Tyler, you're not really just a Bachelor alum anymore. you are an alum of so many shows you are you know special forces master winner you have dancing with you had um the dirty dancing show and you're runner up on the dancing show i was see they they couldn't have made you the winner because you already have too much suasy to you like do you get

that often that like you look like it you could be a young patrick suasy i got a little bit of that especially during that show. There was a lot of the comparisons. But, I mean, it's an honor. He is, one, just the most handsomeness and a stud and great looking. And also just such a talent, you know, watching his movie in Roadhouse, watching dirty dancing, watching Point Break. Like, he is just incredible.

And it was cool to try and be Johnny, you know. Yeah, he's truly just a legend and someone that I feel like women and men both idolize. Yes. And, yeah, exactly. Like, men love him, women love him. Like, he is, he's easy to put me of what you want to be in that world, you know. And now you have a new show. It's called, oh my gosh, it's going home with Tyler Cameron. And this is the first time where it's truly your show. So tell everyone what it's about. Little elevator synopsis. I'm excited. Going home with Tyler Cameron. essentially you are coming home with me you are going to my house my hometown meet my family meet my friend and see me work you know see me dive into this construction career that I've been going after for the last probably two three years really since kind of since COVID happened and you guys kind of get you know the view of what it's like and you're going to see I'm not

perfect I'm going to mess up I'm going I'm going to learn you're going see me screw up and you're going to see me grow from it. And I wanted like when I was talking to production, I was like, guys, I want this to be real. I want us to be raw. I don't want it to be perfect like you see a lot of these other home shows. I want people to see my mistake. So I'm learning. I'm growing and I'm just like every other person going into a home and trying to renovate and trying to make it better. And I think it comes across and I'm excited for this show to come out and people to see that story. When you were last on our podcast, you just did an interview with Ben. I was basically on maternity leave. And I, you know, Ben and I will be honest. We don't always

listen to the interviews that each other do back. But with you, I really wanted to. And I love what you were talking about. You're like, you know, I got off the show. It was all sparkle and limelight and Hollywood. And I think it was just around that time, especially given the time that you just gave us, that you were just like, I need to ground myself again. And I feel like this show is going to display what you've been doing. Because you have been able to be very involved with media, but also you're doing this. So you kind of have, you're Hannah Montana, Tyler. It's funny.

You said that because we always joke around about it. Like, I literally, I love it because I get to live like this grungy construction life. Like I'm wearing beat up work boots and, you know, I got shitty clothes that will have stands in them forever now. And that's my wardrobe here in town and I love it. And then when I go to New York, it's like we dress up. We look nice. We go out and we do nice things. And so it's like the best of both worlds.

The best of both worlds. Exactly. So it's great. I love what I do. I love being in the space. And honestly, nothing has made me feel more fulfilled and happier than being home and doing these and starting these businesses and being around the friends I grew up with. Like we have great friends from the show.

but I got better friends back at home and so I've always liked to stick with my people well you have your friends and your family involved with the show your dad your two brothers and then your best friend is his name Ryan or Rob? Rob. Yeah Rob so Robb's involved you basically have to convince Rob to move to Jupiter Florida leave his home base in Georgia to be part of your construction company Image 1

Can you give us a little teaser as how that's going to go? It's tough. You know, Rob has, he's got a kid who's entering high school and he's got a beautiful daughter who I believe is in kindergarten, you know, and having him down here, like, it's tough because he's missing, you know, he miss his daughter's, like, first basketball games and he missed some of his son's, you know, sports and stuff like that. And that's hard for any father, I'd imagine. and so my whole thing was like man let's bring the whole family down here let's let's go after this together and see what we can do and it's just kind of like a you know trial to see will he won't he bring his family down and try and make something more out of this and what about your brothers what were they doing before you're trying to get them involved with this so my one brother's

in the army there's no getting him involved he loves what he's doing he's and he you know he loves where he's at um my other brother uh he he we tried it and uh you guys will see like we work well together but you know he's you'll see more about us and how we work together and how that goes in the show but he he's a firefighter now okay great well you make clear during the first episode you're like dad i know that you are the experienced one with construction you're a general contractor but you are not part of my company why was that is he just retired tired or you were like dad let's not mix family like dad and son and this yeah i love my pops i've tried i've worked i have projects i do do with him you know um but i'd love to do my own thing

you know and i love to you know part of me wants to put my dad in a position where like hey pops like i just want you to come around and hang out and and help me if you can and i want my i want my I want to put my pop's at ease, you know, and he's worked so hard for us for so many years. And he's, and he'll probably work until he dies just because he loves doing it. But part of me wants to prove to him that I can do this on my own. I don't need you to hold my hand. And as a parent, I think you'll see it's hard for him to let go because he wants to be so involved in my life, you know. But it's, it's tough.

We've definitely had some blowouts. We've had some great times. But working with family and friends can be very, very tough. Everyone says don't do it. And when everyone says me, don't do it, I always got to see for myself. Yeah, you got to play devil's advocate there. Yeah. Well, as part of the show, you are going to renovate your mom's house.

Now, your mom passed away four years ago. I can't believe it's been four years. That's got to be the most emotional thing. How and why did you decide to renovate it? And then tell me how emotional it was to just change parts of her house. Well, actually, the real back story to it all is, so a week before my mother passed, my dad was handing her, like, the documents to the house. Like, it is finally paid and cleared. This is your house, you know. And that's always been a goal of his. And he made that happen. And then my whole thing was, he's got the house. Now, I can renovate it for her. And I was flying in, I was flying home on the 20. to shoot the sizzle reel, which is like what you shoot, shoot to sell the show.

And she's supposed to be a big part of it. And then her accident happened at 27th. So then we had to postpone the shoot, postpone everything. Then COVID happened right after that. So then the sizzle reel happened like way, way after that, you know? The sizzle reel for which show? For this construction show. No way.

So this has been in the works for over four years? Yeah. Oh, wow. So this was like an opportunity that you were, you had gotten soon after the bachelor at Raft. Mm-hmm. And so we were, so then, so then, you know, my mom's accident happens. Well, yeah, accident, we can say happens.

And then, and then COVID happens right after. And so we can't film anything, you know. And so me and my age and were like, you know, like, what do we do? You know, and we ended up, me and my buddy shot something. thing. You know, we shot it together. We put it together. That's how we sold it, you know. But she was supposed to be a part of it every step of the way. And she was supposed to be the realtor to help me find my houses to help me find my next projects and be a huge part of the show. And the last, you know, part of the show was always going to surprise her with her own

home renovation. Because her house, her house needed it so badly. So, I mean, you'll see it was very emotional at the end to finish up her house I was always excited to do it and we were doing that was so amazing so excited and thrilled because such great change

was happening and this needed to happen for many many years and then to get to that point when I'm supposed to be handing her the keys to her house you know they you know

that's when I got emotional I was like damn like she should be here with us right now enjoying this this is for her and for that to not happen And that was heartbreaking. But to share it with my brothers and to share it with my dad and everyone, it still made it special.

So who's going to have the house now? So I lived in it right afterwards. And then it was such an amazing house. And I was like, I can never sit still, Ashley. And I was living in it. And I was thinking to myself, like, this isn't right. I put a bunch of money up to make this house right. Me and my dad did.

and to do it for for ourselves and my brothers. But I didn't feel right living in it. And so I decided I wanted to turn this into a rental and share it with everybody. And I turned it to an Airbnb. And what's great about that is now, like it's kind of like the gift. It's like the gift that keeps on giving for mom because, you know, it's booked. It's busy. It's rented.

My brothers are able to make some money off of it. But one day maybe it becomes one of their first homes for their family, when they have a kid, you know, I always said, like, one of you all have a kid and need a home, like, this is here for you guys, you know? Oh, that's fantastic. I love that idea. I love that you kept it, you know, so, like, you're still the owner, but, yeah, it's shared and that, like, you could always go there if you need.

Exactly. That'll be a house that will forever cherish our whole lives. I don't think you'll never be able to get that out of our hands forever because, like, that's where 31 years of our lives has been a part of, you know. I've lived on, I haven't lived there all 31 years, but we lived on three different houses in that neighborhood my whole life. But we've always kept that house, you know? And when the market crashed and we lost everything, we moved back to that house, you know.

And so that home has, you know, I had so many tears, so much, so much joy, so much pain, everything, you know. So to finally make it something special again. And honestly, like when my mom lived there, it was a home. and when she was gone like everyone kind of saw like during quarantine what the house turned into because everyone was watching you know whenever was watching that was the quarantine crew house yes like that was a quarantine crew house and they saw what kind of disaster everyone would be talking to me clean up your house fix this fix that I'm like ah one day not right now and they

turn to a frat house basically yeah it did and now it's back to being a home and it's beautiful and we maintain it and we you know it's well kept now and uh it's it's like our pride and joy Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this Attention passengers, the pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying like, okay, pull this, do this, pull that, turn this. I can do it my eyes close.

My name is Ed. Everyone say hello, Ed. Hello, Ed. I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer, and my mom is a cousin, so, like, it's not like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago.

I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. The 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage. available now Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeartRadio app

Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts That was four years ago The Quarantine Crew House and how we all watched How you guys spent your time there What do you look back and think about That Tyler, that version of you? Oh man, just the careless, carefree wild times that like there was no responsibility like we just had to sit in the house and hang

I felt like summer camp you know we just sat in that house and like I know it wasn't so great for others and it was tragic time you know but like I think about that time like it was me Matt Hannah you know brown bear Katie Dooley like some of my greatest friends all in a house and we just hung out and just were with each other for months and months and it was you know it was honestly it was healing because that was wrapped my mom passed away within like a week and a half two weeks yeah and so to be there and have everyone around us it was like the best thing that could have ever happened instead of like going back to new york city um or doing anything like that so what happened when it was over you know we could all kind of live normal lives again did you have like a jarring

transition back? No, I think, so I got a girlfriend over quarantine and she was a South Florida girl. And so we were always kind of in that house and hanging in that house and she always gave me crap. Like, I ain't ever moving into this house

the way it looks, you know? And I was like, what you mean? I'll just put a carpet over there and do, you know, hang some drapes over here. And she was like, no, no, no. And looking back, I don't blame her. that house was a wreck. You know, I mean, there was water spots everywhere, mold everywhere. It wasn't safe.

So, you know, I kind of at that point in time, though, I was like, I'm here. I already had a couple restaurants that got involved with here in Florida. And I already had two properties that we were building houses on in Florida. So I was like, I'll just be here. And COVID changed the game. Like, I don't have to be in New York or L.A. For all these castings and meetings, we can hop on a Zoom. and I can be there in a day, you know.

Yeah. So when you were doing the renovations on the house, did you make it exactly what you would imagine your mom would want to see, like the details and all of that? Like, architecturally, architecturally. It is, I think it would be above and beyond what my mom would want it. Because my mom, she has like that, you know, like the cheesy nautical thing to everyone does.

my mom definitely falls in that category. So, like, we would have had to be like, mom, that's great and all. But we're going to do this special and make it really, really nice for you. Because, I mean, this thing is beautiful. I mean, this is something that, you know, we bring clients to. They see, you know, we've signed deals to renovate people's homes based off of bringing them to that house, you know. And it's definitely more of the times. And, you know, it's, they call it Japan, like Japanese, Scandinavian vibe within the house.

Japanese and Scandinavian. Yeah, and it has to deal with, like, the wood finishes and the stone finishes and all that stuff, as well as, like, the furniture is more like mid, like, mid-century modern. Yeah, I was stumbling, mumbling over my words, mid-century modern. I almost said mid-tenry modern. Mid-century modern. So, I mean, it's really cool space. Oh, nice.

Okay, so we will be able to see this when the show, well, the show is coming out. now it's out now um amazon prime video april 18th yeah i we were we can't air it until so it's out now april 18th and why did you go with amazon prime did you is why amazon especially since this has been in the works for a while i think amazon was the biggest believer in our vision um because we didn't want to just make a home rental show like we wanted you to also see like jupy and my life and like my friends and my people and those relationships and all that stuff and part reality show yeah so it's like it's definitely a blend of both you know whereas you know you kind of some of the other you know networks wanted a real strict home rental show so we were

you know this this was definitely the best fit and i also feel like amazon like when you need something for your house or when you need something what do you call you call amazon yeah you know so i feel like they're just they're in with the design they're in with renovations like so many times we'd be in a pinch, we'd call Amazon. You know, we would go online and buy whatever we needed and it'd be there the next day. Like, it's just, I just think that Amazon is so on with the times and, and they're doing great stuff and, you know, on prime, but also, like, in store. And you have some of your bachelor friends on.

You have Hannah Brown. She's in an episode. Now, you and Hannah have had just the most up and down of relationships, you know, your friends, you're not friends. Are you dating? You're not dating. now obviously you're not dating um what is your relationship like now and what should we expect to see from her on the show um relationship's great um i think you'll see like it's we have to figure out how we work

together yeah right like every time you see each other it's like wiggly exactly exactly because you know we've we definitely've had our past of ups and downs like you said and i think we definitely work them out. We don't be working out. And it's for everyone to see. But what I love about Hannah is like anything she does, she goes full speed, 100 miles an hour and gives it her all. And she did that. You know, I called it on a big favor. I was like, my designer can't take on this work. She's got, she's too full. Can't do it. Like, this person loves bachelor nation, loves me, loves you. Like, this would be huge. And it's also the biggest. house I've ever been in.

Like, help me get this client, you know? The biggest house you've ever been in and you're having Hannah decorate it? Yeah, yeah. Just because she was that big of a bachelor's fan. I walked into the house and she had my book and I, uh, and like a, like a Tyler Urban Dictionary, like, T-shirt on. Like, she's a big man of the shows. You know what I mean?

And I mean, this is like, I've driven by this house so many times in Jupiter. I was like, that house is amazing. I would like that's a dream home and they called and it was incredible and but I had no designer I was like well I was like thinking a lot of options I kicked around a lot of ideas and and then I was like well Hannah she had a pass in this you know and this lady loves bachelor like loves love loves and there it was well I have to say from what I've seen of Hannah's places on Instagram they're very cute She does a great job putting them together. She does a great job.

She does a great job. So I was confident in the sense that she was going to give us her all and do her homework and make sure she meets the client's needs. Just not confident in how we were going to jive. Interesting. You just weren't sure how this one time was going to go because every time is different. Yeah, exactly, exactly. You know, so I think we're both like in such a place now where we're accepting, we understand each other. you know and our past is our past okay yeah especially with her being engaged so jason tarsig is

also on the show yeah jason's there what role does he play so jason you know he's a money guy yeah i was going to say you have to he's talking about financing these projects all he talks is dollar this dollar that on his instagram and i was like you know i was like oh i need you know i could use a few dollars to help me do this and uh so he's kind of like my partner he's He's the money guy and helps, you know, help on in some money. And we renovated his house together. You renovated Jason's house? No, no, no, no.

Oh, another guy. Okay. No, like we renovated an Airbnb that we turned into an Airbnb. Oh, so it's an investment thing for him. Yeah. So, and this is really just a cool, like, funky little nautical boat house that we, you know, that we made happen. So why is your, you know, supposed Bachelor Bestie, Matt James, not part of the show? I feel like you have a little too you oh he is he's in there you see some Matt okay all right all right so you guys are still are you still as close as you used to be because sometimes we see headlines where it's like I can't be such good friends with Rachel and like all that we've had we've had we've had our growing pains for sure you know um but yeah me and Matt me and Matt are great um I actually just saw him yesterday um everything you know we're great um

beat him in some pickleball yesterday but yeah Matt came down like you what you see is like we had the last supper at my mom's house and so I invite anyone who spent a lot of time and has been a part of my mom's house and a part of my mom and that has definitely been a part of both you know which was with the quarantine crew and then also his relationship with my mother um so I really wanted him to be a part of it and he was there for that and then he also showed up for the gala I was going to say you raised at this gala. Yeah, it's been amazing. What was the cause? So we're raising money for scholarships for students that are in need here, you know, within my town, county. Now we do it. Now we do everything in North Palmage County. So yeah, that year we raised $350,000. This year, we

we raised $450,000. And all that money is going to our kids. We now have, if you go to Basically, I'll put it this way. If you go to an in-state public school and you have our scholarship, your tuition is completely covered for. That's amazing. So this year, we're adding 14 new students on. So that'll put us at 21 students total. And we're just going to keep growing. You're killing it. Hi, my name is Enya Yumanzoor. And I'm Drew Phillips. And we run a podcast called Emergency. Intercom.

That is the best, most honest answer of all time. So you take your shirt off and you can do such good because you give the people what they want and then you're able to manipulate. You gotta use an occasional thirst shop every now and then to get you back in the mix, you know? So, like, I ain't dead, you know? All right, well, that's a good entrance way. Some fun questions that I have for you that I know you have to go, so we'll wrap this up soon,

but you, let's talk about you and Nick on special forces. You both are guys that love taking your shirts off. Both such prominent, successful members of Bachelor Nation, When you went into that, were you like, oh, this is my main competition. I have to make sure to beat this guy out, especially because at the time, I wasn't sure you could tie. Because you guys ended up like tying and all being crowned the winners. Or was it like I have a friend. Woohoo.

Honestly, it's the first one. It was like, I ain't going out before this dude in Bachelor Nation goes out. And that's for damn sure. Yeah. And so I wasn't going to lose to him. There's no shot in hell. I think that's why both of you ended up at the end. Yeah.

And also like Hannah Brown. Like Hannah Brown finished the show. That's right. You had to beat Hannah too. I was like really going through it. And I wrote all my issues down on a pen and pad, you know. And I was like, I can't be, I can't, I can't cop out, you know. And then I was like, man, if Hannah Brown gets through this and you don't, you'll never hear the end of it, you know?

And so, I mean, I already had so much respect. for her, um, but for Hannah to, to get through that show, that was one of the, I, I play football. I went through two days. I went through hell. I went through getting killed by big dudes on the football field. Like, Hannah is a beast, you know, um, but, and then also have a Nick there too. I was like, I can't lose the Nick, you know, I like, and that's just, and I think Nick had that competitive badge in them, too. But what's funny is, like, by like, day three and four, I never really spent time with Nick, you know, I was like, I'm not really like this guy a lot. and when we get to be in those situations and sit there and talk through a lot of things

and just learn about each other like became to really love Nick and who he is and he's just he became you know became an amazing friend ever since and like I got so much love for the guy and became so proud of him for completing the show because there was a time on that show where I was like Nick's done yeah I remember that dip he was and then he just it was day six he was shot and I could see in his eyes and you can see it every time I see in those someone's eyes but gone in two hours gone in five hours and then all of a sudden day seven came around he had like a you know second win and he was a beast and that was like just so cool to see someone you know beat beat that internal battle within them and become such a dog and

make it through and I just made me have so much respect for him and I mean I'm like that guy will do anything you know what it's for his kids family friends like he'll he'll go through hell and back but she did you know yeah he's such a teddy bear inside but has such a hard shell sometimes and i love that that show really showed a side of him that i think bachelor fans haven't been able to see yeah it strips off that you know it takes away that show and it makes you very vulnerable and real and raw and we have to rely on each other and he was so great for that um okay so Maria for from this past season of The Bachelor. People are saying that, you know,

she wasn't, she wasn't selected to be the Bachelorette. And some people are going, well, you know what? She has bigger and better things. Look at what Tyler did. After not accepting the role, what would your advice be to somebody who has such prominence amongst the fandom right now, but is not going to be the lead?

strike ball the iron's hot i think uh she's done an amazing job i didn't get to watch the season but i think she's done such an amazing job captivating the audience and the people like i it's i feel like this is the first year in a few years that we got people buzzing about the show a bunch now you know and uh i think she's got to strike while the iron's hot you know be creative think about what her lane and what her focus is and go for it you know i think uh people love her because she's real and raw and honest and keep delivering that. You can't avoid this question. I'm so sorry.

You mentioned that there's somebody in your presence right now named Tate. She's also on the show. People are talking about you possibly dating. Is this a thing? I don't know. What has made you be so private about relationships since maybe your relationship with Gigi? Just because once you make it possible, public for everybody. It's everyone's

chance to pick on it and make their opinions about it. And I'm okay with that. I can deal with public scrutiny. I've been getting this since I was 15 years old and playing varsity quarterback at my high school. You're just not like a classic movie

quarterback. Wow. Tyler. Yeah. I was like the most shit on person in the county. Like there was there was a, I remember there was a postmate about me. It had like 1,000 they had over a thousand comments on it. And it was called when the lights are on camera, off you know it's like a post secret no it was like one of the blogs about high school sports within the county it's like what we all would go to to to read up on the news and stuff and it was just ripping

me apart you know and I was like I so I've been doing this my whole life you know and but others I don't want them to have to go through that you know or at least not right away in a sense but you know I don't know I just like I like keeping things private to myself and One day, maybe, but no, I'm just, I'm worried about focusing on work, building my career, building my life, and I'm really happy doing what I'm doing. Respectable answer. My last one is a little bit for myself and a little bit for people who are thinking about getting a new house, remodeling. What is something that you think that a house should totally have something that people don't normally think about in your building and constructing today? like what is a component to a house you're like oh you have got to make sure you get that i think everyone needs to have an area in their house that they can be decompress them um

and you know like i think you need to have a lot of space where i can get away from jared i can get away from the baby and i can just be by myself and be me whether that's building yourself a little office my glam room i think i have that or your glam room it's my glam room slash guest room but it's basically like my dressing room in office. And I think that's so important. And like for me, for instance, like I always have people over. Actually, I'm putting two offices upstairs. One for me, one for the foundation.

Like my executive director will work here in the house. You know, like everyone who works for me will work here in the house. You know what? Like we'll shoot all my workout that is right here in his gym. You know, like so I need a space that's private within my own house that's I can step away from. And I'm building that. right now outside my primary bedroom I put in these fresh doors

when you open the fresh doors you go to a deck and that deck is going to have like a sun home sauna I love a deck off of a main bedroom yeah and I'm having my own little coal plunge and I put this like fence all around it and these beautiful arch gates and everything and

you can see through it kind of but it's going to be my naked space I'm going to be out there I'm going to be out there tan and naked sure you want to tell the ladies out there about this well I got no neighbor to the right me. So if you're over there peeking, you're really sketchy. And you got to go through like a jungle of woods to get to the side of my house. You know what I mean? Yeah. Well, don't, don't, you know,

to think that ladies won't do it. Oh, I know. I've already had, I've already had crazy people come to the house before. So I love that, like, part of you just doesn't care. You're just like, if you're that crazy as mine as well, you know, whatever. You're crazy. Yeah. Exactly. So, I mean, it's my little oasis. And I think everyone wants you trying to find a ways. to put a place in their house where they can kind of decompress, recoup, and catch, sometimes you just kind of get away to catch your breath. And I think that's important. Okay.

Well, Tyler, your show airs April 18th. It's out there, guys, streaming on Amazon Prime. Is there anything else that you want to talk about with the show or your life right now? Anything to share last words with our audience? Just check out the show. I think it's a place where you're going to see. me for who I really, really am, you know, and not just like bits and pieces of me. I think everyone got to see me on the Bachelorette as a guy dating a girl.

And then you see pieces of me on special forces. But this is like real raw. It's me trying to build a business. It's me failing, me picking myself up. It's me navigating what the real world is really like, you know. I think we've been blessed, you know, me, you, Jared, Ben, the light that we've been given from, you know, the bachelor world. But this is kind of me stepping back into the real world, I'd say,

and giving it a real shot against other people who really do this stuff every day, you know. Well, Tyler, we have been, like, so grateful for the time you gave us, and we hope the show does it really well for you, and we hope to see you soon in person. You're seriously such a delight. I appreciate you so much for your time, and we'll definitely get up there and hang up the coffee shop soon. Okay. All right. Bye. Thank you. See you.
