they failed me for the same thing.
Speaker 4: So I was really bummed because I was like, ah,
Speaker 4: I felt good in that you know, I actually accomplished
Speaker 4: it and felt good. So you just never know, like
Speaker 4: you That's why I'm saying this, You just never know
Speaker 4: because even guessing like who's going to make it to
Speaker 4: the end, you really truly just never know. Even though
Speaker 4: we all had the desire to get to the end
Speaker 4: and could say that mind over matter get us to
Speaker 4: the end, you just never.
Speaker 2: Know unless it was editing.
Speaker 3: I think the only one that maybe didn't was Steven
Speaker 3: because Steven's like, if there's a way that I could
Speaker 3: not get hurt.
Speaker 2: Tell them that he's gone. Yeah, it's like you got
Speaker 2: to go home, bro, you know, he didn't want to get.
Speaker 4: Well and he's gone. Like he him and Denise are done.
Speaker 4: They're not bringing anyone back that right, including Ali, Like
Speaker 4: they're there, those three are are are their end?
Speaker 1: Has the Special Forces has come to an end?
Speaker 4: So yes, yes, anyway, yeah, I think you'll just have
Speaker 4: to wait and see.
Speaker 2: I can't wait.
Speaker 3: I mean honestly, I'm like, oh, I was so into it,
Speaker 3: and Canyon came down to watch it with me because
Speaker 3: we were having a tough time getting the boys to
Speaker 3: fall asleep, and she's like, I really want to watch this,
Speaker 3: so we recorded it, but she was she wanted me
Speaker 3: to tell you that she thought you did a great
Speaker 3: job too. And you know, it's one of those things
