when we were on the show
bro
but you know
my name's so unique
I just don't have
any numbers
I was like
shut up
do you remember
you tried
I was gonna change it
I was like yeah
I'm thinking about
changing it to like something else you were like for what it's just your name that's so hard I was like, shut up! Do you remember you tried? I was going to change it. I was like, yeah, I'm thinking about changing it to something else.
You were like, for what?
It's just your name.
That's so hard.
I was going to change it to something stupid.
So I was like, Prince Charles.
I was going to change my social media to Prince Charles.
Why would you do that?
Well, my middle name is Charles.
And Ada back home calls me Charlie.
And her family calls me Charlie.
Are you serious?
Yeah, because before her younger sisters couldn't say my name.
So Ada nicknamed me Charlie.
Nobody here can say your name.
Really?
It's J-B-R-I-E-N.
Everybody thinks it's J-B-R-I-E-N, J-B-R-I-E-N.
J-B-R-I-E-N sometimes.
It's close.
J-B-R-I-E-N, that's the worst.
J-B-R-I-E-N is what I miss the most, but it's J-B-R-I-E.N. That's the worst. Yeah, the diet.
Brian is what I miss the most.
But it's J.B.R.I.E.N., everybody.
There you go.
Once you get it, you love it.
All right.
So what were we talking about?
What's something you wish you would have done on the show that you have a regret?
What's your only regret?
You know, my biggest regret is like hella not having a haircut the entire show.
Oh, my God.
I hated it.
I can't believe they did this like that the first day.
Like, showtime, the intro of the show.
We were just chilling in a hotel for two weeks with no haircut, no life.
All we had was TV.
Dude, my FBoy Island, like the poster picture of me, I look like a 60-year-old man.
I was like, I'm someone's granddad, and I'm a divorced dad, for sure.
I'm not even a good granddad. It was. Your hair
was so long. Oh, my God.
Half my collar was up, and nobody even
said anything. And you're holding your arm like
you got shot. Literally. Like, I was begging
your guy. I was like, please, please, not this way.
Far left, far left. Please, look, oh, my
God. Look at my
collar. And the guy, I asked, he showed me. It's still not bad, though.. Please, look. Oh, my God. Look at my collar.
And the guy, I asked, he showed me. It's still not bad, though.
It is, though.
It's like really bad.
I had a hole in my arm.
That's the funny thing.
My arm is in the middle of my pants because I have a hole there.
After we did our little stretch, I ripped my pants like SpongeBob.
And I had to, he was like, hide it.
I was like, no, just don't take a picture.
You had to put your arm
weirdly there
it looks like you just
got stung by a mosquito
it does
they just dropped
by bees
I just got my blood drawn
it looks weird
but that
I wish I had a haircut
every time I saw me
on screen
I looked like
we looked like trash
the first three weeks
you looked like
you were selling
wine at a
golf course
that looks like
I was money laundering
that looked freaking horrible wine at a golf course. That looks like I was money laundering.
You look freaking horrible.
But you,
you look pretty, pretty buffed up though.
Like for real.
I was trying hard before the show.
Oh my God.
Like the picture with you and Luis right there.
Dude,
I was like,
you were sitting by us for a while,
right?
Yeah.
I was like,
so proud.
Like I'm the reason why you were yoked up.
I was like,
what?
Like, it looks, it looks great. I'm so proud. I'm the reason why you were yoked up. I was like, what?
Sit back.
It looked great.
I look kind of fat here if you click on that one.
What's wrong with me?
Did we just eat?
Did we just eat?
I hate this picture, bro.
Because AC, he doesn't look like that. He doesn't.
He looks great.
And that, he looks like...
That looks like I have an Audi belly button.
He looks like a Magnum ice cream bar.
Those are so good.
They are actually quite amazing.
Look how fat I look.
Did I just eat a half rack of ribs?
You don't look that bad, though.
I mean, you have a front wedgie, which is a little...
Oh, my God.
Which is a little...
It is.
The glasses.
Can we talk about how iconic your glasses were to people?
Oh, my God.
Everybody loved Benedict.
Benedict had these shade glasses that he flipped up up and everybody thought they were the coolest thing ever
every time i put them on i was like my family hates me bro i thought they were so dope i was
like i wish i could pull those off you so can't those are only a benedict thing i would look so
dumb with those glasses they look great though i was like just jealous everybody was pretty jealous
looking at you in those glasses really oh yes i'm so glad you were i think you fell asleep one night and uh mikey so i think it was mikey somebody came down with the glasses on
and i laughed and i was like i'm a teller they're like no i just wanted to try it
they just want to try your stuff that was like you with your fits every night oh i know bro it
took me like six hours to get ready you said you didn't even buy anything for the trip i didn't
actually i was going to, but I
live in California, but I don't
go to the beach like that.
Because Northern California beaches kind of suck.
They're really dirty and really
cold. They're not... What's the best beach in California?
To me,
Stinson Beach is the best beach in California.
Why?
The weather's usually nice.
The water like really pretty
there's a lot of people there as far as my experience I'm sure there are other
people in SoCal who completely disagree I think SoCal beaches are really dirty
there's like you look at me like soda cans and it's like like this so it's
like a nice beach it's like a Shasta so on the floor RC Cola on the lake. What year is it?
But yeah,
the beach.
So I don't know how to dress for the beach.
So I didn't have sandals.
I thought it was so weird
in like season one
because that's the only way
I knew what to wear
just by watching season one.
And those dudes
were wearing like jeans
and like weird shit
on the beach.
Dude, Twitter ripped them apart
because of the way they dressed.
It was weird.
That's why I was like,
I'm going to wear something else.
But it was,
remember how cold it was some nights? At night, oh my God. I hated the sound of the waves by the way. I. It was weird. That's why I was like, I'm going to wear something else. But it was, remember how cold it was
some nights?
At night, oh my God.
I hated the sound of the waves,
by the way.
I couldn't sleep with it.
What?
Yeah, I thought,
I think everybody romanticizes
the sound of water.
Yeah, they do.
When you can't fall asleep,
you play waves
crashing a beach on your ear.
Until you're actually next to it.
It sounds like a shipwreck.
You're like,
am I going to drown?
Icebergs, straight ahead!
I actually kind of hated it.
It wasn't like.
A lot of people did.
Can I ask you something?
I couldn't even.
Bro, I think we snored so loud in the house.
Oh, my God.
People hated us.
People heard the waves.
People hated us.
It was just me and you.
Remember we fell asleep downstairs on the couch?
Just ripping the fucking paint off the walls.
They snore so loud.
We couldn't stop.
We shattered the windows.
I have to ask you something that I've been wanting
to ask you about on the show.
Oh my God.
So,
when it came to
like any instance
on the show
were you ever actually
upset about something?
Because you played it
like you were very
like nonchalant.
Alright, so whatever.
Even when Austin called you,
you know,
when Mercedes called you,
you were the nice guy.
Oh no,
Mercedes would never do that.
He did it.
So like,
obviously your theory was wrong.
So like,
were you ever, was there any instance or something that happened until it actually truly
upset you and it had you like really mad I just thought it was like if anything would upset me I
was like oh they just made him say that like I would think that oh my god that's so stupid I know
so bit of it of the doubt I know He would never. He would. Well,
I got upset because
I felt like I didn't
have a fair chance to win
because I went on
the first date
and the last date
with Luis.
Everything in between,
I was like,
bro,
give me,
and then people
were getting two dates
and three dates
at a market.
So I was like,
this is unfair.
Like,
I must be doing this
on purpose.
There's no way.
So I got upset
about that actually
because I was like,
I don't have a fair shot.
Do you not remember
when you came to me and I was like, Luis told me Mercedes So I was like, I don't have a fair shot. Do you not remember when you came to me?
I was like, Luis told me Mercedes said I was an F-boy.
I, like, was pissed.
And I was like, bro, like, he said it.
Like, you're in this competition.
Think about it.
It makes sense.
And you were like, you still were like, nah, I don't know.
We work out together.
You were using every excuse.
We both had looked at the wheels at the same time.
We both drink water in the morning.
We sleep by each other.
I feel like I was more upset with you or like situations for you than you actually were.
I just kind of rubbed it off.
I was like, it doesn't really matter.
You think so?
Yeah, because I was like, Louise knows.
I'm not.
She hella didn't know.
She didn't know deep down.
No, she didn't know.
She didn't know until like the man's name.
Because when I talked to her about...
She didn't know until the mansling.
You mean the reveal?
No, the mansling, dog.
She didn't know what?
I don't think she really, truly, like, believed you were a good person until the mansling.
Oh, my God.
I think...
Jesus Christ, dude.
It's like the ninth week.
Yeah, bro.
I think, like, you were...
Piece of shit.
Oh, okay. I think she was were Piece of shit? Oh, okay.
I think she was on the fence
about you, of course.
Like, she was like,
obviously, Benedict's a good guy.
Like, he says he's
becoming a nice guy.
But like, once everybody
said great things about you,
then she was like,
oh, yeah, he's genuine.
But I swear she still didn't care.
She didn't like it.
I was like,
what are you going to do?
And I think she liked you
as like a human being,
which is great.
I think Louise is dope. She's dope as hell. I just think you just, she was like, he's just not for me. And I think she liked you as like a human being, which is great. I think Luis is dope.
She's dope as hell.
I just think you just, she was like, he's just not for me.
And I think she tried to thank you for her.
Man, I was trying.
Yeah, you tried.
I was trying hard.
You tried hard.
Bro, I was game planning.
I really thought, I think the mansplaining is when I knew like, oh yeah, she's picking Mercedes.
Why?
I told you, I think.
Because she had her hands on both of us.
Oh my God, did you show that on camera?
I don't know. I think she did. Dude, there's a both of us. Oh, my God. Did you show that on camera? I don't know.
I think she did.
Dude, there's a part during the man's fight, if you pay attention.
Mercedes is holding Luis's hand.
And right across, Benedict has his arm across her shoulder.
It was the weirdest.
Bro, me and him were fighting over that shoulder.
Oh, my God.
That's what I noticed.
I had a scratch on my nose.
I was like, I can't move my arm.
Because he's got it.
Yeah, because if I did this, his arm would have slid. can't move my arm cause he's gonna yeah cause if I
if I did this
his arm would have slid
and I'd have been like
that's what I'm talking about
it's like
they can really
we're dating like
all guys
like one woman
so weird
we were the weirdos
I know
fighting over her
I know
dude we were trying
like
just going at it
remember we'd be like
hey can I talk to her
in two minutes
like you'd ever do that
in real life
never bro
I would never
hey can I talk to her
in two minutes like what if somebody said that to you while you were
talking i'd be like get the fuck out of here and you know i think i'm gonna let him i'm like you're
bold go ahead she's the one for you yeah i don't like her or i'll be like do you want to ask her
is this what you want whatever you want as a girl yes yeah like you want to talk to him yes or no
you know how confident it is that's confident and respectful to be like, hey, bro, like...
I'd be like, are you going to punch me?
Why do you wait one minute?
Why do I walk away?
I pee every five minutes.
Just wait.
Wait your turn.
What do you regret?
What do you regret from the show?
Or what do you wish you would have done differently?
I wish I would have licked her toes a little longer, honestly.
No, bro.
You were like hitting me.
I see.
And I love pretty feet.
But that was extreme for me.
Bro, I swear they like ran it back on me.
I promise, dude.
That looked like that was new.
It looked like a new territory.
I think she told me to do it again.
Really?
Dude, because when we were sitting there, that picture right there, when we were sitting by it, she goes, I like getting my feet kissed.
And I was like, mental note.
Oh, my God, bro.
You didn't just kiss them.
I was going in.
I was playing this little piggy.
You sucked each individual toe.
Did you forget your family was going to watch this?
I had to go in, bro.
It was the last shot.
All these dogs.
I'm an animal lover.
You put the whole thing in your mouth.
It did look like I was eating corn all the time.
It looked like you were enjoying it.
You were like, fuck this massage.
Give me your toes.
She liked it. Stop.
If she likes it, she likes it.
That's not for TV.
I kissed her butt.
That was so overlooked.
It was. What was was so overlooked It was
No what was overlooked
Is the fact that I was like
I was trying not to cuss on TV
So
Cause I was like
I just don't wanna
I don't wanna cuss a lot on TV
And when
When Mercedes
When you said Mercedes
I said I'm an F-boy
I tried not to say fuck
I was like
What the fuck
What the heck
What the hell
You were like
Why are you
It's HBO.
They have sex on this.
Literally,
I'm like holding back.
I'm like,
my family's going to watch this.
My family's going to watch this.
The whole time.
Like,
my family,
my family.
I should have just did it.
I do feel like
I did a little bit.
You did a little bit
like down the road.
Yeah,
down the road,
I was like,
forget it.
People are going to watch this.
They're going to love me
or hate me.
What's something
you wish that they
would have had on
the show that they
didn't have that you
knew you were proud
of?
Getting the same
type of fight.
Oh!
Nobody knows about
it, bro.
Run it back.
So, elimination.
Elimination.
When Austin got
eliminated, I think
that was episode six,
and he said Benedict
was the F-boy.
And they cut it out, but I stood up and said that's yes because Benedict or he's always Austin's only saying this because he's friends with Mercedes so he's
trying to have Mercedes back and I wasn't thinking about Mercedes I was
just thinking about like I'm gonna have my boys back since yes you know trash so
the part where Mercedes looks at you and says i didn't tell him
to say that yeah if you look close you see my arm reach over and grab mercedes because that's
when i say to mercedes like hey i wasn't trying to tell your name out there and i don't know if
you remember mercedes was like brad don't matter you made me look bad and i was like bro i don't
care if i made you look bad we could you know i said yeah but back and he was like nah we'll talk
about it inside we'll talk about it inside so i'm like all right bet we're gonna talk about it inside so um we um go inside
we meet you um asante was there too uh in mercedes we all talk about it in mercedes like bro you just
made it look like i was being messy and i wasn't yeah and in this instance this is the first time
mercedes was legit like not being messy so mer Mercedes was innocent a thousand percent.
And,
I said,
yeah,
I'll talk to Luis tomorrow
and let her know like,
nah,
you weren't a part of it
and I was just defending my boy.
And he was like,
alright,
bet.
So,
the next day,
I talked to Luis
and I let her know like,
hey,
like Mercedes had nothing to do with it.
But she did,
I didn't tell you this,
but she did say to me,
how come Benedict
didn't stand up for herself?
I just thought it was so stupid.
And I said,
I feel like I came up
with a good line.
Honestly, I said, oh, he was about about to i just jumped up too fast oh hell it wasn't i was really not
you were like biting your nail you were not about to no way bro but i think that's like if anybody
believes this dude like fuck off but i really thought like i was like shoot this makes him
look bad too so i was like i gotta have my voice back you had me so i was like yeah he was about to but i jumped up before him so it, too. So I was like, I got to have my points back. Yeah, you had me. So I was like, yeah, he was about to, but I jumped up before him.
So it would have looked too stupid if he got up after me to assess him.
So she was like, okay.
She's still mad.
Right.
So the next elimination was a reveal night.
This is what people don't know.
There was actually an elimination on the reveal night that they stopped.
They just cut it.
And Mercedes was up there.
I was up there.
Benedict was up there.
Tom was up there.
Casey was up there.
And Brady was up there.
And when Luis was talking to Mercedes, she was like, Mercedes, I still don't know if I can trust you.
Because after J.B. and Asante came to me and said that, you know, you were, you didn't, you know, vouching for you, basically.
You still told me they were both F-boys.
And that's when I was like, oh, shit.
How dare he?
Like, you know, but I, but then I was pissed about that.
But then once he revealed he was an F-boy, I actually wasn't going to say anything. And that's the I but then I was pissed about that but then once he revealed
he was an F boy
I actually wasn't
gonna say anything
that's the true story
I was like whatever
I'm just
he's an F boy
so it makes sense now
yeah
and when the girls
after the girls left
they were all crying
you know
because they found
that they were revealed
well Tamaris wasn't
she was happy
but Mia was crying
Luis was kind of shaking up
Tamaris walked out happy
bro Mia was going off
remember that
that was crazy
I felt like my mom
was yelling at me she was so pissed I was like shut up everybody shut up she was yelling, Mia was going off. Remember that? That was crazy. I felt like my mom was yelling at me.
She was so pissed.
I was like,
shut up everybody,
shut up.
She was yelling at,
Mia was yelling at guys
that weren't even her guys.
I know.
Because they were,
like Nick W,
she got mad at Nick W
because he was an F boy.
Oh.
And he wasn't even going for it,
he was going for Louise.
Dude,
didn't she leave?
Yeah,
she was pissed.
She walked out,
came back,
walked out,
and that's when we started
doing process of elimination.
I was like,
there's five of us for Tamera's but then long story short the girls walk out
and we're just kind of chilling and Asante says under the Mercedes like a
brother like why would you you know throw our name in the bus and Mercedes like I said it to y'all face and I was like that's when I was
like no you didn't you didn't I would have said something if you said it's my face trust that
and I was like nah you didn't whatever and he's still talking I'm like all right bro and I said
I started going okay Mercedes okay Mercedes and he goes and he says are you trying to intimidate me
and I was like bro I'm not I swear to god I'm not I promise you I'm not because for what like and then um I was sitting like right here literally and then he keeps
talking and I took off like I had I had my blue bandana I took it off my neck and I wrapped it
around my hand right and I saw that I was like oh my god and then he keeps talking oh my god a fight
oh my god a fight I'm sitting like you're on team my legs are crossed I'm like oh my god oh my god
cameras cameras I'm like laughing because he's like he's saying something I'm like oh my god oh my god cameras cameras and I'm like laughing
because he's like
he's saying something
I'm taking off my glasses
and I'm like
oh god
Mercedes
I was like Mercedes
my G
and I start folding
my glasses up
he did
he did all neat
on the armrest
I was like
this is crazy
and then he
he went
bro I was like
but I was still like
kind of smiling
like bro calm
like bro you better
calm down like it's more of bro, you better calm down.
Like, it's more of like, all right, you better relax.
Bro, the bandana.
The bandana.
That's some movie shit.
I had to throw my hand.
And Mercedes said, man, to be honest, if you got an issue with it, you can suck my dick.
Oh, God.
Oh.
I, my whole, everything.
What did you say?
I said, what?
And I stood up and walked around and I started going towards him.
Like, what you talking about?
Like, that's when I'm like the hood in me kind of came out.
I'm like, what, bro?
Like, I turned into a whole different dude.
I'm like, bro, like, what's up?
I thought you were going to hit him.
Because there's a, if you remember like that big meeting we had before the whole show started,
the dude at the, I forget who it was.
I think the executive producer.
It was like, if you touch anybody, you're gone.
Yeah.
And I thought you were like risking it all.
I didn't care.
And then what happened was, and then once I did that like I think everybody
kind of got surprised when I stood up cuz they saw that my whole energy
shifted I was like I don't care about these cameras right like I was gonna
walk around to him and then that's when so you didn't do nothing you like stood
there I want to see what's gonna happen and then Tom Tom got a middle grab me
and they're like in Kim was, you can't let them see you
do this on camera. You can't, bro.
And Tom was like, don't let them get to you.
I was like, everybody's got to
you, Tom. Leave me alone.
So they take me upstairs and
I'm just kind of chilling.
And then like, what was his name?
The producer with the curly hair.
Other comedian.
He was like up there with Dory.
I can't think of his name
right now.
I don't know,
but he,
he,
he walked me and said,
J-Bird,
you all good?
Like,
are we good?
Are we straight?
This is that.
And I'm like,
yeah,
we all good.
And then,
but I wish
they would've kept that in
because the very next day
Mercedes was like,
hey bro,
I want to apologize for,
you know that.
And I was like,
bro,
I don't care about you
calling me an F-boy.
It was the 7-a-dick thing. And that's when we like, me and Mercedes is good now. We boys now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I wish they would've, that. And I was like, bro, I don't care about you calling me F-boy. It was the seven-a-dick thing.
And that's when we like, me and Mercedes is good now.
We boys now.
But I wish they would have kept that in.
It would just add so much more.
You didn't keep any of the fights in.
Why?
I don't know, dude.
I don't know.
Except for Kylan and Mercedes, kind of.
That wasn't even really a fight.
Yeah, that was.
I didn't even hear that.
Mercedes was real smart when he did that.
Bro, we were real drunk when he did that.
But he
knew Luis
was outside.
He walked
in and
closed the
doors.
So she
couldn't even
hear them
arguing.
That's crazy,
bro.
That's
strategy.
Bro,
he was
strategic,
bro.
Mercedes was
smart with
how he did
stuff.
I had no
clue it was
happening the
entire show.
I found out
because I saw
a group of
guys and
I'm like,
what's going
on over there?
I'm like,
what is going
on? They literally had a tagging on the shoulder and I'm like what's going on over there I'm like what is going on
why
and like
they literally had to
tap me on the shoulder
and they were like
go in there
really
yeah
because I
bro the whole show
I was just chilling
yeah
you were
it was so annoying bro
I was like
bro do something
I was like
for what
I'm like
be a part of it
come on
play
like all this drama
you're just like kind of like being funny benedict with
his glass but funny thing is it's not it wasn't wine he had coffee the entire show and everybody
thought it was wine yeah were you just drinking wine all day i was like maybe it was literally
coffee with sparkling water this is so good topo chico i missed that oh my god me too this had the
chefs on deck oh my god remember that one week they were trash?
Oh yeah, they switched them out.
Yeah, they had like shifts of chefs.
The first week it was like, this is amazing.
And then like when the people like started getting eliminated, like the chefs started switching and like we got new ones.
And one week, bro, it was just tacos.
Literally.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Tacos.
Kian like boycotted.
He was like, I'm not putting on a microphone.
I'm not doing an interview.
I'm not doing nothing else until you guys fry me some chicken.
That was a move, though.
He was like, make me a chicken cutlet.
Make me something.
They did not want taco.
And to me, I'm from California, so I'm like, oh, I love Mexican food.
I know.
I wasn't mad.
Any food for free.
I can eat it.
They were like, but everybody was like, bro, these tacos are messing up my stomach.
I can't keep eating them.
I'm like, do you guys understand how good these are?
These are real.
Chicken taco.
Real vegetables.
Grilled.
What?
They would do like fajitas.
Oh, my God.
I really didn't care what it was.
And then the next week, that's when they changed back.
And then we were having steak and lobster and colossal shrimp and then lamb.
Oh, my God.
Lamb.
I tried it. I tried it. I, my God. Lamb. I tried it.
I tried it.
I did try it.
It was perfect.
Yeah.
They ran out of lamb that last time.
The first time they made it because it was so good.
Remember we were trying to hide food in the kitchen and stuff and then eat it when we all wrapped.
Oh, my God.
Kian would hide food.
So, Kian would hide food every night.
In the room.
Every night he would hide food and somebody would steal it.
That's crazy.
Somebody.
Like in the kitchen?
Yes.
One of the producers, Dory, she stole Kian's food one time.
Kian opened it and he looked up.
She called him and she said, Kian.
He looked up and she had his plate and it said, for Kian.
And she ran away.
Oh, he was so – and she ran outside.
So, you know, we couldn't go outside.
Oh!
Yeah, bro.
That hurts.
He was so mad.
He was so mad.
Somebody was stealing Kian kids food every night remember the
head chef was getting mad at us because we'd always get food for the producers yeah like
producers would come up to us and be like yo give me a plate yeah right but what do you want like
i will always give them the best of everything for sure but the head chef was on my ass one time
and i did i had to make like four to-go boxes put them in my room and like have the producers
go up there and
shift and grab them
oh really
yeah bro
see and I did it
for the cameraman
and the sound people
I was like I got y'all
I'm gonna just make
one big one
and you guys can
just kind of share it
so I put it all on there
and they're like
oh my god
you're a lightsaber
thank you so much
but I don't know
why he was tripping
when they told us
they were like
yeah we eat horrible food
the other half of me
was like
why are you guys
so hungry
like yeah
I was like
I don't get it. Aren't you guys like
eating what we eat? They're like, no, we're eating
from a cafe somewhere.
I was still like it.
Can I have some of that?
What are you guys doing?
What do you miss the most about being on the show?
Probably just
just not having
just the schedule, dude.
Just not having to make a decision.
Everybody was just like,
you do this now,
do that now.
And it was annoying.
Like the first week,
and then it was like,
Oh,
this is what we're doing.
This is work.
Yeah.
Go here now.
It's time to eat.
You're doing a scene upstairs and makes it a night.
And it was just like,
all right,
shit.
I don't really have to like care about anything.
This is what we're doing.
What about the,
do you care about the phones? You what I was actually gonna say yeah the first
week is hard I was like I need to talk to my family I need to see cuz I think
that's why I think reality is good I think everybody should do it because you
find out kind of who you are in a stressful situation without your support
you find out if you're a leader or a follower or just an individual someone
kind of sticks in the cell like you find out a lot about yourself.
And I found out a lot about myself.
Stuff that I kind of already knew.
But I enjoyed the fact that, like, I didn't have the stress of, like, oh, where's my phone?
Who do I have to respond back to?
Or, like, oh, let me call and check up on this.
Or even work.
Like, I loved that I didn't have to kind of respond to that, bro.
That was, like, my favorite, bro.
It was nice over time.
Do people know how we became friends
situations i was just nervous as hell on the first day you were cool though you were standing
right next to me uh when we were doing the show open and we were just i was just saying stupid
shit and you were like you were kind of with me on it i was like wait wait oh my god he knows what
i'm talking about literally nobody else was kind of vibing like that.
At all.
It was just me and you right there.
And then I didn't really know what was going on.
I was like, I don't want to be too close to friends with anybody yet because I don't know
what to do.
Yeah.
And then we were just nervous, like getting tested for COVID.
Like we were about to see the girls for the first time.
And I was just standing there and everybody was waiting around.
And I just started singing.
I was like, situations. And you situations and you go that's my song
i was like yes and we literally sung the song off key and just horrible and i was like i love this
man but it was so good i was like i know what who i came for yeah i know who i'm gonna date
after that like if we were like,
literally that same day,
we were like,
I hope we're sharing rooms.
And we were never sharing.
We never did scenes together.
Remember when people
were getting eliminated
and I moved into your room?
Yeah,
that's right.
I kicked you out.
He moved into my room
because my entire room
got eliminated.
I was in a room
with Jared,
with Jared,
Jeremy,
AC,
and Nikolai
all of them were gone
and I was by myself
and then I'm telling
Bennett move in here
so Bennett moves in
the next day they're like
oh Bennett they gotta move out
cause Danny and Mercedes
are moving in here
I was like why can't he stay
I'm like why not
like
my room got mad at me
did they when you left
they're like are you staying here
tonight or no
I was like what the hell dude
people really didn't think we were real friends.
Like, it's funny because I think
one of the producers actually asked me,
like, do you want to actually be like the original show?
I was like, we're all friends.
How can you do that?
Like, am I going to fake it?
Like, I was like, nah, that's my boy.
Like, for real.
We're not girls.
Bro, I was like,
I knew we became friends
when we really started sharing
like real stuff with each other in the room.
Like, late at night.
I don't know if you remember that.
That was crazy. You were telling me stuff about like your at night I don't know if you remember that that was crazy
you were telling me stuff
about like your past
and I was like
oh that's my boy for real
yeah
a lot of people don't know this stuff
we'd have like an hour
before we had to get dressed
and be like bro
let's just go in the room
and just talk
literally
gotta talk it out
got to
it was like
it was what we needed
and even when I was eliminated
on episode 8
they like
kind of downplayed
how bad that was
oh they did oh they downplayed how bad that was oh they did
oh they downplayed
they didn't
you know what they didn't show
me crying
when we got eliminated
they didn't show you crying
they didn't
they actually didn't show
Asante crying either
it was so funny
no they took a picture of it though
they took a picture
it was weird
but Mia was crying
he looked so bad
Tamera was crying
like
they were really crying
they were upset

they sent you home
and Tamera
they were all upset and I looked dude they sent you home and Tamir they were all upset
and I looked at Tamir
and she was like
this
she goes
don't look at me like that
I was like
I looked at her like
what the fuck
did you do that for
she like scolded me
I was like
okay
alright
yeah cause people
were asking me like
oh you know
were you sad
cause you and her
didn't really like
connect or anything like that
I was like nah
me and Tamir
were a lot closer to what the show acted like yeah I was like nah Me and Tamera's Were a lot closer
To what the show acted like
Yeah
I was like it sucks
Cause
She loves you
We have actually had a lot
Even now we're like
Really close
Me and Tamera
Even me and Louise
Are like really close
Just dope
Mia called me yesterday
Talking about
She bought a bearded dragon
It's so stupid
What's that
A bearded
What's a bearded dragon
Yeah
A dragon with like a beard
Oh I thought it was
Like a weird sexual thing
Why was she calling me About that I don't know You said you were close I thought it was like a weird sexual thing why was she talking about that
I don't know
you said you were close
I don't want to know
her sexual endeavor
bearded dragon
sounds like something like
that sounds like
really really tough
that's what she got
I didn't know
you were actually
talking about the animal
no she really got that
because that's kind of
unrealistic
yeah who has that
believe it or not
a girlfriend of mine
actually had a bearded dragon
and we used to let
she used to let
put it down on my house
is that okay
is that okay
like that's fine right
cause like lizards
that's a lizard
she bought it at a pet store
yeah
is that the same
as having a snake
my brother has a snake
a python
actually
which who
Tyler
no way
yeah bro
that's weird right
I think it's actually
really cool
I mean I'm
I'm afraid of it
but I
I actually used to
have a snake too
I caught it while
I was hiking
was it nice
it was a beautiful
little like um
it was beautiful
it was super small though
that's fine
that's a snake
I could have
small good looking snake
but if it gets big
small good looking snake
yeah yeah it's not terrifying
I mean even a Python is about like this rose. Really? He feeds it like like mice and all that
I think snakes, you know my issue with reptiles. I don't think reptiles like I
Don't think they recognize us. So I don't think they care to be
like oh this is my owner not like a dog or a cat I think reptiles like are like ghosts they lose
their memory every three seconds like I don't think they care yeah they don't know or care
they're like I had a traumatizing experience with a snake one time these people used to babysit me
and they had a snake and it got loose in our house and they couldn't find it and I was still going
over there yeah that's a fear.
Yeah.
That's a fear.
Now that,
I wouldn't want to take a nap.
Bro,
I was fucked up.
And like,
I had to go to the bathroom by myself
and I was just like,
like seven.
Did you tell your mom then?
Did they know?
I think they knew
and one night
they found it under the fucking oven.
Oh!
Oh yeah.
Bro,
imagine cleaning under,
like moving your oven out trying to sweep. Was! Oh, yeah. Bro, imagine cleaning under, like, moving your oven out
trying to sweeten it.
No.
This is a hell of a lot.
Ah!
Why don't they cook
enough to know
that it's just
under the oven?
To me, like,
if you cooked it,
it should have died.
It should have been cooked.
But the fact that
they've gone that long...
It might have just
snuck back there.
It might not have
lived back there like that.
Well, they just got
a whole bunch of them to take out. That's, like, actually there like that. They just got a whole bunch of them take out.
That's actually weird to me.
Microwavable food, bro. Hot pockets.
That's all they ate.
I actually love snakes. I've always loved snakes.
I have a fear of cockroaches,
which I think everybody does.
My teacher used to have hissing cockroaches.
They're not from...
They're not like...
I don't know where they're from maybe
indonesia or something like there's a specific they're called hissing cockroaches i swear to
god like they sit they're like oh my god yes bro they're from madagascar bro why are they so big
they're huge dude and they sit on your hand and they go i would throw it at the my teacher had
one and um she like put it down and she was like this is what irritates me i don't
like when people who handle animals act like they know what the animals are gonna do right so she
puts it down on the desk and she starts talking to us about it and we're all around the desk and
it just i don't know if you don't cockroach they're fast bro like it picks up and runs and
runs up one of the girl's arms and like we're all like freaking out
I'll never forget this
never forget this
it was second grade
now I have a
like so I'm not afraid of bugs
but cockroaches bro
have a special place
in my heart
bro they don't die
they don't
the cockroaches
don't they
how long do they live
they can live like
nine days without their head
I think
what the fuck
I swear to god
something weird like that
god damn it
that you're not supposed to
step on a cockroach if you see it. Why? Because it'll
fucking...
Remember? 20 to 30 weeks. Oh my God.
I thought it was going to say years.
But that's still a long time for a bug.
Flies only live like three days.
30 weeks.
Bro, that's a long time.
That's a lot of rent.
That's 56 weeks in a year.
That's almost a year.
Oh, wow.
It says the average cockroach life span is anywhere between 20 and 30 weeks all the way up to five years.
Oh, my God.
Five years.
That's an ongoing joke saying that cockroaches could last like a nuclear blast.
They could.
Why are they so strong?
I don't know.
I don't like that.
And some people, like, have you ever heard if you eat a cockroach has as much protein as like a steak well I hope not
what no yeah brother they're super bugs it's super bugs so that's so you can't
kill them yes if you eat them it's all the protein you need the whole entire
day they're high in protein levels
protein levels.
They're edible and healthy and they're high in protein levels.
Oh my God.
Would you put some A1 sauce
on that joint?
I don't like that.
I would put ketchup on it.
But no,
so you're not supposed
to step on it
because if you step,
they say when you step
on a cockroach,
a cockroach knows
it's going to get stepped
and releases eggs.
Oh, for sure, bro.
Bro,
I can't.
They release eggs
so basically like
they can keep their like
nest or whatever going
their lifespan
like their babies
they just multiply
so that's what they say
so they say when you get a cockroach
to catch it
first of all
and eat it
and who's quick enough
to catch a cockroach
have you seen one
I just don't even want to look
I don't
oh my god
when I see one
I turn my head
do you ignore it
yeah I'm like
I can't
if you see a spider in your house
do you kill it
you know what's weird I think I'm weird for this I kind of don't want to say it you'm like I can't if you see a spider in your house do you kill it you know what's weird
I think I'm weird for this
I kind of don't want to say it
you human love
I don't bother
because a lot of times
if I see a spider
it's in an area
it's in an area
that I can't reach
okay
okay there's one like
moving across
oh no
the comforter on your bed
oh I'm stepping on it
I'm like slapping it
but like if I look
and I see the corner
of like my
closet
I'm like okay bro I step on the slapping it. But like if I look and I see the corner of like my closet,
I'm like,
okay.
Bro,
I step on the arm of the couch and jump like Spider-Man
and slap the shit out of it.
Because you know,
I hate flies
and gnats
and mosquitoes
more than I hate spiders.
And there's so much
to tell you.
Spiders know what they're doing.
Right?
The second you open your door,
there's like four flies coming
and like they're,
like they're awaiting.
Like they can ring the doorbell.
Literally.
And they're so stupid. You can leave the door wide open and they won't know how to get out
i hate that so because of that like flies on a screen they just think they're gonna get out
and you can't hit them i just shut the window they're my pet for like a week
we got a new pet dad have you ever looked And seen how many Dead flies are actually In your windowsill
Why did you look today
I'm not going to
I'm not going to
Check that out
It's definitely seven
Does he really clean
Like let's see
No I'm not
Hey how do you like
The Indies
First time in the
Midwest
I'm going to be honest
With you where we're at now
It looks like San Francisco
This is good downtown
So like
So the one thing
I've learned about
A lot of downtowns,
they kind of mirror
each other a lot.
Especially big cities,
you know,
Indies,
not somewhere I've ever
thought I'd come into,
I'm going to be honest with you.
Bro,
when I told you where I was from,
you go,
are there black people there?
Literally.
What do you think this is?
I've still only seen six.
So,
I mean,
even then,
that's question seven
still relevant. Six and a mean, even then, that's question seven.
Still relevant.
Six and a half.
He's mixed.
He's mixed.
Six and a half.
But no,
it looks like San Francisco,
like where we're at
right now,
like the streets
of San Francisco.
The only difference
is San Francisco
smells like pee.
It smells like pee.
That's all I hear
about San Francisco.
The 49ers and shit.
And I'm like,
no, okay.
And you know,
misconception,
the 49ers are not
even in San Francisco. They're in San Claire. They're like And you know, misconception, the 49ers are not even in San Francisco.
They're in San Claire.
They're like closer
to San Jose.
Why are they even
branding?
Just like the 49ers,
or the Warriors,
are actually in,
they were in Oakland.
Now they're in San Francisco.
So it doesn't make any,
it doesn't make sense.
So now all the Golden State Warriors
or the San Francisco 49ers
are, you know,
none of them are in.
The only team that's in the city that is the uh the giants san francisco giants baseball oh yeah their
stadium is amazing i love how they have that water out there people canoe to the ball bro i can hold
you know san francisco is one of the coldest places that night cold oh my god it's not fun
it's not fun it's not fun California is so weird bro
California should be
It's own country
I think we should actually
Split that shit up
It's too big
It is huge
So like
That's the funny thing
People are like
Oh you know
Like Peter Axelson
Bro are you serious?
That's where they play?
But look at
If you look
Everybody has on a jacket
It's daytime
Everybody
It's freezing in San Francisco
Like it's
It's a nice day.
I live in Sacramento. In Sacramento, we get
90 to 100.
That's maybe 60
miles away from San Francisco.
I'll look at the weather if I'm
going to the Bay that day. It'll be 98 degrees
in Sacramento.
It'll be 62 in San Francisco.
That big of a... It's so weird. It's freezing.
I love that. I understand. Why have I And it's freezing. I love that Coke bottle
in their stands up.
Why have I never seen this park?
I only saw it because
Barry Zahn was crushing shit.
It's a beautiful park.
That's amazing.
The food.
Baseball food.
No, the food at this stadium.
What do they have?
So they have this crab sandwich.
Why is baseball food just out?
It is.
Out of the park.
You sponsored the MLB. why is baseball food just out it is out of the park you look
that wall
wall
you sponsored
the MLB
on this next episode
you know
it's beautiful
and like the food
they have crab sandwiches
and like
they do a lot of
seafood stuff
because of you know
and they're next to the pier
they're on the pier actually
so like
you can walk pier 39
and all that
and walk and see
like it's very touristy
but
like when you come I'm gonna for sure take you there just because i think it's important to
take somebody to the touristy spots i want to go to that we can go watch a game there yeah for sure
oh my god for sure that's what that's what i want to do every time i go out of town for some reason
i'm like can we do a baseball game i don't even like baseball but then go to the oakland coliseum
and see how horrible the a's and stagys. Oh my God. It's like falling apart.
I thought they got a new one.
No.
It literally is falling apart.
It didn't even come up on the Google search.
They don't want you to know that.
Oh, the Raiders used to play there?
That's so broke.
So when the Raiders were still there.
I like how when they had the baseball field in the football field.
I hate it.
I did too, but I was like, that's just crazy that they do that.
As a Raiders fan, I hated it. I thought it was but I was like, that's just crazy that they do that. As a Raiders fan, I hated it.
I thought it was so ragged.
I'm like, you're an NFL team.
That is so true.
I have turf.
But even now they don't have turf.
It was just different.
That's what I like.
Dude, if they show like the actual like.
That's so much field in there.
No, it is.
But if they actually show the structure of the Coliseum, it's like cracked and breaking.
You could be sitting in like sitting and like pebbles will fall
on your head
because it's just so
so bad.
Pebbles in your popcorn?
I swear to God.
Like you look up
and like
is the section above
you going to fall?
Like it feels like
it's going to fall on you.
It's so bad.
That's all I think
when I'm in a stadium.
I'm like which part
of this is going to fall down?
And I think that's why
the Raiders left.
Because of like there was issues with the Coliseum.
Ew, bro.
They wanted to leave.
The Kings have a beautiful stadium.
The Golden One Center in Sacramento.
I only remember Arco Arena.
Yeah, see, that's still there.
I used to be the biggest Kings fan.
Really?
Yeah.
What was he like, Chris Webber or something?
Jason Williams, Chris Webber.
Oh, Jason Williams. Webber oh Jason Williams
he was so hard
so cliche
so I live
I live less than
less than a mile away
from the stadium
so like it's so cool
because there's so many
attractions around it
like there's an underground
mini golf course
under the stadium
and like
bro it's
when I say it's like
it's dope bro
it's dope
so they have all these attractions and stuff like right there under this.
This is all king shit?
You know your team sucks when they got all this extra shit.
Oh, no, for real, because the kings are garbage.
Yeah.
Garbage.
But like everything around us, they have the best restaurant.
They have like wine tasting and champagne.
So this is like in your neighborhood?
Literally, I can walk here.
Really?
Yes, bro.
I'm telling you, when you come to S Sacramento, we'll do all of this stuff.
I'm over here upselling it now.
You were making Sacramento sound like freaking Jerusalem.
Jesus looked at me.
I swear to God, dude.
When we were on the show, you're like, they have this and that and brunch, and we got rooftops.
I'm like, oh, my God, the girls.
There's a comedy club right by my apartment.
Correction.
I will not say Sacramento
has no hate on the beautiful women
in Sacramento. That's exactly what you said.
But Sacramento, compared to Indy,
you've only seen me
today.
Oh,
touche.
You've seen me for eight hours.
Have you ever seen the ranking
of the ugliest
men in each city like the ugliest oh yeah
the ugliest men in each city
the ugliest women in each city
and I think Sacramento is like pretty high on the ranking
we're like ranked number one or two
for ugliest?
yeah I think we're pretty high up there
Sacramento second see
what the hell
like we're not that cute
I mean luckily I'm not from the Bay Area, but yeah, see?
Sacramento number two, bro.
I don't even think we're cracking the top ten, bro.
We're sexy out here in Indiana.
Wow.
Look at this shit.
Look at this shit.
No, we're not on top of the ten.
Wow.
That doesn't make any sense because Scottsdale, Arizona has hot people.
Are they on there?
Well, I think when there's more people there.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know.
What's the, do you know your population?
Most attractive cities.
Hawaii, Colorado, Scottsdale.
Scottsdale is attractive.
Oh, yeah.
I've heard Colorado actually is a lot more attractive.
Houston for sure.
Oh, my God.
They just got legs in Colorado, bro.
All they do is hike.
Las Vegas makes sense.
It's pretty much melting pot
Reno has some
pretty ugly people
my mom is from there
Cleveland, Ohio sounds so ugly though
how do they find the sound? I don't know
just walk around the city
they just see the first hundred people
they usually do this
if you go to airports you could probably judge that
because people are so trash at
airports.
Oh, my God.
It's just you people.
People wear what they wear to bed.
I can't believe it.
I'm like, you look like shit.
Bed head going through TSA.
I'm like, bro.
The same outfit people wear at home when they have the flu is the same outfit people wear
when they go to bed.
On a plane.
I've never seen a hot person on a plane.
Oh, my God.
When people bring their pillow on a plane, I think that's so gross.
I've done that.
No.
Even neck pillows are gross on a plane to me.
But I'm saying the one that you lay on your bed with is so gross.
I don't think I've ever done that.
I'll bring that on a car road trip, though.
I'll do that.
I won't.
I can't.
You got the pillow that has Cheeto stains on it?
No.
But I don't want my pillowcase just out for everyone to see.
I don't want you to see my bedding.
Tommy Hilfiger.
I just think it's so weird.
It just looks so bad.
Yeah, it's wild.
It is cool.
I'm looking forward to obviously seeing more of the city.
People are really nice.
I will say that.
Do they have the nicest we got do they have like
the nicest cities
do they have that
it'll be
it might be Indiana
dude
really
most Midwest
is the Midwest
oh Jesus Christ
it's gotta be all Midwest
probably
okay
no but it's not
it's not
really
I feel like Indies
is so average
and everything
Austin
California's like fake nice.
Charleston is number five.
California is fake nice.
Puerto Rico.
They try to be nice,
but they're mean in California.
No, California is like fake, bro.
They'll be like, oh yeah.
People will help you
and then they'll talk about you
and you hear them talking about you
as they walk away.
It's like, were you helping me?
It's weird. It's pretty, were you helping me? Like,
it's weird.
It's like pretty,
pretty fake.
I like,
I like,
I don't know how
you would ever rate this.
Let's go on Google Scholar
and see if they have like a,
usually like they have
a scholarly journal.
This is believable in Hawaii.
I believe that.
Yeah,
why is that?
So,
they're all in a great mood
because they're all tan.
I don't know where that is. People in, why is that? They're all in a great mood because they're all tan.
I don't know what that is.
People in— These are fake cities.
Of course.
They said California is in the top three.
They have so—it's funny because when it comes to, like, the nicest people and, like, how people treat people and stuff, like, Hawaii is, like, super nice, but Hawaii—Hawi hawaiians like hate that everybody's moving there oh i bet bro like they're driving up the prices of their
homes and i hate that i hate that i think that's so unfair it is like this is their land this is
their like and i think people i mean it's fine though i mean it's a it's not like it's illegal
no i don't think it's illegal at all but i think there should be some sort of protection
i think it's only because it is like it will like be less beautiful yeah because i mean even the
bay area so the bay area oakland san francisco used to be like black hispanic and um in asian
historically and then uh once techs are kind of going up um they uh started moving in and driving
up the price of things and you got got a whole bunch of luxury apartments.
One bedroom apartment in San Francisco is in downtown.
It's like $4,900.
Between like $3,900 and $4,200. That's insane.
It's a lot, bro.
What?
People can't afford that.
If you make $100,000 in San Francisco, you cannot live in San Francisco.
You have to commute, bro.
That's why I still live here.
Well, San Francisco, yeah yeah it's so cheap yeah like i i
don't i wonder if they like the average um i don't get how does anyone live in san francisco or like
new york how do people live in new york tell me but tech so tech bro what the fuck people do a
lot of tech like so that's your mostly me in like the Bay Area. What do you do? I work for a tech startup.
I work for a data analyst.
A data analyst,
which is like, I'm going to say loan to Totem Pole,
but they make a lot, dog.
Oh my god.
Tech is where it's at.
Tech is where it's at.
Yeah, I would do them in San Francisco County.
It's 120,000 a year.
Yeah, and that's not even like, you need to make more than that County. It's 120,000 a year. Yeah, and that's not even like...
You need to make more than that.
San Francisco, 120,000 a year,
that's actually pretty nice, but like...
I mean, not San Francisco. Sacramento,
120,000 a year is nice, but like
San Francisco, you're struggling.
That's so funny.
And then you come here and you see everything's on sale.
Bro, that's enough.
So when you came out here, we found out that a lot of your friends have houses.
Like they own their house.
That's so weird to me.
But I live here.
I only know two people in my life that own their house.
One of them is my mom.
The other one is my brother.
That's crazy.
All my friends. People own a house.
If you own a house and you're not 50, bro, what is happening?
Why?
Why do you need a house?
Why?
I mean.
Even if I had family, I'd be like, no, no, no, no, no.
We're staying here.
If you had to move, what were your top three places to move?
City, New York, LA.
One more.
I don't know.
I don't know about that third one.
If it had to be a wild card you think?
ah yeah
Dallas
there's hot people in Dallas
that's why I knew
LA, New York
and
Houston bro
I couldn't do Miami
no
I never want to go back
I can't do Miami
god damn it
that's
it was fun
but damn
Miami
I'm still feeling it
they beat us up
I think I just got over Miami
with that yoga session
no for real
how about that yoga session
for real
can we talk about that
for like 30 seconds
the yoga session was amazing
my hips are like
amazing
I'm so tight
I'm so glad you've done
dude
that should be mandatory
yoga
after you get off a plane
I agree
You sweat out all the impurities
And then you get a real good
Mobility stretch
I'm so glad you've done yoga before
And you weren't like
In rookie mode
Because we were in a level 2
High class
Yeah
That's no game
Yeah no it's not
I stopped a few times
Like if I'm like
Okay I actually need to take a break
And I was going to child support
You got right back into it though
Because there's this old ass dude
In front of us who was killing
And I wasn't going to look over And you're doing it And I'm not doing it I know I was trying to show off and shit I was going to child's school. You got right back into it, though, because there was this old-ass dude in front of us who was killing. And I wasn't going to look over, and you were doing it, and I'm not doing it.
I know.
I was trying to show off and shit.
I was like, I have to be better.
I was putting my leg up and stuff.
When we would do the tree pose, and you would kind of fall over, I'm like, yes.
I didn't fall.
Man, I was so sweaty.
I was going to eat it.
I was going to eat it.
I'm so glad we did that.
It feels really good, though.
My body feels amazing.
Refreshed.
I still need to eat, though.
Let's eat?
is the food in Indy good?
or is it like just
depends where you go
yeah it's good
I mean I love all food though
so I'm kind of
I'm not the right person to ask
I mean if you love all food
you're actually the right person to ask
really?
yeah think about it
if you don't love all food
you'll say no
but if you love all food
you can say yeah
this is why this is good
this is why I like this
that means if you don't like something
I'm not picky
but I mean if you don't like something 9'm not picky but I mean if you don't
like something
it's not
right
that's true
see look at you
come on man
let's go get some lamb
for people that don't know
we really are brothers
we're best friends
we're trying to make
some stuff happen
so that you can see
