Welcome back to Betcher Happy Hour. I'm Joe. And I'm Serena. And we are here with none other than the man himself. Tyler Cameron is here. Tyler. What's up? Welcome to Betcher Happy Hour.

Hi, man. Happy to be here. It's my first time. So I'm excited. I know. A long time coming. How have you not been on here before? You guys never called me.

I guess, yeah. that would be the reason. I don't know how they didn't get you on during Hannah's season. Yeah. Maybe. I don't know. Were you guys doing it there? No, we weren't the host, but we were told that this is your first time here.

Okay, you've never done Happy Hour before. But that's just so crazy to us. But welcome. We're happy to have you. Yeah, I feel like it's been a little while since I've seen you guys too. Yeah. Last time we saw each other, I think, was at that Amazon event in New York. The holiday party. Are you in New York still?

No, I'm in Florida now. Okay, like full, full time? Full full time, yeah. Do you like it? I love it. I love it. I needed something, I mean, Joe saw me in some of my craziness. I needed something that was like a 9 to 5.

I needed to stay busy or else I would just go out all the time and do stupid stuff. And so now I've kind of basically given myself many full-time jobs in Jupiter, Florida. Okay. And that's, you grew up in Jupiter, right? Yeah, it's my hometown. It's where I want to be forever. It's where I want to raise a family, all that. Nice.

I'm going to Bradington on Tuesday. Yeah, you're on the wrong coast. Yeah. I was going to say, I don't think those are close. That's where my best friend has a house there. So we just, that's easy for us to go there. We go for like three days, golf and that's it. When I get my house done, I'll have you guys over.

I'm having a guest room now for you all. I have everything set up. I'll finally have my first big boy house. I'm excited. So I'm almost down on renovations. That's amazing. I love to have you guys when you guys are ready to get out of the cold. Well, we're always looking to go to Florida.

Did you buy a house and then got it or are you building a house from scratch? I bought it and gutted it. Okay. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we're stuck in a 650 square foot in New York, New York apartment.

You know what that's like. Oh, yeah. I love the city. That's the best place in the world. But I just, I had nothing going on for me up there. I was just a maniac, and I couldn't do it anymore. Yeah, this is the, yeah, I could see that. All right, let's get into, so you have a new show coming out on Amazon called Going Home.

Like, first, let's talk about how did this, how did this come about? Yeah, this is kind of something that we've been in the making, honestly, like, started pitching it pretty soon. When people started coming to me after the show, what do you want to do? I was like, well, I'm in construction. I'd love to be more, do more reality. television, let's do this. And, you know, I kind of put my passion together. And then, you know, I was like, well, I'm in the reality world. Let's put it all together. And we started pitching this show out in like 2020, 2019. And then we sold it or then we got a production company, went to shoot

the sizzle reel in 2020, early like February. Then my mom's passing. COVID happened. Kind of delayed things. So it's like been like four years in the making now, but we're finally here, April 18th. It's all coming together. Like excited. excited excited wow four years in the making so this much just feel like such a huge moment for you that like you went from just having this idea and pitching out this show to it finally coming to life yeah i mean it's been it's been a lot it's been a lot ups and downs like uh you know it just takes so much to get here then you start the production process and then you start filming and shooting the show and then you realize like oh shit i got to renovate nine homes and just this

amount of time you know it's it's it's it was the hardest thing that I've ever put myself through. And after doing it all, I was like, all, I was like, all I want more. So I've been running any more houses. I've got more products in front of me now. So it's been good. And you're, so before you went on The Bachelor, you were in construction. How much experience did you have?

Not much. So my dad, I grew up around him. My dad was the G.C. So he would bring me to the jobs, but he would never let me do any other jobs. I was a top football recruit in the state. he's like I don't want you to get hurt you're just going to clean up at the jobs I was like well this sucks I don't want to do this

and so when football didn't work out for me I started really get into the business and I started building my first house through him and he was paying me like 200 bucks a week it was miserable and that's kind of how like the whole bachelorette thing started because I was home one day and I was like studying for my GC license

and I was taking a break and I saw an ad for the WWE and I like signed up for it sent it to my buddies as a joke And they're like, this is hilarious to do that so you can sign up for. I found the Bachelorette application. They did the same thing. I wrote like crazy shit in there, sent crazy pictures. And they are the first ones to call me back.

Wow. That's crazy. You know what I would love to start doing is pulling up people's bachelor applications for their interviews and reading back some of the things you wrote. Because I feel like a lot of the people that get on the show through applying don't necessarily like think much about it when they're applying. Like I know I didn't. I mean, you didn't even apply.

I mean, they said minor. You had to fill out like a survey. Do you remember that huge survey you fill out once you get on? Even pulling up like that. Yeah. Like it's like tons of pages for those that are listening and you just fill it out. It was all these questions about yourself. And like they pulled up Joe's one time and some of the stuff he wrote on there is so crazy.

And I would love to start like I would love to pull up yours, Tyler and like read back to people on this podcast. Like this is what you wrote about yourself. That would be a great segment honestly. Yeah. Yeah. That would be fun. So when we talk about the show, now it's been in the making for four years and you have a lot of like cameos, I'm assuming cameos on the show, anyone that you're like now are looking looking at it like, I wish I didn't ask that about the show. I thought this is going in the other direction.

I thought I was going to be like, who are you most excited about? It's like, who do you wish you cut? Oh, man, that's a question no one's asked yet, Joe. Well, I would love to cut. No, I don't think there's any one that I would have wanted to cut. Like, you know, let's start with Jason because he's a finance guy. Those guys drive me crazy. Yeah, numbers, you know, every time I call him about some issue.

He's like, ah, here we go, you know. So. That's so funny. Now the next, now I put myself a predicament with the. Yeah, who you marry in and who you fornicating. So we have Matt and Rachel, which could be interesting threesome. Oh, we got, we got Hannah. But no, Hannah was great.

And it was kind of one of those things like, we don't really have the best past. We haven't really talked in a while. I needed a real, I needed a designer. And she had a past in design. And I was like, do I call her? Like, I know that, you know, the way we're doing the house for, she loves the Bachelorette. That's how she found me. She loves Hannah and talks about her all the time.

I was like, even if Hannah's design is not that great, she should just be so happy because Hannah's in the house. Yeah. And gives to Hannah, she delivered. She over-delivered and the design was incredible, incredible. We executed. She was great to work, but it was fun. So, you know, I've already been married to Matt and just for it to cause chaos, let's say, Mary.

I'm sorry. Okay. So can you clarify then? What is the role of your guests that are coming on this show? Like, I for some reason, was under the impression that you were going to like be doing a house for Jason. But you're saying Hannah's coming on as a designer. So kind of what role is everyone playing? Yeah. So Hannah comes on as designer. We need the last minute and I called on to her and she was able to exit the call. Jason is more of like the finance guy for a rental property I was looking at. And then Matt's just there for the food. I and Rachel there to eat and hang out So that's kind of what they did They came to the gala They came to the Friendsgiving party They came to the house reveal for my mom's house So gotcha

So everyone's coming in playing Yeah there's more like hang out with friends You know I was like Yeah We got this like They would come to that There was no cameras there It was my friends giving

It was my reveal from my mom's house Gala so it was all cool stuff Gotcha so everyone's kind of coming in With their own special niche And like contributing in different ways of the show. Exactly. So how much of the show would you say is like I guess like documentary reality style and then how much of the show is rebuilding homes? I think what's cool about our show it makes us a little bit different than like your typical home renovation show is like when you

watch a home renovation show you kind of hit play, watch the before you fast forward through the middle of it because it's just more renovation boring stuff and then you get to the end and it's the reveal. That's all we really care about. I think it's cool about our show was like, you got, you get an intro of whose house we're doing in the beginning. And in the middle, you get to see like a reality docu-storyline throughout the whole show. And then at the end, you get the reveals again. Gotcha. How did you decide, like, what houses you were going to do, whose houses, and then you said you did nine. How did you settle on that number?

Well, it was tough. I mean, like, this, like, this show is very organic in the sense that, like, I had to go get these clients. And I had to go, like, kind of beg friends and family to do it. Also, they don't have, so it's on you, all that stuff? Yeah, so a lot. So I had to go get these people. And I had to, like, kind of, like, everyone that we did this through was through somebody we knew, you know? And, uh, and like, even like the budget thing, I was like, I have to make these, I have to basically win these clients over.

Like, why are you going to let someone with honestly, like, what's great about the show is like, I start with minimal experience. by the end of it, we're doing some really, really cool shit. And so, like, everyone gets to learn and grow with me throughout this show. But you, like, I am competing, and I'm competing with other contractors here, like, on these houses. Like, why would you let me in your house? So I'm trying to give them cheaper, cheaper discounts than other contractors already get them. I'm trying to do whatever. Like, yo, I'm your friend from high school.

Like, let me renovate your home, you know, pulling all the cards out. And that's kind of how we got it. And we just kind of kept, you know, adding projects. And, you know, I was like, oh, you know what, let's surprise my dad and renovate his home. And we kicked him out of the house for five days. And he had no idea. We did a complete flip in his home. It was awesome.

Wow. That's amazing. What do you feel like you learned most from doing the show? So I think the biggest beast of this show was learning how to delegate and work, you know, work as a team. Because now we're working with a design team, a construction team, a, and then work with science. And you work with the town. And so it's just so many moving pieces and you have to be in so many different places at once. And it was just really learning how to manage and delegate people and try and, you know, it's really the starts of the company.

Yeah, that's that's what I'm getting. And that's, I'm excited to watch because it's cool to see someone start a company. And it's like that's, that'll be interesting and seeing you actually. Our first project was a $30,000 project. And we really can't do much with that. And I told, you know, my partner is Robin Jess. I was like, guys, we're probably not going to make a dollar here. But we got to get our foot in the door.

We got to start making a name for ourselves. Like, this is how we start. Well, wait, when you say $30,000 on our project, what do you mean? So that's your budget on doing what? That's our budget. We basically had to do three rooms. And that's, that's renovating. And we had, we had, actually four rooms.

We had to do the five rooms. We had to do closet, bathroom, primary bedroom. Well, closet, primary bathroom, primary bedroom, guest bedroom, and then they're outdoor entertainment area. Oh, my gosh. That's a lot for 30 hours. Yeah, so we're touching a lot of rooms. The only thing we touched is the kitchen and living room. Everything else got renovated.

And so it was a lot of work. And like in the bathrooms, like we completely transformed the bathroom. We transformed their closet, made this like beautiful makeup alco for Ashley and just so many really cool things that we did to try and, you know, really get the most thing for a buck out of that $30,000 budget we had. Nice. I know when it comes to like television and just like getting a show made, there's so many like loops to go through and just so many things you have to do. Was there ever a point where you guys were, you know, spending money and in putting your hard work in this

and then potentially worried that like the show might not get made? No, I was always confident in that. I was always confident that we were going to have a show and we're going to do. I was just, the only thing I was scared of is, am I going to delay the show so long? Am I going to spend too much money? You know what I mean? So that was my fears. I always had confidence on their end.

It was more confidence on my end that we were going to be able to deliver for them. Got it. Gotcha. How many episodes are there? Eight episodes. And do they come out like one a week? It comes out all at once. So April 18th, you get every single episode on Prime Video.

You can binge it, everybody. Nice. I think we all enjoy a little bit of binge TV, so I think it'll be exciting. That's all we do. We do. We're big TV bingers. So we'll crush your show in two days. That's what I need.

I'm Jamil Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Politics. And on the latest episode of Politics, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins me for a candid conversation about the state of the Democratic Party. What do Republicans say to you privately that they won't say? publicly. Many of them are in fear of their political lives, and that's been part of the challenge, but we continue to say to them, you were elected to defend your constituents, to stand up for your constituents, and there's life after Congress. And you should be willing to actually want to be able to look back on your time in the House of Representatives, knowing that you can keep your head held high because you did the right thing. Donald Trump is gone in three and a half years,

but their legacy or their failure to stand up to the extremism and the unprecedented assault on America as we know it will be with them forever.

Maybe you felt stuck in a job, a place, or even a relationship. I'm Emily Tish Sussman, and on she pivots, I dive into the inspiring pivots of Will

women who have taken big leaps in their lives and careers. I'm Gretchen Whitmer, Jody Sweeten, Monica Patton, Elaine Welteroff. I'm Jessica Voss. And that's when I was like, I got to go. I don't know how, but that kicked off the pivot of how to make the transition. Learn how to get comfortable pivoting because your life is going to be full of them. Every episode gets real about the why behind these changes and gives you the inspiration and maybe the push to make your next pivot.

Listen to these women and more on She Pivots, now on the I Heart Radio, app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, so then let's pivot over to OnlyFans. Yeah. Yeah, what happened there. Yeah, let's talk about that. So, OnlyFans. So that was, so we shot this video because, so in Jupiter, there is a legend, Bert Reynolds.

He is like Jupiter's guy. You know, he lived in Jupiter for a long time. Love Burt Reynolds. Yeah, we have the Burt Reynolds. So random. I didn't know this. Yeah, we have the Burt Reynolds Amphitheater. We have many Burt Reynolds parks. And he's someone I was adopted and I was like, and my uncle, you know, he's been a pain of my ass on this show.

And you guys are going to see. He just is the bane of my existence for a long time. But it all works out. And he wants this big mantle built in his house, like stone wall all the way up to these like 16-plus ceilings. So we're doing it. And he's like, I want to want to. a nice piece of art for right there and like went off my head. I was like, oh, I got a piece of art for you, you know?

And so I was like, let's shoot this picture. It'll just, I know it'll just like, I was thinking it was gonna piss them off, you know? You guys have to watch and see to see his reaction. It's pretty priceless. But we got together and we shot this video and we shot the shoot of me dressing naked and doing the whole thing and doing the Bert Reynolds shoot.

So we decided what can we do with this, you know, to make it, make a big splash leading up to the show. We were releasing the trailer April 2nd. We thought everyone, everyone like all much like home renovation projects are always like, show us a different kind of reveal. So I was like, oh, okay, okay. So then you're like, let's do the only fans. And then everything on, the only fans will be promoting the show. So that's kind of how it all came together. And it was like a little publicity stunt.

And I think it made a little bit of a wave, I would say. I saw your TikTok actually like yesterday where you were talking about the girl that was on your flight. Oh my gosh. That was like making such a scene. Wait, what happened? What happened? Serena, I was mortified. So, Joe, I had secondhand embarrassment like watching it for you.

I mean, like it was very funny at all. But yeah, I was laughing watching you tell the story. So, Joe, it's like 10.30 at night. Our flight's already delayed three hours. You know how everyone kind of fords the line when they're trying to get on the plane? Yeah. The lady goes behind me and she's like, oh my God, oh my God, it's Tyler Cameron. I'm like, like, can I get a picture?

I was like, yeah. And then she's like, this is my boyfriend. Like, and she's like being a lot. And then she starts going to everyone like, do you know who that is? That's Todd Cameron. That's the worst. And everyone's kind of like. That's the worst.

No, I don't know who that is. I was like, just get me on this plane immediately. Yeah, you're like, I love that you know who I am. And this is so nice, but no one else here knows who I am. or cares so now I'm so embarrassed on the plane and so I start kind of creeping to the line to get away and then she goes oh my god you have an only fans and she's like he's had the only fans guys I'm like oh no oh no and then I'm like I like go down with the jetway and as I'm like sitting waiting to get on the plane some guy older guy with his like eight-year-old son he goes great man

now you got my eight-year-old kid asking me what only fans is this is so bad you're like go Tyler Cameron. Yeah, I was like, son, you don't have to worry about homie fans for many, many years. Oh, my God. Do you think, you think when your dad watches the show, he is going to be impressed with your construction skills at this level? I think so. I think what's cool is you see my dad a lot throughout the show.

It's kind of a big family and friends type of show. And he's a big character throughout of the, you know, and like a lot of that you'll see like me trying to get his approval because he's been in this industry for so long and yeah he kind of wanted to prove like I can do this too you know I don't you know we got an argument I said like pops I don't need you I can figure this out you know because he wanted to to be on top of me always hovering over me like I remember he went to one of the houses and changed out the niche that we put in the bathroom and and then the owner came back he's like no no like that's not the niche I want I had to change it again you know I was just

like pops you can't be doing this stuff yeah I get it I mean my My dad's the same way. And when I got back into the produce business, I started working for him. And, yeah, I was making $300 a week. And he was throwing artichokes at my head. So, yeah, not great. Not great. It's best to be just father and son and not COVID.

Yeah, working with your parents is. No, it's hard. It's difficult. I can imagine. It is. Is there like an episode or a part of the show you're most excited for people to get to see? I think episode eight, the last episode is definitely like, going to be a great episode for

everyone to get to. It's cool because the whole show streamed like the storyline is renovating my mom's house and then we all see it episode eight. So you get bits and pieces of it throughout and then episode eight is the reveal. And you also get the Hannah designed to that episode. But

the episode eight, the reveal of my mom's house, it's just you can see it was a true labor of love. It means so much to all of us. I get emotional. I cry. A lot of tears from a lot of people. it's just i mean that was the home that my parents brought me to when i was born and so you know finally renovated it's it's like the bittersweet thing of like not being able to give

those keys to my mom but to to honor her and do it the way she would have wanted to do it was really cool and uh it's special it's a great episode and i just i think that's the one that really ties this whole series together and just makes it a great series that's amazing that's really really that's super special do you get to share I know you host a gala for the foundation that you have in your mom's name. Is that part of the show? Do you get to kind of showcase? You guys get to see that and like get to see that party and just the things we do to honor it, honor her and all the fun that comes with it. So it's, it'll be exciting to share all that.

Kind of show you like what we have going on in Jupiter and and then you guys can understand why I am in Jupiter now and don't really want to be anywhere else. You're going to have so many people moving to Jupiter being like, hey, Tyler, can you? Can you renovate me in my house? Yeah, I've already gotten some of those. Really? You got business in front of us. Well, are you planning on doing any rentals outside of Florida? I think I would outside of Florida would probably be just for my own projects.

Okay. Rentals that I would want to create for myself. And would you, and that, like, how do you feel about the Airbnb game of it all? I love it. I love it. I turn two of my properties from the show into. short-term rentals to Airbnb's and it's a fantastic investment. I'm a super host. Oh, wow, look at you. Yeah, yeah. I love it. And it's a big job because, I mean,

I'm responding to the people. So is my partner, like my, or my help on it. It's you, you really, I mean, the customer's always right. You know, like, and like a lady moved in the other day. And she's like I need I need lawn chairs I was like well we don't really like we provide tons of seating already outside I was like you know what swallow it just go get her lawn chairs and then I went over to met her like her tone wasn't really meant that way but she was so sweet so nice and we delivered and like if what's what's $200 in lawn chairs when you're making you know three grand on the on the house for that for that stay to you know now you happen for the next yes and whatnot so like I had to go buy a bunch of baby products like like bounce house

like bounce play pens and all these things for a guest but i was like you know what at least now we have it for the guests going forward yeah wow and do you do you like do you pull um do you pull like Airbnb stats up of how the rentals like the percentage of how easy it is to rent a property in that area do you do all that i'm assuming yeah i do all that um so i'm always checking those numbers i've kind of gotten to like all the research of it all and it's fun like once i finish my house i'm to buy the next one to turn into an Airbnb and such. So if Joe and I or anyone listening is looking to buy like an Airbnb or a rental property somewhere in Florida, like what should they look for, aka what should we look for?

You want to be by the coast. You want to be by the coast. Yeah. I think people are going to always grow, like, it's their vacation place, you know. And I think if you go, if you go buy Disney, you'll be fine because that's another big tourist attraction. but you want to go where tourists are going. And my area is pretty much from Stewart all the way down to Miami is great places to go.

I think the West Coast, you know, Fort Myers, Naples, all places that tons of people come home and come down and visit. So I think Florida you can't miss as long as you're by the coast. Yeah. I never envision being with a woman. I'll just be honest. I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Spolitics. On this week's episode, I'm joined.

by basketball legend, Candice Parker, who stops by to discuss her candid new book, The Can Do Mindset, in which she shares why she waited two years into marriage to come out. Like when I close my eyes at night, every night, I was like, I need to find my prince charming. Like, it was never a princess. Like, that never entered into my mind. But, you know, as I learned, sometimes life gives you things wrapped in a package that you didn't expect it.

And that was just, you know, and honestly, it took me a long time to be okay with myself.

So we're good. When we talk about reality TV, how was special forces it was it was a beast man it was days of hell and but it was also one of the most like transformative and amazing experiences well i mean i created great bonds and great friends with those people you know jojo and nick have become really really close to me and that's because i got a when you're when you're stripped to just who you are and you have nothing to brag about talk about it just but real life matters you get to really know and learn about people and i got to really understand Nick more

and really learn about Jojo and now we're all like it's like a little family is great I feel like I saw a TikTok that Jojo's going to like name a kid after you or something do you know Freddie Eddie and Teddy

so Freddy Eddie and Teddy I think I might get a middle name somewhere. Okay how do you feel about that? Love it, love it. I'll be the cool uncle for sure there you go. That's so funny. Nice. Yeah that show yeah that show looks

in touch Joe, you said you would do it. Yeah, I would do it if they asked me, but I mean, I don't know if they're going to ask. I've had many people call me, like, you know, that's been casted to do it possibly. And I'm like, it's, it's hurts. It's, I mean, I've never been in so much pain and, and soreness in my life because they don't push you just as far as everyone else is being pushed. They push you individually as far as. Yeah.

I was wondered that. Yeah. And it's just intense and like, yeah, I may be stronger than someone, but they're going to get me to my, my biggest. You know, it was incredible in the the DS the staff that's in charge just badass and that they motivate the hell out of you. They push you. They're amazing Cool. Would you, is there any other reality show that you would do as far as like another competition? Would you ever do like Survivor or anything like that? Like traders. I think I would die on Survivor. I think like I'm the once I'm hungry, I'm the biggest wimp there is. And I feel like they just always hungry. So I don't know how that we how good I would do on that. Um, traders

look pretty cool. I got like I got like I got like I got like yeah that was cool. I would be so bad at it because I'm like too nice and too like just like I don't I don't lie, I don't do any of that stuff. Like, I would just, they were just like, yeah, this gets done, you know. You have, like, in order to be on those shows, though, you have to. You have to be able to lie and manipulate or you're done. Unless you're not a traitor, then you're just honest. You're like, yeah, I'm not a traitor.

What happens when you're a traitor? Yeah, you're screwed and he's going home. Yeah, I always be like giggling the whole time. They'd be like, yeah, this fucking idiot. How is dating life? We have to ask. It's good. I think my, the way I've, like, this last year,

Like going through this show and being back home in Jupiter has really changed the way I look at dating and what I want to do. Like I'm not going to lie. I think I've grown up the most from like 30 to 31 that I have in like the last five years. And I think I've learned like, you know, I want to have these responsibilities of having these big businesses and trying to grow these things. And you can't be doing the crazy dumb stuff. And you've got to learn to settle and be content with where you are in life. And I think the way I was dating before was like chasing what was like what glittered and was fun and and and what was never really good for me where now I kind of, you know, I'm home now. I'm dating in Jupiter.

I'm like, I'm trying to meet people that are that I relate to or relate with and are part of working and are, you know, do want to raise a family, do all these things and stuff like that. So being home has really made it better for me for dating. I think and it's just kind of made me zoned in on like what's more important than what just glitters. Yeah. Well, dating I feel like in Jupiter has to be different than dating in New York. For sure. For sure. And it's probably

the best thing for me. Yeah. Yeah. Not in a bad way. No, I know. Okay. No, I laughed. I was like, no, I didn't see that in a negative. New York's like, for him like New York had to be like I laughed because it just had to be totally insane. But yeah, I was

going to ask you, do you want kids? You want a family? Yeah, I want like, I want like five kids. I want to have a big family. I want to, like, yeah, just, like, that's a me. You can rent out of the house for your, for your five kids. I mean, I'm building this house to hopefully have my first couple of kids in, and then hopefully I'll have to upgrade, you know. But that's my goals.

I want to be in this house for a while. I'm going to mac it out, make it so it's the way I want to live in it. And just kind of, I'm really playing my roots here in town. And I was telling everybody, like, my 10-year goal from here is, I want to be the high school football coach. Like, I don't, like, this is the life I want to live, simple, easy, and, and I don't know, it's just, I kind of just got back to being simple again, I would say.

Nice. That's great. That's good. It's healthy. Do you, how is your interior design skills? So it was not the strongest at the beginning of the show. Okay. We had people like Jessica and then Hannah come on.

I learned a ton from, and Jessica was great. She had amazing designs, and I love that every house was different. And she kind of taught me, like, every house needs to have its own. own feel and look based off what the house gives you. And I've kind of taken that and run with it. And now I love to design homes myself. I'm using my house now as like my own guinea pig and I'm doing tons of fun stuff. And I'm really pushing the issue with my house. But I love design now. I'm a great interior. I'm a fantastic interior designer. Joe laughs. But I actually am.

Well, Joe always always says like if he could go back to school for anything, it would be interior design like if he if he were to have a in his next life if he could be anything it would be an interior designer like you do love like fashion and design you do but it's just like I laugh because it's so not in line with like I think what anyone would expect of you including myself so in 2014 I bought a condo I bought my first condo in Chicago and I gut it the motherfucker we completely gutted it and my my friend Gino actually he really knows what he's doing but like I after I got it I was like fuck i don't have any i don't have i don't have cabinets i have nothing yeah um and i i remodeled it and i picked all the design choices and i put i put i put panel brick um on the one wall and then

i did a different color brick by the fireplace and uh granite countertops honestly it was it was gorgeous is this your pitch for tyler to hire you next season like what is arena do you get to see this place i didn't i didn't i sold it i sold it i sold it i sold it before um like right before i went on bachelor in paradise the second time i've seen like some photos and videos from it no but the only well i basically i i broke even with everything i put into it and then living there for whatever four years the issue was i bought a one bedroom and if i would have bought a two bedroom i would have made money yeah okay and that's a rookie mistake right hey i mean that's how we learn yeah i mean you're a single guy one bedroom you know i want a one

bedroom in New York. That's my goal one day is to buy one bedroom in New York. So I, you know, like you said, I'm going to fix it up. But the resale probably won't be great. But I just wanted to that's why I want to live eventually. My weekend house. Your weekend house. I was going to say, we just talked about how you're settling down in Tampa. He's coming back to New York. No, no, my weekend getaway because I love the city. And I love going up there for like dinners, drinks, meeting friends. We don't get that excitement as much in Jupiter. So I always get the kids. I'm always like to get back to the city. Have some fun. I would love to go up there, like have my like own closet, own stuff.

Out of, before we let you go, out of all, you know, you're also a model. And out of all like your modeling gigs and everything you've done, what are you, I guess what are you the most proud of? I would easily say that I'm most proud of the foundation that we started in honor my mom. I think that's something that's going to make a huge difference. And a lot of these kids that we're working with. So we started this thing, you know, three years ago. Our first two kids, we gave them like partial scholarships, but they were like the biggest scholarships around like $16,000 towards their tuition.

Now, if you're an in-state kid going to a public school, University of Florida, Florida State, stuff like that, we're covering your full tuition. And our first year we did two. Then we did five the next year. Now we're doing 14 this year. I mean, we're just growing and growing. Next year we're already trying to do 20.

And we're trying to find ways to partner with people to take care of the room and board and all these other things. Like, we want to make college, like, you know, take that weight off of themselves and off of their parents so they don't have to be in debt and nothing like that because we're trying to target like low income kids, kids that, you know, like household incomes like $40,000 and these, you know, these parents. It's a lot of money to send something to college. You know, so we want to help take that burden off of them.

And I think we're creating a really cool family. We're helping our kids get internships now. Hopefully help them get jobs down the road. And I just love our kids. We're going to have a barbecue at my house June 1st with all the kids. And we're having 100 people there for them. And it's like it's just something that I take pride in. And I think out of everything I do, I think that's what's going to make the biggest difference

and something I'll be proud of when I'm done. See, I would have said Calvin Klein. But no, that's awesome. And you do a, you guys, you have a gala every year, right? Yeah, we have a gala every year. We're doing a Mother's Day brunch coming up May 19th. It'll be like 100 bucks and we're going to have a big brunch party. It's always a blast when we do those.

But the gala will be again October 11th. So that'll be a lot of fun. So that's definitely the one thing I'm very, very proud of. If people that are listening want to donate, where can they donate?
